| Logomachist | I don't have sound either, but I attribute that to my running one of the open source flash plugins. | 02:48 |

| a32 | hiyah | 05:47 |
| trennor | I need some help please. | 05:47 |
| a32 | choose for me: C or C++ | 05:52 |
| trennor | how do I turn off xterm or get into runlevel 3 without an xterminal starting up?! | 05:52 |
| trennor | please!!!! | 05:53 |
| trennor | how do I turn off xterm or get into runlevel 3 without an xterminal starting up?! | 05:54 |
| ericG | can you use ctrl alt f1 to switch to a different virtual terminal trennor? | 05:56 |
| trennor | yes | 05:57 |
| trennor | I'm trying to install an Nvidia driver ... there cannot be an Xterm running on the system during the install. | 05:58 |
| trennor | however, no matter how I try it, I'm either in too low a runlevel or the gui starts up. | 05:58 |
| trennor | I'm VERY frustrated right now. | 05:59 |
| trennor | all I need is gui-free runlevel 3 for five minutes. how do I get that?! | 05:59 |
| ericG | can you use "telinit 3" in the other terminal to switch to run level 3? | 05:59 |
| trennor | telinit? okay, I was trying to use "init 3" | 05:59 |
| ericG | probably would need to do sudo telinit 3... | 06:00 |
| trennor | awesome! I hope this works! | 06:00 |
| ericG | its been forever since i've had to switch runlevels | 06:00 |
| trennor | I'll be back if it doesn't work | 06:00 |
| ericG | good luck | 06:00 |
| trennor | thank-you Eric | 06:00 |
| trennor | didn't do bugger all | 06:01 |
| trennor | all I got back was my prompt again | 06:01 |
| ericG | sorry trennor | 06:01 |
| trennor | <sigh> | 06:01 |
| ericG | does the automatic nvidia installer not work for you? | 06:01 |
| trennor | there IS one? where? all I got was the one off the nvidia site | 06:02 |
| ericG | there is a restricted driver manager | 06:02 |
| trennor | that won't run no matter what I do | 06:02 |
| ericG | i'm not on my kubuntu machine so i can't look it up..it should appear if you start typing "restricted" into the kicker menu | 06:03 |
| trennor | kicker menu ..... | 06:03 |
| ericG | the k button | 06:03 |
| trennor | going to a web search | 06:03 |
| ericG | the Kickoff Application Launcher | 06:03 |
| trennor | it wants to do a web search | 06:04 |
| ericG | hmm | 06:04 |
| ericG | are you on kubuntu 9.10? | 06:04 |
| trennor | no, 9.04 | 06:04 |
| ericG | ah, well it should still have the restricted hardware manager | 06:05 |
| trennor | <shrug> | 06:05 |
| ericG | in the kickoff menu type in hardware | 06:06 |
| ericG | its under Hardware Drivers | 06:06 |
| trennor | I have hardware driver up | 06:06 |
| trennor | when I hit "activate" nothing happens | 06:06 |
| ericG | oh i see | 06:06 |
| trennor | wait .... something is now | 06:06 |
| ericG | does it list some drivers ? | 06:06 |
| trennor | yes.... omg it's actually doing it | 06:07 |
| ericG | my desktop machine lists 3 different nvidia drivers; clicking on one and selecting "activate" installs it | 06:07 |
| trennor | downloading and running ver 180 I think | 06:08 |
| trennor | okay..... it wants a restart .... thanks Eric... I think we got it. | 06:08 |
| trennor | it wouldn't do it before though!! don't ask me why | 06:08 |
| ericG | no problem, hope everything works | 06:08 |
| trennor | so do I .... thanks again | 06:09 |

| mefisto__ | boesmans: you may be thinking of wine | 15:22 |
| mefisto__ | !wine | 15:22 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 15:22 |
| boesmans | oh ye i am -_- well what is gnome then? ^^ | 15:24 |
| mefisto__ | !gnome | 15:24 |
| ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 15:24 |
| Galvatron | After upgrading KDE from 4.3.5 to 4.4.1 I get a plasma crash right after loading desktop and I'm left with black screen, cyrsor and Kadu window. All I can do is switching to terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and rebbot. Now I'm writing from LXDE. | 15:25 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: kubuntu uses KDE rather than gnome for desktop environment | 15:25 |
| ezro | Can someone help me? I restarted my comp and now I can't log onto x server. | 15:26 |
| ezro | I tried restarting KDM from the terminal | 15:26 |
| ezro | But it won't work. | 15:26 |
| ezro | The screen flashes then goes back to terminal. | 15:26 |
| boesmans | Oh ok mefisto__ . Well what media player do you recommend then? I don't rly care as long as it's a good/quick one | 15:27 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: the default in kubuntu/KDE is amarok. it's really good, but maybe not that quick, depending on your hardware | 15:28 |
| ezro | Can someone help please? lol | 15:28 |
| ezro | I need to get onto my comp, but I'm starting at the terminal. | 15:29 |
| boesmans | No probs with my hardware mefisto__got 4gig ram/core 2duo but i didn't like amarok tbh | 15:29 |
| zeko | hi, guys where do i disable the startup programs, cause i have installed LMMS and it always pops up at startup. | 15:30 |
| mefisto__ | ezro: try startx | 15:33 |
| ericG | zeko: system settings -> advanced tab -> Service Manager | 15:33 |
| ezro | Little too late for that. | 15:34 |
| ezro | Got my windows 7 cd booting as we speak. | 15:34 |
| boesmans | so mefisto__ any others media players? Or do you know how to add songs :) | 15:34 |
| ericG | if its not there zeko you could see if there is a symlink to it in ~/.kde4/Autostart | 15:34 |
| zeko | ericG: its not in system settings, will try the other one | 15:35 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: add songs in amarok? | 15:35 |
| boesmans | no mefisto__ , in sonata ;) or any other media player because i didn't like amarok, that's why i installed sonata | 15:35 |
| zeko | ericG: no files in ~/.kde/Autostart, no kde4 folder in my home directory | 15:37 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: someone in #ubuntu channel may know about sonata, since it's a gnome app | 15:37 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: btw, what do you not like about amarok? | 15:37 |
| ericG | sorry zeko, i don't know where else to have you look =\ | 15:38 |
| boesmans | mefisto__: the layout.. might sound stupid but ye :) | 15:38 |
| zeko | ericG: ok, i am gonna search in the forums now :) | 15:38 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: fair enough. but you do know that the layout of the 3 main panels can be rearranged? | 15:41 |
| boesmans | not just that mefisto__ , dunno why when I was using it it kept crashing | 15:41 |
| slow-motion | hi | 15:48 |
| boesmans | mefisto__: I'm trying amarok once again but it asks me passw for the KDE wallet.. When i type my admin passw it's not the same. i can't remember i ever put someone in, so how can i retrieve it? | 15:52 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: I think if you ignore kde wallet (click the cancel button?) amarok should still work. I find kwallet annoying so I've disabled it completely | 15:54 |
| boesmans | well what is it for mefisto__ :p can't understand it's purpose tbh | 15:55 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: you could also create a new wallet and password in systemsettings, advanced tab | 15:56 |
| mefisto__ | boesmans: it stores your passwords in encrypted form so you don't have to remember them all, just one password when kwallet starts. but I don't find it that useful | 15:57 |
| sometux | nice work kubuntu go forward! | 15:58 |
| sometux | if i installed compiz, will it run on startup? | 16:00 |
| ac_ | hi i have problem , i user kubuntu 9.10 , and i install fluxbox , when i run it from the kdm session it could n`t run , i try to run it from console and i have this error ( xmodmap: unable to open display , Error: couldn`t connect to xserver | 16:01 |

| ac_ | i will try and did`t run | 16:02 |
| Ites | hi mefisto__, sry I had to leave.. I wasn't able to type ANYTHING at all. Not in konvers, not in kopete.. any idea how this would come? I had that last time i was on kubuntu also, and i could only type in facebook chat | 16:02 |
| sometux | Kubuntu rocks! | 16:03 |
| ac_ | lol | 16:03 |
| sometux | hi mefisto , so your the boss here! | 16:04 |
| Buthapest | Hi guys! I'm "new" to KDE and i just switched from Gnome to KDE, Is there anyway to get KDE 3.5 in Ubuntu 9.10?...I cant stand the newer KDE | 16:05 |
| mefisto__ | not me, sometux | 16:05 |
| Peace- | Buthapest: go back to gnome | 16:05 |
| Peace- | Buthapest: kde4 is much more betterthan kde3 | 16:05 |
| Peace- | . | 16:05 |
| Buthapest | Peace-: ok | 16:05 |
| Peace- | old kde user here. | 16:05 |
| Buthapest | Peace-: Think I will go back to gnome | 16:06 |
| sometux | I agree with you Buthapest | 16:06 |
| Buthapest | when I got Kubuntu 8.04 I was so happy, but after that everything went downhill for KDE imo | 16:07 |
| sometux | is it planned that compiz be run on startup or its left for the user to do it? | 16:07 |
| ericG | sometux: kde uses kwin and the compositing effects are disabled by default. you can turn them on in system settings -> desktop | 16:08 |
| ericG | sometux: or press shift + alt + f12. | 16:08 |
| sometux | but still you can install compiz , right? | 16:09 |
| Peace- | Buthapest: that is your opinion ... | 16:09 |
| Ites | so does anyone know why i was not able to type anything at all anymore please? | 16:09 |
| Buthapest | Peace-: yes it is but it's also your opinion that kde4 is better than kde3 | 16:09 |
| Peace- | so... | 16:09 |
| Peace- | what's the point to saying your opinion on official channel (only support is allowed for opinion #kubuntu-offtopic | 16:10 |
| Buthapest | nothing, just that I dont feel comfortable anymore | 16:11 |
| Peace- | Buthapest: it's only because you don't know that is | 16:11 |
| Peace- | i think people like that should use gnome | 16:11 |
| Buthapest | lol? | 16:11 |
| Peace- | kde4 = improving stuff | 16:12 |
| Peace- | improving = changes | 16:12 |
| Peace- | changes = people like you don't like kde | 16:12 |
| dmatt | Buthapest: you can set kde4 to be very kde3 like... | 16:12 |
| Peace- | = people like that shoudl use gnome | 16:12 |
| Buthapest | dmatt: okey | 16:13 |
| dmatt | old style menu, icons and files on desktop... | 16:13 |
| mefisto__ | Buthapest: http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/install.html | 16:13 |
| Buthapest | mefisto__: thank you | 16:13 |
| sometux | any one tried kde 4.4? | 16:14 |
| mefisto__ | don't know how well it works, but there's a forum post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963695 | 16:14 |

| dmatt | knotify is crashing for me all the time, I installed 4.4 over 4.3.5 and after some play with .kde folder and updates it went wrong :( | 16:15 |
| Peace- | well kde4.4 is on backport repository | 16:15 |
| sometux | is it faster? | 16:15 |
| ac_ | hi i have problem , i user kubuntu 9.10 , and i install fluxbox , when i run it from the kdm session it could n`t run , i try to run it from console and i have this error ( xmodmap: unable to open display , Error: couldn`t connect to xserver | 16:15 |

| lynxgeeknyc | can someone help me out? i'm kinda stuck in setting up SSH | 17:04 |

| lynxgeeknyc | ohhh | 17:05 |
| lynxgeeknyc | i will try | 17:05 |
| lynxgeeknyc | haha like two people there an no one answering | 17:06 |
| raindog | lynxgeeknyc: What are you stuck on? | 17:07 |
| lynxgeeknyc | i installed SSH and I know that supposidly it's on but when I try to connect to it it wont | 17:07 |
| basajaun | dmatt I am aware of that hence my desire to find a solution since music programs will look for music on a drive which has changed name.... | 17:07 |
| lynxgeeknyc | I even set my router for port 22 and port 1 redirection | 17:08 |
| raindog | Are you trying to connect to your ssh server from outside your local network? | 17:09 |
| lynxgeeknyc | outside | 17:09 |
| lynxgeeknyc | that is the key | 17:09 |
| lynxgeeknyc | :-p | 17:09 |
| raindog | yep | 17:09 |
| raindog | look in the config, you'll find it. | 17:09 |
| lynxgeeknyc | it's bad enough that my host blocked port 80 on me lol | 17:09 |
| lynxgeeknyc | 80 and 8080 | 17:10 |
| dmatt | basajaun: what exactly are you trying to do? | 17:12 |
| dmatt | lynxgeeknyc: usually it is because you do not exact rights for files and folders, which ssh needs... try to google it | 17:15 |
| basajaun | dmatt I have my music collection on an external ntfs usb storage drive , which gets mounted on boot and assigned a name currently sdc... so if a music program scan s the drive and buids a library the path will point to scd but on reboot the drive will be assigned another label so the music application won find music unless you rescan every time in the case of a large collection its a pain so... | 17:18 |
| basajaun | ...what I want is the drive to get a permanent address dmatt | 17:18 |
| dmatt | basajaun: isn't it always sdc? I can imagine putting in on network and access it through samba | 17:19 |

| ubuntu___ | hey anyone around atm? | 21:55 |
| ubuntu___ | hi all im new to Linux and am not sure what to use either Ubuntu or Kubuntu.... what do you guys suggest? | 21:56 |
| mefisto__ | this is the kubuntu channel, so I guess most would say kubuntu | 21:57 |
| ubuntu___ | oh ok ;) - What do you think performs better Ubuntu or Kubutntu? - Or have you only used Kubuntu? | 21:58 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu___: you could install both and decide which you prefer, or just switch from one to the other | 21:58 |
| ubuntu___ | ok thank you very much :) | 21:59 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu___: they're about the same performance-wise. | 21:59 |
| ubuntu___ | thanks :) | 21:59 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu___: the choice you're making is gnome desktop vs kde desktop. look for screenshots or youtube demos and see what looks more inviting | 22:00 |
| Peter_ | Hi all | 22:06 |
| Peter_ | I have really odd pixel corruption on the edges (left and bottom) of my plasmoids, any ideas on how to debug this? | 22:08 |
| Daskreech | Peter_: on all the plasmoids? | 22:11 |
| Peter_ | Yes, in the task bar as well | 22:11 |
| Peter_ | well some of the sometimes gets a pass, like the cartoon viewer sometimes looks as it should | 22:12 |
| Peter_ | *them | 22:12 |
| mefisto__ | compositing on? | 22:13 |
| Peter_ | Same with or wothout | 22:14 |
| Peter_ | but with compositing on I sometimes get hard locks, so Im guessing is a gfx driver thingy. Its a t60 laptop (love the lappy) with what I think is a x1300 card | 22:15 |
| Daskreech | Peter_: Check in #plasma and #kwin | 22:16 |
| Peter_ | will do thanks, I think kwin is my target | 22:16 |
| mefisto__ | Peter_: lshw -c display will tell you what video hardware you have | 22:17 |
| Peter_ | Thanks for that nugget mefisto | 22:17 |
| Peter_ | is lshw anything like list hardware ? =) | 22:17 |
| mefisto__ | yep | 22:18 |
| Peter_ | gotta love this game were playing =) | 22:18 |
| Daskreech | Solid really needs a easy pretty page of all your computer | 22:18 |
| Tm_T | Daskreech: kinfocenter? | 22:19 |
| Peter_ | The program 'kinfocenter' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 22:19 |
| Peter_ | sudo apt-get install kinfocenter | 22:19 |
| Peter_ | kinfocenter: command not found | 22:19 |
| Peter_ | kinfocenter misses to state my gfx hw | 22:24 |
| mefisto__ | kinfocenter gives me nothing at all! | 22:24 |

| Daskreech | Peter_: http://imagebin.ca/view/nlwI5BT.html | 22:30 |
| Peter_ | Daskreech: My 9.10 microBlog would have a very oddlooking right edge | 22:31 |
| mefisto__ | Daskreech: that's what I got, but after running kbuildsycoca4 and restarting kinfocenter, things were better | 22:32 |
| Peter_ | But my infocenter actually had entries =) | 22:32 |
| Peter_ | what does kbuildsycoca4 do? | 22:32 |
| Daskreech | It Builds sycoca :) | 22:33 |
| Daskreech | That's informative but not "easy" | 22:33 |
| Daskreech | lshw -html > Mycomp.html is better than that | 22:33 |
| Peter_ | No manual entry for syscoca | 22:33 |
| Tm_T | Daskreech: I agree, most of the time | 22:33 |
| Daskreech | Tm_T: Most? | 22:34 |
| mefisto__ | it (re)builds system configuration cache | 22:34 |
| Daskreech | Tm_T: When do you stop agreeing? | 22:38 |
| Peter_ | Daskr: < 50% of the time | 22:39 |
| Daskreech | Peter_: lol | 22:39 |
| Daskreech | fine Why would be a greater attempt at a question | 22:40 |
| Tm_T | Daskreech: I mean "...is better than that" yes, most of the time | 22:40 |
| Daskreech | Tm_T: Right I got that :) I meant when is kinfocenter better? | 22:41 |
| Tm_T | Daskreech: depends on what you like, it doesn't show what your kde session gets, for example | 22:42 |
| Daskreech | Hmm Right but that has nothing to do with Solid | 22:42 |
| Tm_T | true | 22:43 |
| Peter_ | This was one of those > 50% times | 22:43 |
| * Tm_T shuts up and goes to sleep (; | 22:44 | |
| Daskreech | Solid should have a Technical mode and a hi I hate computers but need e-mail outputs | 22:44 |
| Peter_ | I get my emails served by an exchange server, with pretty much adds up to I dont get my emails server | 22:45 |
| Peter_ | *served | 22:45 |
| Peter_ | Is that a know issue with kmail or is it a known issue with exchange? | 22:46 |
| Daskreech | Kmail | 22:46 |
| Daskreech | Look at OPenChange | 22:46 |
| Peter_ | Im not doing their odd mail protocol, Im doing old school 821/822 | 22:47 |
| mefisto__ | Peter_: btw my video hw is listed in OpenGL section of kinfocenter | 22:48 |
| Peter_ | openchange isnt reliable for the 2007? exchange server it seems too, for me. and the caveats of dont do this, you might lose all your mail really doesnt work for me | 22:48 |
| Peter_ | Yep I just noticed. but lshw -c display was kinda to the point | 22:49 |
| mefisto__ | each plasma widget has a place to set a keyboard shortcut. what does that shortcut trigger? | 22:57 |
| Daskreech | mefisto__: Depends on the plasmoid. Might be nothign | 23:01 |
| rubasub | hello, any kubuntu whizz people here? | 23:01 |
| rubasub | does anyone know anything about moving files to partitions which tell you you have no permission to do so??? | 23:02 |
| mefisto__ | Daskreech: every plasmoid I've tried, it seems to do nothing. but every plasmoid has a place to set a shortcut. it's been bugging me for a while now | 23:02 |
| stackhouse | How do you change your hostname on Kubuntu? | 23:03 |
| Daskreech | mefisto__: Tehre are a few that use it but since I run without plasma most of the time I'm kinda at a loss as to which use it now | 23:04 |
| mefisto__ | Daskreech: I take it all back :) I just set one for device notifier, and it pops up the widget just like clicking the icon | 23:04 |
| Daskreech | mefisto__: Ah right that was one of them :) | 23:05 |
| rubasub | hi does anyone know how to change the permissions on a new partition...I can't sort it :-( | 23:06 |
| mefisto__ | stackhouse: edit /etc/hostname | 23:07 |
| stackhouse | No way to do it through the GUI? | 23:07 |
| Daskreech | rubasub: huh? | 23:10 |
| Daskreech | Partitions don't have permissions | 23:10 |
| rubasub | Hi Daskreech I was tying to move a file onto a new partition and failing...just managed it with mc | 23:12 |
| Daskreech | rubasub: oh you mean a newly mounted partition? | 23:12 |
| Daskreech | Mount it with a umaskoption | 23:13 |
| rubasub | Daskreech I'd mounted it using Mountmanager but couldn't copy things to it...is umaskoption a command? | 23:14 |
| mefisto__ | rubasub: umask is a mount option. you can see the options in mountmanager by turning on "show default options" | 23:21 |
| rubasub | ok thanks mefisto it's all abit of a stretch lol | 23:22 |
| mefisto__ | rubasub: what type of partition is it? | 23:22 |
| rubasub | sda | 23:23 |
| rubasub | ext3 | 23:23 |
| rubasub | mefisto it's mounted but I had to su and open mc before I could move anything to it and it seemed a bit much | 23:24 |
| mefisto__ | rubasub: in mountmanager, what do you have for "what users can do at this partition"? Read and write? or just read? | 23:25 |
| rubasub | mefisto: I'd changed it to read and write | 23:26 |
| rubasub | and clicked apply | 23:27 |
| === Ites is now known as Ites|sleep | ||
| Ites|sleep | nn all :w | 23:29 |
| mefisto__ | rubasub: well assuming mountmanager does what it's supposed to, you'll probably have to unmount and mount it for new settings to take effect | 23:29 |
| rubasub | ok thanks | 23:30 |
| mefisto__ | rubasub: the info is written to the file /etc/fstab if you want to check. the line with the partition should have rw somewhere and not ro | 23:31 |
| rubasub | Mefisto: yeah I noticed something like that in a pop up window during the mountmanager settings so I should check! | 23:32 |
| Daskreech | rubasub: it gets applied on mount so unmount and remount | 23:34 |
| mefisto__ | rubasub: also, the files you copied as root will now be owned by root rather than your normal user, so you won't be able to edit them or delete them unless you become root, or change the file's ownership | 23:34 |
| mefisto__ | rubasub: at least that's how I think it works | 23:35 |
| rubasub | Mefisto: your right...it gets complicated | 23:35 |
| Daskreech | mefisto__: correct | 23:35 |
| Daskreech | rubasub: mount it with user read write options to uncomplicate things :) | 23:35 |
| rubasub | Daskreech...I'll try | 23:36 |
| nightrid3r | just did a clean install of kubuntu netbook and can't get my usb 3G modem working | 23:52 |
