| [SilverFox] | What is the best way to uninstall my old fglrx (ati) so when i reset my new nvidia card will detect auto and install like was a fresh os install | 00:16 |
| p1erre_ | Hi folks. Is there someone that has installed KDE 4 from trunk branch while using 4.3 without breaking the system? | 00:27 |
| Scunizi | SilverFox.. your nick is hard to TAB autocomplete even with the "[" present.. after install.. reboot to the rescue kernel and choose "fix video" or something to that effect.. that should take care of it. | 00:28 |
| Scunizi | probably because he's not logged in any more.. :( | 00:29 |

| wavis_ | can anyone give me a tip on escaping characters? eg export CLASSPATH="/jexts/\*" leaves me with the string /jexts/\* and I'm trying to avoid the backslash | 00:31 |
| === Authority_ is now known as Authority | ||
| wavis_ | if i leave out the backslash it expands to the contents of the directory. also not what I want. | 00:32 |
| dtchen | why would you need an asterisk in your $CLASSPATH? | 00:32 |
| wavis_ | I have a directory that i drop jars into for testing on a REPL | 00:33 |
| wavis_ | setting and unsetting the classpath is inconvenient, and java 6 understands the asterisk | 00:34 |
| wavis_ | not the point, anyway | 00:34 |
| wavis_ | there should be some way to escape a star character, seriously | 00:36 |
| dtchen | seems to work fine in the shell that I use (mksh) | 00:41 |
| dtchen | crimsun@errno:~/tmp $ touch \* | 00:41 |
| dtchen | crimsun@errno:~/tmp $ rm -- \* | 00:41 |
| wavis_ | I'm discovering that when echoing the variable I need to quote it. so i actually got it right for one of those, but when I echoed, the path was expanded, which was fine. I just thought it was expanded before. | 00:43 |
| wavis_ | echo "$CLASSPATH" | 00:43 |
| wavis_ | instead of | 00:43 |
| wavis_ | echo $CLASSPATH | 00:43 |
| tsimpson | use single quotes | 00:43 |
| wavis_ | tsimpson: i actually want to see the contents of the variable | 00:44 |
| wavis_ | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/102049/how-do-i-escape-the-wildcard-asterisk-character-in-bash | 00:44 |
| tsimpson | using single quotes disables shell expansion | 00:45 |
| tsimpson | echo '*' will print exactly * | 00:45 |
| wavis_ | right, so | 00:46 |
| wavis_ | export CLASSPATH='/jexts/*' | 00:46 |
| wavis_ | is correct | 00:46 |
| wavis_ | thanks :) | 00:46 |

| phant0m_ | does karmic koala support a kde desktop? | 01:01 |
| tsimpson | yes | 01:01 |
| phant0m_ | where can i get it pls? | 01:01 |
| phant0m_ | its not in my repo | 01:01 |
| tsimpson | you install the "kubuntu-desktop" package | 01:01 |
| phant0m_ | from their main site i presume | 01:02 |
| mw | hello, i have the following problem: after haveing sucessfully (re)boot my machine, i can hear sound on the speakers and, if i plug them in, on headphones. after bringing the machine to standby or hibernate, and reactivateing it, i can hear sound ONLY if i use headphones. the speakers do not seem to work, but using headphones, sound works as normal. this is a hp/compaq notebook with in integrated intel sound card. | 01:02 |
| tsimpson | it's in main, yes | 01:02 |
| mw | phant0m_: just install the package like you would install any other package. | 01:02 |
| phant0m_ | it doesnt appear in my repo | 01:02 |
| tsimpson | phant0m_: then you have none enabled | 01:02 |
| tsimpson | the package is in main, which should be enabled on all installs | 01:03 |
| phant0m_ | no i have the opportunity to down other packages just not kubuntu | 01:03 |
| tsimpson | it's called "kubuntu-desktop" | 01:03 |
| tsimpson | it is there | 01:03 |
| phant0m_ | ok brb | 01:03 |
| phant0m_ | educational desktop for kubuntu that right ? | 01:04 |
| tsimpson | no | 01:05 |
| tsimpson | that's edubuntu-desktop-kde | 01:05 |
| tsimpson | you want kubuntu-desktop with the description "Kubuntu desktop system" | 01:06 |
| phant0m_ | k ill ceck again | 01:06 |
| phant0m_ | check* | 01:06 |
| phant0m_ | no not there | 01:07 |
| tsimpson | it should be, update your package list | 01:07 |
| phant0m_ | how? | 01:07 |
| === javier is now known as Toru | ||
| tsimpson | I'm not sure how to in gnome, look for an update button or similar | 01:08 |
| phant0m_ | k | 01:08 |
| kubian | tsimpson: in terminal sudo aptitude update | 01:09 |
| kubian | or apt-get update | 01:09 |
| phant0m_ | t | 01:09 |
| phant0m_ | ta | 01:09 |
| tsimpson | make sure you close the package manager first | 01:09 |
| tsimpson | otherwise it'll fail | 01:09 |
| phant0m_ | k | 01:09 |
| phant0m_ | hmmm no still not there | 01:10 |
| kubian | r u using synaptic? | 01:10 |
| phant0m_ | err | 01:10 |
| phant0m_ | software centre | 01:11 |
| kubian | use synaptic and then refresh list | 01:11 |
| tsimpson | that doesn't show all packages | 01:11 |
| phant0m_ | ok | 01:11 |
| tsimpson | or you can just do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" in a terminal | 01:12 |
| phant0m_ | right im gonna stick to using synaptic rather than software centre its misleading and that annoys me lol | 01:12 |
| kubian | USoftCenter is crap | 01:13 |
| phant0m_ | yes i just came to that realisation myself | 01:13 |
| phant0m_ | im also havin a minor issue with opera | 01:13 |
| tsimpson | that is being addressed for lucid | 01:13 |
| kubian | kde can be installed with gnome but it's preferred to just use kubuntu if you like kde | 01:13 |
| phant0m_ | yes i do like kde | 01:14 |
| phant0m_ | i prefer it | 01:14 |
| tsimpson | yay, netsplits | 01:14 |
| phant0m_ | sigh thats so annoying | 01:14 |
| kubian | if u mix with gnome there would be a lot of clutter in the menu | 01:14 |
| tsimpson | if you prefer KDE, why not install Kubuntu rather than Ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| phant0m_ | i didnt get an option between the two | 01:15 |
| tsimpson | you download the Kubuntu CD rather than the Ubuntu one... | 01:15 |
| phant0m_ | lol stands to reason | 01:15 |
| phant0m_ | didnt know that before otherwise i would have | 01:16 |
| tsimpson | http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu for next time | 01:16 |
| phant0m_ | ty | 01:16 |
| phant0m_ | i was going to ask if you could help with an issue regarding opera pls | 01:16 |
| tsimpson | well we don't make opera, so it'll be hard ;) | 01:17 |
| phant0m_ | lol there a help channel here | 01:17 |
| r00t_ | Howdy so iw as randomly typing away at keys and spinning my mouswheel when my desktop got very small and went up tnot the top left hand corner and now theres just a grey/white checkerboard in place of where the desktop orignaly was. | 01:18 |
| tsimpson | r00t_: you zoomed out to the activity view, there should be a magnifying glass icon under the desktop to zoom back in | 01:19 |
| mw | r00t_: try windows key + scroll down | 01:19 |
| tsimpson | phant0m_: well opera is proprietary so there is only unofficial support in ##opera | 01:20 |
| phant0m_ | ok ty | 01:20 |
| r00t_ | thanks | 01:21 |
| r00t_ | whats a decent irc client? like one that would come with preprogramed irc servers? | 01:26 |
| phant0m_ | xchat | 01:27 |
| phant0m_ | konversation | 01:27 |
| tsimpson | I don't get why that's so important to people, but xchat comes with a build-in server list | 01:27 |
| phant0m_ | mirc | 01:27 |
| tsimpson | and mirc is not "decent" by any stretch | 01:27 |

| phant0m_ | do you have raid? | 01:29 |
| phant0m_ | firewire | 01:29 |

| phant0m_ | not amarok | 01:38 |
| tsimpson | just make sure to install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package | 01:38 |
| krezlyn | what is kubuntu-restricted-extras? | 01:38 |
| phant0m_ | codecs | 01:39 |

| krezlyn | phant0m_: what would you recommend for music player? | 01:39 |
| krezlyn | whats lame? | 01:40 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: join #ubuntu-bots and ask "what is the best music player?" | 01:40 |
| phant0m_ | rhythmbox | 01:40 |
| phant0m_ | amarok is considered the best | 01:40 |
| phant0m_ | but i disagree | 01:40 |
| tsimpson | lame is an mp4 encoder | 01:40 |
| phant0m_ | because of the stupid law | 01:40 |
| tsimpson | erm, mp3, not 4 | 01:41 |
| phant0m_ | lol | 01:41 |

| tsimpson | if you want it to | 01:41 |
| phant0m_ | yes may cause errors tho | 01:41 |
| phant0m_ | another player thats very good is songbird | 01:41 |

| krezlyn | how do i find out the mountpoint of my second hard drive? | 01:43 |
| phant0m_ | same with songbird but you dont have to mess with restricted formats like with amarok | 01:43 |
| tsimpson | open konsole, type "mount" | 01:43 |
| tsimpson | phant0m_: that's not amarok's fault | 01:44 |
| phant0m_ | no i know it isnt | 01:44 |

| kishore | tsimpson: that is true for karmic but for lucid it should be in the main repos | 03:54 |
| kishore | or so says the aticle | 03:54 |
| tsimpson | no, because it was never put into the repos | 03:54 |
| tsimpson | you should file a bug to remind devs about it | 03:55 |

| tsimpson | stupid splits | 04:03 |
| Roasted | Does Kubuntu and Ubuntu do anything differently in terms of the way they handle/disperse network load? I have 2 setups at work, both identical laptops - 1 ubuntu, 1 kubuntu, imaging 15 laptops at a time. The Kubuntu LAN is always slower than the Ubuntu LAN - I can't figure out why. | 04:03 |
| kishore | tsimpson: still building? It's been a while since the realease and the announcement. PPA's have been available for a while... | 04:03 |
| tsimpson | kishore: build in lucid, not PPAs. building a package in the repos is somewhat more complex than a PPA | 04:04 |
| tsimpson | Roasted: no, the only difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is the GUI, all the base/kernel/networking stuff is identical | 04:04 |
| Roasted | tsimpson - that's what I thought too. But I cannot trace back ANY differences in the setups whatsoever. | 04:05 |
| kishore | tsimpson: ah ok. will have to wait then | 04:05 |
| Roasted | two gigabit switches, same make/model. two laptops, same make/model. All Cat5e network cable. 15 laptops per LAN to image - same image on each LAN. I just can't trace what might be different. And the thing is, I USED to have Ubuntu on my laptop and it was fine, once I put Kubuntu on it I noticed the slight lag in getting images cranked out. | 04:06 |
| Roasted | It'll cater to 2 laptops and they'll be pushing out full bore speeds, while the rest linger around the 3-4 hour mark (obscenely high). Once the 2 speed demons are done, the remainder take off fu ll bore. It's very strange. | 04:06 |
| Roasted | Meanwhile the Ubuntu lan is pretty much handling all clients at the same range/speed. | 04:07 |

| ubottu | Found: gnome-mud, lib64mudflap0, lib64mudflap0-dbg, libmudflap0, libmudflap0-4.2-dev (and 6 others) | 04:09 |
| Roasted | tsimpson - do you just moderate kubuntu, or you an actual kubuntu fan? | 04:09 |
| tsimpson | Roasted: I've used Kubuntu since early 2005 :) | 04:10 |
| krezlyn | im trying to find a package for kmuddy.. i know the names i just to find one with a kubuntu package | 04:10 |
| tsimpson | !find kmuddy | 04:10 |
| Roasted | tsimpson - nice. I've used it for about, ohh, a month. :P | 04:10 |
| ubottu | Package/file kmuddy does not exist in karmic | 04:10 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: I see kildclient in the repos | 04:10 |
| tsimpson | !info kildclient | 04:10 |
| ubottu | kildclient (source: kildclient): Powerful MUD client with a built-in Perl interpreter. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.9.0-1 (karmic), package size 314 kB, installed size 1428 kB | 04:10 |
| krezlyn | im also hoping to find one that had a automapper | 04:11 |
| tsimpson | kmuddy was probably discontinued | 04:11 |
| novice | On Karmic how do I make the whole system go to sleep, automaticaly? | 04:12 |
| krezlyn | can i install a rpm or make a rpm a .deb ? | 04:12 |
| tsimpson | !alien | 04:12 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 04:12 |
| Hoppi | yeah i think it is possible to convert them, but i wouldn't recommend it | 04:13 |
| tsimpson | novice: look in system settings -> advanced -> power management | 04:13 |
| Hoppi | 99.9% of the time you can get a .deb anyway :) | 04:13 |
| tsimpson | or get a .tar.gz and install the fun way ;) | 04:13 |
| Hoppi | lol nooooo! not fun! | 04:14 |
| Hoppi | hehe | 04:14 |
| novice | tsimpson: yeah im there just not sure how to set it | 04:14 |
| tsimpson | novice: look under the Edit Profiles section | 04:14 |
| tsimpson | and the "When the system is idle for more than ..." part | 04:14 |
| novice | tsimpson: suspend to ram? | 04:16 |
| tsimpson | that's probably what you want | 04:17 |
| novice | tsimpson: is that like sleep? | 04:17 |
| tsimpson | what does sleep do exactly? | 04:17 |
| krezlyn | anyone use Quassel? | 04:17 |
| tsimpson | suspend to disk mean to save the RAM to the disk and power off | 04:17 |
| Hoppi | Quassel is cool! | 04:17 |
| novice | tsimpson: just want to were i press the space bar it wakes back up | 04:17 |
| Hoppi | i'm using it right now :) | 04:17 |
| tsimpson | suspend to ram means to turn most stuff off, but keep the power on | 04:17 |
| Roasted | hoppi - you from forums? | 04:17 |
| Hoppi | Roasted: you know it :) | 04:18 |
| tsimpson | novice: then suspend to ram is it | 04:18 |
| Hoppi | Roasted: hehe | 04:18 |
| krezlyn | [20:17:28] <krezlyn> anyone use Quassel? < -- that is how it should show on my chat screen, but for some reason there likes 3 inchs of space between the time stamp and ppl's, name. how can i fix this? | 04:18 |
| Roasted | haaaaaa I thought so! | 04:18 |
| Hoppi | ^_^ | 04:18 |
| Hoppi | Roasted: I was very pleased when I discovered this IRC! | 04:18 |
| Roasted | hoppi - gotta love it man. | 04:18 |
| novice | tsimpson: Thank you very much and windows 7 is a lie! | 04:18 |
| Roasted | these channels may not be overly populated but they can sometimes yield quick answers | 04:18 |
| tsimpson | Roasted: you can create debs from .tar.gz installs with http://giftwrap.tuxfamily.org/index.php?post/2009/05/29/GIftWrap-0.11 if you're interested | 04:19 |
| Roasted | tsimpson - was that supposed to be directed towards me? | 04:19 |
| Hoppi | Roasted: yeah man this channel feels like home! Even viewing it through a rather awesome Qt4 IRC client =D | 04:19 |
| Roasted | lol | 04:19 |
| tsimpson | nope :p | 04:19 |
| Hoppi | Qt4 > all other toolkits | 04:20 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn | 04:20 |
| Hoppi | hehehehe :) | 04:20 |
| tsimpson | Hoppi: agreed, but keep things on topic please | 04:20 |
| Roasted | hoppi - I convinced my long time gnome using linux fan cousin to try kde | 04:20 |
| Hoppi | tsimpson: isn't the topic KDE? ._. | 04:20 |
| krezlyn | yes tsimpson? | 04:20 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: about the .rpm, if you can get a .tar.gz, you can create a .deb from ir installs with http://giftwrap.tuxfamily.org/index.php?post/2009/05/29/GIftWrap-0.11 if you're interested | 04:20 |
| Hoppi | Roasted: nice one! KDE is just wicked, it's so well made and designed :) | 04:20 |
| tsimpson | Hoppi: read the topic and see | 04:21 |
| Hoppi | tsimpson: ok ._. | 04:21 |
| tsimpson | but the short answer is "nope" :) | 04:21 |
| r00t_ninja | how can i use the aptlinex plugin with firefox ? | 04:21 |
| Roasted | hoppi - yeah man. I dig it. I <3 gnome too, and xfce. Decisions decisions. :P | 04:21 |
| krezlyn | tsimpson: can you help me with my Quassel irc question? | 04:21 |
| Hoppi | tsimpson: owh! just support? but... where can I go for random loosely Kubuntu related banter? =D | 04:21 |
| tsimpson | Hoppi: #kubuntu-offtopic | 04:21 |
| Roasted | probably kubuntu-offtopic | 04:21 |
| Hoppi | oo yay! | 04:22 |
| Hoppi | sorry, i do like helping users of course, but I also like just hanging out with other kubuntu enthusiasts :) | 04:22 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: if you mouse over near the space between nicks and the messages, a bar will magically appear | 04:22 |
| tsimpson | click and drag that | 04:23 |
| tsimpson | (maybe poor GUI design though) | 04:23 |
| krezlyn | no none | 04:23 |
| tsimpson | it's there, but difficult to find | 04:23 |
| krezlyn | nevermind | 04:23 |
| krezlyn | found it | 04:23 |
| Hoppi | yes a very blurry bar! | 04:24 |
| Hoppi | but it works well :) | 04:24 |
| krezlyn | if i move it to much tho | 04:24 |
| krezlyn | it makes ppl's names disappear | 04:24 |
| krezlyn | anyone recommend a diffrent or better irc client? | 04:24 |
| tsimpson | it may bounce bacn when some speaks | 04:25 |
| tsimpson | try konversation | 04:25 |
| Hoppi | krezlyn: well I'm afriad that's the price of moving it too far! lol | 04:25 |
| tsimpson | it's what we used before quassel, because there was no KDE4 client then | 04:25 |
| Hoppi | tsimpson: oh so is konversation qt3 based? | 04:25 |
| tsimpson | not any more | 04:25 |
| Hoppi | oh | 04:26 |
| tsimpson | 1.1.x was KDE3, 1.2.x is KDE4 | 04:26 |
| Hoppi | i should try that too then :) | 04:26 |
| krezlyn | what was the name of that restricted package? | 04:26 |
| tsimpson | it's in the karmic repos | 04:26 |
| Hoppi | Quassel is gorgeous but, can't hurt to try another! :) | 04:26 |
| tsimpson | kubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:26 |
| krezlyn | ok tsimpson you use Quassel or another? | 04:26 |
| tsimpson | kubuntu is more featureful than quassel, because it's older :) | 04:26 |
| r00t_ninja | how can i get apt:// links to work with firefox in kubuntu? | 04:26 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: until konversation gets proper scripting support, I'm kind of locked into xchat | 04:27 |
| Roasted | uis there a difference from ubuntu-restricted-extras to kubuntu-restricted-extras? | 04:27 |
| krezlyn | brb | 04:27 |
| tsimpson | Roasted: yeah, the ubuntu ones install all the gstreamer stuff rather than the xine codec | 04:27 |
| Roasted | ah, makes sense | 04:28 |
| Hoppi | I wish offtopic wasn't so quiet ._. I just want somewhere where we can all oooo and ahhhh over the coolness of KDE rofl :) | 04:28 |
| tsimpson | r00t_ninja: try installing the "apturl" package | 04:28 |
| r00t_ninja | that requires alot of gnome stuff | 04:28 |
| r00t_ninja | aptlinex should work though? | 04:29 |
| dhrosa | i've accidentally zoomed out of the plasma desktop, how do I zoom back in? | 04:29 |
| dhrosa | nevermind | 04:29 |
| Hoppi | dhrosa: yeah that really confuses me too! It's the only thing I don't understand o.O I think it needs some smoothing out! | 04:29 |
| r00t_ninja | also i have apturl-kde | 04:30 |
| tsimpson | r00t_ninja: try using the instruction for FF3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptURL#Firefox%203 | 04:30 |
| Hoppi | do most people tend to use the KDE package manager thingy or Synaptic? | 04:30 |
| r00t_ninja | thanks | 04:30 |
| Hoppi | at the moment you couldn't draw me away from Synaptic with anything! hehe :) | 04:31 |
| tsimpson | I just use apt-get | 04:31 |
| Hoppi | I mean for a GUI tool! | 04:31 |
| tsimpson | I don't want to wait 5 seconds for the GUI to load, then 5 mins to search for a package | 04:31 |
| tsimpson | not when I have yakuake open all the time | 04:31 |
| islington | Hoppi: packagekit is still not mature for me , in most castes I use the terminal, to maintain my packages. | 04:31 |
| hagabaka | I use aptitude and kpackagekit | 04:31 |
| Hoppi | islington: yeah I have the same thing, it still feels a little rough around the edges | 04:32 |
| islington | Can anyone comment of the stability of lucid at the moment? | 04:32 |
| tsimpson | hah, stability | 04:33 |
| tsimpson | there is no concept of stability for lucid yet | 04:33 |
| islington | ah its like that is it. Well looks like this will be fun | 04:33 |
| Hoppi | I think Lucid will be awesome :) | 04:34 |
| Hoppi | it will fingers crossed be like a more stable Karmic! | 04:34 |
| islington | uncross those fingers and bugreport then mate. | 04:34 |
| Pavel_ | can anyone help me with java/firefox issues? | 04:44 |
| Pavel_ | (9.04, firefox 3.0) | 04:44 |
| tsimpson | what issues? | 04:45 |

| leinarcane | hellp all, got a problem that i need help with. I can't login to X. sys boots ok get to gui login screen, but when i login ti hangs up and i have to restart x-server and do console login. ttys work fine (that how i'm on now). i've already rtfm'ed,googled, and checked the forum, with no solutions. heres the errors that syslog gives : http://paste.ubuntu.com/341624/ | 04:56 |
| krezlyn | hey tsimpson, can you take a look at something for me really quick? | 04:57 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: depends what | 04:57 |
| krezlyn | http://www.kmuddy.com/index.php/Download has a link for binary can you check that out and tell me if i can install that with the package manager.. | 04:58 |
| === ervin is now known as Guest53374 | ||
| tsimpson | krezlyn: i386 or amd64? | 05:02 |
| krezlyn | i guess i386 | 05:06 |
| krezlyn | im not on a 64bit | 05:06 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: you need to install http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://mecirt/xUbuntu_9.04/i386/libmxp_0.2.2-1_i386.deb and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://mecirt/xUbuntu_9.04/i386/kmuddy_1.0-1_i386.deb | 05:07 |
| tsimpson | in that order | 05:07 |
| krezlyn | ok ty | 05:07 |
| krezlyn | how do i install it? | 05:08 |
| tsimpson | download them and use "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" | 05:08 |
| krezlyn | will it put a Link in my menu auto? | 05:10 |
| tsimpson | krezlyn: maybe, I'm not sure | 05:11 |
| krezlyn | it didnt i dont think | 05:11 |
| tsimpson | if not, you can add it manually | 05:11 |

| gorgonzola | tom_ just go ahead and ask, dont wait for someone to authorize you | 05:23 |

| tom_ | ok.. I have a filesharing network set up between my ubuntu 9.10 desktop and kubuntu 9.10. I had read permissions on both ends i.e. was able download files back and forth from specific folders in /home, but now suddenly I can't access the desktop from my laptop. It shows up on the network, but I can' tconnect | 05:26 |

| et_ | Any news on the 4.4 beta packages? | 05:54 |
| tsimpson | not yet, keep an eye on kubuntu.org | 05:55 |
| et_ | I have been. I guess that by "news," I mean "hey, we're having a problem with XXX and it's going to be a few weeks longer." | 05:58 |
| tsimpson | first we'll get it into lucid, then backport to karmic | 05:59 |
| et_ | I thought the lucid alpha came with 4.4 | 06:00 |
| tsimpson | it comes with most of it | 06:00 |
| hey_boy | how do I check my chipset on kubuntu karmic | 06:00 |
| et_ | hey_boy: what kind of chipset? Motherboard? Video? | 06:01 |
| hey_boy | video. mine is onboard vga. | 06:02 |
| BlueX | hey all | 06:02 |
| tsimpson | try "lspci | grep VGA" | 06:02 |

| hey_boy | Intel 82845G | 06:06 |
| et_ | hey_boy: what made you want to know your chipset? | 06:09 |
| hey_boy | my default resolution is 800x. When I set it to 1024x, it comes back to 800x | 06:09 |
| BlueX | my internet connection drops sometimes in 9.10..is it possible it will be better in 9.04? | 06:10 |
| et_ | Your monitor may not support 1024x | 06:10 |
| hey_boy | So I thought installing proprietary drivers may help | 06:10 |
| hey_boy | it does | 06:10 |
| hey_boy | in Ubuntu9.10 it worked fine | 06:11 |
| hey_boy | in Kubuntu9,10 I am facing this problem | 06:11 |
| BlueX | hey_boy, in response to me? | 06:11 |
| hey_boy | BlueX: no | 06:12 |
| BlueX | k | 06:12 |
| et_ | I didn't think that there were proprietary drivers for Intel graphics (besides GMA500). | 06:12 |
| Hoppi | BlueX: wireless? | 06:12 |
| hey_boy | BlueX: turn off the firewall and try | 06:12 |
| BlueX | yes atheros wireless internet card | 06:13 |
| BlueX | my internet disconnects or freezes pretty often | 06:14 |
| Hoppi | BlueX: I am the type to adopt the lazy option and get a new supported wireless card or just switch to ethernet. but... do you think you have the right drivers? | 06:15 |
| BlueX | hmm, well, the process to install the mad wifi drivers is very confusing | 06:15 |

| hyperair | hi. how does one configure multiple monitors on kde4? | 06:46 |
| hyperair | for some reason the multi-monitor section of the configuration applet thing says that i don't have "that kind of setup" | 06:46 |
| tsimpson | !dualhead | 06:47 |
| ubottu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 06:47 |
| tsimpson | try that link | 06:47 |
| ||arifaX | I am in KDE and I can currently not lock my machine. I tried via the menu and also via the plasmoid. It does not lock. | 06:50 |
| ||arifaX | any ideas? | 06:50 |
| hyperair | tsimpson: i'm interested in a grahpical way of doing this. i've already set up my dual head using xrandr, but i doubt the settings would stick. GNOME had a very nice way of doing this, why doesn't KDE? | 06:50 |
| darkdelusions | hyperair: are you using an nvida based caed | 06:51 |
| darkdelusions | errr | 06:51 |
| darkdelusions | card | 06:51 |
| hyperair | darkdelusions: intel. | 06:51 |
| darkdelusions | humm | 06:51 |
| hyperair | the command i used was.. xrandr --output LVDS1 --right-of VGA1; xrandr --output LVDS1 --pos 1280x224 | 06:51 |
| hyperair | VGA1 is 1280x1024+0+0 and LVDS1 is 1280x800+1280+224 | 06:52 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: krandrtray does quite a good job if it likes your xorg.conf (if one). btw. I found out, that putting a lot of commands in one line xrandr does not like too much in later versions | 06:52 |
| hyperair | ||arifaX: those are two commands. passed into a shell, and are executed separately | 06:52 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: I see | 06:52 |
| hyperair | my xorg.conf is practically non-existent | 06:53 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: good | 06:53 |
| hyperair | well there are things, but nothing significant | 06:53 |
| hyperair | so am i going to get a straight answer, or shall i just continue using xrandr >_> | 06:53 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: did you try krandrtray? | 06:53 |
| hyperair | nope | 06:54 |
| hyperair | but i'd have expected it to work out of the box =\ | 06:54 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: fire it up it is installed by default I think | 06:54 |
| darkdelusions | ||arifaX: I had a similar issue where i couldnt lock, power off, restart, etc till i recived a system update (speaking of your lock issue) | 06:54 |
| hyperair | ||arifaX: it's no better than the method i tried earlier. it insists on mirroring my outputs | 06:55 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: I see | 06:55 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: I think it relies too much on xorg.conf | 06:55 |
| hyperair | pfft | 06:55 |
| hyperair | how useless >_> | 06:55 |
| hyperair | i'd have thought something akin to displayconfig-gtk existed in kde already | 06:56 |
| * hyperair sighs | 06:56 | |
| darkdelusions | hyperair: the only thing i can find is modifying the xorg or using xrandr | 06:57 |
| * hyperair sighs again | 06:57 | |
| darkdelusions | hyperair: | 06:59 |
| hyperair | ? | 06:59 |
| darkdelusions | have you checked under System setting display | 06:59 |
| hyperair | that's where i first went | 06:59 |
| hyperair | it allows configuration of screen resolutions | 06:59 |
| hyperair | but that's about it | 06:59 |
| hyperair | screen resolutions, but it refuses to allow side-by-side orientation or anything other than mirroring | 07:00 |
| darkdelusions | really? | 07:00 |
| hyperair | yes, really. | 07:00 |
| darkdelusions | wow | 07:00 |
| hyperair | there's a multi-monitor configuration section there listed at the side | 07:01 |
| hyperair | but it refuses to allow me to setup my multiple monitors | 07:01 |
| darkdelusions | I generally use the nvidia-setting on mine so i cheat | 07:01 |
| hyperair | because apparently my setup does not use multiple monitors | 07:01 |
| hyperair | well you're using a nvidia card. there is nothing else you can use | 07:01 |
| hyperair | nvidia's binary blob refuses to honour xrandr | 07:01 |
| === balaji is now known as hey_boy | ||
| darkdelusions | when i was settin up my old media center i felt your pain thou i had to go in and edit the xorg by hand which was painful | 07:02 |
| hey_boy | Hello, all | 07:02 |
| hyperair | darkdelusions: well, my pain shouldn't be existent with the current X and all. | 07:03 |
| hey_boy | How do I enable/disable services in Kubuntu? | 07:03 |
| hyperair | darkdelusions: just so you know, i'm primarily a GNOME user and just testing out KDE4. GNOME had no issues. none at all. | 07:03 |
| hey_boy | may sysvinit editor or service configurator | 07:04 |
| hey_boy | to edit services at different runlevels | 07:04 |
| darkdelusions | hyperair: I agree sometime i find that KDE lack feature that gnome has but I cant stand gnome it make me wanna stab my self in the eye with sharp pointy things | 07:04 |
| hyperair | too bad for you. that's generally my opinion of KDE | 07:04 |
| hyperair | well it was for KDe3 | 07:04 |
| hyperair | KDE3* | 07:04 |
| hyperair | and 4.0 | 07:05 |
| hyperair | but KDE seems to have progressed much. | 07:05 |
| hyperair | i'm still struggling to find things though | 07:05 |
| hyperair | stuff like keyboard shortcuts | 07:05 |
| hyperair | configurable screen edges, etc | 07:05 |
| hyperair | where are they? | 07:05 |
| darkdelusions | the screen edges are there | 07:05 |
| hyperair | i'd just dig inside compiz if i were using GNOME+compiz | 07:05 |
| hyperair | where? | 07:05 |
| darkdelusions | system settings>Desktop | 07:06 |
| hyperair | aah desktop | 07:06 |
| hyperair | i see | 07:06 |
| hyperair | what about the window switcher? | 07:06 |
| hyperair | can i change it? | 07:06 |
| hyperair | i don't really like the coverflow method.. | 07:06 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: its a mess with kde display settings. I use 2 monitors on ati and I only can setup the screens the way I like with xrandr, too. wether amdcccle nor krandrtray nor display settings gui can produce the same as xrandr | 07:07 |
| darkdelusions | under Desktop as well | 07:07 |
| hyperair | but ati is shit anyway >_> | 07:07 |
| darkdelusions | its on the affects tab | 07:07 |
| hyperair | i'm using intel. it's the best supported gpu driver there is in linux >_> | 07:07 |
| darkdelusions | err | 07:07 |
| darkdelusions | effects | 07:07 |
| hyperair | darkdelusions: ah yes, thanks. i see it | 07:07 |
| ||arifaX | hyperair: well you might be right | 07:07 |
| darkdelusions | hyperair: input is gonna be your keyboard short cuts i beleave | 07:09 |
| hyperair | input eh. okay | 07:12 |
| hey_boy | guys, how do I control services in runlevels. | 07:12 |
| hey_boy | I want to stop cups from starting. How do I do that? | 07:13 |
| darkdelusions | hey_boy: you can try System Setting>Advanced | 07:14 |
| darkdelusions | Service manager | 07:14 |
| darkdelusions | I may be wrong there | 07:14 |
| darkdelusions | that one i do no know | 07:14 |
| hey_boy | I donot see cups there | 07:16 |
| hey_boy | not all services are listed | 07:16 |
| hey_boy | is there a command line utility for doing service changes | 07:17 |
| hey_boy | like sysvinit editor or something? | 07:18 |
| hyperair | darkdelusions: is there a way to have a shortcut key for alt+tab, but for all windows rather than windows of the current desktop? | 07:19 |

| hyperair | hmmm why is amarok's equalizer disabled, i wonder | 07:24 |
| Alan502 | im using kubuntu, and i dont know how do i bring this menu up but the windows are placed all over the screen in a cool way, which i can use to choose a window. How can i activate this effect? it gets always trigerred but i never notice how did i trigger it. | 07:29 |
| Alan502 | do i explain myself? | 07:29 |
| tsimpson | try moving your mouse to the top left corner of the screen | 07:29 |
| Alan502 | nice, it worked tsimpson | 07:30 |
| Alan502 | not anymore tho | 07:30 |
| Alan502 | what especifically has to be done to trigger it? | 07:30 |
| Alan502 | can i configre for it to be triggered by a button? | 07:30 |
| === sean is now known as Guest33275 | ||

| tsimpson | not yet, keep an eye on kubuntu.org | 07:49 |
| dihae | tsimpson: I've been doing that for a week now, and I expected them to com quite soon now, as the packages all seem to have past staging building in the ppa, and it is included in lucid.. | 07:57 |

| _gm | anirudh: umount /dev/sdb1 | 09:27 |
| _gm | or unmount /media | 09:27 |
| _gm | umount* | 09:27 |
| anirudh | it says device is busy. can i perform killall? | 09:28 |
| crashdata | kill -9 pid | 09:31 |
| crashdata | kill the bastard :) | 09:31 |
| CQ_ | if I want to install a package from backports, do I need to add the whole backports deb line, or can I just grab teh package and install it? | 09:32 |
| sena | anirudh: umount -f /dev/sdb1 | 09:32 |
| anirudh | ok | 09:32 |
| anirudh | thank you | 09:32 |
| tsimpson | CQ_: you need to add the repository | 09:33 |
| CQ_ | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu karmic main then I take it? | 09:34 |
| echotone | I installed 9.10 again today and it works but my desktop freezes and jumps and leaves trails after like 5 minutes of being logged on. I am running nvidia geforce 9500gt. the driver got my dual monitors working smooth but now this prob.. know what it is? | 09:34 |
| anirudh | sena: even that doesn't work. it says device busy | 09:34 |
| CQ_ | and just apt-get updage;apt-get upgrade | 09:34 |
| e66 | is there anything like prism for kubuntu? is there any good browser for kde that uses qt? | 09:34 |
| sena | anirudh: hm that is strange then there is some process that is reading or writing from/to your drvie | 09:35 |
| sena | anirudh: but normally with the force flag it works | 09:35 |
| anirudh | sena: ok.. | 09:35 |
| sena | anirudh: can you do dmesg and paste the output of it in http://paste.ubuntu.org | 09:36 |
| echotone | does anybody know why my screen would be freezing and stalling? I installed ubuntu today and i have the nvidia driver installed and active... | 09:37 |
| CQ_ | echotone: ŵhat do your X logs say? | 09:39 |
| anirudh | it number of lines go above scroll limit (although i have enabled unlimited scrolling) | 09:39 |
| anirudh | ok got it | 09:39 |
| anirudh | sena: you want temperature settings? | 09:39 |
| echotone | cw_:i cant really check them. my screen is frozen but the windows that were open while it happened still work. | 09:39 |
| CQ_ | then ctrl-alt-f1 to go to a console | 09:40 |
| echotone | then what? | 09:40 |
| sena | anirudh: no the log of the kernel when you have attached your drive | 09:40 |
| CQ_ | look in /var/log for the X logs and see if ther are errors in it | 09:40 |
| anirudh | sena: i performed dmesg command. it shows cpu temp and eth0 details | 09:41 |
| echotone | cq_: I am somewhat helpless when it comes to terminal commands. i havent had much practice with them. would you be able to help me with that? | 09:41 |
| echotone | cq_: would i cd? | 09:41 |
| CQ_ | echotone: cd /var/log | 09:42 |
| sena | anirudh: it should have loge also your flash. See how mine looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/341764/ | 09:42 |
| CQ_ | echotone: then less <filename> (...that's a pager that lets you scroll through files) | 09:42 |
| anirudh | sena: the command is dmesg? | 09:44 |
| echotone | CQ_: so now i am at /var/log$ | 09:44 |
| echotone | what allows me to view it? | 09:45 |
| sena | anirudh: yes | 09:45 |
| CQ_ | echotone: read my next comment | 09:46 |
| echotone | i didnt understand it | 09:46 |
| anirudh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/341768/ | 09:47 |
| anirudh | sena: | 09:47 |
| anirudh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/341768/ | 09:47 |
| CQ_ | type less syslog | 09:47 |
| CQ_ | (for example...) to view that file, 'q' to quit out of it, '?' for help | 09:47 |
| sena | anirudh: lol what a log is it possible that your cpu is overheated | 09:48 |
| anirudh | sena: yes it is possible... i have 4 fans in the cabinet, all working yet cpu is overheated :x | 09:49 |
| echotone | okay. so to view my error log i would type "less <syslog>"? | 09:49 |
| CQ_ | no, just 'less syslog' type just 'ls' to see a list of all teh files in that directory. | 09:49 |
| _gm | anirudh: you need to make sure device is not busy when unmounting it. | 09:50 |
| sena | anirudh: well i can not see much from your log no boot information no device information nothing | 09:50 |
| anirudh | exactly.. | 09:51 |
| anirudh | i think ill just restart | 09:51 |
| _gm | make sure you are not in the path. do a cd .. or cd / or cd ~ to get out of the mounted disk path. | 09:51 |
| sena | anirudh: you how this log normally looks like or? | 09:51 |
| anirudh | first time im performing a dmesg command | 09:51 |
| Aruna | i have a doubt i have installed kubuntu new version if i need to show demo if i press Function F4 can i show my desktop ? | 09:51 |
| maco | are you asking if the hotkey to make vga go works in kubuntu? | 09:52 |
| Aruna | yes | 09:52 |
| maco | cuz the answer to that is "dunno. try it and find out." its very hardware dependent | 09:52 |
| echotone | CQ_: ok thanks for clarifying, once i switched back to my desktop with ctrl alt f7 it works fine. but it cleared my desktop picture to black but nothing is freezing. is there an easier way to check it? | 09:53 |
| maco | if the button doesnt work, there's a tool in systemsettings that should do it | 09:53 |
| Aruna | o god.... it may no support | 09:53 |
| maco | go to systemsettings -> display | 09:53 |
| Aruna | any oone tried Function key + F4 ? | 09:53 |
| maco | what part of "hardware dependent" dont you get? | 09:54 |
| maco | its not always fn+f4 | 09:54 |
| maco | and itll vary based on your exact machine | 09:54 |
| maco | its not even down to the video card, but the entire motherboard | 09:54 |
| CQ_ | echotone: you need the logfiles... they tell you if/where errors are... you can go to that directory with dolphin (or whatever you use) and look through the files with a text editor | 09:54 |
| maco | Aruna: if you go to system settings -> display, you can tell it "use the vga. give the vga this resolution and laptop screen this other resolution" etc | 09:55 |
| Aruna | maco: i can see only LVDS1 settins | 09:55 |
| maco | thats your laptop screen | 09:56 |
| maco | what about when you plug in the external? | 09:56 |
| maco | should add VGA1 | 09:56 |
| Aruna | i need to try. | 09:56 |
| Aruna | will it enable ? | 09:56 |
| maco | it should | 09:56 |
| Aruna | ook :) | 09:56 |
| maco | i dont know if the screen will go by itself or if youll have to tell it to in systemsettings | 09:57 |
| Aruna | maco: i will try soon :) thank you | 09:57 |
| maco | but in general, yeah, it should work | 09:57 |
| Aruna | same keeys right Funkey + f4 | 09:57 |
| echotone | CQ_: i am looking in /var/log. are all the files in here what just happened? (hence "log") How do i spot errors with xorg? (or whatever just happened to me) | 09:57 |
| maco | Aruna: the keyboard key may or may not work | 09:59 |
| maco | Aruna: it may be necessary to use your mouse and go to system settings | 09:59 |
| maco | i have one laptop where the button works, and one where it doesnt | 09:59 |
| Aruna | ook | 09:59 |
| echotone | CQ_: I think it was a problem with my "mac" theme. i switched to one that came with the distro and it gave me my wallpaper back and everything. thanks for your help. I didnt see any errors in the logs. | 10:02 |

| Pavel_ | so I had an adept crash in which adept seems to have uninstalled several programs, adept included, and now when I try to sudo apt-get them I get a dpkg error. Any tips? | 18:16 |
| shadeslayer | (though itll take 3 hrs) | 18:16 |
| i_is_broke | Pavel_, have you tried to do sudo aptitude install -f? | 18:17 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| i_is_broke | Pavel_, there is another command to, but i dont remember it.. | 18:18 |
| i_is_broke | !fixdpkg | 18:18 |
| jaimie | shadeslayer: i have X logs if they help | 18:19 |
| jaimie | first it told me there was no i810 module | 18:19 |
| i_is_broke | !dpkg | 18:19 |
| ubottu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 18:19 |
| jaimie | and now it tells me there is no virtual keyboard | 18:19 |
| tsimpson | Pavel_: try, in konsole, "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and then "sudo apt-get -f install" | 18:19 |
| alexander | does the command sudo easy_install work on KDE? | 18:20 |
| tsimpson | if you have it installed, sure | 18:20 |
| jaimie | just tried it alexander and it seems not | 18:20 |
| i_is_broke | tsimpson, ty i couldnt remember it..and ubottu is no help either. | 18:20 |
| tsimpson | !aptfix | 18:21 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 18:21 |
| Pavel_ | seems to be working... | 18:21 |
| shadeslayer | jaimie: dunno,i dont know much about kdm and stuff | 18:21 |
| tsimpson | !dpkgfix is <alias> aptfix | 18:21 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that, tsimpson | 18:21 |
| alexander | jaimie what can i try instead? | 18:21 |
| tsimpson | !fixdpkg is <alias> dpkgfix | 18:21 |
| i_is_broke | ah there it is. | 18:21 |
| jaimie | no idea; im just brave and typed it in :p | 18:22 |
| Pavel_ | so, should I now attempt to sudo apt-get amarok and adept? | 18:22 |
| tsimpson | jaimie: you need python-setuptools installed | 18:22 |
| i_is_broke | Pavel_, try sudo aptitude update first and then the others. | 18:22 |
| jaimie | i see oki :) | 18:23 |
| i_is_broke | tsimpson, is there a list of commands for ubottu? or just have to remember them all? | 18:23 |
| jaimie | would that fix my X problem tsimpson? | 18:23 |
| tsimpson | !bot | i_is_broke | 18:23 |

| tsimpson | jaimie: no, for easy_install | 18:24 |
| tsimpson | I don't have an eee so I can't help there | 18:24 |

| shadeslayer | Bugsbane: that ought to do it,but if there was a error in starting it,then youll need to start it | 19:31 |
| motown | shadeslayer, no this is 4.3.4 | 19:31 |
| shadeslayer | motown: ok,well can you log in as another user and see if the problem persists? | 19:32 |
| Bugsbane | shadeslayer: So I don't see any process called soprano anything. How do you start it? | 19:32 |
| shadeslayer | Bugsbane: not entirely sure what itll be called in 4.4,but you start any service as : service start (service name) | 19:33 |
| Bugsbane | shadeslayer: Ah, found it... "sopranod" I'm guessing... | 19:34 |
| motown | shadeslayer, how can i create another user account from konsole? | 19:34 |
| shadeslayer | motown: sudo adduser | 19:35 |

| FireCrotch | dist-upgrade will install the update and any new packages required | 21:46 |
| shadeslayer | avihay: yeah,youll get the upgrades that are blocked | 21:46 |
| FireCrotch | dist-upgrade really needs to be renamed to something else | 21:47 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 21:48 |
| shadeslayer | avihay: yeah,youre upgrading to the latest distribution version ( of put_appname_here) | 21:48 |
| avihay | I was under the impression that kubuntu is only issueing dist upgrades every 6 mobthes more or less | 21:49 |
| maco | that is correct | 21:50 |
| maco | ohhh | 21:50 |
| maco | ok yeah so "apt-get dist-upgrade" is poor naming | 21:50 |
| shadeslayer | avihay: yeah,but KDE has a different schedule | 21:50 |
| maco | in aptitude it was renamed to "full-upgrade" | 21:50 |
| shadeslayer | maco: safe-upgrade | 21:50 |
| maco | shadeslayer: no. safe-upgrade is the same as plain upgrade | 21:51 |
| maco | because the actual semantics of upgrade (or aptitude safe-upgrade) "dont remove anything already installed or install anything new." while apt-get dist-upgrade or aptitude full-upgrade can do those things | 21:51 |
| avihay | so if I dist upgrade now, it will just upgrade me to kde 4.3.4? | 21:51 |
| maco | as long as you havent changed anything in sources.list | 21:52 |
| FireCrotch | dist-upgrade (to new users) tends to imply distribution upgrade (9.04 to 9.10) | 21:52 |

I have to update via cli to get it to stick.. why is that? | 22:08 |
| shadeslayer | Scunizi: because kpackagekit isnt ready for general consumption yet | 22:09 |

| doatr | kk, thanks | 23:35 |

| maco | full-upgrade is sure not gonna *downgrade* to the repository versions | 23:37 |
| Xand3r | maco: ok than i was wrong sorry | 23:37 |
