bazhangtrudell, no, I mean what irc client are you using; quassel, xchat, irssi, or some other00:00
trudellnow i'm using konversation, convencional00:01
trudellbut if have better client program i can change00:02
bazhangtrudell, okay, its been a long time since I used Konversation, they have some online documents you can consult I suppose. I use the more modern kde4 version irc client quassel00:02
trudellbazhang: so quassel is better?00:03
trudellbazhang: well, i will change. can i create a channel and be op and control the moderation like hre?00:04
bazhangtrudell, sure, but you dont need to change irc clients to do that. ask in #freenode how to create your own channels00:05
trudellcan you answer to me there?00:09
bazhangtrudell, join the channel first00:10
trudellbazhang: I do not want to bore you. If you are busy i come another day.00:11

RaskHey all.  I'm running into an issue of mindblowing flicker trying to use Kubuntu... googling has led me to the issue with nVidia cards and powermizer, but it's telling me to put some lines in /etc/modprobe.d/options, a file which does not exist in 10.04.05:21
Raskhttp://www.ubuntusolutions.org/2009/02/screen-flickering-with-nvidia-on-ubuntu.html05:21
RaskI tried sticking them into flickerfix.conf per an ubuntu wiki article I found, but the flicker problem still exists and I've no way to tell whether it's because the lines weren't picked up or because they were and didn't help.05:21
RaskAnyone have any ideas?  This is the sixth time in a decade or so that I've said "this is it, I'm going to do it, I'm going to become a linux user" and every single time I've run into a debilitating issue that keeps me on Windows, and I'm really starting to believe I'm cursed. :(05:22
Rask...Anyone?05:44
RaskThis is seriously driving me nuts.  There are other solutions that seem to achieve the same end that involve editing xorg.conf, but... of course, there is no xorg.conf anymore.05:44

DaskreechRask: hi06:00
DaskreechRask: If you just make a xorg.conf it will read from it06:00
RaskYeah, but I can't figure how to make that fix work... it requires inserting a line into a paragraph that's already talking about your video card06:01
Raskthe xorg.conf fix looks more questionable than the modprobe one anyway... can we look back at that one?  Basically I'm trying to add a couple 'option' lines to /etc/modprobe.d/options or its equivalent in 10.04.  I'm led to understand by the manpage that the equivalent thing here is just to create any old .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ so I've done this but it doesn't appear to work.  Is there a way to know whether the files have been read proper06:02
DaskreechRask: What's inside of modprobe.d ?06:13
Raskalsa-base.conf, a bunch of blacklist*.conf files, and my seemingly not-working nvidia.conf06:14

RaskThis just in, I am apparently not using a driver called nvidia.06:42
Rask... Okay, wasn't flooding.  >.>;06:42
RaskAnyway, I installed nvidia-current and tried to modprobe it, and it said "no such device".06:43
RaskWhich is somewhat confusing, because I know (and lspci knows) that I do have an nVidia card.06:43

DaskreechI don't really need to see it now anyway06:49
Rasknouveau is currently doing the job, but I dunno if it takes the same params as nvidia06:49
RaskIf it does, I can try that, but how do I find that out?06:49

RaskI don't have an i915 chipset. o.o06:56
Raskalso, I'm starting to lose faith that this fix I've been pursuing with regard to powermizer is the right one... I do not have compiz running, and they say that that's what causes the problem they're fixing :/07:00

DaskreechBy the way did you ask in #ubuntu ?07:13
RaskMoving too fast to get a word in edgeewise :(07:13
RaskSeriously though... what could cause graphical glitching in GRUB of all things?  It's just text, there's no reason for this.07:15
Daskreechyeah that's kinda strange07:16
DaskreechWhat kinda flicker?07:16
Raskwhole screen glitches for a split second and then recovers07:17
Daskreechso not like a TV flicker or a resolution change?07:17
Daskreechthe fonts bugs out?07:17

RaskNah, it's more a TV flicker07:18

Daskreechsri13: techbase.kde.org07:23
RaskDaskreech: Every single time you move the selection bar up or down.07:24
sri13Daskreech: But techbase , they are giving 4 options like nightly build , master .... , which one i have to choose ?07:26
RaskI'm just utterly baffled.07:26
DaskreechRask: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates07:26
RaskConfused, what am I doing there? o.o07:26
RaskThis is in GRUB, before I even load Ubuntu07:27
Daskreechsri13: if you are doing something up to date you want trunk07:27
DaskreechRask: Right go into ubuntu and run that command07:27
RaskOkay, but what is it going to do? o.o07:28
Daskreechsri13: You can ask in #kde-edu as well07:28
DaskreechRask: it will add a new repository to download updates from07:28
RaskOkay, done07:28
RaskWhat next?07:28
Daskreechsudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings07:29
sri13Daskreech: I want to develop the application Rocs , so which one I want to choose ?07:30
RaskOkay, retrieving, but what is all of this going to do, as a whole?07:30
DaskreechRask: it will install a customised older set of drivers that should work better for your chipset07:33
Daskreechsri13: trunk should be fine07:33
RaskLast time I installed nvidia-common, I tried to modprobe it and it said device not found.  Should I be worried? :B07:34
sri13Daskreech:  Thanks , I wuill follow the instructions there , :)07:35

Raskthe windows startup screen flickers too.07:53
Daskreechyeah it's power cycling I'm guessing07:53
Raskpower cycling?07:53
Daskreechit's a problem with the nvidia drivers just trying to figure out how to shut that off07:54

induzsometimes i lose the editing14:29
slugdid you read the URL i sent you?14:29
induzstack trace??14:29
induzi am reading the website u sent me side by side14:30
induzis 1gb MEM is not good for kbuntu as i was fine with Gnome and ubuntu14:31
induzi installed KDE caz of kdenlive14:31
sluginduz: if you are editing videos, 1GB probably is not enough.14:31
sluginduz: do you have any swap?14:32
james147induz: 1gig is enough for kubuntu... but video editing is very memory intense and you really should get more ram if you want to do that14:32
induzjames147, i can not go more than 2gb i guess in the current system...but I just want to do simple cut2cut14:33
induznot video effects14:33
induzi think when i installed ubuntu after Xp, it created some SWAP14:33
james147induz: what version of kubuntu are you using?14:33
induzjames, how do i find out from Gnome ubuntu about kbuntu?14:34
induzI dont want to log-relog14:34
james147induz: if they are on the same install (ie you installed kubuntu-desktop from ubuntU)14:35
james147then run "lsb_release -a"14:35
induzit says no lsb, but  ubuntu 10.414:36
induzI am running Lucid after upgrading from karmic14:36
induzyes Kbuntu is on same install14:36
* james147 suggests upgrading to maverick (10.10), kde espically kdenlive has improved allot in that verion14:37
induz10.04.2 LTS14:37
BluesKajinduz, it's called kubuntu , not kbuntu14:37

induzBluesKaj, I didnt notice that, I though its k-buntu14:39
induzas like u-buntu14:39
james147induz: then i suggest you grab a live cd of 10.10 and see if it works14:39
induzjames147, as my system is way old, i dont want bloated OS with a lots of applications i dont know about14:40

james147induz: ^^ and why are you worring about bloat if you are dual booting with xp and have both gnome and kde installed?14:41
sluginduz: you don't need DVD, just grab the CD, or you can use a flash drive. look at usb-creator-kde14:41
* james147 suggests NOT use the dvd... it really isnt needed by most people14:42
sluginduz: i mean, grab the CD .iso file, then use usb creator to install it into a flash drive, no need to burn a CD.14:42
sluginduz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick14:43
induzslug, james147 I am not worry about bloated OS, I am worried about my system being OLD14:43
BluesKajhow old , induz ?14:43
james147induz: then thats more of a reason to upgrade kubuntu to 10.10... the newer versions of kde are more stable/faster14:43
induzI dont have a wireless PCI card, i use DEll USB car for wireless and there was no driver for that14:43
sluginduz: do what james147 told you, try with the live from the flash drive to see if works.14:44
james147induz: which is why i suggest getting a livecd/usb and testing to see if it works on that14:44
induzlet me get a USB. do i have to format the USB for it to work as iso media14:44
induzI have never used USB for bootup, but my system has that option at bootup\14:45

admin1peace - I have several users from several different windows PC's  what should I do for valid users line15:13
BluesKajkde 4.6 and some of the new desktop/plasma themes and desktop effects aren't very compatible ..my desktop just froze using ctrl+f11 to rotate the cube15:15
james147admin1: nothing, and add "guest ok = yes"  and  in the [global] section set "security = share"  that will let anyone access your share without a password15:15
james147admin1: alternitive to that you need to add each user to your computer, then register them with samba and add them all to the valid users line15:16
admin1okay,  one last question:  /media/COYOTE_DRIVE/ is this valid where /media is a folder on master and /coyote_drive/ is root of 2tb drive15:17

BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, Hi ...did removing nepomuk break your setup ?15:39
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: no, i am happy that you still remeber that :)15:40
BluesKajI'm glad you didn't use the package manager , to do because most of kubuntu-dektop would have gone with it , phoenix_firebrd15:41
BluesKajto do so15:41
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: ya15:41

phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: i was not able to remove nepomuk, but removed virtuoso, so nepomuk doesnt start now15:42
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: as you said when i tried to uninstall nepomuk, it was pulling the whole installation15:43
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: how can i integrate kfind to dolphin?15:45
BluesKajdid you try to start it system settings / startup&shutdown/service manager / startup services?15:45
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: i didnt try that, should i try that now?15:46
BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, whynot just add dolphin to your panel15:47
BluesKajwell phoenix_firebrd , if it's listed you can start nepomuk15:47
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: no what i ment was then when i press ctrl+f, k find should open i the current directory15:48
BluesKajdunno, I'm not much on KB shortcuts , I just put apps that use frequently into the panel for quick access15:50
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: are you using kde 4.6?15:51

admin1emonkey - have time for some advice?17:00
admin1file share question:  windows returns server/guest as username when trying to connect to share, what do I need to change in my smb.conf17:01
james147admin1: security = share  in the [general] section17:02
admin1its there17:02
admin1does guest = no need to be removed?  also have valid user = john  sally17:03
james147admin1: for valid users to work you need an account on the server with that name and assuciate that user with samba (with smppasswd)17:04
james147smbpasswd ^^17:04
admin1can I issue the smbpasswd command using each username that I want to be able to attach to share?17:04
james147^^ as well you need to create a unix account first17:05
rtdoshow can i find out which desktops i have installed and how to launch them? i have a friend who uses text based login and thinks he installed several different desktops but he is not sure which ones or how to launch them.17:05

BluesKajrtdos, best to try the recovery kernel, then 'fix broken packages' in the dialog17:35
admin1no, root of share drive...thanks  james17:37
james147admin1: if you mean form the cliend(ie windows) then make sure you dont add their user to the valid users... if you mean on the server, then mount it in a location and with permission so they cannot access it17:39
admin1that's what i am trying to do.  they can see the subdirectories I want them to see as I have loaded them as shares in smb.conf, now I am trying to lock the root of the share so they cannot browse to it and find17:41

james147admin1: try setting "security = user" again17:42

admin1Can I designate static ip vice dhcp in the ifconfig file?17:51
rtdosblueskaj: even modeprob doesn't see it17:53
BluesKajrtdos, diyou try the recovery kernel ?17:56
james147admin1: you can configure a static ip by either reserving an ip from your router (so that it always give you the same ip via dhcp) or on the computer by: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/31917:58
oalI am trying to install kubuntu 10.10 but I get this error http://dpaste.com/436855/17:58

oalAny suggestions_18:01
oalOh, wrong keyboard layout as well. Nothing works today18:01
oalThat was a question mark18:01
BluesKajadmin1, a hint , it's best to let /etc/network/interfaces handle your networking directly if you want a staic IP ..if you do so networkmanager can be removed18:02
BluesKajerr static IP18:02
admin1thanks BluesKaj18:03
BluesKajadmin1, james147 I think this tutorial is somewhat clearer http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html18:04

rtdosblueskaj: how? i booted into repair mode from the boot menu. does the cd have something i can use to repair?18:06
BluesKajrtdos, did you choose the "fix brokenpackages" option in the recovery kernel ? from the grub menu18:08
BluesKajnot the cd18:08
stephenmac7Hello, does wireles work in the live cd ?18:13
rtdosyes, blueskaj18:13
