rob__ | Fan: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is EMPTY | 00:41 |
Fanfare | line 79 !!! only multiverse? remove that line or comment it out | 00:42 |
BluesKaj | rob , it's /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:42 |
dwidmann | here's a significantly less messy sources.list, if you want one, rob__: http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/147294/ | 00:43 |

joshjtl | hey folks, trying to build something from source, need to find out what my kde installation directory is | 00:43 |
Fanfare | a rep line must start with deb or deb-src | 00:43 |
rob__ | Fan: Then save? | 00:43 |
Fanfare | a comment must have # in first column. | 00:44 |
rob__ | ok | 00:44 |
JontheEchidna | joshjtl: /usr in Kubuntu 8.10 and up | 00:44 |
Fanfare | yeah, remove/comment 79 then save | 00:44 |
PhilRod | joshjtl: kde-config --prefix | 00:44 |
rob__ | removed 79 | 00:44 |
joshjtl | JontheEchidna: just /usr ? | 00:44 |
JontheEchidna | yes | 00:44 |
joshjtl | ok thx | 00:45 |
joshjtl | anyone use raptor menu perchance? | 00:45 |
Fanfare | rob__: ok, run sudo apt-get update in console | 00:45 |

Fanfare | rob__: u need to be root to edit :- try sudo >your fav editor> /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:46 |
rob__ | the error was in KATE | 00:46 |
Fanfare | sudo kate file | 00:47 |
rob__ | ok. I am a GUI type. How do I get to KATE from root? | 00:47 |
rob__ | in Konsole | 00:47 |
Fanfare | type in konsole "sudo kate file" | 00:47 |
Fanfare | ok in krunner(?) | 00:47 |
Fanfare | or | 00:48 |
dwidmann | !kdesudo | 00:49 |
ubottu | In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why | 00:49 |
Fanfare | dwidmann: thx , i never run kdeapps as root... | 00:50 |
rob__ | ok. I am lost now | 00:51 |
Fanfare | rob__: open konsole | 00:51 |
rob__ | http://pastebin.com/m6969b01a | 00:51 |
rob__ | I did | 00:51 |
rob__ | sorry I am so dense at this | 00:51 |
Fanfare | use kdesudo as dwidmann sayd | 00:52 |
Fanfare | kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:53 |
joshjtl | is the raptor menu meant for the panel? or for desktop? | 00:53 |
rob__ | Fan: kdesudo: cannot connect to X server | 00:53 |
Fanfare | hm, | 00:54 |
rob__ | now I feel better. lol | 00:54 |

rob__ | I re opened Konsol and got that message | 01:02 |
rob__ | logged in as root and tried to get back to where I was before | 01:03 |
rob__ | then got that message | 01:03 |
rob__ | I think I want to recover..... | 01:03 |
Fanfare | rob__: u are now logged in kde as root? | 01:04 |
rob__ | I am in konsole as root | 01:04 |
rob__ | root-shell | 01:04 |
Fanfare | ok, try using nano might be easyer to use than vi. | 01:05 |
rob__ | what is nano? | 01:05 |
Fanfare | nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:05 |
engineer | sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:06 |

Fanfare | no ohter vi open in other konsole? | 01:11 |
dwidmann | "sudo rm /etc/apt/.sources.list.swp" to remove the swap file | 01:11 |
dwidmann | assuming it's not already running :) | 01:12 |
rob__ | no. Went back into root-shell from Konsole. http://pastebin.com/m60164d3 | 01:12 |

dwidmann | that certainly looks like the nano editor to me | 01:14 |
rob__ | Fan; what now? | 01:14 |
dwidmann | works like a normal one (ie: kate, notepad, etc), except no mouse | 01:14 |
Fanfare | scroll down comment last line or remove it | 01:15 |
rob__ | ok | 01:15 |
rob__ | done | 01:15 |

dwidmann | Welcome to #kubunt ro b__ :P | 01:19 |
dwidmann | **#kubuntu | 01:19 |
dwidmann | (my typing sucks as much as usual today) | 01:20 |
Fanfare | Q: how do i find out what rep requires 9423A34CCA967634 key? | 01:20 |
dwidmann | seems it's a high hit on google, has to do maybe with amarok2 | 01:21 |
tsimpson | gpg: key CA967634: public key "Launchpad PPA for Kubuntu Members - KDE 4 Repository" imported | 01:22 |
dwidmann | no, more generic, it's the kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu ppa | 01:22 |
dwidmann | I think | 01:22 |
dwidmann | http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu | 01:22 |
dwidmann | and tsimpon gets there first | 01:23 |
dwidmann | (and with the better answer no less) | 01:24 |
Fanfare | tsimpson: whats the command to get that info? Not to import! | 01:24 |
dwidmann | I'm going to assume gpg --list-keys | 01:25 |
tsimpson | Fanfare: I just imported it into a dummy account I have, but http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x9423A34CCA967634&op=vindex finds it too | 01:25 |
dwidmann | or maybe something related to that | 01:25 |
dwidmann | (and I bet I'd be wrong too) | 01:26 |
tsimpson | http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/ just put 0x in front of the key and hit search | 01:26 |
tsimpson | actually "Submit" | 01:27 |
dwidmann | wait, what about "sudo apt-key list" | 01:27 |
Fanfare | hm, ok, thx... to clearify. i had all keys imported, but now update found a missing key i couldnt find. that made me courious | 01:28 |
tsimpson | dwidmann: I'm guessing that it's apt that saying it can't find the key, so apt-key list wouldn't list it | 01:29 |
dwidmann | hmmm, true enough | 01:29 |
dwidmann | I'm way off the mark today ... I need to do something productive to focuse myself | 01:29 |
Fanfare | isnt list only to list imported? | 01:30 |
dwidmann | I think so | 01:30 |
dwidmann | that's the point tsimpson was making anyway | 01:30 |
BluesKaj | I always have missing kets ...who cares as long as the apps work :) | 01:30 |
BluesKaj | keys | 01:30 |
Fanfare | ok, one more is it possible to have multiple keys for one repo??? | 01:31 |
Fanfare | BluesKaj: 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 |
dwidmann | BluesKaj: there's a way to override it bugging you about them | 01:32 |
rmrfslash_ | :( | 01:32 |
dwidmann | rmrfslash_: worse than what? | 01:32 |
tsimpson | Fanfare: each repo should only have one key | 01:32 |
rmrfslash_ | 4.2.0 | 01:33 |
tsimpson | and, as far as I know, can only have one | 01:33 |
rmrfslash_ | I just upgraded and now everything looks choppy | 01:33 |
BluesKaj | maybe , but i have no clue , except delete the repos afterwards and hope the app gets ported to the universe/mulitverse etc | 01:33 |
rmrfslash_ | from the splash screen fadeout to the desktop switching | 01:33 |
rmrfslash_ | I'm using XRender compositing | 01:33 |
rmrfslash_ | not sure if that makes much of a difference | 01:34 |
rmrfslash_ | probably does | 01:34 |
Fanfare | tsimpson: hm, so thats interessting... i have 60487016493B3065 already for kde 422 | 01:34 |

Fanfare | seems i forgot them... | 01:36 |
dwidmann | BluesKaj: think it's something like APT{ Get{ AllowUnauthenticated "true"; } } | 01:37 |
tsimpson | Fanfare: for the neon PPA ? | 01:37 |
dwidmann | wait, need semicolons after } and } too ... | 01:38 |
progenitus | Hello 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 |
Fanfare | tsimpson: yeah, i was sure i had imported the neon keys but i must have been wrong... | 01:41 |
tsimpson | you can see https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%20to%20your%20Ubuntu%20repositories for information on importing keys from PPAs | 01:42 |
Fanfare | progenitus: repeating speed on kde? systemsettings keyboard | 01:43 |
tsimpson | or just "gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0F7992B0 && gpg --export -a 0F7992B0 | sudo apt-key add -" | 01:43 |

will | What kind of software is it, is it a window manager, or just an application kinda like the plasmoid console? | 02:04 |

nixon | boot off windows run the install option off the USB drive and install over mint | 04:17 |
lemony | i have to do this through windows, not the live session? | 04:18 |
Unibob|laptop | hmmm...gotta fix my shift key's issue with sticking on me. | 04:25 |

Im_Toast | Guys, I just installed KDE on my Ubuntu distro.... I use an external monitor on a laptop and the screen keeps flashing now. Any ideas why? | 04:36 |
=== ubuntu_ is now known as lemony | ||
lemony | alright, im trying to set up kubuntu manually with three partitions that i had before | 04:45 |
lemony | but i dont remember which ones mount where | 04:45 |
dwidmann | lemony: fire up a live cd mount them and take a look around | 04:46 |
lemony | i have an ext2 with 98mb, swap with 509mb, and ext3 with 22997 mb | 04:46 |
dwidmann | 98mb might be a /boot partition | 04:46 |
lemony | alright thanks | 04:47 |
Im_Toast | Guys, I use a laptop with an external monitor. I usually run Ubuntu (GNOME) I just installed the KDE desktop to try it out, but whenever I use KDE my external monitor keeps flashing on and off, and it keeps saying my laptop is charging then running on battery then charging over and over. Any ideas what I can do to fix it? | 04:47 |
lemony | i know one of them is just / | 04:47 |
lemony | oh nevermind, the swap cant be that | 04:48 |
lemony | what does swap actually do? | 04:49 |
aga | morning guys | 04:50 |
dwidmann | !swap | lemony | 04:50 |
ubottu | lemony: 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 info | 04:50 |
lemony | so does it matter if this swap is left over from my previous os? | 04:51 |
lemony | or will i have to delete it and create a new one | 04:51 |
dwidmann | It doesn't matter | 04:52 |
dwidmann | in fact, live CDs can take advantage of it too | 04:52 |
=== nicholas is now known as Guest19406 | ||
lemony | so the largest partition i have, or the main partition i guess, would the mount point be / | 04:56 |
lemony | or something else | 04:56 |
aga | how big is the hard drive lemony? | 04:57 |
aga | that could be / but not necesarily has to be / | 04:57 |
lemony | around 80G | 04:58 |
lemony | 80GB | 04:58 |
aga | and do you have any other os installed? | 04:58 |
lemony | windows and linux mint | 04:58 |
lemony | im trying to reformat the linux mint to kubuntu though | 04:58 |
lemony | im just trying to make sure i have the setup right | 04:59 |
aga | it makes sense that the one on ext2 is /boot and the one on ext3 is / then swap is just /swap | 04:59 |
aga | but | 04:59 |
aga | you should be seeing many more partitions in the live cd right now | 04:59 |
lemony | well i have ntfs which i know is windos | 05:00 |
lemony | windows* | 05:00 |
aga | aha | 05:00 |
lemony | i didnt think it was worth mentioning | 05:00 |
aga | nope the windows one not really | 05:00 |
lemony | and some unusable space | 05:00 |
aga | but you also have linux mint | 05:00 |
lemony | oh, i used this ext2, ext3, and swap setup before to set up mint | 05:01 |
lemony | so now im just replacing it with kubuntu | 05:01 |
aga | oh | 05:01 |
aga | all right then | 05:01 |
lemony | i dont really know much about partitioning | 05:02 |
lemony | someone instructed me on how to set it up before | 05:02 |
aga | then looks like i told you before. the ext2 seems to be /boot and the ext3 should be / then mount swap as /swap | 05:02 |
aga | if what you want is to replace that linux mint | 05:02 |
lemony | alright so its just /, thanks | 05:02 |
lemony | yep | 05:02 |
aga | np :) | 05:03 |
windz | /part # | 05:09 |
=== charles is now known as lemony | ||
lemony | alright, ive got mint replaced with kubuntu, but now the screen flashes about every 10 seconds, any i can fix this? | 05:25 |
lemony | any way* | 05:25 |

happygrue | Building dependency tree | 05:31 |
happygrue | Reading state information... Done | 05:31 |
happygrue | Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 05:31 |
happygrue | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 05:31 |
happygrue | is only available from another source | 05:31 |
happygrue | E: Package firefox has no installation candidate | 05:31 |
happygrue | calamari: my sources.list file has only one line in it, so I am not sure it is seeing any repo anywhere? | 05:32 |
* happygrue is quite new - sorry if I am not making sense | 05:32 | |
calamari | happygrue: weird.. I don't have 9.04 yet.. not that brave | 05:32 |
happygrue | calamari: I was having issues with my sound on 8.10, they are fixed on 9.04 | 05:33 |

paolo | :( | 05:36 |
calamari | into the terminal or console | 05:36 |
calamari | command line.. bash, command prompt.. etc | 05:36 |
calamari | look in accessories there should be "konsole" | 05:37 |
calamari | or utilities | 05:37 |
happygrue | paolo: from the K, do a search for 'terminal' | 05:37 |
paolo | ok | 05:37 |

paolo | :D | 05:38 |
paolo | tnx | 05:38 |
happygrue | I couldn't find it either... it is not in utilities, and I don't have accessories | 05:38 |
paolo | wait i'll try | 05:38 |
calamari | happygrue: sounds like someone at kde / kubuntu took a stupid pill with 9.04 lol | 05:38 |
happygrue | ah, it's in system | 05:38 |

husayn | how to change screen resolution in Kubuntu ? | 05:40 |

lokai | yeah. | 10:37 |
ActionParsnip | gianluca: on your konsole window that is on your screen does it have the top bar? | 10:37 |
lokai | Is it on "perma-hide" -- I've had a bug on KDE3.5 where it doesn't return from hiding | 10:38 |
ActionParsnip | gianluca: or is it just a black square now? | 10:38 |
gianluca | now topbar? | 10:38 |

mopoyo | with all those buttons on it | 10:45 |
gianluca | if i insert a jack of phone the sound go on in the speakers | 10:45 |
lokai | mopoyo: Yes. First we are checking if it is running. If it is not, its a simple matter of restarting it. | 10:45 |
gianluca | :S | 10:45 |
mopoyo | ok brb i wil restart | 10:46 |
ActionParsnip | !sound | 10:46 |
ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 10:46 |
gianluca | i want isolate the speaker when i insert the phone | 10:46 |
lokai | mopoyo: If it *IS* running and still not showing up, it may be this autohide bug which I've dealt with before | 10:46 |
mopoyo | i removed the panel! | 10:46 |
lokai | mopoyo: What does ps aux | grep kicker return? | 10:46 |
mopoyo | mathew 7399 0.0 0.0 3240 804 pts/1 S+ 19:44 0:00 grep kicker | 10:47 |
lokai | ok, run the command kicker & in a terminal | 10:47 |
gianluca | but actionParsnip is go out? | 10:47 |
lokai | mopoyo: does that bring it back? | 10:48 |
mopoyo | bash: kicker: command not found | 10:48 |
lokai | sudo apt-get install kicker | 10:48 |
mopoyo | Package kicker is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 10:49 |
mopoyo | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 10:49 |

lokai | mopoyo: Yeah I've never tried to install just the kicker app, since its a part of the KDE distribution. But it sounds like this was removed from your system for some reason. | 10:50 |
mopoyo | i'm going to restart | 10:50 |

etric | someone knows a workaround to get a connection through Huawei E220 and the new NetworkManager plasmoid in jaunty? | 11:23 |
gianluca | hello | 11:25 |
gianluca | how i change font in linux? | 11:25 |
kyle__ | etric does your plasma freeze when doing something with NetworkManager in jaunty? | 11:25 |
etric | no works fine so far, just complains that he "cant get the network secrets" aka the PIN for UMTS or the WPA-PSK key for my wlan | 11:26 |
genjix | hey im patching a network driver for ieee80211 version of the r8187 | 11:27 |
genjix | ... does anyone know why the asm/semaphore.h file is not in ubuntu? | 11:27 |
etric | connection through lan cable or umtsmon works on the other hand | 11:27 |
kyle__ | etric do you get a prompt for your WPA-PSK key though? | 11:28 |
etric | yes | 11:28 |
dwidmann | dunno genjix, try taking a look for it with the apt-file command ("sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file search asm/semaphore.h") | 11:28 |
etric | i can etnter the key on the NM settings and get asked again when the NM tries to connect | 11:29 |

claudio_ | hi.my wirelless network doesn't function | 11:29 |
claudio_ | any idea? | 11:29 |
AzAel | gianluca: what part did you want to change the font of? | 11:30 |
etric | kyle__: thx. i see if it is possible to "update" the live cd session somehow and see if my problems solve themselve | 11:31 |
kyle__ | oh you working off the live cd? | 11:31 |
AzAel | gianluca: if you goto "System Settings" theres a section called "Appearance" and in there is a fonts subsection | 11:31 |
etric | yeah, need to be sure network is working before i upgrade my 8.10 install | 11:32 |
kyle__ | jaunty isnt stable yet, and networkmanagement needs a lot of work, probably hold back on your upgrade for a bit | 11:32 |
kyle__ | but I am pretty confident they fixed that bug already once you do your uprades | 11:33 |

dwidmann | ActionParsnip: trying to get a non-robot explanation on that one :) | 12:18 |
admiral0 | i'd like to have a default static ip for my wired connection home with network manager rather than dhcp, but i didn't manage to do it. | 12:19 |
dwidmann | (trying to counter file corruption on system crashes ... really annoying when I lose my configs, or worse like just happened now, my disconnected imap cache) | 12:19 |
ActionParsnip | admiral0: you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces | 12:19 |
admiral0 | i created the profile with a static ip but i don't know how to apply it | 12:19 |
kyle__ | ActionParsnip: like this? | 12:19 |
ActionParsnip | kyle__: exactly | 12:20 |
ActionParsnip | admiral0: http://pastebin.com/f6263dde0 | 12:20 |
kyle__ | ActionParsnip: yay. thanks | 12:20 |
ActionParsnip | admiral0: there is one of mine | 12:20 |
admiral0 | ActionParsnip:thanks (actually i did all with ifconfig and route ) | 12:20 |
ActionParsnip | admiral0: edit the file, you will need to populate /etc/resolv.conf too with some public dns or the ones from your isp | 12:21 |
ActionParsnip | admiral0: then you can uninstall stupid network manager | 12:21 |
admiral0 | i agree | 12:21 |
admiral0 | i don't need it on my desktop | 12:22 |
ActionParsnip | admiral0: your pc will boot faster too as it doesnt have to wait for dhcp to complete | 12:22 |

rakowaty | from linux | 12:51 |

Guest67869 | lokai: why is that what is that mean andwhat i have to do?? | 14:57 |
lokai | Guest67869: 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 |
lokai | I don't know why anything is scanning anything, though. | 14:59 |

deji | Have you more than one java installed in your computer? | 16:19 |
tacosarecool | no | 16:19 |
deji | Then, it's good | 16:19 |
tacosarecool | But I still have problems should I uninstall the one from synaptic | 16:19 |
deji | where was the new one? | 16:20 |
tacosarecool | in the java directory | 16:21 |
trappist | how can I, from the command line, get the length in seconds of a video file? | 16:21 |
progman2 | hey guys, if I write an app under ubuntu, will it be able to run under any linux distro? | 16:22 |
progman2 | same question, what if it's a library (.a) file? | 16:22 |
trappist | progman2: depends on how you compile it and what the dependencies are. | 16:23 |
deji | tacosarecool: what is the error message? | 16:23 |
tacosarecool | No error message | 16:23 |
tacosarecool | I just can't get it enabled | 16:23 |
trappist | progman2: 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 it | 16:23 |
progman2 | trappist, no dependencies other than STL and generic C++ stuff | 16:23 |
progman2 | gotcha | 16:24 |
trappist | progman2: I dunno what STL is, but libstdc++ etc should be pretty stable across distros | 16:24 |
progman2 | would like the opengl libraries be different? | 16:24 |
deji | progman2: you want to code in opengl? | 16:25 |
progman2 | I guess in any case, I should just statically link my app | 16:25 |
progman2 | yea | 16:25 |
trappist | progman2: 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 distros | 16:25 |
deji | what kind of code? | 16:25 |
progman2 | im 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 ubuntu | 16:26 |
progman2 | I wasn't sure if it mattered | 16:26 |
progman2 | im not a linux expert by any means :) | 16:26 |
trappist | progman2: it likely matters. sounds like your best bet is just statically compile. | 16:26 |
progman2 | Ok | 16:26 |
deji | for open gl you can try mesa library, you can find it on every distro | 16:27 |
trappist | if you don't need it to perform terribly well | 16:27 |
deji | trappist: yes but poorting for specific material is easy after | 16:28 |
progman2 | isn't there just standard opengl libraries? | 16:28 |
trappist | true, just gotta keep in mind there's a tradeoff | 16:28 |
trappist | progman2: yeah but not every distro will have it, and if they do you can't necessarily count on them being compatible with each other | 16:28 |
tacosarecool | I can't get java working ..( | 16:29 |
progman2 | but if I use them and statically link them, I should be cool | 16:29 |
tacosarecool | Is there a chatroom for java? | 16:29 |
tacosarecool | lol | 16:30 |
trappist | tacosarecool: not sure, but I bet there's an irc channel... maybe #java ? | 16:30 |

PhilRod | Jampiter: yeah, you'll need a specific midi-playing app. If kmid still exists, it might work. Otherwise you could try timidity (it does the synthesizing itself) | 16:44 |
xterra_ | tuga chat qual é ???????????????????????????????????????? | 16:45 |
dwidmann | tacosarecool: how bleeding edge do you really need to be? | 16:46 |
tacosarecool | I just want the latest version of java | 16:46 |
tacosarecool | I know what I have to do now | 16:46 |
xterra_ | with ubuntu 8 just instal - automatic!!! | 16:46 |
tacosarecool | no it's not the latest version | 16:47 |
tacosarecool | I have the latest version | 16:47 |
tacosarecool | Anyway | 16:47 |
tacosarecool | I'm just going to delete the old folder | 16:47 |
dwidmann | tacosarecool: visit java.com and download it from there ... probably | 16:47 |
Pici | !java | 16:47 |
tacosarecool | I tried | 16:47 |
ubottu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper | 16:47 |
dwidmann | tacosarecool: what went wrong? | 16:47 |
tacosarecool | what command is delete | 16:48 |
dwidmann | tacosarecool: rm | 16:48 |
tacosarecool | but for folders | 16:49 |
Jampiter | PhilRod: Thank you :) | 16:49 |
tacosarecool | I got a idea | 16:49 |
dwidmann | tacosarecool: if it's empty, rmdir, if not, rm -rf (be careful with this, it shows no mercy!) | 16:49 |
tacosarecool | I will uninstall old java from synaptic | 16:49 |

another | I seem to have lost my oxgen window decorations, and have no idea how to begin to restore them | 16:51 |
Jampiter | PhilRod: I've installed Timidity.. is it a seperate programme or do I have to open the MIDI in a player? | 16:51 |
PhilRod | IIRC it's a player on its own | 16:52 |
tacosarecool | woot! | 16:52 |
tacosarecool | awe crap | 16:52 |
dwidmann | Jampiter: cli based player by the looks of it, ie: timidity somefile.mid | 16:53 |
tacosarecool | someone just remote desktop me please and install java from the bin lol | 16:53 |
Jampiter | dwidmann: Excellent. Thank you :) | 16:53 |
tacosarecool | I tried everything | 16:53 |
PhilRod | ah, maybe I used a front end when I used it. Perhaps a ktimidity exists | 16:53 |
another | whats the default window manager /w kubuntu? | 16:54 |
tacosarecool | KDE | 16:54 |
Jampiter | Er.. it "Couldn't open output device" | 16:54 |
another | err, wrong wording i think, whats the program that controls the window decorations in kde? | 16:54 |
dwidmann | tacosarecool: chmod +x the .bin file, then run "sudo ./*.bin" ... should work, if not, what's the error message | 16:54 |
Jampiter | another: kwin | 16:54 |
lorecaster | good afternoon :) | 16:54 |
another | thanks jampiter | 16:55 |
tacosarecool | there is no error message | 16:55 |
Jampiter | another: No problem | 16:55 |
tacosarecool | Java just crashes now | 16:55 |
dwidmann | tacosarecool: but did it manage to install? | 16:55 |
tacosarecool | yes | 16:55 |
tacosarecool | but it's crashy | 16:55 |
another | jampiter: do you have to download kwin online? or should it be a default program | 16:56 |
lorecaster | do i wait for the current dilemma to be solved before i pose mine? I'm new to this. | 16:56 |
dwidmann | now, when trying to run something java, do you specify the full path to java to run it? | 16:56 |
Jampiter | another: It's an integral part of KDE, so you should have it alrealdy | 16:56 |
tacosarecool | I found something sexier | 16:57 |
another | jampiter: is kwin a tool like compiz? and could having compiz enabled disrupt kwin? | 16:58 |
Jampiter | another: You have either Compiz or Kwin running, IIRC. They both do the same job. | 16:58 |
another | jampiter: ah thank you very much, that was the issue then | 16:58 |
Jampiter | another: No problem | 16:59 |
lorecaster | can anyone help me? | 16:59 |
Jampiter | lorecaster: Just go ahead and ask :) | 16:59 |

lorecaster | i'm having a big problem with nvidia X server... | 16:59 |
tacosarecool | I need to reinstall java on synaptic | 17:00 |
lorecaster | i need a dual-display for my work, ( to work effectively ) and am having a problem with the x server reboot | 17:00 |
tacosarecool | I'll get it right this time | 17:00 |
dwidmann | lorecaster: have you tried to set it up in nvidia-settings? | 17:00 |
lorecaster | when i go into the x server properties, and fix the problem, it says it requires a reboot... so i go to save the settlings, and it says it cannot save :( | 17:00 |
dwidmann | lorecaster: and nvidia-settings has to be run as root ... ie: kdesudo nvidia-settings .... or you won't be able to save | 17:01 |
lorecaster | is there any way to run all my commands as root? to avoid this problem in the future? | 17:02 |
lorecaster | i am the only user on this computer | 17:02 |
carpii__ | thats a really bad idea | 17:02 |
dwidmann | Can't say I'd recommend running around as root, that'd be a security nightmare | 17:02 |
carpii__ | just get used to prefixing things with sudo, or ksudo etc | 17:03 |
dwidmann | in fact, any worse and it would be windows | 17:03 |
lorecaster | i've read that... how do it in gui? | 17:03 |
carpii__ | youll be thankflu lone day, when it says you dont have permission to delete 1000 files by accident ;) | 17:03 |
lorecaster | i have no idea i don't know how to do anything beyond ultra-basics in command-prompt | 17:03 |
dwidmann | lorecaster: "kdesudo nvidia-settings" copy + paste :) | 17:04 |
lorecaster | that opens up a gui interface? alright, i thought i was going to be typing for the next hour :P | 17:04 |
lorecaster | OH!! how neat is this. right on :) | 17:05 |
lorecaster | coolies... you guys have restored my faith in the Linux gods :P | 17:05 |
lorecaster | how do i restart x server now? | 17:05 |
lorecaster | it can't be as simple as closing the window | 17:06 |
dwidmann | ctrl + alt + backspace (but you'll lose everything that's open right now, so save anything that's open first) | 17:06 |

ozz_ | Ok. I'll seacrh the rigth repo. | 17:19 |
ozz_ | Thanks. | 17:19 |
tacosarecool | It even made it so crashy | 17:20 |
tacosarecool | it made me crash when I go to youtube | 17:20 |
ForgeAus | just that its non-free software so its not in the basic set | 17:20 |

ubottu | Package xset does not exist in intrepid | 17:22 |
ozz_ | Hum... How can I change screen resolution in terminal? | 17:23 |
ForgeAus | uh I don't think xset is a package, I think its a program (part of an Xserver?) | 17:23 |
ForgeAus | screen res uh I think you use xrandr for that... | 17:23 |
ozz_ | But it started at 640x480... I can't reach the Xrandr icon. | 17:24 |
ForgeAus | try xrandr --help it should explain how to use it... | 17:24 |
ForgeAus | if not you might need to read the man page | 17:24 |
ForgeAus | (I didn't mean the xrandr icon, I meant as a CLI command) | 17:24 |
ForgeAus | although having the icon is handy... | 17:25 |
ozz_ | Right. I'll try it in a terminal. | 17:25 |
ForgeAus | of course if you need admin privileges to run it you might require to place the command sudo before it (ie sudo xrandr --<options> | 17:26 |
ozz_ | sudo -s works too | 17:27 |

aga | xjjk: if by that you mean man grub, it is not clarifying at all | 18:04 |
xjjk | I'm not sure how the java.sun.com installer installs things | 18:04 |
aga | at least to me | 18:04 |
xjjk | aga: yeh, man pages aren't good | 18:04 |
xjjk | aga: there's another comprehensive manual on the Internet somewhere | 18:05 |
aga | yeah that's what i was looking for...in case someone knows some link | 18:05 |
xjjk | not off the top of my head, sorry... but should be on gnu.org | 18:05 |

xjjk | aga: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html | 18:06 |

aga | oo thanks xjjk | 18:06 |
xjjk | ah, I see | 18:06 |
xjjk | I'm not familiar with Gentoo but that should be very easy | 18:06 |
xjjk | tacosarecool: can you check if you can remove the java.sun.com manually somehow... | 18:07 |
aga | i need to edit kubuntu grub, because this is the first grub which was installed so it should be enough with adding something somewhere in grub.conf | 18:07 |
xjjk | aga: exactly | 18:07 |
aga | the only thing left, it's to find out the what-where combo :p | 18:07 |
tacosarecool | grr | 18:07 |
tacosarecool | Can anyone make a deb? | 18:08 |
xjjk | tacosarecool: you need to remove whatever you installed first | 18:08 |

xjjk | and there's something called java-package that will make a deb from Sun's java installer | 18:09 |

aga | what's up illmortal? | 18:09 |
xjjk | tacosarecool: what version of kubuntu? run lsb_release -a on the command line | 18:09 |
illmortal | Well I just installed Kubuntu 8.10 and did a full update. After this update I replaced my speaker system which connects via USB. It is the Logitech Z Cinema, which funny enough Kubuntu recognizes but I have no sound. | 18:10 |

aga | illmortal: check this... after updating i have that surprise too | 18:11 |
illmortal | o.O; | 18:11 |
illmortal | oh boy... | 18:11 |
aga | go to the icon of the speaker, and get the mixer,... check if PCM is not muted | 18:11 |
aga | i freaked out two days til i found PCM was muted | 18:11 |

nickar_ | home: what happend to you? | 19:34 |
home | im running ubuntu in it and when i put it in full screen it wont go completly full screen | 19:34 |
home | in vbox* i mean | 19:35 |
nickar_ | home: i don't have a clue, wait till someone can help you. Which version are you using? | 19:35 |
ubunturos | home: I guess, there's a plugin for that; sun VBox doesn't allow full screen | 19:35 |
fosco__ | vbox allows full screen | 19:36 |
home | im running the newest version | 19:36 |
home | and its got to be a ubuntu prob | 19:36 |
nickar_ | from repo or from vbox homepage? | 19:36 |
home | im running vista.....but ubuntu in the vbox | 19:36 |
nickar_ | let me see... | 19:37 |
nickar_ | you say that you ubuntu's desktop does not put on fullscreen when you fullscreen on vbox? | 19:37 |
home | yes | 19:37 |
nickar_ | in my opinion, you have to install guest additions to make ubuntu do that automaticly | 19:38 |
home | ok | 19:38 |
nickar_ | have you installed them? | 19:38 |
illmortal | Woooo I got my USB Sound system to work :D | 19:38 |
home | yes | 19:39 |
nickar_ | it is an option in vbox menus, and you have to install them in ubuntu | 19:39 |
nickar_ | mmmm.... | 19:39 |
home | ubuntu is the guest addition | 19:39 |
illmortal | Does anyone know a good virtual machine for Kubuntu, to install Windows 7? | 19:39 |

greg | i've been hearing about mp3/flash problems on AMD64 boxes | 19:44 |

tacosarecool | that's probably why java was crashing | 19:44 |
rooter_ | a | 19:44 |
tacosarecool | I didn't try restarting | 19:44 |
greg | would kubuntu-restricted-extras fix that, or would i have to try something else? | 19:45 |
CoJaBo-Dell | Is there a way to reduce the chance of data loss during crash when using a Wubi install? | 19:45 |

illmortal | nickar_ ya.. I created the partition as primary (master) and then I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use, "start" then click F12 to choose CD so that you can install | 19:56 |
illmortal | click / press | 19:56 |

illmortal | hm... that's probably what I need to do. I need to mount it via VBox, right nickar_? | 19:58 |
nickar_ | amgarchin9: use kgpg | 19:58 |

illmortal | disk | 20:02 |
greg | illmortal: have you had any problems with mp3 on 8.10 64-bit? | 20:02 |
nickar_ | ok, so tell vbox to use your phisical disk, not an image! | 20:02 |
illmortal | greg, nope. Don't use pulseaudio. That just fixed my issue with MP3s and my USB surround sound system :D | 20:02 |
greg | i have amarok atm | 20:02 |
illmortal | same :P | 20:03 |
greg | and kmix, but i can't unmute kmix for some reason | 20:03 |
illmortal | Oh... I didn't have that issue. But I also used the Alsa-Mixer | 20:03 |
illmortal | nickar_ I'm tryin to install it via CD ROM. | 20:04 |
greg | hrmm... cause it looks like amarok is trying after i get the codecs or w/e | 20:04 |
illmortal | Ya... it'll play but there's no sound. | 20:04 |
illmortal | Make sure you're not using pulseaudio | 20:04 |
illmortal | and after installing the codecs, make sure to restart Amarok btw | 20:04 |
illmortal | Ah... I've figured it out, nickar_ :D | 20:05 |

dj_unibob|laptop | dunno if VM's take full advantage...do they? | 20:28 |
illmortal | well I assumed that it could handle 64-Bit architecture... maybe there's a settings in Virtualbox to change that? | 20:28 |
dj_unibob|laptop | possibly, I don't know much about virtual machines tho | 20:29 |
dj_unibob|laptop | semi-afk btw...listening to A state of trance and their IRC is scrolling like crazy | 20:29 |

yoritomo | anybody made a deb for 8.10 of Nvidia Nouveau project driver ? | 22:24 |
yoritomo | really to difficult to compile it | 22:25 |
zkrebs | re: yoritomo - https://launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/ppa | 22:29 |
yoritomo | how to use it ? is it sources too ? | 22:31 |
yoritomo | need to compile ? | 22:32 |
zkrebs | add the sources for your version of ubuntu (intrepid/jaunty) and then use apt-get in term | 22:32 |
zkrebs | i am not an expert on the nouveau driver..i personally tried it once or twice and it never worked | 22:32 |
zkrebs | the Nvidia driver is vastly superior at this point AFAIK | 22:33 |
yoritomo | which file do i need to download ? | 22:35 |
yoritomo | it is 2 files for intrepid | 22:35 |
yoritomo | i can't do driver compilation | 22:37 |
yoritomo | i think i will wait 9.04 | 22:37 |
zkrebs | oh i see, then this isn't going to work for you | 22:37 |
zkrebs | unless you went to another box or environment and built your own debs or something | 22:38 |

illmortal | Does anyone know why the non-free flash does not play sound but plays the video flawlessly | 22:51 |
tacosarecool | your sound is muted? | 22:52 |
tacosarecool | illmortal where'd you get the flash from? synaptic? | 22:52 |
tacosarecool | you can also install manuall | 22:52 |
tacosarecool | y | 22:52 |
illmortal | Ya I believe it was through synaptec. | 22:53 |
illmortal | should I uninstall it and re-install it differently? | 22:53 |
victim | if [ `arch` != "x86_64" ] && (echo $PLATFORMS | grep amd64 &>/dev/null); then | 22:54 |
victim | what is arch? | 22:54 |
zkrebs | hahah "your sound is muted" | 22:56 |
zkrebs | "my computer doesn't work" - .."is it plugged in?" - "no" | 22:56 |
illmortal | o.O;... | 22:57 |
illmortal | I can listen to music on Amarok but can't listen to the sound on flash. | 22:58 |
zkrebs | close amarok, restart browser, play flash - can you hear sound? | 22:59 |
zkrebs | the dismal state of linux audio sometimes prevents two apps from playing sound simulatenously | 22:59 |
