[00:10] <Torch> amichair: one is a plasmoid, the other an application to live in the systray
[00:12] <amichair> Torch: does the plasmoid work with hidden ssids? (I know the -kde doesn't)
[00:12] <amichair> will the app be deprecated by the plasmoid upstream?
[00:35] <vbgunz> is KDE 4.5 RC located at ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta OR will the RCs get another ppa?
[00:35] <Riddell> vbgunz: it'll be in that beta PPA, not sure of the current state
[00:37] <vbgunz> I sort of trust the RCs and considering 90% of the focus is on stability Im tempted to try it out
[00:37] <vbgunz> kdebase-bin is at 4:4.4.90-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1
[00:38] <vbgunz> not sure if you can tell if its a beta or rc
[00:47] <daniel_> hi how can I update from Kubuntu 10.04LTS to Kubuntu 10.10?
[00:48] <daniel_> i would lke to not download the .iso.
[00:48] <daniel_> like***
[00:49] <Typos_King> hehhe
[00:49] <Typos_King> the update may not go as smooth though
[00:49] <daniel_> thats ok with me
[00:50] <Typos_King> you can always do a -> sudo apt-get distro-upgrade;
[00:50] <daniel_> through the konsole?
[00:51] <Typos_King> yes
[00:51] <daniel_> i am still learning kubuntu and linux in general. I switched to linux 2 years ago as my main os.
[00:52] <Dragnslcr> dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade your system to a new release
[00:52] <amichair> I don't think apt-get dist-upgrade does distro upgrades anymore (it used to)
[00:52] <amichair> there's 'update-manager -d' though
[00:53] <daniel_> so what is the new command for kubuntu?
[00:53] <Dragnslcr> If there even is an alpha of 10.10 yet, you can get support for it in #ubuntu+1
[00:53] <daniel_> there is an alpha 1 right now.
[01:08] <Scunizi> in the last 6 years I don't remember dist-upgrade doing release upgrades.. only software version upgrades ie packages within the currently running system and only if there were available through normal repository sources.
[01:09] <Scunizi> *there=they
[01:42] <poet> apt-get dist-upgrade is a well-known mis-named command, and the aptitude has changed its name into full-upgrgade.
[01:43] <poet> In ubuntu we should use do-release-upgrade to do the release upgrade.
[02:29] <ner0x> Is there a place I can put the source .deb files and dpkg will recognize them?
[02:56] <DarthFrog> ner0x:  It doesn't matter where you put them.  "sudo dpkg -i <debfile>" will install them.  Otherwise, have a look at /var/cache/apt/archives.
[03:45] <ner0x> DarthFrog: It attempts to download a firmware file and I do not have internet to that machine.
[05:59] <Guest79137> hey
[06:12] <wes> hello all
[06:13] <wes> anyone still up?
[06:16] <Vegeta> me
[06:16] <wes> Im looking for a little help with pyshell
[06:17] <Vegeta> i cant help
[06:17] <wes> aight, thanks anyways
[06:17] <SandGorgon> does anybody know how I can get BCI (font hinting compiler) enabled in Kubuntu 10.04 ? doe I need to patch and recompile ?
[06:24] <Cay> Has anyone in here successfully gotten twinview to work with a laptop on 10.04?
[06:25]  * bono waves hello
[06:27] <bono> hello
[06:30] <Cay> hiya
[06:31] <Cay> you wouldn't by chance have gotten twinview to work with nvidia and 10.04 have you? :P
[06:32] <bono> no
[06:39] <moetunes> isn't there a gui thing for setting twinview on nvidia cards?
[06:41] <moetunes> Cay: http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8178/README/appendix-g.html - for setting twinview
 Cay: http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8178/README/appendix-g.html - for setting twinview
[06:48] <Cay> bono, I've tried that, no luck
[06:49] <Cay> it seems as though it will detect one monitor or the other (the laptop LCD or the HDMI connected LCD) but not both at the same time :(
[06:49] <Cay> but thanks man
[09:15] <cuco> i just installed kubuntu and checked the encrypt home dir option. how do i enable or disable it?
[09:16] <cuco> i want to move my /home/ dir to another partition and I want to know how to do this
[09:39] <ArGGu^^> cuco I dont know about the encryption, but to mount /home to another partition you must edit the /etc/fstab file.
[09:40] <cuco> ArGGu^^: yes. i know how to do this, but i don't know if i will break the system, since it expectes an encrypted dir, or how to re-enable the encryption
[09:53] <ArGGu^^> cuco I dont think that fstab has anything to do with the encryption so it should be safe to edit it.
[09:53] <ArGGu^^> * I think
[09:55] <ArGGu^^> wait I think or I dont think xD
[09:55] <ArGGu^^> Well anyway it should be safe to edit it. That is what I think.
[09:57] <ArGGu^^> cuco but It is good thing to backup everything from your encrypted /home
[09:57] <cuco> also important to understand how the ecryption stuff works

[11:29] <simion314> hi, if xorg crashes, is it writes any data in some logs? /var/log/Xorg.0.log has only startup info, i want to find what triggers the crashes  because are very random and happen only in KDE
[11:58] <apparle> simion314: I think there is an old Xorg log also, which might have data of the previous crash. Check for yourself
[12:01] <simion314> apparle: the Xorg.-.log.old contains only startup info also, maybe it crashed so hard that it had no chance to write something
[12:02] <simion314> it happened when pressing keys, when switching desktops or ctrl tab in firefox
[12:02] <apparle> simion314: maybe,
[12:02] <apparle> simion314: try to reporduce it exactly
[12:03] <apparle> simion314: is your gfx card capable enough to render all effects, do you have correct drivers
[12:07] <simion314> apparle: it works perfectly under gnome, and i use open source drivers for ATI, it is imposible to make it happen, i tried to reproduce it
[12:07] <apparle> simion314: which card
[12:07] <simion314> i am thinking to try disabling KMS or upgrading my xorg to the newest version
[12:08] <simion314> apparle: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[12:08] <apparle> simion314: I also have RC410 :P although I have Radeon Xpress 200
[12:09] <simion314> i am thinking that is not related with video, it always happened when pressing CTrl+F1-F4 or ctrl+tab
[12:09] <simion314> apparle: do you have KMS enabled?
[12:09] <apparle> simion314: I always run it with KMS disabled, I don't get graphics at all if I don't disable the effects
[12:10] <simion314> apparle: i will try it disabling KMS, just it is hard to understend how to corectly edit grub
[12:10] <apparle> simion314: do you want to disable it permanantly or just for one boot
[12:11] <ionut> hi, does any of you knows how can i install some effects for compiz??
[12:11] <simion314> i know how to do it for one boot,
[12:11] <simion314> just that now grub is configured diffrently and at every kernel install the menu is regenerated
[12:11] <apparle> simion314: what do you add ? "radeon.modeset=0"?
[12:12] <simion314> apparle: does your laptop resume from sleep?
[12:12] <simion314> i add nomodeset
[12:12] <apparle> simion314: its a desktop and it doesn't
[12:12] <apparle> simion314: don't do that, just disable the KMS for graphics
[12:12] <simion314> apparle: same here, tried the new xorg 1.8 in arch with KMS enabled and nothing, i think it will never happen
[12:13] <simion314> 2nomodeset does more then radeon.modeset=0?
[12:14] <apparle> simion314: nomodeset means KMS is disabled for everything. but radeon.modeset=0 means only for the radeon driver
[12:14] <apparle> simion314: for the timebeing lets make it permanant
[12:14] <apparle> simion314: edit the file "/etc/default/grub"
[12:16] <simion314> apparle: next..
[12:16] <apparle> simion314: change the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"" to "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.modeset=0""
[12:17] <apparle> simion314: basically add radeon.modeset=0 to that variable
[12:17] <apparle> simion314: then in konsole do sudo update-grub
[12:17] <simion314> thx
[12:17] <apparle> simion314: check my launchpad profile, I'm subscribed to some bugs you might be interested in
[12:18] <ionut> hi, does any of you knows how can i install some effects for compiz??
[12:19] <apparle> ionut: on kubuntu?
[12:19] <simion314> apparle: is the clock plasmoid in the bar looking ok on your KDE, mine is cut,is missing some parts from the edges and only in kubuntu, in arch with kde it looks fine on the same laptop
[12:20] <apparle> simion314: I'm on vacation so I can't confirm
[12:20] <simion314> ok, thx for all
[12:21] <ionut> apparle: on ubuntu
[12:22] <apparle> !info compizconfig-settings-manager | ionut
[12:24] <ionut> apparle: i have installed compiz config but i want some other effects (like the one , the window that burns out when you close it)
[12:29] <simion314> onuthi
[12:30] <simion314> ionut: hi
[12:30] <simion314> you need to install the compiz-plugins-extras and compiz-plugins-unsuported or something like that
[12:32] <ionut> simion314: hi
[12:33] <simion314> ionut: i told you above that you must install all plugins packages
[12:33] <simion314> ionut: from Romania?
[12:33] <ionut> simion314: yes
[12:33] <white_mouse> hello
[12:34] <ionut> simion314: all plugins, i don't know how
[12:34] <white_mouse> how to fix gtk fonts under kde 4.4.2
[12:34] <white_mouse> to look better
[12:34] <white_mouse> or qt fonts under kde
[13:13] <louis_coke> hi
[13:37] <slow-motion> hi
[13:39] <amichair> hey slowmo
[13:43] <mime2> hello, anyone knows a way to upgrade from jj 9.04 to kk without comiting changes in audio, i mean, dont upgrading it? thnx
[13:46] <KukuNut> !pin
[13:48] <mimetype> hello, anyone knows a way to upgrade from jj 9.04 to kk without comiting changes in audio, i mean, dont upgrading it? thnx
[13:48] <amichair> mimetype: ^^ I think the answer above was for you :-)
[13:48] <mimetype> sorry didnt see it due to connection probs
[13:49] <amichair> !pin | mimetype
[13:49] <mimetype> ok!
[13:49] <mimetype> so i select only the kde and thats all?
[13:50] <amichair> mimetype: I never used it myself, but I think you need to pin the specific packages that you don't want to upgrade
[13:50] <amichair> and everything else gets upgraded normally
[13:51] <mimetype> thnx, my prob is that i dont want audio disappear when headphone pluged, and in kk once pluged build in speakers are muted
[13:51] <mimetype> thnx
[13:51] <amichair> mimetype: is it that way in lucid too?
[13:51] <mimetype> i dont know
[13:51] <amichair> it sounds like the kind of thing that should be configurable somewhere...
[13:51] <mimetype> i think the only version is in jaunty j. 9.04
[13:52] <mimetype> but others consider it a bug
[13:52] <mimetype> yeah...
[13:53] <amichair> I can only guess that you'll have much larger problems trying to hand-pick old versions of stuff in an upgraded distro
[13:53] <mimetype> yeah, maybe live it that way,
[13:54] <mimetype> thank u both ppl
[13:54] <mimetype> i wish u are fine
[13:54] <mimetype> cya
[14:07] <geemee> hey folks.. I have a requirement to monitor temperature of a room. I was looking online on ebay and there is cheap USB sensors availible. Anyone have experience of these?

[14:40] <Ites> thanks
[14:44] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[14:44] <adrianx77> hello guys
[15:38] <kim> Hello everyone.... I am eager to begin writing documentation for Kubuntu. How do I start?
[15:40] <aaron_> i'm in need of help anyone available
[15:41] <amichair> !ask | aaron_
[15:41] <aaron_> can't seem to find out how to access my windows PCs shared folders on Kubuntu
[15:42] <amichair> kim: try asking in #kubuntu-devel to see where the help is most needed and how to go about doing it... thanks!
[15:42] <amichair> aaron_: are you using wubi? or dual-boot system? or over network?
[15:43] <aaron_> home network
[15:46] <aaron_> so far i have tried smbclient -L MEDIA (media name of my PC )
[15:46] <aaron_> Connection to MEDIA failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)
[15:47] <amichair> aaron_: in dolphin, if you go to smb:/windowsboxname/sharename, what happens?
[15:48] <aaron_> timeout on server
[15:48] <amichair> aaron_: also, did you check that it's accessible from another windows box?
[15:48] <aaron_> i tried ip & name same result
[15:49] <aaron_> i'm able to view on both PCs on my windows 7 laptop
[15:49] <aaron_> when i''m on kubuntu it doen't work
[15:53] <amichair> aaron_: are all boxes configured using the same workgroup name?
[15:54] <aaron_> don't know how to change on kubuntu but yes all of my windows installs are
[15:54] <amichair> aaron_: I think it's in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[15:55] <amichair> aaron_: maybe this will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149
[16:01] <aaron_> thank aimchair i'll just give up trying it's not going to work for me linux is too difficult to use
[16:02] <amichair> aaron_: some parts are, some parts aren't. I moved from windows a couple years ago, and I find the benefits outweigh the drawbacks
[16:03] <aaron_> it pretty fustrating for me using linux when i just want to do the simplest thing right now access my music library
[16:03] <amichair> aaron_: actually, if I'm not mistaken, better samba integration out of the box is on the feature list for Kubuntu 10.10
[16:03] <aaron_> i'll dab into some linux books
[16:04] <amichair> aaron_: or, wait for someone more knowledgable than myself to come here :-)
[16:04] <amichair> aaron_: I also had a quirk or two getting sharing with winxp to work, but now it all works well. So there's a way - it's just a matter of finding it :-)
[16:04] <BluesKaj> aaron_, open the run command , alt+f2 , kdesudo kate /etc/hosts.allow , add a line , portmap then directlunderneath list all the IP  adresses on your network like this, ALL:192.168.x.x
[16:05] <aaron_> thanks again Amichair i'm going to have to learn linux one way or another since my major is Computer Science
[16:07] <BluesKaj> aaron_, also install openssh-server
[16:07] <amichair> BluesKaj: can u explain that one?
[16:08] <amichair> I remember needing to install samba, smbfs, bind...
[16:09] <Hazamonzo> Hey folks. I
[16:09] <aaron_> thanks Blueskaj but what is openssh for ?
[16:10] <Hazamonzo> Ive been having issues with my ATI drivers but and learned to live with it. I thought i would try to remove and reinstall the drivers again recently. See if that changed anything and it actually did. I got the composition running again and those lovely wobbly windows.
[16:10] <BluesKaj> amichair, having a ssh connection is beneficial , it gives you access via the cli to other pcs on the network and also if configured properly gui and remote access as well
[16:10] <Hazamonzo> I restart yesterday and the composition it switched back off and the desktop graphics are running poorly again
[16:10] <Hazamonzo> how can this happen? And how might i got about debugging the issue?
[16:10] <BluesKaj> !ssh | amichair
[16:11] <Hazamonzo> So gutted to have it working for 5 minutes then fail again. It just shows me that it IS possible to get this working nicely
[16:12] <Hazamonzo> The only thing i did that i can think of was enable my desktop over two monitors
[16:12] <BluesKaj> Hazamonzo, did you try installing a proprietary ati issue driver ?
[16:12] <amichair> BluesKaj: oh, I know and use ssh... I was wondering how installing it might help accessing a windows share
[16:13] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: I did indeed sir. This is the driver i removed and reinstalled recently
[16:13] <Hazamonzo> And it did give me great graphics for about 5 minutes :)
[16:15] <BluesKaj> amichair, I assumed ssh was going to be accessing other linuxboxes , but smbclient accesses windows pcs better than ssh due to that clunky putty app which I found useless on vista and w7
[16:16] <amichair> oh, ok. aaron_'s problem was accessing a media share on a windows7 box from kubuntu. Any thoughts on how to help him?
[16:17] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: If you are interested this thread pretty much sums up the same problems i have (same card and same problem) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1436328
[16:17] <Hazamonzo> This is why i decided to remove and reinstall my dribver just in case it did work. And it did initially
[16:17] <aaron_> thats my problem
[16:17] <BluesKaj> amichair, but using the hosts.allow to list the pcs on the network helps your networking clients find the right IP addresses .
[16:20] <amichair> wow, just found out a cool shortcut - clicking on a window thumbnail on the taskbar makes the window minimize/restore :-)
[16:23] <amichair> BluesKaj: I got the win name resolution working by installing bind and adding "wins" to the "hosts:" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf. It's worth a shot anyway :-)
[16:23] <amichair> aaron_: ^^ you can try that
[16:24] <aaron_> thanks everyone :)
[16:24] <amichair> aaron_: and make sure in /etc/samba/smb.conf you have workgroup = <the right workgroup name in caps>
[16:24] <aaron_> check
[16:25] <amichair> hmmm... that was winbind, not bind
[16:28] <Tup> hi folks
[16:29] <Tup> i've got the following problem
[16:29] <Tup> running ubuntu 10.4 server
[16:29] <Tup> behind a cable modem
[16:29] <Tup> the dhclient doesn't use the broadcast address for a DHCPREQUEST but the dhcp-server address directly
[16:29] <Tup> and the isp dhcp server doesn't allow this ...
[16:30] <aaron_> tried temp mount & got mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
[16:30] <Tup> after some time the dhclient falls back to use the broadcast address and everything is fine ...
[16:30] <Tup> any ideas ?
[16:30] <BluesKaj> Hazamonzo, maybe your xorg.conf isn'tsaving the changes and reverts when you reboot. Try this http://www.pastebin.ca/1891158
[16:31] <amichair> aaron_: u mean u tried smbfs mount? in any case, that error is quite strange
[16:31] <aaron_> i know
[16:32] <Hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Okay. 2 minutes
[16:32] <aaron_> this really sucks oh well i'll keep trying another time thanks for your help guys
[16:32] <amichair> aaron_: sorry I couldn't be of more help... good luck next time :-)
[16:35] <BluesKaj> aaron_, I access my windows pcs by using the network option in dolphin, using add network folder , this creates a shortcut to shared windows folders
[16:35] <aaron_> can you walk me through your settings?
[16:36] <BluesKaj> ok, open dolphin and choose network
[16:36] <aaron_> name server folder
[16:37] <BluesKaj> aaron_, choose add network folder
[16:38] <aaron_> ok now do i select the obvious Microsoft Windows network drive or other options
[16:39] <BluesKaj> yes aaron_ depending the OS , for windows the Microsoft Windows network drive is best
[16:40] <aaron_> can you give me a example of your settings i tried with name Music Server: MEDIA Folder:Music
[16:40] <mfraz74> Is there way to install Kubuntu onto a computer so that I can give it to someone and they are asked for username etc when they turn it on?
[16:40] <BluesKaj> now , make sure you do this for each windows pc
[16:41] <aaron_> my HTPC name is Media share folder name is Music
[16:41] <DarthFrog> mfraz74: Yes.  It's one of the install options when you first boot the CD.  I think it's labelled OEM or something like that.
[16:41] <amichair> mfraz74: I think the OEM installer would do that
[16:41] <mfraz74> is that on the alternate install cd?
[16:41] <BluesKaj> aaron  I would choose the C drive or the Documents foldere so you can acces everything
[16:42] <DarthFrog> mfraz74: Sorry, don't know more than what I told you.  I know it's possible but have never done it.
[16:42] <aaron_> ok folder on my windows pc D:\Music do i enter the same
[16:42] <amichair> mfraz74: I think both. in the boot menu, search the options (press F6 or f4 or something like that) and look for OEM
[16:42] <mfraz74> DarthFrog: thanks
[16:43] <mfraz74> amichair: can i pre-install packages with it?
[16:43] <DarthFrog> mfraz74: I'm fairly sure that it only does a generic install.
[16:43] <mfraz74> ok
[16:43] <BluesKaj> aaron_,D:/Music , not sure i just use my windows C
[16:43] <adilalpman> hi all
[16:44] <mfraz74> just thought it would be nice to be able to have things like digikam, firefox etc already set up
[16:44] <adilalpman> is kubuntu 10.10's default sound base is pulse or alternatively we can use it?
[16:44] <aaron_> for server do i type name MEDIA or IP
[16:45] <adilalpman> i am talking about maverick alpha
[16:45] <amichair> mfraz74: yes, you basically enter a session as oem user, customize the system to your liking (including installing packages or anything else), and when you're done there's a command you run that finalizes the installation. on the next reboot, the user gets the customized system with a customized installer - this is useful for creating custom install images, etc.
[16:45] <Martiini> Does anyone know  ... who maintain kpackagekit ... it still does not work
[16:45] <BluesKaj> aaron_, IP
[16:45] <mfraz74> amichair: thanks for that, will have to give that a go :)
[16:45] <amichair> mfraz74: found it - https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuOEMInstaller
[16:46] <aaron_> i tired Unable to connect to server. lol this is rich linux hates me
[16:47] <BluesKaj> aaron_, use the pc name as it appears on your windows login
[16:47] <aaron_> same error msg
[16:49] <BluesKaj> aaron_, list what you entered, pls
[16:49] <adilalpman> can anybody answer me?
[16:50] <BluesKaj> adilalpman, try in #ubuntu+1 , it's the maverick chat
[16:51] <adilalpman> hýmmm
[16:51] <adilalpman> ok blues
[16:51] <adilalpman> thnx
[16:54] <BluesKaj> aaron_, do you still want help , if so maybe some one else can ...I have stauff to do ..I"ll be back later
[16:54] <aaron_> i gave up
[16:55] <aaron_> for now atleast
[16:55] <mfraz74> amichair: thanks for that link, will have to take a look
[16:55] <amichair> mfraz74: it's not entirely up to date, but I hope you'll find your way from there :-)
[16:56] <mfraz74> amichair: yeah, i doubt it will be that much different in 10.04
[16:56] <mfraz74> i've got a couple of computers i'm going to put it on

Fortunately Amarok is playing very well. Kindly sugges

[17:17] <ionut> how can i set priviledges to a partition to read/edit/modify by anyone?
[17:18] <ganeshp> hi amichair: I have loaded the system settings->multimedia.  it is showing a set of nvidia devices.  How do I configure them right?
[17:19] <ganeshp> btw i noticed a test button over there and clicked on it. I can hear the sound.  Even Amarok works just fine.
[17:19] <amichair> ganeshp: move them up and down and use the 'test' button :-)
[17:19] <amichair> so move the device that works to the top of the list also for 'video' and/or other categories
[17:22] <ganeshp> amichair: thank you so much. I got it now.
[17:22] <amichair> ganeshp: you're welcome :-)
[17:56] <ganeshp> amichair: I tried all the steps you had mentioned. But still unable to play sound from VLC, online radio and few others. Dont know why :(
[17:58] <totoro> where sound doesn't play at all except from the login sound?
[17:59] <ganeshp> totoro: Sound does not play in my VLC player, flash related websites such as farmville at facebook and other onlne radio stations.  It use to work fine in my previous karmic amd64.  But Amarok and login sound working fine
[18:00] <ganeshp> and dragon palyer can also play sound without any issues
[18:01] <ganeshp> currently I am using Kubuntu Lucid AMD64 desktop with Nvidia Geforce 7100 / nForce 630i card
[18:05] <totoro> i've had that problem too, not sure how to help
[18:07] <ganeshp> totoro: no issues.  thanks.
[18:07] <totoro> oh, it's gone?
[18:08] <ganeshp> no no.  I meant I will search for solution elsewhere :)
[18:10] <Iggy__> @ionut - dont set permissions at the partition level, set the permissions at the directory/file level
[18:11] <twoten> is there an easy way to upgrade from Kubuntu karmic to Ubuntu (gnome) 10.04?
[18:12] <twoten> or do I have to download and burn the iso?
[18:13] <bazhang> twoten, install the package ubuntu-desktop
[18:14] <twoten> before the upgrade or after?
[18:14] <twoten> I guess it doesn't matter
[18:14] <bazhang> not really
[18:15] <Torch> twoten: after the upgrade will save you downloading old packages only to update them.
[18:15] <amichair> twoten: it will be less to download if you do it after
[18:15] <twoten> excellent! good news for my girlfriend's laptop!
[18:15] <amichair> does the /tmp folder get erased on reboots?
[18:16] <Torch> amichair: at least it should
[18:16] <twoten> I think there's a switch for that, so it's an option
[18:18] <ganeshp> I am unable to run kmix software. I read it from internet that using kmix I can fix my sound relatd issues. Can anyone help?
[18:19] <maco> kmix is the volume thingy in your panel and can change the volume
[18:19] <twoten> hit alt-f2, type in kmix and go
[18:20] <ganeshp> thanks maco

[19:20] <Alan502> Hi! I have two monitors and connected to a NVIDIA graphics card but kubuntu says i don't appear to have multiple monitors
[19:20] <Alan502> so i can't use my second monitor
[19:20] <Alan502> can somebody help me?
[19:22] <dmatt> smajluse: try #ubuntu-cz
[19:22] <DarthFrog> Alan502: What video driver are you using?  You might need to use the Nvidia proprietary driver.
[19:22] <Alan502> DarthFrog, i just installed the lastest, 256, since i thought that was the problem
[19:22] <DarthFrog> Alan502: And the control program doesn't see two monitors?
[19:23] <Alan502> DarthFrog, in karmic i could set up my second monitor with the nvidia-settings utility but it doesn't seem to work on lucid
[19:23] <Alan502> DarthFrog, kde system settings doesn't, nvidia-settings does
[19:23] <DarthFrog> Alan502: Sorry, I'm of no further help to you.
[19:24] <Alan502> DarthFrog, the weird thing is that my second monitor is technically active, but its only black and when i move my cursor over it my cursor becomes x-shaped
[19:24] <Alan502> DarthFrog, ok thanks :D
[19:26] <DarthFrog> Alan502: I found this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Configure_Dual_Monitors_with_nVidia
[19:26] <Alan502> great! let me check it
[19:31] <lokpest> how do I connect to network if I dont have access to dhcp?
[19:31] <pvandewyngaerd> set the configuration manually
[19:32] <DarthFrog> lokpest: You can configure your network interface manually.
[19:32] <lokpest> DarthFrog: yeah, but how...
[19:32] <lokpest> I tried and failed
[19:32] <DarthFrog> lokpest: Do you know the IP address you want and the IP address of the gateway?
[19:32] <DarthFrog> Do you know the IP address of a DNS server you can use?
[19:33] <Hazamonzo> Hey folks. I have a file with an unknown extension type (name) How might i tell Kate to use XML syntax highlighting for this new extension type?
[19:37] <pvandewyngaerd>  for one file you can set it in tools > highlighting
[19:37] <SilenceMessiah> hi zusammen
[19:41] <pvandewyngaerd> configure kate > editor component  > open/save > modes & filetypes >       create new one ?
[19:41] <pvandewyngaerd> and then make your file always open with kate ?
[19:43] <Hazamonzo> pvandewyngaerd: Hey there. Yeah i can set it to XML on a ad-hoc basis
[19:44] <Hazamonzo> pvandewyngaerd: But it would be nice to associate the hightlighting with the extension type
[19:44] <twoten> what is nepomuks and why does 6 of them appear and hog my cpu up to 99%?
[19:44] <DarthFrog> !nepomuk | twoten
[19:45] <Hazamonzo> twoten: Is some indexing madness i think. Best to switch it off. Or at least thats what i did
[19:45] <twoten> would love to, how do I kill this alien leech?
[19:45] <Hazamonzo> hehe
[19:45] <Hazamonzo> goto settings, advanced
[19:45] <Hazamonzo> and its there i think
[19:45] <DarthFrog> Nepomuk (and virtuosos and Strigi) are part of the KDE semantic desktop.
[19:45] <Hazamonzo> you can edit its settings and stop it from running on boot
[19:47] <pvandewyngaerd> Hazamonzo: yes you can find these settings as i described earlier to associate your new extension to xml highlighting in the settings  > configure kate
[19:49] <Hazamonzo> pvandewyngaerd: Ahh sorry i missed that :)
[19:49] <Hazamonzo> pvandewyngaerd: Been a long day :)
[19:51] <Hazamonzo> pvandewyngaerd: http://imagebin.ca/view/Cm-3aOu.html thats what im thinking. Not working though
[19:52] <pvandewyngaerd> if you load the  cda file in kate ? or if you click to open ?
[19:53] <Hazamonzo> pvandewyngaerd: i click to open (already associated .cda file tyes to open with Kate)
[19:53] <Hazamonzo> tried to open via Kate and the fiel menu. Same behaviour
[19:53] <Hazamonzo> dang, gotta have me dinner. Back in 15
[19:56] <pvandewyngaerd> Hamanzo: try adding .cda to the list of extensions already opening with xml
[20:06] <pvandewyngaerd> and make sure everything you added before is not confusing kate any more
[20:16] <Ahox> Hi, can I change the partition type without having to reformat the partition?
[20:16] <pvandewyngaerd> ext2 -> ext3 -> ext4 ?
[20:17] <Ahox> My problem is that I formated a partition as ntfs but its type is 83 - linux. In this case windows does not recognize the partition
[20:17] <DarthFrog> Ahox: Cute.  Do you have a backup?
[20:17] <Ahox> DarthFrog,  no, its a 2TB disk...
[20:18] <DarthFrog> And do you have data on that disk you care about?
[20:18] <Ahox> DarthFrog,  yes, kind of, as in sucks if it get lost, but I won't jump out of the window kind of importance ;-)
[20:19] <DarthFrog> Then go ahead and change the partition type.  You _should_ be OK.
[20:19] <Ahox> actually let me try it on a disk image...
[20:25] <Ahox> DarthFrog,  looks good, the data is still there
[20:26] <DarthFrog> Glad to hear it.
[20:38] <Guest74687> un saluto a tutti
[20:38] <Pici> !it
[20:46] <Torch> Ahox: not a problem, just change it in fdisk.
[20:47] <Torch> Ahox: ah, you did it already. fine.
[20:57] <Hazamonzo> Dang it. I want to use kate as my simple editor but it doesn't like me. When i edit the plugins and enable Tabs. then apply and close
[20:57] <Hazamonzo> its not there when i reopen
[21:31] <lokpest> wow! knetworkmanager can only conect with dhcp and not use static ip?
[21:31]  * lokpest reading all this bugs I found whe googling
[22:01] <dodo_duck> hello all, i am using universal usb installer v1.6.5 to create a 4gb persistant image on my usb drive, but when i touch a file in my /root dir and reboot. The file is gone. I dont seem to have any persistance.
[22:11] <kaddi> hi what plugin do i need to be able to watch divx in firefox? the vlc-plugin isn't really working all that well
[22:12] <pvandewyngaerd> have you installed the kubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[22:12] <kaddi> yes
[22:13] <kaddi> !dvx
[22:16] <kaddi> hmm any other suggestions?
[22:17] <kaddi> the video is playing fine, i would just like to get some control buttons so that i can stop the trailer for a while, until i get a buffer so that it isn't always stoping on me
[22:20] <kaddi> on a different note anyone here know the clementine project?
[22:21] <kaddi> porting amarok 1.4 to qt4?
[22:24] <solidturtle> hi, does anybody can tell me how do I install gcaldaemon deb package in lucid?
[22:33] <Freddy2> hi
[22:33] <Freddy2> am i wrong, or kde 4.4.5 is in repos?
[23:01] <nerdy_kid> is it possible to get this lovely config part in systemsettings? http://www.packagekit.org/img/kpk-settings.png
[23:05] <Hazamonzo> hey folsk. How can i find information on the graphics driver im using?
[23:06] <nerdy_kid> Hazamonzo lspci -k | grep -A 5 VGA
[23:09] <Hazamonzo> nerdy_kid: Thank you :)
[23:09] <nerdy_kid> :)
[23:18] <Hazamonzo> oooooooooooo
[23:18] <GreydonSquare> hey guys
[23:18] <Hazamonzo> So im trying to debug my ATI woes
[23:18] <Hazamonzo> I can't seem to get decent composition working
[23:19] <Hazamonzo> but just recently i removed my FLGRX driver and reinstalled it
[23:19] <Hazamonzo> If i do this then composition works great
[23:19] <GreydonSquare> that problem sounds like it would eat MY problem
[23:19] <Hazamonzo> but... if i enable my second monitor (dual screen)
[23:19] <Hazamonzo> the compositions stops functioning
[23:19] <Hazamonzo> and my desktop graphics become really sluggish
[23:19] <GreydonSquare> is it a virtual setup?
[23:20] <Hazamonzo> GreydonSquare: lol. Sorry?
[23:20] <Hazamonzo> GreydonSquare: Just a regular install buddy
[23:20] <Hazamonzo> Right now im sitting with working composition with twin monitors setup (default)
[23:21] <Hazamonzo> im p[retty sure if i enable dual screen i have to restar
[23:21] <Hazamonzo> and then the graphics lag again
[23:21] <GreydonSquare> oh ok cool, i JUST got into linux so im trying immerse myself in linux chat and information. I installed a VMware fusion version of Kubuntu and Ubuntu,
[23:21] <Hazamonzo> and no composition
[23:24] <slow-motion> n8
[23:28] <daedaluz> Hazamonzo: phoronix forums are the best place to look for others with fglrx problems, check it out. I switched to nVidia, that's the best solution, frankly
[23:31] <Hazamonzo> daedaluz: Yeah i used to have a nvidia card. Thought i would give ATI a bash
[23:31] <Hazamonzo> silly mistake :)
[23:31] <Hazamonzo> Just seems a shame that im sitting here right now with full composition, just need to enable dual monitors and im all set :)
