[00:00] I thought you were in ubuntu, ubuntu [00:01] aperson: it is just temperory name created.Afteri done all this installation stuff i will change it . [00:02] ubuntu, that's not what I asked, are you in ubuntu, or kubuntu? [00:02] aperson: ofcourse kubuntu [00:02] ok, that's all I was curious about [00:33] GNU\colossus: I'm using mplayer now with the smplayer gui and vdpau acceleration; I set the shortcut for Close/taskbar minimization/pause to my Boss key and mute the mplayer error given upon smplayer minimization by setting special window properties for the error dialog. [00:35] I am afraid that the vdpau + mplayer still cannot do 1080i smoothly with my 1GB GTS250 === Empty_foo is now known as ununseptium === peter is now known as Guest31170 === hexdump is now known as hexdump_ === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [01:52] Hi all! [01:52] First time I've used kubuntu desktop I think it's awesome. great gui man [01:54] I used KDE for SuSe and I thought it looked fantastic, and this is even better. Just wanted to share that. [01:54] be back later [02:02] what does the alternate cd do that the live one doesn't? [02:05] no live environment, other install options [02:05] !alternate [02:05] hmm [02:05] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal [02:05] ahh, a little slow today [02:06] when would a text-mode installer be useful? [02:07] amichair: It has more options. [02:07] amichair: it also is useful if (for example) the installer detects the wrong DPI on your tv [02:07] .. or more to the point, the correct DPI renders the text so small as to be unreadable. [02:08] amichair: having said that, the GUI mode installer has certainly improved a lot. [02:09] frogonwheels: that's indeed useful... though it sounds more like a boot menu option than an entire separate cd [02:10] amichair: Possibly. I think having it seperate also allow s/ed (for example) to have more 'server' oriented options on a CD. [02:11] what's s/ed? [02:11] amichair: makes less sense on a dvd. so let's leave it at "practical hyst[eo]rical" reasons [02:12] frogonwheels: ok, I can live with that. For now :-) [02:12] frogonwheels: thanks [02:12] amichair: they probably have seperate builders for the two, and haven't found a good reason to merge them. [02:12] no server options,that's what the server cd is for [02:12] iirc [02:13] aperson: well iirc on debian, you used to use the text-mode installer for servers. [02:13] frogonwheels, well, ubuntu has always had a separate install cd for servers [02:15] I'm having a problem that I have no idea how to fix. Everytime I try and launch the terminal it sets down on the panel for a few seconds then disappears. [02:17] pff that's stupid as can be. I launch konsole from the root terminal and it launches no problem [02:20] hallo, noch wer wach? [02:20] ich :) [02:21] need some support with loging using sux. Anybody? [02:21] kennt sich jemand mit klipper aus? bin zwar nicht sicher, ob es an klipper liegt, aber seit kde4.3 glaub ich, funktioniert das kopieren von Textlinks nicht mehr, nur der Text wird kopiert [02:21] nm it's still not working [02:22] NeutrinoPower: Schreib auf Englisch [02:22] fooscript: logging? logging in? [02:22] ok [02:23] since kde 4.3 klipper copy links only as text no textlinks why? [02:23] frogonwheels: Yeap. Into kde-devel account on local machine. I did everything due to KDE tutorial, but when logging in, cannot launch X mode. When typing startx I got denial because of no priviledges for user kde-devel [02:23] I guess I'll just have to run programs root all the time [02:24] I'll just be careful with what I run and how long I run a program [02:24] (I use archLinux with kde4.4.2) [02:24] !patience | hexdump_ [02:24] hexdump_: you could try removing the konsole configuration ? [02:24] hexdump_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com/ http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ or http://www.kubuntuforums.net/ while you wait. [02:24] dang ubottu is slow today [02:24] aperson: yeah I know I'm just thinking out loud [02:24] I don't feel ignored it's cool it's cool no problamo [02:24] hexdump_: Tried to sudo sux - kde-devel. Still no result :/ X does not start automaticaly. [02:25] fooscript: sux is just su that maintains X cookies and stuff iirc [02:25] fooscript: used to use it... but sudo seems to handle it now [02:25] ah okie [02:25] frogonwheels: Sudo support X-mode ? [02:26] well folks I'll be back in a little bit gotta take care of some stuff. === Empty_foo is now known as ununseptium [02:26] * frogonwheels shrugs. well I have no problem with using sudo and running X programs. [02:26] frogonwheels: so you have to use sudo everytime you run a program? [02:27] hexdump_: no. [02:27] ah well, tell me later I gtg take care of some things... [02:27] hexdump_: it used to be that if you did sudo su (equiv of sudo -s) you couldn't run X programs [02:27] .. and sux took care of that. [02:28] yeah, I'll talk in a little bit be back soon. [02:29] I might take a break and play nazi zombies I'll be back sometime soon tho. === mertle is now known as gottto === gus is now known as claydoh [03:02] this is a shot in the dark, but is there a way to make gmail my default email client? [03:02] i.e. when I click on a mailto in a browser, an email address in Quassel, etc. [03:04] rmrfslash: possibly - but you can always view your gmail account using imap in kmail [03:04] rmrfslash: interact with it that way? [03:05] I'm somehwhat of a fan of Gmail's client [03:05] it has the whole chat + mail + calendar thing going on [03:06] rmrfslash: can you create a google-chrom 'gmail' application icon.. [03:06] rmrfslash: and use the properties of that to set as your default email client? [03:07] rmrfslash: System Settings | Default Applications | Email Client [03:08] google-chrome --app=http://www.gmail.com/ (etc [03:08] you know what though... I can't see Chrome from this menu [03:08] I tried this [03:09] oh you're saying to hard code this [03:09] exactly [03:09] foo@bar.com [03:09] I need to try this somehow [03:09] mailto:foo@bar.com [03:10] rmrfslash: if you hover over the edit, it shows you the % substitutions you need. [03:10] rmrfslash: you might have to work out a way of passing the parameters to gmail.. [03:10] yeah [03:11] rmrfslash: even write a small wrapper script. [03:12] rmrfslash: http://tinyurl.com/yaqzbky [03:12] :-/ [03:12] I've been slapped w/ that before [03:13] like I haven't googled it [03:13] come on now [03:13] :) sometimes it's about the wording. [03:13] so it's a to param [03:13] it's the to get param [03:13] I just blindly tried "?compose= [03:14] https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&tf=0&to=foo@bar.com&fs=1 [03:15] :D [03:15] presumably you've looked at open_mailto.sh in the top link from that lmgtfy? [03:15] yeah, they described it [03:16] oh.. huh. didn't get that far down [03:18] cool tho... should work. looks like they just pass the mailto:foo@bar.com to whatever script [03:18] so you just remove the mailto and do the thing [03:19] with the stuff [03:21] rmrfslash: presumably your nick is a homage to bofh? [03:21] .. though I guess that would be more killminusnine [03:21] :P [03:22] .. seriously - you know about bofh? [03:22] googled it [03:22] just now [03:23] bastard operator from hell [03:23] yep. it's kinda dated, but amusing none-the-less [03:23] but no, it's not a hommage to bofh :) [03:23] need to read this though [03:26] :) I just read a bit of the first article [03:26] funny [03:26] reminds me of maddox [03:26] if you've ever read maddox.xmission.com [03:26] nope [03:26] he's funny [03:31] time for me to hit the hay [03:33] I almost can't believe xmission let's him host this site [03:34] anybody ever had a problem launching their shell in KDE? [03:35] my terminal launched then locks to my panel and shuts down [03:39] google-chrome --app=https://mail.google.com/mail?extsrc=mailto&url=%u [03:39] that's the ticket [03:40] no need to write any script [03:43] hexdump_: which shell are you using? konsole? [03:43] islington: yes konsole [03:44] islington: see the strange thing is that it worked right off the bat and then stopped working [03:49] islington: if there is a different terminal I can use I'll use an alternate instead [03:49] hexdump_: yuakake [03:50] is one I could recommend [03:50] alright I'll give that a shot [03:50] islington: i didn't see that in the repo [03:51] islington: sorry I found it [03:51] yakuake spelling error my bad [03:53] hexdump_: it's basically a wrapper round konsole - except that you can't (couldn't?) set up different session types. [03:53] frogonwheels: what do you mean? I can't ssh with it? [03:54] hexdump_: you can [03:54] oh ok [03:54] ok. haven't used it for a while. might start again then. [03:54] well this freakin thing is trying to launch now [03:54] frogonwheels: how do you use diff session types? [03:54] what for I mean [03:55] I'm having nothing but problems now that I switched to KDE, but I like it and I want to get it working eventually [03:55] wtf man nothing is launching how gay is this [03:55] islington: well ssh is an example. I used to have one that connected to a music server... [03:56] my freakin torrents permission denied applications wont launch jesus this is going to take some work [03:56] only thing that launches is my root terminal and from there I can launch the other consoles [03:57] sounds like a permission flaw [03:58] is your /home directory have the right permissions hexdump_? [03:59] islington: my download directory? [04:00] I mean your /home [04:00] oh what should I set it to? [04:00] I mean there is a script I found but... [04:00] I shouldn't set it to 777 [04:00] well you should be the owner...no sir not 777 [04:00] islington: Ok, so how do you open a new session in yakuake that executes the associated command? [04:00] um x+u [04:01] frogonwheels: yeah that is what I was trying to find out I think you are right [04:01] yeah.. it's sucky. [04:01] this is madness [04:01] gimmie a sec [04:02] brb I'll try to figure some stuff out [04:04] yeah your /home should be some thing like this: http://imgur.com/FWEyh.png hexdump_ [04:04] islington: why do I have to change file permissions in the first place? [04:04] hmmm whaddaya knkow vuze is working just fine [04:04] well it sounds like you are having trouble with the permissions in the /home folder [04:04] yeah strange tho vuze is working fine [04:05] islington: the bigger question I have is why am I having trouble with the permissions in the /home folder? [04:05] hexdump_: you haven't got any files owned by root in ~/ have you? [04:05] frogonwheels: I'm not sure, there probably are some files here and there. [04:06] hey wait do you think the reason I cant launch some of the programs are because of permissions? [04:06] hexdump_: possibly. [04:07] let me try something [04:08] should I set them to 751? [04:10] hmod: cannot access `home/hexdump/.gvfs': Permission denied [04:10] chmod: cannot access `home/hexdump/.gvfs': Permission denied [04:11] what are you logged in as? [04:11] root? user? [04:11] I have to be [04:11] I'm not logged in as root [04:11] I have to use a root terminal becaues that's all that will launch [04:12] okay launch dolphin [04:12] I'm trying chmod -R on directories I dunno man [04:12] from root term [04:12] it's launched [04:12] oh ok [04:12] browse to / home/ [04:12] ok [04:12] rightclick on hexdump and yadda yadda [04:13] should look like this: http://imgur.com/FWEyh.png [04:13] ok did that no permissions are showing [04:13] ha weak [04:13] let me chown it [04:13] ? [04:14] I can't even change it as root [04:14] that is... [04:14] else i chmod -R [04:14] what are the permissions on it? do ls -h [04:14] one sec [04:15] yeah not lauching [04:15] maybe cuz I already have one root term open [04:15] okay I opened a new tab [04:16] islington: ls -h ? [04:16] do cd /home [04:16] ls -lha [04:16] it's root [04:16] owned by root? [04:16] wait no hexdump is owned by hexdump [04:17] weird wtf [04:19] chmod 755 the directory [04:19] I think I see a problem [04:19] maybe I dunno tho [04:19] can't do that islington [04:19] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs [04:20] see that [04:20] I can't even enter that directory [04:20] I can't even chown root to .gvfs [04:21] it odd as hell [04:21] let me try and do something [04:21] I can't do anything at all with that [04:21] brb one sec [04:22] what is the default root password on ubuntu? [04:22] or is there one? [04:23] there isnt one root is done by doing sudo [04:23] open ... u just need command u now what aver u doing [04:23] ever"" [04:23] must be setuid root [04:24] I was able to access the directory [04:24] yeah tired that no go [04:24] I switched to a different display full screen whatever. I don't know all the lingo yet [04:24] but I was able to access the directory that way [04:24] " cd " cd .." [04:25] but it's funny in root shell within KDE I couldn't access it [04:26] wiat a sec [04:26] I need to find out about this [04:28] islington .gvfs is the gnome virtual file system [04:28] maybe if I log out into knome and set all the permissions properly then log back into KDE? [04:28] gnome rather sorry [04:29] this is just becoming more of a hassle then what it's worth [04:30] wait when I first logged on there was a prompt for a password [04:30] kwallet === ak is now known as rainy-day [04:32] pfff [04:33] hey guys, plasma freezes from time to time while i'm working around with kubuntu, sometimes occurs when i'm not in the range of a wifi hotspot, it might be the network manager? it's really annoying when i'm doing important stuff cause i have to wait 'till it comes back, any suggestion on this? thanks in advance [04:35] what the bleeep is going on with my system [04:35] heh heh [04:42] islington: something is terribly wrong [04:42] islington: maybe there was an error during install or something because now I'm having trouble launching my root terminal [04:42] I'm going to remove and try to install it over again === cesar_ is now known as Guest35943 [05:07] Hi all [05:07] algun español? === murilo is now known as Murilo_FS [06:44] Hi there!

[11:51] Lewiis: that's what it is here for - you have to be patient sometimes tho [11:52] okay, thanks for the help. first time on so i'm unsure of the ettiquette.

If I try to click on an where I think a button should of been, I get werid TV like lines popup and I'm unable to see any elements of it. The background is fine [14:25] and some elements that exists on first install appears fine as well. But without being able to see any of the taskbar elements at all, I am.. stuck as to how to fix it.
