[00:00] Hello again. [00:04] Is there a way to install flash WITHOUT the KPackageKit? [00:10] jonathon_: Yes, there is [00:10] jonathon_: I don't remember exactly now, but take a look at adobe's site [00:11] Alright [00:11] jonathon_: There's a gazipped file that contains the .so file needed to make Flash work [00:11] Yea, I got tha already, Just not sure where to put it [00:12] I tried putting it in Firefox's Plguins folder to no avail [00:12] jonathon_: hold on [00:12] k [00:12] jonathon_: can you confirm the file name? lib...???.so ? [00:12] libflashplayer.so [00:12] thank you, hold on [00:13] jonathon_: I've putted it in two places, not sure which is the correct one, but here it is: [00:14] jonathon_: first try - ~/.mozilla/firefox/your_profile_folder/plugins/libflashplayer.so [00:14] jonathon_: you need, of course, to close and re-open firefox to check if it worked [00:16] My user profile folder would be 2xkyfghs.default? [00:16] yep [00:16] there's no plugins folder there =( [00:16] make one =) [00:17] mkdir plugins [00:17] jonathon_: if that doesn't work, try /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [00:18] Have it in botht hose places, Not working [00:19] jonathon_: that's weird, worked for me... have you created the plugins folder? [00:19] yes [00:19] ok, try setting the folder permissions, it's the only thing I can think [00:20] jonathon_: chmod -R 755 ~/.mozilla/firefox/your_profile_folder/plugins [00:23] jonathon_: Hope it helps, man. I gotta go [00:24] thanks, laters [00:27] i just installed handbrake-gtk and loaded a dvd in my drive. if i click source and choose my VIDEO_TS folder it takes about 5 minutes and says there is a 14 minute video with no titles or chapters. i know there are two very long videos on the disk. what's up with that? [00:41] hey people, i need a recomendation... shoul i install the x64 version if i have an Acer Travelmate 5520G?? [00:45] hey people, i need a recomendation... shoul i install the x64 version if i have an Acer Travelmate 5520G?? [02:19] wildgoose: Hello, wildgoose [02:20] LINKSWORD2, !!! [02:20] Yes? [02:21] no [02:21] * LINKSWORD2 slaps wildgoose with a fish. [02:24] xD [02:26] wildgoose: Permission to /query? [02:28] LINKSWORD2, Sure. [02:52] What is the default mail client in kubuntu? [02:53] KMail [02:53] yeah, found it :) thank you. [02:54] xD [03:17] how do i remove gnome [03:34] i have a prob [03:34] lol [03:34] TheBuntu: search for gnome in the package tool, mark the gnome packages and remove them? [03:36] What kind of problem, briandw1969? [03:36] trying to install chrome..... [03:36] gets to the installer and says 'can only run one software manager at a time... [03:36] ubuntu_user: there isent no command to do it [03:37] i dont think imrunning any others [03:37] Hang on, I need to look for something. [03:37] k [03:37] no package tool? [03:38] Got it. [03:39] briandw1969: Look in the System menu, and find System Monitor. [03:39] The System menu has a gear as its icon, and the System Monitor app has a graph on a black background as its icon. [03:40] dont see it???? [03:40] found it [03:40] !query [03:40] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:40] TheBuntu: I've gotten lazy with the graphical interfaces so I don't know how you would go about it on the command line .. but if gnome is your window manager you'll probably want to install and switch to another before you try to remove the gnome [03:41] OK, briandw1969: Do I have permission to use /query for a direct chat with you? [03:41] sure [03:41] im on kde [03:43] kpackage doesn't show anything for gnome whne you search it? [03:54] Anybody know if there's a way to identify what process KPackage Installer is trying to install? [03:57] when I try and run the GIMP, I get this: [03:57] (gimp:20176): GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0 [03:57] Segmentation fault [04:00] LINKSWORD2, Are you referring to updates or packages you are trying to install? === Tux is now known as Guest49811 [04:02] I'm helping someone else. lol [04:03] But let's say packages. [04:03] srsly, why isn't the GIMP working... T_T [04:06] Spaz_Dynamic: I'm sorry for the incovenience, but we're all volunteers here, and we can't answer every question immediately. [04:06] I will see if I can help you in a few moments. [04:07] LINKSWORD2: Yeah I know. I wasn't complaining about lack of help, I was complaining about lack of functionality of the GIMP lol [04:07] (the irony... it is palpable) [04:07] That's understandable. [04:10] define gimp 'not working' - does it run? [04:12] claydoh: no, it doesn't. [04:12] Spaz_Dynamic: if it won't open, it may be a gtk theme bug - you can go toi system settings -applicatio appearance -gtk+ themes, change the theme to raleigh or something [04:12] then run gimp, it should work [04:12] then you can go back and chenge the theme back [04:15] claydoh: interesting. that worked. I tried uninstalling, cleaning and installing gimp and deps again multiple times and that didn't work. What is this gtk+ appearance and theme stuff anyway? [04:15] it makes non-kde (gnome and gtk based apps ) look more integrated into kde [04:17] Ah, yeah, I noticed that the gimp's buttons and such looked like running a program designed for gnome under kde [04:38] everyone sleeping tonight? [04:55] * LINKSWORD2 slaps SIR_Taco with a Support Ticket. [04:56] too late... I've resorted to the forums haha [04:57] "What will we do with a drunken sailor?" [04:58] earli in the morning? haha [05:00] Anyone bored and not busy enough to help a nubcake? Having issues getting the firmware to install and work on this laptop. [05:02] I've never made a nubcake before... so sure [05:03] Kaelo: what are you trying to do? [05:05] Oh, dear... [05:08] seems moot I guess [05:08] Well I'm running kubuntu from a 4gb usb and I believe I'm having and issue with initramfs like some others have. [05:09] read around and tried installing bcmwl-kernel-source and it did fine up until it started dealing with that [05:09] So you had it running fine at some point? [05:10] can i ask someone with insinght about VNC? what should i use as a server? does it matter? i need be secure, of course. [05:11] Heyy.. Whatssuppp Everybodehhhh??? [05:11] (kubuntu as a server) [05:11] * LINKSWORD2 dies [05:11] Nah just installed and it hasn't worked [05:12] pointing me to an not-outdated article works, too [05:12] Kaelo: even though my motherboard 'boots off usb' I have yet to see it do it successfully [05:14] Ahh well I figured out how to get it to persitantly run fine, it's just the firmware for the wireless card I can't get to work. Can I post the last bit of what it returned installing the thing? [05:16] Kaelo: ah ok... what wireless card? [05:18] I need to close Quassel for an update. [05:19] bcm4311 [05:19] broadcom card? [05:19] 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01) [05:19] ok [05:20] Kaelo: you've followed this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:21] Yup [05:22] did the sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source and I got an error from it [05:22] what error? [05:22] you can use paste.kde.org if it's long [05:23] k hold on :) [05:25] haha I'm watching a Mythbusters episode which is related to a presentation I just did [05:25] http://paste.kde.org/82603/ [05:27] Kaelo: what version of Kubuntu/Ubuntu? [05:27] There a version cmd I can use? [05:28] And my roomies are needing me to reboot the modem, so I'll be right back I suppose.... [05:28] lsb_release -a [05:28] 11/04 [05:29] ok [05:29] 11.04 rather anyways brb === rww_ is now known as rww [05:54] I'm back! [05:58] Still here Sir Taco? === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [06:23] so, i need a 32 bit version of python to run a script, but being that I'm running 64bit kubuntu, I can't find the 32bit .deb in the repos via the swc. (I also need a 32bit version of Blender to go with the script) [06:28] I just got done trying the new natty 11.04 (64bit) live dvd. I was able to connet to the net, but was unable to connect to irc using any icr client. The problem seemed to lie with SASL, so I installed the saslauthd package. Process management showed it working, but none of the irc clients (xchat/kvirc4) seemed to hook on it, and freenode kicked me off. [06:30] From what I've been told by some people, 64-bit Linux distros are still a little bit unstable, and 32-bit distros can do the same job without the instability. [06:30] Granted, it has been a while since I was told that. [06:31] I've been using 64-bit distros for years, and have never had stability issues. Your mileage may vary. [06:31] LINKSWORD2: I've been using 64bit 10.04 LTS for a long time now, I see no issues with it. My problem lies with the SASL authentication daemon (saslauthd) not being 'seen' by irc clients like xchat or kvirc. [06:31] rww: thank you [06:31] rww: any idea why when using a live cd that an irc client wouldn't hook/bind with the SASL authentication daemon? [06:31] Firefishe: Quassel has SASL authentication built in. It might work better, perhaps? [06:31] I've only ever done SASL on Quassel and irssi, and neither used a separate daemon, so... [06:32] rww: true, I didn't try it, so I don't know. I use kvirc almost exclusively for irc. [06:32] I mean, I compile from source/svn ;) [06:32] Well, I'm not going to mess with that... [06:32] anyone know anybody who might have experience in this area? [06:33] LINKSWORD2: from what I've seen, 64bit is no more unstable than 32bit has been. Only problem is that this particular script fail when using 64bit blender and/or 64 bit python [06:34] It's also nice to be able to use all of one's memory ;) [06:34] Firefishe: I think you can do that with 32bit [06:34] Yes, you can. [06:34] the kernel was compiled to allow like 32 or 64 gigs of ram [06:34] even on the 32 bit OS [06:34] well, I'm a 64bit user, and I do not see why I should go back now. I mean, it's not a production system, just my laptop. [06:35] and modern cpu's are 64bit... [06:35] of course, the 64 bit can use as much as any modern 64 bit system xD [06:35] Firefishe: according to http://freenode.net/sasl/README.txt , KVIrc 4+ support SASL natively. Is there a configuration setting in the client you're missing? [06:36] * rww hasn't used KVIrc, doesn't know [06:36] hi [06:36] rww: no, I checked the config, and it's checked. [06:36] is there a way to run 64b firefox w/ Java??? [06:36] tried some googling. didn't find anything usefull [06:37] rww: Now, to be fair, the snapshot in Natty's repository was only 5507...It's well beyond that now, so perhaps something was broken...still, I doubt. it. [06:37] Spaz? [06:37] ff4+j1.6 [06:37] Link? [06:39] in rekonq when i go to http://opsys.ir/forum.php display a message to save xstat.aspx and page is ugly in rekonq but arora (another webkit browser display page normal.) [06:40] I've downloaded a game, and apparently it needs to be "compiled." I've never had to compile a program before, and I need a little help... [06:40] LINKSWORD2: what kind of a file? [06:40] tar.gz ? [06:40] Yes. [06:41] LINKSWORD2: The general rule is: tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz [06:41] cd directoryname [06:41] rekonq have same problem in another aspx pages [06:41] LINKSWORD2... are you suggesting I just compile pyton and blender myself? [06:41] Yes, it is a tar.gz [06:41] LINKSWORD2: then read the INSTALL file [06:41] or do you legitimately need help compiling? [06:42] LINKSWORD2: If you haven't already, I'd do this command in a terminal: sudo apt-get install build-essential [06:42] that will get at least the bare minimum of what you need to compile from sourc.e [06:42] source. [06:42] build-essential ??? [06:43] but generally there is a readme with instructions, if not, it is likely "./configure" then "make" then "make install" which is likely an optional step [06:43] LINKSWORD2: it's a meta package that will install what the bare minimum requirements are for compiling... [06:43] and besides, I think as for building python, if I build it on a 64 bit ssystem, would I be building a 64 bit version, or a 32bit? [06:44] rww: would using a mobile broadband (either access point or phone) be part of the issue, possibly? [06:46] Firefishe: that's probably why you're being required to use SASL. I don't think it would affect your ability to use SASL, though. [06:46] I'd try it with Quassel as a test to see if it's a configuration issue or not. [06:47] rww: that's a good idea [06:47] although with kvirc having it's own built-in sasl, I dunno...oh well, gotta try....bbl [06:47] and, as always, thanks for the insight [06:48] rww: I'm going back to school in August for networking...I'm sure I'll get lots of experience. :) [06:48] which mobile provider, out of interest? [06:48] oops, they /quit [06:58] rww: Well, quassel works. I don't know why the others don't. [06:59] rww: I've never used it. Nice, simple, clean interface. Not bad :) [07:00] Firefishe: just curious, since I like to keep tabs on who freenode's restricting to SASL: which mobile provider? [07:00] Midnight here.... [07:01] rww: at&t [07:01] rww: I also use verizon [07:02] rww: and on the hard drive side of things, I use 10.04 LTS 64 bit. I have no problems with SASL there. It may just be related to how file permissions are handled on the live dvd. [07:03] rww: now, on 10.04, I'm using nm-applet, however, and not kde's network manger. Still, SASL is run as a daemon, and since I installed it, authentication works on kvirc(4.1.1). I'm sure it's something simple. I'm researching the possible cause. [07:06] LINKSWORD2: Were you able to get help with understanding compiling? [07:07] No. [07:07] I'm way burned out tonight. [07:07] LINKSWORD2: Do you want me to help you? [07:07] LINKSWORD2: okay [07:07] Well, let's see if it works... [07:09] LINKSWORD2: in a nutshell, from within the extracted directory (preferably in your /home/username directory somewhere): ./configure -- make -- sudo make install [07:11] Firefishe: Can I send you the site link to the file I'm trying to install? [07:11] Bonus: It's a free game. [07:11] LINKSWORD2: If it's one line, go ahead and paste it here, but if the url is long, I'd use pastebin.ubuntu.com [07:12] http://www.wz2100.net [07:15] LINKSWORD2: Looks intersting, but I can't download a 57mb file on this connection. Too large. Can you find the INSTALL file, copy the entire text of that, and paste it pastbin.ubuntu.com for me? [07:16] that should be: pastebin.ubuntu.com (can't type tonight) [07:16] I'm not sure, but I can look around. [07:16] LINKSWORD2: it'll be in the top-level directory if it's anywhere [07:17] LINKSWORD2: I mean, it should be [07:18] LINKSWORD2: also, as it's a game, it may be built differently than the usual methods. I build kvirc (and irc client) from svn checkout, and it uses cmake, as an example. It's similar to a normal build process, but it requires a few more packages to work. [07:18] and-an [07:18] an=an [07:18] sheesh...never mind [07:18] Folders: Build_tools, data, doc, icons, lib, m4, macosx, pkg, po, src, win32. [07:19] no text files? [07:19] go to a terminal, cd into the directory, and type: ls [07:20] list the top-level directory in the terminal window...there should be someting that says INSTALL (if it's there) [07:20] all caps [07:20] Ok, I don't know Linux well enough. [07:20] What do I need to type to get there? [07:21] LINKSWORD2: Are you in kde? [07:21] The Konsole terminal is open. [07:21] you should be in your /home/username directory (where username is your user name) [07:22] do you know where the tar.gz file was downloaded to? [07:22] I saved it to the download folder in my personal directory. [07:22] did you extract it yet? [07:23] Yes. Into a subfolder in the download folder. [07:23] Or is that a bad idea? [07:23] no, that'll keep it out of the way [07:24] I usually use a directory called Downloads [07:24] I extract all compiling data there [07:24] just cd to where the extracted directory is [07:24] Ok. [07:24] for example: $ cd Downloads/wargames/directoryinquestion [07:26] Konsole: $ command not found [07:26] press the UP ARROW once, and look at the command you just did [07:26] check for errors [07:27] lol [07:27] You spaced between $ cd [07:27] $ and cd [07:27] $ is just a reference for the command prompt [07:27] it may look different on your system [07:27] So I don't need that, then... [07:28] I'll just type in the command syntax and forget the other stuff [07:28] ahh LINKSWORD2, always good for a laugh [07:28] cd Downloads/wargames/directoryinquestion [07:28] or whatever you named it, of course :) [07:29] Here's what I have.... cd/Downloads/warzone2100-2.3.8 [07:29] okay [07:29] type: clear [07:30] then list the directory contents with: ls [07:30] CLEAR! [07:30] lol [07:30] OK [07:30] lower case you nit ;) [07:30] is there a file with the name of: INSTALL (all upper case) [07:31] ? [07:31] No. [07:31] okay, then we have to do some digging. [07:31] I have an autogen-sh listed, but it is not in caps. [07:31] autogen.....ah [07:31] hang on. [07:32] try: ./configure [07:32] I have autogen.sh as well as install-sh [07:32] tell me if it does anything [07:32] !pastebin [07:32] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:32] LINKSWORD2: what was that for? [07:33] I'm about to copy the results of the ./configure [07:33] okay...so ./configure did do something? [07:33] Yeah, it generated a LOT of text. [07:33] yes, it does [07:33] You know it's in the repo? And you can get that version from getdeb... (But it's good to learn this) [07:34] Unit193: That's always good if there's a package :) [07:34] Firefishe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/627117/ [07:34] LINKSWORD2: How long have you been using kubuntu. Also, if I might inquire, what version are you using? [07:35] LINKSWORD2: you need, first of all, to install bison. You may do this quickly by typing this: sudo apt-get install bison [07:36] I've been using Kubuntu for a couple months. [07:36] LINKSWORD2: one other thing, too, sometimes you may get the libraries for something, but you need the -dev file for building. So, something like bison-dev is often how that is listed. [07:36] By the way, I'm using 11.04 / Natty. [07:37] LINKSWORD2: Here's a trick that will save you a hell of a lot of time when using apt-get on the command line: Let's say you want bison. type: sudo apt-get install bison (however, don't hit ENTER first. Instead, hit TAB once or twice (usually takes two for me); what you will have is a list of what apt has listed that is available for download.) [07:38] Oh? [07:38] yes....shortcuts like this will save you hours of wondering what's in the repository list [07:38] .... WHOA! What the monkey?! [07:38] anything with the word bison in it should be listed. [07:39] bison++ bisonc++ bisonc++-doc bison-doc [07:39] and, if there is something called, for example, bison-dev, make sure you also include it. (I'm in natty live dvd right now, so I won't have it available for me [07:39] try the command with just the word 'bison' (minus quotes) [07:39] ie, sudo apt-get install bison [07:40] OK, doing that. [07:40] Installed. [07:40] okay, go back to the build directory [07:40] ok [07:40] and do ./configure again [07:41] watch the output, and if there is an error, do the pastebin thing again [07:42] did you install build-essential? [07:42] guess so if it's doing the configure okay [07:44] configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it [07:44] is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full [07:44] path to pkg-config. [07:44] * LINKSWORD2 shoots self [07:45] LINKSWORD2: no, don't do that, wait until the game ;) hee [07:45] LMAO! [07:45] try this: sudo apt-get install pkg-config [07:45] All righ5t. [07:45] this is how you compile software from source, the easy way ;) hee [07:46] your mileage may vary [07:46] Display all 33549 possibilities? (y or n) [07:46] ..... :o [07:46] You call this the easy way? [07:47] LINKSWORD2: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" without quotes [07:47] DarkwingDuck: You there, mate? [07:47] to get basic tools for compiling installed [07:47] Tm_T: Already did that. [07:47] ah, didn't notice (: [07:48] LINKSWORD2: hold on [07:49] LINKSWORD2: It should be: sudo apt-get install pkg-config [07:49] just that [07:50] LINKSWORD2: I'm testing natty... not too bad. I like it so far. [07:54] Damn it. [07:54] LINKSWORD2: now what [07:54] Now it's looking for something called SDL. [07:54] 'nother error? [07:54] Yeah. [07:54] LINKSWORD2: please paste the output, as always ;) [07:54] LINKSWORD2: also, if you want to clear your entire buffer in Konsole, you can do this: CTRL-SHIFT-X [07:54] OK [07:55] does one more step then clear does [07:55] clear just clears the window and puts the prompt at the top. The above command clears the entire buffer [07:55] useful when doing lots of output [07:55] !pastebin [07:55] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [10:12] hmmh [10:13] lokifacio: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository [10:13] I'm having problems with a custom stylesheet. [10:13] thanks [10:15] indeed I've already created one, but my question was where to locate packages for different distributions (i.e. gutsy, natty...) [10:15] I think I fixed it... [10:15] I haven't check that debian howto, so I will check that [10:17] There we go. [10:42] *Sigh.* [10:42] I can't stay awake. [11:39] is there anything similar to Adobe illustrator for kde/linux? [12:08] I'm having serous rendering issues with Firefox4 in Kubuntu, even on a clean installation. [12:08] Many Wikipedia entries are displayed incorrectly (huge empty space and a mile-long scrollbar). [12:08] View page source doesn't show DOCTYPE or HTML comments unless Syntax highlighting is turned off. [12:09] Is this hardware related or is anyone else having the same thing? [12:11] The only thing I did after I installed Kubuntu was apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get install firefox [12:11] However the firefox on the live-cd did not seem to have these problems [12:21] hello [12:21] does KDE PIM 4.6.0 packaging is planned ? [12:34] hey [12:35] i hace a 1.5TB hd with ntfs.. if i connect it to my maschine, latest kubuntu, i only see a 500gb hd.. and not the correct partitions.. any hint how to get the whle 1.5tb? [12:47] noaXess: strange i can see my 640gb partition without problems [12:47] which is ntfs [12:48] PasNox: hm... don't know why.. [12:48] wait.. [12:48] i try find out something with testdisk.. analysing ;).. [12:52] :) [12:56] Hiyas [13:23] hi folks. I am using kubuntu. But I really really like to get rid of those useless screens on startup. I want to see what is actually going on..console etc. Both on startup + shutdown...regardless if fschk is running or just regular startup. Is there easy way to fix that === bruno is now known as Guest27900 === Guest27900 is now known as brunog [13:54] jmut>escape during boot didnt work? [13:55] Magnusson: hm. I think I tried this once but I guess I will give another shot at it [13:55] Magnusson: is there more permenant way? [13:56] lol not that i'm immediately aware of. ironically i've spent the last month TRYING to get those screens to show [13:57] want to see grub? Shift will show it [13:58] will experiement a bit. thanks [14:01] IIRC there is a HIDDEN parameter you can turn on|off in grub [14:01] Magnusson: you want to see boot progress? remove "splash" from kernel cmdline or change it to "nosplash" [14:02] BATi>nah, my problem is that i constantly have "input signal out of range" during boot =\ [14:02] been trying to get rid of that forever [14:03] KDE PIM 4.6.0 being packaged ?? === psycho_ is now known as Guest30923 [14:05] Magnusson: hmm, did you tried to fiddle with "GRUB_GFXMODE", "GRUB_TERMINAL" and "GRUB_CMDLINE_*" in /etc/default/grub? some vga param to kernel should fix that... [14:06] BATi>yeah i've messed around with that a ton, not sure if it was done correctly but yep done those [14:06] lemme see what they say atm [14:07] Magnusson: hmm... nosplash and disabling vga console in kernel params should do the trick... and not forgetting to run update-grub :) [14:10] BATi>http://pastebin.com/seMfNMNp [14:10] is my current [14:12] Magnusson: hmm, try GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nosplash vga=normal nomodeset" [14:12] anyone know the shortcut for the compose key? [14:13] Magnusson: if that helps, you can try to reenable "splash" for you to see plymouth splash during boot [14:13] hrm hope so, i'd like to get both burg and plymouth working [14:14] if we're talking getting the splash to work properly, all I had to do was set the resolution in my /etc/default/grub [14:14] to my screens resolution [14:15] aperson>that's what i did :( [14:15] assuming you ran update-grub as well? [14:15] GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024 < was mine [14:17] yep, ran update-grub(burg) [14:20] Anyone able to help? Can't get my wireless working, and yes I've tried following the help page for it. [14:21] Make work :| [14:22] Magnusson: I think that real problem lies somewhere in "video" parameter settings, but I am no framebuffer guru, I've always escaped with setting something like "vga=0x314" at most :) [14:23] BATi>heh yeah it can be a real pain in the arse. the things i do for stuff that looks pretty. ironically it worked just fine at one point [14:24] 10.x how do I change the default sound output device if I have more than one? The old "asoundconf" trick no longer works [14:25] 10.04LTS to be exact [14:25] Magnusson: well, so just try to remember what happened when it stopped working :) /me ducks and runs :) [14:26] BATi>lol it stopped a month or so ago, Lord only knows [14:27] BATi>well, actually it was when i was trying an updater for burg. however i've since formatted and reinstalled my linux partition so that should've nuked any settings =\ [14:27] Magnusson: worst case scenario 'cause He does not talk :))) [14:27] lol too true, took me a sec to get what you meant [14:28] Magnusson: hmm... that's why I stick to GRUB until all BURG packaging/config problems are solved... [14:28] yeah suppose that would've been best :( bu like i said, shiny things make me do crazy stuff [14:30] Magnusson: I know what you are talking about... nuked my systems too many times by going "oooh, shiny, lemme touch it... oops, where did I put those backups?" [14:31] BATi>haha [14:32] BATi>though, it would seem to me that it should be system independent. i mean i think the "input signal out of range" occurs before any sort of system files are touched since it's during boot no? [14:35] Magnusson: hmm, apparently, the initrd kernel is loaded and video mode switched to something your monitor does not like, bootloader switches only it's own resolution (thats what GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_TERMINAL is used for) [14:35] Any help? 10.04 how do I change the default sound output device if I have more than one? The old "asoundconf" trick no longer works [14:36] OpenSorce: Install padevchooser and use it. [14:37] It is installed, it doesn't run... does it need root? [14:37] BATi>hm you might be onto something new for me there with the initrd, where could i check that [14:38] OpenSorce: It's probably running. Have a look at your SysTray for the icon, on my system it's an icon of a blank page. [14:39] Ah... there it is! And instead of letting me select from a list it wants me to type in the device name. How archaic. [14:39] I thought Kubuntu would be easier for my kids.... maybe teaching them the Gnome desktop would be better [14:40] Magnusson: well, initrd only contains boot kernel, set of modules needed to boot (hdd controller drivers most notably) and simple script which changes root to your root partition and runs init.... but it can contain vga modules aswell... [14:40] BATi>grrr. as usual nvidia is the death of me [14:41] In any case DarthFrog, thanks for your help :-) [14:41] OpenSorce: Hmm, never saw that on my system. I wonder if you need paprefs and pavucontrol installed also. [14:41] I could try that... [14:41] I have pavucontrol.... [14:41] BATi>cause i'm pretty sure i set everything i could to 1680x1050 (my monitor's native res) ...unless somehow it's a frequency problem, which i have no idea how to set [14:42] I have them both actually [14:44] When I click padevchooser and then default sink it says default and then other when I choose other it asks me to type it in [14:45] Of course I could write the kids a script to switch it I suppose... assuming Pulse will accept CLI commands [14:45] Magnusson: well, better strugling with nvidia than i915 in my notebook :) and for frequency... maybe initrd kernel translates resolution with bad timing, you can always try with 640x480,800x600 or something like that, and if that works, then it's either fbcons fault or missing f.ex. nvidia module... [14:46] BATi>i might be willing to trade with ya lol. nvidia's drivers made my transisters literally explode so i have to run an overclock utility to underclock my card so it won't overheat and crash [14:47] OpenSorce: All I can say is that I've not seen that behaviour. My devices were detected and I could select between them. [14:48] Hmmm... odd indeed. Good to know it's not designed that way. It shows the different devices other places.... [14:49] For instance the PulseAudio Manager shows both devices.... [14:50] Magnusson: oops that's definitely not friendly... but I've heard that nvidia cards have less problems than ati cards under linux... [14:50] BATi>yeah so have i sadly. everything i read says nvidia's the way to go [14:54] Magnusson: well, but for what I understand, there is a bit mess in nvidia drivers land - open source drivers, nvidia's drivers, some versions work with this some with that... at least that scrap of silicon called by intel a graphics card have consistent driver policy - almost nothing works :) [14:54] lol, consistency is best [14:59] Magnusson: anyway - my advice to your problem is like this - try standard VGA resolution of 640x480, if it does work, it will give you at least starting point to start messing with framebuffer... [15:00] BATi>yeah i'll start there and work my way up. not a bad idea. hmm though will that only affect grub/burg or will i need to change plymouth's settings somewhere else as well? [15:02] Magnusson: hmm, should be enough... plymouth should select the right splash image size depending on framebuffer resolution... [15:02] BATi>killer, ty much :D [15:03] Magnusson: np :) but keep in mind that I said "should" not "will" :) better lemme check... [15:03] lol [15:04] BATi>such is the life of hacking configuration files [15:05] when making a custom livecd, how can you set up a script to run on boot interactively? (as in... not an init daemon) [15:07] Magnusson: life would be boring without it :))) BTW: based on what is in /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo it seems that plymouth scales the image depending on resolution... [15:08] BATi>good good, that should make things simpler :) [15:09] Magnusson: in fact there is a plymouth script which computes right positions for "progress" sprites... shiny 8) [15:10] BATi>lol shhhh you foul tempter! [15:10] Magnusson: :DD [15:44] Ok, so just post my issue/question, right? [15:44] I always feel like I'm getting it wrong [15:47] so.. by issue is one that has happened before. I try to boot, and it gets a short ways into the boot process then I get kicked to ash, with a message saying that bootreg was not found. If I remember right I need to load a boot-disk, and fsck my HDD with that desktop. problem is, I forget all the steps [15:49] I think I need to unmount srd0, or something like that? [15:49] or src0? [15:50] * Xel`lotath takes a number and sits in the waiting room, wonering how good the magazine selection is... [15:52] Hello. I'm trying to set up two profiles in konsole, one light on dark the other reversed. I'd like them to switch the COLORFGBG env variable so that when I start vim, the background color is correctly detected. But the environment doesn't change when switching between profiles. [15:53] So a.) Is the environment meant to change according to the environment in the profile or is that just used for initially setting up? and b.) Is there just a generally better way to do this? [15:53] if it were my luck, it would be both XD [15:54] It would also be super awesome if I could get the profile to automatically change when I ssh into certain boxes, but I suspect that's asking too much. [15:55] you wouldn't happen to know the steps to fsck-ing my HDD from a boot disk, would ya? [15:55] Xel`lotath: Like the kubuntu live disk? You should be able to boot with that and just run fsck. [15:56] don't I need to umount src0 or srd0 or something? [15:57] that [15:57] that's where I'm unsure [15:57] that and the fsck options I might need to refind bootreg. [15:59] Xel`lotath: I hate to be the guy who breaks your disks. I don't think that you have to be unmounted or mounted read only just to check the disk. [16:00] Good news!for who using NVIDIA Optimus: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee [16:00] ok.. and is it src0? [16:01] Xel`lotath: sudo fdisk -l to list devices and paritions [16:01] ah.. [16:01] phoenixlzx: I have a device with optimus. What is the good news that I'm looking at? [16:01] why is it always so easy, yet so impossible to remember? [16:02] Does bumblebee has automatic switching support now? [16:03] well.. I'll give it a shot, thanks for the advice! [16:04] Xel`lotath: Yeah. Commands in linux tend to optimized for efficiency and power-use rather than ease of remembering. I appreciate the choice in optimization, but it does make learning hard. [16:04] i find it makes it entertaining. === root is now known as Guest59043 === amichair_ is now known as amichair [16:15] does anyone know if desktop effects settings dialog is kde's or kubuntu's? [16:19] amichair: I think KDE's but I'm not sure. And images.google.com isn't providing me any clues. Sorry.

[17:04] Hmm, I forgot that key... [17:04] I know there's a way to do it, cause I did once :P [17:05] i'm trying to use global shortcuts, but they seem to be parsed by the game [17:05] i'm playing crawl, btw [17:05] Hmm [17:06] Dangit wish I could remember how I did that! [17:06] I'm not sure if it's a bug or me - can someone help me figure out how to filter out *.*~ (kate backup files) from desktop view in desktop settings? [17:10] hmmm... I think the file name pattern filter just doesn't do anything [17:13] amichair: you mean folder view desktop? [17:14] rigth click -> preferences -> filter -> hide blabla -> on pattern put *~ [17:14] the ui is a bit shitty [17:14] doesn't work as espected [17:15] expected === Guest23443 is now known as MichealH [17:26] gee, I love my dog... I really do... when he is not near my network connection... [17:26] petete: how does it work? anything I write in the file name pattern doesn't seem to do anything [17:27] I can't get it to exclude anything, not even an exact filename match [17:27] it works here [17:28] after accepting the config [17:29] I select 'hide files matching', write domains.txt in the pattern, deselect all other stuff, and apply - and the file 'domains.txt' still appears on the desktop [17:30] (*.txt or *.* or * don't do anything either) [17:30] don't deselect all that stuff [17:30] i think the hiding only works on the mimetypes you select [17:31] petete: ? [17:31] petete: how does that work? [17:31] put in the patterns you want to hide and select all [17:31] petete: if I select e.g. 'all files', still nothing happens [17:32] petete: ah, now I'm getting somewhere. I don't understand it, but it's doing something :-) [17:32] good :) [17:33] maybe my intuition is bad, but I understood that you can either type your own patterns, or check them off a fixed preset list [17:33] i though so too [17:34] now it seems that neither the pattern nor the list do this, [17:34] but only their cross section is selected [17:34] very strange to me [17:35] is that a bug? maybe usability bug? or is it just me? [17:35] but i think the pattern only searches for the files based on the mimetypes selected below [17:35] petete: what's more confusing, is that the list doesn't mention or show mime types anywhere. it shows file mask patterns too. [17:37] for ex. "hide" - "*" - "ODT document" selected will hide all .odt files, but not all files [17:38] yes, looks like an usability bug [17:38] also you can't set several filters [17:39] well you can, but then it's unnecessarily complex [17:41] for ex. "show" - no pattern - all selected will not show any file [17:41] for ex. "show" - * - all selected will show the files === toscalix_ is now known as toscalix [17:54] petete: I added a comment to kde bug #266668, maybe it'll get fixed sometime [17:54] KDE bug 266668 in widget-folderview "Filter for hiding files doesn't work" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266668 [17:54] petete: but for now I have it doing what I want, so it's ok - thanks :-) [17:59] on to the next bug: resetting to defaults on some system settings doesn't really revert to the default (kubuntu) settings - e.g. some appearance settings, fonts, themes, etc. Is this a kde bug or a kubuntu bug? [18:00] I just realized it may be reverting to kde defaults rather than kubuntu defaults, which would make it a kubuntu bug. But then again, it might really be a kde bug where it just doesn't work.

[20:26] i'm just goign to edit it to launch what i want. i see a scripts/10adduser that creates the livecd user. it has a section that sed's the version number but otherwise doesn't touch the file. i'll leave that as-is as well.

[22:24] k, sec [22:25] xboxowns: right... so try "cd /home/fahedaldaye/Downloads/pcsx2-0.9.8-r4594-linux/" and then "./launch_pcsx2_linux.sh" [22:26] BATi: at the end of the output? [22:26] it says permission denied [22:26] there was a command like something i [22:26] or something like that then after that I can enter my password and have permission granted [22:27] was it sl? [22:27] sn? [22:28] http://www.pastie.org/private/x6kr4c5kbdi6sapubjfyvq the last 11 lines of dmesg, i assume that it's what is important since the wireless adapter is USB [22:31] I keep getting permission denied :( [22:31] BANi: i found a step by step thing, but would have to do it in 15 minutes, can you possibly help? i'll love you forever >.> [22:31] How do I access the password permission [22:31] to grand access? [22:31] uh, root? [22:31] yes [22:31] I am in root [22:31] now [22:31] is it sudo? [22:31] what do I do in sudo to allow me to enter password to grand access? [22:33] uberfrau: uh...

[22:47] uberfrau: well, you can try it, but you will maybe need few more packages, I cannot tell at this stage...
