[08:45] James147: i have just installed it and i cannot see any difference in the plasmoid. I started the temp view but it is blank. When choosing properties of temp, i see no items in the list!

[08:59] James147: i used "additional drivers" (my kde is in german, but it should say something like that in english) from the application>system menu [09:00] NSQ: then it should be used after a reboot... try running "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [09:01] James147: i did that too, then nothing works, it hangs up during boot, something like "couldnt load nvidia module" [09:01] James147: so i deleted xorg.conf, and i can boot again now [09:01] it's weird. [09:02] yeah ^^ you tried reinstalling the driver (sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current) [09:03] James147: going to try that, 1sec [09:21] hi there [09:21] anyone here [09:35] when im dragging a window around between 2 monitors and i hit the top edge i get double white lines around both screens and window wants to maximize. If i hit just the left or the right the double white lines want to set the window size to half width. What is this called? and is there any way to adjust the size of the half width white lines? [09:36] as my left monitor is a different width than my right monitor. It would be nice for left/right to be the full width of either monitor. [09:44] James147: okay, i tryed all that for another time, failed .. now i thought i install the nvidia driver from the website, without this thing [09:44] James147: now it tells me, now "kernel-source" is installed, but there is no kernel-source for my kernel, only a nvidia-kernel-source thing [09:45] james1479: and if i click install on this nvidia-kernel-source thing, it wants to install nvidia-current with it (which is not working) .. [09:46] NSQ: hmm, what graphics card do you have? [09:46] James147: nvidia geforce 425m [09:47] this is driving me crazy, it worked in suse, it worked in ubuntu 10.04 ... but not in kubuntu 11.4 [09:48] NSQ: ^^ yeah, I found the mobile cards to sometimes just not work depending on the various versions of things :( [09:48] (that is the mobile nvida ones) [09:48] ^^ there any reason you cant use the open drivers? [09:48] gaming. [09:49] i have really bad fps with the open drivers :P [09:49] James147: and i have a clan war in like 6 hours, so i guess i need to install another distro if i cant fix it in time :( [09:51] i was like "yeah, switch to some debian related distro, because yast is shit", and now i end up with this :/ [09:52] i guess im buying some cd's now and switching to fedora, but thank you for your help James147 <3 [09:52] NSQ: you could try an older version of kubuntu [09:54] James147: is it possible that that bug only occurs in kubuntu? because i know some guys having no trouble installing nvidia drivers in ubuntu (one guy even has a geforce 425m) [09:55] NSQ: possibly... could just be related to the version of the packages in 11.04 [09:56] why do i had to uninstall my fully working suse anyways :D .. bad idea === eyes_ is now known as EyesIsMine === EsZettAal is now known as szal === b08z80-|-Z is now known as bobweaver === szal_ is now known as szal [12:05] hi [12:24] Somone wants a Mac LC? === pan1nx is now known as theseinfeld === theseinfeld is now known as pan1nx === eyes_ is now known as EyesIsMine [12:45] hi - got a problem using kmail with mailinglist [12:46] it sends a message back and it's not in the sent or trash or spam [12:46] any ideas [12:47] updated to the newest kde in the ppa-reposizories [12:49] please help - every mail from the mailinglist is sent back (or anywhere else - don't know) and i can't get any mail from the list [12:57] went on #kontact -channel to discuss this preoblem sorry guys [13:19] Hey all [13:20] hey BluesKaj === vito_ is now known as Guest74051 [13:22] hi OerHeks [13:23] hi BluesKaj [13:23] hi Ddpbf [13:25] coffeee, coffee, coffee!

[13:27] too strong ..don't need to race, just a good pace is fine :) [13:31] found something odd with my audio output ..if I choose stereo tracks option within vlc while it's playing a movie , it outputs an analog signal thru the line out , otherwise line out has no output at all [13:35] my soundcard is set for spdif / coax digital out and analog line out , but there's usually no sound output from the lineout . I've been trying to find a method have both digital and analog out simultaneously , but so far no luck withe exception of the vlc option which isn't available on all media [13:42] what is the difference between LTS 10.4 and 11.04?

The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [13:46] BluesKaj: which is more stable and less buggy? [13:47] ionite, do some research on ubuntu.com about LTS ...I'm sure you'll find what want to know [13:48] BluesKaj: words can only mean one thing but in reality i need actual experience [13:49] words can mean many things , depends on who and what they say :) [13:49] !polls | ionite [13:49] ionite: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:51] BluesKaj: ubuntu wont compare it's product :) [13:58] hi - back again - in #kontact they said - no support for this version :( - well try it again here [14:01] my storry: upgraded to kde4.7 on kubuntu 11.04 - but can't say if the thing i want to decribe here is a bug/feature or something else - nor can i say wheter there's the same problm with the original kde in kubuntu 11.04 - that's because i haven't had a mailinglist subscribed to before [14:01] well [14:03] decribed to a mailinglist and got always the same problem: there's a script in every mail comming dfrom that list - kmail tells me it cannot run this script - but running or stopping it deletes the mail from the server and from the local storage [14:05] is it the mailing list i should not subscribe to? maybe it's also a feature of kmail i could just disable - but don't know how - answering to the mailinglist because of an subscription header? [14:08] well guys - would be great to hear from you - problem makes me sad [14:13] lagerimsi, can you post this script, without confidentional info like pass or mail adres, on paste.ubuntu.com ? [14:14] lagerimsi, sorry, but I gave up on kmail ages ago, due to all the problems I had trying to get to work with my ISP's mail server , so I switched to webmail (gmail) and have had few problems since. [14:15] well - as i said - the mails are gone :( - so i cant post this script - used kmail for ages and always had no problem [14:16] kmail cannot run the script, because it was a mail? [14:18] sounds like a delete-script regarding your subsciption .. [14:19] well yes - but it doesnt make any difference whether i let it run or nor - the mail is gone [14:20] as i subribed to that [14:20] list [14:20] i recieved a message to confirm that subscription - is it a feature then that kmail sends out a message itself? [14:21] guess it shouldnt do anything the user has not enabled or at least - the user can disable somewhere [14:22] it's a mailinglist using mailman [14:23] lagerimsi, hard to say if the script is malicious, or just misunderstood. === michael is now known as Guest11241 [14:27] OerHeks > had the webinterface open - there was shortly one message i hadn't recieved before - now it's gone - without using kmail - so this problem is provider-related i guess - maybe they are filtering this list [14:31] freedom of speech here - *sigh* [14:41] hi there [14:42] hiiiiiiiiiiii [14:42] * Graf_Westerholt ist verwirrt.

[14:44] tnx :) [14:44] Graf_Westerholt: yes, you are :P [14:44] szal :D [14:50] what is the linux programing? can you explain me? it's about understanding OS or anything els? [14:51] :-/ [14:52] define 'linux programming' [14:53] i can't define it exactly but i'm just hear about ! [14:55] mohsen: Programming is usually done in a language of some kind. There are simple programs you can make which are called shell scripts that use what is built-in to linux at the command line. then there are other kinds of programming like with Python or Ruby which can run right away. Then there are programs you write which need to be compiled into something usable, for that the languages are usually C or C++ [14:55] mohsen: You should probably look into shell scripting first. [14:58] tnx.so the shell scripting is a tool for write and compiling the programs in any lang? [14:58] hi [14:58] I don't hear any sound when I play a movie with -ao pulse [14:58] mohsen: Not really.

It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [14:58] In pavucontrol I set everything to duplex digital audio [14:58] iec(something)? [14:59] mohsen: If you want to write more portable programs, probably to look at Python [14:59] In the playback tab I can see the bar going up and down for the digital audio thing [14:59] but no audio [15:00] genii-around : tnx alot [15:00] mohsen: You're welcome [15:07] where can I specify where pulse should send its output? === fitoria_ is now known as fitoria [15:14] g0th, in pavocontrol, there should be an option to send digital, usualy coax or toslink or even hdmi , analog is usally just line out [15:14] pavucontrol [15:15] g0th, I don't have much experience with pulseaudio since I don't need it for my setup [15:15] BluesKaj: hi, I remember you, I selected toslink (I think this is this iec thing) [15:15] I had to switch back to pulse audio because pure alsa was unuseable [15:16] but then all my settings were gone [15:16] now I hear nothing [15:16] anyway, why do I see the bars under "playback" moving but I still hear no audio? [15:17] toslink is optical out . g0th...alsamixer srill needs to be setup ...pulseaudio needs alsa to serve the audio siganl [15:17] signal [15:18] alsamixer is all ok [15:18] mplayer -ao alsa works [15:18] mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 [15:19] I need something similar for pulse [15:19] mplayer and pulseaudio don't do well together from my experience [15:21] g0th: mplayer -ao pulse [15:21] I just tried vlc with pulseaudio [15:21] I still hear nothing [15:23] vlc audio needs to be setup , in tools/preferences/audio . then set options there that suit the card , dev=0 or whatever your anaolg or digital out is [15:25] there is nothing like that for pulseaudio [15:25] I just found out (again) that pulseaudio and/or kde is buggy [15:26] I selected analog stereo, then I hear audio, then I selected digital stereo again and the sound is still there [15:26] but if I reboot and login again it will not work [15:28] hmm vlc works now too [15:29] but I think this is because it is the backend of pulseaudio [15:29] so somehow the change back to digital was not applied correctly and now pulse and vlc think it is still analog, even though the menu shows digital [15:29] in fact now I can select almost anything it always works [15:29] even things that clearly didnt work before [15:30] e.g. I just deactivated audio and I still hear it ^'^ [15:32] how and where did you "deactivate audio" ? [15:35] in phonon, I selected profile "off" under audio hardware setup [15:35] in vlc there was no change at all [15:35] I still heard the audio perfectly fine [15:36] it seems that the audio hardware setup doesnt choose the current card but it sets preferences for the cards [15:37] if I went to internal audio and selected 5.1 surround I suddenly hear nothing again [15:37] even if I switch to "audio adapter" (in phonon) [15:37] until I select analog stereo again [15:38] so it seems there is no way to select the hardware, I can just change preferences for different kinds of hardware, but where do I actually choose where the audio goes? [15:39] yeah, that's why I don't use pulse ...choose the hardware in phonon , without pulse audio you have more hw options in phonon , with pulseaudio the hw options are in pulseaudio paprefs and pavucontrol afaik [15:40] yes [15:40] I hate pulse [15:46] if pulse has the dev=? option then make sure it's the same in vlc, as I mentioned before === arden is now known as westlock [16:55] I am able to sync my ipod with my laptop using rhythmbox, but not with my desktop.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:45] i can't play flash video on browser (flash plugin is installed) [19:46] @dav I remove plugin then install Chrome Browser [19:47] i use firefox [19:47] dav: try reinstalling flash: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer" [19:48] Did you also restart FF? [19:48] (and tehn restart firefox) :) [19:50] James147, it works.! Thanks! [20:17] hello [20:18] hello jee_ :) Anything we can help you with? [20:19] Yes, i've two questions [20:19] ok, fire away and we'll try and sort them for you. [20:20] firstly, I've got a 32 Go USB key and was surprised to hear that my father bought it very cheap in congo [20:21] but when installing kubuntu, the computer detected the key as a 34,4 Go key and say it couldn't install kubuntu [20:21] I don(t remember the message text [20:22] you have the ISO burned onto the key? [20:22] (or are you trying to install kubuntu on the key)? [20:23] secondly I tried tu use it using kubuntu, the key is detectet as a 28,2 Go key and when trying to mount it says it's impossible [20:23] it's a rexton USB key [20:23] jee_: ^^ that size sounds more likly :) [20:23] no, kingston, sorry [20:23] jee_, the figures quoted when you buy usb storage are never exactly right. [20:24] yes I know it [20:24] My 500GB external USB hard disk detect as 486.9GB [20:24] BarkingFish: they are always right :) just in the wrong scale [20:24] yes it's because of the 1024 or 1000 [20:24] kibi or kilo [20:25] BarkingFish: the difference is binary vs decimal scale (is 1024 vs 1000 when going up a size) [20:25] do you know what the file system of the USB stick is? It's likely NTFS if it's that big, I don't think FAT can cope above 4GB [20:25] I thing it was ntfs [20:25] let me check something :) [20:26] James147, do you know if kubuntu needs any particular file system tools installing to handle NTFS partitions? [20:26] BarkingFish: for reading I dont think so [20:26] hm [20:27] using kparted it's a 32 Go USB key [20:27] though ""ntfs-config" wouldnt hurt :) [20:28]
