[00:12] <wn1zid> time for bed, cyall
[00:22] <Linkmaster> I have a question about the new update to AmaroK: The older version, I could use the arrow keys to fastfoward/rewind as well as turn the volume up and down. I could also use the mouse to place the song at any given point. Now, the play bar acts as if it is not getting any signal or anything. I can't click to move the song placement, and the track doesn't respond to any arrow key movement. It didnt' do this until after I
[00:22] <Linkmaster> updated it
[00:23] <Linkmaster> Also, how do I update to KDE4.6.3? I'm using 4.6.2, and it isnt showing up in my upgrade/dist-upgrade option
[00:28] <szal> Linkmaster: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa
[00:32] <Linkmaster> szal: Yep, that did it, konsole gave me a huge list of upgradable things. Thank you for that. Any idea on the AmaroK issue? Or is there an IRC channel I can go to to get direct help?
[00:33]  * szal doesn't use Amarok
[00:34] <Linkmaster> That means you must know everything about it though! :0
[00:34] <Linkmaster> Kidding, thanks anyhow
[00:45] <Roey> hi
[00:45] <Roey> how do I get mplayer to output only to the headphones, given that Kubuntu 11.04 uses pulseaudio and I can't use mplayer's device flags
[00:50] <szal> Roey: tried switching the output stream?
[00:52] <Roey> through mplayer yeah
[00:52] <Roey> but it still outputs to all devices
[00:52] <Roey> i.e. headphones and spdif
[00:52] <Roey> I want mplayer (from the command-line) to output only to headphones
[00:52] <Roey> I am using kubuntu 11.10 64-bit
[00:53] <szal> 11.10?
[00:53] <Roey> 11.04 rather
[00:53] <Roey> my bad.
[00:53] <Roey> I'm also playing Mario 14 in Japan
[00:53] <Roey> :P
[00:54] <szal> how about e.g. KMix?
[00:54] <Roey> it shows only one output device
[00:54] <Roey> (alsamixer shows all of them)
[00:54] <szal> don't look at the devices, look at the streams
[00:55] <Roey> amarok studio stream and event stream
[00:55] <Roey> "Amarok: Studio" stream and "Event Sounds" stream
[00:56] <szal> is MPlayer playing?
[00:56] <Roey> yes
[00:56] <Roey> it plays to both headphones and spdif
[00:56] <Roey> I want it to play to spdif only
[00:56] <Roey> brb
[00:57] <new2net> What is an appropriate backup application? I have a bad habbit of breaking installs.
[00:57] <szal> if it doesn't show up as a playback stream, it's not playing through Pulse
[00:58] <new2net> is Nepomuk apropos?
[00:58] <szal> new2net: your 2nd question doesn't make sense..
[00:59] <Roey> szal:  back
[00:59] <new2net> szal: Does nepomuk seem like a good choice to solve my issue?
[01:00]  * szal isn't aware that Nepomuk does backups
[01:00] <new2net> I want to backup my OS- not files... I always keep remote backups of important files.
[01:04] <gomiboy> new2net: you can't break anything if you don't use experimental/strange ppas or you like to write random sudo rm -fr in the terminal :D
[01:05] <new2net> su root && cd / && rm -r
[01:06] <tsimpson> please don't post those kinds of commands...
[01:06] <new2net> tsimpson: sorry, i aliased that one as apocalypse
[01:08] <new2net> Kbackup seems like what I wanted.
[01:38] <leo__> I have a Broadcom wireless that is giving me trouble. Installing the proprietary drivers makes the NetworkManager unable to see a wireless ability completely. Uninstalling the driver allows the wireless to be seen, but unavailable.
[01:38] <multipass> what is different from 10.10 to 11.04?
[01:39] <multipass> can 10.10 update kde automatically?
[01:43] <leo__> Anybody able to help?
[01:44] <Linkmaster> leo__: you might need to install WICD/gnomenetwork manager. I dont' use either, but I do know that the KNetworkManager can get pretty sketchy at times.
[01:45] <Axlin> multipass: here's the info on kubuntu 11.04 - http://www.kubuntu.org/news/11.04-release
[01:46] <multipass> yeah but im trying to find out if i can upgrade kde??
[01:46] <multipass> if im using 10.10
[01:46] <multipass> 11.04 isnt working for me unfortinatly
[01:46] <multipass> not just kubuntu, its all 11.04 it seems
[01:46] <Axlin> multipass: and 10.10 can be upgraded to kde 4.6 if you subscribe to the kubuntu backports ppa -
[01:46] <Axlin> ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[01:46] <multipass> 11.04 messes up dual monitor for me
[01:47] <Linkmaster> multipass: I was using KDE4.6.2 before I rolled up to 11.04, so I'm sure you can upgrade to 4.6.3
[01:47] <multipass> i think its the xorg upgrade that broked it
[01:47] <multipass> not sure
[01:47] <multipass> hmm ok
[01:47] <leo__> I tried to install WICD, and there was a "fail" message while it was installing. I would have to recreate the problem to show it, but I dont know how to do screen capture.
[01:48] <multipass> i think im going to install ubuntu 10.10 then install kubuntu-desktop ontop of it, im not missing out on anything with that right?>
[01:49] <Axlin> no, but you'll have a bunch of unneeded ubuntu-related packages installed that way
[01:49] <multipass> yeah.. i know :[
[01:49] <multipass> bleh
[01:50] <Linkmaster> multipass: as said, and it also clogs things up a bunch with things you do/don't need. I tried that once, and just decided to deal with Kubuntu's somewhat faulty network manager instead of all the bloat that having two desktops had
[02:02] <fedelevin> I need help, any person here?
[02:03] <Linkmaster> fedelevin: whats wrong?
[02:03] <fedelevin> Thanks, sorry for my bad english, the problem is that i have Win7 in a partition of mi pc, and i installed Kubuntu 11.04 in another partition...
[02:04] <fedelevin> but in the boot menu i only can select Kubuntu
[02:04] <fedelevin> WIn7 not is an option
[02:05] <fedelevin> Any idea?
[02:05] <Linkmaster> Can you see the 7 partition from dolphin? You should be able to load dolphin up, and along the right side you'll see what looks like an external drive, but it'll be your 7 partition
[02:06] <fedelevin> Yes, i can acces the partition and look all the files
[02:06] <Linkmaster> Have you looked at you 40_config file under the grub?
[02:07] <fedelevin> No, what is that?
[02:08] <Linkmaster> Its a file that allows the grub bootorder to be configured..but that might not help, since you say it won't show up at all..hm. have you tried to run 'sudo update-grub' on konsole?
[02:08] <multipass> did you delete any partitions when you were installing kubuntu?
[02:08] <multipass> windows 7 needs a 100mb partition i believe
[02:09] <multipass> i tried deleting it once to see what would happen, and i couldnt boot into w7
[02:09] <fedelevin> I execute sudo update-grub and this is what brought me back:
[02:09] <fedelevin> fedelevin@fedelevin-Kubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub
[02:09] <fedelevin> [sudo] password for fedelevin:
[02:09] <fedelevin> Generating grub.cfg ...
[02:09] <fedelevin> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic
[02:09] <DoctorPepper> hi guys!!!
[02:09] <fedelevin> Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
[02:09] <FloodBotK1> fedelevin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:09]  * Linkmaster only uses XP, so he didn't think about that
[02:10] <fedelevin> i will reboot the pc to see if it worked... THANKS FOR THE HELP
[02:25] <DoctorPepper> can anyone please tell me if there is a way to have the autostarted application know if the other   applications have finished launching
[02:34] <Roey> Hi.  I'm on Kubuntu 11.04 with pulseaudio.  How do I make mplayer/mpg123  output to just the headphones? They keep outputting to the same device no matter what I specify on the command-line.  I think PulseAudio has a lot to do with it.
[02:42] <szal> Roey: I told you already, every audio that does not appear as a playback stream in the mixer is not routed through Pulseaudio
[02:46] <Roey> szal:  hmm.
[02:46] <Roey> ahhh, ok.
[02:47] <Roey> well when I specify to mplayer something on the commandline with the output as 'alsa', I wouldn't expect it to route through pulseaudio
[02:47] <Roey> plus, I can individually mute the channels, as you suggested,
[02:47] <Roey> indicating that it's not going through pulseaudio
[02:54] <Spaz_Dynamic> I just ran updates, and now flash isn't working? Kubuntu 11.04, chromium 11.0.696.65 (84435)
[02:59] <Linkmaster> Spaz_Dynamic: maybe reinstall flash?
[03:01] <c2tarun> my task panel is freezing after every minute for few seconds (around 20 sec). its very frustating, because I am not able to start any app, switch between applications and any other job. can anyone please tell my why am I facing this problem?
[03:02] <Linkmaster> c2tarun: You might want to turn off the blur in desktop effects. When I turned those off from upgrading to Natty, it solved all freezing
[03:03] <c2tarun> Linkmaster: I removed all the effects, lets see if it fixes the problems of not.
[03:04] <Linkmaster> c2tarun: try just the blur. I can leave all my other regular ones on, its only blur that affects it
[03:04] <c2tarun> Linkmaster: do I have to reboot as well? because its still freezing.
[03:04] <Linkmaster> Uhm..reboot isn't usually something done in Linux. Hm. what are your system specs?
[03:06] <c2tarun> Linkmaster: 4 GB RAM, 1 GB graphic card, intel core i3 64 bit
[03:06] <Linkmaster> Hm. No clue why it won't work for you, especially since you have ~4x the power of my machine
[03:07] <c2tarun> hmmm... :( I got my heat sink changed yesterday, I thought this was due to my laptop heating up, but it isn't
[03:09] <c2tarun> Linkmaster: I am going to reinstall once again.
[03:10] <Linkmaster> c2tarun: have you tried posting on the forum? there is a lot of smart people there who could help you out
[03:11] <c2tarun> Linkmaster: ok, I'll post on ubuntuforum first.
[03:11] <Linkmaster> Try "kubuntuforums.net" its specifically for kubuntu, and the people there are MUCH more friendly then at ubuntu
[03:11] <c2tarun> sure :)
[03:14] <Linkmaster> You won't get the fastest results at times, but I don't usually see a problem that doesn't go unresolved
[03:15] <c2tarun> Linkmaster: sure, I'll wait for 2-3 days :) thanks
[03:16] <claydoh> hey, we *try* to get to everyone, and it shouldn't take days at kubuntuforums :)
[03:16] <Linkmaster> make sure you list AS MUCH specifics as possible, put in 'lspci' for technical reasons, your version of KDE, etc. etc.
[03:16] <Linkmaster> claydoh: I never said days my friend :P I just said it sometimes takes awhile [such as my mic issue you attempted to help with about a month ago I believe..]
[03:17] <claydoh> no, c2tarun did :D
[03:18] <Linkmaster> Very true, baha. Though speakign of which, would you happen to know how to fix my mic? :/
[03:18] <c2tarun> claydoh: sorry :( sometimes on ubuntuforums it take days so I thought may be here as well, because I started from ubuntu and now switched to kubuntu completely
[03:19] <claydoh> ubuntus forums are huge, kubuntuforums is nice n cozy :)
[03:19] <c2tarun> yah :) just like kubuntu ;)
[03:19] <Daskreech> c2tarun: welcome to KDE
[03:19] <c2tarun> Daskreech: :)
[03:20] <claydoh> c2tarun:  I would suggest seeing if this occurs for a different user account
[03:20] <Linkmaster> The most powerful desktop there is
[03:20] <Linkmaster> And I only have one user account..0:
[03:21] <claydoh> I haven't seen anything similar to what you are having, but that doesn't mean much
[03:22] <Linkmaster> eh, my computer isn't exactly the most 'linux-friendly" one out there. Its a lenovo, they have a magical contract with M$. So the wireless card always has proprietary issues, the sound sometiems takes work to start up, if I'm lucky, the wireless works after installing the STA driver, and an assortment of other not-so-happy things
[03:23] <c2tarun> Linkmaster: same here, sometimes my wifi freezes the kernel, I am using network-manager-gnome and at least its not freezing.
[03:23] <Daskreech> Linkmaster: Lenovo write the linux drivers for the parts they supply
[03:23] <Daskreech> They are pretty linux friendly
[03:24] <Linkmaster> Not out of the box they aren't >:l [trust me, I know..its so hard to get a computer working when the school doesnt want you to have access to certain internet that'll make your life easier to fix it]
[03:25] <c2tarun> well Dell guys really sukk... I asked them not to give windows 7 and reduce its cost guess what they said....... WINDOWS IS FREEEEEEEE, I could have slapped the girl if she wasn't on phone.
[03:25] <Linkmaster> o.o
[03:25] <Linkmaster> I would've totally pulled a chuck norris, and slapped the phone causing the phone on her end to protrud a random arm to smack her across the face
[03:26] <c2tarun> :) lolzzz.. .yeah I should have tried that.
[03:28] <acid> hi claydoh, and thank you for your kmm ppa :)
[03:29] <Linkmaster> kmm?
[03:29] <acid> kmymoney
[03:29] <Linkmaster> AH
[03:30]  * Linkmaster doesn't use those [yet] so wouldn't know
[03:35] <lcb> Hi. By default, where is KDE Menu Editor, on the main menu? if not exists what's the correct command line of kmenuedit and work path?
[03:37] <lcb> someone with it, please check it on General and Advanced, on the graphical KDE Menu Editor.
[03:39] <Daskreech> lcb: on right click
[03:40] <Daskreech> it's there
[03:41] <lcb> Daskreech: right click wuere? :o
[03:41] <lcb> where...
[03:41] <Daskreech> the menu icon
[03:42] <lcb> ohh, i see . Thanks :)
[03:42] <lcb> uffff
[03:42] <lcb> i was like installing alacarte but i were admire if KDE didn't make one
[03:43] <lcb> admired either :)
[03:43] <lcb> thanks a lot Daskreech
[03:43] <Daskreech> Welkome
[04:24] <Spaz_Dynamic> I just ran updates, and now flash isn't working. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flash plugin through aptitude. Kubuntu 11.04, chromium 11.0.696.65 (84435)
[04:25] <Spaz_Dynamic> as a note, it also doesn't work in konquerer
[04:25] <Linkmaster> Spaz_Dynamic: Is it just Chromium? Or is it for all web browsers?
[04:26] <c2tarun> Spaz_Dynamic: I dont think that konqueror and chromium share same flash plugin.
[04:28] <Spaz_Dynamic> Either way, it reports that I have to upgrade to flash 10 when on youtube
[04:28] <Spaz_Dynamic> when in both chromium and konqueror
[04:31] <Linkmaster> Have you tried uninstalling flash, and installing gnash through either your package manager or the konsole?
[04:31] <Spaz_Dynamic> why should I have to switch to gnash when attempting to update flash?
[04:33] <Linkmaster> I've found that when flash doesn't work for me, switching to gnash solves most problems. Not to mention, its free software[I know that flash is free, but Adobe isn't freeware sadly..]
[04:35] <Spaz_Dynamic> well it has been working up till I updated it today. I will try switching to gnash, but I would also like to at least diagnose if not resolve my issue with flash
[04:37] <Linkmaster> that would be nice, but its probably past my mediocre skill level
[04:39] <Spaz_Dynamic> what other than "Gnash SWF Viewer" (and associated dependencies) do I need to install get it working in chromium?
[04:40] <Linkmaster> I think that'd be it..my experience of chrome is zip though, since I use mainly Rekonq and FF
[04:44] <Spaz_Dynamic> Well, gnash isn't doing anything, and konqueror is suggesting I now download flash to get more functionality out of the browser... >.<
[04:45] <Linkmaster> maybe download it via Konqueror..that might install whatever missing somethings are missing
[04:47] <fitoria> hi
[04:47] <fitoria> I just upgraded to 11.04
[04:47] <fitoria> but I can't disable my touchpad
[04:48] <fitoria> the menu configuration is missing in this version, it used to be on 10.10 :(
[04:48] <fitoria> any other way to disable it?
[04:51] <Spaz_Dynamic> Linkmaster: having konqueror do it seems to have worked... for chromium anyways
[04:51] <Linkmaster> fitoria: go to 'system settings -> input devices -> touchpad' then select the option to turn it off
[04:51] <Linkmaster> Spaz_Dynamic: well..issue solved. how. Not sure xP
[04:52] <fitoria> Linkmaster: I've already tried that
[04:52] <fitoria> but the option is missing
[04:52] <fitoria> or I dont see it :-P
[04:52] <Linkmaster> Hm
[04:53] <Linkmaster> If your using a laptop, there is technically a BIOS function keypress commmand. Mine is 'fn+F6' to turn off the touchpad
[04:53] <Spaz_Dynamic> ... and now konqueror is working too... linux is so tempermental xD
[04:54] <fitoria> Linkmaster: does not works :(
[04:54] <fitoria> mine is f9
[04:54] <Linkmaster> Spaz_Dynamic: perhaps the way we tried was missing a package or something
[04:54] <Spaz_Dynamic> dunno
[04:54] <fitoria> but even on 10.10 that key did'nt worked
[04:54] <Linkmaster> fitoria: and I'm hrmming at the moment..I dont' knwo what to do then :/
[04:54] <fitoria> :-(
[04:55] <fitoria> do you know how to dissable it with the x server config?
[04:55] <fitoria> or something similar
[04:55] <Linkmaster> I know its possible, though I know next to nothing about it, soo...
[04:57] <fitoria> oki
[04:57] <fitoria> thanks!
[05:37] <new2net> su root ...  "Authentication Failure" wrong password?
[05:39] <Linkmaster> why are you using su root? it should simply be 'sudo su'. Though why are you trying to go superuser? thats a bad idea for most, if not almost all things
[05:41] <new2net> Linkmaster- uhh... editing LAMP install :p
[05:42] <new2net> Linkmaster: also- that worked. Thank you, I will be careful ;)
[05:43] <Linkmaster> alright, good. Just don't do anything stupid, because being the superuser can and will bring some sort of bad something to your system
[05:46] <new2net> and  "su new2net" turns me back into myself right?
[05:47] <Linkmaster> no, type exit
[05:48] <Linkmaster> the term 'sudo' basically means 'make have super user priviledges for the following command' and 'su' means 'super user'. so 'sudo su' essentially means 'make super user'
[05:53] <new2net> I see. So I can use dolphin or nautilus as root by typing sudo nautilus?
[05:54] <new2net> not that it's a good idea :)
[05:54] <Linkmaster> No, since its a graphical option, you'll want to use 'kdesudo' which implies 'graphical super user privilegdes' which is also a horrible idea
[05:55] <new2net> sounds like I better just read the chmod man instead of running kdesudo ;) thx for your help
[05:55] <Linkmaster> quite possibly
[05:55] <Linkmaster> and your welcome
[06:06] <noaXess> good morning

[06:11] <noaXess> TweakedEh: hey.. there are some hotwos.. have to check..
[06:12] <noaXess> TweakedEh: do you know this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod
[06:13] <noaXess> TweakedEh: what kubuntu version you have? 11.04?
[06:14] <TweakedEh> noaXess: I'm not sure what your asking, I have been looking and it wants me to mount something thats not there, and yes I just updated.
[06:15] <noaXess> TweakedEh: google is your friend.. i don't have any apple device.. i use samsung.. but here are some results.. simple, yes :) http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=ubuntu+ipod&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[06:16] <TweakedEh> noaXess: I have been trying google, most of them want me to run "mount /dev/sdc2 /media/ipod" I made  /media/ipod and it says its cant find sdc2.. thanks for looking though
[06:17] <noaXess> TweakedEh: .. okay.. so. 1. unplugg your ipod, 2. plugin it again 3. run dmesg in konsole.. then at the end of dmesg you should see the correct device name.. maybe it's another then /dev/sdc2..
[06:20] <TweakedEh> noaXess: Is this what I'm looking for? [15890.820103] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13
[06:20] <noaXess> TweakedEh: .. maybe.. but it shoule also show any /dev/sd??...
[06:21] <noaXess> TweakedEh: it seams that your ipod don't get any device name..
[06:21] <noaXess> TweakedEh: do you know pastebinit?
[06:21] <noaXess> it's command... maybe you have to install it... sudo apt-get install pastebinit..
[06:21] <TweakedEh> noaXess: I can put output on pastbin...
[06:22] <noaXess> after that you can do: dmesg | pastebinit
[06:22] <noaXess> then you get a url to post here
[06:22] <noaXess> what you prefere

[06:27] <siege> hello
[06:27] <siege> can u all help me with kubuntu?
[06:27] <noaXess> TweakedEh: ah.... ok.. so you can acces your ipod... but just for read..
[06:28] <noaXess> TweakedEh: thats a stop forward.. so we can search exactly..
[06:28] <TweakedEh> noaXess: and it's only a certian folder within the ipod dir
[06:33] <noaXess> TweakedEh: sorry.. no answer yet.. think you have to deeper search in google.. and wait here.. maybe later some more cracks are here to help..
[06:34] <TweakedEh> noaXess: I've been looking for awhile, I will keep this open and thanks for looking.. my ipod is jailbroken..  not sure if that matters.
[06:48] <TweakedEh> noaXess: I got it, for anyone that also wants to know i used "sudo lsusb -v | grep -i Serial" to get my Ipod 40 char uuid and I used ifuse to mount it to the directory, then gtkpod and point it at the mounted dir. Thanks for your help.

[08:14] <joehannes> hey guys, just switched from ubuntu to kde (again) and was pleased to see so many improvements since kde 4.0. I especially like the predefined plasma-desktops like search-and-launch ...
[08:15] <joehannes> now I want to use search-and-launch a bit more and wonder if there is any tutorial on how to use its plugins?? basically I want to run shell commands in it and I activated the command execution plugin but don't know how to talk to it
[08:16] <joehannes> thing I really want to do is ... I have a shell script which launches my IDE (intellij idea) and I can't get a decent startup icon on my desktop :)
[08:16] <joehannes> anyone idea on where to get "search and launch" help?
[08:42] <MarcoPau> hello, since my last upgrade to natty I have been getting double notifications, one on the bottom right corner and the other one on the top left. do you know how to fix tis?
[09:24] <asraniel> hello. is there a good alternative to amarok in kubuntu? i need a player that respects my phonon settings for which soundcard to use, but that is featurewise close to amarok
[09:39] <valorie> asraniel: amarok respects your settings
[09:39] <valorie> not sure what you mean
[09:39] <valorie> the settings you change in Amarok are the same as in systemsettings
[09:39] <valorie> exact same menu
[09:41] <asraniel> i know, but amarok does not respect it. my gf has two soundcards. an integrated and a usb one
[09:41] <valorie> amarok just uses phonon
[09:41] <asraniel> i set phonon to use the usb by default, because thats the one with the speakers connected
[09:42] <asraniel> every application (dragon, vlc, flash, kde itself) use the usb soundcard
[09:42] <asraniel> except amarok
[09:42] <valorie> this is what I would suggest: start amarok from the console
[09:42] <valorie> amarok --debug --nofork
[09:42] <asraniel> valorie: two seconds
[09:43] <asraniel> have to give instructions over a chat ;)
[09:43] <valorie> and watch what's going on
[09:43] <valorie> dragon uses phonon
[09:43] <valorie> the rest usually don't
[09:43] <asraniel> i know that dragon uses phonon.. thats why i cited it as an example of a working application
[09:47] <asraniel> valorie: the debug output is comming, would be great if you can see the problem :)
[09:48] <valorie> I'm not sure I'll be able to tell,
[09:48] <valorie> but if you pastebin it
[09:48] <valorie> I'll certainly look at it
[09:48] <valorie> and the phonon folks are good at looking at that stuff
[09:48] <valorie> I'm not a devel
[09:49] <asraniel> valorie: here: http://pastebin.com/Dz04Ttxz
[09:49] <asraniel> valorie: it includes the startup of amarok and a start and stop of a song
[09:50] <asraniel> myself i can't see anything interesting
[09:53] <valorie> ok, not me either
[09:53] <valorie> and that's probably because I said amarok --debug --nofork
[09:53] <valorie> and instead I should have said the phonon debug stuff
[09:54] <asraniel> how does one activate that?
[09:54] <valorie> can you meet me in #phonon?
[09:54] <valorie> I mean, #phonon
[09:54] <valorie> I think I have it in my notes
[10:07] <rom1dep> apachelogger: ping :)
[10:12] <apachelogger> rom1dep: pong
[10:13] <rom1dep> apachelogger: I read you blogpost http://apachelog.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/kubuntu-11-10-sneak-peak/
[10:16] <rom1dep> apachelogger: I'm ok with the fact that this post is a kind of advertisement for kubuntu, but I'm a bit confused with it : why didn't you dig a little bit more the 'Low Fat Kubuntu' aspect ? what did you do exactly and what are the gains in term of cpu/mem consumption ?
[10:17] <rom1dep> apachelogger: I'm saying 'you' but it's adressed to the kde-ubuntu integrators :)
[10:24] <apachelogger> rom1dep: we did not do anything
[10:24] <apachelogger> the oneiri cycle started like 2 weeks ago
[10:25] <apachelogger> the reason the post is fuzzy is because all those things are planned, but not done
[10:26] <anurag__> hiii
[10:27] <rom1dep> apachelogger: okay', all of this looks promising, except the utouch part, do you intend to merge it upstream ?
[10:39] <apachelogger> rom1dep: it is from upstream
[10:45] <anderlia> @asraniel: Clementine is a very good alternative to Amarok > http://www.clementine-player.org/
[10:48] <asraniel> anderlia: i was able to solve my issue with amarok, but thanks
[10:50] <rom1dep> apachelogger: ok, thanks

[13:20] <BluesKaj> ArchangelSe7en, that may be the case , but that error has popped up before and it had to do with just changing to nomodeset in grub .

[13:37] <Lebawurscht> how can i join another server?
[13:37] <Lebawurscht> quakenet for example
[13:38] <Lebawurscht> hello?
[13:38] <BluesKaj>  /server irc.quakenet.net or org or whatever the xtn is
[13:39] <BluesKaj> Lebawurscht, or you couls do a search for it
[13:40]  * eagles0513875 facepalms
[13:42] <ikonia> why ?
[13:45] <Pici> Lebawurscht: Didn't we go over this yesterday?
[13:46] <Lebawurscht> right @pici
[13:47] <Lebawurscht> i still dont know it
[13:47] <dan_l> I need to install flash.
[13:47] <dan_l> It recently updated the flashplayer installer.
[13:48] <dan_l> But that apparently pulled the exisiting rev of flash from my brosers.
[13:48] <Lebawurscht> mirc says "You may not reregister" when i try to join the quakenetserver
[13:48] <dan_l> But, I can't find the flash installer.   The icon isn't anywhere to be found in the menu
[13:48] <dan_l> and it doesn't come up in the keystroke launcher.
[13:50] <BluesKaj> Lebawurscht, this for kubuntu support not quakenet , go search on google for the quakenet site and read their instructions on how to join
[13:52] <Lebawurscht> @blueskaj my questions are too easy to be answered on any supportwebsite
[13:52] <BluesKaj> Pici, can you get rid of this troll
[13:53] <OerHeks> dan_l, i had flash install troubles too, yesterday, solution for me was to remove google talk plugin.
[13:53] <Lebawurscht> calm down
[13:54] <Lebawurscht> also my irc client runs on ubuntu
[13:54] <dan_l> oerheks:  just from firefox?
[13:54] <OerHeks> dan_l, firefox and chromium, both , and i posted a bugreport, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/783976
[13:55] <OerHeks> see the last post, that should work too
[13:55] <dan_l> Looking at it now.
[13:56] <dan_l> I like this Lebawuscht guy.  Consummate nub.
[13:58] <BluesKaj> ikonia, actually he was on quassel, but thanks for that.
[13:58] <ikonia> BluesKaj: he said he was on mirc
[13:58] <ikonia> I can only go with what he says
[13:58] <BluesKaj> no matter , i did a 'version'
[14:01] <AciD> hi
[14:01] <AciD> would you know what's the keyboard shortcuts to the "Ok" button and "Cancel" button you can find in most kde window app (specially in modal windows) ?
[14:01] <AciD> using the mouse isn't efficient there, and using "tab" is quite long in some windows
[14:02] <dan_l> oerhecks:  It worked.  Thanks!
[14:02] <dan_l> oerheks, sorry
[14:03] <OerHeks> dan_l, please confirm at launchpad that this is a solution, thnx
[14:03] <dan_l> k
[14:05] <dan_l> I'm just going to start making random bug reports like
[14:05] <dan_l> "quake net won't let me register"
[14:05] <dan_l> :)
[14:08] <BluesKaj> dan_l, the ignore option is my friend :)
[14:11] <dan_l> I'd love to see the unity bug reports
[14:11] <dan_l> that should be troll city by now
[14:43] <lcb> scrolling over... i don't get it... so many ppl with flash issues when *out-of-the-box* flash works well on 11.04 (tested firefox chromium rekong). i believe ppl start installing all sort of *flash* and mess it. 'uninstalling' the cluttered ones and ' $ dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer ' should fix it.
[14:46] <BluesKaj> lcb, ppl are getting bad advice and removing the default flash in favour of a prprietary version which is flaky
[14:46] <BluesKaj> mostly FF users ..not may complaints from chrome users
[14:47] <lcb> probably due to block scripts/addons they can't play the flash
[14:47] <lcb> and then install others
[14:48] <kubu2> chrome (32-bit) has flash built in
[14:49] <BluesKaj> kubu2, well FF does as well , or not ?
[14:49] <lcb> i would stick with chromium... just in case of doubtful "bugs"
[14:50] <BluesKaj> I haven't used FF in a long time
[15:03] <lcb> i always have chromium (for certain google needs) and firefox (overall browsing) installed. and now rekonq (instead of midori) for had-hoc and fast looks on the net  and dillo or lynx for server
[15:04] <lcb> well, on my win machines i use internet explorer icon - just the icon. i like to see it there.
[15:42] <BluesKaj> lcb, even wife uses chrome on her W7 pc now , she prefers it.
[15:49] <amichair> does anyone have experience with diagnosing internet slowness problems? (only on one kubuntu machine, not net/router/LAN)
[15:51] <asraniel> amichair: what does slowness mean?
[15:51] <asraniel> is pinging a website slow? or dowloading?
[15:54] <ehsan> is there ubuntu one for kubuntu?
[15:54] <OerHeks> ehsan, not found yet :(
[15:55] <tsimpson> it's being worked on, but only by volunteers
[15:56] <ct529> hi! is is possible to substitute every '-g -O2' with '-g -O3 --march=native' in a long list of files using command lines command?
[15:56] <tsimpson> you should be able to use the Ubuntu(Gnome) version in Kubuntu though
[15:57] <amichair> asraniel: browser page load time, in both FF & Chrome, as compared with other computers on the same LAN, the 'slow' one being the desktop with the highest specs, by far
[15:58] <ct529> hi! is is possible to substitute every '-g -O2' with '-g -O3 --march=native' in a long list of files using command lines command?
[16:00] <asraniel> amichair: ok. can you open a console and type something like ping www.google.com and tell me the results?
[16:00] <tsimpson> ct529: using sed:     sed -i 's,-g -O2,-g -O3 --march=native,g' file1 file2 file2 fileN      or using find:        find . -iname "filename*" -exec sed -i 's,-g -O2,-g -O3 --march=native,g' {} +
[16:01] <amichair> ct529:  sed might help you (with -i parameter)
[16:01] <amichair> asraniel: it's not the best ping, but the same across all boxes here
[16:02] <tsimpson> amichair: it may be that you want to disable IPv6, when you have it enabled and your network doesn't support IPv6, the DNS lookup time can take ages, because it attempts an IPv6 lookup first (which times out) then IPv4
[16:02] <tsimpson> !ipv6
[16:03] <lcb> BluesKaj: *wives&browsers* mine uses firefox but i might move it to chrome bc FF is getting too confusing for her :)
[16:04] <ct529> tsimpson: amichair: thanks a lot!
[16:05] <asraniel> amichair: ok... what i sometimes do with slow connections is to replace the standard dns server
[16:06] <asraniel> amichair: try to use the google ones: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
[16:06] <Daskreech> 5 hours
[16:06] <Daskreech> to format one partition
[16:06] <Daskreech>  and it fails
[16:15] <szal> Daskreech: smells like toast
[16:16] <Daskreech> szal: no drive is brand new
[16:17] <Daskreech> Decided to format it in Windows
[16:17] <Daskreech>  took me till 2:30 in the morning to tell me that it failed
[16:18] <szal> Daskreech: even a brand new drive can be toast
[16:22] <Daskreech> yes I know
[16:22] <Daskreech> but it is fine
[16:32] <vbgunz> anybody use nvidia binaries and have a widescreen framebuffer or resolution much larger than vbeinfo dares reporting as useable? how did you do it?
[16:44] <Daskreech> szal: 1 hour in Linux && it works!!! Amazing
[16:46]  * szal would get SCSI drives if it were feasible
[16:49] <Daskreech> wow
[16:49] <Daskreech>  the file system reserves 15 GB of space
[16:51] <DarthFrog> Daskreech:  That's a tuneable parameter.
[16:51] <Daskreech> I just thought about that. Wondering if I should reformat it and take back 10 GB of that
[16:52] <DarthFrog> How big is the drive?
[16:52] <Daskreech> 1TB
[16:52] <DarthFrog> And is it just going to be used for storage?
[16:52] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, vbeinfo ?
[16:53] <Daskreech> so far
[16:53] <DarthFrog> Then even 5 GB is more than you need to reserve.
[16:54] <DarthFrog> The reserved space is available only to root, so that a user doesn't fill up a file system and leave nothing for the system for administration.
[16:54] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: yeah
[16:55] <DarthFrog> If you're not going to have the system on the drive, then there's little need for reserved space.
[16:56] <vbgunz> Always before installing the nvidia drivers, what ever comes before it always nails the widescreen resolution perfectly. then, after installing the nvidia binaries, that resolution in the framebuffer is gone forever... hwinfo --framebuffer, vbeinfo, cat /proc/fb, nothing works
[16:56] <BluesKaj> vbgunz,  yeah,...that doesn't tell us much
[16:57] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: what I am saying is, what ever comes before the nvidia binary supports my framebuffer at a native 1920x1080. once the nvidia binary goes in, I lose that framebuffer forever and go to a much lower resolution.
[16:57] <BluesKaj> nvidia binaries, why did you install those the the nvidia recommended driver should suffice
[16:57] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: that's what I am talking about.
[16:58] <vbgunz> they're still binaries aren't they?
[16:59] <BluesKaj> binaries are normally the proprietary drivers from the nvidia site , bin or .run  , which aren't recommended by kubuntu
[17:00] <vbgunz> I got the official debs from ubuntu itself. nvidia-common, nvidia-current, nvidia-settings
[17:01] <BluesKaj> and fro personal experience vbgunz , I can tell you they only work on some Linux distros , and not on kubuntu
[17:01] <BluesKaj> how did you install the drivers?
[17:02] <vbgunz> dpkg --set-selections followed by an apt-get dselect-upgrade
[17:03] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, why did you choose to use that method ...did the recommended drivers in system/additional drivers not work ?
[17:04] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: I chose that method as it brought in all of my other packages I use frequently
[17:04] <vbgunz> using that method simply pulls in the nvidia stuff
[17:04] <BluesKaj> so does the default method afaik
[17:06] <BluesKaj> I have 3 pcs with nvidia cards/drivers, and they all work with the recommended diver with very few glitches
[17:06] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: If I follow your method, I do everything one by one. yes to this and then yes to that. yes, here yes there. using my method is the recommended method for reinstalling a certain subset of packages. nvidia happens to be in that subset.
[17:07] <vbgunz> nvidia and my desktop is flawless
[17:07] <vbgunz> even if I do as you say, I still end up with a crippled framebuffer
[17:07] <vbgunz> when I mention framebuffer, I am talking about tty1 through 6
[17:09] <vbgunz> not sure where it is now *but* it's nowhere near the *native* resolution. no matter how hard I try to get it to support the native resolution I fail.

[17:11] <BluesKaj> what's the native resolution of your monitor vbgunz?
[17:12] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: it's 1920x1080.
[17:12] <hmchinh1986> please help me
[17:12] <vbgunz> I tried following this http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ several times and it just never works. I am going over all of the comments atm
[17:13] <hmchinh1986> vbgunz, please help me
[17:13] <vbgunz> hmchinh1986: did you try looking at syslog? did you look over dmesg?
[17:13] <hmchinh1986> how to do it?
[17:14] <vbgunz> alt+f2 and try entering ksystemlog
[17:14] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, that's what mine is , and the default install is what I used and it works ... there are some missing dependencies with your install , methinks
[17:14] <hmchinh1986> ok
[17:14] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: I am gonna try it one more time and see what happens
[17:15] <BluesKaj> what size monitor vbgunz?
[17:15] <vbgunz> 22
[17:16] <vbgunz> I see the native resolution with plymouth (not sure if it is plymouth or what not) *but* once I put in the binary, it's truly gone and erased. nothing shows my monitor supports it though I see it perfectly before
[17:16] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, isn't 1920x1080 a bitnhigh for a 22" ...i use 42" plasma tv and that's the native resoltion
[17:16] <vbgunz> gonna follow that walkthrough for the fifth time, maybe the 5th time is the charm
[17:17] <vbgunz> I think 1920x1080 on a 22 is still a bit small :)
[17:17] <vbgunz> I used to have a higher resolution on a 17 inch
[17:18] <vbgunz> first I need to try some other things, probably gonna end up rebooting several times here
[17:18] <vbgunz> bbiab, will let you know if something pans out BluesKaj
[17:19] <BluesKaj> vb good luck removing all the config files with drivers
[18:11] <tranquilwaters> hi everyone. I use rekonq and set it to auto-open torrents. Now I would rather set rekonq to auto-save those files. Does anyone here know where I can set that?
[18:11] <tranquilwaters> I checked system settings/file associations, but there I can only find the option to link torrents to Ktorrent, which is fine.
[18:11] <tranquilwaters> Where are those rekonq settings?
[18:15] <BluesKaj> tranquilwaters, doesn't rekonq use kget to dl torrents ?
[18:16] <tranquilwaters> BluesKaj: you can let dl be handled by Kget, but you don't have to
[18:16] <tranquilwaters> I don't even have it installed
[18:17] <BlaXpirit> btw, i wanted to ask someone: when will rekonq support chrome extensions? i'm just dreaming to switch to it.
[18:17] <tranquilwaters> ooh extensions would be nice
[18:17] <tranquilwaters> :)
[18:17] <BlaXpirit> there were news year or more ago, but still nothing serious
[18:18] <BluesKaj> tranquilwaters, ok when you try to DL a torrent file th dialog should ask you what you want to DL with , there should be a dialog , choose /usr/bin/ktorrent
[18:20] <tranquilwaters> BluesKaj: that's not my problem. torrent files are linked to Ktorrent. My problem is as follows: first time I downloaded a torrent, rekonq asked me to Open or Save it and the dialog had a checkbox to remember that action. I chose Open (with Ktorrent), that's working fine, but now I would rather auto-Save torrents than auto-Open them
[18:20] <tranquilwaters> And I can't find that setting to change that default file action for rekonw
[18:22] <BluesKaj> tranquilwaters, sorry I don't undestand what you mean by autosave ...for a later download or ?
[18:22] <tranquilwaters> yes, just save the torrents to disk
[18:23] <amichair> tsimpson: thanks for the answer earlier, however I don't seem to have ipv6 enabled (from link u posted), and in any case no difference between desktop and netbook, yet one of them is much sloewr than the other
[18:23] <tranquilwaters> then I can open Ktorrent whenever I want to and let Ktorrent autoload torrents. I don't want to have Ktorrent running all the time. And right now it opens everytime and the ktorrent dialogs pop up and everything XD
[18:25] <amichair> tsimpson: my next suspect is the firewall, I just tried disabling it and things seem snappier (still testing). wonder what it could be...
[18:27] <BluesKaj> in order to download the file you need to open ktorrent , tranquilwaters , configure ktorrent to save the file in a folder of your choice , there's no automatic way that I know of to save the file without DLing it
[18:28] <tranquilwaters> BluesKaj: I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough. It is a setting in rekonq. it is the same as choosing to either save a pdf to disk when you dl one on a website or to automatically open okular whenever you click a pdf-file on a site.
[18:29] <tranquilwaters> BluesKaj: first time you click/DL a filetype you get the question to Open / Save (or Cancel) the file and you can make rekonq remember that action
[18:30] <BluesKaj> yes, I saw your expalnation after my post , sorry dunno enough about rekonq to help with just saving the torrent url to a file
[18:30] <tranquilwaters> BluesKaj: I told rekonq to remember to Open torrent files with Ktorrent whenever I clicked a torrent on a website, but now I would rather have it that rekonq just dl's it to disk and doesn't do anything with Ktorrent.
[18:31] <yoyo> right click file>properties>wrench
[18:31] <BluesKaj> ok, then remove ktorrent and install kget , tranquilwaters :)
[18:34] <BluesKaj> not just remove tranquilwaters , purge it so if you decide to use it ater it doesn't use it's old config file and become the default torrent client again
[18:37] <tranquilwaters> BluesKaj: thanks, but it's not what I mean. I just want to tell rekonq to do something else with a certain file type (in this case torrent, but could be pdf or zip as well) than what it does now.
[18:39] <BluesKaj> yesit is tranquilwaters , unless you remove ktorrent extn from the rekonq path ,which it appears to have. the quick and dirty way is to get rid of ktorrent first by purging then setting up rekonq
[18:40] <DarthFrog> Here's an interesting read and a resource to point newbies to: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-kubuntu-11.04
[18:40] <tranquilwaters> where do I find that rekonq path?
[18:43] <BluesKaj> tranquilwaters, just purge ktorrent for now ..that's the quickest way
[18:45] <tranquilwaters> I don't want to lose my Ktorrent settings
[18:48] <DarthFrog> tranquilwaters: Then backup your settings directory first: ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/  and perhaps ~/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc as well.
[18:48] <tranquilwaters> ok I can try that
[18:49] <tranquilwaters> thanks
[18:49] <DarthFrog> BTW, "~" means your home directory, i.e. the output of "echo $HOME".
[18:50] <DarthFrog> Though you can use ~ directly, the shell understands it.
[18:51] <Daskreech> tranquilwaters: did you try right clicking and save as?
[18:53]  * BluesKaj better stay away from trying help ppl using rekonq ..it's not my fav anyway
[18:56] <BluesKaj> Daskreech, ktorrent pops up as the default , preventing save as
[18:59] <kalib> I wanna install flash player on my system.. should I install Adobe Flash OR flashplugin-nonfree?
[18:59] <Daskreech> BluesKaj: even on right click save as?
[19:00] <dbc254> Can't get firefox to open NOT in offline mode. . .
[19:01] <BluesKaj> Daskreech, well it wants to save it as  torrent file in the designated path , but when he decides to DL ktorrent is still in the path
[19:01] <Daskreech> ok
[19:02] <tranquilwaters> I found the solution
[19:03] <tranquilwaters> System settings // file associations // x-bittorrent ==> Embedded tab. the right settings were already set, but didn't work, so I changed settings, Applied and changed settings back and Applied again. restarted rekonq and it asked me again what to do with a torrent file
[19:03] <tranquilwaters> :)
[19:04] <tranquilwaters> thanks for your input guys :) it's great that there are people out there willing to help others :)
[19:08] <BluesKaj> tranquilwaters, so simple when you know where to look ...was trying to think od a way , file assocs in system settings never crossed my thick skull :)
[19:08] <tranquilwaters> stupid thing is, I did look there before and all settings where already correct. but somehow they needed a change, and reapplying XD
[19:09] <tranquilwaters> that's even harder to find out XD
[19:09] <tranquilwaters> I didn't know rekonq was that much integrated into KDE, but now i'll never forget ;-)
[19:09]  * BluesKaj tries to imprint
[19:10] <tranquilwaters> it's a really nice browser, will be even better when it gets chrome/ium extensions
[19:10] <BluesKaj> bbiab ...mail/post box
[19:10] <tranquilwaters> yeah I suddenly remembered it because that was the trick I had to use a few releases back when I had desktop effects problems.
[19:10] <tranquilwaters> oki
[19:13] <dbc254> does chrome suffer the same malady with this offline mode?
[19:15] <_lion__> malady
[19:18] <Daskreech> tranquilwaters: that's the current biggest appeal of rekonq
[19:19] <Daskreech>  if you login to something in Konqueror and bookmark it it will be bookmarked in Rekonq and your session will be alive there
[19:19] <Daskreech> That and it's webkit
[19:19] <Daskreech> dbc254: which malady is this?
[19:20] <dbc254> where you can't get it to open NOT in offline mode
[19:28] <tranquilwaters> rekonq has adblock in it by default, it is fast and looks nice! extensions would be the cherry on top for me
[19:28] <tranquilwaters> but it is great as it is already
[19:28] <Daskreech> dbc254: I wish I could get mine to go in offline mode
[19:29] <dbc254> firefox is faster for me
[19:32] <BluesKaj> rekonq would be ok if I could get a bookmarks bar across the top like chromium and FF ...I'm not a fan of sidebars
[19:32] <tranquilwaters> certainly there will be an extension for that eventually ;-)
[19:33] <BluesKaj> one would think it would be near the top of their agenda as a browser
[19:46] <dniMretsaM> it's dead in here
[19:50] <amichair> still diagnosing network latency - maybe someone can help? I now found when I do a simple wget, it stalls on resolving. on another computer on the LAN it doesn't. both point to the same dns (the router's). ipv6 not enabled as far as I can tell. nslookup gives immediate response. What could be delaying wget and browsers on one machine and not the other?
[20:09] <davidius> Anyone home?
[20:13] <dniMretsaM> I'm here
[20:17] <reiki> I'm kinda pokin my head in and out of here occasionally :)
[20:31] <davidius> Ok I've got Kbuntu 10.10 installed and Sysmonitor and htop are showing 100% CPU usage
[20:32] <davidius> however no process in htop is taking up 100% cpu usage
[20:33] <reiki> davidius: you have desktop effects on?
[20:33] <davidius> compiz eh not sure but think so
[20:33] <davidius> how do I check :-!
[20:33] <reiki> try turning off Blur
[20:35] <davidius> think I found it under system settings
[20:35] <davidius> turned off desktop effects (unticked the box) little effect now CPU at 96% constantly
[20:37] <dniMretsaM> run 'top' in termina
[20:37] <dniMretsaM> I think that will tell you what is taking up the most CPU
[20:37] <davidius> I installed htop
[20:37] <davidius> running htop showws 96% constant usage, highest process is root running XOrg
[20:38] <davidius> htop is showing up 100% CPU usage
[20:38] <davidius> sorry htop showing 96%
[20:39] <dniMretsaM> r u using pidgin? that can take up a lot of CPU/RAM
[20:40] <davidius> using quassel IRC think Pidgin is installed but not running. If pidgin was using up CPU would it not show it in htop?
[20:40] <dniMretsaM> yeah, it would show. just not at the top maybe
[20:41] <davidius> all the seraching I've done the solution was the person using htop to find the offending process and kill it but in my case htop is showing nothing that is taking up that much CPU, all the processes that htop is showing only amount to about 25% CPU usage yet at the top of the screen in htop it shows 96% CPU usage
[20:41] <davidius> I've gone through the list in htop and ordered it aswell
[20:42] <dniMretsaM> hmm, xorg only takes up 20% and under for me
[20:43] <dniMretsaM> what processor do u hav?
[20:43] <davidius> yep Xorg is holding stead at 18-20% CPU usage and a few other processes taking up the odd 1 or half percent
[20:43] <davidius> but nothing showing why CPU usage is at 96%
[20:44] <dniMretsaM> does it run at normal speed?
[20:44] <dniMretsaM> because it might just be showing that it's running at 96%
[20:45] <dniMretsaM> (I've seen glitches do weirder things)
[20:45] <davidius> well it seems to run fine but when I go to run something it runs slow, even like running firefox the pages take ages to load
[20:46] <dniMretsaM> hmm. try rebooting. that might kill the invisible offending program. even logging out and then back in might do it.
[20:46] <dniMretsaM> do you have a lot of widgets on your desktop?
[20:46] <davidius> nope no widgets
[20:47] <dniMretsaM> this is weird.
[20:48] <dniMretsaM> unless you have a really old processor, this shouldn't b happening
[20:48] <davidius> hmmmmmmm just noticed something here user www-data is running a shit load of processes that are showing as taking up 0% CPU and 0.2% MEM and a few for Java too but Mem is showing 404 out of 1499
[20:48] <dniMretsaM> try the restart and c what happens
[20:48] <dniMretsaM> I wonder what that means
[20:48] <dniMretsaM> google time
[20:50] <davidius> Its a Dell Lattitude D610 Pentium M 750 1.86
[20:50] <davidius> should be well able for Kbuntu
[20:50] <davidius> Restart does nothing
[20:50] <dniMretsaM> u have a server (apache?) running? that seems to b what it's for
[20:50] <davidius> have restarted it 5 times today no difference as soon as I boot up I open System Monitor and it shows me 100% CPU usage
[20:51] <dniMretsaM> yeah, that should b fine. I run Kubuntu on a Dell Dimension 2400 with an Intel Celeron 2.4Ghz on 512MB of RAM
[20:54] <davidius> Ok dont seem to be able to kill and process in htop, I press F9 then sigterm and it stays there
[20:54] <davidius> plus if I try to kill it using the PID in another terminal window it says PID not found?
[20:55] <dniMretsaM> odd...
[20:56] <davidius> its killall -9 <PID> right?
[20:56] <dniMretsaM> what's the -9 for?
[20:56] <wn1zid> all
[20:57] <dniMretsaM> when I kill a program, I use killall <program>
[20:57] <wn1zid> pkill  (program) usually does it tho,
[20:57] <Daskreech> dniMretsaM: that tells the kernel to kill the program
[20:57] <OerHeks> dniMretsaM," kill -9 PID" when you know the PID
[20:58] <Daskreech> davidius: You have apache running?
[20:58] <dniMretsaM> oh, ok
[20:58] <dniMretsaM> I asked him that, he didn't answer. that's kinda my guess though
[20:58] <skramer_> you could either "kill -9 <PID>" or "killall <program>
[20:58] <davidius> Yep but its showing zero CPU usage and very little mem usage 0.2
[20:59] <davidius> killall -9 and killall did not work for my apache process
[20:59] <Daskreech> davidius: it's responsible for those processes
[20:59] <davidius> but pkill worked?
[20:59] <Daskreech> they don't do anything unless you start serving pages
[20:59] <OerHeks> killall is better, for multiple instances of a programm
[20:59] <davidius> ok I know that but htop is showing its using 0 CPU so is it iddle?
[20:59] <Daskreech> you can /etc/init.d/apache2 stop if you want to get rid of them
[20:59] <Daskreech> it's idle
[21:00] <davidius> Cheers OerHecks - good to know. I alwasy like tidbits of knowledge like that I'll use it from now on
[21:02] <davidius> ok stopped apache but no difference in the Cpu usage
[21:02] <davidius> it was idle anway
[21:02] <davidius> could htop be faulty?
[21:03] <davidius> Sys monitor is also showing 1005 CPU usage
[21:03] <dniMretsaM> btw, what is htop
[21:03] <dniMretsaM> and do u have a SWAP partition?
[21:04] <davidius> eh yep
[21:04] <davidius> two
[21:05] <davidius> I have this dualbooted
[21:07] <davidius> one s boot partition is vanilla kbuntu with nothing installed, the other one (the one Im running and booting now) is kbuntu with gnome and kde installed
[21:09] <reiki> oh, ack... I had all kinds of mess when I installed KDE and Gnome together. I just switched off of gnome to KDE completely.
[21:09] <davidius> hmmm ok
[21:10] <reiki> I know you're supposed to be able to do it, but it has always caused problems when I've tried and I go back to August of 2005 trying to get them both in the same boot and playing nice. The reality of it is that it never worked well for me
[21:10] <OerHeks> reiki, solution: install side by side
[21:10] <reiki> as a consequence, I am of the opinion that you should pick one :)
[21:11] <dniMretsaM> and u should pick KDE
[21:11] <reiki> OerHeks: side by side as in separate partitions... right? Not gnome-desktop and kde-desktop in the same one
[21:11] <OerHeks> reiki yes
[21:12] <davidius> yep I have them both installed on the same boot partition the one Im running now
[21:12] <reiki> dniMretsaM: I've tried KDE several times over the years and gave up because I couldn't find dtuff. Running Kubuntu 11.04 now and it's a whole different experience. I really like it
[21:12] <davidius> interesting reiki might try it soon
[21:12] <reiki> and "dtuff" == "stuff" in case you're wondering heheheh
[21:13] <dniMretsaM> figured lol
[21:13] <davidius> I thought it was short for "all d stuff " :-P
[21:13] <Daskreech> alt+F2
[21:13] <dniMretsaM> I've heard that Kubuntu 11.04 is one of the best Kubuntu releases in a while
[21:13] <reiki> davidius: I've been a "gnome guy" since 2005. I just switched this week after testing it on an eSATA external for about a week
[21:13] <Daskreech> reiki: welcome to KDE :)
[21:13] <reiki> Daskreech: thanks! :)
[21:14] <davidius> ok so no other ideas on how to find this CPU hogging ghost process
[21:14] <dniMretsaM> I wouldn't know personally since this is the first time I've used Kubuntu
[21:14] <davidius> Ive got a slimerr in my system :-P
[21:14] <dniMretsaM> I used Ubuntu for a while, but I switched because my graphics card couldn't handle Unity 3D
[21:15] <dniMretsaM> for a while = since mid-march
[21:15] <rockguy32> Ok this is really annoying me. I just installed Quake 3, but the sound isn't working. It keeps returning /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
[21:15] <rockguy32> Could not open /dev/dsp
[21:16] <reiki> I have a 512MB ATI HD4330 in an MXM slot (like a laptop). 8GB memory, an AMD Neo X2 6850e (dual core). 750GB hard drive... actually running quite nicely. This is a Dell ZinoHD.
[21:17] <reiki> once I figured out how to access the overscan feature of the catalyst control center, fglrx is actually working well for me too... heheh
[21:18] <reiki> I'm old. Change is difficult :)
[21:19] <rockguy32> The thing is Unreal Tournament 2004 works fine, so it's something with Quake specifically.
[21:23] <dniMretsaM> a burst of discussion and then silence
[21:25] <reiki> they didn't want to comment on my old age hehehehe
[21:25] <rockguy32> I think it was my quake question that killed it all. Apparently nobody knows.
[21:25] <dniMretsaM> lol how old (if u don't mind me asking)?
[21:26] <reiki> dniMretsaM: 59
[21:26] <dniMretsaM> we're a little ways appart
[21:26] <dniMretsaM> I'm 15
[21:26] <reiki> hahahha... I have socks older than you :)
[21:27] <dniMretsaM> haha
[21:27] <reiki> my youngest son is.... uhhh.... 26
[21:27] <dniMretsaM> I'll b 16 in July though
[21:27] <dniMretsaM> !
[21:27] <reiki> gotta go make dinner... will be peaking in occasionally 'cause I'm nosey
[21:28] <dniMretsaM> l84
[21:28] <dniMretsaM> l8r*
[21:29] <kubu2> wot?  this is now a dating room?
[21:33] <dniMretsaM> wut?
[21:33] <dniMretsaM> no, I just asked how old he was
[21:47] <vbgunz> BluesKaj: no luck getting my framebuffer to support 1080. Nouveau is the only thing that can do it and nothing else. Sucks but I'm exhausted and giving up. Just thought I let you know.
[21:51] <reiki> kubu2: my fault. I mentioned I was old. dniMretsaM just asked HOW old so I told him. :)
[21:51] <dniMretsaM> I'm out peeps
[21:51] <dniMretsaM> c u guys later
[21:53] <SIR_Taco> reiki: just tell him to get off your lawn, and it will be alright haha
[21:54] <reiki> :D
[21:54] <di3gopa> Hello everyone, i am not actually using kubuntu right now, i am using ubuntu but i installed kde-standart, so i am in kde now, but for some reason everything looks blurry, any idea why? thanks!
[21:55] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: do you have your glasses on? :)
[21:55] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: hahaha xD... yes i do :)
[21:56] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: haha ok... so how do you mean blurry? Distorted? Washed colours?
[21:56] <ert65> i'am using kubuntu 11.04 64bit and have problem with flash player there some black squares. Any ideas?!?! :S
[21:57] <SIR_Taco> everything is blurry, or jsut certain parts?
[21:57] <SIR_Taco> ert65: with which browser?
[21:57] <lcb> hiAll
[21:57] <ert65> mozilla
[21:57] <ert65> 4.0.1
[21:57] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: like if i where without glasses, everething logos, fonts...
[21:57] <SIR_Taco> ert65: Nvidia card?
[21:57] <ert65> ati
[21:58] <ert65> hd4500
[21:58] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: very odd... are you sure blur isn't set in the desktop effects?
[21:58] <afief> I'm looking for kfontutils.h, but it doesn't seem to be available in any kubuntu package(api.kde.org says it should be in kdelibs)... does anybody know what's going on?
[21:59] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: ill check, maybe are just the fonts and i am getting crazy
[21:59] <di3gopa> i searched on google and there are some people with almost the same problem
[21:59] <SIR_Taco> ert65: I get the same (with my Nvidia card)... but it seems to depend on the site and what kind of flash-video player they are using
[21:59] <reiki> ert65: I have ATI HD4330. Your desktop should not be blurry. What resolution is it at?
[22:00] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: try checking out System Settings -> Desktop Effects -> All Effects Tab -> Blur
[22:00] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: ok, thanks ill check
[22:00] <mandrak73> Tem brasileiro ai
[22:00] <ert65> my desktop is perfect for now ;) 1366x768
[22:01] <ert65> i don't have problem with blur
[22:01] <ert65> but adobe flash player....
[22:01] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: nope, i disable it and still blurry
[22:01] <SIR_Taco> ert65: I've found it's a little better with Chromium... but it seems to be more of a problem with flash and their Linux support... usually looks fine when you make it full-screen
[22:02] <SIR_Taco>  di3gopa: any chance you can post a screenshot?
[22:02] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: sure, lets see if the screenshot would capture that
[22:02] <ert65> with chromium is almost same and yes i also thought the problem is with the linux support
[22:03] <ert65> thanks
[22:04] <SIR_Taco> ert65: I do believe it has to do with the hardware acceleration in Flash.... sometimes (depending on what flash player.... ie: Youtube is fine) it fails to redraw correctly
[22:05] <moes> Kubuntu 10.04...I am not seeing the background widget in system settings>desktop...I have tried kwin window manager and compiz...Kubuntu search show it at that location
[22:05] <Belial> Is anyone sucessfully using the kde network manager applet to connect to cisco VPN's via vpnc? Its worked a few times sporadicly, but now just seems to always fail. kvpn doesnt suffer the same issue, but would rather everything be nice and integrated without resorting to nm-applet
[22:06] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: http://imagebin.org/153907
[22:07] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: that doesn't look blurry to me...
[22:07] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: so everything is blurry? fonts, window dressings, toolbar, etc?
[22:07] <raminder> can some body help get started on building a kde worksapce
[22:08] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: yes
[22:08] <raminder> ...
[22:08] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: is your monitor cable plugged in securely?
[22:08] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: yes haha
[22:08] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: do you have an LCD/LED or a CRT?
[22:09] <raminder> or a link to a good source to get started
[22:09] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: don't laugh... you have me stumped lol
[22:09] <di3gopa> LED, the thing is if i use unity or if i boot kubuntu live CD it looks great
[22:09] <di3gopa> ok :( hah
[22:10] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: what if you disable desktop effects entirely?
[22:10] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: no i didnt, let mi try
[22:10] <SIR_Taco> ok
[22:11] <moes>  Kubuntu 10.04...I am not seeing the background widget in system settings>desktop...I have tried kwin window manager and compiz...Kubuntu search show it at that location...I want to change wallpaper
[22:14] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: nothing :s haha this is strange, i have a friend here and he says that looks blurry so its not me haha
[22:14] <SIR_Taco> moes: right click on the desktop, and select Desktop Settings
[22:15] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: is he wearing his glasses too? lol
[22:15] <moes> SIR_Taco, No desktop setting by right clicking on desktop
[22:16] <SIR_Taco> moes: how about Desktop Options -> Desktop Settings?
[22:17] <moes> SIR_Taco, Also not available
[22:17] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: lol
[22:17] <SIR_Taco> moes: what do you have for right-click menu options then?
[22:18] <franktitas> buonasera italiani
[22:18] <franktitas> e non
[22:18] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: what video card?
[22:18] <franktitas> hello people
[22:19] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: ati 4200
[22:19] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: laptop or desktop?
[22:19] <SIR_Taco> hi franktitas
[22:20] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: laptop, this computer has 2 vide cards but the ati drivers  only linux only regonize one of then, the integrated one,
[22:20] <franktitas> hi sir taco
[22:20] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: are you using the drivers from ATI/AMD or the open source ones?
[22:21] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: from ati
[22:22] <moes> SIR_Taco, I got it ...Thanks for the help
[22:22] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: you couldn't give me an easy answer like: "oh yea, I'm using some strange driver" lol
[22:22] <SIR_Taco> moes: good to hear, you're welcome
[22:22] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: hahaha
[22:23] <James147> di3gopa: just the fonts?
[22:24] <di3gopa> James147: no, everything, could it be something related with the anti-aliasing??
[22:24] <James147> di3gopa: probally
[22:25] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: the only problem is... that it's hard to figure that its a driver and/or software problem, when your screenshot is normal.... you don't have an extra monitor around by chance?
[22:25] <franktitas> i am a newbie of kubuntu i need to install adobeairsdk who can help me?????????????????
[22:26] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: yes i do, let me check with my other monitor, i understand, it is hard to figure it out, and thanks a lot for the help!  ill check on the monitor

[22:34] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: hey i am on the other monitor right now, it looks good in here, so its something with the videocard then...
[22:34] <di3gopa> because it dows not look blurry with gnonme
[22:34] <di3gopa> on the laptop's monitor
[22:35] <SIR_Taco> di3gopa: There are two potential problems... either the screen is bad, or it set to a higher resolution and/or refresh rate than it should be
[22:36] <di3gopa> SIR_Taco: maybe the refresh rate, the screen is good because it is wornking well on gnome :), thanks a lot for the help!!
