theannihilatorandrewh192: how would upgrade kubuntu that has been installed using wuzbi?00:26
andrewh192theannihilator: i am not sure00:27
valoriesince 10.10 is LTS00:27
valorieI think it's worth a clean install00:27
ruffleShi guys. i think i need some advice from y'all. i'm thinking of getting rid of gnome and replacing it with kde for now (gnome in maverick doesn't feel right as of now). is there any show-stopper i should be aware of?00:27
ruffleSvalorie, 10.04 is LTS not 10.1000:28
valorieruffleS: are you thinking of doing that as an upgrade, or clean install00:28
valorieoops00:28
valoriesorry, you are right00:28
ruffleSvalorie, i don't know.. i guess i'll just apt-get it00:28
theannihilatorso do a clean still?00:28
valorieI had problems with gnome/KDE conflicts, and did a clean install instead00:28
valoriewhich banished the problems00:29
ruffleSvalorie, are you currently on kubuntu 10.10? are there any bugs annoying you?00:29
valorieon 10.10, and loving it00:29
valorieno bugs I can think of00:29
ruffleSmy internet connection ain't no good. that's why i was thinking of apt-get instead of the clean install thing00:30
valoriethe weatherapplet was buggy at first00:30
valoriebut it's been updated, and seems stable now00:30
valorieruffle, how about zsync for the .iso00:30
ruffleSmmmmm.. sounds interesting..00:31
valoriethen you won't have to rely on your connection much00:31
ruffleSi do have a 10.10 iso here00:31
valorieI wrote a blog post about how to do it00:31
valoriesec00:31
ruffleSok but the one i've got is ubuntu's iso though00:31
valoriehttp://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2010/10/necessity-mother-of-learning-zsync.html00:32
valorieworth downloading the proper kubuntu one, IMO00:32
ruffleSyeah.. thought so...00:32
ruffleSi have even considered sticking to win 7 until 11.10 is out! i'm not enjoying ubuntu and gnome as i used to back in 10.0400:33
theannihilatori dont like kde period in kubuntu00:33
theannihilatori liked the old kde 3 layout00:33
valorieI'm the wrong person to talk to about gnome, since I've never liked it, at all00:33
theannihilatori do not like these window widgets00:33
ruffleStheannihilator, welcome to the club, mate. i don't like kde either.. i'm just going to give it yet another go00:34
valorietheannihilator: you can do the old-fashioned way, if you want00:34
theannihilator?00:34
theannihilatorwhat kde 3 on kubuntu 101000:34
valorieno, but you don't have to have any window widgets00:35
valorieor any special desktop effects turned on00:35
valorieas usual, KDE gives you maximum control over what you want00:35
ruffleSbrb00:39
theannihilatorhelp im lost00:50
theannihilatori did  asearch for g++ compilers00:51
theannihilatorand all but the the multilib files say amd6400:52
theannihilatori take it back all do00:52
theannihilatorwhich one will work for me>?00:52
valorieyou might want to ask in a devel channel00:54
theannihilatorwhich is?00:54
theannihilator #dev?00:54

chris062689I have a question, I'm currently connected to a windows computer through cifs.02:49
chris062689I'm using the command..02:49
chris062689sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.2.108/ChrisFiles/ -o username=Chris,password=PASS /mnt/winserver02:49
chris062689Is there a way I can replace 192.168.2.108 (the LAN address) with just the name (myserver) so it doesn't matter if I'm on the LAN or if I'm using a VPN?02:50
dasKreechif you have name resolution in your lan yes02:54
chris062689Name resolution on the router correct DasKreech?02:58
dasKreechif that serves the lan then yes02:58
chris062689Yeah.02:58
chris062689Hmm, let me double check.02:58
chris062689Also, how can I get that to automatically mount my server on login?02:58
chris062689chris@chrisLaptop:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //myserver/ChrisFiles/ -o username=Chris,password=PASS /mnt/winserver03:01
chris062689mount error: could not resolve address for myserver: No address associated with hostname03:01
chris062689dasKreech ^03:02
dasKreechcan You ping myserver?03:04
chris062689nope, unknown host dasKreech03:04
chris062689But I can map the network drive just fine on my windows machine03:04
dasKreechthere you go03:04
chris062689o_003:05
chris062689I can map it just fine from (myserver) a windows machine03:06
chris062689using //myserver03:06
dasKreechsee if you can get the name resolution working on the Linux machines. It needs to be able to ping within your .lan domain03:06
chris062689perhaps I can write a shell script that pings that IP address, and if it can't find it, use the other address (the Hamachi address)03:07
chris062689that could be a work around.. hmmm........03:07

chriss0110Hi. Does anybody know something about curious bugs in kde in connection with kms? everything crashes and nobody knows why. Now I thought it may be because i deactivated kms via "nomodeset" in grub. So I activated it again but now kde doesnt even start. I asked this in #kde as well and i got the suggestion to ask here again because it is x that crashes and not kde.17:28

NewbeeDoes anybody know how to make kde to treat the sign normal again?17:48
NewbeeIn any non kde-app like firefox or openoffice everything is fine! so I thing the problem must be kde- related17:49
chriss0110any ideas concerning my problem?17:52

Guest31913hi everyone. i am running kubuntu 10.10 and have a soundblaster 5.1 (ca106). alsamixer shows all channels, kmix and phonon configurator only one analog stereo channel. can anybody help?19:24
SentynelGuest31913: in console, type pavucontrol, then from the configuration tab select a suitable output (probably 5.1 output + analog input or something along those lines)19:24
Sentyneler, suitable profile19:25
Guest31913Sentynel: allright, let me try that. thanks ahead!19:26
crischanSentynel: the pavuconfig thing worked, it works like a charm now, still there is only one channel (named Analog Surround 5.1) to manage. on 10.4 and 9.10 i had three channels (front, side, center) to finetune... any ideas?19:36
Sentynelcrischan: you can tweak the volumes of the individual channels also in pavucontrol19:36
Sentyneloutput devices tab19:36
crischanSentynel: yes. but i had amarok on my rear channels and other apps on my front channels. used to be able to config that in phonon config, but there it onlny shows one 5.1 channel...19:37
Sentynelcrischan: no more, I fear19:38
Sentynelunless phonon gets an upgrade to properly interface with pulse19:38
SentynelI have a patched phonon backend that bypasses pulse19:39
