| Xepera | I accidentally removed my KDE "task bar" (the one that shows running tasks, clock, etc). What widget needs to be added to get it back? | 01:50 |
| ilumi | i have a text file which i can not edit, need help | 01:59 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: Why can't you edit the file? | 01:59 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, i dont know, i try to type or paste stuff into it, and nothing happens | 02:00 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: What file? What editor? | 02:00 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, normal .txt file, it was made on linux, but i added the .txt later, and trying to edit with kate | 02:01 |
| DarthFrog | Does kate load the file? | 02:02 |
| ilumi | yeah it loads and displays it | 02:02 |
| DarthFrog | What are the file's permissions? | 02:02 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, read and write on everything, my username as owner and group | 02:03 |
| DarthFrog | So what happens when you try to save the file after editing it? | 02:04 |
| DarthFrog | And please don't say "nothing". | 02:04 |
| DarthFrog | :-) | 02:04 |
| ilumi | well, i cant input any new characters | 02:04 |
| ilumi | so i have to say nothing | 02:04 |
| DarthFrog | So you can't edit the file? | 02:04 |
| DarthFrog | Editing and saving are different operations. | 02:04 |
| ilumi | when i hit save it prompts me to save as a new file | 02:05 |
| DarthFrog | And can you do that? | 02:06 |
| ilumi | yes but it doesnt save anything new, because i cant input anything | 02:06 |
| DarthFrog | Nevermind that right now. Can you save the file as a copy of the original file? Can you edit & save the copy properly? | 02:07 |
| ilumi | i can save the copy, but i cant edit the copy either | 02:08 |
| DarthFrog | If so, edit the copy, save it then delete the original file and rename the copy to the name you want.. | 02:08 |
| DarthFrog | Hmm. Bizarre. | 02:08 |
| DarthFrog | If you can save the copy, then the file system is mounted rw. So that's out. | 02:08 |
| Dragnslcr | Kate will let you edit a file even if you can't save it | 02:09 |
| DarthFrog | Can you open a terminal and type "lsattr <filename" where <filename> is the name of the problem child. | 02:09 |
| Dragnslcr | I would guess that it's an encoding issue | 02:09 |
| ilumi | but i can edit it with open office | 02:09 |
| DarthFrog | And leave the terminal window open, cuz we're going to vi next. :-) | 02:10 |
| DarthFrog | Here's an idea: install kwrite and see if that solves the problem. | 02:11 |
| ilumi | lsattr shows -----------------e- 1.txt | 02:11 |
| Ezro | Hey, can someone help me get my graphics card to work please? | 02:11 |
| Ezro | Last time I tried I destroyed X and couldn't login | 02:12 |
| Ezro | lol | 02:12 |
| ilumi | Ezro, whats the problem | 02:12 |
| Ezro | I want to play my game on a clean install of kubuntu, my graphics card is an 8600 GT | 02:12 |
| Ezro | And I don't know what to do. | 02:13 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: The "..e" means that the file is using extents on the file system. But it is not marked immutable. | 02:13 |
| Ezro | Last time I tried installing the driver from nvidia's page. | 02:13 |
| Ezro | That just borked everything. | 02:13 |
| ilumi | Ezro, you should be able to install a driver with the hardware drivers | 02:13 |
| ilumi | option | 02:14 |
| Ezro | The hardware drivers installed something weird last time | 02:14 |
| Ezro | That didn't work | 02:14 |
| ilumi | it should | 02:14 |
| DarthFrog | should and does are two different things. :-) | 02:14 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, ok, not sure what that means | 02:14 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: Install kwrite and try that as an editor. | 02:15 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, ok will try thank you | 02:15 |
| Ezro | ilumi: I see 3 options for NVIDIA: 173, 96 and current (recommended) | 02:16 |
| Ezro | Do I just activate current and then restart? | 02:16 |
| ilumi | Ezro, yup, wait for it to install | 02:16 |
| === Rancid is now known as lol | ||
| DarthFrog | Ezro: Don't go for current. | 02:17 |
| Ezro | Why not? | 02:17 |
| DarthFrog | Not with a card that old. | 02:17 |
| DarthFrog | Try the 96 drivers first. | 02:17 |
| Ezro | ? | 02:17 |
| ilumi | Ezro, i say go for current, but you should fine out how to uninstall them from the command prompt, if you want to get back to the desktop when they dont work | 02:20 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, hey kwrite cant edit it either | 02:23 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: Do you know how to use vi? | 02:24 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, yes, do you know if there is a command to reset all permissions/ | 02:24 |
| DarthFrog | Use "chmod" to change permissions | 02:25 |
| DarthFrog | "chmod 660 <filename>" should be sufficient. | 02:25 |
| DarthFrog | But before that, how about trying "ls -lah <filename>" and pasting the single line result here? | 02:27 |
| Ezro | So I went with 96 first | 02:27 |
| Ezro | And I rebooted into command prompt | 02:27 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, -rwxrwxrwx 1 ilumi ilumi 11K 2010-06-13 03:39 1.txt | 02:28 |
| DarthFrog | What happens if you type "startx"? If it fails, what error is given by /var/log/Xorg.0.log. | 02:28 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: You don't need to reset those permissions. :-) that's wide open! | 02:28 |
| Ezro | DarthFrog: Could not open the devile file /dev/nvidia0 | 02:29 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: That's 777 permissions. The file is set as excutable, BTW. | 02:29 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, yes, i unchecked executable, but i still cant edit | 02:30 |
| DarthFrog | Ezro: Nuisance. Beyond me right now. But that's the scotch whiskey effect. :-) | 02:30 |
| Ezro | Do you know how to get rid of the driver? | 02:31 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: Can you cut 'n paste the contents of the file into a new, empty file? | 02:31 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, and yes vi can also edit it | 02:31 |
| ilumi | but not kate or kwrite :o( | 02:32 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: OK, so you can edit the file. Sounds like a bug with the KDE editors. | 02:32 |
| DarthFrog | Ezro: What do you get from "dpkg --list | grep -i nvidia"? | 02:33 |
| Ezro | nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-96, -96-modaliases, -common, -current, -current-modaliases | 02:34 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, yes, that works, its a bug, because that text file was created on arch i think | 02:34 |
| ilumi | or some other distro | 02:34 |
| DarthFrog | Ezro: Then "sudo apt-get remove --purge <package>", using those package names will get rid of them. | 02:34 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: A text file is a text file is a text file. | 02:35 |
| DarthFrog | Or should be. | 02:35 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, it should be, its really annoying though | 02:36 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: If you can work around it, do so and get on with your life. That kind of stuff happens to me all the time and I can't be bothered getting my knickers in a knot over it. Pragmatism is preferable to perfection. | 02:37 |
| ilumi | DarthFrog, yeah you right, i only have 2, but it could be a problem if someone has many | 02:38 |
| Ezro | What do I do now | 02:40 |
| Ezro | I can't get back into X | 02:40 |
| Ezro | This is the same problem I had before | 02:40 |
| Ezro | Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? | 02:44 |
| ilumi | Ezro, uninstall the driver | 02:45 |
| Ezro | I removed everything I could from that list. | 02:46 |
| Ezro | And I still can't boot. | 02:46 |
| Ezro | into X, that is | 02:46 |
| Ezro | I can boot just fine | 02:46 |
| ilumi | what did you remove? | 02:46 |
| ilumi | and how | 02:46 |
| Ezro | "sudo apt-get remove --purge" everything from "dpkg --list | grep -i nvidia" | 02:46 |
| ilumi | i dont think thats a good way to remove it, you could remove some other files that are needed | 02:48 |
| Ezro | Well | 02:49 |
| Ezro | Darth told me to do that. | 02:49 |
| ilumi | what you should have done is to search for nvidia, and it would tell you which packages were installed | 02:49 |
| ilumi | and then remove the driver by name, nothing else | 02:49 |
| ilumi | now search for nvidia | 02:50 |
| ilumi | and install the latest driver | 02:50 |
| Ezro | If I knew how to do any of those things, I would be using Gentoo. | 02:50 |
| ilumi | then reboot | 02:50 |
| ilumi | aptitude search nvidia | 02:50 |
| ilumi | then aptitude install packagename | 02:51 |
| ilumi | as sudo | 02:51 |
| ilumi | sudo aptitude install packagename | 02:52 |
| Ezro | There's a bunch of stuff from search nvidia | 02:53 |
| ilumi | well look for the driver | 02:53 |
| ilumi | you said 175 or something | 02:53 |
| Ezro | I'm going to just get current. | 02:54 |
| ilumi | ok | 02:56 |
| Ezro | Ya, I just installed and rebooted | 02:56 |
| Ezro | and X still won't start. | 02:56 |
| ilumi | so type start x | 02:57 |
| ilumi | start | 02:57 |
| ilumi | x | 02:57 |
| ilumi | damn | 02:57 |
| ilumi | startX | 02:57 |
| Ezro | I tried that and it didn't work | 02:57 |
| ilumi | so open the log file that darth was talking about and see what it says | 02:57 |
| ilumi | cd /etc/X11 | 02:58 |
| ilumi | ls | 02:58 |
| ilumi | vi or vim thelogfilename | 02:58 |
| ilumi | or whatever else if you are on gnome | 02:58 |
| ilumi | gedit | 02:58 |
| Ezro | I think I'm done with this -_-" | 02:59 |
| Ezro | As I said, if I wanted this work I'd just install Gentoo. | 03:00 |
| ilumi | yeah its not easy to get along with linux | 03:00 |
| ilumi | there used to be a command to reconfigure the xserver, but i think they got rid of it, | 03:01 |
| ilumi | and i dont know how to reconfigure it now | 03:01 |
| ilumi | and no one knows i guess | 03:02 |
| ilumi | try ubuntu channel there are more people there | 03:04 |
| ilumi | maybe someone knows | 03:05 |
| denis | algun español? | 03:08 |
| ilumi | Ezro, see if this command works - sudo dpkg-reconfig xserver-xorg | 03:08 |
| denis | SPANISH? | 03:08 |
| ilumi | Ezro, or sudo nvidia-xconfig | 03:09 |
| ilumi | !es | 03:09 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 03:09 |
| DarthFrog | ilumi: Purging the nvidia packages isn't going to cause any problems that Ezro doesn't already have. At least now he doesn't have any stale files/drivers hanging around. | 03:12 |
| DarthFrog | Ezro: Have you tried the nv driver? It'll give you X but not 3D. | 03:13 |
| DarthFrog | Ezro: Is there a xorg.conf.failsafe file in /etc/X11? If so, then "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and reboot. | 03:21 |

| apparle | draik: ok try this, select the audio device as OSS in vlc | 03:34 |
| draik | apparle: Just did it and it's not producing output | 03:36 |
| apparle | draik: did you restart vlc after that | 03:36 |
| draik | apparle: Just did and still nothing | 03:37 |
| apparle | draik: no idea, then... | 03:37 |

| draik | I have VLC set to Alsa right now. I don't have pulseaudio installed so I don't think that's an option | 05:19 |
| ilumi | see if you have alsa-oss installed | 05:19 |
| draik | I don't. Let me install it really quick | 05:20 |
| ilumi | i dont know much about it, when i have sound problem i just install alsa and alsa-oss and things work | 05:20 |
| draik | That didn't do anything for me | 05:22 |
| draik | I restarted Firefox along with VLC; still no change | 05:24 |

| ilumi | hi | 05:35 |
| ilumi | draik, i say uninstall and purge alsa and alsa oss then reinstall, and revert back if you did any changes in the players settings | 05:36 |

| starslights | well devs will more able to answer than me but i have a 9600 or soemthink like that and to run all new features, it i don't see how old card can handle it if you don't disable some options, wait to have a good answer :P | 12:19 |

| amichair | kleopatra: in general, you can assume that each level of cache/RAM/disk has a different, more or less constant access time. Other than that, the question is too vague, and not really related to kubuntu. | 12:38 |

| slow-motion | re | 14:49 |
| trupheenix | slow-motion: ? | 14:50 |
| poyntz | your method doesn't work for the latest version of kde i think tru | 14:50 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: why ? :'( | 14:50 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: it was so easy under gnome just drag it and the cube spun around | 14:51 |
| poyntz | not sure but i just tried myself to verify and the option wasn't there | 14:51 |
| poyntz | lol | 14:51 |
| poyntz | i set it on the last version | 14:51 |
| * trupheenix hates kde | 14:51 | |
| poyntz | so i don't have the problem | 14:51 |
| poyntz | :) | 14:51 |
| trupheenix | will switch back to lxde | 14:51 |
| poyntz | but yeah true, it should be a default | 14:51 |
| James147 | poyntz: I still ahve the option in kde 4.5 beta so it should still be on 4.4 | 14:51 |
| trupheenix | was no frills but worked | 14:51 |
| James147 | just they keep moving it around :) | 14:52 |
| poyntz | James147: strange. I promise I've got no option called 'screen edge' in window behaviour :/ | 14:52 |
| James147 | poyntz: on kde 4.5 beta? its in a different place on 4.4 | 14:52 |
| poyntz | James147: i'm on the kubuntu lucid, not quite sure how to check my kde version :/ | 14:53 |
| poyntz | i'd give you the specifics if i could | 14:53 |
| James147 | poyntz: any kde application > help > about KDE | 14:54 |
| poyntz | i'm on 4.4.2 | 14:54 |
| poyntz | so this is strange :/ | 14:55 |
| James147 | poyntz: yeah, they you have the option, its jsut not in the same place... but i cant remember where it is exatly | 14:55 |
| James147 | poyntz: might be under desktop :S | 14:55 |
| poyntz | i'm trying that lol | 14:55 |
| poyntz | i'm fine. i've already enabled :) | 14:55 |
| poyntz | i'm just trying to help tru out | 14:56 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: try this: Desktop -> Screen Edges -> and select 'Always Enabled' from the drop down menu next to "Switch desktop on edge' | 14:57 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: then click Apply | 14:58 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: did you get that? | 14:59 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: nope | 14:59 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: got disconnected | 14:59 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: try this: Desktop -> Screen Edges -> and select 'Always Enabled' from the drop down menu next to "Switch desktop on edge' | 14:59 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: then click Apply | 14:59 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: found | 15:00 |
| poyntz | :) | 15:00 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: kde needs to take lessons from gnome in simplicity of UI | 15:00 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: kde is like windoz | 15:00 |
| poyntz | agreed | 15:00 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: too many options | 15:00 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: ultimate confusion | 15:00 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: gnome is like mac. simple and clean. | 15:01 |
| poyntz | lol. i like it cause it's sexy | 15:01 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: yet powerful | 15:01 |
| poyntz | but i have to disagree with windows vs mac | 15:01 |
| poyntz | to me mac is really complicated | 15:01 |
| poyntz | and windows is really simple | 15:01 |
| poyntz | but i agree with you on the kde vs gnome comparison | 15:01 |
| James147 | I dont find kdes settings that complicated... they have been moving things around abit too much :) but usually for a good reason | 15:02 |
| poyntz | James147: i think he's talking about 'systems settings' specifically | 15:03 |
| poyntz | James147: it's difficult to know what fits under desktop and window behaviour | 15:03 |
| James147 | poyntz: as am I :S | 15:03 |
| poyntz | James147: not sure if there's a tutorial anywhere either | 15:03 |
| poyntz | James147: also the fact they keep changing stuff around doesn't help :P | 15:03 |
| trupheenix | James147: obviously u don't use any apple products or gnome | 15:04 |
| trupheenix | James147: start using and u will find simplicity | 15:04 |
| James147 | poyntz: they have been looking at that and are moving things to where they are more suited... as why that setting is now under window behavoiur (also they got rid of the advanced tab)( | 15:04 |
| trupheenix | James147: their UIs are much simpler and organized than kde | 15:04 |
| trupheenix | James147: but KDE is sexy no doubt :) looks damn good | 15:04 |
| James147 | trupheenix: I found they ui too restrictive and I couldent find some of the option i wanted (they didnt exist) | 15:04 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: i disagree somewhat and agree somewhat | 15:05 |
| trupheenix | poyntz James147: well yea true | 15:05 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: James147 but simplicity rules for most people | 15:05 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: i find with all the right settings enabled the kde interface is a lot better for window management etc. | 15:05 |
| James147 | trupheenix: and you have to keep in mind that kde 4 is fairly new and evolving rapidly, they move things to better locations every verssion (which is anoying at the time but better in the future) | 15:05 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: also i favour the programs that come preinstalled with kde over the default gnome ones | 15:06 |
| James147 | poyntz: same here | 15:06 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: one of the thinks i like about gnome is the absence of an apply button. u choose an option and it gets applied. u can actually see how it will look like. incase u don't like it u can press cancel and it's gone! :) | 15:06 |
| James147 | poyntz: about the only window managmet option I hanve is the "click to focus" setting | 15:06 |
| James147 | i have changed ^^ | 15:06 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: personally i think empathy or pidgin are much better options than kopete. | 15:07 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: quassel irc is nice | 15:07 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: true. the thing is competing OSs / window manager teams have a tendency to want to make things quite different from each other. Take windows/mac for example and how mac puts the minimise/close buttons on the left, but windows puts them on the right | 15:07 |
| poyntz | James147: true. the thing is competing OSs / window manager teams have a tendency to want to make things quite different from each other. Take windows/mac for example and how mac puts the minimise/close buttons on the left, but windows puts them on the right | 15:07 |
| poyntz | trupheenix: sorry my last message to you was supposed to be for James147 :P | 15:08 |
| James147 | poyntz: I just like the fact you can change most the settings you dont like in kde (unlike in windows.. at least not easily) | 15:09 |
| trupheenix | James147: i agree with u | 15:09 |
| trupheenix | James147: KDE is more customizable than GNOME. | 15:09 |
| trupheenix | James147: but that makes it more complex | 15:09 |
| poyntz | James147: definitely agree there. also because of the slim nature of the linux applications. kde provides a fast alternative to the windows environment | 15:10 |
| James147 | trupheenix: of which i can live with.. I prefure having my desktop exatly how I want rather then almost exatly how I want but having a cleaner settings ui in return (which I dont ahve to look at once I have set the settings) | 15:10 |
| poyntz | James147: also love the wabbly windows and they ability to get rid of Alt+Tabbing | 15:10 |
| poyntz | *the | 15:11 |
| trupheenix | even though i personally think KDE is a royal mess. i must admit that the community is excellent. u guys have the best attitude and knowledge. i hardly find anyone to speak to on the gnome or gtk channels. | 15:11 |
| poyntz | not to mention the quick Alt+F2 search feature (which looks for things on the Internet for us :D) | 15:11 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: i love alt+f2 | 15:12 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: just love it | 15:12 |
| poyntz | :) | 15:12 |
| poyntz | but unfortunately not there in gnome | 15:12 |
| poyntz | also widgets are great | 15:12 |
| poyntz | you can make things so customizable | 15:12 |
| poyntz | and it's all preinstalled | 15:12 |
| trupheenix | poyntz: yes it's there. there is an alt+f2 | 15:12 |
| James147 | poyntz: i like the fact it have an inbuit calcualtor and spell checker as well :) but I think this is getting a bit off topic now we should move to #kubuntu-offtopic | 15:12 |
| poyntz | true | 15:13 |
| poyntz | why has plasma-notes been removed from the reps? | 15:13 |
| poyntz | and is it still compatible with the latest kde environment? | 15:13 |
| poyntz | maybe i'm thinking plasma-widgit-notes | 15:14 |
| James147 | poyntz: widgets are under plasma-widgets-* | 15:14 |
| poyntz | James147: I tried but can't see notes there :/ | 15:16 |
| poyntz | it was in kde 4.3 | 15:16 |
| poyntz | came preinstalled too | 15:16 |
| James147 | poyntz: I think "notes" might be in the core widgets, can you not find it in "add widgets"? (its here and was preinstalled on mine) | 15:18 |
| trupheenix | any one know how to change the K icon in the launcher? i want to put a Kubuntu Icon | 15:19 |
| James147 | trupheenix: right click it > Application launcher settings > general > icon | 15:20 |
| trupheenix | James147: wow so easy? | 15:23 |
| James147 | trupheenix: yeah :D | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | eye candy is easy on kde | 15:25 |
| === Luukje|geslaagd is now known as Luukje|Afk | ||
| BluesKaj | eye candy on gnome is terrible and the options are cartooney looking ,IMO | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | that panel at the top , who dreamed that up ... just to be different than windows it seems | 15:27 |
| trupheenix | BluesKaj: it's actually quite nice. it's more usable than everything else. it's so simplified even for beginners | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | trupheenix, what is ? | 15:27 |
| trupheenix | BluesKaj: the GNOME menu bar | 15:28 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: I dont mind the panel on top... What I hate is the panel on top AND the panel on bottom :S | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | well, to each his own I guess :) | 15:28 |
| trupheenix | James147: both panels are nice because i open like a zillion windows at one go so it's useful to have stuff clean at the bottom. i put application launch icons on the top for frequently used applications. | 15:29 |
| James147 | trupheenix: If ever I have that many windows open I would get rid of the task bar and place the effect "present windows" on one of the screen edges | 15:30 |
| trupheenix | James147: ah... and then u would hunt through them :) | 15:30 |
| trupheenix | James147: nice idea | 15:30 |
| James147 | trupheenix: or consider smooth tasks again :) | 15:31 |
| * James147 goes to install smooth tasks | 15:31 | |
| James147 | oo its in the repos now :D | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | I don't populate the desktop with icons , the panel is fine for launching apps | 15:31 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: I barly use icons to launch apps anymore.. Alt+f2 :D | 15:32 |
| trupheenix | James147 BluesKaj I like your way of thinking. it is very practical | 15:33 |
| trupheenix | must admit that i love alt+f2 | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | this is my present desktop http://imagebin.ca/view/R0fRfn.html | 15:37 |
| Luukje|Afk | BluesKaj: nice pic | 15:41 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: heres mine http://imagebin.ca/view/NnDA-d.html :) | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | Luukje|Afk, yeah luv the available wallpapers from kde-look , one can also install them using the "desktop activity settings" , just right click in the desktop | 15:42 |
| Luukje|Afk | :P | 15:43 |
| Luukje|Afk | ok ty | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | James147, twin monitors ? | 15:44 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: aye :) the bottom black bit is the part of the desktop I cannot see due to different resilutions | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | been considering using my second 22" samung , might swap it out and give wifey the 20" :) | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | James147, right | 15:46 |
| eviljoker | hi, I have a problem with my kubuntu netbook 10.04. sometimes happen that some icons are shown with the star on the right top and when I move my mouse on it the star disappear... is it a bug? | 15:52 |
| James147 | eviljoker: is the page locked? the start wont appear is it is and should if it is not. | 15:53 |
| eviljoker | James147: yes the page is locked | 15:54 |
| James147 | eviljoker: unlock it and you should be able to click teh star (it will add it to your favrouites at the top of the page) | 15:54 |
| James147 | eviljoker: other then that it should only be a minor cosmetic bug if you are showing when its locked but disapearing when you try to use them | 15:55 |
| eviljoker | James147: pratically the star should appear only when I move the curson on the icon, but sometimes happen the opposite thing | 15:57 |
| James147 | eviljoker: is it a major problem to you? if not you could wait untill 4.5 is realeased and see if its fixed in that | 15:58 |
| eviljoker | James147: sure it's not a big problem but if it is a bug I want to report it so it can be solved in the next release :) | 16:00 |

| amichair | help! I just installed lucid updates, and following a reboot I can't login - can't start ksmserver error. when running manually it says something about a version mismatch between NVIDIA libGL.so and lilbGLcore. What's going on? | 16:20 |
| James147 | amichair: umm, are you using the nvidia drivers? | 16:21 |
| amichair | James147: yeah, had nvidia-current The latest batch of updates were supposed to take it from 195.36.15 to 195.36.24, but now it's half way there (those two version numbers appear as mismatched in the error message) | 16:22 |
| James147 | amichair: rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try restarting kdm that will revert you back to the open drivers and should allot you to fix the problem :) | 16:23 |
| amichair | James147: I tried that, same error | 16:24 |
| amichair | is ksmserver loaded by kdm or ther other way around? or independently? | 16:24 |
| James147 | amichair: I am not sure | 16:25 |
| James147 | amichair: you sould try running startx and see if that works | 16:25 |
| amichair | James147: already running | 16:26 |
| amichair | I see the login screen too, but after entering the credential, I get a generic ksmserver error. when I try running ksmserver in tty, I get the detailed version mismatch error | 16:27 |
| ubuntu_ | Hello, somone know what chmod number directorys in Kubuntu should have i thinked i chmodded /tmp 755 and borked the system :( | 16:28 |
| James147 | amichair: try creating a new user and see if you can login with them | 16:28 |
| James147 | ubuntu_: Mine is on 777 :S | 16:29 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 16:29 |
| James147 | ubuntu_: or at least rwxrwxrwt :S what ever that t is :S | 16:29 |
| ubuntu_ | James147: you know if i can mount the disk via a live cd and just change? | 16:30 |
| James147 | ubuntu_: you can, not sure why you would need to, cant you get to a terminal? | 16:30 |
| ubuntu_ | i can | 16:31 |
| ubuntu_ | but can't login via the disk | 16:31 |
| ubuntu_ | tried now brb if it not works | 16:31 |
| James147 | ubuntu_: even a virtual console? | 16:31 |
| ubuntu_ | is sudo chmod +rwxrwxrwt /media/disk/tmp good | 16:31 |
| ubuntu_ | James147: no | 16:31 |
| ubuntu_ | or should try that brb | 16:31 |
| James147 | ubuntu_: I dont know that the t is, 777 should work fine | 16:32 |
| amichair | James147: if I remove nvidia-current and nvidia-current-modalias, then logon works... but then I don't have the drivers. | 16:32 |
| James147 | amichair: hmm, what happens if you reinstall them? | 16:33 |
| CartoonCat | Hellos | 16:34 |
| amichair | James147: should I install both packages? are there others that need to be installed? | 16:34 |
| CartoonCat | poped in a memory card to my laptop, and its not detected. looks like no richo or mmc modules are loading, nor are they present. were they left out of the build? (stock build not custom) | 16:35 |
| James147 | amichair: not sure, I would do it through jockey-kde that should install everything that is needed | 16:35 |
| James147 | CartoonCat: is your bios detecting the memory? | 16:36 |
| CartoonCat | >.< | 16:36 |
| CartoonCat | not RAM | 16:36 |
| amichair | James147: I tried, it didn't show any drivers on the list | 16:36 |
| CartoonCat | memorystick Pro Duo | 16:36 |
| James147 | CartoonCat: :) sorry | 16:36 |
| James147 | CartoonCat: missed the word "card" :) | 16:36 |
| CartoonCat | (me to, i asusme the mmc and richo modules would be a give away) | 16:37 |
| CartoonCat | I have a habit of details hehe | 16:37 |
| CartoonCat | lacking | 16:37 |
| James147 | CartoonCat: I want sure what they where :) | 16:37 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, whynot check the hardware drivers in /system to see which driver is recommended , and btw which nvidia card are you running ? | 16:38 |
| James147 | amichair: try reinstalling them both then and see what happens | 16:38 |
| amichair | current was recommended when I upgraded to lucid. I have an on-board 9300. worked great up until this update. | 16:39 |
| CartoonCat | James147: aaah, you never have used a card reader have you ? | 16:40 |
| James147 | CartoonCat: I have, but all the ones I have just work :S | 16:40 |
| CartoonCat | mine did too till lucid, biggest damn mistake of my life, should have stayed with 9. | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, http://www.pastebin.ca/1887112 | 16:41 |
| amichair | James147, BluesKaj: reinstalled nvidia-current, and it doesn't start again. gui shows generic 'ksmserver can't start' message. Running ksmserver on tty says a version mismatch between the nvidia libGL.so (195.36.15) and libGLcore.so (195.36.24). | 16:46 |
| Anubis | i have this process running: nepomukserver. can this process be stopped from starting again when my kub bo boot ? | 16:46 |
| James147 | Anubis: System settings > advanced > nepomuk | desktop search | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, sorry I should include remove existing driver in those instructions :( then install the new one , the current drivers obviously updated | 16:48 |
| amichair | seems to me either the updated nvidia-current is broken itself, or it doesn't clean up the previous version properly :-/ | 16:48 |
| Anubis | it's disabled | 16:48 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: tried that before - when I remove the nvidia drivers, everything ok (except, of course, I don't have the drivers). | 16:48 |
| CartoonCat | amichair: both, you need to manualy delete the libgl's | 16:48 |
| James147 | Anubis: then it should start | 16:48 |
| James147 | Anubis: shouldnt ^^ | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, yeah perhaps purging the driver would work | 16:49 |
| Anubis | james147: it shoud't but it does | 16:50 |
| amichair | how do I list the files/versions that are installed as part of a package? | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, aptitude show nameofapplication | grep State | 16:52 |
| Anubis | this is the line: kdeinit4: nepomukserver [kdeinit] -session <some numbers> | 16:52 |
| James147 | Anubis: what version of kde are you using?> | 16:53 |
| Anubis | 442 | 16:53 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: I meant to see what the package (e.g. nvidia-settings) consists of - which libs and which versions | 16:53 |
| amichair | ummm. nvidia-current, that is | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj | apt-cache policy nvidia-current, amichair | 16:55 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, that's one i can't recall | 16:55 |
| trupheenix | i have a blind buddy | 16:57 |
| trupheenix | he wants to use kubuntu | 16:57 |
| trupheenix | he's cribbing about accessibility | 16:57 |
| trupheenix | what should i tell him? | 16:57 |
| trupheenix | does orca work with kde? | 16:57 |
| James147 | trupheenix: orca? | 16:58 |
| amichair | hmmm... when I run 'locate 195.36.15' I see all sorts of libs of the old version... how do I get rid of them? repeat the uninstall of the previous version somehow? | 17:00 |
| BluesKaj | trupheenix, check system settings / accessibility | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, yeah do a remove --purge nvidi-current , see what happens ,but use the default kernel source driver to log back in then check again to make sure they're gone | 17:02 |
| BluesKaj | the libs that is | 17:03 |
| trupheenix | BluesKaj: nope no orca integration. must have orca integration | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | in other words amichair , just log back in after a reboot without installing the new driver | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | trupheenix, well , dunno what to suggest , sorry. maybe someone else can help . | 17:05 |
| trupheenix | BluesKaj: hmmm | 17:06 |
| BluesKaj | hmmm? | 17:07 |
| James147 | trupheenix: kdes text to seech software isnt working very well atm :( but is slowly improving over time. I dont see it getting a screen reader untill then | 17:07 |
| * BluesKaj wonders if Dragon NaturallySpeaking will run in wine | 17:10 | |
| James147 | BluesKaj: from what I remember it dident do very will in wine :( | 17:11 |
| bittin | Hello, somone know why dwm dosen't show up in kdm | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | James147, was thinking of trying it..wife has really decent version of it and runs great on vista | 17:12 |
| James147 | bittin: probally because its a windowmanager not a desktop enviroment... you should be able to replace kwin with it in the kde session though | 17:13 |
| bittin | huh? | 17:13 |
| starslights | trupheenix: i had same problem with the driver nvidia a couple day ago and finaly i found only one command who fixed all, maybe can help you but i am not enough expert to know if it will good for you, it was "sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers- `uname -r`" , i don't want that's it doeas somthing more bad for you, but by me it's good again | 17:13 |
| bittin | that i don't want to do | 17:14 |
| trupheenix | starslights: ? | 17:14 |
| starslights | yes | 17:14 |
| starslights | i wasn't able to start my system after the update, because of the nvidia driver, and that command fixed my problem, but i don't really know if it's same for you... | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | starslights, I think you should have directed that to amichair , sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers- `uname -r` ..is that correct ? | 17:16 |
| amichair | thanks, but any idea why that would be realated? | 17:17 |
| starslights | yes, i have do that , that's right, after my system download a missing package and rebuild all and after rebooting all started again | 17:17 |
| James147 | bittin: http://osdir.com/ml/debian-bugs-dist/2010-03/msg07229.html | 17:17 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, could be a missing lib module in the kernel source | 17:18 |
| amichair | hmmm, I just ran that, and it says it's already installed at the newest version | 17:18 |
| starslights | not really, it's the secound time i got that problem after a upgarde on Lucid, never had on previous version , now i am happy to know how fix it but i had serach and tested lot of things :/ | 17:18 |
| bittin | i can start dwm from openbox :) | 17:19 |
| bittin | thats the easy way to solve it | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, you ptobly need to run it on a tty , ctrl+alt+f1 | 17:20 |
| amichair | I'm running everything in a tty, since I can't get into anything else :-) | 17:20 |
| BluesKaj | ok ;0 | 17:20 |
| amichair | how can I reinstall the previous version of nvidia-current? | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | did you purge nvidia like i suggested a while ago ? | 17:22 |
| amichair | purge? sorry, I must have missed that... I just removed | 17:22 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: what should I run? | 17:23 |
| James147 | amichair: sudo aptitude purge <package> will remove config files as well | 17:23 |
| amichair | ok, then after restart should I try installing again? | 17:24 |
| amichair | hmmm... it shows some warnings about 'directory not empty so not removed' | 17:24 |
| ChuckyY | hiho | 17:24 |
| ChuckyY | plz help me for connect me bnc | 17:24 |
| amichair | should I remove all those dirs manually? | 17:24 |
| ChuckyY | im have quaesl irc | 17:24 |
| James147 | amichair: depends whats inside them :S | 17:25 |
| amichair | they all have nvidia-current in the path, so I'm guessing I can kill anything under that.... I hope :-) | 17:25 |
| James147 | amichair: rather then deleteing tehm try renaming them just incase :) | 17:26 |
| amichair | James147: always good advice :-) | 17:26 |

| clerk | hello guys! who try use qutim as jabber client to connect to jabber server on google apps? | 17:44 |
| trupheenix | is there any way to hide and unhide the plasmoids on my desktop? | 17:48 |
| James147 | trupheenix: what do you mean, hide indivitual plasmoids temproly or to show the plasmoids over the windows? | 17:49 |
| amichair | James147: I removed all them bad folders, reinstalled, rebooted, still no go. | 17:49 |
| trupheenix | James147: i want to hide all of them together. | 17:49 |
| trupheenix | James147: and also be able to show them over the window if required | 17:49 |
| trupheenix | i sometimes want to see a completely clean desktop | 17:50 |
| amichair | now if I try running ksmserver I get 'symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol...' | 17:50 |
| James147 | trupheenix: you can 'hide' them by creating a new activity and switching to that (not desktop, activity) | 17:50 |
| trupheenix | James147: didn't get u | 17:51 |
| clerk | so is it possible connet to google apps jabber using qutim? | 17:54 |
| BluesKaj | reinstalled nvidia amichair ? .. you should have just relogged in then checked to see if the bad libs were gone first | 18:00 |
| amichair | BluesKaj, James147: It's fixed!! Thanks a lot for your help! What I had to do is uninstall and purge nvidia-current, and then manually remove all libGL*.* and libGLcore*.* from /usr/lib and /usr/lib32, as well as all of /usr/lib(32)/nvidia-current, then reinstall the drivers, and reboot... | 18:06 |
| James147 | amichair: :) | 18:06 |
| James147 | amichair: not sure why it was so complcated to fix it :S | 18:07 |
| amichair | that was one hairy update | 18:07 |
| amichair | in any case, thanks a bunch to everyone :-) | 18:10 |

| spawn | is there anyone here? | 20:12 |
| === laptop is now known as Guest98653 | ||
| mfraz74 | spawn: what do you want to do with the iphone? | 20:13 |
| spawn | hi man, i was just looking to transfer songs on and off | 20:14 |
| mfraz74 | think you have to connect it to a windows pc to start with | 20:15 |
| spawn | ohh yeah, totally | 20:15 |
| mfraz74 | with itunes | 20:15 |
| spawn | i had it on the girlfriends itunes to activate it | 20:15 |
| mfraz74 | what are you trying to use to transfer the songs? | 20:15 |
| spawn | well i have amarok installed, but it doesnt seem to mount that i can see | 20:16 |
| mfraz74 | does the device notifier do anything when you connect the iphone? | 20:16 |
| spawn | nope... and i have tried switching it on when its plugged in | 20:17 |
| mfraz74 | does lsusb show anything? | 20:17 |
| mfraz74 | or dmesg | 20:17 |
| spawn | i duno, how do i check | 20:17 |
| spawn | ok lsusb has an entry for iphone | 20:18 |
| mfraz74 | open up konsole it's in the menu under system. connect your iphone wait a bit and then type lsusb and dmesg |tail | 20:18 |
| mfraz74 | what about dmesg? | 20:19 |
| mfraz74 | and what is the entry for the iphone? | 20:19 |
| spawn | lsusb states: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05ac:1292 Apple, Inc. iPhone 3G | 20:19 |
| spawn | dmesg stats many things the last of which is config 1 chosen from 4 choices | 20:20 |
| mfraz74 | which version of k/ubuntu? | 20:20 |
| spawn | 10.04 | 20:21 |
| spawn | it also states [38642.834070] nepomukservices[1632]: segfault at 279 ip 00007f282b104d5f sp 00007f2820ba1a78 error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.6.2[7f282afe6000+276000] | 20:21 |
| mfraz74 | that should be fixed in KDE 4.5, but I wouldn't recommend upgrading to that yet as it is still beta | 20:22 |
| spawn | thats my problem though?? | 20:22 |
| mfraz74 | have you looked here http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3111376.0 ? | 20:22 |
| mfraz74 | i don't think the nepomukservices segfault has anything to do with the iphone, i used to get it too | 20:23 |
| spawn | yeah i totally read that... | 20:23 |
| mfraz74 | have you tried on #amarok? | 20:23 |

| draik | Hello everyone. Happy Father's Day for those to whom it applies. | 20:45 |
| draik | I have re-installed Kununtu 10.04 and I still do not get audio from VLC, Firefox or Kaffeine. Amarok, however, will play my music. | 20:47 |

| draik | I'm also working on fixing the font size on a few things. | 20:49 |
| draik | I can't use Synaptic becaue the font is too small for me to read. Not sure how this is affected with a small font size when all others are set to 28, 32 or 48. | 20:50 |

| Freddy2 | hi | 21:15 |
| Freddy2 | sometimes kde is getting frozen at splash screen, and only allows me to reboot or shutdown | 21:16 |
| Freddy2 | which file can i check to look for the reason? | 21:16 |
| Freddy2 | any kde log file? | 21:16 |
| cryke | hello everybody! | 21:22 |
| cryke | i want kde to mount my harddrive on startup without asking permission. how can i do that? | 21:22 |
| Freddy2 | edit /etc/fstab | 21:23 |
| cryke | and how to do that using kde mount manager? | 21:24 |
| Freddy2 | you mean mounting a static drive partition? | 21:25 |
| cryke | yes | 21:25 |
| Freddy2 | never tried.. the common case is doing that in fstab, as always | 21:26 |
| cryke | ok, i try | 21:26 |
| Freddy2 | depending on the filesystem type you will need different options | 21:27 |
| cryke | i know :) i mount ntfs partition. | 21:27 |
| James147 | cryke: its easiest to use ntfs-config to add ntfs drives to /etc/fstab | 21:28 |
| cryke | i thought that using internal functions of kde i can do that without editing /etc/fstab. | 21:28 |
| cryke | never heard about ntfs-config.. | 21:29 |
| James147 | cryke: it can be done through kde... but ntfs drives require a password to mount them... rather tehn trying to get it to do it without a password its much easier just to use ntfs-config as root | 21:30 |
| Freddy2 | a password? what? | 21:31 |
| cryke | James147: thanx, i understood | 21:31 |
