| Dragnslcr | sebbar- the error about forking? | 00:22 |
| sebbar | Dragnslcr: yo that should be it | 00:23 |
| sebbar | Dragnslcr: any way to get rid of it? | 00:23 |
| Dragnslcr | It's fixed in 4.2.4. Can't remember if it was fixed in 4.2.3 | 00:23 |
| Peti | Hi, I'm having some troubles with the NVIDIA 180 graphics driver. After installed, Kubuntu randomly freezes. Just a couple weeks ago, before I reinstalled Kubuntu, someone sent me a link to instructions of downloading and installing an updated NVIDIA driver that fixed this problem perfectly. Does anyone know that driver and how to apply it? | 00:25 |
| sebbar | Dragnslcr: is that the kde version? cause I'm running 4.3 beta... but I thought the update thing wasn't part of kde? | 00:25 |

| erpabro | hola | 00:29 |
| mubu | darkmatter how does that work? | 00:30 |
| darkmatter_ | locate <filename> | 00:30 |
| mubu | darkmatter, but what if i dont know the exact filename? | 00:31 |
| darkmatter_ | mubu: a part of it will do | 00:31 |
| darkmatter_ | you may need to update the database first | 00:31 |

| darkmatter_ | mubu: good to hear | 00:33 |
| mubu | Though i find it ridiculous that the gui search function does not support searching within multiple drives, or atleast not without any trickery. | 00:33 |
| darkmatter_ | which gui search? | 00:33 |

| darkmatter_ | i prefer locate because it's instant | 00:34 |
| FloridaGuy | sebbar, not looking for awn.......need for kde 4.2.4 | 00:35 |
| darkmatter_ | someone should write a gui frontend for locate | 00:35 |

| PovAddict | I'm using Kubuntu Hardy, with KDE3.5 | 00:36 |
| mubu | in ubuntu, dont know about kubuntu.. | 00:36 |
| PovAddict | and compiz | 00:36 |
| sebbar | FloridaGuy: sorry dont get it...whats your problem? | 00:36 |
| PovAddict | looks like upgrading past hardy will simply get rid of KDE3 and replace it with KDE4 | 00:36 |
| PovAddict | hardy has an old KDE4 available though... any suggestions to "progressively" upgrade so I can slowly get used to it? | 00:37 |
| darkmatter_ | mubu: ok, there's a find function in dolphin too but i've never tried it | 00:37 |
| PovAddict | also, if I install, say, kopete-kde4, will it migrate my settings from my current 3.5 kopete? and if I upgrade to hardy+1 (whatever it's called), will it keep the settings too? | 00:38 |

| sebbar | FloridaGuy: yeah, copy the stuff I wrote above in a konsole and hit enter :) | 00:39 |
| PovAddict | I don't want to be stuck on an ancient version forever :( | 00:40 |
| FloridaGuy | sebbar, worked....srry about that...it said awn...so i thought you was giving me something for awn | 00:40 |
| Ahmuck | how do you close a "less sometext.txt" window in the terminal ? | 00:41 |
| kde185 | Are there any PPA's that I can use to install a beta of KDE 4.3 alongside the default 4.2? Or do I need to use SVN? | 00:41 |

| FloridaGuy | sebbar, ok..... now kubuntu-desktop installing | 00:44 |
| PovAddict | I'm in Kubuntu Hardy; if I install, say, kopete-kde4, will it migrate settings/accounts from my current 3.5 kopete? | 00:44 |

| PovAddict | FloridaGuy: because I don't want to become useless for a week while I get used to KDE4 | 00:46 |
| PovAddict | I'd like to upgrade "progressively" :) | 00:47 |
| FloridaGuy | ok | 00:47 |
| darkmatter_ | PovAddict: kopete-kde4 will not replace kopete from kde3 | 00:47 |
| PovAddict | darkmatter_: I know it won't replace | 00:47 |
| PovAddict | but will it take the kde3 settings or do I have to configure everything from scratch? | 00:47 |
| darkmatter_ | if i remember correctly, the 2 versions of kde use different directories | 00:47 |
| PovAddict | yep | 00:48 |
| darkmatter_ | .kde and .kde4? | 00:48 |
| PovAddict | but is there any setting migration between them? | 00:48 |
| darkmatter_ | PovAddict: is it really that difficult to recreate your accounts? | 00:49 |
| PovAddict | not for kopete | 00:49 |
| PovAddict | but if every other app will do the same... | 00:49 |
| darkmatter_ | depends on what you use | 00:50 |
| PovAddict | kopete, konversation (afaik there's no version for kde4 yet), kmail, akregator, konqueror (I want my bookmarks!) | 00:50 |
| jared555 | is it possible to look at the most up to date versions of packages available for various releases of kubuntu/ubuntu? | 00:51 |
| darkmatter_ | konversation is replaced with quassel | 00:51 |
| PovAddict | yeah so I don't mind having to set up my networks in quassel if it doesn't migrate from konversation | 00:52 |
| darkmatter_ | it doesn't | 00:52 |
| PovAddict | but that *and* configuring email *and* manually migrating RSS feeds *and* manually migrating bookmarks *and* configure kopete... no thanks | 00:52 |
| coz_ | anyone here running compiz ? | 00:55 |
| Dragnslcr | PovAddict- there are packages for the KDE4 version of Konversation | 00:58 |
| PovAddict | I won't take extra effort to install that | 00:59 |
| PovAddict | I think my question is pretty simple: do KDE4 apps read KDE3 settings (on first start or whatever)? | 00:59 |
| darkmatter_ | PovAddict: i think it's safe to assume they don't | 01:00 |

| PovAddict | hmm that sounds interesting, however, I'd like a way to rollback :) | 01:09 |
| PovAddict | should do a full backup before upgrading, I guess | 01:10 |
| Walzmyn | PovAddict: just copy all your config files somewhere safe | 01:10 |
| Walzmyn | Anybody know how i can get the network manager to connect to my wireless without me feeding it the password every freaking time? this is really anoying | 01:10 |
| PovAddict | I have an external disk 10x bigger than the one with OS and /home | 01:10 |
| PovAddict | so I *can* do a full backup | 01:11 |
| Walzmyn | PovAddict: that should work :) | 01:11 |
| PovAddict | even more, my "main disk" (140GB) is divided in Ubuntu (40GB!) and Windoze (100GB) | 01:11 |
| PovAddict | I didn't give it enough space when I first installed Ubuntu :) | 01:12 |

| darkmatter_ | PovAddict: why not 9.04? | 01:21 |
| PovAddict | darkmatter_: because I have 8.04 and upgrade works one version step at a time | 01:21 |
| darkmatter_ | 8.10 was incomplete in my opinion | 01:21 |
| darkmatter_ | things like bluetooth were broken | 01:22 |
| PovAddict | bluetooth is "broken" on my machine, in a way | 01:22 |

| bazhang | jillsmitt, are you using the open source or the propietary drivers; that seems to be the main issue (ie you should use the open source for that card) | 11:49 |
| bazhang | err proprietary | 11:49 |
| jillsmitt | bazhang: i use only from installation 904 drivers | 11:49 |
| jillsmitt | i mean i just install my kubuntu | 11:49 |
| jillsmitt | from 700 CD | 11:50 |
| === edulix_ is now known as Edulix | ||
| bazhang | jillsmitt, from hardware drivers? ie the non-open source ones? | 11:50 |
| jillsmitt | bazhang: i guess there is no proprietary drivers after CD-installed | 11:51 |
| jillsmitt | it good, fast & i dont use compiz, but lines on windows... | 11:52 |
| bazhang | what does fgl_glxgears show in konsole | 11:53 |
| jillsmitt | its not installed yet | 11:53 |
| jillsmitt | this is new driver pack? | 11:54 |
| bazhang | so no fglrx then | 11:54 |
| jillsmitt | ok, they must tell it in welcome screen or something | 11:55 |
| jillsmitt | bazhang: E: Couldn't find package fgl_glxgears | 11:56 |
| bazhang | jillsmitt, what about pasting a screenshot to imagebin | 11:57 |
| bazhang | !imagebin | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add and link it from the channel. | 11:57 |
| jillsmitt | bazhang: lines of window or terminal lines?) | 11:58 |
| jillsmitt | E: Couldn't find package fgl_glxgears - why? | 11:58 |
| bazhang | jillsmitt, err sorry | 11:59 |
| bazhang | just type fgl_glxgears in terminal (dont apt-get it) | 11:59 |
| bazhang | jillsmitt, the window lines | 12:00 |
| jillsmitt | bazhang: The program 'fgl_glxgears' is currently not installed | 12:00 |
| bazhang | jillsmitt, so you must be using the radeonhd then (open source driver) | 12:00 |
| jillsmitt | what the package name? | 12:00 |
| jillsmitt | ok | 12:00 |

| makuseru | Should i reboot? | 13:36 |

| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: ide == integrated drive electronics, | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: its a common mistake, you mean parallel ata when you say ide | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: old drives had no controller on them and relied solely on the controller for control, Thats why your drive has a few mb cache | 14:37 |

| nicole_ | ubuntu_: this usb to sata adapter is that just a cable or it comes with hardware? | 14:38 |

| ubuntu_ | nicole_: they even come with AC-adaptor to power 3,5" drives | 14:39 |
| ubuntu_ | well I use them for prepping discs or forensic stuff - and to install OS on may netbook (no optical drive there) | 14:40 |
| nicole_ | ubuntu_: what i mean is if this adapter is just a cable, one end usb one end sata, in that case i cna make one, bu if the adapter is more thn a cable ten i cant | 14:40 |

| ubuntu_ | nicole_: you need ntfs-tools | 14:52 |
| ubuntu_ | also | 14:52 |
| nicole_ | ign0ramus: no, its installed | 14:52 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, you will not be able to make any changes to volumes that are currently mounted. Using a livecd circumvents this issue. | 14:53 |
| nicole_ | ubuntu_: i can not even create a ext 3 partition yet | 14:53 |
| nicole_ | then ill be back live, shit i erased the bootable usb live | 14:53 |
| Nationiant | Is it possible to install Kubuntu with all Ubuntu (but not Kubuntu) apps? | 14:53 |
| === cad is now known as Guest58898 | ||
| Nationiant | Ex. Kubuntu with Firefox | 14:54 |
| ubuntu_ | nicole_: pmagic can be booted from an USB stick, then you can... | 14:54 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, so, Boot from LiveCD > de-allocate/make new partition > Format as NTFS/Use Windows disc to install to that partition > Fix mbr (grub) > Fin. | 14:54 |
| Nationiant | Or, is it possible to install KDE to Ubuntu without all those apps which come with it? | 14:54 |
| ubuntu_ | Nationiant: yes | 14:54 |
| Nationiant | ubuntu_: how? | 14:55 |
| nicole_ | ign0ramus: i restart with lice cd then i opn gparted, and try to do a new partition, how do i do the windows disc to install that partition? | 14:55 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, if you already have a new partition, boot from a windows install disc, and select the partition you wish to install to. just be careful not to wipe out your Linux partition! :P | 14:56 |
| ubuntu_ | nicole_: you can NOT - MS OS must be running to do that... | 14:56 |
| nicole_ | ign0ramus: ubuntu_ i am getting differnt info from unguys | 14:57 |
| nicole_ | ubuntu_: you mean that i can install windows oin a drive without windows already on it? | 14:57 |
| ign0ramus | ign0ramus, there are different ways to achieve the same issue. what i am telling you is the standard simple way to do it | 14:58 |
| ubuntu_ | nicole_: I am right ;-) the windows setup buils the windows kernel (kind of) you can not just copy it | 14:58 |
| bazhang | how does kubuntu figure into this? | 14:58 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, you can install windows to a partition that does not have windows on it yet, yes. | 14:58 |
| nicole_ | ign0ramus: i can boot from a windows install disc since i dont have a cdrom , i tried to boot from a usb with windows xp install in it, but it fails | 14:58 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, it had to be a fresh drive at some point, right? | 14:58 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang: i asking that myself - I figure nicole wants to install windows from a running kubuntu | 14:59 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, there are certain ways to create an XP install USB drive. your problem most likely is a result of your USB drive. | 14:59 |
| bazhang | better asked about usb *windows* in ##windows , right? | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | Nationiant, why not just install ubuntu / gnome ? | 15:00 |
| nicole_ | ign0ramus: yes i know, i have created xp install usb, in 2 different usb sticks. i boot in them and it crashes when the loading some files, i get a blue screen | 15:01 |
| nicole_ | ign0ramus: i am gonna try this xp-usb stick in another pc and see what happens, it fails then i know its the usb drive | 15:01 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, then either there is a hardware incompatibility, or the usb drive is missing files. See here: http://www.vandomburg.net/installing-windows-xp-from-usb/ | 15:02 |
| ign0ramus | nicole_, but yes, this is getting very off-topic :) | 15:02 |
| bazhang | !windows | nicole_ | 15:02 |
| ubottu | nicole_: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 15:02 |
| ubuntu_ | nicole_: ign0ramus is talking about an XP *installer* USB - you most likely have an xp installed to an USB - won't work | 15:02 |
| ign0ramus | ubuntu_, exactly :) | 15:03 |
| Nationiant | I want KDE | 15:04 |
| Nationiant | Or at least try it, but I installed it and my application menus have a lot more programs | 15:04 |
| bazhang | Nationiant, then uninstall them | 15:04 |
| Nationiant | well | 15:05 |
| Nationiant | Isn't there an easier way? | 15:05 |
| Nationiant | Than removing every single app? | 15:05 |
| bazhang | you installed kubuntu-desktop ? | 15:05 |
| === NvdH is now known as NavadeHo | ||
| BluesKaj | Nationiant, so you want kde desktop with gnome apps? | 15:08 |
| Nationiant | Yep | 15:09 |
| nicole_ | ubuntu_: i do have an xp installer usb | 15:10 |
| ubuntu_ | nicole_: you run setup and it ask all the questions? | 15:11 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, Nationiant: apparently this guy is running Plasma in Gnome... http://pici.se/405930/?size=fullsize | 15:11 |
| Nationiant | Ok. | 15:12 |
| mackk431 | hey my update program for updates has 4 blocked updates. How do i get them installed? | 15:12 |
| nicole_ | ubuntu_: im sorry if that was unclearto you. but as i said it stil fails thanks for ur help | 15:13 |
| ubuntu_ | mackk431: try to install one of them with apt-get and tell us the error message | 15:13 |
| ign0ramus | mackk431, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will pull in the needed dependencies | 15:13 |
| ImpRadar | if i add in a c++ header file will MTN add in all sub files in src/ | 15:13 |
| mackk431 | ok | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | Nationiant, i think installing Ubuntu then installing kubuntu-desktop and choosing it at login when ever you boot into linux | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | Nationiant, that would prolly be the easiest | 15:14 |
| Nationiant | BluesKaj: I know, I have tried that, but all those applications come with Synaptic package kubuntu-desktop | 15:14 |
| mackk431 | he is downloading packets now | 15:14 |
| ign0ramus | mackk431, there you go :) | 15:15 |
| mackk431 | but the packets are differnt | 15:15 |
| mackk431 | older versions | 15:15 |
| mackk431 | i will see what happens | 15:15 |
| mackk431 | maybe he cant install the newer stuff cause he doesnt have the older versions | 15:16 |
| ign0ramus | mackk431, the command you ran will pull in necessary dependencies | 15:17 |
| mackk431 | ok thank you ign0ramus | 15:17 |
| drdozer | anybody else having trouble aptitude installing pixfrogger? On my system it complains that it can't install the dependency fenix. | 15:18 |
| ign0ramus | mackk431, np. see here for how APT handles these issues: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/69 | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | Nationiant, then you'll just have to remove all the kde apps you don't want to use | 15:18 |
| Nationiant | =( | 15:18 |
| ign0ramus | Nationiant, if you just want plasma workspace to use, see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1068033 | 15:19 |
| ign0ramus | Nationiant, else, installing kde will bring in kde packages | 15:20 |
| Nationiant | Ok | 15:20 |
| drdozer | I'm running Jaunty | 15:20 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, me too! :) | 15:20 |
| drdozer | ignOramus, does this work for you? "sudo aptitude install pixfrogger" | 15:21 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, worked fine. pulled in the necessary dependencies and installed. | 15:21 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, do you have 'universe' repo enabled? | 15:21 |
| drdozer | ignOramus, I have this line in my sources file: deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty universe | 15:24 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, ok what is the output of "sudo apt-get build-dep pixfrogger" ? | 15:26 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, please pastebin output | 15:26 |
| drdozer | ignOramus, http://pastebin.com/d578cf688 | 15:29 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, does "sudo apt-get -f install" help? | 15:29 |
| lovre | i have a problem, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE doesnt work anymore??? | 15:31 |
| drdozer | ignOramus, nope - slightly different output, but same error trying to track down fenix | 15:31 |
| ign0ramus | lovre, "sudo dontzap -d" then log out and log in. it will work again. | 15:31 |
| lovre | ign0ramus: ok, ty | 15:31 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, fenix is also in Universe... you cannot install manually? | 15:32 |
| ign0ramus | lovre, np :) | 15:32 |
| drdozer | ignOramus, the weird thing is that I've been able to install other fenix-? packages, also from universe | 15:33 |
| lovre | unfortunatelly its not working with dontzap even ??? | 15:33 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, you have 'fenix' and 'fenix-dev' installed ? | 15:33 |
| ign0ramus | lovre, if you've restarted X, please "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and paste the line relating to dontzap | 15:34 |
| drdozer | http://pastebin.com/m34793ed0 | 15:34 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, so try: "sudo apt-get install fenix fenix-plugins-system" | 15:35 |
| lovre | ign0ramus: its set to False | 15:35 |
| lovre | ign0ramus: should i manually write True? | 15:36 |
| ign0ramus | lovre, that is the correct setting | 15:36 |
| drdozer | http://pastebin.com/d25a6e161 | 15:36 |
| lovre | ign0ramus: then its something else wrong | 15:36 |
| ign0ramus | lovre, "dontzap" stops ctrl+alt+backspace from working.. making it false allows it | 15:36 |
| lovre | i see | 15:36 |
| ign0ramus | !dontzap | lovre | 15:36 |
| ubottu | lovre: 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. | 15:36 |
| lovre | ign0ramus: i see. what else could be causing this? | 15:37 |
| ign0ramus | lovre, a very windows-ish answer, but if you've done what i said, try rebooting and see if the changes take effect. if not, then we have some work to do :) | 15:37 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, please pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:38 |
| drdozer | http://pastebin.com/d49dde2fd | 15:39 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, look at lines 41,42,48,and 49... uncomment then. | 15:40 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, and Line 57, too. then save and exit. do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 15:40 |
| drdozer | ign0ramus, still no joy - "No candidate version found for fenix" | 15:44 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, show me your edited version of /etc/apt/sources.list please | 15:44 |
| drdozer | http://pastebin.com/d742d4cf8 | 15:46 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, ok, looks good. you've saved the file | 15:46 |
| ign0ramus | and did sudo apt-get update? | 15:46 |
| drdozer | yeah, and updated and so on | 15:46 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, pastebin "sudo apt-get install fenix" | 15:47 |
| drdozer | is there a cache file I can blow away to force it to grab everything new? | 15:47 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, not sure what you mean ... | 15:47 |
| drdozer | http://pastebin.com/d5b0b062f | 15:48 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, that doesn't make much sense... it's in Universe, which you've now enabled, and you should be able to pull that package... | 15:49 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, you can install the .deb from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/fenix | 15:49 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, and fenix-plugins-system here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/fenix-plugins-system | 15:50 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, are you running 64bit? | 15:51 |
| ign0ramus | brb | 15:54 |
| ign0ramus | argh! anyone else just randomly get a notification that "the playback device <name> stopped working" ? it's been happening all too frequently lately, killing all my sound :/ | 15:59 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: pulseaudio is hogging your sound I guess | 15:59 |
| drdozer | ignOramus, yeah - that could be the problem perhaps - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU U7600 @ 1.20GHz: http://pastebin.com/d3e435f55 | 15:59 |
| redomondo | back and gettingt the hang of it - I want to install a driver though, as well I can access any of my files on windows. | 16:00 |
| ign0ramus | drdozer, that's why i asked... seems fenix is only 32 bit :( | 16:00 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: all reports with " "the playback device <name> stopped working" so far were pulseaudio problems :( | 16:00 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, i thought i removed PA... what packages should i purge? | 16:00 |
| shadeslayer | ign0ramus: you could force a install with the a 64 bit machine | 16:00 |
| shadeslayer | -a | 16:00 |
| Mamarok | let me see | 16:00 |
| drdozer | ign0ramus, oh - that's annoying - I thought 32 bit stuff could run under 64 bit | 16:01 |
| ign0ramus | shadeslayer, if you can help in this regard, i'd appreciate it... i always use 32bit for compatibility reasons... im not good with amd64 stuff | 16:01 |
| shadeslayer | drdozer: it can! one sec | 16:01 |
| shadeslayer | ign0ramus: hehe...sure | 16:01 |
| shadeslayer | i use 64 bit since it runs a bit faster on my machine | 16:02 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: remove and purge as many packages you can of pulseaudio without removing KDE, push it to the bottom in Phonon, then remove ~/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc and restart KDE | 16:02 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, what about any gtk apps - i don't need PA for them, right? | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | !ia32 | 16:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ia32 | 16:03 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: if you are not running Gnome, then no, you don't | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | !ia32libs | 16:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ia32libs | 16:04 |
| shadeslayer | drdozer: sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <package> | 16:04 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, nope kde all the way, with a few gtk apps (firefox, pidgin, etc) :) | 16:04 |
| Mamarok | then this should not be a problem | 16:04 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, i know you've been against PA since day one, and now i see why :) | 16:05 |
| shadeslayer | drdozer: did it work?? | 16:05 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: I wouldn't be against it if it was not forced on us by the underlying Ubuntu and if it would work correctly | 16:05 |
| dwidmann | !info ia32-libs | BluesKaj | 16:06 |
| ubottu | BluesKaj: Package ia32-libs does not exist in jaunty | 16:06 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, which is more than fair in my book | 16:06 |
| Mamarok | the idea behind pulseaudio is good, the implementation is bad | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | !ia32-apt-get | 16:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ia32-apt-get | 16:06 |
| dwidmann | ubottu lies! | 16:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lies! | 16:06 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, what exactly *is* the idea? for desktop use, what advantages are there? | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | weird | 16:06 |
| shadeslayer | !info ia32-apt-get | 16:06 |
| ubottu | Package ia32-apt-get does not exist in jaunty | 16:06 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: theres always !find | 16:07 |
| Mamarok | BluesKaj: what are you looking for? | 16:07 |
| drdozer | shadeslayer, that got the fenix deb installed, thanks, but pixfrogger still gives the same error message | 16:07 |
| Mamarok | !factoid | 16:08 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, I'm looking at ia32-apt-get in synaptic ..."Apt-get and dpkg wrapper for on-the-fly ia32-libs conversion" | 16:08 |
| shadeslayer | drdozer: hmmm...no idea on that sorry..that command has always worked for me....maybe you need some 32 bit libraries...just a shot in the dark | 16:08 |
| Mamarok | BluesKaj: there's nothing in the factoids as I can see | 16:08 |
| Zxcvb | what is the best way to run 32 bit apps on 64 bit kubuntu? | 16:09 |
| drdozer | shadeslayer: ok, thanks for your help | 16:09 |
| shadeslayer | drdozer: no problems :) | 16:09 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: well, mostly you shouldn't need to, otherwise you might need to handle it on a case-by-case basis | 16:09 |
| Zxcvb | dwidmann: the big one is wine | 16:10 |
| Zxcvb | dwidmann: as 64 bit wine only supports win64 apps | 16:10 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, took your advice. restarting X... brb. Thanks! | 16:10 |
| Mamarok | BluesKaj: check here: http://pastebin.com/d148f6ba8 | 16:10 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: Umm, I don't think that's true about wine | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | Mamarok, http://www.pastebin.ca/1467676 | 16:11 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: I'd have to double check to be sure, of course. There is the occasional incompatibility though, but it's rare (I don't think Diablo 1 works) | 16:11 |
| Zxcvb | dwidmann: unless it changed recently, tha is | 16:11 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, well looking good so far... i didn't get the playback device failure notification on login like usual... ;) | 16:11 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: good :) | 16:12 |
| swatto | hello all, please can someone help me, I can no longer get kde to start in kubuntu :( i just get console login | 16:12 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, and amarok is completely unaffected, yes? | 16:12 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, do you get any errors? | 16:12 |
| swatto | i did the dist-upgrade to install some blocked updates and now kde wont load | 16:12 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: I've been able to use 32-bit apps in wine on my 64-bit installs for years | 16:13 |
| swatto | no no errors, it just takes me to the terminal, i have tried starting kde but it says display is not set or cannot connect to the x server | 16:13 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: well, the problem is Pulseaudio doesn't work well with the phonon-xine-backend, and that's the only backend we can recommend so far, gstreamer is buggy too | 16:13 |
| Zxcvb | dwidmann: is it better to use chroot or ia32libs and getlibs | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | dwidmann, no need just install 1a32-libs | 16:13 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, so stick with phonon/xine, then? | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | ia32-libs | 16:14 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: ia32-libsd and getlibs | 16:14 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, have you tried reconfiguring xorg? | 16:14 |
| swatto | no, not sure how to do that ign0ramus | 16:14 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: chroot would have been " | 16:14 |
| dwidmann | "the way to go" 4 or 5 years ago | 16:14 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " | 16:14 |
| dwidmann | Stupid enter key cut me off mid sentence :( | 16:14 |
| swatto | do i have to change anything or just enter that command? | 16:15 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, that should do it. then choose your settings | 16:15 |
| swatto | ok ill try that, thanks ign0ramus, will hopefully be back on kubuntu and not through chatzilla | 16:16 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: 2.4. Does Wine run on 64-bit? | 16:16 |
| dwidmann | Yes. Normally, installation should be the same as with 32-bit: simply install the Wine package for your distribution. | 16:16 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: Wine is currently offered in 32-bit. 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications work with it. It works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux installations. | 16:17 |
| dwidmann | straight from the wine FAQ | 16:17 |
| dwidmann | Zxcvb: Support for 64-bit Windows applications is planned for the distant future (see Wine64). | 16:17 |
| Zxcvb | dwidmann: ok, I am getting a 64 bit system next month and just wanted to make sure | 16:18 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: yes, that's the recommended backend from our side | 16:20 |
| swatto | Didn't work ign0ramus :( came up with xserver-org not installed, i tried to install it but it couldnt find the package | 16:21 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, can you boot into a different kernel? | 16:21 |
| ign0ramus | Mamarok, thanks for the info :) | 16:21 |
| swatto | hmm not sure how to do that ign0ramus, sorry im new to linux | 16:21 |
| dwidmann | swatto: xserver-xorg, not xserver-org | 16:22 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, on your grub screen, can you select a different kernel to boot into? | 16:22 |
| rafaeljpd | of course | 16:22 |
| swatto | Im not sure, i will have a look, there are different options ign0ramus, like memtest and recovery mode if thats what you mean? | 16:22 |
| Mamarok | ign0ramus: yaw :) | 16:23 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg" should work as well | 16:23 |
| swatto | i will have a look, brb thanks :) | 16:23 |
| swatto | im in ign0ramus :) but my display is all screwed up, i dont think it is using the nvidia driver anymore as my graphics card fan is still running at full speed | 16:27 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, well, first things first. good that you're back in. now go get your display driver, and you should be set | 16:27 |
| ign0ramus | !nvidia | swatto | 16:27 |
| ubottu | swatto: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 16:28 |
| swatto | I must have overwrote something when i did that dist-upgrade thing to get rid of the blocked updates message | 16:28 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, sounds like you somehow removed xorg ... ? | 16:28 |
| swatto | no it wasn't removed ign0ramus, i was typing it wrong :P | 16:29 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, so what did you do to get back in then? | 16:29 |
| swatto | i ran that dpkg-reconfigure command and went through it, i then did startx and it loaded kde but in a screwed up state lol | 16:30 |
| petsounds | swatto : sudo nvidia-xconfig, logout and alt-E | 16:31 |
| === effie_jayx_ is now known as effie_jayx | ||
| swatto | how can i shut x down so that i can reinstall the graphics driver again? | 16:32 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, drop into a tty and kill X from there, i suppose | 16:33 |
| Mamarok | swatto: you sure you do not miss some files? make sure you have kdebase installed | 16:33 |

| cinex | swatto: sudo killall -9 kdm | 16:38 |
| cinex | sudo killall -9 Xorg | 16:38 |
| cinex | if u dont kill kdm first it will reload the login screen and be running X | 16:39 |
| cinex | it kinda restarts itself | 16:39 |
| cinex | cntrl+alt+backspace will restart xorg | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | cinex, not on jaunty | 16:40 |
| swatto | hmm thats not working cinex, the nvidia driver still says i have xserver running | 16:40 |
| cinex | BluesKaj: u have to run a command to enable it | 16:40 |
| cinex | swatto, you killed kdm then Xorg? | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | i have , still doesn't work | 16:41 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, "sudo dontzap -d" will re-enable ctrl+alt+backspace | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, already did that | 16:41 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, and you've restarted X since issuing that command? | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 16:41 |
| cinex | im gonna test | 16:42 |
| cinex | brb | 16:42 |
| swatto | yep cinex | 16:42 |
| swatto | last time i did it i had to type some kind of file path | 16:42 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, and /etc/X11/xorg.conf now lists dontzap as 'false' ? | 16:42 |
| cinex | should work swatto | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, lemme check | 16:42 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, very strange... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 16:42 |
| swatto | brb gonna restart | 16:43 |
| cinex | why is kdm not in /etc/rc2.d ? | 16:45 |
| cinex | i found it | 16:45 |
| cinex | i was just about to give swatto a method to | 16:45 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, yup, Option"DontZap""False" | 16:46 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, weird. did you check the link above? this seems to work for me and almost everyone else... | 16:46 |
| cinex | wb swatto | 16:47 |
| cinex | fixed it? | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, oops ! ... maybe i shouldn't be too concerned and should have told you I'm running Karmic :P | 16:47 |
| swatto | thanks :) yep fixed it, just reinstalled the driver which removed the old one and rewrote the xorg config i think so that it loaded | 16:47 |
| cinex | nice | 16:47 |
| swatto | im never messing with updgrades again :( well at least until i know a bit more about linux | 16:48 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, that may be an issue! :P | 16:48 |
| Mamarok | swatto: that is a very good idea :) | 16:48 |
| swatto | I honestly thought it was gonna be a reinstall job | 16:48 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, i'm pretty sure it depends on your version of xorg... could be wrong though. | 16:48 |
| BluesKaj | swatto, agreed , don't fool with you graphics drivers and X too much ...once it's working , don't play around with it | 16:49 |
| ign0ramus | swatto, nah... you had a very minor issue. check here before re-installing! :) | 16:49 |
| binMonkey | hi, guys. i don't know much about hardware and what i've googled i don't really understand. i found a laptop for $388 with an intel pentium dual core t3400. is this a pretty decent deal? will it give me a good framerate with openarena? | 16:50 |
| swatto | I didnt mess around with the graphics BluesKaj, well as far as i know i didnt, i just did a dist-upgrade or something?? to get rid of the blocked updates that needed dependencies and it screwed it up | 16:50 |
| ign0ramus | binMonkey, this isn't www.slickdeals.net ... | 16:50 |
| commander_ | how can i get adept manager up. i installed it but can't draw it up | 16:50 |
| ign0ramus | commander_, "kdesudo adept" doesn't work? | 16:51 |
| === mohammad is now known as Guest88039 | ||
| binMonkey | ign0ramus: thanks. | 16:51 |
| commander_ | type tht in konsole? | 16:51 |
| ign0ramus | commander_, yup | 16:51 |
| ign0ramus | binMonkey, sorry to seem rude, but this isn't the best place to ask about hardware pricing | 16:52 |
| ign0ramus | binMonkey, and anyway, framerates in games depend more on the gpu than anything :P | 16:52 |
| binMonkey | ok. thanks. | 16:53 |
| ign0ramus | binMonkey, a sub-$400 laptop probably does not have a discrete gpu, which is what you'd want for good smooth gameplay | 16:53 |
| commander_ | command don't work ign | 16:53 |
| ign0ramus | commander_, what's it say? | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | binMonkey, whynot go ask in an open arena chat ...there's prolly one somewhere on IRC | 16:53 |
| commander_ | Command doesn't work | 16:53 |
| commander_ | tht what it says | 16:54 |
| ign0ramus | commander_, the output is "Command doesn't work" ? | 16:54 |
| commander_ | Ign i meant command not found | 16:54 |
| ign0ramus | commander_, "sudo apt-get install adept" try that | 16:54 |
| togetic | anyone might know why kdm freezes when i try logging in? i've been on this live cd for days now | 16:55 |
| ign0ramus | togetic, you're still dealing with this kdm issue? | 16:55 |
| togetic | it just freezes once it starts and the computer doesn't respond to my keyboard or mouse inputs | 16:55 |
| togetic | yup | 16:55 |
| commander_ | got it thank Ign | 16:55 |
| ign0ramus | togetic, i very rarely recommend it, but maybe reinstall? you've been messing with this for over a week now! :P | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | binMonkey, irc.anynet.org/#openarena | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | commander_, cool. adept does not come by default in Jaunty. it uses Kpackagekti | 16:56 |
| togetic | i was planning on purchasing a backup drive and reinstalling after backing up but suntrust charged me nearly half my paycheck in overdraft fees, #*#()&% | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | *kpackagekit | 16:56 |
| adasz | how can i in kubuntu jaunty join a wpa/2 secured wlan? | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | togetic, off topic, but if you call, you can probably get some of those fee waived .... i know all about that ;) | 16:56 |
| ImpRadar | hey people. i am trying to download pidgin using MTN but i am not sure what to put in the sync argument. CAn anyone help? | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, install wicd ;) | 16:57 |
| adasz | ign0ramus, sudi aptitude install wicd? | 16:57 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, "sudo apt-get install wicd" if you have jaunty | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | adasz, open add widgets , choose "network management" | 16:57 |
| adasz | BluesKaj, and then? | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | mamage connections | 16:58 |
| adasz | the websuplicant is not updates | 16:58 |
| decembre | hello | 16:58 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, well either use the built in network manager or use wicd... can't use both. IMHO, wicd works much better with wpa2 | 16:59 |
| decembre | I have problem with amarok | 16:59 |
| BluesKaj | adasz,right click on the icon / manage connections | 16:59 |
| decembre | my collection doesn't appears in it | 16:59 |
| decembre | whereas it has been scanned | 16:59 |
| decembre | it's after I re-install kubuntu | 17:00 |
| decembre | anyone has an idea ? | 17:00 |
| BluesKaj | ok ign0ramus , never tried wicd , ..network management worked fine for me on our laptop | 17:00 |
| adasz | BlueEagle, but i cant select WPA2 | 17:00 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, then you are one of teh lucky ones ;) | 17:00 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, an informal poll in this room would show many folks with issues with NM | 17:01 |
| adasz | there is only WEP, WPA-PSK ore WPA-EAP | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | adasz, I beleive WPA-PSK is equivalent to WPA2 | 17:02 |
| adasz | he can not join the network | 17:03 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj is correct | 17:03 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, would you like to try wicd? | 17:03 |
| adasz | ign0ramus, now i install it xD | 17:04 |
| adasz | ok installed what now? | 17:04 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, "wicd-client" | 17:04 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, you should see the little icon in your Task Manager widget in Panel | 17:05 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, left-click it, and put in your info. you should be able to connect now | 17:06 |
| adasz | i cant install it | 17:06 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, are all your repos enabled? | 17:07 |
| ign0ramus | adasz, it is in Extras | 17:07 |
| adasz | w8 | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | adasz, make sure the jaunty universe is enabled in your sources.list/package manager | 17:08 |
| dwidmann | Okay, so I use gtkpod to load up m y ipods. It looks like it can convert incompatible formats (ogg, flac) on the fly, but is there some way to change the settings it uses for doing so? | 17:11 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, imho 'handbrake' is the best for converting ipod files. | 17:11 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: I've not played with it before, I'll check it out | 17:11 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: is it in the repos? | 17:12 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, i know that didn't answer your question, but handbrake is awesome | 17:12 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, lemme check | 17:12 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, yup :) | 17:12 |
| BluesKaj | ok ign0ramus, gonna try wicd with the belkin usb wifi ..brb | 17:12 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, cool :) | 17:13 |
| dwidmann | I mean I could easily convert them with soundkonverter or something, I'm mostly wondering about doing it on the fly | 17:13 |
| snarkster | is kopete yahoo support not working? | 17:13 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, see here: http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html they say to use 3rd party apps for converting :( | 17:15 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: what package is that handbrake package in? | 17:15 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: bummer | 17:15 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: guess I'll stick with soundkonverter-ing them for now | 17:15 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, hey, if that works, then ok! | 17:16 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, i have a creative zen, but i use mencoder to convert. it takes a while, but it works well, especially for video :) | 17:16 |
| dwidmann | (I'm moving my entire collection to flac ... kind of bugs me that I need to keep a second copy in mp3 ...) | 17:16 |
| snarkster | does anyone know if there is a #wine channel? | 17:17 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, you could write a bash script to remove all (redundant) mp3 files once converted to FLAC | 17:17 |
| snarkster | I cant seem to find it | 17:17 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: when I say I'm moving to flac, I mean I'm painstakingly re-ripping everything | 17:17 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, ouch. good luck bro | 17:17 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: I've gotten through about 50 so far | 17:18 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, out of how many? | 17:18 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: lots | 17:18 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: 300? | 17:18 |
| atse | espanol? | 17:18 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, well, you've made good progress | 17:18 |
| ign0ramus | !es | atse | 17:18 |
| ubottu | atse: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 17:18 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: I've come up with an interesting way of approaching it | 17:18 |
| DaskreeCH | snarkster: #winehq | 17:19 |
| ign0ramus | dwidmann, i figured you would :) | 17:19 |
| DaskreeCH | dwidmann: THat's interesting unless you are an audiophile FLAC is really for archival purposes | 17:19 |
| ign0ramus | DaskreeCH, really? | 17:20 |
| DaskreeCH | no not really | 17:20 |
| atse | thank you | 17:20 |
| DaskreeCH | But I mean that's generally what it's used for | 17:20 |
| ign0ramus | atse, de nada | 17:20 |
| ign0ramus | DaskreeCH, gotcha. also, aren't FLAC files huge compared to (compressed) mp3's? | 17:21 |
| DaskreeCH | Rip to something lossy to listen to (unless you really can't stand lossy formats cause they are grating to the ear) and rip to FLAC to put on long term storage | 17:21 |
| dwidmann | ign0ramus: I rip to a tmpfs with abcde, using 2 drives at once so I can do 2 disks at once, then after 10 or so I tag them while still on the tmpfs with easytag and rename/retag them as necessary (much faster while still on tmpfs), then I copy them over. It greatly reduces the bottlenecks | 17:21 |
| DaskreeCH | ign0ramus: Huge a FLAC is 1/2 the size of a Wav Lossy stuff is ~1/10 the size | 17:21 |
| dwidmann | Yes, they're enourmous, but I have a couple 1TB drives. | 17:22 |
| snarkster | thank you | 17:22 |
| ign0ramus | DaskreeCH, comparing to wav, anything looks good :) | 17:22 |
| ign0ramus | brb lunch | 17:22 |
| === ign0ramus is now known as ign0ramus_afk | ||
| DaskreeCH | Yeah but 1/2 is still an incredible amount of space taken up | 17:22 |
| DaskreeCH | You can fit maybe 5 or so albums on a single layer DVD | 17:22 |
| dwidmann | DaskreeCH: it really does make me wonder why they still use CD as opposed to a modern sort of disk (surely they should have come up with something interesting int hat regards by now), I'd be worried about how they'd spin it though ... DRM this encryption that .... | 17:23 |
| DaskreeCH | dwidmann: Hardware | 17:25 |
| dwidmann | DaskreeCH: eh? | 17:27 |
| DaskreeCH | There is atoo much hardware on the market that knows uses and utilizes CD format and is non upgradeable to ignore it] | 17:28 |
| === ign0ramus_afk is now known as ign0ramus | ||
| dwidmann | DaskreeCH: I kind of agree, and kind of disagree. It would be nice if they started releasing stuff in 7.1 or something like that though. | 17:29 |
| DaskreeCH | dwidmann: They do. On DVD-Audio disks | 17:30 |
| DaskreeCH | Course you have to buy a DVD-Audio player | 17:30 |
| dwidmann | I've never seen a DVD-Audio disk before ... I've also never seen the DVD-Audio players ... | 17:30 |
| DaskreeCH | THat's why they make CDs | 17:30 |
| dwidmann | Format doomed to die an early death I presume? | 17:30 |
| DaskreeCH | Early is relative it's been around for years | 17:31 |
| dwidmann | DaskreeCH: and I've never seen even one :\ | 17:31 |
| DaskreeCH | Going on 10 years old now | 17:31 |
| ign0ramus | DaskreeCH, a kubuntu cd on Laserdisc would be awesome :D | 17:33 |
| DaskreeCH | You mean a Kubuntu LD? :) | 17:33 |
| ign0ramus | lol | 17:33 |
| ign0ramus | DaskreeCH, you could install kubuntu or decapitate people; it's multi-functional | 17:33 |
| DaskreeCH | I can't wait till Ubuntu realises shipping on a CD doesn't make sense anymore and jumps to shipping on a blu-Ray :) | 17:39 |
| DaskreeCH | wheeeee all of linux is mine! | 17:39 |
| ign0ramus | DaskreeCH, plus you get more than 1 wallpaper! | 17:39 |
| DaskreeCH | Ha haha | 17:39 |
| ign0ramus | DaskreeCH, i heard it will come with the Internet pre-bundled | 17:39 |

| DaskreeCH | dwidmann: and you can't go a day without running into a CD unit | 17:40 |
| dwidmann | DaskreeCH: yes I could, it just wouldn't be a day I'd be happy about | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, no luck with wicd , doesn't see the router broadcast | 17:41 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, did you restart X? | 17:41 |
| DaskreeCH | dwidmann: Yeah being in prison sucks I agree | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, works fine with eth0...yeah I rebooted | 17:42 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, hmm... is 'wireless interface' correct in the settings? | 17:42 |
| BluesKaj | wonder if the legacy ralink driver might work | 17:43 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, in my case, it's 'wlan0' | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, anything else i may need to setup m before i disconnect from the "wired" eth0 ? | 17:45 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, no - if you've got wicd installed and running, you just have to adjust the settings for what works for you | 17:46 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, i use "wlan0" and "wext" for wpasupplicant for example | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 17:47 |
| Matisse | hi | 17:52 |
| hvgotcodes | if i have ubuntu 8.10 installed, is it possible to get latest kde release? And if so can someone point me to a guide? | 17:54 |
| DaskreeCH | !hi | Matisse | 17:55 |
| ubottu | Matisse: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 17:55 |
| DaskreeCH | hvgotcodes: What would you refer to as the latest release ? | 17:55 |
| Matisse | I need some help with using more than 2 audio channel. I have 2 soundcards, one onboard and another. Both have only 1 output channel | 17:55 |
| hvgotcodes | DaskreeCH, i think 4.3 right? | 17:55 |
| hvgotcodes | none of the 8.10 ubuntu kde guides seem to work anymore | 17:56 |
| DaskreeCH | hvgotcodes: 4.3 is not out yet. 4.3 beta is out and it's on an experimental Repo. on a technicality you can probably upgrade to it but I would tread cautiously | 17:56 |
| hvgotcodes | DaskreeCH, ok thanx | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, I'm on a neighbour's unsecured network that wicd found , but i'd like to reconnect with encryption which my router requires , wpa-psk with a pw to connect is what I'm used to. | 17:58 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, ok, does wicd now see your connection? | 17:58 |
| DaskreeCH | hvgotcodes: You can always try 9.10 ^_^ | 17:58 |
| hvgotcodes | DaskreeCH, im stuck on 8.10 until ati gets there shit straight | 18:00 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, it sees the connection but when I click on it it just says "this connection requires encryption" or some such ..I'm looking for pw encryption options but i don't see any in the GUI at least | 18:00 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, click on your connection, and then click properties | 18:00 |
| DaskreeCH | hvgotcodes: Ah Good call. which reminds me I need to figure out if I can install a 8.10 kernel with the 8.10 video drivers to get back pretty Kwin | 18:01 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, there you can set encryption values | 18:01 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj: are you using the kde widget or something else? | 18:01 |
| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, he's using wicd now instead | 18:01 |
| Walzmyn | k | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, all I get is a dialog box "This network requires encryption to be enabled " | 18:02 |
| MetaMorfoziS | Hi all | 18:02 |
| MetaMorfoziS | is there an app (if possible kde based) that can store notes safely? | 18:02 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, hang on... | 18:02 |
| dragos | hello... any of you ever installed xen in ubuntu/kubunti ?! | 18:02 |
| Alethes | any reason why the update notifier would be showing 8 available updates and kpackagekit only showing 4 blocked updates? | 18:03 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, you should see this: http://i40.tinypic.com/25uilqo.jpg | 18:03 |
| Walzmyn | if i'm running a home built kernel, I should be safe to remove the kernel packages installed via apt, correct? | 18:03 |
| Walzmyn | Alethes: mines doing the same thing, I think the notifier is not up-to-date on some i've already applied | 18:04 |
| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, if your current kernel is working, then i don't see why not | 18:04 |
| Walzmyn | ign0ramus: ok. I want to get these blocked updates out of the system so it won't constantly tell me something needs updating | 18:04 |
| Alethes | Walzmyn: any idea why those kernel updates are blocked? | 18:04 |
| === NavadeHo is now known as NvdH | ||
| Walzmyn | Alethes: i assumned mine were blocked because i was not using the kernel in the repo | 18:05 |
| Walzmyn | I hadda build the new .30 kernel to get around a serious bug issue with my platform | 18:05 |
| ign0ramus | Alethes, its because of dependencies | 18:05 |
| Alethes | I'm using the generic kernel package | 18:05 |
| Alethes | ign0ramus: any way to know what deps are missing or perhaps in conflict/ | 18:06 |
| ign0ramus | Alethes, see here: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/69 | 18:06 |
| Alethes | ? | 18:06 |
| Alethes | ok thanks | 18:06 |
| ign0ramus | Alethes, "sudo apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade" may show you what it's pulling | 18:06 |
| Alethes | ok cool | 18:07 |
| Walzmyn | it'd be nice if it listed the conflicting dependency when it said they were blocked | 18:07 |
| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, agreed | 18:07 |
| Alethes | yeah it would | 18:07 |
| Alethes | that said, I really like kpackagekit over adept | 18:07 |
| Alethes | I really like jaunty overall for that matter | 18:07 |
| ign0ramus | Alethes, its much better than the kde 4 version of adept, which is *awful* | 18:07 |
| Walzmyn | synaptic FTW | 18:07 |
| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, for gui's, synaptic is still the best. but CLI > all ;) | 18:08 |
| Alethes | ign0ramus: I wasn't ever really happy with adept having use synaptic with ubuntu before switching to kubuntu | 18:08 |
| Walzmyn | oh yeah, hands down | 18:08 |

| ign0ramus | Alethes, hmm... i've been linking to that page the last couple of days (everyone had questions about blocked updates)... lemme see | 18:09 |
| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, it's a beautiful thing :) | 18:09 |

| Alethes | I started with slackware, so package management was never something I cared about heh | 18:11 |
| Walzmyn | I'm not that good with it really. It's just that when you reinstall your OS 5 times in one week, using the GUI gets tedious | 18:11 |
| ign0ramus | Alethes, i find debian forums have much less misinformation than ubuntu forums... as you can see, there is conflicting info in that post, but it does get resolved :) | 18:11 |
| Walzmyn | That post is not loading in for me. I was trying to read it too | 18:12 |
| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, hmm.. that one loads fine, while the debian one did not. at least on my end... | 18:13 |

| BluesKaj | I'd better warn my neighbour , if I can figure out which one it is , who's got an unsecured wifi that i just piggy backed on | 18:15 |
| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, heresy! | 18:15 |
| Walzmyn | used xchat for years until quassel came out | 18:16 |

| Zengol | Can someone help me troubleshoot my JACK audio installation? | 18:17 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, i have a small house, but wicd is usually 90%-100% where NM would get 80% tops | 18:18 |

| ign0ramus | LuisJa, np. Audacity is better than many paid Windows apps, too :) | 18:21 |
| LuisJa | ign0ramus: damn: E: No se pudo encontrar el paquete Audacity :( | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | hehe ign0ramus , I know a few others , mostly former tech guys like me who have been using unix for yrs then linux ...linux is a new kid on the block to some of them :) | 18:21 |

| ign0ramus | Walzmyn, you just saw me spanish-fail trying to say 'lowercase' | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | LuisJa, audacity rocks ...i use it to digitize some of my old vinyl records when I'm feeling patient , cuz it's abit of work | 18:23 |
| Walzmyn | ign0ramus: ah | 18:23 |

| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, sounds like you got it figured out... auto-connect, and re-connect on lost connection... thats about it :) | 18:25 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, also, there's a newer version on sourceforge, which is why mine looks a little different. thats it though | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, yeah I just used apt | 18:28 |

| shadeslayer | Sparky: the sensible choice :) | 18:35 |
| Sparky | indeed. | 18:35 |
| Sparky | just a quick question | 18:36 |
| Sparky | ive been trying to configure "tor" | 18:36 |
| Sparky | its a tool that allows users to surf anonymously | 18:36 |
| Sparky | problem is, it keeps crashing | 18:36 |
| Sparky | and the log files dont give me much either. | 18:36 |
| shadeslayer | !tor | Sparky | 18:36 |
| ubottu | Sparky: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 18:36 |
| Sparky | oh | 18:36 |
| Sparky | well, i didnt intend to use it on Irc | 18:36 |
| Sparky | just for regular surfing | 18:36 |
| Matisse | I need some help with using more than 2 audio channel. I have 2 soundcards, one onboard and another. Both have only 1 output channel. With Windoze it was to use input channels for output and output channels from both sound cards. Is this possible with ubuntu? | 18:37 |
| shadeslayer | Sparky: i dont think there is a very large threat if you are browsing the net on a linux machine | 18:37 |
| Sparky | ah the threat does exist | 18:37 |
| Sparky | im in the middle east. | 18:37 |

| sithlord48 | afternoon everyone | 19:49 |
| jonah1980 | hey guys, I am a website designer and have a particular client who sometimes needs help on windows to use his outlook express and things like that. it's not normally something i do but i said i'd help him. the problem is he rings me a lot or i have to go round to his house. i wondered if there's an easy way to use vnc from my kubuntu box at home to take over his machine to sort out his settings etc? can anyone pl | 19:52 |
| jonah1980 | . he won't know his ip and things like, so i could do with an easy solution to connect to him, such as msn network if possible? | 19:52 |
| sithlord48 | you have him | 19:53 |
| dpreacher | hello everyone. I need help with enabling my wifi interface. | 19:53 |
| dpreacher | I'm hoping to avoid windows drivers | 19:54 |
| sithlord48 | jonah1980: you can set him up w/ a dynamic dns relay then instead of an ip he will have a human friendly name you can for free set this up w/ sites like dyndns.org | 19:56 |
| jonah1980 | sithlord48, ok that sounds good, is this easy to do, would i need his ip to set up his dynamic and how would i put this into a vnc, is there a kubuntu vnc gui solution or do i have to pick one? | 19:57 |
| sithlord48 | joanh1980, very simple you set him up w/ an account he sets up his free dynamic dns relay and get a name mine is dopplereffect.shacknet.nu then you do one of two things to sync his ip you can set it up in the router most have a config to handle this or you can use there the dyndns client program to do it on his computer just remember to foward ports for vnc if you have a router in his system then to connect you just use his dns instead o | 19:59 |
| sithlord48 | joanh1980: the only annoyance is that every 30 days he will get an email and have to click a link in it to keep his dyndns account active.. | 20:00 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher: do you know what kind of wifi card/chip you have ? | 20:01 |
| Matisse | I need some help with using more than 2 audio channel. I have 2 soundcards, one onboard and another. Both have only 1 output channel. With Windoze it was to use input channels for output and output channels from both sound cards. Is this possible with ubuntu? | 20:01 |
| dpreacher | bcm4311. thats roughly the version sithlord48. let me type out some more details | 20:02 |
| dpreacher | When i type sudo iwconfig i see wlan0 is the wireless interface, so i assign the essid and other required params using iwconfig, but when i try to bring the interface up using sudo ifconfig wlan0 up it says SIOC...FLAGS: Interface not found. how do i make it find the interface that it itself lists? | 20:02 |
| sithlord48 | does it show in your ifconfig ? | 20:03 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, does your network use wpa or another encryption method ? | 20:04 |
| dpreacher | no encryption. kept it open to test this card. yes wlan0 shows up in iwconfig and ifconfig -a | 20:05 |
| dpreacher | is ifconfig lying | 20:05 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, does lshw show a driver assigned to the card and can your varifiy its running w/ modprobe ? | 20:05 |
| dpreacher | i've to bring my machine. give me some time. | 20:06 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, also does your machine have a hard switch to turn on/off your wifi radio (if so make sure its on) | 20:07 |
| dpreacher | no hard switch. its a almost 2 yr old dell inspiron 1501 with no OS default. its running 9.04 kubuntu right now. doin a lshw now | 20:09 |
| shamil | Hi | 20:10 |
| shamil | Hey | 20:11 |
| dpreacher | sithlord48 gimme some time to read thru all the device list. i hav to manually type it here, whatever my observations are | 20:13 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, take ur time | 20:13 |
| dpreacher | sithlord48 http://dpaste.com/57664/ | 20:24 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, do your find ssb in lsmod as a running module ? | 20:25 |
| dpreacher | checkin :) | 20:25 |
| dpreacher | lsmod | grep -i ssb gives "ssb 46724 2 b43,b44" | 20:29 |
| dpreacher | spacing is approx. am manually typing it out on another machine here | 20:29 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, is this a new install or did this issue just develop one day? | 20:31 |
| dpreacher | i've not been able to make this wifi work since i bought the machine and i've still not given up on it. i've used kubuntu since gutsy. but have always heard "mumble mumble broadcom linux-unfriendly mumble mumble" like forever. i've had some success in turning on the wifi. led came on and net worked with some other distro. vector i think. but by chance. as for installation. yes effectively my... | 20:35 |
| dpreacher | ...distro is a new install as i didn't upgrade using alt cd but overwrote existing / with the new distro files. | 20:35 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, perhaps you can find your solution on the forum. | 20:38 |
| dpreacher | this isnt like a live forum? thanks much for your interest so far sithlord48 :) | 20:39 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, have you tried ndiswrapper , i know that but on the forum there are some good faq's about wifi one might help you | 20:40 |
| dpreacher | nooo | 20:40 |
| dpreacher | sithlord48 i entered the room and i wished aloud i want to avoid ndiswrapper if possible. | 20:40 |
| dpreacher | i've been thru those faq's since i had gutsy | 20:41 |
| dpreacher | i think i'll hav to measure LAN cable needed for now. why is dell/broadcom so bad? :( | 20:42 |
| sithlord48 | dpreacher, yes i noticed that, you wanted to avoid ndiswrapper.i was just asking if you had tried it. | 20:42 |
| sithlord48 | idk i had a broadcom pcmica card for about 15 min after i installed kubuntu on my machine then i found on ebay a cheep minipci atheros card that works great was cheep too | 20:43 |
| dpreacher | yes...had downloaded drivers, extracted then got ndiswrapper...followed a ubuntu site document. it used to never accept ap any saying invalid ap. | 20:43 |
| dpreacher | why should I buy when I already spent on one hardware...and its a laptop component, built-in..i can't break it off and sell it | 20:44 |

| Soma_ | neither of you are winners | 20:55 |
| Soma_ | that's not what I wanted | 20:55 |
| Soma_ | it just says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 20:56 |
| Soma_ | I need to select which display driver to use | 20:56 |
| Walzmyn | Soma_: that's where you can select them | 20:56 |
| Soma_ | I can upload a screenshot if you don't believe me, sir | 20:56 |
| Soma_ | there are no options | 20:56 |
| Soma_ | there are no drivers displayed | 20:56 |
| Dragnslcr | What kind of video card do you have? | 20:56 |
| Soma_ | just Help | 20:56 |
| Soma_ | and Close | 20:56 |
| Walzmyn | hmm | 20:57 |
| Soma_ | 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) | 20:57 |
| Soma_ | pretty sure that's my video card on lspci | 20:57 |
| Soma_ | oh nevermind | 20:57 |
| Dragnslcr | Ah | 20:57 |
| Zorael | Soma_: Well, no, that's your host bridge. :3 | 20:57 |
| Zorael | lspci | grep VGA | 20:58 |
| Dragnslcr | Might be because Intel doesn't use proprietary drivers | 20:58 |
| Soma_ | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 20:58 |
| Soma_ | no way Dragnslcr | 20:58 |
| Soma_ | I know thsi from last time I had to change the drivers | 20:58 |
| Zorael | Soma_: With an Intel controller you should already be using the intel driver, no need to manually select it | 20:58 |
| Soma_ | which was just under system settings -> display | 20:58 |
| Soma_ | there are like 5 compatible drivers Zorael | 20:59 |
| Dragnslcr | Intel's drivers are open source. I'm not sure if the Hardware Drivers app is used for them | 20:59 |
| Soma_ | I want to select it | 20:59 |
| Soma_ | in ubuntu 8.10 it was just under display | 20:59 |
| Walzmyn | Soma_: the only drivers for intel are built into the kernel | 20:59 |
| Soma_ | a list of all drivers you could use for xserver | 20:59 |
| Dragnslcr | I've never had a system with Intel video, so I'm not sure exactly how it works | 20:59 |
| Dragnslcr | !intel | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 20:59 |
| Dragnslcr | Hm, that's actually not what I wanted | 21:00 |
| Zorael | Soma_: Wait, what? With a recent controller (945) you *want* to be using the "intel" driver which I bet is what it's using now, per default | 21:00 |
| Walzmyn | Soma_: what driver is called for in your xorg.conf? | 21:00 |
| Dragnslcr | Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what it says for Driver | 21:01 |
| Zorael | For intel cards you basically have vesa, intel, and i740 (if it even exists anymore) | 21:01 |
| Soma_ | this would be | 21:01 |
| Soma_ | Dragnslcr I know | 21:01 |
| Soma_ | jesus | 21:01 |
| commander_ | does anyone has kooldocks | 21:02 |
| Zorael | So sure, there are like 5 (3) compatible drivers, two of which are wrong and the third is used per default, if the hardware abstraction layer autodetecting is even half-working | 21:03 |
| Soma_ | what line exactly am I looking for | 21:04 |
| Soma_ | device? | 21:04 |
| Soma_ | the line driver does not exist in my conf | 21:04 |
| Dragnslcr | Is there a Section "Device" ? | 21:04 |
| jjesse | good evening, i have a dell laptop and have added a 2nd hard drive via an enclosure, what do i have to do to have it mount correctly? | 21:05 |
| Dragnslcr | It's the last section for me | 21:05 |
| Zorael | You'll need to create the driver line yourself; it not being there just means X relies on whatever it autodetects | 21:05 |
| Dragnslcr | I would guess that whatever X autodetects should work fine | 21:06 |
| Walzmyn | jjesse: all I have to do for mine is plug it in | 21:06 |
| === alba_ is now known as agata | ||
| jjesse | Walzmyn: hrm i have it plugged in and rebooted, it shows up in bios, maybe i'm not seeing it as it isn't formated? | 21:07 |
| Dragnslcr | jjesse- yeah, if there are no partitions, of course nothing will be mounted | 21:07 |
| Walzmyn | jjesse: oh yeah, you'll have to format it first, you need help with that? | 21:08 |
| jjesse | Dragnslcr: is there a gui program i need to use to format it? | 21:08 |
| jjesse | or is it all command line? | 21:08 |
| Dragnslcr | Either partitionmanager or gparted | 21:08 |
| Walzmyn | jjesse: both, the KDE app is called qtparted | 21:08 |
| jjesse | i thought at one time in systems settings there was a "disk" section | 21:08 |
| Dragnslcr | Nope, qtparted isn't maintained anymore | 21:09 |
| commander_ | hello!1 | 21:09 |
| Dragnslcr | There was, but it didn't do partition editing | 21:09 |
| jjesse | Dragnslcr: so gparted is the best? | 21:09 |
| Dragnslcr | The KDE4 app is just called partitionmanager (I know, I know) | 21:09 |
| Dragnslcr | gparted is the Gnome app | 21:09 |
| Walzmyn | qtparted is not maintained anymore! bah | 21:09 |
| jjesse | thanks for thelp guys | 21:10 |
| Dragnslcr | I've used partitionmanager, and it works well. It just takes forever to start up | 21:10 |
| Dragnslcr | They should change it so that it at least shows a window before it starts scanning the disks | 21:10 |
| Walzmyn | i just installed partitionamanger, it fired up liketysplit for me | 21:12 |
| jjesse | it fired up quickly for me as well | 21:12 |
| jjesse | pretty impressed | 21:12 |
| Dragnslcr | Hm, maybe it just hates me then | 21:12 |
| * jjesse adds notes to self and documentation | 21:12 | |
| Walzmyn | oy! my / partition is almost full | 21:12 |
| jjesse | now i have a 160GB drive and a 300GB drive in my laptop | 21:13 |
| Dragnslcr | Maybe it's slow for me because I have two 500 GB disks and two 250 GB disks | 21:13 |
| Walzmyn | Dragnslcr: that might have something to do with it | 21:14 |
| Walzmyn | i'm also runnining a pretty fast machine here | 21:15 |
| Dragnslcr | Been about two minutes now | 21:15 |
| Walzmyn | wow, "apt-get clean" cleared up about 1.5 gigs off of my / partition | 21:15 |
| Dragnslcr | Could be ktorrent blocking it | 21:16 |
| Dragnslcr | There we go | 21:17 |
| Walzmyn | umm | 21:17 |
| Walzmyn | ok, i had a notice of a plasma crash | 21:17 |
| Dragnslcr | Is it 1.0.0-BETA1 for you? | 21:17 |
| Walzmyn | now, i don't have a taskbar and my alt-f2 launcher thingy is not working | 21:18 |
| Zorael | Walzmyn: You could switch to a tty console (ctrl+alt+f1) and enter "DISPLAY=:0 plasma-desktop &" | 21:18 |
| Walzmyn | Zorael: what will that do? | 21:19 |
| shadeslayer | Walzmyn: for alt+F2 you can open a terminal and type ' krunner ' | 21:19 |
| Walzmyn | and why does ctr+alt+backspace not work anymore? | 21:19 |
| Zorael | Walzmyn: start plasma-desktop on the desktop environment's "display" | 21:19 |
| shadeslayer | Walzmyn: disabled by upstream | 21:20 |
| Walzmyn | shadeslayer: i can't open a terminal because i have no taskbar and the krunner ain't working | 21:20 |
| shadeslayer | Walzmyn: uh..right click > run | 21:20 |
| Zorael | Walzmyn: You could likewise do "DISPLAY=:0 krunner &" | 21:20 |
| commander_ | i need help | 21:20 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: please be more specific | 21:20 |
| Walzmyn | shadeslayer: right click does nothing as well. - i'm going to do what zorael said | 21:20 |
| commander_ | i downloaded KOOLDOCKS and now i can't find it | 21:20 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: kooldocks? | 21:21 |
| commander_ | yeah u can find it in adept | 21:21 |
| Zorael | (kooldock) | 21:21 |
| commander_ | like cairo dock and AWN | 21:22 |
| shadeslayer | Zorael: oh.. -s -.- | 21:22 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: in a terminal type kooldock | 21:22 |
| Walzmyn | Zorael: weal, that worked, but it crashed again immediatly. i'ma reboot and see what I get | 21:23 |
| commander_ | i did and a welcome box came up | 21:23 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: there you have it :) .. now close the terminal and you can open the dock via : alt+F2 > kooldock | 21:24 |
| commander_ | ok i'm pressing it | 21:24 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: anything else you need help with ?? im off to sleep in 5 min | 21:27 |
| commander_ | yeah so how do i bring it up on kmenu permanently? | 21:27 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: see a search box on top of the menu when you click the K in the taskbar? | 21:28 |
| commander_ | yeah i c it | 21:28 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: search for kooldock and then right click and add to favourites | 21:29 |

| shadeslayer | in the search results? | 21:31 |
| jjesse | one other question on my new drive that is now formated it is mounted and only writeable by root or with admin password, is that something i need to change in /etc/fstab? | 21:32 |
| * shadeslayer needs a interesting problem to stay awake | 21:32 | |
| shadeslayer | jjesse: which partition?? NTFS? | 21:32 |
| agata | hmm here goes a silly question.. but when i go to the package manager.. is ther any way of seeing it by program name and not by library name? got confused all the time | 21:32 |
| commander_ | nope.nada | 21:32 |
| shadeslayer | commander_: i dont know but try and see if you can add custom commands to the menu...im not too sure that theres an option but you can try | 21:33 |
| shadeslayer | agata: like seeing only the meta package? | 21:34 |
| agata | yeah shadeslayer just one.. seeing all the libraries name confuses me a lot.. maybe like adept installer used to look... an icon and the name of the program to install... | 21:34 |
| agata | i just installed 9.04 and i am slightly lost | 21:35 |
| shadeslayer | agata: well you can do apt-cache search <package_name> | 21:35 |
| agata | hmm but i think i will have to reinstall | 21:35 |
| agata | i cannot use it something is wrong | 21:35 |
| shadeslayer | agata: that lists packages and lists a short description | 21:35 |
| shadeslayer | agata: what!! you cannont use apt-cache?? | 21:36 |
| shadeslayer | *cannot? | 21:36 |
| agata | it did not work before | 21:36 |
| jjesse_ | sorry computer locked up, it is an ext3 parition | 21:36 |
| agata | i will give another try now, kpackagekit is not working at all here | 21:36 |
| agata | but apt-get.. ill try again | 21:36 |
| shadeslayer | agata: you might need to reinstall...a bad ISO maybe? | 21:37 |
| === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse | ||
| agata | hmm took it from the same place than always | 21:37 |
| agata | oh so apt-get is working | 21:37 |
| agata | is just kpackagemanager | 21:38 |
| shadeslayer | jjesse: if this partition is on a external HD , you will need to supply the password everytime,or you can add a line to fstab to mount it directly | 21:38 |
| shadeslayer | agata: sudo apt-get install kpackagekit | 21:38 |
| agata | anyway shadeslayer the installation ended too early, the computer turned off (it ovrheats a bit) | 21:38 |
| jjesse | shadeslayer: its an internal drive in a second enclosure | 21:38 |
| agata | and i dunno if that might have messed up something | 21:38 |
| agata | i see there is some problemwith xulrunner, apparently.. i will reinstall tomorrow *sigh* | 21:39 |
| shadeslayer | jjesse: oh,i got it,if you want it mount automatically add a line to fstab , if you want it mount when you click it you can check the box which says remember authorization | 21:39 |
| shadeslayer | agata: too bad | 21:39 |
| jjesse | shadeslayer: ok thanks | 21:39 |
| DaskreeCH | agata: What's the problem? | 21:40 |
| agata | no idea DaskreeCH just some error message when using aptget | 21:40 |
| DaskreeCH | what error? | 21:40 |
| agata | yet the software got installed | 21:40 |
| shadeslayer | jjesse: you can easily see the fstab entries and manipulate them to your needs , sudo fdisk -l gives the device mount point and blkid gives UUID | 21:40 |
| agata | i will pastebin it sec | 21:40 |
| agata | here it is DaskreeCH http://pastebin.com/m2f0b9ba6 | 21:42 |

| agata | and paste it? | 21:43 |
| DaskreeCH | did it error out? | 21:43 |

| JohnFlux | kubuntu.org says: | 22:36 |
| JohnFlux | What type of computer do you | 22:36 |
| JohnFlux | it accidently the whole word | 22:36 |
| JohnFlux | http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download | 22:36 |
| keri | join #unity-coders | 22:38 |
| JohnFlux | is it possible to download a dvd iso of kubuntu? | 22:38 |
| JohnFlux | My university blocks bittorrent :-( | 22:38 |
| Dragnslcr | JohnFlux- yeah, some of the mirrors should have it | 22:39 |
| Dragnslcr | I'll try to dig one up | 22:39 |
| JohnFlux | cool | 22:39 |
| Dragnslcr | As far as I know, the DVD only has extra language packages, so you most likely only need the CD anyway | 22:40 |
| DaskreeCH | JohnFlux: yes | 22:40 |
| DaskreeCH | Dragnslcr: not so | 22:40 |
| Dragnslcr | That's what I kept getting for an answer here | 22:41 |
| DaskreeCH | JohnFlux: What version? | 22:41 |
| JohnFlux | 9.04 | 22:41 |
| DaskreeCH | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/9.04/release/ | 22:42 |

| DaskreeCH | <3 | 22:43 |

| DaskreeCH | That would be news to me I'd really like to know how I've been doing that all this time then | 22:45 |
| Dragnslcr | Heh | 22:45 |
| Dragnslcr | Well that makes me feel a little better about seeding the torrents for the DVD's | 22:46 |
| DaskreeCH | Why? | 22:46 |
| CBFreak | Hi, I've a problem... I'm using Ubuntu with KDE, Gnome and others desktops, and when I rotatate the cube, I see in the face one, the Gnome's desktop. Is this possible??? How I can fix it? Sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina. | 22:47 |
| CBFreak | rotate* | 22:47 |
| Dragnslcr | You aren't expecting to see different desktop environments on each side of the cube, are you? | 22:48 |
| LadyNikon | CBFreak: why are you saying sorry for english.. it looks tfine to me | 22:48 |
| LadyNikon | Dragnslcr: its typically only one desktop environment | 22:48 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon, thanks... | 22:48 |
| Dragnslcr | LadyNikon- yes, I know, that's why I'm making sure that that isn't what CBFreak is expecting | 22:49 |
| CBFreak | Drangnslcr: I'm using only KDE 4.2 | 22:49 |
| Dragnslcr | CBFreak- so you're using KDE right now? | 22:49 |
| CBFreak | I'm expecting to see only KDE, no KDE above Gnome | 22:49 |
| CBFreak | Dragnslcr: yes | 22:49 |
| Dragnslcr | And what exactly happens when you rotate the cube? | 22:50 |
| spinfusor | hubye frebenz... I'm trying to upgrade the restricted packages but as soon as I get the blue screen verifying java's install, I can't click OK out of it... any help? (to update the restricted packages) | 22:50 |
| CBFreak | Draglor: I see the normal cube, but above the Gnome desktop | 22:50 |
| CBFreak | The face one of the cube, the desktop one, has KDE and Gnome in the back | 22:51 |
| Dragnslcr | I guess I don't understand what you mean | 22:52 |
| LadyNikon | Dragnslcr: what CBFreak means is that he/she is seeing kde and gnome in the same instance.. on different sides of the cube | 22:52 |
| LadyNikon | instead of seeing all gnome or all KDE. | 22:52 |
| Dragnslcr | Except that isn't really possible | 22:52 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: nono, in the same side | 22:52 |
| LadyNikon | oh wow | 22:52 |
| CBFreak | I'm a man | 22:53 |
| CBFreak | :P | 22:53 |
| LadyNikon | CBFreak: i dont assume | 22:53 |
| DaskreeCH | CBFreak: Can you give us screenshot? | 22:53 |
| Dragnslcr | CBFreak- what exactly do you mean by "Gnome in the back" | 22:53 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, a screenshot would help | 22:53 |
| LadyNikon | CBFreak: so you turn the cube.. and you see gnome and kde on the same side.. gotcha | 22:53 |
| Dragnslcr | You don't just mean Gnome applications, do you? | 22:53 |
| LadyNikon | CBFreak: are you sure its not a background thats similar or something? | 22:54 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: nono, I see Gnome's wallpapers and icons | 22:54 |
| LadyNikon | and kde's wallpaper and icons at the same time? | 22:54 |
| CBFreak | back KDE, KDE is above gnome, I don't know, I'm spanish :P | 22:54 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: yes | 22:55 |
| LadyNikon | CBFreak: there is a #kubuntu-es | 22:55 |
| LadyNikon | if you feel there is a language barrier | 22:55 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: yes, but they don't help me | 22:55 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, we'd need a screenshot | 22:55 |
| LadyNikon | kde on the top and gnome on the bottom | 22:55 |
| LadyNikon | all in the same screen on the same side. | 22:55 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: YESS!!!! | 22:56 |
| LadyNikon | gotcha | 22:56 |
| LadyNikon | see that was simple :p | 22:56 |
| LadyNikon | can you toggle between the two? or do you see the mouse move twice? | 22:56 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: sorry, I don't understand... the others faces of the cube are ok | 22:57 |
| spinfusor | I get to the Package Configuration for Sun java6-bin (licensing portion) I can't click out of it to continue the update... any tips? | 22:57 |
| LadyNikon | CBFreak: you say you have 2 instances of a desktop session running at one time | 22:57 |
| Dragnslcr | CBFreak- take a screenshot and post it somewhere we can see it | 22:57 |
| LadyNikon | i am wondering if you can see the mouse move in both of them | 22:58 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: no, the mouse is moving only in KDE | 22:59 |
| LadyNikon | ok | 22:59 |
| CBFreak | I'll try to make an screenshot | 22:59 |
| LadyNikon | did you try to reboot your windows manager? | 22:59 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: yes, I reboot the system too | 22:59 |
| LadyNikon | still no va huh? | 23:00 |
| LadyNikon | brb | 23:00 |
| CBFreak | still that | 23:01 |

| LadyNikon | CBFreak: thats not kde on top of gnome | 23:08 |
| LadyNikon | oh wait | 23:08 |
| LadyNikon | yes it is | 23:08 |
| LadyNikon | thats creepy | 23:08 |
| LadyNikon | heh i thought you took a pic with your camera | 23:09 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: what? | 23:09 |
| LadyNikon | and the mouse moves around the gnome session | 23:10 |
| LadyNikon | does the clodk and time move also? | 23:10 |
| LadyNikon | clock* | 23:10 |
| CBFreak | LadyNikon: the mouse doesn't move on the Gnome desktop, only on KDE | 23:12 |
| LadyNikon | CBFreak: does it move over it though | 23:12 |
| LadyNikon | i dont see the icons for KDE. | 23:13 |
| CBFreak | The icons for KDE are in the bottom-left | 23:14 |
| commander_ | does anyone have kooldock | 23:14 |
| CBFreak | some idea? | 23:15 |
| Dragnslcr | CBFreak- all I get from the link you posted is a landing page. Try putting your screenshot on http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 23:17 |
| CBFreak | I'll put that on there too: http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6085/screenshotr.png | 23:17 |
| CBFreak | I put that already | 23:18 |
| CBFreak | wow i don't know to speak :P | 23:18 |
| Dragnslcr | If that's real, I don't even know how you could ever work like that | 23:20 |
| Dragnslcr | Do you really have your working area at that weird angle in the middle of the screen? | 23:20 |
| linda_ | Dragnslcr: it's a desktop cube being rotated =) | 23:23 |
| Twittery | Hi, does anyone know how to cancel the music at the startup | 23:23 |
| CBFreak | linda_: yes, is that | 23:24 |
| Dragnslcr | CBFreak- so you only get those Gnome desktop icons while the cube is rotating? | 23:24 |
| Dragnslcr | Twittery- System Settings -> Notifications, then for Event source it's KDE System Notifications | 23:25 |

| CBFreak | DaskreeCH: yes, I have | 23:27 |
| DaskreeCH | and you use compiz in it? | 23:27 |
| DaskreeCH | And I guess this is compiz in KDE? | 23:28 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, I was wondering if compiz and kwin are both running at the same time and getting in each other's way | 23:28 |
| LuisJa | my kde control module says i have 4 actualizations blocked, why? | 23:28 |
| DaskreeCH | can you have them run at the same time? | 23:29 |

| LuisJa | yes | 23:29 |
| CBFreak | NONO I'M USING KWIN ONLY | 23:29 |
| DaskreeCH | CBFreak: Oh then I don't know I was thinking that it would be the Compiz buffer being written in from the cache | 23:30 |
| Dragnslcr | LuisJa- yeah, I'm not sure why they're blocked, when they used to work fine. If you want to install the kernel updates, you can run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 23:30 |
| CBFreak | LuisJa: I don't know what, but you fix that with "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" | 23:30 |
| DaskreeCH | I would hope that kwin and compiz use differnt buffers though | 23:30 |
