| Alumin | So, I changed "Compositing type" from XRender to OpenGL under "System Settings -> Desktop Effects -> Advanced", and I get this error: Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values. Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type. | 00:07 |
| Alumin | (that last bit gave me a laugh :p) | 00:07 |
| Alumin | I'm using the KDE 4.2.2 packages that came with the distro (Kubuntu 9.04), as well as the default "radeon" driver that Kubuntu installed | 00:08 |
| cor | heh | 00:08 |
| tsimpson | you need the proprietary ATI driver for accelerated 3D | 00:08 |
| tsimpson | !ati | 00:08 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:08 |
| cor | it's unusual, at least in my experience, that OpenGL would fail, and Xrender work | 00:09 |
| Alumin | tsimpson: fglrx? | 00:09 |
| tsimpson | Alumin: yes | 00:09 |
| Alumin | hmm | 00:09 |
| tsimpson | OpenGL uses hardware, XRender uses software | 00:10 |
| Alumin | OK...the "desktop effect" I really wanted was real transparency, and that does work with XRender, so I may elect to not install it and forego the other effects...trying to run as "pure" of a system as possible | 00:10 |
| Alumin | but thanks for the info, it's good to know that that's the issue and not some kind of configuration b0rk :) | 00:10 |
| tsimpson | it's always a trade-off | 00:10 |
| tsimpson | freedom Vs functionality | 00:11 |
| tsimpson | (in hardware anyway) | 00:11 |
| Alumin | tsimpson: to the day when that's not true! *clink* :) | 00:11 |

| ign0ramus | thanks :) | 01:49 |
| Alumin | ign0ramus: I was | 01:52 |
| Alumin | well, not on my Kubuntu machine | 01:52 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, are you having any issues with it? (ie, back button not working, general breakage of other features)? | 01:52 |
| Alumin | on my Wintendo machine it did :) | 01:53 |
| === maximo_ is now known as Nasra | ||

| ign0ramus | ...at least not on startup. blank page every time. | 01:54 |
| Alumin | I have 3.0 and 3.5 installed side-by-side on this (Kubuntu) machine and they both seem to work fine except the Java package depends specifically against firefox-3.0 | 01:54 |
| === Palaskin is now known as Pliskin | ||
| Alumin | (otherwise I'd still be using 3.5) | 01:54 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, any idea how to revert? | 01:54 |
| Alumin | revert to what, 3.0? | 01:54 |
| ign0ramus | yah | 01:54 |
| Alumin | are you on Jaunty? | 01:54 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, yessir | 01:54 |
| Alumin | just install the "firefox-3.0" package (and remove the "firefox-3.5" package if you want) | 01:55 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, let me see. apparently "firefox" now means "firefox-3.5" | 01:55 |
| Alumin | % aptitude show firefox | grep ^Depends: | 01:56 |
| Alumin | Depends: firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-branding | 01:56 |
| Alumin | not on mine :) | 01:56 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, i wonder if the kde 4.3 repos brought this in... | 01:57 |
| Alumin | you can check that with "apt-cache policy firefox" | 01:57 |
| Alumin | see where it got your currently-installed "firefox" package from | 01:57 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, Aha! " 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages" | 01:58 |
| Dragnslcr | ign0ramus- sure you're on 9.04? I have the backports PPA, and "firefox" is still 3.0.13 | 01:58 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, positive. | 01:58 |
| Alumin | wtf is ppa heh | 01:58 |
| Dragnslcr | Personal Package Archive | 01:58 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, personal packa | 01:58 |
| ign0ramus | ^ yeah | 01:58 |
| Dragnslcr | They're used for stuff that isn't officially supported | 01:59 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, "apt-cache policy firefox" reports that line for firefox-3.5 | 01:59 |
| Alumin | oh...so each Ubuntu dev has a subdirectory? | 01:59 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, for 3.0.13, the line is: "500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages" | 01:59 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, check your sources list | 01:59 |
| Dragnslcr | Alumin- dunno if they all do, but they all could if they wanted | 02:00 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, can I safely remove that PPA and now officially have KDE 4.3? | 02:00 |
| Dragnslcr | If the only extra repository you have is backports for KDE 4.3, "firefox" should be 3.0.13 | 02:01 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, i also have "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" | 02:02 |
| === nick is now known as Guest80959 | ||
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, well, removing the two ppa's took care of the Shiretoko issue, and it didn't remove any kde base packages, so I think I'm in the clear here | 02:05 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, so I assume that KDE 4.3 is now in the supported repos? | 02:05 |
| milo__ | please hw can i change the desktop or screen resolution. Things are all big and i dn't like it | 02:06 |
| ign0ramus | milo__, in System Settings or using xrandr | 02:06 |
| milo__ | ignOramus: thanks; im there but i can't find the exact place :( | 02:10 |
| Dragnslcr | ign0ramus- no, 4.3 is still only in the backports PPA | 02:10 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, yeah, was reading... I am adding the backports PPA *only* (the one listed on the Kubuntu homepage) | 02:10 |
| Dragnslcr | I have the same PPA as you, so the problem must have been something else | 02:11 |
| Dragnslcr | Maybe just an outdated cache | 02:11 |
| milo__ | ignOramus: what am i supposed to do once i have typed xrandr? | 02:11 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, no, but I also had the "jaunty-updates" PPA, not just the backports PPA | 02:12 |
| ign0ramus | !resolution | milo__ | 02:12 |
| ubottu | milo__: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 02:12 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, err, I mean "http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages" - that was the repo pulling in Firefox 3.5 (Shiretoko) | 02:14 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, removing that but keeping the Backports seems to be my fix. Thanks. | 02:15 |
| ign0ramus | Alumin, thanks to you as well. | 02:15 |

| lu6cifer | I think I misclicked or something. Also, when I minimize applications, they don't show up on the panel | 06:00 |
| mostafa_ | add a clock manually to your system tray | 06:01 |
| mostafa_ | is it normal or abnormal? | 06:02 |
| lu6cifer | well, I right clicked the panel and added a clock through "add widgets" | 06:02 |
| lu6cifer | it was still oversized | 06:02 |
| mostafa_ | It happens for me some time but I think when I reboot my system It corrects | 06:04 |

| royaflash | hi | 07:39 |
| tsimpson | alexshenoy: see the topic | 07:45 |
| alexshenoy | tsimpson: i have 4.3 installed and upgraded from 4.2.4 but python-kde4 isnt 4.3 its 4.2.4 and im confused | 07:46 |
| alexshenoy | b/c i figured it would have been updated with all the other packages. so i figured maybe i did something wrong | 07:47 |
| alexshenoy | or the packages weren't in backports | 07:47 |
| tsimpson | the package python-kde4 should be in deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main | 07:50 |
| tsimpson | I can see it in the repo | 07:51 |
| alexshenoy | tsimpson: with version 4.3? | 07:54 |
| tsimpson | yes | 07:54 |
| alexshenoy | hurm | 07:54 |
| alexshenoy | okay. well then i did something wrong. or something is messed up | 07:54 |

| terrordrone | where is ubuntu channel ? | 07:55 |
| tsimpson | terrordrone: #ubuntu (where else) | 07:55 |
| terrordrone | thanks man | 07:56 |
| tsimpson | alexshenoy: see what "apt-cache policy python-kde4" says is available/installed (you can do it in the GUI, but it's quicker in konsole) | 07:56 |
| alexshenoy | okay it says 4.3 is available, but 4.2.4 is installed | 07:59 |
| alexshenoy | but when i do an upgrade it doesn't show up as an option | 07:59 |
| alexshenoy | or in package kit as either | 07:59 |
| tsimpson | it should, try with apt-get: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:00 |
| alexshenoy | okay. i just removed it and its dependencies and reinstalled and now it looks to be working | 08:00 |
| tsimpson | kpackagekit is a bit of a misery to me sometimes, and people thought adept was bad | 08:02 |
| alexshenoy | i prefer adept | 08:02 |
| alexshenoy | i find myself just using cli these days | 08:02 |
| tsimpson | adept was never completed, and the maintainer moved on a while ago. so we needed to find _something_ | 08:03 |
| maxiras | hi | 08:04 |
| alexshenoy | right. i just thing kpackagekit isn't complete yet | 08:05 |
| tsimpson | neither was adept | 08:05 |
| tsimpson | at first, adept was even worse | 08:05 |
| maxiras | Hello, Can I change room? | 08:06 |
| jussi01 | maxiras: just type: /join #nameofchannel | 08:07 |

| alexshenoy | tsimpson: okay the newest packages are installed but my root problem is still there. my python kde programs are not working. | 08:08 |
| alexshenoy | maybe its a qt issue | 08:08 |
| alexshenoy | yes it was | 08:09 |

| vistakiller | hi | 09:44 |
| vistakiller | i have problem with microblogging plasmoid | 09:44 |
| vistakiller | they dont show friend anymore | 09:44 |
| vistakiller | in kde 4.3 | 09:44 |
| sunonet | is anybody here using kde 4.3, I want to ask a question | 09:55 |
| vistakiller | i use kde 4.3 | 10:01 |
| vistakiller | sunonet | 10:01 |
| sunonet | oh, can you please verify this problem | 10:01 |
| sunonet | open up dolphin | 10:01 |
| vistakiller | ok | 10:01 |
| vistakiller | next? | 10:02 |
| sunonet | abuse the keyboard, like holding Ctrl+I (showing/hiding the filter bar) | 10:02 |
| sunonet | see if dolphin stops responding to keyboard input | 10:02 |
| tsimpson | that's more likely a Qt issue | 10:02 |
| sunonet | it's been bugging me since 4.2 | 10:02 |
| vistakiller | xm i can weite to the bar | 10:02 |
| sunonet | if it's not fixed, ok | 10:02 |
| tsimpson | sunonet: as I said, it's most likely an issue with Qt, which KDE is build on. have you reported the bug to KDE or launchpad? | 10:04 |
| sunonet | I haven't , because I'm not sure this problem can be reproduced. And I don't know how to report bugs, really. | 10:05 |
| tsimpson | !bug | 10:05 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 10:05 |
| Mamarok | but it would be better to report it to https://bugs.kde.org, as this is most likely a Qt problem | 10:06 |
| vistakiller | i have this bug with kde 4.3 | 10:06 |
| vistakiller | http://osdir.com/ml/kde-bugs-dist/2009-08/msg01103.html | 10:06 |
| vistakiller | i will report and to launchpad i think.. | 10:06 |
| tsimpson | reporting it to LP let's us get more info, then send upstream | 10:07 |
| tsimpson | besides, KDE are not responsible for Qt | 10:07 |
| Mamarok | tsimpson: well, I don't see bugs coming upstream that often, so reporting it upstream is much better, if it is a packaging issue, we send it downstream :) | 10:08 |
| tsimpson | Mamarok: all the more reason to report to LP first :) | 10:08 |
| Mamarok | and it's quite easy to do: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=dolphin (in this case, else replace the product name) | 10:08 |
| Mamarok | tsimpson: if you think so... If I weren't subscribed to the Amarok bugs in Launchpad, I would never ever see something coming upstream TBH | 10:09 |
| === morten_ is now known as Morten1971 | ||
| Mamarok | even if that has improved lately | 10:10 |
| tsimpson | Mamarok: I know we send reports upstream, as LP emails me about it :p | 10:10 |
| tsimpson | we could do better though, just man-power issues | 10:10 |
| Mamarok | yep, same on our side | 10:11 |

| combo | llutz: kk , thx | 11:30 |
| theadmin | combo: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose | 11:30 |
| tsimpson | !virtualization | 11:30 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 11:30 |
| theadmin | !kvm | 11:30 |
| ubottu | kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 11:30 |
| combo | theadmin: thx a lot, it's installing now :) | 11:31 |
| kroson | can anybody help me with my question? about the mobile phone? | 11:32 |
| kroson | its detected as mass storage device at ubuntu, but not in kubuntu | 11:32 |
| kroson | what may be the problem? | 11:32 |
| theadmin | kroson, you might need some plugin... | 11:33 |
| combo | theadmin: btw. is this VirtualBox a freeware version / ? :) | 11:33 |
| theadmin | combo, it's totally free to use. | 11:33 |
| combo | theadmin: cuz i heard that vmware is shareware ;/ | 11:33 |
| combo | theadmin: kk :) | 11:33 |

| mchk0123 | hi everybody | 11:38 |
| mchk0123 | i've got a stupid question about daemon and kde ... | 11:39 |
| theadmin | mchk0123, ask away | 11:39 |
| mchk0123 | is there any GUI for KDE to deal with Linux daemon startup | 11:39 |
| mchk0123 | I found no infos in Kubuntu website about it | 11:39 |
| mchk0123 | I mean, you know ftpd, nntpd, apache, autostart daemons | 11:40 |
| theadmin | mvhk0123, there was something. Somewhere in settings | 11:41 |
| mchk0123 | theadmin, ... you think under KDE Config Control Panels, there is something | 11:43 |
| theadmin | mvhk0123, there is something like that in system settings->Advanced->Service Manager. Is that it? | 11:43 |
| mchk0123 | not completly, this one deal only with KDE daemons, not pure Linux ones | 11:44 |
| theadmin | mchk0123, ah, got it... Then i don't know, sorry | 11:44 |
| mchk0123 | for example to restart apache I can type a command like /etc/init.d/apache restart | 11:44 |
| theadmin | Guess you can only do it via Konsole then | 11:45 |
| mchk0123 | really ?, ok ... | 11:45 |
| theadmin | maybe there is some GUI | 11:46 |
| theadmin | I'll try to google around | 11:46 |
| mchk0123 | all the way, a GUI is only a help, not a critical feature | 11:46 |
| mchk0123 | google -> I spend some time, find nothing for KDE | 11:47 |
| mchk0123 | but Gnome has something included in Yast | 11:47 |
| theadmin | ...it brings up Daemon Tools :D not anything even close. | 11:47 |
| mchk0123 | arg Deamon Tools, is a CDROM faker for Windows XP | 11:47 |
| theadmin | Yeah | 11:47 |
| mchk0123 | nevermind, to keep going on this problem | 11:48 |
| mchk0123 | *don't | 11:48 |
| mchk0123 | perhaps I will personnaly make a Qt/KDE GUI for this, I have some experience on it | 11:48 |
| mchk0123 | and it's doesn't seems to be too complicated | 11:49 |
| theadmin | yeah, technically, it's a press button->execute command in shell thing | 11:50 |
| mchk0123 | + scan & parse file to retreive configurated deamon list | 11:50 |
| mchk0123 | the must difficult part will be icon making ;-) | 11:51 |
| theadmin | =D why not making a text-only gui :D | 11:51 |
| mchk0123 | sure, a text-only gui, but in BW for handling all kind only Linux consoles | 11:52 |
| mchk0123 | ok, I stop | 11:52 |
| theadmin | whatever :D we've sorta went off topic, started talking about programing | 11:53 |
| mchk0123 | bye | 11:53 |

| homy | Which is the default/recommended program for looking at images? I messed up my file type associations and don't know which program normally opens jpg or png images (just for simple viewing when opening from dolphin). | 12:10 |
| homy | Is it gwenview or okular? | 12:11 |
| theadmin | GwenView by default. | 12:11 |
| homy | theadmin: ok, thanks! | 12:11 |
| homy | or even better: is there a way to reset all file type associations to kubuntus defaults? The "Defaults" and "Reset" buttons in the corresponding systemsettings module are greyed out. | 12:12 |
| theadmin | They are this way. You might want to enter admin mode or something, there is some button for this somewhere, i think. | 12:14 |
| theadmin | Hm | 12:14 |
| theadmin | No, that is not in KDE... There must be some way, right?... I dunno then | 12:14 |

| === nick is now known as Guest95440 | ||
| === Guest95440 is now known as nick4385 | ||
| theadmin | m0u5e why would you need that. Your desktop will then be empty, since everything on it are widgets. | 12:16 |
| m0u5e | i like my wallpaper? its kinda annoying that i see things in the background | 12:16 |
| theadmin | bsaser, just insert your boot CD when booting. Also, set CD as primary boot in bios (usually, you can access bios by pressing del, escape, f2 or something like that when booting) | 12:17 |
| homy | theadmin: even if I start systemsettings with "kdesudo systemsettings" the "Defaults" and "Reset" buttons are greyed out. | 12:17 |
| m0u5e | theadmin: so do you know of a way to do it? :) | 12:17 |
| Mamarok | m0u5e: then make another activity without widgets | 12:17 |
| theadmin | m0u5e, that is a good idea :D... but otherwise i dunno | 12:18 |
| Mamarok | and add the activity swithcher widget to the panel | 12:18 |
| Mamarok | -h | 12:18 |
| theadmin | Mamarok: -h? | 12:18 |
| Mamarok | theadmin: I made a typo :) | 12:19 |
| Mamarok | swithcher | 12:19 |
| homy | m0u5e: it is possible to have a different set of widgets on the dashboard and the desktop - this is probably what you want. | 12:19 |
| kroson | hi again | 12:20 |
| kroson | does ubuntu or kubuntu do kernel upgrades by default? | 12:20 |
| kroson | with update managers? | 12:20 |
| kroson | or just with dist-upgrade? | 12:20 |
| m0u5e | homy: well i want them all to be on my desktop, just not visible unless i toggle them | 12:20 |
| homy | m0u5e: to configure that, select zoom out in the cashew and then select "configure plasma" | 12:20 |
| homy | The you can zoom back in on your current activity. | 12:21 |
| homy | m0u5e: just put all your widgets on your dashboard then and leave your desktop empty, you'll have your desired behavior then. | 12:21 |
| m0u5e | homy: huh, i'll take a look at it... sorry im not too familiar with how activities work yet :( | 12:22 |
| homy | m0u5e: you don't need activies for that. | 12:22 |
| homy | m0u5e: Just click "zoom out" in the cashew. Then, at the top left, choose "Configure plasma" and select separate dashboard thingy. Then, zoom in by clicking the zoom in button in the bottom left of the desktop | 12:23 |
| m0u5e | homy: sorry i'm a little lost, so what I would like is for my widgets to be hidden unless "toggled" by a shortcut key, kinda like how the widgets come to the front when you press ctrl+f12 | 12:24 |
| m0u5e | homy: i don't see a "configure plasma" button on the top left? | 12:24 |
| homy | m0u5e: yeah, you just add all your widgets to the dashboard which will only be shown with ctrl-f12 and leave your desktop empty. | 12:24 |
| homy | m0u5e: did you zoom out using the cashew? | 12:24 |
| m0u5e | homy: OH, you're asking me to add it while zoomed out, and so it wont actually show up unless i hit ctrl+f12? | 12:25 |
| homy | m0u5e: yeah, first you have to configure that. To do that, you have to be zoomed out. | 12:26 |
| homy | So, select zoom out in the cashew and choose "configure plasma" | 12:26 |
| homy | then, choose "separate dashboard" | 12:26 |
| homy | then, zoom back in on your desktop using the zoom in button. | 12:27 |
| m0u5e | okay the only options i have while zoomed out are "add widgets" "add activity" "zoom in" zoom out" "plasma workplace" and "folder view settings" | 12:27 |
| homy | m0u5e: oh, do you still have kde 4.2? | 12:27 |
| m0u5e | no kde 4.3 :X | 12:27 |
| homy | m0u5e: I'll do a screenshot for you. | 12:27 |
| m0u5e | its kinda weird though, since i have it installed with gnome, not everything is working like it should... | 12:28 |
| theadmin | by the way, Kubuntu works incredibly slow when i zoom out. What could cause that. | 12:28 |
| m0u5e | theadmin: me too | 12:28 |
| m0u5e | homy: i'm probably going to do a fresh install in the near future, maybe ill try it again when i have a clean install :D | 12:28 |
| homy | m0u5e: http://imagebin.ca/view/OGR_4TY.html | 12:29 |
| kaddi | hi, is there anyone familiar with widgets and kubuntu who might help me? (I'm typing the question right now) | 12:30 |
| m0u5e | homy: yeah that thing doesnt appear for me :X | 12:30 |
| m0u5e | oh btw, is there a way to configure the kicker for an "icon" view? rather than an icon with the name of my running app? | 12:31 |
| homy | m0u5e: oh! maybe the keyboard shortcut "Alt-C" works for you? | 12:31 |
| m0u5e | homy it unfortunately does not :( | 12:31 |
| * Mamarok waits for kaddi's question | 12:32 | |
| homy | m0u5e: are you sure you have kde 4.3? | 12:32 |
| kaddi | I'm using the widget fancytasks and i would like to change the background, I wrote to the author who told me to modify fancytasks.svg by exporting the relevant item from inkscape, modify it in gimp and reimport it. I did that, and replaced the old fancytasks.svg with the modified one. I restarted the x-server but I still get the old background and not the modified one I wanted to use | 12:32 |
| kaddi | I am a total noob at graphics and at widgets, so I assume I missed a step somewhere, but I don't know which one | 12:33 |
| Mamarok | kaddi: where does fancytasks come from, kde-apps.org? I never heard of | 12:33 |
| m0u5e | yeah... i used the ppa from here http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu | 12:33 |
| kaddi | Mamarok kde-look.org | 12:33 |
| m0u5e | theres like a bunch of packages that kinda got messed up though, so i wouldn't be surprised if it's not a complete installation | 12:33 |
| Mamarok | kaddi: well, then you should check in the KDE techbase for more information, as these are third party applications. Or you ask the author again | 12:34 |
| Mamarok | http://techbase.kde.org | 12:34 |
| m0u5e | homy: like i said, i'm going to try a clean installation when i have more time :) | 12:34 |
| homy | hm I also used that ppa. | 12:34 |
| m0u5e | i'm finding i rather like 4.3 so far though, i tried kde back when it was 4.0... wasn't very happy and went back to gnome :( | 12:35 |
| m0u5e | homy: oh wait lulz, i have 63 packages that were held back... | 12:37 |
| m0u5e | homy: sudo aptitude full-upgrading now :( | 12:37 |
| theadmin | m0u5e, i've tried 3.5 first XD and was rather happy with it | 12:37 |
| Mamarok | m0u5e: 4.0 was never intended for users, it was a developer snapshot... | 12:37 |
| m0u5e | Mamarok: yeah, i read that after i already tried it... so i figured i'd wait a whiel and come back | 12:38 |
| homy | m0u5e: maybe it'll work then :) | 12:38 |
| m0u5e | i'm hoping :) | 12:39 |
| francisco_t | anybody use kubuntu kde4 with a non-english language?? | 12:39 |
| sebbar | hi, still no kde after installing kde 4.3, any suggestions? I already tried dpkg --configure -a | 12:40 |
| Mamarok | francisco_t: you might ask in the language channel then | 12:40 |
| Mamarok | francisco_t: what language in particular? | 12:40 |
| m0u5e | i really dont have a preference between gnome or kde really... whichever one is more stable and less bugs is the one i'll use... but lately, it seems things don't just work as i need them to | 12:40 |
| francisco_t | Mamarok: it's to confirm a bug with traslation | 12:40 |
| Mamarok | sebbar: are you sure you have all the packages, nothing held back? | 12:40 |
| m0u5e | (in gnome) | 12:40 |
| theadmin | sebbar, what do you mean? Have you used "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" or "sudo apt-get install kde"? | 12:40 |
| Mamarok | m0u5e: please stay on topic, support only here | 12:41 |
| m0u5e | Mamarok: sorry | 12:41 |
| m0u5e | so yeah, anyone know if there is a way to make the kicker show only app icons no names? | 12:41 |
| Mamarok | sebbar: are you still here? | 12:41 |
| sebbar | Mamarok: I just did a full upgrade as described on kubuntu.org | 12:42 |
| homy | m0u5e: do you mean the task manager widget? | 12:42 |
| homy | what is kicker? | 12:42 |
| Mamarok | sebbar: well, do you have packages held back or not? | 12:42 |
| m0u5e | homy: the panel? | 12:42 |
| sebbar | Mamarok: nope | 12:43 |
| Mamarok | m0u5e: no, kicker is the menu, not thze panel | 12:43 |
| m0u5e | Mamarok: oh, okay. the panel then :X | 12:43 |
| homy | Mamarok: isn't the menu kickoff? | 12:43 |

| Walzmyn | how do ya add apps to the quicklauncher? it's different than it was in 3.5 | 13:16 |
| kaddour | chaque | 13:16 |
| shadeslayer | Walzmyn: you mean to the taskbar at the bottom? | 13:17 |
| kaddour | est sais vraimon extra | 13:17 |
| Walzmyn | no, I specifically added the quicklauncher plasmoid | 13:17 |
| Walzmyn | shadeslayer: it's on a panel, but t's the plasmoid | 13:17 |
| shadeslayer | Walzmyn: hold one sec | 13:18 |
| Walzmyn | shadeslayer: if you right click, you get an "add icon" option, but it just takes you to a file chooser dialog, not the menu to pick an ap like it used to | 13:18 |
| Walzmyn | /s/ap/app | 13:18 |
| shadeslayer | Walzmyn: Walzmyn you can add the app via going to /usr/bin | 13:19 |
| Walzmyn | shadeslayer: what do i do there? | 13:19 |
| shadeslayer | Walzmyn: select the name of the app you want to launch | 13:19 |
| homy | shadeslayer: just drag an application from the k-menu to the quickaccess plasmoid | 13:20 |
| shadeslayer | homy: i think you mean Walzmyn | 13:21 |
| homy | yes, I do. | 13:21 |
| Walzmyn | the dialog won't let you see anything other than .desktop files | 13:21 |
| homy | Walzmyn: : just drag an application from the k-menu to the quickaccess plasmoid | 13:21 |
| Walzmyn | aight, homy, that worked | 13:22 |
| juan_ | Hello How are you? | 13:22 |
| Walzmyn | that's a bit cumbersome though. I liked the old way where it pulled up the menu for ya | 13:22 |

| waltzingalong | Freddy2: follow the instructions on the ppa page? | 14:49 |
| Freddy2 | hmm let me search for them | 14:49 |
| waltzingalong | Freddy2: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.3 instructions there for adding gpg key | 14:49 |
| Freddy2 | i see.. on 4.2.4 page there were no instructions hehe | 14:50 |
| Freddy2 | thx | 14:50 |
| shadeslayer | TaMonKein: the link i posted above was for jaunty,replace ' jaunty ' in the ppa line with intrepid.... and then install kde-nightly | 14:51 |
| shadeslayer | TaMonKein: the nightly packages dont have alot of things like ktorrent etc , so you will have to compile them yourself | 14:52 |
| TaMonKein | shadeslayer: Okey, thanks. I do understand that much. | 14:52 |
| TaMonKein | Well i need just the desktop and maybe amarok nothing more. | 14:53 |
| TaMonKein | As i dont like the KDE 4.1 taskbar icons | 14:53 |
| shadeslayer | TaMonKein: for amarok,youll need amarok-nightly in the same repo | 14:53 |
| TaMonKein | ok | 14:54 |
| TaMonKein | Well anyway, not going to do it today as i have only gprs connection at the moment, but will add the repository. :) | 14:54 |

| Freddy2 | then you have to uninstall and edit manually "interfaces", again | 15:03 |
| waltzingalong | Freddy2: although with kde4.3 'knetworkmanager' should be used in place of the network manager plasmoid | 15:04 |
| Freddy2 | there it works fine? | 15:05 |

| rcm | does exist something like that for dolphin??? | 15:28 |
| Caliostro | BluesKaj, I've almost 20 keys wich work properly (player options, volume, browser navigation, etc.), but I need other 3 keys on my keyboard. They're very comfortable and accessible :) | 15:30 |
| BluesKaj | rcm, you can set konq up to act as a file manager in konqueror/settings/configure | 15:30 |
| Pliskin | BluesKaj : but the metabar is unusable, now, isn't it ? | 15:31 |
| rcm | yeah, I know that, but I do like dolphin, I'm just thinking if anyone made an application for do that in dolphin | 15:31 |
| serkamil | rcm, try find this option in system settings > file associations | 15:31 |

| vals_kubuntu | hello all. I'm not exactly a linux newbie, but I'm quite stymied by the kubuntu 9.04 install process. I'm trying to install the thing on this laptop, but as soon as the installer goes past the keyboard selection, right after the progress dialog about checking partitions and file system, nothing happens | 15:35 |
| Caliostro | Mb, someone have experience in assignign new keys in the kubuntu? I know keycodes of this buttons... | 15:35 |
| vals_kubuntu | this is the point where the partition manager should come up, I assume, but for some reason it does NOT come up. I can see the partman and parted_server running in the background, but the actual UI window that should come up does not appear. I can cancel the installation process, of course, but this is not exactly what I want to do | 15:36 |
| vals_kubuntu | so I googled around and I found a number of launchpad bugs that seem to apply to this version of the installer, most of them fixed for future releases. the question is: is there a way to upgrade THIS installer, or do I have to burn a new image to get the stupid thing to install? | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | which kubuntu version, vals_kubuntu? | 15:38 |

| Caliostro | BluesKaj, I've changed windows xp on kubuntu recently, so I need to set up all better than it was in windows for sure :) | 15:40 |
| tango_ | BluesKaj, yeah I know, don't worry about the overheat thing 8-) I'm more concerned about the install, honestly | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | I'm running 9.10 , and it's quite stable ..some plasma crashes which recover quickly | 15:41 |

| tango_ | waltzingalong, I think I managed to trigger the two or three bugs the partition manager had | 15:48 |
| waltzingalong | :D tango_ congratulations on that | 15:48 |
| tango_ | waltzingalong, the problems are not with the installer per se, actually, they are with partman & co | 15:48 |
| tango_ | waltzingalong, however, I expected a sudo aptitude update to provide new packages | 15:49 |
| tango_ | waltzingalong, and instead neither ubiquity nor partman were updated | 15:49 |
| Caliostro | waltzingalong, thx a lot!!! | 15:49 |
| waltzingalong | tango_: installing from the dvd? desktop cd? alternate cd? | 15:50 |
| tango_ | waltzingalong, desktop cd / amd64 | 15:50 |
| tango_ | waltzingalong, I should have known it would have been problematic given the OTHER bugs the cd had, on the live system | 15:51 |
| tango_ | waltzingalong, things such as kwalletd not being launched and thus knetworkmanager failing, or no way to find and mount nfs or smb | 15:51 |
| waltzingalong | tango_: as in the media has defects? or which problems while in the live session? | 15:51 |

| p_quarles | draik_: so you're not experiencing the problem currently, I take it; I would be interested to see the results of arp and traceroute google.com | 16:59 |

| draik_ | shadeslayer: How do I make it have a static IP? | 17:00 |
| p_quarles | draik_: I see; well, the arp table when it's disconnected would be interesting; traceroute would just timeout | 17:00 |
| p_quarles | draik_: a static ip wouldn't necessarily make sense until we've narrowed down the problem | 17:01 |

| shadeslayer | p_quarles: do you think it might be the network manager? | 17:02 |
| draik_ | I'm using Wicd. Should I use NetworkManager? | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: ah..thats what i was going to suggest :P | 17:02 |
| rav | hello. i'm considering upgrading hardy through adept. is this recommended? | 17:03 |
| shadeslayer | rav: from hardy to which release? | 17:03 |
| rav | shadeslayer: i'd like to go to intrepid, but i'm not sure to which release will adept upgrade | 17:03 |
| p_quarles | shadeslayer: it could be the machine, it could be the router, it could be the modem, or it could be the isp; hard to know with the information we have | 17:04 |
| draik_ | shadeslayer: What do I set for DNS 1-3 on the static IP? | 17:04 |
| p_quarles | draik_: I would hold off on that before we have more diagnostics | 17:04 |
| shadeslayer | rav: well a clean install is *the* best way for that kind of thing...but adept will do just fine | 17:04 |
| draik_ | p_quarles: I have a home server, netbook and 2 laptops that do not have issues with connecting and staying connected under the same conditions. | 17:05 |
| rav | shadeslayer: i'm concerned about things like my virtualbox machines. will they still work? | 17:05 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: dns would be the one on the modem...youll have to check that in the router settings | 17:05 |
| shadeslayer | rav: no idea...ive always done clean install | 17:06 |
| p_quarles | draik_: and they can all download flightgear, as well? | 17:06 |
| shadeslayer | *installs | 17:06 |
| draik_ | shadeslayer: I have no static DNS right now. They are all 0.0.0.0 | 17:06 |
| * odysseus brings timmies | 17:06 | |
| draik_ | p_quarles: Nope. No issue with the download and install. | 17:06 |
| p_quarles | rav: yes they should work, but you'll have to recompile the virtualbox kernel module because you'll have a new version | 17:06 |
| odysseus | hi all | 17:07 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: then put the same ones there | 17:07 |
| odysseus | i seem to have a problem signing in | 17:07 |
| p_quarles | draik_: and how are you downloading that? via synaptic, or from the site? | 17:07 |
| draik_ | shadeslayer: I never had any, but what would you advise? | 17:07 |
| odysseus | im being told invalid password | 17:07 |
| draik_ | p_quarles: command line | 17:07 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: i would say put 0.0.0.0 there | 17:07 |
| p_quarles | odysseus: signing in to freenode? | 17:07 |
| rav | p_quarles: will the upgrade do these things? like upgrading the nvidia kernel module and the virtualbox module? | 17:08 |
| p_quarles | rav: sometimes | 17:08 |
| shadeslayer | odysseus: contact #freenode | 17:08 |
| draik_ | shadeslayer: I did that to Wicd | 17:08 |
| p_quarles | draik_: okay, so via APT repositories, *some* packages randomly cause a disconnect? weird | 17:08 |
| shadeslayer | p_quarles: totally :) | 17:09 |
| rav | p_quarles: i'm assuming it will break my wifi, since i use ndiswrapper with hardy, and i did got the ath5k module working on intrepid a few months ago, and ndiswrapper didn't work on intrepid then | 17:09 |
| draik_ | p_quarles: Yup. upgrades and installs. Anything coming through there can fail. | 17:09 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: hold on... do you have wicd on the other machines as well? | 17:09 |
| draik_ | shadeslayer: Nope. Wicd on just the desktop | 17:10 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: the one having the problem | 17:10 |
| p_quarles | draik_: maybe you should run traceroute on the repository you use; might provide a clue (or it might not) | 17:10 |
| draik_ | p_quarles: OK. Let me give that a try | 17:11 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: i think wicd *is* the problem :P so try knetwork manager | 17:11 |
| rav | on a different topic, has anyone been able to change that horrible cursor theme on kde 4? | 17:11 |
| draik_ | shadeslayer: Yes. I only have one desktop which is the one I'm currently using for this IRC session. | 17:11 |
| p_quarles | shadeslayer: I'm incined to agree; if that's the sole thing that's different, probably try turning it off | 17:11 |
| shadeslayer | draik_: so try installing knetwork manager.... | 17:12 |
| draik_ | 3 lines for the traceroute output. Ok to paste? | 17:13 |
| Parfet | i'm having a problem with my internal broadcom 4306 wifi card, knetwork manager and lshw report it as 'disabled'... how do i fix that? | 17:13 |
| rav | Parfet: do you have a wifi switch? | 17:14 |
| draik_ | shadeslayer: Ok to paste the 3 lines here with my results of traceroute? | 17:14 |
| Parfet | switch? like a wifi router? | 17:15 |

| rav | Parfet: no, i mean an on/off switch. it happened to me that on an install, the card was turned off by default, even with the switch on. so i turned it off, then back on and checked 'dmesg | tail'. it said the card was on and it started working | 17:16 |

| martijn81 | Parfet: have you dist-upgraded your kde to 4.3? | 18:15 |
| martijn81 | this should also upgrade kpackagekit | 18:15 |

| M3rovingio | How is the kubuntu 9.04? | 20:00 |
| EagleScreen | Parfet: what happens now with your wifi? | 20:00 |
| Brhad56 | the kubuntu 9.04 is good | 20:01 |
| Parfet | it still doesn't attempt to connect to anything... | 20:01 |
| M3rovingio | i use the debian lenny 5.0.2... | 20:01 |
| Parfet | in fact, now it is gone from the tray manager | 20:01 |
| EagleScreen | but do you see the wireless networks in network-manager applet? | 20:01 |
| Brhad56 | Parfet: I fought and fought with wifi, only to findout that i was suppposed to be using the network-manger applet and not the knetworkmanger | 20:02 |
| Parfet | i have my usb belkin working, and it's signals, but now my broadcom has gone away completely | 20:02 |
| M3rovingio | ... but I will try installing it again to update on a lan-house, because I am without internet at home in linux ... | 20:04 |
| Brhad56 | Parfet: are you using the propriatary broadcom driver? | 20:04 |
| neoboy | hi! | 20:05 |
| EagleScreen | Parfet: i think you should use the b43 ndriver instead | 20:05 |
| Parfet | no propriatory drivers are found anymore... and it *was* using b43 a min ago, until you told me to turn it off ;p | 20:06 |
| EagleScreen | Parfet: "sudo modprobe -r wl" and "sudo modprobe b43", be sure that you have the firmware .fw files mentioned in dmesg | 20:06 |
| Brhad56 | I recommend the broadcom STA, because its what I got mine working with | 20:07 |
| Parfet | http://paste.ubuntu.com/250470/ | 20:10 |
| Parfet | it shows up again, but i can't see that it is working... | 20:11 |
| Parfet | do i need to unhook the usb line first? | 20:11 |
| EagleScreen | Parfet: check you have the .fw firmware files and unplug your usb to see if integrated can see the nets | 20:13 |
| Parfet | where do i find them? | 20:15 |

| alid | Hi. Can anybody please help me understand the sound system in kubuntu 9.04? | 23:41 |
| Sevis | Alid - which system exactly? Pulse, ALSA? | 23:42 |
| Novice | Sevis: 4.2.2 | 23:43 |
| Sevis | Novice, that's the same as me. | 23:43 |
| Sevis | But, I know your problem. | 23:43 |
| Sevis | You have a desktop widget spread out above your entire desktop, it seems. | 23:43 |
| alid | I think I have esound, Originally, I had pulse, but I had troubles with skype. I removed that and installed esound. Now I have a "master" slider and a "PCM" in Kmix, each acts separately. I don't understand the relationship between these two. | 23:43 |
| Novice | Sevis: no I ACCIDENTLY DELETED MY BOTTOM BAR | 23:44 |
| Sevis | Eh... As far as I understand: | 23:44 |
| Sevis | Novice: I know. And, in addition to that, you have a widget all over your desktop. A desktop widget. | 23:44 |
| Novice | Sevis: sry caps | 23:45 |
| Sevis | Alid: Master is volume, PCM is magnification. | 23:45 |
| Sevis | Novice: You can create files anywhere on the desktop, right? | 23:45 |
| Novice | Sevis: y would i have a widget all over my desktop? | 23:45 |
| alid | Sevis: Is there any way to sync these two together, such that when I push the button to decrease the volume on my laptop, both of them turn down together? | 23:46 |
| Sevis | Novice: Because it's convinient. Basically, it's like you've got a file browser open right over everything. | 23:46 |
| Sevis | Alid: That's not needed. Just set PCM to a convinient value and don't touch it, use Master. | 23:46 |
| Novice | Sevis: no clue fresh install just deleted my bar and need it back | 23:47 |
| Sevis | Is your desktop completely the same everywhere? Change the wallpaper if it isn't completely clear. | 23:47 |
| Sevis | Novice^ | 23:48 |
| alid | Sevis: Aha. And what about the system beep? It's terrible. I want to disable it, but I don't really know how. | 23:48 |
| sider | disconnect the cable | 23:48 |
| Sevis | Alid: Does it come from your speaker or from your tower? | 23:48 |
| Novice | Sevis: dont understand what your trying to say | 23:48 |
| alid | Sevis: I've got a laptop. I think all of the sounds come from the speaker. | 23:49 |
| Sevis | Novice: Set the wallpaper to a plain white, and then run 'touch ~/Desktop/test' | 23:49 |
| alid | Sevis: And by the way, the system beep volume can be adjusted by Master, regardless of whatever I have on PCM. | 23:50 |
| Sevis | Alid: O_o Does your PCM affect other sounds? Very high PCM should make it sound like there's a disturbance. | 23:51 |
| alid | Sevis: Master affects all sounds; PCM is just the standard sounds come out of the media players, etc. But sometimes the sound come out of some applications don't care about the level of PCM, and they just listen to Master degree (like system beep, and some embedded sounds within web pages) | 23:53 |
| Novice | Sevis: touch command not found | 23:54 |
| Sevis | Alid: Then my old advice stands - put PCM to a reasonable level (70% or so), and just adjust master when necessary. | 23:54 |
| Sevis | Novice: Erm. O.o One second. | 23:55 |
| Sevis | Novice: Has that computer got internet? | 23:55 |
| Novice | Sevis: yes | 23:56 |
| alid | Sevis: I wish I could. My hardware volume control panel on my laptop that controls turing the volum up, down and mute just work with PCM. How can I change it so that it adjusts Master? | 23:57 |
| alid | Sevis: I mean, when I try to turn the volume down using buttons on my laptop, it adjusts PCM, instead of Master. | 23:58 |
| Sevis | Novice: Can't find what package touch should be in, sorry. Use mkdir instead, please. | 23:58 |
| Sevis | Alid: Have you checked the shortcuts config? | 23:58 |
| alid | Sevis: No. What is that? | 23:58 |
| Sevis | Alid: Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Shortcuts | 23:59 |
