It's the transcoded file that's out of sync :-( [00:03] oh wlel, I'll try a few more things [00:03] thanks for your help [00:03] fine. just tried to do a bootable usb stick with the startup disk crator. can't make the iso image my source [00:04] James147: installing hfsutils and seeing if gparted picks up on that [00:05] iDanielSan: iso image of kubuntu right?

[01:14] I have no idea [01:14] the hdd light is on [01:14] well ok I will go leave it afk then [01:14] is it partitioning a drive?

[09:27] i dont think xapian is exactly what i was looking for [09:45] searching the web is an entirely different proposition [09:45] web search means running huge servers, spidering, enormous databases, etc. [09:46] Google runs on linux [09:46] but you'll never find an open source resource like that, IMO [09:46] it costs entirely too much [10:11] Hi [10:28] hey guys, the last days was an flashplugin-nonfree update in my kpackagekit. I've installed it and now it's not working :( I tried reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree, but this had no effect === |Alexia_Death| is now known as Alexia_Death === george_ is now known as gmoutso [13:04] Hiyas [13:05] moin BluesKaj [13:06] hey szal [13:22] hey guys, the last days was an flashplugin-nonfree update in my kpackagekit. I've installed it and now it's not working :( I tried reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree, but this had no effect [13:25] disse, open a terminal , sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer [13:25] disse: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/50108/how-can-i-get-flash-working-on-kubuntu-11-04-64bit/50117#50117 for a temporary fix [13:25] i had the same problem [13:25] aah, k, thy [13:25] BluesKaj: hey [13:25] blueskaj method wouldn't work? [13:26] hi Peace- [13:26] I mean not to be temporary [13:27] disse, the command will work permanently 'til the next changes are made to the default [13:28] kk [13:31] --reinstall worked [13:36] nice, it works now also on my pc. Yesterday the flash package didn't work. Seems to be fixed :D [13:47] hiAll [13:51] disse, I should have mentioned the reinstall command removes the the previous configuration file and replaces it with the new version which reconfigures all browser flash plugins. [13:51] aah, thy [13:52] so a mere reinstall with package manager won't make much difference [13:55] Hi there. I am using Kubuntu 11.04. (and so KMail 1.13.6). Since one of the last updates, I have problems with my identities: When creating a new mail or reply, the identity was taken that was assigned to the current folder or to the original mail before. Now kmail takes the last identity used. [13:55] Also the used "sent" mail folder is sometimes wrong. it uses a folder not assigned to the used identity but of another ... [13:55] Did I do something wrong? [14:04] Badenser, maybe the user acct and identity settings aren't correct [14:04] "not correct"? [14:05] I rechecked everything ... I'd say they are correct - but what could I miss? [14:05] Badenser, I haven't used kmail in a while , but recall the settings can be confusing between user acct and identities\ [14:05] I think I am aware of the concept. And: it worked fine in former KMail releases [14:06] as mentioned: the problems came up in one of the past updates [14:07] right ...after kde4 I found kmail clunky to set up and use , too many options for impatient ppl like me [14:08] it also worked on KDE4 once [14:08] I know that last comment doesn't help , but that's the reason I switched to gmail [14:10] this wouldnt help. [14:10] and btw, the identities stuff is great as I have some accounts with several different identites ... [14:10] even evolution doesnt do it better === vlt is now known as vlt_phone [14:12] yes Badenser , agreed ...I liked the dentities and used that feature as well [14:12] identities [14:13] * genii-around sticks with his Pine [14:13] * szal had no problem porting KMail settings from KDE3 to KDE4 [14:13] * Badenser neither [14:13] but then again, that was 2 years ago, so don't ask me for details ;) [14:13] * Badenser had problems with one of the last Kubuntu updates (unfortunately cannot remember which) [14:15] it might be coincidence , but just around that time my mailserver switched to hotmail so the pop3 mail settings no longer worked , had to switch to pophm and smtphm [14:15] but I switched distros quite a few times w/ these settings and never experienced any oddities [14:15] other question: where could I continue debugging? === vlt_phone is now known as vlt [15:20] hi [15:21] I am trying to format a HDD I have using mkisofs using kde 11.04... however mkisofs oder mkisofs.ext4 is not installed, how can that be? [15:21] I thought it was part of the standard linux programs [15:23] wohnpal, I think genisoimage has replaced mkisifs [15:23] err mkisofs [15:32] anyone with an idea why this portable scan device IRIScan keep being recognized as a Plustek OpticSlim M12? http://paste.ubuntu.com/636920/ === matic is now known as Guest15784 [15:37] lcb: probably as that is what scanning chip the device is using [15:38] claydoh: yes but... not working [15:39] do you have the needed firmware file?

[15:44] i never digged on that [15:44] PythonSnake: antivirus fo linux, generally not needed [15:45] lcb: ok i'll get than one thanks [15:45] for the best security :) [15:45] the antivirus stuff is mostly for thing like mail servers, where the virus can be transferred to others [15:45] !virus | PythonSnake [15:45] PythonSnake: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [15:45] PythonSnake: all antivirus are system ressources consuming, so better avoid... unless any good reason to believe the system is compromized by it [15:47] except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba) means that I download something and copy it to windows ? [15:47] claydoh: about the scanners being a pain.. indeed. i got this one long time ago and never tested it under linux. now i need it and... not working ;) [15:47] PythonSnake: windows would not "contaminate" linux [15:47] PythonSnake: better use a good one on the win side [15:47] lcb: from a quick googling it might be possible, tho I haven't looked too deeply [15:48] claydoh: i'll try later or another day. thanks a lot :) [15:48] ok so no antivirus :) [15:48] thanks for the info [15:49] lcb: no problem.

[17:22] I'm trying to get kubuntu installing via debootstrapping on an "undisclosed" device that I cannot reveal. [17:23] Problem is. Once I chroot the base system. the script which was on the pre-chrooted environment gets cut off due to chrooting [17:23] Is there a way to make the script survive the chrooting process? === bandi is now known as Guest75824 [17:30] nikitis: hmm, you are running a script, which does chroot? then split the work between out-of-chroot and in-chroot scripts === disse is now known as disse|off [17:40] BATi: how would that work? [17:40] BATi: would the first script be able to send the command to run the other script? [17:41] I have accidentally removed a USB stick that was not unmounted. Now it is not recognized anymore, it's not mountable and not even the partition manager can see it, so I can't even format it. Any ideas how to repair it? [17:41] nikitis: chroot /newroot /path/to/script [17:45] Monika: hmmm, does at least system see it, when you plug it in? you can check it by inserting it and running "dmesg" from konsole [17:45] BATi: so like # LANG=C chroot /mnt/kubuntu /kubuntu-installer.sh ? [17:47] nikitis: well, I'm just offering general solution for running something in chroot, never used debootstrap myself, but something along those lines... [17:48] nikitis: ...should work.. [17:52] I'll try that [17:55] BATi: before my line that kills the script is LANG=C chroot /mnt/kubuntu /bin/bash [17:55] is that because i'm telling it to just go back to bash? [17:56] BATi: or could I just leave out the last part entirely [17:56] noaXess: no, you are telling it to change root a run interactive bash in it... [17:56] nikitis: ^^ [17:58] nikitis: the script which calls chroot will continue after you logout from chrooted bash (ctrl+d, exit...) [18:03] ok, I click on a text file and it opens in kate, I click another text file and it opens in the same kate and the other one disappears?? can't I see both at the same time? [18:03] BATi: so should i wait to chroot until the end of my script? [18:05] shane2peru: you have both files open, the first just hides... enable tab plugin in kate to see them nicely... [18:05] BATi: thanks [18:07] nikitis: depends on what you are trying to achieve... if just chrooting and running some script inside chroot to do some changes in chrooted environment, then it does not matter... if you want to end up in interactive shell inside chroot, it would be wiser === PythonSnake_ is now known as PythonSnake [18:09] nikitis: eg. lets have a script called setup.sh, in that we copy needed files into chroot, and add script which will run inside called modify_env.sh so I can call "chroot /newroot /modify_env.sh && echo "Chroot modified" [18:13] When I try to change my printer details in system settings>printer configuration, I get the error, "The service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py' The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.
