[00:24] * dasen is away: Ausente por agora === ilumi is now known as werfact [00:28] one question about the netbook version [00:28] can top menu bar be showing all the time? thx === javier__ is now known as Toru === Malin_away is now known as Malin_ [00:39] hy everybody [00:40] the microblogging plasmoid asks for my password every 5 minutes. even if I say remember password. Can I prevent that? [00:40] give it the right password next time? [00:43] Is there a way to put a program shortcut on a panel. [00:48] Izinucs, yep, just add a launcher [00:48] aperson: as a widgit? [00:48] Izinucs, a widget, yes [00:49] aperson: that would be Lancelot? [00:49] maco: I entered my email and password like on the page. Does the plasmoid have problems with that? Mean do I have to use the username? [00:49] yeah use the username [00:49] Izinucs, no, just drag an app from your menu [00:50] aperson: ah so easy I missed it.. :/ [00:50] aperson: I was expecting something more like.. right mouse click .. add launcher.. enter program name and find appropriate Icon .. etc etc etc [00:51] Izinucs, there is a widget for launchers (everything is a widget, btw) [00:51] lancelot is not that though [00:51] I'd take some time and go through your available widgets and see what you can add :) [00:52] k.. got 'em all configured.. fast and easy.. thanks aperson. I've looked at the widgets.. some are easy to know what they are .. others are a bit more mysterious.. new to kde but been on gnome for 5 years.. [00:54] what are some nice gadgets to make it a linux media player? i was thinking psp, but maybe there is something better? [00:56] Is there a way to get rid of activities? It's horribly slow and I don't use them [00:57] anyone using KDE SC 4.4 RC2 here? just want to confirm if you also cant add the battery and device widget to the system tray [00:57] What tool do I use to log into another machine on my LAN.. (not samba.. I know about that.. ) .. do I have to do it through dolphin? or is there a "remote server login" appelate? [00:58] im using msi wind u100 [01:00] Izinucs, define 'log in' [01:00] aperson: just to access a share on another computer. [01:00] i think what he means is he want to remote access another pc [01:00] jepong, I realize this, there are many ways to do this. [01:00] like grab the screen [01:01] jepong: no.. just access a shared folder [01:01] jepong, we can let Izinucs speak for their self :) [01:01] jepong, I usually use sshfs or scp [01:01] err [01:01] Izinucs, * [01:01] dolphin has a "Network" icon for access.. just wondering if there is anything else.. it's a windows machine that I need to get into [01:02] Izinucs, well, samba *is* the way to go then [01:02] as the protocol.. no problem.. I can see I've gotta make some changes anyway to samba [01:03] bbl chore to do after rug cleaning [01:03] I don't see what your issue is? === xrandr_laptop is now known as Guest35594 [01:10] Hi Folks, Q: I'd like to check my xorg.conf to tune my nvidia someone know a good resource with hints? [01:12] Fanfare, why are you editing it manually? [01:12] nvidia-settings should be able to do everything [01:14] aperson: i usually have twinview enabled... nvidia-settings creates xorg.conf. i plan to record some kde 4.4 desktop effects so i just want to check its really set optimal... [01:14] for the recordings i have to set twinview of and set a low resolution... [01:14] Fanfare, nvidia-settings can do all of that [01:15] I personally would find it easier to go through that than editing the file directly [01:15] aperson: my initial xorg.conf was created using nvidia-settings, thought there might be some tricks... [01:16] Nothing really that it can't do for you [01:16] if you want to do some hackish things, sure [01:16] anything else, you're just making things harder for you [01:17] aperson: ok, well just something that might be common but not set by nvsettings ... [01:18] there isn't really anything you *can't* set, unless you have some really specific requirements and your hardware isn't properly detected [01:18] but that generally isn't the case [01:19] ok, then i simply use nvidia-settings to creade my recording xorg.conf... easy enough :-) [01:20] the one thing I had to hand edit for [01:20] was to use twinview and xinerama [01:20] which you generally don't do [01:20] but that can do nvidea-settings too... [01:21] I've never been able to use both at the same time [01:21] ie: have one big desktop across two monitors [01:22] aperson: ? well, i use it atm... GeForce 5700 [01:22] I have a 8600 [01:23] Fanfare, does your logon screen appear on one screen, both, or in the middle? [01:23] aperson: and nvidia-settings cant set your xorg to use twinview? make your desktop like 2x1280x1024? [01:23] it can [01:23] it apeares on the primary monitor [01:23] mine appears in between both [01:23] because I have one big 'span' [01:24] you have just twinview [01:24] I'll post my xorg.conf!? [01:24] I know what you have [01:24] you *don't* have it set up as I have mine [01:25] you have a desktop with a display added on, it's treated as two monitors [01:25] my two is treated as one [01:25] iirc if i move my mouse to the secondary monitor before the login apears its shown there... [01:26] mine too, at least in krandrtray... [01:26] yeah, you're just using twinview [01:26] so, whats the benefits in your setup then? [01:27] compiz works on both screens [01:27] a ok... [01:27] and you can drag windows back and forth with no problems [01:27] * avihay is searching for a music player [01:27] i dont use compiz but kwin effects on both... [01:28] well, i can do too... [01:28] avihay: not happy with amarok? [01:28] no, too many stupid bugs [01:29] avihay: hope u reported them then... [01:29] it sometimes stops playing after songs, and the only way to make it work is to select another song from the playlist [01:30] yes, but did you report it? [01:30] I can't reproduce the bug, so I don't see too much point in reporting it [01:32] the way I stopped the bug from happening this time was to let amarok do nothing for 6 hours (or in other words, I was away from the computer, and no it's solved) [01:32] no->now === aperson is now known as APERSON [01:37] strange while in Dolphin after clicking the network icon, then either Network or Samba Shares nothing show except my machine.. however when I "Add Network Folder" and enter an IP address.. BANG.. I'm looking at the folders on another machine. I'm curious why I couldn't see it by using the samba share icon or Network icon? (other machine is WinXP) [01:39] How do I get my wireless to be active again? [01:40] Izinucs, it depends on if you can discover the windows computer or not [01:41] APERSON: it has been and still is discoverable on my 8.10 gnome install (gad that scentence sounded like Spock) [01:44] anyone here uses kmail? [01:45] I'm with a problem [01:45] marcosRz: yep.. some.. what's up [01:46] the problem is that by default KMail doesnt show messages on HTML, which is fine, but I can't see to find a option to allow for example a certain message to be show on html [01:46] for example --> http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7854/imagem2ks.png [01:47] marcosRz: in the body of the email at the top there is typically some text basically stating to see the html you have to "click here".. [01:47] where? [01:47] can you send me a screenshot? [01:47] I can't find [01:48] !imagepaste [01:48] !pastebin [01:48] If I can figure out how to screen shot the window.. CTRL+PrtScn doesn't seem to work [01:48] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:48] marcosRz: how do I get a screenshot in kde of a window? [01:48] Can someone tell me the file to edit so I can get my wireless active again? [01:49] if prt scrn not working, run ksnapshot [01:49] anyone know of a way to tell kontact to expand all message by default? I look all over but maybe i missed it. [01:51] marcosRz: http://imagebin.ca/view/SB8vOWQ.html [01:51] Daughain, Whats up [01:51] lord-rahl: I dont remember which file t5o edit to switch my wireless from inactive to active. [01:51] damn I dont have that [01:52] whats your kmail version [01:52] kmail -version [01:52] 1.12.4 [01:52] 1.12.2 [01:52] Daughain, did you remove network-manager? [01:52] from 9.10 release [01:53] marcosRz: it's gotta be buried in the setup menu's someplace [01:53] I might have.=) But, Inknow there is a way to do it from cli, which means there has to be a conf file of some kind to edit as well. And, since eth0 is working, the file is still there. [01:53] damn [01:53] :( [01:53] I can't find [01:53] Since Amarok2 ate all my music tags, could I get a recommendation on a good KDE4 music tagging utility [01:55] Daughain, network-manager over writes /etc/network or networks/interface [01:56] I had to click on the html on atachment [01:56] than I have this windows Izinucs [01:56] thanks [01:56] lord-rahl: I'll look thorugh /etc/network... [01:57] Daughain: /etc/networks/interfaces [01:58] Daughain, sorry I dont mean to send private === john is now known as Guest5944 [02:00] dthacker: Thanks.. [02:00] lord-rahl: Hunh?? [02:01] Daughain, nm [02:01] OK, I gotta ask, what is this loopback thing, dthacker?? [02:02] Daughain: That's an interface for applications that want to talk to local host. It should always be there. [02:02] marcosRz: where did you find the option? [02:02] * dthacker mumbles rude things about amarok2 [02:02] I just clicked on the html part (attachment() in the bootom and it appeared [02:03] marcosRz: you might look at your default "views" to see if there is a different one that would give you the option like in mine.. [02:03] Izinucs: with your tip I got the html \o/ [02:03] thanks Izinucs [02:04] You're welcome :) [02:06] Ok, this is getting irritating........Why will knetworkmanager not connect to my wifi? [02:08] Daughain: i do get irritated by key or Passphrase when connecting to wlan too... [02:09] Fanfare: No, as in, wireless is enabled in knetworkmanager, I just rebooted the router, again, And, still, it will not acknowledge or connect to, wifi. [02:10] Daughain, when you clink on the network manager and choose 'Connect To Other Network' does any network show? [02:10] Network Tools tells me wlan0 is inactive. [02:10] Yeah, mine. =) [02:11] I know the wifi is working, since my netbook has been on it all day with no problrms. [02:12] Daughain, I dont mean to ask a stupid ? but is the wireless card on by the switch or alt + F?. meaning I had fought with this before forget to enable the card on the laptop switch [02:14] lord-rahl: Hardware switch has never worked, and alt+ f has never worked either. [02:14] Dont thikn I set up any hotkeys, onestly. [02:15] wifi has never had this issue before.. [02:16] Wonder if I might be missing a dependency? === jeremy is now known as Guest55529 [02:21] Daughain, have you look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1137780&page=3 [02:24] I think I lost a dependency somewhere.... [02:24] Daughain, or this one fix my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309605&highlight=ath9k [02:25] lord-rahl: My wifi has worked fine until today. I uninstalled a few things, and am beginning to think some dependency, or something got lostb as well. [02:26] dudes, good evening. is kubuntuforums.net down? or was is it no longer working? [02:28] so do anyone know? [02:28] Ubuntuforums is up, that much Inknow. [02:29] i dont know kubuntuforums.net but its down... [02:29] .net is down [02:29] I know, but for some reason ubuntuforums is not leting me post or create a new post. [02:29] Is there a way to get rid of activities? It's horribly slow and I don't use them [02:29] Daughain, you could try 'sudo apt-get -f install network-manager-kde' that should force reinstall the network-manager [02:29] je suis denis lechevalier de doullens france [02:29] !fr [02:29] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [02:30] ok [02:30] understood [02:30] lord-rahl: Yeah......Kinda hoping to not have to.... [02:30] bonjour à tous [02:31] je suis denis.lechevalier@msn.com 80600 doullens france [02:31] lechevalier: Ummmm...And? [02:32] What's the commnad to restart samba..? sudo service smb or samba doesn't work. [02:32] Izinucs: did you forget the word "restart" at the end of those commands? [02:32] lechevalier: anglais [02:32] maco: no.. sorry just didn't include it in my question [02:32] oh [02:33] lzinucs, 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart' [02:33] sudo service sama restart [02:33] hello all [02:33] it has been a log time since I have been here [02:33] je suis picard de souche normande [02:33] lord-rahl: tried that too.. "sudo /etc/init.d/samba: commnad not found [02:34] anyone here good at php scripting? [02:35] lord-rahl: I thought samba was installed.. found a smb.conf earlier that I looked at.. but I just installed samba and smbfs as if they weren't there at all. [02:35] lzinucs, then samba not installed. samba the server part smbfs is install by default so you can browse windows shares 'sudo apt-get install samba' [02:37] lord-rahl: thats what I did just before my last post.. I also included smbfs which wasn't installed by default on my system despite being able to add a network folder to Dolphin.. I find that strange [02:38] Daughain, I am not sure then. i not sure what would cause this. when you installed kubuntu did you make a separate partition for your home drive [02:38] lzinucs, :) seen that as i hit enter [02:39] lord-rahl: Firstly, I installed kubuntu-desktop from gnome, I wonder if my problem might be in gnome....??? [02:39] lord-rahl: what's also weird now.. I still can browse the LAN and see windows shares.. I can add them with IP addresses but they aren't broadcasting or discoverable.. [02:40] lord-rahl: sorry.. I still *can't* .. etc. [02:40] Daughain, that possibale login to gnome session and see if it works [02:41] Gimme a few.... [02:41] lzinucs, you still cant restart samba or broswe by name? [02:42] lord-rahl: restarting samba works now that it's installed :) .. browse by name .. nope [02:42] Izinucs: have u installed kde-zeroconf? [02:42] lzinus, install winbind 'sudo apt-get install winbind' [02:42] hey, quick question, how do I fully uninstall Kubuntu? I installed it via sudo-apt-get-install kubuntu-desktop [02:43] Fanfare: if it doesn't come stock then no.. I'm converting from gnome to kde (seperate install) .. I'll take a look and see if it's installed [02:43] Fanfare: zeroconf was installed as default [02:50] lzinucs, are you tring to mount or just broswe them [02:50] hey guys, was wondering if I could get some help installing grub [02:51] installed kubuntu and at the very end it gave me an error saying grub couldn't be installed [02:52] lord-rahl: mostly browse.. to mount I think I have to add a line to fstab [02:52] Zybeon, can you get to the cmd [02:52] lord-rahl: Hard to say, it seems I have the same issue in gnome as in de... [02:52] kde, even. [02:53] I am in the live cd right now, tried alot to get grub to install, but having problems as I have a nvidia raid so I can't just use /dev/sda1 [02:55] Daughain, hhhmmm dude I dont know. If your home is backup I would just reinstall back up .local .kde .config then put them back so you dont have to reconfigure your apps again [02:56] lord-rahl, I am in the live cd right now [02:57] Getting close to sleep time for me.....May have to deal with this tomorrow... [02:57] Zybeon, I sthat raid support by the kernal? [02:57] I know me to [02:58] sleep [02:58] And, if I can avoid it, I would really like to *not* reinstall, yet again.= [02:58] =) [02:59] lzinucs, you should be able to browse by name to mount you need to do it buy Ip. [02:59] One more cup of coffee and bed.... [02:59] hey, quick question, how do I fully uninstall Kubuntu? I installed it via sudo-apt-get-install kubuntu-desktop [03:00] Darn, I dont remember.. [03:00] avi_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1349780 [03:00] ah, excellent. [03:01] Use synaptics and choose 'complete removal'. [03:01] @ daughain i tried that [03:01] but theres 25+ packages [03:01] lord-rahl: by name meaning I open Dolphin, click the Network Icon on the left, click either Network or Samba Shares and I should see listed share machines on the LAN? .. doesn't work [03:01] i just wanted a single thing to kill ALL kubuntu traces [03:01] avi_: More than that if you install the way I do.=) [03:01] lord-rahl, I have ran 9.04 just fine before. it is detected in the installer. I set up a few partitions. I have 4x 500gb drives in raid5. 100gb ext4. 10gb swap 100gb NFTS. and some 1k+ as FAT32 as data [03:01] !puregnome | avi_ [03:01] avi_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [03:02] Purge!!!! That was the command I couldnt remember. =) [03:02] right; thats what lard-rahl's link suggested. [03:02] OK, off for coffe. [03:02] avi_: so copy and paste it in a terminal.. one step.. make sure you have gnome installed though [03:03] Well I can't copy; im typing this on a different computer, but yeah, i instealled Ubuntu first, wanted to try Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Fluxbox, but didn't like any of them. [03:04] lord-rahl, what makes it difficult is my drive is /dev/mapper/nvidia_afeigibi [03:04] Zybeon, I am not sure I think they updated grub in 9.10 maybe someone can corret me [03:04] grub2 [03:05] Working... looks good guys; thanks. [03:05] bubuy [03:05] lord-rahl, I mounted the drive used chroot to get in it and tried installing it that way but said grub wasn't install of course and I couldn't install it like that. [03:07] doing "sudo grub" then "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns a could not be found [03:08] Zybeon, only thing I can suggets is install the server see if you can get it going. boot in a live cd and grub not install on the local hard drive. I am not sure what can be done. I am know way and expert on grub so take what i say with a grain of salt [03:10] lzinucs, so you can not see the server name in Dolphine when you click on samba shares? [03:11] I am going to just try using the entire hd and let it auto config to see if it actually does work then go from there. thanks though. just hoped to find someone with the same problem that fixed it [03:12] 周五见吗 [03:12] f4000: No thanks. [03:17] lord-rahl: I know there is a way to set wlan0 as active from cli, I just dont remember what the command is.... =( [03:20] Daughain, there sudo if-up wlan0 [03:20] lord-rahl: NOt the one I learned, but lets try it. =) [03:20] ifup [03:22] lord-rahl: "ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. =( Guess I deal with it tomorrow. [03:22] do a ifconfig -a [03:22] see what it called then do ifup ?? [03:23] Its called wlan0. [03:24] I need to edit wlan0=wlan0 to wlan0=IP, if I remember right. [03:25] someone please highlight me so I can see if my irssi script is working. [03:25] Daughain, this page my help http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsecur/article.php/3594946 [03:28] lord-rahl: Thats a neat page, but doesnt help me, unfortunately. === Malin_ is now known as Malin_away [03:58] So, my question is, can I uninstall kde from kubuntu and leave gnome on the hard drive, and if I do that, what package should I uninstall to get rid off kde? [04:02] hi [04:03] hi [04:03] is anybody here for some help? [04:04] mm you dont speak spanish? [04:05] do you speak spanish? [04:05] nada !!! hah HXD [04:07] a little [04:08] send me a direct message and I can talk to you in spanish [04:08] send me a direct message and I can talk to you in spanish === miguel is now known as Guest74089 [04:56] hey, does anyone know how to rollback kde to 4.3 from 4.4rc2? [05:00] has anyone here ever tried to make a kde4 plasma widget? is it something I could do as a learning exercise? (I have not much coding experience beyond html) [05:00] sorry, nope [05:01] do you know how to revert back to kde 4.3 from 4.4? [05:02] Duskao: I don't know how successful it would be, but you could remove all kde packages, change your apt sources back, clear out the apt .deb archives, then install kubuntu-desktop again [05:05] how can I restart the xserver? ctrl + alt + backspace isn't working anymore. [05:06] Duskao: you can enable ctrl-alt-bsp in systemsettings [05:06] where in system settings? [05:08] country/region & language, kbd layout, enable keyboard layouts, and in advanced tab, "key sequence to kill the X server" [05:09] ok, thanks [05:09] hard to find [05:09] seems to be lol [05:09] wonder why they dropped that? [05:10] new users probably accidentally doing that and thinking something is wrong? my delete and backspace keys are right next to each other [05:11] perhaps [05:11] thanks a bunch [05:11] no prob [05:11] you get your printer stuff working? [05:11] no [05:12] printer is set up ok, but I wanted to figure out the error [05:12] still quite a few bugs with 4.4 that need to be rectified for this to be a rc2 don't ya think? or is this just how kde works? [05:13] yeah, lots to fix. since kde4, it seems things are terribly buggy, then almost everything is fixed and/or improved, then more bugs, and so on [05:13] hmmm, well I think they are going a good direction anyway. [05:14] lots of little things that make it feel alot more refined and up to date. [05:14] you been getting many xserver crashes? [05:15] yeah, just not bulletproof like kde3 was just yet [05:15] or plasma crashes? [05:15] Night! [05:16] I only tried kde 3 a couple times, I actually hated it. I went gnome and became a gnome fanboy lol, but then got sick of it. Seems like it's stuck in a time warp. [05:16] I'm using ati open source driver, and X never crashes. plasma crashes sometimes, when I'm trying new panel widgets or something [05:16] well, catch you later. Gonna try to do a bit of gaming. [05:17] I haven't really ever given gnome a fair chance. I'll have to force myself to try it for a few months [05:17] ok, see ya [05:17] later === ubuntu is now known as Duskao [05:34] well, I think I gimped more then just a couple things with the kde 4.4 upgrade [05:34] my gaming went down the pooper as well lol [05:35] reinstalling kubuntu over top, hope it works. [05:36] hope I have learned my lesson this time :D === xrandr_laptop is now known as Guest21454 [05:50] so you're reinstalling from scratch? or installing kubuntu-desktop? [05:52] Hi all ...has anyone else one had this problem ... installed kubuntu 9.04 on Dell inspiron 2650 and kernel 2.6.28-17-generic will not load but 2.6.27-16-generic will [05:54] probably many people have had that kind of problem [05:54] do you need the 28-17 kernel for any particular reason? [05:55] iconmefisto: is there a fix or can I uninstall 28-17 [05:56] iconmefisto: not at the moment but I guess I found the wall for the last upgrade for this machine I am guessing [05:56] there is quite possibly a fix. you could google the kernel no. and maybe some of your hardware? [05:57] how far does it get in the boot process? [05:57] i want to disable these popups >> http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/3108/snapshot1c.png [05:57] how ?

I know others have reported issues but it appears this is the point where something changed [06:05] I remember having problems with some kernels in jaunty, but in karmic (with more recent kernels) they have all worked, same hardware [06:06] iconmefisto: well due to grub2 and ext4 issues I have not been able to upgrade or even install the newest version [06:07] BenPA: I suppose reporting it is the right thing to do. but you'll probably need to gather info about it to be useful to anyone [06:07] iconmefisto: ok thanks [06:08] BenPA: I upgraded from jaunty and it kept ext3 and grub. I had to manually install grub2 [06:09] BenPA: so you tried upgrading to karmic and it failed? [06:09] iconmefisto: I could not even get past the startup ... even to install this back onto this laptop I had to install 8.10 then upgrade to 9.04 then I ran into this kernel issue [06:10] iconmefisto: yes, and it hosed my laptop [06:10] ok [06:10] is it an old laptop? [06:12] iconmefisto: dell inspirion 2650 from 2002 [06:12] iconmefisto: I upgraded memory to 512 recently [06:13] can anything be done regarding the power management not detecting the battery after recovering from sleep?

[08:47] upgrayedd: type that in your IRC client [08:47] like [08:47] rethus: from memory, you can right-click the folder and get a menu [08:47] /msg alis help list [08:48] iconmefisto: but need i to set it for each folder? [08:48] i want set it for all my folders [08:49] rethus: can't remember. maybe right-click the top section just above the mail folders? [08:50] iconmefisto: no option on kontextmenu which would do this === ipc_ is now known as jakpus_cikini [08:57] maybe something in kmail settings? or maybe even in systemsettings. was that behaviour just in kmail? [08:58] Hi all. I found that KDE apps are extremely verbose when started from a terminal. Can I somehow suppress these annoying log messages? [08:59] rethus: well that expanding folders behaviour seems to work in dolphin, so I would look in kmail settings to find it. [08:59] you can on starting this application : kmail >> kmail.log should work [09:00] iconmefisto: interesting... why in dolphin... doesn't this are completly own apps? [09:02] rethus: I thought if both dolphin and kmail don't expand the folders when hovering with the mouse, it must be a global setting in systemsettings. [09:02] what u think, where have i to search for it? [09:03] rethus: thx, redirection of stderr works but I thought about some more general solution. Explicing redirection on each startup is annoying too [09:07] every startup... this wil cause in many spacewasting big logfiles... why u need this? [09:07] how do i disable these folder previews >> http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/3108/snapshot1c.png [09:10] iconmefisto: i have tryed and it work in dolphin to drag and drop and open subfolders. [09:10] but not in kmail [09:12] rethus: I can't find anything in kmail settings. there must be a way [09:12] me too, therefor i ask here... same problem with icons in kmail [09:13] mfed: if you don't want to create log files, you could do it like this: kate 2>/dev/null [09:13] before i could only just click on the Icon in front off a new message to mar it as readed, or on a readed message to mar it as unreaded... now i have to use kontext >> mark message >> unreaded. [09:13] i wonder why this great features away? [09:16] rethus: there is a way to change that. I'll see if I can find it [09:17] iconmefisto: I know but I would like to avoid to call the redirection explicitly each time I run a kde app from konsole [09:17] iconmefisto: i have try to modify the template, but didn't found a solution to get the icons clickable (some work... like thj Icon Importent) but other not [09:18] mfed: if you did do it, it might have unintended consequences. eg, scripts may not echo text to console when they need to and redirect the messages instead [09:18] I suppose there should be some method to change logging policy for all kde apps but i can't google it [09:19] mfed: write a small bash-script and give the application as parm1... into the script u do something like [09:19] !#/bin/bash [09:19] $1 >> mysyslog.log [09:19] each time u call your script, the app would create your log [09:19] or use $1 >> $2 [09:19] and set the name of the logscript as parm2 [09:21] mfed: or you could make an alias. eg alias qu="2>/dev/null" so you could start programs like this: kate qu (qu for "quiet"). I think that would work, and not to much to type [09:22] iconmefisto: thx, it seems to be reasonable workaround [09:25] rethus: thx, sounds good but I'll try the trick with alias first [09:28] your welcome [09:31] anyone need help? [09:38] anyone need help? [09:38] iconmefisto: alias works only with commands and doesn't work with variables. Thus I created a function : [09:38] kate_q () { kate $* 2> /dev/null ; } [09:39] sorry i'm not a genius [09:42] I am looking to install a fresh OS on a server in my classroom. It is fileserver/web/sql/firewall etc.... Is there a way to migrate users to new install without having to manually re-create them (ie uid's and passwds)? [09:42] mfed: that would mean doing that for every program, wouldn't it? [09:43] JuJuBee: you have to got to the main drive and go into the host files and delete users [09:44] upgrayedd: what do you mean? [09:45] I found this article online http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-move-migrate-user-accounts-old-to-new-server/ is it accurate? [09:52] if you have any problems with my script please contact my creator at timhooty@hotmail.com [09:56] JuJuBee: it seems ok, but there's so much there, it would be easy to miss something. maybe ask on ubuntuforums to get an answer from someone who knows the details of how and where ubuntu currently stores user data. or just try it and see if it works? (and post the outcome on ubuntuforums for others) [09:57] welcome [09:57] and goodbye === tibi is now known as afd_ [10:01] iconmefisto: I think I will try it. I will shrink my current / partition (have 61G free) and install new OS and try migrate. /home is on /dev/sda2 so files are already taken care of... I can mount / on /OLD in new install and copy /var/www and the like over to new install...

[10:30] teilnehmer: no, everyone sees it. but you can go to #ubuntu-bots to try things [10:31] Okay, that's good. Or I'll stick to /msg ubottu [10:52] gorgonizer: there? [10:53] gorgonizer: um just so that you know,i had to delete the old package from the repo due to some problems,youll have to reinstall rekonq to get the 0.3.33 rekonq package [11:04] shadeslayer: You know the command to reset wlan0 via cli? [11:05] Or, mebbe I should say to set it in the first place? [11:05] Daughain: reset as in? === jakub is now known as Guest22142 [11:06] Daughain: well you can do : sudo ifconfig wlan0 down : and then same command with down replaced with up [11:08] OK, lemme try that one. wlan0 is curtrently listed as inactive, trying to chiange that.... [11:09] Somewhere there is a setting wlan0=wlan0, and I need to reset that to wlan0=IP. [11:09] And, I dont remember the command..... [11:09] Nor do I recall who helped me with it ast time. [11:10] shadeslayer: thanks for the heads up :) [11:10] gorgonizer: no problem :) [11:17] gorgonizer: lemme know if everything goes fine :) [11:17] shadeslayer: will do :) [11:18] vim 에서 cpp 파일을 불러올때 어떤 명령어를 사용해야 하나요? [11:19] Will the default search engine of Konquerer change in the next release? [11:22] alvin: its for ubuntu,nothing confirmed for kubuntu [11:22] Iam: chinese? [11:23] !cn | Iam [11:23] Iam: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [11:23] shadeslayer: Thank you. I can understand that Canonical wants revenue, but I'd rather just pay them instead. (btw, I'm really a Konqueror user. We tend to be ignored from time to time) [11:23] alvin: lol... i was wondering why you use konqueror :D [11:24] alvin: your donations << Yahoo revenue :P [11:24] alvin: no offence :) [11:24] shadeslayer: Actually, the browser renders quite good and the features are ok. Launchpad is one of the sites (I visit) that do not render quite so well sometimes. [11:24] alvin: gitorious.org too :( [11:24] shadeslayer님 [11:24] shadeslayer: Yes, probably :-) [11:25] E486: 패턴을 찾을 수 없습니다: Test [11:25] 라고 떠요 [11:25] alvin: we get the OS for free,but its not actually freee for cannonical :( [11:25] alvin: they have to pay the devs and for webhosting and for servers etc [11:26] shadeslayer: True, and Ubuntu has some extra software added, like upstart, that needs payed developers to debug. [11:26] I've read somewhere that Debian will also start using upstart [11:27] or plymouth as it is called now [11:28] alvin: yep [11:28] * shadeslayer waits for a 10 second boot on 10.10 [11:28] or on 10.04 [11:29] Well, in that case, I will start paying Canonical in a few weeks. There are some serious bugs in the boot process, and if everyone is using it, it does not make sense to switch distribution to find something more stable. (Don't get me wrong. I think upstart is a good idea, but it's not a finished product) [11:30] On desktops, 10 second boot is nice, but on servers you want a successfull boot. Ever seen a Solaris server boot? Takes 10 minutes [11:31] alvin: thats why the ISO's are alpha and not the final thing,upstart was introduced in 9.10 but currently just mimics sysinitv [11:31] alvin: :o [11:32] I'm under the impression that 9.10 wasn't tested very well. Samba servers do not start at boot, NFS/CIFS mounts do not come up at boot. libvirt-bin can't start NFS shares at boot, A separate /boot partition will halt your boot, NFS mounts 'can' halt your boot, grub (beta!) can crash your boot.... All in all, Karmic is currently a horrible experience at work. [11:33] I administer a network with Kubuntu desktops. All users are using a shared /home. Upgrading was a nightmare. (still is. I stopped upgrading after 10 machines.) [11:34] alvin: hehe.... well i think 10.04 will be good in all those areas [11:34] I'm currenly explaining my boss that we better pay Canonical in order to get some support for this [11:35] shadeslayer: I'm pretty sure it will be a whole lot better, yes. But it's 3 months away [11:35] alvin: yeah.. [11:36] alvin: any ideas how one can get the root grub values in grub 2? like in grub 1 we did find /boot/grub/stage1 [11:37] shadeslayer: I think /etc/default/grub [11:40] alvin: um nope.. [11:52] hello all [11:52] I need some help installing kubuntu [11:52] anybody here ? [11:54] !anyone | Mudassar [11:54] Mudassar: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:55] My Scenario: My DVD Drive was not working and there was grub error, so I PXE-installed ubuntu 9.10 from windows machine with LAN attached to both (via a router), now it has successfully installed ubuntu 9.10 but I can only see the shell and not any gui environment ... I wanted to install kubuntu 9.10. What to do now ? [11:55] Mudassar: did you not try a USB install? [11:55] USB booting is not supported in my laptop [11:56] Mudassar: If the installation was completed successfully, It is possible that your video card is not supported [11:57] Actually I didn't selected anything like kde or gnome environment, because the link was creating problem and I installed very basic things so that I can upgrade it when basic system is installed [11:57] Mudassar: If you did a command line install (not bad), just log in and type $ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop === betinho is now known as tumaix [11:58] Mudassar: Then you have ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-basic installed. That's very good. Now just install kubuntu-desktop and you're set. [11:58] one more thing, during installation, it asked me for the username/password for one user, I specified one... But what is the password of root, I didn't specify anywhere.... but now I can't do su as it doesn't accept any password [11:58] !root [11:58] 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 [11:59] you mean I do only sudo apt-get install kubuntu-dektop, then it will not ask me for root password ? [12:01] Mudassar yes, asks for YOUR password ;) [12:01] but I don't know the root password, where is it stored ? [12:01] Mudassar YOUR pass [12:01] during installation it has not asked me for the root password [12:02] not roots [12:02] I am not getting your point Fleck [12:02] sudo will ask for YOUR password [12:02] that I specified while creating the new user ? [12:02] enter password you entered at install [12:03] also you can set root password with sudo :) [12:03] sudo passwd for example ;) [12:03] will it ask me for the previous password ? [12:03] sudo -s will make you "stay" in root shell [12:04] Mudassar no, there is no roots password by default [12:04] ok thanks [12:04] *root [12:04] let me try that [12:09] !supportroot | Fleck [12:09] Fleck: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [12:10] jussi01 i do :P [12:11] jussi01 but i agree, no sense to create root password [12:12] there we go again...
