| cor | I'd help, noobstian, but I've set the scrollback to a rediculously low level and (so) I can't see what your original problem was. Could you rephrase it into a few words? | 00:01 |
| noobstian | hello, I just installed ubuntu jaunty for the first time on my compaq presario cq40 laptop, and i'm having some trouble, i'm only able to connect to thee wireless connection on gnome and theres no sound onthe computr, i just installed the kubuntu-desktop and now when i logged onto gnome theres an icon on the desktop that says home.desktop and i'm afraid to erase it | 00:01 |
| Zxcvb | can you install koffice 2.0.1 without installing kde 4.3? | 00:04 |
| cor | noobstian, in reality, hardware either works, and you get on with sh*t, or it doesn't and you do some WORK, getting it to work. Are you ready for that? | 00:04 |
| === greguniverse is now known as greg_universe | ||
| cor | as for the desktop file, delete that, if you really must. but ask yourself, "Do I really need to delete this file?" | 00:05 |
| noobstian | yes | 00:05 |
| noobstian | as in i want to make it work | 00:06 |
| cor | is that yes to the you beaing ready to WORK, read through manuals, learn shell commands and all that? | 00:06 |
| noobstian | yes | 00:06 |

| Zuz|GoPats | i keep getting firefox 3.5 updates everyday :( | 00:06 |
| cor | In your shoes, my first port of call would be google. Check to see if someone else has the *exact* same setup as you. There is a high chance of this. Use Google Linux. | 00:07 |
| Zxcvb | cor: yeah, getting a toshiba nb205 working was a pain | 00:07 |
| cor | but your pain can save someone elses!# | 00:07 |
| cor | many many people's | 00:07 |
| noobstian | ok im on google linux | 00:08 |
| cor | thank the lord for search engines! | 00:08 |
| noobstian | what am i looking for here | 00:08 |
| cor | just google your exact model number, and ubuntu | 00:08 |
| cor | then, if nothing looks good, try without the ubuntu | 00:08 |
| noobstian | for the modem or the laptop? | 00:09 |
| Zxcvb | cor: had to use the omnibook module and brute force the ectype option (ectype=12, finally) to get bluetooth working as well as enable wifi without windows (software killswitch problem) | 00:09 |
| Zuz|GoPats | noobstian: are you using kubuntu or ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| cor | then get specific, adding terms for your hardware, using the exact strings you see in dmesg | 00:09 |
| cor | ouch! | 00:09 |
| Zuz|GoPats | be back later | 00:09 |
| noobstian | i installed ubuntu then kubuntu desktop but now im on gnome | 00:09 |
| cor | My other laptop is flawless in all distros. It's cuz it's a cheap laptop, I guess, a lot of them around. Linux is always painless on it. On this thing. Pfff! | 00:10 |
| noobstian | i only got one result | 00:10 |
| noobstian | for a different model | 00:10 |
| noobstian | http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-78886-installing-ubuntu-linux-in-compaq-cq40-133tu | 00:10 |
| noobstian | the first four digitsof the model are the same tho | 00:10 |
| cor | Okay, better than nuffink. Check for relevant info. If not, you'll want to skip ubuntu references and just aim for your hardware on Linux. | 00:11 |
| BigBuzzard | im new to irc. how do i find and log on to other chats | 00:11 |
| cor | BigBuzzard, depends on the client | 00:11 |
| Zxcvb | cor: took a few days to figure out I needed the omnibook module (it worked for a different toshiba laptop, so I just guessed it might work, even though nobody had tried it on that system | 00:11 |
| cor | BigBuzzard, inside you home folder in .NameOfClient/logs is a good bet | 00:12 |
| Zxcvb | cor: I still haven't gotten sound working out of the speaker (headphones work, though) | 00:12 |
| Zxcvb | cor: the wiki still says the only way to get wifi to work is to enable it with ctrl-f8 in doze, though | 00:12 |
| cor | Everything we do, so long as it's documented somewhere, is worth it. Keep at it, dude! | 00:12 |
| Zxcvb | cor: any idea how you would edit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks/ToshibaNB205? | 00:13 |
| noobstian | cor: the rest of the results when taking ubntu out were just adds | 00:14 |
| cor | noobstian, Well, that's always a good place to start! It looks like you're going to have to get generic! | 00:15 |
| noobstian | ok... | 00:15 |
| cor | Zxcvb, dunno. I've not visited. I'll check it out. | 00:15 |
| noobstian | what should i look for now | 00:15 |
| cor | Looks like you need to be logged in to see edit controls | 00:16 |

| noobstian | no no, on the laptops speakers | 00:22 |
| cor | huh? | 00:22 |
| noobstian | i swear, it came with vista on it and it had sound | 00:23 |
| cor | sure, but this isn't Vista | 00:23 |

| noobstian | i have the same problem? | 00:34 |
| cor | pretty much, yeah. and don't worry about sounding foolish, I never let it stop me | 00:35 |
| cor | you'll also want to look at the three outputs he provided, and do the two you haven't yet done | 00:36 |
| noobstian | ok i just posted | 00:36 |
| cor | and in there, look for the exact model of your sound card so you can, in the meantime, get yours working | 00:36 |
| cor | inside the two output files, I mean. | 00:37 |
| noobstian | so do i type lsmod into the terminal? | 00:37 |
| cor | yup: sudo lsmod | 00:37 |
| cor | a couple of links for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 00:38 |

| noobstian | cor http://kubuntu.pastebin.ca/1530030 | 00:39 |
| noobstian | just asked in there | 00:42 |
| EagleScreen | is there in repository any web development application? something similar to Frontpage? | 00:43 |
| cor | woah! another list! I see sound modules loaded, so it must have picked up your sound card. Is it not listed in the system preferences? I can't be specific cuz I don't know gnome | 00:45 |
| cor | EagleScreen, yes, a few. | 00:45 |
| cor | a "wysiwyg" editor | 00:45 |
| noobstian | on my system preferences? | 00:45 |
| noobstian | hold on | 00:46 |
| cor | I dunno what Gnome calls it, in KDE it would be system settings | 00:46 |
| noobstian | default mixer tracks | 00:46 |
| noobstian | and there's a dropdown list | 00:46 |
| cor | EagleScreen, do a search in your package manager. I can't recommend one or another, but I know there's a few | 00:46 |
| noobstian | on the devices | 00:47 |
| cor | noobstian, I'd mess around in there for a while before recompiling drivers | 00:47 |
| noobstian | like pick different options of everything and ttest for sound? | 00:47 |
| eitreach | Hello. I have problems with sound in flash movies, running Ubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.3. Is there a common solution to this? | 00:48 |
| cor | yeah, switch everything! try different players, that sorta thing. | 00:48 |
| wirechief | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting <<< thats a good link for checking out your sound | 00:49 |
| eitreach | I wouldn't know what to look for. It works fine in Gnome, and Amarok works fine as well. | 00:49 |
| noobstian | cor: none of them work | 00:52 |
| cor | eitreach, is that flv files? | 00:52 |
| noobstian | pulseaudio, alsa, oss, etc | 00:52 |

| Adys | Hi all. I tried to update my nvidia drivers to 190.x but didn't do it cleanly... now after hours of messing with command line, I finally got back to kdm | 07:01 |
| Adys | problem is, kdm logs in fine, but it just "stays still" at the blue default wallpaper, nothing else starts | 07:02 |
| Adys | any hint what could be causing it? | 07:02 |
| mrh0057__ | Look at /var/log/Xorg.log.0 and see if there are any error messages | 07:03 |
| Adys | I dont think ive seen any last time lemme check again | 07:03 |
| mrh0057__ | The file is /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:04 |
| Adys | http://pastebin.com/m66a27218 | 07:05 |
| Adys | full file | 07:05 |
| Adys | xorg.conf is the one generated by nvidia's installer | 07:05 |
| Adys | (i downgraded back to 185.18.30) | 07:05 |
| mrh0057__ | look at ~/.xsession-errors to | 07:09 |
| Adys | checking | 07:09 |
| Adys | nothing special, just Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default. | 07:10 |
| Adys | I don't think its xorg | 07:10 |
| Adys | but I don't know what else | 07:10 |
| mrh0057__ | .kde may have been corrupted | 07:10 |
| Adys | i rm -rf'd it | 07:11 |
| Adys | .kderc too | 07:11 |
| Adys | Any idea what could reset whatever it is kdm is supposed to start? | 07:13 |
| mrh0057__ | no I never tried to reset kdm before | 07:14 |
| mrh0057__ | You can try to restart it and if that doesn't work you can try restarting the machine | 07:16 |
| Adys | i restarted it like 10 times | 07:16 |
| mrh0057__ | have you tried logging in as a different user? | 07:16 |
| Adys | hmm no actually | 07:16 |
| Adys | good idea | 07:16 |
| Adys | same results | 07:18 |
| Adys | grr | 07:18 |
| theadmin | Menu editor acts weirdly. I add some stuff, then it goes all "Upgrading system configuration", and it keeps doing this forever. (it resets when reaches 100%) | 07:19 |
| mrh0057__ | Adys I don't know what else it could be unless there is a permission error | 07:20 |
| Adys | ran a chown -r on ~ | 07:20 |
| mrh0057__ | Did you create a new user account and try to login | 07:21 |
| Adys | yes just now, same result | 07:21 |
| Adys | however the temp user definitely gets logged in from kdm | 07:21 |
| Adys | it just doesnt start anything like the other | 07:21 |
| mrh0057__ | yeah it will just be the defaults | 07:21 |
| Adys | yep but this must be system-wide then | 07:22 |
| Adys | isnt there some sort of system daemon manager in kde? | 07:22 |
| Adys | i remember messing with that a while ago | 07:22 |
| mrh0057__ | kwin is the new manager | 07:22 |
| Adys | I mean a system-wide service editor | 07:23 |
| mrh0057__ | the /etc/init.d/kdm is the dameon | 07:23 |
| Adys | ya but i thought there was a services manager | 07:23 |
| mrh0057__ | I don't know if there is a default one but you can use sysv-rc-conf | 07:24 |
| Adys | ah great | 07:26 |
| mrh0057__ | Do you have any unreachable nfs mounted | 07:26 |

| theadmin | *Could not iterate IDE devices: No such file or directory | 07:56 |
| mostafa | what should I do then? I think it is because of RAID system but I don't want it and I don't know how to remove it | 07:56 |
| mrh0057__ | theadmin - it means your computer acpi system probably not supported to shutdown the computer | 07:57 |
| mostafa | how could I understand it supports or not? | 07:58 |
| mrh0057__ | theadmin - I mean power off. All the services will shutdown | 07:58 |
| theadmin | uh wha? No, it shuts down normally. | 07:58 |
| theadmin | Except this error | 07:59 |
| mrh0057__ | mostafa - I don't have much experience with software raids | 07:59 |
| mrh0057__ | theadmin - could be an error with udev | 08:00 |
| mrh0057__ | theadmin- are you using any ide drives? | 08:00 |
| mostafa | mrh0057__: I think it is the cause of that :D | 08:00 |
| theadmin | mrh0057_, i have NO idea what those are | 08:01 |
| theadmin | uh | 08:02 |
| theadmin | Something's wrong with firefox | 08:02 |
| theadmin | All my bookmarks have dissappeared. And also, it does not show anything in address bar when i open any page | 08:02 |
| mrh0057__ | mostafa: do a search on google. There should be a log somewhere for the software raid | 08:03 |
| theadmin | And it opens mozilla.org, even though google.com is my homepage. | 08:03 |
| zoiss | hey guys. i have still trouble with my startup mixer settings. the master volume is set to the desired value first (like alsactl restore) but after some seconds it switches to 0. kmix is set to NOT load startup values so there has to be another proc that is changing the mixer settings. does anyone have any ideas? | 08:03 |
| theadmin | guess i'll reboot. Will most likely solve it, firefox acts weird sometimes. | 08:04 |
| theadmin | What's wrong with the forums? | 08:17 |
| theadmin | Sigh. I have a problem and nobody can help me... is there a firefox support channel or something? Cause it's serious. | 08:26 |
| theadmin | Never mind :D found it. | 08:27 |

| mostafa | oliveraa1ango: do you have graphical environment? | 09:15 |
| user_ | Linux shows them as file systems not hardrives (dev or sha i think) | 09:16 |
| oliveraa1ango | i think ... irssi | 09:16 |
| rysh | shanali4: what you mean with "open my computer" ... what you want to do ? ... | 09:16 |
| rysh | you can see the files in Dolphin / konqueror ... this is like Explorer | 09:16 |

| rysh | oliveraa1ango: xchat is a GUI program... | 09:17 |
| mostafa | oliveraa1ango: yes it is | 09:17 |

| oliveraa1ango | i see... am i in wrong environment? but it should be compatible even im ubuntu ... | 09:18 |
| oliveraa1ango | how can i open XChat? | 09:19 |
| rysh | oliveraa1ango: what you want to do with linux ? | 09:19 |
| rysh | oliveraa1ango: browse the web ? | 09:19 |
| rysh | then better not install ubuntu-server | 09:19 |
| oliveraa1ango | just a beginner to this ubuntu ... | 09:19 |
| rysh | but install Kubuntu .... or if you want to use Gnome ... Ubuntu | 09:19 |
| oliveraa1ango | thinkin this will give me an advantage use for a small startup biz | 09:20 |
| rysh | last time i installed ubuntu-server it did not install a graphical user interface ... | 09:20 |
| rysh | so you have a black screen and need to type commands | 09:21 |
| oliveraa1ango | am i experiencing the same you had? | 09:21 |
| oliveraa1ango | yap ... all like a DOS env | 09:21 |
| oliveraa1ango | welcome back shanali | 09:21 |
| user_ | good thing about ubuntu (variants) is th hard to grasp (unlike plain command line interfaces) so when switching from winblows it doesnt take long to get used to it :)e gui's arent | 09:21 |
| oliveraa1ango | mostafa ... are you around? thanks for some inputs earlier | 09:21 |
| oliveraa1ango | hi user? | 09:22 |
| oliveraa1ango | i think under ubuntu ... i can switch between window by using Alt command | 09:22 |
| oliveraa1ango | can sudo will do? | 09:23 |
| rysh | oliveraa1ango: ... you have several options ... you can try to log in to another virtual terminal ... like CTRL ALT F2 .. .and log in there with your user name ... and do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 09:23 |
| oliveraa1ango | you mean, i can install virtual terminal in ubuntu server envt? | 09:24 |
| rysh | Hmmm seems CTRL not really needed ... only needed when you want to escape X | 09:24 |
| rysh | Yes ... | 09:24 |
| oliveraa1ango | let me try ... ALT F2 or CTRL ALT F2? | 09:24 |
| rysh | both will work i think ... | 09:25 |
| oliveraa1ango | hold on ... will try ... hope i can return to this ... | 09:25 |
| rysh | You can go back ... using F1 | 09:25 |
| rysh | meaning ALT F1 | 09:25 |
| oliveraa1ango | wuah ... almost lost ... lucky with ALT F1 | 09:26 |
| oliveraa1ango | hahahahahaha... | 09:26 |
| oliveraa1ango | need GPS in this Ubuntu env .. | 09:26 |
| rysh | But you see it works ? | 09:26 |
| oliveraa1ango | learning new things .... | 09:26 |
| rysh | ALT F2 will give you another login prompt | 09:27 |
| oliveraa1ango | yap ... ALT F1 will bring you back in this window | 09:27 |
| oliveraa1ango | yap rysh ... | 09:27 |
| rysh | so you have 6 of them | 09:27 |
| oliveraa1ango | what was it again for virtual terminal? | 09:27 |
| rysh | try login on on TT2 ... ALT F2 | 09:28 |
| rysh | TTY2 | 09:28 |
| rysh | :-) | 09:28 |
| oliveraa1ango | then what will be the scenario? | 09:28 |
| oliveraa1ango | command not found at TTY | 09:28 |
| rysh | type this command: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 09:29 |
| oliveraa1ango | let me try ubuntu desktop ... | 09:29 |
| rysh | oliveraa1ango: i am not really sure this will work, but you can try ... another option is download an desktop edition of (k)ubuntu and start over again and install that fresh | 09:30 |
| oliveraa1ango | yap ... downloading but it takes about 51 mins | 09:30 |
| oliveraa1ango | left it still downloading | 09:30 |
| rysh | yeah :-) ... a lot of packages :-) | 09:31 |
| oliveraa1ango | will a desktop can run in server env? | 09:31 |
| oliveraa1ango | any idea? | 09:31 |
| oliveraa1ango | hope it will work fine and not mess up this server | 09:31 |
| rysh | Yes ... servers are daemon programs ... | 09:31 |
| oliveraa1ango | what do you mean? | 09:31 |
| rysh | these also work on a desktop machine | 09:31 |
| rysh | a desktop machine only also has a GUI ... | 09:32 |
| oliveraa1ango | do i understd it as ubuntu desktop will work under ubuntu server envt? | 09:32 |
| rysh | ubuntu-server is ubuntu without the graphical user interface | 09:33 |
| oliveraa1ango | still a lot of pkgs to download and install | 09:33 |
| oliveraa1ango | yap ... thought ubuntu server has gui | 09:33 |
| oliveraa1ango | only desktop has gui like windows xp or vista | 09:33 |
| oliveraa1ango | hi ethercrow | 09:33 |
| rysh | most times a server only needs to serve ... no need to have a gui on such a machine | 09:34 |
| oliveraa1ango | rysh...where are you located? | 09:34 |
| rysh | HK | 09:34 |
| oliveraa1ango | i see...im here in SG | 09:34 |
| rysh | Aha not to far away | 09:34 |
| oliveraa1ango | how to check what IRC im using at this moment? | 09:35 |
| rysh | seems i can use a command to ask you program to identify itself :-) | 09:35 |
| oliveraa1ango | now only ALT key is working ... | 09:35 |
| rysh | No problem i think ///// you mean ALT F2 ? | 09:36 |
| oliveraa1ango | welcome back client1 | 09:36 |
| oliveraa1ango | welcome egidio | 09:37 |
| oliveraa1ango | welcome awidegreen | 09:37 |
| oliveraa1ango | rysh ... what program or command is it? | 09:37 |
| rysh | oliveraa1ango: you use irssi v0.8.12 | 09:38 |
| oliveraa1ango | installed irssi already ... | 09:39 |
| rysh | yes you are useing that now | 09:39 |
| oliveraa1ango | like to know to verify what irc im currently using now | 09:39 |
| oliveraa1ango | how to check? | 09:40 |
| rysh | irssi is the program you use to get on irc | 09:40 |
| oliveraa1ango | ok ... any command to verify this and its version? | 09:40 |
| rysh | it's version 0.8.12 | 09:40 |
| rysh | oliveraa1ango: i am not very familiar with this program so i am not suer how to chack from within irssi | 09:41 |
| oliveraa1ango | yes ... i got it now | 09:43 |
| oliveraa1ango | im using irssi | 09:43 |
| rysh | i myself use Quassel in KDE 4.3 on Kubuntu :-) | 09:43 |
| oliveraa1ango | i will need a lot of time to learn more about this ubuntu envt | 09:45 |
| oliveraa1ango | it's like DOS envt before | 09:46 |
| oliveraa1ango | fast response but not friendly ... back in 1980s | 09:46 |
| rysh | oliveraa1ango: the beginning is the hardest ... after that it will get easier and easier ... | 09:46 |
| oliveraa1ango | yap... | 09:46 |
| oliveraa1ango | my worry is the desktop im dwnldg now...hope it will not corrupt this svr setup | 09:47 |
| rysh | when you have a graphical user interface ... seems you are choosing for GNOME, then it will be maybe easier for you to manage | 09:47 |
| oliveraa1ango | GNOME? | 09:47 |
| rysh | ubuntu is based on gnome ... kubuntu is based on KDE | 09:48 |
| oliveraa1ango | i see... | 09:48 |
| rysh | so you said you instaleld ubuntu-desktop | 09:48 |
| rysh | and not kubuntu-desktop | 09:48 |
| oliveraa1ango | dwnldg ubuntu-desktop at this moment ... still will take minutes | 09:49 |
| rysh | SO if you have later questions about GNOME ... you better ask them in #ubuntu ... and not here :-) | 09:49 |
| oliveraa1ango | yap ... rysh ... ill look for the ubuntu channel / room | 09:50 |
| rysh | OK | 09:50 |
| oliveraa1ango | how is HK now? | 09:50 |
| oliveraa1ango | where in HK are you stayg? | 09:50 |
| rysh | i'm on hk island | 09:50 |
| oliveraa1ango | but this #kubuntu channel is under server Ubuntu2 that shows in this IRC | 09:51 |
| oliveraa1ango | new territories? | 09:51 |
| rysh | No ..... HK island | 09:51 |
| oliveraa1ango | ah ok .... | 09:52 |
| rysh | hope for you this will work :-) | 09:52 |
| oliveraa1ango | crossing fingers | 09:53 |
| oliveraa1ango | what do you do there in HK, rysh? | 09:54 |
| oliveraa1ango | how long do you use Kubuntu? | 09:54 |
| rysh | btw you also can switch to other virt terminals using ALT left or right arrow keys | 09:54 |

| sluo-bj | I'm looking for driver for PCMICA card | 11:12 |
| * shadeslayer checks out the new Karmic alpha 4 release | 11:12 | |
| shadeslayer | sluo-bj: does lspci show the card? | 11:13 |
| sluo-bj | It seems not. | 11:15 |
| shadeslayer | sluo-bj: hmm,then you need to find the correct module and use modprobe modulename | 11:16 |
| sluo-bj | er... but it seems not be detected | 11:18 |
| shadeslayer | sluo-bj: that is why you need to find the module and manually load it | 11:20 |
| sluo-bj | before, I can see the light flashes when I insert it. but some time later, it go dark and never flash any more | 11:20 |
| sluo-bj | How can I know the module name ? | 11:20 |
| shadeslayer | sluo-bj: ok remove it and reinsert it and pastebin the output of : dmesg | tail | 11:21 |
| shadeslayer | sluo-bj: youll have to google that,i have no idea | 11:21 |
| sluo-bj | I'm goooogling always...but no result so far. | 11:22 |

| ohlievher | hi kaddi and shades | 11:32 |
| ohlievher | just new to this envt | 11:32 |
| ohlievher | i mean in this ubuntu chatroom | 11:32 |
| ohlievher | what is this room all about? | 11:32 |
| kaddi | this is the official support channel for kubuntu | 11:33 |
| ohlievher | i see ... for kubuntu ... what's the difference with Ubuntu? | 11:34 |
| kaddi | incidentially my up- and my down-key stopped working this morning. :( I was wondering if I could reassign them with xmodmap or something, but I can't find out how to query the keycode of the keys. Does anyone know how to do this= | 11:34 |
| kaddi | ohlievher the difference is the displaymanager and the installed programs. Kubuntu uses KDE and therefore uses amarok for music, konqueror for web and dolphin as explorer by default, while Ubuntu uses gnome as displaymanager and has rythmbox, epiphany and nautilus as default, I think. | 11:35 |

| bebebebebe | ehm, im on my neighbours now. but when i press connect it just loads for 1 sec and nothing happens | 13:11 |
| bebebebebe | i have two wlans, can i connect both at the same time_ | 13:11 |
| cor | press connect? is that in the list of available connexions in the wicd gui? | 13:12 |
| bebebebebe | yes | 13:12 |
| cor | connect to two wlans? sure, if you have two wlan cards. actually, it may be possible, with a virtual adapptor, but I've not tried that, yet | 13:12 |
| cor | what do your error logs say the trouble is? | 13:13 |
| bebebebebe | someone type something | 13:13 |

| cor | bebebebebe, clearly you've already uninstalled Network Manager. Personally, I'd also remove wicd and just setup your interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, in the long run, it's usually easier. | 13:24 |
| cor | I messed around with network managers for almost a whole weekend when I first put in Kubuntu - what a waste of time! | 13:25 |

| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: the media player widget can play video only via a gstreamer backend | 13:56 |
| shadeslayer | not via xine | 13:57 |
| shadeslayer | same goes for miniplayer | 13:57 |

| BluesKaj | cor , so you use iplayer instead of mythtv , is this the idea ? | 14:28 |
| cor | dunno about mythtv, I just like to grab certain radio/tv shows, and get_iplayer makes it scripting/cron-easy | 14:37 |

| colton_ | Somehow I accidentally screwed up my desktop. When I click the minimize button on a window (the little upside down '^' looking thingy) it the window doesn't move to a tray from which I can click it and maximize it again, it just disappears. How do I fix this? | 14:49 |
| kaddi | colton_ gimme a second I'll find it.. :p | 14:57 |
| kaddi | colton_ the applet you are missing should be caled task manager. Just add it into your taskbar and you should see all the minimized windows there. | 14:59 |
| colton_ | Aha, brilliant. Thx. | 15:00 |
| colton_ | Oh look, I have ten instances of firefox, 4 instance of konqueror, 4 consoles. No wonder why my computer is quite as quick as i'm used to! | 15:01 |
| kaddi | your welcome | 15:01 |
| kaddi | lol | 15:01 |
| cor | in the future, when you "accidentally" close the task manager, a message may pop up saying, "ARE YOU NUTS???!?", and so on | 15:04 |
| kaddi | I switched to fancytasks/stasks quite a while ago.. more shininess :D | 15:06 |
| kaddi | but stasks hasn't been updated in a while :( | 15:07 |

| khaije|amalt | sturmtieF: whats yr wlan card? you'll just as likely have the same problem with a clean install so you may as well do some research first | 15:50 |
| cor | it's not windows, you know | 15:50 |
| sturmtieF | khaije|amalt: ir is a netgear WGT | 15:51 |

| khaije|amalt | sturmtieF: could you paste the output to yr 'lspci' to pastebin pls? | 15:55 |
| sturmtieF | in the hardware-driver-manegment i cant actiate the driver for this pmcia - i see it - i can klick on activate - but nothing else .... its not activated after that ... and - yes - a lan-connection is running and working for that | 15:55 |

| Guest93672 | good. | 15:59 |
| Guest93672 | lol | 15:59 |
| Guest93672 | but now the boot time is horrible.. | 16:00 |
| Guest93672 | and all apps are slow to load | 16:00 |
| Guest93672 | and download | 16:00 |
| shadeslayer | Guest93672: what did you do? :P | 16:00 |
| Guest93672 | nothing! | 16:00 |
| Guest93672 | lol | 16:00 |
| shadeslayer | Guest93672: ok,anyways install bootchart and have a look at the image of the boot process and see if you detect a anomally | 16:01 |
| Guest93672 | okay. | 16:01 |
| Guest93672 | is there a terminal command to get bootchart | 16:01 |
| sturmtieF | Guest93672: take the win cd more far away from your laptop | 16:01 |
| Guest93672 | lol | 16:01 |

| cor | detect an anomally.. very nice.. could have come straight out of Star Trek | 16:02 |
| shadeslayer | cor: hehe | 16:02 |
| shadeslayer | Guest93672: type : sudo apt-get install bootchart in a terminal | 16:02 |
| cor | I love how we speak like this now. with all this technology, it's a good thing | 16:02 |
| sturmtieF | khaije|amalt: got the pastebin-link? | 16:03 |
| Guest93672 | E: invalid bootchart operation | 16:03 |
| shadeslayer | Guest93672: you just need to reboot after installing | 16:04 |
| cor | lol | 16:04 |
| khaije|amalt | sturmtieF: ya, u said it worked before the upgrade? | 16:04 |
| Guest93672 | oh | 16:05 |
| Guest93672 | so reboot now | 16:06 |
| shadeslayer | Guest93672: yep | 16:06 |
| shadeslayer | Guest93672: and the image would be in /var/log/bootchart | 16:07 |
| khaije|amalt | Guest93672: before you reboot, did bootchar install ok? | 16:07 |
| khaije|amalt | bootchart that is | 16:07 |

| ubottu | Guest93672: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 16:08 |
| sturmtieF | khaije|amalt: yes - worked before. first with WICD ... and brfore the upgrade i installed knetworkmanager instead - because of third-partie | 16:09 |
| sturmtieF | but knetworkm. worked fine till the upgrade | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | sturmtieF, you skipped an important step when you upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04 , you didn't upgrade to 8.10 first, therefore you have to expect broken apps and dependencies | 16:11 |
| === PriceChild is now known as Pricey | ||
| sturmtieF | khaije|amalt: ups | 16:11 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: ++ | 16:11 |
| sturmtieF | khaije|amalt: ok, fresh install ... over lan i am saving my homedir now - and after that - a short fresch install ... if there it is no quicker solution | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | shadeslayer, how many kernel upgrades since 8.04 ? | 16:13 |
| sturmtieF | oh, msg goes to BlueKaj | 16:13 |
| sturmtieF | :) | 16:13 |
| sturmtieF | sorry | 16:14 |
| khaije|amalt | sturmtieF: I think this would help http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7237781&postcount=4 | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | sturmtieF, ithink a fresh install is best , yes | 16:14 |
| khaije|amalt | if my evaluation of this situation is correct, then it's actually not an especially complicated problem | 16:15 |
| sturmtieF | hmm | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | sturmtieF, have you tried wicd again , cuz the widget-network-manager is flaky still on 9.10 | 16:18 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: about 3 every version so thatll be about 9-10 | 16:21 |
| khaije|amalt | oh ya, what BluesKaj said, I'm using gnome-networkmanager in kde4 for best effect | 16:22 |
| sturmtieF | no, but i will try it noe ... if WICD will solve this prob - its ok... wicd is not bad | 16:22 |
| khaije|amalt | anyone played with connman? i see it's in the ubuntu repo's | 16:23 |
| sturmtieF | sorry for typing-mistakes ... left hand is injured | 16:23 |
| khaije|amalt | np :) | 16:23 |
| sturmtieF | only little finger leftside is free to use ;) | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | so skipping a version upgrade is a dangerous practice IMO , lots of kernel modules not being installed | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | changed kernel modules | 16:25 |
| cor | man: interfaces | 16:25 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: have you seen the new alpha 4 btw? | 16:26 |
| adna | shadeslayer: Just installed alpha 4 which works great but can't find my wireless chipset. | 16:28 |
| shadeslayer | :o | 16:30 |
| shadeslayer | im thinking of upgrading.... | 16:30 |
| adna | Or maybe not ipw3945 problem, but wireless doesn't work out of the box like with 9.04 | 16:30 |
| sturmtieF | BluesKaj: khaije|amalt: i do now a fresh install... problem is the madwifi-driver ... i can not install it. | 16:31 |
| adna | ...otherwise it's surprisingly stable for alpha. | 16:31 |
| shadeslayer | cool | 16:32 |
| sturmtieF | and - after that - when the problem is still there - i need to go face to face with the code | 16:33 |
| cor | none of the kubuntu releases work with my wifi, I always need to put in some daily kernel | 16:34 |
| cor | once you find the right kernel, it's trivial. | 16:34 |
| adna | cor: How does one do that? | 16:34 |
| cor | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D | 16:35 |
| cor | google about to see if any kernel versions are known to work with your hardware, and keep trying the latest! | 16:35 |
| cor | meanwhile there's probably a driver out there. | 16:35 |
| adna | cor: THNX. | 16:36 |
| cor | np. remember to grab all the packages, source, headers, and kernel image. install in the correct order (the order that gives no errors!) and then simply add a line to your grub config, test it out. if it doesn't work, just reboot and your back to your regular kernel | 16:37 |
| cor | *you're | 16:37 |
| GinoMan_ | someone in here really good at modules | 16:37 |
| GinoMan_ | ? | 16:38 |
| adna | cor: It's an intel chipset. the latest drivers are not downloadable, they're integrated with the kernel. | 16:38 |
| cor | but you can usually compile modules and add them to the kernel | 16:38 |
| cor | as a last resort! | 16:38 |

| Brian_ | hey i just did a update and now after a restart the cashew in the corner is gone and my desktop is now a bunch of checkard squares and i cant right click on the desktop | 17:02 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: press alt+d and then press = | 17:06 |
| Brian_ | i will in a sec im running in recovery mode, i forgot last night when i did the update i got a error maybe a broken dependency | 17:07 |
| Brian_ | ok im booting in now | 17:07 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: its probably that plasma is zoomed out | 17:08 |
| Brian_ | i dont think plasma is running | 17:09 |
| Brian_ | alt d didnt do anything | 17:09 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: you have to press = after that | 17:10 |
| Brian_ | in synaptic it says i have 17 broken packages | 17:10 |
| carpii_ | in tsclient, theres a vcn option but its disabled. What must I install to enable this option ? | 17:11 |
| carpii_ | vnc | 17:11 |

| Brian_ | how do i fix a broken package | 17:13 |
| Brian_ | 4.2.3 | 17:13 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: run sudo apt-get -f install | 17:14 |

| Brian_ | illl se | 17:17 |
| Brian_ | e | 17:17 |
| Brian_ | nope still no cashew and the chackard desktop that i cant click on | 17:18 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: press alt+F2 | 17:20 |
| Brian_ | ok | 17:20 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: does anything come up? | 17:20 |
| Brian_ | ya | 17:20 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: type plasma and hit enter | 17:20 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: did something happeN/ | 17:21 |
| Brian_ | nothing | 17:21 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: no cashew too? | 17:21 |
| Brian_ | nope | 17:21 |
| Brian_ | i clicked on desktop effects and it said compi isnt installed | 17:23 |
| Brian_ | so im installing that now | 17:23 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: compiz? | 17:23 |
| Brian_ | ya | 17:23 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: kde uses kwin | 17:23 |
| Brian_ | o | 17:23 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: open a konsole via alt+F2 and type kwin --replace in the konsole | 17:24 |
| Brian_ | should i just do a re install | 17:24 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: its up to you | 17:24 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: do you really think a reinstall will solve the problem? | 17:24 |
| Brian_ | the desktop blinked and i saw the wallpaper but only for a split second | 17:25 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: with the kwin command? | 17:25 |
| Brian_ | all this happened after i did a update and i got a errer half way threw | 17:25 |
| Brian_ | ya | 17:25 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: ok just type kwin in konsole | 17:26 |
| Brian_ | nope | 17:26 |
| shadeslayer | hmm,well just 2 more things and after that im out of ideas | 17:27 |
| Brian_ | ok | 17:27 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in a console | 17:27 |
| Brian_ | oh hey i think i figured it out | 17:28 |
| Brian_ | last night when i did the upgrade it was installing 4.3 | 17:28 |
| Brian_ | i just checked and im running 4.3 now | 17:29 |
| Brian_ | how do i downgrade back to 4.2.3 | 17:29 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: you cant | 17:30 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: well theres a way....but if you mess it up,you might have to reinstall | 17:31 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: remove the KDE 4.3 backports line and remove kubuntu-desktop from a TTY NOT a konsole | 17:31 |
| cor | *Ubuntu installer should create a "spare system" partition automatically, where folk can test upgrades. | 17:31 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: then install kubuntu-desktop for a 4.2.3 experience | 17:31 |
| cor | Linux can boot from extended partition, you could have a dozen OS in there, a hundred! | 17:32 |
| Brian_ | well i just opened synaptic and kubuntu-desktop wasnt installed | 17:32 |
| shadeslayer | cor: imho there should be a recovery center kind of thing where you press a button and all your files on /home/$user are backed up and the sytem is restored to default | 17:32 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: then install it :o | 17:33 |
| cor | you could have a "System restore" that actually really worked | 17:33 |
| cor | yes! | 17:33 |
| cor | Or at least, "yesterday" | 17:33 |
| cor | with HD's as big as they are, and extended partitions being bootable, you could easily snapshot entire systems, create any number of test scenarios. that area of *ubuntu needs work | 17:34 |
| cor | get this.. my single user mode check disks option doesn't even attempt to unmount the disks first, and ALWAYS errors. how crazy is that? | 17:35 |
| Brian_ | im restarting now i hope that was the problem | 17:35 |
| Brian_ | kubuntu desktop is kinda key | 17:35 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: yeah | 17:36 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: its a meta-package | 17:36 |
| shadeslayer | !meta-package | Brian_ | 17:36 |
| ubottu | Brian_: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 17:36 |
| Brian_ | wah still the checkard desktop no cashew | 17:36 |
| cor | an umbrella package, sorta | 17:37 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: ok last attempt | 17:37 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: type : rm -rf in a tty | 17:37 |
| shadeslayer | oh wait | 17:37 |
| cor | checkered! someone was after that! | 17:37 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: type : rm -rf ~/.kde in a tty | 17:37 |
| cor | someone in this channel or another. erm.. | 17:37 |
| cor | removing the background in KDE4 | 17:37 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: that command will restore all KDE settings | 17:38 |
| shadeslayer | to default | 17:38 |
| Brian_ | in a tty?? | 17:39 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: press ctrl+alt+F1 | 17:39 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: you have logged out of KDE right? | 17:40 |
| Brian_ | ya | 17:41 |
| Brian_ | are there spaces in that command | 17:41 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: rm -rf ~/.kde | 17:41 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: after rm yes | 17:42 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: and before ~ | 17:42 |

| eladh7 | There's someone here? | 18:12 |
| eladh7 | I installed ubuntu 9.04 now and I have a problem with viewing Flash content. | 18:13 |
| eladh7 | After installing the ubuntu finished, I installed all the updates and installed the latest driver for my graphics card - Hardware drivers. | 18:13 |
| eladh7 | The problem is that when I see a flash video on youtube, they work me slow, and can not be watch like this. | 18:13 |
| eladh7 | The problem is not only on youtube, are all sites that allow video viewing. | 18:13 |
| eladh7 | It should be noted that when I go to youtube for the first time, opened in firefox top bar that said should install Flash to view the Videos. | 18:13 |
| FloodBotK2 | eladh7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:13 |
| eladh7 | In the top bar I had three possible installation of a flash, one of them was - adobe flash, and that I installed. | 18:13 |

| Brian_ | they all say goto the kubuntu room for help | 19:07 |
| darthanubis | Brian_: just drop it, "we" are very anal about it:) | 19:07 |
| Brian_ | :( | 19:07 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: im sorry but i cannot help you further,since this is a kubuntu support channel not a mint support channe; | 19:07 |

| Brian_ | im new to this stuff | 19:08 |
| darthanubis | Brian_: Just lie when they ask you which distro you are running...ok? | 19:08 |
| Brian_ | i was | 19:09 |
| darthanubis | Mint really has NO support | 19:09 |
| shadeslayer | darthanubis: no! that could make problems worse | 19:09 |
| Brian_ | im really running kubuntu | 19:09 |
| darthanubis | shadeslayer: well that will be his problem | 19:09 |
| darthanubis | and then he would have learned that there is a difference | 19:09 |
| Brian_ | you had me uninstall of that and now your going to leave me hangin thats messed up | 19:09 |
| shadeslayer | darthanubis: no that will be the problem of the person who advised him to do the stuff | 19:10 |
| darthanubis | but between mint and ubuntu is laughable, between debian and the rest there is a difference that matters, thats all I have to say about that | 19:10 |
| darthanubis | shadeslayer: not in my reality | 19:10 |
| shadeslayer | Brian_: this is your own doing,you told me you had kubuntu | 19:10 |
| darthanubis | see | 19:10 |
| shadeslayer | darthanubis: you do not live in reality then | 19:10 |
| darthanubis | you just said it was HIS doing, not yours | 19:10 |
| darthanubis | shadeslayer: ok anon dude, I believe you | 19:11 |
| shadeslayer | darthanubis: yes,because HE told me he had kubuntu | 19:11 |
| * darthanubis rolls eyes | 19:11 | |

| shadeslayer | Brian_: tell them you have mint not kubuntu | 19:12 |
| darthanubis | Brian_: slow learner huh? STOP mentioning Mint dude | 19:12 |
| Brian_ | mint mint mint mint mint | 19:12 |
| darthanubis | lol, idiot | 19:12 |

| xephexx | this is my first time using irc | 21:55 |
| e370 | me 2, well via ubuntu anyway | 21:56 |
| e370 | whats the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu | 22:05 |
| kaddi1 | e370, ubuntu has gnome as displaymanager and kubuntu has kde as displaymanager | 22:07 |
| e370 | they look the same on wiki | 22:07 |
| kaddi1 | do you have the links? | 22:07 |
| e370 | 1 sec | 22:08 |
| === root is now known as Guest77061 | ||
| kaddi1 | e370, they differ in configurability and the default programs that are installed on your system. (amarok, konqueror, okular against rythmbox, epiphany and evince) | 22:09 |
| e370 | rythmbox is on ubuntu | 22:09 |
| kaddi1 | yep | 22:09 |
| e370 | n yh ur right the desktops r different | 22:09 |
| e370 | i was lookin at an older version | 22:10 |
| e370 | d'oh | 22:10 |
| kaddi1 | :) it might have been a mistake on wikipedia as well. I was just curious | 22:10 |
| e370 | i ment kde and kubuntu look alike | 22:10 |
| kaddi1 | e370, yes that's normal, since kde is the displaymanager of kubuntu :) | 22:11 |
| e370 | can it be downloded as kde? | 22:11 |
| e370 | i dont know which linux to install on my netbook, ubuntu, kde or gnome | 22:12 |
| e370 | it has a 8gb hdd | 22:12 |
| kaddi1 | e370, ubuntu can be used with either kde or gnome,. | 22:12 |
| e370 | lol | 22:12 |
| e370 | hope it can be upgraded cos 8gb isnt much | 22:13 |

| mrcognitive | i went to the adobe flash home page but nothing is compatible with my system i guess . | 22:18 |

| lifeofguenter | hi all | 23:27 |
| lifeofguenter | using the new kubuntu 9.10 alpha, was just wondering, has anyone set multiple monitors with that yet? | 23:27 |
| lifeofguenter | under system settings -> display -> multiple monitors there is just a message saying basically I do not have it configured | 23:28 |
| lifeofguenter | but how/where can I configure it? | 23:28 |
| abalone | I've always configured monitors in xorg.conf... | 23:32 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | Kubuntu >8.4 seems to handle more than one pretty badly. | 23:33 |
| lifeofguenter | abalone: me too.. but since 9.10 there is not even a xorg.conf existing | 23:34 |
| abalone | wha....what? | 23:34 |
| abalone | oh no | 23:34 |
| abalone | where am I going to set my game- and emulation-friendly metamodes? | 23:35 |
| lifeofguenter | I used to use xrandr since 8.04 (though under gnome/xfce) | 23:35 |
| zch-rs | when i download an application as an archive, how do i get it to show up in my applications menu? | 23:35 |
| lifeofguenter | well usually you don't need messing up with the xorg.conf anyway.. especially if you are going with xrandr | 23:35 |
| lifeofguenter | but I would just like to go the "kde-way" when using multple monitor | 23:36 |
| abalone | I've never used that, l_o_guenter | 23:36 |
| abalone | and I'm not using KDE only | 23:36 |
| lifeofguenter | really not? what version of kde / ubuntu are you using? | 23:36 |
| abalone | 9.04 KDE 4.3 | 23:36 |
| lifeofguenter | and you still mess around with the xorg.conf? | 23:37 |
| abalone | I don't mess around with it, I just use it | 23:37 |
| lifeofguenter | :) | 23:37 |
| abalone | unlike krandr it doesn't crash X | 23:37 |

| abalone | my card is supported by the proprietary "nvidia" driver, and I'm using what I suppose is a proprietary nVidia "method" - called TwinView. There's "krandrtray" but it only lets me switch between modes already configured in xorg.conf. I can't set anything up with it, it seems. I can do that with the nvidia-settings tool (which will write to xorg.conf, so that's nothing new either) | 23:46 |

| maco | kaddi1: do-release-upgrade edits sources.list for you. it probably is looking at sources.list and going "oh, already at lts. BAIL!" | 23:51 |
| maco | kaddi1: put it back to gutsy then run "sudo do-release-upgrade" and it shoudl change sources.list and upgrade you all in one | 23:52 |
| mozillo | hello world | 23:52 |
| kaddi1 | ok, maco, I'm just mentioning that here, because this is the guide linked in !eolupgrade. | 23:53 |
| maco | kaddi1: whoever typed it screwed up maybe... | 23:53 |
| Serraphyn | anyone here able to help me get decent video quality in kde? I am using SIS framebuffer | 23:53 |
| kaddi1 | maco it has you run a perlscript replacing gutsy with hardy, then running do_release_upgrade and then saying that one is finished. So it might need some editing | 23:54 |
| maco | kaddi1: do-release-upgrade should be the only thing required | 23:54 |
| maco | kaddi1: oh! | 23:55 |
| maco | kaddi1: i see. i thought youd changed "gutsy" to "hardy" all over...hmm that old-releases thing isnt something ive seen before | 23:55 |
| maco | kaddi1: ok just read the whole thing now :P after you have gutsy all the way up to date, it should be changed back to not having old-releases, but you shouldnt change gutsy to hardy throughout the file because then itll confuse do-release-upgrade, i think | 23:57 |
