[00:12] <Walzmyn> I've downloaded a plasmoid via the "add widgets" option on the desktop - but I can't find it.
[01:47] <muesli> how can i permanently switch to webkit as my default rendering engine in konqueror?
[02:03] <gauda> muesli, as far as i know this is kubuntu maverick stuff so you better visit #ubuntu+1
[02:05] <muesli> gauda: thanks!
[02:19] <lazygeeknz> Hi I'm having a major apt issue. every single package i try to install gets stuck at "unpacking..."

[03:20] <Weldon> Hey guys... I installed ubuntu 10.04 on a windows box a week ago and couldn't figure out why I couldn't access an NTFS volume.  I'm thinking now that it's because it is dynamic, composed of a number of disks.  Are there any documents pointing out how to make this accessible to my linux installation?  Any help greatly appreciated!
[03:22] <phoenix_> does pulseaudio use alsa
[03:26] <EagleScreen> I think yes
[03:26] <Dragnslcr> Weldon- that probably isn't specific to Kubuntu, so you might try asking in #ubuntu (where there are more people than here)
[03:41] <daniele> ciao
[03:46] <Guest73474> Trying out Kubuntu 4.4 and testing the waters... wow, way different from the 3.5 I am was used to before switching to Gnome.
[03:47] <Guest73474> How do you install the much needed drivers.. wireless and video seem to be the only ones needed
[03:48] <Guest73474> hello?
[03:51] <Guest73474> I have been with KDE since '01 and lately Gnome for tha past 2 years. I have to say that Gnome is now eaier to use.
[03:51] <Guest73474> It's like I have to start all over again
[03:51] <Guest73474> Kubuntu sure looks good though
[03:52] <Guest73474> Is there any support tonight?
[04:07] <phoenix_> why pulseaudio is made default in kubuntu maverick meerkat, when they say pulseaudio is not good

[05:10] <MikieTimT> I upgraded my 10.04 VirtualBox VM with 10.10 Beta, and now I cannot get any resolution higher than 800X600.  How do I go about getting 1024X768 back?
[05:10] <MikieTimT> There seems to be no xorg.conf anymore.
[05:12] <MikieTimT> I've tried nomodeset and everything in VirtualBox to set 1024X768, but I still only get 800X600, which is tiny.

[07:19] <amol> hello  i am having trouble with my eeepc keyboard, like when press m it types m/ i press L it types L[. on login screen the keyboarb works fine. i am using eeepc 1000ha.
[07:20] <amol> usb keyboard works fine too.
[07:23] <amol> i have tried changing the keyboard layouts , somtimes it helps but after a reboot the problem is there again
[07:23] <amol> cant figure out if this is software or hardware problem
[07:38] <amol> keyboard is working fine
[07:59] <noaXess> good morning.. here it is 09.00 am
[08:00] <noaXess> i'm searching a software that can manage car spar parts.. any idea/hint?
[08:35] <Mamarok> noaXess: how about a MySQL database and using Kexi as a frontend?
[08:38] <noaXess> Mamarok: hey.. wasup? kexi? any link?
[08:38] <Mamarok> noaXess: well, Kexi is the default database frontend for KDE, it's in the repos
[08:39] <noaXess> aha.. ok.. see..
[08:39] <Mamarok> but of course you need to build the database yourself
[08:39] <Mamarok> it can't know beforehand what you need
[08:39] <Mamarok> my brother runs a spare parts departement in a big garage and they use MySQL
[08:40] <noaXess> hm. the problem is, that i need a software that has a default inventory of car spare parts ;).. there are solutions for windows.. but.. linux.. i haven't found any.. here is what the customer uses now.. http://www.birner.at/ don't look to strong to the webpage layout.. uaaaa
[08:40] <frogonwheels> MikieTimT:  xrandr
[08:40] <Mamarok> noaXess: if it is a MySQL database, it can be used in Linux, the database itself is what matters
[08:41] <Mamarok> aka the "default inventory" is a database
[08:41] <noaXess> Mamarok: i know.. but i don't know that they won't give the data without costs..
[08:41] <Mamarok> so if it is a MSAccess database you of course need to export that to SQL first
[08:42] <Mamarok> noaXess: so you really expect to get the database for free? Do you only have an idea how much work is behind that? I guess thwy want at least some invenstment back
[08:42] <Mamarok> such data is never for free
[08:42] <noaXess> Mamarok: i know.. but much work to get it into any other frontend..
[08:43] <Mamarok> noaXess: once you know the database structure, you can nbuild a frontend, frontend are always adaptable
[08:43] <noaXess> Mamarok: it's not the plan to get the data for free.. but the data need to be compatible..
[08:43] <Mamarok> and easy to make, but you need the database structure
[08:43] <noaXess> yes..
[08:43] <noaXess> so.. we will look forward for that..
[08:43] <Mamarok> well, if it is SQL it is adaptable
[08:44] <Mamarok> if it is Access or Oracle you can forget about
[08:44] <Mamarok> there are exporting tools, but it is usually a lot of work

[12:10] <omkar> battery time
[12:10] <omkar> ie battery consumption
[12:13] <omkar> can anyone please help
[12:20] <zegenie> omkar: battery time is unrealistic, so as far as I know, kde doesn't show it
[12:21] <zegenie> otherwise it should show up in the battery info widget (usually in the systray)
[12:21] <zegenie> if you really want to see it, here's how: http://hanschen.org/2010/03/14/remaining-time-in-the-battery-monitor-widget/
[12:22] <omkar> yeah
[12:22] <zegenie> you also have this widget: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Battery+Time+Remaining?content=123767
[12:23] <omkar> it generally shows in the systray but its not showing
[12:23] <zegenie> which you can install, showing battery time
[12:23] <omkar> ok
[12:23] <omkar> thanks
[12:23] <zegenie> is there a battery icon at all in the systray?

[14:57] <muesli> gauda: heh :)
[14:57] <staticvoid> i'm just goofy
[14:57] <joshua__> im homeschooled, from New Jersey
[14:57] <staticvoid> i was smoking weed by that time lol

[14:57] <joshua__> nice
[14:57] <staticvoid> how old r u mues?
[14:57] <muesli> 30 by now
[14:58] <staticvoid> WHEW! I was afraid everyone was a teenager
[14:59] <staticvoid> am i going to have to make a partition for this?
[14:59] <ILETS> how can i add dictionary or spelling check here ?
[14:59] <muesli> staticvoid: i would recommend it
[14:59] <staticvoid> but i don't want to mess up my pc
[15:00] <joshua__> I'm also a Boy Scout, I'm currently a star and only need 2 Merit Badges to get to Life
[15:00] <muesli> staticvoid: try a live cd instead
[15:00] <staticvoid> never done a partition before
[15:00] <joshua__> backup the hdd to dvdx
[15:00] <joshua__> dvds
[15:00] <Schnacki> ILETS: Spellcheck here in IRC?
[15:00] <staticvoid> i've done that
[15:00] <staticvoid> but that was when i first got it
[15:00] <ILETS> yeah here on IRC
[15:00] <muesli> staticvoid: so it depends. if you want to install it, yeah you need a live cd
[15:00] <muesli> errr
[15:01] <muesli> ignore that
[15:01] <muesli> staticvoid: so it depends. if you want to install it, yeah you need a partition
[15:01] <staticvoid> hehehee
[15:01] <FloodBotK2> muesli: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:01] <joshua__> oh, so you should make another, newer version
[15:01] <staticvoid> how do i do that?
[15:01] <muesli> the ubuntu installer should guide you through it
[15:01] <staticvoid> boys usually do that stuff for me so I never learned how
[15:02] <muesli> i can't recommend experimenting with it, tho. most likely you'll end up killing your windows install ;-)
[15:02] <staticvoid> not boys as in LITTLE boys lol
[15:02] <joshua__> instert a dvd into the disk slot and use any backup manager to copy everything onto the dvds
[15:02] <staticvoid> i know!
[15:02] <staticvoid> i don't want to do that
[15:02] <muesli> staticvoid: in general: you need to shrink an existing partition to make space for a new one
[15:03] <staticvoid> okay
[15:03] <muesli> then create a new partition and install linux to that fresh partition
[15:03] <joshua__> leave so white space too
[15:03] <staticvoid> k
[15:03] <Schnacki> ILETS: depends on what program you use
[15:03] <staticvoid> so how do i get to where i can do that?
[15:03] <joshua__> or just do what i did and install on a external hdd
[15:03] <ILETS> iam using konversation one's
[15:03] <muesli> staticvoid: the ubuntu installers can do that for you
[15:04] <Schnacki> ILETS: I wasn't finished yet. ;)
[15:04] <staticvoid> it can do what
[15:04] <staticvoid> shrink it?
[15:04] <Schnacki> ILETS: I was about to say: either way, I'm not sure about any tools supporting spell checking for IRC chat
[15:04] <staticvoid> if it's a media linux i want lots of space
[15:04] <ILETS> i can help you on that staticvoid
[15:04] <joshua__> what version of windows do u have (7, vista, etc.)?
[15:05] <Schnacki> ILETS: AFAIK Kopete supports IRC, too. There you can also configure spell checking
[15:05] <staticvoid> please do
[15:05] <muesli> ILETS: konversation does support it
[15:05] <staticvoid> 7
[15:05] <muesli> ILETS: right click the input field and enable spell checking
[15:05] <joshua__> good
[15:05] <joshua__> check this out: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=how+to+dual-boot+windows+7+with+linux&aq=2&aqi=g6&aql=&oq=how+to+dual-boot+&gs_rfai=CBnKc94CPTLTmOaCcoATy-pyhBQAAAKoEBU_QC0gG
[15:06] <Schnacki> muesli: woah... and once again I learned something of which I now remember that I should know it since... years. At the very least
[15:06]  * Schnacki shakes his head
[15:06] <muesli> Schnacki: you're welcome ;-)
[15:07] <Schnacki> ILETS: That tip from muesli works in much more KDE tools, too. Quassel for example
[15:07] <muesli> Schnacki: well, pretty much everywhere
[15:09] <joshua__> anyone know what version of GNOME ubuntu 10.10 will use?
[15:09] <ILETS> staticvoid , after you get your cd or dvd of linux just you have to reboot your pc
[15:09] <muesli> joshua__: i think it's still gonna be 2.31
[15:09] <ILETS> and then choice to boot from cd or dvd
[15:10] <joshua__> awsome, cause ubuntu 10.04 is 2.28
[15:11] <ILETS> the cd will guided to you to choose your language ,location and so
[15:11] <ILETS> when they ask you for partion then you have to becarefull
[15:12] <joshua__> very careful! if you created white-space and didn't put a partition in there, then choose that.
[15:12] <staticvoid> yes
[15:13] <joshua__> if you made a linux partition, you should choose that.
[15:13] <joshua__> DO NOT CHOOSE "USE ENTIRE DISK"!
[15:13] <ILETS> you have to move to manual selection so you will choice on which way you want to divided you HD
[15:13] <staticvoid> hehehehe
[15:13] <staticvoid> k
[15:14] <joshua__> « /win 1 »
[15:15] <ILETS> you will get new windows that will show you your partion after and before look at it and see what is will happend after your change
[15:16] <ILETS> before accept anything look at it more than two times
[15:16] <staticvoid> ok
[15:16] <ILETS> now how much your HD?
[15:16] <staticvoid> terabyte
[15:17] <ILETS> how much you would like to make for linux?
[15:19] <ILETS> calculate that and on your partion high light it then press Eidt
[15:19] <staticvoid> ummm
[15:19] <staticvoid> k
[15:20] <ILETS> let us say you want to make 40 gage  for linux
[15:20] <staticvoid> k
[15:21] <ILETS> so change your disk size to terabyte minus 40 gagebyte
[15:22] <ILETS> it will give you two partion now old one and new empty one's
[15:22] <staticvoid> can i keep this partition though?
[15:23] <staticvoid> should i just use this ubuntu partition and over write it?
[15:23] <ILETS> on empty one high light it and make new primary partion
[15:23] <staticvoid> k
[15:24] <joshua__> staticvoid: r u installing this on another pc or are u writing it down?
[15:24] <staticvoid> hehe i was on the phone
[15:24] <staticvoid> i'm just reading
[15:25] <staticvoid> I've seen it done before
[15:25] <ILETS> and keep aroud 4gagebyte for swab partion (40gage minus 4gage = your linux partion size)
[15:26] <staticvoid> i wish u could of emailed this to me
[15:26] <staticvoid> i can probably find out how somewhere online?
[15:26] <staticvoid> something has come up and I have to go
[15:26] <ILETS> ok see you later
[15:27] <staticvoid> thank u for ur help
[15:27] <ILETS> take care please
[15:27] <ILETS> you are welcome
[15:27] <staticvoid> i did remember most everything so u did not just waste ur time :)
[15:27] <ILETS> i hope so

[15:36] <ILETS> how are you?
[15:52] <sapphireliu> Hello world
[15:53] <sapphireliu> I`m new to here
[15:59] <lahwran> greetings, all! I have a popup problem. every 20 minutes or so, a small alert dialog will appear with the message "could not find service". I don't remember off the top of my head what the service is that it can't find though. any idea what might be going on?
[15:59] <lahwran> when it pops up again, I'll paste you guys the message
[16:01] <lahwran> ah, here we go. it says "starting KTTSD failed" in the main part of the window, and the title bar reads "Could not find service 'kttsd'. - Plasma W" and it's cut off
[16:07] <sapphireliu> i could not help
[16:10] <cenciu> hi. i have installed kde partition manager. how can i run the application now?
[16:10] <Jsvcycling1> I'm back
[16:10] <lahwran> http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3105407.0 <<< ooh, I have exactly the same setting turned on! but I actually WANT it to work. how do I install this service?
[16:11] <Jsvcycling1> never mind, got to go
[16:12] <DarthFrog> cenciu: Check the menu entries in System.
[16:12] <cenciu> DarthFrog: i can't find it. any terminal command?
[16:14] <DarthFrog> cenciu: yes, just "partitionmanager".
[16:14] <cenciu> DarthFrog: tnx
[16:15] <DarthFrog> cenciu: It's called "Partition Editor" in Applications/System menu.
[16:15] <lahwran> ahem. I'm going to whine and complain about not getting attention now.
[16:16] <cenciu> DarthFrog: yes, i know that,i don't like it... is slow
[16:16] <DarthFrog> lahwran: Won't do you any good, if no-one knows how to help you.
[16:17] <lahwran> DarthFrog: oh. right.
[16:17] <lahwran> I knew that I think
[16:21] <slow-motion> hi
[16:21] <cenciu> DarthFrog: how can i resize a partition , (or shrink it) i want to make one other partition (ntfs) ?
[16:22] <DarthFrog> cenciu: partitionmanager can do that.
[16:24] <cenciu> DarthFrog: yes, but i canceled the operation when it was like 40 %. now i can't see the partition at all. what can i do?
[16:24] <lahwran> slow-motion: low
[16:24] <DarthFrog> cenciu: Don't know, sorry.
[16:24] <cenciu> DarthFrog: thanks anyway...
[16:25] <DarthFrog> cenciu: If you haven't already done a backup, right now would be an excellent time to do one.
[16:26] <DarthFrog> Because you may need to restore from a backup in the very near future.

[16:56] <FlashDeluxe> Hi! Ive got a question, how can i copy data to a destination and delete automatically the first letter of all the files which have to be copied?
[16:59] <akSeya> hi there
[17:01] <akSeya> guys.. i just installed Kubuntu 10.04.1 .. i'm not able to do updates cause i'm behid a proxy.. when I set my proxy setting in SystemSettings, I click Apply, when I close the window and open it again, proxy settings are lost
[17:08] <akSeya> please.. anyone??
[17:23] <Artie_Ephem> Hi all, can anyone tell me how to change an expired password for a user (I essentially locked myself out...duh) - I came up in recovery mode and blanked out the password field in /etc/shadow, but I still can't log in as that user, still says password expired - I'm suspecting there's another security file somewhere that is preventing me from logging in
[17:25] <muesli> Artie_Ephem: login in recovery mode
[17:25] <DarthFrog> Artie_Ephem: Reboot into recovery mode.
[17:26] <muesli> Artie_Ephem: do "passwd username"
[17:26] <DarthFrog> Like he says. :-)
[17:30] <Artie_Ephem> ok, I think I tried that last night too, set the passwd for the user then tried to login but got the same message - I'll try again but won't be able to until later this afternoon - but is there any other files you know of that I'm missing?
[17:31] <akSeya> Artie_Ephem: you can also try a passwd <username> -u
[17:32] <akSeya> but "sudo passwd <username> <newpassword>" should work fine
[17:33] <DarthFrog> Artie_Ephem: You could also try using the "chage" command.  i.e "change age".
[17:35] <Artie_Ephem> I also tried to be sneaky and change the date in the bios, but they system wouldn't even come up enough for me to get a command prompt in recovery mode
[17:37] <Artie_Ephem> ok great, thanks all, I'll try your suggestions this afternoon and let you know how I make out
[17:42] <v3nd3tta``> kk i got a problem
[17:43] <v3nd3tta``> i have a strange partition
[17:43] <v3nd3tta``> it's 40 gb big and it has the label home but the partition with moint point /home is another one
[17:53] <sriramoman> in my kubuntu 10.04 (i am using kwin and KDE4.4) I notice all windows open up maximized. How do I disable this setting!
[17:56] <DarthFrog> sriramoman: Check what options are available in SystemSettings.
[17:59] <sriramoman> DarthFrog: I got the answer in another forum. Thank you. for ur reference, anyway, http://img716.imageshack.us/my.php?image=plasmadesktoplm5763.png <- dropdown Placement
[17:59] <skfin> Hi... Does anyone have a clue how to reset users locale settings.
[18:00] <skfin> Without qt-language-selector
[18:14] <v3nd3tta``> hey guys, i got a problem with my filesystems and partitons. 2 have the same uuid but in gparted they show up with different spaces and other specialities
[18:14] <v3nd3tta``> kubuntu 10.04 , no upgrade, but formatted ntfs drives a time ago
[18:15] <v3nd3tta``> !gparted
[18:17] <DarthFrog> v3nd3tta``:  You can use gparted, whichis a GNOME app.  Or partitionmanager, which is the KDE app.
[18:17] <v3nd3tta``> yeah i have gparted
[18:17] <DarthFrog> v3nd3tta``: They're both frontends to the parted program.
[18:17] <v3nd3tta``> but /dev/sda9 and /dev sda6 have same uuid
[18:18] <v3nd3tta``> how does that happen DarthFrog and how can i be sure which partition is which?
[18:18] <v3nd3tta``> http://paste.ubuntu.com/493738/
[18:19] <v3nd3tta``> ^^ sudo blkid of both partitions
[18:19] <v3nd3tta``> label: "oldhome" is mounted as "/home"
[18:19] <DarthFrog> Now that's cute.  How did you get them to have the same UUID? :-)
[18:20] <v3nd3tta``> idk but i also have a problem with 2 kde profiles of my desktop
[18:20] <DarthFrog> Can you mount them separately?  Do they have different contends?
[18:20] <DarthFrog> contents
[18:20] <v3nd3tta``> uhm i cannot mount the 2nd one label: home
[18:20] <v3nd3tta``> it does it automatically, even random
[18:20] <DarthFrog> I'm not following you.
[18:21] <v3nd3tta``> sometimes i have to reboot because 1 profile is older than the other
[18:21] <v3nd3tta``> kk it seems like "label: home" (with no mount point) is booting randomy the copied profile
[18:21] <DarthFrog> OK, gotcha.  Well, it's fairly easy to solve.
[18:22] <v3nd3tta``> but "label: oldhome" (with MountPoint: /home) has the right profile i think
[18:23] <DarthFrog> As root, edit the /etc/fstab file and change the filesystem record for /home from "UUID=" to "/dev/sda9"  or sda6, if you prefer.
[18:24] <v3nd3tta``> if i do sudo mount /dev/sda9 then /home has the contents of the old /home i don't want to have
[18:24] <v3nd3tta``> should i format /dev/sda9 ?
[18:24] <DarthFrog> no
[18:25] <DarthFrog> Do a backup of its contents first, in case you've made a mistake and have confused which partition is holding which date.
[18:25] <DarthFrog> data.
[18:25] <v3nd3tta``> okay
[18:25] <DarthFrog> Then format it.
[18:25] <v3nd3tta``> so sudo mount /dev/sda9 and copy every data :)
[18:26] <v3nd3tta``> oooh looul
[18:26] <v3nd3tta``> dolphin says it's the old content
[18:26] <v3nd3tta``> i mean
[18:26] <v3nd3tta``> the actual content
[18:26] <v3nd3tta``> but if i do ls ~
[18:26] <v3nd3tta``> it shows the one i don't want
[18:27] <DarthFrog> Yeah.  "sudo mkdir /save_my_ass".  "sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/disk"  "rsync -avv --progress /mnt/disk /save_my_ass"
[18:27] <v3nd3tta``> how do i copy per console everything?
[18:27] <v3nd3tta``> a complete dir?
[18:27] <DarthFrog> Rsync is your friend.
[18:28] <v3nd3tta``> arg
[18:29] <v3nd3tta``> mount point /mnt/disk doesnt exist
[18:29] <rork> or `cp -R dirname`
[18:29] <DarthFrog> You can use "cp -a <old dir> <new dir>" also but rsync is better.
[18:29] <DarthFrog> v3nd3tta``: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk
[18:31] <v3nd3tta``> omg so much unuseful stuff
[18:31] <v3nd3tta``> nepomuk -.-
[18:31] <v3nd3tta``> nepomuk database... needed veeery long :O
[18:31] <v3nd3tta``> okay
[18:31] <v3nd3tta``> .q3a/baseq3/pak0.pk3 :P
[18:49] <v3nd3tta``> so now it copied all
[18:49] <v3nd3tta``> now should i format /dev/sda9 ?
[18:50] <v3nd3tta``> DeathFrog ?
[18:51] <DarthFrog> Is it currently mounted?
[18:51] <v3nd3tta``> yep
[18:51] <DarthFrog> Then you won't be able to format it.
[18:52] <v3nd3tta``> uhm how to unmount per console command?
[18:52] <DarthFrog> You'll have to unmount it first.
[18:52] <DarthFrog> umount /dev/sda9
[18:52] <DarthFrog> that's not a mispelling, BTW.
[18:52] <DarthFrog> sudo umount /dev/sda9
[18:52] <v3nd3tta``> umount: cannot umount /dev/sda9 -- /dev/sda6 is mounted over it on the same point.
[18:52] <v3nd3tta``> arg i hate that
[18:52] <v3nd3tta``> reboot?
[18:52] <DarthFrog> Right, I expected that.
[18:53] <DarthFrog> Not yet.  Do the /etc/fstab editing I told you to do earlier.
[18:53] <v3nd3tta``> but there is no "label" "home"
[18:54] <v3nd3tta``> it's not even mounted
[18:54] <v3nd3tta``> i can give you my fstab output
[18:54] <v3nd3tta``> in paste
[18:54] <DarthFrog> Make sure that it's /dev/sda6 that is mounted and that /dev/sda9 is not mounted.  make sure that /dev/sda6 contains the real /home data that you wish to preserve.
[18:54] <v3nd3tta``> should i?
[18:54] <DarthFrog> OK.
[18:54] <DarthFrog> I have to leave very soon, BTW.
[18:55] <v3nd3tta``> uhm now reboot and then format?
[18:55] <DarthFrog> If you want and if you're sure that the correct partition is mounted on /home.
[18:56] <v3nd3tta``> http://paste.ubuntu.com/493762/
[18:56] <v3nd3tta``> my fstab, nothing of my /sda9 :)
[18:56] <v3nd3tta``> kk see ya, if i'm not online in 5 mins i got a livecd-problem :)
[18:56] <DarthFrog> It's the "UUID=<uuid>" that's the problem.
[18:56] <DarthFrog> Change it to:
[18:57] <DarthFrog>  /dev/sda6  /home     ext4    defaults 0    2
[18:57] <v3nd3tta``> kk see ya
[18:59] <Ertain> Hello everyone.  When I connect my external hard drive the kernel only sees that I have attached some USB device.
[19:00] <Ertain> But it doesn't make the proper device (/dev/sd*).
[19:05] <ColgateRaider> I was wondering how well aptosid does on a 2010 Macbook pro. I tried ubuntu but it uses the nvidia card by default and the whole laptop runs very hot.
[19:06] <ColgateRaider> I was wondering how well Kubuntu does on a 2010 Macbook pro. I tried ubuntu but it uses the nvidia card by default and the whole laptop runs very hot.
[19:31] <gauda> ColgateRaider: so why dont you disable the nvidia driver?
[19:32] <ColgateRaider> gauda: what good is that going to do?
[19:32] <ColgateRaider> distributions dont recognize the intel card at all.
[19:34] <gauda> i see
[19:34] <ColgateRaider> I just find it hard to believe there has been no progress on the linux world for the lastest dynamic switching MBPs
[19:35] <gauda> well, imho that is not the main target of kubuntu
[19:39] <gauda> ColgateRaider since this is not kubuntu specific you better ask in #ubuntu ?
[20:29] <x3cion> Hello, I've a strange problem and maybe you can help me or point me somewhere else. I try to connect to a wlan AP wich has WPA1 + WPA2 enabled. the laptop i try it with has a broadcom 4318 chipset. When I tried it with NetworkManager, it seems to time out. When I tried it with wicd, it said authentication failed.
[20:44] <negas> hi!, how can i update to kde 4.5.2 beta?, im using kubuntu 10.0.4
[20:54] <Bucky> hi. when i shut down kubuntu, i see that there are error messages, but they suddenly go away, before i could read them. there is somewhere a log file that i can read?
[21:07] <Sprite> Hi! does anyone know if Docky works on Kubuntu?
[21:19] <negas> sasa
[21:37] <chalcedony> where does the kweather icon show up on your desktop in 10.04?
[22:00] <cato37> everything in ktorrent went to stalled, and hasnt changed. how do i fix it?
[22:04] <real_ate> hi guys. i'm having an issue and was hoping someone here could help me out! I installed kubuntu-desktop after installing (vanilla) ubuntu
[22:05] <real_ate> but now I can't shutdown from Kubuntu
[22:05] <real_ate> and when I click "Switch User" it just locks screen and doesn't actually allow me to switch users
[22:06] <real_ate> The only way I could figure out how to switch user was to run gnome-panel and use that to switch users
[22:06] <real_ate> ... but obviously this is not the ideal solution
[22:07] <real_ate> anyone know how I can enable the shutdown button and make it so that I can switch users ?
[22:09] <hlshah> Hi all, I am new to kubuntu and started getting this error "Phonon : HDA intel ADL 262 not working". I managed to read a few threads but did not really understand how the problem could be solved! Any help?
[22:15] <DarthFrog> hlshah: Is sound working?
[22:24] <hlshah> sound is working
[22:24] <hlshah> but the microphone is not...
[22:25] <DarthFrog> If sound is working, ignore the Phonon message.
[22:25] <hlshah> but how to get the mic to work?
[22:26] <hlshah> sound recorder does not show any activity...
[22:26] <DarthFrog> As for the mike, you'll likely want to play with the mixer settings.
[22:26] <hlshah> tried all I could...any suggestions?
[22:26] <DarthFrog> No, sorry.
[22:27] <DarthFrog> Other than to ask the obvious question:  Is it plugged in?  :-)
[22:27] <hlshah> its inbuilt....
[22:28] <hlshah> any alternatives that can be installed to make it work?
[22:28] <hlshah> skype is useless without mic!
[22:29] <SOSTEK> HI
[22:29] <cato37> is there an alternative to ktorrent? everything i try with it stalls?
[23:02] <Artie_Ephem> Hi all, I'm trying to get my user account active again - it appears the password isn't the problem, but the fact that the account is now showing as expired. when I ran chage -l --<user>, it indicated that my account had expired yesterday, which would explain why I can't login... so I tried chage -E --expiredate 2012-12-31 <user> but it just comes back with the help menu. any suggestions?
[23:13] <fliegenderfrosch> Artie_Ephem: you should _either_ use -E or --expiredate, not both
[23:14] <fliegenderfrosch> -E is just a shortcut
[23:16] <Artie_Ephem> aaah! ok thanks, I'll give it a try
[23:24] <Artie_Ephem> awesome fliegenderfrosch, that did the trick. many thanks!
[23:25] <fliegenderfrosch> no problem :)
[23:36] <gverig> Did I go nuts or does http://www.kubuntu.org/ just say "OK"?
[23:37] <gverig> wtf?
[23:41] <rork> gverig: it's normal now
[23:41] <gverig> rork: yup...
[23:41] <gverig> what was it?
[23:42] <rork> could be maintainance or smth
