| running_rabbit07 | Happy Holidays All! I recently installed Brasero on my Kubuntu machine and now I can't open any folders. I uninstalled Brasero, because the only reply I got to my thread, was to tell me I am supposed to use the Kubuntu program. Anyway, does anyone know what I have to do to get my folder opening capaabilities back? Thanx | 02:08 |
| pumba | what do you mean by saying "you can not open any folders"? | 02:09 |
| running_rabbit07 | If I try to open a file, brasero tries to open it instead of Dolphin, after uninstalling brasero, I get a window saying brasero can't be found | 02:11 |
| running_rabbit07 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8555522#post8555522 is my UF thread where there is a screenshot of the brasero window that was popping up. | 02:13 |
| running_rabbit07 | Am I going to hve to reinstall Kubuntu to fix the settings? | 02:19 |

| Wolfcastle | sometimes on startup it shows me the available wifi connection but it doesn't try to connect when i click on it | 03:13 |
| Wolfcastle | only thing that fixes it is a restart of knetworkmanager | 03:13 |

| Roasted | noob question - "user is not in sudoers file" how can I add a user to have sudo rights from within kuser management tool? | 03:31 |
| daskreech | Roasted: How much power would you like them to have? | 03:36 |
| Roasted | daskreech - I just needed them to have sudo power. But I figured it out. In kuser you have to addt hem to the "admin" group. | 03:37 |
| Roasted | I got confused becuase you see, I created a user named "administrator", so I had an administrator group there. So I added my new user to administrator thinking that was it, not realizing administrator was a "user group" | 03:37 |
| daskreech | Roasted: I was going to say if you wanted them to have the same power as the first user just add them to the admin group | 03:37 |
| Roasted | once I added him to "admin" I was good to go | 03:37 |
| daskreech | Roasted: Ah right | 03:38 |
| Roasted | gosh I hate last minute set ups. trying to get these done so I can put these darn computers under the tree! :P | 03:38 |
| daskreech | Roasted: if you give up then say the gift is 10 months of cost free support :) | 03:39 |
| Roasted | lol - thats the only downside with immediate family. The support is kind of pre-built in :P | 03:39 |
| Roasted | but hey, two new dual booting rigs for my HS/freshmanincollege brothers, theyll be happy | 03:40 |
| Roasted | if not I'll just do the brotherly thing - resort to violence | 03:40 |
| Roasted | hey if I add a new user as "admin" within kuser, would I be okay then to delete the first user I created on the system? | 03:41 |
| daskreech | Roasted: http://tinyurl.com/ydgtmj6 | 03:42 |
| daskreech | Roasted: Why would you want to delete them? | 03:43 |
| Roasted | I gotta start doing that. Heck, just tonight I ended up troubleshooting a family members laptop with a virus at a family gathering :P | 03:43 |
| Roasted | daskreech - well by force of habit when I set up new systems, I add the user "administrator" just becuase its the common practice at work. | 03:43 |
| Roasted | daskreech - these systems are going to my brothers, curt and tyler, so I created a user account on each one to correspond with that username. But administrator is still there, and kind of useless now. | 03:44 |
| Roasted | I just wanted to see if I could nuke that account, leaving curt the only acct on his pc and tyler the only acct on his pc. | 03:44 |
| Roasted | but I didnt want to upset anything, permissions wise, if I do that. I wasnt sure if the first user MUST exist for all eternity on *nix boxes or what. | 03:44 |
| daskreech | Roasted: give administrator a bastard of a password and use the same password on all the computers. If they royally screw everything up you will have a backup user. Write down the details and keep it somewhere safe of course | 03:46 |
| === vbits is now known as Vbitz | ||
| Roasted | yeah, I can do that. BUT - COULD I delete adminstrator if I really wanted? | 03:47 |
| daskreech | yeah | 03:47 |
| daskreech | You'd regret it later :) | 03:47 |
| Roasted | how so | 03:47 |
| daskreech | cause at somepoint someone will change the password then sometime later they will screw everthng up then they will call you | 03:49 |
| Roasted | gotta love recovery console, man :P | 03:50 |
| daskreech | I had someone get annoyed that they had to keep typing sudo so they chowned / to themselves | 03:50 |
| Roasted | sudo useradd, reboot, log in as newly created user, even if the only user prior on the system was completely FUBAR'd | 03:50 |
| Roasted | lol | 03:50 |
| Roasted | thats awesome | 03:50 |
| daskreech | Yeah one of the things I need o putin my Linux class | 03:51 |
| daskreech | to put in | 03:54 |
| Roasted | yeah | 03:54 |
| Roasted | I hear that one | 03:54 |
| kubian | why do that when you can use sudo -i to give you a root session | 03:56 |
| daskreech | What do you have left to do? | 03:56 |
| Roasted | daskreech - what do you mean? on these systems Im doing? | 03:56 |
| daskreech | kubian: You'd be amazed at what the mind comes up with once they grasp the flexibilty of Linux without any background or history | 03:56 |
| daskreech | Roasted: Yes | 03:56 |
| Roasted | just gotta pull the data off my linux server | 03:57 |
| Roasted | daskreech - you see, my brothers run XP, so all of their stuff is there. I use 3rd party windows software to sync their documents to my samba server every night at 3 am. | 03:57 |
| Roasted | daskreech - so that way when their rig crashes, which has happened 3 times for poor curt (and oddly 0 times for tyler) I have a backup of their stuff. | 03:57 |
| Roasted | daskreech - Im just pulling last nights backup off (30 gig per) so their systems are AS ready to go as possible when they open them up tomorrow. | 03:58 |
| daskreech | cool | 03:58 |

But when I hit "display" in system settings its like, OHW AIT, NOW I REMEMBER and instantly reverts back to 1024x768. It's like, come on, it's a fricken resolution. Stay with what I say. | 04:43 |

| Kelvari | The URL will show http://www.google.com but I will be looking at either the Bing homepage or the Mozilla homepage, or some other site. | 10:11 |
| subito | Kelvari: are you connected using wifi or ethernet? | 10:11 |
| Kelvari | This has happened both with wi-fi and ethernet connections. | 10:11 |
| tsimpson | then it's something to do with your DNS server(s) | 10:11 |
| tsimpson | or the DNS servers your router is using | 10:12 |
| Kelvari | I have a machine running Windows 7 that does not have these problems, despite being connected to the same router. | 10:12 |
| sinclair86 | yea and 206.124.65.253 is verizon dns.... you have fios? | 10:12 |
| Kelvari | I wish... I'm actually still sub-megabit | 10:12 |
| sinclair86 | but your provider is verizon correct? | 10:13 |
| Kelvari | Yes. | 10:13 |
| subito | Kelvari: have you tried cleaning your interfaces file and connecting without network manager? | 10:13 |
| Kelvari | I have done a full format and reinstall of the OS, and have even had this problem from a LiveCD | 10:13 |
| sinclair86 | he doesnt have anything in those files | 10:13 |
| subito | Kelvari: but have you tried connecting without networkmanager? | 10:14 |
| sinclair86 | first 2 i asked to see was resolv and /network/interfaces | 10:14 |
| tsimpson | if you type in "host www.google.com 192.168.1.1" into a shell, is it different from "host www.google.com 206.124.65.253"? | 10:14 |
| Kelvari | I haven't tried that, tsimpson. | 10:14 |
| tsimpson | if so, it's your router acting strangely, and windows may be favouring the public DNS rather than the private | 10:15 |
| Kelvari | tsimpson: There is a discrepency between the IP adddresses | 10:15 |
| Kelvari | using 192.168.1.1, I get 209.85.225.x | 10:16 |
| Kelvari | using 206.124.65.253 I get 64.233.169.x | 10:16 |
| sinclair86 | block ur 192.168.1.1 | 10:16 |
| sinclair86 | in resolv | 10:16 |
| sinclair86 | 209 != google | 10:17 |
| tsimpson | both are apparently google blocks | 10:17 |
| tsimpson | 209.85.128.0 - 209.85.255.255 is owed by Google Inc | 10:17 |
| tsimpson | *owned | 10:17 |
| sinclair86 | >_< | 10:17 |
| tsimpson | as is 64.233.160.0 - 64.233.191.255 | 10:17 |
| Kelvari | I'm willing to listen to any other suggestions. | 10:19 |
| lordganesh | how to do port forwarding in kubuntu | 10:21 |
| Kelvari | Okay... I'm having the issue right now on my laptop. www.whois.net brought me to the Google.com homepage. | 10:21 |
| tsimpson | lordganesh: you port forward with your router | 10:22 |
| Kelvari | 192.168.1.1 reports IP 74.125.95.100; 206.14.65.253 reports 199.238.166.245 | 10:22 |
| tsimpson | the latter seems correct | 10:23 |
| lordganesh | tsimpson: i m asking how to do that | 10:23 |
| tsimpson | lordganesh: you use your routers admin interface | 10:24 |
| Kelvari | tsimpson: It looks like Sinclaire was right - my router is giving me bad DNS information. | 10:28 |
| sinclair86 | wewt wewt | 10:29 |
| Kelvari | 74.125.95.100 is Google's, and 199.238.166.245 is Whois.net's | 10:29 |
| Kelvari | I guess Win7 was just relying on the external information, and Kubuntu the internal infrmation. I'll see what I can do to fix that, and hopefully have a good day of error-free browsing. | 10:30 |
| tsimpson | Kelvari: you should be able to override the DNS servers by adding the line "supersede domain-name-server 206.124.65.253" to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 10:30 |
| Kelvari | I'm thinking of setting the Router to refer to either OpenDNS or Google DNS | 10:32 |
| tsimpson | Kelvari: you try that first, if all else fails then try editing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 10:32 |
| Kelvari | Will do. Thank you for your time and help. | 10:32 |

| sinclair86 | tsimpson editting resolv.conf could do it as well too? | 10:33 |

| tsimpson | "sudo -i" will start a shell as the root user | 10:55 |

| wesley | is it possible that on part of harddrive is damaged and other parts not? | 11:21 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: yeah | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: one of my HD's 'tore' apart at one place and the rest of the platters were fine | 11:23 |
| wesley | because I have 500 gb of 931 in use, because on other 500 there is a part damaged | 11:23 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: you can try and fsck it and see if something comes up,i would suggest you get it replaced | 11:23 |
| wesley | I have it replaced, but when I did it still wasnt broken | 11:24 |
| wesley | so I wanted use it as external | 11:24 |
| wesley | Now I have 500 gb at back in use, leaving 300 gb away | 11:24 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: so youre point is? | 11:25 |
| wesley | that I can still use it, but I would like to know exact where the damage is | 11:26 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: ah.. thats more problematic... there was a app,i cant remember the name.. | 11:26 |
| wesley | can I see where it goes wrong? or just go create filesystems each 20gb and then see where I fail? | 11:27 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: im trying to find something :) | 11:28 |
| Mamarok | shadeslayer: fdisk | 11:29 |
| shadeslayer | Mamarok: nope its testdisk | 11:30 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: try testdisk | 11:30 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: testdisk - Partition scanner and disk recovery tool | 11:30 |
| Mamarok | shadeslayer: well, he needs to repair these anyway | 11:30 |
| Mamarok | wesley: also running SMART on it is a good idea, just to be sure it is not dying | 11:30 |
| shadeslayer | Mamarok: he wants to know the exact areas of damage | 11:31 |
| wesley | yes so I can use what is not damaged, its 1tb hd | 11:31 |
| Mamarok | that doesn't really matter, you need to mark those sectors as damaged anway to avoid stuff is written to it | 11:31 |
| wesley | I will not partition it | 11:31 |
| Mamarok | so it's pretty irrelevant where the damage is | 11:31 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: anyways itll eventually spread to other parts,so the whole disk will eventually die.. | 11:31 |
| wesley | really? if I just use one part? | 11:32 |
| Mamarok | shadeslayer: that's why I say running smart to make sure the integrity is not ruined | 11:32 |
| shadeslayer | yeah thats a good option | 11:32 |
| Mamarok | wesley: is the disk integrity is rotten, then it will spread and kill the disk ultimately | 11:32 |
| Mamarok | which can happen quite fast, so running smart, then fix with fdisk if the disk is healthy is the best you can do | 11:33 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: also suppose the platter heads start colliding nasty stuff could happen | 11:33 |
| Mamarok | if smart tells you the disk has problems, get yourself a new one fast | 11:33 |
| shadeslayer | i.e if the disk platters are physically damaged | 11:33 |
| wesley | I lready have a new one, I upgraded to ecodrive of 1,5 tb | 11:34 |
| Mamarok | wesley: well, then check tat faulty disk with smart | 11:34 |

| wesley | I found it alreadu | 11:36 |
| Mamarok | shadeslayer: smart-notifier should not be used, since it runs a daemon | 11:36 |
| Mamarok | shadeslayer: which can, onver time, dammage the disk | 11:37 |
| Mamarok | over* time | 11:37 |
| shadeslayer | Mamarok: oh i didnt know that... thats the only app i could find in the repos | 11:37 |
| Mamarok | shadeslayer, wesley: it is smartmontools, then run smartctl on the disk you want to test (unmounted, of course) | 11:38 |
| wesley | it is unparted | 11:38 |
| Mamarok | unpartitioned you mean? | 11:39 |
| shadeslayer | wesley: the disk should probably be like : /dev/sda | 11:39 |
| wesley | yes | 11:39 |
| Mamarok | wesley: well, it should at least have a partition to test | 11:39 |
| wesley | can make it ntfs | 11:39 |
| Mamarok | else there is no format on it | 11:39 |
| Mamarok | wesley: why? use ext3 or ext4 | 11:39 |
| Mamarok | unless you really *have* to use it with Windows, there is no reason to use ntfs | 11:40 |
| wesley | ext4 is where it failed to make a ext4 | 11:40 |
| Mamarok | then use ext3 | 11:40 |
| Cuddletauren | Mamarok: i insincerely apologize for the grave inconvienience caused by my learning-by-doing attitude | 11:41 |
| Mamarok | Cuddletauren: you can /msg ubottu to test then, don't do it in the channel | 11:41 |
| Cuddletauren | i wasn't testing anything | 11:42 |
| Cuddletauren | i was learning abou moo | 11:42 |
| wesley | it will fail creating ext3 to | 11:42 |
| shadeslayer | Cuddletauren: try : apt-get moo : in a terminal | 11:43 |
| Mamarok | Cuddletauren: which is nothing related to Kubuntu | 11:43 |
| Mamarok | shadeslayer: there's no such package | 11:43 |
| Cuddletauren | i did apt-get moo i wanted to learn about it | 11:43 |

| luiz | Wolfcastle: kdm starts and login screen is shown. I log in and kde still not load | 15:05 |
| Linex | Anyone here using krfb ? | 15:05 |
| soee | luiz: what kde verion u have ? | 15:06 |
| luiz | now I am with 4.4 beta 2 | 15:07 |
| luiz | soee: but the problem begins when I was with 4.3 | 15:07 |
| luiz | soee: it's the same problem that I have with chakra | 15:08 |
| luiz | soee: now I think it's a hardware problem | 15:08 |
| soee | luiz: probably | 15:08 |
| luiz | but yesterday it was working perfectly | 15:09 |
| soee | luiz: u have both gnome and kde installed ? | 15:09 |
| luiz | soee: yes | 15:09 |
| luiz | soee: I am in GNOME right now | 15:10 |
| soee | well tbh i never used both in my system | 15:10 |
| soee | so its hard for me to say if it has anything to do with this, but prolly no | 15:11 |
| luiz | soee: I understand.. | 15:11 |
| luiz | soee: I don't know what to do now | 15:12 |
| luiz | soee: maybe I use GNOME for while. | 15:12 |
| luiz | soee: the KDE apps works perfectly in gnome | 15:13 |
| soee | luiz: well if u want, i was using it last few months but now when i switched to KDE i now i wont go back to gnome :) | 15:13 |
| luiz | soee: I prefeer KDE | 15:14 |
| soee | luiz: if you have extra partition for /home directory maybe try to reinstall system - only kubuntu | 15:15 |
| luiz | soee: can I do it in a windows partition? | 15:15 |
| luiz | soee: will I lost my programs? | 15:16 |
| soee | well if u change partition format, u cant install system on ntfs or fat | 15:16 |
| soee | luiz: yes u will have to install them again | 15:16 |
| luiz | soee: mmm | 15:17 |

| soee | installing programs isnt so hard | 15:17 |
| luiz | soee: maybe I do it.. | 15:19 |
| soee | luiz: if u do, remeber to create extra partition for /home, than u can reinstall system whenever u want and ur files will stay in your home directory if u dont format this partition | 15:20 |

| vishesh | Anyone knows where the Bluetooth hci configuration files lies? It's supposed to be in /etc/bluetooth/hci.conf, but it's not there. It's a know bug apparently. | 16:16 |
| vishesh | Sorry, it's supposed to be in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf .. | 16:17 |
| vishesh | KBluetooth manages to pair bluetooth devices perfectly, but how does it do it without this file? | 16:17 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: udev | 16:20 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: You think it would be possible for you to elaborate a little bit? Please. /etc/udev/ has only 1 files udev.conf and a rules.d folder | 16:50 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: And apparently the /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth.rules files doesn't really do much, apart from starting the bluetoothd daemon whenever any bluetooth device is added. | 16:52 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: what are you trying to figure out? | 17:06 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: I'm trying to figure out where the hcid configuration lies. No practical use - just so I know. KBluetooth manages to pair devices perfectly, and that info is supposed to be stored in hcid.conf. So, I've been wondering how it does it. I even downloaded the source code, but that just used the Solid Framework. | 17:08 |
| ozi | im back :D | 17:09 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: Any idea? | 17:11 |
| ozi | how about installing yahoo mesengger in Kubuntu ?? | 17:12 |

| === Kage_Jittai is now known as Kage | ||
| ozi | My employees can not use kopete pidgin or gyachE | 17:24 |
| vishesh | ozi: Why not just use Pidgin or kopete. It doesn't matter what your employees use, the end result will be the same. | 17:25 |
| ozi | he he | 17:25 |
| vishesh | Unless, you use Photo sharing or some other feature of Yahoo Messenger. I think Pidin even supports voice & video chat. | 17:26 |
| petsounds | to my knowledge ym is a protocol so every apps support that protocol will be compatible, unless you want to use webcam | 17:26 |
| ozi | yup | 17:26 |
| ozi | emotion | 17:26 |
| vishesh | I'm not too sure about Koepete. You want to use a webcam? | 17:26 |
| ozi | maybe 1 reason | 17:26 |
| petsounds | nowadays ppl tend to use skype, and it works fine with my ubuntu | 17:27 |
| ozi | i have skype | 17:27 |
| vishesh | Uhm .. Okay. I'm not that great at explaining stuff, but I'll try. My gf was confused about the same thing. Emoticons are just normal "text". Example a color with a dash and a right parenthesis make a smile. :-) | 17:28 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: ok I thik that the solid configuration might keep the pairs and pss it in on lieu of a hcid.conf | 17:28 |
| dasKreeCh | ozi: Hello | 17:28 |
| ozi | yes | 17:28 |
| ozi | mmm | 17:28 |
| dasKreeCh | ozi: Yahoo messenger doesn't work under Linux right now | 17:28 |
| vishesh | There is no separate mechanism for transmitting emoticons. They are transferred as normal text and the client decides how to display them. | 17:29 |
| dasKreeCh | Yahoo has for all purposes stoppd supporting the linux versioj | 17:29 |
| ozi | yup | 17:29 |
| dasKreeCh | Gyache supports almost all of the Yahoo 9 functions Photo sharing webcam etc | 17:29 |
| dasKreeCh | if you need more or Yahoo 10 then install Windows in a virtual machine | 17:29 |
| ozi | vishesh: you mean just change her emotion | 17:30 |
| petsounds | yahoo + microsoft = bing, and it's a bad news :( | 17:30 |
| ozi | hahahaha | 17:30 |
| ozi | vishesh: you mean just change her emotion ? | 17:30 |
| dasKreeCh | ozi: if you want Yahoo emoticons in Kopete they are there | 17:30 |

| petsounds | dasKreeCh, i think it's fine. no support question atm | 17:31 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: Any idea where the Solid framework configuration files are? Btw .. I don't think you're right. Long explanation, but lets see. | 17:31 |
| dasKreeCh | petsounds: Just letting you know before you start a long discussion | 17:32 |
| petsounds | dasKreeCh, i don't talk much! please back scroll i only answering question. please backscroll! | 17:32 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: Are you using kdebluetooth? | 17:32 |
| dasKreeCh | petsounds: I'm not berating you :) | 17:33 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: kBluetooth. Kdebluetooth is apparently depreciated. | 17:33 |
| dasKreeCh | petsounds: I'm just saying that if a statement like that leads to a long discussion then it's better to continue it in #kubuntu-offtopic | 17:34 |
| dasKreeCh | petsounds: For some reason mentioning microsoft sends some people onto this long discussion of morals and greed etc | 17:34 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: I even use blueman at times. And thats the reason I think there has to be some seperate mech for pairing stuff. | 17:34 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: Are there any config files in ~/.kde | 17:34 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: I wouldn't doubt it the KDE and GNome teams don't work together on bluetooth stuff | 17:35 |
| the_wave | hello, everyone. i have isdn connection (using win xp right now) and i want to use it with my kubuntu netbook (lenovo ideapad). i use an external isdn modem, that connects to the laptop via usb. i tried to find manuals/howtos and things like this, but all of them don't care about usb-connected isdn modems. my modem is a "billion tiny usb isdn ta 128" | 17:35 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: Hmm .. I'll try out something, and come back to you. | 17:36 |
| the_wave | when i connect it to the kubuntu laptop the log shows me that soemthing is happening but i dont know how to go on... also most information on isdn is outdated :/ | 17:36 |

| Kelvari | I'm having DNS problems with Kubuntu Karmic | 18:00 |
| dasKreeCh | Kelvari: More information? | 18:00 |
| Kelvari | I go to http://www.google.com and it takes me to the Adobe homepage. | 18:00 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: i mainly looked ad ubuntu-sites but found out that this is for cards, and not for external usb modems, so i dumped it. all the other things i tried were for old versions of ubuntu and didnt work either. i checked my logfiles and found the expression "Billion tiny USB ISDN TA 128" so i entered it to google. | 18:01 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: now i try http://trustusbta.sourceforge.net/ | 18:01 |
| Kelvari | It happens with Firefox, Konqueror, and even ping | 18:02 |
| dasKreeCh | the_wave2: that's for the driver | 18:02 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: hmmm, ok i see | 18:02 |
| dasKreeCh | Kelvari: What is the IP that ping returns ? | 18:02 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: i am posting the log so u can have a look at it | 18:02 |
| Kelvari | The ping to google returns 74.125.95.103, but the problem is intermittent. | 18:03 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: http://pastebin.com/d3a2ad9c | 18:05 |
| dasKreeCh | Kelvari: who is your DNS provider? | 18:08 |
| Kelvari | I've currently got my router set up to use OpenDNS | 18:08 |
| dasKreeCh | the_wave2: So it detects it | 18:08 |
| dasKreeCh | Kelvari: 4.4.4.2 ? | 18:08 |
| Kelvari | 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 for the router's information | 18:09 |
| Kelvari | The computer shows 192.168.1.1 and 208.67.220.220 | 18:09 |
| dasKreeCh | where the first is the router obviously | 18:09 |
| Kelvari | Yes. | 18:09 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: is think it detects something... the expression "Billion tiny USB ISDN TA 128" seems to be someting like a lable... so its just a string of letters... no practical information for linux... like the name of a pendirve... | 18:10 |
| dasKreeCh | the_wave2: Yes but the firmware is returning that so it has some kind of communication with it | 18:11 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: you are right. | 18:11 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: but kppp does not recognize it | 18:11 |
| dasKreeCh | Is there a /dev/ppp ? | 18:12 |
| coz_ | hey guys ,,, is there a site that has a list of default kde applications and the executable names? | 18:15 |
| Roasted | Why does Kubuntu give me problems with keeping the resolution I set it to? It always defaults to the native resolution, which is fine, but my 22" inch monitor displays text so horribly that I set it to a different resolution, but Kubuntu just changes it to default each time I reboot. | 18:16 |
| the_wave2 | dasKreeCh: hmmm... give me a sec, so i connect it to my kubuntu again, ok? | 18:16 |
| coz_ | Roasted, isnt there a setting under System Settings for saving the current session? | 18:17 |
| Roasted | coz_ - Hmm, I dont know? I just hit resolution, 1024x768, "apply" and reboot, and it changes it back each time I reboot. Was I missing a step? | 18:18 |
| coz_ | Roasted, looking on my kubuntu system under system settings advances ..session management | 18:18 |
| coz_ | Roasted, I believe there is a "restore previous session" tick box | 18:19 |
| Roasted | Oh, yes I know about this. Would that change the resolution too?? I thought it was just for open windows?? | 18:19 |
| === the_wave2_ is now known as the_wave3 | ||
| dasKreeCh | coz_: KDE.org ? | 18:19 |
| coz_ | Roasted, as far as I know... and I am not up on all of kde for sure... this should save the session you are on and keep the resolution | 18:19 |
| coz_ | dasKreeCh, thanks I will check there | 18:20 |
| Roasted | coz_ just another thing to fire out | 18:20 |
| the_wave3 | dasKreeCh: i have... but it exists, no matter if the modem is connected or not | 18:20 |
| coz_ | Roasted, out of curiosity ...whch video card>? | 18:20 |
| Roasted | coz_ - if I reboot, and it comes back as native resolution when I had set it to 1024x768, if I go to system settings, then the SECOND I hit "display", the screen goes black and it instantly changes to 1024x768. So its like it knows I changed it, but its not restoring it until I go back to display. | 18:20 |
| dasKreeCh | coz_: Also I supsect depends on your definition of "default" KDE | 18:20 |
| Roasted | again I dont have to CHANGE it. I just hit display and BLAM it goes back. | 18:21 |
| Roasted | coz_ - Nvidia 9400GT, 185 drivers | 18:21 |
| dasKreeCh | the_wave3: Yeah I just figured that out as well same for /dev/idsn0 which I certainly dont' have | 18:21 |
| the_wave3 | dasKreeCh: :) | 18:21 |
| dasKreeCh | Roasted: I used to cheat for stuff like that. you may want to play with Hinting for the LCD Fonts | 18:21 |
| coz_ | Roasted, ok let me try it here to see if it does keep the resolution I set | 18:21 |
| petsounds | Roasted, do you create nvidia-xconfig ? | 18:22 |
| Roasted | daskreech - you mean in regard to my monitor being poor? | 18:22 |
| Roasted | petsounds - no, I didnt create it personally. | 18:22 |
| the_wave3 | dasKreeCh:do u speak german? | 18:22 |
| petsounds | Roasted, then try to create it with sudo nvidia-xconfig and then kdesudo nvidia-settings | 18:23 |
| Roasted | petsounds - well, I cant at the moment. The computers were gifts I just handed off to my brothers. I couldnt even BEGIN to pry them from them now. :P | 18:23 |
| Roasted | petsounds, coz_ - I am trying this restore session/resolution thing with my kubuntu work laptop now to test .... | 18:24 |
| coz_ | Roasted, ok that didnt work on this system however you were correct...after starting the session and then going into system settings Display...it immediately sets it correctly but not when bootint up | 18:26 |
| coz_ | Roasted, I dont have an answer to this one apparenlty.... I am not up on all kde stuff at this point | 18:26 |
| Roasted | coz_ you just tested it? | 18:26 |
| coz_ | Roasted, i did | 18:26 |
| Roasted | coz_ did you set the restore session thing to start a new one each time? and then try it? | 18:26 |
| dasKreeCh | !de | 18:27 |
| ubottu | In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 18:27 |
| dasKreeCh | the_wave3: nein! | 18:27 |
| coz_ | Roasted, well I set session to restore previous session but it did not restore the resolution for me | 18:27 |
| Roasted | coz_ yeah. I'm rebooting now. I set my laptop to start a new session each time and applied 800x600 as the resoliution. We'll see what happens when it boots up....... | 18:28 |
| coz_ | Roasted, that one sounds like it will probably work | 18:28 |
| Roasted | coz_ we'll see uin about 12 seconds........ | 18:28 |
| Roasted | login screen looks the same......... | 18:29 |
| the_wave3 | ok i ll go back to it a nother time :( | 18:29 |
| Roasted | naw | 18:29 |
| Roasted | didnt work | 18:29 |
| coz_ | Roasted, ok damn | 18:29 |
| Roasted | back to 1280x800 | 18:29 |
| Roasted | its no big deal, its just one of those like, REALLY? things | 18:29 |
| coz_ | Roasted, and you want this at which res? | 18:29 |
| Roasted | like, its a fricken screen resolution. | 18:29 |
| coz_ | Roasted, which resolution do you want again? | 18:29 |
| Roasted | coz_ I dont need anything changed on the laptop. Its just my 22 inch monitor on my workbench has trouble reading text @ 1680x1050 (its native rez) | 18:30 |
| Roasted | I forget what I normally keep the 22 at... | 18:30 |
| coz_ | Roasted, ok hold on | 18:30 |
| dasKreeCh | Roasted: press alt+E on the login screen | 18:30 |
| maco | maybe you should change the DPI instead of the resolution? | 18:30 |
| maco | or make the fonts bigger | 18:30 |
| dasKreeCh | When my computer starts up with the wrong Res I press that and it normally corrects it. Course I normally want as high a res as I can get so it's not a good comparison | 18:31 |
| coz_ | Roasted, have you played with nvidia-settings for this? | 18:31 |
| Roasted | maco - that's an idea too. But even still, changing screen resolution isnt something that should be problematic. Now it's not about finding a "fix", its about finding out why in the world something sos imple is problematic. | 18:31 |
| Roasted | coz_ no I havent. Perhaps I should. | 18:31 |
| coz_ | Roasted, kdesudo nvidia-settings make the resolution changes and click to save to xconfig | 18:31 |
| Roasted | in fact yeah, maybe I should have done that originally, lol | 18:31 |
| maco | ...its not had | 18:31 |
| coz_ | Roasted, you also may want to run nvidia-xconfig | 18:31 |
| * dasKreeCh files it under X sucks | 18:31 | |
| maco | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 18:32 |
| maco | *hard | 18:32 |
| maco | just do what that wiki page says to do for kdm | 18:32 |
| Roasted | coz_ I dont think my laptop has a nvidia card....... | 18:32 |
| Roasted | coz_ nvidia-settings isnt doing anything | 18:32 |
| Roasted | yeah its an intel card | 18:33 |
| coz_ | Roasted, oh which card on laptop? lspci | grep -i vga | 18:33 |
| coz_ | ok | 18:33 |
| coz_ | mmm | 18:33 |
| coz_ | Roasted, what does xrandr spit out? | 18:34 |
| coz_ | Roasted, at the top of that readout should be minimim current and maximum | 18:35 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: You there? | 18:35 |
| Roasted | coz_ battery just died.... | 18:35 |
| coz_ | ooooo | 18:35 |
| Roasted | coz_ oh well, Ill deal with it later | 18:36 |
| Roasted | its just, something like this is just...... stupid..... to deal with | 18:36 |
| Roasted | screen resolution shouldnt be so tricky | 18:36 |
| Roasted | Im sorry, linux or not, it shouldnt be | 18:36 |
| coz_ | Roasted, ok that link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution there are steps to change resolution via xrandr | 18:36 |
| coz_ | Roasted, generally it isnt this tricky ... I can say on gnome it works really well however... I dont often work on systems with intel video so any of the possible work arounds are not apparent to me | 18:37 |
| Roasted | well, I assume I could get it working on the other desktops I worked on before, since they had nvidia cards | 18:37 |
| Roasted | but its just like, if linux wants to be grandma-approved, how in the world do they expect granny to program a xorg file so she can get 800x600 text on her 24 inch monitor? | 18:38 |
| Roasted | its just like, come on now | 18:38 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: theres a GUI way too | 18:38 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - how? | 18:38 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: i assume youre on KDE? | 18:38 |
| Roasted | yes | 18:38 |
| Kelvari | dasKreeCh: Have set DNS on laptop's connection preferences to 4.2.2.2 and still have problems. | 18:39 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: K > System settings > Display | 18:39 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - yep | 18:39 |
| coz_ | :) | 18:39 |
| Roasted | do something for me | 18:39 |
| Roasted | change your resolution, and reboot | 18:39 |
| Roasted | see if it sticks | 18:39 |
| FloodBotK1 | Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:39 |
| coz_ | ?? | 18:39 |
| Roasted | 3 computers I tested it on, not a single one stuck with the resolution. Went back to native when I rebooted. | 18:39 |
| Roasted | that was directed towards shadeslayer | 18:40 |
| coz_ | Roasted, t his is apparenlty something up with kubuntu but let me check somewhere else hols on | 18:40 |
| ozi | vishesh: Tanks Alot :D | 18:40 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: ah.. thats the problem,now i understand what my friend tried to say,he has the exact same problem :P | 18:40 |
| ozi | kopete just install icon pacakge for yahoo :)) | 18:40 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - I was just ranting when you came in in regard ot this because a problem like this just shouldnt....... exist. ya know? | 18:40 |
| vishesh | ozi : You're welcome. :-) | 18:40 |
| Kelvari | Roasted: I understand what you mean, in regards to Shade's problem. | 18:40 |
| ozi | tanks very much | 18:41 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: well the default behaviour is that it defaults to the best res | 18:41 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - oh yeah, and that's understandable. | 18:41 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: yeah,so if you need something tailored,you need to do some work :P | 18:41 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: I'm here | 18:41 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - I have a poor monitor that sucks at default resolution. Text is unreadable. What abuot me? I have to change the resolution after each reboot? Problems like this just shouldn't exist when the DE has been around for such a long time. | 18:41 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: Oh. I tested it out. The GNOME and KDE bluetooth apps have some common way of knowing who is paired and who isn't. And no info seems to be stored in /etc/Bluetooth | 18:42 |
| coz_ | Roasted, I think the xrandr options talked about on that link may help | 18:42 |
| coz_ | Roasted, would you pastebin.com your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please | 18:42 |
| dasKreeCh | Kelvari: does this only happen for google.com ? | 18:43 |
| Roasted | I can't. The battery died on that laptop. | 18:43 |
| coz_ | Roasted, oh yeah sorry | 18:43 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: well i think setting it in XOrg should work | 18:43 |
| Roasted | I have the charger in the car, but Im in the middle of eating lunch, so uh :P | 18:43 |
| Kelvari | No. It's now happening for https://addons.mozilla.org, which is putting me on the Google.com homepage. | 18:43 |
| coz_ | Roasted, lunch is way more important :) | 18:43 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: oh found another methid | 18:43 |
| shadeslayer | (if you use a nvidia GPU) | 18:44 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: shouldn't it be ~/.bluetooth ? | 18:44 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - yeah, I'm sure it is. It's just I feel as though Linux is pretty easy to use and the average user could adapt to it if need be. And seeing problems like this just completely crushes any positive "oh yeah you dont need to be a genius to use this" thing I ever said. :( | 18:44 |
| coz_ | shaamanime, intel for that machine | 18:44 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: do you have a nvidia card? | 18:44 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - 2 of the 3 systems I tested have nvidia, my laptop has intel | 18:44 |
| dasKreeCh | Kelvari: go to www.yahoo.com and see if that works | 18:44 |
| Roasted | all 3 did the same thing | 18:44 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: I have blueman and kBluetooth installed. kBluetooth has a pairing mechanism while blueman doesn't. If you unpair it from the mobile. Blueman doesn't work, bu kbluetooth asks for it to get paired. That was the first thing I looked for .. :-( | 18:44 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: ok in the nvidia settings set the res to whatever you want and click save to X config | 18:45 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: for the intel im not sure what to do | 18:45 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - yeahhhh :( | 18:45 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: So if you pair it with kbluetooth can blueman use it? | 18:45 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: Yup. But I have to initiate the request from my cell. | 18:46 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: im pretty sure it can be accomplished in gnome but not in KDE | 18:47 |
| dasKreeCh | vishesh: ok Hmm I remember something like this with MacOSX | 18:47 |
| shadeslayer | (gnome probably has better tools for this) | 18:47 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - yeah | 18:48 |
| Roasted | I used gnome for about 5 years | 18:48 |
| Roasted | I only recently swithced to KDE | 18:48 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: Wait. That doesn't necessarily mean they have a common storing place. Blueman tried to use connect to my cell, but my cell rejected it cause it wasn't paired. This means that blueman doesn't know anything about pairing .. I think.. damn. | 18:48 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: you see KDE 4.x is still under heavy development,i suggest you file a upstream bug at bugs.kde.cgi | 18:48 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: So, my inference in kinda wrong .. maybe | 18:48 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - I understand. But when I google something and it's a bug that's been around since the beginning of KDE's days, it's just like, wow really? | 18:49 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: maybe nobody paid attention to this,maybe nobody followed up,lots of reason to reopen the bug report or comment on it | 18:49 |
| Roasted | It's strange though, how selecting display kciks the resolution back | 18:49 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: also maybe the reporter didnt follow up | 18:50 |
| Roasted | once I reboot and it goes back to the old resolution, and I go to system settings - display, blam its back | 18:50 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - yeah, I guess its possible. I just didnt expect to find this many hits about it on google. SOMEBODY has to know about this. :( | 18:50 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: no its actually a problem with Xorg.conf.... its default behaviour is to select the best res for the PC | 18:50 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - well, does ubuntu have this problem? (gnome) | 18:50 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: maybe,maybe not, im not sure | 18:51 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - so you dont think its KDE dependent? | 18:51 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: well if gnome writes to xorg,its a kde problem,if not its both a kde and gnome problem | 18:51 |
| Roasted | well, the thing is, if you use nvidia-settings, you're writing to xorg. | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: exactly | 18:52 |
| Roasted | I'll bet any money on the desktops here with vnidia cards that if I write to xorg, KDE will be fine. | 18:52 |
| Roasted | buuuuuuut..... my intel lappy... :( | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: yep.. | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: edit it by hand | 18:52 |
| vishesh | dasKreeCh: I'm heading over to the blueZ website. Maybe they have some answers. I'll let you know. | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: you can read the wiki and set the res by yourself | 18:53 |
| shadeslayer | !res | Roasted | 18:53 |
| ubottu | Roasted: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 18:53 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - it's weird. I'm a terminal junkie. But as part of my job, I alwyas do the hard work, the research, development, preparation, etc, and then I relay that information and teach other people about it. | 18:53 |
| Roasted | I work in a school district with technology. So I have to set the stuff up and teach epople how to use it in class. | 18:53 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - so by nature, Im used to doing the dirty terminal work, but then I want there to be an easy to use gui or something for the end user to see, ya know. | 18:54 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: i think thats a pretty good job :) | 18:54 |
| Roasted | so even though I know its possible to edit the xorg file, I look at it from the mind set of a basic user - how would they edit the xorg file? I can think of about 99% of people I talk to daily who would be like yeah eff this wheres my windows cd again? | 18:54 |
| colton_ | I just got a new printer and am looking for linux device drivers (it only came with drivers for windows and mac). Where could I find them? | 18:54 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: 99pc of those normal people wouldnt want a horrid res as 800x600 | 18:55 |
| shadeslayer | colton_: there are no drivers for linux | 18:55 |
| shadeslayer | colton_: just plug it in and use it :P | 18:55 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - youd be surprised. There's some uh.. how do I say this...... | 18:55 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - ........old.......... teachers at work ;) | 18:55 |
| Roasted | just the other day someone asked me to change it. I changed it to 800x600 (the lowest) and she wanted the icons bigger yet. | 18:56 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - however, this was also a student computer for 1st graders. | 18:56 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: tell her to get better glasses or change her optician :P | 18:56 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - well, little kids were using it too, she just wanted it changed so nobody had issues with it | 18:56 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - my underlying point is, theres still a need to change resolution of systems, even if you "should" be using the native res for LCD monitors. | 18:57 |
| shadeslayer | hmm... i think plasma-netbook is the kind of thing youre looking for.. big icons | 18:57 |
| Kelvari | dasKreeCh: sorry about the wait. Going to www.yahoo.com works, and now addons.mozilla.org works. | 18:57 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - I havent used ATI in years. Does ATI have a control panel like nvidia does? | 18:57 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: ATi has more problems than nvidia,thats what ive heard | 18:58 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - Yeah, ATI has come a long way, but still trails behind nvidia in my opinion. I havent used them for a while though. | 18:58 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: although feel free to ask... | 18:58 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - I just wasnt sure if ATI had a control panel that could edit the xorg file the way nvidia does. | 18:58 |
| Tm_T | hi kids | 19:00 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: google around,ask here... i have no idea :) | 19:00 |
| shadeslayer | Tm_T: :D | 19:00 |
| Roasted | shadeslayer - it appears as if they do http://michaeleberhart.net/linux/ubuntu/8_10/ati_control.png | 19:01 |
| Roasted | I just wonder if it writes to xorg | 19:01 |
| shirosaki | .help | 19:02 |
| shadeslayer | Roasted: probably yes | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | Roasted, dunno about ati, but nvidia writes to xorg with the nvidia-xconfig command | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | err generates an xorg.conf file if one isn't already written | 19:04 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: we have discussed that :) | 19:05 |
| Roasted | it also writes to the xorg just by hitting "write to xorg" in the menu too | 19:06 |

| BluesKaj | Jayden, try opendns ... setup your gateway/router primary DNS 208.67.222.222, secondary DNS 208.67.220.220 ...see if that helps | 19:47 |
| Jayden | BluesKaj: Router is set up to use OpenDNS, still having severe issues. | 19:47 |
