[00:01] BluesKaj, i have KpackageKit and it doesn't find the file I put in [00:05] shamwow, enable all your sources in kpackagekit [00:07] ok did that [00:08] still can't find the file [00:08] shamwow, now we"re going to use the kpkge version of wicd , so type wicd in the searchbar [00:10] nothing [00:12] then you haven't enabled all the repositories /sources [00:12] !repositories [00:12] 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 [00:24] hi what is an automatic backup system [00:24] somethng that when I go at the office it connects to a server and copies all my shit there [00:24] well, does a "smart" copy, not everything everytime [00:25] !language | alesan [00:25] alesan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:25] but I do not need archives, only last version, in case my laptop breaks/gets stolen etc [00:25] family friendly :) [00:25] any suggestion? [00:27] 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 [00:28] ok, then we open a terminal [00:31] shamwow, copy the name of the file from properties , and make it executable at the same time [00:31] wicd that is [00:34] ,shamwow, does the name of the file look like this, wicd-1.7.0.tar.bz2 / [00:41] shamwow , we need to know exactly where the wicd file is located so we can extract and install it . === Aranel_ is now known as Aranel [00:44] where is a good tutorial on the broadcom wireless cards... one for dumbies..... [00:44] tutorial for a broadcomm card? hehe [00:45] huston: are you trying to make one? is that it :P [00:45] nope have one in this laptop [00:45] and you need blueprints of circuitry [00:45] most broadcoms are supported huston [00:45] soooooo [00:45] and I can't get it to vunction [00:45] function [00:45] huston: what.... kubuntu version are you using? [00:45] 9.10 [00:45] ... gimme one sec [00:46] alright [00:47] I have the b43-fwcutter installed [00:47] I am getting tired of have a usb wireless device sticking out of the side of my laptop [00:48] heh [00:49] I found the page on the b43, and the b43 legacy [00:49] and I must be missing something [00:50] something simple probably [00:51] ... gimme one sec [00:51] okay [00:53] Can anyone tell me how to get ubuntuone to connect in kubuntu? [00:54] It installs and I can see the icon but it doesn't connect, I have found no solution using google. [00:55] huston: http://imsky.org/t/10660543024.html [00:55] anyone know a good config to run rde4 on a slower machine a little more smoothly? [00:55] sorry it took me a bit heheh [00:56] Jaimie: .... how slow of a cpu? [00:56] <|sysop|> I am running it pretty well on a ppc 1.2ghz [00:56] thanks [00:57] 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] 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 [00:58] okay [00:59] Fixed it, had to install gnome keyring [00:59] 800mhz [00:59] the wha? [00:59] eeepc 901a [01:00] Jaime .... well, turn off all effects.... or run another lighter window manager [01:00] something like openbox or fluxbox [01:01] <|sysop|> kde4 with all the effects runs ok on a eee [01:01] on a pIII? [01:01] <|sysop|> although it wouldnt hurt to overlock your eee. [01:02] i had it @ 900 [01:02] didnt see the difference [01:02] <|sysop|> but I had 1 gig of ram. [01:02] i also have 1G [01:02] .... and how much in the videocard? 16mbs? [01:02] 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] just feels a little sliggy when i compare it to gnome or xfce [01:02] sluggy* [01:03] 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] Typos_King: it still moves in when I double click though [01:03] Jaime kde wm, has I think more effects than gnome or xfce.... use a lighter manager, I do :) [01:04] going to go try it out [01:04] Zeelot3k: moves? where? to the right expanded? [01:04] I followed the page [01:04] k [01:04] lets see what happens [01:04] thanks again [01:04] time to restart [01:04] heheh [01:04] I will let you know [01:04] 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] huston this isn't twitter you know :P [01:04] i'll look into it sysop [01:05] alright [01:05] Zeelot3k: it doesn't in the 'tree' mode [01:05] 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] Typos_King: how do you set it to tree mode? I see no such thing [01:05] zeelot: konqueror has about..... 3 different view modes [01:05] yes none of them are called tree [01:05] I am in details mode [01:05] which shows the + sign [01:06] Zeelot3k: Settings > load view profile > file management [01:07] right... the click the + to expand, without going in it [01:07] that's my question lol, I want a file manager or an option to make the double click act like the + click [01:08] ... [01:09] never mind, [01:09] thunar kinda does it [01:09] not very well [01:09] is there another step? [01:09] 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 [01:10] not sure if that helps [01:10] yea that's also decent [01:10] I would like the files listed in the tree pane though =( [01:10] huston: no..... whatever happened? [01:10] nothing [01:10] I don't want 2 panes =( [01:10] huston: and how do you know is broadcomm? have you checked in 'lspci'? [01:10] it created a folder in the directory [01:10] heh [01:10] and that is it [01:10] yep [01:11] I did the lspci [01:11] and its broadcomm? [01:11] 4318 [01:11] yep [01:11] says it is supported [01:11] right [01:11] hello people [01:11] can you paste a dump of lspci? [01:11] sure [01:11] does anyone know a good prog for linux where I can install another Linux like a virtual machine? [01:11] I will paste the part for the broadcom [01:12] <|sysop|> qemu? [01:12] gemu? [01:12] vbox? [01:13] I'd think virtualbox will do [01:13] you want it private or here [01:13] shamwow , di you try to follow the instructions in mthe "install" text file located in the wicd folder ? [01:13] where is kde's disk-space-usage-viewer? [01:13] huston: hehhe, on a pastebin, like pastebin.com [01:14] Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) [01:14] .. [01:14] Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0005] [01:14] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 [01:14] huston: go to a console.... and type -> iwconfig <-- does it show any interface for it? [01:15] <|sysop|> how can I see what agp speed xwindows is running my card at [01:15] <|sysop|> ? [01:15] all I get is my usb device [01:16] I know it works [01:17] Ginglymostoma, sudo fdisk -l [01:17] I have three wireless cards and they are all broadcoms [01:17] huston how do you know it isn't working, the drivers aren't loading? [01:17] Typos_King: neither side seems to have + signs next to directories in Krusader... [01:18] how did you set that? [01:18] well the other os that this had it worked with it [01:18] I can replace it though [01:19] let me go look through my stack of cards [01:20] huston: did you try jockey-kde? [01:21] Zeelot3k: http://imgur.com/vI4Ww.png <--- is how mine looks like with it open [01:22] huston: you mean is a pcmcia? [01:22] how did you get that bottom right one Typos_King? [01:22] oh I see! [01:22] ok thanks! [01:22] Zeelot3k: well... that's the tree pane, is where I set it on the layout [01:34] it is an internal card [01:34] no but I will try jockey [01:34] I have a lot of extra parts for laptops and such [01:38] says I have none [01:38] maybe I lost this card somewhere [02:07] hello [02:08] list [02:14] bluesKaj-Laptop are you still there? [02:14] yes [02:14] the last thing we were talking about was the name of the file [02:14] shamwow, wondered what happened [02:15] 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] the name of my file is wicd-1.7.0.tar.gz [02:15] shamwow, did you read the "install" text file in the wicd folder? [02:15] affirm [02:16] i thought I did everything as it said [02:16] i don't know how to use the pkg software [02:16] so I skiped that and then worked with the python cmds [02:18] i did everything it said and thought I installed it correctly... when I did the wicd-client cmd i had no success [02:18] the pkg software isn' t necessary right now ...we need to go thru the install procedure as listed in the install text file [02:19] do you have a copy of that text file so that we can walk through it together? [02:21] 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 [02:22] yes, open the terminal and , cd wicd-1.7.0 [02:22] chk [02:22] ok there now [02:24] ok, sudo python setup.py configure [02:25] done [02:25] ok, sudo python setup.py install [02:26] done [02:30] now alt f2 , wicd-client ...it should open [02:30] nothing [02:36] yeah i think that is where I am stuck [02:36] was i suppose to run it with sudo or kdesu before wicd-client??? [02:37] shamwow, when you entered the commands into terminal was there any output , or did the prompt just pop back ? [02:37] prompt just disappeared [02:38] sorry... [02:38] when i typed the commands in the terminal there was a lot of output [02:38] same as before [02:39] ok, you might need to reboot for the init script to take hold [02:39] stby [02:40] ok restarted [02:40] While installing kubuntu I'm getting a lot of "preparing to completel remove" messages from the "installing system" prompt. [02:41] Is this normal? [02:41] i did alt f2 and typed wicd-client and nothing happened except the prompt disappeared [02:42] ok open the terminal , sudo wicd-client [02:42] ok i got the following: [02:43] Traceback (most recent call last): File "usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 40, in import gtk [02:43] ImportErro: No module named gtk [02:49] any idea what that means [02:50] are you still at the wicd prompt ? [02:52] shamwow, this command might clear it up, ./wicd-client.py [02:54] I think its deleting all the packages it installed [02:54] or is it just displaying the wrong message.. [02:55] jus [02:56] RedXIII_, yes it installs tempm files to facilitate installation then removes them when they are replaced with the default files [02:57] Oh I see. I was getting a little worried. [02:57] blues where do i type that at? i am in the original install directory [02:57] thanks ;) [02:58] shamwow, are you in the terminal at the wicd prompt like before ? [02:58] same one we installed from [02:59] ok run ./wicd-client.py [03:00] ./eivf-vlirny.py: no duvh gilr ot fitrvyoty [03:00] sorry [03:00] ./wicd-client.py: no such file or directory [03:01] ok try wicd-client.py [03:02] wicd-client.py: command not found [03:04] 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] !apt [03:04] 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) [03:05] Jeez its taking a long time to uninstall these packages [03:05] shamwow, seems you are missing some needed libs and perhaps dependencies [03:05] been sitting at 99% for over 20 minutes. [03:06] ok let me see if I can connect hardline [03:06] seems to have finished :D [03:07] RedXIII_, yes it depends alot on your hardware and which version [03:07] I shouldn't complain. I'm surprised this old ATA drive still even works [03:07] shamwow, good , it would be much easier [03:08] I was even more surprised when my mobo had a connector for it. [03:08] anddd install complete :D [03:10] 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] thanks for the update, talk again tomorrow [03:13] RedXIII, ok successful ? [03:14] Life makes a lot more sense now.. irc.kubuntu.org is a part of freenode isn't it... [03:48] Where's the setting to bind my windows key to the K thingy in kubuntu? [04:42] <|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? [05:37] hola todos [05:37] como estan [05:48] 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? [05:50] Dementual: as someone who is using those files (I updated using backparts to 4.4) I would say no [05:50] Ahh... 'cause my Plasma stuff keeps crashing. [05:51] Though, what I can see is quite pretty. [05:51] Now if only I could see more of it. [05:51] Dementual: what kde vesrion are you using? [05:51] 9.10 [05:51] Fresh install [05:52] yes i found the experience rather incomplete [05:52] You probably want/should upgrade to 4.4 since its a lot better than 4.3 [05:52] Went to update to KDE 4.4.1 [05:53] i'm waiting for lucid personally [05:53] 10.04 [05:55] So there's no way to get fully updated to 4.4.1 in 9.10? [05:56] i believe there's instructions on kubuntu's main page [05:56] or news rather: http://www.kubuntu.org/node/135 [05:56] Yus [05:56] That's what I followed to get to this point. [05:59] Dementual: short version enable backports do a "sudo aptitude update" [05:59] and a "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" [05:59] * netdaemon checks for updates on his kubuntu machines [05:59] i'v got backports enabled for the 4.3.x series... [05:59] netdaemon: lol me too [06:00] 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] How would I go about fixing my stuff? [06:01] And possibly going back without reinstalling (again)? [06:01] delete your .kde folder to fix stuff [06:01] downgrading will be much harder afaik [06:01] yes, downgrading not advisable [06:02] Hrm... [06:02] Would I be able to enable backports without it automatically downloading the latest stuff? [06:03] is 10.04 getting any spiffy new artwork? [06:03] i mean obviously not the desktop, but say the login manager and bootsplash? [06:03] Looked the same to me. [06:03] Assuming that ever got updated :v [06:04] Dementual: no you would have to run an update command [06:04] do me a favor and do alt+f2 and type in knapshot [06:05] Alright. [06:05] in ksnapshot there is a help button menu [06:05] hit about KDE [06:05] what do you see? [06:06] http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9452/snapshot1ig.png [06:07] k looks like your plasma bugs are probably due to 4.3 settings still being present, go to /home/[user]/ [06:07] and delete your .kde folder log out then log back in [06:07] * Dementual nods [06:08] to see the .kde folder you might have to hit alt+. in dolphin [06:09] Got it. [06:09] One sec. [06:09] a rm -rf .kde from Konsole would work too [06:11] netdaemon: I think 10.04 may get a new logo with the new font being designed and all [06:11] neat [06:11] i was hoping kubuntu wouldn't get the short end of the stick again :) [06:11] so other than that, will it still have the snowflake? [06:12] 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] *woulnn't [06:12] no i would expect not [06:13] 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] gnome on the other hand isn't [06:13] i was just wondering about the things they do normally theme [06:13] Eh, no. [06:14] suse got a customized air theme last release [06:14] Dementual: whats up? [06:14] Deleting .kde didn't help [06:14] k can you describe the problem? [06:14] Well [06:14] It seems to crash "Plasma Workspace" every startup [06:15] even the default one?? [06:15] default setup I mean [06:15] huh? [06:15] like 9.10 fresh install? [06:16] hm [06:16] fresh install is fine [06:16] just whenever I enable the backports it tries to update to kde 4.4.1 [06:16] which would be cool if it worked, heh [06:16] I would assume so since .kde deletion did not work. k open a Konsole [06:16] Update thing says I've got 32 blocked updates [06:16] k [06:16] why are you enabling backports if not to upgrade to 4.4.1? [06:16] oh [06:17] he has upped to 4.4 [06:17] you'll need to dist-upgrade rather than regular upgrade to get those blocked ones [06:17] yeah that would be it [06:17] Oh? [06:17] aptitude full-upgrade [06:17] sudo [06:17] sudo aptitude full-upgrade rather [06:17] * Dementual does that [06:18] Just press y on everything that pops up? [06:18] yes [06:18] * netdaemon may poke around kde 4.4.1 on his media box :) [06:19] i think i will actually [06:19] careful [06:19] netdaemon: whatever happened to plasma-mediaplayer? [06:19] i hear it throws out plasma crashes :v [06:19] i don't have a clue tbh [06:21] and now we play the waiting game [06:22] netdaemon: http://alediaferia.wordpress.com/2009/08/08/mediacenter-again/ [06:23] Reboot after full-upgrade? [06:23] log out and back in [06:26] install processes on atom machines take a bit longer :( [06:26] Ohey [06:26] <3 [06:26] yay [06:26] i guess that worked? [06:26] awesome beans [06:26] Worked well indeed. [06:26] Also, very very pretty. [06:27] kde's good for pretty [06:27] :D [06:27] also I <3 dolphin [06:27] though the stability bit was only recentish [06:27] yes dolphin puts nautilus to shame [06:27] even OSX finder [06:28] I found out that a svned folder in dolphin can be updated though gui?! I was like wow [06:28] That's for sure [06:28] nautilus and finder are practically the same though...as far as interface [06:39] Guts i need help please.
