[00:00] how can i do that??? [00:01] giulia: i used gdebi-kde to install local pacakges, not sure how kpackagekit does it === jono is now known as jono2 [00:11] nichts zu sagen [00:22] so, how do I reset a forgotten password? === six is now known as six6 [00:25] Hello?

[00:28] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=kubuntu+usb&l=1 [00:28] and no [00:28] If you just boot to console mode, you'll be auto logged into root and can reset from there. [00:29] sorry, I meant for the irc [00:30] barletta, sure, using unetbootin , or this [00:30] !usb | barletta [00:30] barletta: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:30] barletta, live persistent if you wish to save changes made [00:31] r4v3nsw0rd: no clue. an ircop would probably be most helpful [00:31] what's an ircop? [00:31] r4v3nsw0rd, go to #freenode and request ; also using the lmgtfy links are not helpful here [00:31] ok [00:32] irc operator [00:32] privledged user [00:32] r4v3nsw0rd, /join #freenode and say I would like a password reset email please [00:33] thanks === jono2 is now known as jono [01:20] hey guys kubuntu (kde) noob and looking for something to search for files, GNOME has a search option in the file manage anything similar in kde? [01:20] strigi [01:20] i think [01:20] thanks maco is that installed by default? [01:20] i dont know [01:21] i've tried using the search in dolphin and it never finds anything :) [01:23] Has anybody had this problem? You go to install ubuntu and it wont work. You try the alternate cd and it will install but when you boot up it shows the ubuntu logo and then sits black forever. and ever. and ever.??? [01:23] I have been stuck for a week now with no fix [01:23] sounds like broken graphics drivers to me [01:23] i can install win7, winxp and osx86 [01:23] they all run great [01:23] echotone, do you by anychance have an ati graphics card? [01:23] but i hate them [01:23] nvidia 9500gt [01:23] ah [01:24] boot in to safe mode and have a look at your xorg.conf [01:24] i am running puppy linux right now. [01:24] i never get an option to boot into safe mode [01:24] then mount your ubuntu partition [01:24] have a look at your xorg. [01:25] i dont have one. i can make one then come back... [01:25] eh? if you're on puppy linux, on the same machine i assume, right? [01:25] yeah. [01:25] but i reformatted a little while ago [01:25] you don't need to go anywhere, mount the ubuntu partition.. [01:25] oh if you dont have ubuntu on it then nm. [01:25] i dont have an ubuntu partiton. i formatted my drive. [01:26] i am going to make one thn come back [01:26] alright [01:26] should i use 9.10 or 8.04? [02:01] how do I leave a channel? [02:06] my karmic KDE just took a dive. i upgraded to the latest KDE SC and that didn't help, upgraded my video drivers to nvidia 190 and 195, nuked ~/.kde, nothing has helped. after login the screen goes black for 1 second and then goes back to login. [02:06] here is my /var/log/kdm.log: (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard [config/dbus] couldn't register object path [02:08] strangely, my mounts are also acting up. i get many 'none' entries in the first column, and I have to start nfs manually using: mount -t nfs -a (output) http://pastebin.ca/raw/1712774 [02:12] prefrontal: do you have freetype installed? [02:13] hi emma [02:13] Hello there [02:13] How are you? [02:14] r00t_ninja, of course, it just stopped working. that is a red herring. [02:15] tried running nvidia-xconfig? [02:18] what makes you think it has to do with my xorg.conf [02:18] there are no errors in my xorg log file [02:19] well it wont exactly hurt to configure your xorg.conf for use with your nvidia card [02:22] Dolphin crashes on me everytime i try to browse a samba share. [02:22] Get a trace from it [02:23] and that means? [02:24] could you try launching dolphin from a terminal and see if there is any usefull output [02:25] doint that now [02:26] just hitting Network i get errors in terminal. a lot of Unsupported operations [02:26] error in thread === root is now known as Guest12743 [02:28] kindofabuzz: close it and run dolphin | tee ~/dolphin.samba.log [02:30] DaskreecH: ok, nothing in log [02:32] Kcrash: Application 'dolphin' crashing... sock_file=/home/blah/.kde/socket-kubuntu/kdeinit4__0 [02:32] a socket error [02:33] anything i can do? i am using 4.3.4 if that matter. i don't know if it did this on 4.3.2 or whatever the default is [02:34] it was a pain just to get sharing to be an option, no it doesn't work :( [02:34] *now [02:37] kindofabuzz: how many shares have you tried it with? [02:38] DaskreecH: one [02:39] actually i don't even need samba, no windows machines on network. i just want to share a simple music dir on my laptop with my desktop [02:41] sshfs ? [02:41] samba is never the solution for UNIX <-> UNIX sharing [02:42] yeah lemme get rid of this samba crap. i don't even remember what i installed [02:44] DaskreecH: so sshfs would be the best bet? [02:47] kindofabuzz: If you want it persistent and in your FHS [02:48] Otherwise a fish:// link works for KDE apps [02:49] hmm, maybe I should reboot into kubuntu tonight. give it another shot. [02:49] DaskreecH: let me ask this. I've used NFS before and when one computer was down Nautilus would lock up trying to read the NFS on the down computer. Will that be a problem with sshfs and with dolphin or was that just a Nautilus problem? [02:50] That's an NFS locking problem there are a few ways around it but sshfs should be easier [02:50] NFS is much more of a known quantity though [02:50] ok thanks [02:51] YOu can do some fun stuff like have a local mount and a remote NFS mounted over that. If the NFS mount fails the local mount rises and becomes visible [02:51] hmm k [02:51] BUt Samba is the wrong solution [02:52] i found this in my xorg (WW) Warning, couldn't open module freetype (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0) [02:54] check if you have freetype installed [02:56] yeah, i have libfreetype6-dev and libfreetype6 [03:14] Can Gnome and KDE be installed at the same time? [03:14] yes [03:15] How do you switch between them? [03:15] from the greeter [03:15] to to options session [03:15] and set the session you want to start === administrador is now known as administrador_ [03:16] The greeter can be either gdm or kde? [03:18] hi [03:19] what is wrong with my filesystem? all my mounts say none next to them, and i have to be sudo to touch anything in /tmp [03:19] output of mount: http://pastebin.ca/raw/1712774 [03:21] Squideshi: yea both can load kde and gnome sessions [03:22] Squideshi: Yes. The only caveat that I know of is that GDM allows Gnome control of the computer and KDE allows KDE control of the computer other than that they are the same [03:22] prefrontal: that how it should be [03:23] you can pick which session you log into anyway [03:23] you certainly shouldn't need to be root to touch tmp [03:23] well that yea [03:23] but the none part is good [03:23] prefrontal: ls -l / [03:23] check the permissions of tmp [03:23] prefrontal: shold be rwx for all [03:24] should t actually [03:24] ok i did this now it works sudo chmod -R a+rwx /tmp [03:25] prefrontal: wrong [03:25] drwxrwxrwt 15 root root 4096 2009-12-12 21:16 tmp [03:25] that's the correct permission of /tmp [03:26] my command achieves that [03:28] prefrontal: i when i said all i meant user, group and others for /tmp [03:28] not recursively [03:28] reboot to clear out /tmp [03:29] i cleared out tmp before i ran the command [03:29] ok lol [03:29] then your fine [03:30] no my kde still doesn't work [03:30] more likely cause is the x server [03:30] patebin your xorg log [03:30] (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0 [03:31] thats not a prob [03:31] it's an error [03:31] not a fatal one [03:31] and the error that causes kdm to crash [03:31] it shows up at the end of kdm.log [03:31] nah its something else [03:31] what [03:31] show me the whole log [03:32] http://pastebin.ca/raw/1712826 [03:34] looks like x start up fime [03:35] then it could be kdm [03:35] does kdm start up? [03:35] and how the log on screen? [03:35] it gets to the login screen. when i log in it turns black for a sec then goes back to login screen. kdm.log: http://pastebin.ca/1712829 [03:37] delete your kde directory [03:37] for that user [03:37] and restart dbus [03:40] brb [03:45] prefrontal: Don't delete your kde directory [03:45] it recreates it automatically.. [03:45] chibi-wing: yur KDE directory contains a lot of important data for example Mail from Kmail. Ask people to rename it in the future [03:45] i eventually tried that as a debugging step. i think that eventually it's a sane debugging step. [03:46] prefrontal: You have a lot of personal data in ~/.kde somewhich possibly you cannot recreate based on the circumstances [03:46] nah i don't put personal data in there [03:47] DaskreecH: thanks for the heads up [03:48] prefrontal: You don't use Kopete or Kmail or kwallet etc ? [03:49] no [03:50] i use firefox, emacs -nw, and our software [03:50] which is built on Qt 4.5 [03:50] anyway how do i get kde working [03:50] prefrontal: its still not working? [03:50] nope [03:50] i didn't change anything.. [03:51] i don't see anything wrong, except the freetype guy [03:52] restart dbus [03:52] and if that doesn't work [03:52] its probably a bad config file in kde [03:52] so rename .kde [03:52] and restart [04:08] I am in puppy linux right now and i cant install ubuntu to my computer. it sits at a blank screen for ever after installing using the alternate cd. any thoughts?n [04:10] echotone: where on the install? [04:10] Is the computer plugged in to the internet? [04:11] when i install ubuntu with the alternate cd, it shows the white ubuntu logo and then flashes a couple of white lines on the screen. It freezes right before (what should/would be) the login screen. [04:11] yeah. [04:12] the system is intstalled but i cant boot it. [04:12] i have my hdd mounted in puppy linux right now. i was told to look for my xconf file or something. [04:13] hi. I don sucess use the microphone in flash 10 kubuntu 9.10 [04:13] don [04:13] don´t [04:13] don't [04:14] I listen but i dont use the microphone [04:15] echotone: ah it's installed you should be ok then :) [04:16] its installed but like i said, it doesnt boot into it. it freezes on a black screen indeffinitely. [04:17] i am trying to fix that problem because right now, the system is unusable [04:17] echotone: It's usable you just need to learn how. You can jump to a tty ? [04:19] i dont think it is usable. i cant do anything. i cant even login. the system freezes at a black screen. i dont even get a chance to login. have you seen anything like that before? [04:45] hello, my kernel upgrade failed do to full HD (now fixed) and now I can't boot the system. I am here with the live cd. How do I reinstall the kernel from here? [04:46] even a link on this would be good. No luck googling so far. [04:48] ubuntu: You cannot boot into an oldkernel? [04:49] no [04:49] ubuntu: Why not? [04:50] <[SilverFox]> Guys I'm going back to windows if I can't find help problem is my ati drivers work okay I can get like 130 fps in a good 2d mmorpg at 1920x1200 play hd videos and such... But the whole interface system moving windows and such is choppy and tearing and the works. [04:50] <[SilverFox]> Anyone know anything comes to mind with this? [04:50] <[SilverFox]> I have a ati 4890 [04:50] I don't know. I could not even boot into my other partition and get it to work. IT was 8.04 and my new system is 9.10. I have now reinstalled grub so it boots part way but then says I don't have the kernel moduals. I think I might have removed something improtant making space. [04:51] ? [04:52] DaskreecH: I think, If I can figure out how. I can just apt-get a new kernel to the HD and be fine. [04:52] [SilverFox]: YOU may want to play with rendering modes [04:52] [SilverFox]: For ATI there is no better IRC resource than #phoronix [04:52] <[SilverFox]> May I ask where I can find them? [04:52] <[SilverFox]> the rendering modes [04:52] ubuntu: Sounds about right [04:53] [SilverFox]: Probably xorg.conf but I don't know enough to speak with confidence [04:53] ubuntu: can you mount the drive? [04:53] platnicat: ! [04:53] yes [04:53] hi [04:54] ubuntu: Ok mount the / partition to some directory and chroot it [04:54] platnicat: Hi [04:56] !chroot [04:56] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [04:56] Sweet :) [04:56] That was fast. [04:57] DaskreecH: I have a boot and a / partition. I am not sure how do make it all work. To make matters harder, the boot is an old root. :-( [04:58] I am not to strong with mounting and chrooting. [04:58] platnicat: What is? [04:58] dolphine mounts them in media just fine though [04:59] ubuntu: Lets unravel where everything is broken then. What in the boot partition ? [04:59] ubottu's response [05:00] Okay, cool. ubottu's a bot! [05:00] Yes she is [05:00] !Hi | platnicat [05:00] platnicat: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [05:01] Okay, ubottu, test! [05:01] ubuntu: Does it have any remnants of being a root partition? [05:01] grup thinks that it is newKDERoot. Is that the answer you want? [05:01] yes [05:01] 2 of them do. [05:01] platnicat: try /msg ubottu commands [05:01] It worked before... [05:01] <[SilverFox]> yeah no one is talking in #phoronix so back to windows I guess :( [05:02] [SilverFox]: Probably late you can try again in the morning [05:02] ubuntu: 2 of what? [05:02] I have an ubottu tab open in XChat. Test makes her say "yes, I'm alive." [05:02] there are 2 partitions with boot info. [05:03] the one with the new stuff is called NewKDERoot [05:03] ok well speak to her in the tab and you can learn more [05:03] ubuntu: is it a root or a boot ? [05:03] they are both both. [05:03] I know that is a mess. [05:05] What I want is for NewKDERoot to be the boot and the other to be root with home. [05:06] That is how the partiton was saved at this point but it has the other files too. [05:07] DaskreecH: so should I chroot the boot or othe /+ [05:07] ? [05:08] the boot or the / ? (I mean) [05:09] ubuntu: Mount the boot to /boot on the /media/NewKDERoot [05:12] ubuntu: Did that make sense to you? [05:14] ubuntu: I'm a little sleepy so if I'm not being clear tell me [05:17] hi [05:17] i'm having trouble wiht my amarok...no sound is coming from it [05:18] crashdata: what are you trying to play?
