[00:12] afink: try "sh install.bin" [00:14] oh yeah...duh. weird...got Syntax error: "(" unexpected [00:14] sounds like a bug in the .bin but... maybe are you sure it should be sh? [00:14] sh is dash on ubuntu [00:14] try with bash [00:15] must be a bug [00:17] 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] no I wish it did [00:17] its sugarcrm [00:18] its binary so I don't think I can [00:19] You're downloading the Fastrack version?

[00:40] 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. [00:41] Yeah, it's a wdget called Task Manager [00:41] *Widget [00:41] nvm [00:44] i was on gde. then i installed kubuntu. i was able to go to ubuntu and kubuntu both for some time but now whenever i run linux kubuntu automatically runs pls help [00:45] :( also when i use logout. it doesnt turn off the cpu. only display is turned off [00:56] hawkI thank you, sir. i just reinstalled kubuntu heh === visita is now known as visita_ [00:59] dk12548: you can install the package "ubuntu-default-settings", which should change the boot splash, login screen, and default window manager. [01:00] ohh kkk e_t_ i am trying and will give you response in a while [01:05] e_t_: i am not able to install that pls tell me how can i install it [01:06] Do you know how to open a terminal window? [01:06] yes i know that [01:07] OK. Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-default-settings" [01:07] It will ask for your password. [01:08] E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-default-settings [01:08] it is giving this error [01:09] Hmm. Try "sudo apt-get update". [01:09] ok [01:09] It completed without errors? [01:10] its saying to hit some email addresses [01:11] yes [01:12] Try the first command again. [01:12] same error e_t_ [01:13] unable to find the package.:( [01:13] cant i restore the whole thing back [01:14] ?/ [01:14] What do you mean restore the whole thing? [01:16] i mean when i was on windows and something gone bad then i used to restore my whole computer to previous times [01:16] as if it was in that time. [01:16] its called time machine in mac [01:16] Well, you *can* do that, but there's no need, not for this. [01:17] ohhhhhhhh really, actually my logon screen is not displayed [01:17] ? [01:17] We'll try something different. Type "cd /etc/X11" [01:17] ok then [01:18] Now "cat default-display-manager" and tell me what it says. [01:19] /usr/sbin/gdm [01:21] 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] niether of them bro. when i start my pc kubuntu comes. [01:21] no logon screen is displayed [01:22] it used to display the logon screen for some days [01:22] Do you have auto-login enabled? [01:22] i dont know that [01:22] please tell me brother [01:24] Let's check. Open System Settings and find the Login Screen option. It will be in the advanced tab if you're using so.. do you want to convert all to Kubuntu? [01:26] what is the problem? [01:28] i opened system settings but there is no login screen option in that [01:29] Did you look for an advanced tab? [01:29] yes [01:29] EagleScreen_: i am not able to see the logon screen [01:29] dk12548: what are you trying to do? [01:29] ok [01:30] what happens when you close your session? [01:30] it turns off my display, but my cpu is not turned off [01:31] e_t_: hey it shows an option of login manager [01:31] dk12548: be sure you have got kdm installed [01:31] what is kdm? [01:31] KDE Display Manager [01:31] you are using gdm (the Gnome one) right now [01:31] Login manager might be it. [01:31] i am in kdm [01:31] sure? [01:32] default.display-manager says /usr/sbin/gdm [01:32] yes [01:32] run sudo aptitude install kdm [01:32] ok just a moment EagleScreen_ [01:33] if it is already installed, run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, and select kdm instead of gdm as default [01:33] k its done EagleScreen_ [01:33] dk12548: are you in lucid? [01:33] yes EagleScreen_ [01:34] which graphics crad? [01:34] card? [01:34] nvdia 8400 gs [01:35] but EagleScreen_ my problem is that i am not able to see the logon screen [01:35] your X seerver may be crashing when you go to KDM [01:35] i used to see it till two days before [01:36] and what did you do? [01:36] what did you chnage? [01:36] i dont remember just installed compiz [01:36] compiz in KDE? [01:36] that is absurd [01:36] no actually i installed it in gde [01:37] in Gnome [01:37] ya [01:37] and two days before you saw KDM property? [01:37] but i configed it in kde [01:37] no i didnt know about it till today [01:38] use compiz in KDE is a bad idea [01:38] oh so what can i do now? i have made changes in compiz while i was on kde [01:38] like i checked the cube option etc [01:39] KDE has it own effects [01:39] cant i restore it EagleScreen_ [01:39] may be [01:40] dk12548: have you disabled auto-login yet? [01:40] no, i dont know how to do that :( EagleScreen_ [01:41] that's the kubuntu room I remember. [01:41] tell me EagleScreen_ how can i disable auto login? [01:41] dk12548: Systemsettings -> Advanced -> Login Screen [01:42] its nothing called login screen here [01:42] there is a login manager [01:42] should i open it? [01:43] ofcourse open what I said [01:43] 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] Tejyasn: it may be a kernel update, did you try another old kernel? [01:43] but its not there [01:44] I cannot get past the "no init found" [01:44] there isnt Login Screen icon? [01:44] nope [01:44] nope [01:44] dk12548: let me check [01:44] Open the login manager, just to see. [01:44] ok e_t_ [01:45] i have opened it [01:45] now? [01:45] @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] Do you see a tab titled Convenience? [01:45] yes e_t_ [01:45] Click on that. [01:46] i have done that [01:46] oh you already were on it! [01:46] but enable auto login check box is not ticked [01:47] dk12548: so you are using gdm istead of kdm? [01:47] no i am on kdm right not [01:47] 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. [01:49] 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] because you ahve autologin enabled in gdm and you are uding gdm istead of kdm === liveuser is now known as Daskreech [01:50] so how can i cure it EagleScreen_ [01:51] why does asound.state reset it's configuration when i reboot? [01:52] Tejyasn: What's the situation? [01:52] any help? [01:53] With? [01:53] 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] 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" [01:54] dk12548: you must change it in the gdm preferences [01:54] and how can i do that even when i cant login in gdm? [01:54] Ertain: if it's an app just run it as the root window [01:55] 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] EagleScreen_: cant i restore my system back to my privios times? [01:55] dk12548: the easiest way is to change your default display manager to KDM [01:55] Tejyasn: can You get to bustbox? [01:55] yes, I am there [01:55] gah this applet doesn't tab [01:55] dk12548: time machine is not available in Ubuntu, sorry [01:55] ohhhhhhhhh and how can i do that EagleScreen_ [01:55] Tejyasn: oh first of all You get the grub menu? [01:56] oh no :( [01:56] can You get to the grub menu? [01:56] 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] one sec, let me start her up so I can follow along. I'm not fantastically savy with the software side of things [01:57] i am a windows geek. but lower than a noob in linux:(( [01:57] ok, Daskreech, what is the grub? [01:58] grand unified bootloader [01:58] its a kind of boot manager Tejyasn [01:58] Tejyasn: When you are starting up you get a message saying press Esc to see Grub menu [01:58] very early in teh boot. Right after POST [01:58] can You press Esc at that point? [01:58] umm.. no I don't [01:59] You should get a list of options [01:59] What do you see after post? [01:59] How do I do that, Daskreech? Is it related to the krunner? [01:59] so cant i repair the whole thing? [01:59] Daskreech, I go from BIOS load to a brief flash of the kubuntu load screen, then STRAIGHT to "No init found." [02:00] i have a dual boot. i dont want to remove the whole c drive of mine [02:00] Ertain: no the background is a "layer" in X. Esentially a program. You can replace it with any program you like [02:00] Tejyasn: press Esc on the brief Kubuntu Load screen [02:00] Daskreech, with GRUB2, it's the shift key, not Esc. (I think) [02:00] e_t_: thanks [02:00] Tejyasn: or esc [02:00] I mean shift [02:00] Daskreech: Do you know how I might do that? Or what the "program" might be? [02:01] what I see now is....BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) etc [02:01] Daskreech, that is like trying to time a button press to lightning.. [02:01] 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] it is literally THAT fast [02:02] dk12548: open a terminal [02:02] ok. i opened it [02:02] Well, it's more like an audio visualizer. [02:02] run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [02:02] I'm using kde4, btw. [02:02] choose kdm [02:02] Tejyasn: :0 Ok [02:02] and reboot [02:02] HAH! [02:02] Tejyasn: can You type ls /dev/sd* [02:02] do you get a response? [02:03] I got the GRUB [02:03] ok i have done that [02:03] What I need to do is pipe or move that visualization into the wallpaper/background... thingy. [02:03] Tejyasn: ok great :) is there a menu of options? [02:03] ok EagleScreen_ i will come back in a while [02:03] after rebooting [02:03] but one more problem [02:03] Ertain: how are you getting the visulalization? [02:03] Hmm... [02:03] Daskreech, yes there is, I am guessing a recovery mode one? [02:03] i dont get any option of rebooting [02:04] I think in Audacious. Though that's just a plugin. [02:04] how can i reboot from cli [02:04] Tejyasn: no that takes you to busybox [02:04] oh [02:04] Tejyasn: how many options do you have? [02:04] There has to be something that can output a song in some window. :-/ [02:04] Ertain: likely [02:05] if anyone wants to take a crack at it http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3113610.0 [02:05] 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 [02:06] Tejyasn: have you tried all of them? [02:06] Ertain: You can probably ask in #plasma or #kde if you like [02:06] EagleScreen_, I am afraid to touch anything at this point [02:07] Tejyasn: try the oldest one listed that's not recovery [02:07] Tejyasn: don't be afraid. i had to reinstall 4 times yesterday x) [02:07] Daskreech, I'm blaming you if I catch on fire.... [02:07] this is K/Ubuntu guys! it breaks sometimes! [02:07] ok... [02:07] EagleScreen_: welcome to having a general purpose OS [02:07] and other times it never works in the first place xD [02:07] this does not look good [02:08] Can do, Daskreech. [02:08] illunatic: welcome to Linux in that case :) [02:08] heh [02:08] thanks Daskreech [02:08] For desktop background, what is the difference between scaled and scaled & cropped? Which is better? [02:08] * Ertain joins plasma [02:08] hi EagleScreen_, same problem again [02:08] busy today? [02:08] MarkSS: depends on the wallpaper try both choose the one you like better [02:09] 1920x1200 on a 1980x1080 monitor [02:09] dk12548: so dont use any of them [02:09] no logon screen. one more problem. now on loging me in kde it says that my audio devices are not warking properly [02:09] but there is no option of that [02:09] dk12548: a tipicla bug when you dont use kdm [02:10] what kind of bug? [02:10] so now i think you have changed from kdm to gdm? this is strange [02:10] Is there a such thing as Kubuntu Software Center? [02:10] Tejyasn: what's happening ? [02:10] MarkSS: strictly speaking no [02:10] no i am still on kdm [02:10] dk12548: kdm and kde are not the same [02:10] !kdm [02:10] ohhhhhhhhh, what is kdm?? [02:11] Daskreech, the one with the Billy Mays speak says "/dev/sda1: unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually [02:11] k desktop environment? [02:11] KDM = KDE Display Manager; KDE = KDE Desktop Enviroment [02:11] then there is a mountall; fsck / [2769] terminated with status 4 [02:11] KDM launches KDE, Gnome or any other Desktop Enviroment [02:11] Tejyasn: oh Ok that's better. your file system got corrupted .. somehow [02:11] O_o [02:12] Oh that's not as good [02:12] that happens on linux? I thought that is why I ran away from windows? [02:12] Tejyasn: have a live CD ? or USB? [02:12] ohhhhh but isnt there gdm to lauch gde? EagleScreen_ [02:12] ummm.. what about "mountall: Filesystem has errors: /"? [02:12] I have tried live CD, it's no help... [02:13] i mean how can kdm launch gde? [02:13] unless you have a trick... [02:13] dk12548: both: GDM and KDM can launch both: Gnome & KDE [02:13] Tejyasn: what does that mean? [02:13] dk12548: I ma not sure which one are you using right now.. [02:13] Daskreech, I cannot install or run kubuntu from the CD [02:13] dk12548: uninstall gdm or both of them, kdm and gdm [02:13] oh, isnt there any command [02:14] oh ok [02:14] I get errorsm one's a glib [02:14] Tejyasn: on the CD ? [02:14] dk12548: sudo aptitude remove gdm [02:14] mmhmm [02:14] and reboot [02:14] let me call them up and transcribe... [02:14] * Daskreech raises eyebrow [02:14] k wait a moment i am doing that [02:15] Daskreech, want me to try installing or running? [02:15] I am on the liveCD [02:15] Tejyasn: running [02:15] Runni ng it is [02:15] wait [02:15] waiting [02:15] press F6 [02:15] pressed, I have options [02:16] You should get a long list of things at the bottom of the screen [02:16] that ends with a -- [02:16] You can use the left/right arrows and traverse it [02:16] VERY long [02:16] right [02:16] ok at the end BEFORE the -- put the word single [02:17] then run the live CD [02:17] after splash? [02:17] Right [02:17] so single -- ? [02:17] right [02:17] ok... running [02:18] * Daskreech waits anxiously [02:18] ok.. lets try his again, making sure "single" is written in. [02:18] No what happened? [02:18] How does KDESudo differ from sudo [02:19] Daskreech: Hia [02:19] elijah: it's tuned for Gui elements which can touch more files than a command line client will [02:20] Daskreech: thx [02:21] * Tejyasn` grumbles [02:21] it's actually loading.. [02:22] @Daskreech I have a desktop! [02:22] ok EagleScreen_ thanks. now i can seee the login screen but still my second problem persist [02:22] :-) Dirty CDs are the bane of my now floppy less exsistence [02:22] Tejyasn`: Bleah :) [02:22] ok open a Konsole === root is now known as Guest38963 [02:22] when i logout. it simply show a black screen [02:23] Opened [02:23] it doesnt logout me :( [02:23] Tejyasn`: ls /dev/sd* [02:23] Daskreech, there is a shiny penny in it for you of I don't have to re-install my drivers XD [02:23] dk12548: can you read anything in the black screen?

[02:29] dk12548: not sure if compiz or whatever you installed is the cause [02:30] your X server is the software which allow KDE, Gnome and so to run [02:30] hmmmm ubuntu people should include time machine :( [02:30] yes, they should [02:30] oh ok EagleScreen_ [02:30] Daskreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491345/ [02:30] dk12548: do you plan to use Gnome again? [02:31] so what i should do for that [02:31] yes of course [02:31] dk12548: Your X server provides you windows and mouse control [02:31] i want both desktops [02:31] dk12548: at least try uninstalling compiz [02:31] that does not look healthy [02:31] ok EagleScreen_ [02:31] Tejyasn`: no that's fine [02:31] and how? [02:31] oh... [02:31] you can't fsck swap [02:31] so it's telling you that [02:31] dk12548: sudo apt-get remove compiz-core [02:32] it's not fscked up? [02:32] sorry.... I saw the pun and had to take it [02:32] ok sudo fsck /dev/sda1 [02:32] ahahaha i fixed my mic [02:32] wasn't plugged in [02:32] jk [02:32] illunatic: whoooot :) [02:32] sudo-ing [02:32] i had to highlight capture in alamixer and press spacebar tho [02:32] Tejyasn`: :-) swap is always fscked up It's supposed to be [02:32] that was it. [02:32] ^5 [02:33] EagleScreen_: ok i have done it. [02:33] should i try to logout now? [02:33] dk12548: try rebooting [02:33] ok [02:33] and logout [02:33] wait [02:34] brb [02:34] 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.
