| andre_ | hey, got another problem | 00:29 |
| andre_ | i wanted to play some music from my external partition (ntfs), but it doesn't work in amarok | 00:30 |
| andre_ | fuck, just had to restart it :S | 00:32 |
| maco | andre_: please dont swear | 00:32 |

| maco | we have rules in our channels. they include family-friendly/polite language | 00:34 |
| andre_ | sorry, different culture ;) | 00:34 |
| andre_ | oh, another question :D | 00:35 |
| andre_ | on windows i had the possibility to boost the bass a little bit (on my headphones) | 00:35 |
| andre_ | how can i do that here? | 00:35 |
| andre_ | oh, and can you suggest me a good webcam recorder + video editing? (or probably both in the same package) | 00:37 |
| apparle | localgh0st: I suggest you read the system logs .. use Ksystemlog | 00:38 |
| apparle | andre_: as for the mp3. try opening an mp3 file.... a popup will tell you what is required to play it..... then you can install the packages. | 00:38 |
| andre_ | apparle: the mp3-thing works already, thank you! | 00:39 |
| andre_ | i just closed amarok without closing the tray icon | 00:39 |
| andre_ | that was the problem | 00:39 |
| localgh0st | apparle I see things there relating to hda-intel | 00:39 |
| localgh0st | Though I'm not sure what to make of any of it | 00:40 |
| DaskreeCh | http://blusrcu.ba/nookie/?p=48 ;-) | 00:40 |
| apparle | localgh0st: see if you are seeing any errors like... timeout or stuff | 00:40 |
| apparle | andre_: why is that a problem | 00:40 |
| localgh0st | This is the only thing that looks error-ish | 00:41 |
| andre_ | that was the reason why it didn't worked | 00:41 |
| localgh0st | [107506.904610] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. | 00:41 |

| gorgonzola | sorry, typo. | 00:46 |
| apparle | andre_: for base boost, I think you will need an equalizer.....I am sure it can be done, but don't know how. I am also looking for how to configure equalizer | 00:46 |
| daweed | did any one know how to install grub with the instalation cd of kubuntu? | 00:47 |
| localgh0st | Anyone have thoughts on my crackling audio? | 00:47 |
| andre_ | it works with the amarok one | 00:47 |
| andre_ | but i wish i had a system wide working one | 00:47 |

| apparle | localgh0st: I don't know.... sorry can't help...... hang around if someone knows they will help | 00:48 |
| andre_ | the bass boost – with amarok | 00:48 |
| apparle | andre_: and where are you applying it? | 00:49 |
| localgh0st | WOW | 00:49 |
| localgh0st | It came back... | 00:49 |
| localgh0st | Very loudly >_< | 00:49 |
| andre_ | extras, equalizer | 00:49 |
| andre_ | and then moving the sliders | 00:49 |
| apparle | andre_: I am not sure.... but last time I had seen equalizer it was not there........... check in system settings sound if there is an equalizer | 00:50 |
| luis__ | I need urgent help: something went totally wrong with the actu to 10.04, some packages are missing, the boot is failing, I try to repair files with safe mode but in cannot acces the server, not able to get any package, please help! | 00:51 |
| apparle | andre_: sorry ..... last time I saw amarok extras ...... it didn't have equalizer | 00:51 |
| andre_ | apparle: as i said, it works only in amarok, but i haven't found a system wide option :( | 00:51 |
| daweed | localgh0st: do you know how to install grub with the cd of kubuntu installation cd or ubuntu or xubuntu | 00:51 |
| luis__ | I need urgent help: something went totally wrong with the actu to 10.04, some packages are missing, the boot is failing, I try to repair files with safe mode but in cannot acces the server, not able to get any package, please help! | 00:52 |
| apparle | andre_: for the timebeing you could use vlc and its equalizer | 00:52 |
| apparle | luis__: what went wrong | 00:52 |
| localgh0st | daweed, I think grub is the default during the installation, am I wrong? | 00:52 |
| andre_ | apparle: the amarok-one works, but it's just amarok-specific | 00:52 |
| andre_ | if i watch a youtube-video, it still sounds not very good | 00:53 |
| apparle | andre_: ya I got that ..... and I don't know about the system wide settings...... | 00:53 |
| andre_ | ok | 00:53 |
| luis__ | before going to user and passwork it displays some commands telling a warning, something related to kernel, but its dessapears to fast to read, then the old user and password of the old version comes, when it enter no bar, widgets appear, only the desktop | 00:53 |
| luis__ | its like the old version with some parts of the new 10.04 malfuntioning | 00:53 |
| localgh0st | Okay update to my sound problem. Amarok works, but the sound tests in settings produce crackling while sound in chrome and prism is completely silent... | 00:54 |
| localgh0st | The plot thickens. | 00:54 |
| localgh0st | Aplay is silent as well | 00:54 |

| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| luis__ | pretty weid | 00:55 |
| localgh0st | daweed, I think you boot back into the liveCD and restore grub using one of the commands | 00:55 |
| luis__ | think kernel is wrong or something, or maybe packages are missing | 00:56 |
| luis__ | and i dont know about a command to reinstall everythin | 00:56 |
| luis__ | g | 00:56 |
| localgh0st | apparle, Amarok works flawlessly, but I get that returned with aplay and I hear nothing... Very odd, agreed. | 00:56 |
| apparle | luis__: if you want to fix everything... its "sudo apt-get -f install" that would try to fix any problems apt has. | 00:57 |
| apparle | luis__: check if you are still using the hardy repo | 00:57 |
| luis__ | hardy heron? | 00:57 |
| daweed | localgh0st: and where can i download the ubuntu live cd? | 00:58 |
| luis__ | but my old version was 9.10 i think | 00:58 |
| apparle | luis__: ohhhh..... then check if repos are pointing toward lucid of karmic | 00:58 |
| apparle | daweed: what is your problem | 00:58 |
| luis__ | apparle: what you mean | 00:58 |
| andre_ | apparle: an idea how i can get amarok playing aac files? | 00:59 |
| daweed | apparle: tnks i will install windows on other partition and want to know how to reinstall grub after that | 00:59 |
| apparle | luis__: open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and check if the entries have lucid or karmic | 00:59 |
| daweed | apparle: localgh0st say that i should download ubuntu live cd and whit one of the commands | 01:00 |
| apparle | daweed: tell me your problem from start.... what happened to your computer | 01:01 |
| daweed | apparle: but i dont know if ubuntu live cd is the same cd of the installationn or other diferent i guess that is only the option where says i want to test ubuntu in my sistem with out making any changes to my sistem, is that the live cd that localgh0st means? | 01:02 |
| luis__ | apparle: how i open the file | 01:03 |

| daweed | hello | 02:43 |
| daweed | did anyone know what is the diferenfe between the disk of ubuntu that say alternate to the other? | 02:44 |
| jschall | having more than one bouncy ball plasmoid makes them freak out. they're all buggy. | 02:44 |
| Tm_T | daweed: alternate cd doesn't have live session, nor "graphical" installer | 02:45 |
| jschall | also they don't work to well with locked widgets =P | 02:45 |
| jasonmchristos | daweed: the alternate is a text installer for weaker computers | 02:45 |
| Tm_T | jasonmchristos: not only that | 02:45 |
| jschall | and they get stuck in corners. | 02:45 |
| daweed | Tm_T: jasonmchristos tnks | 02:46 |
| Tm_T | also alternate installer has some options not available in livecd | 02:46 |
| jasonmchristos | it also lets you manipulate the installation more | 02:46 |
| Tm_T | jasonmchristos: that | 02:46 |
| jasonmchristos | usually for the case of a weaker computer | 02:46 |
| jasonmchristos | older alternates had the lvm option so that you can encrypt the hd but i understand the newer live CD have this option also now | 02:47 |
| jasonmchristos | how do i lock a user account? | 02:47 |
| localgh0st | Mah flash gotz no sounds... I've tried the usual tricks. It was working fine till Lucid... Anyone have any thoughts? | 02:48 |
| maco | jasonmchristos: "passwd -l username" locks an account | 02:48 |
| jasonmchristos | thank you | 02:48 |

| Ertain | Hello everyone. I just updated to Lynx and I've found that, while Lucid was suppose to speed up boot times, mine has become shorter. Also I have to manually shut down my machine because it hangs when it tries to shutdown. | 02:57 |
| Walzmyn | daweed: you had a dual boot windows/linux and you changed versions of windows? | 02:59 |
| daweed | Walzmyn: i have not dual boot now only boot xp | 03:00 |

| Ertain | Whoops, I mean my boot times have become longer. | 03:00 |
| Walzmyn | daweed: so, you're dual booting vista and xp? | 03:00 |

| bazhang | daweed, with Kubuntu? | 03:02 |
| daweed | yeahh with kubuntu | 03:02 |
| Walzmyn | daweed: putting both xp and vista on a machine will be a pain | 03:02 |
| daweed | bazhang: yeahhh withh kubuntu | 03:02 |
| bazhang | tried updating grub? | 03:02 |
| Walzmyn | daweed: so you want XP, Vista and Kubuntu on one machine? | 03:02 |
| daweed | yahh | 03:03 |
| daweed | Walzmyn: yes | 03:03 |
| Walzmyn | daweed: yesh, I have to go to bed, i don't have the time to walk you though that. Try google | 03:03 |
| daweed | but i dont want to have to reinstall vissta all over again and the software | 03:03 |
| Walzmyn | daweed: you'll have to fool each of the windows into thinking they are alone. then install kubuntu last | 03:03 |
| daweed | Walzmyn: tnks where are you now? | 03:04 |
| Walzmyn | daweed: where? I'm in Georgia, USA | 03:04 |

| daweed | doleyb_: ohh yeahh amarok but it has a wolf like icon and where can i get xmms and what is it? | 03:19 |

| Pavel_S | My touchpad settings don't active. I can't change them. Is it a bug? | 05:06 |
| frogonwheels | Pavel_S: More info. what do you mean by "don't active"? where do you expect to change them? what have you tried? | 05:07 |
| Pavel_S | System settings -> Keyboard -> Touchpad | 05:08 |
| Pavel_S | But i can't change nothing. | 05:09 |
| frogonwheels | Pavel_S: ah. you possibly need to switch to admin. | 05:09 |
| frogonwheels | hmm.. either that or it just doesn't detect your touchpad. | 05:09 |
| Pavel_S | What does it mean? "doesn't detect" | 05:10 |
| frogonwheels | Pavel_S: yeah - that's what it will be. It can't find anything that it can identify as a touchpad | 05:10 |
| Pavel_S | My touchpad works fine. | 05:10 |
| frogonwheels | hm.. possibly it thinks it's a mouse? dunno. | 05:11 |
| frogonwheels | Pavel_S: in 'informations' does it say anything? | 05:11 |
| Pavel_S | I don't understand you. Where i need to check something | 05:12 |
| frogonwheels | In "Touchpad Settings" there's a group-box labeled (badly) 'informations' | 05:13 |
| Pavel_S | ok, i have found. | 05:13 |
| frogonwheels | Mine has Touchpad Name: Device not found -given I don't have a touchpad. | 05:13 |
| Pavel_S | I have same. | 05:14 |
| Pavel_S | Can i fix this or not? | 05:14 |
| frogonwheels | Pavel_S: your touchpad is probably identifying as a mouse then. | 05:14 |
| frogonwheels | don't know. Google your specific touchpad. | 05:15 |
| frogonwheels | Pavel_S: if it's a usb device, try lsusb to find the device name if you need to | 05:15 |

| CartoonCat | yay, upgraded to lucid and now my wireless is totaly broken (one AP deauthenticates, the other times out). Atheros card, using ath5k drivers | 05:40 |
| dolomite | ifconfig -a | 05:41 |
| CartoonCat | >.< | 05:42 |
| CartoonCat | Yes the card is listed, the module is loaded, etc | 05:42 |
| dolomite | why not add blah blah blah too | 05:42 |
| CartoonCat | the interface is up, etc, iwconfig wlan0 essid Wireless and dmesg shows [ 226.672627] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:18:0a:01:7f:21 by local choice (reason=3) | 05:43 |
| dolomite | bug report says reinstalling network manager helped | 05:45 |
| dolomite | tried it yet? | 05:45 |
| CartoonCat | Yes, as wel las trying to switch to kde network manager, no change | 05:46 |
| CartoonCat | this seams to be a issue with the version of the ath5k that was picked | 05:47 |
| CartoonCat | I can drop to gentoo or win7, works fine, can swap hd's and go to 9. and it works fine =\ | 05:48 |
| dolomite | and your version is current right? | 05:48 |
| lucitu | CartoonCat: try the plasma-widget-networkmanagement instead | 05:48 |
| CartoonCat | its the one lucid ships with, yes | 05:49 |
| dolomite | CartoonCat: modprobe -r athk and modprobe athk | 05:49 |
| dolomite | worth a shot | 05:49 |
| CartoonCat | lucitu: i will switch back, but the issue is not the manager, its ath5k | 05:49 |
| CartoonCat | dolomite: I have done that, i get the same dmesg output | 05:49 |
| dolomite | k | 05:50 |
| CartoonCat | I need to switch to the same ath5k that 9.04/9.10 use's, or possibly move to the latest ath5k. being a long time gentoo nut has corrupted me on these binary distro's heh | 05:52 |
| dolomite | yeah, there are way too many issues with these wireless modules. launchpad's flooded | 05:54 |
| CartoonCat | they do seam to have picked a poor version of ath5k this go. I know the one i was using with 9.04 worked. I know the latest from ~3 months ago worked (in gentoo, still the one im using there) | 05:56 |
| dolomite | yes, some things are better left untouched | 05:57 |
| CartoonCat | now, to figure out how to do that on here. it doesnt seam to be what im used to "pull tar.gz, configure, make, install" | 05:57 |
| moetunes | !checkinstall | 05:58 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 05:58 |
| dolomite | I did not know about that wrapper; handy! | 06:00 |
| CartoonCat | same here, I will try it. | 06:00 |
| CartoonCat | if it goes boom, not much will be lost other then time and hair | 06:01 |
| moetunes | it's the only sane way to uninstall something you built... | 06:01 |
| CartoonCat | >.< | 06:04 |
| CartoonCat | ok, so no source is installed by default | 06:04 |
| Teknical | so my flash no longer works, just a grey box .. can anyone clue me in on what package i should reinstall? | 06:05 |
| Teknical | this is on firefox, with kubuntu 10.04^ | 06:05 |
| Teknical | worked before, nothing now | 06:06 |
| CartoonCat | Teknical: when you say flash, do you mean a usb stick? | 06:08 |
| Teknical | adobe flash content on webpages in firefoxd | 06:08 |
| Teknical | firefox* | 06:08 |
| CartoonCat | I had to reinstall the plugin after the upgrade to 10 from 9 | 06:08 |
| Teknical | can you direct me on the best way to do that? | 06:09 |
| CartoonCat | i have no idea if its the best, but i selected the nonfree flashplugin from aptitude | 06:10 |
| dolomite | Teknical: in the address bar of firefox type about:plugins | 06:11 |
| Teknical | yes in my plugins area it shows shockwave flash | 06:11 |
| dolomite | ok | 06:11 |
| dolomite | Teknical: I'd recommend finding the package name of your flash plugin | 06:12 |
| Teknical | thats what i was hoping to get from here | 06:12 |
| Teknical | :) | 06:12 |
| dolomite | and from terminal type sudo apt-get remove --purge <package name> | 06:12 |
| dolomite | try to install the .deb file from adobe's site | 06:12 |
| Teknical | it seems the restricted extras was the last thing i did, that may have caused this | 06:12 |
| Teknical | the deb from adobes site is for x86 .. i cant find the x64 | 06:13 |
| dolomite | oh ok | 06:13 |
| dolomite | then just reinstall the one you have and check it. | 06:13 |
| dolomite | 64 flash is giving people headaches | 06:14 |
| Teknical | im not sure what to look for really .. ive reinstalled what ive found | 06:14 |
| dolomite | and did it work? | 06:15 |
| Teknical | nope | 06:15 |
| dolomite | in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins delete the flashplayer.so file | 06:15 |
| dolomite | and this time, please purge the flashplugin package | 06:16 |
| Teknical | hold that thought .. let me reboot real quick for good measure | 06:16 |
| doleyb_ | Teknical: adobe does have a separate download for 64 linux flash | 06:16 |
| dolomite | (if you didn't last time) | 06:16 |
| Teknical | ahh? | 06:16 |
| Teknical | haha im not even sure what to purge, i was asking what packages are what | 06:16 |
| doleyb_ | Teknical: after you might try http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html | 06:16 |
| Teknical | what is really annoying is my flash has worked fine since 10.04 release | 06:17 |
| Teknical | today i reboot and this | 06:17 |
| dolomite | Teknical: if you do a search in your package manager for flash, is anything installed? | 06:17 |
| Teknical | yes .. flashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-installer .. and | 06:18 |
| Teknical | konqueror-nsplugins | 06:18 |
| dolomite | leave konqueror | 06:18 |
| dolomite | Teknical: from command line | 06:18 |
| Teknical | and kubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:18 |
| Teknical | thats it | 06:18 |
| dolomite | Teknical: sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer | 06:19 |
| Teknical | removing.. | 06:19 |
| Teknical | done | 06:19 |
| dolomite | and navigate to your /usr/lib/firefox/plugins directory and find and delete that "flashplayer.so" type file | 06:19 |
| Teknical | tek@tek-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox/plugins$ rm flashplayer.so | 06:20 |
| Teknical | rm: cannot remove `flashplayer.so': No such file or directory | 06:20 |
| dolomite | Teknical: it's not called flashplayer.so | 06:20 |
| dolomite | Teknical: but it's "something to do with flash".so | 06:20 |
| dolomite | Teknical: i don't know what it is on your system | 06:20 |
| Teknical | tek@tek-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox/plugins$ dir | 06:20 |
| Teknical | tek@tek-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox/plugins$ | 06:20 |
| dolomite | ok so it's not in there. good | 06:21 |
| dolomite | now download that x64 flash | 06:21 |
| Teknical | have it .. will have to compile it seems, keep in mind im a newb | 06:22 |
| Teknical | i need build-essentials correct? | 06:22 |
| Teknical | cant believe i have to do this for flash that worked fine, sigh | 06:23 |
| dolomite | hold up; I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't involve compiling | 06:24 |
| Teknical | my laptop has gone through nearly an identical setup and does not have this problem | 06:25 |
| dolomite | Teknical: things happen, can we try some things? | 06:25 |
| Teknical | ive tried everything thus far :) | 06:25 |
| dolomite | ok, we'll try the nswrapper route: | 06:26 |
| dolomite | first, is your firefox directory /usr/lib/firefox or /usr/lib/firefox-3.0? | 06:26 |
| Teknical | firefox-addons | 06:28 |
| Teknical | firefox-addons | 06:28 |
| Teknical | oops | 06:28 |
| Teknical | i have.. | 06:28 |
| Teknical | that addons folder | 06:28 |
| Teknical | a firefox-3.6.3 folder | 06:28 |

| coreberserker | under alot of it it says synaptics touchpad | 08:12 |
| maco | hmm two-finger scrolling should work then i think... | 08:13 |
| maco | it does on mine | 08:13 |
| coreberserker | it says mine is a SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad | 08:14 |
| maco | yep same for me | 08:14 |
| maco | you hit the "apply" button right? | 08:14 |
| coreberserker | Yup | 08:15 |
| GilU | Hello :) | 08:15 |
| maco | i'd suggest filing a bug then | 08:15 |
| maco | on xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 08:16 |
| coreberserker | Alright | 08:16 |
| GilU | Did onyone have a problem with refresh rate? I've installed kubuntu yesterday, changed the RR to 85Hz without any problem, but today after restart i have 60Hz again. How can i force kubuntu to remember my settings? | 08:17 |
| maco | GilU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution see section 4 | 08:18 |
| GilU | maco: tank | 08:18 |
| GilU | s | 08:18 |
| coreberserker | maco do you think it has something to do with my running amd64? | 08:18 |
| maco | coreberserker: no, im on amd64 too | 08:18 |
| coreberserker | crap xD | 08:19 |
| coreberserker | Okay | 08:19 |
| maco | likely just something different about your particular touchpad versus mine | 08:19 |
| coreberserker | I'll file the bug report | 08:19 |
| maco | a different model number | 08:19 |
| coreberserker | Ahh Okay =] | 08:19 |

| zoggy | hey all, for some reason, my meta keys have gone awry despite a fresh install of kde. if i go into menu editor and set a shortcut key (eg meta - d for dolphin), it shows as being meta-d, but when i try the key combination nothing pops up. i've tried this with different apps. it almost seems like the meta key is not working properly. it's not the keyboard either. thanks so much | 08:59 |
| zoggy | reisi: i think it's shift+alt+f12 | 09:00 |
| reisi | zoggy: hmmm yes it is, thanks | 09:00 |
| reisi | zoggy: i think i remember that there was a separate service for listening to hotkey presses | 09:01 |
| zoggy | reisi: thanks, letm me look around for that. i used to just do it within kmenu, is that toast? | 09:02 |
| reisi | zoggy: goto system settings -> advanced (tab) -> service manager | 09:02 |
| reisi | zoggy: i've got KHotKeys running (one of the first in the startable-stoppable, 2nd pane) | 09:02 |
| zoggy | reisi: mine says khotkeys: running: khotkeys daemon. no daemon, no hotkeys | 09:04 |
| zoggy | reisi: weird, it says running but also says no hotkeys | 09:04 |
| reisi | zoggy: hmm.. i'd try to stop it and start it | 09:04 |
| zoggy | reisi: just tried that, but no joy | 09:05 |

| zoggy | N|ghtWo|f: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kdevelop-4 | 09:06 |
| zoggy | N|ghtWo|f: i had the same problem. was so glad to see it's back. i absolutely love kdevelop! | 09:07 |
| N|ghtWo|f | me too | 09:07 |
| zoggy | N|ghtWo|f: especially with it's php support via kdevelop-php-docs and kdevelop-php | 09:08 |
| zoggy | reisi: thanks for that, i'll look for the logs | 09:08 |
| N|ghtWo|f | zoggy: kdevelop is back! and without some annoying bugs :D | 09:21 |

| Kolia | anyone experience usb key not being detected in lucid ? | 09:45 |
| reisi | zoggy: aah of course, well thats a bit too easy mistake to make | 09:57 |
| reisi | zoggy: just like when your network connection is down, you should start by checking if you have an ethernet cable connected (from the both ends) :D | 09:57 |
| reisi | zoggy: not by debugging your ethernet driver | 09:58 |

| ForgeAus | just because your using a special keymap thats German nothing to do with your language or anything... besides it was just a suggestion... that they might know more about the issue your having thats all... | 16:23 |
| jimmy51_ | DarthFrog: indeed i did. and.... this fresh install is nice. i've been running since 7.04 and had a lot of junk. | 16:29 |
| DarthFrog | jimmy51_: To me, that's the major benefit of having a separate /home partiton: I can do a fresh install (even on a different disk) and still have all my data intact. | 16:31 |
| DarthFrog | Use the same /home partition with both the old and the new installations. | 16:31 |
| jimmy51_ | DarthFrog: yeah, i'm glad i'm set up that way. mine's not ideal.... /home is a second partition, and /home/Storage is another drive altogether. | 16:32 |
| jimmy51_ | but... at least my / format didn't get rid of /home | 16:32 |
| jimmy51_ | DarthFrog: wow, the drivers worked. current version, clicked activate, rebooted, viola! | 16:33 |
| jimmy51_ | DarthFrog: i think my problem was related to having tried the nvidia.com drivers in the past | 16:33 |
| DarthFrog | jimmy51_: That's what I was thinking. Cruft was interfering. | 16:34 |
| DarthFrog | And it's "voila", BTW, "Viola" is a musical instrument. :-) | 16:35 |
| DarthFrog | <-- worked hard to be a pedant. :-) | 16:35 |
| jimmy51_ | DarthFrog: hehe, i debated the spelling but was too lazy to look it up. | 16:36 |

| N|ghtWo|f | i think it contains +-16 colors | 17:22 |
| N|ghtWo|f | instead of a nice gradient | 17:23 |
| DarthFrog | N|ghtWo|f: Does your system boot up OK? | 17:23 |
| benkay86 | Are you talking about plymouth or a GRUB splash? | 17:23 |
| N|ghtWo|f | plymounth | 17:23 |

| N|ghtWo|f | it boots ok, but it is a nightmare during 16s | 17:24 |

| benkay86 | N|ghtWo|f: You might achieve that by removing "splash" from "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" in /etc/default/grub | 17:29 |

| zus | when buying a new laptop or desktop. how can i transfer information over such as kontact information and os settings from this HDD to a new HDD | 17:33 |
| benkay86 | zus: That sort of stuff is stored in hidden folders (folders beginning with a .) in your home directory. | 17:34 |
| === apachelogger is now known as huntlogger | ||
| benkay86 | zus: You could copy your entire home directory (i.e. "cp -a /home/zus /media/disk/backup") | 17:34 |
| zus | benkay86, so should i unhide them and copy and paste... | 17:35 |
| benkay86 | zus: Yes, that would work too. | 17:35 |
| buckfast | How can I schedule tasks in Kubuntu? | 17:35 |
| zus | benkay86, would it matter if im on a 32 bit machine and bought a 64 bit machine? | 17:35 |
| benkay86 | zus: Or, for settings from specific apps, just copy the needed files. Like ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail | 17:35 |
| benkay86 | zus: Not for settings, no -- it shouldn't matter. | 17:36 |
| benkay86 | buckfast: crontab -e | 17:36 |
| zus | benkay86, i think this is a 64bit machine i once had 64bit winxp pro installed on here but when i went to kubuntu i got the 32 bit. machine im looking at is | 17:37 |
| benkay86 | buckfast: Or look under System Settings -> Autostart if you just want something to run once. | 17:37 |
| === APERSON is now known as aperson | ||
| benkay86 | zus: If you want to know if you're CPU is capable of doing 64-bit (most modern CPUs are), look up the vendor's specs. | 17:38 |
| benkay86 | grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo | 17:39 |

| === james is now known as Guest95375 | ||
| === Guest95375 is now known as SavageKoala | ||
| benkay86 | zus: You can install Kubuntu32 on the amd64 if you want, but Kubuntu64 will probably get you better performance. As for migrating your data and settings, no, it shouldn't matter. | 17:44 |
| benkay86 | zus: I mean, it might for poorly designed programs that serialize their data in a type-dependent fashion, but by and large... | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | zus, I have 64 bit Lucid on amd 64 and it works fine . | 17:45 |
| benkay86 | aleboco: I'm not familiar with an easy, GUI-centric was of doing it, but you could probably get what you want using some combination of bridge-utils and ufw. | 17:45 |
| zus | benkay86, cool, beats having to set up everything twice | 17:45 |
| zus | BluesKaj, i was wondering more on migrating a 32 settings and info to a 64 machine | 17:46 |

| aleboco | benkay86: well, i was just looking for a way to do it easily and GUI-centricly ;-) | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | zus, you could reinstall 64 bit over the old 32 bit without reformatting , some of your non default apps might disappear but their configuration files will remain intact , s o you can just reinstall them and the original settings will be retained | 17:48 |

| c3l | need help with my printer. Im managing to get a testpage printed, but nothing else. (hp laserjet 1020) | 17:54 |
| c3l | ive ran hp-setup | 17:54 |
| BluesKaj | zus,i tried that for a while but I found that just using the gtk apps that I really need with kde is much less cluttered and complicated | 17:55 |
| benkay86 | c3l: I'm not sure you had to do anything hp-centric to get it working. In fact, that could be part of your problem. | 17:56 |
| benkay86 | System Settings -> Printer Configuration works in all but exceptional cases. | 17:56 |
| c3l | benkay86: i couldnt get it working at all otherwise. it poped up in the printer settings. but when sending a job to it, nothing happend, but the tray icon appeared | 17:57 |
| c3l | benkay86: should I remove it from printersettings and.. well how do I do it the "normal" way? | 17:57 |

| Megabites | ?? | 17:58 |
| caprea | I think my plasma is borked. | 17:58 |
| benkay86 | c3l: By "printersettings" do you mean the Printer Configuration dialog under system settings? | 17:58 |
| benkay86 | Megabites: Have you already looked here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 17:58 |
| c3l | Megabites: if you want the proprietary drivers, just go to nvidias homepage and download the drivers for your graphics card (linux version) and install | 17:58 |
| c3l | benkay86: yeah, sorry for not being clear ;) | 17:58 |
| caprea | When KDE starts up, after the splash screen I get a crash for plasma, and then I have no start menu. Im running apps from the Alt+F2 menu | 17:58 |

| benkay86 | c3l: As far as I know, that *is* the normal way of adding printers. | 17:59 |
| SavageKoala | sum1 tell me the package name to download kde plz? | 18:00 |
| caprea | I can't figure how to fix this, the two actions I've done is that yesterday I installed VirtualBox and updated all my packages from KPackageKit | 18:00 |
| c3l | well the laserjet 1020 didnt work too well =/ I remember that it worked just fine on ubuntu 9.10 (at that time I ran gnome) | 18:00 |
| c3l | ill try the windows-sloution, a reboot.. ;) | 18:00 |
| caprea | Is the command for running plasma simply 'plasma' ? Because it says command not found | 18:00 |
| SavageKoala | I'm running gnome but it's my partner's family desktop so would be best to offer both gnome and kde | 18:00 |

| c3l | oh and I have a very annoying problem. The display settings are not saved between sessions. I keep loggin into my cloned blurry screens, forcin me to go to display settings and fix it all to 2 monitors side by side witht the proper resolutoin. is ther a reason for this being so fu**ed | 18:03 |

| zus | id rather not install kaffiene if its going to be unruly once again heh | 18:09 |
| benkay86 | zus: I use vlc for media playback, personally. | 18:09 |
| zus | benkay86, i just read it has features dragon player dont...also i first heard about it cos i was looking for video wallpapers but i never could find the function in either vlc or kaffeine | 18:10 |
| caprea | I am trying to restore my desktop. If I do "apt-get remove kubuntu*" and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, what information might I lose? | 18:11 |
| benkay86 | zus: Dragon player is based on mplayer. Kaffeine is based on Xine. VLC uses its own media engine. | 18:11 |
| zus | benkay86, thanks. i do use vlc for what dragon wont play. i only wated kaffeiene if it did video for wallpapers | 18:13 |
| dolomite | caprea: deleting the ~./kde folder might help you | 18:13 |

| apparle | hi guys... I had a download running, but I got ip conflict and due to that the download failed. But luckily the file and file.part were still intact so I copied them is there any way to resume the download | 18:14 |
| caprea | Does anyone know what makes updates "blocked" in Kpackagekit? | 18:14 |
| dolomite | caprea: updates are blocked if they might break your system | 18:14 |
| speedvin_ | caprea: hold command :D | 18:15 |
| dolomite | !kget | caprea | 18:15 |
| dolomite | whoops | 18:15 |
| caprea | I did an update of a bunch of pakcages which might ahve broken my plasma | 18:15 |
| benkay86 | zus: I don't know if Kaffeine does that or not. I think there is a plasma widget that renders video as your wallpaper http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=112105 (dunno what engine it uses). Also, you could theoretically make *anything* your wallpaper with xwinwrap. | 18:15 |
| caprea | I see a bunch of blocked updates still | 18:15 |
| dolomite | apparle: I'm not sure if you can restart the download; in the future try using KGet | 18:16 |
| caprea | dolomite: Since deleting the .kde directory didnt work I am thinking of reinstalling kubuntu via apt-get remove and apt-get install. Is that a bad idea? | 18:17 |
| caprea | or is there a way I can 'upgrade' my system? Isnt there a new version of kubuntu out? | 18:17 |
| zus | benkay86, awe geesh i havent even begun to get into eye candy yet haha | 18:17 |
| benkay86 | zus: Uh, I think video wallpaper qualifies as eyecandy. | 18:17 |

| tok_ | how can I update kdelibs in kubuntu 9.10 ? | 18:26 |
| dolomite | tok_: have you checked that the repositories don't have your updates? | 18:27 |
| dolomite | tok_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:27 |
| caprea | after I upgrade to Kub 10, would I be able to restore my old .kde settings by replacing the directory? Or is it not backwards compatible? | 18:28 |
| tok_ | dolomite:sudo apt-get update gives a list of some files, the next one is downloading 189 MB of files. Is this the one ? | 18:28 |
| caprea | I moved the directory so I think it will come up as funky looking to me | 18:28 |
| dolomite | caprea: it'll still be compatibile | 18:28 |

| c3l | and of course, im sorry. wont happen again | 18:38 |
| dolomite | c3l: no excuse. unless you find a word like that in the source code | 18:38 |
| Captain_Haddock | dolomite: is that a little dated? From what I read, samba uses some new authentication system.. and all the init.d restart business has all been thrown out of the window, right? | 18:40 |
| apparle | hi guys | 18:41 |
| EXCHIM | Hi | 18:41 |

| dolomite | Captain_Haddock: you're probably right about the authentication stuff. I used the NFSHowTo on that site and had nothing but succes. | 18:41 |
| dolomite | Captain_Haddock: and the init.d stuff is just deprecated; there are still ways to restart processes | 18:41 |
| dolomite | Captain_Haddock: I'd take maco's advice and tread lightly with samba | 18:41 |
| maco | dolomite: finding a word like that in the linux kernel source code is /easy/ | 18:42 |

| dolomite | cuznt: how do you have 3 ubuntus on one drive? | 18:45 |
| dolomite | cuznt: in other words, are they still being useful (i.e. / /home swap) | 18:46 |
| cuznt | well one i will keep, it is small in case the other breaks | 18:47 |
| cuznt | but the other one is a farce | 18:47 |

| boris_ | i mean, putting the computer to sleep is as "easy" as pressing the sleep button, i thought there must be a way to do the same, just at a later time point?... | 18:51 |
| jimmy51_ | small complaint... after installing the 3D nvidia drivers (current version) the Kubuntu boot screen is super ugly. is that expected? | 18:54 |
| boris_ | jimmy51_: same here, i have learned to ignore it :) | 18:55 |
| moetunes | I remember seeing someone mention a bug report about that jimmy51_ | 18:56 |
| boris_ | i will rephrase my initial question: has anyone read the description part of the pm-action manual page, and understands what paragraphs 2 and 3 are supposed to mean?? (here the manual page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/pm-action.8.html) | 18:56 |

| jimmy51_ | ah | 18:58 |
| jimmy51_ | thanks | 18:58 |
| jimmy51_ | it sure is ugly | 18:58 |
| dolomite | jimmy51_: the fix is to slow down your boot | 18:59 |
| dolomite | jimmy51_: for me, I didn't care enough about pretty graphics to slow down the boot | 18:59 |
| jimmy51_ | oh, yuck. me neither. it's just not impressive to the people around here i'm trying to convert :( | 18:59 |
| dolomite | jimmy51_: well, I understand that approach too. I think the boot slowdown is like 5 seconds | 19:00 |
| dolomite | so weight that out | 19:00 |
| jimmy51_ | eh, i'll just drop a jelly bean on the floor when that part of the boot shows up | 19:01 |
| moetunes | boris_: those paragraphs say that to use it properly you are advised to use a program that interfaces with it properly | 19:01 |
| jimmy51_ | they'll look at the jelly bean and never even notice the super ugly logo :) | 19:01 |
| dolomite | jimmy51_: haha | 19:01 |

| smokealot | thats weird man i just reinstalled kubuntu the first thing i did was install that flash-plugin and it worked perfect on a amd64 bit laptop | 20:55 |
| noober | there is a underlying software for that, but the whole mount/sync stuff is stuffed in gnome, and not in kde | 20:55 |
| doleyb_ | smokealot: and you have a 64bit os too? | 20:55 |
| smokealot | yep | 20:55 |
| compilerwriter | took forever to load but then only video and no sound and then only once did it work? | 20:55 |
| doleyb_ | compilerwriter: you might check to make sure you don't have pulseaudio screwing it up | 20:56 |
| tsimpson | noober: most apps that work with ipods/iphones use a shared library, so they if it works in one app, it should work in another | 20:56 |
| smokealot | compilerwriter: sometimes non working installtions of flash wont let the flash-plugin work | 20:57 |

| lfaraone | Hi, I installed kubuntu-desktop on top of an existing ubuntu-desktop system to try it out. I find that the Power Management KDE Module does not detect that my CPU supports frequency scaling, nor does it notice that I have a battery at all. How can I debug this? | 21:04 |
| caprea | After upgrading to Kubuntu 10 from 9, I cant log in to my system. Everytime I go to log in the screen goes black then reshows the login screen | 21:08 |
| doleyb_ | caprea: did you try alt-f1 and console log in? | 21:15 |
| smokealot | caprea: i had a simular problem my screen would turn green then show a very blurry login screen then it would repeat over and over | 21:16 |
| smokealot | i could not fix it tho ): | 21:17 |
| smokealot | had to reinstall | 21:17 |
| caprea | yes I did | 21:18 |
| pingveno | Repeat question: I just did the upgrade to Lucid and now my screen dims to 0% whenever a power profile is set, regardless of the power profile and any adjustments. | 21:18 |
| caprea | wait I think I misunderstood | 21:18 |
| caprea | what does alt-f1 do | 21:18 |
| caprea | smokealot: I could reinstall but I cant lose certain data folders | 21:19 |
| caprea | plus I cant burn a CD to boot from | 21:19 |
| pingveno | Modification: It also dims randomly when I am using it. | 21:19 |
| Mamarok | caprea: Alt+F1 will not do much, I guess he meant Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 21:19 |
| caprea | I did ctrl-alt-f2 and was able to log in that way | 21:20 |
| caprea | so I can get console access | 21:20 |
| caprea | but when i try 'startx' it doesnt go.. I think because it already running the login screen? | 21:20 |
| pingveno | caprea: You need to do startx -- :1 | 21:21 |
| lfaraone | maco: poke | 21:22 |
| caprea | Server is already active for display 0 | 21:22 |
| caprea | I tried removing the .kde directory and that didnt fix it | 21:23 |
| caprea | I tried removing and installing kubuntu* from apt-get | 21:23 |
| maco | lfaraone: ? | 21:24 |
| lfaraone | maco: I decided to try out Kubuntu due to some S/R issues in Gnome. S/R works fine from the command line in KDE (despite refusing to suspend in GNOME), but the Power Management Console does not detect my battery or CPU scaling. (GNOME was able to do so) | 21:25 |
| maco | lfaraone: file bug? | 21:26 |
| lfaraone | maco: well, I'm not sure if it's a bug or I somehow messed up my installation <_<; | 21:26 |
| * lfaraone just installed kubuntu-desktop y-day. | 21:26 | |
| maco | lfaraone: i dont think it sees my cpu scaling either, so im going with bug | 21:27 |
| lfaraone | maco: does it see your battery? | 21:27 |
| maco | yes | 21:27 |
| maco | itll be a bug in powerdevil, i expect | 21:27 |
| Twey | lfaraone: So did I… it didn't work :-\ | 21:29 |
| lfaraone | maco: I don't have such a package installed, and it doesn't show up in an apt-cache search. | 21:30 |
| maco | lfaraone: that might be part of kdebase... | 21:32 |
| c3l | I remember some program in gnome that automatically found my iPhone and showed its photos. is ther anything in kde that can do the same? | 21:32 |
| smokealot | ive been trying | 21:32 |
| smokealot | mine does not even show up | 21:32 |
| smokealot | in gnome it does tho automticly | 21:32 |
| smokealot | like you said | 21:32 |
| c3l | smokealot: so how do we solve this? | 21:33 |
| smokealot | im still trying to find out | 21:34 |
| c3l | smokealot: one way is of course to go over SSH (assuming your jailbroken) | 21:35 |
| c3l | but afaik it is f-spot that is finding the iphone in gnome | 21:35 |

| family | hi all | 21:47 |
| c3l | hi there | 21:49 |
| Guest52974 | java -version OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8)... plus i've installed icedtea6-plugin When I try to run an applet in yahoo games for instance, I just get a blank window. How to fix? | 21:50 |
| aleboco | is there a way to share internet connection, specifically using network-manager-kde? | 21:52 |
| caprea | Ive determined my system is hosed and have to install fresh | 21:55 |
| caprea | is there a DVD image, or a way to do it by network? | 21:55 |
| Guest52974 | Also I've configured firefox to accept popups from games.yahoo.com The window pops up but there's a blank area where the java applet shouid be. about:plugins list a bunch of idedtea stuff. What is wrong? | 21:56 |
| c3l | theres lots of ways to do it, I prefer using an USB-stick, caprea | 21:56 |
| caprea | hmmm thats an option | 21:56 |
| caprea | I think I have a stick with 512mb | 21:56 |
| caprea | how much would I need? | 21:56 |
| caprea | can you explain that process to me c31 | 21:57 |
| c3l | caprea: as the image is made to fit a CD, at least 700mb is needed | 21:57 |
| c3l | caprea: but just burning to a CD is perhaps the easiest and fatest | 21:57 |
| Guest52974 | just make sure you test the CD/DVD before installing from it | 21:58 |
| Guest52974 | test = verify | 21:58 |
| Guest52974 | Should I purge IcedTea and install Sun | 21:59 |
| Guest52974 | i might need some icedtea if sun is hot <--- a little geek humour | 22:00 |
| oxymoron | Does somebody know if its possible to change Wine icons showed in systray? :P | 22:01 |
| jimmy51_ | is there no more menu.lst in 10.04? | 22:08 |
| txwikinger | jimmy51_: yes grub2 has a different configuration structure | 22:08 |
| jimmy51_ | txwikinger: what's the file i'm looking for if i want to investigate the configuration formerly handled by menu.lst? | 22:09 |
| txwikinger | !grub2 | jimmy51_ | 22:10 |
| ubottu | jimmy51_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 22:10 |
| jimmy51_ | txwikinger: ah, grub.cfg. Thanks for the link :) | 22:10 |
| txwikinger | jimmy51_: you are welcome | 22:11 |
| robwlo531 | hi, despide of the broken plymouth screen with nivida drivers kubuntu 10.04 rocks awesome: my UMTS stick runs at 400KB/s lots of ugly drawing artifacts are gone...good job & congrats to the makers! | 22:16 |
| caprea | How can I check if my processor is 32 or 64 without opening the box? | 22:17 |
| benkay86 | robwlo531: Uh, thanks, but your audience is more likely to be here: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LucidLynx/Final/Kubuntu/Feedback | 22:17 |
| caprea | is there a console command I can use? | 22:17 |
| benkay86 | caprea: If you know the model number, you can Google for it. | 22:17 |
| caprea | well.. its a dell model number, and I cant tell because you can order it with 64bit windows or 32 bit windows | 22:18 |
| robwlo531 | I just _had_ to disable nepomuk as it consumes together with virtuoso > 50% of CPU (dualcore) and that is unacceptable. Is that a bug or just me? | 22:18 |
| robwlo531 | benkay86: I was looking for some feedback link on kubuntu.org, but there I could'nt find any. so, thx | 22:19 |
| caprea | I just dont know what version of kubuntu to download | 22:19 |
| caprea | I dont know if I should get 32 or 64 | 22:19 |
| jimmy51_ | i'm officially a fan of UUID's now | 22:20 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 22:21 |
| Captain_Haddock | caprea: you want to find this out in windows? | 22:22 |
| caprea | no.. its a broken linux system | 22:22 |
| caprea | im reinstalling | 22:22 |
| caprea | want to be sure to get the right version | 22:22 |
| Captain_Haddock | caprea: most hardware diagnostic tools should do so | 22:22 |
| Captain_Haddock | stuff like lshw | 22:22 |
| Captain_Haddock | (from the cli) | 22:23 |
| caprea | this is a broken system, if its not already installed it wont get installed | 22:23 |
| robwlo531 | capera: if memory > 4GB take 64bit as the CPU is very likey to be 64bit then, otherwise 32bit is fine | 22:23 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: if you're booted to linux (liveCD or whatever) you can run lshw as Captain_Haddock said, or run "cat /proc/cpuinfo" | 22:24 |
| jimmy51_ | either one will output information on the CPU | 22:24 |
| caprea | im looking at cpuinfo now | 22:24 |
| Guest52974 | caprea: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 22:24 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: look under model name | 22:24 |
| Guest52974 | and what jimmy said | 22:24 |
| robwlo531 | anybody experiencing heavy CPU usage with nepomuk on 10.04, too? | 22:25 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: mine says Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20Ghz. The key is E2200. if you google "ark E2200" you get a link to intel's product page for that processor | 22:25 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: including 64 bit or not | 22:25 |
| caprea | Intel Core 2 Duo, I guess this means it can run either 32bit or 64bit right | 22:25 |
| caprea | ah | 22:25 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: does it have a model code? E2200, X3450, etc? | 22:25 |
| benkay86 | grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo | 22:26 |
| caprea | E8500 @3.16Ghz | 22:26 |
| benkay86 | Yes, it supports EMT64. | 22:26 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: definitely 64 bit capable. | 22:26 |
| benkay86 | So you may install either the 32 or 64-bit version of Kubuntu, whichever you prefer. | 22:26 |
| Guest52974 | bigger is better :-) | 22:27 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: how much RAM do you have? | 22:27 |
| caprea | I do a lot of intensive stuff on this machine, but I also want grater compatibility (like Flash) | 22:27 |
| caprea | 4Gb I think | 22:27 |
| emorris | hi, does anyone happen to know what the equivalent of kdeaddons is in Ubuntu Lucid? Thanks | 22:27 |
| caprea | 4GB | 22:27 |
| benkay86 | 64-bit flash works fine if you follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash | 22:27 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: eh, you're on the line then. i've got 4GB but installed 64 bit in case i add more. | 22:27 |
| Guest52974 | yeah i did that too | 22:28 |
| benkay86 | caprea: Also, if you do video encoding and such, 64-bit will give you a marginal performance boost even without the extra RAM. | 22:28 |
| caprea | its a science lab machine, number crunching and image processing | 22:28 |
| benkay86 | 64-bit would probably be a good idea then. | 22:28 |
| benkay86 | Unless you are memory constrained and don't need double-precision, but that's most unlikely. | 22:29 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: ah, good. 32 and 64 are numbers, and 64 is twice 32. it should be twice as fast then. | 22:29 |
| jimmy51_ | caprea: :) totally a joke | 22:29 |
| caprea | rigt | 22:29 |
| caprea | I seem to remember there being no 64 bit flash for sometime | 22:30 |
| jimmy51_ | benkay86: did you do the pre-release 64 bit version, or the 32 bit version with some mods? | 22:30 |
| caprea | so I think Ill go with 32 | 22:30 |
| benkay86 | The "pre-release" (its several years old now) of course. | 22:30 |
| jimmy51_ | benkay86: ok. i'll try that one... | 22:30 |
| benkay86 | This is a bit off-topic, but has anyone here gotten OpenCL working on Lucid? I noticed there's a PPA for the ati-stream OpenCL SDK, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet... | 22:31 |
| benkay86 | caprea: If you are doing scientific computing with high-precision floats or large integers, then 64-bit would clearly be the better choice. | 22:32 |
| caprea | its not high precision | 22:32 |
| caprea | its more like biology visualization software | 22:33 |
| Guest52974 | flash has come around, happy 64 bitting! | 22:33 |
| benkay86 | caprea: By "high precision" I mean "Uses the type double, uint64, or long int". Most scientific software does this. | 22:34 |
| benkay86 | On the other hand, if you're software truly doesn't use 64-bit datatypes, then 32-bit is better because pointers to memory end up taking half the space. | 22:35 |
| caprea | thanks benkay86 | 22:35 |
| jimmy51_ | hmm... no response from the keyserver for the 64 bit flash ppa | 22:35 |
| benkay86 | jimmy51_: The Ubuntu keyserver is slow. Try a few more times. | 22:36 |
| benkay86 | Oh dear, the keyserver really is down. Again. >-( | 22:38 |
| CartoonCat | ok so still getting the radeon module race condition, or at least the error that says that the wiki says means it is. is it possible to get the mismatch error for another reason? | 22:52 |
| caprea | when I unmount do I do unmount /dev/sdb1 or unmount /mtn/backup ? | 22:59 |
| benkay86 | Unmount the mountpoint, i.e., /mnt/backup | 23:01 |
| === aperson is now known as crickets | ||

| neosimago | hi people: have there been anyone here looking to get the wifi working on their thinkpad T410? | 23:12 |
| fbxxkl | Anyone here experienced with k3b I am trying to make a video file on my computer into a DVD but I am not sure how (if its even possible) | 23:13 |
| benkay86 | caprea: lsof /mnt/backup to see if anything is still using it. | 23:14 |
| neosimago | fbxxkl: you'll need a app to create the dvd menu, there's some applications to do that; and probably some opensource apps to convert your files to the right mpeg formats and create the vob files you need in a DVD. search in synaptic for dvd... some apps should pop up. | 23:16 |
| fbxxkl | neosimago: ok great thanks | 23:16 |
| caprea | ok I just burned a new image of kubuntu but for some reason computer not booting from it. | 23:19 |
| caprea | I dont see int he BIOS the option to boot form CD | 23:20 |
| caprea | but I know Ive done it | 23:20 |
| neosimago | caprea: did you check the crc on the image you burned from? | 23:20 |
| caprea | no | 23:20 |
| caprea | is crc the m5h? | 23:20 |
| neosimago | caprea: because you should also burn it as an iso, of course you know about that also. | 23:20 |
| neosimago | md5 | 23:21 |
| neosimago | caprea: md5sum | 23:21 |
| caprea | yeah | 23:21 |
| caprea | I burned it onto a DVD from the ISO | 23:21 |
| caprea | oh wait | 23:22 |
| caprea | its working once I selected USB CD Drive from the boot menu | 23:22 |
| caprea | thanks guys | 23:23 |
| caprea | but whats crc? | 23:23 |
| neosimago | caprea: then it sounds like the disk may be fine; just the boot source on the system needs to be verified. | 23:23 |
| neosimago | caprea: crc (md5) is a checksum to verify the data is the same as it should be. (written, and read verification) ciculatory redundancy check. | 23:24 |
| caprea | I was able to do the built-in tool on the installer to check the disk for defects, it is fine. The boot menu is just mislabeled or misleading. Calling my CD drive a USB device | 23:25 |
| Luija1006 | Hello, I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 but the resolution is not the best I can tell... how I can adjust it for my nvidia graphics? Thanks :) | 23:26 |
| neosimago | caprea: that's probably it then right? verify the bios to boot the way you want it. | 23:26 |
| neosimago | Luija1006: nvidia-settings | 23:27 |
| caprea | yep | 23:27 |
| Luija1006 | neosimago: where I can find that option? | 23:28 |
| liddell | Hello friends! I have a problem here I wonder if anybody might have some insight on: I decided to switch my video card drivers from the default xorg ati one to the fglrx one, and my system started booting straight to a command line. I tried removing the fglrx driver and it gives me some error about not being able to remove it. I am booted into a liveCD right now - I tried the command chroot to try and run synaptic to uninstall fglrx | 23:28 |
| liddell | and put back the xorg driver on my non-live system but it gives me some error about not being able to fork py. Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks! | 23:28 |
| neosimago | Luija1006: install it via synaptic | 23:28 |
| neosimago | Luija1006: or run 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings' | 23:29 |
| Luija1006 | neosimago: I can tell the system changed: before you had to go to hardware drivers and configure it, now you have to install it, pretty interesting :) | 23:29 |
| Luija1006 | neosimago: Just kinda wanted to act like a linux noob this day lol | 23:30 |
| liddell | Nobody? | 23:38 |
| liddell | ./Anybody :) ? | 23:38 |
| CartoonCat | anyone able to help with configuring kms/radeon (wiki says race condition) | 23:43 |
| caprea | Okay, I have a fresh install of Kubuntu 10 ! | 23:46 |
| caprea | The first thing I notice and would like to fix is multiple monitors, its seems that the 'Display' section identifies two monitors, but its identifying them as the same | 23:47 |
| caprea | as in: one monitor display both 'DVI 1' and 'DVI 2' | 23:47 |
