LzyKey, is their anything like kde-core still around? I'm looking for a barebones kde installation00:17
Lzy*Hey00:17
shadeslayerLzy: kde-minimal might be of help00:18
shadeslayerthere might be even a kde-standard :P00:18
shadeslayeror something like that00:18
shadeslayeryeah kde-standard :)00:19
LzyThanks shadesslayer, i would install kubuntu as itself but somethings drains my entire battery within an hour, i'm hoping a barebones kde doesn't :(00:19
shadeslayerLzy: hmm.. idk about that,but i would suggest changing the power profile00:20
LzyThis was on xtreme powersaver :/00:20
shadeslayerLzy: how old is the battery?00:20
Lzy3 weeks00:20
shadeslayer\o/00:20
LzyI'm currently testing ubuntu with gnome and my battery will last for about 4 hours whilst playing music and web surfing00:21
LzyBut my love is with kde, so i want to have it one way or another00:21
=== shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_
shadeslayer_Lzy: hehe :P00:22
shadeslayer_dunno what will help :(00:22
LzySee what i don't understand, if this was present in all Kubuntu 10.4 installation it would be a very critical bug that would have been squashed a long time ago00:22
LzyBut by the looks of it, i'm the only one experiencing it :(00:23

LzyGot it, theirs kde-minimal (going to try this), kde-standard and kde-full.00:28
cynewaveOk - anyone here with an idea of where to go to find someone good at sound issues?00:29

LzyThis person had the same problem and it worked for him/her: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149548200:32
cynewaveFirst - Thanks. Second - Don't have pulseaudio, just HDA intel analog, then HDA digital, then Jack Audio00:33
Lzycynewave: I'm browsing various threads on this issue (quite a few people have it) theirs another solution you could try, i'm afraid i wouldn't really know how to diagnose the root cause of this00:36

Guest1350???01:04

ershadCould you help me to install a theme downloaded from kde-look.org? It's a tar.gz archive which contains a .qss and .bespin files. I'm running KDE 4.4.4.03:31
SwiftpawNew at this myself. Wish I could help. :/03:33
ershadSwiftpaw: :)03:33
ershadI couldn't find an option to install theme.03:34
SwiftpawTo be honest this is the first time I've ever used IRC althought I've chatted in games a lot. I downloaded a theme from the Ubuntu website and it worked fine even though it didn't specifically list Kubuntu compatible.03:35
SwiftpawDid it download the theme into a folder or do you not know where it is?03:36
SwiftpawUsing Konquerer or Firefox?03:36
ershadI'm using Firefox03:39
ershadand downloaded as usual, to a directory03:40
ershadI mean, to the default ~/Downloads dir03:40
SwiftpawOh, the only themes I've installed were using the Add-ons selection on the tools tab.  They have a lot of nice ones there but if you have a custom one I have no clue. Sorry. :(03:43
ershadIt's alrigt, Thank you :)03:44
ershadSwiftpaw: may be because I have not installed an application to install KDE themes?03:53
SwiftpawWhat is the main difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu?  Have to say the reason I stuck with Kubuntu was because it worked better with Youtube and Hulu.03:54
SwiftpawI didn't download anything to install my themes though, although I did download quite a few packages and it may have been in one of them.  How do you send a private message?03:57
ershadin irc ?03:57
SwiftpawYes03:57
SwiftpawI guess I mean how did you make your message to me yellow? :/03:58
Swiftpawer orange.03:58
ershadMention your name,03:58
ershadlike this : Swiftpaw03:58
SwiftpawAh, kk. Thanks.03:58
SwiftpawDo you have the basic Kubuntu install or have you downloaded other packages?03:59
ershadSwiftpaw: I did a custom install, by specifiying only the required packages04:00
ershadI running KDE in Ubuntu machine04:00
ershad10.04, to be precise04:00
Swiftpawershad Oh, I downloaded the recommended packages but I installed some more for java, flash, and video too. But that doesn't sound like it would require anything like that. :/04:02

Swiftpawafk04:02
ershadSwiftpaw: yeah,.04:02
Swiftpawershad Found this on firefox help. Not sure how it will come out but you may want to try. You are asked to download the add-on, rather than installing it04:19
SwiftpawSome websites serve add-ons as downloads, requiring you to download the file to your computer, before installing it.04:19
Swiftpaw    * These files are usually .xpi or .jar files.04:19
Swiftpaw   1. Download the file to your local computer.04:19
Swiftpaw   2. In the menu at the top of the Firefox window, click the Tools menu, and select Add-ons. The Add-ons window is displayed.04:19
FloodBotK1Swiftpaw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.04:19
Swiftpaw   3. To add the downloaded add-on to the list of available add-ons, drag and drop the file into the Add-ons window. The Add-on is added to the list.04:19
SwiftpawOops. Sorry, that was suppose to be to one person but my paste messed it up. :/04:20
ershadSwiftpaw: I would like to install KDE theme, not firefox theme04:20
Swiftpawershad Oh, didn't know KDE had themes. lol I'll have to look that up too. :)04:21

ubottubasajaun: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.14:50
sushilchalyhana8:  check in /etc/environment14:50
amichairhey BluesKaj14:50
basajaunamichair Im have java installed and it works in browser14:51
BluesKajbasajaun, dunno but the #java chat might help you14:51
lyhana8sushilcha: nothing~14:51
llutzlyhana8: /root/.profile /root/.bashrc14:51
amichairbasajaun: so what is the problem?14:52
lyhana8llutz: sushilcha after the export it work fine, I'll look at the next reboot14:53
basajaunamichait I have downloaded a java game I used to use successfully in previous version of kubuntu14:54
BluesKajbasajaun, install kubuntu-restricted-extras14:54
amichairbasajaun: are you getting an error?14:54
basajaunwhen I extract the package it contains a.jar file and a sh file which used to launch the program but nothing happens at all14:55
BluesKajok basajaun , Ill ask again do you have kubuntu-restricted-extras installed , or just jre?14:56
=== amichair is now known as amichairo
basajaunI have Jre BluesKaj  and sorry for not answering staight away14:57
BluesKajwell then basajaun install kubuntu-retricted -extras, it come with the proper web browser java plugins and java-base required14:58
BluesKajerr kubuntu-restricted-extras14:59
basajaunbut BluesKaj  the internet aspect works 100%14:59
amichairobasajaun: if you run 'java -version'  command, what version do you see?14:59
basajaunamichairo:  1.6.0_1815:00
amichairobasajaun: what does the sh script do?15:01
basajaunamichairo:   nothing15:02
amichairobasajaun: btw 1.6.0_20 is the latest... strange that you have an older one - are you sure you're updated? (in 10.04 you need the partner repository enabled for java updates)15:02
BluesKajok basajaun , have it your way15:03
basajaunamichairo:  if I check on the java web site it says I have 1.6.0_20 installed15:03
=== shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_
amichairobasajaun: maybe the plugin and command line are looking in different places... how about 'sudo update-alternatives -- config java'15:04

lummis it me or im the only one with such a bug ? -> http://i49.tinypic.com/16byfjb.png15:06
BluesKajbasajaun, check your sources.list and make sure all the deb urls aren't commented with a#15:06
BluesKajthen sudo aptitude update15:06
lummto get the normal bar back i have to enable and disable the desktop effects after each start15:07
basajaunok BluesKaj15:07
lumm(i never used those)15:07
BluesKajbasajaun, the cdrom one should be commented , otherwise apt won't look at any other repos15:09
amichairBluesKaj: maybe it would be safer to use software-properties-kde than modify sources directly?15:10
RaGNORAKlumm try manually setting your monitor resolution it helped for me15:11
BluesKajamichair, time to get the feet wet , the package manager doesn't help users learn how to edit sources IMO15:11
RaGNORAKoh and what is that win xp icon on your taskbar?15:12
amichairBluesKaj: of course not, but some users may prefer being just users and getting their system to work - the advanced ones will know to ask for more :-)15:13

srikantamichair: You there ?15:17
srikantamichair: I have one doubt and I haven't found anyone answering for that :15:18
srikantamichair: anyone who can help me in increasing the PLASMA DIGITAL CLOCK Size in the PANEL of kubuntu ???15:18
amichairsrikant: I don't see a font size setting there... maybe if you remove the date part the time gets bigger?15:19
amichairsrikant: at least how it looks on my screen, there's not much room to make it bigger (unless the whole panel is made bigger?)15:19
srikantamichair: Then how does Fedora & openSUSE are able to provide default digital clock with large size in the panel15:19
srikantamichair: provided fixed default size of the panel.15:20
amichairsrikant: I don't know what other distros do. If you compare the settings between them, I'm sure you'll be able to find what's configured differently (font, bold, maybe a different clock widget?)15:22
srikantamichair: where exactly I can find control settings of plasma widgets in kubuntu ?15:23
basajaunwell I have changed and opted for java jre open jdk was also installed15:23
amichairsrikant: right click on the clock, and select 'Digital Clock Settings'15:23
BluesKajbasajaun, have you tried to install kubuntu-restricted-extras ?15:24

amichairbasajaun: what do you mean click from console? click would be in GUI, and running the script manually via keyboard would be in console15:31
basajaunok amichair  I press ctrl +f2 and type jshisen .sh15:36
amichairbasajaun: is there any output?15:36
basajauncommand not found15:37
basajaunfile is executable15:37
amichairbasajaun: try ./jshisen.sh (you can use tab for autocompletion)15:37
amichairbefore that, try 'cat jshisen.sh'. does it do anything other than 'java -jar <jar>'?15:38
basajaunNo such file or directory15:42
amichairbasajaun: if you type 'ls' do you see the files? is the current directory the one with the files in it?15:43
basajaunbasajaun@etchea:~/Documents/jShisen-1$ lsinstall.cmd  jShisen.jar  jShisen.sh  jsos2.ico  jswin.ico15:46
llutzbasajaun: ./jShisen.sh  linux is case sensitive15:47
amichairbasajaun: maybe you mixed the case in the previous commands (it is case-sensitive)15:47
basajaunno I do not understand anything been using this little program for years on previous version of Kubuntu15:51
amichairbasajaun: try running 'java -jar jShisen.jar' (copy exactly with the same case). What is the output?15:52

amichairbasajaun: so it's working OK when you start it this way?15:57
basajaunyes bit akward but works so I guess15:58
amichairbasajaun: how did you run it in the past? not from a command line?15:58
basajaunno before it would start from script but so may things have changed this is an old application 2004 so...15:59
amichairbasajaun: from the same terminal that just worked, if you run './jShisen.sh', does it work?16:02
basajaunyes if I open terminal from folder16:03
BluesKajamichair, what about copying the exe file to /usr/bin/ ?16:04
amichairBluesKaj: exe file?16:04
BluesKajoops thinking in windows again , the runfile16:05
amichairI think when he clicks the script in gui it doesn' use the current directory, and when he opens a terminal it does16:05
basajaunyes amichair sounds right other wiase it would indeed work16:06
amichairor, java is not on the path when running from gui (but that doesn't make immediate sense to me)16:07
amichairbasajaun: are you running it by clicking in Dolphin? or something else?16:07
basajaundolphin16:07
amichairbasajaun: small chance - maybe it needs a restart to see the updated paths?16:09
basajaunsmall chances are to be tried Iĺl do that and thank you for your help amichair , much appreciated!16:10
amichairbasajaun: my pleasure. I'm curious as to why it's not working... but at least we narrowed down when it does :-)16:11

vbgunz_I can almost swear gimp is just broken. no joke, autocrop doesn't work when I am 99% convinced it should and the scissors are in no way obvious.

alesanhi, what is a LIGHTWEIGHT application to hear streaming music?18:03
alesannot amarok please18:03

alesanmy god amarok takes 700MB of RAM!18:04
hawkIwhats it doing? storing the entire CD data image in memory?18:06
raindogCan't recall if mpd does streaming, but I think it does.18:06
tsimpsonalesan: are you sure it's actually using 700MB of RAM18:06
alesantsimpson, I just restarted amarok right now; htop tells me VIRT 1263M RES 103M but this parameter gets worse after several hours18:08
tsimpsonalesan: which, VIRT or RES?18:08
tsimpsonyou can generally ignore the value of VIRT18:08
alesanRES, but let me run it for a while18:09
alesanI just recently upgraded to 10.0418:09
alesananyway18:09
tsimpsonif it is using that much memory, you should probably report a bug18:09
alesanamarok is just bloated18:09
alesanfrom my personal point of view18:09
tsimpsonif you want something a little smaller than amarok, try vlc18:10

amichairhow much RES should the X process be taking?18:15
tsimpsonthat depends on what/how much X is doing18:18
raindogIsn't there an issue with Xorg and nvidia drivers currently?18:18
amichairtsimpson: such as?18:19
tsimpsonwhat windows are open, how many images, what parts are visible, how often an application repaints, lots of things18:20
amichairI'm using nvidia drivers. currently X RES is 220M, which seems a bit on the high side18:20
tsimpsonmine is using ~100MB18:20
raindog540 here.  Since 10.04 Xorg has been hungry.18:20
amichairI've got almost 4 days uptime. will keep monitoring to see if it grows with time, I suppose18:21
tanderson_My xorg was getting nuts. I tried the nouvea driver for a while and didn't have a problem. reinstalled the nvidia and turned off desktop effects and it has been pretty tame.18:22
raindogI think I read about xorg and the newest nvidia drivers not playing well together.  I have 3 days of uptime and moderate desktop effects.18:22
amichairwell, at least it's a known issue, and someone will fix it eventually. Most memory leaks the devs don't believe exist (until you find them urself, if you have the time)18:24
tsimpsonthere's not much anyone can do about the nvidia driver, except the nvidia people18:25
amichairtsimpson: true. But I think they're ok as such, no?18:26
raindogtsimpson: yep.18:26
tsimpsonI don't use an nvidia card, I'm quite happy with my intel chip :)18:26
raindogtsimpson: A friend of mine is sending me another graphics card, but alas it too is nividia.  However, it will be better than my onboard one.18:28
amichairI have an onboard NVidia 9300. It was my compromise of not spending extra on a graphics card, and getting pretty good performance and support. I've been pretty happy with it.18:29
raindogamichair: I don't recall the model number of mine,but I too looked at as cost cutting measure.  I have actually been surprised by how decent it is.18:30

alesanI do not understand why it bother asking the user what to do18:41
ArGGu^^alesan you can only set the security updates to automatically18:42
ArGGu^^why everything should be automatic :D18:42
alesanbecause my mom does not know what is an update18:43

raindogtsimpson: Yes, I am aware of that fact.19:01
ArGGu^^btw is there ever change that kubuntu would change it release cycle so that when new kde is released there would be new kubuntu?19:02
raindogI typically test out betas.19:02
ArGGu^^it would be nice :)19:02

markitand I can aptitude from cable (otherwise wireless connection lasts only few seconds...)20:50
shadeslayermarkit: thats the package name :)20:51
markitshadeslayer: funny, aptitude search network | grep -i manager does not show it20:52
markitI'll investigate later20:52
markitah, manaGEMENT20:52
markitlol20:52
markitI'm tired and probably blind ;)20:52
shadeslayermarkit: :P20:53
* markit crosses his fingers20:56
markit:(20:56
markitdropped after some seconds20:56
shadeslayermarkit: again?20:56
shadeslayermarkit: which kernel?20:57
shadeslayeri have the same card.. :)20:57
^Lightning^Anyone here can help me with an AR242x?'20:58
markitargh, I've put the network plasma in teh taskbar, but showed a grayed rectangle20:58
markitI did "remove panel" but removed the whole taskbar20:58
markitand of course you can't restore easely20:58
* markit hunts for his note about how to restore it20:58
shadeslayermarkit: oh no no,you need to add the network manager needs to be added in systray20:58
shadeslayermarkit: right click on desktop > add panel20:59
markit2.6.32-22-generic20:59
markitadd panel adds an empty one20:59
shadeslayermarkit: ok,try installing the backports modules,that should help20:59
shadeslayermarkit: yeah,that it does20:59
shadeslayerfill it up with stuff you like :P21:00
markithahaha, I try to reset to default instead21:00
markitmaybe I'm lazy, maybe I'm a little irritade by this aproach21:00
markitirritated21:00
markitI'm always in fear of removing it when I work with plasmoids, that's not good21:01
^Lightning^Just lock widgets when yo're done21:01
shadeslayermarkit: ah to reset it to default just remove your .kde folder in ~21:01
markitrm ~/kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc21:03
markit(after a service kdm stop21:04
markit)21:04
markitshadeslayer: so you have the same kernel + wireless chipset I have, you don't have any drop, and you are using restricted modules?21:04
shadeslayermarkit: actually im using a newer kernel21:05
markitbtw, probably I've to add an additiona backport repo, can't find any useful restricted package21:05
markitshadeslayer: oh, me too please! how can I do?21:06
* markit wants 2.6.3421:06
shadeslayermarkit: its the .35 kernel and i did experience some drops on the 34 kernels21:06
markitshadeslayer: so having it working with restricted modules is only a hope21:06
markitI thought intel wireless chipset were the best supported by Free software21:07
shadeslayermarkit: well sort of,you could always remove the modules21:07
shadeslayermarkit: yes,but the backports modules are simply newer git snapshots of the drivers21:07
markitlinux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-22-generic OR linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic ?21:08
markitor both?21:08
shadeslayermarkit: the second one21:08
shadeslayerits a generic package for the modules21:09
markitok, better reboot then (old M$Craops habbits, lol)21:09
shadeslayermarkit: newer kernels can be found at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/21:10
shadeslayermarkit: /!\ USE WITH CAUTION /!\21:10
markitshadeslayer: well "I'll use IF DESPERATE" lol21:10
shadeslayermarkit: hehe :)21:10
soee_is it possible to put 2 panels at the top of the screen?21:10
markitcan't tell my daddy that each upgrade we face lots of problems21:11
soee_i mean second one under firs one21:11
shadeslayersoee_: yeah,but you wont be access one of them21:11
markitto be sincere, with foss is always a risk... my life is full of unespected regressions that ruin all your work21:11
soee_"/21:11
=== shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_
shadeslayer_markit: gtg ciao21:12
=== gp is now known as gp[8]
markitcan't put that damn plasmoiod on it's place21:13
markitshadeslayer_: oh, thanks A LOT21:13
shadeslayer_np :)21:13
markitdo't know if will work, but thanks a lot anyway21:13
markit:)21:13
shadeslayer_markit: what you can also do is rmmod the module and modprobe it again21:13
shadeslayer_just to check if it does the trick :P21:13
shadeslayer_markit: sudo rmmod iwlagn;sudo modprobe iwlagn21:14
markitshadeslayer_: thaks, but I've already rebooted, put the damn plasmoid on teh desktop and I'm testing it21:15
markiturgh :(21:15
markitdisconnected again21:15
markitnow the pasmoid shows nothing (no wierd nor wireless)21:16
markitform bad to worse :(21:16
KjetilKWithin a couple of days, on two different systems, the plasma networkmanagement widget has failed on me21:21
KjetilKand it doesn't seem to start on a restart21:21
KjetilKso far, I've used it only for wired connections21:23
markitmmm connection seems to drop exactly after 30 seconds...21:24
KjetilKI don't know where to start, really21:24
markitKjetilK: I've removed and reput on teh desktop, seems to list the connections again21:25
* markit tries 2.6.35rc1 kernel, brrrr21:25
KjetilKhmmm21:26
KjetilKone weird thing, I seem to have installed both plasma-widget-network-manager and plasma-widget-networkmanagement21:27
markitshadeslayer_: kernel 2.3.35rc1 seems did the trick, can't thank you enough (and all the others that have helped at the beginning)21:28
shadeslayer_markit: awesome :D21:29
markitshadeslayer_: well, scaring! hope new kernel does not wipe out the hard disk ;P21:29
shadeslayer_markit: can you file a bug against the 22 kernel?21:29
shadeslayer_markit: nah its pretty stable....21:30
markitshadeslayer_: I'll go to holiday for some days tomorrow, have no time right now21:30
shadeslayer_markit: sure no problem21:30
* KjetilK removes the former21:30
markitwondering also if is a kubuntu-introduced bug or upstream21:30
markitin any case, I've learned also that if you want a plasmoid in the systray, you have to right click on systray and select "add" from there21:31
markitto be sincere, is not intuitive at all21:31
markit(the "modal" aproach is a bad design one)21:31
contrastGreets, everyone... Anyone using the KDE 4.5 Beta 2 packages yet? I'm wondering about stability, etc. :)21:32
shadeslayer_contrast: yes you can upgrade but all the usual beta warnings apply21:34
markitwell, I can't put there :( maybe i'm too tired21:34
abdullahs.a21:34
markitcontrast: belive me, you are in trouble enough just running the "stable" things, don't hurt yourself! :)21:35
contrastmarkit: point taken, thanks. :)21:36
KjetilKcan I start the network management widget from command line somehow?21:36
contrastKjetilK: knetworkmanager21:36
KjetilKcontrast, isn't that a different program?21:37
contrastmarkit: Speaking strictly in terms of stability, how would you rate 4.5 so far, compared to 4.4?21:37
bbeckIf I "aptitude upgrade" and I get a message about conflicts (e.g. conflict: 1) how can I go about finding out what that conflict is?21:37
contrastKjetilK: Erm, well it's a system tray applet, which is what I assumed you meant by "widget." :)21:37
KjetilKcontrast, I'm not quite sure myself, but I was under the impression that the plasma widget is different from the knetworkmanager app...21:38
markitcontrast: I've no idea, I'm fighting since some hours with troubles with 2.6.2 kernel and 4.4.4 kde, so...21:38
contrastmarkit: Ohh ok. Well, good luck with that. :)21:38
contrastKjetilK: Well, there *is* a Network Manager Plasma widget in the plasma-widget-networkmanagement package, but it's not recommended for use as it's supposedly pretty unstable.21:40
KjetilKcontrast, oh, ok21:41
contrastKjetilK: knetworkmanager, the system tray applet which is installed by default, is probably what you want. ;)21:41
KjetilKthen, that's probably what's bitten me21:41
contrastKjetilK: Ohh, you installed the widget?21:41
KjetilKhmmm, I didn't make a conscious decision about doing that on either system, but yeah...21:42
contrasthehe... Just selected all the packages that started with "plasma-widget-" and clicked Install, eh? I've done that a time or two myself.21:42
basajaunamichair: ?21:43
contrastKjetilK: You'll want to be sure to remove the widget from your desktop *before* uninstalling the package. Sometimes Plasma goes nuts if it can't find a widget that's supposed to be on the desktop.21:44
KjetilKcontrast, I always use aptitude, so no :-)21:45
KjetilKand it isn't running21:45
KjetilKhmpf21:45
basajaunjust to let you know  concerning the intriguing java application- creating a short cut on desktop to jShisen  opens it straight away renewed thanks for earlier on bye21:45
* KjetilK logs out and gets the box connected with /etc/network/interfaces21:46
KjetilKOK, now I've got knetworkmanager in, but it just sits there and says "Unmanaged"21:58
KjetilKwhat can I do about that?21:58
^Lightning^I got a problem. Just prgraded to Karmic. network manager won't let me enable wireless21:59
* KjetilK found http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager21:59
^Lightning^No22:01
^Lightning^as in I can't see any networks at all22:01
^Lightning^AR242x22:01
contrast^Lightning^: First, open /etc/network/interfaces (Alt+F2 -> kdesudo kate /etc/network/interfaces), then place a # at the beginning of every line under "iface lo inet loopback". Save and exit...22:02
contrastThen, in a terminal (Alt+F2 -> konsole), run the following commands: sudo service networking restart; sudo service network-manager restart22:03
^Lightning^no lines below iface xxxxxxxx22:04
^Lightning^auto lo22:04
^Lightning^iface lo inet loopback22:04
^Lightning^Tha'ts it22:04
contrast^Lightning^: Oook... Then let's have a look at /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state. Could you pastebin the contents of that file?22:05
^Lightning^1 min22:06
shadeslayer_contrast: btw ever tried the network manager with WICD backend? does it work>22:06
contrastshadeslayer_: Never tried it. NM generally does the job for me. :)22:07
shadeslayer_hmm.. my nm doesnt connect to WEP networks sometimes :P22:07
^Lightning^I did that with a kdesudo kate22:07
^Lightning^Either empty, or non existent22:07
KjetilKHmmmm, all I get when I set managed=true and then restart network-manager is "Network Management disabled"22:07
KjetilKand indeed, the state says so too22:07
contrastKjetilK: Pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces and /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state files?22:09
contrast^Lightning^: I just googled "ar242x wireless ubuntu" (no quotes) and it showed several promising hits. Sounds like a hardware issue, so I'd start there. :)22:10
^Lightning^I've tried it all before22:10
^Lightning^Nothing works. It worked for a week and stopped suddenly22:11
contrast"hardware issue" as in you're missing a module.22:11
contrast^Lightning^: So you installed madwifi?22:11
mirzaI allso had wireless problems sicne last week and kernel update i think22:11
mirzaknetworkmanager is disabled allways22:11
mirzabu wicd seems to work for me22:11
contrastOr do you mean it was working out of the box?22:11
^Lightning^I did something22:12
^Lightning^From some guide22:12
^Lightning^Now it's all screwed up22:12
contrastDid you save said guide to your bookmarks by any chance? That doesn't really give me much to go on. ;)22:12
shadeslayer_or maybe check your history :P22:13
^Lightning^I have a guide in my bookmarks22:13
^Lightning^But I don't think it22:14
^Lightning^it's THAT one.22:14
KjetilKcontrast, OK, I have to get it back on the net with interfaces to do that, just a minute22:14
KjetilKhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/447411/22:15
KjetilKshouldn't be any surprises there...22:16
contrastbrb, phone...22:16
contrastKjetilK: sudo mv /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state ~; sudo service network-manager restart22:19
mukituhej everyone. I installed fglrx which worked quite well but I can't activete composite in KDE. fglrxinfo gives me no errors22:19
contrastKjetilK: Then just restart KNetworkManager22:20
tintiHi, I want to change notifications from bottom/up to left/right where exactly is the source code of notificatio widget on taskbar22:21
tinti?22:21
KjetilKcontrast, ah, there, finally22:24
ScuniziHow do you get kmail to Forward and email with an attachment.. so far I've found it strips the attachment22:24
KjetilKsince I had used ifup -a -i /root/interfaces, I had to ifdown that first, kill knetworkmanager, which appeared to be hanging, then restart network-manager, then start knetworkmanager22:25
KjetilKthanks a lot22:26
shadeslayer_Scunizi: tried googling? ( ive only just started using kmail )22:26
contrastglad to help. :)22:28
tazzi am trying to install dependencies for building kde on 10.04, is there any replacement for the libcaptury-dev package ?22:30
tazzit seems to be dropped.22:31
shadeslayer_tazz: one sec22:34
shadeslayer_!find libcaptury-dev22:35
ubottuPackage/file libcaptury-dev does not exist in lucid22:35
shadeslayer_tazz: what depends on it?22:35
tazzshadeslayer_, its mentioned at http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Kubuntu_and_Debian22:36
shadeslayer_tazz: btw #kubuntu-devel might have more idea on this22:36
tazzshadeslayer_, yup22:36
shadeslayer_tazz: its a optional dep22:36
tazzshadeslayer_, yes i know, i am ignoring it for now. But i just wanted to make sure i was not missing something before i modify the documentation :)22:37
shadeslayer_tazz: :)22:37
shadeslayer_tazz: you can pull in all the deps with apt-get build-dep kdebase-workspace22:37
shadeslayer_well... most of them,those are the deps that the official packages were built against22:38
tazzyup22:38
tazzwell the page could be outofdate22:38
shadeslayer_probably...22:39
