ctphi folks. a dumb question but where can i redefine the sortcuts for switching between desktops in 4.2 & 4.3?00:31
ctpAlexZion: build-essentials?00:32
AlexZionI already have but it doesn' work actually ...00:32
ctpAlexZion: which app/lib is missing exactely?00:33
AlexZionI don't know mate , I just try to change the Kwin decoration whic is horrible, and I can't install it, when I try with "cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr" an error occurred saying that miss the file "CMakeLists.txt", but actually I can see the file, it's right there on the folder ...00:36
AlexZionand I thought something was missing , because the instruction to install the decoration says "00:37
AlexZionsudo apt-get build-deb kdeplasma-addons"00:37
AlexZionbut I can't get it so ....00:37
AlexZionanyway it's unbeliavable....., to change a decoration it's something for engeneer00:38
AlexZioni was using dekorator but now with kde 4.3 doesn't look so good without the trasparency on the rounded corner ....00:39
AlexZionI will just keep going with this horrible decoration ... :(00:39

rcintrahi! anyone knows how can I organize my desktop widgets in KDE (resize and move) manually? The problem is that KDE keeps applying this annoying auto resize / positioning feature.03:19

EDinNYwhat do I apt-get to auto mount my thumb drives and cdroms?03:20
rcintrayes03:21
dennisteraru_s: but none of the stuff under /usr/share/autostart was related to ekiga as far as I could see...went into gnome for a bit, as it is easier to autostart apps from gnome, but I didn't see it there, either...03:21
rmrfslashAnyone notice Konsole flickers ridiculously in Kubuntu w/ KDE 4.303:21
rcintrabut even if I move them, the KDE automatically moves it to a "ideal" position03:21
rmrfslashwhen scrolling03:21
shadeslayerrcintra: when you left click it and drag it it repositions the widget and the first square button on the handle resizes it03:21
dennisterbrb folks, restarted x and will have a cancer stick while it loads03:22
rcintrashadeslayer: yeah, the problem is that after it the KDE automatically moves my widget to another location03:22
shadeslayerrcintra: works here...03:23
shadeslayerrcintra: is this after you repostion them and reboot??03:23
rcintrashadeslayer: no. just after i reposition it03:23
shadeslayerEDinNY: just apt-cache search package too see what you need ;)03:23
KittyBootsHello, I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and I just installed KDE.  I have a problem with KDE, there is not any program to manage the network connectivity installed what am I missing?03:24
rcintrashadeslayer: it auto reposition the widget03:24
shadeslayerrcintra: hmm...lemme see03:24
shadeslayerKittyBoots: is it fully updated?03:24
KittyBootsI have updated03:24
shadeslayerKittyBoots: then there should be a network manager widget in the add widget box03:25
KittyBootsI am using GNOME to connect03:25

rcintrashadeslayer: "With widgets unlocked, you can rearrange your widgets and move the Plasma icon to where you want it. The Plasma desktop will help you arrange widgets. It is easy to resize them. " ....... according to http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.2/desktop.php03:26

rcintrashadeslayer: sorry, i meant "i can't move them to the corners of the screen"03:28
shadeslayerrcintra: oh....you mean out of the screen...you cant do that i think03:28
shadeslayerrcintra: btw that link you gave me has a video of kde 4.3! haha03:29
rcintrashadeslayer: no, i mean in the corner of the screen. not out of the screen03:29
rcintrashadeslayer: ops :)03:29
shadeslayerrcintra: yeah i get what you mean...like trying to drag them to one corner and theres always some space left out03:30
rcintrashadeslayer: exactly03:30
shadeslayerrcintra: its not possible ;)03:30
dennisteraru_s: ok, i've looked under usr/share/autostart, and /home/user/.kde/Autostart, but can't find any mention of ekiga or konversation, both of which start automatically when kde starts, and since this user only got his internet hooked up recently, there's no way he would have set these two apps to start at kde launch03:30

aru_stry setting it to load a fresh session on login and see03:31
dennisteraru_s: that's possible, while he was exploring his computer...how do I do that?03:31
shadeslayerrcintra: yes...but this prevents the widgets from getting accidentaly obsucred ot getting dragged out of the screen03:31
aru_s3.5?03:32
aru_sI think its under the login part of the system settings03:32
rcintrashadeslayer: what if i want to keep the widgets at the bottom of the screen? is it no possible?03:32
aru_shaven't touched it for ages03:32
shadeslayerrcintra: never tried that...03:32
shadeslayerrcintra: then the taskbar might have to go up :P03:33
dennisteri'll look03:34

jdcnycI clone a Hardy Heron parttion to the second half of the same hard drive. Ibex isn't booting correctly. What's the best way to remove that Ibex partition and make Heron bootable?05:19
DaskreeCHdennister: You are using the alternate CD ?05:20
DaskreeCHjdcnyc: You don't need to remove Ibex just point Grub at the kernel on hardy05:21
jdcnycIsn't Grub fully associated with Ibex?05:21
dennisterDaskreeCH: I haven't started the new install yet, i'm just trying to fix a user's 'working' system...seemed minor things, but then updates...05:22
DaskreeCHjdcnyc: Grub isn't associated with *anything* outside of some *nix type kernel that can take parameters05:22
dennisternope...kde & gnome weren't fixed...was able to install vlc, but login screen hung after entering password05:22
DaskreeCHdennister: what does ~/.xsession-errors say?05:23
DaskreeCH also if you are using the alternate CD to install might as well get it running05:23
dennisterhaven't checked that yet, back in recovery mode05:25
jdcnycDaskreeCH: Sounds like a very good plan. I boot Hardy by typing EXIT<cr> during the Ibex bootup, so maybe there is kernel parameter for the Hardy parition. THANKS!05:25
dennisteralso want to do the remaining 124 upgrades05:26
dennisterapt-get install update?05:26
dennisterno, upgrade05:27
DaskreeCHjdcnyc: If the grub is obeying the parameters set in the Ibex partition just copy over the /boot/grub/menu.lst from hardy05:27
DaskreeCHdennister: try dist-upgrade05:28
dennisterwouldn't that start the intrepid or ibix process? don't want those, just to keep hardy05:28
dennisterupgrade worked05:29
DaskreeCHdennister: Maybe I'd need to know jdcnyc's partition layout but it's pretty simple to swap out the default05:29
jdcnycDaskreeCH: Thanks. I'll copy the older grub setup.05:30
jdcnycThe partitioning is simple: hda1 has bootable defective Ibex, hda2 has reliable older Heron and a small swap file.05:31
dennisterwell, this had better fix most of it...from what I remember before the dependency hell broke out, the main remaining thing is to fix the cd burner errors when I try to play an audio cd with it05:32
DaskreeCHhda2 cannot hold swap and heron05:32
dennisterjdcnyc: he's right, swap is always a partition by itself05:33
jdcnycI failed to explain hda2 holds Heron. There's a swap file in it's own partiton. And that's about it.05:33
dennisterwhat's confusing is that there's no such thing as 'swap *file*'05:34
jdcnycI stand corrected: Swap partition.05:35
dennistersorry to be a picky one :)05:35
DaskreeCHdennister: actually there is You can do it but it's really unlikely05:35
dennisterok, u know more than I DaskreeCH05:36
DaskreeCHdennister: No need to be sorry partitions are not something you want to be fuzzy on when you are making changes to how a system boots05:36
DaskreeCHjdcnyc: First thing of course is to make a backup of the Ibex files you are going to change05:36
dennisteryeah, that's true, this computing stuff requires precision when it comes to partitions05:37
jdcnycI'm planning on editing /etc/x11/xorg.conf as Ibex boots to a login screen where the keyboard and mouse don't work. But for now, I need to get things done with heron.05:39
jdcnycI'm aware others have the frozen Ibex login screen, but it was working fine for weeks. So, editing configuration files might work, or not.05:41

DaskreeCHHigh memory usage won't kill progress if you wait you;ll see a desktop High CPU usage will stop anything from moving foward06:11
DaskreeCHq to get out of top if you don't know06:11
dennisterok, installing pastebinit...06:12

Shdwdrgnjust upgraded kubuntu from hardy to jaunty, reinstalled kde3.5... mostly up and running again, but scrolling in firefox is abysmally slow.  Any suggestions?06:21
Shdwdrgndesktop effects are turned off06:21
DaskreeCHdennister: Looks like your dbus is not there06:21
DaskreeCHdennister: does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade say anything ?06:21
DaskreeCHShdwdrgn: Justi n Firefox?06:22
Shdwdrgnso far06:22
ShdwdrgnI had  bad problem getting kde to come back up... have an older ati card, read there's a lot of problems in xorg1.606:23
Shdwdrgnthunderbird seems to scroll just fine06:23
Shdwdrgnoh, and smooth-scrolling is off in firefox06:23
dennisteryes, seems 4 packages were held back, but I can install them now linux-generic, restricted modules headers...06:23
DaskreeCHShdwdrgn: Oh yeah >_<06:24
DaskreeCHhow old?06:24
dennisterDaskreeCH: installing them now06:24
DaskreeCHdennister: ok06:24
Shdwdrgnradeon 240006:24
DaskreeCHcheck to see if it's one of the problem abandoned cards. Though I think the radeon driver should cover that06:25
Shdwdrgnrunning a dual display.  Used to have a pair of nvidia's, but one died recently, and every time I did an upgrade, I had to re-run the nvidia setup util.06:26
Shdwdrgnvideo playback looks fine as well... so far only firefox seems affected06:28
Shdwdrgnok here's another issue... dragging windows around is choppy as well.06:33
dennisterDaskreeCH: rebooted into new kernel, same issue, am in tty06:37
dennistertried installing dbus, but was told it was already the newest version06:37
dennisterprobably just not running, so I need to get it running from tty i guesss06:38
dennisterDaskreeCH: can u tell me how?06:40
DaskreeCHdennister: hold on try sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop && startx06:42
DaskreeCHShdwdrgn: KDE3 ?06:42
Shdwdrgnyes06:43
DaskreeCHIs resizing windows choppy?06:45
dennisterDaskreeCH: k, tried you line, only using 'gdm' instead of 'kdm' and that killed the running xorg, but I got: can't create /dev/null permission deniedpermission denied06:46
Shdwdrgnnope, resizing kwrite works pretty smooth, but dragging the whole window around is choppy.06:46

joseph_any freelance web programmers out there?06:52
joseph_i want to buy your services06:52
dennisterDaskreeCH: k, back, would switching from gdm to kdm do the trick?06:52
joseph_i need a website06:52
DaskreeCHjoseph_: Wrong room06:52
ShdwdrgnDaskreeCH, doing a page-down in firefox responds immediately as well, it's only scrolling with mouse or arrow keys that is slow06:53
joseph_what room should i go toi?06:53
DaskreeCHdennister: Not if dbus isn't starting. Try running startx to see what it does06:53
DaskreeCHShdwdrgn: Using kwin or compiz?06:53
DaskreeCHjoseph_: ##linux ?06:53
Shdwdrgnnope06:53

DaskreeCHdennister: ok what's the history of this machine?06:56
Shdwdrgnok one more piece... in thunderbird, scrolling through the list of emails works great, but when I open a long email and try to scroll through it, same results as in FF06:57
dennistergave it to user in dec; he had difficulties at first with his hub, getting an ip address, solved that a little while ago, then had problem with sound, brought it back with his daughter's (other machine i'm working on); preliminary problems were solved, haldaemon with media, sound (parts of his mixer had been turned all the way down), then real problems started when I tried doing almost 300 updates06:59
dennisterdoc-base had probs,  that caused the dependency hell, got it fixed, then more updates, then can't get back into x07:01
dennisterdone07:01

Shdwdrgngonna test removing the fglrx driver, brb07:06
dennisterDaskreeCH: any advice to get this dbus runnig?07:10
DaskreeCHdennister: how much stuff do they install themselves?07:11
DaskreeCHdennister: oh also which version of Kubuntu is this?07:12
dennisterthey don't install much themselves, michael is of the belief: if it's not broke, don't fix it and he's only had ip address/ internet a couple of weeks07:14
dennisterkubuntu hardy07:14
dennisterbut xubuntu and gnome are also installed, using gdm07:15
DaskreeCHcan you loginto Gnome?07:15
dennisterso no wonder he didn't do almost 300 updates07:15
DaskreeCH:-)07:15
DaskreeCHwhere is the system now? still in startx mode ?07:15
dennisterstill in refusing-to-do-startx modei doubt i can get into gnome, but will reboot and try07:16
DaskreeCHdennister: No need to reboot07:16
dennisterk...?07:16
DaskreeCHctrl+C on startx and run sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start07:17
DaskreeCHon the login screen press alt+T and choose gnome07:17
DaskreeCHor gdm start07:17
DaskreeCHwhichevr07:17
DaskreeCHctrl+C can be written as ^C by the way07:20
DaskreeCHso if you see me say ^D or something that's what it means07:20
dennisterremember, I normally use gdm on this machine over kdm, so when I tried  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start it gave me same old problem: enter username, passwrod, and it freezes07:20
dennisterI can't get into any of xubuntu, kubuntu, or ubuntu07:21
DaskreeCHok yeah your dbus needs to get sorted out07:23
DaskreeCHyou can try remove --purge it07:23
DaskreeCHbut that's going to dump a LOT of packages07:23
dennisterwell, i can always put them back with ubuntu-desktop and the like07:24
DaskreeCHwell sure then07:25
DaskreeCHsudo apt-get remove dbus --purge07:25
dennister136 packages07:26
DaskreeCHthen sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop07:26
DaskreeCHthat's all?07:26
dennisterthe other system's almost done, lol07:26
DaskreeCH:-D07:26
DaskreeCHTold you to start it07:26
dennisteractually, i think i forgot the --purge07:27
DaskreeCHI've 189 packages to remove here07:27
dennisteri'm tired :(07:27
DaskreeCHdennister: --purge is probably better for this problem07:27
dennisteryeah, like i said, i forgot07:27
DaskreeCHYeah I have to get up in a few hours to drive into the country07:28
dennisterand i'm trying to start a nonprofit here....tons of work07:28
dennisteras far as the other machine is concerned i've got so much friggin hardware here i didn't think i could use the semi-setup in the other room for the other machine07:30
DaskreeCHI'm normally surprised by how unfussy Linux is to get things done07:32
DaskreeCHnormally I just need A CPU Ram Keyboard and net07:33
dennisteryeah, normally, but every once in a while you get huge messes like this07:33
DaskreeCHMore or less when I hit like 60-80 updates I always use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade07:34
dennistera server I'm very excited about was delivered at the same time as these 3 machines of my client's and I haven't even had a chance to turn it on yet07:34
DaskreeCHmuch smarter about not just cocking things up07:34
DaskreeCHsounds lke you and the server have a nice weekend lined up :-D07:35
dennisterthey picked it up for me across town...the builder really knows her stuff, and this was her home server...huge scsi drives...07:35
Nameless_auhi. i'm trying to install kdm4 themes, but no matter what i try to do it says it's an invalid kdm theme. what do i do to install it?07:35

seraphimI'm the only one or sombody else uses ldap authentication with kubuntu ?07:36

seraphimno, I'm just talking07:39
Nameless_auDaskreeCH: any of them, but circuit blue in particular07:39
seraphimDaskreeCH: aus der schweit ?07:39
dennisterwell, it is purging config files, so maybe i didn't forget the --purge switch after all...the other machine now has xubuntu, ubuntu, and now kubuntu is being installed07:39
dennisteralong with all the restricted-extras07:40

dennisteryeah, like hardy was lousy at first until 8.04.1 came out07:43
veckDaskreeCH: oops caps07:43
DaskreeCHdennister: only lts versions get those releases.07:43
dennisterwell, as i said, for newbies...they feel more comfortable with a k/start button07:44
dennisterjaunty was quite gorgeous tho, i have to admit07:44
DaskreeCHKde 4 has a k start button :)07:44
DaskreeCHbut youare servicing it if you feel more comfortable with giving them KDE 3 please go ahead07:45
dennisteryeah, yeah...i have 3.5 and 4 here, but the way the menus work in 4 will be confusing to toehrs07:45
DaskreeCH!kde3 | Oh Should mention this dennister07:45
ubottuOh Should mention this dennister: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at  https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page07:45
DaskreeCHdennister: tried right clicking and selecting Classic menu?07:45
dennisteroh, ok...i thought kde wanted to stop supporting3.5, and had been dropped from k/ubuntu since intrepid07:46
dennisteroh, so 3.5 is possible with intrepid and jaunty?07:46
DaskreeCHveck: https://edge.launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html07:47
dennisterit's still a risk tho, to use a non LTS version...i was really ticked off when they stopped supporting gutsy so soon07:47
DaskreeCHveck: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports you can click on what's this to get the above page07:48
DaskreeCHJaunty07:48
DaskreeCHNone semi official for Ibex AFAIK07:48
veckDaskreeCH: thank you07:49
DaskreeCHThere are 3rd party ones but the packages conflict with the offical ones. The Jaunty one noted above works flawlessly with the official ones07:49
DaskreeCHNot so much wanting to remove KDE 3 as not having anything in the manner of resources to handle two desktops07:49
DaskreeCHveck: you are welcome07:50
DaskreeCHdennister: I'll try to hang around for 10 more minutes07:50
dennisterok, finally reinstalling, but dbus, dbus-x11, ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop only added up to 129 packages instead of 13607:50
dennisterDaskreeCH: ok, i think that's all i can stay awake for too...othe machines almost done07:51
DaskreeCHyeah most likely they added some little apps that they will have to notice are missing and reinstall07:51
dennisterit's kinda wild that installing happens faster than the purging did07:51
DaskreeCHyeah well you have to be careful when scrubbing to make sure you don't do anything rash07:52
DaskreeCHinstalling is just following a scriptto drop files in certain places07:52
dennisteryeah, well, i think i've been futsing around with this long enough :P07:52
dennisterwell i just saw dbus being started :)07:54
DaskreeCHI think that it was started before07:55
DaskreeCHit just wasn't allowing anything to bind to it07:56

ubottuIf 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 !MP308:00

DaskreeCHdennister: Ok but I think you'd be quite surprised08:03
seraphima working linux ldap client needs to have08:03
seraphimfirst : network - sometimes there is no network after boot because the network manager wort no propperly08:03
seraphimsecond : the home shares are mountet via nfs. so no network -> no nfs-home -> no login08:03
seraphimthird : nscd is not working witout network -> no authent08:03
seraphimthis means, the network manager is grap for buisnes networks because it come to late08:03

seraphimthe machine is used for office working08:04
dennisterpeanut butter mmmmmm08:04
seraphimtime ? its 9.05 in the morning08:05
DaskreeCHseraphim: I'd say try upgrade to KDE 4.3 the network manager is a lot more capable but your setup does require some consideration08:05
dennisteranyway, i'm going to say good night here...and u should, too DaskreeCH :)08:06
dennisterthanks for all your help08:07
seraphimfor 2 years, in /etc/network/interfaces I was able to configure a network device. but now, the networkmanager starts after ifup and delete the alrady found devices and make some mistyery sthings08:07
DaskreeCHseraphim: ok then can you file a bug on the network manager and state the situation and that you are willing to work with the team to get it resolved. Then join #kubuntu-devel and state you are having issues with ldap nfs and the network manager and give the URL to the bug08:07
DaskreeCHMost people are sleeping now but they will get in contact with you08:07
DaskreeCHdennister: Damn you I want PBJ now :(08:07
DaskreeCHdennister: has it finished installing?08:07
DaskreeCHseraphim: don't use NM then is a quick solution08:08
dennisternope, it was getting hung at spots, so I'll have to babysit, ctrlc, and then do a fix08:08
DaskreeCHhow do you know it was hung?08:08
DaskreeCHyou can run a sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install08:09
dennisteri would, but it's still trying to setup other stuff08:10

Mamarokmobi-sheep: yeah, a notification should pop up indeed, hence a bug, but you should change the description to "Missing notification ..." or such11:21

mobi-sheepWell, my mom still use Windows XP.  It's really lagging.  256MB ram.  She even is afraid of Vista. (eg, afraid of new thing, unknown objects).11:29
Mamarokwell, then switch her over to KDE, but buy her some ram anyway11:30
mobi-sheepMamarok: Anything useful (eg, kde packages) I should know about?11:31
saidhi11:33
saidhi11:33
saidhello evry bqdy11:34
Mamarokmobi-sheep: nothing in particular, but 1 Gb of Ram is not a luxury for a modern Desktop IMHO11:34
Mamarokmobi-sheep: get hold of a Kubuntu 9.04 CD and install it11:34
valgaavmobi-sheep:  kgtk is a very nice thing  http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=36077 if  you like consistent desktop experience but must use some gtk apps anyway11:35
saidhow I can learn more about linux kubuntu11:35
mobi-sheepvalgaav: I'm using Shiro(Firefox) + XChat.11:36
mobi-sheepsaid: Be more specific, please. :)11:36
mobi-sheepsaid: I'm learning KDE right now. :P11:36
valgaavmobi-sheep: I would also install Smplayer ASAP as it's the best linux player11:37
mobi-sheepWill do.11:38
Mamarokvalgaav: I think you miss the point...11:38
mobi-sheepIt's front-end for mplayer.  Hmm.11:38
Mamarokmobi-sheep: use Konqueror as default browser, if you have Java installed it should work correctly11:38
valgaavMamarok:  why ?11:38
saidhow I can learn more about linux kubuntu11:39
Mamarokmobi-sheep: also, upgrade the default Amarok to 2.1.1 from the backports, 2.0.2 is quite old11:39
mobi-sheepMamarok: Well, I like Firefox plugins.11:39
Mamarokvalgaav: suggestion external packages is not a recommendation in this channel, the default apps run quite well11:39
mobi-sheepDragon ran H264 just fine for me.11:40
Mamaroksaid: you can check the documentation on the website: http://kubuntu.org11:40
saidthank you Mamarok11:40
Mamarokmobi-sheep: oh, and use the xine backend, avoid pulseaudio and gstreamer until further notice, there are too many bugs currently with those and phonon11:41
valgaavMamarok:  I really wouldn't agree about that ... for example konqueror just doesn't work with a lot of webpages... that's why next kubuntu will have arora right ?11:46
Mamarokvalgaav: I doubt that, Arora has too many bugs right now, doesn't work well for me, Konqueror works much better11:48
mobi-sheepErr, I can't run Firefox 3.0 + Firefox 3.5 in KDE.  Do I need.. KGtk (Use KDE Dialogs in GTK Apps).11:52
valgaavyou do not need it11:52
valgaavit's just for people who hat gtk file dialogs11:53
valgaavhat = hate11:53
valgaavbtw what's the problem firefox works for me just fne11:53
* mobi-sheep opens Firefox and wait briefly... as it silently close itself in the taskbar.11:53
Mamarokmobi-sheep: then something could be missing in the installation, or another instance is running already11:54
valgaavalso when installing firefox you should use do it from command line with " apt-get --no-install-recommends11:55
valgaav install firefox11:55
valgaavups paste didn't work ... "apt-get --no-install-recommends install firefox'   with that firefox will not install ubufox and all the gnome dependencies11:57
mobi-sheepvalgaav: Solved.11:58
mobi-sheepvalgaav: I didn't try your command btw. :P11:58
mobi-sheepIt didn't get along with my .mozilla so I tried a clean one.11:59

etfbI've used Amarok, and I have to say: all those people who rave about it are on crack.  It's hideous.  It's slow, it's clunky, and a feature like the ability to browse my music collection seems to be totally beyond it.  Horrible.  So: what's the alternative?  is there a music player that works in Kubuntu and doesn't crash on startup just because I have a few dozen gigabytes of music files?12:30
KlavKalashjetfb: why don't use mpd with some nice frontend?12:31
bazhangetfb, then try something else; there are a number to choose from12:32

mobi-sheep[-Haza-]: You're serious? o.O12:47
mobi-sheep[-Haza-]: I found it!12:47
mobi-sheep[-Haza-]: Right-click on the panel. Under Filters, click "Only show tasks from the current desktop" -- I have been using KDE for few hours now. :P12:47
HiratoI've a fresh install of kubuntu 8.10 here; I'm curious as to why the upgrade to 9.04 installs lilo, despite the presence of grub12:48
[-Haza-]mobi-sheep: Yeah ive done it before on my desktop. But im pretty sure version of Kubuntu on my desktop has more options...12:51
[-Haza-]mobi-sheep: Right click only seems to brong up the options: Add Widgets, Add panel, Lock Widgets, Panel Settings and Remove this Panel12:53
mobi-sheep[-Haza-]: Task Manager Setting.12:53
[-Haza-]mobi-sheep: If i remember correctly i have to run some KDE update that isn't enables in the repository by default12:53
etfbRight: add Audacious to the list of music players that don't work, along with Amarok.  Trying then next one...12:54
[-Haza-]mobi-sheep: Task manager?12:54
mobi-sheep[-Haza-]: That's what I see it when I right-click on the panel (not Windows List or any other widgets).12:55
[-Haza-]mobi-sheep: Makes me think we are not using exactly the same version :) Even though i installed this about a month ago from the latest CD12:56
mobi-sheep[-Haza-]: Few hours ago. :)12:56
mobi-sheepI'll look what version I have.12:56
[-Haza-]mobi-sheep: just click Help on any application then About KDE12:56
[-Haza-]Think you will find it there12:56
mobi-sheepI got it but I don't see the version.12:57

namelessjonp_quarles: What is 'almost everything' though? I'm guessing I need /etc /boot /usr /home /lib /lib32 /root /bin /sbin and don't need /proc, /dev.  But there are a bunch of other folders in / that I'm not sure about.16:03
BluesKajnamelessjon, you /proc  and /dev16:15
BluesKajneed16:15
namelessjonBluesKaj: Well, I need the folders there, but to restore my system, do I need the contents?16:16
shadeslayerisnt /proc cleared out when the system is shut down?16:17
BluesKajnamelessjon, I'm quiite sure /dev looks all your devices /drives16:17
shadeslayerbest to use something to image your entire HD onto a external drive and then upgrade...16:18
BluesKajshadeslayer, dunno16:18
shadeslayerhmmm16:18
BluesKajnamelessjon, exactly what is your situation/problem , maybe there are other ways to fix it ?16:19
shadeslayer[#kubuntu]16:20
namelessjonBluesKaj: I'm currently running Hardy.  I want to upgrade to Jaunty.  But I'd also like to be able to go back to Hardy, should things go wrong.16:20
shadeslayerwhoops....putty is weird sometimes....16:20
shadeslayernamelessjon: i would advise you to image your HD,download a ISO and reinstall completely.....but thats just me16:21
BluesKajok namelessjon , if I'm not mistaken , you should just do a clean jaunty install on a different partition16:21
namelessjonshadeslayer: I plan to go for doing a clean install, not just an upgrade via updater, but I was just trying to work out what should be copied, vs stuff linux makes for itself.16:23
BluesKajupgrading from Hardy to Jaunty has too many steps in between16:24
namelessjonHence my plan to back things up first :)16:24
shadeslayernamelessjon: imho you should rsync the / partition and do a clean install16:24
shadeslayernamelessjon: the HD to which you rsync should be ext..16:24
BluesKajnamelessjon, don't copy anything except data and media16:24
shadeslayerBluesKaj: also the permissions...16:26
BluesKaji thought the permissions set in the new OS would be sufficient16:27
BluesKajbut I've never done such an upgrade so....16:27
shadeslayerBluesKaj: it would be best advised i think to use rsync... any other ideas guys??16:28
namelessjonWell, the external harddisk is formatted as ext3, so any and all perms should be copied.16:28

corka, how big is your partition?19:15
ka6,7 gb19:15
Dragnslcrka- run this command and pastebin the output: sudo du -h --max-depth=1 /19:15
DragnslcrIt might take a couple minutes to finish19:15
corof course, that's after he checks the man page to ensure you didn't just ask him to wipe his machine, of course19:16
cor;o)19:16
kaI always check ;-)19:17
corheh good man.19:17
corI usually just do df -h19:17
corit's quick#19:17
kaBesides I just made a backup...19:17
Dragnslcrdf only shows mounted partitions19:17
coryeah, but that's usually my problem!19:18
DragnslcrThe command I gave you will show which directory in / is sucking up your disk space19:18
coryup, it's handy19:18
corthere's a visial version too, I think, but I've not used it19:18
cor*visual19:18
Dragnslcrka- obviously, you'll want to ignore directories that are on other partitions, like /home19:19
kaResults from : sudo du -h --max-depth=1 /  = http://pastebin.ca/149605819:19
kaseems like var is sucking 2.8gb19:20
DragnslcrWell, /usr is a bit bigger than what I have, but it's normal19:20
DragnslcrYeah, /var is about 2 GB bigger than what I have19:20
corlogs?19:20
DragnslcrYou can run the same command, but with /var instead of /19:20
DragnslcrYeah, log files would be my first guess19:20
cormaybe a mad samba error or something19:21
kaYikes; 2,5G    /var/cache19:21
corwoah19:21
DragnslcrYep, that's what I was about to say19:21
DragnslcrMost of the space in /var for me is /var/cache19:21
DragnslcrMostly apt19:21
DragnslcrRun it again on /var/cache19:22

peabodyok this is weird and the most annoying thing ever19:24
peabodyis there some "feature" that makes it so once I left click my mouse it stays clicked down?19:24
DragnslcrI have a 500 GB disk that I'll never fill anyway, so I just my root partition 25 GB19:24
peabodybecause everything is dragging and selecting, and I logged out and back in, and it wasn't selecting anything until I clicked something then it started all over again and it won't stop19:25
Dragnslcrpeabody- might be some accessibility feature19:25
peabodythis has never happened to me before and I have no idea how to turn it off19:25

Dragnslcrpeabody- I dunno. I don't see anything in the Accessibility settings19:26
corpeabody, is this a laptop?19:26
peabodyeverything I mouse over gets selected it's a pain in the ass just to stay in this channel because as I mouse over my buffers it swtiches to them19:26
peabodycor yes and my trackpad is disabled19:26
corsingle-click to select19:26
peabodyhow do I turn it off?19:26
The-Jesusyep sincle click option is on settings-mouse19:27

The-Jesusbtw thanks all, i finally got the problem with my dvd sorted - had to set the region and voila19:29
peabodycor I have single click to open enabled, but I don't see this single click to select, and quite honestly it's selected on mouse over, so that as I move over the menu on the left it changes the options available and when I click something on the taskbar it tries to drag it around19:29

peabodyit's unchecked19:30
peabody:(19:31
DragnslcrYeah, this definitely doesn't sound like intentional behavior19:31
DragnslcrMaybe it's the mouse itself or the USB port that's messed up?19:31
peabodyit wasn't even a system update I was just in the middle of webbrowsing and it started happening19:31
peabodybluetooth mouse19:31
DragnslcrBleh19:32
DragnslcrI gave up on my Bluetooth mouse a while ago. I could never get it to work very well19:32
The-Jesusor dirt, is your mouse old?19:32
peabodymine has worked fine since I bought it two months ago19:32
peabodylet me plug in the usb cable and see if there's something with teh bluetooth19:32

peabodystrange, let's hope that doesn't happen again19:39
corif only hope were that powerful19:40
Dragnslcrpeabody- yeah, sounds kinda like the sort of problems I had with a Bluetooth mouse. It just wasn't very reliable19:40
corWiFi mouse have never let me down, so far19:40
peabodyDragnslcr: I've been using bluetooth for literally years never had an issue except for an occassional key "stuck" for a few seconds on the bt keyboard19:40
DragnslcrGuess your keyboard and mouse are better than mine were19:41
cordo bluetooth keyboards have the transmissions encrypted?19:41
DragnslcrI would assume so19:41
peabodydepends on which mode they are in19:41
DragnslcrPretty sure that's a basic part of the Bluetooth spec19:41
cortook me an age to find an encrypted WiFi keyb/mouse setup19:42
peabodythe mouse is always encrypted, the keyboard is unencrypted under basic pairing19:42
peabodybut once it is in hdi? transmission mode it should be encrypted19:42
corwireless keyboards just seem like such an easy way to snoop someone's keystrokes19:42
peabodythey are19:42

DragnslcrUnfortunately, no. I tried a quick search on Google, but I didn't see anything right off20:32
c_anthony07:S Do you think maybe if I downloaded an older version and installed it then upgraded that it would work?20:33
DragnslcrMight be worth checking the md5sum of your disc image and doing a media check of the disc20:35

corif your downloaded iso is 100%, perhaps your CD is wonky. you can make an image of the CD, and re-check its hash. it *should* be identical (use ImgBurn)20:51
coralways smart to check "verify burn" when making install CDs, I find20:52
c_anthony07hash matched.20:52
cormatched the .iso file you downloaded?20:52
c_anthony07I'll run the cd through my disc info tool. Maybe it was just a bad disc.20:53
c_anthony07yep. the hash from the iso I downloaded matched up with kubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso20:53
coraye, always start with the perfect negative20:54
corit's a pity you're short of CDs, there are lots of handy bootable tools and mini distros that would be useful right now, if you could burn them. Perhaps your puter can boot from a Pen Drive, and that might give you at least another option for installing a Linux.20:55

c_anthony07ugh... I've gotta open the case again to get the mobo model #21:56
c_anthony07the past couple days have made me sick of looking in this thing's case lol21:56
wirechiefpower it down. remove the graphics card. use the onboard selection in the bios.21:57
wirechiefuse the vga connector on the motherboard21:57
wirechiefthen see.21:58
corif you have windows installed query the mobo model from inside windows21:58
wirechiefif that doesnt work you have an issue with your graphics onboard and its causing a crash i would think, somethings dmesg will give some indications too.21:58
wirechiefor the /var/syslog21:59
coror use Hirens boot CD - the latest version has a "mini XP" you can run windoze apps from. handy in emergencies21:59
corthough that boot cd's legal status is suspect, I should add21:59
rudidoes anyone know how to get compiz working again in 9.04 if you have intel integrated graphics22:00

Captain_Haddockjaunty + intel = fail (usually)22:00
corin linux lshw is excellent.22:00
corI had compiz running on inetgrated intel graphics in Jaunty22:00
wirechiefrudi intel is badly broken in jaunty im afraid.22:01
corit still is, in fact, but I have it switched off - I prefer kwin22:01
* The-Jesus hugs his ATi =(22:01
* Captain_Haddock doesn't care for "fancy" :P22:01
corOh, wait a minute, it might be ATI lol22:01

Captain_Haddockand it ain't going to get fixed for this release :S22:02

Captain_Haddockrudi: you can try force-enabling it22:02
Captain_Haddockbut, there are obviously drawbacks to it.22:02

drvoodoohi all, how can i check if the radeon driver (xserver-xorg-video-ati) is really used on by thinkpad?22:25
firecrotchdrvoodoo: Check the Xorg.0.log file, there will be a line somewhere along the lines of "Loading Module "ati""22:27
The-Jesusyou can try glxinfo |grep vendor - the output should say ATi22:27
c_anthony07Question... should I dual boot my desktop with XP/Kubuntu or just run straight kubuntu?22:28
drvoodooit says SGI and Tungsten Graphics, Inc.22:29
c_anthony07I'm a gamer, but not really of the hardcore variety22:29
firecrotchc_anthony07: If you absolutely need access to something that is Windows-only22:29
drvoodoobut the xorg-log says (II) LoadModule: "radeon"22:29
c_anthony07Eh... I've got my laptop for windows stuff...guess I'll go straight kubuntu.22:30
c_anthony07Is it possible to network a kubuntu desktop with a Vista laptop?22:30
c_anthony07(for those who didn't know, I'm a first-time linux user)22:30
firecrotchc_anthony07: Yes22:31
The-Jesus..... drvoodo what is the model of your ati card?22:31

artur_what could i do22:32
The-Jesushuh... no longer supported by the ATi driver22:33

drvoodooyes, i have the radeon driver installed, not fglrx ;)22:34
robin0800The-Jesus, How do you do that?22:34
The-Jesuswait it says SGI on the vendor output, so it is already on22:35
