zaibach333MrChrisDruif, I have a live disk but I dont want to lose anything but its an option if you think you know how to do it that way00:51
MrChrisDruifzaibach333: Probably intel :)00:52
MrChrisDruifOr if it's really old; VIA :D00:52
zaibach333still... do you know a command or package I can download to get visual environment MrChrisDruif ?00:53
MrChrisDruifNo, sorry, but you could also try to recover the data on the drive and reinstalling...I know it "should" be possible to do without reinstalling, but I don't know how :)00:54

ddecatoranyone know how to disable the login sounds with the latest version of KDE?01:18
MrChrisDruifKDE no, Gnome I would...01:21
MrChrisDruifddecator: Isn't it part of the start up apps?01:21
ddecatorMrChrisDruif: not that i can see. gnome login sound is listed (since i switched from gnome) but there isn't one for kde01:23
ddecatorand yes, the gnome login sound is disabled, but the kde sound still plays01:23
MrChrisDruifxD01:23
MrChrisDruifMaybe in some sound preference thingy?01:24
ddecatori couldn't find it in the sound options, even though that's where it apparently was in previous versions :/01:24
MrChrisDruifAre there some login settings?01:28
ddecatoryah, but it doesn't mention audio or sound anywhere01:34
duanedesign_sara_: hello01:38
MrChrisDruifddecator: Good luck with your login sound problem :)02:00
ddecatoryofel: any idea how to disable login sounds with the latest version of kde? :)02:01
yofelhm...02:16
yofelre, had to recover from a GPU lockup followed by filesystem damage on natty, looking now..02:26
yofelddecator: seriously, no idea. I don't get the sound here, but I have the sound settings in system notifications set to no sound output, that disables everything though02:32
yofelddecator: feel free to poke in #kubuntu or #kde, maybe someone's awake02:33
ddecatoryofel: ah, never thought to do that. thanks02:33
yofeler wait...02:34
* yofel is too tired02:34
yofelddecator: go to system settings -> application and system notifications -> event source: kde workspace02:35
yofelthat has the login sound settings02:35
ddecatoryofel: i tried looking there before, but "kde workspace" isn't listed02:37
yofelhm, which kde version?02:37
ddecatoryofel: whatever is in the kubuntu-beta ppa right now02:38
yofel4.5.95, you should add kubuntu-ppa/backports for 4.6.0 - shouldn't matter though for this... http://yofel.dyndns.org/pics/ext/kde_sysnot.png02:40
ddecatoryofel: yah, that option definitely isn't showing up for me02:42

sdollinsHihi.05:53
sdollinsI recently bought a new laptop. A dell inspiron 17r.05:54
sdollinsI installed Ubuntu as soon as I got it. I'm having an issue with the keyboard. It randomly pastes whatever is on my clipboard when I'm typing.05:55
bioterrorsdollins, sounds ackward05:57
sdollinsand very annoying ;)05:58
bioterroryou did not have this with windows?05:58
sdollinsI don't really know05:58
sdollinsI only took the time to make recovery DVD's lol05:58
bioterrorI didnt even do that my desktop :D05:59
bioterror+with05:59
sdollinsheh.05:59
bioterrorbut I could suspent a hardware failure05:59
bioterrorI am using Ubuntu 10.04 with this laptop and everything is working fine. To get wireless working I was given an option during the installation to install proprietary Broadcom STA wireless driver. My wireless card is Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01), and my kernel is 2.6.32-26-generic-pae.05:59
sdollinsThe wireless card drove me nuts.06:00
sdollinsI had to disable wireless N on my router to get speeds higher than 8mbps06:00
sdollinsI wonder if it could be a combination of keys?06:00
sdollinsit just doesn't happen all the time so i can't figure out whats causing it. at first i thought it was my hand tapping the touch pad while typing but i'm pretty sure that's not it now06:01
bioterrornope, it would require "middle" button to be pressed to paste content from X clipboard06:02
seidossdollins: have you tried checking keyboard shortcuts in system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts?06:02
sdollinsDon't see anything there06:03
bioterrorsdollins, you can disale the click on tap of the touchpad06:03
bioterror:D06:03
sdollinsI know but I like that :<06:04
bioterrorI dont ^__^06:04
seidosme neither06:04
bioterrorbut you can try to be without it for a while06:04
sdollinsi wish it would do it now lol.06:04
bioterrorand most of all, you just need to duplicate the issue06:05
sdollinsBy the way, this channel is so much more pleasant than #ubuntu which I why I come here lol.06:05
bioterroryeah, we rule06:05
seidosthat reminds me, i should join #ubuntu06:05
bioterrorI've never visited that channel06:05
sdollinsToo much stuff going on in there to actually talk to anyone.06:06
seidosthat's usually the case, but some people manage to function in there06:06
sdollinsI guess my only problem is reproducing the issue.06:11
sdollinsAny tips on recording keyboard/touchpad input?06:11
bioterroryou just need to wait :D06:12
bioterroratleast I would do so06:12
sdollinsWell it happens all the time (but randomly)06:13
bioterrorI dont see anything in here yet06:14
bioterror:)06:14
sdollinsYeah, it isn't doing it now.06:14
sdollinsIt did it right before I joined though.06:14
bioterrorofcourse not as I am here :)06:14
sdollinsYes!06:15
sdollinsIsn't that how these things always work?06:15

seidosany ideas on how to remove evolution from docky?  i never use it, and i accidentally click on it from time to time18:25

johnny77seidos: did you try just dragging the icon off of the dock?18:35

* seidos attaches the stone of shame18:35

seidosi'll create a docky wiki on wiki.ubuntu.com18:37
bioterrorseidos, look at that url in your browser18:38
bioterrorseidos, I wonder why you see empty page :D18:39
johnny77seidos: The community wiki needs a docky page. This is what there is now. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnomeDo18:40
JackyAlcineThey need to add Synpase.18:41

johnny77seidos: sorry, I saw that wrong. I thought you were showing me a crappy outdated page like I did.18:53
johnny77seidos: But you just now created that, right?18:54
seidosjohnny77: no.  it's simple, but it would have proven useful earlier.18:54
seidosjohnny77: yes18:54
* johnny77 opens mouth and inserts foot. 18:54
seidosjohnny77: if you know more that you'd like to add, feel free18:54
seidosi'm not sure that there is anymore to be know about it, unless you are developing18:54
seidosi could add a development section...let me do that18:55
johnny77seidos: What focus group have you joined?18:55
seidosjohnny77: working on dev focus group18:55
seidosjohnny77: i probably should move to another group though.  i'm no dev.  perhaps wiki or something functional, then work on development on my spare time.18:57
johnny77seidos: It's your choice, but I really like working on the wiki so far. But also the more you work on being a dev then the better dev you'll be. Just keep at it.18:58
seidosjohnny77: i know19:03
seidosi know and i don't know19:03
seidosheh19:03
JackyAlcineI want to join the dev focus group.19:06
seidosi'd actually like to go where i'm needed19:07
seidoswiki isn't too hard i don't believe19:07
johnny77seidos: actually the wiki, for me, is pretty simple markup.19:11
seidosjohnny77: can always look at the source of another wiki to figure out how to do something19:12
seidosso yeah, i agree with you.  zkriesse is the wiki guy on the ubt19:12
seidosor, at least that's how he markets himself19:12
seidoslet's move the convo to ubt19:13
johnny77seidos: I don't think it works that way. When you edit a page, you use simple markup language to make it easy, but when you save it, the program behind it converts the simple language to HTML19:13
seidosjohnny77: i was referring to the "wiki source"19:16

MrAnthropeHmm my update manager failed. I think it's trying to download something for 32 bit and it says it has a dependency error. That'd be because I'm on 64 bit right?20:29
MrAnthropeIt says "ia32-libs". I tried deselecting lib32ncursesw5 (32bit) but it won't deselect...20:30
MrAnthropeMaybe restarting will fix it.20:45

kristian-aalborghi, anyone from Poland here?20:52
GeocosmCan someone tell me what apt-get -f does? Because that fixed my update manager lol20:57
kristian-aalborgGeocosm: -f = force, usually20:59
Axlinit attempts to fix broken packages (it's short for --fix-broken). use "$ man apt-get" for more info20:59
kristian-aalborgman apt-get surely holds the answer20:59
* kristian-aalborg is to lazy to look it up ;)20:59
Geocosmman?20:59
* kristian-aalborg is toO lazy even21:00
Axlinyep. in terminal, just type "man apt-get" and it will show you a manual page21:00
Axlinarrow keys to scroll, shift + Z + Z to exit21:00
wolfpackmanual21:00
Geocosmphew. Lots of stuff I don't understand. But I found it. how does apt-get know what to fix?21:02
GeocosmI didn't tell it which package had broken dependencies.21:02
bioterror!man | Geocosm21:03
ubot2Geocosm: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the  command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/21:03
wolfpackIt fixes all the broken dependencies21:03
GeocosmSo, back to my original question then. The update manager was trying to install 32 bit whatever-file on my 64 bit system. Is that why the dependencies were broken? And why do I need this file?21:04
