[00:57] Hello all. Has anyone ever dealt with various URLs coming back as invalid? [00:57] Currently, I can't hit anything with "netflix.com" [00:57] I restarted nscd, but that didn't do anything [01:03] netflix.com working fine here [01:05] 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] Yeah, it happens to me from time to time [01:06] Different sites suddenly won't display [01:06] I get Invalid URL all over the place [01:07] draik: but no likely clue as to what is causing the problem? [01:08] draik: what happens if you ping those sites? [01:14] jmichaelx: http://pastebin.com/VxpKehCf [01:16] draik: strange.... that seems to indicate that you are able to see the site just fine [01:18] And now the site loads. [01:19] I go yell now. [01:19] draik: what DNS servers are you using? [01:21] Google [01:22] hola [01:26] draik: i have had a few momentary issues with google DNS, but nothing significant [01:31] 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] is it a laptop or an optical mouse and when does this happen? [01:37] can somebody do me a favor and post a message to the screen with billytwowilly: to start? I'm testing out weechat.. [01:38] billytwowilly: [01:38] billytwowilly: testing [01:38] there is #test for that :) [01:39] thanks. [01:39] it worked. [01:39] I appreciate the help. [01:57] moetunes: It happens with both my trackpad and optical mouse [01:57] moetunes: It happens all the time, I can just move it right off the screen [01:58] at the left and right sides? [01:58] moetunes: just top and left it seems [01:59] elijah: the mouse leans to the right doesn't it? [01:59] moetunes: Not following you? [01:59] moetunes: I can move it way off the top and left and it takes a while to get back [02:00] mine seems to disappear on the right and bottom 'cause it leans left [02:00] hmm [02:00] elijah: check the screen resolution then [02:01] moetunes: checked, 1280x800 nividia settings [02:02] look right to me [02:02] elijah: sounds like somethings up with your vid cards driver then - using the one from nvidia or the repos [02:02] the proprietary one [02:02] does it happen with a diff driver? [02:03] i will try [02:03] where do i change it again? [02:06] found it [02:06] I don't know anything about using proprietry drivers sorry [02:06] k [02:07] applications/system/add. drivers' [02:42] 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] 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] depends on what the questions are [03:09] 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] 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] is there something I can do about this or am I stuck with it, and not too difficult to do? [03:10] 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] yea and i'm using kubuntu 10.10 [03:12] and i want kubuntu because fedora i can't get some other more important things working [03:13] can anyone help :( [03:13] I don't use that chipset and don't have any experience with it [03:14] hmm, i'll try using the drivers i found when i get back to the machine [04:16] 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] FloridaGuy: you add ppa:kubuntu-ppa to your repositories [04:20] update, and then upgrade [04:21] valorie, then that will add the lastest kde to the repo [04:21] yes [04:21] that's exactly how I did it a few weeks ago [04:22] ok [04:23] 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] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [04:24] weird -- your link opens the gpg key [04:24] I would just do it again [04:25] i added it the way you said [04:27] can you look at your list of repositories, and see if there is an obvious error somewhere? [04:27] because this looks wrong: 'ppa.launchpad.net:http' [04:28] see that? === bryan is now known as Guest21107 === programmer is now known as Guest6471 [04:46] can someone please tell me where the wallpapers are stored? [04:47] i downloaded wallpapers using the desktop settings tool...but i dont knwo where they are storeed === bigbrovar_ is now known as bigbrovar === micro is now known as Guest15374 === ahmed is now known as Guest64915 === Guest64915 is now known as hamoza [06:36] how do I stop KDE's network management applet (so that I can run nm-applet) [06:37] I don't think you need to stop it [06:38] $ nm-applet --replace [06:38] An instance of nm-applet is already running. [06:39] and it's not. [06:41] why the --replace? [06:41] 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] So, I suppose that it sees KDE network manager, and barks [06:42] ok - you tried to pkill it? [06:43] pkill what? [06:43] there's no 'nm-applet' in ps output [06:43] KDE network manager [06:43] well, it's apparently not a program any longer [06:44] it's plasma plugin of some sort [06:44] does ps aux | grep net show it? [06:44] no [06:45] does ps aux | grep -i net show it? [06:46] it is called NetworkManager iirc - with a capital N [06:46] kill `pidof NetworkManager` [06:46] It's NetworkManager daemon, not KDE's UI for it. [06:47] and nm-applet need daemon to work [06:50] I've no idea then - I don't use any network managers [06:50] gotta uninstall KDE one, as last resort [06:51] wicd works for alot of ppl [06:57] I'd much rather write openconnect support for KDE, in the long term ;-) [06:58] and, if wicd does not support VPN, it's kinda useless [06:59] there's something on the wicd home page about that === michael is now known as Guest63512 [07:26] i cannot install anything I download and nothing makes sense on the web [07:27] hi [07:28] does any know how to lock the laptop keyboard, so I can put a book on top of it? [07:29] anyone there? [07:30] so nobody knows how to do anyhting [07:30] what they knows, then? [07:30] food and woman? [07:31] i cant install anything I download and nothing makes sense on the web [07:32] hello. i'm using kubuntu in failsafe gui mode currently [07:34] 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] this is why people stick with windows cause they can actually get help with their problems [07:36] any suggestions about something to try would be welcome [07:37] the only significant thing I recall doing is uninstalling the mysql server [07:37] nobody knows nothing in here [07:37] what i can tell sofar [07:40] can anybody say anything at least [08:02] zztr: is your /tmp full? [08:03] 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] zztr: it could be the session manager trying to load something - though I'd expect it to get further. [08:03] zztr: you can also tail /var/log/messages to see if there is anything significant there. [08:04] webinator: more details - what are you trying to install/download, what happens when you do .. [08:05] webinator: The silence here is probably a lot to do with timezones [08:13] frogonwheels: thanks. I have to quit since I can't move windows around in this mode it seems [08:14] control shift f2 does nothing in this mode [08:14] zztr: ctrl+alt+F2 should get you to the linux console [08:14] you should tell ppl how to get back too [08:14] oh there it is. great, i just misread. [08:15] moetunes: good point [08:15] :) [08:15] ctrl - alt - f7, correct? [08:15] zztr: to get back you press alt+F7 (or alt+F8 sometimes) [08:15] not the ctrl you only need that when going from Xwindows [08:21] well it seems the ext3fs maximal mount count is reached [08:22] i have no idea how. i have one external drive that's fat [08:22] zztr: oh weird presumably it's one of your primary partitions? [08:23] it is a partitioned drive. the other partition is osx... [08:23] but why does that matter... it's not ext3 [08:24] and if it doesn't mount, that's fine anyway [08:24] zztr: well is it your main partition that reaches the mount count? [08:24] zztr: look even so, it shouldn't stop you from loging in. [08:25] where would all the other mount points come from?? [08:25] or is the max number suddenly really low like 1 [08:25] how do i check this stuff [08:25] zztr: typically for ext3 it's quite high.. [08:28] zztr: errm tune2fs -l apparently [08:29] zztr: sudo tune2fs -l /dev/??? [08:30] there's probably something erroring out and remounting - check the size of the log files [08:31] there's a lot in /var/log/messages. too much to go through. nothing jumps out at me [08:32] Excuse me,but is there anybody here? [08:32] nope :) [08:32] we're all hiding. [08:32] Er [08:33] cristie: ;) just ask your question [08:34] Do any body install the Adobe Reader 9.0? [08:34] what happened when you tried, cristie? [08:34] I can`t find the way to uninstall it. [08:34] cristie: how did you install it? [08:34] That`s the problem [08:35] I get the .deb from adobe.com [08:35] cristie: ok - then that should just uninstall from your favourite package manager [08:36] But I can`t find it in the Ubuntu Software Center [08:37] did you install it with dpkg -i ? [08:37] I think I did not [08:37] moetunes: probably installed it with that kde package installer thing, whatever it's called [08:37] moetunes: which log files? [08:38] Ok. [08:38] zztr: I would do ls -lh /var/log/ [08:38] zztr: the total is on the first line [08:38] frogonwheels: fiddling with tune2fs, doesn't seem to be happy with anything in /dev [08:39] I think I find the way to deal with it [08:39] zztr: did you sudo ? [08:39] cristie: you found the package? [08:39] frogonwheels:Year [08:40] But not it the Software center [08:40] frogonwheels: yes [08:40] frogonwheels:I find the files.There is an 'uninstall' in it. [08:41] moetunes: 8.8m total, biggest logs are dpkg.log.1 and daemon.log.1 [08:41] frogonwheels:But thank you the same.You know I am new to Linux. [08:41] cristie: hmm.. really you should use the package manager [08:41] cristie: it would be _much_ better if you did [08:42] that's ok then - obviously no large amounts of messages being written [08:42] moetunes: both 1.3m [08:42] cristie: do you know what the filename of adobe is called (the executable)? [08:42] frogonwheels:yes,I agree. [08:42] zztr: I have had logs that were 60m + due to errors [08:42] cristie: you can find the package name with dpkg-query -S [08:43] cristie: and then you can sudo dpkg -r [08:44] frogonwheels:em [08:44] cristie: from 'konsole' [08:44] frogonwheels:I get it. [08:46] moetunes: ah that sounds scary [08:47] moetunes: yeah - I've had GB logs that filled up the disk-space and thus nothing started :) [08:55] frogonwheels: ok i was wrong. /dev/sda4 doesn't give an error message and has real output [09:00] i gotta sleep for work tomorrow. thank you very much for your help! i'll of course look at this again [09:01] 'night! === marcusw is now known as runlevelten [09:10] is there any way to make kopete minimise to the task bar like it used to?

Go to the ffmpeg site for a very connvincing tutorial as to why cli is superior to gui clunkiness :) [18:45] BluesKaj: I know how to use ffmpeg cli... but I am looking for a good gui for ffmpeg or mencoder [18:45] BluesKaj: like format factory on windows [18:45] BluesKaj: although it is not perfect but way better than winff [18:47] apparle, if you find a perfect converter app , pls let me know [18:48] BluesKaj: I am thinking of writing a gui for both ffmpeg and mencoder [18:48] apparle, be my guest :) [18:50] BluesKaj: but if I get enough time. [18:51] 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] winff already does that [18:55] no matter apparle , I still prefer ffmpeg for conversion and if your looking at conversion to dvd , tovid is a good one [19:00] has someone else icq-problems?

[19:49] sorry Cragdor I am not using Nvidia on 10.10 yet [19:50] hey [19:50] can someone please tell me how to configure ktorrent [19:50] 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] I always have problems with new things in linux heheh [19:51] lol [19:52] skafti_: just add a *.torrent file to ktorrent and start loading [19:52] anyone has used lirc mouse successfully in maverick? [19:52] 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] what about vuze [19:53] does not seem to find port... i am a totall dunce in this [19:53] that card is not the kind that has one of those pre bios things is it? [19:54] Pre BIOS thing? As far as i am aware its just a standard card [19:55] 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] Yeah, most NVIDIA do that [19:56] so is yours starting at bios? [19:58] 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] radar, cragdor, I think you're referring to c hoosing the pci card as the default in the BIOS , right ? [19:59] 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] yeah i did that fight before [20:00] I remember installing a cheap video card just to get x server to work and installed driver for new card [20:01] cragdor, yeah check the kmenu/apps/system/additional drivers or HW drivers , I guess the defaults are proprietary now [20:01] i am sure ther is a better way but I dont know of one [20:01] ohh that sounds better [20:02] I have the 8400gs and it's using the nvidia-current 260.19.06 [20:03] 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] cragdor, yeah, interesting , my old 7600gt is using the 260.19.21 , yet this 8400gs continues to use the older driver [20:06] Hello? Sorry disconnected for a second [20:06] cragdor, yeah, interesting , my old 7600gt is using the 260.19.21 , yet this 8400gs continues to use the older driver [20:08] ok i need to get back to work boss just showed up [20:08] take it easy guys [20:09] 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] Bye Radar === dani is now known as Guest1964 [20:11] cragdor, yeah it's the 260.19.06 [20:14] Hello.

But now usin kTorrent and installing packets its at around 400kb/s [21:56] hello [21:56] webinator, have you configued them the same? [21:56] Speed is more a protocol issue than a software issue, it's dependant on many things [21:57] yeah. using same computer router and isp. one was on windows other on linux [21:59] and same tracker. [21:59] There are protocol configurations, max number of connections, max upload slots, download slot etc all dictate the speed. === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [22:00] Different pieces of software have different default settings [22:00] I configured all the same. [22:00] I suggest you find a website that lists the best settings for your connection. [22:00] I'll check that out. [22:00] You could have just been lucky before heh [22:01] maybe, it was nice to download 23 gb movies in a couple of hours [22:01] 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] also I cannot seem to seed the same torrents I was when using uTorrent. [22:03] i a noob to all this stuff [22:04] 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] ai just checked and its downloading at around 41.33 KiB/s. whats that in mb [22:06] Hi all [22:09] webinator: i had the same problem in the beginning. after tweaking ktorrent , the speed has increased well. [22:10] what did you do to change it [22:10] webinator: did you forward the required ports? [22:11] I think I did i have been having trouble with it [22:12] webinator: did you use the plugin provided in ktorrent [22:12] i dont know [22:12] i get the same speed when installing packets too [22:13] can you see the tab named plugin in the left side that is green? [22:13] yeah [22:14] click that [22:14] ok [22:14] webinator: in the botton you will find Upnp, check that [22:15] its already checked [22:15] webinator: goto the torrents window [22:15] k [22:16] on the bottom right can you see the upnp? [22:16] yes [22:16] hi guys, for a new installation on an amd 64bit 4gig machine, am i tied to the 64bit version? [22:16] can you see the ports forwared there? [22:16] yeah there are three there [22:17] then the ports are forwared [22:17] ok [22:17] webinator: settings->configure ktorrent [22:17] g_, no, you can use 32 bit if you like :-) [22:18] But you won't be able to access the full 4gig [22:18] afaik [22:18] now they all say connectio refused [22:18] webinator: bittorrent [22:18] Khas: which would be money wasted ;) [22:19] Why wouldn't you want to use the 64bit though? :-D [22:19] webinator: select everything except send the tracker a custom ip.. [22:19] now they are showing up on my router as being forwarding [22:19] well i was wondering if the 64 bit would 'downgrade' itself to work 32 bit software [22:20] webinator: what is your connection speed [22:20] hold on let me check [22:22] 5.80 mb down .15 up amd 113 ms ping. [22:22] webinator: ok, go to ktorrent settings -> network [22:23] k [22:23] webinator: select "use the utorrent transport protocol" [22:23] k [22:23] webinator: select utp in primary protocol [22:24] k [22:24] webinator: thats primary transport protocol [22:24] webinator: click the recommended settings button [22:24] k [22:25] webinator: enter the upload and download bandwidths [22:25] webinator: press calculate [22:26] my bandwidth changes a lot cause i use clearwire i can get about 4-8 mb download and 1 mb upload [22:27] webinator: use a average value [22:27] k === shorty is now known as Guest88449 [22:29] k calculated [22:30] webinator: how may simultaneous downloads you do inn utorrent previously [22:30] 2 [22:31] webinator: there is a setting for that . select that and enter 2 [22:32] k. it says maxium seeds 1, but I need to seed to keep my ratio up for my tracker [22:33] its ok, we can edit that manually, now press apply [22:34] k [22:34] webinator: settings-> queue manager. there set the maximum seeds to how much ever you want [22:35] k [22:37] try ktorrent nnow and give me a feedback [22:38] k, now how do i switch seeding torrents from uTorrent to kTorrent.

[22:54] phoenix_firebrd: that is the linux filesystem check [22:55] id-10-t: i want you to use the disk check in windows [22:55] id-10-t: i think its chkdsk [22:55] phoenix_firebrd: I'm going to try to reinstate MBR for windows first and then fix grub later [22:56] phoenix_firebrd: I forgot I can't get 10.04 to boot on this laptop (I think) because of the core i5.
