magdalenai just assume i have a wrong package00:00
James147magdalena: then do you mind explaining?00:00
magdalenaok. basically, i have this probl: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.bugs/38625600:00
magdalenaunlike all the other, who seemed to have this problem - my problem wasn't solved with upgrades00:01
magdalenaI tried the maverick betas and some where in this process this issue arrived00:01
magdalenaand never got away00:01
magdalenaalthough i upgraded from kde 4.5.0 to 4.5.100:02
magdalenaand i am on maverick final now00:02
magdalenai tried even sth like reinstalling all packages and removed all .deb files beforehand00:02
magdalenathat didn't work00:02
James147magdalena: so you want ppa did you instakll (and remove?)00:02
magdalenawell, i experiment a lot :) i quite often install a ppa, try something and purge this again00:03
magdalenanever had probls00:03
magdalenabut I now assume, that one of those ppas causes this behaviour00:03
magdalenathe only thing i can think about00:04
magdalenaif you have a better idea...00:04
James147magdalena: well, you can disable the extra ppas in kpackagekit (settings tab > edit origins   in maverick)00:04
James147magdalena: then I would reinstall "kubuntu-desktop" with "sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop"00:05
magdalenathe only extra ppa i currently use is ubuntu-x-swat00:05
magdalenai already tried such things00:06
magdalenabesides that --reinstall install kubuntu-desktop does not much00:06
magdalenasince kubuntu-desktop is just a meta package00:07
chemtailI'm on a newly upgraded 10.10 (from 10.04) and I notice that when pressing ie. the applauncher hotkey, it'll pop up, but it doesn't retract when I press again.00:15
chemtailIs this supposed to be a feature, or a bug?  Same goes for hotkeys I've set for the device notifier, battery monitor, etc.00:15

epoxyhello.. I just updated to 10.10 and now all the channels for my soundcard are gone. I can't listen to the headphone jack without sound coming out the speakers too01:42
epoxy*channels for kmixer01:43
epoxy... I have the master though.01:43
* epoxy uses alsamixer in the meantime01:44
moetunesthere's been a few ppl with kmix issues in 10.1001:50
chemtailI do believe this is related to the fact that 10.10 switched to pulse-audio ?01:51
thomas_hello01:59
jdmcclungIn the Plasma Netbook version there is bar just under the top panel that you can add programs. I use a lot of the chrome application shortcuts, but can not seem to add them to this area. Is there anyway to do this?02:00
thomas_has anyone had any problems with 10.10 on the cron.daily constantly running?02:01
chemtailIn 10.10, and 10.04 for that matter, setting a global hotkey to launch an application simply doesn't work.  I've tried searching around, but there are a fair few hits on hotkey-related stuff going around, hard to sift.  Can anyone shorten my search?02:36
jschalli'm running kubuntu 10.10 on my netbook, and when i close an application, nothing gets focused. I'm assuming the last-used window should get focused immediately when the focused window is closed?02:44

valorieUnco: there wasn't room on the LiveCD04:18
valorieso you'll have to install them separately04:18
valorieif you did a clean install04:19
jschallvalorie: any luck on the splash?04:19
valorieyes, read up a bit04:19
jschallvalorie: and can you get to pmtech.com?04:19
jschallvalorie: because i think my router might be messed up04:19
valorieyes, that loads04:20

jschallvalorie: i don't mean the kde splash, it's the kubuntu boot splash04:24
jschallvalorie: is that in here?04:24
valorieright, there are two04:24
valoriethe kubuntu one is prettier, IMO04:24

jschallvalorie: ugly, eh?04:26
valoriethat's broken, all right04:26
jschallvalorie: is there a way to reinstall it?04:27
valoriewhat do you have there?04:27
valoriedid you upgrade recently?04:27
jschallvalorie: this is an install from an ubuntu disc that i installed kubuntu-desktop on, splash worked then, then i'm not sure what broke it04:27
jschallvalorie: i've used the kubuntu-ppa to install 4.5.2, but that didn't break any splash on my other machines04:28
jschallvalorie: i just want the package name for the splash, really.04:28
jschallvalorie: does ubuntu still use usplash? or what?04:29
valorieno idea about ubuntu04:29
jschallvalorie: kubuntu04:29

OmnipotentEntityDoes anyone know of a good way to fix an issue where when I'm logged in for a long amount of time my down scroll wheel refuses to scroll applications down without clicking it a bazillion times?05:04
OmnipotentEntityI can't even think of what I can google...05:05
OmnipotentEntityIt seems to be independent of my XSession, because I started a gnome session and it's still not working...05:25
OmnipotentEntityI also tried unplugging it and plugging it back in05:25
valorieOmnipotentEntity: it sounds more like your mouse is no longer being listened to05:30
OmnipotentEntityvalorie, what's the best way to fix that?05:32
valoriesorry, i don't have a clue05:32
OmnipotentEntityWhen I cat /dev/input/mouse1 and scroll the wheel up and down it exhibits the same behavior.  When I rmmod usbhid && modprobe usbhid it doesn't fix it. :(05:38
OmnipotentEntitymight be hardware?05:39
valoriedo you have another mouse you could try?05:40
OmnipotentEntitynay05:42
jschallvalorie: did you leave ping jon.pmtech.com running?05:44

bigbrovaris anyone having issues with strigi on Kubuntu 10.10? it seems to just working for no reason06:01
bigbrovaruse to have that issue on lucid with kde 4.5 where strigi would work for a while then just stopped working and that would be the case for a long while then it would start working.. but this is the first time I am experiencing same issue on 10.10 and am not alone the guy on identica has the same issue https://identi.ca/notice/5702248606:03
valoriejschall: heh06:05
valorieit did finally start pinging, yes06:05
valoriesorry about that06:05
jschallvalorie: you're getting replies06:05
jschallvalorie: i know it did06:05
valoriewell, I closed the bash window06:05
jschallvalorie: i was just asking because i could see the requests coming in but not going out06:05
jschallvalorie: i'm trying to fix it properly06:06
jschallvalorie: basically i have two interfaces06:06
jschallvalorie: two subnets06:06
jschallvalorie: two gateways06:06
valoriewell, I'm no longer pinging06:06
jschallvalorie: and i think the way it was set up before, the pings were trying to go out the default gateway which was the gateway for the other interface06:06
jschallvalorie: i can see that =P06:07
jschallvalorie: so now i'm trying to follow this guide: http://kindlund.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/configuring-multiple-default-routes-in-linux/06:07
valoriebigbrovar: it used to stop all the time for me too06:08
valorieso I just turned it off06:09
bigbrovarvalorie: yeah I wish I could do that. but turning it off makes it almost impossible to search.06:09
valorieupdatedb and locate?06:10
valorieI don't tag stuff anyway06:10
valorieexcept music06:10
valorieand Amarok finds that beautifully06:10
bigbrovarwhen it works it works so beautifully. it seems to be reaching some type of limit or code expairation .. it would be nice if we can track what the issue is06:10
valorieindeed06:11
bigbrovarI can always use locate on the server but IMHO its not meant for the desktop like I said strigi use to work very well when it decide to work.  when*06:11
valoriethere is #strigi06:12
bigbrovarI don't know though if this is just a kubuntu bug or a general kde 4.5 bug06:12
valorieI guess you could search both bug databases06:12
valorielp and bko06:12
bigbrovarcool let me head over there. I hope I don't get flamed for using kubuntu cus that is the usual response I get with upstream06:13
bigbrovarsure good idea06:13

It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot10:34

BluesKajhaving probs on my desktop with reinstalling 10.10 , the kernel 2.6.35-24-generic is trying to load but the kerenel in this pc is  2.6.35-22-generic ... the desktop hangs at grub.cfg because it seems to me it's looking for the wrong kernel ...very strange15:01
amichairhmmm... I just finished an upgrade and after reboot I'm getting a grub prompt, and I'm stuck here.15:02
BluesKajI'm presently using our media server pc15:02
BluesKajyup, that's probly it ...been looking for the bug fix on launchpad ...lots of reports but no fixes so far15:03
BluesKajis the pc you're stuck on an older model like mine 4-5 yrs old ?15:04
amichairnope, a netbook, a couple years old. with wubi. I'm reading through bug reports as well, but no luck so far15:05
BluesKajamichair, which repos are you using? USA, main or ?15:08
amichairI don't remember :-/15:09
amichairwhy?15:09
BluesKajlook in your sources.list or package manager ...I'm using the Canadian sources , but thinking of trying a different one , then changing time and location later15:10
amichairBluesKaj: how do I do that without booting? Or how do I boot manually?15:10
BluesKajamichair, oh sorry , I thought you were logged on15:13
amichairnope, still at the grub prompt15:13
amichairI'll run chkdsk just in case15:13

wilharthwy!? ubuntu is crap if u cant have effects on and playging videos20:26
Patrick_wslxwell windows shuts off aero when you launch games20:27
Patrick_wslxi think there should be a way for desktop effects to automatically know when a 3d app is launched to shut down effects in the same mannor20:28
Patrick_wslxso really its not that bad20:28
Patrick_wslxwhat games are you trying to run?20:28
wilhartPatrick_wslx: just for playbacking movies20:29

13WAALREDhm but "maverick/main" sounds a bit strange to me20:38
