[00:00] cmreigrut, have you tried Wicd, much superior to network management [00:01] brb, gotta set up the sprinklers [00:01] That was the earlier suggestion, and I'll still probably give it a try [00:01] But at least I have nm functional now [00:09] * Captain_Haddock concurs on wicd... it's excellent [00:09] set gui_url_mod 0 [00:09] while the network manager widget is a big improvement on earlier solutions, it's still far from perfect [00:10] wicd's "connect before logging in" feature alone is worth its weight in gold [00:12] Captain_Haddock, the network managerment widget is unpredictable. Sometimes connects without a hitch and other times it keeps asking for pw's. [00:12] on my setup at least [00:13] BluesKaj: yep. I faced a lot of issues with it misbehaving on my laptop... esp. when the pc wakes up from sleep mode [00:14] and the incessant password requests really ticked me off :/ [00:15] time to sleep [00:15] g'night!

[02:55] origin, ah, good question... i use the classic style menu. seems the Menu Editor doesn't correspond to the new Kickoff Menu [02:55] i have this page: http://www.cabezadejapi.com/cdp_window/cdp_06_chicle.html , but i cant see the video because it says a unknown plugin is missing, can someone help me?

[02:57] origin, most likely [02:58] luis__, "sudo apt-get install mplayerplug-in" [02:59] thx [02:59] origin, open dolphin. see the 'places' menu on the left pane? that's where the Computer entries come from apparently [02:59] luis__, de nada [02:59] origin, i just added /opt to that panel, and now it shows up in Kmenu > Computer [03:00] Hmm... I'm trying to add to the "Applications" bit though... Hrmm... [03:01] origin, oh... you should be able to use regular Menu Editor for that... right? [03:02] Nope. that only adds to the "Applications" tab. I mean the bit under the "Computer" tab that says "Applications". In 9.04 it has "System Settings" and "Run Command..." in it. [03:03] origin, i don't seem to have the same config :/ [03:03] You don't? Your on 9.04? [03:04] origin, oh yes, now i see it [03:04] origin, sorry never used this style menu before... 'applications' is very small on my screen [03:04] ohh I see [03:04] ign0ramus: Yea, I wanna add stuff to that [03:05] hello+ [03:05] ign0ramus: Namely, a direct link to the add/remove programs thing. and link to Konsole link would be nice too. [03:05] origin, let me see if i can find where they are called from [03:05] I could just stick links in the Favorates area, but that seems klunky... [03:09] origin, hmm... this seems to be trickier than first imagined [03:09] Is it hard-coded into the Kickoff source or something crazy like that? [03:10] origin, highly doubtful. [03:10] origin, but where the config file is.... good question. [03:10] I was going to say, that seems very non-modular [03:11] origin, /home/user/.kde/share/config/kickoffrc is close but no cigar [03:11] Allready saw that. [03:11] I tried searching for a default or system-wide setting in /usr found nothing. [03:12] no usefull hits for "kickoff*" [03:12] origin, results replicated here :( [03:12] Where in the KDE source-tree is Kickoff anyway? Is it a plasma applet? [03:12] origin, yes, the kmenu is now a widget [03:13] Yea I found it. /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/applets/kickoff [03:13] origin, really? [03:13] Yea http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/applets/kickoff/ [03:14] origin, so you have to re-compile? [03:14] That's the trunk version and I'm not running from SVN, but i doubt it's changed much since 4.3 beta [03:14] ign0ramus: I dunno yet. I'm just looking for clues in the source. [03:21] ign0ramus: Hmm... now I'm not familiar with Plasma Programing or C++ so this is a little difficult... hrmm [03:33] What does "::" mean in C++? [03:35] origin, i'm not a programmer either [03:36] I am a programer, just Java. Not C++ [03:36] origin, got it!

[03:38] origin, you have to add a new section: " [SystemApplications] " [03:38] ei i have a problem with kubuntu shuting down, it says: unable to halt, no such file or directory, and it doesnt tunrs down :( [03:38] ign0ramus: Nice. Okay thanks! [03:39] origin, np... stuff like that bothers me too :P [03:41] luis__, is this using the "leave" button in Kmenu? [03:41] luis__, and is that the full error? [03:42] I'm still tracking though the Kickoff code to see how it loads them... because I want to know now. [03:42] xD [03:43] origin, i do the same thing... usually im in over my head at first, but as you learn more, it starts to make sense :) [03:43] ign0ramus: no, when using konsole to shutdown i also have the halt problem [03:44] luis__, can you pastebin your /etc/init.d/reboot please [03:44] and yes, thats the full error, it cant automatically shutdown [03:44] ???

[03:46] ign0ramus: http://pastebin.com/mbab9f68 [03:47] luis__, make a backup of this file: "sudo cp /etc/init.d/reboot /etc/init.d/reboot.bak" [03:47] luis__, then modify your version in kate; remove the "-d" option on Line 20 [03:47] luis__, save, exit, restart X. then *hopefully* rebooting will work properly [03:47] holda, i paste sudo cp /etc/init.d/reboot /etc/init.d/reboot.bak in konsole? [03:47] luis__, si [03:48] ok, i hope [03:49] luis__, verify that /etc/init.d/reboot.bak now exists [03:49] ok i will reboot now [03:49] luis__, you restarted X first? [03:49] thx dude, if i have problems, i will contact with u tomorrow :) [03:49] i dont have more time, cya [03:49] luis__, you have my msn [03:49] luis__, saludos [03:49] no, i will contact u by irc lol [03:49] adios [03:50] luis__, ok. goodnight [03:50] :) [03:54] What is the name of the widget that shows the open applications on the taskbar?

I've traced it back to the KDE core libaries where it loads the config files... lol [04:08] origin, have fun messing with those! :P [04:08] It's actualy quite clever. It just asks KDE for it's config. It does't need to know where KDE stores it. Abstraction is awsome. =D [04:08] Ahmuck: You are DISGUSTING, no one wants to talk to you.

It loads the dirs though http://api.kde.org/4.0-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/classKStandardDirs.html but that loads them from a resource file... [04:17] origin, "....So the search algorithm basically appends to each prefix each registered suffix and tries to locate the file there." [04:17] origin, awesome. [04:18] origin, so what does " :: " mean? [04:19] ign0ramus: No idea. I think it might just declare methods of classes. [04:19] Any C++ coders here care to shed some light on what "::" means? [04:19] It isn't static class method?

[07:50] I have two sets of speakers. Tinny ones and big ones. I want almost everything to play though the big ones and use the tinny ones for notifications. Phonon can do this but Flashplayer isn't useing that apparently so I need to figure out what it's playing it's sound though so I can change it. to the right speakers... [07:56] *sigh* is there some funky way of forceing GTK apps to use Phonon. Just pushing sound though it I mean instead of ALSA or OSS or something old like that. [08:01] origin: that's not a problem of GTK, it's a flash problem IMHO [08:02] Mamarok: Before (before I re-installed linux) I solved it by makeing pulse audio the default for everything and set pulse's default sink to the big speakers. So it can be done... [08:03] origin: in KDE? [08:05] Yea. KDE4 had it's default for all types of sound (appart from the notifications, which were pointed directly at the tinny speakers' output) pointed at pulseaudio. Pulse was setup with the big speakers as the default sink. [08:05] All KDE4 apps used phonon. So their sound was routed though pulse. Everything else just used pulse. [08:05] KDE itself is the only think that realy makes notification sounds so it all worked quite well. [08:06] pulse isn't installed this time round and I'm looking if it's possible to do it without it. [08:06] I mean. Pulse isn't installed. and flash can play sound, just thought the wrong speakers, so it must be playing though something. [08:07] where are alsa's config files... [08:10] hi, does anyone use unetbootin? [08:12] Ah! Problem solved. Flash was useing ALSA. So I made an /etc/asound.conf to set the default sound card.

[09:39] thao: 100% degrades quality some, you can whack it to the to pif you wish [09:40] ActionParsnip: i set it 100% already, [09:40] ok thats cool [09:40] also run the command you gave me [09:40] and restart ff [09:40] and no sound [09:40] :) [09:41] ok [09:41] let me hunt some more [09:41] Hi. So stumbled on to this problem once again today. Trying to change ownership on a file with the charachter ø fails. I get the following error: "Could not change owner on this file: verdigrunnlag og �velser.doc". Any Ideas as to how to konquer ;p this issue. I have always solved it from the commandline before. But the whole thing really bugs me and it shouldn't really be an issue, this is after all 2009... [09:45] thao: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136556&page=3 [09:45] ka: kdesudo konqueror [09:46] ka: change the filename then close konqueror [09:47] thao: do you have other flash plugins install like gnash / swfplayer etc? [09:49] ActionParsnip: no,i don't have [09:50] thao: good [09:50] thao: they fight and nothing works :) [09:51] * thao restart [09:51] ActionParsnip: I forgot to say that I am already root ;) === carl_ is now known as Snowdeamon [09:52] ka: you shouldnt be root, you should be you [09:52] ka: enabling the root account reduces system security [09:53] ka: and running web based apps (especially irc) is possibly the worst thing to do [09:54] ActionParsnip: It was just my way of saying I already done this as "kdesudo konqueror". Or else I wouldn't be able to change the permissions... [09:54] me/ know the dangers of running root. [09:55] ka: good, i just hate folks running x as root when they are just browsing the web, its retarded. Glad you are aware [09:55] ActionParsnip: finally [09:55] :D [09:55] it's work [09:55] ka: you could try globbing [09:55] thao: nice [09:55] ActionParsnip: thanks, [09:55] bb [09:56] * ka scratches his head, while he googles "globbing" [09:56] ka: copy the file to its own folder === pc4us is now known as Sebbyz [09:58] ka: then run a command like: for i in ls; do mv "i$" ./new; done [09:59] ka: there is only one file in the folder so only one file will be mv'd [09:59] ka: you will need to cd into the new folder too [09:59] hm. But this is only one of many files in one of many different folders. That would take hours. Easier with the commandline then. But as I said this really shouldn't happen. Konq should be able to do simple operations like changing permissions just as well as any comandline... [09:59] ka: you can sudo chmod and sudo chown [10:00] ka: sudo chown $USER ./ [10:00] ka: or you can use: sudo chown -R $USER /some/directory to recursively chown all files and folders [10:01] Yeah I know, I'm just dissapointed at konqueror... [10:03] But thanks anyway. So should I file a bug report? This also applies to changing filenames on files with umlaut characters... [10:03] ka: if you wish [10:03] ka: i dont use konqueror (or any gui file manager) so I am not aware if this is a sortcoming [10:04] s/sortcoming/shortcoming [10:07] I have been tempted but the very same notion. But I don't know all the commands I would need to know. But this recurring problem has got me thinking again... As Perry DeAngelis said: "Question everything!" [10:07] hi [10:07] i've a problem [10:07] :P [10:07] cristian: Let's have it [10:07] haha [10:08] it's simple... I see the same windows on all the desktops... I wanna REAL four desktops in kde [10:08] like gnome [10:09] Hm strange it works the same. So you must have done something strange. [10:11] There is a button the lets you see a window on all desktops. Its on the left side on the top. It's a circle with a dot inside. click this and the window will only be visible on that one desktop. [10:12] I mean same windows on the panel [10:12] sorry for my english [10:13] aha. Just right click on the taskbar and choose settings then under filters just show windows for current desktop. [10:14] You will have to have an empty space to clik on or else you woun't get the right context menu. [10:14] aah [10:15] i'll see that [10:15] ka: THANK YOUUU!!!!!!!!!!! [10:16] no problem. [10:17] It's difficult to [10:17] accustom [10:17] to kde 4.2 [10:17] :P [10:17] adapt* [10:18] after kde 3.5 [10:22] After a while everything just seems more intuitive..at least for me. But some problems seems never to be solved (the same ones the were in 3.5) [10:23] yes, maybe [10:25] quit [10:29] hm Anyone else using quassel? [10:30] yes, me [10:31] What is the point of having a quassel icon in the systemtray when It sits in the taskbar if I minimize the app? I I try to close it then it shuts down! I mean wtf? [10:33] ka: hahaha [10:33] I wonder the same thing [10:35] i think that konversation is better [10:36] Yes I might have to go back. This is a serious usabilitybug... What were they thinking? [10:37] I don't know... It's very uncomfortable [10:42] ka_: there is an option in the settings to turn that behaviour on [10:42] its just not on by default. [10:43] ka: its under Misc in the settings [10:44] jussi01: ah... much better [10:45] ka: :D Perhaps file a bug mentioning that should be on by default [10:45] I was thinking the exact same thing... [10:46] * jussi01 points ka to Launchpad [10:46] !bug | ka [10:46] ka: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [10:47] Isn't it better to file it upstream? [10:48] Or does it automatically get redirected to kde? [10:49] ka: quassel is independant of KDE [10:49] ka: however, settings like that will probably be set by Ubuntu. [10:49] I thought it was the default KDE4 irc client. Maybe I misread default kubuntu to mean default KDE4 [10:50] ka: I thinkk maybe. [10:50] ka: quassel is cross platform, windows, mac and linux [10:50] :) [10:51] Aha good point . I also have issues with the quassel settings. The gui is not consistent. [10:51] ka: so please, We would love to see a bug filed. :) [10:51] or bugs as the case maybe [10:51] I am on it. just need to formulate my thought to a coherent mass of genius ideas. [10:52] thought=thoughts [10:53] ka: if they are not just settings bugs, you can of course pop them on quassel-irc.org [10:53] and maybe join #quassel to have a chat about them, but dont substitute chat for actually filing bugs :) [10:54] Could not upload report data to crash database: [10:54] HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable [10:55] ka launchpad planed maintenance 24th June 2009 from 09.00 UTC [10:55] robin0800: ah... thanks [11:01] is there anyone using kopete to connect to yahoo? cos right now it's not working saying with error 10, even though last night it worked just fine [11:01] !yahoo | shanipribadi [11:01] shanipribadi: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.

[12:30] ka: i dont think that will help...bum installs or removes scripts/programs....i think he might have to blacklist or remocve the module and modprobe it to get it back :) [12:30] *remove [12:30] ka, ok. [12:31] hi [12:31] shadeslayer: Nope I don't think so just uses bum for this yesterday... But I am not 100% sure [12:31] ka: me neither... [12:31] uses=used [12:31] ka: i got it [12:32] i have a problem, when i try to enter the password after i type "su" in terminal i cant type [12:32] ka: we can add a line to rc.local to bring down the interface [12:32] Anon1: just type the pass and press enter..its a security feature [12:33] Anon1: Just type and press enter when finished.

[12:35] ah sorry I am not quit awake.. [12:35] grandi: adept is depriciated [12:35] ka: hehe also see man hciconfig [12:36] tdn: ok please see the man pages of hciconfig to bring down the interface [12:36] so what's going to replace it? [12:36] grandi: kpackagekit [12:36] !info kpackagekit | grandi [12:36] grandi: kpackagekit (source: kpackagekit): KDE package management tool using PackageKit. In component main, is extra. Version 0.4-0ubuntu8.1 (jaunty), package size 236 kB, installed size 756 kB [12:37] tdn: you can add a line to rc.local...but that will get the interface down only after the boot...not before it [12:38] if anyone has a better idea..please suggest :) [12:38] shadeslayer: that's quite minimalistic [12:39] to say the least [12:39] Anon1: Seems like you could write hciconfig down to stop bluetooth and hciconfig up to start it. [12:39] grandi: sorry? [12:40] grandi: if you dont like kpackagekit then use apt-get and apt-cache [12:40] +search [12:40] shadeslayer: how do you browse packages with kpackagekit [12:40] grandi, you can install adept, synaptic also [12:40] ka, bum appearently only allows me to disable services. I want to not even load the module. [12:40] or do you use add/remove packages for that? [12:40] grandi: have you installed kpackagekit? [12:40] yes [12:41] tdn: ah.... rmmod [12:41] shadeslayer, I would really not like to start it up at all. [12:41] shadeslayer, that does only remove the module. [12:41] I have empty search field there [12:41] shadeslayer, I want the module to not be loaded at all. [12:41] grandi: just type and press enter [12:41] doesn't really help me if I want to browse packages for something interesting [12:41] type what? the idea of GUI is that it gives you hints to what you can do [12:42] without those hints I could just use apt-get [12:42] tdn: I dont know if it makes any difference. having the module installed but not enabled doesn't use battery or increase boot time... [12:42] grandi: thats a downside i agree... [12:43] tdn: rmmod module removes the module and does not load/start the service [12:44] shadeslayer, I know. I do not want the module to be loaded during start up. Same with service. Bluetooth service should not start up during boot. [12:45] ka, it seems that it does save battery. According to powertop. [12:45] tdn: as i said it will *not* be loaded [12:45] tdn: dont listen to powertop [12:45] shadeslayer, rmmod only unloads the module. The module is loaded next time I boot. [12:46] tdn: then blacklist it [12:46] !blacklist | tdn [12:46] tdn: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [12:47] shadeslayer, thanks. [12:47] tdn: no problem :) [12:48] bazhang: there? [12:49] shadeslayer, yes [12:49] bazhang: can i talk for a minute in PM about the kubuntu tutorials coming up? [12:49] shadeslayer, no idea about them, why not just say in channel [12:49] It seems that I have synaptic, add/remove programs and kpackagekit installed [12:50] it's as bad as gnome :( [12:50] shadeslayer, which Kubuntu tutorials? Sounds interesting. Please let us know about it :) [12:50] bazhang: ok.. thanks,should i ask here or ot ? [12:50] tdn: /topic [12:50] grandi: personally i prefer cli [12:50] Ok. [12:51] I like GUI because most of the time I don't have any idea what I'm doing [12:53] grandi: well apt-cache search gives me quite a good list [12:54] sure, but if you browse those packages you can find real gems [12:55] yeah [12:55] related question. if I want to install kformula why does it want to uninstall 221 packages [12:55] grandi: dependency problems [12:55] !dependency [12:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about dependency [12:56] that's what I digured out [12:56] argh.. whats the factoid for this [12:56] grandi: oh good you know already :) [12:56] but considering that kformula is part of KDE Office Suite it's bit odd [12:57] any potential package which is *very* important? [12:57] that it wants to uninstall? [12:57] grandi: yep [12:59] dolphin, gwenview, kate, kdebase-bin, -data, -plasma, -runtime etc. [12:59] grandi: do not install that package [12:59] well it seemed to be quite bad tradeoff [13:00] kformula vs. working system [13:01] heh... [13:01] grandi: dont worry itll probably be solved in a few days.. [13:18] hi! [13:19] It's the fisrt time to ues the program [13:19] Is there anybody ?

[13:24] but the commands should be the same in gnome and kde [13:24] yeah [13:25] so what command did you use on gnome to look up your dvd device? [13:25] cd/dvd* [13:25] what about 'sudo lshw' [13:26] you can have a try [13:26] I already used that, but the k3b devs say that they need to know exactly which device it is in /ev for example [13:27] o ! that's a mess. [13:28] I also tried ls -l /dev* but it doesnt come up with a dvd device [13:28] i wish you can get the anwer from the others.

[14:43] scrolling and resizing slows down to an annoying level [14:44] that's a recurring problem all the way from 4.0 up to 4.3 beta2.. [14:44] in text editors ? [14:45] I thought it was all my ATI Radeon card with incomplete xorg drivers, but I bought a new nvidia card (in big part because I wanted to have a smooth KDE4 experience) and it still happens, not to such an extent, but still annoying [14:45] BluesKaj, in text editors, amarok, lists in settings.. [14:47] I guess it's not anything critical, but still.. the idea is to be smooth :) [14:47] Hi @ all [14:47] I have an older nvidia 7600GT card and haven't experienced such a problem , but I don't have any large playlists or texts , altho i have noticed the netradio lists in amarok are slow to respond [14:48] yeah, that's that kind of thing [14:48] Q: Any alternative to enscript to encode (UTF8-)Text to ps/pdf?

[15:07] ubottu: ifconfig [15:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig [15:07] in kde [15:08] ksfree "kopete" [15:08] i think [15:08] ksfree: dolphin [15:08] ksfree: or fillezilla [15:08] it dipens [15:08] bondgirl: if you don't know, please don't say [15:08] bondgirl: If you are configuring it manually at console, the file to modify is /etc/network/interfaces if you do: man interfaces it gives you some simple examples [15:08] ok dolphin then.. [15:08] ksfree: dolphin is the default filemanager in Kubuntu 9.04 [15:08] Mamarok: is it installed by default [15:09] ? [15:09] ksfree: alternately you can use konqueror (although it is not default ;-) [15:09] i guess that yes [15:09] Genii : thanks [15:09] makdaknife: thank you [15:09] bondgirl: You're welcome [15:09] mamarok: i was only helping! [15:09] ksfree: of course it is, open the menu and there it is [15:10] bondgirl: np, just stick to what is default in your advice [15:10] ksfree: np... konqueror used to be the default filemanager... but I guess that some people felt that its focus should remain on being a browser, while dolphin could concentrate on file management related tasks [15:10] Mamarok: also haven't slept much :( === keffie_jayx_ is now known as keffie_jayx [15:11] makdaknife: konqueror uses the same background application than dolphin [15:11] Mamarok: indeed :-) [15:11] and Dolphin is default in KDE 4 [15:11] so no need to compilcate things [15:12] Mamarok: after using konqueror for about 4 years solidly... I found switching to dolphin pretty complicated :-) [15:13] Mamarok: but I hear your point... loud and clear [15:13] makdaknife: well, we are talking about a new user here, so no need to make it compilcated, just stay in context [15:15] pritty name :D dolphin :D [15:15] genii: still don't understand :( make a file that looks like that one? [15:15] Mamarok: not to argue, but I thought that this was one ofthe beautiful things about linux... there is hardly ever one way to do things... its good to know that if the app you're using doesn't work for you, there are alternatives [15:16] Mamarok: its sorta like trying to force everyone to use amarok as their media player, just because its installed by default [15:16] makdaknife: :D i do like vlc player :D [15:17] bondgirl: I agree... it definitely has its place... although for listening to music generally, amarok rocks like mamarok [15:17] bondgirl: There are some examples here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [15:18] folks, discussion is in #kubuntu-offtopic, please [15:18] ok :D i do am used to itunes, but for a reason my amarok krashes :( [15:18] @ home [15:18] genii: thanks [15:20] how can I create a video from my desktop?

[15:29] Dragnslcr: what about chown jim:host [15:29] If you want to change just the group, you can use chgrp. If you want to change both, chown user:group [15:31] i think its used as : chowm me:myhost [15:32] No, it's user:group [15:32] File ownership doesn't have a host [15:33] ok...

[15:43] Serpardum- either "lspci | grep -i audio" or "aplay -l" should give you some hardware info [15:45] Hmm.. I have nvidia audio, but I n eed to know if it's OSS audio Driver, ALSA audio driver or PulseAudio. I don't see that in the listing [15:47] System Settings -> Multimedia will at least tell you if it's using pulseaudio [15:48] The sound system has changed in such weird ways lately that I can't really follow what's used anymore [15:51] Serpardum: if you have a basic KDE system, Phonon uses alsa, unless you have pulseaudio isntalled [15:57] hm.. [15:57] Is there a kubuntu KDE 4.3 svn repository? [15:57] hi, any one know of a good text expansion/replacement program for kubuntu (not autokey which is broken in jaunty)? [16:04] libervisco: yes, but be aware that it's still beta [16:04] libervisco: it's in the kubuntu backports PPA, see the topic [16:05] hello. Anyone else having xorg using 50% of your cpu and Everything being sloooooow? [16:06] I will kiss on the mouth anyone that can help me get nvidia hdmi audio out working [16:07] declan: whats your processor speed? [16:08] its a dual core 4400+ amd 64x2 [16:08] declan: 4.4 Ghz? [16:08] yeah [16:09] declan: tried restarting? [16:10] yeah. a few times. It's a persistant problem [16:10] X i mean :P [16:10] declan: graphics card? [16:10] sometimes runs fine and then suddenly freezes or slows and looks like xorg is the culprit [16:11] declan: what does top in a terminal show? [16:11] onboard ati think its a 3200 [16:11] declan: drivers properly installed? [16:11] they should be. Auto install by kubuntu [16:11] declan: actually no.. [16:12] !ati | declan [16:12] declan: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:12] Mamarok, I already use backports.. beta2, I mean svn (nightly) [16:12] top shows xorg has settled down now but still at 20% [16:12] declan: you probably need the drivers [16:12] ah ok. I'll take a look. cheers [16:12] declan: that very much sounds like a proprietary driver problem, especially if it's ATI [16:13] libervisco: there is nothing never yet AFAIK [16:13] libervisco: it will be announced on kubuntu.org if there is something never available usually [16:13] mainly asking because of this http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/urgen-testing-prior-to-rc-1.html [16:13] ok [16:13] i thought ati were playing nicer than nvidia? [16:14] declan: in your dreams :P [16:14] libervisco- the release candidate is supposed to be tagged this week and released next week, so there should be new packages available late next week [16:14] cool :) [16:14] thought maybe amd made them nicer or something? [16:14] declan: if your card is older than a year, then it's likely not in the driver anymore [16:15] its onboard so is probably quite old [16:15] Mamarok: were the dependencies solved? [16:15] libervisco- http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.3_Release_Schedule [16:15] shadeslayer: what dependencies? [16:15] declan, AMD supports open source driver development, but progress on that is slow.. and even around half a decade old driver is still "experimental" even though it has 3D support (and doesn't play well with KDE4 at all).. [16:15] shadeslayer: oh, you mean KDE 4.2.90? [16:15] Mamarok: yeah [16:15] mamarok: so the proprietry fglrx is best bet? [16:15] proprietary drivers on the other hand no longer support cards older than X850 [16:16] declan, yes if your card is still supported.. [16:16] libervisco: ah. thanks. I'll install flgrx and see how that goe [16:16] s [16:16] declan: no, it's probably worst, and the proprietary is what is installed by default AFAIK [16:16] libervisco: ps : kde-nightly is the best [16:16] Where do you get that? [16:16] !neon [16:16] The Neon Project provides daily Amarok and KDE 4 trunk builds as packages for Kubuntu | See http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon and http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon/KDE/Info for more | Support in #amarok.neon [16:16] oh [16:16] libervisco: ^^ [16:17] thanks [16:18] I thought the installed version would be the open source one? I'm confused now. What can I do about xorg spoiling my kubuntuparty [16:18] libervisco: yaw :) [16:18] declan: it's not Xorg, it's ATI [16:18] don't blame Free Software for the mess made by proprietary manufacturers [16:19] true true [16:19] so do I wait for a new driver? [16:20] if by any chance you have money to spare and your card is old enough to justify, probably best thing is to buy an nvidia card [16:20] declan: use the free driver, maybe it solves your problem [16:20] hey les gens [16:20] I'd doubt that.. free drivers are worse.. [16:20] in my experience [16:20] according to the guide it has no 3d support! [16:21] Is there any french ?

But randomly (well seems random to me) it goes mad and hits 50% of my cpu and loads of ram === cesar_ is now known as Guest65186 [16:27] declan: then you are luckier than I am, my card is not supported anymore :( [16:27] Ah. Sorry man. That is not a good situation for linux [16:28] declan: well, we can do nothing about it, but hope that the free driver gets better [16:28] definately!

Nothing happens when I trag the folder onto collection [16:38] *drag even [16:39] yoga: its possible that compositing has been disabled [16:39] kaddi: you need to "rescan", don't you? Or restart.

[16:40] gives him an error when he attempts to "Save to X Configuration File" [16:41] yoga: a found it, thanks... didn't know you had to do this via configure... :/ [16:43] kaddi: You may also missed the configuration during the first time start. [16:44] the error message is as follows "Cannot create new xorg.conf file '/etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup'" [16:44] yoga: yeah that too.. but I wanted to add a folder to the collections. And it'll let you happily drag and drop a selected folder "Files" to "Collection" without actually doing anything. Which is what was confusing me. I thought this was yet another bug in amarok [17:04] * libervisco is in neon.. [17:06] libervisco: and? Like it? [17:06] yeah, pretty good :) [17:06] Mamarok: 4.3 ? [17:06] so far there are no artifacts [17:06] libervisco: artifacts? [17:07] shadeslayer: why do you ask me? I don't use Neon :) [17:07] this stuff http://memenode.com/misc/KDE4.3-artifacts/ [17:08] but it's still sluggish on lists etc.. [17:09] (like all releases from 4.0 to this) [17:09] sluggish on what lists? [17:09] except a little less === shadesla1er is now known as shadeslayer [17:10] got disconnected there..... [17:10] Mamarok, resizing, scrolling etc. of sidebars in kate, amarok etc. when they list a bunch of stuff, sluggish scrolling in quassel (even delay with sending a message for a couple of seconds), and generally sluggish resizing when desktop effects are enabled (on nvidia 9600GT) === TMKCodes_ is now known as TMKCodes [17:11] well, I don't have many DE enabled [17:12] it happens with just default settings [17:12] Mamarok: neon loads faster than 4.2.4 here :) [17:13] libervisco- Quassel is just plain slow in general. I recommend grabbing the Konversation 1.2 packages from the PPA [17:13] irssi for me [17:14] no gui which can lag :P [17:15] neon lacks qtcurve.. [17:15] libervisco: yeah.... [17:15] i had to compile half the things from a svn [17:16] * shadeslayer is going OT,someone stop him!!! [17:17] Hey guys. I need some help with a great annoyance [17:18] I was using xubuntu up until now and I just installed KDE (apt-get install kubuntu-desktop). During the first boot everything was fine but now for some reason random programs just hang [17:19] this is mostly programs that belong to KDE like Konsole or settings menus [17:22] exit [17:22] so much for patience... [17:22] Heh === keffie_jayx is now known as effie_jayx [17:24] Im using KDE4.3. Every now and then, for some dumb reason (I connect the power cord), KDE tells me that the screen rendering became too slow and that because of that, compositing was disaabled.. How can I disable this auto-compositing-disabling? Its really anoying since this only happens when there is ntohing wrong.. [17:24] I have to say I have been using Kubuntu for about 4 hours now, and KDE is growing on me... === VerliHub is now known as Proxy [17:29] Mamarok: after a month kde 4.3 on kubuntu 9.04 works :) [17:30] shadeslayer: nice :) [17:30] Mamarok: i got 2 dependency errors...had to use -f [17:30] What would cause someone to have to reset their screen resolution every time they loged in???? [17:30] xorg.conf issues? or something else [17:30] hello people...this is my first time here can someone tell me what this chat is about? [17:31] Mamarok: okular and kdepim.. [17:31] kubuntu?

[17:33] shadeslayer: it never was in beta 2 [17:33] Mamarok: i was just confirming :) [17:33] Mamarok: itll be in the PPA when RC 1 is out probably [17:34] shadeslayer: read planetkde,org, so you know and don't have to ask :) [17:34] ok thanks.....my first time here just stumble up on irc and been trying to access this irc chat for a few days [17:34] hey [17:34] ive got toaly stupid question...where do i find all pplication ive manually installed?

[17:37] are there any tutorials for kubuntu? [17:38] joshua__: what are you trying to accomplish?

[17:43] ok makdaknife I think i pm you but waiting on you to come in room [17:43] Mamarok: ye thx m8, well im quite familiar with the krunner...but not all applications show up in there [17:44] sotomayor: it's against the channel rules to propose PM support, just for your information [17:44] n8w: they should though [17:45] Mamarok: It changes back to his default resolution every time he restarts [17:45] Mamarok: sorry... just trying to help... and he wanted 1-on-1 and you're pretty militant about channel rules and I'm not [17:45] Mamarok: and he has to change it back to his setting of 1440x900 [17:46] makdaknife: well, if you do support here you should respect the rules [17:46] yoga: which vrsion of Amarok do you have? [17:46] Mamarok: we're trying to get it so that when he boots up, its at 1440x900 [17:46] beatzz: he can overrun the default settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:47] Mamarok: we actualy went there, I was guideing him over the phone [17:47] Mamarok: Amarok Version 2.0.2 using KDE 4.2.2 [17:47] Mamarok: so I dident get to see his xorg.conf first hand [17:47] Mamarok: ive isntalled suspend2,but nothin rly comes up shile using krunner [17:48] beatzz: well, I am not fail proof on Xorg settings to be honest, didn't touch that in ages [17:48] Can you try to subscribe to this podcast http://www.hkreporter.com/myradio/channel_podcast.php?channelid=181 [17:48] beatzz: but the settings in KDE systemsettings -> Display do not stay at all? [17:48] n8w: well, I don't even know what app this is, sorry, does it have a readme file that came with it? [17:49] Mamarok: I guess not, Im gana look at his system tonight, maby post it on LinuxQuestions.org if i cant figure it out [17:49] yoga: unfortunately, 2.0.2 is already quite old, you should update your version, 2.1 has been released quite some time ago [17:49] Mamarok: it proly is xorg, that was my guess, but he dident find anything about resolutions in his xorg.conf file when I was on the phone w/ him [17:49] beatzz: you should eventuella have a look at kubuntuforums.net [17:50] informative? [17:50] beatzz: well, because the default settings are not in xorg.conf anymore, but one can add some to override the default ones [17:50] Ok, I'll try that. [17:51] beatzz: the default is detected on installation, then one can change settings in the systemsettings, and if this is not enough, add the resolution to xorg.conf [17:52] hi all - i've got a problem. i can connect to this irc chat and to all sites with konqueror but no connection with firefox...does anyone know this problem?

[17:52] Mamarok: how do you "add the resolution to xorg.conf" [17:53] Mamarok: obviously by editing it in, but where do u find the code to insert? [17:53] beatzz: well, that's something I haven't doen in ages, let me look at old config files I have in the archives, moment [17:53] done* [17:56] beatzz: here is an example of a very old configuration file of mine, you will have to change the settings accordingly: [17:56] beatzz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/203006/ [18:00] Mamarok: so the Virtual descriptor and the Modes descriptor dont have to be the same value? [18:00] Mamarok: ex: Virtual 640 480 Mode "640x480@50" [18:01] i will google some [18:01] beatzz: that was just an example I found on my system, I guess it should, yes [18:06] no sound in youtube :S [18:09] libervisco: blame flash [18:09] actually no sound at all right now.. [18:10] and there was no sound in vlc on beta2, but was in amarok.. [18:10] libervisco: well, you are in Neon, aren't you? [18:10] yeah.. but I was just listening to music in amarok, in *neon*, then relogged and it doesn't work anymore [18:11] and Neon uses KDE trunk AND Amarok trunk, so... [18:11] same also happened in 4.3 [18:11] beta2 [18:11] libervisco: so in normal Kubuntu (not Neon) you have sound problems? [18:11] but not in Neon? [18:11] in both [18:11] ouch, not good :( [18:11] libervisco: make sure you use the xine backend in phonon and avoid pulseaudio [18:12] does anybody know how to disable the onboard graphics card for an emachine from 2006? [18:12] yeah xine is used and "HDA Intel" is preferred over pulseaudio everywhere [18:12] ncfi1013_: in the bios I think, you want to use another card? [18:12] in multimedia settings [18:13] libervisco: and you don't have pulseaudio installed? [18:13] mamarock already used bios and yes i want to use another card [18:13] Mamarok, I do [18:13] dont c it n bios [18:13] hm.. [18:14] ncfi1013_: that of course depends on the age of your BIOS too I think [18:14] Mamarok: [18:14] Section "Device" [18:14] Option "UseEDID" "False" <====== add [18:14] Option "PanelSize" "1200x800" [18:14] beatzz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:14] wether it allows you to switch the card from on board to discrete [18:14] !past | beatzz [18:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about past [18:14] mamarock how do i determine that [18:14] :x sorry [18:14] !paste | beatzz [18:14] beatzz: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [18:15] removed now.. gonna relogin.. [18:15] libervisco: wait [18:15] ...the age of my bios [18:15] Mamarok: well anywaz, I found out how to fix that problem [18:15] libervisco: you need to remove ~/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc too [18:15] beatzz: nice :) [18:16] oh [18:16] Mamarok: It seems if, your resolutions are strangly being reset every time the system starts up [18:16] Mamarok: you simple add those 2 lines into the Section "Device" [18:16] and it forces xorg to start at whatever PanelSize you set [18:16] ncfi1013_: the year of your BIOS is shown when you start the computer and switch to the BOIS [18:17] ok brb [18:17] Just sharing the <3 [18:17] linux > * [18:17] bios*, sry [18:17] mamarock so it might not b 2006 mite b older? [18:17] beatzz: great, so that's enough, no need to change other settings? [18:18] ncfi1013_: I don't know, you only can find that out, you need to switch to bios on startup, can't tell you [18:18] Mamarok: I guess, aparently the UseEDID option = flase will tell xorg to NOT use its default detected settings [18:19] Mamarok: the the PanelSize is the next thing xorg will look for to use [18:19] great, thanks for the info, will write that down here [18:19] o_O ?

[19:00] as I mentioned: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197540 [19:00] amarok 2.1 [19:01] hwo do I find out my version of kubuntu?

[19:03] darn buggy prog.... [19:04] andemil: are you the same guy who posted this bug? [19:04] yep indeed I am [19:05] andemil: the bug report was changed to resolved...so isnt your problem solved? [19:05] shadeslayer: the very same ;) [19:05] shadeslayer: it says: resolved downstream [19:05] which means that its not their problem [19:05] but some problem in kubuntu [19:05] as it seems the phonon installation is buggy somehow === andrea is now known as Guest75348 [19:06] but dont ask me how....

I'm not ENTIRELY retarded (I think), but I'm slightly lost when it comes to adding progs to Linux. I'm trying to get emacs set up for some stuff for work, and I ran configure and then invoked make, but when I try to run the emacs executable I'm getting an error of "cannot open termcap databse file" [19:20] any thoughts? [19:21] magres: Do you need to compile the stuff yourself? You get a lot of precompiled programs from the repositories. [19:21] magres: What don't you sudo apt-get install emacs ? [19:22] sudo apt? [19:22] also, yes I need to be able to compile [19:22] !emacs [19:22] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [19:22] I have some viscous hydrodynamics code I have to edit/run [19:22] guwha? [19:22] magres: How did you get the emacs source tree? [19:23] google, basically [19:23] unpacked it into a random folder and started trying to piece my way through the instructions [19:23] I'm still getting used to the console, so it's been interesting lol [19:23] magres: May I ask, why do you want to compile emacs source? [19:24] so I can use it? Fucked if I know, lol [19:24] Essentially its what the rigs at work are running is the only reason [19:24] anyone able to help me get the lastfm app scrobbling for me with either amorak or VLC? [19:25] The only experience I have with Linux before this was running RHEL, and everything then was in a class on rigs that had everything already set up [19:25] magres: ok, you don't have to compile, just install it : (open a terminal, type in "sudo apt-get install emacs") [19:25] magres: you can simply download the precompiled prgoram and run it. this won't keep you from compiling something else at a later time [19:25] ah [19:25] yoga was quicker :D [19:26] magres: What distribution of Linux are you using? [19:26] kubuntu 9.04 [19:27] magres: good, so you can just "sudo apt-get install emacs", then start emacs by type emacs on the terminal. [19:28] yoga, I am humbled. In one line you managed to do all of what I've been trying to do for like 3 hours [19:28] would you like anything? Candy, Pizza, oral pleasuring? [19:28] lol [19:28] magres: You just found out what power that Debian give you! [19:29] perhaps, if I knew what Debian was lol [19:29] maybe I should go look that up [19:29] GOOGLE POWERS, TO MY AID! [19:30] oh right [19:30] more like the power of linux and package managers, it's that simple with many other distros :) [19:30] and I'm not on Debian anyways, I'm on Ubuntu [19:30] lol [19:30] ..which is based on debian [19:30] anyone know about the lastfm app and kubuntu? [19:30] o [19:30] <_< [19:30] magres: In one sentence, Debian is the father of Ubuntu which is the sister of Kubuntu. [19:30] last.fm app and amarok? [19:31] amarok has a few plugins for last.fm [19:31] heh [19:31] and kde is the granddaddy [19:31] how do i get the lastfm plugins for amarok? [19:31] poppa smurf iow [19:31] yeah I'm not really a fan of Gnome, I've used it before and I find KDE to be alot more intuitive [19:31] Being_Tsukasa: i'm not sure, #amarok is helpful though [19:32] kde has more bugs than gnome ive heard, but i still prefer it [19:32] one thing I love on KDE (no idea if gnome has it or not) is widgets [19:32] widgets are sexy [19:32] kde4 is quite stable now, it had a few quirks in the beginning because it's doing something entirely new and beyond gnome [19:33] i.e.: nepomuk, desktop widgets, and much more [19:33] nepomuk? [19:33] sounds intriguing [19:33] (if nothing, I'm enthusiastic about my exploration into a new OS that I know nothing about) [19:34] just search for 'kde features' and you'll find out more then you can remember in one sitting [19:35] Being_Tsukasa: dont think so.... i have neon and 4.3 beta 2....no serious crash till now [19:37] http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.3_Feature_Plan should help [19:38] ^ gives an idea of the scope of kde [19:38] http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Summer_of_Code/2009/Ideas [19:39] that also will give you an idea of where kde is heading [19:40] magres ^ [19:44] hi i'm with ubuntu now i want to format a partition on aonther HD how can i do it? === kubunt1 is now known as togetic [19:46] takoski: qtparted or gparted [19:46] apt-get install qtparted [19:46] and do it to it [19:46] takoski: Gnome or KDE? [19:46] Thanks [19:47] GOme [19:47] GNOME [19:47] then you'll want gparted [19:47] so what are sudo commands, and whats apt-get? They seem rather powerful [19:47] google gparted format partition [19:47] takoski: then it's gparted, you are in the Kubuntu channel here :) [19:47] magres: "man sudo" [19:47] and man apt-get [19:47] gah [19:47] I need to remember these things [19:47] you know, Linux actually has manuals of wtf it does [19:47] yup [19:47] I'm used to the Windows' PoS help files [19:47] thus 'rtfms' [19:48] magres: sudo is the way to get sudo rights if you are either the first installer or in the administrator group [19:48] hey i got GNOME desktop but it won't connect wirelessly [19:48] su = super user [19:48] oooh I get it, Super User Do [19:48] aka, root [19:48] am i doing something wrong? [19:48] right [19:48] the command is Sudo apt-get install qtparted? [19:48] commander__: ask in #ubuntu, we do KDE here :) [19:48] no, you want gparted since you're on gnome [19:48] takoski: you'll want to get gparted [19:48] since you are using gnome [19:48] i want to format no partition! [19:49] lol engrish [19:49] XD [19:49] :D [19:49] :P [19:49] no the thing is that you're in a channel for the KDE packaging of the Ubuntu core, when you're using the Gnome package [19:49] takoski: Do you know the /dev name of the hd you want to format? [19:49] mhhhh yeah [19:49] and i'm out of this channel for a little while... [19:49] like people here are going to give you advice that applies to KDE and not Gnome [19:50] hence the whole qtparted vs gparted thing [19:50] magres: I think he got that by now :) [19:50] just makin sure :D [19:50] how do i install a library from the terminal? [19:51] I tend to, out of no personal disrespect for anyone, assume that anything needs to be explained pretty explicitly. People sometimes roll 1's on their intel checks [19:52] Esecuzione del processo figlio "qtparted-root" fallita (Nessun file o directory) [19:52] er [19:53] takoski: If the partition type is already Linux (type 83 hex) you can just do: sudo mke2fs /dev/sdX# where X is the drive letter and # is the partition number [19:54] takoski: sudo fdisk -l will show you the partiton types for all your drives [19:54] thanks [19:56] in other news: the multiple desktops of KDE is amazing [19:56] magres- by the way, qtparted isn't maintained anymore. The new KDE frontend for parted is partitionmanager [19:57] any chance it can shrink partitions w/o destroying them?

[20:08] like the startup/shutdown music? [20:09] magres: yes, when you reduce the volume you can't hear anything, and what, if you want to listen to music while you are using emacs? [20:09] if I set the system bell volume to 0 it kills all my noise? [20:09] >_< [20:10] like my regular volume is still in the 30s [20:10] hola [20:10] magres: well, as I said, that's not shutting down the beeps, try the methode I told you above [20:10] it kept beeping when i did that [20:11] that's why i went looking for an alternate solution =/ [20:13] okay I was flat out wrong, I'm not using system bell w/ 0 volume [20:13] I guess my settings change took some time to set in or something <_< [20:14] dunno, it works and I still have the good noises coming out of my laptop [20:14] I'll leave it as it is, lol [20:23] !acroread [20:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about acroread [20:23] !acrobat [20:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about acrobat [20:23] !pdf [20:23] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [20:23] !pdf [20:23] cheers :) [20:24] !acrobat is pdf [20:24] I'll remember that, Pici [20:24] I'm pretty sure that medibuntu used to have it in its repository... can't find it anymore though :| [20:24] http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/acroread.html seems to indicate that it's only available for amd64?
