=== Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [00:05] I have no sound. 9.10. banshee doesnt play and has red X. amorok plays no sound. firefox has no sound. my speakers work. help please! :) [00:11] Planetary, I think you might have to report a bug :) [00:13] ok. another sound problem is my laptop I updated to 9.10 and it worked fine and then banshee stopped working. vlc and internet works [00:14] reporting bug is the best thing to do [00:14] Planetary, that is a software issue I think :) [00:15] ok so what do i do [00:15] where is the best place to go report [00:16] reinstal ALAS Stuff and Pulse audio stuff under synaptic or kpackage ---l had same problem with intel hda [00:17] When i upgrade had the samerhing and searched around and found this in google and said in my areas that what to do [00:17] Planetary, launchpad if you have reported bugs before [00:18] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu [00:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [00:20] ok thanks. [00:22] i ahve a / partition and a home partition. I did a new install so i formated / and made it ext3 and left home alone. all my settings and sound problem restored. are settings saved in /home? [00:23] i mean i change / from ext3 to 4 [00:32] Planetary, as far as sound settings go, alsa levels are stored in /etc/asound.state, but pulseaudio stores some, if not all, settings in ~/.pulse [00:34] k thatnks [00:36] I dont understand. I did a new install because my 9.04 was messed up and now all the problems are coming back. like dolphin has no window boarder, no sound. why is that. my home partition was not formated but / was [00:37] i am runnin compiz btw [00:38] Planetary, try disabling compiz [00:40] planetary, not sure about that. I would try splitting the problems up. for example, to start with the windows borders--get rid of the compiz --replace entry in your startup programs and let kwin manage the windows [00:41] hey! why is it I have to select wallpaper twice in kde first file dialog then in image dropdown list.. it's silly [00:41] ok its fine with kwin. i havent made compiz load at startup [00:41] and if theres a lot of wallpapers in there it lags [00:42] it should auto select wallpaper choosen in file dialog but doesnt =/ [00:46] planetary, i'm not sure about the sound, but, just to get the dumb "is the computer plugged in" type questions out of the way, have you ran lspci -v to make sure that your sound card is recognized and driver (kernel module) is available? opened alsamixer in terminal and made sure your pcm isn't muted and is turned all the way up? [00:47] getting icon themes and color themes online is intuitive.. button for those.. but what about kde4 theme/style.. is there a button for that? just some random thoughts [00:48] jwk, you mean a button to change the plasma theme from within the gui? [00:49] d9500 i havent done lspci. i have opened alsa mixer and my master and pcm are around 75-80% , i set it there for lower distortion. [00:49] d9500: i mean qt theme or whatever it is called.. [00:49] kde style [00:50] not the plasma theme [00:51] d9500 lspci -v shows it [00:52] planetary, and turning the pcm up to 100 and then trying to play a song still does nothing (i often have to do that; you can try turning it back to 80 once the song plays if turning it up to 100 works) [00:53] jwx, you mean under system settings > appearance? [00:55] d9500: right i want a button to download new styles automatically.. like for color schemes etc [00:55] =) [00:55] but there is none [01:00] jwx, no, i don't think it's built into kde4. At least, if it is, I can't find a config file in ~/kde4/share/config to modify that would make a button appear [01:00] (well, it's a different directory in this distro, but that's where it would probably be in a stock kde4 install, I guess) [01:02] not that it's needed.. but hey if they do it for color schemes and icon themes.. why not [01:04] the wallpaper thing is annoying.. doesn't set selected wallpaper from file dialog as default in the wallpaper dropdown list.. maybe it's a bug [01:05] jwx, in desktop settings > picture? [01:06] d9500: yea [01:07] doesn't work here.. have to scroll the list and select the wallpaper already selected in the file dialog.. weird [01:08] in mine, wallpaper > picture does set the wallpaper i select as default next time i open the dropdown for picture, without scrolling, so it could be a bug specific to the distro [01:10] d9500: still no go on sound. ill work at it later. thanks for the help everyone [01:11] interesting to know.. here it just sets the selected wallpaper at the top of that list.. but not setting it as default to apply right away.. have to scroll up to the top [01:11] not sure if it's a kde, kubuntu bug or my box messed up someway [01:45] hello. i updated to karmic and now i can't transfer files through bluetooth to my cell phone anymore. is this a known issue? [01:49] [01:49] hello. how to get to work on emc2 Kubuntu 9 [01:53] hello. is there anyone? I was the first time here [01:54] I'm here for the first time [01:56] I configured the power managment notifications not to do anything when the AC adapter is inserted or removed, but it still pops up a notification and plays the sound [01:56] how can I fix this? === peter is now known as cretep [02:11] where do i put firmware files === peter is now known as cretep007 [02:15] any1 [02:15] where do i put firmware files [02:16] i dont want to put them in the wrong place [02:22] hi [02:22] i cannot shutdown and restart karmic ..your help please === ShiNobI is now known as Guest54556 [02:42] 都是老外？ [03:30] Goodbye and Farewell [03:49] I just installed Kubuntu 9.10, and the nVidia driver will not load, so I look at my xorg.conf, and it's basically worthless, all the driver details have been off loaded somewhere else [03:49] where have these ubuntu masterminds placed the real info for xorg? [03:52] <_Techie_> is the current ISO of kubuntu very stable? [03:52] it is for me.. i am using the 64bit branch [03:54] twoten, the newer ubuntus and their derivatives do not use the old style xorg.conf. in fact, a stock install may have no xorg.conf at all. pastebin your xorg.conf so i can look for which portions are missing. also, what is your card model and are you running a single monitor, dual monitor, or other configuration, like one horizontal monitor and one vertical? [03:54] alright just give me a minute ... === Omar87__ is now known as Omar87 [03:56] I did the pastebin under the name twoten [03:57] link please? [03:58] it's a quadro4 980xgl single monitor, right side up [03:58] http://pastebin.com/d11845ace [03:59] I got the nVidia 96.43.13 driver installed thru synaptic but it doesn't load [04:02] I purged all the other drivers first, when I do (from root prompt) nvidia-xconfig, it makes an xorg.conf that bombs out and I have to put the old one back [04:02] maybe I need to do a dpkg -reconfigure? [04:10] twoten, if the driver is actually installed correctly (not sure if synaptic did or not) then i've pastebin'd a sample xorg.conf that may work. http://pastebin.com/d6e8ac611 [04:10] twoten, you may need to modify the fonts section depending on what fonts you want to use. some people like larger characters in their font [04:11] twoten, also, be sure to put the model of your card where it says [your card model here] [04:15] thanks - looks great - I will backup the old, install the new and restart! [04:16] twoten, wait..some instructions if it doesn't work. delete the "board name" line, b/c it might require the actual board name, so if it does require the nvidia code name, then just leave that line out and see if it auto detects [04:16] also, i think the nouveau project at nouveau.freedesktop.org has a list of specific names for boards if it does require one. [04:18] hardinfo says my card is a nVidia Corporation NV28GL (Quadro4 980 XGL) [04:18] ok, let me find the board name on that [04:22] twoten, there doesn't seem to be a "g" designation for that one, (like "G92" for example) so I would just try "NV28GL [Quadro 980 XGL]" in the board name line if leaving the line out enteirly fails. [04:22] but i would just leave it out at first and see if that works. [04:23] entirely* === anthony is now known as Guest35270 [04:25] okay then I'm going in, I can always get to a root prompt and use mc to make repairs if it bombs out [04:25] twoten, and you're certain the driver is installed? what does lsmod | grep nvidia show? [04:27] I get 2 lines returned: [04:27] nvidia 4704212 0 [04:27] agpgart 34988 2 nvidia,intel_agp [04:27] twoten, looks like it's loaded. good luck. [04:27] thanks for all the great help! [04:28] no prob. let me know if it works or not [04:36] well that worked perfectly [04:36] always a pleasure to see the big nVidia logo filling up the screen [04:36] now I can install blender! [04:38] twoten, you actually like the logo? i never could get it to appear, but a lot of the xorg.conf instructions say to add Option "NoLogo" "True" under the Device section to keep the logo from showing during the initialisation. [04:39] twoten, also, check your xorg.0.log for errors on loading fonts and modules, and if you see an error related to a particular one, comment out that line in your xorg.conf and let it autodetect. the errors may be harmless, but no sense in adding extra stuff to log files if you need to look through them later [04:39] sometimes it blinks for just an instant [04:41] glad to hear it worked though. why nvidia can't just release specs and let the devs build an open source driver that doesn't require such a convoluted xorg.conf though? [04:42] kind> it's a very competitive and secretive business [04:42] unkind> they're a bunch of dominator sociopaths [04:43] * d9500 is using nouveau here. no binary-only for me. [04:44] at least for now. after that bug with X server 1.7.901, I switched to the open source driver. [04:45] the open source driver just can't cut it when making 3d animations with ray tracing and radiosity [04:47] give me decent kwin effects and xv for youtube videos (not like flash isn't crap anyway, but every bit of accel helps) and i'm happy. for what it's wroth, though, the nouveau feature matrix did just fill in two more spots on the 3d features today, so maybe in i year or so the gallium 3d portion of the driver will be usuable [04:47] worth* [04:47] a year* [04:48] I have a problem and I want to see if anyone here has had the same problem, it's more of an annoyance, than a problem .... [04:48] gypsy curse? [04:49] I will click on a program from the menu and it will exexute, package manager for this example... The program will open, ince I click my mouse on any button in hte program, the button wont execute the desired task untill I move the mouse pointer.... [04:50] Anyone ever had his problem? [04:50] *this problem [04:52] Lascivus, not exactly, but i'm seeing something similar in 9.10, problems with moving opened windows around. sometimes dragging them does not work. have to click and drag again. but then, it's a vm, so i'm tempted to write it off as just vm typical slowness, except that others have reported the same, presumably on a physical machine. [04:52] could be a driver issue or X server, i guess === root is now known as iDev [04:53] Hello guys i am giving invitations to lockerz, any one interested click here: http://www.wix.com/Luija1006/Lockerz-Invites-By-Luis-Javier [04:53] maybe it's your mouse? or something else is grabbing mouse focus messages at the same time? [04:53] Thanks D9500 :-) === iDev is now known as asdsakfasd [04:53] I thought about that, however 9.04 worked fine, this happened after upgrade [04:55] hey I'll tell you my problem, I installed 9.04 everything worked, then I installed 9.10 [04:55] and the new 9.10 grub would load itself in an infinite loop and fill the screen with grub grub grub [04:55] Now that sux [04:56] so I reinstalled 9.04 and did the upgrade from there, finally it's all working [04:57] Yeah, I did a clean install (same problem), then reinstalled 9.04 clean, upgraded, same problem, I've wrote it of to a driver issue [04:58] Lascivus, maybe try doing apt-cache search xorg | less | grep input and noting the ones that apply to your computer, for example, if you do not have a joystick or a tablet, do not write the "input-joystick" or "input-wacom" ones down, then do a reinstall of the relevant drivers? === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch === hemathor_ is now known as hemathor [05:00] Lascivus, i pastebin'd the packages for you. http://pastebin.com/dd5ceb4f [05:02] That's what mine says also, thank you btw [05:03] http://pastebin.com/m5aee46dd [05:07] Lascivus, actually, dpkg --get-selections | grep input would probably be better. that should just show the ones you have installed rather than the longer list. [05:10] d9500, http://pastebin.com/m36cedc1f does this tell me to install or it is installed? [05:12] Lascivus, install means it is installed. see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/show-the-list-of-installed-packages-on-ubuntu-or-debian/ [05:13] thanks, d9500 :-) [05:14] cool site, by the way, if you've never heard of it. many of the linux tips are older, but since a lot of it's command line stuff, unless a particular command has been depreciated, many should still work [05:16] after upgrading to karmic, the shutdown and reboot options in menu don't work any more. nothing happens when I click on them. any idea how to fix? === sam__ is now known as r00t_ninja [05:36] hey guys, I have 2 wireless adapters, both giving me issues,netgear wg111v3 (connects but the connection is highly unstable, causing very slow browing and lots of buffering on videos), and a belkin wireless N adapter that shows up and finds the network but does not connect [05:36] anyone know how I can get either one of these to work correctly?

[09:42] ^wanhuubb-it: using synaptic in ubuntu or kpackagekit in kubuntu, whichever u installed first [09:42] look for them in the menus [09:44] <^wanhuubb-it> what's the package? [09:45] <^wanhuubb-it> amichair [09:45] ubuntu-desktop for gnome, kubuntu-desktop for kde [09:55] <^wanhuubb-it> so if I am on ubuntu-gnome, I have to get kubuntu-desktop?

[09:56] yes, they both have the same common base, and on top of that ubuntu has ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu has kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu has xubuntu-desktop, and the netbook editions have their own packages too [09:57] <^wanhuubb-it> amichair : why wicd have to been removed?

[10:00] <^wanhuubb-it> really don't understand [10:00] <^wanhuubb-it> Because Wicd does not use any GNOME dependencies, it can easily be used on GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Fluxbox, or any other window manager.[2]" from wikipedia [10:00] each desktop comes with its own defaults, if u install kubuntu-desktop it will install its defaults. u can switch again later if u want. [10:01] <^wanhuubb-it> but can't it be installed without remove wicd? [10:02] <^wanhuubb-it> can't I unselect network manager from the list?

From kubuntu, it is displayed as a link and thus not working. Samba share is set to "follow symlinks yes". the share is mounted with "//server/public /mnt/public cifs [10:38] credentials=.credentials,dir_mode=777,file_mode=777,iocharset=iso8859-15,nobrl 0 0" === erqzor_ is now known as eXq [10:51] <^wanhuubb-it> what are the diff from kdebase and kdebase-bin?

Frequently, large windows do not repaint. If I make them smaller, they do. Over time, the problem becomes more severe and my windows get smaller and smaller. Eventually, I have to reboot (as if video RAM is leaking). It's an NVIDIA card. I've tried two different versions of the NVIDIA drivers. It seems to have shown up when I upgrade kbuntu (not Karmic, but the one before that), but I cannot swear to it. 1) Ho [12:10] w do I figure out of it's hardware or software. 2) Assuming software, how do I diagnosis it further. In my mind, could be the driver, or X, or kde. [12:11] I do run dual monitors in TwinView mode. [12:11] <^y_emkidzu-it> connection problem wicd wireless help [12:20] Since KDE4 I can't find the possibility to save *.war. The html-settings under the Extra-menu have also gone. What do I have to do to get them back? (konq-plugins and konqueror-plugin-khtmlsettings are installed) [12:22] The solution might be kdeaddons, but that's not installable in kubuntu 9.10. But, kdeaddons is still part of KDE4. The problem seems to be Ubuntu. [12:27] s-toned: kdeaddons is not part of KDE4 [12:28] tsimpson: in #kde they said so [12:29] s-toned: it was part of KDE3, but not 4. there is no "kdeaddons" component of KDE [12:30] s-toned: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.3.3/src/ <- no kdeaddons package [12:31] tsimpson: new googbar works fine, guess their upgrade path got screwed up somehow [12:31] yeah, there's been a few "enhancements" since my version [12:32] tsimpson: thiago said so very firmly, but anyway, what can I do to get the html-settings in the extras-menu in konqueror back (and the saving as *.war)? [12:35] s-toned: the "HTML Settings" under Tools? [12:36] tsimpson: yes, might be "Tools" (here it's called Extra) [12:36] well I see the "Archive Web Page" entry under Tools here [12:38] tsimpson: here is only adblock, and timed reload of pages, how could I activate/install the "Archive Web Page" (and proxy, javascript, ...) entries ? [12:39] s-toned: those should be part of the konq-plugins package [12:40] tsimpson: konq-plugins are installed (4.3.0) [12:41] it says "Web Archiver : creates archives of websites" is a part of it, and I have that version [12:43] check that you have /usr/share/kde4/apps/khtml/kpartplugins/plugin_webarchiver.desktop and /usr/lib/kde4/webarchiverplugin.so [12:43] those seem to be the needed parts [12:47] tsimpson: there is only /usr/lib/kde3/libwebarchiverplugin.so (yes, no slash between lib, and web) (/usr/share/apps/khtml/kpartplugins/webarchiverplugin.desktop is there) [12:49] s-toned: that's the kde3 version, not the kde4 version [12:49] try reinstalling the konq-plugins package (sudo apt-get --reinstall install konq-plugins) [12:53] tsimpson: you are right, it's from konq-plugins 3.5.10 BUT, apt-get says it's the latest and greatest, that's why I've never looked before.

Using equivs-build I've built & installed a dummy package whose "provides" are beeing ignored by apt-get. Specifically, my texlive-dummy does provide, among others, tex-common ; and yet apt-get install jadetex requires libosp5 openjade1.3 tex-common tipa to be installed... any thoughts ? [12:58] ngirard: best to ask in #ubuntu-motu they may have insight [13:00] ngirard: but, you probably want to provide, conflict and replace the packages [13:03] tsimpson: Sorry, I've already installed those two files. I looked at the wrong machine (via ssh), sorry. But, it still doesn't work. [13:05] s-toned: I don't know why it wouldn't work then, it works fine here and I can't find any other packages regarding it [13:08] tsimpson: It has been upgraded several times, (since 7.10). Maybe it's time for a fresh re-install. Thank you very much.

[13:24] hey guys, I just migrated from Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 3.5) to 9.10 (KDE 4.3.2) and wonder if there's some way to migrate all the work I invested into my kopete contact list... e.g. many of my friends have several contacts, which I "subcontacted" and linked with the contacts from Kaddressbook. I also used the names from there. All this seems to be gone now (I have one "container" per subcontact). Any hints? [13:25] Hi tsimpson, thanks for your feedback and sorry for this late answer. I didn't know about #ubuntu-motu, i'll ask there. I didn't understand your next sentence ; could you please elaborate ? (you probably want to provide, conflict and replace the packages) [13:26] ngirard: as well as "Provides: ", you may also need "Conflicts: " and "Replaces: " to force apt to not try and install the packages [13:27] SatanClaus: you may want to ask in #kde about that, I don't use kopete too much [13:31] tsimpson: well, "Replaces" doesn't work. Trying Confilcts... [13:31] ngirard: you usually use "Replaces" and "Conflicts" together === Surion_ is now known as Surion [13:34] how can low-graphic-mode-message on start-up be avoided?

[13:35] tsimpson: So, I've compiled & installed a new texlive-dummy package which Provides, Conflicts and Replaces every possible tex-related packages I could find. And guess what apt-get install jadetex suggests ? To remove my dummy package in order to install the damn tex-related ones... [13:37] d9500 i use nvidia-driver for my pretty old card but its working with 3d [13:38] i found a workaround but its annoying [13:38] zippy, you mean the system boots to low-graphics mode yet 3d works? [13:38] yeah [13:38] ngirard: it should not try to install anything it conflicts [13:38] what workaround are you currently using? [13:38] i tried lots of the menu stuff nothing worked [13:39] i couldnt even get a shell [13:39] finally google helped me find to use the esc and wait a little [13:40] tsimpson: I might just ask #ubuntu-motu as you adviced me. On which server can I find this channel ? [13:40] then its booting into graphic [13:40] ngirard: on this server [13:41] tsimpson: weird... doesn't seem to appear on the channel list... [13:41] zippy, which nvidia driver version? 96, 173, or 190? also, which specific card? [13:42] ngirard: the server list on freenode is huge, it's probably filtered in some way [13:42] i pinned the 173 for 5600-fx [13:42] ngirard: it's best to use '/msg alis list ', see '/msg alis help list' for more [13:43] tsimpson: okay. Thanks very much for your time and assistance [13:43] no problem [13:43] d9 GeForce FX 5600XT [13:44] d9500 GeForce FX 5600XT [13:44] zippy, that's the correct driver version. have you done a kernel upgrade recently? [13:44] yes [13:45] 2.6.31-15-generic [13:45] zippy, how recenelty? did the driver stop working right after the upgrade? [13:45] recently* [13:46] 2009-11-10 17:46 it was [13:47] zippy, ok, but did the system start only booting into low graphics mode after the upgrade? [13:47] d9500 you didnt get it its more serious [13:47] low graphics is not starting [13:47] just nothing [13:48] zippy, no, i got that part, but you said you could hit esc and wait and low grpahics would. [13:48] not a shell no reconfigure no backup nothing works [13:48] would start* [13:49] after esc i have nvidia up running with 3d [13:49] low graphic does not work [13:50] zippy, very odd. i've seen nvidia driver failures with the black screen, no terminal to fallback to, and i've seen a failure where low grahics mode is all that would load, but never seen one where the black screen will give way to working 3d. can you pastebin your xorg.conf and xorg.0.log? [13:51] Thinking of getting the comcast self-install kit. i have a windows box just in case, but I want to set it up with my linux box. any ideas on what I'll have to do?

[14:03] d9500 http://pastebin.com/m6c1bc817 [14:03] im not using that: 1 monitor [14:03] maybe i can disable it entirely [14:04] if that helps [14:04] zippy, your xorg.conf does seem needlessly complex for a single monitor configuration [14:05] so what can i discard?
