[01:42] avihay: thereafter what do i click inorder to see locale? [01:42] avihay: i mean what do i click to see iBus input method? [01:43] iBus is not part of kde [01:43] it has it's own setup [01:43] avihay: i've installed it already. [01:43] avihay: where does the iBus button appear? in regional language or at another place? [01:44] type ibus in the alt-f2 window or something [01:44] it should tell you that the iBus daemon isn't running, and if you'd like to run it, then it'll show you a config dialog, and place ibus in the systray [01:45] avihay: it doesn't tell me iBus daemon isn't running. it's already @ my taskbar [01:45] avihay: how do i change my input method from KDE to iBus in system settings?

[01:59] avihay: drop down menu to choose iBus in Global Key Shortcuts [01:59] it's not there [02:00] you set ibus's shortcuts from within ibus's config dialog [02:01] avihay: may i'll do a restart === Slash is now known as Guest18700 === rajesh is now known as Guest34369 === kendra is now known as Guest31805 === dex is now known as dex__ [05:34] * moetunes is still known as moetunes === wander is now known as mach [05:36] hello [05:37] does anybody know what kinde of recording software this guy is using? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2faj5M8bbtk [06:22] when will libre office 3.4 be available for 11.04 [06:24] yea it comes pre-installed [06:24] ??

[12:20] эй...олухи [12:20] hello// [12:21] fuck [12:47] hey everybody :) [12:48] I just installed kubuntu [12:48] and... seeing as dragon player wasn't sufficient for my media files, I was wondering how to install vlc [12:48] I've tried to do so, but there's always a few dependencies that can't get installed [12:49] any suggestions? [12:50] DanBRK, VLC is in the repository's from Kpackagekit [12:51] I know [12:51] DanBRK, maybe you need Restricted extra's first, codecs, tools & multimedia stuff [12:51] but there are dependencies that, even though I just found one in Kpackagekit, can't get installed... [12:52] they all seem to lead to a certain vlc-data [12:54] wich dependencie you are talking about ? [12:56] vlc needs vlc-nox and libvlccore4 [12:56] vlc-nox needs libvlsccore4 [12:56] libvlccore4 needs vlc-data [12:56] vlc-data won't install, because it needs the ppa3 version instead of the ppa2 version [12:58] DanBRK, which version of Kubuntu are you working on ? [12:59] 11.04 [13:00] just updated it [13:00] amd64 [13:08] strange... [13:08] all the other files for vlc seem to be version 1.1.11-2~ppa3 [13:08] while only this file is version 1.1.11-2~ppa2 [13:29] hello! can anybody solve this problem? i need copy file from Windows disk to Linux. For this i use script on Perl: [13:29] $d='destination'; $s='source'; `cp $d $s`; [13:30] so, problem: how can i do this under root? (need semi-automatic script) [13:33] gaussblurinc: the only way would be to launch the script as root [13:34] Hiyas all [13:53] Hello [13:54] how can i listen my deezer music on amarok please ?

I gave it an honest to god shot and I really really want to switch back to Firefox *but* after using Firefox for just a couple minutes, I quickly remember why I ditched it. It integrates poorly and has no idea what applications do what... I am always prompted "which application would you like to use"... this is a bit ridiculous. Is there no fix for this? [14:46] i1920x1080, the apps can be found in /usr/bin usually , and just check remember button ...I assume your trying to DL a torrent file ? [14:47] BluesKaj: no. media or pretty much anything that isn't a webpage. if I download it, I can't expect for Firefox to know what to do and I just find the whole prompt cumbersome [14:48] i assume i1920x1080 pointing to the standard application to open a webpage menu ? [14:48] I am quite surprised at how often I download more than a webpage :\ [14:50] Chrome handled this remarkably well *but* failed at rendering some pages and sucks major balls and storing passwords for popular sites. the one key element that threw me off Chrome completely was it's poor and primitive bookmark handling [14:50] i1920x1080, you can set it up in FF edit>preferences>downloads to whatever folder you choose [14:51] how do i edit HOME/.bashrc ? [14:51] BluesKaj: yeah, I got it for Desktop. I find it quicker to download to desktop, minimize and launch the app [14:51] ionite: with an editor of your choice, just make sure it can view hidden files so you can find it [14:52] kate $HOME/.bashrc will do [14:54] i1920x1080: do u mind explain to me what does this mean? http://kenno.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/enable-japanese-input-on-debianubuntu/ [14:55] ionite: I am sorry, I do not know what it means [14:55] ionite: there are directions [14:56] ionite: you know how to use a console? [14:56] i1920x1080: i don't know what it means. add to my bashrc line? [14:56] no [14:56] you don't know how to get a package from console? [14:57] use the shortcut Alt+F2 and you should get a prompt. enter konsole and hit enter. a console should open up [14:59] i1920x1080: so what do i type in the console? [14:59] I used chromium for over a yr now , constantly waiting for it to integrate with kde font settings , but I finally switched back to FF ...I use a large monitor and the chromium tabs nad bookmarks bar fonts aren't configurable so they're too small to read at the native resolution [14:59] when you have the console up, you can complete step 2 from those directions [14:59] sorry, step 1 [15:01] BluesKaj: I was really hoping for chromium to be awesome. I gave it a real shot and tried real hard to like it. I can say when it comes to rendering, passwords and bookmarks, it's pretty primitive for me [15:01] BluesKaj: your problem stems from the fact (if I am correct), that no matter what, those elements of chrome are forced at 96 dpi or something similiar? [15:01] i1920x1080: david@nx116:~$ export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus david@nx116:~$ export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus david@nx116:~$ export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus [15:01] i1920x1080: nothing happens. [15:02] ionite: don't go nuts. the console should have you get pass step 1 'sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-anthy ibus-gtk' [15:02] did you do step 1? [15:02] i1920x1080: yes i did. [15:03] ok [15:03] ionite: do you have kickoff? the real graphical start menu? [15:03] i1920x1080: ibus is already installed but i still can't do a chinese input. [15:03] i1920x1080, there's just no integration with one's system settings on chromium , dpi / fonts / schemes [15:03] theres a search option in it, try searching for ibus [15:04] i1920x1080: iBus is started but i cant select the input method as iBus in locale [15:04] i1920x1080: in 11.4 there's this button in Local to choose input method as iBus but in 10.4 there aren't any. [15:04] ionite: unless you completed all the directions, I don't expect for you to finish this at step 1 [15:04] i1920x1080, chromium is a forerunner to the chrome OS , hence no linux themes are used [15:05] ionite: did you find the ibus preferences? [15:05] ionite: so you're sure the ibus daemon is running? [15:05] yes [15:05] i1920x1080: it's already in my taskbar [15:06] ionite: ok, try this hit Alt+F2 again. this time enter the following: kate ~/.bashrc [15:06] i1920x1080: but the funny thing is that i cannot start any chinese input. [15:06] i1920x1080: ok. it's opened [15:06] BluesKaj: I really liked the android theme. went well with my green oxygen theme [15:06] ionite: ok, scroll to the very bottom and add the following lines in step 3 [15:07] you should probably be putting those in .pam_environment but for now just follow the directions [15:07] i1920x1080: alright it's saved. [15:07] hit Alt+F2 and enter: konsole [15:08] just check for errors. if you get a prompt with no errors just close it [15:08] i1920x1080: how do i check for erros? [15:08] errors will just pop up [15:08] i1920x1080: do i need to type anything to see if errors will pop up? [15:09] if you got no errors you're good. [15:09] it'll just be a prompt [15:09] no erors [15:09] good [15:09] step 4, I am not sure of what it's saying... do you see what it's talking about? [15:10] i1920x1080: ok i've done step 4 by select chinese. [15:10] i1920x1080: should i log out and log in again? [15:11] ok, if it does not work for you, restart the x server. yeah, log out, im not sure if the x server is restarted but on the login menu, attempt to shutdown the pc *but* select restart X to be safe [15:11] i1920x1080: btw how do i disable some applications in my taskbar? i'm using 10.4 [15:11] unlock the taskbar and a cashew nut should show up on the right of the taskbar... click the nut and you should enter a way to do that [15:13] hey BluesKaj, you ever run into the issue of trying to export chrome passwords to firefox? it's a real pain in the anus issue and I think I'm stuck on it to be honest [15:16] i1920x1080: i am talking about the volume task bar. beside it there's bluetooth and printer applet. how can i disable both of them? [15:18] ionite: you'll need to go to systemsettings [15:18] alt+f2 enter: systemsettings [15:18] i1920x1080: ok. [15:18] i1920x1080, i use a different system for pws ..never tried to export/import them ,,,I keep my pws in an encrypted text file , if I need one I refer to the file [15:19] i1920x1080: i'm at system seetings [15:19] BluesKaj: yeah, I don't blame you. kwallet is another mess. I can't wait to see how secretservice turns out [15:19] ionite: theres a search bar? [15:19] enter service [15:19] go to system administration, startup and shutdown and services [15:19] kwallet was always klunky for me ...always removed it [15:19] it should probably be there [15:20] BluesKaj: I really don't blame you. you found anything that integrates well with kmail, kopete? [15:21] i1920x1080: i entered applet but nothing apperas [15:21] i1920x1080: btw they're moving ksecretservice into a kdelibs branch [15:21] so ksecretservice support is probably planned for 4.9 or 5 i guess [15:21] i1920x1080: i entered bluetooth too and nothng happened [15:22] shadeslayer: I am still not sure about how secret service is going to work or what it is exactly (gui, daemon, etc) [15:22] ionite, you searched for just 'service' [15:23] i1920x1080: i did. nothing appear [15:23] how do i automount drives on the system start? [15:23] please reply ! [15:23] ionite: interesting. not sure what you're seeing or why you're not finding it [15:23] ionite: one sec [15:24] ionite: do you have a configure menu entry on the toolbar? [15:24] if you do, can you change it to tree? [15:24] i1920x1080: i tried service manager but the bluetooth and printer applet doesn't appear on the service manager list. [15:24] oh, you found the list but you're not finding the services [15:25] under start up services, you don't have BlueDevil? [15:25] arihant: at login: system settings > Removable devices... at boot you need to add an entry to /etc/fstab [15:25] i1920x1080, sorry i remove kmail and kopete , since i don't use either since kde4 was launched ... kmail is especially klunky IMO [15:26] BluesKaj: kopete and kmail and konqueror and amarok are all useless for me. all too heavy for my net book. [15:26] i1920x1080: from what i gather, kwallet will grow a ksecretservice backend, not entirely sure tho [15:26] the only thing that burns me up about kmail is how it fails at working with email aliases. I got to create an identity to change my address 'on the fly'... not sure if you came from a windows background but I remember using a client called 'the bat'... wow. talk about nice [15:27] ionite: interesting [15:27] @James147 - yeah, that i have read but I'm a complete newbie here [15:27] arihant: easier way is to just let kde do it during login [15:27] unless there is a reason you need it mounted eailer? [15:28] @James147 - how can i do that? [15:28] system setting > removable devices [15:28] ionite: did you find the BlueDevil service?

[18:20] (and does that user have permissions to do waht the script needs) [18:22] so, problem like this: i need to copy file from Win7 hard drive. and script needs password from su. for this i edit 'sudo crontab -u root -e' [18:22] gaussblurinc: you just need "sudo crontab -e" to edit roots crontab [18:23] (-u only if editing another users) [18:25] gaussblurinc: you could try logging the output to a file (add to the end of the command " > file.log" no quotes) [18:25] (and add echos to the script if it dosnt actully output anything) [18:31] nope, it doesn't work === lethu is now known as Gossamer_ === Gossamer_ is now known as lethu [18:39] I often use a LiveCD for copying documents to a portable harddrive for customers during the process of fixing their computer problems... [18:39] I don't see why you would have security / password problems... === nicholas is now known as Guest96924 === robin is now known as Guest94692 [19:13] hi [19:13] hi === yofel_ is now known as yofel === robin is now known as Guest96686 === hplpb|irssi is now known as hplpb2 [20:53] * Daskreech hugs valorie [21:04] Hey guys, can I add stuff to the directory shortcuts on the Computer menu? [21:04] For example, the Computer menu has Home, Root and Network... Can I add more? [21:06] LINKSWORD2, yes you can [21:06] How? [21:06] right-click below on an empty space, add item [21:07] and then you can browse to the folder you like to have in your list [21:07] Right-clicking on it is not doing anything. [21:10] LINKSWORD2, computer menu in kmenu ? [21:11] *empty space on your dolphon sidebar [21:11] or in dolphin [21:11] yes, dolphon is a mistype :-D [21:13] computer menu is such a generic term , it could mean any foldder dir , file manager [21:13] Blues, when you open the Launcher, the middle tab is labeled Computer. [21:14] I want to add my music folder just below the Home folder access. [21:19] LINKSWORD2: try this: open Dolphin, Home, drag your Music folder to the left pan (or from it "Add Entry") . Check your menu again [21:19] pane too [21:20] lcb, that trick does not work with Kmenu > computer [21:20] sorry, yes it does [21:21] Thanks, lcb! [21:21] anytime LINKSWORD2 [21:21] OerHeks: I have learned to never doubt something until you have tried it.... [21:22] let me make a screenshot [21:23] don't shoot your screen.. [21:24] LMAO! [21:25] http://picpaste.com/pics/menu-g1q9fVHt.1315257899.png [21:25] i can not see the folder "Documents' in Kmenu > computer [21:28] OerHeks: before you shoot someone :p right click on top (right after) your menu icon; select Application Launcher Menu Settings; play with it [21:30] * LINKSWORD2 hears shots fired.* [21:31] LINKSWORD2, you can drag a folder to the panel [21:31] OerHeks: After putting the new folder under Places in Dolphin, the folder does show in the K Menu > Computer. I just did it. [21:31] LINKSWORD2: sometimes you can doubt it even after you tried it [21:31] no need to put it in the kmenu [21:33] hi. I've tried setting the default font to Segoe (the Windows 7 one, much better for reading imho), but I'm not getting the same result. Anybody did the same operation successfully? [21:35] LINKSWORD2: there is another way of inserting that - by right clicking on the folder and "Add to Places". [21:35] Segoe is not a standard available font, i guess ? [21:36] OerHeks, I've taken it from my windows\fonts folder [21:38] OerHeks, alternatively, can you recommend some better font settings than the standard ones? e.g. in firefox I can't find a good font as Segoe [21:38] reesefrancis: Not all fonts are compatible with all operating systems. [21:39] LINKSWORD2, which standard font would you recommend me then? 'Ubuntu' is too thin [21:40] You can modify how the Ubuntu font is shown for various tasks, menus, etc. [21:40] yeah [21:40] what do I have to edit in order to change the font shown in firefox web pages? [21:40] For example, I use Ubuntu with Bold and a 10pt size for the clock display on my desktop. [21:41] Hmm.... I just saw that the other day. Let me look to see if I can find it again. [21:41] thanks [21:41] there is a font settings form for web pages, but it doesn't actually change anything [21:42] I believe it must be in the hidden folders associated with Firefox. [21:43] I'm not sure if I can find it again, but I'll be looking. [21:44] what do you mean by hidden folders associated with firefox? .mozilla? [21:44] Yeah. [21:45] Just a moment. [21:45] I have too many windows up. lol [21:45] reesefrancis: what browser do you use? [21:46] Daskreech, firefox [21:46] Ah Ok carry on LINKSWORD2 [21:47] do you have suggestions for chromium? [21:47] I'm sorry, reesefrancis, but I can no longer find the files. [21:48] I recently updated Firefox, and it apparently stores those settings either internally, or in another folder I can't find. [21:48] LINKSWORD2, but they're in .mozilla somewhere? I'll search there [21:48] It may have changed. :( Sorry. [21:48] no problem, thanks! [21:48] I feel like I didn't help... :( [21:49] nah you did === root is now known as Guest2810 [22:36] Wow. Activity dropped like a dead fly.... [22:37] LINKSWORD2: happens quite allot ^^ [22:45] yeah === Slash is now known as Guest93053 [22:48] no === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish === af_ is now known as Guest98361 === APERSON is now known as aperson [23:15] i need some help getting flash to correctly install/work [23:17] CartoonCat: how did you try to install it? [23:18] tried via kpackage and apt-get, flashplayer non free [23:18] it /was/ working till i did a update a few weeks ago (via kpackage) [23:20] CartoonCat: run "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplayer-installer" [23:20] will do [23:20] CartoonCat: -nonfree is just a dummy package (it just installs -installer and is save to remove) [23:21] E: Unable to locate package flashplayer-installer [23:24] ideas? [23:25] flashplugin-installer sorry [23:25] !restricted [23:25] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:25] dang [23:25] what's the one which advises you on adding the restricted source to apt-get? [23:26] BarkingFish: I have never needed to do that ^^ [23:27] !partner [23:27] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [23:28] James147, I was just thinking... [23:29] There's a package I have listed in kpackagekit, which will download the flashplayer anyhow if you install it [23:29] !info Adobe Flash plugin [23:29] 'Flash' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, natty, natty-backports, natty-proposed, oneiric, oneiric-backports, oneiric-proposed, partner, stable, testing, unstable [23:29] !info Adobe_Flash_plugin natty [23:30] Package Adobe_Flash_plugin does not exist in natty [23:31] !info flashplugin-installer [23:31] flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.3.183.7ubuntu0.11.04.1 (natty), package size 8 kB, installed size 184 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [23:32] i was thinking on one I can see here in kpackagekit, James147 - it says that installing that package will cause Flash player to download from Adobe [23:32] BarkingFish: thats the one I linked [23:32] James147: still not working, both firefox and opera [23:33] CartoonCat: I take it you restarted the broswers? [23:33] yup had them off when i did the apt-get [23:34] and, something else is broken too, also happened when that update was done, java doenst work, not that i use it a whole lot (and i can use javaws to get around that) [23:35] CartoonCat, does the plugin actually show up in firefox? [23:35] Tools / Add-ons / Plugins [23:35] BarkingFish: not that i can see. all sites show the container and link to adobe to install it [23:36] you should have a plugin similar to this: Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183 [23:36] yes it is there [23:37] Then I'm mystified as to why your flash isn't working [23:37] If you have the plugin, you should already have the flashplayer - installing the plugin downloads the player from Adobe's website [23:38] im confused to. anyway to view a log of whats happening? [23:38] CartoonCat: dose it work for any other broswer? [23:39] CartoonCat: 32/64bitß [23:39] ? [23:39] James147: no, opera also does not work [23:39] 64b [23:40] CartoonCat: use the 11.0-beta 64bit plugin from SevenMachines PPA, way easier than nspluginwrapper woes [23:40] ill look that up [23:40] and no drawbacks I know of [23:41] its flash, thats a drawback in and of itself [23:41] heheh [23:42] i really dont care about flash, but i need it for some things (thats why ive gone 4? 5? weeks with it not working and not one fsck has been given till now) [23:42] !gnash [23:42] gnash is Gnash is an open-source Flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [23:42] :D [23:43] imho, Gnash is not a full-blown alternative to the proprietary Flash player [23:43] nope it isnt [23:43] szal: not yet... at least [23:43] though it might be sutable if you dont use flash very much [23:44] i tried it out a year or so ago and it was pretty sparse [23:44] CartoonCat: ^^ prity long time ago [23:44] James147: i agree, but this is foss, so it need about a half decade to grow up [23:45] CartoonCat: not true ^^ it entirely depends on how active the comunitity is... [23:45] exactly my point [23:45] though I cannot really say for gnash :p [23:46] it cna be highly active and /still/ just not mature the way the end users need it to [23:46] true ^^ [23:47] CartoonCat: still, its worth trying it out at least once a year if your intrested in it :) [23:47] good point. i will see if that works for this [23:48] CartoonCat: worst case should be that you cannot use it and have to get flash working like you where anyway :) [23:48] (ignoreing human error that is :D ) [23:51] i am fully willing to admit error, i have no idea what error it would be [23:51] glash installed, not listed in firefox, should it be? [23:52] hrm [23:52] when i do a locate for gnash i only see 2 listings [23:53] Do you think there should be more? [23:53] i dont know, thats why im asking [23:53] you could sudo updatedb and check if there are more there. [23:53] at least i meant ot phrase it like that [23:54] oh bah [23:55] yeah, i think i found out why [23:55] there's only 2 entries because you don't have gnash installed :) [23:55] sudo apt-get install gnash-common [23:55] after the update it listed the .so's i was expecting [23:56] not sure why that is not auotmaticly done when a package is installed [23:56] i just installed it and I have a whole shedload of listings now :) [23:57] i hate ot do a updatedb as said [23:57] had [23:58] this is crazy, i just did a clean install in a VM, flash works out of the disc, do a update/upgrade blamo its broken
