jacob_hello, I have an ati radeon X800, and under System Settings->Desktop Effects it says "Compositing not supported". Could someone please help me to identify the problem? I can not find a compatability list saying this card doesn't support compositing, so I think there is a system error somewhere03:46

Borg^Queenhi people, I'm not using kubuntu, but I am (for the moment) using another kde centric distro and I need help. As it seems the devels for this distro have disappeared. When I plugin a usb drive, it no longer appears in kwikdisk (or fstab). We are using hotplug (I know, old) it was working fine up until 5 hrs ago. Does anyone have any idea what, if any middle app is used to modify the fstab?07:12
geniiBorg^Queen: Perhaps try #kde channel for generalized assistance07:14
Borg^Queengenii: been there07:15
Borg^Queenwaited for 5 hrs,07:16
geniiBorg^Queen: Alternately find a distribution which also uses kwikdisk (like mepis)07:16
Borg^Queengenii: looking into it now, but doesn't resolve the problem at hand.07:16
Borg^Queenkubuntu has kwikdisk as well, just need to add it07:17
Borg^Queenare you happy with it, kubuntu?07:17
=== ybit3 is now known as ybit

Borg^QueenI'm guessing it used kde4 now07:19
vivek_KDE4.4.2 is great07:19
Borg^Queenlol thank you vivek_07:19
geniiBorg^Queen: I'm getting used to it. I had 3.5 for a long time.07:20
vivek_you are welcome Borg^Queen:07:20
Borg^QueenI was a heavy debian using for 4 years but it became too obsolete07:20
Borg^Queengenii: currently on 3.5.x07:20
Borg^QueenWhat I want is a kde centric distro with a real community, and a collection of rude people07:21
Borg^QueenI know it sounds silly but I don't want to send a noobie into a channel where they will be abused.07:21
Borg^QueenI recycle computers and donate them to children, the elder and home bound, these people are very sensitive07:22
geniiBorg^Queen: If these computers are somewhat lower specs you may want to consider a lighter desktop than kde4 (such as xfce or so)07:23
Borg^QueenP3s and P4s07:23
Borg^QueenDecent ram, they run the distro I'm using now with full KDE 3.5.x, no difficulties07:24
Borg^Queenfor really old stuff, I use puppy07:24
geniiYes, thats a good choice07:24
Borg^QueenIts got bite!07:24
geniiWe grow offtopic from Kubuntu support .. :) Luckily it's slow here at this time.07:25
Borg^Queenanyway I'll see what I can do about fixing my problem on my own. I've emailed bero, the founder, about it.07:25
Borg^Queenaye, I don't believe a channel should be so topic ridged but aye.07:25
geniiBorg^Queen: Which distribution are you currently on?07:26
Borg^QueenArk Linux, I've been using it for years, but our lead dev has disappeared and they rest of us are just learning.07:26
Borg^QueenIts a great distro but outdated now and only bero knows the deeps workings07:27
Borg^Queenanother reason I'm considering abandoning it as well07:28
Borg^Queenbut I want a kde centric distro07:29
geniiUbuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu has a very active community07:30
Borg^Queenaye, but are they friendly, as I said, the people I deal with are always wounded by society.07:30
geniiBorg^Queen: We're here being friendly to you, are we not?07:31
Borg^QueenOh terribly mean07:31
Borg^Queenlol07:31
Borg^QueenI'll let it go for night, it late. Tomorrow I'll dl and test kubuntu as well as do research on a replacement. Either way, thank you for your time.07:32

kalipusibelouis: use the gnome network manager17:00
ibelouisi didnt see that, i used the one that popped up on taskbar17:01
kalipusit works for me better and has more options17:01
daskreechibelouis: how far into connecting does it get?17:01
ibelouisdont think it was gnome though17:01
ibelouissays connecting, aqquring address, disconencts17:01
kalipusu can use the gnome one on kubuntu, no problem ;)17:02
ibelouispops up asking for password numerous times too17:02
ibelouiseven on unsecure it pops up asking if theres a password17:02
kalipusits buggy ^^17:02
ibelouishow do i go about installing the gnome one on kde?17:03
ibelouisoffline install obviously17:03
kalipusnever worked for me on umts, and i was annoying so set up any little detail, so i use the gnome one, which has a great setup17:03
kalipusbette to get the pc via wire online, offline is little difficult cause of depends.17:04
ibelouisif i had a 100ft cable layin around it might reach17:04
ibelouisbut thats not an option =\17:04
kalipus^^17:05
kalipuslook what u need and download it: http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/jaunty/network-manager-gnome17:06
ibelouisthose will work on 10.0.2 kubuntu?17:07
kalipusdont know17:07

ibelouiswouldnt it be easier downlaoding the whole gnome install disc and installing from that?17:08
kalipusdont think there are the packages on17:09
kalipusdont know, sorry17:09
kalipusoffline install sucks, get a cafe, drink a coffee and use there wlan :)17:09

ibelouisthought about setting up tethering on my iphone again and trying it17:11
ibelouisdidnt kno if kubuntu would pick it up though17:11
kalipusor u insatll first ubuntu and then the kde enviorment17:12
kalipusi am also not very comfortable with wlan problems, always used a wire :)17:13
ibelouisi did to, til i caught ex cheating and moved back with mom til i finish school17:13
ibelouisits all wireless here though since modem/router at far end of house17:14

geronimo_Is there some kind of help page for missing sound support in kubuntu lucid lynx beta (Flash/Skype)18:23

geronimo_maco: did my question destroy your point? ^^18:24
iconmefisto_ok, rebooting now, back soon18:25

macogeronimo_: do you ahve other programs running that use sound at the same time? flash likes ot hog the device18:25
geronimo_maco: yes I have that, I use 64 bit btw18:26
geronimo_maco: installed kubuntu-restricted-extras like right away18:26
macotry closing other programs that use sound, closing your browser, then starting the browser back up. then flash might have sound while other stuff wont18:26
geronimo_maco: you don't consider this a solution, do you?18:26
macopersonally, using pulseaudio seems to make things easier for me, but i know some people think it breaks worse on kde18:26
BluesKajgeronimo_, did you install kubuntu-restricted-extras ?18:27
macoBluesKaj: geronimo_ just said they did18:27
BluesKajo0k, sorry geronimo_18:27

macogeronimo_: no its not a solution to the fact that adobe writes crappy code :)18:27
BluesKajwas distracted18:27
geronimo_maco: what about skype then?18:27
geronimo_maco: getting the feeling, that it's some kind of KDE problem, worked in ubuntu, all aside18:28
geronimo_maco: like flash, exaile, skype18:28
macogeronimo_: for me, using flash 10 and the pulse-aware skype with pulseaudio and setting pulse to be default device in systemsettings is what works best, because pulse will handle mixing instead of letting flash hog the device18:28
macogeronimo_: ubuntu uses pulseaudio. kubuntu doesn't.18:28
geronimo_maco: it uses jack, right?18:28
macono18:28
macokubuntu doesnt use either18:28
geronimo_okay18:29
BluesKajok, geronimo_ , some ppl think pulseaudio is a problem on their setups and some solve it by removing it.18:29

macogeronimo_: no, you go to systemsettings, click on multimedia, and set pulseaudio as the default.  i'd reboot afterward to make sure it all starts in the right order18:30
macoiconmefisto: yeah, just neither is default18:30
geronimo_looks like I have jack installed18:30
iconmefistogeronimo_: some audio apps might have it as a dependency18:31
BluesKajmaco, I just remove it , my audio setup is simple stereo so alsa by itself works fine18:31
macogeronimo_: you might want to try to get help from crimsun. i think he knows how to make jack play nice18:32
iconmefistousually jack is started/stopped manually before starting an audio app that uses it for low latency audio18:33

jhambofor some reason doing a aptitude purge kmail doesn't get rid of the config files like I thought it would19:03
vinceso have you tried my method ?19:03
vinceusually i go manually, it's the only way to know for sure19:04
jhambovince: goood god! it worked!!! I probably bashed my head on this for 6 hours since yesterday.  I got all side tracked into trying to fiddle with the akonadi server19:05
jhamboyour method worked19:05
vinceusually when something goes wrong with an app, deleting the config files manually is the best option19:06
vinceglad to hear it worked19:06
antonio_hi19:06
vincehi19:07
jhamboyes many many thanks.  Now I'm off to understand what aptitude purge actually does...19:07
Delemir /agree with vince i do this all the times19:07
vinceI think it deletes all the packages you downloaded and that are not used anymore19:08
jhambovince: got it - purge deletes the system wide config but never touches the user home directories19:14
vincejhambo: cheers I didn't know that19:16
aryone question: I'm using ubuntu 9.10 with kde 4.3. I want to install kde 4.4. I read that I need to use Kubuntu PPA Backports (4.4)19:26
arydoing: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports19:27
arymy question is: it'll upgrade to kde 4.4 or to the current backport version?19:27
aryhello???19:34
moetunesary: I've never done it but try   apt-cache search kde4   to check19:36
vinceI did19:37
vinceI just followed to instructions on kde.org19:37
vincenope sorry, kubuntu.org19:37
vinceyou might have to reinstall plasma-desktop though19:38
vinceor delete your current kde config files and let kde 4.4 recreate them19:38
vincehttp://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.4.219:39
vinceary:19:39
aryvince: okey... but my question is: Does the backports has only kde 4.4 or will it change for new version every time19:40
aryfor example: kde4.4 then kde 4.5 then 4.6 ...etc19:40
vinceI think you will have the option to upgrade everytime thee is a new version yeah19:40
vincevia kpackagekit19:40
vincei started out with kde 4.419:40
vinceand I had the option to upgrade to 4.4.119:41
vincethen 4.4.219:41
vincekpackagekit will let you know :)19:41
aryahh okey. But backports doesn't work only with 4.4.x.? Maybe later it will change for 4.5 for example19:42
vinceThat I don't know19:42
vinceIt's not gonna change to 4.5 anytime soon though19:42
txwikingerary: packages are tested before they go into backport19:45
txwikingerbackport does not contain experimental stuff.. for that there are other ppas19:46
arytxwikinger: and what happend if today backports have 4.4 and tomorrow they have 4.5? My kde 4.4 will change when I try to upgrade it.19:47
arymaybe it's a problem for me :(19:47
txwikingerWell... as long as you do not set upgrades to be done automatically, you have to manually do it19:47
arytxwikinger: okey... yes19:48
txwikingerbtw... you can always look with "apt-cache policy <packagename>" what the different versions are that are reachable for you19:48
aryyes...19:49
txwikingerand when you change the repo/ppa list and do an "sudo apt-get update" it will change19:49
txwikingerSo you can take out the backports after your upgrade if you do not want to upgrade again19:49
arytxwikinger: I'll install a minimal ubuntu, then I'll append repo/ppa, and then I'll install kde 4.419:50

arytxwikinger: this the reason for that I want to install ubuntu with kde and not kubuntu19:55
txwikingerWell. Kubuntu is KDE+19:55
txwikingerand the packages in the ppa have additional stuff... maybe not a lot, but there is some stuff19:56
arytxwikinger: for example?19:56
txwikingerthe notification system19:56

icf7luis_: Uninstall currently installed version, download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pokerth/PokerTH-0.7.1-linux-installer.bin?use_mirror= , open Konsole, type  sh Desktop/Pok*21:26
luis_ok21:28
luis_actually i haven't installed yet21:29
luis_cd21:29
luis_}21:29
icf7luis_: Well, I'd prefer installing the Kubuntu version, just cause you get all the dependencies21:29
icf7sheytan_: Why can't you make the backup? ( http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2010/04/21/9999675.aspx )21:29
luis_and the command you gave says: Can't open Desktop/Pok*21:30
icf7luis_: Did you download the file?21:30
icf7luis_: and if so, into which directory? I just assumed Firefox and default settings21:30
luis_i did download a file from the sourceforge21:31
luis_it's a src.tar.bz2 file21:31
luis_the file is on my desktop21:31
icf7luis_: pls reread what I wrote. the .tar.bz2 is for developers21:31
icf7luis_: You need http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pokerth/PokerTH-0.7.1-linux-installer.bin?use_mirror=21:31
luis_the thing is that in the pokerth web they say old version cannot connect to internet anylonger, they said that i need the current version21:32
luis_so i have tried to do it but i just can't21:32
icf7luis_: You can't download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pokerth/PokerTH-0.7.1-linux-installer.bin?use_mirror=  ?21:32
luis_i can but the pokerth version in the repos is an old version and it won't connect to internet21:33
icf7luis_: Sry, I can't follow. Which pokerth version do you need?21:34
luis_this one21:34
luis_that's the one21:34
luis_but everything goes fine but then after installing it ADEPT MANAGER keeps telling me to update it and i do it, but it for some reason the system won't update it21:35
icf7luis_: The current version of pokerth is 0.7.1. I advised you on how to install it, but you didn't seem to read anything I wrote21:36
icf7luis_: The current version in the hardy repository is indeed 0.6, and probably too old21:36
luis_sorry about that21:36
luis_i am downloading the one you gave me21:37
luis_this one suppose to be open with wine but for some reason wine won't open ot21:37
luis_opne it*21:38
luis_open cit**21:38
icf7luis_: No, it's not supposed to be opened with wine.21:38
icf7luis_: Have you downloaded http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pokerth/PokerTH-0.7.1-linux-installer.bin?use_mirror=  ?21:39
luis_i did21:39
luis_it is in my desktop21:40
icf7ok, please press Alt+F2, enter konsole, press Enter21:40
icf7luis_: A black window should appear now. Right?21:40
luis_right21:40
icf7luis_: Type (or copy)   cd Desktop && chmod a+x Poker*21:41
icf7luis_:  (and press enter)21:41
icf7luis_: Got it?21:41
luis_ok21:42
luis_it took me to desktop21:42
icf7luis_: excellent. Now enter sudo ./Poker* . You'll need to give Ubuntu your password to install pokerth21:42
luis_wow awsome21:43
icf7luis_: Does that mean it works?21:44
luis_it's done can't believe i send last night tryoing to do it21:44
luis_thanks a lot men21:44

appleseedHi guys; I'm really hoping someone can help me here. I have a fresh lucid on a new pc which uses [Intel HDA] audio which works in Amarok, although when I try to play sound in Mplayer I get:22:30
Ahmed\Does ubuntu gets Virus ? i mean Does it ?22:30
appleseed[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1293:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy22:30
appleseed[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Device or resource busy22:30
appleseedFailed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=hw=0.0'22:31
Ahmed\I am using it from a month works just FINE HUH where were i until now stickin to windows @_@22:31
Typos_KingAhmed\:      any OS can get 'viruses', I don't believe there are any exemptions to such, is just a matter of taking the time, and most take for win32 platforms, so22:32
Ahmed\HUH22:32
appleseedI've tried many things, but even with alsa_oss installed the sound seems to work only either on Mplayer or Amarok, but never at the same time.22:33
Ahmed\I don't have any anti virus for this or firewall, do i need anyting like that ?22:33
=== adriana is now known as virgilio
Typos_KingAhmed\:   there are a few antivirus apps for *nix too by the way, but their security is in safer fashion then other OSes22:34
Ahmed\umm22:34
appleseedIs this an HD-Audio issue, because I distinctly remember it working on AC97 with exactly the same software, just on another pc22:35
Ahmed\And firewalls ? i wish there was something like Looknstop22:35
Typos_KingAhmed\:   the chances of you getting one in the near future is highly unlikely and even if gotten the chances of it making serious damage is also no likely too22:35
Typos_KingAhmed\:     linux has firewall built-in the kernel, sooooo, you don't need to install any22:35
Ahmed\HHHHHHHHHHHH Thanks a lot for the info really22:36
Typos_Kingappleseed:    can't say... have you tried other players?  maybe is just Mplayer's settings for 'audio output device'22:36
appleseedTypos_King: atm I'm running both Amarok and Dragon Player with both playing sound at the same time22:37
mentis_plhi, i have a ... problem ... i dont have 'up' arrow in dolphin ;P meaning the button to go up the tree... only back and forward... how to bring it on the screen ?22:37
appleseedbut I've tried all the Mplayer audio settings and none works, so maybe it's some obscure mplayer library I have to install22:38
Typos_Kingappleseed:   maybe.... :), I use Xine-UI, which works peachy :), so22:38
appleseedTypos_King: can you play videos with vdpau acc. ?22:39
Typos_Kingvdpau acc?  who?22:39
Typos_Kingdid you mean .aac?22:39
appleseedlol, nvidia acceleration22:39
appleseedlibvdpau122:40
Typos_King.... I dont have an nvidia videocard... I have an intel one :|22:40
appleseedoh, can you play hd movies smoothly?22:40
Typos_Kingmy other machine has nvidia, a 32mbs one.. and played fine movies/dvds fine in xine-ui too, I can on this one as well22:41
appleseedmaybe I'll try xine-ui22:41
appleseedbut this mplayer sound issue is going to nag at me forever22:41
Typos_Kingand the nvidia one also played streams asx/wmv in mplayer as well, which is the only thing I use mplayer for, saving streams :)22:42
appleseedmaybe I'll just switch to AC97 in the bios, I wouldn't know the difference between HD and that as I just use earphones anyway22:43
appleseedI was listening to audio on Amarok, but it wouldn't work in Mplayer, then I installed alsa_oss and tried again, suddenly sound worked on Mplayer and Amarok stopped with 'HDA Intel device not working, switching...'22:47
appleseedalthough I can play sound on Amarok and Dragon Player at the same time22:48
appleseedIf I close Amarok the sound works in Mplayer22:50
Typos_Kinghehe22:51
Typos_Kingnot sure on mplayer, but I know you can change the device for audio output in amarok22:51
Ahmed\What's the difference between BASH and Terminal and Konsol i wonder @_@22:51
appleseedonly one works though, HDA Intel22:51
Typos_Kingand that might have been it, the installation of the drivers change something in the global sound configurations22:52
appleseedI'm slowly losing my mind22:52

appleseedlol22:52
appleseedYou know I struggled the whole day just to make the builtin hibernation work, finding out after 12 hours that it was my USB3.0 that cannot be freezed22:53
Typos_KingAhmed\:     bash is a Shell OS, whenever you open a 'bash session' is also interchanged with a 'terminal session', and there are many clients y ou can use, Konsole is just the default for KDE environments22:53
appleseeda simple disable in BIOS was the answer22:53

appleseedHappy Day - I've found a solution. When I want to switch between Mplayer and Amarok, I can just stop the track or video completely and switch over, which is not so elegant but sufficient seeing that there's not much utility in listening to music and watching movies at the same time.23:23
appleseedThis however will not work if the track or movie is paused as the sound device is still engaged23:27
