| DarthFrog | MaxDamage: nv vs. Mesa is like bread and marmalade: two different things. | 00:12 |
| MaxDamage | It is? | 00:13 |
| MaxDamage | Still, the "nv" driver worked perfectly before. | 00:13 |
| DarthFrog | MaxDamage: If you're using the nv driver, you would also be using Mesa for software 3D. | 00:13 |
| MaxDamage | DarthFrog; Right... | 00:13 |
| MaxDamage | I don't have any hardware 3D, though. | 00:14 |
| DarthFrog | Or do you mean "vesa"? Video Electronics Standards Association. | 00:14 |
| MaxDamage | vesa, maybe | 00:14 |
| MaxDamage | Yeah | 00:14 |
| DarthFrog | MaxDamage: You have a Nvidia card without 3D? | 00:14 |
| MaxDamage | GeForce 8600 GTS | 00:14 |
| MaxDamage | No 3D is available in glxgears | 00:15 |
| MaxDamage | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 00:15 |
| MaxDamage | Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual | 00:15 |
| DarthFrog | Well, it's not the card's fault! :-) | 00:15 |
| MaxDamage | I know it's not. | 00:15 |
| DarthFrog | That card certainly does have hardware 3D. | 00:15 |
| MaxDamage | I'm trying to manually install the nVidia drivers now, you messaged me 3 seconds before I was about to stop kdm | 00:15 |
| MaxDamage | Runs Modern Warfare 2 at 100 FPS average ;p | 00:16 |
| MaxDamage | So it definitely does. | 00:16 |
| DarthFrog | The nv drivers are 2D only. | 00:16 |
| MaxDamage | They are? | 00:16 |
| DarthFrog | The proprietary nvidia drivers are the ones you want. | 00:16 |
| MaxDamage | Okay, stopping kdm and installing it the manual way. | 00:16 |
| MaxDamage | I do need to run nvidia-xconfig after I install right? | 00:17 |
| DarthFrog | Shouldn't need to. | 00:17 |
| MaxDamage | Alright, then. | 00:17 |
| MaxDamage | Back in 5, hopefully. | 00:17 |
| MaxDamage | :) | 00:17 |
| Daskreech | analex: ugh sorry I keep getting called away | 00:21 |
| Daskreech | analex: Did you get the upgrade instructions? | 00:21 |
| analex | yup... | 00:22 |
| MaxDamage | Okay, that was a disaster. | 00:22 |
| analex | it seems as thought I have a version of Kubuntu that has been terminated... | 00:22 |
| analex | 7.04 | 00:22 |
| analex | can't get any updates or anything... | 00:22 |
| MaxDamage | DarthFrog: It said something about a pre-install script failing, but I told it to continue anyway. | 00:22 |
| MaxDamage | Any idea what that is caused by? | 00:22 |
| Daskreech | analex: You can't. but you can upgrade | 00:23 |
| analex | how?? | 00:23 |
| DarthFrog | MaxDamage: Not enough info, sorry. | 00:23 |
| analex | I'm not gettin' thoses instructions anywhere online.. | 00:23 |
| Daskreech | analex: Very honestly it would be faster and 100X less headache to install a new version | 00:23 |
| MaxDamage | DarthFrog: I'll check the log file that Xorg left behind. ;p | 00:23 |
| DarthFrog | MaxDamage: Is glxgears working? | 00:23 |
| Daskreech | analex: do you have your home dir different from your / | 00:23 |
| analex | that's why I'm even trying to get a usb-installer program, because I have no blank cds with me now, and I need to install it like now... | 00:24 |
| analex | yes I do.... | 00:24 |
| Daskreech | analex: Ah ok and you need one on Kubuntu 7.04? | 00:25 |
| Daskreech | or do you have a windows machine nearby? | 00:25 |
| MaxDamage | DarthFrog: Graphics are in safe mode at the moment, so I doubt it. ;) | 00:25 |
| MaxDamage | Nope, doesn't work | 00:25 |
| analex | no I don't, the windows laptop is in use by my housemate in another room... | 00:25 |
| DarthFrog | MaxDamage: The Xorg.0.log file will tell you which driver Xorg is using. | 00:26 |
| Daskreech | they can't give you 10 minutes of time? | 00:26 |
| analex | lemmie check.... brb | 00:26 |
| MaxDamage | DarthFrog: Seems like I'm using vesa currently. | 00:27 |
| analex | got the windows laptop.... @Daskreech | 00:29 |
| Daskreech | analex: ok | 00:29 |
| wubih | i | 00:30 |
| Daskreech | analex: Do you have an iso for the new Kubuntu? | 00:30 |
| wubih | hi from turkey | 00:30 |
| analex | gettin' it as we speak.. | 00:30 |
| Daskreech | analex: ok You'll need the live usb creator | 00:31 |
| analex | on which system?? windows or tis one??? | 00:32 |
| Daskreech | analex: hold finding a windows one | 00:32 |
| analex | ok.... | 00:32 |
| Daskreech | analex: https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ | 00:33 |
| Daskreech | Get that and then you can point it at the Ubuntu ISO | 00:33 |
| wubih | i am using mint 9.i have a problem with full-videos | 00:33 |
| Daskreech | analex: Do you have lots of data on your / partition? | 00:33 |
| analex | umm.... nope.. just installed the kubuntu today... | 00:34 |
| Daskreech | analex: Ok you should be ok then | 00:34 |
| wubih | türk kullanıcı var mı? | 00:35 |
| Daskreech | install the Live USB creator on Windows | 00:35 |
| Daskreech | CLiick browse and point it at the Kubuntu ISO | 00:35 |
| Daskreech | the USB stick has to be formatted (or at least have 1GB free) and then click create USB | 00:35 |
| Daskreech | You can boot from it and install | 00:36 |
| analex | ohhh, so I should install it on the windows system?? | 00:36 |
| Daskreech | analex: heading on the road should be back in an hour | 00:36 |
| Daskreech | analex: install what? | 00:36 |
| analex | the usb-creator | 00:37 |
| Daskreech | yes | 00:37 |
| analex | cool... | 00:38 |
| Daskreech | copy the .iso to windows | 00:39 |
| Daskreech | make sure you have space on the USB stick and click on brwse in the USBcreator program and choose the kubuntu ISO | 00:39 |
| Daskreech | click Create USB and let it do it's thing | 00:40 |
| Daskreech | ( you can give it back to your roomate at that point just get them to call y ou when it's done) | 00:40 |
| Daskreech | boot up this computer with the USB and install | 00:40 |
| Daskreech | analex: Have to catch somewhere I'm gone see you in about an hour | 00:41 |
| analex | ok, cool... | 00:41 |
| analex | hopefully by then, I'm running the newer version... | 00:42 |

| Neurotrophin | Anyone know of up-to-date, working instructions on installing nvidia driver? | 02:51 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: propritary | 02:55 |
| cjae | !jockey | 02:55 |
| cjae | no bots? | 02:55 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: Yes, proprietary... The ones so I can actually get usable 3D exceleration.. | 02:56 |
| Neurotrophin | The documentation I found on the web didn't work.. | 02:56 |
| Neurotrophin | for multiple reasons.. looks out of date.. | 02:56 |
| Neurotrophin | kubuntu's documentation links don't appear to have any instructions.... reverts over to ubuntu anyway.. Ubuntu has a gui tool for it.. | 02:57 |
| Neurotrophin | I've done this before so many times.. but.. it changes over time, I guess.. and I don't remember exactly, anyway.. | 02:58 |
| Daskreech | elijah: you mounted your drive as root perhaps? | 02:58 |
| Neurotrophin | Ok... No documentation on installing nvidia drivers.. no way to search mailing list archives.. no one providing any help on IRC.. | 03:01 |
| Neurotrophin | Anywhere else to turn? | 03:01 |
| Neurotrophin | If I install gnome, will that provide the Ubuntu method of installing nvidia drivers? | 03:02 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: no need for gnome | 03:02 |
| cjae | what version of kubuntu | 03:02 |
| Neurotrophin | The latest.. | 03:02 |
| CkhiKuzad | is it possible to install KDE in ubuntu 10.04 without the hundreds of ":D i have a K in my name but you might not want to see me while you run gnome but i'm here!" programs that are installed with installing kubuntu-desktop | 03:03 |
| Neurotrophin | CkhiKuzad: You can pick the parts you want.. kde base... and go from there... Just don't install the meta package for everything. | 03:05 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QByStWMuIW4 | 03:05 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: that app is on the menu somewhere under "hardware drivers" | 03:05 |
| cjae | easy peasy | 03:06 |
| Neurotrophin | ok.. installing flash now so I can see that.. | 03:06 |
| CkhiKuzad | Neurotrophin, so it's recommended if i do not want the hundreds of megabytes of programs i already have, to install kde-base? | 03:06 |
| Neurotrophin | it's not going to eliminate anything you already installed. | 03:07 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: lol | 03:07 |
| CkhiKuzad | Neurotrophin, i havent installed anything yet. | 03:08 |
| CkhiKuzad | but installing kde-base will allow me to run the WM without the billion apps? | 03:08 |
| CkhiKuzad | well not WM, more like DE | 03:08 |
| Neurotrophin | CkhiKuzad: then you can just pick out the minimal kde packages you want.. to some level of granularity.. it isn't quite down to the specific application level for everything.. | 03:08 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: that video shows the gnome way.. I have never been able to find that app under kubuntu.. | 03:09 |
| Daskreech | CkhiKuzad: You can. In KDE at least you can tell the menu to ignore all GNome programs (Or KDE programs) I suppose you can tell the menu in Gnome to do the same | 03:09 |
| phoenix_ | hello everyone | 03:09 |
| CkhiKuzad | you can't Daskreech. i've tried and failed on the last 3 releases of ubuntu | 03:09 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: but if your on the newest version I think it might be broken still, but you should be using nouveau which should do all your rendering needs unless you have more than one screen and that might be fixed now too | 03:10 |
| phoenix_ | can the delay in drag and drop be improved | 03:10 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: nouveau is severely substandard unless just for 2D | 03:10 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin that app is on kubuntu too as I am looking at it right now | 03:10 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: how do i get to it? | 03:10 |
| CkhiKuzad | Neurotrophin, this isnt exactly what i am asking. for example, the package Kfoo would be installed by default with Kubuntu-desktop, and Kbar would too. I dont want either of them, would installing kde-base allow me to not install Kfoo and Kbar? | 03:11 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: what, it worked for compiz | 03:11 |
| Neurotrophin | CkhiKuzad: it's the base.. you can then add what specific other kde apps you want.. some of those packages have a number of things in them and other have only one app.. it all depends. | 03:12 |
| cjae | btw itss called jockey | 03:12 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: it might work for compiz... it won't work (usably) for Glest, for example.. | 03:13 |
| Daskreech | CkhiKuzad: Ow. You can't install an alternate menu that lets you do what you want? | 03:13 |
| CkhiKuzad | dont really trust alternate menus, Daskreech | 03:13 |
| CkhiKuzad | they usually suck. | 03:13 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: nouveau driver gives very minimal 3D exceleration support | 03:13 |
| cjae | Neurotrophin: ahh | 03:13 |
| CkhiKuzad | Neurotrophin, what i have been asking this entire time is, and this is all i want to know. If i were to install kde-base, would the packages that come with kubuntu-desktop be installed? thats all i want to know. | 03:14 |
| Daskreech | CkhiKuzad: No | 03:14 |
| Neurotrophin | CkhiKuzad: no.. it installs the underlying kde-base... that's all | 03:14 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: ok.. there's a jockey-kde package.. not sure what the executable is... but it's already installed (somewhere) | 03:15 |
| CkhiKuzad | Neurotrophin, so no kopete, no Okular, none of those packages. | 03:15 |
| Neurotrophin | CkhiKuzad: no.. just the base... what it says it is... that's it | 03:16 |
| CkhiKuzad | alright. thank you | 03:16 |
| Neurotrophin | (last I checked.. I highly doubt that has changed) | 03:16 |
| CkhiKuzad | Your support is great when someone is asking an incredibly detailed question, but it does make people confused when they just want a yes or no answer for the question they asked. | 03:16 |
| CkhiKuzad | anyway, installing kde-base now. thanks for your help Neurotrophin, Daskreech, | 03:17 |
| Daskreech | ok | 03:17 |
| Daskreech | Not sure what he expects to get from that | 03:17 |
| Neurotrophin | cjae: jockey-kde ... I will never forget that, now.. It's downloading the kde driver.. I hope it works. | 03:18 |

| elijah | Pretty awesome! | 03:48 |
| illunatic | good deal | 03:48 |
| illunatic | what OS did you use before? | 03:48 |
| elijah | Except it always asks me for passwords for my NTFS volumes | 03:48 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: How do you mount your drives? | 03:48 |
| DaskreecH | are they mounted at boot? | 03:49 |
| elijah | DaskreecH: Yeah, mounted at boot | 03:49 |
| illunatic | it asks for sudo pass? | 03:49 |
| elijah | illunatic: Yeah, "KdeSudo " asks | 03:49 |
| elijah | and it is the sudo pass | 03:49 |
| elijah | Everytime I come out of sleep it asks too | 03:49 |
| DaskreecH | I can kinda understand out of sleep | 03:52 |
| DaskreecH | I don't get at boot. is your drive in the fstab? | 03:53 |
| illunatic | yeah you can change that in preferences somewhere i believe | 03:53 |
| elijah | I have it set to not use a password on resume, for normal login | 03:53 |
| elijah | But that is diff. right? | 03:53 |
| elijah | I don't know what Fstab is? | 03:53 |
| DaskreecH | !fstab | 03:53 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 03:53 |
| elijah | The partitions aren't listed in the fstab file | 03:55 |
| elijah | So, it says " If a device/partition is not listed in fstab ONLY ROOT may mount the device/partition." | 03:56 |
| DaskreecH | try stick them in there :) | 03:56 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: but it will be mounted automagically by root everytime the kernel gets woken | 03:56 |
| elijah | DaskreecH: Is there a way I can see what they are mounted as in dolphin? | 03:56 |
| elijah | I am just wondering if everyone has this problem | 03:57 |
| elijah | it would seem that they do | 03:57 |
| illunatic | afaik the directory should be /media/whatever | 03:57 |
| elijah | k, well this seems to be on the right track | 03:57 |
| elijah | oh, I thought it had to be dev/sda5 etc | 03:58 |
| illunatic | did you boot with the device connected? | 03:58 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: type mount in the terminal | 03:58 |
| DaskreecH | you can press F4 in Dolphin to get a terminal | 03:58 |
| elijah | Yeah, I only have one hdd in this laptop, two NTFS partitions from my XP and one ext4 for Kubuntu + a swap partition | 03:59 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: /media/disk and /dev/sda5 are two ways of saying the same thing | 03:59 |
| DaskreecH | One maps to the other | 03:59 |
| elijah | Weird, fstab only has the partition paths in comments | 04:00 |
| elijah | UUID=3457y7....... | 04:00 |
| DaskreecH | With the only exception being that there can only be one (at a time) /media/disk whereas /dev/sdb5 can be reused many times | 04:00 |
| illunatic | i love that you can mount other partitions. that is awesome. | 04:00 |
| elijah | Ok, this seems that it is going to take some learning | 04:00 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: yes Ubuntu uses UUID | 04:00 |
| DaskreecH | !uuid | 04:01 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 04:01 |
| elijah | Thanks for getting me on the right track | 04:01 |
| DaskreecH | You can read about it there | 04:01 |
| elijah | I will reattempt tomorrow | 04:01 |
| elijah | sleepy time in a few minutes | 04:01 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: I can give a quick explanation if you want | 04:01 |
| elijah | DaskreecH: Sure! | 04:01 |
| illunatic | i think you can just sudo mount /dev/sdb5 | 04:01 |
| DaskreecH | the place /dev holds all your devices | 04:01 |
| illunatic | but there is something else you have to do to automount at boot | 04:02 |
| DaskreecH | the directory /dev (and /proc) isn't real | 04:02 |
| DaskreecH | It's made up when the computer starts and sees what devices are there | 04:02 |
| fqhuy | Hi, did anyone try kde 4.5.1 ? | 04:02 |
| DaskreecH | but anything that you can touch in the real world like a keyboard or monitor or drive exist there | 04:03 |
| fqhuy | last time I tried 4.5 ended up with reinstall kubuntu | 04:03 |
| fqhuy | hey, any idea about new KDE 4.5.1 on Kubuntu 10.04 | 04:03 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: The only problem being that if your computer changes then what was /dev/sdb1 last week could be /dev/sdc1 next week | 04:03 |
| DaskreecH | However each device has a Unique ID (UUID) that can be used to pick it out regardless of where it is in /dev | 04:04 |
| elijah | k | 04:04 |
| DaskreecH | So if you computer isn't plugging drives on and off you can use /dev/sdb5 | 04:05 |
| elijah | how do my lockes/passworded drives get mounted if they are not in fstab? | 04:05 |
| DaskreecH | if you want to make sure that that drive always goes to /where/you/want on boot then you can use the UUID | 04:05 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: Not sure I would guess they get mounted by Dolphin cause of your KDE session | 04:06 |
| elijah | DaskreecH: K | 04:07 |
| DaskreecH | Could be a few things. If you have something that you were working on that 's tied to that drive it would try and call it back when KDE starts since it remembers the last thing you were doing | 04:07 |

| elijah | DaskreecH: Where is it? | 04:16 |
| elijah | I did "sudo blkid" | 04:17 |
| elijah | and I have paths and UUIDs now. IS it safe to use the UUID? | 04:17 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: where is? | 04:17 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: yes of course :) | 04:17 |
| elijah | hmm, ntfs or ntfs-3g are options | 04:19 |
| elijah | I didn't know ntfs-3g was a filesystem, actually | 04:19 |
| DaskreecH | it's .. umm a fake filesystem? | 04:21 |
| DaskreecH | Its just a driver for the filesystem | 04:22 |
| elijah | DaskreecH: Yeah, a slow one too! | 04:23 |
| DaskreecH | elijah: Can't be too careful :) | 04:24 |
| elijah | DaskreecH: So, won't it handle it the same either way if it is ntfs-3g vs ntfs? Isn't that how it r/w ntfs? | 04:24 |
| elijah | Or is there another driver besides ntfs-3g? | 04:24 |
| elijah | Btw, the paid driver from the same company on mac is uberfast | 04:24 |

| sea4ever | Hi, I'm not sure what happened but now I no longer get a login prompt at startup. | 04:43 |
| sea4ever | In fact I get nothing at all, after the verbose boot messages it switches to a better resolution (all black) with a blinking cursor and just hangs there. | 04:44 |
| sea4ever | Any way I could figure out what it's doing? | 04:44 |
| DaskreecH | sea4ever: looked in your xsession errors log? | 04:53 |
| sea4ever | It doesn't get as far as running X, DaskreecH | 04:55 |
| sea4ever | At the part where the services start, like (checking battery state...OK, starting nfs daemon...OK), that's where it stopped | 04:55 |
| DaskreecH | sea4ever: ah umm do you get a terminal? | 04:55 |
| sea4ever | No actually! The services starting stopped showing up, it's hidden to me for an unknown reason | 04:56 |
| sea4ever | No terminal on any VT, ctrl+alt+<x> doesn't work on any f-key | 04:56 |
| DaskreecH | sea4ever: alt+ctrl+bkspc doesn't work? | 04:56 |
| sea4ever | Hm..uh I could try that | 04:57 |
| DaskreecH | or alt+Prntscren+k ? | 04:57 |
| sea4ever | Lemme try both, hold on | 04:57 |
| sea4ever | apparently it changed the loglevel or something. | 04:58 |
| sea4ever | DaskreecH: Any idea why the services starting don't show up? I notice that it doesn't switch to VT7/8 when booting up, it stays on VT1 | 04:59 |
| DaskreecH | sea4ever: what did you install before you booted down last? | 05:01 |
| sea4ever | uhh..nothing actually. If I remember right I turned on the laptop to check the schedule for my next class and to copy off my homework | 05:04 |
| sea4ever | and then I turned it off again | 05:04 |
| sea4ever | I'm gonna try something else here | 05:09 |
| DaskreecH | sea4ever: didn't install a new kernel? | 05:09 |
| sea4ever | nah..even if I did I tried the older ones from grub | 05:09 |
| sea4ever | same result for all | 05:10 |
| === HuntingKitten is now known as DeathKitten | ||
| sea4ever | Ah, I got it working | 05:10 |
| DaskreecH | bleah that's a .. well upstart issue I'd guess | 05:11 |
| sea4ever | Ok, here's what was wrong: Somehow it's configured *not* to show startup messages | 05:11 |
| DaskreecH | trired rescue ? | 05:11 |
| DaskreecH | And you were just being impatient? | 05:11 |
| sea4ever | the root filesystem was corrupted (probably because I shut it down in a hurry because I was late) | 05:11 |
| sea4ever | and finally, since I couldn't see the boot messages I never saw the 'File system is corrupted, Fix?(y/n)' message | 05:12 |
| sea4ever | So I just fixed that from liveCD and it starts up just fine. | 05:12 |

| illunatic | i need it working on this one as well, but despite my config so far, no luck | 08:42 |
| illunatic | was wondering if i can just copy the config over from the other one? | 08:42 |
| rascranasingha | illunatic: what are the different installations? | 08:42 |
| illunatic | 2 paritions of kubuntu 10.04 | 08:43 |
| illunatic | but the working mic partition is only 10Gb and i need it on the larger partition as well | 08:44 |
| rascranasingha | Wait | 08:44 |
| rascranasingha | does tham mean | 08:44 |
| rascranasingha | that you have two KUbuntu 10.04 instances installed on two partitions | 08:45 |

| rascranasingha | ok i'll see it | 08:47 |
| illunatic | last time it was a matter of editing /var/lib/alsa/asound.state so that capture switch values were true | 08:48 |
| rascranasingha | BTW.. Why'd YOu Have Two KUbuntu 10.04 partitions? :-) | 08:48 |
| illunatic | the 10GB one was to try it out for a while without removing windows | 08:49 |
| illunatic | now i've installed over the old windows partition, but kept the 10GB one since it still works and everything is configured on that to work at least | 08:50 |
| rascranasingha | Did YOu try that /var/ thingy? | 08:50 |
| illunatic | yeah and the capture options show up in both kmix and alsamixer | 08:50 |

| rascranasingha | Trying to access one device | 08:53 |
| illunatic | nah don't think so | 08:53 |
| illunatic | i'm gonna try just copying those two files and see if it doesn't fix it heh | 08:54 |
| rascranasingha | Did This start after you installed over the Windows PArtition | 08:54 |
| rascranasingha | ? | 08:54 |
| rascranasingha | :-) | 08:57 |
| rascranasingha | illunatic: did anything work? | 09:03 |
| illunatic | well i copied over both the alsa-source.com and the asound.state | 09:05 |
| illunatic | are there any other files relating to the input device i should be aware of? | 09:05 |
| rascranasingha | not that I know of | 09:06 |
| rascranasingha | I looked at the | 09:06 |
| rascranasingha | link on your forum | 09:06 |
| rascranasingha | did you try booting to the instance with which you had problems | 09:07 |
| rascranasingha | and modifying the asound.state? | 09:07 |
| noaXess | does anybody has also the problem in dolphin that it don't response if any folder/files is doubleclicked? | 09:12 |
| illunatic | i just remembered... last time i jsut copied the whole /usr/ directory from the working partition to this one and the mic worked | 09:12 |
| illunatic | so it had to be something there | 09:12 |
| illunatic | haha | 09:12 |
| illunatic | but i was having errors so i don't want to copy the whole thing this time :X | 09:12 |
| illunatic | noaXess: yeah | 09:13 |
| noaXess | have that since de 4.5.1.. | 09:13 |
| noaXess | hey illunatic | 09:13 |
| noaXess | is there no fix? | 09:13 |
| illunatic | because you're only supposed to single click unless you set it to double click | 09:13 |
| illunatic | i dunno. dolphin seems to crash easily | 09:13 |
| noaXess | illunatic: i have it on doubleclick... | 09:14 |
| noaXess | with singleclick no problem? | 09:14 |
| illunatic | oh... that's just not right | 09:14 |
| noaXess | it occurs also if i right click and select anything, eg. open with kate | 09:14 |
| illunatic | yeah but i'm not using kde 4.5.1 | 09:14 |
| rascranasingha | illunatic: did that work? | 09:19 |
| illunatic | rascranasingha: yeah it worked before, but i had to install kubuntu again because there were too many problems since doing that | 09:21 |
| illunatic | so i know it's possible to get it working :) | 09:21 |
| rascranasingha | illunatic: that's good | 09:22 |
| illunatic | perhaps it's the /usr/lib/alsa-lib files | 09:24 |
| illunatic | or /usr/share/alsa, alsa-base, alsa-source | 09:25 |
| rascranasingha | illunatic: Mabye alsa-base is not the answer | 09:29 |

| EvilRoey | Hello. I am on Lucid Lynx with a Geforce 9800 GT graphics card. Out of the blue two days ago (after some update, who knows), the Desktop Effects functionality appears disabled no matter what I do. 'glxinfo' says "direct rendering: yes", so I don't get what the problem is.... | 14:51 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: and I take it glxgears works? | 14:53 |
| EvilRoey | Ooh, right, checking. | 14:54 |
| EvilRoey | James147: yes, yes it does. | 14:54 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: ... weird | 14:54 |
| EvilRoey | What's the next check, then? | 14:54 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: could you try creating a new user and seeing if it works for them | 14:54 |
| EvilRoey | true. | 14:55 |
| EvilRoey | brb | 14:55 |
| EvilRoey | James147: hey! I created an auxiliary user and found that it's fine over there as far as desktop effects. | 14:59 |
| EvilRoey | James147: so what could cause DEs to fail for my user then? | 14:59 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: config problem... my guess is with kwin :) | 15:00 |
| EvilRoey | James147: hrm. But. Ah well, right. I'll pester #kde | 15:01 |
| James147 | (my guess, and I could be wrong is that kwin marked a file to tell it that for somereason decided that your comp cannot handle defsktop effects, and is reasing that file to save checking every login) | 15:02 |
| James147 | i would check ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc | 15:02 |
| EvilRoey | hey all, why would I suddenly lose my inventory of Desktop Effects under the 'All Effects' tab (and DE is obviously suspended), but ONLY FOR ONE USER? | 15:04 |
| EvilRoey | that is the question better put. | 15:04 |
| EvilRoey | James147: http://pastebin.com/SZkxVJRD | 15:18 |
| EvilRoey | James147: I moved kwinrc out and let kde build a new one; that worked. The link shows the diff between the two. | 15:18 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: well... my best guess would be the OpenGLIsUnsafe=false (its false on the one that works, true on the one that doesnt) | 15:24 |
| EvilRoey | right right. | 15:24 |
| EvilRoey | that's what I suspected, too | 15:25 |
| James147 | (why did i read it bottem up... took allot longer to find that) :D | 15:25 |
| EvilRoey | hahaha | 15:25 |
| EvilRoey | I do that too :P | 15:25 |
| EvilRoey | impatience on our parts | 15:25 |
| EvilRoey | it's our generation. | 15:25 |
| James147 | i did a search for effects and started at that :) | 15:25 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: i would be tempted to just delete all the lines that refer to opengl, or graphcs stuff in general in teh same block as that line | 15:26 |
| EvilRoey | ah | 15:26 |
| James147 | (if there missing kde will assume defauts) | 15:26 |
| James147 | (or should, backup the file as well :) ) | 15:27 |
| EvilRoey | well it did re-build my kwinrc after I moved it out of the way | 15:27 |
| EvilRoey | James147: true | 15:27 |
| EvilRoey | James147: then the question becomes, what prompted kde/kwin to change that GL setting :P | 15:27 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: no clue... one failed check probally stoped it from checking (there is no point in checking again if it has already failed... or at least thats probally what the dev thourght) | 15:28 |
| James147 | EvilRoey: dont know what triped it up in the first palce though :) | 15:29 |
| EvilRoey | heh | 15:30 |
| EvilRoey | well thanks so much for the advice! | 15:30 |
| EvilRoey | it worked! | 15:30 |

| baxeico_ | libqt4-phonon: Depends: libphonon4 (= 4:4.6.3-0ubuntu1) but 4:4.7.0really4.4.2-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1 is to be installed | 15:42 |
| James147 | baxeico_: there where a few packages that where replaced | 15:42 |
| James147 | baxeico_: so it sounds scary, but its because its being replaced by something else :)... or at elast should be | 15:43 |
| James147 | baxeico_: if in doupt reinstall kubuntu-desktop after, that should pull anything you need (although you shouldnt need to) | 15:43 |
| baxeico_ | kubuntu-desktop is a meta-package for a clean kubuntu install? | 15:44 |

| James147 | baxeico_: well, not clean... (it shouldnt remove packages that are already installed but it will install everything needed by kubuntu) | 15:47 |
| James147 | CaptainCanuck: why would you think that? | 15:47 |
| CaptainCanuck | idk, ive never been here before | 15:48 |
| CaptainCanuck | im the only linux user at my university | 15:48 |
| CaptainCanuck | so im bored | 15:49 |
| CaptainCanuck | anyone need help with anything? | 15:49 |
| James147 | CaptainCanuck: well, this channel is for kubuntu support, if you want to chat join #kubuntu-offtopic | 15:49 |
| James147 | CaptainCanuck: generally people will ask questions if they have any :) you dont need to prompt them | 15:50 |
| powerinside | How to adjust refresh rates of two monitors (in a dual screen config) ? | 15:53 |
| CaptainCanuck | What do you see in System>Preferences>Monitors? | 15:53 |
| powerinside | I see only 59.9 Hz.. my LCD 's optimal is 60 Hz | 15:54 |
| powerinside | I get flickers when i type or move the cursor in current config | 15:54 |
| powerinside | I suppose it is due to refresh rate wrongly set as 59.9 automatically | 15:54 |
| CaptainCanuck | A change of 0.1 Hz is hardly noticeable, I think your screen flickers for a differet reason | 15:55 |
| powerinside | Ok so were do I start? | 15:55 |
| powerinside | My gfx is Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2300 | 15:55 |
| v3nd3tta`` | how can i add a refresh rate mnually? it shows 50,0 hz but my monitor says he supports 60 hz as well | 15:56 |
| v3nd3tta`` | but in refreshrate menu there are only 50 and 51 | 15:56 |

| powerinside | Yes cant find | 16:08 |
| CaptainCanuck | o nvm, this is kubuntu | 16:09 |
| powerinside | CaptainCanuck: Sorry, but mine is kubuntu too!? | 16:11 |
| James147 | powerinside: run "jockey-kde" or look for "Hardware Drivers" in the menu (not system settings) | 16:12 |
| powerinside | James147: Thanks, but now it says no propertiary drivers installed. Now how should I proceed | 16:13 |
| James147 | powerinside: does it list availble drivers ? | 16:15 |
| powerinside | Nop | 16:15 |
| powerinside | Should I try jocky-kde in terminal? | 16:16 |
| James147 | powerinside: shouldnt make any difference | 16:16 |
| James147 | powerinside: well, you could maunally install them via apt-get, aptitude or kpackagekit, but I dont know what the ati ones are called :( | 16:16 |
| powerinside | Will any general ATI driver for linux work? Or should I hunt down thats specific to my mobility radeon | 16:18 |
| realburb | hi, I have a fileserver (smb) and connected to it using dolphin, I can pull files (mp3) from the server to my local disk and play the files, but when I try to open them on the server, I get errors, what is going wrong here? | 16:19 |
| James147 | powerinside: normally drivers cover a wide range of cards (ie the ndivia-current ones cover mostly all nvidia cards) | 16:19 |
| EagleScreen_ | realburb: and you open them with? | 16:20 |
| realburb | vlc | 16:20 |
| powerinside | I am pretty much sure my card wasnt listed in supported lists when I read the release note of the latest ATI drivers for linux on ATI's site.. will it be harmful if i try to install it? | 16:20 |
| EagleScreen_ | vlc may not support samba protocol | 16:20 |
| James147 | powerinside: wont be permintly harmful, but trying to load the wrong drivers can cause X not to start (you will get a command ling prompt) you can always loginto that and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get X working again | 16:22 |
| realburb | well, shouldnt kio make network shares look like local filesystems? | 16:22 |
| EagleScreen_ | realburb: may be it should | 16:22 |
| powerinside | James147: Ok thanks for all the tips.. Im going to risk and try the propertiery drivers | 16:24 |
| James147 | realburb: dose it work with other placers (vlc isnt kde so probally wont use the kio) | 16:24 |
| James147 | players ^^ | 16:24 |
| realburb | amarok doesnt work either | 16:24 |

| === krawek is now known as Guest15880 | ||
| TSK | cato37: First thing to try is try running it from a terminal and see if it spits out any kinda error message which might help you discover why it's not running. | 20:30 |
| cato37 | TSK: thanx. i uninstalled it, and am reinstalling it in apt-get with the -b command, like with freecol. it is taking a long time though | 20:31 |
| cato37 | it is in a repeating cycle. how do i stop it? | 20:34 |
| cato37 | TSK: how do i run it in the terminal? | 20:37 |
| cato37 | i typed amule in the terminal and got: There is an instance of aMule already running | 20:40 |
| cato37 | TSK: i typed amule in the terminal and got: There is an instance of aMule already running | 20:40 |
| TSK | Hmmm. | 20:41 |
| TSK | Afraid I dunno anything about aMule, but perhaps you could try "killall amule" then try running it? | 20:42 |
| TSK | "ps -A | grep amule" after the killall would tell you if it's really dead or not. | 20:42 |
| cato37 | killall amule gives: no process | 20:45 |
| Peace- | cato37: pkill amu THEN PRESS TAB | 20:46 |
| cato37 | ps grep amule didnt do anything | 20:46 |

| MarkSS | KDE is very hard to navigate | 21:10 |
| MarkSS | I need help | 21:10 |
| MarkSS | Does Kubuntu not have a Software Center? Where the heck is it? How do I find and install new software packages? I cannnot find any at all and I've looked like everywhere. | 21:11 |
| zongo_ | Hey Guys, just installed Kubuntu and rebooted. Cant use root in a shell anymore. Authentication failure. I had just used it. Any idea ? | 21:14 |
| TSK | MarkSS: Menu > System > KPackageKit is one possible software center. | 21:15 |
| MarkSS | TSK: That just keeps returning nothing when I type any programs I know | 21:15 |
| MarkSS | It appears to be very disorganized as well. Hard to really see anything. Long lists | 21:16 |
| zongo_ | I think I found out why (may be:) cant open the KDE wallet thingy | 21:16 |
| zongo_ | I suppose that stops me from accessing root privileges ? | 21:17 |
| TSK | MarkSS: Personally I prefer "Synaptic" package manager. | 21:17 |
| MarkSS | Yes, I can't even find that | 21:17 |
| TSK | zongo_: sudo command doesn't work? | 21:17 |
| MarkSS | I think KPackageKit is horrible and terribly confusing. Can't even get anything outta it | 21:17 |
| TSK | MarkSS: It isn't installed by default. "sudo apt-get install synaptic" at a commandline will install it though. | 21:18 |
| MarkSS | Why isn't this KPackageKit not working? | 21:18 |
| TSK | I personally find it easier to use than KPackageKit. | 21:18 |
| MarkSS | I got the updates, but can't find anything else | 21:18 |
| zongo_ | TSK: nope wont let me use root anymore | 21:18 |
| MarkSS | Isn't there a Kubuntu Software Center? | 21:19 |
| zongo_ | the weirdest is that i was using it 5 minutes ago | 21:19 |
| zongo_ | the kde wallet can't open either | 21:19 |
| zongo_ | with the password that I used before 5 minutes :) | 21:19 |
| zongo_ | I knew I was not alone :) | 21:19 |
| TSK | MarkSS: KPackageKit IS the Kubuntu version of "Software Center" as far as I know, but I'm no big fan of it at all. I much prefer Synaptic. :) | 21:20 |
| zongo_ | can I just delete the kde wallet and I suppose start a new one ? | 21:20 |
| TSK | zongo_: I wish I knew what was wrong. Are you in the sudoers group? | 21:20 |
| TSK | "groups" at a commandline gives you a list of what groups you are a member of. | 21:21 |
| zongo_ | nope, I am not | 21:21 |
| zongo_ | But i was doing is just type su then pass to become root | 21:21 |
| TSK | Are you a member of adm or admin group? | 21:21 |
| zongo_ | that worked | 21:21 |
| TSK | How about "sudo su" and then type YOUR password instead of the root password? | 21:22 |
| TSK | I'm pretty sure the KWallet has nothing to do with the sudo command, although I'm fairly sure KWallet IS used by the "kdesudo" command. | 21:23 |
| zongo_ | TSK: yep I am in admin | 21:24 |
| zongo_ | that is really weird | 21:24 |
| zongo_ | since I logged into my session i did not forget my password :) | 21:25 |
| zongo_ | and I have been drinking tea all night long ..... | 21:25 |
| TSK | zongo_: Try "sudo su" and use YOUR password when it asks for a password (NOT the root password, but the password you use to login to your user account). | 21:26 |
| zongo_ | I connected with root without it asking me for a password | 21:27 |
| TSK | zongo_: That SHOULD get you a root shell if sudo is working as expected. IF that works, then you can use "sudo <any root command>" to run commands as root. | 21:27 |
| TSK | "sudo synaptic" for example will run the synaptic package manager as root (if it's installed of course). | 21:28 |
| zongo_ | thanks TSK for your time. I have another question if I may. I am connected to a display and eveytime i reboot it looses my parameters | 21:28 |
| TSK | If I remember right, the actual root account is technically sorta disabled for security reasons. | 21:28 |
| zongo_ | is it possible to keep my settings alive even after reboot ? | 21:29 |
| TSK | zongo_: Which settings is it losing? | 21:29 |
| zongo_ | the display one | 21:29 |
| TSK | Like screen resolution? | 21:30 |
| zongo_ | scren res on the display and the laptop but also the position | 21:30 |
| isaacch | HOLA | 21:30 |
| zongo_ | and everytime I have to manually reinsert the settings | 21:31 |
| zongo_ | may be an expected behavior ? | 21:31 |
| TSK | zongo_: Hmm... That sounds like a bit more technical problem there. Might have to actually edit the xorg.conf file to fix that one. | 21:31 |
| phoenix_ | how to disable unwanted services like kbluetooth from starting automatically at logon . | 21:32 |
| zongo_ | may be I wait a couple of years that I can come out of the newbie zone :) | 21:33 |

| zongo_ | on another subject, KDE is fantastic compare to gnome | 21:34 |
| TSK | It's been my experience that the longer you use Linux, the less you want to even TOUCH any OTHER operating system. :) | 21:34 |
| TSK | I've always been a big fan of KDE, although I'm still not sure whether I love or hate KDE 4. :) | 21:35 |
| zongo_ | bought this magazine and there was the CD of Ubuntu and on the CD Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu | 21:35 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: commercial games have stated coming for linux | 21:35 |
| zongo_ | I tried all and will for the moment stick with KDE | 21:35 |
| zongo_ | learning my ways around | 21:35 |
| TSK | phoenix_: Aye. Since I started learning various programming languages tho, I've really not been all that interested in playing games anymore. :) | 21:36 |
| phoenix_ | tsk i mean to say that linux is getting popular | 21:36 |
| TSK | Too many Windows games have been too much the "same-old-same-old" over recent years anyhow. :) | 21:36 |
| TSK | phoenix_: Aye. I just hope that popularity leads to more-better hardware support for Linux from more hardware manufacturers. | 21:37 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: that means, corporate support for drivers | 21:37 |
| TSK | phoenix_: That's the thing I've been MOST looking for more'n anything else, is more hardware manufacturers to take Linux as seriously as it deserves. | 21:37 |
| BajK | TSK: I can just confirm that. I always hate it when I have to stick with windows^^ | 21:38 |
| TSK | Up until recently it's been up to the hardworking open source developers to reverse engineer new hardware and create drivers. | 21:38 |
| elmoa | buonasera | 21:38 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: i stared using linux for the past one year and now i am programming using qt, i am writing plugins for kopete | 21:38 |
| zongo_ | I just wish that their would more doc for linux | 21:38 |
| TSK | I haven't "had to" use Windows for anything in over 8 years now, and to be honest, I don't miss Windows one little bit. ;) | 21:38 |
| BajK | phoenix_: Oh, I am too lazy to give KDE programming a try. I‘d love to help programming, but I hate C and so, well, I cannot (: | 21:39 |
| phoenix_ | zongo_: what kind of docs do you want | 21:39 |
| TSK | phoenix_: Only QT programming I've done is in Ruby. Sooner or later I really should take the time to learn some form of C/C++/C# | 21:39 |
| BajK | The first experience with Linux was in 1999 with KDE 1.0 :D Where it had this three-dimensional blue K logo^^ | 21:39 |
| BajK | and we didn't get the tape drive to work | 21:40 |
| zongo_ | phoenix: well for ex, I just run linux kubuntu and stumbled upon ktorrent | 21:40 |
| phoenix_ | BajK: my favourite is BASIC, but for linux there are only two versions, gambas and realbasic. its not yet good enough | 21:40 |
| TSK | Best KDE ever was KDE3.5.11 if what you like is rock solid reliable stable as a brick outhouse. :) | 21:40 |
| zongo_ | looks like a very nice app by half I dont get | 21:40 |
| BajK | phoenix_: Basic? Finally I found someone who shares my opinions :) | 21:40 |
| zongo_ | was googling left right and center but to no avail really | 21:41 |
| TSK | ktorrent is uber. I download ALL my Linux CDs/DVDs on ktorrent. :) | 21:41 |
| BajK | but I'll stick with Lazarus :) Kinda reminds me of visual basic^^ | 21:41 |
| zongo_ | Plus, I was looking for some doc that would explain the basic of linux | 21:41 |
| TSK | BajK: Might also want to look into MonoDevelop if you like VisualBasic. | 21:41 |
| BajK | TSK: I couldn't get used to it, dunno.. | 21:41 |
| phoenix_ | zongo_: try ebooks | 21:41 |
| TSK | zongo_: There's TONS of great docs about Linux and Ubuntu | 21:42 |
| zongo_ | I did that as well | 21:42 |
| BajK | and I can connect to a mysql db which helps me a lot. Currently developing a customer managment system. Because it seems to be an equation, the more expensive a pice of software it the shittier it is to use^^ | 21:42 |
| TSK | One sec. I'll see what I can find to get you started. | 21:42 |
| BajK | best example: EVERY SAP application | 21:42 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: does mono compile the code to native elf format | 21:42 |
| zongo_ | not that easy to stumble a good one that would be at my level | 21:42 |
| BajK | TSK: but I think I'll give monodelop another try | 21:42 |
| zongo_ | but otherwise, a lot of docs as you said | 21:43 |
| TSK | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/free-ubuntu-linux-e-books.html | 21:43 |
| zongo_ | Linux is just not a straight road | 21:43 |
| zongo_ | many ways to do things within the linux realm | 21:43 |
| phoenix_ | BajK: did you try qt | 21:43 |
| TSK | Mono compiles to native CLI (common language infrastructure or somesuch) code which is the same thing that .NET compiles to. | 21:43 |
| zongo_ | TSK: thanks, I did have a look at that website | 21:43 |
| TSK | http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ | 21:44 |
| zongo_ | "Written from the ground-up to cover Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10" says the book | 21:45 |
| BajK | phoenix_: yes and it sucks really bad^^ | 21:45 |
| TSK | http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/05/14/free-ubuntu-ebook/ | 21:45 |
| zongo_ | I have just installed v10.04 | 21:45 |
| phoenix_ | BajK: gambas is good but, it is an interpreter based one | 21:46 |
| BajK | I also have gambas | 21:47 |
| BajK | but I don't like it | 21:47 |
| TSK | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual | 21:47 |
| BajK | it cannot even use the standard file dialogs | 21:47 |
| BajK | and I hate applications that implement their own and so I don't wanna do that | 21:47 |
| TSK | There's the best beginner manual I know of. | 21:47 |
| TSK | http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 21:48 |
| TSK | A more direct link | 21:48 |
| TSK | That should be for 10.04, too. | 21:48 |
| phoenix_ | BajK: have you tried realbasic | 21:50 |
| BajK | nope | 21:50 |
| TSK | zongo_: That last link I posted is probably just the book you are looking for I bet. :) | 21:51 |
| zongo_ | let me have a look :) | 21:51 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: i heard that kde 3.5's performace was better than kde 4.x , what do you say | 21:52 |
| BajK | yes KDE 4 is kinda fat^^ | 21:52 |
| BajK | and I hate plasma :) But anything is better than Windows, eh^^ | 21:52 |
| TSK | Undoubtedly true. KDE3.5.11 was not only rock solid stable, but straight up lightning fast. | 21:52 |
| zongo_ | nice, thanks TSK | 21:53 |
| TSK | KDE4 is getting better, but it looks like it's gonna be well beyond 4.5 before it's even CLOSE to as stable as 3.5 was. | 21:53 |
| TSK | At least it's not cripplingly slow and constant crash anymore tho. | 21:54 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: there is some performance lag of kwin in 4.5, i thing 4.6 will be good | 21:55 |
| TSK | The latest 4.5 in kubuntu repositories is running fairly decent, but honestly, KDE4 series is still buggy as sin compared to my old 3.5.11 box that can run rock solid forEVER. :) | 21:56 |
| TSK | I look forward to the day that the KDE4 series achieves that kinda stability. | 21:57 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: are you still using kde 3.5? | 21:57 |
| TSK | I'm sure it will soon. It's getting pretty close. | 21:57 |
| look | TSK, i do to | 21:58 |
| TSK | phoenix_: I have KDE3.5.11 on another box that still hasn't been upgraded, but on my current workstation I'm using the latest KDE4 in kubuntu. | 21:58 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: tried compiz to get some performance, but it crashes | 22:00 |
| TSK | I used to use compiz-fusion and for a while I used emerald, but now I just use kwin. | 22:01 |
| phoenix_ | what is your kde version | 22:01 |
| TSK | 4.5.1 | 22:01 |
| phoenix_ | the kde windows decorator crashes when i use compiz-fusion, mine is also kde 4.5.1 | 22:03 |
| TSK | I haven't tried any flavor of compiz recently. | 22:03 |
| === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower | ||
| TSK | kwin pretty much does everything I need it to these days as far as eyecandy, and I can easily disable it anytime it gets annoying. :) | 22:04 |
| TSK | (Ctrl-Shift-F12 FTW) | 22:04 |
| TSK | Sorry. That's Shift-Alt-F12 | 22:05 |
| TSK | Shift-Alt-F12 = Toggle compositing effects on/off in kwin. TOO useful. :) | 22:06 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: what do you think about the performance, i feel their is some lag | 22:06 |
| TSK | Compared to KDE3.5, KDE4 is still a bit slower on my current machine, but I suspect on a really up to date graphics card it would just positively FLY. | 22:07 |
| TSK | You CAN adjust the animation speeds in the settings tho. Set to "Instant" it's pretty fast even on my old graphics card. | 22:07 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: i mean to ask the diff between kde 4.4.2 and 4.5 | 22:09 |
| === Grubbolo is now known as vincenzo | ||
| TSK | Ah. Honestly, I think that 4.5 is actually NOTICEABLY quicker than any prior 4.x series version on my hardware. 4.4 series and before were visibly laggy. | 22:10 |
| TSK | 4.2 was cripplingly slow, and 4.1 was not only slow, but so crashy as to be entirely unusable. | 22:11 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: how do you set emerald as default for compiz-fusion | 22:12 |
| TSK | I think maybe by KDE5 I might be AS happy as I was with KDE3.5. ;) | 22:12 |
| TSK | phoenix_: compiz-fusion is the Emerald project merged back into the Compiz project. | 22:13 |
| phoenix_ | oh, then how do i change the default windows decorator | 22:14 |
| TSK | It's been a long time since I used any flavor of Compiz, but I used to control that with the fusion-tray icon or somesuch. | 22:15 |
| TSK | Looks like fusion-icon is still available in the Ubuntu repositories. | 22:16 |
| TSK | Pretty sure that's the tool I used to use. | 22:16 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: i think i installed compiz instead of compiz fusion | 22:19 |
| TSK | fusion is the better choice. All the goodness of Emerald PLUS all the goodness of Compiz. :) | 22:20 |
| phoenix_ | ya, i heard emerald is stable | 22:21 |
| TSK | It used to be more stable than Compiz, before the projects merged back together into compiz-fusion. | 22:22 |
| phoenix_ | oh | 22:23 |
| weximus | #home | 22:25 |
| TSK | Welcome home? | 22:25 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: system crashed when i used compiz | 22:31 |
| TSK | :( | 22:31 |
| TSK | Regular compiz or fusion? | 22:31 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: i have to use kwin now | 22:31 |
| === capncanuck is now known as CaptainCanuck | ||
| TSK | phoenix_: Looks like there is a compiz-kde package in the repositories which might be better suited to use with KDE? | 22:34 |
| glaucous | I installed a NVIDIA card (from ATI), and now all fonts are smaller. Is there a quick fix to this, except editing all Font sizes? | 22:34 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: i tried that first, but it too crashes | 22:34 |
| TSK | Brutal. :( | 22:35 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: ya | 22:35 |
| TSK | I guess we are stuck with kwin for now. | 22:35 |
| phoenix_ | TSK: :) | 22:36 |
| glaucous | Now I just came here, but what's the problem with kwin? | 22:40 |
| TSK | No problem that I know of. A couple of us were just feeling nostalgic about Compiz and trying to see if it still works with KDE. Apparently it doesn't anymore. :) | 22:41 |
| glaucous | Oh, I see | 22:41 |

| Taha_ | FloodBotK2: I'm not flooding. :( | 22:50 |

| Taha_ | Also, FloodBotK2, speaking of punctuation, those commas should be semicolons! | 22:51 |
| Taha_ | Anyone? | 22:51 |
| Taha_ | administrator_: You sound like you're willing to help :D | 22:51 |
| chuckf | Taha_: you won't install xchat until you at least try | 22:53 |
| Taha_ | chuckf: I tried to, but it gives me an error | 22:53 |
| Taha_ | I can't copy & paste the error | 22:53 |
| chuckf | then I can't help | 22:53 |
| chuckf | maybe try quassel | 22:54 |
| Taha_ | Quassel, eh? | 22:55 |
| Taha_ | Is that an image screenshotting utiltity? | 22:55 |
| TSK | Quassel is actually pretty slick. I'm using it right now. | 22:55 |
| Taha_ | Oh | 22:55 |
| Taha_ | It's an IRC client | 22:55 |
| TSK | It's an IRC client similar to XChat | 22:55 |
| chuckf | quassel is a different irc chat client | 22:55 |
| Taha_ | Ugh | 22:56 |
| Taha_ | It also won't install | 22:56 |
| Taha_ | How do I take a screenshot? | 22:56 |
| Taha_ | And update it to imageshack? | 22:56 |
| Taha_ | Well | 22:56 |
| Taha_ | I know how to update | 22:56 |
| FloodBotK2 | Taha_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:56 |
| Taha_ | Oh wait | 22:56 |
