[00:00] anyone trying owncloud? === cesar_ is now known as Guest89286 [00:00] can't seem to change the data dir without gettign a permissions error even when the permissions has been changed as per the rror [00:06] i 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 why [00:09] darthanubis: I think you need to change the open_base varible in the php.ini config [00:09] the only thing i notice, is it says ECC not enabled so DRAM is disabled :/ [00:10] James147: appreciate your time, where is that file? [00:10] /etc/somthing/php.ini :) [00:10] probally /etc/php/php.ini [00:11] aibot: you rebooted the system right? [00:12] it should be one of the options in the bootloader [00:12] yes I have [00:12] i booted into kubuntu, it goes thought he boot, then loads to just a screen with a wallpaper, no post-install setup [00:13] aibot: there is not postinstall setup [00:13] documentation is close to nil [00:13] I guess it's still a work in progress [00:14] http://owncloud.org/index.php/Configuration [00:14] aibot: once its install its installed... you can boot and start using it [00:14] James147: hmm thought there would be one, well it seems to just stop at a screen with a wallpaper nothing else [00:14] aibot: hmm, that dosnt sound right [00:14] James147: nothing in logs point to a failure besides a note about ECC not being enabled and DRAM module cannot be loaded due to it [00:15] James147: ubuntu wubi worked fine, installed, booted it up and it loaded 100%... kubuntuis not doing the same [00:15] aibot: what version of kubuntu? [00:16] James147: latest, 11.04... maybe ill need to burn as a live cd and try :/ [00:16] aibot: worth a try [00:17] James147: yeah, thanks... just wounder it stange for ubuntu to work and kubuntu to not, maybe its a bug dunno, well thanks for the help :) [00:19] darthanubis: 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 file [00:21] James147: looking into it, because when I manually create the dir, I get the message that my dir is readable from the web [00:21] which means nothing to me [00:21] I thought that was the idea [00:24] Woo, Natty here I come. [00:24] /etc/php5/apache2 [00:26] James147: open_base variable is clear [00:26] hm [00:31] darthanubis: dont know why its empty ... === mren is now known as mren|off [00:37] hi, 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? [00:39] Also, 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 now [01:09] Hey, does anyone know why it takes so long for 11.04 to detect my usb mouse at startup? [01:10] it disables my mouse at the login screen [01:20] i 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? === ironfroggy_ is now known as Guest29145 [01:29] Hi, please, somebody knows some desktop record for KDE?

I'm new to Linux in general and it's not playing mp3s even though I thought it auto installed support for mp3 files. [02:19] It's just saying the mp3 plugin is needed.

[02:23] Well through the konsole, but I'm trying it through the "Get and Remove Software" [02:23] This is my first day with any other OS besides Windows so sorry Lol [02:24] sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg [02:24] in the konsole ^ [02:24] Yeah when I did that it said package not found etc [02:24] But [02:25] all the repos enabled? [02:25] I think I was able to install from Get and Remove Software [02:25] I'm not sure [02:25] Idk how to enable them [02:26] Now it's saying that libxinel-ffmpeg is at the latest version, but Amarok is still saying it needs the plugin. [02:27] zazaza, which plugin [02:27] MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) [02:27] zazaza, you completely quit and restarted amarok? not just sent to tray, but completely quit? [02:28] Oh [02:28] Didn't realize Linux did that [02:28] Let me see [02:28] well Amarok does [02:28] Oh is Amarok a good player by the way? [02:29] Oh it's working now.

[02:33] guys 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] zazaza, better to use stuff from the package manager, unless you want to personally upgrade your own packages each and every time [02:34] What is that? [02:35] Like synaptic? [02:35] zazaza, things from the ubuntu software repositories (repos) and not from random websites [02:36] Oh... okay [02:36] apt-get kpackagekit synaptic ubuntu software center etc [02:36] they do all the updating upgrading for you automatically, though it may not be the very newest version, its the most stable and tested one [02:37] ktorrent is fine, as is transmission and many others in that list [02:38] Okay 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] Or do I need to set it to make it do it automatically [02:41] zazaza, you can set it to when you want to check, or just do it manually from time to time, really up to you === Daxar_ is now known as Daxar [02:42] Can I just do apt-get update all [02:42] well the actual commands are sudo apt-get update , followed by sudo apt-get upgrade [02:43] oh [02:43] Well if I do that every so often I'll be fine? [02:43] the first updates the package list, the second checks it and installs upgrades if available, plus security updates (new kernels and the like) [02:43] yep === gary_ is now known as Guest75102 === rwd is now known as farce === farce is now known as ffiasco [03:07] Hi all,is there a need to upgrade kubuntu 11.04, has someone done this,how the performance in kubuntu 11.04?

[03:20] anyone have a link for getting broadcom air force one cards working? [03:29] ok.... i seriously have to ask [03:29] what happened to openoffice? what is this libre office that popped up after i updated to natty? === jakent_ is now known as jakent [03:36] i was wondering if i could get some help [03:37] 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] i deleted the root folder from places and was wondering if i could reset it somehow to get it back [03:37] Macer: LibreOffice forced from OpenOffice [03:37] spencer: you deleted /? is that even possible? [03:37] Or do you mean the shortcut to it [03:38] no it was just the shortcut from places [03:38] 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 you [03:38] thanks [03:39] i tried adding it manually but when i click on it it doesn't have root priviliges [03:40] on the shortcut it had them [03:40] ah, no idea. I am still a beginner [03:40] yeah me too [03:41] i had kubuntu and ubuntu for a couple of years now [03:41] I got into Ubuntu like 2 months ago :P [03:42] Look out Kubuntu, influx coming your way. :) [03:43] heh [03:43] i tried something [03:43] I'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 > kde4 [03:44] im gonna reboot [03:44] I installed the kubuntu-desktop package from ubuntu myself :P [03:45] MK``: 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] Anyone getting any issues with USB mouse after installing 11.04? [03:45] takes forever for it to detect the mouse [03:45] nope didn't work [03:48] I'm running Kubuntu Natty. Can't seem to get my static IP set. I made a fresh one in knetwork manager, when I click it from the knetworkmanager widget pop-up thing, it doesn't enable. Any ideas? [04:03] if I have 2 system I want to upgrade to 11.04 - can I share the downloaded files? if so, where are they? [04:08] khindenburg: they are going to be in /var/cache/apt/? [04:08] archives is that last folder [04:09] can someone tell me why my console is utterly slow? [04:09] i can literally see it redrawing it line by line even if i disable the higher res vesa [04:09] khindenburg: 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] ok emtxs found th [04:10] hmm, upgrade on my laptop has strange effect on keys [04:21] hello all [04:23] why %sudo ALL=(NOPASSWD:ALL) ALL doesn't work in the sudoers please?

[04:32] hm [04:33] well. i just disabled the vesa console [04:33] vbe does not seem to agree with my video card :) [04:35] whats vesa console?

I'd rather punch my code in every time then accidentally compromise my system [05:06] hi, I have a 3.5gb hd, and I want to install kubuntu on it... I am pretty sure it will fit... it just requires 3.8gb [05:07] so I am poking thru ubiquity to find the testing critera.. or specifications for the install.. so I can change it to 3.0 GB required [05:08] does anybody know what file to edit?

[07:33] akashkj: you are not going to get help if you demand it [07:36] hello, has anyone had their microphones stopped working (or becomes really soft) after upgrading to 11.04 and know how to fix that? [07:36] tangent3: you check alsamixer to see if the volumes ahve changed? [07:37] i'll check that now, but i thought i'm using alsa [07:40] James147: ok found the problem, it's got the wrong input source selected [07:40] thanks [07:41] Do I need to do apt-get upgrade before apt-get dist-upgrade? [07:42] Keshl: You should do "apt-get update" first. "update" not "upgrade". [07:43] DarthFrog: Did that already. [07:43] Keshl: you shouldnt really run upgrade before dist-upgrade... if anything that willl probally break things :) [07:43] Keshl: I have an alias set in my .bash_aliases file: alias update="sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [07:43] Oh great two conflicting posts >w<' [07:44] Keshl: No conflict. [07:44] ...? So, just dist-upgrade then? No upgrade? [07:44] Right. [07:44] thanks, owo. [07:45] Keshl: 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 ones [07:45] Ah, that explains a bit. [07:47] DarthFrog: does apt-get have full-upgrade? [07:48] how can I stop my porn from appearing in .thumnnails [07:49] .thumbnails [07:49] Zenguy_pc: Don't download porn. <.< [07:49] ^^ or at least dont prewview it :) [07:49] Keshl: you're asking too much of me [07:49] James147: What would be the difference between dist-upgrade and full-upgrade? Upgrade to a new release? [07:50] Zenguy_pc: I believe, but am not certian that they are generate for the previews [07:50] just discovered gwenview.. greastest tool ever [07:50] Zenguy_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] DarthFrog: nah, just aliases... I know aptitude has them both... keeps dist-upgrade for backwards compatability [07:50] Zenguy_pc: Dual-boot it, obviously. [07:51] on windows I disabled thumbnails but on linux it's far more useful though [07:51] DarthFrog: bu renamed it since it makes more sence and stop people asking "But I dont want to upgrade to the new version" [07:51] James147: AFAIK, dist-upgrade is it. [07:52] Zenguy_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 thumnils [07:52] is there anyway to make .thumbnails as tmpfs [07:52] Zenguy_pc: where are they stored? in a single folder? [07:53] James147: i think preveiws from dolphin.gwenview and gthumb all got to /home/user/.thumbnails/ [07:53] Zenguy_pc: if so then just mount that location to tmpfs [07:54] James147: I have no idea how to do that ..i don;t even know if tmpfs actually can be recvarable [07:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1054129 [07:55] i always want to reload alsa when ever i boot into kubuntu 11.04 [07:55] just replace /tmp with the location you want in ram and the size=???m to the max size of it [07:56] (also use kdesudo kate rather then sudo gedit) ^^ [07:59] (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. <.<) [08:00] James147: tmpfs only exists in physocal ram not swap? [08:01] Zenguy_pc: no, it is part of the vritual memory so can be in swap [08:01] Zenguy_pc: but if you ahve more then 2 gigs of ram you dont really need swap for most things [08:01] 2gigs or more [08:01] havnt used swap in years without any problems [08:01] James147: i HAVE ONLY 1.5GB OF RAM [08:02] sorry caps [08:02] James147: Hibernation without TOE. [08:02] Zenguy_pc: do you use allot of heavy ram programs? do you actually use the swap space at all? [08:02] Keshl: o yeah, and hybernations :) [08:03] James147: 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] Keshl: though I never use that :) sleep or shutdown for me :D kde almost acts like it hibernates when you reboot anyway [08:04] Zenguy_pc: The other option is to encrypt the swap drive ^^ then you dont really ahve to worry about wahts in it [08:06] Zenguy_pc: do you have a guide for that? [08:06] i was wondering when I type in passwords to websites does swap retain that? [08:08] Zenguy_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... [08:09] James147: does truecrypt do that? [08:09] Zenguy_pc: and you have far mroe to worry about with typing it password to websites then what gets left in swap [08:10] James147: oh ok [08:10] Zenguy_pc: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [08:14] James147: well i'll try to encrypt swap and mount the folder as tmpfs [08:14] thanks [08:14] alot === michael is now known as Guest71998 [08:22] arghh, 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. [08:24] 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? [08:26] on unity it works fine [08:26] bios_: wpa or wep? [08:26] wpa [08:27] When you go into the settings for that network, it shows you the correct passkey? [08:27] yeah [08:27] Odd. [08:27] its just trying to connect and after a while it ask for the key again [08:27] but its the right one I had entered serverals times [08:27] What exactly does the dialog box asking you say? [08:28] just the regular "enter password" dialog with a blank input box [08:28] like if you connect the first time to a password-protected wifi [08:29] Just 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) [08:30] that's the only thing I can think of other than an outright bug. [08:30] I disabled kwallet [08:30] : p [08:30] Wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the problem somehow, dunno. Can you simply run Unity's network manager instead, then? [08:30] btw: is the knetworkmanager working on a different basis than the gnome/unity network manager or is it more than an interface [08:31] I can give it a try [08:31] brb [08:31] : p [08:31] They both just talk to NetworkManager [08:31] thats even more crazy [08:31] :S [08:31] but they store the connection info on their own, I believe. [08:33] Yeah weird, the Kubuntu installer isn't seeing the drives but, for example, GParted spies them just fine. [08:34] * keithzg should know better than to try and use the graphical installer . . . there's always SOME showstopping bug [08:40] hey, 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. 11.04 [08:41] keithzg: why the hell its working now : p [08:42] spaz: System settings > multimedia > phonon> speaker setup [08:42] James147: those are the settings I've bene messing with [08:42] just a few other questions, is it possible to make a global hotkey for starting a terminal? just like in gnome? [08:42] bios_: Magic! . . . yeah, I dunno, NetworkManager is tempermental that way sometimes. [08:42] Oh definitely. [08:43] System Setting -> Shortcuts and Gestures [08:43] ...although I always use Yakuake, in which case the command for terminal is just F12 ;) [08:43] hello 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 out [08:44] bios_: 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. [08:45] awesome thx : p [08:47] thx to unity that i had a look again on kde its quite fast these days : p [08:47] keithzg: :D why not ? I find the terminal far nicer when you ahve lots of windows everywhere :D [08:51] James147: and now, i don't know what i've done that I haven't undone, but I don't have any sound at all [08:51] which is even worse than suffering a downgrade from 5.1 to 2.0 [08:52] actually, it may have been 2.1, but still... [08:52] spaz: logout and back in... I found the settings to be a bit temprmental sometimes [08:52] James147: thats why I just rejoined the chat, I wholly restarted the computer [08:53] spaz: when I was trying to get 5.1 to work i did all sorts of weird things until it sudenly just worked :S [08:53] spaz: try resetting pulse [08:53] how should I go about doing that? [08:53] spaz: delete or rename ~/.pulse ~/.pulse-cookie [08:53] also, why is my name spaz right now xD === spaz is now known as Spaz_Dynamic [08:54] and anyother files the have pulse in their name you can see :) [08:55] anyone having issues using akonadi google resource to sync with google calenda and contacts? it keeps saying invalid passwords [08:56] James147: do I need to logout/in to have it reload settings and such? [08:56] I 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 back [08:56] Spaz_Dynamic: yes [08:56] even though the launchpad report makes it as fixed [08:56] it seems google akonadi data is broken [08:59] James147: alright, I have sound again. [08:59] xD [09:00] now I just need to figure out why the hell 5.1 doesn't work. [09:00] Spaz_Dynamic: Ooo wait I rember what i did [09:00] when I change the speaker setup to one of the 5.1 sets, it claims that the device isn't working [09:01] Spaz_Dynamic: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Surround_sound_systems ^^ its for arch and I am not sure where the configs are on kubuntu but I think tahts what got it working for me [09:02] lol, this is the second or third article you've suggested to me that was for arch linux [09:02] like, in the last week [09:02] Spaz_Dynamic: :) sorry, I find their wiki very useful [09:02] never said I had a problem with it. xD === Keshl_ is now known as Keshl [09:04] is there a way to restart pulse without logging? [09:04] like modprobe, or 'restart xxxx' [09:05] though modprobe is for modules... [09:05] xD [09:06] ugh [09:06] for the life of me i can't figure out why this computer keeps just freezing up on me [09:07] in a last ditch effort i just updated the bios [09:07] since i put an awesome dual core opteron in it.. maybe the bios was too old to support it [09:07] :) [09:12] James147: hmm, doesn't seem to have changed anything by changing the default-audio-sample === frogonwheels_ is now known as frogonwheels [09:51] anyone using kubuntu natty on dell inspiron N4010? [09:53] where are the song position controls in amarok? can't find them anywhere [09:55] nevermind, the toolbar disappeared somehow. had to switch to bring it back [09:57] though i can't move the position marker, no matter where i click [09:57] is anyone getting random crash and reboots with kubuntu natty? === tipsygyps is now known as Winston_Wolf [10:06] bigbrovar: well I am getting system freezing but not crashes [10:06] c2tarun: what wireless card are u using? [10:06] bigbrovar: broadcom [10:07] c2tarun: I know [10:07] bigbrovar: how? [10:07] I was getting the freezes too, it got so bad. but was able to get a work around it [10:07] bigbrovar: how did you fixed it? [10:09] bigbrovar: ping [10:10] c2tarun: [10:10] sorry was disconnected [10:10] bigbrovar: yup, how did you fix it? [10:10] first of all tell me ur exact wireless card [10:10] in any case here is the deal [10:11] broadcom released their wireless driver as open source a while back [10:11] that released was included in the kernel (afaik) but the particular driver is buggy and its the cus of the freeze [10:12] bigbrovar: how can I tell you my exact wireless card, If i'll switch on my wifi it'll freeze the system [10:12] before natty most broadcom drivers relied on the closed source binary only driver [10:13] c2tarun: calm down dude just trynna help [10:13] calm here too with my own issues :) [10:13] anyway the trick is to blacklist the open source driver module from loading [10:13] bigbrovar: sorry :) [10:13] and to do this u have to edit this file [10:14] which file? [10:15] hold on [10:15] am gonna pastebin it for u [10:15] sure :) [10:16] c2tarun: from commandline go to /etc/modprobe.d [10:16] c2tarun: are u good with commandline or need ur hands held? [10:16] bigbrovar: I am good :) [10:17] cool [10:17] can someone gimme a hand? in kde 4.5 i could right click icons i added to my panel, say dolphin for example. and input a keyboard shortcut to open it, now in 4.6 either the option seems to have moved or something, can someone point me in the direction? [10:18] c2tarun: now tell me if u can find a file named broadcom-sta-common.conf [10:18] if not u would have to create one [10:18] bigbrovar: where do you want to look me for file? in /etc or in file /etc/modprobe.d? [10:19] bigbrovar: well its not in both places. [10:19] so u cd to /etc/modprobe.d and ls to see if u find a file named broadcom-sta-common.conf [10:19] yeah /etc/modprobe.d [10:20] c2tarun: any luck? am in a hurry and internet here is unstable :/ [10:20] bigbrovar: nope there is no such file [10:20] anyway if u cant find the file u might have to create one [10:20] bigbrovar: and I didn't installed the addition STA driver from additional driver list. [10:20] create a file named broadcom-sta-common.conf [10:21] and populate it with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/601224/ [10:21] notice line 7 brcm80211 (the offending driver) is blacklisted [10:22] bigbrovar: done [10:22] once u have done this === vingthor is now known as thor === thor is now known as PilotPirx [10:22] u then go to /etc/modules === PilotPirx is now known as vingthor [10:22] c2tarun: and then add lw to the end of the file [10:23] bigbrovar: done [10:23] when u are done save and close [10:23] bigbrovar: done [10:23] then install the following package [10:23] broadcom-sta-common [10:23] sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-common [10:24] bigbrovar: its installing. [10:24] bigbrovar: what after that? [10:24] then reboot ur system, turn on the wireless and hold ur breath [10:24] if no freeze comes up [10:24] go to kmenu or kicker menu [10:24] and fire additional drivers [10:25] it should tell u u need to install some drivers and bla bla [10:25] enable the driver and ur wireless would work [10:25] that was how I solved my problem [10:25] c2tarun: let me know if it worked for u [10:26] bigbrovar: one more help please, can you please tell me how did you find this method? [10:26] well I came up with it [10:26] after a series of pain and trouble shooting [10:27] no one could help [10:27] so I was on my own [10:27] bigbrovar: you are good :) I got this message while installing http://paste.kde.org/42877/ [10:27] while installing broadcom-sta-common [10:28] I at first didnt know why my system would freeze and even livecd would freeze [10:28] yeah choose N [10:28] it wants to overide the file u edited [10:28] just tell it to leave it alone [10:28] or u can tell it to overide and make the edit again [10:28] bigbrovar: ok I am going to switch on my wifi. [10:28] not now [10:28] after u reboot [10:28] the bad module is still loaded [10:29]
