I have nnot seen any info about the existing partitions [13:49] if you have any clue about partitioning, use custom setup [13:50] cuqa, don't use guided , use themanual partition option [13:50] but not sure if all data is lost then_ [13:50] also in manual install i didnt see any info about the existing partitions [13:50] cuqa, did you format [13:50] no [13:51] there is still C,D and E at windows 7 [13:51] i wanna have both installed [13:52] ok , download a burn gparted live cd , and use it to partition your drive before installation [13:53] i have like 160 gb unused disk space on the hard disk. probablz because of old linux installations [13:54] could I use that for the installation or do I have to create a partition with the unused space first? [13:55] create a pertition in the unused space first yes [13:57] then the install cd should see the the parition , also format it to ext4 ,that will speed things up some [13:57] kk [13:58] BBL ..gotta clean this KB [14:03] thx BluesKaj. cya [14:38] right clicking on desktop no longer allows change of background - instead brings up KMenu. I did it and now don't remember how. What to do to revert to normal action ?? [14:41] grusum, dunno , reboot ? [14:42] BluesKaj: tried that and have searched and tried all I know to resolve my problem that I created... === wtfman is now known as cuqa [14:47] strange, that gparted doesnt show me any partitions neither [14:50] cuqa, describe no partitions , what does it show? [14:50] it just shows the hard drive, no allocated space or something [14:50] and it displays the total size of the harddisk [14:50] click on the hardrive [14:51] i did actually. but wait. gonna check it again. cant really describe [14:51] brb [14:52] grusum, did you lock your scrn or some such, do you recall? [14:53] BluesKaj: i edited a setting in some file and now memory of that event is gone. KMenu is fine but would like to change background . . . [14:56] grusum, was it a system settings edit ? [14:58] BluesKaj: yes, I thought with ubuntu-tweak but might have done it in System Settings ... have searched far and wide ... :-( [15:00] grusum, are you on gnome or kde ? === cuqa is now known as wtfman [15:01] BluesKaj: kde 4.6.5 [15:02] it just says allocated space [15:02] when I select the harddrive nothing happens [15:03] rightclick hard drive gives me the possibility to select new or information [15:05] choose info , wtfman ...but no ntfs partition listed ? [15:05] no nothing [15:06] yofel, we need some kde expertise , right clicking on the desktop oly brings up the kmenu , grusum has this problem , and I have no idea how to help . [15:08] wtfman, you said there was a windows install on that drive , correct ? If so I wonder if it's bootable...somehow I doubt it [15:08] well, I use it right now :) [15:09] strange that gparted doesn't see it as NTFS [15:10] is this windows partition encrypted by any chance ? [15:11] no [15:12] grusum, I see you're listed at #ubuntu+1 as well , maybe you could ask there too [15:12] i ran kubuntu from usb stick, didnt find the partitions at install progress, but it did find them in the KDE [15:12] which windows wtfman ? [15:12] just ran it from usb then.. windows 7 [15:14] BluesKaj: thank u for your effort. I wish u well. [15:14] I'm not real familiar with usb installs ...my pcs are too old to use them [15:15] I can't boot from usb in other words [15:15] ok tx for ur efforts [15:15] letting this be for now [15:15] just formatted win 7 yesterday. dont rly want to give me that stress agin :) [15:16] wtfman, formatted w7 ? [15:16] so there 's no data on the partition [15:17] there is of course [15:17] I reinstalled it [15:17] formatted C: then installed windows 7 again [15:20] wtfman, did you try to resize the windows partition to make room for kubuntu , was there an option to resize? [15:20] no [15:20] no option or no you did't try [15:20] no option [15:21] do you have a cdrom drive or is this a netbook? [15:21] desktop pc [15:21] but prolly nothing to do with the usb drive [15:22] i just found some posts on google with similar issues [15:22] never seen this before [15:23] I still prefer the live cd instll method ...the best one IMO is the alternate install [15:24] lal [15:26] wtfman, can you see the partition in the windows partition editor ? [15:28] grusum, BluesKaj: I fear I'm clueless how that would happen. I would look in some ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* file [15:29] ok yofel thanks [15:32] yofel: BluesKaj: thanks for efforts-will continue to search... [15:33] ~/.kde/share/config/plasma , grusum [15:34] or ~/.kde/share/config/ then choose plasma [15:34] BluesKaj: thanks - headed there now [15:35] grusum: or maybe .kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc [15:46] BluesKaj: yofel: SOLUTION FOUND !!! Click the plasma widget config almond in upper right hand corner, go Desktop Settings, go Mouse Actions and change action for R mouse button back to Standard Menu from Application Launcher -- Problem solved, Thanks gentlemen! \o/ [15:46] bah, too many settings ^^ [15:46] kudos for finding that :) [15:47] yofel: that is what I used to think when I was a fan of Gnome but I have learned to like KDE after switch to Unity - NOT a fan of Unity [15:47] grusum, you're welcopme I think ,but I didn' thinkof that :) [15:48] BluesKaj: sometimes just talking helps, gets one to thinking and if nothing else makes one feel like not alone with annoying problem... I still thank you, sir! [15:49] amyway grusum good to know [15:49] :) [15:50] BluesKaj: KDE has much more to explore and many more avenues to try different things... gives me something to do to while away my time . . . [15:52] grusum, yes ,i'm an old retired guy and and linux has kept me going and given mr a hobby of sorts :) [15:57] BluesKaj: I'm 63 and started with Caldera and Corel LInux back in late 90's - took till about 2003 to break free and use ONLY linux. Have been using various distros since then. settled on Kubuntu and Xubuntu for netbook. [15:59] BluesKaj: got lunch call - thanks and hope u have a nice weekend, old man. [16:01] right grusum , nice talking with ya ..same to you have a good one [16:49] Hey all, just wanted to say I'm abundantly impressed with kubuntu so far [16:50] hoverbear, glad to hear that [16:50] Just need to deal with power issues, I'm all the way up to 20w [16:51] hoverbear: it pleases me too - glad to hear your impressed [16:51] hoverbear: 20w = ?? [16:52] 20w = 2 times more then I should be using, but 5 w of that is my extra gpu I haven't got offlined yet [16:52] grusum: This is a laptop that should be able to pull 8 hours of battery [16:53] Right now I'm sitting at 4.5 :S [16:53] hoverbear: I put xubuntu on my lenovo netwook and get over 6 hrs with a 9cell battery - very impressed with it - does all I wanted to do, email and light surfing [16:54] Awesome :) [16:54] Yeah I'm on a T420 with dual gpus [16:54] Should be able to power one off and get down to at least 13w [16:55] grusum: Have you gotten hdapsd working on your thinkpad yet? [16:56] hoverbear: i turn off things I dont use, sound, camera, bluetooth and run brightness way down and it just keeps on going [16:56] Yeah :) [16:57] hoverbear: go not use hdapsd so no [16:57] go = do [16:57] grusum: Any reason why? [16:58] hoverbear: please bear with an old man, "I don't know what it is." is why I have not needed it to do what I wish to accomplish. [16:59] grusum: Oh. Well, if you have a relatively recent thinkpad they are equipped with a accelerometer that you can configure so that when your thinpad experiences undue acceleration (from say, dropping it) the hard disk is automatically parked [16:59] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_protect_the_harddisk_through_APS Theres a (complicated) tutorial [17:00] grusum: This is what I used to get it working, you can probably skip the source editing step on yours http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1752993 [17:01] hoverbear: HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver using an acceleratomer ... My S10 does not have an acceleratomer so ... [17:01] grusum: Ah ok. :) [17:03] hoverbear: I replace the hdd with a sdd and still have the faculties to not drop it [17:03] grusum: Good man. :) [17:03] grusum: I figured I'd set it up because what the hell right? [17:04] hoverbear: absolutely.. that's why people climb mountains, u know? [17:05] grusum: :) [17:05] Yay, got my nvidia gpu off [17:05] Down to 11.6 w [17:06] hoverbear: how are u measuring the wattage used? [17:07] powertop [17:07] hoverbear: gone to lookup powertop I am [17:08] grusum: sudo apt-get install powertop, unplug your laptop, then run sudo powertop [17:08] It'll give you a rundown of whats eatin the most cpu time on your machine, and give suggestions on how to improve it [17:08] really nice like app [17:11] hoverbear: Thank you! I learned something today... I didn't know abt it.. will install this PM on netbook [17:17] grusum: :) [17:22] grusum: Other things to make sure you're using include pm-utils, and laptop-mode-tools [17:28] hoverbear: thanks - will do.. have a good weekend [17:29] grusum: You too [17:35] Hello - I just did an upgrade to Natty, and everything worked except nspluginviewer, which is preventing me from upgrading flash player.

[20:24] hoverbear: you could regulatte with power devil [20:25] PythonSnake: alt+f2 and type kdebugdialog [20:25] turn it off all [20:25] then [20:25] Ddpbf: I was trying to get it to save my powertop settings....

[20:26] PythonSnake: kate ~kde/share/config/oxygenrc [20:26] hoverbear: yes [20:26] Ddpbf: Would that be the power management settings in the "System Settings" I've been using?

When I use powertop and do settings through it, they don't save past me plugging in my computer again [20:30] brb [20:30] afther that go in system settings and click on bomb [20:30] hoverbear: linux 2.6.38 has some issues with power consumption [20:31] you could tryay newer or older kernel [20:31] in natty [20:32] I mean, they're working, but it seems like the settings are being reversed by kde === christian is now known as Guest43076 === azlon is now known as ev0l === LuizCB is now known as lcb
