[00:00] hi all === sayakb is now known as sayakb_away [00:01] i need help setting a network printer in win 7. [00:03] i have samba and i can see other shared folders in win 7 but not hp laserjet printer [00:03] am i missing an app to make this work? [00:06] ray_: you need to share that printer in your win 7 machine. then System Settings | Hardware | Printer Configuration. Then "New Printer" [00:06] it is shared...Ubuntu 11.04 sees it but not kubuntu [00:07] ray_: who or what? [00:08] printer is connected to win 7 box and shared. Ubuntu has no problem. Kubuntu can not see it [00:09] ray_: after New Printer, select "Windows Printer via Samba" or the one listed that matches yours, in case it shows up... [00:09] tried all that but nfg [00:10] ray_: samba-client is installed? not sure if you need it, but.. [00:10] checked network...win 7 shares available except for printer. HP Laserjet printer is shared and Ubuntu can access it [00:11] ray_: on the *Samba* config details enter the workgroup - to see if it shows up [00:11] just the workgroup [00:11] kubuntu cannot see the f printer [00:11] workgroup the same for my network [00:11] samba is installed [00:12] out of f ideas, for now [00:12] already edit the smb.conf [00:13] this is my first time with Kubuntu... [00:14] last thought, try localhost:631 and see if there is any setting of test . [00:14] i like it but Ubuntu seems to be a lot easier to deal with [00:18] ray_: the smb.conf has got nothing to do w/ it if the printer is shared from a Windows machine [00:19] the smb.conf is needed if you want to share something from the *buntu machine [00:20] i only configured the smb.conf to match the workgroup name [00:21] that won't have any effect unless you have a Samba _server_ running on *buntu [00:22] kubuntu can access all my win shares except for printer. printer is missing! [00:22] im dual booting ubuntu and kubuntu [00:23] on my laptop [00:23] connecting to my window 7 network wirelessly [00:24] brb [00:34] lcb: thanks ;) are you also portuguese?

[02:44] my printer is connected to win 7 box [02:45] what printer do you have [02:45] samba installed and workgroup configured [02:45] hp laserjet 2100 [02:46] i can see my network shares but the printer. Im running kubuntu from my laptop connecting wirelessly. [02:47] ray51: do you hae drivers installed for the printer [02:47] have* [02:47] im dual booting ubuntu and kubuntu on the same laptop. [02:47] yes [02:48] when running ubuntu 11.04, i can print from my network printer. [02:49] ray51: if you go to http://hplipopensource.com/ you can get the driver for kubuntu and use hp-setup to get it to work wirelessly [02:51] which distro...NO kubuntu only ubuntu [02:53] will this work? [02:53] the ubuntu one will work for kubuntu and the other buntus [02:53] ok i give it a try [02:54] ray51: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3936016&postcount=5 [03:09] still not working... [03:10] well it was worth a try sorry i could not help you solve your problem [03:11] Just wanted you guys to know, i'm lovin muon. good choice [03:11] i didn't have any problems installing the printer in Ubuntu. Cant figure it out in Kubuntu.... [03:12] [03:54:23] ray51: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3936016&postcount=5 [03:12] i tried it also ... nfg [03:13] better than kpackagekit [03:18] hooked up my printer via usb to my laptop and installed instantly. Why not through my network? [03:23] do i need to create a net bios name for kubuntu? [03:58] Hey guys! [03:58] Got a couple questions.

[04:43] Let me guess. Add-on compatibility? [04:44] Yep :l [04:44] Since 99% of add-ons work in FF3, I'm going to guess at that one [04:45] There's an option to remove the compatibility check in FF5. [04:45] Let me find it. [04:45] Wouldn't that cause all sorts of hell to break loose? [04:45] * Linkmaster of course wouldn't mind trying it though [04:46] Apparently not. I've used it before. [04:47] Hmm..well, I found the cnet download. Put the .tar.bz2 file into my ~/kde4/src folder :D [04:47] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ [04:48] I've got a couple of add-ons that worked with FF2 on FF5, thanks to that. [04:54] Let me know if it helps. [04:54] let me try that before I go off on my tangent [04:55] xD [04:55] Well, I've gotta close my screen.

Is there a config file somewhere that I can change? [09:59] Apple_Cat: sure you can do that.

[22:19] SIR_Taco: he went hunting and wrung googles daughter till she spilled her secrets. found the austrailian secrets [22:19] Trying to insall Burg on Kubuntu. [22:19] Yes I am! The printer spat fire and my computer screamed like the demons, so I know all is well! :D [22:19] is working? :o [22:20] Nope. [22:20] Done it before on Ubuntu, but not here. [22:21] ZweiDrei: have you tried going through: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/install-and-configure-burg-in-ubuntu.html [22:21] matter of fact i'm trying to find now two drivers, one for an olivetti d-color mf201 and another for canon pixma mp500 [22:21] this olivetti d-color is the tricky one [22:21] lcb: try the austrailian secrets...they seem to know [22:22] Linkmaster: i looked already - no luck :/ [22:22] why are the Australians keeping it a secrect? lol [22:22] secret event [22:22] forget it... can't type today it seems lol [22:22] SIR_Taco: that's where i found his drivers, all way to australia [22:22] SIR_Taco: the austrailians aren't sharing with the americans...I think its because the american-canon companies have a secret deal with mircosoggy [22:23] aaah... interesting [22:23] I'm just going to leave this here......www.rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_os.shtml [22:23] Linkmaster: so the printer works now? no problems? [22:23] Linkmaster: is it safe to click on it? :o [22:24] Linkmaster: sisnce [22:24] oops [22:24] SIR_Taco: its perfectly good :D [22:24] lcb: Only if you backed up /home in the past few hours... [22:24] since you burned my computers i don't believe you, Linkmaster [22:24] Linkmaster: excellent, good to hear. Was I on the right track atleast? or way off? haha [22:24] @Sir_Taco: No haven't gone to that page before. [22:24] Thanks. [22:25] SIR_Taco: you sort of were. lcb went through the same troubleshooting you did, and I went along to make sure I wasn't being stupid, and then he wrung googles daughter for her secrets [22:25] I only hope it works on Kubuntu. [22:25] lcb: you know you enjoyed it :D [22:26] ZweiDrei: no problem. The base system for Kubuntu and Ubuntu (and any other *buntu) is more-or-less the same.... a boot manager is as basic as it gets, should work fine for Kubuntu as well [22:26] Linkmaster: appropriate drivers are most likely a solution for printer issues [22:26] Usually, unless the company is shady [22:26] Thanks/ [22:27] I just started using Kubuntu. [22:27] I searched high and low through canon trying to find a driver.. [22:27] ZweiDrei: well welcome then :) [22:27] yoooopiiiii another future happy user [22:27] ZweiDrei: yes, welcome :D [22:28] Linkmaster: I've had my share of printer woes in the past... I know what you mean. Now I research a bit before I buy any printer. My CLP-310 is awesome :) [22:28] that's a good one [22:29] only paid $120 CDN.... it was a steal [22:29] wow [22:29] SIR_Taco: I was doing it more for my mom. I've been slowly introducing her to Linux, talking about it, and shes starting to show a little interest. Her only setbacks that she knew about was her Creative Memories photo manager thingys. She forgot about her printer, but I solved that one xD [22:30] Linkmaster: excellent [22:31] Yes, I'm happy about it. And if I can get the switch through, I'm never going to have to worry about her wasting 1000's of dollars a year [22:31] Linkmaster: good point [22:32] I'm a thrifty person. Linux works better then MS in 90% or more cases, and its free compared to the 200-500 dollar tag MS hands you [22:32] ZweiDrei: Just keep in mind that you can use any software from Ubuntu with Kubuntu.... if it's GUI related, you might be installing programs you'll use rarely if at all, but it has little to no effect on your system (unless you have a small hard-drive I guess) [22:33] Linux offers FOSS that others actively maintain and develop...MS consists largely of proprietary things. Lets say that we need word processing. LO gives us that free, MSoffice costs another 300 dollars. Now, MS has cost us 800. [22:34] Linux has NO viruses[viri?]. MS has upwards of 3BILLION. Good AVware for MS costs a good 400 dollars. Just download Clam for Linux if your contacting a windows server/etc. [22:34] Linkmaster: I agree completely, compatibiility is the only issue really [22:34] ZweiDrei: ... but avoind mixing gnome and unity with kubuntu. could cause some problems [22:34] lcb: that's a good point === yofel_ is now known as yofel [22:35] Yeah, since Ubuntu's jump to Unity, compatability is less[though the jump to Unity was a brilliant choice IMO] [22:35] Linkmaster: having said that, compatibility between MS Office versions in general is an issue [22:36] But thats because MS upgrades their versions in such a way to FORCE users to upgrade [22:36] Thats one of the biggest reasons Vista was such a fiasco; not only did they release crappy software, but they made it so the only way you could use up-to-date software was by buying it [22:37] From a developer standpoint, I can see thier resoning for dropping support for older formats.... but it's just not practical [22:37] And since the core of Vista and 7 is drastically different from XP and previous versions, there was really no option [22:38] The least they can do is like the *buntus. absolutely brilliant to release the LTS versions [22:38] XP would be an example of that. Its their studiest software, and they know that. But they are dropping support for it in a very short time, I think they already have actually [22:39] Okay, I'm gonna try it out now. [22:39] Good luck :D [22:39] I'm going to [/rant], its probably not a good thing to keep going [22:39] Linkmaster: Windows 7 is actually not too shabby (yea, yea I know) [22:40] Oh I will never say Windows7 is bad, because its not [22:40] They basically got XP and put it through cosmetic surgery [22:40] where do i install dolphin services in kubuntu? [22:41] I need to restart, brb [22:44] Gallus: Dolphin->Settings->Configure Dolphin->Services (->) Download New Services (if needed) [22:46] lcb i was looking for the folder === dark is now known as ZweiDrei [22:47] back [22:48] seems home folder encryption just broke on that 11.10 update... oops [22:48] welcome back [22:48] hi all [22:48] hi excognac [22:49] how is that possible that there are files in my desktop folder but not displayed on my desktop? [22:50] They aren't exactly the same thing..I don't know the best way to explain it [22:52] excognac: the 'Folder View' widget show a folder.... doesn't have to be the Desktop folder... could show any folder [22:52] Gallus: look for it in .kde./share/apps/servicemenu* [22:52] I think by default it's set to your "home" folder, if you unlock the widgets, click the wrench on the side of the space, you can switch it to desktop folder [22:53] thanks a lot [22:54] excognac: you're welcome [23:01] Gallus: found it? [23:01] yep lcb thanks [23:01] good [23:02] Gallus: you want to remove some leftovers, isn't? [23:02] there are indeed some services not installing correctly [23:04] lcb: SIR_Taco: you should look at this: www.artlung.com/smorgasborg/C_R_Y_P_T_O_N_O_M_I_C_O_N.shtml [23:05] Linkmaster: that looks suspitious. let me look at it from my MS-DOS machine [23:06] suspicious too [23:06] Its just an essay :P [23:06] it looks long also... and I'm feeling lazy... but I will look at it lol [23:06] * Linkmaster cackles evilly [23:07] Linkmaster: i started reading that. can i continue it when i'll go to the bed? [23:07] Linkmaster: or ...if you make it short :p [23:07] I never said when you should read, or even if. I just put it out there to be seen [23:08] Linkmaster: i know you want all happy Kubuntusers for you and make us busy with the eyes somewhere [23:08] >:D [23:08] :p [23:09] my eyes are better suited for looking at other things.... :P [23:09] bookmarked for better reading [23:09] I only answer is I know, otherwise I keep very silent and wait for someone smarter to answer so I can learn something knew [23:10] Linkmaster: my thought is that with enough information I can solve any problem.... sometimes that backfires though haha [23:11] Well, I currently don't have have enough knowledge; I can get all the information in the world, but if I don't know, I don't know :P [23:12] Linkmaster: it comes in time... and helping someone through a problem you don't know about, well help you down the line === johan__ is now known as jcgeuze [23:12] SIR_Taco: tell me about it... right before i got here i almost had an accident, for the same reason; "my eyes are better suited for looking at other things.". on one side of the road very good looking specimens. on the other side some not so good ones. i almost went over an elderly couple :( [23:12] I sometimes try to do that, and it often helps you smarter people too [23:13] * Linkmaster chuckles [23:13] lcb: lol, well you need to be selective :P [23:13] Linkmaster: many heads are better than one [23:14] Yes, and I can turn that into another rant but I won't [23:14] lcb: I had the luck of training first-aid to life guards this morning.... good day ;) [23:15] SIR_Taco: WOW. did you went over the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation lesson already??? [23:15] most ppl pass out during that session [23:15] lcb: lol, no I behaved [23:15] oops, this is kubuntu [23:16] pass out, meaning, passing out to another dimension [23:17] haha [23:17] hehehe [23:20] and the conversation is dead lol [23:20] seems we have a case for a bug report against the nVidia driver === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [23:22] though it wouldn't hurt to know whether similar behaviour exists w/ the fglrx or one of the open source drivers [23:22] szal: what's wrong with the nVidia driver? [23:24] in my case, it's impossible to resize Konsole from full-screen to not maximized w/ the widget or resize a non-maximized Konsole w/ the mouse -> result: everything freezes, mouse pointer comes back to life after a short while, disk activity (e.g. cronjobs) continues, Internet connection stays alive (radio stream in Audacious continued to play) [23:24] another user reports similar behaviour for gnome-terminal [23:25] szal: an that's with the nVidia Proprietary drivers? not the Nouveau drivers? [23:25] SIR_Taco: yes [23:26] szal: with Kubuntu 11.04? [23:26] yes [23:26] Linux zalle 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:27] Anyone have nVidia drivers installed on 11.04? [23:27] SIR_Taco: and w/ KDE 4.6.4 from Kubuntu PPA [23:27] szal: did you try ALT+F3 while in full screen? [23:27] lcb: huh? [23:28] lcb: I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 while the thing was frozen, but didn't switch away from X [23:28] szal: is it real full screen or fully open? [23:28] lcb: covering the whole screen sans the panel [23:28] i.e. maximized [23:28] lcb: sounds like it's locking up when in full-screen/maximized [23:28] szal: konsole or tty? i got confused now [23:28] lcb: Konsole [23:28] the KDE terminal emulator [23:29] so.. if is a full screen you could get the menu tu disable it with ALT+F3 [23:29] tu/to [23:29] http://www.privatepaste.com/630b52b7ff <- last entry from Xorg.0.log [23:30] szal: when's the last time you did an update? [23:30] lcb: I didn't hide the menu bar, if you mean that [23:31] szal: on konsole, clicking on "Menu" (very top left) then Advanced | Full Screen [23:32] lcb: nah, just maximize (2nd widget from right) [23:32] to undo it, just hit ALT+F3. but looks like you get different way of doing it [23:32] yeap [23:32] nothing else [23:32] then un-maximize, results in freeze here [23:32] so you mean full extend of the window ;) [23:33] lcb: szal is getting errors from the nvidia driver.... [23:33] extent.. [23:33] SIR_Taco: got it. just trying to figure out how to unlock that situation [23:34] ok [23:34] hi [23:35] hi bt [23:35] lcb: btw, there is no such thing as "Advanced" in the Konsole menu [23:35] one room in portuguese,please,........ [23:35] do u know?? [23:35] lcb: what you mean is the window behaviour & has nothing to do w/ Konsole in itself [23:35] szal: i have it. no fancy addons or whatever installed [23:35] !pt | bt [23:36] bt: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:37] thanks [23:37] szal: right next to "On All Desktops" small circle [23:37] lcb: as I said, that's the window menu, not the Konsole menu [23:37] szal: left-clicking the icon in the top right corner of the window and/or alt-f3, should show the menu that lcb is talking about [23:37] in other words, functions from the window manager to apply to the current window [23:37] SIR_Taco: I figured that out in the meantime ;) [23:38] ok haha [23:38] szal: " szal: on konsole, clicking on "Menu" (very top left) then Advanced | Full Screen" Not Konsole Menu [23:39] lcb: got that, anyhoo, that's not what I was talking about [23:39] the "menu" is on all open windows [23:40] pas the mouse over it and you get the name of it :p [23:40] pas/pass [23:40] Just going to through this out there....: "Managing programmers is like herding cats" [23:40] lcb: honestly didn't know that the "tool tip" was 'menu'... was wondering what you were talking about haha [23:41] SIR_Taco: hey... i call the name that is on it hehehe [23:42] lcb: unless you have 'tips' turned off lol [23:42] i know that name misleads [23:42] probably. i'll check that later [23:43] Hello there :] [23:43] hello galat [23:43] and this: "There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies." [23:43] how are you guys doing tonight? [23:43] hi galat [23:44] galat: not so good. then, you arrived :p [23:44] ;p [23:44] Linkmaster: I really want to argue that... but I can't lol [23:44] galat: lcb will refuse to admit that its because I'm here to make everything better [23:44] :D [23:45] Its true and you know it [23:45] haha [23:45] I left one in the #kubuntu-devel channel that they will probably drop a +b on me for xD [23:45] Linkmaster: I would gladly receive some... make-things-better-part from just anyone :D [23:46] Is your computer on fire? [23:46] Linkmaster is showing his modesty ;) [23:46] Nope... err, not yet, at least. [23:47] lol [23:47] Well, when it bursts into flames you'll be fine [23:47] galat: so keep talking with Linkmaster [23:47] :D [23:47] you'll smell the smoke, first [23:47] just turn all your overclocking settings in the BIOS to maximum... that should set the thing on fire [23:48] oh... isn't that the bios noise feature? [23:48] And make sure you run as much as possible right afterwards....or install Windows. That would work too [23:48] SIR_Taco: the problem doesn't exist w/ Kubuntu Natty 32bit and nVidia 173 on my other machine [23:49] lcd I meant no offence [23:49] lcb, I meant. [23:49] szal: do you have "nvidia-current" installed? [23:49] SIR_Taco: yes [23:49] and it's 173? [23:49] galat: i know. we like to kidd around a bit here. too serious makes us less helpful [23:49] SIR_Taco: no, it's 270 [23:50] Actually guys, I try to figure out one thingy in my newly installed kubuntu. [23:50] SIR_Taco: the 173 is legacy for GeForce FX only [23:50] * Linkmaster notes that this is why he tries to catch the computers on fire....makes life interesting [23:50] Linkmaster: makes my life hell :P [23:50] szal: ah, ok, so you have an FX card? [23:51] * galat lends a candle to Linkmaster ... here, help yourself :D [23:51] Linkmaster: you want to waste some money? insert a 20 $ bill in your cd tray and hit play :p [23:51] If I have to go to structure fire tonight, I'm blaming you all lol [23:51] Linkmaster: better: Rewind [23:52] SIR_Taco: you're mixing stuff up.. I have an FX 5900XT in my other machine running Kubuntu Natty 32bit, here I have a GTX240 and am running Kubuntu Natty 64bit [23:52] <-- Linkmaster (~quassel@pool-72-66-222-199.ronkva.east.verizon.net) has quit (No Ping reply in 180 seconds.) [23:53] Linkmaster: probably you did /ignore Ping [23:54] szal: ok, but which isn't working... the GTX240 isn't working? [23:54] SIR_Taco: and the aforementioned freeze is happening on this machine, while the other machine doesn't exhibit any such problem [23:54] No, I got careless with the candle galat lent me [23:54] SIR_Taco: yes [23:54] Linkmaster: that was a nice move. just accept it [23:54] * galat lends another one... ups, curtain caught fire ;] [23:54] I loved it :D [23:54] szal: when's the last time you upgraded the system though? [23:54] SIR_Taco: yesterday or so [23:55] * Linkmaster subtly starts to make galat's fan run faster [23:55] szal: ok, so you did a "sudo apt-get update" and a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? [23:55] Linkmaster: fun club? [23:55] SIR_Taco: (1) I use aptitude, (2) why dist-upgrade? [23:55] perhapsss... [23:55] Linkmaster: mind a techie question? [23:56] galat: shoot, I might be able to answer [23:56] i second that [23:56] Linkmaster: Cause it's not something I am able to google ;/ [23:56] galat: strengthen your google-fu you must ;) [23:56] lcb: you might have to wrangle googles daughter if thats the case [23:56] lol [23:57] But whats the question? [23:57] I am running kubuntu 64-bit, and I'm sitting on KDE 4.4 [23:57] szal: this will explain the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/whats-the-difference-between-apt-get-upgrade-and-apt-get-dist-upgrade-165998/ [23:57] Mhm? [23:57] i was expecting that Linkmaster. you are starting being predictable [23:57] SIR_Taco: I know what the difference is, the question is, why would you recommend running dist-upgrade? [23:57] lcb: maybe thats the ploy [23:58] szal: because I use it myself I suppose [23:58] galat: kb 64 .. kde 4.4.. [23:58] Linkmaster: I just have this strange condition in my KDE - when I close any app, it closes it's window, then restores for a split second and shuts down completely :] [23:59] strange [23:59] Ive seen that before [23:59] looks like it comes up again and takes a last breath [23:59] Quite possibly [23:59] Yeah, for a blink only.
