darthanubiscan't seem to change the data dir without gettign a permissions error even when the permissions has been changed as per the rror00:00
aiboti installed kubuntu via wubi, it boots up fine, gets to a screen with the default kubuntu background, but nothing shows up to finish the installation.. havent seen anything in the logs that would tell why00:06
James147darthanubis: I think you need to change the open_base varible in the php.ini config00:09
aibotthe only thing i notice, is it says ECC not enabled so DRAM is disabled :/00:09
darthanubisJames147: appreciate your time, where is that file?00:10
James147 /etc/somthing/php.ini :)00:10
James147probally /etc/php/php.ini00:10
James147aibot: you rebooted the system right?00:11
James147it should be one of the options in the bootloader00:12
aibotyes I have00:12
aiboti booted into kubuntu, it goes thought he boot, then loads to just a screen with a wallpaper, no post-install setup00:12
James147aibot: there is not postinstall setup00:13
darthanubisdocumentation is close to nil00:13
darthanubisI guess it's still a work in progress00:13
darthanubishttp://owncloud.org/index.php/Configuration00:14
James147aibot: once its install its installed... you can boot and start using it00:14
aibotJames147: hmm thought there would be one, well it seems to just stop at a screen with a wallpaper nothing else00:14
James147aibot: hmm, that dosnt sound right00:14
aibotJames147: nothing in logs point to a failure besides a note about ECC not being enabled and DRAM module cannot be loaded due to it00:14
aibotJames147: ubuntu wubi worked fine, installed, booted it up and it loaded 100%... kubuntuis not doing the same00:15
James147aibot:  what version of kubuntu?00:15
aibotJames147: latest, 11.04... maybe ill need to burn as a live cd and try :/00:16
James147aibot: worth a try00:16
aibotJames147: yeah, thanks... just wounder it stange for ubuntu to work and kubuntu to not, maybe its a bug dunno, well thanks for the help :)00:17
James147darthanubis: I think your problem is with a security feature in php... from what I can tell it can only access directorys listed in open_base viraible in the php.ini file00:19
darthanubisJames147: looking into it, because when I manually create the dir, I get the message that my dir is readable from the web00:21
darthanubiswhich means nothing to me00:21
darthanubisI thought that was the idea00:21
DaxarWoo, Natty here I come.00:24
darthanubis /etc/php5/apache200:24
darthanubisJames147: open_base variable is clear00:26
James147hm00:26
James147darthanubis: dont know why its empty ...00:31

DRuserhi, I was running11.04 off of a USB thumb drive, and it the interface is so very fragile, everything got goobered, so I just restarted the computer.. but to my horror, the interface came up exactly the same as it was...  It saves it to the usb key somehow...  What file do I delete to restore my USB key to factory fresh?00:37
DRuserAlso, when trying to get my broadcom wifi running, it wanted to install linux-headers or something, and under previous versions, I was able to get my wifi up without a network connection by using stuff from pool... This appears to not be working now00:39
RVN_Hey, does anyone know why it takes so long for 11.04 to detect my usb mouse at startup?01:09
RVN_it disables my mouse at the login screen01:10
introublei have many rows in ms excel/oo worksheet containing numbers like 03004210000 , 030042510000 and so on. i can manullay scroll them and make a list of 03004210000 to 03004219999 (ten thousand each) but its very hard to do it for all. is there an automatic way?01:20

zazazao_o02:21
zazazaWell when I run libxinel-ffmpeg in the konsole it says Unable to locate package02:22
bazhangwhen you install it?02:23
zazazaWell through the konsole, but I'm trying it through the "Get and Remove Software"02:23
zazazaThis is my first day with any other OS besides Windows so sorry Lol02:23
bazhangsudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg02:24
bazhangin the konsole ^02:24
zazazaYeah when I did that it said package not found etc02:24
zazazaBut02:24
bazhangall the repos enabled?02:25
zazazaI think I was able to install from Get and Remove Software02:25
zazazaI'm not sure02:25
zazazaIdk how to enable them02:25
zazazaNow it's saying that libxinel-ffmpeg is at the latest version, but Amarok is still saying it needs the plugin.02:26
bazhangzazaza, which plugin02:27
zazaza MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3)02:27
bazhangzazaza, you completely quit and restarted amarok? not just sent to tray, but completely quit?02:27
zazazaOh02:28
zazazaDidn't realize Linux did that02:28
zazazaLet me see02:28
bazhangwell Amarok does02:28
zazazaOh is Amarok a good player by the way?02:28
zazazaOh it's working now.02:29
zazazaThanks a lot02:29
bazhangsure, its very good. there are a ton you can try (alternatives) as well02:29

bazhangzazaza, some others ^02:31
zazazaI tried getting utorrent again but I didn't understand how to install it cause it was a tar.gz file.02:33
Guest42240guys i can't upgrade to 11.04 using the update manger whenever i click on upgrade it shows me an error "failed to download release note, check your internet connection"02:33
bazhangzazaza, better to use stuff from the package manager, unless you want to personally upgrade your own packages each and every time02:33
zazazaWhat is that?02:34
zazazaLike synaptic?02:35
bazhangzazaza, things from the ubuntu software repositories (repos) and not from random websites02:35
zazazaOh... okay02:36
bazhangapt-get kpackagekit synaptic ubuntu software center etc02:36
bazhangthey do all the updating upgrading for you automatically, though it may not be the very newest version, its the most stable and tested one02:36
bazhangktorrent is fine, as is transmission and many others in that list02:37
zazazaOkay well I'll just keep Ktorrent then. And with Kpackage do I just need to search for upgrades from time to time? Or does it just auto do it?02:38
zazazaOr do I need to set it to make it do it automatically02:38
bazhangzazaza, you can set it to when you want to check, or just do it manually from time to time, really up to you02:41
=== Daxar_ is now known as Daxar
zazazaCan I just do apt-get update all02:42
bazhangwell the actual commands are sudo apt-get update  , followed by sudo apt-get upgrade02:42
zazazaoh02:43
zazazaWell if I do that every so often I'll be fine?02:43
bazhangthe first updates the package list, the second checks it and installs upgrades if available, plus security updates (new kernels and the like)02:43

spenceri was wondering if i could get some help03:36
MK``Are releases like 10.04.1, that have been superseded by 10.04.2, supported, or is only the most recent point release supported?03:37
spenceri deleted the root folder from places and was wondering if i could reset it somehow to get it back03:37
MK``Macer: LibreOffice forced from OpenOffice03:37
MK``spencer: you deleted /? is that even possible?03:37
MK``Or do you mean the shortcut to it03:37
spencerno it was just the shortcut from places03:38
MK``Ah, you can re-add it yeah, I am not running KDE right now so I do not know how, but it's possible, someone here can tell you03:38
spencerthanks03:38
spenceri tried adding it manually but when i click on it it doesn't have root priviliges03:39
spenceron the shortcut it had them03:40
MK``ah, no idea. I am still a beginner03:40
spenceryeah me too03:40
spenceri had kubuntu and ubuntu for a couple of years now03:41
MK``I got into Ubuntu like 2 months ago :P03:41
shane4ubuntu1Look out Kubuntu, influx coming your way. :)03:42
MK``heh03:43
spenceri tried something03:43
shane4ubuntu1I'm really toying with switching back over to Kubuntu, Unity is not ready for prime time, and gnome is well, going through a change, like that of kde3 > kde403:43
spencerim gonna reboot03:44
MK``I installed the kubuntu-desktop package from ubuntu myself :P03:44
shane4ubuntu1MK``: I spent about a month or two with Kubuntu before the 11.04 release, went back to gnome just before, but I'm thinking I'm going to bail ship.03:45
RVN_Anyone getting any issues with USB mouse after installing 11.04?03:45

khindenburgif I have 2 system I want to upgrade to 11.04 - can I share the downloaded files?  if so, where are they?04:03
shane4ubuntu1khindenburg: they are going to be in /var/cache/apt/?04:08
shane4ubuntu1archives is that last folder04:08
Macercan someone tell me why my console is utterly slow?04:09
Maceri can literally see it redrawing it line by line even if i disable the higher res vesa04:09
shane4ubuntu1khindenburg: you can copy them over, and it will save time on the download, use root to copy, it is more of a hack than proper procedure, there are better ways to do that, but in a pinch that works.04:09
khindenburgok emtxs found th04:09

James147tangent3: you check alsamixer to see if the volumes ahve changed?07:36
tangent3i'll check that now, but i thought i'm using alsa07:37
tangent3James147: ok found the problem, it's got the wrong input source selected07:40
tangent3thanks07:40
KeshlDo I need to do apt-get upgrade before apt-get dist-upgrade?07:41
DarthFrogKeshl: You should do "apt-get update" first.  "update" not "upgrade".07:42
KeshlDarthFrog: Did that already.07:43
James147Keshl: you shouldnt really run upgrade before dist-upgrade... if anything that willl probally break things :)07:43
DarthFrogKeshl: I have an alias set in my .bash_aliases file: alias update="sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"07:43
KeshlOh great two conflicting posts >w<'07:43
DarthFrogKeshl: No conflict.07:44
Keshl...? So, just dist-upgrade then? No upgrade?07:44
DarthFrogRight.07:44
Keshlthanks, owo.07:44
James147Keshl: just so you know: apt-get upgrade will upgrade existing packages that it finds are newer but that DONOT require other packages to be removed or installed... dist-upgrade dose the same but will isntall new packages or removed uneeded ones07:45
KeshlAh, that explains a bit.07:45
James147DarthFrog: does apt-get have full-upgrade?07:47
Zenguy_pchow can I stop my porn from appearing in .thumnnails07:48
Zenguy_pc.thumbnails07:49
KeshlZenguy_pc: Don't download porn. <.<07:49
James147^^ or at least dont prewview it :)07:49
Zenguy_pcKeshl: you're asking too much of me07:49
DarthFrogJames147: What would be the difference between dist-upgrade and full-upgrade?  Upgrade to a new release?07:49
James147Zenguy_pc: I believe, but am not certian that they are generate for the previews07:50
Zenguy_pcjust discovered gwenview.. greastest tool ever07:50
KeshlZenguy_pc: Okay, then use windows. If you're in a Linux-styule workplace, nobody would dare even boot windows. You'd be fine.07:50
James147DarthFrog: nah, just aliases... I know aptitude has them both... keeps dist-upgrade for backwards compatability07:50
KeshlZenguy_pc: Dual-boot it, obviously.07:50
Zenguy_pcon windows I disabled thumbnails but on linux it's far more useful though07:51
James147DarthFrog: bu renamed it since it makes more sence and stop people asking "But I dont want to upgrade to the new version"07:51
DarthFrogJames147: AFAIK, dist-upgrade is it.07:51
James147Zenguy_pc: try just turning off the previews... you can add a button to the toolbar to toggle them, but you cannot get around having previews without thumnils07:52
Zenguy_pcis there anyway to make .thumbnails as tmpfs07:52
James147Zenguy_pc: where are they stored? in a single folder?07:52
Zenguy_pcJames147: i think preveiws from dolphin.gwenview and gthumb all got to /home/user/.thumbnails/07:53
James147Zenguy_pc: if so then just mount that location to tmpfs07:53
Zenguy_pcJames147: I have no idea how to do that ..i don;t even know if tmpfs actually can be recvarable07:54
James147http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=105412907:55
lohiti always want to reload alsa when ever i boot into kubuntu 11.0407:55
James147just replace /tmp with the location you want in ram and the size=???m to the max size of it07:55
James147(also use kdesudo kate rather then sudo gedit) ^^07:56
Keshl(Off topic-ish: Just saying, this has got to be the second most epic support channel ever. A guy walks in, and rather than going "How do I keep these previews from showing up in .thumbnails?" he just asks straight-up about porn, and you help him like it's nothing. Epic, just epic. Love y'all. <.<)07:59
Zenguy_pcJames147: tmpfs only exists in physocal ram not swap?08:00
James147Zenguy_pc: no, it is part of the vritual memory so can be in swap08:01
James147Zenguy_pc: but if you ahve more then 2 gigs of ram you dont really need swap for most things08:01
James1472gigs or more08:01
James147havnt used swap in years without any problems08:01
Zenguy_pcJames147: i HAVE ONLY 1.5GB OF RAM08:01
Zenguy_pcsorry caps08:02
KeshlJames147: Hibernation without TOE.08:02
James147Zenguy_pc: do you use allot of heavy ram programs? do you actually use the swap space at all?08:02
James147Keshl: o yeah, and hybernations :)08:02
KeshlJames147: With TOE (Tux on Ice), it can hibernate to a file on any partition. Just to clarify. <.< Otherwise, it only hibernates to Swap.08:03
James147Keshl: though I never use that :) sleep or shutdown for me :D kde almost acts like it hibernates when you reboot anyway08:03
James147Zenguy_pc: The other option is to encrypt the swap drive ^^ then you dont really ahve to worry about wahts in it08:04
Zenguy_pcZenguy_pc: do you have a guide for that?08:06
Zenguy_pci was wondering when I type in passwords to websites does swap retain that?08:06
James147Zenguy_pc: if its stored in ram it can be stored in swap... though I doupt passwords would get a change to be swaped out... at least a well behaved program should get the password, authenticate then scrub it from memory...08:08
Zenguy_pcJames147: does truecrypt do that?08:09
James147Zenguy_pc: and you have far mroe to worry about with typing it password to websites then what gets left in swap08:09
Zenguy_pcJames147: oh ok08:10
James147Zenguy_pc: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto08:10

keithzgarghh, this old P4 is causing me nothing but problems; first it wouldn't network boot, so I had to actually burn a CD (what is this, 1999?) and now the installer isn't seeing any hard drives.08:22
bios_hello I just installed kubuntu 11.04 but the wifi is not working (its just not connecting to a protected wifi) any fix on that?08:24
bios_on unity it works fine08:26
James147bios_: wpa or wep?08:26
bios_wpa08:26
keithzgWhen you go into the settings for that network, it shows you the correct passkey?08:27
bios_yeah08:27
keithzgOdd.08:27
bios_its just trying to connect and after a while it ask for the key again08:27
bios_but its the right one I had entered serverals times08:27
keithzgWhat exactly does the dialog box asking you say?08:27
bios_just the regular "enter password" dialog with a blank input box08:28
bios_like if you connect the first time to a password-protected wifi08:28
keithzgJust trying to make sure it's not a different dialog box (since that's about the same time it'd be asking you for your password for KWallet)08:29
keithzgthat's the only thing I can think of other than an outright bug.08:30
bios_I disabled kwallet08:30
bios_: p08:30
keithzgWouldn't be surprised if that's part of the problem somehow, dunno. Can you simply run Unity's network manager instead, then?08:30
bios_btw: is the knetworkmanager working on a different basis than the gnome/unity network manager or is it more than an interface08:30
bios_I can give it a try08:31
bios_brb08:31
bios_: p08:31
keithzgThey both just talk to NetworkManager08:31
bios_thats even more crazy08:31
bios_:S08:31
keithzgbut they store the connection info on their own, I believe.08:31
keithzgYeah weird, the Kubuntu installer isn't seeing the drives but, for example, GParted spies them just fine.08:33
* keithzg should know better than to try and use the graphical installer . . . there's always SOME showstopping bug08:34
spazhey, i can't get 5.1 sourround sound to work. I've tried fiddling with a lot of settings, and nothing seems to do the trick. 11.0408:40

James147spaz: System settings > multimedia > phonon> speaker setup08:42
spazJames147: those are the settings I've bene messing with08:42
bios_just a few other questions, is it possible to make a global hotkey for starting a terminal? just like in gnome?08:42
keithzgbios_: Magic! . . . yeah, I dunno, NetworkManager is tempermental that way sometimes.08:42
keithzgOh definitely.08:42
keithzgSystem Setting -> Shortcuts and Gestures08:43
keithzg...although I always use Yakuake, in which case the command for terminal is just F12 ;)08:43
lohithello i installed kubuntu 11.04 ,but i want to reload alsa every time when i boot the system ,to make the headphone jack to work please help me out08:43
James147bios_: right click kmenu > edit menu > findthe app you want > advanced...08:44
* keithzg doesn't know how he'd live, if he had to use the Terminal with anything other than Yakuake.08:44
bios_awesome thx : p08:45
bios_thx to unity that i had a look again on kde its quite fast these days : p08:47
James147keithzg: :D why not ? I find the terminal far nicer when you ahve lots of windows everywhere :D08:47
spazJames147: and now, i don't know what i've done that I haven't undone, but I don't have any sound at all08:51
spazwhich is even worse than suffering a downgrade from 5.1 to 2.008:51
spazactually, it may have been 2.1, but still...08:52
James147spaz: logout and back in... I found the settings to be a bit temprmental sometimes08:52

bigbrovarI had this doing the development circle, but a work around (which involves compiling from source) fixed it. But with the release of Kubuntu 11.04 it seems the bug is back08:56
James147Spaz_Dynamic: yes08:56

bigbrovarfirst of all tell me ur exact wireless card10:10
bigbrovarin any case here is the deal10:10
bigbrovarbroadcom released their wireless driver as open source a while back10:11
bigbrovarthat released was included in the kernel (afaik) but the particular driver is buggy and its the cus of the freeze10:11
c2tarunbigbrovar: how can I tell you my exact wireless card, If i'll switch on my wifi it'll freeze the system10:12
bigbrovarbefore natty most broadcom drivers relied on the closed source binary only driver10:12
bigbrovarc2tarun: calm down dude just trynna help10:13
bigbrovarcalm here too with my own issues :)10:13
bigbrovaranyway the trick is to blacklist the open source driver module from loading10:13
c2tarunbigbrovar: sorry :)10:13
bigbrovarand to do this u have to edit this file10:13

James147yofel: can you not set it in /etc/default/grub?10:50
yofelit was the resolution the ubuntu devs came up so we don't have to use their violet grub background10:51
yofelwell, it's a theming thing, so they thought bundling it with plymouth was better...10:51
James147hmm10:51
yofeldoesn't really help in making it configurable though10:52
yofelwell, at least the grub background isn't aubergine anymore for us though10:52

iDanielSanhey guys10:54
iDanielSanstupid question, does anyone know how to set restore point on Kubuntu 10.04?10:56
c2taruniDanielSan: I dont think you can set restore point. but you can create backup10:57
James147restore points? Think that depends on teh filesystem your using10:57
c2tarunbigbrovar: I just rebooted my system and now my network-manager is not detecting any wifi connection :( though it is not freezing system :)10:58
* James147 thinkgs lvm can set restore points ^^ but dosnt think kubuntu default will10:58
yofelwell, btrfs will have snapshotting from a FS point in the future, but in 10.04 I think you need LVM10:58
bigbrovarc2tarun: did u remember to add lw to /etc/modules?10:59
c2tarunbigbrovar:10:59
c2tarunyup10:59
bigbrovarcan u check with the additional drivers?10:59
iDanielSani mean my intension is to upgrade my System from 10.04 to 11.04. the system is very customized so im a lil afraid of this step, so anything like a restorepoint would be nice10:59
bigbrovaru might have to install the linux kernel headers too10:59
c2tarunbigbrovar: how?11:00
c2tarunand I just checked by ctrl+esc and Xorg is eating 20% of my cpu11:00
bigbrovarc2tarun: apt-get install linux-headers-generic11:00
James147iDanielSan: full system backup is the best11:01
bigbrovarand also dkms11:01
iDanielSanThank you James14711:01
c2tarunbigbrovar: both are already installed11:01
bigbrovarhmm11:01
iDanielSando recommend any SW for a full backup?11:02
bigbrovarc2tarun: check the additional driver again to be sure its still has ur broadcom driver enabled11:02
iDanielSanor just do it manually?11:02
c2taruniDanielSan: http://www.tricksfind.in/2011/04/hello-friends-i-have-been-testing.html11:02
iDanielSanthx guys11:03
c2tarunbigbrovar: its enabled.11:03
iDanielSanwell it's kinda weird that Kubuntu can't do restorepointsdon't u think?11:04
bigbrovarand ur wireless hardware button is on? hmmm11:04
c2tarunbigbrovar: yup, its on. system is getting slower and slower :( Xorg is taking 20% cpu. What is it?11:04
bigbrovarc2tarun: can u do a ifconfig to see if the wireless interface is detected bu the system11:04
iDanielSani mean as much as i like this OS. but this should be basic functions11:05
yofeliDanielSan: that's something that will be there in the future once the btrfs filesystem isn't experimental anymore. But for now you would need a LVM setup which can be tricky to manage11:05
c2tarunbigbrovar: yup its detected http://paste.ubuntu.com/601252/11:06
yofelyou can setup LVM using the alternate installer though11:06

kaiyinis it possible to run kubuntu without kdm?11:59
James147yes12:00
kaiyinJames147: how?12:00
James147kaiyin: whats your end goal? there are multiple ways to do it12:00
kaiyini once removed kdm and the system just can't start.12:00
kaiyinJames147: i just want the system to be minimal.12:01
James147then there are far more things to consider removing before kdm12:01
kaiyinJames147: what things?12:02
James147kubuntu was never designed to be a minimlistic distro... you may want to consider a distro you have to build up rather then tair down12:02
kaiyinyou mean xubuntu?12:03
James147kaiyin: kdm here is only using 372k of memory... barly worth a notice ^^12:04
James147kaiyin: no, i mean somehing like arch... where you only install what you want12:04
kaiyinokay.12:04
James147kaiyin: rather then starting with a fully featured distro and trying to remove the bits you dont want, you just install the bits you do12:04
James147kaiyin: though they tend to come at the price of you need to pay more atention in configureing and setting them up they are better at creating a system the way you want it12:05
tdnJames147, but the hint text says that lock screen on resume is for when it is resuming from suspend. This is not the case. I am not suspending/resuming.12:06
James147but other then that, I wouldnt worry to much about removing stuff ^^ disabling stuff maby... but there is not much need to remove it12:06
kaiyinJames147: okay. now i have removed kdm, and the system won't start, how can i get it back?12:06
James147tdn: one of the triggers in the profile can is to lock the screen on lid closed12:07
tdnJames147, done.12:07
James147kaiyin: reintsall it (or better et reinstall kubuntu-desktop ^^ should pull all packages needed by default)12:07
James147kaiyin: and wont start at all, or drops you to a command line infterface?12:08
tdnJames147, this is really not intuitive. Bad usability.12:08
kaiyinJames147:  gives me a the starting screen of kubuntu12:08
James147tdn: then come up with a better design that is just as flexable12:09
James147tdn: the design has improved rapidly over the past few releases12:09
kaiyinJames147: i tried holding down the shift key and bring the grub menu up, then selecet recovery mode, but that only present another menu, which is unselectable.12:14
James147even with the arrow keys?12:14
kaiyinJames147: no. if i press the arrow key, it will boot into x, in vain, with a dead screen.12:15
James147kaiyin: does the normal boot just end at the starting screen? it dose not drop you into a shell?12:15
kaiyinJames147: no.12:15
wols_at was point does it end then?12:16
wols_what's on screen?12:16
kaiyinwols_: kubuntu logo.12:16
wols_press ctrl+alt+f1 then12:16
kaiyinwols_: wow, why didn't that occur to me? thank you!12:17
James147kaiyin: in the recovery mode did you pick the "netroot - drop to root shll promt with networking..." option?12:17
James147^^ or that :)12:18
kaiyinJames147: it didn't give me the opportunity to do that. once i touch the arrow key, the machine went dead.12:18
tdnJames147, simple, have a checkbox saying: Lock screen when AC power is unplugged? Yes/No.12:18
James147hmm12:18
kaiyinanyway, i guess the recovery mode of 11.04 may have some problem with it.12:18
James147it locks when the cable is unpluged? didnt think it did that :s and dont see a use case for it12:18
tdnJames147, the confusing part is that right now, the user must check something that is described as something entirely different -- lock screen on *resume*.12:19
tdnJames147, it does. And it is extremely annoying.12:19
James147tdn: then I think somethings wrong there ...12:20
James147tdn: sorry, miss understood your problem :)12:20
tdnJames147, ok.12:20
tdnJames147, one thing is that it is difficult to disable this feature -- another is that I think this should be disabled by default.12:21
James147tdn: try resettings the power settings by moving/renaming or deleteing ~/.kde/share/config/powerdevil*12:21
James147tdn: it is disable by default12:22
tdnJames147, ok, I will have to try this later. I cannot logout/in right now.12:22
James147tdn: normally12:22
tdnJames147, well, I have not done anything to enable it.12:22
James147tdn: some times errors happen :S normally on upgrades when the settings layout changes... its hard to debug and fix unfortinuatly12:22
tdnThat sucks. It should be possible to reuse one's .kde folder between versions.12:23
James147tdn: and its difficult to disable because its not an intended feature as locking on power unpluged is not a very useful feature12:23
James147tdn: it normally is12:23
James147tdn: problem is there are sooo many options and sooo many different configureations that developers dont have the time to check them all to make sure they will all work12:24
James147tdn: keep in mind that you paied nothing for this software and most of the developers are volenteres with other jobs ^^12:25
tdnJames147, they dont have to. Each project/app should just make sure that their configuration format is compatible between versions. This should not be too hard as other platforms do this very well. It just requires some planning.12:25
tdnJames147, sure, the software is free (however, I contribute regularly with bug reports/fixes and patches), but that is not a reason to have poor usability. It should be in the interest of every software project to have great usability. And users (like myself) should be encouraged to give feedback/critique.12:27
James147tdn: sometimes thats easier said then done ^^ and what other platform dose it on the scale kde dose?12:27
tdnJames147, Mac OS X12:27
tdnJames147, I have also not experienced similar problems on Ubuntu (Gnome). However, I do not use Ubuntu/Gnome very much.12:28
James147tdn: and they have huges amount of money for it ^^ and gnome has no where near as many options or is as flexable as kde12:29
tdnLike I said, this is not too hard a thing to do. It just requires planning and well thought out design.12:30
tdnJames147, when implementing configuration.12:30
James147tdn: I think the main problem is kde is/was changing so much between releases... and with only 6 mounths between them... other projects like gnome havent been changing that much... at least not till recently and so havnt suffered this12:35

shane4ubuntuI looked for the option to choose the desktop, but didn't see any.13:04
James147shane4ubuntu: but which session? did you pick gnome or kde?13:04
James147shane4ubuntu: there should be one on kdm13:04
shane4ubunturight, I thought before I was able to choose, but this time I didn't see one.13:04
yofelshane4ubuntu: you need to enter your login name, or the session button does nothing13:05
yofel(very unintuitive, I know)13:05
shane4ubuntuI put my name and looked, but maybe I didn't give it enough time.13:06
shane4ubuntuit is almost habit, to login without second thought.13:06
James147shane4ubuntu: should be somehting like this: http://imagebin.org/15097613:07
shane4ubuntuJames147: ahh, thanks!!!  I saw the blue arrow, but was looking at the bottom of the screen for the options13:08
shane4ubuntuwas it on the bottom of the screen before?13:08

Whoumm guys i am having a problem  with 5.1 srround sound in kubuntu13:32
Whoi have realtek ALC 88813:33
SentynelHi guys, weird glitch with window focus since the 11.04 update. When the machine first starts, left clicking doesn't alter focus (clicks are registered in whichever window has focus, not whichever is under the cursor). Right clicking on the desktop a couple of times resets it and focus follows left clicks correctly. If the machine is then left untouched for a few hours, the problem returns, but right clicking only provides a fix for a single fo13:33
Sentynelcus shift, then it locks again. Focus is set to follow clicks and focus stealing prevention is on medium. Any suggestions?13:33
James147Who: havent tested it on kubuntu yet, but I think someone else got it to work eventually by doing thig: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Surround_sound_systems and various attempts of resetting pulse and loging in and out13:35

zCROSSBONESzMornin Glories!! Yesterday I stopped by tryin to get help getting my wireless workin in 11.04 (SOLVED) Found this wiki that did the trick, Pass it on:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=174214713:53
LhademmorHey, I'm a bit confused about wiki's. I see that Kubuntu has it's own wiki. If I want to help write documentation for Kubuntu, should it be done on wiki.kubuntu.org or help.ubuntu.com ?13:54
zCROSSBONESz<Lhademmor> if talikin to me i'm not sure of that....13:55
James147Lhademmor: depends, if it works on boht kubuntu and ubuntu then I would do it on help.ubuntu.com ^^ but if its focused on kde then do it on the kubuntu wiki13:55
zCROSSBONESzmakes sense to me...13:56
LhademmorJames147, won't that fragment the documentation? People won't know where to look for help?13:56
James147Lhademmor: kuubntu users tend to look at both places... since allot of the ubuntu guides also work for kubuntu13:56
yofelnote: wiki.kubuntu.org is a alias to wiki.ubuntu.com, just uses a different default theme, so not really. help.ubuntu.com if for somewhat official documentation for ubuntu13:57
zCROSSBONESzcase in point..... my above comment was foud on ubuntu for kubuntu install13:57
James147espically if its for a generic issue thats not kde spicific13:57

Whowell i tried to do it with 1 GB stick , now i am encountereing many issues wit both my systems (where i used it to install kubuntu 11.04)14:33
Whoso i am trying to pin point the cause14:33
James147Who: the cd is 700mb ^^ so the pendrive needs to be bigger then that :) 1gig is and is fine14:33
James147Who: I would suggest useing usb-creator (preinstalled on kubuntu) it seems to ahve greater sucess on uubntu disks14:34
WhoJames147:  i see , well let me try that , if it works for me i guess i will write it in some FAQ or document so if anybody has the same problem in the futue they can easily find the reason14:35
ubuntuhi guys , I'm running Kubuntu 11.04 live, one thing about amarok, why there is not a default bar to control the music !?!, I mean..., do you think it's not necessary as a default tool on amarok !?!, so a new user has to find where activate it , and probablly he will use something else instead !?!...., I cannot really understand .....14:49
James147ubuntu: possibally a bug14:51
Sentynelubuntu: it's a bug, it's fixed in the next release14:51
Sentynelin the meantime select a toolbar from view14:51
ubuntureally bad bug for a new user .....14:51
ubuntuyeah I know that , but just because I'm a user of kubuntu since few year ....14:52
James147ubuntu: unfortunately bugs happen ^^ if they have more willing testers then less will get though to the final release14:53
ubuntuI know James147 ...I know ...., but this kind of bug I think can be avoid , and would be really important ....14:54
Sentynelubuntu: it wasn't detected because it only affects new users and there are, apparently, very few testers who do a clean install14:55
ubuntuI can already imagine the new user sayng amarok !?!, this horrible things without even a control bar ....., they don't know about the bug ...14:55
Sentynelas I say a fix will be in the next release, there's not really much more we can do14:56
James147Sentynel: that is, tseters that tested a clean profile and didnt update and tested amarok ^^14:56
ubuntuyeah sure Sentynel don't worry , I really understant , and I have to thenks all the developer for the great job they did ....14:56
ubuntubut you know , I really love Kubuntu and I always suggest it , so I know very well  what the new user will says .... :D14:57
James147ubuntu: unfortunately there is not much that can be done now that its been released.. the iso wont change now14:58
ubuntuops sorry ,I wrote in a mixed language....:D14:59
shane4ubuntuJames147: do you recall the package name I had to install before to get the nice conversion app for the alt-f2 thing, sorry I don' t know the name of it, is it kipi?14:59
ubuntuit would be possible with a quick update !?!14:59
James147Once an iso is release it wont be updated until the next version...15:00
ubuntuI mean I already can see 2 update here from the live ...., maybe one more for amarok would be good ....15:01
James147ubuntu: probally unless something is horribally broken... otherwise there would be a new version everytime a bug was fixed15:01
Sentynelwhen the new version of amarok is out it'll go in the kubuntu backports ppa and hopefully main ubuntu backports15:01
ubuntuahh ok,so canbe possible just with a new version...?15:02
ubuntuI thought it was just a config problem ....15:02
James147ubuntu: user level config it will be saved in... which the installer/updator wont touch... once they open amarok there sint much that can be done15:03
James147though the problem can be fixed for people who havent yet opened amarok15:03
James147Sentynel: is it an amarok or kubuntu bug?15:03
SentynelJames147: amarok15:03
James147so not likly to get fixed in normal updates?15:04

James147(in the normal updates)?15:07
James147chance ^15:07
SentynelJames147: well, it's up to the packagers really; there's no reason they couldn't backport the relevant commit (http://quickgit.kde.org/index.php?p=amarok.git&a=commit&h=e1aa6497ec25ac80df9c646828e6295b39ca5ee4) but it's outside our control15:08

simion314hi all,on KDE startup that sound is distorted, sounds bad, can i fix this isue or maybe i should turn it off15:32
reisisimion314: system settings is the way; perhaps if you can change the backend it might help.. sounds like a sampling rate problem15:33
simion314kothz: hi, i do not have a wireless but we always had problems with networkmanager on KDE15:33
reisikothz: could it be that there are both (gnome and kde) networkmanagers somehow interfering? (just a wild guess)15:34
simion314reisi: thx,after boot the sound is fine so i do not want to change the backend because it works fine15:34
reisikothz: though not sure how you could get those both running at the same time15:34
kothzcould be -- there are no network interfaces listed on the kubuntu network manager15:35

James147yofel: wonder why it uses more resources then the indxer then :S15:47
yofelno idea, I know there are several nepomuk/virtuoso resource bugs open on bugs.kde.org15:48
* BluesKaj wonders if ppl with no databases even bother with nepomuk , or should they15:49
yofel*shrug*, I once had strigi enabled, so my virtuoso DB is 3GB now, so I'm not too surprised if it needs a long time to manage that15:50
yofelnow I've disabled nepomuk completely, much more quiet, except the warning after login15:50
simion314BluesKaj: i think that some apps from kde pim depend on nepomuk so you can;t run them without it15:50
yofelsimion314: that's akonadi, not nepomuk15:50
* BluesKaj wonders what the difference is ..doesn't user either of them:)15:51

kaddihi, i'm trying to revive an old install on a laptop... It was working a week ago, it has issues with the bios battery so I get frequent complaints of mismatching timestamps (not now though). It boots right into recovery console and when I do a startx in there, I get mktemp: failed to create file via template '/tmp/serverauth.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX': read-only file system15:57
kaddiso it seems to me that i'm looking at a permission issue, however I don't know how to resolve it.. any tips?15:57
simion314kaddi: try to google that error message, and maybe as in #ubuntu16:05
kaddii asked in ubuntu, lets see if someone will answer16:12
ekshellos!16:12
eksi just tried booting both the dvd and cd from 11.04 from a usb disk and i get a wall of text when it's starting16:13
eksreally a wall of text, not even new lines16:13
eksany ideas of what it might be?16:13
kaddii don't, i haven't tried 11.04 yet.. i'm fixing up an old pc atm16:14
eksafter a while, it says it tries to write in cp stat /root/var/cache/debconfig/config.dat and others but it says it doesn't exists16:15
eksit's the same error with both the cd and dvd16:15
eksat least it looks so...16:15
eksthanks kaddi16:18
eksanyone else...?16:18
kadditurns out my issue was fixed with a fsck.. it wasn't my system time that was wrong, it was the last access time that was in the future16:18
eksthe usb is formatted in fat32. thought about formating in ext2, but the docs say to use fat16/32....16:18
eksmaybe i should try unetbootin instead of usb-creator-kde...?16:19
kaddihave you checked that the iso you downloaded is complete by comparing md5?16:20
wols_kaddi: what does mount say?16:22
ekskaddi: no, nopes, but that's something i will do before the next try...16:23
kaddiit's fixed.. one of the files had a time stamp from october 2011 and ubuntu blocked access because of it. I ran a fsck, had it correct the time stamp and now it's booting like a champ16:23
wols_as for the battery issue: if you have network access, run ntpdate pool.ntp.org from sometime as early as possible in the boot process16:23
kaddialthough I would be VERY interested in finding a way of making ubuntu boot even if bios forgets the time, it is highly annoying to have to reset it all the time just to make ubuntu mount the partition16:23
kaddinope, no network access.. wireless card died years ago.. it's really just my testing pc.. so it's no biggy.. :p But yeah, the less work for me, the better ;)16:24
wols_what is the first error ubuntu gets when the time is wrong?16:24
wols_maybe you have to invest the two bucks and buy a new cmos battery...16:25
kaddii don't have it now, but it's timestamp mismatch local time 1988, latest access 2011. Run fsck from recovery console16:25
kaddisomething similar to that16:25
kaddilemme reproduce by unplugging the powerchord16:26
kaddione sek16:26
kaddiwols_: it says: mount of filesystem failed. A maintenance shell will now be started16:29
kaddicontorl/D will terminte this sherll and retry.16:29
kaddiso when you press ctrl-d it says /dev/sda7 (my /) Superblock last mount time (SAt 30. April 02:44:02 2011) now = Thu Dec 31 23:01:56 1987) is in the future. UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY16:31

ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)17:18
James147smooph: see if they suffer from the same memory leaks... if not then its probally a problem wiht a configfile in your other users directory17:18
kubuntu-userok, sorry17:18
smoophno problem just speeding up the process :D17:18

Feldegast*issue17:19
smoophFeldegast: screenshot maybe ?17:20
smoophJames147: I might try that17:20
Feldegastlets see if i can get it17:20
James147smooph: it wont hurt :) and could lead to a sollution17:20
kubuntu-userI have a problem regarding the new taskbar in kubuntu. I like to keep it thinner. When I go with mouse cursor over a minimized app in taskbar, it has to be highlighted to be clickable; for maximize to work. I don;t that that stupid highlight; I want that when I click a minimized app in taskbar to maximize it. This was not the case with kde 3.517:20
=== mren is now known as mren|off
James147kubuntu-user: on grouped apps?17:22
kubuntu-userno, with every app; if I just go with mouse coursor I don't get that point when it get ghighlighted it won't maximize17:23
kubuntu-userwithout counting how many clicks I do17:23
katsrcdo i have to specify: export CFLAGS=“-march=native” in order to get 64bit builds?17:23
kubuntu-userthe thing is that I switch apps very quickly and this highligh is driving me crazy; the only change to do a quick shift that will surely work is to use alt tab17:25
yofelkatsrc: if you build on 64bit you'll get 64bit binaries by default17:25
James147kubuntu-user: cant replicate that here17:25
katsrcyofel: great, just what i wanted to know. thanks17:25
kubuntu-usermaybe because I didn't modified taskbar;s height like i did17:25
kubuntu-usermine is thinner17:25
James147katsrc: you can try runing off the hilight and taskbar thumbnails in desktop effects17:25
kubuntu-userI don;t have any desktop effects enabled; I do a lot of cpu intensive stuff, i don;t use them.17:26
smoophIm not sure this is what he means but when click a minimized windows ... you have to click once to select and 2nd time to maximize17:26
James147kubuntu-user: mines on the side :p but if you think its because of a thin taskbar test it with it thicker ...17:26
kubuntu-useryou have to click it once to switch to it right away17:27
kubuntu-userI've tried to make it thicker but it's the same think. If it isn;t highlighted I'd just not bother clickt it. It won;t even notice the click :)17:28
smoophkubuntu-user: I also cannot reproduce the behavior17:28
kubuntu-userSo i guess this is a x64 behavour...17:28
smoophno ...17:28
smoophmost certainly not17:29
kubuntu-userI've tried to find that highlight but I didn't succeded so for17:29
James147kubuntu-user: dont just stright to a 64bit problem... i am on 64bit and do not see this problem17:29
kubuntu-userto turn it off17:29
James147kubuntu-user: So your saying it has the same problem if ou make the panel thicker>17:29
kubuntu-useryes. it;s the same thing17:30
James147then I suggest you create a new user and see if the have the smae problem17:30
James147if not then its a problem with your configs17:30
* Feldegast has noticed issues in kde when trying to re-size windows, i can maximise them but trying to adjust them using the window borders doesn work17:30
xytis_Hi again. I can't make a decent screenshot.17:30
kubuntu-userIt's like the focus on app on askbar it;s somewhere in the up area. When I move the cursor on minimized app, I move it on the center of it, not on the upper edge on that app where it gets highlighted17:31
xytis_since all my panels have auto hide17:31
kubuntu-userok, I'll give it a go with that approad of 2nd user17:31
Feldegastxytis_ can you disable auto hide to make the screenshot?17:31
kubuntu-userI'll come back againg to report17:31
xytis_no17:31
xytis_i cant hit the bloody button =]17:31
smoophxytis_: kscreenshot has a function to make a screenshot in a number of seconds17:31
xytis_jes17:32
xytis_*yes17:32
smoophwhich gives you time to find the panel17:32
xytis_again, you need to have a reasonable mouse =]17:32
* Feldegast just has to press print screen....17:32
xytis_Okay, i'll try to describe my problem:17:32
xytis_firstly:17:32
James147Feldegast: if you have problems with click the widow edge to resie... use alt+right click+drag to do it :017:33
xytis_when loging in, splash screen shows fine till desctop icon apears17:33
FeldegastJames147 i didn know about that, let me try17:33
James147Feldegast: I dont even bother useing the edges anymroe... its far easer to press alt and hit anywhere on the side of the app i want to adjust :)17:33
smoophFeldegast: Alt+f3 also gives you some options17:33
xytis_then either computer halts with full cpu load or splash screen mirrors and turns upside down17:34
xytis_background stays fine17:34
James147smooph: alt+f3 is slower :)17:34
xytis_if kde loads17:34
FeldegastJames147 that is not working either17:34
xytis_then everything is mirrored\fliped inside their containers17:34
smoophxytis_: We just established that we have CPU/Memory consumption issues ... have you tried killing the process ?17:35
James147Feldegast: really?17:35
xytis_that meads everything icons, menu's...17:35
xytis_can't17:35
smoophwhy ?17:35
FeldegastJames147m alt + left click lets me drag, but right click doesn move anything17:35
xytis_CPY memory consumption theory is from sound of my fans17:35
xytis_cant acces TTY#17:36
xytis_keyboard not responsive17:36
smoophdo you have a second computer /laptop ?17:36
xytis_yes17:36
smoophtry to connect via ssh ... look at "top" to find the process to kill17:36
James147Feldegast: System settings > Window behaviour > Window Behaviour > window actions...17:36
FeldegastJames147 i will try with a new user and see if i have the same issues17:36
xytis_...17:36
FeldegastJames147 checking17:36
smoophin my case it was strigi/nepomuk ...17:37
James147what is the modifierket+rightbutton set as?17:37
xytis_so IF the computer hangs on kde load, then i kill the most hungry process right?17:37
xytis_then, if it does not hang on splash screen?17:37
* James147 set up the mousewheel to change opacity as well ^^ so he can make window disapear for a few seconds if he needs to :D17:37
xytis_what then?17:37
FeldegastJames147 resize17:38
xytis_been to top in twisted inverted view, and no process was standing out of ordinary...17:38
James147Feldegast: then it should resize unless somethings gone wrong :S17:38
James147Feldegast: ^^ but still a great feature then you get use to it :)17:39
smoophxytis_: I am sorry I don't know what the issue is than ...17:39
FeldegastJames147 that was my thought too, i will try using a newly created user and then report if i still have an issue17:39

James147Feldegast: just rename/move/delete the offecnding config files18:06
James147config files are located in your home and start with a . (makes them hidden) most of kdes are located on ~/.kde/share/config/18:07
Feldegastok18:07
James147^^ its likly to be only a one or two thats the problem18:07
Feldegastremoving those are ok?18:07
Feldegastthey will be recreated with defaults once removed?18:08
James147any that are removed will be recreated... though its best to move or rename so you can restore them if you want18:08
Feldegastof course, ty18:08
James147Feldegast: Note that when your home dir is created all that happens if that stuff gets copied from /etc/skel/ and then applications create their configs when you first run them,18:09
James147Feldegast: I would start with ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc if your having problems with kwin :) plasma* for problems with plasma :)18:10

Feldegasti am now able to re-size windows ty, issue was something in kwin config18:29
Feldegastmy taskbar / system tray look like they are resizing (growing/shrinking/flashing in one area) each second, not sure what could cause this18:36
Feldegastfixed that issue by removing and re-adding the system tray18:42
Feldegast1 issue left....system tray icons that show in the top left of the screen instead of in the system tray.....18:43

Feldegasti have no flashing and i can now re-size windows, so i have all the functionality18:47

Feldegastor it got set there some how18:51

Spaz_DynamicHey, having issues getting 5.1 sound working. system settings -> multimedia -> Phonon -> speaker setup and then setting it to "analog surround 5.1 output" reports that the device failed and that it is falling back to another device. reverting settings does not reactivate the device, and neither does relogging in to my machine.18:52
Feldegastit is not a plasmoid, when i go to lock/unlock it is not visible18:52
simi__Feldegast: why using mIRC?it has some feature that is missing in other app,like konversation?18:53
Feldegastsimi yes, the scripts i have used for 10 years18:53

m0lluskafter upgrading to 11.04 my kubuntu system tries to use GNOME Unity after login.  Any ideas on how to get plasma back?  It seems like something goes wrong when kdm tries to bring up the user system, but the generated scripts are hard to understand.19:03
simi__m0llusk: if you select KDE from kdm ,kde fails to start?19:04
Feldegastm0llusk for some strange reason you need to select kde, the upgrade to 11.04 changes the default to gnome even for kubuntu (this is what i found anyway)19:05
Feldegastm0llusk once you have logged in to kde kde will be the default again19:06
m0llusknot sure what 'select KDE from kdm' means-- though there was a "saved session by type kde not valid any more ... blah blah .. default" ... how do I select ... just run it ... manpage?19:06
Feldegastm0llusk what do you have as session types in kdm?19:06

bigbrovarHi guys, is anyone also having problems with akonadi google resource on kubuntu 11.04, I keep getting invalid passwords :/20:54
bigbrovarit wont sync20:54
oryshello again ;-)21:12
tangent3hi, upgraded to 11.04, opening a video file on an external network drive now copies the entire file into /tmp before playing it. is there a way to return to the previous behaviour allowing the video player to play the file from the network?21:16
James147what video playeR?21:17
tangent3using smplayer, but i doubt it's a video player issue21:17
James147tangent3: try dragon player or kaffeine21:18
tangent3dragon player definitely doesn't play across network21:21
tangent3hmm, opening the file from smplayer now says "you can only select local files"21:22
tangent3used to work fine in 10.1021:22
ArGGu^^tangent3 you are trying to open local file?21:23
tangent3no, the video file is on an external samba share21:23
ArGGu^^tangent3 and in 10.10 you were also using kde network folder? I mean you did not mount the samba share?21:25
ffiascoAnyone able to answer an Openvpn question?21:26
ffiascoAnyway, the question is:  I have openvpn server configured and running without errors21:27
tangent3yes, in both 10.10 and 11.04, i use a kde network folder, smb://xx.xx.xx.xx/MYPORN21:27
ffiascoI have the client configured and connected to the server without errors21:27
tangent3err21:27
ffiascoI can ping both ways.  I hae push "redirect-gateway def1" in my server.conf21:27
ffiascoAnd everything else to forward all traffic through the vpn, but when I browse the web with the client21:27
ffiascoand watch with Wireshark, the client is connected directly to the web and not through the server (despite being connected and running because I see the encrypted UDP traffic between them)21:28
ArGGu^^tangent3 And in 10.10 you open it from smplayer file->open? not from dolphin?21:29
tangent3i always opened from dolphin. in 10.10 smplayer plays it no problem, in 11.04 dolphin copies it to tmp then plays it21:30
ArGGu^^because when using the kde network folder it needs first to download the file in /tmp21:30
tangent3never attempted to open from file->open in 10.10, but in 11.04 it fails to open21:30
tangent3guess i'll try vlc21:32
ArGGu^^tangent3 try just to copy the file to locally and see If smplayer plays it at all21:32
tangent3smplayer has no problem playing it locally21:33
ArGGu^^How it fails?21:33
ArGGu^^does it start smplayer?21:33
tangent3it fails when i try to file->open and select the network file21:33
tangent3selecting a local file works21:33
ArGGu^^yeah that does not work21:33
ArGGu^^but if you open it via dolphin it should work21:34
ArGGu^^I though that you can not open it via dolphin21:34
ArGGu^^opening via file->open does not work because it needs the file locally21:35
ArGGu^^other solutions is to mount the samba share21:35
ArGGu^^the you can access it like the all files would be local21:35
ArGGu^^*then21:35
tangent3hmm21:36
tangent3it seems that applications no longer have access to open samba shared files21:36
ArGGu^^they cannot because the files are not stored in the file structure21:37
tangent3they used to be able to, back in 10.1021:37
James147ArGGu^^: kde applications can access the files on the network21:37
tangent3i assume it's through smb:// kioslaves21:37
James147ArGGu^^: thats mostly the whole point of kios...21:37
ArGGu^^hmm21:38
ArGGu^^so it seems that okular works21:38
ArGGu^^ok21:38
ArGGu^^well then smplayer is not kde application?21:39
wols_ArGGu^^: never was.it uses Qt tho21:39
ArGGu^^I mean it is probably just using Qt21:39
ArGGu^^ok21:39
tangent3well kaffeine opens it file from the network21:42
tangent3*fine21:42
ArGGu^^and dragon player should work also21:42

oryshi22:06
oryssorry I am flying around, but still fighting with some issues.22:06
SIR_Tacowhat's the problem orys?22:09
oryswell22:09
orysI don't know where to start :-)22:09
SIR_Tacohaha, great22:09
orysjust installed brand new this n n22:09
oryswhat's that22:09
orysnaughty nun, let's stick to that one22:09
orysand I have no sound22:09
orysand I have no advanced features of graphics22:09
orysjust managed to mount one hard drive permanently editing fstab22:10
SIR_Tacodo you know your sound card or video card?22:10
orysbut the other one when I ask "mount" says is "fusebulk"22:10
oryswhat's that?22:10
SIR_Tacohttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=109684122:11
wols_orys: have you installed kubuntu to your harddisk?22:12
orysyeah22:12
orysbut I got two22:12
wols_to find what videocard or soundcard you have you use "lspci -v"22:13
orysaaaaa22:13
orysOK22:13
orysstop22:13
orysand I will start to do it in some order22:13
wols_to diagnose the fuseblk problem one needs the output of fdisk -l and mount22:13
orys(meanwhile, my printer does not printing ;-) )22:13
orysOk22:13
orysso right from what I started22:13
SIR_Tacomaybe a 'what is working' list would be shorter :)22:14
orysSIR_Taco: I have SB Live! and in preferences it works and test sound is playing22:14
orysbut no program is making any sounds, except that test22:14
SIR_Tacohmm22:14
oryseven if I go to speaker set up there is no sound on anyof them.22:14
SIR_TacoSBLive has been supported for over a decade, shouldn't really have any problems22:16
SIR_Tacoyou wouldn't happen to have an sound card on your motherboard/mainboard too?22:16
orysSIR_Taco: wols_: this is what lspci -v says about my card: http://poteflon.pl/paste/268722:17
orysSIR_Taco: yes I do, but it was never any problem22:17
orysI Just had to choose which one I want to use and it was playing22:17
orysI am using kubuntu for years22:17
orysand this is the worst upgrade22:17
orys(starting from that my whole system crashed and does not wanted to go even as much as to grub22:18
orysso I just ignored it and installed from scratch22:18
orysbut it's much worse outcome than the previous one I installed a few weeks ago22:18
orysthere, almost everything worked instantly as usual22:18
oryshere, OMG ;-)22:18
orysLong night ahead ;-)22:18
SIR_Tacoodd22:19
orys(but I just found some extra drivers to my graphic cards, just sucking them into system, I hope that will sort the problem) ;-)22:19
SIR_Tacohave you checked under System Settings -> Multimedia -> Phonon to make sure the correct output is at the top of the list?22:20
orysSIR_Taco: good point.22:22
orysWell, it is now ;D22:22
SIR_Tacoalso, as of 11.04 (NN), GStreamer is the preferred backend.... I had some porblems with the Xine backend before where if one application was playing audio I wouldn't get audio from any other application22:22
orysok22:23
orysI got music :-)22:23
SIR_Tacoorys: so it's working again?22:23
orysyeah ;-)22:23
SIR_Tacoexcellent22:24
orysnow it seems that my nvidia drivers are stuck in the middle of instalation :(22:24
SIR_Tacoorys: well when they complete you should be off to the races22:24
orysit's nice that everything is clickable and does everything automagically, but it would be handy to still be able to open console and see what's going on when the progress bar is just flying from left to right and back...22:25
simi__my front headphones won't work,in alsamixer headphones is grayed out, what tis this meaning?(on windows is working so harware is fine)22:25
orysok, it's ready22:26
orysbut before I reboot22:26
oryslet's come back to this fusebulk problem22:26
SIR_Tacoorys: you can't access the drive?22:27
orysSIR_Taco: I can, but I want it to be mounted automagically22:27
orysso I am not sure how to add it to fstab if it's fusebulk?22:27
orysSIR_Taco: this is what mount give me: http://poteflon.pl/paste/268822:27
SIR_Tacoorys: well that's the fun part haha22:27
orysSIR_Taco: and this is my fstab at the moment: http://poteflon.pl/paste/268922:28
orysSIR_Taco: I can access it no problem, but only after I start the system22:29
orystbh it's not really big deal, as it my windows disk22:29
orysas I have separate windows in case that I want to play sim city once in few months ;-)22:29
James147orys: what is the filesystem of the drive?22:29
orysall important stuff I have at sdb1 and I managed to make it automagically mounting alreadyt22:29
orysJames147: ntfs I would suppose.22:29
orysbut it says fusebulk.22:29
SIR_Tacoif it's using FUSE, it's NTFS22:29
James147orys: install ntfs-config (if i temember correctly) it has a gui tool to add ntfs partitions to fstab22:30
khearhi, i'm running Kubuntu 10.04 and the "Run command" started suddenly crashing in infinite loop (new crash dialogs pop up constantly), and this pretty much makes the system completely unusable. any ideas what to do?22:30
orysJames147: that sounds like two kubuntus ago, but in last one (molested mandarin, or whatever the name it was) it was working no problem.22:30
SIR_TacoJames147: good point... saves messing with the fstab manually22:30
orysso I am off to install it22:31
orysok22:31
orysI am sucking it now.22:31
SIR_Tacoorys: honestly, I don't have my windows drive in my fstab.... if I really need it, it mounts when I click on it in Dolpin22:31
SIR_Taco*Dolphin even22:32
orysSIR_Taco: that what I said, it's not really THAT important :-)22:32
orysbut if it can be done no problem, I can do it ;-)22:32
orysif it won't work, I will ignore that, I have many other problems ;)22:32
SIR_Tacoorys: well you can, but I have become lazy and not messed with the fstab in a few years lol22:33

sergio__Hi23:16
sergio__How can run wepcrak on visual interface?23:16
sergio__the comand is ./wepcrak?23:17
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: Under System Settings -> File Associations -> inode -> directory .... what's the program at the top of the list?23:18
darthanubislol Dp23:18
darthanubisdragonplayer23:18
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: move Dolphin to the top23:18
darthanubisSIR_Taco: ty, my OCD can rest now :)23:19
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: if you click on the "inode" list item.... which option is set?23:19
yofelBlue_Opal: k, do you have the link? (you're un-quieted now)23:19
Blue_Opalyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/601495/23:19
Blue_Opalsorry about that, new to all this23:19
darthanubisinode "list"?23:20
orysok23:20
yofelBlue_Opal: ouch,  intel_region_buffer () from /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so sounds like a driver crash, you should file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-intel' and attach that backtrace to the report. Or install more debugging symbols so you have less ??23:21
yofelwell, mesa crash rather23:21
yofelBlue_Opal: hm, rather file that against libgl1-mesa-dri23:21
Blue_Opalthese intel gmas are always a problem for me, so file a bug then?23:21
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: "inode" is the top level of that list.... or in the list... if you click on it it should give you the option of show in: "embedded" or "separate" viewer23:21
yofelBlue_Opal: yes, please23:22
Blue_Opalyofel: ok thanks very much for your time23:22
darthanubisSIR_Taco: its set to embedd23:22
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: ok, that's fine23:22
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: not sure how dragon player took over like that, but hopefully it's fixed now for you23:23
darthanubisSIR_Taco: does VLC lock your system? It's been doing so ever since I upgraded to Natty23:23
darthanubisSIR_Taco: it appears to be ty23:23
darthanubisIf I can get VLC to stop locking the system randomly everything would be 100523:23
darthanubis100%23:24
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: I haven't had VLC installed in a long time... I kind of like DragonPlayer and it's simplistic style :)23:24
darthanubisI can't tell which types of files cause the lock or anything23:24
darthanubisI get mouse action to return, but X is frozen, I can't even tty. But I can ssh into the system23:24
James147darthanubis: alt+printscreen+k should restart x23:25
darthanubisI wish I could find a bug report on it. There was a guy here who confirmed23:25
darthanubisJames147: I'll try that next time23:25
James147printscreen|sysreq23:25
SIR_Tacodarthanubis: I'm honestly not sure, but I know that some corrupted video files and lock up your video drivers23:26
darthanubisDragonplayer plays everything without a hitch. VLC used to as well. I even turned off hardware acceleration in VLC23:26
orysok23:29
orysguys23:29
orysthere is a problem with sound. Everytime I restart the system, it "switches to internal sound as it has higher priority" even though I put it below SB in every field23:30
orysIt seems it does not saves my settings...23:30
orysfile access problem?23:30
=== coaboa is now known as coaboa|afk
skierpagewhere does UpdateManager log to?23:31
SIR_Tacoorys: go into the BIOS and disable your onboard sound... that's the easy solution23:32
oryshm23:32
orysright.23:32
yofelskierpage: somewhere in /var/log/, /var/log/dist-upgrade I think23:32
skierpageorys, in System Settings > Multimedia > you should be able to choose one of the sound cards and it should stick.23:32
yofel/var/log/apt/ has the apt and dpkg logs23:33
orysskierpage: yes, but it's not.23:33
orysIt sticks for the most23:33
orysbut not for "accesibility"23:33
orysso say youtube or rhytmbox play23:33
orysbut system sounds or communicators don't.23:33
SIR_TacoI would, honestly, just shut if off in the BIOS.... it will stop any further conflicts23:34
skierpageHmm, well I don't have that problem with my on-board and SB.  As to which sound card it prefers... I think that comes from PulseAudio and/or Alsa (I get confused).23:34
orysah23:34
orysthat might be related23:34
orysas if I am checking sound settings in skype it gives me only option for pulseaudio, but in general settings I have only Gstreamer ?23:35
orysor I am confusing completely different things now?23:35
yofelgstreamer is the phonon backend, not your audio device23:36
SIR_Tacoorys: PulseAudio is the frontend for audio in KDE... GStreamer handles the hardware (backend) part23:36
orysah23:36
orysok23:36
orysso I will try with bios then.23:36
yofelin the device settings pulseaudio shows up as 'internal audio analog stereo' for me23:36
skierpageorys, it's hecka confusing.  I think its Phonon > PulseAudio > GStreamer > Alsa, and apps like Skype and the Flash plug-in jump in at lower points.23:36
yofelSIR_Taco: not quite correct either, gstreamer handles the audio decoding, hardware access is still done by ALSA23:36
SIR_Tacoyofel: yes, you are right, my bad23:37
orysok23:38
orysI am off to bios23:38
orysbbl ;-)23:38
skierpageyofel, yeah both my VIA 8237 and Soundblaster Audigy ZS card show up with that name.  I think it's a known bug that Phonon/PulseAudio don't provide a more descriptive name for them.23:38
yofelprobably, I'm not much of an audio expert either :/23:38
SIR_Tacomine shows the same.... but it works, so that's all that matters :)23:39
yofel+123:39
SIR_TacoI have to say it's a far cry from Slackware 15 years ago haha23:40
skierpageAhh, bug 663207 , I dunno if it went upstream to PulseAudio .  Good times in sound land, I hope they don't return in 11.04 ;-)23:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 663207 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Phonon does not provide enough info to identify devices" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/66320723:40
sysop3ok how do I add a new syntax highlighting to kate? I have the xml file and copied it to   /usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax23:43
sysop3then restarted kate but no love.23:43
sysop3what else do I need to do?23:43
oryscan't find anything on sound in bios23:43
orys :(23:43
yofelorys: you could try to install pavucontrol, that's gtk, but has better pulseaudio controls23:44
SIR_Tacoorys: should be under "chipset"... but it really depends on the BIOS and the manufacturer23:45
orysthere is something, but for me it's magic23:45
orysnumbers only and some other smart things ;-)23:45
orysSIR_Taco: when phonon puts its settings? maybe this is a question of access rights?23:46
SIR_Tacoorys: it shouldn't be, as far as I know a 'regular' user can set his/her own audio settings23:46
orysSIR_Taco: so I don't have regular computer obviously :(23:47
SIR_Tacoorys: you just have a hardware conflict23:47
orysI never had before.23:47
James147orys: you could try renaming pules configs and reconfigureing it23:48
orysIt's works for all fields except "accessibility" (or however it will be called in English) where it does not saves SB on top and changes the internal one instead.23:48
orysJames147: yeah, but that was my question: where it keeps the settings?23:48
SIR_Tacowell... I assume you do.... but then again, it may be something else. I figured I would try eliminating one source of potential problem23:48
James147orys: ~/.pulse*23:48
orysin /home?23:49
James147orys: thats what ~ means23:49
James147orys: well, no actually ~ means /home/USER ^^23:50
orysyeah23:50
orysI know23:50
orysbut there is only some rubbish there23:50
SIR_Tacoorys: ok... just a second... under: System Settings -> Multimedia -> Phonon -> Accessibility .... do you have the same card selected as your normal sounds?23:50
orysSIR_Taco: tricky question: I am selecting the same card23:50
orysbut it does not saves it23:51
orysand put them upside down again.23:51
SIR_Tacook23:51
orysin /.pulse i have these: http://poteflon.pl/paste/269023:51
orysand in the first one I have these two23:52
oryshttp://poteflon.pl/paste/269123:52
oryswhen in pid all that file consists is 1464 or something23:53
orysand this =native I can't open, I don't know what is it, file or what?23:53
orysany ideas?23:55
orys:(23:55
SIR_Tacoorys: I'd really like to help you, but the hockey game is about to start and I'm filling with beer....   ; )23:55
orysSIR_Taco: thats only second last issue23:55
orysand I am ready :D23:55
SIR_TacoI still suggest trying to turn off the integrated sound card in the BIOS... would save a bunch of trouble23:55
orysyeah, but can't see any option really :(23:56
SIR_Tacoorys: no idea what motherboard you have?23:56
orysSIR_Taco: green :-) With chips on it :D23:56
SIR_Tacohaha23:56
orys(and propably layers of dust, I should hoover my comp again, I think)23:56
SIR_Tacowhat language do you speak natively?23:57
orysSIR_Taco: Polish23:57
SIR_Tacoah ok, can't help you there, was hoping French... my wife was Polish haha23:58
orysSIR_Taco: i speak some French if that any helpp ;-)23:59
orysand Czech ;-)23:59
SIR_Tacoorys: no no, your English is good23:59
skierpageorys, `sudo dmidecode | less`  will give lots of information about your system, including motherboard.23:59
orysand I can say "how are you" in Scottish gaelic, but can't spell it :-)23:59
