[00:10] Hey, i have a question. Sometimes when im palying music with Amarok, my computer will freeze. However, it will only freeze my screen, and not my mouse. My mouse will work and move as normal, but will not be able to interact with anything. Is there anyway to prevent this or recover from the problem? [00:12] it just happened again [00:13] Im sorry, i just crashed again. Did anyone answer? [00:14] that happens to me when i have a kernel panic [00:15] oh? and how can i avoid that? [00:15] mine was hardware related... so i went with a different usb device [00:16] err usb networking device [00:16] Oh [00:16] Would this hardware issue be present in Windows? It does not occur anywhere except for Kubuntu [00:17] so, for me, it was the driver causing the kernel panic. Driver would be different in windows [00:18] if it occurs only when playing music, maybe sound card drivers? [00:18] Ah, ok i understand now. I think it is most likely my graphics card, as when im playing music, the music still continues through the freeze. So my new question would be, how do i install a nVidia Driver? [00:18] hrm, its been a while, but I was able to install it through the packages [00:19] i don't remember more than that [00:19] So in KPackageKit? [00:19] Need help === serverbox is now known as Mask [00:19] let me open up my Kubuntu vm [00:20] i had a "hardware Drivers" option, not through the KPackageKit [00:22] Ok, i found it, Thank You. Only time can tell now if i will freeze again. Wish me luck :D [00:22] good luck, hope it helps [00:24] connor_: you can always run amarok from the console [00:24] amarok -d --nofork [00:24] What do you mean? [00:24] and see what the output is, when it's freezing [00:24] oh so you mean ALT+f1 [00:24] I mean, rather than starting it by clicking the icon [00:24] Oh, [00:25] I'm not sure alt+f1 gives you a readout [00:25] Actually, now that i think about it. I froze it in the same way when i was clicking too much in the file browser. [00:25] I think you have to start a console [00:26] either konsole, yatatuake (sp?) or control+alt+f5 ? [00:26] not sure ont eh f key [00:26] Ah ok, ill try that. [00:26] I use konsole [00:26] there is LOTS of output [00:26] yeah, ok [00:26] but when it's freezing, if it is [00:27] you might get a clue that way [00:37] hi guys ... I have a question ... I use Kubuntu in a dual-monitor setup and I very often move windows to the edge of one monitor ... but if i do that the shadow of that window is shown on the other desktop [00:38] is there a way to prevent that ? === muzer is now known as MuzerAway [00:44] smooph1, apart from completely turning off shadows, there may be an app for that. Look up "dual monitors" or even "monitors" in KPackageKit === bruno is now known as Guest82772 [01:13] hi [01:15] hallo [01:16] is for a laptop bettere to use Kubuntu than Ubuntu? [01:16] Im a linux noob but was trying to try one through windows install to not mess with windows [01:17] logan, it's a matter of taste [01:17] if you like KDE more than Gnome, you'll like Kubuntu [01:18] * valoriez is using kubuntu 10.10 on a laptop right now [01:18] and I love it [01:18] Everything Works [01:18] And while Ubuntu Live was ok I seem to have issues with installing. then not finding boot drive then finally worked and tried to install flash plugin for firefox and stuck on 6^ till screen went black with a unresponsive text select cursor [01:18] when it was a dual boot, windows was fine [01:19] I'm not enough of an expert to guide you through an install, however [01:20] I start wondering what I did wrong, lol. It seems harder than windows to me unfortionly, asked for help in Ubuntu, but got no response. been trying for a few hours already, so I thought meybe deinstall ubuntu and try kubuntu to see if it makes a difference [01:21] I did in windows install not to mess with partitions etc [01:22] now it didn't boot into ubuntu, just a black screen and a cursor [01:22] could be an in windows install issue, I don't know [01:22] sorry, phone [01:24] and I don't really understand the difference bewtween the ubuntu and kubuntu, well they look different, lol [01:26] sorry, phone [01:26] I need a Winiso replacement for Ubuntu, I need to be able to edit ISO files, not ruin the boot sectors of the ISO 9664 filesystem, have a decent interface (gtk or QT it doesn't matter) build ISO files, and burn them all in one nifty little package like Winiso [01:28] k3b does a decent job of making images, but I really need something that can edit them on the fly like Winiso [01:30] endafy: Qt, not QT, which is QuickTime [01:30] im taking a break for now, gonna tatch some tv . thanks for the time [01:30] LOGAN: ubuntu runs the Gnome desktop [01:30] and apps [01:30] Kubuntu runs the KDE desktop, and apps [01:31] you can use the other desktop's apps [01:31] but in general, choose the one with the apps you like the most [01:31] if it were quicktime I would have specified, linux is not OSX [01:31] endafy: sure, but it's Qt [01:31] anyway, dinnertime! [01:31] and GTK != Gnome [01:32] correct, that's true [01:32] I just want to be able to edit ISO files without mounting them as a loop because it messes with the 9660 and 9664 boot sectors if you edit it [01:33] and I have to completely rebbuild the ISO [01:49] somehow I start to suspect part of the trouble is that my internet connection is wimping out on me all the time [01:49] weird.. [01:50] must be something in linux as windows seems ok, fast and stable [01:56] meh had connection again, tried installing Blender and poof, connection lost, also mouse not moving anymore. [01:56] * LOGAN cries [01:58] booting back to windows and removing again, for now I stick to Live CD [01:58] unless live CD is acting up as well nowadays [01:59] thanks for the support, Ill look into it again at another time [02:24] Hi all. Anyone know if there has been any progress on the Xinerama causign X to segfault on qt applications? I've been dead in the water since the upgrade to 10.10 :-/ [02:43] KSudoku crashes/freezes on me when I try to select a different game such as 16x16 or 25x25 [02:44] has kubuntu the minimize, mazimize and close buttons on the top right side of the windows? [02:48] LOGAN: I believe you can set that up in systemsettings [02:49] but the default is top right [02:50] hi all I'm having trouble with KSudoku crashing/hanging when I select a puzzle that is 25x25 or 16x16, can anyone assist? [02:51] slooksterpsv: have you filed a bug? [02:51] valoriez: i have not [02:51] dr. konqui should pop up for you [02:51] and offer to add debug packages if needed [02:51] that doesn't pop-up it just hangs and then I tell it to terminate [02:51] it's worth the time if you are willing to do so [02:52] oh, that sucks [02:52] I am, is there a way I can invoke it when running the program? [02:52] have you tried running it from Konsole, to see what happens? === amd is now known as kruckss [02:52] like you can do with valgrind [02:53] yeah all I receive is a warning about i-bus [02:53] well, you can run it in gdb [02:54] can not get i-bus daemon's address [02:54] http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Debugging_(documentation) <--- this is amarok documentation [02:54] but it should work in much the same way [02:55] !bug [02:55] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [02:55] or you can do it against kubuntu, this way ^^^ [02:56] ah thanks valoriez because Ubuntu has recently switched those to the top left and needs trickery to make them correct again. Not very nice. Anyway it kept crashing so ill check out kubuntu tomorrow [02:56] cool, LOGAN [02:56] LOGAN, not much trickery involved, there is a clear command to change it, or just change the theme even [02:57] bazhang: if I show a live cd at friends I want it as simple and good as possible by default :) [02:58] try explain to windows users that setting something as trivial as those buttons, lol [02:58] most people I know would have given up already when Im still fighting these things :D [02:59] lets hope its not an hardware issue Im having though [02:59] ok so it's not crashing, it's just taking a lot of time to generate the puzzle lol [02:59] sorry :( [02:59] the problem I have with the liveCD is it is slow [02:59] slooksterpsv: that's the problem with gdb [02:59] well seems like I created MOTAS in less time :P [02:59] s l o w [03:00] ok I lied, MOTAS took like 9 years LOL [03:00] (not fulltime ofcourse) [03:01] * LOGAN gets coffee [03:03] well I do run linux... my HD media player as well as my eReader run some flavor of linux === banjooie is now known as conduitConvectio [03:17] So, I'm having issues with usb-creator-kde where it says my USB stick needs to be formatted...but it IS formatted, and clicking 'format' just makes the program unresponsive for a while. [03:17] have you tried formatting fat 32 in windows? [03:17] the USB stick that is :) [03:18] many USB sticks come out of the box formatted in FAT :/ [03:18] Which is logical I guess [03:19] hmm and I always doublecheck if I selected the correct device , lol, just to be sure [03:20] Yeah, I've done that. [03:20] how large is your USB stick btw? [03:21] 4GB [03:21] mine is vfat, and the app worked fine [03:21] that should be enough (without huge persistant) [03:21] faster than a CD [03:22] vfat?? Hmm maybe I confused. I used Universal USB installer 1.8.0.5 === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [03:24] it didn't mention formatting, and it worked fine [03:25] I made the bootable usb in lucid [03:25] and used it to install Maverick === amd is now known as kruckss_ === kruckss_ is now known as kruckss [05:29] olá [05:47] hello [05:49] can anybody help me how to put split files back into one file? [05:50] i have this downloaded files which are in zip files [05:59] hmmm so are they like zip.part1 zip.part2, etc.? [05:59] mjay ? [06:00] i dont know === FireCrotch is now known as nickmoeck [06:01] the files have like .ro0 to .ro21 extensions [06:01] * Islington is away: Gone away for now [06:02] but the icons show files in archive or in zip folder each [06:02] its actually a movie file [06:03] i've already unzip all files but i'm hoping that i can get them altogether into 1 file [06:04] slooksterpsv: do you know how to do it? [06:05] .ro? weird [06:05] yup [06:05] wait [06:05] im going to look at the files again [06:06] can you download winrar on wine and use it to extract the ro files? winrar can do it [06:08] how is it done? === nmartin is now known as paco867 [06:09] i have looked at the files again and yeah the files are with .r00 to .r47 extensions === ronnie is now known as powered-by-linux [06:22] hi , all ; ) [06:25] I'm using (Hardy) updated version of Kubuntu on a Dell Laptop, the udated version is awesome cause it had the proper wi-fi on the iso : ) tho I really really want it on my desktop!, so my question is as follows= [06:27] can I connect the laptop up as a network to get the packages I want, as the adapter for the desktop is not linux friendly : ) [06:27] powered-by-linux let me read through that again I got confused [06:27] the adaptor? [06:27] mjay where did you download the file from? [06:28] I mean, adapter [06:28] like share your internet connection from wifi to ethernet? [06:28] you can certainly download an .iso on one computer, and us it on another [06:29] * Islington is back. [06:29] you can even use Windows to install kubuntu [06:29] with Wubi [06:29] from torrent [06:31] it almost looks like archive manager (file-roller I believe it's called) will extract it [06:31] yes I have installed linux on it before, but as I can't get on the net with it, can't pick my packages, hmm wubi eh?, hmmm **thinks** [06:32] oh yeah absolutely powered-by-linux - you'd just add the cd that you burn the iso to as a source in software center, though I'd recommend a reformat and reinstall [06:33] can I burn an iso using (k3b) or something, that will keep all the packages I choose, like the way I set up the laptop? [06:33] you mean you can get on the net with it now [06:33] but not with linux? [06:34] extract it and bind all the files into one file? [06:34] Hi! I do not see how to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 [06:35] mjay do you have file-roller on your computer? [06:35] alesan: what are you using to upgrade? [06:35] i dont think so [06:35] kpackagekit? [06:35] only ark [06:35] valoriez, kpackagekit? [06:36] mjay - download file-roller it's a gnome item, but works wonders, otherwise, you'll need wine + winrar [06:36] oh ok I need to vi /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [06:36] have you updated recoently? [06:36] and set it to normal [06:36] you have to do all updates first [06:36] valoriez, of course [06:36] before upgrading [06:36] how to do it with a sudo command? [06:36] yes of course [06:36] sudo apt-get update [06:37] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:37] slooksterpsv: how to do it with a sudo command? [06:37] but kpackagekit should have a choice up in the top bar once everything is updated [06:38] ok thanks! [06:38] I close everything while it performs the upgrade [06:38] bye! [06:38] mjay - sudo apt-get install file-roller [06:38] slooksterpsv: ok thanks [06:38] thx alot for the ideas, I'll try a few things, I do know getting the packages seperately is useless, as some need 40 to 50 dependcies, which would take forever haha! [06:39] valoriez - question, when I log into Gnome it doesn't give me the window borders on the windows, I have Ubuntu but installed kubuntu-desktop from the repos, would that have affected that? [06:39] slooksterpsv: in 10.04 ? [06:40] * valoriez didn't have good luck with that combo in 10.04 [06:40] didn't try it in 10.10 [06:40] I did a clean install [06:40] straight kubuntu [06:40] slooksterpsv: if you run "metacity --replace" from a terminal in gnome, that should bring the borders back [06:41] I've had trouble with the kde-on-top-of-ubuntu [06:41] although lots of people have great luck with that [06:41] and switch back and forth [06:41] about to restart, however === root is now known as Guest94640 [06:42] ok perfect === piano is now known as Guest76792 [06:42] I'm liking Kubuntu now, but I like my Gnome; I just need a 64-bit lxde and I'll be set =P [06:43] **Lubuntu 64-bit, not just lxde lol [06:43] * slooksterpsv shakes head for being so confusing. [06:45] what do you guys use for your default music players? [06:45] Amarok [06:45] I was looking for something like foobar2000 [06:45] I saw a program (Qt) that looked a lot like it on reddit. [06:45] haven't used foobar2000 [06:45] Let me see if I can find it again. [06:46] foobar2000 (windows-only) is a very minimalistic music player, but it rocks. [06:46] was it... guayadec or sommat like that [06:46] Not sure [06:46] Something about.. meat? [06:46] o_0 [06:47] lol === mjay is now known as migumi [06:47] I use Exaile, I like Exaile, it's small light and built with python [06:47] Ah, found it [06:47] http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/ [06:47] hahaha, I thought you were joking about meat wow that's good, have you tried a cli audio player? [06:47] Hmm... I thoguht it had a Qt interface... [06:48] never used one. [06:48] though I think deadbeef is a console app as well [06:48] I haven't used it, I just think it looks a lot like foobar2000 [06:49] I'm abotu to install Kubuntu 10.10 [06:49] I always love KDE / Kubuntu, but for some reason I always go back to Windows. :S [06:50] Not sure why, just find things easier to do there, I've been with Ubuntu / Kubuntu / OpenSuSE (and other linux distros) since about 2004 though [06:50] Just always found Windows easier to use. [06:50] Perhaps I Just haven't had enough time to let it sink in ;) [06:50] anyway, be back later. [06:51] how do i connect to a wifi network via command line? [07:01] Darkriftx you still here? [07:02] hmm, for some reason every now and again my control, alt, super, tab and shit keys just 'stop working' [07:02] unplugging the keyboard and replacing it fixes the problem [07:02] DarkriftX - You type in: sudo iwconfig essid "yournetworkname" key "ifyouhaveakey" or that [07:03] Kalidarn - what version of Kubuntu are you running? [07:03] i'm using Kubuntu 10.10, with KDE 4.5.2, I have the latest version of VMWare Workstation open 7.1.2 build-301548 [07:03] i've tried googling about for answers but have had trouble finding stuff relevant [07:03] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45359 i did see this [07:04] but i had been using gnome for quite a few months and have not ever experienced this once [07:04] Kalidarn - not sure... I'd post on Ubuntuforums.org and see if someone can help you out, unless someone in here knows what to do [07:05] im wondering what log i should look in [07:05] kdm.log? [07:05] or perhaps the xorg log [07:05] i didn't see anything in dmesg or messages [07:10] not sure... [07:16] slooksterpsv: it appears kubuntu doesn't have a forum on ubuntuforus.com [07:16] forums [07:17] slooksterpsv: hey, still it wont work. [07:17] the archiver thingy [07:18] a general help looks like the place to post [07:18] migumi oh ok, try winrar in wine [07:19] Kalidarn - Ubuntuforums they do issues with anything Ubuntu pretty much, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and as of lately even Lubuntu, posting there won't hurt at all I've posted issues on Lubuntu and been able to get them resolved, same with Kubuntu, plus it's better than the IRC cause if someone searches for a resolution to the same issue you're is posted if you resolve it [07:20] what is that? not that used to kubuntu terms [07:20] all i know is winrar in windows [07:21] what is wine? [07:21] migumi: wine is a compatibility layer that lets you run some windows apps with varying degrees of working [07:21] !wine [07:21] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [07:21] WINE = WINE Is Not Emulation [07:21] !virtualizers > slooksterpsv [07:21] slooksterpsv, please see my private message [07:21] slooksterpsv: right. technically a reimplementation of the win32 api [07:22] yup [07:22] WINE + WinRar especially on corrupt files is great! [07:23] hey, does anybody know how to stop kdesudo from asking for password when automounting drive? [07:23] mokush - add it to your fstab [07:23] mokush - use pysdm - it's easy, and all you do is click a couple of items; and it adds it to your fstab so each time you boot/reboot the drive is still mounted, only issue is if the drive is not availalbe it may give you error messages [07:24] unless there's another way, but that's the only way I know how [07:24] so you say stop using the built-in "system setting" to mount, and manualy mount using fstab? [07:25] thanks for trying to help me out everyone but im having a hard time here understanding you. i feel like im an alien here. poor me. [07:25] migumi: what was your problem? i dont see it [07:26] how about stopping kwallet from asking for password on startup? [07:26] migumi [07:27] migumi - go to a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get install wine -or open... what is it in Ubuntu, kpackagekit? and search for wine and install that [07:27] i was like having a movie file here which is split into 45 zip files [07:27] actually migumi, do this, I can make it into a script to automate it for you if you'd like? [07:28] and i am hoping that i can extract all of them and condense it again into one movie file [07:28] that is my problem maco [07:28] ok ill try that slooksterpsv [07:30] migumi: unzip *.zip ? [07:30] thatd unzip them all [07:30] slooksterpsv: how am i be able to uninstall the archve manager which you told me a while ago to try first? [07:30] maco: i want to unzip the files [07:30] that would unzip them, yes [07:30] oh um [07:30] in case its not clear (as i just noticed), "unzip" is a command [07:31] migumi - i'm going to pm you with the command it's long [07:31] oh i already tried that one using ark [07:31] maco:oh i already tried that one using ark [07:32] but i only got them into smaller separate files [07:32] id use cat to put them together [07:32] migumi, just run that command in terminal it will download and install wine, download winrar, start the winrar installation then open up winrar so you can open the .ro files [07:33] cat file1 file2 file3 file4 > movie.avi [07:33] oh if you don't like sudo, I can do ksudo or kdesudo so it pops-up the window to prompt you for your password [07:36] what is cat maco? [07:37] migumi: catenate. it attaches things end to end [07:37] how can i get it into my system?

[07:42] i found a solution, shut down the vm, and restart pulseaudio [07:43] does anyone know of a pulseaudio bug regarding cpu usage [07:43] ive heard it's had a lot of problems in the past [07:43] (simply shutting down vmware-vmx) doesn't fix it have to also kill pulse audio and restart so im not sure what the case is with that [07:49] * Islington is away: Gone away for now [07:52] !away | Islington [07:52] Islington: You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users.

[08:26] comics? [08:26] it doesn't appear at all like comics to me [08:26] i just hated pressing alt+tab key everytime i switch to another windos [08:26] i just hated pressing alt+tab key everytime i switch to another window [08:26] !enter | alesan , Peace- [08:26] alesan , Peace-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:26] kyubutsu, are you drunk :) ??? [08:26] i wish? [08:26] ok sorry [08:27] computerillitera: do you want a toolbar, you mean? [08:27] * kyubutsu shrugs [08:27] but just tell me how to get rid of this font and go back to something classic [08:27] kyubutsu: i am here to support kubuntu since 3 year i think i know rulez [08:27] i dont know how you call it [08:27] you can just use your mouse scroll to move through apps or desktops if you like also [08:27] but i want my kubuntu to act like the one in windows OS [08:28] * valorie_ prefers to use a toolbar [08:28] well, it's been so long since I used windows [08:28] I don't know how they are doing things now [08:28] computerillitera, yes the ALT+TAB on KDE has always been... useless [08:28] that when you try to minimize an application it will only stay below your desktop === valorie_ is now known as valoriez [08:29] alesan: I believe in systemsettings, you set your fonts [08:29] size, type, everything [08:30] valoriez, do you know which icon in system settings? [08:31] hmmm, let me look [08:31] what i mean is i just want to minimize things and let them stay just below my monitor so that i wont have to use alt+tab keys everytime i switch to another window [08:31] Application Appearance will do the fonts in all your apps [08:31] oh ok thanks [08:32]
