[00:00] i got the new one installed [00:00] congrats [00:00] it was a project but its done and operating properly now..... thx [00:01] had to pull out the video card and install the nvidia drivers [00:02] plus had to disconnect my 2 ide hard drives or the bootloader wouldnt install to the pcie drive [00:02] psyched...... gonna install the programs i like now.... thx again [00:03] lcb: it's in systemsettings [00:03] I hate that thing too [00:04] workspace behavior > screen edges | lcb [00:07] valorie: let me see what's going on... thanks [00:07] valorie: when maximizing the windows are not going to the top edge. that's why i need to see what's going on with it [00:08] oh weird [00:08] monitor settings are ok... [00:09] valorie: if i recall right, screen edges are to set actions when touching borders.. bot maybe something on there is doing this.. [00:09] bot/but [00:09] right, sorry I misread your question [00:10] valorie: nooooo maybe something there is related to this behavior, because, indeed, i changed defaults on that sometime ago [00:16] well, reinstalling whole kwin* pretty sure woudnt do anything but... just in case [00:21] you can just move ~/.kde to .kde-old [00:21] that's the equiv. of starting with a new user [00:21] then move back the stuff you know is OK [00:21] takes awhile, but works well [00:30] valorie: :) thank you. [00:31] \o/ [00:31] hehehe [00:33] did that before because of loss or messed virtual desktops. i didn't discover yet why they vanished or appeared in a different order. the problem is it happens often. i'm trying the hard way now - trying to search for the source of these problems [00:39] hey guys, i have x11vnc working, is there a way to bind it to xrdp rather than having xvnc bound to it? [00:40] lcb: valorie: I once helped a guy out with a wonky .kde by that same method, it works very well [00:40] hi everyone, im running 10.10 and want to upgrade to 11.04, when i do "sudo do-release-upgrade" it says that no new releases are found. Any ideas? [00:40] i have another question [00:40] LINKMASTER! You are alive and moving!!! [00:41] Yes I am :D [00:41] NotQ: Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [00:41] NotQ: oh I had this issue myself.. [00:41] kubuntu [00:41] in additional drivers it has the nvidia driver listed and it says its activated but not currently in use [00:41] try 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -d [00:41] NotQ: what happens if you run the software update? [00:42] Or, also, make sure that software settings are checked for all releases, rather then just for LTS or the sort [00:42] how do i put the driver in use? [00:43] linkmaster, when i do that it says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [00:43] NotQ: type in a terminal uname -a [00:44] '$ uname -a' [00:44] Linux peter-laptop 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 18:42:20 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux [00:44] thats the output [00:45] lcb: the simplist way would be for him to log into a tty session real fast [00:45] NotQ: if you run the software update, don't you have a notification of an upgrade avaiulable? [00:45] available, either [00:46] sorry, im new to linux, how do i run the update? [00:47] NotQ: switch to a tty session real fast. To do that, press and hold 'alt+ctrl+F1' and tell us what version it is. To come back, press 'alt+ctrl+F7' [00:47] NotQ: so you should do graphical, not the terminal... [00:51] NotQ: kpackagekit <- the application to manage software/packages/upgrades [00:51] I'm not sure who it was that helped me before, the key is to have x11vnc installed and xvnc installed. Stop both, and rename x11vnc to xvnc. then you can run xrdp and call x11vnc to save the sessions at reconnect. [00:53] sorry about that, ctrl+alt+f7 wasnt bringing me out [00:54] Its supposed to.. [00:54] it said version 10.10 and that a new version was available, but the upgrade aborts for some reason [00:54] NotQ: 'lsb_release -a' in the terminal [00:55] 10.10 maverick [00:56] NotQ: type this 'kpackagekit -caption "%c" %i %F' [00:56] and tell us if you have any notification of upgrade available [00:58] NotQ: sorry, type only kpackagekit [00:58] oh ok [00:58] my fault [00:58] its open [01:00] what should i change in kpackagekit? [01:00] NotQ: and tell us if you have any notification of upgrade available [01:01] one update for libcurl3-gnutls [01:01] but no distro update [01:01] ok, hold... typing a long line [01:01] ok [01:03] in the terminal type: sudo -i | then type apt-get update && apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean && apt-get clean && apt-get check && apt-get -f install && apt-get upgrade [01:03] then return here [01:03] ok, hold on [01:03] tell us if a lot of thigs changed... [01:03] * Linkmaster notes that that IS long long command [01:04] thigs=things (in typoenglish) [01:05] seems like some stuff changed [01:06] NotQ: a lot? [01:06] id say a lot ya [01:06] NotQ: do in the terminal'exit' then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:07] ok [01:07] then sudo do-release-upgrade -d BUT if not a lot of packages installed === christos is now known as tequil0018 [01:08] what i mean is if you have a substantial amount of packages installed at this point you need to reboot [01:08] hello everyone [01:08] i have a trouble with my localohost [01:08] i want to change the ip and i can;t [01:08] * lcb changed nick to *** everyone [01:08] hello tequil0018 [01:08] i edited /etc/hosts [01:08] and nothing at all [01:08] ok, i will play it safe and reboot, then it will be back and try the upgrade [01:09] one sec [01:09] NotQ: great [01:09] any idea.... [01:09] thanks in advance [01:09] :) [01:10] i want to change the ip and i can;t "" why? [01:10] changing it for static? [01:10] no [01:10] i am running 2 vms in cloud [01:10] and in my project i have my services localhost:... [01:10] ok im back, trying to upgrade now [01:11] NotQ: wait [01:11] so i want the vm1 locahost show the ip of vm2 [01:11] NotQ: sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade -d [01:11] oh ok [01:12] and vice versa [01:12] tequil0018: check what you have now by typing ifconfig [01:13] tequil0018: i'm not reproducing in my mind what/how to do what you want [01:13] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr d0:0d:3f:27:06:e5 [01:13] inet addr:10.10.10.3 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [01:13] inet6 addr: fe80::d20d:3fff:fe27:6e5/64 Scope:Link [01:13] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [01:13] RX packets:209787 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 [01:13] tequil0018: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:16] NotQ: are you running kubuntu for sure? [01:16] haha, yes [01:16] NotQ: well. did you answer yes to all updates? [01:16] NotQ: are you running gnome or/and unity also, in that system? [01:17] i think so, it only ever asked me to press enter to continue [01:17] im running kde, not sure what unity is [01:17] NotQ: is that a virtual machine or running from windows? [01:17] no [01:17] is that a computer? [01:17] this is the only OS on the computer [01:17] laptop [01:17] just kidding just kidding [01:18] ok... [01:18] thinking... [01:18] oh linux, why do you do this to me [01:18] NotQ: lets see this way. do you have synaptic installed? [01:19] yes [01:19] lcb: maybe NotQ shud just download an alternative CD and upgrade from it... [01:19] ok, gtreat. run it and run the "fix errors" option [01:20] NotQ: if you don't find it i'll open mine and tell you. it's on the second menu option, from the right [01:20] from the left, i mean [01:20] fix broken packages? [01:20] yes [01:20] it says Successfully fixed dependency problems [01:21] leumas: probably - is an option [01:21] NotQ: so you did have some probs [01:21] i dont think so [01:21] it took like one second [01:21] NotQ: now update the packages [01:22] lcb: just a candid suggestion [01:22] NotQ: i mean Reload. then Mark All Updates [01:22] and shoot it [01:22] leumas: all are welcomed :) [01:23] ok i did that, not sure if it did anything [01:24] NotQ: btw, while "fixing btroken packa... if you don't get any dialog means everything is ok. didn't happen to you [01:25] ya, no dialogue [01:25] NotQ: after "Mark All Upgrades" yout "Apply" didn't change? [01:25] yout=your [01:26] it didnt mark anything, does that mean i have all the updates? [01:26] click on "Apply" [01:26] its grey [01:26] cant click it [01:26] ok. so run away from synaptic and... [01:27] what i would do is: reboot and get to the grub menu (do you know how to do it? [01:27] the recovery menu [01:27] no i have no idea how to do that [01:28] press SHIFT right after you see the bios messages. [01:28] wait [01:28] then select something like "*recovery kernel* then you'll get a dialog with options (wait [01:29] on those options you need to run CLEAN, then DPKG thgen GRUB [01:30] i don't run that for a while, but i believe there are no new options on it. do not run failsafeX option from there because you don't have display problems (i believe) [01:30] what's the error? [01:31] sfears: can't dist upgrade for 11.04 [01:31] NotQ: PM? [01:32] sure [01:32] PM=Post Mortum? :p [01:32] thats what this comp will be soon [01:32] hehehe [01:33] NotQ: in a general sense you need to fix kubuntu desktop first [01:34] ya [01:34] thats the trick [01:35] so try the recovery console as i told you. if not solving you need to sudo dpkg-reconfigure some packages [01:36] i don't know that i've ever had good luck with dist-upgrades [01:36] i usually try and then end up installing from the livecd anyway [01:36] there are several hard ways to resolve that. one is backing up your /home /var /etc directories [01:36] btw, you should do that anyway [01:37] after having that done you could try to reconfigure kubuntu. other option, the best one, is clean install. is that a "production system"? [01:38] not really, i dont have anything important on it [01:38] i mean the clean install because it seems you have a major kubuntu prob in there [01:38] so i could do tht [01:38] backup first [01:38] ya [01:38] you know how to do that? [01:39] no [01:39] put the hard disk in the microwave and click GO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO J/K [01:39] did you do it??? [01:39] thats what i did last time - it didnt work [01:39] haha [01:39] hehehe [01:39] ok. wait [01:40] download the image then run as a live cd [01:40] then, what i do is compress those directories and move to another partition or drive [01:41] got the idea? [01:41] yep [01:41] thats probably what ill have to do then [01:41] thanks for your help guys [01:41] NotQ: when running as Live CD mode you'll have access to those directories. From the file manager you'll have an option to compress. just point and click [01:42] NotQ: i would do that if i have any problem like what you are having [01:42] ok ill have to try it [01:43] NotQ: remember you don't even have the system "oving" while trying to upgrade [01:43] "moving" [01:43] so... [01:43] somethings are baddly damaged in there [01:44] you could check the logs, but that's the very hard way of doing it because you might need to change a lot of things, depending the errors you have marked in the logs [01:45] other option is asking Linkmaster to help. he broked me two computers already [01:46] j/k. 3 [01:46] haha [01:49] NotQ: don't go yet. checking something with Mrs Google [01:50] NotQ: try this pls [01:50] sudo apt-get install bzr [01:51] then ' bzr get lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/maverick ' [01:51] then ' cd maverick/DistUpgrade ' [01:52] and ' sudo ./dist-upgrade '. tell me if any errors [01:57] NotQ: what you have might be a known bug, only affecting maverick [02:15] I'm having difficulty getting my computer to find my printer. I've tried using CUPS, and it can't even view the printer, much less connect to it. I know the IP address, since its static, and its a MG6210 I believe [02:22] Linkmaster: can you ping the ip? [02:23] Linkmaster: '$ping printer_static_ip ' [02:23] if not that's good [02:24] since you know there is a problem with that :p [02:24] NotQ: nothing new? [02:25] not yet [02:25] NotQ: did you see mt last msgs? * sudo apt-get install bzr *etc* [02:25] oh no, ill try that [02:25] do you have it? [02:25] not only that line... [02:25] want me to repeat it ya could you? sorry bout that [02:26] because what you have is a known bug when upgrading maverick to natty [02:27] NotQ: sudo apt-get install bzr | bzr get lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/maverick | cd maverick/DistUpgrade | sudo ./dist-upgrade [02:28] do those and if resolves the matter insert the coins in the slot right behind your irc client [02:29] Linkmaster: wake up bro. ping your printer and tell me [02:30] NotQ: btw, all the steps i told you to do before are ok, didn't damage anything. they are all needed anyways and anytime [03:28] Back [03:33] Forward [03:52] i have been unable to find a word matching program for linux or windows lol [03:52] does anyone know of one?> [03:53] like _at hit enter it would find hat cat etc [03:54] i found one online [03:55] ? [03:55] a Thesaurus? [03:56] ah [03:56] I see (sorry hadn't read everything yet) [03:58] and he's gone... oh well [04:30] I had to suddenly step away from my computer, but to answer lcb's question, pinging the printer was amongst the first things I thought of, and it sent/recieved them all without loss. I sent 6, 100% [04:37] Linkmaster: was the computer on fire? [04:38] SIR_Taco: Well, I saw a bright flash of white and a small mushroom cloud began to form...I figured evacuating would be the safest procedure [04:38] Linkmaster: naw, that's normal... carry on [04:38] lol [04:38] Ah, alright [04:38] I should be worried when it sits quietly and behaves normally then, correct? [04:39] absolutely [04:39] that means it's plotting something [04:39] Just making sure. When I get no problems for a span of time over an hour, I'll come get you and send dibl a message via KFN to tell him something big is about to happen [04:39] haha [04:40] You know GreyGeek? He said the best way to fix all problems is to ship Kubuntu with dibl and Snowhog VI's or something in with it [04:41] Having said that... I have seen power supply capacitors go through the power supply housing and put a massive dent in a case :) [04:41] Linkmaster: haha [04:41] That sounds really bad honestly, and I chuckled when I saw it as well [04:44] Lets just say I don't miss the tech shop and the meatheads that worked there [04:45] xDD [04:47] SIR_Taco: you happen to have an idea concerning my printer issue? [04:47] didn't catch your printer issue... [04:47] * Linkmaster goes off to copy/paste [04:47] I'm having difficulty getting my computer to find my printer. I've tried using CUPS, and it can't even view the printer, much less connect to it. I know the IP address, since its static, and its a MG6210 I believe [04:48] I can ping it and itll return lossless [04:49] what make of printer is that? [04:49] Oh shoot, I had it and now its gone [04:49] let me open it up on the IP real fast.. [04:50] Its a Canon MG6100 series [04:50] ah ok [04:51] Linkmaster: do you have drivers for it though? [04:51] What makes me so [blank] about it is that my moms windows machine can hook up to it. Its one of two things that are holding her back from switching to Linux, and I'm going to make it work eventually...but when CUPS or Printer Configuration both can't see it, I'm sort of stuck [04:53] ie. does cups have drivers for it? [04:53] SIR_Taco: I do, I tried mucking through it but it failed [04:53] Uhm...I never figured out how to use CUPS, since I've never needed it before [04:54] Linkmaster: well you still 'should' not need it now... you can't add a network printer through Kubuntu's System Settings? [04:55] I can, but I haven't been able to print or anything..let me try again though, and I'll tell you what I'm doing as I do it [04:55] ok [04:56] * Linkmaster loads up printer config [04:57] First, let me try a test page from the attempt of earlier [04:57] Linkmaster: give me two seconds, and let me reboot (ok, maybe more than 2 seconds) [04:58] brb [05:00] ok... so... trying test page [05:02] Linkmaster: ? === ryan is now known as Guest62109 [05:10] Linkmaster: is the printer a network printer (has a ethernet port on the back, and is hooked to the router?), or is it hooked through a Windows machine? === gaurav__ is now known as Guest85507 === pants is now known as Guest81427 [05:42] SIR_Taco: my mother called me away; the printer is comletely wireless. Its has a power plug in the wall, and thats it [05:43] Linkmaster: not a problem... and you said before that you could ping the printer, so there's actually a connection, yes? [05:43] Yes, definitely a connection on my router [05:44] I pulled up the printer[by typing its IP in the address bar] and I can configure it, so I know its broadcasting, and my mom printed something while I was upstairs [05:46] Linkmaster: ok. Do you get errors when trying to print to it? [05:46] I think my computer believes its wired to it [05:47] I want to clear out the entire printer thing, how do I make it so that there are no pre-configured printers anymore? [05:47] Linkmaster: that's not a bad thing really, it should behave like it's wired... do you get anything in your /var/log/cups/error_log ? [05:47] let me open that real fast.. [05:49] E [23/Jun/2011:08:05:08 -0400] Failed to update TXT record for Lexmark_T640 @ Isadora: -2 [05:49] E [23/Jun/2011:08:05:09 -0400] Failed to update TXT record for MG6120 @ Isadora: -2 [05:49] E [23/Jun/2011:08:05:09 -0400] Failed to update TXT record for mom @ Isadora: -2 [05:49] E [23/Jun/2011:23:57:53 -0400] [Job 1] File '/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc' not found [05:49] Linkmaster: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:50] hmm [05:52] anything of use there? [05:53] really wish Printer Config was working in 11.10 right now haha [05:54] Same here, else I'd use 11.10 in a heartbeat [05:56] is there no 6200 driver for the Canon printer? [05:57] Let me check, though its a 6100..let me check though. and question, which option should I use? Last time I tried I used the APPsocket thingy, and I think thats wrong [05:59] thought you said it was a 6210? [05:59] oi [06:02] I said I think, and according to the IP page its a Canon MG6100 series [06:04] Linkmaster: and through the printer manager, you've found the printer on the network, and selected the driver? [06:04] Uhm, no.. [06:05] I know the IP address because its what the printer itself was set to [06:07] ok, and you put that in as printer location? [06:08] well, concerning adding a new printer, I don't know which option to select, be it the AppSocket/HP JetDirect, the ipp, the LPD/LPR one, I know its not Windows hosted, and then it says 'other' [06:09] Linkmaster: there's not a "network" one? [06:09] what version of kubuntu? [06:09] 11.04, rolled up from 10.10 === erik333__ is now known as erik333 [06:11] I'm hopefully going to be doing this from 10.04 as well, which I hope I will be able to muddle through myself if I can figure this out [06:14] well... you can go through the CUPS web interface... but that's a huge pain in the butt and I haven't done that in years [06:15] CUPS doesn't see the printer [06:16] Linkmaster: that's very odd [06:16] which is why I'm pulling out my hair over this [06:17] I really seem to remember there being a "network" printer option, in the printer config... [06:18] I have the option for 'new printer' and 'new printer class' when I click on 'new printer' I got the list I gave you earlier [06:19] do you have "samba-common" and "smb-client" installed by chance? [06:19] sorry "smbclient" [06:20] Not that I know of [06:21] well try in a terminal "sudo apt-get install samba-common smbclient" [06:22] suppose you could just do "sudo apt-get install samba" [06:24] SIR_Taco: its installing [06:26] I'm sure the printer has all the Windows protocols in it, and none of the Unix/Linux ones... which hopefully Samba will solve [06:27] hopefully, its done now, complaining about something in the sources list though I think I can fix it later [06:28] not sure if you'd have to restart KDE or not... haven't done it this way [06:28] Should I just to be on the safe side? [06:31] I'd say so, yea [06:32] might best restart the computer, since it's network related... [06:33] Oh fun, I hate restaring my computer... [06:34] Just can't think of a way to not restart and have samba work properly... I mean it might work now, but it can be iffy [06:35] I've got some stuff running that can't really be halted.. [06:35] Linkmaster: ok... well then hold on [06:36] are they over the network? [06:36] We can wait till tomorrow when I'm more cognitive, and everything is done [06:37] ok [06:37] main thing is, that you should now have a network option in Printer Config... with any luck [06:38] which I don't...I looked [06:38] you don't... YET.... don't be so negative lol [06:40] * Linkmaster is barely able to string three words together, not to mention actually think [06:40] I know... it's late here too [06:40] or maybe I should say early [06:41] nearly 2am here [06:41] same [06:41] we both should hit the hay then [06:42] I would if someone would quit sending me text messages... argh [06:46] she's not getting the "need to go to bed, leave me alone" hints... have to be a little more direct lol [06:49] ah, there we go... much better [06:49] Well, Linkmaster, I'm off to bed, let me know how the printer journey goes next time I run into you [06:50] night SIR_Taco [06:50] and thanks [06:50] night [06:50] np [07:30] Hello all [07:31] can you help me?
