pulaskiHi everyone, Yesterday I inadvertantly made my clipboard and system update notification icons disappear from my sys tray. I thought they were widgets and I could simply replace them but they do not appear as widgets when I try and add a new one to the panel. How can I find or replace my clipboard and system notifaction icons to the sys tray, not the panel?00:24

compilerwriterHelp my kontact filters seem to be buggered.  I can edit them and then run them on my messages, but then I can't save them permanently or create new ones.  Any ideas folks.00:28

compilerwritersorry temporarily forgot how to do it.00:59
compilerwriterDarthfrog do you have have any idea how in blazes I might go about fixing my email filters in kmail/kontact.  They suddenly can't be edited and saved; nor can new filters be created and saved.01:00
DarthFrogSorry, I don't use Kmail anymore.01:03
compilerwriterDoes anyone have any idea how in blazes I might go about fixing my email filters in kmail/kontact.  They suddenly can't be edited and saved; nor can new filters be created and saved.01:03
DarthFrogBut that sounds like a bug to me.01:03
compilerwriterThings were working fine for some time.  Then when I went to edit a filter because of a change in the way the emails were coming in I could edit the filter but not change the settings.01:04
compilerwriterI am also trying to sort out how to look at my partitions.  I believe that I set up a seperate home partition so that I could just reinstall/ upgrade when the time came but can't remember how in blazes I accomplished it or the commands to use to verify the stuff.  Serves me right for not firing up a terminal more often.01:05
DarthFrogWell, in a terminal "fdisk -l" (may need sudo) will list your partitions.01:08
DarthFrogthe "mount" command with no parameters will show which partitions are mounted where.01:08
DarthFrogand "cat /etc/fstab" will show you your file system mounting table.01:09
compilerwriterthank you darthfrog01:09
DarthFrognp01:09
compilerwriterOh good grief I must have gotten really fancy this last time around I have .Private going on.  I must have encrypted my home directory.01:15
DarthFrogHave fun. :-)01:15
DarthFrogHope you remember the password.01:15
compilerwriterI do remember the password.01:15
compilerwriterI never have to mess with it though. I just login to my machine.  I've even forgotten what the encryption was for.  Was I supposed to put just certain files into a folder or is my home directory just encrypted on the drive so that if my machine is ever stolen they will have to work harder to get at my stuff?01:17
DarthFrogOr it was a new and shiny option?01:17
DarthFrogshiney?01:18
DarthFrogHmm, neither looks right.01:18
compilerwriterI think it might have been a new and shiny option.01:18
compilerwritershiny is the correct spelling.01:18
DarthFrogYeah, that sort of stuff resonates with our inner magpie. :-)01:19
compilerwriterhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/500659/ is the /etc/fstab output.01:21
DarthFrogYou don't have a separate home partition.  I find it a useful configuration.01:21
compilerwriterhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/500663/01:23
compilerwriterthat was mount01:23
DarthFrogThat may be, but it isn't a separate partition.01:23
DarthFrog /home/keith/.Private is merely mapped to /home/keith.01:24
compilerwriterfdisk -l  http://paste.ubuntu.com/500664/01:26
compilerwriterIt would seem I have four partitions from the fdisk would it not DarthFrog?01:27
DarthFrogNot really.  sda2 is a container partitons for your logical partitons (sda5, sda6).01:28
compilerwriterI could have sworn that I set up the thing to have a seperate home partition for myself.  Perhaps I just didn't get it done correctly.01:29
DarthFrogIf you were intending /dev/sda5 to be your home partition, it isn't.  It isn't mounted in your system.01:29
compilerwriterIt never got mounted?01:30
DarthFrogDo you see it in the "mount" command output?01:30
compilerwriterI thought I had made an OS partition, a home Partition, and a swap partition.01:30
DarthFrogRight now, /dev/sda5 is lying fallow. :-)01:31
compilerwriterbrb01:31
DarthFrogTry this: "sudo mkdir /mnt/disk && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/disk".01:31
DarthFrogThen see what's in that partition.01:31
compilerwriterhow do I go look at it now cd inot /mnt/disk01:33
DarthFrogOr use Dolphin.01:33
compilerwriterok thanks01:34
Planetary_hello.... is there anybody out there?....01:41
jakentyes01:43
compilerwriterDarthFrog: it would appear that shiny button is thwarting my plans01:46
compilerwriterThis will give you a hint as to what is in that until now fallow partition. sudo mkdir /mnt/disk && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/disk01:50
compilerwriteroops01:50
compilerwriterhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/500671/ try that DarthFrog01:50
compilerwriterevidently when I opted for the encrypted partition I created a home directory in the OS partition?01:52
compilerwriterThe question is DarthFrog how do I fix this?01:52
compilerwriterBlast the inner magpie! :-)01:52
compilerwriterI guess I am doing a total backup of data and then reformatting at the next upgrade eh? or is there a better way DarthFrog?01:54
alex____Entonces01:56
Planetary_why doesnt asound list work?02:00
Planetary_i cant select my usb dac as default sound. it only seems to work with the system sound when i prefer it in systemsettings02:01
compilerwritergood night all02:02
DarthFrogcompilerwriter: There's a better way.02:02
DarthFrogcompilerwriter: Good night.02:03
DarthFrogcompilerwriter: Forget everything I said about /dev/sda5 not being mounted as your home partition, etc.  I've never worked with encrypted file systems and I see I gave you a bum steer.  It would seem that I need to learn about how encrypted file systems work.02:05
DarthFrogI was wr...wro...wr.. err, gave you misleading misinformation. :-)02:07
compilerwriterThanks darthfrog I will talk to you about it later and we will get it sorted.02:08

=== desti_T2 is now known as desti
JimsKnopfThere is no information about the OpenXchange client configuration.Only the hint with the kontacts wizard. But the wizard is for susexchange only15:35

klaxianMamarok: it appears that my system was suspended while no one was logged in (on login screen) and i need to prevent that15:54

phoenix_hello everyone16:55
phoenix_is there a way to see the id3 tags of a mp3 file in dolphin file properties16:55
DarthFrogphoenix_: I just looked at the Properties of a MP3 file.  The Information tab gives the info you want.17:04
DarthFrogAnd if you click on the Configure button in the Information tab, you can set what fields are displayed.17:05
phoenix_DarthFrog: i am checking that17:05
phoenix_DarthFrog: some of the details are displayed wrongly. i have tagged the mp3 files with kid3 app17:07
DarthFrogphoenix_: Where is it getting the incorrect info from?17:07
phoenix_DarthFrog: the title is displayed correctly, but the album name is not17:07
DarthFrogphoenix_: Check the ID3 tag in Easytag.17:08
phoenix_DarthFrog: ok17:08
DarthFrogEasytag is extremely powerful, BTW.17:09
BluesKajphoenix_, the best database is cddb afaik , some players use a diff one which lacks alot of the artwork17:10
phoenix_BluesKaj: i manually inserted the details of id3 tags of each file17:11
phoenix_DarthFrog: i checked with easytag, the album name is present correctly17:13
DarthFrogCurious.17:13
DarthFrogSounds like it might be a bug.17:14
BluesKajyeah  ,my friends are n't happy with some of the new players on windows which use a diff database17:14
phoenix_DarthFrog: is you mp3 tags displayed correctly17:15
phoenix_BluesKaj: you mean the id3 tags database17:15
DarthFrogDon't know, I didn't check closely, sorry.   And I'm about to leave the computer for the day.   Good luck.17:16

phoenix_BluesKaj: my language is not supported well17:17

James147Rounin: check in system settings > power managment, also maverick support is on #ubuntu+117:20
BluesKajphoenix_, I do organize the files , it's just not necessary that all the other data like album covers and artwork need to be included17:21
RouninThat's where it's missing from, James147, but I'll try #ubuntu+1 ... Thanks!17:21
phoenix_BluesKaj: ya , its just for my mobile17:21
phoenix_hello James14717:21
James147Hey phoenix_, BluesKaj :)17:21
BluesKajhi James14717:22
phoenix_James147: are you engaged in kubuntu 10.10 developement?17:22
* James147 dosnt develop kubuntu....17:22
phoenix_James147: do you try 10.1017:23
James147phoenix_:  I am running it on my netbook :)17:24
phoenix_James147: do you know that pulseaudio is the default audio server17:24
James147phoenix_: heard mention of it... havnt had any problems with it on my netbook though17:25
* BluesKaj wishes he could convince his friends to switch to linux , bloody windows media player is driving them and me around the bend , media jukebox doesn't us e the cddb database and winamp is for younger eyes17:25
James147not that I use sound much on it... 1/2 the time sound is disabled completely :)17:25
* BluesKaj likes music not pc "sounds "17:26
James147BluesKaj: younger eyes? how so?17:26
phoenix_James147: younger eyes?17:26
BluesKajthe fonts aren't configurable , they're so small , James14717:26
phoenix_BluesKaj: did you try songbird?17:27
James147BluesKaj: heh, figured winamp was ment to be one of the more customisable ones... dont like it very much though17:27
BluesKajphoenix_, on windows ?17:27
phoenix_BluesKaj: linux17:27
James147BluesKaj: also, there is always kde for windows :)17:28
phoenix_did you people see the qt changelog of 4.717:28
phoenix_they have hardware compositing for webkit17:29
James147phoenix_: O_o17:29
BluesKajphoenix_, my friends all usw e windows and when soimething goes wrong like wmp not seeing the usb outboard drive music files anymore and won't load the headers into the database anylonger because it's locked from too many new versions17:29
phoenix_BluesKaj: new versions of what17:30
BluesKajeverytime the usb outboard drive is disconnected and rconnected wmp creates anew database for the library , after qabout 5-6 disconnects and reconnects wmp no longer loads the library because it's already there but it really isn't...that the best wat i can explain it17:32
phoenix_BluesKaj:why cant you recomment your friends to try amarok17:34
BluesKajthis is a question I asked in #windows and no one could answer...there is a fix that I found but it only works intermitently17:35
phoenix_BluesKaj: i think the solution might be to delete the database manually17:36
James147phoenix_: thats not a soultion, thats a workaround :)17:36
phoenix_James147: ok17:37
BluesKajphoenix_, they're all windows users , and barely capable using it....yes i have managed to remove the database manually on one pc but not on all17:38
phoenix_James147: is it proper to discuss a windows related topic in this channel?17:38
James147probally best to move to #kubuntu-offtopic :)17:38
phoenix_BluesKaj: what is the wmp version17:38

James147BluesKaj: you should beabel to grab kpackagekit from kde-apps.org though19:34
James147to see the latest version19:34
anygivennameI have done it thru kpac.....but now I can not find the app in Applications19:34
BluesKajI'm looking at a new-for-me nvidia graphics7 series card for the desktop , so maybe maverickcan run ok on it19:34
James147anygivenname: from what I can see about it its not an app, but a deamon  (service in windows terms...) I dont see why tehre would be a menu entry and you will need to configure it manually by editing the appropite config files...19:35
James147BluesKaj: I could probally test my old 7300 on maverick if you wanted, see if it runs :)19:37
anygivennameso u mean it is working now in the background ?19:37
James147anygivenname: probally... but its probally not set up19:37

* James147 wonders if it worth wiping his netbook, installing windows on it, updating his bios, wiping windows and reinstalling linux :D19:46
BluesKajwhy James147 , BIOS update already?19:47
anygivennameJames147, the reason I switched to Ubuntu is that it more stable & better performing than Win....I want to install ddclient so it updates my host regularly whenever my dynamic IP changes so I am able to connect to it remotely always19:50
skaftiI have a strange problem... my motherboard soundcard died last year and i had to buy a new sound card, but now after i installed kubuntu the old inbuild card is working poorly when i am streaming youtube exp... but when im playing dragon player the old one is active19:51
anygivennameissue is Ubuntu is a bit complex for me when it comes to installation issues19:51
skaftiso i need to be swiching the plug over every time i use one or the other19:51
James147anygivenname: ... well, the link BluesKaj gave should show to the basics of how to configure ddclient, but searching on your DNS providers site but give better information on how to configure it19:52
anygivennamewhere should those script go into ?19:53
James147anygivenname: either way its going to involve editing config files as there is no nice gui for it... but learning to use the terminal/ editing config files is something worth doing in linux19:53
James147hmm, anygivenname, you might want to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ddclient"  ... seems that will set it up for you, asking you the relevent questions  (run that command in a terminal application like konsole)19:58
slow-motionhi19:58
James147anygivenname: but ddclient is installed to /usr/sbin but you can start/stop it by running "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient start" (or stop or status or restart)20:01
Renovatiohi, is there anyone who can help me in setting cdrecorder "wodim" permission? k3b always exit with a cdrecord permission error20:02

anygivennamehow do I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure ddclient ?20:03
James147anygivenname: open konsole (a terminal application, it should already be installed) and type that into it then press enter20:04

RenovatioJames147...now i don't have any cdrecord permission error but it doesn't record :-( it stays hold on 0% :-(20:31
James147Renovatio: try setting up the other premision options, other then that I am not sure what to do sorry, I am not very fimilar with k3b20:32
=== claudio is now known as Guest550
RenovatioJames147: it returns with "unable to set the record" (or something like that, english is not my system lang :-( ok...i don't have to write my CDs...i understood :P20:34
anygivennamewhat should I do now on this 'please set run_daemon to 'true' in /etc/default/ddclient'  ?20:39
James147anygivenname: run: "kdesudo kate /etc/default/ddclient" and change the line "run_daemon="true"" to "run_daemon="false""20:41
anygivennameu mean vice versa20:42
anygivennameit should be set to 'true' as it says20:42
James147anygivenname: yeah, sorry :)20:44
anygivennamekdesudo kate /etc/default/ddclient  does not do anything20:44
anygivennameis there anyway I can edit this file using an app ?20:44
James147anygivenname: it should give you a prompt for your password, then open kate (the text editor) as root with that file20:45
anygivennameit is the only file in this folder that has an X on top right20:45
anygivennameit only asked for password20:45
anygivennamedidnt open anything afterwards20:45
James147hmm... what happens if you jsut run "kate"?20:46
anygivennamelike how ?20:46
James147anygivenname: in a terminal20:47
anygivennamewithout kdesudo ?20:47
James147anygivenname: yeah, make sure kate can open before trying to open it with root :)20:47
James147anygivenname: if it works try "kdesudo kate"20:47
anygivennamekate...says currently not installed20:47
James147anygivenname: ... hmm20:48
anygivennamekdesudo kate.....says sudo:20:48
James147anygivenname: are you on kubuntu, or ubuntu?20:48
anygivennameubuntu20:48
anygivennamewhat is kubuntu ? havent heard of it20:48
James147anygivenname: ... that would be why.. I assumed you where on kubuntu... since this is the kubuntu support channel.. kubuntu is essentally ubuntu with kde  rather then gnome (the desktop enviroment)20:49
James147anygivenname: try "gtksudo gedit /etc/default/ddclient" instead20:49
James147anygivenname: you also might want to join #ubuntu :)20:50
anygivennamesays:20:50
anygivennameNo command 'gtksudo' found, did you mean:20:50
anygivenname Command 'gksudo' from package 'gksu' (main)20:50
James147:S20:50
James147anygivenname: try gtksu ...20:51
anygivennamecan the file ddclient be opened with an app ?20:51
James147anygivenname: it can... but needs to be opened as root20:51
James147anygivenname: what happens if you run "gedit"?20:51
* James147 wonders why you have kdesudo but not kate...20:52
anygivennamegedit opened an app20:52
James147weird... most people have either kdesudo and kate... or gtksudo and edit.... :S try "kdesudo gedit"20:53
James147s/edit/gedit/20:53
macoJames147: gtksudo doesnt work because gtksudo doesnt exist20:54
James147maco: gtksu then?20:54
macoJames147: anygivenname's command-not-found was correct to suggest gksudo20:54
macoJames147: there's no t in it20:54
James147ahh..20:54
anygivennamewhat do I try now ?20:55
James147anygivenname: try "gksudo gedit" ... sorry about that, dont use gnome and got the name mixed up20:55
anygivennamekdesudo gedit /etc/default/ddclient20:56
anygivennameworked20:56
anygivennameopened the file20:56
* James147 still wonders why you ahve kdesudo...20:56
James147anygivenname: but o well, you should beable to edit the file then20:56
James147(and thank you for the correction maco :)  )20:58
anygivennameyeah20:58
anygivennamenow is there a way to make sure the ddclient is working20:59
anygivenname?20:59
anygivennameas we have finished all settings20:59
James147anygivenname: "/etc/init.d/ddclient status" should tell you if its running or not21:00
anygivennamein terminal aswell ?21:00
James147anygivenname: and you will want to restart it after editing teh file... "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient restart" should do that21:00
James147anygivenname: yup21:00
BluesKajanygivenname, which dns service are you using ?21:00
James147anygivenname: however, I do not know how to check if its working properly21:01
anygivennamesays not running :(21:01
James147anygivenname: then "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient start"  should start it21:01
anygivennameyeah21:02
anygivennamerunning now21:02
anygivennameso now....whenever my IP changes....it should update my dyndns.org host21:03
James147anygivenname: should...21:04
anygivennameused to do so on Win....I am hopeful it would do on Ubuntu21:04
anygivennamewill test it21:04
James147anygivenname: if its configured correctly then it will :)21:05
anygivennameyeah it is21:05
anygivennamequestions were so simple21:05
