Also my "start button" pops up the menu in the top left corner of th escreen rather than above the button. Should I perhaps delete all plasma related config files in ~/.kde/share/apps/ and have KDE recreate ?

[03:16] You could live on the border of Canada and the US [03:16] That would fool them [03:19] hi, can anyone help me configure phonon in kubuntu? i cannot do it whatever i try, i always end up losing sound [03:20] Soul, I can't say I've ever used Phonon, or know what it is for that matter [03:20] But I'll do my best to look into the problem :D [03:20] the default configuration after installing works [03:21] but only partially - when I start more than one audio appliation, i lose all sound [03:21] sometimes miro breaks the sound, sometimes amarok [03:21] it's totally random. i even tried pulseaudio, same issue [03:21] Hmm, strange [03:21] I'm reading the wiki on Phonon right now [03:21] can't say if I'll be any help or not [03:21] I've only been using Kubuntu for about a month probably [03:22] Actually, I'm about to change my HD over to Ubuntu [03:22] and give it a try [03:22] well, if your sound works properly, we can start from there :) [03:22] xD [03:22] I very rarely use sound on my computer for some strange reason [03:22] Maybe cause I have an iPod stero set [03:22] stereo set* [03:22] with a wireless, powered subwoofer [03:22] That satiates my audio needs :P [03:23] i watch a lot of youtube, watch a lot of series, and it's really a problem when I get a message on my messenger and that tiny sound breaks the whole sound system [03:24] There is some possibility that your audio device has a rather crappy driver for Linux [03:24] My computer's WiFi card has a rather sketchy driver from Kubuntu [03:24] and it cancrap out sometimes [03:24] it works perfectly under gnome [03:24] and my wireless N adapter has no drivers at all [03:24] so, i don't know [03:24] I'd think there is no difference between the desktop environments [03:25] I believe they have the same core functionality [03:25] well yes, except kde uses phonon, and gnome uses pulseaudio by default [03:25] and it seems it's a pain to make them switch [03:25] This thread may provide some useful information [03:25] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gaming-games-multimedia-entertainment/142121-solved-no-sound-kubuntu.html [03:25] Though you might have already read it [03:27] well, this guy basically switched his sound card with another :D [03:35] Yeah [03:35] I wouldn't be suprise if the issue was with your sound card's driver [03:35] :S [03:35] And alot of proprietary hardware doesn't provide Linux drivers [03:37] Ubuntu is 699.4 mb [03:37] and my CD is 700 MB [03:37] this will be a tight fit [03:45] My cable moden only connects if fully ready b4 I boot my PC(any OS).

[13:58] James147: 20-30 mins [13:58] please tell me [13:58] amichair: yeah, thats way too long :) [13:58] well, it came out of it once, the other times I didn't wait [13:58] dfhfdhfdh: for problems with windows see ##windows [13:59] amichair: you can try booting to recovery mode... that will at least show you what its doing [13:59] (hold shift during boot to bring up the grub menu) [14:00] no... I want not to go in this channel... [14:00] James147: it's an upgraded system, so grub legacy - would that be shift or escape? [14:00] it is inpossible.... firefoxz of windows can not find but firefox of linux find [14:00] amichair: ecs them I think [14:01] esc ^^ [14:01] dfhfdhfdh: which site? [14:01] plines.ru [14:01] rork but if you have only linux you do not see it [14:02] James147: what's the difference between recovery and regular mode other than debug info? [14:03] amichair: allot of things arnt loaded in recovery mode so that it can boot if soemthing non critical is stopping it booting [14:03] amichair: ... [14:03] amichair: ^^ thinking aobut that it might not show you whats wrong ;) but at least will let you in the system quickly if it dosent [14:04] dfhfdhfdh: that site works fine on windows/ie (there's no firefox on that computer :S) [14:04] ok, I tried it, at the menu chose 'resume', and now I'm at a tty and there's no gui, and at least as far as fits on the screen (any way to scroll up?) everything is OK [14:04] dfhfdhfdh,if you just installed kubuntu , then do sudo update-grub in the terminal [14:04] rork may be my windows die.... [14:05] BluesKaj . [14:05] dfhfdhfdh: do any other websites work then? [14:05] amichair: for an actual boot you might want to lookinto configuring the system to show a text boot rather then graphical (not sure how to do that exactly sorry, but I think plymouth handel the boot splash screen) [14:05] I restarted 3 times and linux show but windows do not [14:05] yes [14:05] ))) other sites work [14:05] oops sry dfhfdhfdh , I misread [14:06] but windows work slowly slowly.... I think I should reinstall windows [14:07] BluesKaj ? try under windows and say me [14:07] amichair: (although I have a feeling that if you uninstall plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo it will default to the text boot screen ;) there might be a way to temporly change it though but I do not know how) [14:09] BluesKaj restart you system and start with windows .... I am waiting for you [14:09] and check it [14:09] no, i'm on my server , no windows partition here [14:09] dfhfdhfdh: this is not a windows support channel... if you having problems with that see ##windows [14:10] !ru | dfhfdhfdh [14:10] dfhfdhfdh: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [14:10] James147: when I ctrl-alt-f7, I see a tty (graphicy-style) with a bunch of udevd warnings from etc/udev/rules.d/45-libnjb5.rules, any idea what this is about? [14:11] amichair: not sure [14:11] amichair: although if your in recover mode ther is no kdm there because kdm hasent been started yet [14:11] ah [14:11] amichair: (sudo start kdm will start it) [14:12] ah [14:12] it works! [14:12] amichair: did it boot fine though? [14:12] looks like it [14:12] now I'll try rebooting again in normal mode, see if it sticks [14:12] amichair: I would try to disable the plymouth graphical theme then and reboot into the normal mode [14:13] amichair: ^^ that way if it hangs you should see where [14:13] disclaimer: I'm after a HDD clone/upgrade, fwiw [14:14] nope, looks stuck like before. 5 blue dots on the splash screen [14:15] amichair: boot in recovery and uninstall "plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo" that should remove the fancy splash screena nd default to the text one so you can see what it gets stuck on [14:15] (its probally possibly to disable it rather then uninstall but I do not know how, you can reintsll it after to restore it again) [14:16] I'll try (maybe quiet or nosplash or something in the boot command?) [14:17] amichair: that will probally also work [14:17] amichair: well, i would try without quite (we want ti to be noisy :D) [14:17] yep, I erased both 'splash' and 'quiet' from the boot command... we learned something today :-) [14:18] :D [14:18] and it just did the whole boot ok. I'll give it another restart... maybe it works every other time [14:22] Hi, I have KDE 4.5, and somehow the system tray got moved to the left - I can't seem to move it to the right, is this a known bug or am I not doing it right? :) [14:23] weedar: to move widgets you need to open the panel settings or add widgets window [14:23] then you can drag them around [14:24] weedar, add a taskbar to the middle [14:24] James147: I've done that, and then I can click on the system tray and its name is displayed above it. After clicking it follows my mouse pointer, but if I click again when I have the mouse pointer on the far right of my panel it instantly moves back to the left [14:25] BluesKaj: ah, brilliant! That also answered my next question, thanks! :) [14:25] weedar, you have to open the panel toolbox , cashew icon [14:25] weedar: have you tried removing the panel and creating a new panel? [14:26] weedar: drag it further untill there is an indication of where it will drop... [14:27] hmm, now mine seems to be stuck as well :D [14:28] weedar: mine got stuck on the left hand side of the screena for a min :) draging a widget to the left of it seems to let me move it again [14:29] Thanks guys, but BluesKaj was right - the reason I couldn't move it was because my taskbar was missing [14:29] I had some friends over yesterday, I think one of them deleted my taskbar by mistake [14:29] James147: reinstalled plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo and now it booted properly twice in a row :-) [14:29] then that means I found a different bug :D [14:30] amichair: :D [14:30] I guess it doesn't like being cloned onto another disk for some reason [14:30] James147: thanks for your help! (as always :-) ) [14:31] can anyone confirm this: in kde 4.5 when I drag a widget to the far left it gets stuck there (unable to drag it to a new location) draging a widget to the left of the stuck widget frees it [14:37] James147, , try moving the slider to the center panel position , after opening the panel toolbox [14:38] HELLO [14:38] adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm trough witch programm I can install it? [14:39] BluesKaj: dosnt help ^^ its not a major problem, just wanted to see if anyone could confirm it before i send a bug report [14:40] Hi, I have Ubuntu netbook installed, but would like to use kubuntu-netbook - do i just install plasma-netbook? [14:40] BluesKaj: seems like the left most widget wont let me reposition it (i can drag ti but it snaps back to its positions no matter where i put it, no indication of a dropspot changing either) [14:40] dfhfdhfdh: RPM (Redhat Package Manager) archives are not intended for Ubuntu or other Debian based systems. [14:40] DarthFrog I use kubuntu [14:40] DarthFrog so ? [14:41] Bauldrick: I would install "kubuntu-netbook" [14:41] DarthFrog so it is inpossible? [14:41] dfhfdhfdh: Well, you could try to convert it to a DEB archive using "alien". [14:41] Not impossible. === onlooker is now known as ixnari [14:41] But you could cause yourself some problems. [14:42] DarthFrog opk I download DEB-archive better ))) [14:42] dfhfdhfdh: Yes, much better. [14:42] James147: cheers, and if all's good - how would I go about removing all unwanted/needed stuff (gnome in this case) [14:43] dfhfdhfdh: The command to install a DEB archive is: "sudo dpkg -i ". [14:43] !purekde | Bauldrick [14:43] Dont know about the netbook version though [14:43] Bauldrick: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [14:43] thanks [14:43] Think I might have to see what Kubuntu 10.10 looks like on a netbook as I don't like the look of unity [14:45] Does anyone know how to get the reboot menu show up in the restar computer dialogue? I.e.: So I can just click, for example "boot into Windows" and be done with it? [14:45] dfhfdhfdh: BTW, the difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu is pretty much limited to the desktop environment. Other than that, they are the same. [14:46] DarthFrog )) [14:47] ixnari: I don't know that that capability is available but it would be a nice thing to have. Why not make it a feature request? [14:48] DarthFrog should I tell anywhere that I have ubuntu? Without more? [14:48] ok [14:50] ixnari: DarthFrog: I remember previous verions you could press and hold the reboot button in the shutdown dialog and get a list of operating systems to boot to, although bit never worked in the past... havent tested it with the latest versions === dfhfdhfdh is now known as FrogFrog [14:50] .. [14:50] I see. Thanks DarthFrog and James147 [14:51] I know such functionality is already available in OpenSuSE and Parus, but Kubuntu is the one I use, so I thought maybe I was missing something [14:51] James147: i never knew that. Thanks. [14:52] DarthFrog: took me ages to figure out it was press and hold... but the little arrows told me that there was something more there :D [14:52] ixnari, reboot menu ? grub ? [14:52] * DarthFrog goes to look for little arrows. [14:52] bah, there is the option to turn off/on the shutdown dialog... i completly lost it === amichairo is now known as amichair [14:54] ixnari: you might want to change the "Boot mangager" option to grub in the shutdown tab of the login manager [14:54] BluesKaj: Yeah, I'm sure it's connected to grub some way or another [14:55] ixnari, grub should show the windows partition [14:55] James147: Will check, thanks [14:55] ixnari, maybe I'm missing the point here [14:55] BluesKaj: I think what he wants is to select "windows" from kdes shutdown dialog to tell grub to boot into windows next [14:55] Yeah, exactly [14:55] ok [14:56] BluesKaj: so that you dont ahve to wait and use the grtub menus when they appear [14:56] James147: I wonder if that was a capability in Grub 1 that isn't (yet?) in Grub 2? [14:57] Okay, done. Let's see if this works [14:57] DarthFrog: that might explain why the little arrow disapeard on the reboot dialog [14:57] James147, ixnari , I haven't run any other linux OSs with a windows install , din't know it was an option on them [14:57] hi all [14:57] DarthFrog: note that with the shutdown dialog you also have the arror, for sleep and hybernate === ixnari_ is now known as ixnari [15:02] Well, no dice. I guess I'll write a feature request later on. Thanks anyway, guys! [15:04] James147: I noticed that. [15:29] how to install driver nvidia on 10.04?

[15:40] Merci pour l'info Darthfrog === robin is now known as Guest87206 [15:43] I am using 10.04 amd64 from dvd install, and I for the life of me can not find how to change the desktop theme [15:43] nvm, found it === root is now known as Guest61399 [16:32] well_laid_lawn: bash: /home/chris/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory [16:32] well_laid_lawn: that's what $PATH returns [16:33] poyntz: "echo $PATH" [16:34] James147: The error message returned the path. [16:34] poyntz: What are you trying to do? [16:35] * James147 assumed he was trying to get the contents of PATH and just typed "$PATH" >> should be "echo $PATH" [16:37] James147: ;-) He got his $PATH either way. [16:37] :D [16:38] Hey guys, I need to open a port to test /dcc get (because I have trouble with), so I want to use iptables but I dont know how to open a simple port and then close it. [16:39] !iptables [16:39] 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. [16:40] V0r34u5: Is the port currently firewalled? [16:41] DarthFrog, I have not set any exeption in iptables [16:41] V0r34u5: All ports are open, unless they are firewalled. [16:41] Whether there is anything listening on any particular port is another matter. [16:44] DarthFrog, I think i need to set an exeption for irssi, because I can send files from /dcc send, but I cant get them when someone send me something [16:46] V0r34u5: Well, you can issue the command: "sudo iptables -F" That will flush all the iptables rules and you can test if that's your problem. [16:46] V0r34u5: But don't leave yourself open for long. :-) [16:47] V0r34u5: Oh yeah, it just occurred to me - the firewall might be on your router. Do you have the proper port being forwarded from your router? [16:48] DrathFrog, good question, I dont know lol [16:48] V0r34u5: Also, before flushing your iptable rules, try "sudo iptables -L" to list the rules currently in force. [16:49] James147 DarthFrog : /home/chris/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [16:49] James147 DarthFrog : I'm trying to get Alt+F2 to work [16:49] Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) [16:49] target prot opt source destination [16:49] poyntz: that looks like your PATH varible :) [16:49] Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) [16:49] target prot opt source destination [16:49] Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) [16:49] V0r34u5: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:49] target prot opt source destination [16:50] James147 DarthFrog : I'm trying to get Alt+F2 to work [16:50] poyntz: So what's the issue? [16:50] poyntz: krunner probally crashed, try rerunning it [16:50] DarthFrog, thats all [16:50] V0r34u5: You don't currently have a firewall on your system. Methinks you need to forward the port from your router to your system. [16:51] HI [16:52] hola [16:52] alguien de Chile [16:52] DarthFrog, do you know a good tuto for iptables ? [16:53] V0r34u5: I used to. :-) Many moons ago. [16:53] DarthFrog James147 : nope. it never works [16:53] the box comes up [16:54] poyntz: can you run "krunner" in a terminal? [16:54] if i enter any program name in, then tap enter it fails [16:54] poyntz: so krunner is loading :) [16:54] i tried running it in konsole [16:54] same problem [16:54] it runs [16:54] but it wont launch apps [16:54] poyntz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:55] and there was no dumb in konsole [16:55] poyntz: check the plugins [16:55] *dump [16:55] poyntz: What did you try running in konsole? [16:55]
