| shamwow | BluesKaj, i have KpackageKit and it doesn't find the file I put in | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, enable all your sources in kpackagekit | 00:05 |
| shamwow | ok did that | 00:07 |
| shamwow | still can't find the file | 00:08 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, now we"re going to use the kpkge version of wicd , so type wicd in the searchbar | 00:08 |
| shamwow | nothing | 00:10 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | then you haven't enabled all the repositories /sources | 00:12 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | !repositories | 00:12 |
| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 00:12 |
| alesan | hi what is an automatic backup system | 00:24 |
| alesan | somethng that when I go at the office it connects to a server and copies all my shit there | 00:24 |
| alesan | well, does a "smart" copy, not everything everytime | 00:24 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | !language | alesan | 00:25 |
| ubottu | alesan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:25 |
| alesan | but I do not need archives, only last version, in case my laptop breaks/gets stolen etc | 00:25 |
| alesan | family friendly :) | 00:25 |
| alesan | any suggestion? | 00:25 |
| shamwow | blues, I can not install via pkg because I do not have internet connectivity... i have downloaded the wicd-1.7.0.tar.gz file and copied it to my home folder... from here i extracted it to the wicd-1.7.0 folder | 00:27 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ok, then we open a terminal | 00:28 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, copy the name of the file from properties , and make it executable at the same time | 00:31 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wicd that is | 00:31 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ,shamwow, does the name of the file look like this, wicd-1.7.0.tar.bz2 / | 00:34 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow , we need to know exactly where the wicd file is located so we can extract and install it . | 00:41 |

| huston | where is a good tutorial on the broadcom wireless cards... one for dumbies..... | 00:44 |
| Typos_King | tutorial for a broadcomm card? hehe | 00:44 |
| Typos_King | huston: are you trying to make one? is that it :P | 00:45 |
| huston | nope have one in this laptop | 00:45 |
| Typos_King | and you need blueprints of circuitry | 00:45 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | most broadcoms are supported huston | 00:45 |
| Typos_King | soooooo | 00:45 |
| huston | and I can't get it to vunction | 00:45 |
| huston | function | 00:45 |
| Typos_King | huston: what.... kubuntu version are you using? | 00:45 |
| huston | 9.10 | 00:45 |
| Typos_King | ... gimme one sec | 00:45 |
| huston | alright | 00:46 |
| huston | I have the b43-fwcutter installed | 00:47 |
| huston | I am getting tired of have a usb wireless device sticking out of the side of my laptop | 00:47 |
| Typos_King | heh | 00:48 |
| huston | I found the page on the b43, and the b43 legacy | 00:49 |
| huston | and I must be missing something | 00:49 |
| huston | something simple probably | 00:50 |
| Typos_King | ... gimme one sec | 00:51 |
| huston | okay | 00:51 |
| orpras | Can anyone tell me how to get ubuntuone to connect in kubuntu? | 00:53 |
| orpras | It installs and I can see the icon but it doesn't connect, I have found no solution using google. | 00:54 |
| Typos_King | huston: http://imsky.org/t/10660543024.html | 00:55 |
| Jaimie | anyone know a good config to run rde4 on a slower machine a little more smoothly? | 00:55 |
| Typos_King | sorry it took me a bit heheh | 00:55 |
| Typos_King | Jaimie: .... how slow of a cpu? | 00:56 |
| |sysop| | I am running it pretty well on a ppc 1.2ghz | 00:56 |
| huston | thanks | 00:56 |
| huston | I am going to go give it a try | 00:57 |
| |sysop| | just turn off all desktop effects | 00:57 |
| |sysop| | thats the way I would run it on my eee pc | 00:57 |
| Typos_King | huston: 9.1 comes with the driver, the firmware however is excluded from it due to license issues, thus, all that does is add it | 00:57 |
| huston | okay | 00:58 |
| orpras | Fixed it, had to install gnome keyring | 00:59 |
| Jaimie | 800mhz | 00:59 |
| Typos_King | the wha? | 00:59 |
| Jaimie | eeepc 901a | 00:59 |
| Typos_King | Jaime .... well, turn off all effects.... or run another lighter window manager | 01:00 |
| Typos_King | something like openbox or fluxbox | 01:00 |
| |sysop| | kde4 with all the effects runs ok on a eee | 01:01 |
| Typos_King | on a pIII? | 01:01 |
| |sysop| | although it wouldnt hurt to overlock your eee. | 01:01 |
| Jaimie | i had it @ 900 | 01:02 |
| Jaimie | didnt see the difference | 01:02 |
| |sysop| | but I had 1 gig of ram. | 01:02 |
| Jaimie | i also have 1G | 01:02 |
| Typos_King | .... and how much in the videocard? 16mbs? | 01:02 |
| Zeelot3k | does anyone know of a file browser that lets me double click to expand a folder instead of moving into it? any file browser with that option would be great | 01:02 |
| |sysop| | is it slow for you? admititedly I ram 9.04 on it. I havent run a recent release on it. | 01:02 |
| Jaimie | just feels a little sliggy when i compare it to gnome or xfce | 01:02 |
| Jaimie | sluggy* | 01:02 |
| Typos_King | Zeelot3k: konqueror can do that, in 'tree' mode | 01:03 |
| |sysop| | I will upgrade my eee and check it out next time I am off. I need to reload my other laptop anyway. | 01:03 |
| Zeelot3k | Typos_King: it still moves in when I double click though | 01:03 |
| Typos_King | Jaime kde wm, has I think more effects than gnome or xfce.... use a lighter manager, I do :) | 01:03 |
| huston | going to go try it out | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | Zeelot3k: moves? where? to the right expanded? | 01:04 |
| huston | I followed the page | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | k | 01:04 |
| huston | lets see what happens | 01:04 |
| huston | thanks again | 01:04 |
| huston | time to restart | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | heheh | 01:04 |
| huston | I will let you know | 01:04 |
| Zeelot3k | Typos_King: it goes into the dir instead of expanding it | 01:04 |
| |sysop| | Jaimie, try 9.04 on it. its old but generally works ok. | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | huston this isn't twitter you know :P | 01:04 |
| Jaimie | i'll look into it sysop | 01:04 |
| huston | alright | 01:05 |
| Typos_King | Zeelot3k: it doesn't in the 'tree' mode | 01:05 |
| pulaski | Hi, I'm running karmic koala and I'm following instructions to set up various multimedia functions. To do so I have to enable the Multiverse and Universe repositories. I've found instructions to do so for Hardy. May I simply substitue the name karmic for hardy in the lines I need to add to sources.list? | 01:05 |
| Zeelot3k | Typos_King: how do you set it to tree mode? I see no such thing | 01:05 |
| Typos_King | zeelot: konqueror has about..... 3 different view modes | 01:05 |
| Zeelot3k | yes none of them are called tree | 01:05 |
| Zeelot3k | I am in details mode | 01:05 |
| Zeelot3k | which shows the + sign | 01:05 |
| Typos_King | Zeelot3k: Settings > load view profile > file management | 01:06 |
| Typos_King | right... the click the + to expand, without going in it | 01:07 |
| Zeelot3k | that's my question lol, I want a file manager or an option to make the double click act like the + click | 01:07 |
| Typos_King | ... | 01:08 |
| pulaski | never mind, | 01:09 |
| Zeelot3k | thunar kinda does it | 01:09 |
| Zeelot3k | not very well | 01:09 |
| huston | is there another step? | 01:09 |
| Typos_King | Zeelot3k: I use/prefer Krusader.... it has a 'tree' pane and another pane for the files in the folder selected in the tree pane, it allows single-click on any folder with click to expand, and double-click to show its files on the 'files' pane | 01:09 |
| Typos_King | not sure if that helps | 01:10 |
| Zeelot3k | yea that's also decent | 01:10 |
| Zeelot3k | I would like the files listed in the tree pane though =( | 01:10 |
| Typos_King | huston: no..... whatever happened? | 01:10 |
| huston | nothing | 01:10 |
| Zeelot3k | I don't want 2 panes =( | 01:10 |
| Typos_King | huston: and how do you know is broadcomm? have you checked in 'lspci'? | 01:10 |
| huston | it created a folder in the directory | 01:10 |
| Typos_King | heh | 01:10 |
| huston | and that is it | 01:10 |
| huston | yep | 01:10 |
| huston | I did the lspci | 01:11 |
| Typos_King | and its broadcomm? | 01:11 |
| huston | 4318 | 01:11 |
| huston | yep | 01:11 |
| huston | says it is supported | 01:11 |
| Typos_King | right | 01:11 |
| lynxgeeknyc | hello people | 01:11 |
| Typos_King | can you paste a dump of lspci? | 01:11 |
| huston | sure | 01:11 |
| lynxgeeknyc | does anyone know a good prog for linux where I can install another Linux like a virtual machine? | 01:11 |
| huston | I will paste the part for the broadcom | 01:11 |
| |sysop| | qemu? | 01:12 |
| lynxgeeknyc | gemu? | 01:12 |
| Typos_King | vbox? | 01:12 |
| Typos_King | I'd think virtualbox will do | 01:13 |
| huston | you want it private or here | 01:13 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow , di you try to follow the instructions in mthe "install" text file located in the wicd folder ? | 01:13 |
| Ginglymostoma | where is kde's disk-space-usage-viewer? | 01:13 |
| Typos_King | huston: hehhe, on a pastebin, like pastebin.com | 01:13 |
| huston | Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) | 01:14 |

| huston | Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 | 01:14 |
| Typos_King | huston: go to a console.... and type -> iwconfig <-- does it show any interface for it? | 01:14 |
| |sysop| | how can I see what agp speed xwindows is running my card at | 01:15 |
| |sysop| | ? | 01:15 |
| huston | all I get is my usb device | 01:15 |
| huston | I know it works | 01:16 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | Ginglymostoma, sudo fdisk -l | 01:17 |
| huston | I have three wireless cards and they are all broadcoms | 01:17 |
| Typos_King | huston how do you know it isn't working, the drivers aren't loading? | 01:17 |
| Zeelot3k | Typos_King: neither side seems to have + signs next to directories in Krusader... | 01:17 |
| Zeelot3k | how did you set that? | 01:18 |
| huston | well the other os that this had it worked with it | 01:18 |
| huston | I can replace it though | 01:18 |
| huston | let me go look through my stack of cards | 01:19 |
| aiur | huston: did you try jockey-kde? | 01:20 |
| Typos_King | Zeelot3k: http://imgur.com/vI4Ww.png <--- is how mine looks like with it open | 01:21 |
| Typos_King | huston: you mean is a pcmcia? | 01:22 |
| Zeelot3k | how did you get that bottom right one Typos_King? | 01:22 |
| Zeelot3k | oh I see! | 01:22 |
| Zeelot3k | ok thanks! | 01:22 |
| Typos_King | Zeelot3k: well... that's the tree pane, is where I set it on the layout | 01:22 |
| huston | it is an internal card | 01:34 |
| huston | no but I will try jockey | 01:34 |
| huston | I have a lot of extra parts for laptops and such | 01:34 |
| huston | says I have none | 01:38 |
| huston | maybe I lost this card somewhere | 01:38 |
| nfblack | hello | 02:07 |
| nfblack | list | 02:08 |
| shamwow | bluesKaj-Laptop are you still there? | 02:14 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | yes | 02:14 |
| shamwow | the last thing we were talking about was the name of the file | 02:14 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, wondered what happened | 02:14 |
| shamwow | yeah I have 2 laptops, I have Kubuntu on one and Vista on the other... I had to reboot vista and get it back up and working to continue to chat on here | 02:15 |
| shamwow | the name of my file is wicd-1.7.0.tar.gz | 02:15 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, did you read the "install" text file in the wicd folder? | 02:15 |
| shamwow | affirm | 02:15 |
| shamwow | i thought I did everything as it said | 02:16 |
| shamwow | i don't know how to use the pkg software | 02:16 |
| shamwow | so I skiped that and then worked with the python cmds | 02:16 |
| shamwow | i did everything it said and thought I installed it correctly... when I did the wicd-client cmd i had no success | 02:18 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | the pkg software isn' t necessary right now ...we need to go thru the install procedure as listed in the install text file | 02:18 |
| shamwow | do you have a copy of that text file so that we can walk through it together? | 02:19 |
| shamwow | or I can follow inst pretty well so let me know what to do.. currently i have the file extracted to >Home>wicd-1.7.0 | 02:21 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | yes, open the terminal and , cd wicd-1.7.0 | 02:22 |
| shamwow | chk | 02:22 |
| shamwow | ok there now | 02:22 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ok, sudo python setup.py configure | 02:24 |
| shamwow | done | 02:25 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ok, sudo python setup.py install | 02:25 |
| shamwow | done | 02:26 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | now alt f2 , wicd-client ...it should open | 02:30 |
| shamwow | nothing | 02:30 |
| shamwow | yeah i think that is where I am stuck | 02:36 |
| shamwow | was i suppose to run it with sudo or kdesu before wicd-client??? | 02:36 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, when you entered the commands into terminal was there any output , or did the prompt just pop back ? | 02:37 |
| shamwow | prompt just disappeared | 02:37 |
| shamwow | sorry... | 02:38 |
| shamwow | when i typed the commands in the terminal there was a lot of output | 02:38 |
| shamwow | same as before | 02:38 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ok, you might need to reboot for the init script to take hold | 02:39 |
| shamwow | stby | 02:39 |
| shamwow | ok restarted | 02:40 |
| RedXIII_ | While installing kubuntu I'm getting a lot of "preparing to completel remove" messages from the "installing system" prompt. | 02:40 |
| RedXIII_ | Is this normal? | 02:41 |
| shamwow | i did alt f2 and typed wicd-client and nothing happened except the prompt disappeared | 02:41 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ok open the terminal , sudo wicd-client | 02:42 |
| shamwow | ok i got the following: | 02:42 |
| shamwow | Traceback (most recent call last): File "usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 40, in <module> import gtk | 02:43 |
| shamwow | ImportErro: No module named gtk | 02:43 |
| shamwow | any idea what that means | 02:49 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | are you still at the wicd prompt ? | 02:50 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, this command might clear it up, ./wicd-client.py | 02:52 |
| RedXIII_ | I think its deleting all the packages it installed | 02:54 |
| RedXIII_ | or is it just displaying the wrong message.. | 02:54 |
| shamwow | jus | 02:55 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | RedXIII_, yes it installs tempm files to facilitate installation then removes them when they are replaced with the default files | 02:56 |
| RedXIII_ | Oh I see. I was getting a little worried. | 02:57 |
| shamwow | blues where do i type that at? i am in the original install directory | 02:57 |
| RedXIII_ | thanks ;) | 02:57 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, are you in the terminal at the wicd prompt like before ? | 02:58 |
| shamwow | same one we installed from | 02:58 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ok run ./wicd-client.py | 02:59 |
| shamwow | ./eivf-vlirny.py: no duvh gilr ot fitrvyoty | 03:00 |
| shamwow | sorry | 03:00 |
| shamwow | ./wicd-client.py: no such file or directory | 03:00 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ok try wicd-client.py | 03:01 |
| shamwow | wicd-client.py: command not found | 03:02 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | is there a way to connect the pc with a cable to the internet ? ..we'd have more luck installing from the repositories ..we can update your install first and then install wicd with apt | 03:04 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | !apt | 03:04 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 03:04 |
| RedXIII_ | Jeez its taking a long time to uninstall these packages | 03:05 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, seems you are missing some needed libs and perhaps dependencies | 03:05 |
| RedXIII_ | been sitting at 99% for over 20 minutes. | 03:05 |
| shamwow | ok let me see if I can connect hardline | 03:06 |
| RedXIII_ | seems to have finished :D | 03:06 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | RedXIII_, yes it depends alot on your hardware and which version | 03:07 |
| RedXIII_ | I shouldn't complain. I'm surprised this old ATA drive still even works | 03:07 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | shamwow, good , it would be much easier | 03:07 |
| RedXIII_ | I was even more surprised when my mobo had a connector for it. | 03:08 |
| RedXIII_ | anddd install complete :D | 03:08 |
| shamwow | i connected via hardwire, it said active connection but no luck... i think I am going to hang it up for the night and pick it up tomorrow | 03:10 |
| shamwow | thanks for the update, talk again tomorrow | 03:10 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | RedXIII, ok successful ? | 03:13 |
| RedXIII | Life makes a lot more sense now.. irc.kubuntu.org is a part of freenode isn't it... | 03:14 |
| RedXIII | Where's the setting to bind my windows key to the K thingy in kubuntu? | 03:48 |
| |sysop| | is anyone here familar with screen recycler? | 04:42 |
| |sysop| | on snow leopard | 04:42 |
| |sysop| | how can I set that up with kde4? | 04:42 |
| edgar | hola todos | 05:37 |
| edgar | como estan | 05:37 |
| Dementual | So, uh... sorry if this is a dumb question, but are the KDE 4.4.1 files in the backports not too safe to install? | 05:48 |
| islington | Dementual: as someone who is using those files (I updated using backparts to 4.4) I would say no | 05:50 |
| Dementual | Ahh... 'cause my Plasma stuff keeps crashing. | 05:50 |
| Dementual | Though, what I can see is quite pretty. | 05:51 |
| Dementual | Now if only I could see more of it. | 05:51 |
| islington | Dementual: what kde vesrion are you using? | 05:51 |
| Dementual | 9.10 | 05:51 |
| Dementual | Fresh install | 05:51 |
| netdaemon | yes i found the experience rather incomplete | 05:52 |
| islington | You probably want/should upgrade to 4.4 since its a lot better than 4.3 | 05:52 |
| Dementual | Went to update to KDE 4.4.1 | 05:52 |
| netdaemon | i'm waiting for lucid personally | 05:53 |
| netdaemon | 10.04 | 05:53 |
| Dementual | So there's no way to get fully updated to 4.4.1 in 9.10? | 05:55 |
| netdaemon | i believe there's instructions on kubuntu's main page | 05:56 |
| netdaemon | or news rather: http://www.kubuntu.org/node/135 | 05:56 |
| Dementual | Yus | 05:56 |
| Dementual | That's what I followed to get to this point. | 05:56 |
| islington | Dementual: short version enable backports do a "sudo aptitude update" | 05:59 |
| islington | and a "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" | 05:59 |
| * netdaemon checks for updates on his kubuntu machines | 05:59 | |
| netdaemon | i'v got backports enabled for the 4.3.x series... | 05:59 |
| islington | netdaemon: lol me too | 05:59 |
| netdaemon | things just didn't feel quite right when i went to 4.4.x, probably because some package name changes that didn't carry over from the updates so i figured i'd stick with 4.3 for now | 06:00 |
| Dementual | How would I go about fixing my stuff? | 06:00 |
| Dementual | And possibly going back without reinstalling (again)? | 06:01 |
| islington | delete your .kde folder to fix stuff | 06:01 |
| islington | downgrading will be much harder afaik | 06:01 |
| netdaemon | yes, downgrading not advisable | 06:01 |
| Dementual | Hrm... | 06:02 |
| Dementual | Would I be able to enable backports without it automatically downloading the latest stuff? | 06:02 |
| netdaemon | is 10.04 getting any spiffy new artwork? | 06:03 |
| netdaemon | i mean obviously not the desktop, but say the login manager and bootsplash? | 06:03 |
| Dementual | Looked the same to me. | 06:03 |
| Dementual | Assuming that ever got updated :v | 06:03 |
| islington | Dementual: no you would have to run an update command | 06:04 |
| islington | do me a favor and do alt+f2 and type in knapshot | 06:04 |
| Dementual | Alright. | 06:05 |
| islington | in ksnapshot there is a help button menu | 06:05 |
| islington | hit about KDE | 06:05 |
| islington | what do you see? | 06:05 |
| Dementual | http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9452/snapshot1ig.png | 06:06 |
| islington | k looks like your plasma bugs are probably due to 4.3 settings still being present, go to /home/[user]/ | 06:07 |
| islington | and delete your .kde folder log out then log back in | 06:07 |
| * Dementual nods | 06:07 | |
| islington | to see the .kde folder you might have to hit alt+. in dolphin | 06:08 |
| Dementual | Got it. | 06:09 |
| Dementual | One sec. | 06:09 |
| netdaemon | a rm -rf .kde from Konsole would work too | 06:09 |
| islington | netdaemon: I think 10.04 may get a new logo with the new font being designed and all | 06:11 |
| netdaemon | neat | 06:11 |
| netdaemon | i was hoping kubuntu wouldn't get the short end of the stick again :) | 06:11 |
| netdaemon | so other than that, will it still have the snowflake? | 06:11 |
| islington | other than that I dunno; gnome themes are pretty different from kde ones these days, would make much sense to make kde look like gnome | 06:12 |
| islington | *woulnn't | 06:12 |
| netdaemon | no i would expect not | 06:12 |
| netdaemon | i don't expect them to ever touch the default kde theming except moving some icons around, it's pretty out of the box for the most part | 06:13 |
| netdaemon | gnome on the other hand isn't | 06:13 |
| netdaemon | i was just wondering about the things they do normally theme | 06:13 |
| Dementual | Eh, no. | 06:13 |
| islington | suse got a customized air theme last release | 06:14 |
| islington | Dementual: whats up? | 06:14 |
| Dementual | Deleting .kde didn't help | 06:14 |
| islington | k can you describe the problem? | 06:14 |
| Dementual | Well | 06:14 |
| Dementual | It seems to crash "Plasma Workspace" every startup | 06:14 |
| islington | even the default one?? | 06:15 |
| islington | default setup I mean | 06:15 |
| Dementual | huh? | 06:15 |
| Dementual | like 9.10 fresh install? | 06:15 |
| netdaemon | hm | 06:16 |
| Dementual | fresh install is fine | 06:16 |
| Dementual | just whenever I enable the backports it tries to update to kde 4.4.1 | 06:16 |
| Dementual | which would be cool if it worked, heh | 06:16 |
| islington | I would assume so since .kde deletion did not work. k open a Konsole | 06:16 |
| Dementual | Update thing says I've got 32 blocked updates | 06:16 |
| Dementual | k | 06:16 |
| netdaemon | why are you enabling backports if not to upgrade to 4.4.1? | 06:16 |
| netdaemon | oh | 06:16 |
| islington | he has upped to 4.4 | 06:17 |
| netdaemon | you'll need to dist-upgrade rather than regular upgrade to get those blocked ones | 06:17 |
| islington | yeah that would be it | 06:17 |
| Dementual | Oh? | 06:17 |
| netdaemon | aptitude full-upgrade | 06:17 |
| islington | sudo | 06:17 |
| netdaemon | sudo aptitude full-upgrade rather | 06:17 |
| * Dementual does that | 06:17 | |
| Dementual | Just press y on everything that pops up? | 06:18 |
| islington | yes | 06:18 |
| * netdaemon may poke around kde 4.4.1 on his media box :) | 06:18 | |
| netdaemon | i think i will actually | 06:19 |
| Dementual | careful | 06:19 |
| islington | netdaemon: whatever happened to plasma-mediaplayer? | 06:19 |
| Dementual | i hear it throws out plasma crashes :v | 06:19 |
| netdaemon | i don't have a clue tbh | 06:19 |
| netdaemon | and now we play the waiting game | 06:21 |
| islington | netdaemon: http://alediaferia.wordpress.com/2009/08/08/mediacenter-again/ | 06:22 |
| Dementual | Reboot after full-upgrade? | 06:23 |
| netdaemon | log out and back in | 06:23 |
| netdaemon | install processes on atom machines take a bit longer :( | 06:26 |
| Dementual | Ohey | 06:26 |
| Dementual | <3 | 06:26 |
| islington | yay | 06:26 |
| netdaemon | i guess that worked? | 06:26 |
| netdaemon | awesome beans | 06:26 |
| Dementual | Worked well indeed. | 06:26 |
| Dementual | Also, very very pretty. | 06:26 |
| netdaemon | kde's good for pretty | 06:27 |
| netdaemon | :D | 06:27 |
| islington | also I <3 dolphin | 06:27 |
| netdaemon | though the stability bit was only recentish | 06:27 |
| netdaemon | yes dolphin puts nautilus to shame | 06:27 |
| netdaemon | even OSX finder | 06:27 |
| islington | I found out that a svned folder in dolphin can be updated though gui?! I was like wow | 06:28 |
| Dementual | That's for sure | 06:28 |
| netdaemon | nautilus and finder are practically the same though...as far as interface | 06:28 |
| mint_ | Guts i need help please. How can i revert back this command from a liveCD i can no longer boot up my X server is broken here is the command that i need to revert back to normal---- sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sdb2 | 06:39 |

| avihay | plattdeutscher: Xserver's config file is in /etc/X11/xorg.cfg | 15:01 |
| plattdeutscher | not any more in karmic | 15:01 |
| avihay | but you can go to the machine and use a text tty. | 15:01 |

| arch0njw | alrighty... not helping as much as I hoped. Do you happen to know what kind of card it is? like a 6000 series, or such? | 15:08 |
| plattdeutscher | I just did another "sudo Xorg -configure" and copied the generated file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I still get in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: No valid initial configuration found | 15:10 |
| arch0njw | From what I find based on that device code that is maybe an FX5200 or a Quadro NVS 295 -- either way, I think those use the older nVidia drivers. You might want to fall back to the VESA driver and see if you can get that working to start with. | 15:10 |
| plattdeutscher | Yes, but I don't know how to start with a minimal configuration, now that xorg.conf istignored | 15:11 |
| plattdeutscher | is ignored | 15:11 |
| arch0njw | xorg.conf is definitely not ignored. | 15:12 |

| arch0njw | need to go away for a bit, but can try to help in an hour or so | 15:12 |

| plattdeutscher | ah | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | plattdeutscher, you need to install the nvidia-glx-185.18.36 driver , try doing so from the tty | 15:18 |

| plattdeutscher | yes | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | are you still at the tty ? | 15:32 |
| plattdeutscher | in X I did nvidia-settings - the resolution is correctly found out there | 15:32 |
| plattdeutscher | I went to X just now and did it | 15:32 |
| plattdeutscher | but it looks like a rorture for my IIyama monitor | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | ok, plattdeutscher go back to the tty , sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop , then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 15:34 |

| Vroomfondle | :) | 16:51 |
| \Ahmed | WHat do you mean i should know KDE ? | 16:52 |
| \Ahmed | How exactly | 16:52 |
| arch0njw | When you are in the login screen, there is a "Session" menu from which you can choose what window manager you want to use. You need to select "KDE" from that. | 16:53 |
| \Ahmed | Oh i see :) | 16:53 |
| \Ahmed | Nice explaning | 16:53 |
| \Ahmed | I mean at that login page right ? | 16:53 |

| \Ahmed | Lemme see | 16:56 |
| \Ahmed | SO for netbooks they have other versions ? | 16:56 |
| \Ahmed | RIght ? | 16:56 |
| arch0njw | I think it is a cut down version to make better use of the screen space. It is all about the window manager UI and not about the actual functionality of the software included. | 16:57 |

| [-Haza-] | Hey folks. Im getting this error message when itry do load up open office. "Configuration file "/home/hazamonzo/.kde/share/config/OpenOffice.orgrc" not writable"... Im really worried as i had this sort of erro this morning and when i went to restart the system would not boot. This is not just open odffice though. all my apps are throwing this sort of error.. Any thoughts?? | 17:22 |
| [-Haza-] | For example.. if i hit print-screnn (opening ksnapshot) i get the error: "Configuration file "/home/hazamonzo/.kde/share/config/ksnapshotrc" not writable." | 17:23 |
| [-Haza-] | I thinking there is something wrong with permissions but i haven't chabged anything | 17:24 |
| [-Haza-] | *changed | 17:24 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: It sounds like the ownership on those files may be incorrect. If you open a terminal and use ls -l /home/hazamonzo/.kde/share/config/ksnapshotrc does it list your username in the user and group fields? | 17:24 |
| [-Haza-] | Makes me think one of the hard drives in my striped array is causing probllems. | 17:24 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: Hey there. Let me check | 17:25 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: It does list my name in owner AND group | 17:25 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: hrm. | 17:25 |
| [-Haza-] | -rw------- 1 hazamonzo hazamonzo | 17:25 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: does the output of 'mount' say that the drive that your /home is mounted on is readonly 'ro' or rw? | 17:26 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: Im afraid i cannot see the home directory listed in the output of mount... problem is that my computer is locking up as we speak! | 17:28 |
| [-Haza-] | i can't pastebin the output. And chance i can PM you the 10 lines that mount outputs? | 17:28 |
| Pici | Sure, goa head | 17:28 |
| [-Haza-] | Save me spamming the channel | 17:28 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: Cheers | 17:28 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: Sent the PM by the way :) | 17:30 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: Weird. | 17:33 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: hehe, i was working on another file | 17:33 |
| [-Haza-] | and it does not save anymore | 17:33 |
| [-Haza-] | with this error: | 17:33 |
| [-Haza-] | (Read-only file system) | 17:33 |
| [-Haza-] | Shiiiiiiiiiit | 17:33 |
| FloodBotK1 | [-Haza-]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:33 |
| [-Haza-] | Something terrible is happening | 17:33 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: Oh. wait. I see. It looks like your raid probably had errors and the options say errors=remount-ro | 17:33 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: It does indeed. What do you suggest? | 17:34 |
| [-Haza-] | Im kinda worried in going to lose data here :( | 17:34 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: I'd take this time to backup your data knowing that your permissions are still intact and then deal with the raid issue. | 17:35 |
| [-Haza-] | Right. once ive backed up the system can you maybe point me in the right directionto debug this issue? | 17:35 |
| Pici | I'd tar ther data to an external device | 17:35 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: I don't have a lot of experience working with RAID unforunately. | 17:36 |
| Pici | [-Haza-]: You may want to ask in #ubuntu, as there are a lot more people there and its not really Kubuntu specific at this point. | 17:36 |
| [-Haza-] | Pici: Okay mate. Thank you for all the help! Much appreciated! | 17:39 |

If this time I was to click the "change desktop" button, I am pressing wrong button, because System Tray when resizing moves the Desktops switching widget into left! How can I make the Tray not to change the size? | 18:22 |
| === davie_ is now known as Guest59907 | ||
| arch0njw | human: I got bit by that too. I put the system tray in a different panel to avoid that issue. But, I mostly switch desktops with custom key configs, so that helps too. I think this is just a feature of KDE at this point. | 18:30 |
| simion314 | what application can i use to record something with my microphone? something basic, just recording not editing or something profesional | 18:31 |
| arch0njw | simion314: krecord and audacity come to mind | 18:32 |
| human | arch0njw, thank you, it can be useful | 18:32 |
| arch0njw | human: I have a hiding panel on the lower left that has the system try and trash. I like them available, but out of the way. And this is one of teh major reasons I think KDE is great (not a suck-up comment... really!!!) | 18:33 |

| geminidomino | Ever since Ubuntu went to pulseaudio, I've been having a headache every time I want to use a straight-up "line-in" style mic. I was wondering if you folks familiar with Kubuntu could tell me if using that instead makes it more straightforward than the GNOME sound setup currently in use by Ubuntu Mainline? | 19:22 |

| Ertain | Hello everyone. I'm trying to rewrite the *.desktop file for a screensaver so that it plays a song while the screensaver is running. | 19:53 |
| Ertain | Basically it's a command to allow the screensaver to run while the music is playing. However, I would also like the music to stop when the screensaver stops. | 19:53 |
| Ertain | I can do a simple command like "foo-screensaver & play foo.mp3", but I don't know how to stop "play foo.mp3" after the screensaver has stopped. | 19:54 |
| === napterk_ is now known as napterk | ||
| akamaus | Ertain, try something like $ play foo.mp3 & foo-screensaver ; kill %1 | 19:58 |
| Ertain | I shall try that. Tahnk you akamaus. | 19:58 |

| tim | hi im thinking of getting kubuntu what do you all recon | 20:23 |
| ToraToraTora | Frankly I feel using linux is asking for trouble. if you can't handle the heat, then just keep on using windows. | 20:30 |
| arch0njw | I wouldn't say it's a piece of cake, but it's not that bad. It all depends on what you want to do. | 20:31 |
| arch0njw | If you want to continue using all of your Windows apps, then moving to Linux isn't necessarily the answer (speaking as one who has wrestled with WINE and Crossover). | 20:31 |
| arch0njw | But I use Kubuntu on a daily basis on my personal computer. I boot into WinXP to play -one- game. The only reason I use WinXP daily is for work. | 20:32 |
| RedXIII | Hi I'm having a problem getting my machine to boot into my windows server 2008 installation | 20:33 |
| RedXIII | When I select vista to load from GRUB it says "error: device not found: ###" where ### = UID. | 20:34 |
| arch0njw | Can you find the drive until 'buntu? | 20:34 |
| arch0njw | until -> under | 20:34 |
| RedXIII | The drive to boot on? | 20:36 |
| RedXIII | Its not mounted. | 20:36 |
| RedXIII | its under /dev/sda1, but I can open it in dolphin | 20:36 |
| arch0njw | Okay. That's excellent. | 20:37 |
| arch0njw | type this in the konsole: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 20:37 |
| arch0njw | you can then find the UUID of /dev/sda1. you can then confirm that UUID is being used in grub. | 20:38 |
| RedXIII | also do bear with me, I'm kind of a penguin noob | 20:38 |
| arch0njw | I'm only a noob+1... | 20:38 |
| RedXIII | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-03-07 19:36 4AD8E697D8E68115 -> ../../sda1 | 20:38 |
| RedXIII | I assume that's it | 20:38 |
| RedXIII | so how do I check if that's correct in grub2? | 20:39 |
| arch0njw | grub2? Hmm... I'll tell you how it works in grub and hopefully it is very similar. You can get the menu list by typing "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst". then look through that to find the Win2008 entry and make sure the UUID is correct. | 20:39 |
| RedXIII | It changed ;( | 20:40 |
| RedXIII | Everyone else said the same thing | 20:40 |
| RedXIII | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 20:40 |
| arch0njw | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 That might help. I'm reading that right now too. | 20:40 |
| RedXIII | it uses grub.cfg | 20:41 |
| jchavez | hi | 20:41 |
| arch0njw | RedXIII: there is an "update_grub2" command you might want to try running. Otherwise, there is a point 6 in that forum post that explains how to manually add an entry. | 20:42 |
| RedXIII | I ran that twice | 20:42 |
| RedXIII | its sudo upgrade-grub2 | 20:42 |
| RedXIII | s/upgrade/update | 20:42 |
| RedXIII | sudo update-grub && sudo update-grub2 | 20:42 |
| arch0njw | nutz. It looks like you can take a look at the grub.cfg (though not edit it) and confirm that the UUID is correct. I have to admit that UUID doesn't look like any I have seen before. | 20:43 |
| RedXIII | http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:search <- looks like this is the solution | 20:44 |
| RedXIII | arch0njw: I already compared them, they are the same. | 20:44 |
| arch0njw | Well documented solution. Please let me know if that works. | 20:45 |

| [Relic] | Hello :) | 21:44 |
| [Relic] | How in 9.10 do you get a camera that auto detected and called up a window as a mass storage device in 8.04/8.10 to work properly so you can get the pictures off it? | 21:44 |
| arch0njw | Digikam will autodetect many cameras that can be connected by USB. If that fails, sometimes it will simply recognize it as a mass storage device and let you copy images from it as if it were a drive. | 21:50 |
| arch0njw | What is the camera? Might be able to look it up in a compatibility list. | 21:50 |

| nighteyes | ) | 22:33 |
| nighteyes | i mean i am choosing linux to start with | 22:33 |
| xjjk | with the grub menu, you mean? | 22:33 |
| xjjk | which AFAIK is black and white | 22:33 |
| nighteyes | yes | 22:33 |
| nighteyes | yes it was grub i think | 22:33 |
| nighteyes | then it offered me to push tab | 22:34 |
| xjjk | er, tab? | 22:34 |
| nighteyes | when i push tab i recieve command tips like --- reboot boot rmmod etc.. | 22:35 |
| nighteyes | tab button | 22:35 |

| xjjk | ? | 22:36 |
| xjjk | no errors? | 22:36 |
| nighteyes | no error | 22:37 |
| xjjk | well, it looks as if grub is messed up/uninstalled correctly | 22:37 |
| xjjk | it's sort of a PITA to fix, especially if you don't have an error | 22:37 |

| Abcdqfr | Great, I'm getting a grub loading error, can you help? | 22:49 |
| clecke | maybe yes | 22:49 |
| Abcdqfr | It says the disk cannot be found | 22:49 |
| clecke | ubuntu? | 22:50 |
| Abcdqfr | Kubuntu 9.10 | 22:50 |
| clecke | ok , there have been issues with redhat... | 22:51 |
| Abcdqfr | Then brings up grub rescue | 22:51 |
| clecke | how did it happend£? | 22:51 |
| Abcdqfr | Its trying to read a file I created to work with windows bootloader | 22:51 |
| clecke | you installed windows partitiion? | 22:52 |
| Abcdqfr | 2 drives | 22:52 |
| clecke | sometimes windows wipes out grub | 22:52 |
| Abcdqfr | Not using grub | 22:53 |
| clecke | how do you load ubuntu vs windows? | 22:53 |
| Abcdqfr | When I disable the xp drive, grub is still OK | 22:53 |
| clecke | you had an ubuntuinstallation? and you added windows? | 22:54 |
| Abcdqfr | I use windows bootloader. Currently i have to disable the windows drive to boot kubuntu | 22:54 |
| Abcdqfr | No, windows first. Shoukdnt matter with 2 drives | 22:55 |
| clecke | you opened your boot.ini file allready | 22:55 |
| Abcdqfr | I made sure grub installed on the linux drive. Yes | 22:55 |
| wizkoder | Abcdqfr: The bootblock on the master drive is what you need to install grub in | 22:55 |
| clecke | you can also use your bootloader of windows | 22:55 |
| clecke | paste it inhere | 22:56 |
| Abcdqfr | wizkoder: That woukd wipe out the windows boot loader and replace it with grub. Dont want that. | 22:56 |
| Abcdqfr | Cant reakly do that | 22:57 |
| clecke | so you must correct your boot.ini file | 22:57 |
| clecke | the problem must be in that file | 22:57 |
| Abcdqfr | I think boot.ini is fine | 22:57 |
| wizkoder | Abcdqfr: what a bootloader is that? acronis? | 22:57 |
| clecke | standard windows ;) | 22:57 |
| Abcdqfr | I think its the file i made in linux | 22:57 |
| Abcdqfr | wizkoder: Boot.ini? | 22:58 |
| wizkoder | clecke: enlight my. Is windows nowadays able to boot other systems than windows? | 22:58 |
| clecke | yep | 22:58 |
| Abcdqfr | Yeah | 22:58 |
| clecke | you just have to define your partition | 22:58 |
| clecke | and it will boot ;) | 22:58 |
| Abcdqfr | Sometimes it may require assistance | 22:58 |
| clecke | maybe this will make you chance os ;) | 22:59 |
| Abcdqfr | From other files | 22:59 |
| wizkoder | Can't believe that. So maybe windows finds other systems? | 22:59 |
| clecke | if you define to boot of it yes | 22:59 |
| Abcdqfr | It would find other microsoft OS's | 22:59 |
| wizkoder | I bet linux cannot change the windows bootloader | 22:59 |
| Abcdqfr | Not foreign OS's | 22:59 |
| nightrid3r | windows will NOT recognise nor boot other OS | 22:59 |
| wizkoder | So you are stuck with windows :-)))) | 22:59 |
| Abcdqfr | Not so | 23:00 |
| wizkoder | maybe make the linux disk the master? | 23:00 |
| Abcdqfr | I just need to configure the right input and output in linux while making the booting file | 23:00 |
| clecke | it wont recognise the filesystem but will boot of it | 23:01 |
| Beaver | www.search2.net (new search engine) | 23:01 |

| Abcdqfr | No advertising | 23:02 |
| wizkoder | Beaver: does not find my page. So can't be good ;-) | 23:02 |
| wizkoder | Abcdqfr: I don't get it. How do you want to give control to linux if windows is called? | 23:04 |
| Abcdqfr | Winfoes is not called 'yet' | 23:04 |
| Abcdqfr | This is still BIOS | 23:04 |
| wizkoder | what kind of disks? scsi? | 23:06 |
| Abcdqfr | Ide | 23:06 |
| schultza | Hi. I'm trying to create/use a swap file on an ntfs partition. I dont want to have to reinstall windows when I resize it again. | 23:06 |
| Abcdqfr | Y not? | 23:06 |
| wizkoder | Abcdqfr: And windows is master? | 23:06 |
| Abcdqfr | Yes | 23:07 |
| wizkoder | tried to change the master and install grub on the linux disk? | 23:07 |
| Abcdqfr | That would boit grub by default | 23:08 |
| Abcdqfr | Boot | 23:08 |
| wizkoder | Abcdqfr: I have no clue with windows bootloader. Can't be of any help here | 23:08 |
| Abcdqfr | Thx anyway | 23:08 |
| clecke | try to use Grub loader , its much easier | 23:09 |
| edigley | hi | 23:09 |
| clecke | why dont you want to use grub? | 23:09 |
| edigley | no | 23:09 |
| Abcdqfr | Dont like it | 23:09 |
| clecke | you can start Boot.ini from grub aswell | 23:09 |
| clecke | so you have a perfet bootloader | 23:10 |
| Abcdqfr | Prefer windows bootloader very strongly | 23:10 |
| clecke | why? | 23:10 |
| Abcdqfr | Its my main OS | 23:10 |
| Abcdqfr | Boots all my other OS's | 23:10 |
| clecke | windows os's? | 23:11 |
| Abcdqfr | Mac, linux, other windows. | 23:11 |
| clecke | ok | 23:11 |
| clecke | so you better log a call with M$ ;) | 23:11 |
| Abcdqfr | They would help with linux? | 23:12 |
| Abcdqfr | Nvm | 23:12 |
| clecke | dont know , but i think its a boot.ini misconfig | 23:12 |
| Abcdqfr | I think its the input file or output file extension i use when i make the boot file from linux's mbr | 23:13 |
| clecke | could be | 23:14 |
| Abcdqfr | Most likely | 23:14 |
| clecke | but you must change it in you boot.ini for sure | 23:14 |
| Abcdqfr | I have | 23:15 |
| clecke | if you can show me your boot.ini maybe i can help | 23:15 |
| Abcdqfr | I'm on my iPod | 23:15 |
| clecke | oh ok ;) | 23:15 |
| clecke | tommorow you can come again ; | 23:16 |
| Abcdqfr | I gaurantee you, the boot.ini is 110% functional | 23:16 |
| clecke | then your ubuntu install is not right | 23:16 |
| clecke | try to install it again | 23:17 |
| Abcdqfr | No, its the file made in linux | 23:17 |
| Abcdqfr | I'm sure | 23:18 |
| Abcdqfr | Can you help me with that or not? | 23:18 |
| clecke | did you ever boot your ubuntu? | 23:19 |
| Abcdqfr | Yes | 23:19 |
