draikHello all. Has anyone ever dealt with various URLs coming back as invalid?00:57
draikCurrently, I can't hit anything with "netflix.com"00:57
draikI restarted nscd, but that didn't do anything00:57
jmichaelxnetflix.com working fine here01:03
jmichaelxwhen i enable the kubuntu-ppa, update, and look at what would happen if i decided to upgrade to KDE4.5.3, i see that yawp will be removed in the process... will yawp be available if i do this upgrade?01:05
draikYeah, it happens to me from time to time01:06
draikDifferent sites suddenly won't display01:06
draikI get Invalid URL all over the place01:06
jmichaelxdraik: but no likely clue as to what is causing the problem?01:07
jmichaelxdraik: what happens if you ping those sites?01:08
draikjmichaelx: http://pastebin.com/VxpKehCf01:14
jmichaelxdraik: strange.... that seems to indicate that you are able to see the site just fine01:16
draikAnd now the site loads.01:18
draikI go yell now.01:19
jmichaelxdraik: what DNS servers are you using?01:19

ViviusHey everyone! I got a lot of help last time I was here, fixed loads of problems, would you mind me askin about 2 other things, last 2 problems!03:07
chuckfdepends on what the questions are03:08
ViviusI have an ASRock motherboard, using a PCI Express card not internal, but it has nForce 6100/405 networking and audio, with Fedora the sound worked pretty good, though not as good as Windows for quality, but with Kubuntu it reports that it can only use mono at 60% volume orsomething and sounds generally crap.03:09
ViviusI looked for nForce linux drivers but they are like 2 years out of date, it recognises the card fine, but only works in mono03:09
Viviusis there something I can do about this or am I stuck with it, and not too difficult to do?03:10
shashi_ircI am using kubuntu 10.10. In Kde4, if i add applications desktop. the applications on the desktop are now showing in a proper order, and the right-click does not showing any options like "arrange by name, arrange by type. etc..." .  How i can auto arrange the items on the Desktop so that desktop will appear properly ?03:10
Viviusyea and i'm using kubuntu 10.1003:11
Viviusand i want kubuntu because fedora i can't get some other more important things working03:12
Viviuscan anyone help :(03:13
chuckfI don't use that chipset and don't have any experience with it03:13
Viviushmm, i'll try using the drivers i found when i get back to the machine03:14
FloridaGuyhow do i add the latest kde to 10.10...right here...  http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.5.3  .... all i can find is for 9.0404:16
valorieFloridaGuy: you add ppa:kubuntu-ppa to your repositories04:20
valorieupdate, and then upgrade04:20
FloridaGuyvalorie, then that will add the lastest kde to the repo04:21
valorieyes04:21
valoriethat's exactly how I did it a few weeks ago04:21
FloridaGuyok04:22
FloridaGuyFailed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg  Something wicked happened resolving 'ppa.launchpad.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)04:23
FloridaGuySome index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.04:23
valorieweird -- your link opens the gpg key04:24
valorieI would just do it again04:24
FloridaGuyi added it the way you said04:25
valoriecan you look at your list of repositories, and see if there is an obvious error somewhere?04:27
valoriebecause this looks wrong: 'ppa.launchpad.net:http'04:27
valoriesee that?04:28

volodyahow do I stop KDE's network management applet (so that I can run nm-applet)06:36
moetunesI don't think you need to stop it06:37
volodya$ nm-applet --replace06:38
volodyaAn instance of nm-applet is already running.06:38
volodyaand it's not.06:39
moetuneswhy the --replace?06:41
volodyabecause (i) nm-applet has no man page at all and (ii) I've tried all possible options to make it start anyway06:41
volodyaSo, I suppose that it sees KDE network manager, and barks06:42
moetunesok - you tried to pkill it?06:42
volodyapkill what?06:43
volodyathere's no 'nm-applet' in ps output06:43
moetunes KDE network manager06:43
volodyawell, it's apparently not a program any longer06:43
volodyait's plasma plugin of some sort06:44
moetunesdoes   ps aux | grep net   show it?06:44
volodyano06:44
moetunesdoes   ps aux | grep -i net   show it?06:45
moetunesit is called NetworkManager iirc - with a capital N06:46
moetunes kill `pidof NetworkManager`06:46
volodyaIt's NetworkManager daemon, not KDE's UI for it.06:46
volodyaand nm-applet need daemon to work06:47
moetunesI've no idea then - I don't use any network managers06:50
volodyagotta uninstall KDE one, as last resort06:50
moetuneswicd works for alot of ppl06:51
volodyaI'd much rather write openconnect support for KDE, in the long term ;-)06:57
volodyaand, if wicd does not support VPN, it's kinda useless06:58
moetunesthere's something on the wicd home page about that06:59

zztrhello. i'm using kubuntu in failsafe gui mode currently07:32
zztri have no idea why, but since i shut down the computer when I left for work it won't boot up normally. it gets to the login screen, i type my password, and it hangs forever on a black screen with just the mouse thereafter. no significant processor usage, judging by the fan07:34
webinatorthis is why people stick with windows cause they can actually get help with their problems07:35
zztrany suggestions about something to try would be welcome07:36
zztrthe only significant thing I recall doing is uninstalling the mysql server07:37
webinatornobody knows nothing in here07:37
webinatorwhat i can tell sofar07:37
webinatorcan anybody say anything at least07:40
frogonwheelszztr: is your /tmp full?08:02
frogonwheelszztr: also you can CTRL+ALT+F2  into a console, login  there and run top  to see if there's anything it's trying to do..08:03
frogonwheelszztr: it could be the session manager trying to load something - though I'd expect it to get further.08:03
frogonwheelszztr:  you can also tail /var/log/messages  to see if there is anything significant there.08:03
frogonwheelswebinator: more details -  what are you trying to install/download, what happens when you do  ..08:04
frogonwheelswebinator: The silence here is probably a lot to do with timezones08:05
zztrfrogonwheels: thanks. I have to quit since I can't move windows around in this mode it seems08:13
zztrcontrol shift f2 does nothing in this mode08:14
frogonwheelszztr:  ctrl+alt+F2  should get you to the linux console08:14
moetunesyou should tell ppl how to get back too08:14
zztroh there it is. great, i just misread.08:14
frogonwheelsmoetunes: good point08:15
moetunes:)08:15
zztrctrl - alt - f7, correct?08:15
frogonwheelszztr:   to get back you press alt+F7    (or alt+F8 sometimes)08:15
frogonwheelsnot the ctrl  you only need that when going from Xwindows08:15
zztrwell it seems the ext3fs maximal mount count is reached08:21
zztri have no idea how. i have one external drive that's fat08:22
frogonwheelszztr: oh weird  presumably it's one of your primary partitions?08:22
zztrit is a partitioned drive. the other partition is osx...08:23
zztrbut why does that matter... it's not ext308:23
zztrand if it doesn't mount, that's fine anyway08:24
frogonwheelszztr:  well is it your main partition that reaches the mount count?08:24
frogonwheelszztr: look even so, it shouldn't stop you from loging in.08:24
zztrwhere would all the other mount points come from??08:25
zztror is the max number suddenly really low like 108:25
zztrhow do i check this stuff08:25
frogonwheelszztr: typically for ext3 it's quite high..08:25
frogonwheelszztr: errm tune2fs -l   apparently08:28
frogonwheelszztr:  sudo tune2fs -l /dev/???08:29
moetunesthere's probably something erroring out and remounting - check the size of the log files08:30
zztrthere's a lot in /var/log/messages. too much to go through. nothing jumps out at me08:31
cristieExcuse me,but is there anybody here?08:32
moetunesnope :)08:32
frogonwheelswe're all hiding.08:32
cristieEr08:32
frogonwheelscristie:  ;) just ask your question08:33
cristieDo any body install the Adobe Reader 9.0?08:34
frogonwheelswhat happened when you tried, cristie?08:34
cristieI can`t find the way to uninstall it.08:34
frogonwheelscristie: how did you install it?08:34
cristieThat`s the problem08:34
cristieI get the .deb from adobe.com08:35
frogonwheelscristie: ok - then that should just uninstall from your favourite package manager08:35
cristieBut I can`t find it in the Ubuntu Software Center08:36
moetunesdid you install it with   dpkg -i   ?08:37
cristieI think I did not08:37
frogonwheelsmoetunes: probably installed it with that kde package installer thing, whatever it's called08:37
zztrmoetunes: which log files?08:37
cristieOk.08:38
moetuneszztr:  I would do   ls -lh /var/log/08:38
moetuneszztr:  the total is on the first line08:38
zztrfrogonwheels: fiddling with tune2fs, doesn't seem to be happy with anything in /dev08:38
cristieI think I find the way to deal with it08:39
frogonwheelszztr: did you sudo ?08:39
frogonwheelscristie: you found the package?08:39
cristiefrogonwheels:Year08:39
cristieBut not it the Software center08:40
zztrfrogonwheels: yes08:40
cristiefrogonwheels:I find the files.There is an 'uninstall' in it.08:40
zztrmoetunes: 8.8m total, biggest logs are dpkg.log.1 and daemon.log.108:41
cristiefrogonwheels:But thank you the same.You know I am new to Linux.08:41
frogonwheelscristie:  hmm.. really you should use the package manager08:41
frogonwheelscristie: it would be _much_ better if you did08:41
moetunesthat's ok then - obviously no large amounts of messages being written08:42
zztrmoetunes: both 1.3m08:42
frogonwheelscristie: do you know what the filename of adobe is called (the executable)?08:42
cristiefrogonwheels:yes,I agree.08:42
moetuneszztr:  I have had logs that were 60m + due to errors08:42
frogonwheelscristie: you can find the package name with  dpkg-query -S  <name>08:42
frogonwheelscristie: and then you can  sudo dpkg -r <packaeg>08:43
cristiefrogonwheels:em08:44
frogonwheelscristie: from 'konsole'08:44
cristiefrogonwheels:I get it.08:44
zztrmoetunes: ah that sounds scary08:46
frogonwheelsmoetunes: yeah - I've had GB logs  that filled up the disk-space and thus nothing started :)08:47
zztrfrogonwheels: ok i was wrong. /dev/sda4 doesn't give an error message and has real output08:55
zztri gotta sleep for work tomorrow. thank you very much for your help! i'll of course look at this again09:00

BluesKajselsper, it should work for you15:48
selsperI did that, it seemed to work, but the likes of yt and vimeo still aren't working, do I need to install something for firefox too?15:49

BluesKajwell, it's still good to have..another you might check is ffmpeg15:54

apparleis there a good video converter for qt/kde/linux18:14
apparleI have somehow messed my system, such that winebrowser is the default on my system. where do I fix it?18:15

BluesKajok DiogenesW , good evening to you too :)18:26
apparleBluesKaj: winff is dumb18:33
BluesKajapparle, most video gui converters are dumb , you could try avidemux , but i prefer ffmpeg in the cli. Go to the ffmpeg site for a very connvincing tutorial as to why  cli is  superior to gui clunkiness :)18:43
apparleBluesKaj: I know how to use ffmpeg cli... but I am looking for a good gui for ffmpeg or mencoder18:45
apparleBluesKaj: like format factory on windows18:45
apparleBluesKaj: although it is not perfect but way better than winff18:45
BluesKajapparle, if you find a perfect converter app , pls let me know18:47
apparleBluesKaj: I am thinking of writing a gui for both ffmpeg and mencoder18:48
BluesKajapparle, be my guest :)18:48
apparleBluesKaj: but if I get enough time.18:50
apparleBluesKaj: I am thinking, I would make it such a way that it would generate cli code for any cli converter..... by looking up a xml file or something like that18:51
BluesKajwinff already does that18:53
BluesKajno matter apparle , I still prefer ffmpeg for conversion and if your looking at conversion to dvd , tovid is a good one18:55

cragdorHi19:47
cragdorI seem to have a rather unique issue with Kubuntu 10.10, and nvidia propriatry in that the onboard Nvidia Card works, But my GTS250 will not, anyone got any clues19:48
radarcan anyone tell me a channel to ask apache questions?19:48
radarsorry Cragdor I am not using Nvidia on 10.10 yet19:49
skafti_hey19:50
skafti_can someone please tell me how to configure ktorrent19:50
cragdorthanks radar, any idea of a channel that might be able to help? Its strange as the GTS250 is the newer card, so i would expect it to work19:50
radarI always have problems with new things in linux heheh19:51
cragdorlol19:51
plan_richskafti_: just add a *.torrent file to ktorrent and start loading19:52
apparleanyone has used lirc mouse successfully in maverick?19:52
cragdorI thought i was good at linux after using it for 10+ years, but this has me baffled, and non of the usual online places have any info on it.19:52
skafti_what about vuze19:52
skafti_does not seem to find port... i am a totall dunce in this19:53
radarthat card is not the kind that has one of those pre bios things is it?19:53
cragdorPre BIOS thing? As far as i am aware its just a standard card19:54
radarnot sure how to explain what I mean I had a P4 with Nvidia card and before bios post nvidia had its own bios to post first19:55
cragdorYeah, most NVIDIA do that19:55
radarso is yours starting at bios?19:56
cragdorinfact all as far as i can remember, its just sometimes monitors can't react fast enough. Mine boots i see everything up until login screen when i get dropped to console, with an error the Driver doesn't support this card see apendix A, i looked at apendix A and the card is listed as supported19:58
BluesKajradar, cragdor, I think you're referring to c hoosing the pci card as the default in the BIOS , right ?19:58
cragdorBluesKaj, Radar, I choose PCIExpress in the Bios: But it seems to be a issue with the propriatary driver not recognising the card as supported19:59
radaryeah i did that fight before20:00
radarI remember installing a cheap video card just to get x server to work and installed driver for new card20:00
BluesKajcragdor, yeah check the kmenu/apps/system/additional drivers or HW drivers , I guess the defaults are proprietary now20:01
radari am sure ther is a better way but I dont know of one20:01
radarohh that sounds better20:01
BluesKajI have the 8400gs and it's using the nvidia-current 260.19.0620:02
cragdorRadar, BluesKaj: driver is installed, if i tell it to boot the onboard in the bios, and plug the monitors into it, it loads the propriatary driver fine, get nvidia-settings, tells me i'm running 260.19.21(e.g latest), when i look at DMesg i can still see it fail for the GTS250 though20:03
BluesKajcragdor, yeah, interesting , my old 7600gt is using the 260.19.21 , yet this 8400gs continues to use the older driver20:05
cragdorHello? Sorry disconnected for a second20:06
BluesKajcragdor, yeah, interesting , my old 7600gt is using the 260.19.21 , yet this 8400gs continues to use the older driver20:06
radarok i need to get back to work boss just showed up20:08
radartake it easy guys20:08
cragdorBluesKaj : Hmm Strange, Perhaps i need to try installing an old driver.... you don't happen to know what one your using for the 8400gs, i think your GPU is a G92, and mine is a G92+20:09

webinatorhow come when i would download a torrent using uTorrent on windows I could download at about 1mb/s. But now usin kTorrent and installing packets its at around 400kb/s21:53
webinatorhello21:56
Khaswebinator, have you configued them the same?21:56
KhasSpeed is more a protocol issue than a software issue, it's dependant on many things21:56
webinatoryeah. using same computer router and isp. one was on windows other on linux21:57
webinatorand same tracker.21:59
KhasThere are protocol configurations, max number of connections, max upload slots, download slot etc all dictate the speed.21:59
=== Muzer is now known as MuzerAway
KhasDifferent pieces of software have different default settings22:00
webinatorI configured all the same.22:00
KhasI suggest you find a website that lists the best settings for your connection.22:00
webinatorI'll check that out.22:00
KhasYou could have just been lucky before heh22:00
webinatormaybe, it was nice to download 23 gb movies in a couple of hours22:01
rorkwebinator: and then there's utorrent specific features like Peer exchange, DHT (also supported in kTorrent) and Protocol Encryption which may lead to more peers/faster downloads22:01
webinatoralso I cannot seem to seed the same torrents I was when using uTorrent.22:02
webinatori a noob to all this stuff22:03
webinatorIll click add torrent then click the torrent file and save it to the location and then it says seeding but it doesn't say it on the tracker. Now my ratio is dropping.22:04
webinatorai just checked and its downloading at around 41.33 KiB/s. whats that in mb22:06
g4Hi all22:06
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: i had the same problem in the beginning. after tweaking ktorrent , the speed has increased well.22:09
webinatorwhat did you do to change it22:10
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: did you forward the required ports?22:10
webinatorI think I did i have been having trouble with it22:11
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: did you use the plugin provided in ktorrent22:12
webinatori dont know22:12
webinatori get the same speed when installing packets too22:12
phoenix_firebrdcan you see the tab named plugin in the left side that is green?22:13

phoenix_firebrdthen the ports are forwared22:17
webinatorok22:17
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: settings->configure ktorrent22:17
Khasg_, no, you can use 32 bit if you like :-)22:17
KhasBut you won't be able to access the full 4gig22:18
Khasafaik22:18
webinatornow they all say connectio refused22:18
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: bittorrent22:18
g_Khas: which would be money wasted ;)22:18
KhasWhy wouldn't you want to use the 64bit though? :-D22:19
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: select everything except send the tracker a custom ip..22:19
webinatornow they are showing up on my router as being forwarding22:19
g_well i was wondering if the 64 bit would 'downgrade' itself to work 32 bit software22:19
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: what is your connection speed22:20
webinatorhold on let me check22:20
webinator5.80 mb down .15 up amd 113 ms ping.22:22
phoenix_firebrdwebinator: ok, go to ktorrent settings -> network22:22
