[00:00] PsychoticEGG: hmm, what version of kubuntu are you useing? [00:00] Something with kdesu as default apparently [00:00] oh just using Ubuntu 9.1 But nobody in that room could help. atleast they didn't answer [00:01] PsychoticEGG: try gtksudo ... i think thats the gnome one [00:01] !sudo [00:01] sudo 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] PsychoticEGG: gksu then [00:02] and where root? [00:02] PsychoticEGG: gksu (or sudo or kdesudo) are all applications that allow you to run other programs as root [00:03] PsychoticEGG: so type in the terminal "gksu nvidia-settings" [00:03] I've tried changing the resolution here. but that doesn't help.

In component main, is optional. Version 0.69.1-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 56 kB, installed size 184 kB [00:14] anyone use the facebook widget? [00:14] 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] easy task [00:15] there is no good oxygen theme for the gtk application [00:16] so in my opionion the best is to use qtcurve for gtk. === christian is now known as Guest8473 [00:18] 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] all you need is a gtkrc file [00:20] there you can fix at once fonts, icons (same as kde) and theme [00:22] ya cant right in notes and such on a file like you can in gnome? when you right click and choose prefrences> [00:23] >=? opps [00:24] fabio: the style isn't fonts or icons [00:24] 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] try if it crashes in a new user account [00:25] Matisse: Is plasma-desktop installed? [00:25] hagabaka: i dont see the point [00:25] Matisse: does it crash if you start a new session instead of restoring previous session? [00:26] fabio: "style" includes how buttons, text boxes, scrollbars, etc are displayed. you can't control that in rc files [00:26] genii, it is [00:26] iconmefisto, i'll have to try [00:26] * Matisse is gone for 2 min [00:27] * genii makes more coffee === eristik2 is now known as eristikophiles [00:27] hagabaka: indeed i can [00:28] (with the engine installed) [00:29] my kde and gtk application look the same: maybe your issue is different [00:29] can make them displayed the same way in GTK programs as in KDE programs, using an arbitrary Qt style? [00:29] 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] gtk programs are not qt programs [00:32] so no [00:32] 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] hagabaka: and which style is that? which do you want to use in gtk programs? [00:33] fabio: well, that is what gtk-qt-engine used to do [00:33] iconmefisto: Bespin [00:34] iconmefisto, so maybe i logout first of the corrupt session and then the good one? [00:37] i'll try [00:38] hagabaka: gtk-qt-engine doesn't work? [00:39] iconmefisto, didnt help [00:39] it's not packaged any more [00:41] the project is still there [00:45] 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] Matisse: in systemsettings, advanced tab, session manager [00:46] iconmefisto, thx, i think that will help [00:52] hagabaka: still there [00:52] ? [00:53] yeah [00:53] how's beta 1 like? [00:54] it has worked well so far for me [00:55] what about gtk-kde4 ? [00:55] the only problem was that the upgrade automatically removed my video card driver, and I needed to install it back to get into X === headline is now known as Paola [00:59] 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] 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] hagabaka: I don't even have that option for gtk styles, just a dropdown list of choices. are you on lucid? [01:08] iconmefisto, didnt help, although starting 2 session helped... [01:09] iconmefisto, thx anyway! [01:11] genii, you asked if plasma-desktop is installed. what were you looking for? [01:11] Matisse: Every upgrade in 10.04 so far has un-installed plasma-desktop for me [01:13] 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] genii: every upgrade karmic -> lucid? or every apt-get upgrade in lucid removes plasma-desktop? [01:21] iconmefisto: I'm constantly on 10.04 [01:22] iconmefisto: It's every dist-upgrade etc there-in which removes it === genii is now known as Amastasius === Amastasius is now known as genii === emma is now known as skampler === skampler is now known as Guest79289 === Guest79289 is now known as emma [01:27] how do I install a KDE theme?

[16:28] mfraz74: i dont even know what is this :) can u tell me more about it [16:28] apparle: thanks I found it :) [16:29] 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] 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] manulite: Kpackagekit doesn't use any proxy. it just uses apt at its backend... so just specify proxy for apt [16:34] manulite: create a file "/etc/apt.conf.d/proxy" === Walter is now known as Guest13175 [16:37] 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] Fieldy, using pulseaudio? [16:38] still trying to figure out why sometimes when i boot i get no sound from kde apps [16:38] BluesKaj: i'm not sure, how do I check? [16:38] whats the sudo command to get into my Nvidia graphics controls so I can save a configuration? [16:39] BluesKaj: but i did see a puluseaudio bug but there was no stated fix [16:39] Fieldy, look in system settings/ multimedia/ music [16:40] BluesKaj: okay, hang on [16:40] BluesKaj: pulseaudio is there but it is the last item. alsa is first. [16:41] 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] test on HDA intel works immediately, no errors [16:42] !intelhda | Fieldy [16:42] Fieldy: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [16:42] i'm thinking i'd like to disable pulseaudio but how to do si iw not obvious [16:42] BluesKaj: thanks, i'll take a look at that [16:42] though it doesn't appear intel HDA sound has problems, but pulse does, or am I wrong? === yoshiaki is now known as yharuhi [16:45] 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] 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] BluesKaj: alright, i am following the instructions now. I'll let you know [16:47] looks like i'll just have to try a few models and see how it works out [16:47] I need help saving my screen prefrences in Nvidia. I can not get it to save. [16:49] manulite: sorry its /etc/apt/apt.conf.d === yoshiaki is now known as yharuhi [16:50] manulite: it doesn't matter if it doesn't if file doesn't start with a 2 digit number [16:51] manulite: add a line to that file "Acquire::http::Proxy "http://

:";" [16:52] manulite: remove quotes [16:54] any quassel users? how do I stop the icon in the systray from flashing for notifications? [16:54] apparle: thanks let me try that, need to reboot though, am dual booting with another linux distro [16:55] i'm using quassel, but can't help with your question sorry === hingo|dinner is now known as hingo === ak is now known as rainy-day === holli is now known as pausenclown [17:07] !dvd [17:07] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [17:08] the !dvd needs to be updated? [17:08] it shows 9.04 rather than 9.10 [17:08] does ubuntu tweak work for KDE? [17:09] Ahmuck: the 9.10 and 9.04 pages are the same for it [17:11] so the factoid will be updated soon? === jon is now known as Guest67570 [17:16] BluesKaj: that URL got me set up, thank you :) [17:17] 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] "turn it on" "turn power saving on" [17:18] hi guys,i want to upgrade mine kde to ver. 4.4 but don't know how.
