James147PsychoticEGG: hmm, what version of kubuntu are you useing?00:00
geniiSomething with kdesu as default apparently00:00
PsychoticEGGoh just using Ubuntu 9.1 But nobody in that room could help. atleast they didn't answer00:00
James147PsychoticEGG: try gtksudo ... i think thats the gnome one00:01
genii!sudo00:01
ubottusudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE)00:01
James147PsychoticEGG: gksu then00:01
PsychoticEGGand where root?00:02
James147PsychoticEGG: gksu (or sudo or kdesudo) are all applications that allow you to run other programs as root00:02
James147PsychoticEGG: so type in the terminal "gksu nvidia-settings"00:03
PsychoticEGGI've tried changing the resolution here. but that doesn't help. And the Nvidia controler doesn't have a resizing tool in Ubuntu (but it does in win 7)00:03

ubottuThe X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution00:04
hagabakahow come kde4-gtk-qt-engine isn't packaged any more? my GTK programs seem to be imitating the Oxygen style, but I'm not using Oxygen00:06
James147hagabaka: think it got renamed to kde-gtk... and i think they use the qt-curve style (very similuar to oxygen)00:08
James147hagabaka: System settings -> Appearance -> GTK+ Appearance to change it00:09
=== WindPower__ is now known as WindPower
hagabakaI already have it set to use "the current style in KDE apps", but it still looks like that00:11
genii!info kwin-style-qtcurve00:13
ubottukwin-style-qtcurve (source: kde-style-qtcurve): Unified window decoration for KDE and GTK+. In component main, is optional. Version 0.69.1-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 56 kB, installed size 184 kB00:13
zusanyone use the facebook widget?00:14
hagabakaI'm not using qtcurve or oxygen; I want to let GTK programs use the style I'm using in KDE, not just choose a style that has an equivalent in both00:14
fabioeasy task00:15
fabiothere is no good oxygen theme for the gtk application00:15
fabioso in my opionion the best is to use qtcurve for gtk.00:16
=== christian is now known as Guest8473
hagabakaso doesn't gtk-qt-engine work any more? if kde-gtk is supposed to be a replacement, it's not doing enough00:18
fabioall you need is a gtkrc file00:20
fabiothere you can fix at once fonts, icons (same as kde) and theme00:20
zusya cant right in notes and such on a file like you can in gnome? when you right click and choose prefrences>00:22
zus>=? opps00:23
hagabakafabio: the style isn't fonts or icons00:24
Matissesince upgrade to kde 4.4 kwin is crashing after login, any suggestions what to do? (sudo dpkg-reconfigure kwin didnt help, only manually  typing into shell can solve the problem for the current session)00:24
hagabakatry if it crashes in a new user account00:25
geniiMatisse: Is plasma-desktop installed?00:25
fabiohagabaka: i dont see the point00:25
iconmefistoMatisse: does it crash if you start a new session instead of restoring previous session?00:25
hagabakafabio: "style" includes how buttons, text boxes, scrollbars, etc are displayed. you can't control that in rc files00:26
Matissegenii, it is00:26
Matisseiconmefisto, i'll have to try00:26
* Matisse is gone for 2 min00:26
* genii makes more coffee00:27
=== eristik2 is now known as eristikophiles
fabiohagabaka: indeed i can00:27
fabio(with the engine installed)00:28
fabiomy kde and gtk application look the same: maybe your issue is different00:29
hagabakacan make them displayed the same way in GTK programs as in KDE programs, using an arbitrary Qt style?00:29
hagabakaI'm not trying to only make them look the same, I want GTK programs to use the Qt style I am *using*00:29
fabiogtk programs are not qt programs00:32
fabioso no00:32
Matisseiconmefisto, it did crash after relogin (after login to icewm - dont know how to start a new session correctly), but it didnt crash if I start another session00:32
iconmefistohagabaka: and which style is that? which do you want to use in gtk programs?00:33
hagabakafabio: well, that is what gtk-qt-engine used to do00:33
hagabakaiconmefisto: Bespin00:33
Matisseiconmefisto, so maybe i logout first of the corrupt session and then the good one?00:34
Matissei'll try00:37
fabiohagabaka: gtk-qt-engine doesn't work?00:38
Matisseiconmefisto, didnt help00:39
hagabakait's not packaged any more00:39
fabiothe project is still there00:41
iconmefistoMatisse: I can't remember exactly, but I think the way I fixed this is to change in session manager to start with a new session instead of restore session, and then after logging in normally, I changed back to restore session00:45
iconmefistoMatisse: in systemsettings, advanced tab, session manager00:46
Matisseiconmefisto, thx, i think that will help00:46
fabiohagabaka: still there00:52
fabio?00:52
hagabakayeah00:53
jedixhow's beta 1 like?00:53
hagabakait has worked well so far for me00:54
fabiowhat about gtk-kde4 ?00:55
hagabakathe only problem was that the upgrade automatically removed my video card driver, and I needed to install it back to get into X00:55
=== headline is now known as Paola
hagabakafabio: I just installed the package from http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=74689&forumpage=1 , and it seems to work. it does't look perfectly like my KDE style, but at least it's trying :)00:59
hagabakaI was just very confused because even before installing this, the GTK style configuration module gave me the option to use the current style01:00
iconmefistohagabaka: I don't even have that option for gtk styles, just a dropdown list of choices. are you on lucid?01:04
Matisseiconmefisto, didnt help, although starting 2 session helped...01:08
Matisseiconmefisto, thx anyway!01:09
Matissegenii, you asked if plasma-desktop is installed. what were you looking for?01:11
geniiMatisse: Every upgrade in 10.04 so far has un-installed plasma-desktop for me01:11
zusi figured i'd give the facebook widget a try, and it seems like it isnt updating often is this the case for anyone else?01:13
iconmefistogenii: every upgrade karmic -> lucid? or every apt-get upgrade in lucid removes plasma-desktop?01:19
geniiiconmefisto: I'm constantly on 10.0401:21
geniiiconmefisto: It's every dist-upgrade etc there-in which removes it01:22

rax_bghi there. can u tell me how do i upgrade my kde 4.3 to 4.4 one? i've tried dist-upgrade but unfortunately it doesnt work. i was using gnome a first then i installed kubuntu-desktop package. have i did something wrong?16:26
mfraz74have you added the backports ppa?16:26

Fieldyhi, i'm using 9.10... any time i view videos in firefox using flash (youtube etc), the sound plays for a few seconds and then the sound goes silent. the video keeps playing. if i open up the volume mixer, and adjust PCM at all (i have it at about 80%), it comes back. a few seconds later, it goes away again. repeat... any idea what's going on?16:28

manulitehi peeps, i have a fresh install of kubuntu 10.04 beta-1 and its my first time using (k)ubuntu so i need someone to hold my hand a bit, question 1: how do i set global proxy settings konqueror proxy settings dont seem to work for Kpackagekit16:29
mfraz74kubuntu 9.10 comes with iirc kde 4.3.2. to upgrade to 4.4 you need to add the kubuntu backports ppa. https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/KubuntuPPAs16:29
apparlemanulite: Kpackagekit doesn't use any proxy. it just uses apt at its backend... so just specify proxy for apt16:32
apparlemanulite: create a file "/etc/apt.conf.d/proxy"16:34

BluesKajFieldy, using pulseaudio?16:37
mfraz74still trying to figure out why sometimes when i boot i get no sound from kde apps16:38
FieldyBluesKaj: i'm not sure, how do I check?16:38
Maranathawhats the sudo command to get into my Nvidia graphics controls so I can save a configuration?16:38
FieldyBluesKaj: but i did see a puluseaudio bug but there was no stated fix16:39
BluesKajFieldy, look in system settings/ multimedia/ music16:39
FieldyBluesKaj: okay, hang on16:40
FieldyBluesKaj: pulseaudio is there but it is the last item. alsa is first.16:40
FieldyBluesKaj: when i selected that and chose test, an error popped up saying pulseaudio output does not work, falling back to HDA Intel (the first item)16:41
Fieldytest on HDA intel works immediately, no errors16:41

FieldyBluesKaj: thanks, i'll take a look at that16:42
Fieldythough it doesn't appear intel HDA sound has problems, but pulse does, or am I wrong?16:42
=== yoshiaki is now known as yharuhi
BluesKajFieldy, you can , sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio, but I don't think itwill make any difference since it's not working anyway. The intelhda tutorial should help.16:45

Digital-PioneerWell this is dreadfully unpleasant. I just installed Kubuntu 9.10 and after installing the proprietary nvidia drivers, my screen (a TV over HDMI) has severe overscan issues and all of the fonts are nightmarishly large.20:30
Digital-PioneerI've googled this issue, and apparently lots of people have it; solutions are a bit less common. I stripped the extensions out of my edid and set it in xorg.conf as per a tutorial online, but no help.20:31

darcymy father is using xp and i was going to try and help23:44
Typos_Kingdarcy:   how can we provide you today with excellent service, and may we tell you about our new 'save the whales' pins for just 0.99?23:44
Typos_King hehe23:45
smokealotdarcy: try running avast free23:45
darcyi've not used windows in about a year and he can't run safemode23:45
darcyhe has avast23:45
Typos_Kinglostagain:    alrite... sooo... boot into your live-cd now :)    what partition is windows and what partition is ubuntu?23:45
lostagainlooks like update-grub may have worked23:45
darcyhe doesn't use linux23:45
smokealotthen its a matter of backing up files and replacing the os like Lynoure said :/23:46
darcyhe uses windows23:46
Typos_Kingdarcy:   do you have a question?   I haven't read it :}23:46
Typos_KingI mean... what's the full story, is there any?23:46
lostagainTypos_King: booted into live cd.. windows is /dev/sda1 root is sda3 and home is sda423:46
Typos_Kingsoooo, you dad screwed up the machine with a virus... or so he thinks23:46
darcyhe can't back them up cuz the stuff he needs is under the admin login23:46
darcywell i think he has a virus23:47
darcyhe disagrees23:47
cers_after upgrading to kubuntu 9.10 (from 9.04), even with clean kde profile, window decorations, kmenu, krunner and kicker are dead - any ideas what could cause that?23:47
darcyi'm guessing someone in the fam probably looked up one too many not so good sites23:47
Typos_Kinglostagain:    one sec23:48
lostagain...23:48
robertzaccourright now my style setting is set on high resolution and very high cpu. what would happen if i put it on low cpu?23:49
smokealotdarcy: it sounds to me the trojan has total control over the machine with that you said cant be done on it23:49
Typos_Kinglostagain:    http://pastebin.ca/1849832   <----    for hte XPPARTTIION then use   sda1 and sda3 for the UBUNTUPARTITON23:49
darcyalright thanks that's what i figured23:50
Typos_Kinglostagain:    I dont' think you need to mount the win32 partition... but not sure :)23:50
darcysmoke: anyway he can recover any of it before he wipes it clean?23:51
Typos_Kingdarcy:   so... what do you want todo?   can he boot into the xp account?23:51
Typos_Kingis he locked out?  does the machine give a black screen or a bsod?23:51
darcyno bsod or black, normal23:52
darcyjust can't login under admin23:52
Typos_Kingbecause?23:52
darcywhen he goes to restore tells him he needs to speak to admin23:52
Typos_Kingand how does he know the restore point doesn't have the virus 'backed up'?23:53
darcyno idea, i did google searches and they come up with similar probs if u create new admin account but he didn't create new one, the account just disappeared23:53
Typos_Kingfor all we know it may or may not be a good restore point23:53
darcythat's true23:54
Typos_Kingwhat brand machine is it?   dell, hp?23:54
darcyno he built it himself23:54
lostagainTypos_King:  is the "#" my windows partition??  (grub-install /dev/sda     # assuming here your 1st HD is sda, if it is hda, so use that)23:54
Typos_Kingsoooooo..... who is the administrator? isn't that him?23:54
darcyhe used to be good with this stuff actually but he's gotten lazy i guess and woke one day and lost all computer knowlegde lol23:55
* Lynoure is wondering if this is an elaborate troll23:55
smokealotdarcy: i would try something like http://www.file-recovery.net/download.htm then reinstalling the os23:55
darcyhis admin name was rob, but rob is nowhere to be found23:55
Typos_Kinglostagain:    hehe, tha'ts a comment after the #.. you can skip the #... line altogether.. .but no you use   -> grub-install /dev/sda;    that will put Grub back in the MBR of the 1st HD, no partiion a partition mbr23:56
lostagaincool23:56
Typos_Kinglostagain:    did update-grub find win32?23:56
lostagainInstallation finished. No error reported.23:57
lostagainTypos_King: seems to have worked properly23:57
Typos_Kinglostagain:    now reboot :)23:57
lostagaincool.. will try23:57
darcywell thanks guys i appreciate it.  i think i'm just gonna buy him a new shot gun and tell him to have fun23:57
Typos_Kingdarcy:    are there any other accounts?  besides adminstrator and his?23:57
lostagainthanks Typos_King23:58
darcyyea he created a new one but it has only limited access23:58
Typos_Kingdarcy:   what about wiping the whole machine and reinstalling windows?  is that a possibility?   does he have the installation cd?23:58
darcyi tried to get him to switch to kbuntu when i did.  it hasn't been perfect for me but the fact that i can actually fix or get help and fix has been awesome23:59
