| nightwlkr | well am a newbie u can say but what's the problem? maybe i can help | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| nico480 | i was trying to fix the drivers on my friend's computer and whaen I went to the hardware section to change the driver so she could get a 1024x768 res. after i put it on the one that is suspose to be the recommended driver i rebooted and got nothing but a black screen. anyone know how to change it back? | 00:02 |
| nightwlkr | ouch... that i think requires editing of xserver config | 00:04 |
| nightwlkr | press ctrl + f4 go to text based | 00:06 |
| nico480 | ok then what? | 00:06 |
| nightwlkr | yikes i had a similar issue on kubuntu 7.04 that was more than a year ago | 00:06 |
| nightwlkr | i don't remember the location of the file :( | 00:07 |
| nightwlkr | let me check online | 00:07 |
| nico480 | ok | 00:07 |
| nightwlkr | /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:09 |
| nightwlkr | login text based | 00:09 |
| nightwlkr | nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:09 |
| nico480 | ok now what? | 00:10 |
| nightwlkr | let me try and c where i edited if i can find it i'll help u out.. | 00:10 |
| nico480 | great! thank you so much | 00:11 |
| nightwlkr | ok u have section "Device" | 00:12 |
| nightwlkr | what's the device under there? | 00:12 |
| nico480 | nope | 00:13 |
| nico480 | i have "get help" "write out" "read file" "prev page" | 00:13 |
| nico480 | "next page" "cut text" "cur pos" | 00:13 |
| nightwlkr | it's blank? | 00:14 |
| nightwlkr | that means there was no file | 00:14 |
| nightwlkr | note that it's case sensitive X11 capital x | 00:14 |
| nico480 | ok i didn't caps the x | 00:15 |
| nico480 | now i have a whole bunch of writing on the main screen | 00:16 |
| robin0800 | nico480: there is no xorg.conf file on a new install of the beta | 00:16 |
| nightwlkr | i didn't know that | 00:17 |
| nico480 | well its not a new install of the beta | 00:17 |
| nightwlkr | Section "Device" | 00:18 |
| nightwlkr | Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 00:18 |
| nightwlkr | EndSection | 00:18 |
| nightwlkr | u c this? | 00:18 |
| FloodBotK2 | nightwlkr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:18 |
| nico480 | yes | 00:18 |
| nightwlkr | so it's configured video device | 00:18 |
| plazz | Xorg automatically detects hardware and loads the appropriate driver the majority of the time. so kubuntu ships without the config. | 00:18 |
| nightwlkr | not any brand or driver | 00:18 |
| nico480 | yes have section device identifier configured video device | 00:19 |
| nightwlkr | so it was differnt on 7.04 ? | 00:19 |
| plazz | nico480: post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to a site(the paste site linked above for example) | 00:21 |
| nico480 | I can't because i am typing on my laptop and her computer can not get online until i fix this problem | 00:22 |
| plazz | nico480: does hitting alt+ctrl+f1 take you to a terminal or does the screen remain blank? | 00:22 |
| nico480 | i have a terminal | 00:23 |
| plazz | nico480: type 'cat /var/log/Xorg.log', the errors x is having should be there. sounds like the driver isn't being loaded for whatever reason. | 00:24 |
| nightwlkr | plazz: his problem is that xserver doesn't recognise the new driver he specified | 00:24 |
| nightwlkr | he needs to manually configure it back to the old driver | 00:24 |
| nico480 | it says that it has the 178 driver but was reccommended to be at 180 so when i changed it i got a black screen | 00:25 |
| nico480 | so i have to ctrl-alt-f1 to get the terminal screenm | 00:26 |
| * Ev0luti0n_ boas! | 00:30 | |
| nightwlkr | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:31 |
| nightwlkr | this should restore to deafult state as i read online | 00:31 |
| nightwlkr | try it | 00:32 |
| === derrick_ is now known as D-Master | ||
| nico480 | do i need toput in sudo or something else first? | 00:34 |
| nightwlkr | yes if u r logged in as normal user | 00:35 |
| nightwlkr | but i doubt u have changed root pass so sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:36 |
| nico480 | it says command not found | 00:36 |
| poincare_ | hello | 00:36 |
| poincare_ | saludos desde puerto rico | 00:36 |
| nightwlkr | it works fine with me | 00:37 |
| nightwlkr | check for a miss spel | 00:37 |
| nightwlkr | and don't forget the "-" | 00:38 |
| nico480 | i did check speling and had the - in there and still got command not found | 00:38 |
| nightwlkr | odd | 00:39 |
| nightwlkr | cause i just tried it :P | 00:39 |
| nightwlkr | and it reconfigures everything from ur keyboard layout to graphics... | 00:39 |
| burner | is there a way to move widgets on the panel with a hotkey? or do you have to use that menu item a couple things deep? | 00:40 |
| nightwlkr | nico480: use tabs to fill ur text | 00:41 |
| nightwlkr | like sudo dp tab and it will dpkg-re tab etc.. | 00:41 |
| nico480 | ok i think it was just acting stupid. now what? | 00:42 |
| nightwlkr | did u c a blue screen? | 00:42 |
| nightwlkr | asking u questions? | 00:42 |
| nico480 | yep | 00:43 |
| nightwlkr | just follow it answering 1 by 1 | 00:43 |
| nightwlkr | it'll get to ur video settings | 00:43 |
| nico480 | ok | 00:43 |
| Zeikfried | Where could i find a .DEB package for the 2.6.27-9 kernel? | 00:44 |
| nightwlkr | it's the best way i could think of that i could do as a newbie..like i said i don't have much knowledge linux based | 00:44 |
| nightwlkr | nico480: let me know if it works though :P | 00:46 |
| nico480 | i don't know what to answer the first one | 00:47 |
| nightwlkr | what's the question? | 00:48 |
| nico480 | use kernel framebuffer device interface | 00:48 |
| nightwlkr | yes i guess | 00:49 |
| nightwlkr | well this is the xserver config so no matter what u do u will still b able to use the terminal | 00:49 |
| nightwlkr | if i'm not mistaken | 00:50 |
| nico480 | ok i went through them what now? | 00:50 |
| nightwlkr | reboot .. sudo reboot | 00:50 |
| nightwlkr | or sudo startx | 00:51 |
| plazz | just startx. no need to sudo it unless you explicitly want to run it as the superuser(tip: chances are you don't.) | 00:53 |
| nightwlkr | what do u think plazz? should this work? | 00:54 |
| nightwlkr | nico480: any luck? | 00:55 |
| nico480 | yes but now does anyone know how i can give her the option of setting her resolution to 1024x768 instead of 800x600 | 00:57 |
| nightwlkr | :D | 00:57 |
| nightwlkr | what's her vga? | 00:58 |
| nico480 | 800x600 | 00:58 |
| nightwlkr | vga..like sis..ATI etc.. | 00:58 |
| nico480 | don't know where would i find that info? | 00:58 |
| nightwlkr | is it a built in vga? | 00:59 |
| nico480 | i guess so | 01:00 |
| nightwlkr | what's her main board then? | 01:00 |
| nico480 | pls tell me where to look in ordr to tell this information | 01:01 |
| nightwlkr | well easiest way i know of is on the mainboard | 01:01 |
| nightwlkr | dmesg | 01:02 |
| nightwlkr | but that tells u all hardware that linux has installed | 01:02 |
| plazz | lspci | grep VGA <- shows me at least the vga controller. (case sensitive) | 01:03 |
| nightwlkr | lspci |grep VGA | 01:03 |
| nightwlkr | oops | 01:03 |
| nightwlkr | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 03) | 01:04 |
| nightwlkr | cause i have the same issue :P but stuck on 900x600 | 01:04 |
| nico480 | 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] (rev a2) | 01:05 |
| nightwlkr | nico480: checking google to c what i can find | 01:07 |
| nightwlkr | had same issue and still have with my sis built in vga..went and got a an ATI pci express card back then to fix this problem | 01:08 |
| nico480 | so does anyone have any idea about how i can get this setting changed? | 01:11 |
| plazz | did you install the nvidia driver? is 800x600 the highest resolution you can see in System Settings > Display? | 01:12 |
| nico480 | yes 800x600 is the highest res. that she has | 01:13 |
| plazz | and you installed the driver? | 01:14 |
| nico480 | nope it came with the computer | 01:14 |
| nightwlkr | http://kubuntu-newbie.blogspot.com/2005/09/installing-nvidia.html | 01:15 |
| nightwlkr | or u can try this way | 01:17 |
| nightwlkr | sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 01:17 |
| nightwlkr | sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 01:17 |
| nightwlkr | sudo nvidia-glx-config enable | 01:17 |
| nightwlkr | hard way..easy way..u choose :P | 01:19 |
| ddo | :) | 01:19 |
| nico480 | ok that really didn't get me anywhere honestly | 01:20 |
| nightwlkr | why not nico480? | 01:20 |
| nico480 | ok last one says command not found | 01:21 |
| nightwlkr | did the first 2 install? | 01:21 |
| nico480 | second says already newest version | 01:22 |
| nico480 | and first one says you should explicitly select one to install | 01:23 |
| nightwlkr | urs is 173 no? | 01:24 |
| nico480 | yes | 01:25 |
| nico480 | but it says 180 is the reccommended setting | 01:26 |
| nightwlkr | sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 | 01:26 |
| nightwlkr | it's 35.1 mb i hope u have a fast connection..not like mine :P | 01:27 |
| nico480 | after this operation 4026kb disk space will be freed continue? | 01:27 |
| nico480 | yes right? | 01:27 |
| nightwlkr | ya | 01:28 |
| nightwlkr | honestly i have no clue what i'm doing :P that's what i found on google | 01:28 |
| nightwlkr | seems it worked for others | 01:28 |

| Zeikfried | What kernel was used in 8.04 default installation? | 02:00 |
| JontheEchidna | !info linux hardy | 02:03 |
| ubottu | linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.24.24.26 (hardy), package size 25 kB, installed size 52 kB | 02:03 |
| JontheEchidna | hmm, somehow I recall .22 being default in hardy, maybe that's with all the updates^ | 02:04 |
| Zeikfried | Is it bad to boot up into 8.10 with the 2.6.24-16.30 kernel module? | 02:08 |
| Zeikfried | What command is used to see what wi-fi chip is installed? | 02:09 |
| JontheEchidna | Nah, I don't think that'll hurt anything | 02:09 |
| JontheEchidna | ifconfig maybe? | 02:09 |
| Zeikfried | The wi-fi card i believe he has does not work with the new kernels. | 02:09 |
| Zeikfried | He had it working a little bit in hardy, so i figured we would install an old kernel. | 02:10 |
| Zeikfried | He is running a ralink RT2700E, and it does not work in the newer versions of Kubuntu, and he barely had it working in Hardy. | 02:12 |

| ttong | How's it going friends? | 06:03 |
| ubox | good, how are you? | 06:03 |
| ttong | very very good. | 06:03 |
| ttong | where r u? | 06:04 |
| ubox | canada | 06:04 |

| ttong | thailand | 06:04 |
| ttong | it's raining now, | 06:04 |

| ubox | pressure is dropping | 06:05 |
| ttong | i c | 06:05 |
| ubox | yes, what version are you running? | 06:05 |
| ttong | kubuntu 9.04 | 06:05 |
| ttong | u? | 06:05 |
| ubox | 9.10 | 06:05 |
| ttong | is it good? | 06:05 |
| ubox | can you resume from suspend?\ | 06:06 |
| ttong | i have not sure. | 06:06 |
| ttong | i'm new in ubuntu. | 06:06 |
| ttong | i'm testing it, how to use it. | 06:06 |
| ubox | yes it is great, the only thing i am having trouble with is resume from suspend and there is an issue with the policy kit that is used for packages, so i have to install from the command line but that is alright for beta | 06:07 |
| ubox | i sort of am as well. i used redhat and mandrake years back but was a mac user for the last few years. now i am back and using ubuntu for the first time. | 06:07 |
| ubox | well, kubuntu | 06:08 |
| ttong | ah ha, Good.. | 06:08 |
| ubox | i ran ubuntu 8.10 for the first few weeks on my old powerbook g4 but now i have a newer hp | 06:08 |
| ubox | yes, i like it much better than commercial os's | 06:08 |
| ttong | sound's great. | 06:08 |
| ttong | me too, so i'm going to use it. | 06:08 |
| ttong | is it automatically to update from Beta to stable version | 06:09 |
| ttong | i mean graphic mode (no command line) | 06:09 |
| ubox | i am not sure, i hope so. i've begun customization | 06:09 |
| ttong | because now i'm downloading ubuntu 9.10 and i don't know about that. | 06:10 |
| ubox | the gui for packages of any kind is having a problem with authentication so it may be possible if they fix that, then upgrade the policy kit from command line then use gui for the distro upgrade | 06:10 |
| delaine | hey is any one know where i can get a decent free virtual machine? | 06:10 |
| delaine | does* sorry | 06:10 |
| ubox | delaine, sorry not i. maybe someone does though | 06:11 |
| ttong | virtualbox | 06:11 |
| delaine | yeah should i just type that in kget ? | 06:11 |
| delaine | thanks for think though u box | 06:11 |
| ubox | you could try | 06:12 |
| ubox | i think it should be in there | 06:12 |
| delaine | ok | 06:12 |
| ubox | if not, google 'virtualbox ubuntu package' and you should find it | 06:12 |
| ubox | as a deb | 06:12 |
| delaine | i want to learn virtualmachines | 06:13 |
| ttong | yes, have u ever tried before? | 06:14 |
| ttong | which os that u need to install in virtualmachine? | 06:14 |

| Rhapsody | Since I normally come here when #ubuntu seems to be paying no attention (and I do actually use Kubuntu), how do I compile and install ALSA 1.0.21a on Jaunty? I'm currently using OSSv4. | 07:05 |

| aftermarketgirl | Does setting the panels min/max size work for anyone in kde4? or is it just me? or is it just kubuntu? or... i dunno, it's a bit irritating | 07:09 |

| aftermarketgirl | kalp: i'd probably try "metacity --replace" first... see if compiz is screwing up | 07:14 |
| kalp | aftermarketgirl: what does this command do? | 07:15 |
| aftermarketgirl | you'll lose all your bling, but somewhere to start | 07:15 |
| aftermarketgirl | it will replace compiz window manager with metacity for the session | 07:15 |
| kalp | aftermarketgirl: only for the session , u sure? | 07:16 |
| aftermarketgirl | not totally, but you can always reverse it with "compiz --replace" | 07:16 |
| kalp | aftermarketgirl: ok i am trying now | 07:17 |
| aftermarketgirl | any luck? | 07:18 |
| kalp | aftermarketgirl: it did work!! thanks !! | 07:18 |
| aftermarketgirl | cool | 07:18 |
| aftermarketgirl | but you lost all your 3d effects | 07:18 |
| aftermarketgirl | if you want to fix them... there's something wrong with your compiz config | 07:19 |
| aftermarketgirl | like it's calling the wrong window decorator or something | 07:19 |
| aftermarketgirl | it should be somewhere in "desktop effects" preferences or... something | 07:20 |
| aftermarketgirl | dunno | 07:20 |
| aftermarketgirl | i'm just some geek | 07:20 |
| aftermarketgirl | but if that doesn't have a setting for it, you can install "ccsm" or "compiz config settings manager" | 07:21 |
| aftermarketgirl | kalp_: crash? | 07:22 |
| kalp_ | aftermarketgirl: crash? no, it worked | 07:23 |
| aftermarketgirl | cool | 07:23 |

| kalp_ | aftermarketgirl: u said no bling | 07:24 |
| aftermarketgirl | yeag | 07:24 |
| aftermarketgirl | yeah | 07:24 |
| kalp_ | aftermarketgirl: where u from? | 07:24 |
| aftermarketgirl | basically your problem is in your compiz settings | 07:24 |
| aftermarketgirl | denver, colorado, usa | 07:24 |
| kalp_ | aftermarketgirl: compiz is always causing trouble | 07:25 |
| aftermarketgirl | it's calling the wrong window decorator or something | 07:25 |
| aftermarketgirl | install ccsm and poke around | 07:25 |

| jonathan_ | since i upgraded from kubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 pulseaudio doesn't work anymore. I don | 10:27 |
| jonathan_ | I don't want to keep using PulseAudio, if there is any alternative program which does what pulseaudio does for kubuntu. Alsa didn't work with my 5.1 card for any reason, pulseaudio recognized it automatically and used all 5 channels. So is there soemething else then alsa and pulseaudio which works nice in karmic? | 10:28 |

| ngirard | E: /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-nightly-kdesupport_20091009+svn1033329-0neon1_i386.deb: tentative de remplacement de « /opt/kde-nightly/share/icons/oxygen/128x128/devices/video-display.png », qui appartient aussi au paquet kde-nightly-kdebase | 11:06 |

| compilerwriter | I just installed 9.04 on my little shuttle box. Then I did the updates. There were four restricted updates that did not get installed. What is with the restricted updates. | 12:57 |
| compilerwriter | good morning deviser | 13:05 |
| compilerwriter | or good night as the case may be. | 13:05 |
| jussi01 | compilerwriter: on jaunty? | 13:10 |
| compilerwriter | jussi01 I think so I have lost track of names to version numbers. | 13:10 |
| jussi01 | compilerwriter: if so, then try this in terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:10 |
| jussi01 | !version | 13:11 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 13:11 |

| Matisse | hi | 14:03 |
| Matisse | is there a good tool to resize a lot of images? | 14:03 |
| VousDeux | I've been hoping for a very long time that eventually there would be a patch, but until then I have a problem where while working inside of a vmware guest some of my keyboard functions stop working (ctrl, shift, caps). I have a little script that I manually execute to get them working again. | 14:07 |
| VousDeux | Besides putting this script in the crontab for minute execution, does anyone have any ideas how I can work around this issue? | 14:08 |
| VousDeux | I guess I should have mentioned that it is on my Kubuntu host where the keys stop working...they still work inside of the vmware guest environment. | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | VousDeux, try making a bash script and placing it in /etc/int.d , rename it to an .sh file then update runlevels with sudo update-rc.d...no gurantees but it might work | 14:11 |
| VousDeux | I already have a little script, that I found on the forum, that I keep on my desktop and double-click each time the keys stop working. I guess I'm too ignorant to understand your suggested solution. What should I read to become more enlightened on the subject? | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | !bash | VousDeux | 14:16 |
| ubottu | VousDeux: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | !script | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about script | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | !bin/bash | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bin/bash | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | !bin | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bin | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | ubottu, you suck :) | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about you suck :) | 14:17 |
| VousDeux | I found a man page for update-rc.d...perhaps that will help...thanks for your help. | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | VousDeux, read about bin/bash scipts too | 14:18 |
| VousDeux | Okay...thanks a bunch! | 14:18 |
| VousDeux | Hmmm...it would be cool if I could have the fix script automatically trigger on an error event that is triggered only when the keys stop working. | 14:22 |
| BluesKaj | VousDeux, the vmware guest environment is windows ? | 14:34 |
| VousDeux | Yes. It seems to be something in Excel that breaks the keys in the host. | 14:35 |
| VousDeux | I use the ctrl button alot inside of Excel. | 14:37 |
| Pici | VousDeux: You can configure that hotkey in vbox iirc. | 14:37 |
| sdafsfsf | hi all | 14:38 |
| VousDeux | I don't know anything about vbox...I've been using VMware for many many years. | 14:39 |
| VousDeux | ...since version 3.2 | 14:39 |
| VousDeux | I wonder if there is a feature comparison somewhere that compared vbox to vmware. | 14:41 |
| sdafsfsf | where i can change the language? | 14:42 |
| jtheuer | k control center | 14:42 |
| VousDeux | I found a performance comparison that says vbox uses more RAM and does not use resources as efficiently as vmware. | 14:45 |
| VousDeux | Hmmm....vbox might be worth a look-see. | 14:48 |
| VousDeux | I wonder if I could directly convert a vmware guest to vbox. | 14:50 |
| VousDeux | ...or if I would have to use backup/restore. | 14:51 |
| VousDeux | Oh well...another project on my list at any rate...back to my Samba/LDAP project. | 14:52 |
| VousDeux | Thanks for the helpful suggestions. | 14:52 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about konq-kim | 15:18 |
| VousDeux | Matisse, I don't know of a specific program to recommend, but using the keyword 'bulk' in your search for an image editor should get you where you want to be. | 15:18 |
| VousDeux | ...like 'bulk image resize' | 15:19 |

| BluesKaj | I just got here , what's your situation ? | 16:31 |
| lab | BluesKaj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI read about 9.04. It gives instructions and then says: these instructions are not valid!!! | 16:32 |
| lab | then, it gives a link with a horrible procedure | 16:32 |
| lab | really: never seen such a horrible how-to | 16:33 |
| JuJuBee | BluesKaj: I know it is not supported, but I fought with ATI for months and envy took care of the install in 5 minutes. I went gray | 16:33 |
| BluesKaj | lab, that warning is meant for instructions that follow it , not before/previous to | 16:34 |
| lab | BluesKaj: read more accurately | 16:34 |
| lab | the warning says that the _above_ instructions don't work | 16:34 |

| simon | hint | 18:08 |
| simon | ? | 18:08 |
| Matisse_ | gadget or how its called... | 18:09 |
| Matisse_ | see that thing in the upper right corner? | 18:09 |
| simon | yes - i found such a gadget... but its only showing things in a small nearly transparent window! | 18:10 |
| Matisse_ | you can resize that | 18:10 |
| simon | (and right now i thought about maximizing that transparent window ...Doh!) | 18:10 |
| simon | thanks for your hint ;) | 18:10 |
| Matisse_ | np | 18:11 |
| simon | hmm somehow it doesnt look as good as before... when i maximize it by hand... | 18:13 |
| Matisse_ | genii, so, now I need help :) | 18:20 |
| ubox | what's up? | 18:21 |
| === AaronCampbell_ is now known as AaronCampbell | ||
| Matisse_ | seems like i need the correct device uri for the printer | 18:21 |
| genii | Matisse_: It's a TCP/IP based printer? | 18:22 |
| Matisse_ | dont know. parallel port should mean no, right? | 18:22 |
| Matisse_ | its not a "network printer" if I remember correct | 18:23 |
| genii | Matisse_: Thats right. If it's a USB/Parallel cord and not an RJ45 network cord that it attaches by, then NOT a TCP/IP printer | 18:23 |
| genii | So there would not be an URI for it | 18:24 |

| snarkster | hi | 18:24 |
| snarkster | i was talking to someone yesturday who mentioned just using the gnome network manager since knetworkmanager isnt working for me. how do i do that? | 18:25 |
| snarkster | i already have gnome installed | 18:25 |
| kaddi | snarkster: try entering nm-applet into alt-f2 that should start it | 18:26 |
| smoalne | hello | 18:27 |
| kaddi | !hi | smoalne | 18:27 |
| ubottu | smoalne: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 18:27 |
| smoalne | can someone explain the diff between kubuntu | 18:28 |
| smoalne | and ubuntu? | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | !kubuntu | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 18:29 |
| BluesKaj | !ubuntu | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Ubuntu comes with the GNOME interface. To install that from Kubuntu install the ubuntu-desktop package. | 18:29 |
| genii | !helpersnack | BluesKaj | 18:30 |
| ubottu | BluesKaj: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 18:30 |
| Matisse | Maybe I've choosen the wrong "device" in the printer-change-dialog, but thats what was written on the brother instruction page | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | genii :) | 18:30 |
| smoalne | oh ok | 18:31 |
| smoalne | cause i installed kubuntu | 18:31 |
| smoalne | and it seems like it's just another gui | 18:31 |
| nathalie | how can i install msn on ubuntu | 18:31 |
| genii | smoalne: Correct | 18:31 |
| genii | nathalie: Most people use Pidgin or Kopete, there is also amsn | 18:32 |
| smoalne | how come does my computer have updates like all the time? | 18:33 |
| smoalne | is it unstable or soemthing? | 18:33 |
| snarkster1 | works good.. now how to get rid of knetworkmanager and autostart nm-applet | 18:34 |
| snarkster1 | can someone kick snarkster out so i can change my nick | 18:34 |
| nathalie | ok thanks | 18:34 |
| Matisse | smoalne, no, there are a lot of people working on their own who finish there work at different days, some update come this day and some on the other | 18:34 |
| smoalne | hmmm | 18:35 |
| genii | !ghost | 18:35 |
| ubottu | If you own an IRC nick that is currently being used, you can make it change nicks by typing: /msg nickserv release <nick> <password> | If you have a dead (ghost) connection, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password> | further help in #freenode | 18:35 |
| smoalne | is quassel the best irc client? | 18:35 |

| dschulz | i can get it to work | 18:37 |
| === snarkster1 is now known as Snarkster | ||
| dschulz | it doesn't gets applied from "System Settings", the only way to get it to work is 'setxkbmap -model pc102 -layout us -variant intl' | 18:38 |
| dschulz | the layout that doesn't get applied is English International | 18:39 |
| dschulz | anyone with the same issue? | 18:39 |

| nathalie | what should i do | 18:43 |
| ubox | how are you trying to install? | 18:43 |
| htrejh | nathalie: also, install kmess-kde4, far better imo :p | 18:44 |
| htrejh | nathalie: use the package manager from the kde menu | 18:44 |
| Snarkster | i have placed a link to the nm-applet in the autostart folder. I have also renamed knetworkmanager to ~knetworkmanager is this going to cause an issue? | 18:47 |
| nathalie | where is that=? | 18:48 |
| htrejh | nathalie: simply enter "package" in the search box | 18:48 |
| htrejh | it will appear | 18:48 |
| htrejh | and install it from that (i recommend kopete or kmess on kde btw) | 18:49 |
| htrejh | kopete has webcam, however kmess si far better (install kmess-kde4 to get the latest if you are interrested) | 18:49 |
| htrejh | nathalie: sorry kmess for kde4 is only available from its website | 18:51 |
| * genii smacks htrejh around a bit, feels better | 18:51 | |
| htrejh | why? :p | 18:52 |
| genii | htrejh: Suggesting a program which only becomes more convoluted for a new user to install or use | 18:52 |
| htrejh | sorry, i tought the latest kmess was in jaunty but it's only in karmic, but i recommended kopete, which is imo better than what she was going to install ^^ | 18:54 |
| genii | nathalie: Kopete is your best option for using the MSN system, and it also supports webcam, which Pidgin does not | 18:55 |
| htrejh | nathalie: yes, also did you find it? | 18:55 |
| digitalhead | genii: Pidgin does support webcam on XMPP networks, such as Google Talk, and more should be available by their 3.0 release | 18:57 |

| bjb1959_ | I just installed beta and upgraded and then tried to have the system install the nvidia driver for me but when I reboot the screen is black unless I replace "nvidia" with "nv" any ideas | 18:59 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as nhark | ||
| BluesKaj | bjb1959_, which nvidia card ? | 19:00 |
| ubox | same here | 19:00 |
| ubox | my card is the go 6150, which do you have bjb1959_ | 19:01 |
| digitalhead | htrejh: that's odd, I switched to Pidgin because Kopete wouldn't let me use my webcam or view others | 19:01 |
| Vistaus | hello :) | 19:01 |
| htrejh | digitalhead: really? works fine here last time i tried | 19:01 |
| dschulz | genii: tried with dpkg-reconfigure, but no luck | 19:01 |
| Matisse | is there a "ping" for printers/parallel port? | 19:02 |
| Vistaus | since a few weeks, I can't update svn versions from programs that come from sourceforgee... I get the following error: | 19:02 |
| Vistaus | Ohhhh jeeee: operation is not possible without initialized secure memory | 19:02 |
| dschulz | strange thing is, when kde is starting the layout us_intl works normally, but at some point gets deconfigured | 19:02 |
| Vistaus | what to do about it? | 19:03 |
| digitalhead | htrejh: Kopete kept saying there were missing dependencies. The error pointed me to the Kopete wiki, which had changed and the information wasn't there anymore | 19:03 |
| htrejh | strange, but i'm on karmic btw | 19:04 |
| htrejh | maybe its fixed on +1 ;à | 19:04 |
| digitalhead | Yeah, it probably was. Which is nice because I like how Kopete looks a lot better | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | ubox, you obviously tried the nvidia-glx-185 driver , right ? | 19:05 |
| ubox | ya | 19:05 |
| ubox | why, wrong one? | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | how did you install it , did you remove the default first ? | 19:06 |
| ubox | no, i didn't know there was one installed. i just used apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 | 19:07 |
| BluesKaj | is it working ok ? | 19:08 |
| ubox | nope lol | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | bbiab , post/mail has arrived | 19:08 |
| ubox | if i try to use the nvidia driver instead of nv it does not start the module for xserver | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | ubox, if you want to wait for a few mins I have a procedure which may work for you | 19:09 |
| BluesKaj | BRB | 19:09 |
| jhutchins_lt | ubox: How are you choosing which driver you use? | 19:09 |
| ubox | sure blueskaj | 19:09 |
| Vistaus | anyone? | 19:10 |
| ubox | jhutchins, i tried the hardware tool but that didn't work, just restarting x works. it changes the xorg.conf file | 19:10 |
| Matisse | is there a "ping" for printers/parallel port? | 19:13 |
| Matisse | something like command line printing? | 19:15 |
| Matisse | which causes printing besides all driver problems | 19:15 |
| === gwydionwaters is now known as ubox | ||
| BluesKaj | ubox, remove the driver in the terminal | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | ubox, i rescued my X/screen by doing this :1) ctrl+alt+f1, login as user. 2) stop X with : sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop . 3) sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-185 . 4) start X with : sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start | 19:20 |
| ubox | i got it to work, i just reinstalled the nvidia-185-kernel-source | 19:20 |
| ubox | with apt-get install --reinstall | 19:20 |
| ubox | now it works | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | ok good | 19:21 |
| ubox | yes, thanks for the help | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | the kernel source is troublesome with some cards, it doesn't choose the proper driver upon installation | 19:22 |
| Pavel_ | does anyone know how to bypass proxies on a wireless connection? | 19:23 |
| ubox | apparently, you would think it would work the same on initial installation | 19:23 |
| ubox | i wonder if suspend/resume works now | 19:24 |
| BluesKaj | yeah but I think some cards are confusing the kernel source upon install , it sees it as a different or unrecognized model and reverts to nv | 19:26 |

| alexis_ | how to set up border color when mouse hover window's names in the task manager in kde 4.3.2? | 20:13 |
| alexis_ | it is not the same that button background color | 20:17 |
| Mamarok | alexis_: do you use the default theme? | 20:20 |
| alexis_ | yes but personalised | 20:21 |
| alexis_ | it appaers blue | 20:21 |
| Mamarok | check in the systemsettings -> apperance, personalized means you need to check yourself what you changed | 20:22 |
| Mamarok | and personalized != default :) | 20:22 |
| milian | is it OK to format a new partition _in 9.04_ with ext4? or should I upgrade first and create the new partition then? | 20:22 |
| milian | any known problems in the old version? | 20:22 |
| alexis_ | apperance -> color then ?? | 20:23 |
| Mamarok | milian: I stayed with etx3 in 9.04 and changed to ext4 with Karmic | 20:23 |
| Mamarok | alexis_: I don't know, since you personalized it, I guess that's where you changed it, no? | 20:23 |
| milian | but you are not aware of any problems in the underlying tools in regard to ext4 under 9.04? | 20:23 |
| alexis_ | not didt change it | 20:24 |
| Mamarok | milian: I wouldn't, since you probalby need the new kernel for it | 20:24 |
| alexis_ | i use defaut themes | 20:24 |

| milian | well, the kernel in 9.04 already supports ext4 | 20:24 |
| alexis_ | i use oxygen | 20:25 |
| milian | maybe I should ask somewhere else | 20:25 |
| Mamarok | Kristinn: from 9.10 to 9.10: install kubuntu-desktop, else ask in @ubuntu+1, please | 20:25 |
| Kristinn | Ah, thanks :D | 20:25 |

| daimonie_ | Hey | 20:49 |
| daimonie_ | I got a question | 20:49 |
| daimonie_ | :) | 20:49 |
| daimonie_ | I just installed kubuntu, but it would appear that vista fucked something up and itś now missing BOOTMGR | 20:50 |
| daimonie_ | which is usually fixed by using repair mode Vista installation discs | 20:50 |
| daimonie_ | But i got no clue as to where my disc is | 20:50 |
| daimonie_ | Any ways of doing this just frm my kubuntu installation? | 20:50 |
| kaddi | you should be able to download an emergency cd for vista, which will offer you recovery console and similar to fix vista | 20:51 |
| Mamarok | Kristinn: looks like your mirror is not reachable | 20:51 |
| Mamarok | you should try with the main server | 20:51 |
| Kristinn | Ah, but my ISP has a really, really, really limited data cap. | 20:52 |
| Mamarok | daimonie_: you installed Vista after Kubuntu? | 20:52 |
| daimonie_ | No, the other way around - i had a running vista installation with around 10GB free, which is now occupied by Kubuntu | 20:52 |
| Mamarok | daimonie_: then you can restore grub | 20:53 |
| Mamarok | !grub | 20:53 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:53 |
| Mamarok | see the first link above | 20:53 |
| Mamarok | Kristinn: and there is only one mirror I guess? | 20:53 |
| daimonie_ | Grub is working, its just that when i hit the "windows vista" entry, i get a message from vista that "BOOTMGR" is missing (checking out the link now) | 20:53 |
| Mamarok | daimonie_: are you using grub or grub2 in Karmic? | 20:54 |

| Mamarok | Kristinn: well, since the 404 shows that the mirror doesn't have these packages, you don't have much of a choice | 20:55 |
| Mamarok | daimonie_: kubuntu alt disc default? what do you mean? wich version of Kubuntu is it? | 20:56 |
| === compilerwriter is now known as Guest85730 | ||

| daimonie_ | HP elitebook, it has some recovery stuff installed somewhere | 20:59 |
| daimonie_ | It might just have them XD | 20:59 |
| daimonie_ | Lets check that in a minute | 21:00 |
| daimonie_ | Else iĺl just try and find my Vista disc | 21:00 |
| daimonie_ | Now, i got another question | 21:00 |
| daimonie_ | I can seem to get my wireless working | 21:00 |
| daimonie_ | Windows wlan properties tells me that its WPA2-Personal with EAP and a password | 21:00 |
| daimonie_ | i downloaded knetworkmanager but it isn really connecting | 21:00 |
| daimonie_ | Which is kinda annoying, because my room is on another floor and there is no LAN cable there | 21:01 |
| daimonie_ | Mamarok: Have you got any idea to fix that | 21:02 |
| kaddi | daimonie_: that was the wrong link. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-make-a-windows-vista-repair-disk-if-you-dont-have-one/ | 21:02 |
| daimonie_ | Mamarok: Mmk, thanks for that one. And about the wlan troubles? | 21:04 |
| kaddi | daimonie_: if you ask me, try replacing networkmanager with wicd (another connection manager). It's been working much better for me. But maybe someone else has a better idea. (wicd will remove networkmanager, so if this does not run through smoothly, you might be left without a networkmanager) | 21:07 |

| egenature | hi evryone | 21:56 |
| Mannequin | and I'm talking about common WEP wi-fi networks, nothing fancy | 21:56 |
| jhutchins | Mannequin: wifi troubleshooting is rather difficult, especially since all we know about these hotspots is that you can connect with windows. | 21:58 |
| Mannequin | jhutchins: thanks. Yes, I understand. What really disconcerts me is that the KNetworkManager doesn't give any kind of feedback on what's going on on the background... | 21:59 |
| Mannequin | I wonder if other methods/commands (like using iwconfig) are still valid to connect to wi-fi networks | 22:00 |
| jhutchins | Mannequin: Very few tools do, on either OS. | 22:00 |
| Mannequin | (on Kubuntu 9.04) | 22:00 |
| jhutchins | Mannequin: Yes, they are. | 22:00 |
| jhutchins | I got a connection fixed by simply issuing "iwconfig ath0 associate" | 22:00 |
| Mannequin | jhutchins: thanks. I will have to refresh my mind to see how that worked | 22:01 |

| Daimonie | Hai | 22:27 |

| Daimonie | I fail once more, i accidently removed network-manager. However, i can't reinstall it (i 'm using my kubuntu cdrom as package provider) | 22:28 |
| Daimonie | it tells me: Depends libdbus-1-qt3-0 but is not installable | 22:28 |
| Daimonie | So i'm wondering how i'm going to fix this without reinstalling it all | 22:28 |
| Daimonie | Has anybody got a clue? | 22:28 |
| Daimonie | Mamarok: Are you still there ? :# | 22:30 |
