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

I don't think I want to do this :S [15:28] do you know if there's any alternative to it? [15:28] to unity, I mean [15:28] unity + zeitgeist [15:29] c-c-m: trust me, you aren't missing unity [15:29] 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] what about zeitgeist? [15:29] c-c-m: but in a sense sure you can use it in kubuntu [15:29] its just a compiz plugin [15:29] I see [15:29] but for a start it disables the cube [15:29] ^^ 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 [15:30] yep, in 10.10 unity is actually mutter aka gnome-shell plugin [15:30] but trust me unity is the ****censored**** ***censored**** of ***censored**** [15:30] there are alot of complaints about unity ...personally i don'y see thje point of it ...just another pretty face :) [15:31] but I read that zeitgeist could be a great companion to nepomuk [15:31] well, interface is something to be taken seriously [15:32] yes, here's the link I was looking for: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/zeitgeist-coming-to-kde/ === hsr is now known as sre-su === em is now known as emma === emma is now known as em === maco2 is now known as maco === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [16:15] Hi.

A question abt setting 3G network in kubuntu 10.04 for Huawei modem E367 hspa+. Network manager not allowing to configure for type Mobile Broadband. But in 10.10 it works. [17:23] Moreover, I'm ran that command when logged in using - stop kdm and startx, Daskreech [17:23] factoryTales: whats the question? [17:24] 3G network not getting configured in Kubuntu 10.04 [17:24] factoryTales: why not use 10.10 if it works? [17:26] sre-su: how did the new user fair? [17:27] James147_: I cannot switch user, will have to logout and log back [17:27] Am already using 10.10 for that, wanted to know whats actually creating that prob [17:28] James147_: if he (assuming that sre-su is a he) logs in with KDM and it crashes out then checkes the file it's empty? [17:28] probally a bug in that version of networkmanager/ the networkmanager front end [17:30] brb [17:31] Daskreech: yeah, that what I assume [17:32] Daskreech: though he had the problem with latest kde (4.6) before reinstalling and still has the issue (with the old /home) [17:32] (after reinstalling) [17:33] James147_: tried a KDE reset? [17:33] (assuming I understood correctly) [17:33] of user setttings? that the last thing I suggested, not sure if its been done yet [17:34] (well, suggested to test a new user to be exact) [17:39] James147_: Daskreech: I tried logging with new user created. It doesn't give any issues when tyring to log in but doesn't log out completely - it stops on a black screen saying checking battery state. === usuario is now known as brian-- [17:51] sre-su: hmm sounds like some packages are problematic [17:52] you have kubuntu-desktop paxkage installed? [17:55] Daskreech: kubuntu-desktop? [17:55] sre-su: yes [17:55] Isn't that default for using Kubuntu? [17:56] kubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. [17:56] Ok good [17:56] You are logged in on the cli or in the GIU? [17:56] GUI? [17:56] GUI now [17:56] (uisng stop kdm and startx) [17:57] ok [17:57] sre-su: did you test a new user? (sorry, droped out for a min and might have missed something) [17:57] You want me to log in on CLI and continue from irssi [17:57] can you logout then run mv ~/.kde ~/kdebkup then start kdm and login [17:57] James147_: Yes, it works. Login works right but the logout from it doesn't work [17:57] Daskreech: Ok [17:58] Daskreech: What's ~/kdebkup ? [17:59] sre-su: a folder named ~/kdebkup ^^ that after you run that command will contains the contents of ~/.kde [17:59] ok [17:59] hold on [17:59] sre-su: its to reset kde settings without actually losing anything, [18:03] 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 [18:04] sre-su: ok well you can mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde then [18:04] Daskreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/596121/ [18:04] xsession-errors now [18:05] sre-su: what's the session setto on KDM? [18:05] restore previous session [18:05] Was that paste useful? [18:06] Or shoould I mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde? [18:07] 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 [18:09] ?? [18:13] James147_: Daskreech: Hey! I lost my desktop settings rather KDE settings after moving back! [18:13] mv ~/.kde ~/kdebkup [18:13] mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde [18:13] And then I've desktop at default, Amarok as default... Why? [18:15] sre-su: you run that last while you where loged in? [18:16] Daskreech told to run mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde when i was in irssi. I was logged in cli for the same user [18:17] sre-su: so you moved that and lost your settings? [18:17] Yes [18:17] It went back to default [18:18] I want to get those settings back [18:18] Is that possible, Daskreech?? [18:18] sre-su: You logged in with startx ? [18:18] Or what do you suggest now? [18:18] Yes [18:18] sre-su: do you still have a ~/kdebkup folder? if not do you have a ~/.kde/kdebkup folder? [18:19] James147_: Yes, i have ~/.kde/kdebkup folder [18:19] James147_: >_< [18:19] WHoops :-D [18:19] Now what??? [18:20] I don't want to lose those settings [18:20] hey James147_ , Daskreech [18:20] [18:22] grr.. stupid connection [18:22] Daskreech? [18:22] ^^ missed everything since my last statement again :( [18:22] sre-su: oh sorry thought that James147_ would walk you through that [18:23] i dont know ^^ i have missed half the conversation :p [18:23] Daskreech: Atleast help me get the old settings back... Do I have to mv back to ~/.kde/kdebkup? [18:23] mv ~/.kde/kdebkup && mv ~/.kde ~/kdefresh && mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde [18:24] wait [18:24] now? [18:24] mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~ && mv ~/.kde ~/kdefresh && mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde [18:24] That shoudl work [18:24] ok, all your settings should be in ~/.kde/kdebkup, i would move them back to ~/kdebkup with "mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~/kdebkup" [18:24] I'm GUI with the same user [18:24] So, now in terminal when I'm logged in? [18:24] ^^ then to restore the setings do "cp -r ~/kdebkup ~/.kde" [18:25] Ah, multiple suggestions [18:25] useing cp to restore is preferable as it means you ahve the orignal backups incase something goes wrong in restoration [18:26] * 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 [18:27] So, which command should I actually follow? [18:28] sre-su: first "mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~" to move the backup to its orignal location [18:28] Now in GUI brought up startx? [18:28] up by* [18:28] sre-su: generally best to logout of kde first :) [18:28] ^^ though that one wont matter [18:29] Yeah, hold on. I'll login to irssi [18:29] ^^ but when restorin the settings you should logout first [18:29] when in cli [18:30] back [18:31] ok, have you moved the backup back to ~/kdebkup? [18:31] No, please start back [18:31] from that first command [18:31] ok, i assume ~/.kde/kdebkup still exists... "mv ~/.kde/kdebkup ~" [18:32] ok [18:32] that should create a folder ~/kdebkup with the contents of your orignal ~/.kde folder [18:32] yes [18:32] wait [18:33] Done [18:33] 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] I can see kdebkup folder in ~ [18:34] /kdenew? [18:34] ^^ the name dosnt matter as long as the folder dosnt already exist [18:34] sre-su: ~ [18:34] Ah, why creating /kdenew for /.kde? [18:34] ~/kdenew [18:34] yeah [18:34] Why creating /kdenew for /.kde? [18:34] (though /kdenew will cause a premission error since you cant write to root ) [18:34] sre-su: You are backing up the new KDE directory ...just in case [18:35] sre-su: just in case :) dont want to lose anything till your sure [18:36] Yeah, sorry [18:36] ^^ [18:36] hsr: Me too === hsr is now known as sre-su_ [18:36] :) [18:37] I didn't identify myself with NickServ that's why [18:37] We are moving it and not taking bakup [18:38] Does your future steps contain anything which will give .kde in /home? [18:39] sre-su_: yes the last step is mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde [18:39] kde rocks [18:39] Yeah, i see that [18:39] and it's rock solid! [18:39] 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] yeah [18:39] * Daskreech laughs maniacally [18:40] O.o [18:40] :) [18:40] sorry [18:41] Nah, I'm confused [18:41] hey i am fedora lover [18:41] We are moving .kde to kdebkup and later copying back kdebkup to .kde [18:42] We are moving .kde to kdenew* and later copying back kdebkup to .kde [18:42] Right? [18:43] 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] Duh === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [18:46] Daskreech: What after mv ~/.kde ~/kdenew ? === olivier___ is now known as azimut [18:48] sre-su: oh trying to login into a clean KDE desktop env? === azimut is now known as Pardon === Pardon is now known as desolant [18:49] Sorry popping question in bw. How to identify of any conflicts (iff any) while installing packages with kPackagekit [18:51] 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 [18:52] shadeslayer: was in the steps of testing the problem user with a clean .kde [18:52] ah [18:52] sre-su: mv ~/kdebkup ~/.kde [18:52] James147_: which release btw?
