[00:00] chemicalvamp: your taskbar doesn't stay the same when you reboot? Is your computer shutting down properly? [00:00] SIR_Taco, its connecting, auth and than i have notification than connection is lost [00:01] soee: have you tried Kopete? not sure about the status of kmess [00:01] Kmess was great a decade ago :) [00:02] SIR_Taco, yes standard reboot command [00:02] well looks like 3.0 will be nice [00:02] soee: I haven't tried it in years. I do know that Kopete works with MSN [00:03] how do you manually save a session? [00:03] chemicalvamp: that's very odd... does it do it if you log-out (not reboot) and re-login? [00:04] yes [00:04] chemicalvamp: everything resets even with loging out and not restarting? [00:05] i dont ever log out :) just reboot [00:05] i can check, whats the command for logout? lol its not in my menu [00:06] chemicalvamp: under "System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Session Management" what's checked for "On Login"? [00:06] restore previous session [00:07] but i was thinking restore manually saved session might do it if i can save this session [00:07] chemicalvamp: well yea, that should work... haven't tried it myself though [00:07] do you know how to manually save? [00:09] no, I haven't had the need to [00:11] hum, well i found a thread with a similar problem, there solution was to click leave>restart [00:11] kinda sucks, i like using reboot and halt commands [00:12] chemicalvamp: halt and reboot (via console) interrupts the KDE process.... if you do it through KDE, then it will do it's thing and save the session === bonnecaze is now known as bonnecaze__ [00:13] sweet :) [00:13] nothings broken im just dumb lol thanks [00:14] haha, you're not dumb [00:15] ok... whatever then [00:15] next? === andy_ is now known as Guest54021 [00:49] Greetings, all. [00:51] hey LINKSWORD2 [00:52] SIR_Taco: Do you use Firefox on Kubuntu? [00:53] I do, yes [00:53] LINKSWORD2, Do you? [00:53] I do, but I'm having a couple problems with Firefox. [00:53] LINKSWORD2, I thought that might be where we were going with that. [00:54] anyway.... problem? hah [00:54] lol [00:56] Flash-Aid takes care of most of my recent probs. with FF [00:56] but I can't right-click links still [00:56] Well, here's the issue.... [00:56] which might drive me back to Konq or Rekonq [00:56] or even to Chromium [00:57] A site that I visit requires an Apple Quicktime plugin. [00:57] And of course, Quicktime is not available outside of Windows / Mac. [00:58] mplayer plugin used to do Quicktime... haven't run into it lately though [00:58] Well, I can't find mplayer... [00:58] And I need something that works. [00:59] valorie: there's many to-do's for flash and linux that I hope to fix at some time.... [01:03] LINKSWORD2: do you have libquicktime installed? [01:03] Huh? [01:03] "sudo apt-get install libquicktime" [01:04] E: Unable to loacate libquicktime [01:06] er, sorr... libquicktime2 [01:06] sorry [01:07] E: Unable to locate libquicktime2 [01:07] how about libquicktime1 ? [01:08] lol [01:08] libquicktime is already the newest version [01:08] lol [01:09] And yet, it doesn't seem to work.... [01:12] LINKSWORD2, for mplayer "sudo apt-get install mplayer" [01:13] mplayers is already the newest version [01:13] mplayer (typo) [01:13] I'll try the site again, but it didn't work earlier. [01:14] Same results. Missing plugin required for Apple Quicktime media. [01:15] you could try "sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc" [01:15] seems to have replaced the Mplayer plugin [01:15] !quicktime [01:15] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:17] lol [01:17] I typed input on Quassel and it kicked me out. :o [01:18] very nice haha [01:20] Epic fail. [01:20] Still not playing the Quicktime media. [01:22] LINKSWORD2: what about installing mozilla-plugin-vlc ? [01:23] That's what I just did, man. lol [01:23] haha [01:24] LINKSWORD2, Did you restart your browser after installing? [01:25] Yes. [01:25] Restarting it again. [01:26] ... Ok, that's really weird. [01:26] Visiting the site crashes Firefox. [01:29] very odd [01:37] Any more ideas, wildgoose? [01:42] LINKSWORD2, "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" [01:44] I think I need to learn a LOT more about Linux.... [01:44] Specifically, about Kubuntu/Ubuntu. [01:47] Firefox crashed again. [01:50] No more ideas? [01:55] Hmm.... [01:56] start firefox from a terminal to capture any errors [01:58] How would I do that? [02:17] LINKSWORD2, type "firefox" in the terminal...... [02:21] VNC server on Kubuntu 10.04.2 disc? [02:21] wildgoose: May I chat one-on-one with you? [02:23] LINKSWORD2, Sure [02:54] xorg.conf should be in /etc/x11 correct? [02:59] it's not normally needed these days so you have to make your own or add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [03:06] gr8m8 i do have a file /etc/x11/xorg.conf.failsafe [03:07] i just need /etc/x11/xorg.conf for tweaking my touchpad [03:07] chemicalvamp: there should be a file in xorg.conf.d/ called 10-synaptics or similarto tweak [03:10] nope, i dont.. but this isnt kubuntu, its a distro based off of it [03:11] does it have the synaptics driver installed? [03:11] should show in your X log near the bottom [03:11] i would assume so.. yes, but i havent checked [03:11] i dont know where the x log is [03:13] should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:13] bbiab [03:16] (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.2 so thats a yes [03:54] #ubuntu [03:54] exit [04:01] anybody here edited their touchpad configuration? === anuvrat_ is now known as anuvrat [04:38] !touchpad [04:39] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [04:39] chemicalvamp: ^^^ [04:40] thanks valorie [04:40] ubottu: thanks!

[04:46] no i dont see anything about scroll regions [04:47] what kills me is i have done all this before, and now i cant find the site [04:47] it was some command with xinput [06:10] how does a person download an apt: [06:10] like apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner [06:40] hi punty [06:40] how r u? [07:07] OK, that's not a goood sign... [07:12] My graphics settings have switched over to Ubuntu's standard layout. [07:12] I need to revert it to normal. [07:13] LINKSWORD2, Standard layout? [07:14] It appears to be Ubuntu, vs. Kubuntu... [07:14] I'm not sure how to explain... :/ [07:15] LINKSWORD2, Meaning Gnome vs. KDE? [07:15] do you run both Ubuntu desktop and Kubuntu desktop?

[07:21] eh [07:21] I don't care [07:21] mine is everywhere, and has been for a long time [07:21] LINKSWORD2, That maybe easier to find than you think.

[11:12] lspci also returns without network adapter [11:13] kubunubu: does it show unknown peripherals? [11:13] kubunubu: if not, I can only think of your network adapter being disabled in the bios settings [11:14] no [11:14] host bridge [11:14] ashwin: depends on how you copied your data [11:14] 5*ram [11:14] isa bridge [11:14] SMBus [11:14] ashwin: 1. you should've done that while installing; 2. edit /etc/fstab to point /home to the new partition & reboot [11:14] 3*ubs [11:14] kubunubu: can you pastebin it? [11:14] in the bios [11:15] kubunubu: does the network adaptor work from other OSes? [11:17] am...I'm using the live-usb and ... I don't have another usb key so I don't know how I can move it to this laptop to post it...sorry [11:17] adapter worked perfectly before install [11:17] i used 10.04 LTS for a while [11:18] kubunubu: do you recall the driver? [11:19] I have debian on a separate hdd but did a dist upgrade there and can't get any gui [11:19] I don't remember ever configuring the ethernet driver [11:20] I'll check other hdd to see network is still working [11:20] kubunubu: knowing the specific module used might be of use [11:20] you could have a look if there are reported bugs [11:23] how do I find out which module is used? [11:27] I just booted with other hard disk and i have no eth0 there now either...maybe I did something in the bios ... [11:30] then check in the BIOS [11:32] I checked bios [11:33] I can't see anywhere that ethernet is disabled [11:34] open case, check that network card is plugged into its socket properly [11:35] it is integrated, and the green light is on [11:36] sudo ifconfig eth0 up, returns: eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [11:37] full output of 'lspci' please.. in case you're still on Debian, it should have dpaste, so "sudo lspci | dpaste" (assuming you have a working network connection there; otherwise divert output to file -> sudo lspci > outputfilename <-, copy that to a machine w/ net access & paste from there) [11:38] deb connection not working now either sorry [11:39] then read on at "otherwise" [11:39] I'll try to get it to this laptop [11:39] thanks;) [11:59] what's dpaste?

[12:03] hi everyone [12:04] i've a deb issue [12:04] only trouble I've had with Flash recently is that it will crash and I have to log in from elsewhere to kill the process [12:04] my output from lspci is pasted to http://paste.ubuntu.com/628735/ [12:05] cousin_mario: dpaste is Debian's equivalent to pastebinit [12:05] i downloaded virtualbox4*.deb but when i click the file kubuntu ask me which program associates to the file [12:05] iirc, they invented that sort of pastebin script (or took the idea from unofficial work by someone else) [12:05] in ubuntu it works automatically [12:06] hey there used to be an option to keep touchpad off in system settings, after some recent update it's gone. either that or I'm crazy ;-] [12:06] fabbio84: follow the instructions to set up the pkg source from virtualbox.org, then install using the pkg manager [12:06] fabbio84: expect it should be kpackagekit [12:07] so how the f*** am I supposed to switch off the touchpad if it prevents me from typing correctly?? [12:07] but i want to know why there isn't a default program for *.deb files [12:08] drbobb: have you tried synaptiks [12:08] mfraz74: never heard of it, thanks for the tip [12:08] mfraz74: where i can find kpackagekit? i mean the path [12:09] fabbio84: not sure, but if you edit the kmenu, you should find the location [12:09] can you please make knetworkmanager work? Sometimes it doesnt display wireless connections at all and i have to use wicd or iwlist wlan0 scan....

[12:19] blinking capslock usually means kernel panic [12:20] and in my experience more often than not that means broken hardware === anuvrat_ is now known as anuvrat [12:21] and broken hardware what does it mean? [12:23] that you need to find out yourself [12:23] * szal would suggest running memtest first [12:25] i have plugged on my laptop a usb hub and in last boot stop i saw that the light of usb wifi adaptor which is connected on the hub was switch off. is it possible that sometimes there is a bad load of the hub? memtest how will help? [12:27] ilias: bad ram, badly plugged-in ram, toasted motherboard, whatever [12:27] hi my sound recently dissapeered along with flash,i have fixed hte flash issue with flashaid yet still no sound,any ideas? [12:27] ilias: first try booting a live cd, if that doen't work, well you have a problem [12:29] has someone activated the nepomuk desktop search runner plugin in krunner? [12:31] Hi everyone :) [12:31] i dont think there is any problem with the ram, mb or whatever of the hardware except maybe the usb hub. because the proble became after a system update using evgenesan repos.

I'm very new to linux and I'd love to get Kmail going (looks like a fantastic program) [12:32] howoriginalAU: is your live mail account setup for POP3 access? [12:32] mfraz74: it is indeed [12:33] howoriginalAU: I've got mine setup for Hotmail, is there any difference between that and live mail? [12:33] aside from it ending in @live.com.au I don't believe there is [12:33] what I have at the moment [12:33] is pop3.live.com as the outgoing [12:33] and smtp.live.com as the incoming [12:34] and for respective ports I have 995 and 587 [12:34] Im having sound issues,kmix or whatever th4e sound deamon is says my sound is turned up yet i cant here anything.
