[00:01] oh wait. Umm wrong command [00:01] k [00:02] dpkg-reconfigure daskreech? [00:02] sudo update-alternatives --config kdm [00:02] noobias: You can press up to get it back [00:03] noobias: also if you press tab it will autocomplete your ocmmands for you [00:03] so you don't have to type the whole ting [00:03] ahh [00:03] no alternatives for kdm [00:04] :-/ [00:05] fine sudo apt-get remove gdm since it seems to want to not exist [00:05] ok [00:05] so...............I have some n000b questions. [00:06] Well actually maybe not. [00:06] its doing it now [00:06] I enabled compiz as the windows manager. I'm accustomed to running 4 desktops and the famed cube. [00:06] noobias: then try the /etc/init.d/kdm restart option again [00:06] ok [00:07] My widget shows 4 desktops, compiz only gives me 2, so I assume there's some disconnect there that's beyond me. === Froad|Away is now known as Froad [00:07] I'm having a hellova time articulating this problem, so I'm hoping somebody will know what I'm talking about. [00:07] Curiousity: Does Ubuntu/Kubuntu have any console-based configuration utilities that do basically what the KDE/Gnome-based system configuration tools do? Basically trying to figure out if there's the equivalent of SuSE yast for ubuntu for configuring things even as simple as network IP addresses for the system. [00:07] dan_l: keep talking [00:07] dan_l: you don't need compiz for that. but anyway, how many desktops do you have in systemsettings > desktop ? [00:08] kdm not running (var/run/kdm.pid not found) [00:08] Check for you right now, stand by. [00:08] Psi-Jack: like the one cli tool ? [00:08] daskreech: Pretty much, yes. [00:08] noobias: Ok great press up and change restart to start [00:08] 4. [00:08] ok [00:08] ok [00:09] what was the last ok indicating ? [00:09] daskreech: Not even really CLI either, but Console, as-in curses or what-not. yast for suse can run in console, kde, or gtk environments with automagic detection of which UI layer to use. [00:09] hold 1 sec [00:10] Here's what I"m trying to figure out: The widget that's in my panel. Would that reflect desktops available to compiz or for kwin? Or am I a total n00b who should self murder? [00:10] daskreech: kdmonly root wants to run kmd allready running [00:10] is what it said [00:12] Psi-Jack: TUI [00:12] dan_l: kwin [00:12] daskreech: Yeah, TUI stuffs. [00:12] noobias: KDM already running? [00:13] thats what it said [00:13] dan_l: kwin does the cube and other compiz-type effects [00:13] Ok. So perhaps I should try to make do with just kwin and ignore compiz? [00:13] noobias: change start to stop [00:13] done [00:13] Yeah. I'm jujst so gnome adjusted. But I'll give it a shot. [00:13] Ok one more question and I'll STFU [00:14] Can anybody reccomend a good keystroke launcher? Like Launchy, gnomedo, whatever? [00:14] dan_l: try alt-F2 is that the kind of thing you mean? [00:15] wow. [00:15] Can I change that hotkey? [00:15] daskreech: So, is there any TUI configuration tools for *buntu? [00:16] dan_l: yes [00:16] Psi-Jack: Not a one to rule then all [00:16] daskreech: Well, blasted. Heh. [00:16] dan_l: systemsettings > keyboard & mouse [00:16] Ubuntu's focus is to kill command line [00:16] noobias: Start it again [00:16] I switched to quassel few day ago and I don't know how to remove chanel from buffer list when leaving some chanel :( [00:17] daskreech: Well, a one rule them all, would do almost effectively, that. Which is why I love yast so much. It just plain works as it's intended. [00:17] sweeeet. [00:17] Psi-Jack: Yes but Ubuntu doesn't do Command line stuff unless it will kill them not to [00:17] so far so good. [00:17] Linux for humans and all that [00:18] daskreech: You're mixing TUI with CLI again, though. [00:19] same thing [00:20] kdmonly wants to start kdm allready running [00:20] i dont know [00:20] It says kdmonly ? [00:20] dan_l: just curious, what was the key shortcut you changed it to? [00:20] alt+Spacebar ? [00:21] daskreech: Just curiousity. Have you, personally, ever seen suse's yast in the recent days, from opensuse 11.0 or newer? [00:21] Yes [00:21] noobias: try startx [00:21] alt+space [00:21] or win+space [00:21] Gah [00:21] sorry, baby was yelling at me. [00:22] Then you know, yast itself, is a full all around configuration tool that can even check for package updates and install them, setup NFS servers and clients, setup authentication to be by local, NIS+, LDAP, etc.. All in one purely simple TUI interface, as well as GUI interface? [00:22] noobias: try startx [00:22] k [00:22] guys how can i check my kernel version? [00:23] fatal server error no screen found [00:23] uname [00:23] noobias: oooer :) [00:23] So far I'm kinda digging on this kde thing. Probably the most important thing I have to figure out though is whether or not I can move a window to another desktop without a mouse. I hate the mouse. [00:23] can you install pastebinit ? [00:23] sudo apt-get install pastebinit [00:23] can i install pastebinit? [00:23] uname thats it cheers [00:23] yes [00:23] 1 sec [00:24] dan_l: Alt+F3 _> D -> desktop# [00:24] Alright, I'm going to disable compiz go back to kwin. [00:24] dan_l: advantage? You can throw windows all over the place instantly [00:24] Now I"m not going to become one of you k people. [00:24] disadvantage is that you don't follow the window [00:25] dan_l: cube in the next KDE release :) [00:25] im getting invalid operating pastebinit [00:25] for sudo apt-get install ? [00:25] has anyone tried arora? [00:25] !info pastebinit [00:25] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 344 kB [00:25] daskreech: next release? I have the cube now [00:25] sry [00:25] Oh wait yeah I forgot Jackalope is out [00:25] i fixed it [00:26] hagabaka: yes [00:26] daskreech: its done [00:26] noobias: ok type pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:26] hagabaka: thankyou. I'm always forgetting the name of it. and yes I've tried it [00:26] Give us the URL [00:26] ok [00:27] Crap. Where do I select the windows manager again? [00:27] do i type it here? [00:28] yes [00:28] ok [00:28] dan_l: Default applications [00:28] pastebinit /etc/x11/xorg.conf [00:28] or just type kwin --replace [00:28] noobias: ha ha Sorry you type that in the terminal it will give you a URL [00:28] lol [00:28] you type the URL here [00:28] Wow I suck. [00:28] Thanks folks. [00:28] unable to read from [00:28] dan_l: Yet you rock so much [00:29] i can finally use plugins in it now that i have qt 4.5, but arora has the same problem as konqueror, pages like youtube and nicovideo usually require you to reload a few times before the plugin loads :/ [00:29] noobias: BigX for X11 [00:29] ok [00:30] pastebin.com/ff405455 [00:31] hagabaka: an even more serious problem is no adblock ;-/ [00:31] noobias: ok lets see if the driver is the culprit. type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:32] ok [00:32] and change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv" [00:32] press Ctrl+X to exit [00:32] arora is pretty basic for now, but all things considered it's moving fast [00:32] ^X is Ctrl+X btw [00:33] Ok. I set the invert function to meta+n, applied the change. Hit win+n, nothing happened. [00:33] nvidia to nv @ the bottom of the text? [00:33] noobias: Right [00:34] save as same file name? [00:34] noobias: Oh another little trick You can use alt+<- or alt+-> to jump between terminals beside each other [00:34] noobias: Yes [00:35] ok [00:35] done [00:35] hmm i'm confused [00:35] ok press up to get back the KDM start and try start it [00:35] smeg0l: Me too [00:36] heh [00:36] what's confusing you ? [00:36] drbobb: that hasn't bothered me much, and arora usually loads pages faster than konqueror and without javascript problems [00:36] can't get kdesudo to work or any passwd in gui :-/ [00:36] sorry what is the command i need to use again? [00:37] noobias: press ^R and type restart [00:37] you should get sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [00:38] hagabaka: you should really try browsing the web using a good adblocker, it's a whole new experience, and you'll never want to go back ;-) [00:38] is that whati need to run the restart? [00:39] it said it started [00:39] really? [00:39] hmm [00:39] Did you get a login? [00:39] no [00:39] maybe switch to ctrl-alt-F7 ? [00:40] ok press alt+Ctrl+F7 and see what's there [00:40] black screen blinking [00:40] drbobb: but then you lose your ad-blindness [00:40] hmm [00:40] got to have more caffeine [00:40] ok [00:41] raylu: maybe, but i'd rather protect my sanity [00:41] noobias: still have the nvidia .run file ? [00:41] drbobb: then don't get an ad-blocker. when you use another person's machine, you'll go insane because of the ads [00:41] ad-blindness? how do you get that? [00:41] i guess i downloaded it to my desktop [00:41] drbobb: though i use an ad-blocker myself. just pointing out that there's a reason not to use one [00:42] noobias: ls ~/Desktop [00:42] k [00:42] mefisto__: by seeing ads and ignoring them (like most people do) [00:42] See if it's there [00:42] yes i still have it [00:42] ok cd ~/Desktop [00:42] raylu: well you *believe* you're ignoring them [00:42] hmmmmm. I don't see a krunner hotkey under keyboard and mouse. [00:42] raylu: that doesn't work for me. must be the asperger's [00:43] drbobb: no, i believe that i pay more attention to them on friend's machines than i did before i had adblock [00:43] unfortunately, on a subliminal level they're still undermining your sanity [00:43] drbobb: you can use something like privoxy with arora to get adblocking [00:43] chmod u+x *.run [00:44] daskreech: sh [file].run should work too [00:44] divinus: good point i guess [00:44] hi i got a question - i am on ubuntu , and kdeplasma-addons asks me to install : * OpenGL [00:44] what package is this ? if i try to install mesa-dev* it want to remove nvidia-glx-180-dev --- so what to do ? [00:44] where is the desktop folder located? [00:45] noobias: under ~ [00:45] Aha! I am not an idiot. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1043208.html [00:45] ~ is a shortcut for your Home directory [00:45] i did it and it didnt work [00:45] raylu: Yeah I figured [00:45] heck what could the reason be that copying to my usb flash mem has become so slooooow [00:45] noobias: Capital D ? [00:45] no... ill learn i promise [00:46] ok [00:46] im there [00:46] now do i run the file? [00:46] noobias: ./ [00:46] Ok folks, I'll leave you alone for now. I"m sure I'll be back. Thanks much for your help. Sorry to be n00btarded. [00:46] I gotsa take my daughter out for ice cream. [00:47] Mom will be unhappy, but I'm the dad, that's why. [00:47] adios folks [00:47] noobias: sh *.run [00:48] ... [00:48] confused [00:48] says cant open [00:49] noobias: the exact error would be helpful [00:49] the error says it cant open [00:50] and thats it [00:50] noobias: ok try chmod u+x *.run [00:50] at best 200kB/s writing to flash must mean something is wrong [00:51] noobias: i meant copy/paste it [00:51] and much of the time it just stalls [00:51] lol no gui friend [00:51] thats what im trying to fix [00:52] drbobb: i experienced something similar once [00:52] raylu: should I expect the stick to fail soon? [00:52] noobias: did the chmod ? [00:52] it said no such file [00:52] * Psi-Jack laughs. [00:53] You should be running these commands WHERE the actual .run file is... [00:53] noobias: ls *.run [00:53] drbobb: no [00:53] drbobb: i eventually just burned it to a dvd (it was a vista installation) === sean is now known as seanw__ [00:54] well my burner is broken :( [00:54] Does anyone know how to remove the KDE windows effects ( transparent stuff when moving window etc ) [00:54] seanw__: alt+F3 -> window properties -> desktop effects -> turn off [00:54] drbobb: where are you trying to transfer this file to? [00:55] noobias: ls *.run [00:55] i did [00:55] daskreech: thanks much [00:55] you can see the .run file? [00:56] i want to take it to a place where i have a working dvd writer [00:57] Ugh. Why oh WHY does KDE's copy dialog use MiB, instead of MB? [00:58] i see the run file [00:58] yes [00:58] but when i chmod it dosent work [00:59] Hi, I just installed Kubuntu 9.04 64bit on my hp dv4-1120 laptop and I have a sound problem. It hangs on the startup sound. It sounds like it repeats the first half second all the time. And I can't have any other sounds. Any ideas? [00:59] what did you type for chmod ? [01:00] chmod u+x i suppose that if it were h/w trouble , i'd be seeing something in `dmesg' [01:00] noobias: did you ahve < in it? [01:00] no [01:01] noobias: tab completed the file name ? [01:02] hello,moring [01:03] noobias: Woah wait it has .run_ ? [01:04] With the underscore? [01:04] no no underscore that was typo [01:04] ok [01:05] try chmod u+x and then tab complete the name [01:05] hi Mamarok [01:06] hi daskreech :) [01:08] hey this has become ridiculously slow. might there be some problem with the kioslave, or what? [01:08] Hi lemon_ [01:09] noobias: how's that going? [01:09] iy tsn [01:09] sry [01:09] Hi daskreech [01:09] it ran but it said fatal server error [01:09] * Psi-Jack blinks. [01:09] chmod != server. [01:09] no screens file [01:09] Oh. [01:10] Run it with --help so you can figure out how to use it without X. [01:10] ^no screens found [01:10] noobias: ok lost now :) you got the .run file torun ? [01:10] brb [01:10] daskreech: Yeah, running it by itself will try to use X, and since X isn't running, or at least in the shell he's using presently, it will die. [01:11] Psi-Jack: near as I recall the nvidia driver install files required you to killX [01:11] Course they could have moved on :) [01:15] Hmmm, Not sure about the nvidia drivers. I've done the ATI ones, but not the nvidia ones yet. [01:17] hmm rsync seems to write a little faster [01:18] still writing to flash at 250kB/s is unusually slow, isn't it === dwidmann is now known as dwidmann|away [01:20] goodnite [01:20] So does the new network management plasmoid save your WEP/WPA passwords? [01:21] inanimate: I think mine doesn't, at least not when I restarted the first time. [01:22] OK... That blows... [01:23] wicd ftw [01:23] Why would something that doesn't even save your wireless passwords be shipped as the default for 9.04? [01:23] no clue, i also found that very odd that they would release something halfway stable [01:23] KNM is painful, yes, but function over form... [01:24] Well it's ironic given that for 8.10 they released the beta version of KNM and NM... [01:24] Or packaged, rather. [01:25] Heh, oh hell, NM itself IS beta. Not even a 1.0 release. [01:25] seanw__: No Qt version of wicd? [01:25] inanimate: sorry what's that mean? im new :) [01:26] whats QT [01:26] The GUI toolkit that KDE uses. [01:26] As oppose to GTK, which Gnome uses. [01:26] ah [01:26] GTK+ actually. [01:26] well then yes it has a GUI [01:26] inanimate: a lot of people also complain about static IP addresses not working [01:26] I was going to say "GTK+", but then I thought "I may be wrong, and who really cares?" Oh how wrong I was =). [01:27] * Psi-Jack grins evilly. [01:27] nameiner: Static IP doesn't work with NM? [01:27] inanimate: Not really well, no. [01:27] Hmm... Glad I [01:28] 've never tried. [01:28] inanimate: yup, lot of complaining about that in the kubuntu mailing list [01:28] It /works/, but if you run it with any kind of services needing an IP, it will often times fail them. [01:28] So far my biggest deal with NM in general is the fact that I only get a DHCP lease half the time. [01:29] Like I said earlier. NM in itself, is still beta all the way. [01:29] Well, save manually using wpasupplicant, are there any other reasonable Qt (or even better, KDE) NM frontends? [01:32] has anyone installed KDE3 in jaunty alongside the default kde4? [01:32] I've been checking here and on launchpad, but still haven't found an answer... is there a fix for xorg using massive amounts of cpu in Jaunty? [01:34] I have sound problems on my laptop (hp dv4-1120) with 9.04 64bit installed [01:34] any ideas [01:34] nameiner: Depends. What KIND of sound problems? [01:34] i hear 9.04 is extremly buggy. [01:35] Psi-Jack: it sounds like it repeats the first half second of the startup sound forever [01:35] 9.04 has been pretty buggy for me so far. [01:36] kuaera: that's why im sticking with 8.10 [01:36] :P [01:36] Has anyone have any problems with the 9.04 upgrade killing KDE? [01:36] Lots of KDE4 issues, especially with Samba support magically screwing itself up [If I manually put in the path in Dolphin, it works fine] [01:36] mefisto__: No I haven't. Is there a second part to the question? [01:36] My file picker dialogs still always start by sorting by name descending, ignoring my settings [really frustrating if you do a lot of work with files] [01:37] Daskreech: second part would be: how did it go? any problems? does kde4 and kde3 get along? [01:39] Bleh, how do you break out of a dead ssh session? [01:40] hej guys [01:40] got in trouble [01:40] Psi-Jack: exit ? [01:40] hey can awn work on kubuntu. i want to make it look like Mac OSX Leopard [01:40] mefisto__: I said, dead, aka, the host shut down while still logged in. [01:40] mefisto__: It has a ~.kde3 dir so I would guess so [01:40] til distupgrade to jaunty there is no video playback possible anymore === faileas_asleep is now known as faileas [01:41] any ideas? [01:41] is there a way to allow the LiveCD to write to a USB drive? I'm trying to backup my data before recovering from 9.04 [01:41] Psi-Jack: any ideas about the sound? [01:41] nameiner: No, but I'll make a guess it's related to PulseAudio [01:42] kamlurker, mount it [01:42] Psi-Jack: as far as I know, Pulseaudio is not used in Kubuntu, but I could be wrong [01:42] nameiner: PulseAudio's been used in *buntu for a while now, wether noticed or not, but in 8.10 and up it's been seriously noticed, at least by me.

[01:57] kamlurker, what does 'touch /media/disk/testfile' say? [01:57] jessi_, doesnt look like according to ur pastebin, there is nothing set [01:58] fjallagyldir: is there a place to set it other than "manage connections?" [01:59] fjallagyldir: touch: cannot touch `/media/disk/testfile': Permission denied -- It seems that the reason is that the owner and group are "500" [01:59] no i dont think so, u have hit the connect button, havent u? [02:00] so do a chown as root kamlurker [02:00] fjallagyldir: yes hehe. many times. [02:01] fjallagyldir: and reset the router, and restarted the computer. [02:01] hmm restart is no solution on linux ...

[02:06] ubuntu: Try googling the laptop model + ubuntu + sound [02:06] hm, only problem is I have to access it in Gnome - which it loads as default now [02:06] does it show up ur network jessi_ ? [02:07] yeah i can see wireless interface, disconnected, and enable [02:07] if i unplug the network cable it won't connect to the wireless [02:07] ok thank doing it now [02:07] im like 3 feet from the router === Lord_Devi is now known as Darth_Devi [02:08] ubuntu: what kind of laptop do you have? [02:08] noobias: What? What BIOS issue? [02:09] jessi_, try unplug the LAN and click on the wlan in the context menu [02:10] tried that, but i'll try again [02:14] when I try to run a game in fullscreen it wont change the xorg resolution, but will put the game in a rectangle inside the black screen. like, my desktop is 1440x900 but the games that run 1024x768 run in a tiny quad in my 1440x900 res.. how to fix this? before 9.04 it worked. [02:14] fjallagyldir: nothing happens when you click on the context menu [02:14] ok, Im clueless. how can I get kdm to start into my KDE session. Im currently in Gnome against my will !! What is the command for the System Settings Program in KDE? [02:17] systemsettings [02:18] need some help, I can record from mic in kwave but not in audacity [02:19] Daskreech: Thanks - I got it. [02:19] fjallagyldir: thanks, i guess i'll see if the forum can help. not looking good. i [02:19] i'll have to reinstall windows it seems. [02:19] np [02:21] I still cant select whether it starts into Gnome or KDE - This is a nightmare. [02:21] kubuntu? [02:21] are you on? [02:22] ubottu? [02:22] tomsdale_: kdm and gdm should both give you that option [02:22] !love [02:22] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [02:22] amazing [02:23] yep :D [02:23] Haza1_: thanks i found the reason, i had to disable the external amplifier [02:23] raylu - I deselected of automatic login, maybe that puts it into Gnome [02:23] tomsdale_: i don't think so... [02:24] let me restart kdm and well know - brb [02:28] raylu: it worked - I'm back in KDE. I think installing the sudo aptitude install gnome-control-center [02:28] uups - sorry. Don't do that if your are on KDE. [02:29] anyway - after installing the control center it overrides your preference and if you have automated logon enabled it sends you straight into a gnome session. [02:29] then shouldn't turning off automated logon fix it? [02:30] yep - that's what I did. Then it allows you to select your Session type. [02:32] And what beauty !!! Eclipse fonts don't look like the writing on a Pizza Box anymore. [02:33] but eclipse is not a beauty =\ [02:33] also, pizza is tasty [02:34] Well, eclipse is a fatty - but now at least a fatty with nailpolish [02:34] hello, where do i extract KDE styles/themes [02:35] dfdfdfd [02:35] sorry [02:35] is there a gnome-art manager like in gnome ? [02:37] hp printer driver help anyone? (9.04) [02:37] doh [02:37] how do you restart X from the kybd in 9.04? [02:37] it used to be CTRL ALT BKSP [02:38] xorg disabled ctrl alt bksp. you have to edit /etc/xorg.conf to enable it [02:39] google to find out what you have to type in [02:39] VisTasTiC: is there a replacement combo? [02:39] !dontzap | jimmy51_home [02:39] jimmy51_home: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable » [02:39] not that i know of [02:39] thanks [02:39] why did they get rid of that? it was very useful [02:39] that seems like an excessive way of re-enabling ctrl-alt-bksp [02:39] it was useful but it was also a nice way to lose your work [02:39] hmmm..... [02:40] maybe a "are you sure you want to restart X" prompt would be due? [02:40] i dunno [02:40] thanks for the tip.... i'm going to try it in 3...2...1... [02:42] that reminded me of gentoo emerge [02:44] i heard a rumor that the functionality of compiz is available in kwin now. is that true? [02:44] i've got compiz tricked out pretty well right now [02:45] OMGhow do i install themes (styles/windows) ??!?!? [02:45] !patience [02:45] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:46] shrug [02:46] i've been seeking this for hours with no result [02:46] jimmy51_home: i'm not sure. there is a "desktop effects" setting which you can turn on. you can also use the ccsm or similar to fine-tune compiz. [02:46] jimmy51_home- not all of the same effects are in kwin, but it does do compositing on its own [02:47] jimmy51_home: afaik kde 4 has its own implementation of desktop effects, i am not sure your existing compiz config will work [02:52] Does anyone know of a way to put amarok 1 back on instead of amarok 2? I'm definitely not a fan [02:54] !amarok [02:54] Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [02:54] o.0... [02:54] heh === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:55] hmm.. that could use some work [02:55] dust: Right click on desktop and choose appearence settings [02:55] <|dthacker|> Dapper. hehe [02:55] dapper was awesome. === jeiworth_ is now known as jeiworth [02:56] it was almost easyer to live with non working hardware, than knowing it worked for others but yours were broken, haha [02:56] Hi for all! [02:57] Please someone Should say my how can I do to know if my downloaded iso DVD of Kubuntu is OK? [02:57] sardano: when you run it, you can do a check, and verify the burn image [02:57] reboot with it in cd-rom, choose check disk for errors [02:58] Are there something like an pgp file our some king of checksum like sha1 or md5 that can I verify iso file? [02:59] sardano: there is a md5, [02:59] sardano: unless I'm mistaken [03:00] I only found md5 for CDs not for DVD. Where I found DVD md5? [03:00] md5 should be available [03:00] not sure failsafe might take about 8-15 min but the reboot, check cd for errors works [03:00] you can also check the jigdo files, i believe: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/9.04/ [03:01] but yeah, gpgs are on that page [03:01] whats the name of the ubuntu off topic chanel again ? [03:02] !off-topic [03:02] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [03:04] robin0800: i ment styles and windows not themes [03:07] dust: Settings and appearence then [03:07] robin0800: yea but how do i add styles ? [03:07] I thought there was compiz with jaunty, or was I mistaken ? [03:09] agoole: there is desktop effects in kde4 which has compiz-like features [03:09] ...and now I'm bored [03:09] mefisto__: hum... [03:09] mefisto__: havn't seen them [03:10] Yeah. Real original [03:10] hunter_: i'm bored too, lol [03:10] That's wonderful, but I don't care [03:10] damn it [03:10] agoole: rightclick a window titlebar, configure window behaviour to enable desktop effects [03:10] sardano- took me a bit to find the DVD md5 sums. Let me find the link for you [03:11] Dragnslcr: Thanks [03:11] mefisto__: o0, works well :) [03:11] robin0800: do you know? [03:12] sardano- http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/9.04/release/MD5SUMS [03:12] did they fix the network manager applet in 9.04 final? [03:12] it was absolute garbage in 9.04 beta ... [03:12] i don't know why every release of kubuntu they switch the network management applet [03:13] it cant be so hard to tell how to install new styles in kde4 ?! [03:14] dust: Its in advanced settings dektop themes [03:14] robin0800: [03:14] ? [03:15] hey, why do my startup scripts try to run in wine? [03:15] I have a compiz.sh script in /.kde/Autostart [03:15] and its runs "compiz --replace" but its runs it with wine [03:16] dust: What you want is system settings The advanced tab and then choose Desktop Theme Details [03:17] nvm forgot to chmod it XD [03:17] How many of you are actually alive? [03:18] robin0800: oh there. [03:19] robin0800: nope it doesnt change styles just themes [03:20] dust: Well there isn't one then [03:20] So, is this channel for anything in particular or does anybody just hang there bots here? [03:21] robin0800: system settings -> appearance -> windows -> (styles) [03:21] Linux sucks [03:21] robin0800: i want these added new styles [03:21] good for you asshole [03:21] Hello. [03:21] Bobgart: This is a support channel, stop. [03:21] zup [03:22] robin0800: plz help [03:22] If this is support, then why does everybody stay in here and/or just have bots sitting here [03:22] Good question. [03:23] Speaking of questions, I just so happen to have one. [03:23] would anyone have any idea why my box keeps pulling an IP via dhcp even though i have a static IP setup in /etc/network/interfaces. it keeps going back to an IP that is not the one I assigned even without restarting the pc. [03:23] dust: more info needed please [03:23] robin0800: [03:23] what's your question? [03:24] robin0800: Ozone, Oxygen styles i need more of those [03:24] robin0800: new ones [03:24] I just had a whole host of troubles with grub. I'm back up and running except anything internet related shuts down instantly. [03:24] Adept, Synaptic, Firefox, Konqur w/e its called. [03:25] Did you change anything before that happened? [03:25] Just updated to 9.04 [03:25] !language | Bobgart [03:25] Bobgart: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:25] I went through adept last time to find updates. === jeiworth_ is now known as jeiworth [03:25] ah, I had similiar problems. I actually just reinstalled Kubuntu so that I could get around it [03:25] !styles [03:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about styles [03:26] The update killed Knetwork Manager [03:26] robin0800: yo man [03:26] So I've noticed. I can use the sudo apt-get update command and it goes through a list of files but an error occurs. I think they might be related. Why? Don't know. [03:26] dust: apt-cache search kwin-style [03:27] mefisto__: yea?? installed [03:27] need new ones sigh [03:27] dust: also try apt-cache search kde-style [03:27] Dragnslcr: Thanks you very much. Now Where I found gpg public key file for verify MD5SUM file of Kubuntu iso DVD? [03:27] mefisto__: yea all done. [03:27] dust: installed what? all of them? [03:27] mefisto__: all so lame [03:27] In Microsoft Windows updating to a new OS is a big no-no. I'm guessing it's the same for Linux [03:27] mefisto__: yea they where 4 or so [03:27] sardano- very good question [03:28] Yeah, soon as one was released, you wait a few weeks to see if its worth it. I ended up with XPsp2 till 6 months ago. [03:28] sardano- http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/9.04/release/ [03:29] mefisto__: is there really no way to add new styles in kde [03:29] Then Vista for a few and now Kubuntu. So far I like Kubuntu. [03:29] sardano- I would assume you want the .gpg file there === R3DB0x is now known as boboso [03:29] I like Kubuntu too, but I'd rather go back to Windows [03:29] Lol... [03:29] I do miss some things about it. [03:29] I'm running on my laptop and it gets stuck at Competing Installation everytime [03:29] dust: is there a style you want that isn't installed? or just wishing there were more available? [03:29] It fades quickly though. [03:30] mefisto__: the first choise [03:30] I'm running this on my laptop too. [03:30] dust here you go http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140271 [03:30] dust: which one? [03:30] And you know, it seems like the entire Ubuntu community is just questions about how to get different shit on here [03:30] Dragnslcr: To verify a signed file I need public key of that which sign this file people or team.

[03:31] Can you boot from a live CD? [03:32] You mean of Linux? [03:32] sardano- I would assume it's MD5SUMS.gpg. I've never used it personally, so I can't really help you much more than that [03:32] Wait, are you talking about Linux or Windows? I'm confused. [03:32] lol, I'm using Kubuntu because I can't install Windows Vista back onto my laptop [03:33] Dragnslcr: OK no problems. Thank very much for your help. [03:33] sardano- you're welcome [03:33] Anybody knows where I found kubuntu Public Key? [03:33] Ahh right on. Gotcha.

[04:16] EtFb: 9.04 has been the best kubuntu yet for me, but others have had problems. I was wary too, so I made a new partition for a new install, but ever since, I haven't looked back. [04:16] hello [04:16] is anyone familiar with wine [04:17] mefisto__: How is it handling more recent hardware? I have weird behaviour with my Toshiba A300's video drivers, suspend/hibernate, the assorted hotkeys, etc. That's on 8.04. What do you reckon: will I find 9.04 more frustrating, or less? [04:17] !ask | ubuntu [04:17] ubuntu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:17] EtFb: I really don't know. tried the livecd? [04:18] mefisto__: I suppose I should, but then the livecd for Hardy didn't handle 1280x800 at all. I had to install and then fiddle with third-party drivers. The vesa driver is teh suck, as the young people say. [04:20] i d/led and install winehq and then d/led conqueronline but it wont open and install it , am i missing a step? [04:20] linux mint would not recognize my cd rom but 9.04 does, it still does not recognize my usb ports === sol is now known as Guest27881 [04:21] herman: What hardware?

Quicker, more configurable, not stupid. [04:23] EtFb: maybe make some room for a new partition and do a separate install like I did [04:24] There should be more articls on 50 best kubuntu wallpapers :-( [04:24] herman: Oh gods, you're doomed. Can you get a trade-in and buy a Thinkpad or a Toshiba? (Think I'm joking? Hoooo boy... you should see my rants on the topic of the Acer I had.) [04:24] wicd don't work on jaunty [04:24] it does see my sd card [04:25] robin0800: WTF? Really? That's it for me then. Maybe I'll try Kosmic Koala or whatever it is. [04:26] EtFb: it does a good job of uninstalling the network manager [04:27] robin0800: Hell, yeah. Best feature! But it doesn't work apart from that? [04:27] when i try wicd i get a message that encryption is required to be enabled [04:27] do i need to install anything else for WPA support ? [04:27] hello? [04:27] vikram: Expand the section for that connection and type in the appropriate keys etc. It's not very intuitive the first time, but you don't need to install anything else. [04:28] I have a question on formatting.. [04:29] EtFb: it couldnt connect to my mobile dongle but nither can kde [04:30] robin0800: Interesting - I managed to make it connect happily to a USB wifi dongle. [04:31] hello i need help [04:31] i initialized ubuntu [04:31] I want to install Kubuntu onmy laptop, oerwriting my Vista install, without harming the backup, but I have no idea which format is best under the "use as menu" [04:31] either ext3 or ext4 [04:32] but if you want stable probably ext3, unless I am misunderstanding you [04:32] Cathal: Which backup are you talking about? [04:32] I prefer FAT8 myself. o.o [04:32] the D; partition, for the Vista restore, JIC I should need it. [04:32] EtFb: I think these broardband dongles are very different a modem port a storage port and a monitorig port and on windows a cd rom image [04:34] Xain: was there ever a FAT8? [04:34] ok, so EXT3 should do the job then? thanks a lot.. [04:34] Haha, yeah. [04:34] It was pointless though. [04:34] It was teh format for the old big black floppy disks. [04:35] Mount to "/BOOT"? [04:35] fresh jaunty upgrade, cheese doesn't find my webcam, camorama doesn't find /dev/video0 (I have no /dev/vid* anything). lsbusb reports a "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0545:800c Xirlink, Inc. Veo StingRay" === FoxBlitzz_ is now known as FoxBlitzz [04:36] Could anyone give me any tip's on how to go about increase system wide sound volume without having to install Pulse?

[04:37] my weather widget does not connect to my proxy [04:37] someone should tell me how to properly set one up [04:37] =) hint hint [04:38] sorry, just re-learning it myself. [04:38] denton: Thats a bug [04:38] not fixed yet? [04:38] :( [04:38] robin0800: many people have that problem then huh? [04:39] denton: have you tried any other weather widgets? [04:39] denton: It came up yesterday search the log! [04:41] how to i get the plasma widget for network manager ? [04:42] vikram: add widgits [04:43] i dont see it in the list anymore. i got an error - something like object instantiation error === Froad_ is now known as Froad [04:44] I have a question guy's. [04:44] This Konversation client run's off of a complete Freenode server correct? [04:45] vikram: Something you did uninstalled it you will have to reinstall it [04:45] Does that mean every channel i run into will be a Linux based channel? [04:45] vikram: make sure it's installed: plasma-widget-network-manager [04:46] Xain: irc.freenode.net is the server [04:46] Ok, thank you. [04:46] Xain: you can connect to other networks. [04:47] ok thanks . [04:48] devilsadvocate: both ubuntu and kubuntu use freenode [04:49] robin0800: yes... and?

[04:53] i can find the moniter [04:53] such as highlight and resize selected programs with mouse hover [04:53] denton: menu bar? you mean the menu? kmenu? [04:53] but when i try to save the conf file it says it cannot delete the orig file [04:54] denton: select application launch menu(traditional menu) from widget system (right click on the top right of the screen) [04:54] digdeep: thanks, ill try to take that all in [04:54] denton: I think if you right-click the kickoff menu there is an option to use the traditional menu [04:55] really? I'll check === lazy is now known as noobiasrex [04:56] I just upgraded to 9.04 and in firefox there's shadows around search boxes and buttons. Is this the way it is? [04:56] denton: As long as lock isn't on [04:57] i have it allsetup to work and when i go to save the xorg.conf i get an error saying unable to remove old x config backup file [04:57] gizmobay- I think it's because of gtk-qt-engine, which tries to make GTK programs look more like they fit in with KDE [04:58] noobiasrex: Are you root? [04:59] 'panel settings' are kind of helpful [04:59] Dragnslcr, can I upgrade a package to fix? [04:59] no im not root [05:00] robin0800 not sure how to login with root [05:00] does it have a password? [05:00] im very noob [05:00] with ubuntu that is [05:00] panel options>panel settings>more options [05:00] noobiasrex: dont log in with root :P [05:01] im not root [05:01] and it wont let me savet he file still [05:01] noobiasrex: if you want to use higher privileges, 'sudo' [05:01] noobiasrex: how are you editing it? [05:01] im changing a setting in my nvidia x server settings [05:01] type sudo before the command [05:01] theres no command [05:01] noobiasrex: I use konquer super user thing That is available but not enabled by default [05:01] oh... [05:02] im pushing saveto x configuration file [05:02] and its saying no [05:02] i cant turn on and visual effects either [05:02] i get some silly error. [05:02] hey yall [05:02] also after updating to 9.04 my sound dosent work anymore [05:02] im stumped [05:02] what's the command to start the nvidia config thingie? just put "kdesudo" before that [05:03] does anyone know how to get the old amarok back in 9.04? [05:03] i have no idea what the command line is [05:03] all hardware problems require specific values to be configured in a range of files... it takes time :( [05:03] noobiasrex: it's in the menu? [05:03] im used to an os listenening to me when i tell it to save something [05:03] noobiasrex: Alt F2 [05:04] i mean i clicked system_administration_nvidia x server settings [05:04] it finds my moniter [05:04] i clicked on seperate x screen [05:04] and it says i must save the file [05:04] I wonder where the shared directory for VMware is , and how to open it in linux [05:05] when i try to save the fil [05:05] file it tells me it cant delete the old backup [05:05] anyone? [05:05] noobiasrex: you need root privileges to edit that file [05:06] and if i cant log in to root how do i do it? [05:06] i pressed alt f2 [05:06] noobiasrex: You add sudo or kdesudo to the command [05:06] what command? [05:07] thers no command all im doing is clicking save file [05:07] noobiasrex: open the menu editor (kmenuedit) and find it in there to find out what the command is [05:07] noobiasrex: ill help you out [05:08] noobiasrex: hmm. [05:08] i found the command [05:08] noobiasrex: youll need to go to recovery and give your user root editing capablities [05:08] noobiasrex: You need to relaunch your program with root priviledges so it can save and dellete files [05:09] yeah that [05:09] noobiasrex: it's probably something like nvidia-config (I don't know because I've never used nvidia in linux) [05:09] so let me get this straight [05:09] Hi noobiasrex [05:10] theres no way to drag a window into another desktop on 1 monitor.. [05:10] hi daskreech [05:10] !twinview [05:10] twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [05:10] noobiasrex: Just put kdesudo in front of it [05:10] !dualhead [05:10] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [05:10] noobiasrex: so do this: kdesudo [05:10] !xinerama [05:10] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [05:10] hmmm? was that twin view in response to my question [05:10] Deskreech: thank you [05:11] Ill be sure to get that [05:11] and im going to make a text file for helpfull programs, and commands i hear on here [05:11] hello all [05:12] Wonder if anyone could help out... [05:12] now i need to set up hotkeys to add text files and such [05:12] :P [05:13] xeff: ask and you never know [05:13] :) [05:13] ok so from what ive gathered the command should look like this right [05:13] !ask > xeff [05:13] xeff, please see my private message [05:13] kdesudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings [05:14] noobiasrex: Yes [05:14] i cant thank you guys enough [05:14] i gotta restart x [05:14] brb [05:15] next issue is not having any sound [05:15] I am on jaunty jackalope and the network manager widget doesnt seem to work properly [05:15] xeff: Correct# [05:15] Any idea why? [05:16] bugs? [05:16] how can i set the windows key to show the start menu ? [05:16] windows key also called super key [05:16] :/ [05:17] noobiasrex: Yes the one you set up during install [05:18] Can someone tell me what is teh best distro i could ever use with a good compatibility with Intel chipset's? === lazy is now known as noobias [05:18] hi [05:19] ok well that worked [05:19] any answers please ? [05:19] is there a way to give my useraccount those controls without having to do all the cmdline stuff? [05:19] does anyone know if it is possible to install knoppix to a 8gb usb stick in kubuntu? [05:20] medjr: System seyttings Keyboard andmouse [05:21] noobias: what controls? [05:22] noobias: you could edit that item in the menu editor to run as a different user, and enter the user "root". that should pop up a window asking for your password whenever you run it. (that's what it normally should do anyway if it's changing system settings) [05:22] robin0800 i went there but i could not find where to configure it [05:23] so is there a way to get a bunch of virtual desktop like Mac Os? :O [05:25] denton_: should already have them [05:27] Hi. Trying to get my sound cards to work following an upgrade to Jaunty. Here they are: Card 0 : HDA ATI SB at 0xd2500000 irq 16, and Card 1 : HDA ATI HDMI at 0xd2410000 irq 19. [05:28] denton_: They took that from UNIX so hopefully yes :) [05:28] !sound [05:28] 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 [05:29] Daskreech: Thanks. [05:29] Didn't realize that 4.2 was still using ARTS ... [05:30] It can [05:31] linux stopped recognizing my usb hard drive [05:31] Daskreech: Ok. The 4.2 interface is entirely different... [05:32] I think ubottu needs his brain updated ... [05:33] Daskreech: I thought that 4.2 used phonon ... [05:33] Also, searching packages.ubuntu.com for "arts" doesn't return any relevant hits ... [05:35] so does i386 mean windows 32 bit [05:37] No. i386 is a processor. [05:37] i386 means means the processor architecture is a descendent of intel 386 [05:37] It can run Windows 32 bit. Or any other 32 bit OS. [05:37] as opposed to PPC (power pc) and x86_64 [05:38] girevikmoto: don't forget m68k. Linux was made for m68k [05:41] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Microprocessors <- there have been many processor architectures over the years [05:46] hi [05:47] so... i dont suppose anyone knows a fix to my usb harddrive problem? [05:47] is there any way(i mean some factory repos and stuff) to get you kde4 updated with the last svn version? [05:47] a few days ago my external harddrive stopped being detected [05:47] i plug it in, and it never shows up [05:47] lsusb shows its existence though [05:49] dmesg shows a bunch of i/o errors [05:49] but it works fine on a friends windows machine [05:50] any ideas? [05:51] kris: Correct and Phonon can use whatever so it can use it if you like [05:56] heres a question youve heard a thousand times [05:56] by now someone should have this on speed dial :P [05:57] how do get root privs on a standard account to install software [05:57] *beeppebeepboopboop* [05:57] :P [05:57] put sudo before the command you are using to install === administrator___ is now known as mds [05:58] okay i thought so [05:58] so its just the command that doesnt get recognized [05:58] weird.. i gotta get it working in VMware on windows to install shared directories [05:58] Daskreech: Ok. But how do I install arts? === mds is now known as mayfields [05:59] !arts [05:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about arts [05:59] !kde4 [05:59] KDE 4.2 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2.2 - Support in #kubuntu [06:00] !kde4.2 [06:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about kde4.2 [06:00] Daskreech: actually i need to do this install in X heh [06:00] denton_: kdesudo [06:00] hm .. thank you [06:02] Hi, I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and my network manager is gone... I lost all of my wep keys and had to plug into a wall to get network [06:02] It's not even there === word_ is now known as word [06:03] any suggestions on how to get wifi working again? (that grey globe thing worked well in 8.10) [06:04] Daskreech: can I add that kdesudo to a RPM file? [06:04] denton_: WOah what? [06:04] Daskreech: need to install rpm file (in root) i believe [06:05] need to do it by double clicking preferably [06:05] denton_: Which RPM ? [06:05] actually its a tool set for VMware [06:05] so this is where it gets confusing for me.. [06:05] denton_: did you want to install an rpm??? there are plenty of tools to convert rpm to deb [06:05] Where did you grab it from? [06:06] Plz help, my system is crypled... [06:06] it came with VMware (windowsXP) they designed a toolset for linux === aaron is now known as MrDarkUser [06:07] its also in tar.gz form but does not recognize the command [06:07] MrDarkUser: Crippled? [06:07] denton_: Which command? [06:08] Daskreech: yes, I figured that misspelling would catch somebodies attention.. also it appears that my new IRC client doesn't have spell checking to my dismay [06:08] Daskreech: yes, the wifi is down [06:09] Daskreech: it appears to just be the dissapearance of the network manager that was in 8.10.. that was ugly and missnamed but worked reliably.. and now there is nothing to replace it. [06:10] MrDarkUser: Did you try the plasmoid? [06:11] MrDarkUser: what about Wicd as a network manager [06:11] worked better for me in 9.04 than the default [06:11] If the plasmoid doesn't work try wicd [06:11] I got my wep key so If I can figure out where to use the configuration file, I should be able to use it... but it's gone.... [06:11] Daskreech: that plasmoid just showed what was connected, nothing to change, Trying Wicd [06:12] i could NOT hidden SSID with the built in wifi manager in kubuntu 9.04, I used wicd and never had much issue [06:13] Note, there are a whole bunch of really really cool settings under the System Settings network section.. but nothing to actually connect to a network :) [06:15] Idespnnr: well, wicd looks promissing, except it's redarded and telling me that encryption needs to be enabled... witch is a big DUH, just ask me for the key already [06:15] and I crashed it just by clicking the button a few times [06:16] ouch... dunno what your alernatives are then [06:16] unless you like bash... [06:16] you just have to expand the ssid name and click advanced settings before you try and connect [06:17] ah yea... it would be a 1 time setup thing for the initial connect [06:17] then wicd should do the rest automaticaly from then on [06:19] hi, where can i find libgailutil.so.18 [06:19] !find libgailutil.so.18 [06:19] File libgailutil.so.18 found in ia32-libs, libgail-dbg, libgail18 [06:19] There you go [06:21] Idespnnr: thanks much, [06:22] aaron: you had trouble with the builtin plasmoid wifi manager i take it? [06:22] Excellent. [06:23] Daskreech: great [06:23] Idespnnr: There was none when the computer turned on [06:23] awesome.. vmware tools installed successfully [06:23] Idespnnr: there was last time I saw it in 8.10 [06:24] Idespnnr: and I had seen it in the search menu in 8.10, but it wasn't there in 9.04 right after the upgrade... [06:25] Idespnnr: When I typed other stuff in, I got a program that showed what was connected, but no way to manage it, when I went to system settings, there were ways to define connections, and a hidden way to search for networks, and no way to say "connect" [06:26] Idespnnr: (the plasmoid was the one that only said what was conencted) [06:26] were you really connected? [06:26] Idespnnr: no, not with wifi [06:27] Idespnnr: I had to find a network jack to plug in .. I spent 1/2 hour poking about looking for anything === Drachenblut is now known as Lord_Drachenblut [06:28] there we go.. man that did something [06:28] Idespnnr: Also under system settings, I was able to type in connections, but then it kept asking me for my kdewallet, which was needless, it wouldn't let me do anything without kdewallet, so I had to poke about with wallet manager, delete one, then go back, and it appears that the network manager program [06:29] i was not able to add fade or slide windows effects until now :P [06:29] the transparent k bar is nice too [06:29] Idespnnr: anyway, I'm not trying to rant, I'll research more now that I'm online, it's just that anybody who depends on wifi can't jump from 8.10 to 9.04 at this time [06:30] im goin to log out and make sure changes are saved [06:30] this took me a few hours to achieve, lol [06:30] aaron: if you move to wicd you should be ok [06:31] remove and uninstall the plasmoid and replace with wicd via add/remove programs === denton is now known as Denton [06:43] aaron: i did and wifi works fine [06:45] raylu: I'm sure it works for most or it wouldn't have been released. could I get a screen shot of what the network manager looks like working ? (There was just a funky M and it said my ethernet was connected) [06:45] (JUST said the ethernet was connected) [06:45] aaron: i'm actually not on wireless right now. want the screeny anyway? [06:46] how can i completely remove kubuntu? [06:46] http://foor.res.cmu.edu/f/snapshot5.png [06:46] ubuntistas: are you dual-booting right now? [06:47] i can easily install LAMP server on my Ubuntu using tasksel. But how do I prevent it from autostarting or shutting it down? [06:48] johansja: you want to prevent the lamp stack from starting up when booting? [06:49] raylu, ya, i don't need the localhost server to run all the time [06:49] i am using this pc for development purpose only [06:49] johansja: sudo update-rc.d -n apache2 remove [06:49] raylu: yes please ;) [06:50] johansja: will perform a dry-run of removing apache2 from the rc.d [06:50] aaron: gave the link. http://foor.res.cmu.edu/f/snapshot5.png [06:50] raylu, and how do i start it manually after that? [06:50] johansja: switch -n with -f to actually remove all the symlinks [06:50] johansja: and do the same for mysqld [06:51] johansja: to start/stop it manually, sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start/stop/status/restart [06:51] hello [06:51] johansja: same for mysqld [06:51] raylu: thx [06:52] hello i've a question. what do you use for burn images in ubuntu "? [06:52] raylu: I did not have that big white thing with the check. [06:52] raylu, thanks [06:52] that's helpful [06:53] aaron: yeah, that icon is kinda strange... but the popup dialog looks nice :D [06:54] johansja: also to note: invoke-rc.d basically just runs thngs in /etc/init.d [06:54] Victorash: k3b [06:54] Any ideas? [06:54] aa [06:54] i'm on gnome [06:54] it's ok ??

[07:01] guys from romania are sleping :)) [07:02] !work [07:02] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [07:03] i have just installed kubuntu 9.04 [07:03] and install the Nvidia 180.44 driver [07:04] shahram, installed how [07:04] shahram: did you install it via package manager or download from nvidia website? [07:04] downalod from Nvidia site [07:04] probabaly need to recompile kernel module for the new kernel [07:05] ok i think i have to install the newer vertion [07:05] shahram, always use the package manager first [07:06] ok Thankyou [07:06] i'm using 180.51, it works fine [07:06] yaa i have to downalod it now [07:07] how can i see if my video drivers are updated? [07:07] Thankyou all [07:08] Victorash: if you use the package manager, it would show up in updates [07:09] raylu: .. I reinstalled network-manager-kde, and tried running NetworkManager and well, it didn't do anything worthwhile [07:09] nothing even close... what is the application name and package? [07:09] MrDarkUser: er, sorry, i don't remember helping you [07:10] i think you were talking to Daskreech [07:10] ah so it does it automatic [07:11] Victorash, yes, so always wise to use the package manager :) [07:11] raylu: .. oh, Aaron [07:12] i don't understand, u said it updates automatic [07:12] or should i search the driver in package manager [07:13] Victorash, yes, if you choose to check for updates/upgrades; you can set it to notify you on a regular basis if you wish [07:13] it's my second day on ubuntu [07:13] so\ [07:14] Victorash, or simply type into the konsole: sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade [07:14] is quite hard [07:15] it seems that i don't need any updates [07:16] i need a small, easy to use music player.now i have songbird, but i need something just for play music [07:16] raylu: I'm the guy who is very surprised not to have his wifi work after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04.. but it works with wicd [07:17] MrDarkUser: oh. can you get it working with iwconfig and dhclient?

When i'm compositing through opengl with qt4 I get wierd rectangle glitch outline boxes where the windows dissapear and only the background is shown. Is this a known issue? [07:56] victorash: like i said, it's an im-irc proxy [07:56] victorash: so you need an irc client [07:56] I'm not sure what to even search for to find it, i keep getting black rectangle bugs when i use google which is not the but i'm getting [07:56] victorash: which is why i also said you'd probably want kopete instead [07:56] i'd use kopete [07:56] i don't like it [07:57] so it's not what i'm looking for [07:57] what are you looking for, then?

In fact, in 9.04 there's no way to change gtk styles, it's hard coded. [13:39] ziroday: I found that qtcurve gave the best overall look and feel to gtk apps. Anything else did funky stuff w/ scroll bars and checkboxes (spec. in firefox) [13:40] ziroday: that's even with that scroll bar fix button in 8.04->8.10 [13:40] rmrfslash: okay thanks! [13:40] ziroday: in 9.04 the gtk looks very good. very well integrated. I haven't seen any bugs really.

[17:30] (going back to vista for flash.... oh, buy! :-)) [17:30] antoranz, i installed kubuntu_restricted_extras but i still dont have flash in konqueror [17:31] mmmmmm............ does that include the plugin? let me see [17:31] marco_PT: I know its a workround - but why not use firefox? [17:31] marco_PT: have tried update-alternatives? [17:31] marco_PT: that's a good advice for sure! [17:32] because caracters from konqueror are much more better then caracters displayed by firefox [17:33] does anyone knows an application for a sound system [17:33] i have a 5.1 sound system [17:33] update-alternatives? [17:33] 5 casses and the bassbooster [17:34] check if you have this package installed: flashplugin-nonfree [17:34] is that for me [17:34] antoranz , yes, without flash kubuntu is useless for me. I'm an internet user. I like to 100% web experience. If I was just a programmer or network administrator maybe I wouldnt mind not having flash [17:35] nope... marco_PT [17:35] marco_PT: It's not about experience, man.. it's about freedom! (just kidding :-)) [17:36] antoranz, yes, flashplugin-nonfree is installed [17:36] ok [17:36] marco_PT: if you are an internet user - less I understand why prefer konquereror over firefox [17:36] yes, but it will be a limited freedom :) [17:36] if you go to the preferences of konqueror, in the plugins section, did you ask it to update? [17:36] antoranz, yes [17:37] ok, hold on... I'm going there [17:37] BooVeMan_work, why firefox if there is konqueror? [17:38] marco_PT: for konqueror was and always will be a file browser - but thats me [17:38] characters displayed by konqueror are 1000 times better then those from firefox. by caracters I mean fonts [17:38] marco_PT: firefox allows extensions - never noticed any difference in that [17:39] if it is mainly a file browser why there is no firfox by default on kubuntu? === kenan is now known as Guest59597 [17:40] marco_PT: Well.... let's just say that firefox is "better" (don't intend to start a war here, so take it easy) [17:40] well... marco_PT: the plugin does show up in my list of plugins [17:41] antoranz, i know it's better but i really like konqueror [17:41] is there a so that's related to flash in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/? [17:42] slt [17:42] if I switch IPs on interfaces eth0 and eth1 will the rules of the ufw-firewall still apply correctly when I "ufw enable" it? [17:42] antoranz, yes, it shows up. but there is no flash at all. I try for example youtube and I cant see any flash content [17:43] ok... in the list of directories in konqueror's plugins page, is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin/ in there? [17:44] does compiz fusion work with this? [17:45] and kopete doesn't show the pics of people who's online [17:45] I'm checking and I can see youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ68hjB-RBo [17:45] commander_: I think you can enable compiz... but kde4 has it's own 3d stuff built in [17:46] yeah i know but it don't have the domino,fire,or skewer animation i had on ubuntu [17:47] does anyone how can i enter the ubuntu romania chat? [17:47] claudio_: /join #ubuntu-ro [17:47] claudio_: /join #ubuntu-roo [17:47] thx [17:47] er, you get the idea [17:47] * genii hands Pici a coffee [17:48] !ro | claudio_ [17:48] claudio_: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [17:50] finally I have flash :) [17:51] marco_PT: what was it? [17:51] What's a good msn client for linux? I tried pidgin, but file transfers are slow and I keep getting switchboard errors. I also tried kopete, which is clunky. Is there anything else? [17:51] p-f: amsn [17:51] BooVeMan_work: is that the one whose interface is all in tk? [17:52] p-f: no idea - happy with pidgin [17:52] BooVeMan_work: ah yup, it's the tk one [17:52] can anybody please "ping 129.187.157.200" and tell me if it works? [17:53] amgarching: works for me [17:53] anything else? [17:54] p-f have you tried pidgin with msn-pecan? [17:54] What is Jockey?? [17:54] BooVeMan_work: ah I didn't know about msn-pecan - I'll have a look at it, thanks [17:55] marco_PT: glad you don't have to go back to vista [17:55] what was the problem? [17:55] MikHel: manages closed source hardware drivers [17:55] !jockey [17:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about jockey [17:55] !info jockey-kde [17:55] jockey-kde (source: jockey): KDE user interface and desktop integration for driver management. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5-0ubuntu10 (jaunty), package size 6 kB, installed size 120 kB [17:56] Where do I find it in the menus? === scott_ is now known as Guest91541 [17:56] Pici: thanks, can you try it one more time? [17:57] MikHel: system -> hardware drivers [17:57] amgarching: works again [17:58] amgarching: lemme reboot it for you [17:58] Pithanks [17:58] one sec [17:59] BooVeMan_work: OK I found it and it tells me madwifi is not active. ath5k does not work for me so I want to go back to madwifi, but I cannot activate it. If I press "activate" it grays out, but the madwifi is also grayed out still. What gives? [17:59] p-f, I use bitlbee + irssi + irssiproxy + xchat [17:59] BooVeMan_work: neat, it actually works [17:59] like http://lupine.me.uk/blog/?p=8 [17:59] p-f: welcome [17:59] Pici: thanks again. [17:59] lupine_85: I'll also have a look, thanks [18:00] awesome if you happen to have a remote server sat around [18:00] MikHel: in konsole kdesu jockey-kde ? [18:00] pepperjack: are you serious? Tell me if you anything I should know. [18:00] BooVeMan_work: I will try that. Right now I am rebooting [18:00] MikHel: kdesudo [18:00] where can I get a lower kernel version ie: 2.6.27-xx-generic to install on my jaunty install? [18:00] no kdesu [18:01] gundam_rx78nt1: why would you do that? [18:01] gundam_rx78nt1, in the intrepid/hardy repos [18:01] the current kernel will not permit me to connect to wpa-enterprise encrypted networks. [18:01] the older kernel on 8.10 works fine. [18:01] but you might want to try a .29 instead [18:02] .29 still doesn't work. [18:02] fair enough [18:02] I even tried 30rc and it fails to connect to wpa-eap networks. [18:03] so I believe the "downgrade" will work. [18:03] amgarching: sorry i was joking. not really apropriate for this channel :) seems that something is bound to port 22 on your server but the problem is you cant connect is that right? im not sure what the problem would be. if is a remote server you might have someone bounce it for you [18:04] amgarching: i am for instance unable to even telnet to port 22 on that ip [18:04] pepperjack, firewall in the way? [18:04] (what is the IP?) [18:05] lupine_85: amgarching's ip is 129.187.157.200 [18:05] or the server in question is that ip [18:06] any ideas why my soundcard likes to die after coming back from suspend-to-ram? [18:07] the device is still there, there just isn't any sound (usually the device just goes away until I reboot though...) [18:07] * lupine_85 reckons there's a -j DROP somewhere between him and there. that, or the daemon is broken [18:07] pepperjack: good to know, I am kind of not allowed to "ssh" from anywhere. Was testing if firewall is any good. [18:07] kill it, start a netcat server, see if you get anything through? [18:07] amgarching: ah [18:07] guys how to create user using command useradd ? i wanna create user with name , psw and add him to group [18:07] can someone write me an example [18:07] how to do it? [18:08] hey- my audio has a annoying echo. I dont get it.. - if i play music.. it stutters like crazy. meanwhile if i goto the system settings- and play a test file from the multimedia area.. it sounds fine. [18:09] Mazugrazus: "man useradd" or rather "man adduser" [18:09] What IRC client is easy to do split window so I can watch both ubuntuclassroom and ubuntu-classroon-chat at the same time? [18:09] Mazugrazus, use adduser instead [18:09] amgarching: i am read man useradd 20 times... and i cant create. [18:10] adduser is much easier: adduser foo [18:10] Mazugrazus: don't use useradd, use adduser instead. [18:10] lupine_85: i am writing bash script so i need to use user add becouse if i use adduser i cant write like this adduser user_name user_psw [18:11] if i use useradd i create user but cant log in with him [18:11] does your useradd user have a shell? [18:11] yes [18:11] exactly, this what the first line of "man useradd" is suggesting [18:12] create new user or update existing [18:12] Mazugrazus, paste the /etc/passwd line? [18:13] root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash [18:13] Mazugrazus: useradd -d /dev/null -c "Exim Daemon" -g exim -s /bin/false -u 31 exim, Bad example I know [18:13] why are you creating a root: user? [18:14] i am creating bash script [18:14] witch must creat users [18:14] m [18:15] BooVeMan_work: Thanks. It solved my problem. Though I had to reboot twice. I guess more reboots will tell me if there is a randomness to the success :) [18:15] here is my code: http://www.paste.lt/paste/5b598593a18062a75ecf56899e20109e [18:15] and the line i need to fix is 8 [18:16] if i could set pasword using adduser i would but i dont know any options witch could help me [18:16] to do like this: adduser
