[01:02] <magoo> hi
[01:06] <cjae> I am positive that there is some issue in kubuntu, not sure about ubuntu, with writing files to vfat mem sticks.
[01:09] <cjae> whether its just kde or dolphin I am not sure or anything else for that matter. Thank god I have a multi-drive card reader with a light on it, since kde says it sone writing to the stick, the light is still flashing indicating there is still operations taking place
[01:10] <cjae> corrupted data nice
[01:10] <cjae> f*ck me

[01:42] <nomad111> ?
[02:30] <LINKSWORD2> Greetings, all. :)
[03:01] <ghittsum> I'm using kubuntu 11.04.  Why can't I change the color of the font in konsole from blue on black to something I can see when I pico edit an html file.  Please don't make fun of me because I'm still using pico.  I like pico.  I grew up on pico.
[03:04] <ghittsum> I'll try to hang in the channel a couple of days and just keep googling until I get lucky.
[03:07] <e_t_> ghittsum: right click on the console window, click Configure Current Profile, go to the Appearance tab. You can change the color scheme there.
[03:07] <ghittsum> I have tried that
[03:08] <ghittsum> I'll go in and change every color to white
[03:08] <ghittsum> maybe red = blue and thats why it's not working.
[03:09] <ghittsum> oh, ok...I see what you're saying.
[03:09] <ghittsum> right clicking is the key
[03:09] <e_t_> You can try the different preset themes, too.
[03:09] <ghittsum> going to settings didn't seem to accomplish what I wanted
[03:10] <ghittsum> yeah, I went to settings, edited my profile, changed schemes...and wasn't getting anything to work beyond the shell command line
[03:10] <ghittsum> thank you.
[03:40] <LINKSWORD2> Is there a widget to post a status update to either Windows Live or to MySpace?
[03:44] <e_t_> LINKSWORD2: Kopete can connect to Windows Live Messenger (MSN). I don't know of anything that connects to MySpace.
[03:49] <LINKSWORD2> OK.
[03:52] <LINKSWORD2> lol
[03:52] <LINKSWORD2> KNotify: "A system restart is required for these widgets to install properly."
[03:52] <LINKSWORD2> So... Excuse me. lol
[03:53] <e_t_> System restarts are usually only for kernel updates.

[06:49] <naftilos76> hi everyone, i am on Kubuntu 11.04 KDE updated to 4.6.5 and i have a problem which appears to be a well known bug - There have been repeated failed attempts to gain access to a wallet. An application may be misbehaving.
[06:49] <naftilos76> i read that deleting the wallet and re-entering password fixes the issue
[06:50] <naftilos76> has anybody found any solution on this?

[13:00] <qrtn> what is diference between i386 and amd64 linux version? when i have amd64 procesor and i have linux i386, its wrong (slower etc.) or ok?
[13:02] <bati_> BluesKaj: funny isn't it? but sad thing is that it actually usually works :)
[13:02] <tsimpson> qrtn: i386 is not slower, the main reason to use 64bit linux is to use more than 4GB of RAM
[13:02] <ArchangelSe7en> duytruong, xchat
[13:02] <tsimpson> BluesKaj: I don't see how that's relevant, or true
[13:02] <BluesKaj> bati_, take a look over at #ubuntu ...it's abit late but wow , that was something to see
[13:03] <qrtn> tsimpson: thanks a lot
[13:03] <BluesKaj> tsimpson, BS
[13:04] <tsimpson> BluesKaj: you're welcome to your opinion, but please express it in the appropriate forums, not in this channel
[13:25] <szal> hmm..  anyone have an idea what I need to change where if I want to have fsck on boot a little more verbose?  standard option is --quiet, and when fsck checks a partition it only says which one and, "Your disk drives are being checked for errors. This may take some time."..  I'd like to pass the -C option (progress bars) for fsck on boot
[13:34] <BluesKaj> szal, not sure , but try removing 'quiet '
[13:34] <szal> BluesKaj: where from, that is the question
[13:36] <BluesKaj>  /etc/default/grub...lemme check
[13:37] <BluesKaj> yeah, that's it , quiet splash
[13:38] <szal> BluesKaj: that's the Grub, I was talking about the fsck that gets executed on boot
[13:39] <BluesKaj> yeah , so was I ..you can make booting into kubuntu more verbose'
[13:40] <BluesKaj> let the fsck run or press 's' for skip , but until you let it run it's course that fsck will be there everytime
[13:41] <BluesKaj> szal,^
[13:41] <szal> BluesKaj: you don't seem to get me
[13:43] <BluesKaj> szal, I do , but that fsck afaik appears after grub , when booting into the OS, not before
[13:44] <szal> BluesKaj: I haven't said anything to the contrary
[13:44] <BluesKaj> unless I've never seen it before
[14:21] <jtheuer> is there a more stable (possible older) version of openoffice / libre office available for natty? I don't care about features but It crashes far too often (~10 minutes)
[14:45] <smoze> where was grub config file again?
[15:17] <heinkel_114> hello, I am trying to use the live DVD kubuntu 11.04 and access data on encrypted hardisk with that, using dolphin
[15:18] <heinkel_114> however, I can only see some unencrypted grub related files
[15:19] <heinkel_114> when I click on the icon in the left hand sidebar for the encrypted container, I need to enter password , which I did, but the program responds that
[15:20] <heinkel_114> org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Busy: one or more block devices are holding /dev/sda5
[15:20] <heinkel_114> can I do something to release this hold? and mount the encrypted container?
[15:21] <heinkel_114> I want to do a backup and then a fresh install
[15:21] <heinkel_114> the system on the laptop broke during upgrade
[15:34] <senorpedro> hi folks
[15:34] <senorpedro> i upgraded to 11.04. now everytime i load a page in chromium that uses flash, the whole screen 'flickers', meaning for 1/2 seconds its completely dark. this is very annoying. how can i fix that?
[15:35] <senorpedro> that wasnt before with 10.04
[15:36] <senorpedro> i'm using the current nvidia driver
[15:37] <Ddpbf> senorpedro: wich flash you have installed
[15:37] <Ddpbf> and how ff and rekonq handle flash content
[15:38] <senorpedro> 10.3.181.34ubuntu0.11.04.1
[15:39] <Ddpbf> flashplugin installer
[15:39] <senorpedro> yes
[15:39] <Ddpbf> or flush plugin non free?
[15:39] <Ddpbf> 64 or 32 bit?
[15:39] <senorpedro> flashplugin installer
[15:39] <senorpedro> 32
[15:39] <Ddpbf> huh
[15:39] <senorpedro> ff: no flickering
[15:40]  * Ddpbf is out of ideas then :(
[15:40] <senorpedro> in rekonq also no flickering, but this browser seems broken
[15:41] <Ddpbf> senorpedro: do you use chromium daily or from regular repos
[15:41] <senorpedro> regular repos
[15:42] <Ddpbf> then i would suggest you to switch to ppa
[15:42] <Ddpbf> i m using chromium daily and it works gud
[15:42] <Ddpbf> *good
[15:42] <senorpedro> ok i'll try that
[15:42] <Ddpbf> 32 bit flashplugin installer
[15:43] <Ddpbf> you could allways purge ppa if you are not staisfied
[15:46] <senorpedro> installed chromium from ppa, still flickering...
[15:48] <Ddpbf> wich gpu senorpedro
[15:48] <Ddpbf> i mean exact model
[15:48] <senorpedro> nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS]
[15:48] <Ddpbf> lscpi -knn | grep -i video
[15:52] <BluesKaj> senorpedro, use the recommended driver nvidia-current ...that's what I use , I have the same card
[15:52] <senorpedro> BluesKaj, i'm using that driver
[15:52] <Ddpbf> BluesKaj: he use it
[15:53] <Ddpbf> :>
[15:53] <BluesKaj> ok , just got here , so couldn't see the text
[15:57] <BluesKaj> so senorpedro ..have a problem ?
[15:57] <Ddpbf> flash flickering in chromium
[15:57] <Ddpbf> 32 bit
[15:58] <Ddpbf> os
[15:58] <senorpedro> well loading/reloading a flash-using webpage in chromium causes flicker
[15:58] <BluesKaj> default flash , senorpedro ?
[15:58] <senorpedro> yes
[16:00] <senorpedro> also: when a page that uses flash has the focus, and i press ctrl-t to open a new browser tab, the browser is moved in the background and all the other open windows are placed over it....
[16:04] <BluesKaj> doesn't seem to be a flash issue then, senorpedro..rendering in chromium maybe
[16:04] <senorpedro> how can i fix that?
[16:05] <BluesKaj> default chromium or daily builds , senorpedro ?
[16:05] <senorpedro> daily builds
[16:05] <senorpedro> but i had default before, same issue
[16:06] <BluesKaj> before when?
[16:07] <Ddpbf> 10 minutes ago
[16:07] <Ddpbf> i suggested mu to try daily build
[16:09] <BluesKaj> which kde ?
[16:10] <senorpedro> kde 4
[16:10] <BluesKaj> 4.?
[16:10] <senorpedro> 4.4
[16:10] <senorpedro> 4.4.6 i guess
[16:11] <senorpedro> that default one that comes with kubuntu 11.04
[16:11] <BluesKaj> dolphin/help/about kde ,will tell you
[16:12] <Ddpbf> errr
[16:12] <Ddpbf> 4.4.6 does not exist
[16:12] <Ddpbf> natty came with 4.6.2
[16:13] <senorpedro> 4.6.2 it is
[16:15] <IamTrying> Hello anyone here?
[16:17] <BluesKaj> well, I'm on 4.6.5 ...wonder i a kde upgrade will help, senorpedro , if you'd like to , add the backpots ppa , sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports  , then do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:17] <BluesKaj> if
[16:17] <senorpedro> ok i'll try
[16:18] <Ddpbf> BluesKaj: it will give him new amarok
[16:18] <Ddpbf> :)
[16:18] <senorpedro> i dont use amarok
[16:18] <Ddpbf> 4.6.5 is other ppa
[16:18] <BluesKaj> yeah , well remove it
[16:18] <IamTrying> Hello ?
[16:18] <BluesKaj> !ask | IamTrying
[16:18] <Ddpbf> http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-release-4.6.5
[16:19] <senorpedro> hm seems amarok is the only thing that will be upgraded....
[16:19] <Ddpbf> senorpedro: this ppa
[16:19] <BluesKaj> ddthat ppa that I posted works
[16:19] <Ddpbf> tehre is a lot ppas for kubuntu ninjas
[16:19] <BluesKaj> Ddpbf,
[16:21] <IamTrying> Does anyone know what is my microphone and speaker directory? /dev/dsp is not working e.g: http://i.stack.imgur.com/7WPVw.png
[16:22] <BluesKaj> senorpedro, you could use this one as well , without the backports , sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa...afaik the backports give a full upgrade of kde
[16:24] <senorpedro> yeah i'm upgrading right now
[16:25] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, open a termnal and type alsamixer
[16:25] <BluesKaj> err terminal
[16:27] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, it does not show me /dev/xyz..... it gives me ncurses mixer.
[16:27] <Ddpbf> BluesKaj: backorpts will gave full upgrade
[16:27] <Ddpbf> when kde 4.7 will be ready
[16:27] <BluesKaj> yes Ddpbf , I mentioned that
[16:27] <Ddpbf> point releases are in updates
[16:27] <Ddpbf> :)
[16:31] <BluesKaj> 4.7 is RC on 11.10 , but it breaks the install on some setups
[16:31] <IamTrying> How to get the sound cards as directory ?
[16:33] <Peace-> BluesKaj: ?
[16:33] <Peace-> BluesKaj: have you tried 11.10 ?
[16:34] <IamTrying> It shows /proc/asound/ but what is my mic and speaker then?
[16:34] <IamTrying> alsamixer > F2 it shows /proc/asound/etc etc
[16:34] <BluesKaj> Peace-, yes , unfortunately it broke my system badly, so I reverted
[16:35] <Peace-> mm i am going to download it :P
[16:35] <BluesKaj> Peace-, good luck ..hope 11.10 works for you
[16:36] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, any idea plz?
[16:36] <BluesKaj> alsamixer , also shows all the ctrls for headphones and mics etc . IamTrying ..use those
[16:38] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, http://i.imgur.com/UNCDa.png
[16:39] <IamTrying> i do not have /dev/xyz < paths to include it here http://i.stack.imgur.com/7WPVw.png
[16:41] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, any ctrls with an M in the bottom box means it's muted , to see all ctrls use F5
[16:43] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, then open sytem settings phonon , pass the cursor over the devices to see which ones are in the path...headphone output won't bethe only the soundcard analog or digital options
[16:44] <BluesKaj> headphone output won't be there
[16:44] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, phonon command not found
[16:45] <IamTrying> What should i put in this output and input? still /dev/dsp? e.g: http://i.stack.imgur.com/7WPVw.png
[16:45] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, output and input field remain the same?
[16:46] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, kmenu>apps>settings>system settings/>multimedia>phonon
[16:48] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, just noticed . you're on gnome ...go ask in #ubuntu
[16:48] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, phonon: command not found $yum -y install phonon; // Package phonon-4.5.0-2.fc15.i686 already installed and latest version
[16:50] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, your on ubuntu , this is kubuntu support , ask in #ubuntu...since you can't follow my suggestions
[16:53] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, you're running Fedora /gnome ...go ask in #fedora
[16:54] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, i am actually looking for linux answer. In linux how do you say the headphone and mic? /dev/dsp or /dev/mic1 or /dev/headphone1 or /dev/pci
[16:54] <BluesKaj> should have spotted that right off the bat ...a bit slow on the uptake
[16:55] <IamTrying> Because we are all linux. we speak same cli.
[16:55] <IamTrying> alsamixer does not worked for me.
[16:55] <BluesKaj> use F5 in alsamixer to see the headphone ctrls
[16:55] <IamTrying> What else you can use to dump the /dev/audio and mic?
[16:55] <szal> IamTrying: -> #fedora please
[16:55] <James147> IamTrying: yes but the details can change between distros... its best to ask on your distros channel..
[16:56] <Pici> or in ##linux
[16:56] <IamTrying> szal, James147 i have kubuntu in another pc, here i am using fedora as base.
[16:56] <Pici> IamTrying: Okay? I have windows on a computer, but I'm not going to ask in ##Windows about my Ubuntu problems.
[16:56] <szal> IamTrying: that would apply if you had the exact same problem on the other box, and then error msgs or screenshots from Fedora won't help
[16:57] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, alsamixer > F5 shows still no /dev/xyz....
[16:57] <Pici> IamTrying: Fedora support is offtopic here.  period.
[16:57] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, here is F5 http://i.imgur.com/UNCDa.png
[16:57] <BluesKaj> alsamixer is pretty universal, but he just doesn't get it ...not good at following suggestions ...probly been kicked from #fedora with that attitude
[16:58] <IamTrying> BluesKaj, sorry but its kubuntu i am running as base i use f15
[16:59] <BluesKaj> IamTrying, stop asking me questions , you are on fedora ...one more and you're on ignore
[17:01] <BluesKaj> Pici,  thanks

[19:55] <Macer> hello. i don't know why but for some reason my usb ports stopped working. at first i thought maybe the controller died out but i put a pci 2.0 card i had and they still don't work on the card even though i can see the card being detected in dmest
[19:55] <Macer> does anybody have any ideas?
[19:56] <Macer>  /var/log/messages is also not detecting devices being plugged into the controller
[19:56] <Macer> i tried all types of devices. i have no idea what happened but all of a sudden usb just stopped working
[20:02] <Macer> ugh. let me boot onto the windows drive and see if it works tere
[20:02] <Macer> this is so lame
[20:06] <cher> What's the best way to check if a pckg is installed? Is "apt-cache policy pckg-name" good? Is there a better way?
[20:06] <cher> (Ideal would be something that sets $?, apt-cache doesn't.)
[20:07] <BluesKaj> or look in the package manager , cher
[20:08] <cher> Isn't apt-cache policy the look in the package manager? Or what do you mean?
[20:09] <BluesKaj> cher, if you don't have the exact name correct in the policy command , it won't show
[20:10] <cher> I have the correct name. I can do apt-cache policy pckg-name | grep "Installed: pckg-name" to get $? set properly, but I'd like a solution which doesn't involve a pipe.
[20:11] <cher> My use case is a java program that uses javax.smartcardio. For that to work, pcscd has to be running as root, and libpcsclite-dev has to be installed. I want to check if these conditions are met, and if not, offer the user an interface to establish these preconditions.
[20:17] <danni_> how do i install skype for kubuntu
[20:17] <e_t_> danni_: sudo apt-get install skype
[20:18] <cher> e_t_: I thought that, too, but I tried before I wanted to post, and actually for 11.04, sudo apt-get install skype will not do.
[20:20] <cher> danni_: http://www.kubuntuguide.info/index.php/Natty#Skype contains information on how to install Skype on kubuntu 11.04.
[20:21] <BluesKaj> skype is best installe from the skype site , choose the linux/ubuntu version , danni_
[20:22] <danni_> does not open with package manager
[20:25] <BluesKaj> cher you lost me on that last post about java, but both pcscd and libpcsclite-dev are available in the repos if you have all of them enabled including other software
[20:27] <cher> BluesKaj: I know, I got them installed myself easily. I'm a software author, my piece of software shall check if libpcsclite-dev is installed, so I currently run apt-cache policy libpcsclite-dev from Java and parse its output.
[20:27] <cher> But instead of parsing its output, I'd like to get something that simply indicates with the return code ($? in bash terms) whether or not a pckg is installed.
[20:30]  * BluesKaj nods , but has no idea , unless apt-cache search might show someting
[20:30] <mr-rich> Correct me if I'm wrong,  but kubuntu & ubuntu share the same core, yes?
[20:32] <areichman> mr-rich: that's correct
[20:34] <BluesKaj> mr-rich, the desktops and apps are different but will run on each other's installs
[20:35] <mr-rich> BluesKaj: so, say I plug in a USB device, it should work the same on both, correct?
[20:36] <BluesKaj> well, mr-rich that's theory , in practice it's more complicated with Hardware, unfortunately
[20:37] <BluesKaj> i spoke about apps and desktops btw , not hardware
[20:38] <mr-rich> BluesKaj: I have an iPhone. On the laptop (running ubuntu), I can see all of the files and play music.. on the desktop (kubuntu), all I can get to is the camera ...
[20:38] <mr-rich> BluesKaj: both running 11.04
[20:39] <mr-rich> BluesKaj: what would the difference be?
[20:43] <BluesKaj> ubuntu interfaces are more suited to your phone ...unfortunately kde lags in HW dev with mobile devices
[20:43] <BluesKaj> mr-rich, ^
[20:52] <D-coy> m4v, ping
[21:06] <BluesKaj> !aptlock
[21:32] <andrewx> Does anyone know how to clear the /media cache? When U change dvd's it wants to remember previous contents! its annoying!
[21:40] <PandaBoy> Does anyone know the official Ubuntu IRC channel?
[21:42] <e_t_> PandaBoy: #ubuntu
[21:43] <PandaBoy> e_t_: that doesn't work
[21:44] <e_t_> Really? I've got that channel open right now.
[21:44] <lcb> PandaBoy: type /join #ubuntu
[21:46] <lcb> np, i get paid by tips
[21:46] <PandaBoy> @lcb that only created a new channel (@ubuntu) with only me on...
[21:46] <PandaBoy> Odd
[21:47] <szal> PandaBoy: clean your glasses ;)
[21:47] <lcb> PandaBoy: copy and past this to the box where you are writing in /join #ubuntu
[21:47] <lcb> make sure # is # and not € or $
[21:48] <lcb> :P
[21:48] <lcb> PandaBoy: by the way, write it here, not somewhere else. probably you have more than 1 network open
[21:50] <szal> lcb: he just joined over there the 3rd time ;)
[21:50] <lcb> :)
[21:50] <PandaBoy> Okay, it's working now. Except when I do it with F7 (Quick Connect).
[21:50] <andrewx> no one understands how to clear /media cache?
[21:51] <lcb> wow PandaBoy. Quassel?
[21:52] <lcb> andrewx: i'm not sure about /media specifically. unmounting the device?!...
[21:53] <andrewx> 'releasing' the disc should do it; it doesn't
[21:53] <lcb> yeap
[21:53] <lcb> it should indeed
[21:53] <andrewx> its actually remembering directories, etc
[21:54] <lcb> probably that device is not properly configured, think about that option...
[21:54] <andrewx> theres always a trick in terminal ;-)
[21:55] <andrewx> just need to find it!
[21:55] <lcb> kill it kill it
[21:55] <andrewx> a reset command for /media, media-devices?
[21:56] <lcb> andrewx: hmmm don't know anything else besides turning off the fuse switch
[21:56] <lcb> j/k
[21:57] <lcb> andrewx: try #ubuntu to tweak what's going on in there. maybe someone will help doing that.
[21:59] <andrewx> okie
[21:59] <lcb> that's more a 11.04 specific matter than #kubuntu, i believe. and who knows, you have a bug in there.
[22:00] <lcb> or corrupted file, or cd spinning the other wAY AROUND
[22:00] <lcb> OOps, cops, i mean caps, i mean turning off caps before cops arrive
[22:20] <DoctorPepper> hi guys!!!
[22:20] <DoctorPepper> can anyone  tell me how to make  strigi  run ,  cause  in systemsettings it says   Strigi service  not  running  eventhough the strigi indexing checkbox  is checked  ?
[22:34] <v1z_> I installed kubuntu-full but I had to use gdm.. kdm doesnt start the windows management
[22:34] <v1z_> is that well known?
[22:44] <jonny_nabb> wb matt
[22:47] <BluesKaj> v1z_, install kubuntu-desktop
[22:48] <BluesKaj> bbl
[22:48] <v1z_> BluesKaj:  tx! but that *beyond* kubuntu-full?
[22:48] <v1z_> kubuntu-full is a misleading name
[22:48] <v1z_> but cool
[22:49] <jonny_nabb> wb matt
[22:49] <jonny_nabb> is this just a support portal
[22:50] <jonny_nabb> i was huge on irc before msn fb etc
[22:50] <jonny_nabb> was looking for lowjack chat
[22:51] <jonny_nabb> This channel is logged. Use of this channel implies acceptance
[22:51] <jonny_nabb> lol
[23:21] <cher> vim with syntax highlighting in transparent konsole in front of dragonfly  playing Tron: Legacy on a 50" Plasma just is a sweet sensation :)
[23:24] <cher> Plus, when I connected the HDMI cable to my laptop, a nice dialog popped up, allowing for multi-screen configuration without restarting X - very nice! (You see, I don't uprgade so often)
[23:37] <LINKSWORD2> Hey guys, can I configure KMail to receive my Hotmail email account?
[23:39] <OerHeks> LINKSWORD2, yes, only if hotmail supports pop3 or smtp
[23:45] <LINKSWORD2> I may need help with that... >.>
[23:48] <OerHeks> i cant help you with that, i don't use hotmail
[23:50] <e_t_> LINKSWORD2: Hotmail uses POP3. The server names are pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com. You can get the details from Hotmail's online help.
[23:53] <OerHeks> Gmail needs pop3 enabled in preferences, maybe same issue with hotmail/live ?
[23:54] <LINKSWORD2> e_t_: Would you allow me to query?
[23:54] <mranima> is there anyone using the Amazon downloader?
[23:56] <e_t_> LINKSWORD2: OK
