Using kpackagekit and searching for it, it does not show up [00:23] let me check mine [00:24] it shows up as 'envyng' [00:25] but another thing worth trying to get it is 'sudo apt-get install envyng' [00:25] i did [00:25] cant find it [00:26] brb === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [00:39] As soon as i tried to build a custom ship [00:42] caprea_: still no go [00:43] if you download the latest driver form nvidia it should modify the x11 conf directly [00:46] ok [00:48] gotta get out of X [00:48] brb === fernando is now known as Guest93796 [00:55] iam in the right place to make a question?

[01:34] wrr_: you're not the only one. #ubuntu+1 is the lucid 10.04 support channel [01:34] hh [01:36] Should I reinstall the system? [01:36] wrr_: you can try to get it working. like I said, your problem is not uncommon in lucid at this stage [01:38] thank you,maybe I could do it after the beta comes out [01:40] wrr_: beta was out, now it's RC [01:41] wrr_: make sure you've got the latest packages installed: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:42] really?Let me try it [01:43] How can I replace a default package with the latest?

[01:46] And will that cause conflicts with KPackageKit ? [01:47] caprea_: lucid will be released in a week. it has kopete version 1.0.0 [01:47] ... no from what I can tell :| [01:47] oh, well I can wait a week, thanks [01:47] it seems it only does all or none [01:47] caprea_: just remove it with-> sudo apt-get remove kopete; and then install the new one [01:49] caprea_: actually kopete 1.0.0 comes with kde4.4, which you could install now in karmic. see the link in !topic [01:49] !topic [01:49] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:57] ? [01:58] Guest4991: in debian-based distributions, su is not enabled, and thus you need to use 'sudo' :), is done as a precautionary rule [01:58] I think I've done "sudo su" on ubuntu [01:58] if you must 'su', you can always do -> sudo su; howeve is rather discouraged :) [01:59] so whats the sudo command to elevate that terminals priv [01:59] sudo is the command [01:59] caprea_: yeah, so have I, I like su too, but I can do without, I guess I understand their concern [01:59] im a new linux user and not understanding [01:59] heheh [01:59] typing just sudo shows its usage .. how do i actually elevate [02:00] you're new and you want to use a feature you dunno? I don't get that [02:00] okay a normal user might type "mkdir temp" [02:00] Guest4991: sudo [02:00] if you dont have write permission, you might, instead, to "sudo mkdir temp" [02:01] i come from suse and found I had to su all the time for things, just curious of the equiv and how it differs .. [02:01] and 'mkdir' means "make directory" so if you didnt have persmission to make a directory then adding sudo tot he front would give persmission [02:01] i see [02:01] you can try "sudo su" if you must [02:01] Guest4991: so have I, I'd run suse10, so [02:01] or sudo -s [02:01] that clears it up caprea .. i didnt understand suda was a prefix to other commands, i thought i needed to elevate with sudo before my command [02:02] suse has both by the way, 'su' and 'sudo' as well, in ubuntu is just only 'sudo' for the sake of avoiding some folks messing up accidentally [02:02] yast drove me away from suse, just to install klibido and pypar2 was a headache, enough of that [02:02] ?

First with kubuntu 9.04 I lost sound, now with kubuntu 10.04 I have lost wireless networking [07:23] Is there a reason why the hardware support is degrading as I am upgrade through the various distro releases? [07:25] CPrgmSwR2: unlucky, I think. for me, hardware support is improving [07:27] iconmefisto: naturally you would think that should be the case [07:28] CPrgmSwR2: and still no sound in 10.04? [07:28] Yep [07:28] I had sound in the 8.10 release I beleive [07:28] its been a long long time [07:29] CPrgmSwR2: I've never had sound working on this laptop, until lucid, I can now get sound with headphones, but from the mic jack! I guess that's an improvement :) [07:30] I do have sound from the head phone jack actually, it just doesn't come out of the laptop speakers, which does me no good [07:30] I like to have the sound of instance messages and other notifications [07:31] kde4 is really awsome [07:31] Just hardware support sucks [07:32] iconmefisto: I guess what I need to do is order a dell linux system [07:37] CPrgmSwR2: have you asked about it in #ubuntu+1 (lucid support channel) [07:45] hey [07:46] is anyone there?

[13:05] Because there's no update manager..... [13:06] And another thing, does anyone know how to get flash working on Kubuntu...? [13:06] sudo apt-get update Hugo_ [13:06] !flash [13:06] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:08] Another thing.... [13:08] Um.. [13:08] It said to search for flashplugin-installer [13:08] I did that in Adept Package Manager [13:08] And it found that it was already installed? [13:08] So shouldn't Youtube work already? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [13:11] err I don't do youtube here [13:12] !gnash [13:12] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [13:13] Thanks :) [13:14] I think I know why though [13:14] I was using Konqueror [13:14] Hugo_: What version of kubuntu are you running? [13:14] And it should work on Mozilla? [13:14] 9.10? [13:14] Earlier I got the GNU Grub 1.97beta thing? [13:14] Ok, then you should be using kpack, and not adept.. [13:14] And I couldn't run Kubuntu [13:14] I had to uninstall kubuntu [13:14] format my hard drive [13:14] And re-install [13:15] Now there is a way to fix the GNU Grub 1.97beta in terminal right? [13:15] Yep [13:16]
