=== basti2 is now known as basti [00:19] hey guys whats the tool in kubuntu to install pkgs from inside kde ? [00:22] as in synaptics in ubuntu? [00:22] I'd prefer synaptics BTW [00:23] kubuntu has adept you can call it with 'adept_manager' it'd be in the KDE menus though [00:24] what about kpackagekit ? [00:24] Hello! How do I remove a package without removing dep.'s? [00:25] no adept_manager [00:25] hello all [00:26] kpackageit I think is for .deb installing, just like Gdebi [00:26] i've installed kubuntu 9.10 and have no sound ... it only works on the startup sound and logout sound, but i cant get the sound when listening mp3 ... [00:26] any idea ? [00:27] UnixDawg... is not .... well... I know... 9.1 comes with 'aptitude' which is a console one [00:27] * AHelper2 has no sound... [00:27] UnixDawg but if you want the GUI one, I'd suggest to go with Synaptic, it'd be about 10mbs dl but is worth it IMO over the others [00:28] ok [00:28] AHelper just do sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME; doesn't include any libs if it does, it'd say what's removig [00:29] But that will remove dependencies... [00:30] i have strange issue with sound on kubuntu 9.10 [00:30] i can only hear sound when logging in to my session, or loging out from it [00:30] except that, sound wont work [00:30] AHelper2..... it doesn't often for me.... I have to remove the deps with sudo apt-get autoremove often [00:31] sudo apt-get remove libopenal1 will remove all openal apps, not what I want [00:31] fourat: sound won't work... what does that mean? mp3s or oggs dont' work you mean? and wav's do? [00:31] AHelper check in dpkg, or man dpkg; dpkg will have options relative to dependencies for that [00:32] Typos_King, is there an alsa sound tester, just to check it the right way [00:32] Hmm... My question (for all of this): How can I get OpenAL to work with PA? [00:34] All OpenAL programs crash with .alsoftrc's config set to drivers=pulse,alsa. Before this config, the audio crackled or was dropped. [00:35] fourat: I don't think 9.1 comes with an mp3 decoders out of the box, it does do .wavs, but in my case I installed audacious2 player and it installed mp3 libs for playback [00:35] My Kubuntu had MP3's out-of-the-box... [00:35] mine didn't [00:36] Hmm... [00:36] Gah... My PC's audio has been nothing but trouble... [00:38] fourat: and the 'session events' usually use either .ogg or .wav that I've seen [00:40] Hmm... an openal app tested ok for openal... [00:42] OK. What can cause openal to have all null values when printing the openal version? [00:43] * Typos_King doesn't use openall :| [00:45] ... No games for you? === javier_ is now known as Toru [00:53] i can not get my laptop to connect to the internet, it will not work wired or wireless. i need to reinstall my network manager on my laptop but can not do it can anyone help me?

[09:43] zubin71: package for a font? [09:43] zubin71: arent those installed by the kde font installer [09:44] shadeslayer, well, i tried that but the font doesnt work for me on KDE. i assumd there must be a package for a set of fonts... [09:44] im not sure tho... [09:46] !find monaco [09:46] File monaco found in openclipart-png, openclipart-svg, roxen-fonts-iso8859-1, xfig-libs [09:46] zubin71: try installing : roxen-fonts-iso8859-1 : maybe it has it [09:47] shadeslayer, trying it out.. [09:53] i have a asus eee t91 netbook with touchscreen.. now successfully installed kubuntu 9.10 with latest packages from backports.. [09:53] so.. all is working.. [09:54] next step is get toucscreen running.. how can i check what manufacturer the touchscreen has? if its evtouch i know basically what to do.. [10:00] noaXess: try lspci or sudo lshw [10:01] shadeslayer: lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384252/ [10:02] shadeslayer, nope still does`nt work.. is [10:02] is it a karmic prob? [10:02] zubin71: dunno, [10:02] shadeslayer: sudo lshw: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384253/ [10:02] noaXess: um..nothing useful in lspci [10:03] shadeslayer, thnkx for trying anyhow! :) [10:04] shadeslayer: in lshw too [10:05] yeah.. [10:06] shadeslayer: hm.. is that cause it's not loaded or a part of another device? [10:07] noaXess: you might want to have a look at this bug on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317094 [10:07] noaXess: well lspci and lshw dont depend on the loaded modules afaik [10:07] i was searching for bugs too ;) [10:08] this is the "general" bug to gather all data for various touchscreen manufaturers and trying to solve the problem [10:08] manufacturers* [10:09] Mamarok: so.. what you think.. install evtouch anyway and test? [10:09] or what you will do? [10:10] noaXess: yes, there is not much of a choice if you can't get other data [10:10] Mamarok: ok... so search for a howto.. [10:11] noaXess: but you should skim through the submitted stuff to see if you can find something similar to your output [10:11] ok [10:11] shadeslayer: hint: subscribe to the bugs ML and then search locally in kmail, much faster than searching on Launchpad :) [10:12] Mamarok: well i have subscribed to kubuntu bugs.. i was searching in that :) [10:12] but i guess since i have a new subscription this bug was not in it [10:12] ayn knowledge en evtouch? [10:12] in ^ [10:16] shadeslayer: Mamarok: look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384264/ on line 62: N: Name="AsusTek, Inc. MultiTouch" [10:18] noaXess: oh, great, you have the handlers! [10:18] so you should be able to configure the device [10:18] Mamarok: how?? [10:18] hm, lst time I did that was 6 months ago... [10:19] it needs to be added to xorg.conf IIRC [10:19] Mamarok: i know.. but what.. [10:19] but since that was so long ago it might have changed [10:19] let me digg that up [10:21] ok nice... [10:22] * shadeslayer has no idea what handlers are ;) [10:24] shadeslayer: it is needed to calibrate the touchscreen [10:24] hi [10:24] Mamarok: okies.. [10:24] I have a problem with session logging dialog cause it stays in qwerty, how can I fix that please ? [10:26] anyone please ? [10:28] lunch time... enjoy your meal's :) [10:28] noaXess: did you run lshal yet? [10:29] Ok, I think I got it, but session manager should allow to switch keymap, like windwos does [10:30] hola [10:30] hoooo still not set [10:30] alguien habla español? [10:30] !es | apofis2010 [10:30] apofis2010: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [10:30] damn, how do you change the keymap for session manager ? [10:30] apofis2010: , search for a spanish chan [10:30] smooki: I just told him [10:31] tnks [10:31] smooki: also,why changing the keymap for the sessionmanager? Configure different ones in the systemsettings and change in the SysTray [10:32] please help me [10:32] smooki: did you just read what I told you? [10:32] hi guys..I want to ask how to install kubuntu minimal install from a Kubuntu 9.10 CD.... [10:33] tinashe: do you already have an Ubuntu installation? [10:33] oops Mamarok === shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_ [10:34] Mamarok : why change it ? well, as I use an azerty keyboard, getting qwerty at session manager is not conveniant you see ... [10:34] Mamarok, hi there..i want to install a fresh Kubuntu Minimal Install on a Virtual Machine for certain projects which should be shippable in terms of the VM sizes... [10:34] tinashe: the CD actually *is* a minimal Kubuntu [10:34] it just contains a lot of langauge packs [10:35] smooki: configure different keyboard layouts in the systemsetting -> Region and language and activate the changer for the SysTray, then you can easily switch. [10:35] Mamarok, I know..i meant more minimal than that..if possible...otherwise, how many gigs would it take me to install the minimal CD [10:36] Mamarok : I've allready done that, but I has no effect on session manager itself ! [10:36] Mamarok, I want to create a VM hard disk < 1Gb [10:36] tinashe: yes, the CD is much less, and you only instll the langauges you need, that makes much less than the iso size [10:37] smooki: you should set your system locale right, then [10:37] Mamarok: , set locale, where please ? [10:37] session manager uses the system keyboard setting, chosen on installation [10:37] !locale [10:37] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [10:37] smooki: see above [10:37] Mamarok, ok..how do i get to select the packages i want for the minimal install..in suse there is an option for that..how about kubuntu? [10:38] !minimal [10:38] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:38] well I asked for azerty during installation, believe me, and really KDE team should add a keymap switcher [10:38] smooki: hm, then this is a bug, first time I hear about though [10:39] Mamarok : bug or not, there really must be a switcher, like windows afaik [10:40] Hi I installed the "gnome-control-center" because of some issues of my gtk application sounds, but since then all my notications changed from plasma notification to gnome notification. They are realy ugly, is there a way to change them back? [10:40] anyway thanks for helping Mamarok [10:40] smooki: that should not be necessary since it should use the azerty keyboard by default, if configured correctly [10:41] smooki, Mamarok the mini.iso CDs available there are Ubuntu..I want to install Kubuntu... [10:41] well, many people will not even know what is keymap, so allowing to easilly change that would be appreciated by azerty kb onwer [10:41] tinashe : what ? [10:42] smooki: just a quick thing, does changing the language of the login manager help? (not ideal, but maybe try it?) system settings -> advanced -> login manager -> language [10:42] nope it doesn't [10:42] sadly [10:42] smooki, erm erm..I mean the link you gave me has only Ubuntu minimal cds..and not Kubuntu... [10:43] tinashe : I didn't give you any link dude [10:43] tinashe: the minimal is neither, you can choose ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop... it allows you to choose what you want [10:43] tinashe: apt-get install kubuntu desktop after install. [10:43] Forgot the hyphen. [10:44] smooki, sorry..that was directed to ubottu..sorry... [10:44] !bot | tinashe [10:44] tinashe: Hi! I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [10:46] tinashe: the person giving you those links was jussi01, not ubottu, which is just a bot === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer [10:50] Mamarok, well in the chat i saw this from him..pretty sure..n-way burning the Min. CD now..did u say it gives an option of Kubuntu and Ubuntu on Installation? [10:50] tinashe: yes, you can choose on installation which desktop you want to install [10:51] Mamarok, kk..thanks..one other question...would be a 500MB VM Hard Disk be enough for this min cd? [10:52] Mamarok, considering that most files will be extracted... [10:53] ok to change the 'native' keymap, the ubuntu's site says to use dpkg-reconfigure, but I don't get this, so I tried a search but I cant define witch pak is related ... can someone help me ? [10:54] Mamarok, I mean during installation... [10:59] Mamarok, am not nagging..just want to ask if a 500MB VM Hard Disk is enough for the minimal install CD..considering that files are gonna be extraced.. [10:59] Mamarok, before I installl. [10:59] tinashe: I doubt that, 500 Mb is very tiny [11:01] Mamarok, ok...so roughly what size...

[11:01] tinashe: 1.5 Bg would be more sane to have [11:02] smooki: there is no such package [11:02] well [11:02] are you shoure you typed that correctly? [11:02] ciaoooooooooooo [11:02] list [11:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf <--- they say to use $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf [11:02] it should read localeconf [11:02] smooki: you missed the e [11:03] !list > ema [11:03] ema, please see my private message [11:03] ok sorry ^^ [11:03] but even wrtting it well, I got that response [11:04] Mamarok : ? [11:05] smooki: I am checking, wait [11:05] thanks [11:07] smooki: to configure the locales you can use the locale command [11:07] localeconf is not used anymore, that wiki is a bit old, sorry [11:07] ciaoooo [11:07] !list [11:07] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [11:09] Mamarok : what is old, to use localeconf or dpkg-reconfigure localeconf ?

[11:22] smooki: set your locales with the locale command, it is described there [11:22] and set your keyboard, described a bit more down in that page [11:22] pl [11:22] ok [11:23] but there is not a file to edit ? that would be easier [11:28] smooki: you just have to type a line to configure that, no need to edit anything [11:49] Mamarok, man is there a way of using advanced install when installing ubuntu minimal cd.. [11:53] tinashe_: it uses the alternative installer, what do you mean by "advanced instalL"? [11:57] Mamarok, oh..i mean selecting only the packages you want to install besides the default... [11:58] tinashe_: I guess you have the choice for a minimal installation, everything else you can add afterwards [11:58] I have never used it [11:59] ok, meal time, bbl [12:01] Mamarok, kk..thanks... [12:17] Mamarok: so.. back.. [12:18] lshal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384338/ [12:19] Hi installed GDM , how do I run it? [12:21] sate: just logout? [12:21] sate: have you reconfigured it? sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm should do all what needed and set gdm as default display manager [12:21] sate: when you installed gdm it would have asked you if you want to set it as default [12:21] yeah I said no [12:21] sate: but why, you work in kubuntu? [12:21] I do [12:21] but my computer is acting sluggish [12:21] why gdm? not kdm? [12:22] I just need a new windows manager, thats not using so much resources [12:22] sate: you misunderstand. [12:22] sate: kdm is not a window manager. [12:23] What I mean is, I need may need to use GDM, because it doesn't use so much resources like KDE [12:24] sate: if you want to run _gnome_ instead of _kde_ you can still use either kdm or gdm. they're login managers, i.e. the applications you enter your password into at the start. [12:24] sate: untrue [12:24] sate: you can make your WM as light as you please [12:24] sate: just install ubuntu-desktop then you get gnome.. or fresh install ubuntu instead of kubuntu [12:24] ahh [12:25] so installing GDM won't solve anything? [12:25] sate: i think you're confused about what you want, what's using resources and what isn't and what is what. [12:25] sate: no. [12:25] sate: nothing at all. it's just ugly ;-) [12:25] I agree, but my computer crys lately :( [12:25] I got all desktop effects off [12:25] sate: whats your config? [12:26] What do you mean shadeslayer? [12:27] sate: like hardware configuration? === coaboa_ is now known as coaboa [12:27] oh my specs [12:28] I have a toshiba satellite m115 s3094 [12:28] Upgraded to 2 gigs of ram, 1.6ghz duo, crappy intel 945 gpu card [12:30] Should I not be using kde shadeslayer? [12:32] sate: um that looks fine [12:32] sate: the intel card can be problematic. the drivers, especially. apart from that it should run very well with that specs. [12:32] Well I just notice that when I run youtube, my cpu fan runs constantly.. When I had ubuntu installed, It didn't run that much [12:32] I really like the KDE, but I just don't want to kill my computer :/ [12:33] sate: you won't harm your computer that way if it's not broken and not overclocked. [12:34] So the cpu fan being on is okay? [12:34] sate: absolutely [12:34] sate: of course. it exists to cool the cpu. as long as it's running, all is well. [12:34] Hey all [12:35] Don't get me wrong my laptop is a fine computer, I just don't want to over kill it. Like I had windows 7 installed, but it was too much [12:50] HI.. I know about !kde. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. Does anyone know about activity porting KDE3 to LL? [12:50] !kde3 [12:50] Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page [12:53] edakiri: KDE 3 is officially unsupported in LL [12:53] edakiri: also on karmic ;) [12:55] I know it is 'unofficial' I just desperately need to upgrade frome KDE4 to KDE3. [12:55] So I may go back to karmic. [12:56] edakiri: upgrade? thats a downgrade ;) [12:57] hi, with Kate every time i open a file it opens a new instance of the editor, i know if i use kate -u file it reuses the editor, is there a way to get this as the default behavior on kubuntu? I open lots of files and would like them to be on the same kate window like it happens with notepad++ on windows [13:05] jetdrone: maybe modifying the laucher? [13:09] ok if i do that on /usr/share/applications/kde4/kate.desktop it works, and maybe offtopic is it just me or shouldn't this be the default behavior?

[16:39] timothy_: If you first describe your problem it may be easier to get some input on it [16:40] my mouse stops working randomly i think its when i open certain pkgs but i plug another mouse in and it will work for a while too then it stops the light even turns off like i dont have power to the usb the only way to get the mice to work again is to restart [16:40] usually only takes 3 to 5 minutes im on the newest kubuntu [16:41] BluesKaj: I disabled Compiz, now it's more responsive :-) [16:42] anyone know if the dlink dbt-120 bluetooth usb dongle is supported ? [16:42] fcomtois, yeah compiz is ok , but desktop effects is almost as good with less load and more stability (it uses compiz at a lower level btw) [16:42] genii_: ive seen this problem all over forums and ive seen complaints but no answers maybe my bios isnt compatible ... i dont know [16:43] BluesKaj: but I mean I disabled everything [16:43] Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) [16:44] BluesKaj: it still feels a bit sluggish, it's quite weird [16:44] fcomtois, well my pc isn' quite as new and up to date as your( 5yrs old now) , but i don't see any sluggishness with desktop effects enabled [16:44] BluesKaj: what's your graphic card?

[16:46] BluesKaj: yeah your 7600GT is making the difference [16:46] yeah, could be alright [16:47] my mouse stops working randomly i think its when i open certain pkgs but i plug another mouse in and it will work for a while too then it stops the light even turns off like i dont have power to the usb the only way to get the mice to work again is to restart [16:47] just stopped [16:47] fml [16:48] BluesKaj: can I bother for one last thing, I dont understand why smbclient keep asking me for a login and password [16:48] which I dont need [16:50] fcomtois, well that's std procedure [16:50] fcomtois, that's security for the pc you are connecting to [16:51] seriously doods anyone know why my mouse would stop working randomly and when i plug another mouse in it too works for a minute then stops [16:51] BluesKaj: I know, but with normal Ubuntu I didnt need that [16:51] BluesKaj: that's why Im perplexed [16:52] fcomtois, that's changed , no need to be perplexed , username and pw is std now in karmic [16:52] BluesKaj: but I had the normal Karmic running last week... and no problem to access my samba shares [16:54] ever since i installed karmic . username and pw permissions has been the case ..perhaps you can change it to auto ,I haven't bothered to try [16:55] fcomtois, well it's time for my daily walk ...BB in an hr or so. [16:57] Is it even possible yet to do? [16:58] Hi. I'd like to move my family members to Kubuntu. One requirement I can't figure out how to do -- syncing contacts & calendar between Kontact & a Smartphone. I did a bunch of reading, and there seems to be all sorts of bad feelings/opinions between Opensync, SymcML, KDE. [16:59] Is there a quick application to format a partition/drive that I can use? [17:00] hi guys [17:02] afief: Can you use cfdisk ? [17:03] Ferran: sure, but I was hoping for a GUI [17:04] afief then gparted? [17:04] Ferran: thanks :) [17:04] Ferran: hadn't thought about gparted [17:05] afief It is handy to keep a CD of systemrescuecd around I find, too. It includes gparted ... [17:06] Ferran: actually this is to reformat a disk on key to fat32 so that my dvd can read it... [17:06] Ferran: I wonder if adding a "Format" option to Dolphin would be desirable [17:08] does anyone know how to loop mic sounds to speakers? [17:09] afief cfdisk is very simple for doing that ... [17:10] Ferran: oh I agree, but you know, trying to get the other kids on the block to use Linux too and they are scared when I tell them to run the scary terminal [17:11] Ferran: by the way, I used mkfs.vfat to format it, but it bothered me that I *had* to drop to a terminal for that(although admittedly it's not a common thing to do) [17:12] afief Then gparted is good. But if you worry about them being uncomfortable with terminal, I am not so sure that giving them a partition manager is a good idea. [17:13] Ferran: you know windows user, they learn how to use a GUI and think they should be given a PhD in computer science for that [17:26] what is pulseaudio libs? [17:29] Sakui http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio [17:30] because it's disabling the nvidia soundcard and pulseaudio does not work [17:30] Does anyone sync a mobilephone with Kubuntu? [17:30] is there a way to disable it? [17:32] Sakui https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio -> PulseAudioRemoval. Before you do, you may wish to familiarize with Ubuntu's excellent documentation.

[18:38] AlienDK: What did you do? === Y0Y0 is now known as yoyo [18:49] hi folks, quick question: i have 2 repos in my sources.list file: beta and backports. i need backports for kde sc 4.4, i need beta for amarok 2.3b; thing is, amarok does not get upgraded, inspite the version from beta being higher than the one from backports. i tried everything up to and including dist-upgrade; amarok's version still remains 2.2.2.90-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa1 [18:50] raymears: if you have synaptic you can force amarok to use a specific version(I don't know how to do it using apt though) [18:52] afief: shouldn't apt automatically take the highest version number? [18:52] also.. how do i do it from synaptic (i have synaptic) [18:52] raymears: basically yes, but sometimes there are issues that make it not do it [18:53] raymears: that is the highest version [18:53] raymears: Candidate: 2:2.2.2.90-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa1 [18:53] raymears: select your package, then in the menu: package->force version [18:54] hmm.. bloody hell. you're right, shadeslayer [18:54] that is the beta [18:54] at least that is what "aptitude show amarok" tells me [18:55] ...ok. i am officially an idiot. [18:57] Who understands vmware? [18:57] i have an supposedly vmware image [18:57] shadeslayer: thank you for opening my eyes. i should not have commenced drinking so early after all, inspite it being friday night and all that [18:57] but it has vmx, .img [18:57] and ive never used anything but .iso [18:58] sledge: use the .vmx file [18:59] shadeslayer, as far as what? loading that up like an iso? [18:59] sledge: use the .vmx file as the vmware image [19:00] sledge: the .img is for writing to a pen drive [19:00] ok [19:03] shadeslayer, do you know an easy way to install vmware from apt in terminal? [19:04] sledge: theres kvm === prefrontal_ is now known as prefrontal [19:04] sledge: and you can just do : kvm -m 512 -cdrom filename.vmx [19:05] which launches a vm with 512 MB ram [19:06] A survey!

Where can I start to fix the problem, please? === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [20:13] Can somebody please give me a hint, where to start searching for the error? [20:14] can anyone help me with KDE? [20:15] anyone? [20:16] aramis: what is the problem? [20:16] i am new to it.. want some basic tips. [20:16] Solak, have you read my problem? [20:16] aramis: can you be more specific? [20:17] NewProggie: I read something similar to your problem [20:18] NewProggie: what language do you have your setup? different to english or so? [20:18] I'm a german user [20:18] NewProggie: I read the problem here http://apachelog.blogspot.com/2010/02/when-x-decides-to-crash.html [20:19] NewProggie: the user had he_IL local, when he switch to en it worked. Try login to conole (ALT F1) [20:20] NewProggie: and make a new user, then try to login with the new user. [20:21] * Solak had an odd problem yesterday: some settings were gone (wallpaper, geometry of folder-view and a panel, also the size of the panel at the bottom of the screen) [20:22] I know there was not much space left, but I wonder if that could have caused the problem (settings not saved at logout?) [20:23] Solak: yes, and maybe the logout didn't finish [20:23] KDesk, ok, one step further. Now I have the problem, which I had before I was installing the proprietary driver for my ati graphic card: I just can see the harddisk logo (in the login screen) and then it starts to freeze.. [20:24] KDesk: hmm, but if the settings were saved in a previous session they wouldn't it be logical to assume settings were available and should be restored from there? [20:25] NewProggie: hmm, with the new user happens this? [20:25] s/they/then [20:25] Solak: odd, don't know.. [20:25] yes, and it happened before I was installing the proprietary driver from ati [20:25] ive turned the toolbar in dolphin off by mistake...how do i enable it again? [20:26] KDesk: do you know where panels are stored? Perhaps I can look at that map and see if they're still available. [20:26] Where can I look up some errors to get at least a hint for this problem? [20:27] Solak: some where in ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-something.. [20:27] n8w: right click in the toolbar and select the tolbar [20:28] NewProggie: in ~/.xsession-errors [20:28] KDesk: nope...i meant the toolbar havin menus such as file,etc [20:28] thats why im askin,bcoz there is obvious way how to enable it [20:28] NewProggie: and in /var/log/ there maybe Xorg.0.log is interesting [20:29] n8w: ah [20:29] n8w: with CTRL+m [20:29] KDesk: ok got it [20:29] KDesk: my bad,its called a manubar... [20:29] KDesk: anywai, its back there:)) [20:30] n8w: ah, yes, menubar hehe. in every KDE app (almost) you can use CTRL+m to hide/show it [20:31] KDesk: hmm, can't find it... anyway, thanks! [20:33] hello. I've just installed kubuntu byt my network interfaces don't work [20:33] KDesk: ok:) thx... [20:35] where is the setting to disable the 'pop' notification when you click a button (in Lucid) [20:35] can anybody help me troubleshoot my network connection? [20:36] scone: what's about that ? [20:37] Peace-, I can't get a dhcp lease from my router. No interwebs :( [20:37] scone: ethernet? [20:38] yup. i have 2 interfaces, one is 10/100, one is gig-e [20:38] that s strnage [20:38] let me see you interfaces [20:38] how can I tell apt-get not to install libpulse?

[20:41] yup [20:41] Peace-: If later than 9.04 it's now sudo restart networking [20:41] genii: that's nice [20:42] scone: i have no idea right now [20:42] Peace-, restart networking gives me "unknown instance" and init.d says "ok" [20:42] lol me too!

Create it [20:43] well darn [20:43] scone but i would like know this is the scheme internet router ----ethernet---your ubuntu biox?^ [20:44] Peace-, yeah. cable plugged from router to box [20:45] router to 'net [20:45] and it works fine in windows and gentoo [20:45] omg [20:46] that should work fine into kubunut too [20:46] i know! [20:46] i mean i plug in the ethernet cable and it works here [20:46] mmm [20:46] scone: maybe your card is not on ? [20:47] i mean the lights blink [20:47] or is not enabled via bios? [20:47] i tried ifconfig eth0 up [20:47] and like i said it works in gentoo/windows [20:47] ok [20:47] scone: have you upgraded kde? [20:47] have you renamed $HOME/.kde? [20:47] i mean you can try [20:48] nah this is literally right after install [20:48] ah... [20:48] this is bad [20:48] scone: Simple question; is the OS finding the interfaces at all? if you do an ifconfig -a do you see the eth0 and eth1 ? [20:48] ifconfig what it says? [20:48] yeah ifconfig reports both interfaces [20:49] bios no , cable no ... the only thing is the kernel and the configurations [20:49] and/or [20:49] scone: So do you have network manager or wicd ? [20:50] ethernet should work even without wicd [20:50] but the way it's set up is different - although you would expect it to dhcp out of the box [20:51] penguin42, does it come with the install? like i said this is fresh, and without internet i cant install packages :( [20:52] scone: That's OK - I just can't remember what's fresh - if you do ps -eaf | grep wicd do you get anything (other than the grep) - similarly if you grep -i networkmanager [20:53] penguin42, just the grep [20:53] ok - so neither networkmanager or wicd ? [20:53] nope [20:54] ok, (says he knowing the ubuntu rather than kubuntu install better) - in your panel do you see a network icon? [20:54] penguin42, yes [20:54] it says there are no connections [20:55] and if you right click on it there is a manage connections - same for me, I guess best thing is to Add one! [20:55] scone: Select wired and then click add [20:56] test [20:56] toast [20:57] penguin42, didn't seem to do anything [20:57] oh === perso is now known as plopsaland === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ === zbenjamin|away is now known as zbenjamin [21:15] DOES anyone know what i need to do to make rythmbox work, amarok just works like crap [21:19] * penguin42 tends to use Exaile these days (although I was giving Amarok another go today - I just don't get why it's so hard to get going on it) === memenode is now known as IncrediblyIndeci === IncrediblyIndeci is now known as Indecisive [21:32] sledge: "like crap" doesn't tell us much.

[21:35] ok, like to get the basic problems out of the way first =) [21:36] sledge download it from the Internet getsongbird.com [21:37] sledge: I take it that your usb is also selected in the collection folder configuration as well, right? [21:37] tbh, I always preferred rhythmbox as well before I fully switched to KDE [21:39] noctule: I find songbird sounds better than rhythmbox no idea why though [21:40] noctule the folder yes [21:46] Haven't actually tried songbird [21:51] sledge: still trying to think of what the problem could be, but giving another media player may be the best route, especially if this isn't the only issue for you with amarok [21:52] hm [21:52] noctule, well i like rythmbox [21:52] robin0800: sould be no diff in the audio quality, both use gstreamer [21:53] ok sledge, what problems are you getting when you try to use rhythmbox? [21:54] noctule, missing codecs [21:54] Ahh! [21:54] is there a virtual package that I can rebuild the system to the default Kubuntu setting...I removed libpulse0 and I guess it removed too much [21:54] ? [21:54] ok that's more doable [21:54] noctule, actually nvm it disappeaerd. [21:55] noctule, ill find something else that works, thanks for your help.. work calls [21:55] no worries, take care [21:56] noctule, i mean, i don't want to rescan everytime.. i know i probably have to edit fstab [21:56] noctule, that would fix it.. [21:58] sledge, I know exactly what you mean. Give me a shout if you see me on and want to try another go at fixing it [22:01] is there an installer command in kubuntu 9.10? I mean after you installed it? [22:01] KDesk: the only difference is the decoding codec songbird uses its own propriety one [22:05] robin0800: realy? for which audio type? [22:06] KDesk: mp3 at least not sure about other formats [22:07] robin0800: so it doesn't use gstreamer for mp3? or a gstreamer plugin? [22:08] KDesk: it uses gstreamer but not for decoding if I understand correctly [22:13] KDesk: more info http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/what_are_the_terms_of_licensing_for_the_fluendo_mp3_decoder_included_in_the_linux_version_of_songbird [22:16] Does anyone know how to set the Desktop Page "Always On Top"? [22:16] sorry, "Desktop Pager" [22:16] robin0800: ah, thanks, will read [22:17] rosco_y: the widget? [22:17] KDesk: Yes, thank you. [22:17] rosco_y: you can not do that [22:18] rosco_y: but you can use a shortcurt to see the dashboard [22:18] KDesk: also http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/fluendo-mp3-decoder/ [22:18] rosco_y: or use a small panel [22:18] KDesk: I did experiment with the shortcut, but I'm not sure I understand what it is supposed to do [22:19] rosco_y: a shortcut to see the dashbord, like the show dashboard widget :) See in System Settings [22:19] I set it to ctl+d, but when I press ctl+d, nothing happens [22:21] KDesk: I see your point now--Thanks@! [22:21] rosco_y: look in System Settings under Keyboard and mouse, then in Global Keyboard Shortcuts [22:21] sheesh, I'm fluent in typo, dunno where that '@' came from [22:21] rosco_y: hehe, then under Plasma Workspace [22:22] Thanks again KDesk: mission accomplished! [22:22] or use ctrl+F10 or so [22:22] rosco_y: nop, Ctrl+F8 to see all workspaces [22:25] robin0800: but I think that the fluendo codec is only use full to use because of the patents thing, don;t think that thw quallity can be better, but I don't know. Also the codec is released under the MIT license [22:25] OMG Just played with bespin. I can only say WOW [22:27] KDesk: try and see I suggest play same file in Rhythmbox and Songbird [22:27] robin0800: hmm, have to install 1000s of gnomish fils..

[23:13] Kasm279: I've used opera since 1994, they've done really a good job, it has been the fastest since, is not really new [23:13] and isn't really special to 10.5 either [23:14] well [23:14] 10.50 is faster than 10.1 [23:15] heh [23:15] i am always grabbing the alphas and betas for opera [23:15] I was there just yesterday, I didn't see it in the *nix downloads [23:15] because they are mostly stable [23:15] for nix and Mac its still in alpha [23:15] k [23:15] only windows has it in beta form [23:16] I may get it when it comes out at least in beta2, and yeah, I do betas with them too, usually beta2 or more, they're stable enough [23:16] root@karmic-9:/home/sledge# gedit /etc/fstab [23:16] No protocol specified [23:16] (gedit:2447): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [23:16] root@karmic-9:/home/sledge# [23:16] sledge: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I have to hold the power button down to restart it. This happens no matter what the computer is set to do when it the lid is shut. so far I've tried the nomodeset kernel option and installing linux-backport-modules. [23:17] I have tried to push download and save link as too [23:18] anyone to help me [23:18] Reading state information... Done [23:18] E: Couldn't find package proftpd [23:18] jschall: dont buy dell >.< [23:18] donvito: it would be helpful to tell us what you are doing [23:18] donvito, you might try installing the proftpd package. [23:19] Kasm279: i didn't. [23:19] oic [23:19] yes [23:19] im trying to install that package [23:19] and it wont get it [23:20] !proftpd [23:20] (no bot?) [23:20] hehe [23:20] binarylooks: apt-get not working for you? sudo apt-cache search proftpd [23:21] or what is the file that kde looks to for a general theme like the one under setting colors scheme [23:21] donvito: try proftpd-basic [23:22] niblz: what doyou mean? the themes files? or the configuration for the current theme? [23:22] ok [23:22] Typos_King: try appling this theme http://www.kde-look.org/content/download.php?content=116326&id=1&tan=37949338&PHPSESSID=19d8574d08d421935528c4618b695808 [23:22] donvito: check in apt-cache search if it's in the repos [23:23] Typos_King: sorry here http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Monochrome?content=116326 [23:23] hehh [23:24] niblz: scifi ftw [23:25] niblz: I could be mistaken, I think I did have that theme before, and I think is a Bespin file, meaning you need to install the Bespin package, which is a themer for kde4 and uses .bespin files [23:25] bespin is in the repository [23:25] hey good evening [23:27] allo [23:32] Typos_King: kde4 bespin or kwin one [23:33] kde4 bespin [23:33] check the extension of the theme file you get, it'd have a .bespin extension [23:34] you can also do your own tweaking with Bespin, is an executable package, 'bespin' and you can custom some parts of the loaded theme [23:36] Typos_King: I only see download.php no matter what way I try to save it [23:37] ... [23:37] well.... dow...h. [23:40] Typos_King: what do you mean [23:40] checking the url [23:42] based on the url the filename http://www.kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/116326-Megabaks.colors is -> 116326-Megabaks.colors [23:42] Typos_King: try downloading [23:42] I did [23:42] but I don'thave kde4 on this box [23:43] Typos_King: figured out [23:43] thanks anyway [23:44] ubuntu-one lucid anybody?
