[00:22] Yes, right-click, remove entry [00:22] or just hide [00:22] either way [00:24] thank you [00:24] it seems KDE/Dolphin does not preview image files.. [00:25] I had this problem after upgrading to 11.04 [00:26] go into its settings and just set all the checkmarks again [00:26] or just for the image types, whichever you prefer [00:26] i need some Free GIS applications [00:26] anyone [00:26] in Dolphin settings under General > Preview [00:26] what#s GIS?

[00:29] Monika: got it working [00:30] I have to check "preview" in View menu [00:30] yeah, that's the same as pressing the Preview button [00:30] what other applicatrion can i use i am a graphics designer [00:31] install marble === matic is now known as Guest27452 [01:39] I have an application that, as it runs, opens a closes a child window several times. Is there a way I can make the task bar ignore this window so it's not playing havoc with the rest of my system? [01:50] Greetings, all. [01:51] hi [01:51] hi LINKSWORD2 [01:52] :O Whatever it is, I swear I'm innocent!!! [01:52] Wait... Nevermind. Guilty conscience... [01:54] you did something [01:54] LOL! Nah. [01:54] you said hi all [01:54] and all... is absent [01:54] It's sort of a joke... [01:54] :) [01:56] lcb: he wants you to think he did something [01:56] LINKSWORD2: sorry about that in advacne [01:56] And... Well, about ten years ago, one of my classmates in high school rolled his truck and left this world. [01:56] Linkmaster: so you are there too. good morning. [01:56] Morning? I quite think its the opposite here xD [01:57] Linkmaster: good Sunday [01:57] ohh whatever, have a good one :p [01:57] Sunday??? I think its a Saturday in these parts [01:58] here sunday already, almost 2am [01:58] About a week before, the principal had been standing behind his chair in class, and decided to rather loudly close a book. [01:58] Our friend, known for a guilty conscience, said; "Whatever it is, I swear I'm innocent!" [01:58] hehehe [01:58] Now of course, don't get me wrong, thats just what my lil ole computer tells me. For all we know, the world could have been offbalance since the beginning of measurements, making the world a different date [01:58] and LINKSWORD2 that made me laugh :P [01:59] So... My words are somewhat of a joke, and partly a tribute to him, as he left this world all too soon.... [02:00] LINKSWORD2: i do that a lot too, joking w/ppl. but indeed there is somewhere, somehow, a guilty conscience in me. [02:00] I'm never guilty [02:00] >.> [02:00] <.< [02:00] 3 a.m. here [02:00] lcb: I encourage you to please read the whole story.... [02:01] LinkmasterAngel [02:01] Angel?! YOU MUST BE JOKING!!!! [02:01] c: [02:02] * LINKSWORD2 can see the Devil horns on Linkmaster's head... [02:02] * Linkmaster is hovering with a soft glow around him. w/o Devil horns [02:02] c:0 [02:03] LINKSWORD2: i didn't read the first msg of what you wrote. the sad one. sorry about that. [02:03] lcb: I assume you have seen the whole story, now? [02:03] LINKSWORD2: yeap [02:04] hello [02:04] hello [02:04] hello gundri [02:04] Greetings. [02:04] LINKSWORD2: I just noticed the first part now, and I feel bad for laughing [02:05] hello icb [02:05] * LINKSWORD2 beats Linkmaster across the head with an old AT keyboard! [02:05] i am new here.. [02:05] they are still usable LINKSWORD2. Linkmaster keep it [02:05] * Linkmaster dodges, and wonders if we should bring this to #kubuntu-offtopic [02:06] gundri: i'm the oldest one here. about 56 yrs young [02:06] oops, got scared [02:06] woww [02:07] Yeah, well, she looked death into the eyes. [02:07] hehehe [02:07] HEllo [02:07] I have a question [02:07] hi M [02:07] ask your question [02:07] The_Letter_M: me 2 [02:07] gundri, here's a little FYI: "lcb"s name is compilation of the lowercase L-C-B. It angers him to be called "icb" [02:07] The_Letter_M: can i ask first? [02:08] yeah [02:08] The_Letter_M: my question is; hat's your question? [02:08] what's too [02:08] * LINKSWORD2 *Facepalm.* [02:08] :p [02:08] lcb: well, hats are fairly explainable [02:08] löl [02:08] lol [02:08] they go on your head, cover from sun, rain, other elements, and generally look pleasing [02:09] only now i noticed we aren't at offtopic... [02:09] And if your name is Link, they look quite good if they're long and floppy. :) [02:09] I have a nettop (as in Atom processor w/ no CDROM or Floppy drive) running Kubuntu, I need to flash the BIOS. Is there a way to do it directly from Kubuntu, or is there a good way I can do it from a USB stick? [02:09] * Linkmaster had mentioned it before [02:10] * Linkmaster also doesn't mess with BIOS flashing [02:10] LINKSWORD2: :) [02:10] * LINKSWORD2 agrees [02:10] LINKSWORD2: get in -offtopic [02:10] I.T. commandments: Thou Shalt not touch the BIOS. [02:10] lol [02:11] :Thou Shalt not touch the kernel [02:11] lol [02:11] Thou Shalt not also use Winblows [02:11] Nee nee nee: Thou shalt recompile teh kernel. [02:11] Eh, yeah... I'm not that crazy. [02:11] Monika: thats allowed, since your fixing it [02:12] The last time I tried to touch the kernel, it popped... And I got popcorn.... [02:12] The_Letter_M: read the whole procedure. you might have a readyou.txt file with the bios upgrade [02:12] :D [02:12] :/ [02:12] Edit: Thou Shalt not use Windows unless its XP and removed of useless bloat [02:13] Well I was running Vanilla Natty, then switched to Fedora 15, then to Kubuntu [02:13] Thou shalt not use Windows, especially not XP. Windows 2000 may be used in emergencies. [02:13] wis there a Mini Kubuntu, Linkmaster? :P [02:14] I have a problem that occurs in both versions of Ubuntu but not in Fedora [02:14] I'm hoping updating my BIOS fixes it [02:14] The_Letter_M usually BIOS cannot be flashe from within an OS. [02:14] lcb: possibly? Not sure :P [02:14] hm, if it does not occur in Fedora, that indicates it would not be a BIOS problem [02:14] Actually [02:14] hmm [02:14] Monika is correct, concerning that it would not be a BIOS issue, in that case. [02:15] Monika: XP isn't that bad...if its had the crap hacked out of it [02:15] I've seen some that do it from within Windows [02:15] but only in Windows [02:15] XP is colorful, a giant security hole and needs to be registered. [02:15] The_Letter_M: some upgrades yes, not for all motherboards, afaik [02:16] right [02:16] Yeah... [02:16] But that's not my issue [02:16] I need to figure out how to flash it directly from Linux or from a USB drive [02:16] The_Letter_M: read the info files and BEFORE select/download the correct one [02:16] Most, and again I say MOST updates to the BIOS can be flashed via CD or USB... Or in the case of older systems... Floppy. [02:17] But good luck finding a working floppy. lol [02:17] The_Letter_M: very careful doing that. but, in meantime, there are some live boot cd utilities with bios upgrades [02:21] ping [02:21] * lcb pong [02:21] pong [02:21] :p [02:21] so quiet i got bored, so i decided to play a bit [02:23] weird - my WLAN didn't connect to one hidden wireless (with correct info inputed). i had to open it. [03:05] Anyone can help troubleshoot a Akonadi Mysql conflice? [03:05] conflict? [03:50] can someone help me figure out why my kwin desktop effects have suddently stopped working? desktop cube, cover switch, etc [04:00] Magnusson: are they on? [04:01] Daskreech>yep, at least they're checked in system settings. whenever i click apply , i get the popup "the following desktop effects could not be enabled" and then lists all those [04:02] Magnusson: did you hav any changes before this happened? [04:02] no :( [04:02] had been working just fine [04:10] Hellos [04:10] Daskreech>is there an error file somewhere or something i could possibly look at to figure out what's wrong? [04:10] Hi CartoonCat [04:10] Magnusson: hmm I think so [04:10] im having a issue and i am sure i need ot reinstall qt and libc, but not sure how to do with kpackage [04:10] hello Daskreech [04:11] Magnusson: ~/.xsession-errors I think [04:56] Huomenta. [04:57] Oh, Good Morning. (I just realized this might be international channel) [04:58] Good evening, you're correct :) [05:00] !en [05:00] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [05:00] Is this the "right" place to whine about Kubuntu? ;) (My very first time with KDE desktop on my HD) [05:00] matti_: yes :) [05:02] No, I don't want to be whiney, but I wonder why the Kubuntu installer is so "hard" to me. (I've been using ubuntu so far, but now the unity made me consider other DE's) [05:02] i love this better than unity [05:02] i bet tons of people will show up here now [05:02] Don't like the new Ubuntu? [05:03] heck no [05:03] There's a simple way to return back to gnome, rather then sticking with the Unity implimentation. [05:04] i got some issues with sound. It doesnt work. It worked ( ok ) but in kubuntu i got nothing. [05:04] brandon: i tried that.. it was still broke. had to go back to ubuntu classic no frills to get it to work [05:04] kubuntu works great [05:04] save for the sound. [05:05] And with this I mean the Hard Drive partition part. Only "auto- full disk" option, and of course, the manual "hard" way.. And I tried the "old" gnome, but, I .. Oh, nikon-lappy just sayed it.. [05:05] Yeah, personally I prefere the Maveric Meerkat, I don't blame you. [05:06] matti_: The installer is the same as Ubuntu [05:06] what makes it more difficult? [05:07] I made "plenty" free space on my HD, just blank.. And it didn't offer me a chance to install to a free space.. (sry for my poor english :) ) [05:08] And I'm dual bootin this with vista.. That is why I didn't use the auto mode.. [05:09] But got it on HD, with asking help with my old frien Google. ;) [05:14] And I don't say it doesn't offer it, but it didn't show up for me. (This maybe is a user related problem) [05:16] Daskreech>still working on it, but realized i forgot to thank you at the time after i got lost trying to fix it :) [05:16] matti_: how did yo uget it working? [05:16] Magnusson: You ar welcome :) [05:17] hey Magnusson long time no see [05:18] (If problem at all) And what I mean all this, is that many user with lack of knowledge may be skipping this KDE-version, only for that reason. (I have tried many times Kubuntu and I haven't got balls to try install it on HD) I manually "prepared" my HD, with help of some site google suggested. === matic is now known as Guest63331 [05:19] hey preecher, was wondering if you were around. yeah i've been out of town [05:25] matti_: whats the problem? [05:28] I have no problem, I just "whine" about the installer.. On ubuntu installer it gave option "use blank space on HD" and yesterday, when I installed this, the Kubuntu installer only suggested "full disk" (250 gb) or "manual partitioning". (There were space which weren't formatted in my HD) [05:36] I'm having problems with my broadcom wireless on 11.04 and the ubuntu website keeps suggesting articles from old distros [05:37] This is "old" version, but exactly the same situation that I had. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall/Kubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=single_boot.jpg [05:38] There were no automated option to install side of Vista [05:38] are you trying to get rid of vista? [05:38] or dual boot? === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [05:39] Dual boot. (i'm CSS addict. ;) ) [05:42] CSS works in linux [05:42] i think steam has a linux version i may be wrong [05:46] But it doesn't solve the installer "problem" :P I found familiar picture on ubuntu installer.. http://ubuntu.ninetomidnight.com/images/book/install/partition_allwindows.png [05:47] And the option "Guided- use largest continuous free space" is what I'm missing.. ;) [05:47] hmm [05:48] what do your drives look like? [05:48] usually you are going to install kubuntu on the unpartitioned space [05:51] I have installed Kubuntu now, and I did have unpartitioned space on my HD. (Used Live-ubuntu disk to make the free space) And all what I'm whining now, is that the installer isn't really "noob-friendly". (I think) [05:52] So, I don't have problem's (with Kubuntu), but really wanted to "shout" it out.. Sorry all, if I didn't got my point out. [05:54] (or is it "point clear") [05:55] Maybe I'll try, if there is someone wake at our native chat. (it is really early sunday morning here..) [06:01] matti_: it is actually pretty noob friendly.. and you did what you should have.. googled it [06:08] And that's why I very early in my posts asked if this is right place to whine.. ;) I'm not a troll, atleast it weren't my purpose. I just wanted to complain that I didn't find the installer easy. :) [06:08] no you are fine.. although if this was a more active channel they would ask you to take it to off topic [06:09] they love suggestions.. how would you change the process? [06:09] matti_: :) [06:10] And I think I'm not the only one. I would like it to have option to install "spare space" or "unpartitioned space", whichever is the right.. [06:11] (If there is enough raw sectors on hard drive) [06:12] (My English is so poor, I don't propably find the right words) [06:13] matti_: it works well enough [06:13] (And the kubuntu-fi channel is dead, as I thought it to be this early.. So, U have to stand my complains.. :) ) [06:15] YEs, that is something I can agree.. Even I got it installed and dual booting with Vista.. But is "well enough" enough, if U R perfectionist? :) [06:20] And the "main" idea of my complaining is that I'm little bitter, that I didn't have enough courage to partition the HD myself earlier. (Maybe even some info screen before the hard drive part of the installer would be nice) [06:20] hrmf. bcm4312 not supported on a dell. [06:22] *not explicitly supported .. same pci device as the supported hp and lenovo... so why doesn't it work [06:24] ... I'm quite sure that there's nothing to talk about, tonight. [06:25] heh.. all the real hackers are unplugged [06:26] lol [06:27] I don't suppose you know how to change the color scheme of the Konsole system terminal? [06:27] I used to [06:28] ... :( [06:29] I've forgotten though. All this windowing when I'm not earning a living offline got me spoilt. === c2tarun_ is now known as c2tarun [06:34] welcome back, c2tarun [06:34] :) [06:35] Simple question... Is there a way to change the color scheme of the Konsole system terminal? [06:35] If so... How? [06:36] well changing is color in konsole is possible, as we have to edit ~/.bashrc file [06:37] ... That does not sound easy. [06:37] well I heard its not that difficult [06:39] LINKSWORD2, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Customize-the-Shell-Prompt-40033.shtml [06:39] this may help ^^ [06:41] Hmm.... [06:48] c2, the link in that tutorial does not work. [07:01] LINKSWORD2, what do you mean by does not work? [07:03] At the bottom of the tutorial, there's an http address to the modification files. [07:08] c2tarun, try out that tutorial if you wish. Maybe you know more about it than me. [07:08] But the link at the far bottom is a dead-end. The file it's supposed to download is not present. [07:09] LINKSWORD2, sorry I am not on kubuntu right now.. using ubuntu for a while :) [07:09] -_- [07:10] In that case, I'm not going to bother with it anymore tonight. [07:10] I'm logging off. [07:11] this is sad ... I'm running a "live" boot on my new (to me) laptop, made all kinds of changes ... and don't have a working casper setup [07:28] ubuntu_user, live?? [07:28] yeah [07:28] pendrive boot [07:29] so what's the problem? [07:29] can't save all my changes cause they're *poof* gone when I reboot [07:31] ubuntu_user, well, you can't save changes in live boot [07:31] you can with a casper setup.. I did before .. just dont have it set up this time === kostya is now known as Kostanakis [07:58] hi [07:58] hola [07:58] tengo un problema [07:59] hola a todos [07:59] hi everyone === matic is now known as Guest50748 === Keshl_ is now known as Keshl === Spawn is now known as Guest36756 [08:50] how can I join #help channel? my IP got banned and i need assistance [09:00] how do you use 'git'? for example, I have: git clone http://anongit.kde.org/koffice but don't know what to do with it [09:28] hello friends..

[11:50] you should get an icon in the tray [11:51] click on it and a window should pop up [11:51] you can change screen resolution and rotation [11:52] Kat_87, the resolution 1280x1024 isn't available [11:52] strange [11:52] ok what if you type "nvidia" on krunner [11:53] do you get the nvidia settings link? [11:53] Kat_87, yes [11:53] open it [11:53] Kat_87, ok [11:54] click on xserver display config [11:54] Kat_87, ok [11:54] and there should be a resolution menu [11:55] Kat_87, the resolution 1280x1024 isn't available either [11:55] Kat_87, isn't is possible to configure xorg.conf directly ? [11:56] what does /etc/X11/xorg.conf say? [11:56] Kat_87, it is extremely short (16 lines) [11:56] are you using natty? [11:57] or maverick [11:57] Kat_87, no, maverick [11:58] ok [11:58] can you post what xorg says [11:59] Kat_87, where ? [11:59] here or you could pm [11:59] Section "Screen" [11:59] Identifier "Default Screen" [11:59] DefaultDepth 24 [11:59] EndSection [11:59] Section "Module" [11:59] Load "glx" [11:59] gribouille: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:01] EndSection [12:05] Kat_87, I have pasted the whole contents of the file [12:06] is that it? [12:06] then maybe that is the problem [12:06] so you don't get any mention of nvidia on the config file [12:06] ok [12:08] my config says [12:08] Section "Device" [12:09] Identifier "Default Device" [12:09] Driver "nvidia" [12:09] Option "NoLogo" "True" [12:09] EndSection [12:10] Kat_87, isn't it possible to generate a default configuration file automatically ? [12:10] do you have any backups on the X11 folder? [12:11] Kat_87, I have xorg.conf xorg.conf.failsafe xorg.conf.new [12:11] what about them [12:11] what do they say? [12:11] Kat_87, I tried to use xorg.conf.new, but it didn't work [12:12] Kat_87, I'm sure there is a way to generate the config file, but I don't know how [12:12] you could try with system-config-display [12:12] make sure you backup your xorg.conf file first [12:13] Kat_87, that's done [12:13] Hi...all i'm facing a problem in qt packages that are provided in 11.04 [12:13] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf [12:13] does that help? [12:13] Kat_87, let me see [12:14] I upgraded my qt ubuntu package today and now i'm getting 'Qt compiled without support for -fvisibility=hidden' message while running cmake for calligra... http://paste.kde.org/78631/ . Is it the problem with qt package of ubuntu or am I missing something? [12:15] This error comes not only for calligra but basically any kde app that I try to compile from source [12:18] bac [12:19] gribouille: you could also try deleting xorg.conf and rebooting [12:19] that should generate a default one [12:20] Kat_87, will the default one be better than the one I pasted ? [12:21] the one you pasted was incomplete [12:21] it lacked the section where the driver is specified [12:21] I'm surprised you get x to start at all [12:21] what version of x are you using by the way [12:22] it's not the 1.10 [12:23] maverick should have 1.9.0 [12:24] so yeah try with the default one [12:24] if it's not better just restore the backup === DevCore is now known as projectxeno === projectxeno is now known as DevCore [12:27] I run dexconf an its exit code is 10, but I get no error message [12:27] does xorg.conf looks fine? [12:28] Kat_87, it isn't modified [12:28] just delete it [12:28] maybe it will change it [12:28] is it a known bug that watching flash videos (YouTube in my example) casues X crash or what happened me a while ago: restart of system? [12:28] or delete and reboot [12:29] no matter what browser I am using [12:29] ryrych, is hardware acceleration enabled in flash? [12:29] Kat_87, I can't reboot right now [12:29] restart x? [12:30] Kat_87, neither [12:30] Kat_87: do you enable it via rmb? [12:31] ryrych: right click on the flash video, settings, and there should be a checkbox [12:31]
