Thank you for your help === OMaxis is now known as Omaxis-AFK [01:46] 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] IME?

[02:01] it doesnt give me an option to upgrade [02:02] !upgrade | unknown212__ [02:02] unknown212__: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [02:05] why was kdirstat removed from kubuntu's repos? [02:07] 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] 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] allquixotic ☠ is there a good alternative? i wasn't seeing any probs with the latest stable version of kdirstat [02:09] BullShark: quick google, http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3116549.0 [02:09] ubotuu doesnt work [02:09] allquixotic: what's an IME? [02:10] szal: input method editor. [02:10] unknown212__: "doesn't work" is NOT a precise error description [02:10] 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] 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] allquixotic: just use an appropriate keyboard layout (can be selected from Systemsettings) [02:11] szal: I figured it out already, but thanks [02:14] 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] 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] ok [02:15] more precise [02:15] when i check my updates it never shows me an upgrade [02:16] 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] 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] szal it usually gives me an upgrade notice in kpackagekit [02:18] but i get nothing even know i know there is higher version [02:18] 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] If I recall, that number is either 5 or 10 minutes [02:18] 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] 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] 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] try it: do something that causes a wallet authentication, then type the password, then look in the system tray [02:20] Bynw: I found another way to do it [02:21] install the kwalletmanager package [02:21] then start kwalletmanager and go to Settings -> Configure Wallet [02:21] k that is installed [02:21] there's your lockout timer, etc settings [02:21] also a checkbox to disable it [02:21] all without removing any packages :) [02:22] ok [02:22] i'll give that a shot and try it out [02:22] i mean i used to get upgrade notices now nothing [02:22] thanks [02:22] bbl [02:22] and there is two versions ahead now [02:22] unknown212__: you may have to go to the console and run `update-manager -d' [02:25] ok let me try [02:26] it says its not installed [02:28] so whatd does that do and what does that mean [02:48] 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] you should be able to update to natty or maverick from there [02:50] ok [02:50] im a nix user * [03:06] Hello :D [03:07] 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] Anyone have a free minute to answer a question??

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] 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] is your /tmp full? [08:05] My root partition has ample space left [08:05] That's where /tmp is located [08:06] hmmm [08:06] Carnage__: does /tmp .ICE-unix exist? [08:06] Carnage__: does /tmp/.ICE-unix exist? [08:07] Yes, the socket file in there exists as well [08:07] And changing access rights does not help either [08:10] I'd logout of X and into a tty and remove it then try an X environment again Carnage__ [08:11] I rebooted several times already, but I'll try that [08:11] it's my best guess from here [08:13] Does not help either, I'll reboot once more... [08:18] from here - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=508975 - /tmp/.ICE/unix is directory for the X session Carnage__ [08:18] so rebooting isn't necessary just restart X [08:18] I'd check the X log and .xsession-errors === Thorsten_ is now known as TE_ [08:36] 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 ?

[09:02] ikonia ok. how to see error file? ill use boot cd [09:02] 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] try to sign in back to text ? [09:03] 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] ikonia ok. so what should i do [09:05] rubyy: I need you to confirm if your system is hung or not [09:05] it was hung. with keyboard lights blinking on off [09:06] rubyy: ok - that ties in. Do you know how to boot into "recovery" mode from the grub menu ? [09:08] yes [09:08] rubyy: can you do that please [09:09] ikonia btw i have booted from live cd. and its good.

[09:16] 3.) can you see if you have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:16] rubyy: ok - so if this is happening on multiple identical machines it suggests there is a hardware incompatability with those machines [09:16] ikonia first tell me what option to choose at rec mode [09:16] rubyy: what option ? [09:17] nevermind [09:18] how to locate .org.conf [09:18] rubyy: its in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:18] k [09:19] i dont have it [09:20] 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] i have xorg.conf.failsafe [09:20] k [09:20] rubyy: that's fine, don't worry about .failsafe [09:20] rubyy: are you comfortable doing something that may damage your install ?

[16:42] and type synaptiks [16:42] you ll get module for configuration [16:42] Nothing is showing up [16:43] err [16:43] I don't think it installed the right packages or something [16:43] and I can't find them. [16:43] go in system settings [16:43] and in subsection devices [16:43] Ok [16:43] Subsection devices? === areichman_ is now known as areichman [16:44] yes you have icon [16:44] and down of it is written devices [16:45] http://www.abload.de/img/20110718_syssettt83g.png [16:45] like here [16:45] input devices [16:46] Yours is different [16:46] http://imgkk.com/i/f0j3.png [16:46] Do I have the wrong version of Kubuntu...? [16:46] :o [16:46] I'm using 10.04 LTE [16:46] LTS* [16:46] huh [16:47] it is deffinitly different [16:47] it is kde 4.4.2 [16:47] :S [16:48] i forget how it looked like [16:48] IS there a newer version? [16:49] of kde? [16:49] some 10 newer stable releases [16:49] :) [16:49] Geh [16:50] actual kde is 4.6.5 [16:50] you could upgrade to 4.5.3 in lucid [16:50] afaik [16:50] !info kdebase-bin lucid [16:50] kdebase-bin (source: kdebase): core binaries for the KDE 4 base module. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 290 kB, installed size 1324 kB [16:51] 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] So it might have been old-ish [16:51] How do I update KDE? [16:51] look here http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-release-day-453-1004 [16:52] but keep in mind that it is semi officila ppa [16:52] *official [16:52] TKLeader, do you have synaptiks installed , it's a gui app with touchpad/KB/mouse options [16:52] I don't think so - and I have been looking for a way to install it. [16:53] i'll try and keep that PPA alive with security patches now and then, but it won't be quick [16:53]
