KDE = qt; they're unlikely to share themes unless the themes have been ported. === Captain_Hadd0ck is now known as Captain_Haddock [08:52] Mamarok: I have installed: Whats its default location [08:55] I have installed linux-source using apt-get; where it is installed ? [08:56] ibrar: doesn't the link I gave you tell you where it is? should be in /boot AFAIK [08:58] Mamarok: It installed correctly but where? [08:59] ibrar: I just read the description, it should be in /boot, see the link I gave you on how to compile a kernel [08:59] :O Kate in KDE 4.3 has just become my new best friend! It autocompletes my variables names :) [08:59] dwidmann: nice :) === newbthinkpad600e is now known as HELP-nosound [09:09] upgraded another machine to jaunty -> FAIL. fglrx breaks, and the kernel oopses. Googled and found only this: http://pastebin.com/f50ca5884 [09:11] dfaure: hi, the problem is the fglrx driver, they removed support for older cards about 6 months ago [09:11] * Mamarok blames ATI-AMD [09:12] yes I see that. But then why did ubuntu upgrade to xorg-1.6? :( [09:12] dfaure: ask the Ubuntu core devs, not our decision :( [09:23] where can i download restricted drivers in kubuntu? [09:25] I don't know if I missed doing something, but I just installed 9.04 and updated it and all that. Desktop effects are on, but my panel isn't transparent. I'm a newbie to this so I apologize if I just missed something really obvious; but how do I make it transparent? [09:26] restricted drivers ;) [09:26] I installed that [09:26] (and rebooted) [09:29] osa: Any ideas? [09:31] osa: Oh, I was talking to you when you weren't here. [09:31] osa: Do you have any other ideas? [09:31] Or anyone else for that matter. [09:31] is there any other ways to install restricted drivers? i cant istall with system > hardware drivers [09:31] epsilon sorry, i tried to restart [09:31] i cant install restricted drivers now :) [09:32] whats a nice pdf viewer for kde? [09:33] preferably something thats light on resources, but still looks sexy? [09:33] CptnAwesome: I find the default, Okular, to be very good, but I assume you don't like it since you ask..? [09:33] osa: I installed through the hardware drivers screen. I know they work, since the login screen doesn't have a terrible resolution anymore, among other things. : ) [09:34] eps1lon, i installed ubuntu cli + kde 4.2 so i didnt get the extra bells and whistles, just adding thigns as i use them =) [09:34] CptnAwesome: In that case I'd recommend Okular : ) [09:35] epsilon i cant install in hardware drivers screen, nor im trying apt-get install restricted-manager [09:35] and ill try again [09:35] thanks im grabbing it now =) [09:35] osa: okay [09:40] osa: normally you should have those drivers already running [09:40] Mamarok, but i didnt install any drivers and my kubuntu too slow now, in effects [09:41] osa: well, how much ram do you have, and what graphic card/ram? [09:41] 4gb 1600mhz rams and ati hd4890 graphics [09:41] its about drivers i think [09:41] osa: and you have the fglrx driver installed? [09:42] thats the problem, i cant install fglrx drivers [09:42] restricted drivers screen is crashing [09:43] osa: oh, then you are hit by the fglrx bug... ATI-AMD removed a lot of cards from the driver support, so you have to fall back on the radeon driver [09:43] Mamarok, now i tried to download drivers from EnvyNG and it seems ok, i must restart now [09:44] osa: good luck then, I doubt that TBH [09:44] sorry for my english :) im restarting now [09:44] TBH? [09:44] to be honest [09:44] ah ok :) [09:47] omg driver says: unsupported hardware [09:47] my driver is hd4890 [09:48] my driver* my card is hd4890 [09:49] osa: that's what I told you earlier... [09:50] you need to install the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package and hope it supports *D on your card [09:50] Mamarok i didnt remember what you said, now could you say me what i must do :) [09:50] how? [09:50] well, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon :) [09:51] ok, i did, now? [09:51] then remove all the fglrx stuff you installed earlier, you need to do that in a shell, not logged in KDE [09:51] and once those are removed, you need to type the following: [09:52] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:52] then restart [09:55] Mamarok, its faster now i think [09:55] how can i be sure its ok or not? === guenter is now known as mich1 [09:56] osa: well, disable all the desktop effects you don't want to use, sppeds up a bit [09:56] how much ram does your video card have? [09:57] 1024mb [09:57] oh, then it should be very fast [09:57] Mamarok 4890 is one of the fastest card in planet now [09:57] especially with 4GB of ram [09:57] yea.. [09:57] its the problem :) [09:58] osa: but, if the free radeon driver doesn't support 3D it will be slow, blame ATI-AMD and the ubuntu-core-devs to have switched to Xorg-1.6 [10:05] how can i install xorg-driver-fglrx [10:06] osa: up the package manager, find the package and mark it for install [10:06] osa: I didn't get to make my panels transparent. Upon applying a new desktop effect the whole thing crashed, and I couldn't start it. I'm downloading a new .iso now, perhaps my last one was faulty. [10:07] epsilon, im working on problems like you, i think ill download gnome version [10:08] Haha, okay. [10:08] KDE sure is stable. [10:08] haha yeah :) [10:08] ````a-\ [10:08] yesterday, i did install debian stable version [10:08] ]\0 [10:09] HUM [10:09] .._ [10:09] and my debian cant open, it said "out of range" [10:09] ? [10:09] osa: that's weird [10:09] epsIlon, im unlucky i think, lets try ubuntu gnome version :) [10:10] well, i'm not giving up, i'm trying kubuntu again :P [10:10] does anyone know of a nice plasmoid for wifi strength? [10:10] i just clicked rename on a icon in a desktop wiget folder and clicked copy and the desktop and every thing turned black all i got is this irc up [10:11] CptnAwesome: The default wifi plasmoid, placed on a panel, should show wifi strength? [10:11] any know how to fix without a reboot [10:11] hrmm i dont seem to have a wifi plasmoid. [10:13] CptnAwesome: I don't know what it is called when installing it through apt, but ask in freenode.org's #kde, they should be able to help you with that if someone here can't. : ) [10:13] ohhh nice, thanks [10:19] wow i just restarted the system and all my webbrowsers are still open whats up qith that [10:21] beyondcr: that's called session management :-) [10:23] sweet [10:24] i fall in love with this alittle more each day [10:36] anyone got performance problems with KDE4.2 and Intel video card ? [10:38] so if i shut down system things will be the way i left them when reboot yes? [10:39] becuses of session man [10:39] beyondcr: apps get restarted, but of couse not things like unsaved data in a text editor ;) [10:40] ty [10:43] dfaure: nice to have you here :) [10:43] Mamarok: yeah especially now that I stopped ranting about jaunty ;) [10:57] Is there any way to back up my whole kubuntu installation, so I can restore it if I screw something up? [10:58] Preferbly even if it gets totally effed up and I can't even boot. (which happened an hour ago. I just reinstalled kubuntu.) [10:59] eps1lon: do you have your /home on a separate partition? [10:59] Mamarok: Yes [10:59] eps1lon: well, you can make a copy of your hard disk with dd, but a reinstall is always faster than restoring a backup [10:59] Hm, okay. I thought it might be faster. [11:00] you should backup your /home folder, though, as well as the /etc folder [11:00] why weren't you able to reboot in the first place? If you have a hardware problem, then it will not get solved with a backup [11:00] Well, thing is [11:01] Ugh, this is a terribly long story [11:01] eps1lon: abstract? [11:02] Mamarok: Sorry, got disconnected [11:02] Mamarok: Abstract? What..? [11:02] eps1lon: an abstract is a short summary of a long article :) [11:03] Mamarok: Oh. [11:03] Mamarok: Basically, I downloaded kubuntu a few days ago, installed it yesterday. [11:04] And everything went well, installed and configured it. [11:04] When I got everything as I wanted it, I wanted my panels to be transparent. [11:04] eps1lon: so you are running KDE 4.2.2? [11:04] Oh, yes, sorry. [11:05] eps1lon: you can't modify just the panels, it's a theme, so you need to use another theme [11:05] And, well, upon applying a desktop effect, to see if it sort of would refresh everything and transparency would be there. [11:05] No no, both, wassit called [11:05] Both oxygen and air can be transparent [11:05] And currently I use air. (It works on 4.2 too.) [11:05] eps1lon: well, desktop effects do not make a panel transparent if it's not ment to in the theme [11:05] It is meant to be transparent. [11:06] ok [11:06] so what went wrong? [11:06] Every time I've used kubuntu before today they have been, after installing restricted drivers. [11:06] Yeah so [11:06] eps1lon: moment, what graphic card do you have? [11:06] Ati (hd4850) [11:07] eps1lon: well, this is a rather old card, I doubt the restricted driver still supports it [11:07] Old card? [11:07] You kidding? [11:07] and this still doesn't explain why you couldn't boot your PC [11:07] It's far from old man, came last year if my memory serves me right. [11:07] eps1lon: well, when did it come out? [11:08] Already told you ; ) [11:08] that's the problem, the latest fglrx for xorg-1.6 removed almost all cards older than 6 months [11:08] Ohh, seriously? [11:08] blame ATI-MD [11:08] AMD* [11:08] eps1lon: im at fedora now and its working great at my graphic driver :) [11:08] so if you can't run correctly with the fglrx driver, you should use the free radeon instead [11:09] Eugh, the free driver is terribad, in my opinion. [11:09] transparency works well with it, maybe 3D might be a problem, you will have to test that [11:09] but still, not a reason not to be able to boot a PC :) [11:09] eps1lon: the free driver at least supports your card, fglrx likely doesn't [11:09] Well, yes. Kind of weird that everything else works though, isn't it..? [11:10] Except transparency, that is. [11:10] eps1lon: transparency works for me with the radeon driver, and my card is even older than yours [11:11] Hm. This conversation is weird, I've never called a barely one-year-old card 'old'. : ( [11:11] eps1lon: also, transparency is the easiest of all desktop effects, almost always works, even with XRender instead of OpenGL [11:12] Yeah, I suppose you're right [11:12] eps1lon: from the manufacturers POV it is [11:12] Hang on [11:12] It works in ubuntu though? [11:12] Just not in kubuntu [11:12] eps1lon: wrong, it either works in both or in none, xorg is independend of the desktop [11:13] Well, it worked 2 days ago, ubuntu jaunty [11:13] eps1lon: on another hand, you shoudl upgrade your KDE, there is 4.2.4 which is a bugfix, see the topic of the channel [11:13] Eh, it might be 4.2.4, it's a default jaunty installation and fully updated. [11:13] How do I check that? [11:14] well, then you are doing something wrong in the settings, don't modify theme settings, it works well here with all themes that support transparency [11:14] I haven't modified anything. [11:14] eps1lon: no, default is KDE 4.2.2, that's what was delivered in APril [11:14] Ah, then that it is. [11:15] Please [11:15] Correct me if I'm wrong [11:15] http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36&lang=English [11:15] eps1lon: see the topic for 4.2.4, if you are comfortable with a RC, you should consider KDE 4.3 RC2 [11:15] But my card seems to be supported? [11:15] epsiwell, thes say the same for mine, and it doesn't work [11:15] sry, eps1lon [11:16] So the reason it doesn't work is not intended? [11:16] They just didn't stop supporting it? [11:16] They didn't just* [11:16] eps1lon: the reason is that the fglrx driver is broken [11:16] ..always worked fine for me. [11:17] and they laid off half of the driver devs about a year ago and haven't hired new ones, so their support for fglrx is extremly bad [11:17] eps1lon: my card works extremly well with the windows drivers, just not with their fglrx [11:18] Hm, okay. But I have used fglrx with this exact pc, in jaunty, so this must have happened very recently. Like last month recently. [11:18] so much for a company pretending to support Linux [11:18] eps1lon: no, it started with xorg -1.6 [11:18] I'm new. When did that happen, then? [11:19] A newbie, rather. [11:20] eps1lon: I use the radeon driver since April, so I can't tell [11:20] hm [11:20] Well, I dunno about this, I used the fglrx driver in June.. [11:21] I'm not saying you're wrong, it might work horribly, but at least I know it did _work_ then. [11:23] eps1lon: which theme is a problem, Air? [11:23] Air, Oxygen. [11:23] it's not ment to be used in 4.2.x btw [11:23] I know. [11:23] oxygen should work [11:23] Yes, it should. [11:23] Actually [11:24] eps1lon: could well be a verison problem then, give 4.3 RC2 a try, it's very stable [11:24] I had transparency a few days ago, but then I installed ubuntu because I wanted to try Gnome, but now that I've switched again I can't get it to work. [11:24] Oh, god no, updating to 4.3 RC2 broke everything. After tons of help and trying to get it to work it was still horribly broken. [11:25] eps1lon: well, then something went wrong with your installation [11:25] 3 times? [11:25] eps1lon: I installed Gnome the other day to try stuff, and everything works fine in Kubuntu, and so does KDE 4.3 RC2 [11:26] Okay. Well, I dunno, I just know it worked then. [11:26] if you don't modify basic settings in your KDE, there is no reason it wouldn't work, just make sure you install *everything* [11:27] as there has been some renaming of packages, make sure you really have everything, like kdebase, oxygen and such, check with the package manager [11:27] Yeah, I did everything that was on kubuntu.org (they have a little guide on upgrading to 4.3 in jaunty.) [11:28] eps1lon: still, check the package manager, I had to isntall stuff manually [11:29] Yeah, so did I afterwards, people were helping me. Still, RC is the keyword(s). 4.2 should work better. [11:29] And this _should_ work. [11:30] eps1lon: indeed, if it worked before, but with all the changings you did, difficult to say what is broken [11:30] "never change a running system" [11:30] Hey, got a little question: i'm trying to play a dvd, but kaffeine doesn't play it, and mplayer gets stuck, any ideas? [11:30] Yeah, well, I wanted to run Ubuntu for a while. I've never had any trouble with k/ubuntu. And now it's all very troublesome. [11:33] eps1lon: did you remove the user settings in ~/.kde/? log out of KDE, move that folder to ~/.kde_old/ and try again [11:33] Ced___: do you have all the codecs installed? [11:33] !codec [11:33] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:33] Mamarok: You mean when upgrading to RC2? [11:33] Mamarok: Or just now? [11:33] Thanks, i'll try again [11:35] eps1lon: right now [11:35] Mamarok: I haven't. I suppose that is worth a try. [11:35] By 'try again' I suppose you mean, what, reboot? === zorael_ is now known as Zorael [11:37] Pardon my silly questions. [11:37] eps1lon: no, just log in into KDE again after it, remove that folder from a shell with the following command: [11:37] Yeah, I know. [11:37] mv ~/.kde/ ~/.kde_old/ [11:37] Thanks though. : ) [11:37] Brb. [11:37] are there any codec packs with restricted codecs i can install using adept? [11:38] Ced___: try the medibuntu packages: [11:38] !medibuntu [11:38] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [11:38] thanks again [11:43] okay, back [11:43] I'm creating the panels and everything [11:43] Still no transparency, though [11:48] I have a Data DVD with JPEGs, but it won't open, it doesn't display, it doesn't mount, nothing. It DOES work on another computer though (windows), also the dvd video player works now. === SealV is now known as Islington [11:49] Any ideas?... [11:50] Ced___: if it has DRM, you can't use it on Linux [11:50] Mamarok: I tried enabling a desktop effect; it got effed up again. [11:50] effed up? [11:50] Mamarok: I don't know how to explain it. [11:51] It's burned by some private company, so should not contain any DRM stuff [11:51] No panels, everything is grey.. [11:51] Can't interact with anything [11:51] Anyway [11:51] I removed fglrx [11:51] eps1lon_: that is a plasma crash I think [11:51] And now transparency works [11:51] so much for proprietary drivers [11:52] eps1lon_: make sure you have *all* kde packages [11:52] I don't care anymore. As you said, don't fix what isn't broken. [11:52] And now I got what I wanted. [11:52] Ced___: then I don't know, the devices manager doesn't see it at all? Does the drive actually run? [11:52] eps1lon_: good [11:53] The drive runs, and works with other DVDs (such as that movie i asked about a few minutes ago), but this DVD won't o anything === thebase is now known as Guest33026 [11:56] Anything i should try? [12:01] Mamarok: Maybe some lspci command where you can see from 'OH that's your problem' or something [12:04] well, i gotta go unfortunally, so, thanks for that help, and cya some other time maybe! [12:13] what version of KDE is on the Live CDs? === intel is now known as Peace- [12:17] list [12:24] тест [12:25] ondrey, #ubuntu-ru for Russian === neverendingo_ is now known as neverendingo [12:27] ondrey, /join #ubuntu-ru === clint_ is now known as help === help is now known as help-no [12:55] hey, anyone here? [12:55] need help with the infamous sound issue with flash [12:55] upgraded to 9.04 and at first flash worked like a charm but no theres no sound anymore [12:56] is thios flash plugin nonfree ? [12:57] its the Adobe Flash player in add/remove [12:57] probably yes [12:57] hmmm [12:59] so? [12:59] hi, kinda dumb question, is there a point in checking disks at boot if I'm running kubuntu in a vm? [13:00] alutza: 64 bit ? [13:00] so anything about the flash sound in kubuntu? [13:00] 32 [13:00] it worked yesterday [13:01] after the upgrade ? [13:01] yep [13:02] sudo apt-get install w32codecs flash-plugin-nonfree [13:02] pls check this [13:02] sudo apt-get install w32codecs flash-plugin-nonfree [13:02] wait [13:03] Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. [13:03] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [13:03] is only available from another source [13:03] ok you need to reopen the medibuntu repositories [13:03] just a sec [13:04] i cant find them [13:13] I'm trying to setup an forum and need to know if it works. please go to fpv.no and click the only link on the page and tell me if you get an error. [13:19] Is anyone else here using Kppp? Is there a better alternative for broadband connections? [13:20] Basically, I've been having a Plasma "Failed to run Kppp.desktop. Either Krunner is not responding or not running" error everytime I launch it. I have to wait for the error to come up which takes 10-15 seconds meanwhile the entire system is unresponsive. [13:20] alutza: medibuntu.org [13:20] there is all described [13:21] install kubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs if this wont be installed [13:21] but if it did work till today [13:21] Good thing is, I can just close the error dialog and the machine returns. [13:21] why doesnt it work now [13:24] anyway ... installed it [13:24] nope not working [13:37] Hiyas [13:40] hullo [13:41] hi [14:00] please tell me someone is here.. simple question, but i hope a pro can answer [14:00] is there any use to pulseaudio [14:01] i purged it so my sound in flash would work again... and i dont know if it has any use except for making things not work [14:01] alutza: on a good distribution it is really helpful [14:01] but yes, ubuntu hasn't ever been able to get it working .. [14:01] oh [14:01] lol [14:02] you can use some nice things with it, like mixing sound by application, or switch an application from an audio output to an other [14:02] audio output can be almost anything: rtp streams, bluetooth headset, alsa output [14:02] (but i haven't found any icecast output yet.) [14:03] but on another good distribution its purpose is to? [14:03] work as a "driver" for sound cards [14:03] or? [14:03] it's a middleware between soundcards and applications [14:03] it dispatches (and mixes), application's sound to drivers [14:03] my undestanding is that alsa works as the driver for pulse audio [14:03] mhm [14:04] it's a fuzzy area ..heard all kinds of arguments about roles played by alsa and pulse [14:05] but yes, alsa and pulseaudio features overlapses a lot [14:05] many features in alsa are in pulseaudio, and the other side too. [14:06] but some features in pulseaudio are really great (as i said, you can set the volume output, on a per application basis) [14:09] I wonder when they will dev an audiolayer which integrates the roles of both ...it's quite confusing and even the ubuntu sites don't explain things very well [14:09] BluesKaj: i hope they will never ! [14:10] alsa is mainly for kernel side, pulseaudio for software side [14:10] the thing is alsa goes to far in some features [14:10] phh, so alsa is a kernerl module [14:11] mainly, but not only [14:11] (and imho, it should be only a kernel module) [14:12] I'm not complaining about the alsa and pulseaudio functions ...they seem to work well together , at least on my setup [14:14] looks like the devs are perfecting kernel modules for intel , ati and nvidia graphics too [14:15] Xserver-xorg is no longer editable ..basically [14:22] does anyone know how to install webcam on ubuntu pls [14:23] pls help me [14:23] just plug it.

[15:35] Rythan: it works :) [15:36] Mamarok: Heh ... that is a point lol [15:37] bobbob1016: you need to install all nepomuk and all strigi packages, and the sporano backend [15:37] then on restarting KDE it should work, else enable Strigi again in the systemsettings === Dayla-shower is now known as Dayla [15:40] Mamarok: And what is the front-end for Strigi?

I guess it hasn't started ever then, not sure why though. [15:45] I enabled it a while ago, and have restarted since, but it doesn't start. Could it be that google desktop is running too? [15:46] bobbob1016: well, did you install that? Didn't know there was a Google Desktop for KDE4 [15:47] It isn't "for kde", it's "for linux" but yeah, there is one. [15:48] I installed the other things, but it doesn't have sporano [15:48] bobbob1016: wiat, it's a library [15:49] bobbob1016: install soprano-deamon, it should dragg also libsoprano4 [15:50] Mamarok: Already installed [15:53] bobbob1016: there was a java-related error at some point, let me see [15:55] bobbob1016: check this: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/strigi/+bug/309626/comments/19 [15:57] Mamarok: I'm running 64bit, that command says to add i386 something or other, should I still do that? [16:01] bobbob1016: well, just modify that part to your java version, worked for me [16:02] bobbob1016: it's just a symlink to add [16:03] Which java gave me "/usr/bin/java" so I can use that I guess?

[21:38] elitrou: for scsi. (yeah don't mind understanding.)
