How do I change my mouse cursor for GTK applications? [02:49] ive changed the cursor in system settings, but in firefox etc when I put the mouse over it reverts back [02:56] nobody? :( [03:07] Is UbuntuOne available in Kubuntu or is "OwnCloud" the Kubuntu equivalent? [03:10] Rod_J, try in #ubuntuone perhaps [03:10] OK, thanks [03:10] no reason you cannot use it with Kubuntu afaik === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [03:43] Tried everything that I could find on the net to make youtube work on my ff, which worked flawlessly on 10.10, but refuses to go beyond a black screen in 11.04 [03:43] any insights? [03:45] I guess #firefox is the place where I should be posing this question. [06:32] Hi guys [06:33] How do I check if grub is installed from the terminal in a live cd [06:33] I'm running dual boot on ms osx [06:34] Floclo: if you're using your system, grub should be installed - you can try pressing the 'shift' key, or wait for grub to show up. [06:34] Not working... [06:34] Alright [06:34] I have followed the dual boot instructions... [06:34] On ubuntu forums [06:34] But [06:34] Did you install windows before or after? [06:35] After finishing install I try to boot to kubuntu and I get no os found [06:35] I had osx lion first [06:36] I'm dual booting to kubuntu [06:36] Can I manually install to the kubuntu partition [06:37] Or maybe there is another issue [06:38] Any suggestions Linkmaster ? [06:38] my laptop has issues detecting smb shares if its been connected to another network. Have to reboot to get things working properly there must be a way to do this via terminal [06:38] Try installing grub into the kubuntu installation. I don't deal with OS X, so I'm not the best in the world for that [06:39] Yea how do I install manually? [06:39] redeyyez: you can ssh, if you know how[I don't know well enough to teach though, just giving you google ideas] [06:40] Floclo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [06:40] Linkmaster: thanks for the idea, i was leaning more towards a command to restart network services or something along that line [06:40] I found instructions for ubuntu but I can't use su [06:40] I wouldn't know about that, other then bringing down your network interface with ifconfig [06:41] Oohh [06:41] Floclo: supposed to be sudo [06:41] Floclo: using a live cd, just type 'sudo' and it'll be executed automatically [06:41] Floclo: ubuntu doesn't like 'su' alone. sudo su works, though [06:41] New site thanks Linkmaster and Shirakawasuna awesome help [06:41] Will seevhow i go [06:43] good luck [06:44] no one has a lot of networking experience with kubuntu? [06:45] redeyyez: wait patiently. there are a lot of skilled people in the channel, but not all are at their clients at the moment [06:45] tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart sometimes this helps [06:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConfigurationCommandLine/Automatic#Configure laptops for multiple locations Nice read here for future use. [07:04] Hey guys still going with this grub issue. In the mean time I thought I would chat about beginning with Linux [07:04] Any one got good resources for beginners to learn the system. [07:06] Floclo: Best way to learn is to use it. [07:06] Floclo: And google for solutions if you have problems. [07:07] Unlike windows, most error messages on lunx can be copy-pasted. [07:07] Yea I'm trying to get dual boot on the Mac [07:07] Wow [07:07] Adavanced usecase... [07:07] Yeah problems ATM [07:07] ? [07:08] having never ownes or used or even touched a mac I cant help you with that im afraid:( === daniel3_ is now known as daniel3 [07:08] Lol yeah there are guides online [07:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook <- this looks through- [07:10] Hey should kubuntu install grub by default? [07:10] It does usually [07:10] but boot ing for mac-s is abit different so I dont know. [07:11] I'm trying to work out if it is installed on the partition I installed kubuntu to [07:11] Do you know how ican tell the terminal to look at dev/sda5 to see if it's installed? [07:12] It would be easier to look in the config file and see if it is where it should be [07:13] then just run grub-install in chroot to make sure its installed. [07:15] Were should it be if I'm looking in that drive [07:15] hmm /dev/sda5 is a partition... [07:16] I dont know how mac-s work but on pc-s default location for grub is the mbr [07:17] you only ever install it on partition if you want to do chain loading I think :/ [07:17] Ohhh I [07:17] Am thinking I don't know enough either yet [07:18] yeah... Wait for a mac user to show. [07:18] I didn't want to install to mbr incase I screw my osx install [07:18] Or take some risks and experiment:) [07:18] Yeah. [07:18] if you dont install it in mbr then you need to configure your os-x loader to chainload. [07:19] but I dont know how thats done:) [07:19] find a guide:) [07:19] maybe you need that bootcamp thingy. [07:20] Yeah I've got refix as the boot loader [07:21] I've got a tut for ubuntu should it all work the same for kubuntu because if so it hasn't! [07:23] Any Mac users here"!? [07:24] So weird... I've got the got saying the kubuntu partition is basic data?! [08:37] is vim on kubuntu broken? when i yank some line in visual mode, close the file, open another file and try to paste the stuff, the (default) register "" is empty. how come? [08:38] vim on ubuntu itself (other machine) works as expected. [08:44] tobago: compare *buntu version and package version, then either answer your question yourself or question its validity ;) [08:46] tobago: only thing I could think of is messing around with the klipper settings. Maybe that messes up the clipboard handling [08:46] or close klipper and check if it works then [08:47] szal: ubuntu (kernel 2.6.24-29-generic): vim --version --> 7.1 / kubuntu (kernel 2.6.38-10-generic): vim --version --> 7.3 [08:47] well, that's two different vim versions, but it works fine for me in 7.3 [08:48] kernel 2.6.24? that's a heck of an unsupported version.. [08:48] szal: well on that kernel vim works perfectly. [08:49] smells like Intrepid or Jaunty [08:49] it's hardy [08:49] szal: even worse: heron ;) [08:49] yofel right [08:49] which has ended its life recently even on the server [08:49] er, no, it hasn't [08:50] er, yes, it has [08:50] !hardy [08:50] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [08:50] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases server supported till april 2013 [08:50] szal: the desktop is not support any longer. but that's another story... it's because on that machine the gma500 intel chipset is not supported by linux. [08:50] ah, on the desktop, ok [08:50] in newer versions the x11 doesn't support that chipset. [08:51] anyway. i just want to get vim running on the current kubuntu... [08:51] i means, it runs, but not as expected due to yanking/pasting in the register. [08:52] yofel alright. i try killing klipper and then try the yanking/pasting again. [08:53] I've klipper synchronised to xclipboard, matters maybe [08:53] well, coffee break, bbl [08:53] yofel: mmh. killed klipper but still the same issue. [08:54] maybe a setting in the vimrc? [09:28] hey there! Any idea why it might be that I can use toslink in vlc, but my browsers won't play sound in flash and html5 (guess in everything else that has sound, too)? I checked opera and firefox. [09:39] Machtin: pulse could be the problem [09:40] feared that it might be.. fixable problem or would i have to remove pulse? [09:40] Machtin: well you could kill pulse [09:40] the sudo alsa force-reload [09:40] then [09:46] still no sound === LarsT is now known as LarsTorben [09:56] hello.

[15:55] :D [15:56] i wanna install a win game on my kubuntu and i don't know commands to run a iso file.... [15:57] I used to know this one, did it quite a few times awhile ago, give me a second [15:59] Its faily depedant on where you want to mount it, but sudo mkdir /media/iso sudo modprobe loop sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop is what your looking for [15:59] i want only to open that iso and install [16:00] It can be shortened to "sudo mount /path/to/file.iso iso9660 -o loop" but the mounting directory makes life easier [16:01] I did this when trying to install neverwinternights, so from my experience, the best way to go about what you want is to "sudo mkdir /mnt/isoname" then "sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /mnt/isoname is9660 -o loop" to have it mount in the /mnt directory. Once thats done, using wine or whatever, you can select the installation .exe [16:02] let me try that [16:07] found in mnt directory only game folder but empty [16:08] you know if i can run installed games using wine?

Using Ver 11.04 of Ubuntu, I notice that DigiKam lost its main taskbar but after a restart the taskbar would sometimes appear. Recently I found the same problem with Kubuntu. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem and offer a solution? [18:31] anyone good w/ iptables? [18:31] The man page for it doesntdo me justice on what I want/need to acoomplish [18:34] raevin: wat do u want to accomplish.. [18:35] vikapi: I have all my rules in the NAT table right now, because I need the pre-routing feature...however, I want to have a drop rule as well at the end of it all, but if I do iptables -A INPUT -j DROP, it filters before my NAT rules can come into effect [18:35] should i do iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport -j ACCEPT too before the drop? [18:38] well, i did that and it's not working either o.o [18:47] Hi, been experiencing this weird problem...after a few days of everything running smoothly, my system will refuse to start any new processes...anything that I attempt to run simply appears in the taskbar as loading, disappears and never starts [18:48] it's happened a few times, the only way to correct being restart, just happened right now (i currently can't start anything, can't even open a Konsole to see what's up) [18:48] Pi^2: what does sysctl fs.file-max return? [18:49] fs.file-max = 384044 [18:49] and i just checked my ps x output via xchat's /exec command...the processes im attempting to start are indeed "running", but not displaying on the GUI [18:49] do sysctl fs.file-max=790759 && sysctl -p [18:49] might have to be root [18:50] samething happened my server a few times, the file descriptor/handles are set to a low amount [18:50] k, sec [18:50] yup [18:52] hm, this did not appear to resolve the issue [18:53] or must i restart my xsession? [18:53] does it ressolve after you restart your computer? you can try, doesn't hurt lol [18:54] i did this on a headless machine so i can't say if x could cause it, but it owuldn't surprise me [18:54] well, the problem resolves when I restart, but it always comes back after a few days [18:54] ex, my uptime is about 6 days, which started when I had to reboot to fix the issue the last time around ^ [18:55] sounds like a file descriptor issue, but i thought the changes took effect immediately. does it happen still if you just log out n log back in? [18:55] i'll find out (about to disconnect) [18:55] k [18:57] yea , relogging fixed the issue [18:58] maybe had to relog in for the sysctl settings to take effect o.o [18:58] glad it's fixed now :) [18:58] :) [18:58] ty [18:58] hi [18:58] np Pi^2 :D [18:58] hey gadmin [19:01] i have problem [19:01] with my ubuntu [19:01] can somebody help me [19:01] Why don't you tell us [19:02] We can't help if we don't know anything thats wrong [19:02] Though, if its ubuntu, you should try #ubuntu [19:02] i can't open my csharp applications with mono [19:03] mono can open net framework based applications and i can't i have kubuntu [19:08] what directory are the plasma themes at? [19:09] hi! how i can mount an iso to install a application, i using kubuntu [19:12] reno__: sudo mkdir /media/iso && sudo mount -o loop / /media/iso [19:12] not sure if there's a KDE-specific or GUI way, but that's the CLI way [19:12] count where i have isofile? [19:13] reno__: what do you mean? [19:13] i have theat iso file in home/downloads/file.iso [19:13] if the iso is at /storage/isos/super.iso, then the command would be mkdir /media/iso && sudo -o loop /storage/isos/super.iso /media/iso [19:15] clear [19:17] anybody know the answer to my question? [19:18] what directory are the plasma themes at? [19:18] rectec794613: have you tried doing a grep -r -H "" /usr for a specific theme to see whre its at? [19:21] doesnt show. my friend helped me with a theme not working the other day and he told me where the themes are but i dont remember now that the problem happened again [19:21] he told me where to go to delete the theme files [19:23] raevin: do you know where they are? [19:25] rectec794613: sadly no, i'd only assume they're either in /usr or your home directory somewhere [19:28] ok i'll do some digging around and tell you if i find it [19:28] rectec794613: If you are looking for the Desktop Themes directory, they are at /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme (unless a downloaded theme was installed, in which case it will be in your user home directory (hidden)) [19:30] rectec794613: If a downloaded/installed Desktop Theme, then look in ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme [19:30] oh ok [19:30] looks like it might work [19:31] yeah i think that's it [19:31] Snowhog: thanks [19:37] Snowhog: is the desktoptheme directory sopposed to be owned by root? === skreech_ is now known as DaskreecH [19:37] rectec794613: If you are referring to the one in your user home directory, no. In /usr/share/..., yes. [19:41] Snowhog: is there a reason why the changes made (installing/uninstalling themes) in the "Get Hot New Stuff" program don't make a difference in ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme? [19:43] rectec794613: IIUC, when you download/install new Themes from "Get Hot New Stuff", they are installed in the users home directory. [19:43] doesnt make a difference with me unless i manually delete the theme folder [19:43] rectec794613: Are you saying that when you did so (downloaded/installed), that the resulting theme is showing as owned by root? [19:44] no my home folder's desktoptheme directory is owned by me; i was looking at the wrong one before [19:46] Snowhog: sorry forgot to add ur name to my post [19:48] Snowhog: wow hold on. got another problem. my entire desktop changed back to the way it was a week ago [19:48] Snowhog: again [19:49] i need somebody to help me through this [19:49] rectec794613: Well, did you just delete a theme directory? [19:50] Snowhog: no [19:50] Snowhog: left everything as it was [19:50] rectec794613: And it just 'magically' changed while you were looking at it?? [19:50] Snowhog: but my wallpaper, widgets, icons, theme, and more are changed [19:50] Snowhog: yeah im not kidding [19:51] Snowhog: it happened once before [19:51] rectec794613: What did you do just before it happened? [19:51] Snowhog: switched desktops [19:51] rectec794613: Do you have separate activities for desktops set? [19:52] Snowhog: no but i use compiz [19:52] rectec794613: So, if you switch back to the previous desktop, does it all look okay on that one? [19:53] Snowhog: no all four of them are like that. ok well i can change it back but i need to know how to prevent this, and i think it has something to do with the themes [19:54] Snowhog: lemme restart and i'll come back [19:57] Snowhog: ok back [19:57] Snowhog: i think i know why [19:58] Snowhog: are the wallpaper and widgets, etc all stored in the desktoptheme's theme folder? [20:00] Snowhog: side problem: how come if i try to open the trash it says "Malformed URL trash:/" [20:00] rectec794613: Desktop Themes come with their own color scheme and widgets. I don't believe they come with their own wallpaper. [20:01] Snowhog: what if you change the wallpaper while using the theme? [20:02] rectec794613: I don't believe so. Wallpaper selection is not specifically part of a Desktop Theme package. [20:04] Snowhog: well gimme a second gonna restart again [20:07] Snowhog: hm well if you dont have a solution i guess i'll just change everything back, do a backup and hope for the best [20:07] rectec794613: I don't use Compiz, as Kwin works just fine for my needs. [20:08] Snowhog: yeah i just dont wanna reconfigure everything [20:14] Snowhog: wait lol [20:14] Snowhog: omg i cant believe this [20:15] Snowhog: i was pressing super+tab because its the hotkey to my window switcher [20:15] Snowhog: turns out its also used to switch desktop styles [20:16] Snowhog: unbelievable [20:16] Snowhog: all this trouble over nothing [20:17] rectec794613: A keyboard shortcut that controls two actions!? I didn't think that was possible. [20:17] Snowhog: no sometimes they take over eachother; sometimes the compiz hotkey works, sometimes its the kde [20:18] rectec794613: Simple fix then. Reconfigure either one so that the keyboard shortcut key combo is different. [20:19] Snowhog: yeah thats a huge load off my shoulders (no pun intended) i thought i had a serious problem there [20:22] Snowhog: ok so anything i can do about the malformed url error when opening the trash? [20:23] rectec794613: Delete the Trash widget and readd it. See if it works then. [20:24] Snowhog: im having the problem with the kickoff shortcut under "Computer" [20:24] I come from windows and I'm used to the WinSDK, where do I look to make applications in kubuntu? Not QT if at all. [20:25] rectec794613: Clarify please? [20:25] Hi. I am using dolphin to sftp into one of my servers. I added it as a network folder, but it always prompts me 3 times for my password, even when 'save password' is checked. Is there a way to make dolphin use kwallet or something similart so it doesn't ask me for the password again? [20:27] rectec794613: Okay, understand. You are trying to open Trash via K > Computer > Trash and it won't let you, saying malformed URL [20:27] Snowhog: exactly [20:28] rectec794613: Can you open the Trash from the Trash widget (either on your Panel or the Desktop, assuming it's in one of those locations)? [20:29] Snowhog: no, the only way i can is by opening dolphin and going to it through the places menu [20:30] rectec794613: Which Desktop Theme are you using, and what version of Kubuntu and KDE? [20:31] Snowhog: H2O, Kubuntu 11.04, KDE 4.6.2 [20:33] rectec794613: If you change Desktop Themes, to Oxygen say, does the problem persist - can you access the Trash via K > Computer > Trash? [20:33] Snowhog: yeah same problem [20:34] Snowhog: if its any problem with you i dont need to access trash that way *that bad* [20:35] rectec794613: Has this been a problem 'always' for you, or can you remember when it first became a problem? [20:36] Snowhog: i think its always been like this. i've had problems from the start using this on my new pc, and have been through several reinstallations [20:37] Snowhog: whats KIOExec? should i reinstall it? [20:39] rectec794613: You might want to concider upgrading to KDE 4.6.4 (you are behind with your 4.6.2 release). [20:42] whenever i check for updates it gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/5DjT6EuZ I'm using Muon [20:42] Need help getting a ATI 6870 and nVidia GTX 260 to both work with Kubuntu 11.04, want to run 2 monitors on the 6870(in DVI already done) [20:42] plus one on DVI on the 260 [20:42] sorry i mean [20:42] Snowhog: whenever i check for updates it gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/5DjT6EuZ I'm using Muon [20:46] rectec794613: Change to a different Server in Muon > Settings > Configure Software Sources > Kubuntu Software > Download from (I use Server for the United States) [20:47] Snowhog: yeah thats what im using. should i just delete those repos? [20:48] Snowhog: or uncheck? [20:56] rectec794613: Those entries are written incorrectly. [20:57] rectec794613: What ppa's from launchpad had you tried to add? [20:58] Snowhog: i havent added those [20:59] Snowhog: cant check for updates and the only one i have to do is for wine [20:59] rectec794613: Well, someone did, as ppa repositories are not included in a Kubuntu installation. [21:00] Snowhog: so what should i do? [21:00] rectec794613: I would delete them myself - they don't work as written anyway. [21:01] Snowhog: can i do that from a terminal? i dont see them listed in the software sources [21:02] rectec794613: If you want to upgrade to KDE 4.6.4 (recommended IMO), you do so by closing Muon (if it's running) and open a console and type: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa followed by sudo apt-get update and then sudo apg-get dist-upgrade [21:03] Snowhog: ok hopefully muon will be better once it finally rolls around as the official package manager and installer of kubuntu [21:03] rectec794613: As to deleting those malformed ppa entries, open Muon and go to Software Sources and locate the entries there and delete them. [21:04] Snowhog: as i said before, i cant find the exact same repo's as the error lists. what should i look for? [21:06] Snowhog: gonna backup my home folder then do the upgrade [21:06] rectec794613: In Software Sources click on the Other Software tab and look for the ones with ppa in them [21:08] Snowhog: should i delete all the ppa's? thats like 3/4ths of the list [21:08] rectec794613: Take a screenshot and post to pastebin so I can look at what you have. [21:12] what site do i use for pics? [21:12] rectec794613: http://pastebin.com like you did earlier [21:13] rectec794613: Hmm. If pastebin won't allow images to be posted, then post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. [21:14] Snowhog: i just dont know how to do it on pastebin [21:15] Snowhog: can i just send it please? [21:15] rectec794613: Sure. [21:19] Snowhog: not getting it? [21:23] kubuntu's version of dmidecode is broken or not uptodate. It reports "" for DDR3 SO-DIMMs. [21:43] Where do I change/set my default browser again? [21:45] IdleOne: System Settings>Default Applications>Web Browser [21:47] rectec794613: thank you :) [21:47] simple solutions evade me :/ [21:48] IdleOne: No problem [22:10] Evening, I have a problem concerning apt-get i was installing drivers for kubuntu and it got stucked so i forced the process to stop and the lock remained, after deleting it manually i got an error mesage that i interrupted apt-get and i had to run "dpkg --configure -a" now i get the following output: http://paste.kde.org/107335/ anyone can help me? [22:18] Hey guys, can I change the colors of the popup system notification for notices from Amarok? [22:19] erinaceus: can you do this? sudo apt-get update -f [22:19] or -f update, forgot which way it goes [22:20] I believe it's update -f [22:20] raevin: nope, produces the same error message [22:20] I haven't used that command in a while. xD [22:22] erinaceus: what does cat /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0002 give? [22:22] LINKSWORD2: lol, me neither, surprised i even remembered it exists lol [22:23] I need to change the colors of the popup system notifications.. And if I can, set specific colors for specific notices. [22:24] raevin: just 512 lines saying "#padding" and an empty one at the end [22:24] erinaceus: try deleting the file [22:25] LINKSWORD2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1318289 [22:25] dunno if it'll work, but it looks like it will [22:26] raeving: Seems to have worked, sry to have bothered u when the solution was this obvious but i just reinstalled kubuntu after crashing it by attempting something like that :D So i hesitated, thx [22:26] LINKSWORD2: otherwise, look here: http://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual/ConfiguringAmarok [22:26] erinaceus: it's no prob :) better to ask than to have abroken system, lol. [22:27] raeving: Yeah, that's what i thought too [22:27] Snowhog: ok its finished [22:28] rectec794613: Wow! You must have a very good Broadband connection. Have you rebooted (did it require you to) yet? [22:28] Snowhog: haha well its just basic cable. ok i'll go reboot, wish me luck === yofel_ is now known as yofel [22:29] Snowhog: didnt require me to, but now i think the update notifier's working, just no updates listed [22:30] Snowhog: do it anyway? [22:30] rectec794613: And are you now running KDE 4.6.4 (About > KDE) [22:31] Snowhog: still says 4.6.2, a restart couldnt hurt [22:31] Looks like I need to update / upgrade Amarok. [22:32] Terminal isn't accepting my command, although I may be entering it incorrectly... [22:32] LINKSWORD2: what does the cli give you? [22:33] .... Excuse me? CLI? [22:34] the command prompt/terminal [22:34] what command ar eyou running and what happens when u do [22:34] rectec794613: In Software Sources > Updates tab, check Important and Recommended updates and under Release upgrade, select Normal Releases [22:34] Snowhog: You just said what I needed. Thanks. [22:35] lol [22:36] ... Maybe not. [22:36] Snowhog: it already was like that [22:36] Anyways, raevin... sudo apt-get install amarok -update [22:36] rectec794613: Then I'd shutdown and reboot. [22:37] Snowhog: ok brb [22:37] LINKSWORD2: what happens when you do that command? [22:38] "Not found" lol [22:38] LINKSWORD2: well, it was also written in 2009, lol. here, follow this: http://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual/ConfiguringAmarok#Notifications [22:38] LINKSWORD2: sorry, didn't see that until i sent you the ubuntu link [22:40] raevin: What I want is to change the color of the SYSTEM NOTIFICATIONS [22:40] No, I'm not shouting. I'm emphasizing what I want to change. [22:41] Snowhog: ok it updated to 4.6.5, and for some reason, my Google background image changed [22:42] LINKSWORD2: sorry, guess i mis-understood since you mentioned amarok in your original question/support msg o.o [22:42] rectec794613: KDE 4.6.5 is the latest 'stable' version - it's what I'm using. Good job. [22:42] No prob. [22:43] If it's possible to change the color of the system notification for specific application related notices, that's what I want to do... [22:43] Thus why I mentioned Amarok. [22:45] !remaster [22:45] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [22:53] Snowhog: i think my lists are the same. i still keep getting the 404 error [22:55] rectec794613: On the same to lists - boxee and ppa.launchpad? [22:55] *two [22:57] Snowhog: exactly the same as last time: http://pastebin.com/5DjT6EuZ [22:59] Snowhog: got a backup of sources.list.d. gonna sudo rm the respective repos [23:05] Snowhog: ok well all i could delete in the sources.list.d folder was boxee, that fixed the 404 on *that*, however the ppa's are still getting 404s and i cant find them in the sources.list.d folder [23:06] Snowhog: trying sources.list [23:07] Snowhog: no luck [23:09] rectec794613: You won't find it in that file. The one that is producing the 404 is going to be /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubuntu-ppa-ppa-natty.list You can verify that by commenting (unchecking) it in Software Sources > Other Software tab. [23:09] hello all, just looking for advice === david is now known as Guest51948 [23:10] I am trying to find a utility of application that allows me to record a macro or actions via GUI [23:12] !system notification [23:13] Guest51948: Let me look for something. I think I know what I can recommend... [23:17] Snowhog: ok fixed it [23:18] Snowhog: i'll explain how [23:19] Snowhog: i did a sudo apt-get update from the terminal. it gave me errors different from the ones listed in muon. i cd'd to sources.list.d and sudo rm'd their files [23:19] Snowhog: updated again and it was fixed [23:20] rectec794613: Do you still have the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubuntu-ppa-ppa-natty.list file? [23:21] Snowhog: no i deleted it and it didnt solve any problems, should i restore it? [23:22] rectec794613: Well, it's the repository file that upgraded you to KDE 4.6.5, so without it, you'll not be able to get updates to your KDE 4.6.5 files you just upgraded to. [23:22] Snowhog: ok [23:25] Snowhog: ok i copied it back [23:25] Snowhog: thanks for ur help [23:27] rectec794613: After copying it back, and in a console, redo the update command: sudo apt-get update and see if you still get the 404 error. I'd be curious. [23:29] Snowhog: yeah i already did [23:30] Snowhog: no errors in term. no errors in muon [23:30] rectec794613: I use Muon, but not for package management. I always do my installs/removals/purges and updates/dist-upgrades from the console. [23:30] Hmm... [23:30] raevin, you still here? [23:31] rectec794613: I'm glad that you were able to get that small niggle resolved. [23:31] Snowhog: would i seem more pro if i did it like that? [23:31] LINKSWORD2: yearh, sorry, gf's over so kinda afk a bit [23:33] rectec794613: I choose to do it from the console with sudo apt-get because I like the user control it provides. I have nothing against Muon, and installed it back when it was first announced. I just prefer using the command line. I use Muon for 'finding' packages I might want to use. [23:33] claydoh: I think I need your help, mate. [23:33] Snowhog: yeah seems like apt-get can be faster. at least it seems like it is when words are whizzing past [23:34] LINKSWORD2: yes? [23:34] I'm missing some kind of script or plugin from the Notification Manager in System Settings. [23:35] .... I've also forgotten how to find images captured with KSnapshot. [23:37] LINKSWORD2: images usually save to where you tell it to, though the default is /Documents iirc [23:37] well later guys [23:38] !pastebin [23:38] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:38] ....or is it /Desktop === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu_ === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu [23:39] LINKSWORD2: as to notifications, more info needed [23:39] Trying to upload an image. imagebin is being a pain in the neck. [23:39] There we go.... http://imagebin.org/166862 [23:44] which kde version? kcm_knotify is in kdebase-runtime in 4.6 and earlier, kde-runtime in 4.7 [23:45] KDE 4.7. [23:47] it is part of kde-runtime, do you have [23:47] /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_knotify.so [23:47] .... Huh? [23:47] the image you have gives the error that kcm_knotify is missing [23:47] Clay, please explain more... And you may query if you need. [23:47] do you have the file /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_knotify.so [23:48] I honestly don't know... [23:48] well, take a looksee :P [23:48] How might I find that? [23:49] use a file manager, dolphin [23:51] No, it doesn't appear to be there. [23:52] my only suggestion on this is to try reinstalling the package kde-runtime, which will reinstall that file if it is missing [23:52] sudo apt-get install kde-runtime ??? [23:52] sure, or use a package manager of your choice. [23:53] may have to add ''--reinstall'' if it already installed [23:54] Well, I suppose I may have to find out.... [23:56] OK, good. [23:56] Now, claydoh if you don't mind, I have an additional question.... [23:57] LINKSWORD2: shoot [23:57] Bang! [23:57] xD [23:57] I would like to change the colors of the system notifications, and if possible, do so for notices from specific programs, like Amarok. [23:58] thats all in whatever plasma theme you use iirc [23:58] Uh.... ???? [23:59] I don't know a way to change just the notifications
