zelharDoes anyone have problems with dolphin ?00:05
EagleScreenzelhar: what problems are you talking about?00:06
zelharAnyway when I open dolphin it maxes out cpu and takes like a minute to until I can see my home dir, and basically every action stalls to the point of it being completely useless00:07
maurizelhar: have you tried using "kdesu dolphin"... is it the same?00:08
zelharlets see...00:08
zelharI tried using dolphoin as root, it is still slow, but not as slow as the user dolphin00:11
zelharSo can I delete some cache files or setting files to reset dolphin for the user account ?00:13
maurizelhar: try to rename the folder under .kde/share/apps/dolphin00:14
zelharok...00:15
zelharshould I logout before I try dolphin again ?00:15
zelharThe problems seems to persist ...00:16
maurizelhar: im not too expert...probably it could be caused by a wrong mounting point... but im not sure00:17
zelharAny suggestion where should I seek a solution ?00:18
mauriEagleScreen: are you still there?00:20
EagleScreenyes mauri00:22

javier_It was working well the other day, i think it can be something very simple... but dont get to know what's it00:30
EagleScreenmauri: any progress?00:35
mauriEagleScreen: unfortunately no00:35
EagleScreenyou should consider installing the Debian amsn00:36
mauriEagleScreen: is it different?00:36
mauriEagleScreen: do you thing it could work00:36
EagleScreenyes, it is well compiled against Farsihgt00:38
EagleScreenyou need to install four packages with gdebi00:39
mauriEagleScreen: have you made same trials in this timeframe?00:39

prefrontalhow do I downgrade from KDE SC 4.4 Beta 2 to 4.3.4, using the Kubuntu PPA?00:52
EagleScreenpre i may help you00:54
EagleScreenprefrontal: please a moment00:54
prefrontalok thanks00:56
EagleScreenhi prefrontal, to start, disable Kubuntu Beta PPA00:59
prefrontalok01:00
jonftleHey all, I'm having some trouble with audio in Kubuntu 9.10. The system plays its startup/shutdown noises, and Banshee can play audio via gStreamer, and vlc and flash work fine, but the Multimedia section of the System Settings menu reports that my ALSA and PulseAudio devices are not responding - any thoughts?01:00
EagleScreenupgrading a big amount of packages is very easy, but downgrading is a quite complex01:00
EagleScreenjonftle: are the working device first int he list?01:01
prefrontalyes i'm not sure what command to use01:01
EagleScreenprefrontal: you have to uninstall all KDE packages and later reinstall them in 4.3 version, if your internet connection is fast, it won't take too much time01:02
prefrontalperhaps I can just uninstall kde01:02
jonftleEagleScreen: From the System Settings menu, neither of the devices work. However, I still get audio out of them with vlc, flash, Banshee, and system sounds01:02
prefrontalright.. so what is the master kde package?01:03
prefrontalperhaps kdm..01:03
prefrontalor kubuntu-desktop ?01:03
jonftleEagleScreen: but I'm running a WinXP instance in Virtual Box, and it reports on boot that the system audio devices do not respond. This causes any app that creates audio output in the VM to hang01:03
jonftleEagleScreen: so basically, my question is, how can the system recognize the audio devices as being broken, yet they still work in some apps? And is there any way to fix them?01:03
EagleScreenprefrontal: before you proceed, you must to know that you may need to do this job in a tty terminal, do u know what i am talking about?01:04
prefrontalyeah i'm good..01:04
EagleScreenjonftle: i dont know what to tell you01:04
jkeefwhat it do what it do01:04
jkeefhave to say i enjoy KDE better than gnome..01:05
EagleScreenprefrontal: drop to a tty, install uninstall kdelibs and later install meta-package kubuntu-desktop again and any other kde apps you want01:05
prefrontalok thanks01:05
jonftleEagleScreen: Thanks. If you know of anybody who has an understanding of Kubuntu audio, please forward them to me.01:07
EagleScreenjonftle: KDE4 audio detection sometimes become a bit crazzy01:08
EagleScreensometimes some audio devices dissapear for it01:09
EagleScreenand sometimes they come back01:09
kaddi_and sometimes they don't :p01:10
EagleScreenwhen any audio device dissapear for KDE, KDE shows a warning message, and ask for ignoring that devices01:10
jonftleEagleScreen: I've noticed that myself - sometimes when I boot, flash and vlc have no audio, but a restart often fixes the problem. Any idea what project is responsible for audio in KDE 4? I'd like to have a chat with them01:11
EagleScreenif you dont ignore them, you must put them in lower places in the list01:11
EagleScreenmay be solid01:11
EagleScreenjonftle: you can chat with them at #kde-dev i think01:12
EagleScreenit is #kde-devel01:12
jonftleEagleScreen: Problem is that I only have two devices in my list - ALSA and PulseAudio, and neither work01:13
jonftleEagleScreen: so it's not really a priority thing01:13
EagleScreeni ahve HDA Intel (Analog) and Pulseaudio01:14
EagleScreenPulseaudio never works, it seems like a virtual device01:14
jonftleEagleScreen: I have HD Intel (AD198x Analog) and PulseAudio01:14
EagleScreenHDA Intel (analog) is the real working audio device01:14
jonftleEagleScreen: and neither work when I use the test button in the Multimedia Settings panel01:15
jonftleEagleScreen: but like I said, something clearly works01:15
EagleScreenthe problem must be in Phonon or solid01:16
jonftleEagleScreen: Can you elaborate? I've never heard of either of those subsystems?01:17
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
EagleScreenSolid is the Hardware detection layer in KDE01:17
EagleScreenand Phonon is the audio server frontend for ALSA or other01:18
jonftleEagleScreen: I see. I'm a recent convert from Windows. On that platform, I would blame drivers. But on Linux, I really don't know where to start, because my system seems to be lying to me01:18
EagleScreeni am not sure if your problem is driver related or is a matter of a still bit buggy KDE401:20
prefrontalEagleScreen, i don't have the right metapackage for reinstallation.. nuking kdelibs5 did nuke all the kde packages, but kdelibs, kdelibs5 nor kubuntu-desktop pull them all back in01:20
prefrontali wonder, what target does the install media use?01:21
EagleScreenkdelibs is not installed by fedault in a Kubuntu system01:21
prefrontalhere is the output of install kubuntu-desktop: http://pastebin.ca/raw/173460801:22
prefrontali created a command that tried to install those packages, but i got even more such errors01:22
EagleScreenprefrontal: you must remove package kdelibs5-data to remove all KDE stuff, and later install kubuntu-desktop metapackage to install Kubuntu and KDE apps again01:22

kc2cfi_im trying to use it with a bp-2m modem01:24

EagleScreendid you install Qt 4.6?01:35
prefrontalit had qt 4.6 yes.. it installs that automatically01:35
EagleScreeni dont think so01:35
EagleScreenbut let me see01:35
prefrontalit does, i checked :)01:36
prefrontalthe software is developed in our lab, and we use Qt01:36
prefrontalour software works with Qt 4.6 on osx without any bugs, so I think it's a window manager issue01:36
EagleScreenyes, you ahve reason01:37
prefrontalsweet, my desktop is back01:37
prefrontalthanks a lot EagleScreen01:37
EagleScreenKDE4 had a lot drawing issues with Qt 4.5.001:38
EagleScreenthey were fixed for Qt 4.5.1, may be the same woth Qt 4.601:38
prefrontalwell actually i am still linked against qt 4.601:39
prefrontalso i don't think it's a qt issue now01:39
EagleScreenare you now using KDE 4.3.2 + Qt 4.6?01:40
prefrontalyep, according to kde4-config01:41

rob-the media player doesnt really matter, its the codec doing the work09:18

KOPRajsyou need either package for your distro or compile it yourself10:33

Alarmwell thats the page i got http://www.kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7510:36
Alarmbut nothing that interesting and total 6-7 results10:36
KOPRajsAlarm: you can use this one native KDE4 decoration and then you can use any theme under deKorator section... there is some Vista-like I think: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/deKorator?content=8792110:37

Guest18804KOPRajs    Konverstation    I use standard KUbuntu IRC10:46
KOPRajsGuest18804: KDE3 or KDE4?10:47
Guest18804I do not know10:47
KOPRajsGuest18804: I don't actually know Konversation very well, but I would look into it's setting if there is some option to start it after login10:47
Guest18804KOPRajs   I use kubuntu 810:47
KOPRajsso KDE310:47
KOPRajs8.04 ?10:48
Guest18804KOPRajs  may be10:48
KOPRajsthen go to Konversation settings and look for such an option10:48
KOPRajsalso10:48
KOPRajswhen shutting down the PC look at system tray if Konversation is really turned off... could be that KDE's session manager automatically start it up if it was running during shutdown10:49
Guest18804KOPRajs  man    where can I look at my OS version?10:49
KOPRajsGuest18804: actually I'm new to Ubuntu/Kubuntu and I'm not sure what is the correct way of checking the version :))10:52
KOPRajsGuest18804: it is written in Grub when you choose OS to start for example10:52
Guest18804KOPRajs  ok ))10:53
KOPRajsbut there are many ways to see the version for sure10:53

muhammad_worked for me...11:43

srakahow many a hard drive you have??11:46
paulsomebodyI have one drive labeled 'sda', sda1 is linux root partition, sda2 is swap and sda3 is NTFS with XP.11:46

paulsomebody'sudo fdisk -l' returns that - http://pastebin.ca/173494011:49
srakatry the paulsomebody sey11:50
srakaor try install by console11:50
paulsomebodysraka: What are the necessary steps?11:51
nidhalhello, and happy new year11:52
muhammad_paulsomebody: try install grub first it will let you boot into your linux there you can do a sudo update-grub2. I just recalled that i dint know abt this grub2 thing and these are the steps i followed11:52
nidhalit is possible to rename or delete windows files?11:52
srakaor read documentation of gentoo install there is of instalation of grub or lilo by console11:52
muhammad_nidhal, Yes it is possible.11:52
paulsomebodysraka: Gentoo documentation? Are you okay?11:53
nidhalhow? I tried to rename a file but it says read-only11:53
paulsomebodynidhal: Then mount partition read-write.11:53
srakaonly the subject about grub11:53
nidhalhow to do that?11:54
muhammad_nidhal: your question is way too generic.. what files do you want to delete?11:54
paulsomebodysraka: I used to think it isn't very user-friendly.11:54
muhammad_nidhal: it would be great if you give a little more info about your setup.11:54
srakai now but i once install like that and it work11:55
nidhalwell, I want to delete the virus, if it startup, it stuck the pc11:55
muhammad_ok. so u are accessing windows partition from ubuntu and want to delete some files.11:56
srakato my its isn't hard becouse i install gentoo11:56
faileasnidhal: sure, you'd need to mount it with ntfs-3g. its really a good idea to run a AV livedisk or 2 rather than deleting things by hand tho11:56
nidhalthat's right11:57
nidhalI don't know what happen but I'm unable to boot any CD...11:57
muhammad_nidhal: System: > Administration> Disk Utility select the partition and mount it . See the parition type when mounitng and set is appropriate.11:58
muhammad_Boot any CD ? do you have CD Drive Boot  option selected in the BIOS Setup? or you may try a boot menu selector by using the Bios key.11:59
nidhal@muhammad I can't find "Administration" in System12:02
nidhalalso there is no selector menu in bios...12:03

z0manoh well done :)12:15
paulsomebodyNow I have to add XP to the GRUB boot list.12:16
z0manDid you install your OS on top of XP?12:16
paulsomebodyNo, vice-versa and later restored GRUB2.12:17
z0manooo, def a little scary way of doing it12:17
z0manSounds interesting though :) As I have already done the usual way.12:17
paulsomebodyNot a bit if you know what are you doing.12:18
z0mantrue :)12:18
z0mandid you have to fiddle with the partitions of XP? Removing it's boot flag?12:18
paulsomebodyNo, I have written a GRUB2 into the MBR.12:19
paulsomebodyNTFS partition stays bootable, but loader pays no attention to it.12:19
z0manOoh12:19
z0manso you just run a liveCD boot then run update-grub?12:20
z0manSorry for the 20 questions heh12:20
paulsomebodyNo, I have followed HowTo covering a topic. Wait, I'll give a link.12:21

paulsomebodyz0man: Run 'sudo fdisk -l' command afterwards, even if 'Boot' flag are only on NTFS partition, MBR with GRUB2 will be booted.12:24
muhammad_paulsomebody: how did u manage to restore the boot loader?12:25
paulsomebodyFirst HowTo worked very well, my cautiosness was false alert.12:25
paulsomebodyLink above.12:26
muhammad_got it.12:26
muhammad_did u try sudo update-grub2 now ??12:26
=== Dekans[afk] is now known as Dekans
muhammad_when i did so it automatically looked up all the partitions and added windows to the boot options list12:27
paulsomebodyIt proven itself to be useless, at least for me.12:27
muhammad_i did so because i found no way to edit the grub.cfg file12:27
paulsomebodyAs I have already said this works for GRUB, but I have GRUB2.12:27
paulsomebodyGRUB2 do not use menu.lst or whatsoever.12:28
muhammad_yes it uses grub.cfg and thats where manual editing fails.12:28
paulsomebodyTake a look here, 'Dual-booting section'. Nice workaround without manually editing enything.12:29
paulsomebodyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub212:29
paulsomebodyActually, you were right with 'update-grub2' command, but it isn't helpful alone.12:31
paulsomebodySorry, 'update-grub'.12:31

muhammad_great. have fun.12:35
paulsomebodymuhammad_: Already having. :)12:35
muhammad_this is interesting that things went quite smooth for me, i was surprised to see that update-grub2 did all for me.12:36
paulsomebodymuhammad_: Quote that explains: "grub.cfg is updated when update-grub is run. Changes to grub.cfg should be made to the appropriate script files and not to the grub.cfg file itself. "12:39

sonaiconmefisto: ok, can I create one in /etc/X11 or is there another way to get the correct resolution16:29
iconmefistosona: yes, you can create one. have you tried setting res in systemsettings?16:30
Neteiconmefisto: Thanks. I thought Firefox would be smarter.16:30
sonaiconmefisto: the correct resolution 1920x1200 is not listed there16:31
sonaiconmefisto: but X uses the correct driver, how does it now what to use ?16:32
iconmefistosona: I'm not sure how it works exactly, but X configures itself automatically these days. but you can still override things with a xorg.conf file16:34
sonaiconmefisto: ok, thanks16:35
ice_ageany amarok user here?16:36
iconmefistoice_age: lyrics of the currently playing track should show up in the lyrics window16:37
ice_ageit fetches but doesn,t show16:37
ice_agethe lyrics exist as shown by rythmbox16:37
iconmefistoice_age: you could try using a different lyrics script16:38
ice_agei tried all but no avail16:38
iconmefistoice_age: have you tried ultimate lyrics? that's what I'm using and it works for most songs16:41
ice_ageok i will try it16:41
ice_ageok fine16:48
ice_agethanks iconmefisto it worked16:48
iconmefistoice_age: ok great. which script were you using before?16:48
ice_agetwo or three i suppose such as wiki16:49
ice_agedo you think they moved or expired16:49
iconmefistoyou should only use one lyrics script. there may be updated scripts too. the source pages sometimes change formats etc and the script would need to do things differently to get the text from the page16:51
ice_agesorry i was using just lyrics wiki- the name is lyricswiki that was installed by default with amarok.16:52
ice_ageThe others two were not for lyrics16:52
ice_ageDo you think lyricswiki has bug16:53
ice_ageshould i report it as bug?16:54
ice_ageAny way i searched a hell lot in ubuntuforum but could not make it work. Thanks you solved a problem i have been searching for a week. Rhythmbox and bansee sucks (in interface)16:55
iconmefistoice_age: I don't know. maybe. there may be an updated one if you look in "get more scripts". the button says "update" instead of "install" when there is a newer version of an installed script16:55
petsoundsice_age, what version of amarok?16:56
ice_age2.2.0 that came with kubuntu 9.10 alternate cd install16:57
petsoundsice_age, update it. 2.2.1 fix lyrics problem16:58
ice_ageok i shall thanks anyway16:58
