[03:01] yes sir [03:02] Found that few times a well but I've been running from a Thumb drive for a while so I thought it was just a sideeffect of running out of space [03:02] i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [03:02] shouldn't be a space issue. i have over 100GB on that partition unused [03:03] one of the last things i did was install kepas [03:03] illunatic: more likely plasmarc in ~/.kde/share/config [03:03] illunatic: try resetting plasma (delete or rename ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc and plasma-desktoprc) [03:03] alright :) [03:04] ^^ sorry, plasma-desktop-appletsrc :) [03:07] My sessions won't fully save.

[03:09] my desktop session [03:09] Same parts everytime? [03:09] when i shutdown/logout. i want it to save the running apps.

[03:11] Quassel, Songbird, Kopete, Skype tahts about it [03:11] no Firefox, no Thunderbird, Netbeans [03:11] should I just dump my question out? [03:12] Daskreech: use at your own risk [03:12] but it should be usable [03:12] !ask | Tejyasn [03:12] Tejyasn: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:12] oh... thanks.. these help channels always confuse me with their different rules.. [03:13] Tejyasn: just about all of them have a don't ask to ask guideline. [03:13] Long as you aren't being rude you can ask a question [03:14] I am trying to get JRE to work on my box. I'm using KDE 10.04 (semi-obviously) and trying to run it in firefox, latest update. Followed all the steps on the site, and no errors were reported in the terminal, but Java doesn't seem to run at all. [03:14] JontheEchidna: OK just seen a few blog posts telling people to add it so just wondering if I should drop them a line on the wisdom of that [03:15] jjman: Don't know about the rest but FF used to work when I used it [03:15] well... the packages in there are generally either of alpha products or alpha packaging [03:15] add with care [03:15] James147: that seems like a good start. i now have a blank desktop with a dark blue-green background [03:16] Daskreech: I know FF should work at least. Because i have on 3 laptops and they all autosave my session fine. This is desktop (most recent install), i did copy over ~/ from other machines to get same setup (which only partly worked) [03:16] Tejyasn: what site? and which jre? :) [03:17] jman: tried doing a manually saved session and then tried loading it? [03:17] illunatic: hmm.. would have thourght that would have fixed it... could you try creating a new user and see if it works for them [03:18] using the latest out from the main Java site... jre1.6.0_21 [03:18] maybe i should try a reboot instead of just restarting kdm? [03:18] heh [03:19] illunatic: how do you restart kdm? [03:19] sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [03:19] sudo service kdm restart [03:19] or that^ [03:19] followed the instructions to the letter, other than having the java folder be in my ~/Downloads area, and not /usr/lib can't seem to install it there.. [03:20] Tejyasn: not even with sudo? [03:20] I sudo -s at the start.. [03:20] so I'm running as root.. and the install works fine, no error messages.. [03:20] ok [03:20] Daskreech: Yes i already said that. Only thing thats partly working IS a manual session save.. [03:21] the only thing circumspect is when I try to do ln [03:21] jjman: Well when you do the manual load check the logs then compare them for the automatic. [03:21] ln -s ~/Downloads/jre1.6.0_21/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so returns with "file exists" [03:22] I'm guessing there is a second part to that command [03:22] Daskreech: ah. what logs should i be checking for that /var/log/messages [03:22] Tejyasn: I would enable the partner repos in kpackagekit and install "sun-java6-jre" [03:23] do what now? I'm not THAT linux-savy.. [03:23] James147: you know how to create a new user from command line? [03:23] illunatic: sudo adduser guest [03:23] jman: ~/.xsession* I would guess [03:23] ah ok [03:25] Daskreech: thanks i check that out [03:25] James147: good call. it loads great for guest. so how do i get it to work for my primary user? [03:26] hrm... just saw something when I googled "kpackagekit partner repos", it seems that java was the main issue.. [03:27] illunatic: removing the right config file :) my guess is that it is somewhere in .kde ... i would start with the files starting with plasma in ~/.kde/share/config/ ... (to test it you should be able to hit alt+F2 to get up krunner then typing in it "killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop" to restart plasma-desktop :)) [03:28] I'll wait a bit.. because the more I look into this on my own, the more I get cross-eyed. [03:28] illunatic: copy the guest plasma*rc to your account [03:28] illunatic: or the plasma filders in ~/.kde/share/apps [03:29] Daskreech: deleting/renaming them should have the same effect right? seen as they are being created if they dont exist fine (as per the new user) [03:29] James147: yep but i'm lazy today [03:30] !java [03:30] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [03:32] !partner | Tejyasn [03:32] Tejyasn: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [03:33] I assume that I need to replace a few words in there, like naming (lsb_release-sc) and partner, or is it a cut-paste? [03:34] Tejyasn: cut and paste... $(lsb_release -sc) will be replaced by the code name of your version by bash :) [03:35] oh... tres nifty. [03:35] (it will basically execute lsb__release -sc (which returns the code name of your version) and places in it the command (hence the $() ) [03:36] ah... [03:36] I miss my TI... code was easy on that *laughs* [03:37] * James147 finds code on bash easy :D [03:37] (to a given degree of easy) [03:40] true.. the more I learn on bash, the more it makes sense... it's just deciphering/learning new things that messes with my learning curve.. and apparently, I have already done that, as when I ran kpac, I found it, in bash I ran "java -version" and got a result, _18... so I assume I still have to link to firefox? [03:43] Tejyasn: do you ahve "sun-java6-plugin" as well? [03:43] ... will look.. [03:43] (aptitude show sun-java6-plugin | grep State) [03:44] copy-paste? [03:44] with out the ( ) [03:44] unable to locate [03:45] Tejyasn: have you enabled the partner repos yet? [03:45] wait... does directory matter.. [03:45] and yes, I did. [03:45] Tejyasn: "sudo aptitude update" then try again :) [03:46] even better, "not installed" [03:46] (these commands arnt doing anything to the working directory so it dosnt matter where they are run from) [03:46] Tejyasn: then install it :) "sudo aptitude install ..." [03:46] ... being the package [03:47] aptitude, not apt-get? [03:47] Tejyasn: you can use either [03:47] i type aptitude out of habbit now :) [03:47] what's the difference? [03:48] Tejyasn: not a great deal for installing things anymore [03:48] but there used to be? [03:48] Tejyasn: aptitude use to handel removing of packkage dependency better [03:48] ah... [03:50] I just saw "Removing wine 1.2" should I be worried? [03:50] Tejyasn: do you use wine? [03:50] a bit.. mostly for a game or three... [03:50] like DX or Diablo.. [03:51] might not matter... check after to see if you still ahve it :) [03:52] and if not, re-install? [03:52] yeah [03:52] ok.. not worrying then. [03:53] wine is an easy one to reinstall :) if somehting removes kdebase then you should be worried :) [03:53] and state = installed! [03:53] now for the firefox trick... [03:53] Tejyasn: restart your browsers and check [03:53] on it! [03:54] this is the one thing I love most of Linux.. working like this is all but impossible under modern windows.. I miss 98.. [03:55] Tejyasn: :D gotta love terminal [03:55] it's friendlier than DOS too.. so.. *feels the love* [03:56] Tejyasn: also... TAB, and if not... TABTAB [03:56] ??? [03:56] Tejyasn: hit it and see :) [03:56] James147: right.. I never use it usually.. forgot.. [03:57] HA-HEY! [03:57] **hugs James147 warmly** my saviour! [03:59] James147: thanks for the help... you just let me access my online classes! === dan____ is now known as Dan_L [03:59] :D [03:59] does anybody know how to install kexi? [04:00] alright.. I'll let you smart people get to more important issues.. thanks again, and take care. No offense when I say this... hope I never have to see you guys here for a while [04:00] is that part of koffice? [04:00] Dan_L: ^^ [04:00] James147: Yet it is. Allegedly it's better than OO Base. [04:01] Dan_L: Then I would think "sudo aptitude install koffice" would do it :) [04:01] James147: I shall try it. [04:02] although I can see kword but not kexi is the repos :S ... might be hidden in a different package name thjough [04:04] wth [04:04] ^^ [04:05] when i cp /home/guest/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc /home/user/.kde/share/config/ it is jsut a blank file [04:05] does kde 4.x allow for multiple X sessions? I just read that it didn't but am not sure if that applied to 4.3.x.. [04:05] pretty sure that file is the issue tho since it is blank for that user [04:06] i even deleted it can copied but it's blank still [04:06] so weird [04:06] er deleted and copied it over again i mean [04:06] illunatic: but dose it work? [04:07] Is there some flaw with kubuntu that prevents samba print from requesting authorization? It works on my ubuntu Lucid laptop [04:08] James147: no. does not work for the main user [04:08] kweather plasmoid is missing some icons. I've tried a few different icon themes but, alas... my otherwise beautiful Lucid desktop is marred by the default missing icon icon. Any ideas? [04:08] illunatic: have you deleted/renamed all the plasma* files in the config folder? [04:08] i need to copy paste it over or something, but kate & guest don't have permissions [04:08] benbloom: samba has been a nightmare on my 64 box.. I find I have to restart smbd after booting and even then have issues with windows boxes.. [04:08] illunatic: you shouldnt need to copy anything [04:09] James147: with () works as well [04:09] illunatic: if the config files are missing kde should recreate them with the defaults [04:09] oh just delete them all? [04:09] ok i'll try [04:10] Daskreech: ^^ [04:10] I'm looking for a successful ssh -X session.. anyone have that working? [04:11] Izinucs, I just don't understand why it works fine with ubuntu but not kubuntu [04:11] benbloom: I don't either.. I also have issues with cups starting on boot.. :( [04:13] hm [04:13] yeah i deleted them all [04:13] illunatic: then restart plasma-desktop [04:14] wait remove all the /apps/ files as well? [04:14] illunatic: no.. [04:14] i only removed all the config files [04:14] and restarted witht he same blank screen and mouse arrow [04:15] illunatic: ^^ you should only remove the files taht started with plasma :S [04:15] illunatic: but still didnt work? [04:15] i removed all files starting with plasma in the /config/ but no luck [04:16] illunatic: do you have any important settings in .kde? (keep in mind the nepomuk database is there [04:17] well i just spent like a week getting everything working on it and don't want to lose it [04:18] illunatic: try renaming it then (you should beable to rename it back to restore the settings (well, i would copy it back and keep one as a backup for now)) === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK === root is now known as Guest92019 [04:19] illunatic: really not sure what config file are affecting it atm as removing the plasma ones should have worked :S [04:19] yeah [04:19] gonna try copying the app files over... if it will let me [04:20] illunatic: afraid I cannot help anymore... I really need ot go to bed.

IE 8 and Firefox in VirtualBox both show the same results. whoo. so this is not exactly a problem tied to kubuntu. I feel better but damn, don't nobody say anything to them? they got to get rid of that [04:58] vbgunz_: I tried the link with the same "nothing" result.. then I deleted everything after /techdrive/ and got a login prompt.. looks like you have to register to view.

[05:30] hmmm [05:31] gtkrc [05:37] illunatic: efficency means nothing to me if I give up learning oppurtunities [05:51] definitely more efficient in the long run to know what you're doing :) === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [06:05] good morning [06:05] are there really no pathces for the blocked packages that prevent upgrading to kde 4.5?

[14:48] yeah, I had a nvidia 7600gt in it but I installed it in the media server which is a much faster and newer pc [15:05] anyone know how to install geant4 on kubuntu? [15:06] guys I need help urgently, I am running Kubuntu, when I run "apt-get update" and this was the result: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." [15:06] after trying " dpkg --configure -a" I got this: [15:06] iceroot: Setting up flashplugin-installer (10.1.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.1) ...

[15:06] http://www.thetacticalnuke.com/2008/12/easy-install-of-geant4-on-ubuntu-704-and-804-and-810/ <-------- i don't know if this will help xsacha [15:07] collabra: not exactly.. i have it installed on older ubuntus.. but i need a newer ubuntu for another software piece (some python apps) [15:07] but when i try compiling from source on new ubuntu i run in to some issues with it not building stuff correctly [15:08] quite a dilemma.. i havent found a distro that supports both at the same time [15:08] try auto-apt [15:08] it will load any module the compile needs to run [15:09] on the fly [15:09] samehsabry, it's installing the flash plugin which is a std app for browsers. Did somebody advise you to enable the partner and other sources repositories in the package manager? [15:09] the problem is that i need to compile these things because they arent in ubuntu [15:09] and they seem to like different environments (different compiler,etc) [15:09] so one will work in older distros and one only works in newer distros [15:10] BluesKaj: I don't remember, it is a shared machine. But I need to get rid of it right away to update and get other important packages [15:10] BluesKaj: or even use apt-get in general cause it always gets stuck [15:10] what you do,... is of course, read the man,... rund auto-apt in a terminal,... and start your compile,... it will bring in any needed libraries and or packages,... xsacha [15:10] ok so it's stuck ? [15:10] samehsabry? [15:11] xsacha,... it's worth a try. [15:11] ok.. [15:12] use the same terminal you run auto-apt in to compile your software,... xsacha [15:12] ok samehsabry , copy and paste this command into the terminal , sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [15:14] collabra: i run it in the background? [15:14] Hmm, there's a new kernel out for Kubuntu. [15:15] xsacha: no,...when you run auto-apt,... it will release the prompt to compile,... auto-apt will run in the background [15:15] ok [15:15] be sure to read the man page [15:15] not sure how it could help but i'll try it [15:15] DarthFrog, did you just update ? [15:16] i have all the packages installed.. will it identify correct versions too? [15:16] BluesKaj: apt-get -P packagename helped :) [15:16] it could help by pulling in any packages the compile needs to run,.. xsacha [15:16] BluesKaj: thanks for trying though [15:16] well the compile builds perfectly.. [15:16] samehsabry, you needed tpo close the terminal tthat was stuck of course [15:17] oh,... arn't you having trouble with dependencies...? xsacha [15:17] no.. [15:17] BluesKaj: i needed to remove the isntaller of flash [15:17] sht,... sorry. for the lack of help then,... i misunderstood. [15:17] problem is my environment.. like compiler and so on.. don't work with this program [15:17] i think it expects an older version of g++ [15:18] so when it compiles, the programs dont work [15:18] but on older ubuntus they do.. [15:18] is there no earlier compiler available in the repos [15:18] samehsabry, thats strange , haven't seen that hang prob with flash before [15:18] well im not sure if it's the compiler or some other compiler environment tool [15:18] something is messing up the code [15:18] BluesKaj: niether did i [15:19] samehsabry, you might try flashplugin-nonfree instead [15:20] the flashplugin-installer is new in lucid [15:20] xsacha: I'm confused,... you said it compiles fine,.. but when you run the program,... what happens?
