[03:09] how do I install and configure screensavers on kubuntu 11.04 [03:14] I cannot delete a file on my PC [03:14] can anyone help me? [03:16] @ Guest35948 rm -rf file ? [03:16] * rm -f file [03:19] is a movie file, I downloaded that with Jdownloader, I copy that to another folder [03:19] and I want to delete it, but [03:19] it says that doesn't not exist [03:29] Why does smooth tasks crash, when I close an active launcher ? [04:59] Hello, all. [05:27] 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). [05:56] hi 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. [05:58] kuuhmu: Just what it says, the nick is registered by another person [06:00] i 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? [06:01] Check battery? [06:01] Unit193: it isn't the battery... [06:01] this has to do with lirc [06:04] You may have better luck in #lirc (18 nicks in there) === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [06:17] ok, 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. [06:19] sort of ridiculous, but oh well....

[08:38] It's the middle of the night, man. [08:39] During the day, I'd probably get a pretty fast response. [08:39] But at night, the people that are actually still awake probably aren't on top of the world. [08:39] ok kubuntu lovers [08:39] And the rest of them are idle accounts while their owners are asleep. :P [08:39] back here to get some help [08:40] * LINKSWORD2 cracks knuckles.* [08:40] Let's have some fun.... [08:40] krise, whatchya got, mate? [08:40] Here is my problem-when im tryng to install-uninstall programs i get ERROR message-You have failed to provide correct authentication. [08:40] Please check any passwords or account settings. [08:40] LINKSWORD2: did the debug command give a clue ? [08:40] kubuntu 11.04 kde [08:41] linksword2 can u help me? [08:41] krise, attempt to run your install or uninstall through the Konsole terminal. [08:41] krise: it is a permission issue do you have admin rights? [08:41] yes i have [08:41] Then please copy the return text and put it into pastbin [08:41] !pastebin [08:42] 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. [08:42] no im tryng to install via kpackage kit [08:42] you need to check them, like the error said [08:42] *the admin rights [08:42] well_laid_lawn: I'll run the terminal again and get the readout, the same as I told krise to do. [08:42] I'll be back in a minute or two with the results. [08:42] well_laid_lawn in terminal when i runn update command it works [08:43] I was going to suggest that as a test [08:43] :p [08:44] so masterbrains :) how can we fix this problem [08:44] krise: you'll need to check how kde sees your rights then [08:44] well_laid_lawn how can i doo that [08:44] im newbe, ba patient :) [08:45] I don't have a kde box here atm - it'll be in the menu under system settings or something [08:46] normally as users and groups [08:48] well_laid_lawn: Seems that the debug sequence hasn't come up with any conclusive results.... [08:49] However, even after a couple minutes, it's apparently still running command in groups. [08:50] try this for a clue - http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=83663&start=10 [08:51] well_laid_lawn i dont know what to look there ? [08:51] I googled amarok crash and there was a few results.. [08:51] behind root username is a lock [08:51] I'd try another player until it's fixed LINKSWORD2 [08:52] krise: there is no root user in kubuntu [08:52] !root [08:52] 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 [08:54] well_laid_lawn ok i find it, i have admin privileges [08:55] it seems ubottu is inspired by hollywood movies [08:55] lol [08:55] krise: check in kpackagekit then - try an update [08:56] well_laid_lawn same problem with same error message [08:57] when tryng to update in kpackage [08:57] krise: dunno what to say except stick to the commandline [08:57] cant even put my password in [08:57] you can still search in kapckagekit? [08:58] well_laid_lawn yes i can [08:58] so it never even asks for a password? [08:58] nope, soon as i hit aplly it runs something and than gives me error [08:59] it should ask for a password at startup or sometime [08:59] yes it did before [08:59] Sounds like a problem with the KDE Wallet Manager. [09:00] Go into the system control panel and check it. [09:00] after unsucsessful wine installation its messed up [09:00] *Shoots WINE.* [09:01] * well_laid_lawn had wine once [09:01] lol [09:04] lol [09:04] i dont know what to check there [09:05] everywhere is always allow [09:05] I'm signing off. I've gotta hit the pillow. [09:07] how can u sleep well when your brother needs help [09:09] anybody wants google + invite ? [09:10] shit [09:32] is there any brave ones who like to help me out? [09:35] krise: Just ask your question, if someone knows they might help [09:35] ok [09:36] running kubuntu 11.04 [09:37] when im tryng to install-uninstall programs via kpackage it gives me a error [09:37] You have failed to provide correct authentication. [09:37] Please check any passwords or account settings. [09:37] it comes up right before i can put in my password [09:38] update command works in terminal [09:38] does kpackagekit have a group you need to be in or something like that? [09:39] no i dont think so [09:41] Urgh, KPackageKit [09:41] krise: Did you try Muon? [09:41] well_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 group [09:41] Quintasan whats that [09:41] krise: The default package manager in Oneiric [09:42] sudo apt-get install muon [09:42] bigbrovar this problem started this morning, before i had no problems [09:42] Quintasan: 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 policykit [09:42] Well, technically that's right [09:43] But sometimes KPackageKit expresses wildly unpreditctable behavior [09:45] ill try muon [09:46] bigbrovar: it was krise with the permission problem :) [09:46] is 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 before [09:46] yes that was me [09:46] well_laid_lawn: oppss sorry :p [09:46] np :) [09:47] bigbrovar can u give me advice? [09:48] krise: 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 problem [09:48] is muon ok for kde? [09:49] krise: there is a ppa for muon, search for that [09:50] I am on version 1.2 or something and it is good, install also muon-installer for a nice gui [09:50] krise: yep and it would be the default package manager for Kubuntu 11.10 [09:50] same problem with muon [09:51] can not install anyting [09:51] krise: 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] i installed muon via terminal [09:51] one sec [09:52] This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided [09:53] krise: have u tried rebooting? [09:53] dont remember [09:53] ill be back [09:58] sorry guys- restart fixed everything [09:58] thanks for muon do [09:59] but [10:00] how can i get my laptop mousepad right click work? [10:00] HP Probook 4520 [10:00] krise: yep problem some problems with policykit process failing. its funny how many problems can be solved by restart. [10:00] yep [10:01] krise: 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/ [10:02] following 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 clickpad [10:03] goood [10:03] ill try that [10:05] * bigbrovar I actually came here to seek consel on why sometimes kmail2 push email stops working in kdepim 4.7 .. doesn't happen all the time but I have observed that when I experience a break in connection. push email stops working and I would have to manually check my emails does anyone experience this?
