| mbana | how do i uninstall kde? | 00:54 |
| goofey | if you do that in kubuntu, you'll be without a window manager | 01:00 |
| goofey | mbana: did you install gnome? | 01:00 |
| mbana | goofey: yes i do | 01:00 |
| mbana | i only wanted kde for the file browser | 01:01 |
| goofey | mbana: so you want to uninstall kde but keep konqueror | 01:02 |
| goofey | mbana: or is it nautulas you're after? | 01:03 |
| mbana | no i want the KDE file browser and to remove KDE | 01:03 |
| goofey | mbana: i guess what I'm trying to get to is that the KDE file browser is going to have most of kde as a dependency | 01:04 |
| mbana | how stupid | 01:04 |
| goofey | mbana: really? it's the *kde* file browser | 01:05 |
| mbana | if i run sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop | 01:06 |
| goofey | mbana: if you want to know what the dependanies are, type apt-cahce showpkg "kde file browser name" | 01:06 |
| goofey | er, apt-cache showpkg | 01:06 |
| mbana | this is strange; it's wanting to remove my texlive install and other needed dependencies | 01:07 |
| === music_off is now known as musical | ||
| mbana | goofey: how do i unistall this | 01:20 |
| goofey | mbana: you'll need to find out what the dependencies are of the kde file browser first. then you can remove what's left of kde after that - my guess is it won't be much | 01:23 |
| goofey | but the command is sudo apt-get remove (or purge) application(s) | 01:23 |
| mbana | ok i'm confused | 01:25 |
| mbana | i don't want the file browser anymore | 01:25 |

| goofey | mbana: casue there are a couple different ways | 01:29 |
| mbana | goofey: CLI. one line if i remember | 01:30 |
| goofey | mbana: right, but did you install kde or kubuntu-desktop? | 01:30 |
| mbana | kubuntu-desktop i think | 01:30 |
| mbana | not sure | 01:30 |
| goofey | mbana: ok, what happens when you type sudo apt-get -s purge kubuntu-dekstop | 01:31 |
| mbana | btw, how do i change the boot screen | 01:31 |
| goofey | mbana: boot screen? You mean grub? | 01:32 |
| mbana | no after installing kde, i got the KDE boot screen | 01:32 |
| goofey | mbana: I *think* this will do that: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-switch-between-gdm-and-kdm-on-ubuntu/ | 01:34 |

| rick_ | Hello. New to Kubuntu, and new to the IRC... | 03:23 |
| Luffy-Kun | welcome bienvenue | 03:25 |
| Dillizar | any one here | 03:26 |
| rick_ | Hi | 03:26 |
| Dillizar | hi | 03:26 |
| Dillizar | do ya know the command so i can go in as root | 03:26 |
| dr_Willis | !sudo | 03:26 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 03:26 |
| Dillizar | not sudo | 03:27 |
| Slartibartfast | sudo -i | 03:27 |
| rick_ | sorry. I am brand new here. Just installed Hubuntu over my windows this afternoon... | 03:27 |
| Dillizar | i want to go visually as root | 03:28 |
| dr_Willis | Your question is not clear Dillizar you use 'sudo' for most 'root' tasks. | 03:28 |
| dr_Willis | you do NOT log directly into X as root. | 03:28 |
| dr_Willis | thats a very bad idea | 03:28 |
| Slartibartfast | rick_: so you wiped windows from your HD and formated the partition with ext3 or something like that ? | 03:28 |
| Luffy-Kun | congratulation, you win a desktop clean :D | 03:28 |
| dr_Willis | and its disabled in the kdm config and gdm configs i belive.. and by the fact that root has no direct password to login with. | 03:28 |
| Dillizar | dr_Willis, i cant unmount a virtual cd | 03:28 |
| Dillizar | what is the command to make a folder | 03:29 |
| dr_Willis | Im thinking you may want to read a few linux basics/bash basics tutoriakls,,. | 03:29 |
| rick_ | Just installed Kubuntu over my windows this afternoon... w/ KD on to CD - then did the full install from CD | 03:29 |
| dr_Willis | mkdir - makes a directory | 03:29 |
| dr_Willis | umount UNMOUNTS a filesystem. | 03:29 |
| dr_Willis | note theres no 'n' in umount. :) | 03:30 |
| rick_ | So yes, it created a new partition for Kubuntu | 03:30 |
| rick_ | but it looks as if it preserved the folders on my disk | 03:30 |
| Luffy-Kun | okay | 03:31 |
| Slartibartfast | rick_: i mean: there are different ways of installing Kubuntu. One is that you bootup the computer from the Kubuntu CD and install from there ...... and the other is when you have windows running and install it in a big image file which stays inside the Windows partition | 03:31 |
| rick_ | the first. I booted from the CD, and installed | 03:32 |
| Slartibartfast | OK ... and then you did a guided disk partitioning ? | 03:33 |
| leandro_ | Alguem BR ? | 03:33 |
| Slartibartfast | and now you don't have windows anymore? ... would be a brave step :-) | 03:33 |
| rick_ | yes (guided disk part) | 03:34 |
| Luffy-Kun | I use Kubunru 64 and windows 32 on virtual machine (Vbox sun), this process is very util for the Adobe software (after effect, premiere, illustrator and photoshop) | 03:34 |
| rick_ | yeah - ballsy...lol | 03:34 |
| Slartibartfast | rick_: Thats great ... so there must be something you like to ask / talk about :-) | 03:35 |
| Luffy-Kun | for now, i wait presently Jahshaka version 3 and Lumiera :) | 03:36 |
| rick_ | Lots. First: How do I put the PC in sleep mode (hibernate)? | 03:36 |
| dr_Willis | Hibernate/suspend can cause issues. :) deopendiong on the exact hardware | 03:37 |
| Slartibartfast | rick_: ... mmm i myself have not good experiences with sleep modes and hybernation in linux .... it is still a work in progress | 03:37 |
| dr_Willis | ive not had good experioence with it under windows either | 03:37 |
| manuel__ | tag | 03:37 |
| Slartibartfast | dr_Willis: yeah .. me too .. some sound problems where the last issues | 03:38 |
| rick_ | I had the options (grayed out) when running from CD, but after the actuall install - I lost the Hibernate buttons | 03:38 |
| Slartibartfast | rick_ i have them on the developers version jaunty in the 'leave section' of the Kmenu | 03:39 |
| dr_Willis | if you are using Kde, use KDM, if using GNOME use GDM.. otherwise ive noticed some of the poweroff/susopend options may not be shown | 03:39 |
| Slartibartfast | but never use them because the issues | 03:40 |
| rick_ | I only have: "Logout", "Lock", "Switch Users", "Shutdown", and "Restart" | 03:41 |
| Slartibartfast | rick_, sorry i don't know why the suspend and hybernate options are now gone from your menu | 03:42 |
| Slartibartfast | did you use those a lot in windows ? | 03:43 |
| sille_ | d | 03:45 |
| PodeCoet | rick_: click shutdown, and then hold the shift key, tandby should change to hibernate | 03:45 |
| rick_ | OK, thanks. Another question: I have two hard disks in this machine now. Both windows XP drives. When i did the install, i told it to partition the first drive. But when i look in Dolphin - I only show one Hard Disk Device (Volumn) | 03:45 |
| sille_ | stupiid quetion...yes... how to set default nickname in Konversation?? | 03:46 |
| PodeCoet | file -> server list -> edit -> edit identity | 03:47 |
| rick_ | but I see folders from my 2nd drive. Even if I told it to partition the 1st drive - does it consolidate the space on both disks to look like one large drive?? | 03:48 |
| PodeCoet | nope, unless the drives are raided | 03:48 |
| PodeCoet | looks like you might've targetted the wrong drive | 03:48 |
| sille_ | PodeCoet: thx... | 03:49 |
| PodeCoet | god dammit, I lost my belt! | 03:50 |

| silleme | pls assist... I would like to hide non-mounted drives (windoze and other partitions) on my dual boot system... Woudl like the non-mounted hidden in dolphin file manager. Can anyone assit with this issue? | 05:42 |
| Paco_Paco | oh ok | 05:42 |
| Slartibartfast | and it is free | 05:42 |
| Slartibartfast | and also works on linux .... | 05:42 |
| Paco_Paco | oh ok nice | 05:42 |
| inanimate | So, is anybody else having trouble installing kdeplasma-addons? (In order to get extra plasma widgets.) | 05:42 |
| Slartibartfast | so i can virtualize winxp too | 05:42 |
| inanimate | I originally had it, then somehow it got uninstalled, and now I'm getting this when attempting to re-install it. | 05:43 |
| inanimate | http://pastebin.com/d556e75dc | 05:43 |
| Paco_Paco | Slartibartfast yeah i did that once on a native linux | 05:43 |
| Paco_Paco | only resources are a little too high for my liking | 05:43 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: i have here a C2D E6600 + 2GB ... so not really a problem here ... winxp still runs nicely inside, although i rarely use it :-) | 05:44 |
| Paco_Paco | yeah | 05:45 |
| Paco_Paco | i run on a single core | 05:45 |
| Slartibartfast | OK | 05:45 |
| Paco_Paco | if i had a double core i wouldnt mind either :) | 05:45 |
| Slartibartfast | But to my knowledge: virtualbox is quiet nice in virtualizing things | 05:46 |
| Slartibartfast | and on linux i not have the same problems in compiling the kernel module like i have with vmware | 05:47 |
| yao_ziyuan | !cls | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cls | 05:47 |
| yao_ziyuan | what is cls in linux? | 05:47 |
| yao_ziyuan | clear. | 05:47 |
| Paco_Paco | yeah Slartibartfast i have to compile that again after each kernel update | 05:50 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco with virtualbox i can just add a repostory in linux .... when there is then a new version i will get the update when i upgrade my system | 05:51 |
| Slartibartfast | See http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 05:53 |
| Slartibartfast | with the upgrade of virtualbox there compiling of a new kernel module gets done automatically | 05:54 |
| Slartibartfast | s/there/the/ | 05:54 |
| stick_jockey | Hello, i have installed kde 4.2 from the backports and i love it, the only problem is that the widgets do not stay in one place when i move them in the desktop, they slither back to the left hand corner when i finish moving them, is there a option to prevent it from auto moving them like this | 05:58 |
| j2 | Hello | 06:00 |
| j2 | anyone awake now? | 06:00 |
| j2 | Is there a way to do alt+ctrl+bkspc from the command line? | 06:01 |
| inanimate | killall X? | 06:02 |
| j2 | Hmm | 06:02 |
| j2 | I tried that | 06:02 |
| inanimate | killall -s 9 X? | 06:02 |
| j2 | X died but I still cannot login | 06:02 |
| inanimate | startx afterward to respawn it. | 06:03 |
| Slartibartfast | killall Xorg | 06:03 |
| j2 | The screen is frozen with the last image that X had | 06:03 |
| j2 | Slartibartfast: it would be X | 06:03 |
| Slartibartfast | X: no process killed | 06:04 |
| Paco_Paco | Slartibartfast, can i install xfce on kubuntu? | 06:04 |
| inanimate | If you run top, what state is X in? | 06:04 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco Yes | 06:04 |
| Paco_Paco | apt-get install xfce <-- like that? | 06:04 |
| j2 | it is taking up 99% of the CPU | 06:04 |
| inanimate | Is it in D? | 06:04 |
| j2 | Paco_Paco: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 06:05 |
| Slartibartfast | eeeeh ... maybe betetr the whole xubuntu desktop | 06:05 |
| j2 | inanimate: In D ? | 06:05 |
| inanimate | j2: Under "S", what does it say? | 06:06 |
| j2 | R | 06:06 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 06:06 |
| j2 | If I try to do anything like /etc/init.d/kdm stop X is taking up so much CPU it can:t respond | 06:06 |
| inanimate | Hmm... | 06:06 |
| Paco_Paco | j2 ty | 06:07 |
| Slartibartfast | j2 and you can't kill it with top? | 06:07 |
| j2 | Nope | 06:07 |
| j2 | Screw it | 06:07 |
| j2 | I:ll just power off the machine | 06:07 |
| inanimate | Get the PID, and run sudo kill -s 9 PID just to make sure. | 06:07 |
| j2 | inanimate: I did | 06:08 |
| inanimate | If it's in state R, it *should* die. | 06:08 |
| Paco_Paco | and ty Slartibartfast | 06:08 |
| j2 | brb | 06:08 |
| Slartibartfast | no problem Paco_Paco | 06:08 |
| inanimate | I wonder why some processes are so ill-behaved. It's like their mother never taught them any manners... | 06:09 |
| Paco_Paco | what should i pick gdm or kdm? | 06:09 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: anything you like ..... they both work well i think | 06:09 |
| Paco_Paco | which is recommend? | 06:09 |
| Paco_Paco | recommended* | 06:09 |
| inanimate | Here in the Kubuntu channel, KDM is the popular one... | 06:09 |
| Paco_Paco | kdm uses less resources? | 06:10 |
| Slartibartfast | gdm is the gnome desktop manager ... | 06:10 |
| Paco_Paco | ok i used kdm :) | 06:10 |
| * inanimate adds a tally to the wall... | 06:10 | |
| jessie | yes. and, in my opinion, kdm is a little more customizable | 06:12 |

| DaSkreech | Like irrationally | 06:16 |
| DaSkreech | hi gnomefreak | 06:16 |
| Paco_Paco | DaSkreech so were you ever saved by the bell? | 06:17 |
| DaSkreech | What can I say | 06:17 |
| DaSkreech | For whom the bell tolls... | 06:17 |
| Paco_Paco | sweet | 06:17 |
| gnomefreak | hi DaSkreech | 06:21 |
| john_ | !cd | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cd | 06:24 |
| john_ | DaSkreech: I'm still having the same issues on the desktop with the internet connection and the freezing. Oh well, all in due time. | 06:24 |
| john_ | How do I get an audio CD to play? | 06:25 |
| jessie | john_: use kcd or amarok | 06:25 |
| john_ | jessie: It doesn't recognize the CD in the drive | 06:25 |
| jessie | john_: does it recognize other cd's? | 06:26 |
| john_ | It will play in a CD player, but not on the desktop. The drive will also pick up on the DVDs, but not a single CD which has been trialed. | 06:26 |
| Paco_Paco | Does kubuntu have samba shares? | 06:26 |
| jessie | john_: hm..... so if you put a cd such as microsoft office, etc. in the drive, does it find that? | 06:27 |
| john_ | good question, let me see. | 06:27 |
| john_ | Yes. It sees my MS Office 2k3 cd | 06:28 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: if you install samba , yes | 06:28 |
| john_ | jessie: What would cause data cd to read but not audio CD? | 06:30 |
| Paco_Paco | sudo apt-get install samba ? | 06:30 |
| jschall | does the current version of konqueror support using mouse button4/button5 for forward/back? (not looking for an xvkbd solution) | 06:30 |

| === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| jessie | john_: umm.... i don't know. that's a hard thing to say | 06:31 |
| john_ | OK. Thanks for the help, jessie | 06:31 |
| jessie | Yup, sure thing john_. Use google now. ;) | 06:32 |
| john_ | I have been using google to no avail :( | 06:32 |
| DaSkreech | john_: does audiocd:/ in konqueror show anything ? | 06:32 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco yes | 06:32 |
| DaSkreech | inanimate: Yeah sucks | 06:32 |
| DaSkreech | inanimate:X | 06:33 |
| inanimate | Yeah... You know it... | 06:33 |
| Paco_Paco | Slartibartfast so how do i samba share a folder after i have installed samba? | 06:33 |
| john_ | DaSkreech: Nope. Nothing. | 06:33 |
| inanimate | Although multi-monitor actually almost works well now. | 06:33 |
| inanimate | With xrandr + KDE's nice config. | 06:34 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: by editing /etc/samba/smb.conf ..... it is a well documented conf file | 06:34 |
| Paco_Paco | so i cant right click a folder and choose for sharing options like in gnome? | 06:34 |
| Paco_Paco | :/ | 06:34 |
| inanimate | Paco_Paco: Actually, you used to be able to... | 06:34 |
| Slartibartfast | after editing .... sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 06:34 |
| Slartibartfast | not that i know of Paco_Paco | 06:35 |
| inanimate | Paco_Paco: Right click folder > Share | 06:36 |
| Paco_Paco | yeah | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | john_: That's kinda strange | 06:36 |
| inanimate | Although I'm not sure if you can actually "Configure file sharing..." | 06:37 |
| inanimate | I clicked on it but nothing has happened yet... | 06:37 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: right click folder > properties > share ? | 06:38 |
| john_ | DaSkreech: I cannot mount it either. 'block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only. You must specify the filesystem type' | 06:38 |
| === pteague is now known as pteague_laptop | ||
| inanimate | It's possible that file sharing needs to be re-implemented in KDE 4. (It was definitely there in KDE 3). Can I get a confirmation on that? | 06:38 |
| DaSkreech | Well I can't think of how you would mount an audiocd | 06:38 |
| === pteague_laptop is now known as pteague | ||
| john_ | Good point | 06:39 |
| BentFranklin | Is there a log file for apt or adept where I can see what has all been done lately? | 06:39 |
| === pteague is now known as pteague_laptop | ||
| pteague_laptop | BentFranklin: not sure about adept, but aptitude has a log file under /var/log/ | 06:40 |
| inanimate | BentFranklin: /var/log/apt/term.log | 06:40 |
| inanimate | That is the apt log. | 06:40 |
| inanimate | Which every frontend uses. | 06:40 |
| DaSkreech | john_: ok just put in an audio cd and audiocd:/ works fine in Konqueror for me | 06:41 |
| BentFranklin | thansk | 06:42 |

| DaSkreech | john_: It did make Konqueror bug out though | 06:43 |
| john_ | failed here :( | 06:44 |
| inanimate | Paco_Paco: If you install kdenetwork-filesharing, you're good to go. | 06:44 |
| john_ | DaSkreech: I'm cutting out. Too many kubuntu issues for the past 3 weeks. I'll be back on Thursday for more resolutions | 06:45 |
| john_ | G'night all | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | NIght | 06:46 |
| pteague_laptop | which of the ssh-askpass packages is suggested for kde? | 06:51 |
| Paco_Paco | is there a gui for samba? | 06:52 |
| Paco_Paco | i have no idea what to do with smb.conf | 06:52 |
| BentFranklin | This afternoon I installed a couple of games using Adept. Of course I forgot their exact names, and they don't show up in the K start menu, and the apt logs don't log adept actions apparently. | 06:52 |
| BentFranklin | Paco - read the samba manual... One sec I'll find it. | 06:54 |
| Paco_Paco | k ty BentFranklin | 06:54 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: They do | 06:55 |
| BentFranklin | DaSkreech: My term.log 's last entry is Feb 2 and I installed 142 updates and 2 new packages today | 06:57 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: ..... smb.conf is ordered in several sections .... | 06:57 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: dpkg.log | 06:57 |
| BentFranklin | that's the ticket, thanks | 06:58 |
| BentFranklin | Paco: still looking | 06:58 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: for the shares you need to make some addictions in the #==== Share Definitions ============ | 06:58 |
| BentFranklin | http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ | 06:59 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco if you want to see the server in windows .. you need to be in the same workgroup ... thats defined in the global section at the top | 06:59 |
| BentFranklin | That doc tells you how to see Linux shares using Windows. To see Windows shares with Linux use mount.cifs | 07:00 |
| BentFranklin | Once you get mount.cifs working manually, put an entry in /etc/fstab | 07:00 |
| Paco_Paco | k ty BentFranklin and Slartibartfast | 07:09 |
| Paco_Paco | how do i open smb.conf with write permission? | 07:09 |
| Slartibartfast | use sudo | 07:10 |
| BentFranklin | you could sudo chmod it or sudo your editor | 07:10 |
| Slartibartfast | don't know which editor you use | 07:10 |
| Paco_Paco | kate | 07:10 |
| BentFranklin | In a couple of months, check out emacs | 07:11 |
| Paco_Paco | so how do i do both open kate with write permission and open smb.conf via the commandline? | 07:11 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco use kdesudo kate | 07:13 |
| Slartibartfast | open file ... | 07:13 |
| Paco_Paco | ok ty | 07:15 |
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: if in console you can also try nano ..... "sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf" | 07:17 |
| Paco_Paco | ok thanks :) | 07:21 |
| Paco_Paco | how do i launch the widgets from the commandline? | 07:40 |
| === zero__ is now known as henrikz | ||
| Slartibartfast | Paco_Paco: widgets for on the desktop? . like the plasmoids ? | 07:45 |
| pteague_laptop | i'm thinking i need to clean out my grub menu.lst ... lots of kernel entries ;) | 07:47 |
| Slartibartfast | pteague_laptop: ddi you also already delete the old kernels ? | 07:48 |
| Slartibartfast | s/ddi/did/ | 07:48 |
| Slartibartfast | because this will probably already get rid of the old kernel entries in the menu.lst | 07:49 |
| anil__ | hi...is there a way to restore the app switcher(taskber) settings to defaults in kde 4 | 07:49 |
| maco | anil__: the whole panel or just the task manager part? | 07:50 |
| anil__ | the entire panel | 07:50 |
| maco | um well i can tell you how to force all your plasma stuff to go back to default at once | 07:51 |
| anil__ | ok...guess that works | 07:52 |
| DaSkreech | anil__: the defaults when KDE4 came? | 07:52 |
| maco | if you login in a terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and delete ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc then log back into kde, itll regenerate it as the defaults | 07:52 |
| anil__ | should i terminate the x server to do this?? | 07:53 |
| pteague_laptop | Slartibartfast: not sure, i need to go through the list of them to see... some may already be removed & then there's the 32-bit kernel that i'm not using anymore on a diff partition | 07:54 |
| Slartibartfast | pteague_laptop: you can check with "dpkg -l linux*" . or just "ls -l /boot/" | 07:56 |
| pteague_laptop | Slartibartfast: nope, haven't removed them yet... do i need to remove the associated linux-headers package or the linux-image ? | 08:03 |
| Slartibartfast | the image is the kernel ... which you see in /boot/ | 08:04 |
| Slartibartfast | so if you do sudo apt-get --purge linux-image-xxx linux-header-xxx ...... etc ... i think your new generated menu.lst will have much lesser entries | 08:05 |

| silleme | not familiar with linux compression utilities... what util for unrar an archived file??? | 08:20 |
| Slartibartfast | unrar x archive.rar | 08:20 |
| Slartibartfast | or use ark | 08:20 |
| Slartibartfast | silleme maybe you need to install unrar first | 08:22 |
| LinkCanabico | hi the kmenu in my user acount has no Home (personal files) icon. in the root acount everything is ok any idea how to enable it ? i know it sounds silly but im realy used to it and i would like to enable it (not add it manualy since then it tends to move to the alfabeticaly right place when i update) | 08:22 |
| silleme | Slartibartfast: have ARK installed but gives error mssg utility unrar is not in your path.... maybe should instal unrar? | 08:23 |
| Slartibartfast | yes | 08:24 |
| Slartibartfast | but don't know if you have the right repostory enabled | 08:24 |
| Slartibartfast | it is in the Section: multiverse/utils | 08:25 |
| pteague_laptop | i really don't like the fact that the default ctrl+pgup ctrl+pgdn in konsole is counter-intuitive | 08:25 |
| Slartibartfast | instead use shift :-) if you want to do pgup | 08:26 |
| Slartibartfast | here ctrl pgup goes from tab1 to tab2 to tab3 .... etc ... sounds ok to me | 08:28 |
| pteague_laptop | i just have to remember to set the alternative for 1 to none before changing them | 08:28 |
| === moo is now known as Guest24431 | ||
| Slartibartfast | pteague_laptop: what alternative ? | 08:29 |
| pteague_laptop | yeah & that's counter what every other program *i've used* that uses ctrl+pgup/pgdn for switching tabs uses | 08:29 |
| pteague_laptop | the keyboard shortcut alternative... the default is shift+left/right, the alternative is the ctrl+pgup/pgdown | 08:30 |
| Slartibartfast | i see .... firefox does do it just the otherway arround | 08:30 |
| wartalker | someone know how to support chinese input in firefox | 08:30 |
| pteague_laptop | Slartibartfast: hehe, that's my point :) | 08:31 |
| Slartibartfast | pteague_laptop: in konversation i need to use alt right or left between the tabs | 08:31 |
| pteague_laptop | it's just a default & can be changed... but to somebody who barely knows they use windows switches to linux... | 08:31 |
| pteague_laptop | i use xchat & again it's ctrl+pgup/pgdown | 08:32 |
| pteague_laptop | then again... if a person barely knows they're using windows switches to linux... i'm guessing they really don't have a clue what the keyboard shortcut is anyways <.< | 08:33 |
| Slartibartfast | hmmm .... but it's not really a big deal for me | 08:33 |
| Slartibartfast | many keyboard shortcuts people only learn after having use a program for several time | 08:33 |
| Slartibartfast | wartalker: need to install scim | 08:34 |
| Slartibartfast | and a bunch of other packages .... not really know which will do the trick .... but at least also im-switch | 08:35 |
| wartalker | i install scim, it doen not work in firefox | 08:35 |
| pteague_laptop | that's why i tend to try to make keyboard shortcuts as consistent as possible across apps... everybody *should* at least know ctrl+x/c/v & shift+del/ins | 08:35 |
| Slartibartfast | wartalker: but work in other programs ? | 08:35 |
| pteague_laptop | doesn't firefox have locale packages? | 08:37 |
| Slartibartfast | they have but not needed to input chinese ...... only to display chinese in the menu's | 08:37 |
| pteague_laptop | wow, i think i'm going to have to use my new game box dual-boot to get used to the new kde | 08:38 |
| Slartibartfast | kde 4.1 or kde 4.2 ? | 08:38 |
| pteague_laptop | i still have hardy on my desktop | 08:39 |
| pteague_laptop | so guess i'm using kde3 still | 08:39 |

| pteague_laptop | geeze... is it really so hard to alphabetize menu entries? oh, i know kde likes alphabetizing based off the description & not the name, but geeze... when i'm looking for something starting with z i look at the bottom | 08:43 |
| === Guest24431 is now known as hannascott_NA | ||
| pteague_laptop | is there anyway to get the bottom panel to go to the top? | 08:49 |
| === hannascott_NA is now known as hannascott | ||
| pteague_laptop | or do i have to create a new top panel & then recreate everything on it? | 08:49 |
| Slartibartfast | pteague_laptop in kde 4 ? | 08:51 |
| Slartibartfast | in kde 3 you can configure desktop and choose there where the kicker panel should be placed | 08:53 |
| pteague_laptop | kde3 i'm pretty used to... i'm messing around with intrepid on my lan party box & have yet to touch kde4 until today | 08:56 |
| pteague_laptop | i figured out i have to go into panel properties before being able to drag the panel somewhere | 08:56 |
| pteague_laptop | is there something similar to quick launch in kde4 or do i have to use the bloody kmenu for it? | 08:56 |
| Slartibartfast | in kde 4 you can press the "thing" at the most right pf the panel and you can configure the panel like draging it to the top .... | 08:57 |
| BentFranklin | What does shift+del/ins do? | 08:58 |
| Slartibartfast | pteague_laptop: there is also a quicklaunch applet/plasmoid | 08:58 |
| Slartibartfast | BentFranklin: guess that is app specific .... | 08:59 |
| pteague_laptop | on windows at least, shift+del is cut & shift+ins is paste... & they typically work even when ctrl+x/c/v is specifically disabled | 09:04 |
| === gregory is now known as gregory__ | ||
| pteague_laptop | & it seems to work in some standard text boxes in linux guis | 09:05 |
| pteague_laptop | what's the quicklaunch plasmoid in kde4? or do i need to install an extra package to get it? | 09:05 |
| Slartibartfast | just testing with kate ..... and there shft del indeed cuts and shft ins pastes | 09:07 |
| Slartibartfast | just tested this quick lanch applet ..... but here in Jaunty it did not rellly work great :-) | 09:08 |
| Slartibartfast | i would say pretty bad, th icons just don't scale very well | 09:08 |
| Slartibartfast | but you always can add programs from your applications tab in your new kmenu to the favorites tab | 09:09 |
| pteague_laptop | i really don't care how they look... i just want a launcher for simple 1 click launching of apps i use all the time | 09:09 |
| Slartibartfast | also: on the desktop you can add the folder view applet and add application.desktop files from /usr/share/applications ...... or add the lancelot plasmoid .. but yes .. then need to click 2 times again .... it keeps problematic | 09:11 |
| pteague_laptop | is there a way to disable things from the konsole right click menu? i want to turn off or assign close tab a different hot key | 09:12 |

| heinkel_111 | Hi, after the latest upgrade of a lot of kde stuff including libplasma2 I have the following serious problem: on login, plasma fails, produces no useable backtrace, and leaves me without a desktop that works. KDE is effectively broken, except for the screensaver! | 09:32 |
| Dillizar | i dont have sound when i play for ex amarok say that my sound card i busy | 09:33 |
| heinkel_111 | anyone else heard about simialr stuff | 09:33 |
| heinkel_111 | Dillzar> what sound system are you using? alsa or oss? | 09:35 |
| heinkel_111 | alsa is standard with kubuntu 8.10 afaik | 09:35 |
| besitzer_ | i have to go we hear us later | 09:36 |
| jschall | i'm trying to get flash working in konqueror, on 64bit kubuntu. so far i installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and scanned for plugins in konqueror's plugin config, it found flash, but flash objects aren't really showing up. so, for example, youtube videos are solid black. | 09:36 |
| Dillizar | heinkel_111, alsa | 09:36 |
| heinkel_111 | Dillizar: ok, if you had been using oss that is not particularily good when multiple programs are trying to use your sound device simultaneously. This does not appear to be your problem (unfortunately, it does not soleve it, either :-( | 09:38 |
| Dillizar | hmm | 09:39 |
| Dillizar | how can i check what i am using ?? | 09:39 |

| Dillizar | yes | 09:41 |

| jschall | konqueror seems to load the flash player, but the flash player doesn't seem to work in konqueror... | 09:41 |

| heinkel_111 | Dillizar: are you able to play sounds with another program? I often test using alsaplayer | 09:42 |
| heinkel_111 | if alsaplayer works I think it is a xine related problem | 09:43 |

| Mamarok | well, then you really should update to 4.2 | 10:36 |
| Mamarok | hm, you have to if you want 4.2 though | 10:37 |
| heinkel_111 | Mamarok: my first priority is a stable system, like one with a desktop environment that works. Right now because plasma crashes on every login, I don't have that | 10:38 |

| pteague_laptop | ah, ok... was going through a list of things to install & was checking via aptitude... hadn't needed to open a pdf yet ;) | 11:50 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu_: have you tried asking in #ubuntu ? | 11:51 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: as a matter of principle I don't enable backports as I have seen in past years that I tend to get an increasingly unstable system before the next release | 11:51 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: however in this case it may be justified, to solve a specific problem | 11:52 |
| mefisto__ | heinkel_111: try keeping an eye on the ugrades, if you see anything not kde-related, don't install them | 11:53 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: is there anyway I can just get the kde 4.2 upgrade out of backports, not all the other stuff, and do this without breaking compatibility of all the other programs I have installed? | 11:53 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: if I enable backports and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade I will get a loooong list of stuff to be upgraded | 11:54 |
| pteague_laptop | kdiff3 is no longer available? :( | 11:56 |
| mefisto__ | heinkel_111: there used to be a ppa of the kde 4.2 upgraded packages, but I don't think it's being maintained any more. the packages (I think) are older versions than what's in backports and may not work properly | 11:57 |
| mefisto__ | heinkel_111: you could try adding this to your sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main | 12:01 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: you say that kde 4.2 *probably* will fix the problem, are there any improvements to dual-head displays for plasma in 4.2? | 12:01 |
| heinkel_111 | if there are no particular improvements, it is not likely that the problem is fixed, is it? | 12:02 |
| mefisto__ | I'm not really sure heinkel_111. but I doubt you will find a solution that did not involve upgrading to 4.2 anyway | 12:03 |
| pteague_laptop | does kompare have 3-way diff? | 12:04 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: I think I'll rather do backports than the experimental ppa, more likely to get the best quality and 9.04 is only 2 months away....if my system stability is affected | 12:04 |
| * heinkel_111 upgrades, so help him o powers that kde! | 12:06 | |
| heinkel_111 | anyone knows why gwenview is held back when updating to kde 4.2 using intrepid-backports repository? | 12:17 |
| Mamarok | heinkel_111: I think it tries to overwrite an already existing folder | 12:18 |

| shadeslayer | ok | 12:33 |
| pteague_laptop | that makes it available for use... it's not really a program that you can run from the kmenu, but it displays in 1 of the panels | 12:33 |

| pteague_laptop | what exactly are you trying to show? | 12:36 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: although it is not an improvement over 4.1, it brought back the old status | 12:36 |
| heinkel_111 | one desktop applet for each screen | 12:37 |
| mefisto__ | heinkel_111: old status? | 12:37 |
| heinkel_111 | no stretch desktop across both screens | 12:37 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: ^ | 12:37 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: in kde 3.5 the wallpaper could be 3200x1200 extended across both of the screens | 12:38 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: i wish this could be possible in kde 4.x too :( | 12:40 |
| heinkel_111 | but it is a lot better to have a desktop than not to have a desktop | 12:40 |
| shadeslayer | pteague_laptop: i cannot install http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+System+Monitor?content=86664 | 12:40 |
| shadeslayer | how do i install?? | 12:41 |
| shadeslayer | the instructrions do not suffice | 12:41 |
| pteague_laptop | shadeslayer: ok, you'll need to use a package manager to install hddtemp & lm_sensors ... download the plasmoid binary (maybe to your desktop?) from that website & then follow the install instructions | 12:46 |
| pteague_laptop | geeze... took me a while to figure out how to download that | 12:46 |
| shadeslayer | ive installed both | 12:46 |
| shadeslayer | but when i add it i cannot see the binary | 12:46 |
| shadeslayer | i followed the instructions exactly | 12:47 |
| pteague_laptop | ah, ok... at that point i believe it just adds it to what you can add to the panel maybe? & then right click on panel & add widget? | 12:47 |
| pteague_laptop | hmm... | 12:47 |
| shadeslayer | no no | 12:48 |
| shadeslayer | i download the .skg file | 12:48 |
| shadeslayer | and try to add it | 12:48 |
| shadeslayer | but i dont see it | 12:48 |
| shadeslayer | do i have to compile it or something?? | 12:48 |
| shadeslayer | installing package failed | 12:49 |
| pteague_laptop | install from file -> a window pops up & has 2 choices - plasmoid or dashboard... believe you need to select plasmoid, then that should give you a browse window | 12:49 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 12:50 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 12:51 |
| === n is now known as Guest63680 | ||
| shadeslayer | then i select the .skz file | 12:51 |
| shadeslayer | on my desktop | 12:51 |
| shadeslayer | and then it says installing package failed | 12:51 |
| thehook | hi :) can anyone please give me a short intro to akonadi? im brand new to the kde | 12:53 |
| shadeslayer | !akonadi>thehook | 12:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about akonadi | 12:53 |
| shadeslayer | !akonadi | 12:53 |
| pteague_laptop | from a terminal type sensors & see if that gives you anything | 12:54 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 12:54 |
| shadeslayer | it gave me temps | 12:54 |
| shadeslayer | i have lm-sensors installed | 12:55 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 12:55 |
| pteague_laptop | do you have the hddtemp daemon running? | 12:56 |
| shadeslayer | pteague_laptop: did you get it working | 12:56 |
| shadeslayer | nope | 12:56 |
| shadeslayer | how do i run it | 12:56 |
| pteague_laptop | nope, i've got a huge install i'm currently doing & don't have hddtemp or lm-sensors in it | 12:56 |
| pteague_laptop | when you installed hddtemp it should have asked if you wanted to run the daemon on startup | 12:57 |
| shadeslayer | yeah it started them | 12:58 |
| pteague_laptop | try running `nc localhost 7634` | 12:59 |
| pteague_laptop | & see if it shows anything | 12:59 |
| shadeslayer | |/dev/sg0|WDC WD3200BEVT-75ZCT2|42|C||/dev/sda|WDC WD3200BEVT-75ZCT2|42|C| | 13:00 |
| pteague_laptop | ok, that's working... hmm... | 13:00 |
| pteague_laptop | ok, clicking that 'plasmoid binary' link sent me to another page instead of allowing me to download it... so i still don't know where to download it | 13:05 |
| shadeslayer | http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+System+Monitor?content=86664 | 13:07 |
| shadeslayer | download link at the bottom of description | 13:07 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 13:07 |
| shadeslayer | everybody @ #kde wants it now :P | 13:08 |
| Redleer | finally sounds works on my acer aspire 8930g :D | 13:09 |
| shadeslayer | Redleer: restart?? | 13:10 |
| Redleer | shadeslayer: why would i need restart after getting sounds working? hehe | 13:11 |
| heinkel_111 | mefisto__: fyi, from changelog kde 4.2 : Multi-screen support has been improved through the Kephal library, fixing many bugs when running KDE on more than one monitor | 13:11 |
| heinkel_111 | ^ I was hoping for more positive results from the than what I have seen so far | 13:12 |
| shadeslayer | Redleer: no i mean,did you restart kubuntu to get it workind | 13:12 |
| shadeslayer | *g | 13:12 |
| pteague_laptop | shadeslayer: cat that skz file or open it in a text editor... i'm looking at what it downloaded for me & it says "Not found" | 13:12 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 13:13 |
| Redleer | shadeslayer: upgraded alsa and got hda-verb after that restart and sounds worked | 13:13 |
| shadeslayer | #kde thinks its superkaramba | 13:13 |
| shadeslayer | oh ok | 13:13 |
| shadeslayer | it opens in ark | 13:14 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 13:14 |
| * heinkel_111 brb reboot needed | 13:14 | |
| klaus | hi everybody, anybody got experience with SIS M672 graphic? | 13:14 |
| shadeslayer | pteague_laptop: opened in ark | 13:14 |
| pteague_laptop | if your in a term, use cat on it, or open kate & open the file... | 13:14 |
| pteague_laptop | see what it says | 13:14 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 13:14 |
| pteague_laptop | if it says something about binary then it should be ok | 13:14 |
| shadeslayer | weird symbols | 13:15 |
| pteague_laptop | in which case i'm not sure why i got a plain text file simply stating "Not found".... & i can't help anymore... i'm fairly new to the whole kde4 thing | 13:15 |
| pteague_laptop | k, weird symbols should be binary then | 13:15 |

| shadeslayer | :O | 13:15 |
| shadeslayer | oh crap | 13:15 |
| shadeslayer | sorry for that | 13:15 |
| shadeslayer | i was pasting it | 13:16 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 13:16 |
| shadeslayer | pteague_laptop: next step ?? | 13:16 |
| pteague_laptop | yep, that's binary so at least you got it | 13:16 |
| shadeslayer | hehe | 13:16 |
| pteague_laptop | no idea why i can't get it | 13:16 |
| shadeslayer | wait ill send you the download link | 13:17 |
| pteague_laptop | i found it on that page after you said it was at the bottom of the description | 13:17 |
| shadeslayer | http://kde-look.org/content/download.php?content=86664&id=1&tan=47348040 | 13:17 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 13:17 |
| shadeslayer | try downloading that | 13:18 |
| pteague_laptop | it immediately finished downloading for me so i got suspicious & opened it with cat at which point i got the very useful message | 13:18 |
| pteague_laptop | oh wait, i think that tan is different | 13:18 |
| shadeslayer | tan?? | 13:18 |
| pteague_laptop | the link i had ended with &tan=72053474 | 13:19 |
| shadeslayer | they got it to work | 13:19 |
| Redleer | im not getting it to work either | 13:20 |
| shadeslayer | its superkaramba | 13:20 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 13:20 |
| pteague_laptop | ok, i got something other than "Not found", but it's just an html page >.< | 13:21 |
| shadeslayer | haha | 13:21 |
| shadeslayer | how to reload plasma?? | 13:22 |
| shadeslayer | !plasma | 13:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about plasma | 13:22 |
| pteague_laptop | !plasmoid | 13:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about plasmoid | 13:22 |
| shadeslayer | :P | 13:22 |
| pteague_laptop | not sure, maybe log out & log back in? | 13:22 |
| pteague_laptop | !widget | 13:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about widget | 13:22 |
| shadeslayer | hmm | 13:22 |
| shadeslayer | brb then | 13:23 |
| dr_Willis | Hmm. | 13:27 |
| mefisto__ | shadeslayer: alt-F2, then type plasma | 13:28 |
| SandGorgon | does kubuntu 8.0.4.2 have KDE 4.2 - any kubuntu install cds with KDE 4.2 for that matter ? | 13:29 |
| pteague_laptop | aha, finally figured out why that game was crashing X... dsound error... >.< | 13:29 |
| shadeslayer | pteague_laptop: got it to work | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 13:30 |
| pteague_laptop | afaik hardy only has kde3 on CD, but allows you to download -kde4 packages, not sure whether that's 4.1, 4.2 or whatnot | 13:31 |
| shadeslayer | oy oy oy | 13:31 |
| giarca | anyone know is there a plasmoid for kde4.2 to have the output of a program show like folder view? | 13:31 |
| giarca | I would have xconsole bond to the desktop | 13:31 |
| giarca | not a window itself | 13:31 |
| SandGorgon | pteague_laptop: any installer cd with 4.2 - I want to give it my non-computer savvy cousin to install | 13:31 |
| dr_Willis | You mean you wish to have text logging to onto a window on the desktop? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | giarca: you could run yakuake | 13:32 |
| pteague_laptop | intrepid has 4, but i don't know what version of 4 | 13:32 |
| heinkel_111 | hmm where did the appearance settings disappear to in kde 4.2 ?? huh? | 13:32 |
| giarca | dr_Willis: not exactly | 13:32 |
| giarca | try to explain better | 13:32 |
| giarca | the command xconsole give me a window I can resize or dock | 13:32 |
| giarca | I would tranfsorm that window in something like the kde's widget "folder view" | 13:33 |
| pteague_laptop | heinkel_111: i *think* it's the same as kmenu -> system -> system settings -> desktop ? | 13:33 |
| giarca | a sort of window rock solid on the desktop | 13:33 |
| pteague_laptop | or ...system settings -> appearance | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | giarca: why not use yakuake and then you can have it going in and out of view with a hotkey | 13:34 |
| heinkel_111 | pteague_laptop: thank you, I found it now. my K-menu suddenly had several "settings" elements added at the top level beneath favorites and those folders did not contain anything | 13:35 |
| giarca | ActionParsnip: xconsole is not konsolo or xterm o gnome-terminal | 13:35 |
| pteague_laptop | hehe | 13:35 |
| giarca | :) | 13:35 |
| giarca | yakuake I know and don't fit my need :) | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xconsole | 13:35 |
| ubottu | Package xconsole does not exist in intrepid | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !xconsole | 13:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xconsole | 13:35 |
| giarca | try run in your kubuntu the command xconsole | 13:36 |
| giarca | is something like a tail of dmesg in console | 13:36 |
| pteague_laptop | i want my quick launcher :( | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pteague_laptop: sudo apt-get install --reinstall krunner | 13:36 |
| pteague_laptop | couldn't find package krunner | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | giarca: xconsole just gives me a white box with a cursor and it just beeps when i press any key (I use fluxbox) | 13:38 |
| giarca | try to open xterm or whatever and sudo su | 13:38 |
| giarca | logging some system operation | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | youu shouldnt sudo su | 13:38 |
| dr_Willis | do not use 'sudo su' use sudo -s or sudo -i | 13:38 |
| dr_Willis | :) | 13:38 |
| giarca | LOL | 13:38 |
| dr_Willis | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 13:38 |
| giarca | it's for use | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | giarca: sudo su doesnt setup the environment correctly, just like sudo kate doesnt set up the environment correctly | 13:39 |
| olskolirc | I'm on Intrepid with Kde 4.2 stable and my pvr is only playing static for some reason in vlc with my Hauppague PVR card...any help? | 13:39 |
| giarca | it's to see what xconsole log | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sudo -i (interactive is much better) | 13:39 |
| giarca | ActionParsnip: yeah | 13:39 |
| pteague_laptop | i think the only reason giarca made the comment to `sudo su` was because it will specifically dump something to xconsole... not that you should sudo su & then do something else as root | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | i see so its like a console logging thingy | 13:40 |
| giarca | pteague_laptop: yeah, it's the first command sure log something | 13:40 |
| giarca | ActionParsnip: yeah, but it log shclient also | 13:41 |
| giarca | and wnat to put them iptables too | 13:41 |
| giarca | but if I can't put xconsole in plasmoid like on desktop | 13:41 |
| giarca | it's not usable a windows open constantly... | 13:42 |
| pteague_laptop | isn't there even a launcher plasmoid where i'd have to specify each app i wanted to add to the panel? or some way to drag & drop apps from kmenu to panel? this is nuts :( | 13:42 |
| === allaoua is now known as _gpg_ | ||
| giarca | pteague_laptop: launcher palsmoid can't do what I'm asking for... | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | pteague_laptop: you can use the quick view panel like that | 13:44 |
| giarca | I don't know if exist something for what I'm asking... | 13:44 |
| giarca | ah... it wasn't for me.. :P | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | pteague_laptop: create a folder full of .desktop files and then use the folder view plasmoid to show that folder | 13:45 |
| pteague_laptop | giarca: sorry, o | 13:45 |
| pteague_laptop | er, i'm wanting a quicklaunch applet :) | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | pteague_laptop: you will then have a plasmoid full of launchers | 13:45 |
| tom__ | Can people ask questions here? | 13:45 |
| pteague_laptop | no, nobody can ask questions here... it's why we're being quiet :) | 13:46 |

| giarca | FILE WATCHER plasmoid and then configure the log file I want to have on desktop | 13:47 |

| ActionParsnip | legodude: copy the data from your backup | 13:55 |

| pteague_laptop | aha! i found a quicklauncher applet on that kde-look.org site | 13:55 |

| tom__ | ActionParsnip: Well, the program works/I can use it but I just don't know how to get it working properly | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: thats where you got me | 13:56 |
| drostie | legodude: [sudo cp -a ~/* /media/usbkey/folder] to get it onto a usb key, then [sudo cp -a /media/usbkey/folder/* ~] to get it back. | 13:56 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: I need to make a target or something, and I have no idea what to do | 13:56 |
| drostie | Although, that might be bad if the user ids change, I don't know. (maybe don't sudo or -a the second part?) | 13:57 |
| drostie | blah, chat lag --_--;; | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: ive always just made a simple .cpp file then compiled it with: gcc source.cpp (exemple) which will produce the binary a.out | 13:57 |

| shadeslayer | hi kubuntu is running uber slow,anything i can do | 13:58 |
| shadeslayer | gnome and XFCE run fine | 13:58 |
| drostie | shadeslayer: give it swap, make sure your video card drivers are installed, and make sure you have copious quantities of RAM. | 13:58 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: So what do you recommend? Not using KDevelop and using something else? | 13:58 |
| shadeslayer | drostie: 3GB ram,3.5GB swap,177 drivers | 13:59 |
| drostie | Other than that, check the process lists to figure out whether anything's eating CPU time. | 13:59 |

| ActionParsnip | legodude: dpkg -l | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | legodude: you may want to use: dpkg -l | less | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | legodude: makes it readable | 14:10 |
| legodude | dpkg -l > installed_pkgs actually :) | 14:10 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: Thanks, but how do I know what the port is? | 14:10 |
| legodude | outside of my xorg.conf, are there any system files that I should probably be saving? | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: default is 6667 try that | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | legodude: do you use samba? do you have a specialised fstab? | 14:11 |
| legodude | yes (fstab) | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | legodude: have you added aliases to ~/.bashrc | 14:11 |
| legodude | samba never worked right on this system | 14:11 |
| legodude | lots of aliases, which is why I'm saving my whole ~ | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | legodude: you could backup ~/.mozilla and ~/.mozilla-thunderbird if you use them | 14:12 |
| tom__ | connect QuakeNet 6667 | 14:12 |
| tom__ | Pfft | 14:12 |
| tom__ | Things shouldn't be so hard | 14:12 |
| legodude | yes, I need all of the settings from my home folder | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | legodude: ~/.fluxbox/menu /startup /init /keys if you have modified them | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | legodude: the list is endless what you may or may not havve and/or editted | 14:13 |
| pteague_laptop | what's the keyboard shortcut for the kmenu ? | 14:13 |
| legodude | which is why I originally asked about anything special to restore the home folder to account for the config files | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pteague_laptop: you need to set one | 14:13 |
| tom__ | It says "This command is for network staff only" | 14:13 |
| drostie | legodude: if you've modified anything in /etc yourself, or /boot/grub/menu.lst, those can be backed up too. If you've written your own shell/python scripts in /bin, /usr/bin, or /usr/local/bin, you should back them up, too. | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: try it from a non freenode channel | 14:15 |
| lovre | hello | 14:15 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: I have no idea what any of that means :( | 14:15 |
| lovre | i was wondering, i have been using kubuntu for a while now, and i dont know, does it use some kind of firewall by default? | 14:16 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: could you maybe just show what I have to write? | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: currently you are in the channel #kubuntu on freenode server | 14:16 |
| drostie | lovre: the firewall is in the Linux kernel. | 14:16 |
| drostie | !firewall | 14:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 14:16 |
| tom__ | Yes | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: if konversation has a kin of null channel that is on your system, use that | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: in ppidgin I have to create a new account for each server you connect to, im not sure how konversation handles this | 14:16 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: I'm terribly sorry but I just don't know what you're talking about | 14:16 |
| lovre | drostie: wow, thats cool. What about virus protection? I dont think there is need for that? | 14:17 |
| === sinclair_ is now known as sinclair | ||
| ActionParsnip | tom__: yep, looks like you have to add the server to your client | 14:17 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: I'm not at all used to using IRC, so ... | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | i think i'm mixing rooms | 14:17 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: And how do I "add" it ? | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | my bad | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | http://konversation.berlios.de/docs/serverlist.html | 14:18 |
| drostie | lovre: virus protection in Linux is, sadly, chiefly done through three methods: obscurity, keeping your packages up to date with security patches, and the built-in file permissions system. | 14:18 |
| lucas_ | hi | 14:18 |
| sinclair | hi everyone | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | yes you are on irc which is fine, but konversation only knows freenode right now, i think you have to add it so you can use it | 14:18 |
| lucas_ | i cannot raise my resolution to 1280x1024 | 14:18 |
| lucas_ | it is stuck in 1152,864 | 14:19 |
| lucas_ | (default) | 14:19 |
| lovre | drostie: as i understand, there is a little to none possibility of caching a virus, if not doing anything suspicious... | 14:19 |
| drostie | lovre: there aren't enough Linux-targeted viruses to justify the sort of checksum-based on-access testing that you see e.g. on Windows. | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: have you tried adding the res to xorg.conf? | 14:19 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: my xorg.conf doesnt have any information.. only the identificators of the sections | 14:20 |
| lovre | drostie: i see. Another thing, does the built-in firewall allow everything by default? | 14:20 |
| drostie | lovre: that's also more or less true on Windows, too. :-P. The problem is that people often do suspicious things without realizing it. | 14:20 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: so i didn't try yet | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: can you pastebin it please | 14:20 |
| lucas_ | yes | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:21 |
| lovre | drostie: im trying to install guarddog to see what it does. I thought its just a GUI for iptables. I got an error Unable to start guarddog firewall - /etc/rc.firewall does not exist | 14:22 |
| sinclair | best irc client for Kubuntu? Quassel? | 14:22 |
| drostie | lovre: I'd have to look up documentation on guarddog to help you there. | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | sinclair | 14:23 |
| ubottu | sinclair: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:23 |
| drostie | sinclair: Quassel and KVirc are both decent. | 14:23 |
| lovre | drostie: ok, dont bother then | 14:23 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: where can I find what network quakenet is on | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sinclair: best doesnt exist en mass, best is only best to you | 14:23 |
| tuxi | I like Konversation better than Quassel (YMMV) | 14:24 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: http://rafb.net/p/2BvvV240.html | 14:24 |
| drostie | tom__: irc.quakenet.org:6667 | 14:24 |
| lovre | drostie: so does the firewall allow everything by default? | 14:24 |
| drostie | lovre: as far as I know, yes. You might [sudo iptables -L] in a konsole to find out directly, though. | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: irc.quakenet.com is my gues | 14:25 |
| lovre | drostie: ok, thank you for your time | 14:25 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: So I have to fill that in in the "Network" box, right? | 14:25 |
| drostie | sure, no problem. Gotta do something while the laundry is going. ^_^;; | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: wow thats bare, you will need to add some more info like driver and resolution and refresh rates to get a decent display | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: thats the server name | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: port will be 6667 | 14:26 |
| drostie | ActionParsnip, tom__: it's .org, not .com. | 14:26 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: And what will be the network name? | 14:26 |
| tom__ | (Like "Freenode" or something, I need to fill in something there) | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: here's mine: http://pastebin.com/f611d8aac | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | tom__: i think thats just a name for your convenience | 14:27 |
| drostie | tom: the network name is whatever you want it to be. | 14:27 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: yes i know.. but that's the default intrepid xorg.conf.. i though the config was done somewhere else. ty | 14:27 |

| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: yours doesnt work for me.. the kubuntu splash screen doesn't display and i get a console login | 14:29 |
| lucas_ | i think i need to add the resolutions manually.. | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: mine is an nvidia xorg.conf, you need to copy bits out to make yours work | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga | 14:30 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) | 14:31 |
| tom__ | ActionParsnip: It worked! Thanks!!! | 14:31 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: i've just run nvidia-xconfig | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: have you ran: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 | 14:31 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: yes | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ok then if yu ran sudo nvidia-xconfig you should be able to startx | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-273637.html | 14:33 |
| lucas_ | ActionParsnip: i get an error.. usplash cannot run in this resolution | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: add another resolution to the list that is 640x480 | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | i think usplash uses that | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | you could always run: sudo dpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | to get a default one, then run sudo nvidia-xconfig, restart x | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas_: dd the nvdiakerenl build k when you installed 177 | 14:35 |

| Dragnslcr | Konversation works fine for me | 14:48 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't think there are any written specifically for KDE4 | 14:49 |
| heinkel_111 | i use konversation but it is kde3 and not updated | 14:49 |

| heinkel_111 | starts firefox instead of konqueror when I click on links abd I can't get it to integrate with kde4 things to well | 14:49 |
| heinkel_111 | giarca: I tried kvirc a couple of days ago, not impressed | 14:50 |
| heinkel_111 | it was more like a windows application, lacking a lot of the kde integration features | 14:50 |
| Dragnslcr | I believe Konversation uses whatever your default browser is for links | 14:51 |
| giarca | Dragnslcr: it does | 14:51 |

| shadeslayer | intrepid | 15:15 |
| thedark | how do I find out, and how do I set syslinux to make that partition bootable if it is fat32 | 15:15 |

| shadeslayer | oh you could wubi | 15:17 |
| shadeslayer | ;) | 15:17 |

| thedark | no cds, yes I know I am an idiot | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | i'd go buy a cake (if possible) | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | media == CHEEEEEP | 15:22 |
| thedark | yeah I know I just moved to a foreign country | 15:22 |
| thedark | there were other things on my mind | 15:22 |
| thedark | it was an oversight | 15:22 |
| tuxi | don't need computing issues on top of all the other bits | 15:22 |
| thedark | so I guess there is no way huh | 15:22 |
| * tuxi has been an expatriate | 15:22 | |
| thedark | I mean, I need this asap man, I need my comp | 15:23 |
| drostie | there's certainly a way, you just have no patience. :-P | 15:23 |
| thedark | I understand how I come off but | 15:23 |
| thedark | I have been in this room many,many times over the past two weeks | 15:23 |
| thedark | I have been given a solution like once | 15:23 |
| thedark | and I have spent many hours here | 15:24 |
| thedark | like I said, Kubuntu 8.10 has been a nightmare | 15:24 |
| thedark | it is late where I am and if people just don't have an answer or I am just screwed, at this point I would like to know, because I don't have hours and hours | 15:24 |
| drostie | Dude. The more time I have to type in response to complaints, the slower I actually can help you with your problem. :-P | 15:24 |
| thedark | okay, sorry | 15:24 |
| drostie | Okay, so you have an ubuntu 8.10 livecd image, and you're now chatting from... what? kubuntu 7.10? windows? something else? | 15:25 |
| cuznt | i have spent many hours here myself | 15:25 |
| pteague | using kubuntu you could install ubuntu-desktop | 15:26 |
| thedark | kubuntu 7.10 livecd | 15:26 |
| cuznt | and not gotten answers. sometimes you got to take the bits you DO have and piece them together. because its beta thedark we all learn together. | 15:26 |
| thedark | yeah well I never meant to jump on this beta train... I am a casual user that didn't know what he was getting into when he upgraded | 15:27 |
| cuznt | you need 8.04.2 the dark | 15:27 |
| thedark | my fault | 15:27 |
| pteague | thedark: what's on the computer you're currently using? or is the livecd all you have? | 15:27 |
| thedark | but I am still frustrated | 15:27 |
| drostie | OK. And you've got a hard drive which is connected via USB, with two partitions -- sdb1 (vfat) and sdb2 (ext2), correct? | 15:27 |
| thedark | Kubuntu 8.10 is on the comp | 15:27 |
| cuznt | ok | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | pteague: i think he is booted to a live cd with a view to putting an 8.10 iso on a usb stick to make it bootable | 15:27 |
| thedark | but the xserver won't start | 15:28 |
| thedark | YES! action basically has it right | 15:28 |
| thedark | there is only one partition on the usb drive | 15:28 |
| thedark | I don't know where you get that | 15:28 |
| thedark | qtparted only recognizes one filesystem... ext2 | 15:29 |
| drostie | Your pastebin suggested that /dev/sdb2 is mounted, and by Linux file conventions, that means there should be a /dev/sdb1. | 15:29 |
| pteague | ah, i've not put anything on a usb stick yet... however, can you mount an ext3 drive via the 7.10 livecds? if so, you could easily download the 8.10 iso & store to somewhere... but i'm not sure if the livecd would let you eject itself in order to put another in... | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | thedark: have you booted to the hdd recovery root console and ran: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:29 |
| * thedark whimpers | 15:30 | |
| thedark | I guess I could try it | 15:30 |
| thedark | of course | 15:30 |
| thedark | if it doesn't work | 15:30 |
| pteague | yeah, dpkg-reconfigure ftw | 15:30 |
| cuznt | what action says works thedark | 15:30 |
| cuznt | ive been down that road myself | 15:30 |
| thedark | I will just reboot the livecd and lose my mind going through this all again | 15:30 |
| === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| XiXaQ | hello everyone. I'm testing kubuntu jaunty and I'm really impressed. I haven't used KDE in many years, but now I'm actually considering a switch. As a new kde 4 user, I have a bunch of questions. Is there any gnome-kde migration guide somewhere? | 15:31 |
| thedark | okay.... | 15:31 |
| thedark | I will try it | 15:31 |
| cuznt | no thedark if it does not work, that just means that that was not the problems | 15:31 |
| thedark | DON'T DO IT | 15:31 |
| cuznt | but you got to do things in order | 15:31 |
| thedark | okay I will try it | 15:32 |
| samirnassar | XiXaQ: Are you asking about analogous software? Banshee vs. Amarok for example? | 15:32 |
| drostie | thedark: you haven't been using jaunty, so stop typing in all caps. | 15:32 |
| thedark | what is jaunty, 8.10.XXwhatever | 15:33 |
| pteague | what file extension do plasmoids have? | 15:33 |
| thedark | all I know is KDE 4.1 was killing me | 15:33 |
| drostie | No. 8.10 is intrepid. | 15:33 |
| Mamarok | thedark: no, it's 9.04 | 15:33 |
| thedark | wow so it is super experimental | 15:33 |
| thedark | how can it be better | 15:33 |
| drostie | Because 8.10 is on KDE 4.1, which was a rough draft of the beautiful interface that is KDE 4.2, which is now available on 9.04. | 15:34 |
| Mamarok | thedark: well, some people just like it, and it's not experimental but more like testing, to be released in a month time | 15:34 |
| samirnassar | thedark: it isn't. the last person who ran jaunty died a horrible death after his hard drive exploded. | 15:34 |
| thedark | I believe it | 15:34 |
| samirnassar | thedark: seriously, never use jaunty. | 15:34 |
| thedark | I feel dead inside | 15:34 |
| drostie | But jaunty is still in alpha builds, and packages are constantly being upgraded. | 15:34 |
| XiXaQ | samirnassar: not really. What are wallets? Can I configure the K-menu to not switch between the categories on mouse hovering? Are plasmoids and widgets the same thing? Can I have different widgets on different workspaces? | 15:34 |
| samirnassar | damn, I just ran out of troll food | 15:34 |
| thedark | I am getting off the KDE bandwagon once I get through this | 15:34 |
| thedark | anyway I am wasting too much time, I will this dpkg thing | 15:35 |
| samirnassar | XiXaQ: there are alternatives to K-Menu. Lancelot for example, and even a "traditional" menu | 15:36 |
| bartskde2 | trying to make the switch back to kde from gnome. how do I set dragon or vlc to start when I insert a dvd? | 15:36 |
| samirnassar | XiXaQ: KWallet is a password storage app. It can handle things like entering your password for you in a variety of apps. | 15:37 |
| drostie | !kwallet | XiXaQ | 15:37 |
| ubottu | XiXaQ: kwallet is a subsystem that provides a convenient and secure way to manage all your passwords. More information is available at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/kwallet | 15:37 |
| XiXaQ | samirnassar: I noticed that, but I like the menu except for that one thing. I use a touchpad without complete control, and it's annoying that the menu skips between categories that easily. I'd like to order that with a click. | 15:37 |
| samirnassar | XiXaQ: if you right click on the K-Menu | 15:38 |
| samirnassar | XiXaQ: you'll get Application launcher setting option. | 15:38 |
| samirnassar | XiXaQ: you can turn off hovering there. | 15:38 |
| thomas____ | anyone else experiencing lockups using kde 4 and the "opengl" screensavers? when I try to open the screen lock the screen either flickers wildly between the screensaver and the "lock up" image or just locks | 15:38 |
| XiXaQ | ah! Nice. Thanks :) | 15:39 |
| drostie | And yes, plasmoids and widgets are the same thing. But I think all workspaces share the same panels, in which case, I don't think you can have different plasmoids on different workspaces. | 15:39 |
| chairman_ | does anybody have MySpace IM on Kopete | 15:39 |
| XiXaQ | drostie: in the upper right, there is a button that you can click. You can zoom out. There you can "add activity", which seems to be different workspaces with different widgets. | 15:41 |
| thedark | ok it worked | 15:42 |
| thedark | sorry for being a jerk, I am just really happy it worked | 15:42 |
| thedark | but I am still switching to Ubuntu in a few days | 15:42 |
| thedark | so thank you, this simple advice was really helpful | 15:43 |
| thedark | and I will just buy cds later this week | 15:43 |
| drostie | Yet another problem solved by ActionParsnip ^_^ | 15:43 |
| thomas____ | quassel irc was not so bad, in fact it reminds me very much of konversation | 15:43 |
| drostie | thomas____: it feels kinda... rough to me, though. | 15:44 |
| drostie | anyways. | 15:44 |
| bartskde2 | any idea how to get vlc to start automatically when I insert a dvd in kde 4.2? | 15:45 |
| pteague_laptop | does konqueror or dolphin let you use tree view anymore? | 15:47 |
| kishore | is the right channel for talking about jaunty? | 15:48 |
| kishore | or is there one specifically setup for jaunty? | 15:49 |
| XiXaQ | kishore: hehe, good question. I'm new here myself because I'm testing jaunty. Nobody's complained about my questions, but there is a channel called #ubuntu+1, which are the primary channel for the next version of ubuntu. I reckon that goes for kubuntu too.. | 15:50 |
| dr_Willis | Yep. | 15:50 |
| kishore | XiXaQ: since you are with jaunty? let me just ask.. if you experience stability issues. and several zombie processes? | 15:51 |
| m477 | on fresh 8.10 i have this error 'konqueror crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).' | 15:51 |
| m477 | all the time | 15:51 |
| kishore | XiXaQ: which i think are mostly due the qt 4.5 switch | 15:52 |
| kishore | m477: my intrepid install (with 4.2) is pretty stable | 15:52 |
| XiXaQ | kishore: I haven't used KDE in about ten years, and I've been testing kubuntu jaunty for two hours approximately. I do get some errors, but I haven't really checked the system thoroughly. | 15:53 |
| kishore | XiXaQ: ah ok :) | 15:53 |
| heinkel_111 | ActionParsnip: thank you for the link, the technique worked fine and now I can again open konqueror from konversation | 15:53 |
| khirr | hello, i have kubuntu 9.04 but it is in english, how could i traslate this? | 15:54 |
| dr_Willis | !locale | 15:54 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 15:54 |
| heinkel_111 | I still prefer konversation to quassel, I think | 15:54 |
| SandGorgon | XiXaQ, how is the stability of jaunty with kde 4.2 ? | 15:54 |
| m477 | kishore: on 4.2 i wont get this error ? | 15:54 |
| pteague | if anybody else is looking for a quick launcher for kde4 i found a functional 1 at http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=78061&forumpage=2 ... there's a binary for 32bit ubuntu, i had to compile for 64bit | 15:54 |
| XiXaQ | SandGorgon: as I said, I've been testing it for only two hours. That's not sufficient to start making claims on stability. It hasn't crashed yet, but then if it did, it would be scandalous. | 15:55 |
| kishore | m477: i cant say for sure but IMHO stability "improved" with kubuntu releasing 4.2 which is now also available in backports | 15:55 |
| pteague | the weather plasmoid is kind of a fail... it's saying it's 2F outside & it's 14F | 15:56 |
| kishore | XiXaQ: its not exactly crashing but behaves weird at times... can you check if you have zombie processes? (ctrl+esc) | 15:56 |
| XiXaQ | sounds like a data source issue, pteague. | 15:56 |
| kishore | pteague: have you configured it right for your place? | 15:57 |
| pteague | i put in my zip code | 15:57 |
| m477 | kishore: so the best way to instal 4.2 is by website or adept ? | 15:57 |
| XiXaQ | kishore: none that I can see. | 15:58 |
| kishore | i have zombie processes from ksmserver and amarok too leaves lots of amarokcollection processes | 15:58 |
| pteague | & i can barely read the background stating it's kansas city | 15:58 |
| kishore | m477: adept should do | 15:58 |
| pteague | accuweather says for my zip it's 12F & 11F "realfeel' ... weather.com says it's 14F & feels like 1F | 15:59 |
| kishore | m477: but you should have backports enabled | 15:59 |
| SandGorgon | XiXaQ, kishore any of you using nVidia cards? I have XPS with nvidia laptop and i'm concerned about the new Xorg | 15:59 |
| m477 | kishore: how can i do that ? | 15:59 |
| XiXaQ | SandGorgon: I'm running in vbox. | 16:00 |
| kishore | SandGorgon: I have nvidia | 16:00 |
| SandGorgon | kishore, which card ? | 16:00 |
| kishore | SandGorgon: internal go6150 | 16:02 |
| kishore | m477: let me check in the UI.. im mostly used to the command line.. :P | 16:02 |
| m477 | kishore: ok np i will w8 | 16:04 |
| kishore | m477: i think it is called "unsupported updates" in the UI | 16:04 |
| kishore | m477: open adept and click on edit software sources | 16:05 |
| kishore | under sources | 16:05 |
| m477 | kishore: just that ? | 16:06 |
| rizvan | i messed my nvidia drivers, now x won't load with "nvidia" | 16:07 |
| rizvan | is there a fix? | 16:07 |
| kishore | m477: i guess.. help me here... once you update software sources | 16:08 |
| mmaker | привет всем | 16:08 |
| kishore | in a command line execute "using inertial sensors | 16:08 |
| kishore | " | 16:08 |
| kishore | sorry... | 16:08 |
| kishore | in a command line execute "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep backports" | 16:09 |
| kishore | and tell me the output | 16:09 |
| m477 | kishore: yes i got 25 software updates availble should i install all ? | 16:10 |
| kishore | does that list kde applications? | 16:11 |
| kishore | m477: 25 is rather small | 16:11 |
| m477 | kishore: i have fresh system and i did one upgrade just, befor that | 16:13 |
| kishore | m477: and was unsupported updates already enabled? | 16:13 |
| m477 | kishore: no, these were 'normal' updates | 16:14 |
| kishore | open any kde application and look into help->about it should mention your current version | 16:14 |
| m477 | kishore: now when i enable unsuported i got 25 packages avalible to update the most like KDE upgrades | 16:14 |
| kishore | m477: an upgrade to 4.2 should list many more applications that just 25 i would think | 16:15 |
| kishore | m477: to be use, check on the command line with the command "sudo apt-get -V dist-upgrade" | 16:15 |
| kishore | it will mention the current version number and the version to which it is being upgraded | 16:16 |
| kishore | all kde applications should show something like 4.1.x to 4.2.x | 16:16 |
| draik_ | How can I find out why my computer keeps on freezing? | 16:17 |
| kishore | draik_: do you have any binray restricted drivers installed? | 16:17 |
| m477 | kishore: why 'about kde' shows me that i have 3.5.10 version when i got 8.10 and on starting up show 4.1 ? | 16:19 |
| draik_ | To the best of my knowledge, no. But this issue has been happening ever since I started installing Kubuntu Intrepid on my 1TB. It's odd since I just installed Kubuntu on my friend's 1TB last night without any of these issues. | 16:19 |
| m477 | kishore: now shows 93 upgraded, 18 newly installed, 2 to remove and 1 not upgraded. ( 147 mb ) | 16:20 |
| kishore | m477: which app did you check | 16:20 |
| kishore | m477: now that sounds more realistic | 16:20 |
| m477 | kishore: amarok , konversation | 16:21 |
| m477 | kishore: in terminal 4.1.4 <lol> | 16:22 |
| kishore | m477: too bad those two apps in 8.10 are indeed kde 3 apps :) | 16:22 |
| m477 | kishore: ah | 16:22 |
| kishore | but kde 4 version of amarok is available as amarok-kde4 | 16:23 |
| m477 | kishore: ok thx but it will change just look ? | 16:23 |
| kishore | draik_: im really not sure. you should check with the kernel guys | 16:24 |
| drostie | My screen blanks on the "desktop" icon in the KDE4.2 login splash screen, before half-returning in for the K-icon. it then all reappears to do the fade-to-desktop effect. Any ideas on what happens during that icon? | 16:24 |
| draik_ | kishore: #kernel ? | 16:24 |
| kishore | m477: amarok for kde4 is very different | 16:24 |
| kishore | you should check if you really want to upgrade | 16:24 |
| m477 | kishore: i installed this update im gonna reboot | 16:24 |
| drostie | Because if I have to, I will replace those icons with a splash screen that says, "Shiny. Pants. Fruit filling. K." instead. | 16:24 |
| kishore | draik_: i think it is #ubuntu-kernel | 16:25 |
| pteague | anybody know what dev packages i need in order to build the plasmoids from kde-look.org ? | 16:25 |
| khirr | what are the repositories for kubuntu 9.04? | 16:25 |
| kishore | pteague: try libplasma-dev | 16:26 |
| drostie | khirr: the same as kubuntu 8.10, with the "jaunty" keyword instead of the "intrepid" keyword. | 16:26 |
| pteague | what dromer said | 16:26 |
| khirr | yes, but, i dont know where i can get the list | 16:26 |
| kishore | khirr: /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:27 |
| khirr | i have spain list, i need central list | 16:27 |
| drostie | Try just "archive.ubuntu.com" rather than es.archive.ubuntu.com ? | 16:28 |
| khirr | <drostie> i will try | 16:28 |
| pteague | kishore: already auto installed... think i may need to install kde-devel &/or kde-devel-extras ? | 16:28 |
| m477 | kishore: when i was rebooting kde had crashed all screan was in strange signs i made picture by camera i can show you if it helps | 16:30 |
| kishore | m477: but is it ok now? | 16:30 |
| drostie | A picture would tell us much more than "all screan was in strange signs." | 16:30 |
| kishore | using inertial sensors | 16:30 |
| m477 | kishore: yes i think | 16:31 |
| kishore | damn the mouse pad | 16:31 |
| drostie | inertial sensors...? | 16:31 |
| khirr | <dostrie> it works | 16:31 |
| m477 | drostie: tell me your e mail i send picture | 16:31 |
| kishore | drostie: sorry.. accidentally pasted from another document that im working on | 16:32 |
| dromer | pteague: I didn't say anything .. | 16:32 |
| pteague | dromer: sorry, tab completion gave me wrong nic & i wasn't paying attention... shame on me | 16:33 |
| dromer | :P | 16:33 |
| kishore | pteague: that should be enough as a minimum.. which applet are you trying to build and what error do you get? | 16:33 |
| dromer | does anybode know when the 180 nvidia driver will be available in ubuntu? | 16:33 |
| kishore | dromer: it already is | 16:34 |
| draik_ | I have now lost internet connection to my desktop | 16:34 |
| m477 | drostie: i sent | 16:34 |
| draik_ | It either kills off the internet connection or it freezes. I don't have the slightest clue about what is happening with my desktop. | 16:34 |
| draik_ | OK, now it is frozen | 16:35 |
| pteague | kishore: i'm trying to compile a couple of them... adjustable clock & customizable weather plasmoid seem to be giving me the same/similar errors at the top | 16:35 |
| drostie | isn't it horrible having two people in the chat with the same first three letters of their handle? *g* | 16:35 |
| pteague | 1 of the issues is that it seems like at some point it can't find an included file & i'm not sure whether it's supposed to be in the sources from the tarball or from 1 of the default plasmoids | 16:37 |
| drostie | draik_: what's happening with your desktop? | 16:37 |
| drostie | I mean, more specifically than "It either kills off the internet or it freezes" -- what is "it"? | 16:37 |
| dromer | kishore: hmm ok, I can only get the 96, 173 and 177 driver for my card though | 16:38 |
| draik_ | drostie: Same thing; loss of internet (if I get that far) with the ever-constant freezing | 16:38 |
| kishore | pteague: whats the include file that is missing? | 16:38 |
| drostie | m477: that's a pretty spectacular death screen. Much better than any BSOD on Windows. :-D | 16:38 |
| m477 | drostie: yes i got it second time in one day | 16:39 |
| draik_ | I just opened the case and disconnected the 3 hard drives I'm not using right now. See if that fixes anything. | 16:39 |
| m477 | drostie: could it be cuz i dont have instaled drivers for grphic card ? | 16:39 |
| pteague | plasmaclock/clockapplet.h & then there's lots of interrupts after it followed by errors | 16:40 |
| drostie | m477: that would depend on the graphics card, I suppose, but I can't imagine that anything from Linux has that sort of screen hard-coded in it. | 16:40 |
| m477 | kishore: it havent helped The application Konqueror (konqueror) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT). next crash | 16:40 |
| m477 | drostie: nvidia 8600m gs | 16:41 |
| kishore | m477: does this only happen with konq? | 16:41 |
| pteague | & for the weather plasmoid it's missing/can't find Plasma/PopupApplet | 16:41 |
| m477 | kishore: i dont know i just opened that till | 16:42 |
| m477 | kishore: i supoust it will do with more aplications | 16:42 |
| kishore | interesting.. since i do not face the same... | 16:42 |
| m477 | i have this problem on few versions kubuntu | 16:43 |
| draik_ | No internet on the desktop | 16:43 |
| kishore | did you migrate your home folder from older versions of kubuntu? | 16:43 |
| m477 | i did always format | 16:44 |
| draik_ | Now system is frozen. | 16:44 |
| draik_ | Hard drive is vaguely warm, | 16:44 |
| m477 | kishore: i think it is becouse i havent 3d acceleration instaled | 16:44 |
| === CoJaBo__ is now known as CoJaBo | ||
| drostie | draik_: what system are you running? just saying "I have no internet, now my system is frozen" doesn't really tell us much. | 16:45 |
| kishore | m477: still should not crash... It's a bug never the less! :) | 16:45 |
| m477 | kishore: so what i have to do with that | 16:46 |
| draik_ | drostie: Kubuntu Intrepid on 1TB HDD. And now, it's not reading that HDD. | 16:46 |
| kishore | m477: you should file a bug in launchpad | 16:47 |
| m477 | by the way how i install opera by adept when it coudnt find it ? | 16:47 |
| kishore | m477: i think you need to add a repository | 16:48 |
| m477 | kishore: can you tell me how ? | 16:49 |
| draik_ | My BIOS reset itself to begin from the HDD rather than add-on card; odd. I'm back into Kubuntu. | 16:50 |
| kishore | m477: sorry i do not have the details with me here but they should be available from the opera download pages | 16:50 |
| Slartibartfast | m477, opera is not offered through a repostory as far as i know ....... just download from there website | 16:50 |
| drostie | For the record, I've resized m477's crash screen and uploaded it here: http://drostie.org/ksod.jpg | 16:51 |
| drostie | it's very very spectacular. | 16:51 |
| kishore | dromer: Wow! | 16:51 |
| draik_ | It's pretty, but not what is needed. | 16:51 |
| Slartibartfast | wow ... like a caleidoscope :-) | 16:52 |
| khirr | how could i install nvidia drivers in kubuntu 9.04? | 16:52 |
| draik_ | What would cause my computer to suddenly freeze? | 16:52 |
| drostie | khirr: K > Applications > System > Hardware Drivers should do it. | 16:52 |
| draik_ | And to lose an internet connection while getting packages. | 16:53 |
| drostie | draik_: KDE 4.1? 4.2? | 16:53 |
| draik_ | 4.2 | 16:54 |
| mino_ | hi :) | 16:54 |
| khirr | <drostie> driver not appear | 16:54 |
| skeebo | I'm running kubuntu 8.10, and I have an external drive with a FAT32 fs (it's a very busy drive) and thus needs defragging.... :( So I was wondering how safe it is to mount my external drive to my XP SP3 VM to defrag it for me. Should I run into any problems doing this? | 16:54 |
| mino_ | where is the audio device settings in amarok2 ? ( i run kde 4.2 ) | 16:55 |
| m477 | kishore: did you see it ? http://drostie.org/ksod.jpg | 16:55 |
| kishore | m477: yup! | 16:55 |
| drostie | draik_: how is your internet connection set up on your computer, and does it work for at least some parts? | 16:55 |
| kishore | spectacular! how did you do it! :P | 16:55 |
| drostie | It's truly the pinnacle of modern art. ^_^ | 16:56 |
| m477 | kishore: i told you i did upadte kde and when reboting it crashed | 16:57 |
| draik_ | drostie: laptop (this connection) and desktop are on the same router that connects directly to the modem and onto my ISP; nothing special about it. The internet works for about 5 minutes. I'm running the updates and then I get nothing. The connection drops and Yakuake is there looking at me with zero movement in package downloads. | 16:57 |
| dromer | kishore: wow what? | 16:57 |
| khirr | <drostie> if the driver does not appear in the hardware list, what should i do? | 16:58 |
| kishore | dromer: the image... m477 crash | 16:58 |
| choupeaux | slt tt lmonde | 16:58 |
| drostie | khirr: erm, google something like [nvidia such-and-so ubuntu] in order to find someone who has made it work before? | 16:59 |
| choupeaux | vous ete tous sur linux kubuntu | 16:59 |
| choupeaux | ?? | 16:59 |
| draik_ | !fr | choupeaux | 16:59 |
| ubottu | choupeaux: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 16:59 |
| khirr | <drostie> in ubuntu it works, detects new driver but in kubuntu with kde 4.2 i didnt see that | 16:59 |
| pteague | anybody have any ideas on this? trying to compile a plasmoid - http://pastebin.com/m75f086fd | 17:00 |
| drostie | draik_: okay, it starts and then stops. Good. go to K > Applications > System > KSystemLogs . | 17:00 |
| draik_ | drostie: I'll let you know if I can get that far | 17:00 |
| drostie | Watch the logs while the connection drops, see what's happening. | 17:00 |
| drostie | khirr: is this jaunty with 4.2 or intrepid with 4.2? | 17:01 |
| khirr | <drostie> i'm using jaunty | 17:01 |
| draik_ | OK, I got that far. Let me see | 17:01 |
| drostie | khirr: hm. And the hardware that you're trying to install is...? | 17:02 |
| draik_ | System froze, drostie. But I see this... | 17:02 |
| khirr | <drostie> nvidia serie FX | 17:02 |
| draik_ | NetworkManager <WARN> connection_get_settings_cb(): Connection_get_... | 17:02 |
| dromer | khirr: and eh, what does it have to do with me? :) | 17:02 |
| sharkk | someone know a nice(and hopefully working :)) graphical software to manage boot services(sysvinit) for kubuntu/kde? thanks | 17:02 |
| dromer | s/khirr/kishore | 17:02 |
| dromer | ugh | 17:03 |
| khirr | uhm? | 17:03 |
| draik_ | kernel [ 132.733043] NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 16, Head 00000000... | 17:03 |
| dromer | so, hmm, I'm having trouble withe the tv-out of my geforce 6200: I can only get b/w | 17:03 |
| draik_ | drostie: system froze as I was attempting to resize so I can view the error message. | 17:03 |
| drostie | draik_: okay, so instead of logging on the normal way, maybe it's best if you log into a TTY. | 17:04 |
| draik_ | drostie: OK. I will do that. Desktop almost at login prompt | 17:05 |
| draik_ | drostie: BTW, it happens there too | 17:05 |
| drostie | The sudden crashes also happen in a TTY? | 17:05 |
| draik_ | I lose the internet connection, then I'm stuck with nothing to do at that point but reboot. | 17:06 |
| drostie | Yes. But the system logs can be read from a TTY with nano and the /var/log directory. | 17:06 |
| m477 | how open tar.gz ? what was the command | 17:06 |
| draik_ | Yup. I'm going to do that once it happens | 17:06 |
| pteague | dromer: might be able to find somebody to help in #ubuntu-mythtv | 17:07 |
| drostie | (I'm actually surprised that you've got working wireless in the first place on the TTYs, to be perfectly honest. Mine doesn't work until I run KNetworkManager. --_--;;) | 17:07 |
| dromer | pteague: I'm not doing anything with mythtv | 17:07 |
| pteague | just thinking they may have the experience with dealing with the hardware/drivers | 17:07 |
| dromer | hmm | 17:08 |
| aponte | hello | 17:12 |
| m477 | how to install official nvidia driver ('x server is running' error)? something with runlevels? how to do that? | 17:13 |
| pteague | m477: do you know if you need the nvidia-glx or the nvidia-glx-new driver? | 17:14 |
| m477 | pteague what's the diffrence ? | 17:15 |
| draik_ | drostie: I'm looking at the log. I have NetowrkManager starting up, then I have eth0 being unmanaged. That's the end of the log for the NetworkManager | 17:15 |
| drostie | That's the last thing that happens before your internet and/or computer crashes? | 17:17 |
| draik_ | Seems that computer crashes within KDE. | 17:17 |
| draik_ | I have OpenBox. I'll give that a shot, but I have to reboot to regain my internet connection. | 17:18 |
| draik_ | I'm still within TTY1 and no crash. | 17:18 |
| pteague | m477: this is part of the description for the nvidia-glx-new package - "...If you have a TNT, TNT2, or older GeForce, you may need the nvidia-glx-legacy package instead of this one. If you have a GeForce4, you may need the nvidia-glx package." | 17:18 |
| pteague | m477: so i guess anything older than a geforce4 uses the nvidia-glx-legacy, geforce4 uses nvidia-glx, & anything newer uses nvidia-glx-new | 17:19 |
| m477 | pteague so i need nvidia-glx-new | 17:20 |
| draik_ | drostie: Take that back, no OpenBox yet. | 17:20 |
| drostie | draik_: hm. Does the old Xorg log say anything about a crash? | 17:20 |
| draik_ | I'll check | 17:21 |
| drostie | Because if the crash only happens when KDE is running... | 17:21 |
| pteague | m477: k & you'll also want to install nvidia-settings as well to set things up | 17:21 |
| drostie | (This is why I don't like Intrepid/4.2 systems, though. --_--;;) | 17:21 |
| m477 | pteague ok | 17:21 |
| pteague | m477: after installing both, run `sudo nvidia-xconfig` to prep the xorg.conf file... & then `sudo nvidia-settings` should give you a gui to make changes | 17:23 |
| drostie | While there are people around, how do I add stretchable blank space to a panel, to prevent, e.g., the clock from scaling to half the screen width? Or do I just need to break these things off into separate panels? | 17:23 |
| pteague | drostie: good question... i want to know as well :) | 17:24 |
| draik_ | drostie: /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't have any errors. A bunch of (II) and (**). | 17:24 |
| m477 | pteague which i need ? nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-glx-177 nvidia-glx-173 nvidia-glx-71 | 17:24 |
| m477 | pteague they are availible | 17:25 |
| cuznt | is it ok to remove the experimental i used to upgrade to 4.2 the 1st time? | 17:25 |
| draik_ | drostie: I have a segfault with nepomukservices. That's possibly the cause since it also handles networking (IIRC). | 17:25 |
| draik_ | I'm currently using KDE/Openbox. So far so good. | 17:26 |
| drostie | draik_: I dunno; nepomuk is always generating crash reports on my KDE 4.2 install, but it has never taken down my computer. :-\ | 17:26 |
| pteague | m477: do any of them say recommended ? | 17:28 |
| thomas | Hello, I have a Creative Live Cam (VF0420) and I want to use it in Kopete. The ov51x-jpeg is installed, but I can not see a picture in Kopete. Can anyone help me? | 17:30 |
| cfenix | i need some help, i can't see the text on the menues of my windows | 17:32 |
| m477 | pteague Package nvidia-glx-new has no installation candidate | 17:33 |
| draik_ | drostie: I think KDE/Openbox is the solution | 17:33 |
| draik_ | No crash and the install is still going on | 17:33 |
| ngirard | Ha all. Have you noticed a recent trouble happening when setting the zoom to "fit page" in Adobe reader ? It used to work, and now the resulting zoom is a little bit too high for the page to fit entirely in the window | 17:34 |
| ngirard | I'm using kde 4.2 in Intrepid and haven't changed the version of Adobe reader, so it definitely has to be related to a changed in kwin, plasma or another kde component | 17:36 |
| pteague | m477: which nvidia chipset is it & who is the manufacturer of the card? | 17:36 |
| m477 | pteague it is nvidia 8600 m gs , sorry i dont know what chipset is there | 17:38 |
| pteague | that is the chipset :) | 17:38 |
| pteague | who's the manufacturer of the board? evga, msi, etc ? | 17:38 |
| cfenix | i can't see the text on menu of Wine and aMSN, anyone know what can i do? | 17:39 |
| pteague | the brand on the box | 17:39 |
| m477 | pteague i supoust it is asus | 17:41 |
| draik_ | drostie: Spoke too soon. It froze | 17:42 |
| === steffen_ is now known as LoKi[MK] | ||
| LoKi[MK] | hallo | 17:44 |
| LoKi[MK] | jemand da ? | 17:44 |
| overlord | I just switched from Gnome to KDE. Can anyone tell me how do I edit start-up apps ? | 17:44 |
| pteague | m477: sorry, pizza showed up & geeze is it cold outside | 17:47 |
| GWild | overlord: I place files in .kde/Autostart | 17:47 |
| GWild | overlord: to start yakuake, conky, etc | 17:47 |
| drostie | I could use some pizza right now. ^_^ | 17:47 |
| LoKi[MK] | hallo ? | 17:47 |
| overlord | hmm | 17:48 |
| drostie | !hi | LoKi[MK] | 17:48 |
| ubottu | LoKi[MK]: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 17:48 |
| m477 | pteague so what now mate ? | 17:48 |
| GWild | drostie: I'll have a slice of pepperonni please | 17:48 |
| pteague | drostie: got a p'zone, not gonna last very long :( | 17:48 |
| LoKi[MK] | give it a german IRC Kubuntu chanel ? | 17:48 |
| XiXaQ | does anyone know of plasmoids which can display the next few tasks, meetings, etc from kontact? | 17:48 |
| GWild | overlord: you can also edit the session settings for restoration on restart | 17:49 |
| pteague | m477: when did it tell you it had no installation candidate? or was that it had no recommended driver? | 17:49 |
| drostie | yeah, well, I'm in a country where there are only two pizza options: something called "New York Pizza" (it's not), and Domino's. | 17:49 |
| overlord | GWild: Exactly how do I add an application to load at start up | 17:50 |
| drostie | The Domino's motto in this country is particularly delightful: "Man hungry. Ding-dong pizza.") | 17:50 |
| overlord | GWild: for ex. let's say Compiz or Emerald | 17:50 |
| pteague | lol | 17:50 |
| GWild | overlord: add a symlink to those apps | 17:50 |
| GWild | overlord: that what I have done and it seems to work fine | 17:51 |
| jussi01 | !offtopic | drostie | 17:51 |
| ubottu | drostie: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 17:51 |
| overlord | GWild: and just how do i do that ? | 17:51 |
| pteague | anybody know if there's a way to tell which nvidia driver is actually loaded? | 17:51 |
| m477 | pteague http://paste.ubuntu.com/124852/ | 17:51 |
| GWild | overlord: create a symlink in .kde/Autostart which points to /usr/bin/your_app | 17:52 |
| pteague | oh wow... which version of kubuntu are you using? | 17:52 |
| jussi01 | pteague: dmesg | grep nvidia (that will likely say....) | 17:52 |
| drostie | The most frustrating thing about Quassel compared to KVirc, is that clicking on links in Quassel doesn't open them. >_< | 17:52 |
| GWild | overlord: for example my 'yakuake' symlink points to /usr/bin/yakuake | 17:52 |
| overlord | GWild: okay. | 17:52 |
| jussi01 | drostie: unless you are in an ancient version, it does | 17:53 |
| overlord | oh..and I have another problem. | 17:53 |
| overlord | My Kopete chat window. It has gone into fullscreen mode. Somewhat like Firefox. How do I fix that ? | 17:53 |
| GWild | overlord: I would say to right click on the title bar and go into the window behaviour settings | 17:54 |
| drostie | jussi01: 0.4.0 is in the repos; that's what I have. | 17:54 |
| pteague | jussi01: nope, just complains that nvidia module license tains the kernel & "NVRM loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 169.12" :( | 17:54 |
| pteague | i'm thinking the 8600 uses the 177 | 17:54 |
| jussi01 | drostie: hrm, well link clicking works here | 17:54 |
| GWild | overlord: "Configure Window Behaviour" | 17:54 |
| overlord | GWild: Thanks. I'll try that. | 17:54 |
| GWild | overlord: then "Window specific" | 17:55 |
| pteague | windows is going to reboot my game box here in a second & i'll have grub load linux & see if i can figure out which package it installed | 17:55 |
| pteague | m477: are you using hardy, intrepid, or jausty? | 17:55 |
| m477 | pteague interpid | 17:55 |
| m477 | ok im gonna instal 177 | 17:56 |
| drostie | jussi01: weird. When I mouseover the link, I get this pretty-but-useless thumbnail version. I then double-click it to visit the link, and it selects the link text instead. How did you configure it to follow the link? | 17:56 |
| pteague | m477: k, this box has hardy... i'll wait for game box to reboot, but i could have sworn i installed nvidia-glx-new ... hmm... do you have the partner &/or restricted sources added? | 17:57 |
| m477 | pteague restricted | 18:00 |
| drostie | oh. I see. Quassel is just backwards. Single clicks open, double clicks select, rather than vice versa. >_<;; | 18:00 |
| m477 | pteague http://paste.ubuntu.com/124860/ | 18:03 |
| overlord | GWild: Okay. I Fixed the Kopete problem. I edited the startup sessions using the sessions tools from Gnome to remove Compiz. I guess there was some conflict. | 18:04 |
| overlord | GWild: But I couldn't find "Configure Window Behaviour" | 18:05 |
| pteague | yep, i have the 177 drivers installed... m477 try kmenu -> system -> hardware drivers | 18:07 |
| m477 | pteague i have 177 activated | 18:09 |
| GWild | overlord: no "Configure Window Behaviour" by right clicking on the title bar? | 18:09 |
| GWild | overlord: no "Configure Window Behavior..." by right clicking on the title bar?* | 18:09 |
| overlord | GWild: Title bar was missing at that point. And I still can't find it | 18:10 |
| m477 | pteague how can i check if i have 3c acceleration ? in console | 18:10 |
| m477 | pteague 3d* im sorry | 18:10 |
| pteague | m477: k, run nvidia-xconfig & it should prepare the xorg.conf | 18:10 |
| pteague | m477: 3d i'm not sure about | 18:11 |
| m477 | pteague and what now ? | 18:11 |
| GWild | hmm | 18:12 |
| overlord | Also, I would like to know: I want to open a folder by double clicking it. And I'm unable to find this in the "Configure Dolphin" page. How do I do this ? | 18:12 |
| pteague | m477: did it give you the same error message as before? | 18:12 |
| Wazmyn | overlord: look in system settings | 18:13 |
| m477 | pteague no , now i have to do http://paste.ubuntu.com/124872/ | 18:13 |
| Wazmyn | overlord: keyboard&mouse ->> mouse | 18:13 |
| overlord | Wazmyn: Thanks. | 18:14 |
| Wazmyn | overlord: sure. But if you leave it on one click for 2 weeks, you'll wonder why anybody would ever use the double click :) | 18:14 |
| overlord | GWild: Oh. I can see "Window Behaviour" & "Window Specific Behaviour" in system settings. | 18:15 |
| overlord | Wazmyn: Thanks for the tip. I'l leave it to single click now. Let's see ! =] | 18:15 |
| m477 | pteague im in etc/x11/xorg.conf i have to write up there something yes ? | 18:16 |
| pteague | m477: ah, ok... let me paste my xorg file... hmm... what was the cli for pasting config files... | 18:16 |
| draik_ | This is not a technical question, but I'll ask anyway... If I cough, should I be seeing something that resembles small shooting stars or spider web lines of light? | 18:16 |
| m477 | pteague cli ? what does it mean ? | 18:17 |
| pteague | command line interface... i.e. terminal | 18:17 |
| draik_ | drostie: So I no longer have the Internet issue. I still have the freezing issue. | 18:17 |
| Wazmyn | draik when you caough you temporarly disrupt blood flow to your brain. You're seeing the effects of that | 18:17 |
| pteague | m477: check http://pastebin.com/fb3214d2 | 18:18 |
| pteague | against your xorg.conf | 18:18 |
| draik_ | Wazmyn: Lovely. Well, as long as I'm not halucinating anything, I suppose that's fine with me. | 18:18 |
| Wazmyn | <-- sinus infection. I was having the same thing. Wife's a Vet, she explained it all to me | 18:18 |
| pteague | sinuses are fun... speaking of which *gobbles a claritin-d* | 18:19 |
| Loctrice | well, I made it | 18:20 |
| dr_Willis | :0 get one of those little 'tea pots' to wash out your nose. :) | 18:20 |
| Loctrice | anyone give me some info with kubuntu? I got this channel from the help page | 18:20 |
| Wazmyn | Everyone keeps telling me that, dr_Willis | 18:20 |
| Wazmyn | Loctrice: just ask your questions | 18:20 |
| m477 | pteague i did what now ? | 18:20 |
| draik_ | !ask | Loctrice | 18:21 |
| ubottu | Loctrice: 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. :-) | 18:21 |
| dr_Willis | Wazmyn, ive not tried one.. but guys at work sware by them.. Im going to try one whenever i can track one doen thats not outragous priced. | 18:21 |
| Loctrice | I have tried debian, and now kubuntu. I cant seem to get the desktop to load. it has some messy graphics on F7 but no environment that I can use | 18:21 |
| pteague | or spicy food... i like mexican & oriental... the extra hot... when i'm having bad problems with sinuses | 18:21 |
| * Wazmyn agrees with dr_Willis | 18:21 | |
| m477 | pteague now i have to restart x server ? | 18:21 |
| pteague | m477: actually, if you copied my xorg.conf to yours i think all you need to do is restart X unless there's something specific you want to try... that's off my box with the 8600 in it | 18:22 |
| _Maikon_ | hello .i got a nice conection, but when i'm downloading a package from repositories(via apt-get or any gui) i can't a good conection, my downloads are at 50kb/s | 18:22 |
| draik_ | pteague: spicy food with clear your ins and outs | 18:22 |
| draik_ | Spicy Food, your body's I/O port cleaner! | 18:23 |
| _Maikon_ | any idea where is my problem? | 18:24 |
| Loctrice | so why cant I get a desktop if its supposed to have one with my install? | 18:24 |
| dr_Willis | pteague, a little habanaro pepper under the tounge does wonders eh? :) | 18:24 |
| draik_ | dr_Willis: What teapots did you mean? | 18:25 |
| dr_Willis | draik_, the 'neti pots' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8sDIbRAXlg - they look like little teapots the kids would play with | 18:25 |
| pteague | dr_Willis: either that or maybe it's the extra burning makes you cry it all out? ;) | 18:26 |
| pteague | lol draik_ | 18:26 |
| pteague | woot, i'm installing pastebinit on all my boxes | 18:27 |
| draik_ | LOL. That's funny. I can see this being used otherwise. | 18:27 |
| dr_Willis | draik_, :) like the kids having 'tea' :) | 18:28 |
| pteague | oh yuck | 18:28 |
| Wazmyn | Loctrice: did the desktop work with the live cd? | 18:29 |
| draik_ | dr_Willis: I can imaging kids being very experimental and use special salt with this thing | 18:30 |
| fkm | Is there a way to get the 'old' Adept back on a Kubuntu Interpid? | 18:30 |
| pteague | lol | 18:30 |
| Wazmyn | fkm: sudo apt-get install synaptic | 18:30 |
| Wazmyn | :) | 18:30 |
| fkm | I don't like synaptic either :-( | 18:31 |
| Wazmyn | fkm: it's better than the new adept | 18:31 |
| fkm | That's right :-) | 18:31 |
| dr_Willis | I always use synaptic | 18:31 |
| draik_ | I use CLI | 18:31 |
| dr_Willis | 'pacman -S synaptic' :P | 18:31 |
| fkm | I switched to the console for now | 18:31 |
| pteague | lol off that youtube link i followed "white trash neti pot"... | 18:32 |
| fkm | So there's no way to get to back to the good old Adept vom Feisty? :-| | 18:33 |
| dr_Willis | proberly not | 18:34 |
| pteague | my preference is the update-notifier from gnome... i can have it show me what needs to be updated without me having to put in a password... so if i figure it's not worth it i'll just leave it for later | 18:34 |
| m477 | pteague hey when i overwrite my xorg by your kde wont open to me i had to load backup file | 18:35 |

| pteague | m477: k, if you're still at a point asking for a driver, just add the `Driver "nvidia"` line to your xorg.conf & see if that works | 18:37 |

| koperton | quassel208: ?what's your problem ? | 19:08 |

| quassel208 | if i can get apt on other linux systeem | 19:08 |

| wad | I'm new to ubuntu... quick question on networking. It's connecting just fine to my wired and wireless networks, but I'm not sure how to connect to work via the vpn. I click the network icon on the panel, and it has a tab for VPN types of network connections, but the ADD button is disabled. What's up with that? | 19:22 |
| pteague | wad: is it the at&t vpn or does it use a standard vpn? | 19:23 |
| wad | pteague, hmm... Not sure. | 19:23 |
| wad | I think it's a standard one. | 19:23 |
| pteague | wad: with windows do you set it up via network connections or you have a whole program you install ? | 19:24 |
| wad | pteague, I never use windows. | 19:24 |
| wad | So I have no clue. | 19:24 |
| wad | I've been connecting to it via linux for the past 3 years. | 19:24 |
| pteague | ah, ok | 19:24 |
| wad | Here's how I've been doing it: | 19:25 |
| pteague | probably using openvpn | 19:25 |
| wad | with the program vpnc | 19:25 |
| wad | I have the old laptop here, so I can connect with it any time. | 19:25 |
| wad | (I'm moving to a new laptop, with Ubuntu this time) | 19:25 |
| wad | With Kubuntu (which I came from) I didn't use any of the provided networking tools, I wrote scripts to manually do everything. | 19:26 |
| wad | That's because the network manager under Kubuntu didn't work for whatever reason. | 19:27 |
| wad | But I'm giving Ubuntu a chance to do everything automatically.... so far, it's pretty simple. | 19:27 |
| pteague | wad: i'm guessing you used openvpn previously... you can search for vpn with your package manager... if you're specifically wanting the network manager to handle it i think you'll need network-manager-openvpn | 19:27 |
| wad | I just don't understand why the ADD button on the VPN tab is disabled. | 19:27 |
| wad | pteague, hmm. Okay, I'll poke at it. | 19:28 |
| pteague | possibly because the plugin for vpns hasn't been installed which may be that package... i hope | 19:28 |
| wad | ah, okay. | 19:28 |
| wad | I'll check the packages... | 19:28 |
| rafael | kurumin | 19:28 |
| pteague | if it's cisco you may need network-manager-vpnc instead | 19:28 |
| wad | Oh, I think it might be cisco... there were several ways we could connect to it. | 19:29 |
| wad | Ah, yes! It's cisco. | 19:29 |
| wad | Ah, perfect! Now I have an ADD button! Thanks pteage! | 19:31 |

| jschall_ | is there any way to fix it? | 19:34 |

| === Guest95988 is now known as bishopz | ||
| bishopz | so i can connect to pidgin via my shell? | 19:35 |
| AndyCrawford | there is a lib purple shell extension so you can get at purple (pidgin backend) features from shell, afaik | 19:35 |
| bishopz | ahhh tyvm | 19:36 |
| AndyCrawford | bishopz: And there is a command line version of Pidgin based on it. | 19:36 |
| pteague | gaim is now pidgin | 19:36 |
| bishopz | thanks guys brb | 19:36 |
| bishopz | oh one more thing!!! | 19:36 |
| bishopz | anyone know a decent ftp | 19:37 |
| jschall_ | konqueror | 19:37 |
| jschall_ | probably does it fine | 19:37 |
| pteague | konqueror | 19:37 |
| jschall_ | just use ftp:// sftp:// etc | 19:37 |
| bishopz | is it user friendly, ive seen it, never used it | 19:37 |
| pteague | what's that 1 opensource 1 that's good on windows? fireftp or something? | 19:38 |
| jschall_ | there's some mozilla one, idk what it is | 19:38 |
| jschall_ | windows explorer supports it! | 19:38 |
| jschall_ | i think | 19:38 |
| jschall_ | maybe | 19:38 |
| jschall_ | probably not very well... | 19:38 |
| jussi01 | fireftp isnt bad | 19:38 |
| patrizia | hi guys | 19:39 |
| jschall_ | there's also this really great one called ftp, you run it from the command line | 19:39 |
| AndyCrawford | bishopz: I use gftp | 19:39 |
| pteague | lol, windows is iffy, but doesn't support sftp afaik... except a particular job i held for 2 months i've not used ftp in several years... plain text password ftl | 19:39 |
| patrizia | just want to know, how can I make a shortcut of the games folder (or card games in specific) on the desktop or add a folder view for just that? | 19:39 |
| pteague | lol jschall_ | 19:39 |
| AndyCrawford | nice 2 panel (midnight commander style) ftp client that I use for all my hosting needs, it works well. | 19:39 |
| bishopz | andy: thanks im going to read into that as well | 19:39 |
| AndyCrawford | np | 19:39 |
| pteague | still not sure what midnight commander style is | 19:39 |
| patrizia | using kde4.2 btw | 19:40 |
| jschall_ | so anyway, flash, konqueror, doesn't work, does in firefox, any solution? | 19:40 |
| AndyCrawford | Konqueror will do ftp as well as other protocols, and is fine for a little use, but if you use ftp as much as I do, I need something more capable. | 19:40 |
| jschall_ | oh, forgot 64bit | 19:40 |
| AndyCrawford | Midnight Commander was an old shell program that gave you 2 file system views, left and right. | 19:41 |
| pteague | patrizia: i think you can just copy the *.desktop file from /usr/share to your ~/Desktop , but don't quote me on that | 19:41 |
| AndyCrawford | Many programs are modeled in that image | 19:41 |
| AndyCrawford | I don't generally like that. I like single windows, ala Windows Explorer style. But for ftp twin view is nice. | 19:41 |
| AndyCrawford | you can, if you have a .desktop file, E can use that. | 19:41 |
| jschall_ | on the subject of konqueror, it's really not ready for real use except on laptops until it supports mouse4/mouse5 back/forward | 19:41 |
| AndyCrawford | I don't have .desktop files for locations I wanted, nor many applications I wanted, so I just symlinked. | 19:42 |
| pteague | jschall_: i'm in the same boat... it seems flash works sometimes in konqueror, but not often... the fault lies with adobe i think as they've yet to produce a 64bit flash player... what we're really using is a 32bit wrapped flash player | 19:42 |
| AndyCrawford | jschall_: I agree. Konqueror or Dolphin, whatever modern KDE file manager, is not intended for major FTP work and the like. | 19:42 |
| tuxi | pteague: the 64-bit beta of flash 10 seems to work well for me | 19:43 |
| pteague | i'm still on kde3... i like the tree view that seems to have been around for forever in konqueror... anyways, with multiple tabs & 2 konqueror windows if i need a gui they work... i tend to use rsync over ssh though | 19:44 |
| patrizia | pteague I dont see a .desktop in there | 19:44 |
| patrizia | pteague yea I have no idea what you're talking about | 19:45 |
| patrizia | pteague ok I see the files but they arent organized in any way, no way to copy a shortcut of the menu option 'Games' ? | 19:46 |
| patrizia | I dont want to copy each shortcut one by one | 19:46 |
| === luger is now known as Valkyria | ||
| tuxi | patrizia: which version of KDE? | 19:47 |
| patrizia | 4.2 | 19:47 |
| tuxi | you could add a folder widget and put all the .desktop files in there | 19:47 |
| pteague | patrizia: sorry, i'm new to kde4 & i've not seen any .desktop files inside ~ unless i made them & kde4 doesn't seem to like drag & drop copy off of the kmenu | 19:47 |
| tuxi | look in /usr/share/app-install | 19:48 |
| patrizia | I dont want to copy stuff, I alredy saw the shortcuts | 19:48 |
| tuxi | sorry, the only options I see are copying or using symlinks | 19:49 |

| marko_ | but to me it looks so complex | 20:34 |
| marko_ | they say that i have to disable the composite extention | 20:34 |
| dr_Willis | If this is a new install.. You may want to try the next release - its being tested right now.. so it may be flakey, or it may work fine... | 20:34 |
| dr_Willis | disabling the composit extension - should be a exit to xorg.conf i think | 20:35 |

| marko_ | perhaps some better ideas? | 20:38 |

| dr_Willis | you could try the next relase of Ubuntu/Kubuntu if you want. | 20:38 |
| dr_Willis | or not use the fglrx drivers.. just use the 'ati' ones.. it will be slower.. but should work | 20:39 |

| Dr_willis | im not clear on the whole problem.. You may want to rephrase the issue to the channel. | 20:52 |
| Loctrice | ok, I'm a new linux user. I dont know all the details for the setup. I tried to get debian, as a 32 bit system, and I got a wierd pixel screen instead of a desktop. I switched to kubuntu because it said its easier for windows users to use. I used wubi to download it and install it (it being kubuntu). the load splash screen came up, but the desktop failed to load. I went back to the F1 terminal screen and it eventually rebooted the | 20:54 |
| Loctrice | on the F7 screen I get a flat blue screen. its not "pixelly" or anything, but it is just a blue screen | 20:55 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like yoru video drivers are not isntalled propelry. | 20:56 |
| Dr_willis | I wouldent use wubi either. :) but thats justme | 20:56 |
| SuspectZero | hey there. if i want to format what files wouldi have to save to keep my settings? | 20:57 |
| Dr_willis | #1 - determine your video card and chipset. would be the thing to do. | 20:57 |
| Loctrice | I'm not sure how to install them. I dont have an onboard video card, just a pci card | 20:57 |
| Dr_willis | SuspectZero: depends on what settings you want to save.. stuiff in /etc/ or stuff in /home/USERNAME/ | 20:57 |
| Dr_willis | Loctrice: onboard or pci.. dosent matter.. they are installed the same way.. once you determine what you got. | 20:57 |
| SuspectZero | you know what. that was a stupid question. i can redo everything i need. never mind | 20:58 |
| SuspectZero | thanks for the help though | 20:58 |

| rimvis | i used ubuntu and problem no have :) | 22:44 |

| wilbert_ | and the minutes? | 22:52 |
| alarm | what is the routers/modem model ? | 22:52 |
