Wolfcastlehello01:48
Wolfcastleany idea how I can change the agent id in rekonq?01:48
valoriezso it looks as if it's IE or something, you mean?01:50
Wolfcastlevaloriez: indeed01:51
Wolfcastlevaloriez: i was thinking firefox to see if ymail works01:51
jmichaelxspeaking of rekonq, does anyone have issues with not being able to see some of the menus? on this desktop with an nvidia GPU, it's just fine. on a laptop with on-board intel graphics, the menu does not appear (though an outline is faintly visible)01:52
Wolfcastlewhat menu would that be?  maybe I have the same problem...but hadn't noticed01:58
valoriezplasma has a bug01:59

Greenerykaffeine and dragon player crashed when playing wmv files although I have installed restricted format. Using Kubuntu 10.1003:10
valoriezGreenery: for the correct backend?03:13
valoriezphonon-xine and phone-gstreamer require different codec packages03:14
valoriezrestricted extras and -addons might both be required for wmv03:15

jmichaelxmatthewg42: i had that same issue when i upgraded to maverick. i was unable to get it fixed until i upgraded to KDE5.5.205:07
draikI upgraded my netbook to 10.10 and I don't have any tools displaying. If I terminate the netbook plasma, I can use apps via ALT+F2, but no border keys (minimize, maximize, close). How do I get it to use just the desktop plasma, not netbook?05:37
gkffcksHey all, I just upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, I've always been a fan of kde, but the whole 4 series has been so buggy, that I had no real choice but to switch to gnome :-( Anyway, I had heard good things about 4.5 so I installed it... long story short, I was configuring plasma, suddenly X died, I couldn't escape to any other tty so I had to hard reboot. Now even in a gnome session I can't get any kde apps to run. I really need05:39
gkffckskate it is my primary editor. Note when I try and run it from command line I get a cryptic "Bus Error" and it's done! note that It worked after the upgrade, the trouble started after I installed the smooth tasks plasmoid running which really caused all the issues...05:39
=== Dwonis is now known as dwon
gkffcksNote! I cannot run any applications based on kde! not even Konversation :-(05:42
olskolircwhat is the best torrent client for kubuntu05:43
olskolirca fast client05:43
olskolirclet me look draik05:44
gkffcksKtorrent is a pretty good one it's very similar to uTorrent on windows, only even more configurable!05:45
gkffcksidk how it benchmarks but it feels pretty fast all things being equal...05:45
olskolircdraik, go to systemsettings > default applications > Window Manager or where ever the default applications are on your version of systemsettings05:46
olskolircthanks gkffcks05:46
draikolskolirc: I don't have any menus05:47
gkffcksdraik: I've never used the netbook edition, but try hitting alt+f2 then typing systemsettings into the box and hitting enter...05:48
olskolirci have a good solution for both of you05:48
draikolskolirc: It took a while, but if finally responded.05:48
olskolircdraik, and gkffcks dump Maverick like the rest of us05:48
olskolircits JUNK05:48
olskolircim back on karmic05:48
draikgkffcks: Yeah, I did that earlier.05:48
draikHow do I go back?05:48
olskolircyou can't draik you have to reinstall05:49
draik:(05:49
draikOn the bright side, I separated /home on a different partition05:49
olskolirci have a habit of backing up my sources.list to an external just in case i can't boot my usb then id just uninstall the os and rename the backup sources.list.back to the earlier sources.list and go from there05:50
draikI also happen to have a desktop that was setup the same way.05:50
olskolircits a querky install with having to use dpkg-reconfigure -a05:51
draikI can copy the sources.list, too05:51
draikBut on top of that, I also backup my installed packages.05:51
draikThis way, I just go back to my sources.list and then do a re-install of all the packages I had.05:51
olskolirccook draik05:51
draikLong download times. but well worth the comfort of knowing you have it all back.05:51
dwondraik: etckeeper is handy, too05:55
gkffcksI once converted a system from debian etch to ubuntu 8.10, it was one of the more frightening things I've done, but the sources.list is a powerful thing!05:58
gkffcksso no real solutions to the kate bus error problem, I really can't down grade this system unfortunately!06:00
nobarkingi have a question, why do KDE users consider Kubuntu a lacking KDE SC based distro?06:03
nobarkingi've been using it for a while now, and can't find truth to it.06:03
nobarkingthe package management is great06:03
nobarkingout of box experience is awesome06:04
nobarkingwhat components is Kubuntu lacking that other distros do so well?06:04
nobarkinghas anyone heard any common complaints?06:04
olskolircnobarking, as much as i love kde and kubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 sux06:08
nobarkingolskolirc: what sucks about it?06:08
gkffcksTo be honest, I used kde 3.x for years, I also blead through kde 4.0, KDE 4.1, and KDE4.2, and 4.3 before I learned the hard way that kde has no hope :-(  What was it some nearly 20000 bug fixes, and it still crashes 10 minutes after I start using it? All I wish is that kate, the only true text editor wasn't part of that horible mess. Seriously, the first thing that needs to happen, is plasma needs to be fixed, by fixed I mean that no06:09
gkffcks one widget should be able to crash it... Second if dbus crashes which apparently what's happened to me NO Application that is built on kde can run???? Really who thought of that? REALLY? wow06:09
olskolircthere is no /media/cdrom and it points to /dev/sr0 with no entries in /etc/fstab or mtab it ships with pulse audio and the plasma desktop crashes constantly06:09
olskolircmany things lack with plasma desktop and configuration06:10
olskolirci long for kde 3x and i could quickly skin my own task bar too!06:10
olskolirci have to pick the best ugly graphic with this plasma06:10
olskolircand i don't have time to learn to program plasma and plasma is not worth that kind of time out of me06:10
olskolircgkffcks, on 10.10 you can't even restart the plasma desktop with plasma-desktop at the command line the dbus has errors and can't start so gone the plasma desktop06:12
olskolirci just made a bootable usb out of Debian Lenny so that I can have kde 3x06:13
olskolircim back on karmic for now06:13
gkffcksYes!!! I started it from CLI, using plasma-desktop and I tried logging out, and doing the old startkde trick, it just doesn't work...06:14
gkffcksIt gives me dbus errors, dolphin does the same thing.06:14
gkffckskate and konversation just give "Bus Error"06:14
gkffckswhich must have something to do with the dbus problem...06:15
gkffcksI'm gonna ask the #kde guys if they know anything more about dbus and restoring my ability to use Kate!06:16

nobarkinggkffcks: what's the latest KDE SC version you've tried?06:20
nobarkingolskolirc: if you upgraded you might want to clear the plasma configuration folder06:20
nobarkingi had a lot of plasma crashes after the upgrade because of this06:21
gkffcksI've used 4.4 for a few months last year, actually up until about June but it was so buggy... I got to a point where I just couldn't take it... and obviously I've tried 4.5, we all know how that went.. that's why I'm here haha!06:22
nobarkingI know earlier KDE SC 4 versions had a lot of issues, but right now i have my Kubuntu box updated to KDE SC 4,5.2 and it's working pretty solid for me06:22
gkffcksjune of this year*06:23
nobarkinggkffcks: so what distro do you use right now?06:23
gkffcksI've used every version of kde4.x except for 4.506:23
matthewg42jmichaelx: ok, thanks for the confirmation.06:24
gkffcksright now I'm just using gnome... but I would prefer using kde... I still use lots of kde apps, dolphin for one, is my default fm, and kate obviously!06:24
gkffcksoh, and Konversation! Def the best irc client...06:25
olskolircnobarking, i did a straight install and im back on karmic i didn't even go back to Lucid it wasn't impressive06:26
olskolircit'll be karmic or Debian for me from here on out and what is the name of the new version they are working on after Maverick nobarking do you know?06:26
nobarkingolskolirc: i don't think it's been announced yet06:28
gkffcksIt looks like natty narwhal according to google.. but that could easily be wrong!06:28
nobarkingolskolirc: oh no, it's natty narwhal06:28
nobarkinggkffcks: yeah you're right06:29
nobarkingolskolirc: gkffcks: have you guys seen KDE 3 Remix for Maverick?06:34
nobarkingit's KDE 3.5 with the latest upgrades for Maverick: http://kubuntuguide.org/Maverick#KDE_3_Remix06:34
olskolircis it plasma nobarking ?06:36
nobarkingplasma is only KDE 4?06:36
gkffcksNo, plasma is KDE4 and up06:37
gkffcksin kde3 they used konqueror as the desktop shell, and something called kicker as the panel06:37
tsimpson^kdesktop, not konqueror06:38
tsimpsonkonqueror was just the file manager/web browser thingey06:38
gkffcksyeah...06:40
olskolirci don't see any youtube about kde3 remix06:40
gkffckswas it actually a seperate kdesktop, I thought it was just an extension of the folder view in konqueror extended to the desktop?06:41
gkffcksI'm trying the remix repo, it seems to be down...06:42

palodequesoanyone having issues with nvidia drivers on 10.10? I have a 6600, as soon as I installed the drivers with the driver installer utility, and restarted, x will not start.07:10
palodequesoit claims, no screens found.07:13
nobarkingpalodequeso: does it at least load to the login screen?07:18
palodequesono07:18
palodequesonobarking: I did it with the additional drivers app07:19
palodequesothen when that failed I tried using nvidia-xconfig07:19
palodequesobut now I realize kubuntu doesn't use xorg.conf anymore07:19
palodequesoso I emptied that, and now it's at least working like it was on first boot, but still no nvidia drivers.07:19
palodequesoI just tried "activating" the nvidia driver again, and am rebooting the machine07:20
nobarkingpalodequeso: using the installer is the best way to go and try this thread too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139081307:21
palodequesonobarking: yep, back to now x07:21
palodequesonobarking: yea, the installer breaks x07:21

nobarkingpalodequeso: you can install the beta drivers07:42
nobarkingthe latest, directly from nvidia.com07:43
palodequesonobarking: I suppose it's worth a shot, but I wonder if they still use xorg, or if they're better off with ubuntu's new setup07:44

Kalidarnregarding some problems with the digital clock where would be the best place to talk about this what I think is a bug.08:18
Kalidarnthe first problem I've found sometimes when logging in (and using the Nimbus Sans L font) the clock looks like this http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/9288/borkedtextnimbussansl.png08:18
Kalidarnthe second problem I've found is that there's not enough room or rather border on the clock and some text gets cut off for example it looks fine when the widget is unlocked like this: http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9973/unlockedd.png but when it is locked it's very difficult to see the t http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/6040/cutoffclock.png08:18
Kalidarnthe third problem I've found and (I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 with KDE 4.5.1) sometimes when I login I see a strange square http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/1867/strangesquare.png I'm wonddering if anyone else sees this strange square, seems the only way to make it go away is to log out or disable and then re-enable compositing effects08:19

JobooGreetings! On Kubuntu 10.10 (64bit) Amarok will not play audio CDs. K3B will rip them and Dolphin will recognize but Amarok shows a collection of 0 tracks and won't play them even when loaded individually from Dolphin. I also tried loading into Dragon Player and although it spins the CD, nothing happens. This drive and CD worked on my Win7 partition.17:26
James147Joboo: have you installed "kubuntu-restricted-extras"?17:26
James147BenPA: it works here on a windows partition17:28
JobooJames147: I guess not. Installing now.17:28
James147BenPA: (exactly as I typed it)17:28
ByronJames147: All good now. Thank you.17:28
BenPAjames147: sorry I use a : instead of a ;17:29
BenPAjames147: ok ty however the less part is not working it is scrolling through the files but not stopping ... any ideas17:36
James147BenPA: wait for the command to finish, it might take a while (no useful output will be disaplayed untill its finished)17:37
JobooJames147: I installed kubuntu-restricted-extras from the software manager, rebooted, and still amarok is not recognizing the CD.17:38
BenPAjames147: oh ... ty didn't know that part LOL ... oh by the way did I tell you that Windows is a virus and someone should find a fix for it?17:39
James147Joboo: hmmm, wonder if amarok has cd support yet... not sure if it does, you could try asking on #amarok17:39
James147BenPA: unfortinatly due to the way sort works you cannot get anyuseful output from it until its finished17:40
JobooJames147: I guess I never considered that because it seemed obvious that it should have CD support. It is offered as the default CD player by KDE when a CD is inserted17:40
BenPAjames147: ok got ya ... thank you17:41
JobooJames147: I appreciate your time. Have a nice day.17:41

Jobootrichard: ok. my confusion is that in the VLC directions it says (for Ubuntu 10.10) install vlc, vlc-plugin-pulse  and mozilla-plugin-vlc.18:15
Jobootrichard: and then on the side it says "for kubuntu, Install vlc-plugin-arts instead of vlc-plugin-esd" but it never asked to install vlc-plugin-arts in the first place... ???18:15
trichardJoboo: Where did you find that information?18:16
Joboohttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html18:16
trichardJoboo: That's strange indeed. You will need vlc-plugin-pulse if you want it to work nicely with pulseaudio (which is the default now on kubuntu)18:18
trichardmozilla-plugin-vlc is no requirement, it will just make sure that vlc is used when you play a video on your browser18:19
trichardand i don't have vlc-plugin-artrs or vlc-plugin-esd, it works perfect18:20
Jobootrichard: yeah both those packages made sense, but i was still confused by the kubuntu specific directions. should i install vlc-plugin-arts even if it's not replacing vlc-plugin-esd?18:20
Jobootrichard: ok, i guess i'll give it a whirl18:20
trichardi think the kubuntu info is outdated, they suggest to use adept which doesn't exist anymore..18:21
Jobootrichard: that's good to know, as it's always confused me18:21
trichardJoboo: glad i could help ;)18:22
Jobootrichard: i guess i'm just still not confident in my package management skills and so anytime i see conflicting or confusing information i just stop18:23
trichardJoboo: Not a bad attitude. I usually do it the other way around, just install to check if it works. Ends up breaking my system sometimes ofcourse :)18:25

Jobootrichard: ok. thanks anyways.18:55
trichardJoboo: You could try to download the 32 bit version manually and put it in the ~/.mozilla/plugins folder18:55
edgytrichard: my understanding is if I enable local subscription and unsubcribed that folder then the folder is not synced to the server and I don't need that18:56

tonydark00#ubuntu-it18:56

trichardedgy: That would make sense indeed. I can't seem to find much about it on the web and at #kontact nobody is responding18:59
edgytrichard: I am still testing but now I see when I unsubscribed serverside from All Mail, it now shows in black but it's dowloading the messages19:03
edgyI am lost :(19:03
trichardedgy: I guess you need local subscription then19:03
trichard[20:01:58] <andris> trichard: afaik locally subscribed is specific for your local client, ie. if you have another client, say webmail, it is not affected by the local subscription setting. in case of server side subscription, all client get that list of folder only19:03
trichard(it's like you thought)19:03
