| Buddha | Does anyone here use Lucid Lynx netbood edition and if so, does it work well? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Buddha | I have Win 7 starter on this netbook I just bought and want to dual boot and test out this new netbook version of kubuntu | 00:02 |
| e_t_ | Buddha: I used 9.10 KNE, and it worked quite well. I suspect Lucid is an improvement, though I haven't personally tested it. | 00:19 |
| Buddha | Is the only real difference from the standard distro that it is more suited for smaller resolutions? | 00:20 |
| Buddha | The site only mentions that as the difference | 00:20 |
| e_t_ | The gui is pretty radically different. That is part of what makes it suitable for lower resolutions. | 00:20 |
| Buddha | Would it be difficult to dual boot with that and windows, and to remove it later if I didn't like it? Being that I have a netbook, my copy of Win7 is not on CD or anything, so if something breaks and I have to remove linux, windows has to stay intact | 00:24 |
| Buddha | no way to reinstall it lol | 00:24 |
| Buddha | I know I can dual boot easily on desktop | 00:24 |
| Buddha | but not sure about a netbook | 00:24 |
| e_t_ | Personally, I wouldn't shed any tears over the loss of 7 starter. It's pretty crippled (on purpose). You can't even change the desktop wallpaper. | 00:25 |
| Buddha | Yeah I know what you mean, it's pathetic. I had to install a third party agent to change the wallpaper. | 00:26 |
| Buddha | I've just had issues int he past with getting wireless and things to work on linux | 00:26 |
| Buddha | I didn't want to mess up my backup plan. | 00:26 |
| e_t_ | Put the netbook iso on a USB drive with unetbootin or the USB image writer. Then you can boot up the live environment and see if everything works, without installing anything. | 00:27 |
| avihay | I had to install a third party agent to change the wallpaper. now that's progress for ya | 00:28 |
| e_t_ | As I said, it's crippled on purpose, to encourage you to buy ($$$) a higher version of Windows. I think it could be great marketing for Linux. | 00:30 |
| Buddha | Those two things you mentioned, where would I find them? | 00:30 |
| nerdy_kid | anyone noticed that the context menu for dolphin is slow? | 00:30 |
| e_t_ | Are you running (K)Ubuntu on a computer now? | 00:31 |
| Buddha | Yeah, Windows 7 Starter is completely useless. | 00:31 |
| Buddha | No, not at the moment. | 00:31 |
| Buddha | All I have is this netbook | 00:31 |
| Buddha | Desktop is out of commission | 00:31 |
| e_t_ | Do a google search for unetbootin. It's a program for both Linux and Windows that lets you put ISO images onto USB drives and makes them bootable. Just add your own ISO image (i.e. kubuntu netbook) and go. | 00:33 |
| poyntz | plasma-desktop stuffed up on the lucid upgrade | 00:59 |
| poyntz | so i installed some thing called kde-netbook | 00:59 |
| poyntz | which gave me an interface | 00:59 |
| poyntz | but i can't customize or change anything | 00:59 |
| poyntz | how can I fix this? | 00:59 |
| poyntz | did plasma desktop stuff up for anyone else when they upraded? | 01:24 |
| harjot | how do i get midi working on my laptop | 01:28 |
| harjot | ? | 01:28 |
| harjot | poyntz: plasma didnt even installed when i upgraded | 01:28 |
| PeterDrop | any idea why pulseaudio crachme a lot my pc? | 01:30 |
| poyntz | harjot, i | 01:33 |
| poyntz | harjot: i'm confused cause I can't customize anymore | 01:33 |
| poyntz | harjot: for instance I can't add an application launcher to the menu | 01:33 |
| harjot | thats cause its netbook | 01:34 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| poyntz | so is netbook the new plasma-destop? | 01:34 |
| harjot | install the full lucid from a cd | 01:35 |
| harjot | it will work | 01:35 |
| harjot | poyntz: my kubuntu upgrade was completely messed up | 01:35 |
| harjot | no | 01:35 |
| harjot | its a skimmed down version of kubuntu | 01:35 |
| harjot | netbook kubuntu is the distribution your on? | 01:36 |
| poyntz | i think so | 01:36 |
| poyntz | plasma acquired a bug after upgrade | 01:37 |
| poyntz | so i installed plasma-netbook and kubuntu-netbook | 01:37 |
| poyntz | which gives me access to a limited GUI | 01:37 |
| harjot | thatss netbook version of everything | 01:37 |
| poyntz | ahh k | 01:37 |
| harjot | Just reinstall from scratch | 01:37 |
| poyntz | :/ | 01:37 |
| harjot | lucid has upgrading problems | 01:37 |
| poyntz | could I uninstall and reinstall kubuntu-deskto | 01:38 |
| poyntz | would that work? | 01:38 |
| jensoko | poyntz someone on kubuntuforums did that here http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3107594.0 | 01:38 |
| jensoko | I can't get my netbook to start kde in either netbook or full | 01:38 |
| jensoko | my iso of 10.04 is a few days old. Does anyone know if they change the isos when they fix bugs? | 01:40 |
| Typos_King | dunno, I'd expect it so | 01:40 |
| DarthFrog | Nope. | 01:40 |
| DarthFrog | Unless they make an official point release. | 01:41 |
| DarthFrog | The bug fixes will be available via the software updates. | 01:41 |
| jensoko | DarthFrog So...in theory, if my install or upgrade of kubuntu 10.04 hung after login, if I could log in at a command line terminal, I could do a sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and get those bug fixes? | 01:43 |
| DarthFrog | Yes | 01:43 |
| DarthFrog | And instead of logging in, press Ctl-Alt-F1 to get a terminal. | 01:44 |
| shadertest | A better idea would be to install gentoo | 01:44 |
| poyntz | jensoko: thanks for the link but it wasn't relevant to my concern :/ | 01:45 |
| DarthFrog | Gentoo? Spend the next month compiling your system. :-) | 01:45 |
| bazhang | shadertest, that's not helpful | 01:45 |
| jensoko | DarthFrog, Thank You! my Thinkpad x100e can run ubuntu 10.04 from the bootable usb liveCD, and I successfully used the usb liveCD to install kubuntu 9.10, but 9.10 is doing weird things with the video drivers, and the wireless is nonexistent. I would love to have a working kubuntu 10.04 on my netbook. This may be the way. | 01:47 |
| DarthFrog | jensoko: Good luck. | 01:47 |
| jensoko | poyntz: sorry about that--I thought it might help. I'm looking to do something similar--if I have to take a few extra steps to get kde and 10.04, it'll be worth it if it works | 01:48 |
| poyntz | ok. off a hunch it could be something to do with some of the widgets we have installed being not compatible with the latest version (highly likely as this bug often results) | 01:49 |
| poyntz | gonna reboot. see what happens.. | 01:51 |
| anirudh24seven | will there be any problems if i directly upgrade from karmic to lucid ? | 02:22 |
| === Xien is now known as Guest31278 | ||
| DarthFrog | anirudh24seven: Perhaps. That's the best answer that can be given. | 02:33 |
| DarthFrog | Likely not, though, if Karmic is running well. | 02:34 |
| anirudh24seven | oh... i'm having a few minor problems with lucid as i upgraded directly... my friends told me later that it is better to reinstall it seperately | 02:42 |
| shadertest | I suggest you install gentoo | 02:44 |
| islington | anyone in here use kget? | 02:44 |
| islington | opinions on kget? | 02:45 |
| DarthFrog | shadertest: Why are you in a Kubuntu support channel promoting Gentoo? I do agree that Gentoo is a fine Linux distribution for experts and suggest that your efforts would be both more rewarding and more appreciated if you expended them in a Gentoo support channel. | 03:01 |
| chelz | i remember when KDE4 just came out it was said that the release was to get it in the hands of developers, were there any follow up posts from devs after following releases if one of those releases is meant for users? | 03:08 |
| DarthFrog | chelz: The current release 4.4.3 is pretty good. | 03:13 |

| InvaderZim | These last days I'm experiencing some hanging issues when a program tries to open the "GTK select file dialog". I.E. in pidgin when I click on my picture to change it, it takes about 15 seconds to open the dialog while pidgin itself hangs. On Chrome happens the same thing when using the file dialog. Any ideas to fix it? | 03:38 |
| InvaderZim | Oh and after the first hang, the subsequent dialogs don't hang. But some time later it starts again. | 03:39 |

| jensoko | DarthFrog: epic fail. After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04, I used the ctrl-alt-F1 to open a terminal and ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and got no updates or upgrades to 10.04. My system still hangs when attempting to start services. Would I need to add a new repository to aptitude? Or is there a way I can use the command line to replace the kdesktop with gnome, because gnome seems to work fine. | 04:13 |

| jensoko | DarthFrog: It's connected via wired connection. I should be able to run that command. I am glad to find out there's a point of the problem, but sad to find out I'll not be able to use KDE. Yet. I'm hopeful though. Thank you once again! | 04:27 |

| ForgeAus | is it just me or is UNIX itself fairly much dead? too much infighting about who owns it novel SCO, etc... ??? which makes it more like Unix is dead, long live Linux? ... | 09:03 |
| ForgeAus | (unless you consider BSD Unix but even that is like linux a derivative) | 09:03 |
| tsimpson | BSD is not a Linux derivative, but BSD and Linux are Unix derivatives | 09:07 |
| ForgeAus | tsimpson right, but thats not what I said... I said BSD was a derivative of Unix (if you read it right) | 09:09 |
| tsimpson | ForgeAus: you're right, that 'a' must have jumped in my head | 09:10 |
| ForgeAus | which means we both agree :) | 09:10 |
| ForgeAus | well I probably should have had a comma before it... | 09:11 |
| ForgeAus | like linux, a derivative (or even a hyphen ) | 09:11 |
| moetunes | I thought mr torvalds wanted a mips kernel for home and linux was born | 09:13 |
| ForgeAus | its kinda a shame Unix is dying the way it is, providing open source to linux could have been interesting for stuff like CDE and even the X-server itself!.. to see where those things would have headed... | 09:13 |
| ForgeAus | instead it got messed up with infighting novell and SCO for who actually owns it... | 09:13 |
| tsimpson | well unix was never open source | 09:13 |
| ForgeAus | which is imho silly, why can't they both just get along? | 09:14 |
| tsimpson | but open source things were developed on it | 09:14 |
| tsimpson | ForgeAus: because SCO is pure evil | 09:14 |
| ForgeAus | I mean sure theres lots of infighting among linux distros, but they all recognise its a mater of taste and that "you keep your distro I'll keep mine" kinda thing... | 09:14 |
| tsimpson | like MS, but without that much money | 09:14 |
| tsimpson | SCO is not a linux distro | 09:14 |
| tsimpson | SCO is just a proprietary Unix vendor | 09:16 |
| ForgeAus | was, not sure they still are | 09:17 |
| ForgeAus | (court cases etc, novell I think got unix rights currently, I'm not sure SCO can/will still be able to sell it... ) | 09:17 |

| moetunes | afaik you should be able to | 09:53 |
| moetunes | does kdesu kate work from a normal konsole? | 09:54 |

| kifcaliph | thank you, but kdesu doesn't work | 09:55 |
| moetunes | hi kifcaliph | 09:55 |
| kifcaliph | I use su | 09:55 |

| moetunes | !kdesu | 09:55 |
| kifcaliph | then I try to run kate it returns kate: cannot connect to X server :0.0 | 09:55 |
| ubottu | In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why | 09:55 |

| kifcaliph | thank you guyz , you're very helpful | 10:00 |

| powerinside | Hey I so since I've attempted to upgrade kub using ubuntu , I fear some unwanted leftover ubuntu/gnome stuff... any tips on what all to remove usin apt-get? I want pure kubuntuish not pure kde | 11:05 |
| Benkinooby | lucid is with kernel 2.6.32 and i am with 2.6.31 | 11:05 |
| AhmedBH | Thanks i remember it now moetunes | 11:06 |
| moetunes | luck | 11:06 |
| moetunes | :] | 11:06 |
| AhmedBH | but thats already installed.. | 11:06 |
| Benkinooby | powerinside: better use aptitude.... | 11:07 |
| AhmedBH | uh | 11:07 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: that means you haven't updated lucid is all | 11:07 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: hahaha... now i did sudo aptitude update and got 1775 updates.... | 11:09 |
| Benkinooby | and 28167 new to install... | 11:09 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: with a lucid sources.list? | 11:09 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: j | 11:10 |
| Benkinooby | now i am doing sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 11:10 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: yes, with lucid sources.lsit | 11:10 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: I hope you delete that karmic sources.list then... | 11:11 |
| Benkinooby | powerinside: hmm, you could uninstall all the gui stuff and reinstall kubuntu-desktop package...but this will killl all ur configs i guess... | 11:11 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: for now i renamed it.... | 11:12 |
| moetunes | not without --purge | 11:12 |
| powerinside | benkinooby: not taking any risks then.. lol | 11:12 |
| Benkinooby | powerinside: see what moetunes said... use the --purge :) | 11:12 |
| moetunes | powerinside: it seems that kdm isn't starting for some reason | 11:12 |
| moetunes | not the --purge!! | 11:13 |
| Benkinooby | powerinside: i thing you will get all the gnomestuff if you remove the ubuntu-desktop stuff... | 11:13 |
| Benkinooby | powerinside: don't puge ;) | 11:13 |
| Benkinooby | purge | 11:13 |
| moetunes | powerinside: ^^ | 11:13 |
| powerinside | Um.. just a sec | 11:14 |
| powerinside | so sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop is okay? | 11:14 |
| moetunes | powerinside: just do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to see if it brings anything that was missing first | 11:14 |
| powerinside | moetunes: i just finished doing that.. lemme reboot to see if it bought back my loadings | 11:15 |

| Benkinooby | moetunes: http://pastebin.com/bmLJkur4 | 11:15 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: that looks like an update not os upgrade - sure it is with the lucid sources.list just to nag a bit :] | 11:16 |
| AhmedBH | moetunes: I solved it hh | 11:17 |
| AhmedBH | thanks tho | 11:17 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: no new kernel afaiksee | 11:18 |
| moetunes | *can see | 11:18 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: http://pastebin.com/5XA5b1UV | 11:19 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: then you are upgrading lucid - well done :] | 11:20 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: but should i get the ***.32 kernel? i am with 31 one | 11:21 |
| Benkinooby | now | 11:21 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: I would let the upgrade do it's thing first | 11:22 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: so i also checked what sudo aptitude dist-upgrade says... 33 conflicts.... | 11:22 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: that sort of thing is bound to happen when you mix sources.lists | 11:23 |
| moetunes | shouldn't have done that | 11:23 |
| Benkinooby | :/... next time i know :P | 11:24 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: waht are u using for updates? gui, apt-get, aptitude ? | 11:24 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: I always do apt-get - old school here :] | 11:25 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: :D... sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 11:26 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: luck mate :] | 11:26 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: thx... to be honest i am even thinking about getting away from kde to something lighter... although i will really miss all the nice kde-stuff ... maybe to xfce or lxde... (cuz i use a netbook) ...but for sure i will always use dolphin... i like it so much... | 11:28 |

| Ahox | Hi, I have problems connecting my bluetooth headset with my PC. While both hcitool and kbluetooth can find the headset, kbluetooth says it does not provide any input functionality. Any idea? | 12:05 |
| Ahox | Also seperate question, only one app at a time can play music (vlc, firefox, dragon player, skype, etc.) I understood that alsa does support multiple sinks or am I mistaken? | 12:06 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: hmm... i looked cles at fluxbox... it also seems to be the most poular among all the *box WMs. so now fluxbox vs. enlightenment :P | 12:06 |
| moetunes | !bluetooth | Ahox best I can do | 12:07 |
| ubottu | Ahox best I can do: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 12:07 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: enlightenment has some pluses but is harder to set up and has less interoperability with kde apps for example | 12:08 |
| moetunes | I find it weird | 12:08 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: it also seems to go deeper into the system and brings mor of it's own libaries.... | 12:08 |
| moetunes | it is fairly unique Benkinooby | 12:09 |
| Benkinooby | moetunes: i thing best thing is to spend one week on flux and see... | 12:10 |
| Benkinooby | and in case lubuntu gets official i will test it | 12:10 |
| moetunes | Benkinooby: lots of links to set it up - and there is http://fluxbox.org for how tos | 12:11 |

| hofoen | they need to be extracted to one folder, but the unzip creates different folder for every file | 12:23 |
| moetunes | hofoen: they are created in folders so of course - man unzip might have an option | 12:24 |
| moetunes | hofoen: the -d option looks promising | 12:25 |

| bartol | Hi everyone, can anyone point me in the direction of an opensource project using QTJambi? | 12:28 |
| moetunes | bartol: http://qtjambi.sourceforge.net/ | 12:29 |
| moetunes | first in google search... | 12:29 |
| bartol | I'm actually looking for projects implementing qtjambi :) | 12:29 |
| Mamarok | bartol: why not ask the developers of Qt Jambi? -> http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=296327 | 12:31 |
| Mamarok | they might know better than we do | 12:31 |
| moetunes | bartol: http://freshmeat.net/tags/qt - has a few too | 12:32 |
| bartol | Thanks! | 12:34 |
| bartol | Seems like most of them are C++ as expected | 12:37 |
| Mamarok | bartol: well, Jambi are just Java bidings for C++, what did you expect? | 12:38 |
| === dad is now known as Guest91123 | ||
| bartol | I don't know. I was hoping there would be a nice project out there somewhere to practice using QT with java. I'm not very familiar with C++ yet. | 12:40 |
| Ahox | Hi, is there some way to make non-qt apps use phonon or its backend? | 12:40 |
| Mamarok | Ahox: not that I know of, no | 12:41 |
| Mamarok | but maybe ask in #phonon | 12:41 |
| Ahox | Currently I can either use sound with a kde (sry, not qt) app or another app... kind of anoying | 12:41 |
| Mamarok | bartol: Qt is a C++ framework | 12:41 |
| Ahox | Mamarok, thnx, I will do that | 12:42 |
| Mamarok | Ahox: well, it is made for KDE and Qt applications, don't expect miracles. But of course you can ask the Gnome devs to use Phonon, too, just' don't expect any reaction on that... | 12:42 |
| bartol | Mamarok: I know, but I don't like Swing. I was hoping QT might replace it for me. | 12:43 |
| Ahox | Mamarok, and skype and... no, its just that in kde3 times one could redirect the audio output to the ksoundserver whatever its name was | 12:43 |
| Mamarok | bartol: maybe as in #qt? | 12:44 |
| Mamarok | Ahox: you talk about ancient times... | 12:44 |
| bartol | Mamarok: ok, I'll try that. Thx | 12:45 |
| Ahox | Mamarok, yes I know, I am getting old, starting to write about the good ol' time back then when sound worked ;-) | 12:46 |
| Mamarok | Ahox: it does work here | 12:46 |
| Ahox | it works here, too - with an alsa fore-reload to switch apps... | 12:47 |
| Mamarok | I use the plain installation that I got with Lucid, nothing changed | 12:47 |
| Mamarok | well, Upgrade to KDE SC 4.4.3, but that shouldn't matter | 12:47 |
| Ahox | can you use say skype parallel to amarok? | 12:48 |
| Mamarok | Ahox: I don't use Skype | 12:49 |
| Ahox | ok, whats about any other non-kde app? Firefox, flash, etc? | 12:51 |
| bartol | Ahox: Did you figure out a way to get thos things to work? | 12:51 |
| Ahox | bartol, only with an sudo alsa force-reload | 12:52 |
| bartol | Ahox: When do you do the sudo alsa force-reload, after starting amarok or after starting skype/firefox flash? | 12:53 |
| Ahox | bartol, I do that before I want to use the program in question. So say I want to use skype after amarok, I stop amarok, do an alsa force-reload, (re)select the outputs in skype, use skype. Major PITA | 12:55 |
| bartol | Ahox: sounds like fun. Skype doesn't bother me as much, but the weird flash playback is just so irritating. sometimes it keeps playing the sound of a video for a full minute after I close the browser | 12:56 |
| Ahox | bartol, oh, this should definitly be fixed by an reload | 12:56 |
| bartol | Ahox: thanks for the tip | 12:57 |
| kleopatra | Hello cqan someone help me? my sound isnt working properly ... | 12:57 |
| bartol | Ahox: Any insights on why this happens? | 12:57 |
| Ahox | My best guess is that flash buffered the soundoutput into alsa and forgot to issue a stop - hence alsa will happily play till it hit end of buffer. | 12:58 |
| Ahox | Having said that an buffer of one minute sounds awfully long to me | 12:59 |
| bartol | I tried tinkering with the flash plugin a few weeks ago, but that didn't do anything | 13:01 |
| bartol | it works most of the time, I shouldn't complain :) | 13:02 |
| Mamarok | !sound | 13:08 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:08 |
| Mamarok | PasNox: those links above, follow them step by step | 13:09 |
| Mamarok | especially the second one | 13:09 |
| PasNox | Mamarok: thanks. | 13:09 |
| Ahox | found a solution on http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Hardware_mixing,_software_mixing . Works like a charm | 13:09 |
| Ahox | kleopatra, what's your problem? | 13:09 |
| ForgeAus | can KDM use fingerprint scanner on ASUS notebooks (esp M50S model) | 13:10 |
| kleopatra | ahox: well my sound isnt workin in firefox, and vlc-media player. it alway works when starting the computer und shutting down , amarok sometimes works but i cant rely on it | 13:10 |
| Ahox | kleopatra, this sounds like the same issue I had. Just to make sure, can you please try an sudo alsa force-reload . | 13:11 |
| Ahox | and check if it works within one app then | 13:11 |
| kleopatra | ahox: before i forget, my comp often telly me about sound-devices that would have been taken away | 13:13 |
| Ahox | this sounds like alsa restarts already on its own... | 13:13 |
| Ahox | or crashes | 13:13 |
| kleopatra | ahox : http://paste.ubuntu.com/434345/ its in german tho | 13:14 |
| Ahox | no prob. yes, that's the message one gets from an alsa stop/restart, too | 13:14 |
| Ahox | maybe buggy drivers/hardware? | 13:14 |
| kleopatra | ahox: how can i find out? | 13:17 |
| Ahox | kleopatra, anyway you may want to have a look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Hardware_mixing,_software_mixing | 13:17 |
| Ahox_ | I am not sure about that. Sorry. Maybe dmesg is helpfull | 13:18 |
| Ahox_ | also really try the link I send you. It solved all my problems... | 13:19 |

| speedvin | for what? | 18:19 |
| WaY | for a composited screen for example | 18:19 |
| speedvin | hmm | 18:19 |
| WaY | wich driver gives more fps | 18:19 |
| DarthFrog | !nouveau | 18:20 |
| ubottu | nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default in 10.04. Currently 3D rendering is unsupported. More information can be found in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ - See also !nvidia | 18:20 |
| speedvin | simple or many advanced compositions | 18:20 |
| DarthFrog | WaY: Does that answer your question? | 18:20 |
| WaY | I think that nouveau is still developing | 18:20 |
| speedvin | Way: you're right | 18:21 |

| pat5star | nobody has done the upgrade from karmic to lucid? Perhaps the ones who have lost internet access and can't respond ;) | 19:25 |

| ForgeAus | 217 or so mb!!! | 19:33 |
| ForgeAus | ts bigger than some distros!! rofli | 19:34 |
| pat5star | m_tadeu: oh it does, it's just that in past upgrades (I'm talking immediately after they were made available) there has always been a few serious glitches at first. This time I'm deciding to wait for a little while before upgrading in hopes that it's all ironed out. | 19:35 |
| pat5star | m_tadeu: so I'm basically asking if anyone that has done the upgrade recently has experienced any common problems | 19:36 |
| m_tadeu | I did...had onw problem with the wireless connection | 19:36 |
| m_tadeu | which changed me some setting in a way that I coudn't connect | 19:37 |
| m_tadeu | but did another upgrade 2 days ago, and all went fine | 19:37 |
| pat5star | m_tadeu: cool, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm worrying about. Almost always with each upgrade it's screwed up my connectivity, and sometimes things like sound or video. Then shortly after that happens to everyone, they fix it. | 19:39 |
| Benkinooby | hi everybody.... i killed my kubuntu a 100%... no i managed to get luxbox but all my dependencies are totally messed up and i am somewhere between karmik and lucid... right now aptitude is complaining about a lot of unmet dependencies and wants to remove my half system.... how can i get a clean 10.04? | 19:39 |
| pat5star | m_tadeu: right now, I have Karmic running awesome, so I don't really want to mess it up. If the major glitches are pretty much fixed with Lucid, I'd like to try the upgrade tho | 19:39 |
| mauri | please help me to get work my scanner canon lide100 with kubuntu | 19:39 |
| === Guest48249 is now known as Jobob | ||
| m_tadeu | I think it should be fixed by now, since it didn't happen 2 days ago | 19:40 |
| pat5star | m_tadeu: I'm trying to avoid things like what Benkinooby is stating (how's that for timing!) too...because that's happened to me in past upgrades as well! | 19:41 |
| pat5star | m_tadeu: ok, thanks for your input. I'll do one more backup and then attempt the upgrade :) | 19:41 |
| pat5star | Benkinooby: have you tried the 'force' option? | 19:42 |
| pat5star | Benkinooby: apt-get -f dist-upgrade | 19:42 |
| Benkinooby | pat5star: yes, when i tried it before to gave me hell | 19:43 |
| Benkinooby | but now it is nice to me :P only wnat to revmove 5 packages :D | 19:43 |

| piano | Hallo. | 19:44 |
| pat5star | Benkinooby: I know it's not fun. Between 'forcing' it, and sometimes removing problem packages (reinstall them later) is the only way to plow through that mess | 19:44 |
| === piano is now known as Guest33568 | ||

| mauri | please help me to get work my scanner canon lide100 with kubuntu | 19:46 |
| pat5star | Benkinooby: In your error messages, you'll get a list of the packages that are unable to install because of dependecies...I sometimes just start removing 1 by 1 (writing them down) until apt-get dist-upgrade works again, then reinstall after...it's the only way I've been able to get through it, but at the end it all works | 19:46 |
| Benkinooby | but now i am on my way up :D... also i see that apt-get and aptitude (which i used until now) are behaving very different | 19:46 |
| Benkinooby | pat5star: seems, you suffered a lot :D | 19:46 |
| pat5star | Benkinooby: good good, well hopefully the rest of the upgrade goes smoothly for you...I'm going to try myself soon too | 19:46 |
| Benkinooby | pat5star: where do i get the messages? dmesg? | 19:47 |
| pat5star | Benkinooby: only on upgrades...but it's worth it to me for the end product :) | 19:47 |
| pat5star | Benkinooby: in the konsole (if that's what you are using) when apt-get conks out...if you're not using that but instead a GUI, I'd suggest switching to apt-get in konsole for the rest of the upgrade | 19:48 |
| pat5star | phone rining, brb | 19:48 |
| Benkinooby | pat5star: np... ah i am using conole most of the time... even now i am moving from kde to fluxbox | 19:48 |
| Benkinooby | even if i preferd aptittude until now (it handels dependcies much better than apt) i think in future apt-get is my choice for dist-upgrade.... | 19:50 |

| hunt | Sonsee: rightclick your desktop and look for it, there are other things like pattern etc, if you dont find it, you have to install it, just search for marble in kpackagekit, there should be something like kdebackground-widget-marble or similar, install it and try again | 21:26 |
