[00:00] I do not know, there was for some time some home brewn python script, but that caused a lot of trouble and was ditched, if I recall correctly. Now all goes via kpackagekit I think. [00:01] RadSurfer: software updates are now built into kpackagekit... [00:01] any chance i could get some help trying to install nvidia driver? [00:01] the updates always just launched a part of kpackagekit anyway iirc [00:01] Seipher: look for a driver in apt [00:02] aptitude? [00:02] i used to install the driver manually but it would break everytime my kernel upgraded [00:02] packagekit [00:02] Seipher: or you go to KMenu -> Applications -> System -> Additional Drivers [00:02] if you dont find one you might find a ppa that you can add on launchpad [00:03] i went to nvidias site [00:03] there is a linux driver there... but it says to use the systems if its available [00:04] Seipher: what driver does your model use [00:04] if its a new card you can just install nvidia-current [00:04] anoneemouse: normally jockey detects that by itself [00:05] jockey... [00:05] * anoneemouse shudders [00:05] yah [00:05] that thing bit me in 9.10 [00:05] it uses version 260.19.12 [00:05] its the newest nvidia card available [00:05] i just did the applications add hardware devices or whatever [00:05] sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [00:06] gonna restart [00:06] hmm [00:07] kk brb in a few thanks [00:12] woot [00:12] worked [00:12] thanks [00:13] now to get my 2nd monitor configured [00:32] Howdy, y'all. Has anyone else been havin' problems with applications crashing/segfaulting with malloc/memory corruption errors since upgrading to Maverick? [00:34] nope... all fine and dandy here [00:35] Hmmm... I'm havin' troubles getting Blender game engine, XBMC, and Boxee to run since upgrading to Maverick. [00:35] Possibly other software, but those are the ones I've found thus far. [00:37] i have boxee installed... let me see if mine works [00:41] hmmm [00:41] it didnt run [00:41] let me try it from konsole [00:42] Sup [00:43] TSK: I get another error: /opt/boxee/Boxee: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:43] Snyone know anything about setting up kubuntu so my 360 can see my media files?? [00:43] osiristhevirus: get a ps3 :D [00:44] I just sold my ps3 I didnt like it [00:44] ps3 supports standard media streaming... [00:44] i dont know about 360 [00:44] the 360 does too [00:45] But in windows I used umm tversity [00:45] or WMP [00:45] yeah... i was just going to say tversity [00:45] im sure there is a linux equivalent [00:45] anoneemouse: Aye. My Boxee bombs out brutally, too. Am in chat with the XBMC devs right now about the crash in XBMC. Probably related. :) [00:45] but they dont have tversity for linux lol ive been looking around for a few days now. [00:47] osiristhevirus: try looking here: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-linux-news/dlna-media-server-linux-ps3-streaming-76584.html [00:47] your looking for a dlna streaming app for linux [00:49] yeah ive been trying to figure out how to get mediatomb to work lol [00:49] apparently it needs a multicast address on the network [00:50] on your linux box even [00:50] Yeah.. This is well above my head lol [00:50] LoL. I guess I shoulda dual booted *laugh* [00:51] i dont know if this would work at all... but what about running tversity through wine [00:51] its a long shot... but who knoes [00:51] *knows [00:51] Hmmm [01:01] does kubuntu support dual monitors even [01:03] I need to know how to tweak via Terminal the screen display size! Kubuntu FAILS to set the proper screen size [01:18] I need to know how to tweak via Terminal the screen display size! Kubuntu FAILS to set the proper screen size [01:18] something about "manually saving a session", but all I see is a checkbox to re-call that [01:19] y a t'il du français dans le coin ?

[01:19] ok dsl je savais pas [01:22] I winz! [01:22] Moving a working kubuntu system from one hard drive to another using tar, it works! [01:22] woots [01:32] ie. it worked this time. [01:32] Wish Kubuntu had good sense to REMEMBER display settings. === _Nertil is now known as Nertil [01:35] does ANYONE know what to edit to get Kubuntu to use PROPER display settings? Used to Xorg.conf or somesuch [01:35] do you have a nvidia card? [01:36] Not sure what it is; but on TWO different boxes I have the exact IDENTICAL problem: Screen Size is NOT remembered [01:36] apparently, LOTS of people complain about same issue in (K)ubuntu [01:36] Surely, there must be a file that can be hand-edited to FIX this! [01:37] what stupid idiot thought to have Screen settings always use MAXIMUM resolution anyway! [01:37] hello :> i'm having an unusual problem with dosbox in kde (maverick) that i didn't have with gnome...occasionally when started the mouse will no longer move at all, and i need to both log out _and_ restart the x server to get it to work again :< has anyone else seen that? [01:37] yelling is probably not the best way to... oh just nevermind, insulting people wont help, you know [01:38] It is the only worse problem I have yet to solve. :-) [01:38] there is an X11 directory. [01:38] Sure something in there must reflect what must be "tweaked" [01:39] since I have 2 boxes, I can experiment on 1 [01:39] Do you even know what type of graphic processor you have? [01:40] there must be a terminal utility I can run that would help ID it. [01:40] It's an old box; no telling whats in there. [01:40] works fine. provided I _manually_ set resolution @ each boot. [01:41] was nice when you could just edit Xorg.conf or whatever it was [01:42] try #sudo lshw -c video [01:42] why wouldn't it REMEMBER system-settings in the first place anyway? valid ques. [01:42] this should list the type of graphic card you have [01:43] output --> product: NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] [01:43] Ah! [01:43] great [01:43] have you installed the nvidia drivers? [01:43] Nope. [01:43] why not? [01:43] Scary stuff for us novices :-) [01:43] nah [01:43] you have kubuntu 10.04? [01:44] Yes. [01:44] 10.10 doesn't like my old box apparently. [01:44] go to Applications > System > Additional Drivers [01:44] say what dude? [01:45] in the system menu... like window's start menu [01:45] "applications"? [01:45] I don't think we're on same page yet. [01:45] I'm sorry. [01:45] it's the second tabs in the menu, no? [01:46] Ok I see now. [01:46] =) [01:46] that last item does not exist here. 'Additional Drivers' [01:46] =O [01:46] Application -> System, has not 'A' items [01:47] it might be hidden somewhere else in the application tab... this menu is a mess [01:47] 1st item starts with 'D' [01:47] it could be under Settings [01:47] or Utilities [01:47] you're guessing. but thats for trying. [01:47] oh and btw, apps are not always listed by name [01:47] might be hiden lower in the list [01:47] utility does not deal with Hardware issues [01:48] ahah! [01:48] typing "drivers" into search box says "Hardware Drivers" <-- helps to recognize that [01:49] Ok, thats running. :) [01:50] "graphics drivers version 96" recommended/not activated. [01:50] yay! [01:50] is there only one? [01:50] only 1 listed,yes. Thank you for being patient. [01:50] =) [01:50] activate it [01:50] Gulp. [01:50] it should install Nvidia's drivers [01:50] it's all automatic =P [01:50] Not right now. I know how to find this. [01:51] I will do smart thing: backup critical things, then consider running this. [01:51] me thinks, I will perform this operation on my #2 box first, to learn what to expect. [01:51] just a moment. [01:52] well, once this is installed, you should then have a application named "nvidia x server settings" or something similar in your Settings menu [01:52] this application is just like Nvidia driver settings in windows; it writes the right settings where they should [01:54] KimLaRoux: http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/7125/nvidiadriver.png [01:54] dah-ta :-) [01:55] me go see if this ruins #2 box now. [01:57] Hmmm. Box #2 has that dialog box: _empty_. Well pooh. [01:58] that sucks [01:58] I still hate to think that Ku can't remember my screen size! only major issue I have now. [01:58] have you tried #sudo lshw -c video? [01:58] I got filesharing to work between both boxes, and everything! [01:58] on #2 yet? no [01:01] KimLaRoux: Box2 says: product: 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) [01:01] eh [01:01] that's old [01:02] obviously why 10.10 barfs. Yet 10.04 has little problems by comparison. [01:02] 10.10 is still young [01:02] also, thats da integrated motherboard video obviously [01:02] I too have a few problems with it [01:03] I'd love to have a modern PC, but can't afford one. [01:03] We make do, you know. :-) [01:09] hey anybody know how i can allow access to a truecrypt mounted disk to another user ? [01:10] following problem I run kubuntu (user1) it has the mythtv backend running [01:10] give it the key?
