| drock_ | Can anyone help me diagnose a sound issue? I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 and have firefox installed. The videos play but no sound. | 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| boudiccas | drock_, have you checked the speakers are plugged in okay? | 00:36 |
| drock_ | Yes. It works for everything else. I have all my sound settings set to the same source. I'm playing music right now. | 00:37 |
| drock_ | What's also strange is that it used to work and now it doesn't. I also can't play sound on any local videos from my hard drive recently. Older ones I still can. | 00:39 |
| boudiccas | drock_, lets see if i understood you - you can play sound outisde of firefox but not within it? | 00:42 |
| drock_ | Yes. Amarok plays sound. Dragon Player plays sound on some things. | 00:43 |
| boudiccas | drock_, have you got any ff extension which affects the sound? | 00:44 |
| boudiccas | i don tknow what 'dragon player ' is? | 00:44 |
| drock_ | It's a movie player that came with my install of Kubuntu | 00:45 |
| drock_ | My firefox extensions are adblock Plus, Flash Aid, gTranslate, NoScript and Beef Taco | 00:46 |
| boudiccas | drock_, try dissabling flash aid and then try to get soundd in ff again | 00:49 |
| drock_ | No change. | 00:52 |
| boudiccas | i dont know then, sorry | 00:52 |
| drock_ | thanks for the attempt | 01:02 |

| mole_ | nah nah... i switched to ubuntu because gentoo was lagging behind | 05:44 |

| === Gurke is now known as Guest10516 | ||
| mase_wk | MK``: good question....i guess you could apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall | 07:57 |
| mase_wk | i think that should work and it shouldn't remove anything | 07:58 |
| mase_wk | actually | 07:58 |
| mase_wk | that's probably overkill | 07:58 |
| mase_wk | i am sure you can just dpkg-reconfigure something | 07:59 |
| mase_wk | but i don't specifically know which package you would need to do that to | 07:59 |
| MK`` | I installed xubuntu as well... it shows the Kubuntu splash screen, takes me to the Xubuntu login screen, then logs me into Ubuntu; made my day seeing that this morning | 08:00 |
| valorie | isn't the splash controlled by Plymouth? | 08:04 |
| valorie | I know that you can use systemsettings to change it in Kub. | 08:05 |
| valorie | but in general *buntu, it's called Plymouth | 08:05 |
| valorie | as I recall | 08:05 |
| valorie | !plymouth | 08:05 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 08:05 |

| Peace- | Ash_: which problem do you have ? | 10:11 |
| Peace- | haakonn: screenshot please | 10:11 |

| BluesKaj | c-c-m, only if you add ubuntu-desktop | 15:27 |
| c-c-m | hum... I don't think I want to do this :S | 15:28 |
| c-c-m | do you know if there's any alternative to it? | 15:28 |
| c-c-m | to unity, I mean | 15:28 |
| c-c-m | unity + zeitgeist | 15:28 |
| MaximLevitsky | c-c-m: trust me, you aren't missing unity | 15:29 |
| James147_ | c-c-m: unity is just another desktop enviroment ^^ you can install it alongside kde in kubuntu just like you can isntall gnome or any other de along side kde in kubuntu or ubuntu or any other linux distro :) | 15:29 |
| c-c-m | what about zeitgeist? | 15:29 |
| MaximLevitsky | c-c-m: but in a sense sure you can use it in kubuntu | 15:29 |
| MaximLevitsky | its just a compiz plugin | 15:29 |
| c-c-m | I see | 15:29 |
| MaximLevitsky | but for a start it disables the cube | 15:29 |
| James147_ | ^^ though I dont know if its been packaged for 10.10 ^^ if you install ubntu-desktop in 11.04 that should install unity alongside kde in kubuntu | 15:29 |
| MaximLevitsky | yep, in 10.10 unity is actually mutter aka gnome-shell plugin | 15:30 |
| MaximLevitsky | but trust me unity is the ****censored**** ***censored**** of ***censored**** | 15:30 |
| BluesKaj | there are alot of complaints about unity ...personally i don'y see thje point of it ...just another pretty face :) | 15:30 |
| c-c-m | but I read that zeitgeist could be a great companion to nepomuk | 15:31 |

| factoryTales | 3G network not getting configured in Kubuntu 10.04 | 17:24 |

| sre-su | You want me to log in on CLI and continue from irssi | 17:57 |
| Daskreech | can you logout then run mv ~/.kde ~/kdebkup then start kdm and login | 17:57 |
| sre-su | James147_: Yes, it works. Login works right but the logout from it doesn't work | 17:57 |
| sre-su | Daskreech: Ok | 17:57 |
| sre-su | Daskreech: What's ~/kdebkup ? | 17:58 |
| James147_ | sre-su: a folder named ~/kdebkup ^^ that after you run that command will contains the contents of ~/.kde | 17:59 |
| sre-su | ok | 17:59 |
| sre-su | hold on | 17:59 |
| James147_ | sre-su: its to reset kde settings without actually losing anything, | 17:59 |
| sre-su | Daskreech: I did mv ~/.kde ~/kebkup. sudo start kdm and got the login screen. Tried to login but failed in the similar way. On irssi now | 18:03 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: ok well you can mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde then | 18:04 |
| sre-su | Daskreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/596121/ | 18:04 |
| sre-su | xsession-errors now | 18:04 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: what's the session setto on KDM? | 18:05 |
| sre-su | restore previous session | 18:05 |
| sre-su | Was that paste useful? | 18:05 |
| sre-su | Or shoould I mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde? | 18:06 |
| sre-su | James147_: (You missed this) I did mv ~/.kde ~/kebkup. sudo start kdm and got the login screen. Tried to login but failed in the similar way. On irssi now | 18:07 |
| sre-su | ?? | 18:09 |
| sre-su | James147_: Daskreech: Hey! I lost my desktop settings rather KDE settings after moving back! | 18:13 |
| sre-su | mv ~/.kde ~/kdebkup | 18:13 |
| sre-su | mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde | 18:13 |
| sre-su | And then I've desktop at default, Amarok as default... Why? | 18:13 |
| James147_ | sre-su: you run that last while you where loged in? | 18:15 |
| sre-su | Daskreech told to run mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde when i was in irssi. I was logged in cli for the same user | 18:16 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: so you moved that and lost your settings? | 18:17 |
| sre-su | Yes | 18:17 |
| sre-su | It went back to default | 18:17 |
| sre-su | I want to get those settings back | 18:18 |
| sre-su | Is that possible, Daskreech?? | 18:18 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: You logged in with startx ? | 18:18 |
| sre-su | Or what do you suggest now? | 18:18 |
| sre-su | Yes | 18:18 |
| James147_ | sre-su: do you still have a ~/kdebkup folder? if not do you have a ~/.kde/kdebkup folder? | 18:18 |
| sre-su | James147_: Yes, i have ~/.kde/kdebkup folder | 18:19 |
| Daskreech | James147_: >_< | 18:19 |
| Daskreech | WHoops :-D | 18:19 |
| sre-su | Now what??? | 18:19 |
| sre-su | I don't want to lose those settings | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | hey James147_ , Daskreech | 18:20 |
| sre-su | 18:20 | |
| James147_ | grr.. stupid connection | 18:22 |
| sre-su | Daskreech? | 18:22 |
| James147_ | ^^ missed everything since my last statement again :( | 18:22 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: oh sorry thought that James147_ would walk you through that | 18:22 |
| James147_ | i dont know ^^ i have missed half the conversation :p | 18:23 |
| sre-su | Daskreech: Atleast help me get the old settings back... Do I have to mv back to ~/.kde/kdebkup? | 18:23 |
| Daskreech | mv ~/.kde/kdebkup && mv ~/.kde ~/kdefresh && mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde | 18:23 |
| Daskreech | wait | 18:24 |
| sre-su | now? | 18:24 |
| Daskreech | mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~ && mv ~/.kde ~/kdefresh && mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde | 18:24 |
| Daskreech | That shoudl work | 18:24 |
| James147_ | ok, all your settings should be in ~/.kde/kdebkup, i would move them back to ~/kdebkup with "mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~/kdebkup" | 18:24 |
| sre-su | I'm GUI with the same user | 18:24 |
| sre-su | So, now in terminal when I'm logged in? | 18:24 |
| James147_ | ^^ then to restore the setings do "cp -r ~/kdebkup ~/.kde" | 18:24 |
| sre-su | Ah, multiple suggestions | 18:25 |
| James147_ | useing cp to restore is preferable as it means you ahve the orignal backups incase something goes wrong in restoration | 18:25 |
| * James147_ takes this time to note that mv behaves weird ^^ in that if the destination folder exists then the source files/folders are moved into it rather then replaceing it | 18:26 | |
| sre-su | So, which command should I actually follow? | 18:27 |
| James147_ | sre-su: first "mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~" to move the backup to its orignal location | 18:28 |
| sre-su | Now in GUI brought up startx? | 18:28 |
| sre-su | up by* | 18:28 |
| James147_ | sre-su: generally best to logout of kde first :) | 18:28 |
| James147_ | ^^ though that one wont matter | 18:28 |
| sre-su | Yeah, hold on. I'll login to irssi | 18:29 |
| James147_ | ^^ but when restorin the settings you should logout first | 18:29 |
| sre-su | when in cli | 18:29 |
| sre-su | back | 18:30 |
| James147_ | ok, have you moved the backup back to ~/kdebkup? | 18:31 |
| sre-su | No, please start back | 18:31 |
| sre-su | from that first command | 18:31 |
| James147_ | ok, i assume ~/.kde/kdebkup still exists... "mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~" | 18:31 |
| sre-su | ok | 18:32 |
| James147_ | that should create a folder ~/kdebkup with the contents of your orignal ~/.kde folder | 18:32 |
| sre-su | yes | 18:32 |
| sre-su | wait | 18:32 |
| sre-su | Done | 18:33 |
| James147_ | then mv the new .kde folder out the way with "mv ~/.kde ~/kdenew" -- taht will move .kde to kdenew... you should no longer have a .kde folder | 18:33 |
| sre-su | I can see kdebkup folder in ~ | 18:33 |
| sre-su | /kdenew? | 18:34 |
| James147_ | ^^ the name dosnt matter as long as the folder dosnt already exist | 18:34 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: ~ | 18:34 |
| sre-su | Ah, why creating /kdenew for /.kde? | 18:34 |
| Daskreech | ~/kdenew | 18:34 |
| sre-su | yeah | 18:34 |
| sre-su | Why creating /kdenew for /.kde? | 18:34 |
| James147_ | (though /kdenew will cause a premission error since you cant write to root ) | 18:34 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: You are backing up the new KDE directory ...just in case | 18:34 |
| James147_ | sre-su: just in case :) dont want to lose anything till your sure | 18:35 |
| hsr | Yeah, sorry | 18:36 |
| James147_ | ^^ | 18:36 |

| sre-su_ | I didn't identify myself with NickServ that's why | 18:37 |
| sre-su_ | We are moving it and not taking bakup | 18:37 |
| sre-su_ | Does your future steps contain anything which will give .kde in /home? | 18:38 |
| Daskreech | sre-su_: yes the last step is mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde | 18:39 |
| loc0 | kde rocks | 18:39 |
| sre-su_ | Yeah, i see that | 18:39 |
| Daskreech | and it's rock solid! | 18:39 |
| James147_ | sre-su_: yes, the next step is to copy the orignal backup to ~/.kde "cp -r ~/kdebkup ~/.kde" you can use mv, but cp to keep a copy incase something goes wrong | 18:39 |
| loc0 | yeah | 18:39 |
| * Daskreech laughs maniacally | 18:39 | |
| sre-su_ | O.o | 18:40 |
| Daskreech | :) | 18:40 |
| Daskreech | sorry | 18:40 |
| sre-su_ | Nah, I'm confused | 18:41 |
| loc0 | hey i am fedora lover | 18:41 |
| sre-su_ | We are moving .kde to kdebkup and later copying back kdebkup to .kde | 18:41 |
| sre-su_ | We are moving .kde to kdenew* and later copying back kdebkup to .kde | 18:42 |
| sre-su_ | Right? | 18:42 |
| James147_ | sre-su_: overall the steps should have been, backup .kde, see if you can login, (this will likly create a .kde folder) then restore the backup by deleteing or moving the new .kde folder out the way and copying the backup back | 18:43 |
| sre-su_ | Duh | 18:43 |

| James147_ | shadeslayer: orignal problem: kdm login loop (tring to login via kdm drops you back at kdm) - what I know so far: new user works, startx on the problem user also works... but I keep dropping connecing and missing 1/2 of it :p | 18:51 |
| James147_ | shadeslayer: was in the steps of testing the problem user with a clean .kde | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | ah | 18:52 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | James147_: which release btw? | 18:52 |
| sre-su_ | Done | 18:52 |

| Daskreech | factoryTales: What is the conflict kpackagekit should be able to resolve very simple conflicts | 19:05 |
| Daskreech | sre-su: do you have a saved session when you login? | 19:06 |

| BluesKaj | tuxn, why are you going to instll that driver , doesn't the recommended driver in kmenu/applications/system/additional drivers, work? | 20:04 |
| === petete_ is now known as petete | ||
| tuxn | Last time i did the same but then xorg started eating my CPU memory.. i found some articles on google as well which states default auto updated drivers are bogus. | 20:05 |

| tuxn | what do you mean by they break? | 20:07 |
| BluesKaj | tuxn, there are some issues with cpu loads on kde4.6 but it's mostly fixed if you run dist-upgrade which will fix most , the other is to disable the nepomuk indexer in system settings /autostart/service manager | 20:09 |
| tuxn | see i want to set my default resolution to 1280x1024 can you help me with that? | 20:10 |

| topyli | the shortcuts dialog doesn't accept my lovely Menu key :( | 20:59 |
| James147_ | topyli: short answer: not easy, use the default alt+f1 ^^ or some other combanation | 21:00 |
| James147_ | (or if you want to use the keyboard, use krunner... alt+f2 bydefault) | 21:01 |
| topyli | James147_: hrm. alt+Fwhatever is too hard to do. i now have it at alt+space, which is ok | 21:01 |

| Daskreech | LogicallyDashing: what happens if you log out and back in? | 22:31 |
| NiTr0 | hi) | 22:34 |
| LogicallyDashing | Daskreech: holdon | 22:44 |
| LogicallyDashing | Daskreech: I logged out and in. The keybinding came back again. | 22:46 |
| Daskreech | LogicallyDashing: There are two places you can set that I wonder if the other one is set | 22:48 |
| LogicallyDashing | Daskreech: where is otherplace? | 22:48 |
| Daskreech | LogicallyDashing: On klipper itself check that | 22:50 |
| LogicallyDashing | Daskreech: I looked in Klipper's settings window, into Keyboard Shortcuts, and there's nothing there about activating Klipper itself | 22:51 |
| LogicallyDashing | (nor bringing up the menu) | 22:51 |
| LogicallyDashing | So yeah, I think the problem is in Plasma. That's the component of Global Keyboard Shortcuts that this shortcut is in. | 22:55 |
| blueuser | hi guys.....can anyone tell me the default password for Ubuntu 10.10 when it's ran using a flash drive? I've installed it on a 4GB flash drive. | 22:59 |
| LogicallyDashing | there isn't one | 22:59 |
| LogicallyDashing | you can rootify yourself by calling sudo with no password | 23:00 |
| blueuser | oh ok....thank you | 23:00 |
| blueuser | i will try that in a bit....thanks a lot | 23:00 |
| LogicallyDashing | yw | 23:00 |

| Daskreech | LogicallyDashing: try ask in #plasma ? | 23:10 |
| Daskreech | !root | blueuser | 23:10 |
| ubottu | blueuser: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:10 |
| blueuser | got it :) Thanks a lot! | 23:12 |
