xjjkhello, how is KDE 4.6rc1?01:03
xjjkdigiKam/marble are broken for me in my 4.5.5 install on 10.1001:04
xjjkwondering if I should just upgrade everything01:04
james147xjjk: why use rc1? rc2 is out :)01:04
xjjkjames147: aha01:04
xjjkwell, same question applies01:05
xjjkI remember trying one of the betas and being miserable with how much was broken01:05
xjjkpower management in particular01:05
Daskreechxjjk: rc1 sucked rc2 is where it's at01:05
james147whats broken about digikam?01:05
xjjkjames147: well, marble specifically01:05
xjjkand apparently the marble kpart01:05
xjjkmarble just crashes on startup, consistently01:05
DaskreechThere are still some bugs but over all it's pretty nice I havn't found anything horribly broken except resuming from Sleep but that's the kernel's fault01:05
xjjkdigikam if you try to view photo on top of OpenStreetMap01:06
Daskreechxjjk: With what error?01:06
xjjkdiigkam crashes01:06
xjjkno error, seg1101:06
xjjksig11*01:06
xjjkI'm running some number of PPAs so I haven't bothered reporting a bug… I've had marble-related crashes before01:06
james147^^ sorry dont use that part of digikam :) but the rest of rc2 will stable enough to me...01:06
james147so might be worth upgrading to see, or you could try it in a vm01:07
xjjkmm, well the parts that broke for me before were power management01:07
xjjkwhich I can't test in a VM01:07
xjjkpowerdevil/whatever replaced it was very messed up in 4.6b101:08
Daskreechxjjk: run it from the konsole01:08
james147umm yeah :p... been running rc2 fine on my netbook though, havent had any problems with powermanagment on that01:08
xjjkDaskreech: run what, digiKam?01:08
Daskreechxjjk: marble01:10
xjjkDaskreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556714/01:10
xjjknot really useful...01:10
xjjkI could install the dbg packages but I don't think anyone cares since I'm using some odd mix of PPA packages01:11
DaskreechAn essential tile is missing. Please rerun the application.01:11
xjjkit's easier to upgrade to 4.6rc2 and try that01:11
Daskreechthat seems useful to me01:11
xjjkhrm, missed that01:11
Daskreechtry rebuild your map cache I would guess01:12
Daskreech(this is in no way trying to stop you getting RC2)01:12
xjjkyeh, just nuked .marble01:12
xjjkstill crashes01:12
xjjkwith same error01:12
xjjkand, nevermind01:13
xjjknuked the configs in .kde01:13
xjjkdoesn't crash anymore01:13
moses_is there a program that lets me turn off all the fancy effects for my kubuntu to save processing speed01:13
xjjkbut it still crashes digiKam, blah01:14
moses_or is there some kind of processing optimizer?01:14
james147moses_: system settings > desktop effects01:14
moses_i messed with those01:14
moses_but theres this program called kwin01:14
xjjkDaskreech: yeah it consistently crashes when attempting to use OpenStreetMap01:14
moses_and i cant open it01:14
xjjkdeleting my marble config apparently just reset the default map01:15
xjjkto the lame globe01:15
james147moses_: kwin is the window manager... it should already be running, if its not you have no control over your windows :)01:15
Daskreechxjjk: run digikam from the konsole?01:15
moses_ok]01:15
moses_but how can i make it minimal01:15
james147^^ desktop effects is handeled by kwin01:16
james147you should be able to just turn them off via that settings page01:16
xjjkDaskreech: same error about an essential tile missing01:16
Daskreechxjjk: in Digikam?01:16
xjjkDaskreech: yes01:16
Daskreechha. Might want to pop into Digikam and ask about that01:16
Daskreechsounds like a kwin issue?01:16
xjjkDaskreech: eh, I'm going to get told to upgrade01:17
xjjkwhich is why I'm asking about 4.6rc201:18
Daskreechxjjk: Doubtful but it's not a bad idea01:18
xjjk<#digikam> digikam 1.4, what? upgrade to 1.7!01:18
Daskreechxjjk: Rc2 should work fine but YMMV01:18
Daskreechit's really solid so far though01:18
Daskreechxjjk: To be fair many KDE devs are not like that unles they begged people not to use 1.4 for real work stuff01:19
xjjkDaskreech: can't hurt I guess, I'll ask01:19
Daskreechif it was known to be not the best release they will release it and say please find bugs.01:19
xjjker, actually01:20
xjjkit's not a digikam problem, it's a marble problem...01:20
DaskreechThat normally means a huge number of fixes between that and 1.7 so they will say please use that since we can't keep a track of all the fixes01:20
Daskreechxjjk: The marble problem crashes digikam?01:22
xjjkDaskreech: it appears so, yes01:22
xjjkselecting the OpenStreetMap map in either marble or in digikam's marble control causes both to crash01:23
Daskreechxjjk: oh then bug marble then :)01:26
Daskreech(so to speak)01:27
Daskreechwhile you upgrade to RC2 ;)01:27
xjjkdoes powerdevil/power management work with rc2?01:31
xjjki.e. can I suspend with krunner01:31
xjjkand does the plasma applet work01:31
xjjkthose were the main problems I had with b101:31
james147xjjk: is working here01:32
xjjkjames147: cool, I'll just upgrade01:32
xjjkand then debug from there01:32

valoriertdos, in the past I've just used the replace/replace all function04:36
valorietype in a tab, and in the other however many spaces you want04:37
valorieworks like a charm04:37
DaskreechYeah there is a space to tabs entry though04:42
rtdosi've got that ticked already daskreech but wasn't sure if it would convert tabs to spaces after the fact.04:45

luis_hello everyone i like to ask you about KDE i am readin for Kubuntu10.10 that is has been done with kde4.5.5 but now they are working on kubuntu10.10 with kde4.6 is this correct?06:29
luis_or they are just doing kde4.6 and then user will have to kubuntu10.10 choices?06:29
luis_2*06:30
emonkeythey have the choice06:30
luis_like kubuntu10.10 with kde4.5.5 and also kubuntu10.10 with kde4.6?06:30
emonkeybut there will never be a 10.10 installation CD with 4.606:31
luis_so right now the one available is kubuntu10.10 with kde4.5.5 right?06:31
luis_oo06:31
emonkeyyou've to install it after06:31
luis_so? how do you get kde4.6?06:31
emonkeyare the packages released yet?06:31
luis_there's a RC06:32
luis_available as of 2011-01-0706:32
emonkeythere will be accessible through a repository if they will be packaged for 10.1006:33
emonkeyjust like the packages fpr 4.5.5 http://www.kubuntu.org/kde-sc-4.5.506:33
luis_but how do you make an upgrade on kde?06:33
luis_i am just finding out this06:33
luis_never knew it before06:33
luis_well anyway06:34
emonkeyit depends which upgrade do you mean ... just upgrade a program or kde to a newer version or the hole system ....06:34
luis_kde06:34
luis_te newest is kubuntu10.10 right06:35
luis_?06:35
emonkeyyes06:35
luis_so that would be the whoe system06:35
luis_whole*06:35
emonkeythe next will be 11.4 which will be released in april06:35
luis_jesus06:35
luis_to fast06:35
luis_well anyway06:35
luis_few days ago somebody told me that kubuntu10.10 is lighter and faster than the former one is this true?06:36
luis_cause i do still have hardy06:36
emonkeyhm ... good question.06:36
emonkeyand unfotunately for me it's now time to go to work ...06:37
luis_and the reason is cause the karmic and lucid are too heavy for my pc and it slow down all aplications06:37
emonkeysorry, I'll hope you find the answers, but I've really to go.06:37
luis_ok txs06:37

luis_how do i know my hd capacity? can anyone tell mepls06:47
luis_i just found that that kubuntu10.10 requieres a video VGA graphic card so if my desktop don't have that it means it won't work properly???06:52
DarthFrogluis_: Kubuntu doesn't require that.  Your system requires video capability to boot.06:53
luis_what does that mean06:53
luis_i am looking at kubuntu10.10 requirements and it does says that06:53
DarthFrogIt means if you have a working system now, video wont'be a problem.06:53
luis_i have hardy06:54
DarthFrogYou'll be fine.06:54
luis_the reason why i haven't install the other ones ... well i actually did, but with lucid and karmic my desktop slows down a lot06:54
=== GHH is now known as abc321
DarthFrogAs for your hard dirve, use "Disk Utility" from your Menu/System.06:55
luis_that's why i am not using the newer ones06:55
luis_ok06:55
luis_however someone told me that 10.10 is lighter and faster than the formers ones is this true?06:55
DarthFrogI don't know if Hardy had "Disk Utility" but it'll have something similar.06:55
DarthFrogI can't tell you that since my machine is has a 6 core processor and 8 gigs RAM.  It'll run anything fast. :-)06:56
luis_course it does :P06:56
luis_not mine06:56
DarthFrogWhat do you have?06:56
luis_i don't think we have that yet in here06:57
luis_i think is up to 3 core06:57

luis_old old old desktop pentium intel 2.40 Ghz IGb hd and 512 Ram06:57
luis_that's my desktop06:57
DarthFrogAh.  That's ancient alright.  But in the '80s it'd be close to being a supercomputer. :-)06:58
DarthFrogCan you put more RAM in it?06:58
valorieheh, my 80s computer had 80k!06:58
valoriewho needs more than that?06:58
valorie:-)06:59
DarthFrogvalorie: Back then?  Or now? :-^)06:59
luis_well we are not in the 80's anymore06:59
luis_and OS are developing faster06:59
luis_and they do require more efficient machines07:00
head_victimGood afternoon, I will be attending a conference locally here in Australia and I was hoping to loop some promotional videos to showcase Ubuntu. To this end I was wondering if such a video exists for Kubuntu?07:00
luis_that's why my concern about installing kubuntu10.10 i don't know if my computer will be fast and reliable with this new kubuntu07:00
DarthFrogHave you considered trying Xubuntu or Lubuntu instead of Kubuntu?  Xubuntu uses Xfce instead of KDE and is much less demanding of system resources.07:01
luis_i haven't hear lubuntu07:01
valorieDarthFrog: I think it's in the attic!07:01
DarthFrog!lubuntu | luis07:01
ubottuluis: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support.07:01
valorieColeco ADAM07:01
luis_xubuntu i have had and i don't like it at all07:01
DarthFroghead_victim: Sorry, I don't know of any.07:01
valorieluis, can you boot to a CD?07:02
luis_mmm so that suppose to be lighter but also better than Xubuntu right?07:02
valorieor a USB?07:02
luis_yes i can07:02
head_victimDarthFrog: yeah I thought there would have been a few of each but I'm struggling to find many at all, they're all "howto" screencasts rather than promotional material.07:02
DarthFrogluis_: I've never tried Lubuntu.07:02
luis_me neither07:02
luis_i have never hear about it07:03
luis_first tiem07:03
head_victimluis_: Lubuntu is what I use on all my P4 machines and older. It's a good mix between features and speed.07:03

DarthFroghead_victim: I wonder whether it might be worth emailing Canonical and ask?07:03
luis_i see07:03
valorieheh07:03
luis_sound nice07:03
head_victimDarthFrog: just have to find the right one07:03
head_victimemail address that is07:03
valorielike Canonical would make a Kub. ad!07:03
valorielol07:03
head_victimWell the ubuntu website has one of theirs but other than that I haven't been able to find anything really.07:04
DarthFroghead_victim: You can ask Riddell, either here or in #kubuntu-devel if you manage to catch him.  He's the head honcho of Kubuntu.07:04
luis_let me get this right, so base on what you just said Lubuntu is meant to be lighter but also with a nice desktop enviroment therefore lot better than Xubuntu?07:04
DarthFroghead_victim: But with you being in Oz and him in Blighty, I think you two might be out of phase.07:05
head_victimDarthFrog: I'll just leave a message07:05
DarthFrogluis_: What don't you like about Xfce on Xubuntu?07:05
head_victimRiddell: DarthFrog has volunteered you as someone who might know if any Kubuntu promotional videos exist that I can use at a conference to advertise Kubuntu. When you get this ping if you can please either PM any links you might know of or places that might be better to ask.07:06
luis_it won't take my keyboard media and also i don't see any diference like being faster than kubuntu and desktop is not nice as well07:06
head_victimluis_: depends on what you call "better". To me is a lot lighter so if you're after lighter then it is "better"07:06
DarthFroghead_victim: LOL!  Riddell doesn't know me from a hole in the ground.07:06
head_victimDarthFrog: well he might now ;)07:07
luis_xubuntu lighter than Lubuntu?07:07

I know that the average write speed for big files is 6-7Mbytes/sec and 3-4Mbytes for small files! Can anybody guess what is going on?10:40
Peace-abc321: but kid what did you do to the system ?10:40
Peace-naftilos76: mmm the files are very little?10:41
naftilos76it doesn't happen only in small files. It happens always.10:42
Peace-naftilos76: what i can say it's this : dolphin has a bug for little files (when coping lots of files)10:43
naftilos76it doesn't happen when copying small or big files to an external hard disk. it only happens on flash memories10:43

Exposurei'm trying a dist-upgrade but I get a 404 on some of the packages... what to do?16:01
james147Exposure: you should try chaning your mirror16:02
james147changing ^^16:02
tsimpsonmake sure you run "sudo apt-get update" before going through the upgrade process16:03
Exposureok that works16:04
Exposureso the nl.archive.ubuntu.com is out of sync since yesterday16:04
GHHExposure, Can you help me for root login please?16:06
tsimpsonGHH: use "sudo -H -i" to get a root shell16:07
james147GHH: why do you want to login as root?16:07
GHHtsimpson, Not shell but from login window16:09
Exposurejust press ctrl-alt-f116:09
tsimpsonyou can't16:09
tsimpsonand shouldn't16:09
james147Never login to a gi as root16:09
james147gui ^^16:09
Exposurelets not decide that for him16:09
tsimpsonit's explicitly disabled16:10
Exposureit works for me16:10
james147Exposure: ^^ its a really bad idea... and there is NO reason for it other then to break your system16:10
Exposurebut maybe it won't once the dist-upgrade is finished :P16:10
tsimpsonif you think you need to login as root, you're doing something wrong16:10
* james147 agrees16:11
Exposurewell i really don't like this direction  (k)ubuntu is taking16:11
Exposurelinux has always been about giving free choice to users16:11
=== Muzer is now known as MuzerAway
GHHtsimpson, I need to configure something]16:11
tsimpsonyou can disable the restrictions, but that's just making bad things happen16:11
james147GHH: what? there are other ways of doing it16:11
tsimpsonGHH: why do you think you need to login as root for?16:12
james147tsimpson: is it disabled in kubuntu or kde by default?16:12
tsimpsonmost display manages disable it by default16:13
tsimpsonand if you enable it, root can't login by default anyway16:13
tsimpsonas it has no password16:13
GHHtsimpson, a lot of thing16:13
GHHI also set the root password16:13
GHHI can use su but i need minimum only for 1 time the root login16:13
=== MuzerAway is now known as Muzer
tsimpsonwhy do you need to _login_ as root?16:14
tsimpsonrather than just switching to root?16:14
james147GHH: what are you trying to do?16:14
james147GHH: also... its not advised to enabled a root password... if you need a root shell use "sudo -i"16:14
=== GHH is now known as abc321
abc321tsimpson, Even i do not know how to login as root from GUI window then what is the benefit16:21
abc321then should i not learn it?16:21
tsimpsonyou never need to login as root, that's why sudo and kdesudo exist16:21
james147abc321: what are you trying to achieve? we can tell you how you should be doing it ^^16:22
abc321thats mean, Impossible it for ever?16:22
=== Aranel_ is now known as Aranel
Exposureits not impossible there's just no good reason to do it16:23
james147abc321: ^^ and so we dont want to tell you with out a really good reason to as it is a really bad idea16:23
james147and there is a almost certinaly a better way to do what you want16:24
tsimpsonallowing login as root decreases the security of your system, and allowing GUI logins as root decreases it further16:24
abc321tsimpson, I know16:25
james147abc321: then what are you trying to do?16:25
abc321It will be easy for me to configure my some personal thing'16:26
james147...16:26
abc321yeah16:27
tsimpsonyou're personal things?16:27
tsimpson*youre16:27
abc321It is not mean that i will login every time16:27
abc321Yeah it is personal16:27
tsimpsonwhat personal settings can you configure as root that you can't configure as your normal user?16:28
james147abc321: still dont see any reason for it... just use sudo and kdesudo16:28

Merboit says it failed to read from the mirror17:40
* james147 wonders if a reinstall would be quicker... 17:40
Merbothen it aborted17:40
james147Merbo: hmm, try "dpkg --configure -a && sudo aptitude install -f" again then do-rel again17:41
Merboi told it to select best mirror first17:42
Merbojames147: 50 Packages to be installed O.O17:45
james147:s only 50?17:45
BluesKajMerbo, run sudo apt-get clean17:45
james147from which command?17:45
Merbosudo apt-get clean didnt do anything17:46
fibresEvening all.17:46
Merbohi17:46
* james147 notes that 'dident do anything' and 'dident output anything' are two completely different things17:46
Merboi am sorry, didnt DISPLAY anything.17:47
fibresI wonder if anyone could help. Im trying to install 10.10. Soon as the x server loads all I get on screen is millions of black and grey lines.17:47
james147fibres: what driver/graphics card?17:47
fibresGraphics card is a nvidia. I have not even been given option of selecting the drivers.17:49
BluesKajfibres, how old is your pc ?17:50
fibresIm talking about when x loads on the install cd.17:50
fibresThe pc is 2 years old ish. Its a intel quad core.17:50
BluesKajmaybe the burn was corrupted17:51
fibresWell I have now tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions of mythbuntu and now the 32 bit version of kubuntu and all do the same. Its really weird.17:54
=== AndrewMC` is now known as AndrewMC
Peace-fibres: could be a kernel panic17:58
Peace-fibres: as well as a bad iso image17:58
Merbofixed it myself.17:59
Merbothank yo17:59
fibresWell its weird. If I do a crtl-print scr-k the x server reboots, the screen goes blank for a few secs then it comes up same again. To me that says isnt a kernel panic.17:59
james147the open source nvidia drivers might not like your card ^^18:00
Peace-fibres: other distro have you tried?18:00
Peace-of course could be the open drivers18:00
fibresPeace-: I have had linuxmce which is based on ubunto 0810 I think working ok out of the box.18:01
Peace-fibres: just to know18:01
Peace-but you have installed the sytem on the hd?18:01
Peace-or18:01
Peace-you have just tried the livecd?18:01
fibresPeace-: I cant even get the cd to boot to the point of being able to install.18:06
Peace-fibres: ok it's  a driver issue18:06
Peace-fibres: did you tried alternate cd?18:06
Peace-!alternate18:06
ubottuThe Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal18:06
fibresNo I havent tried that yet. Ok ill give that a go. I have also downloaded 10.04 to see if that is any different18:07
Peace-fibres: guess is the drive man18:07
Peace-but i am not pretty sure18:07
Peace-if you believe it's only a driver issue but the kernel is running18:07
Peace-i will try to install with altenate cd18:07
Peace-but... afterthat you could get the same problem18:08
Peace-but using the recovery mode you could get the konsole at least18:08
Peace-and try to install another video driver...18:08
fibresI think its the driver or its sending out wrong resolution/refresh rate. Just dont know how to change. Ill try 10.04 see if that has any more luck.18:08
Peace-anyway it's a pain18:08
fibresOk. I thought it would be pretty much plug and play. Never had issues with limux on this box before.18:08
Peace-fibres: if you can pick your old xorg.conf18:08
fibresUm not sure if I have that.18:09
Peace-fibres: locate xorg.conf18:09
Peace-on konsole18:09
Peace-should find out18:09
Peace-it18:09
Peace-xD18:09
BluesKajfibres, or your cdrom isn't reading properly18:10
Peace-fibres: could be the iso image corrupted as well said from BluesKaj18:11
Peace-!md518:11

* james147 still thinks its a driver issue... he has seen similar things on some nvidia cards (mostly modile ones) with the new open drivers18:12
* james147 and suggests trying to install the closed ones useing jockey-text or installing nvidia-current from the repos on a tty, 18:13
james147^^ (assuming you have a net connection)18:13
Peace-xD18:13
james147hmm... rekonq dosent want to close :S (reopens stright away)18:14
james147thats better :)18:15
* Peace- use chromium but it's heavy18:15
Peace-james147: anyway... sudo apt-get install webkitkde18:15
Peace-and use konqueror xD18:15
* james147 switches between chromium and rekonq... prefures the kde intergration of rekonq but the better stability/polish of chromium... 18:16
Peace-james147: mmm have ytou a bug kde account?18:16
* james147 dosnt like konqueror for some reason18:16
* Peace- which one ?18:16
Peace-xD18:16

YuraDocthanks20:57
james147^^ but vms have never been that great for hardware acceleration20:58

suqaCould somebody try to help me with some easy stuffs? Got to find out witch drivers who works and those who isn't.22:49
yofeldrivers for what device?22:49
suqaAll hardware in the computer.22:51
james147!details | suqa22:51
ubottusuqa: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."22:51
suqaLike windows "device manager".22:51
james147suqa: as far as I know there isent anything like that in linux... and its not as simple as that22:52
james147suqa: what exactly are you having problems with?22:52
=== mitch_ is now known as Guest75873
suqaI installed ubuntu (assume that its almoust the same as kubuntu) at my acer aspire 1362LC. Averything is slow and I think that the chipset isn't working as it is meant to do.22:54
g0thhi22:56
g0thhow can I set individual backgrounds for each desktop instead of one background for all desktops?22:56
james147suqa: you might want to ask in #ubuntu  ... and say exactly what problem you are having... what is slow? describe it if you can... I dont see why it would be driver releated22:56
g0thwhen I watch a flash movie with firefox, the following can happen: whenever I switch to a different desktop I see a frame of the mentioned flash movie for about 2 seconds then the normal desktop "image" comes...22:56
g0th(those are two separate questions)22:56
james147g0th: 1) System settings > Workspace behaviour > virtual desktop > Check "differnet widget for each desktop"22:57
suqajames147: Yes, but I've tried to ask there but there is so many people writing there so they wont notice my question.22:58
g0thah thanks22:59
g0thyou mean windows behaviour I guess but it worked :)22:59
g0thany idea for the second question?23:00
james147g0th: heh, no i meant workspace :) but i am on kde 4.6, might have changed23:00
james147g0th: not sure... cant seem to replicate it here (well, with rekonq, dont use firefox)23:01
james147g0th: can you see if it happens with other browsers23:01
g0thI dont think so, but it is like once every 50 times23:02
g0thI dont have a way of reproducing it23:02
g0thonly by try and error23:03
james147g0th: you can also try changing the desktop switching animation23:03
g0thbut it is very very annoying, each time I switch the desktop I first have to wait 2 seconds for the image to disapear23:03
g0thhmm good idea I try23:03
g0thyeah that worked :)23:04
g0thmaybe it will fail again next time but it least it temporarly solves the issue23:04
g0thanother question: when I press alt + tab it does not consistently run through the windows23:05
g0thwhen I keep alt pressed ofc it works23:05
g0thbut if I press alt + tab, then again alt + tab etc23:05
g0thit does not go through everything23:05
james147g0th: holding alt+tab here cicles through the windows :S... as for missing windows, are the missing windows on a different desktop/screen?23:06
g0thdid you try to press alt + tab, then stop then press alt + tab again etc?23:07
g0thinstead of keeping the alt key pressed down23:07
james147g0th: o, that works as well23:07
g0thfor me it just switches between two windows23:07
g0thif I have more than two windows it doesnt work23:08
james147g0th: ahh, press alt+tab, then let go of tab and press tab again while still holding alt23:08
g0thyeah that works properly23:09
g0thbut if I let alt go then it doesnt for me23:09
james147^^ or it seems to work the way you want if you change the sortorder to "stacking order" rather then "recently used"23:09
g0thahh :)23:10
g0thI try to check where this settings is23:10
g0thit seems exactly like what I want (stacking order)23:10
james147on kde 4.6 its at system settings> window behaviour > task switcher23:10
james147g0th: ^^ from that window you can also chose to filter windows to "Current screen", "Current Desktop" ... etc23:12
g0thyes, thanks alot23:12
g0th:)23:12
