| Typos_King | afief: sorry, I don't run it myself | 01:28 |
| afief | Typos_King, It's a wonderful piece of software, been using it to organize most of my life | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | heh | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | sooooo | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | well, there are others as well, like basKet | 01:34 |
| moes | Is grub 2...the boot load manager for kubuntu | 01:53 |
| Typos_King | moes: yes | 01:53 |
| bazhang | moes, for which version of kubuntu? | 01:53 |
| moes | bazhang, 10.04 lts | 01:54 |
| bazhang | moes, yep | 01:54 |
| bazhang | !grub2 | 01:54 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 01:54 |
| moes | bazhang, I now have lucid with grub 2 when I install kubuntu along side to I also use the grub | 01:55 |
| bazhang | moes, alongside? why not just install kubuntu-desktop on existing install? then choose from login window | 01:56 |
| amason | bazhang: i was just about to ask that :) | 01:56 |
| bazhang | xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop etc | 01:56 |

| Khaotic | hi | 06:26 |
| Khaotic | i need a vnc client | 06:26 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: there are many VNC clients (and servers) for Linux. KRDC is one I use frequently. It can do both VNC and RDP, and is build on KDE. Wow, that was a lot of acronyms. | 06:41 |
| Khaotic | e_t_: can i vnc to it from my andriod app? | 06:46 |
| e_t_ | Oh, you want a VNC *server* on your computer so that you can connect from your phone. | 06:47 |
| UrielCorinthian | Hi there... Silly question - I'm new to KDE (on Kubuntu 10.04). How do I set the default application for files? Every time I double-click a PDF (or open it from an e-mail), GIMP starts up and I really want Okular to handle it. | 06:49 |
| crazy6 | KDM/X won't start. nvidia graphics card. fixable? | 06:49 |
| maco | UrielCorinthian: right click -> open with -> other | 06:50 |
| maco | UrielCorinthian: pick okular in there and check the "remember" checkbox | 06:50 |
| UrielCorinthian | maco - I've done that though... | 06:54 |
| UrielCorinthian | It still seems to reset it... | 06:54 |
| UrielCorinthian | Plus - check the image attachment here - why is there a million copies of Okular in the list of choices here...? http://imagebin.org/103402 | 06:54 |
| e_t_ | UrielCorinthian: You can also right click -> properties, then click on the wrench icon to the right. The lower half of the window that appears allows you to select which applications to use for a file type, and in what order. | 06:56 |
| UrielCorinthian | e_t_ - thanks... Just found that one... Looks more promising, since I can see that it stays on Okular now :) Do you have any idea why there would be so much repetition in the Open With dialog though? | 06:58 |
| UrielCorinthian | There are other apps that also have multiple instances listed there... | 06:58 |
| Khaotic | anyone know how to install wine? | 06:59 |
| Khaotic | e_t_: yes | 06:59 |
| e_t_ | UrielCorinthian: That I do not know. | 06:59 |
| UrielCorinthian | Okay :) Thanks for the help though | 06:59 |
| maco2 | UrielCorinthian: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/599785 | 07:00 |
| maco2 | UrielCorinthian: bah wrong bug | 07:01 |
| UrielCorinthian | :) | 07:01 |
| Khaotic | i need help | 07:01 |
| UrielCorinthian | I'll wait | 07:01 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: The counterpart of KRDC is KRFB, the KDE Remote Frame Buffer. It is a VNC server, and you can either send invitations or allow open connections. If you've got a VNC client on your phone, you should be able to connect. That's the nice thing about standards. | 07:01 |
| maco2 | UrielCorinthian: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/574342 | 07:01 |
| maco2 | UrielCorinthian: kdesu kate /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache | 07:01 |
| maco2 | UrielCorinthian: move okular to first | 07:01 |
| Khaotic | so get KRFB? | 07:01 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: Or, you can pick something from "aptitude search vnc". As I said, there are many clients and many servers. | 07:03 |
| Khaotic | i want something that i can view windows stuff too | 07:03 |
| Khaotic | i really want realvnc | 07:03 |
| Khaotic | but idk how to set it up | 07:04 |
| UrielCorinthian | maco2 - thank you. THink that should do it... | 07:04 |
| UrielCorinthian | I'll check it out | 07:04 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: VNC is VNC. If you have a Windows box with a VNC server on it, you'll be able to connect to it. | 07:04 |
| Khaotic | well i have 2 windows computers and this linux laptop | 07:05 |
| Khaotic | i wish teamviewer worked on linux | 07:06 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: so you want to view the Windows boxes from the Linux laptop? | 07:06 |
| Khaotic | yes | 07:06 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: OK. Install KRDC, then open it. You can press alt+F2 and type krdc, or you can search for it in the K menu > Programs > Internet > KRDC. | 07:09 |
| Khaotic | e_t_: i need a client like teamviwer | 07:12 |
| Khaotic | viewer* | 07:12 |
| UrielCorinthian | Thanks for the help guys, I'm out | 07:12 |
| UrielCorinthian | Later! | 07:12 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: I do not know of a Linux app that does as many things as teamviewer seems to do, but a combination of (any) VNC client + FileZilla FTP + Kopete/Pidgin IM seems like it would offer similar features. | 07:18 |
| Khaotic | wats a vnc client like it | 07:19 |
| Z-RAY_ | guys i tried to manually reinstall kdenlive and MLT from source, because i had these white dots and lines and now kdenlive don't see many modules! help me, please to make this thing work | 07:20 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: how does this look? http://www.ubuntusquad.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/screenshot-rdp-krdc.png | 07:20 |
| Khaotic | yuh | 07:21 |
| Khaotic | like i wanna vnc to and from linux | 07:22 |
| Khaotic | to and from windows | 07:22 |
| === ajmal is now known as jjunk | ||
| e_t_ | Khaotic: Then you need a client and a server on each end. I think your choice of specific software is a matter of preference. Try several and see what you like. You can always remove the others. | 07:25 |
| Khaotic | how? | 07:25 |
| Khaotic | i never found how to remove software lol | 07:25 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: apt-get or aptitude can both install and remove software. "sudo apt-get install $package" installs, and "sudo apt-get remove $package" uninstalls. | 07:27 |
| Khaotic | oh | 07:30 |
| Khaotic | can you help me install realvnc? | 07:30 |
| Khaotic | krdc isnt seeming to let me connect | 07:30 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: Have you configured your server to allow connections? | 07:31 |
| ajmal | can i install hdd temperature monitor on kubuntu | 07:31 |
| ajmal | ? | 07:31 |
| ajmal | any software....? | 07:31 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: realvnc is a proprietary/commercial app. I'll refer you to their website: http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise/4.5/install_debian.html | 07:35 |
| Khaotic | im on ubuntu | 07:35 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: Ubuntu is a Debian derivative. You'll follow the same steps. | 07:36 |
| Khaotic | oh awesome | 07:36 |
| e_t_ | Khaotic: Just put "sudo" on the front of the commands to run them as root. | 07:38 |
| Khaotic | ok | 07:43 |

| jussi | amichair: Im not sure. I dont use the "ppa" - is it the experimental ppa? if so, could be anything there... | 09:36 |
| amichair | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/KubuntuPPAs | 09:37 |

| djustice | Guest92207: just next next next the kubuntu installer disc then | 17:43 |
| urgen | partitions can be resized if there is space | 17:43 |
| Guest92207 | wait | 17:43 |
| djustice | dont worry about partitions. just boot the disc. and follow the installer. | 17:43 |
| urgen | hehe | 17:43 |
| Guest92207 | i put the cd in my computer now what | 17:44 |
| urgen | ouch | 17:44 |
| urgen | isn't there a wiki? | 17:44 |
| Guest92207 | should i click run wubi.exe | 17:44 |
| urgen | no | 17:44 |
| Guest92207 | then? | 17:44 |
| ridin | Guest92207, how big is your harddrive | 17:45 |
| Guest92207 | 500 GB | 17:45 |
| ridin | oh, you'll get a small kubuntu partition, either like 30/15 gb | 17:45 |
| Guest92207 | how | 17:46 |
| ridin | what do you mean how | 17:46 |
| Guest92207 | i don't know what i should do to install kubuntu in windows 7 | 17:46 |
| * urgen looking for the wiki steps | 17:46 | |
| urgen | I don't feel like holding hands today | 17:46 |
| ridin | Guest92207, do you want to try it out or install it completely with more disk space? | 17:46 |
| Guest92207 | sorry but could u plz help thanks | 17:46 |
| urgen | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Dual-Booting_Windows_and_Ubuntu | 17:46 |
| Guest92207 | intall it completley | 17:46 |
| ridin | well, you need to restart your computer, and boot from your cd | 17:47 |
| Guest92207 | will that replace my windows &? | 17:47 |
| urgen | read the wiki first | 17:47 |
| Guest92207 | windows 7? | 17:47 |
| djustice | Guest92207: after you put the disc in, reboot the computer. kubuntu should boot. | 17:47 |
| djustice | Guest92207: if not, you may have to enter your computers bios and tell it to boot from cd drive. | 17:48 |
| djustice | Guest92207: after kubuntu boots, there is an 'installer' icon. | 17:48 |
| Guest92207 | so it won't replace windows 7 right? | 17:48 |
| djustice | Guest92207: nope | 17:48 |
| ridin | Guest99207, no you have the chance to install side by side | 17:48 |
| Guest92207 | thanks | 17:48 |
| Guest92207 | ill try it now | 17:48 |
| djustice | installing side-by-side is the default. | 17:48 |
| Guest92207 | plz wait thanks a lot | 17:48 |
| djustice | overwriting everything is a nondefault option. so you must tell it explicitly to do so. | 17:49 |
| djustice | Guest92207: np :) | 17:49 |
| djustice | Guest92207: welcome to kubuntu | 17:49 |
| Guest92207 | thks | 17:49 |
| Guest92207 | ubuntu is the best! | 17:50 |
| djustice | chakra is the best sir. ;) meanwhile, until you gain wizardly skills. *ubuntu is best. | 17:50 |
| ridin | i heard gentoo and arch was for advanced | 17:51 |
| Guest92207 | i see a blue screen asking for language | 17:51 |
| ridin | hmmm | 17:51 |
| urgen | all linux is for advanced | 17:51 |
| ridin | go to your language | 17:51 |
| urgen | but things are still changing | 17:51 |
| Guest92207 | i selected enlish and now i see a another screen i should slect install right? | 17:51 |
| urgen | it is always a good idea to be capable of not letting technology push you around | 17:52 |
| djustice | Guest92207: no. | 17:52 |
| ridin | Guest92207: does it say Try Kubuntu out without installing and install kubuntu? | 17:52 |
| Guest92207 | yes | 17:52 |
| djustice | Guest92207: try it first. just to see if it works with your computer. | 17:52 |
| Guest92207 | ok | 17:52 |
| Guest92207 | i just see a black screen with nothing on it now | 17:53 |
| djustice | ridin: they are. but they take days to configure. chakra is preconfigured. like ubuntu. except based on simplicity rather than inclusive complexity. | 17:53 |
| djustice | Guest92207: wait ;) | 17:53 |
| Guest92207 | ok | 17:53 |
| ridin | yes, wait because kubuntu is a bit "chunky" | 17:54 |
| guest135 | someone has a few moments help me fixing a dpkg error? | 17:55 |
| djustice | heh. itz the 4.4.3 stuff. and the cron jobs. and the debian 'way' that are chunky. kubuntu is just a few metapackages.. | 17:55 |
| djustice | guest135: maybe.. what is it? | 17:55 |
| guest135 | alright | 17:55 |
| guest135 | its an uncofigured package | 17:55 |
| Guest92207 | the install guide says: The Ubuntu installer will overwrite your Master Boot Record and you will later be forced to recreate it. | 17:56 |
| Guest92207 | is that true | 17:56 |
| djustice | "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 17:56 |
| guest135 | error is quite long, where should i post it? | 17:56 |
| djustice | Guest92207: no. at the end of the install, it installs grub to the master boot record. automatic like. | 17:56 |
| djustice | guest135: pastebin.ca | 17:56 |
| guest135 | k tnx | 17:56 |
| Guest92207 | thanks djustice, i appreciate the help, peace | 17:58 |
| guest135 | pastebin is not responding, ill just paste the last few lines here | 17:58 |
| guest135 | dpkg: error processing qt4-qmake (--configure): | 17:58 |
| guest135 | subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 17:58 |
| djustice | guest135: hm. thats no help. try pastebin.com, i need the command you ran too. and the goal in question. | 17:59 |
| djustice | kde-devel? aspiring qt-devel? | 17:59 |
| guest135 | well its basically every command i run involving dpkg | 18:00 |
| guest135 | like apt-get ... | 18:00 |
| djustice | guest135: ah.. so.. pastebin.com the output of 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'? | 18:01 |
| guest135 | gonna paste at pastebin | 18:01 |
| ridin | paste.ubuntu.com may help too | 18:02 |
| djustice | ya. ive always been a pastebin.ca fan.. the custom account/syntax stuff is kewl. ;P and kde's pastebin widget can drag'n'drop there. and to imagebin, filebin, etc. | 18:03 |
| guest135 | ok its this one | 18:04 |
| guest135 | http://pastebin.com/9cwy1Hq3 | 18:04 |
| djustice | kk. one sec. | 18:05 |
| djustice | guest135: kk. do this. 'cd /var/cache/apt/packages; sudo dpkg --force-all -i ./qt4-qmake*' | 18:07 |
| djustice | somebody made a bad qt4-qmake pkg.. ;D.. or you can just keep apt-get updateing until they fix it.. | 18:07 |
| guest135 | there is no packages below apt | 18:08 |
| djustice | guest135: hrm.. idr the name.. i havent used kubuntu in ages.. its somewhere under cache/apt tho.. | 18:11 |
| djustice | archives. thats it. | 18:11 |
| djustice | me and dpkg dont jive... or the update-alternatives stuff... or the built-in cronjob stuff.. or the broken/busted pkgz.. or the hacks.. | 18:13 |
| djustice | the whole stack is wrong. its for servers not desktops. dpkg stacks must be -seriously- solidified before distrobution... | 18:13 |
| djustice | mumblemumble.. | 18:13 |
| guest135 | well i tried the command above | 18:14 |
| djustice | guest135: same error? | 18:14 |
| guest135 | the error is... gimme a sec | 18:14 |
| djustice | you may have to edit the status file by hand... | 18:15 |
| guest135 | you mean /var/lib/dpkg/status? | 18:15 |
| djustice | i do.. | 18:16 |
| djustice | http://www.khattam.info/2009/08/04/solved-subprocess-pre-removal-script-returned-error-exit-status-2-error/ <- a guide on how to fix it. | 18:16 |
| djustice | what did --force-all say tho? | 18:16 |
| guest135 | says: cannot acces archive: no such file or directory | 18:17 |
| guest135 | when tried with ./qt4-qmake* (--install) | 18:17 |
| guest135 | the status for qt4-qmake looks as the one in the link above, i'm gonna try that out | 18:20 |
| djustice | guest135: hm.. id use --force-all first.. but you must find the actual qt4-qmake deb file.. which i dont guess is in your apt/archives cache... | 18:22 |
| djustice | guest135: the status way is more of a hack than a solution.. | 18:22 |
| === kayla is now known as Geo | ||
| === Geo is now known as kayla | ||
| guest135 | and what about that postinst script mentioned in the first error? | 18:23 |
| guest135 | i see there is one in /var/lib/info called qt4-qmake.postinst | 18:24 |
| guest135 | but its empty | 18:24 |
| guest135 | may that be involved? | 18:25 |
| [1]choppa | hi, i have a friend of mine on KDE 4.4.4 et he has a problem connecting on wifi; sometimes it works; sometimes it stays on 'activation' and asks the password again; it's the same with knetworkmanager, nm-applet, and wicd, so for now i'm staying on knetworkmanager, could someone help please? | 18:25 |
| ridin | kwallet? | 18:28 |
| [1]choppa | ? | 18:29 |
| djustice | guest135: probably not.. i think you may have just got a corrupted qmake pkg from your mirror.. | 18:29 |
| djustice | guest135: you can probably download the new pkg from somewhere (online), and --force-all -i on it to fix everything. | 18:29 |
| djustice | instead of mucking about in your status file.. | 18:30 |
| guest135 | ok im gonna try that out | 18:30 |
| guest135 | thanks alot djustice | 18:30 |
| DarthFrog | Hmm, there's a new kernel upgrade today. | 18:32 |
| Renovatio | there's a way to know wich daemons are running on my pc? | 18:37 |
| DarthFrog | Renovatio: "ps auxww | less" will show you all processes running on your machine. | 18:38 |
| Renovatio | DarthFrog, thank you. do you know if there is a daemon for audio? | 18:40 |
| DarthFrog | Phonon or pulseaudio. | 18:43 |
| DarthFrog | In my experience, pulseaudio causes more problems than its worth. | 18:44 |
| DarthFrog | Audio in Linux is a mess, a real dog's breakfast. | 18:45 |
| Renovatio | ok, cause i have a problem, audio don't works :) | 18:49 |
| DarthFrog | Use System Settings/Multimedia to try different audio devices. | 18:57 |
| DarthFrog | Also use Kmix to play with the various volume settings. Check that your output channels aren't muted. | 18:58 |

| PasNox | i encounter strange problems with kubuntu 10.04 | 19:17 |
| PasNox | in the kpackagekit, i deactivate "auto install system update" | 19:17 |
| PasNox | but the system still persists to install some system component itself | 19:17 |
| PasNox | like openoffice update, and just right now kernel update | 19:18 |
| PasNox | is it normal ? | 19:18 |
| PasNox | it's strange because it does not auto install upate, just some one | 19:18 |

| oxymoron | ridin: bleachbit? :S Isnt that for removing files? | 19:51 |
| ridin | uh yes, isn't that what you want? | 19:51 |
| oxymoron | And then I cannot use bleachbit, because I cannot install anything until I solved current problem xD DOH! :D | 19:52 |
| ridin | usually a restart fixes those problems | 19:52 |

| ridin | sudo apt-get remove application then sudo apt-get autoremove | 19:53 |
| oxymoron | ridin: http://pastebin.com/AFrcP5Ae | 19:53 |
| oxymoron | Yes, but its not possible until I removed that FREAKING (******************) error in dpkg. | 19:53 |
| ridin | well, i'm only 13 | 19:53 |
| ridin | but i want to help | 19:53 |
| oxymoron | I cannot use apt-get at all. | 19:53 |
| oxymoron | Yes, I like help no matter age, thanks for trying :) | 19:54 |
| ridin | i think a restart shall help | 19:54 |
| ridin | i've had problems related to that | 19:54 |
| oxymoron | No restart wont help, I tried this yesterday so a reboot has been done already. | 19:55 |
| oxymoron | The problem is aptitude and dpkg, I would like to kill the programmers made it because it SUCKS! | 19:56 |
| oxymoron | If ONE thing breaks everything breaks. | 19:56 |
| oxymoron | And mostly it isnt user made breaks, its package incompabilities thats not solved. Its pathetic. | 19:57 |
| ridin | hmmmmm | 19:57 |
| gorgonizer | oxymoron: you can do sudo dpkg -i --force-verwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kdevplatform1-libs_1.0.0-1ubuntu3~lucid1~ppa3_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/kdevelop-data_4%3a4.0.0-2ubuntu1~lucid~ppa1_all.deb in that instance I believe.. | 20:00 |
| gorgonizer | *--force-overwrite | 20:01 |
| ridin | dang, i was about to type that | 20:02 |
| ridin | you win | 20:02 |
| ridin | i'm not worthy | 20:02 |
| * ridin bows | 20:02 | |
| gorgonizer | I am also unworthy, just I have used that command more than I care to admit :) | 20:03 |
| oxymoron | gorgonizer: Thanks, got same solution in another channel at the same time "cd /var/cache/apt/archives/; sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i kdevelop-data*.deb; sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i kdevplatform1-libs*.deb" | 20:03 |
| gorgonizer | oxymoron: as I usually use bleeding edge packages (such as the 4.5 RC 1 packages) I am more than familiar with that command :) | 20:04 |
| oxymoron | gorgonizer: I have been using that command sometimes earlier when got similar problem with dependecy lock, moment22 :P And I am using RC1 myself ;) | 20:05 |
| gorgonizer | excellent news :) | 20:06 |
| oxymoron | Still QT4.7 not working with video + OpenGL + Ciaro Dock ... thats uhm just sad, known bug since ages and nobody cares. | 20:06 |
| gorgonizer | never used Cario dock.. | 20:07 |
| ridin | docky! | 20:09 |

I use the binary without a problem *but* there is something about the driver I fallback on that gets the framebuffer exactly right. if I don't use the nvidia binary, my framebuffer is at 1920x1080.

| ranmaruhibikiya | I don't think so | 22:36 |

| ranmaruhibikiya | hi | 22:39 |
| Reallycool | still the hands! my guess is... I have no clue, a restart will probably fix it, but it will likely come back after some time | 22:40 |
| Reallycool | before I restart, one other thing. The widget download menu isn't working for me. it shows a blank list. | 22:41 |
| ranmaruhibikiya | Reallycool, try change the theme | 22:42 |
| Reallycool | for the mouse or widget problem? I already tried that for the mouse, and I don't see how that would help the widget issue... | 22:43 |
| ranmaruhibikiya | for the mouse issue | 22:44 |
| Reallycool | already tried it... | 22:44 |
| ranmaruhibikiya | for the widget, is asking for permission to access to the conection? | 22:45 |
| Reallycool | no | 22:46 |
| ranmaruhibikiya | because when I install one, ask for permission | 22:46 |
| ranmaruhibikiya | to connect, then appear the list | 22:46 |
| Reallycool | the one time it did work, I don't think it asked, either | 22:47 |
