[00:12] <eej> Hello everyone
[00:12] <eej> I just installed kubuntu on a netbook
[00:13] <eej> but the touchpad won't work
[00:13] <eej> it's not even recognized
[00:13] <eej> what should I do?
[00:19] <KimLaroux> eej, google "kubuntu _Insert_version_here_ _Insert_notebook_model_here_ touchpad"
[00:27] <eej> KimLaroux: no luck
[00:28] <KimLaroux> give me more info
[00:28] <KimLaroux> what's the notebook, what kubuntu version
[00:28] <KimLaroux> have you looked into Additional Drivers?
[00:29] <eej> KimLaroux: netbook. Coby, but can't find a model number. Kubuntu 10.10. I have no clue what drivers I ought to be looking for
[00:29] <eej> synaptics ain't cuttin it
[00:30] <KimLaroux> gimme a sec
[00:30] <KimLaroux> Man, Coby makes laptops now? This compagny sucks, I hate it
[00:30] <KimLaroux> it's all cheap crap
[00:31] <eej> KimLaroux: yes it is.
[00:33] <giantpune> hi.  ithink i have just had my *gasp* first kernel panic.  im using kubuntu 10.04.  what are the steps to report it?
[00:33] <KimLaroux> this is weird, neither lshw or lsusb lists the touchpad on my laptop... where do you find this thing
[00:35] <eej> KimLaroux: on your laptop?
[00:36] <eej> KimLaroux: anyway, china./
[00:36] <KimLaroux> everything is made in china, even Dell
[00:37] <eej> got it on ebay
[00:37] <eej> new though
[00:37] <KimLaroux> well, a used notebook would have been a better investment than a new Coby
[00:38] <eej> not my purchase decision
[00:41] <KimLaroux> Ah! found something
[00:41] <KimLaroux> tri #xinput list
[00:41] <giantpune> KimLaroux, does it showup in synaptiks?
[00:44] <KimLaroux> giantpune, it's eej who needs help... is synaptiks KDE's config tool for synaptics? I can't find it in the repos
[00:45] <eej> KimLaroux: beside my usb mouse, I see a virtual core xtest pointer.
[00:46] <KimLaroux>  I see "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
[00:46] <giantpune> its in kde-config-touchpad
[00:47] <KimLaroux> so yeah... I guess you'll have to dig to find what sort of touchpad you have
[00:47] <KimLaroux> thanks giantpune, I'll check it out
[00:49] <KimLaroux> giantpune, you mean it's built into the KDE system settings?
[00:49] <eej> KimLaroux: yeah, so XTEST virtual core isn't actually a touchpad
[00:50] <giantpune> type "synaptiks" in the terminal.  either it will start, or tell you its not installed
[00:50] <eej> it's just a pointer manager I guess?
[00:50] <eej> All that's recognized is my usb mouse
[00:50] <KimLaroux> the command doesn't even exist
[00:50] <giantpune> that package installs the program to /usr/bin/synaptiks
[00:52] <KimLaroux> the package kde-config-touchpad doesn't exist
[00:53] <giantpune> im using kubuntu 10.04 and its here on my system
[00:53] <giantpune> 11.04^
[00:53] <KimLaroux> I have 10.10... maybe not available
[00:53] <giantpune> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+package/kde-config-touchpad
[00:54] <eej> are we still talking about my touchpad here? or. . . ?
[00:54] <KimLaroux> I used to run 11.04 and I do remember having a config tool for synaptics, where I could enable "disable touchpad click while typing"
[00:54] <giantpune> yes KimLaroux.  that is the program i used to disable that.
[00:56] <eej> the kde touchpad module for me says no Device Found
[00:57] <giantpune> are you sure that the hardware is connected and working?
[01:00] <eej> giantpune: works in windows
[01:02] <giantpune> did it work during the setup of kubuntu?
[01:02] <eej> giantpune: it did not
[01:04] <eej> giantpune: xev gives nothing when I use the mouspad either
[01:04] <eej> and the buttons do not work
[01:36] <godofmischief> how would you go about mounting an NTFS folder from the Host Drive to a folder in kubuntu?
[01:38] <godofmischief> I want to mount a folder like C:\linuxswap into say /home/downloads/
[01:43] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: you could mount the c drive somewhere and then bind linuxswap to /home/downloads
[01:46] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  depends on what you mean by 'host drive'  are you talking about linux running under some kind of virutalisation?
[01:58] <godofmischief> frogonwheels: I installed linux with wubi
[01:59] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: possibly you should have mentioned this in your initial message ? :)
[01:59] <godofmischief> set a dedicated 20 GiB space for kubuntu, rather than dynamicly
[01:59] <godofmischief> i apoligize.
[02:00] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: ah.. but it's not virutalised (not used wubi) , you boot into linux?
[02:01] <godofmischief> yes, i boot into kubuntu.
[02:01] <godofmischief> windows isn't running at all.
[02:01] <godofmischief> grubs even installed.
[02:04] <godofmischief> The reason for this is by allowing windows to do it, the host drive's mbr and windows bootmanager are unaffected.  If i configure all that via linux me and grub manage to jack the bootrecord up to the point there's error now matter how you go about it.  Though it will boot to either OS with a few choice key presses.
[02:04] <godofmischief> relatively new to kubuntu. :)
[02:07] <godofmischief> frogonwheels:
[02:07] <godofmischief> ?>?
[02:29] <nomad111> hi all, how do i make my proxy settings apply to the root user?
[02:30] <nomad111> do i need to hack up /etc/environment
[02:32] <godofmischief> anyone know how to edit the fstab file for the layout i have?
[02:56] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: sorry - dealing with stuff. um  so if you  sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt    then that looks like your windows drive?
[02:57] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  I mean if you  then ls /mnt
[03:00] <johannes_> hi, I installed a ati 6850 next to my onboard amd 785g gpu, kubuntu natty wont recognize the 6850, what can I do now? are there any "rescan" options?
[03:02] <godofmischief> its cool been doing some reading
[03:02] <godofmischief>  the /mnt  << the mount point what would that be if i wanted to mount it under say david/Downloads/
[03:05] <godofmischief> when i do sudo mount /dev/hda/linuxswap/ /mnt tells me /dev/hda/linuxswap/ does not exist
[03:06] <godofmischief> the drive is the only physical drive in the box.
[03:08] <johannes_> I can find the video card with lspci
[03:21] <godofmischief> frogonwheels: mount: special device /dev/hda/linuxswap/ does not exist
[03:22] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: nah you can't do that
[03:22] <godofmischief> my physical drive loaction is wrong
[03:22] <godofmischief> its the only HD in the box i thought it should be hda?
[03:23] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:   more likely to be sda1
[03:23] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: did you try  mount /dev/sda1 /mnt   to see if that was the correct drive
[03:23] <frogonwheels> ?
[03:23] <godofmischief> i thought i had, musta had a typo
[03:23] <godofmischief> did it that time and it worked
[03:24] <frogonwheels> ok. we should be able to construct a couple of entries for fstab to handle 1) mounting the whole drive somehwere and  2) binding your one directory
[03:24] <godofmischief> looks like thats the recovery partition installed by the OS
[03:24] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: ok umount /mnt   and try  /dev/sda2
[03:24] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  ls /dev/sda*   how many ?
[03:26] <godofmischief> wont unmount says its busy lol
[03:28] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  cd out of it?
[03:28] <godofmischief> yeah, no cds or dvds in
[03:29] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: cd /
[03:29] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  then  umount /mnt
[03:29] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  you can't unmount it while you have something viewing it.
[03:30] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  lsof /mnt
[03:31] <frogonwheels> godofmischief:  let's assume you find that /dev/sda2 is the drive you want (after checking of course), then something like this: http://pastebin.com/9uyahAcm  is what you want.  though may want to set uid gid and umask options
[03:33] <godofmischief> not my day the pastebin link says invalid id when i click it
[03:33] <frogonwheels> works for me:   /dev/sda2 /cdrive ntfs  utf8 0 2       and     /cdrive/linuxswap /home/downloads none bind 0 2           are the two lines in it.
[03:33] <frogonwheels> godofmischief: ^^^
[03:35] <LINKSWORD2> Hey, all. What's up?
[03:39] <godofmischief> utf8 is that because you chose a CD format?
[03:40] <LINKSWORD2> UTF8 is an encoding format for text in documents such as webpages, word processing programs, etc.
[03:40] <godofmischief> ah that's right, good call.
[03:41] <LINKSWORD2> Hehe.
[03:41] <LINKSWORD2> What can I help you with?
[03:41] <godofmischief> frogonwheels: added the lines to my fstab file.
[03:41] <godofmischief> rebooting going to see if it sticks.
[03:41] <LINKSWORD2> Hmm... Not sure.
[03:47] <godofmischief> frogonwheels: drives mounting fine now to /mnt having some binding issues with getting it under /home/Downloads/
[03:49] <supermetroid83> wwow
[03:49] <supermetroid83> this its big
[03:49] <supermetroid83> yo what up every body
[03:50] <supermetroid83> hola
[03:50] <supermetroid83> hello
[03:50] <LINKSWORD2> Metroid! :D
[03:50] <supermetroid83> lol
[03:50] <LINKSWORD2> xD. I'm a Nintendo nerd.
[03:50] <LINKSWORD2> Anyway... What's up?
[03:51] <supermetroid83> thats great me too
[03:51] <supermetroid83> so were ur from??
[03:53] <LINKSWORD2> Sorry. I keep my private information private, mate.
[03:54] <supermetroid83> cool
[03:54] <supermetroid83> im new user of kubuntu
[03:55] <LINKSWORD2> That's cool.
[03:55] <supermetroid83> in fact im new user of linux
[03:55] <LINKSWORD2> I'm still relatively new, but I know a few tricks.
[03:56] <supermetroid83> i have one week with this s.o
[03:56] <LINKSWORD2> A week? Why's that?
[03:57] <supermetroid83> lol im afraid  to install a new s.o
[03:58] <LINKSWORD2> The proper term is Operating System, or OS for short.
[03:58] <LINKSWORD2> What do you currently use?
[03:58] <supermetroid83> kubuntu 11.04
[03:59] <LINKSWORD2> Is it installed on your system's harddrive?
[03:59] <supermetroid83> first i took a look of ubuntu 11.04  unity
[03:59] <supermetroid83> yep
[03:59] <supermetroid83> why?
[04:00] <LINKSWORD2> You said you were afraid to install a new OS...
[04:01] <supermetroid83> i was using w ultimate 7
[04:01] <LINKSWORD2> Heh. WS7 Ultimate. Nice.
[04:02] <LINKSWORD2> Is it also installed currently, or have you removed it?
[04:02] <supermetroid83> thats right but i was boring from the same   SO
[04:03] <KimLaroux> it's OS, not SO... SO is French
[04:03] <supermetroid83> is it also installed
[04:03] <supermetroid83> sorry
[04:03] <KimLaroux> uhm, not even, in French it's SE
[04:03] <supermetroid83> im a latin
[04:03] <LINKSWORD2> If you don't mind, I'd like to open a one-on-one chat, supermetroid83
[04:24] <LINKSWORD2> Hmmm.... Is DarkwingDuck present... Or AFK?
[04:30] <LINKSWORD2> !away
[04:31] <LINKSWORD2> D'oh! Messed that up.
[05:16] <DarkwingDuck> LINKSWORD2: I'm sorta here.
[05:17] <LINKSWORD2> DarkwingDuck:  Whoa! IT SPEAKS!!!! lol
[05:17] <DarkwingDuck> LINKSWORD2: Aye, at times.
[05:17] <LINKSWORD2> You got a couple minutes to chat?
[05:18] <DarkwingDuck> Yes,
[05:18] <DarkwingDuck> I might. :)
[05:19] <LINKSWORD2> Haha. /query ?
[05:20] <LINKSWORD2> I like individualism. I like one-on-one chats.
[05:20] <LINKSWORD2> D'OH!!!
[05:21] <LINKSWORD2> I think I've forgotten how to rip CD audio in Kubuntu.
[05:34] <frogonwheels> LINKSWORD2: k3b ?
[05:34] <frogonwheels> LINKSWORD2: oh rip. sorry um.. just drag and drop from audiocd:
[05:35] <LINKSWORD2> K3B is pitching a hissing fit that I don't have a drive capable of burning disks.
[05:35] <LINKSWORD2> I don't want to burn disks. I just want to copy my own freaking music...
[05:36] <frogonwheels> LINKSWORD2: you mean rip didn't you?  just  open  audiocd:/MP3  in file explorer  (or Ogg Vorbis)  and drage and drop
[05:39] <LINKSWORD2> GAH!!!
[05:39] <LINKSWORD2> -_-
[05:40] <LINKSWORD2> I feel like grabbing the nearest pistol and putting 30 holes in the freaking DVD-ROM drive...
[05:41] <LINKSWORD2> The file indexes on this CD... SUCK!
[05:47] <LINKSWORD2> frogonwheels: I found out how to rip the tracks with K3B. But I need them to be in .mp3 format, rather than Ogg.
[05:47] <LINKSWORD2> I have an MP3 player that's really picky about what files get put on it... And it goes nuts when you don't use .MP3.
[05:52] <frogonwheels> LINKSWORD2: did audiocd:/MP3  not work?
[05:53] <LINKSWORD2> Running it from the command box? (Ctrl-F2) ?
[05:54] <LINKSWORD2> Er... Whatever it is...
[05:54] <LINKSWORD2> Alt...  Not Ctrl. -_-
[05:56] <LINKSWORD2> The message I get is: The file or folder /MP3 does not exist.
[05:57] <frogonwheels> LINKSWORD2: ok.  does  audiocd:   work?
[05:58] <LINKSWORD2> Yeah.
[06:07]  * LINKSWORD2 yawns.*
[06:08] <LINKSWORD2> I've gotta hit the sheets before I pass out....
[06:37] <naftilos76> hi, i am on kubuntu 11.04 & latest kde 4.6.5. There is a very annoying bug, as it seems, which makes everything but the mouse pointer to freeze when suddenly my ISP has a problem and internet access is suspended. Has anybody experienced this?
[06:38] <naftilos76> anyone?
[06:39] <e_t_> I think there are some missing/hidden steps in that problem. Internet connectivity shouldn't effect desktop operation.
[06:47] <naftilos76> e_t_: definitely but it seems that it does affect the Kdesktop
[06:48] <naftilos76> if i remove the ethernet cable from the switch that it is connected everything come back to life (sometimes) after a few seconds
[06:49] <naftilos76> i was wondering if ubuntu suffers from that!
[06:49] <e_t_> Are you able to switch to a virtual terminal (CTRL+ALT+F{1 - 6}) when the desktop freezes?
[06:49] <naftilos76> yes
[06:49] <naftilos76> but that doesn't help much
[06:50] <naftilos76> i can of course restart kdm but that will shut down everything
[06:50] <e_t_> You can run top to see if a process is using up your processor.
[06:52] <naftilos76> well yes i can. it is just that i am surprised how such a simple (apparently) eventy freeses KDE which is a huge evolution in Linux desktop!
[06:52] <e_t_> What programs do you have open when it freezes?
[06:53] <naftilos76> usuall staff like dolphin, chrome
[06:53] <naftilos76> it definitely doesn't have to do his a specific app
[06:54] <naftilos76> it just freeses just because internet is not accessible for any reason!
[06:54] <Tm_T> hmmm, I wonder what does dmesg say on that part
[06:55] <naftilos76> i'll check that on next freeze!
[06:55] <e_t_> I'm on a laptop, so Internet goes in and out all the time for me. KDE hasn't frozen for me since version 4.4.
[06:55] <gabriel_> hello i have some questions with simple answers...
[06:56] <gabriel_> i cannot download certain programs using sudo apt-get install with ubuntu
[06:56] <gabriel_> i have updated my apt-get
[06:56] <e_t_> gabriel_, which programs?
[06:57] <gabriel_> airmon-ng
[06:57] <gabriel_> apparmor
[06:57] <gabriel_> things it should grab from the universe i would think
[06:57] <gabriel_> i opened the source.list andchecked all the options...
[06:57] <gabriel_> which allowed me to download rkhunter
[06:58] <e_t_> gabriel_, I believe that is in the package called "aircrack-ng" which contains several programs.
[06:58] <gabriel_> ahh yes
[06:58] <gabriel_> i have another question if you don't mind
[06:59] <e_t_> !ask
[06:59] <gabriel_> i downloaded the intel wifi driver off the net and i do not know how to depackage it
[06:59] <gabriel_> or install it for that matter
[06:59] <gabriel_> ok ubottu thanks
[07:00] <e_t_> A source package? Does it have a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 extension?
[07:01] <gabriel_> it js appears to be a folder i got
[07:01] <gabriel_> with a .code
[07:01] <gabriel_> .ucode i mean
[07:02] <e_t_> were there instructions on the site from which you downloaded the file?
[07:02] <gabriel_> http://intellinuxwireless.org/
[07:03] <gabriel_> ya let me look at it and see if i can figure it out
[07:03] <gabriel_> didn't think of that thanks
[07:03] <gabriel_> how do i check to see what wifi driver is being used?
[07:04] <e_t_> gabriel_, "lsmod | grep iw"
[07:05] <gabriel_> ok there is 4
[07:05] <gabriel_> is that ok?
[07:05] <e_t_> That's fine. There are repeats for certain reasons. What are the entries?
[07:05] <gabriel_> iwlagn                333500  0
[07:05] <gabriel_> iwlcore               167503  1 iwlagn
[07:05] <gabriel_> mac80211              294370  2 iwlagn,iwlcore
[07:05] <gabriel_> cfg80211              178528  3 iwlagn,iwlcore,mac80211
[07:05] <FloodBotK1> gabriel_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:06] <e_t_> Don't worry about the flood warning.
[07:06] <gabriel_> ok cool
[07:06] <e_t_> Just don't do it too much ;)
[07:06] <e_t_> Is your wireless not working?
[07:07] <gabriel_> yes it is
[07:07] <gabriel_> but i want to do mon0 mode
[07:07] <gabriel_> and it won't start
[07:07] <e_t_> What is that?
[07:07] <gabriel_> monitor mode for airmon
[07:08] <gabriel_> i do believe it's called
[07:08] <e_t_> Most wireless chipsets won't let you do that, no matter what driver you use.
[07:08] <gabriel_> my broadcom would
[07:08] <gabriel_> i was hoping the driver from intel would too
[07:09] <gabriel_> i can't find the how to install this wifi driver
[07:09] <gabriel_> it's a .tgz folder
[07:09] <e_t_> I don't think so. I've wanted to set up an access point, but that's another rarely-supported feature.
[07:09] <gabriel_> darn my broadcom would set up honeypots as well
[07:10] <gabriel_> i'll haveta figure out how to intall this and see if it might do it
[07:10] <gabriel_> my b43-cutter driver for broadcom let me setup mon0 and honeypots
[07:12] <e_t_> The ucode file is a firmware for intel wifi cards, but an older version. It would be a step backwards for you to use that instead of the iwlagn driver built into the kernel.
[07:14] <gabriel_> ok but i still wish to learn how to command promt install things
[07:14] <gabriel_> after downloading from the net i mean
[07:15] <gabriel_> the apt-get install is easy but i'd wish to learn how to install myself
[07:15] <e_t_> For most things, the process is download, untar, ./configure, make, sudo make install.
[07:17] <gabriel_> so i would go start from the untared folder on the prompt and then type /configure "file"
[07:17] <gabriel_> ".configer file"
[07:17] <gabriel_> i mean...
[07:18] <gabriel_> and then make "file"
[07:18] <gabriel_> then sudo make install?
[07:19] <e_t_> Just ./configure, with nothing after it. There is usually an executable file named "configure" in the untarred directory, which you execute with the ./ (dot slash) part.
[07:19] <Shirakawasuna> gabriel_: `./configure` searches the environment for required stuff/figures out where things are.  `make` compiles the packages. `make install` installs it.  There are more options for each command, but those are the basics.
[07:23] <gabriel_> i figured out how to start mon0 mode
[07:24] <gabriel_> haveta do airmon-ng stop wlan0 (for me)
[07:24] <gabriel_> and then airmon-ng start wlan0
[07:24] <gabriel_> and it puts it into mon0 ode
[07:24] <e_t_> I'm glad it worked for you.
[07:24] <gabriel_> and thanks for explaing the way the install works
[07:24] <gabriel_> i apprecaite the feedback alot
[07:27] <gabriel_> i'm sure i'll be back asking quetions... thanks et and sira
[07:27] <gabriel_> shira
[07:27] <gabriel_> i appreciate it alot :) have a good night
[08:00] <Gilly_> if you replace KDE with Gnome, does that turn the OS into Ubuntu or is there other packages that need to be removed?
[08:14] <MrGizmo757> i am having audio input Problems. Can somebody Help?
[08:15] <well_laid_lawn> MrGizmo757: depends on the issue... tell us more about it
[08:16] <well_laid_lawn> like what isn't happening like you want
[08:16] <Tm_T> !sound | also this (:
[08:16] <MrGizmo757> Well this started when i upgraded from KDE 4.5 to 4.6   the input devices in Phonon will Not save. it keeps switching back to internal audio as soon as i exit
[08:18] <MrGizmo757> i have all the pulse audio control panels installed and still no Luck. it reading levels so the Mic is Working. but i cant get the system to select it as the input device. :-(
[08:19] <well_laid_lawn> you've tried pavucontrol?
[08:20] <well_laid_lawn> !info pavucontrol
[08:21] <MrGizmo757> i have alredy tried pavucontrol.  the only thing i was able to do with it was disable the internal audio.  witch left My mic as the next preferd device inline but still no Luck.
[08:22] <MrGizmo757> My Mic dose work though because in the pavucontrol under monitors its reading the input levels from the Mic. so it is working. i just cant get the system to set it as the default device
[08:23] <MrGizmo757> as soon as i set it and exit the menu it reverts back.
[08:24] <MrGizmo757> i saw this same problem in a launchpad forum but there was no solution provided there.
[08:25] <well_laid_lawn> maybe something like   alsamixer -c 1    to check if it is muted
[08:27] <MrGizmo757> nope according to Terminal the Capture device is at 62%
[08:29] <MrGizmo757> Well maybe not.  i go into advanced devices in Terminal and i have one device Muted. let me try that and see.
[08:30] <well_laid_lawn> with alsamixer -c 1 is the second card and -c 0 is the first
[08:30] <MrGizmo757> ok
[08:30] <MrGizmo757> let me see what is says
[08:32] <szal> well_laid_lawn: just tried here, when preferring another capture device in Systemsettings -> Multimedia -> Phonon than the one that's listed on top, it will not stick
[08:32] <MrGizmo757> ok in alsa i have under My mic one option that says auto gain control.  its set to 00   wont let me change it
[08:32] <well_laid_lawn> ok
[08:32] <MrGizmo757> but the Mic is at 100%
[08:32] <szal> a quick'n'dirty Google search seems to indicate that this problem is Natty-specific..  I have KDE 4.6.5 from kubuntu-ppa
[08:33] <well_laid_lawn> I'm outta ideas - tried the link Tm_T posted earlier?
[08:33] <well_laid_lawn> so it's a kde version specific thing? - then maybe #kde will know
[08:34] <szal> well_laid_lawn: if it's in KDE 4.6.2 _and_ 4.6.5 for Natty, but not in 4.6.2 for Maverick, then it's *buntu-version-specific, not KDE-version-specific
[08:35] <well_laid_lawn> ok
[08:35] <MrGizmo757> i dot know it might be KDe because i just found a Post with this same problem in openSUSE
[08:35] <MrGizmo757> so it might Be KDE specific
[08:36] <szal> I think I saw something about openSUSE as well, but that was KDE 4.1 (long time ago)
[08:36] <MrGizmo757> Well the pist i jsut read was from 4.6.0
[08:36] <MrGizmo757> i am using 4.6.5   so  it Must be a KDE thing
[08:40] <MrGizmo757> Well i am going to go check on #KDE    thanx guys :-)
[08:42] <well_laid_lawn> np :) luck
[08:44] <Cammy> Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have never been able to write to SD cards in a USB card reader, but I can read from them. How can I get permission to write to them?
[08:45] <szal> Cammy: what's the error when trying to write?
[08:45] <Cammy> There is no error, I just can't paste, the item is never highlighted
[08:46] <Cammy> I have only tried copying & pasting files through the GUI
[08:47] <szal> Cammy: well, Dolphin shows an error msg at the bottom of the file view section if something goes wrong
[08:47] <szal> Cammy: so try dragging and dropping something on the card & see what it says
[08:47] <Cammy> Nothing goes wrong though, I can't do anything to go wrong
[08:47] <Cammy> Oh, okay
[08:48] <szal> if nothing went wrong, it would all work as expected
[08:49] <Cammy> It just says "Could not write to /..." and the file path
[08:51] <Cammy> It treats all SD cards as write protected
[08:51] <Cammy> I can write to them in Aros on the same PC
[08:52] <Cammy> I can also write to USB sticvks and drives in Kubuntu, just not cards in a USB card reader
[08:52] <Cammy> Can't delete files from them
[08:52] <szal> full error msg please
[08:53] <Cammy> Stupid GUI can't leave the error message window in front while I copy what it says, so annoying
[08:54] <Cammy> "Could not write to /media/1C72-FF21/CrysisECS.anim."
[08:54] <Cammy> 1C72-FF21 is the name of the SD card
[08:55] <szal> checked whether the card is write-protected?
[08:55] <Cammy> Are you mocking me?
[08:55] <szal> no, I'm trying to exclude user error
[08:56] <Cammy> Does anyone else know how to enable permission to write to certain removable media which won't let me write to it?
[08:57] <Tm_T> depending on why you cannot write on it
[08:57] <Cammy> The cards are not write protected
[08:57] <Tm_T> Cammy: to be honest, szal has been helpful on trying to rule out different options
[08:58] <szal> Cammy: 'ls -lA /media/' to pastebin please
[08:58] <szal> on the terminal, that is
[08:59] <Cammy> What is that supposed to show?
[08:59] <Cammy> Because it does nothing
[09:00] <szal> then you don't have the card plugged in, I guess
[09:00] <Tm_T> mounted either
[09:01] <Cammy> Okayhttp://pastebin.com/bNNuLBn2
[09:01] <Cammy> http://pastebin.com/bNNuLBn2
[09:03] <szal> iow, not a permissions problem
[09:04] <Cammy> The cards are write enabled and can be written to in several other OSs and digital cameras, but not in Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[09:04] <szal> while you're at it, try 'touch /media/1C72-FF21/whatever' (if the filename given doesn't exist, it should create a file of 0 bytes size)
[09:06] <Cammy> touch: cannot touch `/media/1C72-FF21/whatever': Read-only file system
[09:06] <Cammy> That error seems a little more useful
[09:11] <romeus> hello :)
[09:12] <romeus> after installing kubuntu, I decided to use gnome, but now I'm stuck with my browser and gnome-panel opening things in dolphin all the time, is there a way to fix it so that it defaults to nautilus again?
[09:13] <Cammy> I wonder if using Nautilus would let me empty my trash can again
[09:13] <Cammy> It disappeared months ago
[09:13] <Cammy> Came back once or twice, then was gone forever
[09:42] <nomad111> hi all, i just finished installing kubuntu 11.04 on my machine and am noticing that my laptop fan is blowing at full speed even when the laptop is idling. any ideas about what i can do to debug/fix this issue?
[09:44] <szal> Systemsettings -> Power Management -> adjust power profile settings or create a new profile & assign which profile when to use in the general settings
[09:46] <skidzo> HI HO, I am Using the nouveau with kubuntu 11.04 (upgrade from 10.10) I had terrible probs to get this to work...
[09:46] <nomad111> szal: i dont see anything about fan controls when looking at the existing profiles
[09:47] <skidzo> Now when I turn on the Monito in the morning it stays black...
[09:47] <skidzo> I can only log in from ssh...
[09:47] <skidzo> what can I do
[09:47] <James147> nomad111: are you sure the laptop is idleing?
[09:47] <skidzo> I don't want to restart the machine everyday...

[09:50] <nomad111> James147: cpu is currently under 5% utilisation
[09:50] <nomad111> core i5
[09:51] <nomad111> in a lenovo x1
[09:55] <yofel> skidzo: I have several problems with nouveau myself, file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-nouveau' (preferebly while it's broken over ssh) and install the nvidia driver from additional drivers
[09:55] <skidzo> with the additional it doesn't work at all
[09:55] <skidzo> actually tht's my problem
[09:56] <yofel> nomad111: could be bug 760131, which affects pretty much everyone
[09:56] <skidzo> I need a step by step of switching from nouveau to nvidia-current
[09:56] <yofel> skidzo: manual way (as long as -current supports your GPU) is: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:59] <yofel> should that even less you need to remove nvidia-current and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be able to use nouveau again
[09:59] <yofel> *should that work even less
[10:05] <nomad111> yofel: i installed powertop to watch the CPU behaviour
[10:06] <nomad111> it seems my cpu is spending most of its time in state C4 which is the lowest step
[10:06] <nomad111> as i would expect when it is idling
[10:06] <nomad111> rarely enters turbomode
[10:06] <yofel> nomad111: the only workaround so far seems to be adding 'pcie_aspm=force' to the kernel command line, but at least for me that causes system freezes
[10:06] <yofel> more informative than the bug report are the various posts on phoronix about this
[10:07] <James147> nomad111: I take it the temperature is low then?
[10:08] <nomad111> 41 deg celsius
[10:08] <nomad111> more like 38
[10:09] <nomad111> i can confirm that most of the cpu wakeups are due to i915
[10:09] <nomad111> intel gfx i believe
[10:10] <nomad111> much like what has been said in the bug report
[10:10] <nomad111> let me ask this then, is kde 4.6 available in lucid? i do not mind downgrading if that is the case.
[10:12] <James147> nomad111: it isn't
[10:14] <skidzo> yofel I fear to go to nvidia-current, this seems to be a real problem
[10:14] <skidzo> capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
[10:15] <skidzo> configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0
[10:17] <skidzo> ii  nvidia-common                         0.2.30                                         Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers
[10:17] <skidzo> rc  nvidia-current                        270.41.06-0ubuntu1                             NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
[10:19] <skidzo> nvidia-current-dev is p and nvidia-current is c
[10:22] <yofel> rc means removed/configuration exists. -> not installed
[10:22] <yofel> p = purged
[10:24] <skidzo> yofel so what do i do to remove nvidia-current?
[10:25] <skidzo> I would like to go to nvidia-current but would like to remove it first
[10:26] <yofel> skidzo: uh, it's not installed, so why remove it?
[10:26] <yofel> more like there's nothing to remove
[10:26] <skidzo> ok
[10:32] <skidzo> yofel as you are using nouveau, what do you think? should I stay with nouveau
[10:33] <yofel> heh, asking me is a bad idea, as the only way for me to use nouveau is to forcefully disable opengl or I get GPU lockups. So I have the choice between nvidia driver and no hardware acceleration
[10:34] <yofel> I'm only on nouveau right now because this is my backup system
[10:40]  * szal doesn't see a reason other than (imho questionable) ethics not to use the proprietary nVidia driver
[10:47]  * yofel agrees with szal
[12:13] <BluesKaj> hey folks
[12:50] <Mandrak73> Void main(SEUS TROXA)
[13:56] <ekso> hey! quick question, is /tmp always /tmp in all distros?
[13:56] <ekso> and if not, how to find where tmp is? (with python)
[13:56] <James147> ekso: practically...
[13:57] <James147> though python might have a way of accessing the tmp location ^^ since it will differ on windows
[13:57] <Pici> ekso: #python would be a better place to ask (and I'd expect to see it somewhere in sys myself)
[13:57] <ekso> on winblowze is just os.environ([TMP]), but there's no such environment variable on my kubuntu...
[13:57] <ekso> mmmm... ok
[13:58] <Pici> ekso: you'll need to be registered to ask there so...
[13:58] <Pici> !register
[13:58] <ekso> pici: oki! tks!
[13:59] <howlymowly> hi poeple..  short question: I am using kubuntu 11.04 how do I find out whether I am already using the new KDE pim?
[13:59] <James147> howlymowly: any kde application > help > about kde  to find the kde version you are running
[14:00] <James147> howlymowly: or via konsole "kde4-config --version"
[14:00] <howlymowly> James147: yeah  I am runnign 4.6.5  I just upgraded to that version...  but I am still sceptic about the PIM Version. because I didn#t notice any changes in kmail and akonadi & kontact  etc...
[14:01] <Ddpbf> howlymowly: errr 4.6.5 is just point release
[14:01] <Ddpbf> ie bugfixes and such things
[14:01] <howlymowly> Ddpbf: right, so  PIM is not included, yet?
[14:01] <Ddpbf> err
[14:02] <Ddpbf> there is new kdepim
[14:02] <Ddpbf> but there is no any significant changes
[14:03] <howlymowly> Ddpbf: so..  why allt that heck-meck in the media for like 2 years about the new pim if there are no significant changes?
[14:03] <Ddpbf> cause it is kdepim 4.4.10
[14:04] <szal> howlymowly: KDEPim 4.6 is released, but nowhere to be found for *buntu, it's still considered beta quality at best
[14:05] <howlymowly> szal: soo..  that's the answer I  was looking for, thx :)  (although disappointing)
[14:05] <howlymowly>  szal: are there any experimental packages or something similar?
[14:06] <Ddpbf> howlymowly: believe me kmail 4.6.1 is not soething you want to tray
[14:06] <Ddpbf> it simply does not work
[14:06] <Tm_T> James147: kde version is not necessarily kdepim version
[14:06] <Tm_T> Ddpbf: at all, for noone?
[14:07] <Ddpbf> Tm_T: on arch i am using thunderbird
[14:07] <Ddpbf> :>
[14:07] <Tm_T> that doesn't answer my question
[14:07] <Ddpbf> kmail does not work at all
[14:08] <Tm_T> Ddpbf: at all, for noone?
[14:08] <Ddpbf> i am using gmail
[14:08] <howlymowly> Ddpbf: I do not rely on the KDE pim at all  right now . but as a KDE-fan I just wanted to check it out once more. (I am planing to move to the KDE PIM, if I like it :))
[14:08] <Ddpbf> howlymowly: you have some parts of kdepim 4.6.x
[14:08] <Tm_T> howlymowly: generally speaking, kdepim 4.4 should be the safe bet, 4.6 does have some rough edges but should work most of the time
[14:09] <Ddpbf> in kubuntu updates ppa
[14:09] <Tm_T> Ddpbf: if you mean kdepimlibs, it's not part of kdepim
[14:09] <Ddpbf> Tm_T: some of akonadi libs
[14:09] <Ddpbf> ar in kubuntu updates
[14:10] <Tm_T> Ddpbf: those are neither part of kdepim (:
[14:10] <Ddpbf> aha thanks for clarifications
[14:10] <szal> Ddpbf: there is no KMail 4.6.1 anyway; the KMail version currently shipping w/ KDE 4.6.5 is 1.13.6
[14:10] <Ddpbf> it is obviously pimlibs
[14:10] <Ddpbf> szal: i saw that
[14:10] <howlymowly> yeah, thx Tm_T szal  that's what I was takling about... :)
[14:11] <howlymowly> so where do I get the new PIM then :)?
[14:11] <Tm_T> howlymowly: it's in experimental ppa
[14:11] <howlymowly> Tm_T: thx
[14:11] <Ddpbf> szal: on arch linux there is package kdepim-kmail 4.6.1
[14:12] <Ddpbf> on kubuntu 4.4.10
[14:12] <Tm_T> Ddpbf: arch linux is not relevant on this channel
[14:12] <Ddpbf> wich of them is i 1.3.16
[14:12] <Ddpbf> Tm_T: i know
[14:12] <howlymowly> Tm_T: so  in experimental ppa do i explicetly have to install the packages on my system so experimental ppa only overwrites the pim and not other packages?
[14:12] <Ddpbf> i am asking for comparation
[14:12] <Ddpbf> not for prozelitinng
[14:13] <yofel> howlymowly: currently the only thing in the experimental PPA is kdepim, so you can upgrade, but disable the PPA again after that
[14:14] <howlymowly> yofel: kk  thx for info
[14:15] <Tm_T> experimental ppa description: Testing ground for unfinished Kubuntu packages.
[14:17] <yofel> the packages are there because we didn't find one person for whom kdepim 4.6 worked with at least less issues than 4.4. Testing feedback welcome

[16:21] <Ddpbf> who asked way ark cant unrar arcihves?
[16:24] <Ddpbf> whoever would it be he need to install unrar package before any archive manager could unrar such archive :)
[16:36] <mfraz74> Upgraded to KDE 4.6.5 yesterday and now every time Choqok starts I get a warning from opendesktop.org
[16:37] <mfraz74> get the same warning if I use test login under system settings > account details > social desktop
[16:37] <Ddpbf> mfraz74: could you paste somewhere that worning
[16:38] <Ddpbf> start choqok from konsole
[16:38] <Ddpbf> and paste output n paste.kde.org
[16:38] <mfraz74> http://paste.ubuntu.com/642755/
[16:39] <mfraz74> I get it in Choqok as I've added Social Desktop Activities
[16:40] <Ddpbf> it says you dont need password to
[16:40] <Ddpbf> access opendesktop.org
[16:40] <Ddpbf> (ie kde-look.org, kde-apps.org etc)
[16:41] <mfraz74> I get it if I remove the password
[16:42] <Ddpbf> when you removed password it strated to warning you that you dont need password?
[16:42] <mfraz74> Ddpbf: yes
[16:42] <Ddpbf> strange indid
[16:42] <mfraz74> It only started happening after the updates yesterday to KDE 4.6.5
[16:44] <Ddpbf> you could rename your chokoqrc to see what would happen
[16:45] <mfraz74> Ddpbf: I don't think it is just Choqok
[16:46] <Ddpbf> how you get that module in system settings?
[16:46] <Ddpbf> social desktop
[16:46] <Ddpbf> I do not have it
[16:46] <mfraz74> It is under account details
[16:47] <Ddpbf> i see now
[16:58] <mfraz74> is it working ok for you?
[17:01] <Ddpbf> yes it works but i do not have choqok :(
[17:01] <Ddpbf> wait till somebod who use it shows up
[17:04] <mfraz74> So if you use the login button it doesn't show an error?
[17:33] <Graf_Westerholt> Konversation ist schon echt buggy. :(
[17:33] <Graf_Westerholt> ups
[17:33] <Graf_Westerholt> :)
[17:33] <Pici> !de
[17:33] <Pici> nevermind ;)
[17:34] <Graf_Westerholt> Pici, I know. I mixed up the chans.
[17:34] <Pici> Graf_Westerholt: Which is why I said 'nevermind' afterwards, I saw your 'ups' too late.
[17:34] <Graf_Westerholt> Ah ok :)
[17:46] <marcusdavidus> fuck ubuntu  i love kubuntu pff
[17:48] <jimmy51_> hello, how can i perform the equivalent of ipconfig /flushdns in kubuntu?
[17:56] <jimmy51_> better question, how can i add a dns server?
[17:57] <jimmy51_> (i mean, have my workstation use a DNS server that wasn't provided by the DHCP server)
[18:03] <Ddpbf> jimmy51_: system settings
[18:04] <Ddpbf> system settings->network settings
[18:04] <Ddpbf> and then click on edit connection
[18:04] <Ddpbf> you could set dns there
[18:04] <jimmy51_> Ddpbf: my network connections list under that is always blank
[18:04] <jimmy51_> Ddpbf: even though networking works
[18:05] <Ddpbf> did you changed from automatic to mannual under
[18:06] <Ddpbf> tab ip adress
[18:07] <Ddpbf> of course you always could edit it mannualy
[18:07] <Ddpbf> editing system configuration files
[18:08] <Ddpbf> kdesudo kate /etc/resolv.conf
[18:44] <dmatt> Hello, does Kubuntu 11.10 alpha 2 exist?
[18:45] <Unit193> dmatt: They did not go for an Alpha 2 image this round
[18:46] <dmatt> Unit193: because of 4.7 packaging?
[18:50] <Unit193> dmatt: I don't know the one major reason it didn't work, but I know it wasn't an easy release
[18:54] <dmatt> Unit193: alpha 1 did not work for me so I wanted to try this with beta... nevermind, thanx
[18:55] <Ddpbf> dmatt: in oneiric repositories is kde 4.6.90
[18:56] <Ddpbf> ie 4.7.rc2
[18:59] <Roey> Hai.
[19:02] <Roey> hey all
[19:02] <Graf_Westerholt> Hi, Roey.
[19:02] <Roey> I have a Plantronics USB headphone set.  I plug it in, I hear nothing.  The Mixer shows a few streams
[19:02] <Roey> a few volume controls for the Plantronics device's channels
[19:02] <Roey> but I don't hear anything.
[19:02] <Roey> I tried 'test' in System Settings and that worked though
[19:02] <Roey> to try and play a sound.
[19:02] <Roey> why can't I hear stuff?
[19:02] <Roey> is it PulseAudio??
[19:02] <FloodBotK1> Roey: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:02] <Roey> hey Graf_Westerholt
[19:02] <Roey> (shouldn't headphones just work?)
[19:03] <Graf_Westerholt> I have no idea, Roey.
[19:03] <Roey> ok
[19:03] <Roey> Anyone else know?
[19:04] <BluesKaj> Roey, if it's pulseaudio then try the pavucontrol for it , if that doesn't help , remove pulseaudio and try to set it up with alsamixer
[19:06] <Roey> BluesKaj:  I issue "pavucontrol" and a dialog box pops saying "Connection failed: Connection refused"
[19:07] <Roey> BluesKaj:  and I've tried setting the volumes to 100% in Alsamixer after killing the pulseaudio process, still no go.
[19:09] <BluesKaj> Roey, pavucontrol is a gui for pulseaudio
[19:09] <Roey> right
[19:09] <BluesKaj> you need to re-enable PA
[19:09] <Roey> I'm saying that upon opening it, I get that dialog box that shuts down the app once I click 'ok' on it.
[19:09] <Roey> ah
[19:09] <Roey> I had issued /etc/rc1.d/S15PulseAudio start
[19:09] <Roey> and saw that it is running in the background
[19:10] <Roey> BluesKaj:  is there a way through KDE to re-enable PA?
[19:11] <Roey> BluesKaj:  20110712 15:10:33 roey@core:~$ start-pulseaudio-kde
[19:11] <Roey> Connection failure: Connection refused
[19:12] <BluesKaj> you can sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio
[19:12] <Roey> true, one moment
[19:13] <Roey> I still get that.
[19:13] <Roey> BluesKaj:  I did that and I still get that error when trying to start pavcontrol
[19:13] <BluesKaj> reboot maybe
[19:13] <Roey> hehehe
[19:13] <Roey> sigh I wish
[19:14] <BluesKaj> or you remove pulseaudio altogether and just try with alsamixer
[19:15] <andrewx> Can someone please help with trying to get a printer to work please/
[19:16]  * BluesKaj is a PA fab , it's just a another digital process screwuing up the audio quality IMO ...it works ok with pci soundcards , but there are better options out there for those as well
[19:16] <BluesKaj> not a PA fan
[19:17] <BluesKaj> andrewx, printer make and model
[19:17] <andrewx> it is an HP USB 3620
[19:18] <andrewx> hp deskjet
[19:18] <andrewx> apparently setup does see it...
[19:18] <andrewx> system settings, I mean.
[19:18] <andrewx> but I'm new to getting this set up
[19:19] <BluesKaj> system settings >printer confihuration>new printer and go from there
[19:20] <andrewx> print test page... here goes nothing :-)
[19:20] <BluesKaj> frankly i haven't had much luck with my 4200 series HP ,, but I think it's HW related
[19:20] <BluesKaj> ok , but don't click on ok , til it finishes
[19:21] <BluesKaj> in the test print dalog
[19:21] <BluesKaj> dialog
[19:21] <andrewx> "test print submitted as job 1", it sucked in paper, appears to be doing something on it ;-)
[19:21] <Pici> :O
[19:22] <andrewx> man! this is impressive!
[19:22] <andrewx> I wonder if I can print a few pdf's now!
[19:22] <BluesKaj> ok, you should be setup , click ok ojn the testbox dialog
[19:23] <andrewx> test page is a wicked 8-line color chart!
[19:23] <BluesKaj> yup
[19:32]  * andrewx tries printing an 18pg pdf...
[19:33] <andrewx> is there anything kubuntu can't do ;-)
[19:34] <andrewx> I bet this even gets the fonts right! unlike winblows which doesn't alot!
[19:44] <BluesKaj> andrewx, well, it doesn't work with my hp 4270 , which wokls on mac and windows
[19:44] <BluesKaj> err works
[19:44] <andrewx> See if you can't obtain a 3600-series from ebay! I swear this is working great
[19:46] <BluesKaj> well, I just transfer the file to wife's W7 pc , her lexmark does the job , even tho it doesn't work on linux either:)
[19:46] <andrewx> this sure beats wasting time installing tons of useless hp crap too!
[19:46]  * andrewx is loving this!
[19:47] <BluesKaj> true
[19:47] <andrewx> I am curious about 1 thing: how this willuse ink, compared to winblows... shouldn't be different, eh
[19:48] <BluesKaj> andrewx, depends on your settings
[19:48] <andrewx> I specifically instructed use black cartridge for this.
[19:48] <andrewx> I'll be exploring it as I go along... will try photos, etc.
[19:53] <andrewx> Mission! Accomplished!
[19:54] <andrewx> I wonder if theres anyway of knowing if it sent it to printer as individual images of each page, or actually handled all these funky characters individually!
[19:54] <andrewx> as long as it works. thanks. bye
[19:55] <BluesKaj> heh andrewx , I just put the old HP3520 into the mix...works as advertised :)
[19:55] <BluesKaj> oops
[20:16] <Psychoh> Hey guys
[20:17] <Psychoh> I'm having a little problem with Kubuntu 10.04 and I was hoping that someone could help me out
[20:18] <Psychoh> I've build a new desktop computer and installed a Nvidia GTX560 Ti (asus) however the hardware driver center(restricted drivers)
[20:18] <Psychoh> do not recognize my graphics card. So I manually downloaded the drivers for linux from nvidia's website but I cannot seem to login to a console
[20:19] <Psychoh> My only session options are : Default ,  KDE , Failsafe. Could someone please tell me a way on how to install my video card driver?
[20:21] <KimLaroux> Psychoh, you can use a console from within X
[20:21] <drbobb> hi, the keyboard auto-repeat delay is too small for my typing style, I'm typing multiple copies of characters all the time -- but I can't find a way to change it in system settings, I'm quite sure there was a KDE setting for this at one time..
[20:22] <KimLaroux> Psychoh, in Kickoff, there should be an app named Terminal (aka Konsole) under System or Utilities
[20:22] <Psychoh> I know but the drivers cannot be installed from a running x session
[20:24] <Psychoh> And if I ctrl+alt+F1 into another tty and I then try to run the driver install package from nvidia it says that a active X session is running :/
[20:26] <drbobb> Psychoh: from the tty, type `stop kdm' to turn off the X session. You might need to log out from kde first, I'm not sure
[20:26] <Psychoh> Thank you! I will try that
[20:26] <BluesKaj> Psychoh, kmenu>system>additional drivers, choose the recommended driver
[20:26] <Psychoh> However one more little question if it asks for a linux kernel api how do I get it for my corresponding kernel version?
[20:27] <drbobb> (you can restart X with `start kdm', pretty logical)
[20:27] <Psychoh> Thats the problem! :D The additional drivers say absolutely nothing
[20:27] <Psychoh> no list of drivers or whatsoever
[20:27] <Psychoh> its a brand new gtx560ti And I think that it is not yet added to the repository
[20:27] <BluesKaj> which nvidia card , Psychoh?
[20:28] <Psychoh> GTX560 TI (from asus) 1gb model
[20:28] <BluesKaj> nvidai chip tho?
[20:28] <Psychoh> yep
[20:30] <BluesKaj> so have you dl'd the driver fro nvidia ?
[20:30] <BluesKaj> from
[20:30] <BluesKaj> proprietary
[20:33] <BluesKaj> don't think that was the correct model
[21:04] <drbobb> anything about the keyboard auto-repeat issue? can it be configured from ke?
[21:04] <drbobb> kde
[21:05] <LINKSWORD2> drbobb: What kind of auto-repeat?
[21:05] <LINKSWORD2> Kubuntu's keyboard manager supports "Sticky Keys" and a few other functions.
[21:06] <drbobb> LINKSWORD2: auto-repeat when you hold a key pressed
[21:06] <drbobb> I can't find any place to configure the delay and repeat rate
[21:07] <LINKSWORD2> Settings -> Input Devices [Keyboard]
[21:07] <drbobb> not there
[21:07] <drbobb> or I am blind
[21:07] <amichair> !find java
[21:08] <amichair> find java partner
[21:08] <amichair> !find java partner
[21:08] <amichair> !info sun-java6-jre
[21:08] <LINKSWORD2> drbobb: May I query with you?
[21:08] <drbobb> go ahead
[21:25] <Guest97566> hallo
[21:26] <BluesKaj> hi
[22:28] <godofmischief> getting kinda aggrivated with xserver crashing on me, reminds me of windows.  Course the one good thing is processes still continue to run.
[22:30] <godofmischief>  ps -A gives me a list of current processes running on the box.
[22:31] <godofmischief> is there a way to search them to output ones that provide a specific string?
[22:32] <godofmischief> both rekonq and Dolphin close as soon as i run them.
[22:33] <godofmischief> small gui flash from there location and poooof!
[22:46] <todulchaos> so any clues as to why i can't get dolphin or rekonq to open up?
[22:48] <todulchaos> awesome now firefox won't open either.
[22:51] <shane2peru> todulchaos: run it from a terminal to see if there are any errors, that is odd.
[22:51] <todulchaos> avid@ubuntu:~$ dolphin
[22:51] <todulchaos> david@ubuntu:~$
[22:52] <todulchaos> no error just disappears after it opens
[22:52] <todulchaos> rekonq says its already running
[22:52] <shane2peru> todulchaos: df -h  do you have any space on home?
[22:52] <todulchaos> it did over fill last night.  have 5 gigs free now.
[22:53] <shane2peru> todulchaos: you may need to reboot, how did it overfill?
[22:53] <todulchaos> well technically didn't over fill it stopped with 3 mb free.
[22:53] <todulchaos> lottanzb
[22:54] <shane2peru> todulchaos: right, that is usually the way it is.  lottanzb???  hm, try a reboot and see if that fixes things, I filled mine too, and had strange behavior, rebooting fixed all that.
[22:55] <todulchaos> its an nzb handler that extracts, repairs using par files
[22:55] <todulchaos> ill reboot after i move the rest of the downloads lol
[22:55] <todulchaos> have as much free room as possible.
[22:55] <shane2peru> ok, that was over my head, but none the less, odd things happen when the /home gets filled to capacity, and rebooting fixes that for some odd reason
[22:56] <shane2peru> logging out and back in may work too, not sure.
[22:56] <todulchaos> ive done that, it caused the xserver to crash
[22:57] <shane2peru> ok, somehow apparently tmp files play into all that, and the system is alerted that /home is full and somehow all that needs reset.
[22:57] <shane2peru> ok, hope that fixes it for you, gotta run.
[22:57] <todulchaos> thanks for your time.
[23:33] <Guest64847> hey all
[23:34] <Guest64847> i'm having a weird flash issue in chrome using kubuntu 11.04 and wondering if anyone knows what might be the issue? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08yTBZuCHm8  using latest flash in ubuntu repos, drivers all updated and so is chrome.  i'm running in a dual monitor
[23:42] <areichman> hello, I have a problem I'm hoping you guys can help me with
[23:42] <areichman> I'm in a dodgeball league that just had picture day and we need to get all the pictures onto a website
[23:42] <areichman> I've got 240 jpgs that I need resized and/or rotated and then put into a template for each team
[23:42] <areichman> any recommendations on the most efficient way to do this?
[23:52] <shane2peru> phatch is great for resizing and tweaking all pictures the same way, it won't automatically know what to rotate and not rotate areichman
[23:53] <shane2peru> usage isn't real straight forward, practice on a few pictures before commiting, and don't overwrite the pictures.
[23:55] <areichman> shane2peru: I'm downloading it now, thanks
[23:56] <areichman> shane2peru: can I not tell it to output different photos than the originals?
[23:56] <areichman> or it has to work on the originals?
[23:56] <shane2peru> areichman: yes, that is the option, you need to make sure that is checked.
