| hwolff | Hello, I have a problem with KDE, all my windows seem to be hidden behind the background window unless I set them to "Advanced -> Keep above others" | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| hwolff | kubuntu 11.04, Linux wolff-as 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 00:10 |
| chachan | hwolff, any widget? | 00:15 |
| hwolff | not that I know. How can I check? | 00:15 |
| chachan | try Ctrl+F12 | 00:16 |
| chachan | see anything? | 00:16 |
| chachan | also, check with another user | 00:16 |
| hwolff | 'Widget Dashboard (X)' -- and the desktop folder. | 00:16 |
| hwolff | I am the only user. | 00:17 |
| chachan | well, add another one :) | 00:17 |
| chachan | for testing of course | 00:17 |
| hwolff | Ok, another user is ok. | 00:21 |
| hwolff | Then again, I have two monitors, and this only happens on one of the, | 00:22 |
| hwolff | them | 00:22 |
| hwolff | Is it somehow possible that somehow the 'Keep above others' Flag was set on the background? | 00:25 |
| szal | never heard of that being possible | 00:26 |
| hwolff | let me try something, I might be back | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | backgrond on top :-D | 00:28 |
| szal | someone running Krusader & can tell me the supported archive formats? :) | 00:33 |
| szal | who the heck put Krusader 2.3.0-beta1 in universe? can we at least count on the maintainer(s) to backport all update releases? | 00:55 |
| szal | I don't expect it to be as world-shaking a release as 2.0 was, but still I find it surprising to find beta software in a supposedly stable distro, adding to that the fact that we aren't to expect actual version updates | 00:58 |
| Apple_Cat | How do I make shortcuts for kubuntu? simple links don't display nicely like the icons in the menu | 01:18 |
| eristikophiles | is there a reason why KDE always forgets that one of my panels goes on the left, not the right? it re-appears on the right after every boot | 01:35 |
| szal | Apple_Cat: shortcuts for what? | 01:35 |
| Apple_Cat | szal: Shorcuts to applications, or shortcuts to anything really, say even running a script. But be able to customise the icon and also to be able to move it into the menu or taskbar | 01:36 |
| eristikophiles | why don't you use a launcher in a panel? you can add scripts to that. any run command | 01:37 |
| szal | no idea about customizing icons, I never do that.. but moving icons into the _taskbar_ is not exactly a good idea; as soon as you launch a program, its task switcher will cover the icon.. better to move it someplace else on the panel ;) | 01:38 |
| szal | Apple_Cat: http://www.abload.de/img/20110522_fullscreenxdgh.png <- not Kubuntu, but the principle is the same; see the left side of the panel | 01:45 |
| Apple_Cat | szal: Oh yeah that was what I meant sorry : P panel/taskbar same thing | 01:46 |
| szal | Apple_Cat: nah, the taskbar is explicitly where the running programs are piled up ^^ | 01:47 |
| Apple_Cat | szal: But how do I make a launcher? I thought that's what a shortcut with an icon would be | 01:47 |
| szal | Apple_Cat: there's a quicklaunch applet available in 'Add widgets', you can pull icons inside that or just put the icons in the panel like I did | 01:49 |
| eristikophiles | anyway, i guess no one can help me with this strange issue. it's tough to google for since keywords like 'panel' and 'kde' together produce tons of other (useless) results | 01:49 |
| Apple_Cat | szal: All the launchers are just menus I can't customise, at one point I just had a folder full of ln -s or launching scrips and then added a folder viewer to the panel. Surely I'm doing it wrong and there's a better way to have custom shortcuts? | 01:49 |
| szal | just drag & drop from e.g. the menu, if you need to reposition, go to Panel Settings & move around to your liking | 01:49 |
| eristikophiles | Apple_Cat- the launcher widget can handle running any command | 01:49 |
| eristikophiles | if you set launchers up for scripts cool. though the icon might just look like a bland one; you *might* be able to assign it an icon but i don't know | 01:50 |
| Apple_Cat | szal: How do I make the little launchers though? Like when I pull one of the default icons out of the launcher and onto my desktop I get a cool launcher with an icon, how do I make a new one of those? | 01:51 |
| * szal doesn't put stuff on the desktop | 01:52 | |
| eristikophiles | the quicklaunch widget can hold launchers.. rightclick to get the menu to add/edit/remov | 01:53 |
| eristikophiles | e | 01:53 |
| eristikophiles | you can also drag 'em around like szal said | 01:53 |
| Apple_Cat | Oh I think I found out the answer, they are .desktop files | 01:54 |
| eristikophiles | fun | 01:54 |
| Apple_Cat | eristikophiles: Yeah, that worked too : ) | 01:54 |
| Apple_Cat | thanks for your help too, szal | 01:55 |

| fayaz_ | how do you quickly find out where a package was installed to? | 11:00 |
| szal | fayaz_: what for? | 11:13 |
| fayaz_ | szal: i was actually looking for a doc package's path... found it though... but wondering if apt-cache or dpkg would keep install paths for packages? | 11:15 |
| szal | fayaz_: docs go into /usr/share/doc/, and file paths are directly in the pkg, so there's nothing the pkg manager can do about them | 11:17 |
| fayaz_ | szal: okay... so i'd find any answers if i obtained the deb files? | 11:18 |
| szal | fayaz_: that'd be a way, but the easier method might be using dpkg directly for that, it has an option to list files in the pkg.. read the man page | 11:20 |

| e_t_ | You can ask anything you would like here. Whether someone has an answer cannot be known until you ask. | 16:28 |
| ajeng | test | 16:29 |
| confused2 | I am using Ubuntu 10.04lts and have a Nvidia NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4600] but I have to reconfigure the resolution every time I log in. How do I make the resolution change permanent? | 16:30 |
| Peace- | confused2: i guess you have to create xorg.conf | 16:32 |
| confused2 | That isn't automatically created? | 16:32 |
| e_t_ | With nVidia, it's really easy to set a permanent resolution. First, make sure you have the nvidia-settings package installed. Then, open the NVIDIA Xserver Settings (I think that's what it's called), set the screen resolution to what you want, and save it to the Xorg.conf file. | 16:32 |

| e_t_ | ajeng: Of course not. This is a text-only channel of communication. | 16:36 |
| confused2 | thanks for the help people, but I am not very knoledgable about using the innards of Linux. Where do I find the folder I need to go to and then create a file? | 16:37 |
| e_t_ | You don't want to even try creating the file manually, that's what the tools are for. | 16:38 |
| confused2 | e_t which tool do I use? | 16:38 |
| e_t_ | Open the K menu > Applications > Settings and look for something that says "nvidia" or similar. That's the tool you want to use. | 16:39 |
| muhammed | where | 16:40 |
| confused2 | e_t I didn't find it, I guess I need to install it. | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | confused2, did you install the recommended nvidia driver in kmenu/apps/system/addtitional drivers ? | 16:42 |
| confused2 | Yes I think so. | 16:43 |
| kubu2 | confused2: are u using Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 16:44 |
| BluesKaj | if you did you would have a nvidia control called "NvidiaXServer Settings" in kmenu/apps/settings as e_t_ pointed out earlier | 16:45 |
| e_t_ | Unless the Jockey driver install missed the nvidia-settings package. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings should get the right package, if in needs to be installed. | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | confused2, if not then you need to do as I posted above: install the recommended nvidia driver in kmenu/apps/system/addtitional drivers | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | yeah I have a bone to pick with devs on this one , there should be a notification in the package manager about nvidia additional drivers | 16:48 |
| kubu2 | BluesKaj: you are confusing confused2 with your kmenu/...blah blah | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | kubu2, that's where the proper driver is installed from | 16:49 |
| confused2 | kubu2 I installed ubuntu and installed kde later. Is that a problem? | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | kubu2, do you have a better idea ? if so let's hear it | 16:51 |
| BluesKaj | com that's not a problem ..which desktop are you using right now? | 16:52 |
| kubu2 | confused2: no but they are assuming you have kmenu when you said you have Ubuntu | 16:52 |
| BluesKaj | confused2, ^ | 16:52 |
| BluesKaj | another kde convert in the making :) | 16:53 |
| kubu2 | BluesKaj: the '/' in Linux means directories | 16:53 |
| confused2 | ok did the sudo apt get. Now do I need to log off and back on to get that to run? | 16:54 |
| e_t_ | No. | 16:54 |
| e_t_ | You should be able to find the menu entry now. | 16:55 |
| confused2 | I should see something in the menu now? | 16:55 |
| kubu2 | confused2: click on trhe 'K' menu and on search type nvidia | 16:55 |
| BluesKaj | confused2, granted but most ppl understand the difference , it's still a path | 16:55 |
| confused2 | nothing shows up in the search in the K menu when I type nvidia | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | confused2, >kmenu>applications>settings>additional drivers | 16:57 |
| confused2 | Bllueskaj I have used both and like kde only slightly better. | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | no matter did you find the additional drivers? | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | this works for gnome as well, btw | 16:58 |
| kubu2 | confused2: use Alt+F2 and type nvid | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | in gnome it's system>admin>additional drivers | 16:59 |
| confused2 | did not find additional drivers | 16:59 |
| confused2 | didn't show up in either place | 17:00 |
| BluesKaj | confused2, open a terminal , run : sudo lshw -C video ..tellus the output | 17:00 |
| confused2 | want the whole 10 lines or so? | 17:01 |
| kubu2 | confused2: you have nvidia-current and nvidia-settings installed? Then Alt+F2 + nvidia-settings to run it | 17:02 |
| BluesKaj | no just the one with video controller | 17:02 |
| confused2 | Blueskaj it is description: VGA compatible controller | 17:03 |
| confused2 | product: NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4600] | 17:03 |
| kubu2 | confused2: that's look like you the old legacy cards. you might need the nvidia-173 | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, haven't seen that one in a while 4000series | 17:05 |
| confused2 | kubu2 I tried that and got an error message, but at least it started something. | 17:05 |
| kubu2 | confused2: well that's good. BUt looks like your card might need legacy? drivers not sure. Go to Nividia site and look for the drivers | 17:07 |
| Phoenixz | Eh.. All of the sudden (I made *no* changes to my machine for the last 6 months) my Kubuntu 10.10 machine with KDE 4.6.1 has a memory consumption of >3GB from which 49% is for KDE and 12% is for polkitd, and polkitd is continuously taking some 15% of my CPU.. I've never even seen polkitd as a process, why are they suddenly (since today) having these values?? | 17:08 |
| confused2 | I need to look for a driver for the ti 4600 right? | 17:08 |
| kubu2 | or you can use the xserver-xorg-video-nv | 17:08 |
| confused2 | kubu2 how do I do that? | 17:09 |
| Phoenixz | Any known issues that may explain this behaviour? A reboot fixes the problem, but 30 minutes later Im at the same spot again.. | 17:09 |
| kubu2 | confused2: but I think you are using right now the noveau which is installed | 17:10 |
| kubu2 | confused2: as an alternative, in systemsettings->display & monitor there is a resolution drop down menu which you can use? | 17:11 |
| confused2 | kubu2 that is how I have been setting it every time I log in, I want to make it so I don't have to set it every time. | 17:13 |
| pawel_121 | hi | 17:17 |
| kubu2 | confused2: sorry I can't help you anymore as nvidia is kind of tricky. Normally what I do is use the Nvidia drivers and install them manually myself but that would be a pain for you | 17:18 |
| pawel_121 | KDE 4.6.4 is in Kubuntu backports, but it seems there's no new Kontact | 17:18 |
| pawel_121 | will it get into backports, too? | 17:18 |
| confused2 | Thanks for trying. Maybe I will try a different video card and see if that helps. | 17:19 |
| kubu2 | not backports. it's in ppa | 17:19 |
| kubu2 | confused2: ok. | 17:19 |
| pawel_121 | the same where Amarok is? | 17:19 |
| pawel_121 | kubu2: could you give me a name of this ppa? google shows only links to some beta versions | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | kubu2, it's in the backports, my 11.04 pc updated to 4.6.4 | 17:21 |
| pawel_121 | BluesKaj: my too, but Kontact is still old | 17:22 |
| kubu2 | pawel_121: I don't see kontact in there. Part of KDEPIM? | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | pawel_121, don't expect everything to update | 17:24 |
| kubu2 | pawel_121: From Kubuntu.orgt it's in kubuntu-ppa | 17:24 |
| pawel_121 | kubu2: yes, it's a part of KDE PIM | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | 4.7 is just around the corner | 17:24 |
| pawel_121 | kubu2:I have this ppa enabled, but Kontact is 4.4.10-0ubuntu4 | 17:25 |
| jimmy51_ | i'm trying to net boot my livecd off of an NFS share but on boot i get a permission denied error when trying to mount the share. what do i need to do? i set up the share following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 17:25 |
| pawel_121 | kubu2: kmail is old, too | 17:26 |
| pawel_121 | BluesKaj:I missed your comment: "don't expect everything to update" | 17:27 |
| kubu2 | pawel_121: I don't see any Kontact but I do see libkontac* | 17:28 |
| pawel_121 | yes, but I wonder if there's some way to have the new PIM in Kubuntu | 17:28 |
| kubu2 | it's not built yet I think | 17:28 |
| kubu2 | ask in kubuntu-devel | 17:28 |
| pawel_121 | kubu2: I searched in kpackagekit, but I'll do as you say | 17:29 |
| kubu2 | BluesKaj: you got your version number wrong | 17:29 |
| kubu2 | BluesKaj: plus 4.6.4 is not in backports | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | try kubu2 suggestion , run the ppa then update or dist-upgrade ...I just realized I had the ppas enabled | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | pawel_121, ^ | 17:32 |
| pawel_121 | BluesKaj:ppa command? | 17:32 |
| BluesKaj | kubu2, you're helpful , but pls , you're beginning to act like a troll | 17:33 |
| kubu2 | BluesKaj: really? I'm just trying to set things correctly. | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | add the ppa pawel_121, sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports | 17:34 |
| kubu2 | pawel_121: it should be kubuntu-ppa/ppa | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | kubu2, yes realy , | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | pawel_121, then sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | bbl .. | 17:35 |
| pawel_121 | BluesKaj: I have this enabled already :) | 17:36 |
| pawel_121 | I got a response from devel team | 17:36 |
| pawel_121 | devel: KDE PIM 4.6 is in experimental PPA | 17:37 |
| kubu2 | pawel_121: then it's not ready for prime time yet | 17:38 |
| pawel_121 | kubu2:right, it may go to natty backports after some time | 17:38 |
| pawel_121 | thank you both for your help, bye :) | 17:39 |

| nikitis | Question. My sshd port on my local server is set to 224. When I try to scp to it, i get error: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.4 port 22: connection refused. I use command "scp -r Documents/ -P 224 nikitis@192.168.1.4:~/Backup/ | 19:08 |
| nikitis | Why is it still saying port 22 when connecting? | 19:09 |
| slinker1 | because 22 is the default ssh port? | 19:09 |
| nikitis | slinker1: but i changed it to 224 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and reloaded it. | 19:10 |
| TammieD | im going to get a new video card for my 11.04 kubuntu computer it has a 2.5mhz celeron and 1gig of ram any particular chipset work better than the others | 19:10 |
| slinker1 | but unless in your scp command you are specifying port 224 it iwll still default ot 22 | 19:11 |
| nikitis | slinker1: see above, i specified 224 | 19:11 |
| slinker1 | you a gamer tammie? | 19:11 |
| nikitis | slinker1: -P 224 | 19:11 |
| TammieD | no mainly face book and flash games | 19:11 |
| slinker1 | doh sorry dude missed that | 19:11 |
| TammieD | but flash is so slow i dropped xp and came to liniux and machine is faster but flash games are twice as slow | 19:12 |
| TammieD | i just wanna be able to play flash games on facebook and i have an old intergrated intel chipset | 19:13 |
| nikitis | http://pastie.org/2048825 | 19:13 |
| slinker1 | pretty mush any card then will take the load off that celeron and have discreet memory | 19:13 |
| TammieD | whats the command for a terminal for it to tell me my video card and will it tell me how much video memeroy I have | 19:14 |
| nikitis | TammieD: lspci |grep VGA | 19:15 |
| TammieD | ty | 19:15 |
| nikitis | So no one knows why scp will not work for me? | 19:16 |
| genii-around | TammieD: Also: sudo lshw -C video | 19:16 |
| TammieD | intel 84845g is what i ahve | 19:18 |
| rww | nikitis: you need to specify options like -P before the source and destination | 19:19 |
| rww | nikitis: i.e., scp -rP 224 Documents/ nikitis@192.168.1.4:~/Backup/ | 19:19 |
| nikitis | rww: Ah thanks | 19:22 |
| nikitis | rww: that was my issue | 19:22 |

| jimmy51_ | i just mounted a share on my windows server with "mount -t smbfs //ip//share /mnt/share -o username=user,password=pword,dmask=0777,fmask=0777" | 20:44 |
| jimmy51_ | i can view and read files just fine, i just can't write anything | 20:44 |
| jimmy51_ | the user/pass combo i used can write if i am connecting from a windows pc | 20:44 |
| jimmy51_ | is my problem related to the dmask and fmask? | 20:44 |
| e_t_ | I've never used dmask and fmask before. I usually connect with mount -t cifs and have never had a problem. | 20:45 |
| gribouille | hi | 20:50 |
| SaraNova | hi | 20:50 |
| gribouille | is kde 4.6.3 available for maverick ? | 20:50 |
| jimmy51_ | e_t_: i'll try that | 20:55 |
| e_t_ | jimmy52, you can save a couple of keystrokes using "mount.cifs" | 20:56 |
| e_t_ | jimmy51, you can save a couple of keystrokes using "mount.cifs" | 20:57 |
| jimmy51_ | e_t_: still isn't writable. what's this mount.cifs? | 20:58 |
| e_t_ | It's a shortcut for mount -t cifs | 20:58 |
| gribouille | is kde 4.6.3 available for maverick ? | 20:59 |
| e_t_ | jimmy51_, do you get any sort of error message? Have you tried writing as root? | 21:00 |
| jimmy51_ | e_t_: even root gets permission denied. | 21:01 |
| jimmy51_ | any attempts to write get "bash: output.txt: Permission denied" | 21:01 |
| e_t_ | jimmy51_, try ls -l on the directory. Also, see if you get the same error with "touch file" | 21:03 |
| jimmy51_ | e_t_: touch: cannot touch 'output.txt' : permission denied | 21:03 |
| jimmy51_ | ls -l shows -rwxr-xr-x 0 root root | 21:04 |
| jimmy51_ | e_t_: i'm using the windows domain admin credentials to mount the share. | 21:05 |
| jimmy51_ | sure should be able to write | 21:05 |
| e_t_ | Is the Windows file system writable? | 21:06 |
| jimmy51_ | e_t_: yes. if i mount the share as a mapped drive in windows XP i can write all day | 21:07 |
| jimmy51_ | e_t_: i just changed dmask and fmask to dir_mode and file_mode and it worked | 21:09 |
| jimmy51_ | dir_mode=077,file_mode=077 | 21:09 |
| bigbrovar | is anyone running Kontact 2, the final release on Kubuntu 11.04? | 21:16 |
| e_t_ | bigbrovar: I wanted to, but so far as I can tell, it's not in the kubuntu PPA. Kmail still shows as version 1.13 on my machine. | 21:22 |
| === anuvrat_ is now known as anuvrat | ||
| bigbrovar | e_t_: probably it is packaged in another ppa, maybe the kubuntu beta ppa | 21:24 |
| e_t_ | Even though KDE announced it as part of 4.6.4. | 21:24 |
| bigbrovar | kontact2 is pretty much still considered as bleeding edge so I can understand why its not packaged to regular stable repos. but I think it could be packages to a separate repo meant for bleedy edge software | 21:26 |
| yofel | bigbrovar, e_t_: afaik we don't have kdepim 4.6.0 anywhere yet, only the RC. We're working on it | 21:56 |
| puneet | can anyone tell me what is apr-devel? | 21:58 |
| e_t_ | yofel, That's good to hear. It might be nice if the website announcement reflected that. | 21:59 |
| e_t_ | puneet: that package name sounds like a Red Hat version. | 22:09 |
| puneet | i think so too.....as i googled it | 22:10 |
| puneet | but dont know for sure | 22:10 |

| puneet | szal: where in the requirements it is written | 22:20 |
| e_t_ | puneet, was the version in the repos not satisfactory? | 22:22 |
| puneet | i am not using kubuntu | 22:22 |
| puneet | but ubuntu | 22:22 |
| e_t_ | It's all the same repo. | 22:22 |
| puneet | u meant the software centre? | 22:23 |
| e_t_ | Just use the command line: sudo apt-get install kdesvn | 22:23 |
| puneet | but it says that u need some requirements first | 22:23 |
| puneet | oh thanks | 22:24 |
| e_t_ | The nice thing about package managers like apt-get is that it figures out all the requirements for you and installs them too. Just give the command a try. | 22:24 |
| puneet | its working now | 22:24 |
| puneet | yes | 22:24 |
