| poyntz | what's the best media player for kde 4.4. please don't say dragon player | 00:39 |
| maco | kaffeine? | 00:39 |
| owner | maco | 00:40 |
| poyntz | are you using it? | 00:40 |
| maco | no i just use dragon | 00:40 |
| poyntz | basically I want something that's as good as MPlayer for KDE if possible | 00:40 |
| maco | but kaffeine is the more featureful one | 00:40 |
| Torch | i'd suggest VLC | 00:40 |

| Torch | not kde, but qt | 00:40 |
| maco | vlc is t | 00:40 |
| Torch | good enough | 00:40 |
| owner | ponyntz do u know nay thing a bout skype | 00:40 |

| poyntz | owner: what do you need to know? | 00:41 |
| Torch | maco: heh, good hint. | 00:41 |
| poyntz | maco: does dragon play dvds for you? | 00:41 |
| maco | owner: skype has forums where you can report a bug and get help | 00:41 |
| maco | poyntz: yes | 00:41 |
| owner | well iam using skype | 00:41 |
| owner | and it was working find for me | 00:41 |
| poyntz | maco: for me it will play a few screens and then it cuts out | 00:41 |
| owner | then it just sign off | 00:41 |
| owner | i wen to that part | 00:41 |
| poyntz | maco: furthermore the vid quality sucks and I have the latest linux graphics drivers installed | 00:42 |
| owner | ubbuot u have promble? | 00:42 |
| maco | owner: really, there is NOTHING that anyone other than skype developers can do about bugs because it's closed source software | 00:42 |
| owner | ok | 00:42 |
| maco | owner: ubottu is a bot | 00:42 |
| owner | lol | 00:42 |
| poyntz | owner: it just logs out? | 00:42 |
| owner | yes | 00:42 |
| owner | it go on then loggs out by it self | 00:42 |
| owner | i wen to site to see wat i can do | 00:43 |
| poyntz | owner: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge skype && sudo apt-get install skype | 00:43 |
| poyntz | owner: even better | 00:44 |
| owner | ty | 00:44 |
| poyntz | owner: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge skype | 00:44 |
| poyntz | owner: restart | 00:44 |
| poyntz | owner: sudo apt-get install skype | 00:44 |
| * Torch notes that linux is not windows. and reinstalling hardly ever helps. | 00:44 | |
| Torch | (not even on windows) | 00:45 |
| poyntz | owner: if you wanna restart from konsole type sudo init 6 | 00:45 |
| owner | ok brb | 00:45 |
| poyntz | maco: have you installed any special packages for dragon? | 00:46 |
| poyntz | i didn't install kde 4.4 fresh, i upgraded from kubuntu karmic to kubuntu lucid | 00:46 |
| poyntz | it could have broken some dependencies in dragon player, not too sure | 00:47 |
| poyntz | unless, is kubuntu-restricted-extras required for running dvds effectively from dragon player? | 00:47 |
| * Torch goes check if dragon plays DVDs for him. | 00:47 | |
| maco | if they play at all, then you have all you need | 00:48 |
| poyntz | :S | 00:48 |
| poyntz | bizarre | 00:48 |
| maco | if you didnt have, for example, libdvdcss (which isnt in restricted extras) it wouldnt play at all because it couldnt get past the encryption | 00:48 |
| maco | though did you say it cuts off after a couple frames? | 00:48 |
| maco | because that could happen without libdvdcss2 | 00:49 |
| poyntz | yaa. basically it flashes all the UK & Ireland, Australia rules on copyright, etc. then it stops playing :/ | 00:49 |
| maco | !medibuntu | 00:49 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:49 |
| maco | ok then that sounds like encryption | 00:50 |
| maco | i thought before you meant it played partway through the actual movie part before breaking | 00:50 |
| poyntz | see it should encrypt. i'd almost place a bet that if I installed MPlayer I wouldn't get the problem. only I wanna stick to KDE as much as possible if possible | 00:50 |
| maco | (Sony has *lovely* DRM that makes dvd ripping barf halfway through discs for example... inserting corrupted sections so rippers trip but hardware players are fine) | 00:50 |
| poyntz | going GTK is cheating | 00:50 |
| maco | well vlc isnt gtk, if you want to use that | 00:51 |
| poyntz | it's qt4? | 00:51 |
| maco | i do use mplayer for things like .flv's | 00:51 |
| Torch | poyntz: yes | 00:51 |
| maco | yep depends on libqtgui4 | 00:51 |
| poyntz | ahh. sorry for the copious amounts of questions. but if i'm not wrong isn't vlc resource hungry? | 00:51 |
| Torch | poyntz: no | 00:52 |
| poyntz | k, i'll install. ty | 00:52 |
| poyntz | was hoping I could fix dragon tho | 00:52 |
| poyntz | a media player should be able to be made to play anything with the appropriate codecs and vid drivers | 00:52 |
| poyntz | no reason to need more than one | 00:52 |
| Torch | poyntz: patches are surely welcome | 00:53 |
| poyntz | yaa. i'm hoping they exist. but unfortunately not in the official reps :/ | 00:54 |
| maco | poyntz: by the way, vlc and mplayer dont depend on whether you installed libdvdcss2 like every other player does. they bundle it, which is what puts them in a questionably legal area | 00:54 |
| poyntz | ahh. so they're not dependant on the kde backbone | 00:54 |
| maco | so yes, its possible they'll play when others wont, simply because you dont have the illegal-in-the-US package to decrypt DVDs | 00:54 |
| * maco kicks the DMCA | 00:54 | |
| poyntz | !medibuntu > poyntz | 00:54 |
| ubottu | poyntz, please see my private message | 00:54 |
| poyntz | well that was useless lol | 00:55 |
| poyntz | it tells me package medibuntu is not available in lucid :P | 00:55 |
| maco | its not a package | 00:55 |
| maco | its a repository | 00:55 |
| Torch | maco: vlc on kubuntu does not bundle libdvdcss2 | 00:55 |
| Torch | maco: at least not for me. | 00:56 |
| maco | Torch: oh. does it just have the script for installing it instead? | 00:56 |
| Torch | maco: not anymore | 00:56 |
| Torch | maco: just a readme where to get a deb | 00:56 |
| Torch | after installing libdvdcss from said source, dragon plays my test DVD | 00:57 |
| Torch | vlc does not (yet) | 00:57 |
| Torch | amazing. | 00:57 |
| poyntz | maco: ahh k. and does it provide the libdvdcss2 package? | 00:58 |
| muesli | whatever qt app i'm currently starting, i get this warning: | 01:00 |
| muesli | QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory | 01:00 |
| Torch | poyntz: do you have me on ignore? | 01:00 |
| poyntz | maco Torch : see thing that doesn't make sense to me is how medibuntu is going to change things. if the kde environment doesn't automatically look for the medibuntu packages, installing the packages aint gonna change anything with dragon player | 01:01 |
| poyntz | Torch: naa mate | 01:01 |
| muesli | does it mean kubuntu 10.04 isn't running an inotify deamon? | 01:03 |
| muesli | oh i see, that path really doesn't exist | 01:05 |
| owner | poyntz u there? | 01:05 |
| Torch | ah, ok, now vlc works, too. | 01:06 |

| mshorts | having problems getting wirless card to work.. did the | 01:06 |
| mshorts | install of microsoft driver, etc.. nothing working | 01:07 |
| Firefishe | mshorts: What distro release, and what kind of wireless card? | 01:08 |
| mshorts | new to linux.. dont know what distro is.. wireless card is on a dell inspiron 1526, chipset 14e4:4315 | 01:09 |
| Firefishe | the chipset hardware address isn't really what we need here. We need to find what brand of wireless chip is in your laptop | 01:09 |
| mshorts | ok. how do I get that? I had downloaded the dell driver from dell R173592 | 01:10 |

| Firefishe | WIRELESS Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN MiniCard Version: 4.170.25.12, A17 | 01:15 |
| Firefishe | I think that's it | 01:15 |
| mshorts | looks right | 01:16 |
| owner | poyntz | 01:16 |
| Firefishe | Typos_King: Where do we find that driver? What's the web site again for wireless lan in ubuntu or linux in general? | 01:16 |
| mshorts | did the whole downloading drivers, extract, making it work with the windows interface stuff, blacklisting P43 | 01:16 |
| Typos_King | Firefishe: usually, the database will already have it | 01:17 |
| Firefishe | Typos_King: I see | 01:17 |
| poyntz | owner: yep | 01:17 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: what's not working? | 01:18 |
| Firefishe | what's the CLI syntax for finding out the build one is on. It's not `uname -r', but rather another command. | 01:18 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: try in the shell -> iwconfig | 01:19 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: and also paste it :) | 01:19 |
| mshorts | Specifically, the Network Admin tab is greyed out after i blacklist the p43 and I can't scan for wireless or not given the option to scan. If I delete the blacklist, it comes back but I press scan and nothing happens. | 01:19 |
| Firefishe | mshorts: gnome? kde? | 01:20 |
| mshorts | kde | 01:20 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: what does iwconfig give you? | 01:20 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: anyhow, pastie.org, or paste2.org or so | 01:20 |
| poyntz | does kpackagekit not work in kde 4.4? | 01:21 |
| mshorts | http://paste.ubuntu.com/461358/ | 01:22 |
| Typos_King | meaning the drivers are loaded and all | 01:23 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: then the interface is up and running, on wlan0 | 01:23 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: you just need .... a network manager... I'd not use knetworkmanager, instead, try using apt-get to install -> sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome; | 01:23 |
| mshorts | i think that happend after I removed the blacklist, when i blacklist, it only shows Lo and Eth) | 01:23 |
| Typos_King | knetworkmanager is a bit.... in need of more work :) | 01:24 |
| Firefishe | Typos_King: I'm on 10.04 LTS, and I couldn't agree more. Tell me, how do I set it up so nm-applet is what kde uses exclusively? | 01:24 |
| mshorts | http://paste.ubuntu.com/461359/ This is what it said after that command | 01:25 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: that means you already have it, Kill knetworkmanager, if running, and then run -> nm-applet; and use that to connect | 01:26 |
| mshorts | i typed nm-applet and it sais an instance of nm-applet is already running | 01:27 |
| Typos_King | Firefishe: I run it manually, I don't use Kwin for WM anyway :), but for Kwin, I think you can include nm-applet in the System Settings > Autostart, and you may be able to remove knetworkmanager from either Default Applications, or Service Manager | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: then... check your system tray | 01:29 |
| blain | network manager doesnt seem to connect to networks that are hidden | 01:29 |
| mshorts | i dont see any kind of network management.. where would it be, right or left side | 01:29 |
| Typos_King | ... one sec | 01:30 |
| mshorts | oh.. mabey its referring to the green 'connected' icon on right side.. that is connected so I can chat U thru the wired connection | 01:30 |
| Firefishe | Typos_King: I found this on a kde forum, which I've pasted here: http://pastebin.com/vqbwvCJ6 | 01:31 |
| Typos_King | .... | 01:31 |
| Typos_King | Firefishe: hehhe | 01:31 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: can't recall it's icon when not connected... mine connects automatically as I run it.... I think it has a red X on it, in the tray | 01:32 |
| mshorts | no red x | 01:33 |
| Firefishe | Typos_King: Now, I've been pretty lucky. The only item I've really had an issue with regarding knetwork-manager in the system tray is having to delete profiles on occasion. It doesn't always seem to be able to discern which one is which. | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | Firefishe: hasn't worked for me rather well | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | and it's interface is too cluttered | 01:34 |
| Firefishe | nm-applet is tried-and-true---it just works. | 01:35 |
| mshorts | is there a way to run the gnome network manager thru the GUI, i can't seem to start it using command line | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: it said, it's already started | 01:36 |
| mshorts | it sais its already running but i'm not seeing anything but the network manager that i been using already thats not working | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | so, it's there | 01:36 |
| * Torch uses knetworkmanager without any problems. | 01:36 | |
| Typos_King | mshorts: can you give a quick screenshot of your system tray? at imgur.com | 01:37 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: the icon when not connected looks like -> http://clarkbw.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/network-offline.png | 01:39 |
| mshorts | need a quick lesson in doing a screenshot in linux. | 01:39 |
| Typos_King | so, when running, it'll show in the tray like so | 01:39 |
| mshorts | ok.. i'm not seeing that icon in the tray | 01:39 |
| Typos_King | when connected, it just shows the connectivity-strength bar chart | 01:39 |
| Typos_King | mshorts: see if you can install -> sudo apt-get install qps; | 01:40 |
| Typos_King | I'm guessing knetworkmanager and nm-applet are both running and conflicting | 01:41 |
| Typos_King | qps is a sorta GUI 'top' app, process manager | 01:41 |
| mshorts | ok.. ran that command and installed | 01:41 |
| mshorts | now what | 01:41 |
| Typos_King | run qps | 01:41 |
| Typos_King | and look for 'knetworkmanager' and 'nm-applet', it has a search box, so, you can just type in to find them, and Kill them | 01:42 |
| mshorts | is that the command line command, it sais run: command not found | 01:42 |
| Typos_King | yes | 01:42 |
| Typos_King | qps | 01:43 |
| Typos_King | if not found, then is not installed | 01:43 |
| mshorts | ok, qps works, hang on | 01:43 |
| mshorts | weird.. knetworkmanager was there and I killed it but nm wasnt | 01:44 |
| Typos_King | well | 01:44 |
| Typos_King | run nm-applet | 01:44 |
| Typos_King | it should show in the tray | 01:45 |
| Typos_King | meh, my dash time :) | 01:46 |
| poyntz | Torch: thanks for that mate. installing libdvdcss2 fixed the problem | 01:46 |

| poyntz | performs much better with the hardware than windows or mac | 01:51 |
| mshorts | i'm so frustrated i can't see straight just to get this wirless card working | 01:52 |
| mshorts | i've been wiki'ing all day long and still have accomplished 0 | 01:52 |
| Firefishe | mshorts: The trick is to *watch the system tray icon* and see what it's doing when you do that. The tray icon usually has a couple of dots with a circular motion going from one to the other when it's loading an IP address. | 01:52 |
| Firefishe | mshorts: *That* trick is to take an hour off, come back, and try again ;) | 01:52 |
| poyntz | why does video playback quality suck on full screen dragon player? | 01:52 |

| mshorts | fricken ey. | 01:55 |
| Firefishe | mshorts: What'd you do to make it work? | 01:55 |
| mshorts | now i need to do what | 01:55 |
| mshorts | dunno, i redid the command and watched the system tray and saw the 2 computer icon | 01:55 |
| mshorts | nm-applet & | 01:55 |
| Firefishe | If you're connected, open a browser and see if you can connect. | 01:55 |
| Firefishe | ie, open a web page | 01:55 |
| mshorts | the problem is in the wireless.. i can connect fine because right now i'm wired | 01:56 |
| Firefishe | mshorts: Do you have an external slide switch for the wi-fi radio? | 01:57 |
| jj26linux | wow so I just installed kubuntu for the first time today | 01:57 |
| mshorts | ok.. when i clicked wireless tab, got a bunch of stuff in the terminal | 01:57 |
| jj26linux | pretty big dif | 01:57 |
| mshorts | slide switch is on | 01:58 |
| * jj26linux needs to leran the ropes | 01:58 | |
| Firefishe | mshorts: I have an Asus G50V and for some reason I have to leave my slide switch on when I boot, or it won't recognize it when I turn it from OFF to ON. It seems to have problems recognizing it as a system event. | 01:59 |
| mshorts | http://pastebin.com/KKNunBDh | 01:59 |
| Firefishe | mshorts: You might open a terminal and try: sudo dhclient wlan0 | 01:59 |
| Firefishe | opening | 02:00 |
| cato37 | hello. i am still having difficulty with the cd/dvd r-w burner. it will only play dvd's and install cd, but will no longer (since adding kubuntu from vista) play or burn other cd's. can someone help? | 02:00 |

| === aaron_ is now known as kfjkid | ||
| poyntz | k i've worked out the problem aint dragon player. it's cause my drivers are out of date | 02:05 |
| poyntz | how do i upgrade to the latest nvidia-drivers and then activate them? | 02:05 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| poyntz | i've already installed nvidia-glx-185 | 02:05 |
| poyntz | except it didn't do anything | 02:05 |
| poyntz | also the "Hardware Drivers" doesn't list any drivers other than nvidia_current (which is outdated) | 02:06 |
| jcgs | poyntz: have you been to http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html ? | 02:06 |
| poyntz | nope. i'll have a look. thanks | 02:06 |
| jcgs | poyntz: that's where nvidia's binary drivers live | 02:08 |
| poyntz | jcgs: i've got to log out of X for this to work. if i don't come back, thanks in advance | 02:12 |
| poyntz | jcgs: mate. i tried installing the driver from the site. it didn't say there were any problems. but when i play vids the quality's still shit | 02:26 |
| jcgs | poyntz: are you sure it's a driver problem? have you tried with another media player, say vlc? | 02:27 |
| jcgs | poyntz: imo, vlc is awesome | 02:27 |
| poyntz | tried vlc | 02:27 |
| poyntz | quality is just as bad | 02:27 |
| jcgs | where is this video coming from? is it a dvd? | 02:28 |
| poyntz | yep | 02:28 |
| poyntz | should i try removing all nvidia drivers and reinstalling the driver from the site? | 02:28 |
| jcgs | sledgehammer to crack nut? | 02:29 |
| poyntz | ? | 02:29 |
| jcgs | i can find out how to check if your binary driver's been loaded, if you give me a sec | 02:29 |
| poyntz | thanks | 02:30 |
| jcgs | btw, was your card on the list of supported products | 02:30 |
| poyntz | yep | 02:30 |
| poyntz | i looked for the driver for the geforce 7 series | 02:30 |
| poyntz | Linux x86 driver | 02:30 |
| poyntz | the file was a .run file | 02:30 |
| poyntz | i installed through console with X disabled | 02:31 |
| poyntz | no errors through installation | 02:31 |
| poyntz | and when it asked if I wanted to confirm rollover to the new driver I selected yes | 02:31 |
| poyntz | again no problems. it told me it successfully installed | 02:32 |
| jcgs | fail :( the nvidia help file says have a look in your X log file | 02:33 |
| jcgs | probably located in /var/log/Xorg.something.log | 02:33 |
| jcgs | the help file is here http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/256.35/README/index.html but it seems pretty outdated, it keeps referring to xfree86 and quake 3 and the like | 02:35 |
| kaitos | ise kde 4.5 rc1 in the beta ppa build on qt 4.7? | 02:36 |
| jcgs | poyntz: i think i agree it probably is worth removing the old drivers, and any extraneous ones lying around | 02:38 |
| marek_ | hello fucking bitch | 02:39 |
| bazhang | marek_, no cursing here | 02:40 |
| poyntz | jcgs: sorry about that. my net keeps dropping out :S | 02:40 |

| poyntz | jcgs: I tried lshw - gave useless info (configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 | 02:46 |
| poyntz | jcgs: this is my xorg.conf settings - Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" | 02:48 |
| poyntz | EndSection | 02:48 |
| poyntz | again useless :/ | 02:48 |
| jcgs | indeed | 02:48 |
| poyntz | but | 02:48 |
| poyntz | that might be the problem ^^ | 02:48 |
| poyntz | isn't the xorg.conf file supposed to contain the driver version? | 02:49 |
| poyntz | but that said, without knowing the kubuntu recognised alias for the driver, if I start adding lines I'll probably screw everything up | 02:49 |
| poyntz | i'm gonna try removing everything and reinstalling the driver from the site. fingers crossed | 02:51 |
| poyntz | thanks for your help jcgs | 02:51 |

| havane31 | done | 03:55 |
| havane31 | thanks | 03:55 |
| havane31 | no 64bits version :/ | 04:02 |
| blain | havane31 i checked some minutes ago and there was a link for it | 04:04 |
| havane31 | i have to use a 32 bits browser | 04:05 |
| bazhang | !flash64 | 04:05 |
| ubottu | You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 04:05 |
| blain | then you haev to use 32bit plugins | 04:05 |
| havane31 | We have temporarily closed the Labs program of Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux, as we are making significant architectural changes to the 64-bit Linux Flash Player and additional security enhancements. | 04:07 |
| havane31 | is there a strong difference between 32 bits and 64 bits linux os? | 04:08 |
| roger__ | havane31: 32 bits of differnce? | 04:10 |
| havane31 | so clever | 04:12 |
| bazhang | havane31, if you dont have more than 4GB of ram, not really | 04:12 |
| bazhang | havane31, if you have precisely 4GB you can use the -pae kernel to access it all | 04:13 |
| havane31 | ok thanks | 04:13 |
| bazhang | just install linux-generic-pae and it will pull in all the rest | 04:14 |
| roger__ | Kmix won't open :-( | 04:15 |
| roger__ | and Flash is mute | 04:15 |
| havane31 | i'll try a 32 bits kubuntu | 04:17 |
| roger__ | I think everything is coming through the headphone channel | 04:23 |
| havane31 | have a nice day bye | 04:23 |

| Monika | I have just installed the Updates (Kubuntu 10.04) and rebooted. Now instead of a mouse pointer I have a colorful fluffy cloud of pixels. Same for icons on the desktop, K menu and icon bar. Restarting X did not help. Desktop effects are off. Ideas? | 12:20 |
| === kim0 is now known as Guest27920 | ||
| Mamarok | hm, you probably got a fluffy desktop item installed, sounds like a question for apachelogger :) | 12:26 |
| blain | Monika n00b question: tried changing the cursor type? | 12:29 |
| Monika | nope, I recently re-installed Kubuntu and haven't installed Fluffy again since then, Mamarok | 12:29 |
| Monika | blain have just tried this, didn't solve it | 12:30 |
| Mamarok | Monika: check the config files, maybe something is left over | 12:30 |
| Mamarok | as I guess you kept your /home | 12:31 |
| blain | try with a new user | 12:31 |
| Mamarok | blain: why? it's mst likely a left over of a previous fluffy installation in the /home | 12:31 |
| Mamarok | most* | 12:31 |
| Monika | deleted .kde, too | 12:32 |
| Mamarok | hm, that sounds weird now | 12:32 |
| Mamarok | no fluffy theme packages somewhere? | 12:32 |
| blain | most likely it is | 12:33 |
| blain | but are you certain | 12:33 |
| Mamarok | blain: well, that's the only explanation | 12:33 |
| Mamarok | the only logical one | 12:33 |
| Mamarok | I have a normal theme with the latest Lucid | 12:33 |
| Monika | but everything worked | 12:33 |
| Monika | until updates today | 12:33 |
| Mamarok | Monika: no ppa activated that could have dragged that in? | 12:36 |
| Monika | the mouse pointer is already strange before login | 12:37 |
| Monika | hmm ... i have a ppa | 12:37 |
| Monika | that I meant to deactivate because it's experimental and forgot | 12:39 |
| Monika | gah | 12:39 |
| Monika | so what do I do? | 12:39 |
| Mamarok | remove it, then the packages will appear as obsolete and can be removed | 12:40 |
| crashev | !nvidia | 12:46 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:46 |
| Monika | Mamarok where do they get marked obsolete? | 12:48 |
| Monika | or how can I remove them? | 12:48 |
| blain | in the apt tree | 12:48 |
| blain | using synaptic for example | 12:48 |
| Monika | yeah but what do i do | 12:48 |
| Mamarok | Monika: you can sue aptitude to remove them | 12:48 |
| Mamarok | use* | 12:48 |
| Monika | how | 12:48 |
| Mamarok | aptitude upgrade, then it should show the obsolete packages | 12:49 |
| Mamarok | and propose to remove them | 12:49 |
| Mamarok | just read that it doesn't remove some files you want to keep | 12:50 |
| Monika | hmDie folgenden Pakete werden ENTFERNT: | 12:52 |
| Monika | linux-headers-2.6.32-22{u} linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic{u} | 12:52 |
| Monika | nothing else | 12:52 |
| Mamarok | hm, then I don't know, what PPA was that? | 12:52 |
| Monika | neversfelde's | 12:53 |
| Mamarok | I use synaptic as a package manager, it allows to see quite easily the leftover configuration files | 12:53 |
| Mamarok | no idea how to see that with kpackagekit | 12:53 |
| Mamarok | I guess there must be an option in apt-get, too | 12:54 |
| Monika | I guess it was not caused by the PPA then | 12:54 |
| Mamarok | did you try sudo apt-get purge? | 12:55 |
| blain | Monika sudo apt-get install synaptic | 12:55 |
| Mamarok | blain: not necessarily a good idea | 12:55 |
| Mamarok | apt-get purge does that | 12:55 |
| Monika | purge also only mentions those two kernels | 12:55 |
| Mamarok | removing the leftover confis | 12:55 |
| blain | whatever | 12:55 |
| Mamarok | hm, I give up, sorry, you should ask apachelogger, fluffy is his baby | 12:56 |
| Monika | I think this is not due to fluffy | 12:56 |
| Monika | I reinstalled Kubuntu and deleted .kde because of other problems | 12:56 |
| Mamarok | well, where else would that fluffy pointer come from then? | 12:56 |
| Monika | it's not fluffy really | 12:56 |
| Monika | it's artefacts | 12:56 |
| Monika | colorful dots | 12:57 |
| Monika | double mousepointer | 12:57 |
| Mamarok | ah | 12:57 |
| Monika | not like part of the Fluffy theme | 12:57 |
| Mamarok | if you change the mousepointer appearance, does that help? | 12:57 |
| Monika | no, didn't help | 12:57 |
| Mamarok | maybe some kwin effect settings going wild? | 12:57 |
| Monika | I turned desktop effects off, do you mean those? | 12:59 |
| Mamarok | right, was just a wild guess | 13:01 |
| Monika | I have rebooted. Now the mouse pointer looks okay. But the icons for the contents of folder views, icons on the desktop, icons in the icon bar are still fuzzy/dizzy/broken. When I make these larger, after a certain threshold they turn "clean" (normal) again. Likewise when I make them really small. But when I return them to medium size, they are broken again. | 13:40 |

| Monika | ati | 13:45 |
| eagles0513875 | cuz im having same issue but my video card is an 8800gt 1gb | 13:45 |
| eagles0513875 | Monika: did you get the ati driver installed? cuz i cant even get my nvidia driver installed either | 13:45 |
| Monika | ati radeon 9600 | 13:45 |
| Monika | with ati radeon driver | 13:46 |
| Monika | fglrx doesn't support it anymore | 13:46 |
| Monika | and it worked until this morning when I installed the updates | 13:46 |
| Monika | the updates included a new kernel ... I would like to try to boot the older kernel, but the list of kernels does not show up in the beginning since my reinstall ... also not when pressing Esc | 13:47 |
| eagles0513875 | there is a way you can do that with grub2 | 13:48 |
| eagles0513875 | !grub2 | Monika | 13:48 |
| ubottu | Monika: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 13:48 |
| eagles0513875 | Monika: comment GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 out and it should give you the boot screen when u press esc | 13:49 |
| eagles0513875 | once you comment that out you have to run sudo update-grub then reboot | 13:49 |
| Mamarok | Monika: just press the shift key when starting up, that displays the menu, no need to change the grub2 settings | 13:58 |

| crashev | !skype | 13:58 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 13:58 |
| Monika | Shift instead of Esc ... the main goal of grub2 is to confuse people, right? ;) | 14:00 |
| crashev | wasnt skype added to ubuntus main repos ? | 14:00 |
| eagles0513875 | Mamarok: thanks about shift didnt know that either | 14:01 |
| bazhang | crashev, partner repo | 14:01 |
| Monika | main certainly not ... maybe partner | 14:01 |
| bazhang | !partner | crashev | 14:01 |
| ubottu | crashev: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 14:01 |
| eagles0513875 | crashev: u can get it from the site i use theirs for 8.04 version and it works fine | 14:01 |
| Mamarok | Monika: no idea who came up with that, it is indeed confusing | 14:04 |
| eagles0513875 | Mamarok: probably me i didnt know about shift till just now i used to change it to where you press esc to get the list of kernels | 14:05 |
| Mamarok | eagles0513875: you are not the grub2 maintainer AFAIK :) So no, it wasn't you | 14:06 |
| eagles0513875 | ahhh ok | 14:06 |
| eagles0513875 | Mamarok: couldnt commenting out the grub hidden timeout as well in teh config | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks, the hidden timeout will cause grub to skip directly to the login, in /etc/default/grub | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | also if the timeout =0 | 14:12 |
| * BluesKaj assumes this discussion is about no grub showing up after boot | 14:13 | |
| === maxim is now known as Guest23676 | ||
| Mamarok | BluesKaj: and the fact that one now has to press the Shift key to show the menu instead of the Esc key | 14:15 |
| Mamarok | very confusing | 14:15 |
| eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: i commented that out and i got grub list to show by pressing esc. i can confirm it tomorrow | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | eagles0513875: I just gave the timeout a value like timeout =5 | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | no need to press shift | 14:17 |
| eagles0513875 | interesting BluesKaj | 14:19 |
| Lantizia | If there a PPA that has more up to date KDE packages? (but not unstable / daily builds) | 15:23 |
| Lantizia | i.e. something keeps up with what KDE themselves state as stable | 15:24 |
| ToxinPowe | Lantizia: 4.5RC1 is on PPA | 15:30 |
| Lantizia | ToxinPowe, which ppa? | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | RC1 isn't considered stable tho | 15:31 |
| Lantizia | and 4.4 is the current stable release | 15:31 |
| ToxinPowe | yes, isn't stable yet | 15:31 |
| ToxinPowe | Lantizia: I dont't have the ppa, sry, but you can find easily on google kde4.5 ppa ubuntu | 15:32 |
| Lantizia | i don't want 4.5! | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | 4,4.2 seems ok ...tried to upgrade to 4.4.5 but no luck , had to reinstall | 15:32 |
| ToxinPowe | oh, sry | 15:32 |
| ToxinPowe | Lantizia | 15:32 |
| ToxinPowe | I have 4.4.5 | 15:33 |
| Lantizia | https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa | 15:33 |
| Lantizia | This is what I'm after I think | 15:34 |
| ToxinPowe | I use this: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ppa/ubuntu lucid main | 15:35 |
| Lantizia | ToxinPowe, why that one? | 15:36 |
| Lantizia | it looks really out of date | 15:36 |
| ToxinPowe | I found this when I want Kde for ubuntu lucid, now I have 4.4.5 and works great for me | 15:37 |
| Lantizia | your PPA has software in it between 1 to 2 years old - nothing from this year | 15:37 |
| Lantizia | it is not even lucud/karmic compatible | 15:37 |
| ToxinPowe | I don't know maybe I'm wrong, I choose ppa with ubuntu-tweak | 15:39 |
| ToxinPowe | but I have 4.4.5 is not too old :s | 15:39 |
| Lantizia | you probably have the one that I linked to | 15:39 |
| ToxinPowe | ok | 15:39 |
| ToxinPowe | sry then | 15:39 |
| Lantizia | think I'll give Kubuntu another go | 15:40 |
| Lantizia | I wish it has Pulseaudio too :S works so much better with my headsety | 15:40 |
| === shadeslayer is now known as Guest85671 | ||
| === Guest85671 is now known as evilshadeslayer | ||
| BluesKaj | Lantizia, you can install pulseaudio if you wish | 16:09 |
| Lantizia | BluesKaj, I know it's just "apt-get install pulseaudio" but is there anything that needs to be done to tie it in? | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | Lantizia, depends on your audio card ...it might just be redundant , but it does provide additional options and features for higher end audio | 16:13 |
| Lantizia | BluesKaj, I'm only interested in it as the instructions for getting my bluetooth headset arn't working | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | !bluetooth | 16:14 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 16:14 |
| Lantizia | BluesKaj, I used blueman to pair and connect to the headset service... (as kbluetooth didn't want to do it)... and added a bluetooth section in .asoundrc | 16:14 |
| Lantizia | BluesKaj, thus I can play music on it via mplayer or aplay | 16:14 |
| Lantizia | but aplay -l (or any listing of alsa devices) and it doesn't show up | 16:14 |
| Lantizia | yeah already followed that guide | 16:14 |
| === Maximilian is now known as CMEpTb | ||
| BluesKaj | Lantizia, ok , I'm not familiar with bluetooth and my headset connects to the mobo for skype use ,...sorry i can't help more | 16:17 |

| naknomik | Is there a way to get Win key behavior in Linux that is similar to what we see in Windows? For example, press 'Win' key to get menu, Press Win+E to get Dolphin, Win+R to run a command | 17:14 |

| crashev | !java | 17:16 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 17:16 |
| Mamarok | naknomik: you can confire that in the system Settings | 17:23 |
| Mamarok | configure* | 17:23 |
| naknomik | Mamarok: how? | 17:23 |
| Mamarok | but only clicking the WIndow mey will do nothing, it is a meta key in Linux | 17:23 |
| Mamarok | you will have to add a key to it | 17:23 |
| Mamarok | like meta+ something | 17:24 |
| naknomik | Mamarok: and that's what I'm confused about, why can't X do things that Windows can. | 17:24 |
| Mamarok | naknomik: because Linux is not Windows, that key is not used the same way, as easy as that :) | 17:24 |
| naknomik | Mamarok: but Linux is infinitely configurable, so shouldn't there be a way to have Linux work the way I want it? | 17:25 |
| Mamarok | well, ask the developers to map the key differently, it is simply not implemented that way, file a wish | 17:26 |
| Mamarok | and seriously I wouldn't want it to be mapped that way either, sinc with an additional meta key one can do much more shortcuts | 17:26 |
