[00:08] since a recent upgrade I haven't had emacs command any more. that used to link to /etc/alternatives/emacs, which is also not there. I installed emacs22 and can launch it with emacs22-x, but that emacs won't read my bbdb and .Xresources. any hint? [00:10] Hello anyone using livestation?

[00:52] i am on netbook remix 9.04 [00:52] Hmm, have you tried turning compositing off? [00:52] how i do that? [00:52] i didnt think Kubuntu netbook remix was out for 9.04 [00:53] no its ubuntu I think...sorry [00:53] are you using Gnome or KDE, zee [00:53] ah [00:53] gnome [00:53] yea =/ [00:53] there should be an option in the gnome control center [00:55] not sure where that os [00:55] is* [00:55] terminal: gnome-control-center [00:55] zeelot: you could also turn off maximus in the startup and log out and log back in [00:57] PingJocky_: did tht brb [00:58] * PingJocky_ keeps fingers crossed for the liitle guy... [00:59] has anybody installed the new nvidia release? [01:00] hey people. I'm trying out kde 4.3 RC2, and i want to disable the "preview directory on hover" feature of the "desktop view", how can i do that? [01:00] mot: version 180? [01:00] i installed the 185.18.14 release (x86-64) and the previous release was 180.60 [01:00] not yet... [01:01] if i install it and reconfig X, it complains that the modules it's trying to load is 180.60 [01:01] brb let me get an error log [01:01] pelle_k: if you right click on the panel then open up task manager settings -> unclick show tooltips [01:02] then hit apply [01:02] PingJocky_: Oh! that easy? :) Thanks. [01:02] hmm, I think that would disable more than he'd like [01:02] no problem.. [01:02] aru_s: like what else? [01:03] in smb4k I cannot see my shared folder on my other computer [01:03] on that other computer, however, i can see it in smb4k o.O === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] PingJocky_: I may be confused as to which plasmoid he's referring to [01:04] so ignore me :-) [01:04] aru_s: i think he meant all of them... [01:05] aru_s: but i see what your saying... [01:05] i think it is a cool feature but i hate it... [01:05] if he's just referring to the folder view plasmoid, I don't think there's something that granular [01:05] okay [01:05] perhaps somebody can help me with this, let me get these pastes up [01:05] PingJocky_: i think i didn't explain myself too well. it was about the "desktop" and how when i hover say my "home" it show the contents in an "overlay window/tooltip" [01:06] pelle_k: I don't think there's a place to disable that [01:06] # [01:06] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.

[01:07] aghh still not the whole message [01:08] use paste.ubuntu.com, mot === michaeln_ is now known as queazel [01:08] pelle_k: there is a place for that too under folder view config === queazel is now known as michaeln_ [01:08] there is a place to turn off folder view preview [01:08] really? I think that's for actually displaying icons [01:09] i'm inclined too agree with aru_s :/ cause that didn't work.. [01:09] you could edit the plasmoid to remove it, or file a feature request in plasma upstream [01:10] brb wrong error message [01:11] pelle_k: mine worked on 4.2... i dont have 4.3 KKK on yet === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu_ === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu__ [01:12] PingJocky_: yeah, i dont remember the folder view in kde 4.2 previewing any files as well. it's only a minor annoyance though. [01:13] ok... late all [01:15] hello...anyone available for a quick question? [01:15] :-) [01:15] cool...quick newbie question: [01:16] i have a bunch of music in separate folders. is there a way to extract each file from each folder with out doing it individually? [01:16] what do you mean by "extract"? [01:17] i mean move from their own directory to one big music folder... [01:17] do you want to keep the folder structure? [01:17] sorry for the wording... [01:17] yes.. [01:17] or do you want to dump all of them into the main directory? [01:18] actually, dump all in main directory.. === ubuntu__ is now known as ubuntu_tom_ [01:18] you'll want to use the command line (using Konsole) [01:19] okay... [01:20] let me just make sure I don't give you the wrong command... [01:21] no prob...what would the command be: mv "file1" "directory1" "maindirectory" "file2" "dirctory2" "maindirectory", etc? [01:21] well, I'd use cp [01:21] until you can verify that all your music transferred ok [01:21] cp...ok...same wording as above? [01:21] cp -r Music-source/ Music-target/ is the general format [01:21] gotcha... [01:22] but if you want it flat, I think using a find command would be better [01:22] what do you mean? [01:22] "flat"? [01:22] if you have a Music directory that has folders within it [01:22] yes... [01:22] and you want to pull of the the mp3 files and put it in one large one [01:23] well, that second arrangement is a 'flat' layout [01:23] yea... [01:23] its not heirarchical [01:23] gotcha... [01:23] so Music/Nine Inch Nails/song.mp3 would become NewMusicFolder/song.mp3 [01:24] okay...i think i get it... [01:24] sooo...it would be: [01:25] cp -r Music/Dir/song.mp3 Music/song.mp3? [01:26] no [01:26] if you just want to copy one file, you wouldnt use the -r [01:26] -r tells it to go into every subdirectory and do the same action [01:26] ok...sorry... [01:26] don't apologize, Im just stalling until I can give you the exact command, my test isn't working [01:27] lol...gotcha... [01:27] be right back, bud... [01:29] have to step out...be back in 15-20... [01:29] find Music/ -iname "*.mp3" -exec cp {} /tmp/ \; [01:29] that should do it [01:29] replace Music with your source folder [01:29] sweet... i'll try it out...thanks much... [01:29] and /tmp/ to the path of the target [01:29] good luck === desudesudesu is now known as desu [01:30] by the way, what does "\" do...? [01:32] it escapes the semicolon [01:32] without it, the script would think that there's more input [01:32] and not run [01:33] (the script does the 'flat' copy) [01:34] gotcha...make sense from some shell scripts i've perused...i'll try it...and thanks again... [01:34] is keyserver.ubuntu.com down??? Will you please check right now? Thx. I haven´t been able to access it ever - meaning for the past 18 hours.

[03:29] just edit the url down to mainline and it should show the tree [03:29] i think .31rc2 is the latest [03:31] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline [03:31] wirechief: I tried 2.6.30 already, nvidia didnt build on that one either, I'll see what I can do about nvidia on 2.6.31 now [03:31] thats better [03:31] well make sure to get all 4 .debs [03:31] so you have the sources too. [03:32] one of my users who just took his kubuntu box home is having a problem connecting with a cable broadband connection, am looking for some general information? [03:32] apio [03:32] is he using a router, dennister? [03:33] aru_s: no, at first there was an ethernet card problem, got jiggled out of pci slot during transport, but putting it back revealed it was probably damaged...so user swapped the card [03:34] now new card is being detected, but still no ip address from cable modem, and it's eth2, not eth0...former bad card was eth1 [03:35] have you tried a liveCD boot to make sure that there are still no more hardware issues? [03:35] any ideas? it's been a long time since i was a rogers cable customer...no, we haven't tried that yet [03:35] rebooting [03:36] i'm going to call him tomorrow morning with some more ideas, that's why I'm here now, getting those ideas :) [03:36] heh [03:38] does a cable modem have to have its firmware configured with username and password from the computer? in order for linux box to communicate with modem and get an ip adddress? [03:38] they do have a winblows computer that was surfing net this morning with same modem [03:39] he might be using PPPOE [03:39] If the cable modem isn't completely worthless, it should give an IP address to anything that asks over DHCP [03:39] that's a pretty lofty assumption when dealing with Rogers, Dragnslcr ;-) [03:39] Heh [03:40] you can also edit bindings for network devices at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [03:40] Actually, that would only be if it's a combination cable modem/router [03:40] so u guys r familiar with our lovely cable monopoly, eh? [03:40] Which I think most are these days [03:40] If it isn't, though, you may need a separate router between the computers and the cable modem [03:41] I've heard horror stories about them... I'm to the south so I don't have firsthand knowledge [03:41] did the Kubuntu box ever work with their setup? [03:41] they aren't using the winblows computer, which is why they wanted a new pc [03:41] aru_s: no, they just picked up the pc I gave them this afternoon [03:41] ah, pppoe is dsl only. Nevermind. [03:42] yeah :-) [03:42] Yeah, usually [03:42] Might be possible to do PPPoE through a cable modem, but I don't know of any cable ISP's that do [03:43] found out why nvidia didnt work, I tried the nvidia installer- complains that the gcc used for the kernel is a different version than the current one [03:43] a random google turns this up: http://osdir.com/ml/user-groups.linux.ottawa.linux-novice/2005-04/msg00003.html [03:43] But yeah, the first thing you have to know is if the cable modem also functions as a router [03:43] anyone knows of some kernel deb made with gcc 4.3 ?* [03:43] and rogers tech support will be useless 'we only support..." [03:44] of kernel 2.6.30 or 31 that is [03:44] Dragnslcr: i doubt it, 3 years ago when i was with rogers there were no combo devices, and i did ask the user if there was another device between the modem and the pc, he said no [03:44] well i would try doing a update and see if you can pull in whats needed [03:45] wirechief: u talking to me? [03:45] no nick01 [03:45] Easy way to tell is to look at the cable modem. If there's more than one Ethernet port, it's probably also a router [03:46] Or if it has an antenna or two [03:46] heh, they could have plugged it into a router uplink port :-) [03:46] :| [03:46] dennister: you may want to try that power cycling trick described in the newsgroup post [03:46] or maybe have them spoof the MAC address of their windows machine [03:47] rogers doesn't like users having routers, and certainly doesn't issue combo modem/routers...and these users are too poor to have routers and lots of other stuff going on [03:47] aru_s: I will suggest that to them tomorrow mornig [03:47] Doesn't like users having routers? What the... [03:48] They don't expect anyone to have more than one computer at home? [03:48] I had to fight Comcast to have them issue me a modem instead of a combo modem/router. [03:48] what about this eth2 business? there's only one card in the pc now, but here this afternoon it was eth0, when they got it home it had become eht1 with no eth0 in existence, and now second card that seems to be recognized is eth2 [03:49] I just have a separate router connected to the cable modem [03:49] all the US isps are more reasonable than the canadian ones...there's virtually no isp competition here, and an FCC-equivalent that's too cosy with the dominant telco and caleco duopoly [03:49] haha [03:49] The combo devices are just as expensive as separate devices [03:49] no competition here either [03:50] you guys have cheaper prices because there is more competition [03:50] i know comcast is eveil, but they've got nothing on rogers and bell [03:50] now there is competition with FiOS entering the market [03:50] there's competition in some instances, but don't overestimate it [03:50] but my 3 previous apartments could only get Comcast [03:50] lots of places, really only one ISP is available [03:51] yeah, they all start implementing the same policies anyway...like price fixing [03:51] and it's more likely to be the cable co [03:51] but anyway, here are the suggestions so far: try livecd boot, the cable cycling, any others? [03:52] no clue with the numbering issue, like I said earlier, you might want to start looking in the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [03:52] it replaces ifstab [03:52] *iftab [03:53] yeah....but this user isn't exactly a dummy, but he's still a newbie with bad spelling :-) doing telephone tech support is painfaul, so I hate giving him long paths :) [03:54] I certainly have NO time tomorrow to go to east end and do a housecall...not till tues afternoon [03:55] yeah, I've never had an issue with that before. If you're convinced that the card hardware is working, I can't think of anything else. [03:56] ok, well 3 thinks to check so far, that's a good start :-) [03:57] thanks guys :) [03:57] np, good luck [03:59] aru_s: yes, i have a feeling the url link you gave me could be the answer, eth0 being my dsl modem, eth1 being bad card, and eth2 being the new card [03:59] good night [04:03] what is the default kde voip client in kubuntu..gnome has empathy...kopete doesnt cut it [04:04] Try twinkle [04:05] granted, that's more SIP [04:05] twinkle? [04:05] if it helps, Skype uses QT4... [04:05] well what about voice and video with gmail /yahoo/msn [04:06] yes i know..iam asking interms of a complete DE [04:06] I thought Kopete had msn and yahoo video support? [04:06] well that is prehistoric doesnt work [04:07] venky80: sorry, I dont know much about that... you might want to try asking in #kde [04:34] test [04:49] hey guys, ubuntu netbook remix here and I plugged in a 24inch monitor which worked with the display settings but I can't set it to 1900x1200 anyone know why? running dpkg-reconfigure doesnt even give display options [04:50] nevermind it shows now o_o gnite all [04:54] if I'm dual booting Ubuntu and Kubuntu, what do I need to have set uo so that Kubuntu can not only update its kernel (they're blocked atm which I'm thinking may be related to this) but update grub the way Ubuntu does with each screwing up the others entries? [04:59] LSD|Ninja: afaik, Kubuntu does the whole multiple kernel thing [05:11] LSD|Ninja- why would you want two different kernels? Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same base system, just with different desktop environments installed by default [05:12] indeed, you can change the DE via the sessions menu at the GDM or KDM login screen [05:12] LSD|Ninja- all you need is to install Ubuntu, then install the kubuntu-desktop package (or Kubuntu and the ubuntu-desktop package), then pick with desktop environment you want before you log in [05:15] can someone help me with some cd issues [05:15] Dragnslcr: I know I can do that but I installed kubuntu seperately on purpose so I don't pollute my normal system with KDE rubbish [05:16] I need to re-initialize a player [05:16] you want to create a separate partition, then [05:16] mount isn't working [05:16] reinitialize? as in erase a cd-rw? [05:16] no , my dvd drive will not mount [05:16] ohh [05:17] how are you mounting it? [05:17] I don't want to have to restart everytime i need it to mount readable media [05:17] aru_s: It's already created and installed, but I elected not to install the bootloader (I didn't want it overwriting what I had) and had to manually add the entries to grub myself. I'm looking now for how to automate it all like Ubuntu does without each writing over the others stuff [05:17] mount /dev/hdc or mount /dev/dvd [05:17] mount: can't find /dev/dvd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [05:17] their is also no icon available for the drive [05:18] like my drive doesn't exist [05:18] hey if I have the ubuntu netbook remix but I want the regular gnome interface is it easy to swap?

(I asked in #amarok, but I think they'rw still in bed.) [10:37] hi all [10:37] in systemsettings / advanced / login manager, how can i change to admin mode to change some settings in login manager? i have kde 4.3 rc2 [10:42] ok i removed the offending package .. edited /vim /var/lib/dpkg/status [10:42] and reinstalled the kubuntu-desktop which fixed the problem for me .. === oobe_ is now known as oobe [10:54] What's the deal with konqueror and facebook? [11:00] one more problem am having is with kmenu ..its not displaying the list of my applications [11:00] hiya ppl ,ive just installed kubuntu-desktop meta package and when i log in a get a short splash screen then when i click there the whole screen goes blank apart from mouse cursor and if i wait a bit it restart back to gdm [11:00] KlavKalashj: It works fine here, what are you experiuenceing problems with? [11:01] this was after i installed the lastest kde 4.3RC [11:01] bigbrovar: what does it display? [11:01] jussi01: Almost every link. You know, like "poke", "like", "add to friends" and so on, nothing happends [11:01] KlavKalashj: hrm, not exactly sure. I use firefox myself... [11:02] jussi01: ok =/ I don't wanna use gtk-apps when I don't have to, but this sucks :P [11:03] nothing [11:03] KlavKalashj: IMHO, konqui is one of the deficiencies of KDE, they are working on a replacement/upgrade, but at the moment, Firefox is nicer. [11:04] jussi01: nothing [11:04] KlavKalashj: of course you could try arora, and see if thats any better. [11:04] jussi01: one person's deficiency is another persons former killer feature ... [11:05] and i think file association is broken .. when i click on a folder .. it brings up the dialog box that asks what i want to use in opening it .. and it even the dialog box doesnt display anything .. [11:05] * jussi01 hugs dwidmann [11:05] jussi01: agreed. But konq works so cool on my old laplop, with smooth scrolling and so on. Facebook and flashblock really is the only things I miss. I hope it will come :) [11:05] jussi01: aurora, is that also gtk? [11:05] KlavKalashj: I hope so too, but at the moment, all I cn suggest are workaround via other browsers. sorry. [11:05] KlavKalashj: no, arora is qt [11:06] !info arora [11:06] arora (source: arora): simple cross platform web browser. In component universe, is extra.

[11:10] what happens if you run sudo apt-get install -f [11:10] ? === Bauldrick_ is now known as Bauldrick [11:11] jussi01: so arora works like a charm with FB. I guess it'll be my backup browser :) [11:12] KlavKalashj: good :) [11:13] jussi01: for the first couple of days nope .. then updates came in this morning .. i installed them .. and now the whole desktop is broken [11:14] bigbrovar: did that command do anything? [11:16] hello [11:16] jussi01: for e.g nothing is displayed in the application tab of the kicker panel, and when i click a folder .. a dialog box ask which program i want to use in opening the folder, using search bar to look for applications doesnt work .. if i type kate .. nothing comes up [11:16] bigbrovar: no, the command I gave you, did you run it? [11:16] hey, can someone guide me on installing KDE in a gnome environment - using the Kubuntu CD? [11:17] jussi01: yeah .. nothing happened [11:17] jussi01: the output looks normal like no package is broken [11:18] Unhackmee: you are not wanting to do it via the internet? [11:18] jussi0: i dont have a problem reinstall (clean install) i just scared the same can happen again .. [11:18] Unhackmee: usually "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" will do what you want [11:18] jussi01: are u running kde 4.3 on jaunty? [11:18] jussi01:I already downloaded it, so that would be the last resort[15:18] [11:18] bigbrovar: dont install the RC... [11:19] Unhackmee: did you get the alternate cd or live cd? [11:19] hm I am also using the RC, works very fine here [11:19] jussi01: sorry, but how could i tell? [11:20] jussi01: oh :-( its soo nice .. cant see myself going back to kde 4.2 now .. am a recent gnome convert and kde 4.3 totally won me over .. :-( [11:20] jussi01: are the packages in the kde backport for jaunty broken [11:20] bigbrovar: same for me :P KDE and I have never gotten along, but 4.3 is really nice... Are you on jaunty or karmic? [11:22] KlavKalashj: jaunty [11:22] KlavKalashj: am using the ppa backport for kde 4.3 [11:22] KlavKalashj: you? [11:23] bigbrovar: hm strange... I am using same stuff as you and it works. Perhaps there is updates not yet available on swedish server, so my system will break :( [11:25] well i doubt that .. actaully my system frooze duing the update process .. and when i recovered .. aptitude spilt out some errors .. i had to purge the broken packages and reinstall them and fix /var/lib/dpkg/status to remove packages that had "half-configured" in them .. then i installed the kubuntu-desktop [11:26] KlavKalashj: am sure somewhere along the line the system got pist .. and something got broken [11:26] KlavKalashj: have u installed anyupdate today? [11:26] bigbrovar: no [11:28] oh then i would advice you dont .. because my problems started with the new updates .. (guess u looky to have a ginuea pig) [11:28] lucky* [11:28] man, newest kernel in repo is 2.6.28... rofl [11:28] bigbrovar: I see... [11:29] KlavKalashj: just wait till the dust settles down and if someone encounters the problem .. [11:29] yeah [11:29] I am tired of systems failing [11:30] KlavKalashj: that blood and pain of living on the edge [11:30] I was on Ubuntu karmic until yesterday... for starters it worked very nice, but then came new kernel and kms and stuff and everything got messed [11:30] I just wanna use stable software :) [11:31] KlavKalashj: Well why would you even consider karmic!?

[16:37] Nameless_au: i mean the only problem is that i always have to insert my password in order to access the drive [16:37] Nameless_au: hang on,im gonan check it out [16:38] Nameless_au: ye ive got it installed [16:39] Nameless_au: ntfs-config, ntfs-3g,ibntfs-3g49 thats what ive got installed [16:40] Nameless_au: did u get it? [16:40] compilerwriter, just the basic question, has something happened to your xorg config? [16:40] Nameless_au: ntfs-config, ntfs-3g,ibntfs-3g49 thats what ive got installed [16:40] get what [16:40] i.e. what does grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf say? [16:40] Nameless_au: my answer [16:41] n8w: i have now [16:41] are you running jaunty? [16:41] Nameless_au: yep [16:42] KjetilK: not to my knowledge, but that does seem like a probable cause doesn [16:42] 't it? [16:42] can u pls paste what u have in fstab again pls [16:42] Nameless_au: in 8.04 there is a module called disk and file system,where u can set the auto-mount...but this module is missin in 9.04 [16:42] Nameless_au: sure...hang on [16:42] compilerwriter, yeah, first thing I would check, perhaps an upgrade did something to it, or something... [16:42] n8w: just the one line will do [16:43] Nameless_au: /dev/sda1 /media/win ntfs user,rw,auto 0 0 [16:43] n8w: ok stupid question, but does /media/win exist? [16:44] Nameless_au: shit....maaan,i might know whats wrong now... [16:45] KjetilK: Should I just delete the damned thing and let it regenerate. With the nvidia driver installed it should just regenerate itself no? [16:45] n8w: do share [16:45] Nameless_au: my path was to the folder which is created after u mount the drive..therefore it doesnt exist before i do the mouth process === maximo is now known as Maximo [16:45] Nameless_au: well at least thats my theory rite now:))) [16:45] n8w: thought so :) thats why i mount to desktop or something [16:46] Or should I just run nvidia-xconfig KjetilK [16:46] n8w: try creating a folder on desktop and mounting to that [16:47] Nameless_au: hmm i was more thinkin like creatin a folder in the media folder called win or smth and point it to that [16:47] compilerwriter, I'm not sure, but did you do [16:47] grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:47] n8w: i was suggesting as a test [16:48] Nameless_au: sure.... [16:48] n8w: but whatever [16:48] compilerwriter, it could be as simple as just putting Driver "nvidia" in there... [16:48] Nameless_au: ok im gonna try that...ill hopefuly come bak n let u know:))))))) [16:48] btw n8w kde automounts my ntfs partitions in the file manager [16:49] Nameless_au: ye? [16:49] Nameless_au: hows that? [16:49] n8w: yeah i dunno im a noob at kde myself lol [16:49] Nameless_au: i always have to insert my password in order to access it [16:49] come from xfce [16:49] ok thank KjetilK [16:49] oh i still have to type a password in kdesudo [16:50] Nameless_au: ye thats what i wanna bypass [16:50] * compilerwriter pours KjetilK a snifter of Napoleon to show his gratitude. [16:50] n8w: gotcha [16:50] n8w: lemme know how u go [16:50] Nameless_au:sure... [16:54] ok i have a fresh dualboot install of kubuntu and vista. grub is in the mbr, vista loads, all is good. for this kubuntu install i have a primary partition 500MB for /boot, then a big LVM partition. in the LVM i have a swap part. and one for this filesystem. How do i install another distro, and let it use the same swap and /boot partition without fail? also, what do i do regarding grub? thanks [16:54] compilerwriter, great! :-) [16:58] Yes gksu is broken now and so is alt F2 here [16:59] Nameless_au: its partly workin... [17:00] Nameless_au: my first ntfs partiton is bein loaded without insertin my password, but the second one is not [17:01] n8w: without seeing your partition structure i cant help soz [17:02] Nameless_au: nothin difficult to understand...sda1-winsystem,sda2-windata n the rest is linux [17:02] same with me [17:03] Nameless_au: my fstab: /dev/sda2 /media/winData ntfs user,rw,auto 0 0 [17:03] /dev/sda1 /media/winSystem ntfs user,rw,auto 0 0 [17:06] hmm, I'm begining to like the chrmium-browser for linux more and more now that flash and java seem to be working well on most sites [17:07] need help with my fstab...

[17:11] hi [17:12] is here antbody knows to configure dns [17:12] <_CommandeR_> amarok dont want to play any mp3 files als.. [17:13] <_CommandeR_> what was the download program for apps called again, (synaptic in ubuntu) === ao is now known as scorpid === ubuntu is now known as itiknila_kde [17:42] How do I set up Kubuntu to start as always wired network? [17:43] I tried in system settings, but when I reboot I have to do it again. [17:43] Eh? As long as you have it wired... it should auto recognize the network upon boot [17:43] What do you mean, what is it loosing / resetting? [17:43] When I start up it has an X on the network icon by the clock. [17:43] Do you have a manually configured network? [17:44] no DHCP I mean [17:44] It also did that when I did an update./ [17:44] It sounds like a potential driver issue [17:44] Okay. [17:44] I have another problem on another install. [17:44] Do you have to fill in the IP information? [17:44] ok [17:45] whats the other problem =) [17:45] plasma-desktop segfaults on start on my installation. i have a ubuntu 9.04 installation and just installed the kde metapackage... did i miss something or should this be enough? [17:45] I installed Kubuntu with wubi and I tried changing monitor and video resolution size and now all I get is text screen. [17:46] tarzan: to my knowledge that should be enough, whats the actual error [17:46] I want to get into that Kubuntu to transfer files to this one. [17:46] lego: you are going to need to change your xorg.conf I believe it is [17:46] Let me see [17:46] How do I do that? [17:47] does this mean that there are two different drivers installed http://pastebin.com/m5193589d? [17:47] microtech, http://pastebin.com/m7193ef0c , plasma-desktop[27775]: segfault at 14 ip b6ec5d19 sp bfddaa98 error 4 in libQtGui.so.4.5.0[b6706000+9c6000] [17:47] One sec Beems, will check in a min [17:47] ok tarzan one moment as well, thx [17:47] kk [17:47] np [17:47] lego you are going to need to do vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the resolution in there [17:48] Since I am running it here properly, can I copy files to the wubi install and fix the error? [17:48] Okay, I will write that down and try it. Thank you [17:48] Beems, yes two drivers installed [17:48] microtech: would this couse my pc to be jumpy? [17:49] Jumpy? you mean like your mouse jumps? [17:49] tarzan: I am looking at yours now btw [17:49] microtech, this is 4.3 rc2 btw [17:50] I see [17:50] microtech: i mean like desktop effects wont enable and when i move a window on my desktop its laggy [17:51] The two drivers being installed will not cause that Beems, are you trying to use compiz fusion or something like that? [17:51] tarzan: this is a fairly common problem, trying to find what causes it [17:52] microtech, yes i have seen many reports about plasma-desktop crashing, but i did not find a bug report which seems to map to this issue [17:52] Ya I know I've seen this before [17:52] trying to remember what we did to fix it [17:53] microtech: yes I would like to but I cannot even play youtube videos or anything [17:54] microtech, do you remember if this is an upstream bug or ubuntu-specific? [17:54] upstream [17:54] microtech: so no my main goal is not to use compiz [17:54] understood Beems, so you can see the youtube video for example in the freeze frame, but when you try to play it doesnt work? [17:54] Its all choppy? [17:54] microtech: just to get my grpx to work properly [17:55] microtech: it plays but very laggy [17:55] undestood [17:55] microtech: appreciate the help [17:55] tarzan: not sure what you can do in this case, you may want to try and reinstall the package, but I don't see any known fix and can't remember if I ever did get around it [17:55] Beems: no worries, let me check something here [17:56] microtech, thanks, the information that this seems to be an upstream bug is worth a lot :) [17:56] no worries =) [17:59] Beems: have you run [17:59] nvidia-xconfig --allow-glx-with-composite [17:59] microtech: run what [17:59] The command below my first line [17:59] microtech: oh sry didnt see that [18:00] no problem [18:01] microtech: http://pastebin.com/m1cfbf402 [18:02] do it as sudo [18:03] microtech: http://pastebin.com/m7bc3f5d5 [18:03] Ok that seems fine [18:04] You will want to reboot and try it [18:04] If that doesnt work, when you come back [18:04] Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-937653.html [18:04] nvidia cards have some strange issues like this =(, I have to run for a bit but will be back [18:05] see ya round [18:05] for sure [18:07] how can I make apps autostart when I log into KDE? [18:07] Like in the sessions options in gnome [18:08] KlavKalashj> Add them to ~/.kde/Autostart I think [18:08] Although there are many ways to do it [18:08] You could also use Sessions [18:08] Ya quite a few ways to do it [18:08] And I have a feeling that there it a GUI to the Autostart system [18:09] okey... [18:10] oh [18:10] I just found in system settings, "autostart" :P rofl :P [18:10] try there! :P [18:10] Yeah - that's the one :) [18:10] hehe :) [18:10] I think that's just a GUI for symlinking into ~/.kde/Autostart though [18:11] But not 100% sure [18:11] yeah [18:11] I am so used to just add to .xinitrc.... I have been on arch too long :P [18:11] * ToreadorVampire repeatedly stabs the same/xsane packages on Jaunty [18:12] lo [18:12] Gah, it used to work no-questions-asked on Hardy [18:21] Hi [18:21] can someone help me to install compizfusion o.o [18:23] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager skyhunter [18:23] ok i try it :) [18:24] in this Alt+F2 thing? [18:24] (first time running linux xD) [18:24] in the konsole skyhunter [18:24] where is the konsole [18:24] skyhunter, it will then ask for your password (user pass) and won't show as you type it === GhostOfToreadorP is now known as ToreadorVampire [18:25] alt f2 konsole should find it :) [18:26] hmm nothing happens [18:26] Urgh, sometimes I really hate Jaunty ... every now and then I think "Wow, this KDE4 stuff is cool" but then at other times I am cursing it to hell and back [18:26] i entered it in the console [18:27] skyhunter, what version of Kubuntu [18:27] 9.04 [18:28] skyhunter, you got that into the Konsole and there was a password prompt? or you tried typing it into the run command (alt f2 )box [18:28] i tried typing it in the alt f2 box [18:28] skyhunter, alt f2 konsole [18:28] microtech, the bug we discussed seems to be a kubuntu bug, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199207 [18:29] ah i have to type konsole in the alt f2 box [18:29] skyhunter, then when konsole is open: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:29] skyhunter, followed by your password [18:29] Folks I think my xwindows just froze up on me. The bad thing is adept is in the middle of stuff. which process do I need to see if it is stuck? [18:30] it says unable to lock the administration directory [18:30] are there are repos that pack the *latest* nvidia-glx drivers besides avenard? [18:30] skyhunter, do you have add/remove or adept or similar open? or are you installing something now? [18:30] hi there [18:30] i'm looking for a reliable install of the new 185.* driver [18:30] in kde3 there used to be a wonderful add printer wizard. it seems to be gone now. has it been ported to kde4? [18:31] skyhunter, if so, close them once they are finished,as you can only install from one instance of apt-get at a time. [18:31] hmm i installed shockwave player packet a few mins ago [18:31] it scanned the networrk and everything [18:31] *network [18:31] squid0: have you checked in the System Settings -> Printers? [18:31] and theres orange arrow which says restart your system o.o [18:31] mot> I had serious issues with the repository installations of the nvidia glx drivers. I ended up just uninstalling those and picking up the latest stable release from nvidia's download location » download.nvidia.com IIRC [18:32] rysiek|pl: yeah. it just gives me options of types of printers to add, but not the wizard [18:32] skyhunter, if you wish to restart I will still be around for a few [18:32] squid0: have you tried selecting one of the types? [18:32] ok i restart mom [18:32] rysiek|pl: yes. but it hasn't worked properly [18:33] back in a min [18:33] mom? [18:33] squid0: no idea, then; worked here liuke a charm, both for local and network printers [18:33] bazhang: "moment", I suppose [18:33] mot> ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86 « Choose your architecture and you're away - those drivers are dead easy to install without using a package system [18:33] rysiek|pl, I hope so :) [18:33] i found it [18:33] thanks [18:34] bazhang: but if somebody wrote "moment" in full, the guy would probably go "tl;dr" [18:34] But the driver that Jaunty bundled had some serious lockup issues for me, kept hanging my xserver forcing a reboot [18:34] Anyway, I'm gone [18:35] rysiek|pl: you got the wizard? the thing is, there's a network printer here but I'm not sure what it's address is [18:36] squid0: I don't remember, actually; I didn't notice anything that would put me off, and it worked [18:36] ok [18:36] rysiek|pl: interesting [18:36] skyhunter, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:37] it does something :D downloading [18:37] skyhunter, once it is downloaded, you will need to be sure your 3D drivers are enabled and in use for your card [18:38] how can i check whether my drivers are activated? [18:38] rysiek|pl: or is there a command-line tool to scan for a printer? [18:38] squid0: no idea [18:39] i think its finished [18:39] rysiek|pl: ok, thanks [18:41] is there a command to install the newest nvidia driver? [18:41] skyhunter, check in hardware drivers [18:43] ah ok i activated the recommended one [18:44] now i have to restart again *sigh* [18:44] how can i start compiz after restart? [18:44] we'll discuss when you return :) [18:45] ok [18:47] back [18:47] try alt f2 compiz --replace [18:48] hmm something happend [18:49] skyhunter, now open the compiz settings manager and change (in general settings) desktop size virtual horizontal to 4 [18:50] hmm the comptizconfig window is empty [18:50] skyhunter, additionally enable cube and cube rotate [18:51] i cant open the compiz settings manager [18:51] nothing happen [18:51] can't open? [18:51] i type compiz settings manager in the alt+f2 box [18:52] and then there appears a button called compiz settings manger and when i click it nothing happens [18:52] no, look for it in your settings or administration / preferences menu [18:53] rysiek|pl: I found that nmap does a network scan [18:53] where is administration menu? [18:53] squid0: yes, it's a general network scanner [18:53] squid0: not a "network printer scanner" though [18:54] rysiek|pl: no, but it helps me [18:54] maybe it didnt install the compiz package === atikant is now known as rock === petra is now known as Lokhexe [18:55] skyhunter, what about alt f2 ccsm [18:55] whats ccsm?

[19:12] i did nothing it disappeared after i wrote compiz settings manager into the altf2 box [19:14] skyhunter, not sure about this; you have most everything installed, perhaps you should /join #compiz for clearer answers [19:14] okay :) [19:14] thx a lot [19:14] np :) === davide is now known as dakoyu [19:15] i will restart now an then testing around^^ cu [19:18] The most recent updates my desktop received have lead Plasma to frequently die with SIGSEGV or SIGILL.

[21:17] it sounds more superficial than low level [21:17] vbgunz: I think they can help you in #emo [21:25] vbgunz, how about #firstaid === Blizzzek is now known as Blizzz [21:58] have any of u experienced that ff3 doesnt start maximized? === alberto is now known as Guest17400 [21:58] hi all, i had a bad crash with my kubuntu 8.04 system and now i could need some help. I can boot, but x doesnt start and the network is down. startx says 'failed to load module "type1"', and the same for "freetype". any hints where to start fixing it? [22:00] thats 9.04, sorry [22:00] steve__, are you at a TTY prompt ? [22:00] yes [22:01] steve__, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then after going thru the setup , startx [22:01] ok, i'll try [22:02] well, it says "whiptail: error while loading shared librarries: libnewt.so.0.52: cannot open shared object file: no such file or dir" [22:02] directly from the dpkg-reconfigure command [22:03] steve__, have you updated lately? [22:03] yes, yesterday [22:03] thats when it crashed ;-) [22:03] try the upgrade command [22:03] network is down [22:04] hi, I have an apache2 where I configured an virtual host hexch.dk but I get an premission denied [22:04] can somebody help me ? [22:04] so maybe i should start trying to fix the network? [22:05] if you can [22:05] hm no idea what to do [22:05] i tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:05] it says OK, but still its down [22:06] can i somehow check which packages are broken on my system? [22:06] steve__, how are you talking to us ? [22:06] with my laptop [22:06] that one is fine :-) [22:07] ok [22:08] if i knew which packages are broken i could download with my laptop and then transfer to the other computer, but how do i determine the broken things? [22:09] So, anyone good with Xorg awake? ^_^ [22:09] Xorg starts on CRT-0 but I only have one monitor and it's connected to CRT-1 (vga) [22:10] Could one use apt-get to update in the same way one uses adept from console? [22:11] yes [22:11] Also can one get Ibex to run kde 4.2.4 easily? [22:12] steve__: was that a yes to my question or a yes to your conversation? [22:12] for you, compiler, apt-get works nicely from the console [22:13] so if the adept thing says there are a bunch of udates one just apt-get update ? [22:14] brb [22:14] sudo apt-get update looks for updates, sudo apt-get upgrade installs [22:15] or write sudo apt-get install xyz to upgrade package xyz [22:15] steve__, have you tried wicd as network manager , it's much better than the widget. [22:17] hm, iwcd i dont know, its not on the broken system, so i cannot try right now [22:17] it used to work fine before [22:19] can you dl wicd to your laptop and transfer to your other system ? [22:19] bbiab [22:21] i think i could do that, but i have only text mode on the other computer at the moment [22:21] would it be easier to get the network running again with this wicd [22:21] does it require x? === radek is now known as Guest37372 [23:16] hey, where can i get libtag-extras0 ? ;O [23:16] i have 9.04 [23:17] erm.. tho it's ubuntu not kubuntu; any trouble there? no? sweet. [23:22] MoshMage: have you search the repository? [23:23] yep [23:23] cant find it [23:24] when im installing amarok2 it says that dependenci is unistallable [23:27] what should i press to scroll with tachpad [23:27] rysiek|pl ? [23:28] any idea [23:28] i did it several times ocationaly [23:28] MoshMage: no idea then. google? [23:28] *ocassionaly [23:28] dwarder__: uh..the right side of the touchpad?? [23:29] shadeslayer: yeah, that cool [23:29] works [23:29] what else tauchpad hides from me? :) [23:30] dwarder__: hair....dust..bugs..you never know [23:30] lol [23:30] dwarder__ you can scroll horizontal too [23:30] x) [23:30] MoshMage: not in kubuntu though...or is it just me?? [23:31] not many pages allow you to scroll horizontaly [23:31] idk, i think your touchpad has to be capable of it [23:31] well i found one [23:31] MoshMage: works in vista.. [23:31] dont know then ;o [23:31] Problem: with newest version of virtualbox (not positive if before or not) I'm being shown as jim@Jim-Vista should be jim@Jim-Kubuntu [23:31] how/where is the name set? [23:31] how to scroll horizontally? [23:32] dwarder_ You don't normally [23:32] shadeslayer, dwarder__: you would need to add some stuff to xorg.conf, but you can scroll horizontally, emulate middle-button by two-finger tap and scroll "continually" (as in: start scrolling as normal, but instead of ending at the bottom, start making circles) === root is now known as Guest61917 [23:32] unless there is a scroll bar at the bottom of a window [23:32] bottom side of the touchpad? [23:32] right doesn't work [23:32] rysiek|pl: cool!! [23:32] rysiek|pl: but i dont wanna messup xorg :P [23:32] not as useful as it sounds, but yeah [23:33] shadeslayer: you add it in input device's section, so don't worry [23:33] shadeslayer: besides, X.org now takes 90% of config directly from HAL, so even if you mess something up, you just delete xorg.conf and let it recreate itself :) [23:33] rysiek|pl, any idea on how to grab that runaway lib? [23:33] rysiek|pl: i wish i had multytouch touchpad like on apple mca [23:33] mac [23:33] * rysiek|pl assumes shadeslayer sits on something newer than 8.04 [23:33] :) [23:34] MoshMage: no idea, google for it [23:34] ok, ill keep doing that [23:34] rysiek|pl: yeah..i can sit on 9.10..but itll probably break..so im on 9.04 [23:34] how do I change my machine name? [23:34] argh. and all because they wont help @ amarok if im not using 2.1.1 ;||| [23:34] anyone knows a nice nowPlaying2html for amarok1.4? [23:35] because, all i want to do; is that. [23:35] rysiek|pl: thanks [23:35] dwarder__: cheers [23:35] Serpardum: kdesu kate /etc/hostname [23:35] Serpardum: there might be a nice graphical way in System Settings though [23:36] * rysiek|pl prefers to do such things manually [23:36] thanks, restarting [23:43] didn't fix my problem :( === mushrOOm is now known as VerliHub === VerliHub is now known as mushrOOm
