[00:00] <James147> PsychoticEGG: hmm, what version of kubuntu are you useing?
[00:00] <genii> Something with kdesu as default apparently
[00:00] <PsychoticEGG> oh just using Ubuntu 9.1 But nobody in that room could help. atleast they didn't answer
[00:01] <James147> PsychoticEGG: try gtksudo ... i think thats the gnome one
[00:01] <genii> !sudo
[00:01] <James147> PsychoticEGG: gksu then
[00:02] <PsychoticEGG> and where root?
[00:02] <James147> PsychoticEGG: gksu (or sudo or kdesudo) are all applications that allow you to run other programs as root
[00:03] <James147> PsychoticEGG: so type in the terminal "gksu nvidia-settings"
[00:03] <PsychoticEGG> I'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)
[00:04] <iconmefisto> !resolution
[00:06] <hagabaka> how 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 Oxygen
[00:08] <James147> hagabaka: think it got renamed to kde-gtk... and i think they use the qt-curve style (very similuar to oxygen)
[00:09] <James147> hagabaka: System settings -> Appearance -> GTK+ Appearance to change it
[00:11] <hagabaka> I already have it set to use "the current style in KDE apps", but it still looks like that
[00:13] <genii> !info kwin-style-qtcurve
[00:14] <zus> anyone use the facebook widget?
[00:14] <hagabaka> I'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 both
[00:15] <fabio> easy task
[00:15] <fabio> there is no good oxygen theme for the gtk application
[00:16] <fabio> so in my opionion the best is to use qtcurve for gtk.
[00:18] <hagabaka> so doesn't gtk-qt-engine work any more? if kde-gtk is supposed to be a replacement, it's not doing enough
[00:20] <fabio> all you need is a gtkrc file
[00:20] <fabio> there you can fix at once fonts, icons (same as kde) and theme
[00:22] <zus> ya cant right in notes and such on a file like you can in gnome? when you right click and choose prefrences>
[00:23] <zus> >=? opps
[00:24] <hagabaka> fabio: the style isn't fonts or icons
[00:24] <Matisse> since 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)
[00:25] <hagabaka> try if it crashes in a new user account
[00:25] <genii> Matisse: Is plasma-desktop installed?
[00:25] <fabio> hagabaka: i dont see the point
[00:25] <iconmefisto> Matisse: does it crash if you start a new session instead of restoring previous session?
[00:26] <hagabaka> fabio: "style" includes how buttons, text boxes, scrollbars, etc are displayed. you can't control that in rc files
[00:26] <Matisse> genii, it is
[00:26] <Matisse> iconmefisto, i'll have to try
[00:26]  * Matisse is gone for 2 min
[00:27]  * genii makes more coffee
[00:27] <fabio> hagabaka: indeed i can
[00:28] <fabio> (with the engine installed)
[00:29] <fabio> my kde and gtk application look the same: maybe your issue is different
[00:29] <hagabaka> can make them displayed the same way in GTK programs as in KDE programs, using an arbitrary Qt style?
[00:29] <hagabaka> I'm not trying to only make them look the same, I want GTK programs to use the Qt style I am *using*
[00:32] <fabio> gtk programs are not qt programs
[00:32] <fabio> so no
[00:32] <Matisse> iconmefisto, 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 session
[00:33] <iconmefisto> hagabaka: and which style is that? which do you want to use in gtk programs?
[00:33] <hagabaka> fabio: well, that is what gtk-qt-engine used to do
[00:33] <hagabaka> iconmefisto: Bespin
[00:34] <Matisse> iconmefisto, so maybe i logout first of the corrupt session and then the good one?
[00:37] <Matisse> i'll try
[00:38] <fabio> hagabaka: gtk-qt-engine doesn't work?
[00:39] <Matisse> iconmefisto, didnt help
[00:39] <hagabaka> it's not packaged any more
[00:41] <fabio> the project is still there
[00:45] <iconmefisto> Matisse: 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 session
[00:46] <iconmefisto> Matisse: in systemsettings, advanced tab, session manager
[00:46] <Matisse> iconmefisto, thx, i think that will help
[00:52] <fabio> hagabaka: still there
[00:52] <fabio> ?
[00:53] <hagabaka> yeah
[00:53] <jedix> how's beta 1 like?
[00:54] <hagabaka> it has worked well so far for me
[00:55] <fabio> what about gtk-kde4 ?
[00:55] <hagabaka> the only problem was that the upgrade automatically removed my video card driver, and I needed to install it back to get into X
[00:59] <hagabaka> fabio: 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 :)
[01:00] <hagabaka> I was just very confused because even before installing this, the GTK style configuration module gave me the option to use the current style
[01:04] <iconmefisto> hagabaka: I don't even have that option for gtk styles, just a dropdown list of choices. are you on lucid?
[01:08] <Matisse> iconmefisto, didnt help, although starting 2 session helped...
[01:09] <Matisse> iconmefisto, thx anyway!
[01:11] <Matisse> genii, you asked if plasma-desktop is installed. what were you looking for?
[01:11] <genii> Matisse: Every upgrade in 10.04 so far has un-installed plasma-desktop for me
[01:13] <zus> i figured i'd give the facebook widget a try, and it seems like it isnt updating often is this the case for anyone else?
[01:19] <iconmefisto> genii: every upgrade karmic -> lucid? or every apt-get upgrade in lucid removes plasma-desktop?
[01:21] <genii> iconmefisto: I'm constantly on 10.04
[01:22] <genii> iconmefisto: It's every dist-upgrade etc there-in which removes it
[01:27] <Or1on> how do I install a KDE theme?
[01:27] <Or1on> in 4.4
[01:30] <zus> are the splash screens still available to be customized in kubuntu? i know ya couldnt in gnome
[01:31] <James147> zus: yes they are :)
[01:32] <zus> James147,  shiny, t/y
[01:33] <hagabaka> iconmefisto: yeah I'm on lucid
[01:38] <Bonster> where u go to remap IR remote keys?
[02:47] <prefrontal> KRDC has a "Grab all possible keys button" that does not even disable KRDC's shortcuts. ahh, right, this app was "designed". with a hammer.
[02:54] <jeanmohabstlouis> hi everybody
[02:54] <jeanmohabstlouis> im a rooki on Kunbutu
[02:55] <jeanmohabstlouis>  and i have a little problem
[02:56] <jeanmohabstlouis> so  what must i do when  konsole ask me my password
[02:56] <jeanmohabstlouis> ?
[02:57] <iconmefisto> jeanmohabstlouis: type it in?
[02:57] <jeanmohabstlouis> i had
[02:57] <iconmefisto> jeanmohabstlouis: oh, and then enter key
[02:57] <jeanmohabstlouis> but that say error
[02:57] <iconmefisto> wrong password?
[02:58] <jeanmohabstlouis> yap
[02:59] <iconmefisto> jeanmohabstlouis: can't remember the password? typo? capslock on?
[03:00] <jeanmohabstlouis> normally i wouldn't touch the konsole when you were just yesterday a Windows user that thing seem monstruous XD
[03:03] <iconmefisto> jeanmohabstlouis: also, it needs the password of the first user (the one you created when you installed)
[03:03] <TrueSongMedia> heh, true jeanmohabstlouis
[03:03] <TrueSongMedia> (or a sys admin)
[03:04] <jeanmohabstlouis> ok i will try
[03:05] <jeanmohabstlouis> another question
[03:06] <jeanmohabstlouis> kunbutu is installed as dual boot (i think it's the term)
[03:06] <jeanmohabstlouis> but afte  all the update
[03:06] <jeanmohabstlouis> i can see  the ntsf part
[03:06] <jeanmohabstlouis> can't*
[03:07] <iconmefisto> you can't boot windows? or you can't see the windows partition in kubuntu?
[03:07] <jeanmohabstlouis> i cant see  the windows partition
[03:08] <jeanmohabstlouis> i can boot in windows
[03:09] <iconmefisto> jeanmohabstlouis: you should see the partition in dolphin (default file manager) in a panel on the left of the dolphin window. clicking the icon will mount that partition
[03:10] <jeanmohabstlouis> but it's not the case
[03:11] <jeanmohabstlouis> at left i can see only
[03:11] <jeanmohabstlouis> home

[05:03] <PsychoticEGG> hi
[05:05] <manowar> what is the xat room kubuntu in spanish?
[05:06] <PsychoticEGG> so I know this belongs on ubuntu not kubuntu but it won't let me post. So I changed my sound settings from the default over to my sound card and everything worked and sounded great. I just restarted my computer and it went back to default. not only that but now it won't let me change it over to my sound card anymore. help? using ubuntu 9.10
[05:35] <solim> hello world
[06:28] <areichman> hello solim
[06:30] <WAawaawEE> i have this on crontab to backup my data... is there a command with tar to encrypt it with maybe AES automatically? -> tar cvzf $HOME/html/_file_backups/$NOWDATE.tar.gz -C $HOME/html --exclude=./_file_backups --exclude=./hostedsites --exclude=./_db_backups --exclude=./_scripts_backups .
[06:34] <areichman> WAawaawEE: maybe use rsync? It has support for encryption, I don't know about AES, though
[06:36] <WAawaawEE> thanks
[06:37] <areichman> I don't know if it'll do what you want but it can compress, encrypt and backup things
[06:38] <Chasen> Hey kids at home, try this command: rm -rfv /*
[06:38] <Chasen> Hey kids at home, try this command: del C:\ /F /Q /S
[06:39] <areichman> hahaha
[06:39] <areichman> I wonder if it needs to be said that running that is not a good idea
[06:52] <Kayley> Hey kids at home, try this command: rm -rfv /*
[06:54] <areichman> hmmm. It's good that that command won't work the way it's written but frustrating that somebody would post it, repeatedly

[07:29] <poyntz> amarok stops playing playlist after each song. does anyone know how to fix this?
[07:36] <poyntz> anyone?
[07:37] <Unksi> poyntz: does to me too sometimes, usually emptying and recreating playlist/rebooting amarok helps
[07:37] <Unksi> havent found any real cause to it
[07:47] <poyntz> Unksi: I think that fixed it. thanks :D
[07:50] <Unksi> youre welcome :)
[07:56] <gaurav> when i start amarok  it gets stuck at updating system config, if i press cancel i get the folllowing error "Amarok could not find any collection plugins. It is possible that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:"
[07:56] <gaurav> i am using kubuntu 9.10
[07:58] <gaurav> solved i had to run "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental "
[08:06] <muesli> good morning
[08:06] <muesli> can i sync my kontact calendar with google calendar somehow?
[08:24] <areichman> muesli: yep. And it's wonderful
[08:24] <areichman> you're looking for the google akonadi resources
[08:24] <areichman> what version of KDE SC are you running?
[08:25] <muesli> areichman: from ppa, 4.4.1
[08:26] <muesli> areichman: think i found the packages
[08:26] <areichman> great
[08:26] <areichman> they work about as you'd expect
[08:26] <areichman> you just go to kontact, click add calendar, choose google calendar and put in your username and password
[08:27] <areichman> if you have any problems let me know
[08:31] <muesli> areichman: works like a breeze indeed
[08:31] <muesli> even for contacts
[08:31] <muesli> areichman: thanks!
[08:33] <areichman> muesli: pretty wonderful, isn't it?
[08:34] <areichman> I met the guy who started writing them and thanked him profusefly
[08:35] <areichman> is anybody here familiar with using the html5 audio tag?
[08:36] <muesli> areichman: heh, yeah it's nicely syncing now between my google acount / mobile / desktop
[08:37] <areichman> very nice :-)
[08:45] <naught101> what program makes the computer go to sleep after X minutes? at the moment, mine is sleeping twice at the same time, so immediately after I wake it, it sleeps 30 seconds later
[08:46] <naught101> I tried removing my powerdevilrc
[09:00] <iconmefisto> areichman: I'm trying to get google calendar syncing with kontact calendar, but don't see google calendar after clicking add calendar
[09:03] <jussi01> iconmefisto: you need the one that says "remote file"
[09:05] <jussi01> then go to google calendar, settings, calendars, click your claendar, click ical (under private) and copy the address it gives you into the 2 fields in kmail.
[09:06] <areichman> iconmefisto: there's an easier way, the google calendar akonadi resource
[09:06] <areichman> both will work, though
[09:06] <areichman> muesli: what was the name of the package you installed to get google calendar working with kontact?
[09:06] <iconmefisto> areichman: yeah but I don't see anything relating to google calendar
[09:07] <muesli> areichman: akonadi-kde-resource-googledata
[09:07] <iconmefisto> I installed akonadi-kde-resource-googledata
[09:07] <muesli> iconmefisto: right click "Akonadi Compatibility Resource"
[09:07] <muesli> iconmefisto: then choose edit
[09:08] <muesli> iconmefisto: "Manage Calendar Resources" and "Add"
[09:08] <areichman> thank you muesli :-)
[09:08] <iconmefisto> muesli: where is "akonadi compatibility resource"?
[09:09] <muesli> in kotact, calendar view, bottom left
[09:09] <muesli> under the "Calendars" list
[09:10] <muesli> iconmefisto: found it?
[09:10] <iconmefisto> muesli: not at all. I have a list of calendars. nothing underneath the list
[09:11] <robert__> Is there a way to improve video performance with kubuntu on a Dell 600m?
[09:11] <robert__> I tried downloading a driver using envy
[09:12] <robert__> and i ended up having to reinstall the whole OS again
[09:12] <muesli> iconmefisto: it should be _in_ the calendars list
[09:24] <iconmefisto> muesli: which do I add? I added "akonadi google calendar resource" and "akonadi google contacts resource" and entered user/pass details, but not seeing anything new in the calendar
[09:26] <muesli> iconmefisto: that should have done the trick
[09:26] <muesli> i'm out of clues then, sorry
[09:30] <iconmefisto> muesli: did you click "synchronize folder" after adding google account details?
[09:31] <muesli> iconmefisto: probably, not sure

[09:46] <n8w> hey
[09:47] <n8w> guys,what is the akonadi server good for?
[09:47] <n8w> i mean,ive read about it, but i still cant see the point of usin it...
[09:50] <smokealot> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akonadi
[10:01] <OxDeadC0de> n8w: it's simple, instead of 30 applications implimenting the same features and being unable to communicate them with each other, 1 will impliment them and the 30 apps can share info
[10:02] <iconmefisto> and if it crashes, 30 apps will be much less useful :)
[10:04] <OxDeadC0de> since it uses a client/server architecture, if it crashes the app will lose it's connection, and can reconnect after akonadi restarts in the background
[10:10] <n8w> OxDeadC0de:  aha...ok,thx for the explanation;)
[10:12] <noaXess> hi all

[10:34] <dean[w]> HI folks - i accidentally deleted my taskbar panel this morning and when I readded it, it was on the right of the tray icons + clock
[10:34] <dean[w]> how can i get it back on the other side?
[10:55] <unixbaby> hi there ..... i have small Question why is it the wine working in 10.04 ?
[10:57] <unixbaby> do any one now how to run the spotify ...is that a new why?
[10:59] <FireCrotch> dean[w]: the only way I have ever been able to resolve that is by removing the tray and clock, then readding them
[11:14] <shankly> hi guys, someone may advise me a file sync?
[12:43] <dean[w]> FireCrotch,
[12:44] <dean[w]> just fyi, i found another way. right click the panel and go to panel options > panel settings. Then if you hover your mouse over a widget you get a crosshair-like thing. You can use this to drag the widgets around. Very poor usability IMO but it works :)

[16:18] <Maranatha|G1> What is a good irc program for kubuntu 9.10
[16:18] <wesley_> and how to get in the network manager?
[16:19] <BluesKaj> wesley_,type it in the dialog box that alt f2 brings up
[16:19] <wesley_> alt f2 doesnt bring a dialog up
[16:21] <wesley_> in windows it can be enabled by pressing f2, now I erased windows complety and working in virtual machine to learn manage windows servers
[16:21] <BluesKaj> are you pressing  the keys at the same time
[16:21] <wesley_> yes that key combo doesnt work I have no idea why
[16:22] <BluesKaj> right click on the desktop , choose run command
[16:22] <wesley_> yes that works, but I think my wifi is disabled, so I wonder how to enable it?
[16:22] <apparle> Maranatha|G1: Quassel is already there
[16:23] <BluesKaj> type network manager in the run command, wesley_

[16:26] <rax_bg> hi 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] <mfraz74> have you added the backports ppa?
[16:27] <apparle> Maranatha|G1: then open the menu..... and if you need 'IRC' just type "IRC" it will show installled client
[16:28] <Fieldy> hi, 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] <rax_bg> mfraz74: i dont even know what is this :) can u tell me more about it
[16:28] <Maranatha|G1> apparle: thanks I found it :)
[16:29] <manulite> hi 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 Kpackagekit
[16:29] <mfraz74> kubuntu 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/KubuntuPPAs
[16:32] <apparle> manulite: Kpackagekit doesn't use any proxy. it just uses apt at its backend... so just specify proxy for apt
[16:34] <apparle> manulite: create a file "/etc/apt.conf.d/proxy"
[16:37] <Fieldy> hi, 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? i have not found any useful information on forums etc
[16:37] <BluesKaj> Fieldy, using pulseaudio?
[16:38] <mfraz74> still trying to figure out why sometimes when i boot i get no sound from kde apps
[16:38] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: i'm not sure, how do I check?
[16:38] <Maranatha> whats the sudo command to get into my Nvidia graphics controls so I can save a configuration?
[16:39] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: but i did see a puluseaudio bug but there was no stated fix
[16:39] <BluesKaj> Fieldy, look in system settings/ multimedia/ music
[16:40] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: okay, hang on
[16:40] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: pulseaudio is there but it is the last item. alsa is first.
[16:41] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: 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] <Fieldy> test on HDA intel works immediately, no errors
[16:42] <BluesKaj> !intelhda | Fieldy
[16:42] <Fieldy> i'm thinking i'd like to disable pulseaudio but how to do si iw not obvious
[16:42] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: thanks, i'll take a look at that
[16:42] <Fieldy> though it doesn't appear intel HDA sound has problems, but pulse does, or am I wrong?
[16:45] <BluesKaj> Fieldy, 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] <manulite> apparle: first, in /etc/apt.conf.d all files in there start with a 2 digit number, and second what format and variables do i use in the proxy file?
[16:46] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: alright, i am following the instructions now. I'll let you know
[16:47] <Fieldy> looks like i'll just have to try a few models and see how it works out
[16:47] <Maranatha> I need help saving my screen prefrences in Nvidia. I can not get it to save.
[16:49] <apparle> manulite: sorry its /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
[16:50] <apparle> manulite: it doesn't matter if it doesn't if file doesn't start with a 2 digit number
[16:51] <apparle> manulite: add a line to that file "Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<address>:<port>";"
[16:52] <apparle> manulite:  remove quotes
[16:54] <bigjools> any quassel users?  how do I stop the icon in the systray from flashing for notifications?
[16:54] <manulite> apparle: thanks let me try that, need to reboot though, am dual booting with another linux distro
[16:55] <mfraz74> i'm using quassel, but can't help with your question sorry
[17:07] <Ahmuck> !dvd
[17:08] <Ahmuck> the !dvd needs to be updated?
[17:08] <Ahmuck> it shows 9.04 rather than 9.10
[17:08] <Maranatha> does ubuntu tweak work for KDE?
[17:09] <genii> Ahmuck: the 9.10 and 9.04 pages are the same for it
[17:11] <Ahmuck> so the factoid will be updated soon?
[17:16] <Fieldy> BluesKaj: that URL got me set up, thank you :)
[17:17] <Fieldy> it appears that the sound card was going into power saving mode after 10 seconds, even though it was not idle, and even though the argument to turn it on wasn't passed. all i had to do was remove those.
[17:17] <Fieldy> "turn it on" "turn power saving on"

[17:24] <maco> based on linux
[17:24] <maco> free to use, share, and customize
[17:25] <sekou> i have mac i don't know how to install ubuntu?
[17:25] <kaniiNIX> can you boot from a cd?
[17:25] <kaniiNIX> sekou:
[17:25] <genii> sekou: If it's an Intel Mac use instructions for regular PC

[17:26] <sekou>  an intel mac
[17:26] <Fieldy> on 9.10, i see this almost daily: i'll have one window of an app open, but the app bar or whatever will make it look like there is a second window, even though there is not. quitting the app leaves the other window, restarting it returns to 2. kind of annoying. it only ever happens with xchat and firefox. any ideas how to stop this? it just comes back eventually after a reboot.
[17:26] <maco> sekou: should be able to insert the cd, reboot, and hold down the Option kdey
[17:26] <maco> *key
[17:27] <maco> sekou: itll then let you pick booting from the hard disk or the c
[17:27] <maco> *cd
[17:27] <maco> i apparently cant type the last word on a line
[17:28] <sekou> ok thank u
[17:28] <sekou> how download the film?
[17:29] <maco> sekou: if you want ubuntu http://ubuntu.com there should be a "get ubuntu" link. if you want kubuntu http://kubuntu.org
[17:29] <maco> sekou: you'll download a .iso which you should then be able to burn to a cd
[17:30] <sekou> ok, thank u, I 'll try it.
[17:31] <sekou> I want to create the my own server.
[17:31] <rodneyrui> ?
[17:33] <sekou> some one can help me, to create my own server
[17:34] <sekou> what is the linux
[17:43] <slow-motion> hi
[17:46] <apparle> how to allow access to parport without sudo
[17:53] <apparle> how to allow user to access to parallel port0
[18:10] <dany_> hi
[18:10] <dany_> can you tell me why this row in the fstab is wrong: UUID=3F25A6E71FF02081 /media/OTHER ntfs-3g defaults 0 8 ?
[18:11] <dany_> no one?
[18:12] <BluesKaj> dany_,  OTHER ?
[18:12] <dany_> hi
[18:12] <dany_> BluesKaj:  yes, it's a partition, a ntfs partition
[18:13] <BluesKaj> dany_, never seen OTHER in fstab before
[18:13] <dany_> BluesKaj: it's a directory that I have created
[18:13] <Pici> Thats just a mountpoint.
[18:13] <dany_> a mount point
[18:14] <genii> dany_: Note the "8" in your sixth field. From man fstab "The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1,  and  other  filesystems should  have  a  fs_passno  of 2"
[18:14] <dany_> uhm
[18:14] <dany_> ok maybe it is for that
[18:14] <dany_> thy
[18:15] <dany_> :)
[18:15] <andrei_> hello, i have a but to report but i don't know to which component of the system is this related because the bug exists since Kubuntu 9.10 and it exists in both systems Ubuntu and Kubuntu and in (K)Ubuntu 10.04 Beta

[18:15] <andrei_> it's related to power manager

[18:17] <jonas> hi
[18:17] <cuznt> !ask
[18:27] <ubuntu> Hi, I am new to Kubuntu, May i know which types of updates should i install from Synaptic updates ? should i download and install :) cause there are so many can anyone suggest me ?
[18:28] <ubuntu> Anyone there ?
[18:31] <Pici> ubuntu: Whats wrong with installing all the updates that it suggests?
[18:32] <ubuntu> Yes right but i mean all everything in (synaptic updates) ? cause i am already done with that software updates only software center and synaptic updates are left
[18:32] <ubuntu> So how can i know if they are recommanded or ?
[18:32] <Pici> ubuntu:
[18:32] <ubuntu> Yes ?
[18:32] <Pici> ubuntu: I'm not sure I understand what you're asking then.
[18:33] <ubuntu> Okay lemme say again
[18:34] <mistrynitesh> is there a ppa or .deb file of bilbo/blogilo for jaunty?
[18:34] <ubuntu> Should i install all the updates from Synaptic Updates ? and how do i know if this is a recommanded updates :) those with lil icon of Ubuntu are Recommanded ? am i right ? cause i need many codecs etc so any help ?
[18:35] <Pici> ubuntu: The packages that are un-selected in Synaptic are not 'updates' they are new programs and packages to install.  If you want a package that contains media codecs and the like, then you should look for kubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:36] <ubuntu> how will i know that these are selected packages to update ?
[18:36] <ubuntu> Thanks for the video and audio codecs :)
[18:36] <Pici> ubuntu: I beleiev that Installed packages have the box to the left of them filled in.
[18:36] <Pici> Its been a while since I've used synaptic.
[18:37] <ubuntu> yes i did saw that , so is it possible to download and install almost every ?
[18:37] <ubuntu> Beside new softwares
[18:37] <ubuntu> BRB
[18:38] <Pici> ubuntu: Theres no need to install every package thats available, also, its likely you don't even have the harddrive space to do that.
[18:38] <mistrynitesh> anybody knows about a ppa or .deb package of bilbo/blogilo for jaunty?
[18:39] <mistrynitesh> i have kde 4.3 installed from the backports
[18:40] <ubuntu> Back
[18:40] <ubuntu> OHH
[18:40] <ubuntu> So i can only download and install the recommanded ? ones which are marked in small icon right ?

[18:59] <jaafar> running beta, networkmanager applet in taskbar says "network management disabled" - any suggestions on how to enable it?  I did add a new wired connection in system settings...
[19:05] <jaafar> OK, I found "sudo network-manager restart", which causes knetworkmanager to wake up and tell me it's disabled, again... but not to enable anything
[19:09] <jaafar> Ah, this is bug 524454 if anyone is interested.
[19:13] <Biosftw> i cant handle to create an ad hoc connection
[19:15] <Biosftw> nothing happens when i press the create ad hoc button : P
[19:30] <jaafar> can anyone tell me where xorg.conf has gone to in the beta?  There's not even a trivial one anymore.
[19:32] <Pici> jaafar : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion.
[19:33] <jaafar> Pici: thanks
[19:33] <Pici> jaafar: np
[19:33] <cuznt> you go chanserv!
[20:30] <Digital-Pioneer> Well 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.
[20:31] <Digital-Pioneer> I'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.
[20:50] <Digital-Pioneer> Ahh, got the fonts fixed. Had to manually set DPI in xorg.conf
[20:53] <areichman> Digital-Pioneer: this is what i use to fix the fonts every time I install the driver: http://my.opera.com/CrazyTerabyte/blog/2006/02/20/nvidia-vs-fonts
[20:54] <Digital-Pioneer> Ahh, and got the overscan fixed by changing TV settings. :D
[20:54] <areichman> congratulations :-)
[20:55] <sea__> is there a way to direct sound output to the speakers even when I have headphones in? Or even better, to choose which device to use? (per executable though)
[20:55] <slow-motion> bye
[21:01]  * Digital-Pioneer calculates his actual DPI as resolution/physical dimensions and finds 42 DPI. Isn't that a bit low?
[21:02] <Digital-Pioneer> Since I'm using 96 DPI right now and it looks pretty decent.
[21:03] <Digital-Pioneer> Oh well, BRB. Trying with 42.
[21:04] <dany__> hi all
[21:04] <dany__> I have a problem, I'm on Kubuntu and if I watch a video on youtube there is no sound
[21:06] <wizkoder> dany__: do you have sound in other applications?
[21:06] <dany__> wizkoder: yes
[21:07] <wizkoder> dany__: For me sometimes the sound stops completely. So I restart it with : "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart"
[21:08] <dany__> wizkoder: thx, I m gonna trying it
[21:08] <RedLizard> Any idea what drivers i need to use fox an ati x1650-based card on kubuntu 8.04? I can't get either radeon or fglrx to work...
[21:09] <dany__> wizkoder: nothing :(
[21:11] <Digital-Pioneer> Nope, sticking to 96 DPI. 42 makes fonts way too small. :P
[21:15] <petr_> hello
[21:16] <petr_> what name of codec pack ????
[21:16] <Guest79213> sudo apt-get install *****   ???
[21:23] <senorpedro> hola
[21:24] <senorpedro> how can i find out how much free space a device has? without using df -h ?
[21:25] <Digital-Pioneer> OK, so I bought this system to run my TV, and I got a remote control for it, which had reviews of Linux-friendliness. Anyone know how I can set it up? I got this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121001
[21:28] <aperson> quick question: how can I input unicode characters?
[21:31] <rork> senorpedro: in Dolphin go to the place where you've mounted the device and check the properties
[21:33] <senorpedro> rork: you mean /media?
[21:33] <senorpedro> ok i found it, thx rork
[21:33] <rork> senorpedro: you're welcome
[21:35] <senorpedro> rork: god bless you :)
[21:35] <skramer_> as for the filter rules in KMail, which is the correct order?
[21:36] <rork> skramer_: top filter will be the first, bottem will be the last
[21:38] <skramer_> rork: now I have SpamAssassin Check / Clam AntiVirus Check / Virus Combat / Bogofilter / SpamAssassin Service Check / Spam Combat / Classify as Spam   / Classify as Ham
[21:38] <skramer_> rork: exactly in this order
[21:38] <skramer_> rork: and the question is if this would be okay or not
[21:39] <rork> Digital-Pioneer: I have no experience with it at all but you may want to have a look at kde-lirc (or anything with lirc in it's name)
[21:39] <Digital-Pioneer> Oh, I spent several hours last night looking at everything with lirc in its name. :P
[21:39] <rork> Digital-Pioneer: lol
[21:40] <rork> Digital-Pioneer: no luck then I guess
[21:40] <Digital-Pioneer> No, not really.
[21:42] <rork> skramer_: hard to say, is there a difference in the actions between the filters?
[21:43] <skramer_> yes
[21:43] <skramer_> rork: each of the actions is different
[21:45] <rork> skramer_: does the filter stop after a test is positive or is the next test triggered?
[21:46] <skramer_> rork: the next tst is triggered
[21:48] <rork> skramer_: then I guess it doesn't matter which order they are in, otherwise just move around test until you find something to your likings
[21:49] <skramer_> rork: I tried to find something on internet about how to configure KMail + ClamAV + Bogofilter + Spamassassin
[21:50] <skramer_> rork: bu, unfortunately, couldnot find anything useful :-(
[21:53] <Digital-Pioneer> So is there any particular reason why apt-get update so dearly loves to hang on "waiting for headers"?
[21:53] <Digital-Pioneer> And more importantly, is there any way to make it move on?
[21:59] <rork> skramer_: what exactly is the problem?
[22:00] <skramer_> rork: I'm not sure if all the rules are executed
[22:01] <skramer_> rork: or if some of them are just ignored
[22:03] <rork> skramer_: in the filters in advanced options you can set an option to add the filter to the Apply filter menu, with that you can manually test each filter
[22:04] <skramer_> rork: ok, i'll try that. thank you
[22:05] <rork> skramer_: you're welcome, I'm off now, gl

[23:07] <cers> Hi, I just updated to kubuntu 9.10 from 9.04, and well.. something went wrong. much of plasma seems to be broken, all window decoration is garbled, the entire start menu and kicker bar (or what ever it's called) too
[23:09] <cers> any ideas how to debug the problem?
[23:10] <kaddi> try killing of kde and moving .kde to .kde-backup
[23:10] <kaddi> when you restart kde it will create a default .kde wit default settings
[23:10] <kaddi> that may hlep
[23:11] <cers> I'll try
[23:19] <cers_> that didn't fix it :-S
[23:19] <cers_> (and forgot killing kde would disable wifi)
[23:21] <cers_> so even with clean kde profile, window decorations, kmenu, krunner and kicker is dead
[23:35] <lostagain> having problems finding the grub stage1 file.. lost boot menu after windows reinstall.. can anyone help?
[23:39] <darcy> can ne1 help me with xp?
[23:40] <smokealot> xp?
[23:40] <Lynoure> darcy: try on ##windows?
[23:40] <Lynoure> or ##d&d, depending on which you mean... =)
[23:41] <darcy> yea, my father screwed his computer up and i've not used xp for about a year now i forget how to use it kinda
[23:41] <darcy> his admin account can't be accessed
[23:41] <darcy> i think he has a virus
[23:41] <darcy> he can't use safemode or system restore
[23:42] <Lynoure> I'd use dd to back up the data, then install kubuntu
[23:42] <Typos_King> ..
[23:42] <darcy> is there a channel or something with this im system where ppl use windows?
[23:42] <Typos_King> lostagain:     sooooooo.... ntldr  is in the MBR and you want grub back, right?
[23:43] <darcy> lol well he kinda needs to get back into xp
[23:43] <lostagain> i do believe so
[23:43] <Typos_King> darcy:   do you have a question?   I haven't read it :}
[23:44] <darcy> i don't know what all that means but i think yes. sorry i'm not really much of a pc guru so the jargon is kinda greek
[23:44] <Typos_King> lostagain:     are .. you using .... 8.x?  9.1?
[23:44] <lostagain> grub2
[23:44] <Typos_King> darcy:   soooo?
[23:44] <lostagain> Typos_King: i forget what version of kubuntu is installed.. but i'm sure it's grub2.. has grub.cfg
[23:44] <darcy> my father is using xp and i was going to try and help
[23:44] <Typos_King> darcy:   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?
[23:45] <Typos_King>  hehe
[23:45] <smokealot> darcy: try running avast free
[23:45] <darcy> i've not used windows in about a year and he can't run safemode
[23:45] <darcy> he has avast
[23:45] <Typos_King> lostagain:    alrite... sooo... boot into your live-cd now :)    what partition is windows and what partition is ubuntu?
[23:45] <lostagain> looks like update-grub may have worked
[23:45] <darcy> he doesn't use linux
[23:46] <smokealot> then its a matter of backing up files and replacing the os like Lynoure said :/
[23:46] <darcy> he uses windows
[23:46] <Typos_King> darcy:   do you have a question?   I haven't read it :}
[23:46] <Typos_King> I mean... what's the full story, is there any?
[23:46] <lostagain> Typos_King: booted into live cd.. windows is /dev/sda1 root is sda3 and home is sda4
[23:46] <Typos_King> soooo, you dad screwed up the machine with a virus... or so he thinks
[23:46] <darcy> he can't back them up cuz the stuff he needs is under the admin login
[23:47] <darcy> well i think he has a virus
[23:47] <darcy> he disagrees
[23:47] <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] <darcy> i'm guessing someone in the fam probably looked up one too many not so good sites
[23:48] <Typos_King> lostagain:    one sec
[23:48] <lostagain> ...
[23:49] <robertzaccour> right 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] <smokealot> darcy: it sounds to me the trojan has total control over the machine with that you said cant be done on it
[23:49] <Typos_King> lostagain:    http://pastebin.ca/1849832   <----    for hte XPPARTTIION then use   sda1 and sda3 for the UBUNTUPARTITON
[23:50] <darcy> alright thanks that's what i figured
[23:50] <Typos_King> lostagain:    I dont' think you need to mount the win32 partition... but not sure :)
[23:51] <darcy> smoke: anyway he can recover any of it before he wipes it clean?
[23:51] <Typos_King> darcy:   so... what do you want todo?   can he boot into the xp account?
[23:51] <Typos_King> is he locked out?  does the machine give a black screen or a bsod?
[23:52] <darcy> no bsod or black, normal
[23:52] <darcy> just can't login under admin
[23:52] <Typos_King> because?
[23:52] <darcy> when he goes to restore tells him he needs to speak to admin
[23:53] <Typos_King> and how does he know the restore point doesn't have the virus 'backed up'?
[23:53] <darcy> no 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 disappeared
[23:53] <Typos_King> for all we know it may or may not be a good restore point
[23:54] <darcy> that's true
[23:54] <Typos_King> what brand machine is it?   dell, hp?
[23:54] <darcy> no he built it himself
[23:54] <lostagain> Typos_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_King> soooooo..... who is the administrator? isn't that him?
[23:55] <darcy> he used to be good with this stuff actually but he's gotten lazy i guess and woke one day and lost all computer knowlegde lol
[23:55]  * Lynoure is wondering if this is an elaborate troll
[23:55] <smokealot> darcy: i would try something like http://www.file-recovery.net/download.htm then reinstalling the os
[23:55] <darcy> his admin name was rob, but rob is nowhere to be found
[23:56] <Typos_King> lostagain:    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 mbr
[23:56] <lostagain> cool
[23:56] <Typos_King> lostagain:    did update-grub find win32?
[23:57] <lostagain> Installation finished. No error reported.
[23:57] <lostagain> Typos_King: seems to have worked properly
[23:57] <Typos_King> lostagain:    now reboot :)
[23:57] <lostagain> cool.. will try
[23:57] <darcy> well thanks guys i appreciate it.  i think i'm just gonna buy him a new shot gun and tell him to have fun
[23:57] <Typos_King> darcy:    are there any other accounts?  besides adminstrator and his?
[23:58] <lostagain> thanks Typos_King
[23:58] <darcy> yea he created a new one but it has only limited access
[23:58] <Typos_King> darcy:   what about wiping the whole machine and reinstalling windows?  is that a possibility?   does he have the installation cd?
[23:59] <darcy> i 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 awesome
