| illunatic | yeah i don't understand why it's so slow at all | 06:12 |
| noaXess | illunatic: ok.. so some upgrades.. i would prefere to make a fresh install.. | 06:12 |

| illunatic | is that common? | 06:15 |
| noaXess | illunatic: normally not.. i think.. | 06:15 |
| illunatic | it would be great if kubuntu used some kind of built in bittorrent protocol for package upgrades. ever single user has the packages already and they could opt-in | 06:16 |
| skramer_ | Wanted to update from KDE SC 4.5.0 to 4.5.1. The update wants to remove libqt4-multimedia, because it depends of older versions of libqtcore4 and libqtgui4 | 07:07 |
| skramer_ | is that something wrong with the dependecies or is libqt4-multimedia no longer needed and thus safe to remove this package? | 07:08 |

| skramer_ | Riddell: libqt4-multimedia 4.7.0~beta2~ubuntu3~lucid1~ppa6 depends on same versions of libqtcore4 & libqtgui4, but upgrading KDE to 4.5.1 will install libqtcore & libqtgui4 4.7.0~ rc1~ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1 | 07:47 |
| skramer_ | Riddell: thus libqt4-multimedia would be removed whilst upgrading. Would that be okay or should I wait for an updated libqt4-multimedia? | 07:48 |

| X-2 | how are you doing? :) | 09:15 |
| maple | mornin ! | 09:15 |
| cato37 | i am doing better. college classes. lots of late night homework. woohoo. in kpackage there are 200 blocked updates. is that normal? | 09:15 |
| X-2 | I don't have that many blocked updates at least | 09:15 |
| X-2 | I never use kpackage tbh, I prefer using terminal :p kpackage is bit weird sometimes.. | 09:17 |

| X-2 | apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade | 09:18 |
| seraphim1 | hi | 09:21 |
| seraphim1 | hello ... where is 4.5.1 | 09:21 |
| cato37 | interesting. after running kpackage, the dist upgrade in apt-get adds 3 more packages, and removes one. :) | 09:21 |
| X-2 | http://www.kubuntu.org/news/packages-available-kde-platform-plasma-and-applications-451 | 09:21 |
| X-2 | seraphim1: Just follow the link I provided :) | 09:23 |
| X-2 | cato37: Yeah a friend of mine also recommended me using apt-get over kpackage :p | 09:25 |
| cato37 | X-2: apt-get seems a bit more intuitive. and the command line is better for the memory than point-click interfacing. | 09:27 |
| X-2 | True | 09:27 |
| cato37 | and apt-get just added almost a gig of progs--mostly kde stuff. | 09:29 |
| seraphim1 | nice... what sources i have to include in /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 09:29 |
| seraphim1 | for 4.5.1 | 09:29 |

| skramer_ | Riddell: Seems somebody already reported a bug on Launchpad (#629349). Btw. I'm also on amd64 same as this guy... | 12:24 |
| ubuntu_ | hola | 12:26 |
| Riddell | skramer_: libqt4-multimedia has been removed by upstream, so the question is why apt thinks it's still needed | 12:31 |
| skramer_ | Riddell: no, it suggests removal which would be fine, then. I just was not sure if it can be safely removed ;-) | 12:32 |
| Riddell | skramer_: the problem seems to be python-qt4-dbg still depends on it | 12:33 |
| lenardk | Can someone help me with installing NVIdia drivers? I want to know, should I remove xserver-xorg-video-nv befeore installing Nvidia drivers? | 12:36 |
| skramer_ | Riddell: I don't seem to have python-qt4-dbg installed, so for me it should be okay to upgrade. Not sure about other people who need python-qt4-dbg, though. | 12:37 |
| lenardk | Anyone? | 12:39 |
| Riddell | lenardk: no don't remove that | 12:41 |
| lenardk | Riddell: I have issues with it. I had to do clean install. I could not make Nvidia driver work... So I am not sure what to do now. | 12:42 |
| lenardk | What about xserver-xorg-video-nouveau? I want to install proprietary drivers. | 12:44 |
| BluesKaj | lenardk, you have to stop X in order to install a new driver, http://pastebin.com/nk0JGive | 12:45 |
| BluesKaj | lenardk, that tutorial is for mosyt newer nvidia cards , within the last 3 yrs or so | 12:46 |
| BluesKaj | and proprietary drivers aren't any better , in some cases worse than the kernel source . lenardk | 12:47 |
| lenardk | BluesKaj: Can I use Additional drivers to that? Or do I really need to what you said. | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | ok lenardk , which nvidia card do you have? | 12:48 |
| BluesKaj | lenardk, lspci | grep VGA , in the terminal | 12:49 |
| lenardk | nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7300 GT], before upgred from Lucid to 10.10 I never had any problems with it. | 12:50 |
| markit | hi, 10.04, I've upgraded kde to 4.5.1, but now after login I have a black screen and the mouse cursor alone :( Any idea? | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | lenardk, ok you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 support , but I would try the tutorial that pastebinned above with the 7300gt , it should work | 12:53 |
| gnomefreak | nvidia is broken on Maverick the fix was commited but not pushed. | 12:54 |
| lenardk | Ok, I'll see what I can do. | 12:55 |
| gnomefreak | the X-swat PPA should help most problems with it | 12:55 |
| lenardk | gnomefreak, so I should wait for an update? | 12:55 |
| gnomefreak | lenardk: yes | 12:55 |
| lenardk | X-swat ppa, shoud I use that? | 12:56 |
| gnomefreak | you need lenardk you can but i cant promise it will help you. you need to wait until nvidia-current version 256.52 | 12:57 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: hey, could you link that tutorial again (just joined) want to see who my systems gona break when i upgrade :) | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | lenardk, aha so you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 | 12:57 |
| gnomefreak | if it is nvidia you should wait | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | James147, upgrading to ? | 12:57 |
| gnomefreak | give me a couple of minutes i will have things you will want | 12:58 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: eventually maverick... but not just yet (still want to know anyproblems that might appear with that card though) | 12:58 |
| gnomefreak | and yes move to #ubuntu+1 | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | James147, that tutorial is for lucid , dunno if it works on maverick | 12:58 |
| James147 | ahh, then nevermind :) working fine atm | 12:58 |
| gnomefreak | James147: join #ubuntu+1 same for lenardk | 12:58 |
| lenardk | gnomefreak: Ok I'll ask for help in ubuntu+1, I never had problems with this. If nvidia does not work with 10.10 there is nothing we can do I guess. Thanks | 12:59 |
| James147 | gnomefreak: I know, was just courious about teh link :) | 12:59 |
| BluesKaj | I tried maverick , couldn't rely on it ...was crashing alot , that was early days tho...a month ago or so | 13:00 |
| gnomefreak | James147: i have 2 links one is in the topic of #ubuntu+1 | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | didn't try it with my server which has the nvidia graphics tho | 13:01 |
| markit | let's say I'm desperate and want to reinstall all kde desktop, what package do I have to remove and reinstall? | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | markit, try the pervious kernel in grub , maybe you'll get a bash prompt at least so you continue the dist-upgrade in kde, it needs at least a couple of them to bring everything in. | 13:05 |
| James147 | markit: generally doing a reinstall of kubuntu-desktop should be enough... if not and your fine with command line I would drop to a vertiual terminal and start removing the kde packages (once the base packages are removed allot of things that depend on them will also be removed) you can then install kubuntu-desktop again to get them back | 13:05 |
| markit | BluesKaj: I can login in console no problem for that | 13:05 |
| James147 | markit: but before that your problem is probally fixable :) | 13:06 |
| markit | James147: I've tried re-adding owner and group to all files in /home/myuser | 13:06 |
| markit | now I try to aptitude reinstall kubuntu-desktop | 13:06 |
| James147 | markit: when loged in can you launch krunner? (alt+f2) | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | markit, then continue with the upgrade , I had to run it at least 3 times to get all the depends work | 13:07 |
| markit | btw, I've no "kubuntu-desktop" package installed | 13:07 |
| James147 | markit: install it | 13:07 |
| markit | mm it brings with it network-manager, I fear will mess up my networking config | 13:08 |
| markit | let's try anyway | 13:08 |
| James147 | markit: what do you have instead of network-manager? | 13:08 |
| markit | BluesKaj: me too when upgraded to 4.5. This pc upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5.1 and proceeded smootly | 13:09 |
| BluesKaj | NM will just show an unmnanaged state . markit | 13:09 |
| markit | James147: manually edited interfaces and resolv.conf | 13:09 |
| James147 | markit: dont think it will interfere with them... if it does just uninstall it again :0 | 13:09 |

| James147 | jtheuer: adding the backports ppa, then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 13:34 |

| James147 | BluesKaj: we managed to get it all between us :D | 13:41 |
| amichair | I get terrible tearing on second display with effects on, and it goes away with effects off, and I read there is such a setting in compiz... how do I do it in kdm? | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | hehe , I hope so :) | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | system settings/desktop effects , amichair ...I have to state the obvious | 13:42 |
| James147 | amichair: there is a "Use VSync" on the opengl options on the advanced tab of the desktop effects config window | 13:42 |
| amichair | I don't see a way to specify which monitor to sync to... | 13:44 |
| James147 | amichair: there isnt one... | 13:44 |
| amichair | too bad :-( | 13:45 |
| amichair | in nvidia-settings and compiz settings there is such an option, and I read it fixes things | 13:45 |
| amichair | for kdm I guess I'll have to turn off effects whenever I want to watch a video | 13:45 |
| James147 | amichair: do you have an nvidia card? | 13:45 |
| amichair | yep | 13:45 |
| James147 | amichair: then why not use nvidia settings? | 13:46 |
| James147 | (assuming your using the nvidia drivers) | 13:46 |
| amichair | James147: it needs to be set both in nvidia settings and compositing engine | 13:46 |
| James147 | :S | 13:46 |
| amichair | I found instructions for compiz, and looking for equivalent in kdm | 13:46 |
| James147 | (and i take it you ahve already set it in nvidia settings then?) | 13:47 |
| amichair | sure | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | oops, enabling desktop effects , effectively crashed my desktop :) | 13:47 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: then I guess I should be thankful it works at all :-) | 13:47 |
| amichair | btw do opengl options affect video playback (e.g. VLC)? | 13:48 |
| James147 | amichair: there is a toggle effects plasmoid if your not already using it :) | 13:48 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, my graphics card is an elcheapo onboard ati x200m ... can't handle the load | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | this pc needs to run cpu at full bore, ondemand is too slow to respond | 13:50 |
| amichair | James147: where do I find the plasmoid? | 13:50 |
| James147 | amichair: "sudo aptitude install plasma-widget-toggle-compositin" | 13:51 |
| * James147 restart x quickly... | 13:51 | |
| * BluesKaj attempts to enable desktop effects without crashing ...here goes | 13:53 | |
| amichair | James147: that ought to make it convenient enough - thanks | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | darn, lost the toolbars and panel | 13:57 |
| James147 | amichair: there is also a dbus command that and toggle the effects, (and a few scripts that allow you to stop/start it online using dbus as well as wrapers for stopping/starting it around programs) | 13:57 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: bah, you dont need them :D | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | can't move anything , no exit/close options | 13:58 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: kwin died? now you need that | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 13:58 |
| James147 | Thourght you ment plasma | 13:58 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: good luck getting it back :) not the easiest thing to do when you cannot control your windows... | 13:59 |

| inawarminister | Hello! ~ | 14:36 |
| inawarminister | I want to ask something; | 14:36 |
| inawarminister | Is it possible to only display one desktop-worth of windows in the task manager? | 14:37 |
| inawarminister | So... If I am using the Desktop 1, only applications there showed up in the Task manager | 14:37 |
| inawarminister | If Desktop 2, the desktop 1's applications are hidden. | 14:38 |
| inawarminister | Is this possible in KDE? | 14:38 |
| James147 | inawarminister: yes... you can do that by right clicking (an empty part) of the task manager widget > Task Manager settings | 14:38 |
| inawarminister | Thanks, james147! Will try it! | 14:39 |
| inawarminister | Am going to* | 14:39 |
| inawarminister | Thank you very much~ | 14:39 |
| wiqin | pls how can i install tar.bz2? im not understand installation instructions | 14:43 |
| inawarminister | Wiqin: Ehm, building from source? | 14:43 |
| inawarminister | Auuh... Open Office is stuck :< | 14:44 |
| James147 | wiqin: tar.bz2 is a compressed archive (some what like zip is in window) | 14:44 |
| inawarminister | How could I kill a process in KDE? | 14:44 |
| inawarminister | I mean, force-kill | 14:44 |
| James147 | inawarminister: "killall <processname> | 14:44 |
| James147 | " | 14:44 |
| inawarminister | Is there are no Windows-style Task Manager? | 14:45 |
| James147 | inawarminister: "Ctrl+Esc" | 14:45 |
| James147 | ^^ I just find it quicker to use killall :) | 14:45 |
| inawarminister | Uoh thank you very much! | 14:45 |
| inawarminister | One more question: Is there any less-intensive Office programs? | 14:47 |
| inawarminister | Other than OO.org? -_- it hangs my -- sucky-- computer :< | 14:47 |
| James147 | inawarminister: not really... you could try koffice (although I found it lagged alittle on a very large document) | 14:47 |
| James147 | inawarminister: otherwise textfiles are very handy and light :) | 14:48 |
| inawarminister | Huhuh, shame ppt is such a large bag of suckness | 14:48 |
| inawarminister | ... James147, what is usually the reason for slowness? | 14:49 |
| inawarminister | Slow HDD, or Slow RAM? | 14:49 |
| James147 | inawarminister: in OO.org... I blame java personally.... | 14:49 |
| inawarminister | (I know that 2.0 GHz P4 ^should^ be adequate enough, no?) | 14:49 |
| James147 | should be :) | 14:49 |
| inawarminister | Java -_- | 14:50 |
| James147 | inawarminister: how big is the document? | 14:50 |
| inawarminister | Only 23.4 MB | 14:50 |
| inawarminister | Wait, MiB | 14:50 |
| inawarminister | But there are many linked pictures and VIDEOS | 14:50 |
| James147 | inawarminister: that might do it... not sure waht oo is doing with all the links :) | 14:51 |
| James147 | inawarminister: give koffice a try, see if its any better | 14:51 |
| inawarminister | Haha, thank you very much | 14:51 |
| inawarminister | Koffice is programmed in Qt, no? | 14:51 |
| James147 | kde ^^ which is built on qt | 14:52 |
| inawarminister | Thank you very much! | 14:52 |
| James147 | inawarminister: or for a really light weight approch you can code it in latex using the beamer class :) (can probude a pdf of the slides... although without animation) | 14:53 |
| inawarminister | Ah, well, thanks. But I'll just try Koffice first | 14:53 |
| James147 | :) | 14:53 |
| inawarminister | Ah, one more question: Is there any plan of 2007 clone? | 14:54 |
| James147 | inawarminister: clone? | 14:54 |
| inawarminister | Err... As in, the ribbon and all that | 14:54 |
| inawarminister | Office 2007 | 14:54 |
| inawarminister | Because I'm really, really productive with it when compared to OO and Koffice -- | 14:55 |
| James147 | inawarminister: not as far as I know in oo, or koffice (although I did see an intresting screen shot of koffice with something similar but havent actually seen it) | 14:55 |
| inawarminister | Eh, James147, what should I do if my external HDD is not automatically mounted -- nor available in device plugged in notification? | 14:56 |
| James147 | +koffice has lots of docks which make it some what better | 14:56 |
| James147 | inawarminister: can you mount it manually? | 14:56 |
| inawarminister | How'so? I'm afraid I'm still very much a n00b. -_- | 14:56 |
| James147 | inawarminister: can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid -c /dev/null" | 14:57 |

| ubuntufreak | oh ok mine is beta 1 will switch to beta 3 and try | 17:35 |

| gobnuts | well, beta 2 (works with twitter oauth) is in that repo, beta 3 seems to be building and will get updated once it's done | 17:44 |

| simulacrum | This channel is for Kubuntu support, for Ubuntu see #ubuntu, if that the one you're using | 18:13 |
| bb__ | simulacrum: this problem is unspecific to *Ubuntu - i can install remotely Kubuntu desktop if you like - just wondering where to find the *Ubuntu grafic-issues-folks for support... | 18:14 |
| simulacrum | from what I know there is no such channel, you can go to UbuntuForums.org and there should be a section | 18:15 |
| simulacrum | bb__: also if you have Ubuntu you should ask in #ubuntu, if you have Kubuntu you should ask in #kubuntu | 18:16 |

| kaddi | Hi :) I need help with firefox. When I open a text file from the downloads-window it is always opened with notepad in wine. How can I change that to open with kate? | 18:46 |
| kaddi | I have already set the application for txt to kate | 18:47 |
| James147 | kaddi: in firefoxes prefences or kdes settings? | 18:49 |
| kaddi | in firefox preferences | 18:49 |
| kaddi | should be set that way in kde as well, lemme check | 18:49 |
| kaddi | James147: first is always kate and I moved notepad to last on all the text-related file associations | 18:51 |
| James147 | kaddi: I take it that they open in kate if clicked in dolphin? (if so then I would think its a problem in firefox) | 18:52 |
| kaddi | yes, actually I think I know it is, James147. KDE and Gnome don't have the same way of defining file association, which breaks firefox and kde related communication with every other update from kde or firefox. I was just hoping someone in here might now a fix | 18:54 |
| kaddi | cause i frequently download text files and it's always a pain to wait till wine and notepad get going | 18:54 |

| James147 | Chicano: you cannot do it in kpackagekit, in a terminal run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 20:03 |
| alacer | does kde 4.5.1 support multiple monitors? | 20:04 |
| Chicano | why is the dist-upgrade necessary? why doesn't an upgrade work? | 20:04 |
| James147 | Chicano: because it allows packages to beinstalled/removed on an upgrade (it is not upgrading your distro version... despite what its called) | 20:06 |
| === raven24_ is now known as raven24 | ||

| James147 | alacercogitatus: what graphics card do you have/driver are you using? | 20:22 |
| alacercogitatus | James147, I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 450, and I am using the proprietary driver. | 20:23 |
| James147 | alacercogitatus: nvidia-settings should beable to setup dual screen then | 20:24 |
| alacercogitatus | But what is weird is that it works in gnome with my xorg.conf as is..... | 20:24 |
| James147 | (run as root: "kdesudo nvidia-settings") | 20:24 |
| alacercogitatus | should use same xorg.conf right? | 20:24 |

| Eeyore-Jr | i upgraded last week my 9.10 installation to 10.04 using the cd. it failed | 22:06 |
| Eeyore-Jr | i tried to use ubuntu with a new install, preserving my /home partition and it fails to log in | 22:06 |
| Eeyore-Jr | booting to a live kubuntu cd, and mounting each partition, i see the /home partition on /dev/sda5 | 22:06 |
| Eeyore-Jr | attempting to cd into that directory and save the information from it, i get an permissions error | 22:07 |
| Eeyore-Jr | after reviewing the directory contents, i see that it's an encrpyted partition (set in 9.10) | 22:07 |
| Eeyore-Jr | can i re-install kubuntu, using the same password as before for my home partition and get access to the partition again to save my data ? | 22:08 |
