[00:00] BluesKaj it still doesnt show up any w32codecs package [00:01] BluesKaj my sources.list http://pastebin.com/acZturX5 [00:02] BluesKaj do i have all the required repos ? [00:02] timrl, uncomment the deb-src 's as well [00:02] BluesKaj: ok [00:03] !medibuntu | timrl [00:03] timrl: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:06] BluesKaj finally found w32codecs after adding medibuntu repo...now installing it [00:07] <_jam> well, as far as I can tell, mplayer, amarok, and kmail/kio_imap4 constitute all but 4000 lines or so of the 480k lines of errors [00:07] do you need w32codecs with vlc? [00:07] timrl, yeah, I sometimes forget which repos contain the media stuff because i automatically enable all my repos and add medibuntu after each OS upgrade. [00:07] <_jam> don't think so, not sure [00:07] BluesKaj ok [00:10] BBL [00:12] <_jam> can anyone look at these errors and give me a hint what is crashing: http://pastebin.com/qBE7UHtW [00:16] BluesKaj installed w32codecs, but still unable to play the video..actually, im trying to play the following video : http://bit.ly/aFaniX [00:16] can u play it at ur end ? [00:17] BluesKaj: ah..its working in firefox now :) [00:17] BluesKaj thanks for ur help [00:19] hey guys i got to run bbl [00:21] Is there a way in kubuntu that remapps the mouse buttons? I found it and accidently made my mouse the right click to paste like middle button does [00:21] but I can't seem to find where I did it [00:24] hello [00:24] is there a way to simulate right clicking then? [00:25] i am using kubuntu [00:25] and i have some troubles with giza [00:25] can any one help me pls [00:29] wafaa: city or pyramid? [00:30] no [00:30] it's a software [00:30] if kubuntu broke? i can't right click on my desktop.. [00:30] installed under kubunto [00:31] it's used in automatic translation [00:32] wafaa: and what kind of problem do you have with it? [00:32] there's wht we call environement variables [00:33] i can't install them [00:33] AnnaZ :do u know this software? [00:33] naturally NOT. [00:34] but if you tell me what you're trying to do and at what stage you're failing i might be able to help you nonetheless. [00:34] i assume you are following some kind of manual and can point me to a line where you get lost. [00:34] yes [00:34] it's a manual [00:35] the manual of installation of Giza++ [00:35] well the installation was done properly [00:35] do you expect me to google it just to help you? [00:37] i tried to google it but i didn't find any thing [00:38] u r very kind AnnaZ [00:38] ehr do you have this manual on a stone plate, carried down from a hill by a prophet? -.- [00:38] nooooooooooo [00:38] it was given to me by my lecturer [00:38] i know. it was a very funny joke. [00:38] oh. then you DO have it on a stone plate of sorts. [00:39] but when i reached this step i cldn't carry on [00:39] come on [00:39] i dnt like this kind of jokes [00:39] it's not funny [00:40] oh but it turned out to be true! [00:40] we were talking abt a scientific topic [00:40] but it's may b a joke for u [00:40] no, about a technical one -.- [00:41] well yes everything that doesn't come from internet comes from the stone age -.- [00:41] look, you are asking about domain specific software, being absolutely unspecific about the problem you have, and you expect to be helped? [00:42] you should rather expect someone to bathe you in sarcasm. [00:42] yeah we owe the first scholars wht we reached today in science [00:43] yeah they were smarter than you. [00:43] yes [00:43] who said tht i was smart [00:44] but am sure tht ur the smartst person in this chatroom yes? [00:44] well you would have appeared smarter if you had been more specific about the problem. [00:44] no, i'm not the smartest, merely the funniest. [00:44] would have given more info [00:44] if u were more respectfull towards [00:45] someone who had [00:45] a prob and needed help [00:46] oh you just don't want any help. [00:47] like, you might have noticed i'm not the ONLY person here. [00:48] i noticed it since the begining [00:48] but i appreciated ur answer even if u ddnt have the right one [00:48] and nonetheless, you act as if there weren't any. unless you disclose all information noone is gonna help. [00:49] thing is, you don't get a person to tell you "yeah i'm gonna help" [00:49] u know may b [00:50] am in ubuntu chatroom for first time [00:50] well it's like that everywhere. [00:50] but i am used to chat in technical chatroom [00:50] the difference is tht [00:51] or most places. [00:51] when people do nt have the answer [00:51] they dnt turn it as if it was a joke [00:51] they are more professional [00:51] oh bullshit. [00:52] you can write a wrapper script with "export VARNAME=value" statements which then calls your program [00:52] or you can put those statements in your .bashrc or so. [00:53] but i didn't want to mislead you into making even more problems for yourself, so i asked for more info. [00:53] also i find uncooperative people who need help absolutely hilarious :D [00:54] uncooperative! [00:55] if i had the answer i'll not ask for help [00:55] how could i b cooperative? [00:55] you have it. right there on your paper which you received from your professor or whatever. [00:55] no [00:56] the official paper doesn't contain this instruction [00:56] why do you expect someone to have a complete solution for you instead of helping you to put your brain to it and resolve that one little thing that you might be missing? [00:56] there was a problem while 'exporting' [00:56] the environement variable [00:57] i dnt want someone to give me the answer [00:58] i am just wondering why it ddnt work since i followed the right steps [00:59] and it's not a problem if someone had the same prob and could guide me [00:59] do you have an error message? [00:59] dnt u think so? [00:59] yes [00:59] like i said, your software is domain specific. [00:59] nooooooooo [00:59] look [00:59] out of 263 people here probably 0.0001 persons use it on average :D [01:00] the software was [01:00] properly installed right [01:00] then [01:00] there's 2 folders [01:00] 1 containing the dictionaries [01:01] and the other one contains the executable parts [01:02] !enter |wafaa, [01:02] wafaa,: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:02] ok [01:03] then to make it possible to run the giza software from any folder [01:03] we shld use the instruction export .......... [01:04] then we shld do the instruction source (name of the file.env) [01:05] AnnaZ: do u have now an idea abt wht am talking abt [01:05] this sounds just about right. source will execute the export statements in the current shell, and then they are valid during that shell session only. [01:06] yesssssssssssss [01:06] now u got it [01:06] the prob [01:06] so when you start your program in that same shell (bash, zsh, whatever) session, it will see the environment variables as specified. [01:06] no, now you explained it. [01:07] i'm technically versed but not a mindreader. [01:07] i dnt need mindreader [01:07] you can place the export statements or into .bashrc to make them "stick" [01:07] but [01:07] statements or the source statement [01:08] well AnnaZ [01:08] are we supposed to execute the file.env [01:08] in the source folder or in the destination folder [01:09] depends on how it's written. === udi is now known as venik212 [01:09] if it has any `pwd` or so the location would matter [01:09] if not, probably not. [01:09] I'm running 8.04 and would like to upgrade to 10.04, however Adept Manager is offering to upgrade me to 9.10 when I click Version Upgrade. How do I get the Version Upgrade button to do a 10.04 upgrade? (Or do I have to upgrade to 9.10 and then 10.04?) [01:10] xevious: 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.4 [01:10] xevious: I'd rather advise you get the .iso and do a full install instead [01:10] look we have 2 folders [01:10] right [01:11] xevious: i don't recommend upgrading that far at all. i suggest taking your home directory, your /usr/local, and perhaps some of customized /etc files, and restoring them on a new system [01:11] xevious: i recommend transitioning to ext4 at the same time too. it's GREAT. [01:11] the performance is amazing. [01:11] the foldsrc [01:11] and the folderdest [01:11] Not an option. [01:11] wafaa: why don't you ask people actively using the program? [01:12] This is my mother's computer. I'm coaching her via Skype. [01:12] xevious: this sounds like a tough situation. there is very likely to be breakage. [01:12] well it's a new project [01:12] xevious: Urk! It's gonna screw up and need personal TLC. [01:12] and unfortunately am the first and only one on this project [01:12] xevious: would you rather try the upgrade and leave her with a blank screen? [01:13] ok AnnaZ [01:13] you seem to think your upgrade somehow is going to go better than usual [01:13] thnk u any way [01:13] wafaa: the program has existed since, what, 2001 [01:13] i know [01:13] wafaa: there certainly should be a few dozen users of it somewhere. [01:13] just not HERE. [01:14] i guess yes [01:14] the problem is tht there's not tht much info related to giza++ [01:15] actually i could look through the source and find out all you need, but i don't think i'm gonna do this for free. [01:15] it's not like windows or linux [01:15] well if came to this chatroom [01:16] it means i dnt earn enough money to buy the answer [01:16] any way [01:17] thnks AnnaZ for your efforts [01:32] How do I do a screen capture of a window? [01:45] Scunizi: there is this mode in ksnapshot. [01:45] you can call ksnapshot if you press print screen button [01:45] AnnaZ: thanks I'll look at it.. [01:46] oh and the window may not be covered by any others [01:46] else you'll get all windows above within the outline of the window you selected. [01:47] ok.. that I kinda figured.. it's gotta be focused. [01:48] capture mode -> window under cursor, then new snapshot, then click on a window. [02:01] I just finished the upgrade from karmic to lucid, after restart, I have a blank desktop. Any thoughts? [02:03] (by blank, I mean the entire screen is black) [02:11] any further information on what you're running on? [02:11] .oO(and perhaps it's the time when you delete xorg.conf) [02:11] AnnaZ: amd64? [02:12] AnnaZ: display is ok, I have konsole and konversation working [02:12] but nothing else on screen (desktop, taskbar, etc.) [02:12] everything is black [02:13] Help, when I had karmic the window manager would correctly handle external displays, but with lucid it does not.. [02:24] doleyb: Hi, That probably isn't enough information for anyone in this channel to help you with.Can you provide us with some additional information like what you mean by correctly. The behaviour has obviously changed however we do not know what behaviour you previously had [02:27] amichair: i have heard of similar problems, apparently you don't have plasma installed in recent version. [02:28] amichair: reinstalling plasma should help. [02:29] AnnaZ: when I try to, it says unmet dependencies linux-restricted-modules-common no installable for linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-11-generic. Any idea what this means? [02:30] o.O that is just weird. [02:30] maybe some old kernel leftovers [02:31] (I've been upgrading since Intrepid) [02:31] apparently, and what could you have been using of restricted kernel drivers? graphics chip driver, wlan driver... [02:31] maybe I can just uninstall the old kernels [02:32] can I safely apt-get remove it? [02:33] yes. [02:34] i think so. [02:34] actually ext4 is SO great, pity you haven't installed anew. [02:35] how does its greatness show? [02:36] it's just fast i suppose. [02:36] and it doesn't have new problems. [02:37] besides you can't read every file when you mount it under windows -.- [02:38] AnnaZ: indeed, it looks like plasma desktop was not installed, nor kde-workspace [02:40] ah, that's better. thanks AnnaZ! [02:41] next, the upgrade removed the subversion user group for some reason :-/ [02:41] lol [02:42] I wish I was joking :-) === ruben is now known as Guest50524 [02:49] where can I find the upgrade log?

[06:12] fileindexer was up to 1.1GB ram, 2.5GB Virt and stoped responding fast enough, so i killed it. dbus is 1.2GB virt and 900m ram [06:12] chx: devs are away this week at uds some might be around but you just have to wait [06:15] eagles0513875: okay [06:16] eagles0513875: I mean, I know a bit about Linux and a real lot about open source development so I am eager to give a good bug report. This is not a bug report I would like. [06:17] DarthFrog: have you tried out Thunderbird 3.1 beta 2 yet? [06:19] chx: its a start the devs could help u with getting it more detailed [06:19] eagles0513875: see, there i am stumped. I move the mouse, click the button, nothing. [06:20] eagles0513875: the pointer moves but that's it. There is nothing else. [06:20] eagles0513875: as said, i even tried xev, moved the pointer inside the window, nada [06:21] bawww: Just whatever is available in Lucid. [06:21] eagles0513875: either something that sends mouse events to the rest of the system goes on vacation or the pointer as far as the system is considered is somewhere far off screen and it's only to my eyes on the screen. [06:21] chx: have you tried reconfiguring the xserver [06:22] chx: also is this an upgrade from karmic to lucid? or clean install [06:22] eagles0513875: upgrade -- good point to include [06:22] eagles0513875: reconfigure like what? [06:22] eagles0513875: there is no xorg.conf any more. [06:24] chx: i dont know the xorg subsystem too whel except on the side of graphics drivers :( [06:24] chx: do you have your video card drivers installed? [06:25] DarthFrog: it's pretty good, just came out today., they have some sort of new filter system and ui improvements [06:25] eagles0513875: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so is this what you are asking? [06:25] eagles0513875: this is an Intel GM45 [06:26] eagles0513875: (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) GM45 [06:26] bawww: I look forward to the day that Kmail treats HTML properly, so I can use it again. [06:26] eagles0513875: but note that i attached an Xorg.0.log as the only thing that has something in it. not much. [06:26] DarthFrog: what do you mean? [06:27] it displays HTML pretty well [06:28] bawww: Oh it displays it OK. Try forwarding or editing a received HTML email. [06:28] really, i'll have to test it out [06:32] chx: i know there were some serious regressions a lil while back im not sure if they are surfacing again with lucid or not :( as i dont have an intel integrated chipset [06:34] need help i mount my hdd on the desktop but i cant acess it,it say You do not have access rights to this location. [06:36] RaGNORAK: ping [07:16] I'm using Kubuntu 9.10, with my /home mounted on /dev/sdb1 (external hard disk). How can I ensure that my system mounts my /home partition on the internal HDD if the external HDD is not available? [07:16] does anyone have a good solution for everyday tasks syncing? [07:18] avishek: so you have a backup of the /home on the external? [07:18] bawww: you mean run certain tasks at a given point in time [07:18] oh let me clarify it's like a To-Do task [07:19] bawww: I use my external as my primary /home. [07:20] bawww: If I comment out the specific line in fstab, then my internal /home is used. I would like to make this switch automatic if the external is not available [07:21] avishek: what would be the easiest is to use symbolic linking with the external and make the internal your main, and you can store most of your data on the external. [07:22] eagles0513875: do you have a link maybe? [07:23] bawww: Thank you, it never occurred to me. But suppose the external is not available; in that case will there be any problem if I use symbolic links? [07:24] avishek: as long as they're not files applications depend on, which is mostly stored in your ~/.kde (if you're using the latest Kubuntu) [07:25] and for non-qt applications it may vary, but if your only using the external for personal files like pictures, music, and documents then you should be a ok [07:25] bawww: thank you!

[08:26] no suse livecd [08:27] yo [08:27] it's what I had on hand [08:27] been ages since i been here [08:27] is this place still as dead as always [08:28] sadjfklj: I'm just guessing now, don't know if it will work or make things worse, but you could try editing sources.list and change everything from lucid back to karmic [08:29] thanks, did that, I also changed the lsb_release back to karmic, but somehow do-release-upgrade still thinks I'm lucid [08:29] sadjfklj: how about manually installing a lucid kernel? [08:30] sadjfklj: when upgrade died, was it downloading packages, or it had started installing them? [08:30] hi there, the Kubuntu 10.04 is not working on a Clevo M570U(somtimes sold as Nexoc Osiris E703 III) notebook. although plymouth is working and ksplash is showing up, afterwards the screen remains black and only the mouse is visible. does anybody have any ideas about what's going on there? [08:30] I meant the Live CD [08:31] try that as well, actually I had a problem with apt complaining about broken and unconfigured packages (some library libdrm-nouveau), so i tried removing that, which took removed most of the system. [08:31] I then installed kubuntu-desktop, and then the kernel image, which completed fine [08:31] But i still have the error [08:32] either I have a problem with the grub configuration (because the initramfs image is there) or I'm missing some package [08:32] tried to do an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [08:33] ? [08:33] iconmefisto: the install dies during package installation, the download succeeded [08:33] sadjfklj: sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:33] moetunes: yup [08:33] iconmefisto: yup [08:35] can I get somebody to paste a copy of the grub menu entry to compare pls? [08:36] sadjfklj: grub.cfg ? or /etc/default/grub ? [08:37] http://pastebin.com/hMCEZfYx (grub.cfg) [08:37] iconmefisto: both if possible [08:37] http://pastebin.com/jNL2nL7K /etc/default/grub [08:40] sadjfklj: lines 10, 21, 32 of /etc/default/grub I have edited/customised [08:41] iconmefisto: do you have your root (/) and boot in the same partition? [08:41] sadjfklj: yes [08:44] question on grub: both the linux and the initrd load their files from the boot partition correct? [08:45]
