| Mr_Grieves|| | Hmm, I ran sudo m-a a-i fglrx and it fails immediately with an empty build log. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Ace2017_- | it depends a lot on drivers though | 00:01 |
| Ace2017_- | !fglrx | 00:01 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:01 |
| iwantfool | guys every time i run alt+f2 and then synaptic it tells me that it doesn't run in administrative mode | 00:01 |
| iwantfool | what should i do? | 00:01 |
| Ace2017_- | gksu synaptic | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: use kdesudo synaptic | 00:02 |
| Ace2017_- | ActionParsnip: he is using gnome | 00:02 |
| Ace2017_- | hang on | 00:02 |
| iwantfool | so alt+f2 is not for admin | 00:02 |
| Ace2017_- | !ubuntu | 00:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Ubuntu comes with the GNOME interface. To install that from Kubuntu install the ubuntu-desktop package. | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Ace2017_-: i guessed kde as this is #kubuntu | 00:02 |
| Ace2017_- | alt+f2 is for running programs, whatever programs they may be | 00:02 |
| iwantfool | but not in admin mode | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | run it from the menus.. and i think it asks for the password first | 00:03 |
| Ace2017_- | ActionParsnip: yea, just thought you might like to know | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Ace2017_-: cool, ty | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | or use alt-f2 gksudo whatever | 00:03 |
| iwantfool | and why did you say gnome lacks functionality? | 00:03 |
| Ace2017_- | menus are so slow, you have to click like 3 times to get to stuff | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: add gksudo to the start of any app you want to run with admin access | 00:03 |
| iwantfool | btw apt-get upgade is still running | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | iwantfool | 00:03 |
| ubottu | iwantfool: 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) | 00:03 |
| iwantfool | ok | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | iwantfool: you dont want to run more then 1 package manager tool.command at a time | 00:04 |
| iwantfool | you mean sudo not gksudo | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | iwantfool: if you have never updated/upgraded that new install.. then it may take some time. | 00:04 |
| Ace2017_- | you might want to treat this install as a breakable one, backup everything | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: no i mean gksudo | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | I mean !sudo as in a bot command. :) | 00:04 |
| iwantfool | Ace2017_ gnome is more resource efficient | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: sudo is for cli apps ONLY, gksudo is for graphical apps | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | sudo can some times work for gui apps. :) but its best to not use it for them | 00:05 |
| iwantfool | ah ok | 00:05 |
| dr_willis | !info sux | 00:05 |
| ubottu | sux (source: sux): wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-4 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 64 kB | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: sudo for gui apps doesnt set up the environment correctly for grahical apps | 00:05 |
| iwantfool | i've never read that for kde applications | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: its standard in all *buntus and distros using sudo | 00:06 |
| Ace2017_- | dr_willis: whats the difference between sux and kdesu? sux newer, also better? | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | sux newer? the exact opposite.. | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | sux has been around since befor kde i belive.. :) | 00:06 |
| iwantfool | anyway i am waiting the upgrade to finish and then install the graphic card drivers from system->administration->hardware drivers | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | sux is not a gui interface. its a alternative to doing sudo -s, and fighting with the X credentials. | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | so you proberly dont need sux. :) but im used to useing it from years of ussage | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | But what if you were not using KDE or Gnome, so had neitehr kdesudo or gksudo? | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | :) | 00:08 |
| iwantfool | guys i heard it's not good to use both apt-get and synaptic | 00:08 |
| iwantfool | is it true? | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | iwantfool: they are both front ends to the same stuff.. | 00:08 |
| Ace2017_- | yes | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | so it dosent matter. it pays to learn apt-get | 00:08 |
| iwantfool | so yes or no... | 00:08 |
| Ace2017_- | learn to use aptitude aptitude | 00:08 |
| Ace2017_- | aptitude | 00:09 |
| iwantfool | okdude ;) | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | from what i gather now a days aptitude these days is not as needed as it once was.. and i HAVE had aptitude do some weird things | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | so i never use it | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | it once removed 300 packages.. then reinstalled them... | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | never did figure out why | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: you caan use any you like, just not at the same time as only one app can access the packages at one time | 00:09 |
| GWild | !apt-get | 00:09 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 00:10 |
| Ace2017_- | dr_willis: yea it likes to remove unrequired pacakges | 00:10 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Ace2017_-: That's the site I've been trying to use to get fglrx running, but it doesn't have instructions for 8.10 and the ones for 8.04 aren't working :/ | 00:10 |
| dr_willis | but these were required.. heh.. | 00:10 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | I've installed all the apt packages for fglrx, but module assistant isn't building it. Any ideas what I could still be missing? | 00:11 |
| Ace2017_- | Mr_Grieves||: first sudo m-a update, then m-a a-i fglrx | 00:11 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Ok. | 00:12 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | "Build of the package fglrx-kernel-source failed!" No luck -- and the log is empty | 00:13 |
| Ace2017_- | doesn't say why? do you have kernel headers installed? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Mr_Grieves||: kernel headers maybe | 00:13 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Heh that's probably it. I'm used to Gentoo, where if you don't have the headers, you don't have a kernel ;) | 00:14 |
| iwantfool | ok guys i think it got installed i need to restart | 00:14 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Is there a reason that the headers wouldn't be pulled in with the fglrx stuff? | 00:14 |
| iwantfool | how will i really know that my drivers got installed? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Mr_Grieves||: ubuntu is binary based so having only the binary is acceptable | 00:15 |
| Ace2017_- | iwantfool: what did you install? | 00:15 |
| iwantfool | drivers of video card | 00:15 |
| iwantfool | nvidia geforce | 00:15 |
| Ace2017_- | how? | 00:15 |
| Ace2017_- | reboot and run glxgears | 00:15 |
| iwantfool | from system->administration->hardware drivers | 00:16 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | ActionParsnip: But if the headers are needed to set up fglrx...? :) | 00:16 |
| iwantfool | and it found automatically that i needed them | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Mr_Grieves||: if the compile is failing then yes | 00:16 |
| iwantfool | so what happens when you run them? i can run them now... | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: glxgears is a poor 3d tester | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | iwantfool: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga | 00:17 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Hrm, the headers have been installed all along :/ | 00:17 |

| Mr_Grieves|| | Hrm it's not the headers -- any other ideas why module-assistant won't build fglrx? | 00:19 |
| Ace2017_- | ActionParsnip: nope | 00:19 |
| Ace2017_- | ActionParsnip: ubuntu so he used the auto installer thing | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | if he's using intrepid, yep | 00:19 |

| GWild | with a 6200 | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | GWild: my 6250 works awesome with 177 | 00:22 |
| Ace2017_- | well when you update to 180 you'll realise what you are missing | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | 6150 sorry | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | i tried the 180, it was horrible | 00:23 |
| Ace2017_- | 180.29? | 00:23 |
| Ace2017_- | 180.35 is broken | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | games ran not nearly as well as they did with the 177 | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Ace2017_-: how can I get 180.29 is .35 is out and will suprceed it? | 00:25 |
| GWild | ActionParsnip: Ya, could be a function of the other system hw. 177 gave me really bad 'vid lines' | 00:25 |

| Ace2017_- | i run fglrx now, used to use the onboard nvidia, about the same performance | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Ace2017_-: why are there 3 run files for 1 driver? | 00:28 |
| Ace2017_- | but i don't play games only run kde4 | 00:28 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | I never had this much trouble installing their drivers, though. I have the headers, everything with fglrx in the name, and module-assistant is still failing. | 00:28 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | And the lack of info in the log is probably the most frustrating bit. | 00:28 |

| iwantfool | so how do i check that the drivers of my video card are correctly installed? | 00:32 |
| Ace2017_- | glxinfo | 00:32 |
| Ace2017_- | and glxgears | 00:32 |

| k0pp | GWild, i believe so. | 00:35 |
| GWild | k0pp: k, thx | 00:35 |
| iwantfool | Ace that is not helping | 00:36 |
| iwantfool | come one... | 00:36 |
| Ace2017_- | iwantfool: run glxinfo in the command line | 00:42 |
| Ace2017_- | you're looking for: server glx vendor string: NVIDIA | 00:43 |
| Ace2017_- | also direct rendering: Yes | 00:43 |
| iwantfool | nvidia-settings | 00:43 |
| iwantfool | it's installed :) | 00:44 |
| iwantfool | that#s their interface to work with your card :) | 00:44 |
| Ace2017_- | run glxgears | 00:44 |
| iwantfool | it runs | 00:44 |
| iwantfool | but it runed even before the nvidia | 00:44 |
| iwantfool | so forget about that stupid program | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | :) its a speed test to see if the nvidia drivers are working | 00:45 |
| dr_willis | but glxinfo is a better tool for that. | 00:45 |
| Ace2017_- | has anyone run glxgears overnight? | 00:46 |
| Ace2017_- | dr_willis: is glxgears on nvidia and ati comparable? | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | glxgears shoudl work with both | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | ati has their own variant fglrx_gears i think | 00:49 |
| iwantfool | guys thank you very much :) | 00:49 |
| iwantfool | i owe you | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | its just shows fps.. not much of a test. :) | 00:49 |
| iwantfool | if you want anything just tell me | 00:49 |
| Ace2017_- | but can you compare fps vales on nvidia and ati? | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | glxgears is not a good benchmark | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | its just a test.. was it higher now then befor.. if you get a 5 befor and a 500000000000 now.. :) | 00:50 |

| dr_willis | First, the easy ones. All Pentium D processors (800 series) are x64 capable, as well as being dual core. All mobile Intel processors, including the new Core Duo processors, are not x64 capable. | 00:54 |
| dr_willis | I wonder if that ATOM is 64bit.. (i dont think it is) | 00:55 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Still no luck with fglrx :( | 00:55 |
| Ace2017_- | build-essentials? | 00:56 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Ace2017_-: it installed. Is there a way to install it without needing to run m-a? | 00:56 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | *it is installed | 00:57 |
| Ace2017_- | Mr_Grieves||: run m-a on its own, it'll give a console based gui | 00:57 |
| Ace2017_- | Mr_Grieves||: update, prepare, then install fglrx | 00:57 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | oK. | 00:57 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Ace2017_-: Still fails -- nothing in the log. | 00:58 |

| Mr_Grieves|| | Ace2017_-: yes | 01:28 |

| davidjheinrich_ | hello | 01:39 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | m-a is sending me in circles: http://pastebin.ca/1362923 | 01:42 |
| tkmr | Then when I re-install the drivers it works just fine. | 01:42 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | Ack, that was a bit long of a paste -- starting at about line 160 and down gives a good idea of what's going on. | 01:43 |
| Ace2017_- | Mr_Grieves||: what if you use the m-a console gui, and do the update, prepare and then select what you need and install? | 01:45 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | I've tried that with no luck earlier. I'm gonna take a break for a while, and try to recover some brain. Thanks for the ideas, Ace2017_- :) | 01:46 |
| Ace2017_- | ok, i'm off to bed, bye and good luck | 01:47 |

| MadEchidna | Does anyone know why I get no sound from firefox on my fresh install of kubuntu? I haven't even changed any settings | 03:12 |

| Ketrel | MadEchidna: does other things give sound? | 03:17 |
| carpii | what sort of sound does firefox normally make? o_O ? | 03:19 |
| MadEchidna | Ketrel: yes | 03:20 |
| MadEchidna | I just played some music in Amarok with no issues | 03:20 |
| MadEchidna | but when I watch youtube videos I can't hear anything | 03:20 |
| carpii | ok so its flash thats at faulot, not firefox | 03:23 |
| carpii | try | 03:24 |
| carpii | sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 03:24 |
| MadEchidna | Package libflashsupport is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 03:25 |
| MadEchidna | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 03:25 |
| MadEchidna | is only available from another source | 03:25 |
| MadEchidna | E: Package libflashsupport has no installation candidate | 03:25 |
| carpii | hrm | 03:25 |
| carpii | upgrade to flash 10 maybe? | 03:25 |
| MadEchidna | it's a fresh install of 9.04 | 03:26 |
| MadEchidna | it has flash 10 by default | 03:26 |
| carpii | oh ok | 03:26 |
| carpii | i know nothing of 9.04, sorry | 03:26 |
| MadEchidna | what are you using? | 03:27 |
| carpii | 8.10 | 03:27 |
| carpii | uh 8.04 i mean | 03:27 |
| MadEchidna | oh I meant 8.10 excuse me | 03:27 |
| MadEchidna | why are you using 8.04? | 03:28 |
| carpii | i upgraded to 8.10, but it removes kde 3.5 and installs kde 4.x | 03:28 |
| carpii | and i hate kde 4.x | 03:28 |
| carpii | so i rolled back | 03:28 |

| commander_ | how can i make my bottom panel be on top of the screen? | 05:00 |
| __mikem | I would like to give kde4.2 a spin. Whats the name of the package to install it? | 05:04 |
| goofey | commander_: kde 3.5 or 4? | 05:06 |
| __mikem | anybody? | 05:06 |
| commander_ | kde 4..the one with the white spots in the background | 05:06 |
| commander_ | i don't know if it's 4.2 | 05:07 |
| goofey | commander_: one sec - booting kde 4.2 in vm | 05:07 |
| __mikem | goofey, how do I install kde 4.2? I don't know the name of the package | 05:07 |
| goofey | __mikem: if somneone knows the answer to your question - they will answer you - please don't ask folks at random | 05:08 |
| __mikem | goofey, well I figured since you were booting into 4.2 to help commander_ you must have installed it, and therefore know how to install it | 05:09 |
| goofey | commander_: ok, if you click the half-moon the the right of the panel, a window slides open that allows you to resize - you can drag this window to the top (at least in 4.2 you can) | 05:10 |
| goofey | __mikem: you guessed wrong - this is an alpha install of jaunty - come with 4.2 already | 05:10 |
| __mikem | goofey, sorry :( | 05:11 |
| goofey | __mikem: which verson of kubuntu (or ubuntu) do you have? | 05:12 |
| commander_ | ok thanks | 05:12 |
| __mikem | goofey, intrepid | 05:12 |
| goofey | commander_: np | 05:13 |
| __mikem | goofey, nevermind, I found a site that helped http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-install-kde-42/ | 05:13 |
| __mikem | thanks | 05:13 |
| goofey | __mikem: I liked this link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-kde-42-stable-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html | 05:13 |
| doleyb | beardbar: i use skype, it works. | 05:13 |
| goofey | __mikem: enjoy - 4.2 seems pretty nice - FWIW, 4.2 will come with jaunty in 6 weeks or so | 05:14 |
| __mikem | hopefully it will be more stable than kde4.1 | 05:14 |
| __mikem | goofey, the repository and package is different in your link | 05:15 |
| __mikem | the site I linked to asked me to add a ppa repository and install something called kde-nightly | 05:15 |
| goofey | __mikem: kde nightly isn't stable (I think) - it's nightly builds - no gaurentee of stability | 05:16 |
| __mikem | goofey, its a good thing it wasn't done downloading | 05:16 |
| goofey | __mikem: :) | 05:16 |
| __mikem | thanks | 05:16 |
| goofey | __mikem: anytime | 05:17 |
| __mikem | the thing gave me a strange error about unmet dependencies | 05:18 |
| __mikem | http://pastebin.com/d6d20ced1 | 05:19 |
| __mikem | goofey, any ideas ^ | 05:20 |
| goofey | __mikem: I've not seen that before - sorry, i have no idea | 05:21 |
| goofey | __mikem: stick aorund, someone will know | 05:21 |
| __mikem | okay | 05:21 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: Kubuntu-desktop is a meta package for kubuntu which has the dependancies to all the packages which are part of the official Kubuntu release | 05:24 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, okay, so does that mean I should go back to installing from kde-nightly package? | 05:25 |
| Slartibartfast | If you install kde 4.2, which is not part of the official 8.10 release ... you will get unmet dependancies when you wawnt to install kubuntu-desktop | 05:25 |
| Slartibartfast | just don't install the package kubuntu-desktop, and you should be ok | 05:26 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, well, if I just want the bare bones KDE4.2, what package should I install? | 05:26 |
| Slartibartfast | Not sure, but if you have checked the backports/ unsupported updates option in Adept > Sources ... then your KDE will just update to KDE 4.2 ... | 05:27 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, I am on gnome right now, I just want to try out kde4.2. Havn't used kde since 3.4 | 05:28 |
| astrobear | so.. what i don't get.. in konqueror when i middle click to close a tab, i get an error message: "protocol not supported" | 05:29 |
| astrobear | what's the middle mouse button's function? | 05:29 |
| Slartibartfast | aahh ... well, just start installing kde packages then ... maybe the most handy in a konsole ... | 05:29 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: start with kdebase-workspace | 05:30 |
| astrobear | or.. | 05:30 |
| astrobear | the easiest way in ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 05:30 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, thatfailed | 05:30 |
| __mikem | god I hate this spacebar | 05:31 |
| astrobear | however __mikem, the default kde version for kubuntu intrepid is 4.1 which isn't quite kde 4.2 | 05:31 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: if you do in a terminal "dpkg -l kdebase* you will see which packages you can install | 05:31 |
| __mikem | kdebase-workspace depends on klipper, ksysguard, kde-window-manager, systemsettings, kdm, and kdebase-plasma | 05:32 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: And ? These won't get installed ? | 05:32 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, yes | 05:32 |
| astrobear | __mikem: take a look http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 to upgrade the default kubuntu kde version to kde 4.2 | 05:32 |
| __mikem | astrobear, I am trying to go from gnome to kde | 05:33 |
| Slartibartfast | astrobear: He is on gnome now | 05:33 |
| astrobear | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 05:33 |
| Slartibartfast | :-) | 05:33 |
| Slartibartfast | No | 05:33 |
| astrobear | why? | 05:33 |
| Slartibartfast | he want kde 4.2 .... not kde 4.1.4 | 05:33 |
| __mikem | http://pastebin.com/d5ddd1ba0 <-- Slartibartfast | 05:33 |
| Slartibartfast | kubuntu-desktop has unmet dependancies | 05:34 |
| astrobear | install kubuntu-desktop and follow the upgrade instructions | 05:34 |
| astrobear | right? | 05:34 |
| astrobear | i thought it was easy | 05:34 |
| Slartibartfast | astrobear: He followed somebody elses howto ... not the official one | 05:35 |
| astrobear | remove what you have, and then follow what i said | 05:36 |
| * __mikem is seriously considering just going with kde-nightly | 05:36 | |
| astrobear | don't ya think Slarti? | 05:36 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: maybe you need to uncheck the unsupported updates first .... do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ... | 05:36 |
| Slartibartfast | astrobear: you are right | 05:36 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, you mean uncheck and then do the sudo apt-get update thing | 05:37 |
| Slartibartfast | Yes | 05:37 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, and the option is under updates? | 05:37 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: Then you won't have the unmet dependancies when installing kubuntu-desktop | 05:37 |
| __mikem | it already is unchecked | 05:37 |
| Slartibartfast | Did you do "sudo apt-get update" ? | 05:38 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, I did the last time | 05:39 |
| __mikem | doesn't seem to have worked | 05:39 |
| Slartibartfast | Let me check that site what you followed ... seems you have something in your sources.list what should not be there | 05:40 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: delete "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main" from your sources list | 05:41 |
| __mikem | ok | 05:41 |
| Slartibartfast | and do after that "sudo apt-get update" | 05:42 |
| __mikem | ok | 05:42 |
| Slartibartfast | Then you should be able to "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 05:42 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, but it will be the older version? | 05:43 |
| Slartibartfast | Yes ... but this way will be the most easy | 05:43 |
| __mikem | okay | 05:43 |
| __mikem | okay, this'll take a while though | 05:43 |
| Slartibartfast | Yes | 05:43 |
| __mikem | oh well inthe mean time, I notice you have a slight douglas adams reference in your nick :) | 05:44 |
| astrobear | you noticed too :) | 05:44 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: The site you follow is already too old | 05:44 |
| Slartibartfast | KDE 4.2 is already in the backports ... | 05:44 |
| Slartibartfast | No need to get it from kppa.lanchpad.net | 05:45 |
| Slartibartfast | ppa | 05:45 |
| __mikem | so you are going to have me install 4.1, enable backports and then upgrade? | 05:45 |
| astrobear | ack, i need to sleep | 05:45 |
| astrobear | gl __mikem | 05:45 |
| Slartibartfast | Yes | 05:45 |
| __mikem | thanks astrobear | 05:45 |
| astrobear | thanks Slartibartfast for all you do | 05:45 |
| Slartibartfast | np | 05:45 |
| astrobear | takes a lot of patience for support | 05:45 |
| __mikem | I like the atmosphere in this channel much better than that in #ubuntu | 05:46 |
| astrobear | later guys | 05:46 |
| astrobear | yeah the guys here are great | 05:46 |
| Slartibartfast | Cya :-) | 05:46 |
| __mikem | 89% | 05:49 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: luckely you have a fast connection then :-) | 05:50 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, fast but not reliable :( | 05:50 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: after this you can do "sudo apt-get clean" .... no ned to keep this in you package cache | 05:51 |
| __mikem | okay | 05:51 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: will free up some space :-) | 05:52 |
| __mikem | I believe I have 20 gb on this partition | 05:52 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: i also have that for / on my PC .... more then enough ... but i have a separate /home | 05:53 |
| Slartibartfast | partition | 05:53 |
| __mikem | okay | 05:53 |
| __mikem | just finished, and did the clean | 05:53 |
| Slartibartfast | OK ... then check the unsupported updates .... | 05:54 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, okay | 05:54 |
| Slartibartfast | then refresh .... sudo apt-get update ..... maybe first need to close you GUI package isntaller | 05:55 |
| __mikem | did that | 05:55 |
| Slartibartfast | And then "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 05:56 |
| commander_ | my deskto peffects are not working. | 05:57 |
| commander_ | no rotating cube,wobbly windows,nothing | 05:58 |
| commander_ | help | 05:58 |
| Slartibartfast | commander_: You have the 3D capable driver installed ? | 05:59 |
| __mikem | if you are in vmware, it aint going to work period :( | 06:00 |
| commander_ | huh? where u get that? | 06:01 |
| Slartibartfast | "glxinfo|grep direct" .... shows "direct rendering: Yes" ? | 06:01 |
| Slartibartfast | commander_: "glxinfo|grep direct" .... shows "direct rendering: Yes" ? | 06:02 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, okay, upgrade's done | 06:02 |
| commander_ | where is that in the terminal? | 06:02 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, do I just restart X now? | 06:02 |
| Slartibartfast | OK ... Try it ... log out ... and choose KDE from your sessions menu in your GDM | 06:03 |
| Slartibartfast | Yes | 06:03 |
| __mikem | see you guys in a few :) | 06:03 |
| Slartibartfast | commander_: You open konsole and type "glxinfo|grep direct" .... | 06:04 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, that was a complete disaster | 06:07 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: working ? | 06:07 |
| __mikem | none of the windows had borders, none of the windows accepted keyboard input, and to make things worse, it was still kde4.1 | 06:08 |
| __mikem | so basically, no its not working | 06:08 |
| commander_ | S man i got it. i switched it to KDE | 06:09 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, did you get my response? | 06:11 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: Hmmm ... don't know where it went wrong .... yes | 06:11 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, well, first of all, its still kde4.1 | 06:11 |
| __mikem | I know that because the splash screen that comes up when you boot into it clearly says 4.1 | 06:12 |
| Slartibartfast | But it should have upgraded to kde4.2 ... what if you do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:12 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, won't that upgrade me to the alpha version of the next release? | 06:13 |
| __mikem | hey hateball | 06:13 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: maybe some packages are kept back from a normal upgrade | 06:13 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: No no | 06:13 |
| * hateball waves at __mikem, heads over to !ot | 06:13 | |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, so you want me to do apt-get dist-upgrade? | 06:14 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: for a real distupgrade you have to change all the intrepid entries in sources.list to jaunty | 06:14 |
| Slartibartfast | so just dist-upgrade now should be OK | 06:14 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: Yes sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:15 |
| __mikem | doing it now | 06:15 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: a lot more packages which get installed ? | 06:16 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: maybe you see the version numbers too | 06:16 |
| __mikem | a lot more got updated as well | 06:16 |
| Slartibartfast | OK | 06:16 |
| __mikem | don't see version numbers though :( | 06:16 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: the version numbers are part of the package name ..... | 06:17 |
| Salze | AFAIK the version numbers are not shown in the beginning, but first when the packages are downloaded (or even installed). | 06:18 |

| Slartibartfast | __mikem: :-) | 06:30 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: Nice to know it works now | 06:30 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, is it possible to enable the global menu at the top of the screen like you could in kde 3.4 | 06:30 |
| Slartibartfast | Yes .... right of the taskbar you see a cashew ... click it and you can configure the taskbar | 06:31 |
| noaXess | __mikem: you mean move kmenu on to of your screen? | 06:31 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, I'll see a what? | 06:31 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: OR you mean something like Gnome or Apple ? | 06:32 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, yes | 06:32 |
| Slartibartfast | right of the clock on the atskbar ? | 06:32 |
| Slartibartfast | taskbar | 06:32 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, I can't find the particular option | 06:34 |
| noaXess | i have configured dolphin with two view mode (left/rigth details).. allways i start dolphin the right view is focused, not the left one.. i don't see any option so set the left one as default.. any idea? hint? | 06:35 |
| Slartibartfast | You have clicked the "cashew" ? ... then a second bar opens on top of the taskbar ... then every element can be moved ... | 06:35 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: on the second bar you see screen edge ... grab that with the mouse pointer and move it to the top | 06:36 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, no thats not what I wanted. There used to be an option where all the menus that are assigned to each window would be consolidated to a single menu at the top of the screen that would display the options associated with the window currently in focus | 06:36 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: aaaaah ... something like apple os x. | 06:37 |
| __mikem | yes | 06:37 |
| Slartibartfast | __mikem: No i don't think that is still present in this KDE version | 06:37 |
| __mikem | why did they take it out :( | 06:37 |
| Slartibartfast | not sure though ... never looked for it | 06:37 |
| Slartibartfast | maybe because it was not very high on their priority list | 06:37 |
| __mikem | oh well, atleast kde is cool again | 06:37 |
| Slartibartfast | if you have 3D driver for your graphics ... you can already enable some effects | 06:38 |
| __mikem | Slartibartfast, I already have all the effects I need | 06:38 |

| Tm_T | ActionParsnip1: depends on settings, again (;) | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tm_T: i'd say xfce was lighter than anything kde can do | 08:31 |
| Tm_T | ActionParsnip1: I'd say it depends on settings, I run KDE4 with 128 MiB ram, no swapping until I run Firefox AND apt at the same times | 08:31 |
| Tm_T | -s | 08:31 |
| Tm_T | really, KDE is not necessarily any heavier than others (: | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tm_T: Ii understand settings play a large part but if something is designed for a task and that task presents itself then it will be the natural choice | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | like lightweight DEs | 08:33 |
| Tm_T | it's just defaults more suitable to "normal desktop usage" than to light environment | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | true | 08:34 |
| Tm_T | ActionParsnip1: still doesn't mean they would work any better, really | 08:34 |
| JustSleepy | anyone know how to change so that when opening konqueror, it doesn't open in fullscreen? | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tm_T: and for a standard user, they will most likely use the defaults, dont you think | 08:34 |
| Tm_T | anyway, Greenery yes KDE4 works fine, especially if you have patience on trying different settings, but yes LXDE might be lighter by default in most cases (: | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | happy average, i like it | 08:35 |
| Greenery | any idea if Kubuntu developer going to make an optimised version of Kubuntu for netbook? | 08:35 |
| Tm_T | ActionParsnip1: I assume so, I never see defaults myself but most people live with em I think | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Greenery: you could even install kde then install a lighter front if you like kde apps | 08:35 |
| Tm_T | Greenery: prolly is not needed, unless your netbook has less than 256 MiB ram | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JustSleepy: i dont use konqueror so couldnt comment dude, is it for file or web browsing or do you use it as both/ | 08:36 |
| * linuxonmac hugs fluxb0x | 08:36 | |
| Greenery | thanks for the heads up, will think about it further | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | fluxbox is sweeeeet | 08:36 |
| Tm_T | Greenery: anyway, I haven't seen any netbooks that couldn't run KDE4 just fine, it has been running in phones too | 08:37 |
| linuxonmac | blackbox/fluxbox are great | 08:38 |
| Greenery | yeah I saw that it works on nokia phones | 08:38 |
| Greenery | probably the internet tablet version ones | 08:38 |
| Tm_T | Greenery: those and some other brands entirely | 08:38 |
| Tm_T | but but.... #kubuntu-offtopic (;) | 08:38 |
| JustSleepy | ActionParsnip1: I use it for web browsing.. but since I cannot figure out how to change settings so that it won't always open in fullscreen.. I think I should just install firefox >.<' | 08:38 |
| linuxonmac | written in C lightweight and nice | 08:38 |
| Tm_T | JustSleepy: perhaps you have to save your preferred window size in the session? | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JustSleepy: hit F11 | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linuxonmac: they lack the nice gui apps that new users like, newbs are terrified of conf files | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JustSleepy: if once doesnt do it, try a few times | 08:40 |
| JustSleepy | F11 works, but its still annoying if it always opens in fullscreen | 08:40 |
| Tm_T | JustSleepy: see what I said | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JustSleepy: once it restores, hold ctrl+shift and click the close button | 08:41 |
| JustSleepy | I went to system settings and it has the same, but F11 doesn't work.. nice | 08:41 |
| linuxonmac | ActionParsnip1: True, but I have always liked fluxbox :P | 08:42 |
| Tm_T | linuxonmac: and that is offtopic, please | 08:42 |
| javi | hi | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linuxonmac: me too, and lxde | 08:43 |
| Tm_T | JustSleepy: I believe your problem is that your Konqueror session has that fullscreen windowsize saved, so prolly saving your preferred settings would help | 08:43 |
| Tm_T | ActionParsnip1: and same to you (;) | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hehe | 08:44 |
| linuxonmac | Tm_T: right, I should probably try and work on getting any kind of opengl ss not to crash X :( | 08:46 |

| noren | hi all | 10:40 |
| JabberWokky | noren: Howdy, noren | 10:41 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: somebody | 10:42 |
| noren | well i was going to make an data partitionn want advice on fat 32 or ntfs | 10:42 |
| chris-rc1 | my problem is that the version that ships with intrepid cannot play bin files, whereas the old versions could (as can the recent win version) | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: fat32 is not robust, if its for linux only use ext3 | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: if its a shared area between linux and windows, use ntfs | 10:43 |
| noren | i got 150 gb of free space | 10:43 |
| chris-rc1 | noren: you could also use ext2/3 and instal ext2IFS on windows so you can read/write on them from there | 10:44 |
| noren | ActionParsnip1: theres no option for ntfs in the gparted ?? | 10:44 |
| noren | i think ext3 is better than ntfs, but anyone have ever tried this new ext4 partition | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: apt-cache seach ntfs | grep tool | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: you need the ntfs tools | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: then you can, personally id boot to windows and format it | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: if you are using pure linux then you have no reason to use ntfs | 10:48 |
| noren | is ext4 only in developmental /test phase | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | afaik, yes | 10:48 |
| chris-rc1 | can somebody play .bin files in vlc? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: if you create a cue file for it can you play that? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: theres also this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-282288.html (read the last post) | 10:51 |
| JabberWokky | ext4 stable went out at the very end of last year. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: you could also use b2chunk to convert it to an iso which is much easier to work with system wide | 10:51 |
| JabberWokky | But "stable" versus "enough people have used it to trust it with *my* data" is a different story. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tried and test ext3, the reliable friend | 10:52 |
| noren | !mount | 10:53 |
| ubottu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or !QtParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 10:53 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: none of this works. bchunk and cdd2iso produce junk for some reason (the isos can be mounted, but the file seems corrupted), and having a cue file does not make a difference | 10:53 |
| noren | chris-rc1: i play those file in vlc without any truoble | 10:53 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: i know the thread, but none of the suggested solutions work | 10:53 |
| JabberWokky | Bin/CUE is usually used for DCA formats, which cannot be stored in ISOs. | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: mplayer apparently can play it, maybe you could mencode / ffmpeg to convert. I dont use vlc myslef I find it slow and bloated | 10:54 |
| chris-rc1 | noren: what distro (version) and what version of vlc do you have? | 10:54 |
| JabberWokky | As an iso is a data CD (well, assuming a CD iso image). | 10:54 |
| JabberWokky | What is your goal? | 10:54 |
| noren | chris-rc1:ubuntu8.10 | 10:54 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: the point is that it used to work, now it doesn't. a bit like kaffeine | 10:54 |
| JabberWokky | And ActionParsnip1 is right -- mencoder can convert it, but are you trying to burn, play, convert... | 10:54 |
| JabberWokky | chris-rc1: Ah, you're just trying to figure out why your preferred player can't play the format? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: well the videolan guys are coding away and maybe dropped the functionality from the linux version | 10:55 |
| chris-rc1 | i just want to play it with vlc, which can play .bin files natively | 10:55 |
| chris-rc1 | in theory at least | 10:55 |
| JabberWokky | (...when it used to)? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: if you try play the cue file in vlc does it work? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: in theory, everything works ;) | 10:56 |
| chris-rc1 | the recent win version does, the wiki says it should if compiled against some libraries (which it is according to vlc --version), and it did in hardy, i believe (it's been a while) | 10:57 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: no, it doesn't :-( | 10:57 |
| JabberWokky | Is it VCD? | 10:58 |
| chris-rc1 | yes | 10:58 |
| JabberWokky | VCD support in VLC is broken. | 10:58 |
| chris-rc1 | why is that | 10:58 |
| JabberWokky | As in, they aren't supporting it, apparantly. | 10:58 |
| JabberWokky | Ask VLC. | 10:58 |
| chris-rc1 | no, they are | 10:58 |
| JabberWokky | They say "If your bin images contain VCD material, then the problem is that. Nobody wants to maintain VCD support and because of that VCD support is partially broke" | 10:58 |
| JabberWokky | This is as of Feb 26 this year. | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: use mplayer | 10:58 |
| chris-rc1 | it is in the wiki, and the win version has no prob at all | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mplayer is awesome | 10:59 |
| JabberWokky | Win version is probably a trailing version. | 10:59 |
| JabberWokky | ActionParsnip1: Yes, yes it is. | 10:59 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: doesn't work either, because no matter what bin/cue file i take, the isos are junk | 10:59 |
| chris-rc1 | JabberWokky: well, of course you can see everything from a 'positive' light, but i doubt it is 'trailing' | 11:00 |
| JabberWokky | chris-rc1: Try a VLC support forum. It really does look like they have issues with VCD. | 11:00 |
| JabberWokky | chris-rc1: Trailing, as in it hasn't been broken yet due to code updates that have affected the VCD support. | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: even winth mplayer <binfile> | 11:01 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: it actually works with the bin file, but not with the isos | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: then use that | 11:04 |
| noren | how to search which repos sud i have for mkvtoolnix | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: apt-cache search mkv | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: if it doesnt come up you need extra repos | 11:06 |
| noren | says invalid search option | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: apt-cache search tool | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren: apt-cache search tool | grep mk | 11:07 |
| chris-rc1 | ActionParsnip1: if only now it wouldn't give me 'audio codec cannot be found' error :-( well... | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: then find out what codec it needs and you're golden | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | chris-rc1: have you installed w[32|64]codecs from medibuntu ? | 11:20 |

| beardbar | im giving up on my sound card, does anyone know a list of well supported sound cards for kubuntu? | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | beardbar , to check your soundcard try this , maybe we can help if we know which it is, aplay -l | 13:05 |
| beardbar | its a sounblaster x-fi pci express, ive spent a week on it. tried oss and asla nothing works | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | ok, what have you done so far , beardbar ? | 13:07 |
| Saul1 | can someone tell me why when I go into User and Groups I cant click on Add User | 13:07 |
| beardbar | ive following the oss tutorial, ive tried the beta x-fi driver from creative for asla. | 13:07 |
| beardbar | BluesKaj: aplay -l returns martin@electronics.demon.co.uk | 13:08 |
| beardbar | my email address | 13:08 |
| beardbar | yay | 13:08 |
| beardbar | it returns aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found... | 13:09 |
| BluesKaj | ok, lspci | grep audio | 13:09 |
| beardbar | BluesKaj: 03:0a.0 Audio device: Creative Labs SB X-Fi | 13:11 |
| kanon-mat | Saul1: do you have admin rights? | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | beardbar, let's try setting your default sound card : asoundconf set-default-card "Creative Labs SB X-Fi" | 13:12 |
| Saul1 | Kanon - I believe so, how can I check? | 13:13 |
| beardbar | BluesKaj: okey dokey done that | 13:14 |
| BluesKaj | beardbar , what player are you using, amarok ? | 13:15 |
| beardbar | ya | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | You've done alsamixer in the terminal and unmuted the relavent ctrls ? | 13:16 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | beardbar: Hrm, so no way to get wireless working without X running? | 13:17 |
| beardbar | bluesKaj: actually i just uninstalled oss, havent had a chance to reinstall my asla packages | 13:18 |
| Mr_Grieves|| | beardbar: Sorry :) That wasn't really directed at you | 13:18 |
| beardbar | bluesKaj: whats the package to grab everything again for alsa? | 13:18 |
| BluesKaj | beardbar, alsa is acyully default in the last few releases , so it should still be installed | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | actually | 13:20 |
| beardbar | no because oss hase you purge everything alsa and then blacklist em | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | OSS and pulsaudio give nothing but greif to most setups | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | err grief | 13:20 |
| beardbar | BluesKaj: I have un blacklisted also just now so just need to install also again - your telling me, finally decided to make the switch to linux since gimp finally got better then photoshop. everything is working accept my audio | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | beardbar , alsa-base is the pkg you want | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | gimp is better than photoshop ? ... wow now there's a revalation :) | 13:22 |

| BluesKaj | seku, yeah, if you can get it towork in 8.10 without breaking X | 13:35 |
| seku | what does that mean? | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | 8.10 is so dependent on HAL that editing Xorg.conf is practically impossible | 13:36 |

| joshjtl | hey all, what browser do you all use? | 14:09 |
| joshjtl | i'm considering going back to firefox since i'm not very happy with qt based browsers | 14:10 |

| joshjtl | i like arora, but its too simplified for me | 14:13 |
| dwidmann | genii: are you using qt 4.4 or 4.5? | 14:13 |
| kanon-mat | maybe i could mail gmail and opera, for them to kiss and make up | 14:14 |
| joshjtl | theyre not that bad together, in comparison to konqueror and gmail | 14:14 |
| joshjtl | i wish konqueror would shape up | 14:14 |

| joshjtl | yes | 14:15 |
| kanon-mat | i mainly use ff for gmail and for editing a wikipage of mine | 14:15 |

| rabindra | noren: i used system settings. -> ...................... -> filesystems........ | 17:17 |
| rabindra | this is the error: Return code from mount was 32. mount failure | 17:17 |
| wallshot | this may be an obscure thing nobody is familiar with, but it seems when i boot up jaunty on my thinkpad with the external LCD, it starts up in 1024x768, despite display settings for external set to 1280x... | 17:17 |
| rabindra | if harddisk is corrupted, isn't there anyway to recover the data | 17:17 |
| wallshot | but then when i open system settings and go to Display, it resets to 1280 automatically | 17:17 |
| wallshot | annoying having to open display settings every day after logging in to set rez to desired previously chosen value | 17:18 |
| wallshot | with other os's i just tweaked xorg.conf with line like: Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" and it'd go with highest available for the device, but i'm trying to do things the kubuntu way without hacking up my confs in vi | 17:18 |
| wallshot | rabindra: often, there is no way. sometimes you can get lucky, but dependign on how hosed the fs is due to corruption, it may take delicate combing over the entire disk image for useful data, which might be harder than most people can do | 17:20 |
| wallshot | oh... they quit ... | 17:20 |
| wallshot | it's all about asking a question then /quit 2 mins later | 17:20 |

| wallshot | good morning, ActionParsnip | 17:22 |
| ActionParsnip | its just gone 5pm dude :) | 17:22 |
| josh-l | what are you kubuntu users using for image editing? gimp? or krita? | 17:23 |
| josh-l | or other? | 17:23 |
| wallshot | when i used freebsd/kde i used kolourpaint and krita iirc... when i get around to image editing in kubuntu i'm pretty certain i'll use the same tools | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | josh-l: kolourpaint | 17:25 |
| josh-l | okay | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | josh-l: its rocking | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | kolourpaint is similar to mspaint | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | :D:D | 17:25 |
| wallshot | kolourpaint is what i go to for almost all things basic like resizing, cropping, adding arrows or circles to screenshots, etc | 17:26 |
| josh-l | ActionParsnip: is there a metapackage for kubuntu that install kde image editing tools do you know? | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | josh-l: apt-cache search image | grep -i edit | 17:26 |
| wallshot | i believe it's usually wrapped into a package called kdegraphics for most systems | 17:27 |

| ActionParsnip | josh-l: no idea, just install apps you need rather than a metapackage with a load of fluff you might not use | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | wallshot: yep, use that with apt-get and you have the functionality of synaptic but better | 17:39 |

| domas_ | hello | 17:43 |
| josh-l | hey folks, gotta pretty serious problem here, running Kubuntu Jaunty, I can't shutdown, or reboot, when I try I eventually get to a screen with "Will now halt *" and then I have to ctrl+alt+del out of that. | 17:48 |
| josh-l | help? | 17:50 |
| wirechief | josh-l: did you try shutdown -h now in a terminal ? | 17:50 |
| Slartibartfast | josh-l: for jaunty discussions go to #ubuntu+1 | 17:50 |
| josh-l | Slartibartfast: ok | 17:51 |
| josh-l | wirechief: no think i should? | 17:51 |
| wirechief | josh-l: well if i was trying to shutdown and reboot thats what id do | 17:51 |
| Slartibartfast | josh-l: can be a buggy nvidia driver | 17:51 |
| wirechief | the now might be /now | 17:51 |
| josh-l | Slartibartfast: not using nvidia | 17:51 |
| Slartibartfast | OK | 17:52 |
| wirechief | are you using ati | 17:52 |
| josh-l | wirechief: no intel | 17:52 |
| wirechief | ok | 17:52 |
| Slartibartfast | josh-l: anyway, i think you better should discuss this in #ubuntu+1 | 17:53 |
| josh-l | #ubuntu+1 suggested I try adding acpi=force at kernel line on boot | 17:53 |
| josh-l | any thoughts on that? | 17:54 |
| Slartibartfast | josh-l: can try that out ... add in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 17:54 |

| boitata | <demi> Either way using KDE4.2 has been giving me nothing but troubles, especially everytime i reboot my screen resolution goes to 1600x1200, then when I go into display it shows 1280x960 and refreshes right away... happens every restart and is annoying as heck, anyone had that prob yet? | 19:31 |
| boitata | <__mikem> shadeslayer, either it doesn't work or I don't know how to use it :\ | 19:31 |
| boitata | <shadeslayer> __mikem: at least for me | 19:31 |
| boitata | <kanon-mat> what are u looking for, mado? | 19:31 |
| boitata | <boitata> shadeslayer, shut up not | 19:31 |
| boitata | <ActionParsnip> mado: i dont know what you issue is so me reading that is pointless | 19:31 |
| boitata | <mado> line 483 for example | 19:31 |
| boitata | <__mikem> demi, KDE4.2 has been peaches and cream for me so far | 19:31 |
| peaches | __mikem: it all changes once you start to use it | 19:32 |

| * shadeslayer is lost | 19:32 | |
| __mikem | stdin, I think he made it back in before the ban | 19:32 |
| sorteal | demi : I've had 0 problems out of KDE4.2 but I'm using it in Mandriva and they customize it quit a bit. Still using 3.5.10 in Kubuntu | 19:32 |
| __mikem | peaches, lol at your nick and the ironic unintended highlight | 19:32 |
| stdin | __mikem: good thing ban == mute :) | 19:32 |
| __mikem | stdin, I thought that was only true if it began with the % token | 19:32 |
| mado | boitata, i'm not sure but line 483 looks like an error to me ... what do you say? | 19:32 |
| shadeslayer | __mikem: the lancelot widget works flawlesly | 19:32 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: any other ideas?? | 19:33 |
| seku | mado: try another usb port | 19:33 |
| __mikem | shadeslayer, yes, the launcher works flawlessly, but there is another widget called "lancelot part" | 19:33 |
| victim | how do I fsck all my partitions? | 19:33 |
| demi | yea im on 3.5 now in kubuntu, i still like the looks of the new 4.2, but still probs for me. | 19:33 |
| shadeslayer | __mikem: i have it :P | 19:33 |
| seku | mado: and other devices | 19:33 |
| stdin | __mikem: the only difference is that a mute lets you join the channel, both will stop you from sending to the channel | 19:33 |
| __mikem | stdin, oh | 19:33 |
| mado | seku, erm ... i don't get it at the moment ... | 19:34 |
| __mikem | shadeslayer, Lancelot Launcher works fine, but I can't make heads or tails of Lancelot Part | 19:34 |
| mado | on my father's computer there are two usb-hubs ... | 19:34 |
| mado | do these usb-hubs cause the error? | 19:34 |
| mado | seku, ? | 19:34 |
| shadeslayer | __mikem: me neither,nor does it work i think | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: can you manually mount? | 19:34 |
| shadeslayer | __mikem: i think #kde will have a better idea | 19:35 |
| __mikem | shadeslayer, very few of the configuration options are actually exposed :\ | 19:35 |
| kanon-mat | "error" in dmesg isnt always serious | 19:35 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: now it cant find cdrom or scd0 | 19:35 |
| mado | is there a way to filter that stuff kanon-mat ? ... like ... all the messages that have something to do with "usb" | 19:36 |
| seku | mado: i don't know... i'd dig up what that 110 is | 19:36 |
| kanon-mat | !pipe | 19:37 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pipe | 19:37 |
| kanon-mat | :( | 19:37 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: maybe i forgot to mention that i use powertop as well,which disables hal | 19:38 |
| kanon-mat | mado: u can "pipe" commands, feeding them through eachother :) | 19:38 |
| kanon-mat | dmesg | grep usb | 19:38 |
| mado | kanon-mat, thank you | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: maybe thats causing issues | 19:38 |
| kanon-mat | look up pipe and redirection, its very useful | 19:39 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: so basically i enable hal?? how?? | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: start it in /etc/init.d is my guess, not sure as ive never disabled it | 19:40 |
| pyroben92 | hi | 19:40 |
| shadeslayer | ill just run powertop to see what it edits then | 19:40 |
| pyroben92 | can you read this? | 19:40 |
| shadeslayer | yes | 19:41 |
| pyroben92 | sweet | 19:41 |
| * shadeslayer hates sweet things | 19:41 | |
| pyroben92 | I love sweet things | 19:41 |
| mado | oh come on guys and gals ... some boys / girls are sweet / cute :)) | 19:42 |
| mado | and what about pudding or chocolate? :) | 19:42 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: maybe i can mount it to another place?? | 19:42 |
| mado | ok ... sorry! | 19:42 |
| pyroben92 | well i gtg ttyl | 19:42 |
| shadeslayer | uh i have 3 lines to paste,here or pastebin?? | 19:43 |
| genii | 3 should be ok | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: sure, you can ount anywhere you wish except in /proc | 19:43 |
| shadeslayer | Suggestion: Disable 'hal' from polling your cdrom with: | 19:43 |
| shadeslayer | hal-disable-polling --device /dev/cdrom 'hal' is the component that auto-opens a | 19:43 |
| shadeslayer | window if you plug in a CD but disables SATA power saving from kicking in. | 19:43 |
| shadeslayer | sorry closed the wrong window | 19:44 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: so what do you think?? | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: sure, you can ount anywhere you wish except in /proc | 19:45 |
| shadeslayer | uh no about hal | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: not sure, not played with it | 19:45 |
| seku | you're forgiven =) if you tell me where to start troubleshooting "network management" thing can't establish a connection (but dhclient by hand can) | 19:45 |
| demi | Gonna retry running kubuntu 9.03, see ya | 19:46 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: nope | 19:47 |
| genii | seku: If you have some entry in /etc/network/interfaces for a device, the networkmanagaer will believe it is manually configured and not do anything with it | 19:47 |
| shadeslayer | so now my question changes to : has anyone played with hal?? | 19:47 |
| seku | i shouldn't have... let me check. | 19:47 |
| seku | nope | 19:48 |
| * shadeslayer looks at the list of 128 devices to figure which one is his CDROM | 19:49 | |
| kanon-mat | is it /dev/scd0 ? | 19:49 |
| * stdin would look at what /dev/cdrom points to | 19:50 | |
| === giuseppe is now known as Guest42404 | ||
| genii | seku: Alternately you can also use that file to specify something like: auto eth0 and underneath:iface eth0 inet dhcp (if eth0 is the name) | 19:50 |
| genii | seku: Then that will override the networkmanager | 19:50 |
| seku | that i do... and remove the thing from taskbar ^^ | 19:51 |
| seku | thanks | 19:51 |
| genii | seku: np | 19:52 |

| seku | mado: lkml might be the place to look for. You can put site: directive to google | 19:56 |
| noren | hi all | 19:56 |
| mado | what is "lkml" seku ? | 19:56 |
| seku | linux kernel mailing list | 19:57 |
| seku | .org | 19:57 |
| mado | uhuu ... i see | 19:57 |
| mado | thank you :) | 19:57 |
| seku | well, the other place to find it is probably source :D | 19:57 |
| mado | well ... but i'm just a beginner ... i don't know anything about this seku :)) | 19:58 |
| seku | me neither... i just read what all the smart guys write ^^ | 19:58 |
| jtisme | anyone know of a opensource web ide I need to do some web work for a friend | 19:59 |
| shadeslayer | I came back to tell you one thing,the CD mounts in GNOME | 19:59 |
| seku | btw, if you put the error message to google in quotes, google searches for that exact thing | 19:59 |
| seku | without it just searches those words | 19:59 |
| seku | and site:lkml.org searches just from lkml.org | 19:59 |
| shadeslayer | figure that out | 20:00 |

| tekteen | mado there is | 20:03 |
| tekteen | !es | 20:03 |

| samira | Kubuntu upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 locked up Adept Manager, what should i do | 20:11 |
| samira | Kubuntu upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 locked up Adept Manager, what should i do | 20:11 |
| xjjk | samira: don't reboot... | 20:12 |
| samira | i did unfortunately ! | 20:12 |
| xjjk | samira: mmm | 20:13 |
| xjjk | well, try running update manager again | 20:13 |
| samira | i turned off my laptop then turned on | 20:13 |
| samira | how | 20:13 |
| samira | i was just updating my kubuntu 7.04 | 20:14 |
| samira | then it stoped | 20:14 |
| xjjk | er, updating, or upgrading from 7.04->7.10? | 20:14 |
| samira | yes | 20:14 |
| samira | then i cliked on upgrade | 20:14 |
| samira | then it failed | 20:14 |
| samira | then i couldn't enter the adept manager | 20:14 |
| xjjk | where there any errors? | 20:14 |
| samira | it says database is locked | 20:15 |
| xjjk | you should just be able to run adept/update-manager again | 20:15 |
| mado | seku, ... whom should i write what exactly in LKML ? | 20:15 |
| samira | i can't | 20:15 |
| xjjk | samira: do a quick check... open a terminal, and run: | 20:15 |
| xjjk | ps aux | grep adept | 20:15 |
| xjjk | ps aux | grep apt | 20:15 |
| xjjk | ps aux | grep dpkg | 20:15 |
| xjjk | verify nothing is running | 20:15 |
| samira | ok | 20:15 |
| samira | i have to run these lines one by one? | 20:16 |
| xjjk | yes | 20:16 |
| mado | seku, ... you ... the usb-problem ... | 20:16 |
| samira | so i entered first line and the result is as below | 20:16 |
| samira | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavail able) | 20:17 |
| samira | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another proc ess using it? | 20:17 |
| mado | how can i write those guys and gals on LKML ? ... and what exactly should i tell them? seku | 20:17 |
| xjjk | samira: hrm, useful, but you won't get those messages if you ran the commands I gave you | 20:17 |
| kanon-mat | what are u trying to do with usb, mado? | 20:17 |
| xjjk | the commands I gave you check whether something is running or not | 20:17 |
| kanon-mat | kernel developement is maybe not the first step | 20:18 |
| mado | kanon-mat, it's just the same thing i mentioned earlier ... i don't really know what the whole thing means ... and ... | 20:18 |
| kanon-mat | does ur usb work? | 20:18 |
| mado | i don't know what i should do | 20:18 |
| kanon-mat | if it works u dont have to do anything :) | 20:19 |
| mado | kanon-mat, -> here ... check this out ... and can you help me so that i can find out if the things are working? -> http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/691 | 20:21 |
| tmeixner_ | where do I change the start/stop system sounds in ? The default sounds like a bird walking over a casio keyboard. | 20:21 |
| kanon-mat | if you put an usb device in, can u access it? | 20:21 |
| mado | one thing though ... this computer has two scanners connected via usb ... i can only see one kanon-mat | 20:21 |
| tmeixner_ | kde that is. | 20:21 |
| seku | mado: I'm not sure it belongs to the list, but if you post it, provide your dmesg and relevant hardware info. If you are sure the thing isn't broken and your usb works fine other than that... | 20:22 |
| mado | well ... i found the "printer" in this kde-menu ... i'm now trying to print a page | 20:23 |
| mado | ok ... printer works fine ... mouse too ... | 20:24 |
| mado | that makes two usb-things work :) | 20:24 |
| seku | a high speed device? | 20:24 |
| mado | now i will try the others ... | 20:24 |
| mado | seku, i don't know :) | 20:24 |
| seku | mado: it's not exactly a support forum, but if everyhting should be fine it might be a bug =) and if not its a good excuse =) | 20:26 |
| mado | erm ... ok ... printer works fine ... mouse too ... the two usb-hard-disks can be mounted ... | 20:30 |
| mado | now for the scanners ... what is the default scan-ocr-program in kubuntu 8.10 with kde4 installed? | 20:31 |
| mado | or asked differently ... | 20:31 |
| mado | how can i check the scanners are working fine seku ? | 20:31 |
| mado | because i can't see "kooka" seku | 20:33 |
| serox | Hi! | 20:33 |
| serox | I just plugged in a microphone into my laptop. | 20:34 |
| serox | I plugged into the mic-slot. | 20:34 |
| serox | But I don't know how to make it work. | 20:34 |
| xjjk | mado: I think the name of the KDE4 scanning application is skanlite | 20:34 |
| serox | Can somebody maybe help me | 20:34 |
| serox | ? | 20:34 |
| ivanatwork | serox: you have to open your audio mix | 20:35 |
| mado | xjjk, ... ok ... i'll check that | 20:35 |
| genii | mado: gimp or xsane should still work | 20:35 |
| serox | ivanatwork: I have kmix open. | 20:35 |
| xjjk | mado: yah, actually, personally I use gimp/quiteinsane | 20:36 |
| cTn | http://pastebin.com/d2303fd56 | 20:36 |

| josh-l | hey folks, trying to install kdegraphics-kde4 but apparently "No candidate version found for kdegraphics-kde4" whats up with that? | 20:37 |
| serox | ivanatwork: What should I pick in "settings"? | 20:38 |
| genii | josh-l: If you're not on a mixed kde3/kde4 box the name is likely just kdegraphics without the -kde4 | 20:39 |
| josh-l | oh ok | 20:39 |
| mado | well ... how do i start the scanning-process with quiteinsane xjjk ? ... is it complicated? ... because i can't let my father do complicated stuff on the computer :) | 20:40 |
| josh-l | genii: do you know what libikipi5 is? | 20:40 |
| dumonde | ö | 20:40 |
| josh-l | apparently installing kdegraphics will remove libkipi5 | 20:40 |
| xjjk | mado: by itself, via the 'quiteinsane' command | 20:40 |
| xjjk | mado: I usually use it through GIMP... and while I've not used it, I think it's best to use skanlite | 20:41 |
| xjjk | that's the KDE4 app that's supported | 20:41 |
| genii | josh-l: I don't know what that is offhand. But it could be looked up at packages.ubuntu.com | 20:41 |
| mado | ok ... that's not complicated ... but my father needs some stuff with a gui | 20:42 |
| mado | skanlite does not find a scanner | 20:42 |
| xjjk | mado: hr | 20:42 |
| xjjk | hrm* | 20:42 |
| xjjk | mado: did quiteinsane find it? | 20:42 |
| cTn | i have one free bonus invite frop dropbox, is anyone interested? | 20:43 |
| mado | well ... i hope so ... quiteinsane is currently searching for them :) | 20:43 |
| xjjk | cTn: you need invites for dropbox? | 20:43 |
| serox | ivanatwork: I don't find it =/ | 20:44 |
| mado | nope xjjk ... unfortunately no scanner can be found by QuiteInsane | 20:44 |
| xjjk | mado: yah, that's a problem | 20:44 |
| mado | but how can this be? ... | 20:44 |
| cTn | xjjk: nope, i need to invite one more person, so i fill my invitations bonus limit, and that person also receives +250mb bonus, so both ppl are happy | 20:45 |
| mado | at least the epson-scanner worked fine with kooka under kde3.5.10 :) xjjk | 20:45 |
| xjjk | mado: I'm not the one to diagnose this, so my advice is worth salt | 20:45 |
| xjjk | cTn: er, thought you only get the 250MB+ increase if the invite/referral became a paying customer | 20:45 |
| cTn | xjjk: nope, both customers and normal users receive this bonus | 20:45 |
| xjjk | cTn: ah, neat | 20:46 |
| mado | well then ... any idea what i should do? | 20:46 |
| xjjk | cTn: I'm interested... been wanting to play with this | 20:46 |
| xjjk | mado: what kind of scanner is it? USB? | 20:46 |
| xjjk | mado: is the scanner compatible with Linux? | 20:46 |
| ivanatwork | serox: There is a File menu then an "Impostazioni" (Options perhaps?) menu, then an Help Menu. Use the Options Menu --> Configure Channels | 20:47 |
| mado | actually there are two scanners connected with this computer ... | 20:48 |
| mado | 1) hp scanjet 5500c ... and it looks like linux found a similar one in "lsusb" ... | 20:48 |
| mado | 2) epson perfection 1200 u ... | 20:48 |
| mado | the second one's the one that already worked before xjjk | 20:48 |
| xjjk | mado: and it finds neither? | 20:49 |
| mado | yep ... neither the hp nor the epson :) ... although a "hp" with a wrong "number" is listed in "lsusb" | 20:50 |
| mado | xjjk, | 20:50 |

| serox | ivanatwork: Thanks alot for your help! | 21:05 |
| xjjk | grep scanner /etc/group | 21:05 |
| serox | ivanatwork: I did that | 21:05 |
| xjjk | mado: Ubuntu definitely installs grep | 21:05 |
| mado | uuh ... xjjk ... found the error for not finding the command :) | 21:05 |
| ivanatwork | serox: you're welcome ;) | 21:05 |

| josh-l | does the kubuntu team plan on fixing koffice for jaunty? | 21:11 |
| goofey | josh-l: I'm not aware of any attempt by kde to replace gimp | 21:12 |
| goofey | josh-l: what's wrong with koffice? | 21:12 |
| xjjk | goofey: don't think it's about replacing gimp, more about providing kword/etc | 21:12 |
| josh-l | goofey: it doesnt install on itrepid, or jaunty for that matter | 21:12 |
| josh-l | right its not about replacing gimp at all | 21:12 |
| goofey | josh-l: ok, let me rephrase - is there a kde equivalent to gimp? no | 21:13 |
| goofey | josh-l: does it work in kde 4.x on other distros? | 21:13 |
| goofey | josh-l: koffice that is, not gimp. :) | 21:13 |
| josh-l | i dont know to be honest, but i would expect that koffice does work with kde4 since thats what kde4 has as its current version | 21:14 |
| Noughmad | I have KOffice on Jaunty... | 21:14 |
| Noughmad | and it's working | 21:15 |
| xjjk | josh-l: it doesn't install? | 21:15 |
| goofey | josh-l: ahh, ok, I was just trying to figure out if it's a kde or kubuntu issue | 21:15 |
| xjjk | josh-l: it seems to for me, on jaunty however | 21:15 |
| xjjk | 1.6.3 | 21:15 |
| Noughmad | ahh, 2.0 works | 21:16 |
| josh-l | Noughmad: how did you get 2.0? its not in the jaunty repos i dont think | 21:18 |
| Noughmad | it is | 21:18 |
| Noughmad | josh-l: koffice-kde4, version 1.9.98.7 | 21:19 |
| josh-l | i'm so glad adept was replaced, not that I dont usually use cli... but still at lease kpackagekit is usefull | 21:19 |

| xjjk | anyone else try synapse? that new Qt/Mono IM client | 21:21 |
| xjjk | http://synapse.im/ | 21:21 |
| xjjk | it's pretty neat | 21:21 |
| xjjk | has some interesting features too | 21:21 |
| Noughmad | josh-l: krita works, the package in krita-kde4 | 21:21 |
| Noughmad | xjjk: what does it have over Kopete? | 21:23 |
| xjjk | Noughmad: looks a bit slicker... the integration stuff, mostly | 21:23 |

| josh-l | damnit i want koffice 2 | 21:29 |

| khashayar | I'd like to rebuild kdebase-workspace in order to have google gadgets support in plasma. Any ideas which dependency I need to add to debian/control? (I asked in #kubuntu-devel, but had no reply) | 21:30 |
| josh-l | well apparently http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 koffice 2 wont work with kde 4.2 + intrepid | 21:31 |
| josh-l | I cant use kubuntu jaunty, because it wont reboot, or shutdown for me | 21:31 |
| josh-l | lame | 21:32 |
| Noughmad | try kubuntu-experimental | 21:33 |
| Noughmad | https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-experimental/+archive/ppa | 21:33 |
| Noughmad | I think they have a later version, not sure though | 21:33 |
| josh-l | Noughmad: for what just for koffice 2? or will i have to upgrade the entire os? | 21:33 |
| Noughmad | just for the koffice | 21:33 |
| josh-l | i'll try it | 21:34 |
| Noughmad | no, sorry | 21:34 |
| josh-l | huh? | 21:34 |
| Noughmad | it says No matching package for 'koffice-kde4'. | 21:34 |
| josh-l | how about for koffice? | 21:34 |
| demi | Hey all, im using 0.03 Jaunty atm, and is there anyway to manual install my fglrx video driver, because the HArdware Driver program is trying to activating a Fire GL Driver, and not the Radeon Driver? | 21:35 |
| josh-l | Noughmad: just koffice ? no kde4 perhaps? | 21:35 |
| Noughmad | nope | 21:35 |
| demi | errr 9.03 Jaunty release..... | 21:36 |
| josh-l | ah hmm | 21:36 |
| josh-l | well i guess i'll just have to wait | 21:36 |
| demi | Anyways like KDE3 to manual pick what driver im needing? It's odd it's trying to pick up a fire gl one. | 21:36 |
| Noughmad | josh-l: probably | 21:36 |
| Noughmad | demi: I have the same problem, i tried usivg envyng but it didn't work | 21:37 |
| demi | You using Alpha 6 as well? | 21:38 |
| Noughmad | yep | 21:38 |
| demi | gay man, they better fix that by next release lol, i was happy to get it up and running, now it's picking the wrong video driver=\ | 21:38 |
| astrobear | i'm trying to get strigi and nepomuk to work | 21:38 |
| Noughmad | astrobear: install soprano-backend-sesame | 21:39 |
| astrobear | i went to the nepomuk/strigi server config in system settings.. "enable nepomuk semantic desktop" is already selected, and after selecting "enable strigi desktop file indexer".. | 21:39 |
| astrobear | oh | 21:39 |
| astrobear | okay | 21:39 |
| Noughmad | :) | 21:39 |
| astrobear | anyway, i clicked it and it doesn't work | 21:39 |
| astrobear | had to manually start the daemon and client | 21:40 |
| astrobear | but i'll install that now :) | 21:40 |
| Noughmad | so did I, several times, then I read the developer's blog | 21:40 |
| astrobear | soprano-daemon is what's listed in apt | 21:40 |
| Noughmad | no sesame? | 21:41 |
| astrobear | and it's already installed | 21:41 |
| astrobear | no sesame | 21:41 |
| Noughmad | uhh, I think it's only available in Jaunty | 21:41 |
| astrobear | "then I read the developer's blog" the nepomuk or kubuntu blog? | 21:41 |
| astrobear | argh | 21:41 |
| Noughmad | the nepomuk | 21:41 |
| * astrobear wonders.. | 21:41 | |
| astrobear | how stable is jaunty? | 21:41 |
| astrobear | probably stable enough | 21:42 |
| astrobear | compared to kde 4.0 :) | 21:42 |
| Noughmad | I find it very stable | 21:42 |
| astrobear | jaunty it is then | 21:42 |
| Noughmad | ati driver doesn't work and Kontact, but it never crashed on me yet | 21:43 |
| astrobear | kontact doesn't work? | 21:43 |
| Noughmad | kontact has startup issues, no big deal | 21:43 |
| Noughmad | I just worded that strangely | 21:43 |
| Noughmad | it wont start on startup | 21:43 |
| astrobear | o.O | 21:43 |
| astrobear | that's a big deal | 21:43 |
| astrobear | so kontact doesn't work | 21:44 |
| Noughmad | is it really that hard to click an icon to start it? | 21:44 |
| astrobear | if it doesn't start, then clicking an icon isn't going to help :P | 21:45 |
| Noughmad | no no | 21:45 |
| * astrobear has hope! | 21:45 | |
| astrobear | ... | 21:45 |
| Noughmad | it doesn't start when you start the computer | 21:45 |
| astrobear | ooooh | 21:45 |
| astrobear | not a problem | 21:45 |
| Noughmad | sorry for confusion | 21:45 |
| astrobear | w00t, jaunty here i come | 21:45 |
| thebe | Hello | 21:45 |
| astrobear | np | 21:45 |
| astrobear | hi thebe | 21:45 |
| thebe | I am using kubuntu but I don know how to connect to wireless network?? | 21:46 |
| thebe | I had tried to find it out, but never got, | 21:46 |
| astrobear | right click on the green glob in the taskbar, do you see any connections there? | 21:46 |
| astrobear | globe* | 21:46 |
| thebe | you mean in system tray?? | 21:47 |
| astrobear | yes | 21:47 |
| thebe | thereee are option like eth0, create new connectiion deactivate etc | 21:48 |
| thebe | I have tried to find out there but I did not | 21:48 |
| astrobear | okay, so it isn't detecting any wireless connections. | 21:48 |
| astrobear | that's as far as i go :P | 21:48 |
| * astrobear is useless now, for thebe | 21:48 | |
| NiTz | thebe: you can drop to a terminal "konsole" window and type sudo iwconfig and see if there is anything on your system supporting wireless extensions | 21:49 |
| thebe | if i keep mouse over that device notification, then it displays "Eth0, activated" | 21:49 |
| astrobear | eth0 is your wired connection | 21:49 |
| astrobear | ..typically | 21:49 |
| NiTz | thebe: you would normally see wlan0 for wireless | 21:49 |
| thebe | there is no device supporting wireless extensions | 21:49 |
| thebe | l0,eth0 and pan 0 only no wlan 0 | 21:50 |
| NiTz | thebe: Your card is not supported then | 21:50 |
| thebe | driver problem?? | 21:50 |
| NiTz | yep | 21:50 |
| NiTz | Find out what card you have and google that puppy for Linux support | 21:50 |
| thebe | but i have kubuntu 8.10 | 21:50 |
| thebe | okay | 21:51 |
| astrobear | oh, oh! jaunty has a new software manager!! | 21:51 |
| astrobear | that makes me very happy | 21:51 |
| NiTz | yeah, jaunty rocks | 21:51 |
| thebe | thanks | 21:51 |
| astrobear | ack, it uses quassel. my irc logs are going to be even more split | 21:51 |
| thebe | i will try | 21:51 |
| astrobear | oh, well. quassel has a screen like feature so that's very nice | 21:52 |
| astrobear | don't have to use proxies | 21:52 |
| BluesKaj | quassel is ok , just kinda boring looking | 21:52 |
| NiTz | using quassel now and never used it before, always used xchat | 21:52 |
| NiTz | not bad | 21:52 |
| astrobear | i donwloaded it a few weeks ago, it's missing quite a lot of features that konversation has | 21:52 |
| NiTz | true | 21:53 |
| astrobear | probably because it's new to the scene | 21:53 |
| astrobear | on second thought, i'm going to hold off on the upgrade | 21:53 |
| astrobear | i like amarok 1 and konversation | 21:53 |
| BluesKaj | I prefer to have differnt coloured nicks in the chat text but dunno if that will be available soon. My understanding is the devs are working on it. | 21:53 |
| JontheEchidna | I personally build the kde4 konversation from source | 21:54 |
| JontheEchidna | it's pretty good | 21:54 |
| NiTz | I build amarok from source | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | amorok2 is a mess ..trying too hard to look like a Vista app | 21:54 |
| astrobear | bah, it's in the beginning stages of being a great player | 21:55 |
| astrobear | just like kde | 21:55 |
| astrobear | kde4* | 21:56 |
| iain | hi I'm having some trouble with kubuntu 8.04. I cannot see certain menu items or label on buttons in a few applications, things like digikam 0.94, this program, and things like plasmoids (network manager is one)... what or where should I start to look to fix this? | 22:00 |
| NiTz | iain: Have you performed all the updates? There have been problems of late with all that you have mentioned | 22:01 |
| JontheEchidna | iain: http://forum.kde.org/-solved-blank-menus-t-37060.html | 22:01 |
| JontheEchidna | NiTz: the drivers that fix the issue are in Kubuntu 9.04 by default | 22:02 |
| javier | hola alguien que hable español | 22:02 |
| NiTz | Oops sorry, I thought iain wrote 9.04 | 22:02 |

| petr | hello, i have got a problem, my main toolbar - the one with e.g. quit-cross - disappeared. can sbd help me? :D | 22:30 |
| eamonn | Hey, I have a small problem, that probably has an obscure but simple solution. | 22:31 |
| petr | i really need help, i am not absolutely lamer, but this is the biggest problem for me :D i really tried to find the solution, but its up to my powers... :-/ | 22:33 |
| eamonn | Whats your problem Petr? | 22:33 |
| petr | hello, i have got a problem, my main toolbar - the one with e.g. quit-cross - disappeared. can sbd help me? :D | 22:34 |
| eamonn | You have a 2 button mouse? | 22:34 |
| eamonn | (or more) | 22:34 |
| petr | yep | 22:35 |
| petr | (thx 4 your time ;) ) | 22:35 |
| eamonn | Right click on the desktop and click 'configure desktop' | 22:35 |
| eamonn | I'll see if theres a way to get to the panel editor from there | 22:35 |
| petr | thx, ill wait :) | 22:36 |
| eamonn | nope | 22:36 |
| eamonn | In an ideal world, there'd be a way so that every option had a tool-tip that showed the bash command that is run when clicking it. | 22:36 |
| eamonn | Or something analagous to it... | 22:36 |
| eamonn | For example, there is certanly a command that configures your desktop. It would certanly help us lay people learn BASh. | 22:37 |
| petr | i tried to find something like you talk about, but a was looser in this fight :D | 22:37 |
| eamonn | You can't see the panel at all? | 22:37 |
| XPS_M1330 | someone told me about this command-line program, it makes suggestions on how to reduce power consumption. I can't remember its name. can someone tell me what it is? | 22:38 |
| eamonn | Never 'erd of it. | 22:39 |
| astrobear | can someone help me get flash working in konqueror? also, while typing the web address, when i hit ctl-a to select all the text, the browser instead selects all the text in the webpage. and when in gmail, when composing a message, when i hit ctl-a to select all the text, it instead highlights all the text around the message composition area, like the links and whatnot :P | 22:39 |
| XPS_M1330 | it suggested to change something on my cdrom and now it's all screwed up | 22:39 |
| XPS_M1330 | cant remember what I changed | 22:39 |
| astrobear | and, if i'm typing a long message, i can't highlight from the bottom and scroll to the top of the message, highlighting the entire message. the only possible and highly inconvenient way is to hold the lmb, and at the same time scroll up with my mouse wheel. it would be better to click with lmb and move the mouse upward | 22:40 |
| eamonn | Astrobear: Go to adept, search for "flashplugin". Flashplugin nonfree works. | 22:40 |
| astrobear | okay, will do | 22:40 |
| astrobear | oh wait | 22:40 |
| astrobear | i do have that | 22:40 |
| astrobear | i've already installed it | 22:40 |
| eamonn | And it won't work? | 22:40 |
| astrobear | i have libflashplayer.so | 22:40 |
| astrobear | right | 22:40 |
| petr | eamonn: i have got a little problems with english - what your pre-last clause mean... :-/ should I write BASh into any command line...? | 22:40 |
| astrobear | and my last konqueror issue: the middle mouse button to close tabs doesn't work, i've selected the feature in the settings. | 22:41 |
| eamonn | BASh is basicly the command line :) | 22:41 |
| eamonn | My latest conquerer issue: its a browser that is used by > 1% of the market! | 22:41 |
| astrobear | sadly yes | 22:42 |
| astrobear | and sadly flash isn't open source | 22:42 |
| petr | eamonn: okey, but in my BASh theres also no toolbar... | 22:43 |
| astrobear | konqueror has things going for it though, it isn't your typical browser. it's integration with kde is wonderful, and it's great for kde devs | 22:43 |
| XPS_M1330 | can I reset the cdrom hardware config to default somehow? | 22:43 |
| petr | i thought... my english is better.... :D | 22:43 |
| astrobear | anyway, i'll idle and hope someone can help me | 22:44 |

| ActionParsnip | hey guys, is their a lightweight DE based on Qt? | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gtk is to xfce as qt is to..... | 23:38 |
| contrast | ActionParsnip: last i heard, the guys who developed kxdocker were supposed to be working on one. not sure if anything ever came of it. | 23:39 |
| contrast | i know it's not qt-based, but have you tried e17 _lately_? | 23:42 |
| sy | i like to know some can help me for my compter | 23:42 |
| contrast | hrmm... "sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a" doesn't seem to be working to fix apt. should it be safe to just remove /var/lib/dpkg/lock? | 23:43 |
| contrast | sy: yes...? | 23:43 |
| sy | how do i instal cd ubuntu in my compter | 23:43 |
| contrast | sy: do you want to keep windows installed, or just wipe it out and only have ubuntu? | 23:44 |
| sy | only heve ubuntu | 23:45 |
| contrast | assuming you've already backed up any data you mean to keep, just double-click the Install icon and when it asks you about partitioning, select "Use entire disk". the rest is pretty self-explanatory | 23:46 |
| contrast | sy: are you running from the live cd now? | 23:46 |
| sy | no, i want to start it tomorrow | 23:47 |
