cato37is anyone having problems with ktorrent? everything is stalled and when i purge it, i still get all the idiot changes that i made to it. how do i set everything back to original settings?00:08
gverigStupid question... For laptop OS, desktop, primary machine, developer (java/C++/other), some browsing and what not- what do you think is better between [XK]*ubuntu? Why? Some background: I have been using Ubuntu for several years, comfortable with linux, etc. Just wanted to see if anybody thought there is a sufficient reason for me to try other guys or  just do "if it works don't fix it" thing.00:09
sithlord48cato37: i don't use ktorrent often but when i do it seams to work just fine00:10
sithlord48gverig: what desktop do you prefer?00:11
gverigsithlord48: Do you mean between KDE and Gnome? As I said, I've been using Gnome for past X years and I haven't tried KDE in a WHILE00:12
cato37it worked fine until about three days ago. i messed around with the settings. when i tried to uninstall it, purge it, and reinstall it, all the settings were still saved. i dont know the right question to ask to look online to find info on how to wipe all the info so that ktorrent reinstalls fresh, and with the original settings.00:12
gverigAnd it has changed a lot...00:12
sithlord48gverig: yea i re read taht was gonna tell you, that you can install them side by side, and choose desktop @ login00:12
ObfuscateIt's likely you know already, but just to be sure... kubuntu.org/ returns a plain text page with the contents "OK".00:13
sithlord48cato37: did you del your ktorrentrc file (think its in ~/.kde/apps/share/config/)00:14
sithlord48cato37: the purge should have done that.. but its worth checking since its where you settings are00:14
gverigsithlord48: right, two problems with that. 1) last time I did them both got app menues to polluted with each other apps it wasn't funny and 2) I am looking for a reason to try KDE. "tias" is not a reason :p . Basically, do you feel it's vastly superior/different or is it just "yeah, flip a coin..."00:15
cato37sithlord48: thanx. i will try it.00:15
sithlord48gverig: yes it does taht00:17
gverigsithlord48: then it's easier to set up different partitions and then have shared home/opt/watever partitions. The second part remains- do you feel there is a reason for me to spend few days (since that's at least what it will take to really try a new desktop) on KDE or is Gnome as good?00:18
ObfuscateAre any devs around? If so, see my above message.00:20
macoObfuscate: yes, Riddell just came back and said "who broke kubuntu.org?" and i told him flatmates exist to be blamed00:21
Obfuscateok, fair enough. I just wanted to make sure someone capable of fixing it was informed.00:21

zegenienp10:26
smoophI would like to have a repsitory with older, special versions of kontact be prefered to the original ones ... how can I set the priority of a whole repositry ?11:56
zegeniesmooph: if you just pin the version of kontact to be used with a package from another repository (something that is possible at least via synaptic)12:01
zegeniewouldn't that in essence have the same effect, as none of the related packages would then be updated?12:01
smoophzegenie: sorry I don't understand ...would what have the same effect as what?12:11
zegenieyou said you'd like to have a repository with older special versions of kontact be preferred12:13
smoophyes12:13
zegeniein synaptics, you can select a specific version to be kept installed and not upgraded, and if you pick the one from that specific repository, you can update the selection if it ever is updated in the repository12:13
zegeniesynaptic*12:13
smoophohh ok now I understand12:14
smoophthis sort of also works but than I would have to check it from time to time right ?12:14
zegeniesmooph: yes you would12:21
zegeniethere might be a different (and better approach) but that's at least one that works :)12:21

FlashDeluxeIts complicated ;) but i have the solution16:01
DarthFrogGood stuff.16:01
FlashDeluxeTo clone a Debian machine using aptitude (or install your favourite packages) use aptitude search -F '%100p' '~i!~M' > package_list; on the reference machine; xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < package_list; aptitude install; on the other machine.  This preserves information about "automatically installed" packages that other methods do not.  See also <reinstall>, <things to backup>. <debian clone>16:01

gmiernickihello, i need help with kde network manager, i just want to use /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf to manager the network myself for my machine, and completely disable kde network manager.... how do i do this?21:31
=== James147_ is now known as James147
James147gmiernicki: to stop network-manager from starting you can edit /etc/init/network-manager.conf     editing the line: start on (local-filesystems and started dbus)21:34
James147^^ to start on (never and local-filesystems and started dbus)21:34
v3nd3tta``yay James147 is back :D21:34
James147gmiernicki: you may also add "Autostart=false" (or somthing similar, cant remember exactly :)  )  yo ~/.kde/share/config/networkmanagementrc21:37
James147that will stop knetworkmanager from starting (or at least should)21:37
gmiernickii uninstalled the plasma-widget-networkmanager and made that change to my /etc/init/network-manager.conf21:38
gmiernickiwill see how that goes after a reboot21:38
k0shi21:41
gmiernickidoing a ifconfig -a, seems like i got an ip address, and my gateway and dns are set correctly21:41
gmiernickicant even ping my local gateway tho.... i know the link is actvie cuz i can see a blinking light on my network card21:42
gmiernickifeels like the network is somehow disabled21:43
gmiernickii hate kde network manager :(21:43
James147gmiernicki: shouldnt be network-manager if you disabled it21:46
James147(status network-manager    should show you if it is21:46
James147gmiernicki: and if it is disabled, then its most likly an error in the configs... but I dont know much about them :)21:47
gmiernicki(status network-manager  <~~ ???21:49
gmiernickiis there something i can do from a konsole/21:49
gmiernickijust ran down to the network center and seems i got a blinking node there in the switch21:50
James147gmiernicki: "status network-manager" from konsole should trll you if its running21:50
gmiernickistop/waiting21:51
gmiernickiis the status21:51
James147gmiernicki: then its not running and is not whats causing you problems21:51
James147(assuming you wanted it disabled)21:51
gmiernickiif its off... then ifconfig eth0 down should work, right?21:52
James147gmiernicki: ...should... but I dont know much about maunally configuring the network21:52
gmiernickithats the only way i know how to do it ;D21:53
gmiernickii dont understand the added complexity of the kde network manager21:53
gmiernickiit should modify /etc/network/interfaces directly21:53
Buckyhi. i've noticed that whe the sys is shutting down appear some errors advices, but they go away too quickly to read them. there is a log file wich i could read? thanks21:53
gmiernickibut i dont know what it does21:53
James147gmiernicki: generally it just works (at elast for me)  :D21:53
gmiernickiyeh, did for me too, when on dhcp... they've witched the network here tho, and i need to staticly configure it21:54
James147gmiernicki: also, dosnt down turn off the entwork interface, up brings it back21:54
gmiernickiwhich i tried to do in the network manager, but it never worked21:54
gmiernickiso, im back to trying it the old fashion way21:54
gmiernickiyes, i was just confirming if that command should work ;)21:54
James147gmiernicki: also note that it should work even if network-manager is running, is it giving you an error?21:56
gmiernickiwell, i cant ping my gateway... so id say thats a bad sign21:57
gmiernickinot sure what u mean by errors tho...21:57
Vardanpeople I have installed kubuntu 10.10 beta release and have such kind of problem. For example when I open rekonq the system says that there are some extra packages that I may need to install I click details it's showing packages names I click install, then the system ask my password I type password and every time it shows up this message "The package "" has not been found among your software sources. Therefore, it cannot be installed." what is the problem?21:59
James147gmiernicki: you questioned if ifconfig ... down should work, so I assumed it wasent?22:00
James147Vardan: refresh the repo lists (in kpackagekit on the software updates tab, or from a terminal type: sudo aptitude update  )22:01
James147Vardan: also note that maverick (10.10) support is on #ubuntu+122:01
Vardanah, ok, thanks22:01
u1106-laptopgmiernicki: didn't see the discussion from the beginning, but note that there a 3 levels of network management. 1.) ifconfig 2.) /etc/network/interfaces anf ifup / ifdown 3.) network manager22:02
Vardankubuntu's too?22:02
James147Vardan: yeah, there wouldnt be enough people to split it to seperate cannels22:02
James147channels22:02
gmiernickijames, i wasn't getting any response from that command, which led me to believe it wasnt working...22:03
u1106-laptopnetwork manager is not KDE specifc, it's the same in Ubuntu /Gnome22:03
James147gmiernicki: as a general rule: comands only output on error (unless they are ment to show something) so no output means success22:03
u1106-laptopbut knetworkmanager is KDE-specific. It's only a GUI without any depper logic inside22:04
gmiernickiu1106-laptop: thats good to know... if got everything setup correctly now in 1) ifconfig eth0 up 2) /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf 3) and in kde system-settings network... however in the last... it says network is never used22:04
gmiernickiso, im not sure how to enable it, i may just need to fix that22:04
VardanJames147: sudo aptitude update not helped :(22:04
James147(also putting -v on a command will make it tell you more, at elast most commands)22:04
James147u1106-laptop: he disabled network-manager and wants to configure it manually, but seems to be having a problem pining his router22:05
James147Vardan: did it error?22:05
Vardannope22:05
gmiernickimaybe i just need to un (stop/waiting) the status of network manager?22:05
James147Vardan: meh, then "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-restricted-extras"  should install everything that message wanted22:06
u1106-laptopgmiernicki: you have to decide which one to use. I don't think mixing any combination of those 3 will lead to success22:06
Vardanok, thanks22:06
u1106-laptopgmiernickl: what do you get from "ps -e | grep etwork"22:07
gmiernickithe simplest approach for me is to use /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf ... however, i think i missed something in the other 2 which are preventing this approach from working22:07
gmiernickiNetworkManager is now running (just started it from /etc/init.d/network-manager start)22:08
gmiernickii guess i should kill that tho22:08
Vardanpeople what do you think is 10.10 32bit have less bugs then 10.10 64bit?22:08
u1106-laptop/etc/resolv.conf has nothing to with not being able to ping your gateway22:09
gmiernickiim aware ;)22:09
u1106-laptopwell I assume you ping it using an IP address22:09
u1106-laptopgood :)22:09
James147gmiernicki: (for you infomation you can run "[start|stop|status] network-manager" insteat of "/etc/init.d/network-manager [start|stop|status}"22:09

nymphaeaceaeok, I think I found what's been freezing my system, ktorrent seems to lock my system up after an unknown/random amount of time.  I am at a complete loss, any ideas?22:50
=== IdleOp is now known as IdleOne
nymphaeaceaetake that as a "no"23:00
James147nymphaeaceae: mught help if you discribe your problem in more detail23:00
nymphaeaceaethat's the problem...23:01
nymphaeaceaethe best detail I can give is I have two torrents running, and after an undetermined amount of time, my entire system will go into complete freeze.  no keystrokes, no mouse, nothing but a cold reboot23:02
James147nymphaeaceae: what do you mean by locking up? ram or cpu (or something else) being taking over? (and by what process)23:02
nymphaeaceaeI can't tell.23:02
James147nymphaeaceae: complete freeze, or just incredbly laggy?23:03
nymphaeaceaescreen is on, but I can't talk to my system anymore.  none of my keystrokes go through, no mouse movement or clicking.  Even the "thinking light" goes dark23:03
nymphaeaceaeit's as if she just.. stops thinking..23:04
James147nymphaeaceae: thinking light? do you mean the hdd activity light on the case?23:04
nymphaeaceaeyeah.. I call it the thinking light.. sorry.23:04
James147:D23:04
nymphaeaceaeit's my main way of knowing if the system is thinking too hard, or just brain-dead..23:05
James147(its more like the remembering light... but anyway ;) ...)23:05
nymphaeaceaein this case.. it's like pure catatonia.  lights are on, but nobody is home..23:05
nymphaeaceaeone sec.. getting pulled outside....23:06
nymphaeaceaesorry about that23:28
James147nymphaeaceae: what version of kde (and kubuntu) are you using?23:29
nymphaeaceae10.04, not gonna use the new one until she's out of beta23:30
James147nymphaeaceae: and I take it kde 4.4.2?23:30
nymphaeaceaeshould be..23:30
nymphaeaceaeunless it changed on me and I wasn't looking.23:31
James147nymphaeaceae: you could try upgrading to 4.5.1 (see topic on how), its brourght about quite a few bug fixes... Alternatively (or in addition) you could try disabling strigi (system settings > advanced > nepomuk... if i remember right)23:32
James147nymphaeaceae: other then that I suggest you try collecting more info on whats actually happening,23:32
nymphaeaceae...23:32
nymphaeaceaeI'll pass on the "more info" as that requires more cold reboots.23:33
=== scott_ is now known as Guest34219
James147nymphaeaceae: afraid I cannot really help more then that with out more info  :(23:33
* nymphaeaceae glares at her system23:33
olskolircany decent webcam software out there for logitech 420?  not "cheese".23:34
James147nymphaeaceae: what ever you do, testing it might require cold reboots, if it dosnt work ;)23:34
nymphaeaceaehttp://kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-45 is the right one, ja?23:34
James147nymphaeaceae: yup, taht should take you to 4.5.123:35
=== Guest34219 is now known as ScottyK
nymphaeaceaesweet23:35
James147(cant say doing so will cure your problems, might cause some more... but its the only thing I can think of that might help without more info)23:36
nymphaeaceaewell..  for some unknown reason, I can't get that page to load proper..23:39
nymphaeaceaeand the second I say something about it....23:39
James147:D23:39
nymphaeaceaeok.. this raises a whole new question set... Blocked updates?23:45
James147nymphaeaceae: "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade"   kpackagekit cannot install them :(23:46
nymphaeaceaedouble ampersand?23:46
James147nymphaeaceae: the 'blocked updates' are updates that requre a new package to be isntalled, or an old one to be removed, kpackagekit wont let you install them :(23:46
nymphaeaceaeah23:46
James147nymphaeaceae: && means if the first command was succesful run the second23:47
nymphaeaceaeoh... that's handy to know ^_^23:47
James147nymphaeaceae: it is :) likewise, ||  is the similar23:47
nymphaeaceaeI've heard of piping, just not the double ampersand.23:48
James147nymphaeaceae: || will run the first, and only run the second on a failuer (useful for "command || exit 1" in a script)23:48
James147nymphaeaceae: you probally mean the single | which takes the output from one program and puts it on the input to the next23:49
nymphaeaceae|| is "if not" && is "if and"?23:49
James147nymphaeaceae: sorta, or at least thats teh way it can be used.... not sure on whats its actually ment for, but I think it might be for if expresstions (if x || y then...   but the way bash evaulates them means you can use them like above, ie, if x is true then there is no point in running the y in x || y as it will always be true... same for &&)... but thats just from my limited mucking around23:51
nymphaeaceaeno.. I've heard of the ||, because a friend of mine used it alot in his tests as a "GTFO" clause..23:51
nymphaeaceaehehehe23:52
James147nymphaeaceae: essentially, || means or and && means and23:57
nymphaeaceaethis from an official place? XD23:57
James147(if you hadent already guessed)  :)23:57
James147nymphaeaceae: probally :)23:59
nymphaeaceaeheheh23:59
