[00:45] <wea0> I recently upgraded from karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore.
[00:46] <wea0> I have since upgraded to KDE 4.5 and kernel 2.6.35 but that has done nothing to remedy the situation. What can I do?

[01:27] <wea0> I have since upgraded to KDE 4.5 and kernel 2.6.35 but that has done nothing to remedy the situation. What can I do?
[01:28] <skierpage> 10.04 user here, I'm no longer getting notifications in my Plasma panel on hardware events (like insert USB drive)
[01:29] <skierpage> What was the panel widget or system tray option that showed these?  Or is something else wrong.
[01:30] <wea0> device notifier widget <-
[01:34] <skierpage> wea0, that was it, thanks a lot! (I was looking at System Tray Settings >Hardware Control)  I wish there was a "default Kubuntu panel contents and settings" page, every month I somehow lose it.
[01:35] <apachelogger> skierpage: in 10.10 you will be able to create a default panel
[01:35] <apachelogger> so you could remove your broken one and add a default one and be done with it ;)
[01:36] <apachelogger> however I think not loosing settings would be the ultimate option here :)
[01:38] <wea0> You could try to backup plasma-desktop-appletsrc and restore it if your panel changes randomly. (Although that would also restore all your desktop widgets to the backed up state)
[01:43] <skierpage> Sounds promising.
[01:44] <skierpage> I see KDE 4.5 packages are available for 10.04, http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-45 , any comments?
[01:45] <skierpage> Does regular update not offer these because 10.04 is a long-term release, or because KDE 4.5 on 10.04 has issues?
[01:51] <wea0> During a release cycle package updates via the main repositories contain only bugfixes for the version of the program that was initially included with the release. Newer versions are available only through backports repositorys. This is not specific to KDE.
[01:56] <wea0> There are however some bugs with the KDE4.5 packages, e.g. bug 615865 and bug 615902.
[02:29] <wea0> I recently upgraded from kubuntu karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore.
[02:31] <al_> wea0 maybe you should check what modules have you loaded
[02:32] <al_> probably in the upgrade you lost your video card propietary driver config
[02:33] <wea0> I am running the latest binary driver from nvidia.com. Reinstalled it after the upgrade.
[02:36] <wea0> anyway, here you go: http://pastebin.ca/1928086
[02:40] <al_> mmm, weird indeed
[02:42] <al_> did you checked the Xorg log ?
[02:43] <al_> only one thing could happen: Xorg version upgraded, old config needs reconfiguration
[02:43] <drunkncrew> hello everyone
[02:43] <al_> wea0   | WW  // EE
[02:45] <al_> grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:45] <al_> grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:46] <wea0> al_: Log shows nvidia module being loaded, no errors, one unrelated warning (cyrillic font directory does not exist)
[02:47] <drunkncrew> I am new to KDE, long time Gnome user, but have only used KDE for about a day and am loving it. I have a question regarding Dolphin file manager. I opened Dolphin and went to (Settings-Configure Dolphin) and then went to the services menu and installed a few new services (e.g. convert RPM to DEB). I installed the service and clicked "apply" and then "ok". The problem I'm having is that I'm not seeing this new service in the
[02:47] <drunkncrew>  right click menu when I right click on an RPM file. I have also installed a few other services and am not seeing either of them in the right click menu eigther. Is there something that I didn't do that I should have to see these new services in the right click menus or do services just show up somewhere else? Any help is highly appreciated.
[02:49] <wea0> al_: For what it's worth, glxgears gives 10000/5s with compositing on and 60000/5s with compositing off.
[02:49] <drunkncrew> Also, all the services that I installed, show to be correctly installed when I go back to the install new services dialog
[02:51] <wea0> However, very simple things can cause huge CPU load. Repeatedly max/minimizing a window causes 100% utilization of one CPU core by the Xorg process (even with compositing turned off).
[02:52] <wea0> That doesn't sound normal to me. Does repeated max/minimizing cause hight CPU load for any of you?
[03:00] <wea0> drunkncrew: Services appear in the "Actions" submenu of the context menu.
[03:03] <drunkncrew> wea0: thanks for the reply. I just checked the actions submenu and it doesn't show any of the new services that I installed, even when I right click on the type of file that is related to that specific service that I installed. Is there something else I shold be doing when installing the new services via the configure dolphin menus?
[03:08] <wea0> drunkncrew: Works for me. For example I have installed the image2pdf service from the get new services dialog and it shows up for any image, without me having to configure anything.
[03:11] <wea0> (using lucid kde4.5 btw.)
[03:12] <drunkncrew> wea0: I'm using the same version you are, but it's not working for me :(. Thanks for the help though
[03:15] <wea0> drunkncrew: Services that you installed should show up in ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ if they don't, try downloading the file manually and putting it there.
[03:16] <Marcus_> Hey, I had some questions I'm really new to linux.
[03:16] <drunkncrew> wea0: ya, I just looked in that folder and there is only one file "nsplugins.desktop" and none of the other services that I installed from the configure dolphin window show up there
[03:17] <Marcus_> I'm dualbooting my Kubuntu on my laptop (i'm on my pc atm) and i was wondering is there a way i can put a version of it on a USB, so that i just plug it into any computer i want, and run it like a regular program ( i would be doing this on windows comps)
[03:20] <drunkncrew> Marcus_: go to konsole and install ( usb-creator)  that will let you make a bootable USB with kubuntu's ISO
[03:20] <drunkncrew> Marcus_: or look for it in kpackageit
[03:22] <Marcus_> ok, another question I set my partition to half and half using the Kubuntu installer, it's been resizing it for 20 minutes, It's still at zero Have any Ideas?
[03:24] <wea0> drunkncrew: Download the service desktop file from one of those listings:
[03:24] <wea0> http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/servicemenu/servicemenu.xml
[03:24] <wea0> http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/servicemenu/servicemenu-downloads.xml
[03:24] <wea0> then put it in ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ and restart dolphin
[03:28] <drunkncrew> wea0: are you wanting me to download ( service.desktop) file, or are you wanting me to download an archive? I dont see (service.desktop) on either of those pages
[03:37] <wea0> You search the listings for the service you want to install. There you will find the download link.
[03:38] <wea0> E.g. you want image2pdf, then you will see that the download link is http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/servicemenu/downloads/118537-image2pdf.desktop
[03:38] <drunkncrew> wea0: k, just downloaded a .dektop file and placed it in the directory you told me to and made the file exectuable, but no dice
[03:40] <wea0> You put it in ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ and restarted Dolphin? Worked for me.
[03:41] <drunkncrew> wea0: ok, the manual installation worked this time, Thanks for all yoru help
[03:41] <wea0> hooray ;)
[03:41] <drunkncrew> just wish I could get the other way to work though, but hey, I'm fine with this, thanks again man
[03:48] <wea0> OK, now you need to solve my problem ;)
[03:48] <wea0> I recently upgraded from kubuntu karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore.
[03:48] <drunkncrew> wea0: I just found out where the services were being saved to when I tried to install them via the configure menu in dolphin ( /home/drunkncrew/.kde/share/apps/servicemenu-download/) when I pressed install service, it only downloaded the archive file but did not install them. I'm glad I fingered it out. But couldn't have done it w/o your help.
[03:49] <drunkncrew> wea0: is it just dolphin that crashes your system or is it everything?
[03:50] <wea0> dolphin seems to be the only program that has those 10s hangs. Doesn't crash though
[03:51] <wea0> However, very simple things can cause huge CPU load. Repeatedly max/minimizing a window causes 100% utilization of one CPU core by the Xorg process (even with compositing turned off).

[04:45] <hourglasss> I am trying to install kubuntu for the first time (well run a live session at least) and after a few miniutes the little dots on the loading thing stop moving, after rebooting a couble of times i waited 3hrs, no response... any1 have any ideas?
[04:47] <hourglasss> ... any1 home
[04:59] <otto__> how can i have sound from one application on the left channel and sound from another on the right channel?
[05:13] <rodeo_> Hello Any one?
[05:13] <rodeo_> I had installed kubuntu desktop over ubuntu, but even after restarting I am not able to get the kubuntu
[05:52] <al_> auto eth0 ?   /etc/network/interfaces
[06:58] <Khaotic> yo, i need an ftp server
[07:16] <jussi> !ftpd | Khaotic
[07:16] <Khaotic> jussi you familiar with proftpd?
[07:17] <jussi> Khaotic: no, but If you install open sshserver you get sftp incliuded by default, much more secure...
[07:18] <Khaotic> !FTP
[07:18] <Khaotic> !FTPd
[07:37] <Khaotic> omg how do i set up an ftp server
[07:42] <johnny_> is there any difference installing from the alternate installer disc versus the live cd disc?  how difficult is it to install from the alternate installer?
[07:43] <johnny_> i care not for the graphical installer, but i want the same system setup at the end of the installation as the live cd one.
[07:43] <DarkriftX> Khaotic: install one and run it
[07:43] <DarkriftX> johnny_: id expect both will give same setup
[07:43] <DarkriftX> maybe slightly diff boot
[07:43] <DarkriftX> live cd boots to the live version unless told to install
[07:44] <johnny_> DarkriftX: Hmm okay thanks.
[07:44] <DarkriftX> it installs via gui. the non gui version (which i normally use) just boots to a semi gui installer
[07:44] <DarkriftX> so one installs via an app from the live cd desktop, the toher installs via a bootable gui
[07:44] <johnny_> Yeah I'm aware of that. I'm just curious if there's a difference between the final setup is all.
[07:44] <DarkriftX> although i havent installed via livecd in 4 years so it might have changed
[07:44] <DarkriftX> i wuold really doubt it
[07:44] <johnny_> I plan to use the alternate install cd.
[07:45] <DarkriftX> wouldnt make sense for that to be the case
[07:45] <johnny_> Okay great. Thanks a lot.
[07:45] <DarkriftX> would be a support nightmare :P
[07:45] <johnny_> I would imagine as well. Just wanted to make sure. :)

[09:31] <ohhok> !help
[09:32] <ohhok> I own 1.6 Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to install Ubuntu, Is there any solution ?
[09:34] <ohhok> is there any version of Linux which is compatible with my Intel Core2Duo
[09:34] <ohhok> is there any version of Linux which is compatible with my Intel Core2Duo ?
[09:34] <maco> kubuntu works fine with core 2 duo
[09:34] <maco> i have a laptop with one sitting over there *points 1 metre to the right*
[09:35] <ohhok> maco could you tell me the best compatible version which is available for my PC.. I need the link please
[09:35] <maco> either 32bit or 64bit will both work fine
[09:35] <maco> http://kubuntu.org just click the "get kubuntu" button
[09:35] <ohhok> ok from where i can get the them ?
[09:36] <maco> download the iso, burn it to a cd, and then boot from the cd
[09:36] <ohhok> I have already download the 1 from www.ubuntu.com, But its not fully functioaning
[09:37] <maco> oh?
[09:37] <maco> how is it not functioning?
[09:37] <maco> i doubt its related to the cpu
[09:38] <maco> ohhok: its past my bedtime. i'm dragging apachelogger in here to help you
[09:39] <apachelogger> good morning o/
[09:45] <ohhok> hello does any body know which kind of hard drives youtube is using ?
[09:45] <apachelogger> ohhok: various I would suppose, why do you ask?
[09:45] <ohhok> how they manage too much uploaded data daily ?
[09:45] <ohhok> i am asking just for general knowledge
[09:46] <apachelogger> ohhok: Google has a vast resource of both bandwith and storage, so I doubt it is much of a problem for them ;)
[09:46] <ohhok> yah i am trying but i am not getting the proper anwer from that resource
[09:47] <apachelogger> ohhok: it is a bit off topic here, but there are means to channel this easily ... for example you can have a server only accept upload requests and then redirect those requests to different servers (which is probably how youtube does it)
[09:47] <ohhok> thats why i came here because may b some one having proper answer
[09:47] <apachelogger> so you have like upload.example.com which really just redirects the upload request to storagenode192.example.com
[09:48] <ohhok> i c
[09:48] <apachelogger> the retrival operation would then go the other way around
[09:48] <ohhok> but wht about hard drives ? how much hard drives they using ?
[09:48] <ohhok> or they using only one hard drive ?
[09:48] <apachelogger> you have playback.example.com which redirects your playback request to say cache11.example.com, which is then accessing storagenode192.example.com to get the data
[09:49] <apachelogger> ohhok: multiple hard drives, on multiple servers
[09:49] <ohhok> Are they the same hard drives like a pc holds for home usage.. or they are the specific ones
[09:50] <apachelogger> ohhok: Wikimedia (the organization behind e.g. wikipedia) got nicely documented server setup http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers
[09:50] <ohhok> ok Thank apachelogger, Let me check it out
[09:50] <apachelogger> ohhok: that is difficult to answer without insight ... but they could very well be regular hard drives
[09:51] <apachelogger> more likely they are however slower

[16:19] <TommyMann> I'm having trouble installing flash because I'm 64 bit
[16:19] <TommyMann> how do I get it to install x86 style
[16:27] <hazamonzo__> Hey folks. My kubuntu taskbars or... panels have disappeared.. how might i get them back. A restart should do it but im trying to avoid restarting my computer
[16:27] <RickiiBETA> anyone know much about ubuntu tweak/ changing the default folders?
[16:28] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo__, right click on the desktop , add panel
[16:29] <hazamonzo__> BluesKaj: Im afraid i think something has crashed mate
[16:29] <hazamonzo__> All my applications are here but no desktop widgets or panels
[16:29] <hazamonzo__> I can alt tab between apps but thats about it
[16:30] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo__, are you one of those guys afraid to reboot , cuz you think it damages your pc ?
[16:30] <hazamonzo__> BluesKaj: Oh no. Im one of those guys that has alot of applications loaded because i do alot of development work
[16:30] <hazamonzo__> Restarting is a pain in the butt :)
[16:31] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo__, well doid you comsider that having so many apps loaded may have helped cause the crash :)
[16:32] <hazamonzo__> BluesKaj: Hehehe. Maybe. But i can't avoid that. :)
[16:32] <hazamonzo__> BluesKaj: Anyway... i was looking to see if what the command might be to "restart" the KDE desktop or so
[16:32] <hazamonzo__> Im pretty sure ive had to do it in the past because of a similar problem
[16:33] <TommyMann> anybody know how to get flash working on 64bit os
[16:34] <DarthFrog> hazamonzo__: You can try "plasma-desktop" but I don't know if it'll restart your panels.
[16:34] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo__, all I can suggest is ctrl+alt+f1 , sudo servicekdm stop (stops X) , then sudo service kdm start , then relogin
[16:35] <hazamonzo__> Yes!!!
[16:35] <hazamonzo__>  thats is DarthFrog
[16:35] <DarthFrog> hazamonzo__: Did it work?
[16:35] <hazamonzo__> BluesKaj: Thanks for your help too but it was plasma-desktop i was looking for
[16:35] <hazamonzo__> DarthFrog: Thank you
[16:36] <BluesKaj> good tip DarthFrog , din't think it was that simple :)
[16:37]  * DarthFrog finds simple solutions for I'm a simple fellow. :-)  Modest, too!
[16:37] <hazamonzo__> I like simple solutions :)
[16:37] <hazamonzo__> Thanks :)
[16:38] <DarthFrog> Your welcome.  I take it that restarted your panel?
[16:38] <BluesKaj> I guess ia32-libs is no longer supported ...been searching but I gyess it disappeared with 64 bit flash support
[16:38] <TommyMann> how do I get 64flash then?
[16:38] <hazamonzo__> DarthFrog: Yeah exactly. I have panels on the top and bottom of the screen. Plus some widgets on the desktop
[16:38] <hazamonzo__> They just disappear for no reason while im using kde
[16:39] <hazamonzo__> that command was exactly the one i was looking for
[16:39] <hazamonzo__> TommyMann: See what i would do? Tell people what you have tried already and the problems you have had
[16:39] <hazamonzo__> that way people can help you a little better
[16:40] <TommyMann> all I tried was running both the tar and deb from adobe because youtube said I needed a flash update
[16:40] <RickiiBETA> help for changing default folders?
[16:41] <DarthFrog> RickiiBETA: Have a poke through System Settings and see what you come up with.
[16:41] <glaucous> I have to reset the settings of composition effects, in what subfolder of .kde do the settings exist?
[16:41] <hazamonzo__> TommyMann: I think you might have better luck with the flash that comes packages with kubuntu
[16:41] <TommyMann> my repos are empty
[16:41] <hazamonzo__> i think you might want to try the flash non-free in the package manager for kubuntu
[16:42] <TommyMann> it's weird
[16:42] <akssps011> Where can I find theshared folder between host(win) and guest(kubuntu) on a virtual box
[16:43] <TommyMann> I used kubuntu back in 6 but my comp died and this is my first comp since
[16:43] <TommyMann> and stuff is different
[16:43] <akssps011> I have set up the shared folder, but I didn't find it anywhere in kubuntu
[16:43] <TommyMann> why doesn't the package manager list everything or is that jacked up
[16:44] <BluesKaj> TommyMann, you can try nspluginwrapper with 32 bit flash , some ppl had success with it
[16:44] <DarthFrog> akssps011: Why don't you put something in the vbox Shared Folder, then search for it in the host OS?
[16:45] <RickiiBETA> DarthFrog: i looked and didn't find anything, so i got Ubuntu Tweak, but it isn't working
[16:45] <DarthFrog> RickiiBETA: What exactly are you trying to do?
[16:45] <akssps011> DarthFrog: vbox shared folder is in the host only
[16:46] <akssps011> DarthFrog: I tried searching for the shared folder in guest using find / -name <sharedfolder name> but nothing turned up
[16:46] <BluesKaj> akssps011, try dropbox ..it has a free option
[16:47] <akssps011> dropbox ?
[16:48] <DarthFrog> akssps011: Host OS is Windows?  Then the shared folder will be a SMB share and you will have to browse it.  Or mount it in the Linux vbox.
[16:49] <BluesKaj> it's a web app , but it works well for sharing folders between linux and other OS's , akssps011
[16:49] <DarthFrog> akssps011: In your Kubuntu vbox, open konqueror and browse this URL: smb:/
[16:49] <RickiiBETA> DarthFrog: http://imgur.com/VYKOE.png
[16:50] <TommyMann> how do  I add new programs or packages from repos?
[16:50] <RickiiBETA> I want to change the default folders for downloads, music, documents, pictures, etc that show up under places and in naut
[16:51] <akssps011> DarthFrog: it says, unable to find any workgroups in your localnetwork
[16:51] <DarthFrog> RickiiBETA: Are you running GNOME or KDE?
[16:51] <RickiiBETA> from the ss you can see that i have changed it in ubuntu tweak, but it's still the same in naut
[16:51] <RickiiBETA> idk, noob
[16:51] <akssps011> DarthFrog: "this might be caused by an enabled firewall"
[16:51] <DarthFrog> akssps011: Nope.
[16:52] <DarthFrog> RickiiBETA: Are you running Kubuntu or Ubuntu?
[16:52] <akssps011> DarthFrog: ah, it was the remaining part of the error:)
[16:52] <RickiiBETA> ubuntu
[16:53] <DarthFrog> RickiiBETA: You're in the wrong place, my friend. :-)  This channel is for Kubuntu.  You want to ask in #Ubuntu.
[16:53] <RickiiBETA> oops
[16:53] <RickiiBETA> ty
[16:53] <prower> hello again :> i've been encountering a few weird bugs since i switched over to kde from gnome...one i've just noticed is that if i play a video in vlc the screensaver is suspended (which it should be :>), but after closing the program it remains suspended...you can still lock the screen manually though. Anyone else seen this, or worked around it possibly? ;>
[16:54] <BluesKaj> TommyMann, first of all open settings/software sources, enable all repositories in ubuntu softer and other software sources , except the cdrom
[16:55] <BluesKaj> err system/software sources
[16:56] <BluesKaj> hmm this KB battery is dying
[16:56] <TommyMann> everything looks open under settings in kpackagemanager
[17:01] <BluesKaj> TommyMann, lookin system/software sources, make sure canonical partners and other software sources are enabled
[17:01] <TommyMann> everything is checked
[17:02] <TommyMann> I'm changing from US server to main server
[17:02] <DarthFrog> Will make no difference.
[17:03] <DarthFrog> TommyMann: What happens with this command? "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"
[17:04] <TommyMann> DarthFrog I got the flash issue fixed through adobes resources, I'm just freaked out about the lack of packages in kpackagemanager
[17:05] <TommyMann> is there another package manager I can apt-get
[17:05] <TommyMann> to see if I have any connection
[17:05] <DarthFrog> TommyMann: synaptic
[17:06] <TommyMann> thank you that's what I used to use and couldn't remember the name
[17:07] <TommyMann> apt-get works
[17:08] <BluesKaj> it won't matter , TommyMann , your repositories are still the same, no matter which package manager you use
[17:09] <BluesKaj> or even apt-get or aptitude , all rely on the same repos
[17:10] <TommyMann> synaptic is kosher, the issue is kpackagemanager was listing nothing under packages
[17:10] <TommyMann> synaptic is listing everything properly
[17:11] <BluesKaj> sorry TommyMann , I forgot why kpackagekit is such a terrible app
[17:11]  * BluesKaj keeps synaptic installed for reference
[17:11] <TommyMann> is aptitude anynicer looking than synaptic
[17:12] <TommyMann> what was the package manager on kde 3
[17:12] <BluesKaj> TommyMann, aptitude ia terminal app
[17:12] <TommyMann> lame
[17:12] <TommyMann> what was the visual package manager from kde 3
[17:12] <BluesKaj> sudo aptitude install package
[17:12] <BluesKaj> adept
[17:13] <TommyMann> is that thing still around
[17:13] <ozzy> with epiphany or firefox browsers every time i go to runescape.com anything past front page and browser crashes...what meant be wrong?
[17:13] <BluesKaj> yes i think so , but it's amess IMO
[17:13]  * DarthFrog never liked Adept.
[17:13] <DarthFrog> ozzy: Their HTML.
[17:14] <ozzy> anyway for me to be able to go there?
[17:15] <dan457> different browser?  opera, chromium....
[17:16] <DarthFrog> Konqueror.
[17:16] <ozzy> ok will try those..thank you
[17:17] <DarthFrog> Yeah, Konq works.
[17:18] <BluesKaj> ozzy, it requires the iced tea browser plugin
[17:18] <DarthFrog> But so does Firefox. :-)
[17:20] <ozzy> says i need java
[17:20] <ozzy> maybe thats my problem all around then
[17:21] <DarthFrog> Sounds like it.
[17:21] <dan457> ;-)
[17:21] <Spezi> hi guys, i'm planning to replace the hdd in my laptop with a bigger one. i have a kubuntu and a vista installation on it .. would it be possible to create a complete image of the hdd on an external device, write that image to the new hdd once i get it, then boot the system(s) and adjust the partition sizes w gparted to fit the larger hdd? if possible, is partimage or dd the perferable tool, or sth else?
[17:22] <ozzy> thanks again
[17:22] <ozzy> :)
[17:22] <dan457> dd is slow but safest way to go.
[17:23] <BluesKaj> ozzy, that need java prompt is incorrect..it just doesn't react properly to linux n=based browsers, that's a common incorrect message
[17:23] <DarthFrog> Spezi: You could do it that way with Linux (though that's not the way I'd do it) but, dollars to doughnuts, you'll wind up having to re-install Windows.
[17:23] <BluesKaj> err linux based browsers
[17:25] <dan457> Since he'll still have his original drive, it's not like it's a problem if something goes wrong.  He can try again.
[17:25] <BluesKaj> !ghost | Spezi
[17:25] <BluesKaj> oops wrong ghost
[17:25]  * DarthFrog thinks that wasn't what BluesKaj intended. :-)
[17:26] <Spezi> DarthFrog do you think windows would die due to the process of taking and rewriting the image or sth else?
[17:26] <BluesKaj> DarthFrog, hehe , nmo kidding :)
[17:26] <DarthFrog> Spezi: Personally, I think Windows will take any opportunity it can to cause problems.   And you won't get any support for it here.
[17:27] <akssps011> BluesKaj: dropbox is aboon for me...thanks a lot
[17:27] <akssps011> *a boon
[17:27] <Spezi> of course ... i messed with windows a lot already though .. if at least my ubuntu installation would work afterwards, that would be enough to start with
[17:28] <DarthFrog> Spezi: my advice:  Do a backup of your home directory.  Re-install Kubuntu on your new HD (after installing Windows first if you must).  Then restore your home directory.
[17:29] <BluesKaj> akssps011, it's a simple fix , not as secure as accessing directly from one partition to another, but it works
[17:31] <akssps011> BluesKaj: well worth the effort if I installed virtualbox, andd then kubuntu on that virtualbox and then hell lot of other apps, just to make a metapackage for offline use and then when shared folder didn't work in vbox :)
[17:33] <Spezi> DarthFrog: ty, sounds like the best way to go ... though i'll maybe try the way i described first, just out of curiosity ;)
[17:33] <DarthFrog> Spezi: Have fun. :-)
[17:33] <Spezi> that's what i'm up to, tbh :D
[17:33] <dan457> Spezi: Doesn't hurt to try it as long as you make no changes to your original disk.
[17:34] <Spezi> definitely won't do that until i'm finished :)
[17:35] <BluesKaj> DarthFrog, is there a way to create a /home partiton on an existing install, the alternate install didn't seem to give that option when I partitioned the freespace with ext4 during the install
[17:37] <BluesKaj> I have both on this server , but I'm hoping to change the setup on my old desktop
[17:38] <DarthFrog> BluesKaj: Of course you can.  First, move /home to /home.bak.  Then "mkdir /home".  Then mount /home on your new partition.  Then copy (or better yet, rsync) /home.bak to /home.   To make this permanent, write the appropriate parameters in /etc/fstab.
[17:39] <DarthFrog> This is my fstab line:  /dev/sdc1 /home          ext4 defaults 0 0
[17:40] <James147> DarthFrog: ^^ dose that need to be done from a live cd? or at least while kde is not running due to programs trying to acces files in /home?
[17:40] <DarthFrog> James147: Umm, don't have anything running? :-)  You can do it on the fly.
[17:41] <James147> DarthFrog: I have a sep /home :) just know mount complains when you try to unmount it... so I assumed moving it could cause problems as well
[17:41] <DarthFrog> I'd do it from a TTY session though. (i.e. CTL-ALT-F1).
[17:42] <James147> Yeah, logout and tty should be enough... just wanted to check :)
[17:42] <BluesKaj> ok cool , thanks DarthFrog ..BBL
[17:42] <BluesKaj> I'll login back in here on the desktop pc
[17:43] <DarthFrog> James147: Don't know about that.  Unmounting will be problematical and would need to be forced.   Never tried renaming a mounted partition.
[17:44] <James147> DarthFrog: I ment generally for just moving /home ^^ (mentioned mounting as as I thourght it might be a problem)
[17:45] <DarthFrog> James147: It shouldn't be an issue.  I've done it with /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin on my servers.
[17:45] <DarthFrog>  /bin is tricky. :-)
[17:45] <James147> :)
[17:46] <DarthFrog> But mounting them on individual partitions allows me to mount them ro and chattr +i.
[17:46] <DarthFrog> So that if the server does get cracked, the black hat can't install a rootkit.  I also mount /tmp as nodev, nosuid, noexec.
[17:48] <DarthFrog> Insecure HTML code is *always* a problem.
[18:02] <ade> hello
[18:02] <ade> i was wondering if anyone has experience with this error in kdm startup - x-terminal-emulator: Fatal IO error: client killed
[18:08] <Scherenhaenden> hi everybody... i have a small question...

[18:09] <Scherenhaenden> but is not booting
[18:09] <tommytomtom> I just killed my kontact program.  It refuses to start.  I removed all the addressbooks and that was the beginning of the end.  Any suggestions?
[18:09] <James147> Scherenhaenden: what are you trying to boot? and why is it not booting (where does it get stuck?)
[18:09] <Scherenhaenden> well... when i wanna but my stick... it doesnt boot
[18:10] <Scherenhaenden> im trying to do an boot usb  from opensuse

[18:11] <Scherenhaenden> THANKS
[18:11] <Scherenhaenden> ill search
[18:11] <James147> tommytomtom: try creating anew user... if it works for them then it is mostlikly a config error in ~/
[18:11] <tommytomtom> hmm. sounds like a good idea.  What is the quickest way to create a new user....
[18:12] <James147> tommytomtom: "sudo adduser USERNAME"
[18:12] <tommytomtom> thanks!  ;-)
[18:12] <James147> (replacing USERNAME with teh desired username (without numbers and preferbally all lower case)
[18:15] <tommytomtom> james:  what was the command again to create a new user??
[18:16] <James147> tommytomtom: sudo adduser
[18:16] <James147> (with the username as well)
[18:17] <tommytomtom> got it.  now it is done.  just need to login again. bye
[18:23] <buntunub> hi. i are there any options in the system configu utility to add or change the bootup or shutdown splash screen?
[18:25] <BluesKaj> buntunub, system settings/workspace appearance
[18:29] <James147> that is the login splash ^^ there is no gui for configuring the boot up splash...
[18:37] <BluesKaj> buntunub:  if you're looking for a grub2 splash image > http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-change-grub2-grub-pc-splash-image.html
[18:37] <buntunub> BluesKaj: thanks
[18:40] <BluesKaj> buntunub: hope it works for you, it's a bit of work just for a few secs viewing
[18:42] <James147> buntunub: note also this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html for the grub>kdm splash :)
[18:56] <TommyMann> I just realised I don't have any sound
[18:58] <Peace-> TommyMann: alsamixer in the konsole
[18:58] <Peace-> alsamixer -V all
[18:58] <Peace-> should be better
[18:59] <TommyMann> thank you sir, PCM was off

[19:03] <slow-motion> hi
[19:05] <Enzoplex> Hello everyone. I'm having an issue with GRUB. The error message I receive is "error: the symbol `grub_puts_` not found".
[19:05] <Enzoplex> I am trying to restore GRUB, but when I get to "insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod", I get the same error message.
[19:06] <DarthFrog> Enzoplex: Are you restoring GRUB by "sudo grub-install"?
[19:06] <Peace-> !grub | Enzoplex
[19:07] <Enzoplex> DarthFrog: I can't get that far. I'm at the "grub rescue>" prompt
[19:07] <DarthFrog> Enzoplex: Ah.  Follow the link that Peace had the bot give you on howto restore GRUB.
[19:07] <Enzoplex> Peace-: That would be helful, but I get the same error when trying to load the linux.mod file
[19:08] <Peace-> Enzoplex: use a dvd live or a cd live
[19:09] <DarthFrog> Enzoplex:  In a nutshell, boot from a LiveCD, mount your Linux system, do a bind mount on /dev, /proc & /sys to the linux mount, then chroot to the linux mount.  Run grub-install from the chroot environment.
[19:09] <Enzoplex> What is a "bind mount"?
[19:10] <DarthFrog> mount -bind /dev <linux mount point>/dev
[19:10] <DarthFrog> i.e. bind the LiveCD dev, proc & sys to the mounted linux system.
[19:11] <DarthFrog> so that when you're chroot'ed, it has access to the necessary resources.
[19:11] <Enzoplex> Booting from the LiveCD
[19:12] <Enzoplex> Uh....
[19:12] <Enzoplex> So maybe not
[19:13] <Enzoplex> I think it just "fixed" itself. I rebooted to get the LiveCD going. Turns out I don't have it set to CD first. I then get the GRUB menu. But now, I have the "(initramfs)" prompt.
[19:15] <Enzoplex> I think the latest kernel is an issue on my desktop. I loaded up the previous kernel and all seems well.
[19:16] <Enzoplex> DarthFrog: Per your initial inquiry, should I run "sudo grub-install" and have GRUB re-built?
[19:18] <DarthFrog> Enzoplex: Well, if you're booted into your system, you shouldn't need to.  You can try "sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a" and then "sudo apt-get -f install" and see if that fixes any problems.
[19:18] <Enzoplex> DarthFrog: OK. I will do that now. Thank you.
[19:18] <DarthFrog> "sudo dpkg --configure -a", sorry, not --reconfigure.
[19:19] <Enzoplex> lol. I was just about to ask about that
[19:20] <Enzoplex> Nothing came back, so I'm guessing that everything is fine.
[19:20] <Enzoplex> Thank you DarthFrog
[19:43] <hagabaka> ugh
[19:44] <hagabaka> is it possible to skip compiling other bindings if I just want to build packages for ruby kde bindings?

[21:01] <Makuseru> Hi, im having a problem. I restarted my computer this morning, and when it started back up a popup opened and said "Removed Sound Devices" and listed under it is every sound device. And if i go into Multimedia in system settings everything is grayed out except for "Jack Audio Connection Kit" How can i get all my other devices back so i can have sound again?
[21:04] <chris____> Hi , Is enyone help me to get a fix IP address ? thanks
[21:06] <James147> chris____: Follow this: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 (adjusting the values to your needs)
[21:17] <chris____> thanks , I am using this network manager on Kunbuntu 10.04, should I still play with the /etc/network/interfaces file ?, I would rather use the GUI tool , but my problem is that if I create a new connection with a fix IP address, it works but the new address is not the default one when I reboot (DHCP address again) nay input ?
[21:40] <elias_> hola
[21:41] <elias_> alguien por alli
[21:42] <maco> !es
[21:49] <Makuseru> Hi, im having some sound problems. I restarted and now kubuntu has forgotten about all my sound devices apparently. In multimedia they are all grayed out except for Jack and i have no sound. How can i fix this?
[22:06] <31NABCRL4> is there a keyboard shortcut to display all windows like if you mouse to the upper left corner?
[22:07] <petifrancais> 31NABCRL4 > alt + tab
[22:09] <31NABCRL4> 31NABCRL4?
[22:09] <31NABCRL4> oh, haha
[22:09] <James147> 31NABCRL4: if you mean teh present windows effects then its: Ctrl+F10 (all desktops) Ctrl+F9 (Current desktop) Ctrl+F7 (Window class)
[22:09] <31NABCRL4> that's exactly what i wanted, thanks
[22:10] <James147> you should also beable to change the effect for alt+tab in the desktop effects part of system settings
[22:23] <Makuseru> Hi, all my soundcards are uninstalled for some reason, and i cant seem to get them back. I've tried reinstalling alsa, but that didnt work, and ive tried compiling it myself, but it failed. How can i fix this?
[23:20] <mquint> hey people good evening...
[23:39] <Noob_Saibot_> Hiho
[23:47] <serenity> hi
[23:47] <serenity> is there a ppa for the newest kontact which is completly based on akonadi?
[23:56] <Izinucs> has anyone been able to ssh into their kubuntu box and do remote X? or test with "echo $DISPLAY" and get a result other than a blank line (during the ssh session)??
