[00:07] James147: thanks it's upgrading [00:07] i need to go bye [00:33] Hi. How do I combine multiple RAR files (.r00, .r01, .r02 ... etc) into a single ISO image? [00:33] kkerwin: extract the .rar file... it should know what to do with it :) [00:34] James147: Using ark? [00:34] kkerwin: yup [00:34] James147: Thanks. [00:35] James147: All I have is the .r## files, not the .rar index. [00:36] kkerwin: then try the .r00 file [00:36] James147: Cool. [00:37] James147: Ok. That **is** slick. === mueslix is now known as muesli === bill is now known as pegasusbil === muzer is now known as MuzerAway [01:20] hello, I have a problem with compositing on Kubuntu 10.10 [01:21] I am using nvidia geforce GT 320M [01:22] Driver version 260.19.06 (for some reason I see a splash screen that says Nvidia Beta Drivers when i restart my laptop) [01:22] I cannot enable/disable desktop effects, and when i mouseover the window manipulation buttons they start "flickering" between the actual button and my desktop [01:52] hmmm [02:12] hi all === Guest77529 is now known as Kubuntu-KDE [02:13] i have a problem with kubuntu 10.10 [02:14] no one can help me? [02:14] sounds good! [02:16] Kubuntu-KDE: you need to say what your problem is [02:18] Has anyone been able to get Ubuntu One working on 10.10? [02:20] decusgeek: I found there was a beta for the ubuntuone kde client available from a ppa if your interested in that - I don't know any other way [02:21] If you wouldn't mind. ubuntuone loads from the repository, but can't be configured. [02:23] i`ve installed two languages, when i was in ubuntu, i add notification area widget and press Ctrl+Shift to change my typing language; but in kubuntu, i can`t change my typing language, how ever i change shortcut to Ctrl+L, but again i can`t type with my another language! [02:25] no one can help me in this issue? [02:25] decusgeek: http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubuntu-one-in-kubuntu-1010.html [02:26] Kubuntu-KDE: I only use the one language here - if noone else knows now ask again in a bit :] [02:27] moetunes: Looks like a good starting point. Many thanks. [02:27] np :] [02:28] is kubuntu/KDE snappier on an older laptop than ubuntu, whats your experience? if i would strip down all animations and stuff? [02:29] nbnds: kde is a bit more hungry for resources then other desktops - maybe look at flubox or lxde [02:29] !lubuntu [02:29] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [02:31] and using fluxbox i can use the same software as i can i kubuntu? [02:35] yep sure [02:59] Im sure i remeber in Konqueror being able to right-click, select properties of an MP3 file and being able to see its ID3 tags. However its not there anymore. Do i need a plugin for konqueror to see the ID3 tags now? [02:59] on 10.04 [03:02] ussher_: you could try in konsole apt-cache search konqueror | grep plugin to see what's available [03:03] moetunes: cheers. so you think konqueror now does require a plugin to see the id3 tag then. [03:04] ussher_: I would have no idea - I haven't used it for ages [03:05] yeah, me neither. Im wondering if the functionality got lost going from KDE3 to KDE4. or maybe i installed a plugin that i cant remmber now. [03:05] Thanks for your help. [03:05] there is a plugin "Music Man" but it was made in 2003 so im going to keep looking around === cesar_ is now known as Guest34861 [05:56] hi, i have a problem with setting resolution each time kubuntu restarts [05:56] what should i do? [05:59] What is your video card model? [06:02] it is Intel 82945G/GZ [06:06] OK. There are two options. You can use KRandR, which will reset your resolution after you log in, or you can create an xorg.conf file and specify the resolution there. [06:07] okay let me see what happens. thnka for response e_t_ [06:22] hello [06:22] can anybody here help me eith smtp [06:29] hello guys.....i nid your help here.... [06:29] i badly need your help guys especially those ubuntu experts [06:29] Ubuntu-LinuX: ask your question [06:32] ok [06:32] can you teach me the step on how to dual boot ubuntu and xp? [06:33] i have windows xp on my main hard disk and i want to install ubuntu on the other separate disk [06:40] Ubuntu-LinuX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [06:41] however, you are more likely to find the help you want in #ubuntu [06:41] this channel is specifically for Kubuntu, which is KDE on ubuntu [06:46] haaaaaaaalp [06:46] ive followed forum posts on ubuntu and cannot get it to work [06:47] im trying to install kubuntu 6.06 on my imac g3 [06:48] 6.06? [06:48] matt__: any reason why you're not using 10.10 ? [06:48] current is 10.10! [06:48] i figured it wouldnt run on such an old computer [06:48] that's not even supported anymore, is it? [06:49] does it run from the liveCD? [06:49] that's the way to check it [06:49] matt__: run the 10.10 liveCD and see if it works... [06:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405934 [06:50] okay, ill download one [06:50] that thread lead me to where i am [06:50] it showed a process of editting the xorg.conf file... it seemed to work for others in the thread [06:50] just not for me [06:51] matt, there is a version of 10.10 for Macs, I think [06:52] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/ports/releases/10.10/release/ this is the list of ports [06:52] Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) alternate install CD [06:52] For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines. [06:52] any idea if i should do desktop or the alternate install [06:53] the desktop install also mentions that its for G3, etc [06:53] are you trying to save anything on that hard drive? [06:53] if not, the liveCD is pretty simple [06:53] nope [06:53] it's a bigger download [06:54] but there isn't much load on the servers now [06:54] it's been out over a week [06:55] so if i try the live cd and it does not work (crashes), that means it wont work on my system and i should try an older/different distro? [06:56] it probably wouldn't crash [06:56] just wouldn't run [06:57] there is a #kde-mac channel on freenode [06:57] the way the computer handles is now is just giving me a blank screen, the i pull up the command prompt and follow the instructions given in the forum thread, all goes to plan until i get to a loading screen that never loads [06:57] which might be able to guide you better if the liveCD doesn't run [06:58] :( [06:58] 6.06 is older than I've ever run, I think [06:59] ill see if they can help, thank you for your time [06:59] best of luck [07:20] http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2010/10/13/kubuntu-10-10/ <=== good review [07:23] my apologies, 6.06 still is support [07:23] supported [07:25] anybody know a supported program to put mp3's onto ipod [07:25] which ipod [07:25] i use gtkpod but it has some difficulties [07:25] ipod nano [07:26] rhythmbox seems not to work, at least here === codolio is now known as dolio [07:26] yeah i also couldnt get rythmbox to work [07:26] should one just try to install itunes with wine ??

[07:37] I have some problems with the desktoeffects [07:39] If I move my mouse to the upper left I get the windowpreviews, but only for a second, then they disappear [07:39] I only see the windowtitles and icons then [07:40] also it doesn't display the window preview if I move my mouse over the taskbar [07:45] also have some problems with interface too [07:47] this all worked like a breeze qith 10.04 [07:48] I wonder what's to blame. INTEl drivers oder KDE... [07:50] wich icq client is better for kde? [07:50] I use iRSSI ;) [07:51] Hm, how do I configure my Dualhead permamently? [07:51] seems it forgets it after I log off === ping__luce is now known as faLUCE === root is now known as Guest82375 [08:02] hello [08:21] Hello. Just upgraded to 10.10, but sound stopped working. Anyone know why? [08:22] can you open up Kmix and see if anything is muted? [08:24] also, open system settings->multimedia, and see which device is the preferred one. [08:25] right, that was going to be my next suggestion [08:26] also to ask exactly what you mean -- no system sounds? no sound in an app? no sound in flash? [08:26] etc. [08:30] valorie, oh, that fixed it :-) [08:31] what did? [08:31] Kmix? [08:31] sound works now. but kmix only shows one volume control. [08:31] yes, kmix [08:31] hmmm [08:31] but it doesn't matter that much right now. just strange. [08:31] you might need to install pavucontrol [08:32] and go through all your devices [08:32] no kde tool for that? [08:33] well, if you do it once [08:33] you shouldn't have to do it again [08:33] kmix should show everything [08:33] oh ok. [08:33] I think for most it does [08:34] didn't for me either, though [08:34] now they are all there [08:34] I think we are lacking a bit of PA that hasn't been updated and released yet [09:27] how do we get into Ubuntu/Kubuntu development, we would like to add geolocation to the timezone screen for the installation [09:27] so we need to modify the 'setup', were do we start? [09:28] this here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization says that its 'The process of customizing or "remastering" Ubuntu installation CDs is not especially complex, but it is a little tedious and finicky.' [09:29] but we need to create a production stable image after modification, NEED HELP [09:30] mvk: please ask in #kubuntu-devel, and be patient [09:30] no need to shout [09:30] thx, i am patient [09:32] that does look both tedious and finicky! [09:48] Can someone tell me what does it mean when sudo lshw says that my audiocard is UNCLAIMED? My card is currently mutedeadmurderdeathkill when last night everything was fine and dandy ... [09:49] loadus, I don't know, but -- have you installed updates recently? [09:49] what version of Kub. are you running? [09:50] I had a huge battle with pulseaudio couple of days ago, which ended with removing it and using ALSA instead - it worked 100%. I had to do this because of some WINE programs. [09:50] I'm using 10.10 atm [09:50] I think this is a driver/module issue [09:50] hmmm [09:50] not sure though, but ALSA can't find the card anymore - just came back from win7 and the card works ok. [09:51] 10.10 is designed to work with PA [09:51] I know, but I can't use pulseaudio [09:51] you've tried alsamixer from the cli? [09:51] I loose all the mixer options and audiocontrol [09:51] yes, alsamixer says no cards [09:51] woah [09:51] and this worked last night lol [09:52] did you by any chance change backends? [09:52] and does your test phonon button give you sound? [09:52] no, I don't think that anything was installed between restarts [09:52] the test button gives a nag from ALSA saying that it doesn't work [09:52] you can check in systemsettings [09:52] ugh [09:53] you might try installing gstreamer rather than xine [09:53] this would be easier if I understood the driver framework of linux [09:53] and see how that works for you [09:53] gstreamer? [09:53] ok, I'll try that [09:53] there are two right now: phonon-xine, and phonon-gstreamer [09:54] gstreamer was very buggy for awhile, but has recently been cleaned up lots [09:54] I'm more worried about that label UNCLAIMED in the hardware list [09:54] there is work on phonon-vlc also, but it hasn't been released yet [09:54] to me, it says "no driver installed" [09:54] could very well be [09:55] sound in linux.... [09:55] bleah [09:55] if I'm not completely wrong, some module has gone fubar [09:55] aye [09:55] why exactly is phonon having anything to do with xine, as opposed to poking at alsa directly? [09:55] googling has always brought me through [09:56] I'd rather be poking my card .. to see if there's some module conflict/error [09:56] volodya: everything is in layers and layers these days [09:56] but I don't know how [09:57] and, in fact, does not phonon talk to pulseaudio now? It would be very strange if there's 'xine' level in between [09:58] volodya: there is [09:59] however, Loadus has uninstalled PA [09:59] which is yet another wrinkle [09:59] phonon uses xine, gst or vlc as a backend [09:59] even mplayer [10:00] I fixed it. [10:00] sudo modprobe snd-ice1724 [10:00] \o/ [10:00] cool, that turned it back on? [10:01] soundcard's relay just clicked and phonon reported that switching to the card [10:01] NICE [10:01] modprobe command turned it back on [10:01] * Felix[tm] still tries to figure out what aprtly breaks the desktop effects... [10:01] I just blindly used that, since I know the module name [10:01] desperate measures [10:01] heh [10:02] I remembered that command from tweaking the firewire port [10:02] still not sure what it does [10:02] lol [10:02] it loads the driver for your soundcard? [10:02] tickles the innards [10:02] :-) [10:03] add the modules to load it at startup [10:03] somewhere unter /etc/modprobe or so, don't remeber the exact location [10:03] I'd like to know what killed the module in the first place [10:04] 0~1~3~no idea... [10:04] yea [10:05] linux needs a unified sound architecture .. no more layers and new backends [10:05] : / [10:05] yep... another nail in the coffin... [10:07] well anyhoo, thanks for your time, got to remember that modprobe thingy [10:07] isn't PA supposed to be that unified sound arch.? [10:07] like others where suppoosed before... [10:08] right [10:08] I had the feeling that pulseaudio is just an alternative for ALSA [10:08] unfortunately, there is about a bazillion cards and etc to work with [10:08] yep [10:08] when looking at the schematic at wikipedia I get chills .. it's complicationmaximusmayhem [10:09] exactly [10:09] and all previous attempts have gotten as far as they did [10:09] and then exhaustion and perhaps madness for the developers [10:09] poor things! [10:10] awany of you guys uses a INTEL onboard Graphic card? [10:10] I can't figure out where my problem is [10:10] euther Plasma's gone AWOL or the INTEL driver [10:11] I used intel integrated on a previous rendernode I had [10:11] but that was hmmm .. 9.04 [10:11] I had no problems with 9.x and 10.04.... [10:12] it's really strange, all effects are there, but on some of them the window previews are missing [10:12] they work fpr alt+tab [10:13] I've had some window render issues here too [10:13] but not for hovering the mouse over the taskbar (gre rectangles) or moving the mouse tu the upper left corner (peviews appear for a second and disappear) [10:13] especially with the new kpackagekit thingy [10:13] the windows on the Desktop render fine === joro is now known as Guest62523 [10:14] well it could be videomemory issue [10:14] had some small issues with firefoy an longa pages where srolling only partially refreshed the Window [10:14] the card is just not providing the preview information [10:14] but I believe activating vsync fixed it [10:14] Loadus: Hm, any idea how to fix? ;) [10:15] no idea [10:15] kpackagekit -- what does that have to do with rendering? [10:15] is anyone else having issues with bluedevil on 10.10? [10:16] the text on the description doesn't render on my installation [10:16] I cant get it to pair with my N900 and also sending files to the device fails [10:16] I tried to use another device but all it shows is the mac address and not the name of the bluetooth device [10:17] funny thing is it worked fine when I was on lucid. [10:17] seems many things worked fine on Lucid... I can feel your pain... [10:18] didn't try BT yet [10:18] is anyone else having this issue? I want to know if to file a bug or whether to file a bug on the issue [10:19] file a bug and see what the devs say [10:24] Loadus: thanks .. can anyone tell me that tool which assist in filing bugs on UBuntu.. ubuntu-bug?

[15:16] Is there any repo that I can add (with fresh software) [15:17] How do I get kde 4.5.2 onto kubuntu 10.04? [15:17] Is there a PPA providing it? kubuntu-ppa/backports doesnt, figured that out already. [15:27] devurandom: ppa:kubuntu-ppa [15:27] Without /backports? [15:29] nobarking: It does not seem to include any 4.5.2 updates for Lucid. Only one kde-l10n-4.4.5 (from 4.4.2) update. [15:30] There are no packages planned for Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, we recommend updating to 10.10 if you want to try the newest software, either upgrade to the release candidate or wait for the final release on Sunday. [15:30] --from kubuntu.org [15:30] Yes, s.a., I read that already. [15:30] so i guess you will have to upgrade or search through the PPAs see if someone will package it [15:30] But I dont want to move away from Lucid, and kde 4.5.1 is buggy... [15:30] i'm pretty sure someone will [15:31] Hm, is there a search for packages in ppas? I already know packages.ubuntu.com, but it probably doesnt cover ppas. [15:32] I have kubuntu installed with Ubuntu and when I logged into Kubuntu, it said I had an error with the menu applet.

Version 1.0.5-0ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 180 kB, installed size 852 kB [22:49] pegasusbil: ^^^ [22:58] hello, someone with kubuntu 10.10 and videocard GF8600gt [22:58] because i had really slow kde, and don`t know is it normal or not? [23:02] e01: what driver? [23:02] nvidia-current [23:08] anyone notice in kpackagekit (10.10 version) that the status icons (such and the refreshing packages icon) dont clear themselves thus you can see residue of the last frame? [23:08] dasKreech: what driver u use? [23:09] I have AMD 4600 so I suppose it doesn't matter. I was just trying to get you to give some more info in case it helps someone [23:09] holas [23:09] hi djtoto [23:11] why isn't the bottom bar clickable for me? [23:11] una pregunta tengo un iphone con ios 4 con terminal console pero como insstalo e provado con sudo con apt-get y no van los comandos [23:12] pr0xy by the "bottom bar" you mean the taskbar? [23:12] please spanihs [23:12] yeah. [23:12] espanol? [23:12] ok [23:12] !es [23:12] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:13] dasKreech: i am with 1.6ghz cpu and 1.5gb ram, and gf8600gt [23:13] pr0xy I only speak English sorry. I can use google transate if you want. PM me [23:13] grace [23:13] gracias [23:13] dasKreech: i installed drivers that are recommended, most of windows move smoothly but when i try to resize some, it is drawn in slices [23:14] nerdy_kid, I speak English too. I was trying to be of some assistance to djtoto [23:14] nerdy_kid, Now I only have a CLI [23:14] pr0xy oh sorry didn't see that [23:14] how kubuntu desktop is different from gnome/ [23:14] it's cool [23:14] galoisfield !KDE [23:15] pr0xy you have a CLI, do you know if X11 is running? [23:15] nerdy_kid, no idea. [23:15] pr0xy can you see your mouse? [23:16] pr0xy: ya i have heard that but never used a kde one before..can u specify in what aspects kde and gnome are different [23:16] yes, it's on my mousepad, just under my right hand. except when i'm typing. [23:16] KDE is more prettiful, galoisfield. [23:18] pr0xy your mouse _pointer_. You said that you have only a command line. So I have to ask a few questions before I can help you ;) [23:18] nerdy_kid, I was kidding. How do I restart from the command line. [23:18] pr0xy: prettiful?? will try it then.. [23:19] pr0xy sudo reboot will restart from the commandline [23:19] galoisfield, Prettiful is a technical term. [23:19] ok. just did that. [23:19] e01: you can ask in #kwin if you like [23:19] pr0xy ok just one thing: do you know what graphics card you have? [23:20] I have a GT240 from EVGA. it's nvidia [23:20] galoisfield: KDE has a mind set of tight integration between applications and allowing the user to make knowledgeable choices for how the applications and desktop should work. [23:21] pr0xy: sudo shutdown -r will also work.. :) [23:21] galoisfield eh, sudo reboot is less typing :D [23:21] I already restarted. [23:21] galoisfield: GNOME has a mind set of smaller apps targeted at use cases and very good choices by the development community so that by default the user should not need to make any changes to have a useful workspace [23:22] pr0xy ok good. Log in (obviously) and tell me any wierd behavior that happens/ [23:22] ok. 1 sec [23:23] okay, the taskbar is flashing at the right side [23:24] alright, so first thing is kill compositing: press ctrl+alt+F12 [23:24] nothing on the desktop is responding. [23:24] alright second though [23:24] dasKreech: u have described nicely..now i will surely try KDE :) [23:24] pr0xy open up konsole and run "killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop" [23:24] pr0xy without quotes [23:25] galoisfield: I encourage everone to try both. Part of the good of FOSS is you can have software that works right for you [23:25] ok, now I have a black screen with a gray underscore in the upper left. I don't see how to open konsole. [23:25] you may find that you like the applications from KDE for example but the GNOME Desktop so you can now run what's good for you :) [23:25] WTF? I just restarted. [23:26] pr0xy no you didnt just wait [23:26] pr0xy: that's not good did you just install Video card drivers [23:26] I did, just today. [23:26] pr0xy sorry forgot to warn you, the screen will go black for a sec [23:26] okay, how long? [23:27] pr0xy should be no longer then 20 seconds. It takes about 7 seconds on my machine [23:27] pr0xy its restarting you desktop [23:27] you should still be able to see the terminal [23:29] ok, wow. It's still black. I have 1 gig ram. [23:29] would that matter? [23:29] pr0xy can you see the terminal? [23:29] nope. never started it. [23:30] nothing on the desktop was responding, then i did the ctrl+alt+f12 [23:30] pr0xy you didn't? ok then that is not normal. I thought you ran the command I gave you. Did you get the video drivers from NVIDIA's site? [23:30] also try hitting alt+F2 [23:30] a little box _should_ pop up. [23:31] no. I got them in the driver thing on an older kernel. [23:31] ok, and everything was working until the new kernel? [23:31] wtf? pr0xy-desktop login: and a blinky underscore [23:31] yeah just login [23:32] uh-huh. stuff worked ok. then the new kernel came with maverick. [23:32] ah, did you do an upgrade from lucid? [23:33] yeah. maverick install disks just screw up the drive. Then nothing boots up at all. don't even get grub. [23:33] what do I put in the command line now? [23:34] what do I put in the command line now? [23:34] should I start KDE [23:34] ok well you can try two things: you can reboot the pc and try to boot from your old kernel and fix the mess that way. Or we can disable the NVIDIA driver and then try to fix the mess. [23:34] so you pick what you want to do. [23:35] the old kernel might be easier, but then it might not work either. Disabling the driver will be a little harder (not much) but we have to do that anyway. [23:36] well, when I didn't use the driver, it didn't do anything. just rainbow rectangles. [23:36] I did a clean install with maverick and it was fine until I did kernrl update, then super slomo [23:37] so wait, is this an upgraded lucid or a clean installed maverick? [23:37] upgraded lucid 64 bit. [23:38] ok. So lets try the old kernel then. do sudo reboot again, and _before_ you see the kubuntu logo press and hold shift. a menu should pop up. [23:38] should I stop at grub? [23:38] yeah [23:38] ok. [23:38] we need the grub menu [23:40] ok. at GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 [23:40] whatever that means... [23:40] now what? [23:41] yeah ignore that. Ok now assuming your last kernel worked (which you said it did), go to the previous kernel. NOT the "recovery" one, the one before that [23:41] so you should have to press the down arrow a total of two times :) [23:41] and then hit enter [23:41] I'm not four. [23:41] sorry I was joking in the last line [23:42] i'm four and a half. [23:42] lol [23:42] I kid, I kid. [23:42] crap. CLI again. [23:42] not even a flicker? you sure the system booted all the way? [23:42] should get at least a flicker [23:43] but if it gives you the login prompt at the CLI then it is still busted [23:44] nope, login prompt at CLI [23:44] with the old kernel. [23:45] ah crap. Well login, and lets check some logs [23:45] sorry if it takes a while between saying stuff, I'm eating a sammich in the kitchen. [23:45] enter less -n 50 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:45] eh, no prob :) [23:46] that should spit out exactly 50 lines of the ending of a very important log... [23:46] so what do I type in exactly? [23:46] less -n 50 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:47] you can use tab to auto complete the filenames so you dont have to type the whole thing [23:48] 50:No such file or directory === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [23:49] "50:No such file or directory" [23:49] you didnt type it right, it is less SPACE -n SPACE 50 SPACE /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:49] "/var/log/Xorg.0.log (press RETURN)" [23:50] oooh. lots of crap I don't understand. [23:50] eh, you are looking for a line like "x server aborted" should be at the very end [23:51] actually i am probably over complicating stuff. [23:51] run sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current [23:51] that will remove the nvidia driver. [23:51] unfortunatly I have to go, i will be back in about 40 mins, really sorry [23:52] don't see an "x server aborted" [23:52] yeah just run the other command i gave you [23:52] who can help me? [23:52] i will be back in like 40 mins [23:52] sorryu [23:52] how do I leave the CLI thingy with xorg? [23:53] oh sorry press q [23:53] ok. [23:53] bye [23:53] bai [23:53] I got this error in sudo apt-get install qtparted http://paste.ubuntu.com/516512/ [23:54] is your dpkg old? [23:56] lordganesh? [23:56] pr0xy: no I m using kubuntu 10.04 [23:57] ok. update to 10.04.1? [23:58] pr0xy: Actually I don't want to update.Is there no other way to resolve the problem [23:58] I think it's that dpkg is out of date.
