[01:07] does it have a minimal option yet or is it possible to select a folder of folders as input? === kebomix is now known as Guest12446 [01:08] iv installed gstreamer and when ni type gstreamer-propertys and go to video i get Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Cannot identify device '/dev/video0' [01:08] oh like selecting a entire directory instead of just a file? [01:08] I downgraded to the 0.8 cause I was missing all the features I liked in 1.0 and for a week now I'm getting a very hacked image when I open a video file. Sound is fine. I pause it once and the file will play fine afterwards, but the need of pausing it is annoying === Guest12446 is now known as kebomix1 [01:09] kreppnar: like selecting a directory with movies in subdirectories and I want the films in the subdirectories listed in the playlist [01:10] im trying to add things, but its not letting me add an entire directory [01:10] its letting me add files singley [01:10] and it wont let me drag a folder into the playlist [01:10] oh, maybe than it's not even possible to do that. they removed almost all features (or haven't added them back in. Doesn't matter how you see it). [01:11] which makes the new kaffeine completely uninteresting for me [01:11] every tried a different player? [01:12] yeah, still like the old kaffeine best [01:12] I tried smplayer and vlc and even totem, but always prefered kaffeine [01:12] cause i love VLC [01:12] hmm [01:13] what about gxine?

[01:17] If I wanted them on my harddrive I would have ripped them a long time ago === simon_ is now known as Guest45932 === Guest45932 is now known as guifdlp [01:49] hi all. I can't make my new kubuntu go online with a static ip. I followed advice I read about adding the details in etc/network/interfaces. is there anything else to try? [01:50] kubuntu's network interfaces are managed through NetworkManager, I'll think you'll be better off using the $ systemsettings [01:50] but i guess you've tried that already :/ [01:51] homer_simpson: yes i did try it. it lets me input the details, but i was not online. that's when i tried searching for info and found pages claiming NetworkManager can't handle static ips [01:53] In KDE's "Input Actions", what's the syntax to enter a "-" (hyphen) or "." (period) into an Action? [01:54] anyone having issues with games in fullscreen? [01:54] my mouse dissapears [01:54] and i cant do anything [01:54] but when i open the game console, my cursor comes back [01:54] could anyone help me? [02:00] procedure would be : clean /etc/network/interfaces - restart NM - check cables - kill NM daemon and remove NMdaemon startup script links in /etc/init.d - check input data (ip, gateway [status and connexion parameters]) - write proper /etc/network/interfaces - reboot (actually you could do without, but it's just worth doing it this way) [02:00] need help writing down the /etc/network/interfaces ? [02:01] also check firewall === jamie is now known as Guest17774 [02:04] homer_simpson: thanks, i will try that. is there a firewall running in kubuntu after install? [02:23] my default language on here is canadian english, is there any way to get it to USA [02:25] any1 here? === carlos is now known as Guest49887 [02:43] homer_simpson I deinstalled NetworkManager, not I get the error message: "siocaddrrt: no such process" and then "failed to bring up eth0 [02:44] ifconfig sows me the settings like I want them. I also compared them to the setup of the old install, they are the same [02:47] ok, appearently this error only shows when I put some gateway address. but without a gateway ip, there is also no internet connection [02:54] does anybody know why if i press enter/OK after inserting a password nothing happens? [02:56] it happens in Kdesudo, kwallet, kmail [02:56] but not when unlocking the screen [02:59] I have a question about how Apache PHP and MySQL can work in a folder of my choosing, I have it installed and working with anything in /var/www but there must be some search path I can set somewhere, perhaps in phpinfo - here is link to my blog post of this question http://wp.me/pBlI9-lB [03:00] i think that in the ini file [03:01] you should edit the field in which the server is going to look for files [03:01] i am having a problem with my fullscreen games. when i play a game in fullscreen my mouse cursor dissapears, and it re-appears when i drop down the console in game. what might be the problem? [03:02] running games like WoW in wine works ok, but i am only having problems with games that are Linux native [03:02] could you be more precise kreppnar [03:02] Doom 3 [03:03] Enemy Territory Quake Wars [03:03] when i start the game [03:03] hi. kind of a stupid question: the howto about binary drivers (for 8.10) says System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. Problem, there is no "Administration" in System. So any Idea what package has to be installed/reinstalled [03:03] i go into the menu, and my mouse cursor dissapears [03:03] ? [03:03] I am a 60 year old total beginner, so I really need some step by step instructions.... if possible [03:04] i'm sorry WilliamBuell i'm not that skilled in php, but as far as i can remember the file is well commented [03:04] i suggest to go to the wiki and see if there is some documentation about setting up a server [03:04] angelus85: i had no problems with my fullscreen games, but after a little while it just stopped working [03:05] since when? [03:05] ok, thanks, i did look in that php ini file... I guess I will look some more.... and I do google extensively, and post links that I find at my blog [03:05] after some update? [03:05] aye [03:05] had to of been, cause on a fresh install, it was working great [03:06] if i could find the answer in google, i wouldnt ask here. I try as much as I can to solve it on my own before i ask in irc [03:06] angelus85: i have even tried turning off composting for the pretty desktop effects, but that doesn't even work [03:07] did you install some kernel updates or video driver update? [03:07] angelus85: i have also even tried to use another desktop environment like blackbox or xfce4 [03:07] nah, i am using the standard base install drivers provided by ubuntu [03:08] is there a way while in a shell login, to execute games that require X? [03:09] i dont have compiz, or glx running, they dont ever seem to start. [03:10] no you need X for sure [03:11] which kind of graphic adapter do you have? [03:11] Nvidia geforce 7900 GTX PCI express 512mb [03:11] always never had a problem on other Distro's [03:12] shirotsume: you can install packages through kpackagekit [03:13] try to force the reinstall of the drivers [03:14] (last one was for kreppnar) [03:14] how would i got about doing that? [03:15] sudo apt-get install --reinstall [03:15] it should be nvidia-glx [03:15] but i'm not sure [03:15] i believe it i [03:15] s [03:16] says invalid operation [03:17] sudo aptitude search nvidia | grep ^i [03:18] you'll find the one(s) that you have already installed [03:18] you might also want to try [03:18] that hardware driver program that finds graphics drivers [03:18] sudo aptitude reinstall [03:18] it says i am using 185 version [03:19] it should be the latest one [03:19] you can also try other versions [03:19] ok sudo aptitude search nvidia | grep ^i didn't show anything [03:19] :O [03:21] it brought me back to the command [03:21] it's strange [03:21] anyway remove the "| grep ^i" [03:21] k [03:21] and look to the packages that have an i at the beginning [03:23] i see that nvidia-glx has a v in front of it? [03:23] is it the only package you see? [03:23] nah i see alot [03:24] hmpf, well i know how to install a package. my problem is actually, that i have no idea which one contains, or generates that menue point. [03:24] check those that have an I in front of that [03:24] shirotsume: i don't understand which is the problem, could you be more clear? [03:26] sure. i try to set up opengl support using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ; there it says to "Enable the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the hardware drivers menu (System->Administration->Hardware Drivers)," my problem is, that i actually don't have this :( === dawgy is now known as MrHappyGuy [03:28] i suppose they are ubuntu instructions [03:28] whilest you're using kubuntu [03:29] thats right. well, what would it be under the kmenue ? [03:29] ok angelus85: apparently disabling the graphics driver and adding it again, works [03:29] it's in the system section [03:30] thanks for all the help man [03:30] you're welcome man [03:30] i got my mouse back! [03:30] ;) [03:30] wooo! [03:30] take care [03:30] u too [03:30] shirotsume: did you find it? [03:30] well i checked that, but no "restricted drivers" neither "hardware drivers" [03:30] ok listen [03:30] open a konsole [03:31] i have hardware, but there is hal, bluetooth network manager.. [03:31] open [03:31] kdesudo jockey-kde [03:32] jockey-kde command not found .. [03:32] according to what you see anyway you should be in the control panel [03:32] thats it ? [03:33] but you're not supposed to look for it there [03:33] just open the menu [03:33] go to application tab [03:33] installing jockey-kde. i think that will do the trick [03:33] yes! [03:33] yup. got the hardware drivers. thanks a lot [03:34] anyway it's really strange since it comes as a default package with a fresh installation [03:34] i'm glad it work [03:34] s === yofel_ is now known as yofel [03:36] well, dunno what happened, but there must have been something happened, because yesterday i had a kde and today after switching the computer back on, it was gone, i only had a blank screen after login and i searched and looked an the i tried to reinstall kde. funny that, there was no kde left on my system, so i made an apt-get kde .. [04:59] someone come from brazil ? [05:31] HOLA [05:34] hello can anyone help me with amarok (I'm using gnome btw) it's not fetching lyrics! [05:51] <_nix_> Hello, anybody know how to disable or password protect single user mode in Karmic? === Kubuntiac is now known as MrBananas === MrBananas is now known as Bugsbane [06:26] hi folks. when i try to do searches in dolphin, i'm getting this error, "The process for the nepomuksearch protocol died unexpectedly" [06:26] can someone help me fix this? [06:27] Hi [06:28] hi [06:28] LachnessMonster: do you know anything about the "The process for the nepomuksearch protocol died unexpectedly" error? [06:29] poyntz: Do you have libjvm symlinked? [06:29] (a "dunno" shrug means no) [06:30] Bugsbane: symlinked to where? [06:30] Depends on what version of Java you're using and your architecture [06:30] Bugsbane: how can I find out? [06:31] Bugsbane: i'm on kde 4.3.2 if that helps [06:31] Hang on, I'll bring it up... [06:31] i installed the package kubuntu-desktop pretty recently [06:31] no sorry poyntz [06:31] so whatever came with it i should have [06:31] LachnessMonster: no worries [06:31] Yeah. ALL the KDE versions do this. (K)ubuntu' just needs to put a packaging fix in place :( [06:31] :/ [06:32] I didn't have libnepomuk2.2-cil installed [06:32] not sure if that had anything to do with it [06:32] http://digitizor.com/2009/10/14/how-to-start-nepomukstrigi-and-fix-the-strigi-service-failed-to-initialize-most-likely-due-to-an-installation-problem-problem-in-kubuntu-9-10kde4-3/ [06:32] ...nope [06:32] still getting the problem [06:32] Nah. It doesn't matter which KDE / Nepomuk you have [06:33] This happens on all of them until you symlink [06:33] trying the link now, thanks [06:33] np [06:34] You can just look in /usr/lib/jvm to see if you have sun-java in there [06:34] If i have kde installed and gnome ( gnome was first) [06:35] Can i use the update manager to update to 9.10 ? [06:35] Bugsbane: that tutorial solved it. thanks! didn't have to symlink anything [06:35] Eh?! Really? [06:36] LachnessMonster: you need to install kubuntu-desktop [06:36] LachnessMonster: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:36] Im running kde atm [06:36] once it's finished installing it will pop up with a window that asks if you want to use gdm or kdm [06:36] LachnessMonster: oh, :/ [06:37] LachnessMonster: then i can't help. sorry. until i do the same i'm no help there :/ [06:37] ty [06:37] LachnessMonster: Whats the problem? [06:37] LachnessMonster: actually [06:37] Can i upgrade to 9.10 with update manager [06:38] Ah, sorry, didn't see your post above... [06:38] LachnessMonster: have you tried doing it over KpackageKit? [06:38] if i have gnome and kde [06:38] LachnessMonster: i'd guess that it depends on whether your package manager is under gnome or kde [06:38] LachnessMonster: but i could be wrong [06:38] I'd guess that it would be best done from Ubuntu, and should update the Kubuntu packages [06:39] If it doesn't you can always just sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop after [06:39] (from Gnome) [06:40] So run ubuntu and go to 9.10 [06:40] Thanks [06:40] np [06:40] There is a *chance* of breakage, but it *should* be ok [06:40] ill back up my data then do it [06:40] very. good. plan! [06:41] Bugsbane: ok. just realised that only the error message in dolphin went away. The search yields no results. Going to do the rest of the tutorial now [06:41] I usually avoid upgrades altogether and just backup, reinstall and bring my data back. But thats me. :) [06:41] i have loads of programs thoe [06:42] dont wanna lose [06:42] poyntz: Yeah. As far as I can see, until Ubuntu updates this packaging issue, *every* Kubuntu user should have this problem [06:42] LachnessMonster: Give it a try. If it works it works. If it doesn't... make sure you have backups of those apps or can reinstall them! [06:43] Bugsbane: unfortunately the fix didn't solve it :/ [06:43] how can i back all programs up? [06:43] Bugsbane: I have Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01) [06:43] Bugsbane: so I picked the Sun Java Runtime Environment option [06:44] LachnessMonster: Have you installed anything *not* from Synaptic / Kpackagekit? [06:44] a few [06:44] but they dont matter [06:44] poyntz: You usually need to restart [06:44] has any one had any problems using tweak ubuntu with karmic [06:45] SeViLLa_: "tweak ubuntu"? [06:45] LachnessMonster: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/backup-installed-packages-on-ubuntu.html [06:46] Bugsbane: gotcha. brb [06:46] k [06:46] tsimpson: it wont let me install any packages or make any changes to my system [06:47] SeViLLa_: what is "tweak ubuntu" exactly? [06:47] its kind of like gconf-editor in ubuntu [06:48] tsimpson: check it out google it [06:48] thanks Bugsbane [06:48] np [06:49] we can't support 3rd party applications that decide to edit the system in random ways [06:49] tsimpson: i hear you [06:50] tsimpson: i was just messing around with it [06:50] if there is a problem with it, I guess you need to contact whoever created it [06:50] those sort of things have a track record of messing systems up [06:51] it works great on ubuntu hardy just not on kubuntu karmic [06:51] tsimpson: thanks though [06:52] backing up 300gigs [06:52] gonna tak a while [06:53] ouch [06:53] Bugsbane: no luck :/ [06:54] Bugsbane: search still won't yield results [06:54] ok, so what do you see if you go into... [06:54] usr lib jvm [06:54] (can't type forward slashes into irc...) [06:55] /usr/lib$ ls jvm [06:55] java-6-sun java-6-sun-1.6.0.16 [06:55] Bugsbane: is that right? [06:55] and what does ln -s /usr/lib/libjvm.so show? [06:56] sorry thats ls -l [06:56] ln: creating symbolic link `./libjvm.so': File exists [06:56] I meant ls -l /usr/lib/libjvm.so [06:57] sorry [06:57] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2009-11-29 17:42 /usr/lib/libjvm.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/server/libjvm.so [06:57] And you're on a 32bit version of Kubuntu? [06:57] is that what it's supposed to link to? [06:57] yeah [06:58] Yeah, it is. I just noticed though that mine (which works) is actually pointing to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so [06:58] (I'm on 64 bit though) [06:58] ah [06:59] yeh, could be that [06:59] also, i installed kubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu [06:59] So you may want to do sudo rm /usr/lib/libjvm.so && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libjvm.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/server/libjvm.so [06:59] don't know if that affects things [06:59] SHouldn't [06:59] It's just an unresolved issue for ALL Kubuntu users [07:00] I've been symlinking this since KDE 4.0 came out... [07:00] Sounds like they're going to be fixing it soon(ish) though [07:00] cannot remove `/usr/lib/libjvm.so': No such file or directory [07:01] * poyntz_ has worse problems. for example, ever since he switched to kde, he can't go on laptop battery because it shuts down after about a minute [07:01] the search function is just an inconvenience [07:02] Sorry. Can't help with that one. The nepomuk issue I'm familiar with though [07:02] ah k, how about iphone issues? [07:02] as in, when I connect the iphone it doesn't show up in /mnt or /media [07:02] - making it impossible to offload files from the iphone to the desktop [07:03] also, fdisk -l doesn't show a new sda* or anything [07:03] actually, that last point might be a moot point [07:03] it's not an ext HD [07:03] so it probably wouldn't show up as an sda [07:05] gonna try lshw and lsusb and hope something shows up [07:06] Bugsbane: lol - Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05ac:1294 Apple, Inc. [07:06] that's all I get :/ [07:09] Bugsbane: ok. it's a reported bug - https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-new/2009-July/022403.html [07:12] unfortunately, no-one's replied with info on a fix... [07:12] and it's only been reported once in one forum [07:23] does bluetooth work in kde 4.3.2? [07:23] more specifically can KBluetooth receive files from other devices? [07:26] it sends fine. just doesn't seem to receive on my comp [07:27] poyntz_: does this have any help? http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=84761 [07:27] poyntz_: that's page for the kbluetooth you are using [07:28] Hi, I've downloaded 9.10 and after selecting install or try Kubuntu, it loads a blank screen where nothing will load at all. I've waited for like 20 minutes earlier. [07:29] Wutzan: have you tried safe graphics mode? [07:29] Tm_T: no luck. it just reports problems with receiving multiple files at once [07:29] yes [07:29] Wutzan: also, what kind of display card/chip you have? [07:29] ati x1300 [07:29] poyntz_: roger, all I know about it is it's still work in progress [07:30] Wutzan: what is the last thing you can see? [07:30] the start up menu for the cd [07:31] Tm_T: ahh :/. If I right click on KBluetooth > Settings > Obex server. Obex server is greyed out. I think obex server allows you to receive files. but if it's greyed out could that be the problem? [07:31] Wutzan: you select, and then nothing? [07:31] poyntz_: I would say yes (: [07:31] Tm_T: is there any way I can ungrey it out :P [07:32] Tm_T: as in, make it a clickable option? [07:32] yeah, nothing [07:32] Wutzan: press ALT F1 when kubuntu is loading [07:32] Wutzan: it's a video card problem [07:32] Wutzan: driver i mean [07:33] Tm_T: I didn't have the package obexpushd, could it be that? [07:33] huh? [07:33] !obexpushd [07:33] the card is old...how the heck is it not supported with a vesa driver [07:33] Wutzan: bug kernel ? [07:34] !info obexpushd > poyntz_ [07:34] Wutzan: i have an intel and thank to canonical team i cannot use kdenlive for a bug on my intel driver ... [07:34] Wutzan: i had to upgrade them.... [07:34] Wutzan: hmmm, have you checked disk to make sure it's ok? [07:34] according to Ubottu it's its own program...
