| jschall | I have an asus eee 1001p with a 1024x600 screen. I'd like to be able to connect it to projectors that will most likely use 1280x1024, and be able to play a presentation at the projector's resolution, while still being able to see what I'm doing by looking at the computer. Is there a way to clone the output, but stretch it to 1024x600 on the netbook's built-in screen? is there another solution? | 03:03 |

| Fleck | hey - i have ugly looking boot splash screen - text moded | 09:17 |
| Fleck | 10.04 | 09:17 |
| zden | fleck: how ugly? | 09:19 |
| Fleck | boot screen is not graphical, text mode | 09:19 |
| zden | paste me "cat /etc/default/grub" | 09:20 |
| Fleck | ok | 09:21 |
| Fleck | i don't have such file | 09:21 |
| moetunes | which kubuntu version Fleck ? | 09:22 |
| Fleck | 10.04 | 09:22 |
| Fleck | ohh sorry | 09:23 |
| Fleck | was looking on wrong konsole ;P | 09:23 |
| Fleck | http://pastebin.com/YQ3EULFg | 09:24 |
| zden | it looks good. | 09:25 |

| zden | proprietary driver? | 09:26 |
| Fleck | yeah | 09:26 |
| Fleck | in KDE all is working fine | 09:26 |
| Fleck | all desktop effects etc | 09:26 |
| moetunes | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html might give a clue | 09:27 |
| moetunes | there's some framebuffer stuff on it | 09:27 |
| zden | it is strange because plymounth should run on small resolution. I have nvidia graphics too | 09:30 |
| zden | have you got plymouth installed? | 09:31 |
| Fleck | let me check | 09:31 |
| Fleck | yeah | 09:32 |
| Fleck | but | 09:32 |
| Fleck | plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text << i have this one too | 09:32 |
| Fleck | ? | 09:32 |
| Fleck | maybe i need to remove this? | 09:32 |
| moetunes | that'll be a fallback sort of thing afaik | 09:33 |
| zden | yeah and install plymouth-theme | 09:33 |
| Fleck | yep, i didn't have plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo :) | 09:34 |
| Fleck | one more thing - how can i set high res konsole resolution? | 09:35 |
| Fleck | brb | 09:37 |
| Fleck | works! :) thank you moetunes, zden ... sadly - i get that boot screen for 1second :D after that - i have login screen allready :P | 09:41 |

| starslights | hello to everyone, i have a problem with a update, freetype6 was to updated and before the end, it crashed and now, still the "dpkg" process running and i can't stop it . what can i do ? ( ia m on lucid 64 ) | 11:17 |
| James147 | starslights: is dpkg actually running or just not unlocked its lock? | 11:18 |
| starslights | hi James147, is locked, i think, because i see that it0s write " waiting disc" | 11:19 |
| starslights | and still like that from many times now.. | 11:19 |
| James147 | starslights: so the process has frozen? | 11:20 |
| starslights | yes | 11:20 |
| starslights | i was able to quit kpackegekit but that's all | 11:21 |
| James147 | starslights: well, you could try killing it... if you think it is not actually doing anything | 11:21 |
| starslights | i have do but it say that it have failed too as superuser and so that it so a error 6 now | 11:22 |
| James147 | starslights: kpackagekit will only tell something else to tell dpkg to do things :) so that it can be closed before the updates/installs have finished | 11:22 |
| starslights | yep, that i understand , thanks :P | 11:23 |
| James147 | starslights: "sudo kill -9 dpkg" should kill it | 11:23 |
| starslights | ok, i will try , thanks | 11:23 |
| James147 | although i would try without the -9 first :) | 11:23 |
| James147 | starslights: you then may need to delete the lock file... i forget where it is :) | 11:25 |
| starslights | well "sudo kill dpkg" don't work, whille it wait a pid, i will try with -9 | 11:25 |
| James147 | starslights: killall ^^ sorry :( | 11:26 |
| starslights | sudo killall dpkg | 11:26 |
| starslights | oups wrong windows | 11:26 |
| James147 | :) | 11:26 |
| starslights | well, look nothing to happends but no errors :( | 11:27 |
| James147 | starslights: did dpkg die? (most commands dont output anything on sucess) | 11:28 |
| starslights | no , i have my processus windows open and have under my eayes the dpkg processus, nothing have changed, i will try with -9 now | 11:29 |
| starslights | damn, it wan't close it :/ | 11:30 |
| James147 | starslights: :S | 11:31 |
| starslights | yep, first time i get a such problem with dpkg :/, thanks for your help | 11:31 |
| James147 | starslights: what the output of "ps aux | grep dpkg" ? | 11:32 |
| starslights | oh but look like the look are away, becaus eit seem that i can open synaptic know | 11:32 |
| starslights | i give you, hang on | 11:32 |
| James147 | starslights: then that would sugggest dpkg stoped :S | 11:33 |
| starslights | root 4301 0.0 1.6 78920 67036 ? Ds 11:37 0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --force-confdef --force-confold --status-fd 44 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/libfreetype6-dev_2.3.11-1ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libfreetype6_2.3.11-1ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb | 11:33 |

| James147 | but that suggest it hasent :S | 11:33 |
| starslights | ;) | 11:33 |
| starslights | ah no, i can't get in synaptic after put my pass... | 11:33 |
| James147 | starslights: that sounds more like it :) ... not sure why killall -9 wouldent work though | 11:34 |
| James147 | starslights: not sure what you can do except reboot :S killing with -9 is ment to be the last ditch attempt at killing something | 11:36 |
| James147 | starslights: well, except force power cycling your computer :D | 11:37 |
| starslights | yeah, i see what you mean , sad, well, i will try to do like that, i have not choice :(, need i run a special command to repear you thing or it will as about this update again ? | 11:40 |
| James147 | starslights: the update was intrupted so I am not sure what 'state' your computer will be in when you boot... you should be able to run "sudo aptitude install -f" to attempt to continue the update (you may need to delete the lock file if it complains that dpkg has one) | 11:42 |
| starslights | Thanks very much James147, very nice from you, i will do :p | 11:45 |

| MIH1406 | I want to upgrade to Kubuntu 10.10 | 12:32 |
| James147 | MIH1406: if you jsut want kde 4.5: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-45-rc-2 for to actually upgrade to 10.10 you can try running "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" | 12:35 |
| MIH1406 | Can I install KDE to 4.5 in Kubunut 10.04? | 12:36 |
| James147 | MIH1406: see the first link | 12:36 |
| MIH1406 | Thank you | 12:36 |
| James147 | ^^ or only link :) | 12:36 |
| MIH1406 | What does blocked updates mean in KPackageKit? | 12:45 |
| Misterio | MIH1406: I think it means that blocked updates won't be installed | 12:46 |
| MIH1406 | I have just added a repo for KDE Beta | 12:47 |
| MIH1406 | Is it related? | 12:47 |
| James147 | MIH1406: I think its because they require something to be removed, or cant install the right version of somehting... most of the time doing "sudo aptitude upgrade && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" will install them, | 12:47 |
| boubbin | what is the default disk-manager for kde? | 12:48 |
| James147 | MIH1406: upgrading a major kde version tends to block in kpackagekit due to it needed to remove some thing i think... works via aptitude or apt-get though | 12:48 |
| boubbin | i mean the package name, i need to install it with package manager, cause i accidentally removed it | 12:48 |
| omkar | hey guys | 12:49 |
| omkar | i have a speaker | 12:49 |
| James147 | boubbin: disk amanger? | 12:49 |
| omkar | which is connected to an acer laptop | 12:49 |
| omkar | I have kubuntu 10.04 but i am not able to hear the voice from the speakers | 12:49 |
| MIH1406 | James147: can I do a downgrade after that? | 12:49 |
| James147 | MIH1406: No | 12:50 |
| MIH1406 | James147: Why? | 12:50 |
| James147 | MIH1406: downgrading is not supported and is not easy to do | 12:50 |
| MIH1406 | James147: What if I remove the new ppa | 12:50 |
| boubbin | James147 yeah the one where i can choose which disk is mounted to which mountpoint | 12:51 |
| James147 | MIH1406: then you wont get anymore updates, the packages will not be down graded... you can try removing kde (and thus most or all of the UI system) remove the ppa and reinstall them.... but its not that easy to do | 12:51 |
| MIH1406 | what is the KDE version used in the link you gave me? | 12:51 |
| boubbin | James147 managing mountpoints mainly, i need | 12:51 |
| MIH1406 | It is not 4.5 | 12:51 |
| MIH1406 | it is 4.4.29 | 12:51 |
| James147 | MIH1406: 4.4.92 is kde 4.5 RC2 | 12:52 |
| MIH1406 | Sure? | 12:52 |
| James147 | MIH1406: is wont be kde 4.5 till kde4.5 is released :) | 12:52 |
| MIH1406 | I am just 1 step to install the upgrade | 12:52 |
| MIH1406 | Bye | 12:53 |
| James147 | boubbin: there isent one that can manage mount points i dont think... the closest thing I can think of is the widget "Device notifier" | 12:53 |
| boubbin | lol | 12:54 |
| boubbin | so i have to do it manually by editing fwtab? | 12:54 |
| boubbin | fstab | 12:54 |
| James147 | omkar: make sure all the volume controls are turned up and not muted in kmix (it should be in your systray click it, thenk click "mixers") | 12:54 |
| James147 | boubbin: if you want to set the mount points yes... there is ntfs-config for ntfs drives but I dont know a gui method for other filesystems | 12:55 |
| omkar | yes both of them are up | 12:55 |
| omkar | i wasn't even able to hear the voice output on headphones which I brought | 12:56 |
| omkar | strange | 12:56 |
| omkar | I didn't check it on windows | 12:56 |
| omkar | earlier my both network cards also weren't detected by kubuntu | 12:56 |
| omkar | i had to compile atheros n then installed the wireless drivers | 12:56 |
| omkar | for broadcom | 12:56 |
| boubbin | James147 haha, nice, kde fucked it up again, the whole desktop enviroment hasgone downhill since they moved from 3.5.* to 4.* .. sad... | 12:57 |
| James147 | omkar: what version of kubuntu? | 12:57 |
| omkar | latest one 10.04 | 12:57 |
| James147 | omkar: yeah, broadcom devices hate linux :( | 12:57 |
| omkar | yes | 12:57 |
| omkar | i was'nt | 12:57 |
| omkar | I wasn't even having the c compiler | 12:57 |
| omkar | installed it from the kubuntu cd which i downloaded over the net | 12:58 |
| James147 | boubbin: why? most people dont need to set mountpoints for removable media and kde handles mounting them just fine | 12:58 |
| omkar | James: can u help me in fixing this Audio Output issue | 12:58 |
| boubbin | what if i want my 5 different 500gb parttions to be mounted to ustom mountpoints? | 12:58 |
| boubbin | i have to go it manually | 12:58 |
| boubbin | kde3 had gui for that | 12:59 |
| James147 | boubbin: I would have done it during the installer :S | 12:59 |
| omkar | when i remove the speaker i am able to hear the sound on laptop inbuilt speakers | 12:59 |
| James147 | omkar: sorry, not very good with audio releated problems :( | 12:59 |
| boubbin | James147 yeah, if the installer can do it, it should be able to do afterwards, do you think its logical? | 12:59 |
| omkar | it isn' t anything related to the motherboard soundcard issue | 13:00 |
| omkar | as its giving me the output on the laptop speakers | 13:00 |
| omkar | but not to the other headphones or external speakers which I want to connect | 13:01 |
| James147 | boubbin: the installer is not part of kde... and requires some knowledge of how to mount drives anyway.. everyone who wants to mount something in a specific place normally know how to edit /etc/fstab and editing fstab isent that hard :p | 13:01 |
| boubbin | yeah, but why to remove something like that? :P | 13:02 |
| boubbin | i dont get it | 13:02 |
| James147 | boubbin: basically there isnt that great a need yet for something like that... although I wouldnt think it would be that hard to create one (boubbin you willing to do that?) and I wouldnt say they ahve 'removed' it just havent replaced it yet | 13:03 |
| boubbin | :P | 13:03 |
| James147 | boubbin: allot of the `missing` features in kde 4 are not due to kde dumbing down things... but simply they just havent been built yet | 13:03 |
| boubbin | yeah, actually im on kde3 trinity, the one with 10.04 and kde3, things a little fucked up here but im really wondering wh other modules are working for kcontrol and others arent | 13:04 |
| Pici | boubbin: Please mind your language in this channel, thanks :) | 13:04 |
| boubbin | disk management was working in 9.10 trinity (kde3 remix) | 13:04 |
| boubbin | Pici ok | 13:05 |
| starslights | James147: well, no way to shutdown too, i have needed to cut off the power of my system, between my external disk unavaible too, But now i have fixed it and all woked again | 13:05 |
| James147 | starslights: :) | 13:07 |
| starslights | thanks again for your help my friend :) | 13:08 |
| otswim | hi, how can i use a kubuntu live 'CD' on a USB stick? | 13:12 |

| otswim | James147: great thanks, i'm trying from windows now | 13:14 |

| vbgunz | anybody here using KDE 4.5 RC2? RC1 had some terrible nvidia regressions that made even testing very uncomfortable. did they address this in RC2? | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | vbgunz , I gave up 4.5 , waaay too unstable on my setup. | 14:50 |
| vbgunz | BluesKaj: I hear that. I tried RC1 and felt the same exact way. which is surprising considering so many bugs fixed since 4.4. | 14:51 |

| otswim | i'm running a kubuntu live usb stick; and i'm trying to mount an external hdd to backup my files but i don't know how, i've tried almost every /dev/sdXY with X from a to c and Y from nothing to 3 | 15:30 |
| otswim | and the hdd is not detected by dolphin | 15:31 |
| Torch | otswim: try blkid or fdisk -l from a shell and see if it's listed there | 15:32 |
| otswim | i don't see it in fdisk and there is no output for blkid | 15:35 |
| as | hellow | 15:38 |
| Torch | otswim: then it doesn't exist as far as linux is concerned. either it's not turned on, not connected properly or linux does not support it. | 15:39 |
| Torch | otswim: with the latter being highly unlikely for a common usb external drive. | 15:39 |
| otswim | Torch: what i didn't mention is that the hdd doesn't work great on windows too as i have to plug/unplug it 10 times for it to work | 15:41 |
| Torch | otswim: then i guess you have your answer already. | 15:41 |
| otswim | is there a way to fix it? | 15:43 |
| Torch | otswim: it's probably some hardware-related issue. | 15:43 |
| === Y0Y0 is now known as yoyo | ||
| James147 | otswim: if you can I would try a different cable or usb port... but if it is the harddrive I would consider not relying on it for backups | 15:51 |
| otswim | James147: someone told me to try formatting | 15:52 |
| Torch | otswim: that won't help | 15:52 |
| James147 | otswim: if its having trouble being detected its not a formatting issue... its falty hardware and thus not reliable | 15:53 |
| otswim | why not? if i plug it, i see messages in 'dmesg' and if i plug it on windows, when it fails, it still tell me an error message "usb problem" or something; so maybe it's not the cable | 15:53 |
| otswim | yes i said it incorrectly: it's being detected, but not mounted | 15:54 |
| Torch | otswim: formatting has nothing to do with usb problems, though. | 15:54 |
| Torch | otswim: it's hardware. either the usb port, the connecting cable or the usb chip on the drive's circuit board. | 15:54 |
| otswim | maybe that's a generic windows error message while the main problem is on the mounting? | 15:54 |
| Torch | (the enclosure, that is) | 15:54 |
| otswim | hm | 15:54 |
| otswim | ok | 15:54 |
| Torch | otswim: neither fdisk -l nor blkid rely on formatting. | 15:55 |
| otswim | ok i see | 15:55 |
| Torch | otswim: both don't show the drive. | 15:55 |
| otswim | i have another problem: i've booted with a kubuntu live usb stick to repair my computer (mandriva); should i run 'fsck /media/disk' if the internal hard drive is mounted there? | 15:56 |
| James147 | otswim: fairly sure you dont run fsck on a mounted drive... | 15:56 |
| Torch | otswim: it's e2fsck and as james said the partition must not be mounted to run it. | 15:57 |
| otswim | James147: right, so i should 'umount' it and then i run it on /dev/sda2 (for instance)? | 15:57 |
| Torch | otswim: you need the device node. blkid will tell you. or mount, while it's mounted. | 15:57 |
| otswim | /dev/sda2 was in front of /media/disk on the output of 'df' so i guess it's this one? | 15:58 |
| Torch | otswim: yes | 15:58 |
| otswim | Inode 18088, i_blocks is 32, should be 8. Fix<y>? | 16:00 |
| otswim | i guess that's a good sign | 16:00 |
| Torch | otswim: it's a sign that e2fsck does its job. | 16:00 |
| otswim | does it take long to run? | 16:01 |
| Torch | otswim: depends on the size of the file system | 16:01 |
| Torch | otswim: it can take a couple of minutes | 16:01 |
| James147 | otswim: and the type ^^ ext4 is alot faster | 16:01 |
| otswim | there a lot of i_blocks errors like this one :( | 16:01 |
| Torch | otswim: you might want to stop it (ctrl+c) and re-run it with the "-y" switch then so you don't have to type y for each question | 16:02 |
| sinthetek | can i use dd to put an iso image on the usb drive directly? | 16:02 |
| sinthetek | ie dd if=kubunt-netbook.iso of=/dev/sdf | 16:02 |
| sinthetek | or is there a link to an alternate method of installing via cli? having trouble googling a method since most i've found seem to refer to a .img | 16:04 |
| James147 | sinthetek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent << if you can I had most luck when using usb-creator-kde (gui baised) | 16:10 |
| Torch | i had to use the GTK version as the kde base one did not work at all for me :-( | 16:10 |
| James147 | Torch: had that problem in previous versions but not 10.04 :S | 16:11 |
| Torch | James147: yeah, that was on 9.10 | 16:11 |
| sinthetek | weak... i don't have time for that atm. maybe i can install it for her later | 16:14 |
| sinthetek | thanks anyway | 16:14 |

| cobra-the-joker | i am really confused ...which is better kubuntu or ubuntu ? | 16:24 |
| James147 | !best | cobra-the-joker | 16:25 |
| ubottu | cobra-the-joker: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:25 |
| James147 | cobra-the-joker: they are essentially the same system... execpt ubuntu comes with the gnome desktop enviroment and kubuntu comes with the kde one... witch is better is which you like better :) | 16:26 |
| cobra-the-joker | they are supported equally ? | 16:26 |
| James147 | cobra-the-joker: note that you can install kde on ubuntu and gnome on kubuntu by installing either of ubuntu-dekstop or kubuntu-desktop | 16:27 |
| cobra-the-joker | aha | 16:27 |
| James147 | cobra-the-joker: the core system is identical so equally supported :) couldent really comment on the desktop interface though | 16:27 |
| James147 | cobra-the-joker: if you are unsire I highly suggest trying them both out (give them both a fair amount of time) and make up your mind which one you want to keep later :) | 16:28 |
| cobra-the-joker | thats a tough one | 16:29 |
| cobra-the-joker | how much this amount of time ? | 16:29 |
| James147 | cobra-the-joker: why so? | 16:29 |
| James147 | cobra-the-joker: depends :) I personally would give both of them a couple days each... its hard to tell how good a system is if you dont spend that much time on it.... but its up to you spend as much time as you like you are free to switch between them as often as you like for as long as you like | 16:30 |
| cobra-the-joker | aha | 16:31 |
| cobra-the-joker | James147 , thanx for the advice | 16:31 |
