| bati | toshiba bluetooth mouse, kubuntu... anybody who can help? | 00:46 |
| moetunes | I've bothered with bluetooth | 00:47 |
| moetunes | !bluetooth | bati | 00:47 |
| ubottu | bati: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 00:47 |
| bati | moetunes: I am just amazed, that in plain ubuntu it works with defaults, but not so in kubuntu :/ | 00:50 |
| moetunes | bati: I think the bluetooth app is called bluedevil I can't offer more help then that... | 00:51 |
| moetunes | !info bluedevil | 00:51 |
| ubottu | bluedevil (source: bluedevil): The KDE bluetooth stack. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0~rc4-0ubuntu2.1 (maverick), package size 196 kB, installed size 1204 kB | 00:51 |
| moetunes | says it is optional | 00:51 |
| moetunes | ... | 00:51 |
| bati | yep, bluedevil is up and running, it can see my mouse, but even after several tries (of course I pressed that little connect button) no success, and google is no help | 00:53 |
| moetunes | bati: anything in dmesg about the mouse connecting? | 00:54 |
| bati | moetunes: that is the main source of problem... nothing in the logs | 00:55 |
| moetunes | bati: from here - http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=27531&start=0&hilit=blueman - it seems finding and installing blueman is an option | 01:05 |
| bati | moetunes: I`ve tried, no change... it seems like my BT iface is read only :) | 01:14 |
| Roey | howdy! | 01:16 |
| Roey | I wonder if anyone else has encountered this: if the input I'm typing on the Bash command-line exceeds the length of the screen, it wraps around...to the beginning of the current line. It should put in a linefeed before that. This is consistent for me for Bash instances across both ttys and different graphical shells. I'm on Kubuntu 10.10, but have had this problem for well over a year. | 01:16 |
| bati | moetunes: but still, it amayes me... underlying architecture under ubuntu anf kubuntu is same, yet they behave so differently | 01:16 |
| Roey | moetunes: your nick reminds me of a soundtrack for some cutesy anime. | 01:17 |

| moetunes | !info dash | 01:33 |
| ubottu | dash (source: dash): POSIX-compliant shell. In component main, is required. Version 0.5.5.1-7ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 94 kB, installed size 228 kB | 01:33 |
| moetunes | Roey: dash is the default now iirc - what makes you think you are using bash? | 01:33 |
| Pici | moetunes, Roey: dash is a replacement for /bin/sh, not for /bin/bash | 01:34 |
| Roey | http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/053 | 01:34 |
| Roey | it was that. | 01:34 |
| Pici | Simple :P | 01:35 |
| Roey | moetunes: so Kubuntu moved wholesale to Dash and is not using Bash as default anymore? | 01:35 |
| Roey | I realized that ash must be /bin/sh | 01:35 |
| Roey | I use bash, personally | 01:35 |
| Pici | No. Both Ubuntu and Kubuntu use bash as their default shell. | 01:36 |
| Pici | But /bin/sh is symlink to /bin/dash | 01:36 |
| Roey | Pici: ahhh okay. | 01:39 |
| Roey | Pici: oh, maybe you can help me figger this out | 01:40 |
| Roey | my Keyboard Settings do not seem to be respected by any app | 01:40 |
| Pici | Roey: I actually don't know much/anything about KDE, sorry. | 01:41 |
| Roey | I have Capslock mapped to an additional control, keyboard layout switcher mapped to two shift keys pressed together, and repeat delay to 200ms. I upgraded to the latest PPAs and now these settings no longer seem to be respected, even though they show up as I configured them in System Settings | 01:41 |
| Roey | ah | 01:41 |
| Roey | ok | 01:41 |

| Snowhog | deusr: Your question? | 02:42 |
| deusr | Snowhog, I wonder why the GTK applications appear with the name in English on the menu of kubuntu. In this case, if used another language. | 02:44 |
| Snowhog | deusr: Sorry, but I don't have an answer. It is likely a library issue with the Gnome app and KDE. May I ask, are you German? | 02:50 |
| deusr | Snowhog, no, Brazil | 02:51 |
| Snowhog | deusr: Ah. | 02:51 |

| deusr | you said it might be a lib, but what? | 02:57 |
| Snowhog | deusr: Not all Gnome apps 'play nicely' with KDE. What app is giving you this behavior? | 02:59 |
| deusr | Snowhog, There is the following, I will see if I can find an example to show you | 03:03 |
| Alan502_ | Hey,m | 03:37 |
| Alan502_ | I'm tired of having to remove files from the command line on removable disks, using dolphin just sends them to the .Trash-100 folder which, ironically, is in the same removable disk | 03:38 |
| Alan502_ | Is it posible to deactivate this feature? It's useless and annoying | 03:38 |

| Alan502_ | is there a way to make it default for removable disks though? | 03:39 |

| BATi | is here somebody who can help me pair my BT toshiba mouse with kubuntu? under plain ubuntu it works, but live cd kubuntu just see the mouse but cannot pair with it... | 05:17 |
| DasKreech | BATi: do you have bluedevil? | 05:23 |
| BATi | DasKreech: sure I do, it is 10.10 live cd, bluedevil runnning | 05:25 |
| BATi | DasKreech: I am just confused, not an idiot :) | 05:26 |
| Rigmarole | what bluetooth program does ubuntu use? maybe you could run that | 05:31 |
| DasKreech | BATi: :-) Hard to tell the difference depending on the level of confusion | 05:31 |
| GabrielYYZ | ubuntu uses the gnome bluetooth applet | 05:33 |
| BATi | DasKreech: well, confusion level is pretty high, because under plain ubuntu on that computer there is no problem... and there is nothing BT related in logs :) | 05:34 |
| GabrielYYZ | BATi: on the bottom right of the plasma desktop, there's an "arrow" pointing up, did you try clicking there, clicking the "bluetooth monolithic" and trying to configure the device? | 05:35 |
| GabrielYYZ | disclaimer: i don't use bluetooth, so i'm limited, all i can provide are suggestions | 05:36 |
| GabrielYYZ | BATi: actually, it's the bottom right on the panel, next to the clock* | 05:37 |
| BATi | GabrielYYZ: yep, was there, done that... BT works, that kubuntu machine is aware of that mouse, but refuses to connect to it... even tried to conect to it from shell | 05:39 |
| GabrielYYZ | BATi: is the device trusted? (there's a button on that same place that says trust) | 05:42 |
| BATi | okay, to re-state my problem - I have tried every "user friendly" way of configuring the device, like pressing "connect" button on the mouse and so on... but it still confuses me that under plain ubuntu it works but under kubuntu it is not working :/ | 05:45 |
| GabrielYYZ | well, i don't use bluetooth, so beyond user-friendly, i'm lost with that | 05:47 |
| BATi | well, I think that my friend will not be very happy... but at least I managed to convert his wintel notebook to linux :) | 05:52 |
| DasKreech | BATi: You can probably install the Gnome applet to get it to work | 06:01 |
| BATi | DasKreech: well, I have to support that machine, so I want it as vanilla as I can get it to... :) it is my friends notebook, he have no experience with linux, he was just disappointed with windows and I did a little showcase of distros to him and he chose kubuntu... | 06:06 |
| BATi | BTW not kubuntu related, but somebody know of other CAD software than varicad? | 06:09 |
| DarthFrog | BATi: Google SketchUp | 06:12 |
| valorie | BATi: all the ubuntu apps are available easily to us, as the kub. apps are to Gnome users | 06:14 |
| BATi | DarthFrog: oh, jeez... maybe for google earth buildings, but it is definitely not acceptable for machinery engineering... :) | 06:15 |
| DarthFrog | BATi: I use it for woodworking. It's good for that and you can't beat the price. | 06:15 |
| BATi | valorie: yes, I do know... I did not find any thing better, but who knows, maybe there is something what is not in software center... like vendetta online :) | 06:18 |
| BATi | DarthFrog: okay, in that case they have another license sold... I like it too, I was just assuring myself on the decision | 06:21 |
| BATi | oh jeeebus, just rebooted rhe server instead of workstation... too many screeens and keyboards :) | 06:35 |
| DarthFrog | When I was teaching classes on Linux to newbies, I always told them to sit on their hands before pressing the Enter key when they had root priviileges. :-) | 06:36 |
| DarthFrog | Not to say that I've not rebooted the wrong machine myself. :-) | 06:37 |
| BATi | DarthFrog: I must say that I have crippled half of t-mobile network in czech republic once, because of wrong acl"s... :) but it was after three days marathon of upgrading | 06:41 |
| DarthFrog | BATi: I bow before your BOFH awesomeness. :-) | 06:42 |
| BATi | DarthFrog: old times, my friend... now I have no serious job | 06:43 |
| BATi | DarthFrog: more fun I had was at dhl it services... like explainining somebody in arabia, that he cannot connect to vpn because of solar flares :) | 06:47 |
| DarthFrog | There are no outlaws of physics. :-) | 06:48 |
| BATi | DarthFrog: well, it was like charm, hook, sinker and half mile of line :) but seriously, if somebody calls you from a pub, you should not add him to ACL for VPN | 06:53 |

| bicho | tried reboot? | 10:53 |
| tristan3199us1 | yeah.. couple times.. | 10:53 |
| tristan3199us1 | is it related to plasma or cairo-dock?? | 10:53 |
| valorie | I experienced it before the last updates | 10:54 |
| valorie | which kde are you running, tristan3199us1 | 10:54 |
| valorie | I only saw it in Amarok, in some of the applets | 10:54 |
| tristan3199us1 | i will try to check.. new to kde...... where are all the menus.. i cant find any apps besides what i add to cairo-dock from gnome... | 10:55 |
| valorie | in 4.5.4 they seem to be gone again | 10:55 |
| valorie | tristan3199us1: an easy way is the help menu of any KDE app | 10:55 |
| valorie | Help > about KDE | 10:55 |
| tristan3199us1 | did anybody look at my screenshot.. | 10:56 |
| valorie | oh ugh, you are still in ubuntu | 10:56 |
| valorie | sort of | 10:56 |
| valorie | yes, but it looks like you have no toolbar | 10:56 |
| tristan3199us1 | i have both to see which i like more.. started with ubuntu because it seemed like that was what kubuntu and xubuntu were based on.. | 10:57 |
| tristan3199us1 | i do have no toolbar.. ahhhhhhhhhhh | 10:57 |
| valorie | well, all have the same stuff underneath | 10:57 |
| tristan3199us1 | i tried to get it back.. to no avail | 10:57 |
| valorie | but the desktops are a bit different | 10:57 |
| tristan3199us1 | kde is supposed to be more like windows?? | 10:57 |
| valorie | ah, you have it on top | 10:58 |
| valorie | is this a netbook? | 10:58 |
| valorie | tristan3199us1: not sure what you mean | 10:58 |
| tristan3199us1 | yeah.. but i installed desktop versions i think | 10:58 |
| valorie | my husband uses windows, and I don't see much similarity | 10:58 |
| valorie | see on the right, where it says search and launch? | 10:59 |
| tristan3199us1 | friends use my laptop time to time, i want them to be able to figure it out.. they get lost in gnome and i end up helping them the whole time.. its pretty annoying.. so i thought mabey kde would be easier for anybody to just pick up and go.. but it seems like its not the case | 10:59 |
| valorie | there should be more choices for you there | 10:59 |
| valorie | it's always been easy for me | 11:00 |
| valorie | so I guess it's different depending on what people like | 11:00 |
| valorie | Gnome drives me insane | 11:00 |
| valorie | rather quickly | 11:00 |
| valorie | lol | 11:00 |
| tristan3199us1 | it shows that i can add "widgets" and desktop settings | 11:00 |
| valorie | but I have nothing against those who prefer that or windows or macOS or whatever | 11:00 |
| tristan3199us1 | and gnome is not the best i agree.. but its better than windows | 11:01 |
| valorie | widgets are the same as what gnome calls plasmoids | 11:01 |
| tristan3199us1 | dont really use any of the plasmoids or widgets.. just extra work on my tiny computer.. tho i am used to gnome i think kde looks and feels better when it works.. i dont want a live usb.. i just want my gnome/kde to work together till i decide what i really want | 11:02 |
| valorie | http://hanschen.org/2010/03/04/10-things-you-might-want-to-do-in-kde-sc-4-4/ | 11:03 |
| valorie | might give you a few ideas | 11:03 |
| tristan3199us1 | it had an annoying but useful menu the fist time that took the whole screen including where this black hole is.. but now.... ahhh... annoyed.. | 11:03 |
| valorie | some of the widgets are really useful, depending on what you want to do | 11:04 |
| tristan3199us1 | valorie: did you see http://tinypic.com/r/2qnv1gm/7 | 11:04 |
| valorie | yes, of course | 11:04 |
| tristan3199us1 | thats my real problem | 11:04 |
| valorie | right | 11:04 |
| tristan3199us1 | what can i do about that.. is cairo-dock or some other gnome app doing this to me | 11:04 |
| valorie | as I said, I had that problem a few weeks ago, but it's gone now | 11:04 |
| valorie | I have no idea what caused it | 11:04 |
| tristan3199us1 | how can i get to a terminal or something to update it.. | 11:05 |
| valorie | I have no gnome apps that I can think of | 11:05 |
| valorie | alt + F2 gets you to krunner | 11:05 |
| valorie | you can run anything from there, including Konsole | 11:05 |
| tristan3199us1 | on my screenshot it shows all my options.. except cairo-dock didnt get captured in the picture | 11:05 |

| tristan3199us1 | but still have blackhole on my screen | 11:13 |
| tristan3199us1 | did you see my screenshot | 11:13 |
| rork | yes, do windows go over it or are they blacked out also? | 11:14 |
| tristan3199us1 | blacked out | 11:14 |
| tristan3199us1 | i have to work all my windows above it if i want to see it all | 11:14 |
| tristan3199us1 | plus cairo-dock is running.. but i uninstalled it.. wtf | 11:15 |
| tristan3199us1 | i also have no toolbar | 11:15 |
| tristan3199us1 | on the bottom of my screen | 11:15 |
| rork | how did you install kde? | 11:15 |
| tristan3199us1 | i installed ubuntu whatever was before 10.10... upgraded.. then added the kde-desktop from the repos... | 11:16 |
| tristan3199us1 | when i boot it shows kubuntu.. and at shutdown as well... but gnome was first.. when i get to the login screen i can choose gnome or kde | 11:18 |
| tristan3199us1 | kde has a few kinks... gnome works fine... | 11:18 |
| tristan3199us1 | what the heck is this black square tho.. | 11:18 |
| rork | well I was thinking it might be a broken panel or something | 11:19 |
| tristan3199us1 | and why is cairo-dock still working if i uninstalled it.. | 11:19 |
| tristan3199us1 | if i use the konsole to reset my panels.. will that effect my gnome install.. thats the only one working right so far.. | 11:19 |
| tristan3199us1 | i like how i have it... now i want kde how i like that as well... | 11:20 |
| rork | can you try to kill the cairo-dock? | 11:21 |
| tristan3199us1 | ill try but i know thats really not the problem..' | 11:22 |
| tristan3199us1 | i did quit cairo-dock.. but it didnt accually quit all the way.. | 11:22 |
| tristan3199us1 | i have pidgin and firefox icons spinning in the black hole now..... ahhh... stupid computers | 11:23 |
| rork | hehe, idd, they should just do what you think they should do :P | 11:23 |
| BajK_ | hey I'd like to capture a media stream (mp3 stream?) i.e. online radio from 16:00 to 17:00 today, how do I manage that? | 11:24 |
| tristan3199us1 | i right clicked cairo-dock went to quit.. hit yes.. but it still works... is it figgin designed by the hulk to never quit or something... | 11:25 |
| tristan3199us1 | tempted to do a hundred on the highway and throw it out the window... jk | 11:25 |
| rork | have you configured your kde desktop or was it like this when you installed it? | 11:27 |

| rork | have you configured your kde desktop or was it like this when you installed it? | 11:28 |
| Anpu | hi, i cant find new kubuntu logo in some better quality. anyone has some tip where to look, or some link? | 11:29 |
| tristan3199us1 | i installed the kde desktop from the software repos in gnome... then (of course) made sure it accually worked.. but it doesnt show a desktop it shows some menu with a bunch of huge icons like internet, office, or whatever they were.. as far as i was concerned it looked ok, except it looked like some notebook version or something... is that normal for kde to show a strange menu at the beginning???????? i think its related to "s | 11:31 |
| tristan3199us1 | it simply clears my desktop | 11:32 |
| tristan3199us1 | did you see my screenshot | 11:32 |
| tristan3199us1 | http://tinypic.com/r/2qnv1gm/7 | 11:32 |
| BajK_ | audacity just records nothing no matter which recording device i set | 11:33 |
| rork | tristan3199us1: your message stoped here: `i think its related to "s` | 11:34 |
| tristan3199us1 | earch and launch" but everytime i click on a search and launch button it does nothing or askes about widgets.......... i have no ability to configure my desktop except now the search and launch thing isnt there when i start up kde... just a black desktop with not enough options | 11:35 |
| tristan3199us1 | stupid black square drives me nuts... | 11:35 |
| tristan3199us1 | please help | 11:35 |
| tristan3199us1 | you see my pic of my screen yet? im missing my toolbar with all the apps... | 11:36 |
| tristan3199us1 | alt-f2 everything in kde i guess... lol | 11:37 |
| rork | tristan3199us1: right click the desktop > add panel | 11:39 |
| tristan3199us1 | also if i click search and launch it simply clears my screen (except for this annoying black square) and i have to click top right to find this #kubuntu chat again | 11:39 |
| tristan3199us1 | add panel isnt an option if i right click the desktop | 11:40 |
| rork | and the panel on top can't be used? | 11:40 |
| tristan3199us1 | run command is on top | 11:42 |
| tristan3199us1 | then add widgets | 11:42 |
| tristan3199us1 | then remove this desktop | 11:43 |
| tristan3199us1 | then lock screen | 11:43 |
| tristan3199us1 | then leave | 11:43 |
| tristan3199us1 | then desktop settings | 11:43 |
| tristan3199us1 | thats it | 11:43 |
| tristan3199us1 | you still there??? | 11:45 |
| rork | yep, just trying stuff | 11:45 |
| tristan3199us1 | thank you take your time... i just want this working RIGHT.. not ok | 11:45 |
| rork | you're using the netbook desktop it seems. That explains why you can't add the panel. | 11:45 |
| tristan3199us1 | should i go to gnome (ubuntu) and uninstall the gnome desktop.. and just add a seporate partition instead.. even tho thats alot of work and memory | 11:46 |
| rork | go to System Settings > WorkSpace Behaviour > Workspace > Set Workspace type to Desktop > Apply | 11:46 |
| tristan3199us1 | i have no system settings... | 11:47 |
| tristan3199us1 | i have menu.. witch says close.. only... desktop (self explanitory) and page one... who knows what that is.. and seach and launch with does the same as desktop | 11:48 |
| tristan3199us1 | turns out page one brings me like weather and stuff | 11:48 |
| tristan3199us1 | still did you see my screen shot... what is this black square i hate so much.... | 11:49 |
| rork | What about Alt F2 > Start typing "system settings" | 11:49 |
| tristan3199us1 | i cant even imagine what is causing thing.. | 11:49 |

| an1 | hey my xsession crashes when i try to login into kubuntu 64 bit via gui. is says QMetaobject::invokemethod: no such method Konsole::Application::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance() | 13:31 |
| an1 | x-terminal-emulator: Fatal IO error: Client killed | 13:31 |
| an1 | (.xsession-error file content) | 13:31 |
| an1 | it keeps asking for uname and password in a loop. i need to go into console mode and startx always, and it works. how can i login from gui directly? if its of any help, i needed to remove quiet splash boot option during installation | 13:31 |
| an1 | or else it would just stop working | 13:31 |
| rork | an1: I don't really know but it looks like your missing some files, maybe you should check your install (`sudo apt-get check`) | 13:36 |
| collabra | an1: are you using 10.10 or 10.04? | 13:36 |
| an1 | 10.10 | 13:42 |
| bigjools | is there a current recommended best SIP phone app for Kubuntu? Twinkle doesn't play so nice with Pulseaudio :/ | 13:52 |
| === anirudh is now known as an1 | ||
| === akssps011_ is now known as akssps011 | ||
| collabra | bigjools: i could be way off,.. but, ekiga,.. i think does sip. | 13:58 |
| collabra | bigjools: i haven't checked... one sec. | 13:58 |
| bigjools | collabra: thanks, it does but I was looking for a native QT app | 13:58 |
| collabra | bigjools: no, offense, but if you know enough that you want a 'highbrow' native qt app,... what's the point in asking,... you either know of one,.. or have the capacity to research for yourself. | 14:00 |
| bigjools | collabra: read my question again, I was looking for a "recommended" one | 14:01 |
| bigjools | no offence | 14:01 |
| collabra | bigjools: none taken,... | 14:01 |
| collabra | !recommendations | 14:01 |
| collabra | !recommends | 14:01 |
| bigjools | heh | 14:02 |
| bigjools | the best I could find was a page about a BoF at UDS Jaunty | 14:02 |
| collabra | bigjools: yeah,...question,... why specifically qt? | 14:02 |
| bigjools | gtk apps on kubuntu drive me insane | 14:03 |
| bigjools | but if it works then I'll take it. Although some integration with Kontact would be awesome | 14:03 |
| collabra | kubuntu drives ME insane. | 14:03 |
| bigjools | I tried plain ol Ubuntu once and managed an hour before heading back :) | 14:04 |
| collabra | bigjools: what version do you have loaded. | 14:04 |
| bigjools | maverick | 14:04 |
| collabra | bigjools: no problem with broken kwin?,... (compiz) | 14:05 |
| bigjools | nope, it's fine. | 14:05 |
| collabra | bigjools: not pissed off with pulse audio? | 14:06 |
| bigjools | extremely so | 14:06 |
| bigjools | but since that got foisted on us in maverick I have no choice | 14:06 |
| bigjools | Twinkle would have worked if I could remove Pulse | 14:06 |
| collabra | bigjools: what about a sound wrapper? | 14:07 |
| bigjools | how do you mean? | 14:07 |
| collabra | convert pulse to alsa, or something? | 14:07 |
| bigjools | pulse has alsa emulation, right? | 14:07 |
| collabra | bigjools: you might look,... what soundsystem does Twinkle use? | 14:07 |
| bigjools | alsa or oss | 14:08 |
| haeggis | anyone? | 14:08 |
| collabra | bigjools: you might look under 'audio' packages to find an alsa or oss wrapper,.. or, converter. | 14:08 |
| haeggis | how do I change server in Quassel IRC? | 14:09 |
| bigjools | right, good idea. | 14:09 |
| collabra | bigjools: that will work with pulse | 14:09 |
| bigjools | haeggis: File -> Networks -> Configure Networks | 14:09 |
| bigjools | collabra: I'll take a look, thanks for the pointer. | 14:09 |
| collabra | bigjools: np | 14:10 |
| collabra | bigjools: drop me a pm if i'm not at my computer. | 14:10 |
| bigjools | you bet | 14:10 |
| collabra | bigjools: lemmy know how it goes. | 14:10 |

| Hedron | hi all, I have a problem with firefox | 14:10 |
| haeggis | I'm trying to connect to loic.AnonOps.net, but it won't work | 14:11 |
| Hedron | when I am viewing page, part of the page just falls behind the rest when I am scrolling or selecting text | 14:11 |
| Hedron | what can I do to correct this | 14:11 |
| Hedron | it is quite annoying | 14:11 |
| Hedron | I think it has to do with the video card of the laptop I am using | 14:13 |
| Hedron | it is intel gme965 | 14:13 |
| Hedron | however I had no such problem before switching to kubuntu | 14:13 |
| haeggis | same here Hedron...I've had a lot of hassle since I changed to Kubuntu | 14:14 |
| Hedron | I personaly changed to kubuntu in hope for less problems than openSuSE, what I see however does not leave me with this impression | 14:15 |
| haeggis | computer stalls, firefox crashes, VLC hangs up, Audacious loops | 14:15 |
| Hedron | what the hell is going on with linux lately | 14:15 |
| haeggis | I changed to Kubuntu 'cause the word was that KDE is more stable than Gnome | 14:16 |
| Hedron | I am using linux for more than 10 years, it never was so buggy | 14:16 |
| haeggis | so far I'm not impressed | 14:16 |
| Hedron | you may whant to try fedora 14 with kde - very good | 14:16 |
| Hedron | however my Intel card has problems with it | 14:16 |
| haeggis | how's the GUI? | 14:16 |
| haeggis | I kinda like the look of Kubuntu | 14:17 |
| Hedron | it is the same | 14:17 |
| Hedron | except the wallpaper | 14:17 |
| Hedron | kde is kde no matter the distro | 14:17 |
| Hedron | consistent look | 14:17 |
| haeggis | and NOT happy with Intel? | 14:17 |
| Hedron | also much better artwork for login manager | 14:17 |
| Hedron | intel GME 965 is the worst video card ever | 14:17 |
| Hedron | I have had ATi, nVidia and Intel | 14:18 |
| haeggis | have no idea what's on this old Toshiba of mine | 14:18 |
| Hedron | so far intell is the worst | 14:18 |
| Hedron | lspci | 14:18 |
| haeggis | I know it's Intel | 14:18 |
| haeggis | but that's about it | 14:18 |
| Hedron | just run it and you will know the model | 14:18 |
| Hedron | lspci | 14:18 |
| haeggis | in terminal? | 14:18 |
| Hedron | yes | 14:19 |
| Hedron | actually Fedora works fine with my card, except I have to use two monitors from time to time and it is slow with composition enabled | 14:19 |
| Hedron | otherwise all ok | 14:19 |
| haeggis | Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML | 14:19 |
| Hedron | 915 works great, I had laptop with it | 14:20 |
| haeggis | okay | 14:20 |
| Hedron | you should not have problems with this one | 14:20 |
| haeggis | thank's for the tip | 14:20 |
| haeggis | I'll check out Fedora | 14:20 |
| Hedron | also have in mind, that for some packages they have older versions | 14:20 |
| Hedron | if you whant to use latest kde | 14:20 |
| Hedron | you need to add the following repo: | 14:21 |
| haeggis | there is ONE sole reason that I haven't completely converted to Linux | 14:21 |
| haeggis | and that's Winamp | 14:21 |
| Hedron | qmmp, audacious, clementine, amarok | 14:21 |
| Hedron | xmms | 14:21 |
| Hedron | after amarok, I have never looked back to winamp | 14:21 |
| Hedron | http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ | 14:21 |
| Hedron | just follow the instructions | 14:22 |
| haeggis | Amarok crashes, loops, hangs, stalls | 14:22 |
| hauni | hi guys. i'm a programmer and i like to have control of what i type. in the new 10.10 i just installed there is a feature that actually deletes loads of letters when hitting backspace 3 times ... that's plain annoying, how can i deactivate that? | 14:22 |
| JUaskajuaska | Hello. How I open a new tab with a determinated name (session) of the tab? konsole --new-tab --session "Neww :D" don't works... Help please. | 14:22 |
| haeggis | it's the worst mediaplayer I have EVER tried | 14:22 |
| Hedron | haeggis: amarok crashes | 14:22 |
| Hedron | haeggis: this is something new | 14:22 |
| Hedron | haeggis: I use it every day | 14:22 |
| haeggis | tried it for two weeks, but eventually I gave up | 14:23 |
| Hedron | haeggis: but you allways can try something else. qmmp is almost winamp | 14:23 |
| Hedron | haeggis: even uses winamp2 skins | 14:23 |
| haeggis | ooh? | 14:24 |
| haeggis | but does it have all the amazing features Winamp has? | 14:24 |
| haeggis | for instance; I have a disk that crashed, now I have 35000 songs titled 00001.mp3-35000.mp3 | 14:25 |
| haeggis | winamp can find tags to them all, and mp3 renamer renames all files | 14:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | anyone using bluetooth. i am having problem sending files using bluedevil. need help | 14:26 |
| haeggis | haven't found ANYTHING remotely like that in any linux help sections or repositories | 14:26 |
| Hedron | haeggis: you have a pm message | 14:26 |
| Hedron | haeggis: as for the features - not everything | 14:26 |
| Hedron | but for basic player it is good | 14:27 |
| phoenix_firebrd | winamp is a amaziong software, nothing is equal to it | 14:27 |
| phoenix_firebrd | amarok is very good | 14:27 |
| Hedron | haeggis: also you can always emulate winamp under wine, though it is not a very good idea | 14:27 |
| phoenix_firebrd | its takes time to get accustomed to it | 14:28 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Hedron: tried winamp with wine, works fine | 14:28 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Hedron: the skin is rendered good | 14:28 |
| Hedron | yes, but when there are so much alternatives, the question is why | 14:29 |
| haeggis | if one run Winamp under Wine, you will not get the new skins | 14:29 |
| haeggis | OR the features of Winamp 2.x | 14:29 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Hedron: i compared winamp's sound quality and features with qmmp, amarok, xmms2,audacious | 14:30 |
| haeggis | so...you're better off with Audacious | 14:30 |
| Hedron | I have not used winamp since version 2, so I have no personal idea how it works there | 14:30 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Hedron: winamp is better than those | 14:30 |
| phoenix_firebrd | but i am using amarok, its very good | 14:30 |
| Hedron | I presume so, but I hate using wine for apps, which have alternatives, personal choice | 14:30 |
| haeggis | Winamp in it's latest distro is simply amazing | 14:31 |
| phoenix_firebrd | the equalizer presets are not good as winamp | 14:31 |
| phoenix_firebrd | anyone using bluetooth. i am having problem sending files using bluedevil. need help | 14:31 |
| Hedron | bluedevil is good, however there are bugs | 14:31 |
| phoenix_firebrd | qmmp skins are very small | 14:31 |
| Hedron | I had problem pairing a bluetooh mouse lately | 14:32 |
| haeggis | would love to help you, but Bluetooth on my fresh Kubuntu is waaay off line | 14:32 |
| Hedron | what error you get? | 14:32 |
| haeggis | I can ONLY send files | 14:32 |
| phoenix_firebrd | first it was working fine, then after a kernel update bluetooth stopped working | 14:32 |
| Hedron | I cannot browse some devices, other can, also bluetooth HID works fine | 14:33 |
| haeggis | can't connect to passive equipment, and can't recieve files | 14:33 |
| Hedron | as for usin it with alsa, maybe you need to have some additional packages and config | 14:33 |
| Hedron | bluez-alsa to be precise | 14:34 |
| phoenix_firebrd | i uninstalled the kernel , yesterday it was working fine, but not today, checked with a livecd , works fine | 14:34 |
| Hedron | what the hcitool scan returns? | 14:34 |
| Hedron | do you have list of devices | 14:34 |
| Hedron | maybe the new kernel is not properly configured | 14:35 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Hedron: i am getting the list of devices and i am able to browse the services usinf "sdptool browse" | 14:35 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Hedron: sending of files and browsing of the phone memory card is not possible | 14:36 |
| Hedron | this is strange | 14:36 |
| haeggis | btw; I'm trying to join the war, but I simply get to this page, and don't really know what to do next; http://bit.ly/a/warning?url=http%3a%2f%2fpastehtml.com%2fview%2f1c8i33u.html&hash=e6iR3X | 14:36 |

| Hedron | phoenix_firebrd - you can try with 2.6.36.1 | 14:40 |

| tsimpson | JUaskajuaska: KDE4 uses dbus not dcop | 14:41 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Hedron: i tried 2.6.37-x, but the graphics driver is not compatible | 14:41 |
| JUaskajuaska | tsimpson: --" :S ty but I don't have dbus installed :p | 14:42 |
| Hedron | phoenix_firebrd: 2.6.37-x is in rc stage | 14:42 |
| Hedron | I use 2.6.36.1 | 14:42 |
| Hedron | it fixes a lot of problems | 14:42 |
| JUaskajuaska | How I can make this? (change name session with dbus or konsole or etc?) pff.. | 14:42 |
| tsimpson | JUaskajuaska: yes you do, all KDE apps use DBus to communicate, use the qdbus tool instead of dcop | 14:42 |
| JUaskajuaska | I don't change the session name with kdbus, uhh u.u , ty | 14:44 |
| tsimpson | JUaskajuaska: try qdbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION 1 "ajuu" | 14:45 |
| JUaskajuaska | tsimpson: Method name '1' is not a valid member name. | 14:46 |
| tsimpson | JUaskajuaska: sorry try: qdbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION setTitle 1 "ajuu" | 14:47 |
| tsimpson | or use "org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle" instead of just "setTitle" | 14:48 |
| JUaskajuaska | Yeah! Thank yooooooooou:)) | 14:48 |
| JUaskajuaska | tsimpson: amm... But if I change to other tab "ajuu" return the last name, why? :S | 14:49 |
| JUaskajuaska | The tab is "wd" i use "dbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION setTitle 1 "ajuu" | 14:50 |
| JUaskajuaska | " and change to other application or other tab and rename to "wd" why? | 14:50 |
| tsimpson | hmm, try changing 1 to 2 | 14:51 |
| tsimpson | qdbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION setTitle 2 "ajuu" | 14:51 |
| JUaskajuaska | If I put "2" don't change.. | 14:52 |
| JUaskajuaska | :-( | 14:53 |
| tsimpson | I think it's due to bash setting the title itself | 14:54 |
| JUaskajuaska | tsimpson: Isn't the title self | 14:55 |
| tsimpson | JUaskajuaska: I'm not sure why its not working then, try asking in #kde and see if they know more | 14:57 |
| JUaskajuaska | tsimpson: u.u okay... ty | 14:58 |
| jacksonje | whenever I try to update to the kubuntu update ppa my X fails to launch. I'm using the nvidia blob driver. Any suggestions? | 15:09 |
| collabra | jacksonje: i suggest using 10.04 LTS... 10.10 is just too buggy,... and not meant to be stable. | 15:13 |
| jacksonje | with that advice I'd rather use another distribution | 15:14 |
| collabra | jacksonje: some find 10.10 to be great, with little problems... I and others have found it very bugridden. | 15:14 |
| collabra | jacksonje: the latest software needs time to mature... 10.10 is just not ready. | 15:15 |
| jacksonje | I develop kde stuff, I'm not using old versions | 15:16 |
| jacksonje | perhaps someone has actual advice on updating 10.10 to the updates ppa | 15:16 |
| collabra | jacksonje: hey,... you need advice on upgrading,... | 15:17 |
| collabra | !upgrade | 15:17 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 15:17 |
| collabra | jacksonje: have you tried a 'clean' install? | 15:18 |
| jacksonje | I did a clean install | 15:18 |
| jacksonje | it works fine | 15:18 |
| jacksonje | I update to kde 4.5.4 through the update ppa and x fails to start | 15:19 |
| collabra | jacksonje: it's just when you use the ppa | 15:19 |
| jacksonje | it only fails on my nvidia machine, not on my ati machine | 15:19 |
| collabra | jacksonje: ah,.. well, maybe the ppa has a bug... sounds like it. | 15:19 |
| collabra | jacksonje: you know, these ppa's only carry the latest software... i'm not sure it's de-bugged thorougly before it's published. | 15:21 |
| jacksonje | when you update to an updates ppa, do you do a normal update or a special update command? | 15:22 |
| jacksonje | I noticed that it removes things like the kde workspace when you do a normal upgrade, but I do a kubuntu-desktop install afterwards | 15:22 |
| collabra | jacksonje: I've always did a normal update: apt-get upgrade .... then if there are still packages left over,.. i do a : apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:23 |
| jacksonje | I'll try the dist-upgrade afterwards and see if that makes a difference | 15:23 |
| collabra | jacksonje: it'll only make a difference if there are packages being left behind. | 15:24 |
| jacksonje | well considering it removes essential packages with a plain update | 15:24 |
| collabra | jacksonje: perhaps you should load the ppa,.. get it all up and running,... then do an: apt-get dist-upgrade\ | 15:25 |
| collabra | apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:25 |
| collabra | i meant | 15:25 |
| jacksonje | I'll try that this next attempt | 15:25 |
| collabra | see if you can install it all at once | 15:26 |
| jacksonje | so the next question is, if it fails again, is there a way I can turn on my network manager wifi connection without kde? | 15:26 |
| goodtime | #ubuntu | 15:26 |
| collabra | jacksonje: if that doesn't work,... upgrade all you can with just an: apt-get upgrade,.. then, : apt-get dist-upgrade to follow up. | 15:26 |
| goodtime | sorry | 15:26 |

| sobczyk | could there be a reason why my kubuntu can't access a samba share but windos xp can? | 15:38 |
| sobczyk | it tell me it had a timeout | 15:39 |
| avefenix | hola | 16:29 |
| Elephantman | hi :) how can I make a samba shared folder use cifs instead of smbfs (address is currently smb://) ? | 16:52 |
| collabra | Elephantman: you have to edit the smb.conf file | 16:56 |
| collabra | Elephantman: i believe it's in /etc or /etc/samba | 16:57 |
| collabra | Elephantman: from there you can change the setup to use cifs | 16:57 |
| Elephantman | ok, looking at that collabra, thanks :) | 16:58 |
| collabra | Elephantman: no problem,...ah, if you are using a GUI, there are programs you can use. like : gadmin-samba | 17:00 |
| === esteban is now known as Guest16115 | ||
| Elephantman | collabra: gadmin-samba seems to make it a bit complex since I'm not really into becoming a samba leet :) searching for the directive to add ton the conf file to move to cifs, seems more efficient | 17:08 |
| collabra | Elephantman: good luck :) | 17:12 |

| phoenix_firebrd | is it 2.6.36 stabe. is it avaible in ppa? | 17:18 |
| anon__ | hi. I'm on 10.10, and by curiosity I just installed kde-desktop. Now on Gnome, pages displayed on Chromium look as if the fonts don't have smoothing applied. Under Appearance -> Fonts, I tried to change settings there, nothing affected Chromium. Then in Chromium I changed fonts, also no improvement. And this only happened after I installed KDE. Anyone has an idea on how to retrieve font-smoothing? | 17:18 |
| anon__ | (originally I was on Gnome) | 17:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | anon__: did you restart chrome after changing the font settings | 17:19 |
| anon__ | yes I did | 17:20 |
| phoenix_firebrd | try restarting xserver | 17:20 |
| anon__ | but what's confusing me is that fonts everywhere else are just fine.. | 17:20 |
| phoenix_firebrd | anon__: that happens to me too. try setting the hinting to slit | 17:21 |
| anon__ | yup. did that. tried slight/medium/full, switched between RGB/GBR/etc.. nothing.. | 17:22 |
| === asfyxia is now known as asphyxia | ||
| === asphyxia is now known as asfyxia | ||
| phoenix_firebrd | is this happening to any other browser? | 17:23 |
| anon__ | nope. And I regularly use chromium/opera/firefox, all three at the same time | 17:23 |
| anon__ | so I can definitely notice when a change happens across all of them | 17:23 |
| anon__ | there's a Ubuntu Font extension for chrome which I even tried.. | 17:24 |
| phoenix_firebrd | so chromium is the odd man out | 17:25 |
| anon__ | yes.. but why after kde-desktop? | 17:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | i seen the problem earlier. my font size =12 , font =ubuntu | 17:26 |

| inashdeen | anyone out there | 18:01 |
| inashdeen | remeber me? | 18:01 |
| inashdeen | anybody knows ho to change the usplash theme?? | 18:03 |
| collabra | inashdeen: the splash themes are controlled by 'phonon' i believe. | 18:11 |
| collabra | inashdeen: phonon is exclusive to the ubuntu line of distros,... i don't think they have others to choose from | 18:12 |
| collabra | !splash | 18:12 |
| ubottu | To change your KDE splash screen go to System Settings -> Appearance -> Splash Screen | 18:12 |

| inashdeen | whats that | 18:13 |
| collabra | !phonon | 18:13 |
| collabra | inashdeen: look it up in aptitude,... i believe it is the frontend to the initial splash screens....u know, the boot screen | 18:14 |

| John_User | Hi | 18:37 |
| John_User | I need some help | 18:37 |
| John_User | I cannot find any help on the foroum or over the net | 18:37 |
| John_User | so I decided to join the channel | 18:37 |
| John_User | I recently installed kubuntu 10.10 on my pc | 18:38 |
| John_User | but I have no sound | 18:38 |
| ksardas | no sound at all? | 18:39 |
| John_User | My soundcard is a Creative Soundblaster 24 live! | 18:39 |
| John_User | It is intergrated on the motherboard | 18:39 |
| John_User | It is fully recognized from kubuntu | 18:39 |
| rork | Sorry for the stupid question but have you set all volumes in kmix to max? | 18:41 |
| John_User | I use the alsa drivers | 18:41 |
| John_User | yes | 18:41 |
| John_User | using alsamixer and kmix | 18:41 |
| John_User | the same result | 18:41 |
| John_User | I have tried alsa monitor while playing an audio file, a video file, a youtube file | 18:42 |
| rork | Is the soundblaster you only sound card? | 18:42 |
| John_User | and it shows | 18:42 |
| ksardas | try oss then | 18:42 |
| ksardas | or just jeck your audio cable | 18:43 |
| John_User | on alsa monitor I can see the volume green bar moving when I play a file | 18:43 |
| John_User | but I cannot hear anything from the speakers or headphones | 18:43 |
| John_User | the cables are ok | 18:43 |
| John_User | I have read something about disabling the digital output.. | 18:44 |
| John_User | using analog-digital switch | 18:45 |
| John_User | but there is not such a channel on mixer | 18:45 |
| John_User | just the spdif that can be muted or not | 18:46 |
| John_User | any advice? | 18:46 |
| John_User | I would really apriciate it, cause I found Kubuntu 10.10 the very best distro this time | 18:47 |
| John_User | (in exception of the problem with my soundcard) | 18:48 |
| Nick_Meister | hi guys i mounted an external hdd with dolphin | 18:48 |
| John_User | Just to say that I am an intermidiate linux user not an expert | 18:48 |
| Nick_Meister | but every time i try to edit a file it says read only file system | 18:49 |
| tsimpson | Nick_Meister: what filesystem is on the hdd? | 18:49 |
| Nick_Meister | fat32 | 18:49 |
| Nick_Meister | i think.. | 18:49 |
| tsimpson | check the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and see what it's identified as | 18:49 |
| John_User | ksardas.. | 18:50 |
| John_User | you told me to try oss | 18:50 |
| ksardas | yep | 18:50 |
| John_User | how could I try oss instead of alsa? | 18:50 |
| Nick_Meister | /dev/sdb2 * 3825 4864 8353800 7 HPFS/NTFS | 18:50 |
| Nick_Meister | ntfs | 18:50 |
| ksardas | just switch to it in amarok config | 18:52 |
| John_User | thanks I'll give a try | 18:52 |
| Nick_Meister | tsimpson, so what could be wrong? | 18:52 |
| tsimpson | probably that the default NTFS driver is read-only, you need to use something called "NTFS-3g" to have read-write access | 18:53 |
| tsimpson | have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 18:53 |
| John_User | how could I switch from alsa to oss in amarok config? | 18:55 |
| John_User | through phonon link? | 18:55 |
| John_User | Does anyone use soundblaster 24 live! on Kubuntu? | 18:56 |
| amichair | tsimpson, Nick_Meister: I thought ntfs3g with read/write support has been the default for several years now... there shouldn't be any problem with an external ntfs disk running out of the box (I do it all the time) | 19:03 |
| tsimpson | amichair: me too, but I don't have any ntfs disks/partitions to check against | 19:03 |
| amichair | tsimpson: I have both internal and USB ntfs mounts, all working just fine | 19:04 |
| amichair | the only hiccup I see is a warning that it can't change permissions when copying to the disk (but this has no negative effect) | 19:05 |
| Nick_Meister | amichair, i thought so too but aparantly it did not work for me until i did that ntfs-config thing | 19:06 |
| amichair | Nick_Meister: is this on a stock kubuntu installation? which release? | 19:07 |
| Nick_Meister | kubuntu 10.10 | 19:07 |
| John_User | Does anyone use soundblaster 24 live! on Kubuntu 10.10? | 19:08 |
| amichair | Nick_Meister: how strange. I don't even have ntfs-config here. I wonder what was wrong... | 19:08 |
| Nick_Meister | amichair, i used sudo apt-get to get it | 19:10 |
| inashdeen | hi | 19:25 |
| inashdeen | anybody know how to change boot screen | 19:25 |
| yofel | inashdeen: in which release? | 19:31 |
| inashdeen | kde 4.5 | 19:31 |
| inashdeen | i installed kubuntu-desktop package on julia mintlinux | 19:31 |
| inashdeen | linuxmint | 19:32 |
| inashdeen | sorry | 19:32 |
| inashdeen | hi | 19:37 |
| inashdeen | this sound crazy | 19:37 |
| inashdeen | just wanna ask | 19:37 |
| yofel | inashdeen: I don't know much about Mint, but I'm guessing it uses plymouth too since julia seems to be quite new. In this case you want to look at the plymouth themes in the repos | 19:37 |
| yofel | inashdeen: and please be patient, if nobody answers you it means that nobody knows the answer to your question currently, not that you're ignored | 19:38 |
| inashdeen | no,no | 19:38 |
| inashdeen | not like that | 19:38 |
| inashdeen | first | 19:38 |
| inashdeen | both plymout | 19:38 |
| FloodBotK1 | inashdeen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:38 |
| FloodBotK2 | inashdeen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:38 |
| yofel | why do we have 2 floodbots... | 19:38 |
| inashdeen | ubuntu and kubuntu existed, | 19:38 |
| Pici | yofel: lag probably. | 19:39 |
| yofel | ah | 19:39 |
| inashdeen | so, how to choose between the two. second, i want to ask new question actually, let say we have two desktop environment, do kde and gnome choose between software? i mean, is there like google chrome is managed by kde, firefox by gnome | 19:40 |
| yofel | inashdeen: plymouth is configured by alternatives, 'sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth' for the graphical splash and 'text.plymouth' for the text splash | 19:40 |
| inashdeen | or something like that???? because since i installed kde, my google chrome is not smooth at all, and it is using kde cursor even in gnome session | 19:40 |
| inashdeen | yeah, the terminal thingy sound kind of scary, do u know any gui options | 19:41 |
| yofel | inashdeen: kde and gnome use different graphical libraries, but should work fine when the apps are used in the other desktop env. | 19:41 |
| yofel | inashdeen: there is kalternatives and galternatives | 19:42 |
| inashdeen | how is that again? | 19:42 |
| inashdeen | what is kalternatives and galternatives and how do i configure it | 19:42 |
| yofel | as for the cursor I'm not sure, there is a x-cursor-theme alternative which might interfere, but usually the desktop environments have their own cursor settings | 19:42 |
| yofel | inashdeen: first install them, then I'm not sure, haven't used them in ages | 19:43 |
| yofel | (you only need one of them, first is for kde second for gnome) | 19:43 |
| inashdeen | ok | 19:45 |
| inashdeen | kind of found a solution for the boot thingy | 19:45 |
| inashdeen | wanna ask | 19:45 |
| inashdeen | can i used both | 19:45 |
| inashdeen | and reconfigure things every time i change D.E | 19:46 |
| yofel | you can have both installed, just change the alternative when you switch DE | 19:47 |

| John_User | yes I can | 20:13 |
| collabra | John_User: and what options does it give you | 20:13 |
| John_User | all the options | 20:13 |
| John_User | just that | 20:13 |
| John_User | now I have only one channel | 20:13 |

| collabra | John_User: it's in the mixer,... ohhh | 20:14 |
| John_User | the channel is ca0106 Soundblaster Analog Stereo | 20:14 |
| John_User | Before install pulse | 20:14 |
| John_User | I could see all channels as described in alsa documentation for this device | 20:15 |
| John_User | except a switch "analog digital" | 20:15 |
| collabra | John_User: yeah,... pulse comes standard in kubuntu 10.10,... 10.10 sucks for me. too many bugs,... i suggest you go back to 10.04 and be happy and more importantly 'stable'.... my advice. | 20:15 |
| John_User | I unistalled pulse | 20:15 |
| John_User | tried alsa | 20:16 |
| John_User | and reinstalled pulse | 20:16 |
| collabra | John_User: it's in the mixer,... close to guaranteed. | 20:16 |
| John_User | I tried alsamixer also | 20:16 |
| John_User | the same problem | 20:16 |
| John_User | I have read somewhere that I have to disable digital output | 20:17 |
| John_User | This could by using a channell called "analog-digital switch" | 20:17 |
| collabra | John_User: you just need to mess with them all till you get your sound,... for example I'm using some intel based high def sound card,... and i've got three sliders for main sound alone,... | 20:18 |
| John_User | I don;t won't to use another disto | 20:18 |
| John_User | My souncard is intergrated on the mainboard | 20:19 |
| John_User | as standalone it is supported | 20:19 |
| John_User | but the motherboard is not list on HCL | 20:19 |
| John_User | I asked if someone uses soundblaster 24 live! cause | 20:21 |
| collabra | John_User: i'm only suggesting that you rely on and get to know 10.04 LTS...Long Term Service is the way to go. people who want the cutting edge software get cutting edge bugs...sall' i'm sayin. | 20:21 |
| John_User | there are a lot of posts on the forum and over the net | 20:21 |

| John_User | My soundcard could be combatible with an older version of Kubuntu 10.10? | 20:24 |
| John_User | I think not | 20:24 |
| collabra | John_User: yeah,... it's calll lucid lynx 10.04 LTS,... man, stick with a distro for a while. It's a good platform. | 20:25 |
| John_User | I just don't want to reinstall the whole OS just for a driver.. | 20:26 |
| John_User | and the n to be again dissapointed | 20:26 |
| collabra | John_User: look, you've been let down,... now, i'm sure there's a fix for your problem. but, just to have it in the first place has got to be frustrating | 20:27 |
| John_User | have you ever try lucid lynx? | 20:27 |
| John_User | Does it have gui installation? | 20:28 |
| collabra | 10.10 isn't a true distro... simply because it isn't maintained like lucid lynx | 20:28 |
| collabra | 10.10 will last for six months and then you will have problems with the upgrade all over again... | 20:29 |
| John_User | I am downloading 10.04.1 LTS | 20:30 |
| collabra | 10.10,... the way i've learned to see it anyway is just a technology display,... not meant to be stable secure or reliable. | 20:32 |
| John_User | the installation is via gui interface? | 20:32 |
| === stefan___ is now known as coutto | ||
| collabra | John_User: and then in a few years when 10.04 LTS is ready for an upgrade, they will get it right. | 20:33 |
| collabra | John_User: i believe so, yes. unless you got the 'alternative' 10.04 LTS disc. | 20:34 |
| John_User | ok | 20:34 |
| John_User | I'll give it a try | 20:34 |
| John_User | ! | 20:34 |
| collabra | John_User: the 'alt' disc is in text format | 20:34 |
| John_User | thank you for your time | 20:34 |
| collabra | John_User: np let me know how it goes | 20:35 |
| John_User | I am downloading the normal | 20:35 |
| John_User | where are you from ? | 20:35 |
| collabra | John_User: if i'm not at my computer i'll be in the room. | 20:35 |
| collabra | John_User: portland oregon,.. you? | 20:35 |
| John_User | greece | 20:35 |
| John_User | that's why my english is awful! | 20:36 |
| collabra | John_User: nice =) | 20:36 |
| John_User | anyway | 20:36 |
| John_User | cu! | 20:36 |
| collabra | John_User: don't forget to drop me a p.m. and tell me what you think of 10.04.... I'm sure it will be a more pleasant experience than 10.10 | 20:37 |
| bug27 | hi all, nube here | 20:37 |
| collabra | John_User: don't forget to drop me a p.m. and tell me what you think of 10.04.... I'm sure it will be a more pleasant experience than 10.101 | 20:37 |

| bug27 | no | 20:46 |
| collabra | 'headphones' isn't checked | 20:47 |

| bug27 | it's a laptop, ASUS K42F the 3.5mm jack is an headphone/mic jack in one | 20:47 |
| collabra | yeah,.. what about the 'headphone' check box on the 'mixer' | 20:47 |

| kyle_ | ??? | 20:53 |
| bug27 | when i rebooted this morning, some bugs were automatically fixed and i just clicked ok, then the internal speakers stopped working | 20:54 |
| collabra | bug27: did you install any software....? | 20:54 |
| bug27 | no extra software, i was listening to MP3's lat night with Amarok | 20:55 |
| bug27 | all ws good | 20:55 |
| collabra | bugs... automatically fixed,..? what were they,... do you remember any details. | 20:55 |
| bug27 | booted into Win7 to do some itunes stuff then back into Kubuntu | 20:55 |
| bug27 | sorry 3 bugs were auto fixed , i don't remeber | 20:55 |
| bug27 | is there a log file buried somewhere | 20:56 |
| collabra | bug27: cause', nothing is 'automatically fixed' in linux | 20:56 |
| yofel | bug27: do you mean updates installed? | 20:56 |
| bug27 | yes | 20:56 |
| yofel | bug27: /var/log/apt/history.log contains what was updated when | 20:56 |
| bug27 | can i get to that thru dolphin | 20:57 |
| yofel | should work | 20:57 |

| masaibana | Im trying to configure kppp out of default network manager on kubuntu, but I dont know how to make it work. Everytime I connect my pc, I got message: Unnable to querry modem. | 21:03 |
| masaibana | What I need to do to configure it right? | 21:03 |
| bug27 | ok, i'll work thru it, same snd issues with most other distro's as well | 21:04 |
| collabra | MaSa69: have you loaded the proprietary modem driver? | 21:04 |
| collabra | it's in 'system', 'settings', or 'utilities' off the main application menu | 21:06 |
| masaibana | when using default network manager, it works. I want to use kppp cause I think I can configure it better there..? | 21:06 |
| collabra | masaibana: there should be a green icon that says something like hardware drivers,... or somethin. | 21:06 |
| masaibana | no, nothing | 21:06 |
| collabra | masaibana: well,... good luck. | 21:07 |
| masaibana | I think I should shut down default network manager. But I dont know how. Am I right? | 21:07 |
| collabra | i'll never understand why people gotta go messing with something that works. | 21:08 |
| masaibana | It work slowly later these week.. | 21:08 |
| masaibana | I think I can overclock it, maybe...? | 21:09 |
| collabra | masaibana: that was probably because it's dialup... and not much to do with the program that connected you. | 21:10 |
| masaibana | Maybe missconfiguration or malware? | 21:11 |
| collabra | masaibana: cause it's the modem that keeps the connection and not the program. | 21:11 |
| collabra | the program just receives the data from the modem. | 21:12 |
| collabra | it to a degree controls the flow of data, but not the connection itself. | 21:13 |

| Roey | (any maintainer here?) | 21:17 |

| yofel | rork: and the *K*ubuntu devs are in #kubuntu-devel and only a few in #ubuntu-devel | 21:19 |
