bipolarSonsee: You would have to setup the sudo command you want to run in the sudoers file so it doesn't require a password.00:27
Sonseebipolar: I've solved this issue. I have now another question. Command emerald --replace is in script which is in .kde/Autostart. But it crashes and Compiz starts just fine. Any suggestions?00:28
Sonseeif I run "by hands" it works00:29
bipolarSonsee: not really... but is there a reason kwin doesn't do what you need?00:29
Sonseebipolar it does not have the effects of minimizing and etc. that compiz does. Maybe I'm wrong?00:30
bipolarSonsee: I think it does.00:31
Sonseeok. all what I have in Desktop Effects is one effect which I don't like. So how can I install additional effects?00:31
SonseeI mean minimize and maximaze windows effect00:32
bipolarI don't know for sure. I barely use the effects. If it's not listed under the 'all effects' tab I don't think I can help you.00:33
SonseeSo, there you go ;)00:33
bipolarI sure wouln't mess with replacing kwin just for a couple effects though. the integration is really tight.00:34
SonseeI would :)00:34
bipolarAlso, I'm running Lucid, so I'm a version behind.00:34
SonseeI hate gnome, but I love the effects of compiz. So, I don't a compromise here ...00:35

walkerhi everybody, where's the dang upgrade mngr in 8.10?06:15
walkeranybody know if it's safe to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.4?06:17
hrnawhy not to go straight to 10.04 ?06:18
walkerall the instructions I've seen say go only one step at a time, then the next06:19
hrnawell, that's true06:20
walkeran I can't afford to screw up right now06:20
hrnascrewing up is what no one likes to do06:20
walkerare you sure?06:20
walkerI thought hackers loved their problems06:21
hrnafor sure i dont06:21
walkerme neither, I just want the dang thing to work06:21
walkerI don't mind putting in some effort, that's what it's all about, but jeez06:22
hrnai dont know if it is just me, but i feel like 10.04 was a lot more stable (at least on my machine) than 10.10, i experience a lot of crashes with kwin and sometimes kdm just decide to restart throwing me out from my current session...06:23
hrnait's really frustrating for example if you're doing something important at that moment06:23
walkerwell I don't know, but I get the feeling that hardware has it's preferences06:23
hrnahmm06:24
hrnai shouldnt have anything wrong with my hardware06:25
walkersome machines seem to want to stay with older versions06:25
hrnaor then it just dont fit with mine06:25
walkeryeah06:25
DarthFroghrna: I've not experienced any such glitches as you describe.  Sounds like you have an adverse interaction in your system somewhere, something that would lead to the description that walker made about hardware.06:25
DarthFroghrna: What video card do you have and what drivers are you using?06:26
hrnaDarthFrog, gf9500 with nvidia 260.x drivers06:26
hrnafrom repositories06:26
DarthFrogthat's an older card, isn't it?06:27
hrnathis all began after the update to 10.10 (propably KDE4.5.x06:27
hrna)06:27
hrnait's a bit older yes06:27
DarthFrogHave you tried using older drivers?06:27
hrnano i havent06:27
DarthFrogActually, if it were me, I'd try the 2d nv driver and see if that removed the problem.  If so, you know that the problem is likely with the video driver.06:28
hrnait might be the video driver, havent been facing any of these problems while running without compositing06:29
DarthFrogHang on a sec, isn't the nVidia 9500 card one of the ones that nVidia put out with a missing layer on the CPU fabrication?06:30
hrnai've got no idea06:30
hrnamaybe i will just go and buy something "modern" piece of hardware06:30
DarthFrogIt's worth researching.  nVIdia cheaped out a few years back and tried to get away with an inferior fabbing that omitted a layer.  The resultant cards that used these chips are very prone to overheating and failure.06:31
hrnaso you are saying that it might be caused by overheating or just plain failure to produce good chip for my use06:35
hrnaas far as i know, the temp. havent got too high, the max i've seen is +55c06:35
DarthFrogIt's a possibility.06:36
DarthFrogIf you have one of the bum chips, then you can expect more and more flaky behaviour from it as it ages.06:36
hrnaim going to bank today to close my old account and also withdrawing the money from my old savings account, i might go straight to buy new graphics card :P06:37
DarthFrogI recall HP and Apple having to alter/extend warranties because of nVidia's fsck-up.06:37
hrnaDarthFrog, so, i nVidia still shipping out this junk?06:38
hrnais*06:38
DarthFrogWell, get a new card if you want but be aware that doing so might not solve the problem.06:38
hrnahave to try older drivers first06:38
walkerdo you have any spare different cards around to test it06:39
hrnai have my old radeon 2400hd or whatever it is06:39
DarthFrogI doubt it.  They were very heavily criticised at the time.  I expected the company to fold over the issue and am surprised they didn't.  Naturally enough in this day and age, they refused to admit there was any problem whatsoever.06:39
hrnabut it's not usable with KDE06:39
DarthFrogWhy not?06:39
DarthFrogAMD is very well supported in Linux these days.  I have a Radeon 5770 and it works great in Kubuntu.06:40
hrnaok have to admit that it was in my older machine, it just fucked up everything if compositing was turned on06:40
DarthFrog!language06:41
ubottuPlease watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.06:41
hrnaops06:41
DarthFrogGive your old AMD card a shot.  You can always take it out again. :-)06:41
hrnaanyhow, it was annoying so i went and got nVidia06:42
DarthFrogYeah, AMD used to really suck with Linux.  I have a Radeon 9850 gathering dust that I was never able to use properly.06:42
hrnathis card is quite a bit old as well06:43
hrnaat that time it didnt even have appropriate drivers06:44
DarthFrogIf it worked well in 10.04 you could always go back to that version.  It is a LTS afterall.06:44
hrnaor maybe im just looking for enough good reason to buy a new graphics card06:45
hrnabeen planning for a while already06:45
hrnabut i will just try out older drivers06:45
DarthFrogWorth a shot.06:46
walkerI think I would like to get newer machines with intel i5 or i706:48
walkergetting tired of the struggle06:48
DarthFrogWhat do you have now?06:49
hrnaor maybe i could try out newer drivers as well, there's a mention that they've fixed several bugs causing opengl applications to crash etc.06:50
walkerbuilt a new celeron pc with low cost Gigabyte board06:51
DarthFrogThey come with a money-back guarantee. :-)06:51
walkerI'm ok for now06:51
walkerbut I want to upgrade to kubuntu 10.10 so I can use newer kde and kexi06:52
walkerI caint find good intel on how the upgrade will go06:53
walkeranybody know where good instructions are for going from 8.10 to 9.4 ?06:54
DarthFrogwalker: Then don't upgrade.  Instead do a new install on a separate partition and run them side-by-side.06:54
walkerWhat?06:54
walkero ok06:54
walkerthat's a thought06:54
walkerDarthFrog: good idea06:55
DarthFrogIt doesn't commit you, you still have your old working system to fall back upon.06:56
walkeryep06:56
DarthFrogDo you have a separate /home partition?06:56
walkeran I will still get to use the new stuff06:56
walkerno this machine is all bunched up06:57
DarthFrogOK.  I was thinking that 8.10 was a KDE 3.5 version.  I couldn't remember.06:57
DarthFrogIn which case you'd have to jump through some hoops to share that partition between 8.10 and 10.1006:58
DarthFrogBut if it's a KDE 4.x version, there'd be no problem.06:59
walkerhoop jumpin06:59
hrnaalright, it seems that ubuntu repositories had not updated the nvidia drivers, they were still old and somewhat 5 days ago were released new set of drivers with bunch of fixes, let see if this is going to help me out07:25
hrnaanyone upgraded flashplayer from repositories and running kubuntu 64bit? i just did and now flash isnt working07:37

raynopI am new to linux and are amazed at what I am seeing07:55
raynopis there anyone here that perhaps can assist me in the installation of linuxmce?07:56
HRPufnstuflinux is cool, what distro you got?07:56
raynopkde 10.1007:57
raynoper, sorry kubuntu 10.1007:57
HRPufnstufthat's the desktop environment, not the distro07:57
HRPufnstufyea07:57
bigbrovarraynop: your best best would be the #linuxmce channel07:57
raynopthank you very much07:58
raynopit is frustrating to learn linux as I am too used to ms07:58
raynopbut slowly but surely I am learning the ropes07:58
HRPufnstuflinux has a long learning curve, 6 months - 1 year07:58
bigbrovarmost of us have been there07:59
bigbrovarI started my own journey 2007 and I have never looked back since07:59
HRPufnstuf1999 was my fist go at it, Slackware, then Debian08:00
HRPufnstufmanual instals and had to know everything about your hardware08:00
raynopI have to admit, I am very impressed with the desktop etc08:00
raynopbut, getting used to dong everything in the konsole, eish08:01
bigbrovarHRPufnstuf: wow thats like 100 years in computer time. I does it feel looking back at all the progress that has been made?08:01
raynop*doing08:01
HRPufnstufcommand line commands is alot to learn08:01
bigbrovarI mean I started during the Linux desktop / mainstream insurgence . I missed the good ol days08:01
HRPufnstufbigbrovar: The boys have been busy. It's become the elite OS.08:02
bigbrovaryeah I really wished I had started linux then. I started when things started getting better and GUI became more matured removing the need for cli08:02
bigbrovarwhat DE did you start with?08:02
raynopwhat I like about it is the good pubplicity linux got when ms marketed the last two mistakes :)08:02
HRPufnstufI'm still a newbie, really, just played around with many distros over the years, but I struggle still.08:03
HRPufnstufDE ???08:03

calderahi!08:04
HRPufnstufoh, goodness. I used X, gnome, KDE, Flux, all the old ones.08:04
bigbrovarcaldera: hi08:05
bigbrovarI have tried all the major distros too. never really been a fan of the slim distros my expectations are always too much. so I rather have the hardware and use the big boys instead08:06
HRPufnstufMy fave distro was Zenwalk08:07
calderahi!08:07
calderasome version of amsn or pidgi compatible with Kubuntu 8.04?08:07
bigbrovarstarted with gnome, had a brief stint with xfce went back to gnome then kde.. in between I have tried openbox, flux, icewm etc08:07
bigbrovarcaldera: I think there is a amsn version for kubuntu 8.0408:08
HRPufnstufbigbrovar: yea, I played around with all those DE's, too. KDE is best imho08:08
bigbrovaryep and I cant wait too see what kde 4.6 has to offer. there seem to be more about stabilization than features this days.08:09
bigbrovarand more and more areas are being fixed. like the new printing manager I heard kicks behinds08:09
bigbrovarand also  kwin got lots of smoothings, but for me the biggest expectation is kmail208:10

Same happens when i added "blacklist=vga16fb" to the grub bootup. I read that it's likely to be a video driver problem, ive got "VGA Compatible controller19:11
