[00:14] <clashingwave> Hello Everyone I'm having a small problem, I'm using Kubunut 11.04 and I installed samba from dolphin, and set the folder so that everyone has full control, but when I try to past a file into it from my other computer it says access denied . Can anyone help me with this please?
[00:19] <SIR_Taco_> clashingwave: ?
[00:20] <clashingwave> SIR_Taco_ Yes still here
[00:20] <SIR_Taco_> ok, and is your user part of the sambashare group?
[00:21] <clashingwave> Yes sir it is
[00:21] <SIR_Taco_> is the directory mounted? ie, you can get a listing?
[00:22] <clashingwave> Yes I can get a listing
[00:22] <SIR_Taco_> and with the same user you can't move/change files in the mount?
[00:23] <clashingwave> No sir, I tried that a few times already
[00:26] <clashingwave> I can see the folder over the network, but I don't seem to have write access
[00:28] <SIR_Taco_> clashingwave: this is a little older, but still relevant... have you tried it? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html
[00:30] <clashingwave> Thanks I'll take a look
[00:43] <AlexZion> hi all...., there is some good GUI to manage iptables in Kubuntu ?
[01:22] <RKyle> What is good text editor that can be used from the terminal, I tried using 'kate file" but it didn't work.
[01:23] <KimLaroux> RKyle, I like vim
[01:24] <KimLaroux> but you might want to read a short tutorial before you begin, as the controls are weird at first
[01:24] <KimLaroux> but once you know them, it's quite easy to use
[01:26] <ArchangelSe7en> nano is simpler I think
[01:27] <KimLaroux> never tried
[01:27] <RKyle> I want an outside text editor or how do you select all via nano.
[01:31] <RKyle> Like regular Ubuntu has gedit.
[01:31] <KimLaroux> I just tried using kate from the terminal and it seems to work
[01:32] <ArchangelSe7en> gedit has a GUI
[01:32] <ArchangelSe7en> donnow what you're looking for exactly
[01:33] <KimLaroux> RKyle, what do you need to select all for?
[01:35] <RKyle> Kate doesn't work for me.
[01:35] <RKyle> And I need to modify something as root and I need to delete the entire source.
[01:38] <RKyle> Can you select all text via vim?
[01:40] <ArchangelSe7en> kate doesnt "work"
[01:40] <ArchangelSe7en> what ya mean ?
[01:45] <RKyle> No protocol specified
[01:46] <KimLaroux> what do you mean by selecting text?
[01:46] <RKyle> I have Kate and I installed gedit and that doesn't work eather.
[01:46] <KimLaroux> you can select text un a terminal, if all you want is copy it
[01:46] <RKyle> Highlighting text to mass delete.
[01:48] <KimLaroux> I'd be surprised if you could do that within a terminal
[01:49] <KimLaroux> maybe you should take a deeper look at why kate doesn't work, or just look for another simple text editor
[01:53] <RKyle> I'm new to Kubuntu so I didn't know if Kate would work in the first place.
[01:53] <RKyle> But yeah I'll look into it.
[01:57] <ArchangelSe7en> off I go
[02:14] <ssfdre38> hey do you know why microsoft livecam vx100 doesnt want to work on Skype but on cheese it does
[02:27] <valorie> Kate is awesome!
[03:01] <Blackpaw> Test
[03:38] <parrot> Hola alquien de Colombia?
[03:44] <valorie> !es | parrot
[05:25] <Shirakawasuna> I'm getting this error trying to run legends: "could not find a compatible opengl display resolution". I'm using the nvidia binary. Any ideas?
[05:26] <Shirakawasuna> it makes me wonder if I need some extra libraries or something
[05:28] <valorie> Shirakawasuna: run jockey-kde
[05:28] <valorie> !jockey
[05:28] <valorie> hmmm
[05:28] <Shirakawasuna> yes sir
[05:29] <Shirakawasuna> huh, weird
[05:29] <Shirakawasuna> "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[05:29] <Shirakawasuna> yet lsmod | grep nvidia shows the blob
[05:30] <Shirakawasuna> claims to be activated but not in use?
[05:33] <Shirakawasuna> maybe this 'jockey' app is broken?
[05:38] <valorie> that's strange
[05:38] <valorie> I've not heard about any problems
[05:38] <valorie> you should be able to reach the same choices in systemsettings
[05:40] <valorie> !drivers
[05:40] <valorie> ubottu seems to be brainless tonight
[05:40] <valorie> agreed
[05:41] <Unit193> ubottu: drivers
[05:41] <Unit193> !binarydriver
[05:44] <Shirakawasuna> hmm
[05:44] <valorie> he didn't know !jockey either
[05:45] <valorie> perhaps db fail
[05:45] <Unit193> Na, just not factoids in the db
[05:45] <valorie> hmmm
[05:49] <Arv3n> hello.
[05:49] <kyubutsu> !gender
[05:49] <Arv3n> Is it worth it upgrading to 4.7? Is it better to just stay with the default in 11.04?
[05:50] <valorie> I like 4.7 a lot
[05:50] <Arv3n> Is it faster?
[05:50] <Arv3n> The only thing I see that I may like is the revised Dolphin interface.
[05:51] <valorie> not that I notice
[05:51] <Arv3n> I'm also worried about getting security updates with the backport ppa.
[05:51] <valorie> my headphone jack works again
[05:51] <Arv3n> and any other issues. i want very little hassle.
[05:51] <valorie> the kub. devels do excellent packaging
[05:51] <Arv3n> Now, that said, I am a pretty experienced user so a little messing around is ok but I don't want to spend hours fixing stuff.
[05:52] <valorie> I've spent zero minutes fixing stuff
[05:52] <Arv3n> OK.
[05:52] <Arv3n> So, do I still get security updates?
[05:52] <valorie> although my netbook (32 bit Atom) has a plasma problem
[05:52] <valorie> but maybe the latest updates fix that too
[05:52] <valorie> yes
[05:52] <Arv3n> ok
[05:52] <Arv3n> so you think i should just do it?
[05:53] <valorie> you aren't deleting repositories, you are merely adding one
[05:53] <Arv3n> I mean if it's mostly trouble-free, and I still get security updates. I don't see why not
[05:53] <Arv3n> I mean, are there any downsides?
[05:53] <valorie> I've heard of very few problems
[05:53] <valorie> and those mostly seemed to be self-inflicted
[05:54] <valorie> that said, it is a lot of updates, so I'd be sure to be on a good network connection
[05:54] <Arv3n> i am.
[05:54] <Arv3n> i pay too much for my damn internet connection.
[05:54] <valorie> that's the usual problem
[05:54] <valorie> disconnect during the process
[05:55] <Arv3n> guess ill go ahead and do it then. thanks
[06:02] <Shirakawasuna> more info? I tried reinstalling nvidia-common and nvidia-current and got this: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf because link group gl_conf is broken
[06:02] <valorie> !nvidia
[06:02] <valorie> def. sounds like something is broken......
[06:04] <Shirakawasuna> interesting
[06:05] <Shirakawasuna> that file, /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf has a modified date of 2011-04-20
[06:05] <Shirakawasuna> which is well before I installed, so it's from the insallation disc
[06:05] <Shirakawasuna> I'm going to remove nvidia and reboot... then reinstall it
[06:05] <Shirakawasuna> brb
[06:12] <Shirakawasuna> no luck. It did properly reinstall this time, with no error message, and actually prompted the recreation of the initrd
[06:13] <Shirakawasuna> but still says the proprietary driver isn't active, despite nvidia being loaded and opengl stuff (mostly) working
[06:14] <valorie> well, I think you need developer help, and if none have spoken up here, I guess the thing to do is post to either the forum or the list
[06:15] <valorie> depending on what you prefer
[06:15] <e_t_> Shirakawasuna: did you use nvidia-xconfig ?
[06:15] <Shirakawasuna> e_t_: no
[06:15] <Shirakawasuna> though I do have a xorg.conf (minimal) to enable changing screen brightness
[06:15] <e_t_> Shirakawasuna: You need to do that. It will create an Xorg.conf file which instructs the computer to actually use the proprietary driver.
[06:16] <Shirakawasuna> strange. nvidia seems to be very much in use, but I'll give it a shot
[06:17] <e_t_> The semi-catch is that X cannot be running when you run nvidia-xconfig. In the past, I've rebooted, selected recovery mode from GRUB, and run nvidia-xconfig from the root prompt.
[06:18] <Shirakawasuna> no worries, I know very well how to kill X ;)
[06:18] <Shirakawasuna> though I just ran nvidia-xconfig and it did generate a crappy-looking xorg.conf
[06:18] <Shirakawasuna> brb to see if it fails less when X isn't running
[06:19] <e_t_> Maybe they've changed it. It's been a while since I've had an nvidia card. Back then, it would just exit if X was running.
[06:23] <Shirakawasuna> nope, still claims that the proprietary driver isn't in use (but really it is...)
[06:29] <e_t_> Did you reboot or just start X again?
[06:32] <Shirakawasuna> just started X again
[06:32] <Shirakawasuna> my new guess is to let the silly 'additional drives' dialog do its 'remove' option, then I'll install, then restart
[06:34] <Shirakawasuna> rebooting
[06:36] <Shirakawasuna> lol, nope
[06:36] <Shirakawasuna> still claims they're not in use
[06:38] <e_t_> Do you have 3D effects and/or transparency?
[06:38] <Shirakawasuna> yup
[06:38] <Shirakawasuna> everything seems fine, I was just trying to figure out why some games were failing
[06:39] <e_t_> Then don't worry what Jockey says. Jockey isn't all that smart.
[06:39] <Shirakawasuna> I suspect it's the games themselves and some incompatibility with nvidia
[06:39] <Shirakawasuna> (legends and antyetitmoves... for andyetitmoves, it's a known issue)
[06:39] <e_t_> Do you get any sort of error message from the games?
[06:39] <Shirakawasuna> yup
[06:40] <e_t_> Are these Win games in Wine?
[06:40] <Shirakawasuna> "Could not find a compatible OpenGL display resolution. Please check your driver configuration. (Error: Couldn't find matching GLX visual)
[06:40] <Shirakawasuna> no, these are native linux games
[06:42] <e_t_> Do these games have configuration files? If the error is talking about resolution, you may try manually specifying the correct resolution.
[06:44] <Shirakawasuna> trying to find one that's parseable
[06:44] <Shirakawasuna> there doesn't seem to even be a man page ;
[06:44] <Shirakawasuna> ;)
[06:44] <Shirakawasuna> nor a 'windowed mode' command
[06:45] <e_t_> is there a --help ?
[06:47] <Shirakawasuna> nope
[06:47] <Shirakawasuna> I think this game doesn't want me to play it :)
[06:48] <well_laid_lawn> it might need the sgl libraries like (I think it was) cube
[06:50] <Shirakawasuna> I'm not finding much on sgl
[06:51] <e_t_> Do you mean SDL ?
[06:51] <Shirakawasuna> I think it does involve sdl at some point
[06:52] <Shirakawasuna> I have the packages it supposedly required, though: sdl, sdl-mixer, and sdl-image
[06:55] <e_t_> Are you building from source?
[06:55] <Shirakawasuna> no, I'm using 'playdeb'
[06:56] <Shirakawasuna> I'll see if their 'scripted installer' works, rather than the deb
[07:07] <p896gbm> hey guys, very simple question: how do i change my mouse sensitivity?
[07:07] <p896gbm> the input device panel in system settings only lets me change acceleration, not sensitivity
[07:15] <Guest43314> humans?
[07:15] <jussi> no, we are bots.
[07:15] <jussi> :P
[07:15] <Guest43314> Deutschland?
[07:15] <jussi> !de
[07:21] <Shirakawasuna> I think installed gsynaptics, p896gbm, got it set how I wanted, then uninstalled gsynaptics
[07:23] <p896gbm> Shirakawasuna: is gsynaptics supposed to provide something other than gpointing-device-settings?
[07:23] <p896gbm> that utility doesn't allow configuring sensitivity for me
[07:24] <p896gbm> it just offers options for middle button emulation and wheel emulation
[07:24] <Guest43314> Can KDE support three screens?
[07:24] <keithzg> It's not a matter of sensitivity, actually, that's part of the problem in looking for such a solution
[07:24] <p896gbm> what do you mean keithzg?
[07:25] <keithzg> Well p896gbm, I mean that it's a matter of resolution; not a terribly important distinction in normal life, but important for finding the right things to modify/override :)
[07:25] <p896gbm> ok
[07:25] <keithzg> See for example http://www.kde-forum.org/artikel/17446/mouse-speed-sensivity.html
[07:25] <e_t_> Guest43314: Can your video card support three screens?
[07:25] <p896gbm> how do i change my mouse resolution?
[07:26] <Guest43314> It has HDMI input and VGA
[07:27] <Shirakawasuna> well, there's a bunch of crap that can be tweaked with synclient, p896gbm. gsynaptics should give you many of those options...
[07:28] <e_t_> Guest43314: That's two. Where would you plug in this third screen?
[07:28] <Guest43314> Good point.
[07:28] <keithzg> the link I posted has one example, http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=90208 has another approach (tailored to slowing down though, not sure if that's what you're looking for p896gbm)
[07:29] <Guest43314> Anyone have any good wisdom or stories to share?
[07:29] <p896gbm> Shirakawasuna: gsynaptics doesn't seem to be a program. i installed the gsynaptics package but there's no gsynaptics binary to run
[07:29] <p896gbm> there's also no man page for it
[07:29] <keithzg> Isn't synaptics exclusively for touchpads?
[07:29] <p896gbm> according to apt-cache, it's just a link to gpointing-device-settings
[07:30] <p896gbm> and that program doesn't allow configuring sensitivity/resolution
[07:30] <p896gbm> yeah it's probably for touchpads, since it talks about wheel and middle button emulation
[07:30] <keithzg> do neither of my links work for ya?
[07:30] <Shirakawasuna> ah
[07:30] <Shirakawasuna> it's a transitional package
[07:30] <Shirakawasuna> I wonder what I used...
[07:31] <Shirakawasuna> maybe it was just gpointing-device-settings
[07:31] <keithzg> I know they're not the easy way around, heh, but both KDE forums links are to discussions with solutions for changing the speed of mice other than through acceleration.
[07:31] <Guest43314> How do I modify the source code of the KDE?
[07:32] <Guest43314> I want to redesign and simplify some aspects of the calendar program.
[07:32] <e_t_> Guest43314: http://community.kde.org/Getinvolved/development
[07:33] <p896gbm> keithzg: the first link doesn't work, setx only allows configuring acceleration and threshold
[07:33] <p896gbm> the rest of the workarounds in both links involve editing xorg.conf
[07:33] <Guest43314> e_t_ what knowledge would I need?
[07:33] <Guest43314> I know nothing of coding
[07:33] <p896gbm> not sure how i can tweak it to where i like if i have to restart x each time...
[07:33] <Guest43314> print "hello world"
[07:33] <Guest43314> ?
[07:34] <keithzg> p896gbm just start a second X session, restart THAT one when you're tweaking. Is it speeding up or slowing down that you're trying to do? Because setting a 0 threshold and high acceleration would do it.
[07:34] <keithzg> For speeding up, that is.
[07:35] <Shirakawasuna> p896gbm: if you want some direct and specific tweaking, try out synclient
[07:35] <Shirakawasuna> p896gbm: keep in mind that I'm pretty sure your settings there will be temporary - you'll need to write them to a xorg.conf, a script, or find another tool to set them once you find what parameter you want to change
[07:36] <Shirakawasuna> just typing 'synclient' will give you a lot of options
[07:36] <keithzg> Wait, I'm confused, is it a mouse or a touchpad we're talking about?
[07:36] <e_t_> Guest43314: C and C++ for a start. Then Qt APIs and a bunch of other stuff. KDE is a HUGE code base. If you want to get started, try joining #kde-devel
[07:36] <Shirakawasuna> I thought it was a touchpad
[07:36] <Shirakawasuna> is it just a mouse?
[07:37] <keithzg> heh I thought it was a mouse, I guess that's an important question to answer now haha
[07:37] <Shirakawasuna> hmm, yeah it's probably a mouse
[07:37] <Guest43314> How do you write secure code?  How do we know the system is not compromised upon the altar of "naahtsekh?"
[07:37] <Shirakawasuna> I have no idea how to configure those, I just change acceleration and min/max speed and I'm happy
[07:38] <Guest43314> Does SE linux have back doors?
[07:38] <keithzg> Is obvious troll obvious?
[07:38] <p896gbm> keithzg Shirakawasuna: it's just a mouse, logitech g5
[07:39] <e_t_> Guest43314: SE Linux was written by the NSA for their own use. I'm guessing it does not have security holes, or they're patched quickly.
[07:39] <Guest43314> I want to know how to apply this technology to solving real world problems, like food and energy security
[07:39] <Guest43314> I want to make gardening robots
[07:39] <keithzg> Wait . . . the G5? Doesn't that have the onboard buttons for changing resolution? haha
[07:40] <keithzg> I know the MX518 does, that's what I have and it was the direct predecessor.
[07:40] <keithzg> Maybe that's why it's never even occurred to me.
[07:41] <Shirakawasuna> I guess I don't know what the question is, if it can't be solved with acceleration + min/max speed
[07:41] <keithzg> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logitech_G5#Features_2 "Tracking Resolution: 400-2000 dpi (user selectable with up to 5 presets actively available using the + and - buttons on the top of the mouse)"
[07:41] <Shirakawasuna> are you experiencing jumpiness?
[07:42] <e_t_> Guest43314: Moving from "I know nothing of coding" to "I want to make gardening robots" is a long journey. I suggest an introduction to programming course at your local community/junior college. P.S. This may be a conversation better moved to #kubuntu-offtopic since it is not about support.
[07:42] <Guest43314> Thank you for your time.
[07:42] <keithzg> p896gbm you don't even have to bother with changing the speed, ie. resolution, at the level of KDE, much less xorg.conf or whatnot, your mouse has buttons for it :)
[07:43]  * keithzg feels an unjustified sense of accomplishment
[07:45] <Shirakawasuna> keithzg: you are a god among men
[07:49] <p896gbm> keithzg: the buttons only allow 3 levels, far too coarse
[07:49] <p896gbm> i want it somewhere between the max and middle
[07:49] <p896gbm> the high sensitivity is double the default
[07:54] <keithzg> Well then, that's a good start, at least with the older firmware the G5 was 2000, 800 and 400. You at least know the general resolution to aim for then.
[07:58] <keithzg> Have you tried lomoco? (commandline program for controlling Logitech mice)
[10:45] <venkata> hi everybody...
[10:45] <venkata> i have a problem regarding wine...
[10:46] <venkata> when i click a exe to install.. wine is running and install screen for the prog is popping up but a alert box coming and saying ...
[10:48] <venkata> can't access a temp file in "c:\users\username\Temp\file" cant be opened .. plz check that your disk is not full and that you have access to the destination directory
[10:48] <venkata> i can see the specified file is there in Temp folder of wine c: drive
[10:48] <venkata> any ideas plz
[10:54] <well_laid_lawn> check #winehq
[10:54] <well_laid_lawn> !wine
[10:57] <venkata> thanks
[12:16] <elitrou> hi guys. i have a question regarding mobile braodband modem settings. Can anyone help?
[12:17] <James147> !ask | elitrou
[12:18] <elitrou> my usb boradband modem only works when mapped on ttyusb0, not other ports like ttyusb2. can i force it to be mapped on the right port always?
[12:19] <BluesKaj> Hey  all
[13:08] <EvilRoey> hi
[13:09] <EvilRoey> how do I find out which bugs a PPA package addresses?  I'm wondering what's new in the recent KDE 4.7 PPA builds..
[13:10] <alvin> Just look at what's new in KDE 4.7: http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.7/
[13:10] <BluesKaj> EvilRoey, check the ppa package reference in launchpad
[13:13] <EvilRoey> BluesKaj:  I guess there is always "zless /usr/share/doc/kde-window-manager/changelog.Debian.gz"
[13:13] <EvilRoey> BluesKaj:  ok.. was just trying to find it, that's all.
[13:13] <EvilRoey> alvin:  thanks
[13:15] <ironfroggy> can anyone tell me what would cause my connected headset to become very low? i used to hear fine, but now at 100% i can hardly hear anything.
[13:15] <EvilRoey> hello ironfroggy
[13:15] <EvilRoey> ironfroggy:  you're on another common channel yet again, cool
[13:15] <ironfroggy> it was fine, and then i went to adjust the volume and as soon as i touched the control it cut in half, and now i cant get it back to a normal volume.
[13:16] <ironfroggy> EvilRoey: i am the ever-presence of freenode, yes.
[13:16] <EvilRoey> :-)
[13:17] <EvilRoey> ah yes from #ironpython and others
[13:17] <EvilRoey> er, #python
[13:17] <ironfroggy> any idea bout my volume trouble?
[13:19] <BluesKaj> volume ctrls can get coated with carbon and need to be reefed back and forth to clean them sometimes .
[13:19] <ironfroggy> what
[13:19] <BluesKaj> vol ctrl contacts get coated
[13:20] <ironfroggy> no, this is a software issue.
[13:20] <ironfroggy> because i am not using hardware volume controls.
[13:20] <ironfroggy> hence asking here.
[13:20] <BluesKaj> are you sure
[13:21] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, ok . check alsamixer
[13:21] <ironfroggy> its at 100%
[13:22] <ironfroggy> using pulse and all the related levels are at 100% so i can hear at all.
[13:22] <programming> Fresh kubuntu install, all packages up to date
[13:22] <programming> running gimp = segmentation fault
[13:22] <ironfroggy> programming: sadly a known problem!
[13:23] <programming> :/
[13:23] <ironfroggy> go to settings and change gtk appearance from oxygen to raleigh (or the other way around)
[13:23] <ironfroggy> then it should work
[13:24] <programming> ironfroggy: awesome, thanks a million
[13:24] <robbiesan> Hello, everyone, good afternoon, morning or evening
[13:25] <BluesKaj> make sure alsamixer is at 100% as well, pulseaudio just rides on top , so it depends on the alsmixer ctrls . ironfroggy
[13:25] <ironfroggy> i have checked.
[13:26] <robbiesan> I'm using KDE 4 on a 64 acer, it is working fine, but locale won't change to dutch,
[13:26] <BluesKaj> well, i dropped pulseaudio and a lot of my audio problems disappeared
[13:27] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: multiple sound devices. need pulseaudio to switch them properly. thanks anyway.
[13:27] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, yeah, skype , mumble etc need the pa packages ...shameful
[13:28] <programming> what is the problem with your sound ironfroggy

[13:44] <iEatChildren> err...maximize panel...not maximize width
[13:45] <EvilRoey> iEatChildren:  omg what a great nickname
[13:45] <EvilRoey> awesome

[16:13] <trions> Kubuntu 11.04. When I connect HDMI out to the TV. The sound output still comes from my tablet. How can I make the sound output appear on TV. In windows it automatically outputs  the sound to TV as soon as I connect the cable.
[16:14] <Terbaddo> Install pavucontrol
[16:14] <Terbaddo> @ trions
[16:15] <Terbaddo> Or, with KMix, Settings > Select Master Channel > ... HDMI ...
[16:17] <trions> Terbaddo: For some reason neither pvucontrol  nor Kmix list the HDMI output device.
[16:18] <hazamonzo> hey folks. dbus-daemon keeps eating 25% cpu (one core) what could be happening here? kubuntu 11.04 x64
[16:18] <trions> Even alsamixer shows on only one device, that is HDA Intel
[17:10] <neo69> hi
[17:11] <neo69> when I start my kubuntu I get a back desktop, to start a app I have to hit alt-F2. How can I fix this?
[17:12] <neo69> black*
[17:13] <jmichaelx> if you have a black desktop, how can you use alt+f2?
[17:15] <neo69> jmichaelx: if I hit alt-f2 it shows the window to insert a command
[17:16] <jmichaelx> neo69: but everything else is black?
[17:16] <neo69> jmichaelx: yes
[17:17] <neo69> jmichaelx: I can start apps using a terminal
[17:17] <neo69> but have no desktop image, bars ...
[17:18] <jmichaelx> neo69: that is very strange
[17:18] <jmichaelx> neo69: do you have kubuntu-desktop installed?
[17:18] <neo69> let me check
[17:20] <neo69> jmichaelx: yes
[17:20] <jmichaelx> neo69: what kind of graphics card are you using?
[17:23] <neo69> jmichaelx: how can I know that?
[17:23] <neo69> its a laptop
[17:23] <neo69> aspire 5720
[17:24] <neo69> isn't there some way to make kde start with the defaults?
[17:25] <James147> neo69: alt+f2 and launch plasma-desktop
[17:25] <James147> ^^ if nothing happens open konsole and try running it there
[17:25] <jmichaelx> James147: ty.... i guess it only makes sense that X is running, if he's able to start apps
[17:26]  * jmichaelx feels embarrassed
[17:28] <neo69> on terminal I got some lines
[17:28] <neo69> and some errors
[17:28] <neo69> "Object::disconnect: No such slot QObject::dataUpdated(QString,Plasma::DataEngine::Data)
[17:28] <James147> !pastebin
[17:30] <neo69> http://paste.ubuntu.com/673259/
[17:33] <James147> neo69: hmm... try running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[17:33] <James147> (update package list, upgrade your systems package to teh latest version, fix broken packages and install kubuntu-deksotp is it isnt already)
[17:39] <neo69> James147: going to reboot
[17:42] <neo69> hi
[17:42] <neo69> James147: no luck
[17:42] <neo69> still black :(
[17:42] <James147> neo69: could you create a new user and see if it works for them :S
[17:43] <neo69> James147: ok, be right back
[17:47] <neo69> James147: I already had another user, started with it and it worked ok
[17:48] <jmichaelx> neo69: any idea as to what could have caused the problem?
[17:48] <neo69> jmichaelx: no
[17:48] <James147> neo69: mv ~/.kde/share/config/plasm* ~    << that will move the plasma config files to your desktop and let plasma recreate them... should fix your problem and reset plasma to its default settings
[17:50] <neo69> going to reboot
[17:50] <James147> if that works you can reconfigre plasma, or try to fix the configs manually...
[17:50] <James147> :p
[17:53] <neo69> James147: it's working now
[17:53] <neo69> James147, jmichaelx: thank you very much
[17:56] <jmichaelx> neo69: all the thanks go to James147, but you are still welcome :-)
[17:56] <neo69> :-)
[17:59] <neo69> James147: you said "mv ~/.kde..." not "cp ~/.kde", right?
[18:00] <James147> yeah... cp wouldnt do anything as the configs would still be in place
[18:00] <James147> neo69: need to move or delete them to cause plasma to reset its self
[18:01] <neo69> James147: oh, ok
[18:01] <James147> ^^ and if alls working as expected you can delete (or move somewhere else) the configs that are now in your home dir :)
[18:01] <neo69> James147: thaks again
[18:01] <James147> (if you dont plan on recovering any of the settings from them that is)
[18:02] <neo69> didn't make many changes
[18:02] <neo69> going to just delete them
[18:03] <James147> neo69: fair enough :) though in general its best to keep configs for a few days incase you remember somehitng you forgot ...
[18:05] <neo69> James147: yes, you are right :-)
[18:29] <marvin273> kurze frage noch zu dd, er kopiert ja bit für bit, kopiert er auch den bereich der nicht in der paritionstabelle vergeben ist, also praktisch den leeren bereich oder nur die daten die wirklich geschrieben wurden?sonst muss ich schauen wo ich 700GB speicher herbekommen:P

[18:36] <LINKSWORD2> Hello, everybody.
[18:48] <genii-around> Hello LINKSWORD2
[18:49] <LINKSWORD2> Oh, nice. :)
[18:49] <LINKSWORD2> Well, I've now gotta restart my system.
[18:49] <LINKSWORD2> If you'll excuse me. :P
[19:00] <markit> I need flashblock component in natty, I've universe repo active, but can't find... any clue? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/amd64/xul-ext-flashblock/1.5.13-1build1
[19:00] <trions> What is the command of "System Settings" program? I need to open it as sudo. "kdesu system-settings" does not work.
[19:00] <markit> aptitude search flashblock return nothing
[19:01] <Pici> markit: Isn't that a firefox extension?
[19:01] <markit> yes, I need to install system wide
[19:02] <markit> and that package does exactly what I want
[19:02] <markit> but can't find it :)
[19:03] <genii-around> markit: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=flashblock seems to indicate it got dropped after 10.10
[19:04] <markit> genii-around: damn, you are right, but googling with flashblock and "natty" I got the page I linked above
[19:04] <genii-around> markit: If you feel adventurous you could manually download the 10.10 deb file and install it
[19:04] <markit> and there seems is available...
[19:04] <markit> genii-around: well, I would prefer download the extension and install where is available system wide, but I've no idea
[19:04] <markit> and also a place where I disabled cache of firefox globally does not work anymore with FF >= 5
[19:05] <markit> (I've squid for central access, so no need of local cache for every account)
[19:05] <markit> anyone here has ever installed an add-on globally for FF 5 in natty? :)
[19:06] <markit> btw, soon I hope I will need a html5 video block :)
[19:07] <genii-around> markit: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable PPA looks possibly good
[19:08] <markit> mmm interesting, but this way I will also have latest FF... could be a good idea indeed
[19:11] <markit> genii-around: do you think that italian lang pack "-it" is available for natty? seems not reading that list
[19:13] <genii-around> markit: The -it  language pack is there, it's on the third page of listings https://launchpad.net/%7Emozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable/+index?batch=75&memo=150&start=150
[19:14] <markit> genii-around: yes, thanks, but as far as I understand, is for 10.04 or 10.10
[19:15] <genii-around> markit: The change dates on the files indicate June 2011
[19:17] <markit> genii-around: forgive me, but I've # add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable, aptitude update
[19:17] <markit> then aptitude search flash but can't find flashblock
[19:20] <genii-around> markit: Darn, yes. I see now by filtering there using Natty it has only webfav package :( Apologies
[19:21] <genii-around> markit: It might still be worth a try to download the 10.10 .deb file from packages.ubuntu.com and see if dpkg -i packagename      on it groans or not
[19:21] <markit> genii-around: don't worry, thanks for your help anyway
[19:22] <markit> I'm a bit scared having an "obsolete" package installed, is a ltsp server
[19:22] <markit> and probably the 10.10 version is not for ff 6 that I have in natty
[19:22] <markit> or in any case I forecast some troubles :)
[19:22] <markit> wondering the reason has been removed
[19:23] <markit> because maybe I can find the way to install the addon system wide, but will not be automatically updated
[19:23] <markit> while with the package it was
[19:49] <erikas> sweiki
[20:28] <mauri> in which file are stored all the services that start at the kde boot?
[23:03] <pawleeq> hello
[23:05] <pawleeq> I am using kubuntu 11.04 and I have problem with network management, in KDE everything works ok, but when I login into another desktop enviroment (Fluxbox, Gnome3) the network does not work. What to do?
[23:06] <avihay> pawleeq: can you run ifconfig from KDE and from another DE and pastebin the output?
[23:07] <pawleeq> avihay: mmt
[23:08] <avihay> should take you 5-15 min
[23:09] <pawleeq> avihay: here you are: http://pastebin.com/cDv0Xyzx
[23:11] <avihay> ok, what I see is that your wired connection tryes to find an IP but doesn't succeed, and that your wireless does succeed, that's from when it works, I guess
[23:12] <avihay> is the wired connection supposed to get an avahi address even though it's disconnected?
[23:13] <pawleeq> avihay: I dunno, I did not change any defaults
[23:14] <avihay> what about the output from when in another DE?
[23:15] <pawleeq> avihay: ok, that will take a bit longer, wait pls :)
[23:16] <avihay> welcome back
[23:18] <pawleeq> avihay: :) here is ifconfig from fluxbox :http://pastebin.com/F6Em2Ubf
[23:19] <avihay> ok, the fluxbox output shows you didn't recive an ip address
[23:20] <avihay> I'm guessing fluxbox has a network manager of some sort? if not, you either need to connect manually (every time (you can write s script or something)) or install a network manager that will work under fluxbox
[23:21] <pawleeq> well, before I upgraded to kde4.7 it fluxobx was working with knetworkmanager
[23:21] <James147> pawleeq: knetworkmanger us deperacated... kubuntu should now use the network manager widget instead
[23:21] <avihay> was*
[23:22] <James147> pawleeq: try the gnome network manager applet (nm-applet) in network-manager-gnome package if i remember correctly
[23:22] <avihay> or wicd
[23:22] <James147> avihay: that would break the kde network maanger widget
[23:22] <avihay> I'm guessing gnome's got nicer over time
[23:23] <pawleeq> I already tried wicd and happenned exactly what James said
[23:23] <avihay> oh
[23:23] <pawleeq> when I launched nm-applet in gnome3, the problem was still the same
[23:24] <BluesKaj> or , sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[23:24] <avihay> from the logs, I think it's a wireless connection
[23:24] <avihay> err output
[23:25] <avihay> compare lines 24
[23:26] <BluesKaj> ok sorry . sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[23:26] <James147> pawleeq: you may want to ask on #ubuntu about why nm-applet no longer works
[23:26] <James147> BluesKaj: what will jsut brin the interface up... it wont connec tor anything else
[23:26] <pawleeq> ok, I will gie it a try
[23:27] <pawleeq> thanks and good night :)
[23:27] <James147> (and the interface is already up if ifconfig lists iit_
[23:27] <BluesKaj> then sudo dhclient wlan0
[23:27] <James147> BluesKaj: how are you ment to get a ipv4 address without associating with the ap?
[23:28] <BluesKaj> it tells the app to cvonnect nm , since nm isn't activated
[23:28] <James147> ?? that dosnt make any sence
[23:29] <BluesKaj> nm is an awful app,
[23:29] <James147> dhclient just sends a dhcp request  to try and get an ip adress
[23:29] <James147> dosnt make nm do anything
[23:31] <BluesKaj> yeah, I got nm to work ,with those commands , but I no longer use it...wicd for wifi.../etc/network/interfaces for static IP eth0\
[23:31] <James147> BluesKaj: no, you worked around nm to connect to a wired connection...
[23:32] <James147> "ifconfig eth0 && dhclient eth0"  will connect you to the network without networkmanager (assuming there is a dhcp server somewhere on the network)
[23:32] <BluesKaj> well, nm showed that it was connected
[23:32] <James147> BluesKaj: because you where :) nm didnt connect you
