Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:19] Question, while I was at work one of my family members accidentally close my console window, the kicker was I started a distro upgrade before I left, it was still downloading, any way for me to find out what is said before it got closed [00:20] !pg [00:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about pg [00:20] amik: that was portuguese not spanish ;) [00:20] jeiworth: I had a dilemma there :-) [00:21] hehe [00:21] but figured it's readable enough to both, especially in that direction [00:21] yeah, it should be understandable to him [00:21] and didn't know the pg letters ;-) [00:21] hmm my amarok is b0rk :( [00:21] *g* [00:21] after i installed my ati fglrx driver and xconfig yakuake popdown very very slow...any fix for this? [00:24] There is possible like in windows 7 (mini preview / eliipse tabs) example : http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8396/74754754858.jpg [00:25] Shoshana: no idea how it works in win7 but my kde gives me small previews when i hover [00:26] me too. u need desktop effects enabled though (which is done by default, but may not run that way off a livecd I think) [00:27] ah yes [00:28] Shoshana: r u using a live cd or full installation? [00:29] full === david is now known as Guest22277 [00:30] do u have desktop effects enabled? [00:30] what should I do if my dist-upgrade to 9.10 went very, very poorly? [00:31] anyone ever close a console window during update? [00:31] Huntz23: no, that would be silly :-p [00:33] crazy6: try a sudo aptitude full-upgrade, if something goes wrong it will normally tell you what command to try next, iirc i had to do a dpkg --reconfigure -a [00:33] Shoshana: check in system settings -> desktop that effects are turned on, and in the all effects tab that 'taskbar thumbnails' is selected [00:33] obrigado [00:34] amik: I know its silly, but it happened [00:35] amik: I think my missus checked her email and closed it [00:35] jeiworth: dpkg-reconfigure -a ? [00:36] Huntz23: I'm not sure if running update-manager again will resume, it might work. if not there's a command to complete partial installation, I think apt-get install -f but not sure [00:36] crazy6: dont remember exactly, i had to cancel upgrade since the oo-faststarter applet wouldnt close, so i had to continue in the shell, when i tried to aptitude full-upgrade it told me to try a dpkg -something [00:37] Huntz23: or dpkg-reconfigure -a, sorry I'm a bit unfocused at the moment [00:37] isn't there a command to give my the last output in the console [00:38] hmmm, let me see, cuase dpkg -configure -a didnt do anything it said that the database was locked [00:39] jeiworth: hrm, ok, well, fullupgrade installed some more packages... lets try a reset... [00:39] Huntz23: if it's locked, either the upgrade process is still running, or the lock needs to be cleaned up [00:40] Huntz23: or some other instance of package management app is running [00:40] amik: she closed everything [00:40] I wonder what will happen if I restart? [00:40] do I do a release check it says I ahve hardy [00:40] Huntz23: mmm.... I think u should try continuing upgrade without restart, just in case the system is in half-stable state or something [00:41] oi, that was a typo flurry, I meant I did a release check and it said I was in hardy, I started from gutsy [00:41] but the kernel didnt change, and wouldn't until restart right? [00:41] apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't do anything either? or running update-manager? [00:42] well if it thinks I am in hardy will it try to go to 8.10? [00:42] although, if you're sure it stopped while still downloading (before starting the installation), then ur safe, but restart probably won't gain u much, no? [00:43] right, but I am sure it finished downlaoding [00:43] what happens when u try all the above commands? [00:43] becuase I started the upgrade from gutsy [00:43] hello everyone. am using Kubuntu Kermic and Debian Lenny. how can I connect those two computers wirelessly, and connect to the internet with one through another? [00:43] id restart after a distupgrade, just to make sure it worked ok [00:43] youve more chance of recovering from a bad upgrade to a single version, than if youve gone through 2 major versions and its fubarred [00:44] and now a now lsb-release tells me I am running Hardy === spork_ is now known as Dagless [00:46] ok, 'sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade' give me this ' 'E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root? [00:46] Huntz23: it looks like there's an update-manager log file (actually /var/log/apt/term.log), if that's what u were looking for before [00:46] Huntz23: must be su (#) [00:46] Huntz, check youre not running another terminal or running a gui package manager maybe ? [00:47] and yeah, sudo [00:47] Huntz23: and yes, some other dpkg running [00:47] hehe [00:47] hrvoje: or maybe the lock remained locked when the update abruptly died, so u need to kill the lock and then u can start over [00:48] I dont see any others running [00:48] I only ahve one desktop running [00:48] in ps aux ? [00:48] amik: yea more probably even, because it isnt' saying that couldn't lock dpkg, but /../lock [00:48] hello everyone. am using Kubuntu Kermic and Debian Lenny. how can I connect those two computers wirelessly, and connect to the internet with one through another? [00:49] arr [00:49] its was closed this morning at 9:14 hmmm [00:49] I think u can just delete the lock file (sudo) and start over === ola is now known as Guest72419 [00:50] hi i run feisty fawn and im thinking about doing the upgrade. if i choose the upgrade option from the adeptmanager program, will it upgrade to 8.04 and then ill choose it again to install 8.10 etc or does it upgrade straight to 9.10 [00:50] ? [00:50] it will do nothing [00:51] Huntz23: the locks are just there to prevent multiple package manager instances or GUIs from changing the system concurrently, which would be troublesome. if there's no such app running, it's just a leftover and u can delete it to free things up [00:51] Jabal al Lawz - ForLifesAnswers [00:51] Guest22277: # apt-get dist-upgrade (and make sure to have repos of new distro) [00:51] because fiesty is End Of Life Release [00:51] I just came from there, to gutsy and now to hardy [00:52] when a version is no longer supported, they dont even provide the repos to upgrade ? [00:52] Guest22277: did you get that [00:52] Guest22277- you'd have to upgrade to each version in between. It would probably be easier to do a clean install [00:52] hrvoje: if i dist-upgrade will it just upgrade to the repos that i have in my sources.list? [00:52] ati driver made yakuake pop down very slow cand you advice this fix [00:52] ? [00:52] Guest22277: of course, it's his source of information [00:53] n16h7f0x: my Yakuake also isn't the fastest one :( [00:53] hold on, fiesty repo are old [00:53] n16h7f0x: you sure it's coz of drivers? i also have ATI ones [00:53] before ati driver installed worked instantly now has a lag and it's really annoying [00:53] n16h7f0x: it all work fine in KDE3, but in KDE4 it's slow [00:54] kde3+compiz=yakuake slow [00:54] 2 [00:54] but if you like command line I ahve the page that I used to go from Edgy to Hardy [00:54] if i do a clean install of 9.10 on my feisty fawn box, will it upgrade all my packages or will it overwrite everything? [00:54] but KDE3 without compiz - yakuake works fine :) [00:54] hrm dangit, flashplugin-nonfree is broken, and I can't uninstall or reinstall it [00:55] after upgrading to 9.10, everytime i login, i get a pop-up box from kresource migration tool. [00:55] hrvoje, so any suggestions to fix this "bug" [00:56] when i say overwrite everything, will it overwrite configuration files, my home directory etc, or is the 9.10 install smart enough to upgrade the distro and keep configuration files? [00:56] crazy6: sometimes a dpkg-reconfigure helps it (for me, when I had these problems) [00:56] because id like to move to kubuntukde3karmic [00:56] as i dont really like kde4 [00:57] n16h7f0x: no , sry [00:57] n16h7f0x: get rid of compiz :) [00:57] amik: unfortunately, it just says that it is broken or not fully installed [00:57] hrvoje, don't have compiz [00:57] only ati driver installed [00:57] n16h7f0x: you have KDE3? on Debian it works fine with KDE3 [00:58] kde4 [00:58] and with ati drivers.. ok then it's KDE4, not ati drivers :) [00:58] crazy6: and a repair also fails? [00:58] what i guess i mean, will the 9.10 distro cd upgrade an kubuntu installation or will it overwrite it? [00:58] anyone know how can I connect two computers (Kubuntu Kermic and Debian Lenny)? [00:59] define connect [01:00] Brhad56: wirelessly connect so I can go to net with one through the other (and share files if possible) [01:00] amik: do I do that with apt-get? dpkg ? [01:00] Brhad56: the one which is already connected is connected via cable [01:01] hrvoje: A wireless router is the easiest solution. [01:02] Amik: here is the pastebin from my intall log http://paste.ubuntu.com/308064/ [01:02] Brhad56: not possible, not my network (but all is legal, don't worry) [01:02] crazy6: maybe apt-get install -f (fix broken) will help [01:02] Brhad56: am in dorm [01:02] hrvoje: Dorm won't allow wireless router? [01:03] hrvoje: how the fux do all the peeps with laptops use internet? [01:03] amik: hrm, that doesn't work, dpkg returns error that package is in inconsistent state [01:03] Brhad56: don't have phone number here, and why? i heard it's possible to do what i want :) [01:03] Brhad56: via cabel [01:04] crazy6: so maybe there's a dpkg option to clean up or repair [01:04] hrvoje: what does a phone number have to do with it? What you're trying to do is possible, but I don't think its what you want. [01:04] Brhad56: we're connecting here through dashboard of a dorm [01:04] Brhad56: so you mean with some switch? [01:05] Brhad56: it ought to be the way to connect one computer to the internet through the another one [01:05] Huntz23: what makes u think the upgrade didn't complete? [01:06] did you check my pastebin? [01:06] hrvoje: Yes, there is. I don't know how to do it though. I just don't understand why a router won't work. [01:06] anyone know how to connect one computer to the internet through the another one? [01:07] amik I dont know what it did [01:07] Brhad56: because why whould i buy a router when that's also possible [01:07] so if its locked and I remove the lock and its not done, what happens? [01:07] Huntz23: "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" is the last line printed when running an installation afaik.. and it says 'log ended' too which seems like a pretty graceful shutdown [01:08] how can I connect to Debian irc irc.debian.org here in Quassel? [01:08] Huntz23: if this is the correct log, I'd guess it completed successfully :-) [01:08] yes and now that I read the timestamp amik, i think you might be on to something [01:09] because that was my last step before restart and doin the distro upgrade [01:09] if its locked there must a reason [01:10] I did upgrade and it dosnt allow that [01:10] is there any method i can get my original xorg.conf? [01:10] if i no longer have the file [01:10] Dpkg -config -a says its locked by another process also [01:11] n16h7f0x: try #dpkg-reconfigure xorg [01:12] how can I connect to Debian irc irc.debian.org here in Quassel? [01:12] Huntz23: but u already checked that there's nothing relevant running, right? 'ps -e' and look for dpkg/apt-get/aptitude/update-manager/synaptic/adept/kpackagekit/whatever-package-manager-app-is-on-ur-system [01:13] ok hold on [01:13] hrvoje, doesn'twork [01:14] Huntz23: if there's really no such app running, then just erase the lock file and run the update/upgrade again and see what it says [01:14] hi, when dual booting and selecting kubuntu, it appears a creen like a shell and it says ''grub>'', and can't enter kubuntu [01:15] thanx [01:15] a screen [01:15] amik: here is the out put from that, http://paste.ubuntu.com/308071/ [01:15] mime: that's grub, the bootloader menu thing [01:16] hi all, I want to figure out how to clean residual config, in gnome we could go to synaptic manager and then status and then we would see the residual config. How do we do that in Kubuntu [01:16] but i didnt touch anything [01:16] Huntz23: there's a dpkg running there... === ubuntu is now known as dice1904 [01:17] what i have to put after grub>? [01:18] mime: if all was well, you'd see the grub menu, or just boot into one of the systems, but it seems something is wrong... what changed in ur system? did it work before? did u upgrade? install? [01:18] Amik: your right I totally missed it [01:18] how the heck do I find that though [01:19] no, in other times, when that occured i find a trick, it consists in go to run>chkdsck (or something like that), and then after a bar arrives 100%, then i restart and goes, but no now [01:19] any idea with ckdsc? [01:20] today i erase my karmik koala, that has destroyed my jj [01:21] not worked very well for me :O [01:21] u erased karmic koala? what is your goal? [01:22] bye and thnx [01:22] how can I connect to Debian irc irc.debian.org in Quassel? [01:23] Huntz23: try ps -ef | grep dpkg [01:24] Huntz23: what's the output? [01:24] holy crap [01:25] Huntz23: let's not bring religion into this :-) [01:25] lol, working on pasteing [01:27] amik: here you go, http://paste.ubuntu.com/308079/ [01:28] Huntz23: anything interesting in /var/log/dpkg.log? [01:28] did you figure that paste out [01:29] Huntz23: well, it's configuring a whole lot of packages from the upgrade :-) [01:31] ok, it looks similar to the other log that show a few pckages being configure and finished by 9:14 [01:33] so is it because dpkg didnt finsih the upgraade that we have no log outputs from it? [01:34] the command line shows it's writing the output to file descriptor 49... I'm trying to figure out how to find out which file that is (using lsof) [01:37] Huntz23: I think it should be 'lsof -d 49', but i'm getting multiple results here... wierd [01:37] try it [01:38] when go to hardware settngs to enable my nvidia driver nothing ever happens [01:39] i click enable and nothing happens [01:39] is there something i could do [01:39] restart X? [01:40] or try manual install [01:40] sorry i don't know what that is [01:40] from the nvidia site [01:40] the funny thing is it works ifne with ubuntu [01:40] in ubuntu when i click enable it works fine. with kubuntu it never works [01:40] hmm === kras1 is now known as ipong [01:41] what do you mean, "in ubuntu" [01:41] gnome? [01:41] also with kubuntu it crashes when i try to change hard drive during installation [01:41] yes gnome [01:41] amik: it didnt output anything [01:41] kubuntu is buggy [01:42] hmmm [01:42] Huntz23: well, then I guess u can killl dpkg and maybe try to run it again [01:42] sorry don't know about that, i never used the restricted drivers settings for my nvidia card as far as i know [01:42] i just installed the drivers from the site and it worked fine [01:42] so how do you get the driver installe? [01:42] nvidia.com [01:42] downloads -> linux... [01:43] i am sure that requires a whole page of steps [01:43] worked out of the box [01:43] download it, save it somewhere [01:43] my numpad 0 has turned into 'insert' since koala upgrade. Any ideas how to fix?? [01:43] go to a text tty [01:43] like alt-ctrl-f2 [01:43] login, change to root [01:43] dibs: Turn off numlock? [01:43] amik: for tty it says pts2 [01:43] backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:44] Huntz23: huh? [01:44] then stop the window manager (kdm) [01:44] Qu4z nope [01:44] :-/ [01:44] but bash and ps both show in pts3 [01:44] run the installer [01:44] restart window manager [01:44] that should do it [01:44] if it fails and gui does not start up, restore xorg.conf [01:45] does that mean anything? [01:45] dibs: Go into system settings => regional & language => Keyboard layout => Advanced, and have a look around there? [01:45] will do [01:45] Maybe "default numeric keypad keys" or something [01:45] why couldn't ubuntu be like windows. click install and that's it [01:45] ... it is for me :P [01:45] ;D [01:45] when I did the ps -e is what I am referring to [01:46] what should my ketboard input mthod be set too? [01:46] When I installed Kubuntu, it came up asking me whether I wanted nvidia 1.80, 1.74, or 0.96 (don't remember the exact versions) [01:46] yeah sometimes it is a pain in the ass [01:46] And I chose the recommended option, and ... boom, wobble [01:46] talking about ati cards... x/ [01:46] doesn't work for me [01:46] what should my keyboard input method be set to? [01:46] Huntz23: that means it was running in a console. but it was redirecting dpkg status to file descriptor 49, but it seems from what u said that there's no such thing right now... [01:47] wel it works fine with ubuntu gnome but not kde [01:47] Huntz23: so maybe it's time to kill dpkg and start it over [01:47] It worked fine with kubuntu for me [01:47] dibs: Where is this setting? [01:47] shit, I'm in gnome. doh [01:47] Oh. [01:47] why does gnome have the nice ubuntu store and kubuntu has that ancient manager [01:48] oof, so is that 'pkill 22540' [01:48] *blink* That'd explain why it doesn't work <_< Sorry, I should've guessed that one [01:48] Although it *is* #kubuntu [01:48] So in hindsight that assumption makes sense [01:48] I suggest asking again in #ubuntu :P [01:49] sorry man, default room when I opened up konversation [01:49] i never used kde [01:49] -g- [01:50] dibs: Well, you are using *K*onversation :P [01:50] Huntz23: I guess (I use kill or killall but they're all the same I guess) [01:52] kde is so mch better than gnome but t doesn't seem to get much attention [01:52] kinda buggy [01:52] I prefer KDE too (which is why I'm here, obviously) [01:53] oh my god look http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/219/8867868.jpg i cant do it faster? its metalink [01:53] amik: thanks, hopefully we dont get any broken packages out of it [01:53] And I hate to say it, but KDE gets plenty of love. KDE4 is still new, so of course it's a little flaky, and Kubuntu is kinda lacking in love [01:53] Huntz23: after u kill it, u can try running the command again (without the status-fd parameter) [01:54] Huntz23: and with sudo of course [01:54] KDE4 isn't THAT new anymore.... [01:54] I did update && upgrade and it said to dpkg config -a [01:54] Huntz23: then try it [01:55] I did [01:55] its picked up from where it left off it looks [01:55] crap samba server installs directly in 8.4? [01:56] Huntz23: I hope all goes well... sorry for taking u thrugh some hoops, but I wanted to be sure... [01:57] Huntz23: I've never killed an upgrade in the middle... that would just be silly :-) [01:57] oh, np, I was gonna apologize for jumping you through hoops, because I wasnted to be sure [01:59] Huntz23: did it finish? [01:59] so when I get to config files and it says there are new ones but mine have been modified by me should I just take the new ones and if somethin is not quite right tweak it [01:59] no its askin be about samba.conf [02:00] its say the package maintainer has a new .conf, but mine has been nodified, keep mine or install new one? [02:00] Huntz23: It's safer to take the new one and correct it later, hopefully not too much work. or u can diff and see if it really changed much [02:02] hmm, I dont even rember configuring samba..lol [02:06] Huntz23: well? [02:07] its still workin [02:07] its just asked me about kdesktop [02:08] Huntz23: same config questions? [02:08] yeah [02:09] Huntz23: again, better to use the new ones unless u diff and know what ur doing :-) [02:09] so I am sure I am gonna loose my changing backgrounds [02:09] and my login splash screen, *sniff* all in the name of progress [02:09] laf [02:10] Huntz23: u can always blame the mrs.... [02:10] How do you add auto channel joinings using quassel? [02:10] I can't seem to figure it out [02:11] Amik: somehow I dont think that will fly [02:11] ha, the newer kernel has the locales problem fixed [02:11] Huntz23: then consider it an opportunity for change :-) [02:12] i need help please , i cant resume my download (metalink) its stuck in 98% and stop ! [02:14] amik: anythoughts on this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/308115/ [02:15] Huntz23: no idea... looks like a broken xml configuration file [02:16] Huntz23: maybe u can try a dpkg-reconfigure on it later or somethig [02:17] how do I disable that annoyiing graphic that pops up when I switch desktops? [02:17] ok, its done, time to find out what it does, reatarting now, brb [02:17] i need help please , i cant resume my download (metalink) its stuck in 98% and stop ! [02:18] and update upgrade will fix them or remove hem right [02:18] anyway brb [02:18] Huntz23: sec [02:18] amik: eh? [02:18] Huntz23: maybe just in case, make sure update&upgrade say there's nothing to do [02:19] before restart? [02:19] Huntz23: yep (not dist-upgrade, just upgrade) [02:20] u can also try that reconfigure on the failed one [02:20] its says 8 to remove and 2 not upgraded, continue y? [02:20] Shoshana: can u start over? [02:20] amik : i strated and after half minute its stopped =/ [02:20] Huntz23: sure why not [02:23] amik: that is done now, see you on the flip side [02:23] * amik crosses fingers [02:24] * Huntz23 crosses his too [02:24] Shoshana: sorry, dunno what to do [02:25] amik : i download aagain nevermind =/ [02:25] there is Nokia Ovi for linux?

What is the newest version of Kubuntu that will install on a G4 tower? (not an intel processor) [03:04] Anyone know how to increase font size with kde? [03:05] nikitis: System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts [03:05] X9nLinux9: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427714 [03:06] ebovine - thank you, been fishing around to find the info. [03:06] You're probably better off with a distro that actively supports PPC processors, though. [03:07] http://penguinppc.org/ [03:09] ebovine: I've watched Kubuntu for a long time and had it installed more than once. [03:10] ebovine: Would like to stick with it ... am impressed with its overall quality and will eventually move on to an intel mac... so will eventually be back into the 'supported' area [03:10] Hi All, greetings, which one is the best VPN utility with Kubuntu? [03:13] ebovine: Furthermore, am very happy with how easy it is to get consistent friendly support for questions here regularly when I've had it running [03:14] hehe. Yeah, the community and not being RPM based are really the things that keep me in the Ubuntu camp. [03:15] the best 'other' distro I ever tried was not bad looking... as well as functional and easy, but the support was totally non-existent ... so I gave up on that one. === Bruce is now known as Syk3 [03:17] you know how it goes. Sometimes you gotta have answers to some stuff. If the answers are not available, the computer might as well be a pile of plastic and metal. [03:19] christ i cant stay connected... [03:19] My previous user name was Miakel, I asked about installing *buntu [03:19] both were 64 bit and wouldnt get past the initial screen [03:20] What kind of hardware? [03:20] Ive read 9.10 had some issues though? Currently downloading 9.04 [03:20] 9.10 is pretty fresh. [03:20] Intel Core 2 duo geforce 9600 [03:20] Should be fine. [03:20] yes but it isnt [03:20] What type of drive? [03:21] Western digital WD500 [03:21] Have you tried the text-mode installer? [03:22] I havent [03:22] I will try that next although im pretty new to linux [03:22] Will it boot to the live cd? [03:22] no it wont [03:22] still hangs [03:22] What's the last thing it shows you? [03:23] the Kubuntu logo and the status bar [03:23] thats it [03:23] So it does let you choose a boot option first? [03:23] yes [03:23] why doesnt kubuntu have a server list. that's dumb [03:23] i mean konversation [03:24] ill try the text based install if it hangs again ive just burned 9.04 and will try that [03:24] brb [03:25] Syk3: I think you'll have to download the Alternate CD to get the text installer. [03:28] can ubuntu see windows shared folders over a network? [03:29] yes [03:29] smb://server/share [03:29] From within Dolphin [03:29] That will get you an ad-hoc, temporary mount. [03:32] You can edit your fstab to mount them every time at boot. [03:33] another homerun [03:42] does the version of knetworkmanager in 9.10 finally support WPA2 ? or should I just stick with nm-applet ? [03:43] It supports WPA2 Personal [03:43] So did 9.04 [03:44] Are there any complicated technical issues in the way of WPA2, or is it just that no-one's implemented it yet? (because it's one of the factors stopping a friend of mine using Kubuntu) [03:44] speaking of which, is there any way to start the wireless without having to give another password right after loggin in? [03:45] ok, so, I have nm-applet autostarting somehow.. but I have totally forgotten where that is set up...? [03:45] nothing in my ~/.kde/Autostart/ [03:45] I can't get my system bell to beep nor turn on my numlock/caplock leds [03:49] MaartenLx: You'll need to set the wireless connection up as a system connection. That second password request is to open the KWallet application. [03:49] yeah that's what it is. I'll find some stuff on how to set it up as a system connection. [03:50] I found out how to get my system to beep... I had to sudo modprobe pcspkr its blacklisted on ubuntu [03:50] Bsims: Yeah, by popular demand. [03:50] so is everything huge in kubuntu? or have is it because im virtualizing? [03:50] i refer to text sizes [03:51] Shamoun: It probably detected your font dpi settings wrong. === ubuntu is now known as meme [03:52] System Settings->Appearance->Fonts === meme is now known as memenyc [03:52] Force your font DPI to 120 and see if that's better. [03:56] ebovine, thanks [03:56] Shamoun_: No problem. That used to drive me nuts too. [03:58] ebovine, yea that did the trick, thanks, the vm is now usable [03:58] er do you happen to know of anything in konqueror similar to the "Clear private data" feature in firefox? [04:00] You have to do it all manually under Settings->Configure [04:00] hmm [04:00] thanks [04:01] Get Google Crome (Chromium) out of the official ppa source. It has an incognito mode. [04:02] Why does my kubuntu keeps hanging randomly? Like one moment everything works fine, then the next nothing works, I have to press my power down button to shut the computer down [04:02] oh its fine, its just a virtual machine, i just went to youtube to test flash, and i thought i'd clear all the tracks so i could tar up the archive and post it on the network [04:12] There! figured out the easiest way to make wireless a system connection. :) === s is now known as Guest2128 [04:36] hello everyone [04:37] has anyone had any problems with loosing sound in 9.10 [04:41] hello [04:41] I can't hear any sound on my computer [04:51] ubuntu!

[05:01] mocchi: you're using an nvidia card at all? [05:01] mocchi: if so, then there is a tool, nvidia-settings, which you can use to set them up [05:01] No, I use intel card. [05:02] ahhhhhhhhh [05:02] then I don't know [05:02] alright,I'm going to bed [05:02] okay [05:02] but keep asking here [05:02] and in #ubuntu [05:02] Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:05] * MaartenLx frantically searches for poweradapter :D [05:06] Anyone know how to kill kwin composition effects via commandline? And restart it later after you kill it? [05:10] Hmm.... Quassel crashed on me [05:10] I like Quassel though [05:13] MaartenLx: Quassel is pretty nice, yeah :) [05:14] Yeah I never heard of it before [05:14] I prefer it over xchat [05:14] It's pretty new, I believe [05:14] and I have never been a fan of irsii type irc [05:14] MaartenLx: Wich (k)ubuntu release are you using? [05:14] 9.10 [05:15] I never used 9.04, this was a fresh install. [05:15] me too. Quassel works fine to me [05:15] last time I used linux was actually Ubuntu (gnome) 8.10 [05:15] Interesting feature I just found out about quassel... "The core application can be placed onto a server which is connected to the Internet around-the-clock; one or more clients then connect to the core. This way, the connection to IRC can be kept up even when all clients have been closed." [05:15] Which is what people do with irssi/screen [05:15] mmm maybe the problem is not on Quassel [05:16] FireCrotch: I love irssi, I used on Debian [05:16] Anyone else got a sudden PulseAudio problem just now? [05:16] I hate irssi [05:17] But I had been searching for a way to have my IRC client stay connected all the time, like irssi on a server with screen [05:17] Nailbar: on Ubuntu italian Forum there is many people with pulseaudio problems [05:17] In italian? [05:18] Nailbar: I read on italian forum, because I'm italian. PulseAudio do not work fine at thi time [05:18] I like irssi ^^ [05:18] And screen <3 [05:18] but I use Kubuntu [05:18] The thing is I'm using Kubuntu. I never installed PulseAudio. It just turned up on my computer. [05:18] Apt-get says it's not installed either. [05:19] close one in new orleans [05:19] Nailbar: mmm, are you using ubuntu? [05:19] Kubuntu [05:20] Nailbar: if you use kubuntu purge every pulse pacchage in the system [05:21] Joshua^Dunamis: I don't have any pulseaudio packages in my system [05:22] Nailbar: ok, so where is the problem? [05:23] Joshua^Dunamis: That PulseAudio turned up in System Settings -> Multimedia and stopped my sound from working even though I never installed it. [05:24] Nailbar: did you install phonon? Try to reinstall kubuntu-desktop so you're sure to install correct dipendencies [05:28] hello [05:28] hello miescke === m4v_ is now known as m4v [05:29] Joshua^Dunamis: reinstalling kubuntu-desktop doesn't seem to do anything to its dependencies. They're all there. [05:30] Nailbar: mmm maybe the problem is other. Try with alsamixer on konsole, and see if channels and volumes are correct [05:31] hey guys [05:31] can anyone point me to a tutorial or something so i can fully use my 4gb of ram on this laptop with 32bit ubuntu [05:31] :< [05:32] Nailbar: Are you sure that there is not pulse package in your system? Try dpkg -l| grep pulse* and see the output [05:33] Joshua^Dunamis: Aaa! libpulse has been installed for some reason. [05:33] mmm let's me see I have it [05:34] Joshua^Dunamis: No. That's not it. Everything seems to depend on it. [05:34] Nailbar: I have libpulse, it's not the problem... [05:35] does the NTFS work well in 8.04? [05:36] dunno.... but it works great and out of the box in 9.10 [05:36] Joshua^Dunamis: My original output device, HDA Intel (ALC1200 Analog), which worked yesterday, is now grayed out with PulseAudio the only other uption in the list. [05:36] Huntz23: I never had problems with NTFS in 8.04 [05:36] Nailbar: try to see alsamixer, or witch backend you're using in Settings -> Multimedia [05:36] kooolanl: why not install x64? [05:36] Nailbar: mmm [05:36] X64 Was only server that i found [05:36] That's the problem [05:36] and has bad wifi support i heard [05:37] I run x64 kubuntu 9.10 on my laptop (hp elitebook 6930p [05:37] Joshua^Dunamis: xine is the backend and the only one in the list. [05:37] FireCrotch: thank you, I ahve some files I need to move around in my broken windows install so I figured I would ask before I wasted time on it [05:37] Joshua^Dunamis: Sorry. "Phonon XINE backend" [05:37] Nailbar: install alsa-base and alsa-utils [05:37] how to fix sound in vlc and flash in 9.10? [05:38] MaartenLx no way of doing 32bit and utalize all 4gb [05:38] ? [05:38] Joshua^Dunamis: [05:38] alsa-base is already the newest version. [05:38] alsa-utils is already the newest version. [05:38] i heard someone say its possible [05:38] Nailbar: did you see alsamixer? [05:38] Joshua^Dunamis: Yes. It's there. [05:39] Nailbar: Ok, try to change volume values [05:40] Nailbar: Look at Master, Front, PCM... [05:40] kooolanl: dunno, I haven't tried. But what I do know of PAE (in Windows) and the equivilent in Linux is that you really only can do it if all of your drivers support being loaded in address space above the 4 Gb mark - for instance if you need to use NDISwrapper for you wireless you may not be so lucky. [05:41] Nailbar: with the "m" you turn on the channels on alsamixer [05:41] That being said, I run Windows 7 x64 and Kubuntu 9.10 x64 without any problems on this laptop, and 4 GB is available in both OSes. [05:41] Joshua^Dunamis: Seems to be working. Tested with arecord and aplay. But Amarok and all other KDE-related still tries to use PulseAudio. [05:42] Nailbar: ok, now try to reboot your pc, maybe alsa have to reset it [05:42] Joshua^Dunamis: Okay. Thanks for the help this far. [05:43] how to fix sound in vlc and flash in 9.10? please help, in russian support nobody knows [05:44] flash? just download flash from the repostory..... I got it to work in firefox just fine. [05:44] sound in flash [05:44] vlc? I got it installed, but haven't used it yet. [05:44] hey all [05:44] NermaN: vlc use the gstreamer backend, if you use kubuntu try with phonon-gstreamer-backend package... may be I wrote not correctly [05:44] how are you doin all [05:46] NermaN: not sure.... sound plays just fine here in e.g. Youtube, so I figured flash sounds work :P [05:46] Joshua^Dunamis: Yes! Sound! Thanks for the help! I still don't know how PulseAudio got there in the first place, though. Wierd. [05:46] pulseaudio dont work too [05:46] maybe MaartenLx has working pulseaudio? [05:47] haven't got that installed. Let me see if my VLC works [05:47] Nailbar: Ok, Nice for you [05:48] Nailbar: maybe any pulse package was installed and purged off. [05:48] Yep, sound works in VLC too.... at least with MP3, haven't tried a video [05:48] Joshua^Dunamis: Do you have PulseAudio in your output device list as a fallback option? [05:49] Maarten pulse working? [05:49] Nailbar: yes [05:49] Nailbar: It's on third position [05:49] Joshua^Dunamis: Okay. So it was just my sound card that didn't get initialized correctly. Would have probably been solved through a reboot without all the hassle. [05:50] Nailbar: may be [05:50] NermaN: Haven't got that installed..... but so far I got sound out of everything that I have used and where I expect it to produce sound. [05:50] Joshua^Dunamis: Anyway, thanks again. Now I'm off listening to all them nice sounds everthing makes. Ciao. [05:50] reboot... [05:57] does kubuntu requires internet connection during installation ??? [05:59] ??? [06:03] No. [06:05] On Karmic it say's that I dont have permission to change an Icon image how do I cercumvent this problem? === Avash is now known as LinusTrovalds [06:10] Novice: you're trying to change the default icon set or just a single icon? [06:11] d9500: JUST A SINGLE ICON IMAGE THAT I WANT TO CHANGE [06:11] sry cps [06:12] d9500: say's I don't have permission to but I am the only user? [06:13] Novice: and you right click on the icon, select properties, and then clcik the square box with the icon image in it? or are you using a different method? [06:14] d9500: that is exactly what I am trying to do but it will not let me how do I gain permission to change it? [06:15] novice: well, you could try changing ownership to active user, if somehow the permissions got screwed up. [06:16] novice: though i'm not sure what effect that might have in terms of problems if other users ever need to access it, if you do add other users in the future [06:16] d9500: ANY IDEAS HOW TO CHANGE OWNERSHIP OR LOG IN AS ROOT LONG ENOUGH TO CHANGE IT? [06:17] novice: using kubuntu, right? [06:17] d9500: ARE NO OTHER USERS JUST ME AND MY PC [06:17] d9500: sry dang caps [06:17] d9500: yup [06:18] Novice: If you're trying to change/edit something that isn't owned by your user, use sudo to do so [06:18] !sudo | Novice [06:18] Novice: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [06:19] novice: if you're using a kde desktop, you shouldn't have to do any chown stuff in terminal to change the ownership to the active user. just open dolphin, navigate to /home/yourusername/Desktop and you should see the icon there. right click it and select properties, then move the cursor over root actions, then click ownership to active user. [06:19] lol funny graphical interface is my friend [06:20] d9500: thx very much [06:21] * LinusTrovalds makes novice an expert [06:22] lol thx everyone [06:23] novice: no prob. oh, and as regarding the gui directions, i try to give gui directions as opposed to terminal ones. [06:24] (and probably irritate half the people in the channel since doing so usually takes three times as many lines. oops) [06:24] well I do know how to use the terminal but would't use it to change an icon image [06:29] novice: ah, but assuming my suggestion worked, that probably means the icon image issue was only a manifestation of the actual problem, which was screwed up permissions. that kind of thing is why i prefaced my answer with a bunch of questions , to determine what the underlying problem was; again, that's assuming my answer actually worked.

I'm having absolutely no luck installing kubuntu 9.10 [06:53] humblen: i can try, but if it's partitioning or a bad cd image, then i may not be of much help [06:53] I've checked the CD, and am doing so again right now. [06:54] humblen: what exactly is it doing? at what part of the install does it mess up? [06:54] I've had to resort to the alternate installer, as the graphical one hangs pretty early. [06:54] Currently it hangs on "Detecting network hardware" [06:54] what about the alternate one. how far does it get? [06:55] That's where the alternate one is hanging. [06:55] It hangs at 0% on that process. [06:56] this is going to be one of those dumb 'is the computer plugged in" type questions, but you've tried downloading the image from, say, maybe a different mirror, and burning a second cd? [06:56] besides the alt one, i mean [06:56] I downloaded the CD from the bittorrent feed. [06:57] And, it's at leas internally consistent (it passes it's self-check). [06:57] hmm. the offical ubuntu site is slow, or was last time i checked, but i've never had a problem installing from their iso images. [06:57] what about other live CDs? do you have maybe an ubuntu or fedora or suse laying around, and if so, do any of those find the nic? [06:57] Is it a problem that I have three hard drives with a different linux distro on them? [06:58] I've tried the regular ubuntu CD and it hangs too. [06:59] what kind of nic does your computer have? nothing exotic? [06:59] I've been running gentoo on the machine for a couple of years, but want to switch to kubuntu so I don't have to tinker with it so much.

[07:00] I just want to work on a few plasmoids, and play with kicker and kfile/kio behavior [07:02] does anybody know of a really good set of instructions to set it up [07:04] I'm trying the "expert mode", but it still hangs at "Detecting network hardware".

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:57] eagles0513875: :-P [07:57] skreech: any idea about ssh tunnling or how to go about it [07:57] Read the stupid complaint first [07:57] Fusion64: did you install libxine1-ffmpeg ? [07:57] Depends on what you mean about ssh tunnelling [07:57] skreech: he could also use kubuntu-restricted-extras to install all restricted formats [07:58] YEah but ... yeah [07:58] skreech: i would like to use ssh tunnling to bypass everything thats blocked here at my school [07:58] hey guys. im trying amarok as my podcast manager. is teher any way to make it show the textual description of each episode? [07:58] skreech: I wan't to be able to see a single list/history of updates. I don't actually care how long or in depth each entry is, as along as it's readable and in one place... is there such a thing? [07:59] skreech: would you mind hopping in offtopic as i dont want to drag this channel ot [07:59] Hilikus: Ask in #amarok [07:59] But songbird Has some kind of error That goes by the name " Internal data flow error". The Main and Big Problem is that I Have A usb adsl Modem And i have with that one too. [07:59] amik: I think there might be. Ask in #ubuntu-devel they would be most knowledgeable [08:00] Fusion64: I don't understand you are playing a MP3 stream ? [08:03] skreech: no i cant play any format. im stuck! [08:04] Fusion64: Really? [08:04] Fusion64: http://www.vorbis.com/music/Mists_of_Time-4T.ogg [08:05] Grab that and see if it plays [08:05] I tried The linux Drivers provided by realtek and When i decompressed it,i found out that it was the ALSA Drivers. I tried to compile the source code but im a beginner to linux stuff and im confused [08:06] Fusion64: installing kubuntu-restricted-extras should install any missing codecs as well as other restricted formats such as flash and java if they are not already installed [08:07] Fusion64: Apparently :) You really shouldn't have to put this much work into getting it to .. well work [08:08] Fusion64: First thing is to check to make sure that it's not muted. For some reason some installs mute the sound card so you can't hear anything [08:11] skreech:There is A Little thing i have to say. When i test the analog driver in settings,It Sounds!(As i mentioned above) But I Dont understand whats going on! [08:11] upon upgrading to 9.10, sound no longer works in gtk applications (or at least, rhythmbox and mplayer) it works fine in the System Settings (test) and amarok, etc. any ideas? don't even know what to check [08:13] skreech: No There is a mixer in kde applications and it shows that the sound output is not mute [08:16] skreech: the answer is http://feeds.ubuntu-nl.org/UbuntuChanges, should u ever need it :-) [08:18] ah, PulseAudio is apparently messed up. when i click Test in System Settings -> Multimedia, any sound after that is broken (a message pops up saying the audio device doesn't work). could that be my problem? (and how would i go about fixing that?) [08:24] Hello. Does anyone know about kaffeine in kubuntu karmic srt subtitles support? It was working well in 8.10 and now it doesn't [08:26] ouch, kmail crashes on me when I click "reply" on any email...

[10:33] (im just new to linux myself) [10:38] and jonathan__ , i dont have much experience tunneling firewalls, I just know it could be youŕe school restricts encrypted traffic to ports it expects traffic and blocks it on other ports perhaps [10:38] so to allow encrypted traffic they want and stop people like you ;) :) [10:39] then Luggage why can i ssh into a friends machine [10:39] in or outside school network?

The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [10:40] I need some help installing vmware-server 1 on K9.10 [10:40] !vmware [10:40] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [10:41] indio: check out that link [10:41] well im thinking you have more experience already tunniling firewalls :) [10:41] no i dont [10:41] never done it before [10:41] is there a way to change in okular the default annotating values. f.e. i'm using the annotating tools and in particular the line (6) tool and i'm searching a way to change the default width so i don't have to enter every time the properties menu to change it. [10:42] the succesul attempt with a friend, same port as your unsuccesfull attempt to reach kubuntu.org? [10:42] hi all, after dist-upgrade to karmic my laptop no booty boot [10:43] Luggage: on osx i can get to the site [10:43] something strange on firefox [10:43] weird [10:43] i've tried modifying the /usr/share/kde4/apps/okular/tools.xml but nothing happens. [10:43] khaije, if thatś all the ino you can provide not much anyone can do to help I think [10:43] info* [10:43] it gets to the point in login when it starts to load the disk and seizes, the screen gradually gets lighter and lighter until it cant be read [10:44] not me anyway but im noobish :) [10:44] i've seen this problem before but can't remember how to fix it...

[10:45] I've already checked out that one. I got it working on 9.04, but after upgrading to 9.10 I removed unsupported pkgs... I'll give it another round, after I'll tell you 'bout mu luck... Thanks guys [10:47] is it just me, or the OO.o kde4 integration on kubuntu karmic is currently broken? any work around yet? [10:48] Luggage: it works turns out something with the tunneling [10:48] anywho i need to reboot [10:49] will try this again on thursday [10:52] hi, i'm using jaunty with kde. when i login, dcopserver isn't running and i'm not able to use dcopstart. any ideas? === cesar is now known as Guest52268 [11:00] hi, i'm using jaunty with kde and i'm getting "Error: Could not find service 'konsole-script'." if i run "dcopstart konsole-start". it used to work with hardy kubuntu === theseus is now known as theseusrf [11:13] hello, where can I find a changelog for the new 9.04 Kernel 2.6.31-14 to the old 8.10 Kernel: 2.6.28-16 ? [11:16] I am especially interested in the changelog for scheduling in this kernel [11:20] any particular reason i cant click buttons in flash animations and stuff and have to tab through them only in 9.10 not 9.04 [11:24] oh and why either pulse or phonon likes to turn off my sound when its not in use (and sometimes when it is) so if something stats to use sound or i happen to touch volume control i get a thunderous pop as it reactivates the sound card (or something) [11:25] any hints [11:26] like i didnt mind so much when flash for 64 bit dropped out of full screen whenever i touched system volume but having to tab through everything in it is annoying [11:27] theseusrf: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ i hazard a guess [11:27] Emanon: sorry, wouldn know, im on 9.04 and try and use alsa for most things [11:28] i use xine (through phonon) i assume alsa is lurking in the background there somewhere [11:28] and as far as flash goes, I made the effeort to get the x64 plugin from adobe directly and installing it instead of the package from the repositories [11:28] works fine except for going fullscreen with youtube and the like [11:28] thanks Luggage Ill try :-) [11:28] (although a flash game like machinarium works fine fullscreen ?) [11:29] yea thats the only problem i had with it before .10 and wasnt to put off by it [11:29] np theseusrf I think you can find it somewhere in the wiki [11:30] and the sound doesnt cut off when i have pulse audio volume control open but if i close it it starts cutting off sound every 15 seconds or so whatever i happen to be doing [11:30] like listening to music which is a pain [11:30] comes back on if i alter teh volume or open pulse volume control [11:31] other than that it works awesome i was impressed with how easy it was to setup an encrypted lvm2 file system over a 4 disk raid with removable /boot and mbr [11:32] dont remember exactly (linux newcomer) but had some problems with sound in an app, found advice about using alsa, and since I followed that dvice had less problems, but this is under 9.04 not sure what changed with 9.10 [11:33] the only thing bugging me soundwise now is (sorry but honesty insists) that kubuntu cant do something that is 2 clicks in both windows and osx... switch between my soundcard/speakers and usb headset on the fly (without going into console and using asoundconfig) [11:33] yea only started cutting off inn middle of songs like 2 songs ago before it was just when not in use but when it started inturruptiing my music i got right on it [11:33] Luggage, works fine with pulseaudio on kubuntu for me. [11:33] probably an easy script to make for it, with an icon though.. will have to look into that :) [11:34] Ash-Fox: will have to try [11:34] yea on pulse its just a drop down on output and whatever sound streams are active [11:34] Ash-Fox: I switched to alsa for several things because of problems with the default (don remember if it was pulse) [11:34] thats why i have pulse so i can send different stuff to different devices [11:35] I believe the default setup is to use the pulse sound server which runs on top of ALSA. [11:35] well for now asoundconfig set-default-card NVidia / Headset works for me :) [11:35] I have noticed the majority of problems with sound on Linux is stuff using the old OSS compatability support. [11:35] kmix wouldn switch [11:36] could be but Im araid thatś beyond my less then a week's worth of experience with linux :) [11:36] afraid [11:36] did have to switch to synaptic since kpackagekit refused to install certain things (like restricted extras) id mark them for install hit apply it would go through like 10 seconds of the downloading and installing packages thing then turn off and nothing had happened [11:36] Switching in a GUI, live, is really only a feature that can be done with pulseaudio at the moment. [11:37] yo [11:37] are if/else constructs possible in shellscripts? [11:37] Any recommended EXT drivers for Windows? [11:37] corigo, if pre vista, the ifs ext2 driver [11:37] if vista or higher - none. [11:38] Luggage, not for live switching outside of pulse, no. [11:38] Ash- [11:38] Fox are you familiar with Ext2Fsd? [11:39] Yes [11:39] It's quite broken in vista and higher. [11:39] and unfortunatly i can set phonons backend to gstreamer (which sucks cause its better than xine) if i download the gstreamer backend and use it no sound at all [11:41] Ash-Fox so you recommend IFS over FSD for XP? [11:42] corigo, they're pretty equal in XP. I'd say go with what you prefer. I prefer IFS just because I can get it somewhat working in vista and higher too (with difficulty) [11:42] hi all === rafael_ is now known as ballmer [11:42] is it possible to upgrade a kubuntu machine over konsole? [11:43] apt-get distro-upgrade [11:43] i think [11:43] dist-upgrade sorry [11:43] Emanon: you mean dist-upgrade.. no doesn't work [11:44] other than that the only way i know is the way on the site update-notifier-kde -u [11:44] but that requires gui so only gets started through konsole [11:45] Emanon: in ubuntu server there is an option.. hm.. will try that :) [11:46] Emanon: here you are; http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended) [11:46] anyone else notice if your not in folder view mode on your desktop plasma throws your widgets around? [11:48] yea i guess all in all i like kde but the little annoyances are getting to me hehe [11:49] just lil things like gstreamer being better than xine banshee is better than amarok and songbird but no shoutcast support in it [11:49] but then again theres no shoutcast support in amarok anymore either so... [11:49] irc dropped from kopete [11:51] which is irking me more than it should cause i really do like kde better than gnome but gnome is looking better and better (have unr 9.10 on my moms eeepc and its awesome) [11:52] i think how ubuntu looks is depressing lol :) color scheme etc :) [11:52] yea me too [11:52] just an esthetics thing [11:53] and i like alot of the kde progs better but gnome is seeming more and more consistant and stable thelonger i use kde4 [11:53] i mean the engines are basically the same so weŕe choosing chassis more or less :) and i like kdeś look better, its fresher, less like it came out of my behind colored. [11:53] yea nkr? [11:53] hi. i'm using cryptsetup and lvm to encrypt my system. i upgraded to 9.10 last night. i used the graphical upgrade and it got stuck in some moment. afterwords i ran sudo dpkg --configure -a and the upgrade was finished. now i cant pass the password prompt and get the following errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/308419/ . i already tried the steps from the luks faq (http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=LUKSFaq) but everything looks [11:53] fine. running update-initramfs in a chrooted environment, i get the error "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab -". i have found many forum posts about this, but no solutions. can anybody help me? [11:53] yan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:54] besides nothing stopping you using gnome apps anyway, i do :) [11:54] and i like ktorrent better than deluge or transmission but i dont like having most of kde just for that hehe [11:54] lol [11:54] well a few default apps got scrapped after install [11:55] i know that but most of the apps are good kde side its the base that seems nicer gnome side [11:55] bye browser hello firefox, kicked out default messenger for pidgin, synaptic for packmanaging etc. I do like dolphin a lot [11:55] * amik has only seen floodbot bark at ppl during legitimate chat... hopes someone will change its threshold (or algorithm) [11:56] yea just some stuff is nicer in kde but other stuff sucks ALOT === max is now known as Guest28328 [11:57] ah well so far nothing stopped me running "gnome" apps openftd required just about the whole gnome desktop to be installed, but afterwards runs fine under kde. (if diskspace is no objection) [11:57] where with gnome its like your on some kind of mood altering drug, things arent as uber where their good but their not as sucky where they're bad either [11:57] actually my problem isnt necessarily a kubuntu issue, so i'll try in #ubuntu.. [11:57] I just couldn stare at the gnome all day tbh lol [11:57] diskspace isnt really an objection i have 2.5 TB but i dont like the whole duplication of labor that comes with haveing pretty much 2 full desktops installed for a few progs [11:57] why i went for kubuntu for my first real desktop use of linux [11:58] I knew I wanted *buntu anyway kde looked less depressing (i have chronic depression disorder as it is lol) [11:58] so I went with the happier flashier blue ;) [11:58] i started with slackware but wasnt up to the task then tried mandriva for quite a while then debian and fedora wanted to use kubuntu but refused untill i learned encrypted filesystems were supported on the alternate cd [11:59] i still try out the main ones (slackware, debian, fedora)when they come out with new versions to see if whatever one i like at the moment is stil best for me [12:00] lol my first real use of linux started with backtrack 4 live cd :) [12:00] id be using slackware right now if i could get my partitions set up on it i cant get my initrd to work properly with this same setup [12:01] first as an interest to check for mysel how good/bad the situation with privacy and security is with the wifi revolution in progress [12:01] and i wont work on an unencrypted system (unless its windows in which case im not doing ANYTHING with it) [12:01] !ot [12:01] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions.

[12:49] nikitis: you can disable/enable compositing with Alt+Shift+F12 [12:49] ulysses__: not quick enough. I need it for a script to make shortcuts to launch my games. I want it as simple as just clicking on the icons [12:50] and when i exit the game i want the script to re-enable kwin composite [12:50] without having to hit the key combination [12:50] i can write the script, i just need to know the command [12:50] there is a plasmoid called 'Toggle Compositing', you can enable/disable the compositing with one klick [12:51] how to change the kdm theme ? [12:51] 3 clicks. one to disable, one to launch game, another to re-enable [12:51] 1 click would be just clicking the script to execute it [12:51] So not good enough. [12:53] nikitis: see this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7692050&postcount=4 [12:54] ulysses__: ah, great googling... i tried it but couldn't find it. This may work.

Is there such a thing for KDE4 ? Anyone knows ? [13:30] ubuntu_: u'll have to install wcid from repository #sudo apt-get install wicd [13:32] Hi ! I would like to know how to setup windows to open always in the same position and workspace, i'm using Karmik default desktop and Gnome with advanced graphical effects on it and it does not provide thi feat... i dont talk about startup, but simply closing and opening the window during the same session. Is KDE doing it ? [13:32] Hi! I need help! I'm unable to mount my external usb hard drive on Karmic... When I plug it in, the hdd turns on, and dmesg will say this over and over "unable to enumerate USB device on port 3" [13:39] hi guys [13:43] I got logged out when I got back into the system after hibernation.

[16:03] some reason??? [16:04] BluesKaj: then all I have to do is put the live ce and search for the option to recover...? [16:04] neoandersen, usually source code apps are removed because they aren't included in the repos [16:05] neoandersen, not recover , install on / using the manual partition option [16:06] BluesKaj: well, I don't have a good idea of what source code apps are... they are recoverable later? [16:06] timelord [16:07] neoandersen, kubuntu is detected and the newest kernel source drivers etc are installed on all your HW..make sure the live cd is the latest release [16:07] neoandersen, yes all mu apps were recoversable [16:08] mu=my [16:08] BluesKaj: I am using kubuntu here now, in the other hd I want to let just ubuntu...

I'll go see if that's true now.

[16:25] noaXess: i claims it wants to remove the network-manager and plasma-widget-network-manager packages. [16:26] wintemute`: thats normal.. they are in conflict with wicd.. note them and you can reinstall them [16:28] anyone else having problems downloading 9.10?

[16:42] noaXess- check the power management settings. I'm not sure about 9.10, but 9.04 had a couple settings buried in a weird place [16:42] kgeek: it is not installing or uninstalling nothing... because of ready only flile system... [16:43] neoandersen, use the manual artitioning option on / [16:43] er partitioning === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [16:45] neoandersen, choose manual partitoning, then you have to look for the / partition in the list and select it [16:46] is there any tool to set an image in grub???

I'm having some difficulty configuring both my 3G dongle and my OpenVPN connections via the Network Manager application. I think I know what the issue is in OpenVPN (no passphrase on the certificate), but I'm struggling to configure the 3G stick for the 3 network in the UK. Does anyone have any tips? [17:23] It's a Huawei E156G, which I've had working under Ubuntu before. [17:23] JonTheNiceGuy: that's a bit of a trouble area for the KDE NetworkManager frontend [17:23] I did guess that from the bugreports I'd looked at [17:23] :( [17:23] you may wish to try installing network-manager-gnome and running nm-applet instead [17:24] s/running/run [17:27] Frage: wenn ich jetzt Kubuntu auf einer Festplatte X installiere (/ mounted on sdX1) und in 2 Monaten eine neue Platte einbaue, kann ich root "einfach" auf eine andere Platte verschieben (dd) und im grup den Eintrag ändern und alles läuft? Oder stell ich mir das gerade zu einfach vor. [17:27] !de | SeicherlBoB [17:27] SeicherlBoB: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[17:28] sorry!! my mistake, thought i was in .de [17:28] Hi! ... I know there exists some package that allows for the configuration of GTK(2) from a KDE4 desktop ... but I don't remember it's name and I don't seem to recognize it from the package list. Can anyone throw me a bone? [17:29] seems that everyone sleeping here [17:29] no help [17:29] If I install kubuntu on a harddrive, can i move the installation later to another drive (dd ?) or is it harder than i think right now? [17:29] o.c. modifying grup entries and stuff... [17:30] SeicherlBoB, you can, but it's not easy. You'll have to manually modify several configuration files and most likely the kernel image needs to be recreated because of different partitions [17:30] it's mostly the low(est)-level configuration that will complain [17:30] dvheumen: so simply dd'ing and grup editing wont do it? [17:31] i have multiple os on my pc [17:31] i just want to change the booting list at startup , can any one help ? [17:32] ahmedtaufiq: you can edit the grup entries [17:32] SeicherlBoB, nope, most likely not [17:32] how [17:32] ? [17:32] dvheumen: that means i should buy the new drive before installing ;) [17:32] Hi there. :) I've just installed the kde packages to the main ubuntu install - it looks fantastic, I'm very impressed [17:33] I can't seem to get my second monitor working properly though [17:33] is this a common issue? [17:33] ahmedtaufiq: google: grup edit => http://www.google.at/url?q=http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-how-to-edit-grub-boot-parameters.html&ei=RWnwSr_cB6OOnQP8y5T5Bw&sa=X&oi=spellmeleon_result&resnum=1&ct=result&ved=0CAcQhgIwAA&usg=AFQjCNGVMSP3vs1CF0fxqBYw6sQNKXXXew [17:34] greetings all, I've booted the kubuntu 9.10 cd and I am presented with a login screen, is this normal (never saw this before), what are the creds? [17:34] my second monitor is a clone or mirror of the first, and when I identify monitors, both are labeled twice with the names of both monitors [17:34] I'm new to kde so I have no idea how to fix this... can anyone help? [17:35] SeicherlBoB, yeah that's probably the best idea. Unless you feel comfortable with fixing a broken system that might not even reach the root filesystem during the boot process [17:35] vis: what graphics card are you using? [17:35] ATI radeon [17:35] its very difficult, [17:35] can u explain in simple way [17:36] dvheumen: damn... so no way to wait until xmas ;) [17:36] vis: have you ever heard about xrandr? [17:36] no, I haven't [17:36] vis: then you will, soon ;) [17:36] ahmedtaufiq: goto /etc/grub.conf [17:37] SeicherlBoB, well that depends ... how many free time do you have during xmas ... you could devote a few days to fixing your system :D [17:37] *much [17:37] lol, found it. does kde already have this tool? [17:37] where to go ? on terminal ? [17:37] JontheEchidna: I don't suppose you know how to get nm-applet to run when the KDE plasmoid is already running? [17:37] JonTheNiceGuy: killall knetworkmanager [17:38] perfect, thanks JontheEchidna [17:38] well... no answer to my question it seems ... I'll try later ... bye [17:38] us Jons have to help each other out you know ;-) [17:39] ahmedtaufiq: goto /boot/grub/grub.cfg in konsole [17:39] ok then ? [17:40] i have to set windows , on the top of the list [17:40] ahmedtaufiq: see thru the file === mohammad is now known as Guest39743 [17:40] so that it runs automatically [17:41] u will find a windows entry [17:41] vis: hope you find a way. ATI driver is not so easy to handle. You have to keep in mind, that there are 2 drivers usually: the proprietary one by ATI and one open source. both have different capabilities with different devices. you might have to check a couple of compatibility/feature lists [17:41] yes [17:41] is there a default login for the kubuntu 9.10 cd? [17:42] on konsole it said , permission denied [17:42] I have the proprietary driver installed already.. I'm mainly confused because gnome seems to handle dual monitors perfectly [17:42] ahmedtaufiq: cut and paste it at 1st pos. [17:42] ahmedtaufiq: do sudo su....u noob [17:42] whereas the kde gui for changing those settings seems to be clueless [17:43] vis: yes, sometimes it's not so intuitive. but if you manage these things with xrandr, you're fine. [17:43] vis: have you installed it? [17:43] no, im googling for a gui interface for it =) [17:43] hey what u said ?? [17:44] ahmedtaufiq: enter thru root permissions [17:44] it will be easier that i uninstall the kubuntu [17:44] is there a boot option I missed? Does anyone else have to login when booting the 9.10 cd????? === fenris__ is now known as ejat [17:44] thats ur wish [17:44] rather than listening ur bad comments [17:44] vis: do you understand german? [17:44] sorry, no [17:45] hmm... [17:45] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=927&num=2 this seems pretty decent [17:45] vis: yes... i like the phoronix site, they are quite good. go for it! [17:47] I can't work out how to stop the second monitor from mirroring the first [17:47] vis: the sooner you start dealing with things on terminal, the better anyway ;) quite often, when you have a gui it does in fact use a backend that was designed for terminal execution. so you will have less troubles when you do it yourself on terminal ;) [17:48] vis: whats your ATI model? [17:48] can anyone help me fix my networking and get it to work on my laptop ? [17:48] I have no idea how to find that out.. lol [17:48] im using BCM4311 [17:48] imean that chip [17:48] vis: notebook or desktop? [17:48] notebook [17:49] vis: check the ccc (if installed), maybe you find it there [17:50] what's ccc? [17:50] vis: catalyst control center [17:51] vis: you should see something like this: http://ati.amd.com/images/headers/products/software/CCC-LE-Color.png which tells you the model [17:53] bare with me.. ccc isn't in my kde menu [17:53] yet [17:53] vis: dualscreening worked in gnome? [17:53] yeah [17:53] vis: ok... did you try xrandr --auto ? [17:53] yeah, no change [17:54] vis: did you try the various "--left-of" or "--right-of" parameters? [17:55] vis: like they say at phoronix: "xrandr --output VGA --auto --right-of LVDS" of course you have to use your connector lables [17:56] perfect! [17:56] ;) [17:56] I was a little confused with the man pages [17:57] vis: read the whole article ;) and read the man-page. it will help you a lot. you can do freaky things with xrandr! [17:57] i genuinely think that a good working environment affects concentration span! [17:57] I just need to move my panel now.. lol [17:58] vis: read it twice ;) usually i need even a third time of reading - and read it one by one. start playing around to get a feeling about how the parameters are ment to work. [17:58] hello :) [17:59] thankyou SeicherIBoB [17:59] :) [17:59] vis: no problem. time to give something back to the community for me ;) [17:59] I have question how I can check If my Ati drivers are working ?? I installed drivers from ATI and now I want to know if they are working [18:00] stefanjrklb: well... you can read this? .. no sorry, that was evil [18:00] stefanjrklb: If you're in gnome, a quick way I know of to try is to activate the "extras" display effects [18:00] it will either make your windows wobble, or fail [18:00] i use Kubunttu [18:00] although I've just realised this is a kubuntu channel..lol [18:00] x) [18:01] excuse me. [18:01] no prob :) [18:01] I am new i things connected with linux :) [18:01] is "apt-get purge flashplugin-installer nspluginwrapper" enough to completly remove flash before installing the 64 bit version? [18:01] why the heck doesnt my wired interface show up in dmesg ? [18:01] do i need to lead any specific drivers or do something special ???? [18:01] stefanjrklb: if you really want to know the performance of your machine, the the phoronix test suite. [18:02] s/the/try [18:03] stefanjrklb: there you get the test suite: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=pts_20_release&num=1 [18:03] do you know the command to launch catalyst, SeicherIBOB? [18:03] vis: sorry, i havent been using the AMD drivers since 2 years... [18:04] Ok guys :) but my question I think is very simply for you :) [18:04] Where I can check that kubuntu is using drivers which I installed recently and now drivers which Kubuntu installed during installation of Kubuntu :) [18:05] stefanjrklb: well, that is another question! sorry for misunderstanding [18:06] huhu [18:06] stefanjrklb: http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/04/24/tip-how-to-check-which-video-driver-is-your-x-server-using/ [18:06] thcx [18:07] amdccle - catalyst control centre ;) [18:07] *amdcccle - catalyst control centre ;) [18:07] vis: that looks good ;) [18:08] list [18:08] oilà [18:09] JontheEchidna: Any idea how to stop knetworkmanager from starting? I've removed it from $HOME/.kde/share/config/plasma-netbookrc but it then whinged on startup that there was already a network manager running. [18:09] JonTheNiceGuy: sudo apt-get uninstal plasma-widget-networkmanagement [18:09] uninstall having 2 l's of course ;-) [18:09] Hmmm, I was hoping not to have to remove it [18:09] Oh well. [18:09] anyone know where to find nivida geforce 9600M 64 bit driver? === mhz is now known as brendan` [18:10] JonTheNiceGuy: i dont know the newest widget, but i use wicd and i can recommend it === brendan` is now known as brendan- [18:10] SeicherlBoB: Does wicd support openvpn and 3g USB modems? [18:10] If so, I'm there! :) [18:12] JonTheNiceGuy: it supports almost everything, especially for wifi with several different security configurations. you can design your own templates, that are then accessible through the gui. sorry, no USB modems as far as i know, but umtsmon does that for me [18:12] check google for openvpn with wicd, i bet there already is a howto. [18:12] is it a good idea to be using tmpfs for /tmp ? I have plenty of swap and usually about 500mb free ram.. and realize I'll lose everything there when I reboot but some things seem faster (like temporary firefox downloads) [18:16] JonTheNiceGuy: look at this: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/3GUsbModem [18:17] hey i'm on rc1, do i need to do anything special to get to 9.10? [18:18] jschall: just make sure you have the latest updates and you'll have 9.10 final [18:18] cool [18:18] SeicherlBoB: Thanks for that, I'll hold off for now I think, but defo looking at that for the future! :) [18:18] JonTheNiceGuy: and you can define pre- and post-connection scripts, so you could start openvpn "manually" everytime you connect to a specific access point [18:19] JonTheNiceGuy: and if you need a vpn everywhere, you can let the daemon run and it will try to connect anyway as soon as it can [18:26] Hi! How can I get compositing/desktop effects to work with dual monitors? I am on a thinkpad laptop with intel 945GM graphics. [18:27] Toran: what's the problem? the dual screen or the effects or the performance? [18:27] Desktop effects works when I have just the default screen enabled. As soon as I have my second monitor hooked up and have dual displays going, it no longer has desktop effects [18:28] it's like it isn't even trying to do them. It's not slow or anything, just not present [18:28] Toran: ok, sorry, i can't help with that === freelancer317_ is now known as freelancer317 [18:29] Toran: have you booted with both displays? have you tried to re-enable it? [18:29] is it possible to get working? [18:29] yes, I've booted with both displays. Re-enabling just instantly causes the message "desktop effects have been disabled..." [18:30] Toran: KDE 4.3 ? [18:30] actually, the KDE control center is still broken with dual monitors and I can't use it to configure them, I have to issue an xrandr command to enable it [18:30] 4.3.2 [18:33] :( [18:35] is kpackagekit the same as software center/store? [18:39] ...? [18:43] I'm having problems getting openvpn connection to work in knetworkmanager. Saying, "Failed to connect: 'No VPN Secrets!'" anyone know a work around?

[19:02] why no kde 4.3.3 for kubuntu [19:02] hey peeps ... anyone on 9.04 know how to get rid of the 9.10 upgrade notification in the taskbar? [19:05] why no kde 4.3.3 for kubuntu [19:05] ??? === mhz is now known as brendan- [19:06] mpower_bmw: kubuntu 9.10 has kde 4.3 === root is now known as Guest79173 [19:08] <|moe|> since 9.10 does not use an xorg.conf - where can i set my horizontal scrolling for my synaptics touchpad?

[19:12] busbaby- when you click the update icon, do you get asked about updating to 9.10? [19:14] probably a stubid question, however I'm in ubuntu 9.10 now, if i install kubuntu-desktop package will I then have kubuntu 9.10 ? [19:14] tertitten, yes [19:15] you'll have both gnome and kde === avihay_ is now known as avihay [19:15] BluesKaj: so no need to do a cleen install of kubuntu, just install kubuntu-desktop and that's it ? [19:15] yes [19:16] but [19:17] BluesKaj: thanks, avihay: but what ? [19:17] tertitten, but you will still have gnome , so at login you can choose which desktop [19:17] from my experience, installing kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu doesn't install a complete KDE oriented desktop environment [19:18] OK, I see, then it's probably best to do a clean install, ty guys [19:18] neither does a clean install , depends on what repos are enabled [19:18] what do you suggest then avihay? [19:18] do you have a guide? [19:19] !purekde [19:19] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [19:19] what if i wanna keep gnome and just have the option to go w/ kde? [19:19] brendan-, then you can choose at login [19:19] no, If you have ubuntu installed, kubuntu-desktop will not give you a 100% kde experience without tweaking [19:20] but i won't need to do the removal commands and just follow the kde setup instructions in that case [19:20] oh brother , here we go again with the blah blah naysayers ...ok have your objections and fun ..I'm gone [19:20] so I suggest that the next time you reinstall ubuntu, consider installing of kubuntu instead [19:20] ignore the of [19:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE [19:21] i just wanna have the optionb to run both [19:22] so removing gnome would defeat that.. but i assume i can just follow the guide to install kde and have the option on which to boot at login [19:22] or is that going to screw it up? [19:23] well I never tryed "sudo aptitude --with-recommends install kubuntu-desktop" [19:24] sounds like a better idea [19:24] we'll find out [19:24] :D [19:26] <|moe|> when I start ubuntu i get the message "clocksource tsc unstable", is that critical? [19:28] well that completed.. let's see how this goes. brb logging out & back in [19:29] is anyone still on kubuntu 9.04? [19:30] busbaby: i am [19:31] are you getting that "upgrade to karmic" notification in the taskbar?

[19:38] actually, i don't see that option [19:39] got it installed, just can't get the wireless working but that's on me [19:39] i do like the kde environment though [19:39] t'is sexy [19:40] when i double click on the icon in the taskbar, the window pops up ... at the top on the window it says "Distribution upgrade available" "The latest stable release" "Upgrade to karmic 9.10" [19:42] *WB(bowser)WB* - wheee! http://reality.homelinux.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4298 I want to play DDR against a ghost.

Dunno offhand how to hide it, other than killing the notifier entirely [19:45] penguin_: lol - why dont you ask and we'll try [19:45] Dragnslcr: cool .. thanks anyways [19:45] penguin_: say ur problem ....whosoever weill be able to solve will solve [19:45] how I can install compiz in kubuntu 9.10 ?? [19:46] penguin_: its basically already installed [19:47] penguin_: goto "system setting" --> "desktop" --> "desktop effects" --> "all effects" [19:47] you can play around with everything there [19:48] penguin_- KDE 4 does its own compositing, and compiz doesn't always work well with KDE (it was designed for Gnome), so it may not be supported anymore [19:48] ok [19:48] hi all, Kaffeine, VLC, Miro, I get no video whatsoever, sound plays thought [19:49] any idea?

[21:20] hi , i changed resultion but my bar still not in all screen [21:20] i am on a live cd. trying to manually partition my 320g sata [21:20] The LiveCD doesn't install every package on the disc in the live environment [21:20] how do i get the uuid of a partition? [21:20] by default for some reason it thinks my 500 g is the master [21:21] Probably because the 500 GB disk is connected to SATA1 [21:21] its not sata [21:21] In that case, PATA disks come before SATA disks [21:22] ! [21:22] nomopofomo, /dev/sdax is usually enough to id a partition [21:22] I guess that would be up to your BIOS [21:22] hrmmmm [21:22] i will return! [21:22] thanks [21:23] cuznt- so did you actually try installing the partitionmanager package? [21:23] Oy [21:24] what is another name for aptitude, if there is one, because i have it running and i want to turn it off and i cant find it in system activity. [21:24] Dragnslcr, you can lead a horse to water........ we seem to be getting a lot of doubters or non - listeners in here === mhz is now known as brendan- [21:25] how i enable effects ? i cant its tell me congiuare X server something [21:26] properz: do you use an ATI card? [21:26] i have NVIDIA card [21:26] 9500GT [21:26] oh [21:26] ncfi1013- apt-get, synaptic, and kpackagekit are the first ones that come to mind that might have the APT database locked [21:26] oh is good or bad ? [21:27] well I don't know what to do with nvidia [21:27] properz- you might need to install the restricted drivers [21:27] dragnlscr : i have the driver i just dont know how to install it [21:27] I use an ATI card, desktop effects worked in jaunty but not in karmic, I had to set up "kernel mode setting" to get it to work [21:27] There should be an icon in the system tray for restricted drivers [21:28] <|moe|_> hagabaka: where did you set that up? [21:29] Dranglscr : there is README in nvidia how ot install or something ? [21:29] properz- you shouldn't need to look at any README files [21:29] properz- Kubuntu handles it all through a graphical interface [21:29] what would i look for in system activity to turn it off? [21:30] ncfi1013- if none of those programs are running, the database lock might have gotten stuck [21:30] !aptfix | ncfi1013 [21:30] ncfi1013: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [21:30] |moe|_: I needed to add the x-edgers ppa, and then add a file containing "options radeon modeset=1" in /etc/modprobe.d. desktop effects work now, but X server has crashed a few times === leon is now known as Guest968 [21:31] <|moe|_> hagabaka: thank you! [21:31] np [21:31] so how i can use effects ? /= [21:32] properz,, system settings/desktop/desktopeffects - enable [21:32] hay all [21:33] BlueKaj : its enabled but it tell me i need to congiuare something X Server === dragan is now known as dragan_ [21:34] properz: what's the exact error? does it say "Failed to activate desktop effects..." or something else? [21:34] one sec i tell you [21:34] the following effects could not be activated : ....... [21:34] in the first time i try its tell me configuare something [21:35] disable it and enable again, and see if you get that message [21:36] I'd like to find a balance between encryption and performance. I will be the only user of the system. Would anyone have an opinion about encrypting /var and /home with preboot luks, swap encrypted with a random, as well as putting /tmp on tmpfs? Would data in /home be safe? [21:36] please check your X - server [21:37] yep, it's official...kde better then gnome in my opinion....;) [21:38] how i enable effects ? i get error ( configuare X server) [21:38] ok so i've got the new partition in fstab now but i can't use it because of permissions, i think... how do i properly set up the disk as a regular user disk and not for admin only? [21:38] I only switched to ubuntu as my fulltime desktop about 7 months ago...today, I'm proudly on kubuntu...;D [21:39] yeah just double checked, root can create folders but i can't on my regular account [21:39] dragnslcr: i did as you and ubottu suggested. would the two of you explain to me what i just did? [21:40] do i want to use chown? [21:40] ncfi1013- did it work? [21:41] nomopofomo: I remember when I wanted to automount my disks I had the same issue...what I did you resolve it was setup a subfolder on my disk called files and then modified the permissions to allow me to write to that folder. [21:41] dragnslcr kpackagekit opens but not adept [21:41] hosified: i think i just want to change the owner of the folder that the disk is mounted to [21:42] nomopofomo: yeah, you can do that as well. The folder should have a placeholder created under /media [21:42] ncfi1013- I think KPackageKit doesn't try to lock the APT database until it actually installs or modifies packages, while Adept tries to lock the database when it first starts [21:42] try to use chmod 777 on the folder (ie. chmod 777 /media/sda1) [21:42] how i enable effects ? i get error ( configuare X server) [21:42] or change the ownership via the chown command [21:43] im getting read only mode in adept [21:43] hosified: yeah i just did :P [21:43] did it work? [21:43] that usually means another pkg mgr is open [21:44] yeah there was no placeholder in media though, it's an ext4 partition that i pointed to a folder in my home director [21:44] is there something running in the background? [21:44] how i login as root ? in terminal [21:44] what command i need [21:44] oh, ok. Same principle tough....glad you got it figued out... [21:44] thx! [21:44] ncfi1013- KPackageKit, Adept, aptitude, etc. are all just frontends for APT. To make sure that multiple APT programs don't interfere with each other (which could cause major problems), an APT program gets a lock on the database to prevent other programs from accessing the database at the same time [21:44] how do i find out? [21:44] properz: sudo su [21:45] ncfi1013- I don't know if there's a way to see which program locked the APT database. You may just have to look through the process list for any programs [21:46] how i configuare my X Server ? ( i want get my graphic card work) [21:46] properz: what kind of vid card do you have? [21:46] that part i know. i just dont know specifically what to look for [21:47] ncfi1013- kpackagekit, apt-get, adept, aptitude, synaptic [21:47] ncfi1013- those would be my first guesses [21:47] oh [21:48] proper: how about...... System>Hardware Drivers.......? [21:49] dragnslcr: kpackagekitsmarticon maybe? [21:50] I dunno, maybe [21:50] ** Getting KDE 4 ready for LTS talk in #ubuntu-classroom in 10 minutes [21:50] One thing you could try is opening Konsole and doing "sudo more /var/lib/dpkg/lock" [21:50] I don't know if the lock file will have any information in it, but it's worth a shot [21:51] dragnslcr: nope nothing [21:51] ncfi1013: reboot maybe? [21:52] sorry i didnt wat here [21:52] how i configuare my X Server ? ( i want get my graphic card work) i have nvidia 9500gt [21:52] Yeah, I was about to say, at this point it might be easiest to logout and log back in, and if that doesn't fix the problem, reboot [21:52] in system activity what does renice process mean? [21:53] Did you run that command that ubottu gave you? [21:53] properz: should be automatic.... try menu: System > Hardware Drivers [21:53] yes [21:53] "nice" is the Unix term for priority [21:53] And you still get an error about the database being locked? [21:54] yes [21:54] refuseg : i tired its not automatic === bluntz_ is now known as Bluntz_ [21:55] properz: card does not show up in list? [21:55] rareug : no [21:55] properz, you have to make sure your graphics card driver is correctly installed, xorg isn't necessary to run kubuntu now. Your graphics driver should be the nvidia-glx-185 driver, look in kpackagekit or your package manager for the installed driver [21:55] ncfi1013- I don't know what else to suggest, other than logout, and if that doesn't work, do a full reboot [21:56] does anyone know why amarok doesn't download lyrics? [21:56] i killed kpackagekitsmarticon and adept is still read only. thank you for your help. i know more now than 20 minutes ago [21:56] bluekaj : i have glx-190 driver [21:56] doesn't seem to work on a fresh install [21:56] Hello Guys :) I have a question for experience linux users :) [21:57] hi [21:57] What should i read to get to know kubuntu/ubuntu better :) [21:57] I am new in this staff :) [21:57] kubuntu.org [21:57] how i configuare my X Server ? ( i want get my graphic card work) i have nvidia 9500gt [21:57] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html [21:58] anyone able to recommend a visio substitute for *nix? [21:58] you can also type man "your command" in the Konsole [21:59] for example "man apt-get" [21:59] properz: is there not a little green icon that looks like a pci card in your taskbar, bottom right hand side? [21:59] <|moe|_> sun tells me that my version is sun java15 but update 17 is most actual, where do i get this update for karmic? [21:59] you need to enable the restricted nvidia drivers. [22:00] torchlight, by the makers of diablo 2. make yourself heard: http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=901 [22:00] otherwise, you can enable it through the applications -> system -> hardware drivers option in the "K" menus.... [22:03] would the nvidia graphics driver version 185 be compatible with my nvidia geforce 9400 evga and not cause problems with my gui? [22:03] yes, they should work fine...they work great for my 8600 GT. [22:03] .....so far, so good anyways...;) [22:04] but you never can be 100% sure... [22:04] until you try. [22:04] my effects still dont work ! its tell me configuare X Server !! [22:05] properz: you have to reboot after you install/enable the nvidia drivers. [22:05] Hi, I don't have the "crypto" menu in Konqueror configuration, is it normal ? [22:05] hosifiled : i rebooted [22:05] how can I make my eeepc boot faster ? [22:05] hosifiled : i using virtualbox [22:05] effects won't work in a virtual machine. [22:06] hostifiled : yes they are i used in the past [22:06] just tell me how to configuare X server . [22:06] ubuntuI started my Kubuntu box and i get Mount of filesystem failed | s msintenance shel will now be started. [22:07] how to configuare X SERVER !!! GODDD DAMMT [22:08] hosified see i had problems with my old onboard and i had to redo my whole system by logging into dos - i call it dos cuz im not sure what its called now [22:09] properz: hold on....i'm looking for the config file.... [22:09] i am just worried/paranoid the same will happen again and i dont know very well how to fix it if im not looking at a gui [22:10] hosifled : ok [22:10] hi there! [22:11] try editiing /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:11] that contains the default display settings for your x-server display. [22:11] for options in that file, you'll have to google... [22:12] great distro Kubuntu had become with 9.10 !! thnx to all [22:13] alldow I have one issue with the 5.1 sound configuration [22:13] I will state my doubt here if alowed [22:14] properz: also, if your inside a virtual machine....ie virtualbox...you need to install the virtualbox guest additions [22:14] hosifiled : i installed [22:14] k, just checking [22:14] i need configuare x server [22:15] did you enable 3d acceleration on the virtual machine and grant enough video memory? [22:15] oh one sec [22:15] well, xorg.conf should be the file for that...search google for the specific options that you can set. [22:16] Is there a way to configure more than just one master channel? so when I will try to pull up the volumen from the kmix then all the sliders selected will move toghether [22:16] hosifiled : right now i do [22:17] so right now you have the 3d enabled, atleast 32mb of video memory and the guest additions installed.... [22:17] and you've rebooted. [22:17] hosifiled : what the hell when i rebotted my computer [22:17] i got virutal terminal [22:17] ?? [22:18] i cant use my computer [22:18] I believe left ctrl + alt + F7 will force graphical mode. [22:18] Is it possible to run dpkg on a filesystem other than the one you booted from (e.g. on the hard drive, when you boot from a liveCD)? [22:18] when i reboot him its join me to place with commands [22:18] does it say tty1? [22:19] hosfiled : YES ! [22:19] hmmm..... [22:19] press left ctrl + alt + f7 [22:20] i presse [22:20] make sure you have captured the mouse in the virtual machine... [22:20] hmmm.... [22:20] its stuck when i preesed [22:20] jeeze, I have no idea what you got done now.... [22:20] you don't have the cd still mounted do you? [22:20] no [22:21] its because the command [22:21] did you modify xorg.conf in any way? === nevyn___ is now known as nevyn [22:21] hm [22:21] restore the original. [22:21] if you made a backup...;) [22:21] i remember i write [22:21] nvidia-xconfig [22:21] or something [22:21] see, you can't use nvidia-settings inside a virtual machine. The virtual machine doesn't have direct write capabilities to the video card. [22:21] it uses emulated drivers... [22:22] what is your host operating system? [22:22] i told you i remember before like 3 months i got virtualbox+kubuntu + graphic card work [22:22] windows 7 [22:22] did you just upgrade to windows 7? [22:22] say in the past month or so? === Surion_ is now known as Surion [22:23] I need to either run dpkg on the hard drive from a liveCD, or else I need to figure out how to remount the root system as writeable (for some reason it is getting mounted read-only). [22:23] the graphics should work using the guest additions drivers...but I don't expect you to get your affects working...i've never seen it working in virtualbox.... [22:24] i've only heard recently that Vmware Workstation 7 has full 3d acceleration and graphics capabilities... [22:24] especially on Windows 7. [22:24] ok you know what [22:24] i install now my kubuntu [22:25] kubuntu runs great as a host...;) [22:25] ditch the windows....take the challenge...:D [22:25] i have one question before [22:25] there is any way to write fixmbr / fixboot without use windows disc ? [22:26] just so you know, I run WIndows 7 inside a virtualbox VM on my kubuntu host, it doesn't give me 3d graphics and effects.... [22:26] there is any way to write fixmbr / fixboot without use windows disc ? [22:27] fixmbr / fixboot? sorry, never heard of it... [22:27] ok thanks [22:27] the only time I ever repaired a windows boot record was with the fdisk command [22:27] on a bootable floppy... [22:27] i know when i install kubuntu [22:27] i didnt get the windows in grub [22:28] and then i need fix it with a disc [22:28] no, you can modify the grub configuration to show the windows installation...i'm assuming you are setting up a dual boot installation. [22:28] google dual boot ubuntu windows grup [22:28] correction: google dual boot ubuntu windows grub [22:29] hosfield : after i install kubuntu [22:29] i need to download something [22:29] to get graphic card work ? [22:30] if you install kubuntu on your host, you should then get the green card icon in the bottom right of your task bar to enable the restricted nvidia drivers...which will in turn state that you need to reboot and then the effects will work. [22:30] nvidia right? [22:30] yes nvidia [22:30] so i need press the green card icon in the task bar ? [22:31] ok, that's what should happen...I just installed kubuntu today...I was running ubuntu for the past 7 months. If the green icon doesn't appear in the taskbar/system tray...you can find it under Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers from the "K" menus.... [22:31] ok thanks , last question , how much size i need to do in swap area ? [22:31] in there, you'll need to select the driver version and click enable.... [22:32] I usually let it automatically choose.....personally I don't use any swap cause I have 4GB of ram and I carefully monitor my memory allocation. [22:32] However, a good size would be 512 - 1024.... [22:32] i have 4gb ram too [22:32] if your disk is swapping out anymore then that, your system performance will be severly impacted...in my opinion, swap is bad - but an evil necessity.... [22:32] so i dont need swap areA? [22:33] area* [22:33] you don't need it...but if you get a program that is out of control and has a memory leak, your system may crash or become unresponsive....512 or 1024 would be safe. [22:33] no more then that, it's a waste of space. [22:33] ok [22:33] you will be here more half hour ? [22:34] swap is for swapping information from memory to disk to free memory for other programs...meaning you would have to use all your memory up somehow before swap starts getting utilized... [22:34] maybe... [22:34] ba bye [22:35] do we get paid for this??? lol [22:38] bye all [22:38] isn't swap also used to store images when suspending to disk? [22:39] equaeghe: I didn't think that was written to swap...but it might be....I though that was stored in a hibernation file...I know in windows it's not part of the page file (ie swap). [22:39] but you could very well be right.... [22:40] swap file used to be normally 1.5 times ram , maybe it's different now [22:40] Swap space is the area on a hard disk which temporarily holds memory pages that are inactive. Swap space is used when physical memory, or RAM, is full. If the system happens to need more memory resources or space and the physical memory is currently full, inactive pages are then moved to the swap space. Note that the access time for swap is slower therefore do not consider it to be a complete replacement for the [22:40] physical memory. Swap space can be a dedicated swap partition (recommended), a swap file, or a combination of swap partitions and swap files. [22:40] that's from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [22:41] AND!!! [22:41] Hibernation (suspend-to-disk) The hibernation feature (suspend-to-disk) writes out the contents of RAM to the swap partition before turning off the machine. Therefore, your swap partition should be at least as big as your RAM size. The hibernation implementation currently used in Ubuntu, swsusp, needs a swap or suspend partition. It cannot use a swap file on an active file system. [22:41] Heya everyone [22:41] congrats equaeghe, you got that one right. All the purposes of swap are listed on that link above... [22:41] Im on 9.10 and I have a sound problem when Im playing 24bit 96khz flacs in Amarok [22:42] it produces noise [22:42] hosified: yeah, it bit me before, I had 1GB swap and 2GB ram... [22:42] vlc plays them but seems resampled [22:42] amarok plays flac ? [22:42] to 44.1 [22:42] yep [22:43] 96khz is rather audiophilic for a pc :) [22:43] nice....properz is going to be pissed when he finds that out...:) [22:43] "welcome to linux"...:D [22:44] my bad... [22:45] so any fix for my case? [22:45] hosified, I told prosperz to make sure he had the right driver installed , but just ignored advice and repeated his problem...he's not a reader , too busy asking for help [22:46] I don't feel so bad then.... [22:46] ;) [22:46] Im using audigy se by the way [22:46] half the battle is learning how to google.... [22:46] :S [22:46] :/ [22:47] maybe he should start with that... [22:47] Im googleing but no result [22:47] oh, sorry jazzy_d, I was refferring to another person/problem.... [22:48] ok [22:48] jazzy_d, check the internet for a more audiophile friendly app then amarok, there is one , but I can't recall it's name [22:48] I dunno if exaile supported flac or not....I find it to be a decent audio player...but it was more for gnome then kde. === _newbie_ is now known as RussellAlan [22:49] I have errors with audacious 2.1 [22:49] its oss [22:49] Im on alsa [22:49] hmmm....jazzy_d: this may not be the best advise but....have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [22:49] yep [22:49] nothing happend [22:49] hmmm, ok... [22:50] the guys at #linux on efnet told me that, then they told me to configure alsa for 24/96 [22:50] because on default its 16/44.1 [22:50] but I cant find on google how to do that [22:50] jazzy_d: going to have to pass on that question, i'm still tinkering with the audio on my installation. However, I thought that the default sound system in kubuntu was pulseaudio. Anyone verify that? [22:52] jazzy_d...I also remember in ubuntu that there was an alsa mixer program and config program that I installed that allowed me to configure those options... [22:52] jazzy_d, Aqualung audio player [22:52] lemme see if they are availble for kubuntu in the package manager. [22:52] I just switched to Konversation as my IRC client instead of Quassel. I like the layout better, but I can't find where to hide joins, parts, nick changes, etc. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? [22:53] the only one Im seeing is kmix === _newbie_ is now known as RussellAlan [22:53] Hi, how can I import a personal certificate in Konqueror ? [22:53] perhaprs alsamixer is terminal thing [22:55] ericG, on konverstion, click the sttings tab/configure / [22:55] jazzy_d: alsamixer is a terminal thing [22:55] ok [22:56] ericG, configure konversation/chat window [22:56] ericg under behavior/chat window/2nd box is hide joins,parts [22:57] Im running alsamixer now but it only shows how to adjust volume [22:58] sudo apt-get install padevchooser [22:58] that might do the trick jazzy_d [22:58] thanks BluesKaj todd_ found it :) [22:58] I had read that amarok plays them fine btw, but I dunno whats the deal [22:58] ok hosfield [22:59] hold on, that installs a lot of gnome crap... [22:59] lets see if we can find a better way to modify the pulse audio config then that.... [23:00] VLC is still my fav audioplayer , it has a lot of configurable options [23:00] vlc downsamples them to 44.1 [23:03] hosified I already runned it [23:03] ok....I don't think it will cause you any problems. I'm just going through my installation and I don't see pulseaudio as being installed. Maybe that's the answer to your problem, install pulse audio. [23:04] and with sudo apt-get install padevchooser Im installing it? [23:04] hosified, pa doesn't run well with pci audio cards, it just creates an uneeded layer [23:05] yeah, seems like some others are having the same issue with audigy cards. Read this.. [23:05] http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306142 [23:05] sorry, no answers yet jazzy_d [23:06] ok [23:06] i'ver got some flac files here, let me see if I can get them to work... [23:06] anyone know if its possible to configure the windows start button for the KDE menu? [23:06] or gnome for that [23:07] i have a cmedia pci card , and pa is choppy and distorted on it , so I purged it , now my sound is as good as my pc soundcard ca muster === guillermo is now known as guill3 [23:08] hi guys [23:08] what i wanna do is map the windows button on my laptop keyboard to display the menu [23:08] brendan-, are you trying to hide kubuntu ? [23:08] no [23:08] i'm trying to display the menu when i press the windows key on the keyboard [23:08] hosified, the cards listed are audigy 2 z something [23:08] and I have audigy se [23:09] or that doesn't makes chage? [23:09] brendan-, check the keyboard shortcuts in system settings [23:09] k [23:11] dunno, still looking... [23:11] someone posted that the fix is by adding him in audio group [23:11] how do i select a single file instead of opening it? [23:12] nomopofomo: when hovering a plus sign should appear, press that. [23:13] bbeck: does that include the folder view widget? [23:13] nomopofomo: I don't think so, you may just have to rubberband the file.
