[00:00] <crazy7> Torch: doesn't seem like it
[00:01] <ner0x> any good PIM ( for mail/contacts/etc ) ?
[00:04] <bukayoo> crazy7: try adding nomodeset to the end of kernel line..leave initrd as is..could be the plymouth thing
[00:07] <kaddi> hi, since I upgraded to lucid I find that sometimes a window that is moving out on the left side of my screen reappears on the right side. Is that a feature? And if so how can I use it actively not only by accident?
[00:07] <crooks3o6> Does anyone use a Wacom tablet?
[00:08] <crooks3o6> kaddi: It's a feature.  It's meant to be used to drag windows from one virtual desktop to the next.
[00:09] <kaddi> crooks3o6: how can you differentiate between moving a window out of the screen space and making it drag onto the next virtual desktop?
[00:09] <crooks3o6> Do you have more than one virtual desktop?
[00:10] <kaddi> crooks3o6: how do I check. I think I may have messed with that some time ago
[00:10] <crazy7> bukayoo: doesn't seem to fix it, unfortunately ... but it does say "cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device" , "bash: no job control in this shell" , when I do the init=/bin/bash
[00:10] <crooks3o6> kaddi: What window manager do you use?>
[00:10] <kaddi> kde?
[00:10] <kaddi> kwin?
[00:10] <crooks3o6> ok
[00:11] <crazy7> let me try all the different combinations of these options
[00:12] <crooks3o6> Settings > System settings > Desktop > Multiple Desktops > Number of Desktops
[00:12] <crooks3o6> ^ @ kaddi
[00:12] <crooks3o6> It should tell you how many you have active.
[00:12] <bukayoo> crazy7: ok..i see your symptoms but i use nvidia..fixed it with nomodeset....however my custom kernel is ok
[00:13] <kaddi> crooks3o6: ah yes, sorry. I somehow thought you were talking about activities... I have several of the virtual desktops, namely 4
[00:13] <crooks3o6> Yea
[00:14] <crooks3o6> Usually KDE will move a window to the next dekstop over when you drag it to the edge.
[00:14] <crooks3o6> Or at least that used to be the standard
[00:14] <kaddi> crooks3o6: yes that's still happening
[00:14] <bukayoo> crazy7: i had better success with radeon..if fglrx is not that import..got all the eye candies too
[00:14] <giuseppe_> !List
[00:15] <kaddi> crooks3o6: but sometimes when I start dragging it on my desktop. Eg to drag it onto a different desktop, it will not just disappear on the left, but reappear on the right
[00:16] <bukayoo> crooks3o6: it doesn't happen to me.  you can drag it but not all the way..it stops
[00:16] <crazy7> bukayoo: oh, I would be fine with going back to radeon at this point... I just de[pareatly want this system to work, in any sense, otherwise I'm going to have to find a a big external HD somewhere, back up all my stuff, reinstall, etc
[00:17] <crooks3o6> kaddi: That's odd..  I don't think I've ever experienced that
[00:17] <Rondo> can anybody tell me where to find keyboard shortcuts for custom application launcher?
[00:18] <crooks3o6> kaddi: change any compositing settings or anything recently?
[00:18] <Rondo> info i find on this online seems to be outdated
[00:18] <kaddi> crooks3o6: no this appeared after I upgraded to lucid and I think kde 4.4 was included in that. I'm still trying to figure out whether this is a bug or a feature :p
[00:18] <crazy7> does Kubuntu have some sort of "reinstall" option? or does it have to always format the root fs completely?
[00:19] <bukayoo> crazy7: my 5yr+ old laptop with xpress 200m is working nicely with radeon..
[00:19] <crooks3o6> kaddi: ahh yea..  I'm still trying to get used to 4.4  I was still using 3.5 until now
[00:20] <bukayoo> crazy7: there's no format option but why? you wud never know what garbage is in there. it's better to re-format
[00:20] <crooks3o6> I gotta split though.  time to find some food
[00:20] <crooks3o6> ciao
[00:20] <crazy7> bukayoo: this is a mac pro that worked this morning with radeon. Maybe some other system update screwed it up, and I just hadn't rebooted? either way, it's not working, and it's a little bit frustrating that the solution I bargain down to is to reinstall
[00:20] <crazy7> bukayoo: well, becasue I have 100GB of files that are going ot be a bother to backup & reinstall
[00:21] <crazy7> I'll have to format my external HD as ext3 if I want to perserve all the permissions on them... which means that I have to backup my backup drive, which is normally NTFS
[00:21] <Rondo> does anybody here use a hotkey to launch their favorite web browser, for example?
[00:22] <bukayoo> crazy7: ok..can you purge all the fglrx* and reinstall radeon?
[00:22] <bukayoo> crazy7: have you tried the recovery boot?
[00:22] <crazy7> bukayoo: that's what I'm trying to do... I booted from a liveCD, mounted the root fs, mounted dev, mounted pro, and chroot'ed in , and removed fglrx
[00:22] <crazy7> bukayoo: yeah, same problem
[00:23] <Torch> crazy7: sounds good. did that help?
[00:23] <crazy7> Torch: nope. actually, there was an error when uninstalling fglrx ... something about /dev/pty I think
[00:24] <bukayoo> crazy7: that error is bec it's trying to write to the terminal
[00:24] <bukayoo> in chroot
[00:25] <bukayoo> crazy7: it's better to boot in recovery mode and the purge all the fglrx
[00:25] <crazy7> bukayoo: recovery mode won't boot at all, same problem as normal mode... sits there and does nothing after fsck
[00:25] <XVampireX> how do I setup samba via kubuntu?
[00:26] <bukayoo> crazy7: even with nomodeset and remove *splash quiet
[00:27] <bukayoo> crazy7: that mihght help
[00:27] <crazy7> yeah, took those out
[00:28] <XVampireX> I think I'm reverting to gnome >_<
[00:32] <Rondo> XVampireX: why?
[00:32] <bukayoo> XVampireX: have you tried systemsettings-> sharing?
[00:35] <crazy7> hrm installing a new kernel inside my chroot gives "grep: /proxc/modules: No such file or directory"
[00:35] <crazy7> er, /proc/modules
[00:36] <bukayoo> crazy7: you need to mount proc and devs too ..can't remember but  google for chroot
[00:37] <bukayoo> crazy7: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot
[00:38] <crazy7> yeah, did that
[00:38] <crazy7> there is a /proc/module , but not a /proc/modules
[00:57] <crazy7> hrm, when installing/uninstalling kernels from the chroot environment, it does say, "DKMS: uninstall completed. Uninstalling: fglrx 8.723.1)" .... so it must not actually be off the system

[02:57] <ilembitov> Hi, all. How does one enable trackpoint scrolling on Thinkpad? I guess, it's done differently in 10.04, since there is no HAL

[03:40] <thomas_> need help with an error
[03:41] <thomas_> cinelerra: error while loading shared libraries: libesd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:41] <tsimpson> !find libesd.so.0
[03:41] <tsimpson> you need to install libesd0
[03:42] <thomas_> shouldnt it have installed with the package?
[03:42] <darkdelusions> tsimpson: do you know if Linux\nvida supports 3 displays?
[03:42] <darkdelusions> err kubuntu
[03:43] <tsimpson> it should support it, as long as you hardware does
[03:44] <darkdelusions> Humm
[03:44] <tsimpson> !xinerama
[03:44] <darkdelusions> Have a 3rd monitor setup now and when I go into nvida settings and try and save it i get • MetaMode 1 of Screen 0 has more than two active display devices.
[03:45] <darkdelusions> !dualhead
[03:50] <darkdelusions> this might be trickier then expected
[03:52] <tsimpson> I've never really bothered with multi-display stuff
[03:54] <darkdelusions> it doesnt appear twinview will let you do more than 2
[03:54] <darkdelusions> Hints the name twin view i guess
[03:55] <tsimpson> yep ;)
[03:55] <darkdelusions> Oh well I will turn the laptop Monitor off them
[03:55] <darkdelusions> and set so I can close the lid :)
[03:56] <darkdelusions> 3 display would have been nice
[05:02] <Sebas> is it possible to install skype via the medibuntu repo on 10.04? because I cannot install it..?
[05:31] <aperson> has anyone else experienced very slow file operations in amarok?  it seems every time I have large list of files it needs to copy/move, everything crawls to a halt after a while
[06:06] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[06:06] <silv3r_m00n> sometimes when I copy files from 1 partition to another , for some files it says could not read file  .......why ?

[07:16] <sobczyk> anyone knows how could I pipe /dev/video0 with socat through network to mplayer/vlc (nokia n900-> my kubuntu laptop)?

[07:21] <Anyday> i just installed 10.04 and kde keeps restarting out of the blue, any logs yall suggest i look at? i looked in the xorg log and was nothing there
[07:24] <moetunes> I can't think of a log it would output to if it is just kde - I would kill kdm and use startx to capture any errors
[07:25] <Anyday> i just checked out .xsession-errors but it gets refreshed everytime kde restarts so wasnt to helpful
[07:25] <Anyday> its weird when it restarts right before my fonts go all crazy looking
[07:27] <moetunes> that would make me think it is h/ware - vid card overheating or ...
[07:27] <Anyday> its an onboard ati xpress card,
[07:28] <Anyday> i was running another distro earler today and couldnt get it configured right so i came to kubuntu
[07:28] <Anyday> its nice everything seems to work otb but this problem
[07:29] <mostafakvd> hi there my usb laser mouse does not work how could I solve that?
[07:30] <Anyday> brb reboot
[07:33] <moetunes> mostafakvd: does it work if you unplug/plug it?
[07:33] <mostafakvd> moetunes: when I plug in it with another system it works well
[07:34] <mostafakvd> moetunes: but when I use it , then it doesn't work
[07:34] <mostafakvd> moetunes: beleive or not I simply plug out the power cord and wait just 3 min
[07:34] <mostafakvd> moetunes: then all things work well
[07:36] <moetunes> mostafakvd: it might just be a bad usb port - tried it in a diff one?
[07:37] <moetunes> 'cause it should work
[07:38] <mostafakvd> moetunes: no use bro I change it but doesn't work
[07:38] <moetunes> k
[07:38] <moetunes> mostafakvd: which kubuntu pls?
[07:39] <mostafakvd> moetunes: 10.4
[07:41] <moetunes> mostafakvd: checked the xorg log for errors about it?
[07:41] <mostafakvd> moetunes: how ?
[07:42] <moetunes> mostafakvd: the file is   /var/log/Xorg.0.log   and look for where it mentions the mouse - start from the bottom

[09:04] <vlt> Hello. I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 LTS and kopete for IM. I just tried to add my gmail XMPP account but get an error msg when connecting. (translated: "connection error: operation not supported"). Any idea how to solve this?
[09:04] <inspire`> i have a great connection and torrents will probably be very simple but no i want to stream cos its "easy" and hence i wasted 2 hrs on nothing while the torrents would have been dl'ed twice over ...
[09:05] <inspire`> i would fight to be lazy, but not for anything else hahaha

[11:03] <Kimppa> Hi. I'm having some weird problems with my kubuntu. Some actions stop working after a while of use
[11:03] <Kimppa> for example, I'm unable to lock my session, even though I've selected lock from leave menu
[11:03] <Kimppa> also, some global shortcuts has stopped working, eg alt+f2
[11:04] <Kimppa> I've experienced the exactly same problem after a dist upgrade and now with a fresh install
[11:04] <Kimppa> any ideas?

[11:53] <howlymowly> hi guys.. short question:  is there a specific reason to make the kubuntu-feedback  survey a from LTS version a plasma widget???   its somewhat intricate to put a widet on the desktop just for a survey ^^
[11:54] <jussi> howlymowly: you would perhaps get a better answer for that in #kubuntu-devel
[11:54] <geos_de> hello
[11:54] <howlymowly> jussi: kk i will loook there...
[11:54] <geos_de> I there a way to use a cd/dvd drive of a remote machine?
[12:03] <howlymowly> another question:  is akonadi + neomuk + strigi thought to be in a "usable" state yet? because if so, I must be doing someting wrong.. its hangs everywhere...  nepmuk is painfully slow with krunner, i have no idea how to use akonadi, its really not intuitive at all etc...?
[12:04] <shadeslayer> howlymowly: well theres work going on in KDE 4.5 to improve that
[12:04] <shadeslayer> howlymowly: #kde might have a better answer
[12:04] <howlymowly> kk..

[13:30] <Matisse> hi
[13:30] <Matisse> is there a tool for extracting audio out of videos?
[13:31] <Matisse> in the ideal case, extracting not recording while playing the video because of the quality loss
[13:37] <madno> Matisse:  try avidemux
[13:41] <Matisse> I#ll have a look
[13:54] <rohan> how do i install new plasma themes i downloded from kde-look.org?
[13:54] <rohan> google says i should right click on desktop - desktop settings - install new theme. but i can't find that anywhere
[14:04] <gorgonizer> rohan: you should be able to in System Settings -> Look & Feel -> Appearance -> Style -> Workspace Tab
[14:06] <Dyrcona> I want to build kopete from source so I can apply a patch from bugs.kde.org to see if it resolves a problem that I have with the Jabber protocol.
[14:06] <Dyrcona> All of the short tutorials that I find online are for creating a package from source when a package does not already exist.
[14:07] <Dyrcona> I want the source package from the kubuntu repository to apply the patch.
[14:08] <Dyrcona> I have found sources on packages.ubunut.com.
[14:08] <Dyrcona> However, the diff file there does not look like a usable patch, and the kdenetwork-orig tar ball is also not the debian package that the diff file was generated from.
[14:09] <Dyrcona> Does anyone have any advice on how I should proceed? Even if the advice is ask in another channel?
[14:10] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: ok one sec
[14:11] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: you can get any source from either KDE svn ( latest SVN ) or you can get the official version in the repos though : apt-get source <package_name)
[14:11] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: you need to have sources in your sources.list to be able to get the sources.list
[14:11] <shadeslayer> -.list
[14:12] <Dyrcona> shadeslayer: Thanks. I'll try apt-get.
[14:13] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: then you need to apply the patch through :        patch -pnum <patchfile
[14:13] <shadeslayer> where num is a number like 1,2,3...
[14:13] <Dyrcona> shadeslayer: yep.
[14:14] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: have fun :)
[14:14] <Dyrcona> shadeslayer: for sources i need a line like: deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid restricted main multiverse universe
[14:14] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: yes
[14:15] <Dyrcona> shadeslayer: ok. tyvm. i think i'm set now.
[14:15] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: the guys at #kubuntu-devel can help out more in such matters :)
[14:16] <Dyrcona> ok. i'll ask any further questions in that channel.
[14:17] <shadeslayer> Dyrcona: you can ask here or there,but try to stick to questions about development in that channel :)
[14:17] <Dyrcona> k
[14:18]  * Dyrcona goes to lurk in -devel to see what they discuss there.
[14:18] <sachael> hi, what's the name of the plasma widget in the default kubuntu that stays on the panel and you can quickly browse folders with it?
[14:18] <Dyrcona> QuickAcess Browser?
[14:21] <sachael> yup, that's the one. thanks

[14:38] <Hazamonzo> how do i install java for my browser? Whats the package name>?~
[14:40] <BluesKaj> Hazamonzo, make sure you have kubuntu-restricted-extras installed, java install is include
[14:40] <BluesKaj> included
[14:41] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Cool. I've already installed sun-java6
[14:41] <Hazamonzo> but iirc i need another package to get java on my browser
[14:42] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Any ideda?
[14:42] <Hazamonzo> *idea
[14:45] <jussi> Hazamonzo: sun-java6-plugin
[14:47] <Hazamonzo> jussi: Thank you
[14:50] <BluesKaj> Hazamonzo, so you installed  sun-java6-plugin, separately ?
[14:51] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Well firstly i install the sun java6 jdk
[14:51] <Hazamonzo> looks like it doesn't come with the plugin i guess
[14:51] <BluesKaj> are you going write java apps?
[14:53] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: I do write java apps :)
[14:56] <BluesKaj> ok, Hazamonzo is that why you want java6 jdk..I don't pay much attrn to java , because it auto installs in k-r-e
[14:56] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Exactly. i need the JDK for compiling applications with javac and such
[14:57] <BluesKaj> i'm sure a java chat room could help more, Hazamonzo
[14:58] <BluesKaj> yes there is one , ##java
[14:58] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Sure. i just needed the package name for the java plugin for ff :) Im good now. Thank you
[14:59] <BluesKaj> Hazamonzo, cool :)
[15:30] <martinalex> hi, since the last Version of Kubuntu (and KDE) i lost the possibility to send mails to lists of email-adresses
[15:30] <martinalex> and the adressbook in kmail is different from the Kontacts Part in Kontact...
[15:37] <markus_> hy everybody
[15:37] <markus_> any information when kubuntu will work again?
[15:40] <markus_> nobody using kubuntu anymore? can understand that :)
[15:41] <BluesKaj> !ask | markus_
[15:41] <martinalex> markus_: whats wrong with it?
[15:41] <Pici> !doesntwork
[15:42] <BluesKaj> yeah my tv doesn't work can you fix it ? :)
[15:42] <Spezi> is there a list of ubottu commands or something? they're so amazing, but i would never know a single one :)
[15:42] <Pici> !brain
[15:42] <BluesKaj> !Konsole |Spezi,
 The plasmoids are jumping around and just nothing works
[15:43] <martinalex> markus_: i cant see this on my kubuntu-maschine... i have just a problem with kmail and the adressbook...
[15:44] <Spezi> thx Pici :)
 did you install 10.04?
[15:45] <martinalex> yes, i did a full reinstall and reused my home-directory
[15:49] <TheAncientGoat> is there a shortcut to bring up a terminal?
[15:49] <TheAncientGoat> plasma crashed, and alt f2 isnt working
[15:49] <TheAncientGoat> so im up a creek without a paddle
[15:49] <martinalex> none is open?
[15:49] <TheAncientGoat> nope, only quassel
[15:50] <TheAncientGoat> although I guess in retrospect I should keep a terminal open...
[15:50] <TheAncientGoat> but why should I have to :\
[15:50] <TheAncientGoat> I most probably just lost quite a bit of work now
[15:51] <martinalex> TheAncientGoat: i dont know any shortcut, but you could maybe restart anything via ssh
[15:51] <TheAncientGoat> I really need to find a stable os...
[15:51] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: right-click desktop, run command
[15:51] <TheAncientGoat> cant
[15:51] <TheAncientGoat> plasma crashed
[15:51] <TheAncientGoat> so no desktop :P
[15:51] <TheAncientGoat> just a black screen + quassel
[15:51] <martinalex> TheAncientGoat: do the virtual conseoles work?
[15:52] <martinalex> TheAncientGoat: and i guess some work you dont want to miss...
[15:52] <TheAncientGoat> yeah, but they won't restart plasma
[15:52] <shadeslayer> markus_: it already works for me :P
[15:52] <TheAncientGoat> tty's usually make the things you run start in their own session, right?
[15:52] <martinalex> TheAncientGoat: yes...
[15:53] <TheAncientGoat> so that isn't going to hel[p
[15:53] <TheAncientGoat> I need to re-open openoffice to see if I lost the document
[15:53] <martinalex> but maybe it could be resorlved by killing the right process...
[15:53] <martinalex> TheAncientGoat: this could be done via ssh...
[15:54] <TheAncientGoat> I don't have ssh running?
[15:54] <akautsar> sory for interupt....how to install apache php mysql on kubuntu 9.10 is it the same with ubuntu??
[15:54] <TheAncientGoat> There used to be a terminal shortcut in kde 3.5
[15:54] <TheAncientGoat> ctrl alt backspace also used to work
[15:54] <TheAncientGoat> now I have to bloody restart or use ssh?
[15:55] <TheAncientGoat> sigh
[15:56] <martinalex> TheAncientGoat: this would be a solution
[15:56] <martinalex> TheAncientGoat: but maybe someone knows a better one...
[15:59] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: what about starting plasma-desktop from tty?
[15:59] <TheAncientGoat> doesn't that start in the tty session?
[15:59] <TheAncientGoat> which doesn't have an x server to run it on..
[16:00] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: export DISPLAY=:0
[16:00] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: then it will start in the running X session
[16:01] <TheAncientGoat> Ah, thats useful to know
[16:01] <TheAncientGoat> thanks
[16:01] <TheAncientGoat> Still though... The situation isn't cool.
[16:01] <TheAncientGoat> The entire system should /not/ crash like that
[16:02] <iconmefisto> plasma-desktop crashing you mean?
[16:02] <TheAncientGoat> OpenOffice crashing
[16:02] <TheAncientGoat> and then plasma desktop crashing
[16:02] <TheAncientGoat> and then krunner crashing
[16:03] <TheAncientGoat> Or the entire system freezing, not even responding to tty changes
[16:03] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: if you can reproduce the crash, it might be good to file a bug report
[16:03] <TheAncientGoat> it happens randomly
[16:04] <TheAncientGoat> And for some reason, the ooo file dialogue is slower than treacle
[16:06] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: the kde dialogs in openoffice? or are you using the openoffice dialogs?
[16:07] <TheAncientGoat> Well, the default file handling dialogues in ooo... looks like the standard kde ones, but I could be wrong
[16:10] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: you can change to openoffice file dialogs in tools, options, general
[16:10] <iconmefisto> TheAncientGoat: both work fine for me though
[16:47] <iconmefisto> lol, never seen this before: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1
[16:47] <TheAncientGoat> I wish bugs where easier to report.. The kde bug thingy is a step in the right direction though
[16:49] <iconmefisto> what's the kde bug thingy?
[16:59] <ForgeAus> hmm I wonder if a reverse wubi could be done, a lwii ? ...
[17:00] <ForgeAus> (windows hardfile under linux? boot to grub -> ntldr/bcd -> windows? )
[17:00] <shadeslayer> ForgeAus: lol.... i think virtualization would be better
[17:00] <ForgeAus> qemu can do it, sure but you have to be in Linux to execute that
[17:01] <ForgeAus> (even with kvm isn't it called? )

[17:30] <lelamal> hi all, I have a problem with audio (kubuntu lucid up-to-date): basically, I can listen to music with Amarok, and play videos just fine, but when I try to play some flash video, for example from youtube or news on line, there's no sound at all
[17:30] <lelamal> can anybody help please?
[17:33] <iconmefisto> !flash
[17:34] <lelamal> iconmefisto: if you were talking to me, I have adobe flash player plugin installed already
[17:35] <iconmefisto> lelamal: there's a troubleshooting section on that page
[17:36] <lelamal> thanks for that, I'll take a look
[17:58] <hdevalence> I'm using the upgrade thing to upgrade Kubuntu but it's now frozen. Can I kill it without breaking my computer?
[17:58] <hdevalence> ah, never mind, it's fixed itself now
[18:12] <kristi> I am somewhat new to Ubuntu, I am running 10.04 64 bit and am having a problem playing video that no surched solutions have solved. When I attempt to play video I get audio but a black screen. This is the same with any video player and even Skype
[18:14] <kristi> any suggestions?
[18:16] <TheAncientGoat> Kubuntu lucid papercut (on the eye): Authentication dialogues popping up... behind all other windows
[18:45] <zce> there is no more the "kpovmodeler" package in kubuntu 10.04. apparently kpovmodeler is on extragear/graphics, is there a PPA for that? i already tried the regular kubuntu-ppa
[18:46] <JontheEchidna> zce: its author discontinued development. It's no longer around I'm afraid. :(
[18:47] <JontheEchidna> http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-extra-gear&m=125667688109639&w=2

[19:05] <AhmedBH> " how do i get eid from it
[19:14] <crazy6> OK, so, how do I mount an ecryptfs home folder from and older user account? I know the passphrase, and all
[19:32] <vbgunz_> I just connected an external esata disk to my pc and device notifier doesn't show me anything. I just formatted the external disk and that went smoothly *but* powering off/on doesn't show anything in device notifier. anyone know why?
[19:38] <caprea> Is anyone familiar with program xcalib ?
[19:39] <caprea> I have a dual monitor setup, and I wanted to invert the colors of my desktop. so I did xcalib -invert -alter and it worked but only for one monitor
[19:40] <caprea> I dont know how to specify the second monitor. What is the convention? I know it's something like 0:0
[19:40] <DarthFrog> Your second monitor would be 0:1
[19:41] <caprea> It says 'Error - Can't open display 0:1'
[19:41] <caprea> what do the two numbers signify?
[19:43] <crazy6> any ecryptfs gurus here? need to mount an old encrypted home directory (ubuntu style)
[19:50] <caprea> ok I figured it out, I had to use -s to indicate the screen instead of -h which i was using for host
[19:56] <Snarkster> how do you share folder now? right click>properties>sharing>security button nothing happens
[19:58] <Snarkster> hmm even root cant share..
[19:59] <Snarkster> ah you need to install kdenetwork-filesharing before itll share?
[20:00] <Snarkster> dont you guys think that should be included in the upgrade??
[20:02] <vbgunz> im bugging out hard. I have an external hdd I am trying to connect through esata. but I am going through some hell. this can't be right. the disk is fine, so whats wrong, whats happening?
[20:03] <Snarkster> dude no one is answering anything right now so ill try to help you
[20:04] <Snarkster> if you plug in the drive what does comes up on the screen?
[20:04] <vbgunz> Snarkster: nothing comes up
[20:04] <vbgunz> device notifier doesn't do anything
[20:05] <Snarkster> ok, open a console and type sudo fdisk -l to get a listing of the partitions, see if your esata shows up
[20:05] <rain_> How to enable 3D acceleration with ATI  radeon HD 4800? I downloaded driver from ATI homepage and installed sucessfully but when I try run some apps that need graphics, these programs says that I need to enable 3d acceleration first
[20:06] <vbgunz> Snarkster: yeah it sure does. the KDE partition manager had no problem formatting it
[20:06] <rain_> Question:how do I enable 3d acceleration after I have installed the driver
[20:06] <vbgunz> I just checked fdisk -l and sure enough, the disk and 2 partitions are there
[20:06] <Snarkster> vbgunz: in the konsole type sudo mkdir /media/esata
[20:07] <vbgunz> Snarkster: I know I mess with fstab to get this working but I am so hoping I can just hotplug it
[20:07] <Snarkster> vbgunz: understood we just want to see if we cant mount it right now
[20:08] <vbgunz> Snarkster: yeah, I just mounted both partitions 1 after the other, I mean I umounted the first but they mount without problems
[20:08] <Snarkster> vbgunz: ok then its a kde issue
[20:09] <Snarkster> post a bug report explaining whats happening
[20:09] <Snarkster> for now youll have to mount it manually
[20:10] <Snarkster> both of my raids fanished completely lastnight. I used blkid to get the uuid so that i can put it in the fstab
[20:10] <Snarkster> you could try that. the uuid doesnt change or so as I understand it
[20:11] <vbgunz> Snarkster: nah, the uuid should never change. but all this hoop jumping completely defeats the purpose of this external disk being hot pluggable
[20:11] <vbgunz> :/
[20:11] <Snarkster> do you know how to change the label that shows up in the disk space widget? mine show up as root, home,/dev/sdb1,/dev/sdc1
[20:12] <Snarkster> completely understand man, comletely understand
[20:12] <vbgunz> I don't use the disk space widget
[20:13] <Snarkster> but if you were to adjust the fstab to use the externals uuid then it still becomes hotpluggable doesnt it
[20:13] <vbgunz> not sure, I can connect through usb and everythign works normal but at snail speeds. I am just bugging out how it isn;t the same for esata
[20:14] <Snarkster> yup
[20:14] <Snarkster> ask blueskaj
[20:15] <BluesKaj> someone has a problem ?
[20:16] <Snarkster> vbgunz has an issue with device notifier
[20:16] <vbgunz> hehe
[20:16] <Snarkster> its not detecting his esata
[20:16] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: I have an external esata device and thought it's listed in fdisk -l and I can mount it without a problem, its not hot-pluggable though it should be. it never shows up in device notifier.
[20:17] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, so it lists in fstab ?
[20:17] <vbgunz> I found a bug report on it and even tried adding a hal preference for esata but nothing is really working
[20:18] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: I did not enter it into fstab. was hoping I could really use the hotplug for it
[20:19] <vbgunz> plugging it with usb it is hotpluggable. plugging it in through esata, well , device notifier doesn't say a thing
[20:19] <BluesKaj> sorry vbgunz , I'm not familiar with hotplugging devices , is that similar to pnp
[20:21] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: I'd say it should be. if you swap the esata for usb right now, I can plug it in, and device notifier detects it with no problems. everything works but transfers are slow. esata is just a faster connection and it should be detected like usb but simply isn't. I read this worked up until KDE 4.3.4 but died thereafter
[20:22] <BluesKaj> what format is esata ..external sata drive?
[20:22] <vbgunz> yeah exactly
[20:22] <vbgunz> I have 2 partitions. 1 is ext4 and the other is ntfs
[20:24] <vbgunz> just to avoid the headaches I really think I am gonna just mess with the fstab but damn that so defeats the purpose :/
[20:24] <Snarkster> agreed
[20:25] <vbgunz> this is what I was referring too earlier https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231312
[20:26] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, maybe there's some info on the net about setting up an esata in fstab and an example the required entry to automount/autodetect the drive
[20:28] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: yeah, I am gonna try figuring this out
[20:29] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, this is the first time I've encountered esata
[20:29] <BluesKaj> wish you luck
[20:30] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: thanks :)
[20:36] <Freddy2> hi
[20:37] <Freddy2> has anybody seen a strange floppy lookup when grub is starting? i mean, it seems to go to the floppy drive for some reason, and slows the startup
[20:38] <Freddy2> should be solved by disabling the drive at the bios but.. there is no other better way to deal with this?
[20:39] <ciclope> ciao a ttui
[20:42] <BluesKaj> Freddy2, the floppy should just be futher down in the bios boot sequence order , then it would be ignored if the cdrom and hdd are ahead of it in the order
[20:43] <khaled> b
[20:43] <vbgunz> BluesKaj, Snarkster: I found a solution that makes the esata as hotpluggable as possible right here http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12127#c19
[20:43] <khaled> jnh
[20:43] <Freddy2> but grub (and the OS) is launched, and works fine, so.. why?
[20:43] <khaled> ola
[20:43] <khaled> nbjgnffndujn bf
[20:43] <Snarkster> awesome vbgunz
[20:43] <vbgunz> that should truly be a part of Ubuntu in a more sane way. it seems to work somewhat
[20:44] <vbgunz> for some reason I cannot unmount one of the partitions, says, a file is open but its not, or no file should be opened
[20:44] <Snarkster> well im happy for ya. hope it all works good.
[20:44] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, good to hear :)
[20:44] <Snarkster> i gotta get backto sorting images.. sheesh 65k images to sort. ttyl
[20:45] <vbgunz> heh, gonna reboot and just make sure this works
[20:46] <BluesKaj> Freddy2, well if the machine works fine , then why worry ?
[20:55] <sheytan> Hi there ;)
[20:55] <sheytan> Just made a mockup of Kubuntu home page
[20:56] <sheytan> it's still work in progress
[20:56] <sheytan> you can see it here: http://img25.imageshack.us/i/k8test1.jpg/ :)
[21:05] <BluesKaj> sheytan, why are you posting that here ?   This is a support chat.
[21:05] <sheytan> BluesKaj here are almost all kubuntu users
[21:07] <rain_> how to remove broken packages with apt-get if i don't know packages name but i know i have 2 broken packages
[21:09] <BluesKaj> sheytan, so , is it going to help anyone;s problems ?
[21:10] <BluesKaj> sheytan, looks good, but it doesn't help anyone :)
[21:19] <pingveno> Two questions. Is tmpfs significantly faster for /tmp? And is it worth paying an extra US$50 to use it?
[21:26] <rork> rain_: do you mean broken packages or broken dependencies?
[21:27] <rain_> it says packages
[21:27] <Freddy2> BluesKaj: just trying to look for a way to remove the 5/10 seconds extra delay at startup
[21:28] <rork> rain_: can you !pastebin the output of apt-get?
[21:29] <rain_> pastebin?
[21:30] <rork> !pastebin | rain_
[21:33] <rork> I think to pastebin isn't a real verb yet :P
[21:39] <BluesKaj> rork, it is here :)
[21:41] <rork> ^^
[21:41] <rain_> actually
[21:41] <rain_> apt-get isn't shoing them
[21:42] <rain_> but when I run synaptic it says that i have 2 invalid packetts
[21:42] <rain_> I just thought that apt-get could somehow automatically find and remove these
[21:44] <BluesKaj> rain_, use synaptic to fix broken packages, click edit/fix broken pkgs , then apply
[21:46] <rain_> tnx
[21:48] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: so, here is the summary on the esata hot pluggable disk. it does work with the hal preference link I mentioned before. The thing is, all disk even those that are internal show up in device notifier as removeable. the simple solution there though is to hide them and you'll never see them. so, by putting in the hal preference, my esata is indeed hotpluggable and device notifier hides my internal disk for me. it works.
[21:49] <vbgunz> I just thought I chime back in about my situation so far. I wish there was more out of the box support for esata but this will definitely do.
[21:53] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, it's good that you reported because these kinds of setups will probly become more popular with all the outboard drives ppl are using now
[22:29] <marloshouse> i just upgraded to ubuntu 10 and kde has lost all menus and mouse clicking.  mouse movement still works, but everything else is gone.  is there a file/folder i can delete to get everything to reset?
[22:42] <Reign1> how to check my connection details?
[22:43] <mothergoose729> can anyone help me with program file premission?
[22:44] <mothergoose729> I want to enable code blocks to run exectable programs I compile and create, but right now it is denying it sufficient privileges
[22:46] <BluesKaj> Reign1, ifconfig and ip a | grep inet
[22:49] <Reign1> what about if i need to know how my knetworkmanager managed to connect throu my vpn while all the time it couldnt? it seems that it somehouw loaded some plugins
[22:49] <Reign1> im checking /var/log/daemon.log, anything else to check>
[22:49] <Reign1> ?
[22:53] <Sonsee> hi all, one question about konqueror. I set "custom style" in appearence and set the colors I like. Now I don`t have any logos and imegeaes on some websites? by default style it works good. any idea?
[22:54] <Sonsee> images
[22:54] <Sonsee> *
[22:54] <mothergoose729> Did you change the KDE color scheme?
[22:54] <Sonsee> yes
[22:54] <Sonsee> but that is not the reason
[22:54] <mothergoose729> It changes the color on websites as well
[22:54] <Sonsee> because with default it does not work either
[22:54] <mothergoose729> I have had buttons appear to "disappear before"
[22:54] <Sonsee> ok
[22:55] <Sonsee> my question is not about the colors
[22:55] <Sonsee> i have, for example, on youtube NO logo "Youtube" that is red-white colored
[22:55] <Sonsee> why?)
[22:56] <mothergoose729> idk, I use firefox to browse. Why are you sticking with konquer?
[22:56] <Sonsee> I like it :)
[22:56] <mothergoose729> :)
[22:56] <Sonsee> I have chrome and firefox
[22:56] <Sonsee> but I do like konqueror
[22:56] <Sonsee> and I love kmail
[22:57] <Sonsee> ))
[22:57] <Sonsee> somebody know how to fix it?
[23:05] <BluesKaj> Sonsee, install kubuntu-restricted-extras and flashplugin-nonfree

[23:36] <cannonfodder> now   i was testing security and noticed that anyone could upload a php file and then run it....for example   i was able to upload hack.php
[23:36] <cannonfodder> then navigate to  www.mysite.com/files/hack.php
[23:37] <CrazyDoode> here try this..
[23:37] <cannonfodder> and the php file ran....so i set the permissions so that only owner can read write execute that file and i was still able to run it by navigating to it....how is it that anyone navigating to my site is considered owner

[23:40] <nicklas_> hello, when it comes to kubuntu, there is a dvd iso you can download, what is the difference from the regular cd iso?
[23:44] <amichair> nicklas_: it contains all packages from all versions (live/alternate/desktop/server), and I think also built-in extra language packs etc.
[23:55] <Ites> hello
