| dfaure | still no go, grub2 doesn't work. I just get a blinking cursor on a black screen. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| dfaure | tried pressing shift to get a menu (according to some wiki), nothing | 00:00 |
| dfaure | nowhere in the grub2 page does it mention the case where nothing happens at all :( | 00:07 |
| James147 | dfaure: that shounds like the bios is trying a boot a disk without a boot loader | 00:08 |
| James147 | dfaure: do you ahve more then one hdd? | 00:09 |
| dfaure | indeed there are two | 00:09 |
| James147 | dfaure: then either install grub to the other disk, or change the boot order in the bios | 00:09 |
| * James147 prefures to change the boot order and insall grub the the disk with the os on... | 00:09 | |
| dfaure | yeah, especially since the small secondary disk (sdb) is planned to go away once this works ;) | 00:10 |
| dfaure | alas, the boot order seems fine (CD, floppy, big disk) | 00:12 |
| James147 | dfaure: then are you sure you installed grub to the right disk? (to the actual disk not a parition ie /dev/sda not /dev/sda1) | 00:13 |
| * James147 wonders why floppy is before the hdd.... dose anyone use them any more? | 00:14 | |
| dfaure | yeah, I used grub-install /dev/sda -- and anyway the kubuntu 10.04 installation has probably done that too... | 00:14 |
| James147 | dfaure: /dev/sda is the larger hdd? | 00:15 |
| dfaure | yep | 00:15 |
| dfaure | I don't need to mark partitions as bootable, right? | 00:15 |
| James147 | dfaure: is it not? | 00:16 |
| dfaure | no, the installer created the partitions (into the unallocated space, as requested), but didn't mark the "/" partition as bootable. I assume this doesn't matter though, with grub on /dev/sda. | 00:17 |
| dfaure | hmm there was no /boot/grub/device.map, I had to run grub-mkdevicemap to generate it... | 00:25 |
| dfaure | and still update-grub says "cannot find list of partitions" | 00:25 |

| muesli | whenever i try to start qtcreator via the launcher (alt+f2) it tries to start an old version from my home dir which i deleted long ago | 01:11 |
| muesli | where does it store / get that information from and why doesn't it update itself? | 01:11 |
| dfaure | muesli: there might be a .desktop file left in ~/.local/share/applications | 01:15 |
| muesli | dfaure: indeed, thanks :) | 01:16 |
| muesli | dfaure: you know, the launcher (applications plugin) could stat() the binary to see if it's even worth displaying the entry | 01:17 |
| dfaure | usually desktop files have Exec=foo, not Exec=/full/path/to/foo | 01:17 |
| muesli | dfaure: but i guess i should point that in aaron's directions | 01:17 |
| muesli | even without an absolute path we could check for a valid binary in the path | 01:18 |
| dfaure | and then if you have a /usr/bin/qtcreator your local qtcreator.desktop file would hide the global one and nothing would have been shown == worse | 01:18 |
| muesli | even tho it's unlikely that it'd fail in this case | 01:18 |
| muesli | it's clearly because i manually installed qtcreator at some point | 01:18 |
| dfaure | and extracting the binary name from the Exec line isn't even 100% safe, there could be a whole shell command in there. | 01:18 |
| muesli | dfaure: no, because then the local one would either be path-less (exec=qtcreator, works) | 01:19 |
| muesli | or it would be with the /home path and therefore invalid, never hiding the global one | 01:19 |
| dfaure | wrong. The way desktop files work, is that local hides global, no matter what. | 01:19 |
| muesli | dfaure: ah, i guess that's only for desktop files with the same name then | 01:20 |
| dfaure | sure | 01:20 |
| muesli | ok, didn't hide my global qtcreator then since it was a different .desktop filename | 01:20 |
| dfaure | ok | 01:21 |
| muesli | still argueable, if it makes sense that a invalid local desktop file would overrule a global one | 01:22 |
| muesli | but i guess it's not worth the effort arguing ;-) | 01:22 |
| dfaure | definitely not. It's standard, and has been the case since kde1, and it's really a feature, in the big picture. | 01:23 |
| dfaure | (and the file is not invalid) | 01:24 |
| muesli | dfaure: just curious now. why would you show a "dead" .desktop link to the user? | 01:25 |
| dfaure | we don't know it's dead. It looks perfectly valid. | 01:25 |
| muesli | dfaure: well, that's what i'm saying: we should check if it's dead to see if it's really valid. not just guess it | 01:26 |
| dfaure | if we take the time in kbuildsycoca to look around for executables (!), and store in ksycoca "this desktop file is invalid" then when you (re) install the binary, it will still be marked as invalid.... | 01:26 |
| dfaure | this is just not practical | 01:26 |
| muesli | hm, i wasn't even planning to store that info | 01:27 |
| muesli | the launcher should just check for it | 01:27 |
| dfaure | won't make it any faster ;) | 01:27 |
| muesli | i haven't complained about speed so far ;-) | 01:27 |
| * dfaure has ;) | 01:28 | |
| muesli | well, anyways. just curious and wanted to pick your brain... it's too little of a problem in reality | 01:28 |
| muesli | i'd assume, at least | 01:29 |
| * dfaure goes to bed - cu | 01:29 | |

| davidearney | I guess I can do that get from a USB stick | 02:59 |
| davidearney | how do you use kpackagekit to install a package from a USB stick? | 03:44 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: i would not know, but installing such a package would be easy from the command line | 03:52 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: i can tell you how, if you'd like to give it a try | 03:53 |
| davidearney | sure | 03:53 |
| davidearney | I have the file on a USB stick | 03:54 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: is this package from an official ubuntu repository? (just curious) | 03:54 |
| davidearney | the package is wpasupplicant_0.6.10.orig.tar.gz and I got it from http://packages.debian.org/sid/wpasupplicant | 03:54 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: is there a reason why you would need this package as opposed to the wpasupplicant that comes with kubuntu by default? | 03:55 |
| davidearney | wifi isn't working | 03:56 |
| claydoh | davidearney: you should just be able to double-click it to install, but iirc wpasupplicant is already installed by default | 03:56 |
| davidearney | I'm trying to get my broadcom 4322 on a dell e6550 to work. | 03:56 |
| davidearney | I'm having some wireless problems. | 03:56 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: i don't think that installing this package is what you want to do | 03:57 |
| davidearney | I'm running kubuntu 10.10 | 03:57 |
| davidearney | okay.... | 03:57 |
| davidearney | let me describe my problem | 03:57 |
| davidearney | I'm not on my own network, for one. | 03:57 |
| davidearney | LOL | 03:57 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: have you tried running 'additional drivers' (kde-jockey) | 03:57 |
| davidearney | I have not....I'm brand spanking new to linux. I installed earlier this evening. | 03:58 |
| davidearney | I'm in IRC on my MacBook Pro trying to figure this out. | 03:58 |
| jmichaelx | ok, go to your main kde menu, go to 'system', then select 'additional drivers' | 03:59 |
| davidearney | the most I've figured out how to do so far was get my machine dual booting with Windows and kubuntu. | 03:59 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: you do have a network connection , do you not? | 03:59 |
| davidearney | I do not. wireless only. | 03:59 |
| jmichaelx | internet connection* | 03:59 |
| jmichaelx | but you are connected to the internet? | 03:59 |
| davidearney | I'm not at home. I'm travelling....and will be doing so for months. | 03:59 |
| davidearney | yes, on my Mac. | 03:59 |
| jmichaelx | ahh | 03:59 |
| davidearney | not on my linux box. | 03:59 |
| claydoh | davidearney: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?highlight=%28BCM4322%29 | 04:00 |
| claydoh | more info there, tho some of the gui instructions are Gnome-centric | 04:00 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: i think there is a good chance that if you could connect the PC to the internet via Ethernet, and the run 'additional drivers', that may get you off the ground | 04:00 |
| claydoh | I agree with jmichaelx | 04:01 |
| davidearney | Okay....let me move to another room with both laptops. | 04:01 |
| === root is now known as Guest3789 | ||
| jmichaelx | davidearney: also, let us know which version of kubunt you are using | 04:02 |
| jmichaelx | kubuntu* | 04:02 |
| davidearney | 10.10 64 bit | 04:03 |
| davidearney | let me see if I can find my grandfather's switch in all of this mess in his computer room..... | 04:03 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: ok, give 'additional drivers' a try... i may take a few minutes | 04:04 |
| davidearney | Okay, found the switch, and I'm running additional drivers now. | 04:06 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: keep us posted | 04:07 |
| davidearney | looks like it's run | 04:08 |
| davidearney | restarting now, for good measure. | 04:08 |
| jmichaelx | good deal | 04:09 |
| claydoh | davidearney: not really necessary, but won't hurt | 04:09 |
| davidearney | so used to Windows....change a desktop background.....reboot | 04:09 |
| davidearney | just a habit really. | 04:09 |
| jmichaelx | broadcom has actually released some open source drivers for their wireless chipsets recently, so hopefully in the future, some of these bcm adapters will work out of the box | 04:10 |
| davidearney | this is my first taste of linux on a personal box. At least for full deployment use. | 04:11 |
| davidearney | If I like it, I'll just burn my W7 partitiion. | 04:11 |
| davidearney | hmmmmm.... | 04:12 |
| davidearney | interesting...now the box won't reboot at all. no dual boot prompt window or anything. | 04:13 |
| davidearney | okay, good to go, had to reboot a second time. | 04:13 |
| davidearney | Okay.....I'm at least seeing the card now. | 04:16 |
| davidearney | Okay....step two jmichaelx | 04:19 |
| davidearney | I'm able to see the network adapter, and the available network....but I can't connect. | 04:19 |
| davidearney | it's a shitty old AT&T DSL modem here, and the encryption type is WEP.....do people even use that anymore? | 04:20 |
| davidearney | ' | 04:20 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: people do still use WEP, but they shouldn't | 04:23 |
| davidearney | it was sarcasm on my part. | 04:23 |
| davidearney | LOL | 04:23 |
| davidearney | looks like the linux box is attempting to negotiate an IP on wireless right now. | 04:23 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: i feel that with the correct info entered, you should be able to connect... double-check obvious things like the WEP key, etc | 04:24 |
| davidearney | Now....whoever set up this network used a number as the passphrase....I'm going to set my key type to passphrase, right? | 04:25 |
| davidearney | as opposed to Hex or ASCII Key | 04:26 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: likely... if that does not work, try hex (if the number could possibly be hex) | 04:27 |
| davidearney | doesn't seem like it would be since it's only 10 digits, but I'll try both ways if necessary. | 04:29 |
| davidearney | Okay, I'm connected. | 04:30 |
| davidearney | For the moment. | 04:30 |
| davidearney | thanks so much for your help everyone, especially jmichaelx | 04:31 |
| davidearney | I'll get my updates and such installed and then come back when I know I've broken something else. | 04:31 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: hopefully your updates won't break anything! | 04:32 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: on another note, i do hope your laptop does not have mobile intel graphics, or you may be in for a rough ride | 04:32 |
| davidearney | can you help me with looking that up? | 04:33 |
| davidearney | what's the terminal query? | 04:33 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: open a terminal (i.e. Konsole), and enter 'lspci | grepVGA', and give us the output | 04:33 |
| jmichaelx | oops.. | 04:34 |
| jmichaelx | lspci | grep VGA | 04:34 |
| jmichaelx | (there should be a space between 'grep' and 'VGA' | 04:34 |
| jmichaelx | ) | 04:34 |
| davidearney | ugh | 04:34 |
| davidearney | not good | 04:35 |
| jmichaelx | what does it say? | 04:35 |
| davidearney | Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset | 04:35 |
| davidearney | rev 07 | 04:35 |
| jmichaelx | you may be all right | 04:35 |
| jmichaelx | give it a whirl | 04:35 |
| jmichaelx | i have a laptop with the 945gm chipset... it's horrible in 10.10 | 04:35 |
| davidearney | still planning to give it a whirl, and no problems with the little I've been using it. | 04:36 |
| davidearney | I'll be interested to see how this works out for me. | 04:36 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: if you do have a lot of graphics problems, i would suggest installing 10.04.1 instead | 04:36 |
| davidearney | I mostly compute for productivity these days, and I'm not trying to do anything like gaming on the platform. | 04:37 |
| davidearney | browser recommendations? | 04:37 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: i recommend both firefox and chromium-browser.... the default browser 'rekonq' is not too bad either | 04:38 |
| davidearney | Okay, I was planning on getting firefox and chromium | 04:38 |
| davidearney | so no surprises there. | 04:38 |
| davidearney | I'll be installing Open Office as well. | 04:39 |
| jmichaelx | davidearney: open office should already be there | 04:39 |
| davidearney | oh, didn't know it was bundled. | 04:40 |
| davidearney | jmichaelx, I'll have a look. | 04:41 |
| davidearney | I'll be damned. | 04:41 |
| davidearney | recommended IRC utility? | 04:42 |
| davidearney | or is quassel good enough? | 04:42 |
| jmichaelx | i've never used quassel, so i cannot say. i really like konversation, personally | 04:44 |
| dearney | well, now I'm here on two machines | 04:44 |
| davidearney | or I was anyway. | 04:45 |

| sameer | hello | 12:18 |
| ToxinPowe | anyone uses KDE activities here? | 12:32 |
| Tm_T | I do | 12:33 |
| ToxinPowe | I have a problem, when I reboot/restart KDE my apps don't remember activities settings | 12:34 |
| ToxinPowe | for example firefox for "work" any help? | 12:35 |
| Wolfcastle | hello | 12:35 |
| Wolfcastle | I have a problem with my cpu frequency | 12:35 |
| ct529 | I am on 10.04 LTS on my production machine .... whilst I really like the kde envrionment, the colour combination is doing my head in .... is there a way to definitively get rid of the windows colour and adopt either a green, or a brown (kind of human theme in ubuntu) or a soft purple .... I have tried in many ways, but I do not seem to be able to change all the colours so I awlays have some part of the windows or the panel or the plasmoid that | 12:36 |
| ct529 | retain the old colour | 12:36 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: what problem? | 12:36 |
| Wolfcastle | it seems to be set at 1.2 GHz when my max speed is 2Ghz | 12:36 |
| Wolfcastle | It may have ocurred after installing cpudyn i'm not sure | 12:36 |
| Wolfcastle | however I now installed cpufreqd instead | 12:36 |
| ToxinPowe | Tm_T: Do you have this problem too? | 12:37 |
| Wolfcastle | and I'm using cpufreq-set -r -f 2Ghz to change the frequency but nothing happens | 12:37 |
| Tm_T | ToxinPowe: hmmm, I don't know about that, sorry | 12:37 |
| Wolfcastle | cpufreq-info still shows I'm running at 1.2 GHz | 12:37 |
| ToxinPowe | Tm_T: ok, np | 12:37 |
| Tm_T | ct529: in systemsettings, you can change color scheme to your liking | 12:38 |
| Wolfcastle | any ideas? | 12:38 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: nope, you can change a lot of things, but I want to remove the old colour scheme *completely *, without any track of the standard colour eithe rin the windows, the panel the plasmoid the bootstrap screen | 12:39 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: just one sec | 12:39 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: thanx | 12:40 |
| Tm_T | ct529: plasma has its own theme, but all the rest is handled thru the color scheme | 12:40 |
| Tm_T | ct529: I don't have any blue other than icons in my desktop (: | 12:40 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: are you sure the frequency you have ste is among the allowed frequencies? | 12:40 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: try first by setting the frequency for one sincgle CPU or core | 12:41 |
| Wolfcastle | yes I'm sure | 12:41 |
| Wolfcastle | http://pastebin.com/VxqpRWZb | 12:41 |
| Wolfcastle | ok i will try just one | 12:42 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: nope nothing happens | 12:43 |
| TopGear | hi | 12:43 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: try cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 2.00 Ghz as root | 12:43 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: what do you mean by plasma has its own colour theme? | 12:44 |
| TopGear | gtkpod won't recognize my ipod touch second gen... it doesn't see it, and it isn't mounted anywhere where I can find it.. lsusb: gtkpod won't recognize my ipod touch second gen... | 12:44 |
| TopGear | <TopGear> it doesn't see it, and it isn't mounted anywhere.... | 12:44 |
| TopGear | eh? | 12:44 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: If I change all the colours in the colours theme, I still have some areas in the windows that maintain the old colours | 12:44 |
| TopGear | that's certainly no lsusb :p | 12:44 |
| TopGear | lsusb: Bus 002 Device 006: ID 05ac:1293 Apple, Inc. iPod Touch 2.Gen | 12:45 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: nope nothing, is it relevant that /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq is empty? | 12:45 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: what do you mean empty? | 12:46 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: there's no files in it | 12:46 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: there should actually be directories in it | 12:46 |
| Tm_T | ct529: tried any other color scheme entirely? | 12:47 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: which governor are you in? | 12:47 |
| TopGear | is there someone who knows what i should do now? | 12:47 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: however in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/bios_limit the value is 1200000 | 12:47 |
| Tm_T | ct529: and about plasma, it uses its own themes, the color scheme doesn't affect to it much | 12:47 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: what governor are you? | 12:47 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: userspace it seems | 12:48 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: what is covered by the plasma theme? | 12:48 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: oh that is the problem .... | 12:48 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: your userspace governor only allows 1.20 Ghz | 12:48 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: your have to change governor | 12:48 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: go to governor ondemand if you have it | 12:48 |
| Tm_T | ct529: the panel, desktop and widgets in it, some system dialogs | 12:48 |
| Wolfcastle | I did change it to performance and not much happened | 12:48 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: no, change it to ondemand | 12:49 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: i will try that thanx | 12:49 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: yes, you see that is one of the problems .... I want to change the colours also there | 12:49 |
| Tm_T | ct529: then you have to change to some other plasma theme | 12:50 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: ok now there is a ondemand directory there | 12:50 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: oh I see .... I do not like any of ones I have seen. How do I develop a new one? | 12:50 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: doesn't seem to be going any faster though | 12:51 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: exactly .... and also a stats directory I imagine | 12:51 |
| Wolfcastle | nop no stats | 12:51 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: no wait, now run cpufreq-info and pastebin please | 12:51 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: ok http://pastebin.com/u0QkuPBZ | 12:52 |
| JuJuBee | Anybody able to tell me why when I (knichel) ls -al Default/ I get http://pastie.org/1252509 but if I sudo ls -al Default/ I get http://pastie.org/1252496 | 12:52 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: there is aproblem with the definition of your governors, look at line 12 | 12:54 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: your governors do not allow you to change the frequency to anything but 1.20 Ghz | 12:54 |
| Wolfcastle | indeed | 12:55 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: your have to modify the governor definition | 12:55 |
| Wolfcastle | any idea how to fix that, cause I don't | 12:55 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: "cpufreq-set --min 1.20 GHz --max 2.00 GHz" as root in governor ondemand | 12:57 |
| Tm_T | ct529: plasma themes are mostly svg graphics, you can see tutorial in http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Theme | 12:57 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: thanks a lot for your help | 12:57 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: is it also possible to change things like the radius of the corners of the windows? | 12:57 |
| Tm_T | ct529: depends on the windeco you're using, some window themes has settings for that | 12:58 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: I meant if I wanted to do my own, I do not want to waste time anymore in trying to create satisfactory set ups, because I am unhappy with the results | 12:59 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: ok i did that but that line still says the same | 13:00 |
| Wolfcastle | what an annoying bug | 13:00 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: try that | 13:04 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: cpufreq-set -c 0 -g ondemand --min 1.20Mhz --max 2.00Ghz | 13:04 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: then pastebin the result of cpufreq-info | 13:04 |
| Wolfcastle | ok thanx | 13:04 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: everything as root!!!! | 13:04 |
| Wolfcastle | yes of course | 13:04 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: I would also like to modify the bootstrap sequence because that bubbly theme makes me sick :-D | 13:07 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: still nothing dude: http://pastebin.com/gYGrTFCa | 13:07 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: then there must be a bug in your cpufreq utils .... what version / what kubuntu release? | 13:08 |
| Wolfcastle | kubuntu 10.10 and cpufreqd 2.4.2 | 13:09 |
| Wolfcastle | that's nice | 13:09 |
| Wolfcastle | think i'll try out fedora 14 see how that works | 13:10 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: try one last thing .... cpufreq-set -c 0 -g userspace, then cpufreq-set -c 0 -g userspace --min 1.20Mhz --max 2.00Ghz | 13:10 |
| Wolfcastle | ok | 13:10 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: on the first cpu please (-c 0) | 13:11 |
| Wolfcastle | ct529: ok done, but I still get the between 1.20 and 1.20 | 13:12 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: I am using 10.04 LTS with cpufrequtils 006. | 13:12 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: are the cpufrequtils properly installed, could you please check with dpkg, synaptic or whatever your use? | 13:12 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: could you please pastebin again? | 13:13 |
| Wolfcastle | http://pastebin.com/acjEQzVb | 13:14 |
| djbeenie | can anyone help me? every time I restart my ubuntu system (dell d630 laptop) with dockingstation with two external monitors. I setup my displays in "display and monitor"...everytime I reboot, I have to RE-Configure my monitors which is quite annoying, can anyone help me? | 13:14 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: that is weird, it must be a bug with version 007-1. | 13:16 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: sorry, I will not move to Maverick for another couple of months at least | 13:16 |
| Wolfcastle | yes very weird | 13:16 |
| Wolfcastle | np thanx for the help | 13:16 |
| Tm_T | ct529: you might be interested to know about aurorae, see http://kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=81 | 13:17 |
| Wolfcastle | it was working fine in 10.04 AFAIK | 13:17 |
| Wolfcastle | i just noticed it was a bit slow recently | 13:17 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: it is definitively working fine on mine | 13:17 |
| ct529 | Wolfcastle: the interesting thing is that the ondemand governor works fine on yours .... but still .... | 13:18 |
| Wolfcastle | I'll try it in some other distro to see if it works | 13:19 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: thanks! what is Aurorae though? | 13:26 |
| Tm_T | ct529: windeco engine that uses similar themes than plasma | 13:27 |
| Tm_T | as in, you don't have to code your own windeco entirely | 13:27 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: so by modifying the plasma theme, you also modify the windows decoration? | 13:28 |
| Peace- | mm | 13:28 |
| Peace- | lucid have not kde 4.5.2?^ | 13:28 |
| Peace- | that is bad | 13:28 |
| Tm_T | ct529: no, but you can easily port the changes | 13:28 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: I was hoping that creating new windows decoration and new plasma theme was much easier .... | 13:28 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: thanks | 13:28 |
| Tm_T | ct529: you change image in one, you copy the changes over tro the other (: | 13:28 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: I thought kde3 to kde4 was all about making it easier to build new desktop functionalities including themes | 13:29 |
| Tm_T | ct529: it is easier now, way easier | 13:31 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: do you have any good link for changing the bootstrap / login theme as well? | 13:31 |
| Tm_T | unfortunately no | 13:32 |
| ct529 | Tm_T: thanks for all your help .... | 13:37 |
| Tm_T | np, glad to be of any help | 13:38 |

| collabra | where did you download it from? | 14:45 |
| zoggy | hi sorry to bother, i'm looking for a more up-to-date version of kdevelop than is in maverick. is there a nightly .deb by any chance? thanks a lot | 14:46 |

| collabra | nevermind.... | 14:56 |
| alex_ | any body know how to install rar format theme? | 15:01 |
| collabra | sudo apt-get install unrar | 15:02 |

| alex_ | yes | 15:04 |

| noaXess | hey all | 15:10 |
| noaXess | have upgraded a 10.04.1 to 10.10.. while the upgrade process wa finisched and the message: remove obsolete packages, my sun ;).. has pressed the power button from the pc .. grrrr.. | 15:10 |
| noaXess | how can i remove obsolete packages now? system runs ok, sudo apt-get auroremove doesn't have packages to remove | 15:11 |
| dasKreech | noaXess: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get autoremove ? | 15:16 |
| smooph | Hi guys ... I have a problem with akregator ...it doesn't save the feeds next time i log in they are gone | 15:16 |
| noaXess | dasKreech: does nothing, means also, alls ok.. no error messages | 15:17 |
| smooph | maybe everything is ok | 15:18 |
| smooph | :) | 15:18 |
| dasKreech | noaXess: Hmm maybe the computer is faster than your sun (sic) | 15:19 |
| noaXess | dasKreech: i hope | 15:20 |
| noaXess | i have another problem with mic.. in 10.04.1 all works fine, sound and mic.. but now.. mic won't work, i see it in pavucontrol, but can't get it working, also if i mute/unmute it.. | 15:20 |
| dasKreech | 2 smooph! | 15:20 |
| smooph | Hi guys ... I have a problem with akregator ...it doesn't save the feeds next time i log in they are gone | 15:22 |
| Peace- | wow | 15:22 |
| Peace- | maybe you should open a bug | 15:22 |
| Peace- | smooph: i woudl like know ... but if you create another user ... | 15:23 |
| Peace- | smooph: akregator does the same? | 15:23 |
| smooph | Peace-: what are you thinking ? | 15:27 |
| dasKreech | smooph: what happens if you manually close akregrator? | 15:28 |
| smooph | manually closing the akregator, kontact asks to be closed and now without restarting the system they are still there | 15:29 |
| smooph | you think loging out doesn't give kontact enough time to close akregator down correctly | 15:30 |
| smooph | ? | 15:30 |
| lelamal | hi all, does anyone know where kubuntu stores contacts? | 15:35 |
| lelamal | Akonadi Configuration shows Personal Contacts, and it correctly points to ~/.local/share/contacts/, but the target folder doesn't exist | 15:35 |
| noaXess | what about java and sound? does this test works on any of your machines? http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/samples/JavaSoundDemo/ | 15:37 |
| smooph | it looks like a shutdown doesn't give kontact enough time to close akregator directly | 15:38 |
| dasKreech | lelamal: In mysql? | 15:38 |
| noaXess | or need i install an extra packages to get java sound working? | 15:38 |
| dasKreech | smooph: probably | 15:38 |
| dasKreech | smooph && lelamal: #akonadi can probably give you appropriate answers | 15:39 |
| lelamal | dasKreech: ok thanks! | 15:39 |
| Peace- | smooph: have you tried with a new user? | 15:40 |
| dasKreech | lelamal: The default store for akonadi is a database so it's probably there | 15:40 |
| smooph | dasKreech: akregator as far as i know doesn't use akonadi | 15:40 |
| Peace- | lelamal: $HOME/.kde | 15:40 |
| dasKreech | Peace-: It works when he closes akregator manually so it's something with doing a shutdown that makes it not save | 15:40 |
| smooph | Peace-: no i didn't I don't think trying a different user would help | 15:41 |
| Peace- | smooph: try expeccially if you have upgraded kde | 15:41 |
| Peace- | trying is without pain | 15:41 |
| lelamal | Peace-: /.kde contains a lot of folders, can you be more specific, please? | 15:41 |
| dasKreech | smooph: far as I know it doesn't either but you said kontacts asks to be closed so might be related | 15:42 |
| dasKreech | actually #kontact might be better for you | 15:42 |
| Peace- | lelamal: lelamal googing $HOME/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf . | 15:42 |
| Peace- | i guess | 15:42 |
| smooph | dasKreech: I just found that from a while ago I still had kontact in the session manager: exclude programs ... maybe that was it | 15:43 |
| dasKreech | >_> | 15:43 |
| smooph | dasKreech: kontact doesn't ask to be closed ... only if I close akregator via system-icon than (expected behavior) it want's to close all of kontact | 15:44 |
| dasKreech | smooph: Ah right what happens if you just ^Q ? | 15:44 |
| BluesKaj | hiyas all | 15:46 |
| smooph | dasKreech: ... I will stop for now ... I have to go home anyways but ... the session thing looks like it could have been the error ... I will keep an eye on it and ask again if that wasn't the reason | 15:46 |
| smooph | bye | 15:46 |
| dasKreech | smooph: Cool :) | 15:49 |
| dasKreech | hi BluesKaj | 15:49 |

| Pici | !nox | SJr | 17:09 |
| ubottu | SJr: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 17:09 |
| SJr | Hmmmmm I don't seem to have a /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 17:13 |
| bluekb | I have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. When I go into the kde control center to set global shortcuts, I have tried to map Meta + KP_7 or Meta + KP_Home to go to desktop 1. When it defines the mapping, though, it seems to miss that it's the /keypad/ keys, and instead either defines the mapping for the 7 above they qwerty keys or the regular home button. When I try to actually test it by typing Meta+KP-Home, nothing happens. | 17:31 |
| bluekb | Any ideas? | 17:31 |

| SubCool_ | i just edited my systesm grub file, and grub still didnt show during boot | 17:53 |
| bluekb | SubCool_, which file did you edit | 17:56 |
| SubCool_ | my keyboard is acting up, srry | 17:57 |
| === bill is now known as pegasusbil | ||
| bluekb | Also, there is a grub option for hiding the grub loader - you might look into whether it needs to be set to false. | 17:57 |
| SubCool_ | ugh. /etc/default/grub | 17:57 |
| bluekb | So you've probably got the new grub. | 17:57 |
| bluekb | Did you run the command to install grub after editing? | 17:57 |
| SubCool_ | .. i do? | 17:57 |
| SubCool_ | no, im on a live cd | 17:57 |
| SubCool_ | trying to recover | 17:58 |
| bluekb | Um... then /etc/default/grub is not the right file to edit. | 17:58 |
| bluekb | I think you will want to edit ... (checking) | 17:58 |
| bluekb | /boot/grub/menu.lst if it's the older version of grub. | 17:59 |
| bluekb | I'm not an expert. I recently did some recovering myself. | 17:59 |
| bluekb | The way I solved my problem was to install a new ubuntu live cd onto a blank partition, edit the grub configuration file (/etc/default/grub) and add an option for grub to scan other partitions for operating systems. | 18:00 |
| bluekb | Something along those lines might help too. | 18:00 |
| SubCool_ | well, what i need is to reinstall KDE. i uninstalled the base to fix a problem, now i have no recovery mode | 18:02 |
| SubCool_ | i have 10.04 kubuntu installed, i think i would have the new one, uless the new one is on 10.10 | 18:03 |

| flats | I'm a fairly new buntu user. I've been noticing that I as I try various flavors of Linux some distros automatically find all my windows shares on all the PC's in my house and some don't and say I need to go thru a whole Samba config. What is different that some distros automatically find everything? | 18:58 |

| RadSurfer | Regarding Skype: Would I download Ubuntu 32-bit version of Skype, or Debian Lenny? just to be certain. | 19:03 |
| lontra | RadSurfer: are you running ubuntu or debian? | 19:05 |
| RadSurfer | Lenny is for Sidux/Aptosid? | 19:05 |
| lontra | RadSurfer: lenny is for debian lenny | 19:05 |
| RadSurfer | kubuntu | 19:05 |
| RadSurfer | not actually debian... | 19:05 |
| lontra | RadSurfer: then you want the one for ubuntu | 19:05 |
| RadSurfer | just debian-compatible :) | 19:05 |
| lontra | ubuntu isn't debian compatible | 19:06 |
| lontra | at least not with binaries | 19:06 |
| RadSurfer | Ok. | 19:06 |
| lontra | they can sometimes install ok but it's bad practice to install a .deb from debian on a ubuntu machine and vice versa | 19:06 |
| RadSurfer | Gotcha. | 19:07 |
| RadSurfer | once kubuntu settled down on this machine, after running a few days, its been fine. | 19:07 |
| dfaure | how do I ensure that the eth0 uses a fixed IP, without disabling networkmanager completely? | 19:11 |
| dfaure | I configured an entry in knetworkmanager, but I still have to manually select it after boot, by default it uses DHCP | 19:12 |

| gNewPower | Hi. Though I mostly used GNOME, I am using a lot of KDE applications. How can I increase the size of the fonts in the KDE applications I am running? How can I mute all sounds from the KDE apps I am running. Thanks! | 19:16 |
| dfaure | gNewPower: systemsettings, Fonts (or Alt+f2, fonts, or kcmshell4 fonts) | 19:17 |
| gNewPower | dfaure, alt-F2 gets me to the GNOME sys settings | 19:17 |
| dfaure | you're not using kubuntu? | 19:17 |
| gNewPower | nope | 19:17 |
| dfaure | couldn't know, given the channel name ;) | 19:18 |
| gNewPower | Ubuntu | 19:18 |
| dfaure | run systemsettings, then | 19:18 |
| dfaure | or type "kcmshell4 fonts" in a terminal | 19:18 |

| LOGAN | hi im installing through WUBI and after done it ejects the CD and asks for reboot. Reboot into windows? into Kubuntu? and do I need to reinsert the CD to finish up installing under Kubuntu? | 19:38 |
| jschall_ | is the 2.6.36 kernel going to be made available in meerkat? | 19:39 |
| dfaure | LOGAN: install is done, so reboot whereever you want ;) typically into kubuntu, though. | 19:41 |
| dfaure | you don't need the cd again | 19:41 |
| * dfaure is helping people but nobody is helping him with networkmakager and fixed IP :( | 19:41 | |
| LOGAN | thanks dfaure as last time I tried it seemed that it needed cd for finishing install. hmm ok I try rebooting into kubuntu | 19:43 |
| LOGAN | heh now new Ubuntu will get Unity, will there be a Gubuntu that will keep traditional Gnome? | 19:45 |
| LOGAN | hmm upon reboot into kubuntu I get finishing install and press esc for more options. will it continue by itself? | 19:50 |
| LOGAN | Yeah I'm a noob :) | 19:50 |
| dfaure | LOGAN: that's without the cdrom in the drive? | 19:52 |
| LOGAN | dfaure: yes now I try with CDROM | 20:02 |
| LOGAN | on first try I ended also in command prompt apparently | 20:02 |
| dfaure | can't follow at all. When I install kubuntu, I need to boot on the CDROM only once. | 20:05 |
| LOGAN | well | 20:07 |
| LOGAN | it stated it could not find installation files | 20:07 |
| LOGAN | so I thought, it needed the cd rom after all | 20:07 |
| LOGAN | don't forget I used the fancy WUBI install | 20:08 |

| * LOGAN rolls his eyes | 20:21 | |
| JuJuBee | DJWK: I will check that out, thanks | 20:22 |
| dfaure | LOGAN: still booting on the CDROM? that's of course much slower than from the harddisk | 20:22 |
| LOGAN | dfaure: no it boots from HDD | 20:23 |
| JuJuBee | Does Ekiga work with skype? | 20:23 |
| LOGAN | but apparently it needed some files from CD rom to install | 20:23 |
| LOGAN | gosh the HDD still active. well it's a faster install than windows, hehe | 20:24 |
| LOGAN | but in live I would have been booted up | 20:24 |
| LOGAN | next time Ill better install from USB | 20:24 |
| LOGAN | hmm I heare a sound..... a windows sound | 20:25 |
| LOGAN | lol | 20:26 |

| dfaure | pawleeq: ok so keyboard and X11 are fine; then I suspect a global shortcut in kde | 21:56 |
| pawleeq | lontra, right click the icon and choose Setings, click on the icon in following dialogue | 21:57 |

| dfaure | modern, slick, flexible | 22:01 |
| * dfaure is going to run out of adjectives somewhen.... | 22:01 | |
| fgnfgnry | so KDE is better than GNOME? | 22:06 |
| dfaure | by far | 22:06 |
| pawleeq | dfaure, lame question, how to check those keys? | 22:16 |
| dfaure | just go through the items in the combo and see if Up appears in the list below | 22:16 |

| dfaure | use konqueror (possibly with kwebkitpart) | 22:44 |

| * dfaure wonders if kubuntu 10.10 ships kwebkitpart | 22:44 | |
| lontra | oh i don't even think 10.10 ships w/ konqueror | 22:46 |
| dfaure | sigh | 22:46 |
| dfaure | why do I even bother. | 22:47 |
| lontra | well rekonq is ok | 22:47 |
| dfaure | yeah, rub it in - I just spent 10 years working on konqueror.... | 22:47 |
| lontra | oh really? | 22:48 |
| lontra | i said rekonq is OK not brilliant | 22:48 |
| dfaure | yep (well, and on other parts of kde which are fortunately used by everything else, so it's not all wasted...) | 22:48 |
| lontra | do you know why quassel is trying to open winebrowser when i click on a link? | 22:49 |
| dfaure | because you don't have konqueror installed? hahaha | 22:49 |
| dfaure | no seriously, check `kcmshell4 componentchooser` and `keditfiletype text/html` | 22:49 |

| johnny77 | James147: I still see just a big folder icon. | 23:36 |
| James147 | hmm, ... try adding it on a new user, that will tell you if its a problem with the config files (most likly ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc) | 23:37 |
| nerdy_kid | johnny77 a big folder icon? folder view doesnt show up as an icon unless it is in a panel (or its bugged) | 23:37 |
| nerdy_kid | are you sure it is not quick access? | 23:38 |
| johnny77 | nerdy_kid: Yes, because when I right click on it one of the options is Folder View Settings. | 23:40 |

| johnny77 | nerdy_kid: how? | 23:41 |
| johnny77 | nerdy_kid: and what should i use so you can see the screen shot. | 23:42 |
| nerdy_kid | johnny77: hit the "prnt scrn" button on your keyboard, ksnapshot will pop up. then upload it to http://imageshack.us/ and post the url here | 23:42 |
| nerdy_kid | johnny77: and resizing the folder view applet doesnt work? | 23:43 |
| johnny77 | nerdy_kid: I think there is something wrong. One of my desktop just lost the icons i had on it... | 23:44 |
| nerdy_kid | johnny77: well if it is really messed up, then do what James147 suggested. Create a new user and see if the problems happen from there. | 23:45 |
| nerdy_kid | johnny77: I have to go now, good luck. If you still cant get it to work you can always post a thread on ubuntuforums.org | 23:46 |
