| scott_j | bodom: same thing | 00:01 |
| scott_j | i hovered my mouse over for some time, but it did not show the folder contents | 00:02 |
| scott_j | is this bug ? | 00:02 |
| bodom | scott_j: my folder view widget does that, maybe you have this functionality disabled on preferences? | 00:02 |
| scott_j | bodom : where can i enable that ? | 00:03 |
| bodom | scott_j: right click on widget's background, then choose "settings" on the context menu | 00:03 |
| scott_j | bodom: I checked settings , but dont find which option to set | 00:05 |
| scott_j | there are four categories, Location,Display,Filter,Keyboard Shortcut and Share | 00:06 |
| scott_j | In Location, i have specied a folder, /home/scott_j/Documents | 00:06 |
| scott_j | bodom: Which option exactly are u referring to | 00:07 |
| scott_j | ? | 00:07 |
| bodom | scott_j: mhhh... you are right, setting is not there | 00:07 |

| scott_j | bodom: are u using Lucid ? | 00:07 |
| bodom | scott_j: yep | 00:08 |
| scott_j | and u have that functionality in folder view widget ? | 00:08 |
| bodom | scott_j: yes | 00:09 |
| scott_j | bodom: strange..im using kubuntu 10.04 too..what could be the reason im facing this problem ? | 00:09 |
| scott_j | bodom: had u enabled that setting urself somewhere ? | 00:10 |
| bodom | scott_j: no, I got it enabled by default when installed 9.10 | 00:11 |
| bodom | scott_j: then upgraded to 10.04 and is still there | 00:11 |
| scott_j | bodom: oh i see, i had done a fresh install of 10.04 | 00:11 |
| scott_j | maybe thats the reason then | 00:11 |
| bodom | scott_j: I'mnot 100% sure we'r talking about same thing, I mean this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Ep3VaiHZE | 00:12 |
| bodom | scott_j: is what you are looking for? | 00:12 |
| scott_j | bodom: oh thanks for showing that..we were not talking about the same thing :D | 00:14 |
| scott_j | i have that functionality too | 00:14 |
| scott_j | i meant folder view widget in the status bar | 00:14 |
| scott_j | if i add folder view widget to status bar then on clicking it i get a popup showing a list of all folders | 00:15 |
| bodom | scott_j: yes, it's same for me then :D | 00:16 |
| scott_j | lol..ok | 00:16 |
| bodom | scott_j: dunno how to change it, sry | 00:17 |
| scott_j | bodom: its ok..thnkx for helping :) | 00:17 |
| bodom | scott_j: nothing | 00:17 |
| scott_j | i think its a bug,because in some earlier version of kubuntu it worked that way | 00:18 |

| EroKaos | I have a silly question, I'm trying to speed up FF using the tips here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne/Ubuntu8.04 but I'm not sure how to replace the "places.sqlite". | 01:47 |
| EroKaos | I'm not sure what to do with the commands (where and how to input them). Any help is appreciate it. | 01:47 |
| PeterDrop | hi all, can u please tellme some tip in order to get sound in my pc front panel? | 01:49 |

| AmaraEmerson | hi, not sure where to ask this. im using awesome wm on lucid. if my terminal emulator (uxterm) uses colors strongly favouring R/G/B i get awful aliasing | 02:03 |
| AmaraEmerson | it's doing AA, but it's unreadable | 02:04 |
| EroKaos | the tweak say "replace places.sqlite from your firefox profile by a symbolic link that links to this temporary file. This can be done e.G. by:" | 02:04 |
| AmaraEmerson | not sure how to describe it, if i change settings to include other colour components, the problem eases | 02:04 |
| EroKaos | then gives me those commands | 02:04 |
| AmaraEmerson | some crazy subpixel stuff going wrong i think | 02:05 |
| chuckf | EroKaos: what happens when you execute those commands at the terminal? | 02:05 |
| EroKaos | i can only get into the firefox folder | 02:06 |
| EroKaos | the rest doesnt work | 02:06 |
| chuckf | do you still have the places.sqlite file in you profile directory? | 02:07 |
| EroKaos | it should be | 02:07 |
| EroKaos | let me verify | 02:07 |
| EroKaos | yea still there | 02:09 |
| chuckf | and it is a real file and not the symlink you created as part of those commands? | 02:09 |
| EroKaos | yeah | 02:10 |
| EroKaos | ah forget it, getting a headache | 02:12 |
| EroKaos | will try later | 02:12 |
| chuckf | its a fairly simple command, what is the output of 'ls -ltra places.sqlite' | 02:12 |
| EroKaos | no such file or directory | 02:13 |
| chuckf | then something didn't execute properly | 02:15 |

| lucitu | need help fixing a looping kdm logon? or cud be an xserver issue? | 03:37 |
| lucitu | radeon driver..used to work but stopped after the 4.4.3 botched update | 03:38 |
| moetunes | lucitu: you could check the X log in a tty | 03:44 |
| lucitu | moetunes: not much but i do see soemthing like signal timedout? | 03:46 |
| moetunes | lucitu: if you have a xorg.conf rename it and let X set things automatically | 03:47 |
| lucitu | moetunes: tried it but doesn't like it..drop to tty logon | 03:48 |
| moetunes | lucitu: when it does that is the best chance to find out from the log what the hassle is | 03:49 |
| lucitu | moetunes: even tried removing /etc/X11 and the reinstalled xserver | 03:49 |
| lucitu | *then | 03:50 |
| moetunes | lucitu: does lsmod | grep radeon return anything? | 03:50 |
| lucitu | moetunes: yes..tried to rmmod but in use by ttm, drm* | 03:52 |
| lucitu | moetunes: tried to rrmod these too but there seems to be a circ usage..used by radeon. | 03:53 |
| moetunes | lucitu: how did you install the radeon driver? | 03:54 |
| lucitu | moetunes: if there is no xorg.conf..where does X finds it's config? | 03:54 |
| moetunes | lucitu: it does it automatically is all I know | 03:54 |
| lucitu | moetunes: installed xsever-xorg-video-radeon | 03:54 |
| moetunes | lucitu: then you could try sudo apt-get remove --purge xsever-xorg-video-radeon | 03:55 |
| lucitu | moetunes: tried it already..removed xorg-core radeon kdm deleted /etc/X11 and reinstalled ..no luck | 03:56 |
| moetunes | lucitu: then you must have reinstalled radeon 'cause it is in use now - try without that driver | 03:57 |
| lucitu | moetunes: that's the only driver installed..even tried importing a known working xorg.conf | 03:58 |
| moetunes | lucitu: try the ati driver then mate - since the radeon one isn't working for you | 04:00 |
| lucitu | moetunes: radeon works till this time..just can't get past the logon..seems to start ok then boom blackout then back to kdm | 04:03 |
| moetunes | lucitu: and you said there was a timeout in the Xorg.0.log right | 04:04 |
| lucitu | moetunes: wanted the fglrx but cud never get the gl working..this is an ATI radeon 3000 760G | 04:05 |
| lucitu | moetunes: that's what seems to be when i 'startx' instead | 04:05 |
| moetunes | lucitu: try sudo service kdm stop then startx maybe - it does sound like the driver tho | 04:07 |
| lucitu | moetunes: anyway thnks..might as well trash it if this won't work.. | 04:09 |
| moetunes | lucitu: you just need a diff driver for now it seems | 04:10 |

| darkdelusions | ok this is a very odd annoying bug that i dont understand | 04:52 |
| darkdelusions | if cold boot my laptop... Knetworkmanger does start up correctly | 04:52 |
| darkdelusions | if i Hibernate my laptop it prompts me for my wallet password and start up as expected | 04:53 |
| moetunes | that's a bug? | 04:54 |
| darkdelusions | it appears to be | 04:54 |
| darkdelusions | there is no reason why a cold boot should my not start knetworkmanager as expected unless there something jacked in the session which I am trying find out now | 04:55 |
| moetunes | that darkdelusions> if cold boot my laptop... Knetworkmanger does start up correctly and darkdelusions> if i Hibernate my laptop it prompts me for my wallet password and start up as expected ? | 04:55 |
| darkdelusions | let me see if I can explain that better | 04:56 |
| moetunes | thnx | 04:56 |
| darkdelusions | if I boot my laptop up after doing a normal shutdown... Knetworkmanager doesnt start the tray icon but it is running in the background. If I hibernate my system then take it back out of hibernate knetworkmanger show up in the task bar and wireless the wallet asks me for my password as it should. | 04:57 |
| darkdelusions | I am not truely sure if that was explained any better | 04:59 |
| moetunes | so knetworkmanager not showing in the tray at first boot is the issue? - I've not heard that one before | 04:59 |
| moetunes | does sudo service network restart get it showing? | 05:00 |
| darkdelusions | I didnt try that yet I know if i toss a ethernet cable in and do an sudo ifconfig eth0 up it works just fine | 05:01 |
| darkdelusions | let me try the reboot real quick and try it | 05:02 |
| darkdelusions | Now that funny | 05:04 |
| darkdelusions | the second I go and try it | 05:04 |

| o_a | Also, the default resolution is at 1024x768, when my monitor's maximum resolution is 1280x1024 | 05:37 |
| moetunes | via is pretty sad for graphics - what's the card? - lspci | grep VGA will tell | 05:38 |
| jack-desktop | can anyone tell me how to get rid of this kde Nepomuk Strigi File indexing program? | 05:39 |
| jack-desktop | i dont even want kde installed | 05:39 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: how did you get kde installed | 05:40 |
| o_a | moetunes: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01) | 05:40 |
| moetunes | !info ntfs-config | apparle | 05:40 |
| ubottu | apparle: ntfs-config (source: ntfs-config): Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-3ubuntu5 (lucid), package size 87 kB, installed size 844 kB | 05:40 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: if you have kubuntu then kde is the default system.. | 05:40 |
| apparle | moetunes: a little more info than that | 05:40 |
| jack-desktop | apparle, i don't, someone from #ubuntu redirected me here, i thought it'd give it a try | 05:41 |
| moetunes | apparle: I don't use ntfs anywhere so... | 05:41 |
| jack-desktop | and i don't know how anything kde related ended up getting installe | 05:41 |
| moetunes | it prob came with an app you installed | 05:42 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: so basically you are an ubuntu user and somehow ended up installing kde? | 05:42 |
| apparle | moetunes: no I am asking which one is better writing fstab or using ntfs-config | 05:42 |
| jack-desktop | apparle, i don't know if it's fully installed but i know some kde programs are and i can't find how out to uninstall this nepomul strigi file indexing program | 05:42 |
| jack-desktop | probably got installed when i tried to install okteta | 05:43 |
| moetunes | apparle: I would just write the fstab entry - for filesystem you use ntfs-3g apparently | 05:43 |
| apparle | moetunes: ok | 05:43 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: right now you are in gnome right? | 05:44 |
| jack-desktop | apparle, correct | 05:44 |
| moetunes | o_a: do you have a mode line with 1280x1024 in it in xorg.conf? | 05:45 |
| o_a | moetunes: | 05:45 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: so just remove okteta... | 05:45 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: do you remember what command did you use to install okteta... or anyother changes you made | 05:45 |
| moetunes | o_a: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 05:45 |
| jack-desktop | apparle, i did, it didn't remove the nepomul strigi file indexing program | 05:45 |
| jack-desktop | apparle, i installed okteta through the software center | 05:46 |
| o_a | moetunes: Yes. Actually, 1280x1024 is supported, but is not enabled by default on init, even if I configure it to do so. | 05:46 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: so.. do one thing | 05:46 |
| apparle | jack-desktop: open terminal and "sudo apt-get autoremove" | 05:46 |
| moetunes | o_a: from www.google.com/linux there aren't mny mentions of that card - so it either works for most or is rarely used | 05:47 |
| o_a | moetunes: Right now, my screen is @1280x1024, but, if I restart, the resolution goes back to 1024x768 | 05:47 |
| moetunes | o_a: that's why I mentioned the entry in xorg.conf | 05:47 |
| jack-desktop | apparle, done. it's still in my tray and there is no option to close it. it's really annoying. | 05:48 |
| o_a | SubSection "Display" | 05:48 |

| apparle | jack-desktop: did you reboot after that | 05:48 |
| jack-desktop | apparle, brb | 05:48 |
| moetunes | o_a: remove the ones that are too large - the first one is the tried at boot then it goes to the default which must be 1024x768 | 05:49 |
| apparle | guys I don't have glxgears | 05:50 |
| bdizzle | hi, I was wondering what known issues there are or problems people have had with Kubuntu 10.04? | 05:50 |
| o_a | xserver-xorg-openchrome used to work in KDE 3 but it seems to conflict with Kwin from KDE 4. | 05:51 |
| o_a | brb | 05:51 |
| moetunes | apparle: seems you need mesa-utils for it | 05:51 |
| moetunes | !find glxgears | 05:51 |
| ubottu | File glxgears found in fglrx, fvwm-crystal, mesa-utils, phoronix-test-suite, xmanpages-ja | 05:51 |
| bdizzle | right now I'm running 9.04 if that helps anyone | 05:53 |
| bdizzle | i'm wondering, since I partitioned my home directory seperate under ext3, will that get overwritten to make it ext4? | 05:54 |
| moetunes | bdizzle: not unless you select to format it as ext4 | 05:55 |
| o_a | moetunes: Thanks. That did the resolution problem, but I still get no 3D rendering | 05:55 |
| moetunes | o_a: afaik via doesn't do 3d... | 05:55 |
| bdizzle | ok. Will it cause issues for the root partition to be on ext4 and home to be on ext3? | 05:56 |
| moetunes | bdizzle: nope - it will be fine | 05:56 |
| bdizzle | cool, thanks | 05:56 |
| o_a | moetunes: Really? I used to get 3D with xserver-xorg-openchrome | 05:57 |
| o_a | But it does not work with KDE 4 for some reason | 05:57 |
| moetunes | o_a: I did say afaik... - using openchrome now? | 05:57 |
| o_a | moetunes: No. Trying to use VIA driver from their website | 05:58 |
| bdizzle | ugh, we have to upgrade to 9.10 first, then up to 10.04? | 05:58 |
| bdizzle | we can't go straight from 9.04 to 10.04? | 05:59 |
| moetunes | bdizzle: to go from 9.04? - yep - or fresh install | 05:59 |
| moetunes | !clone | 05:59 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 05:59 |
| bdizzle | okay, I guess fresh install then, and then since the home and root partitions are seperate, don't touch the home at all | 06:00 |
| o_a | I'm going to sleep now. Having resolution fixed seems enough for today. Ty, moetunes | 06:01 |
| moetunes | np :] o_a | 06:01 |
| bdizzle | thanks moetunes | 06:15 |
| bawww | is there a way to make KDE4 lighter? | 06:27 |
| bawww | sort of shave off some non-essential services? | 06:28 |

| flavio | bawww: the video card | 06:30 |

| moetunes | TheAncientGoat: is it still there after a logout/login or reboot? | 06:37 |
| bawww | right now it's nothing, but when it does run easily surpasses 60% | 06:37 |

| moetunes | 60% | 06:37 |
| moetunes | what's the app using the resources? | 06:37 |
| TheAncientGoat | moetunes: Will check, but I've got work to do so cant really reboot now | 06:37 |
| moetunes | k | 06:38 |
| moetunes | TheAncientGoat: hard to select another font to work with atm? | 06:38 |
| bawww | moetunes: firefox-bin | 06:38 |
| bawww | with a flash youtube video, right now at 83% | 06:39 |
| moetunes | bawww: it will be pulling in gtk libs to work with so no wonder | 06:39 |
| flavio | bawww: Try other browsers then, I am using right now chromium, try opera too | 06:39 |
| bawww | ok, let me try arora then | 06:40 |
| flavio | bawww: I use the flashblock plugin too, only use flash when I want | 06:40 |
| bawww | flavio: me too | 06:40 |
| bawww | worse on arora, getting 102% cpu usage | 06:41 |
| bawww | looks like flash is the culprit | 06:41 |
| TheAncientGoat | moetunes: I've already changed it (increased font size from 5 to 12) | 06:41 |
| vbgunz__ | youtube is virtually unusable in KDE 4.4.3 | 06:41 |
| moetunes | k | 06:42 |
| vbgunz__ | I mean, the videos play in konqueror and firefox and hover elements reflect your hovering, but I can no longer *click* on anything in any youtube videos. whats up? | 06:42 |
| bawww | vbgunz__: i have the same problem | 06:43 |
| bawww | but mostly on firefox | 06:43 |
| flavio | I'm am using kubuntu 10.4 anf flash is running just fine, I have a Dual core intel cpu and a basic nvidia gpu. | 06:44 |
| flavio | top reports 50% cpu usage when running youtube videos | 06:45 |
| bawww | flavio: even when viewing HD content? | 06:45 |
| flavio | In fact sometimes I see 6, 8 videos at a time | 06:45 |
| flavio | no, no HD | 06:45 |

| vbgunz__ | bawww: you watching youtube now and have the problem? | 06:47 |
| === Guest67347 is now known as hceasyon | ||
| bawww | non flash HD videos like quicktime/mov container usually run fine, out of the browser in a desktop player. the cpu barely reaches 25% | 06:48 |
| flavio | Try to disable the graphics effects and see if this helps, but looks like flash is the real culprit of your slow down system. | 06:49 |
| bawww | vbgunz__: yes, sometimes i have to switch tabs in order to get clicking to working | 06:49 |
| vbgunz__ | bawww: hmm, mines just started working. 1 of 2 things fixed it. switching desktops OR clicking and holding on a widget of the youtube player. not sure :/ | 06:51 |
| vbgunz__ | bawww: but the controls are working for me again. funny though. this just happened in konqueror and I opened firefox to view something and the same thing | 06:51 |
| vbgunz__ | anyhow, at least in firefox now, I can click and affect the widgets. so maybe desktop switching or clicking and holding on a widget.... not sure. | 06:52 |
| bawww | flavio: thanks for your help | 06:52 |
| bawww | moetunes: thanks for the infor | 06:52 |
| moetunes | np ;] | 06:52 |
| bawww | i'm going to leave effects off, plasma still looks really good without it | 06:53 |
| bawww | vbgunz__: there's a thread on ubuntuforums about it | 06:54 |
| bawww | vbgunz__: but it's for 64bit flash | 06:54 |
| bawww | vbgunz__: the work around seems to work for a lot of people | 06:54 |

| Newbee | I am using kubuntu lucid. And my system is always hanging on resume. resume from ram hangs, resume from disk takes forever. With karmic resuming from ram did work. But both was slow | 08:34 |

| Newbee | doesn't anyone else out here face such problems with resuming? | 08:43 |
| flavio | Newbe: Like what? | 08:44 |
| Newbee | resuming for me is much, much slower than booting and in very much cases it just hangs. | 08:44 |
| flavio | Newbee: Like what? | 08:44 |
| Newbee | flavio: like my resume problems | 08:44 |
| flavio | Newbee: When I resume from disk it is true | 08:44 |
| flavio | Newbee: I realized that only resume to ram is usable | 08:45 |
| flavio | Newbee: Maybe you should turn off lock screen on resume too. | 08:45 |
| Newbee | flavio: and from ram? with karmic at least that worked bearably, but now with lucid it's just a mess and hangs almost always | 08:45 |
| flavio | Newbee: From ram is usable, I'm on a Lenovo S10e here. | 08:46 |
| Newbee | flavio: I am not feeling good without lock screen, but I'll try because this way my system really anoys me | 08:47 |
| denis | Hi everybody ! looks more dynanmic than on French speaking ones | 08:47 |
| flavio | Newbee: I see, but for my use, basic study, this is not essential | 08:48 |

| denis | I have a problem. Can I start my question, or shall I wait for newbee to solve his topic ? | 08:49 |
| flavio | Newbee: Suspend to ram works, my only grip is that my wireless get desconected | 08:49 |
| flavio | denis: Go on | 08:50 |
| moetunes | denis: you just ask away in here :] | 08:50 |
| Newbee | denis: of course you can ask. Everyone that can and / or wants to help me can still do so! | 08:50 |
| denis | Thanks. I have a problem with libxine1 under kde 4. When I start any program running this lib, it krashes instantly. So I would like to do a kind reinstall. I did apt-get reinstall libxine1 but did not change anyhting. | 08:51 |
| denis | If I remove it, then, with dependencies set, the whole kde is leaving away. | 08:53 |
| denis | what could be the solution for that ? by the way : Firefox and virtualbox are able to use sounds without krashing. | 08:53 |
| moetunes | denis: thing to do is start an app that uses it from konsole to get error msgs | 08:54 |
| denis | ok I will lunch for exemple amarok and let you know. | 08:55 |

| denis | oups, sorry ok. Somebody had told me this mlast week and already forgot. Sorry. | 08:57 |
| Newbee | skramer_: I did not do anything. It worked with karmic and does not anymore with lucid | 08:57 |
| skramer_ | Newbee: I'm on a travelmate 8471, but suspend to ram did not work on neither karmic nor lucid... | 08:57 |
| skramer_ | Newbee: hmm... for me only hibernate works, but resume takes forever | 08:58 |
| skramer_ | Newbee: suspend to ram works, but then it does a normal reboot instead of resume | 08:59 |
| Newbee | skramer_: yes. And that hibernat resumes verrryyy slowly is an really old problem, that noone seems to fix | 08:59 |

| flavio | denis: Specially phonon-backend-xine | 09:12 |
| skramer_ | Newbee: at least, they suggested testing newer kernels, but that did not help either | 09:12 |

| theee | knetworkmanager never picks up wifii .. Any alternate for that ? | 09:22 |

| Newbee | skramer_: normaly they also have advices how to flash on there site | 09:22 |
| skramer_ | Newbee: still I don't want to run into those fan problems, so I did not do anything on flashing.. | 09:23 |

| pulledteeth | Yeah, no; that just seems to be for file transfer. | 09:52 |
| pulledteeth | What I need is something that supports the a2dp profile; and that does tethering; something blueman did just fine in 9.10; and the tethering still works in 10.04. | 09:53 |
| Peace- | sorre mate .. but that stuff i didn't ever used | 09:53 |
| pulledteeth | For some reason though, the blueman pulseaudio plugin just /can't/ be enabled. So thats why I came in here to see if someone could suggest a better manager | 09:53 |
| Peace- | mmm | 09:53 |
| Peace- | could try using root account .. | 09:54 |

| asobi | using jaunty, closed firefox, then tried opening it seconds later and it won't launch, hourglass appears and it shows up on taskbar but then disappears after a few seconds. i have already EXHAUSTED google searches on fixing it. any other ideas? | 10:50 |
| coreberserker | Hay there everyone | 10:54 |
| txwikinger | asobi: look if old firefox process is still lingering | 10:55 |
| asobi | it's not | 10:55 |
| txwikinger | coreberserker: straw to you too | 10:55 |
| asobi | it's very frustrating, works one minutes, but not the next | 10:55 |
| coreberserker | Is anyone having problems with google chrome on Kubuntu 64bit after the updates? | 10:55 |
| txwikinger | asobi: start firefox from commandline and look for errors | 10:56 |
| asobi | can't | 10:56 |
| asobi | i have EXHAUSTED a lot of solutions | 10:56 |
| txwikinger | coreberserker: which version of chrome | 10:56 |
| asobi | xulrunner doesn't even run | 10:56 |
| asobi | you think upgrading to karmic might fix it? | 10:57 |
| txwikinger | asobi: nobody can help your frustration... you need to provide information .. we are not clairvoyant | 10:57 |
| txwikinger | asobi: you are on jaunty? | 10:57 |
| asobi | Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.*. | 10:58 |
| asobi | is what i get when i try from terminal | 10:58 |
| asobi | googling that gives me xulrunner | 10:58 |
| asobi | tried that but still failed | 10:58 |
| coreberserker | the version 5.0.375.29 beta | 10:58 |
| asobi | i am thinking i am just going to try upgrade | 11:00 |
| asobi | i should mention that i installed greasemonkey a few days ago then updated earlier today. maybe firefox got updated and didn't like greasmonkey | 11:01 |
| txwikinger | coreberserker: are you upgrading from the nightly builds? | 11:03 |
| asobi | any votes for upgrade? | 11:04 |
| txwikinger | asobi: sure... why run old stuff.. however I would upgrade to karmic and then to ucid | 11:05 |
| txwikinger | lucid | 11:05 |
| asobi | let's hope it works | 11:05 |
| asobi | any lucid bugs i should know about? | 11:06 |
| txwikinger | lucid is an LTS and quite stable | 11:06 |
| txwikinger | the usual nvidia problems | 11:06 |
| txwikinger | but the can be solved by using the nvidia driver from their site | 11:07 |
| asobi | i have onboard video ~_~ | 11:09 |
| txwikinger | some boards have nvidia onboard | 11:09 |
| asobi | yea, i have geforce something | 11:09 |
| asobi | they need to make it so you can skip ungrades | 11:10 |
| asobi | upgrades | 11:10 |
| asobi | i should probably log off for upgrade | 11:11 |
| txwikinger | well.. you need to compile against the right kernel | 11:11 |
| * asobi is a linux newb ~_~ | 11:11 | |
| asobi | 866mb! | 11:15 |
| asobi | perhaps it's better just to install lucid? | 11:16 |
| asobi | start with clean slate? | 11:16 |
| shadeslayer | asobi: why not use a upgrade CD? | 11:18 |
| asobi | how is that different from via online? | 11:19 |
| shadeslayer | asobi: well you download a 699 MB upgrade CD and upgrade your system.. no need for a net connection | 11:20 |
| shadeslayer | ( during the upgrade ) | 11:20 |
| asobi | i was complaining about the size of the upgrade | 11:20 |
| shadeslayer | asobi: oh.. : | 11:21 |
| asobi | i mean if it's 866mb to upgrade and new install is 700mb.... | 11:21 |
| shadeslayer | asobi: not exactly... what about downloading other stuff like browsers etc after a clean install | 11:21 |
| asobi | i am doing jaunty->karmic->lucid which means two upgrades of 866mb as opposed to 700mb for clean install of lucid | 11:21 |
| txwikinger | asobi: if you install the same packages you have now, it will have to load some packages not on the iso | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | your total download will be about the same | 11:22 |
| asobi | i don't really install much beyond the default ~_~ | 11:23 |
| asobi | i shouldn't say it's a complaint. it just feels odd | 11:23 |
| asobi | well, it takes longer to upgrade. i think clean install is faster | 11:24 |
| fefi | hola | 11:24 |
| asobi | anyways, what if the upgrade doesn't fix firefox... | 11:26 |

| scott_j | moetunes: i remember in ubuntu 9.10, i could just right click on the wireless icon in the system tray, and create a new adhoc wireless connection for sharing my internet connection | 11:50 |
| scott_j | is there something similar in kubuntu 10.04 ? | 11:51 |

| naftilos76 | hi why when copying a 600mb file into a flash memory i get the indication that in 10 seconds or so the file has been copied? i have checked the file size of the target file in dolphin and it is true. the file has reached 600mb size! but the real data haven't been transfered yet. the flash memory is kept occupied for a considerable amount of time. if you just calculate the time it took to really complete the copying process the data rate | 12:47 |
| naftilos76 | makes sence which is about 3-6Mbytes/sec. Now why is it showing a fake progress? | 12:47 |
| naftilos76 | anyone? | 12:50 |

| === robin is now known as Guest19390 | ||
| linda | @thomas: de kubuntu.org site says kdevelop4 is out, it's in the backports repo | 12:56 |
| linda | enable "unsupported updates" in kpackagekit settings and reload | 12:57 |
| linda | then install kdevelop | 12:57 |
| linda | http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kdevelop-4 | 12:57 |
| ForgeAus | KOffice4 is on its way? | 12:58 |
| ForgeAus | !info Koffice | 12:58 |
| ubottu | Package Koffice does not exist in lucid | 12:58 |
| ForgeAus | !info koffice | 12:58 |
| ubottu | koffice (source: koffice): KDE Office Suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.1.2-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 12 kB, installed size 52 kB | 12:58 |
| linda | koffice4 nah aren't they at Koffice 2beta now? | 12:58 |
| ForgeAus | hehe the 4 I meant there was in relation to KDE4 | 12:58 |
| ForgeAus | so maybe I should have said KOffice-kde4 then? | 12:59 |
| linda | my bad v2 of koffice is released already | 12:59 |
| linda | ah ok :) which would be koffice2 | 12:59 |
| ForgeAus | yeah.. seems like it | 12:59 |
| linda | so you would look for koffice in kapckagkit, not koffice-kde4 i guess | 13:00 |
| ForgeAus | Lucid doesn't have (for kubuntu) a gimp substitute (not that Ubuntu's is Gimp itself anyway) | 13:00 |
| linda | argh d4mn typos :P | 13:00 |
| linda | well there is krita | 13:00 |
| ForgeAus | its ok it would be hypocritical of me to complain about your typo's | 13:00 |
| ForgeAus | besides I can read typoese sometimes :) | 13:00 |
| linda | hehe I will just wrote kpack instead of kpackagekit from now on :P | 13:01 |
| ForgeAus | krita is part of KOffice isn't it? | 13:01 |
| linda | if you install the complete suite yes I think so | 13:01 |
| ForgeAus | well I know what you mean, therefore its valid | 13:01 |
| linda | :) | 13:01 |
| thomasfuston | linda: thx alot , ther it is kdevelop :) | 13:01 |

| roberto_ | hi - I started an install with "sudo apt-get intall ri" and said yes but then realized it was installing ruby1.8 and I want to stay a pure 1.9.1 install, so I killed that process -- it had just downloaded the packages and was unpacking the first when I did it | 16:10 |
| roberto_ | how do I recover from that point so I can keep using apt-get ? just delete the lock file or is there more ? | 16:10 |
| StefanT | roberto_: sudo apt-get remove ri | 16:11 |
| StefanT | roberto_: or is there an error message? | 16:11 |
| roberto_ | StefanT: yes | 16:11 |
| StefanT | roberto_: which one? | 16:11 |
| roberto_ | you can robably make it out, it's in spanish | 16:12 |
| roberto_ | E: No se pudo bloquear /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Recurso temporalmente no disponible) | 16:12 |
| roberto_ | E: Imposible bloquear el directorio de administración (/var/lib/dpkg/), ¿está otro proceso usándolo? | 16:12 |
| StefanT | roberto_: hmm, still locked it seems | 16:12 |
| roberto_ | yea | 16:12 |
| roberto_ | when I killed it, it left a lock file behind | 16:12 |
| StefanT | roberto_: sudo fuser -a /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 16:13 |
| StefanT | roberto_: tells you if any process still uses this file | 16:13 |
| roberto_ | StefanT: I was the one that killed the process | 16:13 |
| roberto_ | I know it's dead | 16:13 |
| Meuporg | hello | 16:13 |
| roberto_ | I suspended with ^z and then sudo kill %1 | 16:14 |
| roberto_ | because ^c wasn't working | 16:14 |
| StefanT | roberto_: did the shell print that the %1 terminated? | 16:14 |
| roberto_ | yes | 16:14 |
| roberto_ | actually it s weird | 16:15 |
| roberto_ | it said both | 16:15 |
| StefanT | hmm.... the error usually says that some process still has the file open. | 16:15 |
| StefanT | did you try the "fuser" command I posted? | 16:15 |
| roberto_ | Error: garbage process id "%1" | 16:15 |
| roberto_ | then [1]+ Detenido sudo apt-get install ri | 16:15 |
| roberto_ | I was reading the man page since I didnt recognize it :) | 16:16 |
| roberto_ | it says "/var/lib/dpkg/lock:" | 16:16 |
| roberto_ | no process after | 16:16 |
| StefanT | no process ID.... ok | 16:16 |
| StefanT | hmm.... ps aux|grep apt | 16:17 |
| roberto_ | huh | 16:17 |
| roberto_ | it's still there | 16:17 |
| roberto_ | apt-get install ri | 16:17 |
| roberto_ | I'll try to kill it again | 16:17 |
| StefanT | kill -9 .... | 16:17 |
| roberto_ | oo now it's dead :) | 16:18 |
| StefanT | it is somewhat dangerous to kill apt & co, that is why ^c does not work | 16:18 |
| StefanT | :) | 16:18 |
| StefanT | now remove ri .... | 16:18 |
| StefanT | sudo apt-get remove ri | 16:18 |
| StefanT | or it will be installed again next time | 16:18 |
| roberto_ | thank you StefanT , that was great | 16:18 |
| roberto_ | great help | 16:19 |
| StefanT | you are welcome, roberto_ | 16:19 |
| StefanT | just to be sure: sudo apt-get -f install | 16:19 |
| roberto_ | it didnt install anything but.. I do have 0/0/0/9 packages in the four states at the bottom | 16:20 |
| StefanT | roberto_: the "apt-get -f install" is to be sure that the packages are in a consitent state | 16:21 |
| roberto_ | i did that .. and autoremove too | 16:21 |
| StefanT | roberto_: "sudo apt-get autoremove" removes packages that were installed by some dependencies but are not required anymore | 16:21 |
| roberto_ | just incase the ri install managed to put some ruby1.8 deps on my system :) -- but it didnt | 16:22 |
| StefanT | roberto_: so you could have waited until "ri" & co was installed, then remove it, and then do "autoremove" to get rid of all packages that were installed too. | 16:22 |
| roberto_ | yea I see it | 16:22 |
| StefanT | ok, roberto_, fine :) | 16:22 |
| roberto_ | bye, thanks again | 16:23 |

| StefanT | search the "program starters" category | 16:37 |
| tobago | got it | 16:37 |
| StefanT | ok, drag&drop it to where you want it | 16:37 |
| StefanT | to the desktop also works | 16:37 |
| tobago | StefanT, i want those links in a bar. i didn't mean quickstart. i mean a bar, where i can put the links to the tools i often use. (in gnome it was a top bar). | 16:40 |
| StefanT | tobago: you mean an extra toolbar with those icons? | 16:40 |
| tobago | StefanT, yes | 16:41 |
| StefanT | tobago: then add a toolbar first, and then add the "quickstart" applet to this toolbar. | 16:41 |
| tobago | adding a new "controlbar" doesn't add a bar (as i expected). it just adds a rounded corner in top right corner and another one in the top left corner, but not a bar. | 16:42 |
| StefanT | tobago: for me it adds a short bar in the top left corner | 16:43 |
| StefanT | clicking the button there allows to configure the bar | 16:43 |
| tobago | StefanT, and adding new minitools, it puts them onto the desktop like screenlets/ widget applets. | 16:44 |
| tobago | ah i seem to be able to configure it... i'll play with it. | 16:44 |
| StefanT | ok | 16:44 |
| StefanT | tobago: drag the plasmoids (the mini tools) into this new bar | 16:45 |
| tobago | StefanT, yep, seems to work. thanks a lot. :) | 16:46 |
| StefanT | tobago you are welcome | 16:46 |
| tobago | StefanT, first impression i got of kde comparing it with gnome: kde looks more mac-stylee. | 16:47 |
| StefanT | tobago: hmm, yes, quite possible | 16:47 |
| StefanT | tobago: I "grew up" with Kde (or the other way around), I have never tried Gnome. | 16:49 |

| draik | BluesKaj: 09:41:14,716 DEBUG: nvidia_current the driver is not enabled in all of the relevant device sections | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | draik, sudo service kdm stop ..first , you can't run X even if it doesn't load when installing video drivers | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | draik, then , sudo lshw -C video , find the driver and uninstall it unless it's the nvidia-current | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | draik, X can only handle one video driver at atime , so the present driver has to be removed before the new one can install | 17:50 |

| flavio_ | made_man: No, | 19:20 |

| flavio_ | made_man: No, he tried to use the upstrem nvidia, I am tring to uninstall it | 19:21 |
| made_man | oh, ok | 19:21 |
| flavio_ | ghaleb: VirtualBox, but ver light usage | 19:21 |
| flavio_ | very | 19:21 |

| flavio_ | Byron: Try it | 19:26 |

| flavio_ | Byron: too bad | 19:27 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Try to reinstall the nvidia kubuntu packages | 19:28 |
| Byron | flavio_: I have; still no change | 19:28 |
| BluesKaj | Byron, one can always fall back on the venerable , lspci | grep VGA ,then do a search for the required driver | 19:28 |
| Byron | BluesKaj: I'm running on vesa right now. That's how I have a GUI on the desktop | 19:29 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Have you installed other proprietary drivers also, let's say, ati or intel ones? I had a problem on a system with a intel card where i installed nvidia packages. | 19:30 |
| Byron | flavio_: Nope. No other drivers | 19:31 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Ok, when using the Nouveua driver your system crashed, right? | 19:31 |
| Byron | flavio_: yup | 19:32 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Unistall the nouveua drivers, install the nvidia driver (The free, bundled with the xorg), remove the custom xorg you probrabily used. | 19:33 |
| Byron | flavio_: My current xorg is only the "vesa" driver, nothing special | 19:33 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Then try to use the proprietary drivers again via the restricetd drivers. | 19:33 |
| harjot | anyone have hp laptop here? | 19:34 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Exactly, but, If i remenber, current X doesn't use a xorg file anymore, my guess this is the cause the proprietary ubuntu can't configure you X | 19:34 |
| Byron | flavio_: It's not currently installed. | 19:35 |
| flavio_ | Byron, the nouveu drivers? | 19:35 |
| Byron | flavio_: Correct | 19:35 |
| flavio_ | the nvidia-xorg package is installed? | 19:35 |
| yofel | there is no such package, it's either nvidia-current/nvidia-173/nvidia-96 for lucid or nvidia-glx-185 etc. for karmic and before | 19:36 |

| flavio_ | Byron, unistall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, install xserver-xorg-video-nv, and restart the X server | 19:37 |
| flavio_ | Byron, And don't use a custom xorg.conf | 19:37 |
| Byron | flavio_: Should I just delete the current xorg.conf file? | 19:39 |

| daweed | im installing get deb and askme to an aplication to run | 19:44 |
| daweed | flavio_: im sorry my computer shutdown it self | 19:45 |

| flavio_ | daweed: http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/all#how_to_install | 19:46 |

| bdizzle | Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 20:06 |

| flavio_ | Byron: Maybe the above command will do the trick | 20:15 |
| bdizzle | ugh | 20:17 |
| bdizzle | could someone help me with this please? | 20:17 |
| bdizzle | its starting to frustrate me | 20:17 |
| Byron | flavio_: I tried that and I don't have X | 20:19 |
| bdizzle | great, amarok isn't working either | 20:22 |
| bdizzle | wtf | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle, sudo aptitude install libxine1-ffmpeg | 20:24 |
| flavio_ | Byron: What a mess. Delete the xorg.conf and restart the X, If it not work copy your old xorg.conf file back in place | 20:24 |
| Byron | I'm running right now without the xorg.conf. After no X, I took it out and did "startx" from TTY1 | 20:25 |
| bdizzle | claims I cannot get a lock on /var/lib/apt/lists/lock | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | Byron, sudo service kdm start, then startx | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 20:27 |
| bdizzle | thanks | 20:28 |
| bdizzle | I knew there was a command for it, couldn't remember it | 20:28 |
| bdizzle | still claiming I can't get a lock | 20:28 |
| === steaminc is now known as SteamInc | ||
| BluesKaj | bdizzle, sudo dpkg --configure -a | 20:28 |
| bdizzle | got it | 20:29 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Apparently you have multiple xorg drivers installed, and X is not using the nvidia ones. Unusual, I remember we unistalled every other package on your system. | 20:29 |
| bdizzle | okay, now I just need firefox to install, and then find pidgen and konversation | 20:29 |
| Byron | flavio_: Should the driver be "nvidia" or "nv"? | 20:30 |
| flavio_ | Byron: nvidia | 20:30 |
| bdizzle | I take it I have to install libdvdcs as well? | 20:30 |
| bdizzle | or whatever that package name is to make dvd's run | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, libdvdcss2 | 20:31 |
| Byron | bdizzle: w32codecs, too | 20:31 |
| Byron | or w64codes, depending on your system | 20:31 |
| bdizzle | okay | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle, i'd checkout medibuntu as well | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | !medibuntu | 20:31 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 20:31 |
| bdizzle | yeah, I know | 20:31 |
| Byron | You need medibuntu for the packages | 20:31 |
| bdizzle | I wasn't expecting everything to break when I did the install | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | it's not broken , so much as not installed | 20:32 |
| bdizzle | fun | 20:32 |
| bdizzle | ah, okay, since I just upgraded, everything is deactivated and I have to run through it agian | 20:33 |
| Byron | flavio_: It keeps failing to load the "nvidia" driver | 20:33 |
| Byron | flavio_: Fatal Server Error: no screens found | 20:34 |
| bdizzle | so why is it my firefox icons have been replaced with firefox installer, and then it runs, claims its already installed, then won't let me load firefox? | 20:34 |
| BluesKaj | Byron, then you need to remove the existing driver , stop X /kdm and install the nvidia-current driver | 20:35 |
| Byron | BluesKaj: That's the driver being used, per Restricted Drivers | 20:35 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Try restart using only one monitor | 20:36 |
| Byron | flavio_: It only sees it as one monitor; both monitors show the same thing | 20:36 |
| Reign1 | problem making applet, whats the problem in here guys? anyone? http://pastebin.com/yKvDcJpr | 20:37 |
| flavio_ | Byron: Ok, but wtah if xorg cant configure both screens? try to use one moniotr only (remove the other), if the x starts, you can plug the other and use nvidia-settings to configure the other. | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | yeah Byron nvidia settings control panel is the way to configure dual monitors | 20:42 |
| flavio_ | Byron: But X is not working yet, he has to try to use one monitor only, to see if X will work with the nvidia driver. | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | Byron, did you run sudo service kdm start , then startx ? | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | Byron, i assume you're still at the tty | 20:47 |
| flavio_ | BluesKaj: I gotta go, could you please continue helping Byron? Thanks | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | ok flavio_ ,i'll try :) | 20:49 |
| progre55 | hi people! what the hack is knotify4? | 20:54 |
| progre55 | and why is it eating up my cpu? ) | 20:54 |
| progre55 | anyways, killed it =) | 20:55 |
| bdizzle | progre55, its how the system lets you know of events | 20:55 |
| bdizzle | its kinda critical, I'd leave it | 20:55 |
| progre55 | bdizzle: too late =) | 20:56 |
| heinkel_111 | i am going to upgrade kubuntu 9.04 --> 9.10 from dvd-rom, can someone help me find the right name for the dvd-rom source? ie, for 9.04 the dvd-rom name in /etc/apt/sources.list is deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090421.2)]/ jaunty main restricted | 21:00 |
| heinkel_111 | what is the equivalent name for 9.10 - still need the strange spaces and underscores? | 21:00 |

| Dark_Wizard | What the name of the kubuntu package "KDevelop"? I can not find it | 21:07 |
| heinkel_111 | apt-cache show kdevelop | 21:07 |
| heinkel_111 | without the capitals | 21:08 |
| heinkel_111 | Dark_Wizard: ^ | 21:08 |
| heinkel_111 | the name is kdevelop | 21:08 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, get the karmic equivalent dvdrom | 21:08 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: I already have the DVDrom | 21:09 |
| heinkel_111 | I just need to set it as the only source, but I cannot remember how to find the name of it | 21:09 |
| Dark_Wizard | heinkel_111, not found a package with the name "kdevelop" | 21:10 |
| heinkel_111 | i am a bit rusty after not prioritizing updates for a year | 21:10 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, look in /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:10 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: in my 9.04 installation it says deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090421.2)]/ jaunty main restricted | 21:11 |
| heinkel_111 | but that is the 9.04 line - what does it say for 9.10? | 21:11 |
| Reign1 | did you guys manage to install adjustableclock? | 21:11 |
| DarthFrog | kdevelop is in backports. | 21:11 |
| === jeff___ is now known as hodgy | ||
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, yes it would ..in order to upgrade to karmic 9.10 you need to upgrade your source dvdrom, if that's the route you want to take , however, i recommend upgrading by doing sudo aptitude update && sudo do-release-upgrade | 21:13 |
| Dark_Wizard | DarthFrog, and how do I then install this package? | 21:13 |
| DarthFrog | Dark_Wizard: Enable backports in /etc/apt/sources.lst | 21:14 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: you are recommending the GUI upgrader, right - I am thinking of doing it using the command line interface, as i occasionally run into problems with graphics on updates | 21:16 |
| heinkel_111 | upgrades not updates sry | 21:16 |
| Dark_Wizard | DarthFrog, thanks! | 21:16 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: I have upgraded this way before - setting the new dvdrom as only source and then do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:17 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, those commands i just posted are for the command line | 21:17 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: well, a different way of doing it with the CLI, then :) | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, sudo -do-release-upgrade is now the preferred way | 21:18 |
| vebriant | hi all | 21:18 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: and it is a pure CLI experience? I thought that would start the GUI upgrade tool | 21:19 |
| vebriant | pls asisst me install gyachi | 21:19 |
| vebriant | anyone know ? | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, sorry, sudo do-release-upgrade | 21:19 |
| heinkel_111 | got it ;) | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, that command will auto update your sources.list , you will need to uncomment the rest of the debs to install from the other repos | 21:21 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: do you know if do-release-upgrade will see that I have the DVD rom to upgrade from in my drive? | 21:21 |
| BluesKaj | afterwards | 21:21 |
| michael__ | hi everyone! I wonder if one of you wouldnt mind helping me. I just updated to 10.04 and my task bar seems to have disappeared. How may I go about restoring this? | 21:21 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: I want to read data from the DVD rom initially, then update across the net afterwards | 21:22 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, you don't want to use the dvdrom to upgrade from, because it's still an old source | 21:22 |
| heinkel_111 | BluesKaj: can you please explain a little bit more? | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | just update from the net then upgrade to the new version | 21:23 |
| heinkel_111 | ? | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | ithe dvd is still jaunty , not karmic | 21:23 |
| heinkel_111 | the DVD is 9.10 (which is old, but what i want to upgrade to...) | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | oh | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | I assumed it was jaunty , sorry | 21:25 |
| heinkel_111 | i plan to upgrade to 10.04 later, after I have downloaded the 10.04 DVD torrent but on my line it takes a while | 21:25 |
| slow-motion | hi | 21:26 |
| BluesKaj | heinkel_111, i see | 21:26 |
| heinkel_111 | I am going to take my chances hacking the DVD source name, if no one can provide me with the exact wording.... :-) | 21:26 |
| Reign1 | anyone using adjustableclock and got clockapplet.h file? | 21:26 |

| kubuntiano | Hi | 21:46 |
| kubuntiano | Hello, guys I use Kubuntu and I upgraded to version 10.4 but I had many problems so I decided to update it again, so I created a partition (before I used the entire disk) and the partition I installed the new 10.04 and I transferred my data from a partition (the old) to another (the new one) now I need to delete the old partition and reunify the disc, as I do without losing new data on the partition? | 21:47 |
| Kubry | kubuntiano, you can try the KDE partition manager to delete partitions and increase partitions | 21:49 |
| Kubry | sudo apt-get install partitionmanager | 21:50 |
| kubuntiano | kubry, no, I'm now using the new partition and do not let me edit. | 21:51 |
| Kubry | you can download the latest Knoppix | 21:51 |
| Kubry | boot with the Knoppix cdrom, and use gparted to do so | 21:52 |
| kubuntiano | kubry, What is Knoppix? | 21:52 |
| Kubry | (i mean, to delete partitions and increase the size of partitions) | 21:53 |
| ubuntu | which file system is good at recovering data when lost , deleted. and which survives better in system craches? i think its not ext3/4. is there any other file system that i can use to install *buntu? | 21:53 |
| Kubry | Ubuntu: i use ext3/ext4 | 21:54 |
| ubuntu | Kubry: then you cannot recover files if deleted | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntiano, or download and burn gparted live cd to rezise your new partition | 21:54 |
| Kubry | Ubuntu: the files I delete with KDE go to its bin | 21:55 |
| Kubry | so I can recover them from there | 21:56 |
| kubuntiano | BluesKaj, tu cosa mi consigli? | 21:56 |
| kubuntiano | BluesKaj, what do you advise me? | 21:57 |
| bdizzle | hi | 21:57 |
| Reign1 | wheres /usr/include/plasmaclock/clockapplet.h in kdebase-workspace 4.4.4? | 21:57 |
| Kubry | Ubuntu: and if I have installed "trash-cli" (http://code.google.com/p/trash-cli/wiki/Download) if I have to delete something in the command line | 21:57 |
| bdizzle | okay, I got things better on my laptop, now to have fun with the desktop | 21:57 |
| bdizzle | first off, it can't find the partition table | 21:57 |
| Reign1 | wheres /usr/include/plasmaclock/clockapplet.h in kdebase-workspace 4.4.4? it was there in 4.4.3 | 21:57 |
| bdizzle | I'm booting off the liveCD and am in grub, entered "find /boot/grub/stage1" and it returns "Error 15: File not found" | 21:58 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntiano, as I posted earlier , use gparted live cd to resize your new partition | 22:00 |
| kubuntiano | BluesKaj, Yes, with gpart live resize the partition with the new kubuntu. Thank you. Ps. Do not risk losing my data? | 22:02 |

| === Zhenya is now known as Zhenya_away | ||
| bawww | only thing is the way contacts are imported | 22:03 |
| bawww | not all info is included | 22:03 |
| bdizzle_ | it managed to lose the location (or existence) of the partition table | 22:04 |
| bdizzle_ | anyone know how to get it back? | 22:04 |
| bdizzle_ | I'm trying to re-install grub and its not working, I keep getting error messages of things not found | 22:04 |
| bdizzle_ | I should have five or six partitions showing when I do sudo fdisk -l , but only three are shown | 22:04 |
| bdizzle_ | none of them being the linux drives | 22:04 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntiano, no , you'll be fine as long as you choose the new kubuntu partition | 22:04 |
| bawww | bdizzle_: there's a great tutorial on ubuntu wiki | 22:05 |
| bawww | i think it has a section for partition table recovery | 22:05 |
| bdizzle_ | baww, okay | 22:05 |
| bawww | let me see if i can find it for you | 22:05 |
| bdizzle_ | thanks | 22:06 |
| bawww | bdizzle_: here you go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 22:07 |
| bdizzle_ | I can't even boot into windows to get the good data off, let alone verify if the old data is still there | 22:07 |
| bawww | there are some really powerful tools mentioned in that guide | 22:07 |
| bawww | if you didn't delete it and it's not really badly damaged you have a good chance at recovering the data | 22:08 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, where can I find a gparted disk? | 22:08 |
| julio-PE | what happened to kate? K menu -> Lost&Found -> Kate? i reinstall it, but continues at this place, without icon | 22:09 |
| julio-PE | tnks in advance!! | 22:10 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, thanks bawww, but I think my computer is royally hosed | 22:11 |
| BluesKaj | julio-PE, alt+f2 , kate | 22:12 |
| julio-PE | BluesKaj: it works | 22:12 |
| julio-PE | but is at Lost&Found | 22:13 |

| ubuntu | i am on a live cd. but what to burn an iso image . (i have one cd burner) how do i burn it by k3b? (the cd cannot be ejected as iam on live cd? | 22:14 |
| julio-PE | BluesKaj: tnks, but this is not the problem... why kate is at wrong place? what happened to it? | 22:14 |
| Matisse | I thought I solved my flash-kills-firefox-problem, but now FF is crashing again when opening a video page (f.e. a youtube vid). It happens since upgrade to 10.04 and was solved by deactivating one of the 2 flash plugins in the addons menu | 22:14 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: gparted should list disks like /dev/hda or /dev/sda | 22:15 |
| BluesKaj | julio-PE, dunno why , if it works why worry , an update might fix it soon | 22:15 |
| julio-PE | BluesKaj: this problem cames with me on Kubuntu 9.10, and now Kubuntu 10.04 LTS | 22:16 |
| bdizzle__ | gah, I am so over my head right now | 22:17 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle__, at a tty ? | 22:18 |
| bdizzle__ | hmm? | 22:19 |
| bdizzle__ | refresh memory on what tty is? | 22:19 |
| bdizzle__ | I just now got fdisk -l to show me all of the drives, finally | 22:20 |
| julio-PE | someone knows what happens? | 22:20 |
| bdizzle__ | and its a really unreliable connection | 22:20 |
| bdizzle__ | hold on | 22:23 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, I manged to get wireless up on that system | 22:27 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle__, how are you chatting with us ? | 22:27 |
| BluesKaj | on a diff pc , obviously | 22:28 |
| bdizzle__ | on my laptop | 22:28 |
| bdizzle__ | desktop is giving problems | 22:28 |
| bdizzle__ | anyone want to try to help me tackle this one? | 22:30 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle__, ok, alt+ctrl+f2 , will put your desktop to a tty | 22:31 |
| bdizzle__ | ok | 22:31 |
| BluesKaj | tty is the same as the terminal without the desktop | 22:32 |
| bdizzle__ | gotcha | 22:32 |
| bdizzle__ | okay | 22:32 |
| bdizzle__ | so I did sudo fdisk -l | 22:32 |
| bdizzle__ | to see if it picked up things | 22:32 |
| bdizzle__ | it picked up the three NTFS / FAT32 partitions, but is ignoring the linux ones | 22:32 |
| bdizzle__ | so I have /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda3 and it claims that disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table | 22:33 |
| bdizzle__ | now I did it again | 22:33 |
| bdizzle__ | and it shows both sda1,2, and 5, along with sdb1, sdb2, sdb3, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7, claiming the partition table entries are not in disk order | 22:34 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle__, ok you have an unallocated partition which is probly the linux ext , use your laptop to download gparted live cd and burn it . the nuse the live cd to make the partition an ext if gparted doesn't label it. | 22:36 |
| BluesKaj | ext4, that is | 22:36 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, sdb4 is missing, looks like it would start around 13400 and end around 26666 | 22:37 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: what filesystem does your problematic disk use? | 22:38 |
| bawww | NTFS, ext4? | 22:38 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, the breakdown is as follows | 22:38 |
| BluesKaj | ntfs is windows , ext is linux | 22:38 |
| bdizzle__ | sdb1 -> HPFS / NTFS, /dev/sdb2 -> W95 Ext'd (LBA) sdb3 -> Linux Swap sdb5 -> HPFS / NTFS sdb6 -> Linux (ext3) and sdb7 -> Linux (ext3) | 22:39 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, due to an extremely shitty internet connection (university seems to believe that a purely wireless system is best, thus there are no wired connections, and the wireless comes and goes on us, it will take about an hour for it to download | 22:41 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: do this first, use the ddrescue method in the article to back up all the partitions into images | 22:43 |
| bdizzle__ | okay... | 22:44 |
| bawww | then you have two options, is to extract the files from the image | 22:44 |
| bdizzle__ | GNU ddrescue? | 22:44 |
| bawww | or go ahead and try to repair your hard drive | 22:44 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, how do I install that if I am booting off the liveCD? | 22:45 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: try sudo aptitude install gddrescue | 22:47 |
| bdizzle__ | tried | 22:47 |
| bdizzle__ | couldn't find package | 22:47 |
| BluesKaj | rescue what ? | 22:47 |
| bdizzle__ | does it stand for god damn drive rescue or something? | 22:48 |
| bawww | BluesKaj: GNUddrescue | 22:48 |
| bawww | it's maintained more than ddrescue, since ddrescue is out dated or something | 22:49 |
| BluesKaj | bawww, he doesn't need to rescue just get X and his graphics to work | 22:49 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: you're trying to rescue data, is that right? | 22:49 |
| bdizzle__ | no | 22:49 |
| bdizzle__ | trying to get my computer to boot | 22:49 |
| bdizzle__ | it won't boot off the hard drives, kept giving me Error 15 / 17 / 25 combinations | 22:50 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle__, at the tty ,try sudo service kdm start | 22:50 |
| bdizzle__ | I can get it to boot off the liveCD | 22:50 |
| bdizzle__ | says kdm is already running | 22:50 |
| BluesKaj | ok, type startx | 22:51 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: are you on the current system that's having the issue? | 22:51 |
| bdizzle__ | I'm typing on my laptop | 22:51 |
| bdizzle__ | but I'm sitting in front of my desktop, which is having the issues | 22:51 |
| bdizzle__ | so I do have at least one working computer | 22:51 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: did you try reinstalling grub? | 22:52 |
| bdizzle__ | tried, yes, succeeded, no | 22:53 |
| bdizzle__ | it kept claiming the partition table didn't exit | 22:53 |
| bdizzle__ | *exist | 22:53 |
| bdizzle__ | and I don't know how to read memory blocks to figure out where it might be, assuming it didn't get deleted somehow | 22:53 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle__, sudo update-grub | 22:54 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: so you're getting a "Error 15: File not found" type of message? | 22:54 |
| bdizzle__ | let me boot it normally without the disk and I can type what it shows | 22:54 |
| BluesKaj | ahhh... too many cooks ...bbl | 22:54 |
| bdizzle__ | sorry.. | 22:55 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, rebooting normally | 22:55 |
| bdizzle__ | it takes a while to recognize the slave drive, the master it picks up fine | 22:55 |
| BluesKaj | bdizzle__, good luck | 22:55 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, its hung on trying to detect the slave drive | 22:58 |
| bdizzle__ | now physically unplugging the IDE cable to the slave drive | 22:58 |
| bdizzle__ | it boots, get to loading grub, gives me error 21 | 22:58 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: did you make any changes in your bios prior to the problem? | 22:59 |
| bdizzle__ | other than to switch the boot order so that I could get it to boot from USB, no | 22:59 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: what version of kubuntu is this on? | 23:03 |
| bawww | lucid? | 23:03 |
| bdizzle__ | it was 9.04 | 23:04 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: it seems like your grub settings which is located in /boot/grub/menu.lst is pointing to a different hard drive or partition | 23:06 |
| bdizzle__ | that is possible, I was doing it rather ad-hoc to get it to work | 23:06 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: boot up on the desktop with a 9.04 liveCD | 23:07 |
| bdizzle__ | okay | 23:08 |
| bawww | mount the linux parition and check what the settings say in the /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:08 |
| bdizzle__ | hold on | 23:09 |
| bawww | and match it with your current fdisk output | 23:10 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, not sure how to mount things outside of X | 23:10 |
| === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 | ||
| bdizzle__ | still waiting for the LiveCD to load, hold on | 23:13 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, LiveCD is up | 23:15 |
| bdizzle__ | tried fdisk -l, claims its not seeing the linux drives right now | 23:15 |
| bdizzle__ | says it doesn't contain a valid partition table | 23:16 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: try it with sudo | 23:16 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah | 23:16 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, the windows drive is still there | 23:16 |
| bdizzle__ | and one of the backup drives is there | 23:16 |
| bawww | some are missing? | 23:16 |
| bdizzle__ | yes, the entire 320 GB drive (slave drive, 3 partitions, split evenly) is missing | 23:17 |
| bawww | did you get any SMART errors before booting to linux? | 23:17 |
| bdizzle__ | SMART errors? | 23:17 |
| bdizzle__ | I got a bunch of grub errors | 23:17 |
| bawww | what were you doing before you had the issue? | 23:17 |
| bawww | were partitioning the disk? | 23:18 |
| bdizzle__ | don't remember, I've put this off for about eight or nine months now | 23:18 |
| bdizzle__ | something about school and whatnot. This is the first time i've had a chance to work on it | 23:18 |
| bawww | SMART checks the health of your hard drives | 23:18 |
| bdizzle__ | um, it had problems loading the Slave drive in BIOS | 23:18 |
| bawww | sometimes if the disk is messed up you can get all sort of disk errors | 23:18 |
| bdizzle__ | where it read the master drive and gave its description | 23:19 |
| bdizzle__ | then the slave drive was blank or so | 23:19 |
| bawww | were you going to install a newer version of kubuntu on it? | 23:19 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, I was trying to | 23:20 |
| bawww | you were going to upgrade to clean install? | 23:20 |
| bdizzle__ | yes, but I need to figure out which of those partitions had the data on it, ie, which ones were the /home, which was just / | 23:20 |
| bdizzle__ | I can easily enough | 23:20 |
| bawww | you want to backup the data is that it? | 23:20 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, but I need to figure out what drive works for me to back it up to | 23:21 |
| bdizzle__ | if I have to, I can just leave the dead parts of the drive out | 23:21 |
| bdizzle__ | but I need to know which partitions failed and where the data is | 23:21 |
| bdizzle__ | mostly school documents, music and movies | 23:21 |
| bawww | ok, first thing run th SMART test in your bios make sure your disk is healthy and that's not an issue | 23:21 |
| bdizzle__ | ok | 23:21 |
| bdizzle__ | where is that hiding? | 23:21 |
| bawww | should be somewhere in BIOS | 23:22 |
| bawww | check under diagnostic utilities | 23:22 |
| bdizzle__ | ok, hold on | 23:22 |
| bdizzle__ | PC health status? | 23:23 |
| bawww | it could be there | 23:23 |
| bawww | or under hard disk options | 23:23 |
| bdizzle__ | ok | 23:23 |
| bdizzle__ | HDD Smart capability - disabled for both | 23:24 |
| bawww | enable it | 23:24 |
| bdizzle__ | and I didn't see anything in bios to enable it | 23:24 |
| bawww | so you have two disks right? | 23:25 |
| bdizzle__ | yes | 23:25 |
| bdizzle__ | windows on an 80 GB that is working, but I can't get into it because of grub | 23:25 |
| bawww | why don't you partition the good disk, install kubuntu on it and then try to recover the bad disk | 23:25 |
| bdizzle__ | and then linux on a 320 that isn't working | 23:25 |
| bdizzle__ | .... because I wasn't thinking | 23:26 |
| bawww | you can restore your MBR to get into the Windows disk | 23:26 |
| bawww | if that's where all your personal files are | 23:26 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, I've done that before, I am hoping someone knows of a less painful way than downloading freeDOS | 23:26 |
| bawww | do you have a Windows XP cd? | 23:27 |
| peppe___ | join | 23:27 |
| bdizzle__ | yes | 23:27 |
| bawww | you can use that | 23:27 |
| bawww | is it a windows xp os though? | 23:27 |
| bawww | or vista? | 23:27 |
| bdizzle__ | xp | 23:28 |
| bawww | ok so just drop to the recovery console and type in "fixmbr" | 23:29 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, give me a sec | 23:30 |
| bdizzle__ | I usually get these things set up quickly and its not an issue | 23:30 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: where are the personal files on the linux disk or windows disk? | 23:30 |
| bdizzle__ | linux | 23:30 |
| bdizzle__ | it had the bigger hard drive | 23:31 |
| bawww | did you keep the files in a different partition from / (root)? | 23:31 |
| bdizzle__ | yes | 23:31 |
| bawww | was the /home on different partition? | 23:31 |
| bdizzle__ | yes | 23:31 |
| HOPPER | hy to everyone | 23:31 |
| peppe___ | ciao | 23:32 |
| HOPPER | ciao | 23:32 |
| bawww | but those partitions aren't visible on fdisk? | 23:32 |
| bdizzle__ | sometimes they were, sometimes they weren't | 23:32 |
| bdizzle__ | and I can't get it to boot to the windows CD for some reason | 23:32 |
| bawww | hm... | 23:33 |
| bawww | might because you changed the boot order to get the usb boot working? | 23:33 |
| bdizzle__ | let me make sure I had the right one | 23:33 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah | 23:33 |
| bdizzle__ | sorry, brain is tired from this | 23:33 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, booting from windows XP CD | 23:33 |
| HOPPER | how to connect to internet via pcmci 3g modem by bash shell? | 23:34 |
| HOPPER | how to connect to internet via pcmci 3g modem by bash shell? | 23:34 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, you said drop to recovery console? | 23:35 |
| bawww | yeah | 23:36 |
| bdizzle__ | ok | 23:36 |
| bawww | it should be R | 23:36 |
| bdizzle__ | yup | 23:36 |
| bdizzle__ | its going now | 23:36 |
| pucko- | HOPPER, shouldn't it register as an usb device? | 23:37 |

| bawww | bdizzle__: the priority is to check SMART, since your bios doesn't have the utility you can use Windows disk software to do it also. do it have you've restored the windows mbr | 23:42 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, I'm trying to watch the recovery to see where to enter in "fixmbr" | 23:43 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: if the health of the disk checks out OK then you have an option to do a clean install and keep /home, but when you do a clean install choose a different user name from your 9.04 installation. that way you can install the new version of kubuntu without altering your old /home and recover your personal files from the old /home | 23:43 |
| bawww | it should give you a command line | 23:43 |
| bdizzle__ | that would be the hope | 23:43 |
| bawww | to choose the windows installation | 23:43 |
| bdizzle__ | oh, that is where we enter it | 23:43 |
| bdizzle__ | okay | 23:43 |
| bawww | it should be 1 by default | 23:43 |
| Ossido | Hello. May I ask a couple of questions? | 23:44 |
| bawww | then lets you enter dos commands at C:\Windows | 23:44 |
| bdizzle__ | yeah, it woudln't let me | 23:44 |
| scott59 | off subject but just wanted to know if anyone has information about a company Netrome in Englewood, NJ 07631 | 23:45 |
| bdizzle__ | it just let me load the existing windows, which put me back at grub | 23:45 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: make the windows hard drive the primary in bios boot | 23:45 |
| bdizzle__ | hell, I just unplugged the slave drive with all the linux stuff on it | 23:46 |
| scott59 | someone was using the campany for security and seems that they went out of business so told him I would check if a new company purchased them | 23:46 |
| bawww | ok | 23:46 |
| scott59 | thought someone from the NJ area might be online tonight | 23:47 |
| bdizzle__ | okay, re-entering the recovery setup | 23:47 |
| bawww | let me look up a tutorial for you | 23:48 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/fix-mbr-xp-vista/ you're going to follow the Windows XP one. | 23:48 |
| bdizzle__ | it won't let me in, says I need the administrator password (wtf, its my system) | 23:48 |
| bawww | use blank | 23:49 |
| bdizzle__ | oh... | 23:49 |
| bawww | usually it's blank if you haven't entered anything | 23:49 |
| bawww | press enter | 23:49 |
| bdizzle__ | alright, let's restart and do it again since I tried three different ones that I could have thought of | 23:49 |
| bawww | bdizzle__: i'll pm you the steps so that way you can do it if i have to go anytime soon | 23:50 |
| bdizzle__ | ok | 23:50 |
| bdizzle__ | thanks | 23:50 |
| bdizzle__ | this is such a damn pain | 23:50 |
| bdizzle__ | and its been a while since I've done this | 23:50 |
