[00:49] dizzy D: [00:50] I have been trying to install Kubuntu for almost 2 hours >.>; [00:50] Ganzeiba: shoot, that sounds like it could be going better.... [00:50] i hope so D: [00:50] I was a ubuntu user, but I changed to Kubuntu 2 weeks ago at my workstation [00:51] Ganzeiba: did you get it installed? [00:51] now that I'm trying to install it on my desktop PC, I get a black screen instead of the login screen D: [00:51] Hm, that's the way I install it too. It works for me [00:51] not being able to call any kind of konsole >.>; [00:51] First I install ubuntu, then I add the KDE Desktop using Synaptic [00:51] right now I'm using a Kubuntu 10.10 AMD64 Live CD [00:51] I select the "Full" option [00:52] but I don't have ubuntu here, I just have Kubuntu D: [00:52] Ganzeiba: I'm running the 64 bit 10.10 as well, it's working fine for me [00:52] Uhmmm [00:52] in fact I think it's faster than when I run the 32 bit version on the same pc [00:52] which confused me a little [00:52] I think it may be because it can use the extra ram [00:53] or maybe it can multitask better, I'm not sure [00:53] also could be a faster drive, because my 64 bit version is on a SATA drive, and my 32 bit is on an IDE [00:53] But the bottom line is I love it [00:54] having a little glitch with my apache2 in my 64 bit install, and I'm not tech enough to debug it, so I might reinstall [00:55] for now I'm using the 32 bit installation [00:55] well, I think it's a graphic problem, gotta try again [00:55] brb~ [00:55] Ganzeiba: do you get a login screen (when you get the black screen)?

[02:45] update of what? [02:50] chromium update :-) [02:50] i'd like to buy a system76 machine as a new laptop (the new gazelle professional), but unfortunately i live in germany [02:51] do you know any comparable retail sellers for GNU/Linux (not necessarily Ubuntu, i can still install it) for Europe/Germany? [02:51] whilo: all i can suggest is that theres a different linux-only vendor that ships worldwide but is still US-based... ZaReason [02:51] (i have two laptops from them) [02:52] whilo: you can also true asking at #kubuntu-de [02:53] ok thx [02:53] i have already had a look at zareason, but system76 imo looks better and has definetly more powerful in the new gazelle [02:54] how long is your battery live with zareason? [02:54] (this seems to be a problem with system76) [02:54] on the netbook, its 5 hours with the wifi & 3g on [02:54] i need a dev laptop [02:54] on the laptop they dont make anymore... i got a half hour longer than they stated [02:54] so core i7 sandy bridge would make sense + ssd + 4-8gb ram [02:55] ehh you dont really want to be compiling stuff on an ssd. you'll ruin it [02:55] since like flash they have limited read/writes [02:56] prove? the intel ssds are thought to be very robust as i thought [02:56] it also speeds things up tremendously i guess [02:58] apt-gets do seem to go much faster on my netbook than on computers with real hard drives [02:59] but the entire reason people ask about what filesystem is best for SSDs is because they have a limited lifespan (answer: ext4 with noatime) [02:59] both ext4 and esp. btrfs have ssd options i think [02:59] can you point me to a reliable source, google does not give me a quick match :-/ [03:00] the thing thats good about intel is they are great for non-sequential access and mixed-read-and-write without speed problems [03:00] im waiting for wikipedia to load [03:00] (im practically on dial up so....this takes a while) [03:01] ok [03:01] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive#Comparison_of_SSD_with_hard_disk_drives the "write longevity" bit of the table [03:02] so it seems it depends on if its a flash or DRAM based SSD [03:02] flash ones have 4 citations on that page for their limited writes [03:02] (which writing several hundred files repeatedly with each recompile would....ugh) [03:03] so if you want to compile, get a DRAM-based SSD i guess [03:06] maco: thx === Guest76942 is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest89718 [03:25] maco: looks like this is fud, at least when following the links from the wiki: [03:26] http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html [03:26] http://robert.penz.name/137/no-swap-partition-journaling-filesystem-on-a-ssd/ [03:26] (both referencing the same article (the first)) [03:29] hmmm... [03:30] i hate issues like that, why can't the vendors just be honest and put out real test data from independant experts knowing the hardware :-p [03:30] whilo: it makes perfect sense that a flash-based SSD (so, a gigantic flash drive) would have teh same pitfalls as any other flash drive === foxjazz_ is now known as foxjaz [03:33] maco: i really don't like to do amateur judgements of absolute high-tech hardware, esp. when the decision is important. it is something which really bothers me about proprietary hardware [03:33] new to ubuntu kinda.

(name, source) [03:34] foxjaz: double click it [03:34] i did [03:34] gdebi-kde didnt pop up? [03:36] foxjaz: can you give more info. because maybe you don't need the .deb file at all (it is usually better to use package management on GNU/Linux systems) [03:40] maco: arggh i am confused >:-( [03:40] i'd really love to use a ssd and in a laptop you cannot combine it (usually) [03:40] or i have to carry a 2.5 drive as an external storage which is *stupid* [03:41] whilo figured it out, tx [03:41] foxjaz: kk, welcome to kubuntu ;-) [03:42] yea, it's kinda nice.

[06:11] This didn't happen before, and I've tried disabling one effect after the other, as well as tweaking the nvidia driver settings (restarting kwin after the changes), but it still remains that starting kwin compositing puts a hefty idle-load on the GPU.

[08:29] Taggnostr: as far as i know the networkmanager will avoid interfaces configured there. if you can't figure it out on the web simply disable networkmanager if you are about to use the static ip anyway [08:29] basically my live cd doesnt work because the squashfs is to old is there a way to convert it to be able to use it [08:29] Taggnostr: or dou you have a lan ip? then i think you should try to configure nm [08:31] ravel: what exactly do you store in the squashfs? and where do you store it? on a partition, file? [08:31] okay exact errorsquashfs error major minor mismatch older squashfs 3.0 filesystems are unsupported how can i up my squashfs system [08:32] whilo, I'm in a lan [08:32] while its actually a remaster of my whole computer into a live cd but i screwed up and got a older remaster program so now its unreadable i believe the squashfs is at a 3.0 i need 4.0 [08:32] Taggnostr: best is to setup dhcp with fixed mac assigning imo. i have done that with dnsmasq, but it might not be worth the effort [08:32] I guess I can set it from the router too if it's too complicated doing it from here [08:33] you can then simply changes ip in a central place and even do dns [08:33] Taggnostr: it definetly shouldn't [08:33] while squash file systems are a compression of information basically [08:33] like a tar or iso [08:34] ravel: i know, but what do you store in it? [08:34] it is read-only so i guess you store some installation in there, right? [08:34] whilo anything i stored my whole / into it [08:34] on windows you just pick a connection and there's a checkbox with "obtain addresses automatically" and "set them manually", but on here there's no such thing [08:35] Taggnostr: ok, windows uses very weird terminology. apple does that better imo, but they create a very strange way to interact with hardware [08:35] not the point here though [08:35] i have a look [08:35] ravel: what for? [08:35] the main problem is that from the network connections windows there's no auto ethernet, so you can't edit the default connection [08:36] so i can make a live cd and distribute it to my buddy [08:36] you can create new ones, but then you can't set it them as default [08:36] or at least I didn't figure out how to do it yet [08:37] im so screwed right now [08:37] Taggnostr: we talk about the configuration which you get in system-settings or by the plasmoid, right? [08:38] ravel: hmmm, i haven't created a livecd on my own yet, sry. but what i can recommend is simply install kubuntu on an usb stick [08:39] the use usb boot and grub will boot into your linux system and you have a full-featured system at hand, which you can carry around and even update [08:39] whilo wont work bud still not compatible to make a cd get remastersys [08:39] whilo, if I click on the network icon in the tray a popup appears and there's a manage connection buttons [08:39] Taggnostr: yep [08:39] whilo, if I click on that a window appear, and in the wired tab there's nothing [08:40] Taggnostr: click on "manage connections" [08:40] ravel: i have really difficulties to understand what you want to do exactly [08:40] so I tried to add a wired connection, I set the ips and then in the popup I could see both the auto eth0 and my new connection and select the new one [08:41] whilo its okay im going to un squash the filesystem then re squash it again with squashfs-tools [08:41] Taggnostr: ok and what happened then. have you checked "ifconfig" ? [08:41] but when I restart it picks the default one again, and even during the shutting down it seems to switch to auto eth0 (I had errors on another pc saying that there was a conflict of ips) [08:41] ravel: ok [08:42] Taggnostr: we talk about ipv4, right? [08:42] yep [08:42] Taggnostr: have you checked the checkbox "automatically connect"? [08:42] or "connect automatically" ;-) [08:43] now I have selected the new connection so I'm using the correct static ip, the problem is that it will change once I reboot and that now I have the Auto eth0 connection there even if it's useless [08:43] whilo, yep, but I think even auto eth0 has it and it picks that first [08:44] Taggnostr: how can it automatically connect when you use static ips? [08:45] because the auto eth0 connection (that uses dhcp) is still there and has the precedence [08:46] Taggnostr: so you have dhcp which gives double ips??? [08:47] no, I have two connections: auto eth0 (the one that was there already, that uses dhcp, that I can't edit and that seems to be used by default) and the one I created (with static ips, but that I have to select manually if I want to use the ips I set) [08:48] I think I should either find a way to edit or remove the auto eth0, or a way to set the other as default [08:48] Taggnostr: i think you can't [08:49] Taggnostr: i guess that you have to configure your device in /etc/network/interfaces and then network-manager will not try to automatically dhcp i [08:49] ok [08:50] thanks for the help, I'll see what I can do [08:50] the network manager is there basically to manage network switching seemlessly with default situations. static ips are usually used in manually configured setups and servers i guess [08:50] but don't take my word for it. [08:50] Taggnostr: there is also a way to set a connection as "system wide" which might do the trick in network manager as well [08:51] actually even dhcp might work now that I think about it [08:51] Taggnostr: :-) [08:51] the problem is that I want static ip for the network hd [08:51] Taggnostr: it usually does === szikar is now known as Szikar [08:51] but if I give it an high IP there shouldn't be conflicts with the others [08:51] Taggnostr: do you have a hardware router or a linux box as router? [08:51] hardware router [08:52] Taggnostr: ok. i have setup dnsmasq to use the macs to give defined ips to machines on the network [08:52] I could try to set e.g. .100 for the network hd, and the dhcp will give away .2 .3 .4 for other pcs with dhcp [08:52] i can then even use dns in there [08:52] if you can define the range, sure [08:53] the router has an option for that, and I think I even set it, but I came back after two months and when I turned my pcs on I started getting conflicts [08:53] the "System connection" checkbox is greyed out with me btw. [08:53] same here === Szikar is now known as szikar [08:54] Taggnostr: i have already used it and it worked for wifi, but i am not sure if i have had to deal with command line [08:54] this is indeed not straightforward [08:54] maybe you could have a look at the bugtracker and report a bug if it isn't already in there? [08:55] launchpad.net and bugs.kde.org are the places to go [08:55] I guess it's easier to just set the router again or try with dhcp and static ip for the hd only [08:56] Taggnostr: sure it is, but the next person will have similar problems, so solving "upstream" is usually a very good idea [08:56] i am lazy, too, but this is how it all works [08:57] maybe they did it on purpose [08:57] they put the auto eth0 connection by default and prevented you to change and break it [08:58] if ones needs some different setup is probably supposed to know how to configure it from elsewhere [08:58] Taggnostr: well network-manager has much more detailed options and at least it shouldn't force you to do sth. imo [08:59] but maybe you are right. i don't think it is a very intuitive solution [09:03] huuh ravel was from hawaii, maybe i should have helped him more and gain a nice vacation ;-) [09:08] hi there~ === Guest18344 is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest66142 [09:21] I've downloaded Kubuntu 10.10 iso file for x86 architecture.

[11:28] try Crtl + [11:28] ALT + F1, then CTrl + F7 [11:29] try Crtl + ALT + F1, then CTrl + F7 [11:29] sorry [11:29] try Crtl + ALT + F1, then Alt + F7 [11:29] trudell: are you talkning to me or Irwell :-D? [11:29] irwell [11:31] i did that (had to do Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back) but it's still the same [11:31] nope, only ALT + F7 [11:31] Alt+F7 did nothing [11:31] sorry by my mystake [11:32] first Ctrl + Alt + F1, then Alt + F7 to go back [11:32] nothing changed? [11:33] Irwell: sometimes you should use ALT+F8 or ALT+F9 [11:33] ah the alt+f7 worked this time but the gtk theme is still broken [11:33] well. [11:33] strange problem [11:34] your video driver that you are using is the correct version to your video card? [11:34] it's quite annoying because i can't use rekonq or konqueror for all my sites, firefox now looks ugly and i don't like chrome because the scroll bar irritates me [11:35] trudell: yes, it's the correct driver and kde works fine... even the kwin blur plugin works, which is a nice change! [11:36] what version of kubuntu you are using? [11:36] 10.10 [11:37] sorry 64 bit too [11:41] your laptop is a sony vaio? [11:41] trudell: no, it's an hp pavilion dv6 [11:42] have you kcm-gtk installed? [11:43] nope [11:44] install it then configure gtk and save [11:44] to install type 'apt-get install kcm-gtk' [11:45] i've installed it and changed my gtk theme but it's still the same [11:46] have you tried to change gtk style to qtcurve? [11:47] that's the one i switched it to [11:47] strange, very strange [11:48] have you installe some program recently? [11:49] the only thing i can think of that i've installed recently was the oxygen-gtk theme [11:50] then you changed the original theme to oxygen-gtk? [11:50] yes i switched from raleigh to oxygen-gtk [11:51] have you intalled oxygen-gtk from kubuntu repositories or from kde-look.org? [11:54] from kde-look as i couldn't find it in the kubuntu repos [11:54] hmmm [11:55] oxygen from kde-look is for kde 4.4, are you using kde 4.5? [11:55] i'm using 4.6.0 from the ppa on the kubuntu homepage [11:56] yeah, i think that it is the problem [11:56] it's strange though because it was working fine and no packages have been updated since [12:00] have you installed oxygen-gtk v 1.0.2? [12:01] i'm not sure tbh [12:02] try to install it http://kde.c3sl.ufpr.br/stable/oxygen-gtk/1.0.0/src/oxygen-gtk-1.0.0.tar.bz2 [12:03] sorry, try to install i http://kde.c3sl.ufpr.br/stable/oxygen-gtk/1.0.2/src/oxygen-gtk-1.0.2.tar.bz2 [12:04] Hi guys, I'm on Natty's alpha 2. Desktop effects are disabled and I can't enable it, " Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values. Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type. [12:04] why would oxygen-gtk break qtcurve and raleigh though? [12:04] i think that older oxygen version [12:05] try to install the newer version http://kde.c3sl.ufpr.br/stable/oxygen-gtk/1.0.2/src/oxygen-gtk-1.0.2.tar.bz2 [12:07] I manged to remove myself from the sudousers. what can I do now?

[12:14] trudell: nope :( [12:14] trudell: I just have another ubuntu computer and a couple live CDs [12:16] this is the first time that i listen about sudo user removed [12:16] I tried to add myself to the "vboxusers" group and I guess I messed up somehow [12:16] i have no idea to how recover it [12:16] it says “xx is not in the sudoers file.
