| chaitu | Greetings All. Am trying to change my desktop theme and when I choose a new theme, I dont get a option to apply it. Can someone help me please? | 02:01 |
| === ridin is now known as alphur | ||
| negaduck | chaitu: Sorry how are you changing the theme? | 03:02 |
| chaitu | system settings | 03:03 |
| chaitu | system settings -> advanced tab ->desktop theme details | 03:03 |
| negaduck | Right ok what did you change? | 03:04 |
| negaduck | chaitu: Just clicked on one of the options at the top or you went into more detail ? | 03:05 |
| chaitu | once i click on desktop theme details, it gives me new window which shows the current theme | 03:06 |
| chaitu | then I click on drop down box and try changing it | 03:06 |
| chaitu | it doesnt change anything | 03:06 |
| negaduck | chaitu: Ah what version of KDE are you using? | 03:07 |
| chaitu | one sec nega | 03:07 |
| chaitu | negaduck, * | 03:07 |
| chaitu | 4.3.5 | 03:07 |
| negaduck | oh | 03:07 |
| negaduck | oh my :) | 03:07 |
| chaitu | lol i know..pretty old | 03:08 |
| negaduck | Ok I'm using KDE 4.7 so I wouldn't be able to confirm or deny that | 03:08 |
| negaduck | are you on LTS? | 03:08 |
| chaitu | umnn sorry..whats lts? | 03:08 |
| chaitu | let me look up | 03:09 |
| chaitu | I know these silly questions might be irritating | 03:09 |
| chaitu | oh long term support? | 03:10 |
| chaitu | kde.org does not show any | 03:12 |
| chaitu | ah wb lol..thought you were around | 03:12 |
| chaitu | I don't see anything for 4.3.5 lts on kde.org.. | 03:13 |
| negaduck | !LTS | 03:13 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 03:13 |
| negaduck | DNS died | 03:13 |
| chaitu | yeah..I dont think its supported. | 03:14 |
| chaitu | will download latest version of this distro and install it I guess | 03:14 |
| chaitu | negaduck: one more question please. what do you do for your fonts on linux? I mean, browsing is not the same as on windows...is there any distro which has nice fonts in linux too? does kubuntu have any fix? | 03:15 |
| negaduck | !fonts | 03:15 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 03:15 |
| negaduck | chaitu: Might help if you have a /home partition for the jump | 03:16 |
| chaitu | wow looks like you guys have seen lot of newbies. nice thanks a ton | 03:16 |
| chaitu | I have home../home | 03:16 |
| negaduck | chaitu: is it on it's own partition? | 03:18 |
| chaitu | negaduck: once you implement whats written in that file, will fonts on browsers and websites look like windows? | 03:18 |
| chaitu | yes negaduck | 03:18 |
| chaitu | 17 gb of home | 03:18 |
| negaduck | chaitu: Wonderful :) | 03:19 |
| negaduck | not so much a newbie :) | 03:19 |
| chaitu | lol I played with this for sometime..like installing awn and those desktop effects apps..other than that..not much | 03:20 |
| negaduck | Neat how have you liked the playground so far? | 03:21 |
| chaitu | I like it...its just that my browsing experience is not up to the mark..like how it looks on linux.. | 03:22 |
| negaduck | chaitu: try chromium when you upgrade. It pulls in it's own fonts and so on | 03:22 |
| negaduck | but people like tweaking their own fonts alot | 03:22 |
| chaitu | after trying all that apps about desktop effects, I dont think I want them once I download the latest version of kbuntu..am good with default | 03:22 |
| chaitu | i see | 03:23 |
| chaitu | negaduck: if i can ask you one more question, I was suggested that we dont need /home partition and one large / will do just fine. is that true? I mean..every linux book has /home while installing that I read | 03:25 |
| rww | chaitu: I don't have a separate /home and have never regretted this, so... | 03:26 |
| chaitu | I see..but wouldnt your / folder has somany folders and confuse you with folders you create? like /pics, /music and so on? | 03:27 |
| chaitu | have* heh | 03:28 |
| negaduck | chaitu: You don't need it but I don't see a downside to having one | 03:28 |
| negaduck | chaitu: If you have a single / partition you will still have a /home directory | 03:29 |
| rww | chaitu: It looks the same either way. The difference with a separate /home is that /home goes to a different partition underneath. Pictures still go in /home/username/Pictures if there isn't a separate /home partition... | 03:29 |
| negaduck | it looks the same. Just if you format you lose all the data in your /home as well | 03:29 |
| rww | I think negaduck explained that better ;) | 03:29 |
| chaitu | ooh..I get it. cool | 03:29 |
| chaitu | and 10 gb for / is good enough, right? | 03:30 |
| negaduck | Should be | 03:32 |
| negaduck | I've never had mine that large and I've never run out of space | 03:32 |
| negaduck | and I install a ridiculous amount of rubbish | 03:32 |
| chaitu | I have mine as 5 now but it says no space to upgrade to the latest version | 03:32 |
| chaitu | 78% used..am not sure if all those desktop effect progs I installed did not take much space.. | 03:33 |
| chaitu | aight guys. I will download and install the latest version and come back. | 03:39 |
| chaitu | Thanks a bunch for your help. You guys really help newbies like me try things out. | 03:40 |
| chaitu | cheers | 03:40 |

| gigenieks | hi guys | 09:50 |
| gigenieks | if I want to install Windows AFTER Kubuntu | 09:51 |
| gigenieks | and i know that Kubuntu is on | 09:51 |
| gigenieks | sdc5 | 09:51 |
| gigenieks | then ---> | 09:51 |
| gigenieks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 09:52 |
| gigenieks | 5. step: | 09:52 |
| gigenieks | "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX" | 09:52 |
| gigenieks | i should put sda OR sdc?? | 09:52 |
| gigenieks | ... | 09:57 |
| yofel | gigenieks: usually you put grub into the MBR of the device that's used as boot disk in BIOS | 10:00 |
| yofel | usually sda | 10:00 |
| yofel | or put it on sdc and mark that as boot disk in BIOS | 10:00 |
| yofel | I personally am happier with grub and the windows boot manager being on 2 different disks | 10:01 |
| yofel | less error-prone | 10:01 |
| gigenieks | Im confused.. | 10:01 |
| gigenieks | ok, so - | 10:01 |
| gigenieks | I found Kubuntu partion | 10:02 |
| gigenieks | by | 10:02 |
| gigenieks | sudo fdisk -l | 10:02 |
| gigenieks | then I mount it by: | 10:02 |
| jussi | !enter | gigenieks | 10:02 |
| ubottu | gigenieks: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:02 |
| gigenieks | sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt | 10:02 |
| gigenieks | sdXY would be sdc5 | 10:03 |
| gigenieks | for me now | 10:03 |
| gigenieks | and last I do | 10:03 |
| gigenieks | sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX | 10:03 |
| gigenieks | sdX = whatever I choose | 10:03 |
| gigenieks | ? | 10:03 |
| yofel | well, you can use /dev/sdc - but then make sure you use that disk as first boot disk in your BIOS boot order | 10:05 |
| gigenieks | I dont get it I have both Kubuntu and Windows on 1 hdd | 10:06 |
| gigenieks | so i need to set that hdd | 10:06 |
| gigenieks | in bios first | 10:06 |
| gigenieks | anyway! | 10:06 |
| gigenieks | right? | 10:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | gigenieks: you'll find out soon enough with guess and check which one is right :). You can edit grub dynamically by hitting 'e' when grub loads, if you fail and need to change sda to sdc | 10:09 |
| Shirakawasuna | gigenieks: the basic idea is that you install windows, then boot to a linux live CD, then chroot and grub install. Follow a good guide for doing the chroot and grub install. Gentoo and archlinux have excellent docs on this, though they may not apply to grub2. | 10:10 |
| gigenieks | I read this: | 10:10 |
| gigenieks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 10:10 |
| gigenieks | under | 10:10 |
| gigenieks | Copy LiveCD Files | 10:10 |
| gigenieks | is instructions | 10:10 |
| FloodBotK2 | gigenieks: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:11 |
| gigenieks | I just dont get that last line | 10:11 |
| gigenieks | I have 3 HDD | 10:11 |
| gigenieks | sda, sdb sdc (sdc has Windows (who doesnt work now) and Kubuntu) | 10:11 |
| gigenieks | in bios 1st hdd is sdc | 10:12 |
| gigenieks | here is my setup: | 10:13 |

| lolcat | I am here | 12:11 |
| briandw1969 | im having probs with Java | 12:11 |
| [dlp] | Can KDE handle multiple logins as the same user? | 12:11 |
| lolcat | Anyways, I am scrolling 35ish active channels so I migth not see what you write | 12:11 |
| [dlp] | e.g. via XDMCP, VNC, etc. | 12:12 |
| lolcat | [dlp]: Can moose shit in the forrest? | 12:12 |
| lolcat | briandw1969: Marvelous. Try to ask a quesition maybe? | 12:12 |
| [dlp] | Or will it cause issues? | 12:12 |
| bazhang | lolcat, watch the language | 12:12 |
| briandw1969 | my browsers are not showing Java enabled | 12:13 |
| [dlp] | There were a few problems doing this under KDE 3. | 12:13 |
| * yofel can confirm that loggin in with 2 users from kdm at the same time will work, but has no idea about XDMCP or VNC | 12:13 | |
| lolcat | [dlp]: sorry, can moose defececate in the forrest? | 12:13 |
| [dlp] | lol | 12:13 |
| lolcat | bazhang: Writing the correct terms are complicated | 12:13 |
| yofel | !java | briandw1969 | 12:13 |
| ubottu | briandw1969: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 12:13 |
| [dlp] | "Single instance" programs don't like it, obviously. | 12:13 |
| lolcat | [dlp]: chroot it! | 12:14 |
| [dlp] | Could do that. | 12:15 |
| lolcat | I learn chroot yesterday | 12:16 |
| lolcat | now I have chrooted fifteen terminals | 12:16 |
| [dlp] | That would split up configurations tho. I might as well just log in as a different user. | 12:16 |
| lolcat | 3 of wich with x | 12:16 |
| [dlp] | XDMCP would be KDM bas3ed. | 12:16 |
| [dlp] | It's actually VNC I'm interested in. | 12:16 |
| altin | hello there, I wanted to ask: do you suggest that I install a 64bit kubuntu on my pc ? I mean is it stable enough.. | 12:27 |
| altin | and whats the compatibility of its programs | 12:27 |
| altin | are there Nvidia drivers and other stuff for 64bit ? | 12:28 |
| yofel | there are, I'm running 64bit here and it works perfectly fine for me | 12:29 |
| altin | yofel: any problems of any kind with any software ? | 12:30 |
| yofel | You might see issues with flash, as that's the 32bit plugin wrapped in nspluginwrapper to run on 64bit. But usually even that works fine | 12:30 |
| altin | aha, but mostly Im afraid I dont have drivers for Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT ? | 12:31 |
| altin | how can i look for that ? | 12:31 |
| altin | yofel: | 12:31 |
| briandw1969 | still cant get Java | 12:31 |
| yofel | The drivers in the repository will work for that card | 12:31 |
| yofel | briandw1969: what did you try to install? IIRC you could try to install kubuntu-restricted-extras, not sure | 12:32 |
| briandw1969 | i tried the command lines from http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc | 12:33 |
| briandw1969 | but none of the commands did anything | 12:35 |
| yofel | briandw1969: hm, if you don't need sun, you can try to install icedtea-plugin, which should give you the java web plugin | 12:36 |
| briandw1969 | in package installer? | 12:36 |
| yofel | yes | 12:36 |
| briandw1969 | installed icedtea but still no java on my browsers | 12:39 |
| yofel | briandw1969: which browser? | 12:41 |
| briandw1969 | rekonq,ff so far | 12:41 |
| yofel | hm, if you open konsole and run 'ls -lha /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so' (without the quotes) what do you get? | 12:42 |
| briandw1969 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 2011-07-26 07:37 /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so | 12:43 |
| yofel | did you restart your browser? | 12:43 |
| briandw1969 | ahhhhhhhhhh | 12:44 |
| briandw1969 | there it is | 12:45 |

| ubuntu4shane | ok, this is very frustrating, I rebooted, after 5 or 6 or 7 days running, and my keyboard isn't loaded?? or something, I can't type, and mouse isn't activated either. IT isn't hardware because keyboard works in grub menu, I tried booting older kernel, recovery nothing works | 14:22 |
| ubuntu4shane | I can't ctrl-alt-f2,3,4 or nothing, because keyboard seems to have no power | 14:23 |
| ubuntu4shane | I have no alternate OS installed, oddly enough, or at least not in my grup config, how can I edit the grub boot loader to only load to init3? | 14:24 |
| yofel | ubuntu4shane: not really, as RL3 does nothing special, but recovery mode might work | 14:25 |
| yofel | though I'm not sure how that would happen, except a oneiric bug that was already fixed | 14:25 |
| ubuntu4shane | yofel: recovery didn't work for me | 14:26 |
| ubuntu4shane | if I could get to a cli I could at least troubleshoot, recover, but without that, I'm sunk | 14:26 |
| yofel | not sure then, maybe try to kill X with alt+printscr+k and try to switch to tty then | 14:27 |
| ubuntu4shane | make matters worse, I don't think I have an Ubuntu disk laying around, not recent one anyway | 14:27 |
| yofel | or use init=/bin/bash on the kernel command line skipping the whole system iniit | 14:27 |
| ubuntu4shane | ooh, that sounds like a better solution, let me try the first, one second, computer is in the other room | 14:27 |
| ubuntu4shane | yofel: alt-printscr+k did the trick, blinked the screen; keyboard, and mouse are working, odd | 14:29 |
| * yofel blames X then | 14:30 | |
| yofel | check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | 14:30 |

| shane2peru1 | yofel: with that I lose my dual screen setup? correct? | 14:47 |
| yofel | probably, *that* I now 0 about | 14:47 |
| yofel | so save yours first | 14:47 |
| shane2peru1 | brb | 14:48 |
| shane2peru1 | ok, could be a bad combination of bad recharable batteries in my wireless logitech trackball??? | 14:56 |
| shane2peru1 | now it works | 14:56 |
| shane2peru1 | there is definitely something very strange going on | 14:56 |
| shane2peru1 | that xorg.conf didn't help | 14:56 |
| shane2peru1 | and I figured out that, I have to wait about 30 seconds before pressing alt-pntscreen-k works | 14:57 |
| shane2peru1 | like it is lagging in loading? | 14:57 |
| shane2peru1 | yofel: ^^^ any other ideas?? | 14:57 |
| yofel | I've seen lags from X before, no idea | 14:58 |
| shane2peru1 | how do I reset X without rebooting? sudo service kdm restart? | 14:59 |
| shane2peru1 | would that reload xorg.conf | 14:59 |
| yofel | S3Indiana: restarting kdm should be fine | 15:01 |
| yofel | er, shane2peru1 ^^ | 15:01 |
| shane2peru1 | reloading X was instant login, and got my dual screen back. :) perhaps X isn't loading as fast as kubuntu is?? | 15:01 |
| shane2peru1 | got it. :) | 15:01 |
| shane2peru1 | guess I just won't reboot for another 7-10 days. :) | 15:02 |
| shane2peru1 | yofel: thanks for the help, greatly appreciated!!! | 15:02 |
| yofel | sure, you're welcome | 15:03 |

| Linkmaster | I've been trying to monkey around with GRUB to make it show a booting option for my newly created Gentoo installation[made in a chroot environment], though I didn't install GRUB using the gentoo. I run 'update-grub' and it 'sees' the gentoo installation, but when I reboot, I don't have an option to boot into it. | 17:04 |
| yofel | Linkmaster: are you sure you updated the grub.cfg of the grub installation that you boot with? | 17:06 |
| Linkmaster | yofel: I believe so..I don't really play with grub too much, so I'm not exactly sure | 17:07 |
| ib-mobile_ | something is wrong with configuring printers on my system. When I try to add a printer, I'm only given they type other and it doesn't seem to do anything. I've had printing working on this machine before so I'm not sure what happened. I'm trying to setup a remote cups printer | 17:08 |
| yofel | Linkmaster: check if it's listed in grub.cfg, if it is then you should see it on boot | 17:09 |
| genii-around | Linkmaster: I suppose it also might matter where you chrooted to and did the install... like, a subdir in some partition, or the root of a partition, etc | 17:09 |
| ib-mobile_ | I'm thinking reinstalling the print configuration tool may be the answer, but I'm not sure what package that would be | 17:09 |
| Linkmaster | genii-around: I know I was chrooted in the correct place, I had an empty partition, and mounted it via /mnt/gentoo and I did all my work from /mnt/gentoo | 17:10 |
| Linkmaster | yofel: this is my partition setup: http://pastebin.com/zmBUs97f | 17:10 |
| yofel | ok, but your grub installation with have it's prefix set to /boot from ubuntu, so you need to update the grub.cfg *there* | 17:11 |
| Linkmaster | I have an unfinished windows on sda1, sda5 is gentoo, sda6 is / for kubuntu, sda7 is /home for kubuntu, and sda8 is my swap | 17:11 |
| yofel | the grub setup in gentoo will probably be ignored unless you run grub-install from there | 17:12 |
| dlp | I am having some seriously funky issues with KDE and XDMCP. | 17:12 |
| === dlp is now known as [dlp] | ||
| Linkmaster | alright...let me mount gentoo, chroot in there, and install grub from there. Hopefully it won't bork kubuntu, since I doubt I'll have internet in gentoo until I set it up | 17:12 |
| yofel | Linkmaster: wait, can you run update-grub in KUBUNTU first? | 17:13 |
| yofel | and then pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 17:13 |
| [dlp] | Anyone know of a pastebin that will take images? | 17:13 |
| Linkmaster | sure | 17:13 |
| yofel | !paste | [dlp] | 17:13 |

| Linkmaster | "Found Microsoft Windows XP Professional on /dev/sda1 | 17:17 |
| Linkmaster | Found Gentoo Base System release 2.0.2 on /dev/sda5" | 17:17 |
| Linkmaster | ^Thats why I know its there, and thats also why I'm so confused, since on restart, grub will show the stupid windows, but not gentoo | 17:17 |
| yofel | hm, the os-prober section only has XP though in grub.cfg | 17:18 |
| [dlp] | http://imagebin.org/164983 | 17:19 |
| Linkmaster | I see that..how do I go about adding gentoo into it? | 17:20 |
| [dlp] | Interesting thing is... it flips at some point while KDE is loading. | 17:20 |
| yofel | no idea how os-prober manager other linux systems, or /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober manages it | 17:20 |
| [dlp] | During splash screen. | 17:20 |
| [dlp] | All images go wierd. | 17:20 |
| yofel | Linkmaster: I would try to copy an ubuntu entry from grub.cfg to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and modify the partitions and UUID | 17:21 |
| [dlp] | i.e. invert | 17:21 |
| [dlp] | along with something else | 17:21 |
| [dlp] | Anyone ever seen anything like it? | 17:21 |
| Linkmaster | yofel: oh wonderful, I'll get to it... | 17:21 |
| [dlp] | Mouse input is fine (i.e. responds to where things "should" be). | 17:25 |
| Linkmaster | how do I find the UUID of a partition? | 17:25 |
| [dlp] | All plasmoid contents appear inverted. | 17:26 |
| [dlp] | Linkmaster: sudo blkid -o list | 17:27 |
| yofel | Linkmaster: 'sudo blkid' will tell you | 17:29 |
| Linkmaster | Yeah, I found it | 17:29 |
| Linkmaster | yofel: http://pastebin.com/GcYX0Q6E | 17:31 |
| yofel | the kernel an initrd images are wrong, the search line probably too | 17:32 |
| Linkmaster | yofel: I don't know how to properly edit those.. | 17:36 |
| yofel | me neither, though the UUID on the search line should probably match the root one, and the kernel and initrd images are the ones from gentoo | 17:39 |
| yofel | if you did something wrong with the gentoo kernel setup it might explain why os-prober fails to add it | 17:39 |
| draik | Hello everyone | 18:00 |
| draik | I had an issue with my 10.10 upgrade to 11.04 and lost my configs. | 18:00 |
| draik | I can't recall how I got HDMI audio to work. | 18:00 |
| draik | I have HDMI through nVidia driver and would like audio from the same output. Would someone be able to tell me where I could look? My Google-fu appears to be lacking since I can't find the article that helped me last time (in 10.10) | 18:02 |
| draik | !hdmi | 18:04 |
| BluesKaj | draik, open alsamixer and make sure the digital ctrl is turned up | 18:05 |
| draik | BluesKaj: When I get into alsamixer, HDMI isn't the default card. When I choose my HDMI card, S/PDIF (all 4 of them) are set to "00" | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | 00 means they are turned on , | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | which player are you using ? | 18:09 |
| draik | When looking at PCM, I notice that I have 01-03, 01-07, 01-08, and 01-09. I recall that 01-07 was the one that I need. | 18:09 |
| draik | I'm trying Pandora and VLC | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | VLC works for me but I use coax digital out for my audio out , no hdmi inputs on my receiver, and I use dvi to hdmi adapter cable to my tv . VLC/tools/preferences/ audio output settings have to be matched to the dev=X settings in phonon | 18:13 |
| draik | BluesKaj: Perfect. Now I have VLC playing audio. Now I have to look into Pandora. | 18:15 |
| tdn | Sometimes, after a while audio just stops working. Both in vlc, smplayer, audacious, Flash, etc. A reboot fixes this, but how can I solve the issue? Is there any way to get sound back without rebooting? | 18:16 |
| tdn | I use Kubuntu 11.04 | 18:16 |
| draik | tdn: I recall having that issue back in 10.04. IIRC, there is a file you can alter to save your config after rebooting. | 18:17 |
| tdn | draik, the alsamixer state, maybe? | 18:18 |
| draik | Ah, yeah. That's what my search just came up with right now. | 18:18 |
| tdn | draik, I was hoping to have sound back without rebooting. | 18:18 |
| tdn | draik, I havent changed anything in alsamixer though. | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, setup alsmixer sothat your audio works to your satisfaction , then open another terminal and do, sudo alsactl store | 18:19 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, but why does the sound suddenly stop working? | 18:21 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, also, I am not sure this is a mixer problem. For example, if I try to play a video with sound in it with mplayer, mplayer stops video playback, because it cannot find audio dev. | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, that command should store your alsamixer settings , and if you have pulseaudio installed that could be the culprit | 18:22 |
| tdn | [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory | 18:22 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, I have pulseaudio. That is the default, right? | 18:22 |
| tdn | http://paste.adora.dk/P2111.txt <- list of installed '*pulse*' packages | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | yes, but unless you have a fancy pci soundcard , ot use pavucontrol with PA , it's mostly redundant | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | ot=or | 18:23 |
| draik | BluesKaj: I think you solved my Pandora issue with that one. | 18:24 |
| tdn | I do not know what pavucontrol is. Appearently not installed. | 18:24 |
| tdn | You think PA is redundant? | 18:24 |
| draik | WHen I got into KMix, I see that my Playback Streams is set to "ALSA plug-in [Pandora]: ALSA Playback" | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | draik ,I haven't used pandorsa ...dunno anything about it | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | pandora | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, PA=pulseaudio ..it's just asoundserver that depends on other backends to run | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | it runs as a layer on top of alsa... I don't need it | 18:26 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, ok. Can you play sound in flash while listening to music in audacious and viewing video in mplayer, etc? | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, don't think so...never tried that because my setup doesn't require that | 18:29 |
| BluesKaj | !pavucontrol | tdn | 18:31 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, ok | 18:31 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, that does not give me any info | 18:31 |
| BluesKaj | !info pavucontrol | tdn | 18:31 |

| tdn | Oh. There it was. | 18:32 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, ok. Thanks. | 18:33 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, if you're streaming audio with one app , listening and watching something esle , then I guess you're using it as a network media server | 18:33 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, I still do not understand why my dsp device disappears: [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory | 18:33 |
| tdn | How does this happen? | 18:33 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, I would really like to be able to play music on one computer and have sound come out of speakers from another computer. | 18:34 |
| BluesKaj | dunno ,,,updates changing config files? ..good question | 18:34 |
| tdn | Bu tright now I would like to just have sound back :) | 18:34 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, no changes to config nor updates installed. | 18:34 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, it just happens once in a while. Sometimes while watching a movie. | 18:35 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, it is extremely annoying. | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, intermittent problems are difficult to diagnose ...check /var/log to see what errors might be associated with the crash | 18:37 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, what to look for in logs? | 18:42 |

| stevethepirate_ | here is my question (btw, ya'll are the same) - I am looking in /etc/init.d/plymouth and I have a question about upstart-job.sh and its use of plymouth | 19:48 |
| stevethepirate_ | INITSCRIPT="$(basename "$0")" | 19:49 |
| stevethepirate_ | does this line store the value of the name of the script that called plymouth in INITSCRIPT? | 19:50 |
| yofel | since you run initscript themselves, that would return 'basename /etc/init.d/plymouth' i.e. 'plymouth' | 19:51 |
| yofel | since that's what you want to run | 19:51 |
| Pici | stevethepirate_: yes | 19:51 |
| yofel | upstart-job.sh then takes care of starting the plymouth service as defined in plymouth.conf | 19:51 |
| Pici | stevethepirate_: as you can see there are a number of scripts in /etc/init.d that are all symlinked to /lib/init/upstart-job | 19:51 |
| yofel | er, /etc/init/plymouth.conf | 19:51 |
| stevethepirate_ | Is this for all files in init.d? | 19:53 |
| stevethepirate_ | they are all symlinked? | 19:53 |
| yofel | for all files that are symlinked, not all are | 19:53 |
| Pici | stevethepirate_: Take a look yourself. | 19:53 |
| yofel | ls -la /etc/init.d/ will tell you | 19:53 |
| stevethepirate_ | o i finally understand that | 19:55 |

| genii-around | CoJaBo: in /etc/acpi the scripts which do stuff like sleep, hibernate, and so on are. A dirty but fast thing would be to rename sleep.sh to something like sleep.sh.old and symlink a new sleep.sh to hibernate.sh | 21:15 |

| bobweaver | hi there where in the world is the default color scheme located in kubuntu ? | 23:21 |
| bobweaver | not under /usr/share/kde4/apps/color-scheme | 23:23 |
| claydoh | bobweaver: mine are there, /usr/share/kde4/apps/color-schemes/ the default is Oxygen | 23:30 |
| bobweaver | hmm. | 23:31 |
| bobweaver | I deleted all but one (obsiden coast) and want to now make that defult | 23:32 |
| bobweaver | but when i go to system settings default is still set to oxygen | 23:33 |
| bobweaver | if I alter will it save under ~/.config ? | 23:34 |
| bobweaver | or usr/share/where/ever | 23:34 |
| bobweaver | there is one way that I can find out :>) | 23:34 |
| claydoh | why not leave it set to obsidian and not worry about a default? | 23:34 |
| bobweaver | when making a back up using remastersys I want the defult to be obsiden coast | 23:35 |
| claydoh | look in parts of kubuntu-default-settings | 23:36 |
| bobweaver | so when I give to family for gift it will be my font and color scheme and window and so on | 23:36 |
| bobweaver | Thanks | 23:37 |

| Snooffy | hi guys, how to check filesystem when the system is mounted? | 23:47 |
| draik | mount | 23:48 |
| tsimpson | you generally don't check it while it's mounted | 23:49 |
| draik | Sorry, thought that was in regards to the fs type, not fsck. | 23:49 |
| draik | CoJaBo: So... I seem to have the copy/paste function on my mouse if I use the mousewheel clicker (aka 3rd button) | 23:53 |
