apple_catHi, I'm having some problems getting the screen brightness hotkeys to work on my laptop. Changing brightness in the power menu doesn't take effect untill after a reboot, and the hot keys do not up the brightness osd07:00
iconmefistoapple_cat: systemsettings > regional & language, keyboard layout. enable keyboard layouts and choose a keyboard model that matches something close to your keyboard07:06
apple_caticonmefisto: Could you explain why you're suggesting that ? I'm not sure I see the link07:08
iconmefistoapple_cat: your keyboard is not changing brightness, right?07:09
apple_caticonmefisto: Yes that's right, but I think it's a problem with the power control rather than the keyboard shortcuts. The reason for this assumption is that changing the brighness level in the power saving modes doesn't have an effect untill after I reboot the system07:11
apple_catPower management menu*07:12
iconmefistoapple_cat: do other hotkeys work? eg, sound volume?07:14
apple_caticonmefisto: Yep, everything else works fine07:15
apple_catalso xev registers the key presses as "XF86MonBrightnessUp/Down" so it just seems to be something funny with the power management07:19
apple_catDo you think I should report this as a bug? I haven't reported a bug before so I might need a few pointers07:21
iconmefistoapple_cat: if you have an idea what package has the bug, ubuntu-bug <package-name> will start a program that asks you questions, collects debugging info, and then takes you to the launchpad website to file the bug07:26
iconmefistoapple_cat: at the website, you'll be shown a list of bugs that are possibly what you are having07:27
iconmefisto!bug07:27
ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots07:27
iconmefistoapple_cat: the main thing is to try not to file a duplicate bug07:29
apple_caticonmefisto:  how do I know what package is the one with the bug and not just the one showing the bug ?07:29

zusso anyone 12 days till lucid, would that mean that the beta is stable enough to use and maybe upgrade from to final?08:36
Tm_Tzus: no, if you have to ask (:08:36
Tm_Tthere is a reason why it's not released yet08:37
zusim still on karmic. this would be the 2nd distribution Ive seen. cant wait - it's like xmas08:40
Tm_Tzus: like, just a bit better08:41
vivekHi whenever I use sudo apt-get update  and enter the password.. it goes through the entire hit process and gets stuck up at 99% like this-->99%[waiting for headers]08:41
vivekcan someone help08:41
zusi get stuck too but only for a minute08:42
vivekhowever after sometime it says"W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: Unknown error executing gpgv "08:42
zussometimes...though depends on the last time i've updated08:42
vivekand this->"W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/Release "08:43
vivekso what is this08:43
Tm_Tvivek: you have installed Chrome?08:43
vivekTm_T:yes08:43
vivekTm_T:it also says this>"W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. "08:44
Tm_Thum, that explains why you have that repository08:44
Tm_Tvivek: those are warnings which you can ignore for now08:44
=== delight_ is now known as delight
vivekTm_T:what repository?08:44
Tm_Tvivek: http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/Release08:44
vivekTm_T:I can get rid of chrome if needed08:44
Tm_Tno it's not needed really08:45
vivekTm_T:or should i remove the repository08:45
Tm_Tvivek: if you wait few minutes, will apt-get get thru nicely?08:45
zusi just updated and got the same error BUT im using chrome as my browser at moment08:45
Tm_Tye, they have possibly moved their repositories without updating repository information via apt-get08:46
zusi do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade08:46
Tm_T...or simply they should do redirect08:46
vivekTm_T:when i do sudo apt-get update I have umpteen hits but only one get and that too like this:--08:50
vivekTm_T:Get:2 http://dl.google.com stable Release [2,540B]                                                                                           Tm_T:Get:2 http://dl.google.com stable Release [2,540B]08:51
iconmefistochromium is an alternative to chrome. it's faster, but the ppa is a nightly so you get upgrades constantly08:51
Tm_Tvivek: then it's all ok08:51
vivekTm_T:iconmefisto:yes i have seen my update manager in the tray wrking sometimes automatically08:51
vivekTm_T:should i remove the repository08:52
vivekTm_T:iconmefisto:is this not wrong that they have put this repository here , withhout asking me08:53
vivekor without me knowing08:53
Tm_Tvivek: well, that's the "automatic upgrades" thingy for that browser08:57
Tm_Tvivek: but yes I agree, it should be mentioned somewhere, and possibly is too08:57
vivekTm_T:guys one basic doubt... sounds quite naive but.. still..."are chromium browser and google chrome two different things"08:58
vivekTm_T:I want to remove google chrome .. how do i do08:58
Tm_Tvivek: they are closely same, other is google branded and so on08:59
iconmefistovivek: this is the ppa for chromium: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa (you can have both chrome and chromium installed)08:59
vivekTm_T:but I guess i use google chrome and not chromium08:59
Tm_Tvivek: indeed you do08:59
vivekTm_T:I want to remove it and put chromium there.. how do i purge it09:00
iconmefistovivek: sudo apt-get remove chrome09:00
iconmefistovivek: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa  (to add the chromium ppa)09:01
vivekiconmefisto: I have heard the purge command is better when it comes to remove.. it removes it completely.. is it true09:01
Tm_Tvivek: it removes config files too, yes09:01
iconmefistovivek: purge removes your settings too. so if you reinstall, any settings will not be there09:01
Tm_Tvivek: except your personal settings09:02
vivekiconmefisto:Tm_T:so should i use purge or remove.. but why would i need the settings of chrome anyway09:02
Tm_Tvivek: purge is better in that case09:02
vivekTm_T: as long as it does not affect other config files of the system09:03
Tm_Tit doesn't09:03
Tm_Tif does, somebody is doing something horribly wrong09:03
vivekSo shall i go ahead with purge the command being sudo apt-get purge google chrome.. please check it iconmefisto:09:04
Tm_Tvivek: no, not "google chrome" but just "chrome"09:04
Tm_TI think09:04
vivekTm_T:ok .. so here we go09:05
viveksudo apt-get purge chrome09:05
iconmefistovivek: or it might be google-chrome09:05
Tm_T(:)09:05
vivekiconmefisto:guysssss..... ok let me first put google chrome and then chrome09:05
iconmefistovivek: use tab completion and see what comes up. type goo <tab> or chr <tab>09:06
vivekNo it is not google-chrome it says so to remove09:06
vivekiconmefisto: ok09:06
vivekiconmefisto: in both cases nothing comes ..lol09:07
iconmefistovivek: apt-cache search google chrome09:08
vivekiconmefisto:google-chrome-beta - The web browser from Google....google-chrome-unstable-The web browser from google09:08
vivekiconmefisto:Tm_T:neither purge chrome nor purge google-chrome works09:09
iconmefistovivek: ok, google-chrome-beta09:09
iconmefistoand remove google-chrome-unstable in case that's the one you have installed09:10
vivekiconmefisto:I have purged google-chrome-beta .. now shall i purge google-chrome-unstable too09:11
vivekiconmefisto:purge or remove for google-chrome-unstable09:11
zusim a bit lost, is chromium and chrome 2 different web browsers?09:11
vivekzus:lol i came to know it 10 minutes ahead of you09:11
zusi just got back and was re reading09:12
iconmefistozus: chrome is google's branded version of opensource chromium09:12
zusbut now im confused...09:12
zusi see09:12
vivekiconmefisto:tried purging google-chrome unstable .. it says cant find the package09:13
zusi thought i  had chrome, when in fact in the kmenu it says chromium web browser09:13
iconmefistovivek: it seems it's not installed09:13
zuswith the pokeball being blue rather than the yellow and red09:13
vivekzus:cool .. so you already have chromium..how is it much different09:14
vivekis it worth having chromium.. my firefox almost does everything.. i installed chrome because one nut friend of mine insisted me on having it09:14
zusvivek,  well, i have  never used chrome, and i thought i had it, but after checking  i am using chromium,...09:15
zusvivek,  SAME here09:15
iconmefistovivek: it's almost the same. it's faster and more up-to-date, and has a different set of colours in the icon09:15
vivekiconmefisto: hmmm i think  i will stay with firefox as of now.. why have chromium09:16
iconmefistovivek: I use firefox too, but I like to have other browsers just in case I need them09:16
vivekiconmefisto:ok how do i install chromium09:16
zuschomium vs firefox  for me and  my opinion,  chromium is 1-faster 2- doesnt get bogged with add-ons 3-his point was less tool bar space =more window to look at...09:17
iconmefistovivek: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa (to add the chromium ppa)09:17
vivekiconmefisto:done09:17
iconmefistovivek: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser09:18
zusi had 9 different add-ons  in firefox and it did EVERYTHING and more for me. i love read it later book mark,  with crhomium though i have 4 extention adn 6 bookmarklets and i do everything except download videos like in FF09:19
vivekiconmefisto:work in progress09:19
zusi now almost exclusively use FF for offline use and chromium when im online,.09:20
vivekiconmefisto:remember I had asked  you once about the desktop activities.. i figured it out ultimately09:20
zuscan you have both chrome and chromium installed at once?09:21
vivekzus:why what is the diff why dont you use firefox for online as well09:21
iconmefistozus: yes09:21
zusvivek, i still dont understand deesktop activities, so i dont use it yet.09:21
vivekzus:i have figured it out .. do you want to know09:21
zusvivek,  i find chromium for me is faster, slightly but enough for me to switch, and more screen less tool bar09:22
zusvivek,  please if you dont  mind explaining desktop activities...09:22
vivekzus: ok... i will tell you my experience of chromium after i use it09:23
sebastianohi, whats the best way to upgrade to lucid in kubuntu?09:23
vivekzus:to understand dekstop activities and its importance first , configure your system to have only one virtual desktop.. that is only one desktop.. click on the pager .. and set number of dtops to 109:24
zusvivek,  i personally felt it was a terrible decision in the first 24-48 hours. but i have grown to enjoy it (chromium)09:24
vivekzus:24-48 hours.. well let me see09:24
daniel__i amusing chromium right now09:24
vivekzus: did you enable only one dtop09:25
zusvivek, ok desktop set,... yeah give it a real good  use for  a few days09:25
vivekdaniel_:how is it better than firefox09:25
petohi all09:26
petoi have kubuntu and my pc start as ubuntu...why?...how can I change it?09:26
daniel__does anyone know how to enable facebook chat in kopete in lucid beta 2 netbook?09:26
zusvivek,  speed and the bookmarklets are a javascript code so extensions don't wiegh it down imo09:26
vivekzus:now click on the cashew on the top and click zoom out.. you will find your screen reduced to a small block on the left top...then click dtop activities .. a new screen will emerge on the right hand side.. install any widgets on it09:27
iconmefistovivek: but why reduce to one virtual desktop?09:27
vivekzus:then again click on the first screen desktop activities .. on more screen will appear and go ahead and add widgets , wallppaper etc on it09:27
vivekiconmefisto:the reason is that only then will one understand the difference in having many virtual desktops with their own widgets and having one dtop with many activities09:28
iconmefistovivek: ok, I see09:29
zusvivek,  sec09:29
vivekzus:wait09:29
daniel__i am Knux21 on the ubuntuforums.org website and also on kubuntuforums.net09:29
daniel__hieveryone09:30
vivekzus: once you have done that .. click on the small zoom icon below the small screens to return to where you are09:30
iconmefistothe way I think of it is this: virtual desktops are just a collection of open windows, but desktop activities are real desktops, with different widgets, wallpapers, etc09:30
daniel__can anyone help me with a kubuntu poblem?09:30
iconmefistopeto: so you have ubuntu, and then installed kubuntu-desktop ?09:31
vivekiconmefisto:you can do that in virtualdtops too.. each virtual dtop can be configured to have its own widgets, wallpapers etc09:31
zusvivek,  im adding widgets still and checking this out... one sec09:31
vivekzus:are you back09:31
iconmefistovivek: yes, you can do that by setting each virt desktop to have its own activity09:32
vivekzus:once you return back.. try switching to the various different dtops you have anabled09:32
zuswhat is the pastebin and the paste widgets?09:33
petoiconmefisto i think yes09:33
petonoo09:33
petoiconmefisto i have kubuntu09:33
vivekiconmefisto:that is it... now on each of these dtops .. you can set any number of activities and can actually give you a great experience.. say i have only on e dtop and i cofigure 4 activities on it.. then with one d top ican actully have 5 dtops.. now it des sound confusing09:33
peto:D:D09:33
vivekiconmefisto:you have solved this problem once earlier.. the same problem which peto has..09:34
