[00:11] there is a way to restore kubuntu back to its default settings and restoring the desktops without reintslling the system, but i cant remember what words to use to look up the instructions. Can anyone help? [00:14] N!H! [00:16] cato37: the KDE settings are stored in ~/.kde - so removing that folder will reset most of the desktop to the defaults - resetting the whole desktop would be removing your home folder and using /etc/skel as base for a new one [00:18] cato37: unless you mean reset the system and keep the desktop intact - I don't know how to do that without reinstalling [00:18] yofel: thanx. there was an instruction guide on one of the linux forms that used the shell to do it in two simple commands, but i can't find it amidst all of the "kubuntu to ubuntu" instructions. === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [00:19] cato37: you mean removing gnome? [00:19] yofel: yes, it reset the system, and cleared the user accounts, which is okay. [00:19] no, it restored the kde (kubuntu) back to how it was when it was first installed (and all the updates added), with some simple commands. [00:21] cato37: you mean the set of installed applications too or just the desktop settings? [00:25] yofel: everything, not just the desktop settings. [00:25] yofel: i wish i could be of more help. [00:26] not sure how to do that, sry [00:27] yofel: its okay. i should have written the link down. i have installed and unistalled so much stuff, that in order to remove some things, i have to remove the kde desktop to get rid of some of it. [00:28] cato37: you want to kill user settings back to default ? [00:29] somekool: yes. including user accounts [00:29] without reinstalling [00:29] without reinstalling [00:29] you want to kill something else than user accounts ? [00:30] a [00:31] somekool: the link gave instructions to reset the system, and everything as though it were installed for the first time (it even got rid of the extra user accounts) without reinstalling kubuntu. it was pretty simple. [00:32] do you want to kill something else than user accounts ? [00:32] somekool: yes. all i would like to go back to the default software. [00:33] somekool: but i wouldnt mind killing the user accounts including the main account as well. [00:35] whatever i did in the 1000 account, i can no longer for example use quassel-- i have to make a second account to use it. === krookeye is now known as squinteye [00:35] try this [00:35] PATTERN=":[1-9][0-9]\{3\}:"; grep -v $PATTERN /etc/passwd > /tmp/keep_these_lines; grep $PATTERN /etc/passwd | while read LINE; do nuser=`echo $LINE | sed 's/:.*//'`; echo rm -fr /home/$nuser; done ; echo mv /tmp/keep_these_lines /etc/passwd [00:36] k. [00:37] somekool: what did i just do? [00:37] kill all user accounts [00:37] well, my line just echo commands [00:38] you need to remove the two 'echo' word and you will lose all your home directories with all files and documents [00:39] you might want to replace the 'rm -fr xxx' by 'mv xxx somewhere' === carlos is now known as Guest58605 [00:40] somekool: ok. that helps. thanx. is there a way to restore the system back to the default programs? [00:51] i found a similar link. thanks all. have a good day. [00:54] can i save the updates i did & reinstall it later without downloading? [00:56] here is the link, btw. http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3109861.0 [00:56] thanx again. [00:56] shady_: well, you can save the files in /var/cache/apt/archives and copy them back later again [00:56] you'll need a network connection though for the apt-cache [00:57] but there will be no downloding cuz my connection here is bad<< [00:58] if there are no new updates apt will re-use the files in /var/cache/apt/archives [00:58] ty bro [00:59] one more thing>> === guillermo is now known as Guest71104 [01:00] when i plug my headphones, i can't hear any sound, any ideas? [01:01] hello all [01:02] how do I trigger a full reinstall of initramfs-tools package (any package really) using apt package system? [01:03] heinkel_111: sudo apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools [01:03] unless you want to wipe all configuration files [01:03] that would be sudo dpkg apt-get purge initramfs-tools && sudo apt-get install initramfs-tools [01:04] the problem is my /boot partition was full so I got an error message during first installation [01:04] I deleted some older kernel versions (again, using the apt system) [01:05] I did not realize how many I had, must be dating back to version 2008.something of kubuntu [01:06] then I want to install newest initramfs again to avoid incompatibilty issues (if any) with the rest of kernel-related stuff [01:06] sounds like a good strategy? [01:06] ah wait, you just want to regenerate the initrd? [01:06] sec [01:07] heinkel_111: that should go with sudo update-initramfs -u -k all [01:07] yofel, to be honest, not sure what the initrd and initramfs really does [01:07] for me, these things just work 99,99 % of the time [01:07] first time in several years as a kubuntu user I encountered any problem at all with it [01:08] i think the install that faulted stopped at some dpkg -- configure step or something? [01:08] heinkel_111: it contains a set files used by the kernel before the root directory is mounted [01:08] I am not sure then, if I have a partial install of something on disk right now [01:09] heinkel_111: you might want to run sudo dpkg --configure -a too then, just to be sure dpkg is ok [01:09] partial installs usually create trouble [01:09] that is why I thought a full reinstall would do it? [01:09] unable to install kubuntu 9.10 or higher on virtualbox 4.04r, can someone help me...? [01:09] I mean full reinstall as 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools' [01:10] well, reinstalling initramfs-tools won't fix the initrds I think, just run the command I told you, if it finishes fine it should be ok === Guest690000 is now known as ubuntux [01:10] ok, thanks yofel [01:10] or reinstall the kernel - that will trigger a initrd update [01:11] snypzz: where does it fail?

[04:42] some people don't known which type of their computer is [04:43] I see, yes that makes sense thanks for responding nata. [04:43] pulaski: 32 bit will always work [04:44] may be the developer stil got another reason [04:44] If you already know you are getting 64 bit then you have enough info to make an informed choice [04:49] Daskreech, this is interesting because I, certainly no expert, recently purchased an amd64 box. I was working on the assumption that an application or OS for that matter had to be written for one or the other. [04:49] :-) [04:50] pulaski: it;s a matter of how high you can count, If you can reach to 64 then you can obviously count to 32 [04:51] counting to 32 is no assurance that you can get to 64 [04:51] future will be in 64 :) [04:53] my old computer also is 64 :) sempron 2800+ vy old enough [04:54] Daskreech: lol, the reason I'm even thinking about this now is that I've been having trouble installing first kubuntu 10.04.2 and now I'm going back to 10.10. If I ever get my system stable again, I'll do future distro upgrades using apt-get. [04:56] I've done that once before and it was sort of painless. I just have to remember its not always a good idea to be first out of the box as it were. [04:56] Thanks nata and Daskreech for chatting tonight. Be seeing you.

[10:03] crypto про [10:05] one more question if I stopped 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [10:05] how do I resume? [10:20] AYJHBear: run it again, then if it gives you error messages, do that: [10:20] sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:21] I get the following output for running it again [10:21] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [10:21] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [10:21] AYJHBear: check if you have no other shell or app running it [10:21] if not, do the following: [10:22] dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [10:22] I am sure a shell is running it. [10:22] however I cannot find the shell anymore I want to open it [10:23] by the way how do I just chat with you? [10:23] AYJHBear: well, it must be on your desktop if you have an open shell [10:23] AYJHBear: this here is a support channel, it's not for chatting [10:24] yeah that's why I don't want to bug everyone [10:24] you can use #kubuntu-offtopic for that, but keep in mind it should be Kubuntu related and the Code of Conduct applies [10:24] ok [10:24] just a moment, I have to look up my notes [10:24] ok thank you. [10:25] I think I closed the other shell? at least the GUI without closing the update? [10:25] it was an accident [10:25] well, if you closed it it is not running anymore [10:25] appearantly it is? [10:26] I don't know what is happening [10:26] unless you used the non-GUI Linux shells [10:26] that is the command to unlock: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock [10:26] h but it is going to kill the process [10:27] is it possible to go back to the previous process? or should I just let it kill it? [10:27] there is not much of a choice [10:27] since it is a dist-upgrade I don't want it to screw up [10:27] alright [10:27] let it kill it, else you can't get control back [10:28] got it back [10:28] you can't screw a dist-upgrade, kust don't reboot or logout of KDE before it is done [10:28] ok [10:28] works now [10:28] just* [10:28] it actually resumed after killing it [10:28] nice :) [10:28] thank you so much [10:29] AYJHBear: you are welcome :) [10:29] I need to go look up the guide in using this IRC [10:29] don't wannt to get kicked out [10:29] :D [10:29] see you === Thorsten_ is now known as TE_ [10:45] многоуважаемые члены сообщества кто что может сказать про crypto pro [10:45] !ru | superwizard [10:45] superwizard: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:47] crypto pro in kubuntu [11:27] !paste [11:27] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. === jim_ is now known as Jim-65802 [11:33] hello chan [11:34] who is active?

[11:39] ^^ I am doing other things while watching, give me some time [11:39] k [11:40] Jim-65802: firstly, check "alsamixer" (run it in a terminal) and make sure the capture channels arnt muted [11:40] k [11:40] and if you have pulse audio then its different story? [11:41] the program called 'pavucontrol' can do miracless .. ( i changed mic to rear with that as kde mix cannot do it) [11:49] have alsamix in term window [11:49] mm mic vol is dark [11:50] master center line is maxed [11:51] susundberg : pavucontrol run over top of alsamix? [11:53] no, pavu is for pulse audio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio [11:54] no sorry, i am wrong -- pulse really runs on top of alsa [11:54] "In a typical installation scenario under Linux, the user configures ALSA to use a virtual device provided by PulseAudio. Thus, applications using ALSA will output sound to PulseAudio, which then uses ALSA itself to access the real sound card." [11:55] Well this isn't that clear -- does the alsa mixer really configure the physical or is it connected to pulse audio server .. [11:55] it would be nice if someone with more knowledge would tell which it is .. [11:56] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio [11:57] this suggests that alsamixer connects directly to kernel layer -- "If you experience no audio output via any means while using ALSA as your default device, you may have to unmute your sound card. To do this, you will want to launch alsamixer and make sure each column has a green 00 under it" [11:58] hello, I have two drives on my amd64 box. I had installed win 7 on the first drive /dev/sda but I used fdisk to delete the partitions then I wrote the deletion to the drive. I installed kubuntu 10.10 on that drive. During the installation Kubuntu correctly recognized there were on othe OSs on the box and went ahead with the installation. After install and reboot the grub menu came up but when [11:58] I selected the default option to boot ubuntu the system hung and required manual reboot. Quest #1: Will Kubuntu install grub with no other OSs on a box? Quest #2: Did deleteing the partitions with fdisk on /dev/sda also delete the prior Master Boot Record? [11:59] MBR is not installed on partitions [12:00] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record) [12:00] pulaski: and kubuntu should install grub unless you tell it not to [12:00] (regardless of other OSs as fara s i know) [12:01] And the installer should see other OS (like Win7) and add grub entry for it .. [12:01] But deleting partitions might have deleted windows 7 loader, that is usually small partition containing something [12:02] You might want to check this out: http://superuser.com/questions/122658/install-ubuntu-to-partition-with-windows-7-loader-erase-partition-with-win-load [12:03] btw: if you deleted the win7 partitions how did the ubuntu installer recognize those? [12:04] (it should not) [12:04] * james147 notes that the mbr is fine if your got to grub... the problem was booting the os [12:04] how shud i ctrl alsamixer? hp box, alsa 1.0.22 [12:04] true also!

[16:05] digirak: actually, any F key from 1 to 6 will work. [16:05] DarthFrog: will that suspend my current session? [16:05] genii-around: it says Package kubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed [16:06] digirak: Good. Just continue on with the other commands in the order given then [16:06] digirak: Suspend? No. It will simply switch you to a virtual terminal. Press ALT-F7 to switch back. [16:07] genii-around: but i still cant unlock my login screen options which tells me the login is still in kdm [16:08] this is a good guide to return back to gnome as well: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [16:08] !puregnome [16:08] If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [16:08] !purekde [16:08] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [16:09] you guys are just copycats.. am the true psychocat! o.0 [16:09] :-P [16:10] that purekde tutorial din't work for maverick , the factoid is outdated [16:10] well.. something's gotta give [16:10] -_- [16:11] kyubutsu, the psycocats pure kde commands dfon [16:11] digirak: After you remove kdm with the: sudo apt-get remove --purge kdm and then replace it with the: sudo apt-get install gdm you of course will not see a difference until you have restarted X [16:12] don't work either [16:13] the psychocats pure kde commands don't work , I mean [16:13] hm.. worked for me everytime [16:14] havent had use for it in quite sometime tho [16:15] it used to be pretty good anyhow.. [16:15] it'll be missed [16:15] how about the ones from the factoid ? is that any different? [16:16] I had gnome and kde installed for a while and gnome was getting on my nerves as usual so I tried to purify to kde , wasn't possible so I just clean installed kubun [16:17] BluesKaj: I keep all four different desktop environments, KDE, GNOME, LXDE, and XFCE :) [16:18] the factoid links tro a old page, kyubutsu [16:18] genii-around: How do you like LXDE? [16:18] alrighty then.. no more "purifying" [16:18] BluesKaj: How did GNOME interfere with KDE? [16:19] genii-around, you're a brave soul or a bugger for punishment maybe :) [16:19] DarthFrog: I found it fast and simple, better for me than XFCE. But i still like KDE the best [16:20] genii-around: That echos my opinion on XfCE. [16:20] yah, i think of xfce as an uglier version of gnome [16:21] i rather go with fluxbox if thats the case [16:21] too many apps that I never use DarthFrog amongst other things ...never cared for it's look for another , no matter which theme or icons .. [16:25] DarthFrog, it's just a matter of taste , mostly...I mean if there was no kde then I'd probly use gnome ,but highly modified :) [16:26] isnt that the general case of most of us here [16:26] * kyubutsu chuckles [16:27] now if chromium would just integrate it's tab and menu fonts with kde settings then all would be well in my linux world :) [16:37] BluesKaj: Ah, so it's the mere presense of GNOME that bothers you, not that it gets in your way. :-) [16:43] Hallo leute [16:43] hi alla [16:43] hi all* [16:44] how much ram kubuntu uses right after boot? === tchangang is now known as tta [16:47] tuhin: depends on many different things, but ~200 MiB and more [16:48] hmm , my gnome mint10 uses 280MB at boot, does it mean Kubuntu 10.10 is lighter? [16:57] hello everybody === PhilRod_ is now known as PhilRod [16:57] I have little problem with kwin render [17:05] is scim really a dead project?

I would like the system to autodetect them when ever I connect it to the system. Previous versions of Kubuntu used to autodetect it when ever I connect the speakers to the computer and then I could use amarok to play music. But now I have to connect the speakers to the system before system start and then only I could use it. Can any one let me know how I can make kubuntu to autodetect the speakers. === ralsina_lunch is now known as ralsina [18:09] hi i'm using kubuntu 10.10 and facing a problem trying to login [18:10] the last time i logged in, i was adding widgets to my desktop, and while adding one particular widget, the screen went blank, requiring me to reboot [18:10] now i cant log in to my desktop, instead it goes to the script page [18:11] i tyoed "startx" but i get an error msg which says "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or has failed.
