[00:59] <Sir_Gabriel> Hi Valorie
[01:00] <valorie> hello Sir_Gabriel
[01:01] <valorie> you missed an excellent weekend
[01:01] <Sir_Gabriel> I did? 0.o
[01:01] <Sir_Gabriel> thats terrible
[01:01] <valorie> weren't we discussing linuxfest NW?
[01:01] <valorie> or is my memory unreliable
[01:01] <Sir_Gabriel> yeah I know.. I didn't get to go.
[01:02] <valorie> well, plan on it for next year
[01:02] <valorie> :-)
[01:02] <Sir_Gabriel> maybe.
[01:02] <valorie> did you join the loco mail list?
[01:02] <valorie> we're trying to get a Geeknik together
[01:03] <Sir_Gabriel> no, things got crazy here
[01:03] <Sir_Gabriel> is that like a linuxfest?
[01:03] <valorie> uh oh
[01:03] <valorie> no, just a picnic for geeks
[01:03] <valorie> burgers, hotdogs, potato salad, etc.
[01:03] <Sir_Gabriel> yeah, 7 ppl got evicted, had no power for a day, it's all crazy
[01:04] <Sir_Gabriel> ahh sounds cool.
[01:04] <valorie> wow
[01:04] <valorie> what happened to trigger all that?
[01:04] <valorie> oops, let's take this to #kubuntu-offtopic
[01:04] <valorie> sorry for the noise, people
[01:04] <Sir_Gabriel> they found that the maintenance man had tepped into three electrical meters and stuff.
[01:09] <MTecknology> http://staging.profarius.com/ <-- kinda tried to base it off the kde colors; any opinions?
[01:11] <Sir_Gabriel> looks great to me
[01:12] <MTecknology> :)
[01:12] <Sir_Gabriel> what's it for?
[01:12] <Sir_Gabriel> I mean is this a new community site?
[01:13] <MTecknology> this isn't
[01:13] <MTecknology> i've been working on drupal stuff for community websites
[01:13] <Sir_Gabriel> !drupal
[01:14] <Sir_Gabriel> no idea what drupal is...
[01:15] <MTecknology> CMS
[01:15] <MTecknology> like joomla or wordpress
[01:15] <Sir_Gabriel> oh the layout thingy
[01:15] <MTecknology> drupal is more of a whole framework though
[01:16] <Sir_Gabriel> oh
[01:27] <MTecknology> Sir_Gabriel: so you think it's good enough for if someone would want to use it for a kubuntu based website?
[01:29] <Sir_Gabriel> definitely
[02:23] <stretchjax> hi can someone here help me with grub
[02:24] <mase_wk> stretchjax: we don't know if we can help because you haven't told us the problem
[02:26] <stretchjax> well i had restore my grub after installing win xp and it dont show my vista or xp install
[02:28] <mase_wk> well at least you have freed up a partition :)
[02:28] <mase_wk> you should be able to add those back fairly easily though. I'm sure someone will be able to assist you.
[02:28] <mase_wk> although i am surprised that google doesn't return any results
[02:35] <stretchjax> it retured alot
[02:36] <mase_wk> hmm what search terms did you use
[02:39] <stretchjax> adding new os to grub loader
[02:46] <mase_wk> stretchjax: try natty grub windows XP
[02:46] <mase_wk> that seems to return some decent resultss for me
[02:53] <stretchjax> ok it says to run sudo gedit  /boot/grub/menu.lst when i do i get file not found
[03:24] <Razal> Is anyone successfully running g15macro on 64-bit Natty? I would like to know in case I don't have to start whacking at source code.
[05:36] <preecher> gwibber-choqok or qwit?
[05:36] <mase_wk> choqok is what i use YMMV
[05:37] <preecher> mase_wk thx ill try it---gwibber always seemed kind laggy to me anyway
[08:14] <tasslehoff> The deafening silence is a sign that 11.04 is a solid Kubuntu-release (nobody needs help with anything)? :)
[08:15] <tasslehoff> I'm pondering an install of kubuntu-desktop :)
[08:16] <szal> the deafening silence is more a sign of the wrong time of day for ppl to storm the channel w/ questions ;)
[08:18] <MK`> Heh
[08:22] <tasslehoff> :)
[08:27] <dml> всем привет

[08:42] <asraniel> i'm trying to use the new sama filesharing in kubuntu
[08:43] <mase_wk> asraniel: new samba filesharing ?
[08:43] <asraniel> but somehow i can't set the permissions. well, i can set them, but the get cleared again if i reopen the dialog
[08:43] <asraniel> mase_wk: yes, by new i mean that its integrated into dolphin now
[08:43] <mase_wk> what is different to the old samba file sharing ?
[08:43] <asraniel> that i don't have to edit config files?
[08:43] <asraniel> well, i will have to now, because the dolphin plugin does not seem to work
[08:43] <JontheEchidna> asraniel: I'm sitting with the guy who wrote the new samba stuff right now. He says that it is a known bug
[08:44] <JontheEchidna> asraniel: I'm sitting with the guy who wrote the new samba stuff right now. He says that it is a known bug
[08:44] <asraniel> JontheEchidna: great :) looking forward to the bugfix
[08:45] <asraniel> JontheEchidna: is there a workaround currently?
[08:45] <JontheEchidna> you have to set up the unix permissions on the permissions tab in the "properties" menu of the file
[08:46] <JontheEchidna> and add permissions to the user that you want to share it with
[08:46] <JontheEchidna> a bit ugly, but at least you don't have to muck around with samba config :)
[08:46] <asraniel> JontheEchidna: i kept them as default. i want to share with "myself", so i don't really have to change any unix permissions
[08:47] <JontheEchidna> asraniel: rbelem is the man you want to talk to
[08:47] <rbelem> :-D
[08:47] <asraniel> ok. then i think windows is the problem. because i use the same username for both computers, but when connecting to the samba share, windows insists on adding COMPUTERNAME\username to the login
[08:47] <rbelem> asraniel, oh! another thing that you have to do
[08:48] <rbelem> asraniel, smbpasswd -a username
[08:48] <rbelem> sudo
[08:48] <asraniel> rbelem: works
[08:48] <rbelem> asraniel, :-)
[08:48] <asraniel> would never have found that ;)
[08:49] <rbelem> asraniel, this bug will be fixed soon
[08:49] <asraniel> rbelem: thx very much :) hope that gets fixed in a future version! because its really handy :)
[08:49] <rbelem> asraniel, you r very welcome :-)
[08:49] <asraniel> even if my dream solution would be if windows could just mount ssh folders.. but well
[08:49] <rbelem> asraniel, you can count with that in a few weeks
[08:50] <rbelem> :-)
[09:51] <yoga> when I click an link from dophin, it cannot open the browser and says "cannot find the program 'firefox-desktop'
[09:51] <yoga> "
[09:51] <yoga> any idea?
[09:52] <andrewh192> you might need to reinstall firefox
[09:53] <andrewh192> that's my best guys
[09:53] <andrewh192> guess rather
[10:00] <szal> a link from Dolphin?
[10:48] <yoga> szal: an entry from Dophin, which was created by drag and drop a web page from Firefoax
[11:14] <szal> yoga`: how do you drag and drop a website from Firefox?
[11:25] <Kaspi> hey guys
[11:26]  * Kaspi is starting to like his KDE
[11:27]  * szal has been liking KDE for ~7 years now
[11:29]  * Kaspi was using Gnome until got banged with Unity
[11:30] <Kaspi> I wanted to make my desktop "truly mine" anyways, that's why I tried KDE
[12:42] <vlodkow> hello
[12:43] <alvin> Anyone on 4.6.3 willing to test something before I file a bug? In Dolphin, go to /home/<yourusername>/Pictures. Activate 'Preview'. Also, select a picture. Do you a) see previews, b) In the information pane, see a preview, or is the picture treated as a video (with a play button and slider)?
[12:49] <szal> how do I get 4.6.3 if not from natty-backports?
[12:50] <Peace-> szal: compile?
[12:50] <Peace-> alvin: i can see video on dolphin kde 4.6.3
[12:50] <szal> Peace-: are you crazy? ;)
[12:50] <Peace-> oh i have compiled a ltos of stuff
[12:50] <Peace-> like ksnapshot
[12:51] <Peace-> 3 seconds and i did the debian
[12:51] <Peace-> :D
[12:51] <szal> the question was rather, is 4.6.3 to be found in natty-backports or elsewhere?
[12:53] <yofel> szal: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-release-463
[12:53] <szal> tx
[13:09] <mime1111> hey people. some plasmoids like solar system or matrix, once in desktop, show a message about a bad script with a red X, any idea?
[13:09] <mime1111> thnx
[13:11] <alvin> Peace, so it's a bug?
[13:13] <mime1111> hey people. some plasmoids like solar system or matrix, once in desktop, show a message about a bad script with a red X, any idea? i've tried manually install also, python and kde to date...
[13:13] <mime1111> im tired :O=
[13:18] <szal> yofel: how do I add the repo on the cmdline?  (either by command or by editing a sources file)
[13:18] <yofel> the repository guide explains that, but here: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa
[13:19] <szal> yofel: no the repository guide doesn't mention this exact bit
[13:19] <Kaspi> szal: I believe you can as well just add a line to the sources list file and run apt-get update
[13:19] <yofel> odd, it was somewhere
[13:19] <yofel> Kaspi: he can, but add-apt-repository adds the GPG key too
[13:19] <yofel> so less work
[13:19] <Kaspi> sure
[13:19] <Peace-> wooa
[13:20] <Peace-> bye bye guys
[13:20] <Kaspi> Peace-: seeya
[13:20] <yofel> cu
[13:20] <Peace-> xD i did the activity unity-mac like
[13:21] <yofel> ^^
[13:22] <szal> :o
[13:22] <szal> anyhoo, updating now
[13:24] <szal> yofel: is there a complimentary cmd to remove repos?
[13:27] <szal> what a version name..  "4.6.3really4.6.2" *rofl*
[13:29] <yofel> szal: ah, about that, 4.6.3 had messed up Icons, so it was force-downgraded to 4.6.2, and that's the sanest way to do that...
[13:30] <szal> yofel: ok, but still sounds funny ^^
[13:30] <yofel> szal: add-apt-repository has a --remove switch, though I'm not sure how to use it
[13:30] <yofel> right ^^
[13:34] <szal> alvin: no problem here w/ a JPEG I copied over to have something there ;)
[13:37] <Kaspi> what are activities for?
[13:45] <szal> no friggin' idea, I don't use them, or at least I don't normally change the default activity
[13:54] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:56] <BluesKaj> KDE 4.6.3, so far so good
[14:09] <poyntz> what is libreoffice?
[14:09] <poyntz> how does it differ from openoffice?
[14:09] <Pici> Its a replacement for OpenOffice.
[14:09] <poyntz> is the latest libre better than the latest openoffice?
[14:09] <Pici> The developers forked it off of OO.o because Oracle now owns it.
[14:10] <poyntz> so they're identical?
[14:10] <Pici> Nearly
[14:10] <poyntz> which one's better?
[14:10] <Pici> Libreoffice is getting more development, so I guess thats 'better'
[14:10] <poyntz> ahh
[14:10] <[^_^]> poyntz: imagine that openoffice got duplicated and both copies go their own way
[14:11] <poyntz> is one going to be merged in with the kde environment?
[14:12] <poyntz> eg, so it looks like the rest of kde, aka scroll bars, menues, etc..
[14:12] <poyntz> system fonts, themes, ...
[14:18] <Isis___> hello, should I find kde 4.6.3 in the repository?? im running 4.6.2, and 4.6.3 is not there?
[14:19] <gvandeweyer> is there any experience on installing compiz on kubuntu 11.04. I had to install latest version for video support (dell optiplex 990 with intel HD2000 video card), but would like to enable compiz
[14:20] <bigbrovar> Isis___: the update is only available via the kubuntu backport ppa
[14:20] <gvandeweyer> however, the kubuntu guide just seems to be a copy of maverick (even numbers are not adapted yet... ) :-)
[14:21] <bigbrovar> Isis___: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-release-463 u
[14:23] <gvandeweyer> and since the system-settings=>advanced menu is not present at all, I'm not that willing to start the experiment yet.
[14:23] <bigbrovar> gvandeweyer: I haven't used compiz on kde 4 before so I wouldn't know.  u can check systemsettings --> default applications. under the windows manager tab, check use a different windows manager and see if compiz shows up as an option
[14:25] <bigbrovar> gvandeweyer: just not that compiz is not recommended for kde, kwin the kde windows manager is very capable and integrates better with kde. Its also more stable
[14:29] <gvandeweyer> bigbrovar: I know it's more stable, but I'm *very* used to the cylinder layout of my desktops that I can drag and spin with the mouse. Or is it possible with kwin now to alt-click to switch desktops?
[14:30]  * gvandeweyer *brb
[14:39] <bigbrovar> gvandeweyer: u can configure how to switch btw desktop goto systemsettings > workspace behaviour > under the screen edges tab.
[14:40] <bigbrovar> gvandeweyer: u can also check the virtual desktop and workspace tab for anything interesting
[14:43] <gvandeweyer> hmm, compiz = failure ... emerald segfaults, so there are no window borders.
[14:43] <tsimpson> emerald is unmaintained and basically dead
[14:44] <bigbrovar> gvandeweyer: u would be better off betting with kwin. just check the options I told u
[14:44] <gvandeweyer> I just did :-)
[14:45] <gvandeweyer> It does not give just the right feeling however. I guess I'll have to get used to it
[14:45] <ani> guys whenever i startup kubuntu i drop to shell. i try startx and it says Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation... I searched online, and it says check if /var/tmp folder exists. It does exist and I also cleaned /var/tmp and /tmp. How do i get xorg to work again?
[14:53] <BluesKaj> ani , the first thing to try isthe recovery kernel, then in the dialog "repair broken packages", then boot normally. Once ay the desktop make sure you have the recommended graphics driver installed in /kmenu/apps/sytem/additional drivers
[14:54] <BluesKaj> scuse my KB batteries are low again
[15:04] <fxrh> hi! I want to connect my laptop (dell vostro 1510) to a projector/second monitor and I want to clone the screen. The laptop key doesn't seem to work, so how can I do that with the kde or nivida config dialogs?
[15:05] <fxrh> I was able to create two different screens (with TwinView), but that isn't what I want to have...
[15:05] <natman> :fxrh does the sys settings not help you?
[15:06] <fxrh> natman: I didn't found such an option
[15:07] <fxrh> in the monitor section was just one display when I disabled it with the nvidia config, and if I enabled TwinView, there was no option for cloning
[15:07] <natman> :fxrh inside system settings-display, there should be two areas to control each monitor, as far as i rember it will allow you to clone the image
[15:08] <fxrh> natman: when I go into display & monitor, which of the three modules?
[15:09] <natman> fxrh: sorry need to leave , best of luck, perhaps restarting with the laptop still connected to the external monitor might, that used to work for me
[15:09] <fxrh> natman: thanks, ill try that
[15:09] <natman> fxrh:  hit Identify outputs and look at the screens and numbers they are kinda big :)
[15:09] <natman> bye
[15:22] <ani> BluesKaj: thanks. It worked :)
[15:23] <BluesKaj> ani , cool ")
[16:17] <magepsycho> guys i have some issue with the fonts
[16:17] <magepsycho> http://postimage.org/image/bd8unq04/full/
[16:17] <magepsycho> can you check the pic please
[16:30] <DarthFrog> magepsycho: You need to ask in #Ubuntu, not here.
[16:32] <shane4kubuntu> Ok, I have sent 2 printings to the printer, of which neither printed, and no printer que???
[16:46] <eristikophiles> can anyone tell me where the System Settings executable is?
[16:46] <eristikophiles> (in Natty)
[16:47] <eristikophiles> or, if anyone can tell me why since upgrading i can no longer change any settings because it says i lack authorization, *and* it doesn't ever present a prompt to put my password in / sudo in
[17:19] <l2s2> Hi, my webcam video is upside down on Skype. Do i need to install the driver from http://linuxtv.org/repo/ ?
[17:21] <l2s2> lsusb gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/606558/
[17:22] <CtrlAltCa> die in a fire.
[17:46] <Soupermanito> hello how does one localizes, i mean change the lang packs etc, fastly? like from an apt-get line?
[17:49] <DarthFrog> eristikophiles: If you want to find where an executable is in your path, use the "which" command.  "which systemsettings" returns  /usr/bin/systemsettings.
[17:49] <eristikophiles> ah.. ok
[17:49] <eristikophiles> thanks
[17:50] <eristikophiles> cool, now i can sudo to it.. though i really don't get why it can't ask me for a password instead of spitting errors about authorization
[17:51] <DarthFrog> eristikophiles: File a bug report, please.
[17:59] <eristikophiles> hm.. where?
[18:00] <eristikophiles> can't seem to find it on kubuntu site
[18:25] <DarthFrog> !launchpad | eristikophiles
[18:29] <eristikophiles> thanks
[18:33] <eristikophiles> heh i can't report a bug .. says "invalid openid transaction" and stalls at the page
[18:52] <Babalau> http://www.clubulfoto.com/concurs/concursul-lunii-mai/f944648c
[18:54] <eristikophiles> so i have this other problem. phonon shows all my audio devices, and i can prefer them like i want, but they appear grayed out and the only active one is "Dummy Output" and "Dummy Input"
[18:54] <eristikophiles> and there is no sound, not from internal speakers (which are like, full speakers on this box), nor usb headphones
[18:57] <bigbrovar> eristikophiles: this happens even when u reboot the machine?
[18:57] <BluesKaj> eristikophiles, when you click test /dummy in phonon , is there sound ?
[19:00] <eristikophiles> no testing does nothing. the button does get stuck though. and yes, i've rebooted a few times since the upgrade
[19:04] <bigbrovar> eristikophiles: can u try an kubuntu 11.4 livecd to see if it works there?
[19:06] <eristikophiles> a liveCD?
[19:07] <eristikophiles> i'm running 11.04
[19:07] <eristikophiles> my sound worked before the upgrade
[19:27] <Spaz_Dynamic> when I run some fullscreen games, my left monitor goes out and the picture that was on it appears on the right one. Others will display on both monitors (cloned). I'd like to fix this, but first, is there any way other than restarting the computer to fix the display back to two monitors with an extended desktop? Such as restarting a process or something?
[19:33] <bigbrovar> eristikophiles: did u do a clean install or u did an upgrade, if u did an upgrade instead of a clean install. it might be a good idea to test from a livecd if the problem exist or was something caused by a broken upgrade
[19:50] <eristikophiles> bigbrovar- ah i see now
[19:50] <eristikophiles> i used the kpackagekit upgrader
[19:52] <bigbrovar> eristikophiles: well tbh I never do or recommend upgrades, always do a clean install since all 3 years I have been running linux. I even make sure to clean out the hidden files in my home dir (safe for kopete and kmail configs)
[19:53] <bigbrovar> that way I start fresh
[19:53] <eristikophiles> i didn't want to lose my settings
[19:54] <bigbrovar> eristikophiles: yeah I understand, :) anyway just try the livecd, we are not certain what the cause is
[19:54] <bigbrovar> just want to troubleshoot and try and see if from a fresh setup does ur sound work? so the livecd is one way to find out
[19:55] <bigbrovar> eristikophiles: u can also create a new user (call it foo) and see if sound works from there
[19:56] <eristikophiles> i'll try a livecd at some point. rebooting is a tedious process though
[19:56] <eristikophiles> this is an old refurbished box.. P4
[19:56] <eristikophiles> i don't want to reboot right now :)
[20:13] <bigbrovar> eristikophiles: u can always create a new user
[20:14] <bigbrovar> and try the sound from there
[20:31] <balagexp> hi
[20:34] <LjL> natty - how can i use the Start and Menu keys as KDE shortcuts?
[20:36] <Peace-> LjL: ?
[20:36] <Peace-> LjL: unity like?
[20:36] <szal> LjL: for what?
[20:37] <LjL> Peace-, szal: i don't know what unity is like, but i always had Menu bring up Yakuake in KDE3, and i'd like Start to bring up KRunner
[20:37] <shane4kubuntu> Ok, this should be a simple question for you KDE'rs, in nautilus, I always clicked on a file to select it, then I could delete it, copy it or paste it, by right clicking on it, every time I click on a file in dolphin it opens it, how would one just select it??
[20:38] <Peace-> shane4kubuntu: ok... it's simple
[20:38] <szal> LjL: Systemsettings -> Common Appearance and Behaviour -> Shortcuts and Hotkeys
[20:38] <Peace-> shane4kubuntu: systemsettings==> top right there is a filter bar , type mouse
[20:39] <szal> shane4kubuntu: I think I told you that before..  press Ctrl & click
[20:39] <asraniel> shane4kubuntu: into the mous configuration of your system, and change opening from singe click to double click
[20:39] <Peace-> shane4kubuntu: then... go in the mouse windwos , set double click...
[20:39] <Peace-> shane4kubuntu: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/05/12/plasma-desktopGH4845.jpg
[20:40] <Peace-> shane4kubuntu: btw even in the settings of dolphin there is an option instead to go on system setting for lazy man like me...
[20:41] <Peace-> shane4kubuntu: dolphin settings ==> http://wstaw.org/m/2011/05/12/plasma-desktopAv4845.jpg
[20:48] <shane4kubuntu> Thanks Peace- szal asraniel  but is that what you all do, is change it from single to double click?
[20:48] <asraniel> shane4kubuntu: pretty much
[20:48]  * szal doesn't
[20:48] <shane4kubuntu> I mean, I guess I don't mind doing that, but just wondered if there was a KDE way
[20:49] <shane4kubuntu> oh, right szal does ctrl & click, but that requires two hands.
[20:49] <asraniel> shane4kubuntu: for usability reasons kde decided that its better to have single click. most users don't agree i suppose. But the advante of kde is that you can change it easily and fast, not like some other DEs..
[20:49] <szal> shane4kubuntu: that _is_ the KDE way ^^
[20:49] <szal> or, rather, the Unix way
[20:49] <asraniel> shane4kubuntu: you can also hover over the icon, and then a little plus icon apears that lets you select it
[20:49] <asraniel> shane4kubuntu: that i use actually, because its easier than shift + click for multiple files
[20:49] <masand> Hi ev'rybody
[20:49] <shane4kubuntu> asraniel: right, I have done the + and - signs before, and that is good for mutliple files.
[20:50] <masand> I'm form Italy
[20:50] <masand> nice to talk with you
[20:50] <shane4kubuntu> ok, I think I got it, instead of left clicking, to select the file, I can directly right click on one file and then select the option i want, hmm, perhaps that is better, one click verus two.
[20:51] <szal> masand: no real need for formalities..  have a question?  ask..  wanna chat? -> #kubuntu-offtopic
[20:51] <TNZfr> hi all
[20:51] <masand> sorry
[20:52] <shane4kubuntu> !hello | TNZfr
[20:52] <TNZfr> I've a question for a XP return on Natty ...
[20:52] <masand> I can't set correctly the Kwin shadows
[20:52] <TNZfr> actually, I'm using Maverick with KDE 4
[20:52] <TNZfr> .6.2
[20:53] <TNZfr> Is it necessary to migrate to natty ?
[20:54] <TNZfr> I think i'm going to wait for KDE 4.7.1 or later ... what's your opinion ?
[20:54] <masand> the kwin shadows are independent from the focus... why?
[20:54] <szal> TNZfr: "necessary" is your decision..  Maverick will be supported until the release of Oneiric, so you can stick w/ it for some more months
[20:55] <szal> !oneiric
[20:56] <TNZfr> szal: thx, but i'm wondering about the kernel version and enhanced radeon support in fact
[20:56] <Peace-> TNZfr: no
[20:57] <szal> TNZfr: kernel version will stay the same, only new rolls for bugfixes
[20:57] <TNZfr> Peace-:  ??? no for what ?
[20:57] <Peace-> migrate
[20:58] <TNZfr> so is there someone to explain me the radeon support addons in natty ?
[21:00] <LjL> szal, sure, except Shortcuts and Hotkeys does not let me select Start and Menu specifically as valid keys, which is why i asked
[21:07] <shane4kubuntu> !ubuntuone
[21:10] <TNZfr> !natty
[21:30] <aapzak> hi, I just used some code to remove resize grip on gtk apps. I cannot find how to do this for KDE apps. Can you help me?
[22:21] <calcmandan_> Hi kubuntus
[22:26] <shane4kubuntu> anyone here use ubuntuone?
[22:26] <shane4kubuntu> what do I need to do to get it running on kde?
[22:29] <LjL> where in Kubuntu do i set parameters from [front and back] microphone, line input, aux input, and the various output? KMix only has one single slider for input, plus one for output.
[22:37] <DarthFrog> LjL: You would have to install more componets of pulseaudio: paprefs, paman, padevchooser and pavucontrol.  Then run padevchooser
[22:38] <LjL> DarthFrog: padevchooser seems to be a GTK app... so this is not doable from within KDE?
[22:39] <DarthFrog> LjL: KDE has gone to pulseaudio as the backend to Phonon.  You could remove pulseaudio and use the alsa utils instead if you wish.
[22:40] <szal> why the Gtk phobia?
[22:41] <shane4kubuntu> LjL: check the prefs in kmix
[22:42] <LjL> szal: because if i had wanted to use GTK i wouldn't be on KDE
[22:42] <shane4kubuntu> LjL: actually settings and -> setup I think,
[22:43] <LjL> shane4kubuntu: there is Audio Setup, but i cannot make heads or tails of it to be honest
[22:43] <shane4kubuntu> kmix asks me: KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed, do I want to permanently forget about these devices?  that is odd, I didn't remove nothing
[22:43] <shane4kubuntu> LjL: sorry I can't be of much more help there, I'm a gnome convert.
[22:44] <shane4kubuntu> does kde usually use gstreamer as the backend?
[22:44] <LjL> i think these days it does
[22:44] <LjL> i'm a KDE3 convert myself
[22:44] <LjL> i'm not sure i'm not converting back though at this point :\
[22:44] <James147> shane4kubuntu: in 11.04 it does
[22:44] <shane4kubuntu> ok
[22:45] <shane4kubuntu> LjL: well, I'm not going back to Unity, and will sit out of gnome3 for a bit, while they update.
[22:45] <shane4kubuntu> thanks James147
[22:49] <ooki2day> hi
[22:50] <ooki2day> I choose recommended driver for nvidia, but when I click to enable desktop effects, i see this
[22:50] <ooki2day> Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.
[22:50] <ooki2day> Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.
[22:50] <ooki2day> what I need to do?
[22:52] <szal> ooki2day: define "recommended driver"
[22:53] <James147> ooki2day: did you restart after you neabled them?
[22:53] <James147> enabled ^^
[22:53] <ooki2day> I use recommended driver
[22:53] <szadek> Hi people can someone help me sync ipad with amarok ? it shows in local Music as Apple ipad , but it says it has 0 tracks ( Im on kubuntu natty with amarok 2.4.1 )
[22:55] <ooki2day> and I will restarted after enabled
[23:01] <ooki2day> anybode told me what can I do?
[23:13] <szal> ooki2day: again, what is the "recommended driver"?
[23:14] <ooki2day> system->additional drivers->recommended
[23:14] <ooki2day> right?
[23:16] <ooki2day> in kubuntu 11.04 released at march it works
[23:17] <ooki2day> but now I installed full release
[23:18] <szal> ooki2day: still doesn't tell me what exact driver that is
[23:20] <ooki2day> recommended driver is driver wich was tested by the ubuntu developers
[23:22]  * gomiboy thinks this will never end
[23:22] <ooki2day> in additional drivers I have two-version 173 and version current. I use version current
[23:23] <ooki2day> version curren is recommended by ubuntu developers
[23:23] <ooki2day> but I can't enable effects
[23:25] <ooki2day> szal: do you understand what is the "recommended driver"?
[23:26] <szal> I can guess, but still not sure
[23:26] <szal> I'd like you to pastebin 2 things -> (1) sudo lspci; (2) sudo lsmod
[23:26] <szal> !paste
[23:27] <ooki2day> k
[23:27] <ooki2day> moment
[23:29] <ooki2day> http://paste.ubuntu.com/606674/
[23:33] <szal> ooki2day: another thing -> sudo dpkg -l '*nvidia*'
[23:34] <James147> szal: dont need sudo to list
[23:34] <szal> James147: whatever
[23:34] <szal> doesn't make a difference in this case ^^
[23:40] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[23:41] <ooki2day>  sudo dpkg -l '*nvidia*' to paste?
[23:43] <ubuntu> hola
