| _deXter_ | Wow, 11.04 sure is buggy as hell | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| SubCool | :( | 00:11 |
| _deXter_ | I'm doing a re-install and the installer crashes | 00:11 |
| _deXter_ | First it picks up the wrong drive - my *external* drive | 00:12 |
| SubCool | haha | 00:12 |
| _deXter_ | thank God I actually read before clicking next next next | 00:12 |
| SubCool | i've noticed i have to detach things even with a bios setup | 00:12 |
| _deXter_ | yeah, I learnt it the hard way; hence the reinsatll | 00:13 |
| _deXter_ | I had a backup drive attached the first time around.. and my internal drive got assigned to sdc | 00:13 |
| SubCool | lol- | 00:13 |
| _deXter_ | and because of that my external wouldn't mount anymore -.- | 00:13 |
| Snowhog | SubCool: In a console type: sudo apt-get install -f | 00:13 |
| Snowhog | sudo dpkg --configure -a | 00:13 |
| Snowhog | sudo apt-get update | 00:13 |
| Snowhog | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:13 |
| Snowhog | SubCool: Repeat until no errors | 00:13 |
| SubCool | cool- thanks.. ill try it | 00:14 |
| SubCool | _deXter_, i ran into that on two of my backup drives, but that was years ago with mandriva | 00:14 |
| _deXter_ | oh? | 00:14 |
| SubCool | i still have to decrypt one of them. lol | 00:15 |
| SubCool | sucks | 00:15 |
| _deXter_ | damn, the installer crashed again | 00:16 |
| _deXter_ | What's up with this stupid thing | 00:16 |
| SubCool | Snowhog, giving it s first go- :) | 00:16 |
| SubCool | needs a breather | 00:16 |
| SubCool | kinda like i shouldj ust not have a working copy of ubuntu on flash drive.. for some reason. | 00:18 |
| _deXter_ | ..and again | 00:20 |
| _deXter_ | "sock_file=/home/ubuntu/.kde/socket-ubuntu/kdeinit4__0" | 00:20 |

| simion314 | hi all | 07:26 |
| simion314 | i got no sound in Amarok | 07:26 |
| simion314 | youtube works so it might be some silly configuratyion i have to do | 07:27 |
| szal | do you have no sound or does it not play at all? | 07:27 |
| simion314 | szal: the progress bar shows thast is playing | 07:29 |
| szal | then open KMix (speaker icon in tray -> Mixer), switch to Playback streams while Amarok is playing & see what device it outputs to (right-click -> Move to change device) | 07:31 |
| simion314 | szal: i made it now to work, i put one of my cards to Off, but i am not sure if this breaked my microphone | 07:31 |
| simion314 | the thing is that in SystemSettings i have listed 2 audio devices, i think one is from my video card, it suports hdmi o but i am not sure, i know i spent a lot of time making my microphone work in skype | 07:32 |
| simion314 | not sure why turning off something helped | 07:32 |
| simion314 | what should i read to u8nderstend what is happening? | 07:33 |
| szal | you should stop ranting, turn that device back on & do as I told you ;) | 07:33 |
| simion314 | szal: i am not ranting,sorry if i seem to, i want to understend what you tell me realy does, so i do not break anything else | 07:34 |
| szal | it'll tell Pulseaudio to route audio from Amarok to the device you set there (same analogously for every other audio stream if you set it; you can also set the volume for each audio stream separately that way) | 07:36 |

| giulia | hello. I have downloaded Thunderbird from Mozilla's site. I wish to put it in the apps menu. But i found no where where to do it. Any idea ? Thank you | 08:41 |
| === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 | ||
| Axlin | giulia: It's easier to install Thunderbird through KPackagekit, which can be found in the app menu by searching. If you prefer the most up-to-date version, you can add the repository by entering "sudo add-apt repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable" without quotes in Konsole. | 08:45 |
| === oguz is now known as ogzy | ||
| giulia | thank you :) | 08:46 |
| giulia | Axlin > but I've just have downloaded my Thunderbird, will it be possible to add it to my apps without adding a deposit package ? | 08:47 |
| giulia | Axlin > At least, I learn something truly new ;) | 08:47 |
| Axlin | It's much easier to just install it through the package manager. Otherwise you have to unpack the .tar.gz archive and run "thunderbird-bin" from it | 08:50 |
| Axlin | You could create a symlink for thunderbird-bin to /usr/bin, and then add it manually to your apps menu. This works fine, but the benefit of using the package manager (apart from ease) is that the package manager keeps it constantly up-to-date | 08:51 |
| giulia | I already ran it, and it was a piece of cake to tell you the truth | 08:51 |
| giulia | but to add the link in the app menu, well, it's truly something else | 08:51 |
| giulia | (nearly worse than making a law change honestly) | 08:52 |
| Axlin | Yeah. I'm actually firing up my laptop right now (which runs Kubuntu) so I can take a look at this myself. | 08:52 |
| giulia | firing up ? What do you mean ? (English is not my mother tongue) | 08:53 |
| Axlin | Oh, sorry. I'm turning it on :-) | 08:53 |
| giulia | ok, a new expression in my vocabulary bag ;) | 08:53 |
| Axlin | Haha yeah, we Americans have some interesting phrases :) | 08:54 |
| giulia | ;) | 08:54 |
| giulia | but still, learning foreign languages has been very useful | 08:54 |
| giulia | especially when you have to fight to make a law change in your own country | 08:55 |
| giulia | :/ | 08:55 |
| === Bucky is now known as whoStoleMeTheFir | ||
| === whoStoleMeTheFir is now known as Bucky | ||
| Axlin | Must be complicated if you have to know a foreign language for it o.o | 08:57 |
| giulia | actually, I speak 4 languages | 09:00 |
| giulia | but as studies in peer-reviewed journals are in English, so yeah, I have to know at least one foreign language | 09:00 |
| giulia | :) | 09:00 |
| giulia | (don't worry, mom was and is sometimes still freaked out about this law change) | 09:01 |
| Axlin | Oh I see. I wish I was skilled enough to speak 4 languages, heh | 09:02 |
| giulia | you can | 09:03 |
| Axlin | Okay, this should do it. If you move the thunderbird folder where you want it (like ~/.thunderbird), then "cd" into that directory in Konsole, then enter: ln -s thunderbird-bin /usr/bin | 09:03 |
| giulia | ok | 09:03 |
| Axlin | Then right-click the Kickoff icon (the apps menu) and choose "edit applications". Then I would select the "Internet" category, or whichever category you prefer Thunderbird to be in | 09:03 |
| Axlin | Then you click the "New Item" button, and name it "Thunderbird". Select the new item, and give it whatever description and comment you want, and for command, enter: thunderbird-bin | 09:04 |
| Axlin | That should do it | 09:04 |
| Axlin | Don't forget to click Save | 09:05 |
| Axlin | Oh, shoot, I'm sorry. You actually want to do this with the "thunderbird" item in the thunderbird folder, not thunderbird-bin. | 09:09 |

| Tm_T | Integral-solver: sure, and documentation helps when needed. I'm bit wondering why you ask about unix here though | 09:36 |
| Torch | Integral-solver: depends on the flavour of unix and the shell used. | 09:42 |

| giulia | hello. i have downloaded an icon theme. I unzipped it, but now, where do I have to put it ? | 14:35 |
| systemclient | where is kde installes? I try to build okular and I need KDE's path | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | systemclient, ~/.kde | 15:01 |
| systemclient | BluesKaj: would I install my manual build of okular into there? | 15:01 |
| Mamarok | BluesKaj: that is not an install patch | 15:01 |
| systemclient | cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/kde4/install/dir .. | 15:01 |
| systemclient | this is the line bothering my | 15:01 |
| systemclient | me | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | Mamarok, ok then tell him what it is instead of correcting me | 15:02 |
| Mamarok | systemclient: if you build packages outside the usual distribution ones you should do that locally | 15:02 |
| Mamarok | jut a minute | 15:02 |
| systemclient | I found "/usr/bin/kde4", is that it? | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | usually the install path is /usr/bin , but not always | 15:04 |
| Mamarok | systemclient: yes, but if you do a system installation there is normally no need to indicate that | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | haven't bothered to figure out why :) | 15:04 |
| systemclient | Mamarok: I want to build the current dev version of okular | 15:04 |
| systemclient | BluesKaj: "which okular" gives me /usr/bin … | 15:04 |
| Mamarok | systemclient: yes, I understood that, but you should not do that in the system with unstable packages, do it locally in your $HOME | 15:05 |
| James147 | systemclient: the path you want is just "/usr" | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | dunno, systemclient , must be a readme in the build folder , chgeck that | 15:05 |
| systemclient | Mamarok: okay, that was my question basically. So I can do /opt or so? | 15:05 |
| genii-around | If you're building custom software versions, the usual system place to put them is in somewhere like /usr/local/bin or so on | 15:05 |
| Mamarok | or that, yes | 15:05 |
| systemclient | genii-around: afaik opt is the safest place for custom stuff | 15:06 |
| Mamarok | genii-around: you still need sudo rights for that, if you build in your home you don't, and its very easy to remove | 15:06 |
| systemclient | Mamarok: I'll just use project/build then | 15:06 |
| James147 | ^^ though you sould put /usr/local (which is the default if you dont spicify _DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) | 15:06 |
| * James147 notes where ever you put it dont spiicify the bin directory, just the directroy bin is in | 15:07 | |
| systemclient | James147: good to know | 15:07 |
| genii-around | I usually make in my home directory somewhere, test, then copy them to the /usr/local hierarchy and chown | 15:09 |
| James147 | systemclient: the general convention is /usr for anything built and packaged, /usr/local for anythign that is just goning to be installed directly (ie without packaging) and somewhere in your home if your just messing around :) | 15:10 |
| systemclient | James147: and the very latter is what I am doing. thanks! | 15:11 |
| yofel | systemclient: also, if you want to find out the install prefix of your running kde install use 'kde4-config --prefix' | 15:12 |
| yofel | but /usr/local would be correct here | 15:12 |
| systemclient | yofel: that command tells me usr, which makes sense | 15:13 |
| James147 | systemclient: just so you know, the seperation between /usr and /usr/local is that things in /usr are managed by a packagemanager and things in /usr/local are managed by the administrator ^^ it makes it easier for the admin to remove things manually installed :) | 15:15 |
| systemclient | James147: I know, that is why it makes sense that my distro put it in /usr and not /usr/local | 15:16 |
| hallman | Anyone know why xorg sucks up 25-100% of my cpu? Seems to be a common problem, yet the many suggested solutions doesn't seem to work for me. | 15:40 |
| hallman | I've also looked through the ubuntu wiki on X troubleshooting, HighCPU in particular.. I find it hard to believe that it's a client application. It's not software rasterizing. I've tried various drivers. Logs seem fine. | 15:42 |

| riff | how do i edit the grub menu file | 18:49 |
| genii-around | riff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Initial%20Default | 18:50 |
| genii-around | riff: To edit the /etc/default/grub as it shows there, use: kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub or else command-line editor like sudo kate /etc/default/grub | 18:51 |
| genii-around | sudo nano rather | 18:51 |
| * genii-around needs more coffee | 18:52 | |
| riff | okay when i went to edit the file the first line is GRUB_DEFAULT=0 | 18:53 |
| riff | i changed the line to GRUB_DEFAULT=4 for the fifth os option but it ddin't seem to do anything am i missing something? | 18:54 |
| genii-around | riff: You need to run sudo update-grub for it to build the new menu with proper settings after that | 19:02 |
| riff | reboot see if this works thanks | 19:04 |

| mellhen | Is this the right place to ask about soundproblems in Kubuntu? | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, ok tell us your issue | 19:43 |
| mellhen | i would like to play a 24bit / 66kHz wav file. | 19:45 |
| mellhen | *68kHz | 19:46 |
| mellhen | *96kHz sry. | 19:46 |
| mellhen | the problem is that it does not use 24bit. | 19:46 |
| mellhen | http://pastebin.com/XsS8iPGf | 19:46 |
| mellhen | the soundcard is a sb live! 24bit. iam using kubunt 11.04 | 19:47 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, which player ? | 19:47 |
| mellhen | mplayer. | 19:47 |
| mellhen | i could try amarok or dragon. but i do not know how to get an output if it is using 16 or 24bit. | 19:48 |
| well_laid_lawn | try aplay in a terminal | 19:49 |
| mellhen | aplay: http://pastebin.com/PT7EvK1i | 19:52 |
| mellhen | themes that my card does not provide s24le. strange | 19:53 |
| mellhen | *themes = seems | 19:54 |
| mellhen | not a native and dyslexic | 19:55 |
| mellhen | well. is there a chance to use 32bit instead of 16bit as output? or better native 24bit. | 19:59 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, sorry , I don't know where to find to find asla settings for codecs ..I just use the pcm/spdif out to an audio receiver digital input.. whatever digital ratres are used from my experience seldom above 96khz , mostly it's 48khz from the readout on my audio receiver | 20:03 |
| mellhen | i have no external dau. | 20:04 |
| mellhen | i sry its DAC in english | 20:05 |
| mellhen | digital analog converter | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | well. unless you are using powered monitor speakers then the bit depth is probly irrelavent above 16bit | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | in terms of sound quality | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | mel | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, http://www.comx-computers.co.za/download/SBLIVE-24.php | 20:09 |
| mellhen | i will use http://www.vincent-tac.de/de/produkte-nach-typ/vollverstaerker/sv-400.html and http://www.chario.it/panoramica.php?IDP=12&IDO=40 in about 4 month ;) | 20:09 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: sry i do not understand, what this links is for? | 20:10 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: its exactly my soundcard. | 20:10 |
| BluesKaj | it says it passes /converts 24 bit. mellhen | 20:13 |
| mellhen | mhh. i made a new test with mplayer. i forced it to use s24le and s32le. see results. http://pastebin.com/gxBDLyPS | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, do you have pulseaudio installed ? | 20:21 |
| HaDAk | i'm not sure how i managed to pull it off, but somehow i have widgets running off screen. they show up in the "running" list... i'd like them back. i don't have any other activities, and i was messing with the screen placement prior. any ideas? | 20:21 |
| BarkingFish | HaDAk, Ỳou have widgets running outside your visible desktop area? | 20:21 |
| HaDAk | it would appear that way. | 20:22 |
| BarkingFish | I've done that before, all I did was increase the screen resolution to allow me to get to the widgets and move them into the area where I work, then drop the screen back to normal size | 20:22 |
| HaDAk | i can't increase the screen past where it's already at >.> | 20:23 |
| BarkingFish | The other option then is to kill off the running widgets | 20:23 |
| HaDAk | is there a way to just...collect the widgets? | 20:23 |
| HaDAk | idk how to kill em off. | 20:23 |
| HaDAk | it's irritating, because my system tray is there. so, apps like pidgin and thunderbird that minimize to the tray are inaccessible | 20:24 |
| BarkingFish | HaDAk, When you say they appear in the "running" list, which list do you mean? | 20:24 |
| HaDAk | if i go to add widgets, choose categories, and click running | 20:24 |
| bbeck | How do I make the kontact conflict resolution dialogs from coming up all the time? | 20:24 |
| bbeck | How do I keep the kontact conflict resolution dialogs from coming up all the time? | 20:25 |
| BarkingFish | HaDAk, The other option would be to decrease the size of the icons on your desktop, I would imagine your widgets will shrink too. | 20:26 |
| BarkingFish | on second thoughts, don't try that, they don't follow. | 20:27 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: sry that i stoped answering you | 20:51 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: yes i have pulseaudio installed. | 20:51 |
| mellhen | someone was writing to me in another irc-channel and i took him for you. | 20:52 |
| BarkingFish | anyone know what the packages for Libreoffice writer's dictionaries are please? I'm looking for a dutch dictionary :) | 20:52 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, pulseaudio might be causing mplayer to crash | 20:52 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: i was talking in the pulseaudio channel. it seems that my sound cards driver is limited to s16le and s32le: | 20:54 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/8Gfb3zWf | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | strange , mellhen , your cards native bit depth is 24 | 20:54 |
| mellhen | this is exactly what i thought.. | 20:55 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: another indication for my thesis is: http://pastebin.com/gxBDLyPS | 20:57 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: i forced mplayer to use a specific format.. s24le does not wirk | 20:57 |
| mellhen | *wirk = wirk | 20:57 |
| mellhen | *wirk = work. i hate my keyboard ;) | 20:57 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, yes I tried 24bit with mplayer, but it played back at 16 bit , altho my card is 24bit capable too :( | 21:00 |
| mellhen | try s32le | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | probly because I don't seem to have any 24bit wav files :) | 21:01 |
| mellhen | maybe a bug of mplayer. bit aplay is not able to play it, too | 21:01 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, I have vlc as my default player for all media , since this pc is our home media server , it has to be easy for wife to use ..no command line stuff for her :) | 21:05 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: is there a way too see, what vlc uses 16, 24 or 32? | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | mellhen, there might be , it has extensive options , I just use the alsa audio output thru option in tools/preferences/audio | 21:08 |
| BluesKaj | with spdif when available | 21:09 |
| mellhen | BluesKaj: found it. What Kubuntu version are you using 10.04= | 21:11 |
| mellhen | ? | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | 11.10 , but it works well even in theis alpha OS | 21:12 |
| riff | having trouble with some packages | 21:13 |
| riff | installed chocolate doom using synaptic package manager but can't find it in the program menus | 21:14 |
| riff | what do i need to look at to see where the problem is? | 21:15 |
| BluesKaj | riff, look in the kmenu apps games | 21:16 |
| riff | it has tactics and stratagy inside that are two penguin games i was playing with | 21:17 |
| BluesKaj | or alt+f2 , type chocolate doom | 21:17 |
| riff | okay it runs but then a few seconds later it closes out | 21:21 |

| medionpal | hi! | 23:29 |
| medionpal | I have one kubuntu box 11.04 where the flasplayer works fine in firefox, another box with the same configuration does not play flash, even though I installed the flasplayer using kpackage! | 23:29 |
| medionpal | what is the problem? | 23:29 |
| AlexZion | 32 bit or 64 !?! just for curiosity .... | 23:31 |
| medionpal | 64 bit | 23:33 |
| medionpal | well. I don't understand why youtube videos don't play even though I have the flash installer installed through the kpackage kit | 23:33 |
| medionpal | I tried installing from the adobe site, but then it says it is an "unknown partner" | 23:34 |
| AlexZion | have you tried to use youtube in html 5 !?! | 23:34 |
| medionpal | html 5 | 23:34 |
| medionpal | I just open firefox | 23:34 |
| AlexZion | I mean , we need to understand first of all , where the problem is .... | 23:34 |
| AlexZion | maybe it could be even a codec problem !?! | 23:35 |
| AlexZion | do you get the problem with any flash content or just watching video ? | 23:35 |
| medionpal | i only tried youtube... | 23:36 |
| medionpal | but it works on another box | 23:36 |
| medionpal | same setup | 23:36 |
| medionpal | have to restart.. brb | 23:38 |
| medionpal | installed the non free adobe flash thing through synaptic, still nothing | 23:41 |
| medionpal | it works now | 23:44 |
| medionpal | I deinstalled the flashplayer through synaptic and then I reinstalled it... and now it works... thanks guys | 23:44 |
