[00:00] I'm not sure if you can have applications access an open wallet without using a password. I think I only have Kopete using kwallet [00:01] kde 3.5 has support' [00:01] ? [00:01] EagleScreen: if memory serves me right, you can also select "always allow access to wallet, then you only need to enter your wallet password once at boot and all other program can access it freely.. it just isn't really secure that way :p [00:02] marco- if it support for KDE 3.5 hasn't ended yet, it will fairly soon [00:04] Does anybody know if it's possible to boot from CD on a Sony Vaio laptop? [00:05] of course... [00:05] just change boot order at the start of the boot [00:05] to cd-rw dvd [00:05] I've done that. I made 'internal optical drive' number one [00:06] It still skipped it altogether, and went on to boot Windows [00:06] Aqui1a, are you sure that is you cdrom drive ? [00:07] No lol [00:07] but none of the other options could be it [00:07] So I'm guessing that it is my DVD Drive [00:09] well you need akubuntu iso image burned to a cd-r or cd-rw [00:11] You're probably right... [00:11] you can download the livecd iso and burn it in windows then pop it in your optical drive :) and you should be able to boot the live cd [00:11] back into the drive [00:11] Hmm [00:11] * BluesKaj is beginning to repeat [00:12] lol [00:12] himself [00:12] No need [00:12] I fully understand [00:12] will Kde be (one day) the default WM in Ubuntu? [00:13] <_genuser_> Hello People. [00:13] <_genuser_> I'm having issue getting sound to work. [00:15] marco, no kde is a desktop environment for kubuntu, like gnome is adektop envirniment for ubuntu [00:16] if ubuntu used kde, what would happen to kubuntu? [00:17] it would use gnome :D [00:17] * kaddi feels like she deserved that parting message, also it probably was random :p [00:18] nothing MsMaco , kubuntu is kde [00:18] im aware [00:19] but with what marco asked [00:19] !kde | MsMaco [00:19] if ubuntu switched to kde....what would be the point of kubuntu? [00:19] MsMaco: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [00:19] *sigh* i know. i have commit access in kde and a handful of patches in kubuntu [00:19] !desktop [00:19] A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [00:20] hmm nice that that factoid now tells you which package to install [00:21] im just sayin... marco asked if ubuntu would switch to kde. hypothetically, if that were to happen (which...er...no), then either kubuntu would need to use a DE that doesnt start with a K or would have to go away [00:21] <_genuser_> guys can someone help debug sound issues? [00:22] <_genuser_> amarok fails to playing saying jack can't start. [00:22] which kubuntu version _genuser_ ? [00:23] <_genuser_> jaunty, 9.04. kde 4.2.2. [00:24] alsa-utils installed ? [00:24] <_genuser_> BluesKaj: I don't remember manually installing it. I would say no. [00:25] jack is something i've avoided over the yrs ...it's too messy for my simple mind to comprehend [00:26] <_genuser_> BluesKaj: in other distros, I've also avoided JACK. I haven't really had a need to mix multiple audio sources. But I'm not sure how to debug an k/ubuntu installation. [00:26] dealing with alsa, pulseaudio and media settings difficult enuff [00:26] <_genuser_> BluesKaj: sudo apt-get install alsa-utils says it's already installed. [00:27] have you checked alsamixer in the terminal ? [00:27] <_genuser_> BluesKaj: alsamixer fails. snd_ctl_open failed. [00:27] <_genuser_> probably sound driver problem... [00:27] yes [00:28] kubuntu doesnt include jack by default... [00:28] alsa uses the driver , pulseaudio is the default sound server in kubuntu now [00:28] nuh uh [00:28] kubuntu doesnt include pulseaudio [00:28] only ubuntu does [00:28] <_genuser_> BluesKaj: ok rebooting. I just realized the vmware didn't connect my soundcard. thanks for helping me debug. [00:28] <_genuser_> :) [00:29] kubuntu uses phonon as an abstraction layer to make writing video/audio apps easier [00:29] * BluesKaj shakes his head ...nm [00:29] MsMaco: software mixing is done by alsa ? [00:29] BluesKaj: it is very common to see pulseaudio on kubuntu though [00:29] phh: alsa doesnt do software mixing unless you use dmix as the device [00:30] phh: pulseaudio does software mixing in ubuntu, and i assume phonon must know how to do it too [00:30] MsMaco: dmix is the default setting for a long a time now [00:30] BluesKaj: the reason its common is that java depends on it [00:30] ok then why is pulse audio installed on my setup, when i never installed it separately [00:30] MsMaco: phono is just a library, no daemon, it won't do any mixing [00:30] because java depends on it [00:30] phh: then i have no idea how the mixing works [00:31] and im pretty sure dmix isnt the default device...i recall doing a writeup on my blog when pulseaudio went into ubuntu on how to change to dmix since a few apps (like mythtv) couldnt do pulseaudio and would block on it without dmi [00:31] *dmix [00:32] unless its changed in the last year... [00:32] pulesaudio afaik has replaced esd , and it doesn't work in some cases, such as pci soundcards that have fallback driver modules [00:33] fallback driver modules? [00:34] but yes, its the esd replacement [00:35] yes quasi-kernel modules as it was explained , sort of like X is now and depends on HAL. That's as much as iI can recall about the article I read [00:35] and im sure kubuntu doesnt include pulseaudio because ive been there when an audio developer and a few kubuntu developers were arguing about "blah blah pulseaudio causes bugs!" "so report the bugs!" [00:37] MsMaco, I agree about the bugs , cuz it was working unders test a while ago , but now pulseaudio hands off to this " fall back" which has the same name as my soundcard [00:38] Is this in any of the repositories yet http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/Styles/GtkStyle [00:38] interesting... [00:39] one of the complaints about pulse is that when phonon realizes it cant lock the sound device and has to use pulse instead it says something like "Intel ALC883 failed. Falling back to PulseAudio" and then users think it means their hardware broke === [[BoCcA_Di_RoSa] is now known as [[MammaDiEmo]] [00:39] audio guy and i both went "er...so fix phonon's notification strings?" [00:39] which makes me think it's some kind of audio-kernel module associated with my soundcard [00:39] hello [00:40] what do you make Konq work w/ gmail? [00:40] Sertse, which kubuntu version ? [00:41] the newer kubuntu versions have fixed the problem with gmail ..mostly [00:41] Konqueror is just kinda ..umm....boo [00:42] i think Arora (the maybe-replacement for Konq in 9.10...undecided so far) works with it [00:42] or well...i think a lot of us just use firefox instead [00:42] Slashdot was the reason Riddell asked "can we replace Konqueror?" [00:43] arora and rekonq are boring browsers :P [00:44] Hi :) [00:44] * BluesKaj is running chromium-browser [00:44] It worked lol [00:44] the iso ? [00:44] Yup [00:44] great [00:44] Successfully installed [00:45] :) [00:45] and I also got my wireless network working too. Double fun. [00:45] that's lucky! [00:45] :D [00:45] yeah , that's afirst :) [00:53] ok, no I need to ask.. is it possilbel to disable ctrl+c for konversation? -.- I seem unable to not hit it every 2 hours -.- [00:53] *now [00:53] that would be an exception I need to set with global shortcuts, no? [00:56] ctrl+c ...are you copying something ? [00:57] BluesKaj: no I just keep accidentally hitting that combination.. I seem to be magically attracted to it, which then kills the program. [00:57] Konversation is the only program that I unintentionally close with that shortcut [00:59] I use it all the time to copy highlighted text but it doesn't kill konversation [00:59] konversation doesnt have settings -> configure shortcuts ? [01:00] TV time ..BBL [01:00] it does, but it is not set to ctrl+c, it was set to ctrl+q, but I removed that some time ago === marvelous is now known as wonderful [01:01] i thought it was a setting from kwin or something? [01:04] ok, well I'm off to bed, too.. so see you all later. [01:13] all my gtk icons look like the gnome default, is there a way to change them? [01:28] i believe it is possible to upgrade kubuntu (8.10->9.04) from the DVD download using sudo apt-get dist upgrade [01:28] i am looking for some kind of confirmation [01:28] anyone seen any documentation about upgrading from the dvd anywhere? === aqui1a is now known as Aqui1a [01:32] lol [01:33] all my gtk icons look like the gnome default, is there a way to change them? [01:33] also, all my applications in my previous session startup by default, how do i disable this "feature" [01:34] heinkel: you can only upgrade using the alternate CD, not the desktop Live CD version [01:34] how do I apply my KDE theme to my gnome applications, this is really frustrating [01:35] nejode: yes..or the dvd i assume [01:35] i have done this once before but memory is failing a little [01:36] i think the process is as follows> modify sources.list so dvd is sole source [01:36] then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:37] heinkel: in the DVD, can you see the debs in alphabetically arranged directories? [01:37] after that, enable the other repositories and sudo apt-get update [01:37] and sudo apt-get upgrade [01:37] should finish it [01:38] also, how do you install applications in kde? does kde have its own version of the add / remove application manager in ubuntu?

[01:41] nejode: answer is yes i can see the alphabetically ordered folders [01:41] uhh.... choose a different theme in systemsettings -> appearance [01:41] there should be a GTK section of the appearance thingy [01:41] you can make it force gtk apps to mimic the qt theme [01:42] nejode: if I understand correctly the method described on that webpage kicks off a somewhat graphic upgrading program [01:43] nejode: i want text-based, to get apt feedback when things go wrong [01:43] sudo do-release-upgrade [01:46] can someone tell me how to install and setup compiz in kubuntu? [01:47] heinkel: well man, sudo apt-cdrom add , comment out all other entries in your souces.list [01:47] *source3s.list [01:47] *sources.list [01:48] and sudo aptitude dist-upgrade... [01:49] but you should do sudo aptitude update first of course [01:49] I've never done it that way, just speculating [01:54] MsMaco: i cant find it under settings :( [02:00] m0u5e: is it 9.04 or 9.10? [02:00] 9.04 should have it [02:00] 9.04 [02:02] MsMaco: weird now its appearing... 6__6; maybe its something I installed [02:02] MsMaco: thx for the help :) [02:03] anyone know how Kubuntu 9.10 is shaping up?

[08:35] hello, i am new to kde, how do you get the taskbar to display only the windows of the current desktop according to which desktop divider you click on? [08:37] xsebsx: right click the task manager bar and find this option [08:38] xsebsx: ops, go to 'settings' [08:38] it's there. [08:42] eMyller: I can't find that [08:42] only options regarding to where the widgets are positioned [08:42] and where the taskbar goes and should it hide [08:42] xsebsx: these are the *panel* options [08:44] right click an empty area on your taskbar and go to "Task Manager Settings" [08:44] make sure you actually have a task manager in your panel. [08:46] eMyller: how do i make sure of that? [08:46] i mean [08:46] what's the difference [08:47] xsebsx: are you seeing any window entry in the panel? [08:47] i mean to talk about the wee bar horizontally set whereupon the k menu rests on its leftmost end [08:48] xsebsx: hit ctrl+f2 (to go to 2nd desktop) then right click and empty area on your panel, where the windows should be listed in. [08:48] xsebsx: then tell me what options you see [08:50] eMyller: that's my problem though, that no matter what desktop i'm on the windows remain listed leaving not that empty spot you speak about [08:50] ah, ok. got it. [08:50] so, follow this: [08:51] 1) unlock the widgets, it they're locked [08:51] click that button in the panel's corner, to access its options [08:52] widgets are already unlocked [08:52] 3) *hover* the windows list. you should see a little green arrow in the left side of the windows list. click on it [08:53] hmmm [08:53] left side? [08:53] now you might see those options i told you about [08:53] i got lost in the hover [08:54] xsebsx: hover the windows list with the panels options active. [08:54] it's a special viewing mode, that you can grab the widgets in the panel and move them around [08:55] you can also find this *very little* green arrow in every widget you hover [08:55] check if you find the task manager's one [08:56] i'm not talking about widgets here though [08:56] i'm talking about the horizontal bottom bar [08:57] there's a widget on it that shows the desktops [08:57] xsebsx: i know [08:58] xsebsx: did you follow what i said? [08:58] worked [08:58] thanks [08:58] np [08:59] xsebsx: did you go through the green arrow?

[13:34] hehehe nop, I haven't talked about anything like that [13:34] :) [13:34] maite, i have no "system" in my K-menu [13:35] I was just asking about a problem with the pcscd [13:35] favorites, apps computer recentlu used and leave [13:35] How do i shut off my pc in kde? i really cant find the shutuff option, not even restart option [13:36] norpan111: K > Leave [13:36] the thing is that when I execute "sudo pcscd -f", it works OK, but when I launch the daemon, doesn't work at all [13:36] shadeslayer, there is no "shut down" option [13:36] shadeslayer, ok there is now.. there wasnt yesterday lol [13:36] thnks [13:36] I actually can see that the process is running,... [13:37] but for reasons that I ignore, when I call pcsc_scan, complains about the daemon, not responding [13:37] shadeslayer, should i have "k-menu - system " ?? [13:37] I dont have that in m kmenu [13:38] who could I ask about this? [13:38] Try #WHY?! [13:38] If there is no... make one :d [13:39] :| [13:39] sorry [13:40] norpan111: Thats not helpful. [13:40] yeah, ok... [13:40] maite: You could try asking in #ubuntu as well, as this package doesn't seem to be KDE specific. [13:41] ok, I see [13:41] I'm on it... [13:49] <[-Haza-]> Hey folks Im trying to set my JAVA_HOME as a system variable (before i used to set it only for my user in the ~/.bashrc file). Am i right in thinking that i have to set the JAVA_HOME in /etc/.bashrc ? [13:50] <[-Haza-]> I need to set this as a enviroment variable as i have to load an application that requires the JAVA_HOME variable using sudo [13:50] <[-Haza-]> Thoughts? === io is now known as Guest25188 === ShiNobI is now known as Guest24013 [14:00] is there a guide to configure my wireless network in kubuntu 9.04 somewhere? [14:02] [-Haza-]: I think the difference between the two solutions is to set JAVA_HOME for all users or just for one user [14:03] [-Haza-]: it makes sense to do it in /etc/.bashrc if you want the superuser to see the JAVA_HOME [14:03] [-Haza-]: disclaimer: I am not an expert on this but... [14:04] <[-Haza-]> thomas___: Yeah, before i set it for a sinle user in the users home/.bashrc file [14:04] <[-Haza-]> that worked okay [14:05] <[-Haza-]> but as i said before i need it to be set as an enviroment variable so i can sudo and app [14:06] <[-Haza-]> For example.. i have to more my tomcat server over to port 80. Port 80 can only be binded by the superuser. tomcat requires the JAVA_HOME to be set... so sudo ./start (starting tomcat) returns an error stating that JAVA_HOME is not set :) [14:06] did something change in kmail (kde 4.3) last update that would be causing it to refresh all folders? [14:06] i am using disconnected imap [14:10] hiyas all [14:20] is there a guide to configure my wireless network in kubuntu 9.04 somewhere? [14:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 thomas___ [14:22] bazhang: thank you...reading now [14:24] bazhang: it does look a little bit hacksy, though [14:25] thomas___, its how to configure manually. [14:26] bazhang: yes, but I think my first attempt should be with the out-of the box solution. However it seems like it is no longer Knetworkmanager, so I need to figure out how to start correctly [14:26] thomas___, by out of the box solution do you mean the gui tools? [14:27] bazhang: yes [14:38] I just got four security updates, and now my wireless doesn't work. Is there anyway to fix this? [14:39] which network manager , Makuseru? [14:41] BluesKaj: "knetworkmanager" I wish I could use the old one, it worked so much better. This new one has given me nothing but problems. [14:43] Makuseru, what OS are you on ? [14:44] BluesKaj: Kubuntu 9.04. [14:45] are you on the widget-network-manager? [14:46] I wasn't aware there was a widget for knetworkmanager, I just use the one that lives inside the system tray. [14:48] Makuseru: thats the nm-applet from gnome [14:49] shadeslayer: What? [14:49] Makuseru: see the release notes for KDE 4.3 on kubuntu.org [14:51] hey guys if your bored try facebook zombies :D - http://apps.facebook.com/zombies/links.php?r=719927515&nref=st [14:52] shadeslayer: I don't see anything about the network manager there. [14:53] Makuseru: I think you are looking for plasma-widget-network-manager [14:53] Makuseru: This archive includes a new network manager application, run "knetworkmanager" (the Plasmoid is just a dummy currently). [14:54] That's what I am running. [14:54] it seems like i just figured out how to use it [14:54] It's what is giving me all these problems and not letting me connect to a wireless network. [14:54] shadeslayer: the plasmoid is not a dummy, is it? [14:54] thomas___: yes it is [14:55] brb [14:55] Is there no way to go back to the old network manager? [14:56] shadeslayer, what theme are uself using right now? [14:57] shadeslayer: there you go... i ripped out the network plug and reconnected through the 'dummy' plasmoid [14:57] norpan111: the same [14:57] which seems to substantiate my claim that it is not a dummy plasmoid [14:57] thomas___: :o [14:57] thomas___: its on the kubuntu.org site.... [14:57] shadeslayer, ok =) i think the color-scheme did not fit so well [14:58] shadeslayer, its was different darkness between window boarder and all the black inside the window.. [14:58] shadeslayer, if i choose the right colour-scheme that is.. [14:58] norpan111: its all about figuring what you want [14:59] So does noone have any information on how to fix these wireless problems? [14:59] shadeslayer...however I will not claim that it is the most informative widget , it is just a black dot on my screen [14:59] shadeslayer, im really really bad at that ;D [15:00] Makuseru: well, I just solved mine, but what exactly is your problems then?\ [15:00] thomas___: hehe,well i think all the backend is the same just the frontend was replaced [15:00] i googled and read quite a lot so maybe i have an idea [15:01] thomas___: Well when it upgraded to 4.3.00 my current network manager plasmoid said it could cause a system crash and that I should install "knetworkmanager" instead, so I did that, and now its just an icon that's in the system tray, and it won't connect to any wireless network. [15:02] Makuseru: I also found knetworkmanager disfunctional [15:02] I just upgraded to KDE 4.3.00 as well [15:02] however I did not get the warning you received, Makuseru [15:03] so I dared to use the plasmoid plasma-widget-network-manager [15:03] and I configured my WPA2 network [15:03] I have no clue how to do any of that. [15:03] and so far... 30 mins testing and counting, not crashed [15:04] And I tried to install that but apparently its already installed "plasma-widget-network-manager is already the newest version." I just don't know how to run it. [15:04] Makuseru: you are just where I was about 40 mins ago :-) [15:05] Makuseru: right click on the desktop > add element, plasmoid (or something like that, I am not using english version so not sure what the precise wording is) [15:06] from the list, find the network plasmoid icon [15:06] Makuseru: it looks like a graphitti N in blue color [15:06] That's the old one that changed when I upgraded. [15:08] is it? I just installed it an used it and it seems to work, as I told you [15:08] Makuseru: so proceed at your own risk [15:08] The icon when its in the panel changes, it's a cellphone, and when I hover over it it says "Network Management is changing, this is highly unstable and will crash your desktop. Until Further notice please use KDE4 knetworkmanager instead" [15:09] Makuseru: but I guess you know the rest of the drill then [15:09] And it doesn't behave like it use to, I have no settings for networks or anything, it appears to do nothing at all. [15:09] Makuseru: the behavior you describe is nothing like what I have observed, we may be looking at different versions or different systemss [15:10] When I right click on it instead of a menu dropping down like it use to I just get "network manager settings" and when I click that it just opens and tells me keyboard shortcuts === kavurt is now known as yukan [15:10] or different widgets alltogether, using the same icon... [15:11] I guess ill just have to go back to windows. [15:12] Makuseru, may i make asuggestion : try wicd network manager, it will ask you if youwant to uninstall the kdenetwork manager ..choose yes , then it proceeds to install wicd [15:12] BluesKaj: Alright, will try that now. [15:12] !info wicd | Makuseru [15:12] Makuseru: wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.9-2 (jaunty), package size 247 kB, installed size 1860 kB [15:13] I use it on all our linux machines [15:13] Ok, its installing now. [15:14] kmail is killing my server. anyone have a similar experience with the latest update? [15:15] Great, now its not finding any wireless networks.

And will it have fixes for the ridiculous state of wireless right now? [15:22] Makuseru: whatz ur wireless issue? [15:23] QuantumKaos: the last batch of updates broke my wireless, nothing even recognizes my network anymore. [15:23] yeah, sometimes u dont have to run all the updates [15:24] did u update the kernel or just the nm? [15:24] I updated what ever update manager told me to. [15:24] Whats the best Im client for kubuntu? [15:24] Kopete? [15:24] :O [15:25] norpan111: Pidgin [15:25] Makuseru: not empathy? the one thats coming with next release? 9.10 ? [15:26] Makuseru: it still puzzles me that our case should be so different, what kind of hardware and what kind of wireless network are you trying to connect to? [15:27] I am on a toshiba satellite U405-S2826, FYI - it is a laptop [15:27] thomas___: A bran-new HP laptop (AMD dual core, nvidia graphics, atheroes wireless chipset) And what do you mean what kind of wireless network? [15:28] Makuseru: I read some postings about problems for WPA2 support, but that is exactly what I have working right now [15:29] so the problem does not appear to exist anymore [15:29] I have Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [15:29] Well I've always had wireless problems, the first time I got it and installed ubuntu on it wireless didn't work, the second time I installed it did, and I haven't done anything to it since then since it worked and I didn't want to mess it up [15:30] But now these updates broke it. [15:30] And I really don't want to reinstall, or put windows back on it, but it looks like that's what im going to have to do. [15:34] Makuseru: can it be something related to the network card itself switching on and off?--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930667 [15:36] i got to gogood luck, [15:48] With Kopete can you set-up Buddy Pounces?

[23:20] yes [23:20] phh: i got problem with them,i guessed i may do sth with them if i know where are they done [23:21] i can mount them manually, but dolphin gives a strange error [23:21] oh, can't help on that [23:21] phh, anyway thanks [23:22] melomane: how do you mount them manually [23:23] apparle : sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/somewhere [23:23] and then i can use it [23:23] apparle: as i searched it seems its not sth related to karmic [23:24] melomane: then put the line in fstab and forget it [23:24] that's a way. [23:25] apparle: if i do this, does it open the drive when i click on its name in dolphin? or i have to manually browse for the folder which the drive is mounted [23:25] melomane: I mean just mount the device at startup so ...........dolphin doesn't hav to mount it [23:25] melomane: yes it will do [23:25] apparle: good, so i do thiis [23:26] apparle: but there is another problem [23:26] but you knwo how to configure fstab?? [23:26] apparle: yes to some extend [23:27] apparle: for my second hard disk, fdisk doesnt show details, bt dolphin shows every partion's label [23:27] apparle: how can i mount them? [23:27] do you see it by 'blkid' [23:27] melomane: I suggest you see this [23:28] !fstab | melomane [23:28] melomane: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [23:29] apparle: great thanks, i read tuxfiles before, but not the one at ubuntu community, i'll do that, and thanks for that command, never heard about that before, i always used fdisk [23:29] melomane: make sure you remove locale=en_US.utf8 from that ntfs line or you will get the same error [23:33] apparle: in fstab entry u mean? [23:33] yes [23:34] because as you said earlier you are getting error related to that locale... === io is now known as Guest69176 [23:35] melomane: another suggestion .........why don't try adding the user id 1000 to use that locale......I don't know how to this [23:49] hgjhjh [23:49] hola holaa [23:50] hola! :) [23:50] !es [23:50] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.
