Typos_Kingsharkman:    I've had the same issue, but seems to be a driver version matter for my player, in this case Xine-ui, whenever I loaded, and play a dvd, it plays fine and all, however, any app started after xine-ui loaded, has sound issues, I simply close it, restart the app and works :)01:25

KrakenVery quiet in here!02:29
KrakenI have an IBM T30 laptop with Kubuntu loaded....problem is the default display driver is all messed up (bar at bottom of screen is all scrambled). Is there a way to force it to redetect the video, or better yet a shortcut key combo to open the web browser so I can download the correct ATI driver? I cant see anything (since the bar is screwed up) to open the browser.02:33

odhinnHello05:44
ZachK_odhinn: HI!05:44
odhinncan anyone tell me how to remove the Gnome meta-package from an installation of Ubuntu 10.04 after installing KDE?05:45
DarthFrogodhinn: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop05:46
ZachK_DarthFrog: i don't think so..you sure?05:46
odhinnthat removes very little....tried it05:46
DarthFrogZachK_: It will remove the meta package, as he asked.05:46
DarthFrogIt won't actually do anything, though. :-)05:47
odhinnhence my dilemma05:47
odhinnwould it just be easier to backup and do a fresh install of Kubuntu?05:47
DarthFrogodhinn: Do you want to remove GNOME itself?  The meta package is just a dependency installer.05:47
ZachK_odhinn: do you prefer Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu?05:47
odhinnyes, to both questions05:48
ZachK_odhinn: then I'd just backup your pertinent data and then do an Install of Kubuntu itself if that's what you like05:48
DarthFroghttp://superuser.com/questions/28781/how-to-remove-the-ubuntu-gnome-desktop-after-making-the-switch-to-kde05:48
ZachK_that way you just have the Kubuntu stuff...05:48
ZachK_but that's me05:49
DarthFrogAha, this is it:  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde05:49
DarthFrogIt's specifically for Lucid.05:50
odhinnlol....I tried that psychocats one, DarthFrog, but it drops an error and stops on me everytime....05:50
DarthFrogWhat error?05:50
odhinnI think I'll just wait a few days, backup, and do a fresh Kubuntu install...05:51
odhinngimme a few seconds, and I'll grab the error message for ya05:51
odhinndo you want it pasted in here, or privately, DarthFrog?05:52
DarthFrogIf it's short, just paste it here.05:53
odhinnit's a bit lengthy05:53
DarthFrogPastebin05:53

ZachK_hello buntfalke07:08
EnzoplexI have built my own home server to keep all of my DVDs as ISO. What is the best method for viewing the mounted ISO? Kaffeine used to play the ISO with menus and all, but it hasn't recently.07:11
ZachK_Enzoplex: hmm07:13
moetunes!iso07:14
ubottuTo mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.07:14
DarthFrogEnzoplex: Have you ever looked at Mythbunut (MythTV)?  It will play ISOs.07:14
EnzoplexFor the time being, it plays on my server itself. I will setup a client later that will remote mount via sshfs07:14
RandPaulI have a good question regarding the legality of certain software messages07:14
Enzoplex!ask07:15
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)07:15
DarthFrogAlso, AcetonISO will mount and play ISOs.07:15
moetunesRandPaul: you were kicked from #ubuntu for your racist remarks - i hope you won't continue them here07:16
EnzoplexDarthFrog: I have thought about using MythTV, but I am just running something internal to my own home.07:16
ZachK_moetunes: hey man..you don't have to bring stuff like that up unless it happens again07:17
moetunesk07:17
DarthFrogEnzoplex: I don't see how that's an argument against MythTV.07:17
ZachK_moetunes: nice to meet ya btw07:17
moetunesheh hello ZachK_ :]07:18
EnzoplexDarthFrog: It's not. I am using Kubuntu for the server so I can have an interface to create the ISOs of the movies that I buy.07:19

moetunesafter a few years playing with it i use the defaults mostly except for gop -dc and -bf whatever they are bawww07:43
tsimpsonbawww: besides "man ffmpeg"?07:44
DarthFroginfo ffmpeg :-)07:44
moetunesneither explain the options available - they only list them...07:45
bawwwmoetunes: yeah07:45
bawwwmoetunes: we need better documentation07:45
DarthFrogAh, you want "The Dummy's Guide To ffmpeg". :-)07:46

moetunesquote - -me method       set motion estimation method to method. Available methods are (from lower to best quality):07:47

RandPaultons of people down here can't update their windows effectively07:53
RandPaulbecause of the genuine advantage thing.........  give them a "Mexican OS"07:53
RandPauland only 15 bucks, they have genuine software07:53
ZachK_RandPaul: it goes against the grain of what Ubuntu is07:53
RandPaulwhen it catches on07:53
RandPaulthen come out and admit that it is linux, and now they know how to use it07:53
RandPaulmost here have never seen linux, but if you mention it they say they have hear dthat it is hard to use07:54
RandPaulso this is to schnooker people into using it and getting cash at the same time07:54
EnzoplexDarthFrog: I was checking out some videos on YouTube for the usage and functionality for Mythbuntu... such disappointing results.07:54
EnzoplexDarthFrog: Good thing I'm not basing them off those video results.07:55

tsimpsonffmpeg08:02
tsimpsonand how in the world are you supposed to figure out how to use it08:02
tsimpsondiscuss08:02
bawwwman the vp8 is pretty awesome codec for webm08:03
bawwwit looks the same as h26408:03
mase_wkyeh its pretty decent08:03
mase_wkjust need people to adopt a free(r) format now08:04
bawwwlooks like web video will be pretty open08:04
mase_wkyeh hopefully, still a long ways to go though08:04
mase_wkthe whole vp8 in flash should be good though08:04
mase_wkwill at least let you encode once and  use flash as a fall back08:05
bawwwyeah, that should help in the transition08:05
bawwwremember, but we want to get rid of flash08:05
mase_wkwell browsers like IE6-8 aren't going away any time soon and they wont' ever support (x)html08:05
mase_wk508:05
bawwwmase_wk: damn those users08:07
bawwwi think firefox is gonna gobble up more market share08:08
mase_wkhopefully08:08
mase_wki don't think choice is a bad thing but having a free browser supporting the latest open standards does help08:09
bawwwsince the majority of the browsers are going with it, the future is set08:09
mase_wkwell yeh, but the majority of browsers still unfortunately doesn't mean a majority of the users.08:09
mase_wkthere are still alot of people running firefox 3 and IE (all variants )08:10
bawwwlol let them become disconnected!08:10
mase_wkwell that is an option but not one i think will be widely implemented08:10
mase_wkalthough we have now dropped support for IE 6'08:10
bawwwdoesn't sites like youtube give you a no IE 6 message already?08:11
tsimpsonmost of xhtml can be rendered quite well as html, as long as you don't include the <?xml ...?> part08:11
bawwwmaybe the technicians and developers can get together to start a browser switching campaign for clueless IE 6 users08:12
tsimpsonit's up to MS to maintain their broken browsers, no one else can do anything about it08:12
mase_wktsimpson: not really, if you send the correct xhtml+xml IE 6 will not render it as html08:12
tsimpsonmase_wk: but if you send it as text/html, it should08:13
mase_wkyou can send it without the correct headers, but then its technically not xhtml08:13
tsimpsonwith xhtml 1.0 you can send it as html anyway, not 1.108:13
mase_wkthe more correct way to do it , is to use xslt to transform to sgml to those that request tag soup08:14
tsimpsonas long as you have the right doctype and possibly a meta tag, it should work08:14
mase_wkregardless, its still not going to support the video element08:14
tsimpsonwell sucks to use IE08:15
mase_wkindeed08:15
bawwwis handbrake a GTK application ?08:22
mase_wki believe so08:23
Elec2010hi, my kubuntu does not recognize my pendrive. any idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/438495/08:23
mase_wkit will run fine under kubuntu though08:23
Elec2010thanks in advance08:23
mase_wkElec2010: does that usb port function correctly with other devices ?08:24
mase_wkusually even if its not supported /recognised its at least able to enumerate the device08:24
Elec2010yes, it was formatted in winxp as fat3208:30
Elec2010maybe i am noob, just installed kubuntu one week ago, i am new to linux08:30
mase_wkElec2010: so what happens if you plug it into a  different port ? same thing ? ie plug in the device and open up a konsole and type 'dmesg'08:33
mase_wkin theory it should justt be visible in your device monitor08:33
mase_wkor in dolphin08:33
bawwwi'm having trouble encoding a raw yuv file into x264 codec with ffmpeg, for some reason i can't set the correct framrate08:45
bawwwis there like a special way to deal with raw files?08:46
moetunesbawww: bottom of   man ffmpeg   it gives an example of using raw - seen it?08:50
moetunesnot with x264 tho sorry bawww08:50
moetunesbawww: using the kubuntu compiled ffmpeg?08:51
moetunesor ubuntu compiled?08:51
bawwwmoetunes: i was using the custom ffmpeg, the one you recommended08:52
bawwwit's got the latest vp8 codec libraries08:52
moetunesbawww: I don't recall recommending anything...08:52
bawwwbtw kden works with it08:52
bawwwkdenlive*08:52
bawwwmoetunes: nm then, wrong person?08:53
moetunesit might have been mase_wk bawww08:53
moetunesbawww: my point was that sometimes ubuntu doesn't compile apps with all options enabled - that might have been the issue - but since you're using a custom ffmpeg it doesn't matter08:55
bawwwmoetunes: yeah, i seem to have all the codecs i want enabled08:57

apparleIIVQ: by compiz if you mean desktop effects then, in kubuntu it is called kwin11:16
IIVQok11:16
IIVQbut how do you enable/disable it?11:16
apparleIIVQ: goto system settings11:16
IIVQthat is, how do I see whether it's enabled?11:17
apparleIIVQ: then its somewhere ther..... mostly 2nd icon. I can't remember11:17
IIVQok, but it's called "kwin"?11:17
IIVQI'm having this problem http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478787&page=2011:17
IIVQand changed something in appearance but don't know what anymore so I might have solved it11:18
IIVQlots of ppl talking about compix11:18
IIVQ*piz11:18
IIVQapparle, is it desktop effects -> enable desktop effects?11:20
apparleIIVQ: yup11:21
ahmad_Hi all, how to set JAVA_HOME env. var.? my current JAVA_HOME referes to /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun, despite that my jdk version is 6 and installed in path /usr/lib/jvm/, I have added 'JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun' to each of the following files '/<home-folder>/.bashrc', '/<home-folder>/.bash_profile', '/etc/profile', and '/etc/bash.bashrc, and still my JAVA_HOME points to the old path, what suggessions? Thanks11:21
apparleIIVQ: actually in Ubuntu/Gnome the window manager is compiz. But in kubuntu the window manager is kwin11:22
Dekansahmad_: put it in /etc/environment11:22
Dekansahmad_: or add the command 'export' just before 'JAVA_HOME' in your .bashrc11:23
ahmad_Deknas: Thanks, I will try it11:23
apparleahmad_: or you could change the line in .bashrc to "export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"" without the outer quotes11:23
IIVQah ok, so there's no compiz in kubuntu?11:23
DekansI prefer JAVA_HOME='...' in /etc/environment11:23
apparleahmad_: by the way how did you install java11:23
apparleIIVQ: you can install compiz if you want11:24
ahmad_apparle: I have installed java using apt-get11:24
apparleahmad_: which version of kubuntu11:25
IIVQapparle, please no!11:26
ahmad_apparle: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS11:26
apparleIIVQ: what happened...11:27
apparleahmad_: and how did you install jdk... from partner repos or openjdk11:27
ahmad_apparle: not, not openjdk, from partner repository.11:28
IIVQapparle, nothing, I just have the "freeze bug" and many people associate it with compiz, that's one11:28
IIVQand two, no 3d turny effects for me - that's ugly11:28
apparleIIVQ: what's the bug and which graphics unit.... maybe I could help11:29
apparleahmad_: then that should never have happened.... did you install JDK 1.5 also11:29
ahmad_apparle: no the first and only jdk I have is jdk1.6.0_2011:30
apparleahmad_: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure <jdk package name>" if that also doesn't do the trick it might be a bug worth reporting11:31
IIVQapparle, http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9351113#post935111311:31
IIVQI did have a problem with a freezing desktop11:31

apparleIIVQ: I also see lots of corruption in graphics but mine does not freeze.... have you tried disabling KMS11:34
IIVQKMZ/KMS? what's that?11:35
IIVQappearently it's not a kubuntu LL problem11:35
IIVQpeople report it in kubuntu and ubuntu and also in 8 and 9 versions11:35
apparleIIVQ: you seem unaware of KMS.... its kernel mode setting... google it11:37
apparle!kms11:37
ahmad_apparle: I tryed command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure sun-java6-jdk", and tryed to write JAVA_HOME in /etc/environment, both useless, my JAVA_HOME still with old value!11:44
apparleahmad_: when you did dpkg-reconfigure didn't you get update-alternatives etc etc?11:45
ahmad_apparle: no, never11:46
apparleahmad_: If you don't mind try, purging it. and then installing it again11:47
ahmad_apparle: you mean uninstall my jdk and install it again?11:49
IIVQah thx11:50
apparleahmad_: ya.. use "sudo apt-get purge sun-java6-jdk"11:50
IIVQno I haven't tried disabling KMS11:50
IIVQhowever, so far it seems to b working, thx apparle for help so far11:50
apparleahmad_: after it is removed remove its dependencies with this "sudo apt-get autoclean" and then try again11:51
ahmad_apparle: ok, I will try.11:55
apparleahmad_: also... this is not a kubuntu/kde specific problem so you can try for help in #ubuntu also11:57
ahmad_apparle: ok, tahnk you very much apparle, for you help.11:58
apparleahmad_: I am still wondering11:58
apparleahmad_: how come export command didn't work11:58

apparleahmad_: tell me what do you get12:02
ahmad_apparle: ok I will do12:02

apparleeagles0513875: kill the klauncher process from ksysmonitor and restart it12:04
apparleahmad_: so there you go... it is set. how did you try to set it earlier...12:04
apparleahmad_: the prolem is not fixed right now coz this is temporary and is limited to that konsole window12:05
ahmad_apparle:  I have added 'JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun' to each of the following files '/<home-folder>/.bashrc', '/<home-folder>/.bash_profile', '/etc/profile', and '/etc/bash.bashrc'12:05

bazhangOxymoron, try in ##windows13:58

HazamonzoHey folks. Why might i be missing the little icon in my taskbar that allows me to mount / unmount devicesLike USB external storange and such13:59
Oxymoronbazhang: Already did, but nobody answers13:59
Hazamonzokde 10.0413:59
Oxymoronapparle: Yes it has.13:59
Oxymoronapparle: Reason its RAW is that I was need to abort moving process in Kpartitionmanager earlier14:00
apparleOxymoron: ohh..... I recommend you recover data off that partition and reformat it14:01
bazhangif it still exists, which is extremely doubtful14:01
Oxymoronapparle: But when you move a partition, how does it do when its moved, it must ocnvert it, right?14:01
Oxymoronbazhang: It does exists, all WIndows Partition Managers finds it.14:01
bazhangthis is from cancelling out in the middle of a resizing operation14:02
apparleOxymoron: so why don't you recover it using windows partition managers14:02
Oxymoronbazhang: They say it contains data and Acronis Disk Directory Suite says its RAW NONE (NTFS, HPFS) partition, which means something between14:02
bazhangubuntu wont be able to do this14:02
bazhangOxymoron, go with windows tools14:02
Oxymoronbazhang: Yeah I am in Windows 7 now, FINALLY made it install on another partition ...14:03
apparleOxymoron: since you are playing with NTFS its better to use tools from same people who made the fs14:03
Oxymoronbazhang: I just dont know which tools. I just want to restore the data and put it into a new ext4 partition, BUT its like 500 GB14:04
apparleJuJuBee: the setting I was talking of was in kaffeine for KDE3... it doesn't seem to be here yet14:06

Tm_TOxymoron: also quite offtopic (:14:43
OxymoronTm_T: Depends ... libparted is a part of Kubuntu kind of :D14:44
apparlebukayo: I had install the package qt-sdk and I can see examples14:44

markithi, puts %x[ls -l] shows the result of a ls command, but what about if the command produces some error message? how can I "capture" it in ruby?14:46

markitehm, wrong channel :))14:47

mouser--uberamd: Thanks.  I'll try the gstreamer preferences, and change it from xv, I guess.15:21
AlexLuyaHello,How can I get ibus support application installed by myself?15:24
NIGMAwhat is this15:24
NIGMAkonversation --help15:24
NIGMAcool another app that i don't know how to use15:25
AlexLuyaCurrently,ibus just support app that come with kubuntu,any new app ,such as chrom,that install by myself cann't be supported15:25
AlexLuyasorry,I mean Google Chrome15:25
AlexLuyainstalled from deb pakage15:26
mouser--uberamd: I changed the gstreamer preferences to "no xv", it tests fine in the preferences, but it still says "could not initalise xv output" in the program, even after a reboot.  I'm using virtualbox if that makes a difference.15:28
uberamdNIGMA: does an aptitude install ibus not work?15:29
jcgsuberamd: i think that answer was supposed to go to AlexLuya :)15:35
uberamdjcgs: whoops, good call15:37
jcgsno problem :)15:37
uberamdAlexLuya: do an apptitude install ibus from the terminal15:37
mouser--I've been working on this off and on for weeks now, and I'm really stuck and getting a little desperate since I need it for work.  Any other suggestions?15:39
uberamdSo is it just not properly playing video?15:40
mouser--No, it won't play it at all in subtitle editor.  It's giving me a gstreamer error saying "could not initalise Xv output" even when Xv is disabled in the preferences.  Mplayer plays the files OK, though I imagine it's not using gstreamer.15:44
jcgsi'm kinda new at this, so it would be useful to know. how long is it normal to wait in an irc channel before someone acknowledges a question?15:46
DyrconaQuestions are sometimes never acknowledged is no one knows the answer or the question is not specific enough.15:47
uberamdmany people just idle and don't check messages often15:47
uberamdthere may be 293 people in this channel, but I bet there aren't more than 15 people even reading this15:47
mouser--jcgs: It varies, depending on how many people are in the channel and what they know.  Sometimes your messages can be lost in a big channel like #ubuntu, too.15:47
jcgsmouser--: is half an hour about normal?15:47
DyrconaAlso, many are in multiple channels, and conentrate on one or two at a time.15:48
* Dyrcona is currently in 3 channels, but sometime in more.15:48
uberamdwhats your question jcgs, I never saw it15:48
jcgserm, i asked about whether it was possible to change a file type icon15:48
jcgsthe system currently seems to be ignoring my attempts15:49
mouser--jcgs: I usually get responses in less than five minutes, but I've waited half an hour before, too.15:49
uberamdhttp://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1672615:49
jcgsok thanks :)15:49
uberamdthats the first google result that came up for "change icon for file type kde"15:50
jcgsuberamd: i did find it earlier, it's just that all the posts on that issue are eighteen months old15:51
jcgshas nothing changed since they were written15:51
jcgs???15:51
mouser--uberamd: I forgot what channel I was in, and left out what is probably an important bit of info.  I'm using Gnome currently, and would have asked this in #ubuntu if I could, but I'm banned for some reason (despite never joining #ubuntu from this country before)15:53
uberamdmouser--: ah, that does change things quite a bit15:53
mouser--uberamd: Sorry for that.15:54
jcgsuberamd: also, the bug that the forum posts refer to is marked as fixed, so they must think it is15:54
uberamdjcgs: yeah I think it is fixed, I hadn't tried it yet15:54
Infinitum_OmegaHi15:54
uberamdmouser--: I don't have gnome installed so I can't look at that issue for ya, sorry15:55
uberamdI have it on about 10 computers at home, but none at work15:55
Infinitum_OmegaAnyone here experiencing issues with 10.04 Ubuntu / Kubuntu live ?15:55
uberamdwhat kind of issues?15:55
uberamdthe only system that gave me issues when booting live was my Dell XPS 630i, besides that they have all run fine15:56
mouser--uberamd: Ah, thanks anyway.  I imagine I'm caught up in someone else's ban (is there a channel I can go to in order to try and get it removed?)15:56
Infinitum_OmegaI tried the live kubuntu on my pc and it shows the GUI15:56
Infinitum_Omegawindow15:56
Infinitum_Omegathat has a icon for drive , settings blah blah,15:57
Infinitum_Omegaits loading then the screen flashes and im logged out15:57
uberamdmouser--: sorry man, but I don't know of anyone to talk to for that, I don't go to the ubuntu chan often15:58
Infinitum_OmegaWhen trying terminal login the screen size is out of range15:58
uberamdit doesn't support your screen resolution15:58
jimmy51_why do file associations change on their own?  i often have to reset audio and video associations becuase the wrong programs start opening when i click them15:58
uberamdit is trying to switch to a resolution or frequency that your monitor doesn't support15:58
Infinitum_OmegaI know that15:59
Infinitum_Omegabut the gui works15:59
uberamdjimmy51_: are you changing them in SYstem Settings -> Default Applications15:59
uberamdthe login GUI and the logged-in GUI can have 2 different resolution settings15:59
Infinitum_Omegabut switching to a terminal makes it go blank15:59
jimmy51_uberamd: i'm changing them in System Settings - File Associations15:59
Infinitum_OmegaIt's a fresh install15:59
jimmy51_uberamd: i've set video files to open in VLC, and audio to open in amarok.16:00
jimmy51_uberamd: but about every two weeks i'll click on a video and it opens in dragon player16:00
jimmy51_and an mp3 will open in vlc16:00
uberamdjimmy51_: is that after updates?16:00
jimmy51_uberamd: then i have to go back in and set it.   it probably is after updates.... i install them when prompted.16:01
uberamdjimmy51_: if I had to guess I would say an update to dragon or some other media related service is switching defaults on you, not really sure how to stop it besides removing dragon16:01
Infinitum_OmegaStart live disc .... Loads .... Open terminal ctrl + alt + F1 , it shows then i switch to gui and kubuntu loads, showing small bow with flashing icons,, when the first one lights up it starts again16:01
jimmy51_uberamd: ug.  it's highly annoying, especially on my wife's pc.  she tries to play her MP3's and gnomad something pops up and confuses her.16:02
Infinitum_Omega*box16:02
uberamdwhat does your xorg conf look like?16:02
uberamdjimmy51_: I totally understand, i would say just remove the applications you don't use and that issue will probably go away.16:02
mouser--uberamd: Thanks, anyway.  I'll try downloading and loading up a kubuntu cd.  :)16:03
jimmy51_uberamd: ok, i guess i could do that.  thanks.16:03
uberamdmouser--: No probs, have fun!16:04
Infinitum_Omegauberamd: You could say I'm a noob . lol But i'm trying. Well I haven't accessed that. Whats the path to it? and how would i access it on live16:04
uberamdjimmy51_: no problem16:04
uberamdInfinitum_Omega: it is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you could do a: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf to view the output16:05
Infinitum_Omegauberamd: weird why it doesn't wanna work, damn...16:06
Infinitum_Omegaok but ill try that16:06
Infinitum_OmegaIs the screen res defined in it as well?16:06
uberamdI think it can be, but it very well might not be in there, depends on a few things16:07
uberamdI have an NVIDIA card with the NVIDIA driver so it has its own config file elsewhere16:07
Infinitum_OmegaOk, I just don't get it... I'm using internal16:07
Infinitum_OmegaWeird why it gets to login screen but just doesn't get past loading16:08
Infinitum_OmegaI've tried fail-safe16:08
Infinitum_OmegaDoesn't work16:08
uberamdso as soon as you login it just says out of range?16:12
Infinitum_Omegano16:14
Infinitum_OmegaIt shows the little window that has icons that light up as it loads the "service or feature"16:15
Infinitum_OmegaWhen it reaches the third icon it logs out16:15
Infinitum_OmegaWhen i ctrl alt F116:15
Infinitum_Omegait shows out of range anf F7 brings me back to the login GUI16:15
Infinitum_Omega*and16:15
Infinitum_OmegaAny idea?16:20

uberamdtry going to a terminal and typing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg16:22

timbyBut when installing Kubntu it gets stuck on the choose keyboard layout after I select US18:32
timbydraik: a virus18:33
draikCan you run it from the LiveCD?18:33
timbyI am running a memtest on it now from a Kubuntu installtion cd18:33
timbyYes I was on the OS through a Kubuntu LiveCD18:33
timbydraik: Is there anything I can do to delete EVERYTHING on the HD while in the OS through the LiveCD18:35
draikYes18:39
draikGet gparted18:39
draikFormat the drive18:39
Infinitum-Omegawait18:39
Infinitum-OmegaWhat system do you have?18:40
timbyits a Vista OS underneath18:40
Infinitum-OmegaDo you have any OS on the drive, if so which?18:40
uberamdwait, Clerks the animated series?18:40
timbyI have some LiveCD's as well18:40
Infinitum-OmegaOk so have you tried safe mode?18:40
timbydraik: gparted is that a Linux command18:40
draikpackage18:40
timbysafe mode will not work, not does normal mode18:41
Infinitum-OmegaOk18:41
timbyhow do i run gparted18:41
draikinstall it first18:41
DarthFrogpartitionmanager is the Kubuntu equivalent of gparted.18:41
draikOpen konsole18:41
timbywill gparted delete EVERYTHING18:41
draiksudo apt-get install gparted18:41
Infinitum-Omegayou could get avast or another av and install it while running live disc if thats possible18:41
uberamduse PartitionManager if you use KDE18:41
draikgparted will format the drive for you, that will delete EVERYTHING18:41
DarthFrogtimby: It can, if you tell it to.18:41
Infinitum-Omegaand scan the vista partition18:41
timbyI tried avast18:41
Infinitum-Omegahave you run it off the Linux disc?18:42
timbyso go into the Linux live cd adn type the sudo apt-get install gparted and then how do i run gparted18:42
timbyyes I scanned the vista partition from Linux with avast and clam and trinity rescue disk and avira18:43
timbynothing has helped yet18:43
draiktimby, that command will only install gparted18:43
draikYou need to run it from the Applications menu18:43
Infinitum-Omegagood luck18:43
draikSelect your drive and kiss the info goodbye18:44
timbyok select the drive, that will be like sda1   right?18:44
draiktimby: presumably, yes18:44
Infinitum-OmegaAre you sure it's a virus?18:45
timbyyes18:45

InvaderZimi bet its that splash stuff messing with the video19:13
Infinitum-Omega??19:13
Infinitum-OmegaU swearing at me xD19:13
Infinitum-Omega?19:13
InvaderZimsometimes I went to the console, and the background was all blue, and the white dots were blinking as if it was loading, even though it wasnt... hard to read and type19:13
Infinitum-OmegaI saw that19:14
Infinitum-Omega when i pressed the power button at the top of the screen pink19:14
InvaderZimi tried a bunch of vga mode combination in the kernel grub line... all black19:14
Lantiziaanyone?19:14
Infinitum-Omegaand when kubuntu loads i see a flash of green19:14
Infinitum-Omegais that normal?19:14
InvaderZimLantizia: i think you can, you just have to put the cd as a source to apt sources19:15
InvaderZimInfinitum-Omega: hehehe me too19:15
InvaderZimInfinitum-Omega: right before kdm right19:15
LantiziaInvaderZim, umm you mean after it's finished install it all including kde-desktop?19:16
Infinitum-OmegaInvaderZim:  I think so19:16
InvaderZimLantizia: no not quite... I think it's even commented out at apt sources, check there19:16
Infinitum-OmegaCan't recall19:16
LantiziaInvaderZim, tell me... what would be the point of installing kde-core after the entire CD has installed?19:17
Infinitum-OmegaIt's really pissd me this bug... I just wana update and drop win19:17
Infinitum-OmegaxD Lantizia19:17
InvaderZimLantizia: hm i didnt understand your question properly then19:17
LantiziaInfinitum-Omega :)19:18
LantiziaAm I making sense to anyone else?19:18
Infinitum-OmegaWhy does the splash look all ugly ? seems to be loading in 256 colours19:19
Infinitum-OmegaNot to me19:19
InvaderZimInfinitum-Omega: oh don't get on that19:19
InvaderZimInfinitum-Omega: there is a workaround for it, mess with some grub cfgs19:20
InvaderZimInfinitum-Omega: after you update the 256 color impression will be gone19:20
Infinitum-Omega<--new to linux.. Need i remind you?19:20
Infinitum-Omegashould i update grub?19:21

capreaI would like to add a quick launch to my task bar but I can only figure how to add widgets. How would I add a shortcut to a specified app?21:07
uberamdGrab the icon from Launcher, and drag it to the taskbar, it should show a space for it as you move it around21:08
capreanot seeing the icon, would it make a difference that I'm using the classic style launcher?21:09
uberamdyou should just be able to grab the text then. If that doesn't work, you may need to switch menus21:09
capreawait.. when you say Launcher you mean what? I thought you meant Kickoff/K start menu21:10
uberamdyeah21:11
capreathen no luck, I cant drag things from that21:11
uberamdclick K menu, grab the app you want, drag it between the K menu and QuickAccess Browser, or Desktop Switcher21:11
uberamdseriously? I just did it.21:11
uberamdor right click and do Add to Panel21:12

capreawhat i really want to do is have a quicklaunch to a shell script, so I guess I'll add it on the menu editor21:13
uberamdYou should be able to just write a shell script and drag the file from Dolphin to the task bar as well21:14
uberamdI just tested that too, and it worked for me21:14
capreahopw about changing the icon?21:14
uberamdRight Click -> Properties -> Click the Wrench Icon -> Click the lage file icon -> Select new icon21:15
uberamdlarge*21:16
capreawont that change the icon for ALL sh files?21:16
uberamdI don't think so, just that file21:16
uberamdlet me test quick21:16
capreaHmm..21:16
uberamdeh it may21:16
uberamd1 sec21:16
capreaat the top of the dialog the title is "Edit File Type application/x-shellscript"21:17
uberamdit didn't for me21:17
uberamdit just changed the one21:17
capreaoh wow ok Ill try it21:17
capreathanks for trying uberamd21:20
capreabut that updates teh whole system21:20
uberamdThats very strange, I changed one for my ISO image and it only updated the one21:20
capreamaybe because you use Dolphin? I'm using Konq for my file browsing21:20
uberamdthat may be it21:21
capreaalthougjh...21:21
capreanow I have reverted the icon back to its original21:21
capreaand the one I put in the panel is what i changed it to (it didnt revert back)21:21
