[00:41] <mcdasu> My CD/DVD drive is not automatically loading any discs. I am new to Linux and the answers I have found are confusing me. I have found one answer to disable SMART fan in BIOS, but that leaves the fan running loudly and constantly. It seems dangerous as the person that posted it said they had fried their motherboard before. I re-enabled SMART fan and I am not able to use my CD/DVD drive. This is on Kubuntu 10.10. Is there any other options to
[00:41] <mcdasu> get this working?
[00:45] <mcdasu> This is the drive info from lsscsi: [1:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  TSSTcorp CDW/DVD TS-H492C GA01  /dev/sr0
[01:09] <mcdasu> (Added more info) My CD/DVD drive is not automatically loading any discs. I do not get notifed of a new disk being inserted nor can I open the disk using Amarok or Dragon Player. I am new to Linux (just installed Kubuntu 10.10 a few days ago) and the answers I have found are confusing me. I have found one answer to disable SMART fan in BIOS which did result in the CD/DVD drive working as normal, but that leaves the fan running loudly and

[01:39] <James147> mcdasu: weird :S very very weird
[01:39] <James147> mcdasu: is there a /dev/cdrom  ^^ or similar device node?
[01:40] <grusum> mcdasu: can u temporarily swap the cd drive out and try a different unit?
[01:42] <mcdasu> there is the /dev/sr0
[01:42]  * James147 notes that if you disable the smart fan control and the fans are running at full speed it is quite safe ^^ just anoying
[01:43] <mcdasu> and a /cdrom
[01:43] <mcdasu> i have no other drive to test it with
[01:43] <James147> mcdasu: try mounting the cdrom manually ^^ "sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt"
[01:43] <James147> (with a dick in the drive that is)
[01:43] <James147> disk ^^
[01:43] <James147> :)
[01:44] <mcdasu> oh ok thank you James
[01:44] <mcdasu> but it is extremely loud when it runs
[01:46] <mcdasu> i should also note the drive worked fine when I first installed Dapper before realizing it was way out of date
[01:47] <James147> mcdasu: can you manualy mount th drive?
[01:48] <mcdasu> gives this error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
[01:48] <mcdasu> missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[01:48] <mcdasu> In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[01:48] <mcdasu> dmesg | tail or so
[01:48] <FloodBotK1> mcdasu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:48] <James147> ^^ that was run with a disk in the drive right?
[01:49] <mcdasu> yes
[01:49] <mcdasu> how do i use that site to paste?
[01:49] <James147> mcdasu:  paste the text in the box on that site ^^ click submit ^^ paste the link you are taken to here
[01:49] <mcdasu> ok
[01:55] <mcdasu> here is what i get with dmesg \ grep sr0 -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/594685/
[01:57] <James147> mcdasu: afraid I dont have a clue what could be wrong :S
[02:04] <mcdasu> my second problem is my connection comes and goes i don't know why it keeps kicking me offline
[02:07] <mcdasu> it will also sometimes slow to a crawl for downloads at speeds less than 1KB/sec
[02:07] <mcdasu> on dapper I was getting 600KB/sec and I get that on Maverick sometimes too
[02:09] <mcdasu> on Mavrick it seems like when I keep my mouse moving I get faster speeds, but if I walk away and wait for it to load. It never will until I come back and move the mouse a little. Then suddenly once I move the mouse, the page/download is finished.
[02:12] <asobi> mcdasu, try uninstalling 10.10 and install 10.04 LTS?
[02:12]  * asobi found 10.04 to be very solid and stable
[02:17] <mcdasu> hmm i was reluctant to do so because it took me several days to get this far
[02:17] <mcdasu> i thought 10.10 was the most current
[02:17] <mcdasu> and stable release
[02:19] <mcdasu> asobi: is 10.04 more stable than 10.10 then?
[02:20]  * asobi is still on 10.04 so can't say which is more stable
[02:20] <asobi> 10.04 is LTS... long term support
[02:21] <asobi> but yea, 10.10 should be stable as well :/
[02:58] <b2thec_> hi, i have a problem with my kpackagekit. it stops while preparing and won't do anything. if i terminate it i can't start it again, and if i restart kubuntu won't boot. please help someone
[03:05] <frogonwheels> b2thec_: you tried with aptitude ?
[03:07] <BluesKaj> b2thec_, run sudo dpkg --configure -a , then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:09] <b2thec_> no, but it claims it "can't get exclusive lock". after it happened the first time, i restarted kubuntu and it wasn't able to mount the partition while booting. it's a fresh natty install, if that helps. aptitude seems not to be installed, and dpkg says it's locked "by another process", but i can't figure out which one
[03:13] <yofel> !aplock | b2thec_
[03:13] <yofel> !aptlock | b2thec_
[03:16] <BluesKaj> usually  dpkg --configure -a , will fix a dependency lockup
[03:19] <danubio_> hii
[03:19] <danubio_> need help
[03:19] <danubio_> need compile and install a tar file
[03:20] <danubio_> I put ./configure
[03:20] <danubio_> Now i see a generated install-sh file on directory
[03:20] <danubio_> how to install it?
[03:20] <frogonwheels> danubio_: did it make a makefile?
[03:21] <danubio_> yes
[03:21] <frogonwheels> danubio_: usually you  make all     and then   sudo make install
[03:21] <frogonwheels> danubio_:  or just    make
[03:21] <frogonwheels> danubio_: then sudo make install     to install it
[03:21] <danubio_> I see a message
[03:21] <danubio_> no are any rules ........... there is the message
[03:22] <frogonwheels> danubio_: then  just type make
[03:22] <danubio_> no work too
[03:22] <frogonwheels> danubio_: url for tarball?
[03:22] <danubio_> wait
[03:23] <BluesKaj> danubio_, install unp then , unp nameoftarball , then follow the readme textfile in he folder created in your /home/user
[03:23] <danubio_> developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6986&release_id=10911
[03:24] <danubio_> here download this gngeo-0.7.tar.gz
[03:24] <danubio_> need install these tar file
[03:24] <b2thec_> ubottu: thanks, seems to have helped. did that command also automatically install all the other updates, because they're no longer shown in kpackagekit, although i got no confirmation.
[03:24] <yofel> b2thec_: no, run apt-get as BluesKaj said
[03:25] <frogonwheels> danubio_: did ./configure succeed, or were there error messages?
[03:25] <danubio_> need see
[03:26] <danubio_> I See an error
[03:26] <danubio_> configure: error: can't find zlib on your system
[03:27] <b2thec_> yofel: sorry, i didn't no that was a bot. i did that, it didn't help before when dpkg claimed to be locked, and now it does nothing, at least nothing noticeable.
[03:27] <danubio_> how to get zlib?
[03:27]  * BluesKaj thinks package mangers should be banned, except as reference for available and installed apps
[03:27] <yofel> b2thec_: then all updates should be installed
[03:27] <b2thec_> k thx
[03:28] <yofel> danubio_: should be zlib1g-dev
[03:28] <frogonwheels> danubio_:  install the -dev package for it with your favourite package manager
[03:28] <danubio_> ok
[03:29] <frogonwheels> .. and keep doing that till all the ./configure issues are resolved.
[03:30] <BluesKaj> sometimes checkinstall can help find required depends
[03:31] <danubio_> configure: error: can't find sdl-config on your system
[03:31] <danubio_> I see a new message configure: error: can't find sdl-config on your system
[03:31] <yofel> libsdl1.2-dev
[03:31] <yofel> apt-file is useful to find things that aren't installed
[03:50] <xieyi> I am using kubuntu 11.04 firefox 4.0 with flashplugin version 10.3 d180. Everytime I close a page with flash content, the whole desktop stuck for a long time and the shutting down process takes longer time. Is it a prevalent symptom?
[03:51] <xieyi> The problem has been existed since flashplugin version 10.2 on my system.

[07:04] <surunveri> hi I recently tried installing a game.. It was called "ufo: alien invasion" or something like that
[07:04] <surunveri> in anycase it didn't start and I don't know how to remove it now
[07:04] <surunveri> :D
[07:05] <tsimpson> mr0wl: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=418
[07:06] <tsimpson> surunveri: how did you install it?
[07:07] <mr0wl> tsimpson: thanks
[07:08] <surunveri> there was an installer file, running it with sh unpacked an install wizard which ran normally, which asked where to install the game and I think it went in /usr/ somewhere but I think files were placed elsewhere too
[07:08] <tsimpson> mr0wl: http://shop.canonical.com/images/s/KUB40000.jpg <- that's an image, as the larger images seem to be broken atm
[07:09] <tsimpson> surunveri: check if it has an uninstaller somewhere, if not you'll just have to go find the files and delete them manually
[07:09] <mr0wl> tsimpson: great just what I was looking for :)
[07:10] <surunveri> i couldn't find one im afraid

[09:40] <planrich> does someone also has some issues using amarok? it crashes very often now although i removed the config files...
[09:47] <marxjohnson> planrich: My girlfriend said she had a problem with it getting halfway through the first song then crashing, does that sound like what you're talking about?
[09:48] <marxjohnson> Im just trying it out now to see if it happens with my profile
[09:49] <planrich> well sometimes is play song x and it crashes, sometimes i play song x and it crashes after the playback finished and sometimes is just crashes random
[09:49] <planrich> quite weird
[09:49] <marxjohnson> hmm odd
[09:49] <marxjohnson> you searched for bug reports?
[09:50] <marxjohnson> also, which version are you using?
[09:53] <marxjohnson> Hmm I dont appear to have the problem on the same machine
[09:53] <marxjohnson> so I'm afraid I cant be much help
[09:55] <planrich> im using 2.4.0
[09:55] <planrich> i think im going to install the debug libraries and send in a bug report
[10:01] <valorie> 2.4.1 is out

[10:26] <c2tarun> can anyone please tell me how can I mount a partition automatically
[10:32] <puneet> hello
[10:32] <puneet> any boedy using reliance netconnect on kubuntu??
[10:32] <kps_foo> puneet: Hello
[10:32] <puneet> can you tell me how yo installed it?
[10:32] <kps_foo> puneet: no, I use Tata Docomo 3g
[10:33] <puneet> i think driver must be the same for both of them
[10:33] <puneet> which driver have you installed?
[10:33] <kps_foo> puneet: there is no need to install driver
[10:34] <puneet> then?
[10:34] <kps_foo> puneet: just go to KnetworkManager in the bottom right side of the panel and click on show more
[10:34] <puneet> in mine its not detecting the mobile broadband
[10:34] <kps_foo> puneet: ok
[10:35] <kps_foo> puneet: do you know the APN and the dialup number of your reliance card ?
[10:35] <puneet> when i used ubuntu 10.10
[10:35] <puneet> apn?
[10:35] <kps_foo> APN == Access Point Name
[10:36] <puneet> i know the username pswd dial up no.
[10:36] <kps_foo> APN is unique for each mobile broadband provider
[10:36] <kps_foo> for example, for tata docomo 3g APN = tatadocomo3g
[10:37] <kps_foo> puneet: click on Manage Connections
[10:37] <kps_foo> in KnetworkManager
[10:37] <puneet> ok
[10:37] <kps_foo> puneet: then click on the Mobile Broadband tab
[10:37] <quup> what tool is used in kubuntu to create USB startup discs?
[10:37] <puneet> but thats not activated
[10:37] <kps_foo> puneet: is it greyed out ?
[10:37] <puneet> the mobile broadband tab is inactive
[10:38] <puneet> yes
[10:38] <kps_foo> quup: it is called startup disk creator
[10:38] <kps_foo> puneet: that is strange...have you connect your reliance data card
[10:38] <kps_foo> puneet: ?
[10:38] <puneet> yes
[10:38] <puneet> i think there is a driver problem
[10:38] <kps_foo> puneet: ok
[10:39] <puneet> bcoz even if u remove the device
[10:39] <puneet> it must be active
[10:39] <quup> kps_foo: will that only work for ubuntu based distributions or should it work for all debian based?
[10:39] <puneet> i have only three of tem active
[10:39] <puneet> wired,dsl,vpn
[10:39] <kps_foo> quup: only for ubuntu based distros
[10:39] <kps_foo> puneet: that is weird indeed!
[10:40] <quup> kps_foo: oh
[10:40] <kps_foo> quup: you can use unetbootin
[10:40] <kps_foo> quup: it is a nice utility...
[10:40] <quup> kps_foo: I'll try that, thanks
[10:40] <kps_foo> puneet: did you face this problem always ? or only recently ?
[10:41] <kps_foo> quup: best of luck
[10:41] <puneet> actually i just onstalled it today
[10:41] <puneet> installed*
[10:41] <puneet> and before that i was using ubuntu 10.10
[10:41] <kps_foo> puneet: did the data card work on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[10:41] <puneet> yes
[10:42] <kps_foo> puneet: is your kubuntu system updated ?
[10:42] <puneet> no
[10:42] <puneet> i just instaled it
[10:43] <puneet> and cant update till i have an internet connection
[10:43] <kps_foo> puneet: ok
[10:43] <kps_foo> puneet: lemme think....will be back with a idea...
[10:44] <puneet> ok..thanks
[10:46] <kps_foo> puneet: try this

[15:52] <lovre> hi all
[15:53] <lovre> i cant seem to make Amarok open up on the same place. I have set the application behavior for it on Remeber Position, but it doesnt work. Every time i start it its on 0,0. How can i fix this?
[15:54] <Peace-> lovre: maybe settings it's config file
[15:55] <James147> lovre: or you could create an application rule ^^
[15:55] <lovre> James147: i said i allready did that
[15:55] <lovre> James147: it doesnt work
[15:55] <James147> lovre: and what settings did you set?
[15:55] <Peace-> lovre: ls ~/.kde/share/config | grep amarok
[15:55] <Peace-> or
[15:55] <lovre> James147: i set Position: Remeber
[15:55] <Peace-> lovre: ls ~/.kde/share/apps | grep -i  amarok
[15:56] <James147> Peace-: ^^ or ls ~/.kde/share/config/amarok*  :)
[15:57] <James147> lovre: what happens if you set it to applit intally and give it a value?
[15:58] <lovre> James147: second, let me see
[16:00] <lovre> James147: same, starts at 0,0 again
[16:00] <James147> ^^ then try another field to make sure the its catching the window
[16:00] <James147> (something like no border )
[16:01] <lovre> James147: ok, sec
[16:02] <lovre> James147: it doesnt seem to work. Doesnt detect the windows
[16:03] <James147> lovre: go to the "window" tab, click "detect window propertities" click amaroks window
[16:03] <James147> lovre: and make sure you are restarting amarok rather then minimising it to the systray :)
[16:04] <Peace-> James147: bough a hp officejet 4500
[16:04] <Peace-> James147: works out of the box
[16:04] <James147> nice
[16:04] <Peace-> less the scanner ==> hp-setup = fixed
[16:04] <James147> I think most of hps stuff tends to jsut work

[16:37] <glyphrider> OK... can anyone tell me how to turn off "Search and Launch" (I feel like a huge idiot because I managed to start it and don't know how to get back to my "normal" desktop)
[16:39] <glyphrider> Doh! Got it...
[16:40] <BluesKaj> what search and launch ?
[16:41] <glyphrider> Desktop Settings | Activity | Type = Desktop or Search and Launch Containment
[16:42] <BluesKaj> ah ok
[16:46] <glyphrider> I was playing around with widgets and desktop settings and all of a sudden.... "how'd I get here?!?" ;-)
[16:49] <dequire> glyphrider: it happens :)
[16:49] <glyphrider> Ha! :)
[16:49] <dequire> That's the best part of KDE, so much to do and tweak and play around with
[16:51] <dequire> Speaking of which, does anyone here know of a tutorial on setting up OwnCloud after it is installed from the Natty repos? I'm afraid I'm rather stuck, and the instructions on the OwnCloud website are rather vague...
[16:51] <dequire> I'd write a tutorial, but first I need to get OwnCloud running myself =)
[17:01] <shadeslayer> dequire: #myowncloud i believe
[17:01] <shadeslayer> uhm no
[17:01] <shadeslayer> #owncloud
[17:02] <reagle> I'm using natty's 4.6.2 kde, and have some kdeinit4 kded4 processing running amok... what to do or how to kill them?
[17:03] <shadeslayer> reagle: you don't want to do that
[17:03] <reagle> shadeslayer: why?
[17:03] <shadeslayer> that's the main KDE Thread
[17:03] <shadeslayer> or as it's called .. the KDE Daemon
[17:04] <reagle> how to i figure out who's hogging the cpu?
[17:05] <reagle> i recently upgraded from kde 4.5 in the move to natty, perhaps something arising there?
[17:11] <dequire> thanks shadeslayer - it made sense to ask here first, however, since there is a package specifically for Natty, which is probably installed slightly diferent than, say, for SUSE. I will ask there though as well.
[17:11] <shadeslayer> dequire: probably
[17:12] <shadeslayer> dequire: Riddell packaged it and ran it successfully on a EC2 machine, but he is away for the weekend, that's why i pointed you towards their channel :)
[17:12] <dequire> shadeslayer: That was my next ? lol. Seems you beat me to it.
[17:12] <shadeslayer> :P
[17:14] <shadeslayer> dequire: for a complete listing of what is installed where, just : dpkg -L packagename ... that probably will give you a better idea
[17:19] <dequire> I got the listing already from Launchpad. And Apache is up and running. I just can't seem to get ownCloud to initialize, nor can I find a script to do so, nor am I sure exactly what part(s) go into the /var/www folder, . I'll just wait and ask Jonathan =)
[17:19] <lovre> James147: I have used auto dete+
[17:20] <shadeslayer> one sec
[17:20] <James147> lovre:  it work?
[17:21] <lovre> James147: sorry, second.  i need to fix something. brb
[17:21] <shadeslayer> hmm.. nothing
[17:21] <dequire> shadeslayer: What were you looking for?
[17:22] <shadeslayer> dequire: was looking at Jonathan's blog
[17:22] <shadeslayer> if he posted steps and stuff
[17:22] <dequire> shadeslayer: Ahhh. Yea I didn't thnk so. I'll volunteer to write a how-to, as soon as I get my server up and runing.
[17:22] <shadeslayer> :)
[17:24] <dequire> shadeslayer: In my perfect Kubuntu world, I'll have many devices running plasma-mediacenter hooked anywhere to my media and files through ownCloud. That makes me smile :)
[17:24] <shadeslayer> :P
[17:24] <shadeslayer> PMC is quite unfinished
[17:25] <lovre> James147: when i do Force position, it works, but Remeber doesnt work. Even when i quit amarok intead min to tray
[17:25] <dequire> shadeslayer: I'm aware, but at least it still active
[17:25] <dequire> shadeslayer: and needed, imho
[17:26] <James147> dequire: as fara s i know you have to install the owncloud files and then visit the site for initalisation
[17:26] <shadeslayer> :)
[17:26] <dequire> James147: That I did
[17:26] <James147> ^^ though from what I remember of when i tried it dident really do anything after I set it up :(
[17:26] <James147> and coulnt find anyinfo on how to actually use it
[17:27] <dequire> James147: lol. same here. hence my asking =)
[17:27] <dequire> James147: The default install puts nothing in /var/www and the ownCloud website is a bit "vague" on what all exactly goes there
[17:28] <James147> dequire: its vagure because not all distros use /var/www as the base for webpages
[17:29] <dequire> James147: and there is no .sh script or anything to "initialize" the server - though I'm sure it's rather simple and I just didn't see it. Not to mention I'm no PHP expert.
[17:29] <James147> dequire: and as I said, once the website file are in palce the setup is done by connecting to the site and running through the setup sets there
[17:30] <James147> dequire: as with more web apps the setps are: install the sites files, configure apache/php with the features needed then connect to the site through a browser
[17:31] <dequire> James147: Shouldn't there be a default .html file placed in the WWW folder after install, though?
[17:31] <James147> ^^ though after doing that I manage to seemingly gothough the setup of the site without error but afterthat it didnt really do much ^^
[17:31] <James147> dequire: a index.php or index.html ^^ the first is more likly
[17:33] <dequire> hmmm. when I point Firefox to it, it opens the page as text opposed to running the php script
[17:33] <James147> dequire: that indicates that php or apache isnt configed correctly
[17:34] <dequire> Ok I'll play around some more
[17:35] <James147> dequire: make sure the open_basedir line in your php.ini file inclues the /var/www directory (assuming that the base of where the files are ^^ if not then make sure it includes the base of where the files are)
[17:36]  * James147 notes that he would like to know if you gett it working at all :) he is very intrested in getting it to work properly
[17:42] <dequire> James147: Well not that's interesting. It appears I do not have that file.
[17:42] <James147> dequire: the package? or the source ?
[17:43] <dequire> James147: I installed from the Natty package
[17:44] <James147> this one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/owncloud/1.1+git20110209-0ubuntu1 ?
[17:46] <dequire> Yes. Installed from the CL within Natty beta, so I assume that's the right link.
[17:49] <annma> hi, is there any people here building KDE trunk on KUbuntu?
[17:50] <annma> I miss Java and have no idea what to install
[17:50] <James147> dequire: /usr/share/owncloud  looks like the path to the sites files
[17:51] <dequire> James147: My assumption was that everthing goes there, but that the "Index.php" file needed placed into /var/www (which it wasn't by default). Still, I'm missing something :/
[17:52] <James147> dequire: no, looking at the package the entire site is in /usr/share/owncloud
[17:53] <James147> dequire: as one of the files is a apache config file for setting up an alias of "/owncloud" that leads to "/usr/share/owncloud/
[17:53] <dequire> ok. I'll play some more and let you know.
[17:54] <James147> dequire: look at /etc/apache2/conf.d/...something.../owncloud.conf  (sorry, not on a ubuntu baised system so the paths are slightly different)
[17:58] <dequire> James147: Will do, thank you
[17:59] <dequire> James147: What's throwing me off are the debian instructions from ownClod's website: Install ownCloud
[17:59] <dequire> Ubuntu
[17:59] <dequire>     copy ownCloud to apache server directory (/var/www in most cases)
[17:59] <dequire>     sudo cp -r owncloud /var/www
[17:59] <dequire>     make ownCloud directory accessable to apache
[17:59] <dequire>     cd /var/www
[17:59] <FloodBotK1> dequire: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:00] <dequire> James147: As per here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594899/
[18:00] <James147> dequire: they are suggestions, not strict rules... if you follow them then remove the package, if you use the package then you need to make adjustments to them ^^ though the package should handle most of them by its self
[18:01] <James147> dequire: ^^ for your informations it dosnt matter where on the system a web site is located, by convention debian places them in /var/www but they can actually be anywhere on the system, the package seems to have placed them in /usr/....
[18:02] <dequire> James147: Okay good to know! Thanks for all the help :)
[18:02] <dequire> always learining...
[18:02] <James147> dequire: not sure why they are there ^^ I sould have expected to find them in /var/www   ... but it dosent really matter
[18:03] <James147> dequire: what is important is the apache config files ^^ on debian they are in /etc/apache2/config.d   ^^ there should be one called owncloud.conf (possibally in a sub directory) that tell apache where to look when an alias is called
[18:05] <James147> ^^ it should look something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594900/
[18:06] <draik> Has anyone successfully installed Adobe Air on 64-bit Kubuntu? I get this error when trying to install the deb package: package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[18:07] <James147> draik: use the 64bit package if there is one
[18:08] <draik> James147: It doesn't specify :(
[18:08] <James147> http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/521/cpsid_52132.html
[18:09] <James147> draik:  ^^
[18:09] <draik> Interesting. Thanks, James147
[18:13] <littlegirl> Hey there, I use Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Whenever a browse window is opened by any program that lets me shop through the directories on my computer, it starts in the Home directory. Where can I change that setting so that it always starts in the Desktop directory?
[18:16] <littlegirl> In KDE 3 you could define a default directory. Is that possible in KDE 4?
[18:18] <dequire> James147: Ok I got it now :)
[18:18] <dequire> Was trrying to open the file via the Open File dialouge box in Firefox as opposed to pointing to http://127.0.0.1/owncloud/index.php (DOH!)
[18:19] <littlegirl> In KDE 3 you could define a default directory. Is that possible in KDE 4?
[18:19] <James147> dequire: :) yeah, you need to go though the web server
[18:19] <mren> littlegirl: maybe in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs ?
[18:19] <dequire> James147: lol. I knew it was something insanely simple
[18:20] <littlegirl> mren: Thanks!
[18:20] <mren> np
[18:21] <James147> dequire: just so you know why: the file manager will just open the file directly, not caring for its contents (this will work fine for html documents) however, php scripts need to be interperted by the php interperter and this is what the web server does ^^ it then send the result to the browser
[18:21] <littlegirl> mren: Perfect! (:
[18:23] <dequire> James147: Makes all the sence in the world :)
[18:27] <James147> dequire: ooo, seems to be working better this time :)
[18:29] <dequire> James147: Are there defaults for the passwords for the root user and the MySQL databases?
[18:30] <James147> dequire: umm, no, I thnk you have to type in the password for root when it is installed
[18:31] <dequire> James147: Well, I left them blank and now the page will no longer load >.<
[18:31] <James147> dequire: that was not a good idea
[18:31] <dequire> James147: haha. Obviously.
[18:32] <James147> http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/resetting-permissions.html
[18:51] <annma> hey people
[18:52] <annma> nobody with Kubuntu who builds KDE trunk?
[18:52] <annma> I just switched to Kubuntu natty, love it
[18:52] <annma> but I need to build KDE trunk/master and I am a bit lost about packages to install
[19:52] <dequire> James147: Well that isn't going so well. Reset the PW for root user in mysql, but can not get to the ownCloud settings page anymore
[19:59] <James147> dequire: then reset ownclouds configs
[20:00] <James147> ^^ though I dont know how to do that :)
[20:01] <dequire> James147: heh. Well, the obvious "uninstall - reinstall" failed. Hmmm. Back to hacking :)
[20:01] <James147> dequire: did you purge?
[20:01] <dequire> yepp
[20:30] <damianos> Hi
[20:31] <damianos> I have an issue with virtualbox in ububtu/kubuntu all the time
[20:31] <damianos> for last two years
[20:31] <damianos> I hope that you can help me
[20:31] <damianos> I can install virtualbox I can use it
[20:32] <nitr0> yo
[20:32] <damianos> but that if i change kernel no matter which one and I do ./vboxdrv setup I am not able to comile new modules anymore
[20:33] <NiTr0> 123
[20:33] <damianos> I have been using linux since 2000/2001 so I can use google to resove each problem with linux but not this time
[20:34] <damianos> is any specific step which I need to use to resolve an issue with new modules for virtualbox for new kernel??
[20:34] <damianos> *is there any ....
[20:34] <shadeslayer> damianos: this is natty?
[20:35] <James147> damianos: what error do you get?
[20:35] <James147> when you try to recompile the modules
[20:38] <jordan_> i cant get any music players to sycn my iphone
[20:46] <SMG1> hello, how can I watch quicktime apple trailers in Firefox-4 (linux)?
[20:49] <damianos> shadeslayer: yes is natty but accually I have that issue all the time starting from 9.04
[20:49] <damianos> James147: error is connected with the linux headers
[20:50] <damianos> James147: I always have info that modules cannot be builed because of ...and a lot of info that headers are not in the system infact they are
[20:51] <James147> damianos: do you have the linux headders installed for your kernel version?
[20:51] <damianos> Yes I pretty sure that I have it
[20:51] <damianos> that is why I am here, I always try to resolve my problems by myself
[20:52] <damianos> this time I can not do it - I belve that there is some trick which I don't know
[20:53] <damianos> this is mak make.log
[20:53] <damianos> http://pastebin.com/7RBZx1qw
[20:53] <damianos> from /var/log/dkms/virtualbox-ose/4.0.4/build
[20:54] <James147> damianos: can you check to see if the package linux-headers-2.6.XX-XX is installed (there XX-XX is the exact version of your kernel)
[20:54] <damianos> but I noticed that if I use virtualbox-4.0 form virtualbox repository error is different
[20:55] <damianos> I use kernel 2.6.38-8-generic
[20:55] <damianos> and I have linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic also
[20:55] <James147> damianos: what what is the command you use to execute the script?
[20:55] <damianos> can it be that this "generic" will be different for kernel and for headers
[20:55] <damianos> ?
[20:56] <damianos> cd /etc/init.d/
[20:56] <damianos> and then
[20:56] <damianos> ./vboxdrv setup
[20:56] <James147> damianos: as root?
[20:56] <damianos> of course :)
[20:56] <James147> just making sure :)
[20:57] <damianos> I also notice that in debian unstable I had the same issue
[20:57] <damianos> I saw in inet that people reported similar issue with 4.0.4
[20:57] <NiTr0> 12
[20:57] <damianos> even in lunchpad it's reported and then is reported as fixed
[20:57] <damianos> but not fixed for me
[21:52] <damianos> is it possible to use kubuntu 10.04 lts with new kernel and kde 4.6.2?
[21:52] <damianos> new kernel > 2.6.38?
[21:52] <James147>  damianosnot easly
[21:52] <James147> damianos: you will motly have to compile things your self
[21:52] <LogicallyDashing> I think you'd pretty much have to compile the lot from source
[21:53] <James147> LogicallyDashing: :)
[21:53] <damianos> ok, not worth for me
[21:53] <LogicallyDashing> It would make more sense to wait till the end of the month and get 11.04 which is also lts
[21:53] <damianos> 11.04 will be lts ???
[21:54] <LogicallyDashing> ...wait, will it?
[21:54] <LogicallyDashing> I forget
[21:54] <damianos> now i have 11.04 and vbox is gone
[21:55] <damianos> I need to have stabe system + new kernel (because of nouveau) + kde 4.6.2
[21:55] <LogicallyDashing> virtualbox? I don't think that's a standard package...
[21:55] <damianos> vbox is in repository
[21:58] <James147> damianos: 10.10 is stable ^^
[21:58] <James147> damianos: at least as stable as your doing to get if you want 4.6 and a newer kernel :)
[21:59] <damianos> Acutally till today morning I had 10.10
[21:59] <damianos> I was stupid and on production machine I installed beta 11.04
[21:59] <damianos> my wife is going to kill me :)
[21:59] <James147> :p
[21:59] <James147> damianos: you can always reintall 10.10
[21:59] <damianos> really ???
[21:59] <damianos> you mean reinstall from scratch?
[22:00] <James147> damianos: -- mostly -- from scratch
[22:00] <James147> damianos: but yes :)
[22:01]  * James147 notes that if you dont formate the partition nwith /home on, the installer will not delete your user settings/data ^^ though its ebst to backup anything importany anyway
[22:37] <sudipta> just installed kde 4.6 in ubuntu 10.10....but unable to connect to internet via a usb modem ....any help??
[22:40] <sudipta> just installed kde 4.6 in ubuntu 10.10....but unable to connect to internet via a usb modem ....any help??
[22:42] <sudipta> just installed kde 4.6 in ubuntu 10.10....but unable to connect to internet via a usb modem ....any help??
[22:43] <jozefk> which kde is coming with 11.04 beta ?
[22:43] <jozefk> beta2 I mean
[22:44] <James147> jozefk: 4.6 I would beleave
[22:44] <yofel> 4.6.2
[22:44] <James147> !wait | sudipta
[22:45] <jozefk> cool. I think I'll try that one
[22:45] <jozefk> I didn't like unity
[22:47] <jozefk> hope kubunu with 4.6.2 works better than some other distros with same version of kde
[22:48] <goodtime> kde needs alot of ram
[22:49] <jozefk> I have 2GB DDR2 is that enough?
[22:49] <goodtime> nope get  4 gig
[22:49] <goodtime> is it 1686
[22:49] <goodtime> I686 i meen
[22:50] <goodtime> should run ok as 1386
[22:50] <jozefk> PIV 3.2GHz HT with intel graphic on MoBo
[22:50]  * yofel has kubuntu running on his eeePC with 2G, so that's more than enough
[22:50] <goodtime> well that should work just a little slow
[22:50] <yofel> KDE does like to have plenty of memory to work with though
[22:50] <jozefk> if 2GB is not enough I'll go for xubuntu
[22:51] <yofel> jozefk: should work fine, try it
[22:51] <iZeke_> mines 1.6 on a netbook, works well for me.
[22:52] <yofel> do use the 32bit verision with 2GiB I would say, 64bit uses a bit more memory
[22:52] <goodtime> linux is kinda funny if you have a motherboard it doesnt like it wont perform
[22:52] <jozefk> is there some way to disable some effects or anything in KDE so that eats less RAM>
[22:52] <jozefk> ?
[22:52] <goodtime> yes compize config
[22:53] <iZeke_> yes, you can disable desktop effects completely
[22:53] <yofel> you can configure and disable the effects in system settings -> desktop effects
[22:53] <yofel> goodtime: we don't use compiz by default though
[22:53] <James147> jozefk: 2gigs should be plenty of ram and you shouldnt need to worry
[22:54] <goodtime> oic
[22:54] <James147> jozefk: ^^ i have been running a netbook with 2gigs of ram without issue, and without swap space
[22:54] <jozefk> i'll try to disable. by the way, pulseaudio is there by default or not?
[22:54] <James147> and never has an issue
[22:54] <yofel> jozefk: pulseaudio is there
[22:54] <iZeke_> pulseaudio is yes
[22:54] <jozefk> ok good
[22:55]  * yofel has swap on his eeePC, but with swappiness 0 it's pretty much never used
[22:55] <yofel> I do have the effects disabled though, too slow on the intel 945GME
[22:55] <James147> yofel: I use to, but never ever saw it beeing used so I disabled it to see, and have never seen a problem
[22:55] <jozefk> hope it will work. if it will work can I continue using beta2 and get regular updates just like with final release?
[22:56] <James147> yofel: really? I have them enabled... though most the time I just have a konsole window open and a browser
[22:56] <James147> jozefk: yes
[22:56] <James147> jozefk: if you keep upgrading then you will effectivy be inline with the relased vesion when it is released
[22:56] <yofel> for that they're ok, but most effects just feel sluggish here and give me a headache so I turned them off. Don't need them anyway
[22:57] <yofel> saves battery too
[22:57] <James147> yofel: I keep them on for the persent windows ^^ find it far to useful to not have it :)
[22:57] <yofel> ah, I never use that, not used to it. Handy though indeed
[22:58] <James147> yofel: though I should turn off the ones I dint use :) and my battery last about 6-10 hours so I dont really ahve much to worry about
[22:58] <yofel> heh, I've one of the earlier ones so 4h is pretty much what I get. 5 if I tweak the session a bit
[22:59] <jozefk> I think many people will switch to kde or xfce. coz of gnome3 and unity :)
[22:59] <James147> yofel: :) yeah, i have up tweaking mine... since I tend to do some compiling on it any advantage i gain is usually lost :D
[22:59] <James147> gave up ^^
[23:00] <James147> jozefk: I doupt it... some will, as some switch from kde to gnome when kde 4 came out since they dont like change being forced on them...
[23:00] <yofel> I usually only spend a minute with powertop
[23:00] <yofel> more isn't worth it indeed
[23:01] <James147> jozefk: though most people dont care as long as they can do what they want to do and will use whatever is there
[23:01] <jozefk> I switch to gnome by that time. but not because I was forced to use kde 4 but because kde 4 kept crashing so I was not able to use it
[23:02] <yofel> I used gnome for a while too, went back with kde 4.3, that was ok by then
[23:02] <jozefk> I never went back. I like gnome much more than KDE. frankly :0
[23:03] <jozefk> :)
[23:03] <yofel> although you might still want to consider disabling nepomuk or at least strigi, uses too much resources here
[23:03] <jozefk> nepomuk? what is that for?
[23:03] <jozefk> and how to disable strigi?
[23:03] <James147> I stayed with kde ^^ though i switch between kde 4 and 3 for a while... although I dont tend to mind running slightly unstable software ;)
[23:04] <James147> yofel: is there much point in disabling nepomuk.... its strigi that takes up the resources
[23:04] <James147> though its gotten better with 4.6
[23:04] <jozefk> yeah strigi is overkill :)
[23:05] <yofel> well, I do have nepomuk enabled here, though nepomukfilewatch does take a bit of disk I/O after login here which is slightly annoying.
[23:05] <yofel> well, that's only for a couple of minutes, then it's silent
[23:05] <jozefk> but kde is powerful
[23:06] <jozefk> if you compare it with xfce for example
[23:06] <JuJuBee> Need help with audio.  I hear the startup chimes but can't hear audio from youtube or amarok... what can I do?
[23:07] <jozefk> rigk click kmix > settings > Audio Setup . I believe
[23:09] <JuJuBee> Dont see that...  WHen I click speaker in sys tray I get mute, select master channel or show mixer window
[23:09] <jozefk> yes show mixer window
[23:09] <jozefk> then settings..
[23:09] <JuJuBee> ok looking at mixer window
[23:10] <JuJuBee> nothing muted
[23:10] <jozefk> settings in menu and then audio setup
[23:10] <JuJuBee> all volumes at full
[23:10] <JuJuBee> configure channels? or configure kmix?
[23:11] <jozefk> no audio setup?
[23:11] <JuJuBee> no.
[23:11] <JuJuBee> How about system settings-> multimendia?
[23:11] <jozefk> maybe configure kmix then
[23:11] <jozefk> you can try there also. try both
[23:12] <JuJuBee> What are you looking for?
[23:12] <jozefk> audio setup
[23:12] <JuJuBee> what specifically?
[23:12] <JuJuBee> output device preference?
[23:13] <jozefk> everything there. try different settings and see what works
[23:14] <JuJuBee> I have my SoundBlaster card as #1 output for all output types.  I test and hear the sound, but nothing when try Youtube or Pandora or Amarok...
[23:15] <yofel> you don't have an 'internal audio' or something like that?
[23:15] <JuJuBee> yofel: where?
[23:15] <JuJuBee> I don't see one...
[23:15] <JuJuBee> Oh, onboard you mean
[23:15] <jozefk> yes you must to disable intel audio in BIOS and
[23:16] <yofel> in the phonon settings
[23:16] <JuJuBee> I do, but it was not working a while back so I installed an old SB Live card.
[23:16] <jozefk> use pulseaudio
[23:16] <yofel> ah, 2nd card, hm...
[23:16] <JuJuBee> jozefk: where do I set to pulse?
[23:16] <yofel> *if* pulse is installed you might need to install pavucontrol and tell that to use the other card
[23:17] <yofel> and pulseaudio is what's called "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" here, but that's pretty much what my notebook has
[23:17] <jozefk> i think in audio setup
[23:17] <JuJuBee> again with the audio setup.... dont see that anywhere...
[23:17] <jozefk> I have creative PCI soundblaster 5.1 that's why I know
[23:17] <yofel> JuJuBee: install 'pavucontrol' and check what's set there
[23:18] <jozefk> pavucontrol is gtk app
[23:18] <yofel> jozefk: you mean 'speaker setup' ?
[23:18] <jozefk> kmix can do it also
[23:18] <yofel> jozefk: kmix configures almost nothing of pulse here
[23:18] <jozefk> then kubuntu is different
[23:19] <jozefk> maybe it's ubuntu + kde
[23:19] <yofel> maybe arch uses a different audio mixer
[23:19] <yofel> we use whatever KDE ships as kmix
[23:19] <jozefk> arch?
[23:20] <yofel> ah wait, *now* I found what you called audio setup
[23:20] <JuJuBee> OK installed pavucontrol.  SHows 2 outputs via8237 and my sb live
[23:20] <yofel> which are the phonon settings
[23:20] <jozefk> :)
[23:21] <JuJuBee> where do I find phonon settings?
[23:21] <yofel> systemsettings -> multimedia -> phonon
[23:21] <jozefk> acoording to me you didn't really need pavucontrol
[23:22] <JuJuBee> so all I have there is device preference and backend
[23:22] <yofel> well, I suggested it out of habit, it seems kmix became a bit more useful by now, a while ago I only had one master channel control there
[23:22] <JuJuBee> Im using 9.04 if that makes a diff
[23:22] <jozefk> OK I burned 11.04 beta2 kubuntu so I want to see how it works :)
[23:22] <yofel> JuJuBee: *really* 9.04?
[23:22] <JuJuBee> yes, old computer
[23:23] <JuJuBee> AMD Sempron 2400 or so
[23:24] <yofel> sorry, I have no idea how the controls look like in KDE 4.2 / 4.3 whater 9.04 has, but try what we suggested anyway
[23:24] <yofel> *whatever
[23:24] <James147> JuJuBee: using an older version dosnt mean it runs better on an older computer ^^
[23:24] <Chardot> Hi o/ Question: I just installed Kubuntu Maverick from a LiveCD, everything went just great, rebooted, and I can't log in to kdm, it doesn't seem to recognize my password. But if I open a tty, I can login without problems.. what could be wrong?
[23:24] <JuJuBee> James147: 10.x was super slow
[23:24] <yofel> aaand 9.04 isn't supported anymore (at least when it comes to security updates)
[23:24] <JuJuBee> Not worth the delay....
[23:25] <Chardot> (btw, I had to install irssi to enter IRC, from where I'm connected now..)
[23:25] <JuJuBee> yofel: what should I try?  I can't find phonon
[23:25] <Chardot> I already tried restarting kdm from the tty... but it's the same when trying to logging in..
[23:25] <yofel> JuJuBee: hm, that was the layout in 4.6, but it should still be in the multimedia settings, maybe those are only the phonon settings back there
[23:26] <yofel> Chardot: can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the xkb settings to make sure your keyboard layout is right?
[23:27] <yofel> I haven't heard of that issue though until now..
[23:27] <Chardot> yofel: sure, give me a sec
[23:30] <Chardot> yofel: it's ok. currently using us alt-intl (which is correct for me)
[23:30] <yofel> hm...
[23:31] <yofel> I'm clueless there I fear, there's a /var/log/kdm.log too if it says anything
[23:32] <Chardot> yofel: hint: after clicking "log in", the screen does something weird, something like it has a problem with video drivers..  and then it throws me back to kdm login...
[23:33] <Chardot> Idk.. maybe it has something to do with that.
[23:33] <yofel> hm, then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old too and ~/.xsession-errors
[23:33] <Chardot> ok, let me see..
[23:36] <Chardot> yofel: haha, it says something about errors, but Idk how to copy and paste text from a tty to paste it here :D
[23:36] <yofel> use pastebinit
[23:36] <yofel> !pastebinit
[23:37] <Chardot> :O
[23:38] <jozefk> it looks good. it was simple to disable desktop effects
[23:38] <jozefk> but stingi I didn't find in settings how to disable. only nepomuk is there
[23:40] <Chardot> http://pastebin.comRAryFb2J
[23:40] <Chardot> yofel: ---^
[23:40] <jozefk> it's strigi not stingi lol
[23:41] <jozefk> I found it. it's disabled by default
[23:41] <Chardot> ouch
[23:41] <Chardot> http://pastebin.com/RAryFb2J
[23:41] <Chardot> :P
[23:41] <Chardot> (this thing comes with lynx or something?)
[23:43] <jozefk> what is the application manager in kubuntu? synaptic? apt-get? or something different?
[23:43] <Chardot> yofel: I could try creating a new user (but I don't remember how to do that..)
[23:44] <Chardot> however, it would be the ugliest solution. I prefer to reinstall the whole system.
[23:44] <yofel> jozefk: kpackagekit by default, if you need something more advanced install muon
[23:44] <jozefk> how about cli?
[23:45] <jozefk> not available?
[23:45] <jozefk> only gui app manager?
[23:45] <yofel> sure, apt-get
[23:45] <Chardot> (it would be great to know how to install the propietary video drivers from a tty :|
[23:45] <jozefk> ok that's fine :)
[23:48] <Chardot> ok, guys.. I'm going to re-install it. Thanks for your help, yofel!
[23:48] <yofel> meh, he's gone...
[23:50] <jozefk> what's the command to run kate as root from terminal?
[23:50] <James147> jozefk: kdesudo kate [path/to/file]
[23:51] <James147> (the path is optional)
[23:51] <jozefk> thanks. it works
[23:53] <jozefk> fonts in terminal looks a little bit ugly
[23:53] <jozefk> dtrange resolution
[23:53] <jozefk> strange
[23:55] <jozefk> anyway at least it workd
[23:55] <jozefk> works*
