[00:56] i posted this matter on the relevant channels, but if anyone know how to solve it i appreciate... [00:56] i have a correct dual head monitor configuration except the default monitor stays on my secondary one, a crt. if i issue '$ sudo aticonfig --swap-screens=on ' and reboot, xorg.conf accepts the changes but, as soon as i get to the environment ...nothing changes; still, default screen on top (being that my secondary monitor). here is my current xorg.conf -> http://goo.gl/E3zBo [01:11] hey does anyone have ubuntu one setn up kubuntu its probably a noob question but I can't stand unity [01:14] Hello [01:14] shadeslayer,i removed unity and ubuntu-desktop. i noticed ubuntuone was removed too. i didn't try to reinstall it yet but a lot of *unity* comes with it [01:16] sorry shadeslayer, that was for.... he left... (ShaneQful) [01:17] Who in here is still using 10.04LTS and wants to help with a Kubuntu Project? [01:20] Mint 9 KDE which is idealy the same [01:20] what project DarkwingDuck === RonnocCain is now known as ronnoc [01:21] Documentation project. so, I need someone running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. A review and fix project [01:22] I dont think Mint 9 would do wouldnt it ? [01:22] No I am sorry. :( [01:22] DarkwingDuck: Document what? reg app from repo? [01:23] ok ^^ [01:24] Fanfare: the shipped system docs from package kubuntu-docs [01:26] DarkwingDuck: how much time does it take? how urgent is it? [01:26] getting notebook up... argh its 10.10 iirc [01:27] Fanfare: It will be a weekend project. And when it can be done. I'm getting the next series up and going as we are starting the 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot development off the ground. [01:28] Fanfare: More or less, verifying that the docs are correct and if not, submitting bugs for them assigning myself and/or writing patches for them. [01:36] DarkwingDuck: ok, thers 10.10 on my notebook... and sadly not the time... leaving tomorrow for a 2w trip... [01:39] Fanfare: That's cool. Keep an eye out becaue in the next month or so I'll be sending out an email looking for people who want to help with current (11.10 Oneiric) documentation as well. [01:43] DarkwingDuck: is that a kde or kubuntu projekt? [01:43] Fanfare: Kubuntu project. [01:52] hi every1 [02:16] Anybody around? [02:18] I am wanting to dual boot Ubuntu 10.04 and Kubuntu 10.04...Ubuntu is on first drive and has grub 2 installed...I want to install Kubuntu to the second drive...Where do I need to install grub from Kubuntu [02:20] moes, your machine needs only one GRUB installed [02:20] I don't think you need to install GRUB(2) on both OSs [02:20] so it should go in your MBR [02:21] what's the difference between GRUB & GRUB 2? and how do u know which u have? [02:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:22] dniMretsaM, Well I ran install-grub --version in Ubuntu and recieved 1.98 which is grub 2 [02:23] Hi. Is there a way to force the installer to install the standard kubuntu desktop instead of the netbook version on a netbook? [02:24] ArchangelSe7en, So what you are saying don't install anything from Kubuntu and when I update-grub it will list Kubuntu [02:25] Um, you can switch once it's installed I believe [02:25] in settings someplace, lemme find it [02:25] nope .. install Kubuntu normally on your new partition (supposing that you have one ) and it should install GRUB for you [02:25] anyway, I have 1.99 RC something [02:26] which will take take of listing your OSs for you [02:26] even if you dualboot with Windows === Keshl_ is now known as Keshl [02:27] ArchangelSe7en, Will it not ask where to install grub during to install [02:28] moes: you installing kubuntu? [02:28] normally it shouldnt and if it did .. your first partition (sda usually) is the right place for that [02:28] c2tarun, getting prepared to install 10.04 [02:28] having trouble finding it. lemme google it for u [02:29] moes: well if you want to install boot in different partition then you have to mount that partition to /boot [02:29] by default grub will be installed in you root partition /boot folder. [02:30] moes: and why 10.04? there are newer versions available... [02:31] he probably wants 10.04 since it's LTS [02:31] ohh.... :) [02:31] c2tarun, Okay that is where I want to install to root partition /boot folder...I want the lts program [02:32] moes: sorry, can you please rephrase your sentence. I am not getting [02:33] c2tarun, Your suggestion to install Kubuntu grub to /root partition....Is what I was looking for...I want 10.04 because it is LTS [02:34] @nickmoeck: go to System Settings -> Workspace Behavior -> Workspace and there is an option for desktop or netbook [02:34] moes: thats good :) you ever installed any linux distro before? [02:34] dniMretsaM: thanks [02:35] yep [02:35] I'm out guys [02:35] l8r [02:36] c2tarun, I currently have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on sda1....And yes I have installed other PuppyLinux...Pclos Phoenix etc [02:37] moes: than its good :) normally new users are recommended not to mess with grub and home on different partitions. Since you are experienced thats good :) enjoy LTS [02:37] c2tarun, Thanks for the help [02:38] DarkwingDuck: Couldn't someone just run 10.10 froma live CD and help with the 10.04 docs? [02:38] Meant *10.04 / 10.04 of course [02:42] ronnoc: There are UI changes from 10.04 to 10.10. I'm looking for a review of the LTS Docs [02:43] DarkwingDuck: i meant to say couldn't someone review the 10.04 docs from running a 10.04 live cd - sorry for the typo [02:44] ronnoc: I'm sure one could. I'm tryig to get more participation then do everything myself [02:44] :) [02:47] ahh ok. I would help but I'm starting work on the Kubuntu Enterprise website for the next few weeks. Goodluck though - hopefully someone steps up. [02:48] ronnoc: I'm sure someone will. I'm trying to drive more for current docs when that comes up. [02:49] DarkwingDuck: Esp if / when some of the default apps change as proposed. OT, but I'm stoked that Muon will replace KPK in 11.11, among other things :) [02:50] *11.10. Geez I'm numerically challenged tonight [02:53] ronnoc: Aye, I was impressed when that was brought up at UDS. There are always tweaks to the documentation and I'm moving forward with other projects re kubuntu and I'm not sure if I want to do all of that plus maintaining the docs [02:58] DarkwingDuck: Docs are not the most exciting thing on earth, but insanely important [03:01] ronnoc: Yup, I've been leading the charge for a couple of releases now. What people don't realize is that 99% of people have done doc work [03:02] DarkwingDuck: I didn't realize that myself :) [03:03] ronnoc: Have you ever explained to anyone how to do something in IRC or email? [03:10] DarkwingDuck: Of course. Many times. [03:10] ronnoc: That's all documentation is. :) [03:11] a howto or a series of documents explaining how something works [03:12] DarkwingDuck: heh. Very true. Never really thought of it that way I guess. But you really can't live long in Open Source without doing just that on a regular basis :) [03:13] i just did a fresh install of 11.04 on a laptop using 945gm express graphics... what a nightmare. kubuntu 10.10 also ran poorly with this graphics chipset. does anyone know whether or not this is primarily a KDE/Kwin/Kubuntu issue, or a conflict with X in 11.04 in general? [03:14] ronnoc: Aye, but that's why there are those of us who do that as much as possible and try to make things simplier. [03:14] BTW, i was able to get some limited compositing working, using xrandr instead of opengl. [03:16] Xrender* [03:16] jmichaelx: i know that a couple years ago there were issues with that graphics chipset. [03:17] jmichaelx: What driver is being used? [03:17] DarkwingDuck: A very important task. Esp. since two of the primary areas of information / documentaion for people coming from other OS's, mainly WIKI's and IRC, are likely foreign to those people. [03:18] DarkwingDuck: yes, there was. then it seemed to be resolved for the next few releases, then the problem returned in maverick... and apparently has remained in natty. [03:18] DarkwingDuck: i am not sure which driver... i assume the same driver used for most intel cards [03:18] jmichaelx: I know one of the workarounds was a program called 915resolution that seemed to fix things IIRC [03:20] DarkwingDuck: the resolution is not where the problem is, and i don't think many have had to use 915resolution in a long time. (unless i have missed something, which is always possible.) [03:20] jmichaelx: Graphics running slow is the issue right? [03:21] DarkwingDuck: yes, VERY slow [03:22] DarkwingDuck: with opengl compositing enabled, it is just unusable. with XRender, it is usable, but anything requiring much of any acceleration is not usable [03:22] jmichaelx: Check this thread... there might be a fix in it. I just kinda scanned over it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1723748 [03:22] (the story is the same with all desktop effects disabled, too) [03:22] DarkwingDuck: thx, i will try to look that over [03:23] jmichaelx: Sorry i can't help more. [03:27] DarkwingDuck: the thread you pointed me to may indeed be helpful.... in the very last post, someone states that using the xorg-edgers xserver improved things a lot for him [03:27] i am going to give that a shot [03:28] jmichaelx: Awesome-sauce === david is now known as Guest82941 [03:45] how do i change my background? ;o [03:47] uberfrau: you mean your wallpaper? [03:49] DarkwingDuck: just reporting back... i installed the xorg-edgers' xorg and intel gpu driver, and now opengl compositing works :-D [03:50] however, some things are still VERY slow... if i start something like the game 'kapman', the little guy barely moves, lol [03:52] jmichaelx: It's a start. [03:53] DarkwingDuck: more than a start, it has made the desktop very usable now, with the excption of some games [03:54] jmichaelx: Awesome, glad i could help [03:54] i really feel that distros should post info on major known-bugs, as well as possible solutions, on the websites [03:55] no idea why i put a hyphen between 'known' & 'bugs'. but anyways.... [03:56] DarkwingDuck: yes, thanks again for pointing me to that thread! [03:57] jmichaelx: My pleasure [03:58] hmm, i wonder why there is no 'reply' option on that thread right now? [04:06] ok, the game Kapman was a bad example... apparently that game is not working on any computer (at least one those that i own) in natty [04:06] one=on* [04:08] jmichaelx: That's not just you. I have proprietary nvidia graphics and kapman is unplayable in natty. must be a bug. [04:08] jmichaelx: meaning a bug with kapman, not graphics [04:13] yep [04:17] Well, I just tried kapman and with my 1Gb vid card it still is slow as blech === james is now known as Guest78682 [04:21] How do I tell what version of Kubuntu I am running [04:21] I think I just upgraded to 11.04 but GRUB totally crashed on me and I had to recover it so I am not sure [04:24] elijah: open a terminal and type "cat /etc/issue" [04:24] elijah: minus the quotes [04:25] ronnoc: thx that worked, confirmed 11.04 [04:25] elijah: :) [04:27] DarkwingDuck: slow as blech? lol [04:27] i Have a Question. i installed Xine and VLC plug ins into Firefox. But if i CLick a video on a webpage it wont work. if i right click on the play link and tell it to open in New tab it will work but in its own Window. Why dose this happen. and can i do anything to correct it? [04:27] Yeah, and if it's slow on my system then it's slow everywhere. [04:28] k, second question. I restored GRUB 2 with the directions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 but now when I start up Kubuntu the grub screen is blue and kubuntu shows some startup procedures. How do I get GRUB back to the minimalistic black screen? [04:28] DarkwingDuck: that was my conclusion, too... my desktop is a quadcore, using prop. nvidia graphics, and kapman did not work there, either [04:29] I am thinking the Kubuntu startup stuff is because of the upgrade and not GRUB, but maybe I can just update GRUB to a different version? [04:31] elijah: not sure if you can, but that blue screen is the one for kubuntu 11.04. i like it personally, as by default it only shows the latest kernel - less confusing that way IMO. [04:34] well that was fun [04:34] got knocked to a ttl and had no clue how to get back in, had to reboot [04:35] was trying to load a xorg config file [04:35] i guess after the upgrade things changed a bit [04:35] i just realized I probably wiped my xord swap script too :( [04:35] *xorg [04:44] elijah: if you are in ttl sudo kdm will bring give you the gui logon screen [04:44] Is anyone here running Chrome, if you are can you run youtube videos in fullscreen? Mine sort of does it but puts the play bar a quarter way up the screen [04:45] kubu2: k, thx, I'll write that down. [04:45] no prob here with chrome [04:48] elijah: but you need to sudo killall kdm if kdm failed to start first time [04:50] elijah: i've hard weird flash issues in ffx and chromium [04:50] works ok in opera though === dan___ is now known as dan_l [04:52] kubu2: k, thanks [04:53] dan_l: I just tested in FF and it does the same thing [04:53] must be an issue with flash [04:53] are there blocks that kind of 'tear' [04:53] Elijah: are there like tears in your video? [04:54] dan_l: I have had that before and there may still be but I have been too focused on the full screen issue [04:55] how do I tell what graphics chipset I am using? [04:55] Elijah: what version of flash? [04:55] 10.2.154.28 [04:56] elijah: you might need to do upgrade again as when your X session went away during the upgrade because the kdm service was stopped/restarted and some upgrades were not completed yet [04:58] kubu2: this issue happened well after the upgrade, a kind user on IRC made me a script to swap out xorg.conf files for different display configurations and when I ran the script it was looking for some stuff in the xorg.d folder and that is what went haywire, I think at least, [04:59] know what? [04:59] k..I normally do my upgrade on a tty bec if you are not paying attention it ask if you want to stop/restart the kdm jobs among other things [04:59] I'm thinking it's not the flash the version. I think it's the extensionn in ffx [04:59] why would it work in opera and not ffx? [05:00] dan_l: I will try opera now [05:00] Elijah: yeah. Let's see. It will help us narrow down the problem. We shall be elite kubuntu trouble shooters!! [05:01] i just rented a movie on Youtube and want to be able to enjoy it in all its glory! :) === c2tarun_ is now known as c2tarun [05:02] K, Opera has the same issue for me [05:03] elijah:not sure what the script did bnut you can save you /etc/X11/xorg.conf somehwere and then from a tty create another xorg.conf [05:04] on a tty sudo killall kdm then sudo X -configure -a. then sudo cp /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:04] elijah: let it run until it has fully loaded (you see loading progress from the pale red bar underneath the time progress indicator), then grab the video file from your browser cache & play w/ your favourite video player [05:05] hmmmm [05:07] "it's not rocket science, is it?!" *sing* [05:10] dan_l: this is my issue actually http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=rnNJGCBqXlU [05:10] no fix [05:11] there has to be a fix. [05:11] GOOGLE HARDER!!!!!!!!! [05:11] :) [05:16] i find that i have to kill and restart plasma-desktop about once every half hour of use [05:16] using kde 4.6.3 from ppa (same was happening iwth 4.6.2) [05:16] Xorg and plasma-desktop start using a lot of CPU and eventually become unresponsive [05:17] any suggestions?

[07:34] i have disable it fo a long time, cause it breaks my kontact-startp [07:35] Click The Power Button At The Top Right Corner... [07:36] Click "System" [07:37] Then Click "Login Screen" [07:37] evilspiral:this is kde...no power-btn on top right corner [07:40] Sorry rethus I Thought You Had Natty Ubuntu... [07:40] no problem [07:43] How Do You Like KDE? [07:45] hi [07:45] How to set size of konsole? [07:45] Scan>right click and configure? [07:45] if that's what ya mean [07:48] Magnusson but you can resize using the triangle in to the right? [07:48] because I crashed [07:48] hmm, honestly i use yakuake, but lemme experiment [07:49] a [07:49] ok [07:49] you're just wanting to resize the whole window eh? [07:50] I wanted to know if the other crashed [07:50] because I was using gnome until 2 days ago [07:51] if it's just resizing the window , i'm able to just grab the bottom right corner and resize it like you would a normal window [07:53] Keep in mind that I have to translate what we write (eng only), but I can not even maximize the window that blocks all [07:53] Scan: do you use the nvidia driver? [07:54] yes [07:54] Scan: it's a known issue, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/760632 [07:54] Ubuntu bug 760632 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system" [High,Confirmed] [07:56] ah luckily i haven't had an issue with that, but yeah seems by and large we nvidia users are screwed =\ [07:57] Scan>try a different driver maybe? [07:57] there's not much "we" can do about nvidia driver issues, only nvidia can fix it [07:57] I have to wait for someone to speak Italian so I take a huge effort [07:59] Scan: there is #ubuntu-it for support in Italian language [07:59] Scan: Something you might want to look at as a replacement for konsole is Yakuake. It stays hidden till you use F12 to have it drop down. Very nice. [08:00] * DarkwingDuck remembers when nvidia was the way to go for Linux video [08:00] tsimpson thanks a lot but now there's' no! [08:00] lol DarkwingDuck [08:00] ATI was years behind nvidia for linux support... I guess the grass is always greener [08:01] I'll stick with my perfectly working intel gpu thanks :) [08:01] Well, my laptop has nvidia so, not so bad. [08:01] Konsole is the only issue I've ever had but, I fixed it with yakuake [08:02] if you're the type of person who _always_ has a terminal open, yakuake is the perfect app [08:02] So I Have A Question For The Room... What Is Everyones Prefered Programming Language? [08:03] tsimpson: irssi from my server and my dev work [08:03] evilspiral: you'll probably get a response in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:04] DarkwingDuck: I just use the terminal for... everything [08:05] tsimpson: yeah, 99% of what I do is terminal based. [08:09] hello [08:10] I can't share my two PC with samba, between a Windows Seven and a Kubuntu [08:10] I have create a new user on my Kubuntu, with smbpasswd [08:11] but I can't access from Windows [08:11] I see the folder, but when I try to open it, a message prompt ask my login and password [08:17] yeah yakuake is the shit [08:25] so i have now used alsamixer - rejust the settings, and use alsactc store [08:26] reboot... and : Same thing like before... sound is muted and much to loud [08:26] if i unmute [08:27] till kubuntu use pulseaudio. i only have problems with sound. [08:28] realy bad choice to use it [09:02] hi boys, im having an issue with gksu. whenever i type in my password, it says that it is incorrect. the password works correctly in su and sudo. does anyboyd have any ideas about how to debug it or what might be going wrong? [09:05] maybe special-chars in it [09:06] there are not any special characters. it contains only letters in the english alphabet [09:07] i found this bug but it doesnt provide any info about fixing it. only that using sudo instead is a workaround. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/624095 [09:07] Ubuntu bug 624095 in gksu (Ubuntu) "gksu will not recognize password for administrative tasks in Maverick" [Undecided,Expired] [09:09] giantpune: it says "Running gksu-properties and changing authentication mode to sudo fixes the problem", or you can just use kdesudo [09:11] indeed. im new to kubuntu. i forgot all about kdesudo. thanks [09:20] giantpune: also, I think using gksudo also fixes the issue ;) [09:21] ok, next issue. where do themes get installed to in kubuntu 10.10? my desktop theme is not applied to any programs run as root, but i dont know where to find them to copy to a more global position [09:26] giantpune: in ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme [09:28] giantpune: if you want to customize how apps ran as root look, run "kdesudo systemsettings" and change the Desktop Theme under Workspace Appearance [09:28]
