[00:00] viliny_: how is t? [00:00] viliny_: N900? [00:04] Ok, so I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine, and I'd like to install KDE. Is there any way to install KDE3 from a Kubuntu 10.04 (KDE3 Respin) CD? === naught102 is now known as naught101 [00:05] why KDE3? [00:05] Kalidarn, because I hate KDE4. [00:06] what do you hate about it [00:06] Kalidarn, so and very Windows Vistaish. The steps should be the same as installing KDE4 from a Kubuntu CD. [00:06] *slow [00:07] it depends on if your distributor supplies packages [00:07] im not even sure if ubuntu supply kde3 anymore [00:07] i don't think anyone really uses it anymore [00:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu/Kde3/Lucid that might be what you are after though [00:08] Kalidarn, I have Kubuntu 10.04 KDE3 Respin, but I was wondering how to install it onto a Ubuntu install from a CD> [00:08] Like getting the .deb files. === kim_ is now known as kimo [00:10] Sir_Konrad, that would be from a PPA, nothing for Maverick yet, and completely unsupported (ie 100% at your own risk) [00:10] Right bazhang. :) [00:10] kde3.5maintainers PPA === kimo is now known as kim3 [00:11] err -maintainers === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [00:15] Heck, I'll just get KDE 4. [00:18] I'm using kubuntu & kde desktop. Whenever I click a button in a gtk application (such as gimp) it makes a sound. How can I disable gtk button sounds? === jupaukowski is now known as BluesGirl [00:41] I've looked through the kde gnome settings, but I can't find anything there which will silence qt buttons. [00:45] the "kde gnome settings"? [00:45] kde settings, and the separate gnome settings === ross is now known as Guest80036 === Guest80036 is now known as rosscovv === muzer is now known as MuzerAway [01:57] Greets === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [04:31] Is anybody there? [04:56] I've made my own plymouth theme. It works fine with the plymouth deamon - plymouthd - under X. But not so well - or at all somehtimes - when I boot. Anyone? [05:11] hi [05:12] helooooo [05:13] any one [05:13] ? === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [05:40] hmm === Mike is now known as Guest53939 [06:11] hey.. whats the different between cd version and dvd ? === root is now known as Guest40594 [06:30] someone here? [06:30] anyone can help ? === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [06:35] NightCore: the dvd has more packages [06:35] its sometimes useful especially when you do not have internet :P [06:35] ok.. if i have windows 7 and want install kubuntu [06:35] it also allows for the text installer [06:36] i need open a new hard drive ? [06:36] so if you want to do encrypted LVM it can be handy [06:36] NightCore: you can partition it i guess. [06:36] you may need to resize windows though [06:36] backup your stuff before you do that. [06:36] i want a both [06:36] should always backup before formatting or partitioning [06:37] yes you can have both on the same disk, if you partition the disk [06:37] ok.. how i multiboot ? [06:37] yeah grub will pickup windows once it is installed and then you will get a menu that allows you to choose either operating system [06:38] ok thanks.. i need to install drivers in liunux ? [06:38] probably only your nvidia one [06:39] there is icq and msn for linux ? [06:42] yeah there are clients for this either pidgin or kopete [06:42] are good choices. [06:43] they come shipped with the desktop environment [06:43] ok.. sorry about al the questions [06:43] how i install nvidia driver ? [06:43] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.12.run [06:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [06:43] i'd use the wiki's method [06:43] not from the NV website [06:44] it should automatically ask you if you want it actually [06:45] in recent versions of ubuntu it does that === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn === firephoto_ is now known as firephoto === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [07:56] Hi. anybody know about plasma netbook?

I have kubuntu 10.10, I installed ATI proprietary driver, and was unable to turn on windows effects, then I uninstalled that driver, but still I'm unable to turn on these effects. WHY? :( === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [08:04] hi. I have kubuntu 10.10, I installed ATI proprietary driver, and was unable to turn on windows effects, then I uninstalled that driver, but still I'm unable to turn on these effects. WHY? :( [08:06] hi, is there a command line tool that lets me send email with attachments? [08:18] Hi all [08:28] hey.... sup. [08:58] naftilos76, http://www.shelldorado.com/articles/mailattachments.html [09:04] hi, how do I report a bug? [09:04] it made kubuntu almost unusable [09:05] !bug | alesan [09:05] alesan: 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 [09:06] well this bug is when I suspend the laptop [09:06] I do not know which package it is [09:06] kde maybe?

[09:18] Tm_T, ^^^ [09:51] hello, is there a way/commans to share a folder without editing in smb.conf? [09:54] "I think" the samba server reads the .conf at start so needs a restart to reread settings [09:56] umm... ok so u mean there is no Single Command to share files/folder? [09:57] nafri: system-config-samba is a gui version that may help [09:59] I need help with k9copy. What does rip and encode do? [09:59] i'm not familiar with k9copy sresu... [09:59] sresu, rip it to an iso [10:00] bazhang: It creates different iso for every title. I want single file for all titles in it. Possible? [10:00] *different .avi [10:00] sresu, dvd? what are you trying to do [10:01] bazhang: Yes, DVD. I'm trying to make single .avi from all titles in DVD.. [10:02] sresu, to watch on a dvd player? [10:03] bazhang: The problem is that - its copyright protected. My colleagues use windows which promps a software from the DVD to run it on pc. Else on DVD player it runs fine. If I'm right I can play the DVD on Linux if I make some changes with k9copy... [10:04] bazhang: Or what should be the approach? [10:04] sresu, you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu .org [10:05] bazhang: Yes I have it [10:06] sresu, to join all the avi together for a single watchable dvd? or to rip the dvd to one big avi? [10:06] bazhang: I've it installed. Should I install kubuntu-restricted extras as well? [10:06] sresu, if the latter why not handbrake [10:06] sresu, yes [10:06] bazhang: Later.. [10:06] bazhang: No, I never tried handbrake [10:06] sresu, the latter, not later [10:07] ya latter* [10:07] bazhang: Hold on.. [10:08] sresu, try installing kubuntu-restricted-extras first. a more comprehensive solution is to use handbrake and make a watchable form [10:09] bazhang: All right. I'll install kubuntu-restricted-extras package and try handbrake. Is it not possible with k9copy? [10:09] sresu, first try with only kubuntu-restricted-extras , if that does not work, then use handbrake [10:10] k9copy is just a back up solution as far as I know [10:10] bazhang: Umm.. ok. I'll try what you suggested and get back. Thanks [10:11] sresu, welcome [10:15] bazhang: Thanks. It worked :) [10:15] bazhang: Is it possible that I make a copy of it as well? [10:16] sresu, yes [10:16] bazhang: Using handbrake? [10:16] sresu, an iso copy of the dvd using k9copy? or something different [10:16] bazhang: handbrake is not part of package manager if I'm right [10:17] bazhang: A single media file for whole DVD.. [10:17] sresu, handbrake then [10:18] bazhang: If not single, two would do as it asks for selection for scenes, play etc.. [10:18] bazhang: Is there a variant of handbrake in package manager? Its a trancoder right? [10:21] bazhang: Got it. I'm following this https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots. Thanks [10:22] sresu, welcome [10:58] anyone using ltsp with kubuntu 10.10? any regression? [11:05] markit: regression,...compiz doesn't stay activated after a re-boot with 64bitver. [11:05] i regressed back to 10.04 [11:06] i can't stand these typical flaws in system design. [11:06] regression on basic functionality are really scaring [11:06] it's frustrating that we act like windows,... well hell we'll fix it later,... ??? [11:06] I don't use compiz, but I'm too scared to upgrade [11:07] maybe I'd better test in a VM [11:07] oh, please dont aggree with me... please. [11:07] :) [11:07] i cant take it [11:07] ithese 'distros' [11:08] when are we gonna find a brilliant out off the spin sanctioned. [11:09] i see .... eh, what'll it be... it's not what it's become. [11:37] hello [11:39] KDE and groupware... i read a lot about that, but what about the compatible server? Can the KDE client connect to Collabtive, and other groupware not so famous as Kolab? [11:45] hey [11:49] are all packaged kubuntu kde apps modified to use the Window Menubar plasmoid or should it work on other distros? [11:50] IIRC there shouldn't be any modification, it should work as is [11:51] ok i tried compiling it for jaunty and it didnt seem to be doing anything [11:53] chiiiiiz: yes [11:53] ratweed: you tried compiling what? [11:53] compiled Window Menubar plasmoid [11:53] against upstream KDE sources [11:55] ratweed: unfortunately I don't know much of it, try asking in #plasma or instance [11:55] I tried Collabtive, can't have Redmine working ... I must add that my start point was a project Management server including larger groupware features... I will be involved in a factory building, and I would like to show there are no needs of MS products... But I need simple solutions as far clients (non *ubuntu users so far) are concerned [11:56] ok well i'm pretty sure the plasmoid itself is part of Ubuntu. thanks though [11:57] I must also add that *ubuntu is not mandatory, a OpenSuse might do it also ... I am a *ubuntu fan (tried all the flavours), and I want o push it in that direction... [12:05] does anyone know about a channel dedicated to opensources groupwares? [12:05] chiiiiiz: #kde-pim?

[13:33] phoenix_: avidemux gets mentioned a bit [13:33] bazhang: to 3gp [13:33] phoenix_, there are handbrake PPA about (totally at your own risk of course) [13:33] moetunes: i will check that [13:34] bazhang: anything without risk? [13:34] or simply use ffmpeg [13:34] bazhang: any frontend [13:34] phoenix_, for handbrake? there is the cli version and the gui-y one as well [13:35] bazhang: i mean to ffmpeg, winff is not good [13:35] phoenix_, winff is for mencoder?

[13:54] moetunes: the app showed the error message. but its to techinical [13:55] bazhang, I tried that one... but it had only this one, so I was trying some other...

[13:55] ynanm, sorry not to have used konvy for so long/ or be of any help [13:56] phoenix_, nope just PPA for now [13:56] bazhang, no woories, I think I've got it [13:56] ;-) [13:56] bazhang: ok [13:57] phoenix_: is the error about not having a lib ?

[14:05] yep [14:06] moetunes: i am trying that with the winff frontend [14:08] phoenix_: I found out early on that you get more options from the command line - if it won't work there you have no hope with a frontend [14:08] Hi! I have a problem with kate that didn't exist in 10.04 AFAIK: If I search for "\n" and replace it with ",", Kate replaces everything with withespace and appends a "," at the end of the line (in Regex and "Escape Sequence" mode). Can somebody reproduce this? [14:09] what I want Kate to do is replace newlines with commas, so that a newline-separated list becomes a coma-separated one [14:10] I've noticed a couple of ppl have had issues with kate [14:10] moetunes: i am looking at ffmpeg command line option. what bazhang gave me will be enought except that it is missing the video resize option [14:11] phoenix_: for ffmpeg to resize give the -s 340x210 or whatever size option [14:11] to bad, it's such a good editor [14:11] moetunes: ok i will try that [14:16] okay, seriously.. should i uninstall pulseaudio?

[15:18] jcgs, and if you type alsamixer in the terminal you get no such file or directory ? [15:19] BluesKaj: no that's not what happens, I know alsamixer is there, it just writes "mixer: no such file or directory" to standard error for some reason [15:19] jcgs, cat /proc/asound/cards in the terminal [15:20] BluesKaj: /proc/asound doesn't exist === elcuco is now known as cuco [15:20] does anyonw know why pastebin mught hate me?

[15:47] MadRobot: are you using 10.10 64 bit by perchance? [15:47] collabra: nope [15:48] well,... 10.10 32? 10.04 lts 64 or 32 bit? [15:48] 10.10 32 [15:48] open system settings from kmenu, under workspace appereance and behaviour go into desktop effects and check off 'enable desktop effects' [15:49] sounds like 32 bit has the same problem i encountered with 64 bit 10.10 [15:51] kyubutsu: it will be enabled by default at startup this way? [15:51] yeah,... should,... MadRobot [15:51] collabra: I see. [15:51] collabra, kyubutsu: Thanks a lot. :) [15:53] has anyone heard of compiz not loading on login witn 10.10 64 bit or 32? [16:18] is there an oscilloscope program i can use to read the alsamixer/pulseaudio output [16:18] I think I was reading about having to recompile it last night while I was searching out how to fix the scroll bar problem on chromium browser again [16:23] I'm using kubuntu amd64 dvd 10.10 [16:25] why does sound out heard soo bad when playing mp3s? anything could go wrong with my system? or my installation? [16:26] well.. kubuntu moved to a new sound layer [16:26] and so it is barely functional [16:27] kyubutsu, just asked about whether there was an oscilloscope program to monitor outputs, that would be a helpful tool for debugging what's going on [16:27] currently I'm pretty down on using kubuntu for anything sound related like ham radio or audio [16:28] things will get better over time [16:28] i'm using asus p5q motherboard with 2 speakers, sometimes 4. how to configure it? [16:28] and hopefully these things will be addressed well [16:30] so sound things take a lot of dedication and patience [16:30] i dont have sound issues.. in fact am kind of surprised pulseaudio works so well under kubuntu [16:30] it doesn't for me [16:31] i just wanted oscilloscope to check on some stream metrics [16:31] :( [16:32] alsamixer used to have a meter , i dont recall how to bring it up on interface [16:33] how to install pulse audio on kubuntu? how to remove alsa driver? [16:34] kubuntu 10.10 already comes with all that , you shouldnt need installing anything [16:36] ya, if things are not working it is more likely the laptop audio device not really kubuntu [16:37] i have ever tried to install my motboard sound driver, but later i've got no more idea with no sound out. I just can reinstall my system all over again. what do i need to do to enchance my sound? [16:37] kubuntu uses phonon, that's the new part I was talking about [16:38] so now we have alsa and pulseaudio and phonon all trying to capture the devices [16:38] it makes for a bit of a mess some times [16:39] there were added problems like Adobe not wanting to release a 64bit flash player so sound was failing for quite a while in 10.04 when you went to youtube if you could get any flash video to work at all [16:39] so everything does change for the better it just takes some elbow grease === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [16:40] what's phonon use for? is it a driver? [16:40] these types of technological evolutions happen all the time every few years the transition hasn't really been modeled that well so there are times when no safety net is there for basic things like just wanting to play music === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [16:41] phonon is like alsa and pulseaudio [16:41] it is a new audio device layer [16:41] a way to manage requests to the sound card [16:41] these days we need audio into stuff like Wine so they have to make virtual cards [16:41] it gets complex [16:42] everything always gets more complex :-) [16:42] getting difficult?

[17:04] but how to configure, such as adding annother output device? [17:06] FrauHansen,which wifi chip do you have ? [17:08] Netgear WPN111 using the ndiswrapper driver. It's working with wpa_supplicant (wext). But knetworkmanager showed driver: ndiswrapper and didn't give the option to use wpa, only wep. [17:10] eksunoz: Phonon is not designed to have every conceivable multimedia feature, but rather as a simple way to perform common functions of media players. Developers that require more control over a backend than Phonon can provide are recommended to use the native API or the GStreamer API on systems for which it's available === matteo__ is now known as checkmate [17:11] BluesKaj: the wiki says it's an Atheros chip.

[17:17] dunno if it will work tho ... I haven't had any luck with it [17:18] wasn't atheros the one that just opened the driver to linux? [17:18] BluesKaj: i think it's just an interface for wpa_supplicant. and since that is working right now i'm positiv wicd will, too [17:20] going to try it now. bye [17:20] atheros has always had linux drivers but they haven't given much support to the newer distros, urgen [17:21] who was it then? [17:21] some company just opened the driver [17:21] but that will probably only be new devices [17:22] hi is there a keyboard macro recorder for Kubuntu?

I found HandBrake for this purpose better but it takes up memory while running. How is trancode, have you used it?

[18:34] well for an example [18:34] i had this text file with 12000 lines of work [18:34] and i had to remove 2 spaces from the beginning of most of them [18:34] which i ended up doing manually [18:34] surunveri: look at the custom shorcuts under shorcuts and gesters in kde 4.5 (its called input actions in 4.4) [18:34] lines of text i mean [18:35] You want it to be recorded so that you can play it back when required so as to save time and labour.. [18:35] no for an example [18:35] i had to perform teh same operation 12000 tiems myself [18:35] while recording it and repeating it would've taken a lot less [18:35] it's pretty damn clear you need to repeat something it's easier with a macro progam isnt it? :D [18:36] besieds even if I was doing something lame like stealing my sister's email's password with it [18:36] it wouldnt be any of your business [18:36] and for the record it's not for that [18:36] im only person using my pc [18:36] and thx james [18:37] so can anyone here help with kubuntu 10.10 dvd install to a PC [18:38] surunveri: I would look into the editor called vim ... its a very very powerful command line editor that make it very easy to do a vast amount of things (including recording macros) but it isent the easiest program to learn to use.... (install 'vim' to get hte full version and run 'vimtutor' if you want to learn it) [18:38] surunveri: I guess there is no other purpose, then I can suggest a program for that [18:39] James147: A simple program can work for that as well, imo [18:39] hmm oh sresu lost connection [18:39] i didnt notice [18:39] Back! [18:39] while you wre gone i said [18:39] so can anyone here help with kubuntu 10.10 dvd install to a PC, please [18:39] that even if i was using it for something lame like stealing my sister's email's password with it, it wouldnt be any of your business, and for the record it's not for that, because i live aloen and im the only user of this pc [18:39] :D [18:40] but i'll try vim and the tutor thx [18:40] Ok. [18:40] surunveri: Would you like to have the program for it? [18:40] for what? [18:40] macro or keylogger? I dont need a keylogger, i need the macro program [18:40] sresu: it could... but if you frequently have to edit allot of lines in different ways but often doing the same thing over and over vim can help allot to get it done faster (once you have learnt how to use it) [18:41] surunveri: for simple (but repetitive) text manipulation, you can also try using regular expressions, which are supported by nearly every text editor [18:41] Yes that's what is my approach.. [18:42] James147: Yeah.. the if you say it would then vim is fine [18:42] *then === zonac is now known as sergiogc === _donvito is now known as Nertil === Nertil is now known as _donvito [18:49] would anyone here know how to get rid of the "This folder is empty." message that is appearing in folder view in KDE4.5.2?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:18] EliteHunters: what is the exact problem that you are facing?

[19:19] I'm dl'ing vmware to test the iso itself [19:20] !md5 [19:20] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:20] well it came from the kubuntu website [19:20] Checking the MD5 sum would be better. [19:20] did that [19:20] EliteHunters: It may have come from the official website. Doesn't mean that your copy is any good. [19:20] true [19:20] the ubuntu hash webpage differs from the kubuntu hash web page [19:21] Or that the burn to DVD is good. [19:21] The Ubuntu checksum is for Ubuntu images, not Kubuntu images. [19:22] but the Ubunte Hash webpage has some kubuntu hash listing for October 2010 [19:22] it's different on that webpage [19:22] for Kubuntu [19:22] but on the Kubuntu webpage [19:22] the Hash matches [19:22] You're only concerned with the single official MD5SUM for the specific image that you have. [19:23] well [19:23] it matches then [19:23] the hash is a match [19:23] Then take the MD5SUM from your burned DVD and check it against the official checksum. [19:24] how to that one [19:24] I have winMd5Sum installed [19:24] sudo md5sum if=/dev/dvd of=DVD.iso [19:24] I'm on Win 7 [19:25] Good luck then. :-) [19:25] how to check the dvd using the winMd5Sum program [19:26] Ask on a MS support forum, not here. [19:26] ok [19:26] EliteHunters: how did you verify the checksum of the iso file? [19:27] I used the winMd5Sum program [19:27] On the other hand, you could just burn another DVD from the iso image. [19:27] just right click on the file and click send to winMd%Sum [19:27] yes I could [19:28] but should I take the chance and do that and I lost another disc [19:28] Your choice. [19:28] and winMd5Sum calculate the hash [19:28] You could ask for a free CD from shipit. [19:28] !shipit [19:28] Shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send !Maverick (10.10) CDs [19:28] and I just copied the hash from the official webpage and compared it [19:28] EliteHunters: ok, though I have not used windows for some time now, what I would do is, just like right clicking on iso file, try right clicking on the dvd icon and see if there is the 'send to winMD%Sum' option [19:29] ok [19:29] trying that now [19:29] Nope [19:29] no send to options [19:30] hmm... [19:31] how about [19:32] I make an iso of the disc that the iso came from [19:32] and hash that [19:32] EliteHunters: why not? go ahead! try and let us know [19:32] and compare the one from the kubuntu website and the iso from the disc burnt [19:32] ok, cool [19:33] making image now [19:34] I'll give the report in a while === root is now known as Guest44535 [19:42] Dolphin hanging a lot lately.. and at times crashing [19:43] sresu_: dolphins are supposed to swim, right? ;) [19:43] geekosopher: Yeah.. I'm talking about the file manager, which you probably know :) Any idea about it? [19:45] sresu_: not at all, mine is working good. [19:45] geekosopher: Same is happening with OpenOffice at times.. [19:46] sresu_: anything in particular that you find doing when it happens? [19:46] start them from a terminal to catch any errors [19:46] geekosopher: Umm.. not really. Its happening at random now-a days. [19:46] moetunes: One sec.. [19:48] geekosopher [19:49] the MD5 hash is a match [19:49] official iso and burnt one [19:49] match for match [19:50] EliteHunters: okay... [19:51] So, now that it is known that the hash is a match from the iso's [19:51] EliteHunters: well, for one, I think you saved yourself the cost of a DVD :) [19:51] true [19:51] moetunes: geekosopher: CLI - http://pastebin.com/YrA3ud9u, - http://pastebin.com/m1sca9SB, Runs fine [19:52] sresu_: the cli dolphin link is blank :] [19:53] So, what should I do next then? [19:53] moetunes: geekosopher: CLI http://pastebin.com/jphEGi1t [19:55] EliteHunters: Burn the iso and try installing again. Hopefully you won't get errors now :) [19:55] So...one more shot then [19:55] lowest speed [19:55] any recommendations === brandon_ is now known as Cluster === Cluster is now known as Cluster_1 === Cluster_1 is now known as Cluster__1 [19:56] I*ve used .xmodmap to map the win key to F13 to be able to map it ti the start menu, but for some reason it made End stop working... [19:56] any one ever seen something like that? [19:56] moetunes: cli dolphin. Any errors in it? [19:57] sresu_: seems like you are having dbus errors for some reason [19:58] EliteHunters: I would also try 'check cd for defects' option when booting from cd [19:58] moetunes: dbus errors! What can cause that? [19:58] sresu_: is nepomuk turned off? [19:59] well the 1st disc wasn't going to that option [19:59] moetunes: Yes [20:00] vagastorm: use xev from terminal to check the keycodes [20:00] sresu_: see if it happens with nepomuk not running [20:00] moetunes: I have, the win key has code 113, end 115. gona log out and in to see what happens [20:00] sresu_: I never use it. Its always disabled [20:01] do you think its a good idea to mount the image of kubuntu in VMWare and check to see if it will install in that? [20:01] and then burn the disc afterwards [20:02] to ensure it's not a corrupted iso file [20:02] sresu_: line 3 from that link suggests nepomuk might be the cause - either 'cause it is running or 'cause it is not... [20:02] EliteHunters: good idea indeed [20:03] * geekosopher is going to crash (on the bed that is) [20:03] EliteHunters: Yes, you can try that and check for defects there as well. If the installation goes fine and no installation media defect, most likely you won't find problems [20:04] moetunes: Ya, inital lines say about that about related to .service files. But not able to link it well.. [20:04] *initial [20:05] after upgrade to maverick all the kmixer controls are gone, only main ones left - any idea how to adjust the separate channels? [20:07] sresu_: Any other soluition you think can be tried out? [20:07] Argg [20:07] moetunes: : Any other soluition you think can be tried out? [20:09] sresu_: none come to mind [20:09] moetunes: Umm.. thanks for considering it. Thanks [20:10] sresu_: keep starting it from terminal - you might catch a "better" error... [20:13] moetunes: Probably not, yes I'll see. But still even when nepomuk is disabled, how can that cause problem. I checked it. Does dBus error points out any particular thread? KDE4 started using dbus, it was dcop before, any problem could have occurred due to upgrade? [20:14] sresu_: I wouldn't think so - you could try an update/upgrade to see if something was missed [20:15] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [20:15] does somebody can help me improving my audio output? do compiling motboard driver gonna enchance sounds quality? [20:16] moetunes: Its fine as well. Is it possible to find out which particular thread is being used during communication? [20:21] sresu_: that I wouldn't know [20:22] moetunes: I'll see what you suggested anyways. Thanks [20:24] Hello, does anyone know how to use the mouse wheel?

[20:27] exactly it doesn't work in VLC Player [20:29] ah, VLC, I don't know what the mouse is supposed to do there and I'm on my notebook currently, sorry [20:30] volume up and down [20:34] yofel: You can place the cursor on the volume icon and scroll upwards, in VLC.

Then placing the cursor on the volume icon, scroll upwards. After 200% it will increase more, Do you see any change? [20:40] Daniela234: If you play any video file, you will notice quickly [20:40] It shows the volume% till 400 [20:41] it works only when I move the cursor to the volume icon [20:41] but it won't work in full screen [20:42] Yes. Did the volume reach 400%. It works even in full screen. The hidden controls shows volume icon where you have to repeat the same procedure [20:43] I can not hear any change volume when I play a video file === thiago is now known as Guest41695 === Guest41695 is now known as thiago_ [20:44] Daniela234: What I meant was it pops up Volume% during volume playback when scrolling till 400% [20:44] *video playback [20:45] I can not reach the 400$ limit [20:45] 400% ops [20:47] Daniela234: VLC media player version? [20:47] Daniela234: Goldeneye? [20:47] correct :-) [20:47] 1.0.6 [20:48] Daniela234: In preferences, for Audio tab under General Audio, have you scrolled default volume to 400%? [20:49] hi [20:49] yes, I did [20:50] hi, i just installed kubuntu after using ubuntu for awhile. im having trouble finding all the software to install. where's synaptic? i need some games [20:50] ubuntu software center seemed to have more [20:51] How do I install ksensors in 10.10 -or- what is the replacement package? [20:51] Daniela234: Save and close and restart VLC and try again.. [20:51] cylob: synaptic is not used in kubuntu - there's kpackagekit for the same job [20:51] http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/maverick/i386/ksensors "Package not available in this suite." [20:51] !find sensors [20:51] i wish kpackagekit had a directory so i could browse my game genre [20:51] Found: libsensors4, libsensors4-dev, lm-sensors, libsensors-applet-plugin-dev, libsensors-applet-plugin0, libsensors-dev, libsensors3, opendrim-lmp-sensors, sensors-applet, wmsensors (and 4 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sensors&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [20:52] I would like to change the volume by mouse wheel. After restarting VLC my sister woke up... [20:52] it really should be a kde program to live in the kde tray [20:52] in fact, does kpackagekit have any browsing at all? you have to know what you want to install anything [20:53] Daniela234: No, that was only initail setting required. Now, you should be able to change volume using mouse wheel from 0-400% [20:54] cylob: kpk does sort by sections a bit (what release do you use?) if you need a synaptic like package manager there's muon (maverick) [20:54] cylob: Yes, but the latest with maverick is better [20:54] 10.10 [20:54] else muon [20:54] I am so sorry but it doesn't work [20:54] what's better than muon? kpk? [20:54] yofel: how do i look at the games in kpk [20:55] oh wait [20:55] im an idiot [20:55] nm [20:55] Daniela234: It works here.. I'm not able to understand that. Probably I didn't word it properly.. [20:55] cylob: kpk is the default package manager - muon is a bit more advanced and technical if you need that [20:56] Daniela234: Sorry, no other method comes to mind for scrolling volume using mouse wheel [20:56] duuno, I am not a profassiol user of linux [20:56] i gotta say, i think kubuntu is faster than ubuntu [20:59] Daniela234: All are volunteers here, you may try asking in vlc channel. I don't know the channel name for it, probably #vlc. If someone knows the solution, you would get reply. [21:05] hi how do I report a bug? basically the suspend function is totally unusable [21:06] !bugs [21:06] 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 [21:07] moetunes, which package is the one for suspend? [21:07] alesan: I don't know for sure - maybe Xorg [21:08] alesan: where does it fail? [21:08] alesan: you can browse launchpad to see what others have written about suspend probs [21:09] yofel, I select suspend to ram from the K menu [21:09] alesan: I mean, does it fail on suspend? on resume? how does it fail? [21:09] the screen goes in character mode, the little LED that means "suspend" on my laptop blinks, and it stays there [21:09] so the screen and the cpu, hdd will stay ON [21:10] and the laptop will overheat if I put it away in that state, and the battery drain in few hours === 30BAADW4H is now known as TNZfr [21:10] the only thing is to keep pressed the power button until it shutdowns but this is equivalent to an abrupt power OFF [21:11] alesan: sounds like a kernel problem to me - file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug linux' and see if you can add some more information with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume#Debugging%20Suspend [21:11] yofel, is it clear, what happens? === avihay_ is now known as avihay [21:29] so this "launchpad" site wants me to create a password with at least a number and an uppercase letter [21:29] is there a way to circumvent this? [21:30] how do i resize a widget??? === sheytan_ is now known as sheytan [21:32] sresu_ [21:32] EliteHunters: Yes? [21:32] the vmware cleared the dvd in my drive and loading unto vmware [21:32] cylob: when you hover over a widget a panel will appear with a resize button (if the widgets are unlocked) [21:32] it's actually installing of the dvd [21:33] ahhh ok you gotta click and hold it [21:33] but not from the dvd to the PC [21:33] cylob: for more help on plasma see http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma [21:33] thnx [21:34] DVD (in Drive) --> PC --> Not Installing [21:34] DVD (in Drive) --> VMWare --> Installing [21:34] advice anyone [21:34] EliteHunters: Not able to undersrand that. What happened when trying to install on HDD? [21:34] Not the drive as far as I can see [21:35] well here's the down low on this system [21:35] dell 4600 [21:35] win 7 [21:35] wanna kick out 7 and put kubuntu [21:35] and thus far [21:35] it's not installing kubuntu from the dvd [21:36] EliteHunters: What happened when you restarted system with dvd in the tray? Did the installer showed up? [21:36] failed step: Load installer component from CD [21:36] that's what I got [21:36] failed step: Load installer component from CD [21:36] EliteHunters: Is that the same error you got before? [21:36] yes [21:36] but not in VM [21:36] VM is still going strong with the installation [21:37] (Installing the base system) [21:37] EliteHunters: You have the iso file right? Have you tried LiveUSB installation? [21:37] can't boot of USB in this Dell 4600 [21:37] EliteHunters: Do you get the same error with all the installation methods? [21:37] Ah-ok [21:37] have to go for CD/DVD Install [21:38] and thus far [21:38] the VM is boot and installing of the DVD which was burned from the iso and in the drive [21:38] the same drive that the installation was not doing too [21:39] basically the disc in dvd drive running and installing on VM [21:39] but not to the PC [21:39] EliteHunters: Is the DMA mode ON? its required with some DVD.. [21:40] you mean DMA on my actually physical dvd drive? [21:40] Yes [21:40] hmmmmm [21:40] would that make a difference [21:40] cause it's installing the OS from the DVD drive into VMWare [21:41] how would it make a difference from installing onto the actual HDD [21:41] I think so.. Try it <-d 1 /dev/hda1> to switch on the DMA. In some dvd drives this is required to work with the linux driver [21:41] does dropbox not work with kde? [21:42] <-d 1 /dev/hda1> in expert mode [21:42] well you got to advise me from a windows perspective since I'm running 7 [21:42] cause.....I wanna wipe 7 from the system [21:42] right now...7 is the only OS on the system [21:43] EliteHunters: If you can try installing via wubi and give me installation log. That would probably help.. [21:43] No.. wait [21:43] ok [21:44] EliteHunters: No, need not try wubi installation [21:44] ok [21:44] EliteHunters: When do you get the error specifically? [21:44] when I get to the:- [21:45] Load installer component from CD [21:47] that's where I get the error [21:48] EliteHunters: Hold on, I'm repeating the installation procedure here. I'm installing directly w/o trying Kubuntu.. I'm on Welcome screen now [21:48] ok [21:48] EliteHunters: What did you do after the Welcome screen? [21:50] install kubuntu in text mode [21:50] EliteHunters: By default a English language must be selected and giving you options for Quit, Forward right? Did you get this screen? [21:50] EliteHunters: Alright. Hold on [21:50] ok === Sir_Konrad_ is now known as Sir_Konrad [21:51] EliteHunters: You tried only the text mode? [21:51] no [21:51] Then? [21:51] starting the kubuntu in live mode [21:51] gave me this:- [21:52] Okay, the very initialisation of ever option gives that same error? [21:52] *every [21:53] initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error [21:53] can not mount / [21:53] no [21:53] j [21:54] I get the above in live mode [21:56] EliteHunters: You are completely sure about md5sum, right? === administrator is now known as Guest38356 [21:56] yes [21:56] sure [21:56] match for match [21:58] EliteHunters: And the check installation media? It gave the same error? [21:59] ok, fresh Kubuntu install, installed latest nVidia driver, and now the Kubuntu bootscreen is low res. What to do? [22:00] hi, I'm having problems with the touchpad of a HP 4520s. Multitouch doesn't work, and the buttons are under the touchpad, which is just plain stupid [22:00] EliteHunters: Can you try using CD with external CD drive with power cable? [22:00] here's some topic on my problem: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-HP-Compaq-Armada-EVO/Hp-4520s-touchpad-issue-please-help/m-p/1160472 [22:00] well I don't have one [22:01] EliteHunters: You used a DVD right? not CD.. [22:01] yeah same problem for check installation media [22:01] Load installer component from CD [22:01] failed [22:01] yes [22:02] DVD [22:02] EliteHunters: And you are sure that there are no problems with DVD drive? [22:02] yep [22:02] cause it installed kubuntu on VMware [22:03] EliteHunters: How did you check the md5sum? [22:03] and the disc is out of the drive [22:03] winmd5Sum [22:04] EliteHunters: You are trying it on notebook or desktop? [22:05] desktop [22:05] EliteHunters: If notebook/laptop, give me the model to check hardware compatabilities [22:05] Okay [22:05] desktop [22:05] Dell 4600 [22:05] ide DVD drive [22:08] EliteHunters: 64 bit? [22:10] 32 [22:10] 32bit processor [22:12] EliteHunters: Did you try the DVD on different system?> [22:13] No I haven't [22:14] just the Dell 4600 [22:14] don't really wanna try the install on the laptop here [22:14] I could try the live mode [22:17] EliteHunters: Yes, please try live mode [22:17] and report back === help is now known as Guest23429 === administrator is now known as Guest82479 [22:19] 'q [22:19] эй === Guest23429 is now known as EliteHunters [22:20] * roshanavand saying HI to all [22:20] yeah sorry about that [22:20] how can I view hidden files in kubuntu? [22:20] disconnected [22:20] does anyone have experience with synaptics touchpads? [22:21] roshanavand: in dolphin, view->show hidden files [22:21] or Alt+. [22:21] sresu_ any other possible idea or solution [22:22] spirov92: thanks... [22:22] so, the touchpad is supposed to have multitouch, but I can't get it to work. Any ideas? [22:23] EliteHunters: Did you try LiveCD on laptop? It will not affect your laptop.. [22:23] I haven't [22:23] I'll give it a try now [22:25] sresu_ [22:26] it's booting off the laptop [22:26] Yes? [22:26] yes [22:26] I'm at the GUI [22:26] EliteHunters: I mean whats happenning? [22:26] waiting to go into the KDE desktop mode [22:27] EliteHunters: Okay.. good [22:27] well it's at the kubuntu loading screen [22:27] EliteHunters: Loaded the desktop? [22:29] at the installation process screen [22:29] try or install [22:30] that's the choices [22:30] try for live [22:30] just to check [22:31] Check the installation media first. [22:31] would that imply doing an install on the laptop [22:33] No. Check for defects, Install without affecting the system will not affect your system HDD. Only Install Kubuntu option affects HDD. Check CD for defects will check the installation media [22:33] so reboot [22:33] and try the install kubuntu from text mode [22:33] No! [22:34] so [22:34] install from the live desktop mode [22:34] EliteHunters: I said to to choose Check for defects option. What all options do you see? [22:34] Ohh Sorry [22:35] I started it into live option [22:35] If I'm right you are on laptop, you don't want it to be affected. [22:35] correct [22:35] Yes, go on with the live option then [22:36] lol [22:36] already exited [22:36] hmmmmm [22:36] alright [22:36] heading back in [22:36] rebooting [22:37] And sorry.. correction I said install w/o affecting the system. Its option [22:37] checking disc for defects [22:37] Yeah [22:37] checking now [22:37] integrity [22:38] Ok, I'm having a problem with my cursor jumping around a LOT on Kubuntu 10.04. I have a trackpad, and it happens when I type. Any way to fix this? [22:40] EliteHunters: What does it say? "Check finished: no errors found. Press any key to reboot your system" ?? [22:40] almost completed [22:40] EliteHunters: Okay. [22:41] EliteHunters: Architecture of laptop system? [22:41] Compaq 610 [22:41] EliteHunters: Is that same as your desktop and for the DVD you installed, i386? [22:42] the DVD is the same [22:42] the disc is the same [22:42] EliteHunters: Processor? [22:42] 1386 [22:42] nah [22:42] the desktop [22:42] P4 [22:42] I'm not able to unserstand why its taking time [22:42] ok fine [22:43] the laptop has a intel celeron [22:43] Oh.. fine [22:43] and 2 GB RAM [22:44] hi... can someone tell me how i can get kubuntu not to switch my monitor off after ten minutes... i have to move my mouse every five or so minutes while im watching something... [22:44] 10.10 [22:45] anoneemouse: System Settings>Hardware>Display & Monitor> Screensaver [22:47] tried that already... it's set to 60 minutes... but the monitor switches off way before that. i never get to even see the screensaver [22:47] long cheack [22:47] *check [22:47] how to sync kmail with gmail? when I remove a message from local inbox it's not remed from the server ... [22:47] removed* [22:48] anoneemouse: Power Management [22:48] EliteHunters: Any error? [22:48] and the VM is still installing necessary files [22:48] DONE [22:48] hi [22:48] any key to reboot [22:48] we're good [22:48] EliteHunters: Wait [22:48] i tried that too. i set everything to 120 minutes... no luck [22:48] any guide for kubuntu? [22:48] ok [22:49] fine [22:49] EliteHunters: Fine, so there was no error, right? [22:49] nope [22:49] none [22:49] none at all [22:49] sresu_: i actually created a power profile... but it doesn't seem to have any effect whatsoever [22:49] disc is good [22:49] EliteHunters: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:49] speak to me [22:50] vasilis: http://www.kubuntu.org/support [22:50] ok [22:50] EliteHunters: You mentioned that it rebooted by itself whrn trying Kubuntu without affecting the system. Right? [22:50] correct [22:50] anoneemouse: Sorry, then. No other option come to mind [22:50] EliteHunters: When did that happen? [22:51] that is when I went into Start Kubuntu and chose Try instead of Install [22:51] dont see any manual there [22:51] how to sync kmail with gmail? when I remove a message from local inbox it's not remed from the server ... [22:51] EliteHunters: So what happened after choosing that option? [22:51] It went into Live Mode [22:51] Then? [22:51] well "Try" Live Mode [22:51] then the GUI loaded [22:52] What was on display? [22:52] and I had the KDE desktop in front of my eyes [22:52] anoneemouse: did you try to switch to presentation mode in the battery applet? [22:52] oh yes,, check that thing as well [22:52] HmpfCBR: :) [22:52] lol [22:53] HmpfCBR: I one upped it and created my own profile with even longer waits... doesn't work [22:53] EliteHunters: Then? [22:53] HmpfCBR: presentation mode didn't work either [22:53] well in KDE Mode [22:53] it was like normal [22:53] just like how it normally looked in beta testing [22:53] EliteHunters: When did it rebooted by itslelf suddenly? [22:53] it didn't [22:53] I did that to get back into boot mode [22:53] how can i find games in kubuntu? [22:54] EliteHunters: But you said that before.. [22:54] to check the disc [22:54] Ok [22:54] then I apologize [22:54] so, with the laptop...we're good [22:55] anoneemouse: strange, for me presentation mode + disabling screen saver did the trick. [22:55] it's just the desktop section to get pass [22:55] HmpfCBR: Its as if wherever it has to set it doesnt happen... which graphics card do you have? [22:55] EliteHunters: So, there is no problem with the dick for sure. And we don't need DMA things to be ON. Its still wierd the way we tested it. But the desktop doesn't help at all [22:56] from the laptop side [22:56] all is well [22:56] it's getting it to install unto the desktop [22:56] HmpfCBR: As far as I remember, it used to work for me. that trick [22:57] sresu_: Im not using a laptop either... so most of the other powerdevil settings are disabled [22:57] Now.....I have ran backtrack 3 in live mode on this desktop before [22:57] and that worked fine [22:57] anoneemouse: intel and nvidia (nvidia drivers), did not test the nvidia with noveau drivers or the ati card yet [22:58] HmpfCBR: it looks like kde thinks im running off a battery... even though its not a laptop, because it looks like its using powesave mode [22:58] hello [22:59] EliteHunters: Still its really strange. (Sorry *disk/disc). And the hardware compatibilty issues with your desktop dvd drive is not checked still. But you say it works fine. I would request you to try external CD drive with power cable for it as last option with CD image burnt [23:00] hmmm [23:00] ok, I can try that [23:00] just gotta get one [23:00] sresu_: Nothing more I can say now. [23:00] anoneemouse: when you go to power managmenet settings and check capabilities, does it display batteries? in its general settings you can define under what conditions which profile should be used [23:00] EliteHunters: Or borrow one [23:01] is it a motherboard problem [23:01] it can't be the dvd drive [23:01] EliteHunters: Which motherboard? ASUS? [23:01] how would that explain installation into VMWare [23:01] EliteHunters: Have you cleaned the RAM? [23:01] HmpfCBR: nope bateries are not suppoerted... so i cant change the settings... but ive changed the powerdevilrc file in .kde manually now to use the long waiting profile for all modes... going to see if that works [23:01] it's a DELL desktop [23:01] EliteHunters: if you have a 1gig usb stick and your machine supports usb boot try that one [23:01] EliteHunters: No, don't try to link virtual environment with that. Thats different [23:02] no USB support [23:02] HmpfCBR: No, he doesn't have that [23:02] now im going to eat and hopefully watch some uninterrupted house [23:02] thanks HmpfCBR and sresu_ [23:02] anoneemouse: have fun and good luck :) [23:02] so you saying installing into VM with a disc in the physical drive isn't the same as installing into a physical HDD [23:03] anyone have a good article for installing an nvidia driver for gtx 480 [23:03] Hi, can anyone tell me how to get skype/pulse audio working with with a USB microphone? (Maverick) [23:04] EliteHunters: I mean its good that you tested it, but you cannot expect to be sure of hardware components virtually created by virtualbox to be same with actual harware [23:04] ok [23:04] EliteHunters: and I suppose its at the hardware level now [23:04] possibly [23:04] EliteHunters: You got to check your DVD drive first. [23:05] make sense [23:05] EliteHunters: Else, change the RAM and clean it. Check connectivity of HDD and motherboard. [23:05] EliteHunters: Check connectivity of DVD drive and power cables etc [23:06] EliteHunters: Start with DVD drive [23:06] well I assume the drive is working [23:06] EliteHunters: That's all I can say. How old is your system? [23:06] anoneemouse: Welcome [23:06] cause I placed the kubuntu disc into the drive to install it on VMWare which is installed on the same desktop [23:07] I'd say 7 years [23:07] EliteHunters: You got to check connectivity, clean it and the RAM as well [23:08] HmpfCBR: Any other installation method you know? [23:08] EliteHunters: You didn't say the motherboard, whats its make? [23:08] well, the connectivity checked out [23:08] cables in [23:08] tighten [23:08] all good [23:08] well usb (worked for every machine for me till now), sd-card (on some machines), cd drive, net install [23:08] can't really say [23:08] but net install I never tried [23:08] HmpfCBR: Network install.. yeah [23:09] HmpfCBR: Umm.. [23:09] it's a DELL 4600 model [23:09] can't say off the bat [23:09] Okay. [23:09] should be an Intel board [23:09] well googling tells it is probably not working [23:10] HmpfCBR: What's not working? [23:10] I wouldn't doubt that [23:10] usb boot [23:10] well USB booting is not in the boot options [23:10] that I can tell you [23:10] in bios or boot medium chooser (f12) ? [23:11] BIOS === root is now known as Guest28793 [23:11] hm [23:11] and boot doesn't give you the option with a USB stick jacked in [23:11] on my netbook a sd card is recognized as a hard disk in bios [23:11] so I need to change the harddisk order to boot from sd card [23:11] maybe worth a try [23:12] I don't think so [23:12] another option is to take a HDD place it in an enclouser [23:12] install from another PC [23:12] EliteHunters: Have you tried another HDD? [23:12] No [23:12] and switch in back in [23:12] NO [23:12] haven't tried another HDD [23:12] don't have another here [23:13] EliteHunters: The method which you saying doesn't work normally [23:13] EliteHunters: you try to boot from cd or dvd? [23:13] correct [23:13] you see the fuuny thing about this is that [23:13] EliteHunters: which? cd or dvd? [23:13] backtrack 3 worked from a live cd [23:13] and this doesn't [23:13] DVD [23:13] that are often two different lasers in a drive [23:14] so you could try a cd [23:14] Yes, I alerady sugggested that to him [23:14] EliteHunters: Again, check the hardware and report back [23:14] what are the options for a network install [23:15] from the laptop to the desktop [23:17] can your desktop boot via pxe? [23:18] there should be documentation for pxe network installs on ubuntu.com [23:18] I'll check it out [23:19] EliteHunters: You want to try this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet ? [23:20] opening the link now [23:25] it could be the system itself [23:25] cause I'm trying to boot it off the PC [23:25] and the "Start Kubuntu" doesn't even load it's GUI [23:26] just a black screen with the text [23:27] BusyBox v1.15.3 (ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) [23:27] Enter "help" for a list of built in commands [23:35] sresu_ is there the possibility that the DVD doesn't allow to a certain extent the installion on the system or a older system [23:37] cause I'm at the kubuntu menu on the disc in boot mode [23:37] and there are the additional options [23:37] help [23:37] language [23:37] keymap [23:37] modes [23:37] EliteHunters: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:37] accessibility and other options [23:39] what do you this sresu_ [23:40] is there like particular options on the disc to check for the installation on the PC [23:46] how do I manually run the security-update thingie? [23:46] just to update the patches, etc. [23:48] RadSurfer: go to system settings....system administration... software management...updates on the left [23:49] there is not label 'system administration' [23:50] look for software management [23:50] it should be there somewhere [23:50] RadSurfer: You can also hit F2 and type update into krunner [23:50] there is no 'software management' either [23:51] Ok. "Software Updates" can be found using that Search. Thanks. [23:51] RadSurfer: sorry that should have been alt+f2 [23:52] How would I run that manually, however [23:52] was my question! [23:53] That application is currently running 'software update', how do I find what to type in a Terminal to run it? [23:53] what do you mean by manually? [23:53] ah ok [23:53] aptitude or apt-get what do you prefer? [23:53] I hate how "krunner" does NOT provide you with the run-string :( [23:53] I use apt-get [23:53] than it is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:54] NO! [23:54] wrong. [23:54] I am not attempting to upgrade the OS [23:54] I only want the patches! [23:54] ie. not trying to change from 10.04 to 10.10 [23:54] I just want the normal upgrades [23:54] that will not happen with that command [23:54] Hmm. [23:55] Is there an article on this? [23:55] which language? [23:55] English. [23:56] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/apt-get-question-dist-upgrade-vs-upgrade-219920/ [23:56] Thank you. [23:56] the reason not to use just upgrade is, that it may happen, that you get uncomplete upgrade this way, because for a complete upgrade additional packages are needed. not normal but can happen here and there [23:58] interesting how I never did "the" answer to my original question. [23:59] What application, by name, is launched by Terminal to run 'software updates', but I may try running that string all together :)
