I'm having an issue converting ubuntu to kubuntu [04:22] ok im new to ubuntu [04:22] i have a couple of questions [04:23] where can I get multisync-tools and related files for maverick? [04:23] actally no [04:23] I might be able to help you. [04:24] ok [04:24] hopefully someone else can help me. [04:24] shoot [04:24] how do i disable kopete for lanching on start up all the time [04:24] from* [04:24] its propably in your session [04:24] and when you start up it starts up that session. [04:25] k [04:25] hold on. I think you can now manage session in the control panel. [04:25] so start a brand new session [04:25] that would probably fix it. [04:25] i do have kde 4.5 and maverick [04:25] unless you have actually made it startup up every time. [04:26] i look everywhere in system setting a cople of hours ago [04:27] i must have over looked something [04:27] found it [04:27] system admin [04:27] ok [04:27] startup and shutdown [04:27] session mgt [04:27] choose start with empy session and reboot [04:28] then you can save it again. [04:29] ok I took care of the noobie for you. how about me? [04:29] i cant find system admin in system settings [04:29] where can I get multisync-tools and related files for maverick? [04:29] there's a sourforge page for multisync but not much else on google [04:29] what are you tryin to sync? [04:29] ok you see the search field up at the top [04:30] blackberry to kontact [04:30] I need msynctoool [04:30] try to pull all your contacts off? [04:30] yep [04:30] tried with bluedevil? [04:30] yea but they dont end up in kontact. you have a howto? [04:31] btw jordan [04:31] yes [04:31] type seesion in the search panel on sestem settings [04:31] system settings [04:31] and you will find it. [04:31] thats how I found it. [04:32] i have a run command but not search === Agent001 is now known as Agent007 [04:33] hmm you know I have not googled around for bluedevil specifally. let me try that bluedevil works great with my headset. [04:33] it didnt find it [04:33] really ? [04:33] i see where now [04:34] ok cool. I was starting to wonder what version you were on. [04:35] i do have x session utiliies [04:36] Quick question... Kopete is asking for me to do a captcha to login to Yahoo!, but it doesn't display the picture I'm supposed to read. Any ideas? [04:36] i probably need to find a search program which i havnt been able to find on this [04:37] are you in system settings? [04:37] or somewhere else? [04:38] Hm... looks like an update is available for QT, incl the image libraries. I'll try that to see if it fixes things. [04:38] there is a search feature in system settings, not a file search [04:38] i found find/folders and files thank god lol [04:38] me? [04:38] yep you [04:39] hey i search there didnt find anything with session [04:39] jordan, are you in system settings? [04:39] describe what you see when pull it up. [04:39] i had a stupid moment [04:39] k [04:40] np [04:40] it happens to the best of us. [04:40] sys, i really dont have anything with session on it in setting [04:41] ill get there [04:41] there [04:41] its under stantup and shutdown [04:41] thats why you wont see it when you open up system settings [04:41] i get a show up of Session Management [04:41] but it doesnt load [04:42] wierd [04:42] wait a mintue is it in startup and shutdown? [04:42] yep [04:42] im there now [04:43] cool. [04:43] i click start a emtry session [04:43] now just choose blank session and reboot then you can put it back on save seession [04:43] im a noob [04:43] its ok. [04:43] and i just came off opensuse 11.3 lol [04:44] i miss yast though :( [04:44] i dont [04:44] you will get used to aptitude [04:45] i swicth to kubuntu cause oepensuse doesnt work well with intelchipsets [04:45] 11.2 did [04:45] i dont have croping windows any more lol [04:45] chopping* [04:46] Over all I like ubuntu .. I tend to switch between Gnome and KDE every few months. [04:46] does ubuntu start on a black screen with a undersorce it that normal? [04:47] nope it is not normal [04:47] crap [04:47] its runing fine lol [04:48] probably bad sector :( [04:48] hard drive going out [04:49] ill run it till it dies [04:51] moe, have anyideas? [04:52] Kopete wants me to do a captcha to login to Yahoo. It's not displaying the captcha image. Help? [04:53] doug where at? [04:54] jordan: are you using an ati card? [04:54] *vid [04:54] i dont know [04:54] but i should know lol [04:54] lspci | grep -i vga will tell [04:54] Jordan, it pops up a dialog titled "Account verification - Yahoo - Kopete", and says "Your account has to be verified du to too many failed login attempts. Please enter the characters in the picture:" but there's no picture. [04:55] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [04:55] no [04:55] i know what your talking about now [04:56] I don't mind if it wants a captcha, fine. but no image is at best annoying. :) [04:56] doug, how long does it take yahoo to unlock your account [04:56] I can login to the webmessenger without issue. [04:56] i know thats for brute focre protection [04:57] jordan: from memory you need a kernel parameter something like i915=nomodeset [04:58] moe, im going to be hoset i dont know what your talking about now lol [04:58] heh [04:59] as for me ... I have a feeling I'm stumping ppl... I'll reask in an hour or two. [04:59] doug, your chat client probably cant get the image [04:59] jordan: that's my thought as well .. I'll take a look at what it's requesting with only Yahoo enabled. [05:00] i did some looking around about three weeks ago about yahoo chat [05:01] they have alot of new crap up [05:01] i dont know if you chat client even works [05:01] i would have to research it [05:01] makes sense. I'm not reliant on the protocol, but I like to log in to all the accounts so I know who I'm ignoring. [05:02] im founding the chat client i used 3 weeks ago [05:02] looking [05:03] founding a incorrect word to use iun that sentence llol [05:03] http://www.pidgin.im [05:03] worked great [05:04] Pidgin is good ... uses libPurple as I recall. I think I'll be stubborn for a bit and wrestle with Kopete. [05:05] When at work under Windows I run Miranda. Pain in the ass to configure sometimes, but it's protocols get frequent updates. [05:05] im unstalling kopete as we speak lol [05:06] its gone [05:08] im using quassel [05:08] i like what http://kubuntuguide.org/Maverick says about it [05:08] "Quassel is a cross-platform IRC client currently in development and (for some reason) is now included as the default Kubuntu/KDE client. Based on the Qt platform, there is not yet any DCC implementation (which makes this client limited in usefulness) and it has many bugs. Try Konversation instead [05:08] " [05:08] jordan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:08] jordan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:08] oh crap [05:09] I'm running Konversation now as occasionally I'll DCC pics to a friend. [05:09] i see [05:10] I like Quassel ... I'll put it's server half on my mail server and then use it as a bouncer from multiple sources. [05:10] i was using xchat [05:10] i havnt looked for a deb yet [05:10] kpackage doesnt have it [05:10] Xchat can be installed via Synaptic. [05:11] sure it does ... lemme look. [05:11] ill look [05:11] i didnt see it lol [05:12] at a prompt run sudo synaptic and search for xchat. install the real one, not the "gnome-xchat" as the gnome one is dumbed down way to far for me. [05:12] i see [05:14] i know i am possibly interrupting, and have no clue what all has been discussed, but konversation is a nice irc client in my opinion [05:14] i have no problems with it [05:14] I like Konversation as well. I use xChat under Gnome and Windows, Konveration under kde and sometimes under windows too. [05:14] i would dump them all for better gui lol [05:15] off a liveCD install of kubuntu sounds is really quiet.. is there a way to fix this? [05:15] very cool... i would not have even known that a windows port of konversation was available [05:15] all volumes are on full btw.. [05:16] uh [05:16] poy, soo [05:16] oh.. and if i turn up and down volume it doesnt do anything.... [05:16] i dont know [05:16] but it shows the volume change graphic [05:16] did you look in your mixer? [05:16] poyntz: it sounds like you do not have kmix set properly [05:17] see what you had muted? [05:17] jmichaelx: how can i fix this? [05:17] poy, are you on it now? [05:17] hola === miguel is now known as Guest38709 [05:17] hola [05:18] skock caller [05:18] 20 gag [05:18] poyntz: you will want to go into kmix's settings... 'configure channels' and 'configure kmix' [05:18] poyntz: open up a konsole, type in "alsamixer" without the quotes and max the volumes you need there, that should do it [05:19] use tab to move [05:19] space bar to unlock' [05:19] space bar for capturing [05:19] checking out alsamixer is good, but it will not fix kmix not having an effect on the volume [05:19] GabrielYYZ: preferably looking for an option which allows me to change volume using keys [05:20] poyntz: if the alsamixer volumes are down, pumping kmix to max volume will still be quiet [05:20] jmichaelx: no available channels listed.. [05:21] poyntz: it may be that you need to change some things in your phonon settings , then [05:21] poyntz: do try alsamixer once.... use F6 to change which audio device to use, until you find one that is working [05:21] oooo nah i think i worked it out.... [05:22] ok.. the volume is controlled by internal audio analog stereo [05:22] there you go [05:22] but, when i push up and down on the volume buttons it modifies the RV710 Digital Stereo (HDMI) [05:22] any way to fix this? [05:22] poyntz: that is apparently what you need to change [05:22] poyntz: phonon settings [05:23] go to system settings>multimedia [05:23] jmichaelx: ok.. this is weird but it says that the Internal Audio Analog Stereo is the default... [05:23] then click on 'phonon' [05:24] poyntz: you may want to individually click each item on the list to make sure that is the default for all of them [05:24] jmichaelx: yep.. default for everything [05:24] poyntz: if that is not the problem, then you need to change the settings in kmis [05:24] kmix* === emma is now known as em [05:25] poyntz: also... like the others said, see what things look like in alsamixer [05:25] kmix is taking ages to load =S [05:25] nope... wont open =S [05:26] poyntz: you realize kmix is just your volume indicator in your system tray [05:26] ? [05:26] poyntz: it should already be running [05:26] jmichaelx: thanks! fixed [05:26] sweet [05:26] jmichaelx: so yaa.. the problem was that it wasnt the default in kmix [05:27] yea, that happens sometimes [05:27] jmichaelx: does network management usually support wireless? [05:29] poyntz: it should, if your wireless adapter is supported [05:30] jmichaelx: is there a list of supported wireless adapters? [05:30] poyntz: do you know what adapter you are using? [05:31] jmichaelx: atheros wireless lan [05:31] poyntz: and what is indicating to you that it isn't working? [05:33] jmichaelx: (1) if i unplug the cat cable internet dies. (2) right clicking on network management --> wireless --> add --> scan (yields nothing and there's atleast 4 wireless devices in range on windows 7.. [05:34] poyntz: what is the output if you enter 'lspci | grep -i wireless' in a terminal? [05:36] nothing [05:36] wait.. [05:36] jmichaelx: even if i use an escape char nothin [05:37] grep doesnt find anything with the '-i' [05:37] escape char? all you want to paste into the termal is what was between the single quotes [05:37] but leave the quote marks out [05:38] jmichaelx: without quotes --> Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... [05:38] jmichaelx: with quotes ---> (nothing) [05:38] poyntz: if you enter what i had BETWEEN the quote marks, it should list for you your wireless adapter [05:39] ohh... i didn't see the wireless bit... [05:39] lspci | grep -i wireless [05:39] 3:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [05:39] yes... ok that is what we want [05:39] and what you have is not atheros [05:39] Ok .. Kopete asks for the user to do a captcha for Yahoo! after it fails to login, but as far as I see, doesn't even TRY to fetch an image. (watching netstat -t -n -p) [05:41] jmichaelx: is it supported? [05:42] poyntz: i am looking at forum threads relating to your card.... apparently it can be made to work, but doesn't function correctly out of the box [05:46] poyntz: you may need to speand some time in the forums.... it looks like you may have some compiling to do [05:48] hi guys [05:48] Could someone help me with my internet.. doesn't work somehow [05:48] hey pete [05:49] Eh Jordan [05:49] ill try [05:49] Cool Thanks dude [05:49] I used to do something to get it working a while back but I forgot :( [05:50] Jordan: I'm connected with Cat-5 [05:50] lol im already lost [05:50] im lookin for help aswel [05:50] lol you are a newbie too? [05:51] pretty much [05:51] Ok [05:51] The learning curve is not the same when older! [05:52] Well thanks anyway Jordan [05:52] PeteM: what issue are you having? [05:52] i havnt fool much with computer in about five years [05:52] jordan: by CAT-5, he just meant Ethernet [05:52] Oh my internet is not working but I am hard wired [05:52] yep [05:53] i see cat 5 is cable internet [05:53] PeteM: your wired internet connection is not working? [05:53] my browser doesn't work. Nothing seem to work [05:53] hey i google it lol [05:53] I guess so [05:53] jordan: google knows everything [05:53] Could you please tell me how to check my eth0 [05:53] status [05:53] PeteM: you are not on the PC with the network problem at the moment? [05:53] yes it does :) [05:53] Exactly [05:53] Ok, bug report for Kopete not showing the captcha image was logged in march, confirmed in august. [05:54] I'm on windose right now [05:54] netstat or something? [05:54] I don't know how to use it [05:54] I'm new too [05:54] doug, one of the reason i left opensuse [05:55] PeteM: so, on the same machine, if you boot into ubuntu, your network adapter doesn't seem to work? [05:55] if you had a intel embed chipset [05:55] jmichaelx: exactly [05:55] flash would frezze in fullscreen [05:55] been like that since 11.3 relese [05:55] PeteM: what version of kubuntu are you using? [05:55] it maybe awhile [05:55] not sure [05:55] 10.04 I think [05:56] PeteM: is this a laptop or a desktop? [05:56] Desktop [05:56] i386 [05:56] 32 bit [05:57] PeteM: i am not sure what to say... possibly the easiest solution would be to try an add-in NIC [05:57] jmichaelx: what is that [05:58] PeteM: a PCI or PCIe Ethernet adapter [05:59] PeteM: it may be that your onboard card could work, but it would be easier to determine that if you were booted into ubuntu, and had a network connection [05:59] oh no it used to work [05:59] I remembered now [06:00] I took a note on this over 6 months ago when I found the solution [06:00] what was your solution, if i may ask? [06:00] here it was: sudo dhclient eth0 [06:00] If I do that, it used to start the internet [06:00] kick start [06:00] I should say [06:00] PeteM: ok.... but that should happen automatically [06:01] maybe it was being slow getting the nic up. [06:01] yes I know. Something is weird [06:01] PeteM: do you use the network manager? [06:02] * DouglasK wanders off (bed) [06:02] jmichaelx: yep now it's working [06:03] jmichaelx: why is that? [06:03] PeteM: no idea, unless at one point yuo changed some settings somehow [06:03] yep, that's me all right [06:04] im going ask a qauestion [06:05] PeteM: well, remember your command. you might want to make sure things are configured correctly in your network manager..... or you could simply configure your /etc/network/interfaces file, and skip the network manager [06:05] when my computer is tryin to load i get a balck screen with a underscore [06:05] instead of my bboot loader [06:05] jordan: and it goes no further? [06:06] actually yes it does [06:06] works fine [06:06] jordan: ok, you mean you are not seeing the grub menu? [06:06] jmichaelx: It's me, PeteM.. now on linux [06:06] all but when i hit ctrl atl and f12 at thr ssame time [06:06] StepNjump: awesome [06:06] then i get it again [06:06] And how would I do this jmichaelx [06:06] yes [06:07] sorry I'm a newbie [06:07] i know you can turn it off [06:07] just load drectly [06:07] StepNjump: just make sure in the network manager, under wired connections, that it configure to connect to your network using dhcp [06:07] but why do i have a black screen with a under score on it? [06:08] also i have to enable my desktop effect everytime [06:08] jmichaelx: let me see [06:08] jordan: i am not sure... i have a feeling that if you would hold the shift key down after your machine loads its bios, and is heading to your OS installation, you might see your grub menu [06:09] jordan: are you in 10.10? [06:09] yes [06:10] jmichaelx: To make it even harder, my os is configured to display everything in french! [06:10] jordan: what is your output for: lspci | grep VGA [06:10] a other guy said a black screen its notmal [06:10] itnts* [06:10] StepNjump: that is OK.... it will likely still refer to dhcp [06:10] in the (what I think is) network manager, it's connected directly (not via proxy) [06:10] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [06:10] jordan: yes, i would not worry about the black screen [06:11] jmichaelx: is there a bash shell shortcut I could use to open the network manager? [06:11] k === matthew is now known as Guest54563 [06:11] jm, i thought maybe my hard drive was going bad [06:11] jordan: i hate to tell you this, but you may want to run 10.04 on that machine..... the drivers for a number of mobile intel graphics cards SUCK in 10.10 [06:11] i would doubt it [06:12] ive install five different oses on it lol [06:12] jordan: i am tellling you, a lot of mobile intel drivers in maverick are absolutely awful [06:12] jm, it actually works well [06:13] no chopping loads nothing [06:13] just something is disabling my desktop effect every time i load [06:14] jordan: one thing you could try, is going to your advanced tab for desktop effects, and tell it to disable functionality checks [06:14] well its a new reles [06:14] i know [06:14] jordan: this problem will not get fixed in this release.... hopefully it will be fixed inthe next [06:14] im afraid the computer wont load then [06:14] the last tab [06:15] jordan: those functionality checks are just for desktop effects [06:15] i see [06:15] i figgured they mod it somewhat [06:15] what i saw [06:15] StepNjump: the only shortcut would be to manually configure /etc/network/interfaces [06:16] the guy said if you cant ctrol/alt/f12 dont click it [06:16] StepNjump: and you would probably want to disable the network manager then [06:16] and when i do that i get a black screen [06:16] with a blinking underscore [06:17] jordan: yea.... this has been a big problem for a lot of people in 10.10. i have 2 machines that have mobile intel video, and i have stayed with 10.04 on those because of this [06:18] jm, how do i turn on my boot loader [06:18] i know i can goole it [06:18] but im downloading firefox now [06:18] jmichaelx: I think it will be easier to just install the 10.10 right on top of this one [06:18] jm, i see [06:19] jmichaelx: do you know a link to give me to provide me with the upgrade steps [06:19]
