cecilfsoi tried opera, firefox and seamonky, and konqueroro as well01:34
jovisyou checked all the mute switches i assume01:35

jason__so, I just installed kubuntu, and Im very disappointed that I cannot find the application "wifi radar." This is an app I absolutely need at work. How can I get this on kubuntu?06:04
jason__active chat ://06:07
alakooum...by installing it06:07
alakoosudo apt-get install wifi-radar06:07
jason__its not in kpackage kit06:08
alakooit's a gnome application but it should work06:08
alakoohttp://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/all/wifi-radar/download06:09
jason__apt-get works06:09
jason__yet, its not in kpackagekit06:09
jason__why?06:09
alakoo[08:08] <alakoo> it's a gnome application06:09
jason__so gnome apps dont appear in kdes repos?06:09
jason__I thought they shared the same repos06:09
alakoodunno, I use synaptic and it's there06:10
jason__yeah06:10
jason__kpackagekit is kind of a joke....06:10
jason__so is the "firefox installer." how about just add it by default and save the 99% of users the trouble of installing it.06:10
alakooit annoyed me at least06:11
jason__what made you choose kubuntu over ubuntu?06:11
alakooI've been using both and find KDE more versatile06:12
jason__yeah. Ive used gnome for a long time with occasional test-drives of KDE.06:12
jason__Ive always went back to gnome, yet I never had a real reason why. comfort zone, I suppose.06:13
jason__more familiar territory or whatever06:13
jason__but I look at some of these KDE installs and they look wicked nice. trying to mess around and see if I can get a sleek dekstop goin with it06:13
alakoojason__: btw they do share repos but your package kit shows only kde as default06:15
jason__I see06:16
jason__do you use pulse audio with kde06:16
jason__I had problems galore with kde's audio last time I used it, but didnt use pulse. someone told me I should use pulse....06:16
alakoono..just the pulse client libraries, but whatever works06:17
jason__yeah... just like last time, audio problems with kubuntu. sigh....06:21

MamaroknoaXess: did you check the backports and porposed repositories?10:22
Mamarokproposed*10:22
noaXessMamarok:  yes.. i think. have backports enabled...10:23
eagles05138785morning guys10:23
noaXessi don't really know, if it's a cups problem or any other package..10:23
noaXessMamarok: any idea?10:26
noaXessalso also have this ppa enabled deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dnjl/ppa/ubuntu karmic main and there is this cups version: 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.4.1~dnjl2~karmic010:28
noaXesshave contacted dnjl and wait for a answer.. but i think the printing problem is not in cups, it' seams it's in another package..10:28
noaXessMamarok: proposed are ppackage that are unsupported? in updates i have important, recommended, pre-released and unsupported packages activated..10:29
mahrendhi10:30

lalaloleagles05138785, no, im on the desktop and quassel is opened10:34
eagles05138785well you need to go back to the login screen and there is a button you press and it gives u options and kde should be listed and you click it then login and u should be on kde10:35

noaXessMamarok: backports i have enabled, that is http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu tight?10:35
noaXessright ^10:35
MamaroknoaXess: no, it is called unsupported apparently, I talk about the regular repositoreis, not the PPA10:36
Mamarokrepositories*10:36
noaXessMamarok: okay.. so the four check boxes in kapackagekit, settings, tab updates, right?10:36
Mamarokcups has nothing to do with KDE, it is a package in the underlying structure of ubuntu, henc if there is a backport it should be in the karmic-backports10:37
MamaroknoaXess: that would be the ones, yes10:37
noaXessMamarok: so i have they enabled..10:37
lalalolphew10:37
noaXessseams to not be the solution10:37
MamaroknoaXess: why do you need a newer Cups version exactly?10:38
lalalolso eagles05138785, i now have GNOME installed on my machine too cause of that 1 app?10:38
eagles05138785you shouldnt10:38
Mamaroklalalol: those are only the libraries10:38
lalalolMamarok, how come i was on gnome then? :O i dont understand10:38
noaXessMamarok: i get ths error, if i print any, even a test page over cups admin: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf failed.. and found this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/407344 but no solution yet10:39
Mamaroklalalol: I didn't follow your case exactly, but unless you installed ubuntu-desktop, that would be the only package that drags in Gnome, else it would only be libraries10:39

noaXessMamarok: i need to get printing back soon..10:40

lalaloleagles05138785, i had like 6 options to choose from, will kde be the default from now on? :)10:41
eagles05138785lalalol: should be once you log in10:41
MamaroknoaXess: well, then talk to tillkampeter in this bug report directly, he is the printer wizardry guy, if you still have the bug with that package, it is in the karmic updates AFAICS10:41
lalalolthx eagles05138785 :)10:42

lalaloleagles05138785, do you happen to have experience with AWN?10:44
eagles05138785lalalol: whats that10:45
lalaloleagles05138785, its an app that imitates the dock from OSX10:45

* aperson blames amarok - things always go wonky when he uses amarok to transfer music to his ipod16:41
Mamarokaperson: a dying X is more likely a graphic driver problem, unlikely it is due to an app16:45
apersonMamarok, then why does my system only ever lock up and go wonky when I'm transferring music via amarok?16:46

zusdoes anyone know how to flip windows? its like alt-tab ecept the window turns around i seen it on one of the youtube videos the guy said it was a compiz feature??? (and also when does kubuntu 10.4 come out?)16:56
Vroomfondlekubuntu doesn't use compiz unless you've re-configured it16:56
Vroomfondleit uses KDE4's in-built compositing engine16:57
zusi am using it from  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop16:57
Vroomfondlewhich AFAIK doesn't do that effect (I could be wrong)16:57
Vroomfondlethen it's using the standard KDE compositing16:57
Vroomfondlecompiz doesn't work very well with KDE16:57
zusi've seen kubuntu on the live disc a few times but i've only been using this for 2 days... i really like it16:58
Vroomfondlethere's a reference to a "flip switch" effect in the KDE4.4 release goals - dunno if that's the same sort of thing (Kubuntu presently uses KDE4.3)16:59
Vroomfondleyeah, it's a decent desktop environment16:59
zuswhat got me was the tree view when looking in folders.... other than that i like the simplicity of nautilus and gnome just as much...17:00
zuswell its almost like having two windows open but lined up back to back and when ya switch the window itself turns over. was amusing to see, and would like to try it over the window dodge effect,..well i havent set up any eye candy on the kde session17:03
zusnow what about wallpapers and icons and sounds? since i used gnome and the terminal and installed the kubuntu-desktop (though i made the kde default) are the folders and icon installation still the same?17:06

James147unixxbaby: you can access all win 7 files in kubuntu but you cant the other way around. The only way to share files both ways is to have a seprate partition formatted as vfat or ntfs21:25

lalaloland when i click adjust date & time, it shows monday as first day in that window, but the calendar itself doesnt update, is there a fix for this?21:28
James147unixxbaby: you cant access extX from windows unless you use the ext drivers for windows (but they havent been maintained in years and I am not sure how safe they are). So only other way would be to store everything on the windows partition21:28
James147unixxbaby: you should beable to acces win 7 from linux21:29

unixxbabyit works out well did change the partition tnx you 4 all hard word in to the os .... love the kde 4.421:53

Typos_Kingthe dvd will be about 5gbs, including piles of archived apps, the cd just 700mbs with the OS and some apps :)23:01

Typos_Kingmight have been an http, can't recall, it showed the dvd and also a selection of about 15cds too23:10
