[02:22] t-rask: hmm? do you initiate any copies? [02:22] Daskreech: no, I basically don't have anything going on right now. [02:23] It happened earlier, so I rebooted to see if it was something like that that got locked up, but it's doing it again after I rebooted. [02:23] and what happens? You get what looks like a finished transfer? [02:23] I can post a screenshot if you like. [02:23] please [02:23] One moment. [02:24] http://ompldr.org/vNzgxeg/snapshot1.png sorry, it's full-size [02:25] The number of them keeps jumping around (I assume some clear after a set amount of time, but they just keep popping up) [02:27] hello, im having a very weird bug running 10.10 and kde 4.6: sometimes i wont be able to click things, and if i right click that same point, i would get the context menu of a different application, like it it was running on top of the current one, but invisible. Sometimes switching desktops and ant-tabbing fixes it for a few clicks, but it always comes back to the same spot. It was a challenge to log in here just by using the [02:27] keyboard and stuff... anybody have any ideas? Thank you! [02:28] Daskreech: plasma just crashed and after it restarted itself it hasn't done it yet.. [02:29] I also disabled the Amarok system notifications, to see if that was causing the issue. [02:29] t-rask: you could try to disable file transfer notifications on the "notification settings" and see if the regular window that will pop up gives more info of what program is creating those [02:29] t-rask: the number on the notification area? [02:30] tog000: Which window manager? [02:30] Darskreech: kwin [02:32] Daskreech: i mispelled your nick, im using kwin [02:33] Can anyone point me to a guide for fixing GRUB from within a USB install of Kubuntu?

'Cause I don't really have any way to get to a live CD.... [02:36] tog000: I remember having a similar issue before.. Sadly, I don't remember how I resolved it >_< [02:36] sidek: yes, USB will do [02:37] t-rask: too bad... its driving me nuts, and i dont even know how to reproduce it [02:37] t-rask: it just happens out of the blue...! [02:37] Daskreech: it just randomly started happening again, the notification area >_< [02:38] t-rask: i was having the same problem you had in the notification area haha XD i THINK it was amaroks last upgrade. after reboot it all worked normally [02:38] tog000: I'm with t-rask I remember this happening like 5 releases ago but I dont remember what the fix was [02:38] sidek: Yes [02:38] tog000: have you fully rebooted? [02:38] tog000: Ask in #kwin ? [02:38] t-rask: yes, rebooted many times, and everything is OK for a while until it happens [02:38] Daskreech: i'll head over there next, thanks [02:39] I only remember having the issue once, just the other day I when I fully installed Kubuntu 10.10. Not sure what caused it but it hasn't happened since. [02:39] how do i add repositiores so i can get a precompiled package for kdeveloper [02:40] t-rask: i remember having that same problem that you describe, i found out it was creating tons of empty files in /tmp/kde-[username]/plasma-desktop******* [02:40] t-rask: but after a few reboots it was gone [02:40] tog000: whoofta, yeah, that folder is bursting! [02:40] Hopefully after a few it will be gone for me too. Do you still use Amarok for music playing? [02:41] t-rask: it started happening about an amarok upgrade sometime yesterday i think [02:41] t-rask: im using it right now without any problem [02:41] Hm, alright, I'll reboot and hope for the best, thanks!

I know where it is [03:09] k3b does not [03:09] it is a bug that does not seem ot be fixed in kubuntu yet [03:10] The fix is to add this line to the normalize detection, to force it to look for [03:10] normalize and not normalize-audio: [03:10] setVersionIdentifier( QLatin1String( "normalize" ) ); [03:10] darthanubis: why? simple, you could symlink the one you have to the location where k3b expects it to be [03:10] but I can't find a bug report in kubuntu for it [03:10] k3b expects it to be where it is [03:10] lol [03:11] huh [03:11] then fill a report! [03:11] and I would not have to symlink it when I can tell k3b where to look for it from within k3b [03:11] kubuntu is supposed to follow upstream [03:11] there already is a bug report upstream [03:12] anyone know about this or have come across this problem?

[03:18] se3n: well you messed that up [03:18] don't know how you upgraded all the way to natty by just adding the kubuntu-backport or beta ppa [03:18] yea i think so... [03:18] think [03:18] you need to know first [03:19] when i want to close some application the application crash seconds after close [03:19] and ask me to report bug [03:19] that happen with almost every app [03:20] i can't restart correctly [03:20] :D [03:23] its says "Signal: Segmentation fault (11)" after close allmost every app... and when i want to reboot the half of apps can't quit and the only way i can restart is to swithc to other init and type "reboot" [03:24] se3n: ive done that before too and its very hard if not impossible to rollback the version after a dist-upgrade... maybe there is a way, i dont know. I just backed up /home and reinstalled [03:26] i though this is a "ppa" if something get wrong i can still purge it but the kde 4.6 installation freeze at the half of packeges and when i look at the softwere source's they were allready of natty.... all of them, also the kde 4.6 ppa i added was gone [03:27] so there is no way to back :D [03:28] i still have no serios problems except this with quiting apps [03:28] i just wanted to ask is there someone with similar problem [03:28] Signal: Segmentation fault (11) [03:37] must say I'm lovin ubuntu [03:42] se3n: ask in #kubuntu-devel [03:42] but I think that you are on the wrong repo [03:43] pressing the kmix icon takes seconds before the acutal interface appears [03:43] where is all this lag coming from? [03:44] se3n: I have 4.6 and am NOT running natty [03:44] valorie strange right... [03:45] I've run an alpha before, however [03:45] i don't know what happen [03:45] its just happen :D [03:45] and though it was a bit unstable, it generally worked [03:45] upgrade and dist-upgrade are different [03:46] you might read up on natty testing, and make lemonade out of your lemon [03:46] :-) [03:46] :D [03:46] start filing bugs, and working with the devels [03:46] all very nice people [03:46] allways see a good side [03:46] i thought that too [03:46] that's why I ran the alpha -- to do just that [03:47] i have to reg in kubuntu bugs and reporting [03:47] helps you see each crash in a bit different light [03:47] :-) [03:47] true, but only once [03:47] and about my proble i whink its only happen when i'm enable kwin effects [03:47] and b.k.o isn't SO bad once you get used to it [03:47] launchpad is friendly too, when it's working [03:48] i will keep it disabled for now [03:48] ok, but the kwin people want bugs filed also [03:48] and plasma people [03:48] but everythink its laggu :D [03:48] my video is on board....

I am on Kubuntu 10.10 running kde 4.5.5, of recent I have started to experience some plasma-desktop freeze when I log on to my system. The whole desktop is completely frozen, sometimes for as long as 5 min sometimes forever. [07:27] the disturbing part of this is that when this happens, restarting kdm or even restarting the whole pc does not seem to help at all as the same thing happens again. [07:27] I would check the memory or at least reseat it [07:29] I first thought it might have something to do with network manager plasmoid because I experienced it alot when my system is not connected or close to a wireless / ethernet port. hence I removed the network manager plasmoid and replaced it with the gnome network manager, that seems to work a bit, but this morning when I restarted the system, it was frozen again. I could launch krunner but every other thing is completely unresponsive [07:29] gr8m8, I did that the memory and cpu are fine [07:29] k [07:31] bigbrovar: any recent updates like graphic drivers? [07:32] gr8m8, nope, not that I can remember. The laptop uses Intel (Arrandale chipset) which comes with core i5, works pretty much out of the box [07:33] it was a guess anyway... [07:33] The saddest part of all this is how this almost got me in trouble at work, I was suppose to take some notes for a meeting and do a presentation when the problem started. [07:34] I had to reboot the system like 5 times and still it wont work, in the end I could not handle my presentation :( [07:34] bigbrovar: have you tried booting onto a LiveCD or LiveUSB? [07:34] just to see if it's software related? [07:35] this morning again I was suppose to meet my girl friend for a chat (long distance relationship) and when I started the pc it just froze. I mean I restart kdm restarted the whole system nothing [07:35] I would install another window manger, something light like fluxbox or openbox and check if it has the issue - plus it will be there as a backup [07:35] valorie, well the whole problem goes away for a while if I remove the plasma configs .kde/share.config [07:35] which is more of less reset plasma [07:36] but the always come back after a while [07:36] its very hard to debug and totally random [07:36] that sucks [07:36] have you checked with #plasma ? [07:36] randomness in my experience is mostly hardware related [07:36] gr8m8, I wish i had the luxury to play around [07:37] right, what came to mind was running badblocks or something [07:37] to be sure you don't have a failing bit of your HD [07:37] gr8m8, well I have been running the laptop on Kubuntu now since lucid and even with 10.10 this issue started or recent really [07:38] valorie, and the badblocks goes away when I remove plasma configs ? [07:39] let me do some googling to see if this is an isolated issue. [07:39] well, I've been using computers for a loooong time [07:39] bigbrovar: it's not like hardware gives a warning it is going to play up - lines of code don't change so my first reaction is some part of your hardware is failing [07:39] and when you get a HD starting to fail, all kinds of weird things happen [07:39] yep === root is now known as Guest16689 === Guest16689 is now known as faLUCE [07:44] gr8m8, valorie while I seriously doubt its a hardware problem (being a new laptop and all) I am not ruling anything out. I will do some further investigation of the issue and get back to you guys. thanks very much [07:45] np :-) [07:45] just for the record, no one running Kubuntu 10.10 and kde 4.5.5 (who is also using the plasma-widget-menubar) and smoothtask widget is experiencing this issue? [07:45] I hope you find the answer [07:45] because that sounds like it truly sucks [07:45] I've never heard of smoothtask [07:45] hi i need help [07:46] !help [07:46] 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. :-) [07:46] i have installed pcbsd on my hard disk (one which was free, partition) now when i reboot i dont see it there [07:46] i cant see it where to select it from [07:46]
