=== james is now known as Guest2906 === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [00:18] Grr.... === mfm is now known as Guest90545 [01:20] I think my package manager is broken - fresh install. Any help? [01:21] what makes you think it's broken ? [01:21] sorry , b0rked [01:21] Right, b0rked. [01:22] Well, I can install any packages, or download any packages. [01:22] define "can't" , does it return any error messages ? [01:22] Yep. http://pastebin.com/wksXDZeV [01:22] sec [01:24] hm .. I've seen that issue like a gazillion times , I cant be of help sorry [01:24] Yikes. Thanks, anyway. [01:24] though I suggest checking that ISO for defects [01:24] yw [01:24] I actually used Wubi. [01:24] Wubi? yuck [01:24] that explains it [01:24] No it doesn't. :-P [01:25] never been of fan of it frankly [01:25] Hate if you want, but I have multiple Wubi installs on office machiens that work beautifully [01:25] *machines [01:25] this one doesnt seem perfect though :P [01:25] corinth: run 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages' and try again [01:26] an "actual" install is suggested [01:26] or try yofel 's suggestion :P [01:26] stuff in /var/lib/apt/lists is generated by apt-get update, so removing them is ok [01:27] I've forgotten though why apt errors out there [01:27] yofel: I did that, now I'm doing an apt-get update. Doesn't look good. I'll post the output to a pastebin in a moment. [01:30] yorfel: http://pastebin.com/qejuQE2J [01:31] ? [01:31] hello [01:32] corinth: @_@ - never seen that yet. as for the last one run 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* ' [01:32] I know, it's a pickle of a problem. Heh. [01:33] Ok. I did that. Still the same problem. [01:33] Is there a way to reconfigure the package mangager, like with dpkg or something? Or am I talking nonsense? >_> [01:35] corinth: can you try a different mirror? [01:36] I've already tried that. I switched from the US mirror to the main. [01:36] and this isn't a dpkg problem, but apt somehow can't download the lists right and they seem to end up corrupt [01:37] alguno habla español?

[03:15] Somebody mind walking through it with me? [03:46] Anybody??? [03:50] Bueller? [03:52] Who the heck is Bueller? [03:52] !details | LINKSWORD2 [03:52] LINKSWORD2: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:55] I've put the CD for Kubuntu 10.10 into the disc drive for this HP Pavilion dv1000 I'm working on, and it seems to load up. Then the disc drive slows down and the screen comes up with Process 232: GLib-Warning: Unknown User ID. [03:55] LINKSWORD2, md5 the iso yet? burn at very low speed and do the disk integrity check? [03:56] I know the disk works because I've used it to install on this system I'm running right now, an ancient Compaq Presario desktop. [03:57] then try some bootoptions, or use the alternate installer [03:57] !bootoptions > LINKSWORD2 [03:57] LINKSWORD2, please see my private message [03:57] !alternate | LINKSWORD2 [03:57] LINKSWORD2: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal [03:58] Hmm.... [03:58] Are the language packs necessary? [03:59] necessary for what? [03:59] Or can I prevent them from installing? [04:00] I would hope that most people in the USA know English.... Especially my friend I'm installing this for. [04:00] Would I be able to prevent Kubuntu from installing additional and unnecessary language packs? [04:00] dont see how that relates to your initial problem [04:00] LINKSWORD2: If your friend knows enough english to get to the package manager then the language packs are not needed [04:01] We both natively speak English. xD [04:01] FINALLY!!! [04:02] ? [04:02] You both finally speak English? [04:02] ... /me ignores draik's comment. [04:02] LINKSWORD2, did you have any actual other support questions? [04:03] Finally got to where I can get Kubuntu installed. [04:03] I may have questions about wireless connectivity, in about an hour. [04:09] LINKSWORD2: kk [04:09] Wow. It seems my connection dropped.... [04:23] Is there a way I can test a system's speed in Kubuntu? === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [04:31] and I'm back baby [04:32] ... You were gone?

[04:44] doublem9: Best guess would be that it didn't recover from sleep mode. [04:45] doublem9: I used to have screen issues with sleep/hibernate on my laptop. It wouldn't recover so I'd have to restart my laptop.

My package manager is broken. I could use some help fixing it. [18:55] wondering what else values it can take [18:56] markit: it's probably some enumeration [18:56] usually is a true/false thing [18:56] the only way I know of to look, is to look in the source code [18:56] :) [18:56] probably is some hundred of files with no clue to what look for [18:57] I have solved my problem, I don't need help anymore ;) [18:57] Also, after adjusting my monitor resolution, the panel won't stretch beyond the 1280 pixel mark :-( [18:58] hope I can put in /etc/kde4 to have a global config, let's try [19:02] wow, works :) [19:03] corinth: do you mean that you enter the config of the panel and was not able to dragi it to max width of the screen? [19:03] corinth: if you select "maximize panel"?

I don't want "change user" or hybernato or so on [19:04] also I would like to remove the possibility of create/change activities [19:05] is too confusing for the children's level (or better, for the teacher's level...)

Cheap USB MP3 player. [22:44] Besides... Amarok supports iPods. lol [22:45] out of curiosity.. those that are on KDE 4.7 _and_ either Oneiric or using the ttf-ubuntu-font-family package from Oneiric -- does KDE use the correct font strength, i.e. Regular and not Medium? [22:46] when font is set to Ubuntu Regular, that is [22:46] LINKSWORD2: I've the feeling he did not owned a PC also, lol [22:46] It appears to work properly for me, szal [22:47] Oh yes, markit, he owns a PC.

[23:22] LINKSWORD2: you see that when you compare the menu font in KDE and Gtk apps [23:22] Either your systems are glitching, or mine is, yet mine is providing the normal result.... [23:29] hi people [23:30] LINKSWORD2: http://h5.abload.de/img/20110815_ffoxkonsolegkl2.png <- see here the difference between the Firefox menu and the Konsole menu [23:32] Konsole's menu texts appear to be slightly bolder... [23:34] LINKSWORD2: imho that's a bit more than slightly [23:37] But for all we know, it could be an effect applied to the top active window.

[23:52] ... === _BS_ is now known as Guest90931 [23:52] I am trying to find which package provides stubs-32.h [23:53] as that is what a compile complained about [23:53] MalfermitaKodo: libc6-dev-i386 (I used apt-file to find it) [23:53] soee: sleepy, but yes [23:53] ty [23:54] ah, thank you very much for the help for next time [23:54] Yup. I came up with glibc-devel, but yeah, what yofel provided is what you want. [23:54] yofel, when editing decoration settings under option to group windows, there is option to Turn on animation - what exactly is it for ? [23:54] soee: I can't say I have any cpu peaks here with 4.7 and nvidia. Does disabling compositing change something? [23:55] hm, looking [23:55] yofel, if i turn it off all works smooth [23:55] then it's either a driver issue or kwin [23:56] also if i change decoration to something other than oxygen all works fine [23:56] but i like oxygen so i had to turn off this option [23:56] and all works similiar like on 4.6.5 [23:57] no idea what the animations setting is about though [23:57] ;] [23:58] gah... now the workaround requires a 32 bit version of certain other shared libs... [23:58] if you open 'oxygen-settings' there's a bunch of animations that can be used, maybe it's a simple setting for thme [23:58] *them [23:59] yofel, they are all ON here and works fien even if this option i mentioned is turned off [23:59] aaaah, just had to delte the -m32 flag [23:59] then I'm clueless (without looking at the code which I'm too tired for now) :/
