| sumo_su | isnt a tiny bit of cooruption normal? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Psi-Jack | To do this easily, just telinit 1, this will cut your network off too. | 00:00 |
| Psi-Jack | sumo_su: No | 00:00 |
| Psi-Jack | Corruption could be caused by a few things. | 00:00 |
| sumo_su | ok i'll google how to do that | 00:00 |
| Psi-Jack | Bad cabling, bad drive, or bad hdd controller. | 00:01 |
| Psi-Jack | Or lastly. | 00:01 |
| Psi-Jack | Bad filesystem. | 00:01 |
| Psi-Jack | I wouldn't touch ext4 with a 10-foot pole, personally. | 00:01 |
| sumo_su | on ntfs i'm used to have something like 2 corrupted file per year or so | 00:01 |
| Psi-Jack | xsebsx: Well? | 00:01 |
| sumo_su | Psi-Jack: ok no worries. no important data on the ext4 | 00:01 |
| Psi-Jack | Realy? | 00:02 |
| Psi-Jack | Like mount.ntfs-3g isn | 00:02 |
| sumo_su | hrhr yea sure... | 00:02 |
| Psi-Jack | Like mount.ntfs-3g isn't important to you, or most all of your software you run? | 00:02 |
| sumo_su | i thought ext4 was mature enough to install a linux to play with | 00:03 |
| Psi-Jack | xsebsx: I will assume you do not need help if you do not speak up soon. | 00:03 |
| Psi-Jack | sumo_su: ext3 is stable. ext4 went out of beta only a few months ago. | 00:03 |
| Psi-Jack | sumo_su: I personally only use ext3 for boot, and XFS for everything else. | 00:03 |
| sumo_su | i see | 00:03 |
| sumo_su | can i roll back to ext4? | 00:04 |
| sumo_su | ext3 | 00:04 |
| Psi-Jack | Unfortunately. No | 00:04 |
| Psi-Jack | It's not backwards compatible, only forwards compatible. | 00:04 |
| sumo_su | ok. well it has to stay till 9.10 i guess | 00:04 |
| Psi-Jack | Up to you. | 00:05 |
| Psi-Jack | Brace yourself for more potential problems like this though. | 00:05 |
| sumo_su | i bet i wreck the installation by fooling around before ext4 kills it | 00:06 |
| Psi-Jack | Did you originally make it ext3 and then start mounting it as ext4? | 00:06 |
| Psi-Jack | QuantumKaos: Just to say, 'I told you so." ;) | 00:07 |
| sumo_su | Psi-Jack: hmm i dont remember precisely... i selected it in some dropdown in the istallation process | 00:08 |
| Psi-Jack | Oh then no. | 00:08 |
| Pavel_ | can anyone help me with a plasma theme problem? (9.04/4.3) | 00:09 |
| QuantumKaos | Psi-Jack: just to say, u didnt solve up his prob, its going to reappear for sure cuz u didnt solve it at all, u put a patch on it, u temporarly solved it but this is not how its supposed to be | 00:10 |
| Psi-Jack | The problem he won't solve, the problem is filesystem corruption. | 00:11 |
| QuantumKaos | now i really have to go | 00:11 |
| Psi-Jack | That's the difference. | 00:11 |
| QuantumKaos | sumo_su: before to reboot, put back ur old fstab, but keep the one corrected by me and try it out if the problem reappears, and im telling u, it will | 00:11 |
| QuantumKaos | cu guys ;) | 00:12 |
| sumo_su | cu QuantumKaos | 00:12 |
| Psi-Jack | ifco | 00:12 |
| Pavel_ | whenever I use the 'get new themes' option in desktop settings, nothing of the theme really applies except | 00:19 |
| Pavel_ | for a mild color change in the plasma bars. | 00:19 |
| Pavel_ | ie glassified is just plain black. | 00:19 |
| avihayb | Any easy way to install kde3 in kubuntu? | 00:33 |
| bazhang | !kde3 | avihayb | 00:35 |
| ubottu | avihayb: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page | 00:35 |
| avihayb | thanks ubottu | 00:36 |
| avihayb | (and you too bazhang) | 00:36 |
| VoipJunky | I am liking dropbox on linux | 00:57 |
| VoipJunky | makes it easir to move files from desktop to laptop | 00:58 |
| xsebsx_ | Psi-Jack: sorry, computer got mightily stuck, you still there? | 01:01 |
| Psi-Jack | Yep | 01:01 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: dropbox? | 01:02 |
| VoipJunky | yeah dropbox.com | 01:02 |
| VoipJunky | food app | 01:02 |
| Mist__ | How do I get to look inside /boot/ on harddrive if I upgraded and grub tells me it cannot find the file for the kernel under /boot ? ^^ | 01:02 |
| VoipJunky | you get 2 gig of online storage and you can give friend links to files | 01:02 |
| Mist__ | and thus not boot .... | 01:02 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: Just 2gb? That's it? | 01:03 |
| VoipJunky | you can earn more by refering friends | 01:03 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: I got a better one. I'm getting 25 gb, and a full-scale "Web Operating System". | 01:03 |
| VoipJunky | upto 32 gig | 01:03 |
| VoipJunky | but this is free | 01:04 |
| VoipJunky | ost you nothing | 01:04 |
| xsebsx_ | ok, well here's the deal Psi-Jack, I have a sony ericsson w595 phone, on my other computer, the pc, i have harrdy and it works just fine when i plug the phone it detects it, but i recently installed jaunty on my laptop and it ddoesn't automatically mount the usb phonecard connection, so i went to this website http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975622&page=3 and it downloaded the tar files as instructed but then after that i got stuck, can you he | 01:04 |
| xsebsx_ | lp me | 01:04 |
| VoipJunky | ost/cost | 01:04 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: Exactly, mine's free too, and you start with 15gb free | 01:04 |
| VoipJunky | who and where url ? | 01:04 |
| Psi-Jack | http://g.ho.st/ | 01:04 |
| smocc | Ark does not extract rar files under any circumstances. (Neither via context menu nor inside Ark itself) - Unrar is installed to /usr/bin/unrar and /usr/bin/ is in my $PATH, what could be the problem? | 01:05 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: If you sign up, two two things, 1> refer erenfro as the referal, and the promo code, use launch | 01:05 |
| VoipJunky | doe it have a desktop app or do you have to login to the url everytime ? | 01:06 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: It can remember you every time you go there, so a simple click and go. | 01:06 |
| xsebsx_ | Psi-Jack: I think I'm doing something wrong regarding where to download the files to, and how to copy them | 01:07 |
| Psi-Jack | xsebsx_: Hmmm... Sony? Sorry. Anything Sony, I will not ever provide any kind of support for. | 01:07 |
| xsebsx_ | no no | 01:07 |
| xsebsx_ | read the thread | 01:07 |
| xsebsx_ | it's already detected by the system but it's not automatically mounted | 01:07 |
| Psi-Jack | xsebsx_: Yes yes.. Sony Ericson phone. I hear ya.. | 01:07 |
| VoipJunky | ahh well dropbox is a app that runs on you system | 01:07 |
| Psi-Jack | xsebsx_: It's a Sony product, and I refuse to help anything in regards to Sony, period. Sony is a company that needs to die. | 01:08 |
| VoipJunky | you dont have to use a web browser | 01:08 |
| xsebsx_ | the solution is already there on that htread but i don't know how to implement it | 01:08 |
| VoipJunky | but I will look into this | 01:08 |
| xsebsx_ | forget about the sony side of things | 01:08 |
| xsebsx_ | thisis an ubuntu to cellphone problem | 01:08 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: Yeah, I'm already up to 35gb. ;) If you sign up, and refer me, I'll get 40gb ;) | 01:08 |
| xsebsx_ | it hasn't happend only with sony | 01:08 |
| xsebsx_ | read the thread please | 01:08 |
| Psi-Jack | xsebsx_: It's a Sony product. | 01:08 |
| xsebsx_ | i truly need help | 01:09 |
| xsebsx_ | it has nothing to do with sony it has to do with ubuntu not deteecting phonecards from several different phones | 01:09 |
| xsebsx_ | all i need is to get this to automatically mount the device | 01:09 |
| VoipJunky | well if this was a xtem I could see running this | 01:09 |
| Psi-Jack | VoipJunky: Okay.. So, it's getdropbox.com not just dropbox.com | 01:13 |
| VoipJunky | ok sorry | 01:13 |
| heinkel_111 | xsebsx_: which phone? I just came into the channel | 01:13 |

| Psi-Jack | UIgh | 01:14 |
| heinkel_111 | and although it is 'unsupported' i am a little surprised at what i can do with it | 01:14 |
| Psi-Jack | It depends on nautilus? | 01:14 |

| Psi-Jack | Not for me. ;) | 01:14 |

| arash | hi ! i am trying to install firefox over my Kubuntu and there are millions of ways to do it as i searched. | 01:42 |
| arash | what is your suggestion ? I want to install it fast | 01:42 |
| bazhang | arash, 3.5? | 01:42 |
| arash | yes 3.5 | 01:43 |
| bazhang | !ff35 > arash | 01:43 |
| arash | i want it to be registered and default browser | 01:43 |
| bazhang | arash, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 01:43 |
| bazhang | arash, it will show up as shiretoko | 01:43 |
| arash | bazhang , what is shiretoko ? | 01:44 |
| arash | and when i open packet manager and search for firefoz there are tons there,but i simply dont know which to install | 01:45 |
| bazhang | firefox-3.5 | 01:45 |
| arash | your command i entered, and it says it needs to dowwnload 75 mB! | 01:45 |
| xsebsx | heinkel_111: can you help me mount the phone? | 01:46 |
| arash | there is not a simple firefox-3.5 , there are many with different endings | 01:46 |
| heinkel_111 | xsebx which phone, precisely? | 01:47 |
| heinkel_111 | model? | 01:47 |
| heinkel_111 | is it similar to mine? | 01:47 |
| xsebsx | its a sony ericsson | 01:47 |
| BluesKaj | bazhang, no it's officially called FF3.5 now | 01:47 |
| xsebsx | w595 | 01:47 |
| bazhang | BluesKaj, apt-cache search shows firefox-3.5 | 01:48 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , i was using the initials | 01:49 |
| heinkel_111 | xsebsx: did you try to turn it off and then connect it with usb? | 01:49 |
| BluesKaj | shiretoko is no more . that's what i mean | 01:49 |
| heinkel_111 | xsebx, when my phone was new i could not mount it but the problem was fixed in a subsequent update | 01:50 |
| bazhang | still have shiretoko in my apps menu, that is odd | 01:50 |
| heinkel_111 | of the kernel i belive.. | 01:50 |
| heinkel_111 | xsebsx: uname -r | 01:50 |
| xsebsx | let me try that heinkel_111 | 01:50 |

| mathay | Lord_Drachenblut: I have the same issue. | 01:51 |
| mathay | Lord_Drachenblut: I haven't done much research into it though. I'll check it out. | 01:52 |
| heinkel_111 | xsebx... when i plug the phone i need to select mode on the phone | 01:52 |
| BluesKaj | bazhang, have you done any updates lately ? :) | 01:52 |
| bazhang | BluesKaj, like clockwork :) | 01:52 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | i don't think 3.5 is official for *buntu untill 9.10 but i could be mistaken | 01:52 |
| mathay | Lord_Drachenblut: that is correct. It's still in the repos though. | 01:53 |
| BluesKaj | dump the FF repos if you have it and reinstall FF | 01:54 |
| heinkel_111 | xsebsx mass storage mode mounts the phone and the memory card on the phone as two separate usb entities for me | 01:54 |
| mathay | Lord_Drachenblut: this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7768729&postcount=23 | 01:54 |
| mathay | I may do that too. | 01:54 |

| ussher | the back and forward keys seam to pick a desktop at random and jump to it, then jump away straight away | 04:14 |
| ussher | I get a madd light show of flickering desktops before it settles on one | 04:14 |

| MehmetAli | hello. I am just starting linux and decided kubuntu. its downloading now. I choosed 64bit ver insteadof 386.. my question: does this make performance increase? | 04:34 |
| Dragnslcr | It might, but probably not enough to be very noticeable | 04:35 |
| MehmetAli | so what is the advantage of 64? | 04:35 |
| Dragnslcr | Unless you have more than 4 GB of memory, since that's pretty much the limit for 32-bit | 04:35 |
| MehmetAli | oh.. I remembered that I heard this. so under 4gb ram no point to use x64.. but its almost %50, so i wont cancel and turn 32. hoprfully wont have an issue. | 04:37 |
| zuz_ | anyone recomend an ftp program for kubuntu? | 04:37 |
| Dragnslcr | There used to be a problem with Flash not having a 64-bit version, but there may be one now | 04:38 |
| Dragnslcr | zuz_- Dolphin can do FTP | 04:40 |
| Dragnslcr | MehmetAli- pretty sure there is an amd64 package for Flash now. The bot says there is, but for some reason packages.ubuntu.com isn't working for me | 04:41 |
| zuz_ | oh yeah? cool ill try that | 04:42 |
| MehmetAli | also I am new those KDE GNOME. and just learned ubuntu and KBUNTU.. are they only graphical differencies or.. their package system is different too... ? | 04:42 |
| === gent is now known as southern_gent | ||
| coreyman | mehmetali they come with a few different packages like programs specific to kde and programs specific to gnome | 04:45 |
| Dragnslcr | MehmetAli- they use the same repositories, and KDE can run Gnome programs (Gnome can run KDE programs too), so it's more or less just graphical differences | 04:46 |
| MehmetAli | oh i see.. thanks for answering im so excited cant wait to kill windows 2nite:) | 04:47 |

| bhabalinux | hello | 06:41 |
| ussher | bhabalinux: hello | 06:52 |
| bhabalinux | is there anyway, I could set up dsl dialup in Kubuntu like in Windows? | 06:52 |
| bhabalinux | Hello ussher | 06:53 |
| ussher | bhabalinux: how is it set up in windows? | 06:53 |
| bhabalinux | I mean you have a connection setup and every time you want to connect to internet, you just use that connection.. | 06:54 |
| bhabalinux | in kubuntu, I have to go through sudo pppoeconf and i get connected after several tries | 06:55 |
| ussher | bhabalinux: i set up my internet connection a couple of years ago now and havent had to think about it since, it just works. probably cant help sorry | 06:56 |
| bhabalinux | ok | 06:57 |
| bhabalinux | thanks | 06:58 |
| bhabalinux | did you do it through terminal? | 06:58 |
| ussher | bhabalinux: as a thought could you put the connection details into a router then connect to the router through a lan, then the Lan could automatically come online when kubuntu does. | 06:59 |
| ussher | bhabalinux: if i had to do it again i would look at INTERNET->KPPP INTERNET DIAL UP TOOL | 07:00 |
| ussher | bhabalinux: it looks like it can store accounts with passwords etc. | 07:01 |
| bhabalinux | I couldn't do it using kpp | 07:03 |
| linuxson25 | Hi everyone | 07:25 |
| linuxson25 | Recently switched to the KDE desktop environment. Looks really cool | 07:26 |
| linuxson25 | Messed up my taskbar a bit....there anyway I can set it back to default, or restore it? | 07:26 |
| bhabalinux1 | rightclick taskbar and settings | 07:27 |
| linuxson25 | Had a look there, but it only gives you options to move and resize stuff. I closed a minimized window of a program I was running, and evrything just shifted to the left | 07:28 |
| linuxson25 | And now the whole taskbar is filled | 07:28 |
| linuxson25 | Or should I just close it, and create a new one? | 07:28 |
| bhabalinux1 | yo can drag the bars around | 07:29 |
| bhabalinux1 | what can you see in the taskbar? | 07:29 |

| linuxson25 | WIll do that....thanx | 07:30 |
| bhabalinux1 | I had the same problem a couple of days back | 07:30 |
| linuxson25 | Another thing though....kde desktop tends to crash a lot on me. Luckily I run guake terminal in the background which launches by pressing F12 | 07:31 |
| linuxson25 | What command would I use to kill, and then restart the kde desktop? | 07:31 |
| bhabalinux1 | I am not sure | 07:32 |
| bhabalinux1 | I had graphics problem and I deleted the driver and it worked | 07:33 |

| pawan | cant we install applications when using live cd | 07:39 |
| pawan | how to install dolphin on 7.04 live cd | 07:40 |
| linuxson25 | Ok....what is the correct way of restoring/regressing KDE desktop back to its first-run state? | 07:44 |
| bazhang | pawan, you wish to download dolphin for use on Ubuntu Feisty livecd? you can't install it perse, as it will disappear next boot of the live cd. Feisty is end of life; you had best get a more recent Kubuntu cd if you wish to use dolphin | 07:44 |
| pawan | i want to install for the current session is it possible | 07:46 |
| linuxson25 | !restore | kde desktop | 07:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about restore | 07:46 |
| pawan | i cant read hard disk in 7.04 | 07:47 |
| pawan | so want dolphin | 07:47 |
| bazhang | pawan, get a more recent liveCD | 07:47 |
| bazhang | pawan, Feisty is end of life and not supported | 07:47 |
| pawan | i have ordered it will take some time | 07:48 |
| pawan | i want some current solution | 07:48 |
| bazhang | pawan, additionally, that is Ubuntu not Kubuntu so doubtful it will fit in ram with all the dependencies | 07:48 |
| linuxson25 | Anyone here know of a server I can join in connection with cloning and restoring of Ubuntu/Kubuntu? | 07:49 |
| linuxson25 | Using remastersys or apton-cd? | 07:49 |
| bazhang | !clone | linuxson25 | 07:50 |
| ubottu | linuxson25: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 07:50 |
| linuxson25 | Thanx bazhang | 07:51 |
| bazhang | linuxson25, should you wish to remaster a livecd; /msg ubottu remaster for links | 07:51 |

| bazhang | linuxson25, which version of Kubuntu ? | 07:55 |
| Bitty_f00f | I don't believe there is a way to un-confuse a crazy synaptics touchpad in software. You just have to touch it carefully.. | 07:55 |
| pawan | how to read there contents | 07:55 |
| kidblooper | Bitty only problem is its a mini netbook.. no way to avoid it | 07:55 |
| linuxson25 | Hmmmmm......Actually Ubuntu, with KDE desktop environment | 07:55 |
| linuxson25 | Or am I wrong here? | 07:55 |
| bazhang | no, that is fine; you installed kubuntu-desktop presumably | 07:56 |
| Bitty_f00f | *Nod* | 07:56 |

| linuxson25 | And its very nice....like it a lot | 07:56 |
| linuxson25 | The whole desktop theme is pretty spiffy | 07:57 |

| bazhang | linuxson25, without more details its tough to say; do you have tons of widgets running? any error messages or such? | 07:58 |
| linuxson25 | Uhhhh....it gives an error 11 message when it crashes | 07:58 |
| linuxson25 | Cant remember what it says....will have to log back in that side, and mess around till it does, copy the text and pastebin it or something? | 07:59 |
| bazhang | linuxson25, that would be most helpful yes | 07:59 |
| linuxson25 | But its actually just a general error message, letting you know that the kde desktop has crashed. Sometimes it restores....and sometimes it doesnt | 08:00 |
| linuxson25 | But I will do that | 08:00 |

| apparle | what's the diffrence between a kde app and a qt app | 14:24 |
| Dragnslcr | A KDE program uses KDE libraries (which use Qt). You can have programs that only use Qt libraries directly and don't depend on KDE | 14:29 |

| vinnl | (I'm not on 9.04, but want to upgrade... However, it pulls in a lot of packages I don't want so I want to know why it does that) | 14:41 |
| llutz | vinnl: |fusion-icon | 14:42 |
| Dragnslcr | apparle- because KDE uses Qt, and Gnome uses GTK | 14:42 |
| vinnl | llutz, ah, that explains, thanks :) | 14:42 |

| Ipse-Dixit | "System policy prevents mounting internal media" | 18:23 |
| Ipse-Dixit | hello, could anyone help checking whatz wrong with my fstab? here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/257037/ i compiled it myself, everything works but one of my hd, whenever i want to open it, it says "System policy prevents mounting internal media" then i have to type the pw and i can get in, how can avoid that? thanks | 18:23 |
| redstar13 | it works thx! But I stay here too because I want to talk english :) | 18:23 |

| redstar13 | Another thing, I installed GDE on my computer using kde (to switch sometimes.) but how to uninstall Gnome softwares? | 18:25 |
| jimmy51_home | amarok confuses me these days | 18:26 |
| waltzingalong | redstar13: you can remove software through any of the package managers; adept, synaptic, aptitude, ... | 18:26 |
| jimmy51_home | i can get it to play a song if i click on the song in dolphin, but subsequent clicks on songs (when it's already open) are futile. | 18:26 |
| Ipse-Dixit | waltzingalong: no, incredibly the ntfs are automounted thanks to the fstab i compiled, the prob is the ext3 one, it wont automount it and whenever i want to open it, it says "System policy prevents mounting internal media" then i have to type the pw and i can get in, thatz what i dont understand | 18:26 |
| redstar13 | waltzingalong: I do this but it isn't fast. Thx anyway | 18:27 |
| waltzingalong | Ipse-Dixit: not sure, because of the uid and gui options? | 18:27 |
| Ipse-Dixit | waltzingalong: dunno man, the uid is the right one i copied it from the output of a command in bash, the gui options what u mean? | 18:28 |
| Ipse-Dixit | waltzingalong: indeed when i type the pw i can get in, if there was something wrong it wouldnt let me in afterall | 18:29 |
| waltzingalong | uid,gid, i meant | 18:29 |
| waltzingalong | Ipse-Dixit: wrong permissions on the mount folder? | 18:29 |
| Ipse-Dixit | waltzingalong: this could actually be, im not good in permissions, how do i check that? | 18:30 |
| James147 | Ipse-Dixit: why do you need to set the uid and gid? | 18:31 |
| waltzingalong | Ipse-Dixit right mouse click on the folder in dolphin, properties, permissions | 18:32 |
| Ipse-Dixit | james147: i had to in order to make my hd's automounted at each boot | 18:34 |
| Ipse-Dixit | waltzingalong: i confronted the permissions, advanced included, of the ext3 which is not automounting with the other ones and they're exactly the same, i dont get it | 18:35 |
| jado | hi i have a dns problem i can ping the ip's but not the domain names | 18:35 |
| James147 | Ipse-Dixit: what does "sudo mount -a" say? | 18:36 |
| redstar13 | does anyone know an irc chan to talk about informatic (generaly)? | 18:37 |
| Ipse-Dixit | James147: mount: mount point /media/archive does not exist (archive is the gui name of the hd in question) | 18:37 |
| James147 | Ipse-Dixit: Suggest the folder dosent exist.. try creting it, "sudo mkdir /media/archive" | 18:38 |
| Ipse-Dixit | James147: i think i got it, let me try something, i'll brb to let u no | 18:40 |
| patricrawley | hi, I'm having issues compiling plasmoids from source | 18:46 |
| James147 | patricrawley: what issues? | 18:46 |
| patricrawley | i get through the cmake command with no issues then I try make | 18:47 |
| patricrawley | and it always gives me errors, no matter what the plasmoid is | 18:47 |
| agilman | Hello, I installed kubuntu last night, and played around with it. I set up a bunch of widgets and didn't like how stuff looked. So I went to session configuration and checked 'start new session' instead of resuming previous one. Now KDE/plasma don't start right | 18:47 |
| agilman | for example, I don't get a window around apps I open | 18:47 |
| patricrawley | james147:make[2]: *** [applet/CMakeFiles/plasma_applet_smooth-tasks.dir/plasma_applet_smooth-tasks_automoc.o] Error 1 | 18:48 |

| patricrawley | make: *** [all] Error 2 | 18:48 |
| James147 | patricrawley: givve me the output of both cmake and make at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ | 18:48 |
| agilman | and lots of other weird things. My question is, can I dpkg-reconfigure something, and start afresh? | 18:48 |
| James147 | agilman: config files for kde (and palsma) are stored in $home/.kde try renaming that to reset plasma to defaults | 18:50 |
| agilman | I removed .kde, but it still doesn't work right | 18:50 |
| agilman | heh | 18:50 |
| James147 | agilman: did you remove it then logout? | 18:50 |
| patricrawley | james147: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/257058/ | 18:51 |
| agilman | I went to tty1, removed, then ran /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 18:51 |

| Ipse-Dixit | alright i was finally able to set the fstab right, now the only thing is when i look for this ext3 hd under "root > media" it doesnt appear with its name like the other ones, but it appears as "disk" and if i try to rename it it wont let me, any idea? | 19:40 |
| James147_ | Ipse-Dixit: sounds like kde is auto mounting it, disk is noramlly given to volumes that kde auto mounts that dont have a label | 19:42 |

| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: an hour left of *work*, that is. | 21:02 |
| kaddi | I thought so ;) | 21:02 |
| ign0ramus_work | but i am having problems with my Folder View ... (KDE4.3) | 21:02 |
| kaddi | oh no :o | 21:03 |
| kaddi | what is(n't) it doing? | 21:03 |
| ign0ramus_work | I set it to Not Show Previews and guess what it does... | 21:03 |
| kaddi | hehe... it totally ignores what you're trying to tell it :p | 21:03 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: yup, and so every time I'm mousing over an icon on the Desktop (Folder View), it starts opening that window, and god forbid there's a directory within a directory, and now I have 3 or 4 windows of previews open | 21:04 |
| kaddi | ah :/ not good. | 21:04 |
| ign0ramus_work | I don't want any previews, but nothing I do prevents the preview window from popping up. | 21:05 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: are you able to replicate this issue? | 21:05 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: I'll test it on karmic.. I'm still on kde 4.2 here | 21:05 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: OK, i'm using the 4.3 supplied by Backports | 21:06 |
| kaddi | the most amazing thing is that hibernate actually works, and yes I can reproduce that.. preview gets created no matter whaat | 21:08 |
| alan___ | What app do you use in Kubuntu as P2P downloader? | 21:08 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: that's what i thought :( | 21:08 |
| ign0ramus_work | alan___: ktorrent works well | 21:08 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: it works without preview in kde 4.2 though | 21:09 |
| alan___ | I mean, like eMule | 21:09 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: yeah, that's what bugs me. | 21:09 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: which is weird because there preview is enabled, lol. | 21:09 |
| ign0ramus_work | alan___: never used eMule, but Frostwire works... | 21:09 |
| alan___ | Ok, thx! :) | 21:10 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: for some reason, the preview animations eat a lot of cpu for me too. I'm sure they shouldn't, but I wonder if its a KDE issue, or just not having proper Intel Graphics drivers... :? | 21:11 |
| WayneC | hi all | 21:15 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: I just checked with small folders.. added my windows partition now and I do get spikes up to 90/100% of CPU | 21:16 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: actually I think it just froze on the system32 folder | 21:16 |
| kaddi | heya WayneC :) | 21:16 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: ouch :S | 21:16 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: it's back :D | 21:17 |

| WayneC | i am a tad peved at my self i forgot my admin password for my listing | 21:17 |
| kaddi | but that's my 6 year old laptop, so I would expect it to need a little more resources | 21:17 |
| kaddi | yes, with intel | 21:17 |
| WayneC | i am the admin of ubuntu-wa-au | 21:17 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: I wonder if that's part of the problem | 21:17 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: I couldn't compare, I only own stuff with intel graphics, but they sure have been causing a lot of problems | 21:18 |
| kaddi | WayneC: you can reset your password easily, I just need to check the command.. (we're not ignoring you ;) ) | 21:18 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: The animations probably wouldn't bug me so much if they they opened and closely smoothly and quickly, but they most certainly do not do that. | 21:18 |
| WayneC | at the moment i havent got ubuntu on my comp i have win | 21:19 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: they do for me if there are less then a 100 objects in said folder. I used the system32 as a test, as it has many small files in it | 21:19 |
| kaddi | WayneC: sorry I must have misunderstood you, which password are you missing? | 21:20 |
| WayneC | my admin pw was on my old hdd witch unfortunatly got fried ie whant dead | 21:20 |

| ign0ramus_work | johanSB: as a frontend to APT? Even though it is gtk, Synaptic is probably the best. | 21:27 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: what are you using to show running programs? I've been switching between fancytasks, stasks and the default taskmanager, but none really are to my liking.. you know of others? | 21:27 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: i've just been using the default taskmanager. I still don't like the lack of customization on the kde4 panel... I'm sure it will come, but you still can't even resize panel icons! | 21:28 |
| johanSB | Thankyou ign0ramus_work, how can i launch synaptic? | 21:28 |
| ign0ramus_work | johanSB: first you have to install it: "sudo apt-get install synaptic" ... then, you can find it in your menu or use "kdesudo synaptic" to launch it. | 21:29 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: well stasks allows you to change the size of the icons of running programs, but in general it's not possible. I also noticed, when using the digital clock the chosen font only applies to the time. If you add a date this will be displayed in the system font, not the chosen font | 21:30 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: yup... noticed the same thing. I know they're working on a lot of bugfixes and stuff, but the customization is nowhere near what I've come to expect from KDE | 21:31 |
| johanSB | ign0ramus_work: Thank you, I'm installing it. | 21:32 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: hehe, but in their defence, I tried to change the date format in gnome the other day.. that is simply not possible via gui. You select a language and you use it's settings. KDE offers nice options in systemsettings to set everything differently :) | 21:32 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: oh no question, even a half-broken kde 4.0 gave more options than the default GNOME, but it really seems like the amount of customization and options don't seem to be a big priority :( | 21:33 |
| WayneC | thanks | 21:33 |
| WayneC | email sent | 21:33 |
| kaddi | :) | 21:33 |
| WayneC | i brb | 21:34 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: I haven't really checked out kde 4.3 yet. I really only installed karmic on my old pc and see if it started (which it didn't at first) but now it's mind blowing.. it runs on less than 200Mb here and CPU usage is usually low as well. On Jaunty I'm usually close to a Gig, when everything is running :( | 21:36 |
| kaddi | I suppose they definitely did some improvements there and from what I heard 4.3 finally features different backgrounds for different desktops without a hack and similar stuff | 21:37 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: do you know in particular, what may be causing the difference? | 21:37 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus_work: not really, no. | 21:37 |
| kaddi | gotta run | 21:37 |
| kaddi | sry | 21:37 |
| ign0ramus_work | kaddi: bye! | 21:37 |
| kaddi | I'll be back in 3 hours, in case you'll still be there ;) | 21:37 |

| Michiel_H | Hi. I need some help with a Kubuntu laptop. I have recently upgraded the system. That also meant upgrading from KDE 3 to KDE 4. Since the upgrade, NetworkManager will no longer connect to wireless internet. It can see the available networks, but choosing one and providing the correct password does not work. This goes for both the new Network Manager widget and the old KNetworkManager. | 21:38 |
| Michiel_H | Could someone help me out? | 21:38 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: What kind of encryption are you using? | 21:38 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: WPA-personal | 21:38 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: hmm... that should work, but NM has been known to be a little funky with WPA. Can you connect if you turn off encryption (temporarily, of course)? | 21:39 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: I haven't tried. Although it has no trouble with eth0. If you believe it will help, I'll turn the encryption off and try. | 21:40 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: yeah, i mean it's worth a shot. and it will rule some things out if it does connect. | 21:40 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: also, I'm just not a big fan of NM in general (too flaky), and I use wicd instead. Usually it's one of the first things i install on a fresh install. | 21:41 |
| ign0ramus_work | wow. the factoid for network-manager only applies up until Gutsy... maybe time to update? | 21:44 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: Ah, the Network Manager widget can connect if the network has no encryption. | 21:47 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: Well, the widget tells me it has connected, but I cannot visit any websites... | 21:47 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: does a ping or apt-get update work? | 21:48 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: When I changed the encryption, the internet was dropped for a while. :p But yes, without encryption, the laptop can connect. | 21:48 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: Then it seems to be due to the flakiness of NM and WPA. I haven't used it in a while; see if there are any special new options for WPA. Else, I'd just install wicd and not have to give it a second thought with WPA or otherwise :) | 21:49 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work, A bit silly, since it worked fine before the upgrade. It also works perfectly on my Gentoo laptop, and that one's bleeding edge. | 21:50 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: I agree that it is silly, but I have spent entirely too many hours in this very room with this problem occurring over and over. You are right in saying that it should work. But in many cases, it doesn't. | 21:51 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: This is my parent's laptop and it just needs to 'work'. So if wicd will work, that's fine. But I have no experience with it. Is it easy to install/configure? | 21:52 |
| === liberfiasco is now known as libervisco | ||
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: very. http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ | 21:55 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: I'm currently installing it. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks. | 21:56 |
| ign0ramus_work | Michiel_H: it's in the repos, and installing it will remove network-manager and the widget. sorry, i had to look busy for a moment :P | 21:56 |
| ign0ramus_work | w00t! 5:00 here. See you guys later :P | 21:59 |
| Michiel_H | ign0ramus_work: It seems the package manager isn't smart enough to first download wicd, and only then deleting network-manager. | 21:59 |
| Michiel_H | Ah, too late. :-) | 22:00 |
| Michiel_H | Can anyone else help me? Without network-manager or wicd, what's a temporary way to get internet through eth0, so I can download wicd? | 22:00 |
| Michiel_H | Thanks. | 22:00 |
| Dragnslcr | Michiel_H- I just had that problem myself yesterday | 22:01 |
| Dragnslcr | Open up /etc/network/interfaces as root | 22:02 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Done. | 22:02 |
| Dragnslcr | auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp | 22:02 |
| Dragnslcr | Add those two lines to the file | 22:03 |
| it-39 | hello | 22:03 |
| Dragnslcr | Then do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 22:03 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" | 22:05 |
| Michiel_H | Hm. | 22:05 |
| Dragnslcr | Oh, was there already a line there about eth0? | 22:05 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Nope. | 22:05 |
| Dragnslcr | Did you put those on two separate lines? | 22:05 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Yep. | 22:06 |
| Dragnslcr | Weird | 22:06 |
| Dragnslcr | Run ifconfig. What does it list for interfaces? | 22:06 |
| avihayb | Michiel_H: can you not set it up with ifconfig and dhclient? | 22:06 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: My fault! I copied your second line incorrectly. | 22:07 |
| Dragnslcr | Heh, not being able to copy/paste makes it harder, doesn't it | 22:07 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr, avihayb: Still no internet, though. | 22:07 |
| Dragnslcr | Check ifconfig | 22:07 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: It shows eth0. | 22:08 |
| Dragnslcr | Does it list an IP address for it? | 22:08 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: It shows an inet6 address. | 22:09 |
| Dragnslcr | Should be the second line, starts with inet addr | 22:09 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Second line inet addr shows 127.0.0.1 | 22:09 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: That doesn't seem right. | 22:09 |
| Dragnslcr | For eth0? | 22:09 |
| Michiel_H | Yep | 22:09 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, that isn't right | 22:10 |
| === z is now known as Guest12696 | ||
| Dragnslcr | Does ifconfig list lo? | 22:10 |
| Michiel_H | That info was in the interfaces file. Should I have removed those lines? | 22:10 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Yeah, it shows lo. | 22:10 |
| Dragnslcr | Is the address for lo 127.0.0.1? | 22:11 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Yes, | 22:11 |
| Dragnslcr | Hm | 22:11 |
| it-39 | i have installed kde 4.3 now need to configure a second monitor on my ati hd2600 is possible? sorry for my bad english! i'm italian user | 22:11 |
| Dragnslcr | Your interfaces file should look something like this- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/257156/ | 22:12 |
| avihayb | it-39 : does the usual way (the system settings applet) work? | 22:12 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: It's solved. You don't want to know what I did wrong. ;-) Ok, I'll tell ya. There was still a second typo in that second line. | 22:13 |
| it-39 | not work :( | 22:13 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: I must be tired. | 22:13 |
| Dragnslcr | Hehe | 22:13 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Thanks a lot! | 22:13 |
| Dragnslcr | It's always the obvious stuff | 22:13 |
| Dragnslcr | No problem | 22:13 |
| Michiel_H | Yes it is. | 22:13 |
| Dragnslcr | It could have been worse. You could have forgotten to plug in the Ethernet cable | 22:13 |
| Dragnslcr | That's bitten me a few times | 22:14 |
| Michiel_H | Dragnslcr: Well, in my sleep-deprived state I'm capable of anything. Even that. But in this case the cable was firmly connected. ;-) | 22:14 |
| Dragnslcr | Hehe | 22:14 |
| it-39 | avihayb the applet see only one monitor | 22:14 |
| avihayb | have you restarted x-server since you pluged the monitor? | 22:15 |
| it-39 | yes i have restarted a pc | 22:16 |
| it-39 | where is the xrandr command for add a second monitor left to monitor number one? | 22:18 |

| apparle | plz suggest how to connect to google talk using port 443 | 23:26 |
| James147_ | aqui1a: read somewhere that you need to reinstall flash could try that | 23:26 |
| aqui1a | Should I uninstall it first then? | 23:26 |
| James147_ | aqui1a: best bet | 23:27 |
| aqui1a | Okie doke ;) thanks | 23:27 |

| James147_ | aqui1a: in konsole, or terminal.. or what ever command line program you have type "sudo aptitude pruge flashplugin-installer" then when thats finished "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer" | 23:31 |
| aqui1a | Very helpful, thanks a lot James | 23:31 |
| apparle | aqui1a: wati | 23:32 |
| apparle | aqui1a: wait | 23:32 |
| apparle | its purge and not pruge | 23:32 |
| James147_ | opps yeah | 23:33 |
| aqui1a | lol Yeah hehe figured that out when the warning came up :) tx | 23:33 |
| James147_ | apparle: try the hotot i linked just use the port you need instead, not sure if it will work but worth a try | 23:33 |
| James147_ | howto^^ | 23:33 |
| apparle | it doesn't work | 23:36 |

| Dragnslcr | apparle- you can only connect to a Jabber server on ports that it's listening on | 23:42 |
| aqui1a | I've tried Firefox, Konqueror, and Opera. The sound in Flash works in none of them | 23:43 |
| James147_ | Dragnlcr: http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=27930 - look like it listens on 2 ports | 23:43 |

| heinkel_111 | which repositories are present on the kubuntu dvd? | 23:54 |
| Dragnslcr | There's a known issue with Flash and (I believe) pulseaudio. I usually ran into it with Amarok, so that might be the first one to try closing | 23:54 |
