at2500_no. if mic boost is off, it is very quiet. but still fuzzy00:05
mefisto__at2500_: one more idea, do you have version 2.1.0.81 ?00:05
mefisto__at2500_: there is a medibuntu package version 2.1.0.47 you never know, it might just work00:06
mefisto__at2500_: http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/skype.html00:06
mefisto__at2500_: sorry, the download links are dead. looks like skype has been removed from medibuntu00:10
at2500_mefisto: jeah, i just figured that. sucks. i dont find any debs of older versions of skype anywhere00:11
at2500_mefisto: aah.  some say it is an alsa issue00:15
at2500_mefisto: the alsa version in the repos is outdated? hm00:15

netdaemonany tips on getting kubuntu 9.10 connected to a wireless network with a hidden essid?03:37
netdaemoniv tried adding the connection by hand, no go03:38
robertzaccourhow is kde 4.4?03:42
mjecHey all, I have a fresh 9.10 install, have just managed to get graphics card to show the right resolution (1280x1024) but KDE itself is massively zoomed in - Resolution of like 320ish, so can't do anything in the gui... ideas on how to change resolution from command line?03:51
mjecIt's like I need to change the size of the desktop in px, rather than screen resolution03:53
mkquistmjec: have assistive technologies turned on?03:54
mkquistmjec: sounds like it03:54
mjechmmm, I've managed to get a little better by genkdmconf and restarting kdm03:56
mjecmkquist: not that I can see03:56
mkquistmjec: hmm, just sounds like it, but honestly im not running kd3 desktop, so I could be wrong there03:57
mkquistmjec: just tossing that out there03:57
mjecHmm... my screen's OSD shows that it's getting input from th graphics  card at 1280x1024, but KDM's display settings show 640x51203:58
Mr_Sonomawhat would yall suggest using to view MS project files (.mpp)?04:03
netdaemonawww there doesn't appear to be a gui option to disable tap to click04:04
rogue780how do I sync kubuntu with ubunu one?04:18
Mr_Sonomawhat do you mean sync? what are you trying to accomplish?04:21
rogue780from what I understand, ubuntu one is a cloud service that allows one to synchronize a folder with the magical cloud04:22
rogue780so that is what im trying to accomplish04:23
netdaemonwell if i get tap to click disabled, i'll be happy04:27

lalalolshadeslayer, i got some more problems with my system, i once installed a language and removed it but some apps still remain in that language13:22
Benkinoobyhi, i wanted to make a button for starting vlc with with a certain radio stream. i drag&dropped it from the kmenu to the plasma workspace, righklicked -> "icon settings"   -> "application"-> and replaced "vlc %U" witch "vlc http:// streamaddress" in the Command field. the icon shanged from the vlc symbol to question mark. when i changed back to "vlc %U" it stayed like this an13:23
Benkinoobyand vlc is to be found in lost&found in the kmenu instead of multimedia13:23
Benkinoobyi reinstalled, no change13:23
lalalolBenkinooby, if you want to make a shortcut on your desktop i can help13:24
Benkinoobylalalol: for this, i have no problem. what troubles me is that the vlc is not recognized as "vlc" anymore.13:25
Benkinoobylalalol: it doesnt use the icon anymore and is not listed in the multmedia part of kmenu13:25
lalalolso it works but the icon is missing?13:25
lalalolBenkinooby, right click it, properties, then click that question mark and search for the icon, select it, hit ok, hit ok, and done13:26
Benkinoobylalalol: yes. and additionally it is not listed in multimedia.13:26

shadeslayerlalalol: you already have it uninstalled,if apt-get says so,just refresh system cache,close all apps and logout and login13:28
lalalolBenkinooby, you sure you took the right category?13:28
shadeslayerlalalol: like i said its the system cache.. kde has a system cache in /var13:28
lalalolshadeslayer, ive done that, even rebooted a lot of times cause its been a week ago or so13:28
shadeslayerlalalol: oh..ok try removing it via aptitude and then check via dpkg -l | grep name ,13:29
shadeslayerlalalol: ill brb13:29

faultlineDo I need to complete that line you made?18:15

CartoonCatyea wine screwed up the networking support, again18:21
CartoonCatiirc thats the same error i got for divine divinity back at 1.018:21
mefisto__faultline: something to try: wine emulates WinXP environment by default. changing that to another version of windows (eg win98) may work18:22
CartoonCatassuming it ever worked for you, your best bet is to update to latest or downgrade to the last known working version18:22
CartoonCatah that could work if the app detects the os and does its networking diffrently based on that18:23

humanI want to type Finnish, Czech and English, but I can do it only through Ctrl + 1 not from CTrl + Shift or other normal kombinations.19:30

mefisto__tamran: you can disable nepomuk in systemsettings, advanced tab19:34
humantamran, it have begun after the installation from CD of after upgrade?19:34
tamranafter upgrade19:34
humantamran, it is hard19:34
tamranI upgraded from 9.10 to lucid last night/this morning19:34
* tamran is going to disable nepomuk19:35
mefisto__tamran: it might be called desktop search, don't really know in lucid19:35
tamranyeah, it's desktop search ... typed nepomuk in search and that was the only icon left with color19:36
tamranman, this KDE install uses much less ram than the gnome install19:36
tamranlike 150mb less19:36
humantamran, it is famous feature of ubuntu. I have had totally fallen system for two times after upgrade. Try to create new user and watch it is happens with new account. Maybe the cause is your settings from previous versions19:36
tamranI think it might be a little more cpu intensive out of the box, but quite impressive19:36

humanfelipe_crimson, have you installed that?20:23
felipe_crimsonhuman: yes. I'm trying to run windows xp for a test. and says: "no bootable device"20:23
humanfelipe_crimson, you must launch QtEmu20:24
humanfelipe_crimson press "create new machine", set the boot option from CD image, set virtual HDD size and start the machine20:25
felipe_crimsonhuman: I already do that. then one mensage says: no bootable device20:26

humanfelipe_crimson, have the bootable CD?20:29
felipe_crimsonhuman: no.20:29
felipe_crimsonhuman: Do I have to install the windows xp with a cd, right?20:30
felipe_crimsonhuman: I think the qtemu already have the windows xp installed.20:30
humanfelipe_crimson, yes you cannot start virtual machine without it, it is true form qtemu and vmware. Virtual Machine works with bootable CD like you install OS to you computer. Virtual Machine creates virtual computer(hardware) you can work with, but now virtual SOFTWARE20:31
felipe_crimsonhuman: ok. thanks.20:31
srdjangrr wtf. is flash/firefox/youtube broken again? I just get a grey box where the video is supposed to be...20:31
humanfelipe_crimson, when you set the option windows xp, you show it to the virtual machine for creating more compartibility, such as virtual sound cards and virtual network cards20:32
humanfelipe_crimson if you want to start windows applications in linux you should use Wine. Many applications and games for windows work with it, such as Quake, World of Warcraft and others, but not all.20:34

tamranwell, what should be a dark/black color is showing up as white21:07
Tm_Thmm21:07
tamrangoogle chrome browser shows the issue quite nicely if you have the "obsidian coast" theme21:07
Tm_TI see only black here, yes, only black (:21:07
tamranand set chrome to use gtk theme21:08
tamranI think just one color gets forgotten ... so I've got white text with white background.21:08
tamranthe color is the one connected to the border color of back windows ...21:09
tamranerr, inactive windows21:09
tamranother than that, it's perfect :)21:09
tamranif I use a white/light theme, I have no issues21:09

lalaloltamran, have you restarted chrome?...21:18
tamranlalalol: yeah, it's persistent21:18
lalalolweird21:19
tamranit's not such a huge deal, and only affects "dark" themes (light text on dark background)21:19
tamranI know the color it's having an issue with21:19
tamranthe border color for inactive windows21:20
tamranlalalol: do you have chrome working ok?21:20
lalaloltamran, i use Iron21:21
tamranwhat's iron?21:21
tamranis that a different build of chrome?21:21
boesmansbah i did something stupid again... while right clickin at the bottom of my screen, i click add panel twice.. now when i maximalize a window, it doesn't fill my whole screen :p21:21
lalalolgoogle chrome without the monitoring from google21:21
boesmansfixed it tho, but i need to stop clickin everything i see :D21:21
lalaloltamran, i advise chromium though, but with all google features turned off21:22
tamranthe only thing I really like about that is the syncing of bookmarks21:22
tamranlast time I tried chromium it was aweful21:22
lalalolyou used the PPA?21:22
tamranis there a kde-dressed version of it? that would be great21:22
tamranlalalol: you mean the google ppa?21:23
lalalolunfortunately not :(21:23
lalalolno, the chromium-browser ppa21:23
tamranI believe I did21:23
lalalolit auto updates21:23
tamranbut have wiped this machine SOOOO many times since then21:23
lalalolstrange, i didnt experience any bugs with it21:23
tamranwell, it was the fonts and such21:23
tamranthey SUUUUCKED :)21:23
mefisto__lalalol: so there's chrome, chromium, AND iron?21:24
tamranis chromium cleaner than chrome?21:24
lalalolthe only thing chrome is better than chromium and iron is the h.624 codec or so, to get html5 working on YT21:24
tamranI mean, less resource hungry and such21:24
lalalolmefisto__, yes21:24
lalalolits the same tamran21:24
tamrandang, I use the html5 youtube beta21:24
tamranI'm curious about this "Iron" program21:25
mefisto__tamran: chromium uses slightly less ram, last time I compared the two21:25
lalalolthen youll want to wait till that codec gets standard built into chromium and iron21:25
lalaloloh my bad, i thought it was the same21:25
lalaloltamran, SRWare Iron21:25
tamranmefisto__: does it do syncing of bookmarks and such?21:26
tamranerrr, better question:21:26
lalalolyeah it does21:26
mefisto__tamran: yes it syncs bookmarks21:26
tamrancan I run chromium and chrome side by side with no issues?21:26
mefisto__tamran: yes, I have both installed and both can run simultaneously21:26
tamranok, I'll check out chromium ...21:27
tamranthanks guys, great help :)21:27
lalalolyw :)21:28
lalaloltamran, can you answer this since youre using the html5 beta? have you experienced any issues with the beta?21:28
tamranlalalol: yeah, a couple.  1st thing is that it shows 100% loaded on the progress bar immediately, even though it's not21:29
tamranthat said, html5 runs nicer, even though it doesn't use less resources21:29
lalalolsay what?21:30
lalalolit doesnt use less resources?21:30
tamranthe second issue is that it doesn't eliminate flash on all videos, for example if there is an advert in the video it goes to the flash version21:30
tamranlalalol: nah, not at all ... it's the same CPU wise21:30
lalaloldo you have a flashblocker? then it might always do html5 i think21:30
lalalolhuh? thats weird21:31
tamranif I "extract" the video to my hard drive locally and play it, it uses half the resources21:31
tamranso, I don't know what is going on there21:31
lalalolyoure not joking right?21:31
tamrannot joking21:31
lalalolthen the beta fails lol21:31
tamranit's snappier and faster to use, but side by side cpu graph comparisions show no/little difference forme21:32
tamranok, I'm confused as to which PPA to use ... do I want the daily ones?21:32
* tamran prefers the stable-ish, update maybe once a week version if possible21:33

Wolfcastlesrdjan: I have no idea what file it's changing22:11
dmdevoteenot happening now22:11
dmdevoteebut, i had to re-install cause of this22:11
srdjandmdevotee: right click on panel and there will be some option22:11
tamrandmdevotee: when you right click the panel and go panel options and then "add widgets" the kde launcher is not there?22:13
mefisto__dmdevotee: that K button is just a widget. you can add or remove it anywhere just like any other plasma widget22:13
erk10muahahaha i got it workin22:14
srdjanerk10: :)22:14
erk10srdjan that wasnt the issue but i got a great idea from that site22:14
erk10so ty for your help22:14
srdjannp :)22:14
dmdevoteetamran, thanks, yes, now i see22:14
tamrandmdevotee: np22:14
erk10man i feel sorry for linux nubbies when im an advanced user and i still have problems from time to time lol22:14
dmdevoteeit happened to me hours ago, but i reinstalled lol22:14
erk10time to get compiz rockin on this beast22:15
srdjanerk10: how advanced?22:15
dmdevoteeomg this irc channel is awesome22:15
mefisto__erk10: things have been changing fast lately, it's easy to be a newbie22:15
erk10im a aix admin22:15
srdjanooh i'm sorry for you :P22:15
tamranerk10: linux newbs is one thing, linux newbs bred on windows for years is almost worse ... I had to get 4 years of the Gentoo treatment before I really appreciated linux22:15
erk10yea lol no os holding my hand when i go to work lol22:15
erk10if you dont know command line extremely well dont get near aix lol22:16
srdjantamran: ouch. I tried out gentoo. really liked it, except that I kept getting package blocks almost every day. and it became a massive pain to use it. pitty though :(22:16
tamransrdjan: yeah, too many options supported, too little support ... you HAVE to go unstable stream in that or you're hoooped. unstable in gentoo is actually MORE stable on 64bit22:17
erk10sudo apt-get install compiz .... anyone remember the rest of the command?22:17
erk10lol i might have to look it up22:18
dmdevoteeanybody knows if there is a easy way to share files / directories between a virtualbox machine and kubuntu?22:18
erk10wait  think the rest was compiz-manager- something hmmm22:18
srdjanerk10: do you not already have it enabled/installed?22:18
tamransrdjan: I have days where I want to go back ... but a little patience and getting a toolchain installed eased my "frustration" a bit22:18
erk10it doesnt come with this flavor of ubuntu22:18
erk10and you cant see it in the software manager either i have it running on a vpc on my solaris machine22:18
srdjantamran: yes i want to go back. only used it on and off for a few weeks. very much liked emerge22:18
erk10thats ight i'll just look it up on that computer real quick22:19
srdjanerk10: was it something like "cssm" ?22:19
erk10nah here it is its sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-settings-manager22:20
erk10knew it was something like that lol22:20
tamransrdjan: try getting the toolchain installed on Ubuntu ... I think it was "checkinstall" package?  Google "build packages" on ubuntu.  You can hack pretty much everything22:20
srdjanugh i should do some ironing22:20
tamransrdjan: if you do go use gentoo, it works nicely but requires daily work.  Eventually you'll get sick of it.  There is also Arch linux, but I didn't have the patience to get that deep ... I just like to slice through the bloat22:21
=== finux_ is now known as finux
srdjantamran: thats assuming i want to hack ubuntu... i just use it now as i was getting annoyed with lack of updates for slackware22:22

=== help is now known as finux
tamransrdjan: you may have the same thing I do ... I actually find watching code compile soothing :/22:22
erk10man ubuntu is retarded easy to use lol22:22
erk10compiz up and runnin this machine is lookin like a pimp22:23
tamranI used to have a gentoo box hooked up to the TV and would have code compiling in a PIP window22:23
erk10hel yea lol22:23
srdjantamran: me too22:23
erk10should see some of the crazy stuff im doin these days since everything is gettin so advanced22:23
tamransrdjan: I can't explain it, but yeah ... soothing22:23
tamranof course, anxiety would set in if a compile fails :)22:24
srdjanyup soothing :]22:24
erk10lol tam22:24
dmdevoteeany recommendations about gnome-commander type soft for kubuntu?22:24
erk10its one of those /wrists moments huh lol22:24
srdjani might download pornview and compile from source22:24
erk10i have a suggestion use gnome!22:25
tamransrdjan: those gentoo guys are all pretty nice too, it takes you a matter of days to start helping other newbs ... after using it for 3 days I was ssh'ign into peoples boxes with screen to walk them through an install ... within days, they were helping others22:25
dmdevoteedo you mean gnome, or gnome commander?22:25
srdjantamran: wow. people are so trusting?22:25
erk10brb just did an update22:25
tamransrdjan: there is an ubuntu package build faq somewhere.  You can make your own package quite easily with that22:25
tamransrdjan: well, it was in screen, so they could totally watch what I did22:26
srdjantamran: make install into /usr/local/stow/package/packagename/  and then use stow :)22:26
tamransrdjan: what's stow?22:26
* tamran googles22:26
srdjani didnt know you could use screen to have an interactive multi-user interface22:26
santoshhey guys, I am trying to Install oracle 11.2 on ubuntu22:26
santoshI am stuck with a step where i need to modify limit.conf file....I am getting an error when I try to save the file22:27
srdjantamran: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/12739322:27
santoshThe document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to /etc/security/limits.conf.22:27
santoshCheck that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available22:27
binarylookssantosh: are you on the konsole?22:28
srdjansantosh: do you have enogh disk space or enough permissions?22:28
binarylooksin ubuntu you need to use "sudo" to get the necessary privileges22:28
happypinguinhi, i have a mustek bearpow 1200cu plus scaner and when i try to scan it gives me "unknown erorr" (in GIMP). Does enyone have this scaner?22:28
santoshyes, I do have enough space and I am on console as root22:28
santoshis it possible to edit a file from console, or it has to be done through file manager22:29
tamranbrb22:29
srdjansantosh: it is possible22:29
srdjanwb tamran22:30
tamrancan you please repast that link ... I had to reboot the terminaal22:30
binarylookssantosh: fo example use: sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf22:30
tamrantesting something out here22:30
srdjan[22:27:40] <srdjan> tamran: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/12739322:30
srdjanbinarylooks: or sudo su  :)22:31
tamranawesome, my default browser setting works ... I just had to close the terminal22:31
tamranok, I'm going to set this up in a screen session, brb22:32
binarylookssudo suo = super user do super user :-) sounds strange22:32
srdjanbinarylooks: :D22:33
srdjanbut it does get you a root shell22:33
tamranok, screen should be working22:33
santoshI did try that22:33
santoshsudo etc/security/limits.conf22:33
santoshsudo: etc/security/limits.conf: command not found22:33
tamranscreen is just awesome22:34
binarylooksits sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf22:34
tamransantosh: limits.conf is not an executable22:34
binarylooksnano is a konsole text editor22:35
santoshI wanted to know if I can edit a file "limits.conf" from console22:36
srdjannano is not a konsole editor22:36
tamranso, by the way, KDE4.4 is using 150mb less ram than the latest gnome ... is there something I'm missing?22:36
mefisto__santosh: there should be a / before etc22:36

erk10oh man this computer runs great22:37

erk10got it runnin ubuntu studio 9.10 so its gonna be sweet for makin music and what not22:38
tamranso, ktorrent doesn't support magnet links ... can anyone reccomend a bittorrent client that does?22:39
tamranI tried transmission-qt, but the browser is trying to use xdg-open and it doesn't do anything for me ...22:39
santoshStill it give me command prompt error22:40
srdjanok i think i just got the sauce22:41
erk10utorrent is very nice22:41
srdjansantosh: can we try to guess what error it is?22:41
erk10gotta have wine installed to use utorrent though22:41
tamranutorrent isn't a linux app is it?22:41
srdjanooh need wine for Tiberian Sun...22:41
erk10no its not a linux app but like i said if you have wine installed it works22:42
santoshyes22:42
erk10also if you get crossover you can use damn near any windows software22:42
tamranI've got VMWare for that stuff22:42
tamranI'd like to keep my viruses in a sandbox if possible :)22:42
erk10virtualbox is much better than vmware22:42
erk10and its opensource22:42
srdjanlol22:42
erk10well virtualbox wont be as secure to the host os as vmware is so you might wanna stick with vmware22:43
erk10your still never 100% secure22:43
erk10im real big into virtualization use vmware at work with vsphere and all the goodies22:43
tamranerk10: fair enough ... but I like to "ride bareback" as they say when using windows22:43
erk10yea22:43
erk10brb22:44
tamrananyone got magnet links to work using chromium browser?22:44
tamranon kde of course22:44
tamranit works out of the box in gnome (Ubuntu)22:45
erk10lol the media plugin for .wma files is called ugly i love it22:48
erk10tamran out of curiousity which vmware you using?22:50
tamranvmware 722:51
erk10right on22:51
tamranit works pretty good22:51
erk10you seen what they have in store for it in the future?22:51
tamranwell, their server stuff is absolutely awesoe ... but I doubt I'd ever use it22:51
erk10eventually all the os's will run as a single os or thats how it will appear22:51
tamranthe client stuff works best on the mac though22:51
erk10yea fusion 3 is sexy22:52
erk10i have it on my mac22:52
tamranit's not as good on Linux ... but I can play some 3d games with little issue22:52
erk10unix based and linux based os's is the only way to go22:52
tamranso, I use it only when neccesary ... I don't want to make it too easy for myself to run windows apps ...22:53
tamranand I ABSOLUTELY like the way I can do snapshots22:53
tamrantalk about awesome22:54
tamranwoah, chromium is definitely snappier than chrome so far22:54
