[00:06] some cameras need that iitc [00:06] faileas: im not an expert [00:07] mauri: you don't need to be ;p [00:08] mauri: I'm no expert. I've been using Linux for only 9 months. What I have done is read and try new things. That's the way to become an expert at anything. [00:08] hm. they haven't been updated in two years ;p [00:08] which means the version in the distro should be the newest, i'd think === Traveler is now known as Guest66686 === joee22 is now known as Assass1n [00:11] e_t_: yes you are right.... but the time flies [00:19] faileas: do you drive me to compile the driver for the cam? [00:19] mauri: looking at the age of the drivers... i don't think it'll help [00:19] i did it about 3 years ago when they were still actively updated [00:19] faileas: where I can find the date? [00:20] its pretty obviously placed on the site [00:20] faileas: the date of the driver installed on my system [00:21] oh [00:21] you can't [00:21] you might be able to cross reference version numbers - these should be visible to the package manager - say kpackagekit [00:23] faileas: do you know wchich is the latest karmic kernek version? [00:24] 2.6.31-16 [00:27] may you tell me why on kernel.org is available the version 2.6.32.2 but it is not available under ubuntu repository? [00:28] mauri: cause usually distros lag behind the latest and greatest kernel [00:28] if you REALLY want the latest one, you'd need to compile it yourself [00:30] faileas: yes i understand thk [00:48] Hi ;) can someone help me to share a folder on kubuntu? i cannot do it as i did on gnome [01:02] Alan502: you can setup sharing in systemsettings > Advanced > Samba [01:14] Hi [01:14] How do I see where a program is installed? [01:14] I want to know where kcontrol is, but I forgot how it's possible to see it [01:14] Cause I want to make a shortcut till kcontrol on my desktop. [01:15] try 'whereis kcontrol' [01:15] cant you just type whereis kcontrol ? [01:15] oo Alan502 :) [01:15] Alan502: Ahh right [01:15] hahaha :) === hans is now known as Guest7002 [01:16] Ahhh [01:17] kcontrol changed place, that's why i didn't find it [01:17] It was in /usr/bin/kcontrol before, but now it's not there [01:17] I just installed Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE3, cause I don't like KDE4 [01:18] But when I tried 9.04 + KDE3 then I could install kedit and kview. I can't do that with 9.10 and KDE3. === ubuntu is now known as Shiggitay [01:40] !root [01:40] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:57] I installed a KDE desktop, restart, entered a very long time, there is no open, do not know if problems with it? [02:00] quick: do you just see a black screen after you log in? [02:02] no black screen, only logon screen [02:02] you can't log in? [02:04] yes [02:04] The mouse has become the shape of kubuntu, but it's still the login screen [02:05] OK, so you type in your name and password and it won't accept it? [02:06] I have already entered my user name and password. Can I try to restart? [02:07] You can try to restart. I don't know if it will do any good. [02:10] yes, I have enter the Kubuntu [02:11] quick: everything is OK now? [02:12] no,The interface displays the screen smaller than my computer's screen [02:13] I try to resize it [02:14] Wonderful,is all ok [02:15] quick: Good! [02:15] thanks [02:19] can anyone tell me what sound driver (if any) is included in ubuntu9.10? [02:19] for an nForce chipset [02:26] nevermind my previous question. Google is my friend. === ruben is now known as Guest71754 [02:45] alguien me puede ayudar? [02:48] sí, pero este canal es en inglés [02:50] ajam [02:50] no sabia [02:50] es que tengo un problema [02:50] no soy capaz [02:51] Guest71754: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:51] de escuchar los videos [02:51] de youtube [02:51] los voe perfectamente [02:51] pero no los escucho [02:51] #kubuntu-es or English Guest71754 [03:00] anyone know if, after resizing the ubuntu / (only) partition and moving both it and the swap partition to the end of the disk, from the installer cd with gparted, if i need to do anything special (with grub??) to make sure it boots when it's done? [03:04] gabex: make sure that grub is looking at the right partition number, it may have changed. /dev/sda1 would align to GRUB hd0,1, etc. === Quintasan1 is now known as Quintasan [03:11] i've heard talk of the ALSA driver putting out subpar sound. is it just that or are my new speakers that craptastic? === trmanco_ is now known as trmanco [03:14] lwiese87: your question is impossible to answer without knowing your speakers. [03:15] logitech ls21 [03:16] they sounded decent in the store. i'm not sure if it's because i'm playing music from pandora [03:17] I have never had a problem with ALSA per se, but I run everything through PulseAudio. I'm no audiophile, but my tiny (tinny) laptop speakers sound great to me. [03:20] is there a way of finding out what driver i'm using? [03:21] I don't know a way. Google might. [03:22] my motherboard has an nForce 2 chipset. it's AC97 5.1 sound. i plugged the input into the center channel since i can't afford a 5.1 system. [03:22] If the outputs are color-coded, you should plug the cable into the light-green port. [03:25] i get nothing there. [03:27] Click on the volume icon in the taskbar, then open the mixer and tell me what you see [03:28] no mixer option. i have sound preferences though [03:28] in System Settings? [03:29] negative there as well. i'm running Karmic Koala if that matters. [03:32] I don't recall anything named sound preferences. Are you using KDE4? [03:33] no KDE. gnome. yep...i'm in the kubuntu channel, eh? [03:34] Yes. you might want #ubuntu [03:35] thanks e_t_. this was the default room Konversation put me in. [03:39] I have a strange request. Or you might perceive it as strange. I like using kde4's new versions of the apps out there but am not comfortable with the DE. I am currentrly using gnome. How do I change the fonts in the kde 4 apps while in gnome? [03:41] White_Pelican: does anything happen if you try to run "systemsettings"? [03:43] yes, it crashes [03:44] what crashes? [03:45] systemsettings [03:45] does it crash, or does it not open at all? [03:45] it tries to open and I get the crash handler [03:46] OK. try sudo apt-get reinstall systemsettings [03:47] invalid operation reinstall [03:48] should I remove it then reinstall it? [03:48] replace "apt-get" with "aptitude", see if that works. [03:49] now it says it's not installed === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [03:50] very strange [03:51] OK, let's install it. It may have some other KDE dependencies, but not too big. It should allow you to configure all sorts of things about your KDE apps. [03:51] it crashes again [03:51] sigsev 11 [03:51] sigsegv 11 [03:52] bear in mind I don't hav all of kde 4 installed, just the apps I am using [03:52] OK. Try sudo apt-get install kde-minimal. [03:52] for what purpose? [03:55] System Settings is the only way I know of to (easily) change KDE apps appearance. Installing it directly, or kde-minimal should allow you to use it without bogging down with too many un-needed packages. [03:55] looks like it wants to bring in a lot of apps [03:56] what kind of disk usage? [03:57] 112 mb's [03:57] I'm also concerned it will affect my kde3 desktop [03:57] pearson computing [04:00] he calls it 3.5.11 - trinity [04:00] I guess he forked it [04:00] If you are only concerned about font sizes, you can directly edit ~/.kderc [04:01] ah [04:01] yes I am [04:01] is it xml or a text file? [04:02] text [04:03] where is it located? [04:04] /home/username [04:04] At least, that's where it is for me. [04:04] ok I see it but it's relate to my kde 3 settings, not kde 4 [04:05] You are using KDE4 apps? [04:05] yes [04:08] Do your GNOME settings not apply to KDE apps? [04:08] they don't appear to no,and i don't know how to tell them to [04:08] if there is such a way to [04:09] With QtCurve, you can make GNOME apps look like KDE, but I don't know of a way to do the reverse. [04:09] hmmm [04:15] hey, tried installing firefox with the installer kubuntu 9.10 gave me, when i launch it, it doesn't show up, and about 10-15 seconds after the mouse pointer changes back to default [04:15] when i launch firefox from the terminal i get a bus error, any ideas? [04:17] White_Pelican: you could take a look at this: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1714/ [04:18] e_t_, any ideas? [04:18] sudo apt-get reinstall firefox [04:19] OR, post the error you get from the terminal [04:19] Bus Error [04:19] and thats all [04:19] How entirely unhelpful === tom_ is now known as crweb2 [04:20] and this is my fault how/ [04:20] The error message, not you [04:20] ah, sounded like you were blaming it on me :P [04:20] Sorry. [04:20] its fine [04:21] Try a reinstall. Maybe it didn't get all its bits in place. [04:21] so i just run that command you gave me in terminal? [04:22] e_t_, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to gather from that web site [04:29] White_Pelican: mainly that other people have a similar problem. You may also wish to look at http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/Styles/GtkStyle [04:30] paco_the_taco: yes, just run "sudo apt-get reinstall firefox" in a terminal (without quotes) [04:31] e_t_, http://pastebin.com/m750ac26d [04:32] sudo aptitude reinstall firefox [04:32] I guess apt-get does not have 'reinstall' [04:33] still not working [04:33] ( i mean firefox) === jimmy_ is now known as bgfghfghfghjjj [04:36] paco_the_taco: press crtl+esc keys [04:37] now? [04:37] Yes. It will bring up the System Activity box, like Windows' Task Manager. [04:38] yuppers [04:39] In the search bar, start typing "firefox". That will isolate any running firefox processes [04:39] no firefox's running [04:39] OK, just checking. [04:42] "sudo apt-get purge firefox xulrunner-1.9.1" Then "sudo apt-get install firefox" [04:45] also e_t_ while trying to install i theme, i noticed i dont have install new theme, or remove theme, or apply theme paths (in this picture http://www.kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/87921-1.png) [04:48] I don't understand [04:48] hmm i shall take a screenshot [04:48] btw firefox is working now, thanks [04:48] Good. [04:50] e_t_, the one on the right is mine 'http://i45.tinypic.com/mm3dyv.png' [04:50] i dont have the install new theme buttons on kubuntu 9.10 [04:53] I see now. Currently, you're using the Oxygen window decorations. "sudo apt-get install kwin-style-dekorator" will get you the DeKorator style that is used in the first picture. You can select which to use in the first (uppermost) drop-down box on that tab, once it's installed. [04:54] oo e_t_ your awesome [04:54] I try. [04:55] oo now seriously :) [04:56] skype performs much worse with ubuntu (voice and video) as compared to windows why ?? [04:57] blame the developers. [04:57] udee: because the Skype developers don't care as much about Linux as they do about Windows. Also, Skype is not open source, so the community cannot improve upon it. [04:59] e_t_, what about installing a compiz theme? [05:00] well any open source option on skype ? [05:00] udee: nope [05:00] oo changed my mind, i meant Emerald* [05:01] :( thats so very sad i have to switch to windows to chat' [05:01] whats up guys [05:01] Personally, I like Kwin better than Compiz, but to each their own. [05:01] udee - theres skype for linux. [05:02] udee: take a look at Ekiga: www.ekiga.org [05:02] e_t_, same, any idea on installing a Emerald theme? [05:06] I don't know if Emerald will work with KDE. To get compiz with KDE, install the package "compiz-kde". [05:11] i've got a 'mount' related question. i'm using Kubuntu 9.10 and i've searched the Net for the answer but i've come up empty handed thus far [05:12] each time i try to mount the cdrom from the command line, i get a 'fs type' , bad superblock, and the /dev/sr0 is read-only message [05:13] this use to be straight forward in past Kubuntu releases [05:15] restagner: is there a reason not to use the graphical tools? [05:16] e_t_: its easier to give instructions in cli ;p [05:16] Is this an audio CD? Or data? [05:17] the graphical tools work just great...however, i'm also using VirtualBox and when I boot up into the VM machine and run Windows 7, inserting a cd has no effect...that is, the cdrom does not appear within the virtual machine...works just fine in the host machine (linux) [05:17] audio CD [05:17] How can I turn off the log in/out sounds to kubuntu? As much as I love kubuntu, the log in/out sounds are laughably retarded. [05:18] restagner: don't you have to explcitly attach the device in vbox? i haven't used it in a while, so i could be wrong [05:18] restagner: it's impossible to mount an audio CD as far as I know. [05:18] falleas: hhhmmm...u could be right about that [05:18] I think he is. [05:18] probably a setting i'm overlooking [05:20] restagner: from Dolphin or Konqueror, you can try the audiocd:/ kioslave. [05:21] e_t_: ok...thanks folks, you've got me thinking about attaching the device in vbox as well as playing around with the audiocd:/ option [05:21] gonna give that a try [05:23] is ClamAV available on the LiveCD? [05:24] draik: you can run it off one. i suppose. [05:25] er.. not by default i mean [05:27] Roasted: If you're in KDE 4 try looking in Control Center for something related to "Audio" or "Sounds". In KDE 3 I know that it's under Actions>Settings>Sound & Multimedia>System Notifications [05:28] yeah man I just found it actually [05:28] thanks much! [05:29] faileas: OK. Just curious about it. [05:52] Can someone help me what type of source/command I can add to a custom script to refresh desktop on startup (.kde3) [05:53] I have a keycode script I found online for F5, but this doesn't refresh the desktop in .kde3 [06:06] hey fellas - how is compiz set up with kubuntu? Do I use the manager like I do in ubuntu? Or are the features somehow integrated to kde? === irfan is now known as Guest20332 [06:35] is it possible to use the single instance of dolphin? like if it is already open, then hitting dolphin icon/link should open the same dolphin window instead of opening a new instance [06:36] why not just use separate tabs? [06:38] but let's say if one instance of Dolphin is already running, and when I hit the dolphin Icon again from the menu, it opens a new instance of dolphin [06:39] *shrug* I dont know how to force it to a new tab of the existing dolphin... it was just an idea === hemathor_ is now known as hemathor [06:42] ohk, that's exactly what i want :) i want it to open a new tab, or just maximize the existing dolphin window rather than opening a new one [06:42] yeah - I'm not too sure how to do that offhand to be honest. [06:43] I run dual screen so I always have it opening in a spearate instance so Ihave both dolphin windows open at once [06:43] same is the case with some of the other aaps like kate, gwenview etc... it always opens a new instance [06:44] kate has tabs too - not sure about gwenview [06:47] yea but how can you force kate to open a new file in tabview rather than openinig a new window [06:48] no idea. I never came across a need for that dso I never found out. [06:49] anybody running the 3d cube effects in kde? [06:49] particularly with duals creen monitors? [07:34] i have 110GB used on a 120GB partition but only 5GB used by the filesystem [07:34] any ideas? [07:40] Okay, I've got three widgets on my desktop. I want to align them vertically. How do I go about this? I can't seem to find an option anywhere. [07:45] CntntsNdrPrssr: I think widgets are meant to stay where you put them. I'm assuming you want widgets to be automatically aligned [07:45] iconmefisto: That or align one widget to another. [07:47] you can align icons to a grid, but I don't think widgets work that way [07:47] iconmefisto: Alright, manually it is. Thanks! [07:48] you can lock them in place one you've positioned them the way you want [08:05] new to kubuntu and linux for that matter. so far i'm loving it. i have a slow connection and would like to try out kubuntu. i have the cd but dont want to blow away ubuntu. any idea on how to do this? [08:05] joshdcrosby: you could just run it live [08:05] or install the kubuntu-desktop package alongside ubuntu [08:05] i did, love the live. want to dedicate this box to ubuntu/kubuntu [08:06] i have the cd, isn't a simple as copy or cmd line. trying to avoid downloading from synaptic. slowwwww clonnection here [08:14] try adding the kubuntu cdrom to your sources.list, then install kubuntu-desktop [08:15] in my sources.list, the cdrom is there but is commented out: # deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)]/ karmic main restricted [08:17] oh, he's gone [09:21] good afternoon channel kubuntu === jimmy_ is now known as gheddy_zarc === root is now known as Guest28010 === mike is now known as Guest26354 === Life is now known as Guest77769 === Guest77769 is now known as karmic === ubuntu is now known as e8b [10:47] Hi, where does kopete store it's list of accounts?

[11:22] shadeslayer: sorry... but karmic kubuntu isn't the stable version?

[11:41] shadeslayer_: the question is: how can remove the applications dont installed by kpackagekit? [11:42] mauri_: sudo apt-get remove (package name goes here) [11:42] mauri_: so if you want to remove amsn : sudo apt-get remove amsn [11:43] mauri_: make uninstall in the source tree [11:43] mauri_: if you've tried to install it from source [11:43] shadeslayer_: ok i.ve tried but it didn't work... probably my fault something.. [11:43] emilian: he wants to remove the package installed by kpackagekit [11:43] emilian: please may yoou explain [11:43] mauri_: um did you install it from the repo in the first place?

[14:53] or i'll have to deal lots of problems on my way for installin the said kubuntu os? [14:53] pat|nG: it should work fine [14:56] You have a choice here to either install Kubuntu on the hard drive alone or keep your Windows installation and install Kubuntu next to Windows. <--- what does it mean? i don't get it...if i do i'm not sure of it...mind to explain? [14:57] if you're using vmware, just choose "on the hard drive alone" [15:11] Vroomfondle: if i'll try that vmware thingy can i still run the 3D desktop on it? [15:12]
