[00:49] yeah i manage webservers but thinking of using ubuntu as my desktop [00:50] but need some basics ironing out before i do [00:50] there is also a #kde channel for KDE-specific questions [00:52] I installed Kubuntu beside Kanotix as an exercise... it was not very much an exercise since it was so easy... It was a piece of cake so to say... [00:52] Kubuntu is quite pleasant.... [00:53] which version do you have?

[01:06] I am too unexperient for answering this... [01:07] no problem [01:07] :) [01:08] tta: via Kpackagekit? [01:09] that should do it as well [01:09] kpackagekit is kubuntus aptitude i believe === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [01:10] New install is always better, i believe.... [01:10] I use apt-get..... [01:11] yeah its good to have the repository [01:11] windows should have one lol [01:12] I am used to apt-get, better with synaptic...

[01:14] wat nu: to have a new version is difficult i am in africa and here the internet is very slow [01:14] oh the ubuntu-wiki - i havent used it [01:14] you have to create an account [01:15] and then just go for it [01:15] copy someone's page that you like, and use your info instead of theirs [01:17] thanks again - bye! [01:20] tta: I am sorry. In that case I cannot help you.... On the whole I am also very unexperient ..... I am so sorry.. :( [01:20] Hi all [01:20] what up? [01:21] Hi Golfgeo ! [01:21] Got a question... Looking to download the new kubuntu cd and while version 4.6 was anounced, it's not selectable on the download page... Am I wrong or just missing something? [01:22] 4.6 referrs to KDE as far as I know... [01:23] I finally got it edited :) I have a personal page, but it was way out of date :) [01:23] hmm... wikipedia mentions version 11.04 and I can only download version 10.10 [01:23] Ic Wat_Nu [01:23] 11.04 is in alpha still [01:23] ah :D [01:23] http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download [01:24] prominent focus on the release though... [01:24] but, oke, no new live cd for me for now haha [01:24] Thanks mates :-) [01:25] Golfgeo: ;) [01:25] feel free [01:34] my kubuntu 10.10 install is stuck at 66%, "running grug on /dev/sda", top shows 100% cpu of ubiquity for 15 minutes already [01:34] wt.F [01:34] grub* [01:34] what do I do? [01:34] and why the hell would it use 100% cpu for that long [01:35] does that mean my boot record is toast as well as the kubuntu install [01:35] hdd is on 100% all the time too... for 15 minutes [01:36] anyone of the 244 people here alive? [01:37] yep, but not had that problem, since I am addicted to lilo :-D [01:37] gtg too [01:38] how is that related to the kubuntu installer [01:38] Thanks mates and have fun! :-) [01:38] which never uses lilo anyway... [01:38] damn this installer.. just toasted my box [01:43] xorred: I am alive but I cannot help you. My Kubuntu 10.10 install went as easy as anything. Was your download okay, was the md5 sum okay? [01:44] it was stuck at writing grub [01:44] I doubt md5 would be th eissue [01:44] cd defect? [01:44] nope [01:44] well, it got to 66% [01:44] writing grub is like the final step [01:46] xorred: Sorry, I am not an expert, more likely a beginner... :( [01:49] It is nearly 2:50 am in Germany. It is time for me to repair to bed... gn8 everybody..... [01:50] All the best to everyone! ;) [01:50] it extracted my iso file how can i compress it back into iso [01:59] hi :) does anyone know how to type in a symbol? why doesn't crtl+alt+e and things like that work? [02:01] system>preference>keyboard shortcut ;) [02:02] tta: can that help my type symbols from the keyboard? in windows crtl+alt+e gives you an e with accute accent [02:04] guys, I'm at wits end [02:04] I need help [02:04] th reference that i gave you is to change the kubuntu short into your suitable own [02:04] I updated kubuntu using the ppa repos [02:04] on my girlfriend's machine [02:04] i am talking to jcgs [02:05] and [02:05] and now kdenetwork manager won't list any wireless networks in the plasma widget [02:05] or bother to connect [02:05] The same update on my laptop didn't result in any such problem [02:05] she's using ath5k drivers from what I can gather [02:05] sorry rufsketch1, this isn't msn, can you type everything as one line pls [02:06] jcgs: ah, sorry. [02:06] rufsketch1: thanks :) it gets confusing otherwise, and things disappear off the screen too quickly [02:07] he he he [02:07] you are rigth you know [02:08] So can anyone help? [02:08] tta: I've found "keyboard settings" but there doesn't seem to be much enlightening in there except "Shift with numeric keypad works as in ms windows" but i don't have a numeric keypad because i'm on a laptop :( [02:10] rufsketch1: this may not be what you want to hear, but the way i solved my general wireless malaise was to do a clean install [02:10] jcgs: that is very much not what I want to hear. [02:10] which laptop [02:10] the mark [02:11] rufsktech1: can you just remove the ppas and downgrade? presumably you've already tried that [02:11] hi, anyone knows how to restrat panel on kubuntu 10-10? [02:12] tta: toshiba satellite l300, but i'm not sure that's relevant, is it? [02:12] jcgs: sort of tried it [02:12] no but i am cofuse what is your os [02:12] aleiex: could you elaborate a little bit, what do you mean by "restart panel"? [02:12] I tried to manually remove the ppas but it didn't seem to care [02:12] tta: kubuntu 10.10 [02:13] is there a command to remove the ppas? [02:14] rufsketch1: have you looked for them in the software sources are of the add/remove software in system settings? [02:14] jcgs: yes, that's the thing that didn't work. Which is why I was wondering if there was a command [02:16] rufsketch1: try poking around in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* you'll have to remove them in a text editor [02:17] rufsketch1: you could do: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list [02:17] some command in windows will not in kubuntu so if you are not able to change your command with your keyboard try the visual keyboardof kubuntu [02:18] tta: that's really slow though, I'm sure there must be a way to do this, someone must have thought of it, surely [02:23] tta: I think I've got it, setting "compose key position" to "right alt" has worked a charm :) [02:26] tta: actually, I've decided that "menu" is a better choice, since typing euro works as normal :) [02:26] jcgs:excuse me for that interruption i have some problem with my gsm modem [02:26] tta: no worries :) [02:27] sorry chaps, I've got to get up early in the morning (well early for lazy students, anyway) see you soon :) === ^V^ is now known as _V_ [02:28] hello any 1 here === Lynx is now known as Guest57426 [02:29] yep [02:29] how can i update kbuntu 10.4LTS to 10.10 [02:30] !upgrade [02:30] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [02:30] can anyone provide some solution that doesn't involve downgrading? [02:30] its kbuntu not ubuntu [02:31] install the oldest version of your choice;) [02:31] rufsketch1: for that we would need to know where it fails - networkmanager puts its logs in /var/log/syslog, you can check there after an unsuccessful connection attempt if there is any error - or at least what it tries to do [02:32] yofel: checking [02:32] just a sec [02:32] Guest57426: the commands are the same, kubuntu and ubuntu [02:33] lynx:http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/upgrade [02:33] you might want to use kpackagekit rather than their suggestions, but still [02:33] if you are using a laptop [02:34] valorie:you and kpackagekit [02:34] ok, muon then [02:34] yofel: it might have to do with kdeinit4 segfaulting. [02:34] or aptitude [02:34] or apt-get [02:34] yofel: should I pastebin my log? [02:34] I use them all [02:35] ok ok ok ok [02:35] lol [02:35] rufsketch1: would be nice, but if kdeinit4 segfaults it's not surprising that knm doesn't work [02:35] I'm not religious about stuff -- I use what works, what I can remember at the time, etc. etc. [02:37] how do i edit it to normal [02:39] Guest57426: edit what to "normal"? [02:40] this [02:40] ok [02:40] edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal [02:40] that [02:41] kdesudo kate /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [02:41] look for Prompt= [02:41] i found it [02:41] and put in normal right there [02:42] valorie: how do you do to know that all? [02:42] all done [02:42] well, I know that if you want to run a gui app in root, you have to use kdesudo [02:43] and kate is my favorite editor [02:43] so I've used it for stuff like this before [02:43] so I just generalized to what Guest57426 needed to do [02:43] i used gedit before [02:43] ugh [02:43] yes, so have I [02:43] lol [02:44] do u like gedit [02:44] even in kubuntu 9.10 [02:44] oh yh i have another problem [02:45] no, I try to use kate for everythign [02:45] lol [02:45] like every so oftern all my lights start flashin and the battery stops charging on my laptop [02:45] yowch [02:45] it only did it on here and ubuntu [02:46] that sounds like a problem for sure [02:46] i just unplugged my v=charger then plugged it bk in and it stopped lol === Guest57426 is now known as Jason [02:47] wtf [02:47] i cant choose a nick name === Jason is now known as Lynx [02:47] what is the power delivered by your charger === Lynx is now known as Guest18492 [02:48] hmm i m not sure === Guest18492 is now known as Jason [02:48] Jason: try jasonwtflynx, youll have abetter chance of getting it....
