|---|---|---|
| oracleoftruth | arbosis_:thanks. whats the command for that? also attempting playback of sound seems to stress the cpu | 00:03 |
| arbosis_ | just alsamixer on any terminal | 00:04 |
| oracleoftruth | everything is turned up | 00:06 |

| SIR_Taco | and ... /usr/share/wallpapers/ | 01:42 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, do you know where the basecode is for both are located at? | 01:44 |
| SIR_Taco | in svn? | 01:44 |
| ssfdre38 | yea | 01:45 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: give me a second and I'll find out | 01:45 |
| ssfdre38 | ok | 01:45 |
| SIR_Taco | http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kde-wallpapers/ | 01:45 |
| ssfdre38 | thanks | 01:46 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: that's the wallpapers... can't remember where kdm themes are... but I'll find it haha | 01:47 |
| ssfdre38 | well im trying to make an os right now im working on a prototype with debian | 01:48 |
| ssfdre38 | and well kubuntu is my KDE prototype | 01:50 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: ok... there should be a lot of documentation out there to making a custom kdm login, splash screen, etc. | 01:51 |
| ssfdre38 | well right now im working on LFS | 01:52 |
| ssfdre38 | well with | 01:52 |
| SIR_Taco | stilly, shouldn't be too hard building kdm | 01:53 |
| SIR_Taco | *still | 01:53 |
| ssfdre38 | no | 01:53 |
| SIR_Taco | you should call the OS "Kraken" .... always thought that would be an awesome name for a KDE distro :P | 01:54 |
| ssfdre38 | no im going to call it tronOS and i do have a screenshot of GRUB so far at http://irc.ssfdre38.com/e10.4.jpg | 01:55 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: nice, what's the selling point? | 01:56 |
| ssfdre38 | that is what it should look like for the GRUB | 01:56 |
| ssfdre38 | its going to be for web site dev and desingers | 01:56 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: nice | 01:57 |
| ssfdre38 | im thinking of doing a clean server os and a pre-bulit web server | 01:57 |
| ssfdre38 | its just been an idea for a while now and now im going to make it a prototype and see what people think with gnome and KDE | 01:58 |
| zus | hello is there a ppa for the daisy widget in natty 11.04? | 01:58 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: that's how good ideas start | 01:59 |
| ssfdre38 | just need to work on it | 01:59 |
| SIR_Taco | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-daisy | 02:00 |
| zus | SIR_Taco, thank you, i wasnt sure if it was too new a release for the widget yet | 02:00 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: nothing is too new :) and you're welcome | 02:01 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, i was going to use ubuntu but then i dont want to use unity | 02:02 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: you can strip Unity out.... for now anyway | 02:02 |
| ssfdre38 | gnome 3 thro | 02:02 |
| SIR_Taco | brb... have to kill the neighbors lol | 02:03 |
| zus | wot is going on tonight, this is the most active iseen this channel in a day or two, or is it the hours i log in | 02:03 |
| SIR_Taco | not litterally, of course | 02:03 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: not sure.... seems to be feast or fammine around here | 02:05 |
| ssfdre38 | is it me or did unity somewhat slowed down ubuntu? | 02:05 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: not sure... haven't touched Gnome in over 10 years | 02:06 |
| zus | has anyone managed to get runes of magic to work on 11.04? | 02:06 |
| zus | im still a newbie with Linux, | 02:06 |
| expecto | #ubuntu | 02:06 |
| ssfdre38 | i just say for noobs they should use Jolicloud first | 02:08 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8157 | 02:08 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: if you need help figuring it out, let me know | 02:12 |
| zus | actaully i do have a question, do i just down load it like normal and wine takes care of everything else? | 02:14 |
| zus | SIR_Taco, ^ | 02:14 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: should, yes. I haven't tried that game before... but usually you download 'whatever.exe' and in a console you'd type 'wine whatever.exe' | 02:16 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: of course you need to install wine first | 02:16 |
| zus | wine is isntalled, but if i can get this to work i will never need windows again | 02:18 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: according to the Wine DB entry, you might have sound problems.... but that was for Ubuntu 10.10 | 02:19 |
| zus | yeah? personally i play with no sound as i normally rock out to some metal! but least i know it should be expected | 02:20 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: problem solved then haha | 02:21 |
| zus | hmm ok i clicked the exe and the wine glass icon showa but then thats it | 02:22 |
| === ssfdre38 is now known as Guest90508 | ||
| SIR_Taco | zus: can you use the command line and go to the directory/folder where you downloaded the .exe and type 'wine whatever.exe' (without the quotes) | 02:23 |
| === Guest90508 is now known as ssfdre38 | ||
| zus | im not good with command line, how do i get into the downloads folder | 02:24 |
| ssfdre38 | its cd downloads | 02:24 |
| SIR_Taco | well if you open Konsole (Alt-F2 then type konsole), type "cd Downloads" | 02:24 |
| SIR_Taco | then "wine whatever-the-name-of-the-file-is.exe" | 02:25 |
| ssfdre38 | this is why i say noobs should start with jolicloud os | 02:25 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: I was a noob 15 years ago, and I used Slackware.... not a good noob OS, but I survived :) | 02:26 |
| ssfdre38 | lol | 02:26 |
| ssfdre38 | i started with ubuntu 7 | 02:26 |
| SIR_Taco | sometimes it's best to be thrown into the fire :) | 02:26 |
| zus | i get command not found ? | 02:28 |
| ssfdre38 | what did you type? | 02:28 |
| zus | when i got to the downloads directory i did WineSlime.exe | 02:28 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: I am really not that old... lol... just and inquisitive kid and in a completely opposite job than I probably should be | 02:29 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: small "w" | 02:29 |
| SIR_Taco | and a space between 'wine' and the exe name | 02:29 |
| ssfdre38 | well im 22 now so that says something | 02:29 |
| SIR_Taco | linux is case-senstive (ie. 'a' and 'A' are completely different) | 02:30 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: 29 | 02:30 |
| zus | hmm virtual memory exhausted is wot i got now | 02:30 |
| zus | one sec. | 02:30 |
| ssfdre38 | you need to increase the wineHQ virtual memory | 02:30 |
| zus | hmm dunno how to do that, | 02:31 |
| SIR_Taco | just a minute... let me install Wine again... and see what's going on | 02:31 |
| ssfdre38 | you need to go to the control panel of wineHQ and increase it there | 02:32 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: according to the winehq entry you need to install winetricks first | 02:33 |
| zus | winetricks is in my menu, | 02:34 |
| SIR_Taco | ok, then you need to install: dotnet20 and vcrun2005 through winetricks | 02:35 |
| zus | hmm is that like sh winetricks in the terminal to get the list? | 02:35 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: depends on how you got winetricks | 02:36 |
| zus | i see | 02:36 |
| zus | kxstudios ppa | 02:36 |
| SIR_Taco | should just be able to hit Alt-F2 then type winetricks | 02:37 |
| SIR_Taco | trying it out now... seems that it's changed a lot since I used it last | 02:38 |
| zus | ok sec,.. | 02:39 |
| SIR_Taco | selected "Select the default wineprefix" then OK.... "Install a Windows DLL or component" then OK.... and select dotnet20 and vcrun2005 then OK | 02:40 |
| zen | . | 02:40 |
| zus | ok sh can not open winetricks and it loooked as if it wa doing something but not anymore | 02:41 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, someone thought tronOS was an offshoot of TRON Project | 02:41 |
| SIR_Taco | zus: shouldn't need to type 'sh' if it was installed through apt... just type 'winetricks' | 02:41 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: well it's an easy mistake | 02:42 |
| ssfdre38 | no with apt you just type sudo | 02:42 |
| zus | still getting a virtual memory exhausted | 02:43 |
| zen | . | 02:44 |
| SIR_Taco | zen: winehq also says to 'Download the client files from the "Multiple File Download" section.' and then "Run the first file to start the installation process." | 02:45 |
| SIR_Taco | zen: winehq also says to 'Download the client files from the "Multiple File Download" section.' and then "Run the first file to start the installation process." | 02:46 |
| ssfdre38 | fail | 02:46 |
| SIR_Taco | worst internet cliche ever lol | 02:48 |
| ssfdre38 | also the best | 02:48 |
| zus | lol which "Fail"? | 02:49 |
| SIR_Taco | and the irony is lost | 02:49 |
| ssfdre38 | well time to try and see if i can get a image on grub for kubuntu | 02:50 |
| zus | haha i dont get anythin but a blue screen untill the rectangle with the hdd and the k logo pops up | 02:51 |
| zus | brb | 02:52 |
| kubu2 | I see this plasma dock on kde.org on Kubuntu. http://wstaw.org/m/2011/05/05/plasma-desktopap4455.jpg | 02:56 |
| kubu2 | Need help how to get this | 02:56 |
| SIR_Taco | any idea what the name of it is? | 02:58 |
| Walzmyn | the propritary drive gizmo says the nvidia driver is activated by not currently in use. How do I kick it in use? | 02:59 |
| kubu2 | SIR_Taco: no idea..googling docks and seems like kooldock is no longer in the repo? | 02:59 |
| SIR_Taco | kubu2: are you sure this isn't just a mock-up? | 02:59 |
| kubu2 | SIR_Taco: that's what I was thinking too. | 02:59 |
| SIR_Taco | kubu2: seems like an OSX meets Kubuntu mock-up.... but hey, you never know | 03:00 |
| kubu2 | SIR_Taco: It would be nice but that's all I know. | 03:01 |
| ssfdre38 | well i broke grub for kubunut | 03:02 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: how so? | 03:03 |
| ssfdre38 | i was trying to put an image on it and now i cant get on it so i went to my windows | 03:03 |
| SIR_Taco | kubu2: superkerumba (or whatever it was/is called) used to have something similar years ago I believe... | 03:03 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: you don't get a grub screen? or you only have a windows option on it? | 03:04 |
| ssfdre38 | i get it but it doesnt give me the grub os choosing window | 03:05 |
| SIR_Taco | so it shows the grub screen, but nothing in the list? | 03:06 |
| SIR_Taco | hmmm.... maybe I should stop giving advice.... they all seem to get eaten by a Grue afterwards | 03:09 |
| ssfdre38 | sorry about that and it doesnt even show the list it just shows grub> | 03:15 |
| SIR_Taco | ah, so you're stuck on the grub command line.... | 03:16 |
| SIR_Taco | did you just recently update grub? | 03:16 |
| ssfdre38 | i just redid it so im good and it was a mod to the grub.cfg file | 03:16 |
| ssfdre38 | well reinstalled kubuntu | 03:17 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: you can usually just boot a live-cd and fix your mistakes | 03:17 |
| ssfdre38 | i didnt mod the kubuntu that much so it wasnt worth it | 03:18 |
| ssfdre38 | and windows is my main os so it would see vista over kubuntu | 03:18 |
| SIR_Taco | ah ok | 03:18 |
| ssfdre38 | yea modding it back to what i had it before i reinstalled kubuntu takes no time | 03:21 |
| SIR_Taco | there is a package (can't remember it's name) that well take a snapshot of your current configuration and packages and create a CD/DVD out of it.... so you could technically backup as you go | 03:22 |
| SIR_Taco | well = will | 03:23 |
| ssfdre38 | but i do want to get an image on the grub boot loader like the one i showed you that i did for Debian | 03:24 |
| SIR_Taco | ok..... so you just want to add a background image to grub? | 03:26 |
| ssfdre38 | yea | 03:26 |
| SIR_Taco | move and change the name of your image to /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png | 03:27 |
| SIR_Taco | you'll have to open it in Gimp or such and change the format to PNG.... then just "sudo update grub" | 03:27 |
| ssfdre38 | well i have it in .png already | 03:28 |
| ssfdre38 | http://irc.ssfdre38.com/tronosgrub1.pgn | 03:28 |
| ssfdre38 | http://irc.ssfdre38.com/tronosgrub1.png | 03:28 |
| SIR_Taco | sorry... "sudo update-grub" | 03:28 |
| SIR_Taco | so just "sudo cp tronosgrub1.png /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png" then "sudo update-grub" | 03:30 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: worky? no worky? | 03:31 |
| ssfdre38 | right now im on windows | 03:32 |
| ssfdre38 | i would need to switch ove | 03:32 |
| ssfdre38 | over and im helping someone on a hosting site real quick | 03:32 |
| SIR_Taco | ok well that will work, haha | 03:32 |
| SIR_Taco | let me know if you have problems though | 03:33 |
| ssfdre38 | i will be on here when i get xchat install on kubuntu | 03:34 |
| === sean is now known as Guest73319 | ||
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: what's wrong with Quassel? | 03:35 |
| ssfdre38 | i just like xchat interface | 03:36 |
| SIR_Taco | fair enough | 03:36 |
| ssfdre38 | i did try Quassel | 03:36 |
| ssfdre38 | for me xchat works better then Quassel | 03:37 |
| darthanubis | gstreamer backend to phonon WIN! Finally you can play multiple audio sources at once out the box! Makes Kubuntu actually relevent. | 03:37 |
| SIR_Taco | whatever floats your boat | 03:37 |
| darthanubis | Konversation took the place of xchat in KDE for me | 03:38 |
| SIR_Taco | darthanubis: yes, I agree... I had problems here and there | 03:38 |
| SIR_Taco | argh | 03:41 |
| Linkmaster | :? | 03:41 |
| SIR_Taco | got a tattoo the other day.... now I have to wait 6 months to give blood again | 03:42 |
| Linkmaster | I didn't know that :o | 03:42 |
| SIR_Taco | might be different in other places, but that's how it works ehre | 03:42 |
| Linkmaster | Hm.. | 03:44 |
| SIR_Taco | sorry... that's my minute rant haha | 03:46 |
| Linkmaster | Its fine, haha | 03:51 |
| mole__ | just upgraded to 11.04 thanks everyone! | 04:18 |
| mole__ | went 100% smooth! which is totally rad! | 04:18 |
| SIR_Taco | glad to hear mole__ | 04:19 |
| mole__ | does anyone think microsoft will shut down QT dev via nokia like microsoft shutdown mono via attachmate/novell? | 04:20 |
| SIR_Taco | mole__: with it being open source, I don't think there's much they can do about it | 04:22 |
| mole__ | i realize that but they can kill it's development resources heh | 04:22 |
| mole__ | and the fact that google used GTK for chrome... i was hoping they went QT :( | 04:23 |
| SIR_Taco | I'm sure they could... but with any luck they community would pick up the slack | 04:23 |
| SIR_Taco | the community | 04:23 |
| SIR_Taco | makes it sound like a cult lol | 04:24 |
| mole__ | it'd be nice to be reassured by someone that QT will not be shut down despite the nokia 1 billion dollar soul selling | 04:24 |
| SIR_Taco | mole__: If (and that's a big if), Nokia shut down development on it... there are enough people in the KDE and QT groups, that are not affiliated with either company, to continue the good work | 04:26 |
| mole__ | I'm not losing sleep over this obviously but I used to think trolltech being bought by nokia was a good thing, then after novel and nokia being bought out by microsoft... it's pretty scary... i just don't want my precious KDE to die | 04:27 |
| mole__ | :( | 04:28 |
| ssfdre38 | so SIR_Taco what is the command for it? | 04:28 |
| SIR_Taco | mole__: I don't see it happening... it would more go the way of OpenOffice to LibreOffice than snuff out | 04:28 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: ? | 04:28 |
| ssfdre38 | for grub image | 04:29 |
| mole__ | SIR_Taco: thanks man! that was the right thing to say to me | 04:29 |
| mole__ | lol | 04:29 |
| mole__ | SIR_Taco: i think that's a bot | 04:29 |
| SIR_Taco | mole__: haha ok | 04:29 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: "cp 'yourfile.png' /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png" and then "sudo update-grub" | 04:31 |
| SIR_Taco | almost pasted my tattoo pic lol | 04:32 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, are you an op on here? | 04:37 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: lol no | 04:37 |
| Firefishe | Is there a volume-balance control in kde 4.5.x? | 04:38 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: what do you mean exactly? | 04:38 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: you mean 'normalizing' the audio? (ie. setting a max/average volume) | 04:40 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Well, I can't seem to find any sound balance (Left----Right) control in kde anywhere. I have to use gnome's volume control system applet to change it. | 04:40 |
| Firefishe | luckily, I use everything, so I can usually make something work ;) | 04:41 |
| Firefishe | My primary vexation, however, is that whenever I log in (to any desktop), I have my Left---Right (Balance) almost all the way to the left, though not all the way. I have to use gnome's system configuration to change it. | 04:42 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: Kmix doesn't provide left and right control, unfortunately.... you can us 'alsamixer' in the command line and/or konsole | 04:42 |
| Firefishe | My wife's user doesn't experience this. | 04:42 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: I'm kind of curious by kde doesn't have a native interface to change the balance control. | 04:42 |
| Firefishe | by=why | 04:43 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: I have no answer for that :) | 04:43 |
| SIR_Taco | it should.... for sure... but it doesn't... yet | 04:44 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: alsamixer :) | 04:44 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: k. Perhaps I should add something to the code base.... | 04:44 |
| Firefishe | mole__: True, that does work. | 04:44 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: I've been thinking the same thing for a while.... just haven't had the time for it | 04:44 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: kde 3.5 was may more complete and polished than KDE even at 4.6.2 | 04:45 |
| mole__ | it's definitely lacking what it used to have but eventually it'll get there... i have hope | 04:45 |
| Firefishe | mole__: Is there a way to get back to 3.5.10? I'm kinda missing it, and wouldn't mind having it for a choice alongside everything else. | 04:46 |
| mole__ | it's bad times but whatever... kde 4.6.2 is still the besst | 04:46 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: who knows... i always upgrade because there are some things that are better | 04:46 |
| mole__ | but yeah... obviously everyone misses kde 3.5 | 04:46 |
| Firefishe | mole__: Is there a ppa for 10.04 for 4.6.2? | 04:46 |
| mole__ | i dunno | 04:46 |
| SIR_Taco | seriously? | 04:46 |
| mole__ | i just upgraded to 11.04 and whent super smooth | 04:47 |
| ssfdre38 | well its still on the default grub background | 04:47 |
| mole__ | so... | 04:47 |
| mole__ | Qt: 4.7.2 | 04:47 |
| mole__ | KDE Development Platform: 4.6.2 (4.6.2) | 04:47 |
| mole__ | kde4-config: 1.0 | 04:47 |
| FloodBotK1 | mole__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:47 |
| Firefishe | Oh, 11.04 is out now? | 04:47 |
| mole__ | yes and it's worth the upgrade | 04:47 |
| Firefishe | from LTS? | 04:47 |
| mole__ | went smooth from 10.10 for me | 04:47 |
| mole__ | i dunno | 04:47 |
| ssfdre38 | Firefishe, dont upgrade from LTS | 04:48 |
| mole__ | the only thing that went awry with my buddy's ubuntu 10.10 was his ati driver but that was fixable | 04:48 |
| Firefishe | One thing that is completely annoying me, is every time konqueror is called from another application as the URL handler, I get multiple instances, all at once, and usually end up having to kill the x server. | 04:49 |
| mole__ | sounds ghetto | 04:49 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: what's the line about 6th from the bottom of your /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme say for set_background_image? | 04:49 |
| mole__ | i don't even use konqueror any more at all | 04:49 |
| mole__ | just dolphin and chromium | 04:49 |
| mole__ | although dolphin really pisses me off and konqueror used to be awesome in kde 3.5 | 04:50 |
| mole__ | :( | 04:50 |
| Firefishe | I have an Asus G50V. Chromium--and even Chrome--don't work on my machine at all. I get a kernel panic. | 04:50 |
| mole__ | lol | 04:50 |
| SIR_Taco | I've been using KDE for over a decade... and I don't miss 3.5 anymore | 04:50 |
| mole__ | SIR_Taco: me too, but there are some things | 04:50 |
| mole__ | that fail | 04:50 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: I don't either, really ;) | 04:50 |
| Firefishe | I'm well into the 4.5.x hierarchy, and will probably just stay there. | 04:51 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, under the same dir bit its not working | 04:51 |
| mole__ | i've filed one bug.. i'll test it soon but someone already reported it not working in 4.6.2 | 04:51 |
| mole__ | on bugs.kde | 04:51 |
| Firefishe | ssfdre38: Do you mean don't upgrade from LTS to 11.04, or 10.10? I could upgrade to 10.10 from here, first, then to 11.04, correct? | 04:51 |
| Firefishe | mole__: What is that? | 04:51 |
| mole__ | umm | 04:51 |
| mole__ | hold on | 04:52 |
| SIR_Taco | 4.6.2 of what? | 04:52 |
| mole__ | it's in all of 4 series | 04:52 |
| mole__ | it irritates me everyday | 04:52 |
| mole__ | i want to stab it | 04:52 |
| ssfdre38 | Firefishe, just wait till the kubuntu 12.04LTS | 04:52 |
| Firefishe | ssfdre38: When's that scheduled to be out? | 04:53 |
| mole__ | https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264557 | 04:53 |

| mole__ | weird | 04:53 |
| mole__ | someone confirmed it i thot | 04:53 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, its set to /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png | 04:54 |
| Firefishe | ssfdre38: Well, that's next year. I may want to upgrade before that ;). It would be nice to see konqueror working again, and not spawning endless child processes. | 04:54 |
| Firefishe | ...as well as have chromium working properly | 04:54 |
| ssfdre38 | well if you want to you can im just saying for LTS releases just wait | 04:55 |
| mole__ | you probably have it weirdly installed | 04:55 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: it totally should work | 04:55 |
| Firefishe | mole__: You mean chromium? | 04:55 |
| mole__ | yeah | 04:55 |
| Firefishe | sudo apt-get install chromium | 04:55 |
| Firefishe | what's hard about that? | 04:55 |
| Firefishe | I've done that multiple times. | 04:55 |
| mole__ | if you install strace | 04:56 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: when you do the "sudo update-grub" does it list "desktop-grub.png" anywhere? | 04:56 |
| mole__ | and run | 04:56 |
| mole__ | strace chromium-browser | 04:56 |
| mole__ | you will understand why your browser is crashing | 04:56 |
| ssfdre38 | no | 04:56 |
| mole__ | you are probably linked to a bad library | 04:56 |
| mole__ | that you need to upgrade or reinstall proper version of | 04:57 |
| Firefishe | mole__: It doesn't just crash the browser. When it happens (and it's always the same), the entire computer stops and my caps lock indicator light blinks slowly, on and off.. | 04:57 |
| mole__ | that would be your video card driver crashing | 04:57 |
| mole__ | do you know what kind of videocard and what driver you are using? | 04:57 |
| Firefishe | then the proprietary driver I'm using for my effects is interacting weirdly with chromium's rendering engine. | 04:58 |
| mole__ | which one? | 04:58 |
| Firefishe | let me check | 04:58 |
| mole__ | ati or nvidia? | 04:58 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: for example: mine says "Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png" | 04:58 |
| Firefishe | nvidia | 04:58 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, nope | 04:58 |
| mole__ | are you sure you are using bbinary | 04:58 |
| mole__ | or are you using nouveau? | 04:58 |
| Firefishe | mole__: I'm not sure. | 04:59 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: what version are you basing your OS off? | 04:59 |
| mole__ | glxinfo | grep -i nvidia | 04:59 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, 11.04 | 04:59 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: so you should have grub2 then | 04:59 |
| mole__ | grep -i nvidia /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:59 |
| ssfdre38 | yes | 04:59 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: you can always try installing kde-config-grub2 and see if you can chage it that way | 05:01 |
| Firefishe | mole: Here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/603971/ | 05:01 |
| Firefishe | I use good ol' regular grub | 05:01 |
| mole__ | okay yes... so binary driver | 05:02 |
| mole__ | is your xorg.conf empty? | 05:02 |
| ssfdre38 | Firefishe, that is what im using too im just trying to put a background on it like how i did on Debian http://irc.ssfdre38.com/e10.4.jpg | 05:03 |
| Firefishe | mole: checking | 05:03 |
| Greenery | i tried upgrading 10.10 to 11.04 but couldn't. Currently I'm on Kubuntu 10.10 with KDE 4.6.2 | 05:03 |
| ssfdre38 | Greenery, on your terminal type sudo do-release-update | 05:04 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: so you are or you're not using grub2? | 05:04 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, i am | 05:04 |
| Greenery | ssfdre38: command not found | 05:04 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: this looks promising http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html | 05:05 |
| mole__ | but you may only want to try it if you know what you are doing | 05:05 |
| mole__ | i don't want to leave you with a black screen lol | 05:05 |
| SIR_Taco | and at the end of your 05_debian _theme the line matches what I quoted above? | 05:05 |
| Greenery | ssfdre38: is it sudo do-release-update or sudo do-release-upgrade? | 05:05 |
| ssfdre38 | do-release-upgrade | 05:05 |
| Greenery | ah okay | 05:06 |
| Firefishe | mole__: Here's my xorg.conf output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/603974/ | 05:06 |
| Firefishe | not much there | 05:06 |
| ssfdre38 | but you need to update the distro first Greenery | 05:06 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: looks safe | 05:06 |
| Firefishe | mole__: Relative to chromium-browser, neither Firefox 4 nor Opera 10.1 are affected. | 05:07 |
| Greenery | ssfdre38: updated already with latest packages for my 10.10, so its fine for me to do the command now right? | 05:07 |
| ssfdre38 | yes | 05:07 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: you could check Xorg.0.log after crash | 05:07 |
| mole__ | and also dmesg | 05:07 |
| Firefishe | mole__: after using strace? | 05:07 |
| mole__ | no | 05:08 |
| mole__ | disregard strace | 05:08 |
| Firefishe | k | 05:08 |
| mole__ | that is if it was just randomly crashing | 05:08 |
| mole__ | not tanking X | 05:08 |
| Firefishe | mole__: Yes, this is a regularly occuring theme ;) | 05:08 |
| Firefishe | mole__: Although, after I had it uninstalled for a while, I reinstalled it, and it behaved for a long time. Then it just started crashing agian. | 05:08 |
| Firefishe | again | 05:08 |
| ssfdre38 | SIR_Taco, GRUB2 is what is on all ubuntu distros since 9.10 | 05:09 |
| mole__ | u could also try | 05:09 |
| mole__ | sudo aptitude reinstall nvidia-common | 05:09 |
| mole__ | then reboot | 05:10 |
| mole__ | errr | 05:10 |
| mole__ | sorry | 05:10 |
| mole__ | i meant | 05:10 |
| mole__ | sudo aptitude reinstall nvidia-current | 05:10 |
| FloodBotK1 | mole__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:10 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: yea, thanks... just trying to figure out why yours isn't being nice | 05:10 |
| ssfdre38 | i dont know | 05:10 |
| Firefishe | mole__: I understand the manual install stuff coherently enough. I just don't want to do anything too dire. I'm having 2 major issues with 10.04 on my machine: 1) The chromium x/crash bug, and 2) konqueror spawning multiple windows when called from another program as the browser/url handler,. | 05:13 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: your desktop-grub.png file is actually there? | 05:13 |
| ssfdre38 | yea | 05:13 |
| ssfdre38 | im looking right at it | 05:13 |
| Firefishe | mole__: 3) Something not-too-dire: When I log in, my volume Balance is almost all the way to the left. My wife's user doesn't have this problem. So far, I haven't found any reason for it. | 05:13 |
| mole__ | umm | 05:14 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: set it properly using alsamixer | 05:14 |
| mole__ | then use | 05:14 |
| mole__ | alsactl store | 05:14 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: I have no idea then, that's how I've always done it in the past | 05:16 |
| ssfdre38 | well im asking on #grub right now | 05:16 |
| ssfdre38 | just nobody is answering | 05:17 |
| SIR_Taco | ssfdre38: well their more the experts than I am | 05:18 |
| ssfdre38 | lol | 05:18 |
| Firefishe | mole__: I'm going to log out and back in, and see if that worked. | 05:20 |
| Firefishe | brb | 05:20 |
| mole__ | lol okay | 05:20 |
| mole__ | win or fail? | 05:23 |
| Firefishe | mole__: fail Balance control was still almost all the way to the left, still. | 05:24 |
| mole__ | shitty | 05:24 |
| mole__ | i wouldn't be surprised if your gnome app is what is screwing it up | 05:24 |
| mole__ | rm -r .gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer | 05:24 |
| mole__ | if you are pissed off enough | 05:24 |
| mole__ | err | 05:24 |
| mole__ | rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer | 05:24 |
| Firefishe | mole__: will that force a new file to be created? | 05:25 |
| mole__ | who cares if u're running kde | 05:25 |
| mole__ | one time i had a problem with the multimedia key module of kde | 05:26 |
| mole__ | was screwing up my volume | 05:26 |
| mole__ | sounds weird but if i stopped it from loading it worked properly | 05:26 |
| Firefishe | mole__: I use gnome on occasion, so I don't want to delete something that can't be replaced. | 05:26 |
| mole__ | oh don't worry | 05:26 |
| mole__ | it'll recreate it self | 05:26 |
| mole__ | worst case you reinstall the app | 05:26 |
| Firefishe | mole__: That's what I needed to hear. No problems. | 05:26 |
| Firefishe | mole__: I'll check out the file first, I always do. :) | 05:27 |
| mole__ | yeah | 05:27 |
| mole__ | u can mv ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer_backup | 05:27 |
| mole__ | u can also try this | 05:29 |
| Firefishe | mole__: There is no .gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer. Neither directory nor file. | 05:29 |
| mole__ | sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio :) | 05:29 |
| mole__ | weird | 05:29 |
| Firefishe | mole__: that's asking for more problems if I remove pulse. | 05:29 |
| mole__ | it might fix it | 05:29 |
| Firefishe | mole__: yes, but pulseaudio is gnome's primary output, and I've had problems with things not working without it. This laptop is weird. | 05:30 |
| mole__ | u could also try | 05:30 |
| mole__ | sudo alsactl store | 05:30 |
| Firefishe | mole__: did that | 05:30 |
| Firefishe | fact is, it wouldn't work any other way | 05:30 |
| mole__ | well that's no fun | 05:31 |
| Firefishe | mole__: I may have permissions issues as far as I can tell. I'm about ready to just save all my files to my windows partition, delete my primary user, then recreate it when I know everything in /home/myusername is and /usr/share/myusername is gone. | 05:32 |

| SIR_Taco | sorry Firefishe... haven't been paying attention... you're having left/right volume issues? | 05:35 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: I'm having Balance issues. When I log in, my balance is way over to the left, though not all the way. I have to use gnome-volume-control to correct it. | 05:35 |
| Firefishe | Volume control, itself, is linked fine, they go up and down together. | 05:36 |
| SIR_Taco | gnome? or kmix? | 05:36 |
| mole__ | Firefishe: does it do it in mplayer? | 05:36 |
| Firefishe | I'm on kde at the moment. I have gnome and xfce installed, too. | 05:36 |
| Firefishe | mole__: I haven't checked it. I don't use mplayer much, mostly xine. | 05:37 |
| mole__ | try | 05:37 |
| Firefishe | This box is such a Heinz 57 mongrel, it's not even funny ;) | 05:37 |
| SIR_Taco | and you're absolutely sure that your other users have no problem? (ie... the jack is all the way plugged it.... not trying to be an ass) | 05:38 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: The only other person on my laptop is my wife, and her user doesn't have the problem. | 05:38 |
| SIR_Taco | ah, it's a laptop, so no plug problems | 05:39 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: And no issues on the ass part ;) LOL *duck* | 05:39 |
| mole__ | sorry i couldn't help | 05:39 |
| mole__ | i'm shleepin now | 05:39 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Asus G50V | 05:39 |
| Firefishe | mole__: You've helped a lot | 05:39 |
| Firefishe | thank you, and sleep well. :) | 05:39 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: levels aren't messed up in alsamixer? | 05:40 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Well, let's just see... | 05:40 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Looking at it in my terminal window, alsamixer is showing all volume levels to be equal | 05:41 |
| SIR_Taco | by default *buntu is set to have separate configurations for sound per-user (if I remember correctly) | 05:42 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: not left/right differences? | 05:42 |
| Firefishe | I don't actually see where I'd view that | 05:42 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: usually... there are two bars per audio input/output.... | 05:43 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: I'm viewing the command line version. I'm showing one bar. Let's say Master and PCM. Both have one multicolored bar (green/white/red--vertical) and show, at the bottom, or base, of the meter bar, two numbers like this: 81<>81 | 05:45 |
| Firefishe | Verson of alsamixer is 1.0.22 | 05:45 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: just checked mine... seems they have done away with the left/right.... odd | 05:46 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Is there a way to downgrade to a previous edition to get the functionality back? | 05:46 |
| Firefishe | I don't like this trend that I see, that being an apparent 'less is more' type of attitude with deference to interfaces. | 05:47 |
| SIR_Taco | not really... but at the same time you shouldn't have this problem either lol | 05:48 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: It's a weird thing. The only gui app that's picking up the problem seems to be gnome-volume-control. | 05:48 |
| === ncc1701 is now known as seawolf | ||
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: I am scractching my brain | 05:49 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Regarding what mole__ said earlier, I also don't have .gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer | 05:50 |
| Firefishe | at all | 05:50 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: but you have Kubuntu yea? | 05:50 |
| Firefishe | kubuntu, ubuntu, and xubuntu. Also have e17, openbox, fluxbox, etc. | 05:51 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: ok, but what was your base install? Kubuntu? Ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| Firefishe | Kubuntu | 05:52 |
| Firefishe | Lucid | 05:52 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: what is your Wife logging into/using? | 05:53 |
| Firefishe | kubuntu/kde 4.5.x | 05:54 |
| Firefishe | we use the same desktop | 05:54 |
| Firefishe | she never uses any other | 05:54 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: and if you log into another DE, you get the same audio problems? | 05:55 |
| Firefishe | Yes | 05:56 |
| Firefishe | with gnome, anyway. xfce, I think so, but I don' t use it much. | 05:56 |
| SIR_Taco | but your wife doesn't? | 05:56 |
| Firefishe | no | 05:57 |
| Firefishe | only kde | 05:57 |
| Firefishe | It was enough to have weaned her away from xp years ago ;) | 05:57 |
| SIR_Taco | haha ok | 05:57 |
| Firefishe | *doze xp broke, so we either had a choice: gnu/linux or nothing. easy choice. | 05:57 |
| Firefishe | no regrets, either, for her. she loves not having to reboot all the time, no spyware/malware problems, etc. | 05:58 |
| SIR_Taco | well... what I would suggest trying... if you haven't tried it yet... log out of kde. Open a console ALT-F2 and go to your home directory "cd /home/<name>/" and type "mv .kde .kde-bak" and reboot | 06:00 |
| SIR_Taco | you'll lose all your settings though, just a warning | 06:00 |
| SIR_Taco | I guess CTRL-ALT-F2... | 06:02 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Umm...hold on | 06:04 |
| SIR_Taco | ok | 06:05 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: That used to be the old way to do that, just delete .kde and start over from scratch. Thing is, if I do that, everything will be nixxed. | 06:06 |
| Firefishe | Also, the config files are in .kde/shar/config now. | 06:06 |
| Firefishe | .kde/share/config rather | 06:06 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: true... that's why you move it, not remove it... you can always put it back :) | 06:06 |
| Firefishe | deleting the .kde/* directory recursively may have dire consequences. | 06:07 |
| Firefishe | let me reread your suggestions above | 06:07 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Well, it can't hurt to try | 06:08 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: I mean, this is what gnu/linux is about, anyway, experimenting....carefully ;) | 06:08 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: that was my thought.... I was out of ideas haha | 06:08 |
| Firefishe | okay, here goes | 06:09 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: the other option is to create a new user, make sure it all works well... and remove the old one | 06:09 |
| Firefishe | brb | 06:09 |
| SIR_Taco | ok | 06:09 |
| Firefishe | I like my old one too much ;) hee | 06:09 |
| Firefishe | but I"ve done that too, before, depends. ;) hee | 06:09 |
| Firefishe | here we go. | 06:09 |
| noaXess | morning | 06:15 |
| SIR_Taco | morning | 06:15 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Well, that is interesting. A new, shiny desktop! Also, no balance problems. The culprit is probably in the .kde/share/config area. | 06:15 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: so it worked? | 06:16 |
| noaXess | if i ssh/login into my 10.04.2 servers i get the welcome message twice... one without information about updates, the other with inforation about updates.. the second one is wrong, cause all updates are installed.. | 06:16 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Well, it reset everything. Of course, all my desktop art is trashed, my compiz effects no longer works, and everything else. I have to reset everything ;) LOL | 06:17 |
| SIR_Taco | but audio is fine now? | 06:17 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Yes, the volume control was in the center, and not to the extreme left | 06:18 |
| Firefishe | ..or almost-to-the-extreme-left | 06:18 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: However, I think I'm going to delete the new .kde and put back the old one. Obviously, it's one of those files. Or, more than likely. | 06:20 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: very true, isolating it would be good | 06:20 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Now, this is good, but it also doesn't explain why konqueror wants to spawn multiple windows-at-once when called from other apps, or why chromium crashes my x server. | 06:21 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: can't help you with that unfortunately, I uninstall Konq whenever I install Kubuntu... just don't like it | 06:22 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: First of all, I'm going to get my old .kde back....be a sec. | 06:23 |
| SIR_Taco | ok | 06:23 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: Also, thanks for the help on the volume/balance issue. I can probably find it from here. | 06:23 |
| SIR_Taco | no problem | 06:23 |
| alesan | hi! since I upgraded to 11.04, it does not login automatically anymore | 06:28 |
| alesan | it was a very useful feature, any idea how to re-activate it? | 06:28 |
| Firefishe | alesan: I think that can be set in the login manager area | 06:28 |
| Firefishe | or user accounts | 06:28 |
| alesan | mh best would be to know which file to edit... but let me see if I have luck with the control panel | 06:29 |
| Firefishe | SIR_Taco: I wonder if 11.04 has eliminated that feature, too ;). | 06:29 |
| Firefishe | alesan. kubuntu? | 06:29 |
| SIR_Taco | Firefishe: I don't think so, should still be able to | 06:29 |
| SIR_Taco | I remember there being problems in the beta for that.... but it had been resolved if I remember correctly | 06:30 |
| Firefishe | alesan: It doesn't seem to be present in 10.04 (my system) in System Settings > User Management | 06:31 |
| alesan | Firefishe, yes of course kubuntu, what is this channel abut? | 06:31 |
| Firefishe | alesan: Got IT! | 06:31 |
| alesan | :) | 06:32 |
| Firefishe | alesan: System Settings > Login Screen > Convenience Tab | 06:32 |
| alesan | I mean I was using it with 10.10 | 06:32 |
| alesan | convenience! | 06:32 |
| alesan | I would have never guessed | 06:32 |
| Aluete | someone knows how to change the server??? | 06:32 |
| Firefishe | alesan: Enable Auto-Login | 06:32 |
| Firefishe | alesan: choose your user, and I guess you're done. I don't know what the Lock Session check box does, though. | 06:33 |
| alesan | yes | 06:33 |
| SIR_Taco | argh... women will be the death of me lol | 06:33 |
| alesan | well it will lock the screen so you have to enter the passwor | 06:33 |
| alesan | d | 06:33 |
| Firefishe | wimmin trubble, Taco? | 06:33 |
| Firefishe | brb...nature calls | 06:35 |
| SIR_Taco | try to be direct with breaking up.... but there always seems to be some catch lol | 06:35 |
| SIR_Taco | guilt trips suck too | 06:36 |
| alesan | thanks! | 06:40 |
| alesan | at the end it was much simpler to edit /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc | 06:40 |
| alesan | but at least that hint allowed me to understand where it was | 06:40 |
| alesan | for whatever reason the control panel did not shoe all my users | 06:41 |
| alesan | root was missing for example | 06:41 |
| SIR_Taco | I thought every girl read that "he's just not that into you" book lol | 06:41 |
| SIR_Taco | need sleep.... good night, good morning, or good day depending on where you are | 06:52 |

| acid | hi :( | 09:25 |
| MK`` | hi :o | 09:26 |
| acid | I just had a _very_ weird and annoying problem | 09:27 |
| acid | all my .kde settings are gone | 09:27 |
| acid | this morning I started my computer fine, kde shows up normally | 09:27 |
| acid | then I let the computer alone and when I came back to screen was black and unresponsive. No hd activity either | 09:28 |
| acid | so I did the RIESUB thing | 09:28 |
| acid | and when it restarted, kdm shows up, without my login (that it normally remember) | 09:29 |
| Keshl | Did you wait a few seconds (About 20) between each keypress when you did that? | 09:29 |
| acid | yes I did | 09:29 |
| Keshl | Okay, continue. | 09:29 |
| acid | and when logged in, I get a sh*ty metacity window and no border | 09:29 |
| Keshl | Sounds like X windows.. | 09:30 |
| acid | I dpkg-reconfigured kdm and choosed gdm instead, rebooted, could should the kde 'session' | 09:30 |
| acid | yep | 09:30 |
| acid | and now I'm a brand new kde installation | 09:30 |
| Keshl | Well, yeah, you reinstalled KDE.. | 09:30 |
| acid | I checked the /home/acid directory | 09:30 |
| acid | it's really wieard | 09:30 |
| Keshl | No, you reinstalled KDE <.< | 09:30 |
| Keshl | Of course you're gunna loose your configureation. | 09:31 |
| acid | how come ? | 09:31 |
| Keshl | You know how two files with the same name can't exist in the same folder? | 09:31 |
| Keshl | That's why. | 09:31 |
| acid | i never asked to "reinstall" kde :( | 09:31 |
| Keshl | dpkg-reconfigure == reinstall. | 09:31 |
| Keshl | Well, not exactly. | 09:31 |
| acid | kdm isn't kde is it ? | 09:31 |
| Keshl | Yep. | 09:31 |
| Keshl | KDE is the entire suite, KDM is the desktop manager. | 09:32 |
| acid | yes | 09:32 |
| Keshl | Chances are when you did REISUB all you had to do was select KDE as your DE. | 09:32 |
| Keshl | There's a button for it. | 09:32 |
| acid | hum | 09:32 |
| Keshl | I forget exactly where (Been a while since I've seen Kubuntu's normal login screen), but you'd just have to switch it to KDE. | 09:32 |
| acid | I didn't know riesub could reinstall a desktop, and wipe the configuration file at the same time :'( | 09:33 |
| Keshl | BUt, yeah. Your problem is user error, it's fine. Stuff happens. | 09:33 |
| Keshl | It didn't. | 09:33 |
| Keshl | X is always there. | 09:33 |
| Keshl | It has to be, KDE runs off of X, even. | 09:33 |
| Keshl | And then you paniced when you saw X, and did dpkg-reconfigure. | 09:33 |
| Keshl | on KDE* | 09:33 |
| Keshl | KDM* | 09:33 |
| Keshl | That wiped your config files. | 09:34 |
| acid | I'm in kde now, my only real problem (configuring kde again isn't a problem), is that I lost my std.ics file and saves for korganizer, that's a REAL bummer for me :( | 09:34 |
| Keshl | At least, that's what I can gather. I'm no expert here, but, it seems pretty logical. | 09:34 |
| Keshl | Backups help. <.< | 09:34 |
| acid | i'll check the .bash_history | 09:34 |
| Keshl | If a file is really important, back it up. | 09:34 |
| acid | Keshl: when I did the RIESUB, all I had was a black screen and unresponsive computer | 09:35 |
| Keshl | Yes, that's true. | 09:35 |
| Keshl | And then when you rebooted and logged in you came to X instead of KDE. | 09:35 |
| acid | what's really odd to | 09:35 |
| Keshl | Sometimes stuff like that happens. | 09:35 |
| Keshl | It's a failsafe. | 09:35 |
| acid | is that my mozilla configuration files are gone too ! | 09:36 |
| Keshl | If KDE caused the error and every login you did then crashed and made you REISUB.. | 09:36 |
| Keshl | ...Okay, now things are weird. <.< | 09:36 |
| acid | I have one question : could it be possible that's I'm right now using the "default" kubuntu installation files, while my real files aren't decrypted somewhere ? | 09:37 |
| Keshl | I have no idea at this point. | 09:37 |
| acid | (I choosed "encrypt home folder" and installation) | 09:37 |
| Keshl | Wait for someone who knows more than me. | 09:37 |
| acid | at | 09:37 |
| acid | on the other hand, my ~/.bash_history file is legit with entries prior to the "bug" | 09:38 |
| acid | :/ | 09:38 |
| * acid is becoming sligthly crazy | 09:38 | |

| sobczyk_ | hi, is there a terminal version of upgrading to natty? the kde upgrade program hangs when setting repositories | 09:59 |
| Keshl | Natty's 11.04 right? | 10:00 |
| Keshl | Just making sure, still kinda half-new around here. | 10:00 |

| valorie | and upgrade from that | 10:02 |
| valorie | of course you can torrent it too | 10:03 |
| sobczyk_ | something is bugged or the core program is bugged | 10:03 |
| sobczyk_ | I meant slow :) | 10:04 |
| sobczyk_ | after downloading the repositories is "hangs" when processing changes | 10:04 |

| maitrey_ | hi, question: I am running ubuntu 10.04 and need a system on my second computer. I am thinking to get 10.10 is it a good idea or does it still have a lots of bugs (as when I've tested it 6month ago). thanks | 10:11 |
| susundberg | maitrey_: current release is 11.04 -- i would go with that if its not a server | 10:13 |
| susundberg | surely it will contain some bugs still, if you want bug free system i suggest sticking with release that has long-term-support | 10:13 |
| susundberg | maitrey_: i am using it (11.04) and it works fine with me | 10:13 |
| maitrey_ | susundberg: ok, i'll that too. It's just that I | 10:14 |
| maitrey_ | have heard it's too much buggy | 10:15 |

| chilmaaster | Hey guys | 12:27 |
| chilmaaster | can someone pls help me out? I'm trying to run a shell script (bash) with a mouseclick but nothing is happening.Script has execution permissions | 12:30 |
| chilmaaster | i'm using Kubuntu 10.04 | 12:30 |
| chilmaaster | no ideas? :( | 12:31 |
| tsimpson | how do you know it doesn't run? | 12:32 |
| Peace- | chilmaaster: | 12:33 |
| chilmaaster | because it should ask for a su pw | 12:33 |
| tsimpson | why? | 12:33 |
| Peace- | run a script | 12:34 |
| Peace- | cd WHEREISTHESCRIPT | 12:34 |
| Peace- | ./nameofscript | 12:34 |
| chilmaaster | well because the file i'm editing trough the script needs su permissions | 12:34 |
| Peace- | sudo ./namescript | 12:34 |
| Peace- | if you need root | 12:34 |
| tsimpson | chilmaaster: if the script doesn't use a GUI password program, how can it ask unless you run it in an interactive terminal? | 12:35 |
| chilmaaster | thx guys 4 your answers. My script is working fine when i run it in cli but now i just want the cli to pop up and run the script (incl. entering the pw) when i click on it in my home folder | 12:37 |
| chilmaaster | the commandline just doesn't appear when i click on it | 12:38 |
| tsimpson | chilmaaster: you will need to replace the command line "sudo" with the graphical "kdesudo" | 12:40 |
| chilmaaster | thank you tsimpson. is that the reason why the comand line doesn't appear? | 12:41 |
| tsimpson | because you need a terminal open to see it, when you run the script the script runs, just not in a terminal | 12:42 |
| aseigo | anyone know where i can get a look at the patches applied to kubuntu's kdeplasma-addons package (if any)? | 12:42 |

| tsimpson | aseigo: also #kubuntu-devel should be able to help | 12:46 |
| tsimpson | chilmaaster: you'd need to create a link (shortcut) to the script and choose an icon for that afaik, the icon for the script file is based on the type of file | 12:47 |
| aseigo | ah, there's a -devel channel. thanks.. will check there if that link doesn't pan out. cheers.. | 12:48 |
| aseigo | tsimpson: thanks. that was it :) | 12:49 |

| pjpj_ | can you access the synaptiks touchpad management programs from the system settings? or do you always have to run it as a separate program? | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | pjpj_, system settings input devices | 16:18 |
| pjpj_ | BlueKaj: I already looked there, it does have an input devices configuration page but it is not the same as the synaptiks program (i can't seem to turn of the touch pad from the system settings, only buy way of synaptiks) | 16:21 |
| Peace- | test | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | pjpj_, there was a small app for turning off the touchpad triggered by a keystroke , sorry but I can't recall the name | 16:24 |
| pjpj_ | i don't mind having to run the synaptiks program by itself. but it just seems wierd that it is not integrated with the system settings-- it feels logical to me that there is where you should go if you wish to turn the touch pad on/off. | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | yup, I used a mouse with my laptop, so the touchpad was permanently turned off | 16:27 |
| pjpj_ | having a desktop widget or panel icon to click would also nice a nice thing (along with the option to set a hotkey) | 16:27 |

| naught101 | what diconico07 said... | 17:02 |

| Linkmaster | Yeah, I suggest DigiKam. I just tried to get Gwenview to show subfolders, and I couldn't :l. But DigiKam is very nice | 17:05 |
| kubu2 | picassa will do it | 17:06 |
| kubu2 | everything on your HD | 17:07 |

| Linkmaster | They can..but they need to write a whole new code set for it | 17:25 |
| Linkmaster | Its BECAUSE they run linux actually :P | 17:25 |

| James147 | Linkmaster: :) still shows its possible... | 17:25 |
| Linkmaster | Companies don't want to pay for OS X/Windows on the phones/readers, so they grab a frew kernel, make mods and they are done | 17:25 |

| ryrych | what is your opinion on Firefox in Linux/Kubuntu? Do you feel that it behaves like a monster (slow, chugging)? | 18:39 |
| ryrych | I asked this question because I have a problem with Fx and my jQuery plugin. Could you be so kind and test something? | 18:41 |
| ryrych | it isn’t my code that is flawed but just Fx. It is OK in Chromium, Opera on Linux and Fx, IE on Windows | 18:41 |
| ryrych | I just want to make sure | 18:42 |
| ryrych | …make sure if I should file a bug report :) | 18:43 |
| simion314 | ryrych: if you have scrolling problems on all sites then it could be the video driver and the effects | 18:43 |
| sean_w | Can the 32 bit OS use 16GB of RAM? | 18:45 |
| ryrych | simion314: I have a problem with resizing browser window – I attached an event handler to the window object and when window size changes, I scale an image in my lightbox | 18:45 |
| James147 | sean_w: yes, but no applivation can use more then about 3 or 4 | 18:45 |

| James147 | sean_w: and only with a spical kernel | 18:45 |
| James147 | ^^ I think the server one is compiled to let it | 18:45 |
| James147 | sean_w: normally best to just use a 64bit os though | 18:46 |
| simion314 | ryrych: give me a link | 18:47 |
| James147 | sean_w: see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ fro more info | 18:47 |
| ryrych | simion314: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1220038/lb/examples/test.html, open the last image (that below 2,2 label), when it loads (4.5Mega) please resize the window a few times and tell me if it chugs or not, OK? | 18:48 |
| ryrych | simion314: I would like to make sure where I should file a report: X, Firefox, Ku? | 18:48 |
| simion314 | ryrych: it did not work,and when i closed firefox it crashed | 18:50 |
| simion314 | ryrych: does it workl in other browsers? | 18:50 |
| ryrych | simion314: yup, it works for sure: tested in many browsers | 18:51 |
| simion314 | it could be a bug in the library you are using | 18:51 |
| ryrych | simion314: could you open it in other browser? | 18:51 |
| simion314 | then ask for someone on other distro but with same firefox version(4) and see if in that distro works | 18:52 |
| simion314 | ryrych: try #firefox or #javascript also | 18:53 |
| ryrych | simion314: just gone to #firefox in mozilla channel | 18:54 |
| darkarchon | hi all | 18:55 |
| darkarchon | does xinerama + composite work | 18:55 |
| darkarchon | ? | 18:55 |
| darkarchon | i seem to be unable to enable desktop effects after enabling xinerama | 18:55 |
| James147 | darkarchon: kde dosnt yet support seperate screens as far as I know... best to use twinview | 18:56 |
| James147 | darkarchon: and from what I know xinerama is largly depercated | 18:57 |
| darkarchon | will applications in twinview be maximized to both displays? | 18:58 |
| darkarchon | :/ | 18:58 |
| katsrc | is there a way to install codecs individually instead of installing kubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:58 |
| katsrc | ? | 18:58 |
| James147 | darkarchon: most will not... wine still has some issues i think | 18:58 |
| darkarchon | mkay | 18:58 |
| darkarchon | because i have one display in pivot, and this would be VERY unfortunate | 18:59 |
| James147 | katsrc: yes... install the packages that it depends on | 18:59 |
| katsrc | James147: ok, thanks | 18:59 |
| darkarchon | oh well, i'll have a look at twinview | 18:59 |

| mpadair00 | yeah...compiz...there's one feature of compiz that I can't seem to live without...opacify | 20:54 |
| mpadair00 | other than that, i'd be fine with kwin | 20:54 |

| multipass|2 | hi, anyone know if the new kubuntu has the same compiz changes as ubuntu 11.04? | 21:29 |
| multipass|2 | mainly i wanna see if edge flipping works | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | multipass|2, edge flipping ? | 21:30 |
| multipass|2 | cursor or dragging window past the edge of screen | 21:30 |
| multipass|2 | flips to next destktop if there is one | 21:30 |
| * BluesKaj checks desktop effects | 21:31 | |
| BluesKaj | yup | 21:31 |
| multipass|2 | yeah ubuntu destroyed alot of functional compiz | 21:31 |
| multipass|2 | lol :\ | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | no need for compiz for that effect | 21:31 |
| multipass|2 | how so? | 21:31 |
| multipass|2 | ive been looking for a way around it | 21:32 |
| multipass|2 | in new ubuntu, u can still enable the abilities, but they dont actually work | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | just moved my cursor to the left top corner and all pages are displayed on one scrn | 21:33 |
| multipass|2 | well | 21:33 |
| multipass|2 | the effect im looking for will switch to adjacent desktop | 21:33 |
| multipass|2 | very effective for the web dev i do | 21:34 |
| BluesKaj | gotta have a decent graphics card for these effects | 21:34 |
| multipass|2 | i dont want to see a expo of everything | 21:34 |
| multipass|2 | gx 460 nvidia :) | 21:34 |
| BluesKaj | multipass|2, theres the desktops widget | 21:35 |
| multipass|2 | well ill try out new kubuntu reguardless | 21:35 |
| multipass|2 | the new kde keeps tempting me | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | it flips the desktops depending on your desktop settings | 21:35 |
| multipass|2 | but if you go into compiz > desktop wall > edge flipping, does this are exist? | 21:36 |
| multipass|2 | area* | 21:36 |
| BluesKaj | dunno, haven't bothered with compiz since karmic | 21:36 |
| BluesKaj | I use the desktop cube animation | 21:37 |
| multipass|2 | 9.04 karmic? | 21:38 |
| multipass|2 | or when was that | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | about 9.10 | 21:39 |

| foormea | i have an external hard drive with files that belong to 1000:1000. i have a laptop that uses a different user/group, say 1357:2468. do i have a way to allow write to the external drive without going o+rwx on the external drive's directories? | 23:53 |
| foormea | can i change group ownership of the directories on the external drive to 2468? will user 1000 still have ownership and rights on the directories?? | 23:54 |
