| r00t_ninja | 32bit flash on 64bit only has a slight performance drop | 01:20 |
| bbigras | with 32 bit I often have to minimise FF and restore it to be able to interact with flash videos | 01:21 |
| r00t_ninja | were you installing it with the flashplugin installer from the repos? | 01:22 |

| Orion777 | anyone around? | 03:31 |
| genii | Barely :) | 03:33 |
| Orion777 | when I add something to autostart it always asks for admin password, how do I make it remember the pw? | 03:33 |
| Orion777 | or automatically put it in for me | 03:33 |
| Orion777 | at startup | 03:34 |
| genii | Orion777: Is it a graphical app or a command-line one? | 03:35 |
| Orion777 | graphical | 03:35 |
| genii | Orion777: So you're running it with something like: kdesudo appname I imagine | 03:36 |
| Orion111 | well, I can do that, I really just added it to autostart | 03:39 |
| Orion111 | so I put a file in autostart folder that says kdesudo appname then what | 03:39 |
| genii | Orion111: Are you using kde or using gnome? Since you are crossposting in both channels | 03:40 |
| Orion777 | sorry genii did you respond? | 03:40 |
| genii | Orion777: Are you using kde or using gnome? Since you are crossposting in both channels | 03:40 |
| Orion777 | kde | 03:40 |
| Orion777 | isn't the method the same in either version | 03:41 |
| genii | Orion777: Then yes, use the kdesudo appname way. Then you need to edit the sudoers file to allow your username to run sudo apps without requiring a password | 03:41 |
| genii | Orion777: No, the method is *not* the same | 03:41 |
| Orion777 | how do I edit sudoers file? | 03:42 |
| genii | Orion777: kdesudo kate /etc/sudoers then add a line like: username ALL= NOPASSWD: /full-path/and-filename/here/to/that-app | 03:43 |
| r00t_ninja | Orion777: what is running on login | 03:44 |
| genii | Orion777: The sudoers edit works for both kde and gnome apps which require superuser access/pass. kde uses kdesudo , gnome uses gksudo | 03:45 |
| Orion777 | it says I don't have permission to modify that file | 03:49 |
| Orion777 | sudoers | 03:49 |
| r00t_ninja | Orion777: What are you trying to run as root on startup? | 03:52 |
| Orion777 | yes, that's how it comes up in autostart(system settings | 03:52 |
| Orion777 | sudo-to-root | 03:52 |
| r00t_ninja | ? | 03:52 |
| Orion777 | rootnina, its in the command section | 03:54 |
| genii | Orion777: I said earlier: "<genii> Orion777: kdesudo kate /etc/sudoers ..." <- note the "kdesudo" at front | 03:54 |
| Orion777 | put that in my autostart file? | 03:54 |
| genii | Orion777: No. | 03:54 |
| Orion777 | .kde/autostart | 03:54 |
| Orion777 | oh in the autostart entry | 03:54 |
| genii | Orion777: No | 03:54 |
| Orion777 | sigh, I did what you said in sudoers and it said I don't have permission to change the file | 03:55 |
| r00t_ninja | Orion777: what program are you running on startup that requires root permissions? | 03:55 |
| genii | Orion777: You put in your autostart something like: kdesudo application-name You then edit the /etc/sudoers file by issuing into Konsole: kdesudo kate /etc/sudoers | 03:55 |
| Orion777 | ok, where in the sudoers file do I put the line | 03:56 |
| Orion777 | rootninja, firestarter | 03:57 |
| genii | Orion777: At which point you put into the sudoers file: your-username-here ALL=NOPASSWD:/the-path-to-application-you-want-to-run-with-kdesudo/application-name-here | 03:57 |
| Orion777 | it can go anywhere in the file? | 03:57 |
| genii | Orion777: You put the line i described anywhere in the sudoers file, yes. SUBSTITUTE ACCORDINGLY the appname,path,username | 03:58 |
| Orion777 | k | 03:59 |
| Orion777 | there is a line in there that says %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL but its commented, that will deactivate pw for all apps? | 04:00 |
| r00t_ninja | Orion777: are you trying to achieve not having to type your password in? | 04:00 |
| genii | Orion777: For all users and all apps. It's an extremely horrible thing to uncomment | 04:00 |
| r00t_ninja | atall | 04:00 |
| Orion777 | k, I put in the line you suggested, thank you | 04:01 |
| zhanes | transforming linux in windows | 04:02 |
| zhanes | hi all | 04:03 |
| zhanes | r00t_ninja, do you think that update system archives from ppa is a bad idea? | 04:04 |
| frybye | hi - just installed karmic kubuntu and would like to fix amarok so that it does not ask for the keyring password all the time - any tips? | 04:05 |
| zhanes | sure | 04:05 |
| zhanes | where you found your ppa? | 04:06 |
| zhanes | frybye, i dont understood you correctly, but if your system dont ask password is because you have | 04:08 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Frybye: You could remove the password from kwallet , I can guide you through that if you want | 04:09 |
| Orion777 | genii, I put the line kdesudo firestarter in the kate file I put in .kde/autostart(executable of course) | 04:10 |
| Orion777 | is that right? | 04:10 |
| frybye | r00t_ninja_: hang on a min brb | 04:11 |
| Orion777 | I have an autostart file, so I put the line kde firestarter in it | 04:11 |
| genii | Orion777: So you have some file now in /home/yourusername/Autostart (with uppercase A in Autostart) ? | 04:12 |
| zhanes | firestart have a option to start at start, dont? | 04:12 |
| Orion777 | can someone tell me if logging out is the same as restarting? | 04:13 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i think putting "ALL=NOPASSWD:firestarter" in your sudoers password should work | 04:13 |
| frybye | r00t_ninja_: hi - am back on the right pc now... about removing the pw from kwallet? | 04:13 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i think putting "ALL=NOPASSWD:firestarter" in your sudoers file should work | 04:13 |
| r00t_ninja_ | frybye: search wallet in the menu | 04:13 |
| Orion777 | genii, yes I have an autostart file in that folder | 04:14 |
| r00t_ninja_ | and you should find the Wallet Management Tool | 04:14 |
| Orion777 | and in it it says kdesudo firestarter, will that suffice? | 04:14 |
| Orion777 | for some reason, everytime it asks for admin pw not username pw | 04:14 |
| genii | Orion777: If you put the full path to where firestarter is when you made the sudoers entry, it should work | 04:15 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: can i see your sudoers file? | 04:15 |
| frybye | r00t_ninja_: found the entry for amarok and passwords but dosent seem to offer much options? | 04:15 |
| r00t_ninja_ | wait | 04:15 |
| r00t_ninja_ | click file | 04:15 |
| r00t_ninja_ | change password | 04:15 |
| hg | h | 04:15 |
| frybye | and then...? | 04:16 |
| r00t_ninja_ | click ok | 04:16 |
| r00t_ninja_ | leave a blank password | 04:16 |
| frybye | use a blank pw | 04:16 |
| r00t_ninja_ | yes | 04:16 |
| frybye | ok tks... | 04:16 |
| Orion777 | rootninja: in sudoers file, on its own line, it says orion ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/firestarter | 04:16 |
| r00t_ninja_ | the information is stored in your home directory anyway so other users wont be able to see it | 04:16 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: ok | 04:16 |
| Orion777 | so now I just add kdesudo firestarter to autostart file right? | 04:17 |
| genii | Orion777: sudoers entry looks good | 04:17 |
| frybye | r00t_ninja_: thanks a lot - go test now - see you... | 04:17 |
| r00t_ninja_ | cya | 04:17 |
| genii | Orion777: Yes, kdesudo firestarter should work. Maybe also check that that file is executable | 04:17 |
| Orion777 | so path is not needed this time | 04:18 |
| genii | Orion777: Since is in default PATH should be OK. | 04:18 |
| Orion777 | k, and do I need to restart to try this or just logout | 04:19 |
| r00t_ninja_ | restart | 04:19 |
| r00t_ninja_ | not neccesary | 04:19 |
| genii | Orion777: You might want to: chmod +x /home/yourusername/.kde/Autostart/whatever-your-filename-was | 04:19 |
| r00t_ninja_ | well might not be | 04:19 |

| lordganesh | how to find path of command | 04:33 |

| Orion777 | there is always this kdesudo error message on startup everytime and it was before we just did all this also | 04:37 |
| genii | Orion777: If you are running GTK apps (like Firefox for instance) and want them to look something like the rest of your KDE desktop, probably leave the qtcurve | 04:38 |
| Orion777 | all I had in there was nvidia-settings -l, but something is trying to run on startup and erroring, where would I find it | 04:38 |
| zhanes | qtcurve is eauty | 04:38 |
| zhanes | qtcurve is beauty | 04:38 |

| Orion777 | its a bug? | 04:39 |

Can anone hlp m withthis? When I try to install gnome from the synaptic package manager, it informs me that I have missing | 04:40 |
| mildred | dependencies. That leads me to believe that I could resolve this problem if I had the proper repositories configured. I am looking for the repos but I cant find them.

| FloodBotK3 | mildred: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:40 |
| Orion777 | it says that the command is not using any ..what do you call it like the -l in nvidia-settings -l? | 04:40 |
| Akhenaton | nothing works | 04:40 |
| Orion777 | then it gives the syntax for kdesudo like its telling me how to run it | 04:41 |
| zhanes | so change syntaxe to recommended | 04:41 |
| Orion777 | of what? | 04:41 |
| Orion777 | I don't even know what its talking about | 04:41 |
| zhanes | by kde sudo | 04:41 |
| zhanes | but i think that could be symbol error | 04:42 |
| Orion777 | I wasn't running any kdesudo..just nvidia-settings -l | 04:42 |
| zhanes | kde 4 has a provblem with symbols | 04:42 |
| Akhenaton | sudo apt-get remove mono-common libmono0 | 04:42 |
| Akhenaton | stop the reptilians! | 04:42 |
| zhanes | %20 is present but not recognized | 04:42 |
| Orion777 | what symbol, the dash symbol? | 04:43 |
| Orion777 | its like as basic as it gets | 04:43 |
| genii | Orion777: The "-l" switch of nvidia-settings means to load a config file and pass the settings found there to the graphical system (X server). Likely you have no config file | 04:43 |
| zhanes | html symbology like %20 | 04:43 |
| Orion777 | but it is working because without it, my settings don't load | 04:44 |
| zhanes | %20=space | 04:44 |
| zhanes | change all %20 to space | 04:44 |
| Orion777 | genii, you're saying if I take out the -l it will still work? | 04:44 |
| zhanes | maybe that | 04:44 |
| Orion777 | but then it will load the configurator | 04:44 |
| genii | Orion777: Not sure. I haven't had to mess with nvidia-settings much | 04:44 |
| zhanes | he is affirming that is possible to you dont have config file in x | 04:45 |
| Orion777 | is there a way to auto close dialogs on startup? | 04:45 |
| zhanes | he is affirming that is possible to you dont have nvidia configuration file in x | 04:45 |
| Orion777 | well, I did save the x config file | 04:46 |
| zhanes | genii its possible to rhim remove de autostart the nvidia-settings? | 04:46 |
| genii | Orion777: To autoclose the firestarter dialog? | 04:46 |
| Orion777 | well, either that or this kdesudo error | 04:47 |
| zhanes | genni i think ha his problem be a autostart that show desnecessary warnings | 04:47 |
| Orion777 | I"m getting a kdesudo error on startup that tells me correct syntax, and I don't know what its related to | 04:48 |
| Akhenaton | my sound doesnt work | 04:49 |
| genii | Orion777: Hm. I'm not sure. Wouldn't recommend removing the nvidia-settings unless you feel OK about maybe having to copy it back in there command-line if it fails horribly | 04:49 |
| Akhenaton | reptilians might be interfering with pulseaudio | 04:49 |
| genii | Akhenaton: The reptilians and libmono? ;) | 04:50 |
| zhanes | Orion, go to autostart of kde and if have an auto-start for nvidia-settings, edit the archive or delete them | 04:50 |
| Akhenaton | yes | 04:51 |

| Omar87 | zhanes: I'm not quite sure. | 05:10 |
| zhanes | what your ip now? | 05:11 |
| zhanes | are you connected to internet throught a near server, or by a payed net provider | 05:12 |
| Orion777 | zhanes, edit the archives or delete them? | 05:13 |
| Orion777 | you mean the x config file? | 05:13 |
| zhanes | better delet it, to me is a inutil archive, but if you prefer to preserve for security motives, then edit them | 05:14 |
| zhanes | retire -l or comment | 05:15 |
| Orion777 | nvidia-settings will work without the -l? | 05:16 |
| zhanes | sure | 05:16 |
| Orion777 | won't it open the configuration settings? | 05:16 |
| zhanes | if you dont have any configuration file, how you want to load he configuration file? | 05:17 |
| zhanes | i do not use nvidia-settings, i use kde settings | 05:17 |
| Orion777 | kde settings dont have digital vibrance | 05:17 |
| Orion777 | anyway, why take out the -l when I will then have to close a different window anyway(nvidia settings window) | 05:18 |
| zhanes | but have gama and color | 05:18 |
| Akhenaton | why not use | 05:18 |
| Orion777 | where is gamma? | 05:18 |

| Orion777 | genii, what will auto close to system tray these autostart entries? | 05:28 |
| Orion777 | cause once they open I don't need the open windows, just the little systray icons | 05:29 |
| Orion777 | for instance, what is the kdesudo syntax to minimize, close, etc? | 05:29 |
| genii | Orion777: Not sure. Usually you'd have a command switch option, but this is dependent on whichever app it happens to be. Also some don't have this. | 05:30 |
| genii | Orion777: It's not a kdesudo syntax thing. It's an application-dependent thing. | 05:30 |
| Orion777 | to find out, I would type for instance firestarter -h? | 05:31 |
| genii | Orion777: Perhaps, or check it's manpage | 05:31 |
| Orion777 | it has no non-terminal choice for this | 05:31 |
| genii | Orion777: I think it has some no-gui option but not sure | 05:31 |
| Orion777 | it says --start-hidden so I put that at the end of the kdesudo line yes? | 05:32 |
| genii | Orion777: Probably your best option for that one | 05:32 |
| Orion777 | genii, pidgin does not have an option for this and it fills the panel with one of those app bars | 05:37 |
| genii | Orion777: No idea on that one. | 05:38 |
| Akhenaton | racist | 05:40 |
| bazhang | Akhenaton, stop that | 05:40 |
| Akhenaton | im being censored | 05:40 |
| genii | Akhenaton: It's impossible to tell what race you are over the internet in the first place, in order to be able to discriminate against you as you claim. You're just being disruptive and annoying users | 05:40 |
| genii | Akhenaton: I've given you ample polite warnings to desist | 05:41 |
| zhanes | akhenaton, are you being censored by your religion? | 05:42 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: there is not much point having <insert name of that firewall config here> as all it is is a frontend for iptables which starts on boot anyway | 05:42 |
| Akhenaton | reptilians are real | 05:42 |
| Akhenaton | plus im black | 05:42 |
| zhanes | you are a black reptil? | 05:42 |
| genii | Akhenaton: You can discuss reptiles, etc in #kubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:43 |
| Orion777 | rootninja, how can I see that the iptables is running? | 05:47 |
| zhanes | r00t where i can find nvsettings version 1.6? | 05:48 |
| zhanes | (to download) | 05:49 |
| zhanes | r00t, its serious. my graphic card is legacy and nvcontrol dont run in nvidia-settings 1.11 | 05:57 |
| SeViLLA | ,\ | 06:05 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: how did you install your drivers? | 06:07 |
| zhanes | by envy ng | 06:11 |
| zhanes | auto-installation | 06:11 |
| zhanes | I installed nvidia-settings from dapper version, but now adept is calling for update, can i hold the nvidia-settings version and adpt wont ask me for update again? | 06:13 |
| zhanes | Orion777 Use nvidia-settings in autostart without kdesudo option. kdesudo option is the problem | 06:18 |
| zhanes | the nvidia-settings -l | 06:18 |
| zhanes | then "nvidia-settings -l" without kdesudo | 06:18 |
| zhanes | you can "kcmshell nvidia-settings -l" | 06:20 |
| Orion777 | what is a dummy package? | 06:20 |
| zhanes | Orion777 You can "kcmshell nvidia-settings -l" | 06:20 |
| zhanes | Do you understood Orion777? | 06:21 |
| Orion777 | zhanes, I never used the kdesudo option, I just used nvidia-settings -l | 06:21 |
| zhanes | so put in autostart without kdesudo, use kcmshell | 06:21 |
| zhanes | --> "kcmshell nvidia-settings -l" | 06:22 |
| Orion777 | what does that do | 06:22 |
| Orion777 | it doesn't open anything? | 06:22 |
| zhanes | well, will solve your problem with kdesudo warning and will put nvidia-settings in system tray | 06:22 |
| zhanes | in system traay you always can access nvidia-settings | 06:23 |
| Orion777 | will kcmshell put anything in the systray? by systray you mean the little icons | 06:23 |
| zhanes | ;-) | 06:23 |
| zhanes | oh, but is to instant access. Good for administration | 06:23 |
| r00t_ninja_ | wow thanks for that trick | 06:23 |
| Orion777 | yes but does it load the settings in it? | 06:23 |
| zhanes | in any time you can acces nvidia-settings | 06:24 |
| r00t_ninja_ | nvidia-settings -l just loads the config | 06:24 |
| zhanes | sure, just loads | 06:24 |
| Orion777 | will kcmshell work for other apps too? | 06:24 |
| zhanes | will load ~./nvidiarc | 06:24 |
| r00t_ninja_ | kcmshell doesnt appear to work for me | 06:25 |
| zhanes | with kcmshell you will have the nvidia-settings for all time to acces in any moment that if you want | 06:25 |
| Orion777 | well, I really just want to load the settings at startup | 06:25 |
| Orion777 | if it loads them, I'm happy with that | 06:26 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: i thought it already did that? | 06:26 |
| zhanes | yes, will load your default and put in system tray to you manage in any time | 06:26 |
| Orion777 | yes, but there is a kdesudo error at startup | 06:26 |
| Orion777 | rootninja | 06:26 |
| r00t_ninja_ | that shouldnt happen | 06:26 |
| zhanes | r00t, dont worked to you? | 06:26 |
| Orion777 | well, how do I find out whats causing it? | 06:26 |
| r00t_ninja_ | go into system settings | 06:27 |
| r00t_ninja_ | the advanced tab | 06:27 |
| r00t_ninja_ | and then startup | 06:27 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i mean Auto Start | 06:27 |
| Orion777 | autostart section? the only things there are my autostart file and qtcurve gtk thing | 06:27 |
| Orion777 | and the only thing that was in my autostart file was nvidia-settings -l | 06:28 |
| r00t_ninja_ | no kdesudo nvidia-settings ? | 06:28 |
| Orion777 | oh, I was supposed to put kdesudo before it? | 06:28 |
| Orion777 | strangely it works anyway | 06:29 |
| Orion777 | but a dialog giving kdesudo syntax comes up for some reason | 06:29 |
| Orion777 | says kdesudo error no command line syntax, then shows basic syntax | 06:30 |
| r00t_ninja_ | no you wernt | 06:31 |
| zhanes | i think that could be strange syntaxes | 06:31 |
| r00t_ninja_ | you wernt suposed to put kdesudo before it | 06:31 |
| Orion777 | k, I didn't | 06:31 |
| zhanes | so i understood you wrong | 06:31 |
| r00t_ninja_ | go into system settings again | 06:31 |
| r00t_ninja_ | advanced | 06:31 |
| r00t_ninja_ | and then session manager | 06:32 |
| r00t_ninja_ | make sure on login it starts with an empty session | 06:32 |
| Orion777 | is this a permanent setting I'll want? | 06:32 |
| Orion777 | so anything I put in autostart folder should show up on system settings/autostart listings right? | 06:33 |
| zhanes | put in start | 06:35 |
| zhanes | r00t if i hold nvidia-settings package, the adept warning will desapear? | 06:36 |
| r00t_ninja_ | im not sure | 06:36 |
| Orion777 | what does put in start mean | 06:36 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: your using 8.10 right? | 06:36 |
| Orion777 | rootninja, so I put start with empty session, I want to keep it that way? | 06:36 |
| r00t_ninja_ | yes | 06:36 |
| zhanes | choose start, not pre-startup KDE | 06:37 |
| r00t_ninja_ | that way when you log in any programs you had open when you last logged in wont still be there | 06:37 |
| zhanes | yes, r00t | 06:37 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: you might want to consider doing a full install and backing up your home dir | 06:37 |
| Orion777 | so the empty sessions thing will remove the kdesudo error? | 06:37 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: maybe | 06:38 |
| zhanes | maybe pre-startup KDE is the problem | 06:38 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: you could request a free cd if you dont have much bandwith or for other reasons | 06:38 |
| r00t_ninja_ | only the gtk thing should be pre startup | 06:39 |
| Orion777 | only gtk qtcurve is prestartup | 06:39 |
| zhanes | i have a good bandwidth, but i want to hold nvidia-drivers | 06:39 |
| zhanes | adept is warning to i update drivers, but i cant | 06:39 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: what drivers are you currently using? | 06:40 |
| r00t_ninja_ | the 96xx ones? | 06:40 |
| zhanes | i'm using envy ng drivers and nvidia-settings from dapper | 06:40 |
| zhanes | dappe package | 06:40 |
| zhanes | dapper package | 06:40 |
| zhanes | yeah, 96 series | 06:40 |
| r00t_ninja_ | they are available in 9.10 | 06:41 |
| zhanes | sure, but dont run correctly | 06:41 |
| r00t_ninja_ | so if you remove them you will be able to get them again | 06:41 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: they do now i think | 06:41 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: there was an issue with nvidia not uppdating there legacy drivers for the latest xorg | 06:42 |
| r00t_ninja_ | but they updated | 06:42 |
| zhanes | but my question is, if i hold the package, adept will stop warnings of update package? | 06:42 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: i am not sure | 06:43 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: its probably not a good idea because they would not be compiled for the latest kernel | 06:43 |
| zhanes | well, i'm nothing to loose | 06:44 |
| zhanes | well, the idea was hold kernel too | 06:44 |
| TeXnicer | #kubuntu-de | 06:45 |
| zhanes | but will give problems with modules | 06:45 |
| r00t_ninja_ | ok lol but i would seriously suggest doing a full upgrade | 06:45 |
| TeXnicer | iek! | 06:45 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i am 99% sure you would be able to get your drivers running in 9.10 | 06:45 |
| zhanes | lol, i have only stranges ideas, dont? | 06:45 |
| r00t_ninja_ | as the 96xx drivers are offered in the driver manager | 06:45 |
| zhanes | if you're right, will be good for me | 06:46 |
| zhanes | but in release of karmic, the 96 drivers wasnt running | 06:46 |
| r00t_ninja_ | the bugs have been fixed | 06:47 |
| zhanes | r00t kcmshell did run correctly to you? | 06:47 |
| noaXess | good morning | 06:48 |

| zhanes | r00t sleeps without snooze | 06:50 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: you see that bug report? | 06:50 |
| r00t_ninja_ | its been fixed | 06:50 |
| r00t_ninja_ | so the drivers should work | 06:50 |
| Orion777 | rootninja | 06:50 |
| zhanes | i'm reading | 06:50 |
| zhanes | so i hope! :-) | 06:51 |
| Orion777 | now that I set session to start empty, nothing autostarts anymore, not even pidgin | 06:51 |
| zhanes | r00t, i was see, the problem is modules | 06:52 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: you will need to add that to the autostart | 06:52 |
| r00t_ninja_ | go into system settings | 06:52 |
| r00t_ninja_ | advanced tab | 06:52 |
| Orion777 | no, I mean, nothing in autostart works anymore either | 06:52 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Autostart | 06:52 |
| r00t_ninja_ | then do add program | 06:52 |
| kindofabuzz | I've been using Linux for only about a year now and have always used Gnome. Tonight I installed and tried Kubuntu for the first time. Wow. Goodbye Gnome! | 06:52 |
| Orion777 | I can't use an autostart file anymore? | 06:53 |
| zhanes | really orion? | 06:53 |
| Orion777 | yes, even more autostart entries dont work anymore | 06:53 |
| zhanes | very stange | 06:53 |
| Orion777 | my | 06:53 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: i suggest you delete your autostart folder and start over again with it | 06:53 |
| r00t_ninja_ | open up a terminal and do: | 06:54 |
| zhanes | have you installed the script from system settings? | 06:54 |
| r00t_ninja_ | rm -rf ~/.kde/Autostart/* | 06:54 |
| r00t_ninja_ | and then | 06:54 |
| r00t_ninja_ | mkdir ~/.kde/Autostart | 06:54 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i will tell you how to get all the applications you want on startup working | 06:54 |
| zhanes | maybe a fs error | 06:55 |
| zhanes | r00t had reason | 06:55 |
| kindofabuzz | what is KDE's equvilent to gksu? | 06:55 |
| r00t_ninja_ | kindofabuzz: kdesu | 06:55 |
| kindofabuzz | r00t_ninja_: thnaks | 06:55 |
| zhanes | kdesudo | 06:55 |
| Orion777 | strangely it also wiped out the configuration files of external programs | 06:58 |
| Orion777 | my settings for pidgeon are all gone | 06:58 |
| Orion777 | pidgin | 06:58 |
| === l0wk3y is now known as active | ||
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: did you run the command exactly as i said? | 07:00 |
| r00t_ninja_ | also do you get that kdesudo error on login? | 07:00 |
| Orion777 | which command, no I don't get the error anymore but nothing loads anymore either and it seems to have stripped the colors from the app guis | 07:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | ok go into system settings | 07:02 |
| r00t_ninja_ | and then autstart | 07:02 |

| zhanes | you can configure pidgin again, dont? | 07:06 |
| r00t_ninja_ | noaXess: im dont know what that problem is | 07:06 |
| zhanes | r00t, worked to you kcmshell trick to nvidia-settings? | 07:09 |
| zhanes | adept is annoying me with your warnings | 07:11 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: no that kcshell trick hasnt worked but my nvidia settings already restore on boot | 07:13 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i mean on login | 07:13 |
| zhanes | well, i think that need to be a desktop autostart | 07:14 |
| r00t_ninja_ | you said it would make an icon appear in the systemtray right? | 07:14 |
| zhanes | right | 07:15 |
| r00t_ninja_ | kcmshell nvidia-settings ? | 07:15 |
| zhanes | yep | 07:15 |
| r00t_ninja_ | ill try alltray | 07:18 |
| zhanes | hiorion | 07:20 |
| Orion777 | yes | 07:20 |
| zhanes | progress? | 07:21 |
| zhanes | solved you problem? | 07:21 |
| Orion777 | well, kdesudo error is back..it has something to do with using an autostart file in general | 07:21 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: what you are trying to do? | 07:22 |
| Orion777 | I am trying to autostart apps and nvidia-settings -l on startup | 07:22 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: hmmm, does these apps show in application menu? | 07:23 |
| Orion777 | yes | 07:23 |
| r00t_ninja_ | remember those changes you made to your sudoers file? | 07:23 |
| Tm_T | ....what changes? | 07:24 |
| r00t_ninja_ | you should probably undo them | 07:24 |
| r00t_ninja_ | its was ages ago | 07:24 |
| r00t_ninja_ | someone suggested it for something | 07:24 |
| r00t_ninja_ | cant remember what | 07:24 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: you should only need to copy those application .desktop files to ~/.kde/Autostart/ | 07:25 |
| Orion777 | but I want them to minimize to systray on startup | 07:26 |
| zhanes | yeah, the better alternative | 07:26 |
| Orion777 | and also I am using the wait command to prolong the startup of one of them | 07:26 |
| r00t_ninja_ | by wait do you mean sleep? | 07:27 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: hmm, does those apps have option to start them in systray itself? | 07:27 |
| Orion777 | otherwise it shows this annoying dialog window, also I don't know what is causing this kdesudo error | 07:27 |
| Orion777 | tmt, no, they dont | 07:27 |
| r00t_ninja_ | try kdocker | 07:27 |
| Orion777 | rootninja by wait I mean wait (time) && kdesudo app | 07:27 |
| Orion777 | && kdesudo rather | 07:28 |
| zhanes | have a option to run in silence | 07:28 |
| r00t_ninja_ | why are your running it with kdesudo? | 07:28 |
| zhanes | i dont remember now | 07:28 |
| Orion777 | why am I running firestarter with kdesudo? cause I was told to, is that not correct? | 07:29 |
| Tm_T | r00t_ninja_: if application is gui app, you should NOT use plain sudo | 07:29 |
| r00t_ninja_ | no but what application | 07:29 |
| zhanes | you can create a .desktopto run in shell with silence | 07:29 |
| r00t_ninja_ | oh firestarter | 07:29 |
| zhanes | i will find to you the commands, give me a minutews | 07:29 |
| r00t_ninja_ | firestarter is only used for configuring the firewall though? | 07:29 |
| jussi01 | !ufw | 07:29 |
| Tm_T | r00t_ninja_: and to monitor network usage too | 07:29 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 07:29 |
| r00t_ninja_ | kde has a plasma widget to monitor network usage | 07:30 |
| Tm_T | btw Firestarter is pretty much unmaintained, so whatever bugs it has prolly stays there | 07:30 |
| Orion777 | so once guarddog has configured the settings it is no longer needed? | 07:30 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: yes | 07:30 |
| r00t_ninja_ | same with firestarter | 07:30 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: typically you need firewall tools only to configure | 07:31 |
| Orion777 | but guarddog may be able to configure it better? | 07:31 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i wouldnt know | 07:31 |
| Orion777 | and for pidgeon, I just put pidgeon in the autostart file? | 07:32 |
| Orion777 | pidgin | 07:32 |
| r00t_ninja_ | yes | 07:32 |
| r00t_ninja_ | although you could consider kopete | 07:32 |
| r00t_ninja_ | since its a kde application | 07:32 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: ummm, doesn't pidgin get autostarted automatically if you leave it open? | 07:32 |
| === active is now known as l0wk3y | ||
| r00t_ninja_ | Tm_T: session restore is disabled | 07:32 |
| Tm_T | oh, hrrr | 07:32 |
| Orion777 | k, and for nvidia-settings -l, it still seems to be generating the kdesudo error | 07:33 |
| r00t_ninja_ | he could enable it though | 07:33 |
| Orion777 | so I set it to restore last login? | 07:33 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: or saved session | 07:33 |
| zhanes | copy desktop from your kickoff to Autostart | 07:33 |
| r00t_ninja_ | are you running nvidia-settings -l with kdesudo ? | 07:33 |
| Tm_T | zhanes: that too | 07:33 |
| Orion777 | no, I'm just running nvidia-settings -l | 07:33 |
| r00t_ninja_ | it shouldnt be creating an error then | 07:34 |
| Orion777 | let me try this again with these new tips and I will give feedback | 07:34 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: what this "nvidia-settings -l" should do? | 07:34 |
| r00t_ninja_ | restores the nvidia settings configuration | 07:34 |
| Orion777 | tmt, it loads my nvidia settings such as digital vibrance | 07:34 |
| r00t_ninja_ | --load-configuration-only | 07:34 |
| r00t_ninja_ | thats what the -l is for | 07:34 |
| zhanes | Orion, copy .desktop from your KDE kickoff to your autostart | 07:35 |
| Tm_T | erp | 07:35 |
| zhanes | then put option -l | 07:35 |
| zhanes | then erase older nvidia-settings autostart | 07:35 |
| Orion777 | how do I copy .desktop from kde kickoff to autostart | 07:35 |
| Orion777 | what does that mean | 07:35 |
| zhanes | drag and drop | 07:35 |
| Orion777 | kde kickoff is k menu right? | 07:36 |
| zhanes | right | 07:36 |
| zhanes | drag the file and drop pasting to AutoStart | 07:36 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: -l, --load-config-only Load the configuration file, send the values specified therein to the X server, and exit. This mode of operation is useful to place i your .xinitrc file, for example. | 07:36 |
| Orion777 | I don't see a .desktop in there just a bunch of apps | 07:36 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: nvidia-settings should NOT use any sudo anyway IIRC | 07:37 |
| zhanes | then click properties and add -l option | 07:37 |
| zhanes | yeah, sudo is your problem | 07:37 |
| zhanes | you need to put nvidia-settings without kdesudo | 07:38 |
| Orion777 | I never used kdesudo | 07:38 |
| Tm_T | Orion777: you would only need simple script with that I suppose | 07:39 |
| Orion777 | anyway, let me try what all this, and I wil report back ty | 07:39 |

| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: yes | 07:47 |
| Orion777 | k that should be that then | 07:48 |
| r00t_ninja_ | i think to save you can run the command dbus-send --dest=org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSession | 07:49 |

| zhanes | Orion777 are you here? | 08:29 |
| zhanes | Tm_T, Orion777 solved his problem? | 08:30 |
| Tm_T | zhanes: no idea | 08:33 |
| zhanes | i'm using .desktop from kickoff as well | 08:35 |
| zhanes | to me is running well | 08:35 |
| zhanes | r00t_nija was gone? | 08:36 |
| zhanes | i think that Orion777 problem is a bug of KDE 4 update, a bug to first install nvidia-settings | 08:37 |
| zhanes | maybe a config shadow | 08:38 |
| Tm_T | zhanes: does this bug has number? | 08:38 |
| Tm_T | s/has/have/ | 08:38 |
| zhanes | in past i was a same problem | 08:39 |
| zhanes | was naturally solved with new updates | 08:39 |
| Tm_T | in past was when? | 08:40 |
| zhanes | some days before | 08:40 |
| Tm_T | ok | 08:40 |
| zhanes | kdesudo shows stupid warnings at startup | 08:41 |
| Tm_T | zhanes: I wonder how that would do with nvidia-settings though | 08:41 |
| zhanes | them without reason, like theres no reason to show warnings, the problem was gonne | 08:41 |
| zhanes | so I am too Tm_T | 08:42 |
| xjjk | hello, is there a PPA with Qt 4.6 final somewhere? kubuntu-experimental still only has 4.6rc1 | 08:42 |
| zhanes | and today Orion777 gives me a idea to satart up nvidia-settings working better using a .desktop configuration | 08:43 |
| Tm_T | xjjk: I think it will be available when KDE 4.4 SC beta1 is available | 08:45 |
| xjjk | Tm_T: ah, makes sense | 08:45 |
| zhanes | well, in lucid, not? | 08:46 |
| phant0m_ | anyone else having flash problems? | 08:47 |
| Tm_T | zhanes: there yes | 08:48 |
| zhanes | i'am | 08:48 |
| zhanes | i ahve | 08:48 |
| zhanes | i have | 08:48 |
| Orion777 | how do I see if my firewall is running? | 08:49 |
| zhanes | problem with flashplayer 10 crashing when in fullscreen mode | 08:49 |
| phant0m_ | my wont play bbc iplayer | 08:49 |
| zhanes | bbc works fine here | 08:49 |
| phant0m_ | orion goto system admin | 08:50 |
| Orion777 | where is it? | 08:50 |
| phant0m_ | system at the top left | 08:50 |
| phant0m_ | your firewall should be in there | 08:50 |
| Orion777 | where is system | 08:50 |
| zhanes | maybe your problem is script blocker in your browser | 08:50 |
| phant0m_ | orion where applications and places are at the top left of the screen | 08:51 |
| phant0m_ | zhanes are you on about noscript? | 08:51 |
| Orion777 | phantom, there's nothing there | 08:52 |
| Orion777 | on the desktop? | 08:52 |
| zhanes | i use noscript | 08:52 |
| phant0m_ | me too zhanes | 08:52 |
| zhanes | so, unblock bbc | 08:52 |
| phant0m_ | i have it doesnt do anything works fine on 4od | 08:52 |
| phant0m_ | just not on iplayer | 08:53 |
| Orion777 | phantom, there is nothing like that in upper left of desktop | 08:53 |
| zhanes | if persists, go to preferences and allow permitions for java and left only noscript managing scripts | 08:53 |
| Orion777 | zhanes, do you know what he's talking abouut? | 08:53 |
| phant0m_ | ??ok cheers zhanes | 08:53 |
| zhanes | wich firefox version are you using? | 08:53 |
| phant0m_ | latest | 08:53 |
| phant0m_ | orion alt f2 | 08:54 |
| phant0m_ | then type in the name of your firewall | 08:54 |
| Orion777 | but the firewall is built into kabuntu | 08:54 |
| zhanes | firefox 3.5 has many bugs | 08:54 |
| Orion777 | iptables | 08:54 |
| phant0m_ | hmmm hope they pan tht one out soon zhanes | 08:54 |

| phant0m_ | i use gnome | 08:56 |
| phant0m_ | so i cant help you there pal | 08:56 |
| phant0m_ | sorry | 08:57 |
| zhanes | Orion, wich firewall you are using? | 08:57 |
| r00t_ninja_ | whats the problem? | 08:57 |
| phant0m_ | hmmm thinking about downgrading firefox | 08:57 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: iptables | 08:57 |
| zhanes | iptables? is it a firewall? | 08:57 |
| r00t_ninja_ | yes | 08:57 |
| phant0m_ | yes | 08:57 |
| Orion777 | rootninja, I want to see if my firewall is running | 08:57 |
| zhanes | and is it good? | 08:58 |
| phant0m_ | yes | 08:58 |
| phant0m_ | it keeps things organized | 08:58 |
| Orion777 | where do I find out? | 08:58 |
| zhanes | i'm using firestarter, its pretty | 08:58 |
| phant0m_ | i use firestarter at the moment | 08:58 |
| r00t_ninja_ | iptables -L | 08:58 |
| r00t_ninja_ | firestarter is justa frontend for iptables | 08:58 |
| zhanes | have guard dog too, so good and pretty | 08:58 |
| Orion777 | I was told firestarter is just a configuration utility, than once you run it its irrelevant | 08:58 |
| zhanes | oh, so is a good firewall | 08:59 |
| phant0m_ | ive heard that too orion | 08:59 |
| zhanes | Orion, use the wizzard | 08:59 |
| meowbuntu | hi how can i change the default style of boot loader for grub 2. | 08:59 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: it is | 08:59 |
| phant0m_ | orion it works in pretty much the same way as any firewall just better than alot of them thats all | 09:00 |
| Orion777 | rootninja, iptables -l is not an option and there is no option in iptables to start firewall or check on firewall | 09:00 |
| zhanes | firestart is a frontend of iptables, i have knowing abot this today for first time =P | 09:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: -l | 09:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: -l | 09:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | -L | 09:01 |
| Orion777 | yes, that's what I did | 09:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | capital? | 09:01 |
| phant0m_ | case sensitive orion | 09:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | and as root | 09:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | eg | 09:01 |
| r00t_ninja_ | sudo iptables -L | 09:01 |
| phant0m_ | sudo su | 09:01 |
| Orion777 | no, I put lowercase | 09:02 |
| Orion777 | it says -l requires an argument | 09:02 |
| phant0m_ | upper case | 09:02 |
| r00t_ninja_ | put uppercase | 09:02 |
| phant0m_ | put uppercase | 09:02 |
| phant0m_ | lol | 09:02 |
| Orion777 | k, its saying a bunch of random stuff down the screen | 09:03 |
| r00t_ninja_ | those are your rules | 09:03 |
| r00t_ninja_ | it will be running | 09:03 |
| Orion777 | yes but is it on? | 09:03 |
| r00t_ninja_ | yes | 09:03 |
| r00t_ninja_ | it is always on | 09:03 |
| r00t_ninja_ | it just depends on the rules you have set with firestarter | 09:03 |
| Orion777 | k, well I set my rules with firestarter autoconfig.is that ok? | 09:03 |
| Orion777 | I didn't manually set anything | 09:04 |
| phant0m_ | decide for yourself orion | 09:04 |
| Orion777 | because I don't have the expertise for that..don't any of them set the config for you? | 09:04 |
| phant0m_ | its ok if thats what you want to do with the firewall | 09:04 |
| r00t_ninja_ | firestarter does | 09:04 |
| r00t_ninja_ | you use firestarter to edit the firewall rules | 09:04 |
| Orion777 | and once I set it I can close and forget it? | 09:04 |
| r00t_ninja_ | yes | 09:05 |
| Orion777 | k, well I don't know how to set rules correctly so I'll just use the auto config | 09:05 |
| phant0m_ | take it your quite new to ubuntu orion ? | 09:05 |
| Orion777 | yes | 09:05 |
| phant0m_ | ok brb | 09:05 |
| Orion777 | but already I've managed to make it visually on par with win 7 and running all the basic stuff I use | 09:05 |
| zhanes | put a firestarter.desktop in autostart | 09:05 |
| r00t_ninja_ | zhanes: there is no need | 09:06 |
| phant0m_ | http://www.linuxtopia.org/ | 09:06 |
| r00t_ninja_ | firestarter is just a friendly configuration editor for iptables | 09:06 |
| phant0m_ | look at this orion | 09:06 |
| r00t_ninja_ | iptables is a kernel module | 09:06 |
| zhanes | why not, what his problem. i cant understand | 09:06 |
| r00t_ninja_ | *buntu will load iptables on boot | 09:06 |
| zhanes | but have a option to autostart on boot in firestarter wizzard | 09:07 |
| Orion777 | mine doesn't have that | 09:07 |
| Orion777 | did you get the version from the actual website? | 09:07 |
| zhanes | always has, dont? | 09:08 |
| r00t_ninja_ | it doesnt matter though | 09:08 |
| r00t_ninja_ | your firewall is enabled on boot | 09:08 |
| zhanes | start firestarter at boot | 09:08 |
| Orion777 | when I loaded firestarter it said my firewall was off | 09:10 |
| Orion777 | and it has no autoconfig | 09:10 |
| r00t_ninja_ | make sure you turn it on | 09:11 |
| r00t_ninja_ | after you turn it on you can forget about it | 09:11 |
| Orion777 | it has no rules in it though | 09:11 |
| r00t_ninja_ | you have to set them | 09:11 |
| Orion777 | I dont know how, that's the problem | 09:12 |
| Orion777 | I would like one to set the best rules for me | 09:12 |
| r00t_ninja_ | ill install it and have a look around | 09:13 |
| Orion777 | k, thanks | 09:13 |

| r00t_ninja_ | Orion777: try gufw | 09:20 |
| r00t_ninja_ | its much easier | 09:20 |
| Orion777 | I tried that but I still don't know how to manual setup a firewall | 09:22 |
| r00t_ninja_ | what do you mean? | 09:23 |
| zhanes | run firestarter wizzard | 09:23 |
| Orion777 | I did, but when I look in rules there aren't any | 09:23 |
| zhanes | dont it can save configuation? | 09:24 |
| zhanes | when you look in rules there no more your optmized configuration? | 09:24 |
| Orion777 | there aren't any rules and I'm not knowledgable enough to manually create all the rules for a firewall | 09:25 |
| Orion777 | gufw is manual also, so is guarddog | 09:26 |
| r00t_ninja_ | gufw you can just tell it to block all incoming connections | 09:27 |
| r00t_ninja_ | you should just do that | 09:27 |
| Orion777 | it'll still allow everything including instant messaging to work? | 09:27 |
| Orion777 | downloading and everything | 09:27 |
| r00t_ninja_ | yes | 09:27 |
| laboratorio | it's very good | 09:28 |
| zhanes | very stange, cause here i runned the configuration just one time | 09:28 |
| laboratorio | One time? | 09:28 |
| zhanes | and i'm using with same configuration of first time | 09:28 |
| r00t_ninja_ | open it up , tick the enabled box and then set default to deny | 09:28 |
| r00t_ninja_ | oh well im off to sleep | 09:30 |
| zhanes | yes, i was made the configuration throught the wizzard in instalation of firestarter | 09:30 |
| Orion777 | it has basic options but no rules for the actual firewall | 09:32 |
| zhanes | no rules, explain it to me | 09:33 |
| zhanes | you are calling about ICMP filte? | 09:34 |
| Orion777 | it has no wizard config for what to do with tcp or certain ports or any of that | 09:34 |
| zhanes | do you want to open tpc ports? | 09:35 |
| zhanes | do you want to open tcp ports? | 09:36 |
| zhanes | if yes, you can configure it in event list | 09:37 |
| zhanes | if yes, you can configure it in events list | 09:37 |
| meowbuntu | does ubuntu/kubuntu come with grub or grub 2 by default | 09:43 |

| Ranarama | I'm not sure how I did it, think I messed around in alsamixer and the sound started working, but today, after I turned on my computer, the sound is gone again. What might have happened? | 10:42 |

| meowbuntu | Ranarama, you need to disable the onboard one in bios to get sound card working | 10:48 |

| rav | hello. lately i've seen some problems with kwin, such as poor redrawing of window title bars, sometimes the kwin process begins consuming a lot of CPU, among other things. is this a bug? | 13:40 |
| Kretchfoop | sorry, did anyone have an answer? | 13:42 |
| shadeslayer | Kretchfoop: maybe because you deleted it | 13:44 |
| Kretchfoop | shadeslayer: not intentionally... | 13:44 |
| shadeslayer | rav: i dont think you can | 13:44 |
| shadeslayer | Kretchfoop: well just right click and click add panel > Panel | 13:44 |
| shadeslayer | Kretchfoop: then keep adding whatever widgets you want.. | 13:45 |
| rav | shadeslayer: is it a bug? | 13:45 |
| Kretchfoop | maybe i didn't phrase my question clearly, i have no menu bars. All desktop. | 13:45 |
| shadeslayer | rav: why would it be? | 13:45 |
| shadeslayer | Kretchfoop: yeah,you mean you have the wallpaper,thats it right | 13:46 |
| kindofabuzz | how can i turn off the tooltip popup on the kicker? | 13:46 |
| rav | shadeslayer: because it didn't happen in jaunty. and the over-consumption of cpu is sporadic | 13:46 |
| shadeslayer | rav: oops i meant kindofabuzz | 13:48 |
| shadeslayer | kindofabuzz: see my message to rav | 13:48 |
| kindofabuzz | shadeslayer: yeah i just read that it's not possible | 13:48 |
| shadeslayer | kindofabuzz: :) | 13:48 |
| kindofabuzz | well that's kinda dumb | 13:49 |
| shadeslayer | why? | 13:49 |

| zhanes | jayce, run aptitude | 19:18 |
| jayce | zhanes - just "aptitude" at terminal? | 19:18 |
| zhanes | yeah | 19:18 |
| jayce | I also just ran dpkg -configure -a before I asked in here, and I got Errors while processing - kstars kdeedu | 19:19 |
| jayce | think thats important? :( | 19:19 |
| zhanes | they will find a solution for your case, then if it solution is good for you, you can do authority to aptitude do the modifications | 19:19 |
| jayce | I ran aptitude, in red at the bottom it says suggest 1 install... what do I do? | 19:20 |
| zhanes | i suggest to you accept suggestion | 19:21 |
| jayce | I would, if I knew how | 19:21 |
| zhanes | aptitude is "magic" | 19:21 |
| jayce | I cant navigate to where apply is | 19:21 |

| zhanes | kubuntu karmic or www.mozilla.com | 19:22 |
| zhanes | do you run aptitude? | 19:23 |
| jayce | I ran aptitude in terminal | 19:23 |
| jayce | thats as far as I get | 19:23 |
| jayce | it says theres 1 broken package but like, I have no idea what to do. I dont know how to apply it. | 19:24 |
| simo_ | to install it? | 19:24 |
| zhanes | what package have given trouble to you? | 19:24 |
| jayce | oh wiat, I didnt realize you could click around here | 19:24 |
| jayce | I dont know, it just simply says theres 1 suggested install | 19:24 |
| jayce | and theres 2 packages partially installed, which are | 19:24 |
| jayce | kstars kdeedu | 19:25 |
| zhanes | do you need kstars and kdeedu? | 19:25 |
| simo_ | tar.bz2 | 19:25 |
| jayce | I dont know what they are, lol | 19:25 |
| jayce | the only thing I did was installed kubuntu 9.04 and updated the PPA to KDE 4.3.2 | 19:25 |
| zhanes | lol | 19:25 |
| jayce | whcih absolutely sucked, by the way | 19:25 |
| jayce | ran 3 guides and the first 2 failed, ran the 3rd and it worked | 19:26 |
| zhanes | well if you want to hold this package, do it | 19:26 |
| jayce | thank God for Clonezilla - made an image of my partition before I destroyed it. | 19:26 |
| jayce | do what..? | 19:26 |
| zhanes | aptitude kstars kdeedu | 19:26 |
| jayce | apt-get install? | 19:27 |
| Mamarok | well, aptitude alone will not do much | 19:27 |
| Mamarok | jayce: sudo aptitude install kstarts kdeedu, thry that command | 19:27 |
| Mamarok | try* | 19:27 |
| Xand3r | hey folks i am using kubuntu 9.10 and an intel graficard, is ther e an easy way to dualview? | 19:27 |
| zhanes | no, just it --> "aptitude reinstall kstars kdeedu" | 19:27 |
| simo_ | zhanes_ and the other firefox ? | 19:27 |
| jayce | E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 19:28 |
| kubian | jayce: why 9.04 when 9.10 is out? | 19:28 |
| simo_ | i have to remove it ? | 19:28 |

| jayce | because 9.10 sucks | 19:28 |
| jayce | every time I install the broadcom STA driver on this laptop with karmic, it crashes | 19:28 |
| Xand3r | Mamarok: ok, but thanks | 19:28 |
| Mamarok | jayce: not true, it works very well | 19:28 |
| jayce | no problems in jaunty, crashes in karmic | 19:28 |
| kubian | jayce: ridiculous..9.10 is already at 4.3.4 | 19:28 |
| Mamarok | jayce: what crashes? with what applications? | 19:28 |
| zhanes | no, just it --> "sudo aptitude reinstall kstars kdeedu" | 19:28 |
| jayce | mamarok - I have 4 systems, all 4 failed to handle karmic. 1 crashes by installing the broadcom driver, the other 3 are unusable because of the fact that I have multiple hard drives in those desktops and karmic doenst detect them right - a common problem with karmic. | 19:28 |
| jayce | kubian - no kidding, 4.3.2 is the highest I can get with jaunty, and since jaunty WORKS, Ill take it | 19:29 |
| jayce | mamarok - everything. When I activate the driver, the ENTIRE laptop locks up 100%. I cant do anything whatsoever. | 19:29 |
| Mamarok | jayce: I have two drives + 1 external HD, all UUID are set in the /etc/fstab file, works like a charm | 19:29 |
| jayce | I power off, boot up, log back in, driver is not activated and Im back tow orking. I activate - bam, crashes. | 19:29 |
| jimmy51_ | i've got my mobile successfully paired with my kubuntu box (bluetooth). i can send a file from the PC to the phone if i have the phone in discovery mode and set up an adhoc connection. is there a uitlity that lets me send multiple files or that lets me take advantage of the paired connection? | 19:29 |
| jayce | mamarok - consider yourself lucky. Myself, along with a lot of other users, were not so lucky. | 19:29 |
| Mamarok | jayce: maybe the dirver you use is not adapted? | 19:29 |
| jayce | mamarok - no idea. Im using hte same driver in jaunty as I am karmic, yet karmic locks up. | 19:30 |
| jayce | I hate to cut this short but I have a meeting to go to guys | 19:30 |
| Mamarok | jayce: where does this driver come from? | 19:30 |
| jayce | take it easy an dthanks for the help thus far | 19:30 |
| jayce | mamarok - hardware drivers in the menu | 19:30 |
| jayce | gotta bounce | 19:30 |
| Mamarok | well, you should use the karmic driver then, using software compiled for a previous version is not a good idea | 19:30 |

| __Adam__ | not happy | 21:03 |
| Galvatron | Un-screw it with sudo aptitude update | 21:04 |

| __Adam__ | as in stated in the upgrade notes | 21:15 |
| __Adam__ | well thanks for your help | 21:16 |
| mtltemplar | so why are there no xlibs in the kubuntu tree? | 21:16 |
| __Adam__ | time to spread the word that once again, linux fails to be easy | 21:16 |
| __Adam__ | and ppl think linux can get a market share on the desktops | 21:16 |
| BluesKaj | __Adam__, you can always change the debs in the sources.list to the next release jaunty and do the dist-upgrade | 21:17 |
| BluesKaj | that's really odd that you're having so much trouble tho , __Adam__ | 21:18 |
| __Adam__ | is it? | 21:18 |
| __Adam__ | there must be 4 diffient commands, and none of them say there is an upgrade | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | unless you have your sources locked in your package maintainer | 21:19 |
| zhanes | BluesKaj every time that upgrade kubuntu is necessary to do dist-upgrade? | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, from jaunty you can upgrade using sudo do-release-upgrade | 21:20 |
| noobC | How can I set dolphin to maintain a consistent view, details+"zoom" level | 21:21 |
| zhanes | and it will upgrade all database, including version of distro? | 21:21 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, if you are on jaunty , yes | 21:21 |
| JontheEchidna | noobC: in the "General" pane of Dolphin's config, there should be a checkbox to "use common view properties for all folders" | 21:22 |
| JontheEchidna | I think this is what you are after | 21:22 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, the command doesn't seem to work for older distros | 21:22 |
| mtltemplar | id like to comment on the two comments you made adam about time to spread the word linux fails and the whole market share comment... | 21:22 |
| mtltemplar | i would say, and therein lies the problem: the linux population is diluted with ppl who should be using micro$haft. if you cant hack it in the open source world, retreat to the relative comfort of micro$haft. we don't want you... :) | 21:22 |
| zhanes | cause my version is a upgrade by packages and when i go to synaptic, synaptic says that can find the distro version | 21:22 |
| mtltemplar | and i will follow that with an LOL :) | 21:22 |
| mtltemplar | all in good faith | 21:22 |
| zhanes | do you understood my problem, BluesKaj? | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | mtltemplar, that kind of talk isn't necessary here | 21:23 |
| dloring | mlttemplar, perhaps you can help a willing haker with a case of spontaneous breakage? :) | 21:23 |
| noobC | Yep, thanks | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, you haven't expressed any problem , you only asked about upgrading | 21:24 |
| __Adam__ | mtltemplar: so i should also replace my 4 debian servers at work with windows? | 21:24 |
| __Adam__ | :) | 21:24 |
| zhanes | cause my version is a upgrade by packages and when i go to synaptic, synaptic says that can find the distro version | 21:24 |
| zhanes | BluesKaj my version is a upgrade by packages and when i go to synaptic, synaptic says that can find the distro version | 21:24 |
| mtltemplar | blueskaj, im sorry to have to say all that but i see that kind of talk way too often on these channels and im like do you really want to get help here or not? its just super frustrating to me. i hang in the gentoo irc all the time and im like, if you dont like it dont use it. just dont blast it. sorry if it offended | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | mtltemplar, well we encourage ppl to keep trying linux , even tho the frustration level is bit higher , the rewards overcome that | 21:25 |
| __Adam__ | to be fair, its why apple wants so much control over what you can and cant do | 21:26 |
| dloring | I second that. | 21:26 |
| dloring | I couldn't have the working environment I have developed in any other OS. | 21:26 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, just because you used synaptic to upgrade doesn't mean you have to keep using it to upgrade , you can do so in the commandline as well and it's simpler and faster | 21:27 |
| dloring | But does anyone know why Plasma decided a couple reboots ago to eat my configuration and set all panels to Always Visible and Left-positioned? | 21:28 |
| __Adam__ | i lost my comic panel :( | 21:28 |
| zhanes | Can I solve this dsitro problem? | 21:28 |
| BluesKaj | dloring, did you upgrade kde ? | 21:28 |
| Orion777 | are the apps that come with kubuntu sufficient or should I install vlc, audacious, bittorrent etc? | 21:29 |
| dloring | the upgrades that came down a few days ago? yeah. Did that screw things up? | 21:29 |
| zhanes | hi Orion777, are you fine? | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, what distro version ? | 21:29 |
| mtltemplar | i wasnt necessarily intending to blast you adam its just frustrating to see that so many times from ppl that just dont know what you are talking about (tho obviously that isnt you). i am just so tired of ppl 'trying' linux and not really 'trying with intent to make it work' and then blasting it, that im just suggesting ppl go back to windows then... :) lol | 21:29 |
| mtltemplar | but nuf said on that | 21:29 |
| zhanes | vlc is good to listen and see internet streams, audacious is good for edit wave files | 21:30 |
| Orion777 | is ktorrent good? | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | Orion777, yes | 21:30 |
| dloring | Orion777: VLC is always good to have up your sleeve, and I assign mp3 playing to it so that playing standlone mp3's doesn't mess with Amarok. | 21:30 |
| zhanes | ktorrent is very ood for me | 21:31 |
| Orion777 | I didn't see vlc in kpackage | 21:31 |
| zhanes | ktorrent is very good for me | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | !version | zhanes | 21:31 |
| ubottu | zhanes: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 21:31 |
| nicklas_ | ktorrent is the best | 21:31 |
| zhanes | ktorrent is better than windows torrents programs | 21:31 |
| dloring | Ktorrent is impressive, and the plugins make it as good as anything I have used. | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | ktorrent is much like utorrent | 21:31 |
| Orion777 | cool, I usually use utorrent | 21:32 |
| dloring | Could use magnet link support, but that's a tiny problem. | 21:32 |
| Orion777 | s'ok I dont use magnet links | 21:32 |
| zhanes | BluesKaj --> !version: event not found | 21:32 |
| BluesKaj | Orion777, some ppl even run utorrent in wine on kubuntu | 21:32 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, open the konsole , lsb_release -a | 21:33 |
| zhanes | sudo apt-get install vlc-nox | 21:33 |
| nicklas_ | i wonder how kde 4.4 will look and work with kubuntu | 21:33 |
| Orion777 | anyone tried fancy tasks widget? its awesome, it removes the text from the taskbar and makes programs just appear as icons like in mac osx or win dockers | 21:33 |
| Orion777 | each open program only takes up the size of the icon | 21:33 |
| dloring | I have never had any luck installing any widgets. | 21:34 |
| zhanes | BluesKaj --> No LSB modules are available. | 21:34 |
| nicklas_ | Orion777: what you mean, there are a widget you can have instead of the taskbar? | 21:34 |
| Orion777 | sudo apt-get install vlc-nox will install vlc? | 21:34 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, sudo dpkg --configure -a | 21:35 |
| === saint_ is now known as Guest67514 | ||
| Orion777 | nicklas'-no, it replaces the part that shows what programs are open which are usually long and have text with them..you know Firefox-The worlds best browser or whatever...this widget rmoves all the texdt on the taskbar and just leaves the open programs icons | 21:36 |
| zhanes | Orion "sudo apt-get install vlc" only | 21:37 |
| Orion777 | shrinks all the app bars to the size of an icon | 21:37 |
| zhanes | maybe you will need mediubuntu in you repositories | 21:37 |
| zhanes | BluesKaj, untill No LSB modules are available. | 21:38 |
| Orion777 | zhanes, sudo apt-get mediubuntu ? | 21:39 |
| Orion777 | I mean with install in there | 21:39 |
| BluesKaj | !medibuntu | 21:39 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 21:39 |

| Orion777 | so mediubuntu lets me play special file types? | 21:50 |
| Orion777 | its like codecs or permissions? | 21:50 |

| zhanes | alright | 21:50 |
| BluesKaj | Orion777, alt+f2 , kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list . Copy and paste the medibuntu repos into the text , then save it and do sudo apt-get update in the terminal/konsole | 21:52 |

| jcook_ | I know thanks. Still have the problem with java-plugin tho it "" depends on firefox | 21:59 |
| BluesKaj | zhanes, did you say yes ? | 21:59 |
| zhanes | there not appeared any option | 21:59 |
| zhanes | automatic instalation | 21:59 |
| dloring | jcook_, to answer your problem, it depends on *a* browser, so if you were able to override that dependency, it is unlikely to break. But you'd have to look up how to do that. | 21:59 |

| Orion777 | zhanes, is there a way to change bootup splash or disable it? | 22:44 |
| zhanes | then add task manager | 22:44 |
| drykill_ | ok its the activity bar | 22:44 |
| drykill_ | thanks | 22:44 |
| zhanes | there a way yes | 22:45 |
| zhanes | have some themes in repository, but not all is running | 22:45 |
| zhanes | you can download bootsplash at kde-looks.org | 22:45 |
| Orion777 | and how to install it? | 22:45 |
| zhanes | sudo apt-get usplash kubuntu-usplash mythbuntu-usplash and anothers, see in adept | 22:47 |
| Orion777 | hmm,I have not used adept, what is it | 22:48 |
| zhanes | to change usplash themes change the link in /etc/usplash-artwork.so to your preferedtheme.so | 22:48 |
| zhanes | adept is a package management program | 22:49 |
| Orion777 | you're saying if I want usplash(a theme?) I say sudo apt-get usplash? | 22:49 |
| zhanes | you can use synptic so, both are graphical package managers | 22:49 |
| jayce | guys - I got a broken package on my system after updating KDE 4.2.2 to KDE 4.3.2 on jaunty | 22:49 |
| Orion777 | I should stop using kpackage kit? | 22:49 |
| zhanes | yeah sudo apt-get install usplash then usplash-themes | 22:50 |
| zhanes | have usplash-mythbuntu usplash-ubuntu usplash-kubuntu usplash-debian and anothers | 22:51 |
| zhanes | and in kde-looks.org have a lot of personalized usplash themes for bootsplash | 22:51 |
| Orion777 | ok I just put in "sudo get-apt install usplash" that is correct? | 22:52 |
| zhanes | you can use kpackagekit with adept and synaptic, all are goods | 22:52 |
| zhanes | choose your prefered package manager | 22:52 |
| zhanes | yeah | 22:52 |
| zhanes | you can put sudo apt-get install usplash-mythbuntu usplash-ubuntu usplash-kubuntu usplash-debian and anothers | 22:53 |
| Orion777 | now I use "sudo apt-get install (theme name)" or download new theme and change link | 22:53 |
| zhanes | you can do both | 22:53 |
| zhanes | if themes in repositories you dislike them | 22:54 |
| zhanes | download from kde-looks.org your prefered | 22:54 |
| Orion777 | but either method I have to change the link right | 22:54 |
| Orion777 | where do these themes go? I mean what folder | 22:54 |
| zhanes | i dont know, i sue changing the link | 22:55 |
| zhanes | i dont know, i use changing the link | 22:55 |
| === CoRE is now known as Guest22165 | ||
| Orion777 | it is a link to a file in one of my folders though right? | 22:56 |
| zhanes | kde-look.org splashes here http://www.kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=61x66x67x68x79&PHPSESSID=42e1d93658e45c2c09ab4a947a61f931 | 22:56 |
| jayce | aaaaaaanybody know? | 22:57 |
| zhanes | a good bootsplash to karmic http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Air+Splashy?content=109127 | 22:58 |
| zhanes | the command to change link is "sudo cp -ln /your/folder/splash/your-splash.so /etc/usplash-artwork.so" | 23:00 |
| Orion777 | zhanes, there is no usplash artwork file | 23:01 |
| zhanes | where? | 23:01 |
| === CoRE is now known as Guest75878 | ||
| Orion777 | in etc | 23:01 |
| zhanes | wait | 23:02 |
| Orion777 | also, airsplashy bootscreen is not a usplash boot screen, usplash will do all of them? | 23:03 |
| BluesKaj | jayce, sudo dpkg --clear-avail | 23:04 |
| zhanes | Orion 777 | 23:07 |
| zhanes | the command to change link is "sudo cp -ln /your/folder/splash/your-splash.so /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so" | 23:07 |
| zhanes | Orion777 will be need to update kernel | 23:09 |
| Orion777 | I can't find a splash folder | 23:09 |
| zhanes | BluesKaj, do you know the command to update kernel? | 23:09 |
| zhanes | you can put usplash.so in any folder | 23:10 |
| BluesKaj | !kernel | 23:10 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 23:10 |
| zhanes | but corret folder is /usr/lib/usplash/ | 23:11 |
| jaldhar | I presume it is known that the 4.3.4 packages for karmic are screwed up? Any workarounds? | 23:11 |
| zhanes | !dpkg | 23:11 |
| ubottu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 23:11 |
| BluesKaj | !linux-image | zhanes | 23:12 |
| BluesKaj | bbiab | 23:13 |
| zhanes | the command to update kernle is sudo update-initramfs -u | 23:13 |
| jaldhar | kde-window-manager segfaults every time you alt-tab, plasma doesn't start and that means you can't get to the network-manager applet | 23:14 |
| zhanes | the complete informations to update kernel is http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3096576.0 | 23:14 |
| zhanes | there are all alternatives to manage usplash boot screen http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3096576.0 | 23:15 |
| zhanes | Orion777: Do you can do it? | 23:19 |
| zhanes | the command to change link is "sudo cp -ln /usr/lib/usplash/your-splash.so /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so" | 23:23 |
| zhanes | the command to update kernle is sudo update-initramfs -u | 23:23 |
| Orion777 | I just don't understand how to | 23:25 |
| Orion777 | I used "sudo apt-get install usplash" I don't understand the rest | 23:25 |
| Orion777 | the usplash artwork file isn't even a file, its a shortcut | 23:25 |
| Orion777 | its really usplash-theme-kubuntu.so | 23:25 |
| zhanes | do you have installed other themes? | 23:28 |
| zhanes | you can download themes and put in /usr/lib/usplash/ folder | 23:28 |
| zhanes | then you can link the library by using that command that i printed here | 23:29 |
| Orion777 | so lets say a theme is called xytheme...I don't need to download it, I just type sudo apt-get install xytheme? | 23:29 |
| Orion777 | or I download it, but where do I put the file? | 23:29 |
| Orion777 | oh I put my new theme file in usr/lib/usplash? | 23:29 |
| Orion777 | download it there I mean | 23:29 |
| zhanes | lets do a change together, do you agree? | 23:29 |
