[00:09] yep === joshua__ is now known as Linkmaster [00:41] 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] so it seems i'm having trouble updating kubuntu, any help? [00:48] 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] the details are "subprocess installed post-installtion script returned error exit status 1" [00:51] hi [00:52] hi [00:52] hi alan___ [01:00] I am having trouble getting access to root. [01:01] I am also having trouble getting anything other than gnome for a desktop [01:01] sound familar? [01:06] weboh: (K)ubuntu does not use a root account by design. [01:06] interesting [01:07] perhaps, I should have used slackware. [01:07] Perhaps :) [01:07] but slackware you have to compile everything. gag [01:08] 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] what for updates, check if (K)ubuntu supports has the package etc. [01:10] weboh: in commandline usually: apt-cache search [01:10] weboh: sudo apt-get update is to fetch latest package list === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [01:14] player media sugestion? [01:16] kaffeine [01:16] vlc is also good [01:20] i need something like itunes [01:25] diego_: If just for music, amarok likely [01:26] oh ok thanks [01:26] another question how can i increase the icons in desktop? [01:27] in system settings you can specify stuff like icon size, spacing,fonts, etc [01:28] I think under Workspace Appearance [01:32] ... /home/mike/.kde//share/config/dolphinc ...not writable.. [01:33] FloridaGuy: sudo chown -r mike:mike ~/.kde [01:34] genii-around: chown: invalid option -- 'r' [01:35] FloridaGuy: use -R then [01:36] where is trash icon at? [01:36] genii-around: fixed....thank you.......what would have caused that....its a fresh install [01:36] FloridaGuy: Also if you need to run dolphin with elevated priveleges, should use: kdesudo dolphin [01:37] FloridaGuy: Usually by doing something like sudo instead of using kdesudo for kde or so on [01:37] genii-around: thats how i been doing it.....but just opening dolphin as normal user...was giving me that message [01:38] FloridaGuy: If you use just sudo, it's not smart enough to know that the dolphinrc file should belong to "mike" or whoever === nuke is now known as Guest52291 === Guest52291 is now known as nuke_ === nuke_ is now known as nuk-ed [01:40] genii-around: but i wasent opening with as root....i was just opening as a normal user..and geting that message [01:41] hi [01:42] FloridaGuy: Well, whatever caused it, was a permissions issue :) You know now how you can recover from it [01:43] genii-around: now after doing ... sudo chown -R mike:mike ~/.kde ... systen settings wont open [01:44] FloridaGuy: Likely some cached files belong to another user. Try logging out/back in [01:44] that isent any other user for this system...just me [01:45] FloridaGuy: If you just issue: whoami what does it say? [01:45] mike [01:47] 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] genii-around: isent system settings...kde control center..kcc === ubuntu is now known as GinoMan [01:49] * genii-around makes more coffee [01:49] genii-around: works now [01:50] Yup === genii-around_ is now known as genii-around === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [02:25] 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] How can i execute a script? [02:47] diego_: make it exectable then ./script.sh [02:48] like this? ./script.sh in konsole? [02:48] might wwant to use a shebang first line [02:50] eg: #!/bin/sh or so [02:54] so if my script.sh file is in /home/diego/Documentos/ [02:54] in konsole i need to write first "cd /home/diego/Documentos/" [02:54] then? [02:56] diego_: then like ./script.sh [02:56] Or just use entire path at start [02:56] nothin.. i put ./script.sh and nothin happened [02:57] diego_: What was it supposed to do? [02:58] this is the script [02:58] echo "emerald --replace | compiz" > ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh [02:58] chmod 777 ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh [02:58] !pastebin [02:58] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/561720/ [03:02] diego_: If it just came back to the prompt, odds are it ran fine [03:03] i will see im going to restart my laptop [03:08] it works! thanks [03:26] genii-around: it didnt work :( [03:27] 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] :( [03:38] that sucks because everytime when i start kubuntu i need to put in konsole "emerald –replace | compiz" [04:11] is there anything I can do to eliminate my connection getting bogged down and disconnecting in kubuntu 10.10? [04:11] it's a broadcom 4328 [04:11] wlan [04:12] it only happens when I'm at school, not at home... I can't figure out what it is [04:14] 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 === genii-around_ is now known as genii-around [04:15] or if I don't get some idea on how to approach the problem (right tools, etc) [04:18] how can i get compiz at Kubuntu start? [04:28] diego_: you need enable integration [04:28] how can i do that? [04:29] in ccsm search preferences need be there and enable it [04:30] it is enabled [04:31] then? [04:35] ummm try this in console [04:35] $ cat ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh [04:35] compiz --replace & [04:36] emerald --replace & [04:37] $: Command not found [04:37] wrong sorry [04:37] my mistake [04:38] i copypaste wrong [04:38] this is the result [04:38] diego_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:38] emerald --replace | compiz of at ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh [04:40] i will see [04:40] $ this you already have it just interval [04:41] dont type it twice [04:47] i know was my mistake [04:47] i restart my pc and nothin happened [04:47] i need to open the konsole and put compiz --replace :/ [04:52] so? what's the solution? [04:53] ok check this page something with your settings is wrong [04:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [04:54] 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] 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] i will see brb === genii-around_ is now known as genii-around [05:11] diego_: Getting anywhere? [05:11] worse [05:11] :( [05:12] i wanna attach a photo [05:12] how can i do? [05:12] Use somewhere like a photo pastebin [05:12] hangon [05:13] diego_: Like http://www.tinypic.com [05:14] if u see the image i dont have the close and minimize button xD [05:15] http://i56.tinypic.com/waoeaw.png [05:17] diego_: What did you put for the: Exec= part of the .desktop file? [05:18] what it says here [05:18] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz#Method_1_-_Autostart_Link [05:19] Bah. I should have clarified to put the emerald [05:20] diego : do you have instaled kde window decorator [05:21] now i started with compiz but i dont have my close and minimize buttons [05:22] ok install kde window decorator [05:22] diego_: Exec=emerald --replace | compiz [05:24] genii-around: where? [05:24] iulian_: from? [05:24] in kpackagekit [05:25] compiz kde [05:25] 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] that is window manager like emerald [05:25] iulian_: it is install [05:27] * genii-around makes more coffee [05:27] in ccsm window decorator is enabled ? [05:29] julian_: yes [05:30] iulian_: yes [05:30] genii-around: done now restart? [05:31] Hopefully [05:31] ok brb [05:33] omg.. u are god!! im going to restart again but this restart works [05:33] brb [05:36] nope it didnt work this time [05:36] but now i have my close and minimize buttons again :) [05:37] suggestions? [05:38] diego_: Please pastebin the .desktop file you made [05:38] oki doki [05:40] * genii-around amuses himself by watching the tag-team bots [05:41] I see this is not a form of entertainment unique to #ubuntu. [05:41] http://paste.kde.org/4018/ [05:42] diego_: For starters, remove the first line [05:43] ok now? [05:43] diego_: Second, line 6 should be: Exec=/usr/bin/compiz emerald --replace [05:44] ok now? [05:44] good morning [05:44] diego_: Put a # at start of line 7 [05:45] diego_: Then save the file and re-test [05:45] brb [05:45] * genii-around slides noaXess a coffee [05:45] genii-around: thanks ;) [05:45] np :) [05:45] i think my power management works not as it should.. [05:46] i disabled screen energy saving but after few minutes screen turn off and no screensaver comes up [05:46] is there a way to check those parameters over cli? [05:48] how can i pin a package for kpackagekit? [05:48] genii-around: worse.. i dont have my close and minimize button and i didnt start with compiz [05:49] !pinning | rethus [05:49] rethus: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [05:50] genii-around: i have pin it in synaptic, but it doesn't take effekt in kpackagekit [05:50] how this systems differ [05:52] Package: xvidcap [05:52] Pin: version 1.1.7-0 [05:52] Pin-Priority: 991 [05:52] this in /etc/apt/preferences.d/xvidcap_1.1.7.0 ? [05:53] system should not upgrade to xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2 [05:53] still appear in kpackagekit [05:53] :( [05:54] diego_: Ok. Let me research a few minutes. I don't use compiz so can't test directly here [05:55] !ping [05:55] ping-pong, a fun game for all the family [05:55] Stupid cat keeps yanking my cable out :( [05:55] :) i have two of this supid cats [05:56] brb re start [05:56] ah, i got it. [05:56] echo xvidcap hold | dpkg --set-selections [05:56] so i learnd something new.. kpackagekit is useing dpkg [05:59] i dont have my close and minimize button xD [06:00] again [06:00] '_' === francisco is now known as Guest64080 [06:00] hi , i want to instal b43 since sta driver doesn't works for me [06:00] diego_: I would try for the Exec line: Exec=compiz --replace & emerald --replace & like that with the two & [06:00] kubuntu 10.10 [06:00] you would try? or me? [06:00] or both? [06:01] diego, intenta entrar a tu carpeta /home [06:01] pulsa alt+ . [06:01] luego busca la carpeta .kde [06:01] diego_: For you to edit the .desktop file and make the Exec= line as i put above [06:01] y renombrala como .kde-old [06:01] luego reinicia [06:02] genii-around: can u pastebin ur .desktop? [06:02] diego_: I don't have a compiz.desktop file. i don't use compiz. [06:02] diego_: However, you do [06:02] diego al u need is to locate .kde on your home and rename .kde-old and restart [06:03] Guest64080: That is not going to help [06:03] genii-around it works for me [06:03] !wfm\ [06:03] !wfm [06:03] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [06:03] genii-around: because i delete my desktop file because i thought it was going to be normal [06:04] diego_: Ok. I will make you one and pastebin. Please waity [06:04] ok Thanks [06:06] diego_: http://paste.kde.org/4020/ [06:07] 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] yeah i know [06:09] brb restart [06:11] noaXess: Did you try something like: xset -dpms ? [06:11] genii-around: not yet.. [06:12] noaXess: Sometimes monitors have their own builtin shutoff, that disables it [06:13] aha: DPMS (Energy Star): [06:14] Standby: 3600 Suspend: 5400 Off: 7200 [06:14] DPMS is Enabled [06:14] Monitor is On [06:14] noaXess: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:14] sorry... just three lines.. i know if each one paste three lines.. ha.. i chat to a bot ;) [06:15] genii-around: good news.. my desktop came to normal but the .desktop file doesnt work cause it didnt start with compiz [06:16] diego_: I'm currently fresh out of ideas then :( [06:16] it says that kubuntu start automatically start with kwin [06:17] is there any way to put like 4 seconds after kde is start to start the script? [06:18] diego_: You could put something like: Exec=wait 4 && compiz --replace & emerald --replace & [06:18] ok i will try [06:18] With the two & is important together after the wait 4 [06:20] it's still creatin in the 1st line this "#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open" why? [06:21] i will re start brb [06:25] genii-around: help me with this [06:25] http://paste.kde.org/4023/ [06:25] it is a script [06:25] * genii-around gets more coffee and reads [06:26] diego_: I'm not sure piping emerald --replace into compiz works. But i don't have compiz to test [06:29] brb restart [06:38] i dont know what else to do :( [06:38] 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] !autostart [06:39] Use the tool in System Settings -> (Advanced tab) Autostart, or System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown, to make programs automatically start in KDE session. See !boot for managing which non-interactive programs start at boot [06:39] Hm [06:39] diego_: are you with nvidia ? [06:40] anyone knows how to get work broadcom bcm 4311 on 10.10? [06:41] intel [06:42] is not a driver problem [06:42] it is a s.o problem [06:42] diego_: ok i think first one http://paste.kde.org/4018/ it was ok [06:43] Guest64080: Probably need the firmware from package firmware-b43-installer and then the b43 driver [06:43] just somrthing reset settings at second restart [06:43] genni-atround I already installed the driver [06:43] but the sta [06:44] B43 doen'st appears [06:44] iulian_: what do u mean?

[06:49] diego_ puedes buscar como activar compiz en ubuntu 10.10 en google [06:49] ya esta activado [06:49] tengo los super efectos [06:49] todo [06:50] diego_ la version de kde que viene con kubuntu 10.10 por fecfecto es la 4.3.5 [06:50] lo que quiero es que compiz inicie junto con kubuntu 10.10 [06:50] acaba de salir la 4.5 [06:50] en donde puedo fijarme que kde tengo?

[11:09] i just tryed to, said everything was installed, and no upgrades [11:11] mantise: you'll probably have to reset kdm as your default desktop manager: `dpkg-reconfigure kdm` [11:11] oh, gonna try that. sec [11:12] ok, did that. then just reboot and it should work ? [11:13] I think so [11:13] Ok, thanks mate [11:13] bye [11:18] rork: [11:18] didnt work [11:18] when i try to startx/kde [11:18] it says display not found [11:19] or that its not set, and cannot connect to the X server [11:24] keeps saying failed to connect to X server, no screen found [11:27] might aswell just reinstall ubuntu then [11:30] mantise: might be a graphics driver problem, I've never had that problem [11:30] yes, it says something with nvidia driver not found aswell [11:31] when im in console, can i cp a file to my windows hd? [11:31] i mean, where do i locate the harddisk [11:31] i need to mount it manuel in console ? [11:32] 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] which graphics card do you have? [11:32] Hello [11:32] hi GHH [11:33] rork: No, only floppy there. i have an nvidia geforce gtx 460 [11:34] 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] ? [11:34] i installed the driver in gnome when i had that installed, maybe it removed it when, i uninstalled gnome [11:35] I am spending about 1 month but i still can't remove the wallpaper [11:35] Can someone help me please? [11:35] rork, [11:35] GHH is that a wallpaper of the plymouth screen? [11:36] mantise: you can configure the nvidia drivers with `sudo nvidia-config` [11:36] rork, Actually i am not understanding that where it is exist but i saw this is not exist in plymouth [11:37] rork, command not found [11:37] rork, can you guess where is wallpaper is exist? [11:38] rork: i did nvidia-detector<- was the only command i could use [11:38] rork: and i got reply: none [11:38] GHH: sudo update-alternatives default.plymouth [11:38] if you want to change the splash screen [11:38] mantise: nvidia-xconfig ? [11:39] (with sudo) [11:39] if that's not there then the driver isn't installed [11:39] yofel, I have my own wallpaper which i want to use [11:40] yofel, I mean editing it manually and adding company wallpaper [11:40] oh, then the only thing I know is that you can try to edit the splash files in /lib/plymouth/ [11:42] yofel, Is it not one wallpaper? [11:43] no, it's a wallpaper I think + the theme which handles the dots, messages and input [11:43] yeah [11:43] 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] yofel, But i can not find the wallpaper in plymouth [11:43] that is my problem [11:44] I think it does support using wallpapers, but I don't know how [11:44] So is it not possible to remove or using Black screen ? [11:45] well, you can remove the 'splash' option in /etc/default/grub, that *should* give you a black screen [11:46] yofel, perhaps you are telling about the "quiet splash" but did not work [11:47] then I'm out of ideas [11:47] thanks for tried to help me [11:48] yofel: it didnt work. as su osv :) then gnome must have removed it [11:48] apt-get install nvidia-?
