[00:08] keeline in system settings [00:10] sithlord48: ? You mean to ask something so that I can verify? [00:21] hello [00:22] keyboard configuration for 11.04 and kde is not working. The language on system settings is set to portuguese brasilian, but my keyboard is US and I want to type apostrofe plus c to get cedilla, but it s not working. [00:22] Is there a way to disable Menu Bar (Ctrl + M) of all the applications (atleast kde apps)? [00:23] alt-f2, oxygen-settings... widget style > scrollbars, scrollbar width... [00:24] someone please tell me what the default setting is :) [00:25] ybit: 15 [00:25] tunguska: there is keyboard layout app, which can switch between many keyboard layouts [00:26] tried that. not working. [00:26] I just need one keyboard layout, and the one that should - us alternative internatioinal with dead keys - it s not working whatsoever. [00:29] hey all. how does kubuntu mount things with dolphin? I just upgraded my dad's box to 11 and his usb drives seem to be unreadable by anyone but himself === Keshl_ is now known as Keshl [00:48] so i just setup ownCloud, now what? [00:49] katsrc: its a web service ^^ you access it through your webbroweser mostly [00:49] (assuming you have apache running) [00:50] James147: is it like only developers preview? [00:51] James147: I did not get the part where they tell that it runs on our own hardware, then why the web service? [00:52] cirdan: anyone means other users on the same computer? [00:54] yes [00:55] also, automount on the external drive would be great [00:55] it's a shared media drive [00:55] cirdan: you should add them into the /etc/fstab to automount [00:56] kavurt: that's the only way? [00:56] whats the best way for uuid? [00:56] sudo blkid [00:58] katsrc: I think its now more then a developers preview... but you have to ask if you need it... its designed to run on an server to sync up servral other computers (kind of like dropbox... but where you run it yur self rather the relying on dropbox, as well as syncing kde related stuff) [00:59] How do you add a radio stream from a local radio station to Amorak 2.3.2?? [00:59] cirdan: i don't know whether there's another way to do it [00:59] James147: it seems like a good service, we probably need it today [01:00] Scunizi: do you have the url? [01:00] katsrc: ?? [01:00] i'm wondering if there's a way to use local directories [01:00] Yea.. [01:00] kavurt: yes [01:00] kavurt: can he easily unmonut the drive from kde or gnome? [01:00] if it's mounted with fstab [01:00] James147: meant owning and running your own cloud [01:00] katsrc: yeah :) though thats only useful if you have the hardware to do it (ie a server type computer) [01:01] kavurt: I've got it playing now.. but I want to either bookmark it or add it as a stream to the "Internet" tab [01:01] cirdan: not if mounted by fstab [01:01] James147: it's good for sharing files with friends and family [01:01] cirdan: though "sudo umount " should do it [01:02] James147: but my dad doesnt use the terminal [01:02] cirdan: whats he trying to unmount? [01:03] i need it mounted and readable by everyone, until he unmounts it and takes it away [01:03] external 2tb drive [01:03] it used to work fine if he mounted it himself, but now ubuntu makes it readable only by him [01:04] cirdan: what if you make it user mountable and not auto mounted (user,noauto in fstab).. might show up in dolphin [01:05] i'll try that [01:06] something changed in hal's config, tht does the automount [01:06] katsrc: for basic instruction of setting it up ^^ http://owncloud.org/index.php/Installation ^^ though it is basically install it use your browser to configure it (http://localhost/owncloud) [01:21] Hi, I just installed a fresh natty narwhal, and I'm having a strange problem. When I click on the desktop, my windows and panels disappear. I can create a new panel that shows up, and if I choose select "keep above others" for a window, I can see it. Clicking on the desktop makes both disappear again. Disabling desktop effects ends this, and all panels and windows show up. Any ideas what it is in desktop effects could do this? [01:26] how do I nuke my kde workspace and rebuild it from scratch? At the moment [01:26] it is so messed up it won't even accept keyboard input. [01:28] dirk_: kde configs are in ~/.kde ^^ I would start with ~/.kde/share/config and rename the files in there that sound like they are responsible for the problem [01:29] ^^ app data is in ~/.kde/share/apps [01:32] thanks I'll try that. [01:40] well that kinda worked. moving ~/.kde/share/config at least gave me back a working kde enviorment [01:41] I have a dual screen setup and on one screen kde is ignoring keyboard input. [01:42] I have them set as seperate X-server screens in hopes of getting fullscreen games to work properly again. [01:43] in xfce4 keyboard input is accepted in the other screen. [01:44] dirk_: I dont think kde fully supports seperate screens yet === mren is now known as mren|off [01:47] James147: not supported? but it hsa a configuration section and everything for it. [01:47] where? I dont remember see one [01:49] Display & Monitor [01:49] dirk_: thats designed for open drivers that use randr extensions... not seperate screens in nvidia or ati [01:49] of course it doesn't seem to believe in my second monitor anymore.

[02:31] Or had their session crash repeatedly for no apparent reason? [02:32] no but I do have grub issues since the last few updates. [02:33] this was before 11.04 though. One of the regular updates caused it. [02:33] fixing the grub menu manually worked. [02:34] Did I miss something you said before that? [02:36] possibly, my telepathic module has segfaulted again. [02:36] no but I do have grub issues since the last few updates. this was before 11.04 though. One of the regular updates caused it. fixing the grub menu manually worked. [02:36] did that repost help? [02:38] I thought I had run grub-mkconfig, but I'll run it again [02:41] The new one is identical to the existing one, but we'll see what happens [02:41] I think the auto generated one is the problem. [02:42] I modified mine by hand. [02:42] Are the menu options in yours showing a root of (hd0,msdos1)? [02:42] That doesn't seem right to me [02:47] doesn't seem right to me either but I do think that's what it showed, let me check. [02:48] yup. set root='(/dev/sda,msdos1)' [02:48] I think it is because the drives are formated to use dos type partitions. [02:49] you know the whole thing of up to 4 primary partitions and x logical partitions. [02:49] Yeah [02:50] And that root works for you? [02:54] yup.

[13:35] mfraz74: copying text in kmail copies html text and not normal text. compositing does not work correctly on my gfs laptop with intel gpu, flash updates do not work (i always have to reinstall flash), somehow amarok plays the sound on the integrated soundcard and not the usb soundcard (vlc and all others do it right, phonon config is correct) [13:35] asraniel_: that copying text seems to have been fixed recently [13:36] mfraz74: not here at least... so i was hopping it was in 11.04 [13:36] have you got any of the kubuntu ppas enabled? [13:36] asraniel_: I would advise u wait a bit for things to stabilize before u try 11.04, lots of things are been fixed as I speak. [13:37] no one know of kopete and spanish characters? Google doesn't have a whole lot of info either. [13:37] very good :) is there a timeplan? 1 week? 1 month? [13:38] still have 4 more computers on 10.10 don't want to risk breaking them too [13:38] asraniel_: usually a month 2 months is a good time to upgrade, then most bugs would have been identified and fixes and walk around released [13:39] asraniel_: this should not mean u should not be involved in bug reporting and fixing . if u have a spare machine u can always help out. just might not the wise to upgrade on a walk machine where stability is top most priority [13:41] i've filed some bugs, a couple have been fixed, but the rest haven't [14:02] even things like Launchpad no longer knows what version of Ubuntu you're using if you use Firefox [14:07] noone a idea about ff4 and flash on kubuntu?

Just finished tweaking the hell out of Plasma+KWin - http://i.imgur.com/cohBk.png [14:46] I was so pleased with how it came out I just had to show off. :D [14:47] BluesKaj: Are you using 11.04 yet? [14:48] yes, been using it since alpha [14:49] Do you still have the option in KPackageKit to allow all users to install upgrades (without being prompted for a password)? [14:52] contrast, sorry dunno ...i normaly dump packagekit and replace it with synaptic (my only nod to a valuable gnome app )...mostly I use the konsole for upograding , since I'm the only user === sqwertle is now known as buov [14:53] that's exactly the way i did things for the longest time... not sure why but i've just been feeling tempted to do things "the normal way" lately. haha [14:54] I think it's the laptops cd rom drive [14:54] normal to me is the cli :) [14:54] it's the second time I tried to use it [14:54] the first, I had to send it back [14:57] yeah... i don't generally shy away from the cli (yakuake is always the first package i install), but given how often i'm adding different repo's, disabling/re-enabling them, etc., the GUI tools have started to prove quite convenient. [15:13] is thier a kubuntu-offtopic channel? [15:15] tertl3: Yeah, its #kubuntu-offtopic [15:16] Linkmaster: is it very active? [15:16] seems kinda dead with only 30 people [15:17] Its fairly active, though it helps if more people get in it [15:17] I mean, the last post was today at 10:14, and its an ongoing discussion, so its pretty active [15:19] In Kubuntu 11.04 there is no option to select/change/mute fron or back mic. [15:19] All I see are 4 tabs named "playback device", "capture devices", PLayback streams" and "capture streams" [15:20] How should I say to kmix to mute thr front mic and only allow back mic? [15:21] Also I used to have many channles to modify in debian kde, like PCM, line in, CD. where are they in Kubuntu Kmix? [15:23] !alsa | zelda [15:23] zelda: If you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:24] hi [15:25] zelda, open alsamixer in a terminal , and set your controls there ..it will change them ,kmix is just the gui [15:26] and not very representative of all that alsamixer can do [15:27] BluesKaj: Thanks even the "gnome-volume-control" has no options, alsamixer has everything. [15:27] hello [15:28] yup zelda , and you can use the M key to unmute/mute various ctrls [15:28] but still wondering why debian kde kmix has all the controls alsamixer shows, but here in kubuntu it is not [15:28] yep I am figuring it out thanks. [15:29] zelda, I think you can install a gui that is an alsamixer gui clone , but I forget the app's name [15:31] that would be cool, since I often need to adjust fron and back mics, and falling back to console is abit uneasy for me [15:31] hey but no wrrries, I am really liking alsamixer, it si very simple to use actually [15:32] hello, I'm a new kubuntu 11.04 and I'm wondering how to install windows fonts? please help [15:33] zelda, and, sudo alsactl store , is supposed to save one's alsmixer settings in the config file , but I'm not real confident about it ,... seems to lose it's settings after upgrades , so keep an eye on that [15:34] zelda: there are a couple plasmoids you might want to look into... compacting the url's now :) [15:35] hello, I'm a new kubuntu 11.04 and I'm wondering how to install windows fonts? [15:35] BluesKaj: Sure I will keep an eye on it. [15:36] Veromix: http://is.gd/uUTIUu and ALSA Volume Control: http://is.gd/5L2paL [15:36] zelda: Those are both just scripts, so you can install them via Get Hot New Stuff (no compiling necessary) [15:37] contrast: wow thanks, they are super handy. [15:39] Veromix is awesome. It's the one and only thing that really sold me on PulseAudio. I disabled KMix months ago (add "AutoStart=false" to ~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc and disable KMixD in System Settings -> Service Manager) and haven't missed it at all since. [15:39] cool contrast , that's the gui I was referring to http://is.gd/5L2paL [15:39] I disabled pulseaudio :) [15:40] I always did too back when I was still playing games on Kubuntu... You know if it still give headaches in that department? [15:43] how can i disable the touchpad while using the keyboard on notebook? [15:44] contrast, depends on the soundcard , pci cards benfit from PA ,but mobo/integrateds not so much IME [15:45] snikker: What release of Kubuntu are you using? [15:45] contrast: natty [15:46] snikker: synaptiks; it should be installed by default. [15:47] contrast: yes synapiks is installed, but i don't have the option for disable the touchpad while typing on keyboard [15:49] snikker: http://i.imgur.com/ODoF7.png - Or do you mean you see the option but it's greyed out? [15:50] contrast: mine is a little bit different... i don't have "touchpad management"... [15:51] snikker: Are you in System Settings? Because you won't find it there. You have to run synaptiks directly (Kickoff -> Applications -> Utilities) [15:53] contrast: ah ok... i was in system settings... (blush) [15:53] contrast: thank you [15:53] No prob ;) [15:54] synaptiks should be in system settings tho , it's the logical place for it [15:54] Agreed. [15:55] hi, after the upgrade my dragon player doesn't play videos from a samba share anymore (black screen in player and media doesn't load); any idea what's wrong or if there is a logfile or status display somewhere? [15:55] BluesKaj: KCM's always have to have their own .so file, correct? [15:56] In order to show up in System Settings, I mean. [16:13] saludos [16:14] contrast, could be..never really looked into it [16:17] That reminds me, actually; anyone know of how to get BasKet integrated into Kontact? I read somewhere that this is working in SVN, but it wasn't when I tried it (unless this requires a nightly build of KDEPIM as well). [16:19] * BluesKaj removed kmail and kontact ...became too difficult to connect to my ISP since it contracted out to hotmail's servers [16:20] Ouch... I'd be moving to a new area if that's what it took to get an ISP that doesn't do some garbage like that. :P [16:22] I did , it became webmail , so now it's similar to windows live or een gmail , so I use gmail instead and my old email addy is still on the webmail server [16:27] So... Sometime ~shortly before Beta 1 of Natty came out, some of PowerDevil's functionality went out the window on my laptop, namely automatically changing the screen brightness based on the loaded profile and custom power button/lid-closing actions. Any ideas? [16:31] ohh, thanks for the warning contrast , I did see some compaints about no control over screen brightness and power settings , but dunno if there are fixes . Daughter is using my laptop right now til she gets settled in , then we'll deliver her Imac when ready. I'd better keep my eye on that problem for when my laptop is returned to me. [16:33] well, i'm still able to manually change the screen brightness, so it's not that bad... just kinda sucks that the 5 minutes i spent setting up power profiles is now a waste. [16:34] contrast, yeah, even back when I had lucid installed on the laptop , the power preofiles were real flaky [16:36] they've pretty much always worked perfectly for me... i guess there has to be at least one thing with each release that doesn't go smoothly for me though.
