[00:20] help? Moved my drive from an old box to a new desktop. Boots up rus fine. Except screen resolution. Stuck at 1280x1024 on a 24" monitor that supports 1920x1080. [00:21] what is the best procedure to upgrade from Karmic Koala to the latest version of Kubuntu? [00:21] old system had nvidia. new system is integrated intel video. Connecting via SVGA and a DVI adapater (no SVGA on desktop, and no DVI cable at the moment) [00:22] shall I download the latest image and make a new installation? [00:23] miglo: you can upgrade in place [00:23] Not sure if Karmic had the nice graphical prompts sorted out yet or not. But you can drop to command line and do a dist-upgrade. [00:24] (i'm looking for the command for you...) [00:24] miglo: You're on 9.10, you would have to 9.10 > 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 or you could use a cd and upgrade [00:24] dist-upgrade isn't it [00:25] After my upgrade to KDE 4.6.5, konsole won't start - stays it is built w/ wrong Qt version [00:25] doing multiple upgrade steps would take longer than a complete installation, maybe [00:26] what is the best or fastest solution in my case? [00:27] miglo, fastest is make back ups and fresh install. [00:27] miglo, do you have a separate /home? [00:28] bazhang: yes, I have [00:29] miglo, then set the installer to leave /home alone and fresh install [00:30] khindenburg: how long ago did you do the upgrade? if you update apt, does it show any thing else that needs to be updated? [00:30] bazhang: I have another partition with some data on it. should also be no problem, I guess. Is ext4 still a good choice? [00:31] almigi2: I did the full update a few hours ago; I just checked again and nothing to upgrade [00:31] miglo, yes ext4 is a very good choice [00:31] khindenburg: odd my best guess would be that you did an upgrade before all the files were ready.... [00:32] Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x1040701) with this library (version 0x1040702 [00:33] ok, will download kubuntu now - thanks for help [00:33] np [00:33] hmmm... I dunno. I've only been using kubuntu for a an hour or so... as soon as I installed it, I did the update and it worked.... sorry I don't know what else it could be [00:35] anyone experiencing sudden freezes? when using chromium or any other browsers? [00:37] khindenburg: while I'm starting my natty VM, what's the version of libqtcore4 for example? [00:37] selected the 64bit version of kubuntu [00:39] hey does anyone know how to put ringtones on a iphone 4? [00:41] hi, I'm using Kubuntu natty, when I press Ctrl + Alt + F1-6, I can only see a "_". Can anyone help me? [00:42] vietred, wait 2-3 sec after pressing ctrl alt F2 [00:42] and F7 for returning to this gui [00:43] vietred, is there no prompt? [00:43] there can be no prompt if the system is stuck on boot and he's trying to switch to the tty's in that condition [00:43] soo... why are you trying to get to them? [00:45] well, I wait about 10 secs but nothing happen [00:46] yofel: my system is OK, I just want to learn about tty :D [00:46] hm, then the login prompts *should* be there :/ [00:48] what files should I check to see if tty is disable? [00:50] shouldn't be disabled unless you messed with runlevels [00:50] try 'sudo service tty2 start' and see if F2 has a login prompt now [00:50] /var/log/syslog *might* have something [00:51] yofel: this is what I got: Warning: Fake initctl called, doing nothing. [00:52] I'm clueless then :/ [00:53] hm, shouldn't there be a process like getty if a tty is available? [00:54] there should, 6 of them [00:54] so vietred could check the process table [00:54] yofel: me too :(, I haven't experience anything like this before [00:54] check for the getty processes as miglo said [00:55] use top? [00:55] top or ps [00:55] ps -e [00:56] getty is not in process table [00:58] so I have to start getty? [00:59] hm, when I restart tty2 here I don't get a warning, but I don't know why it would complain about a fake initctl o.O [01:00] unless you messed with init? [01:01] I did a fresh install of kubuntu a month ago, and I haven't mess with it (yet) [01:01] ok [01:06] vietred: what does this give you? dpkg -S $(which initctl) [01:07] upstart: /sbin/initctl [01:09] vietred: and 'ls -l /sbin/initctl' ? [01:10] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 84 2011-06-16 11:57 /sbin/initctl [01:11] ok, that's far too small, what's in there? [01:11] or got a /sbin/initctl.real or so ? [01:12] yofel: 4:4.7.2-0ubuntu6.1 [01:13] err, I only got 1 line [01:13] that is? [01:14] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 84 2011-06-16 11:57 /sbin/initctl [01:14] vietred: no, can you open that file in an editor and check what's in it? [01:14] I would expect it's a script of some sort [01:14] ok [01:15] #!/bin/sh [01:15] echo 1>&2 [01:15] echo 'Warning: Fake initctl called, doing nothing.' 1>&2 [01:15] exit 0 [01:15] vietred: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:15] where did that come from o.O [01:16] vietred: sudo apt-get install --reinstall upstart [01:16] looks like that script does only 1 thing :-S [01:17] yofel: don't ask me, I'm what-the-helling myself :)) [01:17] install done [01:18] khindenburg: same here, but konsole works fine (konsole 2.6.4 from 4.6.5), I'm tired so can't help you more, but feel free to file a bug for now https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+filebug [01:18] vietred: try to restart tty2 again [01:18] yofel: ok, np - a reinstall didn't work [01:19] khindenburg: just asking, but you don't have any LD_LIBRARY_PATH or so set? [01:20] yofel: tty2 start/running, process 2137 [01:20] Can I press ctrl + alt + F2 now? [01:20] yep, should work now [01:21] yes, it works :D [01:21] thank you :D [01:21] homework: find out how you managed to mess up init :P [01:21] although that script is usually something used to disable services in a chroot [01:22] haha [01:26] * yofel is off to bed, good night [01:29] good night yofel (it's morning here) [01:45] Hi all [01:45] How can I update to latest kde version in kubuntu ? [01:57] sri13: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (if not upgradeable that's because is not supported yet) [01:59] lcb: Thanks :) [01:59] ;) [02:07] hey does anyone know how to put ringtones on a iphone 4? [02:17] maybe someone can answer another question i have. I have a program that does have a icon "doesnt have one low development" how do i add one? [02:17] doesnt* [02:18] im talking about adding a menu icon the top left one on the title bar [04:34] how can i disable screen locking on hibernate, but not on sleep? === matic is now known as Guest27536 [04:52] Hey guys, anybody know a Freenode channel to talk about cars & car problems? lol === MiKe is now known as Guest92783 [04:56] Ok, guess not....

[06:53] Can I get Kubuntu, KDE or Knotify to tell mw if Caps Lock, Scroll Lock or Num Lock are on??? [06:57] !num lock [06:57] !ubottu: numlock [06:57] ... Also not working. [07:00] Oy!

[07:31] cool thanks. [07:33] Thanks, tsimpson. Looks like it works now. [07:33] All right, chaitu. I'm taking a look at your screenshot now. [07:34] k [07:35] I told you guys my fonts are scary [07:36] scared you LINKSWORD2? ;) [07:36] That's bizarre... I keep getting disconnected... Randomly... [07:36] lol @ chaitu [07:36] I was about to say that everything looks normal from my end, as I look at your screenshot. [07:36] O_o Whoa... [07:37] It appears you have some sort of Arabic or variant language font... [07:37] let me give you its name [07:37] I assume you are an English user... [07:38] Yes [07:38] Ok. [07:39] Does it appear on other windows, outside of your internet browsers? [07:39] http://imagebin.org/162405 [07:39] yes all browsers look the same. [07:40] OK. [07:40] You said you're new to Kubuntu. [07:41] Have you checked the language settings? [07:41] you mean in chrome? or in kubuntu? [07:42] Alt + F1 opens the Launch menu in Kubuntu. [07:42] From there, look for a crossed hammer and wrench.... That will be your System Settings. [07:43] In there, a blue flag will be labeled Locale. [07:43] Hopefully, your problem will be in there, and easily changed... [07:43] well it has India in there. However all other settings are looking just fine [07:44] I read this has something to do with xfonts or something [07:44] Go ahead and change it. I assume you're in the continental USA? [07:45] A lot of computer systems, not just Kubuntu can be picky, if not anal about which regional settings you choose. [07:45] Nope. Am in India [07:45] O_o? [07:45] :) [07:45] Heh... [07:45] All right... :/ [07:46] Well, as I was saying, a lot of computer systems can be picky about which regional settings you choose. [07:46] Try changing them to something you know you can understand. (Example being US English.) [07:47] umnn doing that [07:48] I'm searching for other options, in case that doesn't solve the problem. [07:49] Thanks a ton [07:49] chaitu: For what I can see of your background image, it's really pretty. :) [07:50] hehe thanks..am still figuring out how to have this system setup.. [07:51] would you be kind enough to upload your browser fonts once? just wanna see if it looks like windows for you guys [07:51] I only have the KDE defaults. [07:51] *Kubuntu* defaults. [07:52] Sorry, I get the Kubuntu OS and the KDE Plasma engine mixed up, a bit. [07:52] so it just shows up as normal site on windows for you? no difference in fonts at all? [07:53] chaitu: you should probably start by changing your encoding to UTF-8, rather than ISO-8859-1 [07:54] Aha... I didn't even think about character encoding. :/ [07:55] Hmm... [07:55] ok cool.let me do that tsimpson . thanks [07:56] I have utf 16LE [07:56] Do you not have UTF-8?> [07:56] most web servers don't like 16 or 32 [07:57] but i must say it did improve [07:57] umnn can I install utf 8? [07:57] you shouldn't have to no, it's the first option for me [07:58] It is also the same for me. [07:59] oh well..am sorry. yes i have it in there [08:00] Well, let's hit the UTF-8 and see if Google Chrome cooperates... [08:01] whats the standard font you guys use? I have it as times new roman [08:01] I do not think Times New Roman is available outside of Windows. [08:01] It is a copyrighted font. [08:02] you can install xfonts or something.. [08:02] that gives you that option.. [08:02] The equivalent font is Nimbus Roman No9. [08:03] * tsimpson uses -> http://people.ubuntu.com/~tsimpson/images/snapshot3.png [08:03] Thankfully, where there is a will, there is a way.... [08:03] but I often have my monitor quite far from my face, in a vain attempt to stop by eyes from getting worse [08:04] Under the Bonnet? You're obviously set to British English. :D [08:04] does it come close to windows style browsing? [08:05] I feel like I want to slap the next person that mentions Windows. [08:05] I'm not sure what "windows style browsing" is really [08:05] I mean the clarity and rendering [08:05] chrome basically looks/feels/acts the same on all platforms, as does firefox [08:05] Microsoft panders its victims with unstable, DOS-based crap that blue-screens, locks up, and crashes a million times over... [08:06] that's probably it's major "selling point" [08:06] * LINKSWORD2 agrees with tsimpson [08:07] tsimpson: I dont think it looks the same on linux and windows. I can clearly see the difference the way it shows up sites on windows and linux [08:08] font is what am talking about. [08:08] you can change fonts, that's up to you [08:08] *facepalm* [08:08] yes. but changing fonts wouldnt give you the same experience. [08:08] You know WHY Microsoft crap is so expensive? [08:08] also, some websites are poorly written and only designed to work with IE, rather than using the multitude of web standards out there [08:09] am not rallying for windows here..just saying [08:09] There's over 400 copyrights cited, just in the initial base code... [08:09] know any site which is written for all platforms? would love to see [08:09] LINKSWORD2: relax, it's not worth getting high blood-pressure over :) [08:10] *Lights my old Windows 95 floppys on fire.* [08:10] LINKSWORD2: heh I realise that and am not saying anything for windows here..I just want the sites to look better on this OS :) [08:10] chaitu: lots are, like google. but you have to decide which fonts you want (if you aren't happy with the default) [08:10] ah..makes sense [08:10] customize it to where _you_ are happy with the look [08:11] chaitu: There are many similarities and many differences between each OS/ platform. [08:11] the good news is that many sites are getting better, as FF (and Chrome) become more adopted in windows they need to use real standards [08:12] ... and various mobile platforms [08:12] As you go along, I'm sure you'll find many of those similarities and differences. [08:12] It's up to you to customize for the look, feel, and performance that you want. [08:13] I understand.. [08:13] For myself, for example.... I have a very resource-light computer system.... [08:13] One outdated enough that anything made after Windows 2000/ME is sluggish on it, at best... [08:14] So... I scrapped Microsoft's crap-fest and put Kubuntu on it instead. [08:14] .... And then I customized it, in many ways, to look like an Apple OSX platform. [08:15] Hehe. :D That's one thing I love about Linux systems. HIGHLY customizable. === apo is now known as apoli [08:21] Well....

I mean , it happen just on my system ?, or is a common problem !?! [12:30] Tm_T: Are you a human?or bot?? [12:30] phoenixlzx: a human [12:31] AlexZion: hmmm, I haven't encountered that, you mean that in some cases kwallet fails to appear, thus not providing the password? [12:32] yeah ..... Tm_T, and after that it doesn't appear anymore , since I restart the system .... [12:32] AlexZion: hmmm, what happens if you manually launch kwalletmanager? [12:32] Tm_T: may be you are right because it is kubuntu support channel.but how can you bear the behavior like that?is that something a human should do?? [12:33] phoenixlzx: please, this channel is for Kubuntu support and only for that, you can continue the discussion with me in #kubuntu-offtopic for example [12:34] Tm_T: ok,i will post the message in #kubuntu-offtopic.thanks for remind [12:37] Tm_T: how should I do it !?! I mean open kwallet related to the connection ...., or opening the wallet is just enough ? [12:38] AlexZion: press alt+F2 and enter "kwalletmanager" without quotes, a wallet icon should appear to your systray if it runs [12:38] AlexZion: this is only to determine if the wallet system launches at all after the failure (: [12:39] yes I know how to open it .... :), ok so I'll try ..., I'll be back in few minutes ..... ;) [12:46] mhhhh, really strange... Tm_T , now I tried to connect it immediatelly when the desktop apper and it worked ...., so I guess the problem is if I try to connect while some other application is launching ......, usually at startup I have skype, amarok, akregator, nothing else...., so probablly something strange happens when one of these apps is opening up and I try to connect .... [12:47] .....and the point is , no one os these apps has a password stored on the wallet .... [12:49] anyway...., is not a big problem if you know it, just a bit unconfortable .... ;) [12:50] AlexZion: disable it in settings. [12:50] lcb there is a way to take out just the wireless pasword from the wallet !?! [12:51] because kwallet is really usefull for me except for the wireless password .. .:D [12:52] AlexZion: under Waccess Control" i believe [12:52] "Access Control" [12:53] lcb: Access Control !?! what is that ?, I don't have something called Access Control for what I know .... [12:54] AlexZion: i had issues with it too so i decided to disable kwallet at all. i never spent time to discover where the problems reside. [12:55] on the konsole type kwalletmanager | then click on the tab Access Control and expand kdewallet [12:55] yeah in the paste I did too, but rigth now I really need kwallet to store a lot of password like different ftp access, or some login and so on , so would be really nice to understand how to manage it ... [12:57] AlexZion: you might have in there one item for wireless [12:57] ok but on the access control settings , there is not a voice saying network manager .... [12:58] AlexZion: nothing.. like something related to networking?? [12:58] i can't tell you the correct one because mine is disabled as i said :( [12:58] no on the access control panel ...., I have something about it just on the wallet ... [13:00] AlexZion: :) [13:01] nice job on the channel AlexZion [13:01] anyway , I'll try to remove the wireless password , and after that try to avoid tha use oh kwallet from network manager , hopefully it will works ...., even if I never been lucjy with that ....., thanks... [13:01] hi Peace- what are you talking about !?! [13:02] AlexZion: are you not italian? [13:02] Howdy [13:02] BluesKaj: hey [13:02] AlexZion: i would remove all that wireless point. since you are having some issues with the passwds. then configure it again [13:02] AlexZion: restart networking after doing it, if you do [13:02] AlexZion: oh you had the problem :D [13:02] sorry [13:02] :P [13:02] hi Peace- [13:02] yeah sure , I'm the on on the italian channel but..., what nice job are you talking about ?

[14:12] 31NAAPI8M, read what I posted above [14:13] kde 4.7 isn't ready [14:13] <31NAAPI8M> thnks [14:18] <31NAAPI8M> BluseKaj : but my friend got 4.7 release candidate with pacman in arch. [14:18] do you guys know any data and software management suite for mobile devices? (meaning access to your device system and data and manipulating it) [14:18] 31NAAPI8M: not supported [14:20] 31NAAPI8M: not supported in a direct sense = by means of a normal installation and maintenance of the system you are running from the official and main source. [14:21] 31NAAPI8M, well, it migh work with his HW in arhHc, but this is kubuntu and your HW may be different , hence diffrent results [14:23] <31NAAPI8M> ok, arch is rolling relase! and kubuntu is not rolling relase! :) [14:24] <31NAAPI8M> release [14:26] 31NAAPI8M: probably is rolling conscientiously on the backstage instead of on-the-fly patches/updates from "accessories"(in this case a graphical environment) [14:27] 31NAAPI8M, if you want to try it , then go ahead..my post is just a warning abot what happened to me ! [14:28] 31NAAPI8M: you don't see too many problems here it's a symptom that all updates/grades are well tested before going to the "wild" [14:28] *here. it's a symp..* [14:42] After upgrade 4.6.5, I can't start konsole - any ideas how to resolve? Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x1040701) with this library (version 0x1040702) [14:44] "Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x1040701) with this library (version 0x1040702)" that says it all. Cannot mix a current system with a non tested one. [14:46] i think someone should add to the topic about unsupported "additions" to kubuntu [14:47] what program do I use to draw algorythms [14:47] algorithems [14:51] Has anyone had any trouble upgrading to KDE4.6.5 from the kubuntu ppa? [14:55] khindenburg: to continue from yesterday: are you on 32 or 64bit? LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in any way? [15:23] What are the ways to set wireless connection in Kubuntu? I tried with Network Management plasmoid, but that way connection is made after I login into KDE. I tried wicd-kde also but wicd won't connect with my router with WPA2 encryption saying "Bad password". [15:24] !network | slsimic [15:24] slsimic: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:24] Is there any other way to set and make wireless connection during startup? [15:24] !koffice [15:24] !koffice [15:25] how do i install koffice? [15:25] Its not there. [15:26] its not in the repositories [15:26] !libreoffice [15:26] http://www.kde.org/applications/office/ [15:27] !info | libreoffice [15:27] 'libreoffice' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, natty, natty-backports, natty-proposed, oneiric, oneiric-backports, oneiric-proposed, partner, stable, testing, unstable [15:27] really? [15:28] !LibreOffice [15:29] Graf_Westerholt: this info is rather old [15:29] strange stuff ...this is weird it's in the repos [15:29] even 8.04 is mentioned there [15:30] sorush20 sudo apt-get install kword [15:30] and is mostly for Ubuntu and Gnome [15:32] Graf_Westerholt: I want the entire office packages.. etc [15:32] I guess the open office transition to libreoffice is still in the dev stages [15:33] sorush20 sudo apt-get install koffice [15:33] sorush20, libreoffice is the suite you want then [15:33] Graf_Westerholt: its not installed [15:34] sorush20, that comand installs it. [15:35] how do I get thekde menu to re arrange itself? [15:35] sorush20, that command arranges it. [15:38] Graf_Westerholt: I'm not a newbe ... the command doesn't do what you are suggesting.. it is only installing one package and on removal only removing one package .. sudo apt-get install koffice [15:39] sorush20, are you looking for a Microsoft Office replacement ? [15:39] BluesKaj: no [15:39] ok [15:39] or equivlent on linux ? [15:40] BluesKaj: no , there is something wrong with my sources or my dpkg [15:40] [17:25:42] how do i install koffice? The command installs koffice. What you you want? [15:41] Graf_Westerholt: well I came here assuming something has changed from the previous versions of kubuntu apt-get install koffice , but since it didn't work then I'm here to see if this is a common prob or anything has changed. but since not then there is somehting worng at my end [15:42] Graf_Westerholt, sometimes alternative suggestions if the person is new to linux and not real sure of what they need [15:43] sorush20, maybe you pastebin your output of the command. [15:43] sorush20, check you kpackagekit or software sources and make sure the canonical partners are also enabled as well the universe and muliverse [15:44] I'm right now doing dpkg-reconfigure -a [15:44] take some time [15:46] nothing comes out on dpkg-reconfigure koffice [15:46] koffice is already the newest version. [15:46] that is the message from apt-get install koffice [15:47] sorush20, so run „kwrite“ in the terminal. [15:48] Graf_Westerholt: its working I'm seeing it [15:48] :) [15:48] kword I've tried [15:48] what version shoudl it be [15:49] sorush20, I think 2.3.3 [15:49] Says so here. [15:50] do you have kivio installed? [15:50] so waht's the advantage of koffice over an office suite like libre office besides space on the drive ? [15:51] better kde integration ? [15:53] * BluesKaj shrugs [15:54] BluesKaj, everybody use the application he likes. :) [15:55] Graf_Westerholt, that's not what I asked :).....but nevermind [15:56] apparently if you want to use kivio you have to stick with koffice 1.6 etc [15:56] http://www.koffice.org/download/ [15:57] is there anything like kivio anyone else here uses. [15:59] odd sorush20 that your package manager doesn't contain koffice [16:00] BluesKaj: it does contain it and it does install it and I can use the programs but kivio is not part of it and the kdemenu > office is not showing any of the programs [16:01] ok sorush20 [16:04] yofel: that LD is not set [16:05] it's possible I messed up my system somehow - I use this laptop to devel kde stuff [16:05] khindenburg: what does 'which qmake' say? [16:05] What is kivio? [16:05] !kivio [16:05] yofel: not installed [16:06] sorush20 sometimes you have to wait or restart KDE to have the programs in the menu. [16:08] hello is there any one that can help me install java ? xD [16:09] !java | kjartano [16:09] kjartano: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [16:11] khindenburg: and 'which konsole' says? [16:12] yofel: 5436 2011-07-08 04:34 /usr/bin/konsole* [16:13] the konsolepart must work since I"m using yakuake [16:14] I'm out of ideas then, 32 or 64bit? [16:15] unless you have a Qt installation in /usr/local or so [16:15] but then it should've found qmake [16:15] yofel: 32 [16:16] yofel: that's OK - I likely did it myself - txs [16:19] how can i open an output from a previous command in gedit, without creating a new file [16:19] such as this: curl --manual > curlmanual && gedit curlmanual, without actually creating curlmanual [16:30] Anyone experiencing KDE freezes on NVIDIA drivers when you try to resize Konsole app ? [16:32] I have KDE 4.6.5 on Kubuntu 64 bit and when I try to resize Konsole it freezes my desktop environment and the user interface does not accept any input from keyboard anymore all I can do is restart from the button [16:34] i'm getting error: Configuration file "/home/maciej/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc" not writable. [16:34] Please contact your system administrator. [16:34] when i open the quick access browser [16:35] maciej: you need to make dolphinrc file writable [16:35] maciej: write click on it and change it permissions or from the command line [16:36] write = right [16:36] right :) [16:36] permission already : Owner: can read and write [16:37] group : forbidden, others: forbidden [16:37] maciej: this file is in your home directory I suppose not from other user, right ? [16:38] correct [16:38] perhaps its fixed, i changed to 'read only' ok, then set back to read and write' ok, now no dialog popup [16:38] thank you === CM-GEOMETRIX is now known as OMaxis [16:39] monocode: konsole trashing your system is a known issue with the nvidia 270 driver, you would need an updated one, add 'ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates' to your sources and update [16:39] monocode: nevermind, dialog still pops up on new dolphin [16:40] yofel: thanks, I'll try it out [16:40] is there a way i can force fix the permission because its already set to read and write, [16:40] maciej: Change the permissions for others and group to Read and Write [16:42] monocode: easy enough, thanks [16:42] how can I install wayland on kubuntu 11.4? [16:42] linux-beginner-h: there is an (experimental!!) wayland package in the archive [16:43] monocode: re NVIDIA & Konsole resizing, confirmed, resize crashes [16:43] yofel: yes, but it's broken because of libcairo2-dev [16:44] linux-beginner-h: then I fear I don't know, the folks in #ubuntu-x should know more [16:44] yofel: okthanks [16:44] kirk: I tried to disable VSync and some other stuff from desktop effects but the same result, now I'm updating the NVIDIA drivers from the ppa mentioned above and see what happens [16:44] kirk: monocode: bug 760632 [16:44] Launchpad bug 760632 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/760632 [16:46] Its because of nvidia drivers I know this without even reading the bug report from launchpad because Kubuntu used to rock on my system with older versions of the driver [16:46] anyway I'll try and see what people have found there and help with my own findings to solve the bug [16:47] there's a variable you can set to prevent the crashing, but updating the driver should help too [16:54] updating the drivers solved the problem [16:58] been a user of ubuntu since 8.04... used to gnome... now that ubuntu isnt gnome i've given kubuntu a try... "KDE where have you been all my life?" [17:00] so... i'll keep using ubunto of the " [17:00] so... i'll keep using ubunto of the "K" kind :P [17:01] soultekkie its sweet isnt it eh [17:01] ya [17:01] the network manager is absolutely brilliant [17:01] cant count the problems i get from network-manager-applet in gnome [17:04] i like it for various reasons but the default look alone is very nice & i say it alot but kubu runs faster than ubu on my end [17:05] the interface is great... even gnome3 is getting kind of weird [17:06] gnome-shell resembles unity [17:06] network manager on kde and gnome are only ood with the most common wifi chips like broadcom etc...anything out of the ordinary has probs [17:06] at least kde still is a desktop environment that looks pro [17:06] err good [17:06] Anyone using TweetDeck (an Adobe AIR app) in Kubuntu? [17:07] with networkmanager 0.8.4 as soon as i plugged my Alfa AWUS036NH it went crazy in ubuntu 10.04 (was running 2.6.38-10 kernel) [17:07] it looked better on ubuntu 11.04 but i dispise unity [17:09] excuse my english ... portuguese dude here :P [17:09] np its fine [17:09] Sorry, soultekkie, but I try to learn portuguese. :) [17:10] i may from time to time misspell some words sorry [17:10] No problem, soultekkie.

[17:32] he does I guess, should work as long as you put that at the bottom of the file [17:32] in ubuntu 10.04 it was simpler... "user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" [17:32] otherwise %admin might override the permission setting [17:32] and that would set it [17:33] yes , you also have to include /usr/bin/apt, /usr/bin/apt-get/ etc in the list plus what ever apps need the pw like packagemangers etc [17:34] ty yofel... that did it :P bottom of the file FTW [17:42] backwards compatibility is a good thing... beeing able to run gparted in kde is beautiful [17:44] dumb question... is nautilus able to run on kde? [17:47] why not... its just a file manager... that will bring on some gnomish dependencies [17:47] but if you really want... :) [17:47] just because dolphin copies a video/mp3 file before playing it [17:48] i actually prefer dolphin look and feel [17:57] ok... nautilus solved the *remote video play* issue.. and i'll use it for that alone :P === Rubin_ is now known as Rubin [18:45] Is there a a way to install 4.7 RC on kubuntu 11.04?
