apparlecan someone help me configure kremotecontrol or kdelirc00:22
caiotiagoHi all, I have an issue with powerdevil. It is not working perfectly for an user.00:33
caiotiagoIt will change the brightness, but won't change profile or suspend00:33
caiotiagoIf I create a new user it works for the new user, but copying the powerdevilrc and powerdevilprofilesrc won't help.00:33
caiotiagoI've also deleted the .kde directory of this user, but powerdevil still doesn't work.00:34
caiotiagoIt won't work through the plasmoid, kcontrol or even using qdbus on the command line00:34
caiotiagobut it raises no error00:35
caiotiagofor instance:00:35
caiotiagoqdbus org.kde.powerdevil /modules/powerdevil suspend 200:35
caiotiagojust return nothing, without raising an error00:35
d_edcaiotiago: you could try going straight to org.freedesktop.powermanager and hitting suspend.00:36
caiotiagolet me try00:36
d_edI'm half expecting to see "caiotiago has gone offline" right now..00:37
caiotiagoit's another computer, ;)00:37
d_edteehee ok00:37
d_edthe paths are: "org.freedesktop.PowerManagement","/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement", QDBusConnection::sessionBus()00:37
d_edjust so happened that I had them on screen at the time when I saw this on IRC>00:38
caiotiagodidn't worked either00:39
d_edand nothing in dmesg?00:39
caiotiagod_ed: the last thing on dmesg is "Skipping EDID probe due to cached edid"00:42
caiotiagothe other messages are from the boot00:43
caiotiagoI had installed lxde, xfce and openbox on that computer, and also there was an update to kde, so I don't know what broke it00:44
caiotiagoI added the kubuntu-ppa and updated, but it didn't fix either00:44

Makagreetings :) i am an ubuntu user, trying to install kde. I'd really like to try kubuntu, but I need help.06:42
Makahttp://www.mynitor.com/2010/02/27/kubuntu-is-awesome/comment-page-1/#comment-551 is where i posted my problem (you'll see mine down at the bottom)06:43
Makaplease someone help?06:43
Makaanyone? there's an awful lot of people here... :(06:44
arg501you can install kubuntu from the ubuntu software center06:45
arg501and then you have both, but you will see ubuntu programs in kubuntu and kubuntu in ubuntu, some people don't like that but I don't care personally06:46
arg501oh and when you search for it in the software center, make sure you click the "Show Technical items" at the bottom06:47
arg501and then KDE plasma desktop or whatever should be an option in there06:48
valorieMaka: you have broken packages?06:57
valorieis that your comment?06:57
Makayes06:57
valoriedid you try installing from the software center?06:57
Makait's not installing because it says there are broken packages, but i have no idea how to fix that06:57
Makayes from synaptec package manager06:58
valorieeven in the software center?06:58
valorieah06:58
Makaand also tried from command line06:58
Makai used this command sudo apt-get install --install-recommends kubuntu-desktop06:58
valoriewell, possibly you could try installing a few of those which "are not going to be installed'06:58
valorieby themselves06:58
Makaisnt that what the -install-recommends does?06:59
valoriehmmm, I didn't realize that open-office had a 'kde version"06:59
MakaReading package lists... Done06:59
MakaBuilding dependency tree06:59
MakaReading state information... Done06:59
MakaSome packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have06:59
Makarequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable06:59

Makadistribution that some required packages have not yet been created06:59
valorieyes, and it seems to be jamming up somewhere06:59
valoriehmmm06:59
valoriewhat version of ubuntu are you running?07:00
valorieFloodBotK1: stop being annoying07:00
Makaok i tried to install one of them manually.. it gave me this: E: Unable to locate package language-selctor-qt07:03
Makaso does that mean its in a repository i dont have?07:03
Makaand how would i find out how to add it?07:03
valoriewhat version of Ubuntu are you using?07:03
Maka(please forgive my many questions, i'm pretty new to this)07:03
Maka10.1007:03
valoriewell, I had Ubuntu installed before, and tried to install Kubuntu-desktop, from 10.0407:04
valorieit didn't go well07:04
valorieso I don't know that I'm the best person to advise you07:05
Makahmm... i may just try it in a virtualbox and see if it's really what i want to do anyway... if i like it.. perhaps i'll dual boot? but that's not really what i want... i wanted it inside the same linux.07:05
Makaso i could choose between which desktop i wanted at login07:06
=== jason is now known as Guest39124
valorieyou don't have to dual boot07:06
valorieyou can choose on login07:06
Makathat's what i'm trying to do07:06
Makabut i cant even get it to install07:06
valorieI'm wondering if there is a bug in Ubuntu which is causing this07:07
valoriehowever, many people successfully do what you are doing07:07
valorieare you using 32-bit, or 64?07:08
valorieI'm wondering if my botched bit was somehow getting them confused07:08
valorieif so, seems odd that it's still happening07:08
valorielanguage-selector-qt is certainly available07:09
valoriedid you paste in that error message?07:09
valorieif so, did you misspell the packagename, or did apt?07:10
Makai copy/pasted the name so i dont think it's misspelled07:10
Makathis machine is capable of 64 bit.. but i installed 32 bit07:10
Makais there a way i could tell for sure which it has? 32 bit or 64 bit?07:11
valorieif you installed 32, it's 3207:12
valoriethat name is certainly misspelled07:12
Makaooh07:12
Makalemme try again07:12
valorieplease try apt-get install with the correct spelling07:12
Makaoh i see what i did. :\07:13
valoriewhat?07:13
Makai get another broken package message *sigh*07:13
Makathis is getting frustrating07:13
valorievery weird07:13
MakaThe following packages have unmet dependencies:07:14
Maka language-selector-qt : Depends: python-qt4 but it is not going to be installed07:14
MakaE: Broken packages07:14
Makawhen i did sudo apt-get install --install-recommends language-selector-qt07:14
Makaisnt there a way to make it install these automatically ?07:14
valorieoh, I would just do sudo apt-get install language-selector-qt07:14
valoriemaka, that is what should have happened07:15
valoriehowever, if you go through one by one07:15
valorieyou can pinpoint the problem package07:15
valorieand perhaps we can do a work-around07:15
valorieperhaps you can try something else: sudo aptitude install --install-recommends kubuntu-desktop07:16
valorieif you don't have aptitude, sudo apt-get install aptitude07:17
Guest83009guys i just finished installing pc linux os on my pc i intended to dual boot it with ubuntu but i can no longer see the ubuntu entry in the grub menu how can i fix this07:35

Frefhi08:01
FrefI humbly come to ask for help08:02
FrefI recently bought an Asus 1215 n08:02
Frefand tried to install Kubuntu 10.10 on it08:02
Freffrom a usb stick08:02
Frefbut the installer always crashes08:02
Frefafter the disk is formatted08:03
FrefUnfortunately, right now, I have no logs08:03
Frefany kind of help is most welcome08:03
urgenI haven't tried any usb style08:18
valoriefref, perhaps you should try again with a different USB stick08:26
valoriesome of them are just never going to be successful08:26
valorieflaws somewhere08:26
Frefthing is08:26
FrefI tried with the same stick08:26
Frefand installed ubuntu (not kubuntu) successfully08:27
valorieok08:27
valoriewell, I've successfully installed kubuntu from a usb stick08:28
valorieand of course from CDs08:28
Frefmy issue with ubuntu is that it doesn' t show me the proprietary drivers for the wifi card when I boot from the installed partition although it shows them to me when I boot from the stick, which mean I can't get rid from gnome and install Kde on top of ubuntu08:29
FrefI'll try again with kubuntu from a different stick and post the logs if I can find them08:29
doobdhi people10:50
doobdi need some help on my broken kde in kubuntu, is there anyone who can help me please?10:51
moetunesdepends on how it is broken...10:51
doobdhi moetunes thank you for reply10:52
doobdkde doesn't start automatically, it returns me to text mode console10:52
moetunesyou should let the channel know what the issue is doobd :)10:52
moetunesk10:53
doobda sec i'm writing10:53
doobdwhen i try startx, it shows the cyan-blue kde login background for a quick second, and then it goes in plain X with one messagebox only that says: "could not start kdeinit4 check your installation", and when i click ok it returns me to text mode10:54
doobdi think that it happend with the latest security fix update10:54
moetuneswhich kde version do you have?10:55
doobdwhen update was over, my fonts were kind of screwed up, then i tried starting GIMP and it would not start, nor the virtualbox, so i restarted and now i cannot even login to kde10:55
doobdi have kubuntu 10.0410:55
moetunesyou haven't installed a later version of kde from a ppa or anything?10:56
doobdno10:56
doobdi haven't installed anything specific other than updates that it offered me10:57
doobdi tried  apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop but it didn't help10:57
moetunesseems strange then10:57
doobdyes :(10:57
doobdand i need to get it running so desperatly, so many things to do today and i'm stuck with a broken machine10:58
doobdis there anything i can try?10:58
moetunestried   apt-get update && apt-get upgrade   ?10:58
moetunesor did that cause it?10:58
magIRCienPARAZITES10:58
doobdyes, tried that *after* the thing was broken10:59
doobddid not help10:59
doobdsays 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed...10:59
moetuneskubutnu-desktop is just a meta package - try to reinstall kde10:59
doobdlike apt-get install --reinstall kde  ?11:00
moetunesyep11:00
doobdsays package kde has n0 instalation candidate11:00
doobdwhat is the kde package name11:00
moetunesI dunno offhand - apt-cache search kde11:01
doobdthat lists arround 1000 packages11:01
doobdas far as i understand, i see no errors in /etc/logs/Xorg.0.log11:02
doobdstrange thing (to me) is that when i type startx a blue login kde screen comes up for a second11:03
doobdbtw startkde says "$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to X server."11:04
moetunessomething got borked along the line somehow - I think the package is kde-full11:04
doobdwhen i export DISPLAY=:0.0, same thing11:04
moetunes!kde-full11:04
doobdyes it is : ) i'll try11:04
doobdok doing --reistnall kde-full... i'll see how that goes. thank you so far11:05

jussimoetunes: kubuntu-desktop is probably a better bet in that circumstance ;)11:08
moetunesjussi:  that did nothing for him/her - it was tried11:08
jussimoetunes: ahh, I didnt read that far back11:09
moetunes:)11:09
doobdmoetunes: should this reinstall affect my settings (override them with default ones)? i have compiz, custom fonts... will that be overriden?11:13
moetunesdoobd:  I shouldn't think so11:13
doobdcustom compiled alsa ...11:13
moetunesit is not something I have had to do tho - but I have faith :)11:14
moetunesit should just replace the kde libs etc11:14
doobdbtw, one question... what is the difference between kubuntu 10.04 and 10.10? will my 10.04 eventually get updated to 10.10, or what should i do to enable it? is it advised to do so?11:17
doobdi suppose i have to add some repositories?11:17
moetunesthere should be an option in kpackagekit to let you upgrade11:18
doobdaha, okay11:18
doobdupdate finished, but same thing happens :((( startx displays same "Cold not start kdeinit4. Check your installation message" again11:21
doobdis there any other idea i could try11:21
doobdis there some log i should examine?11:22
moetunesthe X log maybe -   less /var/log/Xorg.0.log11:22
doobdthere are no (EE) lines in the file11:24
moetunesis that the whole error? "Cold not start kdeinit4. Check your installation message" ?11:25
doobdyes11:25
doobdcan you take a look at my Xorg.0.log? i uploaded it to http://doobd.com/kdeerror/11:26

doobdpastebin is unresponsive to me... i uploaded the same file with txt extension so you can open it in your browser http://doobd.com/kdeerror/Xorg.0.log.txt11:31
doobdbtw nvidia-xconfig did not help.... it created new xorg.conf but the same thing happens11:32

doobdjussi thank you11:33
jussidoobd: Im not sure then - bit frustrating Im sure11:33
doobdis there any other log thay you might find usefull to help me?11:33
moetunesthat's a pretty short X log but it seems fine11:34
doobdyes, i see no errors there too11:35
moetunesmaybe time to ask in #kde what that error means11:35
fmergeshi11:37
fmergesim getting this: python: /build/buildd/sip4-qt3-4.10.5/siplib/siplib.c:2600: sip_api_parse_result: Assertion `assign_helper != ((void *)0)' failed.  After updating from 10.4 to 10.10 any idea?11:37
moetunesdoobd:  from here - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=836055 - it seems the first line  in /usr/bin/startkde needs to be broken into 2 lines after   true11:40
doobdmoetunes: THANK YOU that was the thing11:41
doobdhow the hell did that happen11:42
moetunesdunno :)11:42
doobdfunny thing is that i googled and found the link tyou pasted, but i havent carefully examined the startkde file so i couldn't find that line11:43
doobdbut it was there11:43
doobdnow few other things in kde are broken, but at leat i have the graphic interface11:44
doobdthank you once again for the support11:44
moetunesnp :)11:44
doobdmoetunes: can i ask one more question... now kde works on statkde (although some things are missing, like my emerald window decorations) but it doesn't start automatically, on reboot i have to log in to text mode and startx manually... how to fix that... btw kdm is running11:53
doobdsorry i ment to say "kde works on startx"11:53
moetunesdoobd:  is there an entry for kde in the sessions on kdm?11:55
doobdhmm... i dunno, where should i look?11:55
moetunesthere's a session button isn't there?11:58
doobdbutton? where? when i type startx ist starts kde without login prompt since i'm logged in text console11:59
moetunesI thought you were using kdm...12:00
moetunesyou can put a line in .bash_profile like   [ `tty` = "/dev/tty1" ] && startx12:02
doobdok thanks... i'll try... btw it seems now that i have some cairo related issues because emerald & firefox won't start with libcairo.so.2: and libxul.so: Undefined symbol FT_Library_SetLcdFilter12:04
moetunesdoobd:  if kdm is running why do you have to login to text mode on reboot? - "btw kdm is running" does kdm not let you login?12:04
doobdi mean the service is runiing, but it still fails me back to textmode on reboot, but i can start kde with startx12:05
moetunesthat shouldn't be happening12:05
doobdi know12:06
doobdthat's why i'm here : )12:06
moetunesheh12:06
moetuneswas it always like that or is this new - the kdm thing?12:07
doobdi used to boot directly into kde graphic login screen12:08

doobdi even tried to downgrade libjpeg to prev version but it didn't help....13:11
moetunesI would think libxml2 could be the issue out of what you upgraded there13:14
doobdwhat would you suggest me to do?13:15
doobdi didn't manage to figure out how to downgrade it to previous ver (before update) because i don't get what is the version number from that file... it says 6b-14 only but apt-get install libxml2=6b-14 doesn't work (says no that version)13:17
doobdanyway i suppose that downgrade isn't realy a solution13:17
doobdi just wanted to return it to previous working state13:17

ScuniziArg.. every time I boot Amarok starts playing the last thing in que even if *there is nothing in the play list*.  How do I fix that? 10.04LTS version.16:07
ubuntuhello16:09
BluesKajjado, firstly you need to create a text file in /var/log/ and name it NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state , then copy these lines to it.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/532413/16:09
BluesKajScunizi, check play options16:11
ScuniziBluesKaj: thanks I removed the checkmark on "Resume Playback on Start".  But why would it play anything at all with nothing in the playlist?  You'd figure once the list is cleared it would be silent.16:21
BluesKajScunizi, agreed , but I'm not sure why ..amarok is still kind of clunky IMO16:26

alvinpabloz: ls | grep -v trunk19:54
pablozhi alvin, thanks for your answer. If I need to send it to svn i need to use svn $(ls | grep -v trunk) ?19:55
pablozyes (don't ask me why I did't try before asking... I'm burned)19:56

PiciI'd use find if you're going to use the output of the command as an argument for another one.19:58
