=== Kim1aroux is now known as KimLaroux [01:15] I need help partitioning :) [01:49] Is there a way to logout of a KIO? [02:01] 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? === ridin is now known as alphur [03:02] chaitu: Sorry how are you changing the theme? [03:03] system settings [03:03] system settings -> advanced tab ->desktop theme details [03:04] Right ok what did you change? [03:05] chaitu: Just clicked on one of the options at the top or you went into more detail ? [03:06] once i click on desktop theme details, it gives me new window which shows the current theme [03:06] then I click on drop down box and try changing it [03:06] it doesnt change anything [03:07] chaitu: Ah what version of KDE are you using? [03:07] one sec nega [03:07] negaduck, * [03:07] 4.3.5 [03:07] oh [03:07] oh my :) [03:08] lol i know..pretty old [03:08] Ok I'm using KDE 4.7 so I wouldn't be able to confirm or deny that [03:08] are you on LTS? [03:08] umnn sorry..whats lts? [03:09] let me look up [03:09] I know these silly questions might be irritating [03:10] oh long term support? [03:12] kde.org does not show any [03:12] ah wb lol..thought you were around [03:13] I don't see anything for 4.3.5 lts on kde.org.. [03:13] !LTS [03:13] 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] DNS died [03:14] yeah..I dont think its supported. [03:14] will download latest version of this distro and install it I guess [03:15] 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] !fonts [03:15] 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/ [03:16] chaitu: Might help if you have a /home partition for the jump [03:16] wow looks like you guys have seen lot of newbies. nice thanks a ton [03:16] I have home../home [03:18] chaitu: is it on it's own partition? [03:18] negaduck: once you implement whats written in that file, will fonts on browsers and websites look like windows? [03:18] yes negaduck [03:18] 17 gb of home [03:19] chaitu: Wonderful :) [03:19] not so much a newbie :) [03:20] lol I played with this for sometime..like installing awn and those desktop effects apps..other than that..not much [03:21] Neat how have you liked the playground so far? [03:22] I like it...its just that my browsing experience is not up to the mark..like how it looks on linux.. [03:22] chaitu: try chromium when you upgrade. It pulls in it's own fonts and so on [03:22] but people like tweaking their own fonts alot [03:22] 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 [03:23] i see [03:25] 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 [03:26] chaitu: I don't have a separate /home and have never regretted this, so... [03:27] I see..but wouldnt your / folder has somany folders and confuse you with folders you create? like /pics, /music and so on? [03:28] have* heh [03:28] chaitu: You don't need it but I don't see a downside to having one [03:29] chaitu: If you have a single / partition you will still have a /home directory [03:29] 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] it looks the same. Just if you format you lose all the data in your /home as well [03:29] I think negaduck explained that better ;) [03:29] ooh..I get it. cool [03:30] and 10 gb for / is good enough, right? [03:32] Should be [03:32] I've never had mine that large and I've never run out of space [03:32] and I install a ridiculous amount of rubbish [03:32] I have mine as 5 now but it says no space to upgrade to the latest version [03:33] 78% used..am not sure if all those desktop effect progs I installed did not take much space.. [03:39] aight guys. I will download and install the latest version and come back. [03:40] Thanks a bunch for your help. You guys really help newbies like me try things out. [03:40] cheers [04:02] Cheers! [04:04] Greetings, all. [04:05] Hi [04:06] hi [04:09] Hey [04:17] just did some updates... system is running slooowww... like something is hogging the cpu... but nothing is. any ideas? [04:20] what_if: hoggin the RAM?

[05:23] i now using live cd [05:23] Are you using GRUB, or the newer GRUB2? [05:24] Also, is your live cd Kubuntu, and if so, please check the version. [05:24] i dont know.. how to know it? [05:24] kubuntu 11.04 [05:25] I'm not very familiar with any of the GRUB partition selectors. [05:27] my grub version is: (GRUB) 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 [05:28] I can do a fair bit in Kubuntu, but with GRUB, I'd be better off not guessing... [05:29] Sorry, I have to leave. [05:29] does anyone else can help me? [05:33] Both KPackageKit and Apt-get are going extremely slow [06:43] im getting system freeze when i move the mouse quickly between screens. I suspect its something to do with the nvidia drivers, how would i locate the exact source? is there any system logs anywhere that would show the freeze?

[09:57] ... [10:00] gigenieks: usually you put grub into the MBR of the device that's used as boot disk in BIOS [10:00] usually sda [10:00] or put it on sdc and mark that as boot disk in BIOS [10:01] I personally am happier with grub and the windows boot manager being on 2 different disks [10:01] less error-prone [10:01] Im confused.. [10:01] ok, so - [10:02] I found Kubuntu partion [10:02] by [10:02] sudo fdisk -l [10:02] then I mount it by: [10:02] !enter | gigenieks [10:02] gigenieks: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:02] sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt [10:03] sdXY would be sdc5 [10:03] for me now [10:03] and last I do [10:03] sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX [10:03] sdX = whatever I choose [10:03] ? [10:05] well, you can use /dev/sdc - but then make sure you use that disk as first boot disk in your BIOS boot order [10:06] I dont get it I have both Kubuntu and Windows on 1 hdd [10:06] so i need to set that hdd [10:06] in bios first [10:06] anyway! [10:07] right? [10:09] 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 [10:10] 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] I read this: [10:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [10:10] under [10:10] Copy LiveCD Files [10:10] is instructions [10:11] gigenieks: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:13] <[dlp]> "Single instance" programs don't like it, obviously. [12:14] [dlp]: chroot it! [12:15] <[dlp]> Could do that. [12:16] I learn chroot yesterday [12:16] 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.

[12:27] 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] and whats the compatibility of its programs [12:28] are there Nvidia drivers and other stuff for 64bit ? [12:29] there are, I'm running 64bit here and it works perfectly fine for me [12:30] yofel: any problems of any kind with any software ? [12:30] 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 [12:31] aha, but mostly Im afraid I dont have drivers for Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT ? [12:31] how can i look for that ? [12:31] yofel: [12:31] still cant get Java [12:31] The drivers in the repository will work for that card [12:32] briandw1969: what did you try to install? IIRC you could try to install kubuntu-restricted-extras, not sure [12:33] i tried the command lines from http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc [12:35] but none of the commands did anything [12:36] 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] in package installer? [12:36] yes [12:39] installed icedtea but still no java on my browsers [12:41] briandw1969: which browser?

[14:22] 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 [14:23] I can't ctrl-alt-f2,3,4 or nothing, because keyboard seems to have no power [14:24] 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? [14:25] ubuntu4shane: not really, as RL3 does nothing special, but recovery mode might work [14:25] though I'm not sure how that would happen, except a oneiric bug that was already fixed [14:26] yofel: recovery didn't work for me [14:26] if I could get to a cli I could at least troubleshoot, recover, but without that, I'm sunk [14:27] not sure then, maybe try to kill X with alt+printscr+k and try to switch to tty then [14:27] make matters worse, I don't think I have an Ubuntu disk laying around, not recent one anyway [14:27] or use init=/bin/bash on the kernel command line skipping the whole system iniit [14:27] ooh, that sounds like a better solution, let me try the first, one second, computer is in the other room [14:29] yofel: alt-printscr+k did the trick, blinked the screen; keyboard, and mouse are working, odd [14:30] * yofel blames X then [14:30] check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old === massimo is now known as Guest49546 [14:33] yofel: over here. :) want me to pastebin that?

I run 'update-grub' and it 'sees' the gentoo installation, but when I reboot, I don't have an option to boot into it. [17:06] Linkmaster: are you sure you updated the grub.cfg of the grub installation that you boot with? [17:07] yofel: I believe so..I don't really play with grub too much, so I'm not exactly sure [17:08] 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 [17:09] Linkmaster: check if it's listed in grub.cfg, if it is then you should see it on boot [17:09] 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] I'm thinking reinstalling the print configuration tool may be the answer, but I'm not sure what package that would be [17:10] 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] yofel: this is my partition setup: http://pastebin.com/zmBUs97f [17:11] 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] I have an unfinished windows on sda1, sda5 is gentoo, sda6 is / for kubuntu, sda7 is /home for kubuntu, and sda8 is my swap [17:12] the grub setup in gentoo will probably be ignored unless you run grub-install from there [17:12] I am having some seriously funky issues with KDE and XDMCP. === dlp is now known as [dlp] [17:12] 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 [17:13] Linkmaster: wait, can you run update-grub in KUBUNTU first?

[17:27] <[dlp]> Linkmaster: sudo blkid -o list [17:29] Linkmaster: 'sudo blkid' will tell you [17:29] Yeah, I found it [17:31] yofel: http://pastebin.com/GcYX0Q6E [17:32] the kernel an initrd images are wrong, the search line probably too [17:36] yofel: I don't know how to properly edit those.. [17:39] 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] if you did something wrong with the gentoo kernel setup it might explain why os-prober fails to add it [18:00] Hello everyone [18:00] I had an issue with my 10.10 upgrade to 11.04 and lost my configs. [18:00] I can't recall how I got HDMI audio to work. [18:02] 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) [18:04] !hdmi [18:05] draik, open alsamixer and make sure the digital ctrl is turned up [18:08] 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" [18:09] 00 means they are turned on , [18:09] which player are you using ? [18:09] 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. [18:10] I'm trying Pandora and VLC [18:13] 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 [18:15] BluesKaj: Perfect. Now I have VLC playing audio. Now I have to look into Pandora. [18:16] 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] I use Kubuntu 11.04 [18:17] tdn: I recall having that issue back in 10.04. IIRC, there is a file you can alter to save your config after rebooting. [18:18] draik, the alsamixer state, maybe? [18:18] Ah, yeah. That's what my search just came up with right now. [18:18] draik, I was hoping to have sound back without rebooting. [18:19] draik, I havent changed anything in alsamixer though. [18:19] tdn, setup alsmixer sothat your audio works to your satisfaction , then open another terminal and do, sudo alsactl store [18:21] BluesKaj, but why does the sound suddenly stop working? [18:22] 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] tdn, that command should store your alsamixer settings , and if you have pulseaudio installed that could be the culprit [18:22] [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory [18:22] BluesKaj, I have pulseaudio. That is the default, right? [18:23] http://paste.adora.dk/P2111.txt <- list of installed '*pulse*' packages [18:23] yes, but unless you have a fancy pci soundcard , ot use pavucontrol with PA , it's mostly redundant [18:23] ot=or [18:24] BluesKaj: I think you solved my Pandora issue with that one. [18:24] I do not know what pavucontrol is. Appearently not installed. [18:24] You think PA is redundant? [18:24] WHen I got into KMix, I see that my Playback Streams is set to "ALSA plug-in [Pandora]: ALSA Playback" [18:24] draik ,I haven't used pandorsa ...dunno anything about it [18:24] pandora [18:26] tdn, PA=pulseaudio ..it's just asoundserver that depends on other backends to run [18:26] it runs as a layer on top of alsa... I don't need it [18:27] BluesKaj, ok. Can you play sound in flash while listening to music in audacious and viewing video in mplayer, etc? [18:29] tdn, don't think so...never tried that because my setup doesn't require that [18:31] !pavucontrol | tdn [18:31] BluesKaj, ok [18:31] BluesKaj, that does not give me any info [18:31] !info pavucontrol | tdn [18:31] Nothing [18:31] tdn: pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-1 (natty), package size 118 kB, installed size 948 kB [18:32] Oh. There it was. [18:33] BluesKaj, ok. Thanks. [18:33] 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] 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] How does this happen? [18:34] 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] dunno ,,,updates changing config files? ..good question [18:34] Bu tright now I would like to just have sound back :) [18:34] BluesKaj, no changes to config nor updates installed. [18:35] BluesKaj, it just happens once in a while. Sometimes while watching a movie. [18:35] BluesKaj, it is extremely annoying. [18:37] tdn, intermittent problems are difficult to diagnose ...check /var/log to see what errors might be associated with the crash [18:42] BluesKaj, what to look for in logs? [18:43] 2011-07-26T20:32:23.741950+02:00 malbec.vineyard.sikkerhed.org pulseaudio[8595]: alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy [18:48] Not sure what that means. [18:51] usually means the device is being used by another application [19:20] I've tried a few things, but I'm not getting audio in Firefox or Pandora. [19:38] hello, can anyone tell me why there is only xchat-gnome in the software center ? [19:39] I wanted to install xchat but there is no package for it [19:43] altin: shouldn't be, xchat is in the archive [19:44] alternatively open konsole and run 'sudo apt-get install xchat' [19:44] yofel: its only xchat-gnome [19:44] and thats crap :/ [19:44] agreed [19:46] yofel: what about qt-creator I cant find it too ? [19:47] yofel, hey are yuo working on kde 4.7 for natty already ? :D [19:47]
