algeneral | Hello everyone | 03:44 |
algeneral | I just installed compiz in favor of kwm. But I'm having some trouble with the blur plugin. It seems to blur over unfocused windows, but never blurs behind anything. I'm pretty sure this isn't the intended functionality | 03:45 |
algeneral | also, How can I get a version of compiz newer than 8.6-0 but older than 9.2 | 03:45 |
algeneral | preferably version 8.6-2 | 03:45 |
algeneral | which I know has good integration with kwm decorations | 03:46 |
algeneral | Also, how can I get fglrx 9.11? | 03:54 |
collabra | algeneral: just sayin hi.... | 04:18 |
collabra | algeneral: not sure as distros go that you can pick and choose what version of a program that gets put in them,... so the only way i see you picking the version is to gather the individual sources and compile them... | 04:20 |
collabra | algeneral: as far as fglrx,... lemmy see. | 04:21 |
collabra | 8.723 is the version currently in the 10.04 LTS,... if you are running 10.10 and it's not the version you want,... again, I think compilation is your only avenue of travel. | 04:24 |
algeneral | collabra: I suppose that's the route I'll go then. I was hoping for a PPA or something | 04:27 |
collabra | algeneral: ppa,... well maybey,... have you searched for a ppa? | 04:27 |
collabra | !ppa | 04:27 |
ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 04:27 |
algeneral | collabra: I googled. I didn't know about that particular resource, as I'm new to ubuntu. checking, just a sec. | 04:28 |
collabra | algeneral: hope i was of some help.... | 04:28 |
algeneral | collabra: no luck with the ppa archive :(. Thanks for your help though. | 04:31 |
collabra | algeneral: no problem | 04:32 |
collabra | algeneral: you might want to research compiling from source,... just to make sure the source you are compiling is fully compatible with the rest of the system... I'm just not that familiar with the process... but perhaps you already know. | 04:34 |
algeneral | I'm familiar with compiling from source | 04:34 |
algeneral | I'm still deciding on a course of action | 04:35 |
collabra | perhaps you could tell me if what you want to do will work? | 04:35 |
algeneral | You mean after I do it? | 04:35 |
collabra | are these diferent sources all compatible with each other, or....? | 04:35 |
collabra | these different versions....? | 04:36 |
collabra | are they all compatible,...? | 04:36 |
algeneral | Well, I'm not certain yet. I want to update compiz to the latest version available in ppas, but I've heard bad things about its compatibility with fglxr | 04:36 |
collabra | cuz... | 04:36 |
collabra | oh,.. | 04:36 |
algeneral | however, I'm thinking if I install the latest version of fglrx from the amd site, it might work well with compiz | 04:37 |
algeneral | I doubt fglrx will have too many dependencies to screw up, since it's a driver. | 04:37 |
algeneral | and those generally don't have many dependencies | 04:37 |
collabra | well,... arn't the newer versions of software generally compatible with the old,... | 04:37 |
collabra | to a certain degree,... that is. | 04:38 |
algeneral | well, according to a comment I read about the ppa, it broke the system of a guy using fglrx | 04:38 |
collabra | i would think mainly so.... but i really don't know. | 04:38 |
algeneral | as I'm also using fglrx, I'm hesitant | 04:38 |
collabra | what is fglrx? | 04:38 |
collabra | what's it's funcion. | 04:39 |
algeneral | fglrx is a video driver to control ATI cards | 04:39 |
collabra | ahh,.. i see,.. | 04:39 |
algeneral | so, at worst, I think it might break my xserver configuration. But I think I'm comfotable enough with the commandline to fix that | 04:39 |
algeneral | should anything go wrong | 04:39 |
collabra | so,... the version you want,... may not be compatible with fglrx... right? | 04:40 |
algeneral | alright. you've convinced me. I'm going to go for it :-P | 04:40 |
collabra | the version of compixz | 04:40 |
collabra | compiz | 04:40 |
algeneral | it might not be compatible with fglrx in general, or simply with the ubuntu default version of fglrx | 04:40 |
algeneral | probably the latter | 04:40 |
collabra | ah,.. i see,.. well,.. gl! | 04:41 |
algeneral | thanks | 04:41 |
collabra | i do need someone to walk me through some of these higher functions of debian that seem so essential to linux.... lol, i still haven't compiled a custom kernel... | 04:42 |
collabra | i'm terrified of breaking my system and then not knowing how to fix it.... | 04:43 |
collabra | oh well,... some of us have to be users, right? | 04:44 |
collabra | lol | 04:44 |
collabra | have a good day =) | 04:44 |
algeneral | collabra: the best way to learn is to break shit. | 04:49 |
ftg2 | it used to be allot easier; the install started broken. now most everything works out of the box. not as fun | 04:51 |
collabra | algeneral: lol,.. yeah, well, i got tired of breaking sh!t that i couldn't fix... And i got so tired of reloading my os,... well. I just quit trying to do the stuff i just don't have aptitude or understanding for. | 04:52 |
algeneral | ftg2: Well, if you're using ubuntu, yeah :-P | 04:52 |
collabra | ftg2: lol | 04:52 |
algeneral | also, ubuntu encourages you to give up, because it doesn't come with any way to do wireless management from the command line | 04:52 |
algeneral | first thing I install anytime I load up a new distro is ceni | 04:52 |
collabra | algeneral: i really think i'm going to prefer 'squeeze' to anything ubuntu.... | 04:53 |
collabra | ceni....? | 04:53 |
collabra | what is ceni.... | 04:53 |
algeneral | really easy commandline network management tool | 04:53 |
algeneral | you have to get it from scary places though | 04:53 |
collabra | algeneral: k,... i'll look at it... | 04:54 |
collabra | algeneral: oh,... it's not in these distros? | 04:54 |
algeneral | it's not in the ubuntu repo | 04:54 |
algeneral | no | 04:54 |
collabra | ahh,... well,... i suppose compiling is needed for that, huh? | 04:54 |
algeneral | oh, but! you guys do have a ppa for it | 04:54 |
algeneral | http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=ppa+ceni | 04:54 |
algeneral | I usually just install from the deb, or source when deb isn't an option | 04:55 |
collabra | algeneral: us guys,...? | 04:55 |
algeneral | ubuntu guys | 04:55 |
collabra | algeneral: k... lemmy look ceni up,... what does it do that other programs cant. | 04:55 |
lucas-arg | hey guys, for some reason when i click on restart kubuntu doesnt restart! or shutdown... i dont know whats wrong any help? | 04:56 |
algeneral | collabra: it allows you to connect to wireless networks from commandline. quickly, easily, and without ever touching a manpage | 04:57 |
algeneral | this is useful because ubuntu seems to rely on networkmanager to connect to anything | 04:57 |
algeneral | and network manager doesn't start until init 5 | 04:57 |
algeneral | you can run ceni from init 3 | 04:58 |
algeneral | lucas-arg: does typing reboot into console work? | 04:58 |
lucas-arg | algeneral: it does... | 04:59 |
lucas-arg | algeneral: its not that i dont have the options, i do have them on the menu, it just dont work... | 04:59 |
algeneral | yeah. It seems like a process might be preventing it from restarting | 05:00 |
algeneral | try closing out all running processes and trying again | 05:00 |
algeneral | though, honestly, it | 05:00 |
algeneral | will probably be easier just type reboot into the alt+f2 menu | 05:01 |
collabra | lucas-arg: try system settings and then login manager,... there is a option to only allow everyone, only root, or nobody in reference to shutdown options... | 05:01 |
lucas-arg | algeneral: i will see if i can force restart or shutdown without waiting to the procces to finish | 05:01 |
algeneral | lucas-arg: when you click restart in the kmenu. does that other dialog pop up that grays out the rest of your screen | 05:01 |
lucas-arg | algeneral: it just stays where i am... it doesnt happen anything | 05:03 |
collabra | lucas-arg: if it's set to nobody or root only,... it won't allow you to shutdown the system | 05:03 |
lucas-arg | collabra: if what is set to root only? | 05:03 |
collabra | lucas-arg: another possibility is filesystem corruption,... you may need to run a filesystem check,... if it's set to root,.. it will not let you shutdown the system | 05:04 |
collabra | lucas-arg: but i found a workaround that i use for that,... | 05:05 |
collabra | lucas-arg: i run: sudo su | 05:05 |
collabra | lucas-arg: then i run: passwd root | 05:05 |
lucas-arg | blacking root password is not a really good idea | 05:05 |
lucas-arg | blanking i meant | 05:06 |
collabra | lucas-arg: then,... i have my traditional sudo 'passwd' and a root one which i use to shutdown the system from the login menu. | 05:06 |
collabra | lucas-arg: it's not blanking the root password,.. it's adding one,... | 05:06 |
lucas-arg | collabra: ok let me see | 05:06 |
collabra | lucas-arg: not to mention,... i can su into a traditional root and can by-pass the sudo | 05:07 |
lucas-arg | collabra: it didnt help | 05:07 |
collabra | lucas-arg: well,... just remember you have a root password now.... | 05:08 |
collabra | lucas-arg: a traditional one,... that is. | 05:08 |
lucas-arg | sudo chmod u+s /sbin/reboot and shutdown | 05:09 |
lucas-arg | i will see if this works | 05:09 |
collabra | lucas-arg: i have to go here in a sec... but, have you thought of filesystem corruption. | 05:09 |
collabra | lucas-arg: well, god damn expert,... you know good and well what your options are,... :) why even ask.... sh!t,.. you guys who know but still ask crack me up.... | 05:10 |
collabra | makes my atempt at help seem useless... but, hey, I really don't know much command line anyway. | 05:12 |
collabra | gotta go,.. cya later. | 05:12 |
lucas-arg | that did work... | 05:13 |

orpras | Everything not to with flash works perfectly. | 07:40 |

orpras | When you open the page, there's a flash menu to pick the movie you want to watch, that doesn't appear. | 07:47 |

moetunes | ftg2: I doubt it comes in a package... | 18:55 |
ftg2 | it wouldn't surprise me. i got the java 6 api, python 2.6 api, and a c++ reference in -doc packages | 18:56 |

\ottizen | Hello! I have just installed Kubuntu on a notebook and it runs well. However, when I clicked on my wireless network (and typed in my password), nothing happens. It just "blinks", but I get no error or connection. What's the problem and how do I solve it? | 19:08 |
moetunes | \ottizen: I don't use wireless but from what I've seen on here alot of ppl have hassles with the kde network manager - you could try the gnome nm or install wicd as a workaround | 19:14 |

therock | is there any gui apps for configuring grub plymouth theme easier? | 20:07 |
collabra | therock: gui apps.... | 20:11 |
collabra | therock: for grub or plymouth.... | 20:11 |
collabra | therock: have you thoroughly searched kpackage kit for answers...? | 20:14 |
therock | collabra: you mean grub is different than plymouth? | 20:14 |
collabra | therock: cause' if you have adequate skills searching for what you need among the 20000 or more programs,... I can't tell you what you are already equipped to answer.... | 20:15 |
collabra | yes grub is different than plymouth | 20:16 |
moetunes | !find plymouth | 20:16 |

therock | i see. :) im looking for gui program to configure plymouth themes, for easier. | 20:17 |
collabra | therock: then you looking within kpackage... | 20:17 |

collabra | therock: sudo grub-update,... yeah,... i guess.... | 20:24 |
therock | collabra: there should someone make the gui for sure... | 20:26 |
collabra | yeah,.. i complained about the lack of gui support and consolodation a week or two ago,... I've got no patience, since, for lack of basic research skills... :) | 20:28 |
collabra | i've got no time to do for someone else what they ought to do for themselves,... including learning the terminal. | 20:30 |
therock | i think startupmanager can update grub easier.. (??) | 20:31 |
therock | fix-> "Startup-Manager" | 20:32 |
collabra | i can just imagine the faces of the adept everytime a question comes along basic to fundamentals... unfortuneately,... tough love also comes with giving the gift of 'fishing' for himself or herself | 20:33 |

therock | collabra: i dont get what exactly you mean | 20:45 |
DiogenesW | gute nacht | 20:46 |
collabra | if you were an engineer,... what greater ignorance is there except a lack of knowledge concerning his system,... | 20:47 |
collabra | i'm sure he'd be quite put off by your lack of faith in his terminal and what it can do... | 20:47 |
collabra | he just might not care and look down on such an individual when considering carefuly his code. | 20:48 |
collabra | it's elite,.. the terminal,.. and someone needs to make it accessable to those of us within the gui | 20:49 |
collabra | that's it that's all,.. now,.. whether it'll get done,.. i dunno,... but i'll advocate for greater control for the users,... not the coders. | 20:51 |
collabra | and after all if the illusion of control is a simple gui,.. well,... give them the illusion of it,... it's certainly needed | 20:52 |

collabra | therock: what can i say about pulse,... I think it's immature to be a replacement for a steady standard. | 22:43 |
therock | i dont really know about kubuntu audio. but I think it just need someaudio effect like room effect, noise reduction, and sound clipping controll to enchance the audio... | 22:47 |
collabra | therock: pulse mis-sampled my experimental live recordings...at times not being able to keep up,... and it's supposed to be the realtime next-gen....? nope,.. it simply failed my test... not to mention the pitiful poor blind and naked audio controls... lol | 22:48 |

collabra | therock: so what,...remove your thumb,.. what can you hold on to? | 22:53 |
collabra | therock: your argument isn't made with any sense,...if you are promoting pulse, that is. | 22:54 |
therock | when I update to newer version, the sound terribly goes crockery | 22:54 |
therock | i need dictionary :) | 22:54 |
collabra | newer version,... from what to what? | 22:55 |
collabra | 10.04 to 10.10 | 22:55 |
collabra | ???? | 22:55 |
therock | so i have stuck on dvd default 10.10 amd dvd of kubuntu.. | 22:55 |
therock | the libpulse0 and pulseaudio | 22:56 |
collabra | it's my understanding the current big fad the ubuntu family is facing is upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10,... | 22:56 |
collabra | is this your upgrade? | 22:57 |
therock | no, im not. | 22:57 |
therock | clean install | 22:57 |
collabra | ah,.. what then 10.10 upgrade to what,.. or just a clean install of 10.10,... ? | 22:58 |
therock | i just already use kubuntu for these 2 month | 22:58 |
therock | clean install of kubuntu 10.10 amd64 | 22:58 |
collabra | therock: that's fine,... but 10.10 uses the pulse audio you say kills your audio,...? | 22:58 |
collabra | therock: and you seem to be backing pulse,...I'm confused | 22:59 |
collabra | to let you know 10.04 uses alsa,... 10.10 uses pulse,... again,... | 22:59 |
collabra | therock: pulse,.. <vomit> | 22:59 |
therock | it didn kill but crockery my sound if i update the libpulse0 and pulseaudio and its friends | 23:00 |
collabra | therock: what with,.. ppa's? | 23:00 |
therock | its default like from dvd | 23:01 |
collabra | therock: ??? | 23:01 |
collabra | therock: okay,.. you win... lol | 23:02 |
therock | collabra: i dont win anything..?? | 23:02 |
collabra | therock: ok,... i just got it,... a typical install using the dvd,.. and then you update it and it's fixed,.. well, great,.. you're fortunate to be satisfied with 10.10,... | 23:03 |
collabra | not sure you know the difference, though. | 23:04 |
therock | when i update to 0ubuntu21.1 | 23:04 |

collabra | reasons | 23:14 |
collabra | it's rocket science only to a rocket scientist... | 23:16 |
collabra | which in an abstract way plays a big part in distro selection. | 23:16 |
therock | no reasons. I just learn to use annother os than wind. and firsly i found ubuntu. so i use ubuntu. but later i found kubuntu looks better. so i use kubuntu. :) | 23:16 |
