[00:00] <superboy> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[00:00] <AceKing> Tamagotono: How do I find the app after it installed if it didn't go in the menus?
[00:00] <superboy>   python-packagekit libpackagekit-glib11 libpackagekit-qt11 packagekit
[00:00] <superboy>   packagekit-backend-apt
[00:00] <superboy> Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
[00:00] <superboy> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[00:00] <superboy> thats what it says
[00:00] <Project-Emerald> Can someone help me with JRE?
[00:00] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: Still there
[00:00] <CoJaBo-Aztec> ?
[00:00] <Jack8899> Tamagotono: smplayer does not have audio too.
[00:00] <Project-Emerald> It won't work loading a Java game... I have tried KubuntuRestrictedExtras, sudo apt-get install jre6 or w.e and the website DL and it still won't work
[00:01] <Tamagotono> AceKing: if it's not in the menu then type "which" then the name of the app.  that should give you the path.
[00:01] <AceKing> Tamagotono: Thanks!
[00:02] <Jack8899> Tamagotono: kaffeine uses the oss-audio-module or something. Is this helpful?
[00:03] <Project-Emerald> !ping | Project-Emerald
[00:03] <Tamagotono> superboy: please avoid pasting multiple lines to keep from flooding the channel.  Use pastbin if needed.
[00:03] <Tamagotono> superboy: it looks like it is already installed.  was your browser open when you installed it originally?
[00:03] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: The problem is when spinning the cube with the mouse, it jumps around instead of rotating.

[00:05] <superboy> http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/168193/ need help with this cant play you tube videos
[00:07] <darkmatter> does anyone have an idea why the system-monitor-network plasmoid isn't showing any numbers?
[00:07] <superboy> http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/168193/ need help with this cant play you tube videos
[00:07] <superboy> yes my browser was open
[00:09] <Tamagotono> superboy: try closing then restarting your browser and see if it works.  It may not recognize that it has the plugin to do flash yet.
[00:09] <Tamagotono> CoJaBo: what video chipset do you have?  Did it work properly in previous versions of kubuntu?
[00:11] <Project-Emerald> Can someone help me install JavaRuntimeEnvironment?
[00:11] <Tamagotono> Jack8899: so, is kaffeine working with audio?  if so, oss may be the key
[00:12] <Tamagotono> Project-Emerald: what java game are you trying to run?  post a link and I'll try it on my machine...
[00:16] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: I found the problem: I have to boot the system without the external monitor attached. o_O
[00:16] <Project-Emerald> Anyone here know anything about the ATI Radeon 9200PRO / 9250?
[00:17] <Tamagotono> CoJaBo: laptop then?  let me guess... intel chipset?
[00:17] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: Yes. Any idea why that happens?
[00:19] <Jack8899> Tamagoton: I just installed alsa-firmware. Amarok has sound now. What should I do with oss then? Why is it the key?
[00:20] <Tamagotono> intel video chipsets are very underpowered compaired to nvidia or ATI.  You got low framerates because it could not handle all of the video processing required for two screens.  You probably also had a higher resolution on you external, which compounded the problem.
[00:20] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: It works perfectly if I plug the monitor in only affter logging in to KDE, but doing so requires a weird hardware hack (plugging the keyboard input into a PS2/USB mouse adapter) to get the KVM switch to recognize something is attached at that point... This is really confusing o_O
[00:20] <Jack8899> Tamagoton: *smplayer and songbird still have no sound
[00:21] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: The problem isn't framerate tho, the animation is perfectly smooth, its the movement of the cube itself that was eratic.
[00:22] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: I'm guessing theres a difference in the way the second output is initialized, but I cannot imagine how that would effect the movement like that...
[00:22] <Tamagotono> Jack8899: I reasoned that if one application is using a different sound architecture and it was the only one working, then that was important.  I have to admit that I am in over my head a bit with this issue though...
[00:23] <Jack8899> Tamagotono: But how do I make the other apps use that audio-module too?
[00:24] <kyle__> anybody use fedora?
[00:25] <_Whipper__> kyle__: tried for a while.. didnt like it..
[00:25] <Tamagotono> CoJaBo: Weird!  I would agree with you that it is probably the way it is initalized.  I would recommend checking out the forums on the compiz website to see if there is a fix for it.
[00:25] <nestor> ayuda con bandluxe c100
[00:25] <kyle__> kubutu your greates os yet?
[00:26] <kyle__> greatest*
[00:26] <spiroo> Could someone tip me about some damn nice PHP editor for KDE environment?
[00:26] <_Whipper__> kyle__: nope.. but thats not for discussion .. :)
[00:26] <kyle__> lol
[00:27] <_Whipper__> Kubuntu is great, theres no question.. just too many bugs.. but still its great :)

[00:28] <spiroo> anyone?
[00:28] <_Whipper__> kyle__: find out it yourself :)
[00:29] <kyle__> takes way to much time.. i hope its not windows
[00:30] <kyle__> but i guess ill pull out my virtual box and try a few
[00:30] <_Whipper__> no, not Win :)
[00:30] <K`zan> Is there someway in kde4 (9.04) to change the network connection.  The box gets dhcp but it doesn't show up in System Setting->Network Settings.  I can set it manually but if I can do it in kde I'd rather.
[00:31] <_Whipper__> kyle__: Debian is a good choise to start :)
[00:32] <_Whipper__> kyle__: you'll learn the basics at the same time :)
[00:32] <kyle__> costs cash.. ill look for a torrent
[00:34] <Tamagotono> Jack8899: each app would have to be configured seperatly.  If they can be, it should be in their configuration menus.  afraid I am not much help beyond that... :(
[00:35] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Tamagotono: lol my head hurts just thinking about it!
[00:35] <_Whipper__> kyle__: ? no money needed
[00:36] <kyle__> Debian 5.0.1 costs 20 bucks at distro
[00:39] <kyle__> i got it nvm whipper
[00:44] <pietje_phuck> Does any one know how to get a "Logitech, QuickCam Chat" working?
[00:44] <superboy> when i try to install lime wire it says i need java runtime enviroment
[00:45] <superboy> how do i go about that?
[00:45] <Tamagotono> kyle__: http://www.debian.com/distrib/  you can get the direct download or the torrent there.
[00:45] <pietje_phuck> superboy:  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[00:48] <superboy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/168204/ this is what it says
[00:48] <kyle__> how you like debian?
[00:49] <superboy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/168204/ this is what it says how do i make lime wire run on java
[00:50] <_Whipper__> kyle__: its my in my main-machine, figure it out from that :)
[00:50] <pietje_phuck> superboy: sudo apt-get autoremove
[00:53] <superboy> once i do auutoremove i go ahead and do the install
[00:53] <austin> when I try to install the restricted nvidia drivers, it just sits at 0% of "Downloading and installing driver..."
[00:53] <austin> any idea how I fix this?
[00:55] <pietje_phuck> Does any one know how to get a "Logitech, QuickCam Chat" working?
[00:55] <Tamagotono> austin: I think I have seen my computer do this before.  I think I just gave it more time and it was actually working, just didn't look like it was...
[00:55] <CoJaBo-Aztec> austin: Did you install all software updates first?
[00:55] <austin> yes
[00:55] <austin> and I wait until it fails (which is about 5 minutes)
[00:56] <CoJaBo-Aztec> austin: I had to reboot and keep trying the software update and the driver installer before it worked. It took several reboots before the package manager even detected that there were updates.
[00:59] <austin> I have rebooted about 10 times
[00:59] <austin> and kept trying
[00:59] <austin> so..
[00:59] <superboy> what repo source gives me "security testing tolls"?
[01:00] <superboy> tools*
[01:00] <jp10558> Has anyone gotten a Linksys WMP54GS wireless PCI adapter to work in 9.04?
[01:00] <austin> is there some other way to install them outside this little restricted hardware thing?
[01:00] <FuriousGeorge> does anyone know how to automatically mount windows LDM stripes in linux?
[01:01] <superboy> how couuuld u check if uuu have a wireless adapter?
[01:01] <FuriousGeorge> i can manually do it using mdadm --build if I specify a chunk size of 64.  i cant for the life of me figure out how to do this in mdadm.conf
[01:01] <CoJaBo-Aztec> austin: It might be nessacery to install it manually with apt-get, try googling it to see if something comes up.
[01:01] <pietje_phuck> lspci or lsusb
[01:01] <Tamagotono> austin: try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-180-kernel source nvidia-glx-180" in a command line
[01:01] <CoJaBo-Aztec> ^ like that lol
[01:01] <superboy> what repo source gives me "security testing tools"?
[01:02] <superboy> how couuuld u check if u have a wireless adapter?
[01:03] <austin> Couldn't find package nvidia-180-kernel
[01:04] <austin> im not sure my card is supported in 180
[01:04] <superboy> how couuuld u check if u have a wireless adapter?
[01:04] <Tamagotono> oops. "sudo apt-get install nvidia-180-kernel-source nvidia-glx-180"     note the "-" between kernel and source...
[01:05] <Tamagotono> austin: what chipset does your nvidia card use?
[01:07] <Tamagotono> superboy: "lspci |grep -i wireless" is likely to show you.  if not then replace "lspci" with "lsusb"
[01:09] <Tamagotono> superboy: you can also try "lshw" in place of "lspci" if the others don't work...
[01:10] <petersk> hello, everyone.  I have been on the Kubuntu forum with my problem and can't seem to get anywhere.  I was hoping to find some help here.  I cannot get my kdm to show video since upgrading from LTS 8.04
[01:10] <petersk> When booting, it blinks a few times and then goes to a log in prompt.
[01:11] <Tamagotono> petersk: post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to pastbin and post the link here.  I'll take a quick look and see if anything stands out...
[01:13] <superboy> ok ill try it bro
[01:13] <Tamagotono> austin: if you type "apt-cache show nvidia-glx-180" it gives a list of supported chipsets, if you are still in need of it.
[01:13] <petersk> should I just copy and paste it here or is there a way to "upload it"?  I'm definately a IRC noob...  My posts on the forum have the file as well at http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3103257.0
[01:14] <austin> yeah, I dont see it in the list
[01:14] <Tamagotono> NO! do not paste multiple lines here.  the link you gave is just fine.
[01:15] <petersk> as shown in the post, I've since added Device "nv"
[01:15] <Tamagotono> austin: try using "apt-cache search nvidia-glx" to get a list of the drivers then use the previous command (substituting 180 with the other versions) and see if you can find which driver supports your chipset.
[01:15] <austin> it is in the list for 173
[01:16] <austin> which is the one I have been trying to activate
[01:16] <leo_rockway> hello everyone
[01:16] <petersk> sorry, "Driver "nv"" in the Device section
[01:16] <leo_rockway> can anybody help me debug an app? I need somebody to install python-qt and see if importing it works.
[01:16] <jp10558> does anyone know why a wireless connection would show unavilable in 9.04?
[01:16] <bdniner> hello
[01:17] <austin> I think the package is downloaded fine
[01:17] <austin> I just cant seem to activate it
[01:18] <kaddi> hi, apt-get is blocking 2 updates for amarok, how can i find out why they are blocked and solve the problem
[01:18] <ncfi1013_> why can't i delete/load songs to/from my ipod in amarok 2?
[01:19] <ncfi1013__> why can't i delete/load songs to/from my ipod in amarok 2?
[01:19] <Dnikrednuw> hey, how do i get konversation to open links in swiftox??
[01:19] <jp10558> I've gotten wlan0 to show up under wireless in the network manager, but when I hit scan, it doesn't show any wireless networks
[01:21] <spyda9> jp10558: type ifconfig |grep inet and see if you have an IP address
[01:22] <adam> hi is it possible to mount bt6 images on ubuntu
[01:23] <bazhang> adam_, what is bt6
[01:23] <adam_> cd image
[01:23] <adam_> similar to iso
[01:24] <bazhang> proprietary format?
[01:24] <adam_> ???
[01:25] <adam_> think so
[01:26] <adam_> ive looked on the web and can''t find anything about mounting the image
[01:28] <bazhang> what created it adam_
[01:29] <Fieldy> !esata
[01:29] <Fieldy> !external sata
[01:29] <adam_> my freind put some files on to that type of image
[01:30] <adam_> i don't know what with
[01:30] <bazhang> adam_, no mention of that image type anywhere I can see
[01:30] <bazhang> for any OS, let alone Ubuntu/Kubuntu
[01:30] <Fieldy> hi, I'm using 9.04. I attached an external drive via eSATA. it's a seagate 500GB drive. the system doesn't see it at all. I have tried rebooting after attaching it, with no luck. scsiadd -s doesn't show it, and there are no kernel messages regarding it. this same drive works fine over usb. any ideas?
[01:30] <jp10558> nothing spyda9
[01:31] <jp10558> I'm pretty sure it's not getting anything because ifconfig doesn't show wlan0
[01:31] <adam_> i know daemon tools can mount it, i just don't think that they work on linux
[01:31] <jp10558> but iwconfig does. ... but no IP...
[01:31] <bazhang> adam_, then you might try daemon tools via wine, check the appdb to see if it works
[01:31] <kaddi> where can i get a version of amarok2 that plays CDs?
[01:31] <bazhang> !appdb
[01:31] <adam_> thx
[01:34] <spyda9> jp10558: try typing sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[01:35] <petersk> Tamagotono: here's the pastebin:http://pastebin.com/m48cf7bef
[01:43] <Tamagotono> petersk: I don't know what to suggest.  mando_hacker seemed to cover all the bases that I can think of.  Sorry.  I'll bookmark your thread and will chime in if I think of anything...
[01:44] <petersk> OK, thanks,  I think it has something to do with 1.6 of xorg, but I don't know what specifically changed from 1.5 other than the xorg.conf doesn't seem to have all the usual stuff in it.
[01:45] <Tamagotono> adam_: you could try mounting it as a loop device. Not sure if it will work, but worth a shot.  "sudo mount -o loop yourFile.bt6 /mnt" will try to mount it in the /mnt folder.
[01:49] <jp10558> hmm, I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[01:50] <austin> how do I run a program from the console without cause it to block console execution?
[01:50] <ncfi1013__> why can't i delete/load songs to/from my ipod in amarok 2?
[01:51] <jimmy51_home> i used to use an application in windows called "Audiograbber" to veeery easily get CDDB data and rip my CD's to Mp3's.  Is there a Kubuntu equivalent?
[01:51] <kyle__> man virtual box is the best thing since sliced bread
[01:51] <AlexZion> hi everyone, I got a problem trying to install virtualbox 2.2 on Kubuntu jaunty, I always get an undefined error , someone have an idea about how canI fix it ... ?
[01:51] <Tamagotono> austin: add "&" after the command (without the quotes) but before hitting enter
[01:52] <austin> thanks
[01:52] <Tamagotono> austin: did you get your driver working?
[01:53] <austin> yes
[01:56] <jp10558> hmm, now it says wlan interface not updated yet
[01:59] <jp10558> Is there a known working howto for Kubuntu 9.04 And a linksys WMP54GS card?
[01:59] <austin> where would the option to turn off the monitor after so many minutes be?
[02:00] <kaddi> austin go to system settings, advanced, power management. there you can create (or change) a profile to your taste
[02:01] <ncfi1013__> why can't i delete/load songs to/from my ipod in amarok 2?
[02:01] <ncfi1013_> why can't i delete/load songs to/from my ipod in amarok 2?
[02:04] <Tamagotono> austin: system settings->advanced (tab)->power management
[02:04] <Wazmyn> Anybody else having trouble conecting to a wireless router with the SSID hidden?
[02:07] <Tamagotono> Wazmyn: yup!  I had to switch to using wicd instead of knetworkmanager.  you can also use the gnome network applet, as it supports hidden ssid
[02:08] <Wazmyn> Tamagotono: how do i go about switching to another manager?
[02:08] <SJr> I don't have any Keyboard Settings, in System Settings?
[02:08] <Wazmyn> Tamagotono: it's working now that I unhid the SSID so I'm thinking it might not be worth the bother
[02:09] <superboy> my songs dont launch in limewire is there a good music playerfor kubuntu
[02:16] <Tamagotono> jimmy51_home: try "grip" it is for gnome but should work fine in KDE and I have heard lots of good things about it.
[02:17] <superboy> my songs dont launch in limewire is there a good music playerfor kubuntu
[02:17] <Tamagotono> superboy: try amarok.  One of the best out there!
[02:18] <kaddi> only that its not able to play cds right now XD
[02:19] <Tamagotono> true, but I haven't used any audio cd's in my computer in years.  I just rip them (or download them) and play the files from my computer.
[02:20] <superboy> is there a good video playerfor kubuntu
[02:20] <kaddi> i spent 2 days trying to figure out how to play cds with amarok, because the idea that a music player would intentionally remove CD-support never crossed my mind
[02:20] <superboy> my amarok is sugesting i add packages for extra stuff how i go about that?
[02:22] <kaddi> it'll be back in 2.2 though. Till then I'll have to make do... I'm trying out kdsc right now...but maybe I'll just drop amarok for another musicplayer
[02:22] <Tamagotono> superboy: "sudo apt-get install" followed by the packages it is suggesting
[02:23] <kaddi> anyhow.. I'm just blabbering and have not much information to offer ;) I wish you all good night and a good time 'til we meet again
[02:23] <Tamagotono> kaddi: I just use vlc for most everything that amarok doesn't do (and some of what it does do)
[02:23] <Tamagotono> goodnight.
[02:23] <superboy> when i configure collection for amarok what do i do or choose?
[02:24] <kaddi> Tamagotono: there also is mplayer, kaffeine, totem and I don't know what, but somehow all those apps never crossed my mind while trying to play my cd ;)
[02:24] <kaddi> cu :)
[02:26] <superboy> what does the debuuuuuugging symbol do for amarok
[02:26] <superboy> ?
[02:27] <kyle_> has anybody tried mint or open suse
[02:31] <petersk> kyle_:  I used to use opensuse.
[02:31] <kyle_> any good?
[02:31] <Tamagotono> Doh!  My shift is almost over and I have a 3 hour project to finish in .... an hour and a half!  gotta go!
[02:31] <petersk> I found there wasn't a good upgrade procedure to new releases of the distros though... For instance going from 9 to 10, 10 to 11.
[02:32] <petersk> Tamagotono: see you later.
[02:34] <superboy> what does the debuuuuuugging symbol do for amarok
[02:34] <superboy> when i configure collection for amarok what do i do or choose?
[02:34] <magyar> hi, trying to install kubuntu, but having a hard time to configure software raid during install. Can anyone help with this issue?
[02:34] <magyar> version 9.04
[02:35] <superboy> whats software raid?
[02:35] <magyar> there seems to be no selection for partition type "software raid"
[02:35] <magyar> mdadm
[02:35] <magyar> superboy:  ^
[02:36] <superboy> kuz theres a hidden partition im trying to delete i think it has to do with raid
[02:37] <petersk> superboy: have you tried gparted
[02:37] <petersk> Run from a knoppix disk or other bootable CD?
[02:38] <superboy> yea put it doesent show up only when i try to install windows vista it shows but cant format kus its copy-write
[02:38] <superboy> i have an acer aspire x1700
[02:38] <petersk> so you have booted using knoppix and run gparted?
[02:40] <superboy> no i have use windows vista install cd and it shows up as "X:Boot" when i but of kubuntu it doesent show
[02:40] <superboy> i have knoppix but no gui shows kuxz x-windows dont work or start up
[02:41] <superboy> when i configure collection for amarok what do i do or choose?
[02:42] <petersk> Oh, well, Knoppix allows you to try different drivers upon startup , like starting with just a vesa video -- will be like someone drew on your screen with a crayon, but at least you should get a gui
[02:42] <petersk> Don't know, I don't use amarok
[02:42] <petersk> You could also try fdisk.
[02:42] <petersk> that might be a little tougher though to delete partitions.
[02:58] <bdizzle> hi, when I switched from 8.04 to 9.04, the total volume of my speakers on my laptop went down
[02:58] <bdizzle> where it used to be able to go much louder than now. Any way to fix that issue?
[02:58] <superboy_> yea mines too how do i go about fixing it?
[03:01] <superboy_>  hi, when I switched from 8.04 to 9.04, the total volume of my speakers on my laptop went down
[03:01] <superboy_> i mean on my pc
[03:04] <jp10558> I'm not at all sure how to figure out where my problem is with wireless: http://joshuahoover.com/2009/04/11/kubuntu-904-wifi-problem-solved/ I've tried this, but it doesn't work... scan does nothing... How does one determine if the ndiswrapper drivers actually are working

[03:15] <tdapple> lol...whatcha need?
[03:15] <user__> for wine of course
[03:15] <bdizzle> okay, apparently to partially fix the sound issue, install the alsamixergui and check the level of the master volume
[03:16] <user__> somebody have any clue?
[03:16] <tdapple> user__: you would be better off going on the wine channel
[03:16] <tdapple> user__: i personally don't use non kde apps
[03:16] <user__> humm.. also is my first time on this irc.. xD

[03:18] <tdapple> user__: join #winehq
[03:19] <user__> Makuseru: dont disable it.. use it!
[03:19] <Makuseru> user__: That hardly helps my problem.
[03:19] <user__> jaaaaaaaaaa... is not a problem
[03:20] <user__> hummm.. i dont know english.. maybe i miss understand.. :S
[03:20] <Makuseru> Obviously for me it is, or I wouldn't have asked abou tit.
[03:20] <user__> sorry.. hehee
[03:20] <user__> enjoy linux.. xD
[03:20] <Makuseru> I've been using Kubuntu for nearly three years.
[03:21] <user__> not me.. I was using ubuntu.. thats my first time using kubuntu.. or k enviroment
[03:21] <Dragnslcr> Makuseru- you happen to have Tab Mix Plus installed?
[03:22] <user__> and.. about the way.. i need to found dreamweaver to istall it!!.. any help?
[03:22] <Makuseru> Dragnslcr: I don't have any add ons.
[03:22] <Dragnslcr> Makuseru- it's probably somewhere in Preferences, but the only place I see it is in the Tab Mix Plus options, so I don't know where it would be otherwise
[03:23] <Makuseru> Dragnslcr: I looked all through preferences and couldnt find anything abou tit.
[03:24] <user__> Makuseru: sorry.. I just understand your problem.. and.. you are right.. thats a problem.. xD
[03:25] <Makuseru> user__: Lol.
[03:26] <Dragnslcr> Makuseru- very first result in Google for "firefox middle click linux" says that the about:config option is middlemouse.contentLoadURL
[03:27] <Makuseru> Dragnslcr: I just found that, Lol.
[03:28] <user__> xD
[03:29] <Makuseru> Dragnslcr: That apparently isnt the problem here, as i jsut set it to false and its still doing it
[03:30] <user__> restart the browser
[03:35] <shawn_> hello!!!!
[03:35] <shan123> hi
[03:35] <shawn_> have you used the nubuntu yet :)
[03:35] <shan123> how are you
[03:36] <shan123> kubuntu but not a nub lol
[03:36] <shawn_> haha its the netbook version, pretty slick but based off gnome unfortunately
[03:37] <shan123> im looking into buying a netbook but would want kde, i like the style much better
[03:37] <ramon> Hi all...could anybody help??
[03:37] <shan123> can try shoot
[03:37] <shawn_> oh me too definitely, but if you run the netbook remix of ubuntu, you wouldnt even need kde, it's just all kind of there and very non-gnomish
[03:37] <shawn_> ramon> go!
[03:38] <ramon> The problem is, i cannot listen to the music on youtube videos
[03:38] <ramon> it's kind of a dirty noise...
[03:38] <shan123> what media playerr do you have associated with web browser
[03:38] <ramon> there's no sound...but in videos that I've downloaded i can perfectly listen to the music
[03:38] <user__> hey.. i comment.. today is my first day using kubuntu.. and i found it great!!!!!!!
[03:39] <jp10558> what does a lock with a red circle thing through it for wireless mean?
[03:39] <user__> *a comment
[03:39] <ramon> shan123: how do I know that?
[03:39] <shan123> not connected
[03:39] <ramon> ow where can i change it
[03:39] <spyda9> ramon: if sound works on local media files just not in your browser its most likely your flash plugin
[03:39] <shan123> what web browser are you using
[03:40] <ramon> firefox 3,0
[03:41] <shan123> i would follow spyda9's advice and install flash as a firefox add on
[03:41] <ramon> i have installed in my computer kubuntu-restricted-extras, flashplugin-nonfree
[03:42] <ramon> let me try it
[03:42] <shan123> do you have mplayer installed?
[03:42] <ramon> yes but i'm using VLC
[03:43] <shan123> let me look at something brb
[03:44] <ramon> ok!
[03:45] <shawn_> ramon> try rebooting xp, haha jk. but i agree probably the plugin
[03:46] <mrunagi> !wireless
[03:46] <ramon> shawn_: what's your advice? reinstall it?
[03:46] <ramon> from konsole
[03:46] <shan123> i have firefox 3.010 and it runs youtube fine, redo install flash and maybe add mplayer add in
[03:47] <shawn_> i think there are settings in your home folder under ~/.mozilla you could try removing the firefox settings to reset the plugins
[03:47] <mrunagi> does the new kubuntu just not like wep?
[03:47] <ramon> shawn_: how do i reset it? sorry but i'm new on linux
[03:47] <kyle_> hey does virtual box only support 32 bit
[03:47] <shan123> it seams to work fine here, make sure its not trying to use passkey
[03:47] <mrunagi> what does it need to us?e
[03:48] <mrunagi> i have to use hex?
[03:48] <shan123> hex yes
[03:48] <shan123> most times
[03:48] <mrunagi> ill give it a try
[03:48] <shan123> what encryption are you using on router
[03:49] <ken_> ramon, make sure the mozilla mplayer pluging is installed. check this inadept
[03:49] <kyle_> i have a 64 bit AMD Athlon and im trying to run 64 bit OpenSuse and its telling me that it doesnt support my 32 bit puter
[03:49] <ramon> ken_: where can i see it?
[03:49] <ramon> or how do i know it?
[03:50] <ken_> just type mozilla mplayer pluggin in the seach.
[03:50] <ramon> mm  ok...let me try it
[03:51] <ken_> or just type in mplayer and look at list to see if the pluggin is installed. if not install it.
[03:51] <shan123> mrunagi did it work?
[03:51] <mrunagi> shan123: i cant even get into the router it keeps telling me that the network is down
[03:52] <shan123> what kind of router are you using?
[03:52] <mrunagi> dlink dir-615
[03:52] <shawn_> ramon> to check what plugins firefox is using there is a url you can type into firefox: about:plugins
[03:52] <shan123> what version of kubuntu are you using?
[03:52] <mrunagi> 9.04
[03:52] <mrunagi> im not impressed so far
[03:52] <mrunagi> lol
[03:52] <shan123> does network manager reconize the network?
[03:53] <mrunagi> its always sseen it
[03:53] <ramon> shawn_: there's no mplayer plugin
[03:53] <shawn_> hmmmm go to your package manager and install mplayer-plugin
[03:53] <shawn_> it will be like mozilla mplayer plugin or similar
[03:53] <shawn_> close firefox b tw
[03:54] <shan123> does it allow attempt to connect and ask for key?
[03:54] <mrunagi> it attempts to connect after i put in the key then fails
[03:54] <spyda9> ramon: just go to adobe's site and download the adobe flash plugin...if you use package manager search for flashplugin-nonfree
[03:55] <shan123> using hex code?
[03:55] <ramon> mozila mplayer - there's no result
[03:55] <mrunagi> no
[03:55] <mrunagi> i dont have a key set right now
[03:55] <mrunagi> i hard reset the router
[03:55] <shawn_> oh yeah i forgot adobes flash is good you dont have to have mplayer anymore
[03:55] <mrunagi> now i cant get into it
[03:56] <shan123> alot of them by default do not enable wireless on hard reboot
[03:56] <shan123> can you ethernet cable access it?
[03:56] <mrunagi> never could
[03:56] <mrunagi> wireless is working after hard reset
[03:56] <shan123> very odd
[03:56] <mrunagi> i can get to the auth screen for the router but it wont let me in
[03:56] <spyda9> ramon: they should have a .deb package to download.  If not just download the .tar and use the command tar -zxvf to extract it
[03:57] <ramon> ok...i'm on adobe's website
[03:57] <mrunagi> !silverlight
[03:58] <shan123> i dont think i can help beyond what we have tried sorry
[03:58] <ghw> 有说汉语的吗？
[03:58] <ghw> Chinese
[03:58] <shan123> wait
[03:58] <spyda9> i read
[03:59] <shan123> if you hard reset there is no key
[03:59] <shan123> not in dlinks
[03:59] <mrunagi> i know thats why im online now
[03:59] <mrunagi> so i want to test if hex will work but i cant set the key if it wont let me in the router
[04:00] <shan123> sorry now i understand your delama
[04:00] <shan123> have you tried the default router password?
[04:00] <mrunagi> default is blank
[04:00] <shan123> sorry just covering the basics
[04:00] <mrunagi> konq jusst says network unavailable
[04:00] <mrunagi> obviously thats false
[04:01] <shan123> do you have firefox to try?'
[04:03] <mrunagi> doing that now
[04:03] <mrunagi> we are pretty smart =)
[04:03] <ghw> what?
[04:03] <austin> how can I use the default application to open a file from the console?
[04:04] <shan123> austion give us context
[04:04] <austin> is there command that would open an html file with firefox
[04:04] <mrunagi> firefox lets me in
[04:04] <austin> a test editor with kate
[04:04] <austin> etc
[04:05] <austin> *text file with kate
[04:05] <shan123> sweet mrun
[04:05] <shan123> beats me sorry austion never tried
[04:05] <shan123> austin*
[04:07] <austin> seems as though it would be very common?
[04:07] <mrunagi> bah it wont let me see the hex value
[04:08] <shawn_> these netbooks are pretty awesome, but i wouldnt use it as a workstation like some of my coworkers are trying to do.
[04:08] <shan123> i used a hexkeygenerator and copy and pasted it
[04:08] <shan123> to router then to netman
[04:08] <shan123> and also ported it to a text file
[04:10] <shan123> wow is calling bbl
[04:14] <superboy> i h8te dragon player any other good movie players yo
[04:15] <embraceunity> kaffeine
[04:15] <Dragnslcr> Anyone else have Firefox lock up after leaving a page (or closing the tab) with a Flash movie in it?
[04:15] <superboy> how do i uninstall dragon player
[04:16] <embraceunity> Dragnslcr: yes
[04:16] <Dragnslcr> Good to know that it isn't just me
[04:16] <embraceunity> superboty: sudo apt-get remover dragonplayer
[04:16] <embraceunity> superboty: sudo apt-get remove dragonplayer
[04:17] <embraceunity> i really can't spell today
[04:19] <mkasson> is there an easy gui scp client?
[04:20] <kyle_> Error launching OpenSuse in virtual box.. says it requires a 64 bit computer and i have a AMD Athlon x2 64
[04:20] <agoole> is there a good webcam viewer that anyone can recommend ? I can't tell wether its my camera or me :S
[04:22] <tsimpson> mkasson: konqueror
[04:22] <mkasson> tsimpson, do I need a plugin?
[04:22] <mkasson> tried fish://
[04:22] <tsimpson> mkasson: try sftp://
[04:23] <mkasson> tsimpson, et voila! Thanks..  so then what's fish:?
[04:24] <tsimpson> mkasson: fish:// is a kind of hack, it uses a ssh shell and emulates scp. it's really only needed if the server doesn't support scp
[04:25] <tsimpson> technically fish:// should always work, but it's not well maintained any more
[04:25] <mkasson> ah k.  working now, so I'm hooked up
[04:25] <Weedy> kubuntu doesn't have synaptic right?
[04:26] <Dragnslcr> You can install it if you really want to
[04:26] <Weedy> what GUI does it use then?
[04:26] <Dragnslcr> The default in 9.04 is KPackageKit (8.10 and earlier is Adept)
[04:26] <ramon> hey i can't install flash player from website
[04:26] <Weedy> thanks
[04:26] <ramon> even .deb pack
[04:27] <ramon> and continue w/ the problem

[04:36] <mandingoceo> is any1 home
[04:38] <fungos> my father upgraded his ubuntu last night and the wireless stopped working. It is a sis191 (module sis190) but dmesg shows "wlan0: link is not ready" and nothing more. It worked before upgrade.
[04:42] <mandingoceo> looking for a pointer to point me in the right direction
[04:43] <neto> omg

[04:45] <BluesKaj_> !ghost
[04:45] <fungos> please someone, my father upgraded his ubuntu last night and the wireless stopped working. It is a sis191 (module sis190) but dmesg shows "wlan0: link is not ready" and nothing more. It worked before upgrade.
[04:50] <BluesKaj> fungos: open widgets and find Network Management or Manager and click on it , then righ tclick on the icon to open manage connections
[04:52] <fungos> BluesKaj: I'm there. My connection is set up 802.11 WPA personal .. everything right
[04:53] <BluesKaj> yes , fungos , that's what i use

[04:55] <austin> is there a way to make Konsole interate options when I press tab?
[04:55] <austin> if there are multiple posibilities it doesn't seem to iterate threw them
[04:55] <xjjk> austin: iterate options?
[04:55] <xjjk> through a program you're trying to run?
[04:55] <austin> auto completion
[04:56] <xjjk> austin: I assume you're using bash... look at the bash-completion package
[04:56] <xjjk> and enable it in /etc/bashrc
[04:56] <xjjk> it adds completion for options for many popular programs
[04:57] <austin> that is what is used for directories and such?
[04:58] <draik> Hello everyone. I'm using irssi. How do I go back and forth with tabs/windows?
[04:59]  * draik loves the computer which was gifted to him. This is a great server build. :)
[05:00] <rgarcia> hi all, does anybody know how do i change my video card device?
[05:02] <rgarcia> anybody could help me?
[05:02] <draik> Got it. ALT+# :)
[05:03] <draik> rgarcia: I don't know if it works anymore, but you can try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:03] <draik> rgarcia: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[05:06] <spinfusor> Hubye frebenz... I'm going thru the FAQ's, quick question... did KPackageKit replace the Synaptic in 9.04?
[05:07] <draik> spinfusor: Thanks for the reminder. What is KPackageKit?
[05:07] <rgarcia> thanx.....but draik see if you can help me...
[05:07] <rgarcia> i have no sound in firefox, for example in youtube, bu i do in amarok...vlc
[05:08] <spinfusor> well, I cant find the Synaptic the FAQ refers to, the KPackageKit appears to be where you install, upgrade etc.
[05:08] <rgarcia> !tr4
[05:09] <spinfusor> I can install it but if it is to replace, no need to
[05:09] <draik> rgarcia: Check your kMix and assure all levels are up and not muted. If necessary, mute and then un-mute the audio.
[05:10] <rgarcia> yes...but only on youtube...i cant hear nothing....amarok works perfectly
[05:13] <spinfusor> Ooops. forgot to mention, Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope is what I'm using on an eeePC 1000He; Very impressed BT & Wireless works right outta box, OpenSuse, got tired of trying to make it work w/ no results.
[05:14] <spinfusor> Anyone know of a good Howto hack Kubuntu; similar to Hacking OpenSuse?
[05:15] <draik> spinfusor: I have the Acer Apsire One myself. Wireless sees the connections, but won't connect. I don't have BT support on it either, but that doesn't matter to me much as I don't have anything with which to pair.
[05:15] <draik> I'll be back in a bit. I have somthing to do right now.
[05:23] <austin> when I open a file in dolphin..it uses the default application
[05:23] <austin> is there a similar way to open a file with the default application from a console?
[05:26] <xjjk> austin: yes....
[05:26] <xjjk> austin: run kfmclient exec whatever.pdf
[05:27] <xjjk> austin: I use this as a script, http://paste.ubuntu.com/168400/
[05:27] <xjjk> I call it kde-exec, and run kde-exec file.pdf whenever I need to open or run something
[05:30] <austin> im new to linux, where is the best place to save this script and make it so I can run it from anywhere?
[05:33] <brk> plink
[05:33] <xjjk> austin: I personally have my own ~/bin directory for scripts
[05:33] <xjjk> austin: but you can place it into /usr/local/bin
[05:37] <alandd> I have a problem when ejecting USB devices on Kubuntu 9.04 KDE. I click eject in the USB device notifier, the device ejects, the notifier and the entire panel freezes. Must logout and back in to unfreeze it.
[05:39] <alandd> Let me add that I have used a Personal Package Archive (PPA) provided by someone in this channel to make Amarok 1.4 work correctly with my iPod.  I fear this mix may be causing problems that would not exist in a standard Kubuntu installation.
[05:39] <alandd> Anyone have some ideas on how to debug what is happening?
[05:39]  * alandd goes to dive into the logs...
[05:40] <austin> is there a way to give an application sudo access after I have started it?
[05:40] <austin> like...I have kate open and want to save to /usr/bin
[05:41] <xjjk> austin: no, not realyl
[05:42] <austin> so I have to restart kate with sudo access to save to /bin ?
[05:42] <brk> dell mini9 default 8.04 install..  trying to understand why fdisk reports a 16gb partition on a SD card,newly done, but df shows 45% used
[05:46] <austin> what do you save the script file as?
[05:46] <xjjk> austin: yes
[05:47] <xjjk> austin: whatever you want to name it.. I call mine "kde-exec"
[05:47] <austin> when I tried kde-exec, it said access denied
[05:47] <xjjk> you need to make the script executable
[05:47] <austin> how do I do that? :X
[05:47] <xjjk> on the commandline, run sudo +x kde-exec
[05:48] <austin> +x command not found
[05:49] <xjjk> austin: er, sorry
[05:49] <xjjk> sudo chmod +x kde-exec
[05:49] <austin> k, worked, thanks
[05:51] <austin> ls
[05:51] <austin> oops heh
[06:07] <brk> is there a best way to set up an SD card with fat32 so file exchange w/windows is easy? fdisk says it's a done deal, bu5t df shows 45% used and windows is not seeing anything.
[06:08] <brk> ... and just forget anything real if windowsw formats the card.. df is happy, but the media won't mount proerly
[06:33] <workspace1> :^)
[07:02] <josh_> my system tray icons appear in the middle of my lower panel
[07:02] <nalioth> can anyone shed some light on this?  http://pastebin.ca/1418048     TIA
[07:02] <sandhya> Hi, is there any way I can get the default kwallet to open automatically when I log in?
[07:02] <josh_> how do i make them appear them on the right side?
[07:03] <nalioth> clean install of jaunty on the box
[07:03] <josh_> for who?
[07:03] <ForgeAus> sandhya I'm fairly sure theres a startup for KDE...
[07:05] <sandhya> ForgeAus: a startup? like an autostart?
[07:06] <austin> is there any way to get konsole to show the prompt and input text a different color than the printed text?
[07:08] <jussi01> nalioth: ouch.
[07:08] <kwgod> the sound for my comp doesnt work anymore... how do i change to the previous one i had?
[07:08] <nalioth> jussi01: have you seen anything like thae
[07:09] <nalioth> t before?
[07:09] <kwgod> ne1?
[07:09] <nalioth> [sorry, i'm on a weird terminsal, as konsole (obviously) won't start]
[07:09] <nalioth> kwgod: patience
[07:10] <nalioth> this isn't a magic answer channel.  if someone knows, they'll answer, if not, don't bug the channel with useless input (ne1?)
[07:10] <kwgod> mkay
[07:10] <ForgeAus> sandhya yeah
[07:11] <jussi01> nalioth: Ive not, but seems google has seen it several times - weird though
[07:11] <kwgod> iknow its not, but i´ve talked to numerous people and no ones been able to help me fix it yet
[07:11] <kwgod> so id rather go back to the old one
[07:12] <ForgeAus> check your /home/(username)/.kde for an Autorun
[07:13] <ForgeAus> (note depending on your setup this COULD but isnt all that likely to be a .kde3 or a .kde4)
[07:15] <ForgeAus> (or Autostart)
[07:15] <jussi01> nalioth: although nightrose did have an issue where kde apps wouldnt start on an upgraded box, but quite likely unrelated.
[07:17] <nalioth> jussi01: yes, i've seen it on google, too, but no answers  :(
[07:18] <nalioth> and i find it amazing that this is a newly installed box and kde major kde apps are borkend
[07:19] <jussi01> nalioth: me also - seems very weird. I assume you did all the normal md5 checks etc
[07:20] <nalioth> jussi01: huh? apt-get installed all of kubuntu-desktop
[07:20] <jussi01> nalioth: ahh, so its not a clean install of kubuntu... gotcha
[07:22] <nalioth> huh? it's a clean install of jaunty with xubuntu-, kubuntu-, ubuntu-desktops, jussi01
[07:23] <nalioth> jussi01: i'm not sure how much cleaner i could have installed it
[07:24] <jussi01> nalioth: I was expecting it was an install from a kubuntu disk, hence my question.... ;)
[07:24] <mandingo> how do i pull a sound update using git im noob and very confused
[07:24] <podecoet> Wheres the control panel in kde4? kcontrol no longer works
[07:24] <jussi01> podecoet: system settings
[07:25] <podecoet> jussi01: doh, didnt see it :\
[07:25] <jussi01> :D
[07:25] <nalioth> jussi01: it's not a big deal, i can always xforward a konsole from another box
[07:25] <nalioth> it just seems whacked that major apps are miscompiled like that
[07:25] <jussi01> nalioth: tis a big deal - if theres a bug we need to fix it... ;)
[07:27] <mandingo> how do i pull a sound update using git im noob and very confused
[07:27] <mandingo> anyhelp would be appreciated
[07:28] <Hystoriker> can anybody please help me with getting rid of some installed packages. I cannot remove two packages which were not installed correctly during a previous installation process.
[07:30] <jussi01> Hystoriker: try: sudo apt-get install -f
[07:30] <ForgeAus> so next to the karmic koala uh?....
[07:30] <ForgeAus> any idea whats the codename for L? (10.04?)
[07:31] <Hystoriker> jussi01: that doesnt work, it says that there are no dir files specified and thus a post-installation script returns the error code 1
[07:37] <mandingo> can any1 help me on how to do a git to pull sound patch please

[07:59] <superboy> thanks
[08:15] <tangent3> i should probably upgrade dragon player to something better right? any guides around for doing that?
[08:16] <cybeh> Aloha All
[08:17] <cybeh> Am facing a proble with kaffiene, I have upgraded to Jaunty from Hardy and my Xorg crashed when i try to play subtitles with kaffiene
[08:18] <cybeh> normal video plays fine, bt when I load subtiles Xorg restarts
[08:18] <cybeh> is it a know bug or something?
[08:21] <jussi01> tangent3: just install what you want to use - I personally like vlc
[08:21] <cybeh> jussi01: any idea about my prob?
[08:21] <tangent3> anything similar to media player classic?
[08:21] <jussi01> no.
[08:22] <cybeh> okie
[08:22] <jussi01> tangent3: no idea :P - though some people lve mplayer
[08:22] <cybeh> wcan anybody help me with this
[08:22] <tangent3> dragon seems nice and simple, but i can't seem to control deblocking settings
[08:22] <jussi01> tangent3: I have both kmplayer and vlc, which both work well for me
[08:23] <tangent3> ok i'll try them, thanks
[08:23] <tangent3> anything special i need to do for realmedia and quicktime support?
[08:23] <cybeh> tangent3: you can try Kaffiene as well
[08:23] <cybeh> its a great player
[08:29] <austin> cant seem to get audio working
[08:30] <austin> in setting>multimedia when I click "test" it works
[08:30] <austin> (keeping in mind I have multiple sound cards)
[08:30] <austin> but in other applications I get nothing
[08:32] <austin> suggestions?
[08:41] <Newbee_> hello
[08:43] <Newbee_> my system (kubuntu 9.04) feezes everytime I try to watch a DVD and nearly always when I try to resize a vlc window during video playback. The weeks before the system even froze randomly on nothing but desktop work
[08:43] <Newbee_> this is really annoying. does anybody know what I can do about it?
[08:45] <fornix> Newbee: what do you mean by system freeze? are you able to do a Ctrl + Alt + F1 ?
[08:46] <podecoet> Is there a way to downgrade from kde4 to kde3.5 under intrepid? It's really pissing me off!
[08:47] <podecoet> apparently twinview / dualview isn't supported properly yet
[08:47] <podecoet> cant change any setttings on the second monitor desktop (wallpaper etc), can drag windows but not icons over to second screen
[08:48] <embraceunity_> podecoet: sudo apt-get remove kde*
[08:49] <embraceunity_> then make sure you have the repo for the kde3 stuff
[08:49] <embraceunity_> or whatever... i think intrepid is by default kde3... so remove the kde4 repo... then sudo apt-get update
[08:49] <embraceunity_> then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:49] <embraceunity_> after you have removed all kde packaged
[08:49] <embraceunity_> packages
[08:50] <subcool> hey anyone with Fios?
[08:50] <podecoet> embraceunity_: doh, I've used up over 3gb of downstream today, I don't think I'd be able to get yet more updates :\
[08:50] <subcool> wow- people
[08:50] <subcool> awesome..
[08:50] <subcool> Serious- bad question that is pissing me off
[08:50] <embraceunity_> do you have the CD?
[08:51] <embraceunity_> podecoet: the CD should do the trick
[08:51] <podecoet> embraceunity_: I have the intrepid install CD, but that's kde4?
[08:51] <embraceunity_> oh... you got the remix
[08:51] <podecoet> embraceunity_: doh!
[08:52] <podecoet> i'll just go to a net cafe and get the kde3.5 version then
[08:52] <embraceunity_> kde4 isn't so bad... after 4.2
[08:52] <subcool> I have FIOS and i am trying to uplink my linksys to it. I found a guide that turns the FIOS router to a bridge- but.. idk how im screwing  it up
[08:53] <podecoet> embraceunity_: I hated it at first, but after learning how to adjust settings, its actually quite pleasant... But I cant live without proper twinview suppport
[08:53] <podecoet> wait, how do I find out the version of KDE installed?
[08:53] <embraceunity_> one sec
[08:54] <podecoet> subcool: lucky bastard :P
[08:55] <embraceunity_> podecoet: try this
[08:55] <embraceunity_> kde4-config --version | grep 'KDE' | sed -e 's/.*E //' | sed -e 's/)//'
[08:55] <eagles0513875> i have a huge problem i cannot see any folders in my home folder
[08:56] <embraceunity_> are you logged on as root?
[08:56] <embraceunity_> eagles?
[08:56] <eagles0513875> no
[08:57] <eagles0513875> logged in as i normally do as me
[08:57] <podecoet> ebraceunity: 4.1.4, would it be worth trying to hack an upgrade to 4.2?
[08:57] <eagles0513875> not to mention there is no root account
[08:57] <eagles0513875> podecoet: you dont need to try 4.2.3 which is in a ppa the link is on kubuntu.org page
[08:58] <embraceunity_> podecoet: lol... yea just reverse engineer it all
[08:58] <eagles0513875> lol thats not fun
[08:58] <eagles0513875> embraceunity_: any idea as to why i cannot see anything in my home folder
[08:59] <Newbee_> Isn't the problem of constantly freezing systems known here? Do I have the "luck" of owning a special hardware configuration or software combination?
[08:59] <embraceunity_> eagles: what happens in console when you type "ls"
[08:59] <embraceunity_> in the home directory
[08:59]  * podecoet hits head
[08:59] <podecoet> ok, I'll download 9.04 w/kde4 and 8.10 w/kde3
[08:59] <podecoet> another night of mass installs / reinstalls :P
[09:00] <sveri> hi, how long is gutsy supported?
[09:00] <embraceunity_> i just downloaded karmic, but i did the 64 bit and cannot virtualize in my 32 bit environment... oh and i fried my cd burner through a botched firmware install
[09:00] <embraceunity_> lol
[09:00] <embraceunity_> so im just like screw it
[09:01] <podecoet> embraceunity_: you can probably still recover from the dodgy firmware, but its like $20 for another drive :P
[09:01] <embraceunity_> i could do unetbootin, but i dont care enough
[09:01] <eagles0513875> embraceunity_: unetbootin bootable usb
[09:01] <eagles0513875> embraceunity_: any idea as to my issue
[09:02] <embraceunity_> eagles: what does it say in console when you type "ls"
[09:02] <eagles0513875> gonna take a sec hold on
[09:04] <austin> hmm I restarted my machine, now everything is 'ugly'
[09:04] <eagles0513875> running too much
[09:04] <austin> running old gui
[09:04] <embraceunity_> austin: is it all grey
[09:04] <eagles0513875> no running boinc projects shoutcast server lol
[09:04] <eagles0513875> updating WoW
[09:04] <eagles0513875> lol
[09:04] <eagles0513875> embraceunity_: ill give you ls results in a min
[09:05] <austin> its not running KDE?
[09:05] <subcool> brb - testing a setup
[09:05] <embraceunity_> austin: it could be amiwm... its a fallback environment
[09:05] <austin> it said something failed to load or something and asked if I wanted to delete it
[09:05] <eagles0513875> and also run top in command line see if plasma is running
[09:06] <austin> this environment is running so much faster, almost kinda nice lol
[09:06] <embraceunity_> austin: i didn't mind amiwm... made me realize how little the desktop environment actually matters
[09:07] <austin> what am I looking for in top?
[09:07] <eagles0513875> plasma if its running
[09:08] <eagles0513875> think a reboot is in order here
[09:08] <austin> well I did, same thing
[09:09] <eagles0513875> im not seeing anything in my home folder is my problem austin
[09:09] <embraceunity_> austin: when i was stuck with amiwim, the reason was KDE's packages were only half installed during the jaunty alpha period, and  and thus everything was broken
[09:09] <austin> it says something about one of your modules has an error or something, and if I want to delete it
[09:09] <austin> I said no
[09:09] <eagles0513875> brb guys
[09:09] <austin> let me restart again and err, press delete
[09:09] <sveri> is gutsy still supported?
[09:12] <austin> the error is
[09:12] <austin> The panel encountered a problem while loading
[09:12] <austin> "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet"
[09:12] <austin> Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
[09:15] <eagles0513875> strange
[09:15] <eagles0513875> a reboot fixed my issue
[09:19] <austin> so yeah, I have no idea why it is like this :|
[09:20] <austin> how do I change it back? lol
[09:21] <eagles0513875> is plasma running for you or even installed
[09:21] <austin> no, I dont think it is running
[09:21] <austin> I assume it is installed...as it was running 5 minutes ago
[09:22] <austin> I just ran "plasma"
[09:23] <austin> now its like the 2 guis are running on top of each other
[09:24] <austin> hmm going to restart again
[09:25] <podecoet> is there any real reason to stick to 8.10 as opposed to 8.04
[09:26] <austin> didnt fix anything
[09:26] <eagles0513875> podecoet: probably only difference is kde version as well as 04 has lts
[09:26] <eagles0513875> austin: can you run sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to install any updated packages
[09:27] <austin> no updates
[09:28] <eagles0513875> do you have any other desktops like gnome or xfce installed
[09:28]  * podecoet burns the 8.04 ISO
[09:28] <eagles0513875> podecoet: you coulda created a bootable usb
[09:28] <austin> I think this might BE gnome?
[09:28] <eagles0513875> austin: no worries
[09:28] <austin> I dont know, I didnt intend to
[09:29] <eagles0513875> run this sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[09:29] <eagles0513875> it will ask you what desktop manager you want to use and choose kdm
[09:29] <austin> did didnt do/ask me anything
[09:29] <austin> not even for my sudo password
[09:30] <podecoet> [18:29] <austin> did didnt do/ask me anything <= *dies*
[09:30] <eagles0513875> can  you drop down to init 1 and choose the fsck option and let it check your disk
[09:31] <austin> sorry, was that directed at me?
[09:32] <eagles0513875> ya austin
[09:32] <austin> I dont know what that means
[09:32] <eagles0513875> sudo init 1 then a screen pops up choose the fsck option
[09:33] <eagles0513875> fsck = like windows check disk
[09:33] <Cugel> Hello.
[09:33] <tsimpson> "init 1" is single user mode
[09:33] <eagles0513875> tsimpson: yes it pops up a dialoge box now giving you a few options
[09:33] <eagles0513875> fsck to fix x fix package issues
[09:33] <tsimpson> it's better to do it form a LiveCD though
[09:33] <podecoet> Cugel: hello
[09:33] <Cugel> I have a problem (after upgrading to Jaunty) with the KDE desktop position. I can use the complete screen fine (e.g. move a window to the top left) but the plasmoid surface is complete offside. I have an image of it.
[09:33] <Cugel> http://imagebin.ca/view/nT_IwvKn.html
[09:34] <eagles0513875> tsimpson: i havent had an issues running it from init 1
[09:34] <tsimpson> you can't fix all errors from a mounted FS
[09:34] <eagles0513875> tsimpson: it kills desktop and network and everything
[09:34] <tsimpson> eagles0513875: yes, I know. but the root is till mounted
[09:34] <Cugel> I tried renaming/deleting a few config files but it didn't seem to help yet.
[09:35] <tsimpson> s/till/still/
[09:35] <austin> I did that
[09:35] <eagles0513875> did it do anything
[09:35] <austin> it ran for a minute, then said something about are you sure you want to run this on a blah blah file system, it could cause damage
[09:35] <austin> I said no
[09:35] <eagles0513875> ok  scratch that
[09:36] <eagles0513875> humm
[09:36] <austin> my resolution is broken now
[09:36] <eagles0513875> austin: sudo dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg
[09:37] <eagles0513875> austin: that should fix your resolution problem but im not sure about your other issue :(
[09:37] <podecoet> argh I need to find an internet cafe O($&)(&$@
[09:37] <eagles0513875> lol podecoet
[09:38] <podecoet> eagles0513875: you don't understand lol, I've tried Kubuntu 8.10, 9.04 and OpenSuse 11
[09:38] <podecoet> I dont know what posessed me to upgrade from 8.04, which worked fine :P
[09:39] <eagles0513875> whats the problem you have with kubuntu
[09:40] <podecoet> it's being itself. I installed 8.10, then it asked me to enable restricted drivers, I did. It crashed X, I spent a whole night and finally made it work by adding "BusID 03:00:0" to xorg - so that worked
[09:40] <podecoet> then I enabled twinview as I did with my normal setup
[09:40] <eagles0513875> and same issue with 9.04
[09:41] <podecoet> and I get a blank screen on my second monitor, which is fine, because I can drag windows onto it... But I cant change the wallpaper, and its glitchy
[09:41] <eagles0513875> what video card do you have
[09:41] <podecoet> 2 x 8800GTS's in SLI (worked perfect under Hardy)
[09:42] <eagles0513875> ok what nvidia driver are you using version 180
[09:42] <podecoet> yep, 180 through nvidia's site
[09:42] <podecoet> (I need nvidia-settings)
[09:42] <austin> yeah, now there i no gui lol
[09:42] <eagles0513875> :(
[09:42] <eagles0513875> austin: :(
[09:43] <austin> how do I restart from terminal? :P
[09:43] <Cugel> sudo reboot
[09:44] <podecoet> check it out, it's almost trippy: http://www.podecoet.org/glitchy.png
[09:44] <eagles0513875> austin: sudo init 6
[09:45] <OxDeadC0de> podecoet: The requested URL /glitchy.png was not found on this server.
[09:45] <austin> when I start it says something about low graphics mode
[09:45] <eagles0513875> austin: do you have your video drivers installed
[09:46] <austin> nvidia drivers were installed
[09:46] <podecoet> doh, try again: http://www.podecoet.org/glitchy.png
[09:47] <OxDeadC0de> wow, very trippy
[09:47] <podecoet> OxDeadC0de: yeah, unfortunately it's not helpful at all lol
[09:49] <podecoet> dammit the dark side is playing with my head now. "Install windows XP... you know you want to, you're out of download allowance anyway - and look, you have a copy right there!"
[09:50] <EnginA> something wrong with the repositories ?
[09:50] <EnginA> apt-get update gives all 404 s
[09:50] <eagles0513875> EnginA: check your connection
[09:50] <EnginA> I've tried a few mirros including us. es.
[09:51] <EnginA> it is a 404 what is there to check ?
[09:51] <eagles0513875> your  not connected to the net
[09:51] <EnginA> do you know what is a http 404 error ?
[09:51] <austin> what does sudo init 6 do anyways?
[09:52] <eagles0513875> chalcedony: ping
[09:52] <jussi01> austin: "sudo init 6" or "sudo telinit 6" more properly, will switch to runlevel 6 (reboo
[09:52] <chalcedony> --'--,-{@ --'--,-{@eagles0513875@}-'--,--@}--'--
[09:53] <austin> yeah I have no idea what to do now
[09:53] <austin> from the console, how do I start the xserver or whatever its called?
[09:55] <austin> im pretty sure whatever I did to the xserver broke it lol
[09:55] <austin> what was that command again?
[10:00] <austin> well I got xserver working again it seem
[10:00] <austin> but its still gnome
[10:02] <eagles0513875> austin:
[10:02] <eagles0513875> did you manage to get x started
[10:02] <austin> yeah
[10:03] <eagles0513875> any better
[10:03] <austin> its running gnome, not kde
[10:05] <eagles0513875> ahhh so you got rid of kde
[10:05] <austin> I did? lol
[10:05] <austin> I dont think so
[10:05] <eagles0513875> ahhhh ok
[10:05] <austin> how do I kill gnome then start kde?
[10:05] <eagles0513875> logout
[10:06] <eagles0513875> it should take you back to command line
[10:06] <eagles0513875> then to start x and go to the login screen just type startx in command line
[10:06] <austin> it takes me to a graphical login screen
[10:06] <eagles0513875> at the bottom session choose kde
[10:07] <austin> :) yeah, that worked lol
[10:07] <eagles0513875> kde working now
[10:07] <austin> I wish I knew wtf made gnome start
[10:07] <austin> yes
[10:07] <eagles0513875> austin: it saves the last session you wer logged into as the default for the next login
[10:07] <eagles0513875> but is everythign in kde displayed right
[10:07] <austin> I have never logged into gnome, I didnt even know it was installed
[10:08] <austin> yes, kde looks as expected
[10:08] <eagles0513875> austin: did you install kubuntu or ubuntu
[10:08] <eagles0513875> :)
[10:08] <austin> kubuntu
[10:08] <eagles0513875> you sure you didnt install gnome afterwards
[10:08] <austin> not intentionally
[10:08] <Guest82598> hi my wireless adapter keeps failing on me
[10:08] <austin> not that I was aware of..but apparently
[10:09] <eagles0513875> Guest66251: what do you mean
[10:09] <austin__> thanks tho... everything seems to be normal
[10:10] <eagles0513875> Guest66251: is it randomly disconnecting you from your wifi
[10:10] <eagles0513875> austin: no problem
[10:10] <Guest82598> after about 10 mins of having internet connection my internet fails and i have to reboot or sometimes leave my comp off for 1/2 hr
[10:10] <eagles0513875> guessing this is a laptop right
[10:10] <Guest82598> yep
[10:11] <eagles0513875> ok can you do dmesg for me and pastbin it to me plz
[10:11] <Guest82598> sorry i am a newb, i don't know how
[10:12] <eagles0513875> ahh ok
[10:12] <eagles0513875> do you have a konsole opened
[10:12] <Guest82598> ok
[10:12] <Guest82598> yes
[10:13] <Guest24382> hmm now to figure out why sound is not working (kinda is)
[10:14] <AustLaw> sound works when I login (the login sound) and when I go to multimedia and test
[10:14] <adam> m
[10:14] <AustLaw> but it doesn't seem to work in applications
[10:14] <adam> ok konsole is up
[10:16] <Guest92230> eagles, konsole is up
[10:16] <austin> actually the opengl is no longer working
[10:18] <eagles0513875> Guest82598: type in konsole dmesg please
[10:18] <eagles0513875> then paste it here
[10:18] <eagles0513875> !paste | Guest82598
[10:22] <NetersLandreau> i upgraded to kubuntu 9.04 yesterday on my laptop and now i cannot get my xorg to display a login screen.. has anyone had similar problems?
[10:23] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: what is your graphic card?
[10:23] <NetersLandreau> moment Mamarok.. i'll find out
[10:27] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML
[10:30] <emil_> hi
[10:31] <eagles0513875> !hi | emil_
[10:31] <emil_> someone could tell me how to change kde3 apps theme to QT Curve (but with my configuration) in kubuntu 9.04???
[10:35] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: hm, Intel then= I can't make anything out of these numbers without googling, could you give the relevant line of the lspci output?
[10:35] <Mamarok> emil_: SystemSettings -> appearance
[10:41] <eagles0513875> Mamarok: can i ask a question re intel
[10:42] <Mamarok> eagles0513875: re intel?
[10:42] <eagles0513875> regarding intel graphics
[10:42] <AustLaw> how do I change the sound output device for programs?
[10:43] <Mamarok> !ask | eagles0513875
[10:43] <NetersLandreau> moment Mamarok.. i tried an alternate config and have to reboot again.. what command should i run? lspci?
[10:43] <eagles0513875> Mamarok: was reading in release notes about intel graphics regressions does that effect all or certain models
[10:43] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: not needed anymore, I found it in Google now :)
[10:44] <Mamarok> eagles0513875: checked the bug in launchpad?
[10:44] <eagles0513875> i shall do that
[10:45] <eagles0513875> Guest92230: take a look at the last line from what you pasted me [  107.700000] wlan0: duplicate address detected!
[10:45] <eagles0513875> seems like there is an ip address conflict on your network that is probably why its dropping your connection
[10:45] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: ok, thx
[10:47] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: there are known bugs with some Intel graphic cards, likely a driver issue, might be related to your problem
[10:48] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: my laptop is my major workhorse.. how can i go back to kubuntu 8.10?
[10:48] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: do you have a separate /home partition?
[10:49] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: then you can easily reinstall
[10:49] <NetersLandreau> no Mamarok.. it is standard partitioning
[10:49] <Mamarok> else you will have to backup your data first
[10:50] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: and if you do reinstall, make sure to make a separate partition for /home, so a reinstall will be no big hassle anymore in the future
[10:51]  * Mamarok thinks that this should be the default behavior on installation anyway
[10:51] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: you are talking about my personal data, i.e. stuff that is important?
[10:51] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: exactly
[10:52] <Mamarok> you have all your personal data in the /home folder, so that is the part to backup
[10:52] <NetersLandreau> i already have those files on an external drive
[10:52] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: well, then you can reinstall 8.10 quite easily
[10:53] <Mamarok> and stay tuned for changes in the Intel driver problem, so you know when it will be solved
[10:54] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: subscribe to this bug:
[10:54] <Mamarok> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/359392/
[10:54] <Mamarok> then you get notified if there are changes
[10:56] <NetersLandreau> thx Mamarok.. i will keep an eye on that bug.. what do i do to reinstall kubuntu 8.10?
[11:02] <NetersLandreau> actually Mamarok, reading that bug report does not describe my problem.. my problem is with the display itself.. when xorg starts, it gives me a screen that is basically unreadable and the settings are obviously off
[11:05] <Guest92230> hi eagles
[11:05] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: did you try move your current .kde/ to .kde_old/ for example? Don't forget to do this in a konsole and don't forget the dot in front
[11:05] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: it could be that your current settings are not compatible with 9.04
[11:06] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: which KDE did you use before ugrading?
[11:07] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: 8.10
[11:07] <Guest92230> eagles0513875: what did u find from my pastebin
[11:08] <NetersLandreau> i believe it is something with changes to xorg.. i have copied my log file to my windows partition and will get that into a bin
[11:09] <Guest92230> http://pastebin.com/m761370b8
[11:10] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: well, yes, 8.10, but did you use the default KDE 4.1 or did you use KDE 4.2 from the experimental repos?
[11:10] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: then moving your default .kde/ and restarting X might do the trick
[11:11] <Guest92230> can anyone help me my wireless internet laptop adapter keeps shutting down after about 10 mins of moderate usage
[11:14] <Guest92230> can anyone help me my wireless internet laptop adapter keeps shutting down after about 10 mins of moderate usage whereas when i was using windows it usuallly lasted about 2-3hrs of maximum usage
[11:15] <ikonia> Guest92230: but it also shuts down in windows ?
[11:15] <Guest92230> sometimes but very rarely
[11:15] <Guest92230> in linux it is very often
[11:16] <ikonia> Guest92230: doesn't sound good for your wirless setup in general if your card is dropping conections on both OSs
[11:16] <Guest92230> i think i may be down to overheating
[11:17] <ikonia> Guest92230: interesting suggestion,
[11:17] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: here is my Xorg.0.log - http://bin.cakephp.org/view/2041535574
[11:19] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: according to lines 248 and 249 it is actually a driver problem
[11:19] <ikonia> !es > Mamarok
[11:19] <ikonia> Mamarok: sorry
[11:19] <ikonia> Mamarok: typo
[11:20] <Mamarok> ikonia: never mind :)
[11:20] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: it expects a newer driver
[11:21] <NetersLandreau> oh yes, good eye Mamarok.. and it gives me an idea
[11:23] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: easy to spot, search for the (EE) entries
[11:23] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: maybe you can find a workaround in the bug I told you, somebody with your graphic card used a workaround
[11:24] <Mamarok> seems to work for him with EXA uinstead of UXA: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/359392/comments/38
[11:25] <NetersLandreau> yes.. i will reread that bug report
[11:26] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: beware though, he has font rendering issues, so it's just a stale workaround
[11:30] <eagles0513875> Guest92230: seems like your getting a duplicate ip that already exists on your network
[11:34] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: how do i set my xorg to use EXA instead of UXA?
[11:35] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: I guess in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but never did that
[11:36] <NetersLandreau> yes, neither have i
[11:36] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
[11:37] <Mamarok> these are options to set in the "driver" part of xorg.conf
[11:37] <NetersLandreau> ok.. i'll try that
[11:38] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: that would be a monitor option, correct?
[11:38] <NetersLandreau> oh.. my bad
[11:39] <oz1337> g'day fellow kubuntu users
[11:41] <oz1337> anyone experiencing freeezing after upgrading to 9.04?
[11:42] <Mamarok> oz1337: be more specific about freezs, in what circumstances?
[11:44] <eagles0513875> oz1337: do you have an intel video card
[11:45] <Mamarok> eagles0513875: do you mind?
[11:48] <Mamarok> eagles0513875: a freeze can happen for a lot of things, not necessarily a GC...
[11:50] <ikonia> I've only seen a known poor performance issue with intel cards, I've not seen anything logged about ssytem or display freezes because of intel cards
[11:51] <NetersLandreau> Mamarok: i tried the options in my device as you suggested and now when i run xorg, i get a screen with multi-colored vertical lines
[11:52] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: well, you really have a bug as it seems :(
[11:52] <tino_> hola
[11:53] <adam> i think i have found the reason for my wireless network cut outs
[11:54] <Guest61262> i think that its down to utorrent(wine)
[11:55] <NetersLandreau> yes Mamarok.. i decided to let it go thru a normal boot and when x starts, it starts with a wide blue line about 2/3 from the left of the screen.. the screen refreshes a few times and then it is replaced with a screen showing a wide horiz band of checkerboxes
[11:55] <Mamarok> Guest61262: why do you use utorrent in wine?
[11:55] <Mamarok> Guest61262: there is ktorrent
[11:55] <Guest61262> ok thanks i didn't know
[11:56] <Mamarok> NetersLandreau: I guess you need more xorg.conf tuning then, but I'm not a good help here
[11:56] <Guest61262> found it and it looks good
[11:56] <Mamarok> and it works well :)
[11:57] <Guest61262> and it takes less time to start d'loadin
[11:57] <Guest61262> thx
[11:57] <Mamarok> Guest61262: well, that is normal, you do not have another layer in between :)
[11:58] <Guest61262> i mean even than the utorrent running through windows
[12:24] <Guest44767> anyone he can speak german ?
[12:25] <bazhang> !de
[12:27] <Guest44767> thx bashang and ubottu
[12:38] <millun> hi, anybody got experience with unixodbc?
[12:43] <AustLaw> whats a common ftp server?
[12:43] <jussi01> !ftpd | AustLaw
[13:00] <AustLaw> whats is the best way to simply find a file or folder from the terminal?
[13:01] <slow-motion> hi
[13:01] <NetersLandreau> AustLaw: i use locate
[13:01] <Laeborg> !gfx
[13:01] <NetersLandreau> you can also use find
[13:02] <Laeborg> can any of you recommend a PCI Expess 16x gfx card there works perfect in kubuntu, and still is pretty good ?
[13:02] <Laeborg> !ati
[13:04] <AustLaw> how can I change the autocompletion settings?
[13:05] <AustLaw> specifically, when I press tab multiple times, I dont want it to list the options
[13:05] <AustLaw> I want it to iterate them
[13:07] <Mamarok> AustLaw: in the IRC client you mean?
[13:07] <AustLaw> no, in a terminal
[13:08] <Mamarok> not sure this is possible...
[13:32] <juan> buenas
[13:32] <juan> hi everybody
[13:32] <kaddi> !hi |juan
[13:40] <Guest73540> morning, how do i add the add/remove thing for Kubuntu?
[13:41] <Guest73540> i only see the software management
[13:43] <Guest73540> anyone
[13:44] <Wild_Cat> okay, I'm not sure whether this should go on #ubuntu or #kubuntu, so forgive me if it's the wrong chan: what's the minimal set of packages I need to install to get KDE 4 on regular Ubuntu (9.04)?
[13:44] <Wild_Cat> kubuntu-desktop does the trick, but it pulls way too many extra apps that clutter all my menus with redundant programs
[13:48] <icewind> Guest7354:you can use KPackageKit,
[13:49] <Guest73540> icewind:  last time i had the add/remove and synaptic but i had to format the hd and its not here anymore, and i don't remember how i got both back then
[13:49] <icewind> Wild_Cat:there are a few kde metapackages like kdecore
[13:49] <zzillezz> hello, i just installed kubuntu 9.04 and added the line to the sources to upgrade to kde 2.4.3 , but what do i need to do next ?
[13:49] <Guest73540> icewind:  is there any way to get those back?
[13:50] <icewind> Guest73540: if you really don't have a packagemanger you can use a conlole and type "sudo apt-get install synaptic"
[13:50] <Guest73540> how about the add/remove
[13:52] <icewind> Guest73540:either, adept or  kpackagekit
[13:53] <icewind> zzillezz: using command line: "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade"
[13:53] <zzillezz> ok, i did apt-get dist-upgrade , is that ok too ?
[13:54] <icewind> zzillezz: that only works when there is a new version
[13:54] <icewind> of ubuntu
[13:54] <zzillezz> ok
[13:54] <zzillezz> thinks the system is updating now, we'll see, thanks icewind :-)
[13:54] <tdn> How do I play video files in Kubuntu 9.04? It appears that Kaffeine is not included?!
[13:54] <icewind> zzillezz:no problem
[13:55] <icewind> tdn: you can iinstall kmplayer, smplayer, dragon player or something simulair using a package manager
[13:56] <icewind> tdn: and you have to make sure you have the restriced extra's installed
[13:56] <tdn> icewind, why is no media player included with Kubuntu? What was wrong with Kaffeine? How do I install restricted extras?
[13:57] <icewind> tdn: there sould be a media player default installed but I'm not sure wich one
[13:57] <Wild_Cat> tdn: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:57] <kyle_> whats the package fo Wine and can i play star craft with it?
[13:57] <icewind> kyle_:"wine"
[13:58] <tdn> Why is Kaffeine not used anymore? Does this not work with KDE 4?
[13:58] <kyle_> cis there a game list i can play on wine?
[13:59] <tdn> Is Ktorrent not included in Kubuntu 9.04? How do I download torrents?
[13:59] <ubuntu_> aloja!
[13:59] <icewind> kyle_:http://appdb.winehq.org/
[13:59] <Wild_Cat> kyle_: appdb.winehq.org , and yes, Starcraft works.
[13:59] <ubuntu_> bananero?
[13:59] <Wild_Cat> so do War3 and WoW, for what it's worth.
[14:00] <icewind> tdn" just install ktorrent using package manager, or in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install ktorrent"
[14:00] <tdn> icewind, ok.
[14:00] <icewind> tdn:also, kaffeine still work, I'm not sure if uit uses kde4, but try SMPlayer it's a good media player
[14:02] <tdn> icewind, ok.
[14:02] <tdn> E: Couldn't find package SMPlayer
[14:02] <BluesKaj> G'morning folks
[14:03] <icewind> tdn: "sudo apt-get install smplayer"
[14:03] <tdn> icewind, thanks.
[14:03] <tdn> icewind, I did not think package names were case sensitive.
[14:04] <Jarvellis> Having upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 i seem to have lost adept, will some equivolent have been installed in its stead?
[14:05] <icewind> tdn: in linux almost everything is case sensitive
[14:05] <icewind> Jarvellis:adept is replaced with KPackageKit in 9.04
[14:05] <Jarvellis> icewind: thanks a lot
[14:06] <icewind> Jarvellis: no problem
[14:06] <Jarvellis> icewind: the package list is empty, how do i repopulate it?
[14:08] <tdn> After upgrading to Kubuntu 9.04 in my Thinkpad T61p with an nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M the graphics in X seem very slow compared to 8.04. Should I install a proprietary driver? Is there a GUI tool for this? Or should I just download it from the nvidia.com homepage.
[14:09] <BluesKaj> Jarvellis, you can still install adept using apt-get
[14:09] <zzillezz> tdn: it's in system > hardware drivers
[14:09] <Jarvellis> BluesKaj: I think i'll have to, but surely KPackageKit can be made to work?
[14:10] <AceKing> Does anyone know of a webcam software that has motion detection and records video?
[14:10] <tdn> I am trying to install yakuake, but I get a segfault in zsh(!): zsh: segmentation fault  apt-get install yakuake
[14:10] <AceKing> I tried ZoneMinder, but after install I didn't know how to start it.
[14:10] <icewind> Jarvellis: if you enter a search the packages will show up
[14:11] <Jarvellis> icewind: only it doesn't, i tried that
[14:11] <nejode> Jarvellis: I don't know why, but in my default kubuntu 9.04 install synaptic was installed
[14:11] <tdn> It seems that apt-get segfaults....
[14:11] <tdn> WTF?!
[14:12] <tdn> apt-get dist-upgrade segfaults. How to debug this?
[14:12] <icewind> tdn: try a package manger to isntall it
[14:13] <icewind> Jarvellis: try the filter dropdown menu
[14:13] <tdn> icewind, I think it is a problem that apt-get segfaults, and I would very much like to fix it...
[14:13] <icewind> Jarvellis: ehh, I mean the dropdown menu with all packages on it
[14:14] <Jarvellis> icewind: O.K. That worked :-) Odd that it should given i didn't change the option, but great to know, thanks
[14:14] <afeijo> hello folks
[14:14] <nejode> tdn: try sudo aptitude install yakuake
[14:14] <ahmed> hi i want to install to share files with windows i installed samba , system-config-samba, samba-common then i try to run samba from start-application-system it wouldnt to run ilike to configure smaba with gui
[14:14] <kyle__> do you know if im able to use ripped games with wine?
[14:14] <afeijo> I installed this week a new kubuntu 9.04 from the live cd
[14:14] <phil_seagate> hello everybody
[14:14] <afeijo> dont know how but I also have gnome
[14:14] <afeijo> and it is the default system to new accts
[14:14] <afeijo> how can I change it, or remove gnome?
[14:14] <Jarvellis> Now i just need to find a replacement for kicker :-)
[14:14] <BluesKaj> Jarvellis , the kpackagekit options aren't what I'm used to in adept and synaptic , so I don't bother with it . Adept works just fine.
[14:15] <icewind> kyle_: deppend on the installation method in the rip
[14:15] <tdn> nejode, Segmentation faulty tree... 50%
[14:15] <Jarvellis> BluesKaj: Yeah, but adept seems to have changed drastically also, either way i'll have to learn something new
[14:15] <tdn> nejode, I get that with aptitude install yakuake.
[14:15] <icewind> afeijo: during login, you have a session menu where you can chose a desktop enviroment
[14:16] <afeijo> icewind: yes, I know that.  My parents dont, lol
[14:16] <ahmed> #samba
[14:16] <phil_seagate> does anybody have information about the bogus behaviour of some seagate free agent external hard-drives? the issue apparently occured in 2007 and i wonder whether this is fixed by now!?
[14:16] <afeijo> also, the login screen dont have any button! Enter works, at least
[14:16] <ahmed> join #samba
[14:16] <icewind> afeijo: if you chose one, the next time it would that next time as default
[14:16] <afeijo> icewind: I thought it would be like that, but the next day my girl logged, it loaded gnome!
[14:16] <afeijo> I hope today it wont happen
[14:17] <afeijo> but hth gnome end up here?
[14:17] <flavia_> hi, i got no audio on jaunty, what do I do?
[14:17] <icewind> afeijo: proberbly when installing a gnome application, like gparted
[14:17] <AceKing> Does anyone know of a webcam software that has motion detection and records video?
[14:17] <ahmed> hi i want to install samba to share files with windows i installed samba , system-config-samba, samba-common then i try to run samba from start-application-system it wouldnt to run ilike to configure smaba with gui
[14:17] <afeijo> ops, I have gparted
[14:18] <nejode> tdn: everybody is going to jump on me for saying this: have you tried rebboting?... ouch!
[14:18] <baseman_> hi there. does anybody know, if there is a possibility to integrate kuser in systemsettings?
[14:18] <tdn> apt-get check gives me: zsh: segmentation fault  apt-get check
[14:18] <afeijo> no! I dont have gparted, I did installed during live cd
[14:18] <tdn> nejode, no. I have not tried rebooting yet.
[14:18] <icewind> afeijo: having both kde and gnome doesn't give probelms, it might have a slight preformance decrease because you use both qt and gtk at the same time
[14:19] <Jarvellis> Oh good, adept doesn't work right either
[14:19] <tdn> nejode, I think it seems that my package database is somehow broken and makes apt-get aptitude, etc. segfault.
[14:19] <nejode> tdn: die-hard geeks say no, but sometimes rebooting fixes things...
[14:19] <afeijo> hmmm
[14:20] <BluesKaj> well, I just tried toupdate with kpackage and it crashed so .....
[14:20] <nejode> afeijo: and menus get really cluttered
[14:20] <icewind> ahmed: if you have everythin installed, right click on a folder in dolphin->properties->share->configure file sharing
[14:21] <tdn> nejode, well... I am in the middle of some things that makes it very inconvenient to reboot at this moment. I can reboot in a few hours. But it will be a pain if I cannot install programs for that period.
[14:21] <tdn> nejode, also, I have my doubts that reboot will fix a broken package tree.
[14:21] <nejode> tdn: sure man, it's a pain because tou can't use apt-get to reinstall apt-get
[14:22] <afeijo> funny that kde is evolving so much and the version 4 is so improved, and gnome freezed in time, erghs
[14:22] <ahmed> icewind: it say u need authorised to share folder
[14:23] <afeijo> if I join #ubuntu and call gnome ugly will I be kicked?
[14:23] <tdn> nejode, I don't that that would help, to reinstall apt-get.
[14:23] <icewind> ahmed:close dolpin, in a console: "sudo dolphin" and try it again
[14:23] <tdn> nejode, it is not apt-get that is broken, because aptitude also segfaults. So it must be the data that apt-get and aptitude reads.
[14:23] <icewind> tdn: try "dpkg-reconfigure"
[14:23] <superboy> how do i remove itunes from the command-line
[14:24] <tdn> icewind, which package?
[14:24] <BluesKaj> afeijo, it's a ,matter of taste , some ppl like gnome and it does have a lot of fans
[14:24] <icewind> tdn: just type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure" in a consolre
[14:24] <afeijo> BluesKaj: of course ;)
[14:25] <icewind> superboy: did you installed it using apt/packagemanager
[14:25] <Jarvellis> tdn: have you tried "sudo apt-get -f"?
[14:25] <afeijo> I dont remember who suggested me this week to use dpkg-reconfigure, but after that, I lost keyboard and mouse :( I had to reinstall the whole distro
[14:25] <nejode> tdn:how about renaming /var/cache/apt directory and trying apt-get again
[14:25] <tdn> icewind, it needs a packge to reconfigure.
[14:25] <tdn> Jarvellis, yes. Segfaults.
[14:25] <ahmed> icewind: same errore
[14:25] <tdn> nejode, good idea. Tries.
[14:25] <icewind> tdn: try "dpkg-reconfigure -a"
[14:26] <tdn> icewind, E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
[14:26] <tdn> icewind, sorry. That was for nejode.
[14:26] <tdn> nejode, E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
[14:26] <nejode> icewind: that's a pain man... it reconfigures everything!
[14:26] <basy> hi, my KDE 3.5... works OK and i want to install KDE4 and use both, optimal choice one in grub loader, how to do this?
[14:26] <superboy> how do i remove itunes from the command-line? its under wine
[14:27] <tdn> icewind, trying -a
[14:27] <icewind> nejode: yes, but it fixes a lot of problem
[14:27] <superboy> ice wind would it show if its under wine?
[14:28] <icewind> superboy: in the wine menu, there is a unistall wine software or something simulair
[14:28] <tdn> icewind, but something is clearly wrong somewhere. My system shouldn't be foobar already. It is a clean install. Only a few hours old.
[14:29] <superboy> theres a uninstall wine
[14:29] <icewind> basy: I don't think you can have both 3 and 4 installed on the same linux installation, but you can install kubuntu 8.04 besides 9.04
[14:30] <nejode> tdn: if you "sudo mv /var/cache/apt /var/cache/apt-bak" you get the missing #partial error?
[14:30] <icewind> superboy: in a console "wine uninstaller"
[14:30] <basy> icewind: so best for me is install new Kubuntu with KDE4 on new patriotion ?
[14:31] <icewind> basy: what kde do you use now?
[14:31] <basy> kde 3.5
[14:31] <tdn> nejode, yes.
[14:31] <icewind> basy: then I think the easiest way is to install kubuntu 9.04 desides you current one
[14:31] <Tolucan> hi there ... I've got a problem here ... tried some tweeking (amdcccd&system settings) and while doing so my reboot and shutdown buttons just disappeared o.O
[14:32] <AustLaw> is there some way to make a termal iterate threw autocomplete matches when tab is pressed multiple times, rather than list matches?
[14:32] <basy> icewind: thanks
[14:33] <ahmed> icewind: same errore
[14:33] <icewind> ahmed:for samba settings: in system settings->advanced->samba settings
[14:34] <icewind> Tolucan:system settings->advanced->session manager and make sure "Offer shutdown options" is enabled
[14:34] <ahmed> icewind: i dont find samba setting in system setting- advanced
[14:35] <icewind> ahmen: then you proberbly need to install some packages
[14:35] <Tolucan> thanks! :-)
[14:35] <ahmed> icewind: what i have to install??
[14:35] <baseman_> as we all know (I hope so) the Kubuntu translations are not that good. I thought I could help a little a bit. When going on launchpad there are always a suggestions for that particular string. My question: When do these suggestions appear in Kubuntu?
[14:36] <icewind> ahmed: you have "kdenetwork-filesharing" installed?
[14:36] <Tolucan> and I had to replace the network-manager with wicd ... is there a status-symbol like the one from network-manager?
[14:36] <nejode> tdn: still having fun with the dpkg-reconfigure "everything"?
[14:38] <ahmed> icewind: i installed it now what i have to do theen
[14:39] <icewind> ahmed: try thw system settigns again
[14:39] <tdn> nejode, yes. And it *is* a pain.
[14:40] <ahmed> icewind: i found it now i run it and when it asked about pass i entered the root pass then nothing happened
[14:41] <tdn> I think I am going to reinstall 8.04. This is horrible!
[14:42] <nejode> tdn: I said those same words yesterday!
[14:43] <nejode> tdn: and the cause of 2 days of suffering was: THE KEYBOARD
[14:43] <ahmed> icewind: i found it now i run it and when it asked about pass i entered the root pass then nothing happened
[14:44] <tdn> nejode, it is beyond me, why the people behind Kubuntu decided that KDE 4 is ready for use. I am lacking words for this.
[14:44] <tdn> nejode, did you go back to 8.04?
[14:45] <nejode> tdn: I was using kubuntu since breezy...
[14:45] <zzillezz> why do i keep losing my desktop icons in windows 7  when i install any linux distribution ? :-)
[14:45] <nejode> ...up to hardy
[14:46] <nejode> ...skipped intrepid )used gnome=
[14:46] <nejode> ... and began trying jaunty a couple of days ago
[14:47] <nejode> ... man ...what a mess!
[14:47] <kaddi> because win7 ist still rc and still unstable? :p
[14:47] <nejode> but I got it streightened out now
[14:48] <baseman_> it's not mess
[14:48] <baseman_> i think they are on the right way
[14:48] <nejode> "but I got it streightened out now"
[14:49] <tdn> baseman_, I can tell you that it is a mess right here.
[14:49] <zzillezz> well, that might be, but it would be weird if i'm the only one havind this problem, kaddi
[14:49] <ahmed> icewind: i found it now i run it and when it asked about pass i entered the root pass then nothing happened
[14:49] <baseman_> nejode, I had absolutely no problems
[14:49] <nejode> baseman_: I'm using kubuntu 9.04 right now
[14:49] <baseman_> me too
[14:50] <nejode> baseman_: not all hardware is nthe same
[14:50] <nejode> I have a ati Xpress200 in this machine....
[14:50] <baseman_> nejode, that's right! It runs on my brand new imac and on my laptop
[14:51] <nejode> and have to use the default ati driver
[14:51] <ahmed> icewind: i found it now i run it and when it asked about pass i entered the root pass then nothing happened
[14:51] <baseman_> Yup, me too. But that's actually not a problem of Kubuntu. That's the fu**** thing, that ATI has put the support for some cards on legavy support
[14:51] <BluesKaj> nejode, do you have 3d and DR ?
[14:52] <nejode> Baseman_: I was having many probls with 9.04... until I found out my keyboard was the offender
[14:53] <baseman_> nejode: really??? Wow, that is unbelievable! What were your problems?
[14:53] <nejode> BluesKay: I have Kwin 3d effects... kinda slow
[14:54] <nejode> baseman_: sometimes X wouldn't start...
[14:54] <nejode> ... sometimes copy wouldn't work
[14:55] <nejode> ...sometimes my harddisks wouldn't be found
[14:55] <baseman_> ouch!
[14:55] <baseman_> And now it's working?
[14:55] <nejode> ...problems with disks UUID's
[14:56] <nejode> baseman_: working fine now...a little slow on desktop drawing
[14:57] <tdn> icewind, nejode: dpkg-reconfigure -a worked.
[14:57] <nejode> tdn: great man!
[14:57] <baseman_> nejode: yes, i have some drawing errors with the radeon driver since the propriertary driver does not work with X-Server 1.6 and my Mobility X600
[14:58] <nejode> tdn: icewind was right... it's a pain but it works!
[14:59] <nejode> baseman_: well ati is ati :-(
[14:59] <robin0800> baseman_: have you tried tweaking your xorg conf file?
[14:59] <baseman_> nejode: yup. But they actually did some great work not long ago
[14:59] <ahmed> i cannt run system setting - advanced - Samba it try to tun it it ask for password i enter root pass then nothing hAPPENED
[15:00] <nejode> baseman_: I read that if you dowgrade your xorg xserver to 2.4 you can use the 9.3 driver
[15:00] <baseman_> robin0800: the xorg.conf is a mystery for me. I don't know where to touch it
[15:01] <robin0800> ahmed try a reboot?
[15:01] <baseman_> nejode: the downgrade is hell, or not?
[15:01] <nejode> baseman_: mixed opinions about that
[15:01] <ahmed> robin0800: i did it nothing happened
[15:02] <robin0800> baseman_: look in xorg log for anything that may be disabled
[15:02] <icewind> ahmed:maybe you're missing some other packages
[15:02] <baseman_> robin0800: thank you for that tip
[15:03] <nejode> baseman_: ther's supposed to be a PPA repository with bleeding-edge video drivers
[15:03] <robin0800> ah
[15:03] <nejode> ...give me a minute to give you the link
[15:03] <ahmed> icewind: like what?
[15:03] <icewind> ahmed:try searching for samba in a package manager and install everyting that sounds important
[15:03] <robin0800> ahmed:  you need file sharing installed
[15:04] <baseman_> nejode: but they surely are not very stable
[15:04] <totix> How can I make USB devices accessible to every user? Currently I need to do chmod 777 /dev/bus/usb/*/* or run my app as root. I'm running kubuntu 8.04
[15:05] <baseman_> robin0800: my xorg.conf is empty (default settting)
[15:05] <icewind> ahmed: not sure, things like samba, samba-tool, samba-common,
[15:05] <nejode> baseman_: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/graphic-video-drivers-ubuntu-repository.html
[15:05] <robin0800> baseman_: yes it will be!
[15:05] <fossil> hey
[15:06] <icewind> hi
[15:07] <fossil> i got 2 hard drives is it possible to setup the second for an ubuntu install adn still beable to keep my windows install on the first disk
[15:07] <ahmed> icewind:i installed samba samba-tools samba-common  system-samba-config
[15:07] <fossil> a dule boot
[15:07] <baseman_> nejode: thank you! That is great
[15:08] <nejode> baseman_: be carefull though
[15:08] <baseman_> nejode: Did you make bad experience?
[15:08] <ahmed> icewind: what else to install???
[15:09] <nejode> baseman_: no yet man... I'll begin to sufer tomorrow
[15:09] <baseman_> nejode: why suffer?
[15:09] <icewind> fossil: yes during kubuntu installation, chose for use entire disk, and chose the one not used by windows (proberbly the seccond)
[15:09] <nejode> baseman_: murphy's law
[15:10] <fossil> ok but is the first disk still bootable adn (fyi they are to PYSICAL harddrives
[15:10] <baseman_> nejode: alright
[15:11] <fossil> i cant raid them
[15:11] <nejode> baseman_: right now everything is working fine (a little bit slow)
[15:11] <icewind> fossil: the installer will detect your windows disk and add it to the bootloader
[15:11] <nejode> ...and I'll still leave ubuntu 8.10 in my laptop for a while
[15:12] <fossil> ok
[15:12] <icewind> ahmed: I don't know
[15:12] <baseman_> nejode: I'll try it
[15:12] <fossil> well ill back up and try
[15:12] <baseman_> nejode: thank you so far
[15:12] <nejode> baseman_: we've got an install-fest on the 23rd of this month...
[15:13] <fossil> can you doit in wubi since i run wubi at the moment
[15:13] <nejode> ... and I don't want to screwup the laptop just yet
[15:13] <icewind> fossil: I don't now, never used wubi
[15:14] <fossil> ight
[15:15] <fossil> another thing dose anyone have advice on how to go about fixing this?
[15:15] <baseman_> nejode: and what will be done on that fest?
[15:15] <fossil> i have a hd dvdr-rw  cd-r rw and it nolonger runs in windows but in linux it works just fine
[15:15] <fossil> lol
[15:16] <fossil> fu... MS
[15:16] <fossil> i read online that theres an error on the registry
[15:16] <fossil> VISTA home prem
[15:16] <RootRay> hello, what is the maximum amount of hardware RAM that linux can support?
[15:17] <fossil> hi
[15:17] <nejode> baseman_: we had a big install-fest last month: Festval Latinoamericano de Instalacion de Software Libre...
[15:17] <baseman_> haha: the registry. Sh++
[15:17] <Guest80895> depends on the version
[15:17] <icewind> RootRay: 32 bits: 4 GiB, 64 bits: something like 16.000. TiB
[15:17] <Guest80895> 64 bit though.. more than you can put on most desktop PCs i think ;)
[15:17] <fossil> RootRay: that is a good question
[15:17] <robin0800> ahmed you need kde file-sharing
[15:17] <nejode> baseman_: and this is a continuation to bring back the new converts
[15:17] <baseman_> nejode: I come from Europe =)
[15:17] <RootRay> i heard you can use PAE with linux 32bit to address more ram
[15:18] <RootRay> how can you turn this PAE feature on in Linux?
[15:18] <icewind> RootRay: origanal you could only have 2GiB ram, with PAE 4GiB
[15:18] <RootRay> anyone has any experience
[15:18] <nejode> baseman_: Caracas, Venezuela
[15:19] <RootRay> in that case wouldnt it be nice to have PAE in every linux 32 installation
[15:19] <baseman_> nejode: great! My sister lives in Santiago de Chile
[15:19] <ahmed> robin0800: how to install it?
[15:20] <nejode> baseman_: kinda far from here though... about 5000 Ktms
[15:20] <icewind> RootRay: I think ever modern OS has PAE default
[15:20] <RootRay> todays ram at 4gb max is ridiculously very low, the ratio to hard disk size is like 1 to 100
[15:20] <baseman_> nejode: yes I know. But it's America =)
[15:21] <RootRay> too much page swapping, when all that is needed is a just a few more gb of memory which is very cheap nowadays to add
[15:21] <lago^blue> hey... i got problem with my notebook and establishing the wlan-connection (JJ), while the wlan works great with my desktop here with which i'm writing with atm... any ideas? (II)
[15:21] <lago^blue> the notebook recognizes the connection point
[15:22] <lago^blue> but wont connect
[15:22] <ahmed> robin0800: i already have kdenetwork-filesharing installed
[15:22] <baseman_> lago^blue: hey! My problem was KWallet
[15:22] <icewind> RootRay:never mind, I confused PAE with something different, PAE support up to 64 GiB
[15:23] <RootRay> yes, how do you turn this PAE feature in linux
[15:23] <nejode> baseman_, tdm, icewind: nice talking to you guys, i'll be going..
[15:23] <lago^blue> baseman_: Kwallet? could you tell me sth. more specific plz?
[15:23] <icewind> bye nejode
[15:23] <baseman_> nejode: yes, seems like here's a communtiy =)! Bye.
[15:24] <lago^blue> i'm not so used to kde actually
[15:24] <faileas> RootRay: PAE has lower performance than 64 bit tho
[15:25] <faileas> so it makes more sense to have a 64 bit OS
[15:25] <icewind> RootRay: you would also need a kernel with pae enabled
[15:25] <baseman_> lago^blue: KWallet is a program that safely stores passwords. You can also store your wpa-key there. In my case KNetworkManager had a problem getting the stored password. So i completely killed everthiny in there and now it works fine.
[15:26] <BCMM> after upgrading to jaunty, kde is in french. any idea why?
[15:26] <RootRay> so that means that I would have to recompile the kernel to turn on this PAE feature, right?
[15:26] <RootRay> so that means that I would have to recompile the kernel to turn on this PAE feature, right?
[15:26] <icewind> RootRay: I think so, or you will have to find a prebuild kernel with pae
[15:26] <icewind> RootRay: but it would be a pain to get it working
[15:27] <RootRay> and the motherboard and hardware devices would need to support PAE too
[15:27] <RootRay> which is not always the case with some computers
[15:27] <RootRay> so 64 bit seems the way to go
[15:28] <PhilRod> BCMM: have you tried changing it in system settings -> regional and lang?
[15:28] <icewind> RootRay: It seems the ubuntu server kernel supports PAE, but it would require some configuring to use the server kernel in a excisting desktop system
[15:28] <BCMM> PhilRod, yes, removed all reference to french, but some thigns are still in french
[15:29] <BCMM> PhilRod, french was one of the available languages before the upgrade, for spellchecking, but not random bits of the interface are in french
[15:29] <BCMM> ^now
[15:29] <PhilRod> BCMM: I've had an issue like this (years ago). I suspect that what happens is that some apps write things into the config files in the current language
[15:29] <m477> how can i run folder view like desktop on kd 4.2 ( widget) on gnome ?
[15:29] <PhilRod> can you give an example of something that's in french? I might be able to test my theory
[15:29] <m477> kde*
[15:31] <icewind> m477: click on the litle weird button in the top-right corner of the desktop, chose appearanse settings
[15:32] <icewind> m477: and for type, chose folder view
[15:33] <m477> icewind: im on 9.04
[15:33] <m477> icewind: there are other options
[15:34] <icewind> m477:it should work in 9.04
[15:34] <m477> icewind: but u know that im on gnome ?
[15:35] <icewind> m477:then I can't help you, I never used gnome
[15:35] <m477> icewind: on top right corner i got button to reset log out etc.
[15:35] <PhilRod> m477: #gnome or #ubuntu would probably be better places to ask
[15:35] <m477> thanks
[15:36] <icewind> m477:yeah, I thougt you were using kde
[15:36] <odla> how can i change the theme in firefox to something like clearlooks?
[15:37] <bhna> i installd the dmz-black mouse cursor theme, bad there is nodmz in systemsettings. is there any trick?
[15:37] <icewind> odla: themes in firefox are used by installing addons, try the mozzila addon site and search for themes
[15:37] <odla> icewind: i thought i need to change the gtk theme somehow in systemsettings?
[15:38] <icewind> odla:if you use a firefox theme it will overide the gtk theme
[15:39] <lago^blue> baseman_: you were right, tyvm!
[15:39] <Jack8899> I need to kill java, how do I do it?
[15:40] <icewind> Jack8899: alt+f2->show system activity, search for java and chose kill
[15:42] <Jack8899> icewind: cool, thanks
[15:42] <icewind> Jack8899: no problem
[15:43] <Jack8899> icewind: Do you know how I instll jdownloader?
[15:43] <icewind> make mrproper
[15:43] <icewind> ehh, wrong clipboar
[15:44] <icewind> clipboard*
[15:44] <icewind> Jack8899: sorry, no
[15:45] <Jack8899> Dow anyone know how I can install jdownloader? Ithas a jd,sh file but I don't know what to do with it
[15:45] <odla> will 4.2.3 hit 9.04?
[15:45] <millun> hi, anybody got experience with unixODBC?
[15:48] <icewind> odla: there's a PPA with 4.2.3 for 9.04
[15:48] <odla> icewind: i know i'm curious if it's worth updating ... i get a few crashes here and there but nothing serious
[15:49] <odla> also i'm glad that kubuntu stuck with the upstream artwork ...it's very nice
[15:51] <MediocreHippie> _Whipper: OHA
[15:51] <MediocreHippie> move
[15:51] <MediocreHippie> show me what you can do
[15:51] <MediocreHippie> step into the circle
[15:55] <AceKing> Anyone know the best program to use for video ipods?
[16:04] <AceKing> Anyone know the best program to use for video ipods?
[16:06] <nodesert> hello, i just installed kde4 but panel is crashed and i can not bring it back?do you know how can i fix this
[16:07] <alonea> with the upgrade some of my programs have seemed to have lost their icon sets? Ex: Open Office.
[16:08] <alonea> Any idea what the missing packages might be?
[16:10] <icewind> nodesert: alt+f2, plasma
[16:12] <steve_> Can I set a shortcut key to open a terminal?
[16:15] <icewind> steve_:install yuake, then you can press F12 (or you can configure something else) to show a terminal
[16:16] <podecoet> hooray! the issues with twinview are solved in 9.04
[16:16] <podecoet> hopefully installing compiz doesn't break everything now
[16:17] <steve_> icewind, typo? Is that the quake-style drop-down thing? I'd prefer a normal window opens
[16:17] <steve_> that way I can have many of them
[16:18] <alonea> ok, I got icons in open office, but the menu's are still all the ugly blocky gray. What is going on? is it something with gtk or what?
[16:19] <ign0ramus> alonea, you're missing a package... i'm looking for the correct one
[16:20] <alonea> ign0ramus: thanks! is it gtk related? I got a style installed for open office, so I don't think its that, or is it?
[16:21] <ign0ramus> alonea, actually, i'm not sure if OOo is gtk, but it sure as heck ain't Qt
[16:21] <ign0ramus> alonea, oh, so all your icons and everything are there, just the menu's look gtk-ish?
[16:22] <alonea> ign0ramus: I dunno, I think someone told me once that it was or something rather. well, the icons were not there when I did humane style, so I tried crystal style and the icons are there, but the menus look like blocky windows 95 gray
[16:23] <ign0ramus> alonea, do you have the 'gtk-qt-engine' package intalled?
[16:23] <alonea> ign0ramus: let me check
[16:24] <alonea> ign0ramus: nope, let me try.
[16:24] <ign0ramus> alonea, once that is installed, go to System Settings, and you should now have the old "gtk styles and fonts" option available again.
[16:26] <alonea> ign0ramus: ok, lets see...
[16:26] <podecoet> Kubuntu 9.04 = pure win. Everything now works flawlessly!
[16:27] <alonea> podecoet: much better than before, still got graphical issues, but thats more intels fault...
[16:27] <steve_> Can I set a keyboard shortcut to open a console?
[16:27] <ign0ramus> alonea, also, i would recommend installing "gtk2-engines-qtcurve" and "kde-style-qtcurve"...
[16:27] <alonea> ign0ramus: ok, will do. wonder how they got uninstalled...probably got messed up in upgrade
[16:27] <podecoet> alonea: I had 8.04 which worked fine aside from random X crashes... moved to 8.10, absolute hell
[16:27] <ign0ramus> alonea, then set gtk apps to use Qtcurve... you'll have to restart X to see changes, but it is worth it
[16:27] <AustLaw> when a package is installed from the package manager, is there a typical way to configure it?
[16:28] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, "<packagename> --help" will usually tell you
[16:31] <alonea> ign0ramus: ok, lemme restart X. brb
[16:31] <ign0ramus> alonea, k
[16:32] <AustLaw> so I guess you always just have to go digging around :/
[16:33] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, every app is different as far as configuration goes... it's good to read!
[16:33] <superboy> how could i add freshmeat.net as a repo??
[16:33] <AustLaw> its nice to know where to start reading
[16:34] <superboy> how could i add freshmeat.net as a repo??
[16:35] <ign0ramus> superboy, you want to add an entire site as a repo?
[16:38] <superboy> um i dont know could i

[16:43] <AceKing> Does anyone know if there is an ipod program for the video ipod?
[16:44] <griselda> help
[16:44] <ign0ramus> shashu, look at Input Actions in System Settings.  Make as many keyboard shortcuts as you want

[16:45] <Eruaran> !compiz superboy
[16:45] <Eruaran> err
[16:45] <Eruaran> !compiz
[16:45] <ign0ramus> superboy, i don't even think beryl has been updated for years now
[16:46] <Eruaran> superboy, you may be thinking of Compiz Fusion, but KDE doesn't need Compiz.
[16:46] <helen> alguien que hable en castellano?
[16:47] <AceKing> Anyone own an Ipod Video? How do you load your videos onto it?

[16:56] <AustLaw> is there some way to make the prompt and input text in konsole a different color?
[16:57] <joaquinz> hi everyone!
[16:57] <joaquinz> i've trouble with jaunty and strigi in kde 4.2... it doesn'tw work ive tried changing the backend from redladn to sesame2 but it didn't work...
[16:58] <joaquinz> does anybody know how to use a backend called virtuoso or something like that?
[17:03] <mittmormon> why does kubuntu stuff never work?  Backtrack 3's wireless works on my dads laptop, but not Jaunty.  Firefox is crappier than windows's firefox becuase youtube gets skippy after firefox has been running for a few hours.
[17:03] <astromme> joaquinz: the virtuoso backend isn't ready yet
[17:03] <astromme> joaquinz: I'm not sure if sesame2 is packaged with kubuntu
[17:04] <astromme> joaquinz: If it isn't, then the strigi <--> nepomuk stuff will not work well
[17:05] <joaquinz> sesame2 is packaged and i've installed it, but it didn't work... i know that virtuoso isn't ready yet but i want to use it from source code if its neccesary
[17:05] <astromme> AustLaw: Yes, edit your profile (settings -> manage profiles) and look at the Appearance tab
[17:05] <william_> is therer a way to upgrade my KDE to to KDE 4.....?
[17:05] <AustLaw> I dont see an option for it
[17:05] <astromme> mittmormon: The Kubuntu network manager plasmoid is taken from kde svn, some things aren't working :(
[17:06] <JontheEchidna> sesame backend is installable. It should prompt you when you go to System Settings -> Desktop Search
[17:06] <susbwoy> mittmormon: I'm pretty sure the release notes for 9.04 state that you cant connect to WPA2 networks using the plasmoid/kubuntu. It's a pain :(
[17:07] <ign0ramus> there's always wicd, which is now in the repos
[17:08] <mittmormon> kubuntu sucks.  are there any other distros with working wifi ?
[17:08] <mittmormon> it's not like you can install backtrack to the hard drive
[17:08] <mittmormon> not painlessly that is.
[17:09] <mittmormon> whats plasmoid kubuntu ?
[17:09] <ign0ramus> mittmormon, it kind of depends on your card... did you ever try reading the documentation?
[17:09] <astromme> mittmormon: but the upstream plasmoid is working better now. I installed it from kde svn and it connects to my complex WPA2 enterprise network
[17:10] <mittmormon> ign0ramus: what documentation?
[17:10] <mittmormon> why doesent simple stuff "just work" ?  i thought thats what kubuntu is about.
[17:10] <susbwoy> mittmormon: if you can get onto the net without wireless, download another network manager and your wireless should be able to connect
[17:10] <mittmormon> for human n00bs
[17:10] <mittmormon> susbwoy: you mean knetworkmanager ?
[17:10] <mittmormon> thats what i have been using
[17:10] <ign0ramus> mittmormon, release notes.  most of it depends on how nicely the manufacturers play with FOSS
[17:11] <mittmormon> i hate reading.  it plays nicely with backtrack 3
[17:11] <curiouscuz> i have'nt had any major issues with kubuntu
[17:11] <astromme> AustLaw: Settings -> Manage Profiles -> Edit profile -> Appearance tab -> Edit on the right -> change whatever colors you want
[17:11] <AustLaw> I was hoping to change just the promt and input text color
[17:11] <astromme> mittmormon: are you using knetworkmanager or the network manager plasmoid?
[17:11] <astromme> AustLaw: so edit the currently selected one
[17:11] <mittmormon> i was using knetworkmanager
[17:12] <ign0ramus> mittmormon, ubuntu and derivatives take a very free (libre) stance on drivers, codecs, etc.  Other distros (like Mint) don't care about that stuff and include it all by default.  For someone new, you may want to explore that possibility
[17:12] <astromme> mittmormon: oh, I've never had luck with knetworkmanager
[17:12] <mittmormon> what is teh package name for this plasmoid ?
[17:12] <curiouscuz> works flawlessly with my hardware... installed on a partition on my laptop besides Vista, and I have not booted into Vista since Jaunty release
[17:12] <astromme> mittmormon: It's on jaunty, installed by default
[17:12] <mittmormon> i was testing with jaunty but as a live cd
[17:12] <AustLaw> astrolite: is there a way to set the prompt color?
[17:12] <astromme> mittmormon: if you upgraded from an earlier ubuntu, you can add it to your desktop through the normal add widgets dialog
[17:13] <astromme> or your panel
[17:13] <mittmormon> what about apt-get ?
[17:13] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, that question was already answered.  It's in Settings>Edit Current Profile
[17:13] <astromme> AustLaw: I've told you how man...
[17:13] <mittmormon> i'll run apt-cache search plamoid
[17:13] <astromme> you'll get a log
[17:13] <astromme> s/log/lot
[17:13] <mittmormon> oh
[17:13] <astromme> sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-network-manager? something like that
[17:13] <AustLaw> I am looking at the dialog, I see no option to change JUST the prompt and input text color
[17:13] <astromme> I'm not on kubuntu at the moment
[17:14]  * astromme has to go. Sorry
[17:14] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, its right there in the "Appearance" tab
[17:14] <mittmormon> apt-get install plasmoid-wifi
[17:14] <AustLaw> what, where?
[17:15] <curiouscuz> mittmormon: try apt-get install network-manager
[17:15] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, dude, are you reading any answers to your questions?  Settings>Edit Current Profile>Appearance
[17:15] <mittmormon> i already have network-manager
[17:15] <mittmormon> how do i run it ?
[17:15] <AustLaw> dude, I am looking at that window..obviously
[17:15] <AustLaw> is anyone reading the question? lol
[17:16] <AustLaw> I dont want to change "black" to "red"
[17:16] <AustLaw> I was wondering if there was a way to change just the "prompt" and "input" text
[17:16] <curiouscuz> mittmormon: install plasmoid widget for "Network Management"
[17:17] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, that you can edit in ~/.bashrc
[17:18] <mittmormon> ign0ramus: under add widgets > install new widgets ?
[17:19] <ign0ramus> mittmormon, i don't understand you... what is the full question?
[17:19] <mittmormon> curiouscuz: under add widgets > install new widgets ?
[17:19] <mittmormon> my bad
[17:19] <curiouscuz> mittmormon: go to http://www.kubuntu.org/news/9.04-release and Search "Network Managment" for instructions
[17:19] <mittmormon> ohok thanx
[17:20] <william_> hello yall
[17:20] <AustLaw> worked, thanks :)
[17:21] <william_> welocme
[17:21] <mittmormon> tf?  there's no search box.
[17:21] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, np.  sorry about the miscommunication ;)
[17:22] <ign0ramus> AustLaw, kind of weird, though... i have mine set to 'blue' and prompt text is green... whatever though :P
[17:22] <william_> Is Kubuntu just the KDE version of Ubuntu?
[17:22] <ign0ramus> william_, yes
[17:22] <AustLaw> yeah I just uncommented the force-colored line or whatever..it made it green
[17:23] <william_> I think I have transformed my Ubuntu to Kubuntu
[17:23] <william_> ign0ramus, Konveresation connected me to this channel
[17:24] <susbwoy> Hi, i've got a case where i have around 40+ rar files in a format of .part01.rar .part02.rar  etc, and each rar has an average of 10 files in them, going from AtoZ .part01.rar to .part40.rar. How am i able to extract all the files at once without having to go through each rar? Can i do this with ark?
[17:24] <AceKing> William_: You should be able to just extract the first file in the series
[17:24] <curiouscuz> susbwoy: I ran into that situation once. didn't have time to research so installed WinRar over wine and that helped
[17:25] <susbwoy> curiouscuz: it's nearly at that point :P
[17:26] <curiouscuz> susbwoy: i feel you pain
[17:26] <ign0ramus> sorry... battery died on me
[17:26] <curiouscuz> ;p
[17:28] <jarle> What is the recommended audio system to use in kubuntu 9.04, is it pulseaudio or is it ALSA?
[17:29] <AceKing> Does anyone know of a webcam motion detector program that records video?
[17:31] <ign0ramus> AceKing, check 'zoneminder'
[17:31] <jarle> AceKing: http://www.zoneminder.com/
[17:32] <AceKing> ign0ramus: I installed that one but I couldn't it after install
[17:32] <ign0ramus> AceKing, couldn't what?  the whole thing?
[17:32] <susbwoy> curiouscuz: beautiful. the program 'rar' did it nicely. rar x *.part01.rar
[17:33] <curiouscuz> anyone figured out resolution for webcam issue with kopete and skype?
[17:33] <susbwoy> curiouscuz: so you know for future reference
[17:33] <curiouscuz> susbwoy: thanks
[17:34] <AceKing> ign0ramus: after I installed it I looked for it in the menu and it wasn't there.. I did a 'which ZoneMinder' and had no luck with that either
[17:34] <draik> Hello everyone. How can I watch video through TTY/konsole/terminal?
[17:34] <ign0ramus> AceKing, did you try lowercase?
[17:34] <ign0ramus> sup draik
[17:34] <AceKing> ign0ramus: yes
[17:35] <ign0ramus> AceKing, "locate zoneminder"
[17:35] <draik> ign0ramus: Hey there. I'm using irssi on my server edition of 9.04.
[17:35] <ign0ramus> AceKing, should be in /usr/bin
[17:35] <AceKing> ign0ramus: ok, I'll try that
[17:35] <ign0ramus> draik, sweet - headless?
[17:35] <draik> ign0ramus: headless?
[17:36] <ign0ramus> draik, nvm. i misunderstood :P
[17:36] <draik> ign0ramus: sever, huh?
[17:36] <ign0ramus> draik, what are you doing with your server?
[17:37] <draik> ign0ramus: Nothing at all really. I'm just going to end up using it as my storage for pix, docs and music. Then, I can pull it as necessary from the desktop or laptop.
[17:37] <ign0ramus> draik, nice.  which box do you have this on?
[17:38] <draik> I'm on the server right now using irssi.
[17:38] <draik> The desktop is off right now.
[17:39] <ign0ramus> you installed server edition on one of the laptops?
[17:40] <ign0ramus> draik, apparently, you can watch video in terminal using mplayer
[17:40] <draik> ign0ramus: Nope. I worked on someone's computer and they called me back later thanking me and offered me another desktop that they don't need. It was given to me as gratitude (he saw my collection at home) and gifted it to me. Not bad to be honest. 1.8GHz P4 with 1GB RAM and 80GB HDD.
[17:41] <ign0ramus> if it's free, it's for me :)
[17:41] <ign0ramus> draik: "sudo mplayer -vo svga -ao sdl _____.avi"
[17:42] <draik> ign0ramus: I turned it down at first, but then thought about how I've been wanting to build a server so that I can have something to play with, so I called him back up a day or two later to ask for it if it was not given away elsewhere.
[17:42] <ign0ramus> draik, NEVER turn down free electronics (especially if they are in working condition)!
[17:42] <ign0ramus> plus now you have what, 5 or 6 computers?
[17:43] <AceKing> ign0ramus: I found where zoneminder is located but when I click on it it says... ZoneMinder is an executable text file.. I clicked 'Run' and it does nothing
[17:44] <shashu> hello
[17:44] <draik> He didn't just give me the tower itself (as expected). He gave me the keyboard, 18" viewable monitor and an external USB 4-port hub.
[17:44] <curiouscuz> hi
[17:44] <shashu> can someone please tell me what Cntrl + Alt + F4 does in Kubuntu?
[17:44] <draik> ign0ramus: The count is at 5 right now
[17:45] <ign0ramus> draik, you're a geek.
[17:45] <draik> shashu: It takes you to TTY4
[17:45] <shashu> what is that?
[17:45] <ign0ramus> AceKing, i don't personally know much about it, just enough to tell you what it's for... here's an ubuntu HOWTO (it's a bit dated, but the commands should still be the same)... http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu
[17:45] <shashu> I'm an amateur
[17:46] <draik> shashu: Imagine konsole without a border or close buttons. It's just command line entry.
[17:46] <shashu> so how do you get out of it?
[17:46] <draik> ign0ramus: I get a few hook-ups from time to time.
[17:46] <AceKing> ign0ramus: thanks for your help
[17:46] <ign0ramus> ctrl+alt+f7
[17:46] <curiouscuz> CTRL + ALT + F7
[17:46] <shashu> I thought I got into trouble
[17:46] <shashu> and tried many things
[17:46] <ign0ramus> AceKing, np bro
[17:46] <draik> shashu: F1-F6 are TTY and F7-F12 are GUI
[17:46] <shashu> oh cool
[17:46] <shashu> can I try
[17:46] <draik> You can do it at any time
[17:47] <shashu> cool
[17:47] <shashu> thanks
[17:47] <ign0ramus> draik, i was helping someone install an nvidia driver, but X could not be running... i had them boot into a root shell.  When dropping into TTY, does that effectively kill X, or is it still running?
[17:48] <draik> ign0ramus: I got a great hook-up recently with my car's rims. Turns out that model won't be made for another 30 days. It wasn't announced (publicly) or put in any form of finding it online, but I ordered them and didn't realize they weren't even machined yet.
[17:48] <shashu> cooool
[17:48] <shashu> thanks a lot
[17:48] <shashu> its exciting
[17:48] <ign0ramus> draik, will need pics.
[17:48] <shashu> and scary
[17:48] <draik> ign0ramus: I don't recall. I do believe it is killed.
[17:49] <curiouscuz> shashu: use that trick on family and friends you dont want on you computer :P
[17:49] <ign0ramus> draik, i wasn't sure either, so i just had the kid reboot, but a ctrl+alt+f1 would have been much quicker
[17:49] <draik> ign0ramus: 'htop' and 'F9 => 9' the X process to be sure.
[17:49] <ign0ramus> draik, and then just "startx" when finished?
[17:49] <draik> Yup
[17:49] <draik> Doing CTRL+ALT+F1 won't always kill X. You're just telling the system to put you in TTY1 when you do that.
[17:49] <ign0ramus> should have thought of that, but the root shell in recovery kernel option is so easy
[17:50] <ign0ramus> draik, that's what i suspected
[17:50] <shashu> ok
[17:50] <draik> ign0ramus: Something you may or may not know, if I go from TTY1 to TTY2 right now, TTY2 stays active even if I don't login.
[17:51] <ign0ramus> draik, that doesn't sound very secure
[17:51] <ign0ramus> i guess for most purposes, it won't matter, though
[17:52] <draik> ign0ramus: I don't see it as an issue. If I launch TTY2, then go to my GUI (on my desktop), during shutdown in the GUI, I will be informed of all TTY's which were made active. Even those which I didn't login.
[17:53] <ign0ramus> draik, i see what you're saying... that's actually pretty handy
[17:53] <draik> ign0ramus: Well, breakfast is ready. Then I have to head off to work. I'll TTYL (in about 2 weeks). Going on a trip this upcoming weekend.
[17:53] <curiouscuz> anyone figured out resolution for webcam issue with kopete and skype?
[17:53] <ign0ramus> draik, good luck bro. see you around
[17:53] <draik> ign0ramus: Likewise.
[17:55] <Dragnslcr> The repository has the latest version of Flash, right?
[18:04] <sigma_za> does anyone know if the compro k200 remote works with mythtv / lirc?
[18:10] <ubuntu> hi
[18:10] <MDxe> anyone around? :
[18:12] <MDxe> I installed mandriva, and it has corrupted my partition table. I assume this is a common linux thing?
[18:12] <MDxe> wondering how I can fix this
[18:13] <xjjk> MDxe: it's not a common Linux thing...
[18:13] <xjjk> what do you mean corrupted?
[18:13] <MDxe> I get a disc boot failure
[18:14] <bdizzle> hi
[18:14] <bdizzle> I recently upgraded my laptop to 9.04 and for some reason, regardless of the level of volume, the startup music plays
[18:15] <rayster> did you install it expecting to be able to dual boot with windows?
[18:15] <bdizzle> while its playing, I try to lower the volume, and yet the volume of the music stays the same
[18:15] <MDxe> this is what i did: i have xp as the main os. I installed mandriva from the live cd, letting it choose the relevent partitions. Set win xp as main os, and rebooted. It booted fine from grub into xp. I went to admin tools, comp managment to see what the partitions looked like.
[18:15] <MDxe> rebooted and got a disc boot failure
[18:15] <bdizzle> I'm also having a problem detecting one of the partitions, where I have about 10 gigs that is unused sadly
[18:16] <bdizzle> and unable to be accessed
[18:16] <MDxe> putting in the mandriva live disc tells me the partition table is corrupted
[18:16] <MDxe> this kubuntu live disc has no partition manager heh
[18:17] <bdizzle> uh, shouldn't it through install?
[18:17] <MDxe> is there some sort of utility to fix this?
[18:18] <MDxe> well I dont want to install it jsut see if this live cd can see it or ifi ts has some util to fix
[18:18] <bdizzle> anyone around to help with partitions?
[18:18] <rayster> can you boot from a livecd and use grub-install to correct?
[18:22] <bdizzle> wow, I'm actually missing two partitions
[18:23] <MDxe> grub-install?
[18:28] <Dhraakellian> how much does Kubuntu patch KDE?
[18:28] <rayster> MDxe this might be helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[18:29] <deekay> hi guys
[18:30] <deekay> well i got a problem
[18:30] <deekay> im trying to get my netgear wnda3100 wifi stick to work
[18:30] <deekay> and so i installed the compat-wireless package from linuxwireles.org
[18:30] <deekay> those guys in #linux-wireless just told me i gotta upgrade my kernel to 2.6.29
[18:30] <deekay> right now i have 2.6.28-11
[18:31] <deekay> can u guys tell me how to upgrade my kernel
[18:31] <deekay> ?
[18:31] <coleys> deekay: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[18:31] <deekay> nothing to upgrade
[18:32] <coleys> sudo apt-get update first?
[18:32] <deekay> thats what they told me in #linux-wireless
[18:32] <deekay> [19:16:14] <NetRolller3D> Oops... you must upgrade your kernel to 2.6.29 to get ar9170, as it needs USB poisoning support.
[18:32] <deekay> yeah i've done sudo apt-get update first
[18:33] <MDxe> says file not found
[18:33] <MDxe> :/
[18:33] <deekay> thats what i get
[18:33] <deekay> 0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert.
[18:33] <bdizzle> deekay: try installing wicd, i've found it to be much easier to understand and modify than knetworkmanager
[18:33] <deekay> well i tried wicd once
[18:33] <deekay> but thats not my problem
[18:34] <deekay> i first have to get my wifi stick to work
[18:34] <deekay> iwconfig says: lo, pan0, eth0 - no wireless extension
[18:34] <deekay> but
[18:34] <coleys> deekay: Whats your stick called?
[18:34] <deekay> but lsusb says: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0846:9010 NetGear, Inc.
[18:34] <deekay> my stick ist called: Netgear WNDA3100
[18:36] <deekay> http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170
[18:36] <deekay> thats the driver i need
[18:36] <deekay> but i dont know how to install that
[18:36] <coleys> deekay: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885520
[18:37] <coleys> Brb, restarting!
[18:39] <deekay> no way around ndiswrapper?
[18:40] <coleys_> deekay: Any luck?
[18:41] <deekay> well thats a solution with ndiswrapper, is there no solution without it?
[18:42] <coleys> deekay: I don't believe so, but I found ndisswrapper drivers to be faster. =p
[18:42] <Wazmyn> What's the cli command to see what kernels you have installed?
[18:42] <deekay> cat /proc/version
[18:42] <deekay> mean this ?
[18:43] <deekay> well then i gotta try it with ndis wrapper
[18:43] <deekay> em ndiswrapper :D
[18:44] <coleys> With the gui, it should be pretty simple. I didn't have gui when I had to use ndis :(
[18:49] <Wazmyn> deekay I was looking for the command that will tell me all of the options I have installed. I think I need to update grub
[18:51] <hyper_ch> anyone knows where I could get Kubuntu stickers from?
[18:51] <deekay> well coleys... im gonna try nativ solutions first and then as my last option ndiswrapper...
[18:52] <deekay> but thanks for that thread-link
[18:53] <deekay> okay guys,,, another try
[18:53] <deekay> how do i install kernel version 2.6.29 ?
[18:53] <deekay> i have 2.6.28-11 on kubuntu 9.04 and those guys at linux-wireless told me i have to install 2.6.29 for it to work
[18:54] <Guest66251> sucks deekay
[18:54] <Guest66251> u gotta compile the kernel
[18:54] <hyper_ch> deekay: compile it yourself
[18:55] <Guest66251> i wish ubuntu had a already compiled vanilla kernel
[18:55] <Guest66251> like linux-rt
[18:55] <deekay> aha okay and how does that work ?
[18:55] <Guest66251> for 2.6.29
[18:55] <hyper_ch> deekay: with lots and lots of reading
[18:55] <deekay> okay well then ima try it with ndiswrapper...
[18:56] <deekay> the requirements are an already installed driver for that stick under windows and i do have it installed under my win partition

[19:18] <Project-Emerald> I closed thwe widget to see my desktop
[19:18] <Project-Emerald> How do I get it back?
[19:21] <tdn> How do I get GTK programs to look like QT programs in Kubuntu 9.04?
[19:22] <kyle_> Why must i kill people in gta 2 through wine?
[19:23] <Dhraakellian>  tdn: gtk-qt-engine
[19:23] <Dhraakellian> and, according to a quick apt search, it looks like it should be the qt4 one
[19:24] <czarek> hi all
[19:24] <william_> grgr
[19:25] <czarek> is there someone from kdewebdev team?
[19:25] <tdn> How do I install Katapult in Kubuntu 9.04?
[19:26] <tdn> Or are there a newer alternative to Katapuklt in KDE4?
[19:27] <Project-Emerald> I closed thwe widget to see my desktop
[19:27] <Project-Emerald> Like, the big desktop where everything saves
[19:27] <Project-Emerald> How do I get it back?
[19:28] <dwidmann> tdn: krunner has absorbed much of katapult's functionality, use it with alt+f2 (key combo can be changed)
[19:29] <armadill0> Does skype work for anyone with 9.04?  It's not working for me.
[19:29] <dwidmann> Project-Emerald: I don't think the desktop itself can be removed ... try restarting plasma (in a terminal) kquitapp plasma && sleep 5 && plasma
[19:29] <jussi01> armadill0: works fine here
[19:29] <tdn> dwidmann, ah crap. I liked Katapult. I liked having BOTH the runner and katapult. Used them for different things.
[19:30] <czarek> Dhraakellian: I have gtk-qt-engine installed, but still GTK apps looks like GTK apps... eg. Firefox or Synaptic
[19:30] <jussi01> armadill0: installed from medibuntu
[19:30] <Dhraakellian> czarek: change your gtk theme to it?
[19:30] <dwidmann> tdn: I was traumatized as well ... still miss a couple of katapult's features
[19:30] <carpii> i made the mistake of installing 9.04 on a laptop i took away this weekend
[19:30] <armadill0> jussi01: yeah so did I.  You are using kubuntu right?  For reasons I don't understand, I've seen some discussion implying skype works fine for gnome users.
[19:30] <carpii> its just unusable

[19:31] <jussi01> armadill0: huh? Im on straight kubuntu here and its fine
[19:31]  * Dhraakellian only recently installed Kubuntu 9.04
[19:31] <tdn> Can anyone please tell me about the rationale behind switching the functionality of PgDn and PgUp in Konsole? This is extremely annoying!
[19:31] <carpii> you can reassign them i think
[19:31] <armadill0> jussi01: Ok, and just to check, you're using 9.04?
[19:31] <dwidmann> Project-Emerald: fun ... try typing "plasma" again
[19:31] <carpii> but kde 4 keeps losing my global shortcuts every boot anyway
[19:31] <Project-Emerald> it came back
[19:32] <Project-Emerald> but the widget for my desktop is gone
[19:32] <jussi01> armadill0: again, yes.
[19:32] <Dhraakellian> what do they do?
[19:32] <czarek> Dhraakellian: I always lost in Kubuntu settings... where I can check this?
[19:32] <jussi01> armadill0: what is going wrong with it?
[19:33] <armadill0> jussi01:  Skype produces no sound.
[19:33] <Dhraakellian> czarek: systemsettings > Look & Feel > Appearance, maybe?
[19:33] <Dhraakellian> I don't have gtk-qt installed at the moment
[19:33] <armadill0> jussi01:  Sound works with amarok, etc.
[19:33] <Dhraakellian> (fairly fresh install)
[19:33] <jussi01> armadill0: and youve set skype settings to the correct device?
[19:33] <dwidmann> Project-Emerald: hmm, maybe removing your conf for plasma would help ... I forget where it lives though
[19:33] <tdn> carpii, WTF?! You are kidding me? I have not rebooted yet. But if it cannot remember my settings between boots, I am not using it anymore.
[19:34] <Dhraakellian> what GTK theme does Kubuntu use by default?
[19:34] <armadill0> jussi01:  I've tried every listed device in skype.  I've also gone to kmix, opened every channel and unmuted everything.
[19:35] <jussi01> armadill0: curious....
[19:35] <dwidmann> whatever the (ugly) gtk default theme is, Dhraakellian
[19:35] <carpii> tdn, i wouldnt advise using it anyway. its a pofs
[19:35] <dwidmann> Though, I think it might be qtcurve in 9.04
[19:35] <Dhraakellian> dwidmann: hmm...
[19:35] <jussi01> armadill0: check you dont have pulseaudio installed - I had to remove it for some reason
[19:35] <armadill0> jussi01:  Very.  It seems like skype is broken for me every other release.  It works fine under 8.04
[19:35] <carpii> i went to the yahoo openhack day and kde 4 cut my productivity by about 90%
[19:35] <Dhraakellian> because the scrollbars almost look oxygen-shaped in firefox
[19:35] <czarek> Dhraakellian: first... I use hardy, second: I cant find any GTK settings in all Kubuntu system settings (I remember I saw it somewhere in the past)
[19:35] <armadill0> jussi01:  Let me check that...
[19:35] <carpii> constant crashing, retarded bugs and whats worse is that theyre mostly related to the stupid vista gui theyve ripped off
[19:36] <dwidmann> Dhraakellian: I've noticed things are less ugly on my 9.04, guess that's not a coincidence then
[19:36] <jussi01> armadill0: also, Ive had issues with skype not working when amarok/$other-audio-app is running.
[19:36] <tdn> carpii, pofs?
[19:37] <Dhraakellian> czarek: 8.04... hmm... kcontrol > Appearance (might be Look & Feel) > GTK Themes?
[19:37] <armadill0> jussi01:  Hmm, ok.  Good to know.
[19:37] <armadill0> jussi01:  Amarok is running now :)
[19:37] <carpii> piece of fkin sht
[19:37] <armadill0> jussi01:  Yeah no kidding... skype is making sound now.
[19:38] <tdn> How do I make the panel transperant?
[19:38] <bdizzle> hi, I remember on 8.04 with KDE3 there was an option to search for files, looked kinda like the find files box for windows
[19:38] <jussi01> armadill0: you uninstalled pulse? or quit amarok?
[19:38] <armadill0> jussi01:  Testcalling now...
[19:38] <bdizzle> anyone know where that went for KDE 4.2?
[19:38] <armadill0> jussi01:  Both
[19:38] <tdn> How do I make the window borders semi transperant?
[19:38] <Dhraakellian> I usually install gtk-chtheme for controlling GTK theming
[19:38] <jussi01> armadill0: :)
[19:38] <armadill0> jussi01:  Ok, it works.  Awesome.  jussi01, thank you very much.
[19:38]  * Dhraakellian has no idea what the windows find files box looks like
[19:38] <jussi01> armadill0: excellent :)
[19:39] <bdizzle> Dhraakellian: it was that option to be able to search files and folder by some search string with type of file, date modified, etc etc
[19:39] <czarek> Dhraakellian: I give up... nothing... I thing GTK settings was removed from kcontroll by something during many updates
[19:40] <dwidmann> bdizzle: Not sure if/where it is in the menu, but the app is called kfind
[19:41] <armadill0> jussi01:  Also, so anyone who is interested knows, I just tried skype with amarok, they work when both are running.  Thanks again.  :)
[19:41] <jussi01> armadill0: excellent
[19:41] <bdizzle> yeah, I just read
[19:42] <Dhraakellian> czarek: try gtk-chtheme?
[19:42] <bdizzle> okay, attempted apt-get install kfind, its already there
[19:42] <bdizzle> yet when I try to search for it, its not there
[19:43] <Dhraakellian> alt+F2 kfind?
[19:43] <bdizzle> oh, there it is
[19:43] <bdizzle> now how do I add this to the k-menu?
[19:43] <Dhraakellian> actually, krunner (the alt+F2 thing) should have some search stuff
[19:43]  * Dhraakellian rarely ever uses kmenu or kickoff
[19:45] <bdizzle> alright, how do I add something to the favorites menu of the k-menu from cli?
[19:45] <bdizzle> namely, add kfind from it
[19:45]  * Dhraakellian has no idea
[19:46] <Dhraakellian> I tend to just use krunner and type the first few characters of what I want (or even just a term related to what it is, sometimes)
[19:46] <bdizzle> krunner?
[19:46] <kyle_> are there any ISO buster type programs for kubuntu?
[19:47] <Dhraakellian> bdizzle: KDE4's alt+F2/run command program
[19:47] <bdizzle> ah, okay
[19:47] <bdizzle> I'll just have to remember that shortcut to get to it
[19:50] <czarek> Dhraakellian: I just now install gtk-chtheme, set GTK theme to another one and.. no changes in GTK apps look.. I thing there is something wrong in my Kubuntu at all
[19:51] <Dhraakellian> dunno, then
[19:55] <tomsdale> Hi, is anyone using digikam on jaunty? I opened it up gave it a folder with some images but it doesnt display anything
[19:58] <astromme> tomsdale: not on jaunty, but I am using kde4 digikam
[19:59] <astromme> are you looking at the folders on the left hand side?
[19:59] <astromme>  erm, the correct folder?
[19:59] <tomsdale> astromme: yes, I have several folders with screenshots on the left - I'm testing the software for a friend.
[20:00] <tomsdale> If I select tools - creat thumbnails I see the images briefly when they get processez but the main panel is always empty
[20:00] <tdn> In Kubuntu 9.04. How do I get the sound volume icon in the lower right corner?
[20:01] <astromme> tomsdale: well, let me install it on my Jaunty machine. Just the DigiKam package?
[20:02] <tomsdale> astromme: I installed digikam (90 MB I think) and digikam-doc (60MB)
[20:02] <tomsdale> astromme: Thanks very much - I appreciate this really.
[20:02] <fale> will we see Amarok 2.1b1 in the Kubuntu Updates PPA soon?
[20:03] <tomsdale> fale - check in #amarok.neon - I think they have a nightly build available for jaunty
[20:03] <astromme> tdn: run kmix? (alt-f2 then type kmix)
[20:04] <fale> tomsdale: yes, there is also in kubuntu-experimental and kubuntu-unstable, but I was asking about kubuntu-updates ;)
[20:05] <tomsdale> fale: sorry - I don't know what's planned there ...
[20:05] <fale> ;) thank oyu
[20:05] <astromme> fale: I don't think Kubuntu Updates is a ppa?
[20:05] <astromme> I think it's just a normal repository?
[20:05] <astromme> that one?
[20:06] <tomsdale> astromme: I think I found a problem - It doesn't seem to be updating my metatags - I tried sync all images metadata and it just hangs.
[20:06] <tdn> astromme, thanks
[20:06] <fale> astrobear: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa ;)
[20:07] <astromme> Watch out fale, you'll wake the sleeping beast :P
[20:07] <tdn> How do I make the window borders semi transparent?
[20:07] <tdn> How do I make the panel transperant?
[20:07] <MushroomKingdom> Hey everyone! Does anyone know how to run a Java .class file in the console? Or to compile it into a nice little binary for the console to run?
[20:07] <astromme> tomsdale: lol I have no images on this machine.. hmm
[20:07]  * fale is sorry, but Tab didn't work correctly
[20:07] <tdn> MushroomKingdom, java <classfile>
[20:08] <MushroomKingdom> Yes, I tried that but I get an error :(
[20:08] <carpii> well provide some details then
[20:08] <tomsdale> tdn check out the theme glassified on kde-look.org for glassy panels. Regarding window borders it's a little harder - I haven'T found a suitable solution so far.
[20:08] <carpii> was anyone at the Yahoo open hack weekend ?
[20:08] <astromme> tdn: for the first, argb window decorations is needed, I think that's in trunk (i.e. 4.3) but not in kubuntu
[20:08] <MushroomKingdom> Lots of error
[20:09] <astromme> tdn: As for the panels, if you have compositing the panel will be transparent
[20:09] <carpii> Mushroom, its probablky an exception giving you a stack trace. You need to work back from the innermost call and see whats causing it
[20:09] <tomsdale> astromme: hm - I just gave it some screenshots - Im not really a fotographer.
[20:10] <tdn> astromme, tomsdale: in KDE3.5 I could just set it to transparent under Settings? Do I really need to install third party themes to do this?
[20:10] <astromme> tdn: For the panel, no, it is included. KWin supports composite you just need the correct video drivers
[20:10] <astromme> tdn: For the window decorations you need argb support which is not there yet
[20:10] <carpii> tdn, by compositing, he means 'desktop effects' (or compiz as its called)
[20:11] <carpii> check in appearance or desktop settings
[20:11] <MushroomKingdom> tdn: Try right clicking the top of the window and go advanced, special window properties, preferences, active window opacity?
[20:11] <astromme> well, compiz is a composite manager. KWin is as well
[20:11] <tomsdale> There is a setting for the window borders in system settings, desktop - all effects - translusency - Decorations
[20:11] <tdn> MushroomKingdom, I dont what the whole window to be transparent.
[20:11] <astromme> tomsdale: that's what I'm doing now... they're showing up correctly?
[20:12] <tdn> carpii, ok. So how do I check if I can get desktop effects? I have an nVidia quattro graphics card.
[20:12] <tomsdale> no - nothing shows up as well. I think Ill start from scratch with just 1 image - maybe one is corrupted.
[20:12] <astromme> tdn: Right click any window border, hit configure
[20:12] <carpii> well, its like i just said. check system settings and then either appearance or desktop. i dont recall which it is
[20:12] <astromme> tomsdale You need the "Enable Desktop Effects" to be checked
[20:13] <astromme> tomsdale: Then, I find the best way to check is to move a window. I think the transparant while moving should be auto-enabled
[20:13] <tomsdale> astromme: I think tdn was asking for the windows :-)
[20:14] <astromme> tomsdale: if you don't get that, then you should go to the Hardware Drivers (search for it in the k menu) and install the drivers
[20:14] <astromme> tomsdale: whoops, confusing :)
[20:14] <astromme> tdn: See my last 4 lines
[20:14] <tomsdale> hehe -  I'm digikam guy :-)
[20:14] <astromme> tomsdale: yes. So I have a working digikam with jaunty on my laptop. What are the symptoms again?
[20:15] <tomsdale> no images at all in the main panel although I selected a folder with images.
[20:15] <astromme> tomsdale: so on the left you se "My Albums" and then a folder with images (that you have verified are there via the filesystem)?
[20:15] <tdn> astromme, well desktop effects is enabled, it seems. But I cannot see anything about transparency.
[20:16] <tomsdale> yes - I can see previews in dolphin
[20:16] <astromme> tdn: It's a little confusing in 4.2. The checked box can be there but if kwin detects a problem it will revert back to no desktop effects (and leave it checked)
[20:16] <tomsdale> does it work on your system.
[20:16] <astromme> tomsdale: with the 4 snaps I just took, yes. Can you send/link one of the bad photos?
[20:16] <tdn> astromme, then how do I check if it is really enabled?
[20:16] <tomsdale> astromme: don't worry for now - must be one of my images then corrupt. Let me start over with a fresh folder.
[20:16] <astromme> tdn: The best I can suggest is moving a window and seeing if you get transparancy
[20:17] <astromme> tdn: if not, go to your main menu and search for "hardware drivers" and use that program to install the drivers
[20:17] <astromme> tomsdale: try taking some snapshots with ksnapshot, see if those show up. THat's what I did
[20:18] <hyper_ch> anyone knows where to get nice kubuntu stickers?
[20:18] <carpii> :/
[20:18] <millun> unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/odbc/psqlodbcw.so' : file not found
[20:18] <carpii> draw your own in gimp
[20:19] <tomsdale> astromme: something is not working right on my system. I have 1 folder with 1 image and it doesn't show up.
[20:20] <tomsdale> hyper_ch: I don't know about kubuntu sticker but I bought some ubuntu stickers on metal background the other day.
[20:20] <astromme> tomsdale: That's very odd. And it's a subfolder of the main picture folder?
[20:20] <hyper_ch> tomsdale: where?
[20:21] <astromme> tdn: Did that help?
[20:21] <tomsdale> hyper_ch: http://www.zareason.com/shop/product.php?productid=16197&cat=0&page=1
[20:21] <hyper_ch> tomsdale: thx
[20:22] <tdn> astromme, I checked a few effects and clicked Apply but I still see them working.
[20:22] <tomsdale> tomsdale: I'D love to have some kubuntu stickers or a KDE one as well but thats the only I found. I thinks system76 has some free stickers but these are better quality
[20:22] <astromme> tdn: You do see them working?
[20:22] <tdn> astromme, no.
[20:22] <astromme> tdn: Then you need the drivers
[20:22] <tdn> astromme, I still do not know how to make the Panel transparent.
[20:23] <pope> ?
[20:23] <tdn> astromme, I have already enabled the proprietary drivers under Hardware.
[20:23] <tomsdale> astromme: does tools - syncronize all images with the database work? it hangs on my installation.
[20:23] <astromme> tdn: you definitely need to log out and in, and probably restart your whole computer
[20:23] <astromme> tdn: (well, unload/reload a kernel module and then restart X if you know how)
[20:23] <tdn> astromme, 3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for NVIDIA cards. <- This is the one I use.
[20:24] <tdn> astromme, ok. Will reboot.
[20:24] <astromme> tomsdale: yeah, works in a few seconds
[20:24] <millun> unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/odbc/psqlodbcw.so' : file not found ; the file is there, though :)
[20:24] <astromme> tomsdale: did you install the package in any weird way, such as specifically blocking dependencies?
[20:24] <astromme> millun: no idea man
[20:24] <tomsdale> nope - sudo apt-get and I accepted all changes.
[20:24] <millun> ok
[20:25] <tomsdale> astromme: I had kubuntu since alpha 5 though - but usually this shoudn't make a difference.
[20:25] <tomsdale> astromme: ah well - I'll give it later a try again. digikam looks great though from what I can see - do you use it regularily?
[20:26] <astromme> tomsdale: semi-regularly
[20:26] <astromme> tomsdale: Yes, I agree, it is some really great software
[20:26] <astromme> and it lets you manage your images how you want
[20:26] <astromme> either automatically through the software or manually with files/folders
[20:26] <tomsdale> I'm looking into it for a friend who is new to linux and is looking for something to catalogue her images - so I stumbled on digikam.
[20:27] <tomsdale> astromme: If you already have hundrets of images in folder, I guess all you would have to do is let digikam catalog them and start tagging them.
[20:27] <astromme> It's definitely full featured which might be a little scary for someone not in to exploring things
[20:27] <tomsdale> s/folder/folders
[20:27] <astromme> tomsdale: yep
[20:27] <maco> astromme: how's it compare to f-spot?
[20:28] <tomsdale> I guess better than a webbased solution - I was looking into montana before which is imagemagick and php on a server.
[20:28] <astromme> tomsdale: for years I managed my collection with year/album/subalbum and digikam works just fine with it
[20:28] <pope> can i ask you something ?
[20:28] <astromme> maco: I only used f-spot for a short while while I was still on gnome. I like digikam better, but that was because I kept having weird bugs with f-spot I think
[20:28] <pope> ???
[20:28] <astromme> pope: on irc just ask. We don't need the first question
[20:29] <pope> i have radeon 9200 graphis
[20:29] <pope> and
[20:29] <pope> i can put in my linux
[20:29] <pope> cant *
[20:29] <astromme> pope: one line please. Compose your entire message then send it
[20:30] <astromme> and if the above was your question, I don't understand?
[20:31] <pope> i cant display my graphis card
[20:31] <pope> do you understand me ?
[20:32] <astromme> I'm still confused. You have no gui display? You don't have 3d/direct rendering working? something else?
[20:32] <pope> :S
[20:32] <pope> i cant add my graphis to work in my linux
[20:33] <pope> i dont speack english werry werry ... sorry
[20:33] <pope> now you understand ?
[20:34] <ikonia> pope: what is your native language
[20:34] <carpii> what problem are you having with your graphics ?
[20:34] <pope> i cant PUT to work
[20:34] <pope> :D
[20:34] <pope> its not work in linux
[20:35] <ikonia> pope: what language do you speak
[20:35] <carpii> pope, its hard to help when we dont know whats wrong
[20:35] <pope> i'm from macedonia
[20:36] <pope> serbian
[20:38] <mmo|> Anyone know how to make keyboard shortcuts to ie. konsole work in kubuntu 9.04?
[20:39] <carpii> pope, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[20:39] <carpii> mmo, which shortcuts ?
[20:41] <ubuntu_> how can I fsck my root partition from the install CD?
[20:41] <ikonia> ubuntu_: boot the livecd, and fsck /dev/$device where $device is your root partition
[20:42] <ign0ramus> is there a way i can create a 'macro' in which using the prntscrn function will save a .png to my Desktop?
[20:42] <ubuntu_> ikonia: thankyouverymuch
[20:43] <ign0ramus> I'm currently using Ksnapshot
[20:43] <mmo|> carpii: the global shortcuts! For instance my shortcut to konsole is set to ctrl-alt-t in system settings...but NOTHING happens when I press than combo!
[20:43] <adasz> i have an problem in kopete, when i drop an metauser into a group and restart kopete the users are not in there groups
[20:43] <ubuntu_> ign0ramus: you sould be albe to make a shortcut that would call on ksnapshot - but it will be more than one keystroke
[20:44] <ign0ramus> ubuntu_, i already have done that, but found i'm only using ksnapshot to save the screenshot to my desktop for editing... i want to integrate that step, and global shortcuts can't handle that
[20:45] <ubuntu_> ign0ramus: I'm not sure then. Have you tried to set up a shortcut key just inside of ksnapshot?
[20:46] <ign0ramus> ubuntu_, i wouldn't really have to, as saving the file to my desktop is pretty much hitting "enter" "enter" and I'm done, but if there's a way to automate the process, it would make things much easier
[20:47] <ubuntu_> what exactly is an inode?
[20:47] <carpii> its like a directory entry which linux (ext3?) uses to organise its filesystem
[20:47] <ikonia> ubuntu_: a file pointer, bit offtopic for here, but well documented in the file system info on tldp.org
[20:47] <ign0ramus> ubuntu_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode
[20:47] <carpii> uh, directory not as a file directory, but as a data directory
[20:49] <ubuntu_> thanks, i was tring to avoid opening a browser while running on the livecd
[20:49] <ubuntu_> ok, fsck is finally done (6,000 "yes" later)
[20:49] <ubuntu_> I'm going to reboot, thanks guys
[20:51] <afeijo> I'm having problems to install java, any hint about it?
[20:56] <ign0ramus> afeijo, it should be included in kubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:57] <afeijo> ign0ramus: how can I enabled that?
[20:57] <ign0ramus> does anyone know of a CLI-based screenshot tool i can use in Jaunty?
[20:57] <ign0ramus> afeijo, did you install the package?
[20:57] <afeijo> oh is a package, I will
[21:07] <realmatt> I've installed grub2 and don't know how to go about configuring it.  I was told that I might be able to use it to boot from my eSATA drive even though the bios didn't have a setting for it.  Can someone point me in the right direction.  I am having a hard time finding any documentation about it.
[21:08] <Luija> ei guys, for what is kdewallet?
[21:08] <carpii> it stores remembered passwords
[21:08] <carpii> like a keyring, or whatever
[21:09] <Luija> oh i see, thats why everytime after i log in, it have to give my password to kdewallet, and after that i can connect to wifi?
[21:09] <carpii> well after that, any app can query kdewallet
[21:09] <carpii> so its probably not related to wifi, just wifi is the first one that tries to use the wallet
[21:09] <Luija> oh ok, thx :)
[21:09] <carpii> np
[21:11] <mmo|> Anyone know how to make keyboard shortcuts to ie. konsole work in kubuntu 9.04? <--- posted this before...anyone?
[21:11] <mmo|> I'm talking about the global shortcuts...
[21:14] <nowth> hi... I have a non-kubuntu-specific problem but #ubuntu is pretty crowded.
[21:16] <kaddi> mmo| you can set a shortcut for konsole in the systemsettings: input actions ->example -> select start konsole activate it and choose a shortcut
[21:16] <mudge> hey kubuntoers
[21:16] <nowth> Suspend-to-ram was working great on 9.04 until yesterday. It still resumes, except the TTYs remain "dark". I can type, X comes back up if I start it (or if it's running already) - but TTY1-6 are "blind"
[21:16] <mudge> so you guys like KDE more than GNOME?
[21:16] <mudge> is that the deal?
[21:17] <nowth> And that wasn't happening before.
[21:17] <mmo|> kaddi: THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[21:17] <mmo|> kaddi: Damn that has been annoying not having it...this seems to work perfectly!
[21:18] <kaddi> you're welcome :)
[21:18] <nowth> I've tried pm-suspend, and /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force, and s2ram --force with various --vbe_ args, and something long and convoluted involving dbus and HAL that I found on ubuntuforums
[21:18] <nowth> er... never mind
[21:20] <nowth> I know I didn't screw with the BIOS setup, change kernel parameters, or change the hardware
[21:25] <afeijo> wth... if I click konsole on kde menu, it wont open.  But if I do it in a konsole window, it does!

[21:34] <Xanthomryr> ups
[21:36] <SanityInAnarchy> Kopete is segfaulting, but not triggering the crash handler. Is there a way I can force this issue, or another way to get the trace?
[21:36] <helder> Alguem tc
[21:37] <helder> oi
[21:37] <helder> Alguem quer tc
[21:38] <kupopo> Has anyone else had the problem that active desktop borders doesn't seem to work on the bottom border in KDE4?
[21:55] <nowth_> test
[22:00] <gerhard> Hi :-) I have a small problem with my new installation. When booting up, my USB keyboard works fine, but when KDE is started, I can't type in anything. When I unplug it and plug it again, it works. dmesg contains no errors ...
[22:00] <rizvan> help.. undelete my files
[22:01] <rizvan> how to undelete my Documents folder
[22:01] <rizvan> please help
[22:03] <kaddi> rizvan how did you delete them?
[22:03] <rizvan> rm -rf
[22:03] <kaddi> you're screwed. Don't think there is much you can do
[22:03] <kaddi> do you have a backup?
[22:03] <rizvan> nope
[22:03] <kaddi> not good
[22:03] <rizvan> aren't there any "Undelete" utilities
[22:05] <kaddi> what format does your home-drive have?
[22:05] <rizvan> ext4
[22:06] <kaddi> no idea, maybe google will know. you should turn off that hard-drive or mount it read-only in order to not overwrite your files
[22:07] <rizvan> ok thanks kaddi
[22:08] <kaddi> maybe have a look here:http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ext4Undelete
[22:09] <kaddi> and here (though it's really ext3): http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html
[22:09] <rizvan> thanks for the links
[22:09] <Turtl3Pi3> what is the best computer certification to begin with?
[22:11] <rizvan> kaddi apt-get install e2undel
[22:12] <DarkriftX> i installed tightvncserver because i wanted to be able to remotely connect to my current session, but when I run it i get a new session. anyone know what i can do to vnc into an active session?
[22:12] <rizvan> there are 2 packages for undelete/recovery, e2undel and recover in repo
[22:15] <kaddi> e2 suggests that it is for ext2, rizvan, I would investigate if it is safe to use it with ext4 before running it.
[22:16] <mnd999> Hi all, got a question. How do you stop kubunto turing the monitor off? its really annoying during movies
[22:17] <rizvan> mnd999, use smplayer it will stop monitor switch off
[22:17] <DarkriftX> wooooot
[22:17] <curiouscuz> change your power settings mnd999
[22:17] <kaddi> mnd999: systemsettings->advanced->powermanagement->edit profiles to change your settings for the monitor
[22:18] <kaddi> then make sure your using the profile you edited in general settings
[22:18] <kaddi> ;)
[22:18] <mnd999> yeah that doesnt work
[22:20] <mnd999> oh hold on havent tried that
[22:20] <mnd999> how come there are so many different settings for this?
[22:21] <mnd999> most of which dont work
[22:21] <mnd999> i guess nobody has the answer to that
[22:21] <mnd999> ill give this a try - hopefully it will work
[22:21] <mnd999> thanks for the advice
[22:22] <ignacio> wenas una consulta!
[22:27] <tdn> How do I specify a different wallpaper on each virtual desktop?
[22:31] <tdn> Why can't I use ½ as a short cut for yakuake?
[22:33] <pm2> Hi - I'm on Kubuntu 9.04.  I recently bought a USB DVD drive, which forums say is compatible with Linux.  When I put a DVD in it, I get a pop-up saying that the DVD is in, and I choose to play it using Dragon Player.  However, when I hit play, the hard drive light comes on, and the computer freezes, though I can hear the HDD working and the DVD drive spinning up.
[22:33] <pm2> Any advice on how to fix this?
[22:34] <curiouscuz> pm2 did u try a different video player?
[22:34] <pm2> curiouscuz: yes - kmplayer and VLC
[22:35] <curiouscuz> do they also result in the same way?
[22:35] <pm2> yep
[22:35] <curiouscuz> hmmm... and I suppose you have already tried different DVDs.
[22:36] <LuisJa> ei guys, i have downloaded a pogram than comes in a rar file, with what i open it so i can install it with wine?
[22:36] <curiouscuz> it could be an issue with the drivers
[22:36] <carlos__> hi
[22:36] <curiouscuz> LuisJa, you may try ark or rar
[22:36] <pm2> curiouscuz: I tried different DVDs, different USB ports...
[22:37] <curiouscuz> pm2 can you browse to the DVD mount location
[22:38] <pm2> curiouscuz: yes
[22:39] <curiouscuz> pm2, either the drivers, or perhaps the codecs that might be needed are missing...
[22:40] <curiouscuz> one other issue might be that generic drivers may be over stepping on each other
[22:40] <wizardslovak> is there any good software to edit pictures??
[22:40] <wizardslovak> like photoshop
[22:40] <pm2> curiouscuz: how might I go about fixing that
[22:40] <Jarvellis> wizardslovak: tried gimp?
[22:41] <gleison> hail
[22:41] <wizardslovak> no
[22:41] <wizardslovak> let me try it
[22:41] <Jarvellis> It's turing complete :-)
[22:41] <LuisJa> curiouscuz: thx bo
[22:41] <LuisJa> bro*
[22:42] <curiouscuz> pm2: this would be different for different devices.... however, you may want to start by searching ubuntu forums
[22:42] <astrobear> i'm really not a beast once you get to know me
[22:43] <pm2> curiouscuz: ok thanks
[22:50] <eukaryote> Any idea why gvim under jaunty+KDE4.2 uses a less than useful file selector that hides dotfiles?

[22:57] <tr_hawk> cheers!
[22:58] <tomsdale> eukaryote: is there maybe a kvim - just guessing.

[23:00] <eukaryote> tomsdale: Nice idea, but there's nothing I can find
[23:00] <LuisJa> everything is alright except when the notebook is goin to finally goin to shutdown
[23:01] <LuisJa> i have to move the mouse a little, after that appears a code in konsole saying than there is something missing, after that the notebook shut down
[23:01] <LuisJa> the problem is than i have to move the mouse to the notebook to shutdown, i dont know why that happens
[23:02] <LuisJa> solution to that?
[23:02] <tomsdale> eukaryote: under gnome in nautilus ctrl+h should toggle betwen show/hide hidden files

[23:05] <LuisJa> ei guys i have one problems when u turn off the notebook
[23:05] <LuisJa> everything is alright except when the notebook is goin to finally goin to shutdown

[23:06] <LuisJa> there is a fix to that
[23:06] <LuisJa> ?

[23:29] <Dnikrednuw> how do i get konversation to automatically enter the password for my irc username?
[23:30] <blizzz> Wunderkind: edit you identity (F8), type in "nickserv" as service and your passwort

[23:32] <kaddi> I just assumed ;)
[23:32] <Dnikrednuw> is it possible that my password might be too long...
[23:32] <Dnikrednuw> it's pretty long
[23:32] <Dnikrednuw> and it doesn't appear to want to take it all...
[23:33] <kaddi> i don't know. I only know it doesn't work on quakenet, because the command used is identify, while quake is expecting auth
[23:34] <Guest94843> hola

[23:36] <desu> my wget weirdly separates bytes with ',' after two digits (like, 1,23,45,67,890 bytes etc.). how do i modify this behaviour to, say, three digits instead (like 1,234,567,890)?
[23:38] <neztop> hi, do somebody know how to set up my dell 1501 modem?????
[23:39] <kaddi> dnikrednuw (that nick is driving me insane ;) ) I don't think you can identify with the usual "auto identify" but i think you could just enter your identifying command "commands" when you set up your server
[23:40] <kaddi> your identity in the "command"-box, you find it when you hit "edit"- on your server settings underneath "network name" and "identiy"

[23:53] <kaddi> hi, is there a way for the devicenotifierwidget to open dolphin in front, when i click a removable device instead of in the background
[23:55] <Sonnentae> Hi, I have just had my machine fill up it's hard disk and lock up. I then deleted some media files to free space and now it's forgotten my location and other things. Any idea how to restore to normal working order?
[23:55] <Sonnentae> even system monitor won't work now, it's weird
