[00:00] right [00:00] katoda, Thanks. It would sure be nice if KPackageKit showed what PPA caused a particular package or update listing. [00:00] togetic: Does your /usr/sbin/update-openoffice-dicts exist, to begin with? [00:01] togetic: also, have you tried simply renaming your home folder to something else and have your DE recreate its files? [00:01] one sec, need to chown into the system since i'm using a live cd atm [00:01] just mount it :) [00:03] right [00:03] but to use apt-get i'll need to chown [00:04] I imagine you mean chroot, but yeah, point taken [00:04] re [00:04] does anybody with kde 4.3beta2 confirm disappearing of restart icon (K->Leave->Restart)? [00:04] I mean chroot [00:05] and i am chrooted so... let's look for the file [00:05] right, /usr/sbin/update-openoffice-dicts [00:06] Zorael: no, the file doesn't exist [00:06] i used locate and looked myself [00:06] i haven't tried renaming it [00:06] it == my home folder [00:07] how would the DE recreate the files, you might have to explain that one a little further [00:07] first of all, do you have the dictionaries-common package installed? (apt-cache policy dictionaries-common) [00:09] * tr_hawk waves goodbye [00:09] katoda: No, I have the icon and I'm on 4.3b2 [00:09] Zorael: no i don't [00:09] needed? [00:10] Zorael: and do you have "administrator mode" in kde system settings? [00:11] do i need dictionaries-common or dictionaries-common-dev? [00:11] togetic: well, iirc the package that refused to configure was an openoffice package, and openoffice seems to depend on that dictionaries-common, so seems like a broken dependency. try installing it; sudo aptitude install dictionaries-common [00:11] katoda: No, been missing for quite a while, I think? [00:12] Zorael: AFAIR in 4.2 it was availible [00:13] katoda: Maybe, I've been running it with kdesu for quite a while though [00:13] Zorael: ok, nvm, i want my restart icon back! ~~ ;-) [00:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/193065/ [00:14] Zorael ^ [00:14] and anyone else willing to help ^ [00:15] togetic: sudo aptitude reinstall openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us dictionaries-common+ [00:16] (last + important) [00:17] what does the plus sign do? [00:18] that worked whatever it was [00:18] it installs dictionaries-common and reinstalls openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us [00:18] interesting [00:18] quite! [00:19] now i can't even recall why i needed apt to work :P [00:19] anywho, need kdm fixed now i suppose [00:19] for your WM, do you get as far as to the login screen? [00:19] maybe it has to do w/ permission [00:19] kdm is as far as i get [00:19] and i can login through a tty screen, but no X [00:19] ..i think.. [00:19] kdm, as in the greeter, right? [00:19] let me reboot into the machine to find out [00:20] si senor [00:20] yes [00:20] Anyway, try creating another user [00:20] i could use one of the several already there right? [00:20] i haven't tried them yet [00:20] will reboot now [00:20] if the permissions of your home directory is botched (though we fixed /home itself earlier), creating a new one should make it work for him/her/it [00:21] Several already there? o.0 [00:21] Zorael: I'm here :P [00:21] give me my restart icon back! :D [00:21] katoda: It's mine now! [00:22] * Zorael runs off, laughing hysterically [00:22] Zorael: you have stolen it from me! [00:22] * katoda thinks how it happens [00:23] * katoda doesn't use IE though [00:23] katoda: Tried reinstalling the icon packages? sudo aptitude reinstall kde-icons-oxygen kdeartwork-theme-icon [00:24] i need help with this codecs i just down loaded. [00:24] don't have kdeartwork-theme-icon installed :P [00:24] maybe it'll help [00:25] perhaps it's something I installed, omit it [00:25] Zorael: maybe it'll help ;) [00:25] Ah, yeah, it's a part of the kdeartwork bundle [00:25] katoda: can't hurt :3 [00:26] Zorael: can you locate somehow the path of the icon? [00:27] katoda: hum. [00:27] Zorael: got it [00:28] katoda: Ah, cheers [00:28] . /usr/share/icons/oxygen/64x64/actions/system-restart.png [00:28] but it still doesn't show [00:28] can anyone help me please [00:28] I think it is something in config [00:28] It's supposed to be named system-reboot.png [00:28] katoda: so reinstall the package [00:28] terettes15: what happened [00:28] Zorael: I've done this [00:29] mmkay, then make a symbolic link. :3 "ln -s //usr/share/icons/oxygen/64x64/actions/system-restart.png /usr/share/icons/oxygen/64x64/actions/system-reboot.png" [00:29] i dl this codecs and it opened up on wine now i cant close it out [00:29] Zorael: alright, so... any other use can login except for my own [00:29] s/use/user* [00:29] Zorael: I have kde-icons-oxygen from 4.2.4 [00:29] Sorry; "ln -s /usr/share/icons/oxygen/64x64/actions/system-restart.png /usr/share/icons/oxygen/64x64/actions/system-reboot.png" [00:29] yap [00:29] togetic: Yeah, so something wrong with the permissions of your home dir [00:30] terettes15: what codec? [00:30] so what i would like to know is how to, after creating a new user... transfer all my files to that user's home [00:30] brb [00:30] Zorael: karmic // jaunty? [00:30] katoda: Jaunty [00:30] with 4.3b2 from ppas [00:30] Zorael: what version of kde-icons-oxygen do you have? [00:30] its a avsvideo converter [00:31] katoda: Regardless, yours is named system-restart, right? And it doesn't show for you. [00:31] I have 4.2.4, not 4.2.90 [00:31] katoda: Mine is system-reboot, and shows. [00:31] 4.2.85 [00:31] so, instead of creating a new user, maybe we can try figuring out what's wrong with the permissions [00:31] togetic: can you create files in your home dir now? [00:32] Zorael: i can create files [00:32] to be precise its avs video converter6.2 [00:32] togetic: can you navigate into directories? like, cd ~/.kde? [00:33] Zorael: yes [00:33] but again, my paths are screwed, and for each screen i have to "export PATH=/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" [00:34] ah, right [00:34] Does anyone know if there a foss alterantive to the nvidia drivers? [00:34] Shadoze: yes, but for their drivers work better [00:34] unfortunately [00:35] -"for" [00:35] togetic: You do have a PATH defined in /etc/environment, I assume? [00:35] Zorael: which kde ppa do You use [00:35] sure, and i have them set in .bashrc [00:35] In what way? Better 3d support ect..? [00:35] oh wait [00:35] nm [00:36] no i don't will have to do that [00:36] anywho, so that's resolved [00:36] now... user permissions [00:36] well, my .bashrc doesn't have any PATH definitions, either [00:36] btw, i can't think you enough for taking the time to help me Zorael [00:36] Shadoze: what's wrong in binary nvidia drivers? [00:36] I just inherit from /etc/environment [00:36] (et al) [00:36] :3 [00:36] i don't know why it's not inheriting them [00:37] * togetic may go for a good game of open arena after this one [00:37] katoda: I use a bunch, not really sure what's from which, heh [00:37] The less closed source blobs i have on my system the better, i was curious into the alteratives [00:38] togetic: I imagine you can read files from your home dir, as well? I mean, cat ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals [00:38] Shadoze: the drawing of the graphics is much better all around w/ the nvidia drivers [00:38] Sadly i didn't buy the pc i'm using so i didn't get to choose it's hardware either :S [00:38] yup [00:38] Zorael ^ [00:39] togetic: Can you write into /tmp? [00:39] Zorael: zw, I'll try to relog [00:39] Zorael: yes [00:39] i need to close something out but its not letting me closeitout [00:39] I'd try renaming .kde to .kde-backup, and let kdm recreate its settings. [00:40] alright [00:40] Hmm, that's sad to hear :( [00:40] togetic: If it works, then you at least have a DE running [00:40] I mean KDE recreate its settings* [00:41] Zorael: I have my icon back :) [00:41] * katoda thanks Zorael for his help :) [00:41] katoda: There you go :3 [00:41] Zorael: i did that and it still went back to the login screen [00:42] togetic: So you get to the login screen, log in, and then it returns you back to it? [00:42] right [00:42] and this is with .kde renamed? [00:42] right, Zorael [00:43] nevermind i got it [00:43] is anyone able to help me figure out how to run a canon imageCLASS d760 printer in linux (even with base-functionality), with no linux-drivers built for the device? [00:43] there is.. [00:43] ~/.kd4 [00:43] ~/.kde4 [00:43] i should rename that === LoreCaster_Nappi is now known as LoreCaster [00:43] togetic: which release are you running? [00:43] same results [00:44] hmm, lsb_release says 'no lsb modules available' [00:44] jaunty [00:44] i upgraded about 2 weeks ago [00:45] LoreCaster_Nappi: won't be possible [00:45] does kdm have a log? [00:45] togetic: /var/log/kdm.log [00:45] LoreCaster: there is no info about such printer in openprinting.org, what means it doesn't work [00:45] togetic: and Xorg.0.log [00:45] right, i had found it [00:46] nothing there so far [00:46] togetic: well, something is making it crash or otherwise log out. *I* would try to migrate your settings over to a new user, since you said that only your user seems borked somehow [00:47] right [00:47] but would i just do cp -r ~/.kde* /home/newuser [00:47] togetic: starting by copying the whole .kde folder [00:47] after creating it [00:47] i'll try that [00:47] togetic: cp -rv /home/olduser/.kde /home/newuser [00:48] togetic: add the v to get it to be verbose and show you that it's actually doing stuff [00:48] and [00:48] you'll need to change ownership after that [00:48] togetic: sudo chown newuser:group /home/newuser/.kde -rv [00:48] sorry; -Rv [00:51] chown invalid option --r [00:51] invalid option -- 'r' [00:51] ** [00:51] it doesn't understand -r [00:52] Zorael ^ [00:52] make it capital R, so -Rv [00:53] ah, too late [00:54] i already did 'sudo mv ~/.kde* /home/newuser' [00:54] guess i need to change the permissions so that the new user can access the files... [00:54] togetic: Well, works too, though you won't have a backup [00:54] togetic: yeah, sudo chown newuser:group /home/newuser/.kde -Rv [00:56] done [00:56] now i need to add the new user to the sudoers [00:56] Hello all !

[00:57] I'd like all the space to be one one place [00:57] sorries :P [00:57] carolija: have you tried fdisk yet? mk.ext2 -j [00:57] both HDD to put into one basically [00:58] mkfs.ext2* [00:58] er, mkfs.ext3 [00:58] togetic, no i didn't coz i didnt know about it [00:58] hello evrybody [00:58] i type it like this : mk.ext2 -j ?

[01:00] carolija: oh, okay, make a backup if you are inclined to do so because you are about wipe your disk, then do sudo fdisk /dev/, use 'd' to delete any partitions you have on the drive, then do w and hit enter through all the prompts to write to the entire hdd, not sure if you are wanting to boot from the partition, but if you are, you will need to make it bootable in fdisk as well, write your changes using "w" and quit, then you do mkfs.ext3 [01:01] gracias Zorael [01:02] togetic, Okay ill do that [01:02] thank you, so it's not so easy [01:02] like i think of [01:05] carolija: it's easy the more you do it, just like compiling a kernel :) === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:05] togetic, am i lose all data what I have ? [01:05] carolija: yes [01:05] damn [01:06] i must ? [01:06] there is no other way to put the movies and music on same safe place ? [01:06] because there is a lot :| [01:06] you can copy them [01:06] move them [01:06] where ? [01:06] How many partiions do you hav? [01:07] *partiions [01:07] grrr. partitions [01:07] Just Volume (ext3) [01:07] so what is this little here little there you were talking about? [01:07] and wan i click on it he ask for password [01:07] different folders? [01:08] i hate that one too lol [01:08] yes [01:08] diferent folders [01:08] togetic: I'm off, good luck. [01:08] Oh, then don't partition [01:08] they are like same, but diferent data is in it [01:08] yes. folders keep data seperate, easier to find [01:08] for example if I made into /home/ dir movies [01:08] music goes in like /user/me/music etc.. [01:08] right [01:08] those are called "folders" [01:09] Now, what is the difficulty you are having with your folders? [01:09] i will see the /home/movies/ into Volume (etc3) also but without movies , just the folder [01:09] mkdir just maks the directory [01:09] then you have to copy or move the files [01:09] mv soemfolder/* /home/movies/ [01:09] that will move them [01:10] copy woudl be: cp somefolder/* /home/movies [01:10] sometimes it's better to copy and delete and then move [01:10] er, than move [01:10] ok [01:10] wow, I just can't talk today [01:11] the main problem is that i want all the space to be in one place i don't need little bit in here and little bit in there [01:11] what i told you about mkdir [01:12] that happening in my deafault /home/ and i see the same folder in other HDD but with no files in it [01:12] so i don't need that other HDD to be separated [01:13] Zorael: so after doing sudo mv ~/.* /home/newuser and then doing sudo chown newuser:newuser /home/newuser/.* -Rv i have the same problem of logging into that user using kdm [01:13] i'd jkust like to use all space in /home/ directories [01:13] if you understand me now ?

Yes I can ping localhost. responds with 127.0.0.1 [01:49] I can also ping the hostname I put in the /etc/hosts but all kde apps seem to just ignore it. [01:49] Then /etc/hosts must be working, because that is where 'localhost' is defined. [01:50] when you ping the manually entered hostnames do you get responses from the expected IP addys? [01:51] yes, I just added a bogus name behind IP and it responds also. Everything seems fine with the base system, just not the desktop apps. [01:52] Which apps are not behaving as expected? What are you inputting? [01:52] background is that I need to recover a hacked website adminpanel which has been blacklisted. But I can't access a vhost by it's IP address. It needs the domain name to respond. [01:53] with blacklisted I mean it has been marked by google and removed from all DNS server I know.

I had problems on NVidia as well but rolled back a version and since then it'S stable [02:28] yes [02:31] TBH I don't know how drivers work in intel land. I thought they were included in Xorg [02:34] I think I read there was some sort of update on the way which is supposed to fix a lot of intel issues. [02:36] hopefully that fixes it! thanks!

I'm running jaunty and kde4. I've removed the kicker panel along the bottom of the desktop in error but panel help does not offer a clue how to restore it. Can anyone offer any suggestionS? eg where in help to look for something like this or better yet has anyone had to do this before? [03:13] its a plasma widget [03:15] right click, add widget [03:15] simple work around mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.old the restart the desktop [03:15] er, add panel then add widets to it? one of those [03:16] you lose all settings that way oobe [03:16] yeah i know [03:16] oooh, I have a ~/.kde/Autostart? cool [03:17] pulaski, if you dont have the panel, right click on desktop and add panel, then right click on panel and add widget to add all the widgets back if necessary [03:21] Zorix: Thanks for responding. I have a panel to which I can applets but I can' put applications on it. I understand icons to run applications can only appear on the "Kicker" panel. I need to make the panel behave like the Kicker panel. [03:25] right click on application and select add to panel [03:32] could someone do me a favor? please open konsole, start a screen session, open emacs -nw, and press ctrl-left [03:32] does it output funny characters? [03:35] Zorix: Thanks I've solved my problem. It seems it the panel appears on the bottom portion of the desktop that seems to designae it as the "Kicker" panel. This must be true becaues I can add and remove applications as well as applets from it. [03:35] no, ikt tells me emacs is not installed :D [03:36] let me install emacs [03:36] Problem solve. Goodnight for now. [03:38] I run emacs -nw I press ctrl-left arrow and it just jumps to top/left corner [03:38] it goes to the start of hte previous word [03:38] although I never loaded a file [03:39] nwo I have to remember how to exit emacs :/ [03:39] got it [03:40] hmm [03:40] that's not the problem I'm having [03:41] when I do it, it outputs the text "5D" [03:41] *shrug* [03:41] sounds like it's screwed up for you [03:41] yes but I want to fix it [03:41] why don't you uninstall emacs and resinstall it? [03:41] I think the problem is screen [03:41] because it doesn't happen when emacs is run outside of a screen session [03:42] define "screen session"? [03:42] ah... before you enter emacs in the konsole, do the command "screen" [03:42] I don't know what a screen session is so maybe I didn't do it [03:43] then type emacs -nw [03:43] now ctrl-left does nothing for me [03:43] but you don't get the 5D? [03:44] 5D where? [03:44] entered into the emacs window [03:44] I never loaded a file [03:44] oh, wait ^5d? [03:44] what all do i need to do to get flash working with konquerer? I downloaded and ran flashplugin-installer. Do i need to turn on javascript? [03:44] is it ^5D or soemthing [03:44] on mine it's just 5D [03:44] with no caret [03:44] I think that screen mode isn't handeling the ctrl-left, so it's accepted as character scan codes [03:45] which happen to be 5D [03:45] since I don't have any editing going on, I dont see them, emacs ignore them [03:45] you'd be in a scratch buffer [03:45] so if it was producing them you would see them [03:45] I have the help text on line [03:45] "Welcome to GNU Emacs..." etc.. [03:46] well try ctrl-x b, then type *scratch* [03:46]
