binaryBah does anybody know why I am not able to apply themes in emerald? I installed compiz etc and I still can't just select a theme and have it change.01:10
macoerm....because emerald is buggy as hell and hasnt been supported or maintained in at least 3 years?01:11
binaryWell that's one answer. Not the one I am looking for but none theless a answer.01:12
binaryYou use compiz fusion instead?01:12
macoemerald is just a window decorator for beryl (which is now gone, merged with compiz to form compiz fusion)01:13
binaryBecause I can't seem to get that working without breaking my windows and force closing :/01:13
binarythe other 2 decorators won't even run :/01:13
macoyou get no window decorations AT ALL with compiz??01:13
binaryI am not even sure I have this crap installed right >.>01:14
binarynot anymore at least01:14
macokde-window-decorator should just give you normal kwin decorations but maybe with some compositing added on (same as simply turning on kwin's effects which are very similar to compiz's)01:14
binaryI can't find up to dat documentation01:14
binaryOk so what do you use to get all those snazzy themes off of kde look?01:14
macoand gtk-window-decorator will look like metacity decorations but with some compositing01:14
macoi would guess kde-look would be having kwin themes01:15
macoand qt themes01:15
binaryI see01:15
binaryHmm.01:15
binaryWell I can't seem to have it seect a theme01:15
binaryeven using kwin01:15
binaryit's the wierdest thing01:15
macohang on a sec01:15
binaryok01:15
macoif you go system settings -> workspace appearance01:16
macoit should list a bunch of decorations01:16
macoand at the bottom you have "get new decorations" which is an interface to pull more from kde-look01:16
binaryohhhhhhhhh01:17
binarywow01:17

luis_hello everyone i am using kubuntu hardy and i like to upgrade kde3.5.10 can somebody tell me how to do this please, i have been googling it but the directions that i have found so far won't work at all04:13
CorinWhat version of Kubuntu are you in? O_o04:15
macoCorin: he just said hardy...04:15
macoaka 8.0404:15
macothe last release to include kde304:15
macoalso...not supported04:15
macokubuntu 8.04 was not lts and so has not been supported since october 200904:16
CorinOh.04:16
luis_kubuntu hardy04:16
CorinI see.04:16
CorinWait.04:16
CorinI thought 8.04 was still supported...04:16
CorinIsn't that LTS?04:17
maco*ubuntu* and *xubuntu* 8.04 are LTS04:17
maco*kubuntu* 8.04 was not04:17
CorinOh.04:17
CorinI see.04:17
luis_so i am screw?04:17
macobecause it only had as kde options the 3.x branch which kde was dropping support for and the 4.x branch which was a developer release and not well-supported or very usable to start with04:17
luis_then there's no way that i can upgrade kde04:18
luis_:(04:18
macoexcept to kde 4...04:18
macothere's one person trying to maintain kde 304:19
macoi *think* he's still going at it04:19
macobut i have no idea how it is or about the state of packages or anything04:19
luis_i actually don't want to but the thing is that the newest kubuntu release is kinda heavy for my old pc and it does slow down every thing i wan to do04:19
macothere's a new ubuntu derivative that's very lightweight called Lubuntu that you could try04:21
macoit uses LXDE with OpenBox04:21
luis_i see04:21
luis_let's take a look04:21
luis_thing is kubuntu is lovely :)04:21
luis_does this lubuntu has a website? cause i can't find it04:22
luis_soory04:23
luis_just find it04:23
luis_:P04:23
Corinlol04:23
CorinWasn't Xubuntu supposed to be *lightweight*?04:23
Corinlol04:23
CorinNow it's less efficient than Ubuntu, isn't it?04:23
luis_xubuntu don't like it at all04:24
luis_nor even ubuntu is to heavy04:24
luis_i love kubuntu04:24
luis_and this lubuntu looks pretty much like xubuntu04:24
luis_it looks like a weird combo between gnome desktop and xubuntu04:25
luis_actually it uses gnome04:25
luis_as i can see04:25
luis_but lightweight04:26
luis_hahahaha even the guy giving the tutorial in lubuntu gets confuse :P04:26
Corinlol04:32
CorinI didn't like Gnome.04:32
CorinI'm a KDE user for life, no matter which distro I'm using. :)04:33
ubuntu_good nite to you all05:21
ubuntu_i need help please i did delete libc and i loose a lot of thing on my OS, how can i restore everything? is there anyway to go back to the wey it use to be before deleting it?05:22
ubuntu_libc6*05:22
ubuntu_right now i am using live cd05:23
ubuntu_hel pls05:23
DarthFrogubuntu_: Your best option would be to re-install.  You have really mucked up your system by deleting libc which, next to the kernel, is pretty much the most important package in the system.05:28
ubuntu_i know but how do i do that05:29
DarthFrogThe same way you originally installed the system.  Just install it again.05:29
ubuntu_like i said i am using live cd other wise i cant use my pc05:29
ubuntu_it need to be connceted to internet and it is not05:30
DarthFrogYou can use the LiveCD.05:30
ubuntu_i see05:31
ubuntu_but how_05:31
DarthFrogThere should be an icon on your desktop to install to the hard drive.05:31
ubuntu_kubuntu has no icon on desktop05:32
DarthFrogHow did you install Kubuntu in the first place?  Do that again.05:33
ubuntu_so you mean to resintall it again05:34
ubuntu__-05:34
ubuntu_???05:34
DarthFrogYes, that's what I told you originally.05:34
ubuntu_like doing a fresh new installatioon_05:34
ubuntu_??05:35
CorinYes.05:35
DarthFrogAre you now clear on the concept?05:35
CorinYou might wanna back up your files first though, if you can. :P05:35
ubuntu_yes thanks05:35
ubuntu_my question was that if it is possible to restore the system to the way it use be wothout the need to resintall05:36
ubuntu_that was my questions05:36
ubuntu_do fresh installation i know how to05:36
ubuntu_other wise i wouldnt be asking05:36
CorinYou could devote your life to building a time machine...05:37
ubuntu_i see only windows has that advantage05:38

paytammy keyboard shortcut doesn't work(such as Alt+Tab). I don't know why.I configure the global shortcut to default, but nothing happened.Do you have any suggestion?11:57
danboidrork, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that people are wary of change- hence most everyone still using Windows12:04
danboidI had a go with unity in Maverick- bleugh. I'll need to try NN's unity before I pass judgement but I think I'll be going xubuntu for 11.0412:05
danboidI'm just one of those who wants his RAM for apps not a shiny DE. Thunar is great, especially now it can browse FTP, SSH, samba shares etc. Woop!12:07
rorkyes I know, still I think it's great they're trying something way different although it feels kinda bad forcing setting it as default. Maybe we should continue this discussion in #kubuntu-offtopic12:08

luis_help me to fix it please15:56
BluesKajluis _, open the kmenu/applications/system/hardware drivers , choose the recommended graphics driver for your setup , it will require a reboot if it installs properly , then check your resolution upon reboot16:07
luis_i only have 800x600 option16:08
russjr08Hey guys. I'm having problems with KMail (under Kontact)16:08
russjr08It's threading all of the messages by the Sender, and it is very confusing16:08
BluesKajluis_, have you installed the proper graphics driver for your syatem as described above ?16:09
russjr08I have tried purging both Kontact and KMail, deleting the mail account, and deleting some of the config files, but it still is threading it by the sender16:09
luis_my pc has no nvidia drivers16:09
BluesKajluis_, well we ned more info than that in order to help you16:10
russjr08Also, my GTK apps (I installed KDE over Ubuntu) look horrible16:11
BluesKajrussjr08, sorry , but I gave up on kmail due to it's clunkiness and difficulties16:11

russjr08rork, I think something in there got changed16:13
coz_hey guys.. I notice in synaptic   kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-full... what is the difference?16:14
russjr08rork, you were right! I got it fixed!!16:14
rorkrussjr08: nice, you can set your GTK theme in "System Settings > Appearance > GTK+ Appearance"16:14
russjr08rork, it seems like whatever I set that too, it looks horrible16:15

BluesKajrussjr08, relogin using kde instead of gnome16:22
russjr08BluesKaj: Do you mean choosing KDE Plasma Workspace as the session?16:23
russjr08Because thats how I normally login16:23
BluesKajrussjr08, at the login scrn there a drop down where you choose your window manager, is that whatyou are doing ?16:24
russjr08Yes, choosing the KDE one16:24
rorkluis_: which graphics card do you have?16:24
russjr08I think part of GNOME is still running though (Maybe because I have GDM as default) because using KRunner I clicked the little process thing running and saw Nautilus (just killed) and gnome-keyring-d running16:25

luis_i can't find it on kinfo center16:28

BluesKajrussjr08, the only thing I can tell you is to remove gdm16:41

BluesKajyou can always reinstall ubuntu-desktop16:42
BluesKajunless you still have it installed , then remove that instead16:43
russjr08I still have ubuntu-desktop, is that what you mean?16:43
luis_nop i don't have that16:44
BluesKajrussjr08, yes16:44
russjr08I knew I should have just installed Kubuntu... it's just last time I installed it, it didn't like NDISWrapper which I need to use to get wireless working16:44
russjr08I think if I blow gnome away... it will destroy my network connection16:44
BluesKajluis_, sorry I was addressing russjr0816:45
rorkluis_: if xrandr doesn't work for you you can try creating an xorg.conf (see: http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html ) and addapt it (see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-256470.html )16:45

BluesKajrussjr08, which wifi chip ?16:45
russjr08Realtek RTL8187SE16:45
BluesKajrussjr08, that should run fine on maverick without ndiswrapper , afaik16:46
russjr08It does... but only to unsecure networks16:47
russjr08My parents will not allow me to take off the security...16:47
BluesKajrussjr08, no wpa options?16:47
russjr08Nope... They like to use WEP16:47
BluesKajheh wep is less secure than wpa2 or wpa-psk16:48
russjr08I know! But they won't listen to me :(16:48
russjr08I even proved it to them...16:49
russjr08I showed them online articles16:50
russjr08Infact, I tried to get them to not even get this laptop, I wanted this other Acer one at Walmart, they wouldn't get it because this laptop had 50 GBs extra space......16:52
russjr08I wonder....16:53
BluesKajrussjr08, http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#wpasupplicant16:53
russjr08BluesKaj: ?16:54
BluesKajrussjr08, check it out16:54
russjr08I'm looking at it, what is it for?16:54
linuxjoint me16:54
BluesKajrussjr08, it's for setting up wifi using wpa supplicant which will work without ndiswrapper16:56
russjr08But I don't have wpa16:56
BluesKajyou will16:56
russjr08My parents wont let me use WPA for the router, they want WEP16:56
BluesKajrussjr08, are you dual booting W7 and Kubuntu ?16:57
russjr08yes16:57
russjr08Well Windows 7 and Ubuntu with KDE16:57
BluesKajthen the salesman probly convinced your parents that wep is safe enough because that's what windows default uses if the router is set to wep16:59
russjr08No, my dad just thinks he knows everything about computers...17:00
russjr08He let the hard drive fail in our new Dell Inspiron 15R17:00
russjr08We heard clicking and everything, saw all the signs, tried to tell him...17:00
russjr08He wouldn't call Dell finally until it stopped working17:00
BluesKajwindowsn will use wpa as well if the router is set to use it , it's just as simple set up and much more secure ...wep is easy to break into by someone who wants to get in17:01
russjr08Yup, I know17:01
russjr08Anyways, I bet kubuntu will work with ndiswrapper if I used ndiswrapper from the command line instead of using ndisgtk17:03
russjr08Maybe that was the problem?17:03
russjr08I might just have to make a persistent live usb of Kubuntu 10.10 and try that out17:04
BluesKajI'm an old computer user , retired technician and if you parentsa are using the laptop to do their banking with wep security then they're living in a dream world if they think they can't be trojaned and keylogged17:04
BluesKajscary17:04
russjr08Yeah, my dad should know. He works at a security place for the government...17:05
BluesKajI dunno who's been giving them advice, but whoever it is doesn't know his pc security from a hole in the ground.17:06
russjr08Infact, were using an old SBC router (which is now AT&T). We have been trying to convince him to get a new router for a very long time, he even picked one up at Office Depot (for $40) and then put it down saying "I can find a cheaper one somewhere else"17:07
russjr08I can't even get 1.50 mb/s with that old thing17:07
russjr08How much cheaper can you get then $40 for a router!17:08
spider623any one knows how to intergrade ubuntu one in dolphine?17:08
BluesKajnot much, and they aren't very good at that price ...should pay about 60 minimum for a decent router17:08
spider623*dolphin17:09
westmi49319spider623,  what does the website say?17:09
westmi49319naughtlus?17:09
russjr08Exactly, I'm just going to get one for my birthday coming up in March, and connect to that one... Let everyone else enjoy the speed but him17:09
BluesKajspider623, install nautilus17:09
westmi49319hmmm.......17:09
spider623i'm using it but i want to know if there is a way to use it with dolphin17:10
* BluesKaj doesn't see the benefits of ubuntu one ...maybe ask in #ubuntu17:11
russjr08Anyways, I'm going to go check if I have an ISO of kubuntu 10.10 in Windows (I have a lot of Linux ISOs there) and try it17:11
russjr08See you guys soon17:11

Snowhogbusyfingers: The command is:  sudo dpkg --configure -a21:12
busyfingersdid that.21:12
Snowhogbusyfingers: And the system replied that the command cannot be found?! Really?21:13
busyfingerscorrect.21:13
busyfingersi am baffled!!21:14
macoum if dpkg is missing thats BAD21:14
macolike... either A) how the heck did you uninstall it  B) why'd it get deleted or C) uh oh disk corruption....21:15
DarthFrog Did you spell it correctly?21:15
busyfingersyes very. looks like i might have to do a reinstall!!, I hope not though.21:15
busyfingersyep,21:15
busyfingerskubunu did an automated disk check on startup a couple of days prior to the problem but id not report any errors21:16

shane4ubuntuanyone around that can help mount a usb mp3 player thing?  I'm usually at a loss when it doesn't just 'pick it up'  lsusb shows this:  Bus 006 Device 002: ID 10d6:1101 Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd D-Wave 2GB MP4 Player / AK1025 MP3/MP4 Player21:23
shane4ubuntuso it is showing up, but not mounting, at least not automatically21:24
Out_Coldwhat's the pkg pointer for kde4 desktop??21:25
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu:  What does dmesg tell you about the device name?21:25
shane4ubuntuDarthFrog: bunch of these:  Attached SCSI removable disk21:26
shane4ubuntu[168190.894071] usb 6-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 321:26
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu:  Is it /dev/sdb?21:26
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu:  If so: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 <mount point>21:27
Out_Coldany takers? apt-get kde-desktop-something??21:27
shane4ubuntuI don't think so, hang on one second, let me try to change the settings on the mp3 player21:27
DarthFrogOut_Cold: kubuntu-desktop21:27
Out_Coldthanks... never would have figured that one out....21:27
busyfingersback21:28
DarthFrogOut_Cold:  You could always use the apt-cache command.  viz: apt-cache search kde21:28
Out_ColdDarthFrog: i totally apt-cached and greped and less'd and couldn't find it...21:28
shane4ubuntuDarthFrog: ohh, this looks odd:  http://pastebin.com/kH6YXxa1   it is sdh, but the entry looks odd to me.21:29
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu: It looks like the system doesn't see any partitions on the device.21:30
shane4ubuntuDarthFrog: ohh, nevermind, got it, had to change the setting in the mp3 player that worked.21:30
Out_Coldmind you i was looking for a package with kde in the name..21:30
shane4ubuntuDarthFrog: yeah, it was the player settings, got it, thanks though21:30
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu:  What was the errant player setting?21:30
shane4ubuntumost of the things I have used (limited experience) they just autoconnect, and I never have to do anything21:31
shane4ubuntuDarthFrog: yep, apparently21:31
Out_Coldshane4ubuntu: that's not the case with linux ;)21:31
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu: No, what was the specific setting you had to manipulate?21:31
shane4ubuntuOut_Cold: oh it has gotten loads better, it used to be worse, and I don't mess with a bunch of mp3 players this was a birthday gift for my son21:32
shane4ubuntuDarthFrog: it was: Online Mode:  1.  Multidisk mode  2.  Normal mode  3.  Encrypted mode      1 didn't work and 2 worked.21:32
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu:  Good to know.  That might be useful to someone else in the future.21:33
Out_Coldi have no DE :(21:33
shane4ubunturight, I didn't think to check for a setting first.21:33
shane4ubuntuOut_Cold: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop21:33
Out_Coldya, that's been running since i found out it was kubuntu- and not kde-21:34
shane4ubuntuOut_Cold: yep, kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop  and I think there are a few more for future reference.21:34
Out_Coldi have a bitcoin app but as far as i can tell, it runs in GUI, and I've been waiting to get this desktop up so I can get my $$$ lol21:35
Out_Coldand my system is definitely a frankenstien box... debian and ubuntu live DO NOT like her at all21:36
DarthFrogOut_Cold: you don't need to run KDE to run KDE apps.  As long as the proper libraries are installed.21:36
Out_Coldi still need a DE tho lol21:36
DarthFrogOut_Cold: Have you logged out and back in again?21:36
Out_Coldi'm in CLI only atm21:36
Out_Coldit's still installing the desktop21:37
Out_Cold44% done21:37
DarthFrogGo have a coffee.  :-)21:37
Out_Coldor beer! <321:37
DarthFrogBeer and system administration can be a volatile combination. :-)21:38
Out_ColdDarthFrog: only if your beer gets into the PSU..21:38
Out_Coldgeez if it wasn't for computers and people being so graphic orientated, i'd probably stick to screen, finch, elinks and bash lol21:41
DarthFrogOut_Cold: Have you ever had a look at ratpoison for a window manager?21:42
Out_ColdDarthFrog: i've heard of it... i'm a fan of key combos but i just don't have much time for that now i'm back in school... someone had said they use ratpoison and something else i believe for their graphics and WM21:43
Out_Coldi 'need' shell much more than i need a compatible and suitable WM or DE21:44
Out_Coldi just was getting sick of gnome and hoped that kde4 has fixed some bugs since the last time i tried21:45
DarthFrogKDE SC 4.6 rocks!21:45
Out_Coldi remember trying it when it was 3.6->4.0? was very buggy21:46
DarthFrogKDE 4.0 was not intended for general release, it was intended for devs only.  I think calling it a .0 release was a mistake.21:46
Out_Coldwhat ever the case, it still needed time to get fixed..21:47
* Out_Cold should have installed elinks before kde :(21:50

FloodBotK3Belial6663: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.23:11
CorinBelial6663: Always ask before mounting. ;)23:11
Belial6663lol23:11
yofelhm, how are you mounting it and what are you mounting?23:11
CorinIt's obviously an external hard drive.23:12
CorinRight?23:12
Belial6663im using dolphin and it's an ext423:12
yofelnot obviously, sdb1 could be everything23:12
yofel*anything23:12
CorinBut I was right, wasn't I? :o23:12
yofelhm, I wonder why that would fail then..23:12
yofelBelial6663: can you mount in from the command line?23:13
Belial6663i can try. im not real familiar with the mount command, what would the line be?23:14
yofel'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt' for example23:14
Belial6663gives me the same error23:16
Belial6663it's my second harddrive if that helps23:16
SnowhogBelial6663: What is it formatted to?23:16
Belial6663ext423:17
CorinBelial6663: We already knew it was a secondary hard drive. :o23:18
Belial6663no it's not an external23:18
SnowhogBelial6663: In the console, type: sudo fsck /dev/sdb123:18
CorinI know. That's why I said "secondary" the second time.23:19
Belial6663Snowhog Thanks that worked23:20
