[00:00] <Snowhog> Merlin__: Open a console and type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kpackagekit

[00:07] <Snowhog> Merlin__: Do you have Kubuntu installed on your PC, or are you running it from a LIveCD?
[00:07] <Merlin__> i have it installed running it now
[00:09] <Snowhog> Merlin__: Then you still have the CD as an active repository. Here's how you fix that. Press Alt+F2 and type: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list and press enter. Type your password when prompted. Kate will open with the sources.list file 'as root' for editing. Comment (put a # ) in front of the line that contains the cd-rom as a repository. Save and close.
[00:16] <Merlin__> ok got tghat done ran it again do i do anything else ?
[00:18] <Snowhog> Merlin__: If you ran the commands I cited earlier, then KPackageKit is installed. It will be in the K Menu under System, or you can launch it by pressing Alt+F2 and typing: kpackagekit
[00:21] <Merlin__> i ran the commands its still not there at the end it ended whit hthe package hl1430lpr needs to be  reinstalled but it can not find an archive for it
[00:26] <Snowhog> Merlin__: Run this in a console: sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:29] <Merlin__> ok done that how do i get rid of that line thats telling me to reinstall that hl1430lpr package
[00:31] <Merlin__> i have done all that it is still not installed
[00:41] <Merlin__> snowhog i ran all those commands and it is still not showing installed
[00:55] <ebeyer> hi
[00:56] <ebeyer> Long-time ubuntu user trying kubuntu for the first time.. trying to get 4.6 to install.  I think I set up the backport repository correctly but I can't get the system to update, or really to acknowledge that there's anything new to update.
[00:57] <ebeyer> I tried following the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[00:57] <ebeyer> By the way, why are the fonts in my windows so huge?  It's like the large print books.  Was that a design choice or am I doing something wrong?
[01:00] <ebeyer> Can anyone here me?  I see myself typing but no other communication.
[01:00] <ebeyer> *hear
[01:02] <lemonmi> 有人用kde吗
[01:02] <ebeyer> Is there anyone here who can help me?
[01:02] <yofel> ebeyer: sorry, we're not always at the keyboard all the time, let's see..
[01:03] <ebeyer> I hope I didn't sound frustrated.  It's my first time using this client and I wondered if I set something wrong.
[01:03] <yofel> ebeyer: what exactly did you add and how?
[01:04] <yofel> as for the fonts, not sure, check what's used in system settings -> application appearance -> fonts for size and DPI
[01:04] <ebeyer> I selected the deb http://ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports/ maverick
[01:04] <yofel> *that* is wrong
[01:05] <yofel> easiest way would be to use 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports'
[01:05] <yofel> the full line would be 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu maverick main'
[01:06] <ebeyer> OK.  Trying.
[01:07] <ebeyer> "The package system could not be initialized..."  Trying your first suggestion.
[01:07] <yofel> and you should disable the wrong line
[01:07] <ebeyer> OK.  Doing that.
[01:09] <ebeyer> "The package system could not be initialized, your configuration may be broken".. trying your first suggestion.
[01:09] <ebeyer> By the way, why are the default fonts in KDE so big?  Am I doing something wrong?
[01:10] <yofel> check in system settings as I said
[01:10] <yofel> they don't feel huge here
[01:10] <xeni> hello
[01:10] <ebeyer> Sorry.  Mine are running into the edges of windows.
[01:12] <ebeyer> OK.  Your first suggestion worked just fine.  Now how do I get KDE to update everything and install 4.6?
[01:12] <yofel> open kpackagekit, go to software updates, check for updates now
[01:13] <yofel> check for new updates rather
[01:13] <ebeyer>  So it does.  Thanks!
[01:14] <ebeyer> 8 packages to remove, 30 to install.  Sound right?
[01:15] <yofel> depends on which ones, but that sounds about right (how many to update?)
[01:15] <ebeyer> 172
[01:15] <ebeyer> *182
[01:15] <yofel> should be right
[01:15] <ebeyer> Thanks.  I'm liking the look of the windows.  I just need to tame my fonts and I think I'll be good.
[01:16] <yofel> as I said: look under System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Fonts. Check the size and the DPI setting
[01:16] <ebeyer> Is it hard to turn on the eye candy once 4.6 is set up?
[01:16] <ebeyer> I will do that, thanks.
[01:16] <Merlin__> snowhog thanks for the help it was that printer package error that would not let me install anything
[01:17] <yofel> if you mean the desktop effects they should be on by default as long as your graphics driver supports them
[01:17] <Snowhog> Merlin__: So you resolved it?
[01:17] <yofel> check the entry in system settings about them
[01:17] <ebeyer> I got compiz running on the gnome side no problem, so I'm guessing I'll be good.
[01:20] <ebeyer> That's clever, pibarnas.
[01:20] <yofel> heh
[01:23] <ebeyer> Where's a good place for suggestions on "eye candy" for kde?
[01:24] <Snowhog> ebeyer: http://forum.kde.org/
[01:24] <ebeyer> Thanks, snowhog.
[01:25] <ebeyer> Thanks, all.  Gonna log now.
[01:25] <ebeyer> Take care.
[01:53] <openstandards> is it possible to recreate the kwin effects with compiz
[01:53] <openstandards> I've noticed kwin kills my cpu usage with conky
[01:53] <openstandards> up to 50% usage when just dragging around a window...
[02:07] <oduinn> can someone help me with the PlaneShift game?
[02:08] <Fanfare> oduinn: whats the prob?
[02:08] <oduinn> i have installed the bin file properly - everything installs to /home/user/ without a hitch...problem is when i click on the desktop icon to launch it seems to launch (see a window in the task bar and the bouncy icon next to the mouse) but alas it blips out so to say
[02:08] <oduinn> both disappear
[02:09] <oduinn> and nothing else happens (it's as if i never clicked on it in the first place)
[02:09] <oduinn> i have every appropriate libc6 installed as well
[02:09] <oduinn> and i am running kubuntu on a thinkpad r52
[02:10] <oduinn> it's driving me crazy
[02:10] <Fanfare> oduinn: did u install in /opt (systemwide) or localy? did u check permissions User should be in group games.
[02:11] <Fanfare> oduinn: and does your system have cappable video card? OpenGL?
[02:11] <oduinn> permissions is set to executable..and i install system wide - when i install in /opt  (with sudo) it installs but i get no icon on desktop (even though the name appears where the icon should be) and KDEinit error cannot access  it
[02:12] <oduinn> seems i get much farther when installing (not as root) in home/user
[02:12] <Fanfare> oduinn: no icon means your user is most probably not in games group...
[02:12] <oduinn> okay so er...how do i fix that
[02:13] <oduinn> because i tried installing it as root to /user/games/ as well
[02:13] <Fanfare> oduinn: use kuser to add yourself to group games
[02:13] <oduinn> same weird problem with KDEinit
[02:13] <oduinn> hmmm, would that be in terminal or in the PS setup?
[02:14] <Fanfare> kuser is a kde tool
[02:14] <Corin> Wow.
[02:14] <Fanfare> try kuser in terminal and it gives instrucktions to install if not installed
[02:14] <Corin> I'm surprised this channel's so large.
[02:14] <Fanfare> Corin: depends on screen resolution :-)
[02:15] <Corin> Let me rephrase.
[02:15] <Corin> I'm surprised this channel has so many users accessing it at this particular point in time.
[02:15] <oduinn> alright one moment please
[02:16] <Fanfare> Q@all: someone knows a good (kde)app for IPTV?
[02:19] <oduinn> alright i just opened Kuser and open user/games
[02:19] <oduinn> under user there is a number 5
[02:19] <oduinn> and account disabled is checked
[02:20] <oduinn> should i go to the group tab?
[02:21] <oduinn> not sure how to do this and i do not want to accidentally change something that would adversely affect my system
[02:22] <Fanfare> edit your user (mostly id 1000)
[02:22] <oduinn> alright i just opened Kuser and open user/games
[02:22] <oduinn> under user there is a number 5
[02:22] <oduinn> and account disabled is checked
[02:22] <oduinn> should i go to the group tab?
[02:22] <oduinn> not sure how to do this and i do not want to accidentally change something that would adversely affect my system
[02:22] <FloodBotK3> oduinn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:22] <Fanfare> Tab Groups check games
[02:22] <Corin> Does anyone know where the conf file for my touchpad would be in 10.10?
[02:23] <oduinn> sorry
[02:24] <Corin> Don't say etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:24] <Corin> Not there.
[02:26] <oduinn> alright so what do i do now
[02:26] <Fanfare> oduinn: user edited? Added group games to your user?
[02:27] <Fanfare> well, then u need tu flush your user privs. i dont know a quick way for that (anyone?) so reboot your machine...
[02:29] <oduinn> um...it isn't let me edit anything in kuser
[02:29] <Fanfare> kuser should ask password on startup to get root privs
[02:31] <oduinn> okay so i check "games" under "groups" tab for user
[02:32] <oduinn> i sudo kuser in terminal
[02:32] <oduinn> worked fine
[02:32] <oduinn> now do i just reboot and try launching the game
[02:33] <Fanfare> yes, reboot and see if u get game icons of systemwide install
[02:33] <oduinn> and that's only after i have installed in root/opt
[02:34] <oduinn> because if that's the case I will need to reinstall in /opt first
[02:35] <Fanfare> well, u can install later... after reboot check in terminal win "id" if group games shows up...
[02:37] <oduinn> alright
[02:37] <oduinn> brb
[02:43] <oduinn> alright so the exec isn't checked under permissions afterall
[02:43] <oduinn> and it says i don't have permissions to do it when i try
[02:44] <Fanfare> oduinn: which exec?
[02:44] <Fanfare> did u "id" in terminal?
[02:45] <oduinn> arg - no...hold on will do it
[02:45] <oduinn> ok what am i looking for after i type id
[02:46] <Fanfare> check installed files/folders of PS with ls -l /opt/ should have <user>:games
[02:46] <Fanfare> in id there should be group games listed
[02:47] <Corin> Does using Kubuntu increase my chances of getting laid?
[02:49] <oduinn> no it says 9 root games
[02:49] <Fanfare> oduinn: thats ok too
[02:49] <oduinn> ok so now what
[02:50] <Fanfare> go to /opt/PlaneShift
[02:51] <oduinn> alright i am there
[02:51] <Fanfare> type ./pslaunch
[02:53] <Fanfare> Corin: why do u think u could be laid by installing kubuntu?
[02:54] <Corin> Well... it works better than Windows, thus saving me the time I waste for it to stop sucking. :P
[02:54] <oduinn> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[02:54] <FloodBotK3> oduinn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:55] <Fanfare> oduinn: which video card do u have?
[02:55] <Corin> That bot intrigues me.
[02:55] <Guest59191> hi anyone lnows if nepomuk is able to uninstall?
[02:55] <oduinn> brb
[02:56] <Corin> It so sets the channel mode to +z only when a user is temp-quieted?
[02:56] <Guest59191> i mean isn't critical porcess?
[03:04] <Fanfare> Corin: when saving time through using kubuntu don't show u saved time by relaxing or playing games...
[03:05] <Corin> Hrm?
[03:05] <Corin> What do you mean, Fanfare?
 Well... it works better than Windows, thus saving me the time I waste for it to stop sucking. :P
[03:06] <Fanfare> if that was your concern for beeing laid...
[03:06] <Corin> lol
[03:06] <Corin> Oh.
[03:06] <Corin> It wasn't a serious comment.
[03:06] <Fanfare> :-) thought so...
[03:07] <Fanfare> so what are the most effective ways to save time with kubuntu?
[03:07] <oduinn> um how do i check what my video card is
[03:08] <Fanfare> use kinfocenter or try running glxgears
[03:08] <Fanfare> or glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[03:14] <oduinn> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[03:14] <oduinn> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[03:17] <Fanfare> or glxinfo | grep vendor
[03:17] <Corin> Does anyone know of a good partition manager?
[03:20] <iulian_> kde partition manager
[03:21] <oduinn> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[03:21] <oduinn> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[03:23] <Fanfare> hm, oduinn lspci
[03:25] <oduinn> Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
[03:29] <Fanfare> hm, intel 915 seems not beeing able to do opengl then...
[03:30] <oduinn> it supports opelGL but not anything above openGL 2.0
[03:35] <Corin> Thanks, iulian_.
[03:35] <Corin> However, I suppose you're probably biased towards KDE software.
[03:35] <ruffleS> hi guys. what is the smallest metapackage to get a usable kde running?
[03:35] <Corin> Well, everyone here likely is. :P
[03:37] <maco> ruffleS: kde-standard i think
[03:37] <maco> ruffleS: or maybe even just kde-plasma-desktop
[03:37] <ruffleS> thanks
[03:38] <oduinn> okay so i still need to make it exec
[03:58] <lipe> \list
[03:58] <lipe> ?
[04:01] <lipe> \h
[04:06] <c2tarun> can anyone please tell me how to configure pastebin widget of KDE for http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[04:09] <Daskreech> c2tarun: Right click -> settings -> choose paste.ubuntu.com ?
[04:11] <c2tarun> Daskreech: in pastebin server tab i edited and wrote http://paste.ubuntu.com but when i tried to paste somthing i got the 'Error during upload'
[04:11] <Daskreech> c2tarun: I think we are not talking about the same thing
[04:12] <Daskreech> c2tarun: Oh wait which KDE are you using?
[04:12] <c2tarun> Daskreech: KDE 4.5.1
[04:12] <Daskreech> Ah umm Ok I have aKDE 4.6 and it's just a dropdown and you choose paste.ubuntu.com
[04:13] <c2tarun> Daskreech: hey kde 4.6 is KDE-plasma right?
[04:13] <Daskreech> I'm not sure how to answer that
[04:13] <Daskreech> what are you asking?
[04:14] <c2tarun> Daskreech: I heard about a KDE env know as KDE plasma. What is it?
[04:14] <maco> plasma is what all your widgets and panel and stuff are
[04:15] <maco> there's Plasma Desktop, Plasma Netbook, and Plasma Mobile (which is for phones)
[04:15] <Daskreech> c2tarun: It's what you know as your Desktop.
[04:15] <Daskreech> The Widget that you are trying to configure now is a part of Plasma
[04:16] <c2tarun> maco: ohh... :) got it. what is the difference btw KDE 4.5 and KDE 4.6?
[04:16] <maco> age
[04:16] <maco> and wallpaper, i think
[04:16] <c2tarun> maco: nothing else :/
[04:16] <maco> well i mean, there's newer code...
[04:17] <maco> so new features
[04:17] <maco> but thats what i mean by "age"
[04:17] <c2tarun> maco: ok got it :) thanks
[04:20] <ruffleS> could anyone please tell me what is the package i should install so i can change gtk apps' appearance from kde system settings?
[04:25] <Corin> What's a good simplistic Media Player?
[04:26] <Corin> I used to use MPC-HC or mpcstar... but those are Windows only.
[04:27] <ruffleS> Corin, mplayer
[04:28] <ruffleS> maybe vlc
[04:28] <Corin> Not VLC.
[04:28] <Corin> I was consider mplayer.
[04:28] <ruffleS> Corin, mplayer is my favorite
[04:29] <c2tarun> Corin: one thing I can tell for sure, Totem player was better than Dragon player
[04:30] <Corin> ruffleS: KMPlayer or Gnome MPlayer? :P
[04:33] <Daskreech> http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.6/ c2tarun
[04:33] <Daskreech> ruffleS: oxygen-gtk
[04:34] <Daskreech> Corin: dragon ?
[04:34] <ruffleS> Daskreech, thank you
[04:34] <c2tarun> Daskreech: thanks :)
[04:35] <Corin> Do MPlayer, Dragon or Totem have smart playlist functions?
[04:43] <Daskreech> Corin: I think your definition of simple is not what most people's definition is
[04:43] <Corin> What's my definition?
[04:44] <Daskreech> Simple has smartness?
[04:44] <Corin> That's pretty much the ONLY feature I want. :o
[04:45] <Daskreech> I think that for the most part once you have smart playlists it stops being simple
[04:45] <Daskreech> but you might try bangarang
[04:45] <Corin> Bangarang?
[04:45] <Daskreech> Yes
[04:58] <solitaire> [RaX]Konata
[04:59] <zMerlinZ> anyone know how to get a brother hl1435 running under kubuntu 10.10
[05:00] <Guest30912> hi, any software to control fan speed?
[05:00] <Guest30912> kubuntu 10.10
[05:02] <Daskreech> !brother
[05:02] <Daskreech> Hmm
[05:02] <Daskreech> !printer
[05:02] <Daskreech> Ah :)
[05:02] <Daskreech> Guest30912: yes... though I don't remember what it is called now
[05:02] <Corin> What's Ubuntu?
[05:02] <Guest30912> !ubuntu
[05:02] <Corin> That was sarcasm.
[05:03] <Guest30912> I loved kde
[05:03] <Daskreech> Corin: it's a concept :)
[05:03] <Corin> Loved?
[05:03] <Daskreech> Guest30912: what did she do to you?
[05:03] <Guest30912> it's amazaing that works veryy well using amd semprom 2 ghz
[05:04] <Guest30912> but i need some fan control here
[05:09] <Corin> Possibly odd question...
[05:09] <Corin> I'm trying to make it so that Pidgin's conversation window automatically groups with the buddy list...
[05:10] <Corin> I've been able to get it so that ALL Pidgin windows group but that causes other issues.
[05:10] <Corin> Anyone know how I can do what I want?
[05:11] <Daskreech> Corin: middle click drag the Buddy list to a conversation?
[05:12] <Corin> Oh sorry...
[05:12] <Corin> I forgot one important piece of information. lol
[05:12] <Corin> I want them to auto-group.
[05:12] <Corin> Oh wait.
[05:12] <Corin> No.
[05:12] <Corin> I said that.
[05:12] <Corin> Hmm.
[05:12] <FloodBotK3> Corin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:13] <Corin> Daskreech: Yeah, I know how to group them together. I just can't figure out how to force them to group by default.
[05:15] <Daskreech> Corin: looked at advanced -> Application settings?
[05:16] <Corin> Yes. I said I've gotten it to where ALL Pidgin windows auto-group. However, I wish for only TWO types of Pidgin windows to group.
[05:16] <Corin> Applications settings seems to only be able to let me do the former.
[05:17] <Daskreech> Oh do window settings then you can make them biased based on title etc
[05:17] <Corin> Unless there's some specific method in which I am unaware.
[05:17] <Corin> Yes but can you be more specific?
[05:17] <Corin> I'm rather new to KDE.
[05:18] <Daskreech> I'm not sure I don't use pidgin. If you go to the first tab you can get the Windows to show you how they expose themselves on Dbus and how kwin reads them
[05:18] <Daskreech> if you want to split them just look for the difference in a Buddylist and a Conversation and have only conversations autogroup
[05:20] <Corin> But what setting would I use to group them?
[05:21] <Daskreech> I'm not sure what you are using to group them in the first place
[05:21] <Corin> Oh.
[05:21] <Corin> Never mind.
[05:21] <Corin> Just figured it out.
[05:22] <Daskreech> Hooray!
[05:22] <Daskreech> KDE may be confusing but it works :)
[07:52] <bennyd420> hello all
[07:54] <faLUCE> hi. Is there a well ubuntu-compatible pci express video capture card (8 video inputs or more) that I can buy?
[08:23] <CuBeW0rK> hi all! I've just made an ext3 partition on a USB stick, and when I connect it and mount it using the popup window, I don't have user permissions on it
[08:24] <CuBeW0rK> I can't create any files on it, it says permission denied
[08:24] <CuBeW0rK> how can I fix this?
[08:28] <tsimpson> CuBeW0rK: use "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/whatever" (where /media/whatever is the location the partition is mounted)
[08:29] <tsimpson> you should only have to do that once and the changes should be stored on the USB partition
[08:29] <CuBeW0rK> tsimpson, thx
[08:36] <bennyd420> anyone around that knows linux well?
[08:37] <angelo> ciao
[08:55] <Daskreech> bennyd420: I suppose
[08:56] <Daskreech> what would you like to ask?
[08:56] <Daskreech> faLUCE: Most ATI cards are linux certified. a lot of highend graphics are done on Linux so the drivers work well for them
[08:57] <Daskreech> They may not be very good for gaming etc but they will be solid
[08:58] <Daskreech> CuBeW0rK: how did you mount the drive? you probably  did it with a restriceted set of permissions?
[08:58] <CuBeW0rK> Daskreech, my problem is solved now
[08:58] <Daskreech> CuBeW0rK: :-)
[08:58] <Daskreech> ok
[08:58] <CuBeW0rK> now I have another
[08:59] <Daskreech> ok
[08:59] <CuBeW0rK> I try to sync my nepomuk database between two computers
[08:59] <CuBeW0rK> with backup/restore
[08:59] <Daskreech> There is a wiki article on that
[08:59] <CuBeW0rK> do you have a link? I'm pretty new to kubuntu, I've switched from debian
[09:02] <Daskreech> It's a KDE article
[09:02] <Daskreech> trying to find it
[09:02] <Daskreech> though I think the qdbus should work
[09:02] <Daskreech> qdbus org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukbackupsync /backupmanager backup
[09:19] <t-rask> I can't seem to load TuxGuitar on KDE 4.6 (Kubuntu 10.10), anyone have any ideas? I can give terminal errors if requested.
[09:27] <alumno28> hello
[09:27] <rork> hi
[09:28] <Daskreech> hi
[10:06] <c2tarun> Can anyone please tell me somethin about kubuntu-ninjas and what do they do?
[10:16] <yofel> c2tarun: they are the team responsible for packaging software for Kubuntu
[10:27] <Daskreech> c2tarun: They are the team of volunteers who gets the KDE stuff that needs to be done done
[10:28] <Daughain> HOw do I add commands so I can use them as su?
[10:30] <yofel> Daughain: root can run any commands (except your bash aliases when using sudo)
[10:30] <Daughain> Nope.
[10:30] <Daughain> sudo ./fastboot==command not found
[10:31] <Daughain> plain ./fastboot==permissoin denied.
[10:33] <c2tarun> Daskreech: are they same as MOTU in ubuntu?
[10:33] <yofel> odd, running a simple 'sudo ./test.sh' after creating that works fine here
[10:34] <yofel> c2tarun: MOTU is for universe/multiverse, and ninjas don't have upload rights to the archive themselves, kubuntu-devs have that. But generally they have the same purpose. The ninjas help in preparing the packages before they get uploaded
[10:35] <c2tarun> yofel: are there any documentation available like how to become a k*-ninja?
[10:35] <Daughain> If it was normal, I owuldnt need to be asking for help. =)
[10:37] <Daughain> fastboot is an executable. and running the command in its local dir.
[10:38] <Daughain> Using ./fastboot I get 'permission denied'
[10:38] <yofel> c2tarun: see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/GettingInvolved/Development
[10:39] <Daughain> using sudo ./fastboot I get 'command not found'.
[10:39] <yofel> Daughain: well, can you post the full command not found line?
[10:39] <c2tarun> yofel: thanks :)
[10:39] <yofel> c2tarun: but in general: go to #kubuntu-devel and say you want to become one, we always need help
[10:40] <Daughain> daughain@Saints-Haven:~/android/platform-tools$ sudo ./fastboot
[10:40] <Daughain> sudo: ./fastboot: command not found
[10:40] <Daughain> daughain@Saints-Haven:~/android/platform-tools$ ./fastboot
[10:40] <Daughain> bash: ./fastboot: Permission denied
[10:40] <Daughain> Thats both.
[10:40] <yofel> I fear I'm clueless then :/
[10:41] <c2tarun> yofel: sure :) hey I know Gtk programming a bit, do I have to learn Qt or Gtk can help me?
[10:41] <Daughain> I am too, thats why I stopped in here. =)
[10:42] <yofel> c2tarun: probably not too much since we usually work with Qt applications (note: you don't need to know programming to become a ninja, though it helps in a few cases)
[10:43] <yofel> c2tarun: but really, start by hanging out in #kubuntu-devel, we don't bite
[10:43] <TheLiQuid> hi, i've got a little problem updateing to version 4.6, i added the ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports tp my sources and when i want to install kubuntu-desktop it said that i've got the newest version but i have 4.5.1
[10:43] <TheLiQuid> can any1 tell me where my mistake is?
[10:44] <c2tarun> yofel: sure :) i am there, and from next time when i come to IRC i'll surely join it :) by the way, is #kubuntu-devel is the place where ninjas stay?
[10:44] <yofel> TheLiQuid: did you check for updates after adding it? (refreshed the cache?)
[10:44] <TheLiQuid> yes i do
[10:44] <yofel> c2tarun: yes, everything related to kubuntu development happens there
[10:45] <yofel> TheLiQuid: err... also, you'll already have kubuntu-desktop installed, you need to update the packages, not install kubuntu-desktop
[10:46] <c2tarun> yofel: grt :)
[10:49] <TheLiQuid> but with the update he wants to remove my ubuntu-desktop, atm i have installed both because im not sure which one to use in future
[10:53] <tsimpson> Daughain: does fastboot have executable permissions?
[10:53] <Daughain> Thanks, tsimpson, That was the prob, yeah. just got done fixing that.
[10:54] <tsimpson> sudo will complain with the not found error even if it exists, but is not executable
[10:55]  * Daughain nods.
[10:55]  * Daughain learned that. =)
[10:56] <yofel> TheLiQuid: can you run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and put the output in a pastebin?
[10:59] <sre-su> Kubuntu Maverick Hi! I had a system break down recently due to some network device driver error probably. After this I lost network and KDE suddenly returned to some old state with different icons for sound, network manager. I lost mozilla firefox tabs, firefox got reset to some previous settings because of which i'm not able to restore tabs as well ... After few restarts I almost got back to my old state of KDE but still I see
[10:59] <sre-su> updates for KDE which I already have.  What could have caused it and how can i fix it?
[11:15] <CuBeW0rK> does anyone know how can I enable compositing and desktop effects on an intel mobile 4 integrated GPU in maverick?
[11:19] <sre-su> Are these pacakges source correct for Maverick install- http://imagebin.org/135555 ?
[11:38] <banoz> hi there
[11:39] <banoz> any idea of why cmake sometimes doesn't create the .so symbolic links?
[12:08] <TheLiQuid> yofel: sorry for the deay, im @work here's the link      http://pastebin.com/eNTK9hiY
[12:43] <Mario_> hi, i have some problems with my cpu under kubuntu 10.10 with kubuntu-beta ppa installed. cpu is an amd t1090 be o.c. to 4 ghz. but kubuntu only shows me 2.8 ghz under /proc/cpuinfo ... i have already disabled "ondemand" with rcconf and uninstalled everything which seems to be throttle the cpu ... does anybody have a solution how my kubuntu can work with th 4 ghz?? (under archlinux with the same kde - 4.6 - everything works fine)
[13:04] <shane4ubuntu> ok, what is the best way to install skype?  I used the static version, but my web cam doesn't work and the sound is weird, any ideas??  Web cam worked on my regular Ubuntu install, I think it is the static version is hmm, odd or something, working on 64bit here.
[13:04] <shane4ubuntu> is the mediubuntu method the best way?  or manually?
[13:26] <howlymowly> hi poeple..  I am using a seperate partition for my encrypted home directory...  provided that i use the same password and login-data . Will I be able to reinstall my system and have my home-directory directly available? (I did this wiht non-encrypted home directories all the time.. but I don't know whether this works with an encrypted home directory..)
[14:10] <pmjp> hello
[14:11] <pmjp> hmmm
[14:25] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[15:08] <massimo> ciao
[15:08] <massimo> !list
[15:23] <probme> I am having problem with nvidia card
[15:24] <probme> Optimus nvidia.... i saw in sitting-->system sitting multimedia that it is not showing any card
[15:25] <probme> or device
[15:25] <probme> Why is this problem please?
[15:26] <probme> I know That Optimus nvidia does not support in Linux but Should it not show the device?
[15:34] <probme>  I am having problem with nvidia card. i saw multimedia that it is not showing any devices. Why is this problem please? I know That Optimus nvidia does not support in Linux but Should it not show the device?
[15:43] <jsebean> hello
[15:43] <jsebean> I'm having trouble with kubuntu
[15:43] <jsebean> it wont boot up after installed
[15:43] <jsebean> i have 10.04
[15:43] <jsebean> any ideas?
[15:44] <jsebean> would 10.10 fix this?
[15:44] <jsebean> any ideas anyone?
[15:45] <BluesKaj> probme, open the kmenu /applications/system/hardware drivers , choose the recommended nvidia driver and install it
[15:47] <jsebean> any ideas anyone?
[15:48] <genii-around> jsebean: If it doesn't boot now under 10.04, it probably still won't boot under 10.10
[15:48] <jsebean> how do i fix it?
[15:48] <jsebean> ubuntu (gnome) worked fine
[15:48] <jsebean> but this wont work
[15:48] <probme> BluesKaj, It is Optimus nvidia ... will it support?
[15:48] <BluesKaj> jsebean, older pc , prhaps ?
[15:48] <jsebean> no
[15:48] <jsebean> new, came with windows 7
[15:49] <jsebean> AMD processor and ATI Graphics
[15:49] <jsebean> just got it this past summer
[15:49] <genii-around> jsebean: Did you install it from inside Windows?
[15:49] <jsebean> no
[15:49] <jsebean> not this nor regular ubuntu
[15:49] <jsebean> i used the CD i burned
[15:49] <BluesKaj> probme, optimus nvidia ,model numder pls , if it's an onboard  2 or 300 series then there may an issue .
[15:50] <genii-around> jsebean: Did your computer have Windows installed on a RAID of some kind?
[15:51] <probme> BluesKaj, How can i see the model number please? (lspci?)
[15:51] <jsebean> i dont know
[15:51] <BluesKaj> probme, lspci | grep VGA
[15:52] <probme> right
[15:52] <genii-around> jsebean: From your regular Ubuntu install, you can issue: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[15:52] <ales> je tu cz
[15:52] <jsebean> to install KDE?
[15:52] <jsebean> ill try that i guess
[15:53] <genii-around> jsebean: Yes, kubuntu-desktop is a meta package which puts KDE plus an assortment of apps
[15:54] <probme> BluesKaj, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce G310M] (rev a2)
[15:55] <probme> BluesKaj, This is the nvidia
[15:55] <probme> BluesKaj, Intel Graphics also need?
[15:55] <BluesKaj> probme, ok I repeat : open the kmenu /applications/system/hardware drivers , choose the recommended nvidia driver and install it
[15:57] <BluesKaj> probme, 2 graphics cards ?
[15:57] <probme> BluesKaj, Yeah thats why it is optimus
[15:57] <probme> BluesKaj, It is Asus laptop
[15:58] <BluesKaj> the chipset is nvidia , run the  recommended nvidia driver, probme
[15:59] <laszlok> Riddell: can't seem to post a comment on your blog, but I have a T410 and it works well with Ubuntu. There is an SD card slot (on mine at least) just to the right of the grip to open the lid.
[15:59] <probme> BluesKaj, I was did that but system get hang
[15:59] <BluesKaj> BBL , I have to reboot , just installed gnome ..gonna have a look
[15:59] <Riddell> laszlok: aah
[16:00] <Riddell> laszlok: that's completely non obvious!
[16:00] <laszlok> Riddell: I couldn't find it for the first two weeks either!
[16:01] <laszlok> Riddell: Also, i've replaced the cd drive with a 40gb SDD in the ultra bay and it is quite nice. Maverick boots in under 20 seconds
[16:01] <Riddell> laszlok: yeah I was thinking about getting one of those.  you just need an ultrabay sata converter from ebay no?
[16:01] <sri13> how to upgrade directly from kubuntu 9.04 to kubuntu 10.10
[16:02] <Riddell> sri13: you can't
[16:02] <sri13> Riddell: Is there any way other solution for this ?
[16:03] <laszlok> Riddell: I paid the full price for the lenovo one, ($60) which is too much because it isn't even really a converter. The laptop is using sata internally so its just a bracket that holds the drive in place and lets you hook regular sata up to the mini sata port inside the ultrabay
[16:03] <Riddell> sri13: upgrade to 9.10 then 10.04 then 10.10 or just install 10.10 over the old instal
[16:04] <sri13> Riddell: I tried installing using cd , but it didnt work .... OS is not detecting my keyboard or mouse during installation
[16:34] <Corin> This is a bit random... I was just curious what kubuntu users thought was the best IRC client.
[16:36] <BluesKaj> Corin, konversation is my fav , altho quassel seems to be the default
[16:37] <Corin> Interesting.
[16:37] <Corin> Ever tried KVIrc?
[16:38] <MrCurlyBraces_> I got a question about irc client's as well
[16:38] <BluesKaj> KVirc is ok, abit busy IMO
[16:38] <MrCurlyBraces_> Right now I'm using quassel but would like one with scripting capabilities
[16:38] <Corin> Busy?
[16:38] <MrCurlyBraces_> mainly for encrypting private messages
[16:39] <Corin> MrCurlyBraces_: KVIrc is nice. :3
[16:40] <BluesKaj> Corin, a polite expression for cluttered :)_
[16:40] <Corin> Oh.
[16:40] <Corin> That's what I figured.
[16:40] <Corin> I guess it's a bit bulky...
[16:40] <Corin> However, it seems to function efficiently, all the same.
[16:41] <rtdos> is there something similar to http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/index.php for kde / kubuntu ?
[16:41] <BluesKaj> it's a good stable client tho , I just prefer konversation for it's simple straight forward setup and appearance
[16:42] <MrCurlyBraces_> Corin, thanks! I'll look in to it.
[16:42] <Corin> Yeah, I've heard that before.
[16:42] <Corin> Simplistic just doesn't work for me, as far as IRC clients.
[16:43] <Corin> I'd prefer something bulky with a higher level of customization.
[16:45] <avihay> Hi. I have a problem connecting to computers over a third partie vpn. I get a message ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted.  I've attached the output of route -n here: http://pastebin.com/guywbHn0
[16:46] <avihay> party
[16:47] <avihay> do I need to add another routeing rule?  do I need to mess with iptables?
[16:48] <Peace-> mm
[16:49] <Peace-> rtdos: kde look
[16:49] <Peace-> rtdos: maybe
[16:49] <Peace-> avihay: door?
[16:50] <Peace-> avihay: open the right dor and should work (totally nob on vpn)
[16:50] <rtdos> thanks, peace
[16:50] <avihay> Peace-: I beg your pardon? I'm useing a vpn software called Hamachi
[16:50] <Peace-> qhamachi?
[16:50] <avihay> creates it's own network interface
[16:51] <Peace-> avihay: ok but router is router
[16:51] <avihay> humm, need to try that, I'm useing hamachi from the command line or hamachi-gui
[16:51] <Peace-> if you have a closed door hamachi can not  work
[16:51] <Peace-> i guess
[16:51] <Peace-> like every program
[16:52] <Peace-> avihay: which door does it use?
[16:52] <avihay> what do you mean by door?
[16:52] <Peace-> :S
[16:52] <Peace-> 80 = browsing
[16:52] <avihay> port
[16:52] <Peace-> port ok
[16:53] <Peace-> avihay: i am italian some times i didn't link the right english word with italian right word
[16:53] <Peace-> xD
[16:53]  * Peace- /sometimes/often
[16:54] <avihay> yhe, I understand. I have no clue what port it uses to pass it's traffic on, all I know is that it works
[16:54] <avihay> It connects to the vpn server, and I can see the list of users n' all
[16:54] <Peace-> wait a moment
[16:55] <Peace-> avihay: maybe could be usefull maybe not http://logmeinwiki.com/wiki/Hamachi:Gaming_over_Hamachi
[16:56] <Peace-> avihay: i guess you have to find out which port tcp and udp it uses
[16:57] <avihay> the problem is when I try to ping/connect through the hamachi interface
[16:57] <avihay> that page is only about windows
[16:58] <Peace-> avihay: 12975 tcp
[16:58] <Peace-> 32976 tcp
[16:59] <Peace-> avihay: i am sure if you have your firewall set bad hamachi can't work well
[16:59] <Peace-> avihay: have you a router or just a firewall ?
[16:59] <BluesKaj> avihay, http://logmeinwiki.com/wiki/Hamachi:Gaming_over_Hamachi#Configuring_Routers
[17:00] <avihay> error message: ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted.
[17:00] <avihay> the problem is on my side
[17:00] <Peace-> anyway i guess i have seen qhamachi
[17:00] <Peace-> that should be easier for your
[17:00] <Peace-> you
[17:00] <rtdos> how do i disable fast user switching?
[17:00] <avihay> can't find qhamachi. have you got a link?
[17:01] <BluesKaj> Peace-, most routers have HW firewalls built in , that's the reason for port settings and application tcp and udp potrs
[17:01] <BluesKaj> err ports
[17:01] <BluesKaj> avihay, what router do you usae ?
[17:01] <avihay> BluesKaj: I can connect to the server, it's not an external firewall issue
[17:02] <Peace-> BluesKaj: i know routers get firewall built in ... infact i guess he didn't open the right port
[17:02] <avihay> none
[17:02] <avihay> no router
[17:02] <BluesKaj> modem then
[17:02] <Peace-> avihay: so you have iptables ?
[17:02] <avihay> none
[17:02] <Peace-> turned on ?
[17:02] <avihay> I belive so
[17:02] <Peace-> BluesKaj: :S
[17:02] <avihay> believe*
[17:02] <Peace-> avihay: have you kde?
[17:02] <avihay> yes
[17:03] <Peace-> kubuntu version ?
[17:03] <avihay> 10.04
[17:03] <Peace-> avihay: do you know how to compile stuff?
[17:03] <BluesKaj> so how are you connecting to an ISP , avahi ...did you build an interface using a pc ?
[17:03] <avihay> yes, I know how to compile stuff
[17:04] <Peace-> avihay: could you consider to build this http://nowardev.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/easy-firewall-for-kde4-kubuntu/
[17:05] <avihay> well, I'm currently at a university. my eth0 IP is also the external IP. I don't know exactly what kind of black magic they use to limit my speed or block some ports, but that's not the problem
[17:06] <Peace-> mmm
[17:06] <Peace-> well if you are at a university i guess you are under a firewall that can not be handle via your computer..
[17:06] <Peace-> if you are not the admin
[17:06] <Peace-> so the port wil be closed :D
[17:07] <Peace-> will be kept closed
[17:07] <avihay> mmm, I'm considering it, but I know the solution is something like one iptables rule away or somth
[17:08] <Peace-> iptables of your computer doens't take effect on the iptable of university router ...
[17:08] <Peace-> i guess
[17:08] <Peace-> avihay: You could open some ports on your firewall if you have enabled
[17:08] <Peace-> avihay: anyway kubuntu doesn't enable by default iptables
[17:08] <avihay> no it doesn't, but like I've said, Hamachi works. it opens it's tunnel successfully
[17:08] <Peace-> mm
[17:09] <avihay> I can't use the tunnel due to my computer blocking it
[17:09] <avihay> otherwise, ping would have said destination unreachable, or hamachi wouldn't have been able to connect at all
[17:09] <Peace-> avihay: so i you are sure... about this try to compile that firewall interface
[17:09] <Peace-> and set some ports
[17:09] <Peace-> avihay: i have an article here about hamachi
[17:10] <Peace-> avihay: but it's italian ...
[17:10] <Peace-> avihay: have you chromium ?
[17:10] <Peace-> so you can translateit ?
[17:11] <avihay> chrome uses google translate. you can use google translate from any broser, and even some non-browser like IE < 9
[17:12] <Peace-> i know but chromium is comfortable..
[17:12] <Peace-> -.-
[17:12] <Peace-> anyway that is
[17:12] <Peace-> http://ubuntrucchi.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/hamachi-una-semplice-vpn-distribuita/
[17:12] <Peace-> !hamachi
[17:12] <avihay> I don't think I'll compile it. it looks very experimental. I'm gonna try gufw from the repositories
[17:12] <Peace-> do as you wish
[17:12] <Peace-> i am on kubuntu 10.04
[17:12] <Peace-> and it's working fine
[17:15] <iulian_> avihay: on this file ~/.hamachi/config what value is KeepAlive ?
[17:17] <avihay> iulian_: It's empty
[17:21] <BluesKaj> avihay, if you think your U isn't packetshaping or port monitoring and throttling your connection , then i would be very surprised
[17:22] <avihay> I know it is, but why would I get that error message if it was?
[17:22] <avihay> if it was interfering
[17:24] <Guest70698> Is there a way to make touchpad scrolling works in kubuntu 10.04
[17:24] <BluesKaj> avihay, can you ssh into the network pcs ?
[17:26] <Guest70698> ?
[17:28] <avihay> BluesKaj: I can ssh where I want. they block ssh to my computer though
[17:29] <avihay> the computer I'm trying to connect to with hamachi is behind a firewall, and running windows. It won't be practical to run an ssh server on it
[17:30] <ncfi1013> my file manager is opening in vlc instead of dolphin. what do i do? ive tried the right click option and there is no option to change it back to dolphin. so what do i do?
[17:31] <avihay> damn annoying using the computer farm computers without KDE software is a pain in the @$$$, and not being able to forward x over ssh from my computer is also annoying
[17:33] <ncfi1013> my file manager is opening in vlc instead of dolphin. what do i do? ive tried the right click option and there is no option to change it back to dolphin. so what do i do?
[17:33] <avihay> IPtable's ruleset is too scary for me to tackle alone...
[17:33] <BluesKaj> avihay, ssh -Y -l username 192.168.x.x . that should get an X server if you run the "appname &"
[17:33] <avihay> ncfi1013: then add one
[17:34] <ncfi1013> how
[17:34] <avihay> sec
[17:35] <avihay> ncfi1013: go to system settings -> default applications
[17:35] <BluesKaj> ncfi1013, open system settings /default applications / file manager , choose dolphin
[17:35] <avihay> in file manager, you should have dolphin listed
[17:36] <avihay> if you have it, select it. if you don't, the bottom option let's you sellect it manually
[17:38] <ncfi1013> now how do i remove the vlc option from the default applications menu? thanks for your help.
[17:39] <Peace-> ncfi1013: system settings file associations
[17:39] <avihay> well, there is another option to change these settings. go to dolphin, right click a folder, select properties
[17:39] <avihay> or that
[17:39] <BluesKaj> hmm, gnome still isn't my cuppa tea..nice to look at but panel etc are not to my taste ..tried configging it to somethin I call workable but it's just not "happening"
[17:40] <Peace-> BluesKaj: :)
[17:40] <avihay> anyway, my way, to the right of filetype : folder, there is a little button with a wrench
[17:40] <Peace-> in kde there a lots of ways...
[17:41] <Peace-> xD
[17:41] <avihay> it's self explanatory, but, click what you don't like, click remove
[17:41] <Corin> In KDE, you could have a panel on each side. xD
[17:41] <Corin> Including top and bottom. :o
[17:42] <avihay> in kde, you can only have one panel on each side, and they all have to use the same theme
[17:42] <iulian_> avihay: maybe there http://community.logmein.com/t5/Hamachi/hamachi-0-9-9-9-20-linux-client-to-hamachi-2-issues/td-p/30817
[17:42] <Corin> avihay: Did I say that wasn't true?
[17:43] <ncfi1013> ok thanks avihay blueskaj and peace-. i will just avoid vlc in the right click menu.
[17:43] <Peace-> ncfi1013: :)
[17:45] <avihay> Corin: what you said was true. what I said was true as-well.
[18:52] <igorov> hola
[19:08] <Ubulindy> came here from #ubuntu, migrated from gnome  to kde and now have no way to access /home & have no options in any menus
[19:09] <Ubulindy> they said to come here
[19:09] <Ubulindy> tried thru "computer", and it said file type can not be opened
[19:09] <Ubulindy> wierd
[19:09] <tsimpson> how are you trying to access /home?
[19:10] <Ubulindy> at this point thru any way I can, since unlike gnome, there is no >places>home>video, ect
[19:10] <tsimpson> what application are you using?
[19:10] <Ubulindy> and when I bring up a term, it opens to ~/Documents
[19:11] <Ubulindy> application?
[19:11] <tsimpson> are you using dolphin?
[19:11] <Ubulindy> no idea really, installed kde and eveything borked, and now Im lost
[19:11] <Ubulindy> Im back in gnome now
[19:12] <Ubulindy> but I liked kde more
[19:12] <tsimpson> what program are you using to try and access /home, what does it say in the title bar?
[19:13] <Ubulindy> it opned up gedit from what I recall
[19:13] <Ubulindy> and I was accessing it thru the panel menu
[19:13] <Ubulindy> except in kde, its quite different, and the usual options are gone
[19:13] <Ubulindy> it shows merely "computer"
[19:14] <Ubulindy> and when I click a box comes up saying unable to open file type
[19:14] <Ubulindy> Iv e switched back and forth to all desktops, and Ive never seen this happen
[19:15] <Ubulindy> any ideas?
[19:17] <Peace-> Ubulindy: what?
[19:17] <Ubulindy> can not access or even view my home folder, videos, music, nothing
[19:17] <Peace-> Ubulindy: mm looks like a permission problem
[19:18] <Ubulindy> and if I cant access anything how would I change permissions, and how did it bork?
[19:18] <Ubulindy> terminal is borked it seems as well
[19:18] <Peace-> Ubulindy: mm you should ... create a new user...
[19:18] <Peace-> Ubulindy: read this
[19:19] <Ubulindy> roxterm brings up ~/Documents
[19:19] <Ubulindy> k
[19:19] <Peace-> Ubulindy: http://nowardev.wordpress.com/2010/10/31/try-to-fix-your-kubuntu-box-with-kernel-recovery/
[19:19] <Peace-> Ubulindy: anywway if you got a terminal
[19:19] <Ubulindy> Ooo ok
[19:19] <Peace-> you could read
[19:19] <Ubulindy> hm
[19:19] <Ubulindy> nope
[19:19] <Ubulindy> lol

[19:43] <atomopawn_work> Hello all.  Just switched to Kubuntu from Arch linux (on some of my systems).  Does anyone know of some good documentation on getting a KDE development environment set up?  I've been having issues with library paths when I try to just install stuff to /usr/local/
[19:43] <atomopawn_work> (Kubuntu specific documentation, I mean)
[19:43] <atomopawn_work> I've been through all the stuff on techbase...
[19:55] <tsimpson> atomopawn_work: #kubuntu-devel should have some advice for you
[20:11] <tiziano> ciao
[20:19] <renano> ciao
[20:30] <renano> ciao
[21:09] <JuJuBee> What's going on with 10.10?  I have tried the 32 bit and 64 bit download and both fail to boot.  I always get dumped to (initramfs) prompt with a message about /dev/loop0
[21:09] <JuJuBee> I have confirmed the md5 for both
[21:14] <drbobb> hey what's with the download new plasmoids tool, i install stuff with it and it says they're installed, but they never show up on the add new plasmoid list
[21:21] <drbobb> duuh, actually they did appear, though with some delay. weird.
[21:46] <JuJuBee> need help... Anybody see this when trying to boot from 10.10 disc? http://pastie.org/1519613
[21:49] <Guest87599> hi, sometime when I open new window, it is black kde 4.6
[21:49] <Guest87599> anyone knows how to fix it?
[22:01] <roam> How can I disable animation of the icon on plasma netbook edition
[22:02] <ubuntu> hello good afternoon everyone i am trying kubuntu 10.10 but it is not givin me the option to configure my screen on 1024x768 it only has  800x600 can somebody tell me iof this can be fix please_
[22:03] <ubuntu> therefore i am doubting about installing it
[22:06] <rork> ubuntu: larger resolution are probably available if you install graphics drivers
[22:06] <ubuntu> and it says also no propietary drivers are in use on this system
[22:07] <rork> ubuntu: but you can activate them?
[22:07] <ubuntu> install graphics drivers...mmmm, but that is a probability
[22:07] <rork> I mean, there is one you can select
[22:07] <ubuntu> activate what? there are no options to be activate it
[22:08] <rork> That's probably because you're on a live-cd, activating them requires a reboot
[22:08] <mr-rich> anyone know what is the gui gnome config tool?
[22:08] <maco> gconf-editor?
[22:08] <rork> mr-rich: maybe ask in #ubuntu, they know about gnome, this channel is kde oriented
[22:08] <ubuntu> well i am on live cd because i want to see everything before installing it
[22:09] <ubuntu> and so far i have that issue with my screen res
[22:09] <maco> ubuntu: does it show that new graphics drivers are available?
[22:09] <maco> you cant install them on a live cd as they require a reboot, but if they're listed in there, you should be alright
[22:09] <ubuntu> nope
[22:10] <mr-rich> rork: I'm using kubuntu, but I run a few gnome apps (ie: evolution) and I need to configure some default gnome apps ...
[22:11] <ubuntu> ok but tell me how do i look for graphic drivers i did type that on kpackage kit and it found nothing
[22:13] <rork> ubuntu: System > Additional Drivers
[22:14] <ubuntu> i did that and it says that there are no propietary drivers in use on this system
[22:14] <ubuntu> my pc do not have nvidia hardware
[22:15] <rork> Which graphics card do you have?
[22:15] <ubuntu> i do not know how can i find that out?
[22:15] <maco> lspci
[22:17] <ubuntu> Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface
[22:31] <moldy> hi
[22:31] <moldy> can i upgrade from 10.04 without the upgrade-manager thing? by changing sources.list and running apt-get dist-upgrade?
[22:32] <rork> hi
[22:34] <moldy> i am suffering from this problem: ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
[22:38] <moldy> how do i find out if i still have any unofficial packages on the system?
[23:30] <drbobb> hey, what's a quick solution to recode some flac files to mp3?
[23:31] <afief> drbobb: ffmpeg recodes everything, but it probably isn't the optimal solution
[23:31] <afief> drbobb: you could decode flac, pass the decoded stream to lame and have it produce the mp3
[23:32] <drbobb> so what can do the job quick on a kde system?
[23:32] <afief> You mean a GUI?
[23:32] <drbobb> afief: a single command would be ok if such existed
[23:33] <drbobb> I do use CLI a lot but I don't want to spend the evening reading manpages for a couple of songs
[23:33] <afief> well, I don't have any flac files lying around byt try this: ffmpeg -i original.flac output.mp3
[23:33] <drbobb> sox doesn't do flac does iit?
[23:34] <afief> excuse my ignorance but what it sox?
[23:34] <drbobb> Sox is the Swiss army knife of sound processing.
[23:35] <drbobb> well that phrase was coined back in the '90s
[23:35] <afief> funny... I'd expect a swiss army knife of sound to support flac :-) oh well
[23:35] <drbobb> like I said, it's 1990s vintage
[23:37] <afief> but last release was april last year, flac has been around for a long time
[23:37] <drbobb> I tried several of the less known multimedia utils from the repos
[23:37] <drbobb> most of them are terminally buggy
[23:39] <drbobb> yep, ffmpeg at least works
[23:40] <drbobb> I think I saw there was a gnome-sound-converter util, but I'm afraid it might pull in most of the rest of gnome behind it
[23:40] <drbobb> funny that kde has no such util
[23:41] <drbobb> yikes, ffmpeg defaults to 64kbps for mp3 output
[23:41] <drbobb> down to reading manpages after all *sigh*
[23:47] <drbobb> aargh there are about 5000 different possible options
[23:54] <afief> drbobb: if I'm not mistaken it's the -ab flag(check the units though I think it's in bytes nowadays)
[23:54] <afief> drbobb: with ffmpeg coding up a converter shouldn't take more than a day's work
[23:54] <drbobb> yeah I sort of figured out the -ab
[23:55] <drbobb> I can't figure out how to get VBR though
[23:55] <drbobb> afief: a good converter would take a LOT more
[23:55] <drbobb> there exist about a dozen half-baked buggy ones
[23:57] <afief> drbobb: of course that is true, but I guess the issue here is that most of them try to reinvent what already exists
[23:59] <valorie> drbobb: Amarok now has transcoding built-in
[23:59] <valorie> it uses ffmpeg to do the work
