[00:06] <Linkmaster> I'm feeling fairly good about myself with what I did, just by troubleshooting, and double-checking what I thought to do. It not only proved that Linux is an extremely useful operating system that doesn't take long to work the hoops if you try, it also shows that an exwindows-fanboi can, and will, learn how to use Linux :D
[00:07] <sione> hello
[00:07] <Linkmaster> sione: hello
[00:10] <sione> I pinned Konsole from the menubar to the panel, I modified the icon of Konsole on the panel - I thought it just was a shortcut - by adding --enable-transparency to the "command"... then it didn't work and the icon disappeared (it was a black terminal now it is a white paper)
[00:10] <sione> I removed it, and Konsole disappeared from the menubar, how to readd it ?
[00:11] <Linkmaster> can you still invoke konsole via "alt+F2 -> konsole"?
[00:11] <sione> yes, but there is no icon (black terminal) anymore
[00:12] <sione> I see the little icon jumping while it loads
[00:12] <Linkmaster> Thats fine, it means we still have it in your system which is good
[00:12] <sione> and it is not a black terminal
[00:12] <Linkmaster> Okay, let me find the konsole run command real fast
[00:12] <Linkmaster> Wait, its not a black terminal? What comes up?
[00:13] <Linkmaster> Wait, nevermind, I know what you mean. The little white page is whats bouncing, correct?
[00:13] <sione> correct
[00:13] <sione> its a blank thing
[00:14] <sione> if I open chromium I see the chromium icon jumping, but konsole now is blank, and it disappeared from the menubar... just by modified the app lol
[00:15] <Linkmaster> sione: I think I know how to get konsole back in your menubar
[00:15] <sione> Linkmaster: tell me please
[00:15] <Linkmaster> First, right-click on the Kmenu, and click 'edit applications'
[00:16] <Linkmaster> after that,click on 'system' when it loads
[00:16] <Linkmaster> On the application list
[00:16] <sione> yup
[00:16] <Linkmaster> Once its highlighted, on the top click "new item"
[00:17] <Linkmaster> name it konsole
[00:17] <Linkmaster> or terminal, or whatever you want
[00:17] <Linkmaster> Once its named, highlight it, and on the 'general' tab, where it says 'command' click the little option that lets you browse
[00:18] <Linkmaster> actually no, close the box, and type in /usr/bin/konsole
[00:18] <Linkmaster> So that this ^^ is directly in the line, sorry about the backtrack there
[00:19] <Linkmaster> once that is in place, click on the square box right above that line to choose a picture
[00:19] <Linkmaster> scroll down to find one you either like, or until you find the 'terminal' option
[00:20] <Linkmaster> Once you've done all that, hit 'save' let it update it, and tell me if it worked
[00:21] <sione> there is a way to reload the default menubar ?
[00:22] <Linkmaster> Your menubar is shot too?
[00:22] <Linkmaster> I remember at one point...but did what I tell you work?
[00:22] <sione> I dont see where to change th picture
[00:23] <sione> above the "command" line ?
[00:23] <Linkmaster> are you still on the kmenu application edit thingy?
[00:23] <sione> yes
[00:23] <Linkmaster> okay
[00:23] <Linkmaster> and you've done everything else, correct?
[00:23] <sione> yes, just need a picture
[00:23] <Linkmaster> Okay
[00:23] <Linkmaster> Make sure your in the 'general' tab
[00:24] <sione> yes
[00:24] <Linkmaster> On that same context plane, there will be a square, around 1"x1" that is blank. Click on that square
[00:24] <sione> oh lol
[00:24] <Linkmaster> It will be along the right, above the 'comment' line, and beside the 'description' line
[00:24] <sione> thanks... it was invisible
[00:24] <Linkmaster> You got it, good. Now, pick a picture you like, or type in 'terminal' and hopefully it'll be in there
[00:25] <Linkmaster> Yeah, its pretty sneak with certain themes
[00:25] <sione> thanks man
[00:26] <Linkmaster> Does it work now?
[00:26] <sione> perfectly
[00:26] <Linkmaster> Good :D
[00:28] <sione> I'm not used to kde yet, I am use to no GUI at all lol, its like a labyrinth for me
[00:28] <sione> kde is like*
[00:53] <amnite> quic question hot do i change the bg for logon on screen in natty?
[00:54] <amnite> hullo?
[00:56] <OerHeks> type in your KDE menu 'start' and you will find a manager for splash screens
[01:00] <Linkmaster> sione: trust me, it an amazing desktop environment
[01:04] <BloodyRain2k> hi, I managed to wreck my Kubuntu again and was wondering if it's possible to reinstall it without having it overwrite my userprofile of the wrecked installation, it's an older version though, 10.10 going by my only dvd and the fact I never updated. Is that possible?
[01:05] <Linkmaster> BloodyRain2k: how did you 'wreck' it? We might be able to fix it
[01:07] <BloodyRain2k> I partially doubt it but surprise me, what I did last was having the great idea of updating things with the Synaptic (I think) Package Manager, well that install thing, so I selected all packages that were marked upgradeable, were around 272, some failed, most went fine and it wanted to restart, so I did
[01:07] <Linkmaster> What is going wrong?
[01:08] <BloodyRain2k> now I get only error lines when I try to boot with second timecodes in [] like [64.6] and some ata.xx error
[01:08] <Linkmaster> Did you upgrade a kernel?
[01:08] <BloodyRain2k> can't really remember, well I got that for the recovery console too so I figured it was wrecked. I guess I accidently did that too, as I suddenly had a new one for launching, both were giving these errors though
[01:09] <BloodyRain2k> if you want me to write down some errors give me a min, then I'll boot it up again
[01:09] <Linkmaster> Okay, you did have a kernel upgrade. are you using a seperate computer, or dual booting?
[01:10] <Linkmaster> Ah, I assume dual-booting then. Yes, please write the errors as you see them, then go to pastebin.com and type it in there
[01:11] <BloodyRain2k> nah, seperate pc, but the one that has it is dual booting anyways
[01:11] <BloodyRain2k> ok gimme a few min
[01:18] <BloodyRain2k> http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/7659/s5003883z.jpg ok here it is
[01:19] <BloodyRain2k> way easier and more accurate than typing it myself
[01:19] <Linkmaster> makes sense, let me load it up real fast
[01:20] <BloodyRain2k> it shows these lines going till around 500 to 600 sec, then my usual glitched screen (driver problem) comes which normally indicates its loading the GUI, Bluetooth turns on too, hdd runs for a short time longer, then nothing anymore
[01:22] <Linkmaster> So it spams those lines for a long time?
[01:23] <BloodyRain2k> yup, sometimes it starts at 64 sec, onetime it started at 500+
[01:23] <Linkmaster> I'm guessing you can't get to KDM, and neither the newer or older kernel 'recovery' modes worked?
[01:23] <BloodyRain2k> I thought it could fix itself if I let it run for some time a few times but this time not : (
[01:24] <BloodyRain2k> nope, I can't get into nothing, which is why I considered it wrecked, again
[01:24] <BloodyRain2k> that was the reason if linux can reinstall but still keep userprofiles like windows can sometimes
[01:25] <Linkmaster> Alright, so what are you trying to save?
[01:25] <BloodyRain2k> not that much, mostly the work of setting everything to my liking again
[01:25] <Linkmaster> okay, most of that will be in .kde
[01:26] <Linkmaster> what you'll need to do is grab a LiveCD and whatever you use to back up your stuff. To make life easy, just back up /home
[01:26] <BloodyRain2k> nice that my install cd is both, live and install, so for backing up i guess you mean just a place for it like an usb stick? or do I need to get some application for that first?
[01:27] <Linkmaster> Once its backed up, reinstall it, and then from your backup, move /home and overwrite the current /home. Once thats done, restart to ensure all changes work fine
[01:27] <Linkmaster> You can use a USB stick, external harddrive, whatever you want
[01:27] <Linkmaster> Use Dolphin thats on the LiveCD
[01:28] <BloodyRain2k> mhm, if i wanna back up my installed applications, will that be much harder?
[01:29] <Linkmaster> such as what?
[01:29] <Linkmaster> Though yes technically it will be. Some would be involved by hunting through the system folders, which isn't that hard, but from a new installation you may/may not have the required dependencies, so its better to just re-install them
[01:30] <BloodyRain2k> mhm i guess, isn't that hard with synaptic
[01:30] <BloodyRain2k> ok thanks, gonna do that :3 ill report back if it worked or i got stuck somewhere
[01:30] <Linkmaster> Preferably the first!
[03:59] <greenKremling> can anyone help me? i have 5.1 surround and i'm trying to change the channels (front, rear, subwoofer...). i cannot seem to find these settings. i just get a general 5.1 volume control but beyond that i cannot configure anything else.

[04:56] <C_Smith_> hey, how can I check my GPU's Memory?
[04:57] <Linkmaster> You can load up the system module, which shows all the processes running
[04:57] <Linkmaster> 'kmenu -> applications -> system -> system monitor'
[04:57] <Linkmaster> C_Smith_: ^
[04:57] <C_Smith_> ok, thanks
[05:00] <C_Smith_> I'm not seeing my Gfx card (GPU)'s memory on there, but I'm seeing my CPU usage which is quite nice.
[05:00] <Linkmaster> Hm.....i have no clue then, I have onboard graphics D':
[05:01] <C_Smith_> I
[05:01] <C_Smith_> have a Intel Integrated, so would that affect the memory findings in the command "lshw"?
[05:02] <Linkmaster> I dunno
[05:02] <Linkmaster> I don't think so
[05:02] <Linkmaster> But thats just me thinking
[05:03] <C_Smith_> well, tbh, I have no clue what part of "display" I would look for the memory at, my guess is this "resources: irq:44 memory:d0000000-d03fffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff ioport:5110(size=8)'
[05:03] <Linkmaster> put it in a pastebin, and send the link. I'll take a look at it once my file is done compressing
[05:04] <C_Smith_> k
[05:06] <C_Smith_> here's the pastebin of my lshw http://paste.ubuntu.com/633414/
[05:08]  * Linkmaster 's file is still compressing
[05:10] <C_Smith_> just take your time, no rush.
[05:16] <C_Smith_> hey, in Amorok, how can I create a Smart Playlist?
[05:25] <IAmError> Is there a way to install the software centre from Ubuntu, onto Kubuntu?
[05:27] <C_Smith_> I don't believe so, but I'll let someone a little more experienced answer that.
[05:38] <frogonwheels> IAmError: really the only difference between 'ubuntu' and 'kubuntu' is that it defaults to kde rather than gnome...
[05:39] <frogonwheels> IAmError: what's the problem with the Software Management  in the system settings?  which bit are you after?
[05:39] <C_Smith_> Linkmaster, is that file still compressing?
[05:39] <frogonwheels> IAmError: I tend to be a fan of aptitude myself, but that's personal preference :)
[05:39] <Linkmaster> It just finished
[05:40] <C_Smith_> cool, big file?
[05:41] <Linkmaster> Eh....I'm not a hardware techie :/
[05:43] <C_Smith_> hmmmm, is there anywhere I can go to find this out?
[05:44] <C_Smith_> or should I just default the setting to "512"?
[05:51] <C_Smith_> so, it looks like my GFX card (an intel GMA4500MHD) relies on storage from elsewhere, so I'll just put the setting to default.
[07:47] <p896gbm> hey folks, where are the program shortcuts in kde?
[07:47] <p896gbm> the .desktop files wh
[07:47] <p896gbm> which go in my 'start menu' or whatever it's called
[07:48] <yofel> the .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications/ and ~/.local/share/applications/

[12:35] <raul_> Hi everyone, I have troubles with apt and aptitude I did so many nasty changes so I decided to reinstall from 0, I removed aptitude but apt stills unremoved I trided dpkg --purge and dpkg --remove but it complains about dependencies, anyway I tried to reinstall it after downloading de dpkg package and doing sudo dpkg -i apt.... but it does not solved my problem whichs was "E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/ did not start correctly"
[12:36] <raul_> Any tip in how to remove all the apt stuff and reinstall it will be really apreciated, thanks in advance
[12:37] <frogonwheels> raul_: just remember apt stuff is your package download management!
[12:38] <frogonwheels> raul_: so if you're gonna try reinstalling it all, you better have the .deb packages lying about.
[12:38] <frogonwheels> (they'll be in you apt cache to start with)
[12:39] <raul_> frogonwheels: I have the apt.deb package already I tried to install it does not worked out
[12:40] <dator> Can somebody help me to put in autostart?

[13:31] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[13:34] <vlad___> hi
[13:49] <neurochrome> hey folks, i'm a new convert to kde4(.6) and have to say it is running very well on my latest machine, so kudos to the devs for that... one question though, I have the 'search box' on the panel, and it does nothing... is there something I'm missing here?  enter does nothing, and nothing is searched for... what am *I* doing wrong? ;)
[13:49] <Muhammad-Tahir> hi
[13:52] <BluesKaj> neurochrome, that search is for particular apps installed on the system , use nepomuk for system file searches
[13:53] <Muhammad-Tahir> BluesKaj i m on Lubuntu but i cant hear the voice it simply goes off :(
[13:53] <neurochrome> BluesKaj, I thought this was nepomuk?  It doesn't even find apps to be fair though.  I could quite easily search apps using alt+f2 if I know the names
[13:56] <BluesKaj> yes neurochrome , the run command ( alt+F2 or right click on the desktop ) is for file paths etc..check in system settings>startup&shutdown>service mnager to check the runnining daemons
[13:57] <BluesKaj> Muhammad-Tahir, do you meanthat there's no audio or sound ?
[13:58] <Muhammad-Tahir> no
[13:58] <Muhammad-Tahir> there is but i dnt know how it just went off
[14:00] <BluesKaj> sorry Muhammad-Tahir , I'm not sure what you mean
[14:00] <Muhammad-Tahir> in the right click menu on Speaker in the tray the " Vlume control Setting is not enabled" i cant  clickon it
[14:01] <BluesKaj> Muhammad-Tahir, did just update/upgrade?
[14:02] <Muhammad-Tahir> a fresh install
[14:02] <Muhammad-Tahir> i m having trouble with sound
[14:02] <Muhammad-Tahir> in the beggining its okay but than it simply goes off
[14:03] <Muhammad-Tahir> n the right click menu on Speaker in the tray the " Vlume control Setting is not enabled" i cant  clickon it
[14:04] <BluesKaj> ok , Muhammad-Tahir , open a terminal , sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras && alsa-base alsa-utils
[14:05] <BluesKaj> or look for those apps in the software sources
[14:05] <Muhammad-Tahir> Thx Man its working
[14:09] <kyubutsu> downloaded 64bit flash from adobe, where to cp this for firefox
[14:13] <Muhammad-Tahir> BluesKaj u there ?
[14:13] <Muhammad-Tahir> it is saying
[14:13] <Muhammad-Tahir> alsa-base: command not found
[14:14] <kyubutsu> nice, although it wasn't showing, at least i can see icedtea showing up in ff about:plugins
[14:14] <BluesKaj>  kyubutsu , just install kubuntu-restricted-extras , it contains java and other media apps/codecs required
[14:15] <kyubutsu> i did that.. no results. so i installed icetea via kpackagekit
[14:15] <BluesKaj> Muhammad-Tahir, sudo apt-get install alsa-base
[14:16] <Muhammad-Tahir> ndiswrapper-common libdmraid1.0.0.rc16 archdetect-deb python-pyicu
[14:16] <Muhammad-Tahir>   libdebian-installer4 cryptsetup reiserfsprogs rdate libcairomm-1.0-1

[14:16] <Muhammad-Tahir>   libcheese-gtk18 libdebconfclient0 dmraid libgnome-desktop-2-17 hwdata
[14:16] <Muhammad-Tahir> Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
[14:16] <FloodBotK1> Muhammad-Tahir: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:17] <Muhammad-Tahir> okay
[14:17] <kyubutsu> so, my question is: where to place the flashsquare driver so ff can register
[14:17] <BluesKaj> kyubutsu, then you have to enable the repository sources in the packagekit , some must be diasbled
[14:18] <kyubutsu> icetea seems to be working .. i need the directory for flash
[14:20] <kyubutsu> if it is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins , do i have to reboot for it to apply ?
[14:22] <BluesKaj>   /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives usually kdesudo will work
[14:24] <kyubutsu> what's dpkg has to do with firefox
[14:25] <kyubutsu> BluesKaj: where is your flash.so
[14:26] <kyubutsu> what directory
[14:26] <BluesKaj> firefox-flashplugin in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives
[14:28] <BluesKaj> kyubutsu,, personally I think you're going about this the wrong way , enable alkl the repos in the packagekit and install kubuntu-restricted-extras ... then the proper plugins etc will be instaled for FF etc
[14:30] <BluesKaj> cherry picking with flash isn't good practice IMO
[14:30] <kyubutsu> i installed the restricted-extras via kpackagekit already
[14:31] <kyubutsu> even before ff
[14:31] <BluesKaj> the alternative can also work tho , install flashplugin-installer
[14:31] <kyubutsu> i did that too
[14:33] <kyubutsu> i'll just drop the flash driver i got into ../dpkg/alternatives and see what happens
[15:26] <Ddpbf> hi
[15:26] <Ddpbf> is there kde 4.7 rc1 packages in kubuntu-ppa?
[15:27] <genii-around> Not yet, latest is 4.6.4
[15:27] <Ddpbf> i ment in kubuntu beta backports
[15:27] <Ddpbf> 4.7 will not be in kubuntu-ppa till 4.7.1 afaik
[15:28] <genii-around> They might know a better timeline for this in #kubuntu-devel
[15:29] <Ddpbf> might be
[15:30] <Ddpbf> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/Packaging
[15:30] <Ddpbf> it seems they have some problems
[15:31] <svaksha> my wifi card is not detected in kubuntu. Any ideas? I have tried,

[15:31] <Ddpbf> err
[15:31] <Ddpbf> svaksha: wich wifi card?
[15:31] <svaksha> broadcom 43x
[15:31] <Ddpbf> sudo lscpci -nn | grep -i network
[15:31] <Ddpbf> and sudo lshw -C network
[15:32] <svaksha> sudo: lscpci: command not found
[15:32] <Ddpbf> typo
[15:32] <Ddpbf> lspci
[15:33] <svaksha> tried that, returned nothing
[15:33] <Ddpbf> sudo lspci -nn | grep -i network ?
[15:33] <Ddpbf> it must tell you some thing
[15:34] <Ddpbf> ok what says other one?
[15:34] <Ddpbf> sudo lshw -C network
[15:36] <svaksha> Ddpbf: http://dpaste.de/COyK/ <-- the broadcom card is not detected. Isnt that odd?
[15:37] <svaksha> my wirered commection works btw
[15:37] <svaksha> wired*
[15:37] <Ddpbf> that s good
[15:37] <Ddpbf> what said lshw -C network
[15:38] <Ddpbf> it should see your card?
[15:38] <svaksha> it only checks the PCI, CPUID and returns nothing
[15:38] <svaksha> Ddpbf: no, it does not list any output
[15:40] <Ddpbf> svaksha: do you hawe usb wifi adapter?
[15:40] <svaksha> nope. this wifi card worked fine till i updated the kernel
[15:41] <Ddpbf> you could install
[15:41] <Ddpbf> older kernel
[15:41] <Ddpbf> on natty
[15:41]  * svaksha is on lucid
[15:41] <Ddpbf> errrr
[15:42] <Ddpbf> ok then you could easy instal older one
[15:42] <svaksha> the kernel version that came with lucid was fine but a sudo apt-get update killed something
[16:04] <sione> Hello, I am looking for "menu.lst", where is it ?
[16:16] <genii-around> sione: normally in /boot/grub  directory. menu.lst is for older grub version 1 however.
[16:20] <BluesKaj> back..taking a break from the lawn mower...musn't overdo it
[16:23] <sione> genii-around: I am looking to change the boot resolution, I talk about the inputs at the startup before the splash screen, 'cause I can't see those... my monitor says something like "PC resolution out of range" while starting up, then the splash appears and everything is fine
[16:24] <genii-around> sione: If you do command: apt-cache policy grub grub2      it should say which one of them is installed. From there we know which files to edit
[16:26] <kubu2> sione: look in /etc/default/grub
[16:27] <noaXess> hey all
[16:27] <noaXess> is there any way to boost up internal cpu fan in a asus notebook.. over a comand?
[16:28] <sione2> genii-around: look at that
[16:29] <sione2> grub:
[16:29] <sione2>   Installed: (none)
[16:29] <sione2>   Candidate: 0.97-29ubuntu61
[16:29] <sione2>   Version table:
[16:29] <sione2>      0.97-29ubuntu61 0
[16:29] <FloodBotK1> sione2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:29] <sione2>         500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
[16:29] <kubu2> sione2: look in /etc/default/grub
[16:31] <sione> genii-around: your command says that there is no grub installed, is it possible ?
[16:32] <sione> kubu2: yes I'm in
[16:33] <yofel> yes, it's possible, grub-pc should be installed
[16:33] <noaXess> sione try with grub-common
[16:33] <yofel> !grub2 | sione
[16:34] <sione> I think my computer do not support grub2
[16:35] <kubu2> sione: have you looked in that grub file? the resolution is there
[16:36] <Ddpbf> sione: which kubuntu do you have?
[16:37] <sione> Ddpbf: last one
[16:37] <Ddpbf> and how that yor computer does not support grub2?
[16:37] <Ddpbf> if it can take full kde
[16:37] <Ddpbf> than grub2 is peace of kake
[16:38] <Ddpbf> *cake
[16:38] <yofel> does it show the grub screen if you hold left shift pressed on boot? (It doesn't show itself by default unless you dual boot)
[16:38] <notslad_> I've manually installed Firefox 5 but java (not javascript) is not working in the browser.  I've uninstalled all of the openjdk packages and installed the sun-java6 packages (including sun-java6-plugin) but Firefox still believes that it doesn't know what to do with java code.  Any ideas where I should start looking from here?
[16:38] <sione> yofel: ok I'll try that
[16:39] <kubu2> sione: edit the file /etc/default/grub and look for #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
[16:39] <sione> kubu2: should I uncomment that ?
[16:39] <yofel> notslad_: the only thing the icedtea and sun-java6-plugin packages do is link the java plugin to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so, so it should be able to find it as long as it looks for it there
[16:39] <kubu2> uncomment it and change the res you want
[16:40] <sione> kubu2: then it will show up on boot I guess ?
[16:40] <sione> instead od that "PC resolution out of ranger" error from my monitor lol
[16:40] <sione> range*
[16:40] <yofel> in Natty the grub resolution handling was changed to use gfxpayload=keep and vt.handoff=7, maybe it's those
[16:41] <notslad_> yofel: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so exists.. and ldd says that it isn't missing any libraries.. but when I go to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp the page says "Something is wrong.  Java is not working"
[16:41] <kubu2> sione: once you have it changed then do sudo update-grub then reboot
[16:42] <notslad_> yofel: when I did an "ls -p $(pgrep firefox) | grep plugin it shows that firefox is using the libflashplayer.so plugin in the same directory that you pointed out..
[16:42] <soee> is there any app similiar to gtk pavucontrol for kde ?
[16:42] <yofel> no idea what's wrong then :/
[16:43] <yofel> sione: additionally to GRUB_GFXMODE, adding  GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text to /etc/default/grub could help
[16:43] <notslad_> soee: I usually use kmix for audio volume control...
[16:44] <notslad_> yofel: thanks for taking a look, though.  I'll keep digging :^)
[16:45] <sione> yofel: thanks, I'll try first to press "left shift" to see what happen, then I'll modify the grub file
[16:45] <soee> notslad_, yeah but i want to configure 5.1 speakers etc. pavuctontrol was quite nice
[16:46] <notslad_> soee: since KDE uses pulseaudio I would think you could still use pavucontrol
[16:47] <soee> notslad_, ok thanx for help ill give it a try
[16:48] <notslad_> soee: if that doesn't work, kmix has some more settings in "Settings -> Audio Setup" that might adjust what you need
[17:07] <noaXess> some laptop users here?.. what overal temp does your cpu have the whole day on working?
[17:08] <noaXess> mine is 66°
[17:08] <noaXess> ~66°
[17:08] <Dommi> ~55
[17:09] <noaXess> hm.. ok.. i develop often, some browser open, eclipse.. normally 18-20 open programms..
[17:13] <kyubutsu> just came by to say if one installs kubuntu without internet connection/thirdparty stuff/update.while.installing, it turns into a pretty messy experience to get java/flash working
[17:14] <BluesKaj> kyubutsu, check out the alternate install
[17:14] <BluesKaj> !alternate
[17:15] <kyubutsu> first time around, i installed just the base system and could not get flash/java to work on rekonq or even firefox
[17:15] <solifugus> So what (lately) is the best way to install nvidia drivers?
[17:15] <yofel> hardware drivers app (jockey-kde)
[17:15] <solifugus> I see it..
[17:15] <solifugus> thanks
[17:16] <kyubutsu> BluesKaj: you and i never seem to be on the same page, sigh
[17:16] <BluesKaj> solifugus, open the kmenu>apps>system>additional drivers , choose the recommended driver
[17:16] <kyubutsu> anyhow, i got my issue solved
[17:17] <solifugus> BluesKaj: strangely, it says it's already activated.  This is a fresh kubuntu 11.04 install
[17:17] <solifugus> But even 2D performance is quite slow..
[17:17] <BluesKaj> kyubutsu, the factoid doesn't mention the alternate install is the preferred methos for installing kubuntu without an internet connection
[17:18] <BluesKaj> solifugus, what's your nvidia card
[17:19] <solifugus> VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] (rev a1)
[17:19] <kyubutsu> i was making a point that using the normal install without an internet connection is near useless as far as being web ready
[17:19] <solifugus> It said one was activated.. but the one that said "current" was not.. so I am activating that now.
[17:20] <BluesKaj> solifugus, the current is the recommended driver , correct ?
[17:21] <solifugus> BluesKaj: Yes.  The one that showed as activated already was the other..  had (173) in parenthesis..
[17:22] <BluesKaj> kyubutsu,  I prefer the alternate install cd for both linux machines here , an older one that needs it due to it's HW and this pc because of the greater number of opr=tions
[17:22] <Linkmaster> are there any hardware people who can help me with a possible compatability issue?
[17:22] <solifugus> This newer KDE looks much nicer..
[17:22] <solifugus> getting closer to how nice kde 3.x was to use..
[17:22] <BluesKaj> solifugus, which kubuntu version are you running and which nvidia card ?
[17:23] <Rabenvogel> Hallo
[17:23] <yofel> BluesKaj: he already said natty and 8500GT
[17:23] <Rabenvogel> Kurze Frage. Gibt es bei Amarok auch eine Möglichkeit Onlinestreams (in meinen Fall Radio) abzuspielen und zu verwalten?
[17:23] <Linkmaster> wait, nevermind
[17:23] <Rabenvogel> uh wrong channel sorry
[17:24] <BluesKaj> oh sorry i missed that solifugus ... I was away for a couple of mins
[17:25] <BluesKaj> nvidia-current is definitely the driver for the 8500gt
[17:27] <BluesKaj> Linkmaster, what issue is that ?
[17:27] <BluesKaj> err was that :)
[17:28] <solifugus> BluesKaj: yeah.. I'm running between two computers, myself..
[17:29] <solifugus> will restart now to see how it works..
[17:29] <BluesKaj> had to switch to the tv input ....wifw wanted to watch the weather forecast
[17:29] <BluesKaj> er wife
[17:30] <Rabenvogel> a short question: can amarok replay and bookmark online audiostreams?
[17:30] <BluesKaj> my timing seems to be off today ...better have some lunch
[17:33] <solifugus> Now my desktop is much, much faster..
[17:33] <solifugus> but i still want to get one of those shiney new 6-core AMD processors.
[17:39] <kyubutsu> nice! so cool rekonq is working out.. won't have to install firefox
[17:39] <kyubutsu> victory is mine!  muahahah
[17:41] <kyubutsu> really excited; i was testing out unity for a bit , was good until it crashed and burned on me.
[17:42] <BATi> kyubutsu: I was testing out unity, until I crashed a burned it :)
[17:42] <BATi> and*
[17:43] <kyubutsu> kde has a nicer set of default apps in my opinion too
[17:43] <kyubutsu> ubuntu/unity has alot of kinks to iron out at this point
[17:44] <kyubutsu> short of not using the word 'disaster'
[17:46] <notslad_> yofel: someone in #firefox helped me figure out my browser/java-plugin issue.. Firefox's "Download" button has a 32-bit version.. you can go to their ftp.mozilla.com site and download the 64-bit version.. because I had been running 64bit java and 32bit Firefox the plugin failed to load
[17:46] <yofel> great -.-
[17:48] <kyubutsu> it did not occur to me to check on #firefox when i had flash issue .. /chuckles
[17:49] <kyubutsu> although, reinstalling with the proper options was much better solution anyway
[17:51] <kyubutsu> believe this, googling for answers only added to the confusion
[17:51] <kyubutsu> kde seems to be pretty obscure still
[17:51] <kyubutsu> ubuntu gets all the coverage
[17:57] <jjjjoe> When I do an apt-get update I get the following error:
[17:57] <jjjjoe> Reading package lists... Error!
[17:57] <jjjjoe> E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
[17:57] <jjjjoe> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-security_main_binary-i386_Packages

[17:57] <jjjjoe> woops!  Didn't know it was that long.  Sorry
[17:59] <jjjjoe> Anyone seen this error?
[18:00] <genii-around> jjjjoe: You can just remove all in that directory, it gets rebuilt when you do: sudo apt-get update
[18:04] <evmo> hello to all
[18:05] <jjjjoe> genii-around, I still get the error even after i delete that file
[18:07] <genii-around> jjjjoe: Is your hard drive extremely full?
[18:07] <jjjjoe> genii-around, nope
[18:08] <jjjjoe> genii-around, I just did a sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/
[18:08] <genii-around> jjjjoe: Thats fine, as I said it gets rebuilt
[18:09] <jjjjoe> genii-around, thanks!  Its working now! =)

[20:19] <keito> Just installed Kubuntu 11.04 and it asks for my KDE daemon password to unlock the NetworkManager ... EVERY BOOT!!! How do I get it to stop doing this?  I've selected 'remember' and it still doesn't work.  I read installing wicd will do it, but is there no other way?
[20:50] <foormea> hi. i had an ubuntu-desktop dstrib installed, i installed kubuntu-desktop metapackage for the switch to kde. i want to remove all the ubuntu-desktop-related stuff. i have a list of installed packages that contain *gnome*, but when i issue a sudo aptitude purge <lits of packages>, i get warning messages because of dependancies
[20:50] <foormea> also, *gnome* is not a proper fit for ubuntu-desktop dependancies
[20:50] <foormea> i really want to remove all gnome stuff because it's messing with kde
[20:50] <foormea> but i'm not sure now how to go about doing that
[20:51] <foormea> oh, consider i cannot reinstall my system :)
[20:51] <yofel> !purekde | foormea
[20:51] <foormea> found this: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[20:52] <foormea> thanks yofel

[20:58] <jamesiarmes_> I have an HTC Thunderbolt and I'm trying to Tether it to my laptop. When I try using the mobile hotspot, it does not appear in my list of wireless networks and I can not connect by typing in the SSID manually. When I try to tether to USB I don't see any devices listed for me to connect to in the network manager. I'm running Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE 4.6.4
[21:18] <LINKSWORD2> Greetings, all. :)
[21:19]  * Linkmaster starts his fires
[21:19]  * LINKSWORD2 burns Linkmaster's files.
[21:20] <Linkmaster> Why'd you do that? D:
[21:20] <LINKSWORD2> I felt like it.
[21:20] <Linkmaster> Good enough for me
[21:20] <LINKSWORD2> xD
[22:33] <amichair> is it possible to boot and run partition editor from the regular hard disk installation (without live cd/usb) and modify the system disk?
[22:34] <yofel> as long as you're not trying to modify the system partition, yes. The partition that is being modified needs to be unmounted IIRC.
[22:34] <James147> amichair: yes, but it is highly unwaise to edit disks that have mounted partitions... hence why you should boot a live cd if you need to edit root
[22:35] <amichair> yofel: I do want to modify the system partition
[22:35] <yofel> then use a live disk. I think fdisk can edit the system partition, but you can only use the changes after a reboot
[22:35] <amichair> that's what I guessed, but I was wondering if there's some way to boot in 'read only' mode or somesuch
[22:35] <yofel> a live disk is less likely to cause a mess
[22:36] <yofel> well, you could remount,ro the partition
[22:36] <amichair> after all, everything that's on the livecd is already on the disk, no?
[22:37] <amichair> it actually sound like it would be pretty simple to add such an (advanced) option to the standard boot menu
[22:37] <yofel> well, the disks are mounted ro at boot and are later remounted rw, so it would be trivial I guess
[22:38] <amichair> if only I knew how to fiddle with the boot commands
[22:38] <prometheus777aax> hi, anyone noticed that video played fullscreen in dragonplayer/vlc/smplaye goes black for a moment when pressing right mouse button or moving mouse?
[22:38] <prometheus777aax> anyone knows how to fix this?
[22:40] <James147> amichair: the safest and easiest option is to boot a live cd... though  I know its possible to resize ext filesystem while mounted I dont know how resizing a partition would act
[22:41] <yofel> prometheus777aax: try to go to the desktop effects settings -> advanced -> suspend desktop effects for fullscreen windows
[22:41] <yofel> maybe that helps
[22:45] <prometheus777aax> yofel: suspended already
[22:45] <yofel> try to not suspend them
[22:46] <prometheus777aax> yofel: it works, thanx, you saved my day :)
[22:49] <footroot> hello
[22:49] <footroot> anybody to help me
[22:49] <James147> !help | footroot
[22:49] <footroot> ok, thanks
[22:52] <footroot> error "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should  reinstall it before attempting a removal."
[22:53] <footroot> I try to reinstall but I can't
[22:53] <footroot> anybody knows why?
[22:58] <yofel> footroot: can you pastebin the full error output you get?
[22:58] <yofel> !pastebin
[22:58] <footroot> i'll try
[22:58] <footroot> No se pudo instalar uno de los paquetes seleccionados.
[22:58] <footroot> En el informe detallado puede consultar más información.
[22:58] <footroot> Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[22:58] <yofel> ok, what exactly are you trying to reinstall?
[22:58] <footroot> language-pack-sd
[22:59] <footroot> I don't need it but I can't do enything else if I don't install it
[23:07] <footroot> somebody knows what's my problem, why I can't install the package?
[23:08] <yofel> sry, was busy. can you open Konsole and run 'sudo -E LANG=C apt-get install language-pack-sd' and post the output to http://paste.kde.org and give me the link?
[23:09] <footroot> ok
[23:13] <footroot> http://paste.kde.org/89071/
[23:13] <footroot> I think i did well
[23:15] <yofel> footroot: this time run 'sudo -E LANG=C apt-get install -f' and post it again
[23:17] <footroot> http://paste.kde.org/89077/
[23:18] <yofel> okay....
[23:18] <footroot> I'm not sure what's happening, can you explain?
[23:19] <yofel> try: 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-sd_<TAB>' where <TAB> means pressing the tab key since I'm not sure what the version would be
[23:20] <yofel> should autocomplete the file
[23:21] <footroot> ok, i'll try
[23:21] <footroot> I do copy and paste
[23:21] <yofel> well, *something* broke the package management status files for that package, no real way to find out how that happened other than reading the logs
[23:21] <footroot> didn't I?
[23:22] <yofel> well, run that, then try apt-get install -f again
[23:22] <footroot> ok
[23:26] <footroot> I think it run
[23:26] <footroot> I'll post again
[23:26] <footroot> wait
[23:27] <footroot> http://paste.kde.org/89083/
[23:28] <footroot> so, now I have to install the rest of updates
[23:28] <yofel> should be fine now
[23:28] <footroot> thank you
[23:29] <footroot> could you explain me what we did?
[23:30] <footroot> or, why the package was broken?
[23:30] <footroot> just if you can
[23:33] <footroot> it can be because I tried to upgrade without success
[23:33] <footroot> ?
[23:34] <footroot> the system did something estrange, it start the upgrade and at 28 % stoped
[23:34] <soee> any plans to ship KDE 4.7 rc1 via ppa ?
[23:38] <kameel> hi all, yesterday everything run fine and today I had a login loop. Nothing helped and I destroyed my root user account. Now I created another one but this one doesn't has root (can't install apps or anything). How can I delete the /home/snew/ partition in terminal so that it gets created by scratch by next boot up? I want to delete the whole /home partition so I don't have anymore the loop problem and get my apps and their
[23:38] <kameel> configs back from my backup
[23:39] <kameel> If I now try to login with snew I get an error that /home is missing
[23:41] <yofel> kameel: go to the grub screen (hold left shift pressed at boot), select recovery mode, then in the recovery shell you'll be root
[23:42] <yofel> if you want to give your new user sudo permissions you need to add him to the admin group
[23:42] <kameel> is there a possibility to delete the superuser snew from recovery shell, recreate him with a fresh home partition?
[23:43] <kameel> or wait
[23:43] <kameel> ok answered it myself
[23:43] <kameel> will try, thanks
[23:43] <footroot> thank's guys, I'm learning just reading
[23:46] <footroot> how can I know where is the web folder of my server (LAMP)?
[23:47] <footroot> where sould I put my webpages?
[23:47] <Ddpbf> yofel: is there any plans for 4.7 rc1 in kubuntu ppa.  I believe that you heard this question lot of times, but I need it for news on ubuntu-rs.org
[23:47] <si> oi
[23:47] <si> alguém fala meu idioma?
[23:48] <footroot> eu puedo tradure
[23:49] <footroot> mais o menos
[23:49] <yofel> we're working on it. END. here's the current state: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/Packaging
[23:49] <si> eu sou novo neste tipo de bate-papo
[23:49] <yofel> Ddpbf: ^
[23:49] <Ddpbf> yofel: thanks.
