[01:26] i'm having some serious slowdown with my wireless connection, compared to the speeds that i had in both Hardy and Jaunty. I've tried disabling ipv6 and a few other things, but nothing seems to help [01:27] Hi! [01:27] Anybody here using Kubuntu hardy? [01:28] I don't know why, but my outgoing internettraffic has stopped working on Hardy [01:28] I can't send any files or anything at all anymore. [01:28] Does somebody else have this problem? [01:32] serox: you have no outgoing traffic whatsoever? [01:33] There is no option in kdebluetooth for receiving files. How do I receive? [01:33] joh6nn: Nope, doesn't work at all [01:33] joh6nn: My english isn't that good, so I will try to answear as good as possible. [01:34] joh6nn: There is a swedish site where you can test your bandwith. It checks my downstream, but when it want's to check my upstream it justs stands at 0% [01:34] I can't send files with FTP either. [01:34] hrm [01:34] But it works in 9.10 [01:35] joh6nn: And I could send files with 8.10 before, so I don't know what happened. I even re-installed ~8 days ago [01:35] well, you must be able to send at least *some* outgoing traffic, or you'd never be able to send the http requests to get to the website to begin with [01:36] serox: what bandwidth testing site are you using? [01:37] joh6nn: bredbandskollen.se [01:37] joh6nn: Aha okey [01:37] joh6nn: But I can't send files [01:37] to any ftp site, or just the one you normally use? [01:40] joh6nn: Any + the site I just talked about doesn't work [01:41] And I can't use Mediatomb either cause of my problem. [01:41] Mediatomb is a program so I can stream from my laptop to my Playstation 3 [01:41] hrm [01:44] joh6nn: It's really strange I know =) [01:50] serox: what happens if you try to ping a website? [01:53] joh6nn: I can ping www.google.cm [01:53] com [01:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/361668/ [01:55] can you ping the ftp host? [01:56] <[Relic]> easiest way to list all installed package to a text file is...? dpkg -l?? [01:57] [Relic]: dpkg --get-selections > text_file [01:57] joh6nn: I will try [01:58] <[Relic]> thanks, I do this only every few years [01:58] [Relic]: i recommend putting it into a daily cron job; you can use it to help recover after disasters [01:58] joh6nn: Nope, I can't [01:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/361671/ [01:59] serox: then something is running on your machine, i'd think, that is blocking certain ports. a firewall maybe? [02:02] joh6nn: Maybe it's my router? [02:02] joh6nn: But why isn't it blocking in 9.10? [02:02] joh6nn: I use a Linksys WRT54GL [02:03] joh6nn: I have a fiber-connection, so I don't have any modem. [02:03] serox: exactly, that's why i think it's something that's running on the machine; otherwise it would prevent other devices/installs from working, as well [02:03] THought maybe you should know. [02:03] joh6nn: Aha okey [02:03] joh6nn: Anything I can do/try maybe that you know of? [02:03] `ps aux` to see what's running ? [02:05] I will try it [02:06] joh6nn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/361674/ [02:09] <[Relic]> haven't had any disasters :) [02:10] [Relic]: then you're probably over due for one :) [02:11] <[Relic]> it is called an new install :) [02:11] serox: what do you get if you run lsof -i ? [02:16] joh6nn: I will try [02:17] joh6nn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/361679/ [02:22] serox: hrm. i'm out of ideas, then :( [02:23] joh6nn: Okey [02:23] joh6nn: Could it be something with the router or what? [02:24] it could be. that would be strange, but it's a strange problem [02:24] Hehe yes [02:24] joh6nn: But the question then is -> which port is closed/opened that shouldn't be t [02:24] be it [02:27] joh6nn: Are you using Kubuntu 9.10? [02:27] yes [02:27] Okey, happy with KDE4? [02:27] Well; i gues you are since you're using it =) [02:29] <[Relic]> using something simply because there isn't anything better isn't the same as being happy with it [02:30] serox: actually, i'm not [02:30] i just upgraded yesterday [02:30] i'd been running 8.04 for quite some time, reluctant to upgrade [02:30] <[Relic]> same here [02:30] <[Relic]> going to upgrade in a few though :) [02:31] joh6nn: Ahh okey, I didn't like KDE4 at all [02:31] but a few things finally forced me to. since the upgrade, in addition to KDE4 not being as good as KDE3 (in my opinion), i've been having some internet issues [02:31] joh6nn: What does "reluctant" mean? [02:31] so, 2 steps forward, 1 step back [02:31] serox: unwilling, didn't want to [02:31] Ahh okey [02:31] joh6nn: I installed Ubuntu 9.10, was pretty okey. [02:32] But some things in GNOME looks pretty old in some way. [02:33] But it was sooo nice to be able to use some newer packages + have my internetproblem fixed. [02:33] But I really really love KDE3, I would like to use it forever if it had the same updates as 9.10 etc [02:34] Damn it, my cabl went out frm my laptop. [02:37] serox: yeah, i feel the same way. i was much happier with KDE3; i understand that it was time to rewrite some things, but i'm not sure that KDE4 is an improvement [02:37] Baaah, it's 03:37 here =/ [02:37] it's been more than a year already, and still not all the features from KDE3 are back [02:37] joh6nn: KDE4 was annoying me as hell [02:38] I gave it one last chans like 10 days ago, but I re-installed after 15min [02:38] They removed kedit, kview as well, really annoying [02:39] And I couldn't create icons easily on the desktop like I can with KDE3, and I couldn't drag icons to the taskbar as easily as in KDE3. [02:40] And those widgets at the top of the screen-corners was annoying me. Kopete-KDE3 is alot better looking etc [02:40] Wellwell [02:40] joh6nn: Thanks alot for your help, I really appreciate it alot [02:40] Time to go to bed, take care everybody! [02:40] God natt [02:40] no problem :) [02:40] Ops, that was in swedish =) [02:40] nacht! [02:40] God night!

[04:26] ilumi: i always do clean installs; i've had back luck with upgrades. [04:26] i tried upgrading to a backport driver to see if that would help, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference [04:27] i also tried switching from networking manager to wicd, but i didn't seem to have any connectivity at all then, though i may have missed something there [04:31] !netsplit [04:31] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

In that case I just gave up and installed Debian. I'm giving Kubuntu a second chance on my other machine but if nobody can help why should I keep wasting my time [17:06] this is a really basic, basic thing. The thing is crashing out of the box.

[17:07] Alien2: what is a "panel button"? [17:07] Alien2: ok first of all which KDE version? [17:08] I'm using 9.10 Kubuntu, straight out of box, I cannot tell you the version, since all of KDE is essentially crashed [17:08] I have the windows which are currently open, and that's it [17:08] I made a Krunner plugin for Opera where can I post it ? [17:08] Alien2: go to help > about KDE [17:08] How am I supposed to click on help when nothing is working [17:08] (of any window) [17:09] Ok. KDE 4.3.2 [17:09] Alien2: you said you have windows open [17:09] I filed a bug report last night, the bug collector tells me it's a dup of some libindicate3 bug [17:09] Alien2: ok now can you open a terminal? [17:09] Alien2: um thats a gnome library.. [17:09] * shadeslayer wonders how that could affect kde [17:10] "Um," I filed a bug report through the automated crash reporter. Today in my email it tells me this thing. [17:10] So basically, by using the facilities of the system it's telling me I have a Gnome issue? Again, who the hell is testing this crap [17:10] Alien2: can you paste the link to the bug report? [17:10] Alien2: please be patient and let us sort out the problem [17:11] Alien2: we need info not sarcasm to work :) [17:11] hang on I am digging up the email [17:11] Alien2: sure [17:12] as far as sarcasm, I am not trying to be sarcastic. I don't understand how something can be released that crashes within 5 minutes of booting up, when I try to do something extremely simple [17:12] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224002 [17:12] Alien2: it didnt crash when i had 4.3.4 [17:13] it says that my bug has been marked as a dup of 212063 [17:13] Alien2: well, it'd be pretty hard to test every possible scenario, on every possible piece of hardware [17:13] Alien2: ah its marked as a duplicate [17:13] is there a chan for kubuntu dev ? [17:13] I understand the difficulties of testing. [17:14] Alien2: please do apt-cache policy libindicate3 and report back the version [17:14] but this has happened on both machines I have installed 9.10 on, one is a laptop, one is a Mac Mini x86 [17:14] shades, somebody just told me that libindicate3 is part of Gnome, which I am not using [17:15] but I will check [17:15] Alien2: yeah i just told you that :) [17:15] Alien2: but sometimes when you install apps like firefox some parts of gnome libraries are pulled in [17:15] It says installed 0.2.3-0ubuntu1, candidate 0.2.3-0ubuntu2 [17:15] Alien2: thats the proble [17:16] Alien2: thats the problem update to 0.2.3-0ubuntu2 and itll be fixed [17:16] Alien2: read : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212063 [17:16] Alien2: or more accurately : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212063#c28 [17:16] shades, I did read that, I knew this information already... my original question was HOW to upgrade this package, that's what I can't figure out [17:17] Alien2: why didnt you ask to then? do : sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:17] Alien2: my bad [17:17] the very first thing I commented here was "I think I'm suffering from that libindicate3 bug, the bug DB tells me [17:17] to upgrade to version ubuntu2, but I don't know where to do that" [17:17] Alien2: i just started reading from your second post,im sorry [17:18] no prob. [17:18] I've been doing this a long time. I have to say, some of these newer facilities are making things harder for me, not easier [17:18] Alien2: well for basic updates and upgrades use : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:18] that seems a little heavy handed. [17:19] Alien2: heavy handed as in? [17:20] as in I do not want to upgrade everything to the latest version, just the component which is not working [17:20] Alien2: that command updates everything to the latest bugfix release,why dont you use that? [17:21] because I prefer the bugs I know to the bugs I don't know [17:22] * Kolia prefers less bugs [17:22] Alien2: i think that new stuff is uploaded so as to fix stuff not break it [17:22] thanks for these links shadeslayer ! [17:23] Martijn81: if you like gaming i would suggest sabayon [17:24] you just told me that it's impossible to test all configurations, which I understand, being a developer myself. so how can you also say that patching 1000 different things will make my system better, my system is "unique," right? [17:24] Alien2: yes,but usually bugfixes are really important upgrades.. [17:25] hey man, thanks again! :D [17:25] Alien2: A specific version of a package can be selected for installation by following the package name with an equals and the version of the package to select. This will cause that version to be located and selected for install. Alternatively a specific distribution can be selected by following the package name with a slash and the version of the distribution or the Archive name (stable, testing, unstable). [17:25] the installation is so fresh I suppose I have nothing to lose anyway. [17:25] Alien2: directly from the apt-get man page [17:26] Alien2: i would seriously recommend those upgrades... they arent called upgrades for no reason [17:26] I'm not trying to be a dick, I just work on software where a crash in the field results in somebody losing their job so you gotta understand my viewpoint is colored by that sort of attitude [17:27] I am going to pull the trigger now. [17:27] Alien2: i understand but what im saying is completely different.. im saying to remain updated to latest bug fixes,or atleast just the security updates.. [17:27] Alien2: itll be a better experience not a worse on [17:27] *one [17:28] Alien2: updates and patches are released so as to make the system work better,not worse,and even though they dont test them out on every machine,the tests themselves are pretty exhaustive [17:33] Alien2: upgraded? [17:33] still going [17:33] Alien2: how big is the upgrade anyways? [17:34] did not notice the package count, but it's 193 megabytes of stuff. [17:35] hi [17:36] markinux: hey [17:36] what's up? [17:37] arrrrgh it's updating the kernel, this is the kind of thing that makes me nervous === oug is now known as jumanjiko [17:37] ok. it's done, guess I'll reboot and pray. [17:37] hopefully bbiab [17:39] one last question before I shutdown... any idea why a 'shutdown -h now' or a 'halt' doesn't seem the work -- the progress bar hangs at about 95%. I need to hard poweroff, which sucks. it's a mac mini so maybe it's a hardware thing [17:39] Alien2: no need to pray [17:39] Alien2: works on a dell here [17:39] Alien2: try : sudo halt -h NOW [17:40] always works here :) [17:40] hello everyone [17:40] that's exactly what I do. even if it does go down, doesn't come back up correctly. it hangs on the mac's gray bootup screen. I'm sure it's a mac mini thing [17:40] anyway. be back. [17:40] i have some problem with qt. can anyone help me [17:41] phoenix_: whats the problem? [17:41] phoenix_: is this related to kubuntu?

[18:58] I go to the listbox menu at the bottom-left of the GUI, select Options, select the Sound Devices tab and I can configure Microphone Speakers and Ringing. [18:58] I select Speakers [18:59] rmrfslash: in the output devices what are your options? [18:59] Default, a couple for HDA ATI HDMI, rawbluetooth and bluetooth [19:00] rmrfslash: ok does it work with default? [19:00] no [19:00] mbana: idk whats the problem then sorry :( [19:00] rmrfslash: ok tried all the options? [19:01] Yes... I've tried every option. [19:01] apply, play test sound [19:01] doesn't work for any [19:01] nor does selecting one, hitting apply and restarting skype (I don't even hear the default sign on sound) [19:01] and alsa is not an option.... not sure why [19:03] kmix hardware info shows: Sound drivers supported: ALSA + OSS Sound drivers used: ALSA [19:03] rmrfslash: try : alsamixer : in a konsole and set everything to high [19:03] здравсть всем [19:03] and then try again woth default,thats all i know about troubleshooting skype,it started working after that :P [19:03] !ru | dk [19:03] dk: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [19:04] shadeslayer: not the problem. Skype says "Problem with Audio PLayback" when I go to make a call [19:05] rmrfslash: hmmm no idea then [19:05] I think the kmix GUI does the same as alsa mixer [19:05] rmrfslash: try the latest beta or something :P [19:05] i.e. when I adjust something in kmix it is adjusted accordingly in alsomixer [19:05] just fyi [19:06] rmrfslash: yeah i know,but alsamixer has more channels by default [19:06] I see only the ones enabled in kmix [19:06] did I miss a tab or something?\ [19:07] nope [19:07] let's say I have two pulseaudio servers on my two PC's - one laptop and one desktop. is it possible for the laptopish pulseaudio server to switch between outputting the sound from speakers to another server? [19:07] rmrfslash: you enabled the extra channels in kmix? then theyre the same [19:08] I enabled extra channels (I think) [19:08] there are some channels in kmix that I don't have or didn't come enabled [19:09] anyone got any idea (or at least where to look for support?) [19:09] rmrfslash: no idea then,google is your friend [19:09] DeeTah: google? [19:09] shadeslayer: resizing is slow [19:09] google has yet to come up w/ a fix (that works) [19:10] shadeslayer: kinda hard to figure out a keyword [19:10] mbana: no idea :P [19:10] DeeTah: no idea :p [19:10] rmrfslash: thats new :) [19:12] yeah.... or I'm getting to the point in my old age that I'm unwilling to go through the process on every little thing that's decides not to work. I upgraded to 9.10 and at first audio wasn't working at all (though this skype issue wasn't working before on 9.04). [19:12] so at least I'm *back* to just skype not working [19:12] which is sad. [19:13] oh and I had like 5 seconds to install the proprietary ATI fglrx before the open source video driver stopped working.... on second though I could have booted in recovery mode but, eh.... it was more fun to race the clock. [19:13] stopped working = crashed [19:14] another story to tell [19:14] and wonder why I would punish myself by installing kubuntu on a laptop.... with onboard ATI.... and wanted to use skype. [19:14] that's just asking too much :) [19:15] at least I got everything else working.... but there's always that one thing. [19:15] mbana: resizing is slow... are you talking about with "compiz" on? [19:20] rmrfslash: yes (i tihnk) [19:21] I noticed this as well.... and bringing windows back from being minimized [19:22] kwin + Compiz != good combo ;) [19:31] DOES UBUNTU USE NV DRIVER OR NOUVEAU? [19:34] kolasis: depends on what you want to use [19:34] !caps | kolasis [19:34] kolasis: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [19:34] When I start skype from the command line I get bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) [19:34] in 9.10 Ubunutu will use nouveau [19:34] so that could be a hint [19:35] 10.04 i ment [19:35] is it trying to use bluetooth? "bt_audio" [19:35] wtf skype [19:40] i get this error on boot [19:40] failed to load nvidia module, no drivers exist [19:43] failed to load nvidia module, no drivers exist [19:48] privet [20:00] silence? [20:00] indeed, quiet evening [20:01] :) [20:01] Tm_T: i am facing trouble with my battery indicator! [20:01] everytime i put it to sleep and relog in it does not detect my battery [20:01] sorry, no idea about those [20:01] hmmm [20:01] cant figure it out [20:02] damn [20:03] YAHHOOOOOOOOO! :P [20:03] titan_ark: its not been working for the last week I think because they removed? hal [20:03] that enuf noise for ya? :D [20:04] robin0800: who removed where? [20:04] robin0800: oh [20:04] i was facing the same thing when i was on wubi install and thought it was cos of the wubi [20:05] titan_ark: I'm pretty sure it's because HAL has been depreciated and power deamon depends on HAL [20:06] hmmm [20:06] and cos of that if i am not plugged into AC it keeps switching back to sleep/ hibernate a few times [20:06] troublesome :( [20:06] anyway to set it right? [20:07] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UbuntuBugDay/20100114 [20:07] whoa i see so many [20:10] titan_ark: I think the main problem is the battery is not being detected or detected wrongly hence all those bugs [20:11] robin0800: yes, i remember checking some folder when i was on wubi there it only detected the AC0 and not the BAT0 [20:11] but after a reboot it works perfectly [20:12] titan_ark: Only sometimes for me [20:12] oh [20:12] this is a regular thing i am facing now [20:12] i thought it was a wubi bug:P [20:16] what's the shortcut key for moving between desktops [20:16] and the shortcut key for moving a window to another desktio [20:18] hi, i wonder if KDE would work nicely on typical netbook (1,6GHz, 1gb of RAM, 160GB HDD) [20:18] KDE4* [20:19] konraddo: sure it does, that's plenty [20:20] hmm, but netbooks aren't so fast :p [20:20] interesting, now when i change screen brightness from mpwr management, it does not make any difference [20:20] i'm considering to buy a netbook and use Kubuntu on it [20:20] :) [20:20] konraddo: well, I run Kubuntu in laptop with 256 MiB ram and it does it fine... [20:20] titan_ark: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha2#Hal%20removal [20:20] tm_T, KDE4? [20:20] konraddo: ofcourse [20:21] uh, ok, nice :p [20:21] Tm_T: how do u manage that? i had to switch to xubuntu, kubuntu or ubuntu never let me install on my old box P4 1.9gig with 256 Megs RAM [20:21] robin0800: thx a ton, shall check that [20:21] titan_ark: installing is problem yes, so I install with alternate cd, then it just works [20:22] I ofcourse drop all services I don't need, it helps [20:23] Tm_T: ah okay, i had tried with that too, and there was some problem and someone helpful on irc suggested xubuntu [20:23] titan_ark: in my experience XFCE isn't that much lighter anyway (: [20:23] Tm_T: :D [20:23] ? [20:23] does anybody used BenQ netbooks? they are cheaper than Lenovo, Asus, and other netbooks.... i wonder about their quality :> [20:23] !ot | konraddo [20:23] konraddo: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [20:24] ok ;p [20:24] i had fun with that as my 1st longtime linux install [20:24] what's the shortcut key for moving between desktops [20:24] and the shortcut key for moving a window to another desktio [20:24] mbana: alt+F-keys for switching between desktops, I think [20:26] i used to use gnome, but i installed kubuntu today.... KDE4 is really awesome :D [20:27] didn't work [20:27] robin0800: are u suggesting i switch to the alpha version? [20:27] titan_ark: no he is not [20:29] robin0800, Tm_T: i remember using a new test kernel (ending in 32. something) someone suggested that, and that problem was solved with it i think. [20:29] but supposedly there is no support for it [20:29] titan_ark: only if you want too and have no data you don't mind loosing [20:30] robin0800: well i dont have much data on this boot but i do on my win7 boot, so cant risk it [20:31] what would cause an MP3 to be significantly longer when played then what the mp3 says it's length is [20:31] plus i have been doing so many isnatlls in jan, i am gonnaget sick at the thought of requiring to do it again [20:34] so two issues; the slow resizing [20:34] what's up with that [20:45] do u have the same in kde 4.4 rc2: when trying to add widget to panel if i scroll widgets list, there is only empty space and when i want to cloase the widgets panel, plasma crashes and starting again ?

[20:47] sure [20:48] ToxinPowe: so pls create one and open panel settings and close it [20:49] ToxinPowe: and tell me if there is still some part of the panel graphics on the screen after closing it so u must refresh screen or click on screen do clear it up [20:49] kwin is slow comapred to compiz. i wonder hwy [20:49] why [20:50] soee same problem even with other user [20:50] ToxinPowe: ok thank u [20:52] no problem === with_Tscheesy is now known as Mausschubser === linuxmce is now known as davidgra === Malin_ is now known as Malin_away === Malin_away is now known as Malin_ [21:05] hi everyone! I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of some documentation that would help me make my pc automatically mount usb drives when I plug them in. I've been search for awhile and am not having any luck. I use kubuntu 9.10 fresh install. [21:05] michael___: KDE 4.4 autmounts drives [21:06] shadeslayer: I didnt think kubuntu 9.10 was using KDE 4.4 yet. [21:07] michael___: its in the beta backports [21:08] shadeslayer: KDE 4.3.2 here. Do you know how to fix my problem with my version of KDE? Are you suggesting I upgrade? Is it easily done? [21:09] How do I auto-mount my external drive with my music so that Amarok 2 doesn't have to re-scan it every time I boot my machine? [21:09] after turning on compiz in kde, im getting those annoying sounds from the OS when i click something. how do i turn it off [21:10] michael___: 1) its a RC release so the upgrade is up to you [21:10] michael___: 2) you can very easily upgrade to 4.4 via 3 commands [21:11] shadeslayer: It's a fresh install so I haven't configured anything or copied my files on it yet (i need the external drive for that) so i wouldnt mind trying it out if you could tell me those commands. [21:11] michael___: again this is a RC and it might crash ( although highly unlikely ) [21:12] michael___: press alt+F2 and type konsole [21:12] shadeslayer: I understand that, I'm willing to give it a shot. [21:12] shadeslayer: ok [21:13] michael___: that will open a terminal then type : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta [21:13] shadeslayer: no automount before 4.4? sounds weird [21:13] Kolia: yeah i know [21:13] Kolia: it was a feature request only in 4.4 [21:13] shadeslayer: ok [21:14] michael___: do the same thing for : ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [21:14] michael___: done? [21:14] shadeslayer: I tried OpenSuse11.2 and it didn't have a problem mounting my external drives.. ok [21:14] michael___: you can mount them fine in kubuntu too,but not automount them [21:15] shadeslayer: ok, next? [21:15] michael___: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:17] shadeslayer: it's downloading, So I guess the steps would be similar when the stable 4.4 is out? [21:18] michael___: nope,just do the last one [21:19] shadeslayer: easy! [21:19] michael___: told you so :) [21:20] michael___: after upgrading right click the device notifier icon and see the automount comun [21:20] *column === Spam is now known as Guest90986 [21:23] shadeslayer: Do you happen to know when the stable will be released? [21:23] michael___: yeah in mid fev [21:23] *feb === Guest90986 is now known as Spam === Spam is now known as SpamMan [21:24] michael___: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.4_Release_Schedule#February_9th.2C_2010:_Release_KDE_SC_4.4 [21:25] BluesKaj: know how to build packages? [21:25] shadeslayer: Soon! Thanks for the link, Well it looks like it's finished upgrading, should I restart first? [21:25] michael___: um do you see a restart button? [21:25] (in the task bar) [21:25] shadeslayer, no, never looked into it [21:26] BluesKaj: im almost finished and then apachelogger had to go some where :P [21:26] you're talking about debs I presume [21:26] BluesKaj: yeah [21:26] shadeslayer: I know how to restart I was just surprised it didn't prompt me to do that after it completed. I'll do that now, brb. [21:26] michael___: just log out and press alt+E [21:27] michael___: you dont have to restart everytime [21:27] shadeslayer: ok. [21:27] michael___: only kernel upgrades require a restart :) [21:28] this is great.... kwin keeps crashing [21:28] michael___: usually not, this is not windows ;) [21:29] Kolia: hes gone [21:30] my fstab file is blank after the last upgrade'''no ntfs access [21:31] BluesKaj: make a new one then :P [21:31] too lazy [21:31] EXPLETIVE GRAPHICS DRIVERS!!!!! [21:31] BluesKaj: i keep mine backed up :P [21:32] never had this happen before, shadeslayer [21:32] shadeslayer: check /etc and see if there is a system backup of fstab.. typically fstab~ or fstab.backup [21:33] scunizi: ? [21:33] scunizi: i think you mean BluesKaj [21:33] shadeslayer: yep .. sorry.. did you see that BluesKaj [21:33] * BluesKaj checks for bak [21:34] ls fst* [21:35] shadeslayer: It's not without it's problems but the device notifier actually displays my external drive now. Unfortunately I have to turn of desktop effects because all the plasma seems to be duplicated. strange. [21:36] michael___: ah you mean there are 2 taskbars and stuff? [21:37] shadeslayer: it appears that way, when i disable desktop effects everyhing looks fine. [21:37] michael___: can you imagebin a screenshot? [21:38] with the desktop effects [21:38] shadeslayer: sure. [21:38] michael___: you do know the site i believe [21:38] shadeslayer: i believe so. [21:39] michael___: kool :) [21:40] hey guys i have a partition mounted as /storage and i was wondering how come i dont have ownership how do i read wright to it? [21:41] says im not the owner [21:41] how do i become owner i have root password but theirs no place to type it in [21:41] xero: sudo chown /path/to/partition [21:41] shadeslayer: http://imagebin.org/81677 [21:41] thanks you so much [21:42] michael___: that is wierd [21:42] shadeslayer: yeah really! [21:43] it says operation not permitted micheal [21:43] michael___: one sec :) [21:43] sudo chown xero:xero /storage dosent work [21:43] not permitted [21:43] michael___: oh i know the problem... do : mv .kde .kde_old : logout and login back [21:44] xero: did it look similar to this.. sudo chown xero:xero /media/storage [21:44] kinda only without media [21:44] because its mounted as /storage [21:44] michael___: that will reset everything to default while preserving your current configs [21:44] xero: most mounts are in /media despite it saying /storage.. check it out .. ls /media [21:45] shadeslayer: I should probably tell you when I logged out previously I could not log back in (dont know how i guess?) so i restarted the machine. [21:45] it says no such directary [21:45] when i type /media/storage [21:45] michael___: well it should work now === marc___ is now known as mciv [21:45] xero: type.. ls /media .. and see what's in it.. [21:45] just a sec [21:46] shadeslayer: "mv .kde .kde_old" ? [21:47] michael___: yes [21:47] shadeslayer: oh i see the underscore disappears [21:47] michael___: um no === phoenix is now known as Guest78055 [21:47] im so cunfused [21:47] my /storage is /storage but it says i cant chown it [21:47] what the hell :( [21:48] shadeslayer: confused. if i type the command as you said it, it says "mv: target 'old' is not a directory" [21:48] chown: changing ownership of `/storage': Operation not permitted [21:48] ??? [21:49] xero: what was in /media? [21:49] not /storage [21:49] xero: what was in /media? [21:49] just my cd player and stuff [21:49] michael___: eh... try : mv .kde .kde-old [21:49] disks [21:49] everything but my mounted partition storage [21:49] xero: how did you mount it? [21:50] i used a program [21:50] what program [21:50] it was originaly mounted [21:50] voice chat not working gyachi. can anyone help me [21:50] xero: try .. ls /dev/storage .. see if you get a listing [21:50] storage device maniger [21:51] so such file [21:51] or folder [21:52] hey all =) [21:52] michael_: did it work? [21:52] im having issues using sudo (and su)with Kubuntu 9.10 [21:52] im messing with it now hold up [21:53] if i run any command using sudo (or any GUI app that uses root privelidges) it seems to lock up [21:53] the terminal displays no output [21:53] gsteinert: use kdesudo [21:53] !kdesudo | gsteinert [21:53] gsteinert: In KDE use « kdesudo » (or « kdesu » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why [21:54] shadeslayer: the same applies to command line programs (such as apt-get) and also have the same trouble using kdesudo [21:54] gsteinert: are you typing the password? [21:55] shadeslayer: yes, it prompts for the password, i type it and hit enter, then it does nothing [21:55] sudo chown xero:xero /media/Storage wont allow says not permitted i remounted it their but it still dosent work gona headbut mointor soon [21:55] xero: is the partition named Storage or storage? caps make a difference [21:56] gsteinert: 1) Use kdesudo 2) try : sudo apt-get update : and check whether it locks up [21:56] Storage [21:56] not storage [21:56] should i change to lowercase? [21:57] shadeslayer: locks up both times [21:57] xero: don't need to.. try sudo fdisk -l .. it will list your partitions .. mostly with sda1, sdb1 etc. type references.. see if one is labeled Storage [21:57] shadeslayer: a restart fixes it, if only temporarily (sorry, should have mentioned it befpre_ [21:57] *before [21:57] gsteinert: i hope you didnt use kdesudo with apt :P [21:57] i cant access to my tty ( when i press Alt+Ctrl+F1 to F6) [21:57] shadeslayer: that worked thanks! [21:57] shadeslayer: haha! nope, kate =P [21:58] is there any way to fix ttys? [21:58] gsteinert: no error messages either? [21:58] ok thx [21:58] gsteinert: do you have : kdesudo [21:59] its sda6 [21:59] !info kdesudo | gsteinert [21:59] gsteinert: kdesudo (source: kdesudo): sudo frontend for KDE4.

[21:59] their allredy is a /media/storage [22:00] xero: sudo mkdir /media/Storage .. then sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/Storage [22:00] shadeslayer: no, no output at all (except for the password prompt) [22:00] gsteinert: and what about kdesudo? do you have it installed? [22:01] shadeslayer: also, i have just tried logging on to tty1 and 2 with my own user and root user respectively, they both print out the welcome message (last login, linux ver, packages to be updated) then lock up in the same way [22:01] mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or /media/Storage busy [22:01] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /media/Storage [22:01] shadeslayer: yes, I'm not sure where the option to change the plasma theme has gone but so far so good! thanks very much!! [22:02] shadeslayer: yes, kdesudo is installed [22:02] xero: then try this again with the right caps.. sudo chown /media/Storage .. [22:02] michael_: its in appearence > style > Workspace [22:03] shadeslayer: ah, nice! [22:03] nope still doswent work [22:03] it currently owned by root [22:03] should i tyupe chown root:root? [22:04] xero: no.. then you'd be giving owner and group of root the permissions.. it already has it.. [22:04] oh ok then whats wrong i wonder ;( [22:04] :( [22:04] xero: try unmounting it with .. sudo umount /media/Storage .. and see if it unmounts [22:06] ok so [22:06] i unmounted it [22:06] ls /media/Storage nothing inside then i remounted dev sda6 and now it has stuf in it again [22:06] so yes it unmounted [22:07] xero: ok. now remount it with the command line.. sudo /dev/sda6 /media/Storage .. [22:07] try chowning it again.. [22:07] ok [22:08] not permitted [22:08] a;lkdjg;alkjdga lol so angry [22:09] xero: since this is a fat partition you might need to look at mount commands to add read/write to the mount line in some fashion.. sorry I don't know what it is. [22:09] xero: What are you trying to do? [22:10] trying chown /media/Storage but it says not permitted skreech [22:10] and i tryed mounting and unmounting it [22:10] What file system is it? [22:10] fat 32 [22:10] and why are you chowning it? [22:10] so i can download stuff to it [22:10] how did you mount it? [22:10] wont let me till i chown to xero [22:10] sudo umount /media/Storage [22:11] daskreech: my first upload to a PPA :D [22:11] shadeslayer: Whoot :) [22:11] hi ilumi [22:11] daskreech: use fb? [22:11] xero: that's unmounting [22:11] shadeslayer: If by use you mean avoid at all costs then yes [22:11] yeah they i sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/Storage [22:11] to put it back [22:11] daskreech: heyhey [22:11] daskreech: daskreech :D [22:12] xero: sudo umount /media/Storage && sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/Storage -o umask=0022 [22:12] thx ill try that [22:13] ok i did that [22:13] now try? [22:13] still not permitted ;( [22:14] hi [22:15] any other ideas? [22:15] xero: sudo umount /media/Storage && sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/Storage -o umask=0022,user=xero [22:17] ok ill try [22:18] sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/Storage -o umask=0022,user=xero [22:18] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda6, [22:18] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [22:18] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [22:18] dmesg | tail or so [22:18] xero: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:20] hi guys. is there a lockout tool for kubuntu ? I want to block MOST users' access to the CDROM device, or maybe a more fine grain control - to allow say DATA disks, but not VCD/DVD/Audio. [22:20] no luck [22:20] so 1. is there an admin lockout tool ? [22:20] missing codepage [22:20] 2. is it possible to control finer grained stuff I mentioned ? [22:21] im out of ideas [22:21] any other idea screach [22:21] xero: hold on it works with umask but not user ? [22:21] xero: what what what ? [22:21] yeah [22:21] exdactly skreech [22:22] sobersabre, no such thing as "lockout," but you can create a group to permit access to the CD-ROM device, then place only those users who need access into that group [22:22] what do i do now :( [22:22] xero: try taking out umask for that last one and just use user [22:22] as for number 2, that would need some rather complex software support which I don't think exists, or at least isn't well known [22:23] =nope [22:23] dosent work [22:23] says bad operation or something [22:23] ha [22:23] Alien2: as I understand, if I install only KDE, and no other tools, I may be able to simply disable things like access protocols of the kio-slave (If I got that name properly), and maybe a protocol handler's file permissions could come handy too. [22:23] with the -o user=xero [22:24] ok mount it with just the Umask and then type mount | grep Stor and give me that line [22:24] Alien2: and it's a shame there's no user policy tool for KDE, since GNOME IIRC DOES have such tool. [22:24] sobersabre: no matter what KDE does, the device itself is controlled by basic user permissions -- trying to lock it down via kio-slave or similar is like trying to protect a door with a sheet of paper [22:25] sobersabre: There is [22:25] Alien2: I understand I will have to chmod the device file. [22:25] It's in KDE 4.4 [22:25] daskreech: well, what's its name ? [22:25] there wouldn't happen to exist some debs for the akonadi interface to Google apps: http://bisscuitt.blogspot.com/2009/06/howto-kde-4-and-google-pim-data-akonadi.html ? [22:25] Kauth.. something [22:28] daskreech: apparently my GPG key wasnt uploaded :P [22:30] daskreech: I'm looking at a related blog, it seems it's kind-of-API, and I'm not sure KDE4.4 apps have all been rewritten with it... [22:30] have they ? [22:32] sobersabre: I'd doubt it :) [22:32] Since some KDE 4 apps haven't finished being written [22:33] daskreech: [22:34] I see, is there a policy kit frontend in Kubuntu ? [22:35] Yes that's the plan moving forward [22:37] daskreech: I don't understand: do you mean it's good I'm moving forward, or do you mean KDE DOESN'T have policy kit editor, and I will have to improvize ? [22:37] sorry, improvi*s*e [22:39] sobersabre: I mean it does and more work will be poured into both the client and having apps follow PolicyKit movingforward [22:43] * KjetilK finds akonadi-kde-resource-googledata: [22:45] I am not sure why you would want to control access to the CD-ROM in the first place [22:45] daskreech: it built :o [22:45] except perhaps to prevent burning of discs [22:46] sobersabre: http://identi.ca/conversation/19915263#notice-19915263 [22:53] n8 [22:56] hola [23:07] You are printing the value as a signed, that's all [23:07] dangit, wrong channel [23:08] :-) [23:08] so.... why is kwin crashing, and why is the fglrx module that loaded itself into the kernel in 9.04 not working in 9.10 [23:08] GinoMan_: needs to be rebuilt for the kernel ? [23:08] has been rebuilt [23:08] It's a new install of 9.10 [23:09] only thing that's the same is the home dir [23:09] kwin can be crashing for any number of reasons. Try running it from the command line or at least install -dbg packages so when it crashes you can report a backtrace [23:09] tried that, backtraces remained useless no matter what debug packages I installed [23:10] and libGL was appearantly the one that needed the debug versions because it had the ?? next to it in the original backtrace [23:10] so I have a feeling that whatever these problems are, they're connected [23:11] Sounds like the driver is calling some GL things that don't mesh well [23:11] Does kwin crash reliably when you do something? [23:11] how to turn off compiz config [23:11] ccsm [23:12] as soon as I log in and crashes everytime I try to restart it [23:13] GinoMan_: As soon as you start it? [23:13] How are you starting it? [23:13] if I try to manually restart it "kwin --replace &" [23:13] in run [23:13] or a terminal [23:13] do kwin --replace 2> ~/kwinerrors [23:14] That should get you a text file as to why it's crashing [23:14] GinoMan_: if you want I can try helping to replace the config [23:14] Or have you tried that already? [23:14] hold on [23:14] what do you guys use for a pastebin? [23:15] n/m [23:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/362237/ [23:18] is what is in the terminal after running the command [23:18] replacing the config? [23:19] GinoMan_: kwin --replace gives you something similar? [23:19] yes [23:19] the & just backgrounds the task so I can run the command line while it's running if it were to succeed [23:21] I don't have to ^z it [23:21] GinoMan_: I know [23:22] GinoMan_: ok type mv ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc ~/kwinrc.broke && kwin --replace [23:26] sorry about that [23:26] stupid internet [23:32] GinoMan__: Ok [23:34] so what do you think? [23:34] GinoMan_: ok type mv ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc ~/kwinrc.broke && kwin --replace [23:36] still crashed [23:36] Same crash? [23:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/362248/ [23:38] appears to be the same crash [23:45] GinoMan__: What version of kwin is this? [23:46] Qt: 4.5.2 [23:46] KDE: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) [23:46] KWin: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) [23:46] GinoMan__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:47] sigh.... it was only 3 lines? [23:48] GinoMan__: use paste.ubuntu.com [23:48] hi DarkriftX [23:48] whoops [23:49] hi DarkwingDuck [23:49] sorry DarkriftX [23:49] kwin is 4.3.2 [23:50] hey daskreech [23:51] DarkwingDuck: What's up? [23:51] Not much. Docs and football [23:52] and building debs [23:52] :-D [23:52] daskreech: just uploaded choqok alpha packages too :P [23:53] lets see if they get accepted [23:54] DIdn't they have an RC ? [23:57] daskreech: nope still in alpha [23:57] and the packages got accepted again :P [23:58] uploaded for lucid too :D [23:58] daskreech: use choqok ? [23:58] Yes [23:58] stopped it crashing today [23:58] daskreech: will you try out my packages? [23:58] :P [23:58] ok [23:59] daskreech: 32 bit?
