| SIR_Taco | xcv: have you found out if t works on the newer 3.0.x kernel? might be a not-so-pain-in-the-butt version of that | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| xcv | where can I get it? as I said I'm a bit afraid of kernel updates, I had bad experiences in opensuse with the nvidia proprietary driver | 00:02 |
| SIR_Taco | I really can't say that you wont have problems with a kernel update, but often it's the way to go.... let me find a backport of a 3 series for natty | 00:03 |
| xcv | SIR_Taco: ok, thank you | 00:04 |
| SIR_Taco | this should help: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-linux-kernel-3-0-rc2-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal | 00:06 |
| xcv | SIR_Taco: where can I get the pae kernel? | 00:10 |
| bazhang | xcv, install linux-generic-pae it'll pull everything in | 00:10 |
| bazhang | xcv, a very bad idea to install outside kernels (ie 3.0) in natty | 00:11 |
| SIR_Taco | bazhang: if you have a hardware problem... downgrade then? | 00:12 |
| xcv | bazhang: what should I do then? I need to update my 2.6.38-10 to >=2.6.39 because of a bug in the ath9x driver | 00:12 |
| bazhang | SIR_Taco, file a bug, wait for oneiric release, work with that | 00:12 |
| bazhang | xcv, whats the bug, link please | 00:13 |
| xcv | bazhang: and the 2.6.39?? where is it? | 00:13 |
| SIR_Taco | bazhang: I agree, but you will either need to upgrade or downgrade to get your hardware working properly again... | 00:13 |
| xcv | SIR_Taco: if I install it, will I be able to choose the older 2.6.38-10 in the grub menu? | 00:14 |
| alexThunder | i got a ppa for (currently) 3.0.7, if that would help - the mainline 3.x didn't work with the fglrx but the ppa provides a fixed one | 00:15 |
| SIR_Taco | xcv: yes, your old kernel will be there | 00:16 |
| xcv | perfect, please wait and I will be back after the install & reboot | 00:16 |
| SIR_Taco | xcv: ok | 00:17 |
| xcv | SIR_Taco? | 00:24 |
| SIR_Taco | yes? | 00:24 |
| xcv | the new kernel doesn't even recognize the card | 00:25 |
| xcv | i'm using the old one | 00:25 |
| SIR_Taco | do you still have the previous kernel for which it worked available through Grub? | 00:26 |
| xcv | yes, i'm using it right now, but with it, wifi sometimes suddenly disconnects and it's very annoying | 00:27 |
| bazhang | xcv, got the bug link? | 00:27 |
| xcv | no, sorry, where? | 00:28 |
| SIR_Taco | have ryou asked the atheros/madwifi guys? | 00:28 |
| bazhang | xcv, you said there was a bug with that card | 00:28 |
| xcv | i've seen that the bug is fixed in the 2.6.39 kernel | 00:28 |
| xcv | yes | 00:28 |
| bazhang | xcv, so bug link, please | 00:28 |
| xcv | wait, please, i will look for it | 00:29 |
| xcv | i think that it is this one, or very similar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/726058 | 00:32 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 726058 in linux (Ubuntu) "wireless disconnects randomly" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:32 |
| bazhang | xcv, looks like the bug report says upgrading to the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.39-rc1-natty/ did not fix the issue. could you tell me the exact card, please ie lspci from terminal (if pci) or lsusb (if usb), then paste.ubuntu.com and give us the link | 00:46 |
| xcv | http://paste.ubuntu.com/659640/ | 00:48 |
| xcv | bazhang: ↑ | 00:48 |
| bazhang | http://blog.homelinux.org/?p=327 xcv seen this? | 00:50 |
| xcv | ok i just did it and i'll reboot now | 00:54 |
| xcv | thanks i will be back in a moment | 00:54 |
| xcv | bazhang: thank you, it works apparently, i just have to wait and see if it is stable now | 00:58 |
| xcv | =) | 00:58 |
| jschall_ | I've switched my mother to Kubuntu. She used to use an old version (8) of dreamweaver to do her websites. I was hoping to move her to something free/open source, but it needs to be WYSIWYG and it needs to sync her files with SFTP from a local working copy. | 01:24 |

| linuxguy | Hi all.......ive been trying to install modelines etc on kubuntu 11.04 using kate /kwrite as root.......but when i try and save the xorg.conf file ......it refuses to.....any ideas would be great......thanks | 04:03 |
| ArchangelSe7en | define "refuses to" | 04:04 |
| ArchangelSe7en | does it return any error messages ? | 04:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | kubuntu doesn't have a root | 04:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | !root | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:06 |
| linuxguy | ArchangelSe7en, ..........."cannot save to xorg.conf file" you do not have enough permission, "close", save" dont save" | 04:06 |
| ArchangelSe7en | read up linuxguy ^^^ | 04:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | sudo kate /path/to/file is all you'll need if you can use sudo | 04:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | or I should say kdesudo kate | 04:09 |
| linuxguy | ArchangelSe7en, yes have ridden that..........i have tried to use kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf i can get access to it (the xorg.conf file) but it will not save at all come up with same message I posted earlier | 04:09 |
| ArchangelSe7en | in your case "sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 04:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | !kdesudo | 04:09 |
| ubottu | In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why | 04:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | apologies for that slip | 04:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | linuxguy: in your terminal of choice what does ls -lh /etc/X11/xorg.conf return? | 04:11 |
| linuxguy | well_laid_lawn, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.0K 2011-08-05 03:22 /etc/X11/xorg.conf is what i see | 04:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | so with sudo privileges you should be able to edit that file | 04:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | try in a terminal with nano | 04:13 |
| linuxguy | maybe i am not in the sudoers file.........i will have to look into that later as its late here now........5:15AM and Im about to get some sleep.........pls keep posting.........i will be awake soon........its obviously something Ive missed out here :( | 04:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | s/nano/sudo nano/ | 04:14 |
| linuxguy | nite all.........and thanks........I will read the messages latrs :) | 04:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | not much more anyone could add at this stage... | 04:15 |

| Peace- | if you did everything well | 13:03 |
| tonymc | it's there on the build queue right now | 13:04 |
| Peace- | i guess the name is specified on the control file | 13:05 |
| tonymc | i know the name is specified in the control, what i am asking is what is the proper way to actually assign a version number | 13:05 |
| Peace- | so when you have written that you have done everything you need in oder to compile it on lauchpad | 13:05 |
| Peace- | **^i guess**^ | 13:05 |
| tonymc | i mean, should i name it 0.5.1-0ppa1, or 0.5.1-ppa1 or something else | 13:06 |
| Peace- | the important thing is 0.5.1 | 13:06 |
| dnivra | tonymc: maybe #ubuntu-motu could help? | 13:06 |
| Peace- | maybe then you can add yournamerepository | 13:06 |
| Peace- | ppa1 mean the first version of the package | 13:06 |
| tonymc | i'll ask there thanks | 13:08 |
| Peace- | tonymc: 6.0~b5+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 | 13:08 |
| Peace- | 0.3.1-0ubuntu1 | 13:08 |
| Peace- | something like that | 13:09 |
| tonymc | i think that's for packages already present in ubuntu repo, no? | 13:09 |
| tonymc | or changed to ubuntu from debian | 13:10 |
| Peace- | tonymc: look at this 0.8.0-0ubuntu0~sunab~lucid1 | 13:12 |
| Peace- | that it was fo kdenlive ppa made by kdenlive team | 13:12 |
| tonymc | what does sunab stand for? | 13:13 |

| ThePub | what is this "New Activity" thing on the side of the desktop? | 13:24 |
| ThePub | desktop seems to be as performant as the classic ubuntu desktop, even after turning off effects. disappointing :( | 13:28 |
| James147 | ThePub: in kde activities are a way of grouping tasks (atm they can hold different applciation, widgets and wallpapers) much like virtual desktop do except they can be stoped and started... also there are plans to extend their functionality to expose features to applcations | 13:30 |
| James147 | (so that they can react differently depending on what activity they are on) | 13:30 |
| ThePub | strange. will have to find a way to turn that off. annoying with it sitting there. | 13:36 |
| ThePub | now if I could just get the desktop to react like regular ubuntu (fast), would be a happy camper :) | 13:37 |
| tonymc | no one forcing you to use activities, but the feature can't be turned off the same way you can't really turn off virtual desktops | 13:41 |
| James147 | but you can remove the widget ^^ | 13:42 |
| James147 | (and delete any extra activities) | 13:42 |
| James147 | ^^ try turning off nepomuks indexer and see if that helps with performance | 13:42 |

| ThePub | when I moved the bar to the top, next thing I knew there was an additional tab along the side of the desktop which says "New Activity". Not being a KDE user I have zero clue how it got there. Must have clicked something unintentionally, the desktop is performing really poorly in comparison to regular Ubuntu. | 13:45 |
| Peace-- | ThePub: your language , i mean the first one is english? | 13:46 |
| Peace-- | ThePub: http://www.youtube.com/user/gotbletu#p/search/3/RRJJ4tG4lFQ for activity | 13:47 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas | 14:35 |
| venkata | Hi all | 14:44 |
| venkata | i have a small problem..my kubuntu has been upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. Update went fine. But i cant enable desktop effects | 14:45 |
| venkata | this message frequently : Desktop effects were too slow and have been suspended. | 14:46 |
| venkata | If this was only a temporary problem, you can resume using the 'Alt+Shift+F12' shortcut. | 14:46 |
| venkata | You can disable functionality checks in System Settings (on the Advanced tab in Desktop Effects). | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | venkata, which graphics cards ? | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | card rather | 14:46 |
| venkata | no proprietary | 14:46 |
| venkata | only Intel | 14:46 |
| venkata | how do i know graphics chipset details ? any command | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | lspci | grep video | 14:47 |
| venkata | no output | 14:48 |
| venkata | with the above command. command simply exists | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | lspci | grep VGA | 14:48 |
| venkata | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 14:49 |
| BluesKaj | so no recommended drivers in additonal drivers ? | 14:50 |
| venkata | that message i didnt get as part of upgrade | 14:50 |
| venkata | when 10.10 freshly installed earlier i didnt even get that | 14:50 |
| venkata | on 10.10 desktop effects were fine | 14:51 |
| venkata | where i can search in KDE for additional drivers info .. ? | 14:52 |
| venkata | thanks for replies | 14:52 |
| BluesKaj | kmenu>apps>system>additional drivers | 14:52 |
| venkata | i found in Kmenu | 14:52 |
| venkata | thanks | 14:52 |
| venkata | it came with no proprietary drivers are used in system | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | and no recommended listed? | 14:53 |
| venkata | yes no recommendations | 14:54 |
| venkata | when effects enabled .. they are inforce for some time. after that disabling message popping out. | 14:57 |
| venkata | the desktop cube effect was smoother earlier .. now it is very slow. | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | venkata, look in your package manager for xserver-xorg-video-intel to see if it's installed | 14:59 |
| venkata | ok | 14:59 |
| venkata | thanks' | 14:59 |
| venkata | yes installed | 15:00 |
| venkata | hello BluesKaj sorry for interrution | 15:12 |
| venkata | any updates? | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | venkata, I see in the forums , some have been successful with the ' i915.modeset=0 ', workaround | 15:14 |
| Boomboy | All, am trying to decrease brightness for this laptop and am not able to find an option in system settings to do that? | 15:17 |
| === ubuntu_user is now known as caffeine | ||
| === caffeine is now known as caffeine74 | ||
| rbetzen | Boomboy, you should be able to find the System Settings > Power Management option. | 16:09 |
| rbetzen | under Performance there is a brightness option. | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | rbetzen, he left | 16:10 |
| rbetzen | Yea, saw that after the fact. | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | interesting that the option isn't in the display and monitor section , it would make more sense , even tho the power management is part of it's control | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | rbetzen, seems to me display is the first section that comes to mind | 16:14 |
| rbetzen | True. I checked there first myself. I had to look at the whole system settings and ask myself if anything else could lend itself to the task before I realized I needed to check into power management. | 16:15 |
| rbetzen | It would be interesting to have a bunch of people sit and do some tasks and see how often they have to hunt things down rather than just naturally go to the right option. | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | it's confusing to new users , i don't understand why these things are setup to be so arcane | 16:18 |
| Peace-- | BluesKaj: nvidia card and dual monitor | 16:19 |
| Peace-- | BluesKaj: do you know something ? | 16:19 |
| Peace-- | i have a user that has some problems | 16:19 |
| rbetzen | I'm thinking that brightness actually fits under both options. I'm not sure how to fix this one. Maybe put the brightness control under monitors and reworking PowerDevil to just make the brightness adjustments automatically depending on settings. | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | Peace--, sorry I have no experience with dual monitors | 16:21 |
| rbetzen | None here either, sorry. | 16:21 |
| onebitxajax | òhola amigos | 16:22 |
| BluesKaj | rbetzen, yes , one would think a simple hidden link would work | 16:22 |
| AciD__ | how do you reset/relaunch the sound server, sometime it just freeze then no more output sounds | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | AciD__, are you sure it isn't the player that's causing the problem ? | 16:30 |
| AciD__ | BluesKaj: perhaps it could be the cause of pulseaudio or whatever backend is outputing sounds, but now I'm trying to listen to sounds from different programs, same effect : nothing | 16:31 |
| AciD__ | i tried with clementine, juk, kaffeine, vlc.. | 16:31 |
| AciD__ | I'd hate to reboot for this :o | 16:31 |
| AciD__ | is there a service sound restart cmd I could use ? | 16:32 |
| AciD__ | I tried /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart but it tells me : PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | AciD__, that means you have to at least logout and back in again to restart pulseaudio ...personally i don't use pulseaudio , alsamixer does the job on my setup | 16:35 |
| AciD__ | BluesKaj: I use the default kubuntu config, perhaps not even pusleaudio, though it's running "/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog" | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | AciD__, just look in system settings>multimedia>phonon | 16:38 |
| AciD__ | hum | 16:38 |
| AciD__ | just got the sound back after going to alsamixer and disabling auto-mute | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | check what audio playback device is in use | 16:39 |
| AciD__ | not sure why this changed something | 16:39 |
| AciD__ | BluesKaj: gstreamer, got only this backend | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | gstreamer is ok , but since vlc is my media player , I use the vlc phonon plugin | 16:40 |
| AciD__ | to be exact, I disabled auto-mute, then tried to output sounds with mpg123 | 16:40 |
| AciD__ | I didn't know there was a phonon backend for vlc | 16:41 |
| AciD__ | is it necessary, I mean, I use vlc with kde without problem | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | AciD__, are you on 10.10 ? | 16:42 |
| AciD__ | nop, 11.04 | 16:43 |
| AciD__ | with kde 4.6.2 | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | odd, alsamixer no longer shows automute here , kde 4.7 | 16:45 |
| BluesKaj | I fail to see why kde 4.7 would delete it | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | or how | 16:46 |

| kevin_ | but my partitions are premounted | 17:07 |

| BluesKaj | if you have access to the drive in dolphin >places, whynot just copy and paste | 17:11 |
| kevin_ | i tried through the dolphin then too the error is coming! | 17:11 |

| xcv | Hello?? I am looking for a package manager GUI similar to YaST2 but i can't find anyone as complete as it. Do you know about anyone | 23:18 |
| szal | xcv: YaST is much more than a package manager | 23:29 |
| xcv | szal: yes, i know, but what i need is just a similar package manager, i feel very comfortable with it | 23:31 |
| * szal does package management exclusively on the commandline | 23:32 | |
| draik | szal: Me too :D | 23:32 |
| KimLaroux | Is there a way to change the order tasks changed upon scroll wheel in the task bar? It's the ONLY place on my desktop where it goes from left to right, Very annoying | 23:33 |
| KimLaroux | s/changed/changes | 23:33 |
| draik | s/changes/change | 23:33 |

| KimLaroux | yeah, lol, I thought of it after.. English isn't my native language ;) | 23:34 |
| szal | xcv: no.. fairly obviously ^^ | 23:34 |
| draik | xcv: I didn't get your question, but Kubuntu already comes with one. | 23:34 |
| draik | KimLaroux: I've not heard of that issue. Seems pretty odd that your scroll is 90'd | 23:35 |
| xcv | what i'm asking for is a similar package manager GUI to yast in (k)ubuntu because i feel much more comfortable with it than with kpackagekit, software center or synaptic | 23:36 |
| KimLaroux | https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228886 it's this bug. I run KDE 4.4.5. The bug report is said to be fixed, I suppose the ones running newer version can confirm this? | 23:39 |
| ubottu | KDE bug 228886 in widget-taskbar "Mouse wheel over task manager switches windows in wrong order" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] | 23:39 |
| draik | Sorry, I cannot replicate | 23:41 |
| xcv | the wheel on the taskbar works fine for me ( kubuntu-desktop in natty, kde 4.6.2) | 23:42 |
| szal | draik: w/ the same KDE version? | 23:42 |
| szal | xcv: obviously, if the bug is marked as fixed ;) | 23:43 |
| xcv | i didn't see that lol | 23:44 |
| xcv | some package manager? | 23:44 |
| draik | I believe so. How do I check my KDE version? | 23:51 |
| KimLaroux | draik, I just go to a native KDE app and under Help > About KDE (Amarok, Dolphin, K3b...) | 23:52 |
