[00:31] hello, need help [00:32] why can't i install any packages through adept? [00:32] (just installed kubuntu, first time traveller) [00:33] ... [00:33] well... you can.... but I'd not advise it :) [00:33] I'd rather use apt-get [00:33] but Adept works too [00:33] I have it [00:34] Typos_King: what should i type to install firefox, for instance [00:34] sudo apt-get install firefox ? [00:35] install fff? [00:35] I used nothing, I just dl' it from their website and unzip it [00:35] weird [00:35] not working here [00:35] is all it requires [00:36] no program is able to be installed [00:36] I mean, sure, is in the repositories in .deb and you can use that too [00:36] I downloaded it from mozilla.org and all it needs is to be unzipped to the folder you want it to run from [00:37] Typos_King: i`ll try that [00:37] but i doubt it'll work [00:37] you downloaded the .tar.bz2 version, right? [00:38] * Typos_King checks [00:38] think so [00:39] I have a .zip .. now, but I made that from the package ehhe [00:39] I think it was the .bzip yeah [00:40] hey dude, it worked [00:40] tyvm === audra is now known as spacitymedic [00:45] Hey anyone know how to change the look of the kicker panel?? [00:46] is there anyone here who can at least answer me? [00:47] spacitymedic: what are you wanting to do? [00:47] i donwloaded some png images. they are supposed to be used to edit the look of that panel with the main menu on it [00:47] spacitymedic: you can drag things to and from the bar itself. [00:47] instead of an opaque bar... i can have an animal print one [00:47] if I drag one... will it change the look of the bar? [00:48] not really [00:48] Ok tried dragging it and it doesnt work... [00:49] could some one please verify that kde has been hacked? [00:49] sorry i mean kde-look [00:49] spacitymedic: but if you check the the ubuntu/kubuntu forums there are numerous posts that tell you haw to do some of the things you're wanting to do [00:49] right. i have looked [00:50] well, here's one for instance: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811812 [00:50] It's all about finding the right png file to change [00:51] i have gone into settings [00:51] i have read adn read forum after forum. and on kde-look there is nothing regarding how to use the kickers that are on there. [00:51] ok... [00:51] spacitymedic: /usr/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/ check that out [00:52] put thati nto terminal? [00:52] spacitymedic: its a directory of course [00:52] spacitymedic: you're familiar with directories right? [00:53] Just unpack whatever archive you downloaded to the directory you want and then right click on the taskbar > Configure Panel > Appearance > check Enable Background Image > click on the button with the little white thing on it and a dialog to pick the image will come up. [00:53] NOT REALLY. still learning. sorry about the caps [00:54] again, these can be found in the forums [00:54] spacitymedic: then I'd suggest that you not worry a lot about customizing quite yet, until you kinda learn the basics :) === codolio is now known as dolio [01:25] Can anyone help me? I have wireless internet, but when I used windows I had a really good connection- am I missing or in need of updated driovers for kubuntu involving wireless modems built into the laptop? [01:26] hi faultline [01:26] Hi Eagle. [01:26] faultline: so, what's different when not in win32? [01:26] faultline: can you connect in Kubuntu but with a poorer connection? [01:27] I can connect but with half the connection [01:27] I am not familiar with terminal yet, and have no idea how to check the drivers or upddate thenm [01:27] and how do you know the win32 connection is better? [01:28] Thats what I have been on until yesterday early morning lok [01:28] lol [01:28] * [01:28] faultline: have you ever used pastebin? [01:29] ....dunno rofl im new to linux and this stuff in general...been with windows since 95 [01:29] faultline: run this command: lspci -vk [01:30] in terminal [01:30] copy the output [01:30] and how do you know the win32 connection is any better? [01:30] visit http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste it [01:30] or you don't? [01:30] I just answred. [01:30] Typos question [01:31] you did? [01:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/393694/ [01:31] i think faultline is seeing the quality signal graph in the applet at half [01:31] Yes [01:31] faultline: I missed it I gather, what's the answer again? how do you know that? [01:32] Because I just came from a windows system and my other laptop (same exact one) is windows 7 by default. [01:32] EagleScreen: as opposed to an 'arguable' better graphic from another manager [01:32] I cant get signal hardly anywhere in my room and i used to be able to [01:33] EagleScreen: a small picture on the tray doesn't constitute a connectivity for the network packets [01:33] I see [01:33] faultline has got an Atheros wireless which uses the ath9k driver [01:33] then is possible the drivers [01:34] How can I update the drivers? [01:34] woth linux-backport-modules? [01:34] I have used jockey but I gather that only means towards graphics drivers [01:34] is ath9k free or restricted? [01:35] I dont know man lol I have no clue :/ my brother is supposed to be teaching me about this stuff, but is out of town on vacation lol. Can you tell me how to check it? [01:36] faultline: come to #linux-wireless and ask for your issue [01:37] ... [01:37] faultline: are you using ... kubuntu? [01:39] I am [01:39] The nexest version [01:39] faultline: if you want to update drivers, use linux-backport-modules package [01:39] Erm, latest. [01:39] Where is that located, may I ask? [01:40] hehe [01:40] faultline: if you are in Kubuntu 9.10, just install this package: linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic [01:41] sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic ? [01:41] for instance [01:41] I'd think so [01:42] Ok its installing. :D [01:42] Thansk for your help and patience guys === felipe__ is now known as felipe_crimson [01:43] where is it hiding lol its installed [01:43] faultline: now you should reboot [01:44] kk [01:46] faultline, are you here? [01:49] Wow [01:49] Thanks guys [01:49] Ok, so I shouldnt have to run nothing, it auto-updated on reboot? [01:49] It is acting a lot better, not giving me any crap lol [01:50] hehe [01:50] Well, I appreciate it [01:51] i only lack one thing now- why this 'Phonon' thing is talking about my sound thingy not loading and how its reverting to '.' [01:51] Most of my other issues involve getting my drivers right and figuring out a few minor quirks like login screen customization, WINE, and the like. [01:52] common phonon issues [01:52] For example, I would love to know hot t onull my kwallet password so I dont have to type it in everytime I boot the system [01:52] faultline_: you cna go to System Settings -> Multimedia to review configuration [01:53] faultline_: set a new blank (null) password or disable kwallet subsystem [01:54] How is that accessed? [01:54] System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Kwallet [01:55] I think you can just disable it [01:55] I recall I did so [01:55] faultline: either way, I don't use knetworkmanager anyhow, I use nm-applet IMO better [01:56] faultline_: it is expected your wireless to work much better in Linux 2.6.33 [01:56] I dunna the difference or where to begin to disable one and enable the other lol [01:57] linux 2.6.33....is that what kubuntu 9.10 is ? [01:57] yes [01:57] linux 2.6.33 is the future [01:57] 9.10 has got 2.6.31 [01:58] When does that update come out? [01:58] and 10.04 will has 2.6.32 [01:58] faultline_: IIRC, is disableable under 'system settings > notifications' [01:59] help [02:00] is K torrent good, or is there a way to get a better one through sudo apt-get? [02:00] I tried to load kubuntu but it blocks on Loading Kernel [02:00] it just locks, and stays there, nothing happens [02:00] hehh [02:00] xenaxon: karmic? 9.1? [02:01] xenaxon: what is the last you see int he screen? [02:01] 6.06 LTS [02:01] It starts loading [02:02] it says: loading Kernel [02:02] Mounting... (or something like that) [02:02] you just installed it? [02:02] and then black screen: Loading kernel. and does nothing [02:02] I just Pressed Load [02:02] at the top [02:03] kernel cannot boot [02:03] xenaxon: what computer? [02:03] is it very new? [02:03] laptop [02:04] about a year old [02:04] 6.06 LTS <--- [02:04] xenaxon: never botted Linux sucessfully? [02:04] I tried another linux: Damn Small Linux won't load either [02:04] they both load on my desktop but don't load on laptop [02:04] xenaxon: what are you doing with 6.06? [02:05] xenaxon: are we talking about the live-cd? or the installed HD version? [02:05] the live-cd [02:05] I can't install [02:05] 6.06? hhebhe [02:05] it freezez on loading kernel [02:05] xenaxon: why dont you use a newer version than 6.06? [02:05] xenaxon: latest stable is 9.1 karmic koala you know :P [02:05] well, i don't have a newer one [02:06] soooooooooooo.... dl it,no? [02:06] I have both ubuntu, kubuntu & x64 of them [02:06] download it but it's 4am and I don't have a cd [02:06] so... [02:06] anyhow, upon loadingthe live-cd menu, press F6 for more boot options, check 'acpi=off' and 'noapic', and retry [02:06] what's the problem with 6.06 anyway? [02:06] faultline_ try aptitude [02:07] is 4am... soo... go to sleep, and retry inthe afternoon hehe [02:07] :)) [02:07] I also had problems installing windows [02:07] I had to make a custom windows cd with sata drivers [02:07] maybe same problem with kub [02:07] doesn't sound like a new machine:P [02:08] windows xp * [02:12] xenaxon: are you trying to install Ubuntu 6.06? [02:14] yes [02:14] i was [02:14] I'm not trying anymore. I'll try later today [02:17] xenaxon: you should [02:17] xenaxon: it is logic that 6.06 cannot boot in that computer [02:45] Hi, I'm trying to install PulseAudio, but in only detects my external USB Midi controller (Hercules RMX), not my internal onboard HDA intel soundcard. The weird thing is, I can make sound come out of the intel one from the KDE multimedia settings system, but Pulseaudio doesn't show it through pavucontrol. [02:50] http://imggmi.info/DSC-1268361836.jpg/ do my tits look big? [03:00] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Hello [03:01] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Anyone? [03:01] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Well, I installed KDE over Gnome. However needed to return due to high CPU load during VNC [03:02] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I did, but now I can't adjust my Login Screen in Administration. Ubuntu 9.10 x64. Ideas? [03:02] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Pressing Unlock does not give any effect [03:03] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I can access the update manager for ex [03:14] i am trying to keep ~/Music on my desktop and ~/Music on my girlfriend's desktop sync'ed. is there a way to do this with rsync *without* preserving ownership? right now, when i do this, i have to chown -R the directory when i'm finished. [03:14] I don't think rsync preserves ownership by default. What options are you giving it? [03:16] Dragnslcr: i generally use '-av'. i know that -a preserves ownership & permissions, among other things. [03:17] There you go then [03:18] <[BG]ZloboMiR> !purexfce [03:18] If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [03:19] <[BG]ZloboMiR> !Xubuntu [03:19] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[03:25] For example: if you want to use -a (--archive) but don't want -o (--owner), instead of converting -a into -rlptgD, you could specify -a --no-o (or -a --no-owner) [03:25] That's from the man page [03:25] ok, i honestly did look at the man page, but obviously missed that [03:31] Yeah, it's pretty far down [03:31] rsync's man page is kinda long [03:31] I probably wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't right after the -a section [03:40] Dragnslcr: interestingly, i stopped rsync mid-stream, and restarted using '-a --no-owner'. it picked right up where it left off, but the files it has sync'ed over since i specified no owner appear to have the same ownership/permissions as the files i copied without that flag [03:41] i should probably mention that i am rsync'ing from and to root on both machines === _linucks is now known as linucks === jeremy is now known as Guest37836 === Guest37836 is now known as jeremy__ === jeremy__ is now known as thundarr [05:07] hola === n3tdaemon is now known as netdaemon [06:11] I have both flash 9 and 10 installed, konqueror uses 9, how do I link so that it uses 10? === macon_ is now known as boy === boy is now known as macon_ === macon_ is now known as macon === bigbrovar_ is now known as bigbrovar [07:02] since i bought a new media keyboard yesterday, i'm experiencing some very annoying problems [07:02] at moments, i can't tab-switch apps anymore [07:03] and the focus of windows wouldn't switch [07:03] i'm not sure how it's related, or whether it is at all [07:03] just wondering if someone else had similar issues [08:00] somehow i get the impression that amarok is the one interfering === if is now known as Guest83682 [08:02] hi [08:02] ubuntu =rock : ) [08:14] hi [08:14] why inkscape has full gnome dependencies?

[08:38] I know the server has been changed, I changed it. [08:39] So there is actually nothing "nasty" going on, and I woud like to be able to log in, without having to delete my entire known_hosts file. [08:39] what is the keyboard shortcut for minimize, maximize, move, restore in kde? i am using gnome and just installed kde. but shortkut like alt + F9 etc are not working here [08:40] gkffjcs: it should tell you what line number of your known_hosts file is the entry for that server [08:41] it says 2 [08:41] so I should edit the file? [08:41] gkffjcs: yes, you'll have to remove line 2 [08:41] ok [08:41] I guess I expected that there would be some sort of accept anyway option, and I was just missing. [08:41] but if editing is necessary, editing can be done. [08:42] gkffjcs: I don't think there is a way to do it, unfortunately [08:43] do they really expect you to edit that file? the lines are so long that their warping, I can't figure out which is second. [08:43] I'll play with it though. [08:44] gkffjcs: I found in the ssh manpage that you can set StrictHostKeyChecking to off [08:44] Thanks I'll check that out... [08:46] is that in man ssh or man sshd? [08:46] never mind... [08:47] I can't tell if that will actually solve the issue though, unfortunately. If you're using nano to edit the file, you can do nano -w and it won't wrap the lines === fmagno is now known as bombel [08:52] Actually vi ftw, I realized I could just go to where the start of the second line clearly was, and hit dd, and that cleanly deleted just that line...

My login works but i can't get kde to come up, i'm on kubuntu 9.10. can anyone help PLEASE :D [09:00] anyone? please i'm stuck in windows hell right now [09:00] hi, [09:00] I started to encrypt my swap and tmp using cryptsetup/crypttab and during the boot the system seems to almost hang. [09:00] What does that mean? When the encryption of swap and tmp is so slow, that it seems the boot process stops. Only when I drop into the rescue shell does encryption for swap/tmp end. What surprises me is that there seems to be almost no HD activity. [09:00] Has anybody seen this before?

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [18:23] Bah. Tab fail [18:50] Hello. I use an external HD on Kubuntu 9.10. My external HD has 2 ntfs partition. I use first of them but i can't mount the second one. How can i solve this problem? [18:53] ilter_: I usually end up using qtparted or gparted to get some insight into the differnt partitions. You might need to manually mount it. [18:55] Hello arch0njw. What is qtparted or gparted? And how can i mount it manually? [18:55] Those are partition editors. I know there is a way to get that information from the command-line, but I like the purdy UIs. :-) [18:56] You can install qtparted through KPackageKit. That should take care of all of the dependencies for you. [18:56] You can then use those to figure out the device name of each partition (e.g., /dev/sdf1, /dev/sdf2, etc.). [18:57] !mount [18:57] Partitioning programs: !GParted or !QtParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter [18:58] If you need to manually mount you can mount with a command like: "sudo mount /dev/sdf2 /media/other-partition". But you need to manually create /media/other-partition for that to work. This is where !DiskMounter and automounting is so nice. [18:58] ilter_: there may be errors on the partition that won't mount. the ntfs-3g driver that is used when mounting ntfs is conservative and will not mount an unclean partition, to prevent further corruption [18:59] ubottu: there isn't Disk & Filesystem icon under advanced tab. [18:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:59] ooohh... good point. ilter_, can you access both partitions of that USB drive from a windows machine? [19:00] Yes i can access from a windows machine. [19:00] Looks like the bot needs to be updated for KDE4... [19:00] My KDE version is 4.3.2 [19:01] I think what the equivalent would be is "Removable Devices" [19:01] ilter_: You might also have a "Partition Management" icon under Advanced / System. Do you? [19:02] No i don't have "partition management" icon. [19:03] ilter_: install partitionmanager if you want that icon [19:03] !info partitionmanager [19:03] Okay. I suggest installing partitionmanager. You can do that through KPackageKit. [19:03] arch0njw: I'm trying command which you gave. [19:03] ilter_: that command will not work [19:04] partitionmanager (source: partitionmanager): partition manager for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-0ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 726 kB, installed size 2848 kB [19:04] ilter_: that was an example. You need to use something like partitionmanager, or the command-line equivalent, to know the exact name of the device. [19:05] ok i'm downloading partitionmanager by apt-get install. [19:06] cool. let me know when it is installed, and when you have opened it (it's under "System Settings -> Advanced" in the "System" section at the bottom). [19:06] To learn linux i'm trying to use commands as much as possible. === jamie is now known as Guest7994 [19:06] That's excellent. :) [19:07] When all else fails, the command-line interface (CLI) is your best friend. [19:07] and often commandline is easier, eg apt-get install... [19:07] Ok it's just installed. Now there is a partitionmanager icon under system / advanced. [19:07] sweet. open it up, please. [19:08] ilter_: and I am assuming your USB drive is presently connected. [19:08] So also is there any way to learn exact name of my device? [19:09] Yes of course it's connected :) [19:09] hi, im using kubuntu configured for netbook and with kde 4.4.1 packages [19:10] ilter_: that is exactly what we're working on here :) [19:10] ilter_: partitionmanager is open and you see yoru drives in the upper left? [19:10] maybe im too dumb but cant figure out a way to add a new activity to the default ones (newspaper and applications) [19:10] it seems the second partition name is sdb6. [19:11] ilter_: okay. So you are looking at the drive with two ntfs partitions. :) great. You can tell what is mounted by running this at the CLI: df -kh [19:11] I want to add a new activity called maybe "social" with facebook and widgets like that [19:12] ilter_: If you do not see sdb6 mounted anywhere, then we can try mounting it. However, as previously mentioned, the ntfs-3g utils might not mount it if they detect anything they interpret as a corruption [19:12] ilter_: First things first. did 'df -kh' show sdb6 as being mounted anywhere? [19:14] Guest7994: Please stop with the CTCP [19:15] Yes "df -kh" shows sd6 but it's already mounted. And it's path /home. I realized that it's my own HD not a USB partition. Sorry :( [19:15] the ntfs-3g.probe command might be of help [19:15] So still i don't know exact name of second partition of USB drive. [19:16] ilter_: let's identify that first using partitionmanager. [19:16] ilter_: in the upper left, you'll see your drives. Look through them until you find one with two ntfs partitions. That sounds like the one you will want. [19:17] Ok but now there isn't anyone with two ntfs partitions on partitionmanager. [19:17] ilter_: the USB drive is conncted and mounted? [19:18] Yes it's connected and it's first partition has already mounted. [19:19] ilter_: are you sure they are ntfs partitions and not fat16 or fat32? [19:19] I'm sure both of them are ntfs partition. === xrandr_laptop is now known as Guest49359 [19:20] ilter_: Okay. Another approach. You are able to get to the first partition through Dolphin, right? [19:20] Yes. [19:21] ilter_: where does that mount to? do you know what that is called? [19:22] I don't know where does it mount. "df -kh" doesn't show it (first partition) also. [19:23] ilter_: try opening that first partition in Dolphin. [19:23] Yes i opened it in Dolphin. [19:23] It should show up if you use 'df -kh' now. [19:24] Question? My System Activity Monitor doesn't update the cpu anymore [19:24] Ooops sorry now it shows. First partition mounted on /media/NTFS [19:24] it used to update it like....constantly...now...nothing [19:25] ilter_: great. paste the output of this: df -kh | grep /media/NTFS. It should be only one line. [19:26] /dev/sdb5 120G 119G 350M 100% /media/NTFS [19:26] Thank you. And you said that /dev/sdb6 is mounted to /home? [19:27] Yes. [19:27] /dev/sda6 26G 15G 9.8G 60% /home [19:27] Ah. sda. Okay. [19:28] Ooops :( again sorry yes it's sda6 not sdb6. [19:28] With your USB drive now mounted, try running Partition Manager again. It's the fastest way I can think of to get the full device name of the other partition on the USB drive. [19:29] You will want to look at the device "/dev/sdb" and that should tell you all of the partitions on that device. === Trijntje_ is now known as Trijntje === soo_high is now known as skamster [19:30] On partition manager it says that; [19:30] /dev/sdb6 ext3 Linux-Ext3 29.80 GiB [19:31] But i'm sure second partition is also ntfs partition. It's type can not be ext3. [19:31] Question? My System Activity Monitor doesn't update the cpu anymore [19:31] it used to update it like....constantly...now...nothing [19:32] ilter_: We can still try to mount it just to see what will happen. If you are certain it should be ntfs, I find it very strange it is reporting as EXT3 [19:33] Ok let me check again my USB drive on win machine .. [19:33] ok [19:34] sudo ntfs-3g.probe --readonly /dev/sdb6 will tell you if it's not mountable, and (hopefully) why not [19:35] can anyone tell me if it is supposed to take forever to load soemthing with wine? [19:35] (gah... blanked on remembering to use the 'probe command. Thank you, mefisto__) [19:35] I checked it again. And win says the second partition is ntfs. === ubuntu is now known as lucidfailsme [19:35] faultline: usually "forever" with me means it isn't loading. Have you tried running via the command line? [19:35] I dont know the commands that well. [19:35] ilter_: try the ntfs-3g.probe command mefisto__ suggested [19:36] faultline: wine the.exe [19:36] mefisto_: thank you i'm trying the command. [19:36] faultline: depends on the program. wine is hit-and-miss [19:37] its loading just taking like 15 minutes to do so but on windows 7 only took like 20 seconds [19:38] mefisto: i tried "sudo ntfs-3g.probe --readonly /dev/sdb6" command [19:39] faultline: try running the exe via wine via the command line. There is sometimes output there that explains why things aren't working. [19:39] CLI accepted the command. It doesn't give any errors but still df -kh doesn't show about adb6. [19:39] *sdb6 [19:39] Its saying no such klodule [19:39] faultline: what's the program? you can search for it on appdb.winehq.org for possible instructions on getting it to work better [19:40] requiem memento mori [19:40] the file is UPDATERUSA.exe [19:40] Do I need to type it in all caps liek the file is? [19:40] faultline: yes, WINE is often slow [19:41] faultline: I assumed you figured out your panel problems you were having; you kept disconnecting the evening you had the problem [19:41] sort of made it impossible to help you [19:41] Is there something faster then wine that is free?

[19:43] faultline: virtualbox-ose, easily (that's the package name) [19:43] kvm (also the package name) requires a bit more work, it's a framework [19:43] you need to find a GUI === ubuntu is now known as lucidfailsme [19:43] and probably read up how to use it [19:43] KVM performs a *lot* better AFAIK [19:44] i just wanna play city of heroes and villains and maybe requiem: memento mori on here lol [19:44] oh, games [19:44] ilter_: No output...? I feel bad saying this, but my expertise is at an end at this point. Wish I knew more to help out. [19:44] wine is your best bet [19:44] And I am not sure how to work wine real well... [19:44] it's difficult to virtualize 3D hardware [19:44] Virtualbox (non-FOSS version) has 3D accel, but nowhere near native speed [19:44] WINE can get to native speed [19:45] arch0njw: when i tried this command with --readwrite option it gives one line output as below; [19:45] The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). [19:45] How can I speed it up? [19:45] faultline: I'm not sure [19:45] ilter_: so my guess was right :) [19:46] faultline: if you don't mind spending money, you may want to look at crossover games [19:46] mefisto_: what was your guess? [19:46] faultline: it's a WINE distribution that's supposed to be a bit more polished/optimized [19:46] Im broke lol [19:46] ilter_: that the partition was unclean and ntfs-3g was not mounting it for that reason [19:46] Im trryin for makin WINE work a little faster maybe...do you know much about it? I apparently cant connect to #winehq [19:47] What does it mean? But i can use it from windows machine .. [19:47] ilter_: use windows to check and fix that partition, then *safely remove* before unplugging, and it should mount [19:48] ilter_: you could also do a forced mount, but it's safer to check it in windows [19:48] ilter_: yeh... Windows is a POS [19:48] Should i need to format it to fix that partiton? [19:48] ilter_: boot into Windows [19:48] run chkdsk /r [19:48] follow instructions [19:48] reboot twice (twice is important) [19:48] xjjk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === aperson is now known as APERSON [19:48] ilter_: Windows will keep using the filesystem even if there are consistency problems [19:49] whether you think that is bad or good is up to you [19:50] hi, i updated to KDE 4.4.1 and the backspace key works again in my browser, and i cant remember how i disabled it, who can help? [19:50] xjjk: what is POS? Can i fix second partition from windows without format? [19:50] ilter_: look up POS on the Internet, this is a family channel and I can't define it [19:50] ilter_: read what I said [19:50] you do not need to format, but you do need Windows to fix the problem [19:51] ilter_: Piece of Poo (replace "poo" as needed) [19:51] hehe. windows is POP [19:52] :) Ok i got it. I agree with you about windows. [19:52] Ok xjjk i'm going to try fix it from POS windows :) [19:53] ilter_: in case I haven't emphasized, rebooting twice is important [19:53] rebooting twice into Windows, that is [19:53] Brings a whole new meaning to Windows XP OS...

[22:25] [22:35] okay. so this is a skype-related problem, audacity works perfectly. thanks a lot [22:47] at2500, look if theres a new skype version [22:49] i just installed the newest skype directly from the website. no changes. it seems to be a skype/pulseaudio problem [22:50] i think disabling pulseaudio ( shell: /etc/init.d/pulse stop or something) never makes problems [22:50] try it [22:50] I could always still playback music after stopping or killing pulse [22:51] mais yen a du monde ici [22:53] je voudrais creer une salle [22:55] !fr [22:55] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [22:55] *ubuntu-fr [22:56] #ubuntu-fr [22:56] /join #ubuntu-fr [22:56] oui merci [22:56] essayez ce [22:57] err. okay. question: does or does not kubuntu 9.10 use pulseaudio? because i think on my desktop machine it is installed automatically [22:57] at2500: it's not installed by default [22:58] okay. how does software mixing then work in kubuntu? what daemon does it? [22:59] at2500: phonon with xine backend. actually, you could try using the mplayer phonon backend instead [23:00] so skype doesnt work in the newest version because it requieres pulseaudio? [23:00] at2500: install phonon-backend-mplayer and change backend in systemsettings > multimedia [23:00] what for? [23:01] at2500: it may solve your problem. phonon normally uses the xine backend, but you could try with the mplayer backend instead [23:02] isnt the mplayer backend still under heavy development it doesnt work good? [23:03] at2500: I don't know, but it's working fine for me [23:03] n8 [23:04] mh. phonon-backend-mplayer doesnt exist. thats sad. [23:04] at2500: ok, I must be getting it from a ppa repo === dad_ is now known as Guest90664 [23:08] oh man, skype for linux sucks. [23:09] at2500: here's where I'm getting it, if you want to try: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa/+packages?start=75&batch=75 [23:11] oh man, skype for linux sucks.i'll try that [23:15] nah, with the mplayer backend its still the same. i think the missing pulseaudio is the problem. [23:17] at2500: what about skype settings? do you have "allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels" on? [23:17] no i disabled it and took the same settings that work in audacity [23:17] i am searching for a packaged skype-static-oss [23:18] at2500: disabled pulseaudio? [23:18] its not installed ;) i think that is the problem, because on the skype website it says it needs pulseaudio [23:33] Hello [23:34] i need help [23:34] Kubuntu can run in 512 Ram [23:34] non or yes [23:36] mefisto: i hate skype [23:36] Hi [23:36] can I Help me [23:36] i want to see if Kubuntu can be runing in my 512 ram old pc [23:44] at2500: look at the 3rd post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1416539 that worked for me, I could see all audio hardware in skype settings, instead of just pulseaudio [23:45] mefisto: i dont have pulseaudio installed. [23:45] !resetpanels [23:45] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:46] i already can configure skype exactly the way i do it with audacity [23:47] mefisto: but if i do so, the skype sound is blurred and fuzzy and not understandable. in audacity or when i unmute it in kde i can hear me clearly [23:55] at2500: what about kmix settings? do you have a mic boost in kmix? [23:58] yes. and its activated. if i just unmute it, i can hear me perfectly. the problem only appear when using skype. [23:59] so kmix mic boost on or off, it sounds the same in skype?
