[00:02] "The backend took too much time to process the synchronous request - you need to fork!" a message error inside KpackageKit [00:02] what does it means please [00:03] https://bugs.launchpad.net/packagekit/+bug/272410 [00:03] thank you :) [00:04] np [00:06] what can i use to install new software instead of KpackageKit? [00:07] apt-get [00:08] with graphic user interfacer? [00:08] -r [00:08] No, it is command-line [00:08] The normal usage is like: sudo apt-get install name-of-package-goes-here [00:09] and with gui what i can use? [00:09] synaptic? [00:09] or adept [00:10] kaddi: In this particular case I would agree with Adept/Synaptic [00:10] * kaddi prefers apt-get or aptitude though :) [00:10] thanks [00:11] i am building a new kubuntu for a girl who don't know how to use kubuntu [00:12] gui is better in this case [00:12] Adept then [00:13] it would be better in french :( [00:13] i have found adept but in english [00:19] synaptic is great [00:27] Any way to get the category list like in Synaptic in Kubuntu's package manager? [00:28] i don t know === amadorlinux is now known as arita === arita is now known as aarita [00:30] hi everyone [00:31] i have a question , am trying to download a large file off the internet is it worth my time creating a script , [00:31] such as php or perl [00:31] any advise ? [00:31] One file or a large collection? [00:31] one file [00:31] * genii sips and thinks about wget [00:31] large as in 10GB? [00:31] no [00:31] its only 70mb [00:32] ... just get it lol [00:32] be done in about 1 minute on broadband... [00:32] If dialup just let it go overnight [00:32] well am on wireless [00:32] the server disconnectes me [00:32] Do you pay $$$$/MB? [00:32] The server should support resume... [00:33] If not, I can get it and then send you it in a multipart archive. [00:33] also my other question is am running apache and tomcat6 together [00:34] Best thing is that the multipart archive tells you where the error is most times. [00:34] (MD5) [00:34] i will have to see what happens [00:34] You do an MD5 if it shows and error and I look at the MD5 signature of ones on my drive... and only resend that one. [00:35] i dont do md5 [00:35] Well anything... even CRC32 would work heh === derrick_ is now known as Derrick-Ums [00:55] help!!! [00:55] I'm so stupid!! [00:55] I had a few partitions on my hdd [00:55] well, that can't be helped, sory [00:56] sda1 was free, sda2 win, sda3 delted (no existing no more) and then there was entended thet was sda 4 swap and sda 5 [00:56] I now installed some opensolaris to sda1 only [00:56] it changed my grub, no more linux, I have no back up [00:56] bootet from live cd [00:56] you can edit the grub [00:57] and tell it to boot so where you want [00:57] and now gparted shoes: sda1 9,141 GB ext 2 solaris, 5 Mb unallocate, sda2 ntfs wind, and rest unallocated. [00:58] it does only show primary partitions but no longer the logical partitions they are marked as one block of unallocated - size fits [00:58] so it looks like the solaris installation removed the other partitions? [00:58] I'm soooooo dumb. I have no backup. [00:58] but solaris is ONLY on sda1 [00:59] it has not created a solaris partition where the logical ones where. it's still there the space, free but unallocated [00:59] PLEEEEASe tell me I can save that somehow - I will never again play around without having made a backup before [00:59] can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [00:59] hello [01:00] well, there is a software that can help you guess where exacly the partitions are. if you recreate them in exacly the same size, you lose no data [01:01] james147: http://pastebin.com/m4ffa4dcd [01:01] !gpart [01:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart [01:03] avihayb: that would be good. though difficult. I now in total it was about 15 GB - I recently changed from WIndows. And I used the big part - the ntfs for bigger files, so 15 was suffcient for linus (14 root and 600 swap, and I don't reeecall anymore) [01:03] how do you ask ubottu about a package? [01:04] i curse belenix (the opensolaris distro) it says it would destroy all data on THE ONE partition I tell him (sda1), not that my logical partitions will all be gone. [01:05] now that'S how i pay for my curiosity [01:05] james147: have you read my paste? [01:05] avihayb- !info [01:05] !info gpart [01:05] gpart (source: gpart): Guess PC disk partition table, find lost partitions. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1h-7 (jaunty), package size 35 kB, installed size 104 kB [01:05] Dragnslcr: thanks [01:06] avihayb: so I will only need to know approximately how big the partitions where and that pürogram will find the exact partition borders? [01:07] damn, the live cd is intrepdi still, so apt.get tells me there is no installation candidate [01:07] actualy, as far as I recall from the last time I used it, you needn't tell it anything, but that was years ago. oh, it also faild to find my partitions correctly, but atleast you have some hope now... [01:08] hmm [01:08] ok [01:08] but can i install it from within intrepid live cd? [01:09] sure, the live cd is an independent os [01:09] that happens to be runing from a read only media [01:10] yeah, but it says, no installation candidate for gpart [01:11] I belive it's in the universe repository [01:12] you'll have to enable it, and update the cache [01:12] "sudo apt-get install gpart" can't find any [01:12] ah, ok [01:12] will try synaptic then [01:13] does anyone know how to set wget to keep trying till its got the file downloaded [01:14] How do you change the default 1-click opens icons to double click behavior in KDE 4? [01:14] flaco: I understand you want a script to do it for you [01:15] lokai: it's in the system settings under mouse behaviour [01:15] lokai: system settings > mouse & keyboard > mouse [01:15] the problem is that the server that am getting files off closes the connect after an amount of time [01:16] installed kubuntu-desktop on two systems and now get this error after each update or installation of applications E: kubuntu-docs: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [01:16] any solutions? [01:16] James147, Not seeing system settings (of course the command line works). Where is the GUI launcher? [01:16] avihayb: I aktivated universe and multiverse. Updated, but it still finds no packages called gpart only gparted [01:16] did you mean that one? [01:17] no, I did not. !info gparted [01:17] lokai: It should be inthe menu, or systemsettings from commandline [01:17] updated=reloaded, right? [01:17] yes [01:18] James147, its not in the menu. I'm KDE 4 not 3. [01:18] lokai: systemsettings is for kde4 [01:18] then it's problably only in jaubty. Can'T download and burn it now, as I only have one cd drive and need it for the live cd [01:18] James147, If you noticed, I asked specifically for the GUI launcher [01:19] And I pointed out that I saw that the command line worked [01:19] the package should be in all the ubuntu repositories [01:19] I'm trying to set up the machine to be usable be a computer novice, so I'd really like to know where the little icon they can click is ;) [01:19] is their a way to upgrade to 9.04 kubuntu without a cd ? [01:20] lokai: by default on kubuntu it is in your favorites in the menu [01:20] James147, Ah I see it now. I was looking under applications/settings and system. [01:21] lokai: try typeing it in the search to see if it finds it, if not add it to the menu [01:21] lokai: :) [01:21] flaco: yes. you can either upgrade on-line or download the alternate cd, mount it without burning it, and upgrade from that [01:21] i tried that , [01:22] and? [01:22] i downloaded the cd , [01:22] and i mounted it [01:22] and nothing [01:22] Thanks, James147 [01:22] and i added the cd , [01:22] apt-cdrom add [01:22] and still nothing happened [01:22] the cd, contains a script [01:22] you need to run it [01:22] which script [01:23] go to the directory you mounted the cd in [01:23] i did that [01:23] ls around. there should be a script in the cd's root folder [01:23] i think i download the wrong cd , [01:24] cause when i mounted it their was no upgrade script [01:24] just a install.exe [01:24] that's the normal livecd, I guess [01:24] you need the alternate cd [01:24] ok where do i find it [01:24] flaco: why cant you upgrade online? [01:24] forget it i know where to go [01:25] cause my wirelss card sucks [01:25] it'S not there :-( no gpart, no testdisk [01:25] and it would take me days to download 700mb [01:25] flaco: no wired connection? [01:26] only wireless [01:26] i'll try with aonther live cd that's here. [01:26] thank you so far, avihayb [01:27] am thinking i can download a torrent which must be faster [01:28] that or install openssh on windows vista and connect to it via wireless ... [01:33] hey guys I chose obsidian theme on kde but the menu does not draw correctly http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/132551/Screenshot.png [01:33] I'm getting no sound from kubuntu hardy, don't know what to do [01:35] have you check if kubuntu found your sound card ? [01:35] have you ever gotten sound ? [01:36] I did have sound b4 but reinstalled and now there's no sound [01:37] did you update the system [01:37] yes I did (I also had this problem the first time and someone helped) [01:37] ok [01:38] on the taskbar do you see an icon for sound? [01:38] liz: Do you remember vaguly what you did the first time? [01:38] yes it's there, alsa mixer is installed [01:39] james147: not really, it was a series of commands and posting :-/ [01:39] lis, how bout runing lspci, and telling us what does your system think of your sound card? [01:40] *z [01:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/261231/ [01:43] It does identify my sound card and has the module snd_intel8x0 installed [01:43] I also have my whole alsa info script here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a6d38f2adaed83282bcc6032de6fc70ac149e0da [01:45] humm, can you go to system settings->multimedia? === Paddy_EIRE is now known as Paddy_NI [01:45] I don't have multimedia under system settings, have 'sound system' [01:46] does the intel card appeare there? can you test bouth it and pulse audio? [01:46] what version of kubuntu/kde you be runing ag'n? [01:47] no, just simple settings like enabling sounds and which audio device to use [01:48] do you have a test button, or something of that sort? [01:48] (it should just play some audio...) [01:49] ah yes, I don't hear anything [01:50] did you mark the "show advanced devices" checkbox, and then tryed al of them? [01:50] did you get any popup about any of the sound systems not working? [01:52] I tried all listed, OSS, auto, alsa, etc, no sound and no pop ups [01:53] I'm seeing a totaly different version then what you see. anyway, I'm clueless here [01:54] yes I'm using hardy [01:55] bugger [01:55] well, grab a pair of earphons, and try useing them [01:56] my mobile intel sound card, when I plug the earphons by deafult, assumes I'm connecting an extra pair of speekers because I want seround [01:57] to make it disconnect the main speekers, I have to edit a file, and restart the sound system [01:59] yes, the sound works with headphones but not on my speakers :( [02:02] well, I'd start by searching for solutions specific for your laptop, it's a bit of a long shot, but it's easyer and faster. then if that doesn't work, look for info on the specific card. [02:02] you can use this in your search term: Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [02:03] (after you try the laptop modle) [02:03] i need some help please. I am working in kubuntu 8.10 and can not get it to register my cd/dvd driver [02:04] oh, now that I think of it, did you go to the kmixer, went to the configure chanles, and marked EVERYTHING?

[02:15] i diditonce before in my other computer but can not remember the coding [02:16] wish I knew, need it for my other computer :) [02:23] any suggestions on this error E: kubuntu-docs: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [02:24] Hey guys do you know how i can monitor the temp of my macbook pro running 9.04? thanks [02:27] Can anyone tell me how to change my 'nickname' in kopete when I'm chatting to people; it shows my user account name. I can change other people's names but not mine as far as I know [02:30] MTGap_: its you nickname in "identity" settings, you might need to restart kopete to get it to work [02:31] yeah I have it as I want it but it still shows the account name [02:32] I've had it like that for a while but and have quit and it has stayed the same === jman is now known as JJman [02:42] duhi: yes, there are two ways I know of [02:42] avihay, thanks [02:43] except for looking in your proc folder's files with cat, you can either install and place a plasmoid that shows you a nice little graph, or you can use the system monitor [02:45] do you need/want specific instructions? and if so, what method do you want [02:50] help, I cannot import the scanner in eclipse === armand is now known as arif [02:55] Hello. Is anyone available to answer a question about mount/fstab? [02:55] what about it [02:56] I am using the "user" option in fstab, and I can indeed mount the filesystem in question, but it is owned by root and has perms 755, so I can't write to it. [02:57] you can use sudo to access root [02:58] and use chmod to change the file permissions [02:59] Yes, but I have other filesystems handled identically in fstab, and they are automatically owned by me when I mount them. I do not know why one filesystem is handled one way, and the other a different way even though their fstab entries are identical with regards to configuration options. [03:00] not an expert here but depends on who created the filesystem.. [03:01] system sets ownership permissions based upon who created the filesystem [03:01] jonska: look for the "The non-superuser mounts" section in the "mount" manpage [03:04] Thanks for the advice, will research more. [03:10] Does anyone know how to customize panels in KDE. I need to have the panel have a Task manager (the running apps) but only specific ones so that my main panel doesn't also show them. [03:10] jonska: what fs are you trying to mount? most file systems that don't support file permissions the linux way, have an option like umask, uid and gid [03:11] you can look it up in the mount manpage, and put that option into the fstab. [03:12] avihayb: I'm just trying to mount two reiserfs filesystems. They are configured identically in fstab, and the mount points are identical with respect to owner/perms, and the device entries in /dev are identical with respect to owner/perms, but when I mount one of the filesystems its mountpoint is changed to be owned by me, while the other one is owned by root and has its perms changed from 777 to 755 so that I cannot write to it. [03:12] JJman: can't you right-click on the panel and customize that way? [03:12] jjman: the taskman plasmoid has some filter features [03:13] no i've tried that [03:13] hmmm. filter. (cause i need to have 2 seperate task man's running in 2 diff. panels) but i want apps to run seperately out of each one [03:15] hmmm. the filter lets me only show apps from a certain desktop. which would almost work. but not quite. [03:15] its still showing apps thats are on other desktops [03:16] well, the only filters you can use are to only show processes from this desktop or screen(if you have a multiple screen setup, I guess) and show all [03:17] exxcept that it doesn't appear to be filtering properly. its not showing EVERYTHING but its still showing ones on diff. desktop. [03:18] whats the diff. . between desktop & screens neway [03:18] I think it's only aplicable in a multiple screens setup [03:19] well i'm running 4 desktops. so if the bloody filter worked properly it would be what i need to put the specific apps on different desktops [03:20] but its NOT filtering properly [03:20] Conectiva 10 ultimate [03:21] my Putty connections are showing up on all even tho they are on one desktop [03:21] debian [03:21] actually other that app the others do seem to be working [03:21] ^than^ [03:22] maybe the xfce4 panle (with the xfce task manager applet) can work better for you [03:22] mandrak 8.9 [03:22] it should work under kde too, I think [03:23] something i need to install i take it [03:23] Kurumin 2009 [03:24] qwebirc59201!i=42207a3e@gateway/web/freenode/x- [03:24] hello [03:24] Kurumin [03:24] hello [03:24] control [03:24] BUTUN [03:25] KUBUNTU [03:25] casa: QDos?

[03:31] avihayb : thx for the help I think i found a workable solution w/ filter and diff. desktops [03:31] avihayb: Can you help me understand why two filesystems (reiserfs) would be mounted with different owner/perms when they are configured the same if fstab? (auto,user,rw,exec)? [03:33] I'm afraid not jonska... havn't messed around with fstab enough to encounter that sort of thing. try it once with different mountpoints, maybe "it" will like it more [03:34] avihayb: OK - thanks for your help anyway. I appreciate your time. [03:34] I'm watching anime on the other computer... === Christian is now known as Guest7113 [03:48] i have a problem the reptor menu doesnt want to work rite unless i turn off compositing any idea why [03:48] is there a way to determine which of the other installed packages depend on a certain package? [03:49] specifically, I'd like to know what inside KDE depends on libpulse0 [03:50] Hirato: there are ways. the easyest, is to install synaptic, the package manager. it should tell you all of the information you need [03:50] on the libpulse package it'd tell me what libpulse0 depends on [03:50] I'd like to know what depends on it [03:51] you can also ask to remove the package with apt-get or sinaptic. you'll get a list of what has to be removed [03:51] *synaptic [03:52] avihayb: I don't have the patience to shift through 288 packages that libpulse0's uninstallation will trigger :P [03:52] Hirato, try to install with aptitude in the terminal, and the required dependencies should be installed alongside the app, if not the the required dependencies will be listed [03:52] where is network places in kubuntu as it is in ubuntu? [03:53] Hirato, then you can procede to install them as well [03:54] sory, I must have missunderstood you === stevie is now known as heHATEme [03:54] mostafa_, the repositories are the same for both gnome(ubuntu) and kde (kubuntu0 it's a matter of choice . [03:54] mostafa_: you can access it via the file manager [03:55] avihayb: then where should I go then to access it? [03:56] run the file manager of your choice. dolphin or konqurer [03:56] BluesKaj: I installed samba but i don't know where is places->network [03:56] mostafa_, open dolphin [03:57] yes network [03:57] ok i opened it then ? [03:57] BluesKaj: it's dependencies are already met, I'd want to know what has libpulse0 as a depdency [03:57] yeah thanks men [03:57] I found it [03:58] BluesKaj: Thnx ;) [03:58] Hirato, the only way i know is to try to to install it with apt or aptitude [03:58] avihayb: thnx ;) [03:58] BluesKaj: that'll only trigger the installation of the items which libpulse0 depends on, not the items which depend on it [04:00] oh... `aptitude why` does it [04:00] libpulse0 is obviously a dependency so you need to use aptitude [04:01] im running kde4.3 and im getting alot of crashed that say plasma desktop crashed [04:01] Hi there everyone [04:01] I'm about to dive into the whole Linux scene, and I've got a few questions... [04:02] !ask | Kingsley_ [04:02] Kingsley_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:02] Ahhh... ahaha okey doke :) [04:02] libxine1-misc-plugins... is the only thing that depends on libpulse0 [04:03] I was wondering how easy the GUI is to use, since I've been using a Windows OS all my life... 95>98>2k>XP>Vista [04:03] I'm downloading Ubuntu right now [04:03] that probably explains why I mcan't get rid of every single trace of pulseaudio without KDe going wiht it [04:05] Also... hows the driver support for Hauppauge TV Tuner cards? :/ [04:05] Kingsley_: well, kubuntu is a bit more like windows then ubuntu in some areas. [04:06] Kingsley_, as far as desktop enviromnents go KDE (Kubuntu) will be more familaiar for windows users (myself included ) , but it's mostly a matter of taste . [04:06] Ahh... so I should grab that instead? :) [04:07] Wait.. I am downloading that distribution... my bad.. ahaha [04:07] ubuntu is definetly clear and easy to use. Hauppauge TV tuner cards are suported. I'm guessing everything older then two years is fully suported [04:07] Kingsley_, afaik happauge cards have decent driver support in linux [04:07] Thats great to know... [04:08] I've been pulling my hair out over this old junker computer I salvaged.. [04:08] Whats the recommended RAM? [04:08] I've only got 256 mbs... lmao.. to work with here.. === heHATEme is now known as vorian [04:09] aha. same route I took ...old pc , seems good to experiment with linux , putting your toe in the water so to speak [04:09] then I'd recommend you go with something a bit lighter like xubuntu [04:09] Well I'll see how it runs I guess, and then format and try something else if its to much to handle [04:09] I'm runing kubuntu on a p4 1.5ghz with 512MB [04:09] agreed , unless you upgrade the ram [04:10] I'm just trying to get this computer as a dedicated TV using the old card I have [04:10] and it works, but it's not a smooth ride [04:10] and all my OS install discs (W2K, XP) are freaking out on me, and aren't working at all :( So I decided to jump head first into Ubunut :) [04:11] if you are gonna use the computer as a dedicated TV, you should get mythubuntu [04:11] Kingsley_, 256 is a bit optimistic on any OS for handling video [04:11] it's mythTV runing on xubuntu [04:11] mythTV is a PVR software [04:11] It was running 30FPS on some video resoloutions... :/ [04:12] and I've heard of MythTV [04:12] I'll google that [04:13] That seems to be the perfect route for me... I'll download that instead [04:13] what are the specs of your system? [04:14] I don't have it in front of me... :/ [04:14] Hey all [04:15] taking a guestimate here... probably 1.7ghz 256mb and this old old old NVIDIA integrated graphics card... not even an AGP removeable [04:15] mythtv , is a steep learning curve for a linux starter app [04:15] Well I've got time to mess around... and I'm pretty computer savvy :/ [04:16] Only 15 here... :P [04:16] I have an interesting situation I need help with. I had a motherboard blow out, and ended up getting a new one. It came with a vid card. so I am using my old card in another machine that needs it. Im on the livecd in safe gphx mode. How do I reconfigure the graphics on my install from here. [04:16] there is a mythTV chanlle here in freenod. some guys helped me alot [04:17] Kingsly I have to second BluesKaj's notion. MythTV is HARD to set up [04:17] Kingsley_, yup #mythtv [04:18] I'll try my best :P Not the end of the world of it doesn't work...ahaha [04:18] good luck. I gave up on it and found easier solutions [04:19] I looked in the ubuntu repositoris for an easyer solution for a while [04:19] I tryed everything that didn't need me to burn a CD [04:19] actually Kingsley_ , linux nowadays is for bleeding edge users , especially in medai applications and setups. Windows actually lags in flexibility im many ways vs Linux in the media despt [04:19] Well i'll be burning a CD for this one [04:20] I don't like the idea of a live CD... :/ [04:20] Wait.. that didn't make sense lmao [04:20] dept.... i'm getting tired ...it's late [04:20] I ended up writing a script for Azureus (Vuze) because it has a built in media center abillity that can stream to PS3 [04:20] sacktime [04:20]
