[00:02] maco, i rebooted following the instructions, i reverted the sources.list to gutsy and ran sudo do-release-upgrade again and I still get the "no new ubuntu version available" [00:03] sadly it also broke my lan connection, so now I can't update anymore... would doing a apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade with the new sources be safe? [00:04] kaddi1: mostly, yes. its not usually recommended because there are some hints about obsolete versions that wont get through...but yeah, ive done it when the upgrader crashed mid-upgrade with only a little bit of bugginess (obsolete & no longer compatible package misbehaving) resulting [00:04] kaddi1: which kernel does it say youre running now? uname -a [00:04] maybe you can boot an old kernel to try to use apt? [00:05] #48-Ubuntu SMP [00:06] smp = smoke more pot [00:06] kaddi1: if push comes to shove, 8.04 can be installed on top of 7.10 from cd without losing your data if you choose manual partitioning, tell it to use the same partition as before and tell it NOT to format the drive. itd then keep your /home [00:06] cuznt: stop please [00:06] sure... it was true but hard to resist [00:06] drug use is off topic for the support channel [00:06] i appologise === blaubeere is now known as kaddi [00:06] true? SMP = symmetric multi-processing [00:08] yes [00:09] i thought you were asking if smp meant symmetric multi processing, lol :p [00:12] maco, I'm gonna reboot into the old kernel and see if I can get my network back to work [00:12] kaddi1: k [00:13] maco, actually I'm not.. seems as if the older kernel was removed during upgrade :/ only 22.14 is showing in grub [00:14] ls /boot [00:20] maco I got my internet back, I'm just gonna run dist-upgrade now :) [00:20] maco, ls /boot only lists the one available kernel 22.14 [00:21] exit [00:21] exit === syb is now known as syb-away [00:23] kaddi1: well at least you got the net up [00:26] maco, yeah but I'll have to reboot again after updating to hardy. Who knows how it'll work after that. :D [00:27] hah [00:34] olaaaa [00:35] ola :) [00:35] !es [00:35] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:36] he left already :'( [00:36] oh well === syb-away is now known as syb [00:46] whats up everyone [00:47] hey how do i create a launcher , in gnome all i have to do is right click on the desktop === syb is now known as syb-away [00:48] i did a refly again? :/ === kaddi1 is now known as kaddi === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony === miguel_ is now known as Guest16857 [00:57] the intel regression is only in 9.04,no? === s_ is now known as sndv_ [01:05] Everyone: Hi I have a little question: Eventough I've already upgraded to kde 4.3 a week ago or so Software Updates control module reports 38 updates involing kde packages in version which are already installed [01:07] ok this is dumb but how do u use remote desktop view === syb-away is now known as syb [01:10] e370: are you looking for a remote desktop client or connecting to a linux machine of the Internet === syb is now known as syb-away [01:12] linux machine over net [01:12] windows or linux client? [01:13] linux hes running the same as me [01:13] you can use ssh [01:13] im a noob lol [01:13] whats that [01:13] e370: do you know what telnet is [01:14] nah [01:14] e370: here is the wiki page on ssh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell [01:14] e370: its a secure connection to a computer [01:15] i need a GUI [01:15] :) [01:15] e370: are you both running kde === s is now known as Guest75876 [01:15] ubuntu [01:16] the newest 1 [01:16] Hey guys, I just installed Kubuntu 9.04 and updraded KDE to 4.3. I have a Nvidia 6800 card (with the 180 drivers), but I dont have any desktop effects. What module do I have to load in xorg.conf to get it to work? [01:16] Nvidia x server? [01:16] i have that [01:16] e370: there are different window managers in linux. If both of you are running the same one there is usually a graphical client to connect [01:17] e370: Did you install ubuntu or kubuntu [01:18] mm_202: make sure glx is loaded === Guest75876 is now known as snd_ [01:18] mrh0057: I see it has the load glx line, let me check the xorg logs. [01:19] ubuntu [01:19] someone just suggest our routers r probably blocking us [01:19] e370: if its ubuntu look in the application menu add there should be something about connecting to remote clients [01:19] thanks [01:20] portforwarding? [01:20] mrh0057: Xorg.0.log says it was loaded fine... .. is that a common problem? [01:20] soz for askin such noobish questions [01:21] mm_202: if glx is loaded that means opengl is enabled so it should work [01:22] mm_202: run glxinfo and see if its using the nvidia [01:22] mrh0057: Yeah, OpenGL works (tested with screensavers), but it says "Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available." for Desktop Effects. [01:22] mm_202: are you running kde or gnome [01:22] KDE [01:22] Im in #kubuntu for a reason :) [01:25] mm_202: have you tried loading them in Xorg.conf file [01:45] hello? [01:45] somone here? [01:48] please, i would need a little help [01:48] just ask your question [01:48] then ppl will help, or maybe ppl wont [01:50] sorry, but i'm new to ubuntu, and installed and deinstalled lamp server a few times, everything works now, but on localhost/phpmyadmin i just get a file to download... but php with another page (phpbb3) works fine?! [01:55] phpbb3 is on localhost too? [01:55] and accessed via same 'domain' of http:/localhost ? [01:55] one moment... i'm on another pc [01:56] localhost - It work's fine! [01:57] localhost/~username/phpBB3 - works too, but [01:57] oh nooo, works from localhost, but not from my pc?! [01:58] strange is there a need to allow access from other ip´s? [01:59] hey all. [01:59] need help with USB sound card... [01:59] 'asoundconf list' shows my sound card, ID="MP3" [01:59] so i do "sudo asoundconf set-default-card MP3" [02:00] ...nothing :( [02:00] it worked fine in hardy, but not jaunty. [02:01] i've removed all traces of pulseaudio a while ago... [02:01] i would like to listen to The [02:01] Clash loudly right now, it is not working :'( [02:04] "sudo aplay -l" lists my laptops card as 0, the external (MP3) as 1... is this wrong? [02:04] ok guys... let's say I want to play Nickelback on my stereo... does that help? [02:05] Just kidding. [02:05] Creed. [02:08] just restarted X... still no Nickelback playing from my stereo :'( [02:13] Mamarok, are you there? [02:20] <__lEo___> hi [02:21] <__lEo___> kubuntuforums.net has been down all day? [02:21] __lEo___, "Service Unavailable" [02:22] <__lEo___> well, yes [02:22] __lEo___, so, yeah. [02:22] <__lEo___> what? [02:22] __lEo___, yes. site is down. [02:23] <__lEo___> I guess it's what we get for having our main support channel served by a windows server :( [02:24] __lEo___, last i checked, 2003 :'( [02:25] <__lEo___> yesp, in netcraft, the stats for ubuntu forum.org is a reboot eveery few months, ower is once every few days, oh well [02:25] <__lEo___> sorry, i meant ubuntuforums.org ... of course that is hosted by Canonical [02:26] <__lEo___> I wonder why kubuntuforums couldn't be hosted there [02:26] <__lEo___> being a special forum in ubuntuforums is not very enticing [02:26] __lEo___, havent you heard? Canonical doesn't actually give much attention to KDE [02:26] <__lEo___> well, yes [02:26] <__lEo___> but I think they are nice folks [02:26] <__lEo___> and they give official status to Kubuntu [02:27] a reboot every few months? LOL [02:27] ubuntuforums.org goes down every couple days [02:27] __lEo___, ...as do I. But if they could implement KDE in Kubuntu like Arch or even OpenSUSE, I would weep with joy. [02:27] <__lEo___> so I am sure they would accept hosting, I am not even sure who own kubuntuforums [02:27] we've been begging for new db servers for ages because it cant handle the load [02:27] APT ftw [02:27] <__lEo___> we ... who maco? [02:27] ign0ramus: the kubuntu team makes it a goal to stay as close to upstream as possible [02:28] __lEo___: ubuntuforums.org moderators [02:28] __lEo___: though i suppose those admin folks do more begging. we just get behind the admins going "right no, guys!" [02:28] s/no/on/ [02:28] <__lEo___> I see, are you sure about going ... Ah, maybe the db goes down [02:28] <__lEo___> the server I think not [02:29] __lEo___: the db goes down constantly and then everyone going to the forums gets a big ol' error across the screen for 5 minutes to an hour depending on how long it takes to fix === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow === john is now known as Guest39775 [02:29] i was surprised to find that kubuntuforum.net even existed since there's always been kubuntu help on ubuntuforums [02:30] <__lEo___> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=ubuntuforums.org [02:30] maco, yes, but always as an afterthought :( [02:30] maco, the answer is not always to throw hardware at it. you can probably memcache or optimise your queries [02:30] <__lEo___> well, i have an account in ubuntuforums [02:30] <__lEo___> it is definitely _the_ ubuntu resource [02:30] carpii_: we deleted like 1/4 of the forum as a stop-gap measure [02:30] <__lEo___> but for kubuntu stuff, kubuntuforums is a lot better [02:31] <__lEo___> kde gets constantly bashed in ubuntuforums [02:31] __lEo___: ! where? [02:31] carpii_: ok actually...admins did deleting as mods cant :P [02:31] <__lEo___> if someone asks for help for kubuntu, the usual answer I've found is "oh man, kde sucks, why are you running this" [02:32] <__lEo___> I am not saying everyone is unfriendly [02:32] <__lEo___> there are lots of wonderful people in ubuntuforums [02:32] <__lEo___> but I find it a lot simpler to give help in kubuntuforums because you don;t have that extra load from the negativity [02:32] carpii_: but a ton of very old stuff was deleted to try to help. the other-os forum was deleted (people were not happy). AFAIK, all the optimizations anyone could come up with were done, its just too much data. complex queries can take > 5 minutes to run :( [02:33] <__lEo___> yeah, searches ... quite frankly [02:33] <__lEo___> isn't it better to outsurce to google? [02:33] <__lEo___> that';s what i do in kubuntuforums [02:33] <__lEo___> or ubuntuforums [02:33] id never use mysql for searching [02:33] use sphinx [02:33] <__lEo___> i never search in the forums search box [02:34] but really you need to understand where the load is coming from, it might not be searches but just bookkeeping [02:34] <__lEo___> that could be the case carpii [02:34] __lEo___: i wouldnt disagree with reporting such responses as trolling [02:35] <__lEo___> but I'd just put a search box that really sends you to google, with "search" + site:ubuntuforums.org [02:35] <__lEo___> or kubuntuforums.net [02:35] <__lEo___> of course the search will miss the last couple days [02:35] <__lEo___> but it's better than nothing [02:35] goog,le is not always an option, if your forum needs users to register before they can read it [02:36] <__lEo___> but this is not the case for either ubuntuforums or kubuntuforums [02:36] i think at one point because queries were so bad we DID switch to google search [02:36] maco, what is "show processlist" showing you in mysql ? [02:36] <__lEo___> it may be an issues for other forums [02:36] lEo, maybe, but are we taling about ubuntu forums ? [02:36] carpii_: i have no db access since im a mod not an admin [02:36] oki [02:37] <__lEo___> yes, ubuntuforums.org. all the content can be accessed without being registered [02:37] <__lEo___> anyways, it's amazing how far we went as a community [02:37] oh ok, i thought we were talking about some unknown forum [02:37] <__lEo___> we become mainstream [02:37] <__lEo___> no, no [02:38] <__lEo___> became mainstream, linux runs your phone, your gps, your netbook, amazing [02:38] <__lEo___> most people in the world, I would say most people with access to electronics are running at least one thing with linux [02:38] __lEo___: ok other mods agree with me. if someone says kde or kubuntu sucks and tells them to switch to ubuntu+gnome, report it as trolling [02:39] <__lEo___> k, thanks Maco, I do hang out there [02:39] <__lEo___> mostly for generic stuff, like hardware issues, etc [02:39] <__lEo___> most times i give help, i'v ebeen running since 1995 :D === john is now known as Guest51870 [02:40] <__lEo___> and i am too busy to contribute code these days === Guest51870 is now known as neonyoga [02:40] <__lEo___> so ..., I like to give back here and there [02:40] <__lEo___> does anyone know why quassel IRC is such a huge bloat? [02:40] <__lEo___> like 55 mb download [02:40] <__lEo___> it should be about 5 or 6 [02:41] <__lEo___> is there any nice plasmoid/widget to replace it? [02:41] <__lEo___> particularly in my poor eee 701 with 4G disk [02:41] just quassel is 55mb? [02:41] or did you install quassel, quassel core, and quassel client? [02:41] * neonyoga waves [02:42] <__lEo___> yes, i don't know wtf ... i mean, it is not supposed to have any big graphics to store or anything [02:42] <__lEo___> let me check in synaptic [02:42] <__lEo___> (I do use synaptic, kpackagekit is broken) [02:43] brb, need to move clothes from washer to drier [02:43] <__lEo___> the only two supported packages are quasel and quasel-data [02:43] <__lEo___> and they get installed by the kubuntu-desktop metapackage [02:43] <__lEo___> sure [02:43] <__lEo___> quassel alone is: 56.1M installed [02:50] Hey, I just installed kubuntu, how do I enable my nvidia driver? I don't see my nvidia card in the restricted harware dialog...? [02:53] Hey, I just installed kubuntu, how do I enable my nvidia driver? I don't see my nvidia card in the restricted harware dialog...? [02:57] <__lEo___> it doesn't show? === TannerS_AFK is now known as TannerS [02:57] <__lEo___> did you enable all teh repositories? [02:58] <__lEo___> software repositories [02:58] KDE Menu->Applications->System->Hardware Drivers [03:00] Hey, I just installed KDE, and I don't see my nvidia driver on the restricted hardware driver screen....what do I have to do? [03:03] genu: install synaptic and goto Setttings->Repositories and select proprietary drivers for devices [03:04] mrh0057: ok I will try that....currently I just clicked to update...so I can't access the settings right now [03:05] what's the model of your video card [03:05] or just install xserver-xorg-video-nvidia [03:06] oh...crudmuffins, mrh0057 has a point [03:06] i have Nvidia 9500M GS [03:06] they dont have only one restricted driver grrr [03:06] genu: it should be there and either one should work [03:07] my restricted driver screen had nothing there....typically I it would have my videocard driver, where I would just enable it, and everything would be ok....I don't know why it doesn't show it now... [03:08] genu: apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [03:09] genu: that will give you the latest driver that ubuntu ships with [03:09] thx...i'll try that... [03:13] genu: make a backup of your /etc/x11/xorg.conf before you install it. [03:13] k [03:16] mrh0057: I've installed it, now what? [03:16] I need to restart the xserver? === administrator is now known as Guest8695 === Guest8695 is now known as pod773 [03:23] hello [03:26] mrh0057: thx, I've got the driver to install now... :) [03:26] run glxinfo | more to make sure [03:27] mrh0057: I have a secondary monitor, that I have enabled, its spanning the way it should be to it, but is it possible to flip the image on the secondary monitor vertically? as I have the monitor mounted upside down... [03:27] run nvidia-settings [03:27] I ran into this problem a few months ago (thats why I had to go back to windwos).... [03:27] ok..i'm in nvidia-settings [03:28] genu: there probably is but I never tried to do that before [03:29] I'm in nvidia-settings now, hmm....I don't really see an option to "mirror" or flip, or anything... [03:36] genu: xrander might work [03:37] k..thx...i'll look into it [03:37] genu: its xrandr [03:37] o ok [03:37] Here is a forum posting about it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682821 [03:39] What is a decent mIRC replacement?

[03:42] hi [03:42] Hello [03:45] hey im trying to make a launcher but i cant find out how, in gnome all i have to do is right click on the desktop and pick new launcher but i dont know how in kde [03:46] webb: right-click->Add Widget->Application Launcher [03:47] Hmmmmm [03:47] Okay I'll look into those. Next question my preformance in KDE seems to suck for graphics, like dragging windows around. I have a GeForce 7400, so I think that should be enough [03:48] no not the menu i want to create a file launcher so i can launch firefox 3.5 i downloaded from the net [03:49] webb: sorry that the wrong widget [03:51] so does anyone know how to create a file launcher so i can launch a program [03:52] webbb: you can create a folder view and add applications to launch from there [03:52] ok [03:52] but you cant create one like in gnome ? [03:53] webbb: I think they added a widget that can do that but I don't remember the name [03:53] ok well thanks anyway [03:55] ei guys i downloaded audacity to edit some track, but now everytime i click in a mp3, audicity opens it, not amarok, how i can fix that? [03:58] ei guys i downloaded audacity to edit some tracks, but now everytime i click in a mp3, audicity opens it, not amarok, how i can fix that? [03:59] <__lEo___> luis, go to system settings [03:59] <__lEo___> and file associations [03:59] <__lEo___> and you can set it there [03:59] <__lEo___> another way is to go with dolphin to a place where you have an mp3 [03:59] <__lEo___> right click, Open With [04:00] <__lEo___> and choose Amarok, and check the box that says "remember this" [04:01] yah but [04:01] in system settings [04:01] there is not an option to create a new mp3 manager [04:01] <__lEo___> what?

[04:13] <__lEo___> i just realized i could use it instead of quassel [04:13] No [04:13] I hate linux IRC clients [04:13] <__lEo___> which seems like a best at 60Mb for a simple IRC client === vorian is now known as v [04:14] <__lEo___> i don't hate them, but I'd love to see a widget for this [04:14] <__lEo___> SJr, you were saying about performance [04:14] <__lEo___> are you running the nvidia binary driver? [04:15] Yes [04:15] <__lEo___> what's the card again? [04:15] 7400 [04:15] <__lEo___> IGP or dedicated card [04:15] <__lEo___> geforce? [04:15] VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1) [04:15] IGP (Notebook) [04:17] <__lEo___> i think with most IGP's you need to disable desktop effects to have good performance [04:17] <__lEo___> is that your case? Are they on? [04:17] Ei IEo u use virtual box? [04:18] <__lEo___> no no virtual box [04:18] i just installed it because i wanna use XP, but it says i need a ISO image of XP to use the SO, where i can get 1 free? [04:18] Yeah [04:18] They are on, that's why it sucks [04:18] Hmmmm I think I actually found the reason [04:18] GNOME is still running [04:18] <__lEo___> SJ: try them off [04:18] SJr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:18] I want them on :) [04:18] LOL [04:19] How can gnome be running at the same time, that's weird [04:19] <__lEo___> You can switch to another session I guess [04:19] <__lEo___> and have GNOME on the backgroung [04:19] <__lEo___> d [04:19] No but KDE is running too [04:19] I just noticed that when I right click on my desktop, I get the gnome context menu, and my background is controlled by Gnome too [04:20] <__lEo___> I am not sure how you can do that. SJr [04:31] <__lEo___> ah, probably kopete in Jaunty still doesn't do irc [04:31] здрасти [04:31] <__lEo___> I don't see the option [04:31] <__lEo___> claus: I agree [04:31] <__lEo___> :) [04:32] <__lEo___> This will be awesome: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/IRC%20plasmoid%20mockup?content=108428 [04:33] does anyone know of a good dock//app launcher [04:34] <__lEo___> in 4.2 the quicklauncher was broken [04:34] <__lEo___> now i am running 4.3 [04:34] <__lEo___> i can give it a shot [04:34] <__lEo___> let me see [04:34] __lEo___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] <__lEo___> now it is working nicely [04:35] <__lEo___> you can drop an icon from the menu into the quick launcher [04:35] <__lEo___> and get it in the quick launcher [04:36] i really understoof that [04:38] <__lEo___> well, sorry for wating your time, it was broken before [04:47] hi there [04:48] Im using kubuntu jaunty [04:48] on a PC with Ati 9250 [04:48] and cant set the resolution [04:48] every time I restart [04:48] it returnd to 800x600 [04:48] it returnd to 800x600 [04:48] any help?

Ill try to put it on the start options [05:44] when I click on the Leave Button at the right-botton of the menu [05:45] whats the best app launcher / dock for kde [05:46] it shows the shutdown notification very late for example 10 sec [05:46] can anybody explain it? [05:47] webbb: what do you want exactly? [05:47] a good dock or app launcher so i dont have to use the kmenu [05:49] webbb: do you use krunner? [05:49] mostafa: ya but i want somthing more likie a dock like in mac osx [05:50] webbb: I don't use mac os and of course I don't know dock can you explain it to me? === hemathor_ is now known as hemathor [05:51] its a little menu that sits on youor desktop that holds apps for you so you can just click on the icon and launch the pp without opening the menu [05:54] webbb: see this link and tell me is it dock that you mean? [05:54] http://img.brothersoft.com/screenshots/softimage/d/docks_for_mac-224157-1237876837.jpeg [05:54] kinda like that [05:54] I have tried both the 9.04 livecd/dvd and neither are able to use my ethernet(intelpro100). Looking a the dmesg shows the card is recognized, but the widget/menu does not see the card and all attempts with ifconfig have failed. [05:56] webbb: do you add the widget "Folder view"? [05:57] ya [05:57] webbb: and it is useless for your goal? [05:57] I have not had the same problem with other *buntus, other distributions, or operating systems. [05:57] it works i just wwwanted somthing better [05:58] webbb: can you say what capabality does dock have that folder view doesn't? [05:59] http://wiki.awn-project.org/ [06:00] look at that [06:07] webbb: I see it then why you don't install awn? [06:10] webbb: r u there?

I added the kubuntu-ppa to get kde 4.3 and i now have broken packages. it stops on kdebase-workspace-dev [06:47] i am left with the tty's and nothing else. any way to solve it other than reinstalling kubuntu? === gorgonzola_ is now known as gorgonzola [06:52] sayakb: Did you, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"? [06:52] J-_: as I added those from ppa, those upgrades were not available from upgrade, so I did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:53] So you're trying to upgrade to another release? [06:53] nope, just upgrade to kde 4.3 [06:54] dist-upgrade will also install backports, and 4.3 is backported in kubuntu [06:54] Ah I see, I dunno then. It's the reason why I never uograde. I always reinstall. [06:54] ok, np [06:55] !upgrade [06:55] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - To upgrade to Jaunty (9.04) directly from Hardy (8.04) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades/Kubuntu/8.04 - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [06:55] Not sure if that says anything [06:55] only if I could open those, stuck with my tty's, so no X [06:56] links2 [06:56] i do have links2, hm. thanks, i'll read them [06:56] I doubt they'll say anything though.
