alokitomy nokia 5200 is turning off everytime I try to connect it to the internet with kubuntu karmic alpha6's network manager03:28
alokitowhy is it happenning?03:28
alokitokppp is working fine, but I want to use the default kubuntu network manager03:29
jsubl2when you install alphas you have to be prepared to chase down a bug03:29
alokitojsubl2: hmm ok but Im not having any other problem, just this03:30
jsubl2i dont have any experience with that kinda config... so i have no idea03:31
alokitokde has improved a lot, many new features in plasmoid and other apps :)03:31
alokitojsubl2: im using a 2g edge connection03:31
jsubl2yeah it is lookin better.. not convinced it is the 1 yet. still playin and testin03:31
jsubl2dissapointed with kopete and no webcam.03:32
jsubl2so is that edge workin for ya03:32
jsubl2what kinda thruput03:32
alokitojsubl2: is there a difference between direct kubuntu installation and kubuntu-desktop package installation from gnome?03:32
jsubl2i like to see the grandkids with the webcam.03:32
alokitojsubl2: yah I can connect it with kppp03:33
jsubl2not sure but i would think they would be close03:33
alokitojsubl2: I installed kubuntu-desktop in jaunty but it looks different from kubuntu karmic03:33
jsubl2i am kinda new to kubuntu.. yahoo cutoff the old protocols for kopete so we had to move to a newer distro.... was on debian stable03:34
alokitodonno if it has changed in karmic or kubuntu-desktop pack is different from original kubuntu03:34
jsubl2yeah the first thing i change is the looks anyway03:34
jsubl2if the apps are there and work. that is what i would be concerned with03:34
jsubl2aptitude search kubuntu    see if you see anything else you might need03:35
alokitoi used gnome before but now im settled in kde, since kde4.0 release03:35
P_KableHi there, I'm having an annoying hang at every shutdown. It says: setting advanced power management level to 0x8003:35

jsubl2i see problems shutdown also.. i logout and then shutdown from kdm and it seems to work better03:36
P_Kablealokito: thanks I try that right now ;)03:36
alokitoadd this beside ur boot entry: acpi=off03:36
jsubl2alokito: what if you are a laptop03:36
jsubl2added it right after splash03:37
alokitojsubl2: I used it in my old laptop, it runs on dc power though03:37
jsubl2ok so maybe it is safe03:37
jsubl2kubuntu-desktop kubuntu-kde4-desktop03:38
alokitojsubl2: kubuntu-desktop now installs kde4 by default03:39
jsubl2awwwwwwww03:39

harolddongyes04:29
ncfi1013_nice can u help me?04:30

ncfi1013_what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router? and i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol.04:30
harolddongname it kopete04:31
harolddongduh04:31
ncfi1013_i did that but its asking for the application name like gaming names04:32
ncfi1013_theres nothing even resembling an im name in the list04:32
ncfi1013_oh and are the tcp and udp ports the same port number?04:33
harolddongsee if you can get pidgin installed and talk to me there04:34
harolddongand no they arent04:34
harolddongI dont think "port forwarding"is really what you want to do. you just want to open ports04:35
harolddongso youare probably in the wrong place in your router control panel. that is the first problem. I remember we went through this same thing before04:35
harolddongsecondly, kopete itself doesnt really any ports that need to be opened.  its the protocols themselves, like aim and yahoo.  I told you this is a txt message the other night04:36
ncfi1013_pretend im a newb and have some compassion ha ha04:36
harolddongthat's what I'm doing04:37
harolddongbut you're still not getting it04:37
ncfi1013_yeah i remember so why doesnt it work perfectly like it has before? does have anything to do with needing to upgrade kde?04:37
harolddongcan you get pidginn installed?04:38
ncfi1013_what am i not getting? what am i not doing right or wrong or overlooking?04:38
harolddongwell I explain this stuff to you and the next day you're asking me the same questions or in the exact predicament. its like groundhog day04:39

skierpageI installed Quicken 2008 using Wine in Kubuntu 9.04, and I have an item in KIckoff for it.  How do I find the command line corresponding to that Kickoff entry?  Is it in a .desktop file somewhere or a .kickoff menu structure?06:00
skierpageIt's not in ~/.kde/share/config/kickoffrc  ...06:01
skierpageC'mon, Windows Start menu has RIGHT-click > Properties > General tab that shows you the exec line.06:03
skierpageskierpage, You can't usefully right-click on an item in Kickoff, but right-click its 'K' icon, choose Menu Editor, then navigate mindlessly around until you find the item in a category, then choose it and see the Command line for it, in this case ' env WINEPREFIX="/home/skierpage/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Quicken\qw.exe" '06:06

Assurbanipalis it actually working now??because all my efforts in the past were waste of time :(09:37
James147Assurbanipal: not sure, but improvments are made all the time, I havent tryed it in ages so I can say...09:37
James147Assurbanipal: The other thing I was looking into was to sync my PDA to google, then sync google to my computer(s) but havent really looked into it yet09:38
Assurbanipali just need my contacts to synchronize....it's a pain in the ass...09:38

Assurbanipali have switched to ubuntu for about a year on both my laptop and pc and this is one of the biggest annoyances i find... i can't say i miss windows just for that, but is a big problam for me because i exchange personal details with many people all the time and need to have them synced...09:42

gentobuntuI can see other machines from this kubuntu 9.04, but other machines cant see shares from this machine. Is there a FIREWALL blocking sharing or what?10:48
gentobuntuWhy does /etc/samba/smb.conf  make any difference, not even a warning when I put something wrong to it?10:49
James147gentobuntu: I would make sure samba is useing the same workgroup10:49
Idhanis there any way that the plasma widgets appears only when I push control-f12?? and always in the background of my desktop??10:51
jussi01is there a way to give openoffice a different theme than everything else?10:51
James147Idhan: in kde 4.3 you can have seperate dashboard widgets, so when you push crtl + F12 different widgets will appear, you can configure by zooming out of the desktops (from the cashew) the click configure plasma -> check use seperate dashboard10:53
James147Idhan: from what you said you can have no widgets on the desktop, and place widgets on the dashboard so that they appear when you press ctrl+f1210:54
gentobuntuJames147: It is the same workgroup, here is the conf, it works on Gentoo server like that, http://pastebin.com/d196ac9a210:54
James147gentobuntu: see if you can access it from the computer thats hosting it10:55
gentobuntuJames147: No. smbtree -does not show any shares, its like /etc/init.d/samba -service does not even read the smb.conf ??10:57
James147gentobuntu: As far as I can tell there isent anything wrong with the config10:58
gentobuntuJames147: smbtree does show shares from other machines..10:58
gentobuntuJames147: No hyvä kun tuo graafinen juttu ei käynnisty...10:59
James147??10:59
IdhanJames147: where is this "configure plasma"??11:00
gentobuntuJames147: The graphical "sahre this folder" does not start at all..11:00
James147gentobuntu: is samba installed?11:00
IdhanJames147: if I add widgets in the dashboard after I press ctr-f12, and I add there some widgets, after I come back to the desktop the same widgets are there11:01
James147Idhan: click the cashew thing thats in the corner of the desktop, you should be able to "zoom out"11:01
gentobuntuJames147: Yes, and I'v /etc/init.d/samba start and allso restart...11:01
IdhanJames147: ok11:01
gentobuntu * Starting Samba daemons                                                                                                      [ OK ]11:02
James147gentobuntu: not sure whats wrong :s you could try purging samba and reinstalling it11:03
IdhanJames147: yes.. I see the zoom out... I try to move some widgets out of the desktop background in the bottom area..but after I stop the drag action, automatically the return to the desktop area11:03
James147Idhan: once you have zoomed out there should be a "configure plasma" option, click that and check "use seperate daskpoard"11:04
James147Idhan: this is in kde 4.3.1, not sure it is in kde 4.2.X, what version are you useing?11:05
Idhan4.2.211:05
IdhanJames147: are you using kubuntu 9.04?11:05
James147Idhan: yes, but with kde 4.3.111:06
IdhanJames147:  is that a safe upgrade??11:06
James147Idhan: I think it was added to kde 4.3, if you really want it you can upgrade via http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.3.111:06

cajunI don't know whether it matters, ubuntu or kubuntu. I have Kubuntu Jaunty installed but use gnome more often. One of my users has to change his password regularly yet I have not had to myself.  Is this because he has administrative privileges?13:56
James147cajun: I know you can set a time at which passwords expire, not sure if its system wide or user wide though14:00
James147cajun: in kuser if you double click on a user to get settings for that user there is a "password managment" tab that lets you set password expiry times14:02
cajunwell he's the only user on my system that has to reset.  i created a guest account with limited user priveleges and it's pw remains the same.14:02

cajuni don't see a way to change this setting for a specific user14:06
James147cajun: for me i click on the user, a box pops up with more info, password expriey is on Password Managment tab14:07
cajunah.  that fixed it.14:08
cajunhe had expire deadlines.14:09
cajuni have no idea how that happened.14:09
James147cajun: but now you know how to fix it :)14:09
cajunthank you so much.  why is this not available in the gnome version of that app?14:09
James147cajun: It might be, I dont use gnome so I dont know what is availble for it14:10

W4gn3rxorred: you can install grub normally, but you'll need to manually edit your menu.lst18:15
rj_yes, I did, my only question is "what do I need to so that Linux doesn't check the date?"18:15
rj_I can replace the battery18:15
xorredhmmm... but the live cd detects any OSs that are there18:15
xorredI guess there is a way to follow the same procedure?18:15
rj_can't18:15
xorredsomehow it automatically detects there is another OS18:15
xorredno need to manually do anything?18:15

dracnocluca, fu-si laptops are funny things, some really weird hardware in there. You may not have much luck with the greyscreen resume/suspend problem. It has been a weakness of (K)ubuntu in the past. Unless someone has found a solution by accident, you may be stuck.22:54
dracnocepimeth: give me a moment, I have it running here. I'll have a play with the options. What's your mouse device (touchpad, mouse (PS2/USB))?22:56
