avihayrmrfslash: I'm guessing you specifically want sun's jdk00:45
avihayif so, you can install sun-java6-jdk00:46
avihayotherwise, you can install deafult-jdk, and it will probably install open-jdk for you and not sun's version00:46

Taranteli've got an kingston 4 gb usbstick and there was a beta of kubuntu on it, but i somehow made it to "destroy" the whoole OS. now i've downloaded the ISO of Kubuntu again and i wantet to install, but there  is a partition which i can't get formatted under windows. I'm sorry for my bad english :D03:24
DarkriftXahhhh, xarchiver works great!!! none of the problems I have with ark are present (even though it does look kinda 1990's)03:24
DarkriftXwhy do you need to format a partition in windows?03:25
lespeaTarantel: I'm confused... you're trying to install kubuntu but then you say you're trying to format a partition in windows?03:25
DarkriftXuse a linux live cd to do it03:26
Taranteli watn to have the kubuntu OS on the usb stick so that i can boot from the usb stick on any computer03:26
Tarantel*want03:26
lespeabut why are you trying to format the partition in windows...03:27
Tarantelwell where else should i try it?03:27
DarkriftXwindows doesnt like linux partitions03:27
Tarantelthats my problem03:28
DarkriftXyou either need a special windows app (partition manager, expensive) or linux03:28
Tarantelk03:28
Tarantelso i should make a live cd?03:28
DarkriftXi wuold03:28
Tarantelokay03:28

Tarantelthanks for help ;)03:28
Tarantelumm03:28

Tarantelokay03:30
Tarantelthx ;)03:30

lespeaI haven't tried kde since 4.2 and it's come a looooong way03:58
lespeaI'm very impressed03:58
ForgeAusI need a new PC, I'm still stuck with 4.2.x somewhere along the line04:00
ForgeAusand I don't particularly want to start with a fresh distro04:00
ForgeAus(erm install I meant)04:00
daskreechTarantel: Welcome :)04:03
daskreechlespea: Drat should have waited 4 months for KDE 4.504:03
daskreechSome snazzy stuff coming04:03
daskreechBut wait till 4.6!04:03
lespeadaskreech: lol there's always something coming down the pipe :p04:04
daskreechlespea: I know i bloody hate KDE developers for that04:04
daskreechKDE 4.5 will be out in two weeks and they will start showing screenshots of what they have working so far for KDE 4.6 that missed the freeze for KDE 4.504:04
ForgeAushehe daskreech whats coming?04:04
daskreechI don't even have 4.5 yet and I can't wait for 4.6 STOP IT Just please stop being so awesome and consistent in coding a great vision04:05
* daskreech cries in the corner04:05
ForgeAusI should download me some .iso's!04:05
daskreechForgeAus: Seen the new stuff for the System tray and the bluring algorithim they have ?04:05
ForgeAusI don't like blurring I prefer my transparency clear...04:06
ForgeAusthey trying to emulate windows or something?04:06
daskreechno it looks a bit better and where they are using it makes more sense04:06
ForgeAusas for the system tray no I don't know alot about KDE4 since 4.2.x04:06
daskreech Course you can just make a theme that rips off Windows 7 or 8 or Mobile somethingsomethign if you like04:07
ForgeAusdaskreech you mean not juts window decorators?04:07
daskreechThere are a lot less Window Decos and Themes than there used to be back in the day04:07
daskreechForgeAus: Nope like a library you can use it in apps or dialogs or animations04:07
Tarantelomfg04:08
ForgeAus(I think I should suggest a filter decorator for KDE :) .. ones that are, animated, and/or mod according to what they're ontop of... like colour-cycle04:08
Tarantellinux is so fantastic04:08
ForgeAusthat could be cute :)04:08
daskreechIt could be04:10
daskreechTarantel: It gets tiring after a while04:10
ForgeAusas in go a few steps further than transparency and make it magnify or work with what's behind the window...04:10
daskreechlike 9 years of constant fantasmically awesomnisity does start to burn away your nerve endings04:10

tew88Is it possible to apply different properties to various multiple desktops in Kubuntu? In particular, I'd like to have distinct wallpapers between my "work" and "play" desktops.13:07
James147tew88: yes, you need to enable different activities for each desktop13:11
James147tew88: on kde 4.4.x its located at System settings > Desktop > Multiple Desktops > Check "Different activity for each desktop"   dont know where it is on 4.3.x as i think it moved13:13

pawel__hi13:22
pawel__I am using Kubuntu Lucid and I think there's serious memory leak in xorg13:23
pawel__it's raising quickly to over 100MB13:23
pawel__I used Arch Linux before and it stayed about 30-40MB13:23
pawel__I'm using Radeon OS driver13:24
rorkpawel__: lucid is supported in #ubuntu+113:24
pawel__ok, thank you13:24
James147pawel__: its unlikly to eb xorg,  xorg takes some of the processing done by other programs so if another one misbehaves it sometimes looks like xorg is13:24
James147pawel__: try closing some of your other programs currently running that might be taking up lots of memory and see what happens13:25
pawel__James147: ok, I'll try13:25
pawel__James147: I don't have anything special running and Xorg is using 75MB right now; without Konversation it can raise to 100MB very easily too13:28
pawel__James147: I'll check if the problem remains without compositions13:28
tew88James147: It seems "Activities" are distinct from multiple desktops -- not sure I'm in the mood to configure a new workspace from scratch again!13:30
James147tew88: they are, its the only way to get a differnt wallpaper though13:30
tew88James147: Yeah, so it seems. Thanks for the pointer - I'll go for a fresh setup when I install 10.04 =)13:31
pawel__James147: xorg memory usage is much higher with compositions enabled, raises quicly to 75 and with some programs like Firefox it raises above 100MB after some time13:38
pawel__quickly*13:38
James147pawel__: yeah, firefox has always been abit memory hungery :)13:39
pawel__maybe this is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/9878313:39
pawel__yes, however under Arch (so probably different X server version) it wasn't that bad ;)13:39
James147pawel__: possibally, also different versions of the applications you where running could affect it13:41
pawel__James147L that's right, I'll ask at ubuntu+1 too, to be sure if there's no some mem leak13:41

starenkawhat didn;t work? updatedb18:46
starenka;)18:46
starenkai mean updatedb finished ok, but no change in the launcher18:46
BluesKajupdatedb doesn't tell you anything , it just updates the database , that's all18:47
starenkaand?18:47
BluesKajthe launcher wannabe katapult is somewhat unstable from the reports i've read18:48
starenkajoking? it's in kde 4 ever since18:48
BluesKajwell, do some research then ..i don't use launchers , i just pin apps to the the panel18:49
starenkanevermind it's called krunner18:49
starenkajust realized18:50
starenkacya thx18:50

EspiritoHi people? Somebody use DataBase Firebird here? I am having trouble installing with Synaptic and I'm not getting the command line with the package. Gz. Can anyone help me?19:02
inteliwaspi installed the nvidia drivers from the "hardware drivers" program and now i am unable to load kde, i get "fatal server error: no screens found"19:02
shadeslayerinteliwasp: oh just press alt+F2 and type ' konsole ' and hit enter19:02
BluesKajEspirito, make sure all your package sources are enabled in synaptic19:03
shadeslayerinteliwasp: done? now type : sudo nvidia-xconfig --composite : to generate your xorg.conf19:03
inteliwaspshadeslayer: um.... i'm stuck on the tty logins.....19:03
shadeslayerinteliwasp: oh then just run that commadn19:03
shadeslayer*command19:03
inteliwaspkk19:03
shadeslayerinteliwasp: then reboot and voila!19:03
BluesKajor just startx, inteliwasp19:04
EspiritoBluesKaj: I marked all the packages on 2.1 for the server, but it's always the same error: that the package firebird2.1-server-common_2.1.2.18118-0.ds1-4_amd64.deb is broken.19:04
shadeslayerBluesKaj: that wont give him shutdown and reboot options19:04
inteliwaspshadeslayer: i get a validation error19:04
shadeslayerinteliwasp: can you pastebin it? ( install pastebinit )19:05
BluesKajinteliwasp, perhaps stopping kdm/X first then sudo nvidi-xconfig might work ...sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop then after config ' restart'19:07
BluesKajerr, sudo nvidia-xconfig19:10
inteliwaspBluesKaj: that did not work19:10
inteliwaspshadeslayer: i did not get a coutom url with pastebinit19:10
BluesKajinteliwasp, did you do sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart , after sudo nvidia-xconfig ?19:14
inteliwaspBluesKaj: i still get the same error19:15
inteliwaspoh wait19:16
inteliwasp...19:16
* inteliwasp bangs head on table19:16
shadeslayerinteliwasp: you need to switch to tty 719:16
BluesKajshadeslayer, that'll work only if he had a desktop in the first place19:18
inteliwaspi gotta reboot, be back in a few19:18
inteliwaspthe nvidia config did not work19:22
BluesKajinteliwasp, which nvidia card ?19:23
inteliwaspBluesKaj: gforce 9800gt19:23
inteliwaspor gtx19:23
shadeslayerinteliwasp: hmm.. can you just run : sudo nvidia-xconfig : ?19:24
inteliwaspshadeslayer: let me try that...19:24
inteliwaspshadeslayer: it ran no errors19:25
inteliwaspstill no joy on tty719:26
shadeslayerinteliwasp: you need to do : sudo kdm19:26
shadeslayerafter the nvidia-xconfig command19:26
BluesKajinteliwasp, that card should run on the nvidia-current driver19:26
inteliwaspi ran "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart"19:27
BluesKajinteliwasp, drop to a tty ,stop kdm with sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop  ,install the nvidia-current driver , do sudo nvidia-xconfig , then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart19:32
inteliwaspBluesKaj: i used the builtin driver19:35

inteliwaspBluesKaj: nice, the nvidia driver site is not compatable with lynx19:38
wanderolá19:40
BluesKajinteliwasp, use the nvidia ppa as shadeslayer suggested , you must add it to your sources.list then sudo apt-get update before installing19:40
inteliwaspnvidia ppa?19:41
BluesKajinteliwasp, yeah, check launchpad for the ppa19:41
BluesKajBBL...stuff to do19:42
shadeslayerinteliwasp: its a nouveau ppa,the open source driver for nvidia cards19:43

James147BluesKaj: I know, but flashplugin-nonfree is just a transitional package that points to the installer20:50
BluesKajJames147, it points tom the player , if it's installed20:51
mudassarKMPlayer does not play anything20:52
BluesKajusually the flashplayer installs by default20:52
mudassarfurthermore i am still not able to run mms video from webpage link20:52

patarokim on lucid.21:51
patarok#ubuntu+121:53
=== atom is now known as Guest31595
James147patarok: you need to run it as root to save the settings (kdesudo nvidia-settings)21:56
BluesKajpatarok, in the terminal: sudo nvidia-xconfig22:00
James147BluesKaj: kdesudo is prefured over sudo for graphical applications... not entirly sure why22:01
BluesKajJames147, kdesudo is used in the run box alt+f2 , aks krunner, not the terminal22:04
BluesKajerr aka22:04
James147BluesKaj: it can be run in both... but have heard it is better for graphical applications so tend to use for them... again not entirly sure why22:05
BluesKajJames147, kdesudo invokes a graphical interface , not required for use in the terminal22:06
James147BluesKaj: not entirly...http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo22:07
BluesKajJames147, this discussion is interfering with helping patarok22:07
BluesKajJames147, does it really matter or are you just trolling for minor differences22:08
BluesKaj?22:08
James147BluesKaj: It matter some of the time... as "There are other times, though, when side effects can be as mild as Firefox extensions not sticking or as extreme as as not being able to log in any more because the permissions on your .ICEauthority changed."22:09
pataroki thought i tried that before but the sudo nvidia-xconfig seems to have done the job... a fat THX at James14722:10
James147BluesKaj: Not trying to troll, just dont think its a good idea to suggest useing sudo when 'some' of the time it can go badly22:10
patarokTHX22:10
patarokTHX22:10
patarokgood bye ill try to restart and look if things keep cool.22:11
BluesKajwell James147, I've never encountered that problem , so I'm not going to change my advice ...you merely confuse ppl by bringing up this issue which almost never happens as the writer on the page admits22:11
James147BluesKaj: I have had problems with premission on .ICEauthority before and not being able to log in without changing the premissions back... but havnet had that issue now i use kdesudo22:12
James147BluesKaj: I am more conserned about the few ppl that encounter the problem that wont know how to fix it and wont beable to log in if it happens. I don't think useing kdesudo instead os sudo is that more confusing22:13
marcosrorizdoes lts also apply to kubuntu?22:14
James147marcosroriz: ??22:14
marcosrorizbecause 8.04 wasnt22:14
James147marcosroriz: ahh, LTS? yes, but the last version that was lts for ubuntu (8.04) wasent for kubuntu22:14
BluesKajwell now so kdesudo is the new sudo ...is that what you are saying? we have to change almost 15 yrs of commands in the terminal due to an authentication bug?22:15
marcosrorizthis version will be?22:15
James147BluesKaj: no, just advise to use it for graphical applications... I still use it for command line apps22:15
James147marcosroriz: 10.04 should be a lts, i think the reason 8.04 wasent was because kde 4.x wasent stable enough and 3.5 was reaching end of life over the life span of an lts22:16
James147BluesKaj: still use sudo for commandline that is ^^22:17
BluesKajI haven't had any problems so i'm not changing . All the tutorials I've read still use sudo , except the one you pointed out.22:17
BluesKajJames147, why are they using kdesu instead of kdesudo on that page you posted , there's no expalanation22:26
James147BluesKaj: kdesudo and kdesu are two slightly different programs that basically do the same thing22:27
BluesKajanyway , i have no more time for this ...got other stuff to do22:27
James147BluesKaj: I think kubuntu adpoted kdesudo back when kdesu had some issues with it22:27
BluesKajkdesudo was encouraged for the krunner / run command ...maybe they should have mentioned this issue at the time22:29
James147BluesKaj: I assumed it was encourged for graphical applications in general incase a user encounters the problems with sudo22:31
