[01:02] <cato37_> the alsa audio channels are muted by default. how do i unmute them so that there is sound on my laptop?
[01:03] <bill> cato click on the speaker icon
[01:03] <bill> i found the answer to my question, thanks
[01:04] <cato37_> i did. the speaker and the slider work, but the volume doesnt. i recompiled the thing and in the notes on the console it read: "alsa audio channels are muted by default" but i cant unmute them with the icon.
[01:05] <bill> cato: did u click on MIXER
[01:05] <cato37_> yes
[01:06] <bill> cato: do u have a PCM showing in MIXER
[01:07] <cato37_> it reads hda intel
[01:07] <bill> yes but do youe have  "Master Front PCM Headphone" listed
[01:07] <cato37_> i have teh pcm turned p half-way
[01:07] <cato37_> yes
[01:08] <bill> turn pcm all theway up
[01:08] <cato37_> master, front, pcm, cd and headphone listed
[01:08] <bill> yes, slide pcm all the way up
[01:09] <cato37_> k
[01:09] <bill> wait you said your volume works?
[01:09] <bill> you can hear audio?
[01:09] <elliottm> how do i manually set my dns servers with knetworkmanager? when i go to "manage connections" from the system tray icon, eth0 (my only network interface)  doesn't show up in the list
[01:09] <cato37_> the mechanisms work, but no sound comes out
[01:10] <bill> hmmm I had to slide PCM up all the way and it fixed my volume problem
[01:10] <cato37_> well, i have been tinkering witht the alsa stuff, and tried to recompile it. i might have goofed it u[p
[01:11] <bill> maybe unistall and then install via package manager
[01:12] <cato37_> uninstall alsa?
[01:12] <bill> hold on let me check
[01:18] <bill_> have u looked here, http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=search2
[01:18] <bill_> kubuntuforums....have to read some
[01:20] <bill_> cato: in the Kmixer handbook, it states "Using ALSA and OSS driver at the same time"...are u?
[01:27] <cato37> i dont know. how do i check?
[01:28] <cato37> bill, how do i check?
[01:30] <cato37> i have to go. i will try again tomorrow. have a good evening all.

[02:01] <wizkoder> hy everybody
[02:01] <bill_> hey
[02:01] <wizkoder> is there a way I could check my gmx mails lets say every minute and alert me if a mail with a specific subject arrived?
[02:02] <bill_> do u use kmail
[02:02] <bill_> do u download via POP3
[02:03] <wizkoder> Have configures kmail yes
[02:03] <wizkoder> no pop. I have to use imap
[02:03] <bill_> do u have a gmail account
[02:03] <wizkoder> yes I have a gmail account too
[02:04] <bill_> u can download gmail to ur pc via pop3 using kmail or whatever flavor mail app u choose
[02:04] <bill_> set it up to check ebery x minutes
[02:04] <bill_> every
[02:05] <wizkoder> like I forward all mails with the subject to gmail and configure kmail to read gmail instead?
[02:06] <bill_> yeah u can have gmail suck all ur email from some other email account. not sure for how many days it will do it for

[02:08] <bill_> i havent set up yahoo account to forward automatically, probably cant
[02:09] <wizkoder> I totally love the new gmx. The mail filter there is also very powerful. I kindof don't like us companies and the fbi to read my mails ;)

[05:31] <bdizzle> hi, I was wondering if someone could help me mount my card inside my SD drive on my laptop. Sometimes kubuntu will pick it up, other times it won't
[05:31] <bdizzle> right now its not, and I'd rather not have to reboot just for it to "see" the drive

[06:17] <CartoonCat> hellos
[06:19] <CartoonCat> so, 2 weeks ago i did a update, and the ethernet driver broke. its the r8169 module, but reloading it does not fix the issue, so i am thinking its higher up the food chain, but do not see any other modules that look like they would be involved. anyone happen to know? (the error is 100% reproducable, ifconfig up the port, use it, down the port, up the port, SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory)
[06:26] <bdizzle> has anyone ever got the Texas Instruments 5-in-1 SD card reader to actually read their SD card?

[11:45] <slow-motion> hi
[12:43] <tdn> Is pulseaudio installed by default? I heard it was... But I see that the package 'pulseaudio' is not installed in Kubuntu 10.04. Why is that?
[12:50] <tdn> I just installed pulseaudio, how do I get it working in Kubuntu 10.04?
[12:53] <bendersteed> Thats what we all ask..
[12:53] <lumm> pulse is a nightmare thats why its not in ubuntu anymore by default;)
[12:54] <bendersteed> it is in ubuntu..
[12:54] <bendersteed> but cant work well with phonon.
[12:55] <tsimpson> it can work with phonon
[12:56] <tsimpson> System Settings -> Multimedia
[12:58] <bendersteed> Well, I haven't manage to make it work, any work around?
[12:59] <bendersteed> And after that any way for it to work with kmix, so we can finally manage to choose volume by application in kmix.
[12:59] <bendersteed> ?
[13:01] <tsimpson> kmix only does ALSA afaik
[13:09] <bendersteed> Well I've seen stuff from Mandriva Cooker with fully integrated kmix with pulseaudio & that was cool
[13:10] <tsimpson> KMix may well do non ALSA stuff, but I've never bothered trying
[13:10] <tsimpson> ALSA is just fine
[13:14] <bendersteed> well is ok but pulsemix is more useful dont you think. But I havent managed to compile it correctly anytime, but keep trying I guess
[13:15] <tsimpson> I don't get the point of it
[13:15] <tsimpson> if I'm listening to something, I'm not listening to another thing at the same time
[13:15] <tsimpson> one volume level is perfectly fine
[13:16] <tsimpson> or, for audio applications, they should provide their own volume controls

[16:04] <avishek> all quiet on the kubuntu front today...
[16:04] <ArGGu^^> avishek https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router#Setting%20Up%20Your%20Network%20Interfaces
[16:05] <ArGGu^^> maybe that would help
[16:05] <avishek> ArGGu: thank you. my client machine keeps giving "Unknown Host" even though i've set resolv.conf
[16:06] <DRT[AtWork]> ok, Lucid says my wireless is active, but it doesn't show any networks, any ideas?
[16:09] <ArGGu^^> avishek but is the dns server in external network? If it is it cannot connect it without the router working and of course you need to set the default gateway for your client.
[16:10] <avishek> ArGGu: dns server is in the external network; router is working; and client gateway is set. i think it's a problem with ipv4 forwarding
[16:10] <judgen> Anyone know how to calibrate my touchscreen.
[16:11] <cato37> the taskbar tray with all the icons like sound and wifi connection are gone, and all the icons are sqeezed to the left except the date and time. how do i get it back how it was?
[16:11] <cato37> a crash bug just came up also.
[16:17] <avishek> ArGGu: if my dns is on the external, is there any special consideration to be taken for my client? i've set my client resolv.conf to the external dns.
[16:22] <ArGGu^^> avishek have you used traceroute to see that ip traffic goes to your router from your client
[16:23] <avishek> ArGGu: no, i'll do so now
[16:24] <avishek> ArGGu: I'll be rebooting now. thank you for your help.
[16:32] <cato37> i unchecked the widgets and rechecked them and they appeared properly. the sound now works, the knetwork manager still needs replaced with  the gnome so it doesnt lock out during hibernation, and all of the icons are in the task tray. so far the system has been very good.
[16:32] <DRT[AtWork]> can anyone help me with getting the wifi to work in Lucid? says it's on, but can't pick up any of the 3 networks here
[16:38] <cato37> i had the same problem yesterday, and am trying to find the url to the ubunu soluton page.
[16:44] <cato37> wo,w, i cant find the url. it had to do with disabling the knetworkmanager and installing the gnome one in its place. it had some commands to run in the prompt; but i cant find it now.
[16:53] <DRT[AtWork]> cato37: ok, lemme try and see what i come up with
[16:54] <cato37> sorry. i know it had something to do with killing the knetwork manager, installing the gnome nw and then selecting the autostart feature for it.
[16:57] <trupheenix> i'm having real issues with panesl
[16:57] <trupheenix> can anyone help?
[16:57] <trupheenix> or is every1 watching worldcup?
[16:57] <ArGGu^^> trupheenix what is the issue?
[16:58] <trupheenix> ArGGu^^: the panel is not appearing on all desktops
[16:59] <trupheenix> ArGGu^^: also if i stretch the panel across the entire desktop
[16:59] <trupheenix> it turns black
[16:59] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, all desktops as in across multiple monitors?
[16:59] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: no all virtual desktops
[17:00] <devilsadvocate> wut
[17:00] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: yea
[17:00] <trupheenix> it's not showing
[17:00] <devilsadvocate> hrm, thats strange. i havent been able to do that _on purpose_
[17:00] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: i don't know
[17:00] <trupheenix> some real strange issue
[17:01] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: i hate to say this
[17:01] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: but kubuntu is too buggy
[17:01] <ArGGu^^> trupheenix you sure you are switching between desktops not activities?
[17:01] <savgur> Hi, is some slim cd covers for lucid lynx kubuntu?
[17:01] <trupheenix> ArGGu^^: yes desktops
[17:01] <trupheenix> ArGGu^^: Ctrl+f1
[17:01] <ArGGu^^> well then that reallly odd :S
[17:02] <trupheenix> ArGGu^^: yea i know
[17:02] <devilsadvocate> ArGGu^^, afaik panels are maintained across activities too
[17:02] <ArGGu^^> trupheenix you using lucid?
[17:02] <trupheenix> also can u tell me why the panel becomes black if u maximize it? i want it to be translucent
[17:02] <trupheenix> ArGGu^^: yes i'm using lucid lynx
[17:02] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, well, i'm afraid all i can say is that it works for me
[17:03] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: nice
[17:03] <savgur> Sorry: where i can download all available cd/dvd covers for kubuntu?
[17:03] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: maybe u can tell me then why does my panel become black when i maximize it?
[17:03] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, my panel has always been maximised.. its always been transparant
[17:03] <ArGGu^^> I also had the panel black when I started using lucid but don't remeber how i got it working :S
[17:04] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, how do you maximise it?
[17:04] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: settings
[17:04] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: more settings
[17:04] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: visibility
[17:04] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: maximize
[17:04] <FloodBotK1> trupheenix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:05] <Xand3r> hey, what have i to do so that kopete is showing the icq 7 icons in the right way?
[17:05] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, hrm. clicking on maximise panel doesnt change anything for me. ftr, i'm using it set to right but with the sliders dragged to maximum
[17:05] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, i dont quite remember how / if i changed anything
[17:05] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, yep. the maximise thing works fine here
[17:06] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: yea but my panel becomes black
[17:06] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: is there anyway i can configure the translucency of the panel?
[17:06] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: kde is total nightmare
[17:06] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: it's like windoz
[17:06] <trupheenix> devilsadvocate: gnome is like mac
[17:06] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, the panel transparancy is set by the plasma theme settings
[17:07] <devilsadvocate> trupheenix, alt+f2 -> desktop theme settings (iirc)
[17:07] <devilsadvocate> s/settings/details
[17:08] <ArGGu^^> DRT[AtWork] any luck with the wireless?
[17:08] <DRT[AtWork]> that would be a negitive
[17:08] <DRT[AtWork]> tho i tried something not quite what cato37 said
[17:09] <trupheenix> heh fiddling with the settings brought it back. kde is super buggy and complete fail
[17:09] <ArGGu^^> DRT[AtWork] when you select connect other network from knetworkmanager it won't list any wireless networks?
[17:10] <DRT[AtWork]> all i have is "802.11g Create Wireless Connection"
[17:11] <trupheenix> that's it
[17:11] <DRT[AtWork]> if i go through that to connect to other network, it doesn't show me any, just ask for me to create one
[17:11] <trupheenix> i had it with kubuntu time to switch to debian sid squeeze lxde was much simpler zippier and easier
[17:12] <DRT[AtWork]> othert than that it doesn't show me any other networks
[17:14] <ArGGu^^> DRT[AtWork] and the gnome network manager didn't work also?
[17:14] <DRT[AtWork]> where do i find the directions for that
[17:14] <DRT[AtWork]> ?
[17:15] <ArGGu^^> DRT[AtWork] open konsole
[17:16] <ArGGu^^> sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome
[17:16] <ArGGu^^> kill knetworkmanager
[17:16] <ArGGu^^> and run nm-applet
[17:16]  * DRT[AtWork] copies that for he has customers to deal with
[17:19] <trupheenix> ok kubuntu is a joke
[17:19] <trupheenix> is there a decent distro which runs kde properly?
[17:21] <DarthFrog> trupheenix: Have you had a look at OpenSuSE?
[17:21] <trupheenix> DarthFrog: yea and i hate it. ubuntu/debian is far better
[17:23] <villemv> if it's a joke, I'm not laughing
[17:23] <trupheenix> villemv: huh?
[17:25] <DarthFrog> All the various distributions have their supporters and their detractors. K/Ubuntu is no different in that respect.  I like what the Kubuntu team is trying to accomplish.  It's not perfect but it's pretty darn good.
[17:26] <trupheenix> hmmm
[17:26] <trupheenix> i agree
[17:28] <trupheenix> but there are serious UI quirks
[17:28] <trupheenix> it's stupidly complicated
[17:28] <trupheenix> KDE should follow the GNOME style of UI
[17:28] <trupheenix> it's so simple
[17:28] <trupheenix> KDE instead tries to be like Windoz
[17:32] <Guest39770> òkmm
[17:36] <DarthFrog> trupheenix: If you wish to continue this conversation, please join #kubuntu-offtopic.
[17:36] <trupheenix> DarthFrog: ok :)

[17:53] <draik> Hello everyone
[17:54] <draik> How do I change the font size for the items within System Settings > Advanced > Login Manager
[17:54] <draik> ?
[17:55] <draik> Everything else has expanded to font 22 as set wtihin System Settings > Appearance > Fonts, but this section still shows everyting at font size 9 or so
[17:56] <James147> draik: Apperance > Fonts configues the user level fonts, not the system or kdm fonts
[17:56] <trupheenix> damn
[17:56] <trupheenix> themes don't change
[17:56] <James147> draik: can you not change them in Login Manager > General > "Fonts" pain?
[17:57] <draik> I can change a value in there, but it doesn't do anything
[17:57] <James147> draik: are you using the themed greeter?
[17:58] <draik> It is all default.I just set this up on my LCD flat screen.
[18:01] <draik> Where can I upload a screenshot?
[18:02] <James147> http://imagebin.org/
[18:06] <draik> http://imagebin.org/101880
[18:06] <DRT[AtWork]> ArGGu^^: ok, i installed network-manager-gnome, and i still don't see my wifi
[18:07] <James147> diconico07: oo, your trying to change the size of the fonts inside loginmanager :S I though you where trying to change the font of kdm :)
[18:07] <James147> draik: ^^ sorrry
[18:08] <James147> draik: loginmanager is a root level window launched with kdesudo I beleave, so it uses the roots profile for its settings
[18:08] <draik> Oh, that would explain that
[18:08] <daedaluz> I can't believe this.. PulseAudio seems stable!
[18:09] <draik> I suppose the same goes for the login prompt, right?
[18:09] <James147> draik: you can change roots settings by launching systemsettings as root (kdesudo systemsettings)
[18:09] <draik> Whta's the command for the system settings so I can do it as root?
[18:09] <draik> That answers that :)
[18:09] <ArGGu^^> DRT[AtWork] what wifi card you have?
[18:10] <DRT[AtWork]> that is a very good question...i forgot the command to find out tho :/
[18:10] <James147> draik: dont think so, you should be able to change the font of the login prompt (kdm) through loginmanager.... not sure how themes respond to changes in font size though you could try disabling the themed greter or useing different themes
[18:11] <James147> DRT[AtWork]: lspci | grep Network   works sometimes :)

[19:11] <draik> I am using my HDMI for both video and audio. At first, I had audio working just fine. Now, I don't have any audio output
[19:12] <_B_S_> Blueskaj: Thanks. Interesting. Did not know that. "Checking for a new ubuntu release", "No new release found". Problem is a repository / package issue, less an upgrade issue.
[19:13] <Blueskaj> _B_S_,  maybe some dependncies weren't brought along . Do sudo fuser -vki -term /var/lib/dpkg/lock, then sudo dpkg --configure -a and start over
[19:14] <Blueskaj> draik, check your pcm setting in alsa
[19:14] <Blueskaj> err alsamixer
[19:15] <Clinteger> hi everyone
[19:15] <draik> Blueskaj: All of my audio levels are at 100%
[19:15] <Clinteger> I'm having trouble getting mp3s to play in amarok :(
[19:15] <Clinteger> I installed libxine1-ffmpeg but it's still not working
[19:15] <_B_S_> Blueskaj: Interesting. Want to try again: 'fuser: Invalid option t'. Past dpkg --configure -a fails in same way (libcups2). It also reveals many unconfigured packages. Very much feels like if I can get past libcups2 issue, it should all just go tickety boo.
[19:15] <Blueskaj> draik, make sure everthing unmuted aswell
[19:16] <draik> Blueskaj: Yup. No mutes
[19:16] <Blueskaj> _B_S_, ok try this, sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[19:17] <Blueskaj> draik, got pulseaudio ?
[19:17] <draik> Blueskaj: Let me check
[19:18] <draik> Blueskaj: No, should I install it?
[19:18] <_B_S_> Blueskaj: --clear-avail ran ok, but no change in behaviour. --configure still very unhappy. apt-get wants libcups2 and fails same way.
[19:19] <Blueskaj> draik, pci soundcard or onboard ?
[19:19] <draik> Blueskaj: It's all onboard. I'm using my HDMI for audio
[19:21] <Pedro> olá
[19:22] <Pedro> i need some help, please
[19:22] <Blueskaj> hdmi out , is connecting to both video and audio sections , draik ?
[19:22] <Pedro> i never used this before
[19:22] <Blueskaj> err connected
[19:22] <James147> !hi | Pedro
[19:23] <James147> !help | Pedro
[19:23] <Pedro> nive
[19:23] <draik> Blueskaj: It is 1 HDMI cable coming out from the box to the TV.
[19:24] <Blueskaj> _B_S_, sorry , maybe James147 can help you further , i've run out of ideas
[19:25] <Blueskaj> draik, using hdmi out just for audio, no video ?
[19:25] <_B_S_> Blueskaj: OK, thanks for trying.
[19:25] <_B_S_> James147: Have you a moment for me?
[19:25] <James147> _B_S_: Maby :S
[19:26] <draik> Blueskaj: I'm using it for both
[19:26] <slow-motion> hi
[19:27] <_B_S_> James147: Sorry, assumed you followed thread. Have half upgraded karmic -> lucid laptop. Stuck on libcups2 install error. e.g. 'unable to install (supposed) new info file `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/shlibs': Is a directory'. Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/452128/.
[19:28] <James147> _B_S_: what happens when you run "sudo aptitude install -f"?
[19:29] <Blueskaj> well draik , unless it's muted at the tv , but first make sure that your soundcard is the priority in system settings /mmultiedia/
[19:30] <draik> Blueskaj: I tested all in the list and none play audio
[19:30] <draik> Blueskaj: I do have HDMI as primary
[19:30] <Blueskaj> err multimedia
[19:30] <_B_S_> james147: same. was using apt-get to K.I.S.S., expecting to run aptitude when hurdle overcome. aptitude wants to upgrade libcups2, and finish configuration of the many screens of not yet configured packages. Dies trying to do libcups2, then spews over unconfigured.
[19:31] <James147> _B_S_: cups aint important... you could try removing/purging it
[19:32] <cuatrocientoscua> .
[19:32] <Blueskaj> draik, try this test in the cli , speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav
[19:32] <_B_S_> James147: Agreed, but attempts to remove it trigger attempt to remove, e.g. all of kde.
[19:33] <_B_S_> James147: Try it, for example. apt-get (or aptitude) remove libcups2 - See what it wants to do as a result. (Do say no to proceeding!)
[19:34] <Blueskaj> _B_S_, just a thought , disconnect any printers
[19:34] <Blueskaj> for now
[19:35] <_B_S_> Blueskaj: No printers near the thing at the moment. Last thing I care about is printing, at the moment. (-:
[19:35] <draik> Blueskaj: Nothing coming out of my speakers
[19:36] <Pedro> Hi, I´m from Brasil. I had one partition (sda1) with jaunty installed and the home directory was in it. So I decided to separate my personals files from the system files by creating a new partition and installing kubuntu 10.04 on it (sda4). Now I want to mount my home directory that is in sda1 on the new home directory on sda4. I want to know if I can mount only an especific folder of a partition , without having to mount the hole thing
[19:37] <James147> Pedro: you need to moung the whole thing... usually people place the contents of /home on a new partition and mount that at /home... however you can use --bind with mount and bind a folder to a new location
[19:40] <trupheenix> hmmmm
[19:40] <trupheenix> i can't seem to start qt creator
[19:40] <Pedro> i will try that, tanks for now
[19:40] <trupheenix> it's getting stuck on some futex
[19:40] <trupheenix> any solutions?
[19:42] <Blueskaj> draik, then you probly need to make everything is unmuted in alsamixer , make sure there are no Ms in the ctrl boxes , use the M key to unmute.
[19:42] <James147> _B_S_: Not sure if all of kde needs cups (i should hope not) so you could try removing it and resolving the dependency manually in aptitude :S I think your problem might be kubuntu-desktop depends on cups... if you let that be removing but try to keep the other stuff it depends on
[19:43] <draik> Blueskaj: Already assured of that
[19:46] <Blueskaj> draik,  perhaps  a new soundcard driver is needed, lspci | grep audio
[19:47] <_B_S_> Pursuing package configuration manually (one way to find needle in haystack is to make haystack smaller), "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 is not a symbolic link" Clue?
[19:47] <Blueskaj> draik, or lsmod | grep snd
[19:49] <draik> /m Blueskaj
[19:49] <draik> $ lspci | grep audio
[19:49] <draik> $ lsmod | grep snd
[19:49] <draik> snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi     3840  1
[19:49] <FloodBotK3> draik: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:49] <draik> snd_hda_intel          21877  6
[19:50] <Blueskaj> !intelhda | draik
[19:54] <Blueskaj> draik, if you have a coaxial/spdif or toslink audio out on your soundcard it may be set as the default , try that one if the hdmi isn't connecting to your soundcard internally like one expects
[19:56] <draik> Blueskaj: I need to reboot. I will check once I return
[19:56] <draik> Thanks for the help, Blueskaj
[19:56] <Blueskaj> draik, let's hope it worked
[20:12] <draik> Blueskaj: No, that didn't work
[20:13] <draik> Blueskaj: How do I make sure that I'm using Alsa instead of anything else. I also only see xine as my backend within the multimedia section.
[20:14] <apparle> draik: what happened
[20:15] <draik> apparle: I'm running my audio via HDMI (along with my video) but I no longer get audio output.
[20:15] <apparle> draik: no longer as in, was it working ever?
[20:16] <draik> Yes, it was previously working, apparle
[20:16] <apparle> draik: then what did you do to stop it :)
[20:16] <apparle> draik: I mean did yo install any package or a new kernel or a distro upgrade etc
[20:17] <_B_S_> libcups2 won't die. " Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal." It won't upgrade, remove, purge, or install.
[20:17] <trupheenix> i can't seem to change my theme to oxygen
[20:17] <trupheenix> anyone can help me?
[20:17] <draik> apparle: I've installed quite a few things. There was also a new kernel involved. I don't know when it would have occurred, to be honest.
[20:18] <apparle> draik: if you have not removed the old kernel, try booting through it.
[20:19] <apparle> I have setup a wired connection in KNetworkManager, but everytime pc starts first it tries to connect to 'Auto eth0' and then to my connection. How to change the default
[20:19] <draik> apparle: I took it out already
[20:19] <apparle> draik: ahh.. is there anything in the logs
[20:19] <apparle> draik: is alsamixer etc working normally
[20:20] <Blueskaj> apparle, do you mean using /etc/network/interfaces instead of NM?
[20:20] <draik> OK, so now I have audio working, just not from Firefox
[20:20] <apparle> Blueskaj: NM...
[20:20] <Blueskaj> network manager
[20:21] <apparle> Blueskaj: I know, I am telling you, I mean NM
[20:21] <apparle> draik: ahh, by firefox, check if it is only flash or it is firefox
[20:21] <Blueskaj> right click on the icon , manage connections
[20:21] <apparle> Blueskaj: next
[20:22] <apparle> draik: also check if it is working in VLC, coz I know many people whose audio has failed in vlc and firefox simultaneously
[20:23] <draik> apparle: It's a new install and I don't have audio files
[20:25] <Blueskaj> apparle,  depends on your setup
[20:25] <Timo_> what is the problem? http://www.upload.ee/image/644574/pilt49.png
[20:25] <apparle> draik: there should be some system files like dialog sound etc, look in system folders
[20:25] <apparle> Blueskaj: ihave a connection listed under wired but how do I make it default
[20:25] <Timo_> this is a kubuntu 10.05 in vbox http://www.upload.ee/image/644574/pilt49.png
[20:26] <Timo_> 10.04
[20:27] <Blueskaj> apparle, in mnage connections , choose the wired tab and choose autoconnect
[20:27] <draik> apparle: I can't even get Java installed
[20:27] <Blueskaj> draik, install kubuntu-retricted-extras
[20:27] <apparle> Blueskaj: I don't have anything like autoconnect in wired tab
[20:28] <draik> Blueskaj: I did
[20:28] <Blueskaj> apparle, how about connect automatically
[20:28] <apparle> Blueskaj: I have it selected. That's it connects automatically when Auto eth0 fails
[20:29] <apparle> Blueskaj: that's old, now java is not there in extras, its moved partner repos
[20:29] <apparle> !java | draik
[20:29] <apparle> draik: you can install java icedtea packages
[20:30] <apparle> draik: or you can install sun java from partner repos
[20:30] <apparle> Blueskaj: any ideas, why system connection checkbox is greyed out
[20:30] <Blueskaj> draik , make sure your 3rd party sources are enabled in your package manager or canonical partners are uncommented in your sources.list
[20:31] <Blueskaj> no idea why , unless you have 2 connections conflicting, apparle
[20:32] <draik> apparle: Blueskaj: Just enabled it and getting them now
[20:33] <apparle> Blueskaj: what do you mean conflicting, I just want to remove the Auto Eth0
[20:34] <Blueskaj> apparle, what do you have in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[20:35] <apparle> Blueskaj: auto lo | iface lo inet loopback
[20:35] <Blueskaj> draik, speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav
[20:35] <_B_S_> rmdir /var/lib/dpkg/info/libcups2.shlibs. <sigh> Why it couldn't tell me that instead of a /tmp directory created and removed by virtue of running apt-get / aptitude / dpkg / pick you favourite ...
[20:35] <apparle> Blueskaj: IMHO, when NM is used, interfaces file is not seen
[20:36] <draik> Blueskaj: Weird. i still don't get any audio output from that
[20:37] <apparle> draik: from that as in? firefox?
[20:37] <draik> apparle: The command provided by Blueskaj
[20:37] <Blueskaj> apparle, NM checks  /etc/network/interfaces before connecting , that's what I've been led to beleive
[20:38] <draik> Still not getting audio from firefox
[20:38] <Blueskaj> some ppl toyally bypass NM and use /etc/network/interfaces settings exclusively to connect, apparle
[20:39] <apparle> Blueskaj: and I have observed (in maybe older version) that if it finds that interfaces is used, NM shows network unmanaged or something like that
[20:39] <Blueskaj> draik,then there's
[20:39] <apparle> draik: what was the command
[20:39] <Blueskaj> something seriously missing
[20:42] <Blueskaj> apparle, I just remove NM on my desktop and setup /etc/network/interfaces to the eth0 connection , and using a ststic IP is best , http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[20:42] <Blueskaj> err desktop-pc that is , apparle
[20:42] <arr> getting really poor desktop performance, how do i check that i have the correct gfx drivers
[20:43] <apparle> Blueskaj: I do that at home, I want it to do it through NM
[20:44] <Blueskaj> well, dunno then apparle , some weird bug i guess
[20:44] <Blueskaj> bbl
[20:45] <draik> Downloaded a song and I have no audio from VLC
[20:45] <apparle> draik: but you have it from amarok, dragon etc I guess
[20:46] <draik> apparle: Amarok yes
[20:48] <apparle> draik: try reconfiguring the alsa packages
[20:48] <apparle> draik: or try removing pulseaudio
[20:48] <apparle> draik: I have heard that problem many times, but I don't know the exact solution
[20:49] <apparle> draik: try running vlc in konsole and see if you get any errors
[20:52] <draik> apparle: No error message, just the following:
[20:52] <draik> [0x970e148] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[20:52] <apparle> draik: no idea... try removing pulse audio
[20:53] <draik> apparle: I just did
[20:53] <apparle> draik: any luck
[21:05] <nfero> hi all
[21:05] <mfraz74> hi
[21:12] <mfraz74> any idea why I'm getting "could not open a temporary file" when saving from Kompare?
[21:16] <apparle> can I keep gnash and flash together
[21:22] <mvk> i need the 2.6.33 kernel for my SSD drive (trimming support), so what i did was ... i installed 10.04 lucid
[21:22] <mvk> and then installed the 2.6.33 kernel from mainline ppa
[21:22] <mvk> didnt realize i didnt update the system before installing the new kernel
[21:23] <mvk> did i do it wrong? (its working, but i do see a notice or warning before it enters KDE... > really fast.. i cant read it)
[21:25] <mvk> + the system tries to install a new 2.6.32 kernel automatically (as a security update)........ but of course i dont want this
[21:26] <mvk> ^^ need serious help guys, anyone?
[21:35] <mvk> do i need to disable updates? > how do i fix that error?
[21:40] <edju> Well, 10.4 doesn't use hal, so guidance-powermanager is no longer alive.  Does KDE provide a replacement for it?
[21:41] <James147> edju: power devil
[21:44] <edju> James147, apt-cache search doesn't return for powerdevil or power-devil - so what's it called?
[21:49] <James147> edju: not entirly sure what package it is in, but why do you need to know that, it is installed by default and with kubuntu-desktop
[21:54] <James147> edju: according to http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/PowerDevil?content=85078 it has been merged into kdebase
[21:55] <edju> I'm trying to find something that does the same as guidance-powermanager.  Having trouble.
[21:56] <James147> edju: its intergradted into kde now.. system settings > advanced > power managment to configure it... some things can be changed through krunner (alt+F2: profile <profilename> as an example) or via the batery widget
[21:57] <edju> James147, OK, thanks a lot.
[22:06] <harman> Guys , anyone using apt-fast ?
[22:07] <harman> apt-fast doesn't downloads Dependecies of Dependencies using axel , any workaround for this ?
[22:15] <cthrurecords> hello
[22:16] <cthrurecords> i am having some trouble with nvidia settings
[22:17] <James147> cthrurecords: what trouble?
[22:17] <cthrurecords> I get an error that sends me to low graphics mode.
[22:21] <cthrurecords> to clarify: I installed the nvidia with synaptic while trying to get a composite out from an adaptor on a dell inspiron 9100.  one of the errors it gave mentioned the bios and nx settings.
[22:24] <cthrurecords> with the nvidia tool it says that i am not using the nvidia x driver
[22:25] <James147> cthrurecords: try running "sudo nvidia-config"
[22:25] <James147> cthrurecords: *xconfig sorry
[22:27] <cthrurecords> james147: did it.  do i restart?
[22:29] <James147> cthrurecords: you need to restart xserver (logout out and click restart xserver from one of the menus)
[22:58] <cthrurecords> james it did not work
[22:59] <James147> cthrurecords: have you actually installed the dirver? (you can do it in jockey-kde)
[23:00] <cthrurecords> sudo jockey-kde?
[23:00] <James147> cthrurecords: kdesudo jockey-kde
[23:03] <cthrurecords> i just get broadcom no nvidia...
