Im seeing nothing but server messages. [03:56] asdfghjk, uninstall the the driver you downloaded from nvidia before you install the default kubuntu driver (prolly the nvidia-glx-180) , depending on your card. [03:57] asdfghjk, are you at a tty prompt ? [03:58] im in windows on my laptop, i cant even get kubuntu to boot now, have reintalled about 5 times today [03:58] asdfghjk, live cd ? [03:59] do you mean to say uninstall the default before installing the downloaded? [03:59] yes [03:59] which package adds "Keyboard & Mouse" to systemsettings? [03:59] without a full KDE desktop i only have "Multimedia" in that category [04:00] asdfghjk, no uninstall the dl'd driver if it's installed , if you can dod that from the tty prompt or live cd [04:00] dod=do [04:01] pm BlueKag pls to avoid the distractions of other conversations [04:01] Hey guys, anyone got any ideas on getting Avahi working properly in 9.04? [04:01] HollowPoint: what's not working about it? [04:01] asdfghjk, most likely the live cd since I don't think you have a completed install [04:02] not a complete install? [04:02] were you using kubuntu at all previous to this problem ? [04:02] it was upgraded from 810 [04:02] ok [04:03] ToHellWithGA: Well I work in a mostly mac environment, but I hate Macs, I need to use iChat/Bonjour in order to communicate with the other members of staff, I get no buddies showing up in Pidgin, Kopete, Empathy or for that matter any other chat client I try to use with Bonjour, the avahi-browse .... etc shows no buddies and avahi-discover shows nothing either [04:03] how would i tell if it is complete? [04:03] so you're familiar with the command line then [04:04] BluesKaj: Was that question/statement aimed at me? [04:04] little bit enough to install th driver. but not much more [04:04] sorry HollowPoint , no [04:04] np [04:05] HollowPoint, try konversation if you want irc , amsn if you wany IM [04:05] I'm in IRC, I use aMSN for MSN, but I NEED to be able to use the Bonjour/LinkLocal protocol to communicate with other staff members on campus [04:05] that's a bummer, man [04:06] how do i go about removing the driver that is causing the prob without reinstalling? [04:07] I should explain here I'm a 3rd line IT engineer specialising in Unix/AIX based systems and Cisco Networking, unfortunately for me I've never previously needed to have much to do with IM services, now I desperately want to shed the mac book I have sat next to me, now ONLY used for iChat and I can't get Avahi to work, from googling it seems there are issues with it and IPv6 as well in Jaunty [04:07] asdfghjk, do you recall the driver number , like 180 or some such ? [04:08] asdfghjk: are you having a problem with an NVIDIA driver? [04:08] one was 180 something, the latest was 185.18.29 [04:08] what's wrong with macs? [04:08] both had the same problem [04:08] I just don't like them, I get angry when I can't modify things like I can in Linux/Other Unix based systems [04:09] yeah , that's the latest version of the 180 driver for most nvidia cards [04:09] asdfghjk: there are instructions available through a quick google search on "how to completely remove nvidia driver linux" [04:09] i have 2 260 in sli [04:09] sorry HollowPoint , Iknow very little about what you are trying to do [04:10] np BluesKaj me either [04:10] i run all kinds of stuff on my macbook [04:10] thanks hollowpoint [04:10] First time I've been in an entirely mac environment [04:10] what do you miss so much from linux? [04:10] I run all kinds on the mac book I have here, but I prefer my Linux laptop [04:10] running out of battery? [04:10] i am more interested in making them work than just eliminating them though [04:11] I miss things like Yakuake being available for terminal, I miss being able to actually use Bash with proper Bash commands, I HATE the fact that the Mach kernel is buggy, pathetically weak and doesn't error report properly, it's almost like working with MS [04:11] i really like running os x and trying to port linux things to it rather than dealing with its default set of stuff [04:11] i cant even watch movies wth the default driver [04:11] install macports and bash [04:11] there's your bash [04:11] asdfghjk, can you get to a TTY prompt by doing ctrl+alt+F2 on your linux machine ? [04:11] yeah except you still can't use the bash commands properly in MacOSX because OSX won't respond to the commands [04:11] Ill try now [04:11] asdfghjk: to get back ctrl+alt+f7 [04:12] brb [04:12] in case you want to come back to GUI land [04:12] don't think has a gui to get back to [04:12] assuming asdfghjk is using a GUI IRC client (: [04:12] what is asdfghjk actually trying to do? [04:12] cant even boot [04:12] oh lawdy [04:12] bummer [04:12] nevermind then [04:12] it freezes at check battery status [04:12] have you tried using the alternate installer CD? [04:13] in the startup [04:13] damm laptops [04:13] watch your language young man, this is a family place [04:13] try anyway , it might be far enuff into the boot sequence [04:13] it installs fine till i try to install a driver for nvidia [04:13] there's that recovery console option in grub [04:13] ok going now [04:13] brb [04:14] my first port of call would be alternate installer CD, next would be install 8.10, then upgrade to 9.04-Hybrid and it should keep things working through the upgrade process. Then install the NVIDIA drivers [04:14] ToHellWithGA, ...interesting youshould say that , with your nick :) [04:14] yes but my nick is a tradition and your frustration with laptops is just an expletive [04:15] it wasn't an expletive because he didn't spell it right ;) [04:15] it was the policy in other ubuntu channels to keep things as tame as possible [04:16] usually is here because we get kids, where are you from though ToHellWithGA if you consider that word expletive? [04:16] i haven't been around in several days though, i guess that may have changed [04:16] when [04:16] where isn't really a big deal [04:17] you're trying to tell me you're an older generation? [04:17] to hell with expletives :) [04:17] i'm from a time when people considered cursing just enough of a big deal that they saved it for when it actually meant something [04:17] not that much older [04:17] well, I'm 66 and cranky as hell so I have the right :) [04:18] back [04:18] i don't think IRC channels help anyone get less cranky [04:18] in tty [04:18] true [04:18] do i need to su? [04:19] asdfghjk, now what driver did you install exactly , do you recall ? [04:19] 186.18.29 [04:19] 185 [04:19] that's the proprietary driver you downloaded ? [04:19] yes [04:19] i wonder if he coudl get into x using VESA [04:20] s/dl/ld/ [04:20] most likely [04:20] it would make things go more smoothly with the exception of graphical eye-candy [04:20] the vesa driver is built into the Jaunty Kernel I believe, so would be worth a try [04:21] from a functional DE he could then installenvyng [04:21] i still need to install a driver that will at least let me watch movies [04:21] s/lle/ll e [04:21] you can do that from a lazy man's tool [04:21] unless you really love fighting with things [04:22] there's a package called envyng-qt which let's you pick your driver [04:22] s/let's/lets [04:22] it is bedtime for me [04:22] too many typos in too little time [04:22] y'all have a good night [04:22] i allready tried 2 drivers [04:23] ok asdfghjk , sudo aptitude remove nvidia-glx-185 , dunno if this is correct driver but try anyway [04:23] 2 drivers that the tool picked for you by detecting your hardware? [04:23] picking one is not a prob, its getting them to work [04:23] or 2 that you arbitrarily picked [04:23] if you want to do it the cowboy way instead of the easy way i'm sure you'll learn a lot more === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [04:24] i had great luck with envyng-gtk getting 3d acceleration on my grandmother's pentium ii laptop with an old ATI card [04:24] \the first was ver 180 something that the device manager in kubuntu found by itself and offered to install [04:25] i'm not saying it's foolproof, but if it can figure out such old, dull junk it can probably handle the recent stuff as well [04:25] peace out [04:25] the second is the one the nvidia website says is correct for my cards [04:25] asdfghjk, we need to know your nvidia card model to find the correct default driver to install from the repos , lspci | grep -i vga [04:25] I set up a framebuffer console via vesafb, but when I try to use it together with splash then it won't work: I get a splashscreen but when I switch to a console I get a blackscreen... [04:25] evga geforce gtx 260 [04:26] i have the right drivers [04:27] it might make a difference that have the 64 bit ver of kubuntu [04:28] the file that i have from nvidia i [04:29] is " NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.29-pkg2.run [04:30] " [04:30] asdfghjk, sometimes the nvidia driver don't work with updated versions of the OS due to the kernel modules taking over from X === ubuntu is now known as zman === zman is now known as dude6 [04:31] hello [04:31] but i also tried the older one that kubuntu downloaded automatically and offered to install [04:31] suposedly checked and approved [04:32] afk 1 min [04:32] <_gtt_> anyone using arora? [04:33] back [04:34] i guess no one else has had a similiar problem === roger_ is now known as MrSmurfing [04:36] is there anything else (other driver) i can try, the default driver cant display a dvd at anything much bigger than postage stamp size smoothly. [04:40] asdfghjk, if you installed the DL'd driver first , it has to be removed before the default driver will work [04:41] the first install becomes the default [04:41] i had the default driver first [04:42] did you remove it before installing the DL'd one ? [04:42] Hallo [04:42] then kubunto offered to install a tested and approved nvidia driver [04:42] Anyone knows what nvidia did to mess up X ? [04:42] it locked up on start up so i reinstalled kubuntu [04:43] skreech, nothing ...X is practically depracated [04:43] asdfghjk: Full lockup? [04:43] no [04:43] BluesKaj: Deingrated is more like it [04:43] froze at checking battery status [04:43] well, not working or doing much [04:44] but crtl alt del worked [04:44] I'm Getting a can't find module type1 and can't find module freetyp [04:44] freetype [04:44] <--- tired, can't think anymore ...sacktime for me [04:44] sorry I couldn't help more , asdfghjk [04:45] thanks for trying to help [04:45] too late [04:45] hes gone [04:45] :-) [04:45] asdfghjk: What's the problem? [04:46] when i try to install a nvidia driver then reboot the reboot stops a checking battery status [OK] [04:47] and doesnt continue [04:47] asdfghjk: can you get to a VT ? [04:48] im new at this is VT command line? [04:48] asdfghjk: where are you now? [04:48] im in mexico if that is what you mean [04:48] asdfghjk: I meant are you on Linux or a Live CD or Windows? [04:49] or im on my laptop in windows if that is [04:49] asdfghjk: ok Hmm ok too hard to explain then [04:49] laptop has hd too small to dual boot [04:50] Oh? [04:50] how big? [04:50] about 300g [04:50] * skreech chuckles [04:50] the prob is on mt desktop [04:50] 4 tB [04:51] asdfghjk: ah what's the problem over there? nvidia ? [04:51] yes [04:51] 2 gtx 260s in sli [04:52] and with the default kubuntu driver i cant even watch a dvd except in a really small size [04:52] ha [04:53] I take it you went to the nvidia site and got the driver from there? [04:53] first the one kubuntu offerd to install when it detected my cards [04:54] and when that one didnt work i went to th nvidia site and downloaded the latest, 2 days old now [04:55] it failed in the same way [04:56] asdfghjk: well I don't think it killed the whole process I think that it just stopped X updating. [04:57] yea i can get into command line [04:57] I don't have any GUI right now since the nvidia driver did something stupid but I can be in here to get (and give) help :) [04:57] asdfghjk: install irssi and pastebinit then [04:58] but i dont know how to get rid of it without reinstalling kub, no prob about 30 min [04:58] but i have reinstalled a lot of times today trying different things [04:59] and the fact remains that the default driver is not even close to good enough [05:00] asdfghjk: how to get rid of the nvidia driver? [05:00] do you suppose that the sli could be the problem? [05:01] asdfghjk: Possibly I couldn't tell you. I'm not a Video Card Hidh end fan [05:01] High [05:01] ive been doing that by reinstalling the operating sytem [05:01] asdfghjk: You can just type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [05:02] ive found that for me the second card doent make any noticable difference, ive considered just putting it in another computer [05:03] asdfghjk: a quick search of SLI and Jaunty should give you some answers [05:03] that will reinstall the default video driver? [05:04] just type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [05:05] yes [05:05] thanks that will be easier than reinstalling the os after each experiment [05:06] as i said before im pretty new at this [05:08] asdfghjk: You will learn more as you go at some point there is no error you can't recover from given tools another computer and a network [05:08] but if i cant get a better drivre working im just not going to be able to use kubuntu on my best machine [05:08] It may be way faster to reinstall sometimes :) [05:09] i do have 4 computers and a network [05:09] asdfghjk: well get the rubbish driver working and copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your home directory [05:09] then you can start to play around [05:10] If things break badly you can just copy it back to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart and you will be ok again [05:10] what will that do? [05:10] ok [05:10] what will what do? [05:11] i didnt read all of the message before talking [05:12] asdfghjk: almost all of UNIX settings are in a file so if you want to reset something you just move a file out. You want it back youmove it back again [05:12] ok thanks [05:12] ill be back in a min my wife calls [05:15] so you can get things ih vanRijn [05:15] urk [05:15] hi vanRijn [05:15] ok got to go [05:16] thanks for helping skreech [05:16] OK [05:16] bye [05:17] asdfghj is not much of a nick but it is really easy to type, i was in a hurry ill probably use something different when i come back [05:17] Ha ha :) [05:18] I was wondering about that [05:18] ill try to get back tomorrow if i see you i will say hi.

[11:14] "Trash has exceeded its maximum size".. wtf is that "feature"? [11:15] says so even after I remove stuff from trash manually.. [11:15] libervisco: you can fix the size of the Trash bin yourself, right click on the bin [11:15] libervisco: and you obviously are going to erase a file or a folder that is bigger than the default size [11:16] you can erase it bypassing the Trash with Ctrl+Del [11:16] libervisco: right click on the trash has the option to empty it [11:16] right, but I already emptied the trash.. and the files I want to put there aren't that big.. I just don't get the point of limiting trash size.. [11:17] the empty option is shaded [11:17] libervisco: because there is nothing inside [11:17] change the size of the bin then :) [11:17] right, but it was shaded anyway.. sometimes the trash icon doesn't update :S [11:17] or erase with Ctrl+Del [11:17] works for me in 4.2.98 [11:18] how to enable compiz in KDE?

[11:20] and also.. one of the files managed to get into trash now and I emptied it, but it shows full [11:20] and it does that sort of thing often :P [11:20] mataks: use teh Kwin compositing, it's pretty much the same as compiz [11:20] but that was always like that on Linux.. GNOME trash, KDE trash, they all do it [11:20] system settings -> Desktop -> deskto effects [11:21] libervisco: what KDE version do you have? [11:21] 4.3 rc3 [11:21] Mamarok, i don't know how to use it im just new to kde.. where can i find it? [11:21] Version 4.2.98 (KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3)) [11:21] libervisco: then something is wrong with your settings, the trash bin widget works fine here, always has btw [11:22] Hi all! [11:22] mataks: read what I said above [11:22] in the system settings [11:22] ah.. well widgets seem a little messed up here.. I can't enable newly installed widgets [11:23] and last night the weather forecast one mysteriously vanished [11:23] Mamarok, is this the one.. desktop effects? [11:23] libervisco: restarted KDE? [11:23] anyone can help me with mysql? [11:23] mataks: yes, read what I told you, you can set all the options there [11:23] Mamarok, I did before.. [11:24] after the upgrade [11:24] libervisco: how did you upgrade to RC3? going through all the previous updates or in one setp from 4.2.x? [11:24] I went through all of them.. I started with KDE 4.3 beta2 [11:24] libervisco: try moving your ~/.kde/ to ~/.kde_backup/ and restart KDE again [11:25] libervisco: you can then copy over the stuff you need form the old settings [11:25] ok [11:25] I don't mind setting it up from scratch anyway if it works :) [11:26] Mamarok, thanks.. brb [11:26] I would install mysql server 5.1 from dotdeb... but i can't because is in conflict with package mysql-server-core-5.0 [11:27] munny: why do you want another mysql version? [11:27] i still want to use compiz.. kwin is good but compiz is much better... how to use compiz in kde? [11:27] you can get it from the repositories too in Kubuntu 9.04 [11:28] mataks: that is more tricky, you need to disable Kwin, never did so, sorry [11:29] munny: in general you should avoid packages from third party sources if there is one in the repositories [11:29] mamarok: because i need to use some feauters in 5.1 like Event scheduler... i'm a developer... [11:29] munny: then take the 5.1 from the repositories, it is already there in 9.04 [11:30] munny: the package name is mysql-server-5.1 [11:31] Mamarok yes thank you... but it'not [11:31] munny: which Kubuntu version do you have? [11:31] Mamarok i would latest version [11:32] Mamarok: 9.04 with KDE 4.3RC3 [11:32] munny: then it is there, I see it in my repositories [11:32] munny: try sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 [11:34] Mamarok: i see in official repositories mysql 5.1.31 latest version is 5.1.36 [11:34] munny: and you absolutely need the latest one? [11:34] munny: then you need to compile it yourself [11:35] hi! [11:36] munny: to avoid a conflict with the 5.0 needed for Aknoadi, install it locally, this is much more suitable for development anyway [11:36] got a program that's wrapped in a bash script and needs a konsole to startup, can i hide that window somehow? [11:36] Mamarok i'm trying to install from official repositories but i've always problem with broken dependencies [11:37] Mamarok the problem is always mysql-server-core-5.0 [11:37] munny: did you read what I said above? [11:37] install it locally to avoid the conflict with the installed version [11:38] munny: you are a developer, no? so this should not be that difficult for you [11:39] Mamarok yes... but usually i would spent time to write software not to compile... if there's already a package i would use that [11:39] ;) [11:40] munny: well, resolving dependencies is easy for a dev IMHO, I can do that and I am not a developer [11:41] munny: and writing software without compiling, how do you test then? [11:41] Mamarok i don't know very well linux yet... [11:42] munny: it's easy to learn, there is always documentation coming with the source coed, in the readme and install files [11:42] code* [11:43] Mamarok if i must compile every time all software i use i can't do anything... i'm thinking to migrate to another distribution beacause i love kubuntu but i don't like versioning repositories [11:43] munny: I can install that package here, so it should work for you too [11:44] munny: what broken dependencies do you get from apt-get? Paste the output in http://paste.ubuntu.com and give the URL back [11:45] munny: usually you should make a chroot for development, so you install only what you need [11:45] munny: see also this: http://em.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot [11:46] this is done once, then you have a development environnement and can work without hassle, takes not more than 30 minutes *once* [11:49] Mamarok: this is the link [11:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/238899/ [11:50] apt-get has remove all my kde... [11:50] munny: I don't think so [11:51] Newly installed widgets still don't work [11:51] munny: I didn't tell you to proceed IIRC, just paste the dependecy output [11:51] munny: also read the link I gave you for chroot [11:51] Mamarok yes i'm reading...thank you... [11:53] ok, I have to run, cu later, folks [11:54] libervisco: do you have all kdebase-* installed? as well as all plasma packages? [11:54] Mamarok tank again ;) [11:54] munny: you are welcome :) [11:54] libervisco: sorry, I really have to go [11:54] ok.. thanks === andrea is now known as Guest77548 [12:15] ciao [12:17] !list [12:17] This is not a file sharing channel (or network).

[13:53] bazhang: I thought that I had installed 172 but either it autoupdated or something else happened. How do I set a resolution with the nvidia-settings tool ? [13:54] DaskreeCH, its a control panel with loads of options, the problem is only if that driver is not the correct one; let me websearch if it is correct or not [14:08] bazhang: Rebooted and X comes up properly now but I still can't set the resolution even though it's in the xorg.conf ? [14:08] bazhang: Using 173 now [14:09] DaskreeCH, that is the correct one [14:10] I remembered all the others (except 91 I think) giving problems. Any idea why the resolution is ignored? [14:10] Should I try the nvidia-config again ? [14:10] DaskreeCH, did you choose from hardware drivers, enable it and then reboot? (ie it was installed before reboot) [14:10] Yes [14:11] DaskreeCH, xorg.conf is pretty much empty these days; I would take a try with the nvidia-settings tool [14:12] V_v [14:12] HOw do I set resolution in there ? === tonii_ is now known as tonii [14:12] can anyone help me how to add a menu to grub2.0?
