Cato37i installed a lexmark driver from disk that had a selection for debian based packages, and it messed the startup at login, changed a bunch of permissions, and tries to run the "bus". how do i unistall the stupid thing and undo all the changes that it made to the system?04:28
Balsaqgood morning Lords of the Code...04:34
Cato37is there anyway to undo the damage that a lexmark driver for a s506 printer did when i used the debian/ubuntu driver?04:39
Cato37the driver did04:40
Cato37or do i need to reinstall kubuntu?04:41
urgeninteresting question cato04:47
urgenso the disk had a .deb file?04:47
Cato37 yeah. it did. sorry i was downstairs. the disk had .gz tar04:52
Cato37it ask for root priviliges and then did a lot of stuff. now when i boot up it takes 2x as long and the startup process prings about 15 errorsw.04:53
Cato37i get a kickoff launcher, and a failed file report that lists what printers are on my network.04:54

bazhang!fstab | westyvw06:04
ubottuwestyvw: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions06:04
bazhangyou parted before I could answer06:04
westyvwok so i have to hand edit fstab? i can do that. shame it isnt a setting.06:04
westyvwi did make the change in KDE but have to enter a password still before mount06:06
bazhangTo mount all file systems in /etc/fstab, run: sudo mount -a06:06
westyvwanythoughts on the cpu clocking mechanism?06:07
westyvwin the old days, you would see a cpu folder in proc, this would list the powermanagement settings of the processor. it was possible to echo a new high value so you would have the full cpu range06:11
westyvwsomewhere it is reading what the cpu is reporting and holding it to that speed06:11
westyvwfrustrating because my cpu is a late revision which means it is underclocked by the manufactoror. So i lose about 600mhz06:12
bazhangno experience with that, westyvw ; did you see how to mount in /etc/fstab pasted from the link I sent you above?06:12

dmattanybody with the same problem?13:31
moetunesI haven't heard anyone mention that here13:32
dmattfirst I thought it is because od 4.5.2 ppa, but happened on clean install as well13:33
dmattmaybe it is somehow connected to localisation files13:33
dmattI even tried install from alternate medium13:34
moetunesfirst thought is a bad cd burn...13:34
dmattand checking memory...13:34
moetunesyep13:34
dmatteverything tested already13:34
dmattnormal medium failed to finish install13:35
moetunesdid you do the cd check from the cd menu?13:35
dmattwith alternative i did it already two times and still having problems13:35
dmatti think i did... i do it one more time to be safe...13:36
moetunesyou could try in konsole   sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt13:36
sresu_Thinking of upgrading to Maverick than sticking to LTS.. Should I?13:37
moetunessresu_:  it is your choice - I prefer the lts personally13:38
dmattmoetunes: funny i do not have any problems on 64... but it is on different notebook13:38
sresu_during a release kubuntu and ubuntu dont upgrade major version numbers (ie lucid will never offically support kde 4.5... you can only get that though comuntiy ppas), right13:38
sresu_lucid is highly unlikly to get kde 4.6 when it come out (or ever) where as maverick in all likly hood will..13:38
moetunesthere'll be a backport for it I'm sure sresu_13:39
sresu_But ppa I don't prefer to use..13:39
moetunesdmatt:  I would be suprised if diff h/ware had an affect on apt tho...13:39
sresu_You got KDE 4.5.1, moetunes?13:39
moetunessresu_:  sounds like your mind is set on moving to maverick then :)13:40
sresu_moetunes: No, still not able to decide. I was with mind set to stick with lts alone.. Now confused13:41
dmattmoetunes: maybe apt is failing becasue kpackagekit failed before and left mess... and I suspect it has something to do with my hardware13:41
sresu_moetunes: Setting upgrade settings to LTS will prompt me of next LTS and get me directly to the newest, so upgrading won't be much of a issue. With that, one may not experiance the latest warez..13:43
moetunessresu_:  there's no reason to decide just yet13:43
sresu_moetunes: So, what do you say?13:44
moetunesdmatt:  there's the memory checker in the live cds' menu - would that give a clue?13:44
moetunessresu_:  if you are in two minds I would suggest waiting for a reason to prompt you13:45
dmattmoetunes: I already did that, no memory problem13:45
moetunesdmatt:  if it's not the cd and not the memory that leaves read/writes to the hdd then afaik13:47
dmattmoetunes: how do i check that?13:48
moetunesdmatt:  hdparm or smart13:49
moetunes!smart13:49
dmattmoetunes: smartmon must be installed first :(13:49
moetunesheh - that makes things hard then dmatt ...13:50
dmattjust finished checking second cd integrity check, both normal and alternate media are OK13:50
sresu_moetunes: Ok.. Well, other thing about muon, you know about that package manager? I know its not totally possible to get muon in lucid due dependencies. Is there ay way I can use anything like that? Other than kpk..13:50
moetunessresu_:  you can install synaptic or use the command line13:51
sresu_moetunes: I have it installed13:51
sresu_but no not the CLI13:51
moetunessresu_:  I haven't heard about muon tho13:51

smoophhey guys how can I uninstall the activities stuff15:44
smoophI have like a million unnamed new activities15:44
smoophof course without creating them15:44
e_t_said: you might take a look at this http://italc.sourceforge.net/ It's meant for teachers but might do what you want.15:47
javier__moetunes: it seems we broke something. Now, every time I cross my cursor over paste-plasma applet, plasma collapses and switch-off for several seconds, and restart later15:50
javier__moetunes: what we didnt really do anything for that happening, did we?15:50
moetunesjavier__:  afaik plasma has nothing in .config - you would need to logout/login to use the restored .config folder tho15:51
javier__but I restarted and its still happening15:51
moetunesjavier__:  prob more dbus errors - check the bottom of xsession-errors15:52
javier__moetunes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/523922/15:57

javier__moetunes: its full of errors15:58
moetunesjavier__:  it sure is - they all seem to stem from dbus from what I know16:00
javier__moetunes: so... any idea what could I do with that?16:01

javier__i think something like that can be happening to me, cause yesterday I had problems with KNM applet. But, right yesterday I restarted to default my Xorg configuration, so I think I dealed with those problems...16:07

ubottusaid: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)16:22
saidhow I can setup/install software *.tar.bz2   ???16:23
moetunes!checkinstall | said16:23
ubottusaid: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!16:23
moetunessaid:  that is called compiling - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware16:23
moetunesjavier__:  if there is no file there named xorg.conf and you have removed the nvidia driver you should be able to reboot into using the opensource driver16:24
javier__moetunes: ok, i will do it step by step. Im removing them and see what i got in that folder later16:25
moetunesk16:25
javier__moetunes: so now, any NVIDIA driver is active. and in X11 there is no xorg.conf file16:27
moetunesjavier__:  you need to reboot to not use the nvidia driver - it gets loaded into the kernel at boot afaik16:28
javier__moetunes: but there are xorg.conf.dist-update-20031011101, xorg.conf.failsafe and even xorg.conf~16:28
saidwhich systeme is the best and easy ;kununtu OR ubuntu16:28
javier__OK16:29
javier__moetunes: so, I reboot16:29
moetunesjavier__:  yep - if the files aren't named simply xorg.conf they're backups16:29
moetunessaid:  they are much the same - it depends on the desktop environment you prefer16:30
saidyou mean KDE & GNOME16:30
moetunesyep16:31
moetuneseach desktop environment has its' own apps etc16:31
saidHow i can change desktop environment from KDE to GNOME?16:32
javier__moetunes: well, everything working much faster now!16:32
moetunessaid:  you can install ubuntu-desktop and select it at login16:32
moetunes!ubuntu-desktop16:33
ubottuk/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.16:33
moetunesjavier__:  woot!16:33

despairhey all, banging my head into the wall over here, i can type the swedish chars (öäå) everywhere, but not in the kde konsole. they work in konsole ouside of X11, but not in kde konsole23:23
epyon22did any of you guys have problems with composing after upgrading to 10.1023:25
nerdy_kidepyon22 nope.  whats your gfx card?23:26
despairthey dont seem to work in xterm either23:26
epyon22intel x310023:26
epyon22worked great in 9.04 9.10 and 10.0423:27
nerdy_kidepyon22 does it work at all?23:27
epyon22it works but its slow and disables it self alot23:27
epyon22usally disabled as soon as i login23:27
nerdy_kidepyon22 hmm I have nvidia so I cant give many pointers.  Could always downgrade the intel driver23:28
epyon22yeah would any .kde config stuff get in the way?23:28
jmichaelxi don't think that downgrading the intel driver is an option....23:28
jmichaelxepyon22: in 10.10, many mobile intel gpu's are having a lot of performance issues23:29
epyon22ok no fixes yet?23:29
jmichaelxepyon22: the simplest solution seems to be reverting to 10.04.23:29
epyon22ugh lol23:29
jmichaelxepyon22: no good solution that i have found yet, and i have looked23:29
nerdy_kidjmichaelx: why not downgrade just the intel driver?  the xserver-intel package should do it, and the kernel too if he really needs it23:30
epyon22temping though i am enjoying this new default dark interface :)23:30
jmichaelxnerdy_kid: downgrade to which version?23:30
jmichaelxepyon22: i imagine that you could configure things in 10.04 to have the appearance you want far more easily than getting your intel gpu to function correctly23:31
nerdy_kidjmichaelx: he could just add the old lucid rep back in sources.list, apt-get update, downgrade the package and disable the lucid rep.  rather hackish, but it does work.23:31
nerdy_kid*should work23:31
nerdy_kidmaybe downgrade all of X1123:32
jmichaelxnerdy_kid: i have not attempted that, but i do not think it would work..23:32
jmichaelxnerdy_kid: yes, all of X11 would have to downgraded with it.... i do not believe it is worth attempting23:32
epyon22if im going to downgrade x11 i miswell go back to 10.0423:32
jmichaelxepyon22: i very much agree23:32
nerdy_kidepyon22: well I would think that it would be easier to downgrade X then revert to lucid, but I suppose it depends on your setup23:33
epyon22i have a seperate home partition23:33
epyon22so its ez to downgrade23:33
=== shark is now known as Guest98564
jmichaelxnerdy_kid: it does depend, but with separate home partition, downgrading to 10.04 is a piece of cake23:34
jmichaelxepyon22: totally agree23:34
nerdy_kidjmichaelx: yeah I guess you are right.  idk, personally I would go the hard way, but thats me :D23:34
epyon22hmm23:34
epyon22haha23:34
jmichaelxnerdy_kid: nothing wrong at all with trying what you suggested, if a person has the time and inclination23:35
epyon22well thank you for your help guys im probally gonna stick with 10.10 for now wait for a fix and if i get frustrated with it ill just take it back down23:35
RoDiMuS-XDoes Kubuntu have any advantages over ubuntu other than it uses KDE vs GNOME23:36
epyon22i enjoy all the new fixes like the new network manger and themes and the stuff that i havent played with yet23:36
nerdy_kidRoDiMuS-X: nope.  'cept that kde is prettier :)  (each have their own opinions about that however)23:36
olskolircwhat toolkit do we use to C++ programming please?23:37
RoDiMuS-Xnerdy_kid: Do you know if the ubuntu font is used in KDE23:37
nerdy_kidRoDiMuS-X: it can be, and is by default in 10.10 but personally I dislike the font and switched.23:37
nerdy_kidRoDiMuS-X: let me reword that, it can be only in 10.10 AFAIK.23:38
RoDiMuS-XNerdy_kid: I am trying to decide if I want to switch desktops because of unity set to release in 11.0423:38
KimLaRouxhttp://apt.last.fm/ <== best repo page ever23:38
jmichaelxnerdy_kid: i am with you on the font change23:39
nerdy_kidRoDiMuS-X: yeah I don't know anything about unity.  Do know that I used to be a gnome guy until KDE hit 4.3.23:39
nerdy_kidjmichaelx: the ubuntu font just looks really icky to me on kubuntu.23:39
jmichaelxnerdy_kid: i have been feeling the same way23:40
RoDiMuS-Xnerdy_kid: Would you say the screenshots of KDE on KDE.org and Kubuntu do not do it justice23:40
nerdy_kidRoDiMuS-X: kde is VERY flexible as far as looks go.  This is my setup currently http://yfrog.com/m9screenie13j.  I would say that the kde look sceenies are sometimes good, sometimes really bad.  the default theme is almost perfect in my opinon, I just lighten it up a little.23:41
nerdy_kidnot the best screenie of my setup either....23:41
GlaivlenHi, everyone! :D23:42
nerdy_kidhi :)23:42
RoDiMuS-Xnerdy_kid: yeah that looks way better than Kubuntu and KDE screenshots23:43
nerdy_kidRoDiMuS-X: thanks :)  one thing I will say, that I would switch QT's gfx backend from Xrender to Raster23:43
nerdy_kidjust did that to my setup today and things go waay faster now.  X11 uses like no CPU either -- used to use up to %30 of one of my cores.  You install kde-config-qt-graphicssystem23:45
nerdy_kidthen change the setting in system settings.  I found that I had to tweak my fonts a little, but it is well worth it.23:45
RoDiMuS-Xthe work shows23:46
nerdy_kidthanks :)23:46
RoDiMuS-XWhat about using a dock such as AWN any issues in KDE23:47
nerdy_kidRoDiMuS-X: those look terrible.  They are all written in GTK, so thus stand out terribly.23:48
RoDiMuS-Xnerdy_kid: there is no native dock other than the bar in KDE23:49
nerdy_kidI would recommed grabbing the svn version of the gtk-qt engine to make gtk apps blend in better, maybe the docks will look better then.23:49
nerdy_kidThere are plasmoids that emulate a dock, a couple that look like a mac dock.  I have never found these very nice to use however.  kde 4.6 is going to have app pinning support, and I am sure the docks for kde will get much better after that.23:50
nerdy_kidso you _can_ use awn/any other dock if you want, but it will most likely look a tad bit funny.  gtk-qt engine does a pretty good job at hiding gtk apps, but it still will look a little different.23:51
RoDiMuS-XYeah I don't like the MAC dock either23:51
nerdy_kidby default KDE has a windows like setup, as you probably have seen.  The task bar behaves just like it does in windows.  There are other task plasmoids you can use however.  personally, I cant wait for app pinning in 4.6.23:52
nerdy_kidoh I forgot, if you switch qt's backend to raster it breaks gtk-qt.  You are stuck with qtcurve for the gtk apps.23:53
