[02:31] <Bishop_> is gnome the primary platform?
[02:33] <Bishop_> is all options available with kubuntu, and how much later is kde edition released usually?
[03:02] <hunt> Hi, does anyone know whether someone is working on kde 4.5 builds for the kubuntu beta backports ppa? The last updates in that ppa are from 5 weeks ago...
[03:05] <ikonia> hunt: I'm sure it's being worked on

[04:44] <hasenj> hi
[04:44] <hasenj> how do I chose the icon theme for gtk+ apps?
[04:45] <hasenj> if I choose qtcurve I get oxygen theme
[04:45] <hasenj> if I choose any other gtk theme I get some default gnome icon theme
[04:52] <hasenj> anyone here?
[04:52] <img> yep
[04:52] <jarrett> me
[04:53] <hasenj> :)
[04:53] <hasenj> how do I set the gtk icon theme?
[04:54] <img> ~/.icons
[04:54] <img> put your theme there
[04:55] <hasenj> yea
[04:55] <hasenj> but how do I choose a certain theme to be used by gtk apps?
[04:55] <hasenj> I can only change the widget theme from the System Settings -> Appearance -> GTK apps
[04:55] <hasenj> the icon theme is always some default gnome thing
[04:56] <img> humm
[04:56] <img> i gotcha
[04:56] <Vegeta> what operating system yall use?
[04:57] <Vegeta> kidding

[04:58] <Vegeta> has anyone here heard of themanaworld mmorpg?
[04:59] <img> @hasenj i have a .gtkrc* file here and there is: gtk-icon-theme-name="xxxxxxx"
[04:59] <img> so change de xxxxxx for the theme u want
[04:59] <hasenj> img: aah, cool
[04:59] <hasenj> thanks

[05:01] <hasenj> hmm .. that didn't seem to work :/
[05:02] <img> did u find the file and change it?
[05:02] <hasenj> yea
[05:02] <hasenj> gtkrc-2.0-kde
[05:03] <hasenj> or actually ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4
[05:04] <img> yep :S
[05:04] <img> mine is the same
[05:05] <hasenj> I basically put gtk-icon-theme-name="Oxygen"
[05:07] <hasenj> aaah
[05:07] <hasenj> nvm

[06:34] <bronlar> i need my rez set higher so i can see right rfl
[06:34] <zus> ahh
[06:34] <zus> could the drivers be choking the card a bit?
[06:34] <bronlar> this looks like my old c-64 screen on my 57" zenith foor model atm
[06:34] <zus> maybe a different set might offermore rez?
[06:34] <bronlar> yes absolutely

[06:35] <bronlar> i would like to do one or two higher than tht
[06:36] <bronlar> i dunno my monitors max caps. it's only a 19" crt and isnt eeven multisync
[06:36] <bronlar> but i know it does 1024x768 and one or two beyond tht in xp
[06:36] <zus> my pc wont handle my geforce fx 5200 card i have to reseat the ram to unstick it from the hp screen
[06:37] <zus> i would  try maybe using envy and trying a few other drivers
[06:37] <bronlar> and set yer bios to use agp display by default
[06:37] <bronlar> so what bpackage should i apt-get/
[06:37] <zus> but my car said its a pci
[06:37] <bronlar> is it pci-express/??
[06:38] <zus> good question
[06:38] <bronlar> i thought all geforce plugge into agp mobo slots
[06:38] <bronlar> well do u have it in yer mobo's agp slot or one of many pci slots?
[06:38] <bronlar> set yer bios accordingly
[06:38] <zus> there is also the fact thats its a dvi plug i use the vga adapter for the monitor
[06:38] <bronlar> im a pro coder. i can help
[06:38] <zus> i've tried both
[06:39] <bronlar> i a well use vga
[06:39] <zus> im a trial and error profesional
[06:39] <bronlar> set bios to agp
[06:39] <bronlar> fotr sure
[06:39] <bronlar> im positive it aint pci
[06:39] <zus> its only a 128 card but will help alot in linux with such low spec reqs.
[06:39] <bronlar> no way i had one exactly like that. still have itr my old 64m card
[06:40] <bronlar> my card is registered in linux as only a 128mb card but t is a 256mb one
[06:41] <bronlar> yeh i have one of those too an old nvidia geforce 400mmx 128mb
[06:41] <bronlar> so what driver package do i need to apt-get?
[06:41] <zus> i replaced my geforce2 400mmx but it was a 32 i think.
[06:41] <bronlar> did u get yeer default file types all set proper now in ff?
[06:41] <zus> i remeber seeing it when i was using ubuntu its called envy
[06:42] <zus> envyg
[06:42] <bronlar> i have a 64 and  128.
[06:42] <zus> one sec let me pull up the site i was reading
[06:42] <bronlar> now i use  geforce fx 5700 le 256 mb casrd
[06:42] <zus> um i want to try ati radeon 5800 series.... never had anything other than nvidia
[06:43] <zus> http://ubuntuguide.net/envyng-a-tool-to-easily-install-nvidiaati-video-driver-on-ubuntu
[06:44] <zus> i hope this helps some
[06:44] <well_laid_lawn> !envyng
[06:44] <well_laid_lawn> !nvidia
[06:44] <zus> i dont trully know, but its where i was looking when my card was mucking up
[06:45] <zus> im glad  people jump outta the wood work and pull off the amazing ubottu move....
[06:46] <zus> guess envyng would not have been a good idea
[06:46] <zus> :)
[06:47] <well_laid_lawn> it's best to try the established practises first imo
[06:48] <zus> between the ubotu move and the  bios idea i might throw in my card in tomorrow
[06:49] <noaXess> i get this error, if i login int my kde session: http://imagebin.ca/view/TQGPHs9N.html
[06:49] <noaXess> what package do i need to install?
[06:50] <zus> how can i tell what video car is on the motherboard?
[06:51] <zus> nvm
[06:51] <well_laid_lawn> noaXess: try in konsole   apt-cache search virtuoso
[06:51] <zus> will lspci | grep VGA do it
[06:51] <well_laid_lawn> yep
[06:52] <noaXess> well_laid_lawn: now, which one from that list? http://paste.ubuntu.com/440706/
[06:53] <zus> well i was hoping it would say how many memory it had.
[06:54] <well_laid_lawn> noaXess: virtuoso-server - since the error said it needed the rdf server this is the closest
[06:54] <noaXess> well_laid_lawn: ok.. wil try that.. later.. breakfast time :)
[06:54] <noaXess> bbl
[06:54] <well_laid_lawn> k
[06:58] <zus> ok after i got to edit>prefrences>applications and scroll to TORREMT file and click other program ...how can i select  the actual  program it just opens the program itself
[07:05] <FisherPrice70> I'm having difficulties with my kde open compositing.... it was working yesterday but now it won't work
[07:06] <FisherPrice70> I don't think I've done anything out of the ordinary
[07:06] <FisherPrice70> glxinfo | grep -i opengl
[07:06] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
[07:06] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9400 GT/PCI/SSE2
[07:06] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL version string: 3.2.0 NVIDIA 195.36.15
[07:06] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL shading language version string: 1.50 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
[07:06] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL extensions:
[07:06] <FloodBotK2> FisherPrice70: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:07] <FisherPrice70> any ideas how to fix it?
[07:08] <FisherPrice70> I can play OpenGL games, but cannot enable desktop effects
[07:08] <FisherPrice70> I get the error "Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.  Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type."
[07:08] <bronlar> drop down the box next to torrent and click use and then yer program or use other program, and i cant find any envy in apt-get and i have universe and multiverse enabled and updated my sources
[07:09] <zus> bronlar,  i didnt see ktorrent in there
[07:09] <bronlar> clck use other program and it wil proly make u navigate to the bin
[07:10] <bronlar> but i canot find envy either
[07:10] <bronlar> not even with envy*
[07:12] <FisherPrice70> hrm, it looks like it's only a problem with certain effects... like wobbly windows and cube
[07:13] <zus> bronlar,  is bin where the actualy program is like the .exe in /c: on windows
[07:13] <bronlar> yup
[07:13] <bronlar> usually in usr/bin
[07:13] <zus> aye i think i found it
[07:14] <bronlar> eexcellent select use and its bin the aply yer changes and try yer ste again
[07:15] <zus> let me see what i can find here for the  video card
[07:15] <bronlar> ok
[07:15] <well_laid_lawn> zus: sudo lshw will tell you more about it
[07:15] <bronlar> envy isnt in my apt-get sources
[07:16] <well_laid_lawn> bronlar: which kubuntu version are you using?
[07:17] <well_laid_lawn> and it is envyng
[07:18] <bronlar> i cant find envyng
[07:18] <bronlar> its not in my apt-ge sources
[07:18] <bronlar> im usung kubuntu 10.04
[07:18] <well_laid_lawn> !repos | bronlar
[07:19] <well_laid_lawn> you need to enable the universe repo
[07:19] <bazhang> !find envyng
[07:20] <bazhang> no need for it with that card
[07:20] <well_laid_lawn> I gave the nvidia link
[07:20] <bazhang> the hardware drivers should do it
[07:20] <well_laid_lawn> !info envyng-gtk
[07:21] <well_laid_lawn> the bot link must be wrong then
[07:22] <well_laid_lawn> !envyng
[07:22] <bronlar> the envy site says to use jockey instead envy isbnt upported as of 10.04
[07:22] <bazhang> nope
[07:22] <bazhang> not in lucid anymore
[07:22] <well_laid_lawn> there you go then - use the hardware drivers kubuntu makes available bronlar
[07:23] <well_laid_lawn> !nvidia
[07:24] <FisherPrice70> I can get compositing working using XRender, but not OpenGL, which is REALLY odd
[07:24] <bronlar> i use kde not gtk
[07:31] <well_laid_lawn> bronlar: follow this - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html - where it says gksu use kdesu and where it says gedit use kate and where it says gdm use kdm
[07:33] <zus> bronlar thanks that sorted me out. now to sus out why i only get half a display when i search  within ktorrent in either window or full screen
[07:39] <FisherPrice70> brb
[07:41] <FisherPrice70> back
[07:42] <FisherPrice70> Thanks everyone... I had to re-install the package kde-window-manager
[07:42] <FisherPrice70> it's working now
[07:53] <well_laid_lawn> that's surprising - how did you find that out FisherPrice70 ?
[08:06] <bronlar> http://blog.shevin.info/2007/04/dont-panic-if-you-broke-graphic-in.html
[08:07] <bronlar> chek out that link for a fox to nvidia low resolution error
[08:07] <bronlar> brb gotta reboot
[08:30] <bronlar> back my nvidia display is fixed
[08:30]  * zus waves at bronlar 
[08:31] <well_laid_lawn> bronlar: well done mate
[08:31]  * bronlar bows prodly.
[08:31] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[08:32] <bronlar> the link i posted b4 my reboot lists how to fix the lost and low res display probs with ati/nvidia cards fteer ctivatng the restricted driver
[08:32] <bronlar> anyone need me to repost the link??
[08:33] <well_laid_lawn> I would have thought the modules ubuntu geek said to blacklist would have solved that?
[08:33] <bronlar> http://blog.shevin.info/2007/04/dont-panic-if-you-broke-graphic-in.html
[08:34] <bronlar> edescribes what to change in yer monitor section of yer xorg.conf
[08:34] <well_laid_lawn> ohh
[08:34] <well_laid_lawn> or
[08:34] <well_laid_lawn> o
[08:34] <bronlar> nope i edited my xorg.conf and changed my monitors horiz and veert refrssh rate variabbles
[08:34] <bronlar> look at the solution =) it does work
[08:35] <well_laid_lawn> I don't do nvidia atm :]
[08:35] <bronlar> now my nvidia driver re adjustig util provdes me my full list of available reslutions i can change to
[08:35] <well_laid_lawn> woot!
[08:36] <bronlar> but my monitor is only capable of 1024x768 supposedly but im gnna test that
[08:36] <bronlar> tis an old 14" multisync crt
[08:36] <bronlar> a viewsoni 6
[08:36] <bronlar> viewsonic*
[08:40] <well_laid_lawn> don't blow it up! heh
[08:47] <ussher> I've screwed something up. I installed tomcat6 though 'sudo apt-get' and it was working.  then followed some directions online to try to allow 'tomcat' user to have write permissions to a diretory.  that failed an tomcat wouldnt start.  I purged, re-installed and now cant start again.... what does "sh: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory" mean?
[08:48] <ussher> it appears in apt-get output and also when trying to start tomcat6
[08:49] <well_laid_lawn> cwd is   current working dir
[08:50] <ussher> would that generally be made by apt, or did i remove it when trying to get rid of tomcat6 maybe?  purging didnt work totally so i removed all the tomcat directories i could find.
[08:51] <bronlar> i wont blow it up if i set it too high it will revert after 15s
[08:52] <well_laid_lawn> ussher: were you in your home dir when running the  purge?
[08:53] <ussher> could have been, didnt take much notice.
[08:54] <ussher> well_laid_lawn: yes i was
[08:55] <well_laid_lawn> ussher: getcwd() will be a function that is called during the removal - it must not be written right for your system
[08:55] <ussher> thanks well_laid_lawn.  Ill try doing an install of tomcat6 without using apt-get and see if i can get it to go that way.  cheers
[08:55] <well_laid_lawn> ussher: tried removing the user "tomcat" ?
[08:57] <Hamra> so aptitude says it wants to upgrade libc6 on Lucid....
[08:58] <Hamra> isn't that package NOT supposed to be upgraded after a release? or am i missing something?
[08:59] <well_laid_lawn> there might be a bug in it or it doesn't agree with something or...
[09:00] <bazhang> Hamra, updates today?
[09:00] <bronlar> laters all
[09:00] <ussher> well_laid_lawn: that did something.  sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start gets the OK for starting now.  but with the extra line of "start-stop-daemon: user 'tomcat6' not found"
[09:00] <Hamra> the update has been on hold for me since Wed, 19 May 2010
[09:00] <Hamra> i am checking the changelog, it seems to be 2 security updates to it
[09:01] <well_laid_lawn> ussher: the purge and reinstall will now recreate it with the defualts for user tomcat
[09:01] <bazhang> Hamra, I seem to recall gettting that a day or so ago as well
[09:01] <Hamra> i just dont want to break my system. first nvidia breaks it, then a kernel upgrade breaks it... and now it's asking to upgrade libc6, i'm kinda scared to approve upgrades anymore ;P
[09:02] <Hamra> but it seems the general libc6 version won't change, so i'll assume that's safe....
[09:04] <ussher> well_laid_lawn: purged then reinstalled but still "start-stop-daemon: user 'tomcat6' not found"
[09:05] <well_laid_lawn> ussher: I was sure it would have created the user tomcat like the initial install did
[09:05] <ussher> my fault for copying and pasting stuff from stackoverflow without thinking.  sorry for wasting your time
[09:06] <well_laid_lawn> ussher: man useradd
[09:06] <well_laid_lawn> np :]
[09:12] <zus> gnight all
[09:38] <Adityab> Did someone package the 4.5 beta?
[09:40] <alexbobP> hey, is there any way to do an alternate install from a usb flash drive?
[09:40] <alexbobP> unetbootin seems to work great for the livecd, but not so much for the alternate cd
[09:40] <alexbobP> and I need to install with full disk encryption
[10:02] <ussher> well_laid_lawn: got it going :)  purged it from the repos and downloaded from apache.org then ran it in my home dir.  Thanks very much for your help.
[10:02] <well_laid_lawn> np uss :]
[10:02] <well_laid_lawn> he's gone ...
[10:03] <tasslehoff> When I plug an sd-card the partitions aren't mounted until I visit them in Dolphin. This is kinda suboptimal when I want to use the terminal. Any way to fix this?
[10:03] <well_laid_lawn> mount them manually maybe
[10:04] <Adityab> Who maintains/writes for the kubuntu website here?
[10:04] <well_laid_lawn> Adityab: prob noone here
[10:04] <well_laid_lawn> is noone hyphenated?
[10:05] <Adityab> well_laid_lawn: I hope someone would change the old "crystal" kubuntu in the top-left corner of the site to the new one
[10:05] <Adityab> *logo
[10:06] <well_laid_lawn> Adityab: they're prob busy doing other stuff atm - it will be done eventually I guess :]
[10:06] <well_laid_lawn> there's a lts recently out
[10:07] <Adityab> well_laid_lawn: Any idea if the 4.5 beta has been packaged yet? I don't want to waste time compiling from trunk
[10:08] <well_laid_lawn> I wouldn't know - checked the ppa?
[10:08] <well_laid_lawn> !ppa
[10:10] <Adityab> hmm, the kde45 ppa isn't out yet
[10:12] <rabby> although the nvidia drivers are setup successfully, i have a buggy display view :-( screenshot: http://tiny.cc/ubug-png
[10:12] <well_laid_lawn> there you go then
[10:13] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: tried - ollow this - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[10:14] <well_laid_lawn> ignore the ollow this -
[10:14] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[10:14] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: refering to the desktop manager, the nvidia driver is in use with success already incl. 3d accel...
[10:15] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: that link gives some modules to blacklist that "might" help your issue
[10:19] <rabby> ok, thanks. i'll try with this blacklist...
[10:24] <dst_> hi there
[10:26] <well_laid_lawn> !hi
[10:27] <dst_> got the following problem with my new kubuntu installation (10.04): cdrom can only be mounted with sudo on console - mounting usb-sticks is no problem and can be done as normal user (is shown in taskbar)
[10:27] <dst_> any hints?
[10:28] <well_laid_lawn> dst_: there should be a line in the file   /etc/fstab   that mounts the cdrom at boot - is it there?
[10:28] <dst_> let me see
[10:29] <well_laid_lawn> dst_: ignore that sorry
[10:30] <well_laid_lawn> dst_: oops no i was right first go - here it is    /dev/hdd        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[10:30] <dst_> no there is no line for cdrom only for floppy
[10:31] <well_laid_lawn> dst_: add the line I posted - do you know how?
[10:31] <well_laid_lawn> dst_: but use the right /dev for the cdrom
[10:33] <dst_> mounting as root says /dev/sr0
[10:33] <dst_> when i mount /dec/cdrom
[10:33] <dst_> so must be sr0
[10:34] <well_laid_lawn> sounds right
[10:34] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: blacklisting did not solve the graphics issue.
[10:35] <dst_> made a mountpoint /media/cdrom so it must be this one
[10:35] <pltoo> are KDE 4.5 beta1 packages available?
[10:35] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: sorry it didn't work for you - that's the limit of my nvidia knowledge apart from
[10:35] <well_laid_lawn> !nvidia
[10:36] <well_laid_lawn> pltoo: nope - not on the ppa yet apparently
[10:36] <well_laid_lawn> !ppa
[10:36] <dst_> well_laid_lawn: why noauto?
[10:36] <well_laid_lawn> dst_: no idea - it is how my system came
[10:37] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: i am not sure if it is because of the nvidia card. when scrolling down and back again, the font is readable. going on with scrolling, it is broken again etc.
[10:37] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: might be the monitor refresh rate then
[10:38] <Adityab> rabby: It is because of nVidia
[10:38] <Adityab> rabby: Doesn't happen on Intel chipsets AFAIK
[10:39] <Adityab> rabby: And are you using compiz? This almost *always* happens with using Qt/KDE apps with Compiz
[10:39] <dst_> well_laid_lawn: thanks a lot! will reboot and test this
[10:39] <well_laid_lawn> Adityab: yet other nvidia users don't have the issue so pls be careful with comments :]
[10:39] <well_laid_lawn> dst_: luck
[10:40] <rabby> well_laid_lawn: how to see the current refresh rate setting? i have 2 ubuntu systems running on the same monitor. both with nvidia. one works properly - the other not. so maybe i can compare the refresh rate.
[10:40] <well_laid_lawn> but the compositing issue might be valid
[10:40] <Adityab> well_laid_lawn: Do you have nVidia? If so, then proably you're lucky, because all people in my hostel have the same issue :)
[10:41] <Adityab> well_laid_lawn: At least it happens with older drivers
[10:41] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: if they are not defined in your xorg.conf file then in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:42] <well_laid_lawn> Adityab: it is not a common complaint here from what I've seen mate :]
[10:42] <well_laid_lawn> so must be a setting choice somewhere
[10:43] <Adityab> well_laid_lawn, rabby: Here- your problem http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=132476
[10:43] <well_laid_lawn> Adityab: I use intel here :]
[10:43] <Adityab> well_laid_lawn: Okay, for rabby then :)
[10:44] <well_laid_lawn> heh :]
[10:44] <well_laid_lawn> it's a slow web page...
[10:44] <jj_> You can see and change you current refresh with xrandr btw
[10:44] <Adityab> well_laid_lawn: Yes, flash ads
[10:44] <jj_> and also resolution
[10:44] <well_laid_lawn> I gave up
[10:45] <well_laid_lawn> rabby: see jj_ 's comment above too

[12:48] <well_laid_lawn> DT[AtWork]: do they show in   lspci?
[12:49] <DT[AtWork]> ummm...gimmie a minute or three. i kinda forgot about that. what is the sytax again? just type that in to konsole?
[12:49] <well_laid_lawn> DT[AtWork]: yep just type   lspci
[12:50] <DT[AtWork]> k, on minute
[12:50] <DT[AtWork]> one*
[12:53] <DT[AtWork]> also: is there a way to disable the instalation setup up screen? essentially i have a live disk on USB with persistant settings
[12:54] <well_laid_lawn> !remaster
[12:54] <DT[AtWork]> ok will look in to those
[12:56] <DT[AtWork]> ok, i do have an ethernet controller: nVidia corp MCP77 Ethernet (rev a2)
[12:58] <DT[AtWork]> and then i have my wireless in there too. Atheros AR5001
[12:58] <well_laid_lawn> next see what   ifconfig   returns
[13:02] <DT[AtWork]> i've got an assortment of config tools, wireless, vlan and net-tools included
[13:04] <DT[AtWork]> nvm, i can't read
[13:04] <DT[AtWork]> i typer iconfig not ifconfig
[13:04] <well_laid_lawn> heh  :]
[13:05] <DT[AtWork]> eth0 and wlan0 are there
[13:05] <DT[AtWork]> nothers have ever done anything, both are "UP BROADCAST MULTICAST"
[13:06] <DT[AtWork]> everything is the same except for the hard ware address
[13:06] <well_laid_lawn> does eth0 have an ip address?
[13:06] <DT[AtWork]> no
[13:07] <well_laid_lawn> in the file   /etc/network/interfaces   is there a line   auto eth0   ?
[13:08] <DT[AtWork]> no
[13:08] <DT[AtWork]> just "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback"
[13:08] <well_laid_lawn> do you know how to add it?
[13:08] <DT[AtWork]> type it in under kate?
[13:09] <well_laid_lawn> kdesu kate
[13:09] <DT[AtWork]> seems i don't have kdesu? o.O
[13:10] <well_laid_lawn> ahh this is live cd isn't it?
[13:10] <DT[AtWork]> yeah
[13:10] <DT[AtWork]> will sudo -i then the normal command do the trick?
[13:10] <DT[AtWork]> nvm it won't
[13:11] <well_laid_lawn> try it and see - i know nothing about persistant live cd installs
[13:11] <well_laid_lawn> try sudo kate
[13:11] <jussi> kdesudo
[13:12] <well_laid_lawn> jussi: DT[AtWork]> seems i don't have kdesu? o.O - persistant live cd install there
[13:12] <well_laid_lawn> oops
[13:12] <jussi> well_laid_lawn: do you have kdesudo ;I)
[13:12] <well_laid_lawn> DT[AtWork]: it is kdesudo now
[13:12] <well_laid_lawn> my bad
[13:12] <DT[AtWork]> yes i do
[13:13] <DT[AtWork]> so just add 'auto eth0' and 'auto wlan0' to the end of the file?
[13:13] <well_laid_lawn> DT[AtWork]: kdesudo kate   then ;]
[13:13] <well_laid_lawn> thnx juss
[13:13] <well_laid_lawn> thnx jussi
[13:13] <jussi> no probs :)
[13:14] <well_laid_lawn> DT[AtWork]: I've never done wifi but it sounds right - then restart the network
[13:14] <DT[AtWork]> oops...i restarted the whole thing >.>;;
[13:15] <DT[AtWork]> after it boots i gotta run, boss won't take "i was making my uber l33t linux boxen connect to teh intarwebz" as an excuse
[13:16] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[13:17] <DT[AtWork]> it rewrote the file on reboot :/
[13:18] <DT[AtWork]> oh well, fight with it later, thanks for the help so far
[13:18]  * DT[AtWork] might need that remaser thingy to do it *shrugs*
[13:48] <sheldon> is there a repository for kde 4.4.80 packages for lucid?
[13:49] <well_laid_lawn> !ppa
[13:49] <well_laid_lawn> might be in there sheldon
[13:50] <sheldon> well_laid_lawn, i think sould be updated on kubuntu beta backports ppa
[13:50] <well_laid_lawn> !backports
[13:51] <well_laid_lawn> sheldon: that ppa should be in the link above on launchpad
[13:52] <sheldon> well_laid_lawn, take a look here https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/Packaging
[13:52] <sheldon> it says ppa uploaded but it isnt
[13:53] <sheldon> mmm ok
[13:53] <sheldon> kubuntu ninjas ppa

[13:54] <well_laid_lawn> I don't bother with ppa's here tho
[13:55] <mofux> hi, after upgrade to lucid lynx my nvidia geforce 9500 gt does not support compositing any more...
[13:55] <mofux> any clues?
[13:55] <mofux> or known issues
[13:57] <well_laid_lawn> !nvidia | mofux
[13:59] <well_laid_lawn> mofux: or try   http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[13:59] <mofux> well_laid_lawn: thanks, looking at them
[13:59] <well_laid_lawn> np :]]
[14:09] <zus> my desktop is ugly i see all these tutorials  on the cube and everyone has cool looking  widgets and plasmoids....
[14:18] <mofux> well_laid_lawn: it worked! got my compositing back
[14:18] <mofux> thanks alot
[14:18] <mofux> (used the second guide)
[14:18] <well_laid_lawn> happy for you mofux :]
[14:22] <mofux> just another question... are there packages for kde 4.5 beta 1 available?
[14:29] <zegenie> mofux: not yet.
[14:30] <mofux> ok
[14:31] <zus> is there a program to mount iso  like magic disc or power iso from windows?
[14:33] <bazhang> !info kiso
[14:34] <bazhang> gmountiso for gnome I know of, not sure about kde
[14:35] <zus> hey bazhang ... so if i down loaded an iso i can mount it and not have to burn to a disc?
[14:36] <bazhang> zus, what are you trying to do? you can use the loopback option as well
[14:36] <bazhang> !iso
[14:37] <Newboy> hi
[14:37] <bazhang> zus, if its a video iso vlc can view it
[14:38] <zus> well, when i ran reason my  friend had only the iso and we used magic disc to  create a virtual drive and i was able to use the program....
[14:38] <zus> can i use magic disc in wine and run the iso
[14:38] <bazhang> you can certainly try, though there may be better ways to do it without wine
[14:39] <bazhang> check the appdb and ask in #wineheq if that is what you wish to do
[14:39] <bazhang> !appdb
[14:39] <jj_> you can just mount the iso file
[14:39] <jj_> as ubottu said before ^^
[14:39] <zus> i dont think reason is cross platform though...
[14:40] <jj_> mount the iso and then use wine
[14:42] <jj_> !windows | zus
[14:43] <zus> http://www.propellerheads.se/download/
[14:43] <jj_> maybe that was not very usefull:)
[14:44] <bazhang> perhaps wine then
[14:45] <zus> thanks, would something like this work in a virtualbox with winxp?
[14:45] <jj_> sure
[14:45] <bazhang> likely yes
[14:46] <bazhang> get the one with usb though if you need that
[14:46] <zus> lmms is kinda too 8 bit for me, i dont mind it but it's not my cup of tea
[14:46] <zus> i've never used a virtual box what do you mean with the usb?
[14:47] <jj_> virtual box usually works just fine with usb
[14:47] <jj_> you can just "forward" your usb to it
[14:47] <jj_> maybe not with the open source version
[14:48] <jj_> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[14:49] <zus> i did that one last night actually i have yet to get into it
[14:50] <zus> here goes...
[14:50] <zus> ill let youse know if it works
[14:50] <bazhang> vbox-ose has no usb support
[14:52] <zus> i got oracle vm virtual box
[14:52] <bazhang> yes, that has usb
[14:56] <zus> jj_,  bazhang  thanks - i be back in a few
[14:56] <bazhang> zus, ok

[16:16] <DarthFrog> Man, it's been a long time since I've seen Xaw. :-)
[16:17] <la_poisse> How do I find the port used by the printer (e.g ttyS0 or ttyS1)?
[16:19] <DarthFrog> la_poisse: Is it a USB or parallel printer?

[16:21] <DarthFrog> la_poisse: I just realised I forgot the answer! :-(  Sorry.  But it'll be a USB device port.
[16:23] <eBUG> everytime I reboot the display goes back to highest resolution :-(

[16:24] <eBUG> cool ! Will look
[16:24] <la_poisse> DarthFrog : In mesg i get usblp0. How  can I associate a raw printer? (port)
[16:24] <grio___> maybe someone know something better than XMAN? :)
[16:24] <DarthFrog> la_poisse: What's your end goal?
[16:25] <la_poisse> DarthFrog: print with  a samba printer but with the windows driver
[16:25] <DarthFrog> grio___: What's wrong with xman?
[16:26] <DarthFrog> la_poisse: Ah, it's been a very long time since I've had to do that.
[16:27] <la_poisse> DarthFrog: You re so lucky....
[16:27] <DarthFrog> la_poisse: Are you sure you need the Windows driver?
[16:28] <la_poisse> DarthFrog: I m positive. No other choice. I don t have a good enought driver on linux
[16:29] <la_poisse> DarthFrog: And I m tented to say "again"
[16:30] <nonickname2> grio___: you could try man:<application> in dolphin/konqueror or use the list of man pages in kde's help center

[16:36] <spirov92> hi, I interupted a package install halfway through because I saw disk space is low on my root partition, is there a way to remove it?
[16:37] <nonickname2> :) - you can search in (usual?) man page viewers though - try pressing h for keyboard shortcuts
[16:37] <spirov92> when I try to run any apt-get command, it gives me this: E: The package guitarpro6 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[16:38] <nonickname2> (it's using "less" in this case)
[16:38] <DarthFrog> spirov92: Try this: "sudo apt-get remove --purge guitarpro6"
[16:38] <la_poisse> DarthFrog: A bit overkill to me. for the moment I have only one PC under windows. And the problem is on the cups configuration because i get the job but it never realized
[16:38]  * Gostt is away: Estou ocupado
[16:39] <spirov92> DarthFrog: still the same error
[16:39] <spirov92> I guess I could just free some space and reinstall it :)
[16:39] <DarthFrog> spirov92: Did you install it via apt?  or as a local deb file with dpkg?
[16:40] <spirov92> DarthFrog: I just clicked it on the desktop...don't know what that uses
[16:41] <zus> sho how would i uninstall a virtual os then?
[16:41] <DarthFrog> spirov92: How did it get on your desktop?
[16:41] <spirov92> DarthFrog: I downloaded it from the site :)
[16:42] <DarthFrog> spirov92: Then free up some space and re-install it. :-)
[16:42] <ch3mtail> NetworkManager takes forever (and usually just fails) to connect to WPA-secured access points.  Is this a known issue?
[16:44] <spirov92> hmm...how do I reinstall the .deb by command-line? the gui way seems to fail
[16:45] <DarthFrog> spirov92: "cd Desktop && sudo dpkg -i <complete deb filename>"
[16:46] <spirov92> DarthFrog: thanks, it works
[16:48] <spirov92> damn, this package is large...~370 MB
[16:49] <oxymoron> KDE 4.5 Beta 1, is that available somewhere?
[16:50] <zus> if i got the 32bit virtualbox i can not run any 64bit os in it correct?
[16:55] <Torch> zus: yes, you can not
[16:55] <DarthFrog> zus: Correct.
[16:55] <DarthFrog> zus:  But you can run a 32bit OS on 64 bit VirtualBox.
[16:57] <zus> hmm
[17:05] <spirov92> hey, does anyone use kguitar? seems nice, but it's a KDE 3 package :/

[18:13] <Hazamonzo> Damn. The perfomance of my desktop is terrible since i installed kubuntu 10.04 with this new ATI graphics card... Could this performance issue be down to JUST the graphics card alone? The desktop worked beautifully on 9.10 with my old Nvidia card :s
[18:13] <Hazamonzo> The whole thing is just so laggy. Moving from window to window. Refresh that is
[18:14] <Hazamonzo> its just ... nasty
[18:14] <putt1ck> graphics card driver in use?
[18:15] <Hazamonzo> putt1ck: I've tried both buddy. They both have problems :(
[18:15] <Hazamonzo> the radeon and frglx (i think thats right)
[18:18] <Hazamonzo> Think i might just cut my losses and buy a new nvidia card

[20:07] <Guest36445> i need some help
[20:08] <Guest36445> im new to kuduntu plzhelp
[20:08] <ubuntu_> Guest36445: so am I
[20:10] <nonickname2> no help without question ;)
[20:10] <ubuntu_> Guest36445: I'm testing the Kubuntu 10.04 KDE 3 remix live CD
[20:11] <ubuntu_> oh
[20:12] <ubuntu_> I've a new HD what partition should I create for a new install of Kubuntu?
[20:12] <ubuntu_> *partions*
[20:18] <zus> ubuntu_, are you asking for sizing?
[20:19] <ubuntu_> yes, how many partitions and their sizes
[20:21] <ubuntu_> maybe a 20 GB partiton for the OS and the rest of the drive for home?
[20:22] <InvaderZim> Which command does the Kde Shutdown button performs? I know it's not shutdown -h now or poweroff.
[20:29] <zus> ubuntu_,  8 is good but about 15 gigs for root comfortably, and personally i have yet  to fill that up and i have tons of stuff to try out what i like
[20:31] <zus> ubuntu_,  the swap is always up for debate... i have 2 gigs so i made 1 gig for swap. i dont even use hibernate or sleep. my pc is on or off. and home go for  as much as you can if you're like me and download and right click save as everything cool on the net :)
[20:32] <zus> i just reinstalled kubuntu  with a 20 gig partition so i can grab the virtualbox... why havent i done that b4 i dont know
[20:34] <ubuntu_> zus: thanks for the info :)
[20:34] <ubuntu_> and the reminder about swap :/
[20:34] <zus> ubuntu_,  thats my own personal adventure mind you
[20:35] <zus> there are much better documentation out there but i still awake 48hours  when i began the fresh install and mucking about
[20:35] <ubuntu_> lol
[20:36] <ubuntu_> my last 2 or 3 re-installs only took about 20 minutes each, followed by several days of tweaking the settings and installing all the extra bits
[20:36] <zus> my home  was part of ubuntu karic install i deleted the root part and kept the home but when i moved the empty space over, i lost EVERYTHING
[20:37] <ubuntu_> did you have a backup??
[20:37] <zus> yeah a few minute to alocate partiitons and 20 min for the install...
[20:37] <zus> that was my back up
[20:38] <zus> but then throw in dinner, my tv shows. interents and the googles
[20:38] <zus> = 48 lol  another 16 i might get them micro naps from nightmare on elmstreet
[20:39] <zus> i cant for the life of me figure out why ktorrent isnt letting more than 3 downloads at a time...even though i set it to unlimited....
[20:41]  * ubuntu_ installs Kubuntu
[20:43] <zus> does any one know what could be wrong with my ktorrent?
[20:47] <gorgonizer> zus: what version of ktorrent are you using?
[20:48] <zus> gorgonizer,  3.3.4
[20:50] <gorgonizer> zus: did you set the download speed to unlimited, or the Maximum Downloads settings to No Limit?
[20:51] <zus> gorgonizer,  mmm i didnt realize there was a diference.. till just now.
[20:52] <zus> gorgonizer,  the maximum download speed is no limit
[20:52] <gorgonizer> zus: in ktorrent settings is there a queue manager section?
[20:52] <zus> the maximum downloads also is at no limit
[20:53] <Flakeparadigm> (Lucid) In google chrome, if I use flash that has audio, it works but from that point on no audio except for flash in google chrome works. Any idea on what's up? I can't find anything online
[20:54] <gorgonizer> connection limit options zus: okay, can you check the maximum connections per torrent and the global (should be in the network section)
[20:54] <zus> gorgonizer,  yeah in the queue settings the first opition was no limit
[20:54] <gorgonizer>  zus: okay, can you check the maximum connections per torrent and the global connection limit options (should be in the network section)
[20:55] <zus> gorgonizer,  looking for  the global setting
[20:55] <zus> gorgonizer,  its at 900
[20:56] <zus> max connection per torrent is 120
[20:57] <smithjd> is there a channel for xorg-edgers?
[20:57] <gorgonizer> zus, so if you only have 3 downloading. then you should have plenty of connections left over... are you uploading any torrents at the moment?
[20:58] <zus> gorgonizer,  well i had 4 torrents but one was stalled till  one just finished...
[20:58] <douglas> is this #ubuntu?
[20:58] <zus> dougl,  its #kubuntu
[20:58] <zus> douglas, ^
[20:59] <douglas> oh crud
[20:59] <gorgonizer> zus: can you set the Maximum Downloads in Queue Manager to something like 20, rather than No Limit, as it does appear that there is still something limiting ktorrent..
[20:59] <douglas> how do i get to #ubuntu?
[20:59] <zus> douglas,  /join #ubuntu
[21:01] <zus> gorgonizer,   when i had 8 downloads  as one finished the other began... i had to  stop seeding a  frew files to figure that out
[21:03] <gorgonizer> zus: in total (both uploads and downloads) how many torrents are running in KTorrent
[21:03] <gorgonizer> as it may be that the 900 Global Connection Limit is too low for the the torrents you are accessing..
[21:03] <zus> im not uploading anything i got  one file seeding and 2 downloading one stalled
[21:04] <zus> the stalled one  is a t o/o seeds/leech so thats  prolly why its stalled. but ive been chasing this  all day
[21:06] <zus> gorgonizer,  by uploading you dont mean the  "upspeed"?
[21:06] <gorgonizer> zus: that would explain why that is stalled... your settings are very similar to what I have (and had in ktorrent 3.3.4) so I find this a bit weird..
[21:06] <gorgonizer> zus: by uploading I am referring tot he torrents that are seeding...
[21:08] <zus> im calling this  stalled one a no go its not doing anything wich leaves me with  2 down 1 up
[21:09] <gorgonizer> zus: can you restart ktorrent then try adding more torrents to ktorrent, to see if the problem still occurs?
[21:10] <zus> gorgonizer,  i've restarted a few times before, some of the previously stalled torrents  have begun downloading only after i did
[21:11] <gorgonizer> zus: I get that issue sometimes.. though not as much with ktorrent 4
[21:12] <zus> as for adding more torrents. i've got what i want there isnt anything  i'd like to get right now
[21:13] <zus> how can upgrade to ktorent 4?
[21:14] <gorgonizer> zus: okay, it would seem that your ktorrent is correctly configured to download more that 3 torrents, though if you set No Limit on the number of torrent downloads, you may wish to up the Global Connection Limit value..
[21:15] <zus> yeah i just dont want a cap on how many dl's and ups i can do everything else i leave default cuz i dont know
[21:16] <zus> i will check out if its been filed as a bug. or something...if its just me  i can be pebkac...
[21:16] <gorgonizer> zus: I have 2 housemates using the same connection, so I have to limit my ktorrent, unfortunately..
[21:17] <zus> though even my pirate bay  search within ktorrent  only half of it appears
[21:17] <zus> yeah there is 3 peopl on the net here but not  during the work day so i have to be done by 5
[21:18] <zus> i got s 33 minutes left on  one file and s 1 day on another
[21:18] <gorgonizer> zus: that piratebay issue appears solveed in ktorrent4.0rc1
[21:19] <Razion> Anyone know how to open a terminal in 10.04? :P
[21:19] <zus> what was causing it? at first i thought it was just my old pc  being graphically challenged
[21:20] <zus> Razion,  alt-f2 then type konsole
[21:20] <gorgonizer> zus: I am unsure to be honest, I rarely use piratebay any more :)
[21:21] <Razion> Zus: THANKS!
[21:21] <zus> Razion,  menu>aplication>settings
[21:21] <zus> Razion,  welcome
[21:21] <zus> gorgonizer, everything i can imagine is in there.
[21:23] <zus> i just finnally stopped and looked at the stalled file
[21:24] <zus> it was mint9  haha
[21:26] <nebula> help
[21:26] <nebula> inUtileBar
[21:26] <nebula> kubuntu 10.04
[21:28] <zus> gorgonizer,  thank you  by the way
[21:28] <gorgonizer> zus: no problem, glad to help when I can..
[21:29] <zus> ive been using ktorrent since i began using linux and this was unlike ktorrent.
[21:30] <zus> gorgonizer,  that also was only 7 months ago
[21:30] <gorgonizer> zus: same here though for me I moved to Linux about 4 years ago, though not experienced a problem like before with ktorrent though
[21:33] <zus> i tried to use bit tornado
[21:34] <zus> i couldnt get to download anything with it seems like it wants me to make a file to upload first
[21:34] <zus> there isnt anyone in the channel either my question is still there from this am
[21:34] <gorgonizer> zus: never used anything else to be honest, for torrents anyway..
[21:35] <zus> i agree
[21:54] <deepak_> Team , would like to know that what will be the best way to contribute to the team, I am an Debian mantainer and I know debian packaging ,
[21:54] <Torch> deepak_: #kubuntu-devel, maybe?
[21:54] <deepak_> Torch: Thanks much
[21:58] <Razion> Okay, so I can hear audio when I hit "test" in my sound settings in 10.04, but not in any other program. Through a USB headset, by the way. Any ideas on how to fix?

[22:02] <nasrullah1> hi
[22:03] <nasrullah1> which graphic card is well suited for kubuntu lucid
[22:04] <Torch> nasrullah1: any that wasn't made more than 5 years ago and has halfway decent driver support
[22:06] <nasrullah1> can you give me a list of hardware in order to asemble  apowerful pc  for kubuntu
[22:07] <Torch> nasrullah1: that's quite a task. ;-)
[22:08] <Torch> nasrullah1: suggestion: make a list of what you're planning to buy, post it somewhere, let people here look over it if it's okay.
[22:08] <nasrullah1> ok then thank you
[22:09] <zus> nasrullah1,  better off checking the list of compatible hardware and going from there to be safe
[22:10] <nasrullah1> ok.
[22:12] <nasrullah1> how to install rm converter in kubuntu lucid
[22:13] <nasrullah1> i did download it but i do see it in the menu??

[22:15] <Razion> Anyone know how to get K3b to burn Mp3s?
[22:15] <nasrullah1> ok sorry from medibuntu
[22:15] <Razion> Seems a little odd that it doesn't come with that functionality.
[22:17] <nasrullah1> shadeslayer...............why?
[22:17] <Razion> Anyone know how to get K3b to burn Mp3s?
[22:20] <nasrullah1> k3b does burn mp3
[22:20] <Razion> I have 10.04. It doesn't.
[22:20] <Razion> You would think it does...
[22:20] <shadeslayer> nasrullah1:  hmmm
[22:20] <nasrullah1> download k3b from the repository or kernel ..it does it
[22:21] <Razion> "Unable to handle the following files do to an unsupported format"
[22:21] <Razion> Er. *Due
[22:21] <shadeslayer> nasrullah1: its probably a command line tool
[22:21] <Razion> No...
[22:21] <Razion> I'm using the graphical K3b. Comes with Kubuntu 10.04
[22:23] <nasrullah1> ok i will check it and let you know soon
[22:23] <Razion> I've got the newest K3b, all the dependencies, and the extra codecs pack.
[22:24] <nasrullah1> re install it
[22:25] <shadeslayer> Razion: you need to install the codecs
[22:25] <Razion> I have,.
[22:25] <Razion> The apt-get name is libk3b6-extracodecs.
[22:25] <Razion> Doesn't include Mp3 decoding for some reason.
[22:25] <nasrullah1> install restricted kubuntu
[22:26] <Razion> Why the bloody hell would they put that under restricted...Lemme check real quick.
[22:29] <Razion> Nope.
[22:29] <shadeslayer> Razion: install kubuntu-restricted-extras then :)
[22:29] <Razion> Nothing under restricted.
[22:29] <Razion> o_o
[22:29] <Razion> Ahhh.
[22:29] <Razion> Well that's a stupid place to put that.

[23:33] <__-osh-__> Anyone good with RAID? I'm about to do some stupid things to one of my machines. RAID1, so I thought I'd fail the primary mirror (sda1) and work on the other. If I succeed I could just bring the primary back online again to sync them and everything will be well, right?
[23:33] <__-osh-__> But what if I screw up? How can I make sure that the machine boots on the primary and then use that to overwrite the bad (secondary) drive?
[23:36] <__-osh-__> I assume that I could boot from a rescue disc, enable the primary, fail the secondary and then boot the machine. Is that the proper procedure?
[23:38] <kerim__> hhiiii
[23:38] <kerim__> My tochpad working on login screnn
[23:39] <kerim__> but when logged after tochpad not work plase help me

[23:45] <bloodsmith> YO!!! Wondering if anyone knows how to install true type fonts into kubuntu easily
[23:46] <bloodsmith> needing a little flare for some gimp projects im trying to do, and quite frankly, im tired of messing around with the stock fonts in iwarp to make them all funny looking=
[23:46] <__-osh-__> SovereignEntity: what was the question?
[23:46] <__-osh-__> SovereignEntity: If I can see your fstab? Yes, yes I can.
[23:46] <SovereignEntity> i dont see two of my drives
[23:47] <SovereignEntity> http://paste.ubuntu.com/441079/
[23:47] <__-osh-__> SovereignEntity: Swap and /?
[23:47] <SovereignEntity> sdb1 and sda1
[23:47] <SovereignEntity> ntfs drives
[23:50] <__-osh-__> SovereignEntity: They're not in fstab. So they're not mounted anywhere. What do you mean you don't see them?
[23:51] <bloodsmith> <does the electric slide while waiting for an answer>
[23:52] <SovereignEntity> they are mounted
[23:54] <SovereignEntity> i have to type the password to mount thats why i need to edit fstab
[23:54] <sebastian> Hey guys, i got a 42" hd tv connected to the computer and im sharing the picture, and i was woundering how i can get kubuntu to transfer hd picture to the television?

[23:55] <cuk> hji
[23:55] <cuk> q tal
[23:55] <__-osh-__> SovereignEntity: So what's the question again? You don't see the disks, but they are mounted, so you do see them?
[23:56] <__-osh-__> SovereignEntity: How do you currently mount them? Manually?
[23:57] <SovereignEntity> under places i click on the drive. sorry gparted says it is not mounted
[23:58] <sebastian> Hey guys, i got a 42" hd tv connected to the computer and im sharing the picture, and i was woundering how i can get kubuntu to transfer hd picture to the television?
[23:58] <__-osh-__> SovereignEntity: So what does the command "mount" tell you?
