vbgunzcan anybody answer the question. why after a while using a nvidia gtx 460 card and effects running absolutely perfectly does the effects do a downward spiral into chugging as if I was running a 64mb card with a 2 bit interface? This has always happened and will happen after this reboot... I just don't know why it happens :/00:18
vbgunzwhy?00:18
vbgunzman I love kubuntu. been faithful to it and recommended it highly since kde 3.4. this is probably 3-4 releases now coming from ubuntu since maybe 3-4 releases before that but almost never getting an answer in irc leaves me with almost no faith in the end :/00:26
valorievbgunz: people are busy sometimes00:42
valorieand I for one have no clue about your issue00:42
valoriecheck on the forums maybe?00:42
valorieirc is great when there is someone who knows your answer available00:43
valorieotherwise -- the great silence00:43
vbgunzit's all good, I sometimes ask without expecting a response but after that is pretty much all that starts to happen, you start wondering00:44

jcgshey, does anyone know how to use k3b to burn a cd with folders on it?00:55
vbgunzjcgs: try a data burn00:57
jcgsvbgunz: what's that?00:58
vbgunzjcgs: a data project00:58
vbgunznew project > data project00:58
vbgunzfind it under file00:58
jcgsvbgunz:I'm already using a data project, but it won't let me add folders, only individual files :(01:00
vbgunzthats a very unusual problem01:00
vbgunznot sure what the issue could be01:01
vbgunzjcgs: try again from scratch01:01
vbgunzyou can save what you've done btw01:01
jcgsI did, but it still won't let me add folders, it just says "more than one folder has been selected, and this dialogue does not accept folders..."01:03
vbgunzdo you have 3 panes open in the main gui?01:04
vbgunztop left pane is a tree browser to get to all folders, quickly. the top right pane is the data of the currently selected folder (from your left pane)... the bottom pane is your disk and what it currently looks like01:05
vbgunzyou can drag data from the right top pane into the bottom pane01:05
jcgsi'm trying to add files to the project with the add files dialogue01:05
vbgunzjcgs: try to use the drag and drop interface, loads quicker imho01:06
vbgunzjcgs: do you have the 3 panes? system browser, folder browser, disk data panes?01:07
jcgsvbgunz: that makes sense, it's just not obvious that's how it works01:07
vbgunzahh01:07
jcgsi just thought that if I selected the 3 folders i wanted to add in the add files to project dialogue, it would add them, but obviously not01:08
vbgunzI almost went nuts once too on gwenview about something similiarly simply... made me feel mega stupid01:08
jcgsI guess it's like all of these things, it probably makes perfect sense if you've used roxio before or w/e01:14
jcgsvbgunz: thanks a lot :) iy's totally working now01:22
vbgunzjcgs: very cool, glad it worked out :)01:34
u19809hi all, I need to reinstall my nvidia proprietary driver but i first need to remove it completely.  after remove of all nvidia* packages I still seem to get an nvidia module loaded as the dmesg output shows a tainted kernel because of nvidia module01:39
u19809How can I get rid of nvidia completely ?01:39
valorieu19809: maybe "purge" rather than just "remove" in your command line?01:47
u19809I purged01:49
valorieyou might need to restart as well02:05
valoriesince the system presumably is using the module now02:05
wyldguyhow can i get Synaptic Package Manager sudo su in term cant locate it03:13
wyldguyalso is it possible to fully remove kwallet its rather agravating03:14

expectohi05:08
expectohow can i install a folder i unzipped05:08
expectowhats the command?05:08
expectoin ubuntu 10.1005:08
expecto#ubuntu05:16
nlsthznhi expecto to join ubuntu channel use the /join command05:18
DarthFrogexpecto:  What is the executable in that directory?  The command would be "<path to executable>/<executable name>.  If you are already in the executables directory, you can use the "." shortcut.  "." means "current directory.  So the command in that case would be "./<executable name>.  In either form you may need to preface the command with "sudo" if it requires root privileges to install.05:40
DarthFrogBy default, the current directory is not in your $PATH.05:41
DarthFrogAnd, FYI, ".." means "parent directory".05:41

alesanhi07:22
alesana question: the normal ubuntu is going through a lot of user interface changes etc07:22
alesanwill the same happen to kubuntu or...?07:22
alesanI personally like when things are as close as possible to upstream, so an unpatched KDE would be best...07:23
valoriealesan: we are built on the *buntu base07:30
valoriebut are firmly KDE on top07:30
alesanok but07:31
valorieas for specific patches, you'd have to ask07:31
alesanwhat if "you" begin to change the KDE UI or similar etc07:31
alesanwith patches I mean swap the position of the window buttons, put ugly colors, etc07:32
valorieno07:32
valoriethat won't happen07:32
valoriefor starters, KDE is all about you in control07:32
valorieso if you want to switch button placement, go ahead07:32
alesanwhat o yo umean "for starters"?07:32
valoriewe go with KDE defaults07:32
alesanok good :)07:33
valorieand by "we" I mean the Kubuntu community07:33
alesanok07:33
valorieif you are a kub. user, and want to participate, you are one of the people with a voice07:34
alesanso is canonical also "contributing" on KDE or...?07:34
alesanwell is there a website (or could you explain) what a kubuntu user could "contribute"? I mean, shouldn;t I contribute directly to KDE?07:35
alesanI thought kubuntu was only makeing packages (yes I know it can be tricky)07:35
valorieyou can do either or both07:35
valorieas most kub. people do07:35
alesanoh ok07:35
valorieCanonical contributes some, yes07:36
valoriepays Riddell to develop on Kub07:36
alesanRiddel?07:36
valoriepays for a server, provides webspace, etc. etc.07:36
macoalesan: Jonathan Riddell. kubuntu was kinda his idea07:36
alesanok07:36
macolots of Kubuntu devs write patches for KDE07:36
alesangood07:37
macoit's policy around these parts that upstream KDE must at least approve the patches before we merge them07:37
valoriethey finance lots of us to go to UDS07:37
macogenerally, they merge them as well07:37
valorieCanonical is in many ways a community member07:37
alesanI am an... "average" Qt programmer, not too good, not too bad, but I have never used the KDE libs or similar...07:37
macoif upstream KDE says the patch is a bad idea, it doesn't go in07:37
alesananything I should read t oget started?07:37
macoalesan: api.kde.org (now that it's finally back online...) should be handy, but i dont think there's a whole lot different to know...07:38
alesanvalorie, UDS?07:38
macoUbuntu DEveloper Summit07:38
macoapi.kde.org was offline back when i was writing my first Qt/KDE app :(07:38
alesannormally I tend to write Qt only so it's more easily ported to window or mac07:38
macoKDE libs have been ported now07:39
macothough i don't know how much debugging they've had07:39

mogihello, i have an error message on bootup right after the grub menu which says that i915 symbols could not be loaded, i searched some forums and it seems that the intel_ips kernel module is responsible for this. However i have an ATI Radeon 550v on a Dell N5010 Laptop, would it cost me performance-wise if i just remove this module?12:06

shane4ubuntuin amarok I can't seem to find the internet button, I have three boxs, Media Sources - Playlist  - Context in that order, I would think that the internet thing would be in the Media Sources?13:26
shane4ubuntufor internet radio option, with predefined radio stations13:27
shane4ubuntuor is that not an option?13:27
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu: Under "Media Sources", I have "Local Music" "Internet" "Playlists" "Files" & "Podcasts".13:27
* nlsthzn also has those, Amarok 2.4.013:28
shane4ubuntuSomehow I'm stuck in Local Music, I have a file browser that is it.13:28
shane4ubuntuahh, found it13:28
nlsthznshane4ubuntu: :) cool13:28
shane4ubuntuclicked on the little Home icon at the very top13:28
shane4ubuntuI kept clicking on the home in the file browser which took me home to my directory13:28
shane4ubuntuis there a way to add a Talk/News type radio in there?13:29
DarthFrogYes.   Under Tools/Script Manager.13:30
shane4ubuntuahh, but I have to know the radio streaming url13:31
shane4ubuntu:(  I'm not in the USA and I want to listen to radio news from the USA and many radios have it blocked.13:32
shane4ubuntuso I wanted to pick from a list, but I don't see that.13:32
DarthFrogshane4ubuntu: Poke around in the "Get More Scripts" section.  If nothing else, install the script for ShoutCast, which will most likely have what you want.13:33
shane4ubuntuI did a quick search in the scripts, I will check again, what is shoutcast?13:34
DarthFroghttp://www.shoutcast.com/13:35

nlsthznGuest40010: http://www.ehow.com/how_2015233_block-someone-skype.html13:41
shane4ubuntuGuest40010: in options there is a way I think it is under privacy, you can set it so that only people you have in your list can talk to you.13:41
shane4ubuntuthat is the first thing I set in skype13:42
shane4ubuntuGuest40010: oh, even easier yet, Options -> Blocked People13:42

Guest40010anelin velev and zhivko georgiev are they13:49
james147Guest40010: ^^ most hacking attempts are done automatically... not targeted... ubuntu is very secure against automated attacks, but nothing will stop a detemined attacked if they focus on you... which is highly unlikly13:49
Guest40010yes.13:49
nlsthznGuest40010: as unlikely as it may be that you get targeted to get to you when you are using a version of Linux makes it so difficult... put ufw on and have good surfing habits and you will be ok13:49
DarthFrogjames147: In Linux, most successful attacks are via social engineering, not via worms/trojans/viruses.13:50
james147DarthFrog: yea13:50
Guest40010but zhivko georgiev is read books about linix and social engineering. and how to be protected from social engineering13:50

Guest40010why?13:52
Guest40010what is the risk13:52
DarthFrogGuest40010: Have a very strong password.13:52
james147Guest40010: social engineering is an attack on the weekest aprt of the computer... the user... so as long as they dont do anyhting stupid you shouldnt need to worry13:52

DarthFrograheel: First thing, don't print Postscript as text.  DAMHIKT. :-)13:54

=== MuzerAway is now known as Muzer
DarthFrogGuest40010: Keep in mind that the vast, overwhelming majority of automated attacks, etc., are aimed at users of proprietary operating systems.  Running Kubuntu in the first place is an excellent preventive measure, amongst the many other benefits.14:04
Guest40010and for this reason i stopped using windows 714:05
DarthFrogGuest40010: And there is a program, called chkrootkit, which will scan your Linux system for rootkits.14:05
Guest40010i have preffered linux ubuntu, linux mint or suse14:05
nlsthznGuest40010: once you add your username and password they have your info to do stuff with ... your youtube log in is also your gmail log in info... they can use it then etc. however, that site can't install anything nasty on your PC is you don't allow it14:05
DarthFrogAnd if you're really concerned, stay away from Facebook.14:06
Guest40010they use a program for uploading clips - youtube grabber, i hope you know that14:06
nlsthznGuest40010: and you have to allow this application to install/run... not much can save you from ignorance...14:08
Guest40010what is the problem with facebook14:08

randomOfAmberhello, I'm having an issue where there's a shadow in my screen (like a window is there) but there aren't any windows there.  it's there even if I reboot.  how can I fix this?17:17
kannan__any tool to profile KDE boot ? so that time taken for logon can be reduced ?17:18
james147randomOfAmber: can you post a screen shot of it?17:18
randomOfAmberjames147: it's gone... must be a widget thing because it changed when I started messing with them17:19
randomOfAmberis there a way I can make widgets only visible from the dashboard?17:20
billytwowillyhi, I'm creating a 9 TB raid array and thinking about formatting it ext4 are there any special commands I should pass to mkfs to get the best performance out of the filesystem?17:21
james147randomOfAmber: yes, system settings > workspace behaviour > workspace > "Dashboard: Show an independent widget set"17:24
james147billytwowilly: you will probally want to pass "-m 1"  << to reduce the reserved space to 1%17:26
james147(or less if it can take decimals... though i am not sure if it can)17:26
randomOfAmberjames147: awesome ^^ thanks17:27
* james147 notes that the default is 5% and that the reserved blocks are reserved so taht only root can write to them, to stop the system dieing once the user fills the drive, 17:28
ct529I am tryin to add a manually installed application to all menus in kde17:28
ct529how do you do that?17:28
james147ct529: right click kmenu > edit applciation, or run "kmenuedit"17:29
ct529james147: nope, I would like to add from CLI and add for all the users on the machine17:30
ct529james147: when I said to all the menus in kde, I meant to the kde menus for all the users17:31
james147ct529: then create a *.desktop file and place it in the right location (cant remember exactly where, but 'find /usr -name "*.desktop" '  should tell you :)  )17:31
james147and by "create" i mean copy an existing one :), or add an enrty in kmenuedit then copy the .desktop file it creates the the system location17:32
ct529james147: i have already done, and it does not work .... that is the reason for contacting the room17:33
james147where didyou copy it to?17:33
ct529james147: I have added the eclipse.desktop to the right place under /usr, and even rebooted the machine17:33
james147run "kbuildsycoca4" see if that helps17:34
james147(and where exactly did you copy it?17:34

ct529james147: and in /usr/share/app-install/desktop/17:35
BluesKajjames147, I neglected to add the command for adjusting menu fonts in files and dirs . Can you remind me what that command is ?17:37

=== darek is now known as Guest55487
ct529james147: no, not even running kbuildsycoca4 (either as user or root) solves the problem17:41

james147ct529: what happens if you search for it in the menu?17:47
ct529james147: it is not there17:47
ct529james147: good it has appeared in the menu, but the menu search does not find it and the comment does not appear17:53
james147hmm, never seen the search not find anything in the menu :p17:53
james147^^ s/anything/something that is in17:54
ct529james147: just happened17:58

ct529james147: 10.10 64 bit18:33
ct529james147: by the way, if i want eclipse to open when I double click on *.java files, do I just add  to the command in the *.desktop file, or does that only work for KDE applications?18:34
james147ct529: add it to the file associations in system settings  (or right click a .java file > properties > the spanner icon...)18:35
ct529james147: I have already done that18:36
ct529james147: what happens is that eclipse open, but it does not open the file itself18:37
james147ct529: dose it work if you pass the file name to eclipse on command line?18:37
ct529james147: wait18:37
ct529james147: no18:39
james147ct529: then its a problem with eclipse18:40
ct529james147: I wonder also if the file association si set at a global level, for all the users, or only for the user that is logged in18:40
* james147 has a burning hate for the eclipse ide... dosnt understand why people like it so much18:41
james147ct529: the file associationn is fine if its opeing eclipse... the problem is eclipe isnt opening the file18:41
ct529james147: yes18:42
james147ct529: and if it wont open a file from the command line then your not going to get it to from the file association18:42
ct529james147: possibly because you can develop using all the languages you know, it is integrated with compiler and debugger, it is very stable, it is portable across platform, it is performant .... :-D18:42
james147ct529: and if dreadfully designed, over bloated, poorly coded and dosnt even have a proper install method....18:43
ct529james147: why dreadfully designed? I find it really easy .... better than anything else I have used ....18:44
ct529james147: installation takes approx 20 minutes18:44
ct529james147: if you want multiuser, if single user then 4 minutes18:44
james147ct529: :) the plugins, for example, cannot be uninstalled once installed, the settings system is clunky.. there is like 5 places you can change the color settings, of which 1/2 are stored with the workspace, and the other half golbally...18:45
james147^^ i find i spend more time fighting with it and trying to get it "set up right" then actually doing anything useful in it18:46
ct529james147: you are totally right on the settings :-D18:46
james147^^ but then again, i havent found a better ide for java...18:46
james147ct529: like just yesterday, i tryed importing an existing project into it for someone, took like half an hour to get it done properly...18:47
ct529james147: it sounds bad18:50
ct529james147: the documentation is really bad, and often contrdictory19:01
james147ct529: for what exactly?19:02
ct529james147: to mention but a few? look at increasing the heap, or how to open a file from command line ....19:02
james147ct529: sane programs tend to use "command file1 file2" ... try eclipse --help  or  -h19:04
ct529james147: yes, that was the first thing I tried19:04
ct529james147: right, I have to go .... nice talking to you19:05
