[00:30] majidae: Please respond to me here. Have you tried installing 'ubuntu-desktop'? [00:31] no [00:31] should I do it now? [00:32] Please :) [00:32] sure ... one secound [00:33] done.. [00:33] what next... [00:39] majidae:That should install gnome [00:40] no it's didn't [00:42] majidae: Hrm. [00:42] majidae: You may want to ask in #ubuntu, that channel is a bit more active than this one. I'm a bit drained at the moment. [00:44] how i connect to #ubuntu [00:45] majidae: how *were* you trying to install gnome? [00:45] yofel: i didn't understand.. sorry [00:45] majidae: and type '/join #ubuntu' to join #ubuntu in the line were you write, #ubuntu-beginners is good too [00:45] majidae: well, what did you do to install gnome? [00:46] from Synaptic Package manager. typed gnome in the quick search and marked for install. [00:46] erm, I don't think anyone actually cares much about that package, it's a thing from debian [00:47] the proper way to install gnome in ubuntu is to install 'ubuntu-desktop', not 'gnome' [00:48] can someone help me to get webcam to work ? [00:48] Is there MAPI support in kmail, or do i need to install evolution? [00:49] someone told me camoso ??

[00:51] trying to google it [00:51] Ejdesgaard: IMAP and disconnected IMAP both [00:51] skafti_: what are you trying to get it to go in? [00:52] mine Just Worked [00:52] so I'm not much help [00:52] oh [00:52] Ejdesgaard: not until 4.6 [00:52] really? [00:52] skafti_: yeah, it depends on what you want to do really [00:52] it's gone backwards then [00:52] valorie: MAPI != IMAP [00:52] ah [00:53] I thought it was a typo [00:53] lol [00:53] mapi is exchange transfer stuff magic [00:53] interesting [00:53] IIRC openchange implemented a mapi akonadi resource [00:53] so earlist version with mapi support would be kmail 4.6 [00:55] Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l and a cheap noname webcam [00:55] going to use it on skype [00:56] does it not work right away? [00:56] plugged it in shows a light as soon as i plug it in an that is it [00:56] what more do you expect? ^^ [00:57] * apachelogger notes that supposedly one needs to configure it in skype directly [00:57] but im almost a complete idiot with this thing just moved from windows [00:57] hehe did not expect anything more thats why im asking you guys [00:57] just make a video call? [00:57] or go to the skype settings [00:58] skype is not really anything we can help with, since it is proprietary software and not even part of Kubuntu... :S [00:59] ok with kopete [01:00] same thing: just make a video call... [01:00] haha what do you know it works [01:00] :) [01:00] I'm running 10.04. Does Amorak interface to mp3 players specifically a Sansa? if so how? I can't find anything in Amorak's configuration to reference it. [01:01] mine worked with skype [01:01] which is no longer installed, I don't think [01:01] intrusive lil app [01:02] Scunizi: you shouldn't have to DO anything [01:02] just plug it in, and it should show as part of Local Collection [01:02] once Amarok is done scanning [01:02] valorie: should I be able to see it's connected somehow? [01:02] Everything works like a jiffy [01:02] yes, it should show up [01:03] might take a min, while all the info exchange is taking place [01:03] valorie: AH! after 3 minutes it just showed up on the Amorak Local Music section.. thanks! [01:03] cool [01:03] :-) === jackson_ is now known as jackson [01:35] have you been able to test the mapi support in 4.6 beta?

[01:50] ssh-agent ftw === moetunes is now known as well_laid_lawn [01:56] Hi all, can anyone tell me if there is a grub editor available that is similar to (as I recall) kgrubedit? it had a nice simple gui, and I've not been able to find it since upgrading to kubuntu 10.x -- I just want to be able to remove the older kernels from the list on my PC === ruben is now known as Guest99020 [02:19] Is amarok's library limited to 6 000 tracks? [02:20] can i set my num-lock key to on by default? [02:23] I don't know of a top limit [02:23] I have a tad over 20K tracks [02:23] and my collection isn't *large* [02:24] I've heard of one with over 100K tracks [02:24] VoLLi: I install numlockx for that and put it into autostarted apps [02:24] thankss :) [02:25] ok, I tried to enable invert in the desktop effects and it says that it isn't able to?? how can I enable invert? also other special effects wouldn't enable.

[02:26] your equipment and/or drivers have to allow [02:26] valorie: Kwin The following desktop effects could not be enabled. Invert [02:27] right I have ati and think I have the drivers enabled [02:27] http://pastebin.com/wxbsXxg8 [02:27] wow, that's not helpful [02:27] valorie: no not really. :) [02:28] valorie: the pastebin is my fglrxinfo I have ati and installed the drivers. [02:28] valorie: I had desktop effects in gnome, so it could be I'm missing something kde. [02:29] valorie: and my cube flips and turns??? so that is working [02:29] v. strange [02:29] I agree. :) [02:38] ok, simpler question, I have temp monitor widget on my desktop, I want it to display the temp with text too any ideas? [02:44] ubuntu4shane: when you hover, you should see a little wrench [02:45] that should let you configure it [02:45] if it doesn't have a text option, maybe another one does [02:45] valorie: ok, thanks [02:45] I didn't see a text option, looked for another, I will keep tinkering around, thanks [02:46] I have one invisible job running in the system tray since yesterday. How can I find more about it and terminate it? Here is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/fMB4k.png [02:46] weird, I don't recognize that symbol === wqapol_ is now known as wqapol [02:46] you might try top, and see what's running [02:47] sec [02:49] ubuntu4shane: which temp monitor? the plasma widget does show it as text too (if it's large enough) http://yofel.dyndns.org/pics/ext/temp.png [02:53] yofel: thanks! I didn't know that. [02:54] me neither until I played around a bit :P [02:54] I'm really quite impressed with KDE4, very nice [03:01] valorie: actually there are 225 processes running. Only xorg, plasma-desktop, ksysgaurd, kwin and amarok are using cpu, so it has become very diffult to identify this job [03:02] does hovering or right-clicking get you any information? [03:03] No except hovering directly on '0/1' pops up to say that, there is 1 running job. [03:04] system activity is another way to look [03:04] alt + f2, and then click the little graph [03:04] Thanks valorie - I will definitely look into that :) [03:04] it's possible that the little symbol will show in that, which would be a clue [03:05] of course, a lot of process have to run in modern computers [03:05] valorie: Isn't system activity and process table of system monitor the same, althought the title doesnt match [03:06] maybe [03:06] no little symbol doesnt show up [03:06] I thought you were looking at top [03:06] which is cli only [03:07] it's the symbol on the left of the input field [03:07] yeah iwas so, but it didnt show the full list of processes, so used system monitor. [03:07] (pressing ctrl+esc should open it too) [03:07] yofel: yeah it shows those icons for six apps only [03:07] cool [03:08] I forgot that, yofel [03:09] yofel, did you see wqapol's image? [03:10] I don't recognize the little symbol [03:10] nope? [03:10] http://imgur.com/fMB4k.png [03:10] yofel: http://imgur.com/fMB4k.png [03:10] lol [03:13] that's from left to right: show desktop | expand systray | ktorrent | amarok | kopete or konversation | kmix | quassel | knotify with something in progress - and I'm not sure what the icon in the notification is, but I've seen that somewhere before... [03:17] ok, the icon in the notification is /usr/share/icons/oxygen/16x16/apps/utilities-desktop-extra.png [03:18] wqapol: what of that did you look for? [03:20] yofel: great find! since yesterday, from utilities section I have used klipper and ark. Suspect ark because I did install 7zip unzipping package from apt-get [03:22] actually installed p7zip first from terminal, it didnt work so installed 7zip package from kpackagekit [03:23] jjj [03:26] Just recently, Kubuntu no longer plays DVDs.

[08:35] kubuntu [08:35] have you downloaded an ISO, which you are trying to write onto a USB key, to make a bootable USB key? [08:35] Yes. [08:35] ok [08:35] The usb creator is in this iso.

[08:36] I've read this thread. [08:36] Windows? [08:36] Yes. [08:36] ok, and that isn't covered in the thread? [08:37] at least, i didn't find it. [08:37] it's been awhile since I looked at that, looking [08:38] i've also downladed Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.1.7, which is mentioned in that thread. [08:38] This refuses to recognize the iso. [08:38] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ [08:39] is presumably what you will want to use; linked from that first article [08:39] I've downloaded that. [08:39] naturally you'll be using Kub. and later than 9.10, I assume [08:40] The "on screen documentation "says "Please choose your iso" [08:40] But it does not recognize it. It just recognizes the folders, not the iso. [08:40] you downloaded the Universal USB-Installer? [08:41] Yes, I have running it right now. [08:41] ok [08:41] Oh, wait.... [08:41] unfortunately, I have no windows puter, so I can't play along [08:41] I guess I have the error :) [08:41] I've choosen ubuntu 10.10 from the list, but in fact I have downloaded kubuntu 10.10 [08:42] good choice [08:42] :-) [08:42] that's what I'm running right now [08:42] I'm very excited. [08:43] so you found it? [08:43] right now, it's extracting the iso. [08:43] wonderful! [08:43] by the way, since i'm new: It's not a problem to use gnome progs like gimp or muse on kde, right?

(I don't know anything about bluetooth mouses) [10:24] Hello again. [10:24] I was here some time ago with problems 'bout kubunut and valorie helped me out :) [10:24] Now I'm chatting from quassel on kubuntu! [10:25] BATi: and please be patient, no answer after 5 minutes isn't uncommon if nobody is watching the channel at that time [10:25] shredding: :) [10:25] Now I'm really excited, but I can't get wlan to work. [10:25] May I ask for help? [10:26] sure, where does it fail? [10:26] lo no wireless extensions. [10:26] eth0 no wireless extensions.

(yes, please don't paste more than 3 lines into the channel, use a pastebin instead for more) [10:27] now i'm in with cable and it's no prob [10:27] yofel: eh, third party codecs, I need them to check out if my DVB-T dongle works right under kubuntu... the installer just told me that it cannot find them... [10:28] But if i go to network connecetion ("Netzwerkverbindungen" in german) and then to wireless ("Drahtlos") [10:28] it doesnt find any router. [10:28] BATi: hm, maybe install them from kpackagekit, I'm not sure how the packages are called though :/ (maybe refresh the package cache and try again [10:28] Do i have to install a 3rd party codec or so? [10:29] shredding: no, your output shows it recognises the card itself (wlan0) [10:29] yofel: well, I`ll try.... [10:29] well but it does say "no wireless extensions" either :) [10:30] shredding: ok... can you please disable wireless in network manager, enable it again and pastebin your /var/log/syslog [10:31] I'll try :) [10:32] anyway, the mouse problem is more important for me... under plain ubuntu, pairing is no problem, just under kubuntu... :( [10:32] Well, at first: How do i disable? There's only an "Add" button [10:33] shredding: which release do you use? (kubuntu version) [10:33] 10.10 [10:33] The latest, I downloaded it 2 hours ago [10:35] shredding: ok, then the dialog should look like this: http://yofel.dyndns.org/pics/ext/wifi.png - see 'enable wireless' on the bottom left? uncheck the box and check it again [10:36] hm, this doesn't even look close to my screen ...

[10:45] speedvin: works fine here [10:45] but "Drahtlos" equals "Wireless" and "Netzwerkverbindungen" is "Network connections" if it helps [10:45] yofel: I get connection timed out when updating repos ;) [10:45] shredding: erm, can you just click on the systray wireless icon? that should get you my menu [10:46] *systray network icon [10:47] speedvin: well, I can connect to launchpad fine, even from apt [10:48] yofel: now it's ok but it was broken moment ago [10:48] my launchpad page loads [10:48] 'twas a bit slow to start [10:48] well, i guess i appear like a total idiot, but there is no wlan icon in the systray [10:49] if you mean by systray the icons on the top right corner [10:49] shredding: how did you open the network settings? [10:49] i clicked the blue button on the bottom left [10:49] then went to system [10:50] !system configuration [10:50] and then to network settings [10:50] (the disconnected icon is an empty wired LAN plug iirc with a red X, got something like that?) [10:51] You mean in the task on the bottom right? Where alle the minimzed icons of my apps are? [10:51] yes [10:51] GOT IT! [10:51] Yay. [10:52] so now i disconnect and reconnect again? Just clickin on / off? [10:52] shredding: does it show your connection there? or if you click on the green + ? [10:53] it show "wlan unavailable" [10:53] i'll make a screenshot!
