[00:00] frankly if i can't find a fix i'll have to look for another player, cause this makes amarok pretty useless [00:02] drbobb: try it on a new user, if it works as it should there its a config problem [00:02] James147: i am on a new user. i just installed kubuntu on a brand new laptop a few days ago [00:03] drbobb: what version of kubuntu and amarok? [00:04] James147: current, 10.10 [00:04] what version of amarok? [00:04] ok so maybe the config got corrupted somehow, though it's only like the second time i'm playing any songs on this machine === david is now known as Guest14402 [00:05] 3.4.3/KDE 4.5.4 [00:05] sorry typo: 2.3.2 === Quylui is now known as asld [00:06] i guess nuking amarok's config files should be as good as creating a new user [00:07] drbobb: hmm, same version here... use to have a the same problem ages ago... not sure waht I did to fix it again, probally deleted amaroks configs [00:09] you might rename, rather than nuking [00:09] drbobb: you didn't play with the track progression button? [00:09] so you have access to your stats and such [00:09] indeed. better to save it and figure out what went wrong. [00:10] drbobb: we can help you in #amarok [00:10] if you are game to use it [00:10] like I said i just set it up the other day, i don't mind nuking the config and starting over [00:10] hi guys [00:10] ok [00:11] one thing you might try is changing phonon backends [00:11] there is gstreamer, vlc and xine to choose from [00:11] everyone has their favorite [00:11] Settings > Configure Amarok > Playback > Configure Phonon: Backends tab [00:12] xine seems to be the default [00:12] be aware that codecs can be backend sensitive [00:12] so if you change, be sure you have kubuntu-restricted-extras [00:12] which has them all [00:13] right now xine is the default, but that will soon change [00:13] Amarok devels want phonon-vlc [00:13] oh one weird thing is amarok wasn't changing the icon on the play button during playback [00:13] Kubuntu devels want phonon-gstreamer [00:13] that was a weird bug in 2.3.2 [00:13] it should be pause while playing, and it remained with the arrow [00:13] seems to be fixed now [00:14] right, I experienced that [00:14] now that i nuked the config it's back to normal [00:14] cool! [00:14] but i never did anything unusual to trigger the bug so i expect it to resurface [00:14] just so you know #amarok exists [00:15] ok thx [00:15] it seems that sometimes xine stutters on a bad tag or something [00:15] what's wrong with the xine backend? [00:15] and seems to give up, rather than just forging ahead [00:15] no one is maintaining it [00:15] I don't know the details [00:15] I have a compiz question: is it possible to have windows translucent by default? I've only figured out the keyboard toggling method [00:16] oh i see [00:16] yeah playback continues to next song [00:17] ok thanks again [00:18] binkula: in kwin you can, dont know about compiz though, you might want to ask on #ubuntu if no one else know here [00:19] thanks :) [00:19] binkula: any reason your using compiz instead of kwin? [00:20] well I'm using an emerald theme === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [01:10] if you can't pass to the Desktop from the LiveCD , what does that mean! [01:11] Sary: if I understand you right you booted the live cd and don't get the desktop showing is that right? [01:12] gr8m8, Thats right :) , and it's stuck at the Kubuntu installation window. [01:14] Tried all of those Boot parameters in F6 options list , non of them passed. [01:14] did you try the cd check? [01:14] IT's an LG E300 [01:15] I did , no fails. [01:16] Also , the "safe mode " option is missing form F4 mode options. [01:18] so it doesn't get past the menu - I'll have a quick google [01:19] Yeah , you know that installation process Window on the LiveCd , To try - install Kubuntu. [01:19] it gets stuck right there. [01:22] Sary: from here - http://community.linuxmint.com/hardware/view/1276 - it seems you need to put nomodeset as a kernel boot option at the menu [01:26] gr8m8, much appreciate it .. i'll look at it. [01:27] np :) [01:27] i remember selecting that option , with the same result. [01:28] in www.google.com/linux I used lg e300 as a search term and that was the first non data recovery disk option [01:29] What blow me away is that i tried booting with Linux Mint LiveCD .. i passed to the Disktop , i could move the mouse , but can't select anything with it. [01:29] Nice step on searching :D [01:29] seems there may be some settings X needs to use your hardware [01:30] You know what , am a try it that option again from Kubuntu .. just for you :) [01:31] heh :) [01:31] Yeah , but no clue to how could i go to that process. [01:32] I think F1 lets you add boot parameters but it has been a while since I had to do anything to boot into the live cd [01:32] also , when i selected those options .. it gets stuck at * Checking battery state .. [01:33] F1 , it is .. i'll look at it. [01:33] I've seen a few ppl with that issue - mostly on desktop comps with no battery [01:34] here , the battery is plugged in .. how about plugg in it off to see what happens [01:35] worth a shot [01:35] Alright. [01:36] So now , i should delete "--" and add nomodeset .. then what [01:37] hit b for boot iirc [01:38] should i delete "quiet splash" as well. [01:38] b it is. [01:38] if you delete splash you will get text output for the boot process [01:39] Ah [01:39] i hit b .. it enters with the Boot option line. [01:42] I am in .. [01:42] woot! [01:43] i passed to the Desktop , i hit Try Kubuntu :D [01:44] My bad , seems that i didn't know how to use those options [01:44] i just heard the KDE log in sound :) [01:45] and the mouse works ok? [01:45] Yes [01:45] sounds like it is all good so far then [01:46] Thanks a Bunch gr8m8 :) , i was trying for like 2 days now ! Wow [01:46] np :) [01:46] No , to the partition part [01:47] *Now [01:51] Hope it will last after the Reboot. [01:51] should do [01:53] Okay, waiting to pass to Disktop Setup .. [01:54] The installer crashed ! [01:58] all right I was in the wrong section [01:58] I have all windows transparent now [02:18] gr8m8, am on the last installation process Thanks to you :), much appreciate it .. cheers!

[06:27] and i get a horrid screaching when i turn my second one on.. >>; [06:27] dunno if thats related.. lol [06:28] Could it be that i installed a specific driver instead of (verison current)?

[06:30] nah current is 260 [06:30] saeia: current? yes.. should be better than 173 [06:30] alright activating that now. [06:30] izinucs: did u try ur "additional drivers" located in system of ur menu? [06:31] it will detect ur spacific driver [06:31] ryan__: I have no driver issue.. saeia might [06:31] \sorry [06:31] yea [06:31] brb restarting [06:32] i like my nouveau drivers now [06:33] yeah im getting the same errors still [06:33] saeia: what errors? missed that earlier [06:33] saeia: did u try ur "additional drivers" located in system of ur menu?

[06:39] old driver though [06:40] saeia: have you ever used a ppa? you might have better luck with newer drivers [06:40] saeia: you might need a more current driver. there's a ppa for that [06:40] cfraz89: x-swat? ppa? [06:40] nope.. [06:40] im pretty much brandnew to linux.. [06:40] was thinking nvidia-vdpau [06:40] cfraz89: yea .. that one has a link to x-swat for the driver.. 260+ [06:41] ah ok [06:41] cfraz89: walk him though how to add it to his sources and update to make the 260 "current".. I've gotta run.. [06:41] saeia: a ppa is a repo for a specific person/team [06:41] a good way to get new stuff [06:41] thanks izinucs [06:42] hmm [06:43] so how do i install one?o.o [06:43] i think in software center there is an option to add repositories? [06:45] where ? x.x [06:46] sorry dont have software center myself, using kubuntu [06:46] im using kubuntu also.. [06:46] ah ok [06:46] makes sense :D [06:47] yup espcially this being #kubuntu [06:47] lol [06:47] if you go to settings on the left side [06:47] then edit origins [06:47] not sure if 10.04 had the new interface for kpackagekit. im on 11.04 now :D [06:47] im on 11.04 too [06:48] edit orgins?

[06:52] if you do sudo apt-get upgrade, is nvidia in the list? [06:53] possibly not [06:53] i think the ppa uses a different name for nvidia drivers [06:53] i just see alot of ubuntu.com [06:54] I use Kubuntu/KDE alone but today while checking for updates I found language pack updates for gnome as well like language-pack-fr, language-pack-gnome-fr and language-pack-kde-fr... Why I'm getting updates for gnome as well? [06:55] saeia: apt-get upgrade? [06:55] it should ask before it starts [06:55] with a list of what will be upgraded [06:55] but i think nvidia-current wont be in the list [06:55] it http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release.gpg [06:55] Ign http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Translation-en_US [06:55] Hit http://archive.canonical.com lucid Release.gpg [06:55] Ign http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid/partner Translation-en_US [06:55] Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release.gpg [06:55] saeia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:59] wow i really have to make a swapfile lol [07:00] saeia: "sudo apt-get upgrade" should list upgrades first [07:01] i would say let that update everything [07:01] and then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers" [07:01] should jam the new ones in, possibly asking to uninstall nvidia-current === Jackson__ is now known as jackson [07:03] cfraz89: it says cant find package nvidia-graphics=drivers === mrcreativity is now known as Guest84702 [07:08] my fonts look funny...
