ravhello. since i upgraded to karmic, I can't pair my laptop with any bluetooth devices, is this a known issue?03:10
RoastedHey guys - just installed Kubuntu - And thunderbird/xchat have sooooo small of a font its unreadable. I changed ALL font settings in KDE up but theyre still small as ever. How can I fix it?03:15
Roastedrav - I dont see them man. This aint workin :/03:21
Roastedrav - I can set the font size up but it only shoots up the text body of the email, not the menus or anything.03:21
Roastedrav - I didnt have this problem in gnome, so this happening in kde made me thought it was a setting in KDE - I beefed them all up and it didnt change thunderbird or xchat at all.03:22
ravRoasted: i've never used thunderbird. firefox does have a package that integrates it into KDE, I assume thunderbird has something similar03:23
Roastedrav - are you a whiz with dual screen monitors in kde?03:25
ravRoasted: no03:25
Roastedokay03:31
Roastedrav - I set up dual boot on my main rig with ubuntu 9.04 and kubuntu 9.04. both on nvidia 180 drivers. kde gave me hell, my 2nd monitor wouldnt hit the proper resolution. gnome was fine. I ended up copying the xorg over from gnome and it was fine. I was trying to figure out what back fired with kde cause I dont see how kde would have done naything to effect it. Its still linux. Its still nvidia 180 drivers. Its still the X server, etc.03:32
ScuniziMy desktop folder widgit has nothing in it.. on a different install it shows a folder for Home and the trash can.. how do I display the same thing on this install?03:49
dillonhello03:57
dilloni am having problems installing kdenlive, was wondering if anyone had time to help me a little bit03:57
Scunizidillon: you doing it from the repos?03:58
dilloni looked at the official site and i am trying to install from the ppa repos the site listed03:59
dillon(for 0.7.6 release instead of the 0.7.5 in the kubuntu repos)03:59
Scunizidillon: well.. if you've listed the repos in the package manager and updated then the latest version should replace the older version in the normal repos.  That's about the best I can do.04:00
dillonok let me refresh the package list as there seems to be some bug fixes available...04:02
Scunizidillon: do you know what the differences are between the two versions? is it significant enough to do this?04:02
dillonwell the way it was worded on the site made it seem significant :D but i didnt look into any change logs lol04:03
Scunizimight not be worth the pain if you know what I mean.04:04
dillonyeah, its still a no go, says package dependencies could not be met... i believe i'll look for a change log to see if its worth the trouble04:05
Scunizithat's the trouble with some ppa's.. you just never know..04:06
dillonwhat if i reverted back to the kubuntu repos, and let it install the dependencies for that version, then tried the ppa one again?04:07
Scunizimight work or just make a huge mess of it.04:08
dillonha yeah true04:08
s2rhello04:11
dillonhi there04:12
s2rIs there any way to use kubuntu to recover ntfs ACL?04:12
s2rI use kubuntu in a couple of vmware images however I didn't try to use it as a recovery cd04:12
dillonwhats ACL04:13
s2rntfs file permissions04:13
dillonoh04:13
s2rwhere an owner and user file permissions are specified04:13
s2rI don't know what kind of options does ntfs-3g offers from kubuntu livecd04:14
Scunizis2r: if nobody here can answer try in #ubuntu or ##linux04:14
s2rI about to burn the image right now04:14
s2rScunizi: ok, thanks04:14

neomantra82hi all, just upgraded my desktop from 8.10 to 9.10.  upon booting up i get a black screen.  i can boot into the "recovery mode" kernel and get a command line but haven't found any useful threads via googling that might help me fix this.  any ideas?04:18
neomantra82i'm using nvidia drivers04:18
Scuniziare the drivers you're using downloaded direct from the nvidia site?04:19
s2rdo you installed the drivers provided fron nvidia?04:19
s2roops... what Scunizi said.04:19
neomantra82no it was whatever came in the kubuntu repositories04:20
RoastedTiresXGuys - my font size on xchat and thunderbird is unbearably small. How can I change it? All other font is fine.04:20
=== nick is now known as Guest32141
neomantra82Scunizi: but it was the proprietary driver from the ppa repository though...not the open source04:21
=== Stevo is now known as Stevo_
neomantra82oh, n/m i've had some luck.  renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something else (e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.corrupt) seems to have gotten me back into KDM at least04:24
Scunizineomantra82: don't use the driver from a ppa.. if you have to go outside the repo's use the one from nvidia's site.04:27
neomantra82Scunizi: ppa may have been the wrong term.  i just went to the kmenu, selected the system settings "hardware drivers" option and enabled the proprietary drivers.  i was just able to restore the desktop environment by renaming the xorg.conf.  going to try re-enabling the nvidia drivers now04:29
=== jono_ is now known as jono
Scunizineomantra82: yea.. xorg isn't really used anymore.. if it's there it will override xrandr but if not written correctly then you've got problems.. like you experienced.04:29
neomantra82Scunizi: well what's odd is that i never customized it or did anything special with that file prior to upgrading so how did it get goofed up to start with?  :-/04:32
FirefisheI just updated to 9.10 from 9.04 using the synaptic upgrade tool.  The upgrade got botched in the middle of the endeavor, so I had to use a combination of upgrade and dist-upgrade on the command line.  I'm pretty sure I've stabilized now, but I need to get my sources.list file to a normalized state, without all the unnecessary entries that the upgrade tool failed to re-do.  I need help doing this.04:33
Scunizineomantra82: probably didn't get goofed up.  just wasn't written correctly for the latest release..04:33
ScuniziFirefishe: here's mine.. it's clean .. http://pastebin.com/f786d93204:37
Scunizior should be anyway04:37
FirefisheScunizi:  Thanks, I'll look it over.04:39
FirefisheI appreciate it.04:39
ScuniziFirefishe: np..04:39
Scuniziok.. I put a link to /var in my Desktop Folder.. now I want to get rid of it.. should I just trash it.. seems like it wants to move the actual /var to the trash05:04
Scunizistill there.. no worries.05:04
tsimpsonScunizi: deleting the link will only delete the link05:04
Scunizitsimpson: thanks. .that's what I found out..  I'm new to kde and finding the newer incarnation pretty nice.. been with gnome for 5 years..05:06

poyntzhi folks. how do you change the kde panel?05:17
poyntzas in, how do you change its colours, etc?05:17
poyntzor its icons05:17
poyntzi know you can change height, autohide, etc by going to panel options.05:17
ErtheRight click your desktop05:18
ErtheGo to Desktop Settings05:18
ErtheSelect your Theme (or download new ones)05:18
poyntzErthe: thanks. how do I get new themes? i'm guessing I can get them at kde-look.org, but no idea what to look for05:21
ErtheLook to the right of the drop down05:21
ErtheThere's a button, New theme05:21
ErtheClick it.05:21
ErtheHave fun.05:21
poyntzErthe: thanks05:22
Erthenp05:22
ErtheIt downloads content from kde-look.org05:22
ErtheMost of the visual display settings in KDE follows suit05:22
poyntznext question, cairo-dock starts up twice on start up. i checked autostart and there's only one instance of cairo-dock there. please help05:22
ErtheUh, I don't use cairo-dock.05:23
poyntz:/05:23
poyntzit's good, i recommend it05:23
poyntzexcept it has it's problems in kde05:23
poyntz1 of which i mentioned05:23
ErtheMy plasma desktop is far more than enough05:24
poyntzalso it has issues with shutting down kubutntu, the trash applet, etc05:24
Erthehttp://imagebin.ca/view/QxAiTQEz.html05:24
ErtheSee?05:24
poyntzErthe: yeh, you could load everything out of a panel if you liked, but i prefer a dock :P05:24
ErtheI don't load software out of a panel.05:24
ErtheI load it from plasmoids.05:25
* poyntz doesn't know what a plasmoid is05:25
ErtheSee the four little boxes on the top left?05:26
poyntzah05:26
ErtheThey're quick-launch plasmoids.05:26
poyntzah k05:26
ErtheYou can run a panel-less desktop if you wanted to and use only Plasmoids to tie it all together.05:26
poyntzso they're not desktop icons?05:27
ErtheNope, there is no desktop per se.05:27
poyntzyeh, i've learned that lol05:27
ErtheYou can set your desktop to Folder View if you want.05:27
poyntzwhen i installed kubuntu-desktop i was thinking where tf is the desktop gone haha05:27
poyntzyeh, that thing lagged my comp so i got rid of it05:27
ErtheBut it's a trade off for some features.05:28
poyntzi added a desktop folder quickstart for dolphin/konqueror/etc.05:28
poyntzannoying that i had to do it for each program individually05:28
poyntzbut it becomes an issue when you're saving things in konqueror and you have to select folders to save files to05:29
ErtheI copy menu items to a folder05:29
* poyntz doesn't understand what that means05:29
ErtheThen I use Quick Access to view that folder05:29
ErtheFrom the launch menu (k menu)05:29
poyntzahhh05:29
poyntzyeh, to each their own i guess. (likes kmenu)05:30
ErtheThe most important thing is having the option to do it any way you want.05:30
ErtheWith KDE4, I finally have a desktop that I can do that with.05:30
poyntzi'm used to gnome, so i've set up the interface too look like mine did on gnome, ie, classic menu, disabled many of the kde effects, or selected new ones, etc.05:31
poyntzErthe: surprised you couldn't do it in gnome/xfce :/05:31
ErtheI'm... not a fan of GNOME05:31
ErtheXFCE is nice on a server for a light X display.05:31
poyntzErthe: I haven't noticed anything particularly different about kde desktop over gnome05:31
ErtheUh, there's a *lot* that's different.05:32
poyntzErthe: yeh, gnome is naturally ugly05:32
ErtheAll the "widgets" you put on your panels in KDE are widgets you can put right on the desktop.05:32
poyntzErthe: you have to customize gnome a fair bit to get it looking nice05:32
ErtheHence, Plasmoids05:32
ErtheI'm interested in usability, not really appearance.05:32
poyntzErthe: ah k. but apart from that. and all the new apps kde offers, what's different05:32
ErtheThough I think KDE is much better looking than GNOME now.05:32
poyntzyeh, kde looks awesome05:33
ErtheFor starters, the file dialog doesn't suck in KDE05:33
ErtheThat's my #1 reason for not using GNOME05:33
poyntzfile dialog?05:33
ErtheFile -> Open05:33
ErtheThat file selector05:33
ErtheI don't know what they were thinking05:33
ErtheIt's crippled imo05:33
poyntzErthe: you mean, nautilus05:33
ErtheNo.05:33
ErtheRun a gnome app, like gedit05:34
ErtheThen do file -> open05:34
ErtheThat file selector is part of GNOME05:34
poyntzErthe: i got rid of most of them :/05:34
ErtheAnd it's HORRIBLE05:34
poyntzErthe: i figured no point keeping them, if i'm using the kde equivalents05:34
=== core is now known as Guest8974
poyntzErthe: what's horrible about it tho?05:34
ErtheThe only GTK apps I use are GIMP, Firefox and Eclipse (and that's GTK through SWT)05:34
poyntzErthe: to me its the same05:34
ErtheNo, no no no05:35
ErtheThey're really not the same.  :D05:35
poyntzErthe: apart from that widgit thing you mentioned. but to me it doesn't make a difference if it's on the panel or on the desktop, or on my dock05:35
poyntzand I had the same dock on gnome :P05:36
poyntzi'd say some key pointers are dolphin, over nautilus (single click is way better than double click)05:36
poyntzkonqueror is cool, and sometimes a good substitute for firefox05:37
poyntzamarok is awesome05:37
poyntzand the desktop looks nice05:37
poyntzbut apart from that i don't see the big difference05:37
ErtheYou can configure your mouse settings to be single or double click across the board.05:37
Erthefyi05:37
poyntzsynaptic, and kpackagekit are the same imho05:37
poyntzErthe: oh05:38
poyntzErthe: nice05:38
poyntzErthe: i'm pretty new to kde, so there's probably a lot i haven't discovered yet05:38
poyntzps, i hate dragon player05:38
poyntz<- spent so long trying to get the thing to work05:38
ErtheIntegration between everything in KDE is cleaner than GNOME.05:38
poyntz- and the fact there's no output when you run it in konsole doesn't help05:39
poyntzErthe: please give an example05:39
ErtheDnD support has always been better in KDE, I find.05:39
poyntz!DnD05:39
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about DnD05:39
ErtheIO slaves make my life very very happy.05:39
poyntz!info DnD05:39
ErtheDrag and Drop05:39
poyntzah k05:40
ubottuPackage DnD does not exist in karmic05:40
Erthehaha05:40
poyntzErthe: it hasn't for me. I can't drag and drop properly in KDE, it won't let me05:40
ErtheWhat version of KDE are you using?05:40
poyntzErthe: the latest05:40
poyntzErthe: 4.3.205:40
poyntzErthe: more specifically, the trash can doesn't do its job properly05:40
poyntzErthe: I can't DnD things into the bin05:41
ErtheThat's possibly a bug.05:41
ErtheWorks fine on this end.05:41
poyntzErthe: yeh, it's crap05:41
poyntzErthe: DnD is one of my fav features of the desktop :P05:41
Scuniziwhat's DnD?05:41
poyntzErthe: it mainly only affects cairo tho05:41
poyntzkde compatibility isn't built into cairo like gnome compatibility is05:42
ErtheThe funny thing is, I've become so used to doing things the way I do them now with KDE 4 that I've kind of forgetten why I liked having a desktop.05:42
poyntzyeh. it's no bigger. it looks cleaner without one05:42
poyntz*biggy05:42
poyntzmy desktop is untidy anyhow05:42
ErtheYou can still have a desktop folder display, there's a plasmoid for it.05:43
poyntzyeh, i kno. like i said, it was lagging my comp05:43
ErtheDo you have a 3D video card?05:43
poyntzi've been forced to use kde like gnome, because my comp isn't built for it's default features05:43
ErtheAh, rgr05:43
poyntzErthe: I have an nVidia GeForce Go 740005:44
ErtheRAM?05:44
poyntzErthe: but it's old school. good for games and such05:44
poyntzmy comp is 4 years old05:44
poyntzand it's a laptop05:44
poyntzit worked perfectly on gnome and xfce05:44
poyntzbest on xfce05:44
poyntzthat's why i'm dualbooting with DreamLinux05:44
poyntzfor RAM, I have no idea05:45
poyntzdon't know how to check either05:45
poyntzbut still, I just disable a few features and kde works fine05:45
Erthecat /proc/meminfo05:45
ErtheSometimes I think I have too many effects enabled.05:45
ErtheMy desktop tends to be quite animated.05:45
ErtheBut...05:46
poyntzlol05:46
ErtheMy box handles it very smoothly.05:46
poyntzyeh i still have effects05:46
poyntzdon't get me wrong05:46
poyntzthey're just similar to the gnome effects I had enabled05:46
poyntzlike wobbly windows, minimize, alt+tab, etc.05:46
ErtheMove your cursor to the top left corner of the screen and hold it there, I think present windows is on by default at that screen edge.05:46
ErtheTry it, it's fun  :D05:46
poyntzand I changed the splash screen to kubuntuVisual because it's simpler05:46
poyntzErthe: yeh, cool feature!05:47
poyntzErthe: that's a nice bonus of kde05:47
ErtheThat and web shortcuts  :D05:47
ErtheHit Alt-F2 and type gg:KDE05:47
ErtheHit enter.05:47
poyntzErthe: if you're referring to the widgets, again, they're crap for me because they're slow05:47
ErtheNo no.05:48
poyntzErthe: neat, didn't kno about that05:48
ErtheWeb shortcuts are a way to query searchable websites or online databases without very much typing.05:48
Erthe:D05:48
RoastedTiresXErthe!05:48
Erthewp: is Wikipedia05:48
ErtheRoasted, what's up man?05:48
RoastedTiresXnot a lot dood05:48
poyntzey Erthe no idea which bit of the meminfo is the bit about ram. can I grep anything?05:48
RoastedTiresXstill tinkering in KDE land05:48
ErtheFirst line poyntz, MemTotal05:49
ErtheThat's RAM + Swap05:49
poyntzErthe: 1025052 kB05:49
ErtheOr, maybe total physical05:49
ErtheNow that I look at it.05:49
ErtheSo you have a GB of RAM05:49
ErtheRoastedTiresX: Ya, that happens for a while  :D05:50
poyntzErthe: that's crap i take it? :P05:50
ErtheNot really.05:50
RoastedTiresXErthe - I'd like to pick your brain for a minute when ya get the chance (if you dont mind)05:50
ErtheIt's limiting in certain ways obviously, but it's not crap.05:50
ErtheRoastedTiresX: Sure, I'm up for another 15 min.  :D05:50
poyntzErthe: it's crap when i try to have widgits running05:51
poyntzErthe: and by minimal effects, for example, there's two alt-tabs effects. the default makes big windows be swapped on alt+tab, the other has a small little window open which switches apps which is a lot faster05:51
dillonomg i hate tabbed browsing05:52
poyntzi swapped to the second05:52
RoastedTiresXyou do?05:52
dilloni wish it was never invented05:52
RoastedTiresXdillon - Id be lost without tabbed browsing :(05:52
poyntzdillon: do you have a dock?05:52
ErtheI love tabbed browsing with Konq05:52
dillonlol sometimes i just have so many open!05:52
RoastedTiresXlmao05:52
RoastedTiresXit happens man!05:52
* poyntz prefers selection off a doc than tabs05:52
poyntzclicking crap is so cool!05:53
dillonhaha not a big fan of docks to get into that discussion lol05:53
poyntzgah, noone here is a dock person :/05:53
ErtheIf I wanted to have the features of OS X, I'd buy a mac05:53
poyntzreally?05:53
poyntzyou'd pay all that, just to have those features?05:54
poyntzand who says i want the features of a mac? all I want's the dock :P05:54
poyntzwindows 7 has a dock now as well :P05:54
poyntz(they probably don't call it that but it is)05:54
poyntzit docks applications, which makes it a dock05:55
dillonhaha im actually thinking about trying out a dock now05:55
poyntz!cairo-dock | dillon05:55
ubottudillon: cairo-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.cairo-dock.org05:55
poyntzdillon: don't use awn, unless you've got an ultra fast cpu05:55
poyntz..and ram to boot05:55
dillonwhats a good one to use05:56
dillonanything native to KDE?05:56
poyntzawn's a resource hog05:56
poyntzdillon: not that i kno of05:56
poyntzdillon: but cairo-dock is my favourite dock. i've tried three: awn, wbar and cairo05:56
poyntzwbar is crap05:56
poyntzwbar isn't really a dock either...05:57
poyntzit's just called a dock05:57
poyntzit's more of a launcher05:57
dillonhmmmmm...someone should make a dock plasmoid05:57
dilloni'd use it05:57
dillonlol05:57
dillonimposter!05:57
dillonim about to play around with some plasmoids and see if i can't get some sort of pseudo-dock-ish thing going05:58
poyntzif you were going to install wbar, you'd just use kde panel to launch your apps05:58
poyntzdocks are good because they dock applications05:58
dillonoh i see05:58
poyntz(and they look snazzy)05:58
dilloni was actually thinking about this earlier today05:59
poyntzbut cairo is sexy, because if you have mutliple windows open, etc, things pop up that let you choose between them etc. it's hard to explain...05:59
poyntzit's just sexy05:59
poyntzyou'd have to try it out to know what i'm talking about05:59
dillonwell sort of, i was thinking about emulating the windows 7 panel/dock, but, no dock in KDE lol05:59
poyntzdillon: cairo is alot like the windows 7 dock, but it looks like a mac dock06:00
poyntzdillon: it acts more like the windows 7 dock tho06:00
poyntzdillon: imho the windows 7 dock is more functional that the mac dock but the mac one looks sexier - and cairo has the benefits of both06:01
poyntzdillon: but you can customize it to look like your windows 7 dock if you like. it's very customizable06:01
dillonyou sound like your'e selling me a dock :P06:01
poyntzhaha06:01
poyntzi just love it06:01
poyntzi was on awn for a while, thinking god i wish they fixed this and fixed that. then i found cairo-dock which did it for me06:02
dillonhmmm. i just found kooldock in the repos06:02
dillon!kooldock06:02
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about kooldock06:02
dillonlies!06:03
poyntzdillon: Alt+F2, gg:linux best docks or something06:03
poyntzcairo-dock and awn will be at the top06:03
poyntzpersonal preference which you'd like better06:03
dillonhave you seen kooldock?06:03
poyntznope06:04
dilloncheck it out its native to kde06:04
dillonive never seen it before either so i dunno if its any good06:04
dillonseems to be a remnant of kde 3....06:05
poyntzyuk06:06
poyntzit looks rank06:06
poyntzhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlExu8Za0Vs06:06
poyntzreminds me of wbar06:06
dillonhaha06:06
poyntzand by the video, i'm guessing it's not a dock but a program launcher06:07
poyntzbetter to stick with kde panel :P06:07
poyntzthat's just judging by the clip tho06:07
poyntzactually i take that back06:07
poyntzit's definitely a dock06:07
poyntzit just looks crap06:07
poyntz(in the vid at least)06:08
dillonok enlighten me on the difference between the two if you will06:08
dillondock and program launcher that is06:08
dillonoh ok06:08
* poyntz should do a youtube video convering all the features of cairo, but it will take too long!!!06:08
poyntzhonestly, i'd give a few a shot06:09
poyntzi'm not going to fiddle around installing new docks when i'm happy as is, unless something comes out which is actually better than cairo-dock and comes out for kde06:09
dillonyeah don't blame you06:09
poyntz(but i'm guessing that a kde version of cairo will come out before that happens :P)06:10
poyntzso i'll prob never end up switching from cairo06:10
dillonif i was a coder id make a nice kde dock06:10
dillonsomeone should06:10
dillonit seems a pretty big feature06:10
poyntzjust picture this, very customizable... you can virtually make it look however you want it to look, and it practically does everything you want it to, and if it doesn't there'll be plugins etc you can add to it to make it do what you want it to06:11
poyntzif they do that for another dock they're doing well06:11
poyntzthe only criticism i have of it since moving to kde is that it's not fantastically kde compatible06:11
poyntzit worked better in gnome06:11
poyntzbut most of it's features still work brilliantly06:12

Xand3rwhat could be the problem?13:50
Xand3ryesterday everything worked fine13:50
BluesKajdid you update since ?13:50
flying-sheepcould somebody please confirm bug 188764 or bug 200259?13:51
BluesKajXand3r, I use vlc for all media anyway13:51
skramer_hi, I seem to have problems using my webcam with kopete 0.80.213:51
Xand3rBluesKaj: i had no sound befor and after the update this morning13:51
skramer_does anybody know which protocols support webcam in kopete13:51
skramer_and point me the right direction how to get it to work, please?13:52
BluesKajflying-sheep, this is not the pace to confirm bugs ..try launchpad13:52
Xand3rBluesKaj: it sems that no kde app could play mp3 but libxine1-ffmpeg is installed13:52
BluesKajXand3r, pulseaudio ?13:53
Xand3rwhat is with that?13:53
flying-sheepthe bug is old and nobody confirmed it, so i thought if somebody who is around and has the rights to do it could do it13:53
Xand3rBluesKaj: it is installed, shuld i remove it?13:53
BluesKajXand3r,have you checked pulseaudio/13:54
MamarokXand3r: you should not use Pulseaudio with KDE, no13:54
Xand3rok thx Mamarok13:54
BluesKajMamarok, it works with more onboard cards it seems , the pci cards don't work well with PA13:54
BluesKajpulseaudio tries to replace detected kernel modules13:55
Xand3rbut why pulse is preinstalled if it dont works?13:55
oversizehi, trying to update to karmic since a few days. but it always fails, showing me this: http://dpaste.com/124946/  what could i do or what am i doing wrong? I run kubuntu 9.04 and use the updatenotifier part that comes with kde.   almost all other files are downloaded successfully, said the updater.13:56
BluesKajand creates a mess13:56
macoi dont think i want to try to figure out what BluesKaj just said13:56
skramer_I know that in previous versions under KDE 3.5, you could use webcam for MSN13:56
skramer_but now under KDE 4, I don't find a way t make it work13:56
skramer_although the settings window shows the cam and I can see myself13:57
skramer_there is nothing like "send my webcam" or "receive webcam"13:57
BluesKajXand3r, it's political, there's a developer with an agenda who has the ear of some of the decision makers, and has convinced them to make PA the default soundserver13:57
maco*ahem*13:57
macognome upstream uses Pulse and shipping different default configs between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is a pain in the arse13:58
Xand3rBluesKaj: thats grate -.-13:58
macoBluesKaj: watch it, youre talking about my roommate13:58
macoyou're also talking out your rear13:58
macoit replaces detected kernel modules? what?13:58
MamarokXand3r: it's not preinstalled in Kubuntu at all,  but maybe some metapackage dragged it in13:58
Xand3rMamarok: thats mad^^13:59
MamarokXand3r: well, you can remove it easily: sudp apt-get purge pluseaudio*, then remove the $HOME/.kde/sahre/config/phonondevicesrc file13:59
Mamarokalso remove any .alsaconf or asound.conf in your home folder, then restart KDE14:00
BluesKajmaco , I don't apreciate your choice of wors , you can disagree all you want ..I'm speaking from observation and experience ..if you don't like what I say insults aren't going to convince me14:00
MamarokPhonon should then do a basic Alsa configuration14:00
macoBluesKaj: you're lying though14:00
macoBluesKaj: maybe if you started telling the truth...14:00
MamarokBluesKaj, maco: that does not belong here, please take that to PM or to -devel14:00
macoBluesKaj: pulseaudio does not replace kernel modules. alsa is still there, always, because pulseaudio is not a driver. it is JUST a sound server. it lives on top of alsa14:01
BluesKajmaco, right and most setups don't need another soundserver , alsa works just fine by itself14:02
Xand3rMamarok: ok i'll try it, if something broken you have to repair it^^14:02
noaXesshave a fresh installed karmic.. and thunderbird 2.. now in the attachment properties i can't handle attachment actions.. i know, i need a additional package.. but not which one :)14:02

Luggageshort question about kubuntu/linux, I know my windows will just get a seizure if I try to boot it after exchanging motherboards, will kubuntu be able to adapt to such a drastic change or is a fresh install also the better option for linux after new motherboard&cpu?14:04
BluesKajno pms , not interested14:04
MamarokLuggage: you will have to reinstall too, most likely, since the existing installation has the kernel adapted to your old Hardware14:05
noaXessfound it: thunderbird-gnome-support14:05
Luggageokay thanks Mamarok, good to know before I start doing anything :)14:05
Mamarokbut I guess using a Live CD and use the repair mode should be enough, since it's just about loading the correct kernel modules14:06
MamarokLuggage: ^^14:06

Luggagewell I'll do a fresh install, I got 9.04 running but have the iso for 9.10 here, just didn feel like upgrading, dont 'fix' it if it isn broken you know, does everything I want and fine .14:07

Benkinoobyhi, how can i see wich application is using wich sound server (pulseaudio, alsa,....). my problem is taht sounds works fine and vlc works to... but sometimes it doesnt work at all. then i log out and login again... it works. amarok always works, even if vlc doesnt work14:43
tolstoisalut all14:46
BluesKajBenkinooby, try your sound without pulseaudio14:51
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: if i will do so, i will not be able have more than one "soudn source"14:52
BluesKajBenkinooby, are you mixing various sounds into a file ?14:54
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: nope, but i often use skype and amarok or vlc in the same time14:55
BluesKajok ,then you're stuck with pulseaudio14:55
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: i did some tests, but my resuts are not constant14:55
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: right now, i can use amarok and skype int he same time perfeclty14:56
Benkinoobyperfectly14:56
BluesKajskype uses PA as it's default soundserver14:56
Benkinoobyso amarok works, skype too but now vlc is worring me... it sounds like a noob dj is "scrathing" on my songs :/14:57
Benkinoobylittle bit like lag :P14:57
Benkinoobysometimes youtube kills my sound totally14:57
Benkinoobyso i was wondering, if it is the sound server, and why not to use alsa sound server14:58
Benkinoobybut i know messing with sound in linux is always pain, so i wanted to look for experience & advice... a allrdy went trough all the ubuntu-forum articles about sound, soundsystems, sound servers to know, that there are many factors.14:59
Benkinoobywhat keeps me thinking is, that i don'thave a "contant" problem...15:00
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: what sound server do you use?15:00
Benkinoobythe default pa15:01
Benkinooby?15:01
^kenhoob-it1system monitor shows cpu = -20% !!! why?15:03
BluesKajBenkinooby, alsa ..but I was corrected by maco ..said it's not a soundserver , but it works on my setup where pulseaudio doesn't15:03
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: afaik alsa is a sound system and also alsa is a sound server15:05
Benkinooby(got it from german ubuntu forum http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Soundsystem )15:06
BluesKajwell , you know how some ppl are , make one little mistake in wording and you are called names;015:06
Benkinoobyso alsa means both, the driver and the sound server15:06
BluesKajBenkinooby, dunno for sure, but if it plays the role of a soundserver then I would say it is one15:09
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: for me seems to be a problem of the soundserver, beacause some apps don't work, while others do15:10
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: so you are able to run two sound apps. in the same time?15:10
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: hmmm, i think i got it... not usre15:12
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: due to the fact, that vlc is giving 70% of all my sound problems i looked at vlc again15:12
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: some where hidden in the settings of vlc i can set the out put mode15:13
Benkinoobyit was set to ALSA... i set it to default... no works nice :)15:13
Benkinoobyno = now15:13
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: F*ck15:14
macoBenkinooby: no swearing15:14
Benkinoobydoesn't work :/15:14
Benkinoobymaco: sry15:14
BluesKajBenkinooby, yes i can , asamof if you check the alsa wiki , you'll see this line "handling of multiple sound devices in a system"15:16
Benkinoobycahnged it back to alsa (for in vlc preferences) works again15:16
Benkinoobynow vlc is the only thing that works15:18
Benkinooby:/15:18
Benkinoobyi think i'll go for alsa as soundserver15:18
Benkinoobyhope skye will deal with it15:18
BluesKajskype requires PA I think15:19
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: it looks for it, but if there is no pa it will go alsa15:21
Benkinooby(from ubuntu forum)15:21
BluesKajBenkinooby, is there a way to use skype without PA ?15:21
utkathey all15:22
Benkinoobyi am quoting form the ubuntu forum (translating from german to eglish for you):  "in case pa is not installed, skype will use alsa directly"15:22
BluesKaji don't use skype personally ...my kids do but if they want to talk , they can call me on the phone :)15:22
BluesKajBenkinooby, really , that's encouraging15:23
BenkinoobyBluesKaj: i also use skype to call my parents :P15:23
utkati use skype to call my home15:24

Benkinoobyi read that things like this happen if there is too much load....16:15

BenkinoobyBluesKaj: i still afraid to change to alsa... too many things are working :/16:17
BluesKajwell, it's not written in stone , if you try your sound setup without PA and you hasve problems , it's not as if you can't reinstall it16:18
BluesKajI'm not against PA per se , it's just too early in the it's dev to make a the default sound layer/server16:19

=== ubuntu_ is now known as konbon
konbonhello :)16:48
konbonQucik question, if you dont mind. Im on the Kubuntu Jaunty release and i want to Delete a ext4 partitioned hard drive that i have connected. Do you know how i can do this with this live cd ?16:49
tsimpsonkonbon: you just reformat16:50
tsimpsonnoaXess: I can't see libXm.so.4 in any ubuntu release16:51
konbonwhen i attempt to boot from this cd to install, instead of live, it locks up during the "scanning partitions" part16:51
noaXesstsimpson: i see.. need to symlink to the .3 version16:51
konbonis there something else besides Gparted?16:53
macoim not sure qparted still exists16:53
konbonbecause it wont mount this ext4 hdd as well, on the live cd16:53
macoi can tell you how to use fdisk16:53
konbonit just gives an error16:53
tsimpsonnoaXess: linking to libXm.so.3 probably will not work16:53
konbonthat would be great16:53
macofrom the command line16:53
konbonplease do16:53
konboni would appreciate it :)16:53
macook, so you want to delete the partition? or reformat it?16:53
konbonyes16:54
macowhich one?16:54
macodelete?16:54
tsimpsonnoaXess: try it and see, but it may just crash16:54
konbonthe only hdd in this system, not sure where it is16:54
konbonhow can i check for the name of it ?16:54
geniikonbon: sudo fdisk -l16:54
konbonok16:54
macoi meant "delete or reformat? which of these options are you looking for?"16:55
macoyou can format an existing partition as a different filesystem (in which case mkfs is what you need) or delete a partition (in which case, fdisk)16:55
konbonjust delete16:55
macook16:55
konboni assume the live cd can format to the proper ext3 on install16:56
macoyes16:56
konbongood16:56
macook so if you only have one hard drive, then "sudo fdisk /dev/sda"16:56
konbonok, so it looks ike its sda116:56
konbonfrom the blocks size16:56
macook16:56
macotype "d" and hit enter16:56
macoand it should ask for the partition number. you said sda1, so put 116:56
konboni assume block size would be the it says "bash: d: command not found"16:56
konbonoops, 2 sentences in one, sorry :P16:57
konbonit says "bash: d: command not found"16:57
macowait did you do "sudo fdisk /dev/sda"?16:57
konbondoing16:57
macothat should bring you to an fdisk prompt16:57
macothats where you type "d"16:57
konbonok now its asking for the partition number16:58
macoyou said sda1, so thatd be 116:58
konbonok16:58
konbonnow its asking for the command16:58
maconow if you type "p" it should show the new state of the drive16:59
konbonAh i see16:59
konbonnow it only shows 2 and 316:59
konbonwell, sda2 and sda516:59
macook good17:00
konbonwhich, i assume, are the live cd stuff17:00
macotheyre other partitions on your hard disk17:00
konbonOh, should i be deleting them as well?17:00
macodo you want to clear off the whole drive?17:01
konbonyes17:01
macok then yes17:01
konbonsame process right ?17:01
macoyes17:01
konbonnice17:01

BluesKajkonbon, cool :)17:09
konbonOne last question, is it possible to install FluxBox but still keep KDE 4 and switch from one another?17:09
BluesKajkonbon, well, whynot lots of ppl switch between gnome and kde at login so i don't see why not17:10
BluesKajnever heard of that combo of desktops before but it should work17:11

konbonand in Dolphin , it still shows the hdd as a Ext417:15
BluesKajI've seen this before , but I think if you use the GParted-live-cd rather than the kubuntu partitioner , then you may have more options to fix the prob17:17
konboni dont think theres i way i can download and burn it with this live cd17:17

binarylookssharpen047: updates ? to the iphone story?20:30
sharpen047binarylooks, yes :D20:31
binarylooksfollow the blog i gave u. these are the guys doing the sync development20:31
binarylooksRoasted: in the system try? lower right.20:33
ShiznitzRoasted: If Kubuntu detects the wireless adapter automatically (it should), then there should be an icon to connect to the wireless networks in range.20:33
Roastedbinary - I see nothing there...20:34
Roastedshiznitz - Ubuntu 9.04 works fine, so I expected it to work in KDE too with 9.0420:34
RoastedI just dont see any icon or any widget that has ANYTHING to do with network connectivity20:34
Roastedand now that I restarted after installing the KDE desktop on Ubuntu 9.04, it wont power up20:35
Roastedit hangs20:35
Roastedhas ANYBODY had luck installing KDE on Ubuntu? Every -single- time has failed for me. I've done it in about 6 systems with the PPA recommended on the forums.20:35
adaptrRoasted: I suggest you start with Kubuntu instead20:36
doleybRoasted: look carefully at the icons in the lower right, and if you don't see it then right click and Add Widgets and pick Network Manager...20:36
Roastedadaptr - well this is my work laptop... I was running ubuntu on it and wanted to try KDE.20:36
adaptrRoasted: so install Kubuntu20:36
Roasteddoleyb - No, there's no icon in the system tray. And no, there's no Network Manager available in the add widgets menu.20:36
Roastedadaptr - I may, this is just something I tried here real quick.20:37
doleybRoasted: then you don't have all of kde installed.. I don't know what packages you need.20:37
Roastedadaptr - I use FOG - open soruce linux based imaging. I have about 200gb worth of images on this laptop and I was hoping to get away with getting KDE installed on top of my existing Ubuntu install.20:37
adaptrapt-get install kde-desktop20:37
RoastedNow it hangs on starting NFS demon every single time I boot up.20:37
Roasteddjfa;lsdf20:37
adaptrRoasted: since your data will of coursebe on a different partition, you can easily replace the system20:38
Roastedadaptr - Im not on a split partition system.20:38
RoastedI can move my data, I have a 1tb drive for backup purposes. I was just trying to do it the quick and dirty way :P20:38
adaptra little late to regret that now20:38
Roastedadaptr - even still, I followed official directions to install KDE on Ubuntu. I'm a little disappointed this keeps failing.20:39
adaptrapt-get install kde-desktop20:39
adaptror kubuntu-desktop, whatever20:39
RoastedI can't even get in, man20:39

Roastedyeah I guess so20:40
Roastedhow do I take out KDE via livecd though?20:40
adaptror just disable that20:40
RoastedOMG OMG OMG IT BOOTED20:40
adaptrit does not "hang when booting", as that has a specific meaning20:40
adaptryes, you should have waited20:40
adaptr(or, optionally, RTFM)20:40
RoastedRTFM from what20:40
adaptrNFS ?20:41
RoastedI did RTFM20:41
RoastedI use this laptop for imaging. IT fires out images via NFS.20:41
RoastedNever had a problem before I installed KDE. :P20:41
adaptrif you're sharing that 200GB, it may take a while to start up20:41
Roastedit's not shared20:41
Roastedit's a regular laptop20:41
RoastedI just plug into the network and PXE boot the clients from there. That's all I do. I just have DHCP services on it to grab the PXE clients. Other than that it's a basic Ubuntu laptop.20:41
adaptrI have no idea how this relates to not being able to boot20:42
Roastedwell, I don't either, but you mentioned RTFM for NFS20:42
Roastedjust stating what it's here for20:42
Roastedall I know is I installed KDE - after that, it took my laptop 10 minutes to fire up.20:43
RoastedIs installing KDE on an Ubuntu system thought low of?20:43
RoastedLike do most hardcore KDE fans suggest installing Kubuntu for KDE? I wasn't sure if it was treated like upgrading, I know on the forums people are saying don't upgrade - do a fresh install.20:44
binarylooksRoasted: ? Of course not20:44
Roastedbinarylooks - I'm just confused over why I have so much trouble getting KDE to work on Ubuntu. I run Kubuntu at home and I fricken love it.20:44
RoastedBut that's a native Kubuntu install, not KDE on Ubuntu like I did here with my work laptop.20:44
binarylooksu did an install of kubuntu-desktop?20:45
Roastedbinarylooks - No. I used the PPA recommended on ubuntuforums so I could get the latest KDE version available for Jaunty 9.04.20:45
RoastedIts hanging on NFS again when booting. What in the world could have changed to make NFS lag to fire up when booting?20:46
binarylookshmmm, the usualy way should not be using kubuntu-desktop, and later the kubuntu-ppa repos20:46
RoastedI didn't install Kubuntu desktop.20:46
binarylooks*should be20:46
binarylooksforget the not :-)20:46
Roastedoh wait.. lol?20:46
Roastedso I DID screw up20:46
Roastedglad the manual said to install kubuntu-desktop first, so much for effing reading it :P20:46
binarylookshmmmm, i think ur problem might still be something else, let me read what u wrote before...20:47
Roastedall I did was install the kubuntu 4.3.1 PPA for jaunty 9.04. After that when I booted up, I had KDE as an option. GReat. So I go in to get started with it and I have no wifi. No network manager exists. Period. It just does.. not... exist. So I reboot and now NFS gives me the finger. Again - only thing I changed was installing the KDE PPA 4.3.120:48
binarylookssorry, need to leave. c u20:49
Roastedadaptr - So is it a good practice to have kubuntu-desktop installed first, then add the PPA and update/upgrade to the latest KDE version that way?20:52
sharpen047robin0800, hey still there?20:53
adaptrRoasted: I don't know about good practice. you say installing kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu did not work. I advised you to start with a bare Kubuntu instead.20:53
robin0800sharpen047: yes20:54
sharpen047robin0800, songbird wont install because gstreamer plugins couldnt load( i dont think the right gstreamer is installed) which sshould i install?20:55
Roastedadaptr - No no, it's not that "Kubuntu-Desktop" did not work - I did not install it at all from the repos because I wanted the latest absolute version. I just assumed the PPA would give me what I need.20:55
BluesKajinteresting, just dropped to a tty and installed gnome-desktop-environment, now I can choose which DE at the login . gnome seems less cartooney than previous releases20:55
adaptrRoasted: if you had reason to do that, then you probably know more about it than me20:56
RoastedThen I started to wonder if I needed Kubuntu-Desktop installed first, then the PPA would just update it to the latest version.20:56
robin0800sharpen047: read the FAQ's20:56
adaptrPPA's ? why would you need PPA's for software that is in the repos20:56
BluesKajsome ppl do't have all the repos enabled20:57
RoastedPPA = latest version20:57
Roastedrepos = old20:57
robin0800sharpen047: there is no problem in ubuntu karmic20:57
BluesKajRoasted, only in alpha /beta20:57
adaptrRoasted: where did you ever state this as a requirement ?20:57
sharpen047robin0800, im trying to install via sh file, it fails20:58
Roastedadaptr - I said about 4 times I wanted the absolute latest version of KDE possible. The PPA gave me that. That's what the documentation (aka manual) said to do.20:58
RoastedMy only question was, was I to have Kubuntu-Desktop installed prior to the PPA, or was the PPA supposed to take care of -everything- anyway.20:58
adaptrdidn't see any of that20:58
adaptryou said repeatedly that installing KDE didn't work, without any details about how20:59
RoastedI feel like I explained my story about 4 times. But nonetheless - right there it is again. That's what I did.20:59
robin0800sharpen047: going now20:59
sharpen047robin0800, the version of gstreamer in karmic is "too new" for the version that songbird uses, they are updating this in songbird 1.2 (current is 1.1.2)20:59
BluesKajRoasted, the latest desktop is always in the repos after the official release20:59
Roastedblueskaj - so with me being on Jaunty (not the latest release) but wanting the latest KDE - it'd be in the repos?21:00
BluesKajkde latest stable is 4.3.321:00
Roastedcause in the repos Kubuntu-Desktop is listed as 1.2. It can't be the version?21:01
Roastedblueskaj - I know, but are you aware of what I'm doing? I'm not sure we're on the same page. I have Ubuntu and I'm trying to dump KDE on top of it as an option.21:01
AhoxRoasted,  this is the latest kubuntu-desktop, containing KDE 4.3.?21:01
Ahox(I think 4.3.2)21:02
BluesKajkde and kubuntu-desktop are different,the desktop is only part of kde21:02
AhoxRoasted,  just install kubuntu-desktop 1.2 and you will be fine21:02
BluesKajAhox, 4.3.321:02
Roastedblueskaj - So more or less, if I want "KDE" I need to stop messing with patching it on top of Ubuntu?21:02
Roastedblueskaj - 4.3.3 won't be backported to jaunty, only 4.3.221:02
BluesKajRoasted, you got it21:02
Roastedand I'm on jaunty21:02
Roastedeven still 4.3.2 is fine, I just want to grab the latest I can21:03
BluesKajwell, then install 4.3.3 , reported to run fine on juanty21:03
Roastedgah - still hanging on NFS daemon21:04
BluesKajanyway bbl , gonna install gnome beside kde on my desktop pc21:04
Roastedlol?21:04
garrettkajmowiczI just upgraded to Kubuntu 9.10 and now I'm limited to 800x600 display.  Graphics is Intel 945G.  Display is Sony LCD which does at least 1280x1024.  I've tried xrandr.  I've tried adding Display sections to xorg.conf.  Where do I go from here?21:08
ShiznitzDoes 9.10 support WPA Passkeys?21:12
geniigarrettkajmowicz: I might suggest: echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main universe multiverse restricted" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4F191A5A8844C542 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   This installs the PPA where the latest video drivers for (K)ubuntu are being made. A reboot after would be good so the new kernel modules get loaded21:13
genii properly21:13
garrettkajmowiczgenii:  Upgrade in progress.  Though 'crack pushers' for a key name makes me nervous....21:17
garrettkajmowiczRebooting now.  Let's see what breaks ...21:18
* genii sips and waits21:18
garrettkgenii:  Well, I gave that a shot and still no luck.21:25
garrettkget-edid is now returning more data, but still nothing useful.21:26
garrettkWhat should I try next?21:27
KalmairnGood Afternoon.  I'm trying to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, getting an error message: Distribution upgrade process exited with code 255.21:27
geniigarrettk: You usually need to pass it thru the parse-edid like:  sudo get-edid | parse-edid             then it gives you some modeline stuff which can be inserted to an xorg.conf stanza set21:27
KalmairnThis is through kpackagekit / Software Management21:28
gizShiznitz:Yeah, it worked out of the box for me.21:28
KalmairnI have two systems with the same problem.21:28
garrettkgenii:  I still get 'The EDID data should not be trusted as the VBE call failed', but now with a binary blob at the end!   :-)  Of course, prase-edid still isn't able to do anything for me.21:29
geniigarrettk: Weird. Haven't seen that yet.21:30
Shiznitzgiz: I'm having trouble with my Linksys WMP600N and a WPA passkey network.. it sees the network but tries to connect for about 90 seconds then brings up a window to have me enter the information for the network again21:31

Bios_compiling problem: http://pastebin.com/m3af2b13321:32
geniiBios_: Might want to enquire in #kubuntu-devel (although they are not strictly a support channel there, someone may be inclined to assist)21:39
Bios_nvm google helped me out : D21:40
gizShiznitz: silly but I had the problem too and come find out my laptop was running b and my router was set for g only21:40
garrettkgenii:  Any thoughts as to where I should go from here?  My machine at work is nearly unusable at 800x600.21:41
geniigarrettk: What I'd likely do in this situation is go to the manufacturer's site and check the display specs of your monitor, then write a modeline entry based on that for your xorg.conf21:43
syonhi folks21:43
gizhi syon21:44
syoni just had a very odd sensation21:44
syonopened firefox on my kubuntu and was struck by the ugly brown of the ubuntu startpage21:44
garrettkThis was working in 9.04.  Modelines are so ... 1990s.  Okay.  I'll see what I can whip up..21:44
syonwe do not have a similar kubuntu-themed page, have we?21:45
syoni am referring to http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/21:45
Shiznitzgiz: The WMP600N is an N-Band adapater, the router is running N as well (mixed on its firmware).. do you know how to switch modes for the adapter?21:45
syonthe obvious s/ub/kub/ doesn't help21:46
syonas expected ;-)21:47
gizmake your own Syon and submit it ;-)21:47
goophwhat do you think the best version of kubuntu is for wireless functionability?21:48
goophi have 9.1 now but  I can't get wireless to work for the life of me.21:48
syongiz: mhmh, I had feared that answer ;-) i am more of a hardware / low-level SW guy21:48
goophand I'd prefer KDE over gnome.21:48
syongooph: the knetworkmanager in 9.10 seems to work much nicer than in previous versions21:49
syonhowever, it might still be lacking to the GTK networkmanager21:49
syonyou can try to use that, though.21:49
=== lalas is now known as lalas_
syonof course I am just looking into the glass sphere. this would truly depend on your actual issue21:50
lalas_help21:51
goophsyon: yeah, but I'm having trouble with it (knetworkmanager), can't seem to get it to work, the os seems to be seeing the interface and such, just can't get knetworkmanager to play along.21:52
lalas_hi could any one help me with GcStar21:53
goophsyon:  but i do appreciate the advice, I'll look into doing that.21:54
MoryddI'm getting frequent instances of a window popping up saying "/user/share/apport/apport-kde needs administrative privileges. Please enter your password."22:04
marianoBuenas tardes!22:25

sharpen047robin0800, what do you mean? it comes with kubuntu?23:14
robin0800sharpen047: you can just extract it and run it from the folder23:15

bobby_cpu stays pegged at 40%.23:46
bobby_eventually a week later it will get so unresponsive that it takes minutes to click on k menu select reboot.23:47
bobby_curious if it's a more kde thing or kubuntu thing....23:47
gegeee_hy all23:48
bobby_thinking of possibly xubuntu sometimes. but the newer version of xubuntu was even worse. it was unresponsive right after boot. probably due to the new driver for the graphics card on that machine.23:49
CorVertexI had this phenomenon with xubuntu , too, but on a 128M RAM and 300MHz machine ^^23:49
bobby_oh well. I can't use this machine as is.23:52
bobby_I don't want to move to ubuntu.23:52
