[00:00] maybe it's a problem with remote users [00:00] i'm back. the problem goes away after I change the session in kdm. auto login is workin fine now [00:00] that remote users are not allowed to run stuff [00:00] but when i sudo plasma it starts, only everything on desktop is root, and i cant change back to normal user [00:00] talvik: gz :) === LJL is now known as lJl [00:01] tred: thats why you shouldn't start x apps as root [00:01] seems remote users would be blocked from blocked sudo before blocking anything else [00:01] especially not apps that start other apps and gui stuff [00:01] what's the error message when you try to start as normal user? [00:01] im not trying to start anything as root, except as a fact i cant start it otherwise [00:02] without the exact error message nobody can help you cause nobody knows whats goin on :D [00:02] i think it was command not found [00:02] lun4tic: what do you think of the default font size? [00:02] is the vnc kde running in some sandbox? [00:02] brb, i will check again, with normal user /usr/bin/ plasma [00:03] talvik: what's with the font? [00:03] standard x11vnc [00:03] didn't get that question [00:03] are there steghide users? [00:03] brb [00:03] lun4tic: i think the default is 8 [00:03] in kdm? [00:04] or what [00:04] in kde after login [00:05] if i only want one instance of firefox to open do i delete the default profile of firefox? [00:05] dejavu sans 8 [00:05] yes [00:05] @talvik [00:06] ncfi1013: what does the number of profiles have to do with the number of instances firefox starts? [00:07] ncfi1013: normally there is only one instance [00:07] lun4tic: everytime i opened firefox two instances would open at the same time [00:07] hm.. [00:07] opening it from where? just a desktop icon ? [00:07] the real binary? [00:08] or are you running some script [00:08] carpii: opening it using alt-f2 [00:08] "ps aux |grep firefox" what das that say? [00:08] other them those two, there are only a few kde rough edges. plugins and driver installer works fast, easy and works! [00:09] lun4tic: "ps aux |grep firefox" run that in the terminal? [00:09] yes [00:10] it should show your grep command [00:10] and the running instances of firefox [00:12] lun4tic: is there a space between the pole and grep? "| grep" like that? [00:12] doesn't matter [00:12] oh ok [00:12] spaces only matter in word processing apps and in login/passwords [00:13] lun4tic what does this mean: ncfi1013 18802 0.0 0.0 3336 796 pts/2 S+ 18:13 0:00 grep firefox [00:14] that is the programm you are running [00:14] ps aux shows all processes you have running [00:15] | gives the output to the app behind the | [00:15] and grep firefox shows only the firefox lines in the output of ps aux [00:15] lun4tic so i can keep the default firefox profile and it wont hurt anything? [00:15] so it's a "command chain" somehow [00:16] there is an explenation about pipes in the ubunchu comix [00:16] not at all [00:16] thanx [00:16] http://doctormo.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/ubunchu-chapter-02-is-here/ [00:17] <`Onyx> IS there a manual way to change the time on my clock? It's changed to daylight savings setting for some reason [00:19] `Onyx: there's a time and date applet in the system settings [00:19] damn the time server still, doesn't work [00:20] <`Onyx> Where might I find those avihayb?

[00:25] lun4tic: the msg i get when i try to start plasma as user is the msg about COMPOSITE-less [00:26] when i sudo plasma i get no such msg [00:26] the default g++ in kubuntu isnow 4.4 === lJl is now known as LjL === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:10] tred: so turn of compositing locally [01:10] then i guess it will work [01:11] compisiting doesn't work over network i think [01:11] Would anyone happen to know of an Irssi script (or other sort of script that works with or could be easily adapted to work with Irssi) that can give me a 'now playing' function with Amarok? The old one I had has been broken since KDE 4. === jscudder is now known as scudder [01:11] tred: so when you want to use the system over vnc don't turn on the fancy 3d stuff [01:13] Hi ! I have troubles installing ati drivers. Downloaded many packages and followed many how-to's. Clicking the green button in the Hardware Driver GUI won't do anything. Anyone can help ? [01:15] I edited xorg.conf and caused crashes. Makes me wary of doing anything. I badly need a hand... [01:19] does anyone know how to turn of mouse wheel desktop switching? [01:20] no one around? [01:20] uhh lemme look [01:20] thanks :) [01:21] ubox, you mean while hovering on the desktop? [01:21] yes [01:23] ubox: sorry i cant find it [01:23] should be possible in 4.4 once it's relesaed, from what I hear around the dev blogs^ [01:25] I'm runing kde/openbox, and it's on by deafult [01:27] Hi ! I have troubles installing ati drivers. Downloaded many packages and followed many how-to's. Clicking the green button in the Hardware Driver GUI won't do anything. Anyone can help ? [01:28] have you tryed the envyng package? I'm not recommending it [01:29] thanks for the help :) [01:29] envyng ? never heard of it [01:30] charles_: and, what card model [01:30] Just loaded ubuntu for the first time about a day ago and I've got the hang of it already! [01:30] Just thought Id say that! [01:30] hows kde 4.x looking these days? many issues ? I tried 4.1 and it was utter rubbish [01:30] maurice: great! [01:30] but im facing facts that i gotta migrate at some point :/ [01:31] carpii: 4.2 was decent and 4.3's got some great touch-ups [01:31] Cheers MACO [01:31] maurice: welcome to the community :) [01:31] is it stable? [01:31] tHANKS A LOT GUYS [01:31] but still systemsettings does not have administrator mode... [01:31] ooops [01:31] carpii: It's a bit heavier, but since 4.2.2, it's fully useable [01:31] or is there a 'outstanding bug list' i can view ? [01:31] heavier as in cpu/resources? [01:31] kpackagekit can't switch to root for installing [01:32] carpii: 4.3.1 is whats in 9.10 [01:32] yhe, I guess, It's just slower. I've installed 9.04 on this p4 1.5GHZ with 512MB not a high end machine [01:32] yeah, im still on 8.04 though [01:32] i darent risk upgrading until i hear good things :( [01:33] carpii: kpackagekit is rather boned. either install synaptic or use the command line if youre comfortable with that. other than that, looks good [01:33] a lot depends on graphic card in kde4 [01:33] and it was slow, alt tabbing was very annoying. at first I installed kde3, it sped things up abit [01:33] hm, i normally use adept tbh, but by cmdline you mean sudo apt-get ? [01:33] avihayb: did you have compositing turned on? [01:33] carpii: yes, apt-get [01:34] ok thanks [01:34] try aptitude [01:34] carpii: no kde4 adept, so kpackagekit is in use in 9.x, but its kinda broken [01:34] sobczyk: either works [01:34] i take it theres no way to roll back after? without backing up entire drive ? [01:34] had it on and of. sometimes, compositing would actually speed things up [01:34] carpii: nope [01:34] ok, thanks [01:34] *shrug* i dont use kwin. im a tiling window manager type [01:35] except the admin mode and kpackagekit (which is installed by default somehow) the 9.10 is really great :) [01:35] I never could adept to adept. actually, the way I see it, adept never adapted to people, so it got extinced... [01:35] avihayb: sounds right to me! [01:36] i got so brain-boggled trying to figure out adept to fix a friend's system, i gave up and went command line. i was a gnome user at the time [01:39] maco: I'm a kde user, and the first software I install is synaptic [01:39] i only switched to kde when 4.2 came out [01:39] people asking for help with 4.0 confuse me [01:48] computers really piss me off some times...

I can't tell if its locked up [02:26] the cursor says busy and the monitor will turn off eventually but there is no hard drive activity and it just seems to be taking a while.. its a 200gb partition that i'm formatting so i'm hoping that's the issue [02:27] It ahouldn't be [02:28] I suggest you go to the liveCD, install something nice like gPartEd, format by yourself, and then retry installing if it's an issue [02:29] well im going to hop in the shower and if its still idling when i get out i'll give it a shot [02:29] mine took a little while on a 150gb, long enough i touched the mouse a few times to keep the screen awake [02:30] ubox.. well i hope that's all it is [02:30] me too :) [02:34] there is a guy called charles__. if he comes by and asks for me, please tell him I went to sleep [02:34] ok === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [02:46] hmm its still going... :( === lucas_ is now known as I_was_lucas [03:09] The USB install (w. persistent changes) mode from the live CD will create an installation that keeps changes in memory until system shutdown, minimizing wear on flash media, am I right?

I get an error that kdm-kde4 is already shut down when I shut down. [03:55] I'd assum I can just execute a "sudo update-rc.d -f kdm-kde4 remove" with no side effects.
