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] does pulseaudio use alsa [03:26] I think yes [03:26] Weldon- that probably isn't specific to Kubuntu, so you might try asking in #ubuntu (where there are more people than here) [03:41] ciao === ghost is now known as Guest73474 [03:46] 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.

[08:38] noaXess: well, Kexi is the default database frontend for KDE, it's in the repos [08:39] aha.. ok.. see.. [08:39] but of course you need to build the database yourself [08:39] it can't know beforehand what you need [08:39] my brother runs a spare parts departement in a big garage and they use MySQL [08:40] 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] MikieTimT: xrandr [08:40] noaXess: if it is a MySQL database, it can be used in Linux, the database itself is what matters [08:41] aka the "default inventory" is a database [08:41] Mamarok: i know.. but i don't know that they won't give the data without costs.. [08:41] so if it is a MSAccess database you of course need to export that to SQL first [08:42] 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] such data is never for free [08:42] Mamarok: i know.. but much work to get it into any other frontend.. [08:43] noaXess: once you know the database structure, you can nbuild a frontend, frontend are always adaptable [08:43] Mamarok: it's not the plan to get the data for free.. but the data need to be compatible.. [08:43] and easy to make, but you need the database structure [08:43] yes.. [08:43] so.. we will look forward for that.. [08:43] well, if it is SQL it is adaptable [08:44] if it is Access or Oracle you can forget about [08:44] there are exporting tools, but it is usually a lot of work === luciano is now known as Reptile [08:50] ciao [08:50] !list [08:50] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[16:59] hi there [17:01] 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 === Authority_ is now known as Authority [17:08] please.. anyone?? [17:23] 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] Artie_Ephem: login in recovery mode [17:25] Artie_Ephem: Reboot into recovery mode. [17:26] Artie_Ephem: do "passwd username" [17:26] Like he says. :-) [17:30] 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] Artie_Ephem: you can also try a passwd -u [17:32] but "sudo passwd " should work fine [17:33] Artie_Ephem: You could also try using the "chage" command. i.e "change age". [17:35] 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] ok great, thanks all, I'll try your suggestions this afternoon and let you know how I make out [17:42] kk i got a problem [17:43] i have a strange partition [17:43] it's 40 gb big and it has the label home but the partition with moint point /home is another one === tux_ is now known as WildTux [17:53] 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] sriramoman: Check what options are available in SystemSettings. [17:59] 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] Hi... Does anyone have a clue how to reset users locale settings. [18:00] Without qt-language-selector === erk_ is now known as erk [18:14] 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] kubuntu 10.04 , no upgrade, but formatted ntfs drives a time ago [18:15] !gparted [18:15] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [18:17] v3nd3tta``: You can use gparted, whichis a GNOME app. Or partitionmanager, which is the KDE app. [18:17] yeah i have gparted [18:17] v3nd3tta``: They're both frontends to the parted program. [18:17] but /dev/sda9 and /dev sda6 have same uuid [18:18] how does that happen DarthFrog and how can i be sure which partition is which? [18:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/493738/ [18:19] ^^ sudo blkid of both partitions [18:19] label: "oldhome" is mounted as "/home" [18:19] Now that's cute. How did you get them to have the same UUID? :-) [18:20] idk but i also have a problem with 2 kde profiles of my desktop [18:20] Can you mount them separately? Do they have different contends? [18:20] contents [18:20] uhm i cannot mount the 2nd one label: home [18:20] it does it automatically, even random [18:20] I'm not following you. [18:21] sometimes i have to reboot because 1 profile is older than the other [18:21] kk it seems like "label: home" (with no mount point) is booting randomy the copied profile [18:21] OK, gotcha. Well, it's fairly easy to solve. [18:22] but "label: oldhome" (with MountPoint: /home) has the right profile i think [18:23] 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] if i do sudo mount /dev/sda9 then /home has the contents of the old /home i don't want to have [18:24] should i format /dev/sda9 ? [18:24] no [18:25] 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] data. [18:25] okay [18:25] Then format it. [18:25] so sudo mount /dev/sda9 and copy every data :) [18:26] oooh looul [18:26] dolphin says it's the old content [18:26] i mean [18:26] the actual content [18:26] but if i do ls ~ [18:26] it shows the one i don't want [18:27] Yeah. "sudo mkdir /save_my_ass". "sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/disk" "rsync -avv --progress /mnt/disk /save_my_ass" [18:27] how do i copy per console everything? [18:27] a complete dir? [18:27] Rsync is your friend. [18:28] arg [18:29] mount point /mnt/disk doesnt exist [18:29] or `cp -R dirname` [18:29] You can use "cp -a " also but rsync is better. [18:29] v3nd3tta``: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk [18:31] omg so much unuseful stuff [18:31] nepomuk -.- [18:31] nepomuk database... needed veeery long :O [18:31] okay [18:31] .q3a/baseq3/pak0.pk3 :P [18:49] so now it copied all [18:49] now should i format /dev/sda9 ? [18:50] DeathFrog ? [18:51] Is it currently mounted? [18:51] yep [18:51] Then you won't be able to format it. [18:52] uhm how to unmount per console command? [18:52] You'll have to unmount it first. [18:52] umount /dev/sda9 [18:52] that's not a mispelling, BTW. [18:52] sudo umount /dev/sda9 [18:52] umount: cannot umount /dev/sda9 -- /dev/sda6 is mounted over it on the same point. [18:52] arg i hate that [18:52] reboot? [18:52] Right, I expected that. [18:53] Not yet. Do the /etc/fstab editing I told you to do earlier. [18:53] but there is no "label" "home" [18:54] it's not even mounted [18:54] i can give you my fstab output [18:54] in paste [18:54] 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] should i? [18:54] OK. [18:54] I have to leave very soon, BTW. [18:55] uhm now reboot and then format? [18:55] If you want and if you're sure that the correct partition is mounted on /home. [18:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/493762/ [18:56] my fstab, nothing of my /sda9 :) [18:56] kk see ya, if i'm not online in 5 mins i got a livecd-problem :) [18:56] It's the "UUID=" that's the problem. [18:56] Change it to: [18:57] /dev/sda6 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 [18:57] kk see ya [18:59] Hello everyone. When I connect my external hard drive the kernel only sees that I have attached some USB device. [19:00] But it doesn't make the proper device (/dev/sd*). === sven is now known as Guest84297 [19:05] I was wondering how well aptosid does on a 2010 Macbook pro.

[19:32] gauda: what good is that going to do? [19:32] distributions dont recognize the intel card at all. [19:34] i see [19:34] I just find it hard to believe there has been no progress on the linux world for the lastest dynamic switching MBPs [19:35] well, imho that is not the main target of kubuntu [19:39] ColgateRaider since this is not kubuntu specific you better ask in #ubuntu ? === jumadeca is now known as koj1r0 === v3nd3tta is now known as v3nd3tta`` === x3 is now known as x3cion [20:29] 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] hi!, how can i update to kde 4.5.2 beta?, im using kubuntu 10.0.4 [20:54] 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] Hi! does anyone know if Docky works on Kubuntu? [21:19] sasa [21:37] where does the kweather icon show up on your desktop in 10.04? === ipunk is now known as Kills [22:00] everything in ktorrent went to stalled, and hasnt changed. how do i fix it? [22:04] 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] but now I can't shutdown from Kubuntu [22:05] and when I click "Switch User" it just locks screen and doesn't actually allow me to switch users [22:06] The only way I could figure out how to switch user was to run gnome-panel and use that to switch users [22:06] ... but obviously this is not the ideal solution [22:07] anyone know how I can enable the shutdown button and make it so that I can switch users ? [22:09] 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] hlshah: Is sound working? [22:24] sound is working [22:24] but the microphone is not... [22:25] If sound is working, ignore the Phonon message. [22:25] but how to get the mic to work? [22:26] sound recorder does not show any activity... [22:26] As for the mike, you'll likely want to play with the mixer settings. [22:26] tried all I could...any suggestions? [22:26] No, sorry. [22:27] Other than to ask the obvious question: Is it plugged in? :-) [22:27] its inbuilt.... [22:28] any alternatives that can be installed to make it work? [22:28] skype is useless without mic! [22:29] HI [22:29] is there an alternative to ktorrent? everything i try with it stalls? === volkan is now known as vlk4n [23:02] 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 --, 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 but it just comes back with the help menu. any suggestions? === max is now known as Guest53520 [23:13] Artie_Ephem: you should _either_ use -E or --expiredate, not both [23:14] -E is just a shortcut [23:16] aaah! ok thanks, I'll give it a try [23:24] awesome fliegenderfrosch, that did the trick. many thanks! [23:25] no problem :) [23:36] Did I go nuts or does http://www.kubuntu.org/ just say "OK"? [23:37] wtf? [23:41] gverig: it's normal now === emma_ is now known as emma [23:41] rork: yup...
