BluesKajScunizi, I setup my network pc/lan thru dolphin/network /add network folder00:07
ScuniziBluesKaj: I can do that but the samba service doesn't start on boot.. I have to manually start it each day00:07
Scuniziie.. sudo service smbd start00:08

jcapincHowto: static IP address on Kubuntu?  Wicd does not work propperly.... 10.0400:09
jcapincanyone? please?00:10
BluesKajjcapinc, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html00:10
ScuniziBluesKaj: I must have more issues.. I can map a shared drive on my kubuntu box from a windows vm in vbox but I can't see/get to the windows vm from kubuntu.. access denied.. I also can't get to the shares on the kubuntu box from an Ubuntu laptop.. This all worked on 9.10 then I did an upgrade (failed) then fresh install and reconfigure.00:11
jcapincIs KNetworkmanager such a failure that I need to hand-configure my static ip address?00:11
Scunizijcapinc: I've no issues with wicd and a static ip00:12
jcapincWhen I disconnect, wicd will not reconnect, its is a regular, nothing special ethernet setup00:12
nobarkingjcapinc: use knemo00:13
Scunizijcapinc: wired or wireless?00:13
jcapincwired ethernet00:13
BluesKajScunizi, check your /etc/hosts.allow file , under portmap list your IPs like this : ALL:192.168.x.x00:13
nobarkingjcapinc: sudo aptitude install knemo00:13
sergioputoo00:13
BluesKajBBL...00:13
sergiobbl?00:14
jcapincnobarking, should that replace knetworkmanager, or work along side it?00:14
sergiono00:14
nobarkingjcapinc: it'll work along side00:14
jcapincexcellent00:14
ScuniziBluesKaj: ok.. added that.  That type of permission is also part of the smb.conf file00:15
nobarkingjcapinc: to get the latest version use this PPA just for knemo: https://launchpad.net/~darcio53/+archive/darcio00:15
nobarkingthe newest version integrates better with plasma00:16
jcapincthere is no place to choose a static UP00:16
Scunizijcapinc: in wicd?00:16
jcapincno, knemo00:16
jcapincnobarking, where and how do I set the static IP?00:17
jcapincnobarking, this is useless, all it does is monitor things, I cannot set any IP address, why in the world did you have me install this00:18
jcapincScunizi, I installed and uninstalled wicd twice, and removed knetwork manager, and left it running with knetworkmanager.  It would not connect through wicd00:19
jcapincI know the daemon was running, but it simply would not connect00:19
jcapincWhy is knetworkmanager such a failure I cannot set static IP address00:20
Scuniziknetworkmanager and wicd do not cooexist together well.. uninstall knetworkmanager and use only wicd.. then create a new connection with it using what you want for a static ip in the range of the subnet on your router..00:20
jcapincI did uninstall knetworkamnager, restarted my computer, and configured it correctly, checked 10 times00:21
nobarkingjcapinc: the best way to set static ip is to edit /etc/network/interfaces00:21
nobarkingknemo is a monitoring tool00:21
jcapincso what was knemo for?00:21
Scunizijcapinc: knetworkmanager and the gnome version are horrible for static IP assignment.. just doesn't work.  I've hand configured and used wicd with good success.. not sure why wicd isn't working for you.00:22
jcapincur running 10.04?00:22
Scuniziyep00:22
jcapincI will try that one more time00:23
Scunizijcapinc: purge knetworkmanager first but make sure you have the wicd ready to go00:23
jcapincbe back, installed wicd, purge kcrapworkmanager, brb00:24
jcapincrestart00:24
BluesKajhe shouldn't have installed wicd , it will conflict with network NI , if he changed the default settings00:30
BluesKajI guess jcapinc didn' t see the url tutorial on staic IP settings in NI00:32
ScuniziNI ?? what's that an abbrivation for?00:33
ScuniziWhy do I have 2 pids for samba (smbd)??00:34
jcapincback, wicd failed, simply wont connect.  Tried with static IP, did not connect, tried regular DHCP, and it came back and said it could not abtain an IP address.  switching to manual because KDE networking = fail00:36
BluesKajjcapinc, did you see the url i posted earlier  , http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html00:38
BluesKajwicd will conflict00:38
jcapincyes, that is the manual approaceh I just said I would be trying00:40
BluesKajjcapinc, if you setup the /etc/network/interfaces file to handle a static IP setting without using network managers like NM and wicd00:41
jcapincis there more to that sentance?00:41
BluesKajyes, uninstall NM and wicd00:42
jcapincwhat do you mean by NM00:42
BluesKajnetwork manager00:42
jcapincu mean knetworkmanager?00:42
BluesKajsame thing00:43

bill___hmmm, I guess not00:55
cato37i tripped over the power cord and unplugged (dead battery) the laptop as it was going into sleep mode. now kubuntu takes a long time to load. is there a way to fix it?00:56
bill___u can set it ip so there is no screen00:57
bill___login scren00:57
bill___screen00:57
bill___I need a new laptop00:58
cato37the other question is regarding wicd network manager and the kde network manager. both keep loading but the kde network manager is greyed out and reads unmanaged. how do i kill it, or unistall it?00:59
bill___use synaptic software manager to uninstall01:00
cato37what is the name the kde network manager?01:00
Typos_Kingcato37:   killall knetworkmanager01:00
BluesKajcato37, wicd and NM conflict , use one the other but not both, usually if wicd is installed NM is removed automatically01:00
bill___KPackageKit01:01
BluesKajsynaptic is good , I prefer it01:01
Typos_Kingcato37:    you can always use 'qps', which is like a visual 'top' :), it list the processes as well as kill and other stufff01:01
bill___knetwork Manager works in 10.0401:01
Typos_Kingworks also on 7.1, just crummily :P01:02
bill___yeah I used wi-cad prior to 10.0401:02
bill___works well enuff01:02
Typos_Kingnot as good as gnome's I'm afraid01:03
bill___they are kind of the same01:03
Typos_Kingyeah, but gnome's NM is much more reliable and simpler UI01:03
bill___true, I guess I like the eyecandy stuf in KDE01:04
cato37i like the knetwork manager but it has bugs. it freezes in "unmanged" mode when i put the laptop to sleep, and when selecting from various wifi services doesnt allow one to cycle thru to select another one (like at the coffee shop or airport).01:04
bill___what version of kde r u using01:04
cato3710,04 lucid lynx01:05
Typos_King.. I use kubuntu, but I use gnome's NM, the install is just 2.3mbs in files01:05
bill___hmmm mine works okay01:05
cato3710,04 lucid lynx lts01:05
bill___what do u mean by unmanaged mode01:06
bill___ahhh okay I seee, when u put it to sleep01:08
bill___sorry, downloading some debugging tools01:08
bill___so no help on text to speech?01:10
cato37reHello01:20
_CommandeR_hi guys, anyone knows how to get wubi working on a raid partition?01:21

thechrisMy main apps are still firefox, vim, and some media player.  and ISE.08:27
pinkeye224what is ise08:28
thechrisits a development suite for fpgas.  really I mainly care about the CLI tools.  but it does use as much RAM as you can provide.08:29
pinkeye224not too big into dev08:29

jeremyAnyone know if I can reinstall kubuntu with some file backup?09:08
=== jeremy is now known as Guest64214
Guest64214As in, can I save my firefox settings (bookmarks mainly) and music/documents/pictures and reload the rest of my 10.04 install?09:08
AtritasGuest64214: If your home directory is on its own partition, just don't touch it. If it is, just do a backup of the entire directory.09:12
Guest64214atritas, I have an external drive for backing things up, i was just wondering if it'd be possible to go around it..09:14
AtritasGuest64214: Only if you use the advanced installation method and tell it that it should not touch the existing partitions and data on it (overwrite).09:16
Guest64214atritas, how can i set up a partition for my home directory?  And then how would I integrate it into the clean install?09:16
AtritasGuest64214: So if you have a seperate home partition its not a problem at all, if you don't an you reinstall you will have unneccessary data left over from the previous installation, which *could* mess with the new installation or lead to "interesting" effects.09:17
AtritasGuest64214: During a fresh install you can either let the installation routine setup harddisk partitions for you (which result in one big root partition if i remember correctly) or you do it manually. Then you can specify partitions an their desired mountpoints. Once you have your home directory in its own partition you won't have trouble with upgrades or new installations anymore (up to a point that is :-) ).09:19
Guest64214alright, wish me luck haha09:21

tma_hello!09:44
arush_hello09:48
arush_how i insatll game on kubuntu 10.0409:48
tma_Tell my how to configure dug through a proxy. I'm using kde 4.4.4. I also have the opportunity to register http \ https proxy and socks proxy. Where exactly is prescribed socks settings KDE?09:49
tma_I dont have SOCKS On tab Proxy Servers.09:50
tma_Tell my how to configure KOPETE ;) through a proxy.09:50
Atritastma_: Kopete doesn't support proxying by itself.09:51
tma_Atritas:  oh.... on 3.5 is work :(09:53
Atritastma_: afaik Kopete did never support proxying.09:54
tma_Atritas:  thanks :(09:54
Atritastma_: The only chance you have (had) is defining a global proxy for all KDE relevant stuff in the system settings.09:54
Atritastma_: mabye Kopete honors them, but frankly i don't know for sure.09:54
tma_Into global proxy missing tab for socks proxyng09:55
tma_Atritas: Into global proxy missing tab for socks proxyng09:55
Atritastma_: The downside ofc is that just about everything started within KDE will try to use that defined proxies.09:55
starslightshello, intressting, kopete support proxy though socks, that's sure but the problem i have it's that it leak DNS , that's the only one problem so far :/09:55
Atritastma_: well, then you're out of luck here... Pidgin supports all of them out-of-the-box, if you don't mind switching.09:57
Atritasstarslights: sorry, but i can't find any socks related settings within Kopete. Do you socksify it via dante maybe?09:57
starslightsyeah, right pidgin don't leak DNS but the problem are that it freeze a lot :(09:57
Atritasstarslights: never froze for me in the past 5 years.09:58
tma_Atritas: Yes, I know. But I wanted to use KDE programs :)09:58
starslightsok, go in your preference, account, after menu "connection" do "activate server mandataire"09:58
starslightschoose http or socks5 ;)09:58
starslightsthat's all :P09:58
starslightsmaybe i need report that DNS resolving bug while kopete are really a great client at many point09:59
starslightsAtritas:  i use Tor and have lot of connections, maybe that's the reason10:00
starslightsi must say that i don't have tried again from a couple months ...10:00
Atritasstarslights: seems i'm blind. still can't find proxy settings here besides for file transfers which are no "real" proxy connections.10:01
starslightsit's named by me in French "serveur mandataire" in English it must not a big difference and their not many option ..10:02
starslightsAtritas:  i am sure that all connections get into my proxy , so i don't really get your point ...10:03
tma_starslights:  Oh :),10:03
Atritasstarslights: no point at all. just curious because i was convinced that kopete doesn't have any proxy options.10:06
tma_Atritas: starslights: Thanks!!!10:07
Atritastma_: Thanks have to go to starlights only :-)10:07
starslightsi think that it was the cas on previous release, that's was i used pidgin , now i hope that there will fix the DNS resolving and it will perfect :D10:07
starslightsyou are welcome _:D10:07
tma_ bb :)10:07
Atritasstarslights: what's your version of kopete now?10:08
starslights1.0.010:08
starslightsbut i can be wrong, i am on linux only from 1 and half year now :D10:09
Atritasstarslights: AH, NOW i found them. seems Kopete supports proxying almost everywhere, just not where i looked (ICQ) :-)10:09
starslights:)10:10
Atritasstarslights: sad... almost thought i could finally switch. well...10:10
starslightsgreat, be happy that you can use it like you want :P10:13

BluesKajHowdy folks13:26
bordeneven though some of you may believe that this is a "beginners' issue" please have a closer look at the dependencies of this package http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/krita whose version is "2.1.2" and then enable lucid-backport as told on http://www.kubuntu.org/news/koffice-2.213:52
bordenThe thing is... "krita 2.2" forces us to install packages like "kpresenter" and "kspread" (which wasn't the case with the "krita 2.1.2") should I open a bug report on launchpad for the latest krita package to be repackaged with better dependency policies ?13:52

tasslehoffDual-booting Win7 and Kubuntu, would the following partitions make sense? 1. W7 - NTFS 2. / - ext4, /home - ext4, /data - ext3, the latter ext3, because then I can mount it as ext2 from W7 and share media between the operating systems.18:53
zustasslehoff,  great nic!18:54
tasslehoffzus: thanks :)18:55
zustasslehoff,  the kender right?18:55
tasslehoffzus: yep.18:56
zustasslehoff,  i dont knpow about the patitions,  but i only have one os installed..18:59
tasslehoffzus: since W7 comes with the pc I'm buying, I figure I'll let it have a small corner of my harddrive just in case I want to play with it sometime :)19:01
zustasslehoff,  (for games)19:02
zusbut i got a dropbox account  so filesharing is easy19:02
zusfor somethings19:03
tasslehoffzus: Yeah. The main share-object for me would be photos, I suspect. last time I checked, Adobes sw did a better job postprocessing my raw-images than Digikam did. Also I'm a bit curious, so I sometimes like to take a look at what's happening on the dark side ;)19:05
tasslehoffanyway, gotta go.19:05
zusis anyone having problems updating and upgradeing  in kubuntu with security and gpg?19:06
cato37i am satisfied with what gnu-linux-kubuntu lucid has to offer--a bit buggy but easily solved and not nearly as bad as the nightmare vista was to install and operate (a crash per month). one last question before i permanently take the plunge. there is no way getting around needing to use ms onenote for collabrative brainstorming with my workgroup. i dont want to dual boot vista with linux 'cause vista crashes like clockwork. should run wine19:13
cato37 or is there a virtual machine that might do the trick for just running onenote; or is there an open source alternative to onenote?19:13

cato37zus: Microsoft Office OneNote is a software package for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration. While OneNote is most commonly used on laptops or desktop PCs, it has additional features for use on pen-enabled Tablet PCs, in environments where pen, audio or video notes are more appropriate than an intensive use of keyboards. The current version is Microsoft Office OneNote 2010. In late 2009, Microsoft released the beta19:24

fkeferhi all!19:28
fkeferi just recently tried to put kubuntu on my work PC, only had a Ubuntu CD though, so what i did was install ubuntu and post-installed the kubuntu-desktop package19:29
fkeferthe machine is a Acer TM6592, graphics is a Radeon HD 2400XT19:30
fkeferproblem is: as soon as i first start KDE, the graphics turn _really_ slow19:30
fkeferand i mean _really_ slow, i can not possibly work that way19:30
fkeferAND: even when i log back into gnome again, the graphics settings are broken19:30
fkefersame slowness19:30
fkeferi can't even remember how i could get rid of this, gnome is OK now19:31
cato37everyone in the group uses ms because they feel they have to, for things like illustrator, and onenote, but between gimp, inkscape, and blender (and a circuit design prog that escapes me), all the bases are covered and they are more than what we need.19:31
cato37bbiab19:32
fkefercato37: i don't need the other apps, i'm familiar with the linux ones, i grew up with them; might be different for an marketing agency where people's always been working on photoshop (which is different than gimp...) and illustrator19:32
cato37the only thing we really would need training on is how to avoid, or translate .ai files.19:33

blekosy?20:17
blekosi use 64 for that reason20:17
blekoshopefully kubuntu will consume the same amount of energy so my laptop can last for a bit20:18
BluesKajblekos, ok you may benefit from 64 bit , anything under 4G doesn't really get any faster with 64 vs 3220:18
blekosgot an i5 and using virtualbox as well. So I've chosen ext4 as well20:19
blekoswhatever I get is welcomed :)20:19
blekosthe only thing I always hated is the menu gets messed up20:20

amichaira bit off topic, but anyone know how to delete a trailing newline in the last line of a file with vi?23:25
mbazdellHi all.. I have a rather interesting issue. I just install 10.04 x86 Alternate. Everything worked great. Then I turned off my computer, turned it back on, and I can't get eth* to be created. Under /sys/devices/* I can see eth0 coming up for slot 02:0c, lspci|grep 02:0c shows me my NIC (8254OEM Intel Pro 1000) and lsmod shows e1000 is loaded. Also dmesg|grep e1000 shows me it finds the card, assigns it eth0 and still nothing in /de23:31
tsimpsonamichair: I don't know if there's a specific way to do that, but you can use 'dd' in command mode while on the line to remove it23:31
mbazdellideas?23:31
amichairtsimpson: that would delete the line, I'm trying to delete the newline char (0x0a) at the end, and just can't find a way to do it...23:32
mbazdellI'm thinking it has soething to do with udev but I'm not sure. I tried removing the udev rule for net that is automatically generated and then rebooting, yet still nothing23:32
tsimpsonamichair: if there is a newline char, it would start a new line23:33
mbazdelloh an /dev/.udev/db/ has net:eth023:33
tsimpsonmbazdell: why do you need it in /sys/devices?23:33
mbazdelltsimpson: I don't. I just checked there to make sure the system sees it properly23:34
tsimpsonmbazdell: see if there is a link in /sys/class/net23:34
mbazdelltsimpson: there is23:34
tsimpsonshould link to some PCI resource23:34
tsimpsonthen it's there :)23:34
amichairtsimpson: I see the newline in okteta, so it's definitely there (and causing me trouble). vi doesn't let me go to the line below because there's nothing there (or... dunno why)23:34
mbazdellmy thinking is that udev just isn't making the device in /dev for some reason, and not giving any error or log about it23:35
tsimpsonmbazdell: it shouldn't make it in /dev23:36
tsimpson/dev is not the right place for a network interface23:36
mbazdelltsimpson: ahh.. been a while since I've used Linux23:36
tsimpsonexcept maybe virtual devices23:36
mbazdellused to be /dev/eth023:36
mbazdellthat means I've been barking up the wrong tree then... hmm23:37
tsimpsonwell I have no network devices listed in /dev, and my network is working fine23:37
tsimpsonand I haven't see anything in /dev about networking for years23:38
mbazdellokay.. hmmm23:38
mbazdellif I do `sudo dhclient eth0' it works23:38
mbazdellbut I can't do ifup even though it's specified under /etc/networking/interfaces23:39
tsimpsonwhat error do you get?23:39
tsimpsonany why not use network manager?23:39
mbazdellignoring unknown interface eth0=eth023:40
mbazdellnetwork manager doesn't list any network interfaces23:40
tsimpsonif it says that it means it's not set to configure eth023:40
tsimpsonso something in /etc/network/interfaces is wrong23:40
amichairtsimpson: to test - open a new file in vi. press 'i', 'a', <enter>, <esc>, 'dd'. now the file consists of 'a' and 0x0a... how would you erase the 0x0a?23:41
mbazdelloh knetworkmanager doesn't load.. not sure why23:41
mbazdellI'm using the stable repositories23:41
tsimpsonamichair: I don't see that, when I press 'dd', I only have one line with 'a'23:42
amichairtsimpson: ':wq' then hexdump the file... do u see it?23:42
amichairor ':set list', and the $ is there23:43
tsimpsonI just see "a$"23:44
amichairthe $ is a newline character :-)23:44
amichairI'm trying to get to a a-byte file containing only 'a'23:44
tsimpsonyeah, I noticed23:44
amichairs/a-byte/1-byte/23:44
amichairbtw is there a cli equivalent of okteta? an editable hexdump?23:45
tsimpsonamichair: odd, vi must automatically append a new-line. 'echo -n a > foo' gives a file with only 'a', but vi still shows 'a$'23:47
tsimpsonsame with nano23:47
mbazdelltsimpson: thanks for the pointers.. I was able to figure out where the problem was23:52
mbazdelltsimpson: turns out knetworkmanager had a stale pid file.. deleting that bad boy and rebooting fixed it23:52
mbazdellwhich is why knetworkmanager kept failing to start and get everything working23:53
mbazdellthanksa lot!23:54
amichairtsimpson: just found a (bizarre) solution: use the commands ':set binary' ':set noeol' and then write the file, and the final newline is gone. of course, next time the file is edited, the newline returns. hrm.23:54
