[00:04] How does Kubuntu 10.10 fair on standard netbook hardware? Meaning single core atom 1.6ghz etc? [00:04] Roasted: works fine on my eee pc :) === fred_ is now known as Guest74029 [00:05] james147, good deal. I havent used kubuntu since kde 4.2, which was still kind of.. well let's not go there. Willing to give it another shot though :P [00:05] kde has improved ALLOT since 4.2 [00:05] doing the liveusb thing now, just waiting for it to complete [00:06] yeah, but at the time so many people talked up 4.2 to be amazing, when it uh. wasn't. at all. [00:06] has me semi skeptical :P [00:06] Roasted: ^^ i mean when compaired to kde 4.2, 4.5 is allot better [00:06] is 4.5 on 10.10? [00:06] or are you using a PPA? [00:06] yes [00:06] good deal [00:06] 4.6 is the new guy then? [00:07] 4.6rc2 is in a ppa as well [00:07] ah k. [00:07] yeah I'm curious. I made an image backup of Ubuntu 10.10 just in case with clonezilla. Never know :P [00:07] since this netbook is a screw around toy I figured I would utilize it to see what other netbook distros out there fair well. [00:07] I just tried jolicloud but the whole cloud thing is pretty laughable in my opinion, but it was such a nice interface though. [00:07] * james147 notes that you can install kubuntu-desktop inside ubuntu and efficivly have both on one partition [00:08] been there, done that [00:08] maaaaaaajor mess. [00:08] much easier to just have two independent partitions, one ubuntu, one kubuntu, that share the same home directory. [00:11] seems as if kubuntu has frozen in the process of booting it up in a live environment. not a good start... === mren is now known as mren|off [00:14] froze again... [00:20] formatted the flash drive, installed kubuntu 10.10 onto flash drive again, third time attempting boot - froze again [00:20] such a shame I can't even try kubuntu on a netbook. IT won't fricken boot. [00:23] well, I tried kubuntu. you failed me again. Bye guys. :( [00:24] hi, kubuntu 10.10 has a good Dock? [00:25] isaias: what do you mean by dock? [00:25] like the avant windows navigator that i used to have in ubuntu === gpc is now known as Gulfstream === Gulfstream is now known as gpc [00:26] isaias: dont use ubuntu so i dont know what that is... [00:26] Hi can some one help use the ctags plugin that comes with kate [00:27] it does create the tags file but does not load the tags in the tags tab in the ctags window [00:49] hola [00:49] i exracted a 7z archive withe right click extract here option. Can i be sure it was extracted without errors? [00:59] is there a way to open windows' *.url files in firefox that are located on a network drive? everytime i try to open them with firefox, firefox wants to download them. === marsh is now known as Guest25017 [01:03] rtdos, I think theres a handler for that included in crossover from codeweavers [01:42] codeweavers? [01:43] hello? [01:43] hello randomperson8356 [01:44] how do i find different networks to connect to? [01:45] wireless? [01:45] no chat networks [01:45] pretty new to irc and linux [01:45] not sure about networks :) would need to look on google for irc networks... [01:45] ok thanks [01:46] randomperson8356: /list however will list all channels on the network [01:46] ^^ [01:46] * james147 should have started with that one === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [02:16] Hi guys [02:16] Hello Pomeroy [02:16] I typed "init 5" in command.exe, and it looks to me like it's broken my colour capsules or something, any ideas? [02:17] command.exe? [02:17] Somebody on 4chan told me to do it. [02:17] Maybe it was terminal.ini...I'm not exactly sure. [02:17] dont listen to anyone on 4chan... [02:21] * james147 is disappointed in quality trolls today.... [02:22] lol! [03:00] * rtdos laughs ex-hub-er-ently === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [03:06] rtdos: aspell? [04:49] join ubuntu-us [04:49] Never!! [05:19] i need help for to limit cpu frequency in kubuntu 10.04 [05:24] BIOS? [05:26] juankrlos: why limit it? [05:28] How do I stop users from being listed in kdm? [05:28] I've tried dozens of themes, but it always shows a list, even though I've unchecked "Show list" in the KDM config screen under the "Users" tab [05:28] because the temperature is high (sometimes) [05:29] you can use cpufreq-selector to set governor and frequency [05:30] (needs to be done seperately for every core) [05:30] yofel, s/separately/independently/ [05:30] er, right [05:31] though I think cpufreq-set can also do all at once, but I never tried that [05:32] * james147 suggest looking into getting better cooling ^^ [05:32] (as well) [05:32] won't help if it's a notebook ;) (though yes, that too if possible) [05:32] * setuid uses a little script to overclock the fan on his Thinkpads [05:32] yofel: yeah :( ... [05:33] # head -2 /proc/acpi/ibm/fan [05:33] status: enabled [05:33] speed: 5068 [05:33] yofel: still worth a look, nothing worst then underclocking your computer [05:33] (well, except maby it melting ... ) [05:33] undervolting your laptop on the other hand, has HUGE advantages [05:34] setuid: how would you do that? (if there's no bios setting) [05:34] yofel, I do it on all of my Thinkpads... it's straightforward [05:34] Some info here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Pentium_M_undervolting_and_underclocking [05:35] There's probably others for other laptop models as well (assuming Intel and/or AMD cpus, of course) [05:35] Not sure about netbooks, ATOM processors and the link [05:35] s/link/likes [05:35] though atoms have a decent power consumption so there is les sof an advantage :) [05:36] Right, and that's where the other tricks come into play (disable usb wakeup, etc.) [05:36] powertop can help there [05:36] yeah, but you can't really underclock atoms, that's pretty much shutting them down [05:36] underclock != undervolt [05:36] They're very different [05:37] I know, undervolt might be possible [05:37] You can run your CPU at 5V, 2.4Ghz, or 3.8V, 2.4Ghz [05:37] and powertop *is* useful [05:37] * setuid fights with kdm, and refuses to give up [05:37] the kdm kcm doesn't work for that? [05:38] it's ignoring most of what I choose for settings, they appear selected/checked or unselected/unchecked in the config, so they SHOULD be working, but they're not [05:38] Could be an Ubuntu 11.04 buglet, one of about 3 dozen I've found and documented in the last 8 hours [05:39] :) oki, cpufreq-selector === miguel is now known as Guest98863 === Guest98863 is now known as mike === mike is now known as Guest37575 [05:43] * setuid is an idiot... why would I be looking in the 'Users' tab for user-specific configuration options, of COURSE it's in the "Convenience" tab, where it's completely unrelated... *smacks forehead* [05:44] woop, found a bug there too... damn [05:45] If you pass a username and incorrect password, it recycles the login dialog, but now the username is cached there === ron__ is now known as rbetzen === jayhunold is now known as jhunold === sre-su is now known as Janes147 === Janes147 is now known as sre-su [08:56] hey, anyone know something how to handel with k3b wodim error while burning ISO on CD ? === antonio_ is now known as antonio__ [09:10] hi all [09:14] ciao [09:18] hi everyone, i have an IP camera which i can access through its' web interface and configure it to save still images when motion is detected to an ftp server etc. I have been able to get a video preview through vlc by accessing the camera's ip like this: http://192.168.1.100/videostream.cgi . The video stream is compressed in MJPEG according to vlc video properties menu. I want to save that video stream to a hd but i don't know how. Can [09:18] anyone help? [09:22] naftilos76: you might find more knowledgeable people in #videolan , which is the VLC channel [09:22] valorie: thanks [09:29] good luck! [09:40] hey there, anyone awake? [09:41] dennister: there are many people awake [09:43] wonderful...middle of night here and I'm frustrated like there's no tomorrow :) 2 problems: my geforce 210 card and network dying too often [09:44] last night all of a sudden xorg didn't work, and while I did install proprietary drivers for this card once before, I can't find how to do it anymore? [09:45] dennister: run "hardware driver" (or launch jockey-kde from terminal) that is the best way to install them [09:46] nor can I find the link I used before by googling... [09:46] dennister: http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_210_us.html ? [09:46] valorie: ty [09:46] oh, sorry [09:46] james147 is much more knowledgeable than I am [09:47] james147: i think your advice is for a newer version than mine...I'm using hardy [09:47] why are you useing hardy? [09:47] james147: do you have all night? long story [09:48] its almost 10am here :p [09:48] heheh...4:48 am here, and if I start on the hardy-v-newer versions I'll never get anything else done [09:49] well, i cant help you with that version, its far to old for me to remember what it was like [09:50] james147: k, gotcha, thx for your willingness [09:50] anyone elseknow how do i install newer proprietary nvidia drivers for this geforce 210 card on hardy? [09:51] 800 x 600 resolution isn't going to cut it here [10:02] !nvidia [10:02] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:07] anyone know how to actually run the nvidia....run file? [10:08] ./nameoffile.run [10:08] ^^ might need sudo [10:08] probally does [10:08] * james147 also think you have to stop X first [10:08] yes...to install anything [10:08] that's right...now it's coming back to me...I think [10:09] bbs [10:25] hello [10:25] small problem: when logging in, the plasma desktop waits for my kwallet password to display the desktop. I think it appeared after an update.. [10:26] Before, I only needed the kwallet password for Kontact or Amarok... [10:26] any idea? [10:26] chiiiiiz: do you have any widgets taht might store a password? [10:26] Hi, James14 [10:27] chiiiiiz: any drives automatically mounting? [10:28] I have on the desktop the Trash, a widget that displays the free space available for my mount points and disks, the Google Translator, the Plasmacon terminal, and 2 folderviews [10:29] Yes, I modified my fstab a long time ago, long before the problem appeared... [10:29] Everytyhing was configured like it is now long before this problem appeared... [10:31] some network mountpoints use the cifs filesystem, since the folder to be mounted are on a W2003 Server machine. === marsh is now known as Guest21298 [10:33] On the right click on Plasma there is a command I do not understand... Between "Execute a command" and "lock/unlock the plamoids"... In french it is called "Agencements", arrangements in english [10:34] I have 3 of them, not named... that I do not know about... maybe this locks Plasma somewhere... Where can I remove them, what is their use? [10:37] chiiiiiz: maybe those are the Activities? [10:38] that's new, you can organize your different desktops into different activities [10:38] I guess so. What is their use? I never used them, but I may have browsed into them, and changed things that require the password. [10:38] News is the only one that comes to mind [10:39] I have 3 of them... but I do not see the use. How can I remove them? [10:39] so you could group activities that you normally do, all together [10:39] I just ignore them, until i put them to use [10:39] how are they in the way of anything? [10:39] I must add, I am most used to work under Gnome... KDE is quite recen,t for me... [10:39] sorry, I don't know anything about gnome [10:39] Sorry, I did not understand your last post? [10:40] drives me nuts to have to work in it [10:40] lol [10:40] why get rid of them? what harm are they doing? [10:40] anyone who nows a console tool to display current joystick positions!? [10:40] No, that okay, just to add that KDE is not my cup of tea so far... lost of things I still do not know about it... [10:41] it isn't for everyone, that's true [10:41] everyone should use what they like [10:41] ah, I thought maybe these"Activities" require a kwallet password... and explain the fact that I have this password asked before Plasma starts, which recent... and annoying [10:41] no, I don't think so [10:42] they might be lockable, such as a Business activity, which you would want passworded [10:42] or Banking [10:42] and so thought I may have to erase them in order to retrieve my former desktop conf... and no password before I start Kontact or Amarok [10:42] well, the reason you want a pw for Amarok is to access the web services [10:43] such as Last.fm, Magnatunes, etc. [10:43] if you don't use any web services, then you need no pw [10:51] agreed... I use them, and a mysql database also. [10:53] oh, an external db? [10:53] then yes, you have to give a PW one way or another [10:53] I prefer kwallet, since it's just once instead of over and over [11:01] I understand that Amarok, or Kontact may need the Kwallet passwd, but I still do not see why Plasma required it... Thanks anyway [11:10] chiiiiiz: it isn't that plasma requires it, but security [11:11] I believe you can set up your login to be without password, although I don't know how to do that [11:11] and since I have a laptop, I wouldn't do it [11:11] but that's up to you === mren|off is now known as mren [11:22] I did a normal apt-get upgrade and now I have screen corruption etc [11:22] It's mostly minor, but for example the colors in the toolbox thing in the bottom right are all wrong [11:25] understood... but I won't. THanks [11:31] maybe something on sytem settings there you can change password and other options [11:49] I have a problem adding contacts to my address book in kmail, since I have more than one std.vcf file. Akonadi tray applet say so, kmail say so. Looking in the .kde/share/apps/kabc I claim it isn't so. Any idea how to make all parts agree? [11:58] how do i play an AVI file from the web? [11:58] http://cslibrary.stanford.edu/104/ [12:03] ecinx, mplayer http://www.cs.stanford.edu/cslibrary/PointerFunPreview.avi [12:05] ok, thanks.. how do i pause apt-get dist-upgrade so i can download mplayer? [12:05] is it safe to do ctrl -c? [12:06] how may I copy an already pre-configured eclipse from one other box to my machine? [12:06] [it came already with a distribution] [12:13] ecinx: You wait [12:13] ok [12:20] ecinx, unless you're still downloading it's better to wait [12:21] ecinx, but you don't really need mplayer, you can use kaffeine or totem or whatever media player you use [12:21] it opened with totem but no video, like a codec issue i guess [12:23] ecinx, you can use vlc or do an apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras [12:31] thanks mndo, i have to go now [12:31] ecinx, sure, no problem === giuseppe is now known as Guest86881 [12:36] hi [12:36] with the last update [12:36] my device notifier never stop showing networks folders [12:36] how can i stop it!? [12:44] anyone?! [12:49] Hi folks [13:08] Hi folks, anyone has experienced all maximized windows go bellow the panel? Behave like Visibility - Windows go bellow. Using KDE 4.6 RC2 [13:08] if so, is there any workaround? [13:25] why are mounted disks added as /media/disk-1 instead of /media/
