| pedahzur | Have a weird problem here. KDE 4.6 on Kubuntu 10.10. My user can log in just fine via KDM, but another user gets the "red field." Using the same password, I can su to that user at the prompt, but that user cannot log in via KDM. I had this problem with KDE 4.5 as well, but it went away (until now) when I upgraded to 4.6. Ideas? And to add to the wierdness: it started working on its own. STRANGE. | 00:18 |

| chris_sf | Please help , I can't load KDE after KDE update from the backport repo ! | 00:27 |
| james147 | chris_sf: make sure kubuntu-desktop is intalled and run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 00:29 |
| chris_sf | but I don't want to upgrade my distibution . I want the keep the LTS 10.04 version. What I did was to install kdevelop from the backport repo and than when doing a regular update, it update KDE !! now the screen is black, how can I revert it to the original KDE (the one on Lucid) or install the new one properly but keeping the 10.04 LTS version. Thx so much for any help | 00:33 |
| james147 | chris_sf: dist-upgrade only upgrades packages | 00:34 |
| james147 | chris_sf: it wont upgrade you to 10.10 unless you enable the 10.10 repors in /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:35 |

| chris_sf | Thx so much james, it works , now I think it is scary because all what I wanted was to install kdevelop and tutorial showed it using the backport repo. Correct me if I am wrong but since the new KDE was also in the backport , it tried to update itself !? actually each I'll do a apt-get upgrade he will try to replace the lucid package whith the one in the backup repo ! Is that correct. how can I select the backport to only install a package (ie | 00:55 |
| chris_sf | kedevelop) . what is the best practice of using the backpot repo if you don't want to install what's in there ? Also what happened in my case ! sorry for all those questions !! ;-) | 00:55 |

| skidzo | Hi there, I tried to install a proprietary software (bitrock install binary) on kubuntu10.10 | 08:47 |
| skidzo | now the problem is, that the /usr/lib/gio is found | 08:49 |
| skidzo | and as I installed 64 bit version, and the proprietary software uses 32 bit i get errors saying that tehere is a wrong ELF CLASS 64 | 08:50 |
| skidzo | now i looked in a centOS 5.2 and there is no such library as /usr/lib/gio/modules/ | 08:51 |
| skidzo | and even in a debian there is no such directory | 08:52 |
| skidzo | and the fact is the proprietary software installs just fine on CentOS an Debian | 08:52 |
| skidzo | so what package needs that /usr/lib/gio/modules and why is there a problem when installing a 32bit binary which actually just should copy some binarys... | 08:55 |
| skidzo | i am totally clueless about this | 08:55 |
| valorie | !find /usr/lib/gio/modules | 08:59 |
| ubottu | File /usr/lib/gio/modules found in bamf-dbg, bamfdaemon, gvfs, ia32-libs, libdconf-dbg, libdconf0, libfm0, libfm0-dbg, libgio-fam, libzeitgeist-1.0-0-dbg (and 2 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=/usr/lib/gio/modules&mode=&suite=maverick&arch=any | 08:59 |
| valorie | does that help at all, skidzo? | 09:00 |
| skidzo | a little | 09:03 |
| skidzo | is this installed by default | 09:05 |
| skidzo | ? | 09:05 |
| valorie | hmmm, I don't know how to check that | 09:05 |
| skidzo | i get an error about libgiofam.so and libdconf.so | 09:06 |
| skidzo | saying that they are of the wrong elf CLASS 64 | 09:06 |
| valorie | and did google give you anything useful about that error message? | 09:07 |
| skidzo | ia32-libs is also installed | 09:07 |
| skidzo | no | 09:07 |
| skidzo | it was mainly other people also installing proprietary software | 09:07 |
| valorie | you need someone much more clueful than me, I'm afraid | 09:08 |
| skidzo | i know the gio is the gnome io | 09:08 |

| franzmaximilian | Hello. I am facing a severe problem with my Kubuntu 10.10 (running since months without problems) Today it boots into an installation procedure that hangs at the choice of language | 09:13 |
| franzmaximilian | I am now running Kubuntu from CD | 09:14 |
| franzmaximilian | but i desperately need to be back to my normal HD boot | 09:14 |
| franzmaximilian | I don-t know what and where to check: grub? boot scripts? Please help!!! | 09:16 |
| franzmaximilian | 238 users on this channel and none can help in any way? | 09:18 |
| valorie | did you do some recent updates? | 09:18 |
| valorie | new software? | 09:18 |
| valorie | sorry, not many people awake at this point of the day | 09:18 |
| franzmaximilian | no new softare, just the regular updates from official repositories | 09:18 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: can you get a screenshot, photo, or good description of the screen you arrive at? | 09:19 |
| franzmaximilian | which i do more or less daily | 09:19 |
| === simpack is now known as skidzo | ||
| franzmaximilian | amichair boot seems to start normally, then for a couple of seconds i see a login screen | 09:20 |
| franzmaximilian | i mean command lina with black bacground | 09:20 |
| franzmaximilian | then it turns into a text based installation | 09:21 |
| franzmaximilian | not graphic | 09:21 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: the kubuntu installation? the boot menu like in the liveCD? | 09:21 |
| === alessio is now known as Netziro | ||
| franzmaximilian | yes, but not a graphic install, just an old fashioned text input menu in a few colors | 09:22 |
| franzmaximilian | this is the language choice menu | 09:22 |
| franzmaximilian | preset choice is english, but if try to move around it goes to albanese | 09:23 |
| franzmaximilian | and doesnt let me move but between alabnese and bulgarian | 09:24 |
| franzmaximilian | it does not accept an ENTER command | 09:24 |
| franzmaximilian | it does nothing there | 09:24 |
| franzmaximilian | only choice is CTRL ALT CANC or hard switch off | 09:25 |
| mokush | you guys, how can I get flash into 10.10 64? do I need to run the flashplugin-installer? | 09:25 |
| franzmaximilian | I checked that there are no forgotten usb pens on the computer or anything else | 09:25 |
| amichair | mokush: install flashplugin-installer | 09:25 |
| franzmaximilian | it boots as expected from a live CD and i can access the HD | 09:26 |
| franzmaximilian | this is all I can say | 09:26 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: strange, I never encountered anything like this | 09:26 |
| mokush | amichair: I've installed the package, but the actual plugin didn't install | 09:26 |
| franzmaximilian | me neither... i-m just a user amichair, but since mamy years first time i see anything like this | 09:27 |
| amichair | mokush: installing the package is all that should be necessary, at least for FireFox and Chrome (but probably others too) | 09:27 |
| franzmaximilian | and of course it happens the day i have urgent tasks to do.... according to Murphy-s law | 09:27 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: do you have any choice in the grub menu, older kernels and such? | 09:28 |
| mokush | amichair: I've just removed and reinstalled the plugin, and it got it's act toghether. thanks | 09:29 |
| amichair | mokush: you might need to restart the browser though | 09:29 |
| amichair | mokush: oh great :-) | 09:29 |
| franzmaximilian | i do not see a grub menu at start amichair. i have only kubunto, no Windows or other OS | 09:29 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: no previous kubuntu kernel versions? (there's some key u can press to get the grub menu, not sure if nowadays it's escape or left shift or something else) | 09:30 |
| franzmaximilian | yes, i must have some older kernels | 09:30 |
| franzmaximilian | so let-s ask if anyone knows which is the key to press to get the grub menu | 09:31 |
| franzmaximilian | anyone knows_ | 09:31 |
| franzmaximilian | ? | 09:31 |
| franzmaximilian | sorry... wrong keyb layout... i forgot to set it when booting from CD | 09:32 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: I think in grub2 you hold down the shift key while booting to get to the menu | 09:32 |
| franzmaximilian | ok, i will have a try | 09:33 |
| franzmaximilian | thank you for suggestion | 09:33 |
| franzmaximilian | i will come back if it does not work | 09:33 |
| franzmaximilian | pray for me........ | 09:34 |
| skidzo | fingers crossed | 09:34 |
| franzmaximilian | :) bye | 09:34 |
| skidzo | hi again | 09:43 |
| skidzo | so anyone knows if the /usr/lib/gio/ is in kubuntu10.10 by default | 09:44 |
| skidzo | or does it only exist because some packages where installed afterwards? | 09:44 |
| skidzo | i figured out already that in debian an in RHEL there is no such directory | 09:45 |
| apokorwnas | hello anyone from greece? | 09:48 |
| apokorwnas | anyone who watch the chat? | 09:50 |
| iulian_ | skidzo: try sudo dpkg -i - -force-architecture yourpackagename | 09:52 |
| skidzo | sorry forgot to say it's proprietary | 09:52 |
| skidzo | tried the linux32 command an tried installing 32 bit libs | 09:53 |
| skidzo | but the issue is that some process running at installtime might mess up the installation | 09:54 |
| skidzo | it did an strace of the install process but i only got some information which is worthless | 09:57 |
| skidzo | i do know that I need some opengl library's | 09:58 |
| skidzo | like libXm.so libGL.so libGLU.so | 09:58 |
| skidzo | all in 32 bit | 09:59 |
| skidzo | i know that one of the packages is libmotif3 | 10:01 |
| franzmaximilian | hello amichair My computer booted normally at the end.... but i don't know how! and i simply hate this | 10:18 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: I suppose you can hate it less than when it doesn't work and you don't know why ;-) | 10:18 |
| franzmaximilian | lol true | 10:19 |
| franzmaximilian | anyway... i wonder why i cannot find a /boot/grub/menu.lst file in my installation | 10:19 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: just as an off-thought, perhaps you can run an fsck and/or memtest at some conveient time in the near future... just to rule out random hardware errors. It never hurts. | 10:20 |
| franzmaximilian | yes, good Idea amichair . do I run fsck from a cd? I f i remember well it cannot be run on an active hd | 10:21 |
| amichair | franzmaximilian: I think menu.lst no longer exists in grub2, at least by default. now there's a grub.conf somewhere, and a utility to apply it... don't remember the details | 10:21 |
| franzmaximilian | amichair, I will check for this | 10:23 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 408417 in gdm "XDMCP server not working in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/408417 | 15:48 |
| danifunker | I'm using the most current version | 15:48 |
| danifunker | of everything | 15:48 |
| danifunker | I just installed on monday, and did an update before installing kde | 15:48 |
| alvin | I haven't tried XDMCP on Maverick yet | 15:48 |
| danifunker | that looked like a gdm bug, not kdm bug | 15:48 |
| alvin | Canonical doesn't really care about XDMCP. It wouldn't suprise me if they broke it. Kubuntu has the possibility in kdm, but gdm losst it years ago. | 15:49 |
| alvin | Yes, that bug was originally about the missing option in gdm, but people added more problems over the years | 15:49 |
| lithpr | hi all. I heard a podcast where they talked about kde 4.6, and i was intrigued. I downloaded kubuntu-desktop from the backports. The problem i have now is that in either session, i have all the apps from gnome/kde on both menus. Is there a way i can isolate the two environments short of dual-booting? | 15:50 |
| lithpr | I can't be the first person who has wanted to do this :) | 15:51 |
| alvin | lithpr: I do not know of such a method | 15:51 |
| danifunker | hmm, I wanted to try switching to a different xdmcp manager. How do I switch it? | 15:52 |
| alvin | not kdm? | 15:52 |
| danifunker | yeah like xdm | 15:52 |
| danifunker | problem is, i already installed xdm and don't have an option to switch | 15:52 |
| alvin | Oh, but there is. I forgot the command... Shouldn't it be $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm ? | 15:53 |
| danifunker | sweet! thanks | 15:55 |
| alvin | danifunker: hmm. Maybe we're using ipv6 only without really knowing it... On your server, what is the output of: $ sudo netstat -atnup | grep 177 | 15:55 |
| danifunker | I checked that already | 15:55 |
| danifunker | I ended up changing it | 15:56 |
| alvin | Here it's ipv6 only... Must have been that way for the past year | 15:56 |
| alvin | And I never knew | 15:56 |
| === ralsina is now known as ralsina_lunch | ||
| danifunker | yeah, I had to put in LISTEN 0.0.0.0 in one of my files | 15:57 |
| danifunker | but odddly, I do have ipv6 configured on my network ;) | 15:57 |
| danifunker | xming doesn't support ipv6 addresses though, at least not the version I'm running | 15:58 |
| danifunker | my output from that command: udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:177 0.0.0.0:* | 15:58 |
| alvin | It might explain some stuff here... In what file did you have to change that? | 15:58 |
| danifunker | Xaccess | 15:59 |
| alvin | btw, in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xaccess I have 2 lines (* ; * CHOOSER BROADCAST) | 15:59 |
| danifunker | i have *, * CHOOSER BROADCAST and listen 0.0.0.0 that's what forces ipv4 | 16:00 |
| danifunker | i don't need to do anything with xhost do I? | 16:00 |
| alvin | I don't think so | 16:00 |
| alvin | I'll change to ipv4 too, but not now. There's too many people logged on. | 16:01 |
| danifunker | ahh okay | 16:01 |
| danifunker | I'd rather use ipv6, but xming :( | 16:01 |
| danifunker | everything I have is on ipv6 now, even my site and email. | 16:01 |
| alvin | Yes, you might want to try with a Kubuntu client. Just to know where to look | 16:02 |
| alvin | cool, I still have to learn about that | 16:02 |
| alvin | ISP's don't give addresses yet here | 16:02 |
| danifunker | yeah, I have a tunneled route, where are you from? | 16:02 |

| danifunker | I did see a whole bunch of "nolisten" in some parameters somewhere. | 16:05 |
| alvin | danifunker: Yes, that's for when you want to use X forwarding. (setenv DISPLAY etc,....) It's not needed to remove -nolisten tcp for XDMCP servers | 16:06 |
| alvin | But you can try | 16:06 |
| danifunker | alvin: it probably won't then. I never had this much problems XDMCP before... | 16:07 |
| danifunker | is there a way to test udp connectivity | 16:07 |
| alvin | Hmm, I have it removed apparently | 16:07 |
| alvin | danifunker: $ sudo nmap -sU -p177 <your-xdmcp-server> | 16:09 |
| m_tadeu | hi....after upgrading today the new flash player package, I'm unable to watch videos in youtube | 16:09 |
| alvin | nmap exists for Windows too | 16:09 |
| alvin | It should say: 177/udp open xdmcp | 16:10 |

| moshofosho | i left ubuntu about 2 years ago after using it quite a bit for about 4 years primarily because i was dissatisfied with how kde was handled (really buggy, prone to crashing) and how long it took to bootup (about 1 minute on a, at the time, brand-new laptop) | 16:48 |
| moshofosho | have those things changed? | 16:49 |
| falanga | you are so bad | 16:49 |
| falanga | def | 16:49 |
| moshofosho | is kde stable to use? how long does bootup take? | 16:49 |
| moshofosho | i am so bad? | 16:49 |
| genii-around | danifunker: gdm or kdm greeter? gdm has this bug... https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/408417 | 16:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 408417 in gdm "XDMCP server not working in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)" [Medium,Confirmed] | 16:50 |
| moshofosho | i'm asking because my current setup with archlinux may take up more time than i have to debug stuff, mostly due to nvidia's graphics drivers not working right on my system, and strangely enough, random filesystem attributes being set by packages | 16:50 |
| danifunker | genii-around: I'm using kdm greeter. | 16:50 |
| moshofosho | so i'm thinking if i am to transition to something else, might as well be something i was comfortable with for a while | 16:50 |
| moshofosho | i know the developers of ubuntu are beyond willing to help. i once hogged up colin wilson's entire work day on just one bug of mine. he seemed really set on fixing it and it was sort of obscure... at least at the time | 16:51 |
| moshofosho | how to get a custom ubuntu image setup using clonezilla on identical machines in a computer lab | 16:51 |
| BluesKaj | moshofosho, depends on your hardware but kde 5.1 is very stable and my pc boots in about 20 secs nowadays..there are some nvidia issues haowever they are mostly with the new 200 and 300 series | 16:53 |
| moshofosho | 5.1? that's a typo right? | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | er kde 4.5.1 | 16:53 |
| moshofosho | okay | 16:53 |
| moshofosho | yeah, that's what i have on my machine too right now. my desktop's graphics card is an nvidia 8300 gs... so not so cutting edge | 16:53 |
| moshofosho | but not too old | 16:54 |
| moshofosho | and it used to work fine with the 1xx series drivers (not hardware models!), but after 256 it seems like it's really unstable | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj | moshofosho, then you should be ok , mine's a 8400gs | 16:54 |
| moshofosho | someone online pointed out very insightfully that there seem to be two groups of people who use linux. 1 ) young people with time to spare in fiddling and tinkering with stuff and 2) older people who have to get work done and don't have the luxury of such time | 16:55 |
| moshofosho | i'm slowly transitioning from 1) to 2) and though i'd love to tinker, i just don't have the time | 16:55 |
| moshofosho | i used to have to fight with ubuntu to get stuff to work, but your experiences tell me i should give it a test run soon | 16:55 |
| BluesKaj | moshofosho, well, I'm retired , so I have lots of time in winter ;) | 16:57 |
| moshofosho | i see | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | I installed 10.10 in 40 mins the other day , clean | 16:57 |
| moshofosho | i never had a problem with installation. ubuntu seems to have that nailed down | 16:57 |
| moshofosho | i hated how many useless services used to run and just waste precious resources... back then | 16:58 |
| moshofosho | now i guess it wouldn't be as bad. computers are faster, though mine have been stuck in 2007-age technology for a while | 16:58 |
| moshofosho | anyway, for someone who has a lot of work to do, i sure sound like a hypocrite | 16:58 |
| moshofosho | back to work | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | and used the text-based alternate install on my 6 yr old pc , which took about an hr | 16:58 |
| moshofosho | thanks for your input BluesKaj | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | moshofosho, np :) | 16:58 |
| Peace- | BluesKaj: :P | 17:00 |

| Carnage\ | Hey guys. I want to run an application in a separate Xorg-Server using a separate config and I want to do this as user (non-root). I had to configure /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config to allow this. If I now run `xinit <programm> -- :1 -config myxorg.conf` a separate XServer starts but just displays rubbish. The log says (among others) "(EE) Unable to locate/open config file: "myxorg.conf", however the file is located in the current working | 19:19 |
| Carnage\ | directory. | 19:19 |
