James147lovesthethianood: stops working how?00:00
lovesthethianoodlike the computer wont start up00:00
__BS__MajinSaiyan: OK, that's as much as I've got - someone else will have to take over. What I was looking for was whether or not the plug insertion / hardware worked or not. Currently that's neither confirmed nor denied. Suggestion: Turn off hdmi audio for the moment. Headphones are analog devices not digital (HDMI). Your sound may be going to one or the other, not both, and is currently set to...00:01
__BS__...HDMI when external device plugged in. But, like I said, someone knowledgeable will have to take it from here.00:01
MajinSaiyanOk i will try to look for a solution on the website. Thanks for your help though. Much appreciated.00:02
__BS__MajinSaiyan: Didn't say somone else here can't help, merely that I, whom am no expert, can't.00:04
__BS__<sigh> camserv still running. Once killed, cheese works fine / no seg fault. Where is gui service start/stop/restart/start condition in kubuntu? (Don't say system settings, that's only kde services.)00:05
MajinSaiyanI know what you meant. I will ask again in a few minutes. I'm browsing the site now to see if anyone else has had the same issue.00:05
__BS__MajinSaiyan: In meantime, since you have HDMI hooked up, do you have sound out of it? Also, seems to me in the past I've run into this, and muting the speakers worked. (HDMI being line out, mute wasn't effecting it.) Don't remember the setup at that time.00:06
__BS__MajinSaiyan: Hold on ... I've never seen HDMI out actually go out HDMI ... any chance you mean optical out?00:07

ubottuIf you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP300:07
__BS__Sometimes most of the battle seems to be 'Linux' semantics / good search terms.00:08
__BS__xawtv - v4l2: Waiting for buffer. Suggestions?00:09
MajinSaiyanlet me try the mute option first....and when i had Windows on my laptop it also detected HDMI output for audio since i do have an HDMI port.00:09
__BS__MajinSaiyan: Right, but in my experience, what one -expected-, logically, to be an hdmi port (sound + video) turned out to be, sadly, only video. <(*&^(&^%*&^%*&^%(*>00:10
__BS__MajinSaiyan: You're hooked up to a TV then? Not a receiver? (And ... all was happy under Windows?)00:11
=== naught102 is now known as naught101
MajinSaiyanWell when i had windows i experimented with the audio. Both audio and video played back on my tv by default, but i was able to switch the audio to play throgh external speakers. No....i wasn't completely happy when i had Windows. I've actually converted 2 of my computers from Windows to Ubuntu and Kubuntu.00:13
MajinSaiyani was talking about HDMI when i played it on my tv00:13

MarcoPauhello, mysqld-akonadi is starting at login and it won't let xampp load mysqld, which is interfering with what I'm trying to do. do you know how to permanently shut akonadi?00:23
__BS__MajinSaiyan: What I meant with Windows was all hardware was happy. (Which, from what you say, was mostly, but not entirely, true.) Which is all to say, it sounds like, what you're experiencing so far is consistent with what you had under windows. Which is also to say you are having software / configuration issues, not hardware issues - which just takes a whole bunch of possibilities off the table.00:24
MajinSaiyanWell I was happy with Windows for a while, but i got tired of searching all over the web for free software :P Configuring hardware with Windows 7 was easy, but i want to break away from Windows and join the Linux community.00:27
__BS__MajinSaiyan: If you go into system settings / multimedia, can you change the order of devices (preferences) such that you get audio where you want? (Leaving video alone, if you're getting a picture on your tv as desired.) Optionally - Hook your tv external audio outputs up to your receiver instead, and let the audio go along the HDMI? (Granted, PITA, if you just want to listen to music on...00:27
__BS__...your sound system, without having to turn the TV on - let alone if someone else wants to watch a show at the time.)00:27

Note - just because a live cd doesn't play sound, doesn't mean it can't, just means the default / most common settings, present on the live cd, don't suit your particular setup.00:29

SnowhogMajinSaiyan: See http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec00:45
MajinSaiyancool...thanks....let me check out that program00:49
MajinSaiyanhow can i install programs that i've downloaded off the net? it's in an archive format.....00:50
SnowhogMajinSaiyan: First, make sure that the downloaded file is developed to run in the version of Kubuntu you have installed. Is it? Second, you should always check the ubuntu repositories (KPackagekit) to see if the application is available there.00:51

__BS__Someone can correct me, but IIRC, gdebconf can be a handy think to have installed.01:06
Snowhog__BS__: Don't you mean debconf?01:07
__BS__OK, instead of 'someone can correct me' I should have said 'someone had better correct me'. My bad. OK, I broke down and had a look - gdebi, probably gdebi-kde in this case. Makes a package look like any other type of file - download and auto-open it, gdebi kicks in and runs the appropriate dpkg commands for you.01:27

yofelwhat you need for g++ would be something like12:35
yofeldeb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main universe12:35
yofeljust add that line to the  end12:35
yofeljust curious, why do you need something as ancient as 4.1?12:35

AlexZionhi everyone, I have a strange problem in Kubuntu 10.10 with kde 4.6.1...., very oftem when I move my mouse over the volume control on the tryicon, and I try to increase/decrease the volume, it just has a huge delay...,sometimes it takes then a minutes to do it ......,it is a known problem or it's just a problem of my configuration !?!14:52
* James147 is/was having a similar problem ^^ often with kmix useing 100% of one core then crashing the system :S14:53
James147AlexZion: try upgrading to kde 4.6.214:54
James147dont think i have noticed it since upgrading :) though I just got use to not chaning the volume for abit :)14:54
AlexZioni will James147......, so it was a known problem fixed inthis release ?14:55
James147AlexZion: I do not know... i was busssy at the time I noticed it and didnt chase it down ^^14:55
James147AlexZion: you may want to look for a bug report ^^14:56
jimmy51_hello, i'm ssh'd into my kubuntu 10.04 workstation.  how can i set up VNC or something similar remotely so I can access with GUI?14:56

ubottuVNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX14:57
AlexZionok  James147 I'll try it anyway, and if I get the same problem, I'll chck better on the bug report and I'll send a report if there isn't .....14:57
AlexZionJames147:  you think I should remove/rename somefolder after upgradeto 4.6.2 is done, to get ride it with a new configuration , or should be fine without do it ?14:58
jimmy51_James147: which viewer should i use?  xvncviewer is available in xvnc4viewer and tightvncviewer.14:59
James147AlexZion: I do not know ^^ i had tryed removing the config files in my first attempts to fix the problem but it didnt work... so it might not be related to them... though if you want to removes them they are at ~/.kde/share/config/kmix*14:59
jimmy51_(thanks btw)14:59
James147jimmy51_: I would use tightvncviewer... though only because it the only one i have used before15:00
jimmy51_ok, thanks15:01
AlexZionok James147 so I'll rename that folder after upgrade, thanks a lot15:01
James147AlexZion: kmix* are files15:01
James147Though you can move them to another folder or renmae them :)15:02

AlexZionJames147:  I thing they are talking about the same problem  (http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3115296.0) and they fixed out it , using renaming the .kde/share/apps/kmix  directory  instead of the other files15:10

BluesKajsudipta, it's fast and stable and configurable , some themes /colours fail to install , but otherwise it's fine ..I'm not mucj=h of a gnome user so it's difficult for me to compare19:59
sudiptaBluesKaj:is the desktop effects r pleasant ...such as the expose effect(if there any)?20:01
BluesKajsudipta . it's all amatter of taste look here for themes and colours etc , http://kde-look.org/20:05

mrbamboosticki have a fresh install of kubuntu on my macbook but since the first ota update somethings wrong with the kde-gui. opening the kickoff application starter or hovering the mouse cursor over the taskbar icons displays everything from the top margin of the screen downwards, as if a display offset had been mirrored23:13
mrbamboostickwho knows how to fix this?!23:14

James147mrbamboostick: what happens if you move the panel to a different edge of the screen23:22
mrbamboostickhang on, i'll give it a try23:22
mrbamboostickmoving it to the top edge doesn't change anything except that the kickoff starter is'nt displayed from the screen edge any more but from the lower panel edge. hovering over minimised programs or task icons however  still starts from the screen edge and covers the panel.23:25
mrbamboostickinteresting...23:26
mrbamboostickmoving the panel to the left edge displays the kickoff starter from the right edge of the screen and hovering displays the bubbles out of the screen apparently...23:27
mrbamboosticki'll try the right edge too, just for the hell of it.23:27
mrbamboostickpanel on the right edge: kickoff starter in top right screen corner. hovering produces no bubbles at all (probably out of screen)23:30
James147mrbamboostick: you can try resetting plasma to its default settings (or test a new user first)23:33
mrbamboostickmoving the panel back to the bottom doesn't change anything, but this time the kickoff icon is on its right end :)23:33
mrbamboosticki'd probably do that in the system settings, right?23:34
James147mrbamboostick: no, you need to rename ~/.kde/share/config/plasma*23:36
James147^^ rename or move23:36
mrbamboostickah, gotcha... most of the time i'm the type of linux user who depends on guis, but i can manage to open a console and do that. thanks :)23:37
James147^^ dosnt need to be with a console :) you can do it from dolphin23:39
roger_DreamsofanEagle: are you the same as _dreamy?23:47
DreamsofanEagleno23:47
roger_ok23:48
roger_mrbamboostick: Did you just say OTA update?23:48
mrbamboostickJames147: does that mean all files "plasma*" or "plasm*" such as plasmoidviewer-appletsrc?23:48
mrbamboostickroger: yes. i know it's android-speak23:48
James147mrbamboostick: plasmoidviewer-... shouldnt matter... though you probally wont notice if you did rename it :)23:49
roger_mrbamboostick: Wow :) the blending of Linux contiues23:49
mrbamboostickhehe23:49
roger_DreamsofanEagle: What are you using to modify the partition?23:50
DreamsofanEaglethe Ubutu live installer23:50
James147DreamsofanEagle: you may want to ask at #ubuntu for ubuntu related stuff :)23:51
mrbamboostickJames147: it changed nothing. do i have to log out and in again?23:52
James147mrbamboostick: no, the settings are only read when plasma-desktop is started so restart it :) (a logout will do that)23:53
mrbamboostickokies. laterz.23:53
