jcgshi, does anyone know when ldconfig creates symlinks and when it doesn't, because i just ran it on a private directory, expecting it to create a link libtest.so.1 to libtest.so.1.0.0 and it didn't. is that what it's supposed to do?00:48
jcgsalso if all libraries are supposed to be named lib[name].so.[version] why can't gcc find them when you run gcc -l[name], and how do you tell it so you can find them?00:50
jcgsanyone?00:52
jillsmitti have a question too - i want to use sip softphone in KDE, what i need to install?00:53
jcgsmaybe you should investigate kphone?01:03
jillsmittjcgs: unfortunally kphone is based on Qt301:03
jcgsis that a problem? it looks like it works fine in lucid?01:04
jillsmitti know, but it will be only one qt3-based software01:05
jillsmitti am searching qt4 solution01:06
jillsmittanyway thanks01:06
jcgsthere's also twinkle, but that also depends on lib-qt301:07
jcgswhy does it matter which version of qt it depends on?01:07
jillsmittjcgs: i does not01:10

mcurrancan anyone here help me with kde3/kubuntu04:24
mcurranI keep asking, but noone usually answers and  there's nothing online about this:  I arrange my desktop icons at ~/ and I use a top panel, so everytime my desktop loads on restart my icons are either underneath the top panel or all over, until I move one, and then they still don't go back in the right place [I just need the command to move icon and put it in a bash script]04:26

robertzaccouris there a speed difference between kubuntu and mint 9 kde?05:18
robertzaccouris there a speed difference between kubuntu and mint 9 kde?05:24
mcurranmint9 might be slower due to it's greatness (all extra codecs), but they should be the same, maybe it would be faster since you'll get the proprietary drivers right off the bat.05:26
robertzaccourbut there's really not a difference in the DE versions?05:26

Th3raid0r_How do I set a default soundcard, or blacklist the ones i don't use?08:51
Th3raid0r_sure, Xine works, but I need sound for my browser08:51
amichairTh3raid0r_: try system settings -> multimedia, set the default sound card for each category08:52
Th3raid0r_I have done that08:52
Th3raid0r_I just said that anything Xine or system sounds work correctly08:52
Th3raid0r_but anything like a browser that doesn't use the xine or system backend ports to one of my other sound cards08:53
amichairTh3raid0r_: in that case I don't know... sorry :-)08:54
Th3raid0r_Wow, does anybody feel like answering my question? There are hundreds of people in here08:58
RedT0mt0mhi all :-)09:09
RedT0mt0mI got a problem using utf809:09
RedT0mt0mis there a menu to set encoding in kubuntu ?09:10
RedT0mt0mI tryed the system wide variable in /etc/environment09:11
RedT0mt0mbut kde seems to ignore it09:11
RedT0mt0mas "locale" command didn't answer the same in a terminal and in konsole09:12
pat5starhow can you display wifi network information that shows what mode you're connected with? I've tried several things and just can't find it. I have a wireless 'n' router, in mixed mode, and I want to know what mode my laptop is in right now09:13
jussipat5star: I think iwconfig shows that.09:16
pat5starjussi: sry, got distracted. nope...I've tried many commands, iwconfig doesn't show you that either09:23

Th3raid0r_How do i figure out the sound driver names for my HDA ATI HDMI card or my CA010609:33
dihaehello09:50
dihaeI just upgraded to KDE 4.5 RC2, and started doing some python coding in Kate09:51
dihaebut, everytime I save a file, I get the following alert: "The filter/check plug-in 'python-encoding' could not be found, still continue saving of ..."09:52
dihaeDoes anyone else have this problem? If yes, how can I get rid of it?09:53
Mamarokdihae: sounds like you miss a plugin in kate or didn't activate it10:01
dihaeMamarok: that's what I thought too, though I've been looking in that plugin list, and did'nt see anything there that looks relevant..10:02
Th3raid0r_So has anyone figured out the AMD proprietary drivers and kubuntu?10:03
Mamarokdihae: could be a missing package10:03
MamarokTh3raid0r_: I use the free Radeon driver, works best for me10:03
Mamarokdepends on your card10:03
Th3raid0r_Mamarok:  I used to use that, but it worked VERY poorly with wine10:04
MamarokTh3raid0r_: well, I don't use wine at all, so I can't tell10:04
Th3raid0r_I have a 4650 pro10:04
Mamarokit's what works best on my system, you can try the proprietary one to see if it works better10:04
Th3raid0r_I am trying it right now, KDE absolutely hates it, even with KMS disabled... or so I think... how do I know if I disabled KMS correctly?10:05
Mamarokinstall the fglrx packages and then use the hardware drivers settings to change10:05
Mamarokwhat is KMS?10:05
Th3raid0r_Kernel Modesetting, it allows Ubuntu/kubuntu to boot as fast as it does10:06
Th3raid0r_It creates poor performance in almost every proprietary set up10:06
Mamarokwell, I only tried a few seconds, it was a disaster here, so I switched back to the radeon driver10:06

TazzypillarHello, I need to know why my shutdown has stopped working11:08
Tazzypillarcan anyone help me?11:09
Mamarokdihae: It looks like there used to be a plugin for that, it is now probably integrated, so you should try to remove $HOME/.kde/share/config/katerc11:11
MamarokMisterio: do you have the Spanish locale and Spanish Gimp packages installed? Then click on the Help menu and change the langauge of the application, it should be in SPanish after a restart11:12
MisterioMamarok: a gimp restart or a computer restart?11:12
MamarokGimp restart of course :)11:12
Mamarokyou only have to restart the computer for a kernel change11:13

hishin the system settings12:22
hishat the advance tab12:23
Symphonistright, but is it like in Advanced or something? I  cant see-oh okay12:23
Symphonistokay here I am12:24
Symphonistit's set for local12:24
Symphonistlocal everybody12:24
hishok in the konsole12:25
hishgo to the /sbin12:25
hishchmod 777 halt12:26
Symphonisthere i am12:26
Symphonistdone12:26
Torchhish: halt is a symlink.12:26
hishchmod 777 reboot12:26
hishoh yes you right @Torch12:27
Symphonistdone12:27
Torchhish: that won't change anything. users can now overwrite this file. what should that help?12:27
TorchSymphonist: you should not do that.12:27
Symphonistoh12:27
Symphonistderp12:27
Symphonist:c12:27
hishI was think it a permissons problem12:28
hishi am right or not @Torch12:28
Symphonisti heard it was something about hal, but hal is deprecated ):12:29
Symphonisti have no idea whats going on12:29
Symphonistit's really annoying because KNetworkManager stopped loading automatically at bootup too12:29
hishit happened with me atime before12:29
SymphonistSyndaemon isn't doing it either12:29
hishi fix it by check the shutdown at the system settings12:30
hishfo everybody12:30
Symphonistyeah, but it was already set that way12:30
hishsorry @Symphonist12:30
hishI don't know what is the problem12:31
Torchhish: the permissions of the file /sbin/reboot have nothing to do with this.12:31
Torchhish: it's 755 by default anyway, so a normal user can run it. it just won't do anything without root privileges.12:31
poyntzi've borked my graphic card settings. can someone help me fix it?12:31
poyntzi've installed all the nvidia packages12:32
SymphonistThat's alright, hish, you tried to help ;w;12:32
poyntzi've recreated xorg.conf12:32
poyntzusing the dpkg-reconfigure12:32
TorchSymphonist: hal is a likely culprit here. don let talk of it being supposedly "deprecated" confuse you, that's not the issue.12:32
Symphonistoh, okay12:32
poyntzwhat could be still wrong? basically kdm doesn't load12:32
Symphonistso um, how would I check or fix it? ;w;12:32
Torchpoyntz: pastebin a log of an unsuccessful boot. you should find that in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old12:33
SymphonistTorch; would it help to know that I've been trying to get syndaemon -d to run on autostart?12:35
poyntzTorch: http://pastebin.com/khyTd6ay12:35
TorchSymphonist: you could check if powerdevil is running (iirc, the shutdown/reboot/logout code distinguishes between powerdevil there or not).12:35
SymphonistAlso that KNetworkmanager has stopped booting automatically12:35
Symphonisthow do i do that?12:35
TorchSymphonist: system settings -> advanced -> service manager12:36
TorchSymphonist: in the bottom list there should be an entry "power devil". is it checked?12:36
Torchpoyntz: you're missing the nvidia kernel module12:36
Symphonistyup12:36
Symphonistyes it was12:36
SymphonistStatus Running12:37
jordhanpaulahi12:37
poyntzTorch: how do I install that?12:37
TorchSymphonist: it might be worth a shot to uncheck it and see if that changes anything. probably won't, but why not try it.12:37
jordhanpaulahiii12:37
poyntzTorch: what package is it in?12:37
Torchpoyntz: do you have access to the non-working system right now?12:37
poyntzTorch: just the consoles mate12:38
SymphonistTorch: Yeah it gave me nothing12:38
poyntzTorch: what i mean is not X12:38
Torchpoyntz: please run "dkms status" from the console12:38
poyntzTorch: it tells me they're all installed12:39
Torchpoyntz: can you pastebin that please?12:39
poyntzTorch: http://pastebin.com/jHBw0vXs12:39
Torchpoyntz: you could try re-buildind and re-installing the module12:41
Torchpoyntz: using dkms.12:41
Torchpoyntz: ah, wait. something else.. what does "modprobe nvidia" give you?12:42
Symphonist;c;12:42
TorchSymphonist: can you pastebin the output of "ps auxw | grep hal"?12:42
SymphonistOH! this all started happening around when I ran nvidia-xconfig!12:42
poyntzTorch: nothing12:43
Torchpoyntz: then what does "lsmod | grep nvidia" produce?12:43
poyntzTorch: http://pastebin.com/D9aN3dUC12:44
Symphonisthttp://pastebin.com/1wAcCdFD12:44
SymphonistTorch12:44
Torchpoyntz: hmm. looks like my initial analysis is wrong, then.12:44
TorchSymphonist: that looks alright12:44
poyntzTorch: what have you deduced?12:45
Symphonist;c12:45
Torchpoyntz: i mean, it's not that the module is missing.12:45
Torchpoyntz: it's there and can be inserted into the kernel.12:45
Torchpoyntz: did this setup ever work with your graphics card? is the card very new?12:46
poyntzTorch: I removed the nvidia packages to try and get the latest driver from the nvidia site12:46
Torchpoyntz: oh noes ;-)12:46
poyntzTorch: but i've since reinstalled everything (aka, sudo apt-get install nvidia-*)12:47
poyntzTorch: so even if the new drivers are borked the old should take their place no?12:48
Torchpoyntz: no.12:48
poyntzTorch: unless xorg.conf has the wrong settings12:48
Torchpoyntz: unfortunately it's not that simple.12:48
poyntzand points to a driver that aint there12:48
Symphonistby the way, pontyz12:48
Symphonistthere's a repository for the latest nvidia drivers12:48
Symphonistubuntu-x, specifically12:48
poyntzSymphonist: ahh k. where could i find the ppa?12:49
poyntzTorch: is there anyway to work out what's wrong? should i pastebin xorg.conf?12:49
Symphonisthttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates12:50
Torchpoyntz: xorg.conf does not allow specifying paths to drivers or versions, so that should not be the issue.12:50
poyntzTorch: any other things I could try?12:50
poyntzSymphonist: thanks mate. but i'm in a console. i can't do anything with the link other than transcribe it to paper maybe12:50
Torchpoyntz: problem is, i'm using dkms for years now and have not messed with the drivers from nvidia.com ever since. i'm a little out of practice ;-)12:51
Symphonistah right12:51
poyntzSymphonist: thanks tho :)12:51
Symphonistwell once you've sorted this out, come back and i'll give it to you again12:51
SymphonistI might be under a different name though12:51
poyntzTorch: that's cool. i was just sick of kubuntu selecting outdated drivers12:51
poyntzeven if i installed the latest12:52
poyntzi swear i still got an old driver12:52
Torchpoyntz: however they do work fine.12:52
SymphonistSo um12:52
Torchpoyntz: also, once you start using the ones from nvidia.com, you're responsible for updating them and rebuilding them alone. that's not fun.12:52
poyntzTorch: i think it's a simple config setting, because when i restart X almost tries to load but fails12:52
poyntz*restart, X almost tries to load12:53
Torchpoyntz: that's what X always does when startup fails, doesn't mean anything.12:53
poyntzah k12:53
Torchpoyntz: and it does say it cannot find the kernel module, after all.12:53
poyntzwould the output of sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart help?12:53
SymphonistOh poyntz!12:53
Symphonistyou mean like, you get the "Ubuntu is booting into low graphics mode" thing?12:53
poyntznothing at all12:54
poyntzlike X is borked12:54
poyntzall i've got is consoles12:54
Symphonisthuh ;o12:54
poyntzjust doesn't load up12:54
poyntzflicks me straight onto a console12:54
poyntzas in bash/terminal12:54
poyntzwhatever you want to call it12:54
Symphonisthave you tried sudo service kdm start?12:54
SymphonistThat usually gets me into graphics when I run it12:55
TorchSymphonist: yes12:55
TorchSymphonist: as long as X is working12:55
TorchSymphonist: kdm needs X12:55
Symphonistyeah, i see :c12:55
poyntzyeh didn't work :/12:55
poyntzbut i get ya point12:55
poyntzthe issue should be solvable tho12:56
Torchpoyntz: sure.12:56
poyntzwhere fiddling with a graphic card issue12:56
poyntz*we're12:56
poyntzso i shouldn't need to clean install lucid again12:57
Torchpoyntz: this is defintely fixable12:57
poyntzand it's probs something really simple that we've overlooked12:57
Torchpoyntz: i've never come across a linux system that was so badly hosed it needed re-install.12:57
Torchpoyntz: my guess is there's some leftovers from the nvidia.com-driver install.12:57
poyntzyaa. often i fix most problems but just updates or installing random packages12:58
Torchpoyntz: but it's hard to diagnose remotely.12:58
poyntzi take too many risks with this stuff when i really don't know i'm doing.12:58
poyntzit's not a new issue12:59
poyntzi always screw up stuff like this12:59
poyntzi know the general area, then remove and reinstall stuff and hope for the best12:59
Symphonistum, hang on13:00
Symphonistdid you say you installed nvidia-*?13:00
poyntzyep13:00
poyntzbut13:00
SymphonistWouldn't that install /all/ the nvidia drivers, though13:00
poyntzum13:00
SymphonistRunning the gamut from 96 to current?13:00
poyntzit installs everything that starts with nvidia-13:00
poyntzwhich i dunno13:00
eagles0513875_hey guys how can i uninstall a package with dpkg that i used gdebi installer to install13:00
poyntzmaybe there are other packages that weren't installed13:00
Torcheagles0513875_: dpkg -e <packagename>13:01
poyntzbut you'd think they'd be installed as dependencies13:01
Symphonistyeah um, you might wanna try purging that  and installing only nvidia-current13:01
poyntzpurging what?13:01
poyntzsudo autoremove --purge nvidia-* ?13:01
poyntzi mean13:01
eagles0513875_an old version of skype13:01
poyntzapt-get autoremove13:02
Symphonistnvidia-*. When installing the nvidia stuff I heard that nvidia-current, nvidia-current modaliases and nvidia-common were all you needed13:02
eagles0513875_ty torch13:02
SymphonistNvidia-current is supposed to be, the driver itself13:02
poyntzahh k13:02
poyntzso the latest driver?13:02
eagles0513875_Torch: does that remove it from the system13:02
Symphonistso if you installed /all the drivers/, well that might be why13:02
Symphonistit should be. If it isn't, just use the repo I told you about13:02
Torcheagles0513875_: yes.13:02
eagles0513875_im having nvidia-current issues as well Symphonist in regards to kernel modules not installing13:02
SymphonistI used it and it works great13:02
eagles0513875_Torch: that didnt work13:02
eagles0513875_its showing that its still installed13:03
poyntzSymphonist: only problem is i can't follow that link directly13:03
poyntzSymphonist: i'll see what i can do in elink13:03
poyntz*elinks13:03
SymphonistWell, if you install the normal driver it should work again13:03
Torcheagles0513875_: what did you do, exactly? and what was the output, exactly?13:03
eagles0513875_i ran sudo dpkg -e package name did nothing13:03
poyntzSymphonist: actually13:04
poyntzwhere can i get the keys?13:04
poyntzi'm guessing it'll all be on that page13:04
Symphonistthe repository key?13:04
Symphonistyou're on lucid, aren't you?13:04
Torcheagles0513875_: when it does not give any output it just worked13:05
eagles0513875_ok13:05
Symphonistall you /should/ need to do is run add apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swap/xupdates13:05
Torchapt-add-repository13:07
Symphonister, add-apt-repository13:07
Symphonistyeah that13:07
Symphonistbut um anyway13:07

TorchSymphonist: not really, no.13:08
eagles0513875_Torch: skype is still installed cuz i can still run it13:08
poyntzSymphonist: http://pastebin.com/dS8spTyZ13:08
Torcheagles0513875_: then you removed the wrong package, i would say.13:08
poyntzSymphonist: i got an error13:08

AlexZIonhi everyone, i saw on the Kubuntu.org website that kde 4.5 RC is available, so I'dl like to ask , when the official version will be released ?15:23
James147AlexZIon: a few days after http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.5_Release_Schedule15:25
=== rob is now known as Darthfrog
AlexZIonthanks James147, I was looking for this information , but I didn't found it ....15:26
VeovisMuaddibIs there a way in Konversation to only show channel tabs, and hide the server tabs?15:26
VeovisMuaddibI've been spoiled by Colloquy I'm afraid :P15:27
AlexZIonJames147 ,do you know if the version available is already stable enough,because I'd like to try it , but I can't risk an unstable system .. :)15:28
TorchVeovisMuaddib: i don't think so, but if the tab bar gets too crowded, try having the tabs on the left as a tree.15:29
James147AlexZIon: its never recomended to upgrade to alpha beta or RC is you require a stable system... having said that I had not had any mojor problems with 4.5 RC1 or RC2 (although I only got that about an hour ago)15:29
VeovisMuaddibTorch: I guess that's an acceptable alternative, thanks15:29
TorchVeovisMuaddib: there's also #konversation15:30
AlexZIonok James147, so probably I should give it a try on my experimental machine..., thanks ...15:31
VeovisMuaddibTorch: Thanks, I didn't even think of that...  If I had, I probably would have tried #konversation on freenode15:31

DarthfrogWhy not just set your router to N only?16:46

genfool_couple of noob questions. I keep hearing about the "software store"   all I can find is kpackage, so installed synaptic.  am I missing something?18:14
James147genfool_: as far as I know the "software store" is a new idea being brought in to maveric (hopefully)18:15

Andrew9is firewall enabled by default in kubuntu?18:15
genfool_James147,  thanks18:15
James147Andrew9: not normally by default18:15
James147!ufw | Andrew918:15
ubottuAndrew9: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.18:15
James147genfool_: I bleave the idea will be to intergrate it into kpackagekit18:16
Andrew9James147: ok thanks18:16
genfool_next question, I have a nvidia that uses the 96.xx drivers  I see a few available in synaptic, I am just not familiar with debian, not sure what I need to install18:19
genfool_I have nvidia-96-modaliases installed  what is that?18:21
James147genfool_: easiest way to install the nvidia drivers is to use "jockey-kde"  (or "hardware drivers" in the menu) and isntall it via that18:22
James147genfool_: when you just need to select the driver and click "Activate" (and restart your X server)18:23
genfool_cool,  hardware drivers is working now18:24

stuqhey all - is there some method for getting widgets to show up *only* on my widget dashboard and not on the desktop per se?19:12
James147stuq: you can set up a seprate activity for the dashboard which will allow you to place different widegets on it19:13
stuqah, really?  cool.  I'm finding the whole desktop activities thing kind of confusing.  But thanks for info.19:14
James147stuq: activities are essentially a place where you can place widgets (and backgrounds)... like desktops are for windows, (in previous versions this was handels by the desktops) seperating it out means that you can have the same avtivity on all desktops, only one or some of them... as well as the dashboard19:15
James147stuq: as to where to enable it I cant quite reemember :) and its moved abit in the past couple of versions of kde19:16
James147stuq: on kde 4.5 its System settings > Workapce: "Dashboard>>Show an independent widget set"19:17
