| afink | hey guys I am trying to install a .bin file I know it should just be ./install.bin....I already made it executable. but I get directory not found. any ideas? | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| e_t_ | afink: try "sh install.bin" | 00:12 |
| afink | oh yeah...duh. weird...got Syntax error: "(" unexpected | 00:14 |
| maco | sounds like a bug in the .bin but... maybe are you sure it should be sh? | 00:14 |
| maco | sh is dash on ubuntu | 00:14 |
| maco | try with bash | 00:14 |
| afink | must be a bug | 00:15 |
| e_t_ | Does the error specify a line number? If so, you may be able to open the file in your favorite editor and correct it. | 00:17 |
| afink | no I wish it did | 00:17 |
| afink | its sugarcrm | 00:17 |
| afink | its binary so I don't think I can | 00:18 |
| e_t_ | You're downloading the Fastrack version? | 00:19 |
| afink | ya needed a test in a hurry | 00:23 |
| afink | I was trying to get something setup for a meeting tomorrow morning | 00:23 |

| OptiplexGX620 | I did something really dumb... I deleted my current window list at the bottom panel; so when I minimize a windows I can't get it back | 00:39 |
| OptiplexGX620 | How do I get the widget or whatever it is back? | 00:39 |
| e_t_ | Alt+tab should still show the windows. Also, the taskbar is just a Plasma widget that you should be able to add back to the panel. | 00:40 |
| OptiplexGX620 | Yeah, it's a wdget called Task Manager | 00:41 |
| OptiplexGX620 | *Widget | 00:41 |
| OptiplexGX620 | nvm | 00:41 |

| e_t_ | dk12548: you can install the package "ubuntu-default-settings", which should change the boot splash, login screen, and default window manager. | 00:59 |
| dk12548 | ohh kkk e_t_ i am trying and will give you response in a while | 01:00 |
| dk12548 | e_t_: i am not able to install that pls tell me how can i install it | 01:05 |
| e_t_ | Do you know how to open a terminal window? | 01:06 |
| dk12548 | yes i know that | 01:06 |
| e_t_ | OK. Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-default-settings" | 01:07 |
| e_t_ | It will ask for your password. | 01:07 |
| dk12548 | E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-default-settings | 01:08 |
| dk12548 | it is giving this error | 01:08 |
| e_t_ | Hmm. Try "sudo apt-get update". | 01:09 |

| dk12548 | its saying to hit some email addresses | 01:10 |
| dk12548 | yes | 01:11 |
| e_t_ | Try the first command again. | 01:12 |
| dk12548 | same error e_t_ | 01:12 |
| dk12548 | unable to find the package.:( | 01:13 |
| dk12548 | cant i restore the whole thing back | 01:13 |
| dk12548 | ?/ | 01:14 |
| e_t_ | What do you mean restore the whole thing? | 01:14 |
| dk12548 | i mean when i was on windows and something gone bad then i used to restore my whole computer to previous times | 01:16 |
| dk12548 | as if it was in that time. | 01:16 |
| dk12548 | its called time machine in mac | 01:16 |
| e_t_ | Well, you *can* do that, but there's no need, not for this. | 01:16 |
| dk12548 | ohhhhhhhh really, actually my logon screen is not displayed | 01:17 |
| dk12548 | ? | 01:17 |
| e_t_ | We'll try something different. Type "cd /etc/X11" | 01:17 |
| dk12548 | ok then | 01:17 |
| e_t_ | Now "cat default-display-manager" and tell me what it says. | 01:18 |
| dk12548 | /usr/sbin/gdm | 01:19 |
| e_t_ | OK. That's regular Ubuntu's display manager. When you start the computer, does it come up to a login screen or just to a terminal login? | 01:21 |
| dk12548 | niether of them bro. when i start my pc kubuntu comes. | 01:21 |
| dk12548 | no logon screen is displayed | 01:21 |
| dk12548 | it used to display the logon screen for some days | 01:22 |
| e_t_ | Do you have auto-login enabled? | 01:22 |
| dk12548 | i dont know that | 01:22 |
| dk12548 | please tell me brother | 01:22 |
| e_t_ | Let's check. Open System Settings and find the Login Screen option. It will be in the advanced tab if you're using <KDE 4.5.0. | 01:24 |
| EagleScreen_ | so.. do you want to convert all to Kubuntu? | 01:26 |
| EagleScreen_ | what is the problem? | 01:26 |
| dk12548 | i opened system settings but there is no login screen option in that | 01:28 |
| e_t_ | Did you look for an advanced tab? | 01:29 |
| dk12548 | yes | 01:29 |
| dk12548 | EagleScreen_: i am not able to see the logon screen | 01:29 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: what are you trying to do? | 01:29 |
| EagleScreen_ | ok | 01:29 |
| EagleScreen_ | what happens when you close your session? | 01:30 |
| dk12548 | it turns off my display, but my cpu is not turned off | 01:30 |
| dk12548 | e_t_: hey it shows an option of login manager | 01:31 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: be sure you have got kdm installed | 01:31 |
| dk12548 | what is kdm? | 01:31 |
| EagleScreen_ | KDE Display Manager | 01:31 |
| EagleScreen_ | you are using gdm (the Gnome one) right now | 01:31 |
| e_t_ | Login manager might be it. | 01:31 |
| dk12548 | i am in kdm | 01:31 |
| EagleScreen_ | sure? | 01:31 |
| EagleScreen_ | default.display-manager says /usr/sbin/gdm | 01:32 |
| dk12548 | yes | 01:32 |
| EagleScreen_ | run sudo aptitude install kdm | 01:32 |
| dk12548 | ok just a moment EagleScreen_ | 01:32 |
| EagleScreen_ | if it is already installed, run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, and select kdm instead of gdm as default | 01:33 |
| dk12548 | k its done EagleScreen_ | 01:33 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: are you in lucid? | 01:33 |
| dk12548 | yes EagleScreen_ | 01:33 |
| EagleScreen_ | which graphics crad? | 01:34 |
| EagleScreen_ | card? | 01:34 |
| dk12548 | nvdia 8400 gs | 01:34 |
| dk12548 | but EagleScreen_ my problem is that i am not able to see the logon screen | 01:35 |
| EagleScreen_ | your X seerver may be crashing when you go to KDM | 01:35 |
| dk12548 | i used to see it till two days before | 01:35 |
| EagleScreen_ | and what did you do? | 01:36 |
| EagleScreen_ | what did you chnage? | 01:36 |
| dk12548 | i dont remember just installed compiz | 01:36 |
| EagleScreen_ | compiz in KDE? | 01:36 |
| EagleScreen_ | that is absurd | 01:36 |
| dk12548 | no actually i installed it in gde | 01:36 |
| EagleScreen_ | in Gnome | 01:37 |
| dk12548 | ya | 01:37 |
| EagleScreen_ | and two days before you saw KDM property? | 01:37 |
| dk12548 | but i configed it in kde | 01:37 |
| dk12548 | no i didnt know about it till today | 01:37 |
| EagleScreen_ | use compiz in KDE is a bad idea | 01:38 |
| dk12548 | oh so what can i do now? i have made changes in compiz while i was on kde | 01:38 |
| dk12548 | like i checked the cube option etc | 01:38 |
| EagleScreen_ | KDE has it own effects | 01:39 |
| dk12548 | cant i restore it EagleScreen_ | 01:39 |
| EagleScreen_ | may be | 01:39 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: have you disabled auto-login yet? | 01:40 |
| dk12548 | no, i dont know how to do that :( EagleScreen_ | 01:40 |
| Tejyasn | that's the kubuntu room I remember. | 01:41 |
| dk12548 | tell me EagleScreen_ how can i disable auto login? | 01:41 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: Systemsettings -> Advanced -> Login Screen | 01:41 |
| dk12548 | its nothing called login screen here | 01:42 |
| dk12548 | there is a login manager | 01:42 |
| dk12548 | should i open it? | 01:42 |
| EagleScreen_ | ofcourse open what I said | 01:43 |
| Tejyasn | So, Something happened to my box this last update. The whole system is nothing but garbage apparently. On Startup, BIOS loads, then I get the briefest flash of the KUBUNTU blues and then am shunted to "ash" which tells me that no init was found, try passing init=bootarg. | 01:43 |
| EagleScreen_ | Tejyasn: it may be a kernel update, did you try another old kernel? | 01:43 |
| dk12548 | but its not there | 01:43 |
| Tejyasn | I cannot get past the "no init found" | 01:44 |
| EagleScreen_ | there isnt Login Screen icon? | 01:44 |
| Tejyasn | nope | 01:44 |
| dk12548 | nope | 01:44 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: let me check | 01:44 |
| e_t_ | Open the login manager, just to see. | 01:44 |
| dk12548 | ok e_t_ | 01:44 |
| dk12548 | i have opened it | 01:45 |
| dk12548 | now? | 01:45 |
| Tejyasn | @EagleScreen_ I have tried both Ubuntu and Kubuntu Live-CD and neither of them can either run from CD or Install, I keep getting error messages | 01:45 |
| e_t_ | Do you see a tab titled Convenience? | 01:45 |
| dk12548 | yes e_t_ | 01:45 |
| e_t_ | Click on that. | 01:45 |
| dk12548 | i have done that | 01:46 |
| EagleScreen_ | oh you already were on it! | 01:46 |
| dk12548 | but enable auto login check box is not ticked | 01:46 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: so you are using gdm istead of kdm? | 01:47 |
| dk12548 | no i am on kdm right not | 01:47 |
| Tejyasn | While I believe I can install windows, then re-install Kubuntu, I would like to save as much of the HDD contents as possible, and windows wants to format. | 01:47 |
| dk12548 | tell me something, if autologon is not enabled then where is the problem. why i am not able to see the logon screen | 01:49 |
| EagleScreen_ | because you ahve autologin enabled in gdm and you are uding gdm istead of kdm | 01:49 |
| === liveuser is now known as Daskreech | ||
| dk12548 | so how can i cure it EagleScreen_ | 01:50 |
| illunatic | why does asound.state reset it's configuration when i reboot? | 01:51 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: What's the situation? | 01:52 |
| dk12548 | any help? | 01:52 |
| Daskreech | With? | 01:53 |
| Ertain | Hello everyone. I'm wondering how I can set an audio visualizer as my desktop wallpaper. Has anyone heard of that or knows how to do it? | 01:53 |
| Tejyasn | heya Daskreech. I did some patching, according to kpac, just some security updates, and now I can't even boot Kubuntu. I just get an error message of "no init found. Try passing init=bootarg" | 01:53 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: you must change it in the gdm preferences | 01:54 |
| dk12548 | and how can i do that even when i cant login in gdm? | 01:54 |
| Daskreech | Ertain: if it's an app just run it as the root window | 01:54 |
| Tejyasn | I have tried a live CD of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu, and neither of them can either install fresh or run from CD, both options give me the same error about skipping a certain file set (I can reboot the box and transcribe if asked) | 01:55 |
| dk12548 | EagleScreen_: cant i restore my system back to my privios times? | 01:55 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: the easiest way is to change your default display manager to KDM | 01:55 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: can You get to bustbox? | 01:55 |
| Tejyasn | yes, I am there | 01:55 |
| Tejyasn | gah this applet doesn't tab | 01:55 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: time machine is not available in Ubuntu, sorry | 01:55 |
| dk12548 | ohhhhhhhhh and how can i do that EagleScreen_ | 01:55 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: oh first of all You get the grub menu? | 01:55 |
| dk12548 | oh no :( | 01:56 |
| Daskreech | can You get to the grub menu? | 01:56 |
| MarkSS | I often a window or dialog box up against the top edge of the screen and it will automatically sometimes make it take up the full screen. How do I disable this feature? | 01:56 |
| Tejyasn | one sec, let me start her up so I can follow along. I'm not fantastically savy with the software side of things | 01:56 |
| dk12548 | i am a windows geek. but lower than a noob in linux:(( | 01:57 |
| Tejyasn | ok, Daskreech, what is the grub? | 01:57 |
| dk12548 | grand unified bootloader | 01:58 |
| dk12548 | its a kind of boot manager Tejyasn | 01:58 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: When you are starting up you get a message saying press Esc to see Grub menu | 01:58 |
| Daskreech | very early in teh boot. Right after POST | 01:58 |
| Daskreech | can You press Esc at that point? | 01:58 |
| Tejyasn | umm.. no I don't | 01:58 |
| Daskreech | You should get a list of options | 01:59 |
| Daskreech | What do you see after post? | 01:59 |
| Ertain | How do I do that, Daskreech? Is it related to the krunner? | 01:59 |
| dk12548 | so cant i repair the whole thing? | 01:59 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, I go from BIOS load to a brief flash of the kubuntu load screen, then STRAIGHT to "No init found." | 01:59 |
| dk12548 | i have a dual boot. i dont want to remove the whole c drive of mine | 02:00 |
| Daskreech | Ertain: no the background is a "layer" in X. Esentially a program. You can replace it with any program you like | 02:00 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: press Esc on the brief Kubuntu Load screen | 02:00 |
| e_t_ | Daskreech, with GRUB2, it's the shift key, not Esc. (I think) | 02:00 |
| Daskreech | e_t_: thanks | 02:00 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: or esc | 02:00 |
| Daskreech | I mean shift | 02:00 |
| Ertain | Daskreech: Do you know how I might do that? Or what the "program" might be? | 02:00 |
| Tejyasn | what I see now is....BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) etc | 02:01 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, that is like trying to time a button press to lightning.. | 02:01 |
| Daskreech | Ertain: I don't know if you have a "program" You said that you wanted an audio analyzer as your background. If that audio analysis is a program that you hacen run ten yes you can | 02:01 |
| Tejyasn | it is literally THAT fast | 02:01 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: open a terminal | 02:02 |
| dk12548 | ok. i opened it | 02:02 |
| Ertain | Well, it's more like an audio visualizer. | 02:02 |
| EagleScreen_ | run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 02:02 |
| Ertain | I'm using kde4, btw. | 02:02 |
| EagleScreen_ | choose kdm | 02:02 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: :0 Ok | 02:02 |
| EagleScreen_ | and reboot | 02:02 |
| Tejyasn | HAH! | 02:02 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: can You type ls /dev/sd* | 02:02 |
| Daskreech | do you get a response? | 02:02 |
| Tejyasn | I got the GRUB | 02:03 |
| dk12548 | ok i have done that | 02:03 |
| Ertain | What I need to do is pipe or move that visualization into the wallpaper/background... thingy. | 02:03 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: ok great :) is there a menu of options? | 02:03 |
| dk12548 | ok EagleScreen_ i will come back in a while | 02:03 |
| dk12548 | after rebooting | 02:03 |
| dk12548 | but one more problem | 02:03 |
| Daskreech | Ertain: how are you getting the visulalization? | 02:03 |
| Ertain | Hmm... | 02:03 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, yes there is, I am guessing a recovery mode one? | 02:03 |
| dk12548 | i dont get any option of rebooting | 02:03 |
| Ertain | I think in Audacious. Though that's just a plugin. | 02:04 |
| dk12548 | how can i reboot from cli | 02:04 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: no that takes you to busybox | 02:04 |
| Tejyasn | oh | 02:04 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: how many options do you have? | 02:04 |
| Ertain | There has to be something that can output a song in some window. :-/ | 02:04 |
| Daskreech | Ertain: likely | 02:04 |
| illunatic | if anyone wants to take a crack at it http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3113610.0 | 02:05 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, I have 4 "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.3x-xx-generic" and the corresponding four "recovery mode" options, and two for a memory test | 02:05 |
| EagleScreen_ | Tejyasn: have you tried all of them? | 02:06 |
| Daskreech | Ertain: You can probably ask in #plasma or #kde if you like | 02:06 |
| Tejyasn | EagleScreen_, I am afraid to touch anything at this point | 02:06 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: try the oldest one listed that's not recovery | 02:07 |
| illunatic | Tejyasn: don't be afraid. i had to reinstall 4 times yesterday x) | 02:07 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, I'm blaming you if I catch on fire.... | 02:07 |
| EagleScreen_ | this is K/Ubuntu guys! it breaks sometimes! | 02:07 |
| Tejyasn | ok... | 02:07 |
| Daskreech | EagleScreen_: welcome to having a general purpose OS | 02:07 |
| illunatic | and other times it never works in the first place xD | 02:07 |
| Tejyasn | this does not look good | 02:07 |
| Ertain | Can do, Daskreech. | 02:08 |
| Daskreech | illunatic: welcome to Linux in that case :) | 02:08 |
| illunatic | heh | 02:08 |
| EagleScreen_ | thanks Daskreech | 02:08 |
| MarkSS | For desktop background, what is the difference between scaled and scaled & cropped? Which is better? | 02:08 |
| * Ertain joins plasma | 02:08 | |
| dk12548 | hi EagleScreen_, same problem again | 02:08 |
| illunatic | busy today? | 02:08 |
| Daskreech | MarkSS: depends on the wallpaper try both choose the one you like better | 02:08 |
| MarkSS | 1920x1200 on a 1980x1080 monitor | 02:09 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: so dont use any of them | 02:09 |
| dk12548 | no logon screen. one more problem. now on loging me in kde it says that my audio devices are not warking properly | 02:09 |
| dk12548 | but there is no option of that | 02:09 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: a tipicla bug when you dont use kdm | 02:09 |
| dk12548 | what kind of bug? | 02:10 |
| EagleScreen_ | so now i think you have changed from kdm to gdm? this is strange | 02:10 |
| MarkSS | Is there a such thing as Kubuntu Software Center? | 02:10 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: what's happening ? | 02:10 |
| Daskreech | MarkSS: strictly speaking no | 02:10 |
| dk12548 | no i am still on kdm | 02:10 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: kdm and kde are not the same | 02:10 |
| MarkSS | !kdm | 02:10 |
| dk12548 | ohhhhhhhhh, what is kdm?? | 02:10 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, the one with the Billy Mays speak says "/dev/sda1: unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually | 02:11 |
| dk12548 | k desktop environment? | 02:11 |
| EagleScreen_ | KDM = KDE Display Manager; KDE = KDE Desktop Enviroment | 02:11 |
| Tejyasn | then there is a mountall; fsck / [2769] terminated with status 4 | 02:11 |
| EagleScreen_ | KDM launches KDE, Gnome or any other Desktop Enviroment | 02:11 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: oh Ok that's better. your file system got corrupted .. somehow | 02:11 |
| Tejyasn | O_o | 02:11 |
| Daskreech | Oh that's not as good | 02:12 |
| Tejyasn | that happens on linux? I thought that is why I ran away from windows? | 02:12 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: have a live CD ? or USB? | 02:12 |
| dk12548 | ohhhhh but isnt there gdm to lauch gde? EagleScreen_ | 02:12 |
| Tejyasn | ummm.. what about "mountall: Filesystem has errors: /"? | 02:12 |
| Tejyasn | I have tried live CD, it's no help... | 02:12 |
| dk12548 | i mean how can kdm launch gde? | 02:13 |
| Tejyasn | unless you have a trick... | 02:13 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: both: GDM and KDM can launch both: Gnome & KDE | 02:13 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: what does that mean? | 02:13 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: I ma not sure which one are you using right now.. | 02:13 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, I cannot install or run kubuntu from the CD | 02:13 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: uninstall gdm or both of them, kdm and gdm | 02:13 |
| dk12548 | oh, isnt there any command | 02:13 |
| dk12548 | oh ok | 02:14 |
| Tejyasn | I get errorsm one's a glib | 02:14 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: on the CD ? | 02:14 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: sudo aptitude remove gdm | 02:14 |
| Tejyasn | mmhmm | 02:14 |
| EagleScreen_ | and reboot | 02:14 |
| Tejyasn | let me call them up and transcribe... | 02:14 |
| * Daskreech raises eyebrow | 02:14 | |
| dk12548 | k wait a moment i am doing that | 02:14 |
| Tejyasn | Daskreech, want me to try installing or running? | 02:15 |
| Tejyasn | I am on the liveCD | 02:15 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: running | 02:15 |
| Tejyasn | Runni ng it is | 02:15 |
| Daskreech | wait | 02:15 |
| Tejyasn | waiting | 02:15 |
| Daskreech | press F6 | 02:15 |
| Tejyasn | pressed, I have options | 02:15 |
| Daskreech | You should get a long list of things at the bottom of the screen | 02:16 |
| Daskreech | that ends with a -- | 02:16 |
| Daskreech | You can use the left/right arrows and traverse it | 02:16 |
| Tejyasn | VERY long | 02:16 |
| Daskreech | right | 02:16 |
| Daskreech | ok at the end BEFORE the -- put the word single | 02:16 |
| Daskreech | then run the live CD | 02:17 |
| Tejyasn | after splash? | 02:17 |
| Daskreech | Right | 02:17 |
| Tejyasn | so single -- ? | 02:17 |
| Daskreech | right | 02:17 |
| Tejyasn | ok... running | 02:17 |
| * Daskreech waits anxiously | 02:18 | |
| Tejyasn | ok.. lets try his again, making sure "single" is written in. | 02:18 |
| Daskreech | No what happened? | 02:18 |
| elijah | How does KDESudo differ from sudo | 02:18 |
| elijah | Daskreech: Hia | 02:19 |
| Daskreech | elijah: it's tuned for Gui elements which can touch more files than a command line client will | 02:19 |
| elijah | Daskreech: thx | 02:20 |

| Tejyasn` | umm.. there is only one line "/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5" | 02:25 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: and how do you return to the Desktop? | 02:26 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: Oh the only thing on this computer is Linux? | 02:26 |
| Tejyasn` | mmhmm | 02:26 |
| dk12548 | i restared my computer manually | 02:26 |
| Tejyasn` | I am using another computer to talk to y'all | 02:26 |
| Daskreech | I realise | 02:26 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: next time try Ctrl + Alt + Del | 02:26 |
| Daskreech | but that computer doesn't have windows etc ? | 02:26 |
| Tejyasn` | nope | 02:26 |
| Daskreech | EagleScreen_: I think that's disabled | 02:27 |
| dk12548 | to restant? | 02:27 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: Ok try sudo fsck /dev/sda[15] | 02:27 |
| Tejyasn` | can do | 02:27 |
| Daskreech | actually type in [15] | 02:27 |
| Tejyasn` | fsck [space] /dev? | 02:28 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: space yes | 02:28 |
| dk12548 | EagleScreen_: strl+alt+del for restart? | 02:28 |
| Tejyasn` | ... | 02:28 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: yes, Ctrl + Alt + Del | 02:28 |
| dk12548 | EagleScreen_: ok but what about the problem? | 02:29 |
| dk12548 | i am not able to logout | 02:29 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: I think your X server is crashing when you logout | 02:29 |
| dk12548 | oh what is an X server? | 02:29 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: not sure if compiz or whatever you installed is the cause | 02:29 |
| EagleScreen_ | your X server is the software which allow KDE, Gnome and so to run | 02:30 |
| dk12548 | hmmmm ubuntu people should include time machine :( | 02:30 |
| EagleScreen_ | yes, they should | 02:30 |
| dk12548 | oh ok EagleScreen_ | 02:30 |
| Tejyasn` | Daskreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491345/ | 02:30 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: do you plan to use Gnome again? | 02:30 |
| dk12548 | so what i should do for that | 02:31 |
| dk12548 | yes of course | 02:31 |
| Daskreech | dk12548: Your X server provides you windows and mouse control | 02:31 |
| dk12548 | i want both desktops | 02:31 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: at least try uninstalling compiz | 02:31 |
| Tejyasn` | that does not look healthy | 02:31 |
| dk12548 | ok EagleScreen_ | 02:31 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: no that's fine | 02:31 |
| dk12548 | and how? | 02:31 |
| Tejyasn` | oh... | 02:31 |
| Daskreech | you can't fsck swap | 02:31 |
| Daskreech | so it's telling you that | 02:31 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: sudo apt-get remove compiz-core | 02:31 |
| Tejyasn` | it's not fscked up? | 02:32 |
| Tejyasn` | sorry.... I saw the pun and had to take it | 02:32 |
| Daskreech | ok sudo fsck /dev/sda1 | 02:32 |
| illunatic | ahahaha i fixed my mic | 02:32 |
| illunatic | wasn't plugged in | 02:32 |
| illunatic | jk | 02:32 |
| Daskreech | illunatic: whoooot :) | 02:32 |
| Tejyasn` | sudo-ing | 02:32 |
| illunatic | i had to highlight capture in alamixer and press spacebar tho | 02:32 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: :-) swap is always fscked up It's supposed to be | 02:32 |
| illunatic | that was it. | 02:32 |
| illunatic | ^5 | 02:32 |
| dk12548 | EagleScreen_: ok i have done it. | 02:33 |
| dk12548 | should i try to logout now? | 02:33 |
| EagleScreen_ | dk12548: try rebooting | 02:33 |
| dk12548 | ok | 02:33 |
| EagleScreen_ | and logout | 02:33 |

| elijah | Hey gang, I am relatively new to Kubuntu and am always getting "The application 'KDE Daemon' has requested to open the wallet 'kdewallet'" when I logon for the first time. This thread is my issue http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1268434.html - I installed wicd like it suggested but it doesn't seem to be replacing network manager with itself and I am still getting the password nag. When installing wicd, it did say I needed to | 02:34 |
| Tejyasn` | Daskreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491346/ | 02:35 |
| Tejyasn` | I assume yes? | 02:36 |
| Daskreech | no | 02:37 |
| Daskreech | look at the date | 02:37 |
| Tejyasn` | oh.. | 02:37 |
| Daskreech | it thinksthe day is mar 14 | 02:37 |
| Tejyasn` | ... and it says less than a day? | 02:38 |
| Tejyasn` | so I'll type "n" then | 02:38 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: what's it doing now? | 02:40 |
| Tejyasn` | ok... pasting | 02:40 |
| Tejyasn` | http://paste.ubuntu.com/491348/ | 02:41 |
| Daskreech | Yeah fix that | 02:41 |
| Tejyasn` | Deleted inode 150540 has zero dtime. fix<y>? | 02:42 |
| Tejyasn` | and it fixed three others | 02:43 |
| Daskreech | Yeah | 02:44 |
| * Daskreech brings up having your /home partition away from / at this point | 02:44 | |
| Tejyasn` | we'll get to good houskeeping later XD | 02:44 |
| Tejyasn` | ok, long line of fixes, and then "Inode 408290 has a[n] extra size (46933) which is invalid. Fix<y>?" | 02:46 |
| Tejyasn` | that's me fixing the grammar | 02:46 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: ha ha submit a patch :0 | 02:47 |
| Daskreech | :-) | 02:47 |
| Daskreech | yes fix it | 02:47 |
| Tejyasn` | .... I WOULD submit a patch, just for that too... | 02:47 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: nothing at all stops you from doing that | 02:48 |
| Tejyasn` | 408292 is the same error, fix? | 02:48 |
| Daskreech | Yes | 02:48 |
| Tejyasn` | 408295 has imagic flag set. Clear? | 02:49 |
| Daskreech | ah,, ummm ... ok sure | 02:49 |
| Tejyasn` | O-o | 02:49 |
| Tejyasn` | yes or no here.... | 02:49 |
| Tejyasn` | should I just fix all extra size errors? | 02:50 |
| Daskreech | yes | 02:50 |
| Daskreech | I've not heard of the imagic flag before | 02:51 |
| Tejyasn` | well I got another one for ya. Fixing? | 02:51 |
| Daskreech | but I've more trust in the fsck fixing code acumen than their grammar | 02:51 |
| Tejyasn` | heh | 02:51 |
| Daskreech | yes I'm not sure what it is but I trust they will do the right thing here | 02:51 |
| Tejyasn` | that's a lot of trust | 02:52 |
| Daskreech | there will be a directory named lost+found with the files that were "fixed" when done so you can go back and second guess them later if you like | 02:52 |
| Tejyasn` | 408290 has a bad extended attribute block 188096, Clear? | 02:53 |
| Tejyasn` | oh.. nice... | 02:53 |
| Daskreech | Yeah | 02:53 |
| Daskreech | Yes you can clear it | 02:53 |
| === greyson is now known as kazenin | ||
| Tejyasn` | wow.. this one is full of win... 408290 i_size is 628684438487780, should be 0, Fix? | 02:55 |
| * Tejyasn` fixes with a shrug since you can review them later | 02:56 | |
| Tejyasn` | Daskreech, what about a compression flag on a filesystem without compression support, clear? | 02:58 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: ha ha I know that file | 02:59 |
| Tejyasn` | O_o | 02:59 |
| Daskreech | clear that | 02:59 |
| Tejyasn` | ok | 02:59 |
| Daskreech | your hard drive got messed up | 02:59 |
| Tejyasn` | looks like it... | 03:00 |
| Tejyasn` | also fixing i_size and i_blocks should be 0 errors.. | 03:00 |
| Tejyasn` | and clearing all compression flags, I guess | 03:00 |
| Tejyasn` | ooh.. new one. 408295 has index fl flag but is not a directory, Clear HTree index? | 03:01 |
| Daskreech | yes | 03:02 |
| Daskreech | that would be interesting to play with though :) | 03:02 |
| Tejyasn` | clearing | 03:02 |
| Tejyasn` | how interesting? | 03:02 |
| Daskreech | I'd keep that and play with it but then that doesn't help you at all | 03:02 |
| Tejyasn` | hehehe | 03:02 |
| Tejyasn` | clear all HTree errors? | 03:03 |
| * Tejyasn` got another one... <_< | 03:03 | |
| Daskreech | If it's not a directory yes | 03:03 |
| Tejyasn` | they say it's not so... | 03:03 |
| Tejyasn` | and I found illegal blocks too... | 03:04 |
| Tejyasn` | clearing, I assume | 03:04 |
| Daskreech | You can't do anything with them so yes | 03:04 |
| Tejyasn` | but there are too many illegal blocks, it wants to clear the whole inode... | 03:04 |
| Daskreech | that might mean file loss but at this point you can go with it | 03:05 |
| * Tejyasn` winces | 03:05 | |
| Tejyasn` | there is nothing I can really do about it, is there? | 03:05 |
| Daskreech | It's far more likely it's some system file | 03:05 |
| * Tejyasn` hopes and clears | 03:06 | |
| Daskreech | There is but go with it for now you can rebuild if it's really bad | 03:06 |
| Tejyasn` | what CAN be done, because it just happened again | 03:06 |
| Daskreech | You can try and move the inodes yourself. You really don't have enough of an idea as to how Linux file systems are organized to make that call | 03:07 |
| Tejyasn` | no I do not.. | 03:07 |
| Daskreech | I can assure you that I've only ever had two drastic failures when jsut letting the fsck fix it and both of those the hard drive it self was failing so I can't really blame the file system | 03:08 |
| Daskreech | It did what it could | 03:08 |
| Daskreech | and I've had to fix dozens of servers and hard drives failing | 03:08 |
| Tejyasn` | ... you are failing to inspire me with hope here... | 03:09 |
| Daskreech | If you really didn't want to agonize over it (I've been where you are) you can pass a -y to fsck | 03:09 |
| Daskreech | and it will fix anything that it thinks is fixable and leave anything that it can't | 03:09 |
| Daskreech | then you get a glass of water and reboot | 03:09 |
| Tejyasn` | nice.. | 03:09 |
| Tejyasn` | hey... I got to pass2 | 03:10 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: :-) | 03:11 |
| Daskreech | hopefully this should be easierr | 03:11 |
| Tejyasn` | http://paste.ubuntu.com/491355/ | 03:12 |
| Tejyasn` | the funny thing is, wine had been giving me issues for a while lately, on the updates side.. | 03:12 |
| Tejyasn` | so clearing that, ja? | 03:13 |
| Daskreech | ha ok | 03:13 |
| Daskreech | II've not seen one that specific in a while :) | 03:13 |
| Tejyasn` | a plasma-desktop.tmp file sounds safe? | 03:14 |
| Tejyasn` | it's in /tmp | 03:14 |
| * Tejyasn` just clears unless she feels worried, howabouts? | 03:15 | |
| Tejyasn` | ok.. what if it's in /.ecryptfs ? | 03:16 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: yes | 03:16 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: you can reencrypt as long as you have your password | 03:17 |
| Tejyasn` | ok | 03:17 |
| * Daskreech doesn't like encrypted directories | 03:17 | |
| Tejyasn` | which I should have... | 03:17 |
| Daskreech | You have yours encrypted? | 03:17 |
| Tejyasn` | some... <_< | 03:18 |
| * Tejyasn` is a privacy nut.. even on her own systems | 03:18 | |
| Daskreech | okie :) | 03:19 |
| Daskreech | but then you have to be careful about backups | 03:19 |
| Tejyasn` | ok.. got to pass 3, where we have "unconnected directory inode 408305 (...) I should connect this to the lost+found, ja? | 03:19 |
| Daskreech | You can lock yourself out of your own stuff pretty easy with proper encryption | 03:19 |
| Daskreech | and being open source there is no secret backdoor back in | 03:20 |
| Tejyasn` | already done that many a time XD | 03:20 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: yep | 03:20 |
| Tejyasn` | Block Bitmap differences need to be fixed? | 03:21 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: Ha ha I rely on peole like you | 03:21 |
| Tejyasn` | hehehe | 03:21 |
| Daskreech | sure that shouldn't be an issue of anything | 03:21 |
| Tejyasn` | no you don't... I make multiple hardcopies | 03:21 |
| Daskreech | hmm? | 03:22 |
| Daskreech | that's not what I meant :) | 03:22 |
| Tejyasn` | ok... after a few more bitmap fixes, and some wrong counts... I am back to normal... why do I feel like I just defragged? | 03:23 |
| Tejyasn` | and by normal I mean ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 03:23 |
| Tejyasn` | oh.. you mean on being really good at breaking things? | 03:24 |
| Tejyasn` | ok.. so... | 03:25 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: I meant that we need people who are concious of privacy enough to ensure it's a priority | 03:26 |
| Tejyasn` | ah.. | 03:26 |
| Daskreech | I'm wary about it online but not enough on local machines | 03:26 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: want to do a fire test? | 03:27 |
| Tejyasn` | when in doubt, encrypt, shred, and EMP | 03:27 |
| Tejyasn` | sure.. | 03:27 |
| * Tejyasn` gets a lighter? | 03:27 | |
| Tejyasn` | or am I trying to boot my poor box on HDD? | 03:28 |
| Daskreech | press up and run the command again | 03:28 |
| Tejyasn` | oh.. that | 03:28 |
| Tejyasn` | ... sudo fsck /dev/sda1? | 03:29 |
| Tejyasn` | if I do that I get a warning about sda1 being mounted... a really big textbased warning | 03:30 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: umm | 03:30 |
| Daskreech | cancel | 03:30 |
| Daskreech | type mount | 03:30 |
| Daskreech | type mount | grep sda1 | 03:30 |
| Tejyasn` | I get /dev/sda1 on /media/disk type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodevmuhelper=hal) | 03:32 |
| Tejyasn` | what did I break? | 03:33 |
| === ngthu is now known as EthanDuong | ||
| Daskreech | Tejyasn`: Nothing :) | 03:35 |
| Daskreech | type sudo umount /media/disk | 03:36 |

| Tejyasn | heya, Daskreech.. | 03:38 |
| Daskreech | you can press up to get back the fsck command and run it again | 03:38 |
| Tejyasn | stupid lags and pings.. | 03:38 |

| Tejyasn | stupid n | 03:43 |
| Tejyasn | ok | 03:44 |
| Tejyasn | fsck that fscker? | 03:44 |
| Daskreech | yes | 03:44 |
| Daskreech | Worst named command ever | 03:44 |
| Daskreech | to save one keystroke they made it the most obtusely named command | 03:45 |
| * Tejyasn does her best impersonation of a midget paranormal expert | 03:45 | |
| Tejyasn | This /dev/sda1 is clean | 03:45 |
| Tejyasn | and if anyone gets that reference, you are as big a dweeb as I am.. | 03:45 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: are you running from the police? | 03:46 |
| Tejyasn | no.. I am not a small medium at large | 03:46 |
| Daskreech | curses | 03:46 |
| * Tejyasn smiles | 03:46 | |
| Tejyasn | ok.. so now that she reports as clean.... NOW I can try to boot/salvage her? | 03:47 |
| * Daskreech was going to have fries with that and supersize | 03:47 | |
| Tejyasn | hehehe | 03:47 |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: please do | 03:47 |
| Tejyasn | ok | 03:47 |
| Daskreech | My mother is almost done talking to me so I can go home :) | 03:47 |
| Tejyasn | home is always good | 03:47 |
| Daskreech | uses the same letters on a phone pad too | 03:48 |
| Tejyasn | though I feel that home is where the heart is, and my heart is always over the next horizon,,, | 03:48 |
| Daskreech | ~ is where the <3 is | 03:49 |
| Daskreech | I need that on a shirt | 03:49 |
| Tejyasn | ~/ sweet ~/ ? | 03:49 |
| Tejyasn | so what was I doing there? defragging and drive-cleaning? | 03:50 |
| * Daskreech was going to one up that but | 03:50 | |
| Daskreech | Tejyasn: No fixing inode information for the file system on top of it | 03:50 |
| Tejyasn | oh... | 03:50 |
| Daskreech | Essentially something bad happened | 03:51 |
| Tejyasn | O_O | 03:51 |
| Daskreech | I can explain if you like | 03:51 |
| Tejyasn | I am SO naming my first child after you... if I ever have children.. | 03:51 |
| Tejyasn | or a fish... I cna do a fish | 03:51 |
| Tejyasn | please? | 03:51 |
| Daskreech | Please can you name your fish? | 03:51 |
| Tejyasn | sure.. I'll get another betta and name it "Daskreech, Saviour of my Ass" | 03:52 |
| Daskreech | Yay :-) | 03:52 |
| Tejyasn | so what happened there? feel free to drop it in PM if you want | 03:52 |
| Daskreech | no more people can learn here | 03:53 |
| Tejyasn | bah.. | 03:53 |
| Tejyasn | people learning.. it's like teaching the serfs how to read.. | 03:53 |
| Tejyasn | well. actually.. gimme asec as I am gonna try to see you all from the glory of my revived laptop | 03:54 |
| Daskreech | hooked on fonik | 03:54 |
| Daskreech | You presume a lot :) | 03:54 |
| Tejyasn | yes I do ^_^ | 03:54 |
| nymphaeaceae | ok... I'm here.. closing the other one | 03:55 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: Oh hi it's you :) | 03:56 |
| * Daskreech waves | 03:56 | |
| nymphaeaceae | yeah.. I usually go by Tej on IRC, but.. I decided to have a second name too.... the humble nymphaeaceae | 03:56 |
| Daskreech | ok so in UNIX each actual file is given a unique number called an inode | 03:56 |
| nymphaeaceae | ok | 03:57 |
| Daskreech | when the OS is doing anything it does it on the inode level | 03:57 |
| nymphaeaceae | like SSC | 03:57 |
| Taha__ | Hi everyone | 03:57 |
| Taha__ | I'm having a major problem | 03:57 |
| Daskreech | sort of like when you are doing anything the OS sees you as a UID | 03:57 |
| Daskreech | but you see yourself as say jenny | 03:57 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: hi | 03:57 |
| nymphaeaceae | ok | 03:57 |
| Taha__ | Hi | 03:57 |
| Taha__ | Well, the problem is that fact that when I started up Ubuntu today, | 03:57 |
| Taha__ | All I got was a black screen, greeting me with a request of my user's account & password | 03:58 |
| Taha__ | So I enter my username & password, and it grants access to the commandline | 03:58 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: and you logged in? | 03:58 |
| Taha__ | Yes, successfully | 03:58 |
| Taha__ | I try to use the command: startx | 03:58 |
| Taha__ | But I get an error | 03:58 |
| Taha__ | saying that no screens were found | 03:58 |
| Taha__ | and that there is something wrong with fglrx | 03:58 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: now when you look at files you see a name and a position. that's all irrelevant to the OS | 03:58 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: in fact you can have multiple files with multiple names all be the same file as long as they point at the same inode | 03:59 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: what's wrong with fglrx? | 03:59 |
| Taha__ | Umm, it says something is corrupted I believe | 03:59 |
| nymphaeaceae | ok.... | 03:59 |
| === greyson is now known as Kazenin | ||
| nymphaeaceae | so what I see is a placeholder for what the OS sees. | 04:00 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: right you see a name all the real info is in the inode which ... you can see if you want. | 04:01 |
| Daskreech | try ls -i | 04:01 |
| nymphaeaceae | <_< | 04:01 |
| nymphaeaceae | that sounds scary | 04:01 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: anything more descriptive? | 04:01 |
| Taha__ | Umm, I'm trying to find someone with a similar problem | 04:01 |
| Taha__ | I've found this threadL | 04:01 |
| Taha__ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=7b2a614a14c5b2f1d394f674d049bbcd&t=1566254&page=2 | 04:02 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: It's not as long as you aren't looing at it all the time | 04:02 |
| Taha__ | Very similar to my problem | 04:02 |
| Taha__ | I'm currently reading it | 04:02 |
| FloodBotK2 | Taha__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:02 |
| nymphaeaceae | so those numbers I see next to the entries are the inodes? | 04:02 |
| Taha__ | Daskreech: Is there any way I can uninstall fglrx without accessing Ubuntu's gui? | 04:03 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: certainly | 04:03 |
| Taha__ | Forgive me for my linux-noobiness, but this is my second time installing Ubuntu | 04:03 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: Yes | 04:03 |
| Taha__ | Is it something like: | 04:03 |
| Taha__ | apt-get remove fglrx? | 04:03 |
| Daskreech | hence when fixing it saying inode 40963 has a wrong size | 04:03 |
| Taha__ | sudo apt-get remove fglrx? | 04:03 |
| Daskreech | If you installed it with apt-get then yes | 04:04 |
| Taha__ | How do I know what to write after remove? | 04:04 |
| nymphaeaceae | oh I see... the things I learn from you guys! | 04:04 |
| Taha__ | I believe it's called the package name? | 04:04 |
| Taha__ | How do I list all packages? | 04:04 |
| Taha__ | apt-get list? | 04:04 |
| Taha__ | And if I uninstall fglrx, do you think I'll be able to revert to the system drivers? | 04:04 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: so fsck goes to the inode level then it replays what has happened with the files (there is a note made for all changes to any inode) and compares with what the actual inode says happned | 04:05 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: apt-cache search nvidia | 04:05 |
| Taha__ | Actually, I'm using an ati 5770 | 04:05 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: Yes you will if you uninstall it | 04:05 |
| Daskreech | >_< | 04:05 |
| Taha__ | I'll just replace nvidia with ati | 04:05 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: I can see that not working :) | 04:05 |
| Taha__ | Dang | 04:06 |
| nymphaeaceae | .... that is... stupidly smart! and such a simple command behind it too.. though they should change the command word for it.. | 04:06 |
| Taha__ | I wish I can dump the logs or something | 04:06 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: Why? | 04:06 |
| Daskreech | filesystemcheck is too long | 04:06 |
| Daskreech | fsck is just about right | 04:06 |
| Taha__ | brb. going to restart & attempt again | 04:06 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: Yo ucan dump the logs | 04:06 |
| Taha__ | Does it automatically dump? | 04:07 |
| nymphaeaceae | but fsck.... is... too fscking close to other words XD | 04:07 |
| Taha__ | Or do I manually do it? | 04:07 |
| Daskreech | I don't know which logs are you looking for? | 04:07 |
| Taha__ | Well, the screen logs | 04:07 |
| Taha__ | I get an error in white text on the screen | 04:07 |
| Taha__ | In command | 04:07 |
| Taha__ | Is there any way I can dump that text? | 04:07 |
| nymphaeaceae | but then again, you tend to only think of fscking when your system is fscked.. | 04:07 |
| Taha__ | If it's automatic, then I can just fetch it right now from Windows | 04:07 |
| Taha__ | ok | 04:08 |
| Taha__ | umm | 04:08 |
| Taha__ | brb | 04:08 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: good point | 04:08 |
| Daskreech | nymphaeaceae: who | grep -i blondie | talk; gawk; nice; date; cd ~; wine; talk; grep; touch; unzip; touch; strip; gasp; finger; gasp; mount; fsck; more; yes; fsck; gasp; umount; make clean; make mrproper; sleep | 04:08 |
| Daskreech | Taha__: try /var/log/system.log | 04:08 |
| nymphaeaceae | .... | 04:09 |
| nymphaeaceae | I think I am in love... | 04:09 |
| illunatic | too bad | 04:09 |
| Daskreech | love: command not found | 04:09 |
| illunatic | heh | 04:10 |
| nymphaeaceae | hehehe | 04:10 |
| illunatic | hah that's pretty good | 04:10 |
| nymphaeaceae | well.. I promise to name my next fish after you, Daskreech... *hugs warmly* | 04:10 |
| * Daskreech hugs nymphaeaceae | 04:11 | |
| illunatic | haha | 04:11 |
| Daskreech | bettas kinda look like me too | 04:11 |
| Daskreech | largely flamboyant | 04:11 |
| nymphaeaceae | hehehe | 04:11 |
| nymphaeaceae | thanks for the help... and... wel.. | 04:11 |
| Daskreech | the fscking ? | 04:11 |
| Daskreech | well the fscking lesson | 04:12 |
| Daskreech | I kinda just was there during the fscking | 04:12 |
| nymphaeaceae | I hope I never have to see you here again, but if I have to be here... I wouldn't have anyone help with fscking other than you | 04:12 |
| Daskreech | \o/ | 04:12 |
| Daskreech | yes;yes;yes | 04:12 |
| nymphaeaceae | hehehe | 04:12 |
| nymphaeaceae | you take care ^_^ | 04:13 |
| Daskreech | You too | 04:13 |
| elijah | Help! I tried adjusting the min/max width of the bottom taskbar panel and now plasma-desktop is unresponsive and i have to force close it thouugh task manager. How can I reset whatever I did back to spec? I can access dolphin and all programs through Krunner. | 04:23 |
| elijah | The right side of the bottom taskbar panel just flickers and I cannot right click it to get to the settings to change it back. | 04:23 |
| Daskreech | elijah: open konsole | 04:23 |
| elijah | A restart did not resolve it | 04:24 |
| elijah | k | 04:24 |
| Daskreech | mkdir plasmabkp | 04:24 |
| elijah | k | 04:25 |
| Daskreech | kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 10 && mv ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* ~/plasmabkp && plasma-desktop | 04:25 |
| elijah | it was already quit | 04:25 |
| elijah | should i start it again? | 04:25 |
| Daskreech | Nope | 04:26 |
| Daskreech | just take off the kquitapp and sleep sections | 04:26 |
| elijah | so just mv and after? | 04:27 |
| elijah | i have files in my backup folder now | 04:29 |
| elijah | Daskreech: Nice! | 04:34 |
| Daskreech | elijah: :) | 04:34 |
| elijah | K, it recreated, thanks soo much! | 04:34 |
| Daskreech | elijah: nice eh? | 04:34 |
| elijah | Daskreech: Beats reinstalling Kubuntu! :) | 04:35 |
| Daskreech | doesn't it? :0 | 04:35 |
| Daskreech | Linux is incredibly resiliant | 04:35 |
| Daskreech | (though a number of times it doesn't beat a reinstall) | 04:35 |
| elijah | Daskreech: Yeah, I can see that | 04:36 |
| elijah | happening | 04:36 |
| elijah | btw, I got close with fsuck last night | 04:37 |
| elijah | It mounted one partition but not the other | 04:38 |
| elijah | maybe tomorrow I will try again | 04:38 |
| elijah | Nite! | 04:38 |
| Daskreech | night | 04:39 |
| dan_l | can anybody think of a program that will let you mess with programs that launch on startup? | 04:50 |
| James147 | dan_l: what are you trying to do? | 05:02 |
| dan_l | james147: get googsystray to run at boot | 05:03 |
| dan_l | I can set it in the programs preferences | 05:03 |
| dan_l | but I think it needs sudo? | 05:03 |
| James147 | dan_l: then system settings > advanced > autostart (for kde 4.4) | 05:04 |
| dan_l | I tried it. Googsystray just crashes on startup | 05:04 |
| James147 | dan_l: does it launch manually? | 05:04 |
| dan_l | yup | 05:05 |
| dan_l | I just launched it now | 05:05 |
| dan_l | manually | 05:05 |
| dan_l | but on start up | 05:05 |
| dan_l | it just throws an error message | 05:06 |
| FloodBotK2 | dan_l: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:06 |
| James147 | (as a user? (ie not as root?) | 05:06 |
| dan_l | As a user. I just run it from cri | 05:06 |
| James147 | hmm | 05:06 |
| dan_l | errr----you know. the launcher thingamabob keystroke thingy | 05:06 |
| James147 | what error does it give? | 05:06 |
| dan_l | You know, I'm not sure? It's a massive window. It won't fit on the single monitor. | 05:08 |
| dan_l | it points to a couple of files and says bad permissions. It points to the actual googsystray file too | 05:08 |
| James147 | hmm, how did you install it? | 05:11 |
| elijah | Is there a way to bind super + my function sleep (f5) key to sleep the computer? | 05:18 |
| elijah | super + f5 = sleep | 05:18 |
| elijah | easily? | 05:18 |
| dan_l | james147: it's not in the installer. I downloaded and followed the instructions. | 05:19 |
| dan_l | Elijah: try your keystroke launcher and type 'sleep' | 05:20 |
| James147 | dan_l: downloaded from where? | 05:22 |
| dan_l | james147: sourceforge (http://googsystray.sourceforge.net/) | 05:22 |
| James147 | dan_l: not sure why it wont auto launch sorry, | 05:36 |
| dan_l | james147: quite all right. I appreciate it. | 05:38 |
| dan_l | I really think it's a permissions issue | 05:38 |
| James147 | dan_l: most likly :) but I am to tired to figure out what it wonts :)... if your just intrested in the gmail part you could try the gmail widget (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/gmail-plasmoid?content=101229) | 05:40 |
| dan_l | NOOOOO I NEED MY GCALS AND GVOICE AND GREAD AND GDOCS | 05:42 |
| dan_l | I'm totally google addicted. If kontact would play nice w/ everything but voice, I could deal with it | 05:43 |
| James147 | dan_l: what version of kde are you using? | 05:43 |
| dan_l | errr---the one that comes stock w/ 10.04. is that 4p4? | 05:44 |
| James147 | 4.4.2 is the default | 05:44 |
| dan_l | that's it then. I just installed this the other day. | 05:44 |
| James147 | dan_l: hmm, last I tryed I managed to get contacts working with akonadi... | 05:45 |
| dan_l | It worked pretty well? | 05:45 |
| dan_l | I had all sorts of problems with mails being read and unread | 05:45 |
| James147 | i got a list of contacts up :) didnt really try much else though (dont use the PIM stuff yet) | 05:45 |
| James147 | dan_l: :S | 05:46 |
| tweakedeh | hello, hello, is there anyway I can change the icons in the system tray? | 05:46 |
| James147 | havnt tryed syncing gmail yet, | 05:46 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: what kde version?# | 05:46 |
| dan_l | james147: maybe I'll try it this weekend and let you know what I find. | 05:46 |
| tweakedeh | James147: im on kde 10.4 | 05:47 |
| James147 | dan_l: note that upgrading to 4.5.1 might help | 05:47 |
| dan_l | that sounds scary. | 05:47 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: heh, i am only on kde 4.5 :) , you mean kubuntu 10.04? | 05:47 |
| dan_l | Did I mention this was the worst linux install I had since gutsy? | 05:48 |
| tweakedeh | James147: lol yes | 05:48 |
| James147 | dan_l: really why? | 05:48 |
| dan_l | I remember my gutsy install. 5 days to solve the broadcom wifi problem. Ironically, just today they open sourced those drivers. | 05:48 |
| tweakedeh | James147: I'm not sure how to tell but I think its 4 | 05:48 |
| dan_l | Err this one went bad due to partitioning. | 05:48 |
| dan_l | Previously, it was just "largest continuous free space". That option is gone. So I had to manually do the parts which had some bad results | 05:49 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: my guess is 4.4 :) ... hmm, they the mono chrome icons? or the default oxygen ones? | 05:49 |
| James147 | dan_l: :S I tend to always to manual partitioning | 05:50 |
| dan_l | James: you are bolder than I. I'm not real computer smart. | 05:50 |
| tweakedeh | James147: default.. but I have PulseAudio Applet in my system tray and it looks like a ? I just want to add my own | 05:50 |
| * James147 cant remember when they started using the monochrome icons for systray :S | 05:50 | |
| dan_l | I mean I'm a strong user. But that paritioning stuff really pushes my buttons. | 05:50 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: ahh... well, most applications get their icons from the icon theme, so you should beable to add it to that to get it to show (although I dont know the naming scheme verywell...) | 05:52 |
| tweakedeh | James147: oh, I see, I'll keep trying, thanks =] | 05:53 |
| dan_l | is there a kde themed databasey program? | 05:54 |
| James147 | dan_l: like microsoft access? | 05:54 |
| dan_l | more like sql community or firebird. | 05:54 |
| dan_l | Access doesn't do it for me (though I have it running in my vbox) | 05:55 |
| dan_l | I'm running dummy data right now, as it were. | 05:55 |
| James147 | dan_l: well, a microsoft alt is in koffice, not sure about the others thoug | 05:55 |
| tweakedeh | koffice work with .docx files? | 05:56 |
| === krawek is now known as Guest41739 | ||
| === Guest41739 is now known as krwk | ||
| dan_l | tweakedeh: I'm not sure on that. I know it will work with OOO | 05:57 |
| dan_l | but koffice is actually pretty nice. Kspread ain't half bad. And I'm a spreadsheet gangster. | 05:57 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: it should do | 05:58 |
| dan_l | I'm like spreadsheet elite | 05:58 |
| * James147 is anoyed at all spreadsheet programs... they all look horrible on a dark theme :( | 05:59 | |
| tweakedeh | James147: well Open Office can read them it's just the format is all messed up. I just thought there might be a easy want to convert it or read it | 05:59 |
| dan_l | James: try changing the sheets color to a grey and dumping the gridlines. You don't need them anyhow. | 05:59 |
| * dan_l runs grey all the time | 06:00 | |
| * dan_l sometimes does white on blue too | 06:00 | |
| James147 | dan_l: think i tryed that.... but I hate setting it up every time I want to use it.... (well, at least I seem to since I dont use it often and seem to randomly delete the configs more often :D ) | 06:01 |
| dan_l | with ooo, kspread, or excel? | 06:01 |
| James147 | dan_l: but at least koffice is consistent... OOo likes to use the window theme for the back ground (dark) with its own choise of font (black).... | 06:02 |
| * James147 dosnt use excel on linux... so no theme problems there as windows cannot have proper themes... | 06:03 | |
| James147 | and I get the color problems with both kspread and oo | 06:03 |
| tweakedeh | Windows, you should be on linux full time =\ | 06:03 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: I use windows for gaming :) otherwise I am on linux | 06:04 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: (^^ which means I dont use excel at all really :) ) | 06:04 |
| tweakedeh | lol, I gave up the games when I start college, way to much homework.. | 06:05 |
| dan_l | I run a windoze vbox for my excel habit:) | 06:05 |
| James147 | I like to play them occasionally :) | 06:05 |
| dan_l | I left the win7 partition up on this machine so I can play the occasional game. The wife let's me play exactly 2 games a year. When work gets less busy, I'll finish splinter cell conviction | 06:06 |
| tweakedeh | vbox is horrable for games, I have a startcraft 2 trial I dont know what to do with. | 06:06 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: thats mostly because vbox dosnt really do 3d (or at lesat very well) | 06:07 |
| tweakedeh | James147, yea, it also doesn't let me install mac os x to try out =[ | 06:08 |
| dan_l | ohhh you can't game on vbox at all | 06:08 |
| dan_l | you'd have a better chance doing it with....uh WINE | 06:09 |
| James147 | dan_l: lies... pacman works wondefully :D | 06:09 |
| tweakedeh | lmao, WINE doesn't work that well either. | 06:09 |
| dan_l | Well it 'works' it just requires you to be uber. | 06:09 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: wine dosnt work too badly, have managed to get portal and left 4 dead[2] working under it quite well | 06:09 |
| James147 | (only minor drop in preformance) | 06:10 |
| tweakedeh | wow, I haven't tried to do much on it, Just generally didn't work for me. | 06:10 |
| James147 | (without doing much but installing it...) | 06:10 |
| tweakedeh | MS office 2007 work on WINE? | 06:10 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: depends on what your trying to isntall... | 06:11 |
| James147 | tweakedeh: I think they got it working.. | 06:11 |
| tweakedeh | James147, Nice, then I can kill the vbox | 06:11 |
| dan_l | ummmm..... | 06:11 |
| dan_l | depends on what you're trying to do:) | 06:11 |
| dan_l | most of your addons won't work that well | 06:12 |
| tweakedeh | lol, I just want to type and save it, maybe the odd print. | 06:12 |
| dan_l | you'll have font problems at some point. | 06:12 |
| dan_l | ohh yeah you'll be fine. | 06:12 |
| tweakedeh | awesome | 06:13 |
| James147 | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12812 at least excel seems to work resonably | 06:14 |
| tweakedeh | all I really need it word, excel should look the same in OOO | 06:15 |
| James147 | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12811 ..not as highly rated, but works | 06:16 |
| * James147 tends to prefure latex over word though :D | 06:16 | |
| * dan_l thinks james147 is a masochist after that. | 06:18 | |
| === chucho is now known as chucho_ | ||
| === chucho_ is now known as chucho | ||
| James147 | dan_l: why so? | 06:18 |
| tweakedeh | wo dll overrides? | 06:18 |
| tweakedeh | Two* | 06:18 |
| dan_l | latex isn't easy. | 06:19 |
| James147 | dan_l: it aint that hard :) just need a reference to look at now and then :) late-suite on vim makes it much easier :D | 06:19 |
| dan_l | I use a text editor to write often | 06:20 |
| James147 | dan_l: and it create much more professional documetns without actually changing the defaukts much | 06:20 |
| James147 | (or at all) | 06:20 |
| dan_l | I don't do much formatting even at my best | 06:22 |
| dan_l | a good table of contents is all | 06:22 |
| James147 | dan_l: \tableofcontents is all i do to get that :D | 06:23 |
| James147 | (well, that and wun pdflatex twice... well vim runs it twice for me altumatically) | 06:23 |

| sobczyk | without any password dialog | 07:23 |
| sobczyk | is there a way to enter username and password to being able to see the folders? | 07:24 |

| AciD | hi | 08:56 |
| AciD | I have one problem that can't seems to be solved by a simple google search : I just can't see thumbnails in dolphin (icon view). I checked the type the thumbnails and set the size of file to 20 mb, that would normally suffice isn't ? still no thumbnails... | 08:58 |
| zegenie | AciD: what file types? | 09:05 |
| AciD | all | 09:05 |
| AciD | even images | 09:05 |
| AciD | even wierder : in icon view, if I have some folders with pictures in them, I just see normal folder icon, but if i hover my mouse over them, I can see the thumbnails on top of the folder icon, in the information pane... | 09:08 |
| AciD | nevermind | 09:21 |

| erupter___ | an1 i tried lunching synaptic for the terminal but it stays in text mode (i believe because i don't have gnome) | 10:57 |
| an1 | just search for it. type "package" in search on application launcher. its in launcher->computer | 10:57 |
| erupter___ | an1 oh this, i've found it but it does not find all the packages that synaptic finds on ubuntu | 10:58 |
| an1 | try downloading synaptic | 10:58 |
| an1 | erupter___: alternatively use filters | 10:59 |
| an1 | filter it to search only for installed packages | 11:00 |

| john00145 | which mail server u r tryin to connect | 12:36 |
| FlashDeluxe | kolab | 12:36 |
| john00145 | deluxe - check settings for ur accounts | 12:40 |
| FlashDeluxe | they are correct | 12:41 |
| john00145 | wat abt ports | 12:41 |
| FlashDeluxe | are open | 12:42 |
| FlashDeluxe | i didn`t change anything | 12:43 |
| FlashDeluxe | and i don`t really know where to search for errors, in /var/log/mail.* there is nothing to find :( | 12:43 |
| FlashDeluxe | arrgh i will explain it better: in the logs i see incoming mails | 12:44 |
| FlashDeluxe | and i see that they are passed | 12:44 |
| FlashDeluxe | but the do not reach the client | 12:44 |
| FlashDeluxe | *they | 12:45 |
| john00145 | i think ur ports are blocked by firewall | 12:45 |
| john00145 | check firewall is not blocking anyports | 12:46 |
| FlashDeluxe | i didn`t change anything in the firewall but i will look it up | 12:49 |
| john00145 | i wud suggest try reinstalling latest version of this app | 12:49 |
| FlashDeluxe | what app do you mean? | 12:50 |
| FlashDeluxe | do you mean a software firewall? i have no software firewall installed on the clients | 12:53 |
| niteye | the network configuration tool doesnt work at all, i fill in my wireless network settings, and even though i select WPA in the settings it says 'insecure' in the list, furthermore there is no button to actually try connecting to it, | 12:54 |
| niteye | and how do i run firefox? whenever i run it, it gives me a button 'install', and i click that and it gives an error saying its already installed, i get no further than this | 13:09 |

| sabgenton | runing from a wubi install | 16:30 |
| Synjunitzu | doesnt Kubuntu normal edition work for netbooks too? im running it on a netbook | 16:30 |
| Badegakk | BluesKaj, The driver they recomend are pretty old drivers compared what is availble on nvidia.com | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | sabgenton, it's the same , just different desktops , if ubuntu works then kubuntu is designed to do so as well | 16:30 |
| sabgenton | eck got kicked | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | Badegakk, yes and the the proprietary drivers may be unstable on lucid, but that's your choice | 16:31 |

| BluesKaj | sabgenton, is there a netbook chat? | 16:33 |
| sabgenton | BluesKaj: did that webpage say someware that the ubuntu netbook edition works with wubi? | 16:33 |
| sabgenton | don't think so | 16:34 |
| sabgenton | the topic of this chanel has netbook in it | 16:34 |
| BluesKaj | sabgenton, do some research on the net , maybe the forums might have something | 16:34 |
| sabgenton | yep | 16:35 |
| sabgenton | just seeing if anybody new | 16:35 |
| sabgenton | mis as well try it | 16:35 |
| BluesKaj | sabgenton, but this isn't a wubi support channel as such | 16:35 |
| sabgenton | but wubi is offically supported | 16:36 |
| sabgenton | thats a hard call | 16:36 |
| erigais | is this a support channel? or just general kubuntu users? | 16:36 |

| illunatic | i recommend an externall HDD to save anything important and being prepared to reinstall when things get fubar and you are jsut at a loss | 17:31 |
| erigais | i might now tho actually | 17:31 |
| erigais | i dont really have nothing important, i just wont be able to replace my windows 7 | 17:31 |

| erigais | -if- i wanted it back | 17:32 |
| illunatic | it should still have a key afaik | 17:32 |
| erigais | windows 7 really pisses me off tho, i really hate it, which is why i installed kubuntu in the first place | 17:32 |
| James147 | erigais: the key should come attached to you computer... | 17:32 |
| BluesKaj | erigais, install it as dualboot | 17:33 |
| illunatic | http://pcsupport.about.com/od/osproductkeys/f/windows-7-serial-key.htm | 17:33 |
| erigais | yeah i got it dualboot atm | 17:33 |
| James147 | (normally on a sticker) | 17:33 |
| erigais | ah yeah, on a sticker on the bottom | 17:33 |
| illunatic | yeah it usually is on the machine. usually in back for desktops i think | 17:33 |
| James147 | or the bottom of laptops | 17:34 |
| illunatic | but if it makes you feel better, i've never installed windows 7 and i'm doing fine :D | 17:34 |
| James147 | (managed to remove his xp one without ripping it off his netbook :D | 17:34 |
| illunatic | sweet mine is still there | 17:35 |
| James147 | ^^ personally I like win 7 better then xp... (and vista), its allot more stable on my computer... well after I removed all the anoying stuff from it that is :) | 17:35 |
| illunatic | crap it's a vista key | 17:35 |
| illunatic | useless | 17:35 |
| erigais | getting everything to work with kubuntu has been really tough, but, to be honest it was also easier then i expected | 17:35 |
| erigais | especially compared to the last version of linux i used... slackware ; ; | 17:35 |
| James147 | :) | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | I'm disappointed in kubuntu support for ati onboard graphics , the last LTS 8.10 had great support for them ...beginning to think it might be a better OS fro this older pc | 17:37 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: yeah, I am suprised at some of the driver choises they made in lucid...the default nvidia ones dont work with some mobile cards | 17:38 |
| James147 | as well ^^ | 17:39 |
| illunatic | i used a cracked version of xp for a couple years | 17:39 |
| illunatic | i actually moved to kubuntu because i wanted something more secure | 17:39 |
| erigais | my ati drivers were really tough to get working in ubuntu, but for some reason in kubuntu it was really easy, they autodetected and installed no problem | 17:40 |
| James147 | I just wanted something that I didnt have to pay stupid amounts to get basic functionality (office, anti virus etc...) | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | James147, the thing that's bothersome to me is that W7 runs great on this pc | 17:41 |
| erigais | i was really scared cuz everywhere i was reading people were talkin about how crap ati was for getting to work | 17:41 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: yeah, but they dont have the restriction of having to pack only opensource stuff on their installer | 17:42 |
| BluesKaj | I upped my RAM to 2G , and that made a significant diff | 17:42 |
| James147 | I am tempted to up my netbook to 2gig as well... (all my other comps have that) | 17:43 |
| illunatic | yeah it took too much time to find and configure pirated software for basic day to day stuff | 17:43 |
| * James147 notes that we should probally more to #kubuntu-offtopic | 17:43 | |
| BluesKaj | yeah ,ms can write proper drivers | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | and ppl pay for that | 17:43 |
| Synjunitzu | anyone know how I can get multimonitor support? | 17:45 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: for what graphics card/driver? | 17:45 |
| Synjunitzu | um not sure. let me check | 17:46 |
| Synjunitzu | lol k ... how do i do dxdiag in kubuntu lol | 17:46 |
| Synjunitzu | .. | 17:46 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: :) run this: "lspci | grep VGA" | 17:47 |
| Synjunitzu | okay | 17:48 |
| Synjunitzu | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 17:48 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: hmm, should be able to configure that one through the system settings | 17:49 |
| Synjunitzu | i tried. | 17:49 |
| Synjunitzu | it gives me this msg | 17:49 |
| Synjunitzu | .. | 17:49 |
| Synjunitzu | This module is only for configuring systems with a single desktop spread across multiple monitors. You do not appear to have this configuration. | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | restricted to vga output , Synjunitzu | 17:50 |
| selor | como usar netcat | 17:50 |
| Synjunitzu | :/ ive got a monitor attached to my netbook. | 17:51 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: not on that page, on the "size and orientation" page | 17:51 |
| Synjunitzu | oh? | 17:51 |
| Synjunitzu | looking | 17:51 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: that age is for drivers that configure both screens to behave like one big desktop (kde needs to then split oit back up... which is what that dialog is for) | 17:52 |
| James147 | that page ^^ | 17:52 |
| Mad_Dud | Hi guys, does anybody know, what happened if i have only "other" option in add network printer window? previously i've had couple printers added there without any problems | 17:52 |
| Mad_Dud | i run kubuntu 10.04 | 17:52 |
| James147 | (like nvidias twinview mode, the intel ones dont do that as far as I know)) | 17:52 |
| Synjunitzu | it keeps reseting kubuntu | 18:04 |
| Synjunitzu | whenever i make the change | 18:04 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: hmm, try running krandrtray... | 18:06 |
| James147 | (isnt sure if that helped or not..) | 18:06 |
| Synjunitzu | okay | 18:07 |
| Mad_Dud | This is, how my printing options look like: http://i.imgur.com/DdP1w.png http://i.imgur.com/fmGGO.png | 18:07 |
| Mad_Dud | do you know, what can i do with that? the "smb" printer option is missing ... | 18:08 |
| Peace- | hi channel | 18:10 |
| === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK | ||
| Synjunitzu | ok so I've done the sudo apt-get upgrade now. | 18:19 |
| Synjunitzu | what next? | 18:19 |
| Synjunitzu | lol | 18:19 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: its normally best to run: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" << the first command makes sure that you get the latest versions in the repos (as it refreshs the packagelist) | 18:24 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: and for the "what next?" that depends on what you want/need to do :) | 18:24 |
| Synjunitzu | running that command | 18:25 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: its recomended to install "kubuntu-restricted-extras" if you want multimedia support for restricted formats (like mp3s) | 18:25 |
| Synjunitzu | well.. I want youtube to begin with | 18:25 |
| Synjunitzu | as well as both my monitors displaying correctly | 18:25 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: ^^ the above should install falsh as well | 18:25 |
| Synjunitzu | okay | 18:26 |
| James147 | (if not then install "flashplugin-installer" | 18:26 |
| Synjunitzu | tnx :) | 18:26 |
| Synjunitzu | where can I find a list of all the repositories with contents | 18:27 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: as for the resalutions, if the krandrtray dosnt restore the settings you can create a script to manually run xrandr and place it in System settings > advanced > Autostart (on kde 4.4) | 18:27 |
| Synjunitzu | no0o0 whered yu go! | 18:28 |
| Synjunitzu | lol | 18:28 |
| Daskreech | Synjunitzu: What do you mean all the repositories ? | 18:28 |
| Synjunitzu | well yeah | 18:28 |
| Pici | Synjunitzu: http://packages.ubuntu.com | 18:28 |
| Synjunitzu | thankyu :) | 18:29 |
| Synjunitzu | James147: My monitor resolution changes although it just suddenly resets kubuntu.. | 18:30 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-setup-dual-monitors-with-xrandr/2009/06/01 might be useful | 18:32 |
| Synjunitzu | okay ive just done the sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer and youtube still isnt working :/ ie the flash part | 18:33 |
| Synjunitzu | whats up :/ | 18:33 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: did you restart your browser? | 18:33 |
| James147 | (or might be better, logout and back in... flash can be finiky about things...) | 18:34 |
| Mad_Dud | guys, please give me a clue, how to solve my printer problems - lack of smb option to add it: http://i.imgur.com/DdP1w.png http://i.imgur.com/fmGGO.png | 18:34 |
| Mad_Dud | it was working couple of weeks ago | 18:34 |
| Synjunitzu | working now. | 18:35 |
| James147 | Mad_Dud: you could try configuing cups directly by going to http://localhost:631/ in your browser | 18:36 |
| Mad_Dud | page empty | 18:36 |
| Mad_Dud | which daemon should be running? | 18:36 |
| Mad_Dud | cupsd ? | 18:36 |
| James147 | yeah | 18:36 |

| Mad_Dud | James147: bingo, cups wasn't running | 18:38 |
| Mad_Dud | cheers | 18:38 |
| Synjunitzu | James147: that script wont help me. since whats happening is my kubuntu is change to the correct monitor modes yes but. its reseting itself like a second after its been set. | 18:40 |
| Synjunitzu | changing* | 18:40 |
| Synjunitzu | !winamp | 18:41 |
| ubottu | winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use audacious as alternative. | 18:41 |
| Synjunitzu | ? | 18:41 |
| Synjunitzu | hmm | 18:42 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: ^^ I like amarok better then winamp :) | 18:42 |
| James147 | (kdes default) | 18:42 |
| Peace- | amarok rulez | 18:42 |
| Peace- | but i still prefer vlc | 18:43 |
| Peace- | :D | 18:43 |
| Synjunitzu | loading it up | 18:43 |
| * James147 hates vlc | 18:43 | |
| avihay | I recommend qmmp | 18:43 |
| Peace- | James147: lol | 18:43 |
| avihay | I use it with the winamp classic skin | 18:43 |
| v3nd3tta`` | back :D | 18:43 |
| Synjunitzu | i like winamps simplicity tho | 18:43 |
| James147 | Peace-: its always been less stable the kaffeine on my computers | 18:43 |
| Synjunitzu | skins? | 18:43 |
| Synjunitzu | qmmp? | 18:43 |
| Peace- | James147: really vlc less stable than kaffeince? | 18:43 |
| avihay | http://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/index_en.php | 18:44 |
| v3nd3tta`` | hey James147 BluesKaj :D wtf where is eagles? | 18:44 |
| James147 | Peace-: for me it seemed to be :) | 18:44 |
| Peace- | wow | 18:44 |
| James147 | v3nd3tta``: hey... he seems to be in offtopic :) | 18:44 |
| v3nd3tta`` | ah, didn't look so far :D | 18:45 |
| v3nd3tta`` | someone spammed me with my name :D | 18:45 |
| James147 | Peace-: (then again, i havent tryed it in ages) | 18:45 |
| v3nd3tta`` | but not here :P | 18:45 |
| v3nd3tta`` | gah i had vlc long time ago but i am happy now with amarok and dragon player | 18:46 |
| avihay | Synjunitzu: if you want, I can dig out where I found my skin | 18:46 |
| tjingboem | hi! i lost all my icons on the taskbar. How can i get them back? | 18:46 |
| Synjunitzu | please | 18:46 |
| James147 | v3nd3tta``: I prefure kaffeine for its playlists, I like to que serires when i watch tehm so I dont ahve to get up every episode | 18:46 |
| * Daskreech likes kaffeine | 18:46 | |
| Peace- | James147: i always used vlc | 18:46 |
| Peace- | :S | 18:47 |
| v3nd3tta`` | idk i used vlc last before i got a backdoor trojan at win xp | 18:47 |
| v3nd3tta`` | but it needed long to load anything even with 4gb ram | 18:47 |
| Synjunitzu | lol | 18:47 |
| avihay | Synjunitzu: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Winamp+Classic+Skin+for+XMMS?content=78723 | 18:47 |
| Peace- | really strange | 18:47 |
| Synjunitzu | looking | 18:47 |
| v3nd3tta`` | but what do you do with a backdoor trojan? | 18:48 |
| v3nd3tta`` | format him under linux :D | 18:48 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: I dont see the point in skinning single applications... I then to just modify the theme of them all and keep a uniformed look :) | 18:48 |
| v3nd3tta`` | since then i did not use windows any time again (exept school where i even tried to boot from live cd kubuntu 10.04 at the release date) | 18:48 |
| v3nd3tta`` | but school computers suck | 18:49 |
| * James147 notes that we drifted offtopic again :) | 18:49 | |
| v3nd3tta`` | yeah | 18:49 |
| * v3nd3tta`` hides | 18:49 | |
| * avihay wonders why kubuntu dumped the feature complete kaffein in favor of a "not so nice" hackjob like dragon player | 18:53 | |
| Daskreech | avihay: it was not feature complete | 18:54 |
| James147 | avihay: they didnt, kaffeine is still part of kde as far as I know | 18:54 |
| James147 | avihay: they just use the simple dragon as the default as thats what most people need | 18:54 |
| Daskreech | James147: Kubuntu and KDE are different things | 18:54 |
| James147 | Daskreech: yeah, miss read... but the point still stands | 18:55 |
| Daskreech | avihay was complaining about kubuntu :) | 18:55 |
| avihay | I think the answer is that kaffein was for kde3, and they wanted to move to kde4 only software, and kaffein for kde4 today is not feature complete | 18:55 |
| James147 | avihay: it is more so then dragonplayer... :) | 18:56 |
| Synjunitzu | should I sudo apt-get install firefox or get it from the website? | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | v3nd3tta``, eagles was here this morning , but I had to leave so we din't chat ..he's still listed in offtopic | 18:56 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: through apt-get is usually better | 18:57 |
| Synjunitzu | okay | 18:57 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: but using the firefox installer in the menus is best | 18:57 |
| Daskreech | avihay: yes that would be the answer | 18:57 |
| James147 | (it also installs support for kde) | 18:57 |
| v3nd3tta`` | yeah i already saw him there BluesKaj :D welcome back to idling | 18:57 |
| Synjunitzu | menu's? | 18:57 |
| avihay | true, but kaffein moved from being my default player in kubuntu with kde3 to something I don't run anymore because it just doesn't work | 18:57 |
| Synjunitzu | ahh | 18:58 |
| Synjunitzu | i c | 18:58 |
| Daskreech | avihay: install kaffiene It's almost back to KDE3 days except without DVB suppor | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | gotta go for now ...bbl | 18:58 |
| Daskreech | t should get it next release which might flip Kubuntu back to discuss kaffiene vs Dragon again | 18:58 |
| Daskreech | bye BluesKaj | 18:58 |
| avihay | OMG, kaffein really doesn't work for me (never uninstalled it) (thought it wasn't working due to my compositing manager) | 19:00 |
| avihay | audio is fine, window expands to the size of the video, no video | 19:00 |
| Synjunitzu | how do yu get info on a program through sudo apt-get ? | 19:00 |
| James147 | avihay: there is a bug in the current verion in lucid, you need to stiwch tabs to get video | 19:01 |
| Torch | Synjunitzu: no sudo. apt-get show <package> | 19:01 |
| avihay | no drag and drop support!!! | 19:01 |
| Synjunitzu | okay | 19:01 |
| James147 | avihay: there isnt? (remembers there was) | 19:01 |
| Torch | Synjunitzu: you can sudo, of course. but root privs are not required for that. | 19:01 |
| avihay | switch tabs how? is switching to full screen enough? | 19:02 |
| Synjunitzu | cool | 19:02 |
| James147 | avihay: no, need to change to one of the tabs with a video in (playlist or tv)... its been fixed in svn | 19:02 |
| avihay | ok, I see the tabs | 19:02 |
| avihay | thanks | 19:02 |
| Synjunitzu | So James147, what do yu think I should do about my monitors? | 19:07 |
| avihay | no support for built in subtitles in mkv or ogm, can't select audio or video tracks... stuff that were a given in kaffein kde3, so, no, it has a long way to go, but still dragon player doesn't get to kaffein's knees | 19:07 |
| Synjunitzu | it changes. but it just resets kubuntu back to default after. | 19:07 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: configure xorg and use xrandr | 19:09 |
| James147 | (which the link i sent before shows you how to) | 19:10 |
| Synjunitzu | :/ okay whats the link again sorry? | 19:10 |
| KittyBoots | Does ubuntu require swap? | 19:10 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-setup-dual-monitors-with-xrandr/2009/06/01 | 19:11 |
| Synjunitzu | thanx James147 :) | 19:11 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: that depends on your computer and what you want to do | 19:11 |
| Torch | KittyBoots: linux does not require swap per se. | 19:11 |
| KittyBoots | What is the appropriate terminal command to display system memory? | 19:12 |
| Torch | KittyBoots: free | 19:12 |
| James147 | or "free -m" to make it easier to read :) | 19:13 |
| KittyBoots | How much memory and swap is optimum for ubuntu 10.04? | 19:13 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: depends on your computer | 19:13 |
| Daskreech | avihay: Dragon player was never intended to | 19:14 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: ^^ I would recomend 1 gig or more ram, but thats not the minimum requirement | 19:14 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: it should be able to run with 512, or even 256 (although its not recomended to use it on 256, you would get horrible preformance) | 19:15 |
| Daskreech | KittyBoots: Depends on what you are doing with it | 19:15 |
| KittyBoots | What is the command to display my prossessor stats? | 19:16 |
| Daskreech | 256 is a low minimum but I wouldn't call that "using" it | 19:16 |
| James147 | ^^ but yes, it entirly depends on what you want to do with it :) | 19:16 |
| avihay | cpu usage or cpu capabilitys? | 19:16 |
| Synjunitzu | I run kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf and im definitely not getting what theyre talking about | 19:16 |
| Daskreech | KittyBoots: sudo lshw -c CPU | 19:16 |
| === fx is now known as Guest48470 | ||
| KittyBoots | Daskreech; I am building a media editing machine and trying to do my best to ensure that it is as optimum as I can make it. | 19:17 |
| KittyBoots | I am trying ArtistX | 19:18 |
| Daskreech | KittyBoots: ah well then assuming you will do video at some point as much RAM as you can throw at it | 19:18 |
| KittyBoots | Daskreech; for now I am just working with what I've got and that's 875mb. | 19:18 |
| Daskreech | that's more than I has | 19:19 |
| Daskreech | had | 19:19 |
| avihay | with swap it should be more then fine | 19:19 |
| KittyBoots | avihay; how much swap would be optimum? | 19:20 |
| Badegakk | i have manged to fix the sudo issue, i have one question. Is it posible to watch video from a share using the network from the tab in dolphin. I can browse folders and copy and move files but i cant watch them, neither in vlc or dragon player. Do i realy have to use client like smb4k? | 19:20 |
| avihay | "they say" somewhere between 1.5 and 2.5 of your ram size | 19:20 |
| Hoschi | hi could anyone give me a link to a description to configure wine for starcraft 2 | 19:21 |
| Synjunitzu | is kubuntu resetting; a normal thing after setting up different monitors? | 19:21 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: how much ram do you have? (sorry droped out fir abit :) ) | 19:21 |
| Badegakk | I use 2 x the ram size for my swap, never had any issue | 19:21 |
| Pici | !appdb | Hoschi | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Hoschi: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 19:21 |
| James147 | Badegakk: 2x ram isnt always needed, espically for larger ammounts (when swap isent needed at all unless you want to hybernate) | 19:22 |
| Hoschi | thank you | 19:22 |
| KittyBoots | James147; 875mb | 19:22 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: then 1 gig of swap should be enough :) | 19:23 |
| KittyBoots | James147; cool thanks! | 19:23 |
| Daskreech | KittyBoots: The rule of thumb is about 2X your RAM till you hit 1GB of ram then 1-1.5 GB should be fine | 19:23 |
| Synjunitzu | :( | 19:24 |
| Synjunitzu | 2 monitors | 19:24 |
| KittyBoots | What is the optimum placement of the swap, before or after root partition? | 19:26 |
| Badegakk | James147, true, it almost never in use my swap partion. But harddrive space is not an issue on mu setup | 19:26 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: you wont notice much difference | 19:26 |
| Daskreech | KittyBoots: I don't think you need to tune it that much | 19:26 |
| KittyBoots | Sure, does it ever make a difference? | 19:27 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: note also that you can create swap files instead of partitions, doing so allows you to easaly resize your swap space without repartitioning | 19:27 |
| Daskreech | It does but you are talking milliseconds of difference | 19:27 |
| avihay | theoretically before, but then you have to allocate a tiny partition for the boot-loader | 19:27 |
| KittyBoots | And are there any commands to display disk stats? | 19:27 |
| Daskreech | unless you are contstantly swapping and have time cruicial processes waiting on it then you'll never see a difference | 19:27 |
| Daskreech | KittyBoots: Lots of commands for disk stats | 19:28 |
| James147 | Daskreech: and if you do, then getting more ram is the better option :) | 19:28 |
| KittyBoots | James147; That's interesting, how do I do that? | 19:28 |
| James147 | basically use dd to create a file of the size you want, then formate that file as swap :) | 19:28 |
| Daskreech | James147: maybe | 19:29 |
| Badegakk | anyone who manage to make smb4k work under kubunt 10.04 or 10.10? | 19:29 |
| James147 | there are many guides online as to how to do it | 19:29 |
| James147 | Badegakk: Think I tryed it once, and it worked as expected... | 19:29 |
| KittyBoots | James147; Sure, what is dd? | 19:29 |
| Daskreech | KittyBoots: diskduplicator | 19:30 |
| Daskreech | it copies something bit for bit somewhere else | 19:30 |
| Badegakk | James147, do mount your shares in fstab or do you use another client to watch video files from a share? | 19:30 |
| KittyBoots | I'll have to check on this. | 19:30 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: a command for copying data at the disk level | 19:30 |
| KittyBoots | Thanks a lot for the help. | 19:31 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: but since linux uses files to represent devices, dd (and mkfs.swap, or any other disk util) also work on files :D | 19:31 |
| BluesKaj | Badegakk, just use networking in dolphin using "add network folder" which lists several oprions dependeing on the pcs to which you want to connect | 19:31 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: this might be of intrest: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 19:32 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: spicifically, for creating a swap file: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20do%20I%20add%20more%20swap? | 19:34 |
| Badegakk | BluesKaj, is micrsoft windows network drive for windows shares? | 19:36 |
| BluesKaj | Badegakk, yes | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | Badegakk, of course the share will need a user and password | 19:37 |
| KittyBoots | James147; this is great, much more orderly and flexible than manipulating partitions. | 19:38 |
| Badegakk | BluesKaj, i can see all my content, copy and move, but not watch | 19:39 |
| Badegakk | BluesKaj, i dont think dolphin supports watching large video files | 19:40 |
| James147 | Badegakk: dolphin dosnt support watching videos :) thats dragon players job | 19:41 |
| James147 | Badegakk: and you can watch videos over smb shares | 19:41 |
| James147 | (well, i can do it... no clue how I configued it to though) | 19:41 |
| Badegakk | James147, not trough dolphin, if mount the share trough fstab or smb4k i can | 19:42 |
| Synjunitzu | ok i know what the problem is now. when I try set my netbooks display resolution to 1024*900 it resets. anyone know how to get past this? | 19:42 |
| James147 | Badegakk: yes through dolhpin (that how I do it, no mounting or anything) | 19:42 |
| Synjunitzu | running it on 640*480 now | 19:42 |
| James147 | Badegakk: (it supports it, but I dont know how to configure it to work) | 19:43 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: configure xorg... (dont personally know how to do it manually, but there shold be lots of guides on google) | 19:43 |
| Synjunitzu | how can i configure xorg theres nothing in it. | 19:44 |
| hawkI | Synjunitzu: distro? | 19:44 |
| Badegakk | hmm. wierd | 19:44 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: by default 10.04 dosnt have an xorg.conf file, but if you create one it will use it | 19:44 |
| === Guest48470 is now known as linuxfx | ||
| Synjunitzu | well :/ wondering how to create one now | 19:47 |
| * Synjunitzu googles | 19:47 | |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: its just a file, so "kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (and saving) will create an empty one... dont know how to write one though, but there are lots of guides for configuing xorg | 19:48 |
| Synjunitzu | yeah thats what I mean | 19:48 |
| Synjunitzu | the writing of it | 19:49 |

| Synjunitzu | hmm reading | 19:54 |
| Synjunitzu | anyone know hot to make the task bar float? | 20:03 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: float? | 20:03 |
| Synjunitzu | yeah. | 20:03 |
| Synjunitzu | lol | 20:03 |
| Synjunitzu | like how windows can float | 20:04 |
| Synjunitzu | and widget | 20:04 |
| Synjunitzu | widgets* | 20:04 |
| EagleScreen_ | you mean put it as a widget on the Desktop | 20:05 |
| Synjunitzu | yeah | 20:05 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: ... not sure how that would work...? (what is if you want it to be visable when applications are covering it?, if not then just rightclick the desktop > add widgets > find "Task Manager" > drag to where you want it) | 20:05 |
| Synjunitzu | the whole task bar | 20:05 |
| Synjunitzu | hmm | 20:05 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: note that everything on the panel (and desktop) is a widget and can be added this way and placed anywher you like :) | 20:05 |
| djmao | hola | 20:06 |
| Synjunitzu | okay cool | 20:06 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: oo, and there is a dash board you can place things on as well | 20:06 |
| Synjunitzu | im just trying to figure out a work around | 20:06 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: workaround for what? | 20:06 |
| Synjunitzu | screen problem | 20:06 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: the links we sent didnt help? | 20:07 |
| Synjunitzu | well theyre not the problem | 20:07 |
| zongo_ | hey guys, would need help if possible with my wireless !! the issue is cant get internet connection. I can connect to my AP with no error message at all. | 20:07 |
| zongo_ | but I have no internet connection whatshover | 20:08 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: then what exactly is the problem? | 20:08 |
| Synjunitzu | the problem is my Kubuntu keeps reseting everytime I apply the resolution of 1024*600 | 20:08 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: yes, so setting xorg (which sets the resalution before kde is even started) should help | 20:08 |
| Synjunitzu | oh | 20:09 |
| Synjunitzu | lol didnt know that | 20:09 |
| Synjunitzu | googling for an example xorg config now | 20:09 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: those links we sent show how to set one up | 20:09 |
| zongo_ | sorry, need to rectify that, iwconfig gives me Access Point: Not-associated | 20:09 |
| zongo_ | so that means I cannot associate with my AP for an unknow reason | 20:10 |

| Synjunitzu | because of my messup up resolution I cant access the... the "start" widget.. | 20:14 |
| Synjunitzu | to get access to krand something? | 20:15 |
| Synjunitzu | awesome. run utility | 20:16 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: alt+f2 to get krunner up and run what you want from that | 20:16 |
| Synjunitzu | yeah found it in right click | 20:16 |
| * James147 uses krunner as a menu replacment on his netbook AND desktop | 20:17 | |
| DarthFrog | James147: Nice. :-) | 20:20 |
| DarthFrog | I also supplement krunner with a yakuake sesson. | 20:21 |
| === hans_ is now known as hax | ||
| James147 | DarthFrog: o yeah, run yakuake as well :) which I use mostly to replace konsole (although not always) | 20:22 |
| James147 | (at least for running tasks quickly) | 20:22 |
| DarthFrog | Yakuake is pretty much a more agile Konsole. | 20:23 |
| * James147 has also configured text files to open in konsole using vim, and to attach to an existing session if there is one :D | 20:24 | |
| DarthFrog | Now that's a nice touch. | 20:24 |
| James147 | DarthFrog: it uses konsole-part so is basically konsole :) | 20:24 |
| DarthFrog | Right. | 20:24 |
| Synjunitzu | hmpf.. ok im not gona do this now.. | 20:25 |
| DarthFrog | But in a more ergonomic exoskeleton. :-) | 20:25 |

| Synjunitzu | i think my widget thing just crashed | 20:30 |
| Synjunitzu | i click add widgets and nothing comes up | 20:30 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: ... hmm | 20:30 |
| Synjunitzu | :? | 20:30 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: its part of plasma, would have thorught if it crashed it would bring down the desktop | 20:31 |
| Synjunitzu | Lol. | 20:31 |
| Synjunitzu | well.. | 20:31 |
| Synjunitzu | it isnt showing up | 20:31 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: lock and unlock the widgets (just a random guess) | 20:32 |
| Synjunitzu | nope not working | 20:32 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: if not restart plasma-desktop (kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 2 && plasma-desktop) | 20:32 |
| Synjunitzu | locked and unlocked. clicked add widgets still nothing | 20:33 |
| Synjunitzu | okay | 20:33 |
| Synjunitzu | ill remember that one | 20:33 |
| Synjunitzu | working | 20:33 |
| James147 | (note that the sleep 2 just delays the starting, its not needed but I have found that without it plasma-desktop dosnt always come back up | 20:34 |
| Synjunitzu | cool | 20:34 |
| James147 | (if it dosnt just alt+f2 and run "plasma-desktop" | 20:34 |
| Synjunitzu | okay | 20:35 |

| Synjunitzu | :/ | 20:46 |
| Synjunitzu | Konversation | 20:47 |
| v3nd3tta`` | first try to search it about kpackagekit | 20:47 |
| James147 | Synjunitzu: "sudo aptitude insstall konversation" or through kpackagekit (or apt-get instead of aptitude) | 20:47 |
| Synjunitzu | installing | 20:47 |
| Synjunitzu | yeah | 20:47 |

| markit | hi, how can I have the choice of the sytem locales to use? dpkg-reconfigure locales does not ask me (while in debian does), kubunut 10.04 | 20:51 |
| KittyBoots | What is the keyring used by the network manager applet? | 20:54 |
| KittyBoots | It keeps asking me for a password but not accepting it. | 20:55 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: kwallet stores passwords, | 20:56 |
| KittyBoots | James147; it is not cooperating with me. | 20:56 |
| KittyBoots | I have to deny it. | 20:57 |
| KittyBoots | How do I configure it? | 20:57 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: kwallet? or knetworkmanger? | 20:58 |
| KittyBoots | How do I dissasociate the two? | 20:58 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: knetwrokmanager stores its passwords in kwallet (so it will ask for a network key first, then ask you to create a wallet) | 20:59 |
| KittyBoots | Do I have to create a wallet? | 20:59 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: no | 21:00 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: the first time a program trys to access one, it will prompt you to create it (a dialog with two password fields will appear and a strength indicator) | 21:00 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: my guess is knetworkmanager is having problems with the network key? | 21:01 |
| KittyBoots | I don't know, somethings not working properly. This seems to be . . . acting strangely. | 21:01 |
| KittyBoots | Maybe, I'll try changing things. | 21:01 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: knetworkmanager has a few kinks still... what encryption are you using? | 21:02 |
| KittyBoots | The ssid is hidden and the encryption is wpa & wpa2 personal 36 character. | 21:03 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: hmm, hidden ssid, dont know how well knetworkmanager handels them... | 21:03 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: do you have a wired connection at all? | 21:04 |
| KittyBoots | James147; No. I am on 2 computers. This is my main unit and the other is the one I am installing on. | 21:05 |
| === synju is now known as Synjunitzu | ||
| KittyBoots | James147; but if I do have a router that is not being used. If I could do internet connection sharing with this machine and use the router to share the connection than I would. But I have never done that before and that was not on my list of things to do today. | 21:07 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: would it be possible to temporly connect the new computer instead to install a few things? (the other option is to configure the internet connection via command line, which i dont know how to do with wireless:) ) | 21:10 |
| KittyBoots | James147; I am too far from the router to connect. | 21:11 |
| James147 | KittyBoots: I suggest you try to install "wicd" it handles wireless better then networkmanager does atm... (easiet to do with a wired connection if at all possible... but there are allot of guides on howto configure teh wireless via command line if thats not possible) | 21:15 |
| KittyBoots | James147; sure thanks. | 21:15 |

| DoctorPepper | James147: kde 4.4, and it behaves the same way on oxygen | 22:11 |
| DoctorPepper | James147: any idea ??? | 22:14 |
| James147 | DoctorPepper: try chaging tabs in kaffeine | 22:17 |

| Pavel_10 | When I restart, f12, and select "removable devices", there's a pause and then it boots into kubuntu as usual | 22:27 |
| Pavel_10 | I'm trying to boot into ubuntu netbook | 22:27 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: I would use usb-creator-kde or unetbootin to create them | 22:30 |
| Pavel_10 | james147, 've been using the USB startup creator ("usb" option from CL) | 22:32 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: hmm, that should make the drive bootable | 22:34 |
| Pavel_10 | james147, do you know if there's a way to check the install for errors? | 22:34 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: I take bit F12 is the key to select the device to boot from? | 22:34 |
| Pavel_10 | james147 yes | 22:34 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: well, i would do a md5 on the .iso to make sure tahts not cruppt, | 22:35 |
| James147 | !md5 | 22:35 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:35 |
| Pavel_10 | how do I do that | 22:35 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: if it passes, try rerunning usb-creator and creating the disk again | 22:35 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: read the links ubottu gave | 22:36 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: You might want to note that not all bios's support booting from usb devices, although I dont know how to check this (most if not all modern ones do) | 22:37 |
| Pavel_10 | i'm just trying ubuntu10.4 | 22:38 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: note also that you can install ubuntu inside kubuntu (and chose which one you want to load at the login screen) but installing ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop (or ubuntu-netbook...) | 22:40 |
| Pavel_10 | I'm actually just trying to test my ubuntu-flash drive so I can use that drive to test out a pc | 22:41 |
| Pavel_10 | james147, i ran the md5sum and checked the number on the hash page, and everything seems to check out | 22:43 |
| James147 | Pavel_10: then try reinstalling it to the flash stick and trying again... if it still dosnt work I am not sure what you can do (I would test it on a nother comp if you have one, it could be that this computer cannot boot from usb) | 22:44 |

| mado | what do you mean with that? ... png-files are ".png" ... yes | 23:50 |
| daskreecH | mado: Then you can used the find command and do what you want with it | 23:50 |
| daskreecH | mado: Look up find and exec{} to get an example | 23:50 |
| mado | ok ... lemme check that ... you mean looking them up in the manpages don't you? | 23:51 |
| daskreecH | In short you can look up all files in a particular directory that end with .png and then do any action on them for example moving them to this directory | 23:51 |
| daskreecH | mado: Faster to ask the internet it's a well known and documented problem | 23:52 |
| daskreecH | You can read the manpage after to see what else you would like to do | 23:52 |
| djustice | mado: kfind? you can drag'n'drop the results to a dir in dolphin.. | 23:52 |
