[00:00] nymphaeaceae: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Lists might be of intreast [00:01] (and I might be mixing up c and bash abit in my explnations :D ) [00:01] nah.. that looks like it involves reading.. [00:03] its only that one section, not too long :) [00:03] meh.. [00:08] good lord this is taking forever.. [00:10] nymphaeaceae: you are basically having to download all of kde :S [00:10] oh [00:10] that explains that [00:10] (execpt maby the icons...) [00:14] should I replace configuration files? [00:14] nymphaeaceae: if you havent modified them [00:15] it's been modified by either myself or a script since installation.. [00:15] so no then? [00:15] nymphaeaceae: ... I would say yes, unless you ahve explictly modified themy yourself [00:16] if I loose something I like.. I'll be very cross... [00:16] ^_^ [00:16] (or say yes, note the files, and reapply the changes you made) [00:16] nymphaeaceae: :) well what file is it asking to be replaced? [00:17] ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [00:17] grrr,,, [00:17] /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc [00:18] that's a standard choice when upgrading, nymphaeaceae , it shouldn't harm your upgrade [00:18] so yes, then? [00:18] thats only the login screen, I generally replace that one when it asks me :) you can reapply changes via system settings > login screen if you made any (if not then you wont really notice anything) [00:19] so if I have a custom one I have to reapply it, that mostly it? [00:19] however if you have ppas then they may be out of date after your upgrade [00:19] login and boots? [00:19] eep? [00:20] nymphaeaceae: you might have to reapply a theme (the themes wont be removed)... cant remeber if i actually had to do taht or not though... [00:21] oh.. ok.. [00:21] nymphaeaceae: yeah, looking at it, it seems to store the settings you can edit via system settings > login manager [00:21] nymphaeaceae: shouldnt really make much different if you say yes or no if you havnt changed anything there [00:22] only have a custom login screen and following boot-page [00:23] nymphaeaceae: then its up to you if you want to replace it or not :) [00:23] might as well.. [00:27] well.. gonna let things sit, head home, and see what needs re-customizing.. [00:39] has anyone else had problems with the recent kernel causing really bad swap behaviour? [00:40] I get OOM constantly on a machine with 4G of ram and 9G of swap [00:42] I get stuff like this on dmesg: [00:42] [285986.903893] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Failed to allocate SKB buffer with GFP_ATOMIC.

[03:50] I'm reading the Linux Security HOWTO, and a thumb rule says: if you dont know the service, then its not needed [03:50] aka security risk [04:06] According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB I need to add myself to the vboxusers group, but this group does not exist <.< [04:15] Kage, what happens if you type groups? [04:15] chuck@fate:~$ groups [04:15] chuck adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [04:19] and grep vbox /etc/group does nothing? [04:19] Ah, I see the problem: Note: Only the non-free version has USB support at present. [04:19] I have the OSE [04:21] Kinda sucks.... meh [04:22] it doesnt sound like its important. just use usb outside the box [04:24] Matisse: I am experimenting with creating USB bootable drives [04:24] <.< [04:24] ah, ok [04:25] Sleeping pills are working faster then I thought they would [04:25] I feel like I might pass out any seconds [04:26] Getting harder to hit the right keys...

I tried installing both but i only get one choice on the login, kubuntu-netbook [04:39] and it is simply labeled "kde" [04:48] so in other words, i want two entries on the login that allow me to choose between the regular kubuntu desktop and kubuntu-netbook. anyone have an idea how to? [05:15] sorry ... what is the Ubuntu channel? [06:00] Can anyone help me with a partitioning question? [06:02] I'm wondering if I can install a netbook remix on a really small partition to simulate how it might run on a limited processor [06:12] i think you can do it with wubi [06:13] netbook is an option and it gives you the size, so you should see if the partition size you want is available in the drop down list for GB [06:21] Hi [06:21] guys. I have an 80 gb partition. Im not able to use it. It shows up on dolphin but its mounted in /media . How do I use it? [06:22] did you mount it manually? [06:22] Created it while installing kubuntu [06:22] im able to access it via konsole and modify it [06:24] so you told kubuntu install dialog to mount it for you? [06:24] yes [06:24] mmmm [06:25] what you want is the partition to apppear in dolphin's side panel? [06:26] it appears there. but there is a single directory called lost+found and im not able to create files/folders etc [06:26] what format is the partition? [06:27] I dont remember. [06:27] Most probably ext4. [06:28] could you give me the output [06:28] Small chances of ext3 or fat32 or ntfs. [06:28] Wait ill check [06:28] of df -h [06:28] the message got broken :P [06:28] I meant the output of df -h [06:29] http://pastebin.ca/1941876 [06:30] dev/sda7 [06:31] is sda7 the partition you are trying to access? [06:32] yes [06:32] it seems to be almost empty does it have something? [06:32] an empty folder lsot + found [06:33] can you see this partition in dolphin side panel? [06:34] http://pastebin.ca/1941877 this output comes if i try to open it in konsole. [06:34] that's ok [06:34] lost+found is something of ext [06:34] I can see the partition but it does not allow me to create files, folders or modify it [06:35] it's normal, I never new why it's actually there [06:35] have you tried in konsole? [06:36] i can create some folders [06:36] ? [06:36] with root permission [06:36] in /media/dev [06:36] oh [06:37] ok [06:37] I think you have to change a few things in /etc/fstab [06:37] look for the line that says /dev/sda7 [06:38] ok. Another problem. im not able to save text files in that partition [06:39] theres nothing about sda7 in fstab. that could be the problem? [06:39] sorry there is a line [06:40] are you sure? if it's automatically mounted at boot it should be there [06:40] ok [06:40] no problem [06:40] http://pastebin.ca/1941879 [06:40] I remember having that problem [06:41] I fixed it by adding UUID=something option [06:41] I'll search it [06:42] ok [06:42] try changing /dev/sda7 permissions [06:43] something like chmod 0777 /dev/sda7 [06:43] and also /media/dev [06:43] maybe that should do,now I remember that UUID thing was with a fat partition [06:45] i tried remounting it. didnt work. [06:45] ill try this [06:47] i can create folders without root access. but i still cant create and save files [06:48] that's weird [06:48] funny thing is [06:48] did you changed permissions? [06:48] i can do it in dolphin [06:48] haha [06:48] yep! thank you. its working on dolphin [06:48] anirudh: is this a thumb drive formated as ext2 or something like that? [06:48] no prob [06:48] Lord_Drachenblut: no. Hard disk partition. ext4 [06:49] does anyone know what is the planned multimedia player for maverik? [06:49] or at leat what comes with the betas [06:49] does the user have permission to the disk [06:52] Lord_Drachenblut: yep! i now fixed the problem! Thank you! [06:53] anirudh: I ran into that same problem with thumb drives before [06:54] has anyone tried maverik betas? [06:54] damian__: not yet [06:55] I wanted to know about the situacion of the multimedia player [06:55] in the brainstorm page some people talk about vlc [06:55] damian__: not yet. But I dont think they are changing media players in kubuntu. only for xubuntu. But pulseaudio will be sound driver in kubuntu [06:56] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/MaverickMeerkat/Beta/Kubuntu [06:56] so they are keeping dragon with xine? [06:57] maybe they should use vlc backend, I heard good things about it [06:57] There are some rumours of that. [06:57] Im not sure about ubuntu-gnome [06:58] yeah but I'm talking about phonon backend [06:59] new betas look awesome, I hope they work better too [07:04] i think there are some potential issues shipping with vlc as the backend === anirudh is now known as an1 [07:15] Is the kubuntu.org page suppose to just show "OK" with nothing else? [07:17] Realmkeeper: nope - shows plenty for me [07:27] frogonwheels: kubuntu.org.png will show just "OK", yet, kubuntu.org/news will show a normal page. [07:28] frogonwheels: The two images are here for you to see: http://realmkeeper.com/public_folder/ [07:29] frogonwheels: Happens both in Firefox and in Konqueror for me. === jordan is now known as Guest41917 [07:49] frogonwheels: The main page comes up now. === niels_ is now known as nielsbusch === tankdriver is now known as tankdriver_ === tankdriver_ is now known as tankdriver [09:16] hey all [09:17] kwin and xorg process need about 20% cpu, each.... havea nvidia grafic.. and that problem is since i upgraded to kde 4.5 and 4.5.1 [09:17] any idea to fix that? [09:18] noaXess: It's a common issue [09:18] zegenie: from kde? [09:18] there's a partial "fix" coming in 4.5.2, but the real issue is in the nvidia drivers [09:18] is there a workaround until it is fixed? [09:19] yes [09:19] hang on [09:19] zegenie: when will 4.5.2 be released and packaged for kubuntu? and still in beta ppa or in main repo of kunbuntu? [09:19] there is a (somewhat experimental) script / mini-program you can download that will update a component in kde with some fixes that will be available in 4.5.2 [09:20] can wait.. but work is hard.. [09:20] service relesaes like 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 are released about every month [09:20] is kde 4.5.1 in kubuntu ppa still beta? [09:20] no, it's the final 4.5.1 [09:20] zegenie: ah ok.. so wait until october ;) [09:20] (as long as you get it from backports) [09:21] zegenie: i have it from backports.. it's only availabe ther, right? [09:21] you can wait until october, or try the nouveau drivers (instead of the nvidia-provided ones) [09:21] they do release test versions in other repositories like their beta repository, but if you have backports, it's 4.5.1-kubuntu final [09:21] zegenie: hm... have two monitors on my notebook.. primary internal and an external hdmi.. does that work in nv driver? [09:22] nv driver is outdated and not working very well [09:22] is nv not= nouveau? [09:22] you will want to use the new nouveau driver [09:22] nope [09:22] aha.. ok.. [09:22] nv = NVidias own open driver [09:22] nouveau = open driver developed by the community [09:22] hm.. but the no effects an such things [09:22] that's an issue with both nv and nouveau, unfortunately [09:23] although, nouveau is better in that regard as it allows you to run basic desktop effects through xrender [09:23] it's easy to try though, and if it doesn't work you can easily switch back to the nvidia one [09:23] zegenie: if i now switch to nouveau, i need some work to get it runing, right? or just install the driver? [09:23] and then you can always wait for 4.5.2 :) [09:24] whats the package name? [09:24] xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [09:24] the nouveau driver is usually installed if you have an nvidia graphics chipset (it tends to autodetect that stuff) [09:24] otherwise it's the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package yes [09:24] Installed: 1:0.0.15+git20100219+9b4118d-0ubuntu5 [09:24] are you familiar with the console? [09:24] yes.. [09:24] cool [09:24] make a backup of your xorg.conf file [09:24] zegenie: so just change the xorg.conf [09:25] in the console, type "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.backup" [09:25] then "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [09:25] that will remove the configuration file, as it is not really needed for the nouveau driver [09:26] then you should uninstall the nvidia driver, which is usually a matter of running "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current" [09:26] zegenie: and how to setup the external monitor? [09:26] that can be done via KDEs monitor configuration [09:26] system settings -> display and monitor [09:26] zegenie: and nvidia needs to really be removed? [09:27] nvidia doesn't support that, so you are probably used to using nvidias own nvidia-settings to configure that stuff [09:27] kdes monitor/display config utility is very similar and shouldn't be very hard to figure out [09:27] yes, nvidia drivers needs to be removed, because they will load automatically otherwise and in general conflict with loading nouveau [09:28] so.. remove xorg.conf, nvidia-current.. and restart.. .. will give it a try.. [09:28] if it doesnt work, i just need to install nvidia-current and restore xorg.con [09:28] f [09:28] if something goes wrong (your display doesn't start properly, display is garbled, etc), you should boot into "root recovery console" and do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/" [09:28] oui [09:28] jepi.. [09:28] also, when KDE then restarts, desktop effects will be disabled [09:29] I'll tell you how to re-enable them when you get there :) [09:29] ok.. and... rebooot [09:29] good luck :) [09:29] zegenie: i know that.. cause. i'm familiar in console.. and such basic config scripts, files... [09:30] cool [09:30] you never know, better to have mentioned it once than to be sorry later ;) [09:30] I'm actually logging out / in myself because of that pre-4.5.2 nvidia fix [09:30] brb :) [09:36] noaXess: welcome back [09:36] how's the status? :) [09:37] hehe.. strange display. now.. wrong resolution.. but i'm configuring it.. and mirrored display ;) [09:37] yeah, that's to be expected [09:37] nouveau has its own quirks, so whether you like it better than nvidia "official" is a just a matter of personal pref [09:38] and, of course, hardware ; [09:38] tataaaa.. work.. :) [09:38] so, basically, leaving things as they are now (no desktop effects) is probably the "fastest" you'll get [09:39] desktop effects may or may not improve / smooth things out, so whether you want to run with it, you'll have to try and see [09:39] system settings -> desktop effects -> "Advanced" tab [09:39] there's a dropdown that says "opengl" and "xrender", change it to xrender and apply [09:40] then go back to the "General" tab and press suspend / resume compositing a few times (sometimes it doesn't detect whether it's suspended or not) until you're happy [09:40] an issue with nouveau / xrender is that many effects won't work, such as blur, cover switch, desktop cube, etc [09:40] but you'll get shadows, transparency and some other basic effects [09:41] also, xrender animations tends to be a bit slow, so you'll want to change the animations speed in the "General" tab to something faster than "Normal" ;) [09:49] zegenie: have switched back to nvidia.. i love effects ;).. [09:49] so.. wait for 4.5.2 [09:59] noaXess: allright :) === armand is now known as Guest73634 [10:12] anybody know how to configure my touchpad on my notebook? is there any tool yet? [10:17] noaXess: IIRC you need to add an additional package [10:17] Mamarok: hey.. [10:18] Mamarok: and which one? [10:18] kcm-touchpad. If you search with 'aptitude search touchpad' you can find that yourself :) [10:29] Mamarok: and configure it over systemsettings / input devices/ toucpad? but i can't.. its disabled.. [10:30] Touchpad Name: device not found [10:31] noaXess: check your laptop function keys, it might be disabled [10:31] no [10:31] noaXess: try restarting KDE (logout and log in again) [10:31] the laptop shoortcut doesn't work to enable/disable it [10:31] have done that allready [10:32] is it an usb device? [10:47] hola buenas [10:52] noaXess: then I don't know, the particual brand just might not be known. Did you check the manufacturer support website? [10:52] particular* [10:52] Mamarok: not yet.. for the moment i disable the touch pad over a command.. rmmod psmouse [10:53] noaXess: well, that is usually always the first step with hardware problems [10:54] Mamarok: i know.. but i normally use a external usb mouse.. and don't use the touchpad often.. [10:54] hm.. how can i find out information about my touchpad? [10:55] noaXess: I just told you, search the manufacturer's website [10:55] and use google :) [10:55] Mamarok: i mean.. is it normally an usb device? [10:55] so it should be listed with lsusb.. right? [10:57] noaXess: no, why? a touchpad is built-in, not connected through USB [10:57] lspci should list it [10:57] Mamarok: i know.... anyway.. will check google later [10:58] and you know the brand of your laptop, no? [10:58] Mamarok: i know all.. but now.. lunchtime. bbs.. [11:03] hello, i know the gnome standard partitionprogram is the Gparted, but what is the KDE's version? [11:10] patience...

I have a RAID 1 with mdadm and one of the disks got a headcrash, now the system doesn`t boot with the second disk :( What do i have to do, to make it boot? [15:48] switched to nouveau display driver. and setup display's in systemsettings... but the settings will no be saved.. on reboot, they're gone.. [16:07] hi all, i am thinking of switching from arch linux to kubutnu (back). How is the support for a macbook pro 3.1? [16:08] and next thing: i like my software to be very up2date (hence arch linux :-) ), but since the kubuntu ppa seems to be very good and up2date, i am switching back... are there other things/tips you could say about staying up2date in a safe way? :) [16:08] hallo zusammen [16:09] bin neu hier habe ubuntu und möchte videos schauen und das geht net schnief kannn mir jemand helfen [16:09] !de | miri [16:09] miri: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [16:09] evdvelde: using the backports ppa helps (note that kubuntu dosnt update major version of programs during a release, although some of them get added to the packports ppa) [16:10] hallo bin ich hier richtig [16:10] evdvelde: (ie by default, lucid is still on 4.4.2, but the backports conatins 4.5.1) [16:10] ^^ of kde that is) [16:11] James147: i think the most important for me is the kde suite, and that seems to stay quite up2date in the kubuntu kde ppa, other software including wine, vlc has its own ppa's if i like (heard from a colleague)... and i could care less about system stuff [16:11] miri: nein, wenn du deutch reden sollen must ihr #kubuntu-de besuchen, in dieser knal wird nur english gesprochen [16:11] i like to see the new shiny stuff, libraries and compilers are not that important :) [16:11] ok [16:11] in fact, when developing, it is not always fun to have the latest gcc and be the first to find the new errors :) [16:12] hey all [16:12] Ash-Fox: hola [16:12] I'm starting to use KDE SC Activities, find it all well and good; the thing is, tasks from other activities clutter up my task manager. I think the Task Manager should have a checkbox to [x] show only tasks from current Activity (it already can filter based on desktop or screen)... what's your opinion? [16:12] evdvelde: well, kde is availble in the backports (well, untill the next version of kubuntu is released, lucid wont get kde 4.6 as far as I know, but maverick will be out then and will get it when kde 4.6 is released) and the wine team have a ppa on their site for newer version of wine [16:13] James147: thanks for the info, now i just need a bit of time to install it... exciting, sailed by ubuntu once, just before arch linux, curious about what i shall think of it now :) [16:13] James147: how are you saying that Maverick will contain KDE 4.6? I thought Maverick is out this October, while KDE SC 4.6 is due later this coming January [16:14] evdvelde: use kubuntu hehehe it's better [16:14] EvilRoey: i think he means it will come in maverick-backports [16:14] EvilRoey: sorry, I ment maverick will get kde 4.6 in its backports when kde 4.6 is out, it will use kde 4.5 by default [16:14] ohhhh got it [16:14] EvilRoey: experience with arch too? [16:14] nein [16:14] so how do you know :p [16:14] Red Hat (early '98), then Debian ever since and recently Kubuntu [16:14] evdvelde: oh I meant that kde > gnome [16:15] so it follows logically that kubuntu > ubuntu [16:15] EvilRoey: definetley, used kubuntu then as well, but i think it is the same [16:15] :) [16:15] EvilRoey: i think it is a pity in fact that they have different sites and such... instead of just a switch in the installer... but that is me :) [16:15] EvilRoey: btw, are you talking about activities, or virtual desktops (its the virtual desktops that hold the programs, activites hole the widgets) [16:16] activities [16:17] EvilRoey: also, there is a checkbox to only show application from the curren desktop (as well as current screen) in the task managers settings (right click and empty part of the task manager > task manager settings... note that on kde 4.4 you need to close windows untill there is a blank part of the task manager you can click) [16:17] for me, if I switch to a different activity, I (personally) don't want to see windows from other activities [16:17] evdvelde: I'm curious. I never used arch. Why are you abandoning it? [16:17] James147: well I have that checked, too [16:17] James147: but I want to show only tasks from the current Activity [16:17] EvilRoey: ... windows arent assiciated with activities, they are assosicated with virtual desktops, activities only hold widgets/backgrounds [16:18] alvin: oh well, it is not that i am really against it... i love it and i learned a lot. But i like to try different things and occasionally, the DIY style of arch is not that fun... I am a computer scientist, but working with computers does not have to be hard for me all the time :) [16:18] EvilRoey: you cant since they dont work taht way, === EagleScreen is now known as Guest18127 [16:19] evdvelde: ok, thanks. I was thinking myself of switching to arch. [16:19] James147: activities are not useful for my needs then [16:19] EvilRoey: windows get placed on different virtual desktops, they dont care at all what activity is active, [16:19] EvilRoey: its virtual desktops you want to look at [16:19] alvin: e.g. you can install grub2 on arch, but it is less straight-forward, cups is a bit harder at first... [16:19] James147: see, I see an Activity as adding a new dimension along which I can organize my workflow [16:20] James147: but I see what you are saying [16:20] alvin: but i recommend you try it and see for yourself... it is true that you learn more by using arch while *buntu is holding your hand more often :) [16:20] EvilRoey: it is, for widgets... activities act like virtual desktops for widgets (not windows, since they already ahve virtual desktops) [16:20] I'll not miss a beta version of grub :-) That might just be a reason to switch. [16:20] alvin: true, but i was trying that one for a project of mine, otherwise, i dont care about bootloaders anyway as long as they load my system :) [16:21] Oh, it doesn't have to be DIY for me. I choose Kubuntu because I have to support a *lot* of computers. Gentoo, my former love, wasn't the easiest distro to do that. [16:21] James147: hmm, since I don't use widgets.... [16:21] I hate gentoo alvin ;-) that is not completely true but i just always found it to be useless to compile everything, a waste of time [16:21] evdvelde: That's the case. Since Jaunty I've had so many boot issues on so many machines that it really is not funny anymore. I've had a whole network (with same nics) that still have issues to bring their eth0 up in Lucid. [16:23] I was thinking about debian, so I won't have to adapt that much, but I also want the latest KDE and now that Maverick promises good Kolab support I think I'll stay a while longer and see. [16:23] alvin: that is not fun indeed... any solutions in sight? [16:23] alvin: debian is just old shit ;) [16:23] Not for the moment. The bug was marked as fixed :-( But all nics have had their mac addresses changed by Lucid. [16:24] alvin: another reason for switching for me: i have to support some ubuntu servers, an ubuntu testbed and my parents who started using ubuntu on my call recently :D (all with a K of course ;) ) [16:24] EvilRoey: then you dont really ahve a need for activities (although you still use widgets... the panel is covered by them :D .. assuming you still have a panel) [16:26] alvin: if you need support with that, perhaps i can help... been there too [16:26] Yeah, I do have to support some servers also.... boot issues are better, but still there. (netfs in kvm doesn't come up at boot, automatic NFS mount issues,..) broken RAIDs at boot. and since Lucid a high average load on a lot of machines. No, it can be better. [16:26] evdvelde: Thank you. I took commercial support. All those issues remain, but I have workarounds in place. [16:27] I have kdm crashing right after entering password, with maverick beta installed and then fully upgaded, on a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 3100M card. Does anybody know a workaround? [16:27] alvin: i tend to fiddle with those things myself and we have a really cool lab for our students now :-D [16:27] Canonical doesn't fix bugs. (well, they do, but it's not part of a support contract and that's understandable) [16:27] volodya: #ubuntu+1 for meverick support [16:27] volodya, ask in #ubuntu+1 [16:27] volodya: Yes, install nvidia-common. Nouveau segfaults. I'm currently filing the bug [16:28] volodya: nvidia-current I mean [16:28] alvin: is just installing that supposed to fix the issue? [16:29] volodya: Well, if you install it will automatically be set as the default driver [16:29] It's not a fix, mind you! You're just using another driver [16:29] volodya: Filed. It's bug 640596 [16:29] Launchpad bug 640596 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "KDM: X crashes on login" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/640596 [16:29] I get some warning from update-alternatives during install. Is this expected? [16:30] volodya: I think it is [16:30] To change drivers afterwards, use jockey-txt [16:31]
