| atum | hello everyone .....just installed kubuntu last night . no sound . any help | 00:55 |
| Scutum | hello, Im trying to get my girlfriend to switch to linux, what would be the most recommendable user friendly easy to use version? | 00:56 |
| atum | ubunto or debian ... if migrating from linux install kde cause it has an interface that looks like windows | 00:57 |
| atum | sorry i meant migrating from windows | 00:58 |
| atum | there is a lot of online support and with 3 or 4 commands she will be able to install almost anything | 00:59 |
| Scutum | why should I pick kubuntu instead of ubuntu? | 01:00 |
| matematikaadit | atum: what did you mean with no sound? | 01:00 |
| atum | well it has sound on the login , but if i play a video it has no sound | 01:01 |
| atum | i have the alsa drivers updated | 01:01 |
| James147 | Scutum: the main difference between kubuntu and ubuntu is the desktop envrioemtn, ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu use kde... which is better is an entrly presonal prefence and I suggest you try both and see which you think she will like more | 01:03 |
| James147 | :p | 01:03 |
| atum | true | 01:04 |
| atum | i like both but i believe for a fresh windows migrator kde kinda gives them a extra motivation | 01:06 |
| MrUnagi | why is samba sharing so difficult in kubuntu | 01:11 |
| matematikaadit | atum: what kind of machine do u use? | 01:12 |
| atum | gateway m series | 01:13 |
| atum | gateway m-6823a | 01:13 |
| atum | when i do a lspci i get "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 01:15 |
| atum | uname -a "2.6.32-27-generic-pae #49-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 00:07:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux" | 01:15 |
| EagleScreen | MrUnagi: samba sharing has many improvements in the current development, you will see them in Kubuntu 11.04 | 01:18 |
| * James147 has been waiting for those improvements since 10.04 :p | 01:19 | |

| BajK | Where can I get a full list of installed packages? I know there is dpkg -l which is fine but how can I get this list "external" i.e. when running another linux? | 02:47 |
| BajK | is there a plain text file or something that contains a similar list? (names of packages would be sufficient) | 02:48 |
| well_laid_lawn | !clone | BajK | 02:54 |
| ubottu | BajK: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 02:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | bbiab | 02:54 |
| BajK | eh... that's no answer to my question | 02:55 |
| rtdos | i changed themes, to one of the other built in themes and when my mouse hovers over close, the icons disappear, is this normal? | 03:12 |
| rtdos | actually i'm talking about the window decarations. | 03:15 |
| rtdos | decerations. | 03:15 |

| === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway | ||
| rtdos | damn. can't spell tonight. | 03:15 |
| James147 | rtdos: try loggin out and back in, if that dosent fix it then there is probally a problem with the theme | 03:15 |
| rtdos | OK. the theme in question is olympic | 03:16 |
| rtdos | it worked, james, but my oxygen icons are messed up. | 03:19 |
| rtdos | is there a cache somwhere i need to clean out? | 03:19 |
| rtdos | actually it's my crystal icons that are messed up. | 03:20 |
| James147 | rtdos: whats messed up about them? | 03:23 |
| rtdos | they look corrupted / scrambled | 03:24 |
| James147 | rtdos: :s then try changing the icon theme theme | 03:29 |
| rtdos | i did. the only one that seems to work without looking corrupted is monochrome. | 03:31 |
| rtdos | james, is there a cache or something i need to clean out or how do i reisntall the icons themes? (i'm using the one that came with kubuntu using the sudo apt-get install kde-all option) | 03:35 |
| rtdos | i haven't installed any extra icon themes. | 03:36 |
| James147 | rtdos: not sure if reinstalling would help... (also dont know the package name :) ) and I dont know exactly where the cache might be (try the ones in .kde) | 03:37 |
| James147 | or .icon | 03:37 |
| rtdos | ok i'll look there. | 03:38 |
| rtdos | what does .cache contain?> | 03:38 |
| rtdos | there is no single utility to delete cache files and folders is there? | 03:41 |
| James147 | rtdos: dont know exactly, :) but I have delteded it before... without any noticaly side effects | 03:44 |
| rtdos | ok. | 03:44 |
| rtdos | ok. deleted i'm gonna reboot and see if that helps. | 03:45 |
| rtdos | when minimizing and maximizing windows is there a way to adjust the animation speed? | 03:55 |
| James147 | rtdos: system settings > desktop effects there you should beable to adjust the global animation speed, or indivdually on some of the effects | 03:58 |
| Paddy_NI | Does anyone know how to get maximised windows to undecorate in kde? | 03:58 |
| Daskreech | rtdos: should be | 03:58 |
| Daskreech | with desktop effects | 03:58 |
| Daskreech | Paddy_NI: write a script for it | 03:59 |
| rtdos | i'm not sure what i'm looking for. | 03:59 |
| * James147 knows that plasma-netbook does it by default, but dosent know how to make plasma-desktop it off by hand | 03:59 | |
| Paddy_NI | Daskreech: you are forgetting the "first become a programmer" bit | 03:59 |
| Paddy_NI | :) | 03:59 |
| James147 | rtdos: on the general tab of desktop effets "animation speed:" | 03:59 |
| Daskreech | Paddy_NI: You'd be surprised how simple they are to write | 04:00 |
| rtdos | doh! if it were a snake it would've bit me. :) | 04:00 |
| Paddy_NI | aint got the time or real interest at the moment | 04:00 |
| Paddy_NI | was really just wondering what plasma-netbook uses to achieve this effect | 04:00 |
| Daskreech | Scripts | 04:01 |
| Daskreech | well rules | 04:01 |
| Paddy_NI | Does it perhaps add a rule to window specific overrides | 04:01 |
| Daskreech | but effectively the same thing | 04:01 |
| Paddy_NI | I wonder what the line is | 04:01 |
| * James147 has a feeling you can add an option to ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktoprc... but is unsure | 04:02 | |
| Paddy_NI | hmm | 04:02 |
| Paddy_NI | maco: Mind sharing your brain for a sec? | 04:04 |
| Daskreech | James147: might be possible. The rules are in plasma-netbook so might be able to toggle them there | 04:04 |
| James147 | ^^ hmm dosent seem to be doing it in plasma-netbook here :s | 04:06 |
| Paddy_NI | I am using the air for netbooks theme but its not really changing anything | 04:06 |
| James147 | duh... kwin not plasma... http://hanschen.org/2010/04/01/hide-window-border-for-maximized-windows/ | 04:08 |
| Paddy_NI | James147: Excellent man thanks a bunch :) | 04:09 |
| rtdos | ha! ha! ha! i think i found a bug in either kde, kubuntu, or firefox: i just changed my icon settings, desktop effects, etc. and lost my forward / backward icons in firefox. relation somehow? | 04:11 |
| rtdos | i just duplicated it, too. | 04:12 |
| BajK_ | rtdos: would you mind posting it to kde bug tracking system? (: | 04:14 |
| BajK_ | or at mozilla | 04:14 |
| rtdos | where ? | 04:14 |
| rtdos | should i post it in both? | 04:14 |
| James147 | !bug | 04:15 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 04:15 |
| rtdos | any idea where or how to report it to mozilla ? | 04:17 |
| James147 | rtdos: might not be mozillas problem, I would report it to ubuntu first | 04:18 |
| James147 | (as far as I know kubuntu dose some things to intergrate firefox better with kde | 04:19 |
| James147 | firefox-kde-support << is responsible for that i think | 04:19 |
| rtdos | OK, will do. thanks guys. | 04:20 |
| rtdos | what's the difference between aptitude and apt-get ? | 04:26 |
| James147 | rtdos: they are two different programs that essentially do the same task... | 04:26 |
| Daskreech | rtdos: one does more helpy stuff one is more configurable but really annoyingly split up | 04:27 |
| James147 | rtdos: I prefure aptitude over apt-get as I find it more intuative to use... and it has a nice terminal-gui when run without arguments :) | 04:27 |
| Daskreech | and it's the one app whereas Apt needs like 4 different commands | 04:33 |
| Daskreech | apt-get apt-cache apt-file apt-cdrom | 04:34 |
| iLinux | how to change WM in kubuntu to compiz? | 04:34 |
| rtdos | ahaoa, ok, thanks james. | 04:35 |
| Daskreech | iLinux: compiz --replace | 04:35 |
| James147 | iLinux: System settings > deafult applcations > window manager .... | 04:36 |
| rtdos | under desktop settings how do i set the translucency for the task bar? | 04:36 |
| James147 | iLinux: but I have to ask, whats wrong with kwin ? :) | 04:36 |
| James147 | rtdos: you dont, thats a theme thing... need to edit the theme or use one with the transparency you want | 04:36 |
| iLinux | James147: i don't know, often i change decor (download) it's close automatically, but there's no response with the Decor | 04:37 |
| rtdos | oh. ok. | 04:37 |
| iLinux | oh... oh yea.. I need to change to KDE first. | 04:38 |
| tiago | hi... how do i install codec "vcdxrip" in k3b? | 04:41 |
| iLinux | Sorry how to change WM to compiz again? | 04:42 |
| James147 | iLinux: System settings > deafult applcations > window manager .... | 04:42 |
| Daskreech | iLinux: compiz --replace | 04:43 |
| rjwiii | Does KDE have a applet like gkrelm for monitoring the MB? | 04:52 |
| woodzy | does anyone know why radio tray does not work under kde ? | 04:53 |
| Tm_T | rjwiii: there is several, most simple is system load viewer | 04:56 |
| rjwiii | Tm_T: I like how gkrelm stays on the desktop ... where is "system load viewer"? | 04:58 |
| Tm_T | rjwiii: in desktop, rightclick and select "add widgets" | 04:59 |
| valorie | woodzy: what is "radio tray"? | 05:02 |
| valorie | I've never heard of that | 05:02 |
| woodzy | a radio player that sits in the system tray - http://radiotray.sourceforge.net/ | 05:03 |
| woodzy | wonder if it needs some of the libraries from gnome? | 05:03 |
| woodzy | it loads in the tray but won't play any stations. | 05:04 |
| timboy | anyone know how to use the ubuntu SSO from login.ubuntu.com as an openid? | 05:04 |
| valorie | did you load it from packages? | 05:04 |
| valorie | it should have pulled in what it needs | 05:04 |
| woodzy | yes i used sudo apt-get install to retrieve it. | 05:05 |
| valorie | sec | 05:05 |
| woodzy | do you see it valorie? | 05:12 |
| valorie | yes, sorry | 05:20 |
| valorie | can you start it from the console, so you get some readout when you try to use it? | 05:20 |
| valorie | because there could be a number of problems | 05:21 |
| valorie | perhaps it isn't "calling out" -- telling the station "send me a stream" | 05:21 |
| valorie | the stream itself could be dead, or the URL mangled | 05:21 |
| valorie | you could have sound problems- it's playing, but you can't hear it | 05:22 |
| valorie | if you are using gstreamer, that doesn't stream | 05:22 |
| valorie | oddly enough, given the name | 05:22 |
| valorie | I have an old dog who gets restless at night sometimes | 05:25 |
| valorie | plays most media formats (based on gstreamer libraries) | 05:26 |
| valorie | afaik, gstreamer as a backend to phonon doesn't work on streaming | 05:26 |
| valorie | but maybe it's used directly, rather than as a backend | 05:27 |
| valorie | in general, KDE uses phonon with backends | 05:27 |
| Daskreech | valorie: :-) Hah nice observation | 05:31 |
| valorie | lots of experience with Amarok and streaming | 05:32 |
| valorie | but thanks | 05:32 |
| valorie | I've tried to use other stuff to listen to radio, but I always come back to Amarok | 05:33 |
| Daskreech | i'm ashamed to say I use kaffiene for that | 05:33 |
| valorie | no shame to anyone | 05:33 |
| valorie | use what you like | 05:33 |
| valorie | as do I | 05:33 |
| valorie | my husband is a Windows user | 05:33 |
| valorie | lol | 05:34 |
| geekosopher | valorie: I use mpg123 for radio, 0/ | 05:35 |
| Daskreech | valorie: Ah poor man :) | 05:35 |
| Daskreech | Argh | 05:36 |
| geekosopher | Daskreech: frugal living is a virtue | 05:36 |
| geekosopher | ;) | 05:36 |
| Daskreech | trying to make a deb and it keeps coming out with only the config files | 05:36 |
| geekosopher | its 70MBs vs. 600KBs Daskreech | 05:36 |
| Daskreech | geekosopher: I like a touch of indulgence | 05:36 |
| Daskreech | geekosopher: hitting Ctrl+F9 is a nice pleasure for example | 05:37 |
| geekosopher | Daskreech: nice, its the first time I came to know about it ;) | 05:38 |
| Daskreech | So I guess i shoudl prompt you to try typing the name of the program that you want? | 05:39 |
| valorie | well, it would be better to do it in an actual console | 05:41 |
| valorie | so you have the output to look at | 05:41 |
| valorie | dunno if f9 will do that for you | 05:41 |
| geekosopher | valorie: when I open a .pls file in amarok, it adds 3-4 items in playlist; all playing the same channel, is it the file or amarok? | 05:43 |
| Daskreech | valorie: guess you haven't tried Ctrl+F9 :) | 05:43 |
| valorie | that would be the file | 05:45 |
| valorie | I've never seen that | 05:45 |
| valorie | give the file URL and I'll try it | 05:45 |
| valorie | the stuff I'm listening to now is just funny | 05:46 |
| * valorie is listening to Engel by Rammstein on 20 Years on MTV: 1997 [Amarok] | 05:46 | |
| valorie | lol | 05:46 |
| valorie | I like the whistling | 05:46 |
| geekosopher | any http://listen.sky.fm/public3/guitar.pls valorie | 05:46 |
| valorie | just one stream | 05:47 |
| * valorie is listening to Stream (http://u15c.sky.fm:80/sky_guitar) [Amarok] | 05:47 | |
| valorie | which leads me to believe they have more than one format or something | 05:48 |
| geekosopher | hmm | 05:49 |
| geekosopher | valorie: thanks, just wanted to confirm :) | 05:51 |
| valorie | np | 05:52 |
| valorie | by the way, I "added stream" with the same URL you gave me | 05:52 |
| geekosopher | ok, I downloaded the .pls file and opened it with amarok, should that be any different? | 05:54 |
| valorie | downloaded? | 05:54 |
| valorie | hmm | 05:54 |
| valorie | I've never tried to download a stream | 05:55 |
| geekosopher | yes, when I go to sky.fm website, they have the list of files. clicking on one of them, downloads that '.pls' file | 05:55 |
| valorie | I just used the playlist top menu, add stream | 05:55 |
| valorie | interesting | 05:55 |
| valorie | you know you can get the skyfm script within Amarok | 05:56 |
| valorie | that will probably get you the best functionality | 05:57 |
| geekosopher | no! how? | 05:57 |
| valorie | as you'll be able to browse their streams within the Internet part | 05:57 |
| Daskreech | http://debian.pastebin.com/rK7nPFkD Can anyone look at the errors that I'm getting when I try to make the deb package for Coova Chilli | 05:57 |

| valorie | hmmm | 06:03 |
| valorie | well, you can look at KDE-apps.org | 06:03 |
| valorie | and see what's up with the file | 06:04 |
| geekosopher | sure | 06:04 |
| valorie | there may be more than one? | 06:04 |
| valorie | I ahve coolstreams , play ogg, and shoutcast installed | 06:05 |
| valorie | shoutcast doesn't seem to work very well | 06:05 |
| valorie | all of them have dead stations | 06:05 |
| valorie | I think people get tired of keeping the scripts current | 06:05 |
| valorie | of course I should give them bug reports, so boo on me for not doing so | 06:10 |
| DaemonFC | shoutcast is AOL, they already said they were hostile to non-AOL implementations | 06:12 |
| valorie | oh, I didn't know that | 06:14 |
| valorie | maybe I should just ditch it, and try icecast instead | 06:14 |
| valorie | all of the streaming scripts seem to have dead spots, so far | 06:15 |
| valorie | some parts full of content that works | 06:15 |
| valorie | other parts, dead link after dead link | 06:15 |
| DaemonFC | VLC dropped Shoutcast after AOL threatened them | 06:16 |
| DaemonFC | that's the last I've bothered with it | 06:16 |
| valorie | that's why it is no longer a basic part of Amarok | 06:16 |
| valorie | only a script | 06:16 |
| valorie | oo|o to 'em | 06:17 |
| valorie | I think I installed it to test something for someone | 06:17 |
| valorie | geekosopher: looks like you have to download and uncompress outside of Amarok before installing it via the Script Engine | 06:20 |
| geekosopher | ok | 06:22 |
| geekosopher | valorie: read the comments at the bottom of the app page at kde-apps.org? http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/SkyFm+Script?content=133322 | 06:25 |
| geekosopher | I am trying it, hope the problem doesn't show up | 06:25 |
| valorie | well, months ago we had a problem in the script engine window | 06:27 |
| valorie | in the get new stuff part | 06:27 |
| valorie | but that's been fixed for a long time | 06:27 |
| geekosopher | ok | 06:27 |
| valorie | so if you are reasonably up to date, shouldn't be a problem | 06:28 |
| valorie | I know a lot of the devels use the script, or at least listen to skyfm | 06:28 |
| geekosopher | valorie: just downloaded the tar file, then 'Install Script' from Script Manager and selected the tar file... it works great! | 06:39 |
| valorie | \o/ | 06:40 |
| geekosopher | and now no multiple items in the playlist :) | 06:40 |
| valorie | did you quit amarok and start again? | 06:48 |
| geekosopher | yes, it asked me to | 06:48 |
| valorie | sometimes that is the magic | 06:48 |
| valorie | well, hmm | 06:48 |
| geekosopher | after restarting I had to activate the plugin manually | 06:49 |
| valorie | ok | 06:49 |
| geekosopher | I don't know if those two steps could be avoided | 06:50 |
| geekosopher | you would know better, you are the devel ;) | 06:51 |

| Shruikhan | Hallo at all | 11:07 |
| Shruikhan | Hallo at all. I want install in dual boot ubuntu and kubuntu by doing a separate installation of the two os.es. I know how to do all the process, but my doubt is regarding a partition.I usually use 4 partition /boot / swap /home. Now, i consider to install ubuntu by using this partitioning system, and after i'll install kubuntu. For Kubuntu i'll share home by a different user account | 11:08 |
| Shruikhan | and swap but what about the boot partition?think to share that partition by mountig /boot of kubuntu on that | 11:08 |
| Peace- | Shruikhan: well | 11:13 |
| Riddell | Shruikhan: why do you want to dual boot? ubuntu desktop and kubuntu are different GUIs for the same base system | 11:13 |
| Peace- | Riddell: i have the same stuff | 11:13 |
| Peace- | ubuntu install a lots of gtk stuff | 11:13 |
| septam | waddup | 11:13 |
| Peace- | menu got messed up then if you instal kde too | 11:13 |
| septam | waddup | 11:13 |
| Peace- | Shruikhan: well i will use only this / /home and spaw | 11:14 |

| javier_ | hi! I think my problem is recurrent but, is it already possible to solve the problem with black rhombus with "?" in KDE4? Thanks | 13:02 |
| javier_ | I know I can rename the file using konsole, but I would like something permanent... | 13:03 |
| rethus | have upgrade to maverick with many problem, cause i had before lucid-backports. | 13:14 |
| rethus | now many packages are still lucid | 13:14 |
| rethus | how can i reinstall (for example) kubuntu-desktop) with all dependecies with downgrade to maverik package | 13:15 |
| rethus | in past, i think in synaptic i could mark all and use "reinstall all marked" but this is not possible anymore - all options like that are grayed out | 13:15 |
| === hoergenoid is now known as hoergen | ||
| rethus | and if i change a package in synapic, he try to remove other packeges instead of solving dependencys and downgrade them too | 13:16 |
| rethus | why the reinstall-option is always deactivate in synaptic? | 13:18 |
| yofel | rethus: no idea about the reinstall button in synaptic, haven't used it in months, but for kubuntu-desktop you need to remove it and install it again, reinstall doesn't do anything useful (and try muon instead of synaptic btw.) | 13:27 |
| yofel | rethus: for KDE you might have to add the kubuntu updates ppa (ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa) for maverick though so it get's updated right | 13:29 |
| rethus | so i have to change to init 3 | 13:29 |
| yofel | rethus: no, and init 3 doesn't do anything useful anyway | 13:29 |
| rethus | or can i remove and reinstall out of thw xsystem? | 13:29 |
| yofel | rethus: sure, 'kubuntu-desktop' is just a meta package, removing it won't remove anything else | 13:30 |
| rethus | but i'm afraid, reinstall doesn't happend | 13:31 |
| rethus | cause all this lucid-packages has tair own dependencys | 13:31 |
| rethus | and maveric-stable is older than lucid backports | 13:31 |
| rethus | so what to do? | 13:31 |
| yofel | rethus: add kubuntu-ppa/ppa | 13:31 |
| rethus | only chance to get also maveric-backports? | 13:31 |
| rethus | but then, i will have the same trouble like these days if i try to dist-upgrade ?! | 13:32 |
| yofel | well, probably no, lucid backports had 4.5.3, maverick updates has 4.5.4, so it should update fine | 13:32 |
| rethus | problem in past was, that the upgrade process seems NOT to pay attention on packports-repos even if its enterd. | 13:33 |
| rethus | so i have add maverick backports bevore dist-upgrade... but doesn't worked | 13:33 |
| rethus | whats with the future... if i take now maverick-backports... will there be problems to upgrade to normal (stable) next distribution? | 13:34 |
| yofel | rethus: I never said to enable maverick backports | 13:35 |
| yofel | I said *updates* | 13:35 |
| rethus | but ppa is packports - or i'm wrong? | 13:35 |
| yofel | no, backports is 'kubuntu-ppa/backports', updates is 'kubuntu-ppa/ppa' | 13:35 |
| rethus | how can i add this to kpackagekit... only type in kubuntu-ppa/ppa ? | 13:36 |
| rethus | or ppa: kubuntu-ppa/ppa | 13:36 |
| yofel | ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa | 13:36 |
| rethus | yofel: great, 224 updates... | 13:38 |
| rethus | i'll try | 13:38 |
| rethus | thanks | 13:38 |
| yofel | thank me after it works.. | 13:38 |
| rethus | :D | 13:38 |
| rethus | but why this ppa-packages not by default activated? | 13:39 |
| rethus | i'll be glad if i get a clean maveric back... in future i keep off backports and experimental repositories | 13:40 |
| yofel | rethus: because NO ppas are activated by default since they're not part of the official kubuntu release | 13:40 |
| rethus | who made this ppa repos, | 13:41 |
| yofel | (the updates ppa exists since the kubuntu developers didn't have permission to upload KDE point releases to the ubuntu archive) | 13:41 |
| yofel | that was changed recently, but getting that into official -updates takes a while | 13:41 |
| rethus | yofel: so some developers keep the system uptodate and put it in thair own repos on ppa ? | 13:41 |
| javier_ | hi! I think my problem is recurrent but, is it already possible to solve the problem with black rhombus with "?" in KDE4? Thanks | 13:43 |
| yofel | rethus: well yeah, the problem was that KDE is pretty large, and putting so many changes into -updates has some risks. So since they couldn't update KDE the official way the kubuntu developers decided to use a PPA | 13:43 |
| javier_ | I know I can rename the file using konsole, but I would like something permanent... | 13:43 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, k3b automatically checks the md5sum and that is nice, however if I don't have the md5sum, then that probably doesn't mean much right? | 13:59 |
| tsimpson | without something to compare the sum to, no | 14:00 |

| rethus | seems not to hold my settings for next restart. | 14:35 |

| Shruikhan | I cant enable subwoofer | 14:36 |
| Shruikhan | can someone help me?? | 14:36 |
| rethus | maverick seems to have some good updates, but i hate the pulseaudio-upgrade. | 14:37 |
| rethus | :( | 14:37 |
| rethus | only problems since the first second | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | rethus, open alsamixer in the terminal, and set the ctrls there | 14:46 |
| rethus | i do this yesterday | 14:46 |
| rethus | nevertheless the soundsettings was not saved | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | Shruikhan, same for you , open alsamixer in the terminal, use the F keys to find the LFE, ctrl use the arrow keys to control the volume | 14:48 |
| rethus | i think using pulseaudio is only usable for ubuntu - means gnome. Cause for kde there seems to be no stable apps for using it. | 14:49 |
| rethus | fact is... i have to use padevchooser, gnome-alsamixer ... this are all gnome apps. Hope kde will soon implement some pulseaudio-stuff. | 14:51 |
| rethus | i restart again | 14:56 |
| rethus | and all in kmix audio is muted | 14:56 |
| rethus | if i activate ... scratchy - overloaded sound | 14:56 |
| rethus | so i have to change mic 2 to mic1 and back to mic2 than the sound not scratchy | 14:57 |
| rethus | whats this? | 14:57 |
| Shruikhan | hallo..? | 14:58 |
| Shruikhan | can i troll someone? | 14:58 |
| yofel | rethus: you could go to #kubuntu-devel and ask what you should file a bug against for that | 14:59 |
| yofel | rethus: and you *can* try to remove pulseaudio, if it's not there phonon should fall back to alsa (or try to put 'autospawn = no' into ~/.pulse/client.conf and reboot) | 15:01 |
| yofel | Shruikhan: troll no, but I fear there's just nobody here that knows the answer for your subwoofer problem currently | 15:02 |

| shane4ubuntu | ok, everytime my mouse (trackball wireless usb) sets idle for a few moments, it disconnects, and I have to pick it up and hit reconnect on the bottom of my trackball with a pen, this is terrible annoying, just started today out of the blue???? Any ideas? | 15:49 |
| shane4ubuntu | is it pre 2011 desktop jitters??? :) I would think it would have to do with power management, but not sure, | 15:50 |
| shane4ubuntu | Well, here is some info uner Input Devices, Cordless Optical Trackman it says this: You have a logitech mouse connected, and libusb was found at compile time, but it was not possible to access this mouse. This is probably caused by a permissions problem - you should consult the manual on how to fix this. | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | shane4ubuntu, batteries ? | 15:53 |
| shane4ubuntu | BluesKaj: I wouldn't think, usually if it is the batteries, it hitting the connect button on bottom doesn't reconnect it. | 15:53 |
| shane4ubuntu | BluesKaj: could be they are getting low though?? I"m not sure. | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | shane4ubuntu, if you run wireless stuff like KB and mouse then buy a cheap battery tester .. it will come in handy in these situations | 15:55 |
| shane4ubuntu | BluesKaj: well, when I ran gnome it would alert me that my mouse battery was low, so there wasn't a need. | 15:56 |
| Daskreech | Or rechargeable batteries | 15:56 |
| shane4ubuntu | I'm a partially converted gnome user | 15:56 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: those are what I have and use. :) | 15:56 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: Come in We have Kake and Kookies :) | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | I use one and if the batteries drop below 50% then I have probs | 15:56 |
| shane4ubuntu | I guess I will change the batteries and see if that helps | 15:57 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: how about Koffee with Kaffine? | 15:57 |

| shane4ubuntu | arrrgh, ok, seems none of my batteries are working in ths thing now | 15:59 |
| * shane4ubuntu breaks out the multi-tester to go on a battery testing spree | 16:00 | |
| BluesKaj | rtdos, I tried trayradio ... it din't work for me either , some dependencies are depracated according to the errors I got whem launching from the cli | 16:01 |
| shane4ubuntu | very odd one battery reports 1.3 and the other 0.3 odd, I would think they would die evenly | 16:02 |
| rtdos | a gnome only app, perhaps? | 16:02 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: no reason why they should. | 16:03 |
| Daskreech | batteries are very analog :) | 16:03 |
| shane4ubuntu | I guess, that is odd though | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | shane4ubuntu, I encountered the same thing ..uneven usage in the same device | 16:03 |
| Daskreech | sitting in the store with one facing out to the sun would ruin that one while protecting the rest | 16:03 |
| Daskreech | Lots of reasons why batteries discharge at different rates | 16:04 |
| rtdos | BluesKaj - http://kde-apps.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=220x221x56x57x58 - any other players for kde like radiotray that don't use Amarok? | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | rtdos, where in that page does it say radiotray uses amarok? | 16:07 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, we are getting slightly off topic here, but if they discharge un-evenly, in the mouse, I just take them both and and put them in the charger, seems like that wouldn't be good for them??? They are NiHM not NiCad ?? | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | dunno shane4ubuntu | 16:08 |
| rtdos | it doesn't. the homepage for radiotray is here - http://radiotray.sourceforge.net/ | 16:08 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, two new batteries and we will see if that works better. | 16:08 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: yeah but not a lot you can do about it. The two of them being different levels puts pressure on the higher volt one | 16:09 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: I think it is the Battery manufacturer's way of ensuring you buy new rechargeable batteries, a conspirist theory. :) | 16:10 |
| * shane4ubuntu actually needs to weed out his old bad recharable batteries, and replace them. | 16:11 | |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: They can't overrule physics | 16:11 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, thanks again guys for helping me with such a silly problem. | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | rtdos, maybe if you use the sourceforge version , it will work , since compliling will require you to install all required dependencies etc | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 16:13 |
| rtdos | i tried that. the sourceforge version is .61 while the kpackagekit version is .62 (oddly). | 16:17 |
| rtdos | doh! | 16:17 |
| Daskreech | rtdos: ha what's the svn status of the code? | 16:17 |
| rtdos | blueskaj, i installed minitube which installed the gstreamer and now it works. so i wonder why it's not installing all the libs it needs from the kpackagekit? | 16:18 |
| rtdos | daskreech, how do i fine the svn status of the code? | 16:18 |
| rtdos | according to his blog it was updated last week. | 16:18 |
| Daskreech | rtdos: I just mean how long ago was .61 put out. .62 might be very close to being released and some distros are more gungho to ship new stuff than others | 16:19 |
| Daskreech | Well some packagers at least | 16:19 |
| rtdos | according to his blog .61 was just released. | 16:20 |
| rtdos | december 22 is the date on the blog for .61 | 16:21 |
| Daskreech | rtdos: Oh wow Hmm | 16:25 |
| Daskreech | Maybe kpackagekit has a timemachine package? | 16:25 |
| rtdos | yea, thats what i said daskreech | 16:29 |
| shane4ubuntu | can I tar a file and limit it's file size to like 50mb chunks? or only with zip? | 16:38 |
| tsimpson | shane4ubuntu: you can tar it, then split it up into 50MB chunks | 16:39 |
| tsimpson | hint: look at the "split" command | 16:39 |
| shane4ubuntu | tsimpson: ok, thanks! I will check that out. | 16:39 |
| Daskreech | or you can use -L | 16:42 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: -L? I found k to specify size | 16:45 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: ohh, I see, I was reading some apparently old doc: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/utar.htm | 16:47 |
| vinnie_ | is there a way to adjust speaker balance in kde4? | 16:47 |
| fanfare | Hi Folks, is there an lanmap(2) alternative already in repos? | 16:52 |
| shane4ubuntu | tsimpson: ok, I found this explaining split, but I too am stumped on how to undo something like that then. | 16:55 |
| shane4ubuntu | http://forums.devshed.com/unix-help-35/creating-multivolume-tar-files-with-incrementing-name-427839.html tsimpson the link. :) | 16:55 |
| tsimpson | cat is a good way to join files ;) | 16:55 |
| tsimpson | eg: cat my_archive.tar.gz.* > my_archive.tar.gz | 16:56 |
| shane4ubuntu | tsimpson: so then cat could just join them to be untarred normally? | 16:56 |
| tsimpson | yeah | 16:57 |
| tsimpson | or you could use "cat my_archive.tar.gz.* | tar xzf -" to untar in one go | 16:57 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: tar -M works as well :) | 16:57 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, that isn't too bad, I would still like to figure out how to do this straight through with tar though, 7zip does it | 16:57 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: tar czf | split - blah | 16:58 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: I haven't be successfull in getting that to work, can I use it with bz2? | 16:58 |
| Daskreech | replace z with j | 16:59 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: I mean straight with tar -cvjf -M -L 20720 mytar.tar.bz2 folder | 16:59 |
| shane4ubuntu | doesn't seem to like that. | 16:59 |
| Daskreech | You don't need the v | 16:59 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: I like the v. :) | 17:00 |
| uberkrishta | hello everyone | 17:00 |
| uberkrishta | any up ? | 17:00 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: Fine :) | 17:00 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: ok without the v I get this error: tar: Cannot use multi-volume compressed archives | 17:01 |
| shane4ubuntu | also with the v | 17:01 |
| shane4ubuntu | tar -cjf -M -L 20720 2002.tar.bz2 2002 <<< there is the command I'm using | 17:01 |
| rtdos | daskreech, since neither the package manager or downloading directly from the website installed the necessary libraries, would that be a bug or what ? | 17:03 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: What's the M for? | 17:03 |
| === pixie__ is now known as dcyber | ||
| shane4ubuntu | M is multidisk? I'm not sure saw it in an example | 17:04 |
| Daskreech | rtdos: for the package perhaps do you have it installing recommended ? | 17:04 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: ahh, no -M that seems to be working, at least I think I took out the v so I don't know what it is doing. :) | 17:04 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: :-D | 17:05 |
| Daskreech | I think M is the reverse of -L it puts it back together | 17:05 |
| Daskreech | at least it does in my head | 17:06 |
| rtdos | daskreech, how ? first i used sudo apt-get then i used kpackage kit and then i tried the website. neither of the ways one would normally use installed gstreamer (which i didn't catch until i installed mini-tube) | 17:06 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: thanks the -M was the problem, I think -M is for multivolume so that you can specify where to write it to, like CD or something | 17:06 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: you may be right though. | 17:06 |
| shane4ubuntu | odd, is it keeping all that in ram till it is done? | 17:09 |
| shane4ubuntu | it is working away, but I don't see any files | 17:09 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: no tar works as a stream | 17:09 |
| Daskreech | it puts it into the words directly after the -f | 17:10 |
| shane4ubuntu | which should output 20mb files as it goes along right? | 17:10 |
| === sx is now known as sx__ | ||
| Daskreech | what's the command that you used? | 17:11 |
| shane4ubuntu | I need a good using tar guide, it is one of those complex programs with more options than a swiss army jack knife | 17:11 |
| shane4ubuntu | tar -cvjf -L 20720 2002.tar.bz2 2002 | 17:12 |
| Daskreech | technically a jack knife is pretty simple even if carried by someone in the swiss army | 17:12 |

| === sx__ is now known as Kungen_Saki | ||
| shane4ubuntu | foobar? | 17:12 |

| shane4ubuntu | right, so I probably have a -L20720 file somewhere on my system? | 17:14 |
| shane4ubuntu | ohh, there it is. :) | 17:14 |
| Daskreech | congrats | 17:14 |
| shane4ubuntu | ahh, I hate removing files with odd characters starting their name! rm -v (yes I like v) \-L20720 doesn't seem to work | 17:15 |
| Daskreech | now if only mv took a -L option it would be humourous watching you try to rename it :) | 17:15 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: Why don't you just split that file to the filename that you want? | 17:16 |
| shane4ubuntu | with the split command? | 17:16 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, what is the command line trick to remove a file named, -L20720 I know I can use gui, but like to learn | 17:17 |
| shane4ubuntu | oh, got it, rm taught me, rm ./-L20720 | 17:18 |
| fanfare | is there an lanmap(2) alternative already in repos? | 17:19 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: ok, -L doesn't work for me I have tried it everywhere | 17:20 |
| Daskreech | shane4ubuntu: Should have just split the file :) | 17:20 |
| Daskreech | or renamed it at least | 17:20 |
| shane4ubuntu | I would prefer it all rolled into one app so I don't need to use two, I'm archiving old pictures | 17:20 |
| Daskreech | well .... technically you are already using two since you ahve a j option | 17:21 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: well, it was full size, uncompressed, and I'm tinkering to learn | 17:21 |
| shane4ubuntu | so I can compress pictures, upload them to online storage small chunks for easy upload/download | 17:22 |
| shane4ubuntu | I wanted to do it with tar, but well, that has proven difficult, 7zip will do it I guess. | 17:23 |
| Daskreech | sure | 17:23 |
| shane4ubuntu | rar will too, but somehow I feel that tar is linux owned, and the others, aren't | 17:24 |
| Daskreech | ? | 17:29 |
| Daskreech | Tar is quite a bit older than linux | 17:30 |
| Daskreech | maybe by a decade | 17:30 |
| shane4ubuntu | oh, could be, I don't really know, other than tar is every linux distro under the sun, it is the Linux compressioin/decompression tool. not really owned by linux, just every linux distro has it. | 17:31 |
| Daskreech | Yeah ... except that it doesn't compress :) | 17:31 |
| Daskreech | it tars :) | 17:31 |
| shane4ubuntu | oh, right, true, I guess techincally it uses gzip and b?zip to compress | 17:32 |
| Daskreech | or compress if you are old school and senile | 17:32 |
| templar_visible | Hi there is somethings being downloaded from phallus1.diddyinc.com. I am sure I have never visited that website before. I have not given any updates too. | 17:32 |
| shane4ubuntu | lol | 17:33 |
| Daskreech | templar_visible: block it | 17:33 |
| templar_visible | Daskreech: how? | 17:34 |
| Daskreech | firewall. Iptables/ Plugging the computer out of the network :) | 17:34 |
| templar_visible | I have Gaurdog, but it can only block ports. I am not comfortable with Iptables | 17:35 |
| Snowhog | fanfare: Are you into building lanmap2? | 17:35 |
| fanfare | Snowhog: as i didnt find anything i now build lanmap2 | 17:36 |
| Daskreech | templar_visible: what is downloading it? | 17:36 |
| Snowhog | fanfare: See https://github.com/pizza/lanmap2 | 17:36 |
| Daskreech | can you jsut kill the process? | 17:36 |
| templar_visible | Daskreech: I used iftop to see the url from where its being downloaded. But how can I see what and where in my system is it being downloaded? | 17:37 |
| fanfare | Snowhog: yeah, i read README and folow those instructions... | 17:37 |
| Snowhog | fanfare: See also http://www.parseerror.com/lanmap/ which has the info on obtaining the source tree for lanmap2. | 17:41 |
| fanfare | Snowhog: hm, good hint, as i DLed lanmap2x.tar.gz not git cloned... that info should be in readme too :-) | 17:42 |
| fanfare | Snowhog: hm, lanmap2 works ok, just like lanmap(1) did... I should get into deb-building somewhen... | 17:49 |

| Melonium | hi | 21:13 |
| Melonium | I run into troubles... | 21:13 |
| Melonium | tried to install a package, got the info about broken dependencies, accepted a solution, and messed up the system | 21:14 |
| Melonium | http://pastebin.com/GGQJHp0T | 21:14 |
| Melonium | what's to do? | 21:14 |
| James147 | Melonium: try running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f" | 21:18 |
| Melonium | James147, more shit just happened *g* | 21:18 |
| Melonium | James147, sorry I need to show you a new follow up posting | 21:18 |
| Melonium | gimme a second | 21:18 |
| Melonium | James147, http://pastebin.com/YaZ1Zq2P | 21:20 |
| Melonium | I tried to install "kdelibs4c2a" since this was the package I've been asked for | 21:20 |
| Melonium | the missing dependency | 21:21 |
| Melonium | so I hoped solving the problem by installing it | 21:21 |
| Melonium | did I mess up my system now? | 21:21 |
| James147 | Melonium: remove kmtmoney2 , then run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f" | 21:22 |
| === helga is now known as helga__ | ||
| Melonium | ok, James147 ! | 21:23 |
| Melonium | thank you very much, James147 | 21:23 |
| James147 | Melonium: also, once you get apt-get working again, upgrade your system :) there are allot of updates you havent installed | 21:24 |
| BloodyRain2k | hi, I got a problem with my wlan. I guess it is a driver problem because since I installed upon Peace-'s recommendation madwifi and blacklisted the default atheros driver it works even less. Instead of finding networks and just not connecting does it now not even find networks anymore | 21:24 |
| Melonium | James147: apt-get install -f tells me there would be no broken package | 21:27 |
| Melonium | James147, aptitude install -f gives me like a whole page | 21:27 |

| Daskreech | rtdos: No | 21:30 |
| rtdos | is there a way to disable user switching then? | 21:30 |
| Daskreech | I seem to remember there was | 21:30 |
| rtdos | i never liked that function on windows and i don't like to have things enabled i don't like or won't use. :) | 21:31 |

| shane4ubuntu | does anyone know how to search inside sxw and odt files for text? I don't think grep can do that. | 21:53 |
| shane4ubuntu | sxw are old openoffice files, old, I know but they are from days gone by | 21:54 |
| * James147 has a feeling they are might be compressed files... | 21:56 | |
| shane4ubuntu | James147: if I use Google Desktop thing, I know it can index it, but I don't want to wait that long for indexing. | 21:56 |
| shane4ubuntu | James147: well, here is an apparent solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-811714.html | 21:58 |
| James147 | shane4ubuntu: yeah, they are compressed files, you can extract them and search content.xml (or find a program taht can search through compressed files | 21:58 |
| shane4ubuntu | James147: thanks! I didn't realize that, I will give this a try for the time being, I need to install an indexer. | 21:59 |
| valorie | sudo updatedb / locate? | 22:00 |
| valorie | simple, easy | 22:00 |
| James147 | valorie: that wont search file contents... | 22:00 |
| valorie | ah | 22:00 |
| valorie | :( | 22:00 |
| shane4ubuntu | valorie: no, I need to look inside the file and find content | 22:00 |
| valorie | it's been awhile since I used it | 22:00 |
| shane4ubuntu | I do love locate though, when I know a doc title. | 22:01 |
| shane4ubuntu | James147: that script at the end of the file works! and works very well!! I'm adding that to my bin | 22:04 |
| James147 | shane4ubuntu: unzip -c document.odt | grep "pattern" seems to work :) | 22:06 |
| shane4ubuntu | James147: thanks! Much appreciated! Happy new year | 22:06 |
| shane4ubuntu | did you see that last script, it allows you search recursively through folders, I have folders organized by date and locations, and finding something in there is a nightmare, however finding where I taught somethine and when is very effective. | 22:07 |
| MrUnagi | where is xorg.conf | 22:20 |
| shane4ubuntu | MrUnagi: should be in /etc/X11/ however I heard that it wasn't being used any longer too. | 22:28 |
| Daskreech | MrUnagi: Not used anymore unless you make it | 22:28 |
| MrUnagi | yea thats werid | 22:28 |
| MrUnagi | im so behind in the times :d | 22:28 |
| shane4ubuntu | MrUnagi: join the club. | 22:28 |
| shane4ubuntu | Daskreech: must be that Nvidia and ATI both create it upon driver installation? | 22:28 |
| Daskreech | They do | 22:29 |
| shane4ubuntu | mine is real generic besides that. | 22:29 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, I'm off, probably till next year! Happy New Year all! | 22:29 |
| James147 | ^^ also "sudo Xorg -configure" will generate one but needs to be run when x iesnt | 22:36 |
| marion | so does anyone know what to do to fix a flash crash | 22:42 |
| marion | hello | 22:44 |
| James147 | hello marion | 22:45 |
| marion | Hey James147 when i try yo go fullscreen on youtube it tells me that flash plugin has crashed | 22:46 |
| James147 | marion: any error? | 22:46 |
| marion | no report available | 22:47 |
| James147 | marion: what exactly happens? | 22:47 |
| marion | i go to hit fullscreen and it just crashed | 22:48 |
| James147 | marion: crashes how? | 22:48 |
| marion | i,ll print screen it | 22:49 |
| marion | now were can i upload it to | 22:53 |
| James147 | !pastebin | 22:53 |

| marion | http://imagebin.org/130474 | 22:55 |
| James147 | marion: how did you install it? | 22:56 |
| marion | i cant remember its beein working for a while | 22:57 |
| marion | and it works fine watching it without expanding it | 22:58 |
| James147 | marion: well, you could try reinstalling it: "sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" | 22:59 |
| tsimpson | the package flashplugin-installer is just that, an installer | 23:03 |
| marion | trying now | 23:03 |
| tsimpson | it just downloads it from adobe.com | 23:03 |
| tsimpson | reinstalling will not reinstall the plugin, which would make no difference anyway, unless you somehow changed the plugins | 23:04 |
| tsimpson | -s | 23:04 |
| marion | ok tsimpson what do i do then | 23:04 |
| tsimpson | there's not a lot one can do, other than report the problem to adobe and hope they care | 23:05 |
| tsimpson | you can try with another browser, but that's unlikely to help | 23:05 |
| tsimpson | perhaps disabling desktop effects (compositing) may help too | 23:06 |
| tsimpson | or switch back from/to the proprietary video driver for your graphics | 23:07 |
| marion | i cant do anything with my graphics card ati stopped supporting it | 23:09 |
| marion | are there any themes for kubuntu | 23:12 |
| iogui | Hello, dudes | 23:13 |

| marion | James147 were and how | 23:17 |
| James147 | marion: look in system settings | 23:17 |
| iogui | I'm gona remove it and install the bz2 file... | 23:19 |
