[00:09] <zouz> yep
[00:41] <Legion-Lynx> Hey 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?
[00:48] <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"
[00:49] <starwind_> the details are "subprocess installed post-installtion script returned error exit status 1"
[00:51] <chandujs> hi
[00:52] <chandujs> hi
[00:52] <chandujs> hi alan___
[01:00] <weboh> I am having trouble getting access to root.
[01:01] <weboh> I am also having trouble getting anything other than gnome for a desktop
[01:01] <weboh> sound familar?
[01:06] <genii-around> weboh: (K)ubuntu does not use a root account by design.
[01:06] <weboh> interesting
[01:07] <weboh> perhaps, I should have used slackware.
[01:07] <genii-around> Perhaps :)
[01:07] <weboh> but slackware you have to compile everything. gag
[01:08] <genii-around> weboh: 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 booboos
[01:09] <weboh> what for updates, check if (K)ubuntu supports has the package etc.
[01:10] <genii-around> weboh: in commandline usually: apt-cache search <name>
[01:10] <genii-around> weboh: sudo apt-get update     is to fetch latest package list
[01:14] <diego_> player media sugestion?
[01:16] <genii-around> kaffeine
[01:16] <genii-around> vlc is also good
[01:20] <diego_> i need something like itunes
[01:25] <genii-around> diego_: If just for music, amarok likely
[01:26] <diego_> oh ok thanks
[01:26] <diego_> another question how can i increase the icons in desktop?
[01:27] <genii-around> in system settings you can specify stuff like icon size, spacing,fonts, etc
[01:28] <genii-around> I think under Workspace Appearance
[01:32] <FloridaGuy> ... /home/mike/.kde//share/config/dolphinc ...not writable..
[01:33] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: sudo chown -r mike:mike ~/.kde
[01:34] <FloridaGuy> genii-around: chown: invalid option -- 'r'
[01:35] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: use -R  then
[01:36] <diego_> where is trash icon at?
[01:36] <FloridaGuy> genii-around: fixed....thank you.......what would have caused that....its a fresh install
[01:36] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: Also if you need to run dolphin with elevated priveleges, should use: kdesudo dolphin
[01:37] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: Usually by doing something like sudo <graphical-appname-here> instead of using kdesudo for kde or so on
[01:37] <FloridaGuy> genii-around: thats how i been doing it.....but just opening dolphin as normal user...was giving me that message
[01:38] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: If you use just sudo, it's not smart enough to know that the dolphinrc file should belong to "mike" or whoever
[01:40] <FloridaGuy> genii-around: but i wasent opening with as root....i was just opening as a normal user..and geting that message
[01:41] <nuk-ed> hi
[01:42] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: Well, whatever caused it, was a permissions issue :) You know now how you can recover from it
[01:43] <FloridaGuy> genii-around: now after doing ...  sudo chown -R mike:mike ~/.kde   ... systen settings wont open
[01:44] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: Likely some cached files belong to another user. Try logging out/back in
[01:44] <FloridaGuy> that isent any other user for this system...just me
[01:45] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: If you just issue: whoami              what does it say?
[01:45] <FloridaGuy> mike
[01:47] <genii-around> FloridaGuy: I suspect still some files relating to system settings are somehow owned by root. Would still suggest logout to kdm and back in, try again
[01:47] <FloridaGuy> genii-around: isent system settings...kde control center..kcc
[01:49]  * genii-around makes more coffee
[01:49] <FloridaGuy> genii-around: works now
[01:50] <genii-around> Yup
[02:25] <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?
[02:46] <diego_> How can i execute a script?
[02:47] <sagaci> diego_: make it exectable then ./script.sh
[02:48] <diego_> like this? ./script.sh in konsole?
[02:48] <genii-around> might wwant to use a shebang first line
[02:50] <genii-around> eg: #!/bin/sh                       or so
[02:54] <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?
[02:56] <genii-around> diego_: then like ./script.sh
[02:56] <genii-around> Or just use entire path at start
[02:56] <diego_> nothin.. i put ./script.sh and nothin happened
[02:57] <genii-around> diego_: What was it supposed to do?
[02:58] <diego_> this is the script
[02:58] <diego_> echo "emerald --replace | compiz" > ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh
[02:58] <diego_> chmod 777 ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh
[02:58] <genii-around> !pastebin
[02:59] <diego_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/561720/
[03:02] <genii-around> diego_: If it just came back to the prompt, odds are it ran fine
[03:03] <diego_> i will see im going to restart my laptop
[03:08] <diego_> it works! thanks
[03:26] <diego_> genii-around: it didnt work :(
[03:27] <genii-around> diego_: 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 certain
[03:28] <diego_> :(
[03:38] <diego_> that sucks because everytime when i start kubuntu i need to put in konsole "emerald –replace | compiz"
[04:11] <DoYouKnow1> is there anything I can do to eliminate my connection getting bogged down and disconnecting in kubuntu 10.10?
[04:11] <DoYouKnow1> it's a broadcom 4328
[04:11] <DoYouKnow1> wlan
[04:12] <DoYouKnow1> it only happens when I'm at school, not at home... I can't figure out what it is
[04:14] <DoYouKnow1> for example, it's likely that if I don't get this fixed before I go to school, it would be impossible to stay connected long enough to do the research there
[04:15] <DoYouKnow1> or if I don't get some idea on how to approach the problem (right tools, etc)
[04:18] <diego_> how can i get compiz at Kubuntu start?
[04:28] <iulian_> diego_: you need enable integration
[04:28] <diego_> how can i do that?
[04:29] <iulian_> in ccsm search preferences need be there and enable it
[04:30] <diego_> it is enabled
[04:31] <diego_> then?
[04:35] <iulian_> ummm try this in console
[04:35] <iulian_> $ cat ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh
[04:35] <iulian_> compiz --replace  &
[04:36] <iulian_> emerald --replace &
[04:37] <diego_> $: Command not found
[04:37] <diego_> wrong sorry
[04:37] <diego_> my mistake
[04:38] <diego_> i copypaste wrong
[04:38] <diego_> this is the result
[04:38] <FloodBotK2> diego_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:38] <diego_> emerald --replace | compiz of at ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh
[04:40] <diego_> i will see
[04:40] <iulian_> $ this you already have it just interval
[04:41] <iulian_> dont type it twice
[04:47] <diego_> i know was my mistake
[04:47] <diego_> i restart my pc and nothin happened
[04:47] <diego_> i need to open the konsole and put compiz --replace :/
[04:52] <diego_> so? what's the solution?
[04:53] <iulian_> ok check this page something with your settings is wrong
[04:53] <iulian_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[04:54] <genii-around> diego_: I think your main prob is that there is a specific file format for stuff in Autostart and it's not a shell file
[04:56] <genii-around> diego_: 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 however
[05:00] <diego_> i will see brb
[05:11] <genii-around> diego_: Getting anywhere?
[05:11] <diego_> worse
[05:11] <diego_> :(
[05:12] <diego_> i wanna attach a photo
[05:12] <diego_> how can i do?
[05:12] <genii-around> Use somewhere like a photo pastebin
[05:12] <genii-around> hangon
[05:13] <genii-around> diego_: Like http://www.tinypic.com
[05:14] <diego_> if u see the image i dont have the close and minimize button xD
[05:15] <diego_> http://i56.tinypic.com/waoeaw.png
[05:17] <genii-around> diego_: What did you put for the: Exec=         part of the .desktop file?
[05:18] <diego_> what it says here
[05:18] <diego_> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz#Method_1_-_Autostart_Link
[05:19] <genii-around> Bah. I should have clarified to put the emerald <whatever else>
[05:20] <iulian_> diego : do you have instaled kde window decorator
[05:21] <diego_> now i started with compiz but i dont have my close and minimize buttons
[05:22] <iulian_> ok install kde window decorator
[05:22] <genii-around> diego_: Exec=emerald --replace | compiz
[05:24] <diego_> genii-around: where?
[05:24] <diego_> iulian_: from?
[05:24] <iulian_> in kpackagekit
[05:25] <iulian_> compiz kde
[05:25] <genii-around> diego_: In the compiz.desktop file example that i pointed to you earlier and told you to replace the exe3c line of it with your specific commaqnd instead of the one there
[05:25]  * genii-around breaks out the Advil
[05:25] <iulian_> that is window manager like emerald
[05:25] <diego_> iulian_: it is install
[05:27]  * genii-around makes more coffee
[05:27] <iulian_> in ccsm window decorator is enabled ?
[05:29] <diego_> julian_: yes
[05:30] <diego_> iulian_: yes
[05:30] <diego_> genii-around: done now restart?
[05:31] <genii-around> Hopefully
[05:31] <diego_> ok brb
[05:33] <diego_> omg.. u are god!! im going to restart again but this restart works
[05:33] <diego_> brb
[05:36] <diego_> nope it didnt work this time
[05:36] <diego_> but now i have my close and minimize buttons again :)
[05:37] <diego_> suggestions?
[05:38] <genii-around> diego_: Please pastebin the .desktop file you made
[05:38] <diego_> oki doki
[05:40]  * genii-around amuses himself by watching the tag-team bots
[05:41] <rww> I see this is not a form of entertainment unique to #ubuntu.
[05:41] <diego_> http://paste.kde.org/4018/
[05:42] <genii-around> diego_: For starters, remove the first line
[05:43] <diego_> ok now?
[05:43] <genii-around> diego_: Second, line 6 should be: Exec=/usr/bin/compiz emerald --replace
[05:44] <diego_> ok now?
[05:44] <noaXess> good morning
[05:44] <genii-around> diego_: Put a # at start of line 7
[05:45] <genii-around> diego_: Then save the file and re-test
[05:45] <diego_> brb
[05:45]  * genii-around slides noaXess a coffee
[05:45] <noaXess> genii-around: thanks ;)
[05:45] <genii-around> np :)
[05:45] <noaXess> i think my power management works not as it should..
[05:46] <noaXess> i disabled screen energy saving but after few minutes screen turn off and no screensaver comes up
[05:46] <noaXess> is there a way to check those parameters over cli?
[05:48] <rethus> how can i pin a package for kpackagekit?
[05:48] <diego_> genii-around: worse.. i dont have my close and minimize button and i didnt start with compiz
[05:49] <genii-around> !pinning | rethus
[05:50] <rethus> genii-around: i have pin it in synaptic, but it doesn't take effekt in kpackagekit
[05:50] <rethus> how this systems differ
[05:52] <rethus> Package: xvidcap
[05:52] <rethus> Pin: version 1.1.7-0
[05:52] <rethus> Pin-Priority: 991
[05:52] <rethus> this in /etc/apt/preferences.d/xvidcap_1.1.7.0 ?
[05:53] <rethus> system should not upgrade to xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2
[05:53] <rethus> still appear in kpackagekit
[05:53] <rethus> :(
[05:54] <genii-around> diego_: Ok. Let me research a few minutes. I don't use compiz so can't test directly here
[05:55] <genii-around> !ping
[05:55] <genii-around> Stupid cat keeps yanking my cable out :(
[05:55] <rethus> :) i have two of this supid cats
[05:56] <diego_> brb re start
[05:56] <rethus> ah, i got it.
[05:56] <rethus> echo xvidcap hold | dpkg --set-selections
[05:56] <rethus> so i learnd something new..  kpackagekit is useing dpkg
[05:59] <diego_> i dont have my close and minimize button xD
[06:00] <diego_> again
[06:00] <diego_> '_'
[06:00] <Guest64080> hi , i want to instal b43 since sta driver doesn't works for me
[06:00] <genii-around> diego_: I would try for the Exec line:   Exec=compiz --replace & emerald --replace &                like that with the two &
[06:00] <Guest64080> kubuntu 10.10
[06:00] <diego_> you would try? or me?
[06:00] <diego_> or both?
[06:01] <Guest64080> diego, intenta entrar a tu carpeta /home
[06:01] <Guest64080> pulsa alt+ .
[06:01] <Guest64080> luego busca la carpeta .kde
[06:01] <genii-around> diego_: For you to edit the .desktop file and make the Exec=   line as i put above
[06:01] <Guest64080> y renombrala como .kde-old
[06:01] <Guest64080> luego reinicia
[06:02] <diego_> genii-around: can u pastebin ur .desktop?
[06:02] <genii-around> diego_: I don't have a compiz.desktop file. i don't use compiz.
[06:02] <genii-around> diego_: However, you do
[06:02] <Guest64080> diego al u need is to locate .kde on your home and rename .kde-old and restart
[06:03] <genii-around> Guest64080: That is not going to help
[06:03] <Guest64080> genii-around it works for me
[06:03] <genii-around> !wfm\
[06:03] <genii-around> !wfm
[06:03] <diego_> genii-around: because i delete my desktop file because i thought it was going to be normal
[06:04] <genii-around> diego_: Ok. I will make you one and pastebin. Please waity
[06:04] <diego_> ok Thanks
[06:06] <genii-around> diego_: http://paste.kde.org/4020/
[06:07] <genii-around> diego_: So to make a file in ~/.kde/Autostart     called compiz.desktop      and put the contents from the pastebin into that file, save
[06:09] <diego_> yeah i know
[06:09] <diego_> brb restart
[06:11] <genii-around> noaXess: Did you try something like: xset -dpms          ?
[06:11] <noaXess> genii-around: not yet..
[06:12] <genii-around> noaXess: Sometimes monitors have their own builtin shutoff, that disables it
[06:13] <noaXess> aha: DPMS (Energy Star):
[06:14] <noaXess>   Standby: 3600    Suspend: 5400    Off: 7200
[06:14] <noaXess>   DPMS is Enabled
[06:14] <noaXess>   Monitor is On
[06:14] <FloodBotK1> noaXess: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:14] <noaXess> sorry... just three lines.. i know if each one paste three lines.. ha.. i chat to a bot ;)
[06:15] <diego_> genii-around: good news.. my desktop came to normal but the .desktop file doesnt work cause it didnt start with compiz
[06:16] <genii-around> diego_: I'm currently fresh out of ideas then :(
[06:16] <diego_> it says that kubuntu start automatically start with kwin
[06:17] <diego_> is there any way to put like 4 seconds after kde is start to start the script?
[06:18] <genii-around> diego_: You could put something like:  Exec=wait 4 && compiz --replace & emerald --replace &
[06:18] <diego_> ok i will try
[06:18] <genii-around> With the two & is important together after the wait 4
[06:20] <diego_> it's still creatin in the 1st line this "#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open" why?
[06:21] <diego_> i will re start brb
[06:25] <diego_> genii-around: help me with this
[06:25] <diego_> http://paste.kde.org/4023/
[06:25] <diego_> it is a script
[06:25]  * genii-around gets more coffee and reads
[06:26] <genii-around> diego_: I'm not sure piping emerald --replace into compiz works. But i don't have compiz to test
[06:29] <diego_> brb restart
[06:38] <diego_> i dont know what else to do :(
[06:38] <genii-around> diego_: I'm also out of immediate ideas. Also it's 1:38 in the morning here so I'm not very sharp right now
[06:39] <genii-around> !autostart
[06:39] <genii-around> Hm
[06:39] <iulian_> diego_: are you with nvidia ?
[06:40] <Guest64080> anyone knows how to get work broadcom bcm 4311 on 10.10?
[06:41] <diego_> intel
[06:42] <diego_> is not a driver problem
[06:42] <diego_> it is a s.o problem
[06:42] <iulian_> diego_: ok i think first one http://paste.kde.org/4018/ it was ok
[06:43] <genii-around> Guest64080: Probably need the firmware from package firmware-b43-installer and then the b43 driver
[06:43] <iulian_> just somrthing reset settings at second restart
[06:43] <Guest64080> genni-atround I already installed the driver
[06:43] <Guest64080> but the sta
[06:44] <Guest64080> B43 doen'st appears
[06:44] <diego_> iulian_: what do u mean?
[06:44] <Guest64080> genii-around
[06:44] <iulian_> at first start everything was fine second reset why
[06:44] <diego_> dunno :S
[06:45] <diego_> im newbie in linux a few days decided to change to linux so i dunno any script and those things
[06:45] <Guest64080> diego_ whats your problem
[06:46] <diego_> i want kubuntu starts with compiz
[06:46] <Guest64080> diego_ kubuntu has his own effects manager
[06:46] <Guest64080> kwin
[06:46] <diego_> i know but that can change
[06:46] <Guest64080> ok
[06:46] <diego_> that's why its free software
[06:47] <diego_> :D
[06:47] <Guest64080> diego hablas español?
[06:47] <diego_> Claro soy de bolivia
[06:47] <Guest64080> mira, diego
[06:47] <user0> 123
[06:47] <Guest64080> la verdad yo una vez le metí compiz a kubuntu y se veía feo
[06:47] <Guest64080> me quedo mil veces con kwin
[06:47] <Guest64080> y si tienes la version 10.10 de ubuntu
[06:48] <Guest64080> puedes actualizar tu escritorio kde a la version 4.6
[06:48] <diego_> ps a mi me gustan mas los efectos que tiene compiz que kwin
[06:48] <user0> ))
[06:48] <Guest64080> y tendras un escritorio por demas precioso
[06:48] <genii-around> Guest64080: I'm pretty sure whatever driver you use, you need the firmware. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43 for example says to use the b43-fwcutter  package for instance
[06:49] <diego_> Guest64080: yo creo que uso esa version de kde pero bueno.. cada uno con sus gustos no?
[06:49] <Guest64080> diego_ puedes buscar como activar compiz en ubuntu 10.10 en google
[06:49] <diego_> ya esta activado
[06:49] <diego_> tengo los super efectos
[06:49] <diego_> todo
[06:50] <Guest64080> diego_ la version de kde que viene con kubuntu 10.10 por fecfecto es la 4.3.5
[06:50] <diego_> lo que quiero es que compiz inicie junto con kubuntu 10.10
[06:50] <Guest64080> acaba de salir la 4.5
[06:50] <diego_> en donde puedo fijarme que kde tengo?
[06:50] <Guest64080> abre cualquier aplicacion
[06:50] <Guest64080> como amarok o la que sea

[10:16] <skramer_> which package do I have to install to get back the default KDM Login screen?
[11:04] <mantise> Hi
[11:04] <mantise> i just did a purekde
[11:05] <mantise> to remove gnome from my system
[11:05] <mantise> after i rebooted, no desktop is starting up ^
[11:05] <mantise> i only get into the tty login screens
[11:08] <mantise> if i wanna reinstall kde from console
[11:08] <mantise> can i just do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ?
[11:09] <mantise> i just tryed to, said everything was installed, and no upgrades
[11:11] <rork> mantise: you'll probably have to reset kdm as your default desktop manager: `dpkg-reconfigure kdm`
[11:11] <mantise> oh, gonna try that. sec
[11:12] <mantise> ok, did that. then just reboot and it should work ?
[11:13] <rork> I think so
[11:13] <mantise> Ok, thanks mate
[11:13] <mantise> bye
[11:18] <mantise> rork:
[11:18] <mantise> didnt work
[11:18] <mantise> when i try to startx/kde
[11:18] <mantise> it says display not found
[11:19] <mantise> or that its not set, and cannot connect to the X server
[11:24] <mantise> keeps saying failed to connect to X server, no screen found
[11:27] <mantise> might aswell just reinstall ubuntu then
[11:30] <rork> mantise: might be a graphics driver problem, I've never had that problem
[11:30] <mantise> yes, it says something with nvidia driver not found aswell
[11:31] <mantise> when im in console, can i cp a file to my windows hd?
[11:31] <mantise> i mean, where do i locate the harddisk
[11:31] <mantise> i need to mount it manuel in console ?
[11:32] <rork> you can do `ls /media` to check if it's mounted, if it's not you'll have to do a manual mount
[11:32] <rork> which graphics card do you have?
[11:32] <GHH> Hello
[11:32] <rork> hi GHH
[11:33] <mantise> rork: No, only floppy there. i have an nvidia geforce gtx 460
[11:34] <GHH> I 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.png
[11:34] <GHH> ?
[11:34] <mantise> i installed the driver in gnome when i had that installed, maybe it removed it when, i uninstalled gnome
[11:35] <GHH> I am spending about 1 month but i still can't remove the wallpaper
[11:35] <GHH> Can someone help me please?
[11:35] <GHH> rork,
[11:35] <rork> GHH is that a wallpaper of the plymouth screen?
[11:36] <rork> mantise: you can configure the nvidia drivers with `sudo nvidia-config`
[11:36] <GHH> rork, Actually i am not understanding that where it is exist but i saw this is not exist in plymouth
[11:37] <mantise> rork, command not found
[11:37] <GHH> rork, can you guess where is wallpaper is exist?
[11:38] <mantise> rork: i did nvidia-detector<- was the only command i could use
[11:38] <mantise> rork: and i got reply: none
[11:38] <yofel> GHH: sudo update-alternatives default.plymouth
[11:38] <yofel> if you want to change the splash screen
[11:38] <yofel> mantise: nvidia-xconfig ?
[11:39] <yofel> (with sudo)
[11:39] <yofel> if that's not there then the driver isn't installed
[11:39] <GHH> yofel, I have my own wallpaper which i want to use
[11:40] <GHH> yofel, I mean editing it manually and adding company wallpaper
[11:40] <yofel> oh, then the only thing I know is that you can try to edit the splash files in /lib/plymouth/
[11:42] <GHH> yofel, Is it not one wallpaper?
[11:43] <yofel> no, it's a wallpaper I think + the theme which handles the dots, messages and input
[11:43] <GHH> yeah
[11:43] <yofel> but I think the background can also be rendered by setting a color gradient in the theme, so no wallpaper at all if that's used
[11:43] <GHH> yofel, But i can not find the wallpaper in plymouth
[11:43] <GHH> that is my problem
[11:44] <yofel> I think it does support using wallpapers, but I don't know how
[11:44] <GHH> So is it not possible to remove or using Black screen ?
[11:45] <yofel> well, you can remove the 'splash' option in /etc/default/grub, that *should* give you a black screen
[11:46] <GHH> yofel, perhaps you are telling about the "quiet splash" but did not work
[11:47] <yofel> then I'm out of ideas
[11:47] <GHH> thanks for tried to help me
[11:48] <mantise> yofel: it didnt work. as su osv :) then gnome must have removed it
[11:48] <mantise> apt-get install nvidia-?
[11:48] <yofel> mantise: which driver did you have installed?
[11:49] <mantise> well, when i had gnome, it found an nvidia driver for geforce gtx 460
[11:49] <yofel> acutally, try 'sudo jockey-text'
[11:49] <yofel> ah, that should be nvidia-current then
[11:50] <mantise> ok, searching atm
[11:50] <mantise> yofel: when i do jockey-text, it takes a minut
[11:50] <mantise> but nothing happens
[11:51] <mantise> just gonna try apt-get install nvidia-current then ?
[11:51] <yofel> yep
[11:51] <yofel> after that run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig'
[11:53] <mantise> validation error
[11:53] <mantise> data incomplete in file
[11:53] <mantise> xorg.conf
[11:54] <mantise> undefined device"(null)"
[11:54] <yofel> sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:54] <yofel> then try again
[11:54] <mantise> referenced by screen "default screen"
[11:54] <mantise> ok
[11:55] <mantise> ok, made new file now
[11:55] <mantise> and did the nvidia xconfig
[11:55] <mantise> gonna try a reboot, and see if it works then? or just starkde or something ?
[11:57] <mantise> hm, still looks like it doesnt work.. ill do a reboot, brb
[12:00] <mantise> it worked after a reboot :) thanks a lot mate :)
[12:03] <mantise> hm, isnt ther the software manager in kubuntu ?
[12:09] <GHH> So is there ending helping me about that?
[12:22] <tdn> Is anyone using Kubuntu 10.04? Will you check what version kile is in that distro? apt-cache show kile
[12:37] <mandla> Hey guys apart from DIA what else is available for ERD modeling?
[12:37] <skramer_> tdn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/kile
[12:38] <skramer_> tdn: packages.ubuntu.com is always a good place if you are looking for package information

[15:22] <utku> How can I change DPI manually? I tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it doesn't exist.
[15:24] <BluesKaj> utku, system settings/application appearance /.fonts / forcefonts dpi
[15:25] <utku> BluesKaj: Well, I don't want 120 or 96.

[15:39] <thrall_> using "sudo xxd /dev/input/event8" I expected to see data from mouse input. instead it does nothing. Have I misunderstood? (event8 is handler for my mouse according to /proc/bus/input/devices)
[15:42] <BluesKaj> thrall_, what are you trying to do ?
[15:45] <thrall_> BluesKaj: Well I'm actually trying to set up a wacom tablet. Part of the process says to test the tablet input with xxd. getting nothing from the tablet event I thought I'd try it on the mouse (which I know works)
[15:47] <BluesKaj> thrall_, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if you have one to see what the input device mouse settings are.
[15:47] <thrall_> BluesKaj: I have no xorg.conf file
[15:52] <CoJaBo> does anyone know how to fix the "network management disabled" error?
[15:53] <CoJaBo> where network manager gets stick on that ind won't function
[15:53] <BluesKaj> thrall_, ok you have to drop to a tty , ctrl+alt+f1 , then login , sudo service kdm stop , then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , if you have an nvidia card then, sudo nvidia-xconfig , then sudo service kdm start , then startx
[15:54] <BluesKaj> CoJaBo, are you on wifi or ethernet ?
[15:56] <fixman> heh
[16:01] <BluesKaj> WirelessEnabled=trueCoJaBo, alt+f2 , kdesudo kate /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state, make sure :  NetworkingEnabled=true , WWANEnabled=true
[16:02] <BluesKaj> WirelessEnabled=true
[16:02] <CoJaBo> BluesKaj:  yeh, that's what google said too..
[16:02] <S3Indiana> Is there an isssue with the Kubuntu forum Getting an error: Service Unavailable
[16:02] <thrall_> BluesKaj: What should be different now I have done as you said?
[16:03] <BluesKaj> CoJaBo, I took those from my settings
[16:03] <S3Indiana> http://www.kubuntuforums.net/
[16:04] <BluesKaj> did you see a xorg.conf file generated afrter those commands , thrall_ ?
[16:04] <thrall_> BluesKaj: no
[16:05] <thrall_> BluesKaj: I thought xorg.conf was no longer used?
[16:06] <BluesKaj> thrall_, open the the run box (alt+f2) , kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to see the settings
[16:06] <thrall_> BluesKaj: /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist
[16:07] <BluesKaj> thrall_, it is used in special circumstances like ppl who tablets
[16:07] <BluesKaj> have
[16:07] <thrall_> BluesKaj: I know, but I don't currently have one to look at
[16:07] <CoJaBo> BluesKaj: Yeh, I might just restore from backup, hopefully i have one :/
[16:08] <BluesKaj> thrall_, did you drop to a tty to run those commands or did you just usw the cli ?
[16:08] <thrall_> dropped to tty
[16:08] <thrall_> BluesKaj:
[16:09] <BluesKaj> CoJaBo, you still din't answer my question, wifi or ethernet ?
[16:09] <BluesKaj> thrall_, strange
[16:10] <BluesKaj> thrall_, what graphics card ?
[16:10] <thrall_> BluesKaj: Intel GMA950
[16:10] <thrall_> BluesKaj: So I didn't run the nvidia-xconfig
[16:11] <BluesKaj> right
[16:14] <BluesKaj> ok, dunno what else to do thrall_ ...not real knowledgeable about tablet computing and I suppose you've already been here :http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
[16:15] <S3Indiana> No one else experiencing an issue with the Kubuntu forum?
[16:15] <thrall_> BluesKaj: yeah that was where I got to xxd from.
[16:16] <BluesKaj> S3Indiana, http://www.kubuntuforum.org/ , "no service available"
[16:17] <S3Indiana> Yup same here
[16:17] <S3Indiana> Thx. for verifying

[16:23] <xrfang> hi mobile broadband tab is not usable on my knetworkmanager, how to fix it? thanks
[16:25] <BluesKaj> xrfang, pls explain,useable
[16:25] <xrfang> BluesKaj: the tab is disabled (gray)
[16:25] <xrfang> I have googled, and installed modemanager (which was already there actually)
[16:26] <xrfang> I am 100% sure that my usb modem is compatible with linux. I have used that before, both under kde and gnome
[16:26] <xrfang> but haven't used that for some days, now it seems not recognizing the hardware, or I am missing some software package? I don't know
[16:27] <BluesKaj>  xrfang , broadband tab, not familiar with that one
[16:27] <xrfang> :( ok
[16:29] <BluesKaj> usb modem is wifi or ethernet , xrfang, I'm a bit confused
[16:30] <Guest25832>  /join #dondetuhermana
[16:32] <xrfang> BluesKaj: it is not wifi nor ethernet
[16:32] <xrfang> it is 3G mobile network
[16:39] <BluesKaj> xrfang, sorta suspected that ...no wonder I was confused :) ..sorry dunno much about phone surfing
[16:40] <CoJaBo> BluesKaj: Actually i did answer, but it went to the wrong channel -_-' wifi.
[16:43] <BluesKaj> CoJaBo, so where are you now in terms of connecting ?
[16:54] <CoJaBo> BluesKaj: Going to reimage the machine when i get home
[16:55] <CoJaBo> Seems to be the simplest way to fix it, i have no idea whats messed up
[16:59] <thrall_> BluesKaj: seems the tablet part of xorg.conf is now in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf
[17:09] <cole> What if I installed one version of an application via the apt-get and then a more recent version by downloading a .deb and installing it, would the se
[17:09] <cole> Would this be safe?
[17:18] <busyfingers> hi folks can anyone assisit with a probe with  updates?
[17:18] <busyfingers> probem rather, sorry, will have to get that M key sortd out.lol
[17:24] <tborras> \join #debian
[17:45] <thrall__> W00T! Tablet now working perfectly! Pressure and everything!!
[17:45]  * thrall__ bounces happily round the room
[17:56] <Guest80490> Can't we install KDE 4.6 on Lucid?
[17:58] <Peace-> Guest80490: guess no
[18:01] <Guest80490> Peace, yes I see :D I mean, why can't it be installed? Also, I won't be able to install 4.7 and 4.8 as well..
[18:05] <yofel> raffaeleeee: that sould require some system core library updates to get working properly that nobody wants to do and support
[18:09] <thrall_> This seems most odd: creating  the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf (in an attempt to fix issues with double-monitor setup resetting on reboot) has caused my wacom tablet (which should be configured according to the pre-existing /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf) to work properly. Remove 10-monitors.conf and the tablet stops working. put 10-monitors.conf back, it starts working again. Can anyone offer an explanation of what is going
[18:09] <thrall_> on?
[18:12] <Peace-> raffaeleeee: welll.. a stable realese = fixed version
[18:15] <raffaeleeee> Peace, ok thx for your explanation. I though only the major version should stay the same (4.x)
[18:36] <diego_> Someone knows how to start compiz with kubuntu?
[18:37] <yofel> install compiz-kde and select it in system settings -> default applications. My knowledge stops there
[18:45] <rosco_y> what is the *VERY BEST* music player?
[18:46] <rosco_y> as in numero uno
[18:46] <rosco_y> (I'm wondering which one I should install)
[18:46] <Peace-> rosco_y: mmm
[18:46] <Peace-> rosco_y: veryt best depends from you
[18:46] <Peace-> i use vlc..
[18:47] <Peace-> someone use juk

[18:47] <rosco_y> interesting

[18:58] <george_> hello! how can I share internet connection on Kubuntu 10.10?
[19:01] <george_> hello friends? how can I share internet connection on kubuntu 10.10?
[19:09] <areichman> george_: share with another computer?
[19:09] <raffaeleeee> george_ can you explain better?
[19:11] <george_> yes, share a wired connection or a 3G modem internet connection with another computer/laptop by creating an ad hoc  wi-fi network. It's very easy to do that on ubuntu 10.10, but I can't find how to do it on kubuntu 10.10.
[19:12] <raffaeleeee> is the kubuntu machine connected to internet?
[19:13] <george_> yes, i'm running kubuntu 10.10, I'm connected to the internet using a 3G modem
[19:19] <diego_> yofel: it starts with compiz but it start with an error of kde :S
[19:20] <yofel> well, I don't know really, I found compiz-kde too unstable to be actually usable when I tried it once to be honest
[19:21] <raffaeleeee> george_, what GUI program do you use?
[19:22] <Peace-> yofel: compiz-kde?
[19:23] <Peace-> yofel: here there is kwin effects
[19:30] <george_> raffaeleee: I've tried to find the its name, but couldn't. It's the default one, its symbol is like a blue "m"
[19:32] <raffaeleeee> george_ ok, so it's network manager
[19:32] <raffaeleeee> KDE version.. I think it should have an option
[19:32] <raffaeleeee> for creating an ad-hoc network
[19:32] <raffaeleeee> can you find it?, george_
[19:34] <george_> raffaeleee: I can't find it the option to create an ad-hoc network...
[19:35] <raffaeleeee> hmmm george_, i'm googling for screenshots :/ hold on
[19:35] <raffaeleeee> I use wicd even on KDE because I have problems with NM
[19:37] <george_> raffaeleee: thanks...
[19:38] <raffaeleeee> george_, you could try joining #nm and asking there, cause I can't find screenshots
[19:40] <george_> raffaeleee: thanks anyway...
[19:45] <george_> raffaeleee: Thanks. I''l try. It would be nice if  NM had the option to easily create an ad-hoc network, just like ubuntu...
[19:46] <raffaeleeee> george_ NetworkManager has 2 frontends, one for GNOME and one for KDE.. I think the gnome version has the ad-hoc option, I'm not sure about the kde one..
[19:48] <george_> raffaeleee: kde one doesn't have it, at least is not "visible"
[19:48] <raffaeleeee> george_ not good news :D anyway I think it's easy to create an ad-hoc network just with CLI
[19:48] <raffaeleeee> wait for a moment
[19:50] <raffaeleeee> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/creating-wireless-ad-hoc-networks-on-linux-boxes-614579/
[19:50] <raffaeleeee> george_ try this link
[19:52] <george_> raffaeleee: all right thanks
[19:52] <george_> raffaeleee: i'll check that later. thanks for your help. bye
[20:54] <slooksterpsv> hey all, I have a question, what package do I need to reconfigure if no effects are showing in the Desktop Effects setting?
[20:56] <weboh> How does one install KDE in Ubuntu?
[20:59] <weboh> do I need Kubuntu instead?
[20:59] <BluesKaj> weboh, install kubuntu-desktop
[20:59] <slooksterpsv> there's a couple of ways weboh, you can install kubuntu-desktop via the terminal (or search for it in Software Center)
[20:59] <BluesKaj> slooksterpsv, which graphics card ?
[21:00] <slooksterpsv> ati radeon 4200 HD IGP
[21:01] <slooksterpsv> it says Desktop Effects are enabled, but: Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues: but nothing listed after
[21:03] <slooksterpsv> also it lets me do compositing of xrendr, but I want opengl
[21:03] <BluesKaj> slooksterpsv, lok in the kmenu/sytem/additional hardware drivers , choose the recommended driver if you have a choice there
[21:04] <slooksterpsv> doesn't jockey find fglrx though? I've installed the fglrx ran aticonfig --initial -f and also put some optimizations for firefox in xorg
[21:04] <slooksterpsv> yup it's installed
[21:04] <BluesKaj> ok which kubuntu version ?
[21:05] <slooksterpsv> 10.10 64-bit, kde 4.5.1, all upgrades 2.6.35-25 kernel
[21:07] <slooksterpsv> hmm... I'm going to use the backports and upgrade to 4.6 see if that helps any
[21:08] <BluesKaj> slooksterpsv, is that a pci card?
[21:09] <slooksterpsv> no, laptop, gateway nv53
[21:11] <doido> vdvdvdvd
[21:11] <doido> vd
[21:11] <doido> vd
[21:11] <doido> vd
[21:11] <doido> v
[21:11] <FloodBotK2> doido: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:11] <doido> dv
[21:26] <slooksterpsv> ok so KDE 4.6 made no difference
[21:29] <slooksterpsv> so under Desktop Effects -> All effects, nothing is listed there, which is odd, cause it did have like accessibility, etc. etc.
[21:30] <BluesKaj> slooksterpsv, 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 one
[21:31] <slooksterpsv> ok... 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] <BluesKaj> ati's support for linux has been going downhill for quite a while now
[21:32] <slooksterpsv> kde wise, no offense, cause ATI Drivers in Ubuntu and Xubuntu work great, KDE is the one WM I've had tons of issues with
[21:32] <slooksterpsv> I guess DE would stand better, cause technically it is a DE with a WM included
[21:33] <BluesKaj> slooksterpsv, what about fglxgears , the 6 sided cube which indicates dri and 3d is enabled ?
[21:33] <slooksterpsv> haven't done that one
[21:34] <slooksterpsv> bb in about 10
[21:34] <maco> the 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 two
[21:36] <BluesKaj> maco, he has apoint , I recall the gnome desktop and gdm was much better with the fglrx drivers on ati conboards
[21:36] <BluesKaj> onboards
[21:45] <slooksterpsv> nope none of it worked
[21:46] <slooksterpsv> so BluesKaj, what package installs the effects for KDE
[21:47] <BluesKaj> slooksterpsv, it used to be an altered version of compiz , but now I'm not sure

[23:47] <Realmkeeper> Greetings...
[23:49] <Realmkeeper> From: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/NattyNarwhal/Alpha2/Kubuntu ... "Kubuntu will release version 11.04, the Natty Narwhal, in April 2010." ... Shouldn't that be "in April 2011"
[23:49] <Mase_wk> nup
[23:49] <Mase_wk> they will go back in time
[23:49] <Mase_wk> and release it then...
[23:50] <Mase_wk> it's just they haven't done it yet
[23:50] <Mase_wk> so we don't know about it. all part of the plan... =)
[23:50] <Realmkeeper> Ah, okay. Well, I do LOVE my time machine. See you all in April, 2010!
[23:50] <Mase_wk> natty is looking good.
[23:51] <Mase_wk> Realmkeeper: but yes, i guess someone should file a bug with the website and request they change it to 2011.
[23:52] <mantise> Hi
[23:52] <Mase_wk> Hi mantise
[23:52] <mantise> i installed a screen saver pack for kde
[23:52] <mantise> default pack
[23:52] <westmi49319> how do I make a program the default?
[23:53] <mantise> but i want the matrix screensaver as i had in old desktop
[23:53] <mantise> how can i get that for kde control module - screen saver
[23:53] <Mase_wk> i think it's the gl matrix screensaver
[23:53] <Mase_wk> or gl screensavers
[23:53] <westmi49319> I wanna make ktorrent the default when i click a torrent
[23:54] <mantise> in my kde screen saver i have a opengl scren savers pack at the moment
[23:54] <james147> westmi49319: 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 there
[23:54] <Mase_wk> westmi49319: system settings -> file associations
[23:55] <james147> westmi49319: you can also go to system settings > file association  and look for the file type there
[23:55] <Realmkeeper> Mase_wk: I was just hoping that one of the webmins will just see the comment here ;)
[23:56] <Mase_wk> Realmkeeper: i doubt it.
[23:57] <mantise> Mase_wk: i can see that i have xscreensaver-gl installed, but it doesnt run with my kde screen saver panel ?
[23:57] <Mase_wk> if you want something fixed, irc isn't the way to do it
[23:57] <smiffla> this is my first irc, who's proud of me?
[23:57] <Mase_wk> mantise: have you logged in / out since installing it ?
[23:58] <westmi49319> hmm..so what type of file is a torrent?
[23:58] <mantise> Mase_wk: it just told me to shut down the screensaver manager
[23:58] <mantise> restart the program
[23:58] <Mase_wk> smiffla: probably your mother and father. I have a son, i am proud of him for every little achievement
[23:58] <Mase_wk> so i imagine your parents are the same
[23:58] <Mase_wk> mantise: not sure sorry
[23:58] <mantise> Mase_wk: np, thanks :)
[23:59] <smiffla> Mase_wk: that goes without saying, but they're not irc :(
