[01:24] one sec.... i'll see if i can help. [01:26] sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client-gnome <----- this is the graphical version,.... it should work in kubuntu [01:28] Shinka: you there? [01:29] collabra: yes, sorry. But if I understand correctly, this will load lot's of things in the background (related to GNOME), just to run ubunutuone ? [01:29] it will load the necessary modules to run UbuntuOne,... there are no alternatives.... [01:30] collabra: I was wondering if I could find an alternative to Ubuntu one, something that would work well with KDE. [01:30] as far as i know there are no alternatives.... but, the above -will- only load the modules necessary to run ubuntu one. [01:32] it will not load alot of gnome extras,... i wouldn't worry about any of the gnome modules,... they are secure and safe. [01:32] I just heard of SpiderOak as an alternative, I'll have to take a look at it. [01:32] collabra: I'm more worried about performance, to be honest :P [01:33] collabra: Anyway, thanks for the help, I'll take a look at it (and spideroak) [01:33] there won't be any noticable difference in performance,.... It's just a program,... if it isn't loaded,... there's no performance degredation [01:34] can i ask,... is spideroak part of the ubuntu or kubuntu repositories? [01:34] Shinka [01:35] collabra: No [01:35] collabra, I think it's intergrated to OpenSuse, on the other hand. But it should be easy to install in Kubuntu if I want to. [01:36] hmm,.... i'd beware of any lesser known or unsupported third party software. === ubuntu__ is now known as Dan_L [01:37] News: windows 7 bites. Not news: I need help. [01:37] hmm...? [01:37] Trying to install kubuntu on a new lappy dual boot w/ win7 installed. [01:37] usually, there's a "largest continuous free space" option in the installer [01:37] this seems to be gone with 10p4 [01:38] I already shrunk space from win7, so there's a big chunk of space available [01:38] you mean 10.04? [01:38] right. [01:38] do you have an ethernet connection? [01:39] uhhh? I can if I need to. why? [01:39] well,... one sec,.. lemmy get the link. [01:39] i'm wified in live user mode now [01:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD <---- try this,... it's a minimal cd,... about 20 mb. It will allow you to do a network install,... as well as offering all supported desktops, including ubuntu, kubuntu, xbuntu... and such,... and when you are all finished with the install,... it's updated and current. [01:42] but if you need partitioning help,... i can do that too... [01:43] Dan_L: is the free space you are speaking of formatted? [01:43] no. It's just the space I shrunk from win7. Do I need to format it now? [01:44] (I just assumed----because with 8 on it was just "largest section of free space", and click "go go go go" and poof you now have kde and you can have zen" [01:45] Dan_L:i would also think that the installer should see the free space. if you select manual partitioning, does it still see unable to see the free space? [01:45] seem* [01:45] have you tried to manually partition the drive? [01:46] jmichaelx, it recognizes the 'free' space, but refers to it as unusable. I tried to use it, and the installer chokes on it. [01:46] Dan_L: even if you select the option to format it? [01:46] lemme peek [01:46] yeah,... youhave to format it before it becomes usable. [01:47] sorry,... jmichaelx: i'll let you handle this. [01:48] collabra: no problem, i'm def not proprietary about this sort of thing :-D [01:49] oh,.. no,.. don't mind me,.. my track record with helping people isn't thatgreat anyway.... :) [01:49] It doesn't seem to let me do anything with it. [01:49] I select the unusable partition [01:49] and all of the options grey out [01:49] mine hasn't always been perfect either... but i learn more by trying to help than by any other way, i think [01:49] i hear ya. [01:50] so how would I go about partitioning that free space [01:50] Dan_L: that does really seem strange. you should be able to select that partition, select something like 'create new partition', then select what fs to format it to [01:51] i would suggest going into windows and partitioning the unusable space as fat32 or even ntfs then run the kubuntu installer. [01:51] sounds like there may be some leading bits within the unusable space that is making the drive 'seem' unusable [01:52] Dan_L: i would also recommend downloading and burning either a Gparted Livr CD, or a Parted Magic CD... boot into one of those, and you should have all kinds of options [01:52] Live* [01:52] error message: "no root file system detected". "Please correct this from the partitioning menu" [01:52] if you can get a valid partition,... even a windows partition,... you can then set ubuntu up on it,... you'll just have to format it. [01:52] Dan_L: yeah, somehow you are missing the partitioning menu [01:54] can I format it from the live disk? [01:54] or can I swap to windows [01:54] format the space there? [01:54] (i'm stuck on slow intertubez at the moment) [01:54] Dan_L: either way, although i highly recommend one or the other of the two HD partitioning distros i mentioned [01:55] you should be able to format it from ubuntu,... maybe, you just arn't familiar with manually partitioning [01:55] it can be tricky if you haven't done it. [01:55] !partitioning [01:55] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [01:57] Dan_L: it looks like the gparted live CD image is about 121.4MB in size === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [01:57] Dan_L: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/0.6.2-2/gparted-live-0.6.2-2.iso/download just right click, and choose 'save link as', etc etc [01:58] !partitionmanager [01:58] PartitionManager is a !KDE !GUI partitioning program. Use !KPackageKit, !Adept or !Synaptic to install or type « sudo apt-get install partitionmanager » in a !terminal [01:59] Dan_L: that would be ok, but you would need to have kubuntu already installed on the machine [02:01] hmm. aiight. I'll reboot and download the gparted image [02:01] i think if you can get any active partition on the free space ,... you would then be able to partition it for kubuntu [02:01] i'll be back [02:01] I hope [02:01] Dan_L: also, partitionmanager should be on the kubuntu live CD [02:02] too late... althoug that may be the program the installer was using, that was not working for him [02:02] a second too late,... [02:03] i've never come across a basic hardrive 'laptop' that it couldn't partition [02:03] i think win7 made it unusable,... tricking the ubuntu installer into thinking it's not [02:04] you know,... those first few kilobytes of harddrive space are crucial,... i think it's win7's fault [02:04] could be, i am actually supposed to install win7 (from upgrade media, at that), and lucid for a friend on his laptop tonight [02:05] :) right on. [02:05] i have never used win7, let alone installed it [02:05] i love helping out my friends [02:05] my lenovo came with vista,... and i hated it,... win 7 was better,... but ever since 10.04 kubuntu is where i stay [02:06] i love it [02:06] i have vista ultimate in virtualbox on my desktop, which i have only used occasionally for work-related purposes [02:06] yeah,.. i've got xp in virtualbox,... which i use only for fulltiltpoker.net [02:07] i used to use wine,... but found it unstable.... virtualbox is much easier,... and i don't mind it if i need some windows prog... [02:08] 90 percent of my time is within kubuntu [02:08] more like 95%,... lol. === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [02:09] i wish i could say i used linux 100% of the time... but it is fairly close. however, i will soon have to be managing a windows server at work... something which i have never done before, and know next to nothing about [02:10] i find it strange that i've taken so well to kubuntu,.... i've all but left microsoft behind me. [02:10] the other servers i manage are all running ubuntu, gentoo or 'nexentastor' [02:10] nice... [02:11] i'm just a basic comptech,... most hardware,... and minimal software skills [02:11] i am definitely not whiz at gentoo, either... one of the gentoo servers is going to be retired, and the other is going to be replaced with an ubuntu installation later this year [02:12] nice,... yeah, I'm still getting used to doing things with the command line,.... i remember the old days of dos.... comming back to the prompt on an exotic os, is hard. [02:13] yeah, same here. i started out as a hobbyist about 5 years ago. my license wound up suspended for 90 days for an unpaid speeding ticket.... to combat boredom, i ordered a new PC, unboxed it, wiped the drive, and begain playing with ubuntu [02:13] as of about a year now, i am making a (meager) living with what i learned [02:14] yeah,.. I used to work with a friend of mine who introduced me to debian 3.1,... i continued to use windows until recently 6or7 months ago [02:15] he really tried to convince me of linux and it's capabilities,... i saw the genius of it,... but never really committed to using it. [02:15] this irc channel used to be fairly lively. it seems like over the last few years it has nearly died [02:16] yeah,... well, who are these 242 users,... bots....????? idunno [02:16] yeah, i kind of dove in head first. i have been using mostly linux since the day i unboxed that PC... but i did have a rough start, and did switch back and forth a lot to do things in windows i had not yet learned to do in linux [02:16] no idea [02:17] i guess i don't see the 242 users.. where do you see them? [02:17] yeah,... i've flip-flopped myself,... linux is a hell of a learning curve. [02:17] i'm using quassel,... they're on the right hand side [02:18] what do you see.? [02:18] * jmichaelx is clueless [02:18] sorry, it didn't sink in immediately that you were referring to the number of users in the channel [02:18] lol,... :) [02:19] i think a number of people sort of stay logged into this and various other irc channels, even if they seldon interact in them [02:20] yeah,... i did that for months before i got my nerves up to try to help someone [02:20] so,.. where ya from? [02:21] well, i have lived in indiana all my life. am from southern indiana, but now live in northern indiana, near the MI border [02:21] right on,.. Portland Oregon,... here. [02:22] wow, near the MS homeland [02:22] ok, wrong again, that is washington, isn't it? [02:22] 'MS' .... ? [02:22] yeah [02:22] microsoft [02:22] Using Kubuntu 10.10 beta - "desktop effects have been suspended by another application" [02:22] ahhh,... lol yup seattle,.... not too far away for us. [02:23] elijah: what video adapter are you using? [02:23] "The following desktop effects could not be activated" [02:23] elijah,.... try your power settings [02:23] jmichaelx: Not sure, how do I identify? You mean video card? [02:24] wihin them is the option to turn off desktop effects [02:24] based on time or power levels [02:24] elijah: yes. open a terminal, and enter 'lspci'... you should see something in the list referring to your video card [02:24] collabra: Okay, I see that option, it is unchecked for all profiles [02:25] elijah: yeah, what collabra is mentioning would also be well worth checking out [02:25] Geforce 8400M GS [02:25] elijah,... is it only a few desktop effects,... or does it turn them all off [02:25] It gives a laundry list of over 10 [02:26] Then it cuts off the list at the bottom of the screen [02:26] elijah: i assume you are using a live CD? [02:26] that's normal,... some desktop effects are canceled by others [02:26] jmichaelx: no, disk install [02:27] elijah: did you have desktop effects working originally, then have them stop on you? [02:27] you can't enable all of the desktop effects, elijah.... some of them will be disabled because of others. [02:27] you just have to play with the settings and find a middle ground [02:27] No, I just installed Kubuntu 2 hours ago, I wanted the minimize to be slick. [02:28] Under the general tab it says "Desktop effects are temporarily disabled" [02:28] It has been that way since minute one [02:28] hmm,.... [02:28] sounds like your graphics card may not be supported for compiz [02:28] elijah: have you looked into installing your nvidia drivers? [02:29] jmichaelx: Not yet, how do I do that? [02:29] yeah,... that could work [02:29] I thought they came with Kubuntu... :) [02:29] elijah: by default, your card will use free drivers that are not capable of supporting desktop effects [02:29] applications>system [02:30] elijah: applications>system <------------it should be near the top [02:30] yes, then slect 'hardware drivers' [02:30] select* [02:30] Got it [02:30] this might be an easy fix,... i'll keep my fingers crossed [02:31] elijah: you may need to reboot [02:31] elijah: it should recommend the nvidia 185 driver. select that, and it will take a few minutes. when it says it is finished, you'll need to reboot [02:31] yeah [02:31] if so,... you gotta come back and tell us how it went [02:31] activating now [02:31] whooo hoooo! [02:31] right on [02:31] totally. i keep waiting for dan_l to come back and say how things went for him [02:31] I will [02:32] jmichaelx: yeah,... huh. [02:32] I gotta show off the eye candy to my peeps ;) [02:32] :) [02:33] elijah: once the proprietary driver is installed, you should be ready to do. btw, i have nearly the same card in this PC [02:33] That might make sense why my video wasn't playing back smooth before too in OpenShot! [02:33] ready to go* [02:33] jmichaelx: gtk [02:33] Restarting, I'll be back... [02:34] well,... that was easy. [02:34] that's the way i like em [02:34] simple and to the point. [02:34] the FOSS 'nouveau' driver has really come a long way, though. it can't do 3D (yet), but for 2D, it has worked fairly well for me [02:35] i've got an intel POS in my lenovo,... but,,... i have to admint,... it get's me through well enought [02:35] enough [02:36] 3d is fairly smooth,... and 2d is fast enough [02:36] yeah, i have intel on several laptops.... suits me just fine. desktop effects and everything work well [02:36] i'd rather have nvidia [02:36] this PC has an onboard intel GPU, but i've never used it [02:36] it was an option for me ,... but i went for the cheaper one. [02:37] It's a workin'! [02:37] right on! [02:37] elijah: happy to help [02:37] i have mixed feelings. i am not a purist (in practice at least) but i always resist installing proprietary software on my systems [02:37] elijah: congrats! [02:37] Lovin' the transparency on window moves too! [02:38] jmichaelx: I hear you there [02:38] elijah: yeah, that card works great here, too [02:38] what's the cube?.... ctrl or alt f11 [02:38] i dunno, i only see the cube when i switch virtual desktops [02:38] i think its ctrl f11 [02:39] you can enable the cube [02:39] collabra: ctrl + f11 but I want to make it super plus middle wheel click [02:39] yep, ctl+f11 [02:40] I used that combo 2 years agato but don't know how to get it back to th [02:40] that [02:40] go to system settings>desktop>desktop effects> all effects [02:40] Yeah, I am there but it won't let me set it that way [02:40] there will be little "wrenches" on the right,... you will be able to customize it there. [02:41] argh [02:41] oh well [02:41] take your time,... [02:41] elijah: i don't know whether or not this is what you mean, but if you just go to system settings>desktop, you can select 'dektop cube animation' as your effect for desktop switching [02:41] it took me something like 10 hours to completely customize my system [02:42] elijah: then you'll see the cude when you scroll you mouse wheel on the desktop [02:42] jmichaelx: maybe close, how do you switch desktops again? [02:42] i switch by mouse when scroll, or by clicking on the boxes in the pager in the panel [02:43] mouse wheel scroll* [02:43] * jmichaelx is a typo-king [02:43] brb [02:43] How do you switch by mouse? [02:43] by following the steps i mentioned above [02:46] "i switch by mouse when scroll" [02:47] Gotcha [02:47] You have to be ON the desktop [02:47] cumbersome, a bit [02:48] Do you know how to rearrange desktops so they are left and right not top and bottom [02:51] i'm back [02:52] elijah: i don't know,... never tried it before....but i'm sure there's a way,... [02:53] kde is so configurable.... Just keep lookin if there is a way i'm sure you'll find it [02:54] back again. had a neighbor stop in [02:55] jmichaelx: do you know how to put the virtual desktop in a single row instead of two? [02:55] Wow, this list is awesome! Too bad none of them work BUT this tells me there is a way! http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2010/05/05/compiz-keyboard-shortcuts-in-ubuntu-10-04/ [02:55] you mean the pager? just right-click on the pager, and in the settings select 1 row instead of 2 [02:55] Nice - Ctrl + f10 [02:56] yup,... that's it alright. [02:56] jmichaelx: Thanks, that did the trick [02:57] ctrl + f10 shows all windows in all workspaces!!! [02:57] i believe ctl+f9 shows all on current desktop [02:57] ctl+f8 shows all the desktops at once [03:00] those are very handy too! [03:01] Nice, ctrl + f8 you can even drag windows to other workspaces from that screen [03:01] ctl-f12 brings the desktop (minus open windows) forward.... just learning this tonight, and i use kubuntu practically all day every day [03:01] very nice too! [03:01] what is keyboard shortcut for show desktop [03:01] that is pretty cool, i honestly had no idea about some of these key combinations [03:02] isn't kde wonderful?.... i mean, the different configurations, and key strokes, and customization.... wow. [03:02] I am also looking for the effect that draws fire on the screen [03:02] can't get that in gnome [03:02] elijah: not sure, i just use a panel icon to show desktop [03:02] I think gnome has a lot of this too, no? [03:02] well,... yeah,.. but,... mainly compiz,... not the rest of the gui. [03:03] elijah: well, it is probably more compiz than gnome, but yes, compiz has all of this, plus more [03:03] kde goes further with the ability to customize your system [03:03] gotcha [03:03] Have you guys ever used that compiz effect to draw fire or sparkle stuff on the screen? [03:03] you can use compiz in kde, instead of kwin, but i have not done that since kde4 came out [03:03] It dims out your screen and you press meta/super and draw? [03:04] Are these effects compiz or kwin? [03:04] i think that may come from additional compiz plugins [03:04] elijah: these are kwin, although i am sure a lot of the code is actually from compiz, or based on it in some way [03:04] i haven't been able to find it with the default install,... but like i said, i'm sure it has the ability [03:08] compiz doesn't come up in a package search [03:08] Guess I don't get my fire easily :( [03:08] try searching by description [03:09] elijah: i am sure there are plenty of tutorials on the web for setting up kubuntu to use compiz instead of kwin by default [03:09] ctrl + alt + d = show desktop on ubuntu [03:09] elijah: compiz should come up in your package search, as well as a lot of other, related packed [03:10] packages* [03:10] k, I just tried compiz again [03:10] it worked this time [03:10] elijah: there is even a package named 'compiz-kde' [03:10] not sure what I did wrong but good! [03:12] kwin does include a effect that puts snowflakes on your screen, but i do not have it enabled [03:13] INteresting discussion - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1459538.html [03:13] haha - I have snowflakes on right now! [03:17] it's hard to believe how dead #kubuntu has become. if we weren't here, i'd not be surprised if there would have been nothing going on in here the last hour [03:18] i wonder whether or not that is any kind of indication that the number of kubuntu users has declined [03:18] collabra: what version of KDE are you using? [03:18] jmichaelx: sorry,... im still on the phone [03:18] brb [03:18] 10.04 [03:20] collabra: i mean your version of kde, not kubuntu [03:20] i'm still using 4.4.5. have not moved to 4.5 yet [03:21] night... [03:22] i am tempted to go ahead and install kde 4.5.1 tonight, but it will involve a little bit of work [03:22] eh, i think i'm going to back up .kde4 and go for it [03:23] make that '.kde' [03:29] nevermind, not gonna do it. i guess i'll get 4.5.1when i move to maverick [03:36] jmichaelx: I've gotta go help move a friend.... I'll try to be back in two hours if you'll be here,... I will be.... anyway,... it's good to meet cha' indiana... and i'll talk to you later. [03:37] take care!
