allquixoticHi, I'm running Kubuntu 11.04 with latest KDE 4.6.x bugfix release (from Kubuntu PPA). I'd like to enable Spanish language IME in both KDE4, plain Qt4, and GTK2/Gnome2 applications. Can I do this from KDE control center, or where? The kind of IME I'm looking for can unfortunately be compared to Windows: to make an accented character, you'd type e.g. 'a to produce á and so on.01:46

Bynwhi, recently retrying KDE (since i dont like Gnome3 or Unity) ... but i really dont like the KWallet app either ... i uninstalled it but if i login under a guest login, the kwallet comes back .. how do i totally remove it?02:01
unknown212__it doesnt give me an option to upgrade02:01

ubottuunknown212__: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade02:02
BullSharkwhy was kdirstat removed from kubuntu's repos?02:05
allquixoticBullShark: it looks like kdirstat is a very old program, the news site was last updated 2006... most likely it still runs on KDE3/Qt302:07
allquixoticif there's no Qt4/KDE4 port, don't expect it to stick around forever. you wouldn't expect us to support Qt2 or Qt1.0 programs today, would you?02:07
BullSharkallquixotic ☠ is there a good alternative? i wasn't seeing any probs with the latest stable version of kdirstat02:09

allquixoticszal: input method editor.02:10
szalunknown212__: "doesn't work" is NOT a precise error description02:10
Bynwhow do i completely remove kwallet from my system? it is gone from my login but not the guest login that i have for others to use my computer02:10
mark__Hey. I'm trying to turn on the "Disable touchpad while typing" feature but can't figure out how... Anyone able to help me out?02:10
szalallquixotic: just use an appropriate keyboard layout (can be selected from Systemsettings)02:10
allquixoticszal: I figured it out already, but thanks02:11
allquixoticBynw: kwallet is a keyring provider; anything that depends on keyring functionality will fail to work without a keyring provider. this can lead to apps not working or crashing, or automatically failing authentication without even asking you for a password (Firefox or Chrome's saved passwords for example). Are you sure you want to do that?02:14
allquixoticthere is no `kwallet' package. It's integrated into the core KDE libs, I believe. surgically extracting it without breaking any apps would probably require invasive code changes and rebuilding all applications that depend on a keyring provider.02:14
unknown212__ok02:15
unknown212__more precise02:15
unknown212__when i check my updates it never shows me an upgrade02:15
Bynwso how do you get it so it doesn't pop up for everything you do .... the gnome keyring provider doesn't do that02:16
allquixoticBynw: the default behavior, I think, is for kwallet to only leave itself open for a certain number of minutes, after which the wallet "closes" and you have to re-authenticate again if you need keyring services after the timeout.02:17
unknown212__szal it usually gives me an upgrade notice in kpackagekit02:18
unknown212__but i get nothing even know i know there is higher version02:18
allquixoticthis is a security feature to reduce the attack surface of someone gaining access to your computer (physical, over the network, etc) and using your keyring to authenticate as you.02:18
allquixoticIf I recall, that number is either 5 or 10 minutes02:18
allquixoticso if you use your keyring very frequently it should stay open, but if you use it once every 10 minutes then you'll have to keep typing your password02:18
Bynwi find it very annoying. especially for the guest login, they cant access the internet when i tell the wireless to connect automatically, it doesnt want to because of kwallet02:19
allquixoticthere used to be a system tray applet when the wallet was open, and you could right-click and change settings or disable the lockout timer02:19
allquixotictry it: do something that causes a wallet authentication, then type the password, then look in the system tray02:20
allquixoticBynw: I found another way to do it02:20
allquixoticinstall the kwalletmanager package02:21
allquixoticthen start kwalletmanager and go to Settings -> Configure Wallet02:21
Bynwk that is installed02:21
allquixoticthere's your lockout timer, etc settings02:21
allquixoticalso a checkbox to disable it02:21
allquixoticall without removing any packages :)02:21
Bynwok02:22
Bynwi'll give that a shot and try it out02:22
unknown212__i mean i used to get upgrade notices now nothing02:22
Bynwthanks02:22
Bynwbbl02:22
unknown212__and there is two versions ahead now02:22
allquixoticunknown212__: you may have to go to the console and run `update-manager -d'02:22
unknown212__ok let me try02:25
unknown212__it says its not installed02:26
unknown212__so whatd  does that do and what does that mean02:28
allquixoticunknown212__: when you start the update manager normally, it's like running update-manager without the -d switch. the -d switch tells it explicitly that it should try to do a distro upgrade02:48
allquixoticyou should be able to update to natty or maverick from there02:49
unknown212__ok02:50

AndrewS17Hello :D03:06
allquixoticunknown212__: If that's so, then you should know about `man' or at least running --help with a command. Either of those would get you all the info you need on what the -d switch does for update-manager.03:07

Carnage__Hey guys. Starting this morning, I've been having serious issues with my (K)ubuntu 11.04. Several programs do not start anymore, clicking the K-Menu butto does not work anymore, etc. For example, Firefox does not start anymore. When I start it with strace, I see that its last action is to try to read from a socket in /tmp/.ICE-unix and there it hangs08:04
Carnage__Since I also got a few messages that programs cannot connect to localhost, I assumed it to be a network problem. However, I can ping localhost and also remote URLs...08:04
valorieis your /tmp full?08:04
Carnage__My root partition has ample space left08:05
Carnage__That's where /tmp is located08:05
valoriehmmm08:06
well_laid_lawnCarnage__: does /tmp .ICE-unix exist?08:06
well_laid_lawnCarnage__: does /tmp/.ICE-unix exist?08:06
Carnage__Yes, the socket file in there exists as well08:07
Carnage__And changing access rights does not help either08:07
well_laid_lawnI'd logout of X and into a tty and remove it then try an X environment again Carnage__08:10
Carnage__I rebooted several times already, but I'll try that08:11
well_laid_lawnit's my best guess from here08:11
Carnage__Does not help either, I'll reboot once more...08:13
well_laid_lawnfrom here - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=508975 - /tmp/.ICE/unix is directory for the X session Carnage__08:18

bobweaverback in gui ?09:02
rubyyikonia ok. how to see error file? ill use boot cd09:02
ikoniarubyy: the reason I'm asking is the phrase kernel panic - that should normally hang the system, so I'm trying to get an understanding of your current state to then advise you of options09:02
bobweavertry to sign in back to text ?09:02
ikoniarubyy: the fact that it's suggesting a back trace on the kernel also suggests it's hung, I just need you to confirm/reject that09:03
rubyyikonia ok. so what should i do09:05
ikoniarubyy: I need you to confirm if your system is hung or not09:05
rubyyit was hung. with keyboard lights blinking on off09:05

rubyyi have used multiple live cds (different downloaded iso )on multiple identical machines. same errors .09:16
ikonia3.) can you see if you have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf09:16
ikoniarubyy: ok - so if this is happening on multiple identical machines it suggests there is a hardware incompatability with those machines09:16
rubyyikonia first tell me what option to choose at rec mode09:16

wtfman_could be, it was a RMA, but they didnt repair it, just traded me another card20:24
wtfman_i even have problems with standard clock settings in windows20:24
wtfman_i have written a mail to the manufacturer, they have written an email that every card is tested before shipping and it could have only been caused by transport. bla blub..20:25
wtfman_not sure how well they test the card. I have the fear that they wont find the error, when I send the card in :)20:25
