| teucer | I'm having some trouble making JACK work under KDE | 00:29 |
| teucer | It works fine under GNOME, but I like working in KDE better, and for some reason JACK stops itself every time I try to use it | 00:30 |
| Chani | hmm. is there a convenient way to dist-upgrade or should I just edit sources.list ? | 00:43 |
| LoreCaster | alright... this is reaching the desperation point. Is it at all possible to have another computer, for example, a windows machine... that has drivers for that **** ****** canon printer... and allow my linux box to print THROUGH the windows print server? anyone know the answer or where i can go to ask? | 00:45 |
| LoreCaster | i would be prepared to set up a windows xp 32-bit tower just to get the printer running... and attach it with samba or something to my linux-box... | 00:45 |
| Chani | that *sounds* like it must be possible, but I don't have much luck with printers | 00:46 |
| LoreCaster | my brother gave me this awesome laser multifunction, but canon doesn't support linux under any circumstances | 00:47 |
| dthacker | LoreCaster: model? | 00:47 |

| dthacker | LoreCaster is this directly attached via parallel? | 00:49 |
| LoreCaster | via USB | 00:50 |
| LoreCaster | who uses parallel any more? :P | 00:50 |
| * Chani is concerned about hte xorg removal bit | 00:50 | |
| JontheEchidna | Chani: that's a meta package that depends on all xserver video drivers | 00:51 |
| LoreCaster | been ripping my hair out for three days over this... what a dog | 00:51 |
| JontheEchidna | it should be safe to remove | 00:51 |
| Chani | JontheEchidna: well apparently the reason it's removing it is that things like ati and vesa are not installable | 00:51 |
| Chani | it'd kinda suck if I gotstuck not having any video drivers | 00:52 |
| JontheEchidna | ok, then that's bad | 00:52 |
| Chani | it doesn't say *why* | 00:52 |
| JontheEchidna | So this is a upgrade to 9.04? | 00:52 |
| Chani | yeah | 00:53 |
| Chani | hardy->jaunty | 00:53 |
| LoreCaster | i really like jaunty | 00:53 |

| tsimpson | myself: by default, user installed wallpapers are in ~/.kde/share/wallpapers | 05:40 |

| tsimpson | then can you be more clear? :) | 05:40 |
| dacorr | join #ubuntu | 05:40 |
| myself | okay, so check this out, so i have wallpapers in a certain folder, in my home folder, that i selected with the Desktop Settings - Plamsa Workspace to change my background with, now, i want to move those into another folder, they are in the home folder, but it wont let me move them because they are saved in that menu. | 05:41 |
| myself | they are protected or read only or something now | 05:42 |
| myself | cause that menu uses them | 05:42 |
| tsimpson | how are you trying to move them? | 05:43 |

| myself | indicating they are read only | 05:44 |

| Serpardum | yeah, jussi01, I've ls --help too but the help is not written very well, not are man pages | 10:03 |
| cjae | man pages really suck sometimes, but at time can be incredibly reviling | 10:04 |
| user654 | hi there | 10:04 |
| user654 | me on 9.04 kde and I have to set the resolution to 1440x900 but when I restart or relogin the screen login shifts back to 1280x1024 how to fix it to 1440x900 | 10:04 |
| cjae | user654, you gotta let them know the video card | 10:05 |
| Serpardum | you probably have to move it to one of the init.d things | 10:05 |
| user654 | Serpardum: I go to system settings and choose 1440x900 | 10:05 |
| user654 | and it works... but after relogin or restart | 10:05 |
| user654 | it reverts to 1280 1024 | 10:05 |
| Serpardum | right, you are setting it for this session, apparently it's not being written anyway | 10:06 |
| user654 | Serpardum: how do I put it to restart | 10:06 |
| Serpardum | *anywhere | 10:06 |
| user654 | I mean where do I write it | 10:06 |
| user654 | there must be some file or configuration kde reads | 10:06 |
| user654 | Serpardum: ?? | 10:07 |
| Serpardum | yeah, not sure where it is though | 10:07 |
| Serpardum | try googleing | 10:08 |
| Serpardum | "kubuntu save screen resolution reboot" | 10:08 |
| user654 | its like this >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase/+bug/268434 | 10:08 |
| khaije | for a kubuntu/vista dual boot which OS should i let handle the booting ? | 10:09 |
| Serpardum | I boot in vista just because I don't have the vista CD but a system restore setting (hp came that way) | 10:09 |
| khaije | Serpardum: was it tricky to setup a linux option in ntldr ? | 10:10 |
| user654 | Serpardum: how can I change the resolution of the gdm screen ? | 10:12 |
| Serpardum | user654: using what emulator? | 10:13 |
| user654 | emulator ? | 10:13 |
| Serpardum | If you are using virtualbox you have to install guest additions | 10:13 |
| Serpardum | or what is this gdm? | 10:13 |
| Serpardum | khaije: It was very easy to have vitualbox in vista run the install for kubuntu | 10:13 |
| cjae | I dont know anymore, but it used to be xorg.conf and look for your screen and set the default to whatever, user654 but they are changing xorg a bit lately, if its an nvidia card and you install the nvidia drivers you can set by their conf utility | 10:14 |
| Serpardum | the one thing I dont like however is the max window size seems to be 1024x768 for the emulated linux machine | 10:14 |
| Serpardum | afk-nature calls | 10:14 |
| === Serpardum is now known as Serpardum[AFK] | ||
| user654 | cjae: its intel onboard | 10:15 |
| user654 | in xorg.conf how do I specify a default screen resolution | 10:15 |
| cjae | user654, I "think" if its not detecting it properly you would have to edit by hand and I have not done much in awhile | 10:16 |
| cjae | user654, one sec | 10:16 |
| user654 | yea I shall edit it.. but how exactly do I | 10:17 |
| shadeslayer | user654: i can help there....one sec | 10:17 |
| cjae | user654, this is how you used to do it bare with me and this is for nvidia but there is not much diff in xorg between cards | 10:19 |
| cjae | why bother | 10:19 |
| shadeslayer | Underliner: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html | 10:19 |

| cjae | user654, when you read default depth you are there | 10:23 |
| user654 | hmm | 10:23 |
| cjae | modes are the resolution and first is default unless stated otherwise | 10:24 |
| user654 | cjae: which part | 10:24 |
| cjae | there is also #xorg | 10:24 |
| cjae | Section Screens | 10:25 |
| user654 | all right | 10:25 |
| user654 | now I shall try that | 10:25 |
| user654 | cjae: btw the depth is the color depth right ? | 10:26 |
| cjae | user654, backup first, I went through many systems before I got my had crafted xorg.conf which I keep copy of | 10:26 |
| cjae | yes | 10:26 |
| user654 | so can I use a value of 32 for that ? | 10:27 |
| cjae | its not 32 like windows | 10:27 |
| user654 | I have 384mb graphics memory | 10:27 |
| user654 | then? | 10:27 |
| user654 | then ? | 10:27 |
| cjae | 24 is highest | 10:27 |
| user654 | fine | 10:27 |
| user654 | that too wud do | 10:27 |
| cjae | eye can only process so much | 10:27 |
| user654 | correct .. | 10:27 |
| user654 | 1 more thing | 10:27 |
| user654 | I just noticed that closing pidgin closed it instead of sending it to tray | 10:28 |
| user654 | why ? | 10:28 |
| shadeslayer | user654: check that in the settings | 10:28 |
| cjae | user654, I think the way to do this is much different now, so beware | 10:28 |
| user654 | in settings of what .... pidgin or kde ? | 10:28 |
| shadeslayer | user654: pidgin | 10:28 |

| ActionParsnip | hahahahaha | 11:07 |
| eeos | hi everybody | 11:08 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: nope ;) though i could use some help with neon if you have experience | 11:08 |
| cjae | Hi, Dr. eeos ! | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | none at all, i avoid that whole thing | 11:08 |
| perojok | shadeslayer: kubuntu at first | 11:09 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: ok... | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: wassup, maybe i can help | 11:09 |
| eeos | I have some difficulties with 4.2.3 .... it .... is .... so .... painfully .... slow .... | 11:09 |
| shadeslayer | perojok: ok so kubuntu 9.04?? then you installed ubuntu 9.04?? | 11:09 |
| eeos | (4.2.3 is actually 4.2.4) | 11:09 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: heh..none of the nightly apps work...and i _mean_ none :) | 11:10 |
| * cjae wonders how many times if any the DR. nick rivera things has been done | 11:10 | |
| cjae | thing* | 11:10 |
| eeos | it is so slow I actually input this conversation yesterday | 11:10 |
| perojok | shadeslayer: kubuntu 8.04 then ubuntu 9.04 64bit | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | perojok: ok...did you tell the installer to install grub?? | 11:11 |
| Serpardum | Hi. I "fixed" my resolution modes by adding the screen settings to my empty xorg.conf file. | 11:11 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: oh btw..if youre into superkaramba,i created a new theme :) | 11:11 |
| Serpardum | So now when I start kubuntu under virtual box it comes up at the max resoluiton of my screen. I want it a little smaller, but... | 11:12 |
| shadeslayer | perojok: if not then please get a live CD and see this | 11:12 |
| shadeslayer | !grub | perojok | 11:12 |
| ubottu | perojok: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:12 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: does superkaramba work with kde >= 4.2 | 11:12 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: ? | 11:12 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: why not?? | 11:12 |
| perojok | shadeslayer: thanks | 11:12 |
| Serpardum | when I go to settings->screen my screen goes all wonky and I canbt' see/set anything. My thinking is that kubuntu is reading the settings and it's different and tries to set it and it breaks. How do I clean taht up so I can use the settings for the device? | 11:12 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: I thought it was not ported, with the widgety thing | 11:12 |
| shadeslayer | perojok: please see the restore how to ;) | 11:13 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: nope its still alive and kicking | 11:13 |
| Serpardum | waht file does system->display write to? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: not my bag dude. LXDE, clean and simple, I dont even have wallpaper 99% of the time | 11:14 |
| eeos | \me: ouch! | 11:14 |
| * Serpardum wonders why eeos did that backwards | 11:14 | |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: oh and one more thing...a torrent tracker times out in deluge and transmission but works fine in ktorrent | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: harsh none work, do you have the old debs backed up from the last install :D | 11:15 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: nope :P | 11:15 |
| eeos | Serpardum: changed keyboard, pressed the wrong key (but that was yesterday in any case) | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: I'd backup the old debs of good working releases, if you get a bad update from neon, rol it back | 11:15 |
| Serpardum | heh | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: maybe there are settings in deluge / transmission to use DHT etc | 11:16 |
| eeos | what is neon? a fish? | 11:16 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: ive already set it | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: i used to use neon but gave up with it, too much heartache | 11:16 |

| eeos | my relationships with kde is transforming into a love (4%) hate (80%) relationships .... with a large shady area in the middle .... | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: me too, i use kde apps but not the DE | 11:20 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: whats the prolem?? | 11:20 |
| eeos | I have started using xfce | 11:21 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: KDE too slow?? | 11:21 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: 4.2.4 .... is .... so .... slow .... and .... over taxing .... on my .... laptop | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: i use lxde, xfce is decent, i also use fluxbox for its killer shortcut key support :) | 11:21 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: yes, the input of this conversation actually happened yesterday | 11:22 |
| eeos | <ActionParsnip>: what is the fastest, in your opinion? | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: hmm..wel since i have a discrete GPU and a T8100.....doesnt really matter :) | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: flwm is fastest by far | 11:22 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: is she very discrete? | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | imho | 11:23 |
| eeos | I will give it a go .... | 11:23 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: i guess its like vista....you upgrade and you find that its 100 times slower than XP | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: http://awflwm.berlios.de/images/ss-4-24-2004.png | 11:23 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: I have a Quadro FX, and I can tell you it is taxing that as well | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !info flwm | 11:24 |
| ubottu | flwm (source: flwm): Fast Light Window Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.02+cvs20080422-4 (jaunty), package size 42 kB, installed size 156 kB | 11:24 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: 8600 MGT | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | my biggest gfx card is an onboard GF 6150 and it runs all DEs great | 11:25 |
| eeos | well, you just told me you are not using kde anymore for performance issues .... :D | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: i just like more ram for my apps rather than a glossy frontend | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: even if i had 16Gb ram, I'd still run lxde | 11:26 |
| eeos | it takes like 30 sec to start on a Quadro FX with half a ton of RAM available | 11:26 |
| * shadeslayer has 2.3 GB...wonders how much more could one need | 11:26 | |
| Baheer | how can I enable the module using a2enmod | 11:26 |
| Baheer | ? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: theres an article on that.... | 11:26 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: 64Gb? :D | 11:26 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: where?? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/memory-module-upgrade,2264.html | 11:27 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: why did you choose lxde on flwm? | 11:27 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: hehehe.....to much for me...i could put myself there :P | 11:27 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: well, I have that on the server, but not on the laptop .... :D | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: i have 1gb ram and want maximum performance from my apps, so i lessen the resources inflicted by the basic desktop by using a lighter one | 11:27 |
| shadeslayer | im thinking of getting 2X4 GB modules | 11:27 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: why did you not go for flwm, if it is faster? | 11:28 |
| eeos | shadeslayer: can you have that on the laptop? | 11:28 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: this is no laptop....its a MONSTER.....muwhahahaha.....XPS M1530 | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: it is faster. I used to use it on my fileserver until I ditched the x server altogether | 11:29 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: servers dont really need X | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: thing is, people only think their is kde, xfce and gnome and its simply not the case. Its good to try different DEs to see which you prefer | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: i know, it doesnt have one now | 11:30 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: i have all of them...pekwm and openbox too | 11:30 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: but you said flwm was the fastest! | 11:30 |
| shadeslayer | !fast | 11:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fast | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: fastest depends on config | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: there are lots of superlight DEs to choose from | 11:30 |
| eeos | [11:22] <ActionParsnip> eeos: flwm is fastest by far | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | and the next line reads.... | 11:31 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: for his config | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: its all config dude, i bet my file server boots faster than most systems but its about 7 years old now | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | but that doesnt mean its better or faster, its a hunk of junk | 11:32 |
| * shadeslayer gets his 17sec bootchart,shows it to ActionParsnip | 11:32 | |
| ActionParsnip | boots in about 10, to console. no DE | 11:33 |

| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: \o/ i have the same config desktop next to me... | 11:34 |
| m_tadeu | how can I configure the tap on the touchpad? | 11:34 |
| eeos | we use 64 bit linux, and it does make a huge difference if you have 4Gb or 64 Gb | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: not in those tests | 11:34 |
| eeos | particularly for memory intensive tasks | 11:34 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: of course, he uses Vista | 11:34 |
| shadeslayer | eeos: imho...no | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: an app will only use as much ram as it needs, the rest will be used as disk cache | 11:34 |
| shadeslayer | 64 GB is needed for forkbombs | 11:35 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: exactly, so if you allocate 40 Gb of vectors, you have better have 64 Gb of memory | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: yes but if you had 20Tb RAM and only need 40Gb for vectors, the rest isnt used. terefore no speed gain | 11:35 |
| shadeslayer | bye all...go to pay some bills ;) | 11:36 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: and a test run on Vista does not tell you anything about the performances on Linux | 11:36 |
| shadeslayer | *got | 11:36 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: that is rather obvious, does not need a test to know it | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | eeos: true but the apps you run will only use the ram they need | 11:36 |
| eeos | ActionParsnip: of course, which means more than 2Gb, particularly if it is half taken by DE and daemons .... :) | 11:37 |
| eeos | I have to go, the bus is leaving in few minutes! | 11:37 |
| eeos | have a nice day! | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | again, dpepends on settings. I only have 1Gb and my system runs great | 11:37 |

| m_tadeu | touseef: sudo apt-get install firefox | 11:45 |
| touseef | let me try | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | touseef: due to its linking with ubuntu-branding you are going to install 100Mb of data | 11:46 |
| touseef | hmm,. | 11:46 |
| touseef | m_tadeu your command didnt help | 11:46 |
| touseef | it says | 11:47 |
| touseef | Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 11:47 |
| touseef | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 11:47 |
| touseef | is only available from another source | 11:47 |
| touseef | E: Package firefox has no installation candidate | 11:47 |

| ActionParsnip | its in the main repo so you shouldnt have to play with anything | 11:48 |
| touseef | lets see wat happenes | 11:48 |
| m_tadeu | you must have installed from the cd and you always need to update the first time | 11:48 |
| touseef | i downloaded from firefox setup from mozilla.com | 11:49 |
| touseef | i have it on my desktop | 11:49 |
| touseef | but it is zipped | 11:49 |

| touseef | repo is wat? | 11:50 |
| touseef | where can i find it? | 11:50 |
| m_tadeu | repository...where the packages live....and you install from | 11:51 |
| touseef | i have add remove programs | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | touseef: you dont actually download files and install them much in ubuntu, you use repos | 11:52 |
| touseef | oh ok | 11:52 |
| touseef | do u know ark package? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | touseef: when you use synaptic of apt-get it access a list of servers (can be found in /etc/apt/sources.list) and will install the apps you request, if they can be found | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | touseef: you need to use the repo | 11:53 |
| touseef | hmm.. | 11:53 |
| touseef | okay | 11:53 |
| touseef | i am not familier with this really. | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | touseef: remember linux is VERY case sensitive so dont go throwing capitals in there | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | touseef: you'll learn with time | 11:54 |

| Matisse | Hi ActionParsnip | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Matisse: if you alt + drag them down, then maximise. do they fill the screen properly? | 12:39 |
| Matisse | yes, they do | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cool | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | i think you can then ctrl + alt and click the X in the top right and it rememebers the location | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | or is that just a placebo and the system is remembering the position anyroad | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | might be ctrl+shift | 12:40 |
| Matisse | and now I have to do this for every different program? | 12:42 |
| Matisse | well, i found something in the kde kontrollzentrum the would solve this problem on a different way, but it doesn't work: allow the size change of maximized windows... | 12:52 |

| oheric | Lol. I kinda stumbled on this place from the support page on ubuntu.com | 16:40 |
| oheric | I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm a complete and total noob when it comes to Ubuntu | 16:41 |
| beagleburt | <oheric > - wots the problem? | 16:41 |
| oheric | Well I'm trying to set Windows XP as my default OS. I found the file to change /boot/grub/menu.lst and I made the correct changes but I don't have permission to save the file. I'm read only. How can I get permission to write on the file? | 16:42 |
| beagleburt | <oheric> - Have you tried "sudo"? | 16:43 |

| oheric | Ahh thanks! | 16:45 |

| cheryl | hey channel; new install and i'm having a new-to-me very annoying problem with mouse: works fine in konsole and most apps, but not in firefox, konqueror, konversation... | 16:45 |
| oheric | Drivers? | 16:45 |
| beagleburt | <oheric> - cud u b more specific? | 16:46 |
| cheryl | basically left-clicking anything will highlight entire work, instead of moving cursor there, drop down menus don't work, can't highlight anything to copy... | 16:46 |
| cheryl | right-clicking doesn't work either...anyone know how to fix this thing that I don't know how it got screwed up in teh first place? | 16:46 |
| oheric | Yeah sorry. Cheryl you may need Drivers for your mouse. | 16:47 |
| cheryl | but it was working fine without drivers...??? | 16:47 |
| trappist | cheryl: I wonder if you have a stuck key that's modifying the click events. bit of a wild guess really. | 16:47 |
| cheryl | that's possible, any idea how to find out? | 16:48 |
| beagleburt | <cheryl> - mayB try a nu Kbd? | 16:48 |
| trappist | oh you know what might be a better guess, that the clicks are sending double-clicks | 16:48 |
| beagleburt | nu mouse ? | 16:48 |
| trappist | sounds like what happens to me as my mice age... do you have another mouse to try as a troubleshooting step? | 16:49 |
| cheryl | will try new mouse...have lots | 16:49 |
| cheryl | hold on | 16:49 |
| beagleburt | BRB | 16:49 |
| beagleburt | G'day room | 16:50 |
| beagleburt | Any1 got any thorts on my original post rekaffeine on K-8.04LTS? | 16:51 |
| cheryl | trappist: new mouse, same problem; kbrd is new, too, although I haven't changed that, and kybrd was working fine anyway | 16:52 |
| trappist | no offense to anyone present, but I think I need to write an irssi plugin to auto-ignore people who spell like they're texting | 16:52 |
| Ash-Fox | Why doesn't Linux use the system clock? Instead it grabs the current time off the system clock when it boots and uses some weird math to keep it ticking and then synchs it back when it shuts down again. Why does it do this? | 16:54 |
| trappist | cheryl: I'm thinking... still sounds like it's doubleclicking, but it's obviously not a hardware problem... trying to think of a software problem that could cause it | 16:55 |
| cheryl | trappist: i think this is a problem with the OS and app software - not the hardware | 16:55 |
| beagleburt | <cheryl> - What distros? | 16:55 |
| cheryl | trappist: we're thinking alike :) | 16:55 |
| trappist | agreed | 16:55 |
| cheryl | beagleburt: using hardy | 16:56 |
| beagleburt | ok ta | 16:56 |
| cheryl | actually, i'm an experienced rebuilder...nic is for new user i'm giving this refurbished webserver to | 16:56 |
| cheryl | and it's wierd, with all my experience, i've never had/seen this issue b4, lol | 16:57 |
| trappist | cheryl: could you run xev, click once in it, and pastie the console output? | 16:57 |
| cheryl | !pastebin | 16:58 |
| ubottu | 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) | 16:58 |
| cheryl | trappist: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190967/ | 17:00 |
| trappist | cheryl: also maybe check out this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-x@lists.debian.org/msg70151.html | 17:00 |
| cheryl | that's quite the load of information :( | 17:01 |
| irvan | hi | 17:02 |
| irvan | all | 17:02 |
| trappist | cheryl: I don't see *any* click events in there | 17:03 |
| trappist | cheryl: you clicked in the window? | 17:04 |
| cheryl | which window? | 17:04 |
| trappist | the xev window when it was up | 17:05 |
| trappist | run xev from a console, put your mouse cursor in the xev window, click once or twice, quit and pastie | 17:05 |
| cheryl | trappist: sorry...lemme try again | 17:06 |
| trappist | cheryl: one possible cause, apparently, is having two stanzas in your xorg.conf for meeces | 17:07 |
| cheryl | trappist: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190973/...k will check out xorg.conf | 17:08 |
| trappist | cheryl: weird, I *still* don't see any click events in that output | 17:09 |
| beagleburt | Repeat Q. from over 30xmin ago: K-8.04LTS > Kaffeine plays 1st vid ok but then throws up "libdvdcss" problem > download & install file but Kaffeine refuses to play unless i reboot...? | 17:10 |
| cheryl | trappist: well, there most certainly were lots of mouse actions in this last pastebin | 17:10 |
| trappist | yes but no clicks | 17:10 |
| trappist | just movements | 17:10 |
| alexandre | ola a todos | 17:11 |
| cheryl | trappist: well, I know I did a few of those, too...but the output was very long, and I got as much of it as I could into pastebin | 17:11 |
| genii | !br | alexandre | 17:12 |
| ubottu | alexandre: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 17:12 |
| cheryl | trappist: hold on, I've modified xorg, will have to logout for a bit, will be back | 17:12 |
| trappist | cheryl: try "xev > output.txt" | 17:12 |
| trappist | ok | 17:12 |
| cheryl | hmm: 'xev > output.txt' , doing the events, and then closing xev got me: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0", followed by " after 28 requests (28 known processed) with 0 events remaining." | 17:14 |

| shadeslayer | heh..it just crashed again!! | 17:21 |
| acdd | I have 3 primary partitions on my current harddisc. is it possible to create a 4th, extended one and create a logical partition within that and install Ubuntu there? in other words, does Ubuntu boot from a logical partition? | 17:21 |
| trappist | cheryl: it should have produced a files called output.txt - you can open that in a text editor, select all and copy, for the pastebin | 17:21 |
| shadeslayer | acdd: no OS can boot from a logical partition i believe,or maybe im wrong | 17:21 |
| cheryl | trappist: problem fixed...had been following a howto for this aiw 7500 card, so commenting out 2 lines in xorg.conf has restored my mouse to the way it was :) | 17:22 |
| trappist | cheryl: awesome! | 17:22 |
| tsimpson | I'm sure grub can boot from a logical partition | 17:22 |
| acdd | alright, I guess I have to try that then. | 17:23 |
| cheryl | trappist: thank you...we go back a long way, ya know...that's why I listened to you right away: you're an awesome helper :) | 17:23 |
| trappist | cheryl: I think this was my once a day where somebody has an interesting problem and knows how to ask questions, so I can take a nap now :) | 17:23 |
| trappist | oh, thanks! | 17:23 |
| cheryl | so ur telling me i had an interesting problem and asked the question properly? | 17:23 |
| trappist | did you use a different nick before? 'cheryl' doesn't ring any bells | 17:23 |
| trappist | you did, and you did, it was a pleasure :) | 17:24 |
| tsimpson | acdd: grub is the boot loaded ubuntu uses, so just install as normal to the logical partition | 17:24 |
| cheryl | yes, I'm normally 'dennister' a reg nic...but this machine will be for a new linux user | 17:24 |
| cheryl | genii knows me personally...worked together for a brief time here in toronto | 17:24 |
| acdd | tsimpson: alright, thank you. | 17:24 |
| trappist | ah, gotcha | 17:25 |

| acdd | Canada rules =) | 17:25 |
| trappist | cheryl: so, you're not even a girl?? if I'd known that... j/k | 17:25 |
| cheryl | acdd: u a canuck, too? in tranna? | 17:25 |
| acdd | no... but I've been there and I liked it | 17:25 |
| acdd | anyway, thanks for your help :) | 17:25 |

| * shadeslayer keeps a eye on nepomuk | 17:31 | |
| acdd | do I have any disadvantage when using kubuntu instead of ubuntu? or are there maintained with equal effort, no one staying behind? | 17:31 |
| shadeslayer | acdd: both are equal in packages except for the DE | 17:31 |
| shadeslayer | acdd: you can even install gnome (ubuntu) on kubuntu (KDE) | 17:32 |
| trappist | acdd: they are both officially supported, and they both keep up to date with parent projects. but new initiatives sometimes have gnome support before they have kde support. | 17:32 |
| trappist | like, canonical just put something or other into beta, I forget the name of it, and I dropped out of the beta for lack of kde support | 17:33 |
| shadeslayer | acdd: always best to install gnome and kde so if one crashes (quite unlikely) you still have a DE and not a CLI interface :) | 17:34 |
| valgaav | shadeslayer: and if the crash is X releated ? :D | 17:35 |
| shadeslayer | ktorrent crashes for the third time and its out of my system | 17:36 |
| shadeslayer | valgaav: then we have the recovery console :) | 17:36 |
| Raven | Is there a way to use LEAP in Kubunut? I've tried setting up WPA PEAP with Equifax cert and it won't connect. | 17:36 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: i think there is a issue with WPA authentication | 17:37 |
| Raven | DOH | 17:37 |
| petsounds | hello, where can i add startup applications? thanks | 17:37 |
| shadeslayer | !startup | petsounds | 17:37 |
| ubottu | petsounds: To make programs start up automatically when you log into your KDE session, run all programs that you want to be started and close all other programs, then select 'Save Session' in the K menu. Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 17:37 |
| Raven | I'm on Ubuntu and I really like the look of Kubuntu but I need WPA to access my college's internet. No known works arounds shadeslayer? | 17:38 |
| silver | hi all | 17:38 |
| === silver is now known as Guest22971 | ||
| shadeslayer | Raven: please see the release notes for further info...i really dont have much on the above said issue :) | 17:38 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: you could use 8.10 :) | 17:39 |
| susbwoy | Raven: it's also only for wpa2 networks, wpa should work. | 17:39 |
| Raven | Shadeslayer: I could, the problem being I don't have a CD with me and I really wanted to start playing with it now lol. Can't install it, guess I'll have to wait. | 17:39 |
| Raven | Susbwoy: ya this is a WPA2 Business or whatever it is | 17:39 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: get one from shipit or download one | 17:40 |
| shadeslayer | oh...shipit wont send 8.10..doh.. | 17:41 |
| Raven | Shadeslayer: ya I know I can download it, I just don't have a blank CD on me and I wanted to play with it right now. Not a big issue though. 8.10 works though you believe? | 17:41 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: USB install :P... | 17:41 |
| acdd | shadeslayer, trappist: thank you :) so far I had major problems with my ATI graphics card (I bought an ATI one before I learned that it causes huge troubles on linux). do you think this is gnome related? or will the same happen on kde? | 17:41 |
| Raven | Shadeslayer: My laptop is FAIL and I can't set the BIOS to boot to USB :-( | 17:41 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: too bad :( | 17:42 |
| susbwoy | Raven: kubuntu 9.04 had some issues with the knetworkmanager, if you use gnome, wpa2 will work | 17:42 |
| shadeslayer | acdd: i think the issue is with ATI not giving proper drivers | 17:42 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: yep...you can use the gnome-network-manager | 17:42 |
| Raven | susbwoy: I know I'm on regular Ubuntu right now, but I liked Kubuntu for the KDE is just seems cleaner and quicker. | 17:42 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: quicker?? hahaha | 17:43 |
| Raven | Oh you mean use the gnome-network-manager? | 17:43 |
| Raven | shadeslayer: honestly it seems to boot quicker than ubuntu idk why. | 17:43 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: yes,instead of knetwork-manager | 17:43 |
| shadeslayer | Raven: 0_o | 17:43 |
| Raven | susbwoy shadeslayer: do you have to download gnome-network-manager through synaptic if so that won't work because I can't connect to the net. Another problem I'm having with Kubuntu is I try to plug in a ethernet cable and type in the netmask as 255.255.254.0 and it just goes to 0? SO I can't connect anyway through Kubuntu. | 17:44 |
| susbwoy | Raven: try using iphere/23 | 17:45 |
| Raven | susbwoy what's that? | 17:45 |
| susbwoy | Raven: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1/23 up | 17:46 |
| Raven | susbwoy it's a manual ip, is there a way to set up a manual ip through konsole? | 17:47 |

| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

| monolith | What the... This user account isn't in the group "audio" so it should be able to write to /dev/audio. Sure enough when I use su to login to the account and try to cat /dev/random to the audio device I get permision denied. But if I open up a new graphical login and login to KDE4 with it. I suddenly can play audio and output to /dev/audio. What on earth? | 18:38 |

| ole_ | Hi, I have a problem with twinview on my fully updated kubuntu 9.04. when maximizing a window it stretches over both screens is it possible to fix this? | 20:15 |
| darkmatter_ | absolutely nothing | 20:15 |
| jussi01 | Have yu updated? changed something? | 20:15 |
| darkmatter_ | the kbluetooth interface is not very helpful | 20:15 |
| declanpwalsh | Hello Kubunters! | 20:16 |
| darkmatter_ | the mouse is listed as "not-connected" and "not trusted" | 20:16 |
| jussi01 | hi declanpwalsh | 20:16 |
| darkmatter_ | i don't even get an interface for managing paired devices | 20:16 |
| declanpwalsh | Can anyone help with a sata hd access problem | 20:16 |
| declanpwalsh | Please? | 20:16 |
| jussi01 | declanpwalsh: please tell the issue. | 20:16 |
| jussi01 | darkmatter_: honestly, I dont know. Im sorry. | 20:17 |
| declanpwalsh | Basically got a nice new sata drive 250gb. Formatted to ext3 using gparted (can never get qtparted to work) and shows up in dolphin but I can't write to it. Need it as a backup drive | 20:17 |
| darkmatter_ | i tried removing the device and reinstalling the mouse, that worked temporarily but failed after the next reboot | 20:17 |
| un-ku | bdgraue: about the ppoe connection - this may be of help- http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3104277.0v | 20:18 |
| darkmatter_ | declanpwalsh: what's the output of mount? | 20:18 |
| declanpwalsh | darkmatter: huh? | 20:19 |
| jussi01 | !pppoe | 20:19 |
| ubottu | Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE | 20:19 |
| darkmatter_ | declanpwalsh: run the mount command in a terminal | 20:20 |
| darkmatter_ | the output should show wether the device is mounted as read-only | 20:21 |
| bdgraue | un-ku: i dont know if this is the right thing for me, sry | 20:21 |
| tonii | !dailup | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dailup | 20:21 |
| tonii | !dialup | 20:22 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 20:22 |
| tonii | ah, the same | 20:22 |
| declanpwalsh | /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 20:22 |
| declanpwalsh | /dev/sdb2 on /media/disk-2 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 20:22 |
| darkmatter_ | which is the disk? | 20:23 |
| declanpwalsh | both are. It's partitioned into 2 | 20:23 |
| darkmatter_ | can you write to it as root? | 20:23 |
| declanpwalsh | darkmatter: full output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/191085/ | 20:25 |
| declanpwalsh | haven't tried. hang on | 20:25 |
| declanpwalsh | typed sudo dolphin and something went wrong. session ended. something about ksmserver | 20:27 |
| hftom | hi all, just installed kubuntu 9.04 on an old laptop with intel 82845G. kdm works fine, but when the user X session is started, all i can see is the kdm background image. alt+f1 shows kickoff, alt+f2 shows krunner, and all apps seems to work fine. Except that plasma looks 100% transparent! Any idea? | 20:27 |
| declanpwalsh | managed to write to the disk as root though. why would i need root access? | 20:28 |
| darkmatter_ | try "sudo echo 1234 > /media/disk-1/file" | 20:28 |
| declanpwalsh | $ sudo echo 1234 > /media/disk-1/file | 20:29 |
| declanpwalsh | bash: /media/disk-1/file: Permission denied | 20:29 |
| darkmatter_ | declanpwalsh: sudo parted -l | 20:33 |
| declanpwalsh | what does that do? | 20:34 |
| darkmatter_ | lists the partition table | 20:34 |
| declanpwalsh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/191094/ | 20:35 |
| declanpwalsh | is that good or bad? why is it readonly? | 20:40 |
| declanpwalsh | thanks for helping btw! | 20:40 |
| darkmatter_ | that's the floppy drive | 20:40 |
| darkmatter_ | well i don't seem to be of much help | 20:40 |
| darkmatter_ | nothing looks out of the ordinary | 20:41 |
| darkmatter_ | did qtparted return an error when you tried to run it? | 20:41 |
| declanpwalsh | nope. just nothing happened. | 20:42 |
| declanpwalsh | whats the floppy? Cos I don't have one. | 20:42 |
| declanpwalsh | any pointers as to where to look for some help? Thanks very much for having a go! | 20:43 |
| tomsdale | how can I override the dns resolution for one particular address? /etc/hosts doesn'T seem to work | 20:44 |
| darkmatter_ | tomsdale: you may need to restart networking after adding an entry | 20:44 |
| tomsdale | darkmatter_: thanks - brb | 20:45 |
| darkmatter_ | declanpwalsh: try repartitioning the disk | 20:45 |
| declanpwalsh | darkmatter: cool, thanks! | 20:45 |
| declanpwalsh | darkmatter: thanks for the help; really appreciate it. | 20:46 |
| darkmatter_ | this doesn't help my poor mouse | 20:46 |
| tomsdale | how do I restart the wireless. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't seem to do the trick | 20:47 |
| darkmatter_ | tomsdale: that should do it | 20:48 |

| tomsdale | darkmatter_: the browsers seem to ignore the /etc/hosts they all resolv via opendns ... | 21:01 |
| darkmatter_ | tomsdale: you can ping the host? | 21:02 |
| tomsdale | yes - on the cl it works. | 21:02 |
| darkmatter_ | check the order of the dns entries | 21:03 |
| tomsdale | in the /etc/hosts or in the /etc/resolv.conf | 21:03 |
| darkmatter_ | resolv.conf | 21:04 |
| tomsdale | it says nameserver 192.168.1.1 - let me try to add 127.0.0.1 behind that | 21:05 |
| darkmatter_ | tomsdale: infront | 21:05 |
| tomsdale | yes :-) | 21:05 |
| ubuntu | hi everyone | 21:10 |
| ubuntu | im running a live cd just checking out the support befor i commit to this and get some info | 21:12 |
| ubuntu | witch is the bet distro for a new user like me with no clue as im a windows user | 21:13 |
| jean_pierre_cz | well ubuntu, you're chatting at the right channel apparently | 21:15 |
| jean_pierre_cz | I would recommend kubuntu | 21:16 |
| jean_pierre_cz | However ubuntu is not bad at all neither | 21:16 |
| ubuntu | is that becouse im in ubuntu chat:) i have herd that g-nome is much beter but like i sead im new to all this | 21:18 |
| ahmad_ | ubuntu: u can run both Gnome and KDE | 21:19 |
| ubuntu | with the same program if that makes any sence to you | 21:19 |
| ubuntu | why is there someny people in here but very little chatter at all | 21:20 |
| Daniel_online | I used to run gnome - but after i tried kde im hoooocked :D | 21:21 |
| ubuntu | so witch wuld be the best linux for me this is ubuntu but i know there are loads more | 21:22 |
| tomsdale | I don't think the address 127.0.0.1 works because I don't have a dns server on my machine. | 21:22 |
| ahmad_ | ubuntu: only u can decide what is best for u. but most windows users start with kubuntu | 21:23 |
| drbobb | hello, how do I browse a bluetooth-enabled phone in kde4? | 21:25 |
| === phenom_ is now known as phenom__ | ||
| ubuntu | will it help if i tell you whot i wont to use it for | 21:26 |
| drbobb | actually, how do I do anything at all with bluetooth in kde4? It used to be easy and smooth in kde3, nowadays nothing works at all | 21:28 |
| drbobb | ok, I guess the answer is probably -- logout and log back but into gnome | 21:32 |
| gabriel_ | hello all I'm running kubuntu/ubuntu 9.04 on an acer aspire 4730z and cannot get to my sd-card for storage. can anyone help? | 21:38 |
| gabriel_ | must I make a new device? | 21:38 |
| drbobb | ok so it seems I figured out how to upload stuff from my phone to my pc, but I was given no opportunity to choose a location to save it, so I have no idea where it went | 21:40 |
| drbobb | uh it only worked once, I try to upload another file, but nothing happens | 21:42 |
| kaddi | hello everyone :) | 21:45 |
| Serpardum | how do I chage the width of a Konsole? In 1440x900 mode my konsole is okay. In 1360x768 mode it's the width of the entire window. Lots of characters I don't need that wide and it hides everythign under it | 21:49 |
| drbobb | ok this bluetooth stuff in kde4 sucks really badly | 21:50 |
| drbobb | maybe better luck with gnome | 21:50 |
| laslavic | Just installed Kubuntu 9.04 and want to know how to install my printer. In the past, I didn't have to do anything at all. Went to the "Printer Configuration" in the kmenu and then went to "Add new printer" but it only has options for network printers. | 21:51 |
| laslavic | Is there another way that I should know about? It's just a regular USB printer. | 21:51 |
| Serpardum | n/m I can resize the window. maybe kubuntu keeps window sizes for each resolution | 21:53 |
| uga | laslavic: you don't see your printer under "local printers"? | 21:55 |
| uga | laslavic: you're right in that there's no option to add local printers | 21:55 |
| uga | I see mine there, but possibly comes from older settings | 21:55 |
| uga | either that, or there's an autodetect method =) | 21:55 |

| lee8oi | uga: whats giving you those messages? you using ssh, ping or something? | 22:08 |
| uga | lee8oi: it's the errors freenode reports when users leave the channel | 22:09 |
| lee8oi | oh | 22:09 |
| uga | right now for example WB2Colorado left with: Read error: 104 (connection reset by peer) | 22:09 |
| uga | anyway, glad to know somebody is alive =) | 22:09 |
| lee8oi | something with freenode, or your client's conflict with freenode? | 22:09 |
| lee8oi | ya I'm alive | 22:10 |
| lee8oi | wait a min...I'm on freenode? | 22:10 |
| lee8oi | hmm. ok | 22:10 |
| lee8oi | I'm seeing the errors too | 22:10 |
| lee8oi | when someone quits | 22:11 |
| lee8oi | (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) | 22:11 |
| uga | yes, I was worried that everyone was quitting, and nobody typing. That's rather strange in this channel | 22:11 |
| lee8oi | thats odd. never seen that before | 22:11 |
| uga | and the last two users I tried helping out, both went mute ;) | 22:12 |
| lee8oi | wonder if its something messed up in the away code on the server | 22:12 |
| uga | keyboard support bug in jaunty? ;) | 22:12 |
| lee8oi | idling or something | 22:12 |

| lee8oi | keyboard support bug? haven't had any problems with keyboards in jaunty.... | 22:13 |
| lee8oi | whoop. gotta meet the woman for dinner......be back later | 22:13 |

| ign0ramus | LuisJa, if you do "sudo reboot", does that shut down properly? or even "sudo shutdown -P now" ? | 22:55 |
| LuisJa | hate when peoples do that... | 22:56 |
| LuisJa | ign0ramus: with reboot, the laptop correctly shut downs | 22:57 |
| LuisJa | and then turns on :) | 22:57 |
| ign0ramus | LuisJa, and the "shutdown" command works? | 22:57 |

| Serpardum | Hey, I somehow closed that part of the... bottom bar... that shows what windows are open. How do I readd it? | 23:27 |
| eMyller | anyone? | 23:30 |
| ign0ramus | LuisJa, obviously, something is going wrong with the 'shutdown' command, which is an ACPI call when you hit the power button | 23:31 |
| ign0ramus | LuisJa, still trying to figure out what that is... what are the errors it gives? | 23:31 |
| ign0ramus | Serpardum, right click, add panel | 23:32 |
| Serpardum | kay, then what do I do with the panel? Or is that it? | 23:32 |
| ign0ramus | Serpardum, oh, just the window manager section of the panel? | 23:32 |
| Serpardum | yeah, I got the other stuff | 23:32 |
| Serpardum | I just somehow got rid of the part I can click on the window tabs | 23:33 |
| ign0ramus | Serpardum, oh, it's just a widget... lemme see what it's called | 23:33 |
| joshjtl | where can I tell konqueror to use webkit instead of khtml? | 23:33 |
| ign0ramus | Serpardum, add Task Manager | 23:33 |
| Serpardum | thansk it! thanks! | 23:34 |
| ign0ramus | Serpardum, np :) | 23:34 |
| Serpardum | Hmm.. now I gotta figure out how to move the widgets around in the panel :D | 23:34 |
| ign0ramus | Serpardum, click the swirl at the far right, and the you can drag stuff around | 23:34 |
| bjb1959 | everytime I reboot I loose sound on all apps except system sounds. I have to log out log into gnome, log out and then log in to kde again to get it to work. any idea why? | 23:34 |
| Serpardum | ahh, thanks, yeah | 23:35 |
| ign0ramus | LuisJa, without any extra input from you, it may be your wireless that's causing the shutdown hang | 23:40 |
| ign0ramus | LuisJa, try doing “sudo ifconfig wlan0 down” and then doing "sudo shutdown -P now" ... see if that makes a difference | 23:41 |
