[00:57] <draik> Hello all. Has anyone ever dealt with various URLs coming back as invalid?
[00:57] <draik> Currently, I can't hit anything with "netflix.com"
[00:57] <draik> I restarted nscd, but that didn't do anything
[01:03] <jmichaelx> netflix.com working fine here
[01:05] <jmichaelx> when 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?
[01:06] <draik> Yeah, it happens to me from time to time
[01:06] <draik> Different sites suddenly won't display
[01:06] <draik> I get Invalid URL all over the place
[01:07] <jmichaelx> draik: but no likely clue as to what is causing the problem?
[01:08] <jmichaelx> draik: what happens if you ping those sites?
[01:14] <draik> jmichaelx: http://pastebin.com/VxpKehCf
[01:16] <jmichaelx> draik: strange.... that seems to indicate that you are able to see the site just fine
[01:18] <draik> And now the site loads.
[01:19] <draik> I go yell now.
[01:19] <jmichaelx> draik: what DNS servers are you using?
[01:21] <draik> Google
[01:22] <elholo_> hola
[01:26] <jmichaelx> draik: i have had a few momentary issues with google DNS, but nothing significant
[01:31] <elijah> I am using Kubuntu 10.10, my mouse keeps disappearing off the screen, is there a way I can keep my mouse on the screen?
[01:34] <moetunes> is it a laptop or an optical mouse and when does this happen?
[01:37] <billytwowilly> can somebody do me a favor and post a message to the screen with billytwowilly: to start? I'm testing out weechat..
[01:38] <moetunes> billytwowilly:
[01:38] <jmichaelx> billytwowilly: testing
[01:38] <moetunes> there is #test for that :)
[01:39] <billytwowilly> thanks.
[01:39] <billytwowilly> it worked.
[01:39] <billytwowilly> I appreciate the help.
[01:57] <elijah> moetunes: It happens with both my trackpad and optical mouse
[01:57] <elijah> moetunes: It happens all the time, I can just move it right off the screen
[01:58] <moetunes> at the left and right sides?
[01:58] <elijah> moetunes: just top and left it seems
[01:59] <moetunes> elijah:  the mouse leans to the right doesn't it?
[01:59] <elijah> moetunes: Not following you?
[01:59] <elijah> moetunes: I can move it way off the top and left and it takes a while to get back
[02:00] <moetunes> mine seems to disappear on the right and bottom 'cause it leans left
[02:00] <elijah> hmm
[02:00] <moetunes> elijah:  check the screen resolution then
[02:01] <elijah> moetunes: checked, 1280x800 nividia settings
[02:02] <elijah> look right to me
[02:02] <moetunes> elijah:  sounds like somethings up with your vid cards driver then - using the one from nvidia or the repos
[02:02] <elijah> the proprietary one
[02:02] <moetunes> does it happen with a diff driver?
[02:03] <elijah> i will try
[02:03] <elijah> where do i change it again?
[02:06] <elijah> found it
[02:06] <moetunes> I don't know anything about using proprietry drivers sorry
[02:06] <moetunes> k
[02:07] <elijah> applications/system/add. drivers'
[02:42] <pabloz> hey, need some guidance here: I'm on a vps, where do you think would be more appropriate to install a website's cleanup script, as a crontab or inside cron.daily?
[03:07] <Vivius> Hey 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!
[03:08] <chuckf> depends on what the questions are
[03:09] <Vivius> I 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] <Vivius> I looked for nForce linux drivers but they are like 2 years out of date, it recognises the card fine, but only works in mono
[03:10] <Vivius> is there something I can do about this or am I stuck with it, and not too difficult to do?
[03:10] <shashi_irc> I 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 ?
[03:11] <Vivius> yea and i'm using kubuntu 10.10
[03:12] <Vivius> and i want kubuntu because fedora i can't get some other more important things working
[03:13] <Vivius> can anyone help :(
[03:13] <chuckf> I don't use that chipset and don't have any experience with it
[03:14] <Vivius> hmm, i'll try using the drivers i found when i get back to the machine
[04:16] <FloridaGuy> how 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 9.04
[04:20] <valorie> FloridaGuy: you add ppa:kubuntu-ppa to your repositories
[04:20] <valorie> update, and then upgrade
[04:21] <FloridaGuy> valorie, then that will add the lastest kde to the repo
[04:21] <valorie> yes
[04:21] <valorie> that's exactly how I did it a few weeks ago
[04:22] <FloridaGuy> ok
[04:23] <FloridaGuy> Failed 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] <FloridaGuy> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[04:24] <valorie> weird -- your link opens the gpg key
[04:24] <valorie> I would just do it again
[04:25] <FloridaGuy> i added it the way you said
[04:27] <valorie> can you look at your list of repositories, and see if there is an obvious error somewhere?
[04:27] <valorie> because this looks wrong: 'ppa.launchpad.net:http'
[04:28] <valorie> see that?
[04:46] <mrcreativity> can someone please tell me where the wallpapers are stored?
[04:47] <mrcreativity> i downloaded wallpapers using the desktop settings tool...but i dont knwo where they are storeed
[06:36] <volodya> how do I stop KDE's network management applet (so that I can run nm-applet)
[06:37] <moetunes> I don't think you need to stop it
[06:38] <volodya> $ nm-applet --replace
[06:38] <volodya> An instance of nm-applet is already running.
[06:39] <volodya> and it's not.
[06:41] <moetunes> why the --replace?
[06:41] <volodya> because (i) nm-applet has no man page at all and (ii) I've tried all possible options to make it start anyway
[06:42] <volodya> So, I suppose that it sees KDE network manager, and barks
[06:42] <moetunes> ok - you tried to pkill it?
[06:43] <volodya> pkill what?
[06:43] <volodya> there's no 'nm-applet' in ps output
[06:43] <moetunes>  KDE network manager
[06:43] <volodya> well, it's apparently not a program any longer
[06:44] <volodya> it's plasma plugin of some sort
[06:44] <moetunes> does   ps aux | grep net   show it?
[06:44] <volodya> no
[06:45] <moetunes> does   ps aux | grep -i net   show it?
[06:46] <moetunes> it is called NetworkManager iirc - with a capital N
[06:46] <moetunes>  kill `pidof NetworkManager`
[06:46] <volodya> It's NetworkManager daemon, not KDE's UI for it.
[06:47] <volodya> and nm-applet need daemon to work
[06:50] <moetunes> I've no idea then - I don't use any network managers
[06:50] <volodya> gotta uninstall KDE one, as last resort
[06:51] <moetunes> wicd works for alot of ppl
[06:57] <volodya> I'd much rather write openconnect support for KDE, in the long term ;-)
[06:58] <volodya> and, if wicd does not support VPN, it's kinda useless
[06:59] <moetunes> there's something on the wicd home page about that
[07:26] <webinator> i cannot install anything I download and nothing makes sense on the web
[07:27] <lenik> hi
[07:28] <lenik> does any know how to lock the laptop keyboard, so I can put a book on top of it?
[07:29] <lenik> anyone there?
[07:30] <webinator> so nobody knows how to do anyhting
[07:30] <lenik> what they knows, then?
[07:30] <lenik> food and woman?
[07:31] <webinator> i cant install anything I download and nothing makes sense on the web
[07:32] <zztr> hello. i'm using kubuntu in failsafe gui mode currently
[07:34] <zztr> i 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 fan
[07:35] <webinator> this is why people stick with windows cause they can actually get help with their problems
[07:36] <zztr> any suggestions about something to try would be welcome
[07:37] <zztr> the only significant thing I recall doing is uninstalling the mysql server
[07:37] <webinator> nobody knows nothing in here
[07:37] <webinator> what i can tell sofar
[07:40] <webinator> can anybody say anything at least
[08:02] <frogonwheels> zztr: is your /tmp full?
[08:03] <frogonwheels> zztr: 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] <frogonwheels> zztr: it could be the session manager trying to load something - though I'd expect it to get further.
[08:03] <frogonwheels> zztr:  you can also tail /var/log/messages  to see if there is anything significant there.
[08:04] <frogonwheels> webinator: more details -  what are you trying to install/download, what happens when you do  ..
[08:05] <frogonwheels> webinator: The silence here is probably a lot to do with timezones
[08:13] <zztr> frogonwheels: thanks. I have to quit since I can't move windows around in this mode it seems
[08:14] <zztr> control shift f2 does nothing in this mode
[08:14] <frogonwheels> zztr:  ctrl+alt+F2  should get you to the linux console
[08:14] <moetunes> you should tell ppl how to get back too
[08:14] <zztr> oh there it is. great, i just misread.
[08:15] <frogonwheels> moetunes: good point
[08:15] <moetunes> :)
[08:15] <zztr> ctrl - alt - f7, correct?
[08:15] <frogonwheels> zztr:   to get back you press alt+F7    (or alt+F8 sometimes)
[08:15] <frogonwheels> not the ctrl  you only need that when going from Xwindows
[08:21] <zztr> well it seems the ext3fs maximal mount count is reached
[08:22] <zztr> i have no idea how. i have one external drive that's fat
[08:22] <frogonwheels> zztr: oh weird  presumably it's one of your primary partitions?
[08:23] <zztr> it is a partitioned drive. the other partition is osx...
[08:23] <zztr> but why does that matter... it's not ext3
[08:24] <zztr> and if it doesn't mount, that's fine anyway
[08:24] <frogonwheels> zztr:  well is it your main partition that reaches the mount count?
[08:24] <frogonwheels> zztr: look even so, it shouldn't stop you from loging in.
[08:25] <zztr> where would all the other mount points come from??
[08:25] <zztr> or is the max number suddenly really low like 1
[08:25] <zztr> how do i check this stuff
[08:25] <frogonwheels> zztr: typically for ext3 it's quite high..
[08:28] <frogonwheels> zztr: errm tune2fs -l   apparently
[08:29] <frogonwheels> zztr:  sudo tune2fs -l /dev/???
[08:30] <moetunes> there's probably something erroring out and remounting - check the size of the log files
[08:31] <zztr> there's a lot in /var/log/messages. too much to go through. nothing jumps out at me
[08:32] <cristie> Excuse me,but is there anybody here?
[08:32] <moetunes> nope :)
[08:32] <frogonwheels> we're all hiding.
[08:32] <cristie> Er
[08:33] <frogonwheels> cristie:  ;) just ask your question
[08:34] <cristie> Do any body install the Adobe Reader 9.0?
[08:34] <frogonwheels> what happened when you tried, cristie?
[08:34] <cristie> I can`t find the way to uninstall it.
[08:34] <frogonwheels> cristie: how did you install it?
[08:34] <cristie> That`s the problem
[08:35] <cristie> I get the .deb from adobe.com
[08:35] <frogonwheels> cristie: ok - then that should just uninstall from your favourite package manager
[08:36] <cristie> But I can`t find it in the Ubuntu Software Center
[08:37] <moetunes> did you install it with   dpkg -i   ?
[08:37] <cristie> I think I did not
[08:37] <frogonwheels> moetunes: probably installed it with that kde package installer thing, whatever it's called
[08:37] <zztr> moetunes: which log files?
[08:38] <cristie> Ok.
[08:38] <moetunes> zztr:  I would do   ls -lh /var/log/
[08:38] <moetunes> zztr:  the total is on the first line
[08:38] <zztr> frogonwheels: fiddling with tune2fs, doesn't seem to be happy with anything in /dev
[08:39] <cristie> I think I find the way to deal with it
[08:39] <frogonwheels> zztr: did you sudo ?
[08:39] <frogonwheels> cristie: you found the package?
[08:39] <cristie> frogonwheels:Year
[08:40] <cristie> But not it the Software center
[08:40] <zztr> frogonwheels: yes
[08:40] <cristie> frogonwheels:I find the files.There is an 'uninstall' in it.
[08:41] <zztr> moetunes: 8.8m total, biggest logs are dpkg.log.1 and daemon.log.1
[08:41] <cristie> frogonwheels:But thank you the same.You know I am new to Linux.
[08:41] <frogonwheels> cristie:  hmm.. really you should use the package manager
[08:41] <frogonwheels> cristie: it would be _much_ better if you did
[08:42] <moetunes> that's ok then - obviously no large amounts of messages being written
[08:42] <zztr> moetunes: both 1.3m
[08:42] <frogonwheels> cristie: do you know what the filename of adobe is called (the executable)?
[08:42] <cristie> frogonwheels:yes,I agree.
[08:42] <moetunes> zztr:  I have had logs that were 60m + due to errors
[08:42] <frogonwheels> cristie: you can find the package name with  dpkg-query -S  <name>
[08:43] <frogonwheels> cristie: and then you can  sudo dpkg -r <packaeg>
[08:44] <cristie> frogonwheels:em
[08:44] <frogonwheels> cristie: from 'konsole'
[08:44] <cristie> frogonwheels:I get it.
[08:46] <zztr> moetunes: ah that sounds scary
[08:47] <frogonwheels> moetunes: yeah - I've had GB logs  that filled up the disk-space and thus nothing started :)
[08:55] <zztr> frogonwheels: ok i was wrong. /dev/sda4 doesn't give an error message and has real output
[09:00] <zztr> i gotta sleep for work tomorrow. thank you very much for your help! i'll of course look at this again
[09:01] <zztr> 'night!
[09:10] <poyntz> is there any way to make kopete minimise to the task bar like it used to?
[09:11] <poyntz> if i click the x everything closes..
[09:16] <ashmi__> does anybody know about progress for mesa, blur and kde 4.5?
[09:29] <aleksey> всем привет
[09:37] <crissi> hello
[09:39] <crissi> i still have problems with kde4 slowdown after a while (konsole for example with 20 ~ tabs open, switching to konsole or between tabs cause 100% cpu and needs 1-3 s), typing in quassel and sending msg also slow
[10:35] <FlashDeluxe> hi! i want a script to start after booting, do i realize it by making a symlink from /etc/rc2.d/S20bla on my script?
[10:37] <naftilos76> hi everyone, is there an app in linux preferably a KDE app that can send SMS at low rates or even free through other gateways?
[10:52] <moetunes> I think you'll need to find somewhere online to do that
[11:37] <naftilos76> anyone familiar with any KDE SIP app that supports sending SMS as well just like Twinkle?
[11:45] <cuznt> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440

[11:50] <cuznt> any ideas?

[12:41] <scaraffe> Is there a command called "screen_it" in ubuntu?
[12:42] <scaraffe> found here: http://github.com/vishvananda/novascript/blob/master/nova.sh#L153
[12:49] <bamba> hi i'm new and i want to know more
[13:08] <dany__> hi all
[13:09] <dany__> can you tell me if I can use the normal network manager and the wpasupplicant?
[13:27] <workingonwise> am I seeing this right? I am on Kubuntu 10.04, fresh install plus just Chromium, so out of the box, and I see 210mb of ram is all thats used?
[13:29] <workingonwise> seems all the eye candy is on so it would seem. I was under the impression that KDE was heavier that Gnome.
[13:35] <[mors]> hello

[14:28] <napier> bluesut shutdown can shut down the pc but cause many problems in my desktop
[14:30] <BluesKaj> napier, paste the error messages in http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , copy the url and post it here

[14:41] <napier> blueskaj, this is the problem with kshutdown in kubuntu 10.10: to activate the desktop takes a long time and the button to turn off the computer does not work and the desktop effects are disabled
[14:42] <wn1zid> ok, now on boot, it says 'hda intel' no codes installed
[14:44] <BluesKaj> !intelhda |  wn1zid , try this tutorial , it should help install the right driver
[14:44] <wn1zid> ok, thanks
[14:49] <selsper> Yo, I've just installed kubuntu today and I pressed something on the taskbar and now all of the open windows seem to have gone
[14:50] <napier> this is the problem with kshutdown in kubuntu 10.10 but the parameter sudo halt doesnt report error : to activate the desktop takes a long time and the button to turn off the computer does not work and the desktop effects are disabled
[14:50] <selsper> Was that in response to me?
[14:52] <selsper> napier, were you replying to me then? If so I don't understand what you said
[14:52] <BluesKaj> selsper, no he wasn't
[14:53] <napier> was for bleskaj my question?
[14:53] <selsper> Ahhh, awesome. Can somebody help me please?
[14:55] <BluesKaj> selsper, you probly clicked on the desktop window icon, you can run several desktops simultaneously , the default is 2 ..look for a little square in the panel
[14:55] <BluesKaj> there  should be 2
[14:56] <selsper> I see them
[14:58] <selsper> is posting images to the channel allowed? it would be easier to explain that way
[14:58] <BluesKaj> napier, I'm sorry I have no idea what could be wrong with your machine , one thing you might try is the additional drivers in the kmenu/applications/system
[14:59] <BluesKaj> sel post an image on a webpage and post the url here like imagebin.com
[14:59] <BluesKaj> !imagebin
[15:00] <napier> bleskaj i have the nvidia drivers installed
[15:00] <selsper> ok
[15:00] <BluesKaj> !tab | napier
[15:00] <selsper> so when i minimize a window it seems to just close
[15:02] <napier> ubottu: ok thanks
[15:03] <BluesKaj> selsper, install taskmanger widget in the panel
[15:03] <selsper> ahhh so simple
[15:03] <selsper> I hate being a complete noob :P
[15:03] <selsper> cheers
[15:03] <BluesKaj> napier, are you using the recommended driver?
[15:03] <Havoc][> hello togther
[15:04] <Havoc][> doese anyone have the same Problem with authenticating with kopete against ICQ?
[15:05] <BluesKaj> Havoc][, there was someone in here yesterday withat problem , but i dunno whether they solved it
[15:05] <Havoc][> hm
[15:05] <Havoc][> thanks, BluesKaj
[15:06] <BluesKaj> icq...din't know ppl still used that
[15:06] <Havoc][> sadly most of my contacts does :-(
[15:07] <BluesKaj> !ICQ
[15:07] <BluesKaj> hmm
[15:19] <webinator> i cant install anything I download and nothing on the web helps
[15:22] <webinator> I'm a noob to linux and really dont know anything but want to learn
[15:24] <moetunes> kubuntu comes with lots of packages
[15:24] <moetunes> !packages
[15:24] <Havoc][> ah! Found a Workarround in #kopete: Topic for #kopete: ICQ fix: preferences->setup->change account settings->override server "login.icq.com"
[15:26] <webinator> like I tried following the steps to istall uTorrent but some of the steps just dont work
[15:27] <moetunes> utorrent is a windows app - you can't use them in linux - there's ktorrent for torrenting
[15:28] <moetunes> !info ktorrent
[15:28] <webinator> but you can run with samba i thought
[15:28] <moetunes> not with samba - the app is called wine
[15:28] <moetunes> !wine
[15:28] <webinator> isorry wine but it doesnt work
[15:29] <webinator> or cannot open once installed
[15:29] <moetunes> it is way easier to use the native apps
[15:29] <rascranasingha> exactly
[15:29] <webinator> I cannot get none of my torrents to seed properly
[15:30] <webinator> Im part of a private tracker and nothing is uploading
[15:30] <moetunes> webinator:  you need to ask in the wine channel about using windows apps in it - do   /j #winehq
[15:30] <webinator> k
[15:31] <webinator> then if i download something like a different desktop how do i go about installing it
[15:31] <moetunes> depends on the desktop
[15:31] <wn1zid> heh, cant seem to get it operating
[15:32] <moetunes> most add an entry to the session button at login
[15:32] <webinator> well i wish i cantalk more nut i gotta go to work. see you guys when i get home.
[15:44] <selsper> I'm fairly certain I've installed flash, but it's not working
[15:46] <BluesKaj> selsper, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer
[15:47] <selsper> BluesKaj:  thank you
[15:48] <BluesKaj> selsper, it should work for you
[15:49] <selsper> I 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?
[15:50] <selsper> BluesKaj:
[15:52] <BluesKaj> selsper, install libdvdcss2 to run/copy DRM protected dvds
[15:53] <BluesKaj> not familiar with vimeo , selsper
[15:53] <selsper> I don't have any drm protected dvds to run
[15:54] <selsper> vimeo is like yt it uses flash, I was trying to see if that worked too, or wether the problem was exclusive to yt
[15:54] <BluesKaj> well, it's still good to have..another you might check is ffmpeg
[15:55] <selsper> Alright
[15:55] <BluesKaj> the flashplugin-installer should solve any browser falsh plugin probs , selsper
[15:55] <BluesKaj> err flash
[15:56] <selsper> :P I understood
[15:58] <BluesKaj> BBL
[16:09] <olskolirc> hey how do I make my own plasma panels please?
[16:16] <DiogenesW> servus
[16:17] <neon> hi  any one like to chat
[16:19] <noaXess> in kate i enable the tabify plugin.. on each restart of kate, it's gone.. any idea?
[16:34] <cuznt> faydriss@Faydriss:/etc$ kdesudo kate sudoers sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting <~~~ what happened?
[16:37] <cuznt> the last thing i did was sudo gadmin-samba and now my sudo is broke
[17:00] <Bala> Hello
[17:01] <Bala> can anyone here help me
[17:08] <DarthFrog> !ask | bala
[17:16] <anihilat> somebody know how to make vlc to show cyrylic fonts (russian)?
[18:14] <apparle> is there a good video converter for qt/kde/linux
[18:15] <apparle> I have somehow messed my system, such that winebrowser is the default on my system. where do I fix it?
[18:18] <BluesKaj> apparle, ffmpeg is a good cli video converter
[18:18] <rork> apparle: System Settings > Default Applications normally
[18:18] <apparle> a good gui
[18:19] <apparle> rork: it is alright there
[18:20] <BluesKaj> the gui version of ffmpeg is winff, apparle
[18:21] <apparle> BluesKaj: but is it good, does it have all the options?
[18:24] <DiogenesW> gute nacht
[18:25] <BluesKaj> apparle, http://winff.org/html_new/
[18:25] <BluesKaj> !de | DiogenesW
[18:25] <DiogenesW> ubottu i think you can stand those few words
[18:26] <DiogenesW> oh
[18:26] <BluesKaj> ok DiogenesW , good evening to you too :)
[18:33] <apparle> BluesKaj: winff is dumb
[18:43] <BluesKaj> apparle, 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 :)
[18:45] <apparle> BluesKaj: I know how to use ffmpeg cli... but I am looking for a good gui for ffmpeg or mencoder
[18:45] <apparle> BluesKaj: like format factory on windows
[18:45] <apparle> BluesKaj: although it is not perfect but way better than winff
[18:47] <BluesKaj> apparle, if you find a perfect converter app , pls let me know
[18:48] <apparle> BluesKaj: I am thinking of writing a gui for both ffmpeg and mencoder
[18:48] <BluesKaj> apparle, be my guest :)
[18:50] <apparle> BluesKaj: but if I get enough time.
[18:51] <apparle> BluesKaj: 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 that
[18:53] <BluesKaj> winff already does that
[18:55] <BluesKaj> no matter apparle , I still prefer ffmpeg for conversion and if your looking at conversion to dvd , tovid is a good one
[19:00] <der8im> has someone else icq-problems?
[19:00] <BluesKaj> seems so , with kopete and empathy
[19:34] <apparle> why doesn't dexconf generate any xorg.conf file
[19:47] <cragdor> Hi
[19:48] <cragdor> I 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 clues
[19:48] <radar> can anyone tell me a channel to ask apache questions?
[19:49] <radar> sorry Cragdor I am not using Nvidia on 10.10 yet
[19:50] <skafti_> hey
[19:50] <skafti_> can someone please tell me how to configure ktorrent
[19:50] <cragdor> thanks 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 work
[19:51] <radar> I always have problems with new things in linux heheh
[19:51] <cragdor> lol
[19:52] <plan_rich> skafti_: just add a *.torrent file to ktorrent and start loading
[19:52] <apparle> anyone has used lirc mouse successfully in maverick?
[19:52] <cragdor> I 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 vuze
[19:53] <skafti_> does not seem to find port... i am a totall dunce in this
[19:53] <radar> that card is not the kind that has one of those pre bios things is it?
[19:54] <cragdor> Pre BIOS thing? As far as i am aware its just a standard card
[19:55] <radar> not 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 first
[19:55] <cragdor> Yeah, most NVIDIA do that
[19:56] <radar> so is yours starting at bios?
[19:58] <cragdor> infact 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 supported
[19:58] <BluesKaj> radar, cragdor, I think you're referring to c hoosing the pci card as the default in the BIOS , right ?
[19:59] <cragdor> BluesKaj, Radar, I choose PCIExpress in the Bios: But it seems to be a issue with the propriatary driver not recognising the card as supported
[20:00] <radar> yeah i did that fight before
[20:00] <radar> I remember installing a cheap video card just to get x server to work and installed driver for new card
[20:01] <BluesKaj> cragdor, yeah check the kmenu/apps/system/additional drivers or HW drivers , I guess the defaults are proprietary now
[20:01] <radar> i am sure ther is a better way but I dont know of one
[20:01] <radar> ohh that sounds better
[20:02] <BluesKaj> I have the 8400gs and it's using the nvidia-current 260.19.06
[20:03] <cragdor> Radar, 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 though
[20:05] <BluesKaj> cragdor, yeah, interesting , my old 7600gt is using the 260.19.21 , yet this 8400gs continues to use the older driver
[20:06] <cragdor> Hello? Sorry disconnected for a second
[20:06] <BluesKaj> cragdor, yeah, interesting , my old 7600gt is using the 260.19.21 , yet this 8400gs continues to use the older driver
[20:08] <radar> ok i need to get back to work boss just showed up
[20:08] <radar> take it easy guys
[20:09] <cragdor> BluesKaj : 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] <cragdor> Bye Radar
[20:11] <BluesKaj> cragdor, yeah it's the  260.19.06
[20:14] <Khas> Hello.  X is using 346meg, is this normal for kubuntu? o.o
[20:20] <BluesKaj> Khas, mine's using 260 ,  so it's not so high
[20:20] <Khas> Ah, ok
[20:20] <Khas> I'm just trying to get a feel for KDE4
[20:20] <Khas> Now it's more mature
[20:20] <Khas> I used it on gentoo at 4.1, things have moved on
[20:22] <Khas> is anyone here running it on an HP Touchsmart TX2?
[20:37] <Kanethornwyrd> salut à tous ! hi all !
[20:49] <Kanethornwyrd> Did someone know when the last kernel patches will be available by up manager ?
[21:53] <webinator> how 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/s
[21:56] <webinator> hello
[21:56] <Khas> webinator, have you configued them the same?
[21:56] <Khas> Speed is more a protocol issue than a software issue, it's dependant on many things
[21:57] <webinator> yeah. using same computer router and isp. one was on windows other on linux
[21:59] <webinator> and same tracker.
[21:59] <Khas> There are protocol configurations, max number of connections, max upload slots, download slot etc all dictate the speed.
[22:00] <Khas> Different pieces of software have different default settings
[22:00] <webinator> I configured all the same.
[22:00] <Khas> I suggest you find a website that lists the best settings for your connection.
[22:00] <webinator> I'll check that out.
[22:00] <Khas> You could have just been lucky before heh
[22:01] <webinator> maybe, it was nice to download 23 gb movies in a couple of hours
[22:01] <rork> webinator: 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 downloads
[22:02] <webinator> also I cannot seem to seed the same torrents I was when using uTorrent.
[22:03] <webinator> i a noob to all this stuff
[22:04] <webinator> Ill 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.
[22:06] <webinator> ai just checked and its downloading at around 41.33 KiB/s. whats that in mb
[22:06] <g4> Hi all
[22:09] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: i had the same problem in the beginning. after tweaking ktorrent , the speed has increased well.
[22:10] <webinator> what did you do to change it
[22:10] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: did you forward the required ports?
[22:11] <webinator> I think I did i have been having trouble with it
[22:12] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: did you use the plugin provided in ktorrent
[22:12] <webinator> i dont know
[22:12] <webinator> i get the same speed when installing packets too
[22:13] <phoenix_firebrd> can you see the tab named plugin in the left side that is green?
[22:13] <webinator> yeah
[22:14] <phoenix_firebrd> click that
[22:14] <webinator> ok
[22:14] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: in the botton you will find Upnp, check that
[22:15] <webinator> its already checked
[22:15] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: goto the torrents window
[22:15] <webinator> k
[22:16] <phoenix_firebrd> on the bottom right can you see the upnp?
[22:16] <webinator> yes
[22:16] <g_> hi guys, for a new installation on an amd 64bit 4gig machine, am i tied to the 64bit version?
[22:16] <phoenix_firebrd> can you see the ports forwared there?
[22:16] <webinator> yeah there are three there
[22:17] <phoenix_firebrd> then the ports are forwared
[22:17] <webinator> ok
[22:17] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: settings->configure ktorrent
[22:17] <Khas> g_, no, you can use 32 bit if you like :-)
[22:18] <Khas> But you won't be able to access the full 4gig
[22:18] <Khas> afaik
[22:18] <webinator> now they all say connectio refused
[22:18] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: bittorrent
[22:18] <g_> Khas: which would be money wasted ;)
[22:19] <Khas> Why wouldn't you want to use the 64bit though? :-D
[22:19] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: select everything except send the tracker a custom ip..
[22:19] <webinator> now they are showing up on my router as being forwarding
[22:19] <g_> well i was wondering if the 64 bit would 'downgrade' itself to work 32 bit software
[22:20] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: what is your connection speed
[22:20] <webinator> hold on let me check
[22:22] <webinator> 5.80 mb down .15 up amd 113 ms ping.
[22:22] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: ok, go to ktorrent settings -> network
[22:23] <webinator> k
[22:23] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: select "use the utorrent transport protocol"
[22:23] <webinator> k
[22:23] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: select utp in primary protocol
[22:24] <webinator> k
[22:24] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: thats primary transport protocol
[22:24] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: click the recommended settings button
[22:24] <webinator> k
[22:25] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: enter the upload and download bandwidths
[22:25] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: press calculate
[22:26] <webinator> my bandwidth changes a lot cause i use clearwire i can get about 4-8 mb download and 1 mb upload
[22:27] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: use a average value
[22:27] <webinator> k
[22:29] <webinator> k calculated
[22:30] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: how may simultaneous downloads you do inn utorrent previously
[22:30] <webinator> 2
[22:31] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: there is a setting for that . select that and enter 2
[22:32] <webinator> k. it says maxium seeds 1, but I need to seed to keep my ratio up for my tracker
[22:33] <phoenix_firebrd> its ok, we can edit that manually, now press apply
[22:34] <webinator> k
[22:34] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: settings-> queue manager. there set the maximum seeds to how much ever you want
[22:35] <webinator> k
[22:37] <phoenix_firebrd> try ktorrent nnow and give me a feedback
[22:38] <webinator> k, now how do i switch seeding torrents from uTorrent to kTorrent. I save all the hash info to my external harddirve to acess it easier.
[22:40] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: sorry dont know
[22:40] <webinator> k. Thanks for all your help.
[22:40] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: :)
[22:45] <id-10-t> Hey guys I need your help! I'm dual booting Win7 and 10.10 (with grub2). I defragged in Windows, rebooted, and now I get "error: no such partition" and "grub rescue>" prompt. Am I hosed?
[22:47] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: you crash your system
[22:48] <rork> id-10-t: nope, you can manually boot into linux and fix grub
[22:48] <phoenix_firebrd> rork: ya, but what about windows
[22:48] <id-10-t> rork: how to fix grub2? I've done it before with legacy, but not 2...
[22:49] <rork> id-10-t: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command%20Line%20and%20Rescue%20Mode
[22:49] <phoenix_firebrd> rork: what if the partition is corrupt?
[22:49] <rork> phoenix_firebrd, id-10-t: that could be an issue idd
[22:50] <id-10-t> rork: thanks, but that is a bit above my level. Is there a good guide to restoring grub2?
[22:50] <phoenix_firebrd> i think its safe to run check disk before doing anything
[22:52] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: are you there
[22:52] <id-10-t> yes.
[22:52] <id-10-t> I've just booted into Kubuntu 10.04 - the only disc i have.
[22:52] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: did you install kubuntu in a seperate partition?
[22:53] <id-10-t> yes
[22:53] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: ext4?
[22:53] <id-10-t> phoenix_firebrd: yes.
[22:53] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: can you do a disk check?
[22:54] <id-10-t> phoenix_firebrd: a fsck?
[22:54] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: is that a windows one?
[22:54] <id-10-t> phoenix_firebrd: that is the linux filesystem check
[22:55] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: i want you to use the disk check in windows
[22:55] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: i think its chkdsk
[22:55] <id-10-t> phoenix_firebrd: I'm going to try to reinstate MBR for windows first and then fix grub later
[22:56] <id-10-t> phoenix_firebrd: I forgot I can't get 10.04 to boot on this laptop (I think) because of the core i5.
[22:56] <id-10-t> I'll be back if I can't get it sorted out.
[22:56] <id-10-t> Thanks!
[22:56] <phoenix_firebrd> id-10-t: your partition is corrupt, you might loose data when you write a mbr
[23:02] <TheSqueak> hey all
[23:03] <TheSqueak> I'm looking for a program which will take a video file and spit out a jpeg made up of a selection of frames from various points in the video
[23:03] <TheSqueak> I know I used to have a great one in kde, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it
[23:03] <TheSqueak> anyone know it? :)
[23:03] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: you want to generate thumbails?
[23:03] <TheSqueak> yeah
[23:04] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: did you try the vlc snapshot feature?
[23:04] <TheSqueak> nope
[23:04] <TheSqueak> will that do the whole thing in one, or will I have to manually grab several frames and put them together myself?
[23:05] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: play the video , press shift+s when ever you want to take a snapshot
[23:05] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: it generate several frames
[23:06] <TheSqueak> yeah, but i'm being lazy :)
[23:06] <TheSqueak> and I remember a program which will do it all in one, I just load up the video and it generates a single jpeg with a table of 6 or so snapshots
[23:08] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: i dont a program yet, i will search for it
[23:08] <TheSqueak> I swear i'm just being really dumb tonight :)
[23:11] <kloz> 33
[23:15] <webinator> how do I access my external hard drive in the terminal
[23:17] <TheSqueak> did it automount?
[23:19] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: are you there?
[23:19] <webinator> yeah I figured it out
[23:20] <webinator> im testing out Linux on my netbook before I put it on my laptop when I buy it in a couple of days
[23:20] <phoenix_firebrd> webinator: good
[23:21] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: i am trying a app named cthumbs, i will tell if that works
[23:21] <TheSqueak> i've just literally this moment found it
[23:21] <TheSqueak> it's called videocut
[23:22] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: where did you find it?
[23:22] <TheSqueak> it's in the repos
[23:22] <TheSqueak> I found it by randomly trying to remember the name and using google :)
[23:23] <TheSqueak> ass
[23:23] <TheSqueak> it appears not to work
[23:23] <TheSqueak> dammit
[23:23] <TheSqueak> it segfaults every time
[23:23] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: wait, i will try it
[23:25] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: ya , i too get the same problem
[23:26] <moetunes>  bug time then
[23:26] <moetunes> !bug
[23:28] <webinator> after running sudo gedit script.sh in terminal i can't type anymore commands, ther is no line for the directory I'm in
[23:29] <TheSqueak> found something else which does it, and actually works
[23:29] <TheSqueak> http://developer.berlios.de/projects/gframecatcher
[23:31] <phoenix_firebrd> TheSqueak: http://moviethumbnail.sourceforge.net/
[23:32] <phoenix_firebrd> moetunes: most of the gtk apps crashes and stating a segmentation fault
[23:32] <moetunes> that's not good...
[23:32] <phoenix_firebrd> moetunes: i am experiancing this in 10.10
[23:33] <phoenix_firebrd> moetunes: gyachi, banshee
[23:34] <phoenix_firebrd> just to say, i dont like banshee , since it uses mono
[23:34] <moetunes> phoenix_firebrd:  try starting those apps from konsole - it might mention if something simple is missing
[23:35] <phoenix_firebrd> moetunes: i tried that already, segmentation fault is the only error message i am getting. what is you kubuntu version
[23:35] <moetunes> phoenix_firebrd:  I'm not on a kubuntu box atm
[23:36] <phoenix_firebrd> moetunes: ok
