| BajK_ | how do I change the mouse pointer theme of the log in screen? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| yofel | BajK_: sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme | 00:07 |
| BajK_ | thx | 00:08 |
| BajK_ | is there a way of showing some kind of splash screen when going to hibernation/resuming | 00:09 |
| BajK_ | therer's just a blinky cursor | 00:09 |
| yofel | not that I know of :/ | 00:11 |
| abusski | i want a help to removed all virus on my computer | 00:17 |
| abusski | i want a help to removed all virus on my computer | 00:19 |
| yofel | abusski: how did you get a virus on your system? - there's clamav if you want to try it | 00:25 |
| yofel | great patience -.- | 00:26 |
| BajK_ | yofel: it does not list my theme | 00:33 |
| BajK_ | I just copied the index.theme of the openzone theme to /etc/X11/cursors and named it accordingly but it does not pop up in that list | 00:33 |
| yofel | no, you would need to add it manually since that is the alternatives system of dpkg, not sure how you do that though | 00:34 |
| surunveri | hi can someone help me with getting ktorrent or similiar work | 00:34 |
| surunveri | there's some package problems or such | 00:34 |
| BajK_ | hm or can I otherwise replace it. this index.theme links to the oxygen theme but I will not change that whole thing | 00:35 |
| Snowhog | yofel: Maybe the virus 'got him'! | 00:35 |
| BajK_ | m maybe I can set a fallback trhingie | 00:35 |
| surunveri | it used to work then suddenly stopped working im guessing a sy stem update caused it | 00:35 |
| yofel | Snowhog: let's hope not ^^ | 00:35 |
| yofel | surunveri: which release and which ppas do you use? | 00:35 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Not necessarily so. Some torrent sites are being blocked or taken down. What site are you trying to access? | 00:36 |
| surunveri | the program doesnt work | 00:41 |
| surunveri | not about sites | 00:41 |
| surunveri | i dont know what ppas i use i just dont use linux it just is there and i try to do other stuff | 00:41 |
| surunveri | and im fed up with all the trouble as u can see for i already spent 80 minutes on trying to fix this problem here on this channel and the solution was: it doesnt work, linux is shaite | 00:42 |
| surunveri | :D | 00:42 |
| surunveri | merry christmas | 00:42 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Many, many, many other users would take issue with that statement. | 00:42 |
| surunveri | yeah sure | 00:43 |
| surunveri | so should i try to reinstall kubuntu for teh Nth time or | 00:44 |
| surunveri | do you have any idea if there is an easy fix to ktorrent not working due to updates | 00:44 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: we simply can't answer the question, as we don't know anything about your PC, the version of Kubuntu installed, the version of KDE, or... | 00:45 |
| surunveri | i've kubuntu 10.04 | 00:45 |
| surunveri | i dont know about the version of teh KDE unless it has changed on it's own it's probably the same itw as upon installing 10.04 | 00:46 |
| yofel | surunveri: what happens when you start ktorrent, does anything happen? | 00:46 |
| surunveri | since we tried to fix this problem earlier i dont have ktorrent currently | 00:46 |
| surunveri | but here's what happened | 00:46 |
| surunveri | the day before yesterday ktorrent was working | 00:46 |
| surunveri | at somepoint, when i tried to start it, it didnt work anymore | 00:46 |
| surunveri | it opened the basic window with the torrents and such | 00:47 |
| surunveri | and then closed | 00:47 |
| surunveri | and a popup came up saying | 00:47 |
| surunveri | "drkonirc" is not writable and on the lower side of teh wwindow there reads something PID number and such details, and in brackets (segmentation fault) | 00:47 |
| surunveri | alright so I looked up this file and changed permissiosn to writable | 00:47 |
| surunveri | after that the same window comes up | 00:47 |
| surunveri | but it no longer says drkonirc is not writable, isntead it just says it happens for unknown reason | 00:48 |
| surunveri | and same segmentation fault at the bottom, again it briefly opens and then closes, ktorrent that is | 00:48 |
| surunveri | then i come here asking about what may have caused this | 00:48 |
| surunveri | since i've not done any modifications to the system other than applying automatic system updates | 00:48 |
| surunveri | i had trouble seeing how this could suddenly be | 00:48 |
| surunveri | so the first things that were suggested as fixes were something like | 00:48 |
| surunveri | commandlien command for "purge" packet ktorrent and then install | 00:49 |
| surunveri | and other commands like that. remove. reinstall. install. in anycase | 00:49 |
| surunveri | in the process the error was | 00:49 |
| surunveri | a list of packages that could not be installed, or that were to be installed | 00:49 |
| surunveri | about 15-25 items in the list i cant remember | 00:49 |
| surunveri | but it also seems to have removed ktorrent | 00:49 |
| surunveri | so after brief discussion this guy says i should probably update to 10.10 kubuntu, and that it's not recommendable unless i can backup system data | 00:50 |
| surunveri | and that i have 'old files' and theyre not comaptible with new files | 00:50 |
| surunveri | so from that i concluded | 00:50 |
| surunveri | teh system update gave me like library files that are intended for some newer version of kubuntu, while i actually still haev an older kubuntu | 00:50 |
| surunveri | and therefor they dont work | 00:50 |
| surunveri | and the original sin was to naively apply teh system updates | 00:50 |
| surunveri | so got any idea? | 00:51 |
| surunveri | i wouldnt want to go through anything enormous like reinstalling a newer OS because if I've to do that, i might just as well be sensible and fetch a copy of XP since the experience of using kubuntu | 00:51 |
| xriva | perhaps #kubuntu is a bad place to be asking this, but does anyone have a suggestion regarding the path I should take to get started in the linux community? I am considering the following: A) Ubuntu running gnome B) Kubuntu C) PC-BSD | 00:52 |
| yofel | surunveri: ok, can you please open a Konsole and pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy ktorrent' and 'apt-cache policy kdelibs5' please? | 00:52 |
| yofel | !pastebin | 00:52 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 00:52 |
| surunveri | ok | 00:53 |
| surunveri | http://pastebin.com/1wZ38UQT | 00:55 |
| yofel | ok, you're using the kubuntu updates PPA which is good, but also a custom ktorrent package from another ppa | 00:57 |
| surunveri | i've no idea about that | 00:57 |
| surunveri | i installed it from a kubuntu image, ktorrent came with it | 00:57 |
| surunveri | yesterday when trying to fix this, i believe someone gave me a command which i pasted into terminal | 00:57 |
| surunveri | that applied the ppa or whatever it is | 00:57 |
| surunveri | http://pastebin.com/e1nb8tm0 | 00:58 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: I'd be suggesting commenting out the custom repository entry. Run sudo apt-get update afterwards and then install ktorrent from the standard repos. | 00:59 |
| yofel | right, that should at least make it installable again | 01:00 |
| surunveri | so what's the custom repository entry coz i've no idea hw this works | 01:00 |
| dasKreech | bigbrovar: ping | 01:01 |
| surunveri | if i do egt it working | 01:02 |
| surunveri | should i not apply system updates in the future to avoid unecessary trouble? | 01:02 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: With standard repositories, running system updates to installed packages is almost never a problem. | 01:03 |
| yofel | surunveri: can you press alt+f2 and then run 'software-properties-kde' (not sure where that is in the lucid menu) | 01:03 |
| surunveri | is there any reason to apply them? | 01:03 |
| yofel | surunveri: er, 'kdesudo software-properties-kde' | 01:03 |
| yofel | surunveri: usually yes, and if after disabling the ppa ktorrent is still broken please file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+filebug | 01:04 |
| yofel | updates should never break something | 01:04 |
| surunveri | really? | 01:05 |
| surunveri | :P | 01:05 |
| surunveri | what world do you live in | 01:05 |
| yofel | surunveri: erm, I said *should* | 01:05 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: The world of user experience. :) | 01:05 |
| surunveri | so | 01:06 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Debian's package management system, which *buntu uses, is very, very good, and very stable. | 01:06 |
| yofel | surunveri: do you have software sources open? | 01:06 |
| surunveri | yeah | 01:06 |
| yofel | surunveri: go to 'other software' and search for 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/linuxfreedomlucid ...' there | 01:07 |
| surunveri | i removed it | 01:07 |
| yofel | good, close software sources, go to konsole, run 'sudo apt-get update' and install ktorrent | 01:08 |
| surunveri | ok.. | 01:09 |
| surunveri | it seems to work | 01:09 |
| surunveri | thanks for the help | 01:09 |
| yofel | see if ktorrent works now or if it still crashes | 01:09 |
| surunveri | yea as soon asi t installss | 01:10 |
| surunveri | it does work | 01:11 |
| surunveri | so basicly | 01:11 |
| surunveri | because i for some reason had a non-standard repository, which i dont think i've added myself | 01:11 |
| surunveri | the system update didnt work properly | 01:11 |
| surunveri | and the packages didnt update properly and it caused some inconsistency ? | 01:11 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Yes. package version inconsistancies. This can happen when non-standard repositories are used along with the official ones. | 01:12 |
| yofel | well, that repository had a ktorrent version that was built with kubuntus backports ppa it seems, that will only installs if you add that repository too, but I'm not sure if you want that | 01:12 |
| surunveri | i dont know what backports ppa means | 01:13 |
| yofel | surunveri: don't worry about it, Snowhog is right | 01:13 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: I'd suggest that you don't worry about it - for now. | 01:13 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Stick with the official repositories. Don't add repositories you don't know or understand. Install packages available from KPackageKit. | 01:14 |
| surunveri | yeah maybe i'll try that | 01:15 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: If I may ask, how long have you been using Kubuntu and/or Linux? | 01:15 |
| surunveri | 6months | 01:16 |
| surunveri | or so | 01:16 |
| surunveri | why so? | 01:18 |
| surunveri | during the time i've had to install kubuntu 4 or 5 times | 01:18 |
| BajK_ | hm -.- whenever i attach my monitor to my notebook, plasma crashes and cannot be restarted (always crashes on startup then) until the monitor is deactivated or specified a clone of the notebook screen | 01:18 |
| surunveri | in comparison to 7 years of using XP i had to reinstall it once because i rebooted it from a switch while a service pack installation was in progress | 01:18 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Just curious as to how much user experience you have gained. Nothing more. Six months is a reasonable time frame, so you have likely learned a fair amount thus far. | 01:18 |
| surunveri | yea except | 01:19 |
| surunveri | i dont use linux u know? | 01:19 |
| surunveri | i use other stuff | 01:19 |
| surunveri | it just gets in the way | 01:19 |
| FloodBotK2 | surunveri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:19 |
| surunveri | i dont even do much with computer right now | 01:19 |
| surunveri | play a java webstart game, go it's a board game. go to 4 different online chat places like facebook and similiar, download stuff with ktorrent to watch | 01:20 |
| surunveri | and use irc sometimes that's basicly it | 01:20 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: "i don't use linux" "it just gets in the way" - Huh? Why then, did you install it? | 01:21 |
| surunveri | my HD died | 01:22 |
| surunveri | i didnt have winxp | 01:22 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Good reason. ;) | 01:22 |
| surunveri | although i actually thought | 01:22 |
| surunveri | linux might be good but | 01:22 |
| surunveri | well it isnt | 01:22 |
| surunveri | .D | 01:22 |
| surunveri | maybe more secure | 01:23 |
| surunveri | i dont know if it's secure but havnt hand any trouble at leaset | 01:23 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: I tell all *new* users to Linux who come from a Windows world, "Linux is not Windows." Linux is a very solid 'alternative' to Windows and Mac for that. But it isn't everyones 'cup of tea.' | 01:23 |
| surunveri | yea | 01:24 |
| surunveri | the main problem i suppose is that everything is aimed at windows | 01:24 |
| surunveri | so software availability is reduced on linux | 01:24 |
| surunveri | though there's wine but out of the 2 programs i've thought of running with wine neither worked | 01:24 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: I use Windows Vista at work (no choice there) and Linux at home. I very much like Linux Kubuntu. | 01:25 |
| surunveri | yea vista is terrible i agree with that | 01:25 |
| xriva | snowhog, i am a win7 user, thinking about migrating over | 01:25 |
| xriva | can I run flash on kubuntu? | 01:26 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Okay. So we got you going again with Ktorrent. As long as you have Kubuntu, if you run into any other issues, or have questions, you know where we are. | 01:26 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Yes. | 01:26 |
| surunveri | yea sorry for complaining | 01:26 |
| surunveri | while also asking for help but | 01:26 |
| surunveri | well.. it gets annoying over time to run into problems every now and then | 01:27 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Frustration is understandable. We've all experienced it. | 01:27 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: prolems every now and then? You run Windows. That statement is non-sensical! :) | 01:28 |
| surunveri | i dunno | 01:29 |
| Snowhog | xriva: If you haven't already, install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:29 |
| surunveri | i never had any serious trouble with windows | 01:29 |
| Snowhog | surunveri: Never had a BSOD? | 01:29 |
| surunveri | although it did require a bit of tweaking | 01:29 |
| surunveri | on the sysetm i had before | 01:29 |
| surunveri | hd died | 01:29 |
| surunveri | i had only 1 problem | 01:29 |
| surunveri | if a program crashed the screen sometimes didnt reset but i had a fix for that | 01:30 |
| BajK_ | what do I need for the webcam to function? | 01:30 |
| surunveri | didnt happen often but sometimes. bluescreen? I dont remember having one | 01:30 |
| xriva | snowhog: I am trying to decide which OS I want to try first via a live cd......i've never used unix other than a semester with bash shell and a few minutes spent on a KDE machine about 6 years ago | 01:31 |
| xriva | i am thinking kubuntu | 01:31 |
| xriva | but i' | 01:31 |
| Snowhog | xriva: A good choice. What are your PCs specs? | 01:31 |
| xriva | i've heard suggestions to try gnome, gentoo, and pc-bsd as well | 01:32 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Kubuntu is a solid Linux distro. | 01:32 |
| xriva | specs are no problem this is a core i7 860 with 4gb of ram | 01:32 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Video card? | 01:33 |
| xriva | nvidia 8600gts | 01:33 |
| sfears | hello | 01:33 |
| xriva | but, on second thought, I would most likely be installing on a permanent basis on an old dell machine | 01:34 |
| Snowhog | xriva: I'd suggest downloading the Kubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 LiveCD .iso and burning it. Try it out in the LiveCD environment. Test everything out. | 01:34 |
| yofel | haven't used pc-bsd yet, gentoo is a bit complicated on the configuration side and updating takes a whlie since you need to compile everything locally - the repository only ships the source code, rather try arch linux. I used gnome for a while, and ubuntu is good, I just prefer KDE | 01:34 |
| xriva | thanks guys for the tips | 01:34 |
| xriva | I like KDE from my limited experience, and I am looking for something that can do youtube, office apps, and gimp | 01:34 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Kubuntu will do those and more. | 01:35 |
| xriva | great! i think i've made up my mind | 01:35 |
| sfears | is anyone familiar with the compiz/emerald no widow border issue with ati cards? my decorations disapeared and i'm stumped | 01:35 |
| xriva | i read that pc-bsd is good for first timers, but then I learned that it doesnt support flash on firefox | 01:35 |
| xriva | bummer | 01:35 |
| yofel | xriva: note: kubuntu and ubuntu share the same software, so you can do all of that with both, just the desktop looks and works different | 01:36 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Kubuntu. Try it. You'll like it. :) | 01:36 |
| yofel | agreed | 01:36 |
| xriva | and kubuntu seems to have a much larger support base.....and friendlier dudes like you guys | 01:36 |
| sfears | agreed, try Kubutnu | 01:36 |
| xriva | thanks a lot everyone | 01:36 |
| Snowhog | xriva: smaller support base actually, but yes, IMHO, a much friendlier lot! | 01:37 |
| xriva | larger by comparison to PC-BSD is what I meant, but i dont really know, just going by what I've seen around the web | 01:38 |
| xriva | i could very well be wrong about that | 01:38 |
| yofel | our support base is smaller than ubuntus, but if it's not a question related to a KDE app or a question about the system itself they'll help you too in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners | 01:39 |
| Snowhog | xriva: In the *buntu world, Ubuntu (Gnome) is the Big Brother. Kubuntu is the 'little brother' and doesn't get as much attention by the parent (Canonical). That said, though, Kubuntu is one tough ombre. | 01:39 |
| sfears | is there a way to remove things from the boot that hang, before the kubuntu splash even hits the screen at a step after "loding init-scripts bottom" it hangs for about 15 seconds and then finally switches over to the kubuntu splash and login. Any ideas how to remove the step from boot? | 01:40 |
| xriva | it is my understanding that gnome is a window manager for ubuntu, whereas kubuntu is KDE running on a version of ubuntu optimized for KDE.....is taht correct? | 01:41 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Yes. | 01:41 |
| yofel | meh, sfears is gone, bootchart can show what makes the boot hang | 01:41 |
| Snowhog | yofel: Likely a polling of a USB device that might have been connected, but isn't now. | 01:42 |
| yofel | sfears: install 'bootchart' - reboot - and check the graphic in /var/log/bootchart what takes longest in your boot process | 01:43 |
| xriva | my plan is to take an old DELL box I have sitting around (P4 hyperthreader with 2GB ram...integrated video and sound) and install an alternative OS on it so I can get some experience with a linux based environment | 01:44 |
| xriva | im hoping to install something that will be as painless as possible to get started with | 01:44 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Both Ubuntu and Kubuntu (and for that, all the other *buntus) utilize the same kernel. What we see when we log in is the Desktop Environment being used - the DE. Ubuntu uses the Gnome Desktop, and Kubuntu uses the KDE Desktop. | 01:44 |
| xriva | and also support the proprietary hardware that requires dell specific drivers when running windows | 01:45 |
| Snowhog | xriva: The difference between the two is primarily in the development tools used to create the packages used. | 01:45 |
| xriva | i guess the next step is to get myself a live cd and pop it in | 01:47 |
| xriva | should I expect it to boot up right into a desktop environment? or should I prepare myself for a lot of fooling around? i think im gonna start with kubuntu | 01:48 |
| xriva | thanks to everyone here for your patience with my newbitude | 01:49 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Booting a LiveCD of Kubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 should 'just work' on your rig. | 01:49 |
| xriva | i'm grabbing a 32-bit iso of kubuntu 10.10 right now....I take it the install disk will double as a live cd? | 01:51 |
| yofel | yes | 01:52 |
| xriva | awesome | 01:52 |
| xriva | and score! win7 can burn iso's without any special software | 01:55 |
| === jackson_ is now known as jackson | ||
| Snowhog | xriva: When burning the .iso, use DAO (Disc at Once). | 02:07 |
| xriva | will do | 02:07 |
| Snowhog | xriva: That's a setting, not a program. | 02:07 |
| xriva | hehe thanks | 02:07 |
| xriva | i figured an iso would be disk at once by default | 02:08 |
| Snowhog | xriva: I "try" not to assume what I take for granted. | 02:08 |
| xriva | actually, one time I think i was using nero or something, burned an iso to disk in windows file system | 02:08 |
| xriva | was NOT what i was expecting when I put it in the drive heheh | 02:08 |
| Snowhog | xriva: Make sure that you verify the MD5SUM on the downloaded .iso before you burn. Save you a lot of grief. | 02:09 |
| Snowhog | xriva: The LiveCD has an option on the initial menu to install. Don't do that. Select the option to try. That boots you into the Desktop. Check everything out. Video. Sound. Internet. If all works to your satisfaction, then you can plan to install from within the LiveCD environment. There is a link on the desktop to do so. But, you should prepare you HD beforehand using a partitioning utility. GParted LiveCD is what most use. | 02:14 |
| xriva | great! thanks for the enlightenment | 02:14 |
| Snowhog | What OS is on your PC at the moment? | 02:15 |
| xriva | I have the machine sitting around getting dusty, i dont even remember if the HD has anything on it.....it was formerly win xp sp3 | 02:15 |
| xriva | but it may not even have an HD installed at the moment | 02:15 |
| xriva | is having a HD plugged into mobo a requirement for booting off a live cd? | 02:32 |
| Snowhog | xriva: In an old system, with an IDE controller, I think 'yes.' | 02:34 |
| Snowhog | xriva: But don't quote me on that. | 02:35 |
| neji49 | Would anybody be interested in helping me out a little bit? | 04:00 |

| goomy | hi | 11:47 |
| goomy | do you guys answer here questions about system ? or this is general chat channel? | 11:48 |
| yofel | no this is a support channel, idle chat is in #kubuntu-offtopic | 11:49 |
| goomy | thanks | 11:49 |
| goomy | i have a question, just did reinstallation of my 10.10 and wanted to see system in different language | 11:50 |
| goomy | switched it to different language and back to english but.. half of the | 11:50 |
| goomy | thigs are still in second language | 11:50 |
| goomy | is there a way to roll this back to english ?(default) | 11:51 |
| freinhard | goomy: already tried to log out and log in? | 11:51 |
| goomy | yes did that million times , what i've done i change locale to polish from english | 11:51 |
| goomy | and back | 11:51 |
| goomy | then i uninstalled polish totally from languages | 11:52 |
| goomy | switched english uk to default system | 11:53 |
| goomy | even installed english us | 11:53 |
| goomy | but still locales are mixed up | 11:53 |
| iconmefisto | goomy: look in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and see what the locale settings are there | 12:16 |
| iconmefisto | cd | 12:16 |
| goomy | [Locale] | 12:19 |
| goomy | Country=gb | 12:19 |
| goomy | DateFormat=%A %d %B %Y | 12:19 |
| goomy | Language=en_GB:en_US | 12:19 |
| FloodBotK2 | goomy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:19 |
| goomy | locale seems to be ok , locale -a returns only english but still half of the apps etc are in polish... | 12:19 |
| iconmefisto | goomy: are kde apps in the right language? | 12:20 |
| goomy | in the launchers for example system settings are in polish | 12:20 |
| goomy | and its mixed up | 12:20 |
| goomy | in system settings: i have for example Workspace Appearance and behaviour : under all icons with polish text | 12:22 |
| goomy | be right back need to check something | 12:23 |
| iconmefisto | goomy: try running this: kbuildsycoca --noincremental (and then maybe log out/in again) | 12:24 |
| goomy | re | 12:42 |
| fire`lala | hey | 12:42 |
| goomy | o/ | 12:42 |
| fire`lala | I'm using rekonq from the natty repository and the default encoding is iso-8859-1 which obviously leads to problem with many web pages | 12:43 |
| fire`lala | does anybody know how to change the default encoding used by rekonq? | 12:43 |
| iconmefisto | fire`lala: it's in the menu "encoding" | 12:45 |
| iconmefisto | fire`lala: "set encoding" | 12:45 |
| fire`lala | yes, but that does only change the encoding for the actual page and not the default? | 12:45 |
| fire`lala | at least there's no "set default encoding" or anything similar there | 12:46 |
| iconmefisto | fire`lala: choose which you want, then tick "default" in the same submenu | 12:47 |
| fire`lala | huh? | 12:48 |
| fire`lala | that just reverts back to the default, which is iso-8859-1 | 12:48 |
| goomy_ | k i fixed my problem, install -f / locale-gen and all back to normal | 12:56 |
| goomy_ | thanks | 12:56 |

| BajK | hm weird, plymouth is no longer working on my notebook | 14:29 |
| BajK | it's just a blank screen, then a few console messages appear and then the log in screen appears | 14:29 |
| BajK | lol okay now plymouth is displayed again?! o.O weird | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | BajK, don't worry about it , as long as you can log in. I've seen that a few times after kernel upgrades etc . | 14:44 |
| BajK | hm.. :( | 14:44 |
| BluesKaj | don't gt hung up on it , plymouth is flaky windowdressing | 14:45 |
| BajK | I want a consistent look on my notebook, sort of Mac-Like. I did a Grub kubuntu theme (the blue color background (grub because there is windows as well)), a kubuntu plymouth theme, kubuntu kdm theme and kubuntu kde splash, so there is a consistent look after the acer splash disappeared till the desktop appears | 14:47 |
| BajK | but plymouth does what it wants do. I don'T care about error messages or stuff. I just want to have anice look. and thats it | 14:47 |
| BajK | and on shutdown theres [drm:atom_op_jump] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing CB9E error messages all over the place | 14:48 |
| BajK | maybe plymouth doesn't get working with the intel graphics since i disabled the ati one | 14:48 |
| BajK | hm okay, *remember* just don't REstart the notebook and all is fine :D | 14:50 |

| rtdos | i'm using codeblocks to compile a c++ program in my home directory and i'm getting a permission denied error, can anyone help? | 17:20 |
| yofel | rtdos: Kdevelop and Qtcreator | 17:20 |
| yofel | codeblocks is a bit easier for plain c++ though | 17:20 |
| rtdos | yofel, thank you. | 17:20 |
| yofel | rtdos: what's the exact error? | 17:20 |
| rtdos | hold on i'll copy and paste. | 17:21 |
| rtdos | sh: /home/jeff/Workspace/hello_world: Permission denied | 17:23 |
| yofel | rtdos: can you open a Konsole and print what 'ls -l /home/jeff/Workspace/hello_world' says? | 17:23 |
| rtdos | Process returned 126 (0x7E) | 17:23 |
| fujioka | Anyone know of a guide for speeding up KDE on Kubuntu? | 17:24 |
| rtdos | -rw-rw-rw- 1 jeff jeff 139 2010-12-25 10:18 /home/jeff/Workspace/hello_world | 17:24 |
| yofel | rtdos: that's the executable that was generated? if yes, that need a chmod +x hello_world to work | 17:25 |
| rtdos | so codeblocks won't execute it automatically? | 17:26 |
| rtdos | or set the permissions it needs to compile and run the application? | 17:26 |
| yofel | more like it made a mistake when generating the executable, it generated it without executable permissions and then tried to execute it | 17:26 |
| hellojones | how can I check if my dvb cards driver is loaded? | 17:27 |
| nerdy_kid | anyone try 4.6rc1 out? | 17:27 |
| yofel | nerdy_kid: yes | 17:28 |
| rtdos | yofel, is there a way to change it so that it sets permissions automatically? | 17:28 |
| nerdy_kid | yofel: how is it going? any show stoppers/highly irritating bugs? | 17:28 |
| yofel | rtdos: probably, but I'm don't use codeblocks myself so I don't know where | 17:31 |
| yofel | odd that it doesn't do that by default though (bug?) | 17:31 |
| rtdos | could it be the directory itself? | 17:31 |
| rtdos | nevermind i just answered my own question. | 17:32 |
| yofel | nerdy_kid: rc1 is loosing my gtk style settings on logout here which is a bit annoying, otherwise it works mostly fine | 17:32 |
| nerdy_kid | yofel: cool, 4.5 looses (unless I hard set it in gtkrc) my gtk theme anyway, so I guess its upgrade time for me :) | 17:33 |
| rtdos | doh! | 17:33 |
| nerdy_kid | yofel: did they implement smooth scrolling in dolphin yet? | 17:35 |
| * BluesKaj goes with the QtCurve settings ... fewer probs with font setup for nondefault apps etc on a large monitor / tv | 17:41 | |
| BluesKaj | except chromium toolbar , it doesn't integrate with kde at all so the fonts are unconfigurable and are too small to read | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | <---stuck with FF which is becoming bloated and slow IMO | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | rekonq isn't the answer either , almost as clunky to set uip as konqueror used to be | 17:44 |
| nerdy_kid | BluesKaj: try oxygen-gtk IT IS AMAZING | 17:46 |
| nerdy_kid | integrates everything (exept mozilla apps due to their gtk hacks) perfectly | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | nerdy_kid, if Iwanted gtk I'd be running gnome :) | 17:46 |
| nerdy_kid | BluesKaj: no oxygen-gtk is the oxygen theme for gtk apps. thus everything looks the same | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | nerdy_kid, fine but kde qtcurve is fine for my needs , my only problem is chromium fonts on a 42" scrn | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | chromium bookmarks toolbar to ne exact | 17:49 |
| BluesKaj | to be | 17:50 |
| BajK | what's the kde desktop sharing program? I have krfb for sharing the desktop but how do I access them? I remember KDE having a VNC viewer? No longer? | 17:58 |
| nerdy_kid | BajK: krdc | 17:59 |
| BajK | got it | 17:59 |
| BajK | thx | 17:59 |
| nerdy_kid | np :) | 17:59 |
| sourcemaker | I have a problem with gpg and kmail... when I try to sign a mail... I receive the error message: wrong passhrase... but there is no dialog to enter the passhrase? | 18:04 |
| sourcemaker | kde 4.6 rc1 | 18:04 |
| BluesKaj | sourcemaker, you need to set the passphrase in the kmail acct settings and be sure to click apply | 18:07 |
| sourcemaker | BluesKaj: the same problem occures in kmymoney... | 18:07 |
| sourcemaker | it's a gpg related problem I think | 18:07 |
| sourcemaker | befor I have installed to update... there was a input dialog to enter the key... | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | I haven't used kmail in a while ...gpg in kmail? | 18:09 |
| sourcemaker | yes... | 18:09 |
| sourcemaker | it's well integrated to kde | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | kmail is kde | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | never knew kde was linked to gpg in kmail | 18:10 |

| surunveri | hi | 22:12 |
| surunveri | for some reason the computer is now running very slow and when opening system monitor it says CPU 100% at the bottom although the processes combined CPU% are not close to 100, but it works faster than what it would if it was completely in use but still very slowly | 22:13 |
| surunveri | also in the processes list there's an item called apache2 owned by root | 22:13 |
| surunveri | and 8-10 other apache2 owned by www.data- something | 22:14 |
| surunveri | any ideas? | 22:15 |
| surunveri | i removed the apache things but it's still slow, i tired rebooting some time ago too | 22:15 |
| surunveri | :D | 22:19 |
| surunveri | i think this appeared yesterday aftering changing to official ppa and doing sudo update | 22:19 |
| surunveri | but i didnt really do anything that would've required lots of system resources so i cant confirm D: | 22:19 |
| surunveri | and even now im tryin to play this browser billiard game, which isnt important and i dont really care about that, but it shows clearly how everything now is slow. :D | 22:20 |

| yofel | surunveri: what does top report as system load and in the 3rd line? (Cpu) | 22:32 |
| surunveri | top process? 13% | 22:33 |
| yofel | surunveri: no, run 'top' in Konsole | 22:33 |
| surunveri | ok | 22:33 |
| surunveri | which one here is cpu load? | 22:34 |
| surunveri | is it these two us and sy? | 22:34 |
| yofel | you should have 'load average: ...' and paste the complete cpu line | 22:34 |
| surunveri | niin ei kannattais alkaa | 22:35 |
| surunveri | oho sorry | 22:35 |
| surunveri | the copy didnt work and it jsut gave whatever was on clipboard | 22:35 |
| surunveri | load average: 1.14, 1.19, 1.40 | 22:35 |
| surunveri | idk what that means though | 22:36 |
| surunveri | load average: 1.14, 1.19, 1.40 | 22:37 |
| surunveri | load average: 1.14, 1.19, 1.40 | 22:37 |
| surunveri | sry | 22:37 |
| yofel | well, that looks right | 22:37 |
| surunveri | this top keeps refreshing so | 22:37 |
| yofel | surunveri: press q and copy then | 22:37 |
| surunveri | Mem: 1026460k total, 800960k used, 225500k free, 37196k buffers | 22:37 |
| surunveri | i've a browser java-applet, 2 irssi and system monitor running | 22:38 |
| surunveri | seems a lot of memory usage? | 22:38 |
| yofel | surunveri: what's the swap line? | 22:38 |
| surunveri | Swap: 999416k total, 21684k used, 977732k free, 330180k cached | 22:38 |
| surunveri | anyway | 22:38 |
| yofel | nah, you've got 330M used as system cache, so your mem usage is below 500 | 22:39 |
| surunveri | isnt that a lot though? | 22:39 |
| surunveri | idk or maybe kubuntu uses a lot | 22:39 |
| surunveri | :D | 22:39 |
| yofel | well, it does a bit | 22:39 |
| yofel | surunveri: since your system seems fine, what's your graphics card? do you have compositing enabled? | 22:40 |
| surunveri | i dont remember disabling it | 22:40 |
| surunveri | what does compositing mean? | 22:40 |
| surunveri | this was running fine 2 days ago | 22:40 |
| surunveri | just sayin.. it's an old computer though radeon9600 | 22:40 |
| surunveri | anyway | 22:40 |
| surunveri | in system monitor at bottom | 22:41 |
| surunveri | it says CPU 100% | 22:41 |
| surunveri | and sometimes falls temporarily to other values | 22:41 |
| yofel | which system monitor? | 22:41 |
| surunveri | the one u get from startmenu, applications, system, and that says "system monitor" | 22:41 |
| surunveri | isi t normal to have 137 processe? | 22:42 |
| nerdy_kid | surunveri: yup | 22:43 |
| yofel | yes, I've got 223 here | 22:43 |
| nerdy_kid | 234 here | 22:43 |
| yofel | surunveri: and that sysmon says CPU: 100% below the graph? | 22:43 |
| surunveri | in the footer section of teh window | 22:44 |
| surunveri | in the 'system load' part where the graph is | 22:44 |
| surunveri | it fluctuates steadily between 20, and other values | 22:44 |
| surunveri | well idk.. | 22:45 |
| yofel | hm... but then top should show a process actually using that :S | 22:46 |
| surunveri | yeah there isnt one | 22:46 |
| surunveri | but this still runs slowly. Idk if it says 200% if it runs fine :-D | 22:46 |

| yofel | hm, indeed, maybe try 'iotop -o' to see if something's running | 22:51 |
| surunveri | anyway im gonna reboot again brb | 22:52 |
