[00:00] Hey, kernco, Mamarok: does KDE no longer provide 2 possible shortcut keys for the same command, or I just haven't found the right settings yet? [00:01] Luija1006: In my opinion, huge body of expertise for Intel-based Linux and not much for PowerPC, so I would go with Intel. If you are thinking about an Intel-based Mac, then I suspect it's ok. Disclaimer: I've never used a Mac. [00:01] kwtm: in the global shortcuts there should be an alternative, no? [00:02] wrong, in the standard shortcuts, not in the global ones [00:02] Mamarok: I don't see it. It lists the shortcut, which I can change, but it's either "default" or "custom" and I can only set one key. Will check again. [00:02] but standard should have an alternate one [00:02] kwtm: So I would get more help with traditionals laptops like sony vaio, hp, etc... but mac book pro is ppc? and also I didnt knew intel based imacs existed [00:03] kwtm: the standard shortcuts definitely have alternate ones [00:03] Luija1006: Yes, intel-based Macs exist but I don't know much about them. You would indeed get more help with traditional laptops, but if you haven't bought one yet, you might want to shop around to get one that is known to work with Linux --saves a TON of hassle. [00:05] Luija1006: I myself bought a Dell laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled. I wiped it and installed Kubuntu, but then when the battery started to fail, the repairshop said, "Oh, that's because you're using Ubuntu". And I said, "this laptop came with Ubuntu." So they had to shut up and fix the laptop. [00:05] kwtm: ThinkPad normally all run Linux quite well [00:05] Mamarok: Agree that Thinkpad works well. You need to tell Luija1006 that; I already have a laptop. (Actually, I have 4; one is a ThinkPad with Xubuntu.) [00:06] Mamarok: I would give you a screenshot of my global shortcuts, but I can't even configure the KCaptureScreen thingy (whatever it's called). [00:06] ktdid you read what I said above? Not the global shortcuts, the standard ones, I was wrong and corrected why I said the line after [00:07] kwtm: ^ [00:07] OK, bed time for me, good night all [00:08] Mamarok: Will try std shortcuts. Thx. [00:08] Anyone out there know how to add a network printer? :) [00:08] Mamarok: I see them now. Thanks. [00:09] im running kubuntu lucid amd64 on an intel quad core ........ I have the nero aac codec and associated binaries that are 32 bit binaries - when I try to run them I get a file not found message, I've made sure the full path is correct and everything is spelled correctly, what is wrong and what can I do about it ? [00:09] kwtm: what you recommend me then over the Imac? I was getting interested in it because they say kubuntu runs awesome in it... an hp? do you have a new specific model? [00:09] the binaries are 32-bit btw [00:10] Luija1006: I can only recommend what I know: Dell inspiron laptop works well. Not necessarily better than any other, but for me it is VERY valuable to know that something will work (I'd pay more to have that certainty). [00:10] Luija1006: If you're willing, you can get Dell laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled --will search for URL now. But if you want Windows dual boot, you can buy something with Windows. [00:11] Luija1006: Or else: buy something, try installing Kubuntu, and if it doesn't work, then do a Restore From Drive and return the machine for a refund. [00:11] lol I desinstalled windows milleniums ago kwtm [00:11] anyone ? [00:12] Luija1006: You're older than I am, then. :) I only switched in 2003. [00:14] Luija1006: This should get you started http://www.ubuntu.com/dell but when I checked, I see only the Dell netbook with Ubuntu. Dell is not the only option, just what I know. As Mamarok said, ThinkPads also seem to work well, have lots of drivers available, etc. [00:15] kwtm: I was just interested in the imacs because it will give it a freshlook to my kubuntu, but then if people see the apple and then come to see it expecting mac os and then see linux they would say like... wtf? but I dont really care about that, I just wanted it for the modern looks and because they said ubuntu runs flawlessly.. but if you tell me ppc have less back up than intel that makes me think twice... [00:15] Hey, KDE4 experts: I went to SystemSettings > Keybd/Mouse > Input Actions and I see some examples there of keyboard shortcuts but I can't activate them. Why are those options grayed out? (screenshot coming up) [00:15] Luija1006: Check whether the imacs are Intel-based. If they are, I think you'll be okay. [00:16] kwtm: thanks for the help :), one last question, what you think about hps with linux? (the last models, I think they are called pavilion) [00:17] KDE4 experts: Regarding my question above -- I have found the answer (I forgot to check a checkbox). Please ignore question, thx. [00:17] 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kubuntu, anyway to make that work ? [00:19] Luija1006: You can ask more than one last question. :) I have had bad experience with Compaq/HP desktop --was it called "Pavillion"? Or maybe "Presario"? It just didn't work (it froze on boot-up). That was about 5 years ago, but it has made me leery of HP ever since. (On the other hand, apparently HP printers love linux) [00:19] satch5150: there's a way to put them in some kind of wrapper. I don't know how, try google [00:20] Walzymn: thanks [00:21] kwtm I just found in wikipedia pages than macbook pros processor is based in intel core 2 duo [00:22] ok, let me ask another question, anyone else know of an aac/mp4 encoder that works as well as nero's ? :) [00:23] eject recloses the cdrom tray [00:23] just open and close with no pause [00:29] kwtm: Actually I just found than Mac Book Pro processor is based in intel core 2 duo [00:31] when I run file on NeroAacEnc, it says it's dynamically linked, when I run ldd on it it says there are no shared dependencies [00:32] do which is it and how am I supposed to find out what libs I need ? [00:41] Luija1006: Going to sign off now --battery low on my Dellbuntu laptop. [00:41] kwtm: by and thanks :) [00:41] bye* [01:19] :) [01:21] anyone know how to eject the DVd ? [01:21] :D why isn't there an eject option on the icon in nautilus?! [01:22] oop, better go to #ubuntu since I'm gnome [01:24] Hi, I installed Kubuntu 10.04 netbook remix, but my bootloader disappeared. On top of that, the wireless device is disabled so I can't sudo apt-get install grub because I don't have internet from the LiveUSB. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. [01:29] kacm: I think the boot loader was a know issue let me see what i can find [01:31] thank you! [01:31] kacm: according to what i found grub is just there but hidden [01:32] kacm: To configure advanced boot options, press any key at the first boot screen. [01:32] kacm: and when u say your wirless is disabled what does knetwork manager tell you [01:32] its set to boot from the hdd but it wont load anything [01:33] I tried to activate it but it wont fetch the files, I'll try again and post you what it says [01:34] the first time it tried to load the files and install but now it doesnt even move [01:36] darkdelusions: yes, it is hidden but I can't find a way to make it "appear". And everything I find on the web is about repairing the bootloader if you installed Windows and your other distro disappeared, which is not my case exactly. [01:41] I have firefox set to use kmplayer, but there is no evidence it works. any advice [01:41] ? [02:09] 10.04 has a serious bug with raid installation === fmagno is now known as bombel [02:18] i'm impressed. my workstation upgrade went without a hitch. === jupiter is now known as Guest45704 [02:51] hi [02:52] since upgrade to lucid firefox crashes on flash-containing sites. Can somebody help me? [02:55] Matisse: are you using Adobe flash or Gnash? [02:57] e_t_, adobe [03:02] opera is only playing the sound of flash things, like before [03:05] Hello, could someone explain what I have to do in order to enable compositing for intel 945? It was running fine after install, but now systemsettings clains it is disabled. [03:05] I am running kubuntu 10.4 [03:06] Matisse: Open Firefox, click on Tools > Add-Ons [03:09] flavio: try pressing Alt+Shift+F12 [03:10] e_t_: [03:10] Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values. [03:10] Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type. [03:11] e_t_, already disabled vlc-plugin if you want to suggest that [03:13] e_t_: The compositing type is set to OpenGl. If I could edit the xorg.conf file, but it is now gone, I don't know how to setup X without editing the xorg.conf file. [03:13] Matisse: I mainly wanted to check to make sure Firefox wasn't seeing two flash plugins or something. [03:14] e_t_, but there are 2 different flash version, deactivating the newer helps [03:14] thx [03:18] flavio: this might be helpful to you. It says "fix released": https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/561580 [03:19] e_t_: Thanks, I will have a look on this. [03:22] flavio: I'm not certain, but I think that if you *create* an xorg.conf, the computer will act on it. I've still got a cathode monitor on one computer and it wouldn't remember my resolution settings, until I created an xorg.conf with the nvidia tool (I've got their graphics). It worked. [03:27] e_t_: I think I figured out what happened, I installed Nvidia drivers in this system, I will remove these packages and try again. I know that the xorg.conf could do the trick, but I'm using intel graphics here, and I can't figure out how to generate the xorg.conf, the reconfigure xorg-server does not work anymore. [03:27] e_t_: Thanks again === i is now known as Guest44143 [03:51] e_t_: Removing nvidia packages and reinstalling intel ones worked, compositing is working just fine now, thanks again. [03:58] so, I've installed Kubuntu on a virtual box and it's working fine, but... I can't get my native resolution there (1920x1080). Already installed the addittions. Any ideas? [04:02] uh, I guess its a negative. [04:38] helo [04:39] can i install an antivirus to my kubuntu? cuz i didint dount anythink on kpackagekit [04:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg [04:47] smokealot: the avf antivirus doesnot remove the virus do u know abouth other who really remove the virus [04:49] wtf am I reading. An antivirus for linux. [04:49] hstefan: maybe to run scans on his window partition ;) [04:50] PSiL0: oh, I see. [04:52] hstefan: run scans from an environment that he knows is safe, heh [04:52] what is a file tar.tz [04:54] Don't you meant tar.gz? [04:54] or tar.bz? [04:54] tar.gz is the Unix equivalent of a zip file. [04:55] PSiL0: got your point heh [04:55] As is a tar.bz file, only using a different compression scheme. [05:06] does anybody know how to get mplayer to either embed or stream flash to external? [05:07] whammo: what exactly do you mean by stream? [05:07] and which protocol ? [05:07] to stream .swf either external or embedded using mplayer [05:08] example: youtube [05:08] mplayer plays well with jack === ubuntu is now known as eagles0513875 [05:20] Since when do we need angels here? [05:20] angels? NOOOOO [05:20] dont blink. dont even blink. blink, and you're dead. don't close your eyes. don't look away. and don't blink. [05:20] * Daughain chuckles. [05:21] hello [05:21] how do I install java jre on kubuntu [05:24] hi guys, new to kubuntu, My system crashed and I lost the trasparent box on the desktop. How can I get it back? [05:24] can anybody recommend a browser that they can confirm as supporting a kmplayer plugin for flash video? === malik_ is now known as MBadass [06:55] Hey [06:56] how's it going [06:57] anyone online? [06:57] Sorta. [06:58] Hey iono if im in the right place, but I was wondering if there were any new music managers that were good [06:58] I've gotten tired of Amarok, Rhythmbox, and songbird doesn't match my sync needs =P === MBadass is now known as Gaecyn [07:00] * Daughain shrugs.. [07:00] I use VLC for amm my media./ [07:00] there's alxays mpg321 [07:01] always* [07:01] !info mpg321 [07:01] mpg321 (source: mpg321): mpg123 clone that doesn't use floating point. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.10.6 (lucid), package size 35 kB, installed size 132 kB [07:01] new kubuntu ask me about untrusted packages like Windows Vista :) [07:01] heh [07:01] you sure? sayed she [07:01] k thanks, I think i've finally found a wiki that should help me out [07:02] I will check out mpg321 looks pretty light [07:02] Landgraf: try not to stray offtopic please [07:02] We got a whole nother channel just for that./ [07:03] Gaecyn: mpg321 is a cli app [07:03] Oh sorry, like I said I wasn't sure if I was in the right room. [07:03] Daughain: a link? [07:04] ????? [07:04] #Kubuntu-Offtopic? [07:04] Daughain> We got a whole nother channel just for that./ moetunes> Daughain: a link? [07:04] ahhh offtopic... [07:04] Link for what?? [07:05] Daughain> We got a whole nother channel just for that./ moetunes> Daughain: a link? [07:05] * Daughain shakes his head.... [07:05] this not offtopic, this a question - why official repozit have untrusted packages? [07:05] i don't connect left repozit [07:06] Daughain: you new what you were talking about - I guess that's all that counts [07:07] Landgraf: An untrusted package is one not supported by the 'official' release....Often proprietary stuff. [07:07] A legal issue more than anything else. [07:09] mhmm...I have a question regarding the networking capabilities of kubuntu. [07:09] Gaecyn: are we guessing the question ? i like guessing games [07:09] actually never mind.. [07:09] it was a bad question [07:10] because I just realized I have a built in wlan card that doesn't support mesh networking [07:10] so i would never be able to utilize the answer [07:10] * Daughain chuckles... [07:10] Gaecyn: you can create mesh networks if that was your question [07:11] mesh networks basically allow you to share a wifi connection you have alongside an adhoc network? [07:11] erm not exactly. they can do that [07:12] it just means that each node acts as an independant router [07:13] big files (1.5 Gb) is very long copy on USB-drive? haw remove this trouble? [07:13] 30 minutes [07:13] Landgraf: don't copy big files or buy an esata usb key...or compress the files [07:13] Landgraf: is it an old comp - using usb1? [07:14] no, new pc, in Win - 10 min [07:14] k [07:14] Landgraf: is it mounted with the sync option ? [07:14] that would reduce performance [07:15] auto moun, i dont mount manually [07:15] Landgraf: have a look and see, maybe the system thought for some reason it should be mounted with sync [07:15] mount willl show you which options were used [07:16] i can to see it in Dolphin? [07:16] not sure sorry. [07:19] this is how mine looks [07:19] /dev/sdg1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush) [07:21] mase_wk: i don't see 'sync option' in "mount --help" [07:21] Landgraf: just type mount [07:21] it will show you a list of current mountpoints and their options [07:22] ok [07:22] i got a programming question> if anoyne can help, what is the difference between interface Vs Class Vs Abstract class [07:23] in OOP such as c++, C# or java? [07:24] anyone? anything? [07:25] mase_wk: /dev/sdb1 on /media/PRETEC type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush) [07:25] mase_wk: there is trouble? [07:36] Landgraf: looks ok .Not really sure sorry. [07:38] mase_wk: i read that thes trouble is in kde, but not in gnome.. i'll think more... [07:42] Landgraf: which version are you using ? [07:43] could be a dolphin issue i guess. [07:44] dolphin 1.4, kde 4.4.2 [07:44] hmm ok. not really sure sorry . so if you use nautilus it transfers quickly ? [07:45] now trying via 'cp' [07:45] ok even better [07:45] wait still [07:47] not see progress line and countdown :) [07:48] does cp have a progress option. You can use `time` to time how long something takes if you like [07:49] no look this opltion === ece7361 is now known as fakedrake [08:18] * starslights great's the chan [08:18] i want to install lucid on an ldap authenticating network, are there any significant related bugs at the current release?

I have a question. I'm runnning Ubuntu 9.10, and I'd like to switch to kubuntu 10.4 ; what would you suggest as the most painless way to do it? Thanks! [08:34] well there is not much more to say, there is an ldap server and all i want is to rely that it will work on 10.04 as it works on 9.04 now [08:34] moetunes [08:35] !ldap | fakedrake [08:35] fakedrake: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [08:36] fakedrake: seems all is as was [08:36] whois Guest94139 [08:36] i mean i have 9.04 on the client and it works flawlessly, i want 10.04 to have the same quality [08:37] i mean i have heard some bad rumors [08:37] so i thought i would ask you guys [08:38] ok ill try it and see how it goes from there [08:38] thanks a lot [08:58] Hi [08:58] How are you guys :) [08:59] present =) [08:59] !hi | pioneer [08:59] pioneer: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [09:00] Hi Moetunes [09:00] I am here to thank you , all of you , for your help and support this great O.S [09:09] Where can I download a CD cover for Kubuntu 10.04? [09:10] !artwork [09:10] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [09:12] guys, does any of you use oracle? question is where to put my tnsnames.ora file so that TOra would take it? i got it in /etc/oracle on my gentoo, but this doesnt work on kubuntu [09:21] Well, those are nice links, but none of them contain CD covers for Kubuntu [09:25] I'd like some official labels [09:26] alvin: I'm not sure there are any [09:26] !kubuntu [09:26] kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [09:26] might try http://kubuntu.org [09:27] I am sure they exist. After all, you can order a free CD and that's not a blank cd. I already searched on http://kubuntu.org [09:27] !logo [09:27] Official Ubuntu artwork including the Ubuntu logo can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official [09:27] might be there [09:27] That site only contains the Kubuntu logo [09:28] I'm outta links then sorry alvin - ot something I've looked into [09:29] no problem [09:29] s/ot/not [09:31] alvin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/VisualIdentity [09:31] all the new logos :) [09:32] I'm happy with all the links guys, but those are not Kubuntu cd labels. Nice logo's, but they are Ubuntu logo's [09:33] alvin: oh you need the Kubuntu cd cover? [09:33] Yes, that one [09:36] alvin: hold on.. [09:42] alvin: /join #ubuntu-artwork [09:42] done === ubuntu is now known as Seele00TextOnly [10:22] my firefox is not integrated although ihave installed kmozillahelper already. Am i missing something? === frogonwheels__ is now known as frogonwheels [10:36] Greenery: and you've restarted firefox since installing kmozillahelper? [10:36] iconmefisto: yup i did [10:36] Greenery: did you install firefox from official repos? [10:37] yes I do install from the official repos [10:38] is it plymouth that is responsible for the animated splash screen kubuntu logo in 10.4, and could it be there is a regression after upgrade to plymouth 0.8.2-2 ? Before i was so happy to have a high resolution by default, even on vt linux console, which is gone again after upgrade [10:39] Greenery: if you go to about:config in firefox, search for "file_picker", is ui.allow_platform_file_picker set to "true" ? [10:40] it is set to true [10:42] or could this be the mesa, grub2 or even the kernel package which where upgraded in that cycle as well? [10:43] alab: there are grub settings for resolution in /etc/default/grub [10:43] alab: if you edit that file, sudo update-grub afterwards [10:43] isn't grub and the kernel having conflicts at the moment? [10:44] yes it is just that it worked surprisingly after dist-upgrade to 10.4 and now it is at low-res again [10:44] i think i'm gonna try to install firefox using the kubuntu firefox installer [10:44] vga= wise [10:45] worked==high resolution detected and applied [10:46] alab: you can add "set gfxpayload=1200x800" to the grub kernel line (some resolution that your monitor natively supports) [10:47] thank you will have a look at that one [10:47] i have same problem as alab too, after installed nvidia driver, i got splash screen more bigger as the windows size [10:48] thanks for advice but since i wasn't able to boot one time because not driver would like to load, i will not change grub setting, not enough knowledge, but thanks for advice [10:50] oh i had the ati drivers, but after them failing i throwed them away and was so happy to see the free driver did a good job and even gave me highres linux console without searching days and setting up everything [10:50] hey [10:51] how do i find out whats the max read rate(MB/s) of hdd? [10:52] n8w: hmm... well that depends.. try copying a large file... [10:52] man hdparm iirc shadeslayer [10:53] moetunes: nope,ive tries that [10:53] moetunes: isnt that used to set HDD parameters? [10:53] shadeslayer: yep it is...it doesnt rly show anythin i need [10:53] shadeslayer: it does more then that [10:53] n8w: my point too... [10:54] moetunes: really? ive just tried it to set my hd speed.. not measure it [10:54] n8w: im sure there are tools to read the disk speed [10:54] moetunes: ive tried that...it shows buffered reads and cache reads...thats it [10:54] shadeslayer: ye,but ive been tryin to find any of those for a quite long time n ive got nothin.... [10:55] the -T option in man hdparm [10:55] -t Perform timings of device reads for benchmark and comparison purposes [10:56] moetunes: ive tried with both [10:56] what more do you want? [10:57] moetunes: i need to know the max transfer rate in MB/s...not buffered or cache reads === malik_ is now known as Gaecyn [10:58] Still my firefox integration with KDE is not working. I even tried to install using the kubuntu-firefox-installer [10:58] Hey guys [10:58] moetunes: buffered reads or cache reads dont say anythin about maximum read transfer rate(app-->hdd) [10:59] n8w: apart from man hdpam I don't know what to suggest [11:00] Hey in rythmbox I have a problem, it will not play songs. It identifies them but it just keeps skipping after song after song. Could this be a codec problem? [11:00] moetunes: i think i gotta go thr0 bonnie++ manual:// :)) === shadesla1er is now known as shadeslayer [11:04] what the fuck...Amarok doesn't have native support for mp3 playback?

[11:05] Gaecyn: it has support for MP3 [11:05] Gaecyn: you dont have the codecs installed [11:05] Gaecyn, watch the language [11:05] !lanaguage > Gaecyn [11:05] sorry [11:05] Gaecyn: *buntu cant provide closed codecs on a open system [11:05] !mp3 | Gaecyn [11:05] Gaecyn: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:06] I just presumed that it would have the capacity to play them if rythmbox could [11:06] Gaecyn: Amarok uses the xine backend, isntall libxine1-ffmpeg for mp3 codecs [11:06] install* [11:06] Sorry again, spent all morning looking for a currently updated music player that I wouldn't have to run on wine. [11:07] Gaecyn: ew... i suppose you run vlc in wine too> [11:07] ?huh? [11:08] shadeslayer: leave it [11:08] Mamarok: :P === malik_ is now known as gaecyn [11:13] but ofcourse I run vlc in wine [11:13] how else am I going to enjoy such great media === suni is now known as mattaj [11:14] gaecyn: well, VLC runs natively in Linux, no need to run it in wine [11:14] gaecyn: get the packages from the repo, it works without a problem [11:15] Yeah I kinda noticed, but that kinda leads me into my question. I understand that running most windows based programs in wine leads into large hassels and drawbacks. Is that true of most windows programs or is it just my imagination? [11:16] gaecyn: told you :) [11:16] Mamarok: ^^ [11:16] gaecyn: why don't you just try the available Linux programs first? Most of the time there is no need for a Windows program anyway [11:16] unless there is nothing equivalent, but I doubt that, besides some prorpeitary games [11:17] proprietary* [11:17] You're right, and I have still never run into a problem like not finding a program. But I keep looking at the crossover suite [11:17] hi there [11:18] *sigh* [11:18] which just seems like a bigger wine with a price tag.. [11:18] I upgraded ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04 , but not kde can't start , plasma crashes [11:18] what to do now ? [11:18] gaecyn: why do you insist of wanting tu use WIndows programs in the first place? [11:18] silv3r_m00n: does it crash as soon as you login? [11:18] yup === robin is now known as Guest99643 [11:19] silv3r_m00n: ok switch to a tty with : ctrl+alt+F1 : and rename your .kde dir.. : mv .kde .kde_old [11:19] mainly because I have an iphone, and itunes is the only thing that is tying me into windows. [11:20] shadeslayer: hmm [11:20] gaecyn: which is called vendor lock-in... next time you buy hardware think first [11:20] I am in gnome , I can do it here only [11:20] I know that 10.4 provides support for it, but im kind of weary about using it as non itunes solutions to syncing my apple devices lead to currupt my devices [11:21] silv3r_m00n: yeah if youre in gnome thats safe [11:21] You're right, and I had the iphone 2 years ago..i've moved over to linux in the first of this year. [11:21] i mean last year [11:22] shadeslayer: I renamed it [11:22] silv3r_m00n: ok now logout and login via kde [11:22] after this upgrade fonts have become strange , they appear bigger and less clear than on karmic koala [11:23] ill brb [11:27] konqueror is not showing ubuntu forum correctly. characters go off screen to the right/around links is wrong. Other sites OK. How can I fix this? I am new to KDE. [11:28] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 + KDE 4.3. Could you please help me to install/upgrade to KDE 4.4.3 ? [11:30] quietone: hold on...

I am learning how to configure quassell [11:32] quietone: oh.. just press alt+f2 and type : konsole : that will open a terminal.. then type : sudo apt-get install kpart-webkit [11:32] Could you please help me ? [11:33] ershad: um 4.4.3 is not available for karmic i think [11:33] shadeslayer: ok, no other way to install it ? [11:33] ershad: theres 4.4.2 i believe [11:34] shadeslayer: fine, could you please tell me how to install it ? [11:34] quietone: then go here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6674669&postcount=2 [11:34] shadeslayer: Couldn't find package kpart-webkit [11:34] shadeslayer: i tried adding the lucid repo, but didn't work :( [11:35] ershad: thats dangerous [11:35] ershad: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa [11:35] quietone: do you have universe enabled?

Can I go to windows and format the partition that ubuntu currently occupies? [11:38] shadeslayer: what is kpk? man kpk shows nothing. [11:38] ershad: ok,add that PPA and update,you should get a notice for upgrades [11:38] quietone: kpk stands for kpackagekit [11:38] shadeslayer: ok, thank you very much, Nice day :) [11:39] asina12: that wont be necessary... just grab a live iso and burn it to a CD [11:39] shadeslayer can you help me? [11:40] Zombie__: hmm.. well theres a resolution setting module in ksystemsettings [11:40] yes I am using that [11:40] every time I log into system [11:40] Zombie__: what card? [11:40] graphics card... [11:40] Intel dg41rq built in [11:40] shadeslayer: then I will boot the live CD to install Kubuntu right? I can simply overwrite the partition occupied by Ubuntu using the LiveCD? [11:41] asina12: yes,just choose manual partitioning and overwrite your current ubuntu partition [11:41] I want to change the default res. [11:41] Zombie__: hmm.. no idea then...
