[00:18] <vbgunz> can 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] <vbgunz> why?
[00:26] <vbgunz> man 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 :/
[00:42] <valorie> vbgunz: people are busy sometimes
[00:42] <valorie> and I for one have no clue about your issue
[00:42] <valorie> check on the forums maybe?
[00:43] <valorie> irc is great when there is someone who knows your answer available
[00:43] <valorie> otherwise -- the great silence
[00:44] <vbgunz> it's all good, I sometimes ask without expecting a response but after that is pretty much all that starts to happen, you start wondering
[00:55] <jcgs> hey, does anyone know how to use k3b to burn a cd with folders on it?
[00:57] <vbgunz> jcgs: try a data burn
[00:58] <jcgs> vbgunz: what's that?
[00:58] <vbgunz> jcgs: a data project
[00:58] <vbgunz> new project > data project
[00:58] <vbgunz> find it under file
[01:00] <jcgs> vbgunz:I'm already using a data project, but it won't let me add folders, only individual files :(
[01:00] <vbgunz> thats a very unusual problem
[01:01] <vbgunz> not sure what the issue could be
[01:01] <vbgunz> jcgs: try again from scratch
[01:01] <vbgunz> you can save what you've done btw
[01:03] <jcgs> I 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..."
[01:04] <vbgunz> do you have 3 panes open in the main gui?
[01:05] <vbgunz> top 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 like
[01:05] <vbgunz> you can drag data from the right top pane into the bottom pane
[01:05] <jcgs> i'm trying to add files to the project with the add files dialogue
[01:06] <vbgunz> jcgs: try to use the drag and drop interface, loads quicker imho
[01:07] <vbgunz> jcgs: do you have the 3 panes? system browser, folder browser, disk data panes?
[01:07] <jcgs> vbgunz: that makes sense, it's just not obvious that's how it works
[01:07] <vbgunz> ahh
[01:08] <jcgs> i 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 not
[01:08] <vbgunz> I almost went nuts once too on gwenview about something similiarly simply... made me feel mega stupid
[01:14] <jcgs> I guess it's like all of these things, it probably makes perfect sense if you've used roxio before or w/e
[01:22] <jcgs> vbgunz: thanks a lot :) iy's totally working now
[01:34] <vbgunz> jcgs: very cool, glad it worked out :)
[01:39] <u19809> hi 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 module
[01:39] <u19809> How can I get rid of nvidia completely ?
[01:47] <valorie> u19809: maybe "purge" rather than just "remove" in your command line?
[01:49] <u19809> I purged
[02:05] <valorie> you might need to restart as well
[02:05] <valorie> since the system presumably is using the module now
[03:13] <wyldguy> how can i get Synaptic Package Manager sudo su in term cant locate it
[03:14] <wyldguy> also is it possible to fully remove kwallet its rather agravating
[03:14] <valorie> you should be able to find that in kpackagekit
[03:14] <valorie> it isn't installed by default
[03:14] <valorie> check out muon
[03:14] <wyldguy> soon as i log on i gotta fight with it to get on my wifi
[03:15] <valorie> and you might abandon synaptic, as I have done
[03:15] <valorie> and actually, in 10.10, kpk is finally usable
[03:15] <valorie> didn't install synaptic this time at all
[03:17] <wyldguy> how can i use dolphin as root?
[03:17] <wyldguy> likely need to edit sources list eh?
[03:18] <valorie> kdesudo dolphin
[03:20] <u19809> i want to reinstall the proprietary nvidia driver but 'additional hardware' does not detect the nvidia card (it does not offer me an install of the driver)
[03:29] <wyldguy> my day just cant get better stupid sytem is borked
[03:30] <wyldguy> keeps asking me for disk and hit enter i do and do and nothing happens
[03:33] <wyldguy> Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
[03:34] <wyldguy> thats it for me im gonna move onto another system
 :now it works fine..thanx
[05:08] <expecto> hi
[05:08] <expecto> how can i install a folder i unzipped
[05:08] <expecto> whats the command?
[05:08] <expecto> in ubuntu 10.10
[05:16] <expecto> #ubuntu
[05:18] <nlsthzn> hi expecto to join ubuntu channel use the /join command
[05:40] <DarthFrog> expecto:  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.
[05:41] <DarthFrog> By default, the current directory is not in your $PATH.
[05:41] <DarthFrog> And, FYI, ".." means "parent directory".
[07:22] <alesan> hi
[07:22] <alesan> a question: the normal ubuntu is going through a lot of user interface changes etc
[07:22] <alesan> will the same happen to kubuntu or...?
[07:23] <alesan> I personally like when things are as close as possible to upstream, so an unpatched KDE would be best...
[07:30] <valorie> alesan: we are built on the *buntu base
[07:30] <valorie> but are firmly KDE on top
[07:31] <alesan> ok but
[07:31] <valorie> as for specific patches, you'd have to ask
[07:31] <alesan> what if "you" begin to change the KDE UI or similar etc
[07:32] <alesan> with patches I mean swap the position of the window buttons, put ugly colors, etc
[07:32] <valorie> no
[07:32] <valorie> that won't happen
[07:32] <valorie> for starters, KDE is all about you in control
[07:32] <valorie> so if you want to switch button placement, go ahead
[07:32] <alesan> what o yo umean "for starters"?
[07:32] <valorie> we go with KDE defaults
[07:33] <alesan> ok good :)
[07:33] <valorie> and by "we" I mean the Kubuntu community
[07:33] <alesan> ok
[07:34] <valorie> if you are a kub. user, and want to participate, you are one of the people with a voice
[07:34] <alesan> so is canonical also "contributing" on KDE or...?
[07:35] <alesan> well 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] <alesan> I thought kubuntu was only makeing packages (yes I know it can be tricky)
[07:35] <valorie> you can do either or both
[07:35] <valorie> as most kub. people do
[07:35] <alesan> oh ok
[07:36] <valorie> Canonical contributes some, yes
[07:36] <valorie> pays Riddell to develop on Kub
[07:36] <alesan> Riddel?
[07:36] <valorie> pays for a server, provides webspace, etc. etc.
[07:36] <maco> alesan: Jonathan Riddell. kubuntu was kinda his idea
[07:36] <alesan> ok
[07:36] <maco> lots of Kubuntu devs write patches for KDE
[07:37] <alesan> good
[07:37] <maco> it's policy around these parts that upstream KDE must at least approve the patches before we merge them
[07:37] <valorie> they finance lots of us to go to UDS
[07:37] <maco> generally, they merge them as well
[07:37] <valorie> Canonical is in many ways a community member
[07:37] <alesan> I am an... "average" Qt programmer, not too good, not too bad, but I have never used the KDE libs or similar...
[07:37] <maco> if upstream KDE says the patch is a bad idea, it doesn't go in
[07:37] <alesan> anything I should read t oget started?
[07:38] <maco> alesan: 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] <alesan> valorie, UDS?
[07:38] <maco> Ubuntu DEveloper Summit
[07:38] <maco> api.kde.org was offline back when i was writing my first Qt/KDE app :(
[07:38] <alesan> normally I tend to write Qt only so it's more easily ported to window or mac
[07:39] <maco> KDE libs have been ported now
[07:39] <maco> though i don't know how much debugging they've had
[07:39] <maco> valorie: does amarok run on windows?
[07:43] <ruslanx> hi all. I have a small problem with ssh connection with Cisco after a certain period of falling off the console. on Cisco exec-timeout can not be changed. How to solve this puzzle?
[07:44] <valorie> maco: yes
[07:44] <valorie> quite a few people are running it
[07:44] <valorie> they haven't gotten it going in project neon yet
[07:45] <an1> how do i know my display resolution? is it in xorg.conf? what is its path?
[07:46] <valorie> maco: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download:Windows
[07:47] <maco> an1: type "xrandr" and look for the one with the *
[07:47] <an1> ok. got it (xrandr)
[07:47] <an1> maco: thanks!
[08:57] <fixman> hello. i have problem. http://img703.imageshack.us/i/snapshot1rx.png/ ant the bottom of the screenshot the panel is soooooooooooo small that i can't really use it. how can i expend it?
[09:04] <valorie> wth happened to what I just typed to fixman?
[09:05] <valorie> anyway, can you click on the cashew on the right-hand bottom of your screen?
[11:24] <peremen> my plasma just crashed and won't start
[11:26] <peremen> ah, just solved
[12:06] <mogi> hello, 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?
[12:35] <Guest78546> how to identify myself
[12:41] <nlsthzn> Guest78546: what client are you using?
[12:42] <Guest78546> quassel irc
[12:42] <nlsthzn> you can try /nick <new name>
[12:42] <nlsthzn> Guest78546: or click on your name at the bottom right of where you type your messages and edit it there
[12:43] <nlsthzn> Guest78546: ok, that doesnt work sorry... just type /nick and a new name after it
[12:44] <rumen> i did it
[12:44] <nlsthzn> sweet
[12:45] <Guest40010> and how ti id my nick
[12:45] <Guest40010> it changed back to guest
[12:45] <nlsthzn> you can set your nick when you log in initiall too....
[12:45] <nlsthzn> some nicks are already registered
[12:45] <Guest40010> okay
[12:46] <Guest40010> i have a question how to block someone in skype by ip
[12:46] <nlsthzn> if you click on the top of the lists coloum you get status messages, check there for any info
[12:46] <Guest40010> how to do it
[12:48] <raheel> i need to  know how to limit the maximum "pages per job" using cups or lpadmin
[12:50] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: sorry I have no info for skype... was still trying to assist you with your IRC clients
[13:21] <basy> I just install something that install GNOME and set it as default for X, I want my KDE back, how to?
[13:25] <DarthFrog> basy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[13:25] <cortex|sk> basy:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[13:25] <cortex|sk> aah :D
[13:26] <DarthFrog> cortex|sk: Great minds think alike. :-)
[13:26] <shane4ubuntu> in 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?
[13:27] <shane4ubuntu> for internet radio option, with predefined radio stations
[13:27] <shane4ubuntu> or is that not an option?
[13:27] <DarthFrog> shane4ubuntu: Under "Media Sources", I have "Local Music" "Internet" "Playlists" "Files" & "Podcasts".
[13:28]  * nlsthzn also has those, Amarok 2.4.0
[13:28] <shane4ubuntu> Somehow I'm stuck in Local Music, I have a file browser that is it.
[13:28] <shane4ubuntu> ahh, found it
[13:28] <nlsthzn> shane4ubuntu: :) cool
[13:28] <shane4ubuntu> clicked on the little Home icon at the very top
[13:28] <shane4ubuntu> I kept clicking on the home in the file browser which took me home to my directory
[13:29] <shane4ubuntu> is there a way to add a Talk/News type radio in there?
[13:30] <DarthFrog> Yes.   Under Tools/Script Manager.
[13:31] <shane4ubuntu> ahh, but I have to know the radio streaming url
[13:32] <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] <shane4ubuntu> so I wanted to pick from a list, but I don't see that.
[13:33] <DarthFrog> shane4ubuntu: Poke around in the "Get More Scripts" section.  If nothing else, install the script for ShoutCast, which will most likely have what you want.
[13:34] <shane4ubuntu> I did a quick search in the scripts, I will check again, what is shoutcast?
[13:35] <DarthFrog> http://www.shoutcast.com/
[13:36] <shane4ubuntu> DarthFrog: oooohh, that looks like what I want!  Thanks
[13:36] <DarthFrog> You're welcome.
[13:41] <Guest40010> tell me how to block some user in skype
[13:41] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: http://www.ehow.com/how_2015233_block-someone-skype.html
[13:41] <shane4ubuntu> Guest40010: 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.
[13:42] <shane4ubuntu> that is the first thing I set in skype
[13:42] <shane4ubuntu> Guest40010: oh, even easier yet, Options -> Blocked People
[13:43] <Guest40010> 10x very much
[13:43] <shane4ubuntu> Then Options -> Privacy -> only people I have allowed for both calls and chats that will fix about everything
[13:44] <Guest40010> i have another question: is it possible to send a rootkit or bck door to my linux ubuntu 1010
[13:45] <james147> Guest40010: possible... yes... probable... no... someone would have to be directly targting you or you have to be doing something stuid to catch a rootkit
[13:46] <Guest40010> how come?
[13:46] <nlsthzn> why would anyone with the skills to hack you take the time and effort to hack you?
[13:47] <Guest40010> i will tell you
[13:47] <Guest40010> to know everything about me
[13:48] <Guest40010> they want to know my password
[13:48] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: Who is "they"?
[13:49] <Guest40010> anelin velev and zhivko georgiev are they
[13:49] <james147> Guest40010: ^^ 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 unlikly
[13:49] <Guest40010> yes.
[13:49] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: 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 ok
[13:50] <DarthFrog> james147: In Linux, most successful attacks are via social engineering, not via worms/trojans/viruses.
[13:50] <james147> DarthFrog: yea
[13:50] <Guest40010> but zhivko georgiev is read books about linix and social engineering. and how to be protected from social engineering
[13:50] <DarthFrog> james147: Oops, I mean that for Guest40010.  My bad.  The blood level in my coffee system is too high!
[13:50] <james147> DarthFrog: :)
[13:51] <james147> Guest40010: dont be stupid... dont give your password to anyone, do install things from untrusted sources
[13:51] <DarthFrog> james147: I know that you know that. :-)  And now you know that I know that you know that. :-)
[13:51] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: Don't leave your machine alone when logged on.
[13:52] <Guest40010> why?
[13:52] <Guest40010> what is the risk
[13:52] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: Have a very strong password.
[13:52] <james147> Guest40010: 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 worry
[13:52] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: Someone sitting down in front of it and sending an email threatening to assassinate Putin and putting your name on it?
[13:53] <Guest40010> and how to build a wall against social engineering
[13:53] <raheel> need help to set max pages per JOB while printing to avoid accidental printing of huge amount of pages is it even possible
[13:53] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: The wall against a social engineering attack is your mind.
[13:54] <Guest40010> this mean what?
[13:54] <DarthFrog> raheel: First thing, don't print Postscript as text.  DAMHIKT. :-)
[13:56] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: common sense... don't run anything you download from strange webb sites etc... dont surf places which will attract attention to you... illegal sites and silly stuff like that
[13:57] <Guest40010> could you tell me what is the differenece between www.mov.bg and www.youtube? just see some similarities.
[13:57] <Guest40010> could you tell me what is the differenece between www.mov.bg and www.youtube.com? just see some similarities.
[13:59] <james147> ^^ mov.bg looks like a youtube clone
[13:59] <Guest40010> yes, it is the site which steals users accounts
[13:59] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: this is typical a site to stay away from then :p
[13:59] <Guest40010> it is created by bulgarians veselin madjarov and anelin velev to exploit users like me
[14:00] <Guest40010> the bulgarian police is taken a good action for this occassion
[14:01] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: nothing you install on your pc can protect you against a site like this... if you put yout user details in there you should face the consequences
[14:02] <Guest40010> what kind of concequenses?
[14:02] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: What you're trying to avoid.
[14:02] <Guest40010> password tealing, phishing attacks
[14:02] <Guest40010> rootkits. exploits
[14:04] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: 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.
[14:05] <Guest40010> and for this reason i stopped using windows 7
[14:05] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: And there is a program, called chkrootkit, which will scan your Linux system for rootkits.
[14:05] <Guest40010> i have preffered linux ubuntu, linux mint or suse
[14:05] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: 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 it
[14:06] <DarthFrog> And if you're really concerned, stay away from Facebook.
[14:06] <Guest40010> they use a program for uploading clips - youtube grabber, i hope you know that
[14:08] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: and you have to allow this application to install/run... not much can save you from ignorance...
[14:08] <Guest40010> what is the problem with facebook
[14:09] <DarthFrog> nlsthzn: Education is the cure for ignorance.  Stupidity is terminal.
[14:09]  * nlsthzn hopes he isn't stupid then :p
[14:10] <Guest40010> their software  youtube grabber is running on windows only
[14:10] <Guest40010> i do not tell or pretend i am not stupid
[14:10] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: Not stupid, just un-informed.
[14:11] <DarthFrog> Guest40010: And you are trying to become informed. :-)
[14:11] <Guest40010> yes
[14:11] <Guest40010> i am trying to be well informed
[14:11] <nlsthzn> Guest40010: so you are already better protected than most :)
[14:11] <Guest40010> because i am using linux ubuntu
[14:12] <nlsthzn> and your here sharing information :)
[14:13] <Guest40010>  yes, i was lied and cheated volutarily to give my passwords and usernames, they are not hackers, but crackers
[14:13] <Guest40010> they do not have a good hacker's culture
[14:13] <Guest40010> or hacker's behavior
[14:14] <james147> hacker is an ambiguous term :p
[14:14] <Guest40010> what do u mean ambigous term?
[14:15] <sithlord48> as a real hacker i take offence to the common use of the word hacker
[14:15] <sithlord48> hacker is nothing more then a slang term for Programmer
[14:15] <Guest40010> yes, i tell you excuse me
[14:15]  * nlsthzn doubles the locks on his firewall, there are hackers about :p
[14:15] <james147> yup :)
[14:16] <sithlord48> i like to write code, i find it to be fun.
[14:16] <Guest40010> if you are real hacker, you have a good behaviour
[14:16] <sithlord48> yes my programs behave
[14:16] <Guest40010> what is the differenece between hacker and cracker?
[14:17] <DarthFrog> A hacker is someone who employs hacks, elegant solutions to problems.
[14:17] <sithlord48> crackers only care about breaking security systems
[14:17] <DarthFrog> A cracker is one who breaks into computer systems.
[14:17] <sithlord48> i.e my C project has a goto look (its not standard but it almost 10 lines shorter then the alternative)
[14:18] <sithlord48> loop*
[14:18] <DarthFrog> Hackers like hacks and avoid kludges.
[14:18] <Guest40010> and now am I protected against cracker's attack
[14:18] <sithlord48> although i will admit the project im working on is not of benifit to most people , its just a simple save game editor
[14:18] <sithlord48> but its written in Qt , so its my first step to developing for Kde :P
[14:19] <james147> sithlord48: :D
[14:19] <sithlord48> well i suspose one should say written using Qt.
[14:20] <sithlord48> if any of you play ff7 go grab a copy , http://blackchocobo.sourceforge.net (i even made windows and mac versions..)
[14:21] <sithlord48> so Guest40010 are you new to kubuntu or gnu/linux in general ?
[14:21] <Guest40010> yes, i am a newbie on linux
[14:21] <nlsthzn> anyideas why amarok will crash when trying to open a a .asx file (internet radio channel)... always worked in rhythmbox
[14:21] <sithlord48> nlsthzn:  can u open that as another playlist format?
[14:21] <james147> nlsthzn: what version
[14:22] <sithlord48> nlsthzn:  i would try a pls if you can they seam to work for me always..
[14:22] <nlsthzn> amarok 2.4.0, link is http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/rsg/rsg_22.asx
[14:23] <sithlord48> well when i go to play media and feed it that addy  amarok crashes (2.4 on kde 4.6.0)
[14:24] <nlsthzn> same here
[14:24] <sithlord48> rekonq says that is a asf video , putting the link in to rekonq i get audio but not video
[14:24] <nlsthzn> it is a audio feed
[14:24] <sithlord48> german?
[14:24] <nlsthzn> afrikaans
[14:24] <nlsthzn> :)
[14:24] <james147> nlsthzn: hmm, caused mine to crash as well... you might want to ask on #amarok
[14:25] <nlsthzn> will crash it again and upload the data as a bug... three confirmed cases :p
[14:25] <sithlord48> have you saved this playlist file localy?
[14:25] <nlsthzn> no... can try it I suppose
[14:25] <sithlord48> i would start by doing that first
[14:25] <sithlord48> the open dialog might not like the protocal
[14:25] <nlsthzn> I want to listen to some rugby damit :)
[14:26] <sithlord48> i can hear it but i dont know what they are saying..
[14:26] <sithlord48> it works in rekonq here...
[14:26] <nlsthzn> just want to finish installing the debugger etc. then I will try again
[14:26] <sithlord48> good idea , that helps a lot when submitting bugs :D
[14:27] <sithlord48> ah... amarok when did you get that spash screen back ... (gonna have to disable that..)
[14:27] <nlsthzn> dragon player also dies to it (saved the file locally)
[14:28] <sithlord48> does anyone know how i can use cups to share my printer from my buntu server to my kubuntu desktop?
[14:28] <nlsthzn> sithlord48: what are you using to listen to it>
[14:28] <nlsthzn> ?
[14:28] <sithlord48> nlsthzn: rekonq (the webbrowser)
[14:28] <nlsthzn> sithlord48: great, I uninstalled it :p
[14:28] <sithlord48> nlsthzn: try vlc it should work
[14:29] <nlsthzn> let me get installing then
[14:29] <sithlord48> also do you have the medibuntu repo enabled ? it says asf , and thats non free
[14:30] <nlsthzn> I should have all codecs covered... have not ran into any thing yet that I can't play
[14:30] <james147> sithlord48: that shouldnt cause amarok to crash... just error :p
[14:30] <sithlord48> james147:  yes that i know but it will need a codec, then again rekonq should suggest you install it..
[14:32] <nlsthzn> I have faith in vlc, neber let me down yet
[14:32] <sithlord48> :D
[14:34] <nlsthzn> :( vlc just crashed on start up... not the best start
[14:34] <sithlord48> no its not
[14:36] <nlsthzn> sithlord48: if I try and use the open file from inside vlc it just dies.. but opening the stream with vlc via righclick workd
[14:36] <nlsthzn> works
[14:36] <sithlord48> awesome
[14:36] <sithlord48> maybe its an isseue w/ the file dialog.
[14:37] <nlsthzn> sucks anyway...
[14:37] <nlsthzn> but I will only use vlc for this stream.. for every thing else there is amarok
[14:52] <mylinux> ;
[14:53] <nlsthzn> mylinux: ^_^
[14:55] <nlsthzn> anyone here using a sopcast player specific for KDE?
[14:57] <ct529> nlsthzn: what is a sopcast
[14:57] <nlsthzn> ct529: it is a streaming "protocol" over the internet... best way to describe it...
[14:58] <nlsthzn> I plan on watching the greatest game on earth via the internet :)
[14:59] <ct529> nlsthzn: what is that?
[14:59] <nlsthzn> Rugby off course :p
[15:00] <ct529> as long as it isn't cricket .... :-D
[15:00] <DarthFrog> Or baseball.
[15:01] <nlsthzn> ct529: cricket is also cool... world cup just started
[15:04] <ct529> nlsthzn: I think japanese invented seppuku after watching a game of cricket
[15:04] <nlsthzn> ct529: your nationality?
[15:05] <ct529> nlsthzn: :-D:-D
[15:05] <nlsthzn> ct529: american... figures ;)
[15:06] <ct529> nlsthzn: me???? not really ..... Italian ....
[15:06] <nlsthzn> oh well... at least you guys play rugby :D
[15:08] <ct529> nlsthzn: yes, not bad that one .... :-D ....
[15:08] <nlsthzn> pity getting an online feed in near impossible QQ
[15:12] <ct529> nlsthzn: http://www.sopcast.org/ is the only thing I can see ....
[15:13] <nlsthzn> ct529: thanks for the link... they have some info on linux players... but it doesn't seem there is anything native to kde...
[15:13] <nlsthzn> got one link sort of working...
[15:41] <lore_> hi
[15:42] <lore_> i got problem with upgrade from 10.4 to maverick
[15:42] <lore_> some1 can help me
[15:42] <lore_> ?
[15:44] <james147> lore_: not without knowing what the problem is
[15:45] <lore_> :) sorry man
[15:45] <lore_> well
[15:45] <lore_> i've enabled the package manager
[15:45] <lore_> to serach for new distribution
[15:45] <lore_> so
[15:46] <lore_> it tells me to upgrade to maverick
[15:46] <lore_> i do that
[15:46] <lore_> but
[15:46] <lore_> when it is the 2 step
[15:47] <lore_> "new channel..."
[15:47] <lore_> it stop the upgrade saying there's an error
[15:48]  * lore_ waitin' to get the erros message window
[15:48] <lore_> well
[15:49] <lore_> impossibile calcolare l'avanzamento
[15:50] <lore_> An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
[15:50] <lore_> E:Errore, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve ha generato delle interruzioni. Questo potrebbe essere causato da pacchetti bloccati.
[15:50] <lore_>  This can be caused by:

[15:59] <Titanhoss> Anyone have any luck getting kubuntu on some of the newer Toshiba Satellite laptops?
[15:59] <mastercactapus_> Anyone know how to get hdmi video working? Audio is working, tv detects signal and changes to proper resolution but the screen is just black
[16:03] <Titanhoss> seems like land of the idle.
[16:05] <mastercactapus_> ya
[16:08]  * Titanhoss thinks the register for the Kubuntu forums is buggy... hard to do the visual Captcha if they use keys not on your keyboard
[16:27] <dagopie> hola
[16:30] <dagopie> !list
[16:33] <dagopie> !list
[17:01] <ct529> dagopie: what ar eyou trying to do?
[17:17] <randomOfAmber> hello, 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?
[17:18] <kannan__> any tool to profile KDE boot ? so that time taken for logon can be reduced ?
[17:18] <james147> randomOfAmber: can you post a screen shot of it?
[17:19] <randomOfAmber> james147: it's gone... must be a widget thing because it changed when I started messing with them
[17:20] <randomOfAmber> is there a way I can make widgets only visible from the dashboard?
[17:21] <billytwowilly> hi, 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?
[17:24] <james147> randomOfAmber: yes, system settings > workspace behaviour > workspace > "Dashboard: Show an independent widget set"
[17:26] <james147> billytwowilly: 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)
[17:27] <randomOfAmber> james147: awesome ^^ thanks
[17:28]  * 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] <ct529> I am tryin to add a manually installed application to all menus in kde
[17:28] <ct529> how do you do that?
[17:29] <james147> ct529: right click kmenu > edit applciation, or run "kmenuedit"
[17:30] <ct529> james147: nope, I would like to add from CLI and add for all the users on the machine
[17:31] <ct529> james147: when I said to all the menus in kde, I meant to the kde menus for all the users
[17:31] <james147> ct529: then create a *.desktop file and place it in the right location (cant remember exactly where, but 'find /usr -name "*.desktop" '  should tell you :)  )
[17:32] <james147> and by "create" i mean copy an existing one :), or add an enrty in kmenuedit then copy the .desktop file it creates the the system location
[17:33] <ct529> james147: i have already done, and it does not work .... that is the reason for contacting the room
[17:33] <james147> where didyou copy it to?
[17:33] <ct529> james147: I have added the eclipse.desktop to the right place under /usr, and even rebooted the machine
[17:34] <james147> run "kbuildsycoca4" see if that helps
[17:34] <james147> (and where exactly did you copy it?
[17:35] <ct529> james147: both in /usr/share/applications
[17:35] <ct529> james147: and in /usr/share/app-install/desktop/
[17:37] <BluesKaj> james147, I neglected to add the command for adjusting menu fonts in files and dirs . Can you remind me what that command is ?
[17:38] <james147> BluesKaj: not sure what you mean
[17:40] <BluesKaj> id files and dirs called up as sudo the font in the toolbar and menubar are too small tom read , I need to adjust them but forgotten how
[17:40] <BluesKaj> er the file
[17:41] <ct529> james147: no, not even running kbuildsycoca4 (either as user or root) solves the problem
[17:41] <james147> BluesKaj: you mean set the font size of root windows?
[17:41] <BluesKaj> in a word yes
[17:41]  * james147 notes that you should run it as root
[17:42] <james147> BluesKaj: then run systemsettings as root (kdesudo systemsettings) and set them there
[17:42] <james147> ct529: are you sure the .desktop file is valid? try copying one of the other ones and editing it
[17:43] <james147> (and check the lsot and found in the menu)
[17:43] <ct529> james147: that is what I did
[17:43] <ct529> james147: lsot?
[17:44] <james147> lost
[17:46] <ct529> james147: do I have to reboot?
[17:46] <james147> no
[17:46]  * james147 isnt even sure if it will help
[17:47] <ct529> james147: I did it again, cancelled the previous file, copied freemind.desktop that appear in all menus and then rebuild the cache, but no changes
[17:47] <james147> ct529: what happens if you search for it in the menu?
[17:47] <ct529> james147: it is not there
[17:53] <ct529> james147: good it has appeared in the menu, but the menu search does not find it and the comment does not appear
[17:53] <james147> hmm, never seen the search not find anything in the menu :p
[17:54] <james147> ^^ s/anything/something that is in
[17:58] <ct529> james147: just happened
[17:58] <ct529> james147: again
[17:59] <ct529> james147: so I removed the .desktop file and rebuild the cache, and it has disappeared from the menu .... let's start from scratch
[18:04] <ct529> james147: again, and the comment does not appear in the menu, and the search does not find it
[18:05] <ct529> james147: let's see if I reboot
[18:13] <ct529> now it works, after rebooting
[18:20] <BluesKaj> seem to have kickermenu glitch in kde4.6 . It launches as huge window with the top of it layerd just above the plasma panel , had resize and reset it after every boot , it's becoming a pita
[18:33] <ct529> james147: mmmm .... kubuntu is in need of some TLC :-:
[18:33] <james147> ct529: what version are you using?
[18:33] <ct529> james147: 10.10 64 bit
[18:34] <ct529> james147: 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?
[18:35] <james147> ct529: add it to the file associations in system settings  (or right click a .java file > properties > the spanner icon...)
[18:36] <ct529> james147: I have already done that
[18:37] <ct529> james147: what happens is that eclipse open, but it does not open the file itself
[18:37] <james147> ct529: dose it work if you pass the file name to eclipse on command line?
[18:37] <ct529> james147: wait
[18:39] <ct529> james147: no
[18:40] <james147> ct529: then its a problem with eclipse
[18:40] <ct529> james147: 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 in
[18:41]  * james147 has a burning hate for the eclipse ide... dosnt understand why people like it so much
[18:41] <james147> ct529: the file associationn is fine if its opeing eclipse... the problem is eclipe isnt opening the file
[18:42] <ct529> james147: yes
[18:42] <james147> ct529: and if it wont open a file from the command line then your not going to get it to from the file association
[18:42] <ct529> james147: 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 .... :-D
[18:43] <james147> ct529: and if dreadfully designed, over bloated, poorly coded and dosnt even have a proper install method....
[18:44] <ct529> james147: why dreadfully designed? I find it really easy .... better than anything else I have used ....
[18:44] <ct529> james147: installation takes approx 20 minutes
[18:44] <ct529> james147: if you want multiuser, if single user then 4 minutes
[18:45] <james147> ct529: :) 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...
[18:46] <james147> ^^ i find i spend more time fighting with it and trying to get it "set up right" then actually doing anything useful in it
[18:46] <ct529> james147: you are totally right on the settings :-D
[18:46] <james147> ^^ but then again, i havent found a better ide for java...
[18:47] <james147> ct529: like just yesterday, i tryed importing an existing project into it for someone, took like half an hour to get it done properly...
[18:50] <ct529> james147: it sounds bad
[19:01] <ct529> james147: the documentation is really bad, and often contrdictory
[19:02] <james147> ct529: for what exactly?
[19:02] <ct529> james147: to mention but a few? look at increasing the heap, or how to open a file from command line ....
[19:04] <james147> ct529: sane programs tend to use "command file1 file2" ... try eclipse --help  or  -h
[19:04] <ct529> james147: yes, that was the first thing I tried
[19:05] <ct529> james147: right, I have to go .... nice talking to you
[19:05] <james147> see ya
[20:42] <pulaski> Hello. I have and amd64 desktop box. I've had trouble in the past installing and running kubuntu 10.10. I am going to try and grab a new live CD and reinstall. From the kubuntu download page at http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download#download-block I'm being prompted for at 32 bit (recommended) or a 64 bit version. In the past I've chosen the 64bit version. When kubuntu says the 32 bit
[20:42] <pulaski> version is recommended, can I choose that version and sucessfully run and install it on my 64bit machine?
[20:42] <FloodBotK1> pulaski: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:44] <pulaski> Why did I get a "Please don't flood" message from the bot?

[21:35] <rtdos> is there an alternative to virtual box ?
[21:35] <TornadoXubuntu> rtdos: vmware
[21:36] <james147> TornadoXubuntu: ark can compress files, and should be able to encrypt them as well, though i have never tried
[21:36] <TornadoXubuntu> i am not able to encrypt them, am not seeing an option for that james147
[21:37] <james147> hmm, maby not...
[21:37] <TornadoXubuntu> is there a way around it james147?
[21:37] <rtdos> that's free, TornadoXubuntu.
[21:38] <TornadoXubuntu> yes there is a free version rtdos
[21:38] <TornadoXubuntu> not fully functional but still
[21:38] <james147> TornadoXubuntu: try kgpg
[21:40] <genii-around> If you use regular zip from cli, you can use -e switch to encrypt
[21:42] <TornadoXubuntu> kgpg encrypt with a password?
[21:42] <TornadoXubuntu> it is requesting a key
[21:51] <TornadoXubuntu> ok i got it! ~ kgpg was the answer
[21:51] <TornadoXubuntu> thans james147! That was really helpful

[22:24] <rosco_y> how to you set your default browser?
[22:24] <rosco_y> (ubuntu 10.10)
[22:25] <james147> rosco_y: for kubuntu: system settings > default applications | for ubuntu ask in #ubuntu
[22:28] <rosco_y> james147: Thank you.  I am using kde, I just thought this was a more general question than that--but I do see your point!  (Thanks again!)
[22:29] <james147> rosco_y: if your using kde then best to say your using kubuntu rather then ubuntu :)  if its a gereral problem then there is not harm :)
[22:30] <rosco_y> Your solution worked perfectly--I looked in "System Settings" many times for "Default Application", and I guess it was in my blind spot.  It helped when you told me I can find it there :)
[22:31] <rosco_y> Thanks Again!
[23:03] <trudell> hi all
[23:03] <trudell> hi blues
[23:07] <trudell> somebody know what this means? -> #65khacking Cannot join channel (+k) - bad key
[23:07] <pulaski> hello, can someone suggest where to find the md5sum hash for the kubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso image?
[23:08] <trudell> is a password protected channel?
[23:08] <bazhang> trudell, ask in #freenode
[23:09] <trudell> pulaski, have you synaptic installed?
[23:10] <pulaski> trudell, thanks for responding. No. For the time being I usning win to dl kubuntu.
[23:13] <james147> pulaski: heh, they arent on the normal pages... my guesses is that they havent updated the hashes yet :S
[23:15] <trudell> i donwt know about kubuntu over linux, but... can you use repositories?
[23:15] <pulaski> I grabbed kubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso from http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download and that site only provides an md5sum hash for kubuntu-10.1-desktop-amd64.iso.
[23:15] <trudell> synaptic is (to me) the best repository manager
[23:15] <trudell> so you can # sudo apt-get install synaptic
[23:16] <trudell> then you can use synaptic to search packages
[23:16] <james147> pulaski: .2 was only released yesterday, might take a couple days for the hashes to update
[23:16] <trudell> you can type md5sum packages on synaptic
[23:17] <james147> trudell: synaptic wont help pulaski at all for his problem...
[23:18] <trudell> linux comes with md5sumer, but you can install good tools in repositories
[23:18] <trudell> hi jams, why not?
[23:18] <james147> trudell: he is looking for a md5sum hash, not the hasher...
[23:18] <pulaski> james147, thanks for responding. I plan to use the live disk option to check the integrity of the disk. If the integrity successfully checks out I imagine it will be a good dl. Do you agree or have any other comment?
[23:19] <trudell> oh sorry...
[23:19] <trudell> he ask for iso md5sumer of kubuntu release. my bad
[23:19] <james147> pulaski: that should be enough
[23:20] <pulaski> james147, thanks for your help, I'll proceed. cya
[23:21] <trudell> pulaski, do you down from torrent?
[23:29] <trudell> i'm sleeping today, sorry james
[23:30] <trudell> freenode channel have a lot of ... they not give us response
[23:31] <rosco_y> Is there a setting for activities, so that applications are, by default, only visible in the activity in which they are opened?
[23:32]  * james147 thought that was the default... at least thats what they seem to do here
[23:32] <trudell> kubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso MD5SUMER : b446b36430a29f3dcf0c5eb797197cac
[23:33] <trudell> sorry, i'm sleeping: this is the kubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso c19e5139e10df2626055f1d9985856d7, now its true
[23:34] <trudell> where pulaski is?
[23:36] <james147> trudell: he left
[23:37] <trudell> i'm slow like slug today
[23:37] <trudell> i'm very tired
[23:37] <rosco_y> james147: thanks, at least I know it's possible....for some reason my apps are open in "all activities" by default
[23:37] <rosco_y> I've been looking for the cure...at least I know it's out there
[23:38] <james147> rosco_y: what version of kde?
[23:38] <rosco_y> dunno....
[23:38] <rosco_y> how can you tell?
[23:38] <james147> rosco_y: any kde app > help > about kde
[23:38] <rosco_y> :) thanks, I've seen that before :)
[23:38] <rosco_y> v4.5.1
[23:39] <rosco_y> I like it a lot, basically just this little annoyance about the apps opening to all activies
[23:39] <james147> rosco_y: hmm, might be that i am running kde 4.6 (activities where improved in 4.6), you could try upgrading (which i recommend if you want to use activities, see the topic for howto)
[23:40] <rosco_y> james147: !thanks!  I'll take a look into that
[23:40] <trudell> james, are you the michael james, right?
[23:40] <bazhang> !ot | trudell
[23:41] <trudell> sorry, i'm asking because i'm confused today
[23:42] <trudell> i need to know how i can use password in irc channel
