[00:03] xdcc [00:25] i always see screenshots of rather unique desktop configurations... are there any decent sites w/ walkthroughs on how to setup non-default configurations? [00:30] Windopain: Such as? [00:30] just various looks/feels for the desktop [00:30] don't have anything specific at the moment [00:31] kinda an abstract question... guess it's either, "yeah, thissite.com" or "wtf are you talkinga bout" :) [00:32] <[Relic]> daskreech, in the old version it would just be a normal file list or thumbnails, in the live cd I couldn't find any way of showing just a file list, it always had thumbnails in gwenview [00:34] [Relic]: Far as I know it's just thumbnails. What would you want with a plain listing? [00:35] <[Relic]> animations that at 24 frames a second will all look quite the same [00:35] Windopain: I know what you are talking about about but it's a lot of variety out there [00:36] [Relic]: There would be no animations with a plain listing :) [00:36] <[Relic]> precisely I could just pick the frame to check that I needed rather than being distracted by the other 2400+ thumbnails [00:37] [Relic]: Ah you have a whole set of photos that all look the same? [00:38] So you know what you are looking for by name? [00:38] <[Relic]> you can easily end up with a lot that look very similair, also seems like a waste of resources to thumbnail everything [00:39] Thumbnails are shared in KDE so not that much of a waste [00:39] Dolphin uses them etc [00:41] [Relic]: So how do you identify them? [00:44] <[Relic]> most are simply numerically sequenced however with the the thumbnails only not too many per page, was like 2x3 times on the normal list vs thumbnails. Not sure I saw a way to reduce the thumbnail size either, but didn't really play with it much on the new live cd === nosrepa is now known as aperson [00:47] [Relic]: at the bottom right there is a slider to get the thumbnails larger or smaller at the bottom left there is a filter so you can filter out ranges or whatever [00:55] why would gnome system monitor be running when i'm using kde? [00:56] Cause you started it somehow? [00:59] hmm. sounds like something id do [00:59] <[Relic]> one more reason not to allow gnomes into your computer :) [01:00] :-) [01:00] Windopain: If you want you can make an activity then play with your desktop [01:00] <[Relic]> which version of FF is current for kubuntu? [01:01] damn, running two VMs simultaneously has brought my system to its knees ... if i find the job# of one can i kill it through a terminal and not affect the other? [01:14] 3.5 [01:15] Windopain: yes [01:45] Hi, sorry to ask but I cant seem to get it, I deleted my kdewallet since I had forgotten the password to send and check mail, I do not want to have to store my pop password with kmail, how do I re-enable kwallet with kontact? [01:45] I created a new wallet "My Wallet" and set it in kde control module [01:45] still prompts for pop password [01:45] Installed: 4:4.3.4-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa2 [01:50] hi i have a vailed ubuntu os i am wanting to know if there is a kubuntu repo i can add [02:05] hi i have a vailed ubuntu os i am wanting to know if there is a kubuntu repo i can add [02:05] karmic testers for KDE SC 4.4 RC 2 needed [02:06] meowbuntu: install kubuntu-desktop if you want kubuntu [02:06] Riddell, are you sure kubuntu is already a fully tested os [02:06] and stidio [02:07] y need to test kde when kubuntu [02:07] I don't know what you're talking about [02:07] you said karmic testers for KDE SC 4.4 RC 2 needed [02:08] kubuntu has been finalised. [02:09] because it's a new version of KDE [02:10] o i c is that not for ubuntu 9.2 [02:10] 9.20 [02:10] the version after karmic [02:13] there is no 9.20 [02:13] unless on your planet there are 20 months in a year [02:13] :P [02:13] maco the version after karmic as i said [02:13] 10.04 [02:13] ok point [02:13] and kde sc 4.4 is going into karmic-backports i assume... [02:13] Riddell: right? [02:14] beta PPA [02:19] maco you the guy in #ubuntu [02:19] i am in #ubuntu, but i am not a guy [02:21] really then what are you a cat [02:22] Riddell: last you saw me, what species and gender was i? [02:22] a lovely lady [02:23] thank you dear === meowbuntu is now known as meowbuntu-afk [02:25] !away | meowbuntu-afk [02:25] meowbuntu-afk: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [02:25] Riddell: wait wait but when its the final release, its going to stay in the beta ppa? [02:26] maco: no then it'll go to updates [02:51] maco, i did not use any away message just changed my nick so ppl know i'm away [02:51] meowbuntu-afk: that's what it's talking about [02:51] the /nick shows a line in everyone channel [02:51] whereas if you just /away, it marks you as away in the nick list on the client without spamming every channel [02:54] nope not exactly [02:55] a long away message would be like this [02:55] it doesn't say "long" it says "noisy" [02:55] noisy = we can see it [02:55] just using /away marks you away silently [02:56] maco hope you saw that [02:57] either or alot of ppl use -afk if they are away. you are teh first person to mention this and i been using freenode for 6-8 months [02:58] this is #*ubuntu* channel rules, not freenode server rules [02:58] (* being a wildcard) [03:21] hi sometimes on my computer firefox and google chrome wont let me play flashmedia. is there a browser that is real low on resources but can still let me view flash media?? [03:26] meowbuntu: what do you mean sometimes [03:28] does not matter. old comp [03:28] just need a low resorce webbrowser that can still play flashmedia ok [03:43] Anyone know anything about speeding up Kubuntu by disabling stuff i dont need? [03:46] Screamo_Smurf: there are so few extra things... are you finding it is slow? [03:46] the first thing I would remove is compositing [03:47] happy im running a 800mhz 370mb pc :/ [03:47] in that case do not use KDE [03:47] use xfce [03:47] or maybe just lxde [03:47] I would not suggest gnome on that either [03:47] lol [03:47] i dont like gnome or xfce :S [03:48] I would go with maco's suggetiong [03:48] kde is fast enough for me [03:48] oooh or enlightenment. i used e17 on my old pentium2 [03:48] its actualy a little faster then gnome [03:48] Screamo_Smurf: On machines that bad I use icewm :-P [03:48] well sadly im used to poorly performing pcs [03:48] this pc with kubuntu runs faster then my 1.7gh 1gb winxp pc [03:49] Screamo_Smurf: I am used to cutting down on stuff until it makes "poorly performing pcs" look like multi million dollar super computers :-P [03:49] lol [03:50] so how do i make it run a bit faster lol [03:51] no idea :-P [03:51] :/ [03:51] i opened system monitor and noticed there was alot of stuff running in the background... [03:52] theres no way i need all of it running [03:52] also i dont like how it like saves sessions :/ [03:58] ://// [03:58] Screamo_Smurf: then disable it [03:58] where lol [03:58] ive onbly been using Kubuntu for 12 hours [03:58] Screamo_Smurf: I do not play with most of the gui stuff :-P [03:59] I will look [03:59] but I know about as much as you about configuring kde. And I have been using it for years :-\ [03:59] lol [04:00] it is under system settings -> advanced -> session manager [04:00] i also have 2 hd's id like to be automagicly mounted at startup [04:00] * happy figures as long as he is here he should disable it himself [04:01] Screamo_Smurf: the only way I know how to do that is with fstab. Have you used other linuxes before? [04:01] ubuntu for the past 22days lol [04:01] lol [04:01] Screamo_Smurf: why do you need it automatically mounted? [04:01] but i know more then most ppl would at this point [04:02] :-) [04:02] becuz on is my ubuntu hdd and the other has all my music on it [04:02] i cant play music unless i mount it first [04:02] Screamo_Smurf: why don't you run ubuntu and kubuntu on the same system? [04:02] dont like the clutter lol [04:02] you can switch between them without restarting [04:02] ok [04:02] why does everybody ask me that [04:03] you should be able to mount it through dolphin [04:03] but I have never actuall tried it... (I am new to the whole gui thing :-P) [04:03] i can mount it thru dolphin [04:03] but [04:04] Screamo_Smurf: it should show up as a volume in dolphin [04:04] im lazy [04:04] lol [04:04] i dont want to have to manualy mount it to listen to music [04:04] Screamo_Smurf: all you need to do is the icon. Then you can browse your music :-P [04:05] yea but i want it AUTOMAGICLY done :/ [04:05] ok [04:06] !fstab [04:06] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:06] Screamo_Smurf: automounting partitions is still a config file thing [05:42] Hello [05:43] I can't hear sound all of a sudden, and mpg123 gives me errors: http://pastebin.com/m4dfb857e <-- sound doesn't play for me, not with mpg123 and not with amarok. It says it cannot open hw1,0 [05:44] I have noticed it since apt-get upgrading. I upgraded these packages: http://pastebin.com/m7a585a2b [05:44] hola de nuevo, ze [05:44] *zetheroo [05:44] Roey: howdy [05:44] :) [05:44] :> [05:44] I appreicate your dedication [05:45] haha [05:45] have you tried playing audio through FF? [05:46] So I tried it with Fx open and it still doens't play [05:46] and what about playing a Flash vid in FF? [05:46] any audio? [05:46] lemme check [05:47] zetheroo: nope [05:47] just video [05:47] ok [05:48] yeah. I just have no idea. [05:48] very odd ... because it seems that most people have this issue but with FF and not with the other players [05:49] I did sudo fuser -v /snd/* [05:49] and got only kmix [05:50] I don't use Kubuntu so I am not sure how the audio options would work there ... but is there a place to change your audio output hardware device? [05:52] I don't thgink it makes a difference? [05:53] I was just wondering because it says it cannot open hw1,0 .... [05:53] ah [05:53] well I tried with other devices through amarok and got the same thing [05:53] I understand [05:54] you need to use sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/seq* [05:54] I am also asking in #alsa for you ... [05:54] no need, zetheroo; I'm reading here. [05:54] crimsun: are you from the #alsa camp? :) [05:54] ok .. cool [05:59] crimsun: I've just been doing sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* [06:01] crimsun: /dev/dsp: roey 24296 F.... python [06:02] crimsun: oh, that was minirok [06:02] killed minirok, I can play mpg123 [06:04] Roey: so what was the problem? [06:04] Roey: on your system, anything that uses /dev/dsp will block native alsa apps [06:05] Roey: i.e., because your sound card does not have hardware support for pcm multiopen [06:06] zetheroo: ah, that minirok hogged something [06:06] guess it doesn't use alsa? [06:07] right [06:07] it uses alsa's oss emulation, and your hw doesn't support multiopen [06:07] ok .. interesting .. good to know [06:07] ok [06:07] how do you know this? [06:07] Roey: he is damn clever :P [06:07] ;) [06:07] it's black magick [06:08] :) [06:13] hi everyone...i was owndering if anyone can tell me the difference between "full upgrade" and "version upgrade" in adept manager [06:13] wondering* [06:14] Karhu: i thought it was safe and full [06:35] How to start PPP broadband on Kubuntu I need to connect thru ethernet adpter to DHCP and then again needs to dial to connect the net how do I configure modem thingy [07:20] * krash_n_burn grumbles [07:21] Okay, I just did an install of kubuntu 10.4 me guesses, well my grub is all messed up...

Is that normal? [13:23] running karmic [13:25] DerHorst: there is this String Replace syntaxe, okay, no problem wth that. but at the end, after the difinition of what will be replaced theres something that looks like an interval, which is what I did not understand. [13:25] DerHorst: SUBSTRING(REPLACE(p.message, '
', '
'), 1, 65534) [13:26] it will replace
with
, okay. fine. but what is the 1, 65534 bit? I tried to find something on MySQL manual, but there's nothing like that on the String operations part. [13:27] 1 = start, 65534 = length [13:27] Could that be? [13:28] DerHorst: maybe. but lengh of the string? [13:28] Hi - khubd is hogging like a bishop and causing my load to go up to 600. How do I stop it from hogging or restart it? [13:30] trakinas: I gues substring returns the first Part of p.message [13:30] and the end of the first part is at sign 65534 [13:30] So everything which would stand behind 65534 would be not part of the returnstring [13:31] DerHorst: I think I got it now.
