[00:35] kubu: go to view, select software sources, select edit software sources, select third party and check the following two lines: [00:36] <_zero> so, nobody knows anything about system tray not showing correct icons? [00:36] sry, the following line: http://archive canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner [00:36] _zero did you try and install kde 4.3? [00:37] (not suggesting you should, but wondering if that's your issue) [00:37] <_zero> Barridus: No, no, 4.2 here [00:37] kubu: close that window and press "fetch current package lists" afterwards you should be able to find adobe reader by searching for acroread [00:38] _zero: hum, i got that problem earlier, but it just fixed by itself [00:38] _zero: you've made all updates ? [00:38] <_zero> phh: ah, well... mine isn't :) [00:38] <_zero> phh: not sure... I understand that 4.2.3 is still on ppa, right?

[01:06] ryann: what do you mean you cant get it working? [01:07] what happens? [01:07] well, the interface is detected [01:07] and is working with the b43 drivers [01:07] i have verified this with airodump [01:08] also, kde-network-manager lists aps [01:08] upon selecting any, i am prompted to authenticate [01:08] yet it never properly authenticates [01:08] just loops asking me for the wpa-psk [01:08] is there actually wpa? [01:08] yes [01:09] mine here is wpa-psk [01:09] using AES [01:09] it had worked just prior to upgrading the distribution [01:10] ah [01:10] i had a similar issue in ubuntus manager.. [01:10] but there was no wep. [01:10] i've even displaced my .kde directory and tried a new session [01:10] hoping it was perhaps a config or kwallet issue [01:11] wow, I'd just like to complain about the installer installing grub on a hard drive other than the one I installed on [01:11] I knew I should have unplugged my other drives first, but I really didn't think it would do something like that. lame, lame, lame [01:12] occupant, the kubuntu install wrote grub to the mbr of more than one physical disk? [01:12] occupant: before you decided to complain are you sure that you didnt select something wrong by accident? [01:12] occupant: have you filed a bug report? [01:14] installed on the mbr of my hackintosh drive, no grub on the ubuntu drive. I admittedly did easy settings and just specified drive [01:14] should I have done 'specify partitions' to set what happens with grub/mbr? [01:15] i would have just to check and see [01:15] but thats because i am overly cautious [01:17] Hi all! [01:19] also..

[05:37] draik: Apparently not by default. http://irssi.org/documentation/startup#c8 [05:39] genii: Thanks. So it seems that all which I was saying before is lost. Oh well. [05:39] draik: If it was in a channel which is logged, check the logs [05:39] genii: mostly PM [05:40] Ah, too bad. [05:41] hi [05:41] Yeah. Live and learn, right?

[05:47] jerware: I'm going to start doing the same thing and I don't know anything just yet about programming in Java, but I think you do. [05:47] talaman: If the servicename exists in /etc/init.d directory, you can in Konsole: sudo /etc/init.d/service-name restart [05:47] talaman: What service? The command is typically 'sudo /etc/init.d/SERVICE restart' without the quotes and SERVICE being the service to restart. [05:48] service/daemon [05:48] in the previous version i could go in and say restart smb...now i can't find it [05:48] anyone here familiar with kdevelop at all? [05:49] talaman: samba (if it is installed) is in there [05:49] genii, samba was an example [05:49] talaman: What's the service/daemon?

[05:52] talaman: New KDE is KDE4.2 [05:52] talaman: Different versions of Kubuntu use different KDE versions [05:52] talaman: genii is using KDE3, not KDE4.2 [05:53] yes, it would seem i upgraded and something got moved [05:53] yeah, i think i'm missing system services [05:54] i got a service manager, but it down't have any outside of kde [05:55] talaman: Personally, nothing will ever beat CLI when it comes to true system management. That's my personal opinion, of course. [05:56] well with ubuntu you're probably right... or at least it's a one or the other [05:57] Ubuntu uses GNOME, Kubuntu uses KDE. CLI is Terminal for Ubuntu and Konsole for Kubuntu. [05:57] i.e. if you are using cli don't expect it to translate to the gui and if you're using the gui don't expect it to translate to the cli [05:57] ubuntu, kubuntu, any buntu [05:57] all has the same issue [05:57] bbl [05:58] going to try a different version to see if i can get my services back under control [05:58] dang wish pclinuxos would work on the hd [05:59] that was truely the best linux [05:59] I don't see how a KDE-related issue is related to the GNOME GUI [05:59] * genii shrugs [05:59] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmN0mFHDH2w [06:00] !ot [06:00] woofers, good [06:00] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions.

[09:31] joshua__: I didn't say that [09:31] hjb: subscribe to the bug and you will get notifyed [09:31] hjb: but you can find a lot of help online :) [09:31] Mamarok: ok, thanks [09:32] Mamarok: yeah, but i'm setting up this machine for my father [09:32] Mamarok: i think he would expext that working [09:32] hjb: then you will have to do the help I am afraid, at least for now [09:34] hjb: maybe get him a bookmark to online help? [09:35] and remind him that help not working is a lesser evil than needing for example an antivirus that eats resources [09:36] aftertaf: he was on linux before, but on suse 8 ;) [09:36] nice :) [09:37] hjb: then if he already knows how to use kmail he will find his way around, the apps are the same [09:37] surprising, in itself, but I stand happily corrected; [09:37] Mamarok: kmail hasn't changed? nice to know, as i'm not using it personally [09:37] aftertaf: if he uses Kmail then its kmail, regardless the deistribution [09:38] true... [09:38] hjb: well, the version is much newer, as Suse 8 ewas still running KDE 3.5 IIRC [09:38] just kde4 is different :) [09:38] there is bags of online help if he needs it; [09:38] and 9.04 uses KDE 4, but Kmail has gone better since, with a lot of bugfixes [09:39] aftertaf: but still better then convert him to gnome when he was used to kde3 before, i hope [09:39] yep [09:39] 4.1 was tough, now we're lokking goood [09:40] aftertaf: i'm personally not using kde at all, but right now, what i have seen so far looks nice :) [09:40] is kde 4.3 available anywhere, apart from project neon? [09:40] is IS... [09:40] it. [09:40] aftertaf: wait to see 4.3, it's gorgeous :) [09:40] aftertaf: yes, but only for experienced user, as there are dependency problems still with the packages [09:40] i have it from neon on my home PC... [09:40] --force-overwrite is my second nature :) [09:41] aftertaf: it's in the experimental repos [09:41] coooool [09:41] * aftertaf opens yakuake [09:41] you have to open it? Doesn't it run in the background for you? ;) [09:42] F12 :) [09:42] aftertaf: don't know if it's in 4.3 yet though... [09:43] deb http:// is ppa kubuntu experimental? [09:43] cant find 4.3 :( [09:44] what sources.list do i need to add?

[09:45] didnt find earlier [09:46] found :) [09:46] aftertaf: found the repo? [09:46] no, the hide :) [09:46] what i find is that this system is damn slow when doing a lot of disk i/o [09:46] anything to tune that? [09:46] sata?

[09:53] Mamarok: no [09:53] hjb: might be tricky to do if swap is between / and /home [09:54] Mamarok: no problem, i can shrink / [09:54] there's space left [09:55] hjb: good [09:55] double swap than ram is a rule here since ages :) [09:55] I have 4 GB RAM and 8 GB swap, but swap is very rarely used [09:55] but before with 2 GB on the other PC it was [09:58] upgrading :) [09:59] hope the network manager wifi works better :) [10:02] just got one question if someone know tis message that a get every time am trying to install anything...E: Type "http://blueeyedcreature.net/ubuntu" is not nown on line 54 in the list of sources /etc/apt/sources.list [10:02] E: The list of sources coud not be shown [10:03] semcis: there's a typo in your sources list [10:04] or the serever you try to get packages from is down [10:05] ok....but....there is always a but, iam trying to get wine, that schoudent be any problem..? or not!..
