=== jk_ is now known as mister_roboto [00:27] Sonsee: You would have to setup the sudo command you want to run in the sudoers file so it doesn't require a password. [00:28] bipolar: 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? [00:29] if I run "by hands" it works [00:29] Sonsee: not really... but is there a reason kwin doesn't do what you need? [00:30] bipolar it does not have the effects of minimizing and etc. that compiz does. Maybe I'm wrong? [00:31] Sonsee: I think it does. [00:31] ok. all what I have in Desktop Effects is one effect which I don't like. So how can I install additional effects? [00:32] I mean minimize and maximaze windows effect [00:33] I 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] So, there you go ;) [00:34] I sure wouln't mess with replacing kwin just for a couple effects though. the integration is really tight. [00:34] I would :) [00:34] Also, I'm running Lucid, so I'm a version behind. [00:35] I hate gnome, but I love the effects of compiz. So, I don't a compromise here ... [00:36] *see [01:15] does anyone know how to retrieve old IRC logs? [02:12] if i use openoffice and i send a file to someone that is using microsoft word would they be able to view it? [02:16] I think the short answer is yes....OOO lets you save in several file typs [02:16] how cai i download vlc player for kubuntu [02:18] anand: I believe it's in the repos ...hold I see witch one maby [02:18] vinny: oh yea...file type... have to be saved as a .doc right? *loosing her mind* [02:19] Roxy_: ya that's right :) [02:20] is der is any way to spped up my dialup connection in kubuntu??

[05:54] pushkaraj: the kubuntu one does. [05:56] was just wondering where could i get the package list of compilation for the dvd and cd? [06:15] hi everybody, where's the dang upgrade mngr in 8.10? [06:17] anybody know if it's safe to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.4? [06:18] why not to go straight to 10.04 ? [06:19] all the instructions I've seen say go only one step at a time, then the next [06:20] well, that's true [06:20] an I can't afford to screw up right now [06:20] screwing up is what no one likes to do [06:20] are you sure? [06:21] I thought hackers loved their problems [06:21] for sure i dont [06:21] me neither, I just want the dang thing to work [06:22] I don't mind putting in some effort, that's what it's all about, but jeez [06:23] i 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] it's really frustrating for example if you're doing something important at that moment [06:23] well I don't know, but I get the feeling that hardware has it's preferences [06:24] hmm [06:25] i shouldnt have anything wrong with my hardware [06:25] some machines seem to want to stay with older versions [06:25] or then it just dont fit with mine [06:25] yeah [06:25] hrna: 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. [06:26] hrna: What video card do you have and what drivers are you using? [06:26] DarthFrog, gf9500 with nvidia 260.x drivers [06:26] from repositories [06:27] that's an older card, isn't it? [06:27] this all began after the update to 10.10 (propably KDE4.5.x [06:27] ) [06:27] it's a bit older yes [06:27] Have you tried using older drivers? [06:27] no i havent [06:28] Actually, 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. [06:29] it might be the video driver, havent been facing any of these problems while running without compositing [06:30] Hang 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] i've got no idea [06:30] maybe i will just go and buy something "modern" piece of hardware [06:31] It'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. [06:35] so you are saying that it might be caused by overheating or just plain failure to produce good chip for my use [06:35] as far as i know, the temp. havent got too high, the max i've seen is +55c [06:36] It's a possibility. [06:36] If you have one of the bum chips, then you can expect more and more flaky behaviour from it as it ages. [06:37] im 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 :P [06:37] I recall HP and Apple having to alter/extend warranties because of nVidia's fsck-up. [06:38] DarthFrog, so, i nVidia still shipping out this junk? [06:38] is* [06:38] Well, get a new card if you want but be aware that doing so might not solve the problem. [06:38] have to try older drivers first [06:39] do you have any spare different cards around to test it [06:39] i have my old radeon 2400hd or whatever it is [06:39] I 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] but it's not usable with KDE [06:39] Why not? [06:40] AMD is very well supported in Linux these days. I have a Radeon 5770 and it works great in Kubuntu. [06:40] ok have to admit that it was in my older machine, it just fucked up everything if compositing was turned on [06:41] !language [06:41] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:41] ops [06:41] Give your old AMD card a shot. You can always take it out again. :-) [06:42] anyhow, it was annoying so i went and got nVidia [06:42] Yeah, AMD used to really suck with Linux. I have a Radeon 9850 gathering dust that I was never able to use properly. [06:43] this card is quite a bit old as well [06:44] at that time it didnt even have appropriate drivers [06:44] If it worked well in 10.04 you could always go back to that version. It is a LTS afterall. [06:45] or maybe im just looking for enough good reason to buy a new graphics card [06:45] been planning for a while already [06:45] but i will just try out older drivers [06:46] Worth a shot. [06:48] I think I would like to get newer machines with intel i5 or i7 [06:48] getting tired of the struggle [06:49] What do you have now? [06:50] or 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. [06:51] built a new celeron pc with low cost Gigabyte board [06:51] They come with a money-back guarantee. :-) [06:51] I'm ok for now [06:52] but I want to upgrade to kubuntu 10.10 so I can use newer kde and kexi [06:53] I caint find good intel on how the upgrade will go [06:54] anybody know where good instructions are for going from 8.10 to 9.4 ? [06:54] walker: Then don't upgrade. Instead do a new install on a separate partition and run them side-by-side. [06:54] What? [06:54] o ok [06:54] that's a thought [06:55] DarthFrog: good idea [06:56] It doesn't commit you, you still have your old working system to fall back upon. [06:56] yep [06:56] Do you have a separate /home partition? [06:56] an I will still get to use the new stuff [06:57] no this machine is all bunched up [06:57] OK. I was thinking that 8.10 was a KDE 3.5 version. I couldn't remember. [06:58] In which case you'd have to jump through some hoops to share that partition between 8.10 and 10.10 [06:59] But if it's a KDE 4.x version, there'd be no problem. [06:59] hoop jumpin [07:25] alright, 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 out [07:37] anyone upgraded flashplayer from repositories and running kubuntu 64bit? i just did and now flash isnt working === patrick is now known as MintBerryCrunch [07:54] hello [07:55] I am new to linux and are amazed at what I am seeing [07:56] is there anyone here that perhaps can assist me in the installation of linuxmce? [07:56] linux is cool, what distro you got? [07:57] kde 10.10 [07:57] er, sorry kubuntu 10.10 [07:57] that's the desktop environment, not the distro [07:57] yea [07:57] raynop: your best best would be the #linuxmce channel [07:58] thank you very much [07:58] it is frustrating to learn linux as I am too used to ms [07:58] but slowly but surely I am learning the ropes [07:58] linux has a long learning curve, 6 months - 1 year [07:59] most of us have been there [07:59] I started my own journey 2007 and I have never looked back since [08:00] 1999 was my fist go at it, Slackware, then Debian [08:00] manual instals and had to know everything about your hardware [08:00] I have to admit, I am very impressed with the desktop etc [08:01] but, getting used to dong everything in the konsole, eish [08:01] HRPufnstuf: wow thats like 100 years in computer time. I does it feel looking back at all the progress that has been made? [08:01] *doing [08:01] command line commands is alot to learn [08:01] I mean I started during the Linux desktop / mainstream insurgence . I missed the good ol days [08:02] bigbrovar: The boys have been busy. It's become the elite OS. [08:02] yeah I really wished I had started linux then. I started when things started getting better and GUI became more matured removing the need for cli [08:02] what DE did you start with? [08:02] what I like about it is the good pubplicity linux got when ms marketed the last two mistakes :) [08:03] I'm still a newbie, really, just played around with many distros over the years, but I struggle still. [08:03] DE ??? [08:03] may I ask questions on how to do things I can't get working in this channel? [08:04] Desktop Enviroment [08:04] I like playing with python too. [08:04] raynop: sure u can. [08:04] hi! [08:04] oh, goodness. I used X, gnome, KDE, Flux, all the old ones. [08:05] caldera: hi [08:06] I 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 instead [08:07] My fave distro was Zenwalk [08:07] hi! [08:07] some version of amsn or pidgi compatible with Kubuntu 8.04? [08:07] started with gnome, had a brief stint with xfce went back to gnome then kde.. in between I have tried openbox, flux, icewm etc [08:08] caldera: I think there is a amsn version for kubuntu 8.04 [08:08] bigbrovar: yea, I played around with all those DE's, too. KDE is best imho [08:09] yep 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] and more and more areas are being fixed. like the new printing manager I heard kicks behinds [08:10] and also kwin got lots of smoothings, but for me the biggest expectation is kmail2 [08:10] bigbrovar, can you give me the link please? [08:10] Escuchar [08:10] Leer fonéticamente [08:10] caldera: just sudo apt-get install amsn ? [08:11] u can always search amsn from synaptic or adept as the case may be [08:12] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [08:12] amsn: Depends: tcltls but it is not going to be installed [08:12] E: Broken packages [08:12] help me [08:14] caldera: u have to first do a sudo apt-get update [08:14] it seems to me that some repositories are not enabled [08:16] ok [08:16] I'll try [08:16] thanks! [08:33] please, also i need that help me to install flash player. [08:33] my browser is firefox 3.6 on kubuntu 8.04 [08:43] caldera: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:46] I have done so, but the browser keeps asking me the plugin [08:46] caldera: have you restarted the browser since installing the plugin? [08:49] That I did, but I can not even watch videos! [08:51] still tells me to install the missing plugin [08:51] juddi [08:51] jussi [08:51] still tells me to install the missing plugin [08:52] !tab | caldera [08:52] caldera: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:53] caldera: Im not sure then. sounds strange [08:54] ok, anyway thanks! [08:54] if I want to run mythtv, do download and install it or is there a away that I can enable it in kde? [08:57] there's a mythtv channel if noone here knows raynop [08:58] thanx [08:59] raynop mythtv has apackage, just download the package and it wil do it all for you [08:59] thank you [09:00] raynop: myth actually works better on KDE than gnome [09:00] ah, I have the new kubuntu 10.10, so it will work beautifully then [09:01] sorry for all of the questions :) [09:01] raynop: should be fine [09:01] which linux distro is the best for local and internet based ftp servers? freenas? [09:01] there isn't a "best" [09:01] any will do fine [09:01] it's how you set them up [09:02] thanx, I thought there might be one specifically created for the task [09:04] no [09:04] keep in mind this channel only support kubuntu [09:08] as I can add this channel #kubuntu-es [09:08] ?
