Spaztic_Oneso, uh, the panel and stuff is frozen. I can still do alt-f2 to start programs (which is what I did to start irc). what is the command I need to pass through terminal to restart that aspect?02:43
Spaztic_OneI know its restart, but don't know the program name02:43
DarkriftXi can never find that command when i need it either02:44
DarkriftXsometimes i just have to restart kwin02:44
DarkriftXwhich is kwin --replace but not sure if that will work for you02:45
Spaztic_Oneit says unknown job for kwin02:45
DarkriftXtry in the rn command dialog02:45
Spaztic_Onern?02:46
DarkriftXrun*02:46
Spaztic_Onedid there first, didn't do anything02:46
DarkriftXhrmmm02:46
DarkriftXyou cant use a browser?02:46
Spaztic_Oneprobably can.02:46
Spaztic_OneYep02:47
Spaztic_Onecan even switch workspaces02:47
DarkriftXsudo /etc/init.d/kdm start <--- not sure about that02:47
DarkriftXthat restarts the whole desktop manager02:47
Spaztic_Onekicker is the name of it I think02:49
Spaztic_Oneor not02:49
Spaztic_Onelol02:49
Spaztic_Onejust flat out did sudo restart kdm02:56
DarkriftXlol02:57
DarkriftXkicker is the panel at the bottom but i thought by "and stuff" you meant kwin also02:57
DarkriftXi think kicker --restart would have worked02:58
DarkriftXor not02:58
Spaztic_Oneoh, not restart kicker?02:58
DarkriftXguess this is the blind leading the blind02:58
* DarkriftX shuts up02:58
Spaztic_Onehahaha02:58
DarkriftXi dont really use the gui for much except for chrome and xchat02:59
DarkriftXeverything else i use terminal.02:59
Spaztic_OneWell, either way, you suggested restarting kdm, and that worked.02:59
DarkriftXoverkill, but glad it worked lol02:59
Spaztic_One*shrugs* I'm not complaining02:59
Spaztic_Onelol02:59
DarkriftXif not a "sudo reboot now" will always work lol03:00
Spaztic_Onebut yeah, I use the panel for monitoring my battery, cpu usage, and the time03:00
DarkriftXi have a big 4in wide panel on the right for that crap03:00
Spaztic_Onebut it also had a huge blurry rectangle covering the bottom right corner of my screen which kinda bothered me03:01
DarkriftXcpu/temps/disk activity/bandwidth03:01
DarkriftXoh, i get those a lot03:01
DarkriftXi get wallpaper showing thruogh my apps when a tooltip type window goes away03:02

CuBeW0rKhi all! I have an odd question: is it possible to install KDE4 4.6 packages from kubuntu ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to debian testing?11:17
CuBeW0rKsynaptic says it can upgrade a lot packages, but in the end it says a lot will be broken and wants to remove them11:17
bulldog98CuBeW0rK: Normaly it won’t work, because kubuntu uses experimental packages and so some of the deps can’t be installed11:18
CuBeW0rKanf if I tell apt -t maverick ?11:20
CuBeW0rKtoo bad I badly need 4.6, but don't have time for a full system reinstall :(11:21
bulldog98CuBeW0rK: I guess that the debian team will build upon the kubuntu packaging and so they hopefully have it in a few days11:22
CuBeW0rKdebian itself won't build new packages untill Lenny is not out11:23
CuBeW0rKthere's  a "semi official" repository, but that updates weeks later too11:23

JuJuBeeWhy is the 32 Bit version of 10.10 the one that is "Recommended" ? and not the 64 Bit?12:56
yofel_because that will work on all systems so users don't get confused about downloading an image that doesn't work on their systems. Also, it doesn't require 32bit compatibility libraries and wrapping as for flash, skype, etc.12:57

JuJuBeeOK13:02
iulainbut then maybe is better dvd install i got errors with cd13:02
attila-^^ciao13:02
iulainhi13:03
james147JuJuBee: you dont `have` to... as far as I know you can access all 6 gigs of ram on a 32bit kernel (though it needs spical options set), but each application can use more then 3-4 gig of ram... on the other hand, 64bit is simpler :)13:03
james147iulain: dvd just contains more packages... no point in using it unless you want to install it on something wiht no internet... best to use the alternitive if your having problems with the cd13:04
iulainmno idea maybe on cd some files missin thats why is recomended check md5 but...13:05

BluesKajGoliath, I don't bother with kmix, alsamixer is easier more flexible and overides all kmix settings anyway13:30
james147^^ so its best to rename and delete later if all went well (though its only kmix ;) )13:30
Goliathjames147: should i reinstall package after i remove the file?13:30
james147Guest51481: then its probally also a bad config file :) you can reset plasma-desktop to its default settings by renaming ~/.kde/share/config/plasma*  (all files begining with plasma that is)13:31
james147Goliath: no13:31
iulainyes but make sure you have backup copy to this file13:31
Guest51481ok thanks13:31
james147Goliath: kmix will create it if it dosent exist on next run13:31
james147Goliath: "killall kmix && kmix" should restart it13:31
iulaintry full remove config files also with synaptic first13:32
james147Goliath: iulain: Re installing kmix will do NOTHING... its jsut a user level config problem13:32

rtdosgenii-around: Dapper (6.06) - i have kubuntu installed on a machine with only 128Meg RAM & 700MHz Celeron CPU and 12G Hard Drive (very very low specs). it was mainly a windows 98se machine but now i use it mainly for games (mostly text based) and to practice shell scripting. it does not have internet access and upgrading to a newer distro would be pointless on this machine.16:38
rtdoswhere would i d/l the archived packages / repositories for 6.06 ?16:38
=== ralsina is now known as ralsina_lunch
genii-aroundrtdos: Apologies on lag, work required me. You can use a cdrom as a repository by adding it with apt-cdrom, or by making a manual entry in sources.list . As for trying to download the entire repository, you're looking at about 30-35Gb. Also it's not archived yet because 6.06 server is still active and supported16:50
rtdossorry, i'm trying to do 2 things here at once: i'm not looking at downloading the whole repository, just certain packages.16:51

gaurdianAQthank you18:30
gaurdianAQI don't use irc very often so I'm not very knowledgeable...18:31
gaurdianAQSo is there any chance someone here might be able to help me with some grub issues...18:31
DarthFrogIt's more important to have fun.18:31
gaurdianAQAlso I hope I wasn't intruding on anyones conversation...18:32
james147!ask | gaurdianAQ18:34
ubottugaurdianAQ: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)18:34
gaurdianAQAnyways what I was hoping I could get help with, is recently I switched back over from windows, to linux... I was planning on setting up a dual boot, but I forgot that the simpler way to do it would have been to install windows first and then kubuntu after so that grub picks up windows, but I forgot since it's been a while and I installed windows after, now grub has been overwritten... How hard would it be to reset up grub without wiping kubuntu off and18:36
gaurdianAQreinstalling... or would it just be better to reformat, I hadn't yet installed many programs so it wouldn't be to much of a hassle.18:36
DarthFroggaurdianAQ: This channel is frequently inactive for hours at at time.  It's also the nature of IRC that multiple conversations can be going on simultaneously.  To continue a thread, preface your comment with the nick of the intended recipient, as I've done for you in this one.18:37
DarthFroggaurdianAQ: It's pretty easy to do what you describe.18:37
gaurdianAQDarthFrog: Alright and sorry for asking to ask a question18:38

DarthFroggaurdianAQ: We were all newbies once.18:38
DarthFrog!grub | gaurdianAQ18:38
ubottugaurdianAQ: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.18:38

ubottugaurdianAQ: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub218:38
james147^^ thats probally the one you want :)18:39
DarthFrogAs usual, james147 is correct. :-)18:39
* james147 notes they share the link you want anyway...18:39
gaurdianAQOk then I wasn't sure if Ubuntu had switched over to grub2, I remember reading somewhere that not all distros had switched18:39
DarthFroggaurdianAQ: Kubuntu was one of the first to use GRUB2.18:40
gaurdianAQDarthFrog: Really, well I was using Ubuntu before, but when I realized installing 64 bit was a bad idea I decided to give KDE a try, I g2 admit I'm loving KDE over GNOME, so DarthFrog, when I'm typing does the message appear with the orange background as it does for me when you type to me?18:42

DexterFanyone know a ppa with vdpau enabled kaffeine-kde3 for 10.10?19:25
james147pickabuntu: I would back up any stuff you need onto an external media (flash drive or cd) then install ubuntu and copy the stuff back across assuming its not that much and you no longerr want windows. If there is allot of stuff then it becomes tricker19:26
geeteehi. are there any ppa's with packages for kdevelop 4.2 (final) for 10.10? I want to upgrade to KDE 4.6 but need Kdevelop for work and don't want to break it.19:27

james147klux: my old laptop the light didnt come on at all :p19:31
kluxyou sure it wont spoil my wifi ?19:31
james147klux: if the connection is fine and not dropping out then its probally just a buggy driver playing with the lights19:31
pickabuntuwhat do you mean by "live cd" : http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook19:32
james147klux: and my current one the light dosnt turn off at all :p19:32
kluxhow to fix this buggy driver19:32
kluxconnection lags though19:33
kluxits lagging alot19:33
james147pickabuntu: ubuntu uses a "live cd" as its installer, and lets you either boot into a full desktop on the disk, or run the installer and install it to a disk (or you can install it from the desktop)19:33
pickabuntuok so if i boot into a full destop, then would it give me the option to back up by files19:34
james147pickabuntu: it lets you try out the system before installing it...  as well as backup anything you need to or prepare anything else you might need to before installing19:34
james147pickabuntu: no, but it will allot you to access your files and you can back them up manually19:34

james147klux: ^^ so you really dont need one, even if you have a windows computer i would suggest jsut having the av on that rather then kubuntu as well  :)  why should linux have to protect windows from its own stupidity19:39
pickabuntuwhat about backing up driver names19:43
* BluesKaj is tempted to dump windows after yesterdays probs with makware19:43
BluesKajmalware19:43
james147pickabuntu: driver names?19:43
james147pickabuntu: ubuntu should have most if not all the dirvers you need out the box, and if not run "Hardware Drivers" from the menu.... though it might eb called something different in ubuntu19:44
james147^^ that will install all the needed drivers for closed source drivers19:45
pickabuntuwell once i put ubuntu on there properly and i want to switch back, so i put a bootable xp cd in there, with all the driver names deleted, i wouldn't be able to run wireless internet on xp                   SOURCE: (tried with osx86)19:45
james147pickabuntu: then i suggest that if you decide to switch back that you down load the windows drivers on ubuntu first... you should be able to google the make of your laptop to get the drivers you need19:46
pickabuntugood advice.19:47
pickabuntuthank you19:47
pickabuntu(why didn't i think of that...)19:47

rtdoshow come i am getting a wrong architecture message when i attempt to install the following: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/otherosfs/xapple2 - i thought i could install legacy 32bit packages?21:08
james147rtdos: :( dosnt look like apt-get supports that :S though running the application should work21:11
james147!amd6421:11
ubottuAMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information.21:11

pickabuntui downloaded the destop ubuntu edition, so i go into the boot device selection menu, by hitting F12, and select cd but windows starts as normal/not the ubuntu installation, why?21:27
pickabuntuhello?21:29
pickabuntujames147?21:31
james147pickabuntu: did you md5sum check the iso?21:32
pickabuntuwhat does that mean21:32

pickabuntusums are the same21:38
rtdosjames147, I tried downloading the file directly from that link and i get that same message. :-(21:38
james147pickabuntu: try reburning the disk as a slower speed or using a usb21:39
james147!liveusb21:39
ubottuFor information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent21:39
pickabuntumy computer doesn't boot from usb21:40
james147rtdos: yeah, as far as i can tell apt, or at least ts front ends dont understand dualarch systems (ie running 32 on 64)21:40
rtdosouch. ok. i'll see if i can copy the files manually.21:41
james147pickabuntu: then try to reburn the disk...booting strick to the os when you selected to boot form teh cd indicates that the biso failed to find anything of intrest on the cd (namly aa mbr)21:41
pickabuntujames147, am i meant to use the windows ubuntu installer....!21:43
pickabuntu????21:43

geneiroshi there...21:52
james147Hello geneiros21:54
geneiroshi james14721:54
geneirosi'm having a problem in kde 4.621:55
james147!ask | geneiros21:55
ubottugeneiros: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)21:55
geneirosmy gtk styles doesnt work...21:55
geneirosok21:55
geneirosi was using kde 4.5.5 with molecule gtk style, and when updated to kde  4.6 all my gtk apps like firefox, gimp, eclipse doesnt use the gtk styles that i have configured in system settings...21:56
james147geneiros: do you have a ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and ~/.gtkrc-2.0  file?21:58
geneirosonly have .gtkrc-2.0-kde421:58
james147geneiros: then symlink it to the other21:58
james147(not sure if it will help :)  )21:58
geneirosyeeee22:00
geneirosit worked...22:00
geneirosyou're the best...22:00
geneiros:)22:00
geneirosnow...i have another one....i have my panel(task bar) and when i resize it to decrease or increase the height, when i log out and log in the panel seems to return to default height size...22:01
geneiroswhere does the settings of the size of panel are saved?22:02
Kurdistanhey guys will kubuntu 11.04 with kde 4.6 be any faster?22:13
Kurdistanand lighter?22:13
james147geneiros: panel settings are saved with the plasma-desktop settings at ~/.kde/share/config/plasma*22:13
james147Kurdistan: hard to say seeing as its no where near a realse state yet.... but the goal for every new release it to make it faster :)22:14
james147Kurdistan: kde and gnome cannot be considered light however, thats not their goal22:14
Kurdistanjames147, thx for your nice comment, I tried out kubuntu 10.10 and it was terrible slow.22:14
geneirosi think kubuntu 10.10 one of the fastest22:15
KurdistanI am myself a buntu person, normally I run ubuntu/lubuntu.22:15
james147Kurdistan: probally a configuration problem.. what drivers/graphics card did you have?22:15
geneirosi tried almost all the kde distros...and maybe kubuntu is as fast or better then pclinuxos22:15
Kurdistanjames147, I have Geforce Go 7400.22:16
james147Kurdistan: how much ram/swap?22:16
Kurdistan:) I am pretty well oriented with buntu distros.22:16
Kurdistan:) I have 2 gb ram so my swap normaly is around 2 gb.22:17
james147Kurdistan: kde should run smoothly with those specs (hell it runs smooothly on my netbook :D )... are you using teh open or close drivers for nvidia?22:17
KurdistanI am pretty good at tweaking for shorthing out boot-time (really easy with gnome/lxde).22:18
Kurdistanjames147 the close ones22:18
KurdistanI removed animation and desktop effect it helped little bit under kubuntu 10.1022:18
james147Kurdistan: try disabling desktop effects, see if that helps22:18
james147:S22:18
DaskreechKurdistan: YMMV!22:18
Kurdistanbut other then the terrible slow upstart/reboot/shotdown I like kubuntu/kde concept.22:19
DaskreechDon't reboot or shutdown :)22:19
james147Kurdistan: o its just start up and shutdown?22:19
bigjoolsit boots like the wind on my box22:20
KurdistanI can accept that kde/kubuntu will never be fast like ubuntu/gnome (in natty unity), but it would be good if it is in the same level.22:20
Kurdistanjames147 yes, but in general kubuntu is slow compare to ubuntu. If I compare to Lubuntu, Kubuntu/kde feels like Windows.22:20
Kurdistandont take me wrong I like all buntu derivates.22:21
Kurdistanso guys and girls, will kubuntu 11.04 be any faster then kubuntu 10.10?22:21
DaskreechKurdistan: compare it to ratpoison :)22:22
Kurdistanor should I stick with unity/xfce/lxde?22:22
DaskreechKurdistan: If being light and fast is your objective I'd say look at openbox or ratpoison22:22
Kurdistan:( I hope it will be fast and light, becuase kubuntu is damn good looking, eyecandy .22:22
Kurdistandaskreech, I have tried openbox under crunchbang it is fast, but pretty ugly.22:23
Kurdistanlxde with openbox integration is nicer.22:23
Kurdistanratpoison is geeky.:)22:23
Kurdistanhow is kubuntu netbook edition?22:24
DaskreechKurdistan: Try e?22:24
KurdistanI have notebook, can I try it or it is pain in the as like ubuntu netbook 10.10 ?22:25
KurdistanI think kubuntu netbook should be faster? Correct me if I am wrong.22:25
DaskreechShould be22:26
Kurdistanis the kubuntu netbook edition only good for intel atom users?22:26
DaskreechMore polished at the very least22:26
Daskreech If you want lighter and faster and pretty have you looked at E ?22:26
KurdistanI am not fun of e1722:27
KurdistanI read news that kwin will be faster. thats good. I hope they learn something from compiz team.22:28
rtdoskwin?22:29
Kurdistanrtdos you use kubuntu/kde and you dont know, kwin?22:31
Kurdistanthats wierd22:31
Kurdistankwin=kde based windows manager22:32
DaskreechKurdistan: Why would that be strange?22:33
DaskreechI'm sure most people using Gnome don't have any idea about Metacity or Compiz22:33
DaskreechAnd I'm sure whatever you want them to learn from compiz will probably not be learned in this release22:34
Kurdistandaskreech, maybe you are right.22:35
KurdistanI wish kubuntu all the best and I will be really pleased if kubuntu gets lighter and faster.22:36
Kurdistanit would be my main distro22:36
Kurdistanbye guys/girls.22:36
Daskreechbut in general expecting something to be capable pretty and fast is going to lead to very few choices and lots of compromises22:36
DaskreechUnless of course you build your own :)22:36
geneirosdoes preload work in kubuntu 10.10?22:37
Kurdistandaskreech, I dont have time for arch and my student internet is a main turn off.22:37
=== patrick is now known as Guest56484
Daskreechgeneiros: Preloading what?22:37
DaskreechKurdistan: Student internet?22:38
Kurdistanpreloading is something used to startup application faster.22:38
geneirospackage preload 0.622:38
Kurdistanthats what geneiros writs about22:38
geneirosused to work in 9.1022:38
geneirosand then in 10.04 stoped working22:38
geneirosif it works again...helps a little22:39
Kurdistandaskreech, my university internet I must log in to page before I can be able to use internet22:39
Kurdistanbye guys/girls.22:40
Daskreechah that doesn't seem like such a hard ship22:40

xjjkhello, is anyone using the Akonadi-based Kontact from Kubuntu's experimental PPA?22:50
xjjkhow is it…22:50
geneirosi havent tried22:50
geneiroshi xjjk22:51
xjjkgeneiros: hello22:51
xjjkI *really* want to do some kind off offline IMAP storage22:51
xjjkmy Internet connections have been getting slower and slower and I want to cache all this =/22:51
macoxjjk: you dont need the akonadi version to do DIMAP22:51
xjjkbut I don't want to download 3 GB of e-mail just to do it again with akonadi-based kontact22:52
xjjkmaco: I don't, but I rather not download stuff again22:52
xjjkmaco: also, last I used it (4.2?), there were a lot of bugs22:52
macoi would *hope* that if you have it in the old format itd convert it when you upgrade o the akonadi one22:52
xjjkmaco: that's something I'm not sure about22:52
maco4.2 is when i started using it. DIMAP was much less buggy than normal IMAP! normal IMAP crashed when you deleted > 1 message at a time.22:52
xjjkmaco: I had to nuke my nepomuk db going from sesame to virtuoso22:52
xjjkthat was *annoying*22:53
adi_it does convert when upgrading22:53
xjjkhence, I don't want to re-download all my e-mail22:53
geneirossee you..22:54
xjjkwell, back to the original question: is anyone using akonadi-based kmail, and how great/bad is it22:54
xjjkit's inevitable by KDE 4.6.1 or .2, I'm assuming22:55

drbobbdo I need any package other than flashplugin-installer?23:05
james147dont think so23:05
drbobbthen yes it is installed23:05
james147does it work in konq or other browsers?23:05
drbobbI've only been using chrome23:06
drbobbbut that probably comes with its own flashplayer?23:07
james147dont think so,23:07
drbobbwell flash does work for me in chrome23:07
drbobb64bit system btw23:07
james147try konq23:08
drbobbit's not installed by default, is it? just askin'23:08
james147it is23:08
james147or should be23:08
nysosymwow kubuntu have a lot of graphical bugs23:09
nysosymand this after 3 years of kde 423:09
james147nysosym: what graphical bugs?23:09
drbobb'which konqueror' says nada23:09
nysosymjames147: scratched images23:10
james147scratched?23:10
jcgshi :) can anyone help my try and get my laptop's mic working?23:10
nysosymjames147: hard to decribe, just damaged like mixed pixel lines23:11
james147nysosym: not seeing anything like that here,23:11
drbobbthe calendar plasmoid is too big, and it refuses to scale down23:12
nysosymsome menus are fluid, others like 5fps, makes no sense23:12
nysosymno consistency23:12
drbobb(just a minor annoyance)23:12
nysosymwindows can scaled to the dead23:12
james147nysosym: can you test a new user? see if they have the same problems23:12
nysosymjames147: i tried 2 new installs ;)23:12
nysosymnvidia non free driver23:12
james147nysosym: can you print screen it?23:13
maconysosym: from what ive heard, its to do with using documented parts of the X API that havent been getting much love from Xorg devs, but there's work going on to get the stuff Plasma & KWin use to be better supported by the X devs23:14
drbobbthe nvidia nonfree driver is buggy23:15
drbobbor at least, does not play well with kde23:15
drbobbthat is m experience23:15
drbobbmy23:15
nysosymmaco: ahh ok, it'll getting better after 3 years, nothing that apple or ms could do23:15
drbobbsome desktop effects need to be avoided, they tend to freeze the display23:16
nysosymdrbobb, a shame, 3 years ago nvidia was the best graphic card for linux23:16
drbobbI just tried to use the cube, and got a 2-minute freeze23:17
nysosymand thats called a final release -.-23:18
nysosymthere are very good ideas, but most of them seam very rough made23:19
james147nysosym: for most people it is stable... I have never had a problem with nvidia or kde being slow :s  its probally a small subset of devices that are affected23:19
nysosymshure, it's stable, but buggy23:20
james147nysosym: like allot f software ... hell most software :)23:21
nysosymbut the most of them work well in basic functions23:21
james147nysosym: not always for everyone, in this case it unfortunately happens to be you :(23:23
nysosymselecting files i laggy as hell, on a actual 4 core system with 3 ghz23:23
nysosymthat should not happen23:23
