| joshKDE | hi | 00:56 |
| nightwlkr | hellow joshKDE | 00:59 |
| BluesKaj | nightwlkr, what kind of "packages" do you mean that don't work ? | 01:04 |
| nightwlkr | apt-get doesn't work | 01:05 |
| nightwlkr | basically the network card is there..kde doesn't recognize it | 01:05 |
| nightwlkr | in terminal i can set ip's and everything is fine when i ping my server 20.20.20.1 but when i ping let's say google.com host not found | 01:06 |
| BluesKaj | what errors do you get with apt ? | 01:06 |
| nightwlkr | archive.ubuntu.com host not found | 01:06 |
| nightwlkr | it's working fine when i connected it directly and set up pppoeconf | 01:07 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps you have to configure what apps are allowed in your FW | 01:07 |
| nightwlkr | running an update now for bug fixes..donno if the sollution is there though | 01:07 |
| nightwlkr | i have an ipcop firewall, no restrictions set | 01:08 |
| BluesKaj | checked you sources.list ? | 01:09 |
| nightwlkr | and with proxy set i can even run konqueror | 01:09 |
| nightwlkr | on my firewall or kubuntu? | 01:10 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntu | 01:10 |
| nightwlkr | well if problem was from sources logically it shouldn't work on pppoe either no? | 01:11 |
| nightwlkr | besides it's not just apt-get.. irc client wont connect..nor any other messenger | 01:11 |
| BluesKaj | dunno, i thought pppoe was strictly for email but I'm not well versed about that | 01:12 |
| nightwlkr | so u can say i can only use konquerer through proxy just browsing | 01:12 |
| Shotokan | excuse me.i've a problem:when i execute amarok, the sound doesn't work in mplayer and vlc.i've to close amarok and restart mplayer and/or vlc. do you know why? | 01:12 |
| nightwlkr | no pppoe is for broadband connections | 01:12 |
| BluesKaj | i', not saying anything of the sort , cuz i don't use a proxy | 01:13 |
| nightwlkr | well my proxy is transparent..so that means i can use the net with or without it... but still | 01:13 |
| heinkel_111 | can i get amarok2 to sync with mediaplayers like amarok 1.4 did? | 01:13 |
| === _roconnor_ is now known as roconnor_ | ||
| nightwlkr | i have the same problem with my built in SIS NIC , thought getting a new network card would solve the problem | 01:15 |
| BluesKaj | nightwlkr, looks to me like you have an unusually secure setup for linux , that may be the problem ...you're choking your access but I'm not gonna say much more about it cuz I doubt very much i can help you | 01:15 |
| nightwlkr | well put aside my secure stuff..i should still b able ping my firewall when setting ip's from network manager no? | 01:16 |
| nightwlkr | so my problem would b the network manager then | 01:17 |
| BluesKaj | network manager might be your problem , I couldn't get tit o work consistently so i installed wicd | 01:17 |

| BluesKaj | teju, https://wiki.kubuntu.org/FAQ | 01:20 |
| ovrdrive | i have hit all the wikis and still cannot find a fix for it | 01:21 |
| BluesKaj | nightwlkr, let wicd find your network router and it will auto-set the IP adresses unless the FW interferes | 01:21 |
| nightwlkr | am installing wicd now | 01:21 |
| nightwlkr | will c how to set it as default network manager afterwards | 01:22 |
| BluesKaj | nightwlkr, it will auto-remove network manger | 01:24 |

| vslobodov | Hey everyone. I have a question. I screwed around with my eth0 and smb config files. And I can't seem to find the originals (because I'm so smart and didn't do a backup). If I upgrade to 9.04 (I'm using 8.10), will the files be upgraded as well? | 01:45 |
| vslobodov | Evolution, I originally used the sudo mount command, but now I use AcetoneISO. Try that? | 01:46 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | thanks vslobodov | 01:47 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | will try that | 01:47 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | vslobodov: i am a newbie, but i think that if you format the kde folder also, yes they will be | 01:47 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | i mean, make sure tha the kde config folder is on the partition that you are going to format | 01:48 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | if you format | 01:48 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | thats better | 01:48 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | than upgrading over | 01:48 |
| vslobodov | Yeah, good point. I didn't think about that. Gonna have to save my docs. Thanks! | 01:48 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | :) | 01:50 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | vslobodov: one thing | 01:50 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | when you used the mount command | 01:50 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | did you had to copy files to fstab? | 01:50 |
| vslobodov | Let me try to remember. I think the first time I mounted, I had to change something in fstab | 01:51 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | ermmm | 01:51 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | nevermind then | 01:51 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | will try to use some apps | 01:51 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | good luck with the upgrade | 01:51 |
| lolsauc3 | BluesKaj, sorry about the long time gone, but idk if memtest started over or what, but I have had 60 errors, and 8 pass. | 01:51 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | 9.04 is worth | 01:51 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | it | 01:51 |
| vslobodov | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530792 That's a good link with relevant info. And no, now that I look at it, I didn't change anything in fstab. | 01:53 |

| nightwlkr_ | BluesKaj: thnx alot i configured wicd is working fine now with static ip behind firewall :D | 01:56 |
| lolsauc3 | BluesKaj, is 60 errors too much? it could be a problem with the memory | 01:57 |
| lolsauc3 | I mean, first off, it's a 512 and it's only recognizing 320 of it | 01:57 |
| dirtyturbin | hey I am trying to install openVP for Banshee, but when I try to build the plugin in banshee itself it tells me ln: accessing '/*.ddl': Too many levels of symbolic links. What do I do now?? | 01:59 |
| BluesKaj | lolsauc3, yes i suspected that , that's why I figured a BIOS update for the motherboard would help , most 800mhz pc can support more than 512 RAM | 02:01 |
| BluesKaj | lolsauc3, did you try to boot into windows ? | 02:02 |
| genii | Any errors with memtest is not good and ram should get swapped out | 02:02 |
| lolsauc3 | yes, windows always boots fine | 02:03 |
| lolsauc3 | for some reason linux has problems | 02:03 |
| lolsauc3 | I'll get on craigslist tonight and find some better ram for this | 02:03 |
| lolsauc3 | I'm sure linux will boot fine after that | 02:03 |
| lolsauc3 | but for now, I think I'm as far as I can get into this problem | 02:03 |

| Mr_Sonoma | anyone know of a good chat server i could load on my server? perferably one with nick and chan services | 02:04 |
| BluesKaj | lolsauc3, make sure you find out how much maximum memory your machine can use | 02:05 |
| genii | linuxguy: with package read-edid you can do: sudo get-edid | parse-edid and get from that a list of modelines which can be inserted into an xorg.conf | 02:05 |
| lolsauc3 | yes, the embedded dram is fine, but the extra module I have is probably causing problems. I figured such when it said that this computer wasnt compatible with it, but it was in anyway | 02:05 |
| lolsauc3 | BluesKaj, it said the max allowed for this was 192, with the built in 64mb and a 128 module | 02:05 |
| BluesKaj | that's really low for an 800mhz pc | 02:06 |

| lolsauc3 | but memtest and everything is recognizing up to 320 of it, so do you think a 256 stick would work BluesKaj? | 02:06 |
| BluesKaj | my old HP 366mhz pc supported up to 256 | 02:06 |
| Mr_Sonoma | thanks genii | 02:06 |
| lolsauc3 | I mean, 256 + 64 is 320, so it should work | 02:06 |
| genii | Mr_Sonoma: You should also look into some chan managing bot like eggdrop | 02:07 |
| nightwlkr_ | lolsauc3: update ur bios i think it should fix this issue | 02:07 |
| BluesKaj | 320 isn't much for jaunty , lolsauc3 | 02:07 |
| lolsauc3 | I tried updating already, for some reason it always says corrupted CMOS. I'll have to try again | 02:07 |
| lolsauc3 | hangon | 02:07 |
| nightwlkr_ | it's best if u boot it on some sort of floppy or something | 02:08 |
| genii | lolsauc3: Some older boards need matched sticks (256+256 or 64+64) | 02:08 |
| Mr_Sonoma | i havent messed with a eggy since the mid 90s. but that is esentially the plan if i can get one up and running like i want | 02:08 |
| nightwlkr_ | if u'r updating under windows might sometimes do that | 02:08 |

| mizerydearia | ooh, I can move it now after ~ 30 seconds of lag...but it's lagging again after moving just a split seconf | 06:10 |
| mizerydearia | yay, it stopped lagging, but no menu appeared. Clicking on it repeatedly also yields no menu, but no more lag | 06:10 |
| mizerydearia | same for right click | 06:11 |
| mizerydearia | So I'm obviously experiencing a strange issue... Any ideas on how I can diagnose and fix it? | 06:11 |
| Balsaq | if i switch my desktop to kubuntu from ubuntu 9.04 will it run faster? | 06:18 |
| apetrescu | What is the "correct" way to prevent one of the default KDE apps (say, kbluetooth4) from automatically starting on login, even in an empty session? | 06:19 |
| apetrescu | Balsaq: Yeah, I find KDE performs much, much better than Gnome. On my hardware at least. | 06:19 |
| Balsaq | apetrescu: ty, my computer is from 1998 is that still your answer | 06:20 |
| apetrescu | Balsaq: Heh wow.... then even KDE4 might be too much. You should look into one of the lightweight ones like Fluxbox or IceWM | 06:21 |
| Balsaq | what about puppylinux | 06:21 |
| apetrescu | I dunno anything about that, sorry :( | 06:21 |
| ricardoooooo | hi | 06:29 |
| Balsaq | apetrescu wow they blew me right outta fluxbox | 06:46 |
| apetrescu | Balsaq: what do you mean? | 06:46 |
| Balsaq | more or less told me i am in the wrong place | 06:47 |
| Balsaq | like i didnt know enoogh to be there | 06:47 |
| Balsaq | i guess when i said is fluxbox faster than ubuntu they took offense | 06:48 |
| Balsaq | then one of em spoke up and said "take my word dont install fluxbox"...."why dont you go to ubuntu"....stuff like that | 06:49 |
| ycl | ?? | 06:50 |
| apetrescu | Ah | 06:52 |
| apetrescu | Well, you see, fluxbox and ubuntu aren't comparable | 06:52 |
| apetrescu | Fluxbox is a window manager, ubuntu is a distribution | 06:52 |
| apetrescu | You can run Fluxbox IN ubuntu | 06:52 |
| apetrescu | But I have no idea why they'd abuse you for asking... common mistake | 06:53 |
| apetrescu | *shrugs* | 06:53 |
| Balsaq | sound like it doesnt matter which distro i have , as log as i kknow how to turn on or turn off stuff they are all the same ...they say | 06:58 |

| DJ-Nomad | Hi all,just added KDE to my gnome,xfce ubuntu install and in KDE youtube,playlist.com media loads but refuses to start | 07:30 |
| Qu4Z | Which browser are you using? | 07:30 |
| DJ-Nomad | it does it in firefox and the native KDE one | 07:31 |
| DJ-Nomad | sorry for my ignorance on kde I am using it for first time right now | 07:31 |
| Qu4Z | Hm... I don't really know, (I first installed Kubuntu a couple of days ago) but have you tried installing kubuntu-restricted-extras? | 07:32 |
| DJ-Nomad | I always thought kde was too much for my pc but it is acting better than all others on my 733 mhz 512 ram pc | 07:32 |
| Qu4Z | Also, does it still work under Gnome? | 07:32 |
| Qu4Z | KDE isn't the hog that everyone thinks it is. In fact, it's rather loverly. | 07:32 |
| DJ-Nomad | it works in gnome ,I have xfce,kde,gnome restricted extras installed | 07:32 |
| DJ-Nomad | right quaz | 07:33 |
| DJ-Nomad | I just hadnt given it a chance | 07:33 |
| Qu4Z | Hm... I'm not really sure beyond that, sorry ^^; I'll have to leave you to someone more experienced ^^; | 07:33 |
| DJ-Nomad | the "programs" seem to be thought out and developed better | 07:33 |
| DJ-Nomad | its cool thanks | 07:33 |
| DJ-Nomad | it sems mayve I am missing a setting somewhere | 07:34 |
| DJ-Nomad | cause the media loads (status bar things progresses) but the play status thing does not move or start | 07:34 |
| DJ-Nomad | I decided to try kde cause of amorok,it is definately hands down the best ever | 07:36 |
| DJ-Nomad | I am using the nightly build and it is worth a try | 07:37 |
| DJ-Nomad | I got it via ultramatix,which is another of my must haves | 07:38 |
| Qu4Z | You like Amarok 2? | 07:39 |
| Qu4Z | I loved amarok 1, I'm ... getting used to Amarok 2. | 07:39 |
| DJ-Nomad | I love it | 07:39 |
| Qu4Z | Oh, right. I'd rashly assumed you just weren't getting flash player loading at all ^^; | 07:39 |
| DJ-Nomad | the one I am using is the nightly so it may have a few other things on it | 07:39 |
| DJ-Nomad | the flash seems to be working fine it just dont wanna start ,kinda like me at work on a monday lol | 07:40 |
| DJ-Nomad | the kde web browser may not have jave working on it ,I got a error about it on playlist.com | 07:41 |
| u3adi | excuseme | 07:42 |
| DJ-Nomad | hi,I am new so I aint gonna be much help but shoot the question | 07:43 |
| DJ-Nomad | I am thinking that my flash problem has something to do with gstreamer plugins or something like that I installed in gnome/xfce | 07:48 |

| dvalin | i'm experiencing poor perfoemance in playing hdtv on my kubuntu 9.04. firstly i thought installing appropriate drivers for my geforce7300gs would solve the problem, but it didn't - yes, it got much better, but in action scenes with lots of changes in the picture i see loss of videoframes and even loss of sound. | 11:54 |
| dvalin | tried with dragon_player and vlc - results are the same.. | 11:54 |
| dvalin | earlier under windows there were no problems with hdtv stuff.. | 11:54 |
| dvalin | any ideas? | 11:54 |

| ubox | hey all | 21:37 |
| Nico964 | hello | 21:38 |
| Nico964 | Anyone have any ideas? | 21:39 |
| ubox | i was just upgrading via apt-get and grub want's me to choose between the existing /etc/default/grub and a new one | 21:40 |
| ubox | what should i do? | 21:40 |
| ubox | what's your question nico964? i missed it | 21:40 |
| snarkster | id stay with what you know works | 21:40 |
| ubox | thought so, thanks snarkster | 21:41 |
| snarkster | is it a good idea to upgrade to 4.3.2? | 21:41 |
| snarkster | I dont want knetworkmanager to stop working | 21:41 |
| ubox | it doesn't work in the new version? | 21:41 |
| snarkster | last time i upgraded that part just stopped working altogether | 21:41 |
| JontheEchidna | knetworkmanager is updated separately than the rest of KDE | 21:42 |
| ubox | hmm, i wonder what version i am running | 21:42 |
| Nico964 | friend has 8.10 i think, could be 8.4, either way will not upgrade but needs to set screen resolution to 1024x768 for her school work but only has option up to 800x600. | 21:42 |
| snarkster | ,shrug> this is a new install with my original config files Im already noticing some things are working well | 21:42 |
| ubox | i am running all current and all seems good | 21:43 |
| snarkster | amarok will not show my collection.. and will not fetch covers. | 21:43 |
| ubox | with the exception of resume from suspend | 21:43 |
| snarkster | yah resume & suspend are failing on my machine as well. LOL | 21:44 |
| ubox | nico964, do they have the proper display driver? | 21:44 |
| snarkster | i lose sound and wifi if i close the lid while running on battery | 21:44 |
| ubox | snarkster, yea mine works sort of. it suspends and even wifi resumes properly but the screen stays off | 21:44 |
| Nico964 | not sure. but if there is anything i can do to help programming wise that would be great | 21:44 |
| snarkster | so its ok to upgrade to 4.3.2? | 21:46 |
| ubox | it appears so, i wouldn't need to restart to notice a change in netmanagement would i? | 21:47 |
| ubox | i'm using it now and notice no problems | 21:47 |

| ubox | so nico964, there is not too much help to provide if we don't know the state of your video setup. driver, config etc | 21:49 |
| === melahen is now known as melahenom | ||
| Nico964 | is there anyway i can tell them to in order to find out what her driver information is? | 21:52 |
| snarkster | wait a sec.. did you say that knetworkmanager is a seperate update? | 21:53 |
| snarkster | so after i upgrade and lose connectivity then I can upgrade kentwork manager? | 21:54 |
| snarkster | damn | 21:54 |
| snarkster | so do you think its a good idea to possibly put noobs in a situation where they may not be able to reconnect to the net after an upgrade? | 21:55 |

| ubuntu_ | hello! | 22:17 |
| ubuntu_ | I've upgraded from kubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 a few minutes ago and tried to reboot. Everything seemed normal, the normal kubuntu-loading-screen appeared. The Loading time was much shorter, but that seems to be normal too (I read an article about kde wants to shorten the startup time up to 10 seconds). After the loading screen nothing happens. The screen turns black. The computer doesn't restart or shutdown, it looks like everythign is normal excep | 22:20 |
| ubuntu_ | screen is black. | 22:20 |
| ubuntu_ | I don't have the slightest idea where to start now, because everything in the upgrade could have broken my system... :S | 22:20 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm currently running kubuntu from the kubuntu live cd...Can anyone help me please? | 22:20 |
| Spaceman | try asking in #ubuntu+1 the home of the (k)ubuntu beta | 22:29 |
| Nico964 | i need to know why when i check the drivers and change drivers in my friend's computer that the screen keeps coming up black. I had this happend one other time and someone walked me through how to fix it but i don't remember how to do that. Also just for general info she has an lcd screen if that makes any difference | 22:30 |

| tonya | hello | 22:59 |
| tonya | I am totally new to this kubutu | 23:00 |
| tonya | I need to install a new web browser and have downloaded firefox 3.5 I believe | 23:00 |
| tonya | but not sure how to install it | 23:00 |
| tonya | firefox-3.5.3.tar.bz2 | 23:01 |
| tonya | not sure if its the right one or not | 23:01 |
| bodly | tonya, you should use package management tools to install firefox. | 23:02 |
| tonya | where is that at..lol | 23:02 |
| bodly | Click on the "K" button and then click on "Applications" then "System" | 23:03 |
| bodly | there should be at least one application there that says something like "Package Manager" | 23:04 |
| tonya | like ARK? | 23:04 |
| bodly | no, ARK should be under "Utilities" not "System" | 23:05 |
| bodly | Synaptic or kpackage | 23:06 |
| tonya | software management | 23:06 |
| tonya | ? | 23:06 |
| bodly | that should work | 23:06 |
| tonya | it came up kpackage kit | 23:06 |
| tonya | now what | 23:06 |
| tonya | I typed firefox and it found an installer | 23:07 |
| tonya | I then clicked ok | 23:07 |
| bodly | let me grab my laptop. i'm running a bleeding edge version of kde on this box. 1 second | 23:08 |
| tonya | it disappeared | 23:08 |
| tonya | hard drive light is acting like its working on something though | 23:08 |
| tonya | or was | 23:08 |
| tonya | lol | 23:08 |
| bodly | ok, hopefully it downloaded firefox and is installing it. :-) | 23:10 |
| tonya | it was already downloaded and in the documents folder | 23:11 |
| bodly | kubuntu and ubuntu install software packages called "debs". it's best to let the package management software install things rather than downloading things from the web and installing them manually. | 23:13 |
| tonya | keeps telling me its already installed | 23:13 |
| tonya | but I do not think it is | 23:13 |
| tonya | I can not find FIREFOX actaully installed | 23:14 |
| bodly | hmm... click on the "K", then "Applications" then "Internet" | 23:14 |
| bodly | if it's installed it should be there. | 23:14 |
| tonya | only the "firefox browser installer" in there | 23:15 |
| bodly | ok. click on that. | 23:16 |
| tonya | did a few times | 23:16 |
| tonya | tells me it is installed.. | 23:16 |
| tonya | after going thru first part of install | 23:16 |
| bodly | ok. hit alt + F2 and type firefox then hit enter | 23:16 |
| bodly | or click on the "K" and type firefox in the search box | 23:17 |
| tonya | just the installer and the file I downloaded in that search | 23:17 |
| bodly | ok. the installer is obviously not doing it's job. :-) | 23:18 |
| tonya | nope | 23:19 |
| bodly | this web page might help. http://madberry.org/2008/08/so-ive-installed-kubuntu-now-what/ | 23:19 |
| bodly | but that page talks about using "adept" which I think I don't think is part of the default Kubuntu install. you should be able to use synaptic instead. | 23:22 |
| snarkster | ok so in doing the upgrade I just broke my system.. Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-workspace-bin_4%3a4.3.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1~jaunty1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 23:28 |
| bodly | snarkster: what's the error? | 23:29 |
| snarkster | thats the error | 23:29 |
| bodly | well that's not a very helpful error message | 23:30 |
| besitzer_ | ,,m,ö | 23:30 |
| snarkster | dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-workspace-bin_4%3a4.3.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1~jaunty1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kconf_update_bin/plasma-add-shortcut-to-menu', which is also in package kde-window-manager dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-workspace-bin_4%3a4.3.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1~jaunty1_i386.deb E: Sub-pro | 23:30 |
| snarkster | sorry im not a fast typer | 23:30 |
| bodly | ahh, ok. two packages have the same file in them. | 23:31 |
| === besitzer_ is now known as ditz | ||
| === ditz is now known as ditzkkkk | ||
| bodly | on the command line, type "sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-workspace-bin_4%3a4.3.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1~jaunty1_i386.deb" | 23:31 |
| snarkster | thank you | 23:32 |
| bodly | np | 23:32 |
| snarkster | ok im going to relog and see if it works. | 23:34 |
| snarkster | and just like last time knetworkmanager doesnt work | 23:39 |
| snarkster | it shows my network wifi but when i tell it to connect it fails | 23:39 |
| snarkster | actually failing would be nice cause Id know it was doing something, this doesnt do anyhting at all | 23:39 |
| snarkster | anybody know how to fix knetworkmanager? | 23:42 |
| snarkster | workaround? | 23:42 |
| bodly | snarkster: I dunno, it's working fine on my laptop. but when it's been broken in the past I've installed the gnome network manager applet | 23:43 |
| snarkster | ive gone to wicd cause it always seems to work. | 23:44 |
| snarkster | i just wanted the knetwork manager to work.. :( | 23:44 |
| bodly | yeah, wicd does seem more stable | 23:44 |
| snarkster | it does work fine with a cable plugged in.. | 23:44 |
| bodly | you might try going in to knetworkmanager's settings and deleting your wireless connection settings and then retrying to connect. | 23:45 |
| snarkster | ok | 23:46 |
| Zeikfried | Is there a way to make a fake IP address that is registered to my laptop? | 23:50 |
| snarkster1 | yah that doesnt work either | 23:52 |
| snarkster1 | really frustrating | 23:53 |
