[00:03] ... [00:07] so. how does one change the resolution in kubuntu? [00:07] in fact even better [00:07] how does one get people to talk [00:13] audio and mic stops working on my dv5 laptop and the only way to get it to work is to restart, how do i fix that [00:15] darko3d: have you tried in Konsole the command "alsamixer"? [00:16] yeah i get a an audio panel [00:16] now what [00:17] raise up all level [00:17] how do i do that [00:17] with arrows [00:19] well they're all at the top [00:19] 100 [00:19] then esc === slashdot is now known as slashdot81 [00:19] now what [00:20] this is so weird, its not a driver problem if it works after reset,right? [00:21] darko3d: sudo alsa force-reload <-- will keep you from having to reboot [00:21] its still just a workaround not a fix...but better than rebooting [00:22] ok that fixed it [00:22] but i dont have to rely on that forever [00:22] cause it seems to me that every since i switched to ubuntu i've been loosing functionality day by day [00:23] can you find a pattern as to when things stop working? maybe after youve used flash? [00:24] i cant use kde anymore cause no keyboard and i use the screen keyboard at the login page, then the mouse stopped working for a while and now this [00:24] or after a suspend/resume? if its that, then itd be a driver problem almost certainly [00:24] O_o [00:24] no nothing like that [00:24] been using skype actully then i hung up [00:24] 10 minutes later i get a call and it stops [00:24] is it always after using skype that it stops working? [00:25] skype and flash both do ... odd... things to the audio apis in linux [00:26] no not just skupe === aperson is now known as APERSON [00:26] i could stop working and leave the workspace for a while and then come back and find the audio not working [00:29] whats the command to reconfigure kde to get the jeyboard to work [00:31] i dont know... thats not a normal thing to have to do [00:31] sounds like youre hitting some weird bugs [00:31] this is hardware or a vm? [00:31] hardware [00:32] and the keyboard doesnt work in kde but does in gnome? [00:32] yeah [00:32] and doesnt work on the login page [00:32] maybe try sudo dpkg-reconfigure consolesetup [00:33] sorry thats console-setup === basile is now known as guillom [00:38] ok guna restart and see what happens [00:44] maco it worked [00:44] im in kde now [00:44] yay! [00:44] i cant thank u enough [00:44] ive not heard of that bug hitting actual hardware before :-/ [00:44] and the login screen worked too [00:44] ive only seen it in VMWare [00:45] oh, its a known bug [00:46] yes but its *only* known as affecting vmware...and its marked fixed [00:46] bug 548891 [00:46] :( [00:46] ubottu: bug 548891 [00:47] hrmph [00:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/548891 [00:48] well all i know is that it really messed up my experience, its the first time i use ubuntu as my main os [00:48] please file a bug with: ubuntu-bug xorg-server [00:49] yeah i had a nasty surprise with it on vmware. only reason i know that bug existed [00:49] kk, will do [00:49] and there was no onscreen keyboard in kde 4.4 so the fact that kdm has a way to reach a text login is the only thing that saved me [00:49] thanks guy\girl === joseph is now known as cannonfodder [00:50] well at one point i had the mouse stop working [00:51] hi all [00:51] so i had to look up how to fix that on my cellphone and do it from the console [00:52] honestly im taking a big hit in my productivity rate, but im hoping that i'll earn good experience and at one point have everything ironed out [00:54] hallo [00:57] allo [01:39] sup [01:54] Hello there, So I have a question I got Dell Wireless Card 1397, from what i'vve researched I needed a "bcmwl-kernel-source" so installed that from repository... My Wireless is now showing unable to "activate" [02:00] bigleon: have you tried the Hardware Drivers tool under the System menu? I think it needs the b43-fwcutter to enable this broadcom based card in more recent *buntus [02:01] claydoh Yeah thats actually trouble shooting step i've arrived to. [02:03] is that a BCM4312 card? [02:03] Claydoh it appears that the driver has been "activated" but wireless can't scan for SSID's [02:03] stabares i'm honestly not sure [02:04] try this on a console: lspci | grep BCM [02:04] BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [02:05] when i installed b43-fwcutter i had some problems with the mirror [02:05] Oh, do you have a working solution? [02:05] it's the same as mine [02:05] let me see... [02:06] Insprion i1764? [02:06] no, a dell here [02:06] Dell insprion i1764.. lol... [02:06] inpsrion i1764 is laptop model [02:06] ah [02:07] an xps 1530 [02:07] Ohh nifty... yeah i'm running 17" insprion Flavor :D save thousand dollars on the name. [02:09] OH i know where problem lies, 64bit vs 32bit :D [02:09] apprently different drivers for each with broadcom [02:10] hmm, how do you find wich files belongs to a package? [02:10] i edited the mirror in a script, but i don't remember where it was [02:13] well I went to broadcom website... and they got a nice lengthy process where i need to recompile it all my self [02:13] i found it [02:14] Oh? [02:14] try this on the console: /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh [02:14] usr change that to my root username? [02:15] i'm getting no such file/directory [02:15] sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter [02:15] do that then [02:16] "this aptitude does not have super cow powers" error msg O-o [02:16] ? [02:17] nvm now it's working lol [02:17] same error as b-4 no directory [02:17] sorry i realized problem eithernet keeps unplugging [02:17] so it told me it installed with no data. [02:17] bigleon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:18] that should automatically download the firmware for you [02:18] Yeah i belive it did so [02:19] Let me attempt a reboot see if that helps. [02:19] then you can reload the b43 module, and wireless should work [02:19] sudo rmmod b43 [02:19] sudo modprobe b43 [02:19] easier than rebooting :) [02:19] Mod b43 does not exist in proc/mod [02:19] proc/modules** [02:19] did you change the kernel? [02:20] Not to my knowledge... [02:20] try the modprobe line [02:20] modprobe? [02:20] OH gotcha one sec [02:20] sudo modprobe b43 [02:21] okay not sure what did... [02:21] if all is right wireless should start working now [02:22] well apprently all is not right yet... let me reboot ultimate failsafe. [02:24] Now i think that did it... just need a good ol fashion reboot === Nul is now known as Guest28294 [02:25] i stand corrected it seems i can activate my wireless now... but i can't seem to scan down the network [02:26] there it goes reset the adapter...

[06:50] server* [06:50] it is a cli app yes? [06:53] Quick QUestion i'm in wireless driver hell and apprently there one command fix is "sh: for i in `find /lib /var -name wl\.ko`; do mv $i ${i}.orig; done" unfornately when trying to do this command i get a "syntax error near unexpected token `do' " [06:55] bigleon: looks like the do is in the wrong place - comes after the for a in b; [06:55] Oh ji'm using the latest release of kubuntu 10.4 (up to date) [06:56] so it should be "sh: for do i in `find /lib /var -name wl\.ko`; mv $i ${i}.orig; done" instead? [06:57] Sorry this stuff is very confusing for me i haven't messed with linux in a long while [06:58] bigleon: no - sorry the script seems ok except I never use the {} around a variable [06:58] well then what would cause the syntax error? [06:59] like in ${i}.orig - just $i.orig [06:59] maybe the wl\.ko - is that meant to be wl*.ko or ... [07:01] I did the base with a sudo command to make sure it wasn't a permission error and i get "bash" syntax error near unexpected token do" [07:02] It would appear i laged out ifyou had responded to my question if it made it well_laid_lawn [07:03] I replied I attempt taking out {} as well as orginal and still get the syntax error. [07:04] bigleon: checking it in cli atm - one min [07:04] alright. [07:09] any luck? [07:10] bigleon: for i in `find /lib/var -name wl*.ko`; do mv $i ${i}.orig; done works here [07:11] I'm having wireless problems, Kubuntu Lucid. [07:11] My wireless connection shows in NM but I can't load it. Everytime i click on it it gets clicked but nothing happens [07:11] I don't need the sh: ? [07:12] Lightning: seems most people end up installing wicd atm and disabling knetworkmanager [07:12] Okay. [07:12] bigleon: I never need it [07:12] I'll try it. I can still scan, but can't connect [07:13] I tried "for i in `find /lib /var -name wl*.ko`; do mv $i ${i}.orig; done" and got same syntax error [07:13] Lightning: I've never used wireless - I'm the wrong bloke to ask [07:13] does running kubuntu using wubi have anythign to do it. [07:13] Okay [07:13] bigleon: you have a space in the path - /lib /var [07:13] Lightning atleast you can see the networks. Lol I'm having wireless hell trying to get the driver up so i can see the network [07:14] well with out a space i get "find: `/lib/var': No such file or directory" [07:14] bigleon: it doesn't exist here either [07:14] and then when i have space.... i get a syntax error... [07:14] the orginal code has a space... [07:15] tells alot about the original code bigleon [07:15] What card do you have bigleon? [07:15] *sigh* yeah well_laid_lawn but i went strait to the "Offical" source... i was hoping of all people they'd have it right... [07:16] is there anyways i can manually go and do what code is attempting to do here this this discrption "Ubuntu ships a version of wl.ko, so those need to be disabled. On my [07:16] system the were several versions, so I searched and renamed the .ko's [07:16] like this:" [07:16] and then the code as previously mentioned [07:16] LIghting i have a Dell Wireless 1397 [07:17] bigleon: are those .kos in /lib? [07:17] well_laid_lawn I honestly don't know... [07:17] I just did what the readme told me to do. [07:18] bigleon: try for i in `find /lib/ -name wl*.ko`; do mv -v $i $i.orig; done [07:19] a guy for me in other channel just randomly gave me the solution "find /lib /var -name wl.ko -exec sh -c 'mv -v "$1" "$1.orig"' _ {} \;" [07:19] I'm gonna try a reboot and "hope" driver is up and running [07:23] alright...

[16:20] !konqueror [16:21] cato37, how do you mean slow , compared to what other browser ? [16:22] compared to firefox. i like the idea of using konqueror as an a part of the integrated system, but it takes up to 20 to 30 seconds to load most pages [16:23] firefox loads right away, or at the most may take about 5 seconds or so. [16:25] cato37, ok dunno why that could be , but I've given up on FF and konq id quick enuff but too much trouble to configure, so I've switched to chromium-browser , which is faster than anything else IME [16:26] cato37: Konqueror is really slow. Stop using it ;P [16:26] cato37: FF is very nice. But I found Chrome to be just awesomely fast on Kubuntu [16:27] * Torch notes that konqueror (with khtml) may have some issues, but speed is generally not among them. [16:27] Not on Windows. But on Kubuntu, Chrome just runs too fast for FF to follow. However, extensions still suck when you're talking web-development compared with FF... So it's a different purpose, different use ;P [16:27] I have a naive question: where to report a bug in Lucid with the network management applet? The binary is called "knetworkmanager" I believe, but the package by that name seems to be something unrelated. [16:27] i like the sync options in chrome/chromium between computers...very cool [16:28] i am not as concerned about fast as i am about security, but konqueror is very slow on this system, andi was wondering what might be the cause to fix it. [16:28] BluesKaj: use Xmarks to sync not only all computers, but all browsers ;P [16:28] cato37: there's something wrong with your setup then [16:28] network-manager-kde , andy__ [16:28] Aha, network-manager-kde, thanks BluesKaj [16:28] or networkmanager-kde [16:29] Are they different? Yikes [16:29] no [16:29] what should i do about the setup? [16:30] cato37, setup? [16:30] When I typed that into launchpad it said the package is called "plasma-widget-networkmanagement" [16:31] regarding the very slow conqueror speeds. 30 seconds to load pages vs. firefox taking about 5. [16:31] launchpad ? [16:31] *konqueror [16:31] Is that not where I should be? I want to report a bug in Kubuntu [16:31] andy__: there's a plasma widget for network manager and a systray program. [16:31] X is leaving with with a black screen.. [16:32] why there ? unless you want to report a bug that's already been reported a thousand times [16:32] Does anyone know how to boot into runlevel 3 ? [16:32] OK, where should bug reports on Kubuntu go? [16:33] kubuntu is a bug, they hacked kde to death [16:33] launchpad is correct andy__ , but it's pretty redundant at this point [16:34] Heh! I have to say, that sort of matches the impression I got by looking around in there... [16:34] But Kubuntu on the whole works pretty well so I figured they must have _some_ good infrastructure for dealing with bug reports [16:35] andy__: all they can do is forward bugs to the application author [16:35] I see... Well, that is part of my trouble -- I don't really know what the "upstream" is for this particular gadget [16:35] andy__: bugs.kde.org [16:35] The thing I am talking about is the systray icon that handles wireless network management [16:36] andy__, replicating your konqueror issue could be very difficult sibce it also acts as afile manger and can be configured in so many diffewrent ways . [16:36] Oh, it is part of the regular KDE? I actually had not realized that, for some reason I thought it was a custom Ubuntu thing. [16:36] andy__: it started out as a custom suse thing, iirc. [16:36] err sorry i mean't cato37 [16:36] Aha, I see. OK, so maybe kde.org is the place to try. Thanks! [16:38] ic. is there a way to set everything in konq to defaut, or "reinstall" it somehow in order to get it to load webpages in a timely manner? [16:41] andy__, if you are using network manager for an ethernet connection then removing it is safe if you decide to follow this tutorial to avoid using NM altogether by using /etc/network/interfaces ,http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [16:42] BluesKaj: Hmm. I am using it for wireless, so I guess I don't have that option... [16:42] Actually I am basically happy with it, there are just a couple of bugs, which seem as though they should be "trivial" to fix if I can just figure out where the heck to report them [16:43] andy__, well there is a wifi option, but it's rather complicated ...I tried it but couldn't make it work. [16:44] which bugs , andy__ ? [16:45] The main thing that drives me crazy is: When you try to add a new wireless network connection, it pops up a dialog box where you are supposed to enter the info for that connection... But the box is already populated with the info from some OTHER wireless network connection [16:45] You have to close the dialog and open it again... Then it comes up with the info from a DIFFERENT connection... [16:45] Finally after doing this about 10 times, the dialog comes up populated with "New Wireless Connection" as it should [16:46] and then you can add a new connection properly [16:47] Sounds trivial, but when you are traveling a lot, it becomes incredibly annoying. Of course, that is also the time when you are least likely to sit down and figure out where the heck to report the bug [16:48] hmm, i tried that as well with a belkin usb wifi adapter on my desktop pc and it seemed to take forever to find the essid and the finally fail to connect (driver probs) .. andy__ , I know what you mean , NM is very clunky. [16:51] Does anyone, anywhere know how I can log into kubuntu in text mode? [16:51] boot into kubuntu in text mode, that is.. [16:51] I have no GUI.. my screens are black.. I need to get the proper drivers installed. [16:53] andy__: i have the same problem with my nm setup, but only use one connection. thank you for taking the time to report it as a bug. [16:53] nobody loves me. [16:54] solifugus, ctrl,alt,f1 , sudo service kdm stop , then install your driver , then sudo service kdm start , then ctrl,alt,f7 [16:58] BluesKaj: is there a way to set everything in konq to defaut, or "reinstall" it somehow in order to get it to load webpages in a timely manner? [17:00] BluesKaj: ur brilliant.. thanks! [17:00] Finally found the bug in launchpad... [17:01] I added my complaint there [17:01] cato37: maybe you can also mark that you are affected by it? it is #577700 [17:02] andy__: thanks, i will do so. :) [17:04] BluesKaj: it doesn't work.. cannot get to a virtual console.. something worse must be wrong. but it always breaks when starting kdm. === bruno is now known as Guest52459 [17:15] solifugus, a tty is not a virtual console , it's the command line that purists use without a GUI/Desktop environment ...are you seeing the grub menu at bootup ? [17:15] yes.. I see grub fine.. [17:16] I saw gui during the entire install process [17:17] livecd works fine [17:17] actually the screen rapidly dissappears after grub.. not sure when.. but it stick around longer when using the recovery kernel [17:18] all that text flies up the screen really quick.. so it's hard to see what's actually happening. [17:18] solifugus, then it looks like you need the right graphics driver, which graphics card do you have ? [17:18] I found it turns dark when starting kdm, using other distros === joseph is now known as cannonfodder [17:18] It's nvidia [17:18] It's a Dell Precision T1500 [17:18] dual monitor [17:19] 4 cores, 4G ram.. [17:19] Intel [17:20] which nvidia ? [17:20] I googled a lot.. [17:20] let me go back into the livecd so I can do an lspci [17:20] lspci | gerp VGA will give you the card [17:21] sure.. but probably grep would work better than gerp [17:21] although, gerp sounds cuter.. [17:21] err lspci | grep VGA [17:21] :) [17:25] BluesKaj: it just says: 01:00.0 VGA compabitle controller: nVidia Corporation Device 06fd (rev a1) [17:26] It's an Intel Core i5 [17:26] Hi, just a short question. I used in january/february the kubuntu netbook edition but this version was very unstable and buggy. Is there a newer version? === joseph is now known as cannonfodder [17:28] solifigus , were you able to get to a terminal/TTY with ctrl+alt+f1, after booting from the grub menu ? [17:31] BluesKaj: no.. unfortunatelynot.. [17:31] hi, I would like how do I reset my kde session to start a fresh new session? [17:32] solifugus, are you on the live cd still ? [17:32] BluesKaj: I am now.. yes [17:32] in konsole [17:33] solifugus, ok try this in the terminal , sudo lshw -C video [17:33] solidturtle, logout and relogin [17:34] BluesKaj: ok but it saves process if I do like that [17:34] then , reboot [17:35] BluesKaj: ok.. got some vasic information about it.. [17:35] Stupid question, how do I run exe files made for linux? [17:36] we need to know the video card model so we can install the proper driver, solifugus [17:36] Lightning: Just run them. But remember your current directory is not in your path. [17:36] BluesKaj: I think i will tell to kde don't save my session and login [17:37] Lightning, right click on the app/ properties /permissions check the executable option [17:37] tty [17:37] ty* [17:37] BluesKaj: it doesn't seem to say.. just nVideo Corporation... for product and vendor.. description is VGA compatible controller.. width: 64 bits, clock: 33Mhz.. [17:37] stuff like that.. [17:38] It says it's using the nouveau driver.. latency=0 [17:39] I'm getting an error: [17:39] arjun@Firebomb:~/eggdrop$ ././eggdrop-1.6.19 [17:39] Eggdrop v1.6.19+ctcpfix (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2008 Eggheads [17:39] [22:07] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.19+ctcpfix (Mon Jun 21 2010) [17:39] [16:37] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf': [17:39] Lightning: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:39] [16:37] invalid command name "c" [17:39] hello [17:39] solifugus, the nouveau driver is the default with nvidia on live cd , the most likely driver to work with your card is the nvidia-current [17:40] BluesKaj: ok.. any idea how I can get into it, to install that? maybe chroot from the livecd? [17:42] DarthFrog, wouldn't chroot in the terminal while on live cd give solifugus access to the installed OS , so he can install the proper graphics driver ? [17:43] BluesKaj: Any suggestions? [17:44] BluesKaj: Yes. [17:45] solifugus, you can chroot I guess , but I'm not familiar with that procedure , DarthFrog , any suggestions ? [17:45] ok.. I mounted it and chroot'd in to bash [17:45] and did a source /etc/profile [17:46] ok.. need to disconnect so I can give the other computer, the ethernet connection... [17:46] solifugus, looks like you're more familiar with chroot than I am [17:46] BluesKaj and DarthFrog: thanks.. I hope I can do it from here.. (I remember chroot from my gentoo days.. and my linux from scratch fun..) [17:46] solifugus: Have fun. [17:47] solifugus: There's instructions on how to chroot from the LiveCD at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:47] Just page down to the "Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD" section. [17:48] * BluesKaj makes a note to check out chroot-ing [17:48] BluesKaj: a chroot environment is very similar to a BSD "jail". [17:50] ok DarthFrog , whatever that is...BSD has never been a friend to my computers ...fails to install due to hardware probs almost everytime === pamaury_ is now known as pamaury [17:51] BluesKaj: I tried the latest BSD release the other week. First time a BSD install ever failed on me. [17:52] Kubuntu is a better desktop system than BSD anyway. :-) [17:57] yeah DarthFrog , i was just bored with lucid so I thought I'd try to install BSD on a ufs partition to which was almost impossible to format, so just made into ntfs and let the bsd live cd looka after formatting ...i couldn't read my HDD ...errored out several times [17:58] gave up , and made a promise to myself to not listen to the bsd fanatics anymore [17:58] Now that's a strange one. I'd've let FreeBSD make the partition (i.e. "slice") and do all the necessaries itself. I've not had much luck with OS's working with partitions made by other systems. [17:59] well DarthFrog , normally I preformat before an install then i just use the manual partitoning option [18:00] BluesKaj: How about we continue this on #kubuntu-offtopic? === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [18:04] I installed a new sound card, and my old sound card is still listed in System Settings; how would I remove it? [18:07] All I have is ALSA [18:08] Bobperson0: I'm surprised that KDE didn't ask you about removing/forgetting it when you next booted. [18:09] DarthFrog: It has troubles with that, it seems. It used to ask me at random times whether I wanted to forget my primary sound card. [18:09] Bobperson0: You might try System Settings/Audio and Video/Phonon to remove the devices. [18:11] DarthFrog: All I have is multimedia, is that right? (I have 10.04) [18:11] Bobperson0: I'm running the beta of KDE 4.5. The names will probably be different. [18:11] Yeah, Multimedia. [18:11] DarthFrog: Oh, okay. Well in multimedia it greys out the option to remove ;/ [18:11] Can you highlight the device? [18:12] DarthFrog: Nope [18:15] Does sound work? [18:15] Yes; I know it's OCD and.. oh, it just deleted them haha [18:15] that's wierd, all i had to do was reload alsa after starting, i guess [18:15] Well, thanks for the guidance :) [18:16] You're welcome. Have fun. [18:29] hello [18:40] Hi, just a short question. I used in january/february the kubuntu netbook edition but this version was very unstable and buggy. Is there a newer version?

[19:52] Is there 64bit netbook image :S [20:06] ArGGu^^: no, I'm not aware of a 64bit netbook anyway. but you can just install regular Kubuntu and then install the "kubuntu-netbook" package [20:11] tsimpson ok thanks. I just like the interface and was thinking to use it on my htpc. [20:26] How stable are the KDE 4.5 beta packages? [20:27] hello, could someone help me install this? http://repo.or.cz/w/libflashsupport-jack.git [20:27] e_t_: beta quality, so don't expect to be able to use it without things breaking [20:28] tsimpson: I can't upgrade to it without breakage.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:59] hi, I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 (well, actually Ubuntu 9.10+Kubuntu meta package so far) and now I wanted to add the Kubuntu ppa to get the KDE 4.3.5 update [23:00] so I added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu karmic main" to a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and ran "apt-get update" and then "apt-get upgrade" [23:00] is this the wrong way? it does not display any updates [23:00] I already added the gpg key before [23:08] Hello. Is there a way to set 'root' user and 'root group permissions back to defaults in KDE control module, 'User+Group administration'? [23:09] that's in Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid [23:10] Somehow I've changed 'kdeinit4' permission to 'home' user, me, instaed of 'root'. [23:12] geof270: there is no way to reset permissions inside system settings, what error message are you getting or what are you trying to do? [23:14] using apt-get, at very end, after it processes the file, I get a ...kdeinit4 error, unable to access /var/tmp/...files [23:15] geof270: can you post the entire message? (pastebin it if its too long) [23:15] So I don't know if the app has been totally installed correctly, or if this is just an error deleting leftover files [23:16] Let me use apt-get, and try to create one. It will be a few minutes. Thanks [23:25] James147-Maybe I fixed myself(in KDE Control Module-Users+Group AdM, as now, I can't recreate, or get an error. [23:26] But, in addition to a 'root' kdeinit4, running, does a process run by a user, myself, indicate an error(from processes)? [23:33] James147-Here's the error after apt-get completes--- [23:33] kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kbuildsycoca4.so [23:33] (1815)/ KStartupInfo::createNewStartupId: creating: "local33702;1277159026;51678;1815_TIME0" : "unnamed app" [23:33] kbuildsycoca4 running.

I got that from .xsession-errors, and can't recreate the error(?) now. [23:44] Bye
