Bearcatfolks, i just installed the most recent kubuntu install disc over an older installation. When i log-in to kde i see the desktop flash for a moment then it boots me back out to the kdm screen. Somtimes the splash screen gets as far as the desktop icon and it boots me out. Looking in my .xsession-errors file i see that it's complaining about x-terminal-emulator : Fatal IO error: client killed.00:06
Bearcatany ideas? I'm not sure where else to look00:06
xixoryo, if I just installed a package and it installed a ton of other libs, and now I don't want that package, is there a way I can uninstall everything that was installed?00:12

urthmoverI have just installed kubuntu-desktop.  What is the keyboard shortcut to bring up the launch menu?  Alt+F1 Alt+F2 do not seem to do anything?05:08
tsimpsonright click the launcher to get to its settings, there is a place to configure it there05:08
urthmoverso there an no keyboard shortcuts by default is that right?05:09
kubianalt+f2 will bringup sometjhing like a run command05:09

meowbuntusound-juicer does not allow me to extract to mp3 how can i do that. do i need a codex for it05:11
kubianurthmover: don't understand exactly what's your problem05:11

kubianwhat r u trying to do? if u installed kubuntu then during startup you select what DE u want gnome or kde session05:13
urthmoverI chose kde for the default environment05:13
kubianif kded session then you can see the task panel below and on the far left is the "K" to start things05:14
urthmoverkubian: yes I am definitely using KDE .  the problem is that I am unable to figure out any keyboard shortcuts to do things  like bring up the launch menu05:15
kubianu shud configure them in system-settings05:15
urthmoverI have read the Alt+F1 is the default for that....but mine doesn't seem to be working correctly.  when I look in the Standard keyboard shortcuts....I'm having trouble figuring out which binding belongs to the launcher menu for example05:16
meowbuntuhow do i get the codex to convert to mp305:17
urthmoverkubian: have I described this issue thoroughly?05:17
kubiani never used kb srt cuts but since u mentioned it i just used it and alt+f1 worked05:17

Krezkeyhey folks....can anyone tell me the app name that lets you switch between window managers. like kde,gnome,emerald09:06
ForgeAushehe kdm?09:08
ForgeAusits where you log out and log back in09:08
ForgeAusselecting the WM in the process...09:08
KrezkeyI thought there was one that you can get to from system settings09:09
ForgeAusits also not an app you run as much as it is a service/daemon thingy that is ran for you09:09
ForgeAuswell not so much in system settings09:09
ForgeAusthats actually a kde thing09:09
ForgeAus(used to be kcontrol in KDE and system-settings was a custom one for Kubuntu)09:09
ForgeAusbut now its merged into one kinda...09:09
ForgeAusanyway...09:09
KrezkeyI thought I saw a switcher tool in settings in one of the distros09:09
ForgeAusKDM is where you set gnome, kde, etc...09:09
ForgeAusbut you can run stuff like kwin -replace or fluxbox -replace or whatever wm your using09:10
Krezkeyok...now how do I do it...lol09:10
ForgeAus(note: theres a difference between a WM and a Desktop09:10
Krezkeychange it in kde I mean09:10
ForgeAusGnome is a desktop, (uses metacity which is the WM its based on)09:10
ForgeAusKDE is a desktop (runs on kwin WM)09:11
ForgeAusthere a few desktops out there, but many more WM's09:11
Krezkeywell I added emerald and some window themes and wanted to try them out. but as you can see I can't figure it out09:11
ForgeAusemerald is compiz isn't it?09:11
Krezkeyit said it was compiz addon and wm app. so not sure09:12
Krezkeyit is standalone or have to hace compiz09:12
Krezkeyhave to09:13
ForgeAusyeah compiz is a WM that gives 3D fx for desktop, really you shouldn't need it with KDE4 since Kwin has 3dFX etc...09:13
ForgeAusbut Emerald is just a part of it that lets you select decorators basically...09:13
Krezkeythats what I wanted to try...the decorators09:14
ForgeAusok09:14
Krezkeyguess I'll mess with it a little more09:15

paulsomebodyI have a problem installing drivers for my multi functional. Driver packages are okay, GDebi says all dependencies are satisfied, but when I install first of two packages GDebi provides me with an error message stating than it needs but cannot find package named 'libcupsys2'. Ubuntu Package Search says that this package is already provided by 'libcups2'. What could I do to finally fix it? 'libcupsys2' is already installed. There14:56

BluesKajpaulsomebody_, i don't like using gdebi installer because it fails sometimes . Use the terminal : 'sudo dpkg -i 'name of package'15:05
paulsomebody_BluesKaj: Still doesn't work, I have tried that.15:05
paulsomebody_BluesKaj: Have your read what my problem is?15:06
BluesKajpaulsomebody_, make sure you have all your source repositotries enabled in your package manager or sources.list15:06
BluesKajerr repositories15:06
paulsomebody_BluesKaj: Hmm. I have.15:07
paulsomebody_BluesKaj: Problem is — package 'libcupsys2' is no longer present in repository, it's features are now provided with 'libcups2' packages or something like that. I have read this in the Ubuntu Package Search pages. But this driver still depends upon this old package.15:08
geniipaulsomebody_: I'd suggest: sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=libcupsys2 <packagename-from-Canon-here>15:08
paulsomebody_genii: That is idea.15:09
BluesKajpaulsomebody_, yeah , unfortunately the printer/cups driver situation is a problem with some printers. If you have a HP printer try the hplip driver package . Otherwise search for a separate driver package for your printer combo device15:10

BluesKajpaulsomebody_, maybe i din't see your original question .. I just got here 40 mins ago15:16
daskreechpaulsomebody_: ha ha No Just perhaps he did not see where you mentioned canon15:17
paulsomebody_BluesKaj: What are we arguing about? I have been already helped, solved my problem and go on with computing happily.15:17

ilumi thanks, so i installed java as root, and im trying to run a java program as user but it cant find java, how can i make sure that all the java programs that run as user can see java?15:18
paulsomebody_To run java program you should probably type 'java <program>' or ''java -jar <program>'.15:19

jce0694let me try this one last time:  is there any place where i can get up-to-date information on using the kde desktop environment.  i'm caught between a rock and a hard place here as there are many current books out on ubuntu (which uses gnome) and all the books on kubuntu are old (as well as the kubuntu 9.04 built in help which was last revised in 2004)... are there any documents where i can get current (at least a year old) informa21:43
jce0694tion on using the kde desktop?21:43
renato_ho, how do I install the kernel source for ubuntu server?21:44
apersonjce0694, what do you specifically want to know?  for general information I just search through blogs21:46
renato_I did that already, and all I could find is that is HIGHLY deprecated21:47
apersonrenato_, that wasn't directed at you.21:48
renato_ok21:48
aperson!ubuntu-server > renato_21:48
ubotturenato_, please see my private message21:48
jce0694thnx but i want a structured approach to learning linux kde instead of randomly stumbling around in the dark until I find what I'm looking for... it's a matter of efficiency... i'll learn much faster if there's a strutured approach to learning this21:48
ilumijce0694: kde4 is still in heavy development , thats why there isnt much documentation on it yet21:49
renato_I saw it, I already know that. I need to change/recompile ftd:sio.c because of a bug with handling an usb smartmouse21:49
ilumijce0694: because things change all the time21:49
jce0694the help documentation that comes with the OS is a major disappointment... it was last updated in 2004... i don't understand that... programmers spend all this time writing code (which is the hard part) but when it comes to documentation (the easy part) they just don't seem to care.... why?21:50
apersonjce0694, I"m sure youve seen: http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/guide.php21:51
ilumisee  answer above21:51
jce0694i mean there's alot of things that change... why can't the software developers change the documentation as they change the OS... seems simple enuf21:52

jce0694i'm confused... what's the difference between kde 4.3 and kubuntu 9.10?22:05
kriss3dwell kde is how ubuntu shows itself to you22:05
kriss3dkubuntu is the linux distro which uses kde (not sure which version in 9.10 but i assume latest)22:05
jce0694so if i have kubuntu 9.10 then i have kde 4.3 installed?22:06
kriss3di belive so yes.. though im not sure which version of kde is used in kubuntu 9.1022:06
jce0694ok... thnx22:07
