[00:49] nvm [00:54] i dont know, sorry [00:56] i started the installation of ubuntu 10.10 in my laptop but after de decompression the system launched my previous os; please what is the meaning of that? === tchangang is now known as tta [01:43] How do i install java? I don't see the sun-java6-jre packages anymore. [01:44] if your java is design for windows you must use wine [01:45] not using windows [01:45] need java for non-windows apps [01:47] i said if your java was "designed" for wind... [01:48] Okay, well it's not. [01:48] Can we move on? [01:49] I have the .bin, but there is no installation instructions in the README [01:49] i extracted it [01:49] but i dont know what to do after that [01:51] did you see something with .exe (extension) [01:55] dude i'm in kubuntu. Why would i see .exe? [01:55] I'm not running windows apps. Linux java apps [01:56] it's and the name of installation extension files (it's universal) [02:06] tta: it's not universal [02:06] tta: he's gone now but the advice he was looking for was to chmod +x the .bin file [02:07] and then ./filename.bin [02:10] ok sorry for the wrong info [02:20] having issues removing a program: openoffice.org--coooder (a syntax hilighter for openoffice) - when i try to reinstall it or remove it, i keep getting told that openoffice is running in the background. how can i remove and purge 'openoffice.org-coooder' ? [02:24] rtdos: may be you can try to find it out whether 'soffice.bin' process and kill it in system monitor [02:27] does anyone else have problems with X progressively taking up loads of RAM (1.8GB on my system after 7 days uptime) and if so, what could be the problem (video-related?)? [02:27] rtdos: you might have bettter luck switching to LibreOffice. OpenOffice won't get anymore updates [02:28] sizz: X process itself ? could be an extension, or a separate process. try to dig a little more [02:30] somekool: how should I dig? [02:32] what version of KDE are you running É [02:32] ? [02:34] 4.6 [02:35] (just a quick & easy idea) restart your computer, open up ksysguard or top in a konsole. make sure X is not taking much memory at startup. keep an eye on it as you normally use your computer and try to see when it starts taking more ressource [02:38] sizz: you should state that whick software you got open along this 7 days. xorg will keep eating RAM in some uploading software [03:06] thanks, nata it worked. [03:06] rtdos: :) [03:07] btw, how do i get into grub (or safe mode) so that i can do any necessary repairs?) when i am / was using startup manager to edit grub for me but when i select safe mode it just continues to boot. [03:11] in kubuntu safe mode is all console text line. Grub is just a list to loading to os. if you don't known how to use console text better create one more user to do repair or upgrade new distribution system [03:52] nata, i can't even get grub to work properly. when i get into repair mode it bypases the repair mode and boots normally though i do see the repair menu. [03:53] hello [03:53] someone active? [03:54] feel free [03:54] i need to know whether the kde4libs kubuntu patch is still necessary kubuntu_06_user_disk_mounting.diff ? [03:55] rtdos: completely delete the grub and reinstll back at synaptic may solve your problem. but take your own risk if your computer got 2 os. but it can self detect la. [03:55] i can find it in kde4libs natty branch - does that mean he is still necessary? [03:57] i cant find kde4libs in synaptic [03:58] it is only a source package [03:59] my one is maverik version. i think din install this package [03:59] by default [03:59] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kde4libs&searchon=sourcenames&suite=all§ion=all [03:59] may be somebody will help you :) keep asking and waitting [04:01] that patch "fixed" or better work around a problem that is reportet in debian bts too (see here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609171 ) [04:01] and that bug is marked as fixed upstream [04:01] nata: what do you mean delete the grub? my machine only has one OS installed. [04:02] but i cant find any info where and how that fix looks like [04:02] rtdos: you know synaptic? or kpackagekit? [04:03] rtdos: find it at there using search "grub". see which version you install and then completely remove them and reinstall back before you restart !!!!! [04:04] TheOne: i dont have idea to software lib [04:04] i cannot play videos on you tube with my mozilla in Kubuntu 9.10,why? [04:04] tta: install flash player [04:05] tta: or just install kubuntu restric extra [04:05] nata: another (easier) question, does the (k)ubuntu installer write partition entries to your /etc/fstab? [04:07] if your /etc/fstab contains entries for your extra partitions can you unmount them via dolphin? [04:07] tta: got [04:08] tta: sorry wrong info [04:08] TheOne: got [04:08] ok. i will try that, thanks Nata. [04:08] rtdos: :) [04:08] so nata i should do a 'sudo apt-get remove --purge grub' followed by a reinstall ? [04:09] TheOne: cannot. must using 'storage device manager'. download at synaptic [04:09] rtdos: mayb. console text i dont knw. sorry :) [04:10] dolphin shows at the bottom a little error message - what it is if you try to unmount? [04:10] something like the partition was not mounted via hal ? [04:11] TheOne: cause you dont have right to unmount them [04:11] lol thx [04:11] TheOne: storage device manager is for you set default wan mount or ummount [04:11] nice patch - now i really understand why debian does not use it [04:12] hehe [04:12] yeah i know how to mount and umount [04:12] the real problem is that dolphin, policykit or something in hal is not compatible [04:13] may b you are right.. [04:13] thats why dolphin complains about missing permissions [04:13] if you use kdesu dolphin it works, you can mount and unmount partitions [04:14] but it is not recommend to use dolphin that way [04:15] this "pretty" patch catches the hal error message and call a privilleged dbus-send command [04:16] so you can mount and umount them [04:16] hehe. you are programmer? [04:16] no kde dev nor c++/qt - i can read the code but my qt programming skills are ... cheap ;) [04:17] i am involved in kanotix [04:17] and we have the problem that debian has - we cant mount via dolphin [04:18] the kubuntu patch works in live mode because there are no /etc/fstab entries for the partitions [04:18] the installer creates these entries [04:18] you known well [04:19] and here your kubuntu patch is not working anymore [04:19] cause hal does not unmount partitions that are not mounted via hal [04:19] you tested it ;) [04:20] thats the reason why i want to know where and how it is fixed upstream [04:21] i guess they know the real root of this problem [04:21] and maybe i can backport that fix for kde4libs 4.4 [04:21] aka debian stable [04:22] but no one provides any upstream information belonging to that dolphin mount bug [04:22] i searched kdes bts but nothing helpfull === Marduk is now known as Guest28844 [04:42] Buenas !

[05:07] cardplayer: This is the live CD? [05:07] its the desktop version i downloaded from the main site [05:08] thanks. [05:08] cardplayer: Correct I wanted to know if it was the Cd or you already installed it? [05:08] the cd is crashing cant begin install [05:08] or maybe I should say "gracias";) [05:09] you burned it at which speed [05:09] i suppose max [05:09] cardplayer: Umm ok lets try and work something out. Is it crashing or you reach to the GUI and it breaks? [05:09] i reach the gui [05:10] but if i try to execute anything from it [05:10] oh [05:10] it tosses me into a command line [05:10] i select language ok [05:10] so you reach the GUI and get a desktop and everyting is fine [05:10] till you click on something? [05:10] i get a GUI install screen asks me to run from cd or install...check disk for errors etc [05:11] ah ok [05:11] what do you click? [05:11] i have tried to click check for errors and install [05:11] both tosses me into the command line [05:11] reburn it at 8x at most [05:12] agreed darkschreech i burned to fast? [05:14] maybe i am in the wrong channel.... idk what kubuntu is i guess i have the regular version [05:14] just ubuntu [05:14] * TheOne says usb boot is much faster and less error prone ;) [05:16] cardplayer: Does sound like it if it you kicks you out there [05:16] iok [05:17] ok [05:17] cardplayer: Do you have a USB drive? [05:17] no [05:17] it's not a religion but and application. when you burn fastly since some files are compressed the lens while skip some important or heavy files : result during the installation "errors" [05:17] whats the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu? [05:18] cardplayer: KDE [05:18] All the difference in the world :) [05:18] KDE? [05:18] sorry absolute linux noob [05:18] !kde [05:18] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [05:18] cardplayer: The GUI interface. Just how you interact with the computer [05:18] whats the advantage of a kde enviroment [05:18] always check the md5 hash before burning.. also, choose a slower burn speed [like 16x] [05:18] Tools are the same mostly but it's just a different way of thinking [05:19] better/// worse for noob? [05:19] cardplayer: Couldn't tell you for the life of me [05:19] no 8x [05:19] more///worse stabel? [05:19] stable [05:19] Part of the good part of choice is that if it's the right choice for you then it's better [05:19] why ask these questions? [05:19] just frickin install and be done with it [05:19] decide for your self [05:19] I'd just say it's different from what GNOME is [05:20] slowly but surely [05:20] ;) [05:20] technically same learning curve across the board when compared to any other desktop environment [05:20] cardplayer: I suppose you could argue that GNOME has higher stability but they are both very solid at this point [05:20] thanks for your guys input [05:20] ill try to reburn it slower [05:20] see if it helps [05:21] thanks again [05:21] cardplayer: GNOME's philosphy is to have less options so you don't get confused [05:22] once you get past the gui style .. apps like dolphin and gwenview are top notch in usability [05:22] ha I would have thought of it the other way [05:23] once you get past the Style in Nautilus you'll find that it actually can be used [05:23] all said and done , i DO prefer kde to gnome ..

[05:26] cosmetic looks shouldnt be your priority when choosing a platform, operating system or desktop environment..

I've noticed xev registers a button press when i turn my mic on. There is an answer/call or on/off button on the m [15:08] I had a similar problem before with a RAT 7 Gaming mouse [15:08] we fixed it by adding it to xorg.conf [15:08] but not sure how to add this device to xorg [15:08] it had too many buttons and it would lock up KDE similarly [15:10] I'm thinking when i press the button it turns the mic on, but keeps it pressed and kde doesn't know to move on [15:10] Because once I press it again to turn it off, kde resumes [15:10] nikitis, have you located a driver for the mic first of all , otherwise it might not work anyway , even if you recsolve your kde freeze prob [15:11] the sound system recognizes it [15:11] and uses it's correct name [15:12] ok then it could be a kde problem which is more difficult, nikitis [15:12] kde 4.6, nikitis ?

But the VM Crashes the whole system when the mic is loaded onto it. [15:17] a vm just for the mic? [15:17] no, i have avaya softphone [15:17] i use for work [15:17] I have 6 GB's of RAM [15:18] So what I do is, load 2 VM's [15:18] did i miss an answer ... connection broke [15:18] connect to work using VPN on both VM's [15:18] one VM is Kubuntu [15:18] one is xp for the softphone [15:18] i do my work on the kubuntu one [15:18] Leaving the regular machine untouched from the VPN [15:19] so I can browse internet safely without being monitored [15:19] nikitis, well if you want to upgrade , then do the commands I posted above ...I have little knowledger of Virtual Machines and I don't fool around with them , if needde I just dual boot [15:19] I do that as well :) But you can't use 3 machines at the same time with dualboot [15:20] which is required [15:20] I have the same setup in my windows environment [15:20] boot win7, load both VM's [15:21] and it works great [15:21] but the problem is in KDE doesn't like the mic, and it's the host machine. So if it doesn't work correctly there, it can't pass that information onto the VM. [15:21] So my goal is to get it to work in KDE first [15:22] then problem solved [15:22] i tried that install of but there was nothing to upgrade itsaid [15:22] i added the repositories, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:22] right, but the vm crashes with mic , right ? [15:23] Vm crashes when it tries to load the mic hardware. Not the driver part, but at the hardware abstraction layer [15:23] detecting the mic [15:24] strange , windows not seing a usb device , did you install the drivers in the vm ? [15:24] All OS's have the initial detection of hardware, it may not know what it does or how to use it, but keeps it in mind, and waits for a driver to claim it. [15:24] the VM already has the driver for it [15:25] the problem is, KDE doesn't have the hardware correctly [15:25] so it sends a jacked up hardware ID and freezes up the whole system when windows tries to take control [15:26] using the same vm in a windows host, the windows guest detects the hardware fine [15:26] kde isn't passing the hardware to the vm correctl y [15:26] well, I'd like to stick around . but we need to do our taxes at the local tax agency , so I have to go for a few hrs..BBL [15:26] because it can't handle itself [15:26] okay [15:26] Thanks for help [15:34] Hi !
