Afraid I cannot really help with the second problem though :( [00:36] hm, I don't have that file [00:38] :S its likly to be one of the files in the config directory, thats where allmost all of kdes configs get stored === Sentynel_ is now known as Sentynel [00:45] Snowhog Thank you!

[01:42] At scans the disk on every start again. [01:42] So after a login I can't use the computer for about 20 minutes, because the hard disk just rattles. [01:43] andrej: sure that's not strigi? [01:43] andrej: its not akonadi scannning the disk I think it may be Strigi - [01:44] Akonadi is a store it doesn't do any searching [01:44] well... at least while i see several processes starting with akonadi in krunner the computer is unusable [01:45] And I can reproduce it, if I meanually start akonadi [01:45] So it is at least related. [01:45] Well Strigi and akonadi are tangentally related. [01:46] Though I suppose if you have a large enough database it can thrash the drive [01:46] what happens if you stop strigi and then start akonadi? [01:47] Hm.... I don't see a process "strigi" in krunner. [01:48] andrej: Turn it off in System settings > desktop search [01:49] Ok, found the options. [01:50] Nepomuk is on, strigi is off. [01:51] and i deactivated the personal folder to be scanned for strigi [01:51] k [01:52] I'll try to start akonadi server [01:52] * James147 notes that strigi uses virtuoso-t as its backend for scanning... if he remembers correctly [01:52] ohhh, strigi or nepomuk which is recommended? [01:53] sh [01:53] better yet, can either look inside openoffice docs? [01:53] shane4ubuntu: what do you mean by or? strigi uses nepomuk [01:53] shane4ubuntu: strigi is for serarching nepomuk is for taggis and comments, etc [01:53] lol, ooops, I'm ignorant, I thought they were different [01:54] I thought nepomuk was the new thing, I recognize strigi as being around for a while [01:54] does it search inside openoffice docs? [01:54] shane4ubuntu: note sure... [01:54] Ok, now akonadi doesn't start. [01:55] ok, thanks [01:55] BUT it doesn't crawl my hard disk. [01:55] So it seems to be better. [01:55] andrej: but does it index everything? [01:55] Now not. I deactivated my whole personal folder for monitoring. [01:55] shane4ubuntu: from the quick test I jsut did I would say it does :) [01:56] James147: great! Thanks [01:56] (search in odt docs taht is) [01:56] how do I turn it on? [01:56] previously it indexed it on every start. [01:56] So I'm off getting some sleep! [01:56] Thx for your help [01:57] ha ha, system settings, I"m getting to like this system settings thing, one stop shop [01:57] yup :) [01:58] James147: shame on you for not mentioning that the other day when I was looking for a way to search through odt files. ;) [01:58] * James147 notes that krunner can search for modules inside system ssettings (ie searching for "Desktop Search" will find that module ) [01:58] got it up and running, so all is good now. Thanks! [01:58] shane4ubuntu: dident know it could do that :) [01:58] James147: lol, no prob [01:59] ok, gotta run, night all, strigi or umm, nepomuk is indexing my drive. [02:00] ^^ strigi :) [02:01] how to enable socks proxy for whole KDE applications just like http proxy (I'm using KDE 4.5.1) [02:01] I looked for it in "system setting" but I didn't find anything about socks [02:02] I looked out this issue all the day but I didn't find any solution for it [02:02] even I found many people asked about socks in KDE but no one answered them! [02:02] it looks like a real issue [02:07] shane4ubuntu: strigi and nepomuk aren't alternatives [02:09] KDE really needs to stop having those names user facing [02:10] hello..

[02:35] You should be fine but it is annoying [02:36] i have no idea what that is and where it's from [02:36] veinos: iirc identica had a problem with their security certificate [02:37] yah, something about certificate [02:38] i don't understand what is requesting that certificate and for what? [02:38] identica (and twiiter for that matter) use em for safer authentication [02:39] yah, maybe, but i don't use either of those [02:39] seems fixed now [02:41] mkay [02:41] dunno, I don't use the kde microblogging plasmoid, its what would try to log in to identica [02:41] if I use it, i don't know i do hehe [02:41] it's not even on my desktop... [02:42] veinos: Choqok? [02:42] what's that? [02:43] there is also an akonadi resource for microblogging [02:43] but really if you don't use that widget, it shouldn't be trying to log in [02:43] claydoh: Wouldn't you have to put in an account for that or will it try to authenticate against nothing? [02:44] I don't use linux that often, so i don't really know what's going on... [02:44] Daskreech: Doesn't the default desktop have the microblogging widget which logs in as 'kubuntu'? [02:44] oh [02:44] I just thought it was weird something tried to get some certificate adn didn't know why and what [02:44] hmm good point [02:45] but stil, if the widget is removed, it shouldn't be trying to log in iirc [02:45] yah, i know i had that widget on my laptop install... on my dsktop though, i don't have it... maybe it's just hidden!? === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [02:45] veinos: perhaps on a different virtual desktop?

I like to install kde from source [05:45] ox3a: so what is stopping you? :) [05:46] oh sorry [05:47] Actually i am using ubuntu..... but kde channel told me to ask here [05:47] Thinking what if here people give me this #ubuntu to ask [05:49] ox3a: what I meant was, did you bump into any problems while installing from source? [05:49] yeah [05:50] do you have the wiki page about building from source? [05:50] so just shoot the question [05:50] yeah "cmake" [05:52] First question: I want to install only kde base desktop and removing gnome(No need koffice or kmail etc). So which package i need? [05:55] ? [05:58] geekosopher, [05:59] hey guys, im having a problem with a fresh install of kubuntu on a Lenovo g530, every time i turn on my computer, kubuntu always starts with the desktop effects "temperaly disabled" , can anyone help ? [06:01] ox3a: kdebase-* packages I guess, not sure [06:02] Sounds like you may have a bad install disk [06:03] I think so but not sure yet [06:04] samuel: in System Settings -> Desktop Effects -> Advanced Tab, check 'Disable functionality checks' [06:05] wsr3193: don't know if it is a case of bad install disk, because few more people had the same problem, including me :) [06:05] I have downloaded several source: kdeaccessability,kdeadmin,kdeartwork,kdebase,kdebase-runtime,kdebase-workspace,kdebinding,kdeskdk,oxygen-icon and more [06:05] Thanks geek , i will restart and let you know if it still happens [06:06] samuel: sure [06:06] ox3a: any reason you want to install from source? [06:11] geekosopher, Because My internet is too slow and impossible to install from ubuntu repos for everytime install and it take hug space with ubuntu. [06:12] and many cause [06:13] geekosopher: Thanks man, it worked :), only having one more problem ..that i can see.. its not showing the window previews when i mouse over an application in the task bar. it just shows and outline of where it should be, and the info [06:13] geekosopher, also as a study i need to install it from source and making a iso [06:16] ox3a: if it is for educational purpose, sure go ahead, but don't be sure of success the first time. Research enough before doing it, unless it is a spare system you are working on [06:18] samuel: did you check 'Show tooltips' in Task manager Settings? [06:22] where abouts is that? [06:23] samuel: right click on the taskbar [06:25] yes, show tool tips is checked, so thats not the problem :( [06:25] hmm === vic is now known as Guest99567 === Guest99567 is now known as GeneralVicRikov [06:26] geekosopher, yeah thanks [06:27] if i switch to xrender compositing, it works .. but then all my other effects that i like , dont work [06:28] wierd [06:31] geekosopher, Actually i did many google search .....

[06:42] ox3a: as valorie suggested, search the wiki at kde and ubuntu [06:44] ox3a: one thing that might help you to know, is that the KDE site has a tech section, userbase, and community [06:44] you'll probably want the techbase part [06:44] http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 for instance [07:17] Anyone know that program that bundles up a program from one computer so that you can run it on another computer? It's supposed to pack up all the libs it needs and such ... ?? [07:19] rjwiii: aptoncd comes to my mind [07:19] http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [07:21] rjwiii: then there is remastersys [07:21] http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [07:24] Those are nice, but I'm not looking for a backup tool in this case ... I saw this video that demonstrated this program (cli, IFIRC) that bundled up a program so that you could then transport it to another computer, upack the file, cd to a directory in the arcive and just run the program again ...

[10:44] and yes, we have an unfriendly floodbot [10:44] Well I had a question about a DPI issue earlier but figured it out [10:44] cool [10:44] Now I am here to pretty much get used to the new chat format [10:44] often people just "idle" here [10:44] I am rather new to Ubuntu as in only six months into it [10:44] Love it so far [10:44] to check out stuff they are interested in, or to learn more [10:45] I want to learn about new tricks and fixes and so on [10:45] kwin crashes everytime I play fullscreen 3D and/or flash video, is that a known issue (with intel driver) ? [10:45] IRC is awesome, I've been using it since I was in Windows [10:45] many years ago [10:45] SO I am here to mostly observe but if a casual non Ubuntu chat arises I may join in [10:45] with version 4:4.5.4-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1 [10:45] Nikolas: do you use kubuntu, or ubuntu (gnome) [10:45] IRC is the original chat format if I recall correctly [10:45] The grand daddy of chat [10:46] No? [10:46] pretty much [10:46] it's been around for a long, long time [10:46] I use Ubuntu [10:46] before the Internet [10:46] ok, this channel is for Kubuntu, which is KDE on Ubuntu [10:46] so some of the stuff will be the same [10:47] DOH! JUst when I thought I had left Tardville I did a full circle and returned [10:47] LOL [10:47] the #ubuntu channel is the main ubuntu discussions [10:47] but, there are hundreds of channels on this server [10:47] there is another command to see all of them [10:47] How do I find them? [10:47] however, it can slow down your system quite a bit [10:48] so it's best to do: /list searchterm [10:48] if you do: /list ubuntu [10:48] you'll get a list of about 100 ubuntu chnnels [10:48] I'll do some online research. ANd you know what. You are awsome! Thank you for not talking down to a newb as most often do in chat rooms. [10:48] channels [10:48] I was there [10:48] people helped me [10:48] TY again. I am going to try this all out. [10:48] that's the way it's done in free software [10:48] :-) [10:49] you are most welcome, and have fun! [10:49] WIll do my friend. Have a good day (or morning or night depending on where ya are) [10:49] Adios [10:49] rather late; just waiting for the dishwasher to finish.... [10:52] OK I am back. [10:53] SO how do I add new chat rooms to the list? I found a sheet on Google @ http://searchirc.com/ [11:01] Hello [11:02] Can anyone help to install Kubuntu 10.10 on kinda old PC? [11:06] Is it possible to have quassel use an external program in an alias? [11:22] Can anyone help to install Kubuntu 10.10 on kinda old PC? [11:22] Ripiz: how old and what are the pc's specs: cpu, RAM, graphics card? [11:24] It's 9 - 10 years old. Diuron 800 MHz (Pentium 3 equivalent), 256MB RAM, no graphics card, just some integrated chip [11:25] nickmoeck: aliassing to /exec scriptname should do the job [11:25] rork`: Ah, thanks. I totally forgot about /exec [11:30] Ripiz: I maverick the nvidia 96 and 173 drivers are broken. If you try to install on such a system use the alternate install cd and not the desktop installer. I installed kubuntu lucid it on a 1200Mhz, 768MB RAM, Integrated nvidia NForce2 and it gave me a very slow experience, so first you might want to install a lighter desktop interface, e.d.xfce (xubuntu) or lxde (lubuntu). I prefer lubuntu but it's harder to configure then KDE or Gnome. The [11:30] choice is yours ofc. [11:31] Ubuntu Maverick with Gnome worked fine on the system though, except for the graphics [11:36] rork`: Alright, thanks. [11:36] rork`: Would I have to put the script in a particular place? /exec /home/nick/script.sh is not working [11:39] nickmoeck: I don't know, maybe use the complete path [11:40] that is the complete path :) I will tinker with it. Thanks again for your help [11:40] oops, missed that :P [11:42] Solved :) For future reference in case anyone find the log of this channel via google some day, scripts for quassel have to go in /usr/share/kde4/apps/quassel/scripts [11:55] I boot Install CD, choose Start Kubuntu, after it I get blue loading screen, takes like 5 minutes to load. Then it turns into black screen, either empty desktop, either desktop with error message. Any workaround for this problem? (P.S. I'm new to Linux) [11:56] * nickmoeck is Now Playing: Real World by Matchbox Twenty [12:14] Ripiz: did you use the desktop cd? [12:16] Yes [12:22] Ripiz: could be a graphics driver problem, also the desktop install shouldn't be used with less then 512 MB RAM, try the alternate install cd === serenity_ is now known as serenity === serenity is now known as Guest53905 === Guest53905 is now known as serenity [13:24] is the only way to get kde4.5.4 the kubuntu-ppa ? or is there another route? [13:25] you can download and install it from source if you feel adventurous: http://www.kde.org/info/4.5.4.php [13:26] rork`: hmm, not sure I'm that adventurous. :) [13:27] I enabled the ppa and had a disaster, so ppa is disabled, [13:28] Can anyone please tell me from where can i download kubuntu [13:28] c2tarun: www.kubuntu.org get kubuntu [13:30] shane4ubuntu: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download#download-block can u tell me how to download kubuntu with gwget from this link? [13:32] c2tarun: 10.10 32 bit? [13:33] rork` sorry how to use gwget here? [13:34] How long "Configuring man-db" step takes while installing Kubuntu from Alternative CD? I feel like it's not doing anything [13:35] Ripiz: some steps might take quite long, I don't remember which exactly though [13:36] rork`: sorry how to use gwget here? [13:36] rork`: There's no Hard Drive activity or etc. Could it be dead? [13:37] c2tarun: you can't find the correct url directly on that page, the only thing I can think of is going trough the menu and copy the url from the downloads window. You can also look up the correct url here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/ === serenity is now known as Guest56337 [13:59] hello. I have trouble changing my screen size [14:00] it returns to its previous size when I restart my computer [14:00] any help? [14:02] walter_: I'm aware of that problem but the default size is fine for me, let me have a look [14:03] you could set it in /etc/xorg.conf but maybe there is a more friendly solution [14:05] or try out krandr [14:05] ok, I'll try [14:05] krandr? [14:06] it's a system tray application which allows you to change screen size and rotation [14:07] like you do in system settings, but it's more easily accessible if you use if offen === Guest56337 is now known as serenity [14:08] el archivo xorg dentro de etc/x11 no existe [14:08] xorg file does not exist within etc/x11 [14:08] the full name is KRandRTray, but I think the package is called just krandr [14:09] I can run commo root? with kdesudo krand [14:10] it should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf be warned that if you put something wrong there you can get stuck with a non-working X server [14:11] krandrtray you shuldn't need to be root [14:11] okay but xorg.config [14:12] also /etc/X11/xorg.conf usually isn't installed by default, some drivers install it and it will be used if it's there [14:12] in my kubuntu [14:12] dont exist [14:13] quit [14:15] sorry for my English is very basic [14:16] personaly i use ubuntu not kubuntu but normaly it's the same i use the "Gestionnaire de paquet synaptic" for installing a softawre ( i use the soft of Kde in ubuntu with no problems ) :D [14:16] etc/x11 look in the folder. and the xorg.conf file is not there [14:17] or i use "logithèque ubuntu" in application menu ;) its work fine :D [14:17] you can create it "kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf" use "man xorg.conf" as a reference you can find many examples on the web, still remember about the warning! [14:18] if you do a mistake and the X server won't start anymore you will be left with just the text consolle [14:18] chromium web browser work fine but firefox have more speed [14:19] in your case the easy fix would be to delete the xorg.conf file [14:19] I never touch the x.conf file it's so risky :D === dani is now known as Guest22388 [14:25] thank you all. I'll try === ralsina is now known as ralsina_away [14:44] Why does apach2 on ubuntu prompt me to download php file instead of processing? I did sudo a2enmod php5 and sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 and restarted apache. Still no luck [14:54] JuJuBee: in which sequence? you may want to do a2enmod php5 after having installed php [14:55] Finally it's done installing! Thank you rork`. But I have some horrible horizontal noise >.> [14:59] slhk: I did that [15:00] JuJuBee: then it looks like a problem with mime-types to me, do the files have .php extension? === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna [15:02] Howdy [15:03] slhk: yes === jackson_ is now known as jackson [15:21] Hello to all, i've to report a bug against the screensaver, but i don't know the package of it, is it kdeartwork? [15:23] njin: I believe you got the answer on another channel [15:24] Ripiz: try installing your video drivers in: Kickoff > System > Additional Drivers if I remember it right [15:26] rork`: Will that work if internet connection isn't available? [15:26] Ripiz: no [15:28] It doesn't run very well, feels like I'm trying to run Vista. Any way to decrease memory usage? [15:32] hello [15:34] hi [15:35] hi [15:36] when I try connecting to an irc network via quassel, nothing happens [15:36] I see no attempt on connecting [15:37] Nie___, which server are you trying to connect [15:37] BlusKaj: KottNet and QuakeNet [15:37] did you specify a channel ? [15:38] I can't even connect to the Network [15:39] So i don't [15:42] Mhm... Amarok took exactly 17 minutes to start up, awesome [15:43] Nie___, have you tied other irc clients , like konversation or xchat. I think you need to check your server settings in quassel first tho. [15:43] Ripiz: shut down services you don't need, use light software, see e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems === MuzerAway is now known as Muzer [15:44] Blueskaj: In the notifications is written that i got a private message, but i can't connec [15:44] Blueskaj: In the notifications is written that i got a private message, but i can't connect* [15:44] !quassel | Nie___ [15:44] Blueskaj: But thanks, i try xchat now [15:45] strange , I though quassel was the default irc client [15:45] It is [15:46] personally I prefer konversation , it's a bit more work , but very configurable [15:51] hi [15:51] is there no more package called kde-devel? [15:53] serenity: no, the last version it was available in is lucid: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kde-devel&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [15:53] oh [15:53] that might explain it ;) [15:54] it's a metapackage so you can check the dependencies in lucid and install them :) [15:55] did so [15:55] thanks [15:55] thought i would consists of more packages, but so it's easy [16:13] hello all, I am from India, looking for a paid support of ubuntu server in india, any advice please [16:16] !in | noren [16:16] noren: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [16:16] Bah. Installer doesn't like that I have Meego on my netbook, wants to wipe everything. Maybe it can't resize BTFRS [16:17] thanks DarthFrog [16:17] hello friends. I have a ubuntu 10.10 and recentrly installed kde, wich I've decided to use from now on. Question is: why some apps look like gnome like chrome, foxit etc? Any way to fix this? Thanks in advance [16:20] george_: some software use GTK as graphical interface rather then the KDE native QT. You can set the GTK theme in System Settings > Appearance > GTK+ Appearance [16:20] ok, I have some tinker time and wanted to upgrade my kde to 4.5.6 via the ppa last time I tried it was disasterous, I have some ppa installed, but am not sure what caused the entire rucus anyone out there that can help? yofel_ ? or someone? [16:20] george_, some apps are gtkbased (gnome) , others are Qt (kde mostly) as for chrome it doesn't integrate at al with kde , and foxi is the same I suppose [16:25] here is the dilemna once I enable to kubuntu-ppa repo, update and use aptitude to try and upgrade: http://paste.ubuntu.com/549880/ [16:25] I didn't do anything because last time it took me quite a bit of time to get it straightened back out. [16:25] Thanks rork' and BluesKaj. === rork` is now known as rork [16:27] I m using ubuntu 10.04. I want to format and install a fresh copy of kubuntu 10.04. I have two drives and I dont want to loose data in those two drives. Can anyone tell me how to format? [16:28] c2tarun: did you put /home on a separate partition? [16:28] c2tarun: What is on those two drives? How are they partitioned? [16:28] actually Sorry, I have three partitions. On one ubuntu is installed. I have my personal files on those two drives. [16:29] and I installed ubuntu on whole drive. Then rebooted with live CD and partitioned using gparted. [16:31] OK, let me get this straight: You have your /home directory on two drives and your Ubuntu system on a third drive? [16:31] DarthFrog: My home directory and ubuntu is on same drive. On other two drives, I have movies and songs and other stuffs === 16SAAWG0P is now known as domux [16:32] c2tarun: How are those other two drives mounted? [16:32] DarthFrog: how can i check that? [16:33] And how big is your /home directory? [16:33] Well, how do you access the data drives in Kubuntu? [16:34] I dont have kubuntu now, I have ubuntu. and i simply click on Places and Click on the drive name. My home directory is around 4GB [16:35] And how big is the hard drive that you have Ubuntu installed upon? [16:35] 30 GB [16:37] OK, that drive is the one only you need to touch. You don't need to do anything with the two data drives. First, if you have any data that you really care about, make a backup of it before starting. Secondly, copy your /home directory to one of the data drives (as a backup, as you'll be re-partitioning your system drive). [16:38] I allready copied my important stuffs to other drives. I copied Important stuffs from my home drive too. Do i have to copy whole home folder? [16:38] Will the 64bit install CD still auto-detect and install the netbook edition? My cpu is an Atom N450 which uses 64 bit instruction set [16:38] Boot the 10.10 LiveCD and install the new system to your system drive. Use the partitioner to re-partition the 30 gig system drive to 3 partitions: one is 2x the size of your RAM and is your swap partition, the second is about 10 GB and is your / partition. The last one is the rest of the drive and is to be mounted as /home. [16:39] c2tarun: Copy everything on your home folder that you care about. [16:40] Then, after the new system is installed, copy your old /home back to the new one. This way, in future youi'll only ever have to deal with the / partition again. [16:40] I guess I already have a swap partition for ubuntu. Can't I use that? [16:40] Yes. [16:40] I am not getting about the concept of second and third partition. Can you explain a bit please? [16:41] One drive, three partitions. [16:41] Swap, root and home partitions. [16:41] sorry to ask this :( but what is the difference between drive and partition? [16:42] OK, you shouldn't be doing this, if you don't know. In a nutshell, partitions are sub-divisions of a drive. [16:42] I plugged in my printer and the applet appeared, but my printer isn't there ... [16:44] c2tarun: What you are attempting to do requires more than basic knowledge and experience. Please get an experienced, knowledgeble friend to help you. [16:44] normally when i try to select any drive during ubuntu install, i always get an error of boot drive not selected. So what i use to do is, free some space using gparted, then during installation i get the option of use the largest unpartitioned space. I select that and done. But i guess its not the right way. So can you please tell me something about the error 'boot drive not selected'. [16:45] DarthFrog: The biggest problem is :( i m the only one among my friends, who use linux. No one know anything about it :( [16:47] c2tarun: In your case, the easiest thing would be to unplug the two data drives from the computer (if the system can't see them, it can't overwrite them!), then re-install Ubuntu, letting it have the whole drive. [16:47] genii-around: afaik, the netbook edition is 32bit only [16:48] DarthFrog: U are getting it wrong. I m using a Laptop. I have three partitions on one drive. I can't unplug anyone of them [16:48] Or do an upgrade in place. Ask on the #Ubuntu channel how to do that - this is #Kubuntu. [16:48] c2tarun: Ah. That's not what you told me. [16:48] tsimpson: Well, some version is currently installing from the 64 bit CD now... After a reboot I guess I'll know more [16:49] !upgrade ! c2tarun [16:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:49] genii-around: are you installing from the normal install CD, or the netbook install CD? [16:49] DarthFrog: Actually i tried to told u correctly, but due to my lack of knowledge i failed to explain sorry [16:49] !upgrade | c2tarun [16:49] c2tarun: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:49] tsimpson: According to the official Kubuntu documentation, netbook edition is now automatically installed from regular CD if it finds right hardware [16:50] hmm [16:50] c2tarun: Follow the instructions there. That'll be the safest way and will preserve all your data (but that's no substitute for a proper backup). [16:51] DarthFrog: my ubuntu is overbloated due to installations of many packages. I really wanted to remove it and reinstall it. Can you refer me any link that can explain me installation concepts? [16:52] !install | c2tarun [16:52] c2tarun: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [16:52] !automate [16:52] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [16:52] DarthFrog: thanks :) [16:52] c2tarun: After reading those links, if you have any questions, ask them on #Ubuntu, not here. This is for Kubuntu, not Ubuntu. [16:53] actually i wanted to install kubuntu on place of ubuntu so i asked here. anyway thanks a lot :) [16:53] c2tarun: As in, we know Kubuntu best. Not so much Ubuntu itself. [16:54] Aha! Good stuff. Welcome to the Light Side of The Force. :-) [16:54] DarthFrog: Is there much diff between ubuntu and kubuntu except desktop env? === ralsina_away is now known as ralsina [16:54] No. [16:54] tsimpson: It's on the reboot phase now [16:55] I liked KDE very much so I decided to switch to kubuntu completely :) [16:55] There are some differences in the system utilities but nothing much. [16:55] !kubuntu | c2tarun [16:55] c2tarun: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [16:55] DarthFrog? Light Side of the Force? That just sounds funny coming from DARTHfrog. :) [16:56] DarthFrog: ok Thanks :) [16:56] hehe, I guess so. I never really thought of it before. :-) [16:56] shane4ubuntu: I'm a convert from the Sith. :-) [16:56] I'm a convert from the Gnome. ;) [16:57] * DarthFrog was using KDE before there was a GNU Object Model Environment. :-) [16:57] Although I still like Gnome, so perhaps I'm a spy. :) [16:57] Eh, they're tools, not religious choices. [16:58] agreed, and I really like the way KDE is shapping up. [16:58] So do I. [16:58] kde4 that is [16:58] DarthFrog: GNU Network Object Mode Environment [16:58] tsimpson: Installed regular x86_64 desktop [16:58] never did make sense, but what do you expect from GNU [16:58] hi how can I reset all the desktop panel to the original form? My girlfiend made a disaster deleting the principal kubuntu panel. [16:58] tsimpson: AKA GNOME. They had the acronym first, then went searching for an expansion. :-) [16:59] tsimpson: they write programs not names. :) [16:59] They had an acronym and an icon before they had a name. :-) [16:59] DarthFrog: I mean, you missed "Network" from the acronym [16:59] lol [16:59] shane4ubuntu: but they do have a think for odd acronyms [16:59] *thing [17:00] tsimpson: So I did. :-) It was a test. You passed. [17:00] Taravel, right click on the desktop , add panel, then you you'll have to use the add widgets option to fix the panel to your liking [17:00] Taravel: you can add the panel, just right click, and then on the panel add the widgets that are gone, if you are missing menu, then put the menu back up [17:00] lol [17:00] Taravel: Install a new panel widget, then configure it as you wish. [17:03] mmm the problem is that My girlfriend is unable to do this thing because it is difficult to explain by phone... :( can she cancel .kde folder? [17:03] Taravel: you can reset all the plasma settings by removing the ~/.kde/share/plasma*rc files [17:04] the names have changed a bit over time so there may be 1 or many [17:04] er, ~/.kde/share/config/plasma*rc [17:04] Taravel: Right click on the desktop, click on Add Panel, click on Default Panel is difficult? [17:06] mmm there isn't default panel [17:06] she has kubuntu 10.04 [17:07] Hmm, I'm running KDE 4.6. It has Add Default Panel. [17:07] never assume people always have the latest everything ;) [17:07] tsimpson: I didn't realise that it was a novelty. :-) [17:10] what kde is she running? cause I have 4.5.1 and it has that option. [17:10] 4.4.2 is the default in lucid [17:12] Even so, just adding a panel isn't hard. [17:13] sure, an empty useless panel :) [17:13] It's not exactly a Sisiphyean labour to populate an empty panel. :-) [17:14] Drag 'n drop widgets. Easy-peasy. [17:15] ok she deleted all ~/.kde/share/config/plasma*rc files and alla worked well!!! Thank you very much! [17:15] Good to know that worked. I'll have to remember that. [17:24] valorie: Side menu? [17:26] valorie: You mean information panel in dolphin? If that's what you mean it doesn't allow adding description === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:35] I want to access the internet by SSH'ing from my desktop machine to my laptop. I have sshd up and running on my latop and can login. Any pointers to docs on how to tunnel interwebs access would be very helpful :) [17:36] EvilRoey: Back back You spawn of darkness and shadows! [17:37] JeroenDeDauw: If you pass the "-Y" parameter to ssh, it'll forward X output to your machine. [17:37] i.e. ssh -Y -l ... [17:38] DarthFrog: Thanks, will give that a try. [17:55] Daskreech: nevahhhhhhh!!!!!! I have darthanubis, DarthFrog and DarkriftX on my side. [17:55] so there. [17:56] but then meph stepped in, and things changed.. [17:57] Does anyone have any idea how to *slow down* a rsync transfer? I have hundreds of gigs to transfer and I'd like to not use all the bandwidth. [17:59] DarthFrog: what did you try so far? [17:59] yofel: Reading the man page. :-) [17:59] (there is --bwlimit but I never tried it) [17:59] DarthFrog: periodically plug out the Cat5? [17:59] LOL [17:59] Daskreech: hehe. the servers are downtown. I'm not. [18:00] ifdown :) [18:00] Ah, --bwlimit. that sounds just the ticket. [18:00] man rsync should help though [18:00] Daskreech: You're very .... helpful. Aren't you. [18:01] Daskreech --help [18:01] Fatchance!! [18:01] yofel: Thanks, that's working. [18:01] :) [18:02] * Daskreech wonders if you can run rsync perpendicularly on the same file across two interfaces to get twice the speed [18:05] Daskreech: Let us know the outcome. :-) [18:05] I have two interfaces but unfortunately not two ISPs so that's capped [18:06] I can probably try it at work [18:06] would need a fairly large file though [18:06] have they started distributing Debian on bluRay yet? [18:06] Daskreech: I should think that an ISO of a DVD would be more than sufficient for your purpose.

But Blu-Ray as a data format? [18:17] genii-around: how is BluRay any different from a DVD ? [18:18] For straight data usage their policy might be different === sean is now known as Guest99585 [18:43] My printer isn't printing ... Epson CX5800F ...

KF7MTE [19:14] np [19:14] wow, never thought so many people use kubuntu [19:14] :) [19:16] To cheer you up: there are probably a lot more then just in this channel ;) [19:18] just tried to be controversial [19:19] Pawel__P: this is a support channel, idle chatter is in #kubuntu-offtopic ;) [19:19] thx for support then :) === sean is now known as Guest29289 === Snowhog_ is now known as Snowhog [20:54] kubuntu isnt starting for me [20:54] how do i force a fsck on reboot? [20:55] any reasons as to why it wont start up? [20:57] zeno: sudo touch /forcefsck [20:57] anyone? [20:57] thanks [20:57] Khaotic: till what point do you get? [20:57] yofel: already tried that though, and dont see it fscking when i reboot :\ [20:58] til the actual login attempt [20:58] like i get the login screen but when i try to login, it just goes to blank screen [20:58] is there a way to manually do it? when i try to umount /dev/sdc5 in the root recovery console it says its busy [20:58] zeno: that's the file mountall looks for though. See /etc/init/mountall.conf [21:01] Unable to mount Ubuntu 10.10 i386 [21:01] Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [21:01] mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/Ubuntu 10.10 i386 busy [21:01] so... [21:01] seems my cd drive is broken? was gonna try to boot into live cd to try [21:01] Khaotic: hm... can you press ctrl+alt+f2, log in, and run 'mv ~/.kde ~/.kde_bak' to see if moving your configuration out of the way helps? [21:02] zeno: that's on live disk boot o.O? [21:02] when i pop it in the tray now [21:02] yes [21:02] wont boot from the live cd [21:03] once i move it, now what/ [21:04] yoann21 [21:04] cp: cannot open `.minecraft/saves/World1/1/0/c.1.0.dat' for reading: Input/output error < example of errors im getting [21:05] Khaotic: log out from there, switch back to login screen with ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 and try to login again [21:05] said something about virtualbox on f7 [21:07] oh, you're in virtualbox... [21:07] no [21:07] if i am idk y [21:07] ah, nvm, try ctrl+alt+f8 [21:08] well i just went back to the cmdline and reboot [21:08] i tried this time and now im at a black screen [21:08] earlier i was having problems with kwin [21:09] then I'm out of ideas, please stay around for a while so others get a chance to answer if the come back later [21:10] im scared [21:17] Maybe someone in here can help me, I'm trying to transfer files from one hard drive to another, I have the old one mounted under /media/ and a symlink called /old/ [21:17] and the new one mounted under /media/ and a symlink called /new/ [21:20] for some reason, when I try to ls /old/home/, I get one file .directory [21:20] and nothing else [21:20] I checked the other folders /bin /usr /etc and all of them are virtually empty [21:23] test [21:40] anyone? [21:51] Khaotic: Reboot, and from the Grub menu, choose to boot into the recovery kernel. After you are logged in, type: df -h and see how much of your root partition is used. [21:52] how do i get grub? === seiflotfy_ is now known as help [21:52] Khaotic: hold shift during the boot to force grubs menu to appear === help is now known as Guest41209 [21:53] what's the difference between virtualbox and virtualbox ose ? [21:54] rtdos: See http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions [21:54] james [21:54] rtdos: ^^ i think the ose is the opensource edition... as far as I know it wont contain any closed source parts (although that is mostly just a guess) [21:54] which linux kernel?? [21:55] Khaotic: probally the latest one... :) unless you have a reason not to [21:55] Khaotic: In the displayed Grub menu, it will be the second one from the top. [21:56] * James147 notes that he didnt hear Khaotic original question ^^ [22:00] Snowhog which recovery menu to select [22:01] Khaotic: The second item in the Grub menu. [22:02] clean? === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [22:02] Snowhog [22:04] Khaotic: It will look like Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-24-generic (recovery mode) but the numbers might be different for you. [22:05] well im at some kind of recovery menu [22:07] Snowhog k i see the partitions === Guest41209 is now known as seiflotfy [22:17] Khaotic: And? Did you type: df -h and see how much of your root partition is used? [22:17] yeah [22:17] 68% [22:18] Khaotic: Okay. That isn't bad. You have enough unused space on the root partition, so your problem isn't related to that. [22:19] Khaotic: What is your login user name> [22:19] *name? [22:19] stephon [22:19] y [22:21] Khaotic: Okay, type: cat /home/stephony/.dmrc and tell me what Session= shows [22:22] give me a few [22:23] wat does cat do [22:23] Khaotic: cat=concatenate. Equivilant to the type command in Windows. [22:24] meaning [22:24] is it like nano? [22:26] Khaotic: cat will concatenate files and print them to the stdout by default... useful for just printing files to stdout :) [22:26] Khaotic: nano is a text editor used for editing files [22:26] o [22:28] session=default [22:28] Khaotic: Okay. As it should be, so again, that isn't what's causing your problem. [22:28] Khaotic: what problem are you having btw? [22:29] when i try to login, the screen freezes [22:29] it doesnt even try to lead the kde [22:29] Khaotic: could you create a new user (sudo adduser USERNAME) and try logging in with them? [22:31] James147: Better to have Khaotic remove the quiet and splash from the boot kernel line and try again. [22:31] Snowhog: if tis a login problem, not a kdm starting problem i dont see how that would help much? [22:32] James147: Hmm. Of course. If he is getting to the KDM login screen. [22:32] ^^ I would test a new user first and see if its a config file error in the home directory, (if the new user works then it almost certainly is) [22:33] ok [22:33] i added a user [22:33] now what? [22:33] Khaotic: try logging in as them from kdm [22:34] how === scnd101_ is now known as scnd101 [22:34] restart the computer? [22:34] Khaotic: the same way you login with your normal user... yes you need to boot into the full system [22:38] James147 Snowhog it gave me a black screen [22:38] Khaotic: Did you log in using the new user? [22:38] Khaotic: hmm, so a system problem then probally [22:38] :( [22:38] nooooooooooooo [22:38] now what? [22:38] Khaotic: first thing: try installing kubuntu-desktop [22:39] (that will make sure you have all the required packages for kde) [22:39] so reboot into recovery? [22:39] Khaotic: no [22:39] ctrl alt f2 [22:39] where's is all the different iso mirrors for kubuntu [22:39] Khaotic: press alt+crtl+F1 to switch to a virtual console [22:40] Khaotic: (or f2 willl work as well, use alt+ctrl +F7 to get back to the gui) [22:40] wow [22:41] 47 newly installedf [22:41] wtf [22:41] i got an error [22:41] Khaotic: then login to the virtual console and type "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" (note thatyou need to be connected to the internet) [22:41] found it [22:41] Khaotic: what error? [22:42] unable to fetch archives, maybe run apt-get update [22:42] or try with --fix-missing [22:42] Khaotic: are you connnected to the internet? (ping -c 3 www.google.com to check) [22:43] nope [22:43] why not!?!?!?!? [22:43] Khaotic: ok, do you ahve a wired or wireless connection? [22:43] wireless [22:43] can you connect to a wired network (it makes things allot easier)? [22:43] errr [22:44] id have to unplug the 20 foot ethernet cord from my xbox [22:44] give me a few [22:44] actually [22:44] Khaotic: might be easier and quicker then trying to connect wirelessly via a console :) [22:45] k done [22:45] k we good [22:45] now do it? [22:45] Khaotic: check to see if your connected ^^ [22:45] i am [22:45] then try to install kubuntu-desktop if you are [22:45] wow...47 new installs [22:46] Khaotic: yeah, sounds like a broken upgrade or something removed kubuntu-desktop... once its installed again then try to log in [22:47] * James147 notes that it is generally safe to remove kubuntu-desktop (its only a meta package), but it can cause problems and break upgrades [22:48] so those missing packages are the problem James147 ? [22:48] Khaotic: I would have said so, but trying to loging after they are installed should tell you if somehting else is wrong :) [22:49] k [22:51] k installed [22:51] now restartt? [22:51] Khaotic: shouldnt need to [22:52] Khaotic: at most all you need to do is restart kdm (though i would think you dont even need to do that [22:52] i do [22:52] sudo restart kdm will do that [22:52] yay [22:53] it's loggin it [22:53] i think when the applications and shit crashed earlier, they some how got uninstalled [22:53] whats kdewallet? [22:54] Khaotic: crashing applications shouldnt uninstall programs :s ... well kpackagekit or the updater might break things :p [22:54] Khaotic: kwallet (not sure if kdewallet is the same) handels passwords for various kde programs [22:55] yeh thats it [22:55] (like the network manager, rekonq, etc) [22:56] James147: Nice job. [22:56] also [22:56] Snowhog: :) [22:56] any clue why the session came back up? [22:57] Khaotic: Because that's what you had when everything when to crap. [22:57] even though i cut the pc off many times [22:57] Khaotic: what do you mean? programs auto loaded? kde auto loads any program that was running when you shut down (you can turn this off) [22:57] Hello kubuntu people, I have installed lampp and when i start it, it says "Cannot run MySQL", I have seen with the command "apt-cache show mysql-server | grep Version" that multiple versions of mysql are installed. I don't know which one belongs to lampp and how to uninstall the others ? [22:57] ^^ and allot of kde programs auto restore their state when launched [22:58] o [22:58] mudassar_: how are you running lamp? [22:58] /opt/lamp/lamp start [22:59] ^^ mudassar_any reason your not using the version from the repos? [22:59] I installed lamp using apt-get [23:00] and I don't know where did the other mysql servers come from [23:00] mudassar_: ^^ cant find the package lamp :S and /opt isnt a location it would be installed [23:01] mudassar_: easiest way to install a lamp server is by running "sudo tasksel" and selecting the lamp server package === Authority_ is now known as Authority [23:01] I don't know whether it will remove the other installations of mysql or not if I remove lampp and again install it [23:02] mudassar_: i would remove the version you installed any use the above method to install it [23:02] (never had any problems doing it that way) [23:03] so should I do apt-get remove lampp ? [23:03] and install it again with your way [23:03] thanks guys [23:03] this is khaotic [23:03] mudassar_: if thats how you installed it... [23:04] Programmer_: So, problem solved? Happy camper? [23:04] no i guess it was not installed like this ........ because it is not able to uninstall it using apt-get remove lampp [23:06] then what to do [23:06] mudassar_: its probally safe to remove the /opt/lamp derectory then (assuming noting you need is in it) ^^ but knowing the way you installed it and follooing any uninstall measures is safer [23:06] very happy camper [23:07] I downloaded it from apachefriends [23:07] let me see [23:08] Programmer_: You can delete the new user you created - it isn't needed anymore - unless you want to keep it around. [23:08] oh yeah [23:08] i new i forgot to do something [23:08] Programmer_: Of course, you need to do that while you are logged in under your normal user. [23:08] :) yeah, always forget that bit [23:09] their website also says "To uninstall type rm -rf /opt/lampp [23:09] :) [23:09] i kno [23:09] i am [23:09] thank you guys once again [23:10] Programmer_: Are you doing periodic 'cleanup' of your downloaded packages: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean [23:11] yes [23:11] i did a few today [23:11] because it said i should [23:12] thats what screwed up my pc i think [23:12] Programmer_: Good. This ensures that your /root partition doesn't fill up to the point that you can't log in. [23:14] Programmer_: ^^ you should make sure that kubuntu-desktop is installed after doing an autoremove :) [23:14] how [23:14] * James147 hasent done a apt-get clean in along time... and goes off to see how large the cache has gotten [23:15] Programmer_: Just run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop again. If it's installed, you'll be told it is. [23:15] Programmer_: reinstalling it is the simplest way :) [23:15] ^^ and if it isent installed it will install it again [23:15] (by reinstall, i dont mean an actual reinstall but what Snowhog said) [23:16] k [23:25] I have created a bootable usb using pendrive linux and kubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso, the problem is the video doesn't work after grub, a black screen is shown all through out. [23:29] * James147 suggests using usb-creator if you already have a *ubuntu install or unetbootin otherwise to create the live cd [23:30] eradicus: i dont know for sure, but that problem suggest to be that grub isnt booting the kernel i highly suggest trying to use one of the above programs to create a live usb [23:31] James147, the usb boots fine but it doesn't show anything after grub [23:32] eradicus: Remove the quiet and splash options from the kernel line and continue the boot. What is the last messasge displayed? [23:32] but I can see the activity in the drive, and it shuts down properly when I press the power key for a short time, meaning the kernel loaded successfully and I can hear the sound [23:32] eradicus: i still suggest trying unetbootin or usbcreator... and thats what i said, grub isnt booting the kernal [23:34] eradicus: hmm [23:34] let me try removing the quiet and splash [23:35] * James147 still sugget trying unetbootin or usbcreator, he has never had a problem with them and many many problems with pendrive linux's instructions [23:35] thanks James147 will try that also if removing the options won't work [23:35] i.e. quiet and splash [23:37] ^^ another simple approch if your on a unix computer is to use dd to copy the image to the drive directly :) [23:41] hi James147 [23:41] Hey Daskreech [23:42] What's up? [23:43] Daskreech: not much, recoding one of my applications :) [23:54] James147: Which applications do you have? [23:57] Daskreech: Currently kpassgen and kdicegen are mine ^^ though i keep planning more and never getting around to them :p [23:58] sounds like me an kscreensaver [23:58] Daskreech: ^^ nop, never done a screensaver (dont use them either, think they are a waste of power :P ) [23:59] I don't use them either but they are fascinating learning tools [23:59] Well in FOSS they are
