[00:36] I was in here a few days ago, and had this question, but we were never able to arrive at a solution. Asking again to see if anyone has any ideas. I have a strange one here. I recently updated to Kubuntu 10.10, and then upgraded to KDE 4.5.4. My session can login fine, but another account on the computer cannot login (KDM boxes go grey). I've reset the password. /var/log/auth.log does *not* show an authentication failure (but does if [00:36] I intentionally put in the wrong password). Logging in as the user and issuing startx (without KDM running) works fine. Ideas? [00:50] Well, gotta run. [00:50] Because user switch doesn't work when using XDM. Please send any ideas to pedahzur@gmail.com Thanks! [00:51] hi all.... [00:51] having a problem mounting my iphone in kubuntu [00:52] can figure out which one of my '/dev'ices is my phone [00:53] barabbas: plug it in, and type "dmesg" just after [00:53] it'll be the latest entry [00:57] it seems to only be mounting the camera.. [00:58] '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/input/input17' ?? [00:58] !iphone [00:58] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [01:00] i've looked at these, and inconjuction with install libmobiledevive1, gtkpod, ifuse, etc, the next step is to add to the fstab? [01:01] that's where i'm stuck...that line starts off like this for me "/dev/????? /media/iphone vfat" ? [01:02] the phone doesn't seem to show any where in the filesystem like it is in gnome... [01:02] barabbas: not sure if they can be mounted like that ^^ or even need to be, but then again I dont have one so I dont know... does the device notifier see it? or amarok? [01:03] it does show up, and gives me camera (gwenview), and file system (dolphin) applications to open.. [01:04] hmm...not really attached to kde...i like some of the features, but doesn't seem to work quite as smoothly as gnome outthebox [01:05] barabbas: then click on the dolphin one... it should mounted it for you and open dolphin [01:07] it does but , only show me the camera portion of the filesystem..some say to use ifuse, but if i can't create a mount point for the device, that still leaves me stuck, as i unnerstand [01:07] ? [01:08] :( sorry i cant be more help, I tend to stay away from apple device to avoid problems like this :p [01:09] no worries...appreciate the help... [01:13] \ [01:17] Hi @all! I have really serious problems to get any linux running on a Medion Akoya P8610. It's really weird for me. Maybe it's an upstart-problem as I only tested k/ubuntu and opensuse. The system doesn't start after installation. It's complaining about a missing hdd by uuid. If I change it to /dev/sda1 in the Grub-Menu it will "boot" or something like that. After that all became really really weird. The system loads to some point and some [01:17] times it fails and sometimes I get to the login-prompt. I logged in and asked myself why X isn't starting. After lsmod I saw no modules were loaded at all.(just ahci ) . While I was typing around and just >looking< for the nvidia drive kdm popped up and I were able to login. THe only thing working was the keyboard. After that I startet all services via konsole but the system isn't running really good. I can't use a lot of applications. I really [01:17] have no idea what is happening here. As a plus I can't reproduce every error because things crash and work at random. If anybody want/could help me it would be great. (I googled a little bit more and found a bugreport for this notebook, which is marked as solved for 10.10 and with some workarounds but nothing of that is working for me!) .uname -a: "Linux klaus-P8610 2.6.35-24-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 03:21:31 UTC 2010 i686 [01:17] GNU/Linux" dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/549419/ [01:17] klaus_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:21] join #opensim [01:21] oh grr [01:22] Hi all. I have serious problems with kubuntu and I think upstart. After "booting" only the ahci module is loaded(lsmod) and I can't do much. And as a plus grub wasn't configured functional with the live-cd installer. some part of the problem is coverd with this "solved"(not for me) bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/430747 . I am running 10.10 and it's updated [01:22] Ubuntu bug 430747 in linux (Ubuntu) "kernel panic on boot medion akoya p8610" [Undecided,Fix committed] [01:24] I have loaded all Modules by hand after I was finally able to get a login-prompt, but that doesn't helped much. My dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/549419/ [01:45] hi [01:46] Hello evalyn [01:46] hi james [01:46] i just installed 10.04 today [01:46] wow lot to learn [01:47] how do i save this so i can come back again??? [01:48] evalyn: save what? irc? ... not really something you need to save :) [01:48] i never used irc before [01:48] just a chat program then huh [01:49] evalyn: I guess your using quassel (default client in kubuntu), it should be set up to auto connect to this channel when it starts [01:49] ok thanks [01:49] using konversation #kubuntu [01:49] ok [01:49] thanks for response [01:55] i see i signed out and back into this === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [02:05] i have a 2 part question: is there a basic interpreter (commnad line, like GWBASIC) for linux? how do i configure kate to compile java (javac) and C++ (gcc or bcc) source? [02:09] rtdos: one of the plugins in kate lets you run make, enable it and write a simple Makefile to tell it what to do :) [02:16] what happened to the kopete systray icon as of 10.10?? [02:17] and why do the desktop effects keep shutting off for no reason? [02:17] ugh :/ [02:18] NJL: Settings > Configure... > Behavious > "Show system tray icon" [02:19] thanks [02:19] NJL: and you could try disabling the functionalty check in desktop effects [02:20] is that a bad idea? [02:20] it's always just worked before [02:20] now it just keeps getting suspended [02:21] NJL: not sure why its doing that for you, its working fine here :S [02:22] weird [02:22] I updated to the latest nvidia driver and everything to make sure there wasn't something going on there [02:22] NJL: you could try creating a new user and see if they ahve the same problem... it could be a bad config file [02:23] yeah maybe so [02:23] thanks for your help [02:23] I need food so I'm gonna run [02:23] have a good night [02:23] I appreciate it === jackson is now known as Guest19278 [02:32] james, i think i have kate figured out (emphasize maybe) but is there a basic intepreter available for linux/*ubuntu? [02:33] rtdos: sorry, dont know about a BASIC intepertor, never used one before :D [02:35] ha! [02:35] http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Interpreters/JBasic-32852.shtml [02:35] a quick google shows me.... [02:36] and see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Programming [02:36] bwbasic - Bywater BASIC Interpreter << aptitude search :D [02:36] rtdos: See http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/basic.shtml Vintage BASIC might suit you. [02:37] http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword1&version=gutsy&release=all&keywords=basic&sourceid=mozilla-search [02:37] looks like there are lots of choices, actually [02:41] thanks, snowhog, i also found bacon for bash :) [03:00] are the standard xscreensavers compatible with kde / kubuntu ? [03:01] kscreensaver-xsavers - xscreensaver support for KDE << I would think so if you have that installed :) [03:03] i thought there were more xscreensavers, james? or am i wrong? [03:05] nevermind, i see. :"> [03:07] yofel: ?? === Freejack is now known as Guest32458 [03:11] anyone know about kubuntu-ppa/ppa ?? I added it and went to upgrade to kde 4.?.? which were supposed to be bug fixes, and ended up with a real mess on my hands. [03:30] sounds bad, shane4ubuntu [03:30] you might want to write to the forum or list, if you get no answers here [03:31] and be sure to look at kubuntuforums too, which is a separate site [03:31] !forum [03:31] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [03:31] valorie: it isn't that big of a deal, I moved back to gnome. :) for the time being [03:31] ok [03:31] thanks though [03:31] sounds rather serious though [03:31] yofel: was helping earlier, but he isn't around now [03:31] and I'm sure the devels will want to know details [03:32] it's the end of holidays, so lots of people are in transit, etc. [03:32] yep, bad problem, kdm can't be installed or removed not with apt-get or aptitude or synaptic, I even dpkg -i kdm package and it didn't work, I probably could have forced it so I could remove it, but well, probably monday [03:33] thanks though. [03:35] icky [03:35] I hope it gets sorted for you === jmgartner is now known as rackIT [03:55] james, i'm having problems using gcc (or bcc) to compile the following program - http://codepad.org/ZIT9DbnI - i get the following error / warning messages - http://pastebin.com/KTmWQAWf [03:58] rtdos: did you get the necessary "-dev" libraries for C++? [03:59] probably not. how do i get those? [04:01] rtdos: wait, now i don't remember the exact name :S it is something with lib and -dev [04:01] lol. ok. i'll see if i can goole 'em :) [04:02] libc-dev... probally... install "build-essential" eitherway :) [04:03] rtdos: weirdly gcc fails with fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory for me, but g++ works === joel is now known as Guest86101 [04:04] gcc is the C compiler and g++ is the C++ compiler, if i'm not getting mixed up [04:04] yup [04:04] and i think "build-essential" is right, libc-dev are the C libraries [04:05] i've been more into python lately, so memory fails for C++ stuff [04:05] ahaoa, g++ thanks :) [04:06] my next question. [04:06] i created a directory 'projects' and g++ is returning a fatal error saying that it doesn't have write permissions what does that mean? [04:07] is /projects in /home? [04:08] yes, actually this is the error i'm getting - /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file a.out: Permission denied [04:09] rtdos: what premissions does the folder you are running g++ in have? [04:09] (and who is it owned by)? [04:09] i don't know what's ld :S but try doing "cd ~/projects" and then "./a.out" in terminal [04:10] (and check the permissions as james suggested) [04:10] * James147 thingks ld is the linker [04:10] GabrielYYZ: ^^ and it sounds like its failing to write a.out... so it shouldnt exist [04:11] (or exists and isent writtable) [04:11] ah yeah... lol [04:11] ^^ did you run gcc or g++ as root at any point? if you did does a.out belong to root? [04:12] (as a note to that^^ NEVER run them as root ;) ) [04:13] no never ran it as root, tonight is the first time i've run it. how do i determine a folders permissions through the command line? [04:13] i created the folder so shouldn't i own it? [04:13] rtdos: ls -l will list all files with their premissions [04:13] ^^ thats a lie, it wont list hidden files :) but we dont care about them at this point [04:13] sorry i was in msdos mode :"> [04:14] and yes, folders you create should be owned by you... but with a premission error its best to check :) [04:14] drwxr-xr-x 2 jeff jeff 4096 2011-01-01 21:10 projects [04:15] rtdos: and what premissions do the contents have? [04:15] (^^ that looked fine btw) [04:15] -rw-r--r-- 1 jeff jeff 123 2011-01-01 21:09 helloworld.cpp [04:15] that's the file in question. [04:16] that's good too [04:16] rtdos: does a.out exist? if so what are its premissions? [04:18] where would i find that file? [04:18] rtdos: is it not in the current directoy? [04:18] found it - -rwxr-xr-x 1 jeff jeff 8902 2011-01-01 21:15 a.out [04:19] where was it located? [04:19] in the same directory as helloworld.cpp [04:19] is are the permissions of the ld file - lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2010-12-18 08:50 ld -> ld.bfd [04:19] try doing "./a.out" from inside that directory [04:19] huh... [04:20] "./a.out" printed Hello World! [04:21] there ya go, it compiled fine [04:21] rtdos: then it compiled :) [04:21] not all debug messages are important messages xD [04:21] i can ignore the warning ? [04:21] where did you run g++ from when you got that error? the projects file? [04:21] my guess is yeah [04:21] yes, i used quick compile from build menu item. [04:22] ^^ and that error isent really ignorable... since its a major failure in creating the exec [04:22] rtdos: try compiling again, does it do it agian? [04:23] i get no messages (good, bad, or otherwise) when i run g++ in a terminal window [04:23] good :) [04:24] what i want to know is why ld was there (if that is, in fact, the linker) [04:24] standard C++ libraries should be in PATH [04:25] but, then again, there's a lot of C++ i don't really get [04:25] how would i find out if my standard c++ libraries path is correct?\ [04:26] this is what path returns when i type the set command - (/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games) [04:27] the fact that g++ compiled your .cpp file the 2nd time without errors is proof of that, as iostream is a standard C++ library [04:27] or so i think :S [04:27] * James147 thourght it was a std c lib :S [04:28] or that :S [04:28] ... might be a c++ one... I dont know anymore :p [04:28] what's the command to view g++ output after it's compiled? [04:28] rather than just doing "./a.out" all the time? [04:29] it is actually ./a.out [04:29] every time you compile a .cpp file the resulting output is a.out and to run it, you use ./a.out [04:30] James147: it's both :P checked wikipedia [04:31] rtdos: you dont really want to view g++ output unelss theres and error... the file a.out is the compiled executable that you then run [04:31] ah no, it's C++, stdio is C [04:31] GabrielYYZ: yeah, thats what I am getting here :) stdio is c :) [04:31] (btw, http://codepad.org/0yAMHtnH << a pure c version of the code) [04:33] rtdos: also, you can use the -o flag on gcc or g++ to spicify the name of the executable: $ g++ -o hello helloworld.cpp [04:33] rtdos: ^^ that should create a executable called hello rather then a.out (gcc's default name) [04:35] rtdos: btw, have you ever programed in c or c++ before? [04:35] what are some good (gui) options for burning iso images of dvds? [04:35] rosco_y: k3b [04:35] k3b = good stuff [04:35] yes. under windoze. ;-) [04:35] used dev-cpp from bloodshed [04:35] James147: thank you--that's exactly what I was trying to remember :) [04:36] ah, -o OK :) [04:36] i was reading an ncurses tutorial yesterday... i kinda like the terminal ui xD [04:37] rtdos: you might want to read up on how to create and use Makefile's, they are very very useful when programming :) (or for larger progects tools to creat makefiles, such as cmake) [04:37] cmake? ok. will look that one up. :) [04:38] rtdos: here a good basic tutorial for makefile:http://mrbook.org/tutorials/make/ [04:38] reading it now. [04:44] james, ran the same helloworld under codelite (an ide) and it compiled and ran with no errors or warnings. now i wonder if its a setting in kate ? [04:45] rtdos: what errors/warnings did you get with kate? [04:45] i mean, i don't mind using g++ manually (or even code lite) but am dumbfounded why i can't get it to run under kate. [04:45] * James147 assumed it was working :S [04:45] under kate's terminal plugin? [04:48] noaXess, kate's build plug in [04:50] rtdos: what error are you getting agian? [04:52] james, /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file a.out: Permission denied - sorry missed that one. :) [04:52] rtdos: whats in the "quick compile" line of the build output settings in kate [04:52] say .. [04:53] g++ %f [04:55] rtdos: try putting the path of the project in working path [04:57] g++ \home\jeff\projects\%f ? [04:57] rtdos: (or replace it with ls -l to see where its trying to compile :D ) [04:57] no [04:57] / my first program in C++ [04:57] rtdos: ^^ try putting "ls -l" in the quick comile field (i just want to know where its pointing :) ) [04:57] /bin/ls: cannot access -: No such file or directory [04:57] /bin/ls: cannot access l: No such file or directory [04:57] /bin/ls: cannot access %: No such file or directory [04:58] /bin/ls: cannot access -: No such file or directory [04:58] /bin/ls: cannot access l: No such file or directory [04:58] :S [04:59] rtdos: what with just "ls -l" (no quotes) in the quick compile field? [05:01] rtdos: in kate > configure kate > plugins, check to see if you have build, external tools and open header ticked [05:01] and for the working path, point it to the directory where helloworld.cpp is [05:01] leave the quickcompile as is [05:02] * James147 just wanted to know what directory it was trying to compile in ;) [05:06] hmm, changing Working dir to /home/james/Temp and having "pwd" in my quick compile line outputs "/home/james" ... :S [05:07] but when in the "build command" it points to /home/james/Temp :S [05:08] rtdos: ^^ I highly suggest you igrnore the quick compile line, not sure where its trying to compile to :S [05:08] the quick compile line is the command to compile (ie. g++ -0 hello) [05:09] GabrielYYZ: yeah, but it is not obaying the working directory... [05:10] i think it's because it's not bash, just the compiler with arguments [05:10] i could be wrong though [05:10] and I dont think its the main one to use... really you should be using the "Build command" field, prefebally as is (with make, then make a Makefile) [05:11] for hello world examples and the like, a quick compile's fine imo [05:11] a bash problem ? [05:11] hold on, right now i'm using csh let me switch default shells. [05:11] GabrielYYZ: are you sure, I can put any command in there any it executes sucesfully (ie "pwd"... and it outputs my home directory in the output field, not the working directory)) [05:12] GabrielYYZ: hoever, "pwd" in the "buld command" field outputs the working directory :S [05:13] I just installed kde can somebody please tell me how to remove gnome? [05:13] !purekde [05:13] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [05:13] thanks [05:16] GabrielYYZ, James147 - no errors that time when i made bash my default shell (was previously set to csh) [05:16] rtdos: heh, musent like csh then :p [05:16] rtdos: and reason you where using csh? [05:17] learning some c shell scripting. :) [05:18] rtdos: :) why not bash shell scripting? .. its a way more common shell [05:18] true. but i want to learn as much as i can and not just the common stuff. :) [05:19] rtdos: bah, most of the shell languages you can pickup quickly when you need to :) [05:20] agreed. :) [05:20] ^^ and if you want something to learn, then check out the vim editor :D [05:21] gvim or vim ? love gvim. :) [05:21] nah, raw vim is better :D [05:22] better than original vi that's for sure ;-) [05:22] (and since you already know vim, you might want to know kate have very basic vim style input if you enable it in the settings) [05:22] rtdos: hell yeah :D [05:22] good idea. [05:26] dumb question, james but what is the difference between kate and kwrite? aren't they the same thing? [05:28] rtdos: no and yes.. kate has more features, kwrite is a basic text editor (little more then the kpart it contains) where as kate uses the same kpart (as does kile and kdevelop btw :) ) but adds lots more functions on top [05:28] ah, ok, like notepad and notepad2 in windoze :) [05:29] rtdos: probally not... I bet they are completly seperate applicaitons :) where as kwrite and kate both use the same kpart [05:29] * James147 isent sure, but kwrite might be the kpart... but doupts it... [05:31] yes separate applications but same purpose. :) [05:31] but i see how kwrite and kate use the same 'engine' so to speak. makes sense imho [05:31] rtdos: ... they arent entirly seperate, as they both share the same editor [05:32] i mean notepad and notepad2 [05:32] and the "engine" is called a kpart :) part of kdes great plugin system,... you can write any program with the same editor that kate and kwrite use :) (such as kdevelop and kile) [05:34] that's what i'm wanting to learn. are xfce, gnome, and other gui's the same way? [05:35] (note also that konsole is also mostly a kpart (like kwrite is)... hence why kate has it inbuilt... :) [05:36] i like how everthing is inter-connected in linux [05:36] rtdos: they all vary... since they have all been built differently... gnome is built on raw c (which i presonally think is horiffic for a gui framework), but I dont really do any development in gnome so I cant really say what technologys they use [05:37] what is kde built on? [05:37] In previous versions of KDE, I was able to set a differen wallpaper for each virtual desk top ... Can I still do that? [05:37] rtdos: kde is build from the qt framework (which is writted in c++) [05:37] rjwiii: yes [05:38] rjwiii: (at least kde 4.5 and 4.6 let you :) ) [05:38] I think I figgured it out ... hang on ... [05:39] rjwiii: you might need to enable system settings > window behavoiur > virtual desktops > different widgets for each desktop [05:39] gnome uses gtk2+ [05:39] Nope .. changed 'em all ... where do I apply wallpapers for virtual desk tops? [05:40] aha ... [05:40] so who uses qt? [05:40] ^^ yeah, gnome is uses the gtk2+ framework, which is written in c [05:40] rtdos: kde for one :) but allot of other things so, its a fairly popular framework [05:40] kde uses qt [05:41] rtdos: if i remember right, skype is a qt app [05:41] yeah, qt is quite nice [05:41] s/quite/very [05:41] lol qt is qt nice xD [05:42] http://qt.nokia.com/qt-in-use << more things that use qt :D [05:42] ah, nokia also uses linux (or a form of linux) don't they? [05:43] are there any other frameworks besides qt and gtk2+ that you know of? [05:44] rtdos: many... :) java has swing (which I think is dreadfully designed) [05:44] yea,i hate swing. it's one of the things i'm supposed to be learning in my java class :-) [05:45] * James147 notes that there is a kde/qt bindings for java :) [05:45] there's ncurses too [05:45] GabrielYYZ: :D [05:45] unfortunately i won't be learning those java kde/qt bindings in this class :-\ [05:45] hola a todos [05:45] i like ncurses xD it's so light and it looks decent [05:45] hola [05:46] * James147 thinks we should move to #kubuntu-offtopic ... :) [05:46] yea coming from ansi to ncurses wasn't as hard as i thought. :) [05:46] lol. i'm about ready for bed. i actually stayed up later tonight than i did last night. ha! :) [05:46] tengo un problema.. y quisiera pedir ayuda [05:46] por aca [05:46] me conecto por primera vez [05:47] pido disculpas por entrar con dudas esta primera vez [05:47] pero tengo ya algun tiempo con kubuntu y me salio un error en konsola que antes no habia mirado anrtes [05:47] g'night all [05:47] night rtdos [05:47] thanks again for the help. [05:48] i know i'll have more questions :-P [05:48] esta es mi duda [05:48] cuando intento editar algo desde konsola me sale esto [05:48] kate: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [05:48] !es [05:48] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [05:48] dank mandame un mensaje privado, que aqui no hablan espanol [05:48] y ya he comprobado que este instalado el Kate [05:48] tambien he googleado pero nada [05:49] James147: got it ... [05:50] :) [05:50] When ever I change desktop stuff for virtual desktops, KDE seems to crash ... or at least I get a black screen ... [05:51] happens to me too, i just log out and back in [05:51] GabrielYYZ: KDE bug? [05:52] rjwiii: plasma-desktop? if so alt+f2: "plasma-desktop" should bring it back [05:52] and what kde version? [05:54] James147: what ever comes with 10.10 ... yes, plasma desktop ... what is Plasma Desktop? [05:54] rjwiii: plasma-desktop is you desktop ;) ... it handels the background, widgets the panel.... [05:55] is there another option? [05:55] (likes the fact that with krunner plasma-desktop is optional :D and kde is still very functional without is) [05:55] rjwiii: option for what? [05:56] besides plasma desktop ... is it optimized for plasma monitors or something? [05:56] if so, I don't need it ... I have an LCD ... [05:56] nah, it's just the name [05:57] rjwiii: plasma is the name of the application, there are now three varients, plasma-desktop (designed for desktop) plasma-netbook (designed for smaller screens) and the new one - plasma-mobile (for mobile phones :D ) [05:58] aha ... [06:00] rjwiii: as for the crashing... i suggest you try creating a new user and playing with them... see if it crashes on them like on your main account [06:01] rjwiii: if it works as you think it should then you can try resetting plamsa's settings by renaming or deleting ~/.kde/share/config/plasm* (backup any notes you have on the desktop first) [06:02] James147: well, once I logout and log back in, it's fine ... [06:02] quite often kde application crashes/misbehaiour is the result of a bad config file [06:02] :) rjwiii if it keeps crashing then i suggest trying a new user [06:03] so far so good for now ... === dank_ is now known as dank_10 [07:25] getting errors from kdemicroblog widget about invalid cert from identica, and similar compalaints from kopete for gmail.

[07:30] don't know really, i don't use kopete or KDEuBlog [07:31] i mentioned that fix 'cause someone used that earlier after asking in #kde [07:31] if you do use them, ask directly in #kde to see if anyone knows a better solution === sean is now known as Guest44041 === jff_ is now known as jff [09:39] whats going on/ [09:40] anyone on here?

[11:17] which flash plugin do you have installed? [11:17] the free, or non-free? [11:18] the one in the repositories guess is 10 something [11:18] let me check [11:21] is adobe flashplugin 10.1 [11:21] that's the one i have installed [11:21] interesting [11:22] so what do i do ? should i uninstall it along with kubuntu-restricted-extras or what? [11:22] same one I have [11:22] kubuntu-restricted-extras is your codecs and such [11:24] well i did installe it beause of java cause when i was looking at the wiki it says that in order for me to see webpages i need to have java and flashplayer installed so i found that java comes with kubuntu-restricted-extras and flash has to be also installed so i did [11:25] let me uninstall it and see if that works [11:25] let you know in awhile [11:26] I guess I would try the same video in another browser [11:26] and see if it's a FF problem, or what [11:26] sorry, had to help my old doggie [11:45] is someone here that knows what program is the best to convert avi files for psp [11:46] hi gents [11:46] Hi [11:46] I have a fresh 10.10 kubuntu [11:46] how do I disable that stupid "auto dhcp" connection in the network-manager ? [11:47] I need fix IP because of soma port forwarding, but it always gets IP from the dhcp :( [11:47] me too, and I have to say it is more user friendly than the old one, or maybe I am more linuks fiendly now than than? ;p [11:47] *some [11:48] Nataniel: this is for me ? :) [11:49] Hello everybody [11:49] hi [11:49] zmitya just saying about ne 10.10 ;p [11:49] Hoping to get some help to resolve 3g mobile modem [11:49] Nataniel: oh, ok ;) [11:50] samsung corby pro when connected, initially it shows as USB image interface, and after sometime the modem used to show in the Kneworkmanager [11:50] but now its getting very intermittant.... [11:52] out of 242 users no one experienced this kind of problem?? [11:52] can anyone tell me the irc for ubuntu, i will try over there [11:52] kuttans: try #ubuntu [11:53] interesting thing is that it's the first time when fresh Linux didn't tould me that there are some additional graphic drivers that I can download, and I can't find in this new 10.10 any place to check this out [11:54] Nataniel: are you using nvidia ? [11:54] Nataniel: yeah, saw this too when I installed maverick, search for hardware drivers, or press alt+f2 and run jockey-kde [11:54] zmitya ATI Radeon [11:55] oh, *which* ati card? [11:55] 'lspci | grep VGA' in konsole will tell [11:55] yofel thx, dunno why did they hid it like that O.o [11:56] Radeon HD 4870 [11:57] althought I have to say it's working really well even without any driver, but it could say that there are some avalible like in previious versions anyway... [11:57] Nataniel: for nvidia, KMenu / Apps / System / Additional drivers installs the proprietary driver for nvidia cards. I'm not sure if this is the case for ati cards [11:57] zmitya: it's the same, just hard to find... [11:58] it used to pop up by itself, dunno why it doesn't anymore [11:58] yeah, that was better for newbie, I know what I say in that matter ;-) [11:58] anyone using mobile phone as a 3g usb modem >> [11:59] kuttans: me, connected over usb and using wvdial, proved more stable than the NM plasmoid for me [12:03] g2r, thx for all help :) [12:03] yofel but even that also not working at times [12:04] the wvdialconf is telling that ttyACM1 is having a modem but failing to query it [12:04] saying that the device may be busy [12:05] hm, I only use it when I'm not at home but it usually works (I looked up the device name in dmesg though) - try #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners [12:06] yeah im doing it but no one seems to had any problem like that [12:09] how to modprobe a 3g gsm modem [12:23] ok, that's weird [12:26] with this proprietary driver it offers me game looks to work a bit (not sure if at all) smoother, but without it KDE windows are moving a bit smoother. Anyway, I'm not sure if there's any difference at all, and if there is it's not big. Weird, maybe that's why proprietary drivers are now hidden in this new 10.10 [12:38] anybody knows if i can count on some else drivers than thous Kubuntu shows me? [13:05] i accidentally removed my sound device from my system settings, and now my sound doesnt work, how do i fix this? [13:52] i accidentally removed my sound device from my system settings, and now my sound doesnt work, how do i fix this? [13:56] anyone?

There is an option in task manager settings for that [17:14] Still not that, but it's lot better now, thx [17:15] http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/PeachyDock?content=78494 that'd be better, thought I'm not sure if I can handle installing it cause it's not final yet afaik [17:16] anyway, I see that many people like the idea and they're working on it https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179430 :D [17:16] KDE bug 179430 in widget-taskbar "Leave only icons in task manager" [Wishlist,Resolved: duplicate] [17:19] you may find more by looking for "mac os like" task bars [17:19] ok, I will, thx [17:21] when you do "add widgets" you get a "get new widgets" button, by clicking on it you can choose "download new plasma widgets", that makes it really easy to install new ones [17:25] in gnome ive manages to hide all kde programs in my aplications tabs etc, is there any way to hide the native gnome pragrams in KDE?

If it is plasma widget than why it don't find it? [17:38] Nataniel: not sure, maybe it's not at the right place, just install the package from kpackagekit [17:45] there was some install instruction inside, but i got problem anyway [17:46] anyone knows where is the config of firefox shortcut keys? [17:48] where can i find a list of all shells that are available through syanptic (or kpackage) package manager? [17:48] how to check if vdpau is working properly [17:49] arunce: afaik you can't configure keyboard shortcuts in firefox [17:49] yofel: hmm... can I remove them? [17:50] http://pastebin.com/D2KfKA86 anybody can help? included instalation instruction, error and when it shows up [17:50] arunce: at least it says so on http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/keyboard%20shortcuts - no, doesn't seem possible either [17:50] Nataniel: why are you building your own widget? [17:50] yofel: i'm getting double backs and double forwards. I suspect that is alt+left and XF86Back together [17:51] cause there was no build, just source and instruction [17:51] or alt+right and XF86Forward... [17:51] arunce: seems to work fine here (FF4) [17:51] how do i find out which shells are installed on my system? [17:52] Nataniel: install the plasma-widget-smooth-tasks package, and possible restart plasma (or just logout) [17:52] Nataniel: but if you really want to build it yourself it seems you don't have kdelibs5-dev installed [17:53] yofel: my mouse have back and forward.. and i assigned alt+left and alt+right to this buttons, it works great with other apps, but in firefox i'm getting it on doubles, i think. [17:55] xmodmap didn't help, or I'm getting it wrong.

[18:01] don't think so, the keyboard layout switcher needs to work without a restart after all [18:01] Nataniel: did u run 'apt-get update' before 'apt-get install plasma-widget-smooth-tasks' [18:02] yofel http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Smooth+Tasks?content=101586 under the post I can only see two types od source (?) and there are some links to packages in that post but they all looks expired [18:02] Nataniel: why are you even trying those? we have the widget in the ubuntu archive! [18:03] yofel, this is odd, it wont see my up and down arrow keys [18:03] that's odd indeed then... [18:04] restart your X. if u have a dock station, maybe u should configure both keyboards in xorg.conf [18:04] yofel I looked for it in "add widgets" > "get new widgets" > "download new plasma widgets" and it wasn't there [18:05] Nataniel: go to system settings -> software management and look there [18:05] its not a laptop its a desktop with wifi keyboard that works fine in standard ubuntu === Squidy is now known as Squidy-Away === Squidy-Away is now known as Squidy [18:06] the download button is from KDE itself and the author doesn't seem to provide any binaries for the widget.

[19:01] hi, i just installed kubuntu 10.10, everything seems to work fine except my mouse that freezes once in a while and needs to be restarted. Is it possible to change device drivers for the mouse? [19:03] rtdos: try installing 'mysql-server' [19:04] thanks, yofel. my webhost uses mysql and i would like to run some test scripts locally before i upload them, is there a gui you recommend for mysql? [19:05] don't know one I fear, I only used mysql to test things once too, kept to the command line though [19:07] probably a good idea. i see there are quite a few in kpackagekit, though. i might have to see if one can connect both locally to the mysql installed on my machine as well as my webhost. === pva is now known as pva_ === squidyj is now known as Squidy_J === arunce_ is now known as arunce === Daskreech is now known as sheyton [19:43] even with additional drivers the only refreshing option I can see in options is 60Hz O.o === yofel is now known as sheytyl === sheytyl is now known as yofel [19:46] Nataniel: all LCD displays work at 60Hz afaik (if it's a CRT that's weird) [19:49] yofel srsly? D: lol we're haeding backward in evolution, even technology -.- [19:50] well, afiak the concept of screen refresh rates doesn't make much sense for LCD technology, but I could be completely wrong ^^ [19:54] maybe, I'd better get f.lux finally working for my eyes ^^ [19:55] Nataniel: an LCD updated each pixel as needed it doesn't need to do a phospor wash to get an update. Other than some edge cases where a full screen refresh matters a frequency of updating is a foriegn concept for a LCD world === sheyton is now known as Daskreech [19:56] hey Daskreech [19:56] Hi Roey [19:56] how areyou?
