[00:08] simon__, i believe it is OSS -> Alsa -> Pulseaudio [00:08] simon__, although Pulseaudio is currently pointless (and detrimental) in Kubuntu (or KDE in general) [00:08] oss...? thought that died once ago.. [00:09] simon__, i'm just reciting from memory, but i believe OSS is still present in Jaunty [00:09] thesandman, what do you mean? (what are you trying to accomplish?) [00:09] ok, still having problems whit my driver. [00:10] well I was looking at some of thoses commands in the bash command link you sent me and I saw a lot of root servers present and was wandering why so many and just in general was someone there that was not suppose to be [00:10] ign0ramus: -- [00:11] ign0ramus: ... as i just mentioned i used debian befor kubuntu... there, oss was not used... so far i know [00:11] !sound | simon__ [00:11] simon__: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:11] simon__, OK, dont listen to that... that's old info :/ [00:12] we should really fix that one ... [00:13] thesandman, for all intents and purposes, 'root' on the cheatsheet is really just 'superuser' [00:13] !kdesudo | thesandman [00:13] thesandman: In KDE use « kdesudo » (or « kdesu » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to.

[00:46] thesandman: what do you mean? A file that's been zipped or a file that's been unzipped? [00:47] one that I downloaded to be burn that is zipped...do I need to extract it to burn it? [00:49] mathay: it says it's bzipped...do i need to try and unzipp it? [00:50] thesandman: You can burn into on to a CD. Make sure it's a data CD and you should be good to go.

When I hit SysReq+e (terminate) I got a large kernel dump w/ a last line: "kernel panic ... not syncing ... fatal exception in interrupt". Any idea where to look for the problem? [01:15] *sigh* good evening. Could someone please give me the output of the 'id' command for the "default" user installed on their kubunut 9.04 system?

[01:18] er kubuntu [01:18] Fanfare: yeah when you first install kubuntu it sets up the first user [01:18] that user [01:19] Gruppen=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),60(games),112(lpadmin),119(admin),120(sambashare), [01:19] that's what I needed, thanks [01:19] Fanfare: were there more, after sambashare, there's a comma [01:19] plus group named like your user [01:20] user tzanger=1000 + group tzanger=1000 [01:20] perfect [01:20] uid=1000(andrew) gid=1000(andrew) groups=1000(andrew),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),60(games),106(lpadmin),117(admin),118(sambashare),1002(xilinx) [01:20] that's what I've got now [01:20] (I added a xilinx group, but forgot -a) :-) [01:21] oh I have to add virtualbox too [01:22] $ id andrew [01:22] uid=1000(andrew) gid=1000(andrew) groups=1000(andrew),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),60(games),106(lpadmin),117(admin),118(sambashare),121(pulse-access),122(pulse-rt),124(vboxusers),1002(xilinx) [01:22] that's probably closer to what I need [01:22] tzanger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:43] MJack: auto-alignment? [01:44] Fanfare: ya the widgets won't align perfectly and auto-move to be at least 1/8th of an inch from the sides of the screen [01:45] MJack: u mean window/dialog placement? [01:46] Fanfare: yes... like the Sticky Notes widget in the desktop won't align perfectly along the side of the screen... I put it there and then 1/2 second later it moves away from the edge like 2cm... all widgets seem to do this and it's annoying, lol. [01:49] MJack: ok, u mean Stick, minimize, maximize, close buttons in titlebar? [01:52] Fanfare: no the titlebar that pops out on hover is fine and goes away when the mouse leaves... I'm talking about the WHOLE WIDGET moving away from the side of the screen after I place it there... kind of like it has an "auto-align to grid" thing... like you know how your Desktop auto-aligns folders/files to the box/grid? Well it's doing that with the widgets and I want to disable it and put widgets EXACTLY where I want them... [01:54] MJack: ur talking bout plasmawidgets / plasmoids? [01:59] Fanfare: I'm talking about the plasmawidgets that come installed with Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty... Kubuntu 8.10 they were called plasmoids but I think they are just called widgets in the 9.04 Jaunty version. [02:00] well, now we are talking bout the same, lets call em plasmoids afaik thats theyr (new) name [02:00] hm, yes i ve seen that behaviour too, but cant right now reproduce... [02:01] ok, reproduced near screenborders [02:01] What version of OS are you using? [02:03] I just installed the fresh copy of Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.2 named Jaunty and the plasmoids auto align themselves to the sides of the screen which is something I want to DISABLE... but I can't find a setting for it. [02:04] 4.2.90-0ubuntu1~jaunty1~ppa1 [02:05] thats 4.3-beta [02:06] But u can move these plasmoids!? And the should remember positions [02:07] Yes... you can move them, and they do remember their position... problem is I'm not able to move/align them perfectly along the side of the screen as they always want to be like 2cm from the edge... [02:08] MJack: ok, 2cm thats heavy. [02:08] wich theme do u use? all oxygen? [02:08] yes.. [02:10] Could it be a theme thing? or a Plasmoid thing? I can align FireFox and Quassel perfectly along the edge of my screen and they stay,,, but the plasmoids are unable to be aligned perfectly along the edge... they stick out like 1-2cm no matter what I do... [02:13] Well, i use oxygen and i dont have that prob... [02:13] Fanfare: interesting... well I'll keep looking into it... thanks for trying to help.

[04:20] well it doesn't access internet [04:20] why? i think ubutu just repackages that build anyway [04:20] konqueror depos [04:21] tmerriam_: it doesn't access internet [04:22] the firefox package from ubuntu does not access the internet??? [04:22] no, i downloaded from firefox.com [04:22] downloaded, unzipped, moved to /opt, added symlink to /usr/bin, and added a firefox.desktop file [04:23] hmm, thats an odd one... [04:23] i cant think of any configuration in firefox that would cause that... [04:26] well, long shot but maybe its in offline mode? [04:26] no [04:29] anyone feel like helping a plasmoid noob with a build/debug issue? I have plasmoid source and want to view/debug without installing it [04:30] Build appears successful but since it's the source for a plasmoid I'm actively using I don't want to overwrite it, just run in some sort of sandbox [04:33] I got the new version of plasmoidviewer from neon; it's supposed to be able to run right out of your build directory but it's not happy with mine [04:33] can you give it different name? mypluginv2 ? [04:34] Sure, if that's the right approach. Which file do I hack for that? Thanks. [04:35] i dont know, its just a suggestion. ive never hacked plasmoids. i assume theres a makefile or some equivalent that sets the target filename [04:39] thanks anyway. Wish there was a good source of info on the build process. Everything I've found so far appears incomplete or out of date [04:39] does anyone here use konversation [04:39] I'm using it! [04:39] jet [04:39] i am having a hudge problem with dcc and i can asure u its not a port issue [04:39] do u know anything about this [04:40] i can get dcc but not send [04:40] Oh, sorry, I'm pretty clueless about IRC [04:40] or my buddy cant recive [04:40] lol ok [04:40] i cant find help anywhere nor on anywebsite [04:41] been fighting with this for over 3 hrs [04:41] Hi [04:41] and of couse u goto chats and they say make sure ports r opened [04:41] hello [04:41] What is your problem Naddix [04:41] i am trying to dcc to another computer [04:42] with konversation [04:42] i can recive files but when i try to send it times out [04:42] buddy's firewall in the way? [04:42] nope [04:42] i remote connected and opened everything [04:43] what's a good gpu? [04:43] Naddix, are you behind a router? [04:43] its prett weiird [04:43] yes i am [04:43] all ports are opened [04:43] do you know your friends ip address [04:43] with my router and his [04:44] @asobi... depends what you need to do [04:44] i even put my computer infront of the firewall to test [04:44] and still same issue [04:44] it seems like it is a program issue [04:44] he uses mirc and im using konversation [04:44] top end/gaming [04:44] using with kde 3 [04:45] nope ubtunu [04:45] Naddix: can you telnet to your friends computer across the required port [04:45] i never telenet before [04:45] you most likely want an nvidia. radeon isnt quite there yet with 3d yet. [04:45] tmerriam_: for the record the official name of the plasmoid appears to be recorded as two fields in the .desktop file [04:46] telnet [IPaddress] [port number] [04:46] ok [04:46] and this will get the file or show [04:46] files [04:46] if you open a terminal [04:46] that are being offeres=d [04:46] yes i understand that [04:46] well, i want something easily compatible as well [04:47] but the problem is the other way [04:47] me sending him a file [04:47] ive heard nvidia has good support. it is a binary blob, but the packages are in ubuntu, and it will probably work [04:47] Yes, in order for you to send him a file, he has to listen on a particular port [04:47] thanks [04:47] If you can telnet to that port, then that isolates it down to the porgram [04:48] right now compatibility and performance are at opposite ends of the spectrum, sadly. [04:48] if you can't than its an issue with your friends network setup [04:48] ok [04:48] i did personally set up his router [04:48] remote connected to his router and set it up myself [04:48] quite a shame really, i think the radeons are a better value than a lot of nvidias offerings [04:48] If you can recieve files suggest the program is working just fine, btw are you using the kde4 version or kde3 version [04:49] so i should get budget card [04:49] tmerriam_: radeon has been improving quite a lot [04:50] tmerriam_: before my computer crashed the radeon card I had worked pretty well, this included composite support [04:50] it has, ive been folowing the development [04:50] ive never had fglrx working. good riddance imo [04:51] what version is your card, mine was an r300 [04:51] r580 [04:53] is nvidia more compatible than ati? [04:53] asobi: yes [04:53] k [04:54] ive heard good, but my experience with proprietary blobs, fglrx and other, has been very negative [04:55] my rule of thumb now is if the driver not in the kernel, or xorg or whatever, expect trouble === DOOM777 is now known as doom777 [04:55] where do you check for that [04:56] if the kernel supports a specific driver? [04:56] yea [04:56] The sad part was it took over a year before the fglrx driver was any good for the r300 chip set [04:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia is the best i found [04:56] http://kernel.xc.net/ this site is good [04:57] well i can telnet to his file fine but its the other way im having issue [04:57] does gnome or kde matter? [04:57] * asobi runs kubuntu [04:57] interesting [04:57] very weird [04:57] i use kde. my girlfriend uses gnome. i think kde uses the compositing more by default [04:58] that kernal link is over my head [04:58] Naddix, can you telnet to 172.0.0.1 across that port on your pc [04:58] 127.0.0.1 is a loop back address [04:58] ok [04:58] i will try this [04:59] ty CPrgmSwR2 [04:59] lol. it shows the entire configuration for the whole kernel. you can load the full config and use Ctrl+F to find the device you want. [05:00] http://kernelnewbies.org/ this site is good too, though i dont use it very much [05:00] i don't even know which kernel i am using @_@ [05:00] 2.6.28 [05:00] err.... jaunty right? [05:01] hardy i think [05:01] 8.04 [05:01] type 'uname -r' at the console [05:01] CPrgmSwR2 im not able to connect to the share [05:01] dont want to upgrade or do you want the LTS? [05:02] lts [05:02] kde is starting to shape up quite nicely [05:02] how would ubuntu be blocking thi s [05:02] or is it the app [05:03] but i could not send in xchat either [05:04] @CPrgmSwr2 yeah, im using the beta for 4.3 its really slick. i think ill stick with stable versions after this, though [05:04] but i used my router assigned ip and it worked [05:05] tmerriam_: same here [05:05] Naddix: the telnet worked? [05:06] yes it did [05:08] tmerriam_: I update so I am on the release canidate of kde 4.3 [05:08] tmerriam_: I just wish they would release kopete [05:09] whats the deal with the highlighted lines? are you doing something special, Cprgm? [05:09] Naddix: In your router, do you have port forwarding setup [05:09] yes i do [05:10] Naddix: it sounds like your router is blocking the connection [05:10] i would have had to go though my router to telnet [05:10] i used my router assinged address to connect [05:10] because a telnet to 127.0.0.1 does not go through anything but your computer [05:10] wouldnt it [05:10] no i telnet using 192.168.2.3 [05:11] which was asigned by the router [05:11] i wanted to test the ports [05:11] if thats your computer IP address, that will work too [05:11] 127.0.0.1 is a special ip address [05:12] loopback [05:12] tmerriam_: that has to do with me putting your screenname in the text I am typing [05:13] tmerriam_: what irc client are you using [05:13] CPrgmSwR2: like this? [05:13] quassel [05:13] konversation [05:13] i did use the 127.0.0.1 [05:13] address [05:13] and i also connected to the share [05:14] CPrgmSwR2: quassel [05:14] tmerriam_: I am not sure since I use konversation [05:14] me either lol [05:14] ok [05:15] the thing is i wonder if the dsl modem is in anyway internfering [05:15] there is no firewall setup on the modem [05:15] i have that turned off [05:15] CPrgmSwR2 what program do u use [05:16] I should probably ask for help here instead of #ubuntu :) [05:16] CPrgmSwR2: me neither. im new to using IRC, and i use Quassel cimply because it came with kubuntu [05:16] ok [05:16] i tried xchat and same thing [05:16] it got to be that modem somehow [05:16] are there any good xorg managers? [05:17] xorg managers? [05:17] I seem to have hosed mine somehow thorugh installing compiz-fusion and the latest proprietary ati drivers [05:18] so I get graphics glitches and I don't know how to fix it being a linux noob [05:18] what do you mean by xorg manager? ive never heard that term [05:18] Naddix: prehaps its being blocked by a software firewall [05:18] not on my machine [05:18]
