| andarm16 | does anyone know if there is a setting that can be changed so that sound will keep playing even when you aren't in the same virtual console? IE: I have amarok playing in XWindows in console 7, but I move to console 1, and the music pauses. | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| lcb | andarm16: i think that's not normal. for a workaround solution while nobody tells any other click on the 2nd top left tiny icon of amarok window to in order to activate it for all desktops. | 00:50 |
| lcb | *window in order to activate it for all desktops. | 00:51 |
| andarm16 | lcb: I think that just handles KDE desktops. | 00:52 |
| lcb | andarm16: aren't you using kubuntu? | 00:52 |
| lcb | ohh ok... *"playing in XWindows in console 7," | 00:53 |
| andarm16 | lcb yes, but i mean that when I hit alt f1 for instance the music stops | 00:53 |
| lcb | andarm16: CTRL+F1.. | 00:53 |
| andarm16 | lcb yes | 00:54 |
| lcb | anyway, i believe that's not a normal behavior | 00:54 |
| andarm16 | lcb: yeah, it doesn't sound normal... | 00:54 |

| lcb | andarm16: me too | 00:55 |
| andarm16 | I am using WUBI, but I don't think that would make a difference | 00:56 |
| lcb | :/ don't know, buddy | 00:56 |
| andarm16 | thanks anyway | 00:56 |
| lcb | :) | 00:56 |
| lcb | andarm16: another workaround... run kubuntu and the win systems under virtualbox, for example :p | 00:57 |

| szal | from the comments it looks a bit like having to do w/ specific mouse models | 13:07 |

| bretzel | emmm, houston , we have a problem... system-settings useless on browsing/adding themes for workspace -appearence, splash them, login screen, windows decorations - thus seems not possible to add themes through the GUI - seems to work well ( gui, selection., downloads - but nothing really added to the respective list. ) | 14:18 |
| bretzel | I ahd to launch system-setting as root to be able to do have the login screen theme to be installed and selectable/usable - regarding login screen theme. | 14:19 |
| bretzel | *had* *had* | 14:19 |
| bretzel | ahd | 14:19 |
| bretzel | so 'splash theme', window-deco, plasma-theme - useless | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | bretzel, some of those themes are on websites so they don't install , but some will give the option to and others don't , kind of hit and miss | 14:22 |
| bretzel | BluesKaj: I understand that i may think I don't know how to use system-settings/get new themes... but my prob is not there, it is the fact that installing themes which get the file from normal url which auto-install without going to external url, are actually NOT properly installed or setup.. mean, they are not available and not seen even after a systemsettings restart | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, that's why I called it hit or miss , there's no logic as to whether some themes/colours/ windows decor, will show up , even after what appears to b e a successful install | 14:27 |
| bretzel | and by the way, how comes I had to manualy create ibus/bus into ~/.config/ ?? | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | bretzel, dunno that folder is empty in ~/ , here | 14:31 |
| bretzel | BluesKaj: okay, what I know is that it is used for (kde?) scripts ( python, jscript, perl ) but not %100 sure. | 14:31 |
| ct529 | I have installed the latest NVIDIA driver through launchpad, is there anything I should keep in mind or install? | 14:36 |
| ct529 | Installed through https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 14:37 |
| bretzel | ...anyway ... on an otherhand, Kubuntu 11.04 (thanks to ubuntu base?) seems the best iteration ever of the Kubuntu work since I know it . I am really enjoying KDE4 (4.6.4) | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | bretzel, yeah, even 11.10 is quite stable in it's present state | 14:39 |
| yofel | ct529: those packages are maintained by the x team and should usually work fine | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | ct529, and why did you chose that nvidia driver ? | 14:40 |

| ct529 | yofel: thanks | 14:41 |
| bretzel | BluesKaj: oh! I only have one computer, thus cannot 'play' with it you are lucky. | 14:41 |
| ct529 | BluesKaj: it is the only way to haev CUDA working | 14:41 |

| bretzel | lol | 14:42 |
| ct529 | yofel: which repos? the ubuntu-x-swat or the official one | 14:42 |
| yofel | I personally don't use cuda, but nvidia-current from the official archive usually works fine from what I know | 14:43 |

| ct529 | BluesKaj: sorry? | 14:46 |
| yofel | erm... read up on what CUDA is... | 14:47 |
| yofel | doesn't have anything to do with performance | 14:47 |

| ct529 | BluesKaj: we do some CUDA programming | 14:49 |
| ct529 | BluesKaj: that is the reson to need CUDA | 14:49 |
| yofel | well, as long as something uses it sure, but you need to have the app written for it | 14:49 |

| alivePerson1234_ | it should be there | 19:20 |
| ssbr | where exactly? nothing in /bin, /sbin, etc. | 19:20 |
| ssbr | (and it isn't anywhere on the path) | 19:21 |
| alivePerson1234_ | it should be something like grub-install | 19:21 |
| alivePerson1234_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Methods of Reinstalling | 19:22 |
| alivePerson1234_ | it says use boot-repair | 19:22 |
| ssbr | and where is that? | 19:24 |
| ssbr | they give instructions for finding it in gnome. There's no boot-repair executable on the path | 19:24 |
| ssbr | searching "boot" in the splotlight-clone-thing gives nothing either | 19:24 |
| alivePerson1234_ | just follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair and add the repositories and install them in the livecd environment | 19:25 |

| cato38 | i am currently using kubuntu 10.10, and blur especially, and all of the desktop effects work fine. i tried upgrading to 11.04 and the special effects (blur in particular) did not work right. Someone told me to wait until the major bugfixes came out, but he didnt say when. How do i find out when the bugfix for the blur problem has been released? | 20:18 |
| Linkmaster | cato38: either keep trying, or don't use it. I could use blur happily with 10.10, but now that I'm using 11.04 it doesn't work. I think its because as the operating system gets newer, older models are falling out of the 'usability' window. The OS can still be used on older systems, just not with all the effects of the newer systems | 20:20 |
| Tm_T | Linkmaster: cato38: have you tried with KDE sc 4.6.4? | 20:22 |
| Linkmaster | Tm_T: I'm currently using 4.6.4, though I haven't tried blur yet. Let me try it right now actually | 20:22 |
| Linkmaster | Tm_T: just tried, it rendered my system inoperable for periods of time, similar to when I first upgraded | 20:25 |
| Tm_T | hmmm, interesting | 20:26 |
| Tm_T | I think blur is the only effect that doesn't work for me either | 20:26 |
| Linkmaster | thats what I though, since I could use blur with 10.10 and KDE4.6.2 | 20:26 |
| cato38 | Tm_T: i did a fresh install of both 4.6 an 11.04. the blur problem seems to be an upstream issue with a command in a driver set, but i am not technical enough to understand the details, but it might be a kde specific problem. | 20:27 |
| cato38 | unfortunately that is a selling point for me. my laptop is less than two years old, and my friends laptop (a similar model toshiba) is less than 6 months old. we both like kubuntu, and are holding off upgrading until the upstream chipset driver problem is fixed--if i am remembering correctly that that is what he said the issue was. | 20:28 |
| === root is now known as Guest93733 | ||
| Tm_T | cato38: well, it's kwin specific problem in a sense that IIRC kwin uses some not widely used capabilities of opengl | 20:28 |
| Tm_T | or more like, it's driver issue that arises with kwin | 20:29 |
| cato38 | Linkmaster: we are holding on the 10.10 but really like some of the newer activity settings that 11.04 offers. | 20:29 |
| Tm_T | cato38: this is entirely my opinion, but, holding upgrade back simply because of blur effect wouldn't be my choice | 20:30 |
| Linkmaster | cato38: both are very good, though the activities are nice, though I don't really use them | 20:30 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| cato38 | Tm_T: being able to hold the title bar to see what is open on the desktop is an great time saver for me. | 20:35 |
| Tm_T | cato38: that doesn't work in 11.04? | 20:35 |
| cato38 | Tm_T: most of the desktop effects. i had to turn blur off, but most of the others even thought they were ticked, did not activate. the windows moved clunkily when being dragged, a separate issue was that the find option couldnt find anything. i had to open kfinder from the command line. | 20:38 |
| cato38 | Tm_T: but other than that, i liked 11.04 greatly. | 20:39 |
| Tm_T | cato38: hmmh, shame that happens | 20:40 |
| cato38 | Tm_T: i have gotten 5 of my friends using linux over the last 3 years. so far it has been far better with linux than the headaches we had with vista. | 20:44 |

| gremset | Hello, I am running kubuntu 11.04. Basically I switched from VGA cable to hdmi cable (Nvidia 9500 GT DVI to Samsung HDMI port). Now I see a few more resolutions to choose from in NVidia X server Settings. My monitor-graphics card supports 1920 x 1080 (tested on windows 7). But when I choose that resolution in X server settings, the screen size shrinks vertically to about 1/3, with all windows garbled around in that space, and the mouse and keyboard | 21:23 |
| gremset | becomes unresponsive. Any idea how to proceedfurther to get this resolved? | 21:23 |
| OerHeks | gremset, open the monitor menu ( not on your pc but on your monitor itself) and try reset/set to default | 21:26 |
| OerHeks | it helped me sometime | 21:26 |
| === Wojtulas_ is now known as Wojtulas | ||
| gremset | OerHeks: Yes, I used to set/reset on the Monitor when working with lower resolutions, but at this resolution 1920 x 1080, the OS gets stuck, I am unable to mouse or keyboard inputs to switch to antoher tty. | 21:28 |
| gremset | But it works fine in windows | 21:29 |
| gremset | The only hardware change is switching from vga cable to hdmi cable (using dvi port on graphics card)./ | 21:29 |
| gremset | Perhaps I should upload a snap of it. I might go offline now as the pc halts one more time as I take the snap. Will b e back in a few mins. | 21:31 |
