LINKSWORD2Hello, all.04:59
jschall_ok, so i have a high res laptop screen and a low res projector and i'd like to clone the laptop screen to the projector by scaling it down to the resolution of the projector. Failing that, I'm fine with having the laptop screen resolution drop to the projector resolution, but it needs to be easy to switch (my mother needs to be able to do it).05:27
kuuhmuhi i want to help . i use x chat to chat in irc but it can't login any sever it shown  "nick name is ready in use 'nick' try other nickname" wen i try it not happen.05:56
Unit193kuuhmu: Just what it says, the nick is registered by another person05:58
jmichaelxi just installed lirc, in order to configure some buttons on my pc remote. however, installing lirc caused my working remote to quit working. i purged lirc, but remote still does not work... any suggestions?06:00
Unit193Check battery?06:01
jmichaelxUnit193: it isn't the battery...06:01
jmichaelxthis has to do with lirc06:01
Unit193You may have better luck in #lirc (18 nicks in there)06:04
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
jmichaelxok, i figured it out. installing freaking lirc added several modules (one of which i need) to a blacklist. purging lirc (naturally) did NOT purge all the lirc config files. i commented out the blacklist, modprobed the module, and remote is working again.06:17
jmichaelxsort of ridiculous, but oh well....06:19

kriselinksword2 can u help me?08:41
LINKSWORD2krise, attempt to run your install or uninstall through the Konsole terminal.08:41
well_laid_lawnkrise: it is a permission issue do you have admin rights?08:41
kriseyes i have08:41

kriseno im tryng to install via kpackage kit08:42
well_laid_lawnyou need to check them, like the error said08:42
well_laid_lawn*the admin rights08:42
LINKSWORD2well_laid_lawn: I'll run the terminal again and get the readout, the same as I told krise to do.08:42
LINKSWORD2I'll be back in a minute or two with the results.08:42
krisewell_laid_lawn in terminal when i runn update command it works08:42
well_laid_lawnI was going to suggest that as a test08:43
LINKSWORD2:p08:43
kriseso masterbrains :) how can we fix this problem08:44
well_laid_lawnkrise: you'll need to check how kde sees your rights then08:44
krisewell_laid_lawn how can i doo that08:44
kriseim newbe, ba patient :)08:44
well_laid_lawnI don't have a kde box here atm - it'll be in the menu under system settings or something08:45
well_laid_lawnnormally as users and groups08:46
LINKSWORD2well_laid_lawn: Seems that the debug sequence hasn't come up with any conclusive results....08:48
LINKSWORD2However, even after a couple minutes, it's apparently still running command in groups.08:49
well_laid_lawntry this for a clue - http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=83663&start=1008:50
krisewell_laid_lawn i dont know what to look there ?08:51
well_laid_lawnI googled amarok crash and there was a few results..08:51
krisebehind root username is a lock08:51
well_laid_lawnI'd try another player until it's fixed LINKSWORD208:51
well_laid_lawnkrise: there is no root user in kubuntu08:52
well_laid_lawn!root08:52
ubottuDo 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/RootSudo08:52
krisewell_laid_lawn ok i find it, i have admin privileges08:54
geekosopherit seems ubottu is inspired by hollywood movies08:55
LINKSWORD2lol08:55
well_laid_lawnkrise: check in kpackagekit then - try an update08:55
krisewell_laid_lawn same problem with same error message08:56
krisewhen tryng to update in kpackage08:57
well_laid_lawnkrise: dunno what to say except stick to the commandline08:57
krisecant even put my password in08:57
well_laid_lawnyou can still search in kapckagekit?08:57
krisewell_laid_lawn yes i can08:58
well_laid_lawnso it never even asks for a password?08:58
krisenope, soon as i hit aplly it runs something and than gives me error08:58
well_laid_lawnit should ask for a password at startup or sometime08:59
kriseyes it did before08:59
LINKSWORD2Sounds like a problem with the KDE Wallet Manager.08:59
LINKSWORD2Go into the system control panel and check it.09:00

krisewhen im tryng to install-uninstall programs via kpackage it gives me a error09:37
kriseYou have failed to provide correct authentication.09:37
krisePlease check any passwords or account settings.09:37
kriseit comes up right before i can put in my password09:37
kriseupdate command works in terminal09:38
well_laid_lawndoes kpackagekit have a group you need to be in or something like that?09:38
kriseno i dont think so09:39
QuintasanUrgh, KPackageKit09:41
Quintasankrise: Did you try Muon?09:41
bigbrovarwell_laid_lawn: packagekit uses policykit for authentication, by default every user who is in the admin group is alliowed  to run a process that relies on policykit. if you are using the user created while installing the laptop. then that user is automatically added as a member of the admin group. if that user was manually created you need to specifically add the user to the admin group09:41
kriseQuintasan whats that09:41
Quintasankrise: The default package manager in Oneiric09:41
Quintasansudo apt-get install muon09:42
krisebigbrovar this problem started this morning, before i had no problems09:42
bigbrovarQuintasan: kpackagekit actually whats well for me no problems, if he is having authentication problems then its mostly a policykit issue which might also affect muon since that too is based on policykit09:42
QuintasanWell, technically that's right09:42
QuintasanBut sometimes KPackageKit expresses wildly unpreditctable behavior09:43
kriseill try muon09:45
well_laid_lawnbigbrovar: it was krise with the permission problem :)09:46
bigbrovaris anyone running kde/pim 4.7 on kubuntu 11.04? I find that sometimes akonadi just refuses to sync my mails. like the imap idle stops working and I have to manually initiate the fetch main command. this usually happens when I have a disconnection. The only way to get it back to syncing would be to restart akonadi (or in some cases restart) anyone experience this before09:46
kriseyes that was me09:46
bigbrovarwell_laid_lawn: oppss sorry :p09:46
well_laid_lawnnp :)09:46
krisebigbrovar can u give me advice?09:47
bigbrovarkrise: try muon and see if that works, if it doesn't then its most likely a policykit issue. if it does then its a packagekit problem09:48
kriseis muon ok for kde?09:48
osinclairkrise: there is a ppa for muon, search for that09:49
osinclairI am on version 1.2 or something and it is good, install also muon-installer for a nice gui09:50
bigbrovarkrise: yep and it would be the default package manager for Kubuntu 11.1009:50
krisesame problem with muon09:50
krisecan not install anyting09:51
bigbrovarkrise: then its a policykit issue (not that I know how to solve it)  what is the error again? can u post a screenshot?09:51
krisei installed muon via terminal09:51
kriseone sec09:51
kriseThis operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided09:52
bigbrovarkrise: have u tried rebooting?09:53
krisedont remember09:53
kriseill be back09:53
krisesorry guys- restart fixed everything09:58
krisethanks for muon do09:58
krisebut09:59
krisehow can i get my laptop mousepad right click work?10:00
kriseHP Probook 452010:00
bigbrovarkrise: yep problem some problems with policykit process failing.  its funny how many problems can be solved by restart.10:00
kriseyep10:00
bigbrovarkrise: u are in luck I use a probook 4420 and solved the clickpad issue with this post http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2011/05/24/better-clickpad-support-for-ubuntu-11-04/10:01
bigbrovarfollowing that would allow you to right click and also get multitouch working. although click to drag support is still missing. I am suppose to update the post on how to get the LED working for enabling and disabling the clickpad10:02
krisegoood10:03
kriseill try that10:03

ioniteOn some occasions I get stuck @ my login in screen till I click or hit enter.  Only then my desktop will show up.  Why is it so/13:25
ionitewhy do my firefox becomes so laggy when i'm typing web addresses?  there's always like a 2 second delay. how can i solve this?13:33
szalionite: observation here: don't start programs by click until the desktop has fully loaded; starting programs earlier may result in increased CPU usage13:34
ioniteszal: didnt start any programs becz i'm stuck @ the splash screen. now my bigger problem is strange lag & weird character appearing even w/o typing.13:36
ioniteszal: do u know why is firefox so laggy? how can i increase my diskcache?13:44
BluesKajionite, check your system monitor.maybe some process is hogging resources13:44
ioniteBluesKaj: how do i check and know which is hogging and which isn ot?13:45
BluesKajionite, , kmenu>apps>system>system monitor13:46
ioniteBluesKaj: i know. but it doesn't shows anything hogging? but even text typing in my firefox suffers 2 seconds delay13:46
ioniteBluesKaj: most of the time is 1 second delays but some occasions is 2 seconds delay13:47
BluesKajionite, try another browser to see if it lags13:48
ioniteBluesKaj: what's ur recommendations?13:50
BluesKajchromium-browser13:50
ioniteBluesKaj: is it better than Firefox?13:51
avihayI've noticed that lag too, I think it's something to do with the newer firefox, wasn't that bad with FF 3.6. probably can't be fixed without programming or disableing some of the (awsome?)bar's features13:51
BluesKajthat's a matter of taste and opinion , but chromium is lighter but less configurable in some ways13:52
avihayionite: depends on what you consider better13:52
ioniteavihay: u face the same prob too? i used Firefox because i can access internet banking.13:52
avihayI don't agree with lighter, I'll give it faster13:53
ioniteavihay: better meaning no lag and smooth web browsing.13:53
ioniteavihay: i tried rekonq and i don't quite like it though it's quite fast.13:53
ioniteavihay: now that i have firefox installed how do i install chrome? and how do i remove firefox?13:53
* BluesKaj accesses internet banking with chromium , but this is Canada ...banks here are slighty more software progressive13:53
avihaywell, chrome is faster, and more secure then Firefox without the script-block plug-in, but it's a memory hog13:53
avihayand I recomend you use chromioum instead of chrome, both of you13:54
ioniteavihay: chrome is a memory hog? but what's causing the lag in firefox? what's the difference? chrome and chromium?13:54
avihayheck, everyone should probably prefer chromium over chrome13:54
BluesKajavihay, read my post above13:54
* szal hasn't noticed any lag w/ FFox yet (6 running here)13:55
avihaythe difference between chrome and chromioum is in how much data is being sent to "big brother", and while "that's a matter of taste and opinion", I think it applies to most13:56
avihayszal: try using the bar to look for somth in your history, type three letters, and see if Firefox sorta hangs when you browse the result list13:57
ioniteavihay: BluesKaj szal my problem is that the web address field doesnt display the text as fast as i type. there's a 1 second delay and when i type fast it's a lot of text delay.13:57
avihaythat too13:59
szalavihay: no, it doesn't14:00
avihayit's tolerate-able for me since I rarely type in addresses, though the amount of tabs I have open is kinda absurd14:00
BluesKaj yes ionite we know , have you tried chromium yet14:00
avihaywell, it could be a plugin that's slowing it down, I guess14:00
BluesKajFF plugins slow you down ? how can that be ? :)14:01
ioniteBluesKaj: installing now.14:02
ioniteBluesKaj: i've got no FF plugins @ all.14:02
ioniteshould i upgrade to KDE 4.7? what would happen to software compatibility?14:03
BluesKajavihay, I meant chromium-browser14:03
ioniteif i were to upgrade to 4.7 would my current settings and files be disturbed? WINE HQ? any programs would suffer?14:04
BluesKajionite, no idea about wine ...maybe others do14:05
avihaywell, my kmixer settings got crazy after the upgrade, but the performance gain from upgrading was well worth it.14:06
BluesKajjust fix them in alsamixer , kmix is just a gui for it14:06
avihaywell, actually, except from the master channel changing, the other issue was the vol up/down shortcut not working and that was cause some other program hijacked them and it took me a while to figure it out14:08
ioniteBluesKaj: i'm using chrome now. it's lightnining fast14:11
ioniteavihay: i'm using Chrome now. the difference is significant from FF. i guess it really depends on preference and systems?14:14
BluesKajavihay, pulseaudio is default now , but I rid my setup of it as soon as i can ...IMO it's useless for integrated soundcards besides being buggy14:14
=== hacked is now known as vinces
avihayI actually wanted to use my phone/computer as a blutooth headset for my computer/phone, didn't have much luck though, and yes, so far, pulseaudio has been more of a curse then a blessing. I wanted per-ap volume control... but I find myself not really using it14:23

BluesKaj shortcircuit? how do you know ?14:27
ioniteBluesKaj: i saw the entire net book power adapter unplug my accident before my eyes.14:27
ioniteBluesKaj: *accident14:27
avihayionite: chrome is fast, I agree. as I believe in browser separation as a security measure, I use it too, but it has alot of shortcomings that prevents me from using it for serious browsing14:28
ioniteBluesKaj: now it's stuck a black screen. with only this cursor blinking _14:29
BluesKajthat's not real serious , ionite14:29
avihayerm, I mean using  chromioum*14:29
ioniteBluesKaj: and i can't do anything about it.14:29
BluesKaj avihay like ?14:29
ioniteavihay: what do u mean serious browsing? now i've got a bigger problem. my ubuntu can't boot @ DOS mode14:29
=== hacked is now known as vinces
ioniteBluesKaj: what should i do?14:31
ionitei'm stuck @ a black screen with only a blinking cursor _14:31
BluesKajavihay, theonly thing bothersome about chromium is it's poor integration with kde/gtk fonts ...I use a large monitor and the fonts on the toolbars and bookmarks bar are un configurable14:31
avihaymemory management, multiple tab management, and tab restore, and while there might be plugins to fix the latter two, I believe the first is more then enough not to pick it, though the Miku Hatsune skin is to die for!!! kyaaa, so cute!14:32
ioniteBluesKaj: any idea how i can restore back my KDE from a power failer?14:33
ionite*failure14:33
BluesKajleave the power off for at least 30 secs , the try to boot14:34
ioniteBluesKaj: i'm trying now. what should i do if its still stuck at the blinking cursor _ black screen?14:36
avihayionite: can you get to one of the ttys?14:39
ioniteBluesKaj: i'm still stuck at the blinking cursor _ after 30 seconds14:40
ioniteavihay: what do u mean TTYS?14:40
ioniteKubuntu can14:41
avihayI mean text interface thingy virtual text terminal, whatchamacallit14:41
ioniteavihay: nothing i'm only at the black screen with this single _14:41
ioniteavihay: nothing else after a power failure. frustrating.14:42
Terbaddo_Can anyone help me about Smooth Tasks ?14:42
BluesKajionite, ok reboot , hold down the shift key right after the bios screen appears , to see if you can get to the grub menu .14:42
ioniteBluesKaj: I tried that too but it can't work.14:43
ioniteBluesKaj:  alright i realized now what's wrong. i got my mp3 player USB plugged in and my primary boot was by USB. lolx14:43
BluesKajdoes your laptop have a cdrom drive ?14:44

Terbaddo_teletypewriter14:45

avihaythough I feel a bit sorry that I asked14:46
ioniteavihay: in my country TTYL means Talk To You Later in text messaging shortforms.14:46
ioniteavihay: thanks for ur help. i'm sticking to chrome for now. the only problem with Open source is that u gotta trial and error to find out what's the best for u.14:47

LINKSWORD2Some of you might know about my pre-existing problem with Amarok. Should I wait for an updated version?19:01
LINKSWORD2Or perhaps reinstall my system and see if updating from there yields a stable result?19:01
DarthFrogTry booting from the LiveCD and see if it works there?  If not, re-installing won't do anything.19:04
LINKSWORD2DarthFrog: I don't have a CD burner. My LiveCD is from version 10.04.19:07
James147LINKSWORD2: you can create a liveusb instead19:08
rekcuFniarBfind ~/.kde -iname "*amarok*" -exec rm -rf {} \;19:08
James147LINKSWORD2: also, testing a new user account might also help19:08

James147rekcuFniarB: ^^ rm is not a good idea, mving the configs so that they can be restored is bettter19:09
LINKSWORD2Wow.19:09
James147LINKSWORD2: best thing to do is create a new user and see if it works for them, if it does then its a config problem in you home directory and renaming/deleting the right configs should solve it19:10
LINKSWORD2OK, normally I'm a complete nerd and I'd be in step with you guys on that.19:10
LINKSWORD2But I think this time, you lost me.19:10

LINKSWORD2Hmm.... It looks like it's a config problem.19:52
LINKSWORD2It's hard to tell for sure, however, because I can't access the music from the other account.19:53
LINKSWORD2... I don't mean to sound impatient, but I would figure I'd get some kind of response....20:09
OerHeks'sounds' normal, music from an other account that is not accessible20:10
OerHeksi see no question in you comments, LINKSWORD220:11
LINKSWORD2OK, perhaps I should elaborate.20:12
LINKSWORD2I'm having problems with Amarok crashing when I open an MP3 file from my directory "Music" folder.20:13
LINKSWORD2I've purged, re-installed, cleared files, etc.20:13
LINKSWORD2I've also created a "dummy" account to see if the problem is dependent on user config files.20:14
LINKSWORD2However, I can't determine for sure, because I can't access my music from the dummy account.20:14
LINKSWORD2I'm seriously considering copying my home directory and all sub-folders and files to an external drive, and starting over with a clean install of Kubuntu.20:16
LINKSWORD2Unless I can resolve these config issues. And I suppose that's where I must ask, OerHeks, if you would help me?20:21
OerHeksah, i gave you my solution, last time, to delete the amarok folder, wich was not the solution for you.20:23
OerHeksi have no idea how to fix that.20:23
LINKSWORD2Would you advise copying the home directory to an external and starting with a fresh install?20:25
oldos2erIs everyone asleep?20:36
OerHeksit could solve this amarok issue, i 'm not sure what causes this error. since the delete i didn't have any errors. but if you want to play music from other accounts, i suggest put the music in a shared folder under /var/ ?20:37
