| dev001 | Hi. I'm doing a 1st ppa-based update to a Kubuntu/Maverick rc install. Trying to grab the 'new' KDE 4.5.2 pkgs @ "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu maverick main", after 'apt-get update', I'd expect to see *lots* of offered pkg updates by 'apt-get upgrade'. Atm, I only see a couple ~ 30MB worth ... Is there additional prioritization, or some such, required? Still newish to [K]ubuntu | 00:15 |

| RadSurfer | HELP! this stupid "notification" for pidgin messages IN ADDITION to actually having pidgin chat is rediculous! How do I TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS of every incoming message! | 00:52 |
| RadSurfer | someone know how to TURN THIS GARBAGE OFF | 00:53 |
| DarthFrog | What is pidgin? | 00:53 |
| RadSurfer | instant messenger of course | 00:53 |
| DarthFrog | Of course? Hmm. anyway, there will undoubtedly be a setting to twiddle in the Preferences settings. | 00:54 |
| alexsarmiento | system settings- applications and system notifications? | 00:54 |
| alexsarmiento | the package manager updated the nvidia drivers to 260.19.06 | 00:55 |
| alexsarmiento | now i dont have video output. what can i do? | 00:55 |
| RadSurfer | you can't just turn off these stupid things? | 00:57 |
| RadSurfer | 'pidgin' is not listed under 'Sys Not - sys settings' !! | 00:58 |
| RadSurfer | ANYONE know how to DISABLE NOTIFICATIONS from Pidgin? | 01:01 |
| Riddell | RadSurfer: Pidgin is a gnome app, you'll have better luck asking in #ubuntu | 01:01 |
| Riddell | or using Kopete | 01:01 |
| RadSurfer | this is RETARTED | 01:01 |
| RadSurfer | RETARDED even! | 01:01 |
| RadSurfer | Piging provides its own interface for messages; an ADDITIONAL one is NOT required! | 01:01 |
| RadSurfer | this is being SYSTEM GENERATED | 01:02 |
| Riddell | best to avoid capitals and potentially offensive insults on IRC | 01:02 |
| RadSurfer | emphasis. | 01:02 |
| RadSurfer | s/Piging/Pidgin | 01:03 |
| RadSurfer | Anyone at all know how to turn __off__ these additional notifications for pidgin? anyone? | 01:04 |
| Riddell | RadSurfer: as I say, you're asking in the wrong channel | 01:05 |
| RadSurfer | running in kubuntu. valid enuff. | 01:06 |
| KukuNut | RadSurfer: to disable it.. replace with kopete | 01:06 |
| RadSurfer | why did I lose the system tray? | 01:07 |
| RadSurfer | I have no system tray now? where did it go? and why? | 01:07 |
| === root is now known as Guest79670 | ||
| RadSurfer | has to be with _focus_ apparently. | 01:09 |
| alexsarmiento | the package manager updated the nvidia drivers to 260.19.06 | 01:09 |
| alexsarmiento | now i dont have video output. what can i do? | 01:09 |
| RadSurfer | when Pidgin does not have focus, thats when these annoying popups appear | 01:09 |
| RadSurfer | does _anyone_ know how to _permanently_ turn _off_ popup notifications from pidgin? | 01:13 |
| RadSurfer | surely someone else in here also uses pidgin? | 01:16 |
| alexsarmiento | the package manager updated the nvidia drivers to 260.19.06 | 01:16 |
| alexsarmiento | now i dont have video output. what can i do? | 01:16 |
| jtduncan | where can i find the new kubuntu logos? | 01:16 |
| RadSurfer | No one answered me yet: Why did I lose System Tray icons? | 01:18 |
| frogonwheels | RadSurfer: just add a system tray to your toolbar again (click on the palette icon) | 01:27 |
| frogonwheels | RadSurfer: (Add widgets - find system tray) | 01:27 |
| frogonwheels | alexsarmiento: if you can press ctrl+alt+f1 and get a console - do that, login and use aptitude to downgrade your drivers. | 01:28 |
| frogonwheels | alexsarmiento: otherwsie, select rescue mode from the grub boot | 01:28 |
| buckethead | Hi guys. I've got a printing problem. Anytime I try to print from any KDE app I get "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf failed" - yet printing works from firefox? | 01:30 |
| RadSurfer | silly Q: how best to get to 'add widget' | 01:32 |
| frogonwheels | RadSurfer: did you click on the palette icon? | 01:32 |
| buckethead | Do you see a 'cashew' looking thing in the upper right hand corner of desktop? | 01:32 |
| frogonwheels | RadSurfer: actually it should be at the end of the toolbar | 01:32 |
| buckethead | Erm, System Tray.. Haha. Came in halfway, sorry. | 01:33 |
| RadSurfer | ok. I found that. trying to sort out how to select it | 01:33 |
| RadSurfer | Ah | 01:33 |
| RadSurfer | well that aspect of kubuntu hasn't changed. | 01:34 |
| RadSurfer | I need to sort out a few things here. | 01:34 |
| RadSurfer | and again, thanks for helping. | 01:35 |
| frogonwheels | RadSurfer: np. | 01:35 |
| RadSurfer | would you believe I used sidux for awhile. Sidux never had its sys-tray desintegrate | 01:35 |
| RadSurfer | and sidux didn't annoy me with these notifications. | 01:36 |
| RadSurfer | I suppose, I'll have to weigh how well other tasks are performed in kubuntu :) | 01:37 |
| RadSurfer | OK! | 01:42 |
| RadSurfer | I found out what was causing my "notifications" | 01:43 |
| RadSurfer | For you pidgin users out there: | 01:43 |
| RadSurfer | There is a plugin which is turned on by default; to disable those popups when chat-window is covered, just turn of "libnotify" plugin! | 01:43 |

| DarthFrog | bullgard4: It's actually the program "systemsettings". And it'll be "Application Appearance/Style", not Personal Settings. But why would an email care what widgets you use? I would be *extremely* suspicious. | 06:45 |

| bullgard4 | DarthFrog: It is the developer of this KDE application program who suggested that in an email answer. | 07:45 |
| DarthFrog | bullgard4: OK, that's probably safe then. :-) | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | So far I did not install the DEB program package »systemsettings«. Installing it would further blow up storage usage just for one program. | 07:50 |
| DarthFrog | You don't have to install it. It's there already. | 07:51 |
| DarthFrog | In the menu, It should already be in "Favourites". | 07:52 |
| bullgard4 | I do not understand. A file exists although the associated package is not installed? | 07:52 |
| DarthFrog | Or press ALT-F2 and type "systemsettings". | 07:52 |
| === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch | ||
| DarthFrog | It's the main utility of your system. :-) | 07:53 |

| bullgard4 | ALT-F2 > "systemsettings" throws an error "location »file:///home/detlef/systemsettings« could not be displayed." | 07:56 |
| DarthFrog | strange. | 07:57 |
| DarthFrog | Do you have the kubuntu-desktop package installed? Or just a KDE app? | 07:58 |
| bullgard4 | DarthFrog: The DEB program package »kubuntu-desktop« is not installed. | 07:59 |
| DarthFrog | OK, you're in the wrong channel. This is for Kubuntu support. I take it you're running GNOME in Ubuntu. You should be asking for help in #Ubuntu. | 08:00 |
| bullgard4 | Ok. | 08:01 |
| DarthFrog | Or install "kubuntu-desktop" which will allow you to run KDE as well. | 08:01 |
| bullgard4 | I will not. I will not waste 1 GB HDD storage in ordert to just use one KDE application. In Lucid this was not necessary either. | 08:03 |

| BluesKaj | lucid is LTS | 15:15 |
| phoenix_ | luicd is a huge step in ui and also in certain things, you have to wait | 15:16 |

| sebersole | connect to a vpn | 15:36 |
| sebersole | actually not able to get kvpnc working now either | 15:36 |
| BluesKaj | sebersole, maybe you should portmap the IPs in /etc/hosts.allow , for example under portmap list the IPs you want to have access on your network like this , ALL:192.168.x.x | 15:36 |
| sebersole | BluesKaj: dont follow | 15:37 |
| sebersole | i work remote and am trying to connect to my companies vpn | 15:38 |
| sebersole | which is vpnc based | 15:38 |
| sebersole | it works fine under gnome | 15:38 |
| sebersole | but i am never able to get it to work in kde | 15:38 |
| sebersole | in gnome it works using the nm-applet | 15:39 |
| sebersole | i set up the vpn/vpnc connection in nm-applet and then seelct it via the tray app to connect | 15:39 |
| sebersole | the same fails on kde | 15:40 |
| sebersole | using the kde network manager tray app thing | 15:40 |
| sebersole | in fedora kde they recommend users totally uninstall all kde network manager stuff | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | sebersole, remove the network-manager-kde and install the gnome-network-manager ..see if that works for you | 15:41 |
| sebersole | and use the gnome nm-applet | 15:41 |

| BluesKaj | sebersole, there' no point in using apps that don't work whether they're kde or gtk ..I still prefer synaptic for app references ..I even use it sometimes | 15:46 |
| BluesKaj | Im using kde cuz i prefer the "look" and layout , but I'm not afraid to muse gnome apps if need be. | 15:48 |

| tech_ | hello? | 17:05 |
| fornitani | hi | 17:05 |
| tech_ | anyone available to help a total linux noob? | 17:06 |
| fornitani | sure. what do you need? | 17:06 |
| tech_ | i just installed kubuntu on a workstation in order to test it | 17:07 |
| tech_ | and i wanted to install thunderbird as my email client | 17:07 |
| tech_ | so i downloaded it | 17:07 |
| tech_ | and then selected extract | 17:07 |
| tech_ | but don't know how to install it! | 17:07 |
| fornitani | applications in linux are usually installed as "packages" | 17:08 |
| tech_ | i've spent more time than i care to discuss looking through forums for an answer | 17:08 |
| fornitani | you need to go that little blue "K" in the left bottom | 17:08 |
| tech_ | they are talking way over my heqad | 17:08 |
| tech_ | head | 17:08 |
| tech_ | mention of "synaptics" and other things i apparently don't have... | 17:08 |
| tech_ | sorry...just frustrated... | 17:09 |
| tech_ | ok the little blue k... | 17:09 |
| fornitani | Well, in Kubuntu it is the "KPackagekit" | 17:09 |
| fornitani | After clicking the little K, type "kpack" in the search box in the upper part | 17:09 |
| fornitani | Can you see it? | 17:10 |
| tech_ | ahhh ok i found the kpackagekit | 17:10 |
| tech_ | earlier | 17:10 |
| tech_ | and selected updates | 17:10 |
| tech_ | which is currently running | 17:10 |
| tech_ | it says updating packages.. | 17:10 |
| fornitani | Hm...I guess you'll have to wait the update | 17:10 |
| tech_ | ok just finished...now it wants a restart but that can wait | 17:11 |
| fornitani | ok | 17:11 |
| fornitani | So, in Kpackagekit, just search for "thunderbird", without quotes | 17:11 |
| === mr is now known as nairesha | ||
| tech_ | oh wow...pages of thunderbird icons | 17:11 |
| fornitani | have you found it? | 17:12 |
| tech_ | i've found pages of thunderbird icons by searching for thunderbird | 17:12 |
| fornitani | You need the one whose name is only "thunderbird" | 17:13 |
| fornitani | There's an icon, a description and underneath that a name | 17:14 |
| fornitani | maybe "thunderbird-de", etc | 17:14 |
| tech_ | there isn't one | 17:14 |
| fornitani | You need the one named only "thunderbird" | 17:14 |
| tech_ | ohhhhh ok i was looking at description i guess | 17:14 |
| fornitani | If you want a quicker, but not so quick understandable way, you can open the application "konsole" and paste this: "sudo aptitude install thunderbird | 17:15 |
| fornitani | " without quotes | 17:15 |
| tech_ | ok i have 2 that say only thunderbird | 17:15 |
| fornitani | hm...there's a number after it, right? | 17:16 |
| tech_ | the descriptions on both say "mail/news client with rss and integrated spam filter support" | 17:16 |
| fornitani | yes, that one | 17:16 |
| tech_ | they look identical...no number | 17:16 |
| fornitani | hover the mouse over them | 17:16 |
| fornitani | mine shows "thunderbird 3.0.4...." and also "thunderbird 3.0.8..." | 17:17 |
| tech_ | yes | 17:17 |
| fornitani | install the 3.0.8 | 17:17 |
| tech_ | and amd64 at the end | 17:17 |
| fornitani | yes | 17:17 |
| tech_ | ok i selected it...it turned blue | 17:18 |
| fornitani | right, now click "apply" | 17:18 |
| tech_ | apply is grayed out | 17:18 |
| tech_ | wow and suddenly it "ungrayed" | 17:19 |
| fornitani | ah, first you need to select the arrow at the right side of the package | 17:19 |
| tech_ | ok i clicked apply | 17:19 |
| tech_ | it's loading | 17:19 |
| fornitani | =) | 17:19 |
| fornitani | that's it | 17:19 |
| fornitani | are you using kubuntu version 10.04? | 17:19 |
| tech_ | 10.04.1 yes | 17:20 |
| fornitani | hm, I suggest you to install the package "software-center" | 17:21 |
| fornitani | it is easier to understand than the Kpackage version that ships with kubuntu 10.04 | 17:21 |
| tech_ | i love the idea of linux in general & i would like to migrate away from windows eventually but i run a network here & cannot migrate until i fully understand this OS | 17:21 |
| tech_ | software-center? what does it do? | 17:22 |
| fornitani | it is also a way to install those "packages" (applications), but is easier to understand, many say | 17:22 |
| fornitani | So it will free you time to discover important things, other than waste time finding out how to install something =) | 17:23 |
| tech_ | thank you! | 17:24 |
| fornitani | You're welcome! =) | 17:24 |
| tech_ | btw it currently says "simulating the install...loading cache" | 17:24 |
| fornitani | I'm glad I could help, this is my very first time here at kubuntu irc | 17:24 |
| tech_ | wow really? me too | 17:25 |
| fornitani | Hm, I'm afraid I can't help at this message, I've never seen it | 17:25 |
| fornitani | There's not some kind of time counter, etc? | 17:25 |
| fornitani | Maybe if you wait a bit it will disappear | 17:26 |
| tech_ | i was getting frustrated...i didn't have time to read through the forums for hours | 17:26 |
| tech_ | yes it seems to be progressing | 17:27 |
| fornitani | Yes, at first it was a little frustrating for me too. But now I use Ubuntu/Kubuntu for more than 2 years and can use it with (almost) no problems | 17:28 |
| tech_ | i know it just takes awhile to learn a new system | 17:29 |
| tech_ | it took me awhile to learn windows years ago too | 17:29 |
| fornitani | Hm, maybe all systems are easier nowadays, even Windows | 17:30 |
| fornitani | But I think Linux (especially Ubuntu and similars) has become easier than others OSes | 17:31 |
| tech_ | i installed regular ubuntu on my laptop at home but i have not had any time to explore it so i installed kubuntu on this workstation here at work so i'll have more time to learn it | 17:31 |
| tech_ | once i become familiar w it i want to install the server version & test that as well | 17:31 |
| fornitani | Yes, the learning curve is minimal. You just need to adapt to where to find menus and such things | 17:31 |
| fornitani | Installation of programs, etc is a lot easier than windows | 17:32 |
| fornitani | No viruses and such trouble, also =) | 17:32 |
| tech_ | i am searching for software center now | 17:34 |
| tech_ | wow really? | 17:35 |
| tech_ | i was wondering about that | 17:35 |
| tech_ | i wondered which AV software to run on this machine | 17:35 |
| fornitani | there's no need to run those because of the security system (you need to allow the program to do something, typing your password. Also, the programs are usually downloaded from oficial sources - like the one you've just downloaded) | 17:38 |
| tech_ | that's good news | 17:47 |

| altrortla | no tips? | 18:15 |
| fornitani | You can disable apic, using the boot option "noapic" | 18:19 |
| fornitani | I don't remember well, but I think the first screen of the live CD offers the "other boot options" | 18:19 |
| fornitani | There's start Kubuntu, install, etc | 18:20 |
| altrortla | yes there's | 18:20 |
| altrortla | i've just try to install | 18:20 |
| fornitani | Try booting with those other options | 18:20 |
| altrortla | ok | 18:20 |

| iNfRaC00L | What could be wrong with my KMix? It's only volume-bar there while I know there were more; for pcm, line-in, mic.... | 23:21 |
| iNfRaC00L | Now it says that device is Internal Audio Analog Stereo but it should be Intel HDA Audio | 23:22 |
| iNfRaC00L | http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/6hQszGc1 | 23:23 |
| iNfRaC00L | I have sound (system, movies, flash) but I need other controls as well. Is there a way I could make KMix to reconfigure itself, or should I purge- reinstall it? | 23:23 |
| Se7en | iNfRaC00L: are you using ALSA ? | 23:24 |
| dasKreech | iNfRaC00L: I have two machines one won't work with internal Audio Analog the other only supports the real sound card | 23:25 |
| dasKreech | kinda strange :) | 23:25 |
| iNfRaC00L | it says Pulse Audio Sound System | 23:25 |
| iNfRaC00L | but i have some alsa stuff installed | 23:25 |
| iNfRaC00L | I don't know how it happened ... maybe wine | 23:26 |
| iNfRaC00L | restarting is no cure | 23:27 |
| Se7en | iNfRaC00L: try ALSA instead | 23:27 |
| Se7en | I didnt mean installing ALSA I meant using ALSA as your sound plugin instead os PulseAudio | 23:28 |
| iNfRaC00L | but I cannot choose | 23:28 |
| iNfRaC00L | it's only Pulse there | 23:29 |
| Se7en | open up the Terminal and enter alsamixer | 23:29 |
| iNfRaC00L | that seems to be ok | 23:29 |
| iNfRaC00L | there is PCM, MIC ,LINE | 23:30 |
| Se7en | is that what you need to see ? | 23:30 |
| iNfRaC00L | yes | 23:30 |
| Se7en | alright then | 23:30 |
| iNfRaC00L | well thanx | 23:30 |
| Se7en | anytime | 23:31 |
| iNfRaC00L | so i guess KMix is history for now | 23:31 |
| Se7en | you actually CAN restore the controls to it by choosing ALSA as your plugin (I think ) | 23:32 |
