[00:00] if you have any ideas for the awn problem that would be much more appreciated :D [00:00] re [00:00] Rioting_Pacifist: thanks! [00:06] moetunes: I'd check if those are the default permisions becuase thats a royal SNAFU if it is, the entire point of /etc/shadow is to prevent your password hashes being world readable and subject to rainbow table attacks, not too bad on a desktop but if it's the same on servers it's nearly as bad as the debian snafu [00:07] I've checked fany-tasks and smooth tasks. those are not quite what i'm looking for. with OSX like i meant: powerful and looking good (i could have said a kde alternative for awn) [00:07] Rioting_Pacifist: have done and 600 is the correct perm so I've changed it - dunno how it got that way tho... [00:08] moetunes: im pretty sure it should be root shadow 640 , i think 600 means only root can login [00:09] Rioting_Pacifist: ohh - I'll check again [00:09] hola [00:09] i also tried daisy plasmoid. that was almost it but there are some strange things like i can't change the order of the icons and it doesn't group programs === miguel is now known as Guest94808 [00:09] alguien que hable español [00:09] !es [00:09] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[00:40] Hi egaudet. [00:43] So anyway, I'm trying to install either Helix or Real Player from the website. [00:43] When I click on the download link for either (for the Debian package), I select the option to open with Gdebi. [00:43] The package downloads, Gdebi opens, asks for the authorization and begins the installation process. [00:44] At a certain point, a box pops up saying "Media Change".

[00:56] i got a question for you.. i recently changed i guess a few things on my desktop and have since noticed that some of my desktop widgets have become transparent backgrounded. I was wondering where I might be able to change the preferences of the windows of my widgets so that the backgrounds aren't transparent, because it makes for some difficult reading on some of them. [00:57] * crack05 is away (Gone) === crack05 is now known as CRACK05 [00:57] What are your options when you right-click on a widget? [00:57] RSSNOW settings [00:58] and desktop settings [00:58] Try desktop settings. [00:58] and Remove this RSSNOW [00:58] Are the transparent widgets maybe a different type than the widgets that aren't transparent? [00:59] well, not sure on that one [00:59] what do u mean different type [00:59] Are you using Ubuntu, or Kubuntu? [00:59] Not sure, just guessing. [00:59] the rest of my widgets i have on right now is a analog clock a little pastbin app for uploading stuff to the pastbin online [00:59] Kubuntu [00:59] 10.10 [01:00] Same as me, then. [01:00] yeah [01:00] and it wasn'tt like this b4 [01:00] not sure what i changed to make it this waya [01:01] Hmm, are all the affected widgets to do with RSS feeds? [01:01] yeah.. well that's the only widget that is transparent [01:01] that i have running on my desktop right now [01:01] is there a theme setting somewhere that might dictate how windows appear on the desktop [01:03] And do they link to programs, or files (maybe transparent means the widget refers to a location that no longer exists?). [01:04] hmmm [01:05] wait [01:05] thanks [01:05] u reminded me of something [01:06] tryin to remember where i saw some setting about showing independant sets of stuff [01:06] there was two options [01:06] that was one of them [01:07] can't remember where that was === wardog is now known as la === la is now known as wardog === iflema is now known as tremmons === tremmons is now known as iflema [01:41] Running 10.10 - Audio skipping (VLC, Amarok, whatever) since some of the latest updates.

[10:59] Fleck: what command? /usr/bin/firefox? Yes [11:00] then i have no clue :/ [11:01] kaddi_: have you set your default browser as firefox? [11:01] obscurant1st: yes [11:02] clicking on that check now button shows "Firefox is already set as your default browser." ? [11:03] kaddi_: ^ [11:03] what check button? I went to default applications and for web browser chose "in the following browser" and entered firefox. [11:03] It is also working for other kde apps, like kopete or koversation [11:03] in firefox prefrences -> advanced-> genera [11:04] you can check whether firefox has been set as your default browser [11:04] obscurant1st: yes when i click it says it's already default brwoser [11:05] oh, ok. then i dont know. because i had this same problem, but doing this solved it! [11:06] you can set the default browser in .bashrc [11:06] moetunes but that would only have effect for your konsole [11:06] no it works for all appps here [11:07] you need to logout/login for it to work [11:08] I set midori as my default browser today [11:08] I've not tried that one, moetunes [11:09] how is it working for you? [11:09] i always end up going back to FF [11:09] so far [11:10] valorie: midori is way quicker but way harder to set up [11:10] bookmark imports were a hassle [11:11] hassle is something I don't have time for [11:11] all is sweet now tho [11:11] that's cool [11:12] I just had to backup the bookmarks to a html file then convert them to xml and then edit it so midori could access them [11:12] sounds simple but... [11:12] how about plugins though? [11:13] even Chromium hasn't caught up [11:13] it uses the firfox plugins [11:13] that's cool [11:14] valorie: it is still a work in progress - it took three goes to get the plugins working [11:15] I'll wait until it's further along, then [11:15] I need a reliable browser [11:15] even if it's a bit slower [11:15] which is why I use Chromium less and less [11:15] sad [11:15] I liked it [11:15] ff took like 5 secs to load - midori takes like 2 secs once set up - it uses webkit [11:15] same with Opera [11:15] is chromium still getting updated? [11:16] almost daily, I believe [11:16] i thought it had been abandoned [11:16] I'm no longer getting the dailies [11:16] made it too unstable [11:16] oh, but there's no stable release/ [11:49] Hi!

I'm uing maverick 32 bit [12:33] leandrosansilva: where did you install 4.5.4 from? [12:33] Riddell: from kubuntu backports [12:34] leandrosansilva: you must be mistaken, 4.5.4 hasn't been released yet and it wouldn't be in the backports PPA [12:34] But if I use a clean kde configuration (removing ~/.kde), everything works fine [12:34] hum... just a second [12:36] Riddell: sorry, I got kde from kubuntu updates repo [12:36] and the kde 4.5.4 packages are there : https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa/+build/2071945 [12:37] leandrosansilva: mm right, kde4libs is there [12:37] not only kde4libs, but all the rest of kde [12:37] leandrosansilva: well I recommend logging out and from a console moving .kde/share/config/plasma-desktoprc and .kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc out the way [12:38] leandrosansilva: and if that helps it then report a bug to bugs.kde.org with those files attached [12:38] Riddell: ok. I will try it. Just aone more second... [12:45] How do I switch the graphics card on my notebook? I have an Intel (low power) and ATI (gaming) card inside [12:45] I heard this is not as comfortable as in windows but should be possible? [12:58] effects are disabled when i start up, is there are way to have effects enabled by default? [13:05] Riddell: it seems the problem is in the theme I use, bespin. This problem in plasma only happens with bespin widget theme [13:07] leandrosansilva: ah hah [13:07] leandrosansilva: best report a bug to them then http://cloudcity.sf.net/ [13:08] yes, I'm doing it now. thx :-) [13:18] poyntz: that's why i switched to 10.04 LTS,... I suggest you either file an official bug, or switch back to LTS for stability. [13:19] poyntz: i haven't found 10.10 to be bug-free... LTS isn't the latest and greatest,.. but components wont be broken til fixed.

It's crashing for me at the moment [14:25] does anyone know how to install flash 10.2 beta? i downloaded it from adobe (just the file libflashplayer.so) and put it in the folder /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/, but it doesn't appear to have done anything [14:25] Do I need to execute the installer somehow? [14:26] E.g. do I need to set it as executable as root? [14:26] also, will it take affect in Rekonq? [14:26] (I'm not using Firefox) [14:27] morticum: hi [14:28] morticum: if you use the installer it should work [14:28] hi phoenix [14:28] fprunier: how do you use the installer? [14:29] morticum: i think this is the location that firefox uses /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libflashplayer.so, the konqueror and rekonq share the same location i think [14:29] morticum: can you check that and confirm [14:30] yeah, that is a symlink which points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [14:30] morticum: have you replcaed tge file [14:31] i did [14:31] and restarted rekonq [14:31] maybe i should try rekonq [14:31] morticum: I am checking on that now [14:32] aha [14:32] I see that"about:plugins" works in konqueror [14:32] but not in rekonq... [14:32] i have a general q: is it always safe to upgrade packages, which may or may not require restart (of system or app), if I don't intend on performing said restart right afterwards? or will the system enter some undefined flaky state until I do? [14:32] it shows in konqueror that shockwave flash 10.2 d151 version is installed [14:32] morticum: sorry i though the flash lib would come with the installer [14:33] morticum: is QTWEBKIT_PLUGIN_PATH set ? [14:33] where would that be set? [14:33] if not if you set it to your flash plugin location that should make it work [14:33] if you sue the env command [14:33] and grep for it [14:33] grep for env? [14:33] like 'env | grep QTWEBKIT_PLUGIN_PATH' [14:34] let me know the output of that command [14:34] nothing appeared to happen when doing that [14:34] ok [14:34] bad? [14:34] then try 'export QTWEBKIT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer' [14:34] and then start rekonq from the same command line [14:34] morticum: didnt the flash version change after the patch [14:35] yeah in konqueror, but how do I check which version of the flash plugin is being used in Rekonq? [14:35] there's no convenient "about:plugins" page [14:36] morticum: did you find any install notes in the adobe website? [14:36] nothing. [14:36] let me check more thoroughly [14:43] does rekonq come bundled with flash player like google chrome? [14:46] no it doesn't [14:46] I just played a flash 720p in konqueror and it was much slower than in chrome dev, which is using an earlier 10.1 version [14:46] weird [14:46] konqueror is showing 10.2 installed [14:47] I wonder when the chrome daily builds will have 10.2 beta [14:51] I see the problem: Konqueror is using flashplugin-alternative.so which may be installed in one of many places [14:52] I guess I'll have to manually change ALL of them, unless one knows how to determine precisely the path of the plugin used in konqueror [14:53] hi [14:54] I want to install kubuntu 10.10. when I boot from the cd, the menu doesn't offer to install the system [14:55] gribouille: load the livecd into kubuntu and then install from there [14:56] morticum, you mean I have to choose "start kubuntu" ? [14:56] yeah [14:56] there may be an easier way, but I don't know it [14:56] morticum, I did it, but I got a login screen. What id and password do I have to enter ? [14:58] morticum: installed flash 10.02 beta, works fine in rekonq [14:58] phoenix_firebrd: how did you install it? [14:59] gribouille:there shouldn't be one...did you try no password or username? [14:59] morticum, yes [14:59] morticum, you mean I should get the kde desktopn directly ?

[15:01] gribouille: yes [15:01] morticum, ok, let me try again [15:01] gribouille: did you download the livecd iso? [15:11] phoenix: phenomenal.

[16:56] RastaManPower: i think is a problem with mono, not only fspot fails but also any program that is built using mono fails in kubuntu 10.10 and i think its also in 10.04 [16:56] gah, back... my internet >.< [16:57] phoenix_firebrd: that no longer works.

[17:00] i tryed it on gnome but its very bad. reminds me of that ugly windows [17:00] i want to run away from that junk [17:00]
