avihaylontra: yes, it's not an incremental update00:20
lontrabut why isn't pushed as a normal update?00:23
James147lontra: so that prople dont have to upgrade as it 'could' break their system (or at least thats what I think)00:27
jcgshi, can anyone help me, i'm currently struggling with grep?01:47
Torchjcgs: ask your question, don't ask to ask ;-)01:47
jcgsok, i'm trying to match the letter i at the beginning of a line, how would i do that?01:47
Torchgrep ^i01:47
jcgsTorch: Cheers, why doesn't it say that in man grep?01:49
Torchjcgs: because the man page can't teach you regular expressions too01:49
Torchjcgs: i guess...01:49
jcgsTorch: one more thing, i was trying to use grep [:space:]i[:space:] to match an i surrounded by whitespace, but that appeared to do the opposite, what's going on?01:51
Torchjcgs: grep only understands a very limited subset of regular expressions.01:51
Torchjcgs: it can do what you want, however, if you just use grep " i " (literally)01:51
Torchjcgs: it won't match anything else but the space char itself with this, of course.01:52
Torchjcgs: for anything more complicated use egrep or perl01:52
jcgsTorch: ah, but [:space:] is specifically listed in man grep01:52
Torchjcgs: maybe ;-)01:52
Torchjcgs: i'm not a grep guru01:53
jcgsTorch: I also tried grep -E which is the same as egrep. could this be a bug?01:54
Torchjcgs: very very unlikely01:54
Torchjcgs: stuff like grep is simple enough to just work01:54
jcgsTorch: presumably more likely to be a mistake in the documentation01:55
jcgsTorch: anyway thanks a lot :)01:57
Torchjcgs: it's [[:space:]]02:00
Torchjcgs: probably some escape-bug in the manpage02:00
Typos_King_" i "   should be fine02:01
=== rootusr is now known as tutux
=== tutux is now known as tutuxg
jcgsTorch: it seems like [[:space:]] requires egrep to work, but doesn't match new lines02:03
Torchjcgs: regular expression syntax does not normally match a newline, it's a special case (at least in perl)02:03
Demolitiohey, would anybody be able to point me towards some screenshots of the stock theme for Kubuntu 10.04?02:04
Torchjcgs: as you already found out i'm not a 100% familiar with what grep and egrep do with it.02:04
TorchDemolitio: www.kde.org?02:04

EzroHey guys, can someone help with kontact?03:15
EzroI really like the look of it, but I was wondering if I can use my hotmail account with it03:15
=== thiago is now known as Guest20584
newboon2ageEzro: i haven't played with kontact, but i'd be willing to look at it w/ you.  I don't have a hotmail account, but the settings are probably easily found...03:22
EzroYa, it looks like a really cool program.03:22
EzroI setup my identity with my hotmail account03:22
EzroBut it still says I need to make an acount03:22
Ezroaccount*03:23
newboon2ageEzro: hotmail is saying that or kontact is saying that?03:23
EzroI actually found the account wizard.03:24
EzroNow I just need to figure out what hotmail is lol03:24
newboon2ageEzro: so are you talking about the 'Add' under Setup for Sending and Receiving Messages?03:25
ridinmsn?03:25
EzroYa.03:25
DragnslcrEzro- http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!44348.entry03:27
DragnslcrThat has the POP3 and SMTP settings you need03:27
EzroYa, so I got my hotmail to work.03:31
EzroBut now it 1) won't fetch all my files and 2) won't read html -_-03:31
newboon2ageEzro: kontact won't?  (Actually it looks like its kmail)03:32
EzroYa, it's kmail03:33
newboon2ageEzro: when you say 'fetch ... files' are you talking about kmail handling attachments?03:34
EzroNo, I mean when I click check mail03:34
EzroIt doesn't load all my emails03:34
newboon2ageEzro: do you notice any pattern to which ones it gets/doesn't get?  Like is it missing nested folders or something?  Or maybe maxes out at a certain number of e-mails on each fetch?03:36
Ezro./shrug03:37
EzroNot really.03:37
EzroI think it was just taking a while. I got my most recent email.03:37
EzroIt won't get mail from my other folders though.03:37
EzroLike in hotmail I have a folder for school and it won't get the emails from there.03:37
newboon2ageEzro: is it getting more mail each time you fetch?03:38
EzroIt stopped.03:39
EzroIt only got emails from my inbox03:39
newboon2ageEzro: I don't know if this means anything, but i notice in the POP Setup it asks for 'destination folder' and only gives 'Inbox' as a choice.03:43
EzroWhere is that?03:45
EzroThe only thing I know for accounts is the account wizard lol03:45
newboon2ageEzro: yes, you called it the 'account wizard'03:46
Ezroo.o03:46
newboon2ageEzro: i wonder if you go into kmail and give it some other folders that match what's on hotmail if that would get it working...03:56
TeslaTonyI'm using Kubuntu Netbook Remix, and every time I try hooking up to an unsecured network, knetworkmanager tries treating it as the last one I signed in to, and proceeds to do nothing. If I delete the old network, it works fine. Solutions?05:31

henkka-hello06:38
henkka-could someone help me out with installing IGS Pandanet go client for linux I am using kubuntu 10.0406:38
henkka-they have .rpm .deb and .tar.gz file with installer I tried all of them but when trying to start the program nothing happens06:39
henkka-I dont know too much about linux06:39
newboon2agehenkka-: i think i may have seen something to change .rpm to .deb today... let me check...06:40
henkka-no i mean06:40
henkka-they have 3 files06:40
henkka-.deb and .rpm and a .tar.gz06:40
henkka-so i tried each of them but06:40
newboon2agehenkka-: oh, so the one you want is the .deb file06:40
newboon2agewhat is the link to the download?06:41
henkka-http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/glgo/download.html06:41
newboon2agehenkka-: i'll try it out and see if i can get it going...06:42
henkka-ok thanks06:42
henkka-i'll try installing the .deb one more time but i already did this once06:42
henkka-do I need to remove the previous installations06:43
henkka-since I think I tried to install the .rpm file first but didnt remove it before trying the .deb06:43
henkka-?06:43
newboon2agehenkka-: i'm not sure, but i don't think so, good question.06:44
henkka-btw when removing installations from kpackage manager06:45
henkka-it resolves the dependencies and06:45
henkka-last time I uninstalled something from there06:45
henkka-it uninstalled the dependencies as well06:45
henkka-which sort of resulted to that I had to reinstall linux06:45
henkka-so now im trying to avoid uninstalling things06:45
henkka-:D06:45
newboon2agehenkka-: hmmm... usually using kpackage manager is by far safer than doing it manually because if you don't resolve dependencies you can end up in a pickle.  What was it you uninstalled (while i wait for the download to finish)...06:46
henkka-i dont remember06:47
henkka-yeah I meant i used the program06:47
henkka-kpackage kit06:47
henkka-and it uninstalled the dependencies06:47
henkka-but probably i did something wrong06:47
henkka-anyway I reinstalled linux after that and now there's no problem06:47
henkka-btw the download from the site is06:48
henkka-it tends to pause06:48
henkka-i dont know how it's with other browsers but with firefox I had to click the pause/continue download putton a couple of times to get the file06:48
newboon2agehenkka-: it must have been something critical to the desktop or some inner workings of Kubuntu or something.  Yes, you do have to be a little cautious when uninstalling, so i generally look at the list to make sure nothing important is going to be uninstalled.06:48
henkka-I think it was a chess program06:48
henkka-but it uninstalled the dependencies as well06:49
henkka-like whatever was required for the chess program to function06:49
henkka-but anyway that's not related to this Go client issue06:49
henkka-just explaining why i dont uninstall things unnecessarily06:50
henkka-:D06:50
newboon2agehenkka-: first i downloaded w/ Konqueror but i'm not sure where it put it...06:59
henkka-i think it should be at usr/games/glgo07:00
newboon2agehenkka-: i'll check...07:00
newboon2agehenkka-: so please tell me this.  When you downloaded it did you use Konqueror and if so did you right click on it and if so which option did you pick?07:03
henkka-i used firefox07:03
henkka-and open with the default package handler for .deb files07:04
newboon2agehenkka-: did you save it or use gdebi?07:04
henkka-GDebi07:04
newboon2ageokay... checking....07:04
newboon2agehenkka-: well this is funky... the first time when i tried to download it with konqueror i got the progress bar and all, but i'm not sure if it completed the download or where it put it.  Now i'm trying it with firefox and it seems to stall indefinitely on the 'starting' to download, no progress...07:12
abhi_navnewboon2age, hello07:12
newboon2ageabhi_nav: hey...07:13
abhi_navnewboon2age, you here too?07:13
henkka-yea07:13
newboon2ageabhi_nav: sure, learning more about kubuntu07:13
henkka-there's some problem with hte site07:13
henkka-but htere's an FTP from which there's no problem07:13
abhi_navnewboon2age, me too. just installed kde yesterday. its cool!!!!07:13
newboon2ageabhi_nav: awesome.07:14
abhi_navyah07:14
henkka-http://panda-igs.joyjoy.net/English/glgo/downloads/07:14
newboon2agehenkka-: sure, i'll try that...07:14
newboon2agehenkka-: hmm... gdebi objects to installing it because its for i386 and my machine is amd64... but let me try some things...07:16
abhi_navnewboon2age, do you know shortcuts for min,max,restore in kde?07:17
newboon2agehenkka-: wow, even dpkg stops me cold.  won't let me install it.  :/07:22
henkka-well that's ok07:22
henkka-it's been quitea bit of trouble already07:22
newboon2agehenkka-: i think i'd try deleting everything from their directory and reinstalling using gdebi if possible.  I think since its .deb it should basically configure itself properly (at least in terms of which directories it puts itself in and all)07:23
newboon2agehenkka-: and if its just a matter of it not showing up on the menus as you expected, well that can be fixed..07:24
henkka-yea but it's not starting at all07:24
henkka-i dont even know how to delete the files07:24
henkka-:D07:24
abhi_nav??07:24
abhi_navnobody tell me that :(07:25
newboon2agehenkka-: well if you use the file manager (Dolphin) you can navigate to the directory you mentioned07:25
henkka-yea but07:25
henkka-it doesnt allow deleting files there07:25
henkka-i thought it's because it's in the root section07:25
newboon2agehenkka-: ah,07:25
henkka-instead of home07:25
newboon2agehenkka-: okay let me check something...07:26
macoyoud need to run it as root then07:26
macokdesu dolphin07:26
macobut you shouldnt uninstall by manually deleting files...07:26
henkka-yea that workd07:26
newboon2agemaco: thank you maco .  how would you suggest..07:26
macoyou uninstall software by uninstalling it :P07:27
macosudo apt-get remove <package name>07:27
macoor use kpackagekit if you prefer07:27
macoor ahhh i see, arch difference07:27
macoif apt-get is unhappy, there's always "sudo dpkg -P <package name>"07:27
macoto remove/purge a package07:27
henkka-but anyway the program still wont start so07:28
henkka-i dunno07:28
macoif its compiled for a different architecture than you're running, thats no surprise07:29
newboon2agemaco: well that was me, not henkka-07:29
macoit wont be able to find the libraries it needs of the right architecure07:29
macooh07:29
macobahh im getting so confused07:29
newboon2agemaco: sorry07:29
abhi_nav:'(07:29
henkka-im tryin to start IGS panda net Go client07:30
henkka-for the game of go07:30
henkka-their website has 3 downloads for linux07:30
henkka-.rpm .deb and tar.gz which contains scripts or so it says07:30
henkka-it tried each of teh 3 but07:30
henkka-none of them worked07:30
henkka-so I dont know07:30
newboon2agehenkka-: when you say won't start, exactly what are you doing?07:30
FloodBotK2henkka-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.07:30
newboon2agehenkka-: and what results do you get?07:30
henkka-well i go to the executable file in the usr/games/glgo directory07:31
henkka-and try to start it but notthing happens07:31
newboon2agehenkka-: how do you try to start it?07:31
henkka-i also tried pressing alt+f2 and typing glGo there but it returns no valid options beyond that and start menu i've no idea how it's supposed to do07:31
henkka-i also tried with root dolphin07:31
henkka-now that i figured such athing exists07:32
henkka-or maco said07:32
newboon2agehenkka-: when you say try to start it are you typing a command at the terminal or clicking on it in dolphin or....07:32
henkka-clicking on it in dolphin07:32
newboon2agehenkka-: it may be that the permissions need to be set so its an executable.07:33
henkka-it is set as an executable07:33
henkka-by default i checked that07:33
henkka-=D07:33
newboon2agehenkka-: what is the file name?07:33
henkka-glGo07:33
newboon2agehenkka-: is there an extension?07:33
henkka-no.. but it says type: executable and when you go to permissions it has the is executable box ticked07:34
newboon2agemaco: any ideas?07:34
henkka-in anycase even if it was possible for me to somehow manually start this program, I'm assuming that if it's any more complicated than this then07:34
henkka-it's going wrong07:34
henkka-for whoever made this probably didnt make it as difficult as possible07:35
henkka-:D07:35
macois thre a README in the tarball?07:35
newboon2agehenkka-: well there could be something we're not thinking of... i'll check the web site... hang on...07:35
macoi'd start there07:35
henkka-no there isnt07:35
henkka-there's some instructions on the website which i read somewhat07:35
henkka-http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/glgo/download.html07:36
newboon2agehenkka-: check http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/glgo/Install.txt07:37
henkka-yea i read that07:37
henkka-doesnt mean i got much out of it :D07:37
newboon2agehenkka-: it says (among other things) '' If you use the Gnome desktop, you already have all of these libraries.07:37
henkka-well am i using  ?  I dont know :D07:38
henkka-i jsut assumed that since it said most distributions have teh things07:38
newboon2agehenkka-: you don't have the gnome desktop, so probably several of those libraries you'll need to install07:38
newboon2agehenkka-:  i think you'll need to go down the list of libraries and using Kpackage kit, match each one and install it if you don't have it already.07:40
henkka-oh07:40
newboon2agehenkka-: see kubuntu uses KDE libraries instead of the gnome libraries.07:41
newboon2agehenkka-: whereas Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop.07:41
newboon2agehenkka-: so parts of teh Gnome desktop, Kubuntu won't have at least not by default.07:42
newboon2agehenkka-: doesn't mean you can't add them...07:42
newboon2agehenkka-: the nice thing is they provided a list which you can just work your way through.07:43
henkka-yeah07:44
henkka-i'll do that but now im kind of tired after all this s07:44
henkka-so I think i'll do that later then07:44
newboon2agehenkka-: interesting they also say it can use the GNU go program, which might be much easier to install...07:44
newboon2agehenkka-: if you wait just a minute, let me check that real quick...07:45
newboon2agehenkka-: well that is right there in Kpackagekit.  Just search for gnugo and its an easy install...07:46
henkka-ok07:46
newboon2agehenkka-: the only thing i see in install to add is "Make sure the gnugo binary is found in your PATH environment, so glGo will find it. Common locations are /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin or /usr/games/bin.07:48
newboon2agemaco: can you help with adding that to the PATH?07:49
macojust add to ~/.bashrc:07:49
macoexport PATH=/whatever/path/you/want:$PATH07:49
macobut if its packaged i expect gnugo to be in /usr/bin/ anyway07:50
macoand thats part of the default $PATH07:50
newboon2agemaco: and does that mean adding it to the PATH wouldn't be necessary?07:50
newboon2agemaco: gotcha07:51
macoright07:51
newboon2agehenkka-: so i just had kpackagekit install GNU Go on my machine.  According to the install instructions the web site should be able to find your GNU Go.07:52
newboon2agehenkka-: once you've installed it that is...07:52
henkka-kk07:52
henkka-but how do i start07:53
henkka-I mean07:53
henkka-i dont knwo07:54
newboon2agehenkka-: good question.  I went over to their web site.  You probably know a little more about it than i07:54
henkka-not really :D07:54
henkka-but07:55
henkka-how do i start gnugo07:55
henkka-on it's own07:55
henkka-?07:55
newboon2agehenkka-: i just started it from the command line typing gnugo.  I don't know if it has a gui or not...07:56
henkka-but it didnt start07:57
henkka-:D07:57
henkka-im gonna smoke brb07:57
newboon2agehenkka-: started for moi07:57
newboon2agehenkka-: if you tried to start it w/ alt+F2 that probably wouldn't work.  you'd need to go to a terminal window.  I'm checking to see if there's a gui for it.08:01
henkka-yea it started from terminal08:02
henkka-there's a grid that represents the board08:02
henkka-apparently yo can play against computer by default there :D08:03
henkka-=D08:05
henkka-it plays very well too :)08:05
newboon2agehenkka-: i see several things that talk about GUIs for GNU go, one called gnomego.  I'd guess at least one of them is available in the repositories.  I'm out of time now, but I think this is a very doable thing... if you ask around you can probably get it going...08:07
henkka-yeah... thanks for your help08:07
newboon2agehenkka-: sure enough... have a kUbuntu day!08:07
henkka-=D08:08
henkka-hehe to be honest im not very fond of linux after using it08:08
henkka-yey i managed to win :D08:14

starslightshello to everyone, i will need advice to how choose the best category to report a bug about kernel update, i mean that from Lucid, i have 3 times a serious problem after updating the system (the kernel ) because at boot KDM wasn't able to find nvidia modules for kernel. Yesterday was a update and it's the third time that i get this problem. i ask while it seem that it miss headers. The only way i found to fix it was to: "sudo aptitude13:33
starslights install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` " who downlad two packages for the kernel and after re-compile it. i restart the system and all worked fine again. so i wiuld like to know what do you mean about that and what i must choose for argument to report the bug, since i don't belive that's a nvidia bug. thanks in advance for any help13:33
ddddddddddd12keepitsimple "dir/file permissions" ?  where located this xxx ?13:34

BluesKajstarslights, there are others with problems with nvidia 9400gt and the nvidia current driver ...not sure why13:44
starslightsok, thanks13:44
Torchstarslights: updateing the kernel will trigger a dkms rebuild for the new kernel. on next reboot, the nvdia module should be compiled and installed and ready for use due to this.13:45

White_Pelicanit's my understanding that kde is up to 4.4.5, yet lucid is only on 4.4.2. How do I upgrade to make use of the bug fixes?16:37

JuJuBeeNeed help.  Just tried to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10  and desktop is white/gray checkerboard.  Systray shows no icons  cannot right click on desktop.  Got an error about ksysguard during upgrade17:45
James147JuJuBee: try running "sudo aptitude install -f"17:47
JuJuBeeJames147: E: I wasn't able to locate file for the ksysguard package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. Writing extended state information... Done17:48
JuJuBeeCan't seem to get rid of ksysguard17:48
James147:S17:49
ScuniziJuJuBee: in order to run the command James147 gave you... CTRL+ALT+F2 should get you to a terminal .. also run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade17:49
JuJuBeeScunizi: tried all that17:49
Scuniziah.. k17:49
ScuniziI've got a question.... when I go to /home in Dolphin the directory show all my subdirectories including a folder for my /home.. as in .. "my user name".. when clicked nothing happens of course because I'm in my home folder.. why does it show that folder ??17:50
solifugusWould somebody please respond to this message with my nick so I can see if this irc client highlights messages to me in a particular color?18:29
James147solifugus:18:29
solifugusYellow!!  That's it.. thanks18:30
solifugusnope.. it's a different color depending on who is making the message..  I have no way of looking back to see who might have said anything to me, other than extremely tediously reading every line..18:33
Torchsolifugus: just use konversation ;-)18:34
slinker1hehe18:34
slow-motionre18:35
matrixx_or irssi :)18:35
slinker2oh my i have gotten spoiled with konversation its been a while since i used irssi :)18:39
solifugusTorch: yes.. that's my favorite.. I'm stuck with Pidgen on this particular system, though.  It's not my system.  I cannot get kubuntu up yet on my own box, because I cannot figure out how to get the video display working.. It installed Noveau driver; the nvidia driver install is broken in (k)ubuntu (currently) I hear; and I am not sure how to get vesa working (i installed it).18:40
slinker1hmm no probs with nvidia here 64bit18:41
Riddell** Kubuntu Tutorials day in 20 minutes in #kubuntu-devel https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuTutorialsDay18:42
solifugusslinker1: well.. I may try again.. I only have the command line to install from... Last tutorial I found on google for that didn't seem to work..18:47
=== matrixx_ is now known as matrixx
slinker1solifugus: ahh what version are you installing?18:48
solifugusslinker1: I tried 10.0418:49
slinker1solifugus: what video card ?18:49
solifugusI will try 9.10, next..18:49
solifugusIt's nvidia.. lspci gives a funny looking number for the type18:50
solifugusforget what it was..  have to recheck..18:50
slinker1solifugus: lappy or desktop?18:50
solifugusIt's on a Dell Precision T150018:50
solifugusThe installer gives me a gui, not problem.. but not when booting after installing18:51
solifugusUbuntu won't even give me gui from the livecd18:51
solifugusI'm pretty sure vesa driver would work..18:52
slinker1solifugus: hmmm wonder if its a quadro or a geforce probably quadro i would think18:52
solifugusyes.. it is18:52
demismhow can I run a program in the background and keep it running even after I log off?18:52
slinker1solifugus: yeah looks like fx380 probably18:53
Torchsolifugus: i installed the nvidia driver just fine a couple of days ago on kubuntu.18:54
solifugusTorch: do you know how to do that from the command line?18:54
Torchsolifugus: i could find out18:54
Torchsolifugus: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings" should work18:55
slinker1yep should from what i can find right quickly here sorry for the delay at work :)18:56
slinker1256.35 lists it as supported18:58
solifugusTorch: I think that's what I tried before... but not entirely sure.. So I'll try that.  Thanks..18:59
solifugusneed to go18:59

gwrtheyrnhi. does someone know whether i can change the background color (default a very light grey) of normal text notes in BasKet 1.0?21:13

ErtainHello everyone.  I'm running Lucid and I can't seem to get sound recording going.  When I plug my headset in I can speak and the sound comes through my speakers.23:07
ErtainMy problem is that no recording program (e.g. Audacity) picks it up.23:08
ErtainI've tried fiddling with the settings (choosing one input, then choosing another input), and have tried messing with the microphone settings in Kmix (choosing mic2 instead of mic1) but to no avail.23:08
salptaSounds like Pulseaudio strikes again, Ertain.  Try loading the rest of the PA packages (Specifically Pulseaudio Device chooser).23:14
ErtainWhat do you mean, salpta?23:15
