I can play mp3's, but no internet (firefox w/adobe flash 10, or last.fm) [05:57] hmmm [05:57] it's as if it's muted... [05:57] Guest67392: I have that problem to. Seems that the first application that grabs the sound locks it somehow. For instance, if open Amarok first, then YouTube will not have sound. [05:58] sorry, i'm not famiiar with irc commands, but i'm not sure that's the case brhad56 [06:00] for example I can watch youtube in hd, but no sound [06:00] Guest67392: I also had an issue in previous version where K-Mixer had a hidden slide bar that I couldn't hear any sound until I added the hidden slide bar and pushed up the volume on it [06:01] Guest67392: But you can hear sound via Amarok? [06:01] i can hear amarok, and i can play and hear mp3's, mp4's,, etc [06:03] Guest67392: If you close Amarok completly (not just minimied in task bar) and close out of firefox (or web browser of choice).. open back up firefix.. and then try youtube again... does it work? [06:04] !no sound [06:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about no sound [06:04] !sound [06:04] tried that, killed firefox, killed amarok -- nothing else open not even a widget. [06:04] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:06] sound does work, this is more flash/internet based sound i can't hear. [06:08] you did make sure the volume in the flash window is not all the way down? [06:09] lol, yeah volume on flash window is maxed out. [06:10] I'm of no further help and defer to the experts.

I then typed 'kttsd' [11:22] but something is still not setup. [11:23] start kttsmgr [11:23] that should give you the interface for the config [11:24] you may also want to install one of the festvox-* packages [11:25] I got a config for kttsmgr [11:25] and I do have a fexvox package installed [11:26] this is koala [11:27] then you just need to make sure that "Enable Text-to-Speech System (KTTSD)" is checked in the "General" tab of the config [11:27] and probably set up a talker in the "Talkers" tab [11:27] crayfish: on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick the Dell Mini 9 is mentioned: "...it also depends on which way the USB drive was formatted, on a Dell Mini 9, it may show up as either, so it may make sense to review settings again."

[11:44] will double check [11:49] tsimpson: I installed kttsd and ran kttsmgr, the dialog came up and I thing I enabled it. but I do not know how to reconfigure the settings [11:49] kevix: you configure kttsd from kttsmgr [11:50] tsimpson: yes. so I ran kttsmgr before. but I dont know how to reconfigure it. [11:51] you should just need to check the box, then it should run [11:51] tsimpson: it did run once. but when I re-run it, the dialog box does not appear [11:51] there will be a small blue icon the the system tray with a speaker [11:52] how can I use an akonadi-imap-resource in kontact? .. or is it not yet ready?

[15:44] BluesKaj: is it possible that hd1 and 0 switch around when i reboot? [15:51] anoneemouse, maybe you have too many partitions in front of the ext4 . I thought I saw something about 4 partitons max in front of ext, but I'm not certain [15:54] BluesKaj: you cannot have more than 4 primary partitions on a drive. if you need more, you have to make 1 an extended partition with logical-drives in it. that "ext" hasn't anything to do with ext2/3/4 Filesystem [15:55] man. i can't connect to ANY samba shares. i get access denied when i browse to the hostname and get folder does not exist when i specify the shares explicitly. === enrique is now known as DUKESITO [15:58] AH. if i run dolphin with sudo, smb share access is possible. otherwise, access is denied. this seems like something isn't right. [16:02] why kubuntu haven't software center? one of the most important news of the 9.10 release.... kpackagekit isn't properly good, it haven't the software names, only packages, and user lose many times.... [16:03] wanhuubb-it: Have you tried sudo wicd on a console? [16:06] llutz , thanks for that info, unfortunately the guy left without telling us ...no patience [16:06] hi everyone..., I have aproblem with audio system on my kubuntu karmic ..,it doesn't works with amarok or even in a browser (youtube for example)..., some help please.... [16:06] patience is a virtue [16:07] AlexZion: i had to unmute mine after i upgraded [16:07] in mixer, the PCM slider was all the way down [16:07] I checked the mixer , but everything is ok [16:07] AlexZion: open kmix and make sure the pcm slidders are up [16:07] AlexZion: check all of the sliders again [16:08] llutz, here's his partition table http://paste.ubuntu.com/321606/ .. maybe we can help him if and when he comes back [16:08] (i only say this because i asked, told them i checked, and had to check again. i missed the PCM slider) [16:08] yeah , is up ...., the problems starts when I installed wine ... [16:08] it change some settings for audio system ? [16:08] BluesKaj: that's UUIDs not a partition-table [16:09] llutz, well ,it gives us a clue [16:09] i'm going to go eat at a buffet. maybe my samba fix will come to me over some filafil. [16:09] AlexZion: go into system settings and then go to multimedia then try using pulse audio for everything [16:09] ok I'll try it .. [16:10] AlexZion: also have you installed all of the nonfree codecs [16:11] yeah , with pulse seems to beok ... [16:12] rstob911, why pulseaudio , it breaks most systems , most are better of without it [16:12] off [16:13] but right now doesn't work anymore skype ..., I mean the mic doesn' capture ... :( [16:13] it has been reworked i have been using it with no problems what soever [16:14] ok pulseaudio for skype, I guess you're stuck wih it then [16:16] rstob911, it just adds an unecessary layer to the soundserver setup ...alsa works just fine without it as long as you don'r need skype. [16:16] I cannot understand what's going on..., few days ago everything was ok ... [16:17] did you upgrade [16:17] the normal update , but the problem started before ...., installing some wine stuff .... === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [16:19] BluesKaj: there are parts of amarok that needs pulseaudio to work properly the new amarok anyway [16:20] rstob911, but who needs amarok , it's a mess too :) [16:21] AlexZion: also make sure you look at your task bar and look for regular bug fixes that will pop up from time to time [16:21] yeah , sure , my system is up to date ..., I always update when comes out a notification ... [16:22] the problem here is we have too many broken apps that have broken dependents ( not depenendies) [16:22] BluesKaj: like i said alot of people still like amarok and and it has to have pulse audio to work properly [16:22] BluesKaj: what is the command you gave me to list my partition table? [16:23] anoneemouse, sudo fdisk -l [16:24] that's the correct one , anoneemouse [16:24] there was another one... something with a b bkld ? [16:24] How can I make my own kernel? [16:24] Any special commands or just the typical "make && make modules_install" [16:25] ner0x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [16:25] the one I gave earlier wasn't exactly correct , it lists your fstab,which isn't a partition table , anoneemouse [16:25] i want to have a look at that uuid [16:25] fdisk -l isnt showing that [16:26] im now manually trying to fix grub.cfg [16:26] anoneemouse, sudo blkid [16:26] Is here anyone who has M Audio Audiophile 24/96 on Kubuntu 9.10 ? [16:26] llutz: I've been trying to get this hardware modem working for the last four hours. :-/ [16:27] ok so ive determined that its searching for the right uuid thingy [16:27] when i was at the rescue console for grub i couldnt see hd1,5 [16:27] instead i see hd1,1,a and hd1,1,b [16:28] it looks like kubuntu installed to logical partitions and not physical ones [16:28] anoneemouse: doesn't matter [16:28] anoneemouse, llutz told me this and he would know ,"you cannot have more than 4 primary partitions on a drive. if you need more, you have to make 1 an extended partition with logical-drives in it. that "ext" hasn't anything to do with ext2/3/4 Filesystem" [16:29] ok but my grub config pointed to hd1,5 [16:29] and gives a no such partition error [16:29] [17:23:59] anoneemouse, sudo fdisk -l [16:29] anoneemouse: pastebin output pls [16:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/321644/ [16:31] anoneemouse: (hd1,4) [16:32] anoneemouse: hd1,5 would be your swap, /dev/sdb6 [16:32] thanks llutz , I have to go for my daily walk , BBL [16:32] ok. thanks. Ill try that quickly [16:33] so i take it grub indexes from 0 and linux indexes from 1 [16:33] please confirm someone, that partition-numbering hasn't changed in grub2 :) [16:33] anoneemouse: yes [16:33] anoneemouse: otherwise it would have been (hd2,5) [16:33] lol true [16:34] ok brb... hopefully from my fresh install [16:40] still the same error: no such partition :( [16:41] llutz: so that wasn't it :/ [16:42] too many ntfs ,in the way IMO [16:42] should affect grub at all [16:43] anyway bbl [16:43] i installed freebsd last night to another partition and it booted without problems [16:43] but it refused to boot linux [16:43] anoneemouse: try a grub-shell on boot, "kernel (hd1,4)/boot/grub/core.img" and then "boot" [16:44] i get an emergency shell [16:44] will it have the kernel command? [16:44] anoneemouse: that one with grub> as prompt i mean [16:44] how do i get into that one? [16:45] chroot to drive and run grub? === sdfefedf is now known as SiVA__ [16:46] anoneemouse: enter grub-menu, press "c". sry i don't have a real clue about grub2 [16:46] anoneemouse: not in chroot, when rebooting [16:46] the problem is that i get an emergency shell when i reboot, which doesnt seem to do much [16:47] anoneemouse: a busybox shell or is it the grub-shell already? [16:48] anoneemouse: grub-shell shows "grub >" as prompt [16:48] it shows emergency shell> [16:48] anoneemouse: sorry never seen it [16:49] are there other bootloaders i could try [16:49] anoneemouse: how many systems do you have installed bty [16:49] anoneemouse: i.e. lilo [16:49] i have xp,pcbsd, and another rotten xp from a long time ago [16:51] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_boot_loaders [16:51] but wil they be able to load linux without grub? [16:51] lilo will anoneemouse [16:53] iirc lilo lives in your mbr right? no loading from partitions? [16:53] anoneemouse: you can install lilo to partition too [16:54] i have used gag before it works well [16:54] i dont really want that... i think thats whats causing the trouble [16:54] but gag chain loads grub, it doesnt boot linux === second_nick is now known as Pagkalos [16:55] hi [16:55] i have connected my kubuntu with my windowsVista box. i try to access a file through samba shares on vista, and it asks for username and password [16:55] what can i do? [16:56] anoneemouse: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html [16:56] can i make linux visible to windows? [16:56] Pagkalos: a. enter username/password b. install samba [16:57] llutz i entered username and pass for my vista user but it didnt work [16:59] guys [16:59] does kubuntu made things more user friendly [16:59] ? [17:00] yes it does [17:01] rstob911 : in what way? cause i plan to use fedora === |moe|_ is now known as |moe| [17:02] it accually finds all of your drivers for you fedora doesnt it is easily customizable and it works out of the box [17:03] rstob911 : ok cool [17:04] really i have been using linux since the very first red hat and i am a fan of KDE but i wasnt impressed with kde4 till now === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [17:06] rstob911: it's more the technical stuff behind than the usability what makes kde4 so interesting for some guys (imho) [17:06] ubuntu has alot of devs while others are strugling right now to keep devs aboard [17:06] rstob911: but honestly, when kde2/kde3 came out, we all cried "we want 1/2 back!" [17:06] you are right lol [17:08] ubuntu has lots of devs, kubuntu does not [17:08] isnt it the same? [17:08] tsimpson [17:08] ubuntu devs don't package KDE and the libraries KDE needs, kubuntu devs do that [17:09] and they don't triage the KDE bugs either [17:09] so fedora with kde will be better [17:09] cause the same people work on both guis [17:09] different :) [17:11] guys [17:11] Pagkalos: no, they have to work on gtk, gnome, Qt, KDE, kernel, etc... Kubuntu devs don't have such a huge list of things to maintain, but we are few in number [17:11] when i try to access my windows folder from samba shares, the password it asks is smbpasswd? [17:11] tsimpson: anywho they have more than most linux flavors [17:11] and username my linux username? [17:12] Pagkalos: when you access windows-shares on win-box it is your win-user/win-password [17:13] i am using my kubuntu box, and i go to network:samba shares, open my shared folder [17:13] and it asks for password and username [17:13] what do i enter? [17:13] Pagkalos: if it is on the same machine you dont need samba just in a terminal sudo dolphin and go to the partition [17:14] 2 different machines [17:14] ok [17:14] hallo, ist hier deutsch erlaubt? [17:14] !de [17:14] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [17:14] llutz : so what are the credentials i have to enter? [17:15] danke, deshalb frage ich ja [17:15] matze: das war auch nur die Antwort, kein Angriff :) [17:15] matze: you welcome [17:15] is there any replacement for asoundconf in Kubuntu 9-10 since they've taken asoundconf away from the repo [17:16] llutz : when i try to access my vista machine from kubuntu, i enter username and pass of vista and it fails [17:16] Pagkalos: the user/pass for that machine the shares are on [17:16] it fails [17:16] Pagkalos: so your vista-user [17:16] maybe cause i havent installed samba [17:17] Pagkalos: you don't need samba to access smb-shares, smbclient is what you need [17:17] thanks [17:18] so sudo apt-get install smbclient? [17:18] Pagkalos: yes [17:22] llutz : thats why when i enter my vista credentials, it failed? [17:22] or do i have to use smbpasswd [17:23] Pagkalos: no, smbpasswd is needed if you run samba-server on linux-boxes [17:26] hello [17:27] knetworkmanager is behaving really weired. If I disconnect it from the wlan at university und connect it again it does not show any wlan anymore. [17:28] and don't know why. Even restarting knetworkmanager and network-manager does not help [17:38] supersorry, im eager ... please vorgive me a Ask in two irc´s [17:39] i have installed recordmydesktop and cant find it on the Menue [17:40] matze: its a commandline tool [17:41] ups, on the swiss lernstick with debian there is a xwindow-programm [17:41] matze: there gtk-recordmydesktop [17:41] not sure there is a pure kde GUI equivalent [17:42] there had been one.... [17:42] yes I think so too [17:42] but can't find it :/ [17:42] i guess it was kde3, krecordmydesktop, but i'm not sure [17:43] thankkyou, i will look with apt-cache search ... [17:43] matze: llutz : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/241073 [17:43] going qt now ... [17:44] quite old though, but llutz seems right. [17:44] can't find qt-record.. in the repo. [17:44] matze: maybe "wink" will do for you too [17:45] i have read the link [17:45] i think i had a very bad experience with wink.. [17:45] recordmydesktop only with kde3.x? [17:45] nope [17:45] but the "kde version" seems not maintained [17:46] (at least not packaged) [17:46] matze: see"man recordmydesktop" for usage [17:46] so i guess you can use the command-line recordmydesktop OR the GUI gtk-recordmydesktop (but this is gnomish) OR find the qt-recordmydesktop sources and compile it. [17:47] hello there [17:47] please, help me to install Cindelerra. When i type apt-get install cindellerra it sais that there is no ffmpeg, but ffmpeg is installed. what should I do? [17:48] ok, i will learn the command-line ore using the swiss lernstick [17:51] youre fast and frindly, thankyou very mutch and good evening [17:52] what is the default voip phone for kubuntu? [17:54] grrr [17:55] what is the default voip / sip phone for kubuntu? [17:56] ct529: ekiga? [17:56] i don't know if it's "default" [17:57] hi! i somehow lost sound for my video and mp3 files. although my login/logout sounds come good (systemsettings > multimedia > clicking "test" button works fine). any pointers? [17:58] sayakb: have you installed kubuntu-restricted-extras? [17:58] i try to access some shared files in windows vista machine from my kubuntu machine. but when i try to open it through samba shares, it asks for credentials...? what credentials do i need? [17:59] sayakb: alot of people have been loosing sound go to kmix and make sure the pcm sliders are up and not muted [17:59] jimmy51_: i've been using this system for quite a while and I had those installed since sometime... they worked fine till today. [17:59] Kolia: but Ekiga is not kde [17:59] rstob911: pcm slider at full volume [17:59] Anomos: again: those for vista-account [18:00] llutz : it doesnt f*** work [18:00] Anomos: the default windows credentials are user Guest and no password, iirc [18:00] sayakb: ok this is what i did go to system settings and then multimedia then i used pulse audio for everything then it worked [18:01] amichair : i enter my vista username and pass [18:01] and it fails [18:01] i think its when you use pulse for some but not all that it breaks [18:01] sayakb: go to system settings, multimedia and check to see what the preferred output devices are. [18:01] sayakb: oh... sorry rstob911 [18:01] you already mentioned that [18:01] lol [18:02] rstob911: doesnt seem to work for me :( [18:02] jimmy51_: mine was HDA intel preferred and HDMI ATI and pulseaudio among the other ones [18:03] Greetings [18:03] sayakb: how about setting HDA Intel for all, and restarting? [18:03] Anomos, trying to connect to vista shares ? [18:03] rstob911: btw, clicking "test" for anything but "hda intel" doesnt produce any sound [18:03] Greetings All. Can anyone help me with fonts in firefox? they look ugly :\ [18:03] sayakb: have you installed these nonfree codecs http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/index.html [18:04] jimmy51_: done that.. have been using hda intel as default since the very beginning [18:04] BluesKaj yes [18:04] rstob911: nope, i installed kubuntu-restricted-extras only, [18:04] Anomos: if there's a domain or workgroup u can try user@domain or DOMAIN\user, also check that workgroup name is configured correctly, it may help [18:04] i dont have the medibuntu repo added [18:04] sayakb: when you open amorok right next to it is there another icon [18:05] sayakb: beyond that, i'm out of ideas. those are the things that have caught me in the past [18:05] amichair i can only access the public folder in vista, all others need credentials [18:05] BluesKaj, amichair: i'm only able to browse smb shares if i run dolphin with sudo. is that normal? [18:05] rstob911: nope, that came initially when it asked me to install extra codecs, and once i did, it never came back [18:05] rstob911: sound isnt there for vlc or dragon player either [18:06] jimmy51_: I access xp shares with no sudo, just browse to smb:/pxbox/share and it works great [18:06] Anomos, make sure you have the nameserver and IP in the /etc/hosts.allow file , it seems vista is rather flaky about linux access these days and editing hosts.allow makes the connection to vista stable . [18:06] sayakb: then you will need the win64 codecs and also the nonfree codecs then while you are at it libdvdcss2 [18:07] amichair: hmmm.. i'm not having any luck with that. any samba share i try returns "access denied" unless i've run dolphin with sudo [18:07] rstob911: what is funny is that it worked seamlessly till yesterday... [18:08] jimmy51_: I guess something in the configuration is off (dunno what) [18:08] mine did the same thing after the last updates [18:08] BluesKaj: /etc/hosts.allow controls incoming connections not outgoing [18:08] rstob911: exactly, I did upgrade today.... [18:08] jimmy51_, yes that's normal , if youdn't have it set up to automount in fstab [18:09] sayakb: I lost vlc sound in the upgrade to karmic too, but just had to reselect the sources in system settings and vlc and it went back to working === ubuntu is now known as plumyop [18:09] llutz, maybe it's just coincidence , but doesn't vista scan the network for allowed IPs [18:10] BluesKaj: even if it does, hosts.allow won't affect it [18:10] no clue about vista [18:10] amichair: sources as in? i've tried selecting pulseaudio, but that doesnt work either [18:10] i'll give a show to win64 codecs. [18:11] sayakb: if you want to you can activate this repo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [18:11] BluesKaj: I had to install winbind and add it to some config file before the windows host names were recognized (or the other way around), direct ip address always worked. dunno if it's related to anything here though :-) === hggdh_ is now known as hggdh [18:12] thanks rstob911, I'll install those :) [18:12] sayakb: I have HDA NVIDIA HDMI selected under 'video' in the sound settings (external tv screen), and ALSA selected in vlc. but different things work for different hardware I guess [18:13] amichair: HDA ATI HDMI here, no sound there either lol [18:14] hey :) looking for help with motherboard sensores, for fan speed..... [18:14] i think my mobo is too new! [18:14] sayakb: I just played around with it (test button and all) until it worked. but I'm sure I didn't have to change other drivers or configuration files or anything else before it started working, if that helps [18:15] is there a program for linux to scan an ntfs drive for errors? [18:17] amichair, could be , I tried several different methods to connect between boxes , finally settled for openssh between linux boxes and smbclient for windows [18:17] joe___: i use parted magic it has some really nice tools with it === joe___ is now known as joe____ [18:17] for linux? [18:17] yep [18:17] is it free? [18:17] oh [18:17] parted i thought u said partition [18:17] cool, ill go check it out [18:18] you can get it at distrowatch [18:18] it is a bootable cd based on gnome [18:19] aftertaf: any info in dmesg to tell you anything about the mobo? [18:19] cool it says i already have it [18:23] joe____: burn to a cd then boot it up [18:23] are you using amarok 2.2.1? [18:24] joe i will load it on my end as well so i can tell you what tool to use [18:24] rstob911: [18:24] it says it dont do ntfs [18:28] yes it will tell you if you have a bad drive or bad boot sectors joe____ [18:29] joe____: no matter what is on the drive [18:29] hrmm [18:29] here is the error im getting [18:29] its when i try to load coherence [18:29] en español, que es esto [18:29] WARN fs_store Nov 18 13:10:35 on walk of '/home/joe/smb4k': IOError("Failed to add watch on ''/home/joe/smb4k'' - (-1)",) (coherence/backends/fs_storage.py:471) [18:29] er [18:30] no [18:30] wrong one [18:30] WARN fs_store Nov 18 13:10:35 on walk of '/mnt': IOError("Failed to add watch on ''/mnt/muzak/Music/B/Bon_Jovi-Donnington_-_Monsters_of_Rock_(22-08-87)-Bootleg-1987-SFA'' - (-1)",) (coherence/backends/fs_storage.py:471) [18:30] Hi, If I would like to sudo aptitude update and then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade and close the terminal window all in one command, what is the syntax?

[18:48] (during alpha5 -> karmic release I was working fine) [18:50] Seren__: is this a laptop [18:50] rstob911: yep [18:51] hi there... where can I set whether Kubuntu should store HWclock in localtime or in UTC?

[18:54] lspci says : ATI Technologies Inc RX780/RX790 Chipset Host Bridge [18:54] what doesnt work on it? [18:54] thanks for the link rstob911, this seems to be my issue [18:54] hi everybody. what SIP phone is recommended on kubuntu? ekig installs also evolution (for some incomprehensible reasons) [18:56] letalis: with kde plasma applets and with gkrellm... i have CPU temps, HDD temps. [18:56] but I dont have any fan speeds [18:56] in each software the fans section is empty [18:57] does your ati chp handle fan speed information? [18:57] yep [18:57] i see in bios and with the mobo tools that install on windoze === mgagne is now known as wftl [18:58] okay. its possible that the driver for the chip isnt feature complete just yet [18:59] i guess so.... thought as much :) [18:59] not to worry [18:59] is there a rep for thunderbird 3 for karmic? [18:59] the daemons responsible for hddtemp and such may be in a similar situation [19:00] i think so, seems that all the software use the same roots for their data getting [19:00] seems like a minor situation, if it doesnt affect your situation, i wouldnt worry too much about it [19:00] nah, was just for geekness of it ;) [19:01] me being happy with my new setup and all.... [19:01] ok, stupid question: I accidentally moved a window out of my desktop, so that the adressbar and everything is no longer visible. When I right click the status bar I don't get a menu with which to move [19:01] kaddi: hold down ALT then drag it back [19:01] kaddi: hold ALT and click elsewhere [19:02] :) we've all done that before ;) [19:02] thanks! :D [19:02] oh yeah [19:02] it's back where it should be :p [19:02] you ask once, you remember forever ;) [19:02] especially when i got my wife a netbook with a tiny screen.

[19:30] paste here please [19:31] how do I know what's line 2. not trying to sound stupid but are you asking me for the links that I see in that file or line 2 means "line 2" at the top? [19:33] Chaitu: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.lst then give link to this channel [19:33] ok thanks. [19:35] llutz, : I get the same error message.

[19:49] so that if I download any updates to a cd it can take it from there llutz ? [19:50] ner0x: must be a conf problem [19:50] rstob911: It's a hardware modem, no configuration necessary. [19:50] Chaitu: no, therefor you'll nee aptoncd. your sources contain lines "deb [cdrom] ..." which makes apt searching on cd for packages, what mostly will fail [19:50] ner0x: im not a fan of usb modems [19:50] rstob911: I can't find an internal hardware modem that works on linux... :-/ [19:51] I see.. will do that right away. thanks [19:51] Chaitu: just put a # in front of those lines [19:51] *at the beginning [19:51] the best modems are the us robotics hardware modems [19:52] ok cool... doing that [19:53] ner0x: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=406088&Sku=U13-4064 [19:54] ner0x, what kind of modem do you have ?

I hope it works [20:17] just installed Windows 7 Ultimate and Kubuntu 9.10. Both 64bits edition. I have some problems by getting GRUB to work [20:18] I have installed grub on /dev/sdb1 - this is where Windows 7 have installed some boot thingy. [20:19] When I start up my computer it just write GRUB and then nothing more happends [20:20] Anybody has a solution for this? Im currently usign the Live CD [20:20] llutz, : nope didn't help. [20:23] Laeborg, : did you install windows after linux? [20:23] nope before [20:23] do you see grub screen? am not leet at this.. just messed up mbr couple of times so tryin to see if I can help [20:24] Linux (/) is on /dev/sda1 and Windows 7 is on /dev/sda3 [20:24] It just writes GRUB and nothing more [20:24] Laeborg: isnt there a mbr sdb0 [20:25] hi [20:25] fdisk -l just shows me /dev/sdb1 [20:25] This is created by Windows, but i choosed to install GRUB there [20:25] could someone help me a bit? [20:26] Laeborg, : when you install linux on a partition, it should be giving you dual boot option... [20:26] Laeborg: grub needs to be installed on the mbr it should be a small portion of the begining of the drive [20:26] hey, anyone else have problems with clicking buttons in certain applications [20:27] office 2k7 uses calibri as the default font. what's the linux equivalent of that?

[20:31] I'm having a problem recently, after splash, I'm seeing just black screen with some white pixels and neither the ctrl +Fx doesn't work [20:32] to be more precise, gdm loads normaly (after without seeing anything having typed dpkg-reconfigure gdm) [20:32] I tried even silent mode [20:32] but it seems that I'm damned to use Gnome now... [20:33] and the problem appeared last week after kernel updates === kb is now known as Guest96128 [20:39] jean_pierre_cz, are you using nvidia gfx hardware ? [20:39] stating that it happened after kernel module upgrade it does sound like a video driver problem [20:39] wait a minute [20:40] I'll try to find out [20:40] do an lsmod [20:41] if the nvidea module is loaded it is in there [20:41] to see our cards you can do lspci in most cases [20:41] *your [20:42] ok, here it is: http://pastebin.com/m6bb3690f [20:43] and I think I'm seeing the problem in that but I can't solve it anyway... [20:44] yup those integrated chipset are most troublesome... :-( [20:44] :-( [20:45] but it used to work until last week... :'( [20:45] because I love KDE... [20:45] yes, but there was a kernel upgrade an dgfx drivers are kernelbound [20:45] you can downgrade your kernel... [20:46] how can I do it? [20:46] Because in GRUB, I see more kernel versions but none of those does work [20:48] with aptitude to select a particular version of the package, append “=” to the package name [20:49] yes turbor [20:49] so look at the current version of your kernel image and pick the previous one [20:49] normally you should be able to install multiple kernels at the same time [20:50] so really downgrading isn't needed [20:50] just add a specific version [20:50] maybe pick a number that is in grub [20:51] I recently switched from debian to ubuntu so I'm not that sure of ubuntu changed those rules, but in 'real debian' [20:51] you most likely have a meta package kernel-image [20:51] that auto depends/upgrades to a new kernel version once available [20:51] but you can select specific version [20:51] yes I see [20:52] I would have expected that upgrading would remove the old grub entires but given your description it doesn't do it correctly [20:52] ok, I'm going to check it in Synaptic [20:53] hi, someone stole the icon of my firefox shortcut in k-menu. How can I get it back? (Meaning where is the icon saved, so that I can enter the path to it in the editor) [20:53] wait a minute, gonna find out [20:53] thx [20:54] usr/share/pixmaps/ [20:54] or usr/share/kde4/ [20:55] is the icon gone or the shortcut that launches firfox? [20:55] the icon [20:57] oh myyyyyy [20:57] I'm so stupid [20:57] jean_pierre_cz: thanks, fouond it in pixmaps :) [20:57] linux-headers-lbm-2.6.31-15-generic not installed [20:57] you're welcome [20:59] lol, but it didn't refresh the icon under favourites and you can't set a new icon for a favourite [20:59] oh nooo [21:00] well I don't know, I'm now forced by coincidences to use Gnome, that I really hate [21:00] you can however delete the current firefox shortcut n favourites and readd a new firefox shortcut [21:00] it's just not a pretty way [21:00] jean_pierre_cz: what happened to your kde? :o [21:01] kdm doesn't load, instead of it, I have got just a black screen... [21:01] AFF [21:01] jean_pierre_cz: have you tried starting kdm from safemode? [21:02] yes, it does nothing [21:02] jean_pierre_cz: last time I only got a blank screen this was related to kernel mode settings. I got my login back once I added the optoin nomodeset to the booting kernel [21:02] nomodeset? [21:03] it disables KMS which are now enabled by default as far as I know. [21:03] aha [21:05] this is from my really basic understanding: currently they are trying to shift the drivers and video related things from being controled by X to being controled by the kernel through the "kernel mode settings". This started with karmic [21:05] so if there is a bug with kms or your graphic cards isn't compatible then you may be left with no video output at all [21:06] it is possible to take the control over your video output from the kernel by using the switch "nomodeset" when booting the kernel [21:06] (but this is just me. If anyone knows this to be wrong, please feel free to correct me :) ) [21:07] to add that switch (when you're not using grub2) you press e for edit in the grub menu. select the line were the kernel is specified and type "nomodeset" at the end without the "". Then hit b for boot [21:07] this won't make the change permanent, it'll boot with the nomodeset only that once, next reboot it'll be back to the default setting [21:10] I know it [21:11] I was trying to run ro single mode in order to reconfigure gdm [21:11] but it didn't work either.... so I did it without the screen, just by heart [21:11] nice [21:14] yep, tricky situation [21:15] but now, I've been playing with Synaptic a little bit, and it demands reboot [21:15] so let's see in a few minutes [21:22] anyone actually had data corruption with a fresh install of kubuntu 9.10? [21:22] Lindows: very large files? [21:23] How do I disable a driver on kubuntu? I ran "sudo lshq -C video" and two drivers showed up... i only need the one to be operational. They both also stated that they were unclaimed? === Heliwr_ is now known as Heliwr [21:23] coreyman: which 2? [21:23] anything? I haven't, but I'm worried about it, heh. My kvm image for windows xp is 60 GB... [21:23] maco Radeon VE is what i need, intel G35 is onboard [21:23] Lindows: oh my. yes, theres been data corruption on ext4 with 9.10 for files >512MB [21:24] will fsck correct the errors? [21:24] coreyman: oh [21:24] Lindows: no, this is per-file corruption, not filesystem corruption [21:24] Lindows: the files are simply being written incorrectly [21:25] have they found the bug? is there a fix coming soon? [21:25] coreyman: hmmm i think "i915" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ? [21:25] maco i need to edit that file? [21:25] coreyman: yeah [21:25] coreyman: it might be blacklist.conf [21:26] depending on the version youre using [21:26] maco then i just restart? [21:26] 9.10 [21:27] put "blacklist i915" in there to try blacklisting the intel driver [21:27] k [21:27] brb, going to do that. [21:27] I need help: someone in my AMSN list can talk if he was me! i dont know if he is using a script or something to do it, i hate it, can I put a block to that with linux? Maybe a protection with a message: HAHA LOL U CANT HACK ME BIATCH!! [21:28] It says [21:28] Luis Javid said: [21:28] I love cuck [21:28] and things like that, i need help >_> [21:29] luis_have you tried changing your password? [21:31] I think the corruption is SSD specific [21:36] do i need to install kdenetwork-filesharing to smb share a folder? [21:37] Hey maco I made a boo boo, it's the intel g31 :) [21:37] I said g35 earlier i think [21:37] i dont know what g31 is any different from any others... [21:37] intel graphics driver is i915 afaik [21:37] hola [21:38] esto k es [21:38] oh [21:38] maco its still showing up in "sudo lshq -C video" [21:38] both drivers are still set at the "unclaimed" status too. [21:38] jimmy51: no, but you will need...I think the package is called smfs [21:39] jimmy51: let me check [21:39] coreyman: i dont know then [21:39] Lindows: thanks. i clicked the "configure file sharing" button in dolphin and nothing popped up [21:40] maco :( [21:40] jimmy51: smbfs [21:40] that'll let you mount network folders [21:40] and read / write to them [21:41] Lindows: will that let me quickly share out my kubuntu folders to windows users? [21:41] jimmy51: you might need to install samba, I'm not sure. [21:41] jimmy51: if smbfs doesn't work, you probably need samba [21:43] coreyman: is it hurting anything that both are loaded? [21:43] maco all the menus and window titles are unviewable [21:44] they look all cross-hatched if you know what i mean. [21:44] maybe this isn't a driver issue. [21:44] do you know what could be causing it? [21:45] coreyman: can you disable your internal graphics in teh bios maybe? [21:45] (i have to get offline now to switch rooms) [21:48] maco ill check [21:51] hi all [21:51] hi [21:51] lo none [21:51] Anyone heard if they are going to bring surround sound upmixing to phonon [21:53] cragdor: better to ask in #phonon [21:54] sounds daft but how do you direct msgs to people is it just a case of putting they name followed by colon? [21:55] that's the convention, but their name anywhere in a sentence will do, cragdor [21:55] and note: the rest of us can still see it if you do that. [21:55] maco you still there? [21:55] private mode is by /msg name [21:55] ok [21:55] maco are you back* [21:55] best to ask before using /msg though [21:56] tsimpson: thanks [21:57] if you type the first letter it should autocomplete by tab [21:58] composting keeps getting temporarily disabled... WHY [22:01] coreyman: vdeo card? [22:01] ghostcube radeon ve [22:01] oh ati i dont know nothing about ati -_- better for the newer atis [22:01] composting makes my windows readable, without it I can't see the kde taskbar or window titles. [22:01] or is it old one ? [22:01] its old [22:02] which driver are you running ? [22:03] the one it auto installed for the radeon ve.... i would tell you except when i open a terminal i cant see the display [22:03] only window i can see right now is this, and firefox and my desktop [22:03] i'm trying to configure phonon settings but i have not kde.org directory under ~\.config\ [22:04] is it somewhere else in kubuntu [22:04] coreyman: sorry cant tell you maybe any others in here better on ati probs [22:04] ghostcube this is a wubi install, should that matter [22:05] oha never used this but i cant really tell you [22:05] i always have one hdd for linux one hdd for others [22:05] well im logging back into windows [22:06] coreyman: when you go to start system then hardware drivers how many choices of drivers does it give you [22:07] hi [22:07] ewww windows :( [22:08] coreyman: when you go to start system then hardware drivers how many choices of drivers does it give you [22:09] rstob911 i can't see start, or system... to get to hardware drivers [22:09] cragdor: you tried jackd as sound server [22:09] brb [22:09] in kubuntu [22:11] rstob911 i cant see those menus [22:11] they are garbled. [22:11] but the login screen looks fine [22:11] and so does my desktop background [22:12] nope but i'm on the phonon channel and they reckon its a config setting in file: ~/.config/kde.org/Phonon-Xine.xine.conf , but i don't have the kde.org file so i can't set anything [22:12] coreyman1: thats because it uses the vesa driver at the login [22:13] hi everyone. Is there somebody, who can tell my why update-notifier-kde doesn't show any notification in the tray area? [22:13] got the same problem [22:13] coreyman1: boot in safe mode [22:14] rstob911 kk, ill boot therea nd get back on messenger [22:14] rstob911 thx for helping, brb === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [22:18] effex_, you can use update-notifier for gnome, it works [22:20] so i forgot how to start x11 from cli... oh well ... anyway what were you saying? Once I get into recovery mode what do I do? I ran "sudo lshw -C video" the intel driver is listed and the radeon driver is listed... (intel onboard , radeon card) [22:28] . [22:30] good evening all. [22:32] Hi guys, when we packaged up Phonon-Backend-Xine, what happened to the location of the config file: Phonon-Xine.xine.conf [22:32] Sorry i mean hi all [22:40] joesu la m4v x) [22:42] cragdor: sorry i think it is in the etc [22:43] should I be able to browse a movie DVD? [22:43] in etc? ok will look thanks, rstob911 [22:45] Walzmyn: not unless you install the nonfree codecs and others like libdvdcss2 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [22:45] Walzmyn: you will also need also win32 or win64 codecs [22:45] rstob911: I can watch the video. I wanted to look at the files on the disk. It's not showing up in /media and it's not in the recently pluged in devices plasmoid [22:46] Walzmyn: let me look [22:47] rstob911, No its not in there i don't think its being used in kubuntu much to the confusion of a Phonon developer who thinks it should exist for Phonon-Xine, to work properly [22:49] Walzmyn: i just opened one up in dolphin and i can see all the files there [22:49] rstob911: what'd you open? /media/dvd? [22:49] yes a dvd [22:50] it shows up in my side bar in dolphin [22:50] rstob911: see that's weird. in /media all i've got is cdrom0 and cdrom1 and neither of those have anything in them [22:51] Walzmyn: when you insert a dvd does it show up as plugged in on the taskbar [22:51] rstob911: nope [22:51] that must be your problem [22:52] Walzmyn: you on a laptop [22:52] popped it in and out and nothing changed [22:52] rstob911: yes [22:53] i dont know do you have dvdread installed [22:54] Walzmyn: can you browse the files on a regular cd? [22:54] rstob911: is that a package or an app? I put it in synaptic and found only libdvd0 [22:54] yes i can [22:54] Walzmyn: if so, run "sudo apt-get install libdvdread4" then "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" then try the dvd again [22:54] Walzmyn: it is a package [22:55] Walzmyn: you may have to reboot after installing the css package. i dunno. i use archlinux. :P [22:55] I take that back, I cannot read a CD [22:56] Walzmyn: thats not good. :) what does 'sudo mount /media/cdrom0' say? [22:57] mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [22:57] Walzmyn: and "ls /media/cdrom0" says what? [22:57] gives me a list of files on the cd [22:58] So it's mounted, but I can't see it in anything GUI? [22:58] hi [22:58] yeah, I can cd into it via terminal, just not GUI [22:58] Walzmyn: my guess is that you have somehow killed the permissions for dolphin to read plugged devices. or maybe your particular hardware just throws dolphin off... try making a new user account and see if the same thing happens... also, make sure you run that css script ^ for dvd support [23:00] great, I can't eject the thing now :) - how do you unmount CLI? [23:04] I might have missed it, but is there an option to do a fresh install wtih ext3 instead of ext4 for kubuntu 9.10? [23:04] or do I need to use an alternate CD iso? [23:06] Lindows: you should be able to [23:06] Lindows: when you're seting up the partitions there should be a drop down menu to select the format type. [23:07] in case anyone is curious, just did an md5sum of a backup on a network server of a 30GB+ file and compared it to a local copy on kubuntu 9.10 x64 using ext4, checksums don't match..... [23:07] definately corruption [23:08] does this mean fedora has the same problem? or is it just ubuntu? [23:08] as in....are they going to patch it "soon"? [23:11] do the devs frequent this channel? [23:12] Lindows: they would more likely be on #kubuntu-devel [23:12] thanks [23:12] Lindows: np [23:14] Walzmyn: 'sudo umount /media/cdrom0' :) then 'sudo eject -T' ;) [23:15] Lindows: did you run "sync" before you checked the sums? bc thats an ext4 thing. for the moment. and yea it'll b fixed in no time. and yea the regular live cd has an ext3 option under 'manual partitioning' [23:16] yes, ran sync [23:16] the file has been on my HD for 3-4 reboots already === fetusbub1le is now known as fetusbubble === ummccal1 is now known as ebonair === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [23:32] Ciao a tutti/E! === raffa is now known as raffa_ === Peterk is now known as Guest45854 === raffa_ is now known as raffa === raffa is now known as raffa__ [23:33] is it just me, or do NONE of the launcher menu widgets have the ability to edit the menus? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:43] naught101: that was a design choice. the menu is a heirachical list of folders (by xdg standards), containing the actual menu entries. run 'kmenuedit' instead? [23:46] I'm learning to really like the new kubuntu... however, it's probably like most windows users.. I'm almost too lazy to learn a new interface after 5 years on gnome [23:48] djustice: ok [23:48] wacky choice, that one.. [23:56] Scunizi: I really don't get why anyone would not like KDE better unless they either had a bad experience with KDE0,1,2 (understandable) or their fav version of Windows is '98
