[00:48] Hey, i just installed kubuntu, install proprietary drivers for my geforce8800 [00:49] then installed compiz [00:49] i can access nvidia's x server settings [00:49] but i can't get the 3d cube or wobble windows effect started [00:49] and probably none of the effects [00:50] !compiz [00:50] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [00:52] I haven't played with compiz in a long time, but I think you need to use a compiz config app [00:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion#For%20Kubuntu [00:52] veinos: ^^^ [00:53] veinos: kde uses its own thing for desktop effects [00:53] yah :) i did what i did in gnome version... [00:53] maybe i didn't use what i should have then :O [00:53] you have to basically replace the standard kwin with compiz [00:53] i guess i want to use kwin then !? [00:54] kwin has cube and wobbly windows, but admittedly less fancy effects [00:54] veinos: i'd give it a try first, at least [00:54] i access kwin settings into the desktop effect from the kde menu? [00:54] yah, i just assumed i needed to install compiz to get any effect at all [00:54] in system settings, you'll see a place for that [00:58] ok, seems i got the cube enable, but can't drag windows to other face due to that aero snap feature [01:00] I don't remember how the cube works, my hw is kinda old -I don't think you can drag n drop [01:00] is that feature hidden in effects ? or somewhere else? [01:01] the feature that when you drag a window to the side of the monitor and tries to fill half maximize half of it... [01:02] hum [01:02] the snap - it s somehwere [01:02] * claydoh looks [01:04] darn brb [01:04] i doubt that's the problem though [01:04] i can't even drag windows to desktop on bottom [01:05] that's weird [01:09] -help [01:10] this 3d cube seems as buchered as possible honestly [01:10] what's the use of it i fyou can't drag windows from face to face easily !? [01:13] ok i asked two question in this place two different days no one answered.... so i am going to ask this one question to see if i can getan answer what do i have to do to get someone to answer anything...to point this freaking noob thats wants to learn in the right direction to learn sth [01:15] Roxy_: sorry you didn't get an answer, but do remember sometimes people have to sleeep, eat, work, etc. so sometimes things can get missed [01:15] Roxy_: also maybe no one knew an answer when you asked? [01:16] veinos: I think kwin effects are simpler, more stable imo. but that means less features/blingitude [01:16] mmmkay, i just feel i'm doing it right though... [01:16] i can't even control the cube [01:17] Roxy_: I can also suggest asking questions on http://kubuntuforums.net or ubuntuforums [01:19] veinos: I can't get the cube :( [01:19] claydoh: diff. times of the day.... and it was simple questions.... yes -_- im upset and pissed off at djustice cuz he being an asshole... and other things mostly dealing with kubuntu and him. [01:20] !language [01:20] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:20] claydoh: thank you also for the links [01:20] default shortcut key being ctrl +F11 ... wtf with that lol [01:21] I understand how it works now though [01:21] veinos: there are other ways - you can set a screen corner to activate things as well [01:22] that would make more sense [01:22] but i like way better the ctrl+alt+mouse#1 action from compiz [01:22] veinos: you can make it that way :) [01:22] i tried to [01:23] the custom key binding won't allow it [01:23] or i don't know how to have the setting register my mouse click as a key binding [01:23] i think i'll just find a way to use compiz [01:24] i need some true bling bling [01:25] but then, i'll have to change a bunch of stuff i guess? [01:25] this is getting really confusing [01:27] veinos: using compiz to replace kwin isn't too difficult - I think you can shange that in system settings -- defualt applications -- window manager [01:27] oh [01:27] uoimay have to log out for the chang to happen, or something [01:27] and what will I lose in functionnality if i dump kwin?? [01:28] stability mostly, but I don't know [01:28] but no lost functionality afaik [01:29] i'll give it a try then [01:29] thanks [01:29] and if you do, switching back is easy [01:33] brb [01:35] hum, this did remove functionnality hehe [01:35] i don't have any close/minimize buttons anymore on every windows [01:35] even after restarting x [01:38] dunno, maybe the docs are outdated [01:38] that sounds familair but I don't knnow the fix [01:39] i'll try to ask google [01:46] i want to learn how to do some coding.... dont know much about it.....wheres a good place to start at? and if i want to pratice something in on it what is something where i can write the code in? [01:47] pratice something on kubuntu* [01:47] decide what language you want to learn first? :) [01:47] veinos: i was leaning toward c++. :P [01:48] yah, i think most of linux fits with that [01:48] I never did any linux code though, but i use visual studio [01:49] i think bloodshed c++ is open source and not bad? [01:49] veinos: i played with visual...a bit...til i got kbuntu...but not able to get on windows any more -_- lol.. [01:50] yah, i can understand that [01:50] visual studio is only thing that really impresses me from microsoft [01:53] :) lol use to be evertime i was on wndows i got pissed off with it...since i got kubuntu...been having less stress except the times i get mad when something goes wrong and cant find or understand a way to fix it [01:54] I didn't have your luck [01:54] i,m yet to find a 100% working install of any linux distro [01:55] linux mint was almost it... but then flash player would slow down a lot when playing online poker [01:56] now i'm trying to have kde barely working... [01:56] which seems impossible so far [01:56] >.> wow... god -_- this makes me scared of kubuntu now... lol [01:57] kubuntu went smoother so far [01:57] but linux mint kde was completely useless [01:57] i couldn't have my video card to run [01:57] >.> dang! [01:57] got help by two guy for 2-3h yesterday with no help [01:58] now i try to have compiz work [01:58] but it crashes windows decorator systematically [01:59] i'll reboot though brb [01:59] o.O! *starts reading a lot about everything but not rly cuz clueless on where to start* lol [01:59] k === jay is now known as Guest94617 [02:25] hey [02:25] did anyone manage to run compiz in kubuntu succesfully?? [02:33] What can i type in a terminal to see all the specs of my system, hardware? [02:34] how can I bind ctrl+alt+mouse click as a shortcut!? [02:46] how would I go about having different wallpapers per virtual desktop? [02:47] veinos: now that is a tough one iirc... [02:48] no way ! [02:48] * claydoh fires up the google or something [02:48] i basicaly changed to kde for that [02:48] thought it was a breeze [02:48] i just read it,s in desktop/multiple desktop settings but i can't find that [02:49] well not necessarily simple, but actually is a feature not fully re-implemented yet from the kde3 to kde4 move [02:49] man i'm not lucky with that ahah [02:51] does that multiple desktops menu sounds famliar to you? [02:51] Go to System Settings/Desktop/Multiple Desktops and check "Different activity for each desktop" option. [02:52] i think I found it [02:53] awesome [02:53] veinos: i beleive you did [02:54] i've search desktop in the menu search [02:54] thenclicked virtual desktop [02:54] and checked: Different widgets for each desktop [02:54] Hi, i'm brazilian [02:55] that also works for dual monitors, so one picture per monitor per virtual desktop [02:55] dang I do need a laptop that is younger than 7 years old :( [02:55] finally got something going :P [02:55] * claydoh is missing out [02:55] when i try to go to my windows os it goes to the windows loading screen then it flashes a blue screen then restarts back over to choose which one to go to... i member from when the person that was helping me with this stuff said something that i have to unmount windows everytime before i turn kununtu off.. could that be a reason for this problem to occur? [02:55] lol sorry being long [02:56] claydoh: * pats you on the back* it be okay... [02:57] @Roxy you nead to run chkdsk on it from windows [02:59] vinny: if it not a problem to answer how would i be able to do that if i am not able to get on windows? [03:00] is it XP [03:00] yes [03:01] eney way younead a xp,vista ,,, cd and boot to the recovery console [03:01] then run "chkdsk /p [03:01] vinny, you stalking me? [03:01] :D [03:01] :) [03:01] ya [03:02] dont have a place to put a cd into the computer i have a notebook. [03:03] sorry about not putting that into what i said up there [03:03] you could try from Kubuntu with ntfsprogs [03:04] I'v never done it so? [03:04] when I get a new email in kmail i get a notification but dont see the email until I restart kmail. can this be fixed? [03:06] from "man ntfsprogs" ntfsfix(8) - Check and fix some common errors, clear the LogFile and make Win‐ [03:06] dows perform a thorough check next time it boots. [03:06] what i just said is wrong. pls ignore my last question [03:09] is samba pre installed in kubuntu!!? [03:09] akonadi error - http://pastebin.com/qFWj1uDa [03:09] how can this be fixed? [03:10] nvm [03:19] HRPufnstuf: lshw [03:20] poyntz: live CD or installed? [04:20] DarkwingDuck: upgraded [04:30] poyntz: if you fire it up a second time does it still happen? [05:18] hi [05:19] i'm using kubuntu 10.10 netbook edition. in System Settings->Network Management, i've setup a working 'Mobile Broadband' connection, but where does it store that data? [05:27] hi guys [05:33] Gorroth: I'd guess ~/.kde [05:33] sysop1: hi [05:36] I have a buddy who just installed Kubuntu 10.04 on a laptop with a new motherboard (core 2 duo 2.2ghz, geforce 8500gs) When he logs in it shuts off instantly, but can sit at the login screen for hours without it shutting off [05:36] any ideas? [05:37] he tells me "I can log in but as soon as it loads all the desktop it shuts down" [05:42] hi dasKreech [05:43] OxDeadC0de: can he login on the terminal? [05:44] dasKreech: checking [05:45] ok [05:51] he tells me when he goes to term1 (control+alt+f1) it shows him a black screen with a blinking line and no login prompt... [05:52] er, blinking cursor* [05:52] and the livecd "seemed to have worked fine" [05:53] btw just wanted to give the kubuntu team a big thumbs up. 10.10 has fixed alot of issues I had. [05:53] and was a very smooth upgrade. [05:53] :D [05:54] almost have all the qemu sound issues worked out. [05:55] I can almost play netflix in a virtual machine. [05:55] dasKreech: wow, you were right. i was looking in all the wrong places to try and find this thing. didn't think it would store that in my local space, as i thought it would be something it set system-wide [05:56] dasKreech: and he was able to get to the terminal in xorg (failsafe mode?) [05:56] OxDeadC0de: can he get to alt+ctrl+F2 ? [05:56] Gorroth: :-) [05:58] no, black screen with blinking cursor only.. but we may have found the problem - overheating.. his cpu is at 125F and his gpu is 221F [05:59] running kubuntu 10.10 on this sucker, and it's fantastic [05:59] netbook edition [06:00] the netbook itself is pretty slow though. it's an aspire one AOD255 with N450 CPU from intel [07:01] hi === sony is now known as Guest29973 === patrick is now known as Guest95132 [08:07] Troubles... apt-get and aptitude both dump core. I can't report a bug with ubuntu-bug because it segfaults. [08:08] Some package in the latest upgrade broke apt. Maybe openssl? [08:10] you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt and look for error returns [08:12] Yes, weird stuff. sudo dpkg --configure -a 'fixed' it. [08:12] Tried the latest updates on another machine and there it worked. [08:13] well remeber that command for future reference then :) [08:14] I do hope aptitude doesn't dump core on me in the future. The command is usually only needed when packages are not completely installed. [08:14] Ah well. No harm done. Everything runs as usual again. [08:15] might pay to try a different mirror then === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [08:35] hi guys. how can I rotate a video? any video editing programs? [08:36] the desktop or a movie?

[11:31] hanthana: ah, you are Danishka, I just e-mailed you [11:31] I have changed the permisison for www n also have restarted the apache2 service [11:31] hanthana: for the installer see Ubiquity at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Translations [11:32] omkar: the permissions for cgi need to be set exactly, I don't remember what they are but make sure both the directory and the script are set right [11:32] might be 755 I'm not sure [11:33] Riddell: Yes! Sinhala [11:33] I had given 777 too but it didn't help [11:33] omkar: that'll be too open, it will require it to be more restricted [11:34] Riddell: yes, i replied back :) [11:34] but anyways it should atleast work right? [11:34] earlier it use to give me something like it worked = [11:35] omkar: no there are security mechanisms that stop it working if it's too open with permissions [11:36] ok [11:37] still the same [11:43] omkar: best ask on a server channel, this one is more desktop orientated [11:43] okie [11:43] i just think that i messed something in the config [11:43] i am trying to play with it [11:43] :) [11:43] thanx === larsivi_ is now known as larsivi [11:45] @Riddell [11:45] Problem is fixed :) [11:45] now the webpage is proper [11:45] :) [11:45] omkar: how did you fix it?
