Barridusam i blind?  how can you change your exit messages etc in Konversation?01:37
snarkfishsystemsettings continues to crash after updating to 10.4 when i goto desktop settings01:37
snarkfishanyone else have this issue?01:37
Barridusi do snarkfish01:39
snarkfishhow do you fix this issue?01:40
snarkfishim assuming not to upgrade realeases, just do a fresh install01:40
Barridusi think it's actually an update since launch of lucid, it wasn't always that way01:41
Barridusi'm running the netbook edition of kubuntu though, i can get in to desktop settings by simply typing "desktop" into the search and launch bar01:41
Barridusi don't know if Kubuntu Desktop has something similar, i suspect it does01:42
snarkfishi type desktop in the search box on lancelot and it starts up dolphin01:42
Barridus(by that i mean i could get into desktop via system settings until recently)01:42
Barridusthere has to be a backdoor in, i'm just at a disadvantage to help since i haven't used KDE "regular" in a while01:44
snarkfishi think im just going to blow this thing away and do a fresh install.. ala windowish01:45
Barridusi don't know if thatwill help01:47
Barridusi'm running fresh, and mine also crashes going in that way01:47
Barridusi'm sure there's a simple workaround for it, i just don't know it since i'm running netbook version and the interface is different01:49

haunihi guys. got a small but annoying user problem with amarok. don't know why, but the playlist stops after every track? is this a known problem or do i just make something wrong?07:33

=== UbuntuBoy is now known as FedoraLover52
jmichaelxUbuntuBoy: i would never again buy an ipod, but i have one... i started using it just before i switched to linux.... after i switched i kept adding music, and the music i had put there using windows is still there now07:34
jmichaelxFedoraLover52: i don't think most linux users would use itunes... there definitely would not be enough who would use it that it would be worth the while for apple to go to the effort of porting it07:36
jmichaelxi certainly don't want their DRM-infested junkware on my box07:36
jmichaelxFedoraLover52: i don't know what ipod model you have, but would rockbox be an option? i use rockbox on mine, and now i can drag/drop music onto it, and can play .ogg files07:37
kuwangerFor some reason, iptables-save/iptables-restore seems to be being called automatically by something.  Any idea what might be running them?07:56
haunihm. i guess my amarok problem has to do something with the RecordStream-Skript. This script writes webradio to disk and i thought it would also at the same time play the sound but it didn't. so i just recorded and played a different song. when i stopped recording and restarted amarok the playlist would continue and work normal again.07:57

CNiblettHello, I have a BenQ Joybook A53 that unfortunately has SiS graphics. Nevertheless I have managed to get things respectable following instructions from the Ubuntu forums that are used also at ubuntugeek: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-sis-771671-mirage-3-video-drivers-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html14:12
CNiblettDesktop for my uses now works fine, but I have another problem: My Kubuntu plymouth splash is screwed up14:13
shadeslayerCNiblett: ah right14:13
CNiblettI now get a rather nasty purple screen with nastly looking text14:14
shadeslayerCNiblett: thats  because the older driver used KMS,the new drivers dont14:14
CNiblettshadeslayer: Is there a way around this?14:14
shadeslayerCNiblett: idk what to do for a SiS card,but i have instructions for a nvidia card14:14
shadeslayerCNiblett: do you know which driver is used by default for the SiS card?14:14
shadeslayerCNiblett: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml14:15
CNiblettshadeslayer: not sure but having a look at that article14:17
CNiblettshadeslayer: I'd be happy with just disabling the splash altogether just so it doesn't look ugly14:18
shadeslayerCNiblett: thats qute easy then :)14:25
shadeslayerCNiblett: just remove the ' splash ' option from /etc/default/grub14:25
CNiblettok14:26
shadeslayerCNiblett: btw youll have to edit  that file with root priviliges... and then run sudo update-grub14:26

nikitisDarthFrog: i'm telling you i had 195 working with this card iin 9.04,  I did an upgrade and now it won't install17:17
nikitisDarthFrog: i'll load an old driver17:17
nikitisi just want hardware accelleration17:17
BluesKajnikitis, you could try the nvidia-glx-173 or even the 96 , one of those might work17:18
nikitisoh god, not 9617:18
nikitisit's not that old17:18
BluesKajnvidia-glx-173 , then17:18
nikitisjust sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173  inside of tty with kdm stopped, and then nvidia-xconfig?17:18
DarthFrogThere's not going to be that much performance difference between any of them with a card that old.17:19
DarthFrognikitis: Remove nvidia-current first.17:19
nikitisi did a apt-get purge nvidia*17:19
nikitisbrb17:20
BluesKajnikitis, do sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current17:20
BluesKajgawd17:20
BluesKajpurgen nvidia probly won't do it17:20
BluesKajlunchtime ..BBL17:21
DarthFrogNo, it would be "sudo apt-get remove --purge ..."17:21

JuJuBeeI downloaded some login themes, where are they stored?  I want to distribute them to all workstations in my room.17:45
DarthFrogJuJuBee: Use the kpackagekit utilty to find out what files were installed.17:46
DarthFrogJuJuBee: If it's the deb packages you want, look in /var/cache/apt/packages.17:46
JuJuBeeI did this via SystemSettings Login Manager and got new themes.  Will kpackagekit know where they are?17:48

NailbarHey all! So I got this Mobile Broadband USB stick and it works using the Networkmanager in GNOME, but not with KNetworkManager in KDE. I get three "Object::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter" errors though I filled the exact same fields with the same info as in Networkmanager. Any ideas?18:55
shadeslayerNailbar: idk how to fix it,but you can get it to work under kde with nm-applet from gone18:58
shadeslayer*gnome18:58
shadeslayerNailbar: just press alt+F2 and type konsole > sudo killall NetworkManager > alt+f2 > nm-applet18:58
NailbarOkay thanks I'll give it a shot18:59
shadeslayerNailbar: youll have to do all of those commands quickly.. NetworkManager starts after it has been closed19:00
FlameTai1Guys I need some help lol19:04

shadeslayerFlameTai1: hmmm... meta--19:04
FlameTai1I tried that19:05
FlameTai1Not working...19:05
shadeslayerFlameTai1: and what about meta 0 ?19:05
FlameTai1There we go19:05
FlameTai1lol19:05
FlameTai1Ty19:05
FlameTai1shadeslayer: Do you know where to adjust this shortcut?19:05
shadeslayerFlameTai1: i think systemsettings > Desktop effects > All effects19:06
shadeslayerFlameTai1: btw zoom out is meta-19:07
shadeslayerFlameTai1: btw the effect is called Zoom... i have it disabled... not a really usefull effect :P19:08
FlameTai1shadeslayer: It's useful to me for going on www.iscribble.net but other wise it isn't lol19:09
shadeslayerah.. :)19:11
shadeslayerFlameTai1: you know you could just use : ctrl+scroll up in your browser :P19:11

drostieis anyone familiar with a recent regression in the 9.10 versions of kubuntu where plasmoids just randomly disappear?19:30
drostieI think it has to do with the fact that the "shut down" button stopped working in my kubuntu, so I've been using the "halt" command. So it might be a completely new and unreported bug.19:31
clarnisthello19:42
clarnisti have update kde to 4.5 annd qtcreator to version 2 and it's crashed with segmentation fault19:42
clarnistcan anybody help me?19:43
ethohello;  i have an ecryptfs directory in my home directory, and a link of ~/.kde to   ~/encrypted/.kde19:52
=== echidnaman is now known as JontheEchidna
ethonow my symbolic link got removed and replaced by an new .kde directory19:52
ethodo you know why?  is this dangerous in your opinion (the link), because of race conditions when logging in? (i don't really know if the ecryptfs is reliably mounted before the .kde directory is accessed)19:53
ethodo you have another idea, how to keep my data "private" (mostly the email stuff, and thumbnails of my image collection) (and no, to your surprise i am not talking about pr0n ;)19:54
well_laid_lawnyou could   chmod go-rw /home/you19:56
ethoi am more afraid, that somebody could steal the notebook and access the data (medical stuff...)19:57
ethoand in that case i really need to encrypt the data19:57
etho[this is not my computer, i have no problems in restoring the link, and even make enough backups so that a race condition wouldn't be a problem, but the person i am configuring the notebook for, wouldn't be able to]19:59
drostieetho: tmpfs on /tmp, symlink ~/.thumbnails or whatever it is onto a folder in /tmp, add encrypted swap for when the filesystem fills? :D19:59
drostieit's not persistent, but I'm not sure you need persistence.20:00
ethodrostie: but that would only be necessary, if the .kde link into the encrypted filesystem really is a problem20:00
drostiecorrect. probably it just depends on when the drive is unlocked.20:01
ethoassuming that the encrypted filesystem definitely is mounted before kde accesses it.  Why was my .kde symbolic link replaced?20:01
ethowhat program could that be?20:01
drostieetho: I've no real idea, but suppose we restore the symlink in /etc/rc.local. Problem solved?20:02
ethoit's probably even good enough, to do that in some user owned login file.  I will try to find out, when and how the ecryptfs is mounted20:04
ethoecryptfs is mounted using a pam module20:20
ethothe pam module forks and one thread: execl("/sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private", "mount.ecryptfs_private", NULL);20:21
ethowhereas the other waits:  waitpid(pid, &rc, 0);20:21
pingvenoDoes Kubuntu in a VM take a significant performance hit?20:21
ethowhich IMO means, that there is no way, that the ecryptfs isn't mounted completely before KDE uses it20:21
ethopingveno: i use virtualbox everyday at work20:22
ethoi noticed a difference until i gave my Virtualbox high priority (in windows)20:23
ethoi don't use any graphic effects... though20:23
pingvenoThis will be on Mac. I'm not sure if there's any difference.20:23
pingvenoAh20:23
pingvenoI will definitely be wanting the pretty graphics :P20:23
