kaddiwhat does this anakondi migration tool do? It's been popping in all kind of unwanted places over the last couple of days?02:21
mefisto__kaddi: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4116    explained there apparently02:23
FanfareQ: How to use Magnifier? I'd liketo use it in Screencast for FeatureGuide 4.4, but dont get it to work... (sorry for reposting)02:24
kaddii don't use kmail :p ;) So far I've seen it show up when I open konqueror and amarok (I believe)02:24
kaddiwhat does akonadi do?02:24
Fanfarekaddi: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi02:26
masedain the channel of kubuntu-es there arent any people02:27
Fanfarekaddi: http://userbase.kde.org/Glossary#Akonadi02:27
Fanfaremaseda: then ask here!02:27
kaddioh, k, thanks Fanfare02:27
masedafanfare, what do you prefer or use more, kpackagekit or aptitude?02:28
mefisto__but why would amarok use akonadi? a script uses it maybe?02:28
masedabecause i use synaptic sometimes and i see that have more options02:29
Fanfaremaseda: well, mostly apt-get, then kpackagekit02:29
masedafor example for see the tools as synatpic in groups i dont cant02:30
kaddimefisto__: I might be mistaken, but amarok also started asking me for my kdewallet password at some point, so that doesn't surprise me anymore :p02:30
Fanfareakonadi can store more than just PIM data,...02:30
Fanfarei think amarok saves Id3 tags in akonady02:31
masedasometimes use the repositories of backtrack???02:31
kaddiah, that would explain it, yes02:31
masedabecause i have a problem with the gpg key02:32
Fanfaremaseda: backports ? is usually ok to use...02:32
Fanfaremaseda: is it a gpgkey of a launchpad repo? iirc you can search launchpad for the key02:33
masedai installed the repositories of backtrack 4 but i dont know what i need for the gpgkey02:36
masedai was seeing about this but i dont find nothing02:37

Xfactmefisto__:  thanks, but, I know, and for me it really helps.... :)04:11
Xfactmefisto__: Actually I originally installed Ubuntu and after then I installed Kubuntu/xubuntu by 'Sudo apt-get install kubuntu/xubuntu desktop' so my boot screen is of Kubuntu, login screen of Xubuntu and workstation is of KDE, will that harm my PC's performance?04:13
Xfactoops!04:13

mefisto__Xfact: I think it might at least a little bit. there are probably daemons and services from xfce and gnome loading and using some resources04:15

esaymhow do you print a range of pages? in kde4? looks like a bug: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kde/2009-September/003922.html ?04:54
mefisto__esaym: that's not really a bug though, is it?05:31
mefisto__esaym: you can still print a range, just not multiple ranges in one go\05:32
esaymwhat ever it is, it complicates my life seriously05:32
esaymhow?05:32
AutoscumHey, guys.05:32
AutoscumIs there any way I can install Kubuntu from an ISO file directly using Puppy Linux?05:32
bazhangAutoscum, using unetbootin perhaps05:33
esaymI have to turn is stuff for school and i am the only guy that doesn't print on both pages. So I have to turn in huge stacks of stuff05:33
Autoscumbazhang: My flash memory is only 483 MB :(05:33
bazhangAutoscum, that is a bit too small05:33
mefisto__esaym: in the print dialog, click the options button05:33
daskreechesaym: possibly a bug John Layt works on Printing he posted a blog about printing in ranges I think two months ago05:33
Autoscumbazhang: I am aware of that :P05:34
bazhangAutoscum, not sure if puppy uses grub2; there are ways to boot an iso with it though05:34
AutoscumI was asking if I had an option to not burn it to a CD, because I've got a few blank CDs in a pile of probably 10005:34
AutoscumThere are?05:34
AutoscumHow?05:34
esaymmefisto__: there is nothing about a range anywhere05:34
Autoscum(Yes, it does use it)05:34
bazhangyou could check the grub2 wiki /msg ubottu grub205:35
mefisto__esaym: pages from, then enter start page and end page05:35
esaymdon't see it05:35
mefisto__esaym: looks like this: http://imagebin.ca/view/N8PMtm.html05:37
esaymmefisto__: http://net153.net/pics/print.png what is what I see05:37
mefisto__esaym: what version kde?05:38
Autoscumbazhang: I can't see anything about booting ISO files (mounted even) in the article ubottu suggested05:39
esaymthe print dialog from okular looks just like yours. But I need to print text, not pdf's05:39
esaym4.3.405:39
esaymsee what your kate dialog looks like05:39
bazhanghttp://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ Autoscum05:40

=== petsounds_ is now known as petsounds
esaymhmm true. But in kde 3.5 I didn't have a problem with any of this?05:41
AutoscumAh, forget it. I'll just search for a CD when I get back from work tonight.05:42
AutoscumThanks for the help, though. :)05:42
bazhangAutoscum, the link above shows it05:42

=== audra is now known as spacitymedic
spacitymedicHey I'm using Kubuntu. How do I add software.. like... the open source software... I tried kpackagekit and it's empty.05:43
mefisto__esaym: yeah, kde3 could do it because it used kdeprint, as is explained in the link you posted05:43
esaym:(05:44
petsoundsspacitymedic, what software?05:44
spacitymedici dunno... the free software05:45
spacitymedic stuff...05:45
spacitymedic xubuntu had a thing that let you search free software and games. and it added it automatically05:45
mefisto__esaym: as a workaround, you could put the text you want to print in a new kate window and print all05:45
petsoundsspacitymedic, if you like sth like ubuntu software center, you can install it with        sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install software-center05:46
spacitymedicwell... thing is I wanted to see what software there was available05:46
spacitymedicok it couldnt find teh software center05:49
spacitymedicany ideas?05:51
mefisto__spacitymedic: in kpackagekit, change where it says "all packages" to one of the categories to browse available software05:51
spacitymedicOh...05:51
spacitymedic ah... got it05:52
spacitymedicok so kubuntu uses kde? not gnome?05:52
spacitymedic or will gnome work on kubuntu05:52
mefisto__spacitymedic: or just leave it on "all packages" and change "find by name" to "find by description" and search for something you're interested in, eg, "solitaire" for solitaire games05:54
mefisto__spacitymedic: yes, kubuntu uses kde, but you can have gnome too if you install the package ubuntu-desktop05:55
daskreechspacitymedic: It is the Ubuntu base with KDE instead of GNOME05:56
daskreechspacitymedic: You can install Gnome on Kubuntu or KDE on Ubuntu05:56
spacitymedicah i got it now. thanks so much.,05:56
daskreechSure05:56
mefisto__spacitymedic: search (by name) "buntu-desktop" and kpackagekit should show you a few desktops/window managers you could install05:59
spacitymedic ah. got it. thanks a millions05:59
spacitymedic hey... whats the dif between gdesklets and .. the otherdesklets thing06:00
spacitymedicwhich has more desklets widgets avail06:00

I've found instructions at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html Any advice as to firefox 3.6 in general or that site inparticular would be appreciated.06:12
=== Nev3rM0re is now known as Rav3nSw0rd
petsoundspulaski, imho it's easier to extracting firefox tarball and add firefox shell script with alacarte. but it's only my suggestion and i may be wrong :)06:17
=== emma_ is now known as emma
daskreechDo you actually need anything in 3.6?06:20
pulaskipetsounds:  thank you for responding.  I've only had limited success compiling my own packages from a source tarball if that is what you're refering to.  I know nothing about alacarte.  I prefer using apt-get. I have found instructions using apt-get herehttp://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html.  I'd appreciate any further comment petsounds.06:24
mefisto__pulaski: did you install it? what's your question exactly?06:32
pulaskipetsounds: thanks,  sorry for being unclear.  I'm just lookikng for advice on installing firefox 3.6,  I have no problem going ahed with the apt-get instructions at the link above.  I prefer that method anyway. However after I learned of your tarball suggestion I thought I might give it a try and learn something new. I went to sourceforce and searched for  firefox 3.6 but nothing came up.  My Question: Where can I obtain the06:42
pulaski tarball you spoke of?06:42
mefisto__pulaski: www.firefox.com ?06:44
=== vincent is now known as Guest9240
petsoundspulaski, you can download firefox tarball from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/06:44
petsoundsare you on ubuntu or kubuntu?06:44
pulaskipetsounds: kubuntu06:44
petsoundspulaski, after you download the ff tarball, you have to extract it. and then right click in kickoff06:45
pulaskipetsounds: karmic koala, 9.10 my firefox 3.5.7 has been unstable since I went to 9.1006:46
pulaskipetsounds: Ok, thanks.  I'm sure I can figure it out.06:46
tony32_is it common for amarok to crash when something else is playing sound?06:48
tony32_my sound apps just don't get along06:48
crimsuntony32_: depends what else is attempting to use alsa.06:48
petsoundspulaski, np, ping me if you have problem :)06:49
=== Rav3nSw0rd is now known as Nev3rM0re
=== Nev3rM0re is now known as Rav3nSw0rd
tony32_i thought alsa could play two sounds at once06:51
mefisto__tony32_: I think it can, too06:52
mefisto__tony32_: there might be a problem when, for example, you're browsing a webpage with sound content and something goes wrong on that page. that can hold onto alsa resources and prevent other apps accessing it, or I suppose crashing amarok06:55
tony32_i click on amarok and it makes vlc stop playing. not that it matters now but sometimes i might want kalarm going off when a movie is playing or song06:55
tony32_i thought phonon handled all that to share resources and that alsa could handle many sources06:56
mefisto__tony32_: it can, but if something goes wrong, umm, things can go wrong06:57
tony32_i even compiled alsa from source and reconfigured. tried xine and gstreamer backend. same thing07:02
tony32_i'm using digital spdif, if it makes any difference07:03
crimsuntony32_: alsa itself is generally configured to handle pcm stream mixing in software, yes.  However, it relies on applications doing the right thing.  For instance, if an application deliberately does something stupid like request raw hw: or plughw: access, that will prevent all other apps from playing/capturing sound [on most modern HDA chipsets].07:06
crimsuntony32_: in short, all applications [with few exceptions, like PulseAudio and JACK] should be using default: not hw: or plughw:.07:06
tony32_crimsun: thanks, i'll try to make sure of that now07:07

TheBigHeadhello room07:23
TheBigHeadi have problems installing kubuntu07:24
TheBigHeadon my machine07:24
tony32_specifics?07:24
simion314how do you install debugg symbols in kubuntu? my KRunner crushes and i want to submit a bug report07:24
meowkbuntuhi how can i install a ppa in kubuntu. i am used to doing this in ubuntu using synaptic07:26
TheBigHeadi downloaded a kubuntu live cd iso from the net, and when i start my computer with it, it just starts, but takes about 10 minutes to get to the loading progress bar07:26
TheBigHeadi have a low end pc. specifically, an intel celeron at 350MHz with a 4GB hard disk and 160 MB of ram07:27
tsimpsonmeowkbuntu: from System -> KPackageKit -> Settings -> Edit Software Sources07:27
meowkbuntuTheBigHead: `did you checksum the  iso first. then  the integrity of the cd after installing.07:27
TheBigHeadcould that be the problem?07:27
meowkbuntuthanks tsimpson07:27
TheBigHeadno the problem is not physically, since the cd starts just fine. the only problem is it takes ages07:28
meowkbuntuTheBigHead: check sum tells you if teh iso downloaded corectly. check cd tells you if cd is currupted07:28
tony32_also, if it's just 350mhz, i wouldn't be using kubuntu. i'd use puppy linux or some lighter weight distro07:29
TheBigHeadthats what im using now07:30
TheBigHeadversion 4.3.107:30
tony32_it will be very very slow with that amount of ram. tried it before, was painful07:30
TheBigHeadi just wanted to test other linux distro, but i just work fine with puppy07:30
tony32_or try Arch if you're comfortable with doing a little reading07:30
TheBigHeadis that a light linux distro?07:31
tony32_i know the feeling. but i wouldn't try it if the performance turns you off07:31
simion314KDE4 eats more RAM then KDE3, so you can use arch with kde3 or other window manager07:32
TheBigHeadi am not looking for awesome graphics or anything like that. I just want speed07:32
tony32_kubuntu? no, not by comparison. you may want to try a lighter window manager if you have it installed but then again, i'd go with arch because it installs no more than you think is needed07:32
TheBigHeadthats why i moved from windows07:32
tony32_arch is modern and can be very light weight07:33
simion314i know a light ubuntu variant cruchbang i think is called07:33
tony32_package management is good too07:33
TheBigHeadmaybe you can help me with that07:33
simion314arch is compiled for 686 is the PC CPU 686 compatible?07:33
TheBigHeadthe problem is i dont have internet connection at home07:34
TheBigHeadit is a celeron or pentium 2, and yes from what i see it is 1686 compatible07:35
simion314use debian, get ll the DVDs or CDs and install the stable version with lxde or fluxbox07:35
meowkbuntuhow do i install a package in kPackageKit07:35
simion314arch comes cames with a small cd image and yu get the rest from internet07:36
TheBigHeadi dont have inet at home so i gotta download everything at a cyber cafe07:36
TheBigHeadis that possible?07:36
meowkbuntuarch is off-topic07:37
simion314meowkbuntu: you click that arrow in the right, but if you want speed, you could use the terminal, you will have less clicks to do07:37
meowkbuntuterminal eg sudo apt-get install (apname)07:37
meowkbuntusimion314: ^07:38
meowkbuntuthanks07:38
tony32_download the kubuntu alternative dvd. i think it has everything you may want and supposedly for systems with less than 256mb ram07:38
simion314TheBigHead: maybe someone can share with you some debian cds, i do not know if ubuntu has CDs with all the packages07:38
TheBigHeadsorry for bothering and thanks for the help07:38
simion314meowkbuntu: yes07:38
simion314meowkbuntu: you can use aptitude , sudo aptitude install appname, and you can search with aptitude search app07:39
meowkbuntusimion314: aptitude also delets files i need so i prefer apt-get.07:40
simion314yes it is true, aptitude deletes packages that it thinks you do not need07:41
simion314meowkbuntu: but i like to use aptitude for searching it has a nicer putput and is less to type "aptitude search package" "apt-cache search package"07:42

WaltzingAlongJoschi_: yeah - ok so "it works". but you want something else? perhaps that the desktop is split over the two?15:04
Joschi_yes, exactly15:05

Joschi_no, thats where i checked first15:06

Joschi_because there are two - i swear! ;-)15:07
WaltzingAlong:D ok15:08
Joschi_i have already googled and found several references to this problem - but no solutions15:09
Joschi_which seems quite unlikely15:09
WaltzingAlongyeah might be that direct dualhead support had not made its way into kde4.x?  not sure how helpful this might be: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo15:11
WaltzingAlongJoschi_: sorry, cannot help much. whenever i have had two display output devices thus far, the (same) content was displayed on one, the other, or both. have not yet attempted to configure for 'extended' desktop15:14
Joschi_wow, that seems complicated. i'm new to kubuntu - will i have to mess around with the konsole?15:14
WaltzingAlongJoschi_: not sure how well it would work either. manually editing the configuration files. either in a cli environment or in a gui text editor15:14
WaltzingAlongJoschi_: maybe someone in #kde could help out since it seems to be related more to kde4 in general than with kubuntu specifically15:15

terran4000wouldn't that simply be in backports?20:19
terran4000I remember having neon a while ago, though they ONLY had nightly builds20:19
marcosRzyes, its on backports ppa, not on official backport20:20

ngongIzinucs: ok did so, somehow it got worth now, I may choose from 640x480 and 320x24021:34
Izinucsgnac: by clicking the network manager icon down by the clock and the manage networks you might be able to manually add a wireless network complete with ssid and passphrase.. I haven't tried it for wireless but trying to set a static IP is not working for me.21:34
Kangurucan you get a linux mail address?21:34
Izinucsngong: usually after enabling the driver you have to restart your machine.. it makes a kernel mode typically21:35
ngongIzinucs: I did restart21:35
gnacIzinucs: i tried manually configuring it with iwconfig. eg iwconfig eth2 essid corpessid, but even then it didn't show up in iwscan21:35
Izinucsgnac: wireless can be a pain sometimes depending on your card.. sorry I have no answers21:36

ngongIzinucs: lspci tells me that a GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE is built in21:40
Izinucsngong: you may have to run nvidia-settings21:40
Izinucsthe supplied ubuntu driver you enabled is the same version mentioned on the nvidia site.21:40
Rav3nSw0rdis there a way to use dpkg -i package.deb to auto install dependecies for the package? If so, how?21:41
Izinucstypically works just like that21:41
ngongIzinucs: it may not be able to detect the TFT because it is also a legacy one, May this cause the limitation?21:43
ngongIzinucs: nvidia-settings gives me no other choises21:44
Izinucsngong: possibly.. if it's not delivering information to the driver for configuration then you'll need to the xrandr tool.. add the resolution to the table that you want and then enable it21:44
gnacwhen I first installed kubuntu, it gave me an option of installing one of two available drivers for my wireless device.  How can I go back and try the other one.21:44
Izinucsngong: did you try loading nvidia-settings?21:46
ngongIzinucs: yes, I thried nvidia-settings, gave me the same choise of 640x480, nothing more21:47
=== sea is now known as Guest92384
Izinucsngong: then xrandr is what you need to play with.. and not the gui utility in kubuntu.. to add an appropriate resolution for your monitor you'll have to do it from cli21:48
ngongIzinucs: I figured out 1200x1024 using cvt, xrandr --newmode ..., xrandr --addmode default ..., xranrd --output default --mode ..., Answer is: screen cannot be larger than 640x480, what did I forget?21:49
Izinucsngong: I'm not really good with xrandr so I don't know.. possibly on ##linux you might get a better answer or on #kde21:50
