[00:15] <latagore> e_t_: Sorry for the late reply. I only vaguely understand what you mean but it is okay. Thank you for your help
[01:46] <allquixotic> Hi, 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.
[01:51] <szal> IME?
[01:54] <BullShark> what happened to kdirstat in 11.04?
[01:55] <szal> what's that?
[02:00] <unknown212__> having an error while trying to update version from 10.04
[02:00] <unknown212__> codename lucid
[02:00] <unknown212__> need some help
[02:01] <Bynw> hi, 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 upgrade
[02:02] <szal> !upgrade | unknown212__
[02:05] <BullShark> why was kdirstat removed from kubuntu's repos?
[02:07] <allquixotic> BullShark: it looks like kdirstat is a very old program, the news site was last updated 2006... most likely it still runs on KDE3/Qt3
[02:07] <allquixotic> if 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?
[02:09] <BullShark> allquixotic ☠ is there a good alternative? i wasn't seeing any probs with the latest stable version of kdirstat
[02:09] <allquixotic> BullShark: quick google, http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3116549.0
[02:09] <unknown212__> ubotuu doesnt work
[02:09] <szal> allquixotic: what's an IME?
[02:10] <allquixotic> szal: input method editor.
[02:10] <szal> unknown212__: "doesn't work" is NOT a precise error description
[02:10] <Bynw> how 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 computer
[02:10] <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] <szal> allquixotic: just use an appropriate keyboard layout (can be selected from Systemsettings)
[02:11] <allquixotic> szal: I figured it out already, but thanks
[02:14] <allquixotic> Bynw: 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] <allquixotic> there 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.
[02:15] <unknown212__> ok
[02:15] <unknown212__> more precise
[02:15] <unknown212__> when i check my updates it never shows me an upgrade
[02:16] <Bynw> so how do you get it so it doesn't pop up for everything you do .... the gnome keyring provider doesn't do that
[02:17] <allquixotic> Bynw: 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.
[02:18] <unknown212__> szal it usually gives me an upgrade notice in kpackagekit
[02:18] <unknown212__> but i get nothing even know i know there is higher version
[02:18] <allquixotic> this 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] <allquixotic> If I recall, that number is either 5 or 10 minutes
[02:18] <allquixotic> so 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 password
[02:19] <Bynw> i 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 kwallet
[02:19] <allquixotic> there used to be a system tray applet when the wallet was open, and you could right-click and change settings or disable the lockout timer
[02:20] <allquixotic> try it: do something that causes a wallet authentication, then type the password, then look in the system tray
[02:20] <allquixotic> Bynw: I found another way to do it
[02:21] <allquixotic> install the kwalletmanager package
[02:21] <allquixotic> then start kwalletmanager and go to Settings -> Configure Wallet
[02:21] <Bynw> k that is installed
[02:21] <allquixotic> there's your lockout timer, etc settings
[02:21] <allquixotic> also a checkbox to disable it
[02:21] <allquixotic> all without removing any packages :)
[02:22] <Bynw> ok
[02:22] <Bynw> i'll give that a shot and try it out
[02:22] <unknown212__> i mean i used to get upgrade notices now nothing
[02:22] <Bynw> thanks
[02:22] <Bynw> bbl
[02:22] <unknown212__> and there is two versions ahead now
[02:22] <allquixotic> unknown212__: you may have to go to the console and run `update-manager -d'
[02:25] <unknown212__> ok let me try
[02:26] <unknown212__> it says its not installed
[02:28] <unknown212__> so whatd  does that do and what does that mean
[02:48] <allquixotic> unknown212__: 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 upgrade
[02:49] <allquixotic> you should be able to update to natty or maverick from there
[02:50] <unknown212__> ok
[02:50] <unknown212__> im a nix user *
[03:06] <AndrewS17> Hello :D
[03:07] <allquixotic> unknown212__: 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] <AndrewS17> Anyone have a free minute to answer a question??
[03:07] <allquixotic> and if you're more familiar with the CLI than GUI, try: man aptitude
[03:07] <allquixotic> !ask | AndrewS17

[06:01] <bluegraxxon> Hello, I need help with a huge font issue for Kubuntu 11.4.
[06:02] <bluegraxxon> I'm new to linux and would really like to get away from Windows.
[06:10] <bluegraxxon> The forums seem to suggest that this is some kind of ghost bug that cannot be pinned down.
[06:18] <bluegraxxon> Is anyone able to help me, or should I try again during more normal hours?
[07:48] <ct529> hi! What do you use to dynamically read rss feeds? The onlye thing I was able to find is RSSnow, but it is slow nd not very dynamic, notwithstanding a veyr fast connection.

[08:04] <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 hangs
[08:04] <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] <valorie> is your /tmp full?
[08:05] <Carnage__> My root partition has ample space left
[08:05] <Carnage__> That's where /tmp is located
[08:06] <valorie> hmmm
[08:06] <well_laid_lawn> Carnage__: does /tmp .ICE-unix exist?
[08:06] <well_laid_lawn> Carnage__: does /tmp/.ICE-unix exist?
[08:07] <Carnage__> Yes, the socket file in there exists as well
[08:07] <Carnage__> And changing access rights does not help either
[08:10] <well_laid_lawn> I'd logout of X and into a tty and remove it then try an X environment again Carnage__
[08:11] <Carnage__> I rebooted several times already, but I'll try that
[08:11] <well_laid_lawn> it's my best guess from here
[08:13] <Carnage__> Does not help either, I'll reboot once more...
[08:18] <well_laid_lawn> from here - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=508975 - /tmp/.ICE/unix is directory for the X session Carnage__
[08:18] <well_laid_lawn> so rebooting isn't necessary just restart X
[08:18] <well_laid_lawn> I'd check the X log and .xsession-errors
[08:36] <rubyy> hey bros,  i have installed kubuntu.  and on first boot. it crashed (gets held with a black screen)  .. it happens before the big K icon is loaded. help ?
[08:47] <well_laid_lawn> something with your video driver I guess - is there a /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?
[08:49] <rubyy> while using x . it says.  kernel panic. not syning: fatal exception in interupt. pid 1874 com: virtuoso-t tainted : G .. call trace. blba bla bla .panic ouccured. switching back to text mode.         key board numlock and caps blinking .
[08:50] <bobweaver> how to make the desktop widget come back ?
[08:51] <bobweaver> the one that is there right after install
[08:53] <bobweaver> rubyy: you are trying to install
[08:53] <rubyy> bobweaver i have installed
[08:54] <bobweaver> it just wont boot
[08:57] <rubyy> it boots but at the k icon . while loading desktop. it goes back to text mode
[08:58] <ikonia> rubyy: is the machine hung ?
[08:59] <bobweaver> rubyy: fsck -y /where/ever/
[09:00] <ikonia> why fsck ?
[09:00] <bobweaver> to fix the hard drive >?
[09:00] <ikonia> why do you think there is a problem with the hard disk ?
[09:01] <bobweaver> if it is installed and it boots then he gets a infrafs or however you spell it
[09:01] <bobweaver> lets get deep with it
[09:01] <ikonia> look at the error
[09:01] <ikonia> bobweaver: fsck randomly is not "getting deep"
[09:01] <bobweaver> in text mode do a
[09:01] <rubyy> ikonia it might. iam not sure
[09:02] <bobweaver> sudo /ect/init.d/kdm restart
[09:02] <bobweaver> back in gui ?
[09:02] <rubyy> ikonia ok. how to see error file? ill use boot cd
[09:02] <ikonia> rubyy: 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 options
[09:02] <bobweaver> try to sign in back to text ?
[09:03] <ikonia> rubyy: the fact that it's suggesting a back trace on the kernel also suggests it's hung, I just need you to confirm/reject that
[09:05] <rubyy> ikonia ok. so what should i do
[09:05] <ikonia> rubyy: I need you to confirm if your system is hung or not
[09:05] <rubyy> it was hung. with keyboard lights blinking on off
[09:06] <ikonia> rubyy: ok - that ties in. Do you know how to boot into "recovery" mode from the grub menu ?
[09:08] <rubyy> yes
[09:08] <ikonia> rubyy: can you do that please
[09:09] <rubyy> ikonia btw i have booted from live cd. and its good.
[09:09] <rubyy> or should i go in recovery mode ?
[09:09] <ikonia> rubyy: the livecd is not your system, so that holds no value at this time
[09:09] <ikonia> rubyy: we can work from the livecd if you want
[09:09] <rubyy> ok.
[09:09] <ikonia> rubyy: do you know how to mount your hard disks's file system ?
[09:09] <rubyy> so what should i do now
[09:10] <rubyy> ah never mind. ill go in recovery mode :)
[09:10] <rubyy> which option should i choose in rec mode
[09:10] <rubyy> repair packages. root shell ?
[09:11] <rubyy> iam in rec mode
[09:11] <ikonia> rubyy: ok, what video card do you have in your machine
[09:12] <rubyy> intel r 915g
[09:12] <ikonia> interesting, I didn't expect that
[09:12] <rubyy> standard vga adapter
[09:13] <rubyy> iam in rec mode. now
[09:13] <ikonia> rubyy: ok - a few questions
[09:13] <ikonia> rubyy: 1.) have you used any 3rd party repos or PPA's ?
[09:14] <rubyy> nop. i just installed kubuntu. and i havnt see my first desktop except once when i    startx on command line. that crashed too
[09:15] <ikonia> rubyy: ok - 2.) what version of kubuntu is this ?
[09:15] <rubyy> 11.04
[09:15] <rubyy> latest
[09:15] <rubyy> :)
[09:16] <rubyy> i have used multiple live cds (different downloaded iso )on multiple identical machines. same errors .
[09:16] <ikonia> 3.) can you see if you have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:16] <ikonia> rubyy: ok - so if this is happening on multiple identical machines it suggests there is a hardware incompatability with those machines
[09:16] <rubyy> ikonia first tell me what option to choose at rec mode
[09:16] <ikonia> rubyy: what option ?
[09:17] <rubyy> nevermind
[09:18] <rubyy> how to locate .org.conf
[09:18] <ikonia> rubyy: its in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:18] <rubyy> k
[09:19] <rubyy> i dont have it
[09:20] <ikonia> rubyy: ok - now I'm going to give you a command that "may" break your system, or it may tell us what the problem is, are you comfortable with that ?
[09:20] <rubyy> i have xorg.conf.failsafe
[09:20] <rubyy> k
[09:20] <ikonia> rubyy: that's fine, don't worry about .failsafe
[09:20] <ikonia> rubyy: are you comfortable doing something that may damage your install ?
[09:20] <rubyy> sure
[09:20] <ikonia> I'm assuming as you've never been able to use it there is nothing of value on there
[09:20]  * rubyy just cant control the passion
[09:21] <rubyy> cool
[09:21]  * rubyy thinks, isnt it a good idea to check log files
[09:21] <ikonia> rubyy: which log files do you suggest checking for a kernel panic ?
[09:22] <rubyy> ikonia sys log files. that have list of errors may be.?
[09:22] <ikonia> rubyy: go for it then, good luck
[09:22] <rubyy> no.. you proceed
[09:23] <rubyy> what command you were talking aboue
[09:23] <ikonia> no, it's fine, I've got other things to do
[09:23] <ikonia> good luck
[09:23] <rubyy> ikonia proceed
[09:23] <ikonia> rubyy: sorry, I'm off to do other things now
[09:24] <ikonia> good luck with your log files
[09:24] <rubyy> what if i say please
[09:24] <rubyy> :)
[09:24] <ikonia> rubyy: please don't push me in this channel too
[09:24] <ikonia> I'm not smiling
[09:24] <rubyy> ok
[09:24] <rubyy> btw, what was the command
[09:25] <ikonia> doesn't matter, check your logs
[09:27] <rubyy> are you a ubuntu user .(considered most nice in os people) or a guy with ego
[09:28] <rubyy> if 2 = true   then ikonia != ubuntu user
[09:29] <ikonia> rubyy: your attitude doesn't help
[09:29] <ikonia> rubyy: if you want nice help - you should consider how you speak to people and stop trying to wind them up, more so after you've been removed from one channel already
[09:30] <rubyy> i just suggested fsck. and that brang you inferiority complex
[09:30] <rubyy> * rubyy thinks, isnt it a good idea to check log files
[09:30] <rubyy> i just suggested log files*. and that brang you inferiority complex
[09:31] <rubyy> ikonia keep you help with you. i dont think you deserve to use ubuntu. or help
[09:31] <ikonia> rubyy: I was putting effort in to help you with clear consise info and research around your problem. it's up to you what you do

[12:41] <BajK> is there a way to revert back to Xine backend?
[12:41] <BajK> gstreamer sucks
[12:41] <BajK> on natty
[12:42] <FloodBotK2> BajK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:55] <BajK> okay, switched to VLC . dunno why all consider GStreamer the best back-end
[12:55] <BajK> it is SO damn buggy and VLC has a nice surround sound effect in it :D
[13:02] <szal> BajK: on KDE, use Xine backend.  Period. ;)
[13:03] <BajK> szal: tell this the Kubuntu guys -.-" but they seem to really like messing up working systems with beta software^^
[13:05] <szal> BajK: Systemsettings -> Multimedia -> Phonon -> Backend
[13:05] <BajK> I know but it is not installed by default anymore on natty :)
[13:05] <BajK> just installed it
[13:06] <BajK> ok so Xine does not work at all
[13:06] <szal> define 'does not work'
[13:12] <yofel> szal: xine backend is unmaintained since phonon 4.5, gstreamer should be used instead
[13:14] <rene_> ah, some nasty people at the ubuntu chanel with even nastier tips:)
[13:14] <rene_> i'll try here
[13:15] <szal> friggin' Gnome'ification..  imho, the GStreamer backend was inferior from day 1
[13:15] <szal> and whatever happened to the VLC backend?  was that dropped too?
[13:15] <rene_> I've switched my ide to ahci in bios. after that my (k)ubuntu want start up even if i plug in some usb stick
[13:15] <rene_> wont :)
[13:16] <szal> switch back?
[13:16] <yofel> szal: no, vlc should work too, gstreamer is just the recommended one currently
[13:16] <rene_> no, i like to have it at ahci mode
[13:16] <rene_> if i plug the stick all works fine and fast
[13:20] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:35] <ghani> my package not working on my kde
[14:40] <chachan> guys, any regex editor?
[14:47] <BluesKaj> chachan, try kiki
[14:48] <tsimpson> chachan: there is kodos, which is really for python regex but should be fine for non-python regex too
[14:49] <chachan> hm, I'm coding on python, I'll give it a try to both kiki and kodos :)
[14:55] <Ddpbf> vikapi: did you fix your problems?
[15:13] <ncfi1013> i have a very simple question...how do i get the sound to work in vlc...it worked yesterday...
[15:13] <Ddpbf> hav you upgrade it from some ppa?
[15:15] <ncfi1013> no it just came upgraded when i upgraded to the current kubuntu version...
[15:17] <Ddpbf> could you paste dpkg -l vlc
[15:17] <Ddpbf> *output of that command
[15:19] <BluesKaj> ncfi1013, are nyou ure it's vlc , do you have audio on youtube for example ?
[15:19] <Ddpbf> you could check if something is wrong with configuration files
[15:19] <BluesKaj> sure
[15:19] <Ddpbf> ~/.config/vlc
[15:20] <ncfi1013> http://pastebin.com/KxaNQinn
[15:20] <Ddpbf> ncfi1013: wich phonon dou you use? vlc or gstreamer?
[15:20] <ncfi1013> blueskaj...no audio on youtube
[15:21] <BluesKaj> I'll bet alsa main ctrl is muted
[15:21] <ncfi1013> ddpbf...gstreamer phonon
[15:22] <Ddpbf> first check what BluesKaj said
[15:22] <BluesKaj> open alsamixer in a terminal and make sure all ctrls are up
[15:22] <Ddpbf> open konsole and type alsamixer
[15:23] <BluesKaj> well, relavent ctrls at least
[15:26] <ncfi1013> master: 100, master m: 100, pcm: 65, surround: 0, center: 100, lfe: 0, line: 0, cd: 65, mic: 0...
[15:27] <Ddpbf> ncfi1013: you have system sounds?
[15:27] <ncfi1013> yes...
[15:27] <Ddpbf> and you could listen music in amarok
[15:27] <Ddpbf> watch vids in dragon player?
[15:28] <ncfi1013> no on the dragonplayer question...
[15:28] <Ddpbf> huh?
[15:28] <Ddpbf> you could not watch vids?
[15:29] <BluesKaj> nc  type alsamixer -V all , that will increase all ctlvols , or just use the arrow keys to navigate and move the ctls up and down
[15:29] <Ddpbf> but you could listen music?
[15:30] <ncfi1013> cant listen to music either...
[15:30] <Ddpbf> witch music server dou you use?
[15:31] <Ddpbf> pusle or audio?
[15:31] <Ddpbf> go in system settings->multimedia->phonon
[15:33] <Ddpbf> and see for every instance what are you yousing
[15:33] <Ddpbf> *using
[15:33] <ncfi1013> are you talking about the backend...?
[15:33] <Ddpbf> yes
[15:33] <Ddpbf> not
[15:33] <jimmy51_> i'm having keyboard key handler wackiness  in my 11.04 box.  it seems related to CPU usage.
[15:33] <Ddpbf> do you use pulse
[15:33] <Ddpbf> or alsa
[15:33] <jimmy51_> when cpu usage is high, i start having "dropped" keys and stuck keys rather often
[15:33] <ncfi1013> gstreamer...
[15:34] <jimmy51_> does anyone know of a solution?
[15:34] <Ddpbf> ncfi1013: i will post you picture to get idea
[15:34] <jimmy51_> it is maddening to try to code
[15:37] <ncfi1013> i have dummy, unix oss, alsa, pulseaudio and file audio output options...
[15:37] <ncfi1013> do any of those answer your question...
[15:39] <Ddpbf> you should select
[15:39] <Ddpbf> alsa or pulse
[15:39] <Ddpbf> also
[15:39] <Ddpbf> you should tell vlc wich output to use
[15:40] <Ddpbf> start it
[15:40] <BluesKaj> ncfi1013, what do you have at the top in device preference/music on phonon?
[15:40] <Ddpbf> than ctrl+P
[15:40] <Ddpbf> than audio tab, and select lets say alsa
[15:42] <ncfi1013> blueskaj...intel ich...
[15:43] <jimmy51_> this bug looks to be related:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194214
[15:43] <jimmy51_> if you scroll all the way to the bottom it's still hitting people.
[15:43] <jimmy51_> can someone make sense of the 4th post from the bottom for me?  it loks like that guy figured out a way to stop it
[15:44] <jimmy51_> "removed screensaver handling B.S. from xine-ui" ?
[15:45] <BluesKaj> ncfi1013, whatever device like dev=0 that shows when you hold the cursor over intelich in phonon should be the same as the device in vlc /tools prefernces/audio/device
[15:48] <ncfi1013> do i use s/pdif when available...?
[15:49] <BluesKaj> ncfi1013, I always do,  you can use a digital coax feed to an audio amp with that kind of setup as well
[15:52] <BluesKaj> the audio amp has to have digtal inputs
[15:53] <jimmy51_> sudo apt-get install keyboard-handler-that-works
[15:53] <BluesKaj> jimmy51_, good toi hear ...I had no clue how to help you
[15:53] <jimmy51_> haha
[15:53] <jimmy51_> that didn't work... i'm just frustrated.
[15:54] <BluesKaj> bummer
[15:54] <jimmy51_> this seems to be an obscure bug that hits some people very badly, but not enough to catch attention
[15:54] <BluesKaj> it's filed on launchpad tho ?
[15:54] <szal> jimmy51_: a bug from 2008?
[15:55] <jimmy51_> yeah.  was fixed and came back.  or new bug with same results.
[15:55] <jimmy51_>  can't type a single line of text withouttttttttttttttttttttttttttt a dropped key at the beginning of words or stuck keys
[15:55] <jimmy51_> (that dropped "I" at the beginning and stuck on the t)
[15:57] <BluesKaj> are your volume ctrls showing on the scrn when you try them ...I had a sismilar prob a week or 2 ago and it somehow got fixed
[15:57] <BluesKaj> dropping letters here and ther for no apparent reason
[15:58] <BluesKaj> see , some are still dropping
[15:58] <jimmy51_> hmm
[15:58] <jimmy51_> BluesKaj: you mean if i press a keyboard volume key?
[15:58] <BluesKaj> yes
[15:59] <jimmy51_> BluesKaj: first of all, i didn't ever notice i had them until now :).  second, yeah, it seems to work fine.
[16:00] <jimmy51_> BluesKaj: maybe i should kill the volume control process and se if it's related
[16:00] <BluesKaj> jimmy51_, that's an indicatorto me that you're hafway there ...I had no vol ctrls at all with my problem , then fixed after an update, didn't notice which libs tho
[16:02] <jimmy51_> the only time i ever use the mixer is after a dist update when the levels get zero'd... if that takes care of it i will gladly ban kmix from my startup!
[16:04] <jimmy51_> BluesKaj: bah... didn't make a difference.
[16:05] <BluesKaj> jimmy51_, what KB islisted in system settings / input devices ?
[16:06] <jimmy51_> BluesKaj: i don't see a model listed... ust numlock on KDE startup and keyboard repeat settings. wrong place?
[16:08] <BluesKaj> kde>apps>settings>systemsettings/input devices
[16:08] <jimmy51_> BluesKaj: interesting.... i don't have an input devices item in system settings
[16:10] <BluesKaj> jimmy51_, it's in the hardware section
[16:12] <jimmy51_> i'll have to paste some screenshots. my system settings panel doesn't seem to have what yours does
[16:12] <jimmy51_> i've got a lunch meeting to get to... i'll paste them afterwards.  thanks for helping, btw.
[16:13] <BluesKaj> jimmy51_, which kubuntu ?

[16:39] <BluesKaj> TKLeader, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271052
[16:40] <Ddpbf> TKLeader: how about to check in option: automaticly switch on keyboard activity
[16:41] <Ddpbf> BluesKaj: this is option only if he has *xorg.conf*
[16:41] <Ddpbf> :)
[16:42] <TKLeader> Ddpbf, Where do I find that? This may seem like a bit of a stupid question, it's just that I'm legitimately having trouble finding it. Also, that thing BluesKaj sent didn't work.
[16:42] <Ddpbf> buntu 9.10 an newer does not came with it
[16:42] <Ddpbf> alt+f2
[16:42] <TKLeader> Then?
[16:42] <Ddpbf> and type synaptiks
[16:42] <Ddpbf> you ll get module for configuration
[16:42] <TKLeader> Nothing is showing up
[16:43] <Ddpbf> err
[16:43] <TKLeader> I don't think it installed the right packages or something
[16:43] <TKLeader> and I can't find them.
[16:43] <Ddpbf> go in system settings
[16:43] <Ddpbf> and in subsection devices
[16:43] <TKLeader> Ok
[16:43] <TKLeader> Subsection devices?
[16:44] <Ddpbf> yes you have icon
[16:44] <Ddpbf> and down of it is written devices
[16:45] <Ddpbf> http://www.abload.de/img/20110718_syssettt83g.png
[16:45] <Ddpbf> like here

[16:46] <TKLeader> Do I have the wrong version of Kubuntu...?
[16:46] <TKLeader> :o
[16:46] <TKLeader> I'm using 10.04 LTE
[16:46] <TKLeader> LTS*
[16:46] <Ddpbf> huh
[16:47] <Ddpbf> it is deffinitly different
[16:47] <Ddpbf> it is kde 4.4.2
[16:47] <TKLeader> :S
[16:48] <Ddpbf> i forget how it looked like
[16:48] <TKLeader> IS there a newer version?
[16:49] <Ddpbf> of kde?
[16:49] <Ddpbf> some 10 newer stable releases
[16:49] <Ddpbf> :)
[16:49] <TKLeader> Geh
[16:50] <Ddpbf> actual kde is 4.6.5
[16:50] <Ddpbf> you could upgrade to 4.5.3 in lucid
[16:50] <Ddpbf> afaik
[16:50] <szal> !info kdebase-bin lucid
[16:51] <TKLeader> ISounds like I just need to update this really badly. I installed this via a liveCD my pal got from Linux Fest NW.
[16:51] <TKLeader> So it might have been old-ish
[16:51] <TKLeader> How do I update KDE?
[16:51] <Ddpbf> look here http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-release-day-453-1004
[16:52] <Ddpbf> but keep in mind that it is semi officila ppa
[16:52] <Ddpbf> *official
[16:52] <BluesKaj> TKLeader, do you have synaptiks installed , it's a gui app with touchpad/KB/mouse options
[16:52] <TKLeader> I don't think so - and I have been looking for a way to install it.
[16:53] <shadeslayer> i'll try and keep that PPA alive with security patches now and then, but it won't be quick
[16:53] <BluesKaj> the kpackagekit should have it in the repos
[16:54] <BluesKaj> TKLeader, or open a terminal , sudo apt-get install synaptiks
[16:54] <TKLeader> I'm considering re-installing Kubuntu with a more recent disk
[16:55] <Ddpbf> BluesKaj: synaptiks is kcm module
[16:56] <Ddpbf> it comes with kde 4.5.0 and newer
[16:56] <BluesKaj> TKLeader, there's no new LTS version until 12.04 which is april 2012
[16:57] <TKLeader> I think I'll try 11.04. I'm not too worried about LTS seeing as I tend to swap between different distros fairly often
[16:57] <Ddpbf> TKLeader: as i said you could install 4.5.3 on lucid or to upgrade your kubuntu to natty
[16:58] <nico___> Hello !
[16:58] <Ddpbf> Helio :)
[16:58] <nico___> Distes, j'ai une petite question...
[16:58] <BluesKaj> TKLeader, or open a terminal , sudo apt-get install kde-config-touchpad
[16:58] <szal> !fr | nico___
[16:59] <nico___> english channel... ooop.. excuse me
[16:59] <TKLeader> "E: Couldn't find package kde-config-touchpad"
[16:59] <nico___> I can try in english... :)
[16:59] <BluesKaj> Ddpbf, no kcm modules in 10.10 ?
[16:59] <Ddpbf> synaptiks is available in 10.10
[16:59] <nico___> so... I need someting to capture video via USB.
[16:59] <Ddpbf> i think
[17:00] <Ddpbf> Maverick has KDE 4.5.1
[17:00] <Ddpbf> so it should came with system
[17:00] <BluesKaj> TKLeader, do you have all your repositories enabled? including other software
[17:01] <TKLeader> Wont even let me add repositories via a GUI I have to use terminal
[17:01] <TKLeader> I'm just gonna install 10.10 I think
[17:02] <BluesKaj> not adding ..just enable the the available ones
[17:02]  * BluesKaj shrugs
[17:02] <Ddpbf> Only repository for lucid wich has synaptiks kcm is kubuntu backports

[17:24] <EvilRoey> CHOO CHOO CHOO
[17:24] <FloodBotK2> EvilRoey: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:25] <razer> i screwed something up and now i can't use sudo ir su
[17:25] <EvilRoey> razer:  install 'sl' and then type it, for those times where you intended to type 'ls' but mis-typed 'sl' :)
[17:25] <EvilRoey> it's cute
[17:25] <Pici> !info sl

[17:26] <razer> szal:  was trying to run virtualbox but it had an owneership problem, i  ran "sudo chmod -R root:root /usr/" and now i cant use sudo or su
[17:27] <szal> razer: that cmd should've thrown an error and done nothing
[17:27] <Pici> Agreed.
[17:31] <razer> szal:  it was chown
[17:34] <razer> szal: it was sudo chown -R root:root /usr now i cant use sudo or su

[17:36] <Pici> You're going to have a lot more problems that just that.
[17:36] <Pici> razer: I suggest a backup and reinstall at this juncture.
[17:36] <razer> Pici:  is there no rescue mode?
[17:38] <Pici> razer: Its not going to fix something of this magnitude.  You've broken the permissions for a lot of your install.
[17:40] <Armi^> Hi all. I'm having troubles getting firefox to print through kprint. Could somebody make a screenshot (or pdf) of about:config with 'print' in filter???
[17:40] <jimmy51_> is it possible to update 10.04 to 11.04?
[17:40] <jimmy51_> (without a complete reinstall?)
[17:41] <Pici> jimmy51_: you'll need to go through 10.10 first.
[17:41] <jimmy51_> Pici: ok.  to do that, do i need to apt-get dist-upgrade?
[17:42] <jimmy51_> and it will automatically take me to 10.10?
[17:42] <Pici> jimmy51_: no
[17:42] <Pici> Thats not what dist-upgrade is for.
[17:42] <jimmy51_> Pici: ok.  wha'ts the command to trigger a version upgrade?
[17:42] <szal> !upgrade | jimmy51_
[17:44] <jimmy51_> szal: that has me use update-manager, which isn't installed.  is that a kubuntu safe app?
[17:44] <jimmy51_> (i don't want to clutter up if it's ubuntu specific)
[17:44] <Pici> You can use do-release-upgrade
[17:44] <jimmy51_> szal: nevermind... should have read more carefully.  there's a link to kubuntu specific at the bottom
[17:45] <jimmy51_> oh, i think i see my issue.  i had LTS only selected.
[17:46] <jimmy51_> i'm going to go for it.  seeya a few reboots later!
[17:47] <chachan> guys, any application like cclive?, but I just want to get the audio, not the entire video
[17:47] <chachan> I know there're some web-based application, but it would be better something from shell :)

[18:12] <BluesKaj> chachan, I think k9copy has an audio only for video/dvd . not sure about web based unless you download the video with youtube-dl or wget or curl , then use k9copy to extract the audio
[18:16] <seawolf> hi all,how to make a donation to kubuntu?
[18:17] <BluesKaj> www.kubuntu.org
[18:20] <Carnage\> I'm running Kubuntu 11.04 and I have a davfs2-Mount in my fstab, that is supposed to be mounted during startup. However, I regularly get a message that this mount cannot be performed because the network is not yet available. What is the common practice to make sure that this happens after upstart has configured the network interface?
[18:39] <chachan> BluesKaj, got it
[18:43] <BluesKaj> Carnage\,  does the server have a static IP that  can be added to hosts.allow with portmap
[18:44] <BluesKaj> chachan, which method ?
[18:45] <chachan> BluesKaj, I'm downloading the video with cclive and now I'm going to try to extract the audio using k9copy
[18:48] <chachan> looks like it only works for DVD images =/
[18:51] <Carnage\> BluesKaj: The WebDAV-Server? I already tried mounting it using an IP instead of the URL but then it gives me a certificate error.
[18:57] <BluesKaj> chachan, there's amethod to extract audio only witjh ffmpeg if you feel like browsing man ffmpeg in the konsole
[19:07] <BluesKaj> chachan, check this out  http://www.catonmat.net/blog/how-to-extract-audio-tracks-from-youtube-videos/
[19:07] <chachan> BluesKaj, hm, sure, I don't know why didn't think that before
[19:07] <BluesKaj> it does any kind of video not just flash/swf
[19:18] <chachan> BluesKaj, cool, it works great for me :)
[19:27] <BluesKaj> chachan,  glad to hear it :)
[20:03] <areichman> hello. I'm looking for some screencasting software for kubuntu. I tried recorditnow but it's not working. It might be because I have 2 monitors setup
[20:05] <preecher> recordmydesktop/desktop recorder gtk has always worked best for me but i cant say how it would do with 2 monitors
[20:17] <wtfman_> hola, i have a problem with my graphics card. I start kubuntu and it will crash after a couple of secs in the KDE
[20:18] <wtfman_> in windows I have the problem that it crashes when I use hardware acceleration in Firefox. However, at least it recovers after some time, but in Kubuntu total freeze
[20:18] <wtfman_> any ideas what could help?
[20:19] <wtfman_> I have reinstalled the card btw, it worked until I installed the driver
[20:23] <gomiboy> wtfman_: i fear your card is dieing... i had a similar problem the past week :(
[20:24] <wtfman_> could be, it was a RMA, but they didnt repair it, just traded me another card
[20:24] <wtfman_> i even have problems with standard clock settings in windows
[20:25] <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 :)
[20:26] <wtfman_> but back to topic, is there a way to disable desktop effects via terminal for KDE?
[20:31] <gomiboy> wtfman_: disabling the effects did nothing for me. I managed to start kde only removing nvidia drivers and using nouveau... so, no 3d but at least i can boot...
[20:32] <FelixTristis> dsaf
[20:32] <FelixTristis> Ohhia!
[20:48] <wtfman_> oh yea
[20:48] <wtfman_> display went gray without reason now. think  thats it :)
[20:51] <BluesKaj> wtfman_, which graphics card is it ?  and gomiboy if you are running a nvidia card there's no reson to use nouveau, nvidia-current should work, it's the recommended driver in joxkey
[20:51] <BluesKaj> err jockey
[20:52] <wtfman_> its radeon 4850
[20:54] <gomiboy> BluesKaj: my card (as wtfman_'s) is dieing... at least the 3d portion of it, so nouveau is my best choice
[20:57] <BluesKaj> gomiboy, do you "know" that it's dying ? errors etc or ... ?
[21:00] <gomiboy> BluesKaj: garbled text from bios till desktop, kde crashes with nvidia drivers, windows crashes as soon i install nvidia drivers, etc.... :)
[21:00] <BluesKaj> wtfman_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[21:02] <BluesKaj> gomiboy, is it a pci or integrated ?

[21:38] <bluegraxxon> Thanks for the tip, but I've scoured that site and haven't found anything regarding my issue.
[21:38] <bluegraxxon> I am new to Linux.

[21:41] <gribouille> ubuntu screwed my X configuration. now, the 1280x1024 screen resolution isn't available any more. what should I do ?
[21:43] <bluegraxxon> My next question is Linux related.  I recently installed Kubuntu 11.4 and after updating the Nvidia drivers all my fonts became huge.  I have fixed this by setting the DPI to 96, but the fonts are still huge on the user login screen.  I can live with this, but if there is a fix, I'd prefer that instead.  :P
[21:50] <erikdecker> hi i need a tad bit of halp
[21:51] <erikdecker> help. sprry
[21:51] <erikdecker> sorry
[21:51] <erikdecker> wow

[21:54] <erikdecker> so i have the sun java on kubuntu 11.04 natty
[21:54] <erikdecker> and every time i go to install something
[21:54] <erikdecker> it redownloads the sun-java6-bin
[21:55] <erikdecker> and then gives me an error that something went wrong
[21:55] <maco> when you installed it before, did you agree to the license on it?
[21:55] <maco> X'ing out without agreeing causes lovely loopy breakage
[21:55] <goodtime> heh
[21:56] <erikdecker> yes i did. ive tried reinstalling and the message never comes back up
[21:56] <erikdecker> the error is: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[22:00] <erikdecker> i just tried again and it says at the part with sun-java6-bin that: update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/ControlPanel doesn't exist.
[22:00] <erikdecker> dpkg: error processing sun-java6-bin (--configure):
[22:00] <erikdecker>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[22:02] <erikdecker> i looked at the location were it said and  inside the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/ floder there is nothing hence the error. how do i get that?
[22:04] <erikdecker> anyone
[22:14] <erikdecker> come on everyone just idles
[22:18] <chachan> erikdecker, update-alternatives --config java
[22:18] <erikdecker> its istalled and it works but it always installs the bin when i try to insatll anything.
[22:21] <chachan> I don't get it,  what do you mean "it always install the bin"?
[22:23] <erikdecker> i go to insatll something then after its done insatlling in KPackageKit it starts downloading sun-java6-bin after the others are downloaded then it starts to install the bin but it gets an error and stops the whole installation
[22:24] <chachan> erikdecker, hm, why don't you try from a shell?
[22:24] <erikdecker> it always links dependancies to it for some reason and still fails
[22:25] <chachan> erikdecker, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin
[22:25] <erikdecker> no that fails too
[22:25] <chachan> and paste the result. http://paste.kde.org/
[22:26] <chachan> ok, but show us the fail

[22:43] <chachan> erikdecker, of course, paste the result (same way)
[22:49] <u19809> hi all, since I use 11.04 i have nothing but kde problems.  E.g I cannot send emails I need to login twice because I have no focus the first time, I have DNS lookup issues  causing 25 seconds delay.  Seems my akonadi/nepomuk/dbus  servers are screwing up.  Is there any way I can run them in debug ?
[22:52] <erikdecker> aptitude does not work its outdated. any other way with apt?
[22:53] <chachan> erikdecker, do: aptitude update, it has to work
[22:53] <chachan> apt-cache search sun-java
[22:53] <chachan> but it's the same database
[22:53] <u19809> erikdecker : yes
[22:53] <chachan> so update it, apt-get update # or whatever you prefer ;)
[22:54] <erikdecker> http://paste.kde.org/98587/
[22:55] <chachan> oops, it doesn't show whose are installed. Use aptitude, sorry
