[03:47] <josephnexus> hello everyone
[03:47] <josephnexus> in ubuntu there is a "disk utility" used for monitoring the smart status of drives, formatting, etc.... where is a similar tool located in kubuntu?
[03:59] <Fanfare> josephnexus: try kdf
[04:24] <josephnexus> does kdf come preinstalled?
[04:29] <moetunes> !info kdf
[05:42] <DM|> Where is the keyboard shortcuts options in kde?
[05:43] <DM|> As in, if I want to setup a keybind for opening a konsole shell
[05:44] <DM|> nm just found it :D
[05:46] <DM|> Okay... maybe I didnt... I need to be able to set a global keybind shortcut to open a konsole terminal, or another program. Where do I do that?
[05:47] <DM|> Anyone?

[06:29] <josephnexus> Hello everyone, just finished installing kubuntu
[06:29] <josephnexus> I'm trying to get my bluetooth headset working, my adapter is detected, but I can't seem to get it to pair
[06:29] <josephnexus> this "just worked" in ubuntu... any ideas on what I could be missing?
[06:29] <JDK> Geany is my new text editor. it's better than kate
[06:33] <josephnexus> everything I'm reading says it should work
[06:33] <josephnexus> any ideas?
[06:57] <usuario_> OLAS
[06:57] <usuario_> OLAS
[07:00] <josephnexus> hello everyone
[07:01] <josephnexus> anyone have any experience with bluetooth under kubuntu?
[07:01] <josephnexus> specifically bluetooth headsets?
[07:20] <urgen> my bluetooth doesn't work
[07:20] <urgen> too funky of a laptop
[07:25] <JDK> grrrr
[07:40] <josephnexus> Anyone have any ideas why my xorg process always consumes around 20 percent of my cpu?
[07:40] <josephnexus> Overall, graphics feel extremely sluggish
[07:46] <josephnexus> anyone have any ideas what could be causing it? My specs are pretty decent (quad core, 8GB ram, nvidia quadro card)
[07:47] <josephnexus> for having 212 people in here, it's rather quiet... could it be that I'm not connected?
[07:51] <Soldier3> Всем привет
[07:52] <Soldier3> Кто может помочь дельним советом?
[07:53] <DarthFrog> !ru | Soldier3
[07:54] <josephnexus> ok, so I must be connected
[07:54] <josephnexus> :-P
[07:55] <josephnexus> i'm assuming that it shouldn't be taking 5 seconds for a window to resize, any ideas on what could be causing the slowdown?
[07:59] <Soldier3> DarthFrog: Thank you!
[08:05] <naftilos76> hi, is there an app in Kubuntu that lets me edit boot options like which kernel to use etc?
[08:26] <ingeborg> hi Iḿ very new at this
[08:27] <ingeborg> could you please help me to join channel #archlinux-bugs IRC channel?
[08:27] <ingeborg> ah, never mind, Iǘe figured it out
[08:32] <Soldier3> ingeborg: /join #archlinux-bugs

[08:35] <Soldier3> I am install adobe flash. How in activation in firefox. (kubuntu 10.04 i386)
[09:59] <maelwryth> Hi folks. Welcome to my wget nightmare. Basically anything using wget to install fails ...eg msttcorefonts, flashplugin. Any clues, and no, I am not behind a proxy, just a nat. :)
[10:09] <JDK> anyone know of a free shell provider?
[10:12] <Ahox> Hi, is it possible to mount an ext3 partition s.t. only root has read/write access and everyone else ro?

[12:02] <wofl> while I'm here... (this isn't strictly speaking kubuntu)... how do I make kNetworkManager start automatically again? The first time I logged in there was a problem with Dbus policy, so kNetMan said it wouldn't start automatically in future :/
[12:02] <wofl> adding it to the autostart list didn't seem to work
[12:07] <wofl> *cough* James147 *cough*
[12:12] <tsimpson> is it listed in System Settings -> Advanced -> Autostart?
[12:14] <wofl> yep, that's where I added it. I just used "kNetworkManager" as the path...
[12:14] <James147> wofl: Check ~/.kde/share/config/networkmanagementrc see if there is anything in there about autostarting :S
[12:16] <tsimpson> wofl: it's "knetworkmanager" (lower-case)
[12:16] <wofl> tsimpson: good point. I think i did it lower case, but i'll have to check
[12:17] <wofl> tsimpson: woops
[12:17] <wofl> thanks :p
[12:18] <wofl> James147: i'll be looking in there anyway to try and fix it 'properly', so thank you too ;)
[12:18] <wofl> wait :/ i take it back, the name was capped but the command wasn't :/
[12:20] <tsimpson> is it enabled? (the checkbox should be checked)
[12:23] <wofl> yes it is ;)
[12:23] <tsimpson> does it start when you run it manually?
[12:24] <wofl> yeah, that's the weird thing
[12:24] <wofl> I suppose i could try auto-starting a script with a "pause" or "sleep" or whatever instead
[12:25] <tsimpson> hmm
[12:26] <wofl> i do actually have a Autostart=false in my networkmanagmentrc though :/
[12:26] <James147> wofl: set it to true
[12:26] <wofl> so i'll cross my fingers for that to be the problem
[12:26] <tsimpson> the only thing I have in my knetworkmanagerrc is:
[12:26] <tsimpson> [General]
[12:26] <tsimpson> Version=0.2.2
[12:26] <wofl> James147: or delete the line entirelly? :)
[12:26] <James147> wofl: that will probally also work as I dont habve that line
[12:27] <wofl> thanks for your help guys, as always
[12:27] <wofl> I'll be back when this fails O.o
[12:39] <DocTomoe> I've hit the Google and the FAQs, but to no avail: How do I get Kubuntu to remember my monitor resolution settings? (It automatically resets to 1024x768 after each reboot)
[12:40] <DocTomoe> (this is 10.4 btw)
[12:40] <James147> DocTomoe: what graphics card do you have?
[12:41] <DocTomoe> ATI Sapphire something. was pretty high-class back in the day, but Actually, I have no Idea on the exact name
[12:41] <DocTomoe> I'm not that great a graphics hardware geek, but it should be able to consistently use the 1280x1024 resolution ;)
[12:43] <James147> DocTomoe: have you enabled the propriety drivers for it? (run: jockey-kde)
[12:44] <DocTomoe> James147: Actually, I haven't - That card sounds like a starting F22 when it uses 3d accleration, and I wanted to avoid that.
[12:45] <DocTomoe> James147: jockeys two entry fields are empty, btw.
[12:46] <James147> DocTomoe: :S afraid I cant really help much more then that, I dont know how to configure ati cards
[12:47] <DocTomoe> Well, thanks anyway :)
[12:48] <winli> anybody tried edubuntu with kde?
[13:07] <code_> hi, anyone can help me how to instal plazmoid?
[13:10] <James147> code_: which one are you trying to install?
[13:11] <code_> some similar with conky

[13:40] <crashev> is there a way to painlessly switch from kubuntu 10.04 -64bit to 32bit version ?
[13:40] <bazhang> crashev, full reinstall
[13:43] <crashev> bazhang: You think I should format root partition before this,or overriding files/packages will be enough ?
[13:44] <bazhang> crashev, do you have a separate home partition?
[13:44] <Torch> crashev: you need to completely erase the old installation
[13:44] <James147> crashev: if you install to a partition that already contains /usr /sys /etc... they will be deleted before install i bleave
[13:44] <Torch> crashev: you cannot just install different packages
[13:45] <Mehrab> hey, my "xsession-errors" file size strangely grows up and eats up all free disk space of my home partition. what should I do?
[13:46] <Torch> Mehrab: find out which program fills it up.
[13:46] <Torch> Mehrab: try to fix the problem or kill the program.
[13:46] <Torch> Mehrab: delete the file. log out and in again.
[13:46] <Mehrab> Torch: but how should I find that?
[13:46] <Torch> Mehrab: read what's in the file.
[13:48] <crashev> Torch: ok, can't recall was - there format option during installation - in alternate installation cd ?
[13:49] <Torch> crashev: you can create file systems during install, yes (format is a terrible wrong windows term)
[13:49] <crashev> Torch: erase/format/wipe whatever
[13:50] <crashev> great, will see how it goes, I will have to configure my raid and lvm again during installation.

[14:34] <macintux> trupheenix: I don't think anyone knows how to fix your problem.
[14:34] <trupheenix> macintux: :P right
[14:34] <macintux> trupheenix: I'd post on Ubuntuforums or come back in about a few hours.
[14:35] <trupheenix> hmmm good idea

[14:35] <trupheenix> macintux: how long till 10AM PST?\

[14:40] <trupheenix> James147: ok but it's only on KDE. GNOME sound works
[14:41] <macintux> trupheenix: Have you checked your mixer on KDE make sure your volume is all the way up?
[14:42] <trupheenix> macintux: volume control is up.
[14:42] <trupheenix> James147: it was working till yesterday even!
[14:44] <trupheenix> James147: i seem to be facing this problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31698
[14:52] <BluesKaj> trupheenix, make sure in alsamixer that nothing is muted
[15:10] <trupheenix> BluesKaj: nothing is muted

[15:25] <trupheenix> BluesKaj: did
[15:37] <geof270> Good Morning. Anyone have experiences, pros/cons, upgarding Jaunty to Karmac?
[15:43] <henkka-> hello
[15:43] <henkka-> I'm trying to install Panda net Go client for linux
[15:44] <henkka-> i think the install was fine but when starting the program nothing happens
[16:00] <trupheenix> geof270: just get Lucid man
[16:00] <trupheenix> geof270: it rocks!
[16:06] <trupheenix> James147: hey i only have the XINE backend for playing back sound on KDE. you think that's a problem? i should have Gstreamer also right?
[16:13] <geof270> Lucid is to unstable on my laptop
[16:14] <ToxinPowe> geof270: I'm only a user, but I think Karmic a pretty good release, more than jaunty
[16:15] <edju> Is there a kde equivalent to gnome-power-applets?  Specifically,  the cpu frequency monitor?
[16:15] <geof270> examples?
[16:15] <ToxinPowe> geof270: on my laptop, all works right, no more examples =)
[16:15] <geof270> Thanks
[16:16] <ToxinPowe> more faster than jaunty, I upgrade too
[16:16] <ToxinPowe> geof270: I think upgrade is a good option if you want, only that, good luck
[16:20] <James147> edju: there is http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Cpu+Frequency+Selector+Ruby?content=92573  or http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/CpuFreqDisplay?content=101147
[16:25] <robert> Hi room
[16:26] <robert> im trying to setup a cisco 877W router on my system. but im not sure what software i can run
[16:26] <robert> to get it to work
[16:27] <robert> has anyone any ideas what i can do.. and if there is some free software to get it to work
[16:28] <James147> robert: are you trying to connect to the router (wired or wireless?... or configure the router?
[16:28] <robert> wired at the moment
[16:28] <manu_> hola
[16:28] <robert> hola manu
[16:29] <James147> robert: is knetworkmanager not auto connecting you then?
[16:29] <manu_> soy novato con el tema este de ubuntu
[16:29] <ToxinPowe> manu_: este canal es en ingles, para español #kubuntu-es
[16:30] <manu_> ok gracias
[16:31] <robert> just tried it now and its not engaging.
[16:32] <robert> I was wondering if i need to download the software from Cisco website
[16:33] <James147> robert: it shouldnt matter what router you have so there should be no need to extra software to connect to it
[16:33] <robert> so as to get it to recognise it, but i found out that i need to pay for the priverlege
[16:37] <robert> hi again...got dc'd i think
[16:37] <robert> @james currently i have it connected to the COM port
[16:37] <robert> when i connected it Kubuntu didnt register the connection
[16:45] <James147> robert: try the other ports :S
[16:46] <robert> ok
[16:46] <robert> will give it a try
[17:09] <manjula> Hello ALl
[17:10] <manjula> in my taskbar i accidenlty delete a widget. it was the one that shows all the programs that run..place where u get the minizmie windows etc... how do i get it back ?
[17:10] <James147> manjula: right click the panel > add widgets > look for Task Manager > drag it back
[17:10] <ToxinPowe> right click unlock widgets
[17:11] <ToxinPowe> and this yep
[17:11] <josephnexus> anyone here know why I could be experiencing some major slowness issues?
[17:11] <manjula> problem is task manager is not there
[17:11] <josephnexus> xorg is always consuming 25% cpu
[17:11] <josephnexus> (on a quad core machine)
[17:11] <manjula> josephnexus: Problem is Task Manager is not there........
[17:13] <geof270> If you have accidentally erased your Task Manager bar completely, add it again from the Plasma icon in the upper right corner of your desktop. You can drag your Task Manager bar anywhere you want using the "handle" on the edge of the bar (which pops up unless you have the widgets locked).
[17:14] <josephnexus> also, does anyone here know how to get a bluetooth headset working?  It worked perfectly and without any trouble in Ubuntu, but when I try to pair it in Kubuntu it says that I don't have the services
[17:14] <josephnexus> err... it doesn't have an input service
[17:15] <eagles0513875> hey guys there is somethign super strange goign on with my video card driver since the kernel update
[17:15] <eagles0513875> the driver always seems to crash due to some kernel object error
[17:15]  * eagles0513875 thinks me shoudl remove and reinstall the driver
[17:16] <manjula> didnt work
[17:17] <josephnexus> eagles0513875, what driver are you talking about?
[17:17] <trupheenix> BluesKaj: lol. it was a volume issue. i opened the Mixer from system tray and saw that headphones were muted.
[17:17] <eagles0513875> josephnexus: the nvidia one in the repos
[17:17] <geof270> widgets unlocked?
[17:17] <josephnexus> I am running the same driver
[17:18] <eagles0513875> josephnexus: did you update ur kernel
[17:18] <josephnexus> and I am experiencing horrendously slow speeds
[17:18] <josephnexus> I've installed all of the updates
[17:18] <eagles0513875> im on 2.6.32-23 josephnexus on 22 i didnt have this problem
[17:18] <eagles0513875> i have to restart x to get any desktop
[17:18] <josephnexus> let me check my kernel version
[17:18] <eagles0513875> 2ndly icons it doesnt render right for programs
[17:18] <eagles0513875> speed for me isnt an issue
[17:19] <eagles0513875> josephnexus: thats the nvidia driver im running Installed: 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04
[17:19] <manjula> ahh ok finally i managed to get it back.. problem was, i am using a system i localized to sinhalese.. and the widget was in a different name ... "-)
[17:19] <josephnexus> what graphics card do you have eagles0513875?
[17:20] <josephnexus> 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:20] <josephnexus> that's my kernel

[17:21] <josephnexus> I'm on a quadro fx580
[17:21] <josephnexus> where are you seeing these errors?
[17:21] <josephnexus> like in your kernel?
[17:21] <eagles0513875> josephnexus: on bootup
[17:21] <eagles0513875> no
[17:21] <josephnexus> dmesg or something?
[17:21] <josephnexus> ah
[17:21] <josephnexus> ok
[17:21] <FloodBotK2> josephnexus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:21] <eagles0513875> i get a dialogue when it comes to load the ui and a rather decent delay wiht it before it pops up the kernel object error message
[17:22] <eagles0513875> i think i need to uninstall it and reinstall it
[17:22] <josephnexus> i suspect that your driver didn't update with the new kernel
[17:22]  * josephnexus has noticed kubuntu does that occasionally.
[17:23] <josephnexus> Switch to vesa or something in your Xorg, and then reboot, and then reactivate the driver via the hardware drivers tool
[17:23] <josephnexus> anyone else here experiencing horrible speeds (5 seconds to unminimize something?)
[17:23] <eagles0513875> O_O

[17:23] <josephnexus> should I be?

[18:43] <captainc> I just installed Kubuntu for the first time (Lucid). I used to use PulseAudio as a sound server so other computers can use the speakers on the one PC. What is my best option now?
[18:44] <slow-motion> hi
[19:25] <josephnexus> hello everyone, whenever I try to switch windows (like drag one window, and then drag the next) it takes a second or so before the second window will start moving.  It makes the desktop feel very clunky and slow... any ideas?
[19:30] <Space_Man> josephnexus: it could be a driver issue or a Compiz effect causing the problem
[19:33] <josephnexus> i've disabled compositing
[19:33] <josephnexus> still slow :-(
[19:34] <Ginglymostoma> I seemed to have broken my KPackageKit.  I was trying to add a WineHQ repository to the Third-Party Software tab, then afterwards (somehow) my package manager could neither load software or updates.  Everytime I try to search for a software package or click refresh under Software Updates, I instead keep getting the error message "The package list needs to be rebuilt." and under details "Package cache could not be opened." 
[19:34] <Ginglymostoma>  what I did to break it and how I can fix it?
[19:35] <James147> Ginglymostoma: try running "sudo aptitude update"
[19:36] <Ginglymostoma> James147: you have a paste bin site I could load my error message to?  I don't want to flood the channel
[19:37] <James147> !pastebin | Ginglymostoma
[19:38] <Ginglymostoma> James147: here's the paste bin from your command, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458847/
[19:39] <Ginglymostoma> guess I should try removing ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppappa:ubuntu-wine/ppa from that list?
[19:39] <James147> Ginglymostoma: yup
[19:40] <Ginglymostoma> James147 is there a gui i could use to access the list or will I have to use bash?
[19:41] <James147> Ginglymostoma: kpackagekit should be able to do it... otherwise you can jsut open it as root in a text eidtor (kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list   will do it)
[19:46] <Ginglymostoma> James147: works well now, thanks James!

[20:01] <Alan502> I see strigi running but i don't know how to use its search XD
[20:27] <James147> Alan502: Either do a search in dolphin (the search bar at the top of the window (NOT ctrl+F) or through krunner (you might need to enalbe the nepomuk plugin)
[20:28] <Alan502> James147, ahhh i see. Thanks! I was using Ctrl+f but i know how to use strigi now.
[22:16] <slow-motion> n8
[22:26] <cato37> anyone know how to fix dolphin when it gives searches innacurately and in quadruplicate.
[22:43] <josephnexus> anyone have any ideas on why making a window active would consume 100 percent cpu for a few seconds?
[22:43] <josephnexus> I click on the firefox task bar and my cpu gets pegged for a few seconds
[22:43] <josephnexus> and everything runs slow
[22:44] <josephnexus> i click back on quassel and the same thing happens
[22:44] <josephnexus> any time that the active window is changing, my cpu usage is extremely high for a few seconds... has anyone else experienced this?
[22:44] <josephnexus> I ran into that on current stable as well as on the RC1
[23:22] <senorpedro> hi
[23:23] <senorpedro> how can i make kubuntu to connect to wifi on boot? atm the connection manager only connects when i login into kde
[23:26] <ken> salve a tutti
[23:40] <senorpedro> hola
[23:40] <senorpedro> how can i make the wifi to connect on bootup? is there a solution for this?
[23:40] <senorpedro> atm i have to login in kde so that wifi connects
[23:45] <cato37> what tool do i use to partition the harddrive?
[23:46] <senorpedro> qtparted
[23:46] <cato37> thanx
[23:46] <senorpedro> or cfdisk if you prefer cli
[23:46] <senorpedro> or gparted if you like gtk2
[23:46] <Dragnslcr> qtparted isn't maintained anymore
[23:47] <cato37> i am not sure what cli is.
[23:47] <Dragnslcr> !info partitionmanager
[23:47] <senorpedro> cato37, cli == "command line interface" aka terminal
[23:47] <senorpedro> so partitionmanager is the new qtparted?
[23:47] <cato37> senorpedro: thanx.
[23:47] <senorpedro> np
[23:48] <Dragnslcr> Pretty much, yeah
[23:48] <senorpedro> is it also qt?
[23:48] <Torch> senorpedro: it's a kde app
[23:48] <Dragnslcr> QT4, yeah
[23:48] <Torch> senorpedro: it has nothing at all to do with qtparted
[23:48] <Dragnslcr> Er, KDE4, that is
[23:49] <senorpedro> ok
[23:50] <cato37> i am saddenned. i cant avoid needing monenote for my work, and i cant get it too work in
[23:51] <senorpedro> whats monenote?
[23:51] <cato37> i am saddenned. i cant avoid needing ms onenote for my work, and i cant get it too work in kubuntu, so i have to set aside some disk space to reinstall vista for it.
[23:52] <cato37> sorry. i am still getting used to typing on the small kb of the laptop
[23:52] <senorpedro> hehe
[23:52] <Torch> cato37: wait... you cannot get an _ms_ app to work on kubuntu? and that makes you sad?
[23:52] <cato37> it makes me sad that i have to reinstall vista
[23:52] <senorpedro> cato37, you can try it with wine or setup a windows image in virtualbox
[23:52] <Torch> cato37: if you decide to rely on microsoft apps... well...
[23:52] <cato37> virtualbox?
[23:53] <cato37> Torch: i dont have a choice. work requires it.
[23:53] <senorpedro> yes, it "simulates" a computer in your computer, its awesome
[23:53] <Torch> cato37: http://www.virtualbox.org/
[23:53] <cato37> thanx
[23:53] <cato37> maybe i wont have to partition the disk
[23:54] <Torch> cato37: well, blame your employer then, not linux. or kubuntu.
[23:54] <cato37> lol, i am not blaming linux nor, kubuntu.
[23:54] <cato37> i am not smart enough to get wine to work
[23:55] <Torch> cato37: wine is nothing more than a crutch.
[23:55] <senorpedro> cato37, its very simple, just type "wine $MONETONE_INSTALLER.exe" into the terminal
[23:55] <Torch> cato37: not relying on windows-only-apps is a lot smarter.
[23:55] <senorpedro> or you just click on the installer exe in dolphin
[23:56] <senorpedro> cato37, then wine will install it into the wine dir
[23:56] <senorpedro> but there's a chance that it wont work with wine
[23:56] <cato37> i keep getting errors that the c directory doesnt exist when trying to install ms stuff
[23:57] <senorpedro> cato37, normally it should create the c dir automatically
[23:59] <cato37> i think it is because i i made two users, the 1000 one is my personal login, and the 1001 is for work, but i dont need the m$ stuff for the personal login.
[23:59] <cato37> i will log into it and see if it works from there. brb.
