dinodell2100im having trouble installing a program with wine.  when i run the setup.exe wine shows a problem in the terminal and does not continue00:07
senorpedrodinodell2100, which problem does it show?00:08
senorpedrocan you paste the output to http://nopaste.info/00:08
dinodell2100k sec00:08
dinodell2100ty00:09
cato37wine works in the first login, but vituralbox looks pretty good.00:12
quentusrexHelp. I tried to install kde but now that I try to login but I get an error that "can't start ksmserver"00:12
senorpedrocato37, yeah, virtualbox is awesome :)00:13
dinodell2100senorpedro: http://nopaste.info/e3ac424849.html00:13
senorpedroquentusrex, is there more info?00:13
vbgunzforgive me for being stupid here but is the crop tool in gwenview broken? holy cow, what skill level do you need to crop an image?00:14
quentusrexsenorpedro, there is no other info.00:14
quentusrexbut to check the installation00:14
senorpedrodinodell2100, that looks like wine bug. ask that in #wine again00:15
dinodell2100ok tyvm00:15
quentusrexsenorpedro, would there be logs somewhere of what went wrong?00:15
senorpedroquentusrex, i dont know, sorry. maybe the folks in #kde can help00:16
cato37is it better to use apt-get or the gdebi for the virtualbox?00:16
vbgunzholy cow, I figured it out. the option got lost in the noise :/00:17
senorpedrocato37, you can use "apt-get install virtualbox-3.2" to install virtualbox (though i prefer aptitude). i dont know what gdebi is so i cant say anything about that00:17
James147cato37: the .deb from the site in needed if you want usb support inside the guest OS but other then that installing it from apt-get is fine00:17
cato37k. thanx00:18
James147senorpedro: gdebi is a frontend for install .debs i beleave.. its what is called when you click on a .deb in dolphin00:18
cato37i was told to be careful when installing from outside apt-get or aptitude cause it might break the dependencies.00:19
senorpedroJames147, ok thx for the info. i always use dpkg -i for that00:19
James147cato37: it 'might' I have installed the one from virtualbox site before it should be fine...00:20
James147cato37: but unless you really need usb support the one in the repos should be good enough00:20
senorpedrocato37, if you install .deb packages there will be no problems. the person who told you that probably meant when you compile from source with ./configure && make && make install00:20
cato37no, i just need to run one prog from m$ because of my work, which i am in the process of trying to get the workgroup to try ubunut. :)00:21

cato37u00:21
cato37sigh, i cant type on this little kb00:22
cato37k. thanx james, and señor pedro.00:22
cato37reboot. brb.00:23
cato37back... lol. i double clicked... i am still getting used to the hover and select method. so virtual box is being reinstalled. ..00:25
sirbobbyukhi, i have a cisco 877W router and at the moment im not sure how to set it up. is there any free software that i can use to set it up00:31
sirbobbyukAt the moment im seeing two lights one light is flashing, which is the one that waiting to be connected up to the phone line00:32
tolkachhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6202/index.html00:32
sirbobbyukive gone to the Cisco web site, but they are wanting money for the downloads00:33
sirbobbyukHi, I was wondering if anyone knew of any software that works with a cisco router00:35
ikonia"works with" ?00:35
sirbobbyukCisco router 877W00:35
ikoniayes what about it ?00:36
sirbobbyukwell i have one and im having problems in setting it up00:36
ikoniayou need to know how to configure cico through the ios OS00:36
sirbobbyukyep00:37
ikoniaok, so that's nothing to do with kubuntu00:37
sirbobbyukin a way it is cos im using 10.4 of Kubuntu at the moment00:37
ikoniasirbobbyuk: it's nothing to do with kubuntu how to configure a cisco device00:37
sirbobbyukok, so if other than to do with Kubuntu im singing up the wrong tree00:38
ikoniacorrect00:39
ikoniathe channel is for kubuntu support only00:39
ikoniacheck /topic for more info00:39
sirbobbyukI dont get it im using Kubuntu and im trying to set up the router...but i cant ask if there is away to set it up if it nothing to do with Kubuntu...which it is00:40
ikoniasirbobbyuk: what part are you having a problem with ?00:40
sirbobbyukAll of it at the moment... spent the best part of 4 and a bit hours trying different areas...00:41
James147sirbobbyuk: what router you have is irrelevent to connecting to it... if you want to set up the router (to configre it) you need to see the routers documenttation... although most router can be configured through a web interface00:41
ikoniawhat part do you "want" help wtih00:41
ikoniabe specific00:41
ikoniaJames147: only home class cisco's come with web interfaces00:42
ikoniathe rest expect cisco experience00:42
sirbobbyukOk all i want to know is, is there some information on Kubuntu that helps novies like me in setting up a Cisco router.00:45
ikoniasirbobbyuk: no00:45
ikoniasirbobbyuk: your routers configuration is nothing to do with kubuntu00:45
ikoniasirbobbyuk: you need to have ciso knowledge, which depends nothing on your OS00:45
anodehey, is there a way I can see what packages are on a 'specific' repository using apt-get or aptitude?01:04
Torchanode: usually you can just browse the repository with a web browser01:06
Torchanode: and read the packages index file01:06
anodeTorch: I have no web browser01:07
Torchanode: how comes?01:07
anodedoes't matter. If i'm trying to install something remotely via ssh, that only thing I have is cli01:07
anodeanyhow, is there a way to do so?01:08
Torchanode: there are web browser for text mode01:08
anodeokay... is there a way to do it with apt-get aptitude?01:08
James147anode: elinks  :) a terminal web browser01:08
anodeI know............01:08
anodeis there a way to do it with apt-get aptitude?01:08
anodeor *01:08
Typos_Kingapt-get aptitude?01:09
anodeapt-get or aptitude01:09
Typos_Kingwhat does that mean?01:09
anodeare you serious???? It means, how can I use either apt-get or aptitude in order to find packages of a specific repository..01:10
Typos_Kingok01:10
Typos_Kingsoooooo01:10
Dragnslcranode- might be an option for apt-cache search01:11
JontheEchidnayou mean something like this? http://simplest-image-hosting.net/i0-plasma-desktopxn1560-jpg.jpg01:11
anodeDragnslcr: isn't that for packages you've downloaded already?01:11
anodeJontheEchidna: yes, exactly like that actualy01:12
JontheEchidnaanode: Synaptic does it, but I'm not too sure if either aptitude or apt-get can01:12
tolkachanode- man aptitude has a bit on search01:12
anodetolkach: so you can do that with aptitude?01:12
tolkachSearches for packages matching one of the patterns supplied on the command line.01:13
tolkachtry it01:13
tolkachi have no idea :)01:13
Typos_Kinganode:    what are you looking for? if I may ask01:13
anodeTypos_King: nothing in particular actually...01:14
anodeTypos_King: i'd rather just know how to search for something form specific sources if I am somehow unable to use X01:15
Dragnslcranode- apt-cache search checks the local package database, which lists everything available from the servers (assuming you've done apt-get update recently_01:16
Typos_Kingyeah01:16
Typos_Kinganode:    just use apt-cache search01:17
Dragnslcranode- I don't know if there's a way to only search a single repository, but I don't know why you'd want to anyway01:17
Typos_Kinganode:    apt-get has autocomplete, fyi01:17
anodeDragnslcr: versioning, differentiating from my own sources or sources on the network, etc..01:19
anodeadministration really...01:19
James147anode: i know aptitude can list different version it knows about... at least I have see it in the interactive mode01:19
snarksterhow do you use bw43-fwcutter?01:20
snarksterdo i need to go out on the net and get the driver?01:21
Typos_Kingsnarkster:    why do you need it?01:21
snarkstergot a friend that installed 10.4 and his wireless isnt working. he has broadcom430601:21
tolkachyeah i saw the errors with that. my wifi doesn't work sometimes too01:24
tolkachbut then also apparently, the wifi router was messed with while i was gone from the house, and that might not work either right now01:24
snarksterso we dont need fw-cutter anymore?01:24
tolkach..of course i am left with only ubuntu boxen to test it lol01:24
Typos_King... snarkster    the drivers will be there, I'd think01:27
tolkachi'm curious if there's a command analogous to dhclient in ubuntu. i'm more used to bsd still in some ways and i can't figure out what the equivalent would be01:28
tolkachi mean, typing "dhclient similar ubuntu bsd" is sort of a bad search ;p01:28
tolkachas i've found01:28
James147tolkach: umm... dhclient....01:29
Typos_Kingsnarkster:   http://pastebin.parentnode.org/103627   <---- is what I've used01:31
snarksterthanx typos_king01:52

changbinghello,everyone.03:15
changbingI manually installed nvidia graphic card driver 256.35 downloaded from Nvidia official website, and now I want to remove it03:16
changbinghow can I do that03:16
changbingthe reason why I want to remove this driver is because when I run "hardware driver" in Kubuntu 10.04, I found I have already intalled nvidia_173, but it is not currently used03:18
changbingand with manualled installed driver 256.35, there is a display issue, the chracters can not be displayed sharply, it appears a little flaky and fussy03:20

sleepwlkerRight?04:59
moetunesyep and you should throw checkinstall in there too05:01
moetunes!checkinstall05:01
ubottucheckinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!05:01
sleepwlkerOk05:02
sleepwlkerNow what?05:02
moetunesline 60 from the readme05:07
moetunescd /path/to/dir-with-the-driver05:07
sleepwlkerOk05:11
sleepwlkerI'm there05:11
sleepwlkerSorry I took awhile to reply, I ran to get a glass of water05:12
sleepwlkerWhat next moetunes?05:12
moetunesline 62 from the readme says to check it is set for linux - it's just checking two lines05:12
moetunesso open the make file and "set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX" "05:13
sleepwlkerEverything looks good05:13
moetunesthen type   make   and sit back :]05:14

supermagnumthe only thing that puzzles me a bit is that the instructions on the page i mentioned states that it is neccesary to create a file in a directory that is named xorg.conf.d14:39
supermagnumthat does not exist on my laptop14:39
keepitsimplethat's wrong, the filename is xorg.conf14:40
keepitsimpleand it resides in /etc/X11/14:40
BluesKajsupermagnum, if you're interested , here's a relevant tutorial,14:42
BluesKajhttp://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/ubuntu-9-10/xorg-conf-file-create-on-ubuntu-9-10/ , supermagnum14:42
supermagnumaha..14:43
keepitsimpleManual configuration of X Window System has to be done only when it fails to detect and configure some of the hardware present on the machine (like mouse, keyboard, video card, touchpad, etc);14:50
keepitsimplesupermagnum: also in the future when something fails, boot into the recovery mode and *read the logs* http://goo.gl/AWwt using a command-line text editor already installed, like *vi* or *nano*14:53
supermagnumok14:53
keepitsimplethey can give you hints on what's worng14:53
keepitsimple*wrong14:53
supermagnumkeepitsimple: i will try to paste the section and he values that are about the toucsreen in xorg.conf  that are mentioned here : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/panasonic-toughbook-cf-29-touch-screen-485053/page14.html14:55
keepitsimplesupermagnum: you could try first genering one automatically to see what's detected: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg14:57
keepitsimplesupermagnum: before doing this make a backup of your current xorg.conf in case it fails14:58
ubuntuhey there how can I have grub installed on a partition which is independant from OSs?15:00
keepitsimplesupermagnum: you also need to: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evtouch and after that run the command I mentioned above15:00
supermagnumi have that already15:01
supermagnumand, it generates a xorg.conf file that looks ok to me15:01
keepitsimplesupermagnum: try a reboot and see what things work and what not, and then add more information to xorg.conf as per what needs to be configured15:02
supermagnumok15:02
keepitsimpleubuntu: http://goo.gl/lidK && http://goo.gl/TKms also bear in mind that there are two version of Grub out-there depeding on which version of Kubuntu you have, Grub 0.97 and Grub2, they use different configuration files15:05
hemali need help using hp f4488 on kubuntu15:27
hemali am able to see the printer in system setup and print to it also15:28
hemalbut HP Device Manager does not recognize it15:28
=== gb_ is now known as Guest87302
BluesKajhemal, do you have hplip installed?15:35
=== Guest87302 is now known as gillbates
hemalBluesKaj yes i installed it using Add Remove Software but that was an older vesion15:50
hemalso i unstalled it and now downloaded from sourceforge15:50
hemaland now it seems i need to reboot...15:51
keepitsimplehemal: there is a ppa for this package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip16:00
keepitsimple(packages)16:00
hemalkeepitsimple hi16:01
hemalkeepitsimple i rebooted because it kept saying old package cannot be removed but it said that even after reboot16:02
hemalbut: now it told me to disoconnect and reconnect usb and this time it discovered my printer16:03
BluesKajhemal, yeah sometimes things don't change from windows procedures :)\16:04
keepitsimpleHPLIP package from the repository should work just fine in most cases, if it is not the latest version from upstream, anyway if you really need the latest version you can install it either from the official site http://goo.gl/U6GC or from Launchpad HPLIP's page just mentioned earlier16:08
keepitsimple*even if16:08
hemalkeepitsimple i suspect the previous one would have worked, i think the trick was to disconnect and reconnect16:10
hemalbut right not it all seems good16:10
hemalHP Device manager can show ink levels in cartridge :)16:10
BluesKajhemal, yeah , but don't believe it's accuracy :)16:12
keepitsimpleonly for some printers, my HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one just died some weeks ago, when I open it up it just shows "Please refer to the printer documentation" , I think it's because of refilled cartridge or something, I have to buy a new one :-)16:12
hemalthanls keepitsimple i'll rememeber that16:14
BluesKajI used my HP f4210 for only about 20 pages worth of text and the cartridge was showing as "low" ...printers are made just to sell more cartridges IMO16:14
BluesKajblack cartridge that is16:14
hemalBluesKaj yes thats where the money is -- in cartridges16:14
keepitsimplebtw you guys buy new ones everytime one gets emptied or you refill it, like me ?16:15
keepitsimple(offtopic)16:15
BluesKajit's been showing "low" for 6mos now :)16:15
hemaltried to convnice my wife that we should just get a b/w laser but it seems my daughters have too much schoolwork that needs colors16:16
hemalkeepitsimple i am indina16:16
hemalindia*16:16
BluesKajkeepitsimple, I refill some and also buy some , refills aren't reliable in my experience16:16
hemalwe even refill use-and-throw cameras :P16:17
hemalso i got to explore...but i want to try to restrict printing to bare minimum so hopefully not need to refill16:18
BluesKajhemal, yeah i run my printer in the grayscale mode after the colour cart runs out ...just use the printer for receipts and bank transfers etc16:19
hemalBluesKaj, oh business use...problem with home use is that they just go dry with all the heat and dust, without getting used even16:20
* BluesKaj nods16:20
hemalanyway, so far this is much better than the epson cx5500 it is replacing16:21
BluesKajmine is for home use , but we are active on ebay etc and helping our kids with emergency funds every now and then.16:22
hemalits printing, i can control quality, i can scan and it is telling me at least what it it thinks the ink levels are16:22
hemalall rightie folks time for dinner...thanks for hearing me out on this. bye bye16:23

rmrfslashWhat happened to knetworkmanager19:15
rmrfslashI just installed all of the latest updates, rebooted and now all of a sudden I have no knetworkmanager anymore19:16
rmrfslashI had to run dhclient manually just to get online (and had to wire connect my laptop)19:16
rmrfslashwireless isn't working at all and the little knetworkmanager icon in the system tray says "Network Management Disabled"19:17

Mehrabhi, I think I have some problems with nepomuk. my .xsession-errors file size gets bigger and bigger and will eat up all free disk space of my home folder and when I see it's contents, it is full of some texts related to Nepomuk19:44
gorgonizerMehrab: what version of KDE are you using?19:46
Mehrabgorgonizer: 4.4.519:46
gorgonizerMehrab: I did have that on KDE 4.5 Beta 2, but has been fixed in 4.5 RC 1...19:47
Mehrabgorgonizer: you mean I should wait for 4.5 or try the RC?19:48
gorgonizerI have not used KDE 4.4.5, but to solve it prior to KDE 4.5 RC 1, I used to delete the .xsession-errors file... not sure if that is a good thing, but it stopped the issue ;)19:48
gorgonizerMehrab: for me 4.5 RC 1 is very stable, and I like the changes from 4.4 to 4.5... but it is only a release candidate..19:50
Mehrabgorgonizer: I may try RC1 if I won't find a solution for this19:52
