| BajK_ | tsimpson: yes | 00:06 |

| progre55 | hi guys. Using kubuntu 10.10, and every time after I run vmware workstation (win xp) my alt key stops working on my host.. even after I shut vmware down.. any suggestions, please? | 00:46 |
| evilmole | does dmesg spit anything out when you tap the key? | 00:46 |
| progre55 | hmm.. let me see | 00:47 |
| veluxes | i did the dpkg -f ....openjdk-6-doc and it gives me a package discription but still cant un/install something.. | 00:47 |
| progre55 | evilmole: nope.. but apparently the alt key itself works (for instance when backspacing holding alt) but some combinations like "alt+tab" or "alt+f4" dont work.. | 00:49 |
| evilmole | does ctrl+escape do something? | 00:49 |
| progre55 | ctrl+escape opens the task manager.. | 00:49 |
| evilmole | umm, i'm wondering if vmware is crashed out in the background | 00:50 |
| evilmole | are you sure it's gone from the process list? | 00:50 |
| progre55 | let me check | 00:50 |
| progre55 | oh, apparently not.. | 00:50 |
| evilmole | veluxes... just need to figure out what pacakge to remove... not sure how yet... maybe some more expert can help | 00:51 |
| progre55 | these are the processes left after I've shut down vmware http://pastie.org/1510382 | 00:52 |
| evilmole | i'm not sure the key combo to release keys from vmware back to kde | 00:53 |
| evilmole | what is that? | 00:53 |
| evilmole | did u try using vmware and releasing keys while it's running and trying alt+tab | 00:53 |
| progre55 | the key combo is ctrl+alt | 00:55 |
| progre55 | let me start vmware again, and try releasing the keys.. | 00:56 |
| progre55 | nope.. alt+tab works in the guest machine, but not on kde.. | 00:57 |
| evilmole | lol | 00:58 |
| evilmole | umm | 00:58 |
| evilmole | sounds like a vmware oddity | 00:58 |
| evilmole | did u try using qemu and see if u have same problem? | 00:58 |

| yofel | tdn: maverick uses the network management plasma widget, check in the systray settings if it's enabled | 08:54 |
| tdn | yofel, there is nothing in the systray about network. | 09:00 |
| tdn | yofel, what to look for? | 09:00 |
| yofel | there should be under display -> extra items -> networkmanagement (is plasma-widget-networkmanagement installed?) | 09:01 |
| yofel | or network-manager-kde ? | 09:02 |
| tdn | yofel, I had to manually add the widget. Now it is there. I will check if it works. | 09:18 |
| tdn | yofel, it seems to be working. However, I added the widget myself. So it is not in systray. Just in the panel. I cannot drag it into systray. How do I fix this? | 09:22 |
| yofel | you need to add it there from the systray settings | 09:23 |
| tdn | yofel, ok. That gave me two. | 09:25 |
| yofel | remove the other one then, should leave the one in the systray enabled | 09:26 |
| tdn | Thanks. | 09:26 |
| CuBe0wL | hi all! I'm considering migrating my work laptop from debian to kubuntu, though I have a few questions | 09:27 |
| CuBe0wL | 1: for work purposes, shall I install maverick or natty? | 09:28 |
| tdn | Appearently 10.10 uses the nouveau driver. This driver makes my laptop very hot. How do I fix this? | 09:28 |
| tdn | CuBe0wL, depends on what your work is. | 09:28 |
| CuBe0wL | I know natty is still in development, but I use testing as debian anyway, so I'm ok with some small instability | 09:28 |
| tdn | CuBe0wL, if stability is important I would say go with lucid. It is LTS. | 09:28 |
| tdn | CuBe0wL, debian testing is much much more stable than ubuntu. | 09:29 |
| CuBe0wL | tdn, medical research, mostly it'd be lots of reading of pdf and use of libreoffice | 09:29 |
| yofel | tdn: run jockey-kde and install the nvidia driver | 09:29 |
| CuBe0wL | also: can I somehow turn off sudo? dunno why, but I just used to "su" | 09:30 |
| tdn | yofel, which one? There are two? | 09:30 |
| yofel | CuBe0wL: while kubuntu natty runs rather fine on my notebook, there is not guarantee that it won't break horribly at any point, natty is more like debian unstable with a bit experimental | 09:30 |
| yofel | tdn: the one where it says recommended | 09:30 |
| CuBe0wL | yofel, so I should go with maverick, with 4.6 backports | 09:30 |
| tdn | yofel, ok. I will try that. | 09:31 |
| CuBe0wL | my reason for migration is KDE4 4.6 btw. | 09:31 |
| yofel | CuBe0wL: there is no root password by default for security reasons, while it's not recommended, you can use 'sudo passwd' to set a root password | 09:31 |
| yofel | CuBe0wL: maverick with 4.6 would probably be better | 09:31 |
| CuBe0wL | but there's a root user, right? | 09:31 |
| yofel | you can always upgrade to natty if you want from there | 09:31 |
| yofel | CuBe0wL: there is, but passwordless by default, thus disabled | 09:31 |
| CuBe0wL | so after all, if I set sudo passwd, I'll be allowed to log in as root as usual, right? | 09:32 |
| yofel | sure, su will work then | 09:32 |
| CuBe0wL | excellent (in Mr. Burns voice) | 09:32 |
| yofel | :D | 09:33 |
| CuBe0wL | ok, one final question: is kubuntu free from pulseaudio? I've only heard bad things about it, and when I tried it myself, I wasn't contented with it either (though the concept is nice) | 09:33 |
| yofel | no, maverick uses pulseaudio by default - you can deinstall it, phonon will use alsa then | 09:34 |
| CuBe0wL | purge pulseaudio-* the way it is then | 09:34 |
| CuBe0wL | aptitude purge hehe | 09:34 |
| CuBe0wL | the chill always goes down my spine when I type in that | 09:35 |
| CuBe0wL | sometimes that does some major wtf :D | 09:35 |
| yofel | that will require 'sudo apt-get install aptitude' first... (uses too much cd space... *sigh*) | 09:35 |
| CuBe0wL | no aptitude by default? odd, iirc that's the recommended now since years in debian | 09:36 |
| CuBe0wL | after dselect went obsolete | 09:36 |
| CuBe0wL | I think it's a shame that these are the most "up to date" packages that debian can offer of KDE4: http://qt-kde.debian.net/debian/ | 09:37 |
| yofel | in *debian* yes, but in ubuntu: we already have apt-get, no point in having 2 apps that do the same thing by default | 09:37 |
| CuBe0wL | yofel, aptitude is more robust, and has better dependency problem solving tools. but I see your point too. | 09:39 |
| CuBe0wL | anyway, thx for the infos, I think kubuntu will have a new user soon | 09:39 |
| yofel | they were talking about 4.6 in #debian-qt-kde a while go, but I didn't keep track of the discussion | 09:39 |
| yofel | sure, aptitude tfw! | 09:39 |
| yofel | ... | 09:40 |
| yofel | *ftw! | 09:40 |
| CuBe0wL | tfw is apropriate sometimes too ;) | 09:40 |
| CuBe0wL | or the other way around, wtf ;) | 09:40 |
| yofel | well, true | 09:41 |
| CuBe0wL | yofel, sure, but updating to 4.6 is crucial for me (it has strigy database save/restore) and I badly need that for my researches | 09:41 |
| CuBe0wL | I can't wait for debian for weeks :( | 09:41 |
| CuBe0wL | it's just soooo comfy that I can label and rate any articles I read | 09:42 |
| CuBe0wL | and with strigi database save/restore, I can move that to other computers | 09:42 |
| CuBe0wL | that means I can use my database on my desktop at work, save it to a pendrive, and easily restore that on my laptop | 09:42 |
| CuBe0wL | that way I can work at home too | 09:43 |
| yofel | hm, haven't tried to test that yet here | 09:43 |
| CuBe0wL | I'll see anyway ;) | 09:43 |
| CuBe0wL | ok, thx for the infos, bye now! | 09:44 |
| tdn | yofel, that seems to work. However, I have two problems: 1) I cannot get picture on my external monitor. 2) Bootup is not very pretty. (#2 is not that important, but #1 is a big problem) | 10:10 |
| yofel | tdn: try nvidia-settings from the menu (or alt+f2 nvidia-settings) and look if you can set it up there | 10:13 |
| tdn | yofel, I think I need disper to make it happen more automatically (keyboard shortcut). | 10:14 |
| tdn | yofel, but disper is not present for apt-get appearantly. | 10:14 |
| tdn | yofel, I can do it manually from nvidia-settings, however, it is impossible to do when the laptop is docked and closed. | 10:30 |
| tdn | yofel, why can't it auto detect if a monitor is connected? | 10:30 |
| yofel | no idea, I rarely use 2 monitors, sorry | 10:31 |
| tdn | Ok. | 10:35 |
| tdn | I have just reinstalled Kubuntu 10.10. I restored my entire homedir from backup, so this includes .kde. I expected that my settings would still work. However, keyboard shortcuts and other stuff does not work. How do I fix this? | 10:46 |
| tdn | For example shortcuts for Konsole does not work. | 10:46 |

| ChessTeach | how can I move files in there then, without using the command line | 15:43 |
| yofel | you could give the folder rwx permissions for everyone, if you're not too concerned about who can access it | 15:43 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: since it needs read/write permissions... best to add your self to the group that directory belongs to instead | 15:43 |
| Snowhog | ChessTeach: Are you running Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 15:43 |
| ChessTeach | ubuntu | 15:44 |
| Snowhog | !#ubuntu | ChessTeach | 15:44 |
| ubottu | ChessTeach: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Ubuntu comes with the GNOME interface. To install that from Kubuntu install the ubuntu-desktop package. | 15:44 |
| james147 | yofel: ^^ better to add yourself to the group and give that the permissions | 15:44 |
| yofel | or go james147 way, add yourself to the root group, and give the folder rwx permissions for the group | 15:44 |
| ChessTeach | Snowhog: how did that help? | 15:44 |
| yofel | james147: yep, probably better | 15:44 |
| james147 | (note the group "root" but the group of that folder) | 15:45 |
| james147 | not the ^^ | 15:45 |
| ChessTeach | how do i do that.... i am still learning the command line | 15:45 |
| yofel | right (it's owned by root:root here, that's why I assumed that) | 15:45 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: first do "ls -l /var | grep www" that should tell you the owner and group | 15:46 |
| james147 | yofel: if it? o , then "ls -l /var/www" and find out who owns the contents | 15:46 |
| ChessTeach | drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-01-29 17:06 www | 15:46 |
| james147 | yofel: its never a good idea to add yourself to the root group... better to change the group of the folder :p, | 15:47 |
| ChessTeach | root owns the contents | 15:47 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: but who owns the contents? "ls -l /var/www" | 15:47 |
| james147 | hmm | 15:47 |
| ChessTeach | root owns all the files | 15:47 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: what web server are you running? | 15:48 |
| ChessTeach | apache2 | 15:48 |
| yofel | james147: well, usually the root group doesn't have more permissions by default than r-x, but you are right anyway | 15:48 |
| Snowhog | ChessTeach: You can launch Nautilus 'as root' to do file management on root owned directories/files. From the console just type: gksudo nautilus | 15:48 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: hmm, i thourght apache had its own user/group for folders :p | 15:48 |
| ChessTeach | Snowhog: good idea | 15:49 |
| ChessTeach | james147: i don't know, it did all the work | 15:49 |
| yofel | james147: it's usually www-data, but only for files it creates itself | 15:50 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: o well, first create a group "cat /etc/group" will tell you what groups you already have | 15:50 |
| james147 | ^^ see if there is one like "www" or "www-data" | 15:50 |
| yofel | as long as the files are owned as root but are readable apache is happy | 15:50 |
| james147 | yofel: yeah, i assumed ubuntu set the folder premissions on /var/www, or at least thats what it did with me i think :S | 15:51 |
| yofel | didn't here, I think it only does that if the folder doesn't already exist | 15:52 |
| ChessTeach | james147: i already got it to work.... use nautilus | 15:53 |
| ChessTeach | *used | 15:53 |
| c2tarun | If i split yakuake screen in two halves, can anybody please tell me the keyboard shortcut for switching b/w these two halves | 15:56 |

| mime1111 | hello all. is there any way to safe my installed os with all files in a memory stick, and just run it with a simple plug? | 16:38 |
| vanguard | mime1111: There is the creator for a Ubuntu USB Stick right in the start menu | 16:39 |
| vanguard | mime1111: You can reserve some space there for your personal files as well. | 16:39 |
| mime1111 | thank you | 16:39 |
| vanguard | mime1111: The computer you run it on has to support USB booting though | 16:39 |
| mime1111 | yeah | 16:40 |
| vanguard | mime1111: "Startup Disk Creator" in "System" | 16:40 |
| mime1111 | thank you | 16:40 |
| mime1111 | cya | 16:40 |
| james147 | mime1111: you can copy the files to the stick (assuming it has enough space) edit /etc/fstab for the new location then install a boot loader... but thats not recomended, it will ware the disk out fairly quickly wiht all the read/writes an os needs to do... a better way is you create a livecd and install it to the stick (using what vanguard said) | 16:40 |

| morla_ | Hi, a friend has a strange issue: Firefox loads all data *extremely* slow, while other browsers are normally fast. What could be the reason for this? | 16:51 |
| rogerlays | with many adds? | 16:52 |
| vanguard | morla_: Add-Ons can slow it down, maybe you have some toolsbars or so? Otherwise, if you have many, many tabs open, FF slows down. Chromium has more stamina in that. | 16:53 |
| morla_ | He doesnt't use add-ons, its bog-standard from kubuntu's apt sources. Also just one tab. | 16:54 |
| vanguard | morla_: That is kinda stange. You could check out a system monitor to see how much power Firefox draws from the system | 16:55 |
| vanguard | It it takes like 100% of the CPU and Gigs of RAM all the time, something is way off. | 16:55 |
| morla_ | It's not a firefox issue I think, rendering speed is not the problem; It's really a dog slow network connection (like waiting for an image to load takes ages). But other browsers using the same network are fast | 16:55 |
| morla_ | I tried a clean profile but no luck | 16:56 |
| morla_ | i havent looked at a system monitor yet.. good idea, maybe it's really a cpu thing, but I dont believe it, becausae scrolling and everything is fast | 16:57 |
| vanguard | morla_: So the page rendering is slow? | 16:59 |
| Peace- | :) | 17:02 |
| morla_ | vanguard: I don't think it's the rendering, it's the data loading | 17:04 |
| ArunC | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. I have just installed kubuntu-desktop to have a feel of kde 4.6. I got KDM initially. After login, it shows me the gnome-panel and everything is gnome. | 17:05 |
| morla_ | vanguard: like, page skeleton shows up and then 10 minutes later the images are loaded | 17:05 |
| vanguard | morla_: what happens when you download a file? | 17:05 |
| ArunC | Do I need to do anything else apart from installing and choosing KDM as the login manager? | 17:05 |
| vanguard | ArunC: You habe to select KDE as the session in the login screen | 17:05 |
| vanguard | morla_: The page skeleton is not really a lot of data, just a couple KiB, the Pics are several hundred KiB. I have no idea at the moment. | 17:06 |
| morla_ | vanguard: downwload is slow... IIRC a high downstream speed is displayed, but it's slow non the less | 17:06 |
| vanguard | morla_: It just does not make too much sense to me at the moment why it should load slow. You don't have any proxy enabled, right? | 17:07 |
| ArunC | vanguard: Administration->Login Screen->Unlock doesn't work. | 17:07 |
| ArunC | No idea why. | 17:07 |
| vanguard | ArunC: When you are logging in after you start the computer, you can select KDE there | 17:08 |
| morla_ | vanguard: jep, thats why i think somwthing is wrong with the network. I'm clueless either. There is no proxy, just a normal router. All apps use the same network connection.... it makes no sense :( | 17:08 |
| vanguard | ArunC: has nothing to do with the adminstration panel | 17:08 |
| ArunC | OK. Let me try that. Thanks. | 17:08 |
| vanguard | morla_: Hmm, do the images download slowly as well, or does it just take a lot of time until they begin to load? | 17:09 |
| morla_ | vanguard: I think they load slow. Not at that computer at the moment. I wonder if it could be a malware thing? Like a Firefox malware which makes everything go through a secret proxy? | 17:11 |
| ezra-s | hello | 17:11 |
| vanguard | morla_: It is not impossible, but I think that there should be a better explanation. | 17:13 |
| vanguard | ezra-s: Hi :) | 17:13 |
| morla_ | vanguard: yes it sounds unlikely since the problem doesnt go awayy when using a new profile. Sigh. I'll feed google a bit more to see what I find. Thanks for your help :) | 17:15 |
| vanguard | morla_: Maybe you can ask that question in a board like ubuntuusers or ubuntuforums | 17:17 |
| ArunC | vanguard: I did a reboot and I chose KDE as the session. I was dropped into console (Ctr Alt F1). Had to do startx to get this X session. | 17:20 |
| morla_ | vanguard: I got it! Had to disable IPv6 :)) | 17:21 |

| GeekMan | the mail sever | 17:34 |
| Snowhog | GeekMan: Does your college have a website for student use that has help on using Outlook Webmail? | 17:35 |
| james147 | GeekMan: probally the network domain your college belongs to (which you will need to ask them for) | 17:36 |
| GeekMan | ill check im planning to go there but they send a letter telling you you have a collage email and all and this is the user name password adn to change your password asap so i try and it asks for the users domain | 17:36 |
| GeekMan | they say if you need help to email the help email | 17:37 |

| yofel | there is a netinstall disk *somewhere*, would need to look for it | 18:52 |
| yofel | for an expert install use the alternate image, that uses the debian installed (no idea what the netinstall image uses) | 18:52 |

| tdn | How do I install KDE 4.6 in Kubuntu 10.10? | 19:44 |
| james147 | tdn: see the topic | 19:45 |
| tdn | james147, ok. Thanks. | 19:46 |
| tdn | james147, it does not say how to add ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports | 19:48 |
| james147 | tdn: yes it does :) in the "Software repo... guide" link | 19:49 |
| sithlord48 | tdn use the command : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports or enable it in the software center | 19:49 |
| tdn | sithlord48, thanks. | 19:49 |
| sithlord48 | np. | 19:49 |
| tdn | I have added the repos. Run apt-get update. Now when I run aptitude dist-upgrade, I get a lot of dependency conflicts. Output from aptitude: http://paste.adora.dk/P1935.html What to do? Should I just select Y? | 19:52 |
| Snowhog | tdn: What version of KDE are you using now? | 19:57 |
| tdn | Did any of you upgrade to KDE 4.6? What do you think of it? Is it stable? | 19:57 |
| yofel | tdn: that looks fine, remove those | 19:57 |
| tdn | Snowhog, 4.5.1, default with kubuntu 10.10. | 19:57 |
| tdn | yofel, thanks. | 19:57 |

| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 19:59 |
| tdn | yofel, do you use 4.6? | 20:01 |
| yofel | yes, in natty | 20:01 |
| Snowhog | tdn: Upgraded to 4.6 yesterday, here on Maverick. | 20:02 |
| carael | hi | 20:04 |
| carael | so ;any ppl in there | 20:04 |
| tdn | Snowhog, ok. So what do you think of it? | 20:06 |
| mmauder | is anybody else having trouble connecting to icq using kopete 1.0.80? | 20:07 |
| tdn | Snowhog, has it become faster, prettier, more stable, etc.? | 20:07 |
| Snowhog | tdn: I've noticed some (very minor) 'niggles', but nothing I would/am concerned about. | 20:08 |
| tdn | After installing Kubuntu 10.10 my NFS mounts does not work anymore. I just get "mount.nfs: Connection timed out" when trying to mount them. How do I fix this? | 20:08 |
| tdn | Snowhog, ok. | 20:08 |
| rob0917 | Does kubuntu have it's own forums or do I need to use ubuntu's ? | 20:09 |
| Snowhog | tdn: I'd say, that for me, on my laptop, I'd rate 4.6.00 'just a tad' below 4.5.6. But 4.5.6 was mature, and 4.6.00 is recently released. It will improve with time like fine wine and good cheese. :) | 20:10 |
| Snowhog | rob0917: Go to www.kubuntuforums.net | 20:11 |
| rob0917 | Snowhog: thanks | 20:13 |
| Snowhog | tdn: NFS. Check that you still have nfs-common installed. | 20:16 |
| ChessTeach | I am using Ubuntu, and when I resize a window I noticed that the area that my mouse has to drag it is very small. Is there a way to lower the needed accuracy? I hope this makes sense | 20:28 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: if you using ubuntu then ask in #ubuntu | 20:29 |
| ChessTeach | :-) ok | 20:29 |
| ChessTeach | i thought they combined the two distros into this channel | 20:30 |
| james147 | ChessTeach: ^^ if anything they would combine to #ubuntu | 20:30 |
| james147 | though that isent going to happen anytime soon | 20:30 |

| St0n3-C0l | I am not able to see Klipper in Taskbar...even though it's running... | 20:40 |
| St0n3-C0l | Any help ? | 20:42 |
| james147 | St0n3-C0l: how do you know its running? | 20:48 |
| St0n3-C0l | james147: I ran it in Konsole to check if there are any errors...or not | 20:51 |
| St0n3-C0l | But it's saying that it's already running. | 20:51 |
| james147 | St0n3-C0l: try killing it and restarting it | 20:52 |
| St0n3-C0l | yea works | 20:53 |
| platius | my 1st try at using kde. What are the desk protector looking windows called and how do you restore one to the desktop? | 20:53 |
| St0n3-C0l | Thanks :) | 20:53 |
| james147 | platius: not sure what you mean by that | 20:55 |
| platius | when I installed kde 4.6 there was a n empty transparent window that a panel appeared on the righside of the window with a wrench, etc. I deleted it and would like to restore it. | 20:57 |
| platius | Plasma window? | 20:58 |
| Snowhog | platius: That's the Folder View widget. | 20:58 |
| james147 | platius: the folder view widget? right click the desktop > add widgets > find and drag it to the desktop | 20:59 |
| james147 | platius: make sure you unlock the widgets first | 20:59 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks , I've forgotten the method to adjust the MENU and TOOLBAR fonts in kate as root ..for some reason it's not taking the settings set in system settings/application appearance | 20:59 |
| platius | james147; Thank you | 21:00 |
| Snowhog | BluesKaj: Have you logged out/in after the changes? | 21:00 |
| james147 | BluesKaj: kdesudo systemsettings << anything editied there will be saved and used by root | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | yes, Snowhog | 21:01 |
| james147 | Snowhog: that 'shouldnt' be needed | 21:01 |
| BluesKaj | ahh, that's it james147 , now I recall ...memory is not up par lately | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | ok done , that worked , thx james147 :) | 21:06 |
| AciD | hi | 21:18 |
| === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 | ||
| AciD | since I upgraded to version 4.6, my top taskbar (which is set to auto hide) won't hide anymore. Is there any workaround ? What's the taskbar process name so I can reload it (the old "dcop kicker kicker restart" trick is deprecated it seems) | 21:22 |
| james147 | AciD: the panels are now part of plasma, (as is the rest of the desktop) | 21:23 |
| james147 | AciD: "kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 1 && plasma-desktop" will restart it | 21:24 |
| AciD | thx | 21:24 |
| AciD | I was googling for that :) | 21:24 |
| james147 | AciD: if that dosent help create a new user and see if they have the same problem | 21:24 |
| tdn | Snowhog, nfs-common is already the newest version. | 21:24 |
| tdn | Snowhog, but I'll give you that it seems that nfs-common is not installed. | 21:25 |
| AciD | hm, that made plasma-desktop crash | 21:25 |
| james147 | AciD: if it dosent comback then jsut relaunch it | 21:26 |
| Snowhog | tdn: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nfs-common | 21:26 |
| AciD | james147: that corrected the problem, thank you again ! | 21:26 |
| tdn | Snowhog, I will do that. I noticed that /etc/init.d/nfs-common does not exist. Does it on your system? | 21:26 |
| tdn | Snowhog, reinstalled nfs-common. Still the same. Mount times out. | 21:26 |
| user567 | hi | 21:28 |
| Snowhog | tdn: I don't have any nfs devices. | 21:29 |
| tdn | Snowhog, ok. | 21:29 |
| Snowhog | tdn: Two things to try. In a console, type: sudo mount -a If that doesn't do it, then reboot and see. | 21:30 |
| tdn | Snowhog, any idea how I can debug this? | 21:30 |
| tdn | Snowhog, just did. Did not help. | 21:31 |
| Snowhog | tdn: How are the nfs devices connected to your PC? | 21:31 |
| tdn | Snowhog, ethernet | 21:31 |
| tdn | Snowhog, nothing has been changed on the server. | 21:31 |
| Snowhog | Are they 'seen' in Dolphin? | 21:32 |
| tdn | Snowhog, what do you mean? | 21:32 |
| Snowhog | tdn: If you launch Dolphin, are they listed in Places? | 21:32 |
| tdn | Snowhog, oh. Yeah. They are in Places. I normally just disable Places and Filters. | 21:32 |
| * BluesKaj vows to stay away from 11.04 til it's officially released ...got my system flumoxed by the new X 1.10 stack , it took out too many essential xorg files , and made the system unbootable | 21:32 | |
| tdn | Snowhog, however, nothing happens when I click them in dolphin. | 21:33 |
| Snowhog | tdn: Can you right-click on them and look at Properies? | 21:34 |
| Snowhog | *Properties | 21:34 |
| tdn | Snowhog, nope. Only "add new entry" or "hide" | 21:34 |
| _dreamy | why is my sound and image quality impressivly better, in ubuntu (or kubuntu) 10.10 comparing to debian 5.0? anyone helping ? | 21:37 |
| james147 | _dreamy: what version of kde does it have? | 21:38 |
| tdn | _dreamy, well, it is much newer.. Maybe something has been optimized? | 21:38 |
| _dreamy | well.. its got kde 4 .. | 21:38 |
| james147 | 4.what? | 21:39 |
| tdn | _dreamy, there is a huge difference between e.g. 4.0 and 4.6. | 21:39 |
| _dreamy | kde 4-- something.. the standard that somes with kubuntu 10.10 | 21:39 |
| tdn | _dreamy, the points are important. Everything before 4.3 sucked ass. | 21:39 |
| james147 | _dreamy: can you check... any kde app > help > about kde | 21:39 |
| _dreamy | but those things are related to the drivers :S ? | 21:39 |
| Snowhog | tdn: Are you familiar with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 21:40 |
| tdn | Snowhog, no. Will take a read. | 21:40 |
| tdn | Snowhog, however, I have used NFS for ~10 years. | 21:41 |
| Snowhog | tdn: Well, you know what they say: 'Familiarity breeds complacency.' ;) | 21:41 |
| _dreamy | tdn: that what i was tryng to guess.. it could have new OSS drivers? | 21:42 |
| _dreamy | ops | 21:42 |
| _dreamy | OSS - open source | 21:42 |
| _dreamy | i wish i could write a command in the terminal that could give me driver versions | 21:42 |
| * james147 waits for an answer... | 21:42 | |
| yofel | _dreamy: graphics drivers? what card? | 21:45 |
| _dreamy | james147: ill do that, when i change to ubuntu.. if its not the latest version .. maybe i could install the very latest one | 21:45 |
| _dreamy | yofel: radeon 7000 | 21:45 |
| _dreamy | or m6 ly | 21:46 |
| _dreamy | or 7000 le | 21:46 |
| _dreamy | or rv100 | 21:46 |
| yofel | as for KDE - maverick has 4.5.1 by default, I don't know what lenny has | 21:46 |
| james147 | yofel: ^^ from what i can see its still on 3.5 :P | 21:46 |
| yofel | I would think so too | 21:47 |
| yofel | squeeze will ship with 4.4 finally | 21:47 |
| james147 | so i am going to answer the question with: Because debian is slow and outdated | 21:47 |
| _dreamy | debian 5.0.8 has wich kde? | 21:48 |
| james147 | ^^ debian stable at least | 21:48 |
| james147 | _dreamy: we dont know.. your using it tell us | 21:48 |
| _dreamy | i got 5.0 | 21:48 |
| _dreamy | has an old kde | 21:48 |
| Snowhog | _dreamy: That's the version of Debian. Open any application and then click on Help > About KDE | 21:49 |
| yofel | konsole shows as " konsole | 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6+lenny1 | lenny |" | 21:49 |
| yofel | so 3.5 | 21:49 |
| james147 | yeah, so the reason your getting better preformance with ubuntu is because debian stable is very very outdated | 21:49 |
| tdn | Snowhog, read the page. Checked my settings. Looked ok. Still does not work. | 21:49 |
| _dreamy | Snowhog: i cant , on my debian at the moment i got gnome, but when i had is installed before, it was an old kde 3-- something | 21:50 |
| _dreamy | on 5.0, i dunno about 5.0.8 | 21:50 |
