[08:55] !checkinstall [08:55] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[08:55] moetunes: ok, i will try to complie the source [08:56] phoenix_: make sure to use checkinstall so if it doesn't work it is easy to remove [08:56] moetunes: ok [08:57] :] [09:04] moetunes: https://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid/+build/1914326 [09:04] moetunes: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libbluedevil/1.8-0ubuntu1/+build/1958140 [09:04] moetunes: successfully installed bluedevil [09:04] phoenix_: it's polite to state a reason for the link - is it a bug?

[10:40] phoenix_: that would be a question for #winehq - I haven't used anything microsoft since 2003 [10:42] moetunes: the software is compiled for 9.10 kernel. is there a way to use it in a new kernel [10:44] phoenix_: afaik it should but that is a bit beyond my realm of expertise - the good folk in #ubuntu-kernel might know but it is saturday and I don't know if they're there in numbers [10:45] moetunes: how about the #ubuntu channel [10:45] phoenix_: it is worth a shot - someone there should know about bluetooth perhaps [10:46] Hi guys, i've got a small problem here.

I stopped using them but it is still very sluggish [10:50] have you selected a new session at login or chosen not to save the session? [10:51] moetunes: yes I always start with a new session [10:51] navetz: that'll be why - it doesn't save the fact that you want the effects enabled afaik [10:52] moetunes: no it seems to save it fine. It seems to just run much slower now. I have a pretty good laptop so specs shouldn't be an issue [10:53] navetz: afaik a new session doesn't have the effects enabled - I could be wrong but try with last session [11:04] can someone remind me of the program for batch resizing photos?

[14:55] James147, Yeah. Hold on [14:56] James147, I use four desktops on a single monitor and one desktop is kept specifically for notes. After upgrading, all the remaining three desktops are intact but one new desktop loaded in the default style eating my desktop of notes. I just want to have my notes back.. [14:58] :( the notes data is stored in ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc but I am not sure if it will still be there [14:58] kopete sent his url to firefox can i changed that somewhere, because everywhere it is firefox only kopete isn/ t [14:58] Ah.. let me see [14:58] * sresu hoping to get surprised [14:58] the desktop notes arnt the safest way to stop notes atm, espically during an upgrade... I would suggest trying 'basket'... although that now stores its notes in nepomuk [14:59] colorsoundboy: you could try changing your default web browser in the default applications part of system settings [15:00] I know everywher i've done that but only kopete will not doing it :D very strange [15:00] James147, Are you sure about the file? Because there is no mention of any widget here [15:01] sresu: it dosnt mention widgets as such... but they are there [15:02] James147, I mean about the notes, sorry [15:02] sresu: as I said, I doupt that the notes data is still tehre [15:03] James147, http://pastebin.com/CmSaYMRe [15:06] sresu: as far as I can see there are no notes widgets there [15:06] James147, Is there a way to restore back to my previous version? [15:06] sresu: I dont think so [15:06] Those notes were really of importance to me [15:07] Anyways, Thanks a lot. I wish I could have got that back [15:07] sresu: afraid this is one of those... always remember to back up... moments :( has happened to me before [15:08] sresu: sensitive data is best keep in a program such as basket and regularly back up/exported [15:08] James147, Yes, I regularly backup using sync but I never thought this notes widget would ever get lost during widget [15:08] sresu, yes or in text files , rather than notes [15:09] BlueKaj,Notes because they remind me.. those were not sensitive or personal. Only important to work [15:09] sresu: :) afraid there is always a chance of losing data in unexpected ways [15:09] James147, Yes, I 'm going through the website of basket notes [15:10] James147, and would install from package manager if I feel the need. Thanks :) [15:10] sresu: although I would like to point out that the latest version of baskt uses nepomuk, so I highly suggest regular backups/exporting of its notes :) [15:11] James147, Sure, Thanks :) [15:11] James147, Last, so there is really no chance at all of getting back my previous notes?? [15:12] sresu: you could look in plasma-appletsrc ... but that file hasent been used since kde 4.3 or eailer [15:12] (if it even exists anymore on you system) [15:13] It exists but shows only one line - update_info=plasma_popupapplet_fix_groups.upd:PlasmaPopupAppletFixGroups1 [15:16] sresu: then the only other option is to try a data recovery on the hdd, but the chances of getting the notes back from that are very very very slim... and it would be allot of hassel to attempt it [15:17] James147, Those are important, I'd like to try that. (Next time I'll be taking care of such things) [15:17] James147, Please guide me through data recovery [15:18] hi, I desperately need help.. I am currently running a live cd and where my linux ext4 partitions used to be, gparted now only detects unallocated hard drive space [15:18] sresu: well, if you really want to try the first thing would be to stop using your computer.... and I am afraid I cannot guide you as I do not know how to do it [15:18] is there a recovery tool which would find my partitions for me again? [15:18] sresu: but the longer you use your hdd the less chance of a recovery.... [15:19] Oh === root is now known as Guest26269 [15:21] James147, I'll see what I can do. Thank you.

I had to write a bash script to convert them so I could use them. [15:34] sresu, I use gnome desktop at times to help in #ubuntu ...I found being a kde purist is too restrictive in many ways , altho my primary desktop is kde [15:34] BluesKaj, Then I guess for that I would need to try nautilus on KDE? [15:35] BluesKaj, No I wish to continue with KDE. Thanks :) [15:35] and then almost all of them dont work with widgets., but even some of the kde4 screensavers dont work with widgets. [15:35] I made a list of which ones work with widgets. I wonder where I could post it? [15:36] I test almost 160 screen savers and only 22 work with widgets [15:36] and thats including blank screen.

[17:12] kinda turned off actually when i tried it [17:12] Nope just Kate it seems [17:12] kwrite seems fine [17:13] it takes maybe 2 minutes for the file open dialog box to appear [17:13] SJr: try testing it on a new user [17:15] that's a good idea [17:16] let me just wait for this to finish [17:16] the log seems to hang on [17:16] kbuildsycoca4(3362) kdemain: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged ("servicetypes", "xdgdata-mime", "services", "apps") [17:19] SJr, try launching kate from the terminal, then pastebin the output [17:19] Yeah that's what I was doing [17:19] that was the last line [17:19] ok [17:19] II gave up on the last run [17:19] . [17:20] I gave up on trying to see any more output [17:20] new users seem to work [17:20] SJr, run sudo updatedb [17:21] running [17:21] SJr: if the new user works then try renaming kates config file: ~/.kde/share/config/katerc it will reset kate to the default settings === delusion_ is now known as darkdelusions === rmagno is now known as macbuntu0 [17:22] I love you James147 :) [17:23] :) most of the time its a bad config file [17:23] Yeah I thought of that [17:23] but I renamed the wrong file [17:23] I renamed it in /apps/ [17:24] Okay, so the next question is why does Kubuntu keep wanting to update packages I've marked as blocked [17:24] SJr: :) that tends to store aplication data rather then settings [17:24] marked as blocked in what? [17:24] the dpkg database or whatever [17:25] SJr, then back as the default user , run sudo updatedb [17:25] yeah I already did BluesKaj [17:25] ok good [17:25] what was the point of that? [17:26] ^^ as far as I know it updates the database used by locate... not sure what else uses it though, BluesKaj? [17:26] yeah it doesn't seem to be relevant [17:27] well, this was part of the output seems relavent to the db "kdemain: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged" [17:27] yeah [17:29] BluesKaj: not sure t was refering to the updatedb? ^^ that sounds like the signal notifyData.... was emitted by something, meaning the database had already changed :) ... but signals are a qt thing and as far as I know dont have anything to do with updatedb [17:29] whwn the database changes ,it occurs to me that might need updating [17:30] yeah [17:30] there is more than one database [17:30] Is kubuntu better suited to be a server or a personal computer? [17:30] BluesKaj: I think that is what that signal is ment to be doing :) telling whom ever cares that the database has changed [17:30] um personal computer exclusively [17:30] UBuntu-Server is what you want [17:30] anirudh: computer, ubuntu server is best as a server :) [17:30] thank you [17:31] by the way, is there in difference in the kernel between ubuntu and ubuntu server? [17:31] well I use kubuntu as a media server , haven't tried it as awebserver but I assume with lamp install one could configure it to be a server [17:31] anirudh: yes, not entirly sure on what thougyh [17:31] ok [17:32] anirudh: but essentially, all *ubuntu editions use the same repos and the only real difference is what is installed by default [17:33] anirudh: uubntu server is set up for most server envrioments and will work best by default in that envrioment [17:33] anirudh: where as kubuntu is setup as a desktop pc that uses the kde envroment [17:33] (or laptop) [17:33] James147: ok [17:34] anirudh: the main differnce you will find in them is the graphcal interface (o lack of in the case of ubuntu server) [17:34] installed ubuntu-server on this machine and added kubuntu-desktop during the install [17:56] BluesKaj: Why server? [18:14] James147, BluesKaj, moetunes, I got the notes back. It was hidden with the activities option (right click on desktop) :) [18:14] sresu: :D [18:14] * sresu can now be happy about exploring KDE [18:14] sresu: now would be a good time to back them up then :) [18:15] Yes doing that with basket :) [18:15] sresu: dont forget to backup basket as well ;) [18:15] James147, Yes, it was done a moment ago [18:15] James147, Thanks [18:16] James147, What all new you found in KDE 4.5? [18:16] sresu: What new thing have I found in kde4.5? ... o I cant remember, its all so old to me now :D [18:17] Hehe [18:17] sresu: most notably though, they have rearranged system settings, and made everything more responsive [18:17] James147, Yes [18:18] and the notifications have been improved [18:18] James147, Yup [18:18] James147, Got to go... ciao :D [18:19] best flash replacement [18:19] bye sresu [18:19] phoenix__: replacment? [18:19] i would say html5 :) [18:19] hello james [18:19] but that is a developer thing to change, not much you can do but bug the web devs [18:20] James147: what to replace adobe flas player plugin [18:20] James147: gnash is not working [18:20] phoenix__: then purge it and dont use it :) as crap as it is its the best flash player for linux around... [18:21] James147: any other alternate? [18:21] phoenix__: not really [18:24] James147: does mplayer play flv [18:24] not sure [18:31] hi [18:32] Hello peti === Xtreme is now known as Sagittarius [18:38] is there a way to close some widgets that are not visible on KDE4?? [18:39] JackStoner: which version of kde4? [18:39] im not sure, im quite new in KDE...(gnome user here) [18:40] James147: how do i check? [18:40] JackStoner: any kde app > help > about kde [18:41] its 4.4.2 [18:43] James147: i had some widgets on my dashboard...and i think something happened and they are not there, i logged out and in but it appears that they are running but they are nowhere to be found [18:43] JackStoner: hmm, if i rememver right you can remove all of one type of widget in that version by right clicking the desktop > add widgets > find the widget type you want to remove > click the - button [18:43] JackStoner: have you checked on all your activities? [18:44] James147: how do i do that? [18:44] Sorry, i feel like such a n00b [18:45] you should be able to change activities by clicking the cachew (the thing in the corner that looks like half a yin yang symbol) > zoom out > click the zoom in icon on the activity you want to zoom in on.... [18:45] James147: i'll give it a try [18:50] James147: i've removed all activities but 1 (which im using), but the widget still doesnt appear to stop running and its not visible [18:51] JackStoner: you could reset plasma-desktop to its default settings (removeing all widgets) by deleting ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* [18:51] (that is plasma* means all files that begin with plasma) [18:53] James147: does that mean my themes and icons will be removed also? [18:53] JackStoner: your plasma themes wont be removed but it will default back to oxygen, your icons wont be touched [18:54] JackStoner: you can rename the files instead, and rename them back if you want to revert [18:54] so since the widgets are under plasma..its the only thing changed? and after deleted what should i next? [18:56] James147: rebooting...will return soon === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 === muzer is now known as MuzerAway === MuzerAway is now known as muzer [19:33] /msg NickServ identify #!/bin/sh [19:34] WTF [19:34] [19:34] this is weird [19:34] Remove the space in the beginning [19:34] there was NO space [19:35] there must have been when you sent it ;) [19:35] I'm using quassel for the first time [19:35] so I suppose it's just a POS [19:35] and I must stop using it [19:35] drbobb: what is POS?

[19:37] I see no bad at all [19:37] drbobb: what was your problem with quassel anyway? [19:38] some weirdness with slash-commands [19:38] never mind [19:39] back on topic, I meant to ask whether grub2 currently supports booting from a LVM volume [19:39] thats only because you put a space infrount of it :) .. i doupt it was quessals doings, its never happened here [19:40] yeah probably right [19:41] !grub2 [19:41] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [19:41] so the problem involves selection & copy/paste, not slash commands [19:41] drbobb: from what I can see it does, but I have never tried it [19:41] Yes [19:41] sresu: yes to what? [19:42] (from: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-grub2/ -- GRUB 2 supports Linux's forms of RAID and LVM. Thus, you can configure your system with nothing but RAID or LVM partitions.) [19:42] that I no longer need a separate /boot partition? [19:42] drbobb, so the problem involves selection & copy/paste, not slash commands [19:43] sresu: yeah I see now, hiighlighting doesn't work the way everybody is used to [19:43] like if I double click and drag, I doesn't do what I expect [19:43] s/I/it/ [19:44] any way, great news about grub2 [19:44] although it still is a PITA in several ways [19:44] oops forgot, family values and so on [19:45] sorry [19:45] :) ... why is it being a pain for you? just works here, better then grub 1 did [19:45] drbobb: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/563895 this was the bug for LVM I suppose, it should be fixed in MM [19:45] Launchpad bug 563895 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "grub2 fails to boot or install when an LVM snapshot exists" [High,Fix released] [19:46] James147: I really can't bring myself to figure out the config system [19:46] it's way too contrived [19:46] ^^ mostly you just edit /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub [19:47] and I really should cause fixing broken and unbootable linux systems is like part of my job [19:47] ppl manage to break their systems in multiple & creative ways [19:49] hey could it be that bug is affecting my lucid system, on my laptop [19:50] the first grub menu entry won't boot no matter what [19:50] panics on can't mount root fs [19:50] drbobb, Which laptop/netbook? [19:50] the second and further entries boot ok [19:51] sresu: as in what sort of h/w? [19:51] would that really make a difference? [19:51] it's an acer aspire, a couple of years old [19:51] drbobb, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks [19:52] drbobb, if it helps in any way [19:52] sresu: is that page even updated any longer? [19:52] drbobb, afaik, Yes [19:52] this particular laptop has been running ubuntu since breezy [19:53] drbobb, last edited 2010-09-25 12:57:20. I linked that just in case it says about grub issues [19:54] well I make it work by booting the second entry [19:55] and in any case, I only reboot once a week or two [19:55] cause sleep mode works justs fine [19:56] ok just one more: this crap laptop has a broken cd/dvd [19:57] is there still some way to boot the install image from the hdd? [19:57] drbobb, You can try LiveUSB [19:57] sresu: never had much success with that for some reason [19:57] but I could try, yes [19:58] it would work faster if possible from hdd though [19:58] drbobb, Or get USB based CD/DVD drive and see if it works [19:58] I think the last time I did a fresh install I actually used debootstrap [19:59] sresu: why buy a device I'll most likely never need again [20:00] drbobb, only a suggestion:) Maybe you can borrow :) [20:00] yeah I won't be able to do that until monday [20:00] and obviously the weekend is when I have time to fool around [20:01] I could try to pick up some one-night stand somewhere, but since I'm kinda old for that, I figured I'd try the new kubuntu RC instead ;-D [20:14] should usb-creator work with an image of the alternate cd? [20:14] anyone knows how to use logitec100c with ekiga [20:14] ? [20:15] am i the onnlllyy oneee.. .... yeaaaahhhh! [20:15] ??? [20:34] how's the status of support for broadcom wireless in maverick? === fmagno is now known as delkin [20:42] hmm it looks like kde is giving me an incorrect low-space notification, it disagrees with what df says [20:45] can anyone recommend a good mp3 audio ripper? [20:53] Hi i am buying a lenovo ideapad s10 3t tomo. It is supposed to a tablet netbook and has touchscreen abilities. i want to know if Kubuntu's netbook edition will work out of the box on it > there seems to be thread about this on the ubuntu forums but does not talk much or anything about running kubuntu on the device [20:53] vivek40: try it with a live cd [20:53] with alive cd you can test it without touch your HD [20:54] !livecd [20:54] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [20:54] I cant use a live cd on it without buying it Peace: and I wont buy it if it does not work on it. It comes loaded with win 7 and no way I am goin to use that crap [20:54] buy? [20:54] Peace: so it is a round robin situation [20:55] Peace: buy means buying the netbook [20:55] yea yea [20:55] i didn't read before well [20:55] well... [20:55] Peace: no prob [20:56] the best thing you can do it's try kubuntu ion device some sellers [20:56] have not problem with livecd [20:56] but if you can't [20:56] you should know which video audio card it has [20:56] for the touch screen ... [20:56] Peace:ok ... [20:56] that is the big issue [20:57] just a moment i would like serach [20:57] better [20:57] could you tell me how could I get to know that.. I am sure the sellers here wont even have an idea [20:57] Peace:yeah I would search too [20:58] vivek40: i have found meego shoudl work on it [20:58] so... [20:58] i guess it should work [20:58] meego it's a debian .... [20:58] soo... [20:58] xD [20:58] Peace:what is this meego [20:58] Peace-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:58] vivek40: it's a distro based on debian that nokia and intel had developed [20:58] for tablet netpc [20:59] http://liliputing.com/2010/05/meego-linux-1-0-released-for-netbooks-video.html [20:59] Peace: oh so you mean Kubuntu netbook will work on it [20:59] vivek40: i guess yes [20:59] guesss [21:00] *guess* [21:00] Peace:Then why are the Ubuntu guys running a thread on it for months and still have issues.. sorry to bother [21:00] this is probably the wrong place to ask, but amarok stops playing after one song, even tho i have ~300 songs in my playlist [21:01] vivek40: oh sorry [21:01] vivek40: Some folks have asked how MeeGo works on a touchscreen device. Turns out that while there is a build for the Nokia N900 with touchscreen support, there are no touchscreen drivers fro the netbook version of MeeGo yet. I tested it on a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t and while the touchpad worked just fine, touching the screen did nothing at all. [21:01] lieuwe:I had this problem too, but i solved it , i dont remember how though, was something to do with settings [21:01] Peace:hmmmm .. so [21:01] it might not work [21:01] vivek40: that meand no driver for touchscreen [21:01] :S [21:02] sounds bad , the device looks kinda cool [21:02] i suggest to wait for a while [21:02] vivek40: you can send a mail to lenovo [21:03] company and try to ask them if they know something [21:03] Peace: would they tell me how to make kubuntu work on their sys [21:03] vivek40: guessed that yeah [21:04] sorry lieuwe: held up in my own issues as of now.but just give me 10-15 minutes, I need time to come out of this heartbreak i just had [21:04] vivek40: if a linux distro works it should work on kubuntu [21:04] vivek40: remmeber that if ubuntu works kubuntu will [21:04] lieuwe: version of amarok? [21:05] looks like ubuntu 10.10 is working out of the box on it but still has issues , but i would love to see that lovely plasma screen on my netbook , Peace: [21:05] Peace-: eh, dunno, lemme check [21:06] vivek40: kernel is the same on ubuntu and in kubuntu [21:06] so... [21:06] Peace-: 2.3.0 [21:06] yeah thanks Peace: [21:06] lieuwe: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=85235 [21:08] folks here in italy it's time to go out [21:08] so... seee yeaaaa === root is now known as Guest36729 [21:47] ok now I know why I never used a usb stick for installation: usb-creator is broken, has been broken for a long time, and remains broken still [21:48] it just does not work [21:50] funny isn't it? such a severe bug has been open and unfixed for many months now [22:16] drbobb: funny it worked for me [22:26] hello [22:26] i use kmail or evolution but i can't see all my message [22:26] in my inbox === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 [22:26] any solution ?

[22:51] yes [22:51] hum... maybe a bios bug [22:52] check and see if theres a bios update [22:52] that fixed a problem i had a while back [22:52] If I could pass some parameter on the boot menu, so the kernel wouldn't check 32 bits === megalinux is now known as megalinux_ === megalinux_ is now known as megalinux__ === megalinux__ is now known as megalinux [22:55] megadevil: sorry if im not much help but im new to kbuntu and having trouble myself [22:55] hehe [22:56] you don't have to apologise ;) [22:56] I have to thank you for trying [22:56] u now much about it === Malkavian is now known as Malkavian_ === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:08] does anyone why when i install kbuntu 8.10 the first boot goes through fine and i can log in but after a restart i get a text screen to login in to terminal --im stuck at that [23:11] hey guys.. well I have both ubuntu and kubuntu installed...running compiz of course... stll dual monitor wallpaper rendering is non funtional and also this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/kubuntu.png when dragging a folder from primary monitor to secondary [23:11] anyone know if kde has fixed the dual monitor wallpaper rendering issues? [23:19] coz_: your running compiz inside kde? [23:25] James147, yes but the issue is dual monitor wallpaper [23:26] James147, interesting question though...why wouldnt you think I would be running compiz on kde? [23:28] coz_: because kwin is better intergrated and can do most of whatat compiz can [23:28] James147, well I am going to disagree... i prefer compiz over kwin by a large margin [23:29] howevr... still kde is not working well on dual monitors ...cannot stretch or "span" the wallpaper over and onto the secondary monitor [23:29] !mumble [23:30] !murmur [23:30] !pulseaudio [23:30] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [23:30] this doesn make for a sensible workspace... any workarounds for this? [23:30] coz_: what graphics card do you have? [23:30] James147, nvidia 7600GT [23:30] coz_: with the nvidia drivers? [23:30] yes [23:31] coz_: twinview or seprate screens? [23:31] twinview [23:31] coz_: well, its working here fine, with kwin [23:31] under that setup [23:32] have you tried kwin to see if that works (will tell you if its compiz or not)? [23:32] James147, on dual monitors a single wallpaper is "spanned" onto secondary monitor ? not dubplicated? [23:32] coz_: in kde its ment to be dulicated... well, not duplicated, but a seperate wall papaer (it can be the same or different) [23:33] James147, yeah that is the problem... [23:33] James147, I want a single wallpaper spanned across both monitors [23:33] James147, gnome has taken a similar approach however on gnome I can edit an image to the resolution of combined monitors and it spans well however on kde it doesn seem to work that way [23:33] coz_: I presonally dont see the point in a stretched wall papaer, then the only ones that look and good are the ones designed for two screens, but then I ahve to ask why you cant just have two seprate wallpapaers... [23:34] coz_: you could try splitting the image in two and displaying each half on either screen [23:34] thats about the only way I think is possible [23:34] James147, that doesn work [23:34] James147, this used to work on kde prior to this version as I recall [23:35] coz_: which version? [23:35] James147, I dont see the sense of NOt having the span option [23:35] James147, early 4.0 [23:35] coz_: it has always worked here and still does [23:36] James147, no it has changed dramatically since early 4.0 dual monitor span is no longer available and was hoping there was a work around or plans to re incorporate that otherwise kde is useless to me [23:36] so I am guessing this is not going to change...well ok I will use kde only for testing compiz .... thanks [23:36] hola [23:40] hey James147... someone on gentoo (+kde 4.5.1) has problems with mic input... does pulseaudio solve the issue?
