rejohnAnyone seeing spurious graphics problems in Ubuntu 904??  I'm seeing spurious graphics problems on both my desktip & laptop using KUbuntu 904 & the later KDE from the (PPA? Launchpad?) repositories. 1) Some leftover window stuff doesn't get erased from the screen occasionally, & 2) some black background with light dots of garbage appear inside some windows (often KATE word processor).  Anyone else see this?  Is this a known issue01:55

TechN9neyep done thanks installed all updates that were needed just very new to KDE wasnt sure if i needed any thing else that was helpful09:16
James147TechN9ne: wine might be helpful if you ever need to run a windows program (although not everything will work). Dont need to install it now just take note of it and if you do get the version from wine as the jaunty ones are very outdated09:18
TechN9neright ive used wine before thanks for your help09:19

s0me0neapt-get source apt-get doesn't work :/15:01

AndySpainhi15:05
AndySpainI can't log into kde anymore15:06
AndySpainI had little space on hdd and was notified about updates (bugfixes only)  earlier today15:06
BluesKajs0me0ne, instead of deb http://archive.canonical look for deb-src http://archive.canonical , as an aexample.15:06
AndySpainI clicked on apply all updates15:06
AndySpainsince then when I startup I get to the login screen enter user name and pw and again the login screen showed up. booted in live cd made some space availbalbe15:07
AndySpainnow when I arrive at login screen and enter name and pw on the uppermost left part of the screen a small console opens the rest of the screen remains like login screen15:08
geniiAndySpain: Can you still gain a console login by ctrl-alt-f1 ?15:09
AndySpainyes15:09
AndySpaini tried recovery mode at bootup and there the option repair x, same result15:10
AndySpainnow in this tiny console window I can also write comamnds. 'sudo shutdown now' instead of bringing the computer to halt, it brings me to the recovery mode screen15:11
AndySpainvery bizarre15:11
geniiAndySpain: When updates were trying to be done, it complained of no space on /boot   or similar groaning?15:11
AndySpainno15:11
AndySpainit said, reboot required15:11
AndySpainwith the reboot icon in tray15:12
AndySpaindf  however sayd 0 free15:12
AndySpainat about 20% of update process, but I thought, aborting manually could be too dangerous and I hoped it would find out that there is no space and simply spill out an error, saying it just can't update15:13
AndySpainsudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop and then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop did not help either15:16
MamarokAndySpain: well, kubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package, removing it doesn't remove anything15:21

AndySpainhow that?15:24
kambalhow do i mount my 2nd ide hardisk?15:24
AndySpainit's a damn small partition, there's almost nothing big left15:24

AndySpaincopied all big stuff to my pendrive15:25
AndySpaingenii: this won't delete anything no?15:25

AndySpainsounds bad, but google works15:31
AndySpainand can search also, so not cached or so15:31
AndySpain(dunno if elinks caches at all)15:32
AndySpainwhat now? - sudo apt-get update and upgrade and dist-upgrade?15:32
geniiAndySpain: The idea would be... if internet is working... to clear out /tmp and /var/cache/apt/archives and then re-run an update/upgrade command15:32
geniiwork, brb15:32
AndySpainok15:32
AndySpaingenii: sudo rm -R /tmp && sudo rm -R /var/cache/apt  would do?15:34
geniiAndySpain: For a test... does: wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release                      grab a file from the repository?15:35
geniiAndySpain: Hold off on the rm stuff just yet15:35
AndySpainyes, grabbed15:36
AndySpain165K7s in 0.4 s15:36
AndySpainjust my typing took a long time ;-)15:36
geniiAndySpain: Ok. So not the rm commands you put, but instead:   sudo rm -rf /tmp/*  && sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/*15:37
geniiAndySpain: This will make room in /tmp and also clear out any corrupted partial downloads in the apt deb archives15:37
geniiAndySpain: Then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade             (or dist-upgrade if you prefer)15:38
AndySpaindone15:38
AndySpainthe rm15:38
AndySpainerror15:39
AndySpainthe archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing15:39
AndySpainsimply mkdir?15:40

AndySpainE: subprocess returned an erro code15:42
AndySpainit was already fetching the update15:42
AndySpainbut still 9% of free space on sda315:43
AndySpaini try a reboot first15:44
AndySpainanother one I mean15:44
AndySpainmaybe if the system tries to come up from down it will set the temp files it needs to run popperly15:45
AndySpainobjections?15:45
AndySpaingenii: great. at least something changed: the small konsole window does not pop up anymore after trying to login into kde, but login still fails and throws me back to login screen15:56
AndySpainno more error doing update and upgrade with apt-get15:57

AndySpaingenii: done, still no change. reboot required?19:31
Ben349I think I messed up some settings for my wifi not to work, because it used to on kubuntu. So just thought I could re-install that would fix it19:31
geniiAndySpain: Not for that.19:31

Lenin_Catthe bot isnt giving me access to #ubuntu so ill just ask here...19:56
Lenin_CatCan you install a full installation(IE not wubi) on a partition that has windows on it?19:56
geniiLenin_Cat: You mean and also keep the Windows?19:58
Lenin_Catgenii: yes.19:58
geniiNo19:58
Ben349Is there a way to say "reformat" linux like Windows has ?19:59
njathanokay.. problem solved... "Kmail Settings" -> Appearance -> Layout -> Message Structure Viewer -> "Never Show"19:59
geniiBen349: During install process it usually asks if you want to format the partition you are installing (K)ubuntu to20:00
Ben349ahh ok, so if i just install the live disk then i can just re-install over the existing one ?20:01

AndySpainshutdown is empty though20:24
geniiAndySpain: It's conceivable but why it would cause this issue is beyond me20:27
AndySpainsudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop only frees few kb, what is the packet I have to remove and install agian for the entire kde?20:27
AndySpainI rather not simply copy .kde from here, since this here is intrepid and the one with issues is jaunty20:27
AndySpainunless you tell me they use the very same kde - which I sort of doubt20:28
geniiNo, they're probably not20:29
AndySpainbut reinstalling kde might work, dunno which package though20:30
geniiAndySpain: I'm not sure "apt-get purge something" works. I think it's supposed to be more like: sudo apt-get remove --purge something20:30
AndySpainsame result, removes only 49,2 k20:34
AndySpainand still no login20:34
