| Zerobeholder | having VNC troubles with a 'lucid' host and an 'ibex' client. I think the problem is most likely stemming (by my astute expert opinion) from me not knowing much about VNC... Tried running krfb on host and connect via krdc. Then I sudo apt-getted x11vnc which decided to set up shop on port 5901. Neither reachable via krdc. | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| Zerobeholder | Any suggestions? Local home network, nothing fancy. Everything is on 192.168.number.number | 00:57 |
| Zerobeholder | The end result I am looking for is seeing my desktop. I think VNC/RDP (I know RDP is windows) is the way to go. In the mean time I have set up ssh and via the -Y switch have limited GUI viewing. | 01:00 |
| totoro | where are the wallpapers stored when you install them | 01:02 |
| Zerobeholder | Reading here now... http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdenetwork/krfb/index.html | 01:02 |
| totoro | where are the wallpapers stored when you install them , when you right click the desktop and press install new wallpapers | 01:02 |
| Zerobeholder | @totoro find / -name <filename> | 01:02 |
| Zerobeholder | I think that should help you if you know the filename | 01:02 |
| Zerobeholder | --and your hard drive isn't gigantic and full... | 01:03 |
| Typos_King | totoro: checked /usr/share/wallpapers yet? | 01:04 |
| totoro | Typos_King, i'll check that | 01:05 |
| totoro | Zerobeholder, i did that, but it didn't seem to find that, then i did that with sudo | 01:05 |
| totoro | which nothing happened | 01:06 |
| totoro | Typos_King, it's not there | 01:06 |
| Zerobeholder | hmmm... I've never changed my desktop graphic. | 01:06 |
| Zerobeholder | Not sure even where to look. | 01:06 |
| Zerobeholder | sudo find / -name *sunset*.jp* | 01:07 |
| Zerobeholder | assuming that the file was a jpeg with sunset in the file name. | 01:08 |
| totoro | ok i'll try | 01:08 |
| Zerobeholder | The old * and ? wildcards work | 01:08 |
| Typos_King | totoro: another likely spot will be under ~/.kde/share | 01:08 |
| totoro | Typos_King, it is there. thanks | 01:09 |
| Zerobeholder | About the VNC, I'm going to give it an sudo apt-get update then a sudo apt-get upgrade followed by a sudo reboot and see what happens. | 01:16 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 01:17 |
| Zerobeholder | like magic... | 01:22 |
| Typos_King | hehe, yeah | 01:23 |
| Zerobeholder | Well, almost. Now I can connect, but the frame buffer is only letting the cursor image through. No icons or other goodies. | 01:29 |
| Zerobeholder | 100Mbs all by my lonesome should be enough. I | 01:29 |
| Zerobeholder | am going to lower the resolution on the other much nicer machine (aka the host) to the same as my PIV laptop (aka the client). | 01:30 |
| Zerobeholder | Shouldn't matter but for lack of other more educated guesses seems like a good idea. | 01:31 |
| === root is now known as Guest45271 | ||
| Zerobeholder | now I can't authenticate, let's go back up the stairs to see if I entered my password right-- because I've typed it far too many times for it to be wrong on the client side. | 01:47 |
| === AndIrc is now known as Guest87538 | ||
| Zerobeholder | Well, albeit painfully slow I've connected, I can see the desktop with icons and my 'plasmoids', and the mouse seems to work even if not spectacularly. I may not even figure out why the kicker bar isn't showing if I get off my lazy backside and drop some shortcut icons on the desktop. | 01:55 |
| Zerobeholder | So in short. Had to apt-get install the kfrb app on the 'lucid' host, reboot, change to accept uninvited, uncheck approve connections, and set the uninvited password. | 01:57 |
| Zerobeholder | On the 'ibex' client I had to connect via IP address. | 01:58 |

| cato37 | how do i get the network manager to pick up signals from wireless using wep? | 02:24 |
| cato37 | the network manager is only picking up wpa and wpa2. how do i get the network manager to pick up signals from wireless using wep? | 02:26 |
| Zerobeholder | ...use wicd? | 02:32 |
| Zerobeholder | I like it better than network manager. | 02:32 |
| Zerobeholder | If your computer is picking up signals, but not the one closest to it-- you may have a wireless host node problem (your wireless router/accesspoint) may be having issues. | 02:34 |
| Zerobeholder | Can you see it and connect with other computers? | 02:34 |
| cato37 | i can connect to only wireless using wpa and wpa2. the coffee shop that i am at uses wep, and nobody that is wep is showing up. | 02:35 |
| Zerobeholder | So you can see the wireless signal? | 02:35 |
| cato37 | i am probably on someone's unsecured wireless at the apartments next door. | 02:35 |
| cato37 | no. the coffee shop is broadcasting and other patrons are on it. but it doesnt show up in the scans. the sandwich shop next door uses wep and it doenst show up either. | 02:36 |
| cato37 | i connect to about 4 or 5 different places, depending on where i am at. the places that use wep do not show up. | 02:38 |
| Zerobeholder | Did you try making a new connection? | 02:39 |
| cato37 | the barrista doesnt know the router settings. | 02:40 |
| Zerobeholder | Is the shop using 802.11a? | 02:40 |
| cato37 | she doesnt know that either. :( | 02:40 |
| Zerobeholder | 802.11b is not uncommon, 802.11g is more or less the de facto standard these days though. | 02:40 |
| cato37 | it is old | 02:41 |
| cato37 | probably has wood grain finish....jk. | 02:41 |
| Zerobeholder | Is your computer newer (age<2 years)? | 02:41 |
| cato37 | my comp. it's about a year old | 02:42 |
| Zerobeholder | Your computer may not support dirt old hardware. | 02:42 |
| cato37 | it was made to pick up signals in several different countries | 02:42 |
| Zerobeholder | Not everything will connect to 802.11a. | 02:43 |
| Zerobeholder | I bet that is your issue. | 02:43 |
| Zerobeholder | If it is about a year old you probably have n,g, and maybe b compatibility. | 02:43 |
| cato37 | when i was running vista it picked up the coffee shop just fine | 02:44 |
| Zerobeholder | Crap, then it isn't the hardware like I thought. | 02:44 |
| cato37 | the common denominator is the wep. anyone using wep doenst show up. | 02:44 |
| Zerobeholder | Would you like to abandon the 'network manager' package and try 'wicd'? | 02:45 |
| cato37 | i am uncomfortable using an unsecured wife from the apartments next door. | 02:45 |
| cato37 | *wifi | 02:45 |
| cato37 | sure. what is wicd? | 02:45 |
| Dragnslcr | WEP isn't a secured connection either | 02:46 |
| Zerobeholder | I like wicd much better and have it on both my wireless machines. It is an alternative to 'network manager' same purpose. | 02:46 |
| cato37 | apt-get wicd. will i need to kill nm? | 02:47 |
| Zerobeholder | Look around. If you're using WEP any of the people around you could be catching your packets and saving them for later. | 02:47 |
| Zerobeholder | Wicd will automatically set itself as the primary application. | 02:48 |
| cato37 | i know. the coffee shop owner probably doesnt care, and i use it to catch up on school work. | 02:48 |
| Zerobeholder | Be prepared to lose internet access when doing so. | 02:48 |
| cato37 | k. | 02:48 |
| Zerobeholder | sudo apt get install wicd i think | 02:49 |
| Zerobeholder | apt-get | 02:49 |
| Zerobeholder | sorry | 02:49 |
| cato37 | k. bbiab | 02:49 |
| cato37 | well, it is taking some time. the wifi connection must be pretty slow | 02:51 |
| cato37 | i got a fail flag | 02:51 |
| cato37 | doh. i am going to kill nm. bbl. | 02:52 |
| Zerobeholder | Depending on which version you may need to add a repository. | 02:52 |
| Zerobeholder | Using lucid? | 02:52 |
| cato37 | yes. 10.04 lts | 02:52 |
| Zerobeholder | add this repository in your package manager: deb http://apt.wicd.net lucid extras | 02:54 |
| Zerobeholder | then you will need to: sudo apt-get update | 02:55 |
| Zerobeholder | followed finally by: sudo apt-get install wicd | 02:55 |
| Zerobeholder | (Not necessarily now, but you can: sudo apt-get upgrade to update your system to the newest and shiniest files that patch security holes, fix bugs, and possibly add functionality.) | 02:58 |
| Zerobeholder | ? AFK for a few wife needs me. | 03:02 |

| Pavel_ | I have a question about plasma themes in 10.04.. | 03:29 |
| Pavel_ | In Karmic it was easy to change via the plasma toolbox/desktop settings | 03:30 |
| Pavel_ | But now that route only provides wallpaper options... | 03:30 |
| harriseldon | Plasma themes are now part of appearance settings under the workspace tab | 03:32 |
| fayaz | Hi. I have a screensaver problem | 03:33 |
| fayaz | the jiggly mode of solar winds (GL) doesn't work properly... | 03:34 |
| Pavel_ | ah, cheers! | 03:34 |
| fayaz | is there anyway i can get rid of that particular screensaver? | 03:34 |
| fayaz | all others are working perfect... | 03:35 |
| harriseldon | fayaz why do you need to get rid of it? Is it because you have a random screensaver and you want it excluded? Otherwise does it really hurt to be there? | 03:36 |
| fayaz | i want the random mode... | 03:36 |
| fayaz | harriseldon yes i want it excluded... | 03:37 |
| pudil | Akregator - yesterday I started using it (by adding an rss feed). it loaded up about 9 kde & kubuntu feeds. I read some. Today, none of the items I read yesterday are marked as read - everything is unread. Bug, or am I missing a setting? | 03:41 |
| harriseldon | fayaz it seems like you need to move the .desktop file for solar winds to another location to make it seem like it is no longer available. Do you need further help with how to do this? | 03:46 |
| fayaz | harriseldon i want only the 'jiggly' mode excluded from the solar winds screensaver... | 03:48 |
| fayaz | harriseldon i'm using the random mode in solar winds... | 03:51 |
| harriseldon | fayaz now I understand. I am trying to search online to see if I can find anything. I have the ksolarwinds.kss and it is a binary file. | 03:51 |
| fayaz | harriseldon FYI I'm using an ATI radeon... | 03:53 |
| fayaz | had found that its got display problems like these... | 03:53 |
| fayaz | but my problem seems to be only for this particular screensaver... | 03:54 |
| Zerobeholder | Hmm... either cato got on is potentially angry. | 03:55 |
| Zerobeholder | Hope it's the former, I'm a big fan of the wicd networking package. | 03:56 |
| harriseldon | fayaz from what I can tell the screen stores its configuration file in .kde/share/config/ksolarwinds.kssrc and it has only one option for the mode which is just the index of the combo box. It does not look like there is a way to disable just one option from random | 03:58 |
| corebreaker | Hay everyone I have a problem, I'm trying to get rhythmbox to work but when I try to play a song I get this error "The autoaudiosink element is missing" this only happens when i start up google chrome before rhythmbox, but if I start up rhythmbox before chrome I get no sound in chrome, is there a way to fix this? | 03:58 |
| fayaz | harriseldon hmmm thanks for the help anyway... :) | 03:58 |
| harriseldon | fayaz yw, sorry I could not help more. I am guessing that you could compile it yourself without that option, but you would have to fish through C++ code. That is way over my head. | 03:59 |
| fayaz | harriseldon mine too... | 04:00 |
| harriseldon | corebreaker check out this bug for details (it seems like it has a solution as well) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/442157 | 04:11 |
| corebreaker | Ahh Thank you harriseldon | 04:12 |
| harriseldon | yw corebreaker hope the fix works for you | 04:12 |
| corebreaker | Sorry Harriseldon, that didn;t work | 04:25 |
| corebreaker | But I guess I'll keep looking | 04:25 |
| harriseldon | corebreaker are you running rythmbox in kde? | 04:26 |
| corebreaker | yes | 04:26 |
| corebreaker | I have all the Gstreamers installed | 04:27 |
| harriseldon | corebreaker here is another option to try http://www.blograndom.com/blog/2009/11/ubuntu-9-10-rhythmbox-requires-gstreamer-element-autoaudiosink-to-play-mp3s/ | 04:34 |
| corebreaker | harriseldon sorry but that didn't work ether, I think it has something to do with alsa, when I start up rhythmbox first before google chrome it works just fine, its only when google chrome is started first, but if rhythmbox is started first before chrome, chrome doesn't have sound. | 04:47 |
| corebreaker | does anyone have the same problem I have been having? | 04:51 |
| corebreaker | Can anyone help me with this I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 32bit. Okay when I try to play music in rhythmbox nothing happens, this only happens when google chrome or firefox is started first, but if rhythmbox is started first it plays music just fine but then I don't get sound in firefox. does anyone know how to fix this problem? | 05:00 |

| draik | Hello all | 06:32 |
| draik | How do I check the frontend configuration for my audio? | 06:32 |
| noaXess | corebreaker: maybe a pulseaudio problem? what is the default sound system? | 06:39 |
| noaXess | corebreaker: is pulseaudio installed? | 06:39 |
| corebreaker | noaXess I thought the default sound system was alsa in kubuntu | 06:40 |
| noaXess | corebreaker: what about amarok? | 06:40 |
| noaXess | corebreaker: have you tried it with amarok? | 06:40 |
| corebreaker | yes amarok works fine | 06:40 |
| noaXess | so also if firefox/chrome is started.. | 06:40 |
| corebreaker | yes | 06:41 |
| noaXess | and sound in firefox or chrome des work with and without amarok? | 06:41 |
| noaXess | does ^ | 06:41 |
| corebreaker | it works with amarok | 06:41 |
| corebreaker | just not rhythm box | 06:41 |
| noaXess | ok.. so rythmbox problem.. | 06:41 |
| corebreaker | It also does the same thing with banshee | 06:42 |
| noaXess | rhytmbox and banshee are gnome players right? | 06:42 |
| corebreaker | yes thats right | 06:43 |
| noaXess | hm.. maybe there is a gnome lib missing for this two apps.. have you checked log's will running one of them and ff/chrome? | 06:43 |
| corebreaker | umm no, sorry I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to linux | 06:44 |
| noaXess | corebreaker: no rob ;)... | 06:45 |
| noaXess | start konsole | 06:45 |
| corebreaker | okay | 06:45 |
| noaXess | and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog | 06:45 |
| noaXess | then start rhytmbox and after that ff or chrome | 06:46 |
| noaXess | and try playing sound in the browser.. | 06:46 |
| noaXess | and then do it other ways.. start ff or chrome and then rb | 06:46 |
| corebreaker | alright | 06:46 |
| noaXess | in the konsole with CTRL+C you can stop watching to the log.. | 06:46 |
| noaXess | another log is /var/log/messages | 06:47 |
| noaXess | or /var/log/kern.log | 06:47 |
| corebreaker | Alright | 06:49 |
| noaXess | corebreaker: if you see anything that happends while testing sound.. then pastebin it here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 06:50 |
| draik | I'm having issues with my audio not playing via HDMI in Firefox, VLC or Kaffeine. It plays well with Amarok. | 06:51 |

| noaXess | is there any PulseAudio entry? | 06:59 |
| corebreaker | umm no theres no pulseaudio | 06:59 |
| corebreaker | should I install PulseAudio? | 07:00 |
| noaXess | is you installation a fresh one? or upgrade from older kubuntu release? | 07:00 |
| corebreaker | its a fresh one | 07:01 |
| noaXess | i would install PulseAudio and set it to the default audiosystem... also is backend..and will still communicate with your sound hardware.. PulseAudio is the audiosystem that ouput's/record sound.. | 07:02 |
| corebreaker | Alright thanks noaXess =] | 07:03 |

| draik | noaXess: In Firefox and VLC | 07:09 |
| corebreaker | Thank you =] | 07:09 |
| andrej | I also tried twinview which worked for me with basic KDE, but every video player splittet the fullscreen picture to two screens. | 07:09 |
| noaXess | andrej: wait.. check my config. | 07:09 |
| andrej | All I want is the possibility to watch videos on my second screen (which is an LCD TV). | 07:10 |
| noaXess | andrej: thats my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/453238/ | 07:10 |
| noaXess | andrej: and i have no problems to watch eg. mythtv on one screen and work on the other.. | 07:11 |
| noaXess | breakfast time... bbl | 07:11 |
| andrej | The only difference to my failfullscreenconfig is the TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder line. | 07:16 |
| andrej | I'll try it though | 07:16 |

| goodtime | /j #ubuntu-beginners | 07:19 |
| andrej_ | No success. :/ | 07:35 |
| andrej_ | Fullscreen in VLC is again the virtual screen and not any of the real screens. | 07:36 |
| draik | How do I check the audio frontend for VLC? | 07:43 |
| noaXess | draik: what is your main problem? | 07:48 |
| draik | noaXess: I am trying to get audio to play in VLC and Firefox | 07:50 |
| draik | I can get clear audio via HDMI in Amarok, but not in anything else. | 07:50 |
| andrej_ | vlc defaults to alsa and ff to pulseaudio I believe. | 07:51 |
| andrej_ | So VLC open blocks FF. | 07:51 |
| draik | Together or individually, neither play audio | 07:52 |
| noaXess | draik: what about installing pulseaudio? maybe a solution.. i had problem with skype and mythtv and amarok.. with pulseaudio it worked parallel.. | 07:59 |
| noaXess | http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Pulseaudio#Nachtraegliche-Installation | 07:59 |
| noaXess | install pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio and also pavucontrol | 08:00 |
| noaXess | andrej_: have you tested your screen setting over nvidia-settings? | 08:01 |
| draik | noaXess: Thanks. I'll give that a shot | 08:02 |
| noaXess | draik: then you hav pavucontrol or over kmenu "PulseAudio Colume Control" to control sound.. | 08:03 |
| andrej_ | noaXess yes | 08:04 |
| noaXess | andrej_: and if you watch a video in vlc, it will be spanned over both screens? | 08:05 |
| draik | noaXess: kmenu? Do you mean kmix? | 08:05 |
| noaXess | draik: no.. over kmenu.. or better :) kickoff menu of kde | 08:06 |
| noaXess | draik: you need also make pulseaudio to your default audio controler in systemsettings / multimedia | 08:06 |
| noaXess | draik: after that (installation and mae pa as default) reboot your system... | 08:07 |
| noaXess | make ^ | 08:09 |

| metatagg | greenmang0: i'll do a reboot :) sec | 12:13 |
| metatagg | greenmang0: got any tips? | 12:17 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: why did you reboot? | 12:18 |
| metatagg | greenmang0: installed Kubuntu yesterday, and I had some updates to be done today | 12:18 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: hmm | 12:18 |
| metatagg | i've found several threads on the subject, but none of them gives me a good tip of what to do.. -.- | 12:27 |
| metatagg | greenmang0: should I just wait for someone to come up with a fix? | 12:50 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: i think yes | 12:51 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: i didn't find anything useful | 12:51 |
| metatagg | greenmang0 ok, thanks anyway... however... do you know if there's a widget for pointer capture, like in gnome? | 12:51 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: nope.... didn't use gnome for last 3 years or so | 12:53 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: that "synclient" didn't work for you? | 12:53 |
| metatagg | ah. ok :( maybe i'll stick to gnome for a while and then return to KDE when my touchpad seems to work better. :) | 12:54 |
| metatagg | greenmang0: thanks a lot anyways! | 12:54 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: what about synclient command? did it work ? | 12:54 |
| metatagg | greenmang0: no, because the touchpad isnt detected as a touchpad, but as a psmouse (with mac emulation) | 12:55 |
| greenmang0 | metatagg: hmm | 12:55 |
| metatagg | greenmang0: twofinger scrolling works, threefinger rightclick and so on.. | 12:55 |
| metatagg | i can always "sudo modprobe -r psmouse" | 12:56 |
| metatagg | but it seems a bit awkward... | 12:56 |

| zxy_64-2 | hi | 13:30 |
| zxy_64-2 | i need to access phonebook in my gsm telephone and backup/restore it. Is this possible with kubuntu | 13:31 |
| lexr | depends what type of phone is it. | 13:32 |
| lexr | I never succeeded with Lg u880 and Nokia e61 tho. but there are programs like kmobiletools, gnokii, gMobileMedia, Wammu etc | 13:34 |
| zxy_64-2 | currently i neeed it for sony-ericsoon, but i would be interrested in nokia too | 13:35 |
| lexr | look at some of these programs I told you about, try googling name of a program and your mobile phone model and see if it is possibile. all those porgrams should be available in the repos. | 13:36 |
| zxy_64-2 | kk, thx | 13:36 |

| Kamesh_ | Hello all, when I copy and paste code (any code either c/c++ etc..) in gvim or in kate it pastes in a straight line. I dont understand why. Please help me. I am on Kubuntu 10.04 | 13:51 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: you mean the code is re-indented and gets all messed up by this? | 14:00 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch@ exactly, this happens in kate and gvim. I did not try in other ediors though | 14:01 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: in vim, you set paste mode with ":set paste" before pasting. | 14:01 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: probably the same in gvim. in kate, i don't know ;-) | 14:02 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: you'd have to temporarily disable automatic indent | 14:02 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch@ I disabled in .vimrc autoindent and tried it again.. But still it looses all it indentation.. I am trying to copy some code from google code search and pasting it in vim | 14:04 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: i dunno if diasbling auto-indent is enough. haven't tried. | 14:05 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: i have it on and use set paste and i know that this works. | 14:05 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch@ Since the problem is not only with vim/gvim but also kate an dother editors, I presume some thing sinister | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | Torch, the @ doesn't work on irc | 14:07 |
| Torch | BluesKaj: err. | 14:08 |
| BluesKaj | just use the nick | 14:08 |
| Torch | BluesKaj: talking to the wrong people doesn't work either ;-) | 14:08 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: just tried it, pasting works for me in kate with indent mode set to C. doesn't mess it up. | 14:09 |
| Atritas | Hi, all. When opening khelpcenter i was used to having a "Search" tab to search for man pages and/or application manuals, which seems to be missing since i upgraded. I'm also unable to (re)build a search index (button greyed out). I already deleted the old index directory and did check for htdig. Any suggestions? | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | Kamesh_, maybe a code chat might be more suitable | 14:10 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch@ I tried with indent mode set to C in kate.. it still does not work and I loose the indeentation | 14:11 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: what kde version are you using? | 14:12 |
| Kamesh_ | BluesKaj: Could you please expalin what is code chat ? Are you referring to some other IRC channel | 14:12 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch: I am on kde 4.4.2 | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | Kamesh_, yes | 14:13 |
| Torch | BluesKaj: which do you have in mind? | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | dunno , look around | 14:15 |
| Torch | BluesKaj: i'd be very surprised if there was an irc channel dealing with _editor_ issues like this. | 14:16 |
| === cmdln is now known as the_cmdln | ||
| BluesKaj | Torch, true, but it's difficult to find an answer here too. | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | for those kinds of questions | 14:18 |
| Torch | Kamesh_: what are you trying to paste? is that publicly accessible? | 14:19 |
| Atritas | Interesting... When i start khelpcenter from commandline it says something about "no valid search handler found". Can someone please provide me with a paste of his output where the search is working, so i can compare what i might be missing? | 14:26 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch: The problem seems to be resolved now. I have been using opera 10.60 on Linux and when I copy from there it some how messes it up | 14:28 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch: But I have now tried it with google chrome and it works.. Thanks for your help | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | Atritas, try using the run box , alt+f2 | 14:28 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: Already tried that. The problem seems to be some missing library and/or package. The errors clearly state that there is no "search handler" available. | 14:29 |
| Kamesh_ | Torch: and to answer your previous question I was just trying to paste a hello world program found on google code search | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | Atritas, try installing khelpcenter , sudo aptitude install khelpcenter | 14:32 |
| === echidnaman is now known as JontheEchidna | ||
| Atritas | BluesKaj: That package is a dummy package as khelpcenter is no integrated with kdebase. It only includes documentation where to find khelpcenter now and to help with upgrades. But anyway... Same phenomenon. | 14:34 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: Do you have a directory called: /usr/share/kde4/apps/khelpcenter/searchhandlers ? | 14:36 |
| === Luukje|Afk is now known as Luukje|Game | ||
| Atritas | Just wondering... Has anyone a working Search in khelpcenter in Lucid ? According to the changelog i just found it seems to have been disabled on purpose?! | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | Atritas, mine works ok | 15:16 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: Interesting. New install or Upgrade? | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | new install, Atritas | 15:17 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: ok, then i'm really out of ideas... I presume you do have the above mentioned directory? | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | Atritas, I have /usr/share/kde4/apps/khelpcenter, but no searchhandlers | 15:20 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: darn :-/ | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | Atritas, I imagine the search handler is an option in the app after it's opened | 15:21 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: Could you please post the output of khelpcenter on STDERR when starting it from konsole. There _should_ be a few lines regarding SearchHandlers. | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | yeah Atritas , khelpcenter opens ok , the terminal shows this line too, khelpcenter(3278) KHC::SearchEngine::initSearchHandlers: "No valid search handler found." | 15:24 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: *argh* | 15:25 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: that was my last straw.... | 15:25 |
| BluesKaj | wonder why that is :( | 15:26 |
| Atritas | BluesKaj: Ok, another idea... Could you do a "dpkg --get-selections" and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ so i can check you have any "maybe relevant" packages i don't have? | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | Atritas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/453408/ | 15:31 |

| BluesKaj | moldy, for ethernet connections , it's not a difficult setup with network/interfaces...make sure you have your gateway and IP addresses listed under portmap in /etc/hosts.allow , like this : ALL:192.168.X.X | 17:46 |
| moldy | BluesKaj: hm. i have removed network-manager, edited the interfaces file. which services do i need to restart now? | 17:48 |
| moldy | it's still using the dhcp config :( | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | ani_age21,sorry I'm sticking with the stable kde , sO have no experience with kde4.5 problems , maybe #kde can help | 17:48 |
| ani_age21 | ok | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | moldy, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or sudo dhclient...usually the latter will stick after closing a session , but I haven't needed to use either one . | 17:50 |
| moldy | BluesKaj: i think i fixed it now... had to kill dhclient and run ifup eth0. weird. | 17:54 |

| James147 | sorind: the application menu is just a widget, it can be placed like any other widget and acts like any other widget... just drag it from the "add widget" window to where you want it | 18:56 |
| James147 | sorind: or if you have the "panel settings" window open you can drag it from the panel to the desktop to move it | 18:57 |
