[01:54] I want to let you know that I solved my problem with a Perl-script i found in the web [01:55] what is the shortuct to display Advamced > Special application settings. I basically got ridof the title bar and can't figure out to get the right clikc menu on title popup. [02:01] so I change my /etc/default/grub file from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text quiet splash" and now Ubuntu starts in text mode, the problem is that when Ubuntu finish booting up I need to press Ctrl + Alt + F[1-6] to log in, is there any way to boot to any of the ttys? [02:02] gremset: alt+F3 [02:02] James147: that is it, thanks [02:03] lsv: what happens if you remove the "text quite splash" entirly? [02:04] I don't know. Haven't tried that. [02:06] I shall try that and be right back. [02:12] James147: after removing "text quiet splash" and just leaving "", Ubuntu booting to the GUI login screen [02:13] lsv: and you want to it boot to the shell? try adding "3" to the end of that line instead (boots to init level 3 "consol mode" [02:14] James147: like this? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="3" [02:15] yes [02:15] lsv: note you can reboot and edit the menu there to test it rather then running grub-update all the time :) [02:17] James147: at the grub screen right? Just press 'e' to edit the command, right? [02:17] yea [02:18] ok, I'll give it a try :D. I'll be back in a few minutes. Thanks for the help ;] [02:26] James147: Ended up back on GUI login... D: [02:45] Hi, does the upstart system have a specific command that is supposed to be used to alter the inetd configuration files, (analogous to chkconfig) or do we just do it the old way, by editing them and sending a HUP to inetd? [02:58] bronze: you talking about /etc/init.d/* or /etc/init/* [02:58] frogonwheels: neither, /etc /inetd [03:01] bronze: reading properly now. you can use reload inetd if inetd is a new script.. otherwise /etc/init.d/inent reload should do the trick no? [03:02] bronze: by new script - I mean defined in /etc/init/ for proper use with upstart config vs old-style sys V compat. [03:02] I dunno. the inetd daemon has to re-read its conf files to get the new info in. I dont know what the reload command does. Isn't reload for the upstart system? [03:03] heh, our responses passed each other in transit [03:04] either way, /etcinit.d/inetd reload should tell you if it's a new-style upstart script [03:05] frogonwheels: ok, yes, looks like reload is the answer. Thank you. [03:05] bronze: man reload look like it links to initctl [03:06] initctl? sound like a foreign swear word! a particularly potent one at that. :-) [03:07] bronze: *ctl is a fairly common name for programs that send signals to others , but yes :) [03:07] in the inetd script reload sends aHUP signal to inetd and inetd re-reads its conf file when it gets a HUP. [03:07] bronze: that would be again, a fairly common way o fdoing it. [03:08] mucho gracias [03:08] bronze: no probs. [04:48] Hi guys. I am stuck with one pc upgrading to kubuntu 11.04. When trying to run the installer, my partitions don't show anymore and I can't even add new partitions. Anyone there who can help?

Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [05:21] i'm reinstalling kubuntu 11.04---my question is this---is there a faster way of doing/getting the updates? because when i check the install updates while the install is taking place it takes like 5-6 hours [05:25] Preecher: slow network? [05:26] dan no----its always slow when it gets to the language packs for me [05:26] dan_l [05:27] Preecher: 5-7 hours sounds a little extreme to me. I'm not sure what's going on there. [05:27] dial-up? [05:27] it is extreme [05:28] no dls [05:28] dsl [05:29] Are the 4.6.3 packages going to be released for Kubuntu 10.10 as well? [05:29] i can do an install in about 20 mins if i dont do the updates during install---is it ok to do that tht way [05:29] yeah thats fine [05:30] Has anyone had streaming audio issues since upgrading?

[06:35] I just got a nifty Kubuntu install going, and would like to personalize a bit. But when I go to the theme manager, and install a new theme from the net, it doesn't show any new ones, even though I'm told it's installed. Help? [06:37] @TeslaTony: What I do sometimes if that doesn't work is to go to kde-look.org and download and install manually still using the theme manager [06:39] dundee: Ah. So something of a known bug? [06:42] @TeslaTony: Well I haven't been changing the default theme for sometime now. I know it used to happen and that's how I usually solve the problem. [06:43] dundee: Fair enough. Thanks. [06:51] is it normal for the software package icon to keep popping up in my system tray? [06:51] periodically [06:53] Magnusson, does it have updates for you to install? [06:53] it hasn't said so [06:54] i thought it might just be that it was checking for updates but want to be sure [07:07] can someone direct me to a way to get a cuda supported media player? [07:07] does vlc support it? [07:12] nm..looks like it does :) [07:12] awesome === bunny_ is now known as bunnycarrots [07:36] So I have just done a clean install of Kubuntu. I have some issues with my mouse(focus issues) It's a known issue with the mouse and there is this known fix: (http://fcns.eu/2011/04/cyborg-rat-7-mouse-under-linux/) [07:36] But [07:36] Xorg.conf has been depreciated [07:37] So... how would I go about fixing this? [07:37] I run GNOME on my laptop, have tried the fix there and it works flawlessly. Just not sure how to go about this on the KDE end of things. [07:39] you can still use the xorg.conf file [07:39] it doesn't exist [07:39] you can create it [07:39] oh, really? [07:39] yup [07:39] I use it to set nvidia options [07:39] well... even with cuda this thing has a problem keepign up with 1080p [07:39] :) [07:39] vlc skips [07:40] I wonder if this helps to get you started https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [07:40] although it does a much better job than dragon or mplayer without cuda [07:40] is there anything that needs to be in there other than the fix? like some heading or such? [07:40] cause AFIK there is no other way to set nvidia based device options without it [07:40] which is odd because the same hardware running coreavc kicked ass for this sort of thing [07:41] i'll pastebin my xorg.conf [07:41] so you can change it to your liking [07:41] bunnycarrots: I'm not entirely sure, you can try simply having that part first [07:41] heh [07:41] there's no more xorgconfig ? [07:41] gennro: it's better if he had the absolute minimum required in the conf [07:41] :) well.. used to be xf86config [07:41] where you had to go through the questions? [07:41] * Macer remembers that torture [07:42] Tm_T Actually I think I solved it. The ati drivers created a very basic xorg conf for me, so I'm adding it to the end [07:42] awesomesauce [07:42] thanks everyone~! ^_^ [07:42] bunnycarrots: ah, that's very good [07:42] http://pastebin.com/Fb9vV9af [07:42] i sure wish this cuda stuff worked better [07:42] i'll have to test it out some more [07:43] at least vlc finally supports it :) that's always a plus [07:43] reboot time, wish me luck xD and thanks again [07:45] hmmm what all supports CUDA in linux.... very few things right?

[13:24] kurtul: well in the phonon audio i tried it, i haven't tried it with packages, is that what you mean? === shrinivasan is now known as shrini-afk [13:25] ashwin: you can also try in the commandline killall chromium-browser [13:25] kurtul:no chrome process in it [13:26] arnoud_: yes. not because i know something. but whenever i have sound problems with skype, i remove pulseaudio package and it fixes the problem. that's why i thought it might help [13:28] still it intrigues me to no end which program can just 'change' my internal audio setup (which has both my coax digital and my analog output at the samen time.) i have an idea that it can be amarok, but i'm not sure how since it just happens in the middle of normal playing [13:29] ashwin: what is the problem with chromium actually? [13:30] it is not responding [13:31] ashwin: can you try: ps aux| grep chromium [13:32] does that give any output? [13:32] ashwin 2234 0.0 0.0 4156 864 pts/1 S+ 18:02 0:00 grep --color=auto chromium [13:35] ashwin: do you mean it doesn't respond after you killed the process of just right after you launched it? [13:36] after i launched [13:37] i'm not sure how linux handles plugins or add-ons with chromium.. are they all in ~.chromium/ ? [13:38] i dont know [13:38] i just deleted it [13:38] ashwin: do you still have chromium frozen on the screen? [13:39] otherwise kill -9 PID (of chromium would do best :D) [13:40] kurturl:no,it is in taskbar for sometime [13:41] can you try: kill -9 2234 [13:41] no such process [13:42]
