[00:00] <LINKSWORD2> Did you get your problem with Helvetica figured out?
[00:00] <Linkmaster> LINKSWORD2: I believe I am going to switch to trebuchet. It looks quite nice, and if I remember correctly, its a Linuxy font
[00:01] <LINKSWORD2> Well, that's cool.
[00:02] <Linkmaster> Yup. When I used to use Libreoffice, it recognized helvetica just fine, and by monkeying around I made it the default font. I'll give trebuchet a change though, otherwise I'll stick with DejaVu
[00:03] <LINKSWORD2> Linkmaster: Do you know where firefox would install by default?
[00:04] <Linkmaster> Hmm, I believe I recall seeing it somewhere, let me see where it dumped mine..
[00:07] <Linkmaster> LINKSWORD2: its in /etc
[00:07] <LINKSWORD2> Hidden directory?
[00:08] <iconmefisto> Torch: was that to me? nvidia driver is broken in 11.04?
[00:09] <Torch> iconmefisto: yes.
[00:09] <Linkmaster> LINKSWORD2: I don't think so...I opened up Dolphin, went to root, looked in /etc, scrolled to the f part, and it was right there
[00:09] <Torch> iconmefisto: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632
[00:09] <LINKSWORD2> OK
[00:09] <iconmefisto> Torch: ok thanks. useful to know. I have nvidia graphics:)
[00:13] <LINKSWORD2> ... That's weird. It's not installing when I try to extract into that folder.
[00:16] <LINKSWORD2> And I can't Trash the old one.
[00:17] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: you're trying to extract something to /etc?
[00:17] <LINKSWORD2> Yes
[00:18] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: don't do that.
[00:18] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: it's a system directory. if you don't know what it's for, don't go near it.
[00:18] <LINKSWORD2> ???
[00:18] <LINKSWORD2> I need to install an older version of Firefox.
[00:19] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: that has nothing to do with /etc then
[00:19] <LINKSWORD2> Then I need to know what to do.
[00:19] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: you could probably download a binary tarball from firefox and unpack it to your home dir
[00:19] <LINKSWORD2> Into my documents and stuff?
[00:20] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: into your home dir. that's one level above documents
[00:20] <LINKSWORD2> I have the tarball.
[00:20] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: unpack it then. in your home folder.
[00:21] <Torch> LINKSWORD2: i have no idea how firefox distribute their binary tarballs though.
[00:21] <LINKSWORD2> I have another idea that I'm going to try.
[00:23] <LINKSWORD2> Anybody know how to find the GDeb installer?
[00:24] <LINKSWORD2> GAH!
[00:25] <Linkmaster> Torch: where does firefox install then??? Because its located in /etc for me
[00:26] <Torch> Linkmaster: that sounds rather unlikely.
[00:26] <Torch> Linkmaster: on a shell, run dpkg -L firefox
[00:26] <Linkmaster> let me rephrase it: where *should* it install then?
[00:26] <LINKSWORD2> Good question.... lol
[00:26] <Torch> Linkmaster: this will list you all the files the firefox package installed
[00:27] <Linkmaster> Its in /usr, which is the first place I checked for it...thats so wierd
[00:27] <Torch> Linkmaster: a few of those will be in /etc, but that's only default settings, no program code
[00:27] <Torch> Linkmaster: that's where it belongs though
[00:27] <xevil> Linkmaster: mine installed in /usr/lib
[00:27] <Linkmaster> yeah, some libs and stuff
[00:28] <Linkmaster> ahh, I see it. I have
[00:32] <Linkmaster> I've got myself a partitioning question: I want to have three OS's installed on my computer, for different things. I'm going to put winblows for my one proprietary software I need, so thats not hard. I know I'm going to have a swap space. Thats two partitions already, and that leaves only two left to put my linux installations. What is the best way to make sure that /home stays in the partition that I made the first
[00:32] <Linkmaster> installation in? and what is the best way to do this without causing problems, unless this is just a bad idea in general
[00:33] <Torch> Linkmaster: make a primary partition at the beginning of the drive for windows
[00:33] <Torch> Linkmaster: and an extended one on the rest of the drive.
[00:33] <Torch> Linkmaster: create logicals inside the extended for linux
[00:33] <Linkmaster> So what does that do exactly?
[00:33] <Torch> Linkmaster: use UUID in /etc/fstab
[00:33] <Linkmaster> UUID?
[00:34] <Torch> Linkmaster: don't reference partitions by their device node (like /dev/sda13)
[00:34] <Torch> Linkmaster: reference them by their UUID
[00:34] <Torch> Linkmaster: google for it ;-)
[00:35] <Linkmaster> Is the UUID the awkward hash of numbers and letters that represent the drive in /media?
[00:35] <Torch> Linkmaster: that might be hardware id's, not UUID
[00:35] <Torch> Linkmaster: but it does indeed look weird. doesn't matter, you don't have to remember or understand it, just use it once
[00:35] <Torch> Linkmaster: so that whatever you do the numbers don't change
[00:35] <Linkmaster> Haha, alright
[00:36] <Linkmaster> I'm planning on wiping my drive and starting over; winblows at the very beginning, maybe 10gigs, Kubuntu next using about 100gigs, LFS afterwards at about 20gigs, and then the swap for 8gigs
[00:37] <Torch> Linkmaster: sounds workable. i'd still recommend an extended partition
[00:37] <Torch> Linkmaster: linux deals with those alright.
[00:37] <Linkmaster> how does an extended partition work exactly? I know I'm running one, though it was set up automatically by the kubuntu installation
[00:38] <Torch> Linkmaster: you can have up to 63 logicals inside an extended
[00:38] <Torch> Linkmaster: while you can only have 4 primaries
[00:38] <Linkmaster> AHH, and since an OS only needs a logical to work..
[00:38] <Torch> Linkmaster: yep, linux can boot from those. windows cannot, iirc.
[00:39] <Linkmaster> Hmm...yet another thing winblows can't do xD
[00:39] <Torch> Linkmaster: logicals have a disadvantage: they're chained to each other, which isn't a problem as long as you don't delete one.
[00:39] <Linkmaster> delete one, and everything goes to hell I assume?
[00:40] <Torch> Linkmaster: but if you have /dev/sda10, /dev/sda11 and /dev/sda12 and then delete /dev/sda11, /dev/sda12 gets renumbered to /dev/sda11
[00:40] <Torch> Linkmaster: no, the names change. that's all
[00:40] <Linkmaster> Oh. but if you have scripts that rely on the number...THATS when it'l all go to hell
[00:40] <Torch> Linkmaster: so if you reference the names in /etc/fstab, linux won't be able to mount the file systems until you fix that manually.
[00:40] <Torch> Linkmaster: so just use UUID and you're safe
[00:41] <Linkmaster> I'll need to figure out what UUID is exactly then
[00:41] <Torch> Linkmaster: open a shell, run "blkid"
[00:41] <Torch> Linkmaster: it will list all UUIDs for all file systems in use
[00:41] <Linkmaster> nothing came up o:
[00:42] <Torch> Linkmaster: hmm
[00:43] <Linkmaster> Torch: any idea as to why that would happen?
[00:43] <Torch> Linkmaster: not really. what's your kubuntu version?
[00:44] <Linkmaster> 11.04 KDE4.6.4
[00:45] <Torch> Linkmaster: i don't run 11.04, but i can't imagine it not having a working blkid... that's pretty basic.
[00:45] <Linkmaster> Huh...not sure D: I did roll up from 10.10, though I doubt that would cause issues
[00:46] <Torch> Linkmaster: that should not affect this.
[00:46] <Linkmaster> Didn't think so. Hrm. I wouldnt have a clue
[00:46] <Torch> Linkmaster: you might try installing kde partition manager and check if it shows you uuids in partition properties
[00:46] <Linkmaster> kparted? yeah, thats on my computer, let me boot it up
[00:46] <Torch> Linkmaster: no, kde partition manager
[00:46] <Linkmaster> I thought they were the same...
[00:47] <Torch> Linkmaster: they are not ;-)
[00:47] <Linkmaster> well, kde partition manager is whats on my computer
[00:49] <Linkmaster> I can't see any UUID
[00:49] <Torch> Linkmaster: right click on a partition, pick properties. check the dialog.
[00:50] <Torch> Linkmaster: it should list uuids
[00:50] <Linkmaster> I found it. I was right clicking on the wrong thing
[00:51] <Linkmaster> 52c41a31-7dd4-479f-bbbe-fd577a072d41
[00:51] <LINKSWORD2> lol
[00:51] <Linkmaster> so how does this hash of stuff help me at all?
[00:51] <Torch> Linkmaster: you can use it in /etc/fstab to reference partitions
[00:51] <Torch> (or file systems, to be precise)
[00:51] <Linkmaster> But...what does that do?
[00:52] <Torch> Linkmaster: hmm, well, maybe you should google on read up on some of the concepts involved here ;-)
[00:52] <Linkmaster> I'm planning on wiping my drive completely clean before I install anything new on it
[00:52] <Torch> Linkmaster: nothing wrong with that
[00:53] <Linkmaster> alright, I'll find something about what a UUID is and what its useful for
[00:53] <Torch> Linkmaster: wikipedia will have something about it
[00:53] <Linkmaster> Then I shall start there
[00:53] <Torch> Linkmaster: and it's not mandatory for what you plan to do
[00:53] <Torch> Linkmaster: just some advice
[00:54] <Linkmaster> nah, it'll be useful for me in the long run. I can't learn as much as possible if I don't look up the seemingly 'uneeded' stuf
[00:54] <LINKSWORD2> Well... I've gotta go.
[01:12] <Linkmaster> I'm planning on helping my mom transition to kubuntu[if she likes it] and I want the installation to be as painless as possible. I'm going to use 10.04 as the installation because of its better support, though I believe her computer is a 64bit computer. Would it be a bad idea to put a 32bit installation on it? I know that 32bit has fewer problems, and as said, I want her first experience to be utterly painless
[01:13] <Unit193> 32bit should work just fine on 64bit hardware
[01:19] <PortalGunz> Hello, will Kubuntu keep the KDE windows manager as Ubuntu is changing it's ?
[01:20] <Linkmaster> alright, I figurd as much. I just don't want her computer to go bonkers while I'm gone[I'm going to remove her from the sudoers list so she doesn't accidentally screw something u]
[01:20] <Linkmaster> PortalGunz: Kubuntu follows KDE; if KDE decides to stop using Plasma, then thats their choice
[01:21] <PortalGunz> Linkmaster: so pretty much I shouldn't be shafted in the GUI with Kubuntu like Ubuntu ?
[01:24] <Linkmaster> PortalGunz: definitely not. KDE is doing magnificantly with Plasma, its very pretty and extremely customizable. Unity is extremely young, give it time to mature and become better if you're bigger for Ubuntu. Though, you can also remove Unity and put Gnome3 on, though that also had a huge change compared to Gnome2
[01:27] <PortalGunz> Linkmaster: I was just looking to use LTS'
[01:28] <Linkmaster> PortalGunz: The LTS of Kubuntu is running KDE4.4 I believe, its Plasma as well, and 12.04 is either going to run 4.6 or 4.7, both of which are the same. If you're thinking of shafting like gnome2->Unity, you missed it a long while ago[KDE3->KDE4]
[01:38] <nino10> listù
[01:38] <nino10> list
[01:38] <nino10> list!
[01:55] <PortalGunz> Linkmaster: OK, so pretty much nothing to worry about seems like
[01:55] <PortalGunz> (While using Kubuntu)
[01:55] <Linkmaster> Yep yep
[02:10] <PortalGunz> Linkmaster: Does it have FireFox 4 though?
[02:10] <PortalGunz> Or still 3?
[02:10] <PortalGunz> (if I was to install FireFox)
[02:11] <Linkmaster> I know that 10.10 and 11.04 have FF4, 10.04 might have FF4, not sure, I don't use it
[02:11] <PortalGunz> I'm assuming the regular releases are only a few months while the LTS is 3 years ?
[02:12] <PortalGunz> Also they just released 5.
[02:29] <Linkmaster> PortalGunz: LTS happens every fourth release, so it looks like this: 10.04[LTS], 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, 12.04[LTS] etc etc
[03:28] <Linkmaster> Whats the latest release for oneriec, and where can I find it? I tried some web searching, but came up with nothing I'd readily trust
[04:43] <teddy_> yo sup guys
[04:43] <teddy_> gots a question..
[04:43] <teddy_> how do I use this?
[04:44] <Linkmaster> define "this"
[06:19] <beto> alguem sabe n novo biglinux?
[06:19] <beto> colocar icones na area de trabalho
[06:22] <beto> hey ..y r sleeping??
[06:22] <beto> u*
[06:23] <Linkmaster> I'm not :P
[06:23] <beto> have others rooms ,here?
[06:23] <Linkmaster> Such as?
[06:57] <valorie> Linkmaster: if you want the very latest, check out #project-neon
[06:57] <valorie> bleeding edge KDE
[06:58] <Linkmaster> I have it installed, I just keep forgeting to use it. Its also hard on my computer due to the small amount of RAM/swap
[07:08] <PortalGunz> Is the ease of Samba sharing only in the new 11.04 ?
[07:10] <PortalGunz> I'm assuming you can still use samba anyway on LTS

[08:13] <naftilos76> hi, during the last days i had two or three total crashes meaning that the system hangs, screen freezes (no black screens) and no virtual consoles work whatsoever. Any idea what log files i can search in ?
[08:14] <naftilos76> I am on Kubuntu 11.04 & KDE updated to 4.6.4
[08:31] <Torch> naftilos76: nvidia graphics card?
[08:39] <zedority> why would all windows in a KDE/kwin environment be opening up automatically maximized, and missing their titlebars?
[08:39] <zedority> when i resize the windows, the titlebar comes back. it's weird.
[08:39] <naftilos76> Torch: i just discovered something amazing. I was playing an MMS stream. The same thing happened with Amarok and vlc. After some time of playing the stream (or any MMS stream) i experienced the total system crash or the event of driving the CPU to 100%. The mouse could barely move and so i tried shuting dowm apps to see whether a running app is causing the problem. After shutting down vlc the system is up and running with CPU ocuppied at 0
[08:39] <naftilos76> -5%.
[08:39] <szal> wrong display settings?
[08:40] <szal> naftilos76: sounds like failing PSU, I had similar symptoms when I had one dying
[08:40] <zedority> the maximized window, sans titlebar, fits the desktop space perfectly
[08:41] <Torch> zedority: graphics card?
[08:41] <naftilos76> szal: what can be causing this? I didn't have any problems with graphics (GeForce 9600GT)
[08:42] <zedority> Torch: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
[08:43] <Torch> zedority: my uninformed guess would be it's a graphics driver bug.
[08:44] <zedority> Torch: it would not surprise me. This isn't the first time I've tried KDE4 on this laptop.
[08:44] <zedority> I was just hoping such a problem would be related to the kwin configuration rather than the graphics driver
[08:44] <Torch> zanoi: try turning off desktop effects and see if that makes it go away
[08:48] <zedority> nope, no change. tried running kwin --replace to update, still no change in behaviour.
[08:48] <zedority> maybe a config file somewhere?
[08:48] <Torch> zedority: sounds unlikely.
[08:48] <Torch> zedority: you could try #kde later today and see if any of the kwin folks is there
[08:49] <zedority> torch: will do. thanks.
[09:45] <Canvasian> Hi! I'm just testing out Quassel IRC. This channel was here by default. Is it the Kubuntu  support channel?
[09:47] <Canvasian> I guess this is a bad time to test x3 I will come back later
[10:22] <SeySayux> Hi, how do I set the default resolution (the one of the log in window) in Kubuntu?
[10:31] <Ddpbf> SeySayux: do you have xorg.conf ?
[10:32] <SeySayux> Ddpbf: nope
[10:32] <Ddpbf> aha
[10:32] <Ddpbf> try to configure it
[10:33] <Ddpbf> Are you farmiliar with process?
[10:33] <SeySayux> not really, no
[10:34] <Ddpbf> ok
[10:34] <Ddpbf> write this instructions on paper
[10:34] <Ddpbf> you should do it from tty
[10:35] <SeySayux> It's in a VM, and I'm on the host now, so go ahead
[10:35] <Ddpbf> aha
[10:36] <Ddpbf> first get in tty
[10:36] <Ddpbf> CTRL + ALT + F2
[10:36] <Ddpbf> (f1 to f6 are all good)
[10:36] <SeySayux> just tell me the commands I need ;)
[10:36] <Ddpbf> first log in in tty
[10:36] <Ddpbf> it is same as normal except no gui
[10:37] <Ddpbf> sudo service kdm stop
[10:37] <Ddpbf> sudo Xorg -configure
[10:37] <Ddpbf> sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:37] <Ddpbf> sudo service kdm start
[10:38] <SeySayux> okay, thanks, I'll try that
[10:40] <SeySayux> For some reason I'm not quite sure of, ctrl+alt+f2 simply switches to my second desktop. Are virtual terminals even enabled anymore?
[10:42] <SeySayux> Okay, shutting down kdm did the trick, I'm in the vt now
[10:44] <Ddpbf> konsole and gnome terminal are virtual terminals
[10:44] <Ddpbf> (terminal emulations in gui)
[10:44] <Ddpbf> tty is real console
[10:46] <SeySayux> Actually, it's called a virtual terminal. Xterm-alikes are terminal emulators: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console
[10:46] <SeySayux> A real console would involve a hardware console
[10:46] <Ddpbf> aha
[10:46] <Ddpbf> thanks for info
[10:48] <SeySayux> I'm more of a server Linux person
[10:51] <SeySayux> Hmm, there seem to be some problems with generating the xorg.conf file... 5 seconds
[10:53] <SeySayux> gtg now, if there are more problems I can't fix, I'll ask again

[15:19] <mudassar> anybody there  ?
[15:19] <mudassar> I need libc.a and libc.so built using icc
[15:34] <rickey> year, ago i had kubuntu604 , or something like that.but that computer went down, a friend gave me kubuntu 10.10 and i installed it everthing is different. i need a little help getting started again
[15:35] <rickey> wen i went to install games and other things , nothing looked the same
[15:36] <rickey> i need to set up aim or facebook
[15:38]  * szal_ wonders what's there to set up w/ Facebook
[15:38] <rickey> ok ill come back later wen morte peopel are here
[15:39] <szal> !patience | rickey
[15:39] <rickey> AIM clovers facebook  now
[15:39] <rickey> well it dose on windows
[15:40] <szal> and of course 11.04 looks differently than 6.06; it's been 5 years and a major overhaul of KDE ;)
[15:40] <rickey> sorry i have 10.10
[15:41] <Ddpbf> ok it is 4 years overhaul then
[15:41] <Ddpbf> :>
[15:42] <szal> same applies for that..  and you may wanna get rid of 10.10 as long as you don't have too much important data on it since it will fall out of support in 4 months or so; so get 11.04 and upgrade ^^
[15:42] <rickey> good ideal
[15:43] <szal> !upgrade
[15:56] <rafael> ola
[15:56] <rafael> preciso de ajuda
[15:57] <rafael> alguem ai pode me ajudar
[15:57] <DarthFrog> !es | rafael
[16:00] <tsimpson> szal: 10.10 is supported until April 2012
[16:01] <szal> is it really that long?  I thought it's only the 2 latest versions + LTS..
[16:01] <szal> !pt | rafael
[16:01] <tsimpson> LTS is 3 years on the desktop, 5 on the server
[16:01] <szal> DarthFrog: language recognition fail ;)
[16:01] <tsimpson> so 10.10 isn't LTS
[16:02]  * szal never said that 10.10 is LTS
[16:02] <tsimpson> oh, misread
[16:03] <tsimpson> it's 3 releases for normal releases
[16:03] <tsimpson> ie, 18 months
[16:03] <DarthFrog> szal: It does that. :-)
[16:39] <mudassar> hello genius people
[16:39] <mudassar> anyone who can answer me ?
[16:39] <Pici> Answer what?
[16:39] <mudassar> I have a problem, I am trying to solve it since three days, please help me
[16:39] <Linkmaster> Theres lots here, ask away
[16:40] <mudassar> actually I am trying to link glibc with icc compiler ....... I want to use a function sched_getcpu in my c code to get the core id, but the library libc is incompatible with intel c++ compiler (icc)
[16:41] <mudassar> what is the best short cut solution for it? should I build a private glibc using icc ? or there is a way to have some kind of wrapper that can be linked with icc ??

[16:46] <jorges> hi
[16:46] <Canvasian> Hello
[16:46] <jorges> how can I disable KDe sounds completely? is it possible?
[16:47] <jorges> I mean, I don't need pulseaudio, it conflicts with flash sounds and jackd...
[16:49] <Canvasian> I'm not sure, I'm new to KDE myself, but I'm poking around in hopes of stumbling upon an answer x3
[16:51] <DarthFrog> !pulse | jorges
[16:51] <DarthFrog> jorges: There is a section in that document about removing PulseAudio.
[16:51] <jorges> aha, I'll have a look then... thanks
[16:56] <Ddpbf> jorges: removing pulse is not what you want
[16:56] <Ddpbf> in any *buntu
[16:57] <jorges> Ddpbf: then?
[16:58] <jorges> I don't want sounds in KDE
[16:58] <jorges> I just want sound in flash player and jackd
[16:58] <jorges> those don't use pulseaudio
[16:58] <jorges> ...but I can't make this work :-/
[17:00] <jorges> well, rebooting... :(
[17:06] <Ddpbf> jorges: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=220d210f6996de60143a479240aab117&p=7077359&postcount=2
[17:07] <Ddpbf> i presume you want to remove system notifications sounds
[17:07] <jorges> no sound... :(
[17:07] <Ddpbf> I told you not to play with pulse
[17:07] <jorges> Ddpbf: no, I want KDE not to touch alsa
[17:07] <Ddpbf> ?
[17:07] <jorges> I mean, I don't mind if amarok loses sound too
[17:08] <Ddpbf> errrr
[17:08] <jorges> I just need flash and jackd sounds
[17:08] <jorges> no pulseaudio invonved there
[17:08] <Ddpbf> kde could use alsa
[17:08] <jorges> but I think my problem is also with alsa
[17:08] <jorges> :-{
[17:08] <Ddpbf> but alsa has very few options in compare to pulse
[17:10] <jorges> I don't need them really
[17:10] <jorges> just want alsa free, to load jackd
[17:20] <jorges> Ddpbf: ie. now, I have kded4 and knotify4 using libasound... how can I avoid that?
[17:20] <jorges> that doesn't let me use what I need, and If I kill them... well, bad things happen :)
[17:21] <Ddpbf> i gave you link
[17:21] <Ddpbf> how to turn off system notifications
[17:21] <Ddpbf> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=220d210f6996de60143a479240aab117&p=7077359&postcount=2
[17:24] <jorges> ok, rebooting...
[17:28] <jorges_> ok, no proccesess using alsa :)
[17:28] <jorges_> thanks
[17:29] <jorges_> no, they're back again
[17:29] <jorges_> :|
[17:30] <jorges_> kded4 is using libasound
[17:33] <Ddpbf> remove phonon entire kde would be mute
[17:35] <jorges_> emm... plasma-desktop and lots more packages depends on it :(
[17:36] <Ddpbf> then dont use kde it is designed to interact with your sound hardware
[17:37] <jorges_> ...
[17:37] <Ddpbf> or compile kde without multimedia support
[17:38] <DarthFrog> jorges_: The best you can do is turn off system sounds.  And have you considered simply turning off your speakers when you're not listening to what you want to hear?  Disabling/removing pulseaudio *will not* do what you're asking.
[17:39] <jorges_> I just want to use jackd sound server
[17:39] <DarthFrog> The system and its various apps are designed to use the sound system; that's part of the reason you have that resource, to use it.
[17:39] <jorges_> don't mind systems sounds, phonon, pulseaudio, etc...
[17:40] <DarthFrog> Phonon is the KDE sound subsystem.  It uses pulse by default but it doesn't have to.
[17:40] <palodequeso> just got an asus eee pc, the specs claim it has an intel gma 3150 which I"m pretty sure is supported by linux almost fully. But when I open up KInfoCenter it shows an Intel N10 which is not supported. Anyway to force a try of the 3150 drivers in 11.04?
[17:40] <Ddpbf> yes
[17:41] <Ddpbf> you could tell phonon to use jackd
[17:41] <DarthFrog> Mind you, sound on Linux is a right royal dog's breakfast.
[17:42] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: intel gpus do not have proprietary drivers
[17:42] <palodequeso> right, intel provides the linux community with their source and specs
[17:42] <jorges_> I know... I've been fighting with this for years...
[17:43] <Ddpbf> intel writes floss drivers for allmost all its hardware
[17:43] <jorges_> I always got jackd running any way or another, but now with kubuntu 11.04... :S
[17:43] <palodequeso> right now my opengl is running on mesa... which is poop considering I'm working on some 3d code.
[17:43] <palodequeso> and I have an intel gma 3150 elsewhere which works fine
[17:43] <jorges_> I also have a problem with alsa, because it's got a critical bug with my soundcard delta66, but I know a workaround for that
[17:44] <palodequeso> Ddpbf: I wonder why kubuntu didn't pick up on the gma3150 then?
[17:44] <jorges_> but KDE always gives me problems when I install/upgrade
[17:45] <jorges_> DarthFrog: would it be possible to tell phonon to use jackd, and flash/firefox to use it too? always?
[17:45] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: i know that there is driver for it in archlinux
[17:46] <Ddpbf> then must be in *buntus
[17:46] <palodequeso> one would hope.
[17:46] <Ddpbf> give me few secs to check
[17:46] <palodequeso> okey doke, thanks a lot!
[17:46] <palodequeso> I've never had an intel gma card not automagically work.
[17:46] <palodequeso> I'm used to setting up nvidia cards
[17:46] <DarthFrog> jorges_: No idea but if you've got Phonon using it, I'd expect everything to be putting sound through it.  I don't think apps use the sound system independently.
[17:47] <maco> palodequeso: that the poulsbo chip that intel doesn't support the driver for?
[17:48] <palodequeso> maco: not sure
[17:48] <palodequeso> maco: lspci?
[17:48] <maco> hmm...nah looks like poulsbo is gma 500
[17:48] <palodequeso> weird, even lspci claims it's an N10 Family Integrated Graphics Contrtoller
[17:48] <palodequeso> but specs everywhere claim it's the 3150
[17:49] <palodequeso> this is a netbook with an intel atom
[17:49] <palodequeso> which I know has it's own issues, but so far everything but this works out of the box... even the webcam!
[17:49] <Ddpbf> what lsmdo says?
[17:50] <jorges_> now I'm using phonon ---> gstreamer
[17:50] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: wait, all is working? 3d etc?
[17:51] <jorges_> so why is kded4 using libasound? :(
[17:51] <palodequeso> Ddpbf: no, that's the only thing that's not. It's running in mesa :(
[17:51] <Ddpbf> jorges_: because kded4 starts all proceses in kde session
[17:52] <jorges_> aha
[17:54] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_500_on_Linux
[18:00] <palodequeso> Ddpbf: sorry, I got booted, my wife called and I was tethered to this ol' netbook
[18:00] <palodequeso> since I have verizon, that kills the tether
[18:00] <palodequeso> what should I grep for in lsmod to see the vid card stuffs
[18:00] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: wait it is hybrid gpu
[18:01] <Ddpbf> ie you have both intel and nvidia?
[18:01] <palodequeso> no no no
[18:01] <Ddpbf> or it isn ot case?
[18:02] <Ddpbf> asus ee pc wich it is
[18:03] <Ddpbf> ion, p1215...?
[18:03] <palodequeso> atom
[18:03] <palodequeso> one sec
[18:03] <palodequeso> I had the model number
[18:03] <palodequeso> 1015PE-BBK603
[18:03] <palodequeso> both newegg and best buy say it's an intel gma 310
[18:04] <linux-beginner-h> is there a known issue with dimap and kontact? I have expired 6000 mails but on the google server... all mails are still there...
[18:04] <Ddpbf> err i tought of this
[18:04] <Ddpbf> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC#Specifications
[18:04] <linux-beginner-h> on the first sync after expire... kontact tells me... deleting messages on server... but this seems to be wrong
[18:05] <DarthFrog> palodequeso: Run "lspci | grep VGA", which will tell you what the system thinks it is.
[18:05] <Ddpbf> there is dozen netbooks with asus eee pc
[18:06] <Ddpbf> DarthFrog: probably he got model with gma500
[18:06] <Ddpbf> it is only intel gpu with bad linux support
[18:06] <DarthFrog> palodequeso: "lspci -v" will also tell you what kernel modules are used for it.
[18:10] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: it seem ther is launchpad ppa with correct drivers
[18:10] <Ddpbf> few of ppa actually
[18:15] <palodequeso> do you know which one?
[18:15] <palodequeso> I'll grab it quick
[18:15] <palodequeso> that would rule!!! :)
[18:16] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=gma500
[18:16] <palodequeso> you rock!
[18:16] <Ddpbf> but i do not know if  you actually have that gpu
[18:17] <Ddpbf> thats why i am asking type of eee
[18:18] <palodequeso> it's the asus eee seashell 1015PE-BBK603
[18:18] <Ddpbf> huh
[18:18] <palodequeso> that's the full model of eee pc
[18:18] <palodequeso> from asus
[18:19] <palodequeso> the specs say a gma 3150 online, but the lspci says some Intel N10 Integrated graphics card
[18:20] <BluesKaj> Ddpbf, lshw -C video , that will tell you the graphics card make and model , look at "product" in the output
[18:20] <palodequeso> The machine itself doesn't actually say the model number on it, but I got it from best buy, and that is the only model on their site that matches the specs of my machine
[18:20] <palodequeso> I suppose I could use the asus serial number
[18:21] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: [19:20] <BluesKaj> Ddpbf, lshw -C video , that will tell you the graphics card make and model , look at "product" in the output
[18:22] <palodequeso> N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller
[18:24] <Ddpbf> what lspci -v says
[18:25] <palodequeso> Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller
[18:25] <palodequeso> and it says it's using the i915 driver
[18:26] <Ddpbf> try some of ppas
[18:26] <Ddpbf> it wont do any harm
[18:28] <palodequeso> true
[18:28] <palodequeso> although, I doubt it will autoswitch drivers :(
[18:29] <palodequeso> I'd have to try different ones I guess
[18:32] <Ddpbf> palodequeso: do you have xorg.conf?
[18:33] <palodequeso> I do not... I don't think it's there by default anymore
[18:34] <Ddpbf> try to configure it
[18:34] <Ddpbf> dkms knows to mess up all
[18:35] <Ddpbf> do you know how to configure?
[18:35] <palodequeso> xorg-reconfigure?
[18:35] <Ddpbf> nope
[18:35] <Ddpbf> http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html
[18:36] <BluesKaj> sudo Xorg -configure
[18:36] <Ddpbf> replace gdm with kdm and you ll be fine
[18:36] <Ddpbf> BluesKaj: yes, but it must be done from tty
[18:37] <Ddpbf> and with root permisions
[18:37] <palodequeso> cool
[18:38] <BluesKaj> hmm really , we used to reconfigure xorg.conf in the terminal as root ..has xorg permissions changed that much ?
[18:38] <palodequeso> yep
[18:38] <palodequeso> I used to do that too
[18:38] <BluesKaj> it's not as if he has to stop the kdm service
[18:39] <BluesKaj> may nedd to relogin
[18:39] <BluesKaj> need
[18:39] <Unit193> .ubottu would like to disagree
[18:40] <Ddpbf> i think it is necessary to restart kdm to aplay changes
[18:40] <BluesKaj> anyway i haven't had to reconfigure Xorg.conf in several yrs so I guess that's changed too
[18:41] <Ddpbf> :(
[18:42] <BluesKaj> seems a reboot is in order if you want immediate changes
[18:43] <Ddpbf> it is lonly logical
[18:44] <BluesKaj> yeah, my memory fails me again
[18:44] <Peace-> BluesKaj: :)
[18:44] <BluesKaj> hey Peace-
[18:46] <palodequeso> hmm, is the Xorg driver tag the name of it?
[18:46] <palodequeso> like nvidia for nvidia cards
[18:46] <palodequeso> and nv for open source nvidia drivers?
[18:47] <Ddpbf> xserver-xorg-video-intel
[18:47] <BluesKaj> nv could be the nouveau experimental nvidia driver
[18:50] <palodequeso> I think I need to run pineviewgm
[18:51] <palodequeso> it seems there are others that lspci claims N10 Family integrated but the specs claim GMA3150
[18:51] <palodequeso> so confusing
[18:53] <BluesKaj> palodequeso, look for video or grphics controller, intel may also have audio onboard chips
[18:53] <BluesKaj> or other bridges
[18:53] <faddy> hello
[18:53] <palodequeso> one quick thing to try would just be the intel testing ppa
[18:54] <bomber> hello
[18:54] <bomber> i was wondering if they stopped supporting 2.6.31-23-generic
[18:55] <bomber> i havent had any updates in over a month
[18:55] <BluesKaj> bomber, which kubuntu ?
[18:55] <bomber> #75-Ubuntu
[18:56] <BluesKaj> ??
[18:56] <bomber> im using kubuntu though
[18:56] <bomber> thats not right?
[18:56] <BluesKaj>  bomber , lsb_release -a
[18:57] <bomber> Ubuntu 9.10
[18:57] <palodequeso> finally found a good link, and a good ppa to update my gfx driver with
[18:57] <BluesKaj> yup , that's no longer supported , bomber
[18:58] <bomber> i tried installing or actually just running the live version of the 11.04 but it gives me the menu then the screen goes into no signal mode and the computer seems to still keep running and the cd drive light looks like its still running the cd
[18:59] <bomber> ok thanks... any tips on why i cant run or install any of the newer versions?
[19:00] <bomber> im gonna try and remove my video card and see what happens with just the onboard video
[19:00] <Ddpbf> bomber: what kind of internet connection you have?
[19:00] <palodequeso> fingers crossed, time to try it all out
[19:00] <palodequeso> thanks for the help everyone!
[19:00] <BluesKaj> bomber, internet upgrade to 10.04 , sudo do-release-upgrade
[19:00] <bomber> cable...... 20/10
[19:01] <bomber> ive tried that and after the upgrade i get no video... the screen goes blank after reboot and nothing happens
[19:01] <bomber> i then have to reinstall the 9.10 version
[19:02] <BluesKaj> no tty prompt  , bomber ?
[19:03] <bomber> nope... nothing.... the screen says no video input device found so its not recognizing my vid card it seems
[19:03] <BluesKaj> ok which video card ?
[19:03] <bomber> 1 sec i'll open it up... i forget.. i know its nvidia
[19:04] <BluesKaj> no need to open
[19:04] <BluesKaj> run sudo lshw -C video , look at product
[19:05] <bomber> G94 [GeForce 9600 GT]
[19:05] <bomber> nice thanks
[19:07] <BluesKaj> bomber, that card should work with the nvidia-current driver , I know it works on 10.10 and 11.04 ...dunno why it isn't on 10.04
[19:08] <bomber> i tried running the 11.04 and get the same results
[19:09] <BluesKaj> bomber, ok the live cd ?
[19:09] <bomber> yes amd 64 live cd
[19:09] <bomber> should i try the 32 bit?
[19:09] <BluesKaj> how old is your pc ?
[19:10] <bomber> not too old...... quad core amd phenom 2 processor so its fairly current
[19:10] <BluesKaj> hmm, that's really odd
[19:10] <bomber> i know... its been pissing me off for some time
[19:10] <BluesKaj> maybe the HW is a bit exotic ..perhaps the alternate install might work for you
[19:11] <bomber> maybe i'll remove the card and see if i can run the live cd and install it then try putting it back in
[19:11] <BluesKaj> !alternate
[19:11] <bomber> ok  i'll try that first
[19:12] <bomber> thanks for your time, i appreciate it
[19:12] <BluesKaj> np bomber , hope it works for you
[19:15] <bomber> niiiiiiice way faster today than yesterday... getting almost 2 megs a sec
[19:15] <bomber> 4 minutes remaining for a 650 meg download... lol
[19:16] <BluesKaj> nice
[19:16] <BluesKaj> I'm in the boonies so 750kbs is max for here
[19:18] <bomber> thats still pretty darn good...  sure beats the old 28.8 modem days... i remember being sooooo excited i could afford a 56k..lol
[19:19] <bomber> good talking to you... im headed out but when i get back i'll burn that and light a few candles and pray it works
[19:20] <BluesKaj> hehe, yeah ...we had no dsl for the first few yrs ...finally in 2002 it came down the pipe ...the first was 125kbs ..we thoght that was really fast ...10X the ave of the previous
[19:21] <BluesKaj> well bomber  , come back if you need to , use the other live cd to logon if heeded
[19:21] <BluesKaj> needed
[19:23] <Canvasian> Hello
[19:24] <Canvasian> I am using the Netbook Plasma workspace and I can't get anything to show up under "Contacts" in Search and Launch
[19:24] <Canvasian> I thought I just had to put them into the Kaddress book, but that doesn't seem to work
[19:24] <Canvasian> Anyone know?
[19:25] <BluesKaj> try contact
[19:25] <Canvasian> When I click on contact in the search and launch menu, nothing comes up
[19:26] <Canvasian> When I search for it, it just gives me KAddressBook
[19:26] <BluesKaj> Canvasian, type it in search
[19:27] <BluesKaj> dunno what your problem is ..isn't kaddressbook what you want?
[19:28] <Canvasian> No, on the plasma netbook workspace on the search and launch screen, there is a "Contacts" category
[19:28] <Canvasian> but nothing shows up in it, and I can't figure out how to make my contacts show up there
[19:28] <Canvasian> even though I have them listed in KAddressBook
[19:28] <BluesKaj> ok Kontact?
[19:29] <Canvasian> That might work
[19:30] <Canvasian> Hmmm... nope
[19:33] <BluesKaj> Kaddressbook in apps>office
[19:33] <Canvasian> Right, that's what I tried first. I have my contacts listed in there, but it doesn't show under Contacts in Search and Launch
[19:35] <Canvasian> Ah well, I will try some more later
[19:35] <Canvasian> Thank you
[19:36] <rafael> hello i am rafael
[19:36] <rafael> quero saber tem algum chat em br
[19:36] <rafael> urgente
[19:37] <rafael> alguem ai me ajuda
[19:38] <BluesKaj> !br | rafael
[19:43] <palodequeso> well, nothing worked. blah
[19:43] <palodequeso> mesa it is I guess
[19:46] <eamelink> Hi, I have just installed Kubuntu 11.04, and I have a question about the network manager applet (is that it's name?) It discovered my HSDPA modem, and now I'm connected (obviously ;)), and I see a cellphone-icon.
[19:47] <eamelink> If I left-click it, I get a menu with 'WLAN interface Create network connection', 'Enable networking' and 'Enable wireless'
[19:47] <eamelink> And 'Manage connections', where I can define connections.
[19:48] <eamelink> But how can I tell it for example to disconnect?
[19:48] <eamelink> Or, if I'm disconnected, to reconnect?
[19:48] <eamelink> If I right-click on the icon, nothing happens which seems very odd to me. I would expect the missing functionality to be there.
[19:48] <eamelink> So my question is, are you supposed to see something when you right-click on the network manager systray icon?
[20:06] <BluesKaj> eamelink, yes , not responding ?
[20:14] <eamelink> BluesKaj: I think so, there's just nothing happening if I right-click on the icon.
[20:14] <eamelink> Wait, it does now, after a reboot!
[20:15] <eamelink> But only once...
[20:15] <BluesKaj-den> eamelink, what happens if you just click on it ?
[20:16] <eamelink> Hmmm
[20:16] <eamelink> It did not work after all, not even a single time.
[20:17] <eamelink> If I just click on it (left mouse button), I see my configured wireless network, that I can click on
[20:18] <eamelink> If I click on that, it makes the wifi connection
[20:18] <BluesKaj-den> ok . check on connect automatically
[20:20] <eamelink> BluesKaj-den: I had that on for the HSDPA connection, but disabled it now.
[20:21] <eamelink> Actually, it seems to work quite nice; it always makes a 3G connection, if I connect to WiFi as well, then it uses the wifi connection, and if I disconnect from the WiFi, then it still has the 3G connection
[20:21] <eamelink> But I'd like to manually manage my 3G connection as well
[20:22] <BluesKaj-den> i have no knowledge of 3G stick connections ..just remove it if you want to use 3G
[20:22] <BluesKaj-den> don't
[20:23] <eamelink> I never remove it; it's builtin in my notebook, not a stick :P
[20:23] <eamelink> Thanks for all your help :)
[20:25] <BluesKaj-den> eamelink, well there must be an option to disable 3G and vice versa
[20:26] <david___> hi
[20:26] <david___> i am trying to use make command but it wont work idk why and it's my first time using it
[20:27] <eamelink> BluesKaj: That's what I would expect, but I can't seem to manually manage my 3G connection with it.
[20:27] <szal> define "wont work"
[20:27] <david___> trying to install the galaxium-0.7.4.1
[20:27] <szal> doesn't answer the question
[20:27] <david___> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[20:27] <eamelink> BluesKaj: I removed the checkbox before 'enable networking', and that killed my 3G connection, but now I can't get it to reconnect :P
[20:28] <szal> david___: are you following the build instructions?
[20:28] <david___> yes
[20:28] <david___> i did
[20:28] <david___> and this is the next step
[20:28] <david___> what i do now
[20:29] <szal> pastebin the build instructions
[20:29] <david___> w8
[20:30] <david___> http://pastebin.com/YfAr8XRW
[20:31] <BluesKaj> are you cd'd into the galaxium dir/folder , david___ ?  and did you run ./configure ?
[20:31] <david___> well i am in the dir
[20:32] <szal> pastebin output of sh autogen.sh

[21:54] <NotQ> done
[21:55] <BluesKaj> then , sudo do-release-upgrade ..but make sure you disable any ppa repos that you added since the install

[21:58] <NotQ> says 10.10 maverick
[22:02] <netsurf3> hello ladys and gents does anyone know how stable the kde backports are for lucid?
[22:03] <NotQ> any idea why it cant find the new distro?
[22:03] <BluesKaj> NotQ, check your servers , or maybe change the server ,,,something is wrong with them/it
[22:04] <NotQ> sorry, im fairly new to linux, how do i change the server?
[22:04] <BluesKaj> netsurf3, uhm lucid is a mature release , how stable does it need to be
[22:07] <netsurf3> BluesKaj, the stock lucid kubuntu (kde 4.4) seems finicky there is a kubuntu ppa for backporting 4.6 and I think 4.5 I was wondering how likely this is to be more unstable than what I have already. Right now dolphin seems to crash fairly often and the indexer stringi keeps crashing also
[22:07] <BluesKaj> open the kpackagekit > settings>edit origins>download from
[22:08] <BluesKaj> netsurf3, not sure how kde 4.6 will behave on lucid ..sorry
[22:11] <BluesKaj> NotQ, try the main server . it's in the UK where kubuntu is based
[22:12] <NotQ> how do i connect to it?
[22:14] <BluesKaj> NotQ, did you change it in the kpackagekit , then run sudo apt-get update again , after closing
[22:15] <gomiboy> NotQ: under edit origins-->updates-->release upgrade set it to "Normal releases"
[22:18] <BluesKaj> gomiboy, good point ...didn't think to look that far down
[22:18] <NotQ> ok, changed it to uk server and it is set to normal releases
[22:19] <BluesKaj> ok sudo apt-get update , then try sudo do-release-upgrade
[22:20] <NotQ> gah, still says no new release found
[22:22] <BluesKaj> NotQ, alt+f2 type  /etc/apt/sources.list ...copy and paste the text on pastebin
[22:22] <BluesKaj> !pastebin
[22:24] <NotQ> that doesnt seem to bring anything up in alt+f2 bar
[22:24] <NotQ> in konsole it says that that directory doesnt exist
[22:26] <BluesKaj>  /etc/apt/sources.list ...copy and paste that into the run command (alt+f2)
[22:26] <NotQ> thats what did
[22:27] <NotQ> thats what i did*
[22:27] <BluesKaj> and nothing ?
[22:27] <NotQ> nothing at all
[22:28] <NotQ> doesnt open anything
[22:28] <BluesKaj> ok run this in the terminal ,  sudo sed -i 's/lucid/maverick/' /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:30] <NotQ> that doesnt seem to do anything either
[22:30] <NotQ> doesnt even give me an error message
[22:30] <NotQ> just brings up a new line
[22:31] <BluesKaj> http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/   try this NotQ
[22:31] <BluesKaj> BBL gotta go for now

[23:46] <lcb> guys and gals - when you drag any window to the top edge (touching the cursor on it) you'll have a border snap zone marked. If you release the mouse button that window will stay/snap on that border . Do you now the settings option to manage the sizes of it?
[23:47] <lcb> now/KNOW
[23:59] <bomber> hello
