[00:31] i just installed kgpg and its not reading the .gnupg folder.... i dont see any keys in the gui [00:32] hi [00:32] hi [00:33] zus: are you sure it is installed correctly? [00:33] my network manager icon in the tray is showing the unplugged icon, and where the menu should me it only says "network management disabled" any ideas on how to fix it? [00:33] check the settings, the home folder should be $HOME/.gnupg [00:34] zus: ^ [00:34] Mamarok, i just used kpackagekit for it [00:35] zus: also, do you store yur keyring in .gnupg/ [00:35] your* [00:36] Mamarok, version 2.3.0 KGpg (using kde platform 4.4.3 [00:36] zus: I'm not interested in the version, are you sure you have your keyring in that folder I talked about above? [00:37] also check the kgpg settings [00:37] Mamarok, yeah i had made a gnupg key when i was in ubuntu 9.10 and i cut and pasted everything into the .gnupg folder wich worked in 10-4 till i reinstalled everything [00:37] wait, you reinstalled, did you export the key before that? [00:38] cut & paste is not the best way to move a key [00:38] nope i didnt not export anything [00:38] i had my .gnupg folder on a thumbdrive though [00:38] right... are you sure your keyring is where it should be, including the secret key? [00:39] yes, i did the same thing when i initially got 10-4 [00:40] and 2 nights i go i reinstalled and repeated the steps now its not there [00:41] i only have the one key but the files in the .gnupg are from when i had ubuntu 9.10 [00:41] and did you check the kgpg settings? [00:42] in the kgpg settings what do i do? [00:42] i didnt have to do this before, so im not certain [00:42] <`Onyx> How do I change the colour of the taskbar? [00:43] see the GnuPG Settings, make it point to the right folder [00:43] also, why did you have to install kgpg? Isn't it installed by default? [00:43] acording to my info it should be part of the automatic installation of KDE [00:44] /home/zus/.gnupg/ its seems to be correct, and i looked everywhere and even tried alt-f2 to open the the program [00:45] so i used kpackagekit and it was 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 neither was installed [00:46] once started it stays in the SysTray. I never had to configure anything, but maybe you need to search for the key: Go to the Keys menu -> import key and select the keyring file [00:48] when the directory folder opens how do i find hidden files?

[01:07] I haven't been able to use some of the pretty window manager effects because ATI stopped supporting my laptop's 3d acceleration. :( [01:07] anyone experianced slow context menus in lucid? (2-4 secs to pop up) [01:08] I am but I also have a slow computer [01:08] pingveno: the free software drivers should support the card sooner or later. [01:08] pingveno: what card do you have ? [01:09] amason__: Looking up... [01:09] TN-048 how slow? [01:10] nerdy_kid: 1.3 ghz [01:10] amason__: ATI Mobility Radeon x300, bought the computer in late 2005 [01:11] TN-048 i have dual core 1.4 ghz. one of my cores pins during the 2-4 sec delay, drives me crazy. considering switching distros. [01:11] pingveno: erm i have a radeon x200 in one of my machines which works ok with the free drivers. Do they not work for you ? [01:11] There doesn't seem to be good graphics acceleration. [01:11] nerdy_kid:I have a cheap acer laptop and its laggy but none the less I like it [01:12] On KDE, turning on effects takes up 10+% CPU all the time, 100% when I use an effect. [01:12] Almost 0% when I turn off Composite [01:13] nerdy_kid: but since the 10.04 release I've noticed that xorg is using alot more cpu [01:14] TN-048 yeah, ive noticed that it now eats ram -- like 100mbs of it. [01:14] stays at around 100 though [01:15] Kate has problems opening .js greasemonkey scripts in 10.04 because in 9.10 it opened them perfectly whats wrong? [01:15] nerdy_kid: idk but I like kubuntu so i'm sticking with it [01:16] TN-048 i like apt :) so im sticking debian, but not happy with ubuntus kde implimentation. will stay kubuntu is i manage to fix the context menu issue though.

I don't want to download the message i just want to delete it [01:24] would mutt do the job without trying to download messages? anyone know? [01:30] I think mutt will do it, however it will probably be interactive [01:31] my problem is someone sent a video to me on a company email account, message is so big i keep getting time out errors about 50% through it with kmail [01:35] Mr_Sonoma: kmail has some issues left over from the old days. These will all be solved when they move to akonadi but the port is still in progress so it may not work for all use cases. [01:35] mutt or thunderbird should work fine [01:36] actually quite like the new version of thunderbird. [01:36] Some girl here to chat for a while? [01:36] hehe [01:36] i normally don't have this issue, although i occasionally get a akonadi server log error warning [01:37] billy_: what about a hairy bearded guy, no good?

[01:49] zus: did yu try to import they key first? [01:49] no need to delete that folder [01:49] Mamarok, yes nothing was processed [01:50] how many gpg files do yu have in there? [01:50] you* [01:50] just my one from when i made it to sign the ucoc [01:50] zus: you should have two files, one called keyring.gpg, the other one secring.gpg [01:51] and you need to import both [01:51] i do not have the keyring one [01:51] ouch [01:51] do you have it elsewhere maybe? [01:52] keyring.gpg is missing but i have the secring.gpg. i might i'd have to look through some files [01:52] importing both of them should fix me up? [01:53] you should, because if you have to create a new key, you will also have to make the old one expirate, did you create an expiration file? [01:53] yes, the secring.gpg is your secret key, the keyring.gpg contains all keys you downloaded and signed [01:53] i think your keyring has ones you imported without signing too [01:53] i dont think i set an expiredate on my key [01:53] and make sure to keep a secure copy somewhere, by exporting it to a file [01:54] maco: yes, all the downloaded keys [01:55] zus: the problem is if you have no expiration date and loose that key, it can't be deactivated, so at least an expiration file should be created to be able to deactivate the key [01:56] a revocation file I mean [01:56] let me try to find the file brb.

[06:56] yes its a mirror that i use [06:56] as the local mirror for my location is horrible [06:56] Rondo: i googled and i only found an error like that but for a ppa which this isnt [06:57] eagles0513875: but if you try to apt something else, the other repo's keys are still working? [06:57] ForgeAus, sorry normally this time its forever before i get an answer so i was youtubing [06:57] the other repos of the mirror im using update just fine there is this one which isnt and it only started occuring after an apt update the other day [06:57] eagles0513875: like not something in lucid-proposed but something basic you would find in the base repos [06:58] Rondo: i dunno but this is starting to get me frustrated i dont like having an unupdated system [06:59] eagles0513875: right. i think if at least your other repos are fine you could overlook the issue. possible an updated key would be provided in an update as soon as they figure out what went wrong [06:59] Rondo: i cant even update [07:00] let me try something [07:02] eagles0513875: try disabling the one repo for now and check back on it in a day or two. gotta go good luck === NZB6949 is now known as rumsyum [07:38] Hi all, ESC key doesn't work well, after press Alt+F2, the key doesn't work.

(guessing) [09:53] amichair: thought so too, buut wrong :) [09:54] I see Quick Access icons settings can be used to change the icons, but I guess not every icon [09:55] thomasfuston: you can always try to change the icon mangually in the .desktop file [09:56] heh, it's funny that the menu option is called 'icon settings' but the one thing you can't change is the icon :-) [09:59] amichair: yah to bad :) [10:50] Hello i`ve got problem with OpenOffice Base under kubuntu 10.04, i create tabase , tables and relations - but when i try to add for example a simple query or report I`ve got always error : access denied .

Btw, where can i change my resolution ? [11:27] no idea in kde4 but in konsole xrandr tells what are available and xrandr -s 1280x1024 or whatever changes it [11:28] hi all, WHY cant i save my resolution @ 1280x1024 and after a restart it gets back to default @_@ [11:29] AhmedBH: using an xorg.conf? [11:29] no no i dont have that [11:29] its by [11:29] xrandr [11:29] by the way [11:30] it should stick afaik - tried the gui way? [11:30] on Gnome it works fine.. only with KDE after each restat i gotta change it according to my monitor [11:31] Hi Room [11:32] I have found that I also need to edit an xorg.conf with my resolution every other release of *buntu on one of my machines, the other never fails to autorecognize [11:32] argh LXDE stole the default from KDE! [11:32] I have query on Kubuntu 10.04 desktop, plasmoid Digital clock setting ! [11:33] srikant: ??? [11:33] How can I set the default plasmoid digital clock size to large size, as in Fedora KDE 4.4. ? [11:34] I don't know fedora 4.4 but if you mess with the height of the panel it will adjust fonts so that might be larger for you [11:35] (ie rightclick panel and panel settings or click on the "cashew" at the end of the panel and click height then drag up / down) [11:35] it changes configuration/size of things... [11:36] find where you feel most comfortable with it then release and turn off the config [11:36] Yes, I am pretty sure about the mess up related to panel height size, but the size remains same, even If I reconfigure the panel, newly ! [11:37] oh ok [11:37] well then I don't know [11:37] The same behaviour of plasmoid digital clock size setting in seen in openSUSE 11.3 M6, even newly created .kde after removing .kde creates large digital clock in the panel by default [11:38] s/in/is === wise is now known as [wise] [11:45] KDE4 sits really well on SUSE from what I heard [11:46] (that was mostlyfrom around the time of Intrepid) [11:46] things may have changed since [11:46] (KDE4 wasn't so great in Kubuntu yet back then) [11:53] ForgeAus: i have seen it evolve and its amazing imho [11:58] But KDE 4.4.3 plays well in Kubuntu 10.04.. Lot of things are impressive.. but few settings related to fonts must be improved yet! [11:58] I agree [12:00] Is ayatana/colibri better than default notification system.. available in Kubuntu 10.04 ? [12:03] And also Kubuntu Lucid requires "Ubuntu Software Center" by default !! [12:05] The synaptic manager is ported to kde4 in Linux Mint 8 (KDE), but Kubuntu has not tried for that option [12:07] * GaelicGrime commits grievous sins and just loads synaptic anyway because it just work "right" for me [12:07] how can i make, that every virtual desktop could have just only his own applications [12:07] i don't want to share them among all virtual desktops [12:08] i want the same behaviour, as default in gnome [12:08] right click the task manager and edit the options if I understand the question correctly [12:10] hmm [12:10] for example, i am currently at desktop one [12:10] there are opened applications there, for example - xchat [12:10] when i switch to second desktop, i also so there xchat [12:11] i can't find related configuration in virtual desktop configuration [12:11] i also see* [12:12] yes right click the task manager and select "task manager options" [12:12] options->settings [12:12] filters [12:13] check "only showtasks from this desktop" [12:18] nareshbhat: ping [12:21] pong [12:29] , thanks ;) it worked [12:29] :) [12:30] There is difference between default fonts shown in KDE 4.4.3 on kde.org and the one provided in Kubuntu Lucid, is their any place where can find the exact fonts settings shown in http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.4.3.php [12:33] I have the same query, how to set desktop fonts like in Open Suse 11.3 for Kubuntu 10.4 [12:36] yayay === petr_ is now known as assdriller === assdriller is now known as assdrillercomeba === assdrillercomeba is now known as assdrillerreturn [12:36] allo === assdrillerreturn is now known as lada [12:37] sssssssssss [12:37] tgg === ravi is now known as RORUBUN [12:57] btw, resolution can be changed in kde control center -> screen [12:58] brothers [12:58] discozohan hello bro [12:58] xDD [12:58] hello, nigga [12:59] discozohan nigga?

[16:09] " [16:09] can anyone help me [16:11] You have a terminal open? [16:12] ya [16:12] OK, do you know which partition is the root partition? [16:12] ya sda2 [16:13] OK, all the rest is done in that terminal session. Type "sudo -i" [16:13] "mkdir /mnt/disk" [16:13] "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/disk" [16:13] "chroot /mnt/disk" [16:14] Now run your "update-grub". [16:16] has anyone else had a blank screen and unresponsive keyboard after logging out of KDE? Using KUbuntu 10.4 installed from fresh. It needs a hard reboot to fix :( [16:17] boabsta: Yah, that happens to me all the time. Shrug. Nuisance. [16:17] DarthFrog: is there any work-arounds/fixes? and is there a bug report already filed about it? [16:18] I've googled and looks like it was a big issue in 2007 too! [16:18] boabsta: No idea. It's an occasional nuisance to me, that's all. I just live with it. [16:19] Occasionally, I forget and press Alt-SysReq-K (I miss Ctl-Alt-Backspace!) and then have to reboot. [16:21] DarthFrog: happens every time to me - was looking forward to KUbuntu 10.4 too :( looks like a bad one after googling around bug reports from 2007 onwards, guess gnome is the way to go sigh [16:21] Just don't log out? :-) [16:22] i dont - my missus does though [16:22] You can have two sessions going at the same time, you know. From Kickoff, click on "Switch User". [16:23] DarthFrog: yeah we do that, had a session each but this morning it hung when my missus tried to login [16:23] DarthFrog: i am going to restart my computer, i will be back shortly [16:24] Faeces occurs. [16:24] DarthFrog: honestly i seem to have more and more trouble with linux the more mature it gets, windows 7 is looking good to me just now lol [16:24] nah its just tricking you [16:24] i have to use win7 at work. its *confusing* [16:24] Hey, if it works for you, go for it. The OS is a tool, not a religous choice. [16:24] hey hey === Ax| is now known as Axl- [16:25] upgrading to lucid.. now grup-pc upgrading.. i get /dev/sda with /dev/sda1 (32017MB) /dev/sda2 (0MB) and /dev/sda5 (1365MB), where to install grub? /dev/sda1? [16:25] DarthFrog: you can enable ctrl-alt-backspace in systemsettings > keyboard layouts (enable it) > advanced tab [16:26] iconmefisto: Thanks! I'll go have a look. [16:26] DarthFrog: yep, right now i'm using a chisel as a screwdriver and putting up with having to hard reset, its like windows 98 all over again - nightmare come true lol [16:27] DarthFrog: look for "key sequence to kill the X server" in the advanced tab [16:28] iconmefisto: I don't see Keyboard Layouts. [16:29] DarthFrog: http://img180.imageshack.us/my.php?image=plasmadesktopf14438.jpg [16:30] hi all, my postgresql8.4 refuse all connection from any application, either pgadmin3 nor any jdbc connections, any suggestions please. [16:30] DarthFrog: sorry, it's in regional & language, keyboard layout [16:31] iconmefisto: So it is. Thank you. What an ... odd location for it. [16:31] DarthFrog: agreed [16:32] hello. Anyone else using the DRI R300 mesa driver and google earth? ever since installing lucid ive had gfx issues with google earth (it worked fine in 9.10) [16:33] DarthFrog: i am getting this error" /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)." [16:35] ubuntu___: did the "chroot /mnt/disk" and "update-grub" work in your previous session? [16:37] DarthFrog: i wrongly mounted the sda2 in "/media/disk" insted of "/mnt/disk" but everthing else correctly. i got the same error that time, so i restarted the live session and tried exactly what you told me. i will paste my konsole texts now [16:38] /media/disk or /mnt/disk makes no difference. Just make the appropriate substitutions. [16:39] DarthFrog: ok. here is my konsole texts --http://paste.ubuntu.com/435024/ [16:40] OK, this time, after the chroot command, type "grub-install /dev/sda". What happens then? [16:41] DarthFrog: hey thats a good idea [16:43] DarthFrog: the command gives a message "Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed. [16:43] Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly." [16:44] DarthFrog: sda2 is ext4 [16:45] ubuntu___: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD [16:45] Aha, that's much more detailed. [16:46] iconmefisto: Thanks, that's very usefull. [16:49] * DarthFrog thinks Grub2 is a return to the old days of LILO when lilo had to be rerun to process config changes. [16:50] iconmefisto: i tried that but i am getting this error "DarthFrog: the command gives a message "Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed. [16:50] Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly."" [16:51] ubuntu___: Did you do the "mount --bind ..." commands shown in the wiki? [16:51] no [16:51] DarthFrog: no [16:52] qui et fr ? [16:52] ubuntu___: exit out of that chroot session and re-do it, as given in the wiki. The "mount --bind" should cure your problem. [16:52] DarthFrog: ok [16:52] DarthFrog: how to exit chroot session [16:53]
