what_ifHello :)  Want recommendation on what to and how to turn off unneeded features in Kubuntu. Can I uninstall or disable "plasma", desktop search?01:16
Mase_wkwhat_if: you can disable plasma and nepomuk ( search )01:19
Mase_wksearch won't have too much impact01:20
Mase_wkif you aren't running plasma then you won't have any task bar / anything other than the window decorations01:20
what_ifMase_wk: hmm, need the task bar. perhaps I'll just disable the search01:21
Mase_wkplasma is not very resource intensive01:21
what_ifMase_wk: just trying to get my laptop (Specifically X) to use less than 80% cpu01:22
James147what_if: there is little point in disalbe the search.. it isnt very intensive or used at all if your not searching :) what you might want to do is turn off indexing01:23
Mase_wkwhat_if: your laptop shouldn't be at 80%01:23
Mase_wkhave a look and see what process it is01:23
James147what_if: no ^^ 80% sounds like something horribally wrong :S01:23
what_ifMase_wk: I agree it is wrong. Fresh install too01:23
Mase_wkif it's saying it's X then what it means is that it is an X application. Krunner has a taskmanager01:23
Mase_wkuse that01:24
James147what_if: what version of kubuntu and kde?01:24
what_if10.04.2LTS Ubuntu with whatever KDE4 is their default01:24
James147what_if: I would advise upgrading ^^ or at least testing a livecd...01:25
what_ifJames147: can't upgrade to a non LTS, unfortunately01:25
James147what_if: why not/01:25
what_ifJames147: This is for an "emergency go-kit" laptop. LTS was specified01:26
what_ifCurrently I'm switching the display driver from the ati to the vesa one. Will see if that fixes or helps01:28
what_ifWhat error is it when the colors are all wrong on a laptop display? Green and purple halos around everything, grainy desktop image. Hew, the CPU usage issue is gone though01:34

LogicallyDashingI use Konversation. When I right-click the channel name in the tab bar on the left, nothing happens. When I right click in the chat window I get the context menu as usual. But I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a context menu for channel tabs. What am I missing?02:12
frogonwheelsLogicallyDashing: yeah, there's meant to be a right-click context menu for channel tabs. works for me02:16
Ox0000i'm having problem adding a network printer via cups probably since my password contains some special characters. any help?02:19
LogicallyDashingfrogonwheels: any idea where in the settings I might turn that on?02:21
frogonwheelsLogicallyDashing: you could trying positioning them at the top and see if that changes things?02:22
LogicallyDashingfrogonwheels: nope02:23

katsrcHey, I was trying to upgrade to the latest Natty and the installer stalled at the ms-font installer dialog04:34
katsrccan i still resume the installation?04:35
katsrcor is it too messy?04:35
linuxtechI just tried an install of the natty daily build and it does not look good, it didn't past the initail menu...04:41
navatwoOK, there is something goings screwey with the natty rbranch06:01
navatwo>.<06:01
navatwoIts using up 4gb of memory, on idle and it is using 1gb of memory on my netbook.06:02
navatwoSomething is leaking.. HARD. >.> I'm not sure how I can try and find the issue to report it though06:02
Tm_Tnavatwo: natty support in #ubuntu+1 but you could try and see what RES field says for apps in top or htop output06:30
navatwoTm_T: already there06:33
navatwofx4 has 500mb >.<06:34
navatwoThe numbers do not appear to add up though06:34
Tm_Tnavatwo: how do you measure the mem usage in overall?06:34
Tm_Tnavatwo: see what " free -m | grep buffers " says06:35
navatwoTm_T:              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached06:37
navatwo-/+ buffers/cache:       1652       230706:37

navatwomeant to paste the second line >.<06:38
Tm_Tnavatwo: ah, so all is just fine then, you have 1,6 GiB used for apps, rest is just buffers and cache06:39
navatwoYes, but why is Top saying otherwise?06:39
navatwoalso why is everything crawling and tweaking out >.<06:40
Tm_Tnavatwo: to me it looks like top is saying the same, it's not saying about cache though06:40

Daskreechmimi2: hmm?07:35
Daskreechmore info please07:35
mimi2uninstalled jasper by accident. reinstalled it immediately after but nothing worked. decided to reboot but now it won't even boot07:40
Daskreechmimi2: What do you mean it won't boot?07:40
Daskreech the computer won't turn on?07:40
mimi2it hangs just before login07:44

DaskreechBefore you see the login screen? or before KDE loads?07:48
mimi2login07:49
mimi2i see the kubuntu logo where it thinks07:49
Daskreechmimi2: ah ok so you are ok then. What happens when you press Esc there?07:49

Daskreechchecking battery eh?07:50
Daskreechcan you press enter?07:50
Daskreechor Ctrl+C07:50
mimi2no07:51
mimi2if i hit escape it goes back to the logo07:51
Daskreechmimi2: can you press alt+ctrl+f1 ?08:08
mimi2turned box off08:08
Daskreechmimi2: ok when you turn it back on you should get a notice at the start saying press any key for menu in 5 4 3 2 108:11
Daskreechsomething to that effect08:11
Daskreechpress a button and then press e to edit the boot line08:11
DaskreechIf I recall correctly you press it again then you can edit the boot command08:12
Daskreechat the end of the line type the word 'single' then press ctrl-x08:12
Daskreechyou will get an interface where you can reinstall jpeg-200008:12

annmahi, is it reasonable to install Kubuntu Natty beta? I need to change my distro08:14
annmaand I would like a very recent one08:15
=== epzil0n_ is now known as epzil0n
Mamarokannma: I had and still have quite some problems with it, it chokes on grub mostly08:16
annmaouch08:16
annmaso maybe it's not the wisest08:16
annmaI have a 10.10 CD08:17
annmamaybe I can try to install it and see from there08:17
Daskreechannma: what is it?08:17
mimi2not seeing where you got that dask08:17
Daskreechmimi2: really08:17
annmait takes ages anyway to download an iso here08:18
annmaDaskreech: what is what?08:18
Daskreechmimi2: you don't get a note at the very start to say press to see menu?08:18
Daskreechannma: Oh never mind. Natty. Thought you were looking at somethign specific08:18
annmaI always used rpm-based distros so I am a bit fearful of .deb08:19
Daskreechannma: how so?08:20
annmaeverything is different08:20
DaskreechHave you used Yum?08:20
annmano08:20
DaskreechAh08:21
annmaI mostly do things on command line anyway08:21
Daskreechwell I think you will like the debian way08:21
Daskreechyum is command line :)08:21
annmaI used Mandriva since I started on Linux08:21
DaskreechIt's the same as apt-get08:21
Daskreechah so you have used urpmi ?08:21
annmaDaskreech: it's not about liking08:21
annmait's about time to set up my system08:21
annmaI don't want spending days on having a trunk running08:22
mimi2which do i pick? root, kernel? to add the single to?08:22
Daskreechmimi2: kernel at the very end of the line08:23
Daskreechannma: oh so why do you want Natty then?08:23
Daskreechsounds like you are trying to get into what you are tryin to avoid08:23
annmabecause it would have all the latest dependencies08:24
annmafor building master08:24
mimi2do i type single then ctrl x or hit enter first before crtl x08:24
annmamy main problem is that mandriva lacks behind trunk for a lot of dependencies08:24
mimi2now it says something ro quiet single08:25
Mamarokannma: why not using debian sid then?08:25
annmadebian has too much learning path for repos08:26
annmaand I always heard that debian was also very conservative08:26
Mamaroktrue, that. but if you want an upt-to-date system in Kubuntu you will need to add the various kubuntu PPAs08:26
mimi2going to hit enter then ctrl x08:27
mimi2did nothing08:28

mimi2daskreech, it looks like i have previous kernel versions? can i just boot into one of them and install from there?08:36
Daskreechmimi2: not of jpeg200 is really causing a login issue08:36
mimi2i noticed -_-08:36
Daskreechmimi2: You can just boot into something normally and then press alt+ctrl+F1 if you don't want to parameter hack08:36
mimi2so i can just install via a previous version?08:37
Daskreechannma: which trunk?08:37
Daskreechmimi2: of what?08:37
mimi2kernel08:37
mimi2boot menu is giving me multiple options08:38
mimi2to boot to. including recovery mode. maybe i boot into recovery and install there?08:38
mimi2or maybe chroot via live cd08:40
annmaDaskreech: kde trunk!!!08:40
annmaDaskreech: I develop on kde08:40
annmawhich is the problem08:40
annmaif I was anormal user I would get 10.10 and be happy08:40
Daskreechannma: :) just checking.08:40
Daskreechmimi2: that would work try recovery mode08:41
mimi2and install from there?08:41
Daskreechannma: perhaps you would like to talk to the development team for Kubuntu?08:41
Daskreech a number of them are upstream developers you can ask how their workflow with Kubuntu works08:42
Daskreechmimi2: yes08:42
annmaDaskreech: I think I would like to talk to someone having kubuntu and developing on kde trunk08:42
mimi2annam, you do? then can you please have the amarok people add a function to count the number of songs in library08:42
Daskreechannma: I just said that :)08:42
annmamimi2: I don't develop on amarok08:42
Daskreechmimi2: You can do that yourself08:42
annmathe development team for kubuntu is not the kde devel team08:42
annmaI don't even use amarok as I can't build it ;)08:43
annmachicken-egg08:43
Daskreechannma: I know that but some of them do a lot of upstream work08:43
mimi2dask, what do i pick? normal boot, netroot, etc08:43
mimi2there's 10? options!08:43
Daskreechapachelogger is well known. JontheEchidna is also doing a fair amount of work08:43
Daskreechhe's the maintainer of the weather wallpaper08:44

ubottuuser12: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org11:20
Peace-_BS_: are you there?11:20
_BS_Peace-: Hey. You have messages, i.e. your irc stayed up / no lost messages / you can/will catch up when you chew through the traffic?11:21
Peace-_BS_: so what's your problem now?11:22
Peace-_BS_: i suggest to install wicd-kde11:22
user12Peace- : I need offline installing. How can I do it?11:22
user12offline on Kubuntu, no ubuntu11:22
user12I have not synaptics11:22
Peace-you need basically to11:22
Peace-add medibuntu repository11:23
Peace-then11:23
Peace-sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras11:23
_BS_Peace-: At the moment, working through getting a connection to my router. Bear with me. In meantime: Why is attempt to connect to wireless causing wired to be disconnected - surely multiple 'nics' can connect simultaneiously.11:23
_BS_Peace-: wicd is what I said I was running before you posted link to look at, and your first question was: wicd?11:23
Peace-yea11:23
Peace-but i have said now11:24
Peace-wicd-kde11:24
andreas_yex....11:24
Peace-user12: packages are saved in this folder11:24
Peace- /var/cache/apt/archives11:24
andreas_yes....11:25
_BS_Peace-: There is no wicd-kde. However, there is the wicd metapackage that includes all necessary components. wicd is up and running. Not connecting to anything ... but that's a different story. Working on it.11:25
Peace-so if you need to save restricted packages and use them in another computer you have only to copy and paste them from a pc where you have network11:25
Peace-to a pc offline11:25
andreas_no......11:26
Peace-_BS_: i need to understand better you computer11:26
Peace-your problems11:26

Peace-omg kids11:27
_BS_Peace-: Bear with me for a moment while I figure out where I'm at. wlan0 is now present, networks are being found, it is trying to connect to my router. Working through connection issues at moment, e.g. choosing right wpa2 personal password, etc., in client. In meantime: why does attempt to use wi-fi cause wired to go down?11:27
andreas_good by....11:27
_BS_This notification widget is going to drive me bonkers.11:28
Peace-_BS_: well this is how it works11:29
Peace-i guess in the most of itme11:29
Peace-you can get only an ip11:29
Peace-i guess11:29
Peace-you need to interfaces to be connected with router?11:29
Peace-2/to11:29
Peace-here when i try to connect with ethernet wifi goes down11:30
Peace-and vice versa11:30
user12Peace, thank you11:31
_BS_Peace-: It is not how it works, at least 'til now. What I mean is, in all my playing in the past / various *buntu's, multiple links are always possible. e.g. eth0 and wlan0. e.g. Stick 2 pci network cards is pretty normal. Now, I'm not saying 10.04 hasn't changed things, nor that the current gui interfaces haven't introduced this behaviour as normal, but it is goody and new to me. Irritating, unex11:34
_BS_pected, and thus, I asked. Granted - in *most* situations, it's what you want. I'll guess this is the whole ease of use/automation effort - Leave your wired network, auto connect to a hotspot, come home, auto-connect to home, etc., etc. Sorry, I'll stop whining now.11:34
Peace-_BS_: :S whining or not whining if something doesn't work i know how you could feel11:36
=== NaN is now known as Guest31195
Peace-anyway the most important thing is to be into internet at least with an interface11:37
_BS_Peace-: Frustrated. Bad password. Repeatedly entered password here and into router. No go. Router SSID currently not being hidden. Using WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode. Net is now showing up in Wicd Network Manager. Chose WPA 1/2 (Preshared Key). Bad password. <irritated>11:38
Peace-_BS_: ok understood11:39
Peace-_BS_: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan11:39
Peace-i know hidden wifi gets problem11:39
Peace-with network manager11:39
Peace-don't use it11:39
Peace-this would be the most easy way to get wifi works better11:40
_BS_Peace-: Granted, that's why it's currently not hidden. Great system we have here: iwlist wlan0 scan: wlan 0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down.11:40

_BS_I know I know ifconfigwlan0 up. coming.11:40
Peace-_BS_: ok11:41
Peace-_BS_: mm that could be a driver problem11:41
Peace-let me check it out11:41
Peace-first11:41
Peace-you have a notebook ?11:41
Peace-if you have a notebook please check if you have a button to turn on your wifi11:43
Peace-second11:43
Peace-sudo rfkill list11:44
Peace-if something is blocked11:44
Peace-the you need to unblock11:44
Peace-sudo rfkill unblock all11:45
_BS_Peace-: Hmmm. My network not showing up. Yes, this is WNDA3100 on an (old) thinkpad. Router is openwrt. Net shows up under wicd. I'm wondering ... these are 2.4GHz/5GHz devices. wicd shows correct channel and GHz, but bad password. Would iwlist take only first radio, say, the 2.4 not the 5 ...11:45
_BS_Peace-: Hmmm. Give me a moment, I'll turn on the 2.4 and see how far things get.11:45
_BS_Peace-: As I said at beginning ... usb wnda3100. Not internal.11:45
Peace-well i don't know every model xD11:46
Peace-ok so if it's usb you have not button11:46
Peace-but check with rfkill11:46
Peace-if it's blocked11:46
_BS_Peace-: Sorry, don't mean to be cranky at you. Of course you don't know every model, and what you asked/suggested is certainly a reasonable guess.11:50
_BS_Peace-: Doesn't help there's 20+ nets in my area. Same result on 2.4GHz - sees it, tries to connect, validating password, bad password. (How can I get notification widget to stay still and just open a window or something. Up/down/up/down ... getting dizzy.) rfkill?11:53
Peace-_BS_: ok but you said before11:54
Peace- iwlist wlan0 scan: wlan 0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down.11:54
Peace-so11:54
Peace-you have done11:54
Peace-sudo iwlist11:54
Peace-or just iwlist?11:54
_BS_Peace-: OK, on 2.4 iwlist is now showing my net. Remind me ... what am I looking for?11:56
Peace-for wifi i  do this11:57
Peace-first i check if driver works11:57
Peace-iwconfig should show wlan stuff11:57
Peace-then i try to get netwoks11:57
Peace-with this11:57
Peace-sudo iwlist wlan0 scan11:57
Peace-if it can get network = driver works11:58
Peace-if driver works it's only a settings problem11:58
Peace-now11:58
Peace-you can use network manager11:58
Peace-or wicd11:58
Peace-before you a open wifi and try with that11:58
Peace-if works11:59
Peace-try to use a wpa11:59
Peace-if deosn't work try wep11:59

Peace-no war12:24
Peace-xD12:24
_BS_Peace-: Not war. (Makes sense.) But 'nowardev'? But I don't understand ... you're in #kubuntu - by definition, isn't it ... Linux against the world ... especially war against the evil empire ... Microsoft! D-:12:26

Peace-xD12:27
RiddellPeace-: I expect there's a good reason for that, ethernet works fine for me, but if you think it's a bug you should report a bug on network-manager (which isn't maintained by kubuntu developers)12:29

_BS_Peace-: This is getting very frustrating. Have tried router at both WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode. Have been happily using the latter with every other (Windows) system. Pretty sure with kubuntu too, just not on this particular laptop. Have tried both WPA 1/2 (Preshared key) and WPA 1/2 (Passphrase) on client. It tries real hard: establishing connection ...

_BS_Been struggling with getting my wi-fi going (10.04 lts) for a while now / tonight. Have just reproved that all is well using windows. i.e. No hardware failures, right passwords, schemes. By any chance ... windows seems to be using aes. My linux laptop tkip. Laptop will not connect. Is tkip/aes being interchangeably / automatically used, and my problems lie elsewhere?17:11
_BS_wicd shows connection attempts, but always comes back bad password. I know the password to be good. I know the hardware and router to be good. What I don't know is why kubuntu isn't happy.17:17
BluesKaj_BS_, which wifi chip , sudo lshw -C network17:17
_BS_BluesKaj: Have tried a couple of adapters. Currently, Netgear WNDA3100 802.11n dual band. Hmm. your lshw isn't showing me which chip. What info/line are you looking for?17:21
_BS_Dah. Sorry, haven't said ... old ibm thinkpad, this is a usb wi-fi adapter.17:23
BluesKaj_BS_, is this a USB wifi adapter on a pc , or are you on a laptop?17:23
_BS_BluesKaj- So, for example -C network shows the wired, and a product/vendor line, the usb wi-fi adapter does not.17:26
_BS_BluesKaj- lsusb shows Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0846:9010 NetGear, Inc. WNDA3100 802.11n. lshw does show the adapter, description/physical/logical/serial/capabilities/configuration, but not product/vendor/chip info.17:27
BluesKaj_BS_, I don'tr see a lot of info on the forums etc about the netgear usb adapter , but ti seems to have a broadcom chip. I assume you've tried this adapter with network manager and went with wicd afterwards ?17:32

d_edsurely the bug is saying the default window size is too small20:38
