dwidmann(my typing sucks as much as usual today)01:20
FanfareQ: how do i find out what rep requires 9423A34CCA967634 key?01:20
dwidmannseems it's a high hit on google, has to do maybe with amarok201:21
tsimpsongpg: key CA967634: public key "Launchpad PPA for Kubuntu Members - KDE 4 Repository" imported01:22
dwidmannno, more generic, it's the kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu ppa01:22
dwidmannI think01:22
dwidmannhttp://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu01:22
dwidmannand tsimpon gets there first01:23
dwidmann(and with the better answer no less)01:24
Fanfaretsimpson: whats the command to get that info? Not to import!01:24
dwidmannI'm going to assume gpg --list-keys01:25
tsimpsonFanfare: I just imported it into a dummy account I have, but http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x9423A34CCA967634&op=vindex finds it too01:25
dwidmannor maybe something related to that01:25
dwidmann(and I bet I'd be wrong too)01:26
tsimpsonhttp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/ just put 0x in front of the key and hit search01:26
tsimpsonactually "Submit"01:27
dwidmann wait, what about "sudo apt-key list"01:27
Fanfarehm, ok, thx... to clearify. i had all keys imported, but now update found a missing key i couldnt find. that made me courious01:28
tsimpsondwidmann: I'm guessing that it's apt that saying it can't find the key, so apt-key list wouldn't list it01:29
dwidmannhmmm, true enough01:29
dwidmannI'm way off the mark today ... I need to do something productive to focuse myself01:29
Fanfareisnt list only to list imported?01:30
dwidmannI think so01:30
dwidmannthat's the point tsimpson was making anyway01:30
BluesKajI always have missing kets ...who cares as long as the apps work  :)01:30
BluesKajkeys01:30
Fanfareok, one more is it possible to have multiple keys for one repo???01:31
FanfareBluesKaj: its just to have somebody to blame if something gets wrong :-)01:31
Fanfare(irony off)01:31
rmrfslash_Well... Kubuntu 4.2.2 looks worse from a animation standpoint.01:32
dwidmannBluesKaj: there's a way to override it bugging you about them01:32
rmrfslash_:(01:32
dwidmannrmrfslash_: worse than what?01:32
tsimpsonFanfare: each repo should only have one key01:32
rmrfslash_4.2.001:33
tsimpsonand, as far as I know, can only have one01:33
rmrfslash_I just upgraded and now everything looks choppy01:33
BluesKajmaybe , but i have no clue , except delete the repos afterwards and hope the app gets ported to the universe/mulitverse etc01:33
rmrfslash_from the splash screen fadeout to the desktop switching01:33
rmrfslash_I'm using XRender compositing01:33
rmrfslash_not sure if that makes much of a difference01:34
rmrfslash_probably does01:34

Fanfareseems i forgot them...01:36
dwidmannBluesKaj: think it's something like APT{ Get{ AllowUnauthenticated "true"; } }01:37
tsimpsonFanfare: for the neon PPA ?01:37
dwidmann wait, need semicolons after } and } too ...01:38
progenitusHello folks, this might be a stretch but whatever. Anyone has an idea on how to set the media key speed on a Dell Inspiron 13 laptop? Using Ubuntu the keys were set correctly... I read there is a Gconf file for it but I have no clue where to look...01:41
Fanfaretsimpson: yeah, i was sure i had imported the neon keys but i must have been wrong...01:41
tsimpsonyou can see https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%20to%20your%20Ubuntu%20repositories for information on importing keys from PPAs01:42
Fanfareprogenitus: repeating speed on kde? systemsettings keyboard01:43

lemonyi have an ext2 with 98mb, swap with 509mb, and ext3 with 22997 mb04:46

Any ideas what I can do to fix it?04:47
lemonyi know one of them is just /04:47

agamorning  guys04:50
dwidmann!swap | lemony04:50
ubottulemony: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info04:50
lemonyso does it matter if this swap is left over from my previous os?04:51
lemonyor will i have to delete it and create a new one04:51

lokaiGuest67869: Doesn't sounds good14:55
Nielsenperhaps it's checking your windows partition14:55
lokaiah, ntfs14:56
Nielsenyeah14:56
Guest67869lokai: why is that what is that mean andwhat i have to do??14:57
lokaiGuest67869: Well it sounds like its scanning your windows partition, which has the NTFS filesystem, which cannot be mounted by linux (by default). This isn't a problem, and it is working as intended.14:59
lokaiI don't know why anything is scanning anything, though.14:59
trulliI don't know if that is considered as a bug or just colateral damage during Beta-Stage. But I gues todays kernel update kicked my grub.15:01

Guest67869lokai: ntfs-3g and ntfs-config15:34

Guest67869Guest67869: ok the check on startup is this becouse of the error on the ntfs partition on there is another broplem on the root partition and gives me error like files couldnt read and renamed to ............15:38

dejihello everybody16:18
tacosarecoolI installed a new java how do I get it working in my browser?16:18
dejiHave you more than one java installed in your computer?16:19
tacosarecoolno16:19
dejiThen, it's good16:19
tacosarecoolBut I still have problems should I uninstall the one from synaptic16:19
dejiwhere was the new one?16:20
tacosarecoolin the java directory16:21
trappisthow can I, from the command line, get the length in seconds of a video file?16:21
progman2hey guys, if I write an app under ubuntu, will it be able to run under any linux distro?16:22
progman2same question, what if it's a library (.a) file?16:22
trappistprogman2: depends on how you compile it and what the dependencies are.16:23
dejitacosarecool: what is the error message?16:23
tacosarecoolNo error message16:23
tacosarecoolI just can't get it enabled16:23
trappistprogman2: if you require a version of a library that may be a different version on another distro, might want to statically compile that lib into your app rather than linking to it16:23
progman2trappist, no dependencies other than STL and generic C++ stuff16:23
progman2gotcha16:24
trappistprogman2: I dunno what STL is, but libstdc++ etc should be pretty stable across distros16:24
progman2would like the opengl libraries be different?16:24
dejiprogman2: you want to code in opengl?16:25
progman2I guess in any case, I should just statically link my app16:25
progman2yea16:25
trappistprogman2: I don't know anything specific about gl programming, but no, if it's the kind of library you could find different versions of across distros, it'll need to be compiled statically if you want it to run on other distros16:25
dejiwhat kind of code?16:25
progman2im porting code from my work to linux because a client of ours needs it on linux, I don't know what distro they are using, but I am using ubuntu16:26
progman2I wasn't sure if it mattered16:26
progman2im not a linux expert by any means :)16:26
trappistprogman2: it likely matters.  sounds like your best bet is just statically compile.16:26
progman2Ok16:26
dejifor open gl you can try mesa library, you can find it on every distro16:27
trappistif you don't need it to perform terribly well16:27
dejitrappist: yes but poorting for specific material is easy after16:28
progman2isn't there just standard opengl libraries?16:28
trappisttrue, just gotta keep in mind there's a tradeoff16:28
trappistprogman2: yeah but not every distro will have it, and if they do you can't necessarily count on them being compatible with each other16:28
tacosarecoolI can't get java working ..(16:29
progman2but if I use them and statically link them, I should be cool16:29
tacosarecoolIs there a chatroom for java?16:29

jason_froebeyou could write a script to unmute it whenever you plug it in (udev)18:28

jason_froebebut you're right, it should be handled automagically18:29

illmortalHere's my paste bin when I sudo kmix: http://pastebin.com/m38ba989121:46
JamesCI have extracted a few rar archives through the context menu inside Dolphin, and now in the sys tray there remains 4 process of these .rar archives that are stuck at 0% and will not go away. How can I cancle these jobs?21:53
JamesCI have already killed all Ark processes.21:54
tsimpsonillmortal: don't run GUI applications with sudo, use kdesudo21:54
illmortalhm... ok21:56
tsimpsonillmortal: btw, there are no "errors" there, so don't change the permissions21:57
tsimpsonthat's just because you're using sudo not kdesudo21:57
illmortalok :D21:57
JamesCwhat is kblueplugd?21:57
amgarchIn9how do I dump the content of pubring.gpg in some readable form?21:57

MamarokamgarchIn9: gnupg --fingerprint?21:58

=== paolo is now known as alexxx
amgarchIn9Mamarok: that is not my pubring, a guy sent to me "pubring.gpg" instead of "encryptedfile.gpg" and things that is how it should be22:00
=== alexxx is now known as alexx76
amgarchIn9*thinks22:00
Mamarokoh, then try gpg -d22:01
Mamarokalso, *.gpg should not be used for encrypted files22:02
amgarchIn9Mamarok: you sure? gpg --encrypt puts the output by default into *.gpg22:04
amgarchIn9gpg -d pubring.gpg: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.22:04
Mamarokok, then maybe he did something wrong22:05
amgarchIn9gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.922:05
Mamaroknot unlikely he actually encrypted with his own secret key...22:06
amgarchIn9Mamarok: what is that "gpg2" that I see mentioned sometimes?22:07
Mamarokthat is a newer version, 1.4.9 is pretty old AFAIK22:07
Mamarokbut it is the default in Kubuntu22:08
Mamarokgpg2 musst be around 1.9.something IIRC22:08
zkrebsis jaunty stable enough to upgrade to22:22
sorush20keep never works for me what am I doing worng here is the error I get. An error occured making /media/Linux home/sorush4 backup:22:23
sorush20Fatal Error: Destination directory /home/sorush2/Documents exists, but does not look like a rdiff-backup directory. Running rdiff-backup like this could mess up what is currently in it. If you want to update or overwrite it, run rdiff-backup with the --force option.22:23
yoritomoanybody made a deb for 8.10 of Nvidia Nouveau project driver ?22:24
yoritomoreally to difficult to compile it22:25
zkrebsre: yoritomo - https://launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/ppa22:29
yoritomohow to use it ? is it sources too ?22:31
yoritomoneed to compile ?22:32
zkrebsadd the sources for your version of ubuntu (intrepid/jaunty) and then use apt-get in term22:32
zkrebsi am not an expert on the nouveau driver..i personally tried it once or twice and it never worked22:32
zkrebsthe Nvidia driver is vastly superior at this point AFAIK22:33
yoritomowhich file do i need to download ?22:35
yoritomoit is 2 files for intrepid22:35
yoritomoi can't do driver compilation22:37
yoritomoi think i will wait 9.0422:37
zkrebsoh i see, then this isn't going to work for you22:37
zkrebsunless you went to another box or environment and built your own debs or something22:38

tacosarecoolyour sound is muted?22:52
tacosarecoolillmortal where'd you get the flash from? synaptic?22:52
tacosarecoolyou can also install manuall22:52
tacosarecooly22:52
illmortalYa I believe it was through synaptec.22:53
illmortalshould I uninstall it and re-install it differently?22:53
victimif [ `arch` != "x86_64" ] && (echo $PLATFORMS | grep amd64 &>/dev/null); then22:54
victimwhat is arch?22:54
zkrebshahah "your sound is muted"22:56
zkrebs"my computer doesn't work" - .."is it plugged in?" - "no"22:56
illmortalo.O;...22:57
illmortalI can listen to music on Amarok but can't listen to the sound on flash.22:58
zkrebsclose amarok, restart browser, play flash - can you hear sound?22:59
zkrebsthe dismal state of linux audio sometimes prevents two apps from playing sound simulatenously22:59
