[00:23] Hi all, how to slow down my mouse on Kubuntu? I setup in System settings -> Pointer acceleration to 0.1x and run "xset m 1/10 1/10" and still need slower config pls help :o) [00:23] have they slowed down already ? [00:26] yes using sys setting it slows down rapidly and "xset m 2" is faster then "xset m 1" and it looks that "xset m 1/10" is same speed as "xset m 1" [00:28] is there any other setting for mouse speed somewhere in xorg.conf or something? [00:32] i dont know [00:53] might be the wrong place to ask, but no response in the main ubunutu channel [00:53] anyone know if theres a way to setup a keyboard shortcut in gnome to turn on and off compiz like with kde?

[03:33] i use lucid kubuntu 64bit [03:33] Yes it is [03:34] does it need a workaround? with karmic i had no problems. [03:35] wicd works better for me, when there are more wlans near my place. [03:36] or does it need a specific order to uninstall (k)networkmanager and install wicd?

This is odd because it has recognized and mounted it before. [16:01] When I look at logs it does see the USB device, but it is not mounted.

[17:46] !application launcher [17:46] compilerwriter: right click it, select menu editor [17:47] torch in my case the launcher is brought about by right clicking on the desktop. Do I need to put it on a toolbar, edit it, and then remove it from the bar? [17:48] compilerwriter: you're using the plasma netbook shell? [17:49] I'm using plasma and I mapped my right click when on the desktop to be the application launcher. [17:49] compilerwriter: juat run the menu editor from krunner then.

Perhaps if I just restart plasma it will sort itself out. [17:52] e01: reportedly a problem flash has with qt 4.7. [17:53] oh.. may be it becaus i am with kde4.5 from beta repository :( [17:53] torch What I did was uninstall the version of OO that came with Lucid and reinstalled the current from Sun/Oracle since the one that came with lucid was constantly crashing on me. Now my menus in Application launcher are all out of whack. [17:54] compilerwriter: try restarting plasma [17:54] torch ctrl alt back then? [17:55] compilerwriter: from a shell, kquitapp plasma-desktop then wait a little then run plasma-desktop [17:55] compilerwriter: no. that would have killed X11 in former times. it doesn't anymore (per default at least) [17:55] compilerwriter: plasma is not X11 [17:55] sorry old habits die hard. [17:57] so does plasma rest atop X11 I never quite understood the techy stuff behind plasma. I am more of a try it and see what happens when comes to gui things. [17:58] compilerwriter: X11 is responsible for painting pixels on your screen. plasma just draws the background and the panels and widgets for KDE. [17:58] compilerwriter: it's just an ordinary KDE app [17:59] I am beginning to get it. But screw a plasma setting or so and you have a mess. [18:00] thanks for the help torch menus sorted themselves when plasma reloaded. [18:01] So were I to shut down plasma I would be left with an X11 terminal essentially. [18:02] compilerwriter: if you kill plasma you still have krunner (alt-f+2 still works) and all your apps. and kwin to manager all your windows. [18:03] * sheytan is back.

I select the language, and then, i select "install kubuntu" i hear the drive spin a little, but nothing happens [19:20] is there a way to get a debug console? [19:20] i have installed linux before, this is not my first time. [19:21] James147, i am Curious person, just like know whats going on, hehe [19:21] Badegakk: it the average load shouldent be high underidle, but once you start gaming/encoding i would expect it to shoot up quite alot (i would think it whould average 100% during encoding) [19:22] James147, yeah [19:23] James147, Been away from linux way to loong, been on a long windows spell, i have forgoten a lot about linux, hehe [19:26] kinection, by experience i have found out its better to boot up the ubuntu from the cd and then install it [19:26] well, none of the boot options are working [19:27] kinection: give it a couple miniutes, it can be slow at times to boot :S if it dosent load after about 5 mins it might be a cruppt cd [19:27] kinection, can you read the information on the cd? you sure its not corupt [19:27] i'm doing a md5sum check on it right now [19:27] on the iso [19:28] hi, im trying to recover files from wubi install using a live cd.

[19:28] sudo mount -o loop /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /vdisk [19:28] the iso is good [19:28] kinection: even if the iso is fine, the burn might have failed... installation cd are fussy [19:28] yea, i'll reburn and see [19:28] kinection, iso can be good, but your cd can still be corupt [19:29] kinection, i always burn install cd's on a lower bitrate [19:29] kinection, less chance for failure [19:29] kinection: if you have a 1gig or larger usb you can spare i suggest trying to create do it from htat.. i have had alot more luck installing form a usb then cd (usb-creator-kde can create one from an iso in kubuntu... or unetbootin can do it from linux or windows) [19:31] unfortunately, don't have usb with me [19:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/470356/ [19:32] da-bayman: try adding "-t ext4" to the last command *replace ext4 with the actual filesystem [19:32] type ^^ [19:33] james147: and what would the actual filesystem type be?? sorry for my ignorance [19:33] Depends on os [19:34] da-bayman: probally ext4 or 3... (wont matter if you put 4 or 3 if it is ext) [19:34] Badegakk: its a wubi disk image to I would think [k]ubuntu :) [19:36] james147: now i get mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1... [19:37] James147, ok :) , I didnt know that [19:38] da-bayman: try it with "vfat" then "auto" :S dont see it being any other filesystem other then ext or vfat so not sure what to do if that fails [19:40] james147: im pretty sure my wubi is completely broken and ill never get my important files [19:40] James147: no, vfat didnt work [19:40] da-bayman: :( afraid I dont know what else to do then... not sure what could have broken it either [19:41] I'm using kubuntu netbook edition.

When i boat into wubi i go straight to the grub2 command screen. aka "sh :grub>" how can i get my kernel info from there so i can boot [19:48] James147: uname doesnt work from there [19:49] da-bayman: afraid i cannot really help you... I dont know that much about how the wubi system works :( [19:50] da-bayman: nor the grub command line [19:50] James147: can u direct me to someone who does? please [19:50] James147: well, I only have the search and launch page left [19:51] da-bayman: just keep asking on this channel every 10 mins or so (or you could try #ubuntu since its about grub which isent kubuntu spicific) [19:51] James147: ok thanks [19:52] roam: you can configure it and make it use a different activity... not sure of another way to do it (plasma-netbook is still quite new) [19:52] Are shortcuts in KDE Menu Editor working? I can't get any programs to launch with hotkeys. [19:53] James147: so i change that into a different activity an then add another? [19:54] roam: click on the circle thing > configure > activity : change the activity type to one o fthe others [19:54] roam: then you should have the option to add a new page when you click the circle thing [19:55] * James147 remembers hes on kde 4.5 :S cant remember how to do thing/if its possible on kde4.4 :) [19:55] James147: that didn't work, it changed itself back into s&l [19:57] roam: works here, but i know the netbook edition was improved quite abit in kde 4.5 ;S ... you could delete ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-netbookrc to reset it to the default settings (will require you to restart plasma-netbook) [19:58] will test that [19:58] will it keep my other settings? [19:58] glaucous: dosent seem to be working here either, but I sware it worked in the past :S [19:59] roam: what other settings? it will reset plasma-netbook and only plasma-netbook to the default settings... so you lose all your widget info and stuff but that should be it [19:59] James147, found it how to fix it. Go to System Settings -> Input Actions -> Enable KMenuEdit [20:00] will try that then [20:00] glaucous: ahh, yes that sounds like something i might have done [20:00] roam: note you can rename it [20:00] roam: to get the same effect (so you can restore the settings if you wish to) [20:04] James147: that didn't work (removing plasma-netbookrc) [20:05] my secondlife install has sound. but no music. works in windows.. where to ask for help? [20:05] roam: try also removing plasma-netbook-appletsrc [20:07] ok, will try that then [20:11] James147: i removed every plasma-netbook* file [20:11] that worked [20:15] Can someone help me?
