ubottuPackage krec does not exist in jaunty00:03
skaftichaos2fu still there00:04

RProgrammerWhen people say "go to System -> Preferences", where do I go, since I have KDE?00:05
_nix_RProgrammer: I think KMenu > Computer > System Settings00:06
skaftidoes someone have a sound problem with browsers ?00:08
RProgrammerWow, I tried that, but there's so few preferences I thought I was missing something..00:08
RProgrammerThanks00:08
_nix_RProgrammer: there is the Advanced tab.00:08
RProgrammerYeah, the thing I'm looking for still isn't there00:09
kaddiwhat are you looking for?00:10
RProgrammerEnable/DIsable Tap00:10
RProgrammer*Disable00:10
skaftiis there no genius who knows how to solve soundproblems with browsers exp. listening to youtube00:10
RProgrammerskafti: Maybe it's a flash problem00:10
skaftiboth konqueror and mozzilla00:10
kaddiskafti have a look at your kmix settings, I've seen some cases where the sound simply was muted00:11
RProgrammerskafti: Try the flash configuration tool, see if it can get access to the speakers00:11
skaftilooked at the kmix yes00:12
skaftiwere is this flash config tool00:12
RProgrammerSearch google, it's actually on adobe's website00:12
RProgrammerRather than on your local machine00:13
_nix_skafti: right click on the flash applet and click settings.00:13
kaddiPProgrammer: you are talking about disabling part of the touchpad? is it a synaptics?00:13
RProgrammerPkaddi: It's a MacBook00:13
RProgrammerI looked in xorg.conf, but there's no "InputDevice" section00:14
_nix_RProgrammer: synaptics is the name of the touchpad thingy. TMI xD00:14
kaddiRProgrammer have a look at this thread: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=310121300:14
kaddiRProgrammer also there is a configtool called gsynaptics if your trackpad is from synaptics00:16
RProgrammerI thought Synaptics was a company00:17
RProgrammerBut people use it as a synonym for 'touchpad'; do things like gSynaptics work for non-Synaptics(R) touchpads?00:18
RProgrammerOk, I tried a fix in the forum; is there a way to reload a portion of X, or do I need to reboot to see if it worked?00:21
_nix_RProgrammer: try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart X alone00:22
kaddiRProgrammer you can kill the X-server without restarting, if you lock out and select it from the drop down menu00:22
kaddiCtrl-Alt-Backspace is deactivated by default in Jaunty if I recall correctly00:22
RProgrammerYeah, that's not working00:22
RProgrammerOk, I've got a couple of things to do anyway, so I'll just reboot00:23
RProgrammerThanks00:23
_nix_kaddi: oh darn! how do you reactivate it?00:23
kaddi!dontzap|_nix_00:24
ubottu_nix_: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect.00:24
kaddialthough I didn't recall dontzapt nor the other key combination in time for RProgrammer :p00:24
_nix_I like the latter method00:25
kaddiWhat I don't like about the latte method is, that all I can find is, that it has a "similar effect" I have no clue what that key combination really does00:27
_nix_it zaps everything that might be listening to the keyboard events00:28
kaddiso what is the difference? does it kill more processes than ctrl-alt-backspace?00:29
_nix_it was essentially designed to kill things like keyloggers00:30
kaddioh, i see :)00:30
_nix_So my best guess is anything hooked to /dev/console00:30
ibouhi00:30
_nix_fuser? anybody?00:30
kaddihi :)00:30
_nix_ibou: hi00:30
iboui dont have the sound when  i watch divx on kmplayer, although i have some on dragon player. Im on jaunty. I also dont have the sound on flash plugin. Can someone help me ?00:31

ActionParsnipyo yo yo00:38
harjotActionParsnip: That was random00:38
harjotok where was i???00:38
geniiharjot: It looks for intrepid repositories but you are running a different ubuntu version?00:39
ActionParsnipharjot: if you come in here enough, you'll see its really not00:39
harjotyes [thats really weird its looking for kubuntu 8.10 packages[intrpid]]00:39
ActionParsnipharjot:  genii knows what i mean ;)00:40
harjotActionParsnip: So I seee ur basically saying the party hasnt started yet, especillly 4 me00:40
harjotok where was i???00:40
ActionParsnipharjot: if you arent using intrepid you will need to update your sources to match your release00:40
harjotproblem:::::: im not using intrepid00:41
ActionParsnipharjot: no, just saying thats how I always enter every time i enter, and i'm fairly regualr00:41
ActionParsnipharjot: then you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all instances of intrepid with the release you are using00:41
littleharjot: Can you paste the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list into http://paste.ubuntu.com/00:42
geniiharjot: What does:  lsb_release -a                 tell is the version?00:42
harjotlook guys im running on windows [the worst os in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1] on my dual boot machine. i can access my etx3 drive from windoze so i can paste dpkg logs etc... but not much else00:42
harjotcause my keyboard aint working which is y i must upgrade those packages00:42
ActionParsnipharjot: then i would get wan access setup first then worry about update00:43
harjotfor kubuntu that is00:43
harjoti ve got all that00:43
ActionParsnipharjot: then you must fix the keyboard first00:43
harjoti cant withour updating00:43
harjoti can use tty but when in kdm i cant00:43
littleWill the keyboard work with the Live CD?00:43
harjotyes00:43
geniiharjot: With all that kind of messing around, you might be better off to just actually reinstall. And I do not usually recommend to reinstall00:43
harjotproblem v2. my wireless will not work with a live cd it requires special driverss00:44
harjotthe problem with a reinstall is:00:44
harjot1) I don't want to and i cant move my 20GB documents proplerly00:45
ActionParsnipharjot: i'd check keyoard settings in systemsettings00:45
adamHow can I configure wine?  What CLI is it?00:45

ActionParsnipadam: winecfg00:45

littleharjot: That's what we all think. (:00:46

ActionParsnipharjot: if you come here moaning you lost your data by accident or yor drive fails. I will show no pity00:47
harjoterrr... its more likely to fail in a pc[windoze] or a computer than in a laptop00:47
harjotthats fine [im professiomnal at recovery]00:47
littleadam: What kind of help do you need with wine?00:47
ActionParsnipharjot: hard drives fail like any other device, laptop, desktop or server, all drives fail00:47
harjotbtw i will backup soon after i fix my problemo00:47
ActionParsnipharjot: not if the motor fails and the drive doesnt spin up00:47
harjotok backup discussion over [how do u recover a failed hard drive00:48

littleharjot: Are you able to view the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list file?00:48

harjotit is my update problem becuase i updated my xorg but now everything else wibt update00:49
ActionParsnipharjot: to recover failed hdd you pay a professional company many hundreds of dolars, or you can pay 40 for a usb hdd and get a good backup00:49
littleharjot: You can paste them into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ if you can copy them.00:49

littleActionParsnip: But they do to Windows users, which is why I mentioned it. (:00:51
ActionParsnipharjot: thats fine, use   sudo nano     instead of    kdesudo kate00:51
ActionParsnipharjot: you can edit it at cli00:52
harjotbUT HJOW DO I COPY???00:52
harjotcant use program that is not installed00:52
littleharjot: How are you accessing Kubuntu from Windows?00:52
ActionParsnipharjot: copy what?00:52
harjoti can get to my ext3 drive yes00:52
littleharjot: Using Windows?00:53
ActionParsnipharjot: if you edit your sources file you can then upgrade and boot to uuntu00:53
harjotits called a 12 year old brain that hasnt malfunctioned00:53
harjotyes using windoze00:53
littleharjot: If you can browse to the /etc/apt/sources.list file, are you able to open it in a text editor and look at it?00:53
harjotlook if u want to access ur ext3 drive download diskinternals linux drive reader00:54
harjotyes i can00:54
littleharjot: Can you highlight the contents and copy them to the clipboard?00:54
harjotyes [which clipboaard?]00:54
ActionParsnipharjot: you dont access ext3 drives, you access ext3 partitions ;)00:54

ActionParsnipskafti: so do you mean sound in flash?00:55
skaftiyes00:56
harjotdudes how do i paste???00:56
littleharjot: Once you have it copied to the clipboard, open http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste the contents into the box. When you're finished, press the paste button at the bottom and it will give you a link you can give us.00:56
ActionParsnipskafti: you never said that. Let me websearch00:56
ActionParsnipskafti: 32bit or 64bit flash00:56
littleharjot: You can right-click in the box and select paste from the menu.00:56
ActionParsnipskafti: can you please provide the output of   uname -a00:57
ActionParsnip!paste | harjot00:57
ubottuharjot: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)00:57

harjotguys heres the pastbin01:00
harjothttp://paste.ubuntu.com/186127/01:00
harjotppls have you read the pastebin>?01:01
littleharjot: The last line of that file is the problem. It wants to use the intrepid repositories.01:02
littleharjot: I wouldn't edit the file with Windows, though.01:02
harjotso if i rid that all will be well????01:02
harjoti know01:02
harjothow would i edit it with tty????01:03
ActionParsnipharjot: ok so you have hardy installed?01:03
harjotyes01:03
littleharjot: Well, you've got to be able to access the file and edit it. You can do that using the Live CD if your keyboard will work.01:03
harjotoooooh... good idea01:03
harjotthanks if this works01:03
harjotthen i will get pastebinit01:03
harjotand irssi01:03
harjotand backup MY COMPUTER01:04
=== Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_
littleI'm not sure if the Live CD mounts all partitions on bootup, though. Does anyone know, or will harjot need to do something to access the partition?01:04
harjotNo, it does01:04
harjotive used live cd  to tryy and fix billions of times01:04
littleharjot: Good, then you can use kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list to open the file and just remove the very last line that mentions intrepid.01:05
harjotthanks for helping01:05
littleharjot: Also, a good idea would be to copy sources.list somewhere else as a backup just in case before you edit it. (:01:05
harjotcant i just use sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list????01:05
harjotoh its now on my windows partition01:05
ActionParsnipharjot: no, never sudo kate01:05
littleharjot: sudo is for non-graphical programs. kdesudo is for graphical programs.01:05
ActionParsnipharjot: kdesudo kate01:05
ActionParsnipharjot: sudo is for cli commands only01:06
harjotit doesnt matter sudo works 4 all01:06
harjotcause i never use kdesudo to lauch kate01:06
ActionParsnipharjot: yes it works but it will damage group iwnerships01:06
genii!kdesudo01:06
ubottuIn KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why01:06
littleharjot: There's a page that tells why it isn't a good idea. It can mess up an important system file and make the computer unbootable. (:01:06
* little nods at genii01:06
ActionParsnipand you wont have access to your own files eventually and you will need to chown / chmod01:06
harjotahh.. thanks so much!!!!01:06
geniiharjot: You should read that last link of the bots to know why not to use sudo for graphical apps01:06
ActionParsnipharjot: you can just avoid by using sudo /kdesudo correctly01:07
harjotok tyym bye01:08
ActionParsnipi hate the whole sudo <gui app> thing. really annoying :(01:08
littleharjot: After you edit the sources.list file, run sudo apt-get update01:08
littleAck!01:09
ign0ramushey all01:17
ign0ramusi've been using mencoder a lot for different tasks, and each command is very long, so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good gui/frontend for it for simple conversion tasks?01:17
littleignOramus: I use pdmenu for a few long commands: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/pdmenu/01:20
littleignOramus: You'll have to set it up, but once it's set up, it's just point and click to do any command you like, and it's all saved into one text file.01:21
ign0ramuslittle, checking it now.  thanks.01:22
littleignOramus: Let me know if you have any trouble with it. I have it set up nicely on my system and can help with the syntax.01:24
littleignOramus: I forgot to mention that it's lightning fast. (:01:25
ign0ramuslittle, will do.  it's "zero" in my nick... that's why I'm not getting notified when you type my nick :)01:25
nightdreverwhere and how do i install songbird?01:25
littleign0ramus: Sorry about that!01:26
ign0ramusnightdrever, www.songbirdnest.com01:26
ign0ramuslittle, np.  don't you use the autocomplete feature?01:26
littleign0ramus: OMG, I didn't know it could do that!01:27
nightdreverok i can download it but how do i install it01:27
nightdreverso its in my menu etc?01:27
ign0ramusnightdrever, you could start with the documentation, but i believe "cd"ing into the directory, "chmod"ing "songbird-bin" to executable, and then issuing "./songbird-bin" should work01:28
ign0ramusnightdrever, i haven't tried the latest versions, so it may be different now...01:29

harjoti did thatr01:58
harjotand then tryed upgrading my opackages01:58

harjoti cant01:58

harjotand i also tryed sudo apt-get upgrade01:59
harjotthen i tried aptitiuede01:59
harjoti edited the fil with nano [decent prgram!]02:00

harjotwhere do i get the info from????02:00
littleharjot: Glad you like it. That one's probably the easiest of the command line editors. (:02:00
harjotwhich file do i paste from???02:01
littleharjot: When you run the command, it will print some output in the terminal window. You can highlight all of that with the mouse and paste it into a text file.02:01
littleharjot: I'm not sure if you can do sudo apt-get update > filename.txt02:01
harjotproblem.. i  cant get past kdm therefore i cant copy and paste02:01
littleharjot: Maybe somebody here would know whether it will work with that command.02:02

harjotjust finding the right log jjst a sec...02:06
littleharjot: When you get the error, does it mention specific packages?02:07
harjotno all of them being held02:08
littleharjot: None of your packages updated?02:08
harjotnope02:08
harjotwont let me install either02:08
harjotsays dependies arent met02:09
littleharjot: What worries me is that since you had the intrepid line in your sources.list file, you may have actually gotten some intrepid packages, and those might be the problem now.02:09
harjoti hope not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!02:09
littleharjot: The output should list off all the files that are being held back. Each one will require a command to fix it. Are you sure it doesn't list them?02:10
littleharjot: You should see this line in the output of sudo apt-get update:               The following packages have unmet dependencies:02:10
littleharjot: Then under that line it should list off which packages are the problems. Once you have that list, we might be able to sort this out pretty easily. (:02:11
littleThe magic incantation for each package is: sudo apt-get -f install PACKAGENAME02:11
harjot????'02:12
littleharjot: And you would replace PACKAGENAME with the name of each package.02:12
harjotyes ok02:12

harjoti tried installing the dependencies02:12

harjot1 was too far uptodate02:12
lucio_im jus tying the koncersation02:13
harjotone was not matching corectly with the 1 it needed [wrong version???]02:13
littleharjot: That sounds to me like you have intrepid packages on your system, since those would be further along than the hardy ones.02:13
harjotouch....02:13
littleharjot: The -f in that command I gave you will try to fix it.02:13
harjotI DONT WANT INTREPID PACKAGES ON MY SYSTEM WAAAAAA........\\02:13
littleharjot: We can take care of it. It just might be a bit tricky of a surgery. (:02:14
harjot-f means force????02:15
littleharjot: Can you run sudo apt-get update again and see if there is a line that says, "The following packages have unmet dependencies:" and then see if it lists them off?02:15
lucio_sorry people, im looking for a client vpm for nortel contivit, i dont find it on google....02:15

harjotthe annoying thing is now i have to boot into kubuntu and then i have to boot back here if it dont work02:16

littleharjot: -f means fix.02:16
harjotahh.02:16
harjotbtw.... do u want the logfilees before i go???02:17

user010hi is anyone available? i need a little help03:29
p_quarlesuser010: just ask03:30
p_quarlesno one can answer until you do03:30
user010hehe i tried to ask a question03:30
user010um how do i compile03:31
user010i'm trying to run a .i38603:31
user010this is my first time with ubuntu03:31
p_quarlescompile what?03:31
user010a .i386 file03:31
p_quarlesthat's not a file type I'm aware of03:31

user010you know of urban terror?03:32
p_quarlesuser010: yes; and that's a binary, you don't need to compile it03:32
p_quarless/don't need to/cannot03:32
user010it says it needs something to install it with03:33
=== zach_ is now known as Guest35509
p_quarlesuser010: well, A) this isn't really a Kubuntu issue; B) that game comes with two binaries, one for people who have the Quake III engine already installed, and one with its own engine03:34
user010hmm03:34
p_quarlesuser010: I use the standalone one, ioUrbanTerror.i386, which works fine and is already compiled03:34
user010well when i try to run that file is tells me no application suitable for installation of this file is available03:36
user010something like that03:36
p_quarlesuser010: 1) make sure it03:37
p_quarles's executable, and 2) try running it from the command line03:37
user010i don't know how to do any of this03:38
user010this is my first time away from windows03:38
p_quarlesuser010: right click on the file in Dolphin, select "properties," go to the "permissions" tab and make sure "executable" is ticked03:39
user010pj pd o set allow?03:39
user010ah ok i found that hehe03:40
p_quarlesone you do that, you should be able to simply click on the file and it will run03:40
user010thank you03:40
p_quarlesI would ensure that compositing is turned off before you run it, though03:40
p_quarleskwin's compositing doesn't always mesh with 3D accelerated games03:40
user010i don't know how to do that either03:41
p_quarlesalt-shift-F12 to toggle it03:41
user010you know what i think it gave me ubuntu even tho the iso said kubuntu03:41
user010it's showing some gnome stuff03:41
p_quarlesthat seems unlikely, but in that case you would turn off "desktop effects" in the system menu03:42
p_quarlesgnome and kde can exist side by side; the real question for compositing is which window manager is running03:42
user010hmm how do i check version?03:42
transhi03:42
p_quarlesuser010: you're using pidgin to access this channel, looks like?03:43
user010yes03:43
user010so i have ubuntu right?03:43
Hrr1963cant believe i have to format the damn kubuntu. I mean, they release a new version and it got WORST, and the same cicle... another and another and another.03:43
p_quarlesuser010: then I'd guess you have Gnome; again, the programs coexist pretty completely03:44
user010below about gnome it says about ubuntu03:44
user010weird03:45
tomsdale_hm03:45
p_quarlesyeah, anyway you should be able to disable compositing by running metacity --replace; but I'm not really sure, and that's a better question for #ubuntu03:45
user010thanks quarles03:45

tomsdale_do I need a firefox plugin to play .ogg files.03:48
administradornow03:48
transi don't know if this is the right place to ask but i just installed kubuntu 9.04 fresh, i had 8.04 previously.  I have a program that reads the serial port but on 9.04 it no longer works.  it worked fine on 8.04, it's very simple using read() and select() on an open descriptor.  I am able to send data correctly using the same program with the same descriptor.  Using stty, the terminal settings appear to all be correct and i can acutally read p03:49
trans fine using cutecom (which i believe uses Qt to read the serial port).03:49
transi can't get why it would work for a Qt program and not good ol' read()03:53
tomsdale_Can anyone play .ogg files e.g. in wikipedia directly in their browser.03:53
p_quarlestomsdale_: I don't remember specifically, but I would imagine the VLC plugin would do that03:54
tomsdale_p_quarles: ah - good call. Let me check the repo. There is no addon at least on mozilla03:55
p_quarlestomsdale_: mozilla-plugin-vlc; it's in multiverse03:56
p_quarlesthe totem plugin should work as well03:56
tomsdale_p_quarles: is totem not for gnome only?03:57
p_quarlesit has GTK+ and Gnome depends, if that's what you mean; I ignore purism, myself, but do what you like03:58
tomsdale_yes - mozilla-plugin-vlc works, thanks a lot. Although I have no control bars but that's fine so far.04:00
tomsdale_in kubuntu the pendant to totem would be dragon player I guess - but dragon player doesn't have browser support.04:01

colton_[And no wiseguy cracks like "don't push as hard." I barely tap it and i'm halfway down a two thousand line document]!04:08
tomsdale_colton_: in kubuntu go to system settings. Keyboard and Mouse04:12
tomsdale_mouse advanced - Mouse wheel scrolls x lines.04:12
tomsdale_You probably have something very high in there. I have 4.04:12
colton_I have 1 in there.04:19
colton_. . . it's still like crazy fast. It's strange though, because it wasn't like this yesterday, now all of a sudden it's changed. I can't think of anything I did which would have changed it either.04:20
tomsdale_did you change enything in the directory /etc/hal/fdi/policy maybe04:21
colton_I don't see how I could have . . .04:21
colton_no.04:21
tomsdale_that's where you would pass customisations to the mouse driver. but in your case if it worked yesterday I don't really know. Is it the same in all applications?04:22
colton_Yeah. It's the same in all.04:23
tomsdale_hm, I really don't know then. Can you try it with a seperate mouse maybe to see whether it's your hw that plays up?04:24
colton_No. But you know what's funny, If I modify the pointer acceleration, the acceleration is modified. But if I modify the scroll speed, (from 12 - 1) (and press apply ) nothing changes.04:27

BigPaticehave you tried gtkpod? i have had great luck with that and ipods05:53
ricardo__not happening with 2.005:53
jon__does gtkpod support ipod touch?05:54
ricardo__yeah.. i know i've tried gtkpod, songbird, rythmbox, but none of them works as good as amaroK05:54
p_quarlesyeah, amarok ipod support is still a work-in-progress05:54
ricardo__but this is a kubuntu related bug05:54
BigPaticei think so. i use gtkpod to put and take music from the ipod, and i use amarok do play whats on my pc05:54
ricardo__it supports ipod on opensuse05:54
jon__ah05:55
BigPaticefor some reason amarok is less quirky on fedora too05:55
ricardo__so that is why im asking anywone with the same issue?05:55
ricardo__media applet seems useless05:55
BigPaticei guess i have the same problem. i just gave up quicker05:55
ricardo__2.0 sucks05:56
ricardo__laks of too many features05:56
BigPaticewell i like amarok for just playing music on my system. it seems better than rythmbox, but i think it is catching up with kde 405:57

ZengolNever go with the pre-set customization.08:29
ZengolIt is only for basic support of your OS, you should know that as the base by now atleast.08:29

DasKreecH!fstab09:15
ubottuThe /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions09:15
eeosDasKreecH: fstab does not have any indications about automounted card readers09:16
eeosDasKreecH: ot commands09:16
DasKreecHWell if it can be mounted then it can be in fstab09:17
DasKreecHand then you can set the options09:17
DasKreecHHal is probably doing the mounting09:17
eeosDasKreecH: well, what mechanism does kubuntu 904 use to automount card readers? where are the default options?09:17
DasKreecHHAL09:18
eeosDasKreecH: and where are HAL's config options? I thought so, and tried to understand, but did not come to anything09:18
DasKreecH!hal09:18
ubottuFor an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer09:18
eeosDasKreecH: so I thought something else must be the case09:18
DasKreecHHal isn't exactly simple09:18
eeosDasKreecH: yes, that was where I started from09:18
eeosDasKreecH: but did not get anywhere09:18
DasKreecHShould be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy09:19
eeosDasKreecH: I got a look there, but the file is actually a default empty config file09:19
eeosDasKreecH: so there has to be a default policy somewhere for the card reader, but where? could not find any information anywhere09:20

ToreadorVampireKubuntu Jaunty LiveCD doesn't come with a partition manager preinstalled?09:22

ActionParsnipToreadorVampire: sure it does. it comes with a few, fdisk, parted09:23
* ToreadorVampire just booted from LiveCD in order to resize his root partition and was shocked that [to use a GUI partition manager] I needed to connected to the internet and download one09:23
DasKreecHToreadorVampire: Yep09:23
DasKreecHIt's not a rescue CD09:24
MamarokToreadorVampire: partitioning is done in recovery mode, when no disks are mounted09:24
ToreadorVampireOh - yeah, could have used a CLI one I guess ... never 'extended a partition' using fdisk before though, hence wanting to use a GUI one09:24
DasKreecHUNless of course you turn on recovery when you are walked through the process09:24
MamarokToreadorVampire: works basically the same way09:24
DasKreecHYou can extend a parition with fdisk?09:24

ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> "What happened to that?" « Talking to me?09:27
DasKreecHNo just musing in general09:27
DasKreecH How come the partition manager doesn't come with KDE09:28
ToreadorVampireMmm09:28
ToreadorVampireI mean, I could pick it up, but that meant connecting to the Internet, which (since network-management out-of-the-box doesn't play nicely with my wifi) meant finding an ethernet cable long enough etc09:29

Oliver___Hallo, ich habe picasa und firefox auf Kubuntu 9.04 installiert und beides läuft unabhängig voneinander sorgenfrei. wenn ich aber ein picas-webalbum im browser übden dafür vorgesehen link zu picasa runterladen will, kommt folgende Meldung "Firefox weiß nicht, wie diese Adresse geöffnet werden soll, da das Protokoll (picasa) mit keinem Programm verknüpft ist." Üblicherweise sollte nach dem Klick das Picasa aufgehen und das Webalbum11:53
Oliver___ importieren. Wie sage ich das aber dem Firefox? Hat jemand einen Rat für mich?11:53

ToreadorVampireHey all - Kubuntu Jaunty/KDE 4.2.2 - I'm having some trouble with plasma crashing (relatively frequently).  I have installed kdeplasma-addons-dbg but when Plasma crashes I still see:11:55
Oliver___ok thx, i forgot the language was wrong...11:55
ToreadorVampireThis backtrace appears to be of no use.11:55
ToreadorVampireThis is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.11:55
ToreadorVampireWhat else should I install/do in order to get a good backtrace so I can troubleshoot the problem?11:55
Tm_TToreadorVampire: also install kdelibs-dbg kdebase-dbg atleast11:55
MamarokToreadorVampire: well, try again, if the bug is reproducible you might get a good backtrace one day11:55
MamarokToreadorVampire: -dbg is enough, just read the message:" stack frame seriously corrupted in the crash"11:56
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Sadly, it's not reproducible (at least, not that I have discovered yet) - when it just exploded I wasn't interacting with plasma at all11:56
MamarokToreadorVampire: Heisenbug then, forget about it, not worth to report then11:57
ToreadorVampireI was working in an app, and wasn't taking any action that would affect plasma11:57
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Sorry, when I say "not reproducible" I mean "It has happened a few times to me, seemingly the same crash.  Each time it happens though, I wasn't doing anything that I can think might have caused it"11:58
ToreadorVampireMamarok> IE:  I couldn't reproduce it if I wanted to but I can be sure it will keep happening11:59
MamarokToreadorVampire: to be able to trace a bug down it needs to have a pattern, else the reports do not help11:59
Tm_TMamarok: unless it's clearly shown in backtrace, rare cases are them though12:00
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Oh, yes, of course - hence asking how I can get some proper backtraces - they might give some kind of hint12:00
ToreadorVampireAt the end of the day it is still a crash bug, and in no way "not worth reporting"12:00
xiachendude12:00
Tm_TToreadorVampire: see what packages I mentioned above, if it still fails, it won't work I afraid then12:01
MamarokToreadorVampire: unfortunately with a corrupt strack you will never get a valid backtrace, you oinly can hope you will hit a good one some day12:01
ToreadorVampireI even think I know what has caused it - installing "stasks" as my task manager replacement.  Since it doesn't happen when I remove stasks.  BUT - without a proper backtrace there's still not much to report12:01
Tm_TMamarok: that too yes12:01
ToreadorVampireTm_T> Indeed, thanks - have installed them12:01
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Well, that message is "maybe you don't have the debugging packages or maybe your stack trace was corrupted" - so having installed those debug packages, I'll see if next time it happens I get a good backtrace12:02
MamarokToreadorVampire: good luck then :)12:02
ToreadorVampireMamarok> thx12:02
* ToreadorVampire goes back to work and waits for it to happen again12:03
ToreadorVampireHmm, as it happened - I didn't need to wait long, but just then I didn't get a kcrash dialog :(12:05
MamarokToreadorVampire: Jaunty with KDE 4.2.3?12:06
ToreadorVampireMamarok> No, 4.2.212:06
MamarokToreadorVampire: as 4.2.3 is a bugfix release you might consider to install that one12:07
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Oh?  In which case maybe I shall ... Why aren't bugfix releases like that pushed through automatically through the updater?  It even has a category for approving bugfix releases (so if I didn't want it I could just deselect it)12:08
ToreadorVampireWith less mature software like KDE4.x I'd think that getting bugfixes through would be top-priority, otherwise regular users would just get the impression that it's no good :(12:09
ToreadorVampireI've had somewhat mixed opinions of Jaunty - some parts of it are great, but it taken a lot of work to wrestle it into submission so it lets me get on with my work.  I'm also more than aware that most people would have lost their temper with it by now and just rolled back to Hardy/KDE3.5 with the opinion that "KDE4 sucks"12:12

ToreadorVampireOn the basis that a kpackagekit search-by-name for "4.2.3" shows nothing, I guess it's not :(12:15

contrastGreets, everyone.14:52
contrastAnyone know how likely this might be to cause disaster: sudo chown mike:mike /dev/input/uinput ? It's the only way I've found to be able to run wminput as a non-root user, something that's essential for my HTPC.14:54
ivan360weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee14:57
ahmedi cannt see the sound someone help me15:03
geniicontrast: Instead, you should add your user to the group of plugdev15:06
contrastgenii: i'm already in that group15:07
contrastin jaunty, they thought it'd be appropriate to set up uinput so it couldn't be accessed by non-root users for security purposes. i'm not terribly concerned with that on the system in question; i just want to make sure the aforementioned command won't interfere with any other programs that use uinput.15:08
geniicontrast: The permissions of things in /dev get reset each boot by udev subsystem so the method you currently use will need to be done each time15:08
contrastgenii: unless i set up an init script to do that, right?15:08
contrastafayk, how "safe" do you think the method i'm suggesting would be?15:10
geniicontrast: You could make a script for it, yes. An other alternative is to alter the udev rules.15:11

nidhalbazhang, you mean that I have to install a fresh copy of kubuntu 8.04?16:25

Mamarokwhy feisty, wasn't he going to use gutsy?17:03
bazhangfirst need to update feisty, then get to gutsy and from there to hardy17:03
bazhangreally at this point though, backup home to tar.gz and fresh install would be waay easier17:04
Mamarokbazhang: wasn't there a possibility to go from LTS to LTS directly?17:04
bazhangMamarok, sure 6.06 to 8.0417:04
bazhanghe's on 7.04 sadly17:04
nidhalomg :(17:05
Mamarokright...17:05
nidhallol there is no downgrade to 6.0617:06
nidhaljust joking17:06
Mamaroknidhal: well, that's normal17:06
nidhalso the only way is installing a fresh copy?17:07
bazhangnidhal, though kubuntu does have the one step 8.04 to 9.0417:07
bazhangnidhal, not the only path, no.17:10
nidhal?17:10
bazhangthe eol upgrades link is one17:10
bazhanga fresh upgrade is another much simpler and less time-consuming one (ie get the Hardy kubuntu cd)17:10
bazhangerr install17:11
nidhalerr install?17:11
bazhangspelling error17:12
bazhangie fresh install of kubuntu hardy17:12
nidhalcan I upgrade my version using kubuntu 8.04 CD?17:12
bazhangyou mean back up your home directory and then do a fresh install?17:13
bazhangonly the alternate cd allows for the upgrade version, and that is null when the version is eol (ie feisty/gutsy)17:15
nidhalSo i have to format and install a fresh copy17:16
bazhangthe live cd will wipe everything, thus the need to back up your home directory17:16
bazhangthat is one option, yes17:16
nidhalit is possible to install a fresh copy but without removing /home/user/?17:17
=== john is now known as Guest89146

DasKreecHXRolando: What? which windows?18:06
RProgrammerHow do I control and see which window manager I'm running?18:11
RProgrammerBtw, if anyone is here from yesterday, the tap thing is fixed.18:14
RProgrammerUse "MaxTapMove" "0" in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi18:14
DasKreecHRProgrammer: Not sure how you see it but just run whichever one you want with --replace18:18
DasKreecHI think you can set it in the Default programs as well18:18
ToreadorVampireRe-asking a question from yesterday:  Is there any way I can hook into the "log out" event of a Kubuntu Jaunty UI (or could someone suggest a better way to do this?):  I have a few network shares I regularly use - I mount them using cifs - I am also networked via wifi (using the network-management KDE4 widget) ...18:19
DasKreecHYeah KDE allows a logout script18:20
DasKreecH so does bash18:20
=== g_steinert is now known as gsteinert
RProgrammer~/.kde/shutdown/   right?18:20
ToreadorVampire... when I shut down the machine, the network-management widget gets shut down, and so my networking goes down.  Later on in the shutdown sequence though, long after the xserver has been closed down, cifs grumbles at me because it can't umount that network share, and (now networking has gone) the "cifs server is not responding"18:20
=== kurumin is now known as kurumin_
ToreadorVampireThe net effect being that my machine hangs when I shut it down, forcing me to do a hard-poweroff18:21
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH, RProgrammer>  Ah cool, and that log out script - would that be executed before or other logout procedures occur?  For example, can I be certain that network-management won't have been shut down by then?18:21
RProgrammerI think KDE is first to shutdown18:22
RProgrammerDefinitely before X18:22
DasKreecHWEll yeah KDE normally has an issue running around without X18:22
DasKreecHbut you can close and sync cifs before that happens so it doesn't complain18:22
DasKreecHOr you could use wicd instead18:23
ToreadorVampireRProgrammer> Er, yes - but - I mean: I was going to stick a umount command in that logout script so that if I forgot to manually unmount the share before I shut down, it will be unmounted whilst I still have networking18:23
RProgrammerRight18:23
ToreadorVampireSo - for it to be useful - the logout script needs to be executed before network-management has been shut down18:24
DasKreecHIt will be18:24
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> Ah good, so - ~/.kde/shutdown right?18:25
DasKreecHYes18:26
RProgrammerWell, how do I tell which window manager I'm running?18:30
RProgrammerI remember in 8.04 there was a system tray applet for this.18:30
RProgrammerIt was buggy as heck but it worked if you rebooted enough18:31
MamarokRProgrammer: you mean you don't know if you are running KDE or Gnome? How can that be18:32
RProgrammerI am running KDE18:34
RProgrammerBut I want the Compiz window manager18:34
Mamarokoh, right18:34
RProgrammerAnd the ability to switch back to KWin when it acts up18:34
MamarokRProgrammer: but isn't using Compiz on KDE4 a bit "too much" ?18:34
RProgrammerI just came from Mac OS X, and believe me..you can't live without Expose once you've used it.18:35
BluesKajcompiz runs nicely on kde4 :)18:35
RProgrammerI heard that Compiz can do the same behavior (Put all windows in a collage, and Show desktop by hot-corner)18:37
RProgrammerAs well as the show-desktops-in-a-grid and switch between desktops by rotating a cube18:37
RProgrammerBut nothing I change in the "CompizConfg Settings Manager" takes effect.18:38
ToreadorVampireRProgrammer> You need to change your default window manager18:43
ToreadorVampireIf you change your default window manager then compiz replaces kwin18:44
RProgrammerHow do you do that?18:44
ToreadorVampireSystem Settings » Default Applications (from the top of my head)18:44
DasKreecHRProgrammer: Kwin does that as well18:44
DasKreecHI find hot corners annouying but it does it18:44
=== Peace-konversati is now known as Peace-
ToreadorVampireRProgrammer> But indeed - kwin has a stack of compiz-style effects now ... so you might not need compiz after all18:45
scomarRProgrammer: try 'present windows' desktop effect18:45
ToreadorVampireYou can switch those on ... erm ... I forget exactly where, but it's in system settings again18:45
DasKreecHOh Yes sorry it's not called Expose it's called present windows18:45
RProgrammerIs System Settings -> Desktop -> Desktop Effects  for KWin or Compiz?18:46
ToreadorVampireRProgrammer> That's the one then :s18:47
RProgrammerI think I've switched it to Compiz by running the CompizConfig Settings Manager18:48
ToreadorVampireRProgrammer> Oh, actually - I find the setting in:18:48
RProgrammerCan I switch it back without logging out / in18:48
DasKreecHRProgrammer: Yes18:48
ToreadorVampireSystem Settings » Default Applications » Window Manager » "Use a different window manager"18:48
RProgrammerI think that only takes effect if I log out and back in18:49
ToreadorVampireRProgrammer> You might also be interested in the package fusion-icon (which gives you a little tray icon for doing stuff like switching between compiz and kwin, restarting compiz, and launching compizconfig settings manager)18:49
RProgrammerThat's it!18:49
DasKreecHI normally just type kwin --replace or compiz --replace :)18:50
ToreadorVampireMmm, I have fusion-icon set to autostart - although I rarely use it - I really have it there just in case something goes wrong, I can restart compiz or switch back to kwin18:50
ToreadorVampireBut I have compiz configured as my default window manager, I don't need to "switch to compiz" when I log in - the session starts up with compiz already18:50
DasKreecHYeah KDE will save everything when you logout so when you login it was just as it was before18:51
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> Er, yeah - although I'm not using that functionality to have compiz run - I don't rely on "saved session" so much18:52
DasKreecHYou can also set it as your default WM18:52
ToreadorVampireIndeed, which is the way I went18:53

MamarokNerdz: I guess you will need some extra backends, try installing libsane-extras (libsane should already be installed with sane), and the sane-utils19:12
apelgateI don't know if this network manager logs whatever it does somewhere or if it is just easier to edit the /etc.... file19:12
ToreadorVampireapelgate> Hmm :(  I do know that network-management was pretty buggy for me when I first used it - I've managed to get a fragile configuration working for it that works with my wifi19:12
apelgateyes19:12
apelgateit works with dhcp19:12
apelgate:-P19:12
MamarokNerdz: the command would be xsaneimage19:13
apelgatebut not with manual ip (it seems)19:13
ToreadorVampireapelgate> I did notice that when (today) I enabled proposed updates in kpackagekit that there's a bugfix update for network-management19:13
gp_is_backDasKreecH: yeah ran it itsalled the update19:13
DasKreecHgp_is_back: ok great :)19:13
apelgatehmmm19:13
apelgategood idea19:13
ToreadorVampireapelgate> Might be worth trying that out - if you head over there, enable those other two update repositories and grab updates from them ...19:13
apelgatewhat's the command? apt-get upgrade?19:14
gp_is_backDasKreecH: problem is whenever I click on adept /synatic etc its not asking for sudo password19:14
ToreadorVampireapelgate> Well, there will b two repositories in your /etc/apt/sources.list that will be commented out atm19:14
DasKreecHNot sure. Mamarok any ideas?19:14
ToreadorVampireapelgate> I believe they are "recommended updates" and "proposed updates"19:14
ToreadorVampireapelgate> Enable those first to see the bugfix release I'm talking about19:15
NerdzMamarok, Scans for devices, but finds nothing.19:15
MamarokDasKreecH: not sure, but in KPackagekit one could disable the password in the early versions19:16
DasKreecHgp_is_back: You prefer using adept?19:16
Mamarokor maybe there is a lock on /var/cache/19:17
ToreadorVampireapelgate> Ah, here we are - in kpackgekit that would be "proposed updates" and "unsupported updates" that I enabled today - after doing that I spotted the network-management plasmoid bugfix update available19:17
=== gary_ is now known as Guest60815
gp_is_backDasKreecH: i prefer using synaptic19:17
MamarokNerdz: try unpluging and pluging back the scanner19:17
gp_is_backbut why o why my system after updrade is not asking sudo password19:18
Mamarokgp_is_back: just type synaptic in a konsole then19:18
ToreadorVampire(catching the cross-chatter) Adept is available in Jaunty's repos?  Ooh - I might ditch kpackagekit and use adept instead ... I never did like kpackagekit much anyway19:18
=== Guest60815 is now known as gsteinert

TheGrammarFreakYou know that app for adding and removing applications? It's found in gnome by deafault, does anyone know how I could get that on Kubuntu?19:20
ToreadorVampireapelgate> Yeah - I have no idea if it will help you of course - but it's worth giving a shot19:20
TheGrammarFreakIt's not synaptic19:20
TheGrammarFreakIt just called "add/remove software"19:20
Mamarokgpgquit synaptic and start it again with sudo synaptic from the konsole19:20
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: it's packagekit, and it's part of the systemsettings in KDE19:21
NerdzMamarok, Nope Nothing. It worked before with Kubuntu 8.04 though...so I cant think of whats different19:21
* ToreadorVampire still isn't sure that it was a wise idea to not include KDE3.5 in Jaunty - I still see too many problems in Jaunty relating to KDE4.x being too immature for serious/production use (without a lot of work going into it to get it to work properly)19:21
Mamarokgp_is_back: gquit synaptic and start it again with sudo synaptic from the konsole19:21
gp_is_backworks19:22
MamarokNerdz: ev. check the sane webpage, you will eventually need a driver then19:22
TheGrammarFreakNo, this lists all the actual packages, it was an app for noobs, and it just showed the software names.19:22
Mamarokgp_is_back: nice :)19:22
gp_is_backi guess Kde is not asking for sudo password19:22
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: then it's adept19:22
TheGrammarFreakI'll have a look19:23
Mamarokgp_is_back: it should, don't know what's wrong with your installation19:23
Mamarokgp_is_back: never heard that before19:23
gp_is_backits not working after updrade19:23
TheGrammarFreakIt's not exactly what I was after, but it will do19:24
Mamarokgp_is_back: you only did an upgrade, you didn't change settings in kwallet or systemsettings?19:24

ubottuToreadorVampire: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at  https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page19:25

Mamarokgp_is_back: don't abuse the bot, please19:26
gp_is_backsorry bot19:26
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> Indeed ... I know all of that - and I know that I could roll back to hardy ... My big problem then is that Hardy has > year-old versions of software I use a lot.  I want the versions that are in Jaunty (and that software isn't in hardy-backports).19:27
ToreadorVampire... so - yeah, I could use the unsupported KDE 3.5 Jaunty install - but "unsupported" often makes me shy to install it, because this is a production machine19:27
gp_is_backDasKreecH: use debian then19:27
DasKreecHToreadorVampire: Did you read the factoid? Esp the part that says jaunty?19:27
ToreadorVampireYes, but you replied before I had finished answering :p19:28
DasKreecHToreadorVampire: You do know that unsupported means unsupported by canonical19:28
DasKreecHSo you can't buy support for it. If you aren't buying support for KDE4 it doesn't make much of a difference to you19:28
TheGrammarFreakIt was gnome-app-install I was after, but thanks anyway19:29
ToreadorVampireSo (at least when I first had stacks of problems with Jaunty) I had really started giving thought to trying a different distro19:29
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> Oh ... well ... that needs to be more explicit :s  Because I assume "unsupported" to mean "if I ask in #kubuntu, people won't make much effort to help"19:29
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: guess why it's not in KDE...19:30
ToreadorVampireAnyway - I have slowly been wrestling Jaunty into shape, and KDE4/Jaunty is growing on me ...19:30
TheGrammarFreakIndeed19:30
DasKreecHToreadorVampire: I'll agree you will have less help here as well as most people will be more familar with KDE4 by now19:30

ToreadorVampire... there are still problems - some of which I have implemented manual workarounds for and some of them I have just slightly changed the way I work, so that I don't trigger those bugs/crashes19:31
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: well, you can install it, but it will install half of Gnome with it then, don't be astonished19:31
* ToreadorVampire has started getting heavily involved in launchpad/KDE's issue tracker since installing Jaunty ;)19:31
TheGrammarFreakI just have, and get over tha fact that I prefer some of gnomes stuff19:32
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: you will get used to KDE pretty fast, don't worry, just stay open minded :)19:32
TheGrammarFreakI have used KDE since gnome died on me19:32

TheGrammarFreakI am19:34
DasKreecHToreadorVampire: :) What's missing for you?19:35
gp_is_back%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL19:35
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> Well, that network-management widget has been really wobbly - I have gotten it working, but my config is really 'fragile' and I daren't try to edit it lest it takes me 30 mins to reconfigure my wifi :s19:36
DasKreecHToreadorVampire: You knw it hasn't been released yet? :)19:36
DasKreecHIt's a backport from SVN19:36
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> Then - why the heck was it included as the default network management widget when knetworkmanager was perfectly good?  (or - if it had issues, they were issues that people knew about and had already created workarounds for)19:37
MamarokToreadorVampire: it already is, you will see it with KDE 4.319:37
DasKreecHGood point on that19:37
gp_is_backshould i file a bug report for this?19:38
ToreadorVampireDasKreecH> The thing is - I'm aware that I'm not a "linux pro" but I have a fairly reasonable understanding and (although I grumble and moan vocally) I have a willingness to "spend time and make it work".  A regular office-type user would just say "it doesn't work" and their experience of kubuntu jaunty/kde4 will be tained by "it looks nice, but it can't connect to my wireless network"19:39
DasKreecHToreadorVampire: I know :(19:39
DasKreecHBut I think part of it is to use this as much as possible to make it better faster19:40
ToreadorVampireIndeed19:40
gp_is_backDasKreecH: Kde 4 is big waste of time ...its half coocked stuff19:40
ToreadorVampireSame thing with the default nvidia driver version included with Jaunty (actually, tbh this was an issue with Hardy too - I skipped Intrepid) - the nvidia glx driver version 180 is pretty buggy (the nvidia people admit that openly) - but it's the default driver version in Jaunty ...19:41
gp_is_backmaybe it will stable in next 4-5 years19:41
Mamarokgp_is_back: don't be silly, I use KDE 4 since it's beginning, and KDE 4.3 is rock solid here19:41
gp_is_backhehe19:42
gp_is_backme too19:42
Mamarokgp_is_back: 4.0 was never intended for end users anyway, enither was 4.119:43
gp_is_backand 4.2 without network applet?19:43
ToreadorVampire... and there's no newer driver available in Jaunty's repos, where there is a far superior stable/released driver on nvidia's ftp site (version 185.18.14).  Driver version 180 (Jaunty's default one) has serious crash bugs, and 173 (the alternative one in the repos) suffers from a GPU slowdown issue - both of those will give people the impression that Kubuntu/KDE4 are inferior .19:43
ToreadorVampire... when it could have actually be resolved with a decent bugfixed driver in the repos19:43
Mamarokgp_is_back: I always had it and it always worked for me, sometimes a few tweaks, but it worked19:44
TheGrammarFreakKDE 4 seems fine to me19:44
DasKreecHgp_is_back: Half Cooked I can maybe understand. Waste of time? no that doesn't make sense19:44
gp_is_backliving in denial19:44
DasKreecHgp_is_back: How is it a waste of time?19:44
Mamarokahem, graphic drivers have nothing to do with KDE, that's the underlying system that handles it19:44
ToreadorVampireOn both Hardy and Jaunty I ended up removing the repos-installed glx driver and using one from nvidia's site19:44
gp_is_backDasKreecH: its expermental stuff will take couple of years to get stable19:45
Mamarokalso, if you really want to complain about graphic drivers, please talk to Nvidia, AMD/Ati and Intel19:45
DasKreecHgp_is_back: I can think of one thing that is true for19:45
gp_is_backif nokia doest shift focus to mobiles ;-)19:45
DasKreecHand no one else in the world has anything like it19:45
Mamarokok, back to topic everyone, support channel here, discussions please in #kubuntu-offtopic!19:45
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Yeah, but I'm saying - because the repository-installed driver has horrid bugs, someone who is not aware of the difference between all of that stuff will just say "Yeah, my shit keeps hanging on me, KDE4 sucks"19:45
NerdzMamarok, Im installing HPLIP to see if I can get it to work19:46

Mamarokgp_is_back: behave!19:46
ToreadorVampireIf I get some spare time I'll have to read a bit about .deb packaging and see if I can't put a dirty .deb together for the 185-version driver ...19:46

ToreadorVampire(bringing this out of PM sinc it's relevant to the channel's interests) <Mamarok> like Quassel allows you to use a remote core to be connected all the time « Really?!20:48
umarthen20:48
ToreadorVampireDoes Quassel have a 'headless' component?  Something I could drop on a GUI-less debian server?20:49
umardid i reinstall ubuntu  to fix the problem20:49
zosno I don't think this is necessary20:50
MamarokToreadorVampire: I have never used it, I have Irssi running in a screen session20:50
umari mean re install  c  file system to  ubuntu to fix problem20:50
MamarokToreadorVampire: but I guess yes, maybe ask in #quassel20:51
ToreadorVampireMamarok> Yeah, that's what a lot of people seem to do - can Quassel 'attach' to irssi like that?20:51
ToreadorVampireOh?  Quassel has its own channel eh?20:51
zoshave you ever mounted this partition under Ubuntu20:51
MamarokI don't use Quassel20:51
jussi01ToreadorVampire: quassel has the core20:51
harjotgenii: are u theere????\20:51
Mamarokbut the devs use either Quassel with a core or Irssi in a screen session20:51
jussi01ToreadorVampire: which is headless as such, then you connect to it with the client20:51
* jussi01 is a qussel user - with a core20:52
Mamarokyeah, jussi01 has many people 'lingering in his closet' :)20:52

BluesKaj!defrag | Kasm27921:05
ubottuKasm279: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.21:05
zosyes21:05
jussi01!defrag | Kasm27921:05
MamarokKasm279: don't, you really don't need to defrag the Linux filesystem21:05

MamarokKasm279: ok, now I understand, how big is that CF card?21:06

Kasm279i turned it off and i wont do /away here22:06
Kasm279!away22:06
ubottuYou should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines»22:06
MamarokKasm279: hm, that should be disabled by default, it just causes unnecessary scrolling22:06
Kasm279i turned it on22:07
MamarokKasm279: doing /away "reason" manually doesn't cause scrolling at all, the autoaway messages do22:07
Kasm279no, if i do /away it still does that22:08

TheGrammarFreakEverything on my screen is slightly blurry, I'm not sure if it's hardware or software. I only really noticed it when I started to use Compiz Fusion. Also, how do you change the default text from monospace?22:23
MamarokDasKreecH: that was not exactly funny...22:26
DasKreecHMamarok: I just noticed it awhile  ago22:27
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: systemsettings -> Desktop for the Desktop effects: try changing the individual settings22:27
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: systemsettings ->Appearance for the fonts, Ideal is a Sans Serif with Monospace only for the fixed width22:28
TheGrammarFreakDoesn't that change Kwin settings22:28
TheGrammarFreak?22:28
TheGrammarFreakI use Compiz22:28
MamarokTheGrammarFreak: hm, that's one of the reasons I don't use compiz...22:29
TheGrammarFreakWell, I prefer some of the key bindings, and I use some polugins a lot that don't exist in Kwin22:29
DasKreecHTheGrammarFreak: Which ones?22:30
TheGrammarFreakExpo, tabbing, key bindiongs for the cube,22:30
TheGrammarFreakerr...22:30
TheGrammarFreakRing switcher22:30
DasKreecHExpo exists22:30
DasKreecHI don't know about the rest22:30
DasKreecHTabbed is coming I think22:30
TheGrammarFreakOh yeah, there is an expo22:30
TheGrammarFreakSorry22:30
DasKreecHNot sure waht key bindings for teh cube means22:31
TheGrammarFreakI stand corrected22:31
DasKreecHUgh tired22:31
TheGrammarFreakControl, alt mousclick22:31
TheGrammarFreakI couldn't do the same with Kwin22:31
DasKreecHOh grabbing the cube?22:31
TheGrammarFreakYe22:31
DasKreecHI don't know I don't really like the cube myself so I don't follow it22:31
DasKreecHnot sure if that's possible22:32
Mamarokhm, there'a cube too and the rest is work in progress22:32
drbobbhi there, I am trying to install packages of moovida from the ppa, but ran into some problems even though I followed the instructions22:32
DasKreecHRing switcher is probably pretty easy22:32
DasKreecHIf it doesn't exist already22:32
Mamarokand compiz is not supported on Jaunty anymore AFAIK22:32
DasKreecHMamarok: It has to be.22:33
drbobbI added the repo in synaptic and imported the key, but the packages still don't show up22:33
DasKreecHIt ships with Ubuntu by default22:33
TheGrammarFreakI'm usiong it, from official reposotories22:33
DasKreecHdrbobb: You reloaded ?22:33
drbobbDasKreecH: yep, twice22:33
MamarokDasKreecH: well, Kwin is the default compositing manger for KDE22:34
DasKreecHdrbobb: what package ?22:34
DasKreecHMamarok: Yeah but default and supported are different things22:34
drbobbhttps://launchpad.net/~moovida-packagers/+archive/ppa22:34
Mamarokdrbobb: did you add the gpg key?22:34
DasKreecHYou can choose compiz as the winidow manager in default applications22:34
drbobbMamarok: yep I did22:34
DasKreecHGPG key shouldn't stop them from showing up22:34
TheGrammarFreakKwin is the best default window manager around, but I just prefer compiz22:34
drbobband searching for moovida in synaptic yields 0 matches22:35
DasKreecHMaybe wrote it wrong in the sources.list ?22:35
drbobbDasKreecH: wouldn't that produce an error upon refreshing?22:35
DasKreecHTheGrammarFreak: Well Compiz isn't the default window manager for anything so those can both be equally true :)22:35
DasKreecHdrbobb: Still wouldn't stop them from turning up22:35
TheGrammarFreakDasKreecH, Indeed22:36
DasKreecHdrbobb: A warning not an error22:36
swattoIs it possible to change the graphical display when logging into kde22:36
Mamarokdrbobb: the PPA say 0 packages built...22:36
drbobbwell there was no warning either22:36
DasKreecHah godo catch :)22:36
TheGrammarFreakI will keep trying with the blur22:36
TheGrammarFreakCheers22:36
DasKreecHdrbobb: The PPA is being populated it seems22:36
drbobbMamarok: huh? OTOH there is a list of packages there22:36
drbobbjust a minute...22:37
drbobbhey that's weird - aptitude search moovida finds the packages22:38
drbobband synaptic doesn't22:38
Mamarokdrbobb: where did you expect them to show up?22:38
drbobbMamarok: typing moovida into the quick search widget22:39
Mamaroksynaptic didn't show them as "new in the repositories"?22:39
drbobbnope it didn't22:39
Mamarokdrbobb: the quick search only works for the current display, so if you are not in the all packages view you can't see any22:39
Mamarokuse the search button instead22:40
drbobbMamarok: I was in the all packages view, double checked that22:40
drbobband I did try the search button too22:40
Mamarokthe serach button is more reliable than quick search, I use the button for general serach, then narrow down with quick search22:40
drbobbactually I scanned through all the views and still found nothing22:41
Mamarokdrbobb: tried origin -> ppa?22:41
drbobbyeah22:41
Mamarokdrbobb: just tried here, works fine :)22:41
Mamarokin synaptic that is22:41
drbobbI said it was weird22:41
Mamarokdrbobb: what is moovida exactly?22:42
drbobbstill doesn't work for me22:42
drbobbMamarok: some overgrown media player22:42
Mamarokhm, just found the website...22:43
drbobbhmm aptitude warns me the packages are unsigned, even though i did import the key22:45
Mamarokdrbobb: added to your keyring?22:45
Mamarokthe PPA generates the key automatically, so if it's in your keyring it should work22:45
Mamarokdid you do an aptitude update before?22:46
drbobbyeah I know it should22:46
drbobbnot sure whether I did update after adding the key22:46
drbobbI did do update in synaptic though22:47
drbobbyeah after updating I still get the warning22:47
drbobbseems I broke something or what22:48
drbobbmoovida looks pretty slick but it probably won't work too well on my laptop anyway22:50
drbobbstill wanted to try it out though22:51
drbobbyeah apt-key list says I do have the moovida launchpad key in my keyring22:53
drbobbbut aptitude still insists the packages are unsigned22:56
Mamarokdrbobb: aren't there any Elisa packages around?22:56
Mamarokit's just a rebrand of Elisa, no?22:56
drbobbMamarok: well maybe, I've never used elisa22:57
Mamarokdrbobb: it is a rebrand, was still named Elisa only a few weeks ago22:57
drbobbMamarok: doesn't make much difference to me22:58
drbobbwhat I'm worried about is the package system playing funny tricks22:58
drbobbis synaptic supposed to hide unauthenticated packages?23:00
Mamarokdrbobb: no, it doesn't23:01
Mamarokyou can't just install those23:01
drbobbthen I have no idea what's going on23:01
Mamarokdrbobb: you can always install them with sudo apt-get and have to override the warning, but try adding the key again, maybe just a typo somewhere23:02
drbobbI added it from the keyserver, with apt-key adv --recv-keys23:05
drbobbno chance of a typo23:05
DasKreecHdrbobb: That's the way to go :)23:05
drbobbDasKreecH: so? didn't work for me this time23:06
Mamarokhm, I used gpg in konsole to download and export it to apt-key, that worked fine here23:07
drbobbyeah I said it is in my keyring according to apt-key, but the packages are still reported as unsigned23:08
wasim_them your mtf23:09
Mamarokwasim_: do you have a question?23:10
drbobbwell crap it's getting late, I'll try some other time23:11
