Legion-LynxHey could I get some help, Im running Kubuntu 9.10 and I am having trouble with my sound. I can hear sound from music or video files and I hear system sounds yet when I try to play a video on the web I get nothing. I also do not hear sound in Ventrillo or Skype. I have trying playing the videos in Konqueor and in Firefox to no effect. Any suggestions?00:41
starwind_so it seems i'm having trouble updating kubuntu, any help?00:48
starwind_All I get is a popup saying "One of the selected packages failed to install correctly. More information is available in the detailed report"00:48
starwind_the details are "subprocess installed post-installtion script returned error exit status 1"00:49

webohI am having trouble getting access to root.01:00
webohI am also having trouble getting anything other than gnome for a desktop01:01
webohsound familar?01:01
genii-aroundweboh: (K)ubuntu does not use a root account by design.01:06
webohinteresting01:06
webohperhaps, I should have used slackware.01:07
genii-aroundPerhaps :)01:07
webohbut slackware you have to compile everything. gag01:07
genii-aroundweboh: Root can be enabled, but it is discouraged since almost all scripts and commands etc make use of sudo. Also it is easy of course to make huge unrecoverable booboos01:08
webohwhat for updates, check if (K)ubuntu supports has the package etc.01:09
genii-aroundweboh: in commandline usually: apt-cache search <name>01:10
genii-aroundweboh: sudo apt-get update     is to fetch latest package list01:10

diego_i need something like itunes01:20
genii-arounddiego_: If just for music, amarok likely01:25
diego_oh ok thanks01:26
diego_another question how can i increase the icons in desktop?01:26
genii-aroundin system settings you can specify stuff like icon size, spacing,fonts, etc01:27
genii-aroundI think under Workspace Appearance01:28
FloridaGuy... /home/mike/.kde//share/config/dolphinc ...not writable..01:32
genii-aroundFloridaGuy: sudo chown -r mike:mike ~/.kde01:33
FloridaGuygenii-around: chown: invalid option -- 'r'01:34
genii-aroundFloridaGuy: use -R  then01:35
diego_where is trash icon at?01:36
FloridaGuygenii-around: fixed....thank you.......what would have caused that....its a fresh install01:36
genii-aroundFloridaGuy: Also if you need to run dolphin with elevated priveleges, should use: kdesudo dolphin01:36
genii-aroundFloridaGuy: Usually by doing something like sudo <graphical-appname-here> instead of using kdesudo for kde or so on01:37
FloridaGuygenii-around: thats how i been doing it.....but just opening dolphin as normal user...was giving me that message01:37
genii-aroundFloridaGuy: If you use just sudo, it's not smart enough to know that the dolphinrc file should belong to "mike" or whoever01:38

genii-aroundFloridaGuy: Well, whatever caused it, was a permissions issue :) You know now how you can recover from it01:42
FloridaGuygenii-around: now after doing ...  sudo chown -R mike:mike ~/.kde   ... systen settings wont open01:43
genii-aroundFloridaGuy: Likely some cached files belong to another user. Try logging out/back in01:44
FloridaGuythat isent any other user for this system...just me01:44
genii-aroundFloridaGuy: If you just issue: whoami              what does it say?01:45

genii-aroundFloridaGuy: I suspect still some files relating to system settings are somehow owned by root. Would still suggest logout to kdm and back in, try again01:47

thrall_perhaps someone could explain what's going on here: I look up the Handlers of my mouse in the output of /proc/bus/input/devices. I find event8. I try sudo xxd /dev/input/event8. It does nothing. I use the mouse to generate some input. still nothing. I was expecting to see some data. Have I misunderstood something?02:25
diego_How can i execute a script?02:46
sagacidiego_: make it exectable then ./script.sh02:47
diego_like this? ./script.sh in konsole?02:48
genii-aroundmight wwant to use a shebang first line02:48
genii-aroundeg: #!/bin/sh                       or so02:50
diego_so if my script.sh file is in /home/diego/Documentos/02:54
diego_in konsole i need to write first "cd /home/diego/Documentos/"02:54
diego_then?02:54
genii-arounddiego_: then like ./script.sh02:56
genii-aroundOr just use entire path at start02:56
diego_nothin.. i put ./script.sh and nothin happened02:56
genii-arounddiego_: What was it supposed to do?02:57
diego_this is the script02:58
diego_echo "emerald --replace | compiz" > ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh02:58

diego_i will see im going to restart my laptop03:03
diego_it works! thanks03:08
diego_genii-around: it didnt work :(03:26
genii-arounddiego_: I suspect it may have more to do with using emerald and compiz than a script failure. But since I don't use either can't be certain03:27
diego_:(03:28
diego_that sucks because everytime when i start kubuntu i need to put in konsole "emerald –replace | compiz"03:38

iulian_ok check this page something with your settings is wrong04:53
iulian_https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion04:53
genii-arounddiego_: I think your main prob is that there is a specific file format for stuff in Autostart and it's not a shell file04:54
genii-arounddiego_: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz#Method_1_-_Autostart_Link gives a sample, you can use a different thing to execute than what they have however04:56

mantisei need to mount it manuel in console ?11:31
rorkyou can do `ls /media` to check if it's mounted, if it's not you'll have to do a manual mount11:32
rorkwhich graphics card do you have?11:32
GHHHello11:32
rorkhi GHH11:32
mantiserork: No, only floppy there. i have an nvidia geforce gtx 46011:33
GHHI Installed KDE in Ubuntu 10.10 . But How can i remove this one please http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/small/ubuntu1004installation-small_000.png11:34
GHH?11:34
mantisei installed the driver in gnome when i had that installed, maybe it removed it when, i uninstalled gnome11:34
GHHI am spending about 1 month but i still can't remove the wallpaper11:35
GHHCan someone help me please?11:35
GHHrork,11:35
rorkGHH is that a wallpaper of the plymouth screen?11:35
rorkmantise: you can configure the nvidia drivers with `sudo nvidia-config`11:36
GHHrork, Actually i am not understanding that where it is exist but i saw this is not exist in plymouth11:36
mantiserork, command not found11:37
GHHrork, can you guess where is wallpaper is exist?11:37
mantiserork: i did nvidia-detector<- was the only command i could use11:38
mantiserork: and i got reply: none11:38
yofelGHH: sudo update-alternatives default.plymouth11:38
yofelif you want to change the splash screen11:38
yofelmantise: nvidia-xconfig ?11:38
yofel(with sudo)11:39
yofelif that's not there then the driver isn't installed11:39
GHHyofel, I have my own wallpaper which i want to use11:39
GHHyofel, I mean editing it manually and adding company wallpaper11:40
yofeloh, then the only thing I know is that you can try to edit the splash files in /lib/plymouth/11:40
GHHyofel, Is it not one wallpaper?11:42
yofelno, it's a wallpaper I think + the theme which handles the dots, messages and input11:43
GHHyeah11:43
yofelbut I think the background can also be rendered by setting a color gradient in the theme, so no wallpaper at all if that's used11:43
GHHyofel, But i can not find the wallpaper in plymouth11:43
GHHthat is my problem11:43
yofelI think it does support using wallpapers, but I don't know how11:44
GHHSo is it not possible to remove or using Black screen ?11:44
yofelwell, you can remove the 'splash' option in /etc/default/grub, that *should* give you a black screen11:45
GHHyofel, perhaps you are telling about the "quiet splash" but did not work11:46
yofelthen I'm out of ideas11:47
GHHthanks for tried to help me11:47
mantiseyofel: it didnt work. as su osv :) then gnome must have removed it11:48
mantiseapt-get install nvidia-?11:48
yofelmantise: which driver did you have installed?11:48
mantisewell, when i had gnome, it found an nvidia driver for geforce gtx 46011:49
yofelacutally, try 'sudo jockey-text'11:49
yofelah, that should be nvidia-current then11:49

slooksterpsvhey all, I have a question, what package do I need to reconfigure if no effects are showing in the Desktop Effects setting?20:54
webohHow does one install KDE in Ubuntu?20:56
webohdo I need Kubuntu instead?20:59
BluesKajweboh, install kubuntu-desktop20:59
slooksterpsvthere's a couple of ways weboh, you can install kubuntu-desktop via the terminal (or search for it in Software Center)20:59
BluesKajslooksterpsv, which graphics card ?20:59
slooksterpsvati radeon 4200 HD IGP21:00
slooksterpsvit says Desktop Effects are enabled, but: Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues: but nothing listed after21:01
slooksterpsvalso it lets me do compositing of xrendr, but I want opengl21:03
BluesKajslooksterpsv, lok in the kmenu/sytem/additional hardware drivers , choose the recommended driver if you have a choice there21:03
slooksterpsvdoesn't jockey find fglrx though? I've installed the fglrx ran aticonfig --initial -f and also put some optimizations for firefox in xorg21:04
slooksterpsvyup it's installed21:04
BluesKajok which kubuntu version ?21:04
slooksterpsv10.10 64-bit, kde 4.5.1, all upgrades 2.6.35-25 kernel21:05
slooksterpsvhmm... I'm going to use the backports and upgrade to 4.6 see if that helps any21:07
BluesKajslooksterpsv, is that a pci card?21:08
slooksterpsvno, laptop, gateway nv5321:09

FloodBotK2doido: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.21:11
doidodv21:11
slooksterpsvok so KDE 4.6 made no difference21:26
slooksterpsvso under Desktop Effects -> All effects, nothing is listed there, which is odd, cause it did have like accessibility, etc. etc.21:29
BluesKajslooksterpsv, my old pc with ati inboard didn't run the desktop effects either , the driver wasn't configured to do 3d and dri , unlike the fglrx drivers in previous versions ,like 9.04  I think was the last one21:30
slooksterpsvok... but with Compiz 3d effects work fine, the glxgears shows at least a 500% improvment with the ati drivers vs not, and that, so is it an issue with kwin and the ati driver then?21:31
BluesKajati's support for linux has been going downhill for quite a while now21:31
slooksterpsvkde wise, no offense, cause ATI Drivers in Ubuntu and Xubuntu work great, KDE is the one WM I've had tons of issues with21:32
slooksterpsvI guess DE would stand better, cause technically it is a DE with a WM included21:32
BluesKajslooksterpsv, what about fglxgears , the 6 sided cube which indicates dri and 3d is enabled ?21:33
slooksterpsvhaven't done that one21:33
slooksterpsvbb in about 1021:34
macothe kwin devs have talked to X devs and gotten them to start adding the parts of the X API that they use to their performance testing, instead of them only testing the parts Compiz uses, so things should improve in the next release or two21:34
BluesKajmaco, he has apoint , I recall the gnome desktop and gdm was much better with the fglrx drivers on ati conboards21:36

mantisein my kde screen saver i have a opengl scren savers pack at the moment23:54
james147westmi49319: for a specific file type the easiest way is to right click a file of that type > propertities > click the spanner icon on the general page (its a little small :p) and set it there23:54
Mase_wkwestmi49319: system settings -> file associations23:54
