[00:23] Refraxx paste url in this channel [00:23] * James147 dosnt knotice pms often :) [00:24] Ok, pasting on this chat [00:24] hello everyone ;) [00:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484712/plain/ [00:25] Is that what you wanted? [00:25] It's the only thing I can think of that a URL would be..... [00:26] I just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.04.1 and for some reason my bottom panel looks wierd. I uploaded a screenshot at http://yfrog.com/jterrorpanelp . For some reason, as you can see in the screenshot, half of the panel is showing a background and half the panel is not. I want the panel to look "normal". Any help is highly appreciated! [00:27] Refraxx what kubuntu version are you using? And how did you install it? [00:27] drunkncrew: I remember someone having a similar problem... think they fixed it be shrinking the panel abit but I cant fully remember if that worked :) [00:27] drunkncrew: known bug. [00:27] drunkncrew: update to kde 4.5 or use compositing. [00:28] torch: how do I update to kde 4.5? [00:28] drunkncrew: and as James147 (who is always right ;-)) shrinking the panel a bit helps. [00:28] drunkncrew: see the topic [00:28] +said [00:28] ArGGu-I'm using vers. 9.04 [00:29] james147: thanks I shrunk tha panel and voila [00:29] thanks for the quick responses everyone [00:30] What do you mean: How did I install it? [00:31] I put the disk in the tray & my brother walked me through installation [00:31] Or did you mean something else? [00:31] Refraxx could you paste /etc/apt/sources.list into paste.ubuntu.com and paste the url [00:31] what version of KDE is lucid configured with initially? [00:32] drunkncrew: 4.4.2 [00:32] ok [00:32] drunkncrew: get 4.5. it's much better. [00:32] * James147 agrees with Torch [00:32] or at the very least 4.4.5 :) [00:33] james147: thanks. I've googled for a tutorial as to how to update to 4.5, but can't find one. Do you happen to know of a good tutorial, or is there a quick way to update to 4.5? [00:33] drunkncrew: see the channel topic [00:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484721/plain/ [00:33] james147: will do [00:33] I think something went wrong, I think I misunderstood you [00:34] Refraxx: paste the contents of that file... [00:34] That "etc/apt/resources" thing-where do I paste it at? [00:35] in konsole? [00:35] open /etc/apt/sources.list [00:35] in konsole? or a browser window? [00:36] cat /etc/apt/sources.list [00:36] run that in console [00:36] ok [00:36] the copy paste the output into paste.ubuntu.com [00:36] I'm a long time Gnome user, but have only used KDE for approximately 20mins so far and it's great. I extremely appreciate everyone's help in here. just wanted to thank you all. [00:36] drunkncrew I think that kubuntu backports has kde 4.5 [00:37] ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [00:37] ArGGu: I just added the PPA, thanks [00:37] ifok [00:37] *ok [00:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484722/plain/ [00:38] Came up with a bunch of lines [00:39] That stuff makes no sense to me at all. [00:40] Refraxx: it dosnt ahve to... thats why you pasted it, so we can look at it :) [00:40] oh, right. Good point. [00:41] Does it help? [00:42] I just remembered that older kubuntu releases does not have plasma-desktop package [00:42] Ok....? [00:42] ArGGu^^: then that would be why :) ... do they ahve the plasma-desktop exec? [00:42] What's my next step? [00:43] exec sounds familliar. How would I check? [00:43] Refraxx What was your problem? [00:43] ArGGu^^: No desktop/panel but instead he seems to ahve a checkerboard background (or non at all) [00:44] ArGGu^^: on a new user as well so not a config problem [00:44] My home screen is a grey & white checkerboard. I never downloaded a pic looking like that. It just showed up that way one day,been that way ever since [00:44] abt 7 months ago [00:45] Is it some form of maleware,mabye? [00:46] Refraxx: unlikly... [00:46] I go into settings & it wont let me change the screensaver anymore either. [00:46] don't think so [00:47] i think that is default if it can't access an img or osmething [00:47] I put everything back to factory default settings. Still the checkerboard crap. [00:48] Illunatic: Should I try to use a pic in pc to be a screensaver? [00:50] Refraxx open console and run aptitude update and sudo aptitude upgrade [00:50] ^^ "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade" [00:51] ok [00:53] Refraxx by the way It might be good idea to install newer kubuntu, because 9.04 security updates ends in october [00:54] does "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" update KDE as well? After adding the backports PPA? [00:54] not to mention all the bugfixes in later kde version you ge with newer kubuntus [00:54] nm [00:54] drunkncrew: yes (assuming you ran sudo aptitude update or similar) [00:54] I try to update my pc, but it keeps coming up with error messages & tells me it couldn't finish. A problem I will need help with later [00:54] james147: thanks [00:54] one thing at a time. [00:56] Refraxx: I think the broken updates is a larger problem then what we ahve been trying to fix.... since fixing that and updating properly will probally solve your issues [00:57] ok, you saying we need to focus on THAT first,then? [00:57] yes [00:57] can you pastebin the error you get? [00:58] ok.Should I start with something small? Or go ahead & try to upgrade everything all at once? [00:58] Refraxx: upgrade enverything [00:58] yes, I will paste it. [00:58] ok, starting now [01:01] Do I have to log out of this chatroom? I keep getting crash reports. That's new,even for me. [01:03] The details part says: Executable: systemsettings PID: 5384 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault) [01:03] I'll try loging out of the chat first & see if thats any better. [01:04] Refraxx: why would that help systemsettings crashes? [01:05] I dont know.....I'm grasping @ straws here. And it never crashed THAT soon before. [01:05] Its getting to the point where I sit in the chair a certain way & dont breathe for a while when it starts up [01:06] Hoping that if I do that, everything will be fine & running smoothly that day.... [01:11] does kubuntu have a software source center similar to ubuntu, where you can browse different categories, etc? [01:12] Refraxx before the problem started did you do update to kde 4.3? [01:12] I dont remember if I did or not. Is there a way to check? [01:13] Crash info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/484730/plain/ [01:14] This is the first time it has crashed this soon. I cant even see how many/what kind of updates I have to install... [01:15] Refraxx run in konsole systemsettings --version [01:15] it should so the kde4 version [01:15] *show [01:15] It's never crashed like this before-so I am gonna try to do it out of chat & see if that works. [01:15] ok, I'll run that first [01:16] 2 "--"? or just one? [01:16] 2 [01:16] ok [01:18] ok, it says: KDE:4.3.2 Qt: 4.5.2 System Settings: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) [01:21] Does that help ArGGu? [01:22] aptitude show kdebase-runtime [01:22] run that in konsole [01:22] what is the version [01:24] Screw that-I'm sending you the URL to that one. WAY too much to type :-) [01:25] sry Refraxx i don't know much about it :) hope you're on the right track [01:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484733/plain/ [01:26] Me too Illunatic [01:26] i just recall coming across the gray checkerboard thing recently while copying system files from one partition to another [01:27] Refraxx [01:27] Yes? [01:27] aptitude show systemsettings [01:27] ok [01:29] ok, here it is [01:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484735/plain/ [01:31] illunatic: Did you ever fix that problem? [01:31] it's wasn't making the desktop like that. it was what appeared when i was looking at splash or wallpaper img iirc [01:32] Refraxx You have kde 4.3 and kde 4.2 packages and that is bad :S [01:32] i don't know if it's related at all [01:32] Refraxx run ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [01:32] ok [01:32] paste the output [01:34] Its not running anything. [01:34] Correction: It's not "outputting" anything [01:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484737/plain/ [01:35] is there a kde equivalent for audacious? [01:36] sorry i mean audacity [01:36] lubun2 I think that no, but ofcourse you can use audacity in kde [01:37] Refraxx when you run "sudo aptitude upgrade" it gives error? [01:37] I have dual 23" monitors and am trying to set them up on an nvidia graphics card. I open up nvidia-settings via terminal and whne it opens, it says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." So I type out (sudo nvidia-xconfig) in terminal and it says command not found. Is there a different command to accomplish [01:37] this? [01:38] audio editor/recorder in kubuntu? [01:39] ArGGu^^, i would like to have a kde apps if possible [01:39] No, ArGGu. I am konsoleing it now, Will paste. [01:39] Refraxx you have kde 4.3 but those packages are not in jaunty official repos and you have no other repos enabled :S [01:39] Ok, So whats my next step? [01:41] Can I rectify this problem without spending money? [01:47] Refraxx run sudo aptitude upgrade [01:47] I think I found something that might be useful to you ArGGu. Sending URL in a few seconds [01:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484742/plain/ [01:47] Look at the bottom part-past the resolving stuff [01:48] Does that mean anything to you? [01:53] ArGGu? You still online? [01:53] run sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1.1 [01:54] I can't connect to a hidden network (that I know is working). Any suggestions? [01:54] I just finished the sudo ap upgrade. Want the URL? [01:54] yes [01:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484745/plain/ [01:56] You still want me to run the aptitude install thing? [01:56] yes run sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1. [01:56] sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1.. [01:56] ok [01:56] sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1.1 [01:56] las one is correct [01:56] *last [01:56] :-) Got it [01:57] I need to goto sleep soon 4am already :S [01:57] I will do this quick [01:58] Refraxx The main problem is that we need to get all the package to kde 4.2 or kde 4.3 version [01:58] It is not meant to use packages from different version [01:58] It is finished-lemmie put it into a URL. Gonna wanna see this [01:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484746/plain/ [02:00] Do I tell it Yes or No? [02:00] Yes [02:01] let see what version it will install [02:01] Its working...... [02:02] Refraxx after it done paste again [02:02] I will === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [02:04] Ok, It's done. Still with me? [02:04] yes [02:05] Ok, here's the whole thing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/484751/plain/ [02:08] run [02:08] sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1 [02:09] without the .1 at end [02:09] let see if there is that version [02:09] Running. [02:10] odd thing is that there should not be any kde 4.3 packages because you don't have any unoffical repos in use :S [02:12] Why do I have ANYthing in here that isint compatable with the version I have? [02:13] Ok, here we go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/484752/plain/ [02:13] I meant that sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1.1 without .1 at end [02:13] so run sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1 [02:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484754/plain/ [02:16] How do I aquire the missing packets (or whatever they are called)? [02:16] Refraxx run sudo aptitude update [02:17] ok [02:17] those packages should be in the repos :S [02:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484757/plain/ [02:19] I have to take the dog out--gimmie 2 minutes [02:19] brb [02:20] Refraxx when you are back run sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1.1 [02:25] Still here ArGGu?

[02:30] run sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list [02:30] and replace karmic with jaunty [02:31] and then run sudo aptitude update [02:31] and then run sudo aptitude install kdebase-runtime=4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1.1 [02:31] and ofcourse save the file afte replace [02:31] and replace all karmic words [02:32] What the?

[02:38] If I are not at computer when you are [02:38] you can ask help from someone else [02:38] the problem is [02:38] karmic repos in jaunty need to change back to jaunty repos and downgrade kde4 to jaunty version [02:38] so I think someone else will understand from that what need to do [02:39] ok,then. Thanks for all your help & patience [02:40] I have 2 go to the gas station b 4 it closes [02:40] ok I go to sleep now :) [02:40] ok, thanx again [02:40] exit [02:41] sry, wc [02:41] type /quit [02:41] Yeah, thats what I meant 2 do :-) [02:42] quit [03:02] haha i need to restore a /usr/ directory on another partition that i rm by mistake [03:03] !debugfs [03:03] !info debugfs [03:03] Package debugfs does not exist in lucid [03:05] any tips for restoring a rm dir and all it's files?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [07:17] oops...syslog is still showing "unregisterd pardevice" [07:18] well_laid_lawn: thx, but I know that, but cups won't help if the printer isn't being detected by the hardware or kernel [07:18] ofc not [07:18] ... [07:19] actually, I don't think I'm in a new kernel after all, as while I downloaded it with adept, it's still the old one here....with a new one I'd have been faced with nvidia driver issue again for this new card [07:19] try uname -a [07:20] 2.6.24-28-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 25 [07:20] or it might not have updated grub to show the new kernel [07:21] 24? - which kubuntu are you using?
