[00:45] <marcos> Hi guys, the easiest way to have the current amarok version is adding the kubuntu-kde ppa? Isnt there a way for me to just upgrade amarok? :3
[00:47] <ilumi> you can download it from the official website
[00:57] <ilumi> is there a way to disable folder popup on dektop in kde4?
[01:17] <mudassar> Hello all, I just installed Kubuntu 9.04, my headphone works fine but I can't voice chat in skype .... the other person cannot hear me
[01:22] <mudassar> any solution ??
[01:26] <ilumi> check if the mic is not muted, or low volume
[01:35] <mudassar> i have made it full using alsamixer in the shell
[01:47] <ilumi> mudassar: check the mixer by the volume level and make sure its not muted
[01:48] <ilumi> is it an external mic, or built in?
[01:48] <mudassar> external mike
[01:52] <mudassar> right now i m using the usb camera (creative) that has the microphone as well ... it worked once
[01:52] <mudassar> but voice chat gets distorted much
[02:03] <ilumi> not sure what the problem is,
[02:03] <ilumi> so righ tnow you have 2 mics connected?

[02:14] <Fanfare> Q: How to use Magnifier? I'd liketo use it in Screencast for FeatureGuide 4.4, but dont get it to work...
[02:14] <maseda> thanks ubottu
[02:15] <Fanfare> maseda: no need to thank ubottu, its a bot :-)
[02:15] <Fanfare> maseda: but thank bazhang
[02:16] <maseda> haha
[02:16] <maseda> yes, im new
[02:16] <maseda> thanks bazhang
[02:16] <bazhang> maseda, no problem :)
[02:16] <Fanfare> maseda: no prob,
[02:17] <Fanfare> maseda: if u feel comfortably with english ask here...
[02:17] <maseda> im isntalled kubuntu about 4 weeks
[02:17] <maseda> and i learning about kde and ubuntu
[02:17] <maseda> yes, i speak a little of english
[02:18] <maseda> this is the channel for kbuntu?
[02:18] <Fanfare> maseda: yes, its the kubuntu support channel
[02:18] <Fanfare> well, the english one...
[02:18] <maseda> ok
[02:19] <maseda> i see a lot of people
[02:20] <mefisto__> maseda: what is your main language?
[02:20] <maseda>  i used ubuntu and other distros sometimes but never installed to my first hardisc as first operative system
[02:20] <maseda> im spanish
[02:20] <mefisto__> !es
[02:21] <kaddi> what does this anakondi migration tool do? It's been popping in all kind of unwanted places over the last couple of days?
[02:23] <mefisto__> kaddi: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4116    explained there apparently
[02:24] <Fanfare> Q: 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] <kaddi> i don't use kmail :p ;) So far I've seen it show up when I open konqueror and amarok (I believe)
[02:24] <kaddi> what does akonadi do?
[02:26] <Fanfare> kaddi: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi
[02:27] <maseda> in the channel of kubuntu-es there arent any people
[02:27] <Fanfare> kaddi: http://userbase.kde.org/Glossary#Akonadi
[02:27] <Fanfare> maseda: then ask here!
[02:27] <kaddi> oh, k, thanks Fanfare
[02:28] <maseda> fanfare, what do you prefer or use more, kpackagekit or aptitude?
[02:28] <mefisto__> but why would amarok use akonadi? a script uses it maybe?
[02:29] <maseda> because i use synaptic sometimes and i see that have more options
[02:29] <Fanfare> maseda: well, mostly apt-get, then kpackagekit
[02:30] <maseda> for example for see the tools as synatpic in groups i dont cant
[02:30] <kaddi> mefisto__: I might be mistaken, but amarok also started asking me for my kdewallet password at some point, so that doesn't surprise me anymore :p
[02:30] <Fanfare> akonadi can store more than just PIM data,...
[02:31] <Fanfare> i think amarok saves Id3 tags in akonady
[02:31] <maseda> sometimes use the repositories of backtrack???
[02:31] <kaddi> ah, that would explain it, yes
[02:32] <maseda> because i have a problem with the gpg key
[02:32] <Fanfare> maseda: backports ? is usually ok to use...
[02:33] <Fanfare> maseda: is it a gpgkey of a launchpad repo? iirc you can search launchpad for the key
[02:36] <maseda> i installed the repositories of backtrack 4 but i dont know what i need for the gpgkey
[02:37] <maseda> i was seeing about this but i dont find nothing
[02:37] <Fanfare> maseda: give the line u added to sources.list
[02:38] <maseda> http://archive.offensive-security.com pwnsauce
[02:39] <maseda> i added in kpackagekit
[02:39] <maseda> not in sourceslist
[02:39] <bazhang> maseda, bt4?
[02:39] <maseda> yes
[02:39] <bazhang> #remote-exploit can help with that
[02:39] <Fanfare> maseda: thats not an ubuntu repository!
[02:39] <maseda> thanks!
[02:40] <maseda> is the first time that i use irc

[02:52] <Fanfare> !ask | Gitane
[02:52] <Gitane> ooooooook
[02:53] <Gitane> I am using kubuntu in my laptop and i want to connect with my wireles router
[02:53] <Gitane> I can see my router but i can not connect
[02:54] <Gitane> I have the same problem with my ethernet connection but i can connect via dsl
[02:54] <Fanfare> Gitane: sounds more like a router prob...
[02:55] <Gitane> no, i've unsing windows xp until today and i was using the router
[02:55] <Gitane> when i tried to connect with ubuntu or kubunt, in theu
[02:56] <Gitane> in the live cd
[02:56] <Fanfare> Gitane: but your router connects and logs in to the ISP?
[02:56] <Gitane> I had de same problem
[02:56] <Gitane> nop
[02:56] <Gitane> why not??? simple
[02:57] <Gitane> cause in windows
[02:57] <Gitane> the wireless connection chrased all the time
[02:57] <Gitane> sorry, my english is poor
[02:57] <Fanfare> Gitane: so u have to login to your ISP via your PC?
[02:58] <Gitane> When i was using windows if i had to connect to internet i did with my pc and my laptop
[02:59] <Gitane> one connection first and then the other.... never both at the same time
[03:00] <Gitane> Now i'm usinig my laptop with kubuntu but with pppoeconf triger
[03:00] <Gitane> cause i can't connect via wireless, but i see my SSID
[03:00] <Gitane> It's very weird
[03:01] <Gitane> isn't it?
[03:01] <Fanfare> Gitane: im no wlan/net guru, but did pppeo login via wlan work in win?
[03:01] <Gitane> yes
[03:01] <Fanfare> pppoe
[03:01] <Gitane> all the time
[03:01] <Gitane> I have this problem in Kubuntu and ubuntu
[03:02] <Gitane> could be drivers?
[03:02] <Fanfare> well, i'd suggest get that working via lan first...
[03:02] <Fanfare> dont think so as if u see your SSID the driver should work...
[03:02] <Gitane> that's what i'm doing now
[03:02] <Gitane> yea, that's what i thought
[03:03] <Gitane> suggestions?
[03:03] <Gitane> buy another laptop
[03:03] <Gitane> lol
[03:03] <Fanfare> pppoeconf        pppoe-discovery
[03:04] <Gitane> and then?
[03:04] <Gitane> wht discovery command supose to do?
[03:04] <Fanfare> well, pppeoconf is iirc interactive and asks everything it needs...
[03:05] <Fanfare> never had probs with pppoe since i dont use it but a friend
[03:05] <Gitane> ooooooook.... thanks... I' ll be back
[03:07] <Fanfare> Q: How to use Magnifier? I'd liketo use it in Screencast for FeatureGuide 4.4, but dont get it to work...
[03:09] <mefisto__> Fanfare: is it enabled? do you get an error message when you try to enable it?
[03:09] <Fanfare> mefisto__: no i dont get an error.
[03:10] <Fanfare> mefisto__: i tried Looking glass and magnifier or Zoom, neither work
[03:11] <Fanfare> well, zoom works via RMB but no keyb shortcuts
[03:11] <Fanfare> also tried to change them to no result...
[03:11] <mefisto__> Fanfare: any other effects using the same shortcut key? tried disabling zoom and enabling just magnifier?
[03:12] <Fanfare> Argh, disabling zoom and meta+ + (not the numpad!) did it :-)
[03:13] <Fanfare> so sorry for the shoout :-)
[03:26] <Gitane> hi again
[03:27] <Gitane> i've trying a lot of codes, but nothing happens with wlan
[03:27] <Gitane> /usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider: unrecognized option 'wlan'
[03:27] <Gitane> this is the last messange in the teminal
[03:28] <Gitane> i configured wlan with pppoeconf wlan0

[03:37] <kevin__> hello
[04:08] <Xfact> I have just switched to Kubuntu and I am left hander, so I want to set my mouse as Left>right and right>left click, but how to do that?
[04:08] <mefisto__> Xfact: systemsettings, kbd & mouse
[04:10] <mefisto__> Xfact: I've never known anyone to use mouse with left hand. I'm lefthanded too
[04:11] <Xfact> mefisto__:  thanks, but, I know, and for me it really helps.... :)
[04:13] <Xfact> mefisto__: 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] <Xfact> oops!
[04:13] <Xfact> sorry that is one open question
[04:15] <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 resources
[04:16] <mefisto__> Xfact: but it shouldn't be noticable unless your computer is not very powerful
[04:17] <Xfact> But every time every different seasons working nicely, KDE, Xfec and gnome

[04:54] <esaym> how do you print a range of pages? in kde4? looks like a bug: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kde/2009-September/003922.html ?
[05:31] <mefisto__> esaym: that's not really a bug though, is it?
[05:32] <mefisto__> esaym: you can still print a range, just not multiple ranges in one go\
[05:32] <esaym> what ever it is, it complicates my life seriously
[05:32] <esaym> how?
[05:32] <Autoscum> Hey, guys.
[05:32] <Autoscum> Is there any way I can install Kubuntu from an ISO file directly using Puppy Linux?
[05:33] <bazhang> Autoscum, using unetbootin perhaps
[05:33] <esaym> I 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 stuff
[05:33] <Autoscum> bazhang: My flash memory is only 483 MB :(
[05:33] <bazhang> Autoscum, that is a bit too small
[05:33] <mefisto__> esaym: in the print dialog, click the options button
[05:33] <daskreech> esaym: possibly a bug John Layt works on Printing he posted a blog about printing in ranges I think two months ago
[05:34] <Autoscum> bazhang: I am aware of that :P
[05:34] <bazhang> Autoscum, not sure if puppy uses grub2; there are ways to boot an iso with it though
[05:34] <Autoscum> I 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 100
[05:34] <Autoscum> There are?
[05:34] <Autoscum> How?
[05:34] <esaym> mefisto__: there is nothing about a range anywhere
[05:34] <Autoscum> (Yes, it does use it)
[05:35] <bazhang> you could check the grub2 wiki /msg ubottu grub2
[05:35] <mefisto__> esaym: pages from, then enter start page and end page
[05:35] <esaym> don't see it
[05:37] <mefisto__> esaym: looks like this: http://imagebin.ca/view/N8PMtm.html
[05:37] <esaym> mefisto__: http://net153.net/pics/print.png what is what I see
[05:38] <mefisto__> esaym: what version kde?
[05:39] <Autoscum> bazhang: I can't see anything about booting ISO files (mounted even) in the article ubottu suggested
[05:39] <esaym> the print dialog from okular looks just like yours. But I need to print text, not pdf's
[05:39] <esaym> 4.3.4
[05:39] <esaym> see what your kate dialog looks like
[05:40] <bazhang> http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ Autoscum
[05:40] <mefisto__> esaym: text files don't have pages
[05:41] <esaym> hmm true. But in kde 3.5 I didn't have a problem with any of this?
[05:42] <Autoscum> Ah, forget it. I'll just search for a CD when I get back from work tonight.
[05:42] <Autoscum> Thanks for the help, though. :)
[05:42] <bazhang> Autoscum, the link above shows it
[05:42] <Autoscum> bazhang: I understand, but it seems to be too much work. :P
[05:42] <Autoscum> bazhang: And I need to be going to work in about 20 minutes
[05:43] <spacitymedic> Hey 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 posted
[05:44] <esaym> :(
[05:44] <petsounds> spacitymedic, what software?
[05:45] <spacitymedic> i dunno... the free software
[05:45] <spacitymedic>  stuff...
[05:45] <spacitymedic>  xubuntu had a thing that let you search free software and games. and it added it automatically
[05:45] <mefisto__> esaym: as a workaround, you could put the text you want to print in a new kate window and print all
[05:46] <petsounds> spacitymedic, if you like sth like ubuntu software center, you can install it with        sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install software-center
[05:46] <spacitymedic> well... thing is I wanted to see what software there was available
[05:49] <spacitymedic> ok it couldnt find teh software center
[05:51] <spacitymedic> any ideas?
[05:51] <mefisto__> spacitymedic: in kpackagekit, change where it says "all packages" to one of the categories to browse available software
[05:51] <spacitymedic> Oh...
[05:52] <spacitymedic>  ah... got it
[05:52] <spacitymedic> ok so kubuntu uses kde? not gnome?
[05:52] <spacitymedic>  or will gnome work on kubuntu
[05:54] <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 games
[05:55] <mefisto__> spacitymedic: yes, kubuntu uses kde, but you can have gnome too if you install the package ubuntu-desktop
[05:56] <daskreech> spacitymedic: It is the Ubuntu base with KDE instead of GNOME
[05:56] <daskreech> spacitymedic: You can install Gnome on Kubuntu or KDE on Ubuntu
[05:56] <spacitymedic> ah i got it now. thanks so much.,
[05:56] <daskreech> Sure
[05:59] <mefisto__> spacitymedic: search (by name) "buntu-desktop" and kpackagekit should show you a few desktops/window managers you could install
[05:59] <spacitymedic>  ah. got it. thanks a millions
[06:00] <spacitymedic>  hey... whats the dif between gdesklets and .. the otherdesklets thing
[06:00] <spacitymedic> which has more desklets widgets avail
[06:12] <pulaski> hello, has anyone successfully installed firefoc 3.6 on 9.10, karmic Koala yet? 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.
[06:17] <petsounds> pulaski, 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 :)
[06:20] <daskreech> Do you actually need anything in 3.6?
[06:24] <pulaski> petsounds:  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.
[06:32] <mefisto__> pulaski: did you install it? what's your question exactly?
[06:42] <pulaski> petsounds: 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 the
[06:42] <pulaski>  tarball you spoke of?
[06:44] <mefisto__> pulaski: www.firefox.com ?
[06:44] <petsounds> pulaski, you can download firefox tarball from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
[06:44] <petsounds> are you on ubuntu or kubuntu?
[06:44] <pulaski> petsounds: kubuntu
[06:45] <petsounds> pulaski, after you download the ff tarball, you have to extract it. and then right click in kickoff
[06:46] <pulaski> petsounds: karmic koala, 9.10 my firefox 3.5.7 has been unstable since I went to 9.10
[06:46] <pulaski> petsounds: Ok, thanks.  I'm sure I can figure it out.
[06:48] <tony32_> is it common for amarok to crash when something else is playing sound?
[06:48] <tony32_> my sound apps just don't get along
[06:48] <crimsun> tony32_: depends what else is attempting to use alsa.
[06:49] <petsounds> pulaski, np, ping me if you have problem :)
[06:51] <tony32_> i thought alsa could play two sounds at once
[06:52] <mefisto__> tony32_: I think it can, too
[06:55] <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 amarok
[06:55] <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 song
[06:56] <tony32_> i thought phonon handled all that to share resources and that alsa could handle many sources
[06:57] <mefisto__> tony32_: it can, but if something goes wrong, umm, things can go wrong
[07:02] <tony32_> i even compiled alsa from source and reconfigured. tried xine and gstreamer backend. same thing
[07:03] <tony32_> i'm using digital spdif, if it makes any difference
[07:06] <crimsun> tony32_: 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] <crimsun> tony32_: in short, all applications [with few exceptions, like PulseAudio and JACK] should be using default: not hw: or plughw:.
[07:07] <tony32_> crimsun: thanks, i'll try to make sure of that now

[07:23] <TheBigHead> hello room
[07:24] <TheBigHead> i have problems installing kubuntu
[07:24] <TheBigHead> on my machine
[07:24] <tony32_> specifics?
[07:24] <simion314> how do you install debugg symbols in kubuntu? my KRunner crushes and i want to submit a bug report
[07:26] <meowkbuntu> hi how can i install a ppa in kubuntu. i am used to doing this in ubuntu using synaptic
[07:26] <TheBigHead> i 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 bar
[07:27] <TheBigHead> i have a low end pc. specifically, an intel celeron at 350MHz with a 4GB hard disk and 160 MB of ram
[07:27] <tsimpson> meowkbuntu: from System -> KPackageKit -> Settings -> Edit Software Sources
[07:27] <meowkbuntu> TheBigHead: `did you checksum the  iso first. then  the integrity of the cd after installing.
[07:27] <TheBigHead> could that be the problem?
[07:27] <meowkbuntu> thanks tsimpson
[07:28] <TheBigHead> no the problem is not physically, since the cd starts just fine. the only problem is it takes ages
[07:28] <meowkbuntu> TheBigHead: check sum tells you if teh iso downloaded corectly. check cd tells you if cd is currupted
[07:29] <tony32_> also, if it's just 350mhz, i wouldn't be using kubuntu. i'd use puppy linux or some lighter weight distro
[07:30] <TheBigHead> thats what im using now
[07:30] <TheBigHead> version 4.3.1
[07:30] <tony32_> it will be very very slow with that amount of ram. tried it before, was painful
[07:30] <TheBigHead> i just wanted to test other linux distro, but i just work fine with puppy
[07:30] <tony32_> or try Arch if you're comfortable with doing a little reading
[07:31] <TheBigHead> is that a light linux distro?
[07:31] <tony32_> i know the feeling. but i wouldn't try it if the performance turns you off
[07:32] <simion314> KDE4 eats more RAM then KDE3, so you can use arch with kde3 or other window manager
[07:32] <TheBigHead> i am not looking for awesome graphics or anything like that. I just want speed
[07:32] <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 needed
[07:32] <TheBigHead> thats why i moved from windows
[07:33] <tony32_> arch is modern and can be very light weight
[07:33] <simion314> i know a light ubuntu variant cruchbang i think is called
[07:33] <tony32_> package management is good too
[07:33] <TheBigHead> maybe you can help me with that
[07:33] <simion314> arch is compiled for 686 is the PC CPU 686 compatible?
[07:34] <TheBigHead> the problem is i dont have internet connection at home
[07:35] <TheBigHead> it is a celeron or pentium 2, and yes from what i see it is 1686 compatible
[07:35] <simion314> use debian, get ll the DVDs or CDs and install the stable version with lxde or fluxbox
[07:35] <meowkbuntu> how do i install a package in kPackageKit
[07:36] <simion314> arch comes cames with a small cd image and yu get the rest from internet
[07:36] <TheBigHead> i dont have inet at home so i gotta download everything at a cyber cafe
[07:36] <TheBigHead> is that possible?
[07:37] <meowkbuntu> arch is off-topic
[07:37] <simion314> meowkbuntu: you click that arrow in the right, but if you want speed, you could use the terminal, you will have less clicks to do
[07:37] <meowkbuntu> terminal eg sudo apt-get install (apname)
[07:38] <meowkbuntu> simion314: ^
[07:38] <meowkbuntu> thanks
[07:38] <tony32_> download the kubuntu alternative dvd. i think it has everything you may want and supposedly for systems with less than 256mb ram
[07:38] <simion314> TheBigHead: maybe someone can share with you some debian cds, i do not know if ubuntu has CDs with all the packages
[07:38] <TheBigHead> sorry for bothering and thanks for the help
[07:38] <simion314> meowkbuntu: yes
[07:39] <simion314> meowkbuntu: you can use aptitude , sudo aptitude install appname, and you can search with aptitude search app
[07:40] <meowkbuntu> simion314: aptitude also delets files i need so i prefer apt-get.
[07:41] <simion314> yes it is true, aptitude deletes packages that it thinks you do not need
[07:42] <simion314> meowkbuntu: 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"

[09:13] <Rav3nSw0rd> I think I've asked before, but never quite succeeded... how do I get kubuntu to connect to wifi automatically upon startup? I have 2 networks saved, one is my router, and one is my schools routers, and I would like to connect to any of them that are available upon login, without having to click on the globe icon and selecting the network I want to join.
[09:16] <avihay> hey, what do the gnome guys use instead of amarock?
[09:17] <avihay> Rav3nSw0rd: you have to ask your network manager to connect automatically
[09:18] <Rav3nSw0rd> oh, funny, I didn't see that XD stupid of me, thanks avihay!
[09:22] <skbohra> why there is no firefox ?
[09:22] <skbohra> :-/
[09:23] <avihay> skbohra: there should be a Firefox installer
[09:26] <skbohra> avihay: i can, why it isnt there by default?
[09:28] <avihay> well, some people prefer opera
[09:30] <avihay> kde has they're own web browser (konqueror), that is used internally by most of kde's apps, and the rest is up to you. I have firefox and chrome
[09:31] <skbohra> avihay: Konqueror is of no use :(
[09:32] <skbohra> even gmail doesnt support it :)
[09:34] <avihay> It does, in basic mode
[09:34] <alienated> Hi im fairly new to kubuntu and linux and ive been installing some apps with APT but im wondering to actually compile something myself what exactly do I need to do
[09:39] <avihay> alienated: You usually download a tar file, and unpack it. it should contain all the scripts and makefiles to compile properly, given you have all of it's dependencies. most also have readme files about how to compile it, but it usually comes down to typing in the terminal: ./configure                  make                       make install
[09:59] <meowkbuntu> hi i am wanting to know what i need to download there are  seperate packages for the app 7zip. p7zip and p7zip-full. what do i need to get

[10:57] <tsimpson> the exact strings for "Trash" and "empty" will be different deepening on your locale

[12:11] <turtle^s0up> hello, i wanted to know, how useful is the Indicator Display plasma widget?
[12:12] <turtle^s0up> the only GTK based apps i really use are Firefox, Thunderbird, and Gimp.
[12:14] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: use krita ... if slow at start there is a settings for that
[12:14] <Peace-> krita <--> gimp
[12:14] <turtle^s0up> ok
[12:14] <turtle^s0up> i've used krita, still getting used to it
[12:15] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: krita could be slow on starting because of this http://wiki.opengtl.org/libraries:developers-resources
[12:15] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: so create that file .... (HIDDEN FILE  so it has "." before the name)
[12:15] <Peace-> and krita starts faster
[12:16] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: keep in your mind krita is 2.1.1 the latest
[12:16] <Peace-> you should get should be 2.1
[12:17] <dr_bro> i have  grub as my boot loader for win7/kubuntu but the computer restarts when i try to boot windows. any way to fix it?
[12:17] <turtle^s0up> Peace: is Krita part of "koffice-kde4?"
[12:24] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: yea
[12:24] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: but i think you have to add some external repository to get the last one
[12:25] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: krita screenshot ... well old screenshot but it is http://www.koffice.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/kritagentlebot.png
[12:29] <turtle^s0up> nice, thanks
[12:30] <turtle^s0up> i really like the single window layout
[12:31] <turtle^s0up> Peace-: do you know what PPA will allow me to have the most up to date Krtia version?
[12:32] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: the best way to get these informations is go here and search koffice news http://www.kubuntu.org/news
[12:32] <Peace-> The_SLain_MAn: in that place you get every sick :D upgrading repo
[12:33] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: i think this is one http://www.kubuntu.org/news/koffice-2.1.0
[12:33] <Peace-> turtle^s0up: but 2.1.1 has been released on jannuary 12
[12:33] <Peace-> so it should appear a new news xD
[12:33] <Peace-> in few days
[12:34] <turtle^s0up> ok, thank you for the information

[12:53] <silv3r_m00n> how do i disable these >> http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/3108/snapshot1c.png
[12:54] <Peace-> silv3r_m00n: i have read how to do but i can't remmeber
[12:54] <anakinz> My ubuntu 9.10 will not start up anymore, and when I use the live cd I can´t get aces to copy old files to a usb, there simply is a x over some of the icons, not all, I can copy those witch doesent have the x, anyone know how I can get acces to all files??
[12:55] <Peace-> anakinz: type in the konsole kdesudo dolphin
[12:55] <Peace-> anakinz: you should be able to open like root every damend folder
[12:55] <Peace-> or kdesudo konqueror
[12:57] <silv3r_m00n> peculiar settings
[13:01] <anakinz> Peace: Now it keeps freezing after a minute of work, I´m going to try doing it without the live cd in failsafe mode..
[13:03] <Peace-> anakinz: use konqueror
[13:03] <Peace-> anakinz: you could be type that command 2 times
[13:03] <Peace-> anakinz: the first time it could crash or doesn't work properly
[13:05] <anakinz> Peace: do you mean sudo konqueror (/directory) /media/usb
[13:05] <Peace-> silv3r_m00n: mmm ti seems there are still no way on kde 4.5 to disable that stuff ,,, easly ... there is a way but you need to ... do something that a noob can't do xD
[13:05] <Peace-> anakinz: kdesudo konqueror
[13:06] <Peace-> sudo should be used only for nano or something that runs only in the terminal
[13:06] <Peace-> kdesudo should be used for the most of normal application
[13:06] <Peace-> !kdesudo
[13:09] <anakinz> Peace: kdesudo is not installed on my system, could I use sudo instead?
[13:10] <Peace-> anakinz: try sudo then...
[13:10] <Peace-> but it's not so nice to do...
[13:11] <Peace-> anyway if you have not kdesudo you can only use sudo option
[13:12] <anakinz> Peace: It doesent have konqueror either..!
[13:13] <Peace-> anakinz: well .... if yoi have fucked up the system what can i do?
[13:13] <Peace-> anakinz: live cd kdesudo konqueror  and it works
[13:16] <anakinz> Peace: I think I have a hardware failure, the screen looks a bit strange with the live cd, but when i am running the fail safe mode everything looks as it should!! But I tried sudo cp -r /xx  /xx and it is working now, think it is copying it..
[13:54] <silv3r_m00n> mic doesnt work

[13:59] <Joschi_> Hi, is this the right channel for kubuntu support?
[13:59] <Tm_T> Joschi_: yes (:
[13:59] <Tm_T> Joschi_: also read channel topic
[13:59] <Joschi_> how does it work?
[13:59] <Joschi_> i'm new.. ;-)
[14:00] <Tm_T> Joschi_: you didn't have topic when you joined channel?
[14:00] <Tm_T> it should also be at top of the chat window
[14:00] <Joschi_> oh, there is: Kubuntu support
[14:00] <Joschi_> ok
[14:00] <Joschi_> i nedd help with my external monitor
[14:02] <Joschi_> krandrtray does not recognize the external monitor i use with my notebook - is this the right place to ask questions about this?
[14:02] <Tm_T> sure is
[14:02] <Joschi_> oh, great
[14:03] <Joschi_> i just installed Kubuntu yesterday
[14:03] <Joschi_> and now i try to figure things out
[14:03] <Tm_T> hopefully someone who knows will answer
[14:04] <Joschi_> so is it enough if i type: "PLEASE help me with my external monitor!!! " ?
[14:05] <Joschi_> i just dont know how things work here....
[14:05] <axiom> Video plays fine (in kaffeine), but then after a while, the colors go all wrong, and people turn blue.  Is this fixable?
[14:05] <Tm_T> Joschi_: clear explanation what is the issue with plenty of information in one line is best
[14:06] <Tm_T> Joschi_: and then patience, we are all volunteers afterall (:
[14:08] <Joschi_> OK: when i go to system and want to change the settings for display so my notebook does not show the same screen on my notebook-monitor and the external one, the menue tells me that these settings are only for use with an external monitor, and this wouldnt seem to be the case
[14:08] <Joschi_> somewhat awkward translation from the german text
[14:08] <Joschi_> krandrtray is installed
[14:09] <Joschi_> now im patient and happily waituing for help
[14:10] <anakinz> How to find usb drive when running failsafe mode?? can´t find it any where..
[14:11] <anakinz> Is there some way to search for it from the failsafe menu? like sudo find xxx??
[14:13] <tsimpson> anakinz: you need to mount it manually
[14:13] <tsimpson> !mount
[14:15] <anakinz> tsimpson: but how?
[14:17] <axiom> hmmm..  "xvattr -a XV_HUE -v 0" solves the problem, but only temporaraly..
[14:17] <tsimpson> you use the "mount" command, see http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html

[14:57] <mudassar> hello I need a sip client in Kubuntu 9.04 which one is the best ?
[14:59] <Joschi_> Hallo, ich wiederhole einfach nochmal meine Frage von vorhin auf Deutsch, vielleicht kann mir ja jemand helfen: Ich will an meinen Laptop einen externen Monitor anschliessen. Leider zeigen beide Monitore das selbe Bild.
[15:01] <WaltzingAlong> !de | Joschi_
[15:01] <WaltzingAlong> mudassar: twinkle ?
[15:01] <goodtime> #ubuntu
[15:01] <mudassar> yes installing that
[15:02] <WaltzingAlong> mudassar: would be nice to have a kde4 aware version that integrated better but it is the one i have been using
[15:02] <mudassar> Kubuntu is more suitable for my system ... it solves many problems for me :)
[15:04] <WaltzingAlong> Joschi_: yeah - ok so "it works". but you want something else? perhaps that the desktop is split over the two?
[15:05] <Joschi_> yes, exactly
[15:06] <Joschi_> but krandrtray does not sem to recognize that there is an external monitor...
[15:06] <WaltzingAlong> Joschi_: have you had any success with the settings under system settings / display / multiple monitors ?
[15:06] <Joschi_> no, thats where i checked first
[15:07] <Joschi_> the menue tells me that "these are options for systems with two monitors, but that this is not the case here" - strange!
[15:07] <Joschi_> because there are two - i swear! ;-)
[15:08] <WaltzingAlong> :D ok
[15:09] <Joschi_> i have already googled and found several references to this problem - but no solutions
[15:09] <Joschi_> which seems quite unlikely
[15:11] <WaltzingAlong> yeah 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/XineramaHowTo
[15:14] <WaltzingAlong> Joschi_: 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' desktop
[15:14] <Joschi_> wow, that seems complicated. i'm new to kubuntu - will i have to mess around with the konsole?
[15:14] <WaltzingAlong> Joschi_: not sure how well it would work either. manually editing the configuration files. either in a cli environment or in a gui text editor
[15:15] <WaltzingAlong> Joschi_: maybe someone in #kde could help out since it seems to be related more to kde4 in general than with kubuntu specifically
[15:15] <Joschi_> thanks anyway - iĺl hang around and hope that someone has figured it out... nice thing, this support chat!
[15:15] <Joschi_> ok, thanks, that sounds very reasonable!
[15:16] <Joschi_> is the a specifically german #kde channel?
[15:18] <WaltzingAlong> Joschi_: weiss nicht. you could ask in #kde :)  perhaps kde-de ?
[15:18] <DerHorst> Joschi_: #kde.de
[15:18] <DerHorst> but its pretty inactive
[15:18] <Joschi_> oh, ok
[15:18] <DerHorst> but you may try in #kubuntu-de
[15:19] <DerHorst> #kubuntu-de is pretty active
[15:19] <Joschi_> that ś better?
[15:19] <Joschi_> thx, horst, ill try
[15:19] <DerHorst> Its worth a try
[15:24] <n8w> hey
[15:26] <n8w> ive got kubuntu installed on my usb disk(4GB), the system takes aprox 1.75gb of space n the rest is unallocated, but it still gives me a msg that the disk is full n therefore i cant copy anythin to it
[15:26] <n8w> whats wrong?
[15:27] <WaltzingAlong> n8w: when you created the usb disk, the usb boot disc creator gives the option of how much free space to reserve

[15:28] <n8w> WaltzingAlong:  ye...i dont actualy remember what option i took...anywai, is there anythin i could do about it?
[15:28] <WaltzingAlong> geopol: check out the X log to see what went wrong: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log   (check for (EE) lines;  or have it reconfigured sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[18:23] <marcosRz> Guys I can't get my microphone to work on Skype on Kubuntu
[18:23] <Guest32437> are you a newbie
[18:23] <marcosRz> ?
[18:24] <udee> marcosRz : inbuilt ?
[18:24] <marcosRz> yes
[18:24] <marcosRz> it worked 100% on Ubuntu (gnome)
[18:24] <marcosRz> than I switched to kde (did a fresh install) and it doesnt work
[18:25] <udee> marcosRz : does the mic work apart from skype ?
[18:25] <Guest32437> is your sound card internal or external
[18:25] <marcosRz> yes
[18:25] <marcosRz> it works on recordmydesktop
[18:25] <marcosRz> and so on
[18:25] <marcosRz> it worked 100% on gnome
[18:25] <rbetzen> make sure the mic channels in kmix are unmuted and turned up to a reasonable level.
[18:25] <marcosRz> yes I did that
[18:25] <marcosRz> I'm not a newbie
[18:26] <Guest32437> ok
[18:26] <Guest32437> is your soundcard detected
[18:26] <udee> marcosRz : 'capture' and 'digital' channels should be on
[18:26] <marcosRz> Of couse
[18:26] <Peace-> marcosRz: mmm rec -o ciao.wav
[18:26] <marcosRz> ...
[18:26] <marcosRz> omg guys
[18:26] <marcosRz> this is frustating
[18:26] <FloodBotK2> marcosRz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:26] <Peace-> marcosRz: well you have to be patient maybe it'0s only some settings ;)
[18:27] <Guest32437> i think you have to select the audio source in the skype settings
[18:27] <torasuku> My icons in "Internet" menu (except for Firefox) keep disappearing on me.. Anyone know how to fix this?
[18:27] <marcosRz> I already did it guys
[18:27] <marcosRz> ...
[18:27] <Guest32437> did you installed the codecs
[18:28] <marcosRz> OMFG
[18:28] <Peace-> marcosRz: ... rec -o ciao.wav ....
[18:28] <Peace-> omg
[18:28] <marcosRz> dude you think I'm a newbie? I've used Linux for 5 years
[18:28] <Guest32437> ok
[18:28] <marcosRz> I tried everything
[18:28] <marcosRz> And it doesnt work
[18:28] <marcosRz> and it works OTB on Gnome
[18:28] <Peace-> if you wanna say it doesnt work well
[18:28] <Guest32437> may your soundcard driver is corrupted
[18:28] <marcosRz> no its not
[18:28] <marcosRz> because it works on gnome
[18:29] <Peace-> well use gnome then...
[18:29] <Guest32437> nocompramise
[18:29] <marcosRz> I really like KDe
[18:29] <marcosRz> but it seems that Gnome is getting more polished on Ubuntu
[18:29] <Peace-> marcosRz: then if you wanna an answer you should do what i said
[18:29] <marcosRz> ...
[18:29] <Peace-> marcosRz: the most of the time the issue is liked to pulse

[19:53] <terran4000> howdy, I have a problem with kubuntu throttling down my laptop at ~70C (when it obviously shouldn't be, at least I think so) ... any way to change that?
[19:55]  * terran4000 gently twiddles his thumbs
[19:56] <robinr> isn't 70 degrees pretty hot?
[19:57] <terran4000> I dunno, all I do know though is that when I run similar stress tests in win7 it gets to the same temps and doesn't scale (which is good)
[19:58] <bottiger> I'm having a really simple question - and yet I doesn't seem to be able t ofind an snawer for it. How to I concat my variabel with a string in this simple script? http://pastebin.ca/1772288
[19:59] <terran4000> bottiger: is memory serves: $VAR1$VAR2 would do the trick
[19:59] <terran4000> *if
[20:00] <bottiger> terran4000: I know that, but how would I do that in my script?
[20:01] <bottiger> terran4000: I only have one variabel
[20:01] <bottiger> want want to use it in the middel of a cmmand
[20:01] <bottiger> command
[20:01] <bottiger> where i concat it with a string
[20:03] <robinr> terran4000: win tests on the same machine?
[20:03] <terran4000> robinr: yup
[20:03] <terran4000> bottiger: cheap way out, make a second variable :-P
[20:04] <terran4000> bottiger: it was either + or '.' to concat strings ... haven't done scripting in a while, a bit rusty
[20:04] <eddy> hi
[20:04] <eddy> i need   help
[20:04] <eddy> !
[20:05] <terran4000> robinr: for example, I run a game in kubuntu, after about 10-15 min (after cold boot) it will drop to 800mghz and stay there until the temp drops to .. hmm, a bit below 60C, then it will go up again
[20:05] <terran4000> assuming I change performance profiles along the way, after it drops
[20:06] <terran4000> though, in win7 ... I happily played for 1 hour, no issues and just to stress test opened up 4 version of the game and photoshop
[20:06] <terran4000> it was slow, of course, but it didn't scale down
[20:06] <terran4000> eddy: don't we all :) What do you need help with?
[20:06] <terran4000> we can't help if you don't ask
[20:07] <eddy> compiz
[20:07] <terran4000> What about compiz?
[20:07] <terran4000> o.o
[20:08] <terran4000> eddy: what about compiz?
[20:09] <eddy> it does not work is very slow  i use  ati radeon xpress
[20:10] <terran4000> Have you installed the 'radeon' drivers?
[20:17] <marcosRz> guys the best way to get the latest amaroks is via this ppa? https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa
[20:17] <marcosRz> ?
[20:18] <terran4000> add the ppa, the install amarok-nightly
[20:18] <marcosRz> thats the kubuntu ppa, not neton
[20:18] <marcosRz> *neon
[20:19] <terran4000> ah, you mean THE amarok nightly builds?
[20:19] <marcosRz> no
[20:19] <marcosRz> I mean the latest stable amarok
[20:19] <terran4000> oo
[20:19] <terran4000> wouldn't that simply be in backports?
[20:19] <terran4000> I remember having neon a while ago, though they ONLY had nightly builds
[20:20] <marcosRz> yes, its on backports ppa, not on official backport
[20:21] <terran4000> So, why not just use that?
[20:22] <marcosRz> I dunno, I like to use few ppas, ppas usually break pkgs
[20:23] <marcosRz> so I want to know if that is the "best" solution
[20:23] <Tm_T> backports ppa
[20:23]  * terran4000 agrees with Tm_T
[20:24] <terran4000> marcosRz: you can enable the backports ppa, install the newest amarok, then disable the ppa
[20:24] <marcosRz> I'll do that
[20:24] <marcosRz> @_@
[20:24] <marcosRz> but I tought there would be a separte ppa for amarok
[20:24] <marcosRz> but its fine :)
[20:25] <terran4000> there is, but it's only the nightly builds
[20:25] <marcosRz> yeah
[20:25] <marcosRz> like mozilla nightly
[20:28] <terran4000> Does anyone know how the change the scaling temperatures?
[20:28] <meowkbuntu> hi whos around
[20:29] <meowkbuntu> i have an error when booting. something about a sertian drive in fstab no being able to mount and i can only get into recovery mode desktop.  what i need to know is where i can find teh boot error and tehn what i need to fix
[20:30]  * meowkbuntu is sad
[20:33] <marcosRz> Guys, anyone knows where can I change/control daemons startup on Kubuntu? I want something like this from Gnome ---> http://blog.ubuntu-tweak.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/services-of-ubuntu.png
[20:33] <meowkbuntu> hello any help please
[20:34] <terran4000> marcosRz: under system settings -> advanced -> service manager
[20:34] <marcosRz> that only give me access to KDE daemons
[20:34] <meowkbuntu> kubuntu sux atm
[20:34] <marcosRz> I want entire daemosn such as crond, mysqld,
[20:34] <meowkbuntu> i am stuck
[20:34] <terran4000> ooo, one of those
[20:35] <terran4000> meowkbuntu: welcome to the club, I'm stuck with a laptop that I can't use at 100% because it scales down to 800mghz all the bloody time
[20:35] <terran4000> marcosRz: sorry, don't know where one of those is
[20:37] <marcosRz> Anyonw knows where I can control daemons startup on KDE? On systemsetting there is only KDE daemons, I want to control startup of crond/mysqld/
[20:39] <WaltzingAlong> marcosRz: could ask in #kde as well
[20:40] <meowkbuntu> herrs all the info i can provide http://pastebin.com/d3b6c399b        and       http://pastebin.com/d3c7b8760
[20:40] <marcosRz> I'm asking
[20:40] <meowkbuntu> terran4000: have you checked teh bios settings
[20:40] <terran4000> meowkbuntu: yup, even upgraded to the lastest and greatest bios that dell released a few days ago, no help from that.
[20:41] <meowkbuntu> ok what os have you tryed
[20:41] <meowkbuntu> ^ terran4000
[20:42] <terran4000> formatting my hard drive, complete reinstall of both OS's, beta video drivers, new bioses, manual frequency setting
[20:42] <terran4000> ect ect ...
[20:42] <terran4000> I thought that I was experiencing the known dell Throttlegate issue
[20:43] <terran4000> though I cannot reproduce this problem in windows 7, Vista nor XP
[20:43] <terran4000> ergo, it's a kubuntu/linux/kde problem
[20:44] <terran4000> And I do not know if it's a KDE or Linux issue, because I could easily reproduce this problem in Arch linux
[20:47] <dandalion> wow
[20:48] <terran4000> Well, I've come to the conclusion that I should have just bought a mac ><
[20:48] <terran4000> though I do wish I could figure this linux issue out, then I'd be all set.
[20:49] <terran4000> Especially since this issue DOES stop me from even doing any work. Since I can't even run a VM for any decent amount of time
[20:55] <Guest54068> would somebody help me? i want to start my emacs with another frame size. so i added emacs.geometry: 100x100 in ~/.Xresources. but it does not work. why?
[20:56] <Guest54068> i had to create .Xresources first. maybe it is not the file checked?
[20:57] <Guest54068> anybody out there?

[21:05] <bottiger> where can I find anacrons startup-script?
[21:05] <bottiger>  /etc/init.d/anacron only tells me to use upstart
[21:06] <tsimpson> bottiger: upstart uses /etc/init/<daemon>.conf
[21:06] <Kanguru> can anyone help me with proxy's?
[21:07] <bottiger> tsimpson: ahh - thank you
[21:09] <Izinucs> I'm having issues with the Facebook plasma widget.. It was working and now is "Black".. any ideas on how to fix this?
[21:18] <ngong> how to setup legacy nVidia drivers with 9.10?
[21:19] <Izinucs> ngong: did you install them from kpackagekit? or down load them from nvidia?

[21:20] <jschall> how do i correct the default file handlers in firefox so that it
[21:20] <jschall> how do i correct the default file handlers in firefox so that it'll use dragon player, etc?
[21:21] <ngong> lzinucs: just installed 9.10 on a PC with Geforce4 4800SE, it uses the free drivers and gave me 800x600 where i need 1200x800
[21:22] <ngong> Izinucs: just installed 9.10 on a PC with Geforce4 4800SE, it uses the free drivers and gave me 800x600 where i need 1200x800
[21:22] <Izinucs> ngong: couple of things.. first have you done all your updates? I typically use the terminal with  "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get distupgrade"  .. after that look in the hardware drivers section and see if there is a driver waiting for activation..
[21:23] <Izinucs> K>Applications>System>Hardware Dirvers
[21:23] <Izinucs> *drivers
[21:27] <jschall> how do i correct the default file handlers in firefox so that it'll use kde apps like ark. it tries to use command line tools like tar instead of ark. seems like i'm constantly having to tell firefox what to use by giving it the path to the binary every time i download a file.
[21:28] <Izinucs> jschall: maybe the FF channel can answer that or #kde or even #ubuntu
[21:32] <gnac> hello, I'm having trouble connecting to a dynamic wep (802.1x) network with hidden SSID.
[21:32] <gnac> I found this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/441273 with no apparent resolution.
[21:32] <gnac> Any way I can get this fixed?  is this a known [k]ubuntu issue?
[21:32] <Izinucs> gnac: unhide the ssid
[21:33] <gnac> Izinucs: its not mine to unhide
[21:33] <gnac> corporate
[21:34] <ngong> Izinucs: ok did so, somehow it got worth now, I may choose from 640x480 and 320x240
[21:34] <Izinucs> gnac: 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] <Kanguru> can you get a linux mail address?
[21:35] <Izinucs> ngong: usually after enabling the driver you have to restart your machine.. it makes a kernel mode typically
[21:35] <ngong> Izinucs: I did restart
[21:35] <gnac> Izinucs: i tried manually configuring it with iwconfig. eg iwconfig eth2 essid corpessid, but even then it didn't show up in iwscan
[21:36] <Izinucs> gnac: wireless can be a pain sometimes depending on your card.. sorry I have no answers
[21:37] <gnac> kk, ty
[21:37] <Izinucs> ngong: then maybe it's the wrong driver.. do you remember the version or number of the driver?
[21:37] <ngong> Izinucs: System/Hardware driver tells me that I now have a NVIDIA (Version 96) driver
[21:37] <Izinucs> k.. and what kind of nvidia card do you have?
[21:38] <Izinucs> ngong: ^ ^
[21:38] <ngong> from http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.09/README/appendix-a.html I found that I need a 96.43.xx driver
[21:39] <Guest22216> Great work guys!
[21:40] <ngong> Izinucs: lspci tells me that a GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE is built in
[21:40] <Izinucs> ngong: you may have to run nvidia-settings
[21:40] <Izinucs> the supplied ubuntu driver you enabled is the same version mentioned on the nvidia site.
[21:41] <Rav3nSw0rd> is there a way to use dpkg -i package.deb to auto install dependecies for the package? If so, how?
[21:41] <Izinucs> typically works just like that
[21:43] <ngong> Izinucs: it may not be able to detect the TFT because it is also a legacy one, May this cause the limitation?
[21:44] <ngong> Izinucs: nvidia-settings gives me no other choises
[21:44] <Izinucs> ngong: 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 it
[21:44] <gnac> when 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.
[21:46] <Izinucs> ngong: did you try loading nvidia-settings?
[21:47] <ngong> Izinucs: yes, I thried nvidia-settings, gave me the same choise of 640x480, nothing more
[21:48] <Izinucs> ngong: 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 cli
[21:49] <ngong> Izinucs: 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?
[21:50] <Izinucs> ngong: I'm not really good with xrandr so I don't know.. possibly on ##linux you might get a better answer or on #kde
[21:50] <FrozenPencil> I need help with Ubuntu.
[21:50] <ngong> Izinucs: thank you very much, I'll try there
[21:50] <Izinucs> np

[21:54] <gnac> just ask, don't ask to ask
[21:54] <ngong> Izinucs: there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11. Is that ok for kubuntu?
[21:56] <Izinucs> ngong: with the 9.10 release of all ubuntu varients.. there isn't much of anything in xorg.conf.  It's now all handled by xrandr in a different way.. However if you put stuff in xorg.conf it will override xrandr.. so you could build your own if you want
[21:56] <FrozenPencil> Nobody wabt to help me in #kububtu. :/
[22:02] <lsv> any one up for pm

[23:04] <octocpp> what is the best way to scan emails from kmail through clamav, I have Klamav installed and made filters to send it through   'klammail' but is seems that kmail just ignores the filters that it makes, even the filters that it makes itself using the wizard. I send a bo2k in the mail to myself and clamav did not change the header to say 'virus-found' and it let the virus get out and back in with no catching it?
[23:06] <octocpp> did anyone see what i typed, am i in here i wonder? room seems to be acting up
[23:07] <floh79> octocpp: same do I wonder. :/
[23:07] <Toast> octocpp: I can see you, but I would wait till all this dies down and ask again.
[23:07] <floh79> octocpp: Isn't this channel acting weird today?
[23:07] <titan_ark> hmmmm
[23:07] <titan_ark> I just joined
[23:08] <floh79> What is the purpose of both bots "FloodBotKx"? O_o
[23:08] <octocpp> someone needs to give #kubuntu a smackdown
[23:09] <Toast> octocpp: There have been a number of attacks on the network recently. This might be related.
[23:09] <octocpp> seems there is a smambot flood ?
[23:09] <octocpp> spam
[23:11] <Toast> I would quite like an IRC client which only showed low importance messages in the bottom 5 lines of the screen, and only kept name change or quit message visable above that if the user had been active recently.
[23:18] <octocpp> Toast: konversation can Hide join/part/nick events, and redirect status messages to the server status window, is that what you mean ?
[23:20] <Toast> octocpp: Almost... I would like the history scroll back to show those messages only for the first 5 lines, but after that, they disappear.
[23:20] <octocpp> ahh
[23:21] <Toast> With some intelligence, so that if a user has been actively chatting, a message about them will be kept.
[23:22] <octocpp> what is the best way to scan emails from kmail through clamav, I have Klamav installed and made filters to send it through   'klammail' but is seems that kmail just ignores the filters that it makes, even the filters that it makes itself using the wizard. I send a bo2k in the mail to myself and clamav did not change the header to say 'virus-found' and it let the virus get out and back in with no catching it?
[23:22] <octocpp> trying agian ::)
[23:28] <floh79> octocpp: I don't know about kmail and klammail but did you look into clamav-logs?
[23:29] <octocpp> i didnt see that it did any scanning
[23:29] <floh79> octocpp: Also you could try to start kmail from konsole (maybe with -v for verbose outputs) so you could see what happens.
[23:29] <octocpp> i am going to add some stff to the script that kmail uses for making the temp file and scanning it, to see if it as getting launched too
[23:31] <floh79> Ah... kmail calls the script if you send/receive any mail with attachment?
[23:31] <floh79> Then you could try to add logging into your script in order to see if the script is really started and what is done in script.
[23:31] <floh79> Just a idea.
[23:32] <floh79> Do anyone know which packages contains: startmenu->settings->components->KDE Resources?
[23:32] <floh79> I want to uninstall it.
[23:46] <rob0917> How can I install the b43 broadcom driver manually ?
[23:59] <turtle^s0up> hello all, does anyone know why my DNS /etc/resolv.conf  automatically changes?
