[00:18] CartoonCat: I can confirm that using the flashplugin64-installer from SevenMachines PPA 'just works' where as the default flashplugin-installer does not. [00:24] for some reason when I log into kde after the desktop loads I get about 20-30 seconds of freezing that prevents me from doing anything. are there any tools I can use to help track down what the cause is? [00:24] this is on kubuntu 11.04 latest updates [00:25] what is linux mint? [00:25] what's the difference between Linux mint and kde 11.4? [00:25] !mint [00:25] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:31] ionite: it is a distro that I think uses kde (like kubuntu does)... so you cannot really compare it `to` kde [00:31] James147: meaning it's inferior to KDE? [00:31] James147: ure using ubuntu? [00:32] ionite: no... its a distro like kubuntu is... and as far as I know it uses kde as its desktop envrioment like kubuntu does [00:33] James147: no, there is a KDE edition of Mint [00:33] but the default is something else, afaik [00:33] szal: :) all I know is they have kde ... dont know much beyond that [00:34] but either way... you cannot compare a distro to a desktop envrioment [00:34] indeed [00:34] James147: szal i'm a noob to linux which should i use? [00:34] plus there's no such thing as 'kde 11.4' ;) [00:35] ionite: you gotta be kidding, you've been roaming around here for at least two weeks now.. [00:36] ionite: kubuntu and mint are two different distros that (like all linux distros) have different goals and ways of doing things... there is no one "best" distro and you `should` use which ever you like the ebst [00:37] szal: yes. and im having such tecnical issues with some environment, for eg, chinese input, now i'm using LTS. [00:37] ionite: try them both, use the one you like more... one o hte greate things about linux is there is so much choise (much like standards :D ) [00:37] one of the great ^^ [00:37] * James147 should go to bed [00:38] I dunno... I've used Fedora aka "RedHat" as well as Ubuntu and Knoppix.... [00:38] James147: ubuntu unity cant work well in my netbook [00:38] But I prefer Kubuntu. [00:38] LINKSWORD2: kde, isn't it resource heavy? [00:39] Not in my experience. [00:39] ionite: as much as most feature right envroments [00:39] rich ^^ [00:39] :p [00:39] I have Kubuntu on a VERY old Compaq system that could barely tolerate Windows 2000. [00:39] Yet Kubuntu works very well on it. [00:40] LINKSWORD2: are u using KDE LTS or 11.4? [00:40] i'm considering if i should use ubuntu LTS. [00:40] * szal ran a KDE distro DVD (PCLinuxOS) on a PIII 933 w/ 512 MB RAM once.. epicly slow, but worked [00:41] I believe I'm still running 10.10. [00:41] szal: what version was it? 4.0 was very slow compared to the later version [00:41] ionite: There are two main factors that determine what Linux distro you can use: The minimum hardware requirements of the distro (if your hardware doesn't meet the minimums, you can't use it), and how you feel about it. [00:42] ok guys here are my specs: 1.66 GHZ atom, 2gb ram, 256 video. [00:42] James147: FullMonty 2011.01 (KDE 4.4 or something) [00:42] ionite: kubuntu should run fine on that ^^ it does on my netbook wiht similar specs (exept the video memory) [00:43] LINKSWORD2: what is a system that can 'barely tolerate Windows 2000'? I remember running W2k no problem on a Celeron 450 w/ 256 MB RAM [00:43] szal: hmm, on a live dvd? ^^ wouldnt expect it to run great in a live envroment with 512 ram [00:44] James147: yes, live DVD [00:44] szal: should try an actual install on it :) I would think it should be allow smoother [00:44] considering there was probally no swap and the livesystem would be eating lots of ram :) [00:45] James147: (1) couldn't convince my father to free up space for an install ;); (2) the machine is dead now (mobo kicked the bucket) [00:45] * James147 dosnt quite understand how live system work with limited ram :p though he hasnt really look into it [00:45] I suppose I should rephrase.... [00:46] My system originally had a 1.66 GHz Pentium 4 and 256 MB of RAM. [00:46] Not overall bad, but the RAM sucked horribly.... UPGRADE!!! [00:46] W2k runs on as little as 128 MB RAM [00:47] or even on 64 MB, because 128 is the minimum requirement for XP [00:47] yeah, then you start loading modern software and you're in trouble [00:47] 400 MB of RAM for Firefox [00:47] a few hundred for an office suite [00:47] It was designed for XP, but came with W2K. [00:47] good choice [00:47] given the two [00:47] Anyway. Let's move on. [00:49] James147: so what should i do? d/l kde? ubuntu doesn't seem very light on my netbook. i need something light and pretty. [00:51] ionite: download every distro you are intrested in, try them for about a week (or less if you really cannot stand them :D ) and then keep the one you liked the most [00:55] James147: lol. i can't simply d/l so many. maybe any 3-5 suggestions so i can work around? [00:55] James147: also LTS and non LTS which should i choose? [00:56] ionite: then start with ubuntu/kubuntu... (I would alsways use the latest version unless you need long term support... which home users generally dont) [00:57] To get the widest variety, I'd recommend Fedora/RedHat, Knoppix, Debian, Mint, and of course, Kubuntu/Ubuntu. [00:57] ionite: if nether kubuntu or ubuntu feel right to you then you can try other distros [00:57] does ubuntu have the non-unity version? [01:00] James147: can i disable unity in ubuntu? [01:00] ionite: you would have to ask #ubuntu [01:00] oh ya. on the wrong channel [01:01] James147: but kde is great but how can i make it lighter? or is there any lighter version of kde? [01:02] ionite: there are no different "version" of kde like that ^^ but you can configure kde in prity much anyway... [01:02] James147: so i can make it lighter so to speak? [01:02] James147: but ubuntu appears to have quite some bugs. so i'm hesistant [01:13] there is no such thing as bug-free software (except for TeX perhaps) [01:26] If you want bug-free, and you've got a lot of money to get rid of, go get a Mac... [01:26] Otherwise.... You don't have many options. lol [02:18] #@$!% [02:18] Ok so I was doing a psaux and nspluginwrapper is running with no browsers active [02:19] its got a lock on the libflashplayer.so I am guessing that is stopping the isntaller from working correctly. [02:24] CartoonCat: I consider myself to be well-versed in technical terms related to systems... But that seriously went over my head. [02:25] Can you please elaborate on your problem without using jargon or shorthand? [02:39] That was fun. I hit the button I thought I had set up for opening the System Monitor and instead, the computer shut down... [02:43] GNOME 3 got me the other day [02:44] its shut down menus depend largely on what button you have pressed on the keyboard at the time [02:44] makes no sense just to avoid a couple entries [02:49] lol [02:50] DaemonFC: Do you know what shortcut there may be for the System Monitor? [02:50] it's under system/system monitor [02:52] Yeah, but is there a keyboard shortcut? [02:52] you might be able to set one [02:52] ... I'm going to have to find out where. :/ [03:07] LINKSWORD2: do you mean ctrl+esc [03:07] Apparently that's it... lol === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [03:56] how is it possible to do a simultianious boot? [03:59] riff: You can do a DUAL boot, but not a simultaneous boot. [04:00] i've seen it a system that ran linux mac os and windows [04:00] That's a mult-partitioned system. [04:01] It is possible to do that, but you CANNOT run two or more operating systems directly at the same time. [04:02] In my experience, it is best to install Windows first, then use a utility called EasyBCD to set the system up to run the other operating systems. [04:02] what is easy bcd? [04:03] Google search it. It will tell you all that you need to know. [04:03] And do some reading in their documentation before you decide to use it or not. [04:03] The other option, and perhaps better even, is to install the Mac OS, then use Mac's BootCamp to set up the other partitions. [04:03] Each option has its own benefits and risks. [04:04] If you prefer to install Linux first, you'll have to talk to someone else here that knows how to partition with Linux. [04:05] why do you prefer this over say grub? [04:06] EasyBCD takes place of the boot editors present in Windows, and can manage the setup for other operating systems and boot managers... [04:07] I've done setup with Mac and with Windows, but never with Linux, and therefore not with GRUB.... [04:07] So I prefer what I know how to do. [04:07] where can i change the wallpaper for the loading screen? (after login) [04:07] oh and hi :D [04:07] fair enough, [04:08] LordCrc: If you'll give me a couple minutes, I'm working with someone else at the moment. [04:08] LINKSWORD2: thanks [04:08] riff, depending on where you are located, you'll probably see better results, and more people to ask your questions to in about 12 hours. [04:09] Are there any more questions I can answer? [04:09] need to get ahold of my old boss he had a computer that could do a simultanious boot [04:10] Agh! Blasted..... @#$% thing.... [04:10] Sorry. [04:10] LordCrc: I believe I'm available to help you now. [04:12] LordCrc: Open the Launcher menu and point to Settings, then to System Settings. [04:12] aaight [04:13] If your layout is using the category system, you'll see Login Screen in the bottom row. [04:13] ah yes [04:14] From there, you're able to manage already-installed login screens, and get new ones. [04:15] If you need help with a particular one, I can help you out [04:17] Im unable to get dual monitors setup in kubuntu 11.10 on an nvidia card.. any suggestions? [04:17] *phone* [04:18] poitee: NVidia is known to have issues with Kubuntu because they don't provide Linux-based drivers on their website. [04:18] LINKSWORD2: well, the background for the loading screen is not the same as the background for the login screen [04:19] poitee: I think your best bet is to see if you can find a compatible driver in one of the repositories, or you may have to wait. [04:19] LordCrc: That's somewhere else. Just a moment and I'll see if I can find it. [04:19] ah [04:19] It's called a Splash Screen. [04:19] Splash screen [04:19] righ [04:19] thanks :D [04:19] LordCrc: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:19] LINKSWORD2: I did find a compatible driver.. everything seems to work just wont initialize my second monitor [04:19] ok so i have to modify this theme [04:19] bit sensitive bot there :D [04:20] poitee: Would you mind conversing in private so I can get better details and help you more accurately? [04:20] no problem [04:23] LordCrc: How are you progressing? [04:23] well, i cant find a simple way to modify an existing theme [04:23] i just want to change the background scaling [04:24] LordCrc: Is this a theme from the theme manager, or one you have to download via a link? [04:24] LINKSWORD2: this is the bog standard theme [04:24] LINKSWORD2: aka "Default" [04:25] Please give me about 5 minutes and I'll work directly with you. [04:25] LINKSWORD2: its just i use the same wallpaper for my desktop, but with a different scaling (i dont have widescreen here, looks squished), so and it just looks so jarring when it switches between the two scaling modes :D [04:25] i know, minor detail but :) [04:26] the rest of kubuntu looks so slick so it's kinda standing out more [04:27] As I said, I can work with you directly, LordCrc. I just need a few minutes. [04:27] thanks! [04:28] First up, LordCrc.... [04:28] !imagebin [04:28] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [04:29] ive had a bit of a kubuntu break as 8.04 and onwards was completely unreliable on my laptop, but i must say it's really come together for 11.10 [04:29] yes? [04:29] Also, I recommend using KSnapshot to take your screenshots, as it allows you to manage what you capture. [04:30] But you can upload them to http://imagebin.org/?page=add [04:30] what exactly was it you'd like me to screenshot again? [04:31] What theme are you wanting to modify? [04:31] The standard Horos theme? [04:32] Oops. I must've gotten booted out for flooding. lol [04:32] reset by peer it said [04:33] so your network resetted [04:33] ... Fail. lol [04:33] anyway, yes, the default Horos theme [04:33] What parts of it are you trying to modify? [04:33] wallpaper scaling mode [04:34] sorry, "Positioning" [04:34] from "Scaled" to "Scaled & Cropped" [04:35] it just seemed intuative to me that one should be able to easily modify a theme (like using a theme as a template for a new theme) [04:35] LordCrc: I'm not finding that option. [04:36] LINKSWORD2: http://imagebin.org/171216 <-- thats for my desktop, i'd like to do the same to the splash screen [04:37] Hold on. I think I'm getting confused by trying to work on two things at once. [04:37] sure np [04:37] i'll be here :) [04:42] * LINKSWORD2 pokes random people.* [04:45] LordCrc: I don't think you can set the splash screen to such things as "Scaled & Cropped" [04:45] hmm, i guess ill have to manually copy the theme and make a new one then? [04:45] i mean modify it as a new theme [04:47] That's getting into territory I don't know. [04:47] bummer, anyway thanks for the help [04:47] hmm activities seems like something id really love in another 2 releases or so :) [04:47] Perhaps I could help you more if there were a better way for you to explain it... etc. [04:48] You can already do SO much with Kubuntu lately. It gets more and more awesome each time. [04:48] no worries, and yes :) [04:49] like i said, 11.10 is really looking good [04:49] I'm running 11.04. [04:50] i'll be getting a new laptop soon, so i thought i might as well check out the new one [04:50] I try to avoid upgrading to the .10 extensions, because they're classified as a short-term support release, and can also have more bugs... [04:50] ah [04:51] well 11.04 didnt agree with my machine last time i checked it out [04:52] feels good to be back to kubuntu though :) my most important apps are kde based anyway so [04:52] :) === alejo is now known as Guest60340 === matchaw_ is now known as 64MAAEUCT [06:56] wtfdF a [06:56] fd a [06:56] a [06:56] sto e ova b ?

However, this panel is only visible on one monitor. How do I make it visible on all monitors? I know I can add a new panel on each monitor, however, then I need to manually add each shortcut as well as maintain these shortcuts in sync with the other panel.

I would like to restart it while remaining in session [11:23] esperegu: most probably not possible because running programs might be using the sound system [11:23] szal: stop: Unknown job: alsasound [11:23] thus preventing it to stop [11:23] hmm..

For example, I keep a journal encrypted with TrueCrypt -- is Nepomuk just going to leak the names of files therein (not so bad -- those are just dates) or is there actual indexing of the content that goes along with it? [13:32] Or does Nepomuk play nice and store the metadata in a hidden file in the directory, so that it respects encryption, or something like that? [13:33] And will it store information about, say, things I have torrented long after I have deleted those things? [13:34] drostie: well, you can tell it to ignore patterns ^^ so you should be able to configure it to ignore your encrypted dirs [13:34] drostie: though I cannot actually say much about the other stuff :) [13:35] Hmm. Well I guess I'll put this another way then. Do people here actually use Nepomuk for anything? :D [13:36] drostie: file tagging it useful :) [13:36] That's kind of what I was thinking. It might be useful to enable it maybe in my photos directory or so, if it makes searches faster. [13:37] drostie: and as far as I know it stores all info in a database rather then in the directory structure [13:37] Aww. :< Cleaner but less modular. [13:37] drostie: also faster ^^ whats the point in indexing if you just place the index with the files ^^ [13:38] have to then have a way to search for the indexes to search the index :p [13:38] hi [13:38] i am newer [13:38] hello fitha [13:38] xixi [13:39] i am chinese [13:39] Well there is still a use if you were categorizing photos and each folder had a .nepomuk file. It would just read in the .nepomuk files from all the directories and aggregate the tags when you wanted to do a search. [13:39] i am in china ,i am chinese,i [13:39] The real question is just whether the database can fit into memory or so. [13:40] drostie: depends on how much memory :) [13:40] drostie: but with indexing enabled it can become quite large (in excess of servral gigs) [13:40] !zh | fitha [13:40] fitha: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [13:41] ok [13:41] thank u [13:42] drostie: ^^ that is assuming you have allot of files :) [13:44] drostie: you can select which files and folder it will index... (defaults to everything in your home that isnt hidden)... so you can easaly configure it to not index private data [13:49] Yeah, I can probably exclude ~/Torrents and so on, and KDE routinely breaks privacy concerns more flagrantly.

I click ok/cancel/x but it just keeps coming back. I drop to a shell, df shows / is mounted and seems fine. [17:10] it was version 11.04 [17:13] any ideas? my windows partition is on an nvidia raid stripe. [17:13] maybe that has something to do with it? [17:15] I'm really sorry, I have no experience with raid or wubi - maybe one of the other guys here will be able to help you. Stay in the channel, be patient, and someone will get to you in due course :) [17:17] Micc: Yes, wubi has issues with raid [17:18] so, what if I install from usb stick? [17:22] Micc: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/move-wubi-to-a-usb-flash-drive/ may be useful [17:34] topi? [17:34] topic? [17:34] joe__: /topic [17:35] Sec, net, wtc?

[17:40] How can I find rooms about specific topics? re: security, networking etc? [17:41] joe, actually you've found it :) [17:41] joe__, you can use the ALIS search system on here - type /msg alis list ** and hit enter [17:41] I also find http://searchirc.com/search.php?SCHANS=1&SSORT=SIZE&N=freenode sometimes useful [17:41] if any channels exist which meet your keyword, they'll be listed [17:42] joe__, do yo have a qustion ? [17:42] * BluesKaj brings KB closer to receiver [17:43] i see [17:44] BlueS: Is this similar to the irc? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:46] this is irc. joe__ === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 [18:11] I'm back [18:12] in Ubuntu the autommount is automatic, but if I want to open a movie inside VLC, it doesn't see the mounted SAMBA share :( [18:12] so... back to Kubuntu [18:18] hi, i'm trying to install 11.10 beta on my latop... i think i may have messed up the partitioning as i'm getting "grub installation failed" [18:18] is there a way i can manually install grub via the livecd afterwards? [18:21] !grub2 [18:21] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [18:21] or would it be easier just to rerun the installation perhaps [18:42] kd === transitlogger is now known as apachelogger [18:43] so, if my / is sda1, i should install my boot loader there? [18:43] or in sda? [18:50] hmm reinstalling did not work [18:50] is it because im using efi? [18:50] says "grub-efi" failed to install into /target/ [18:55] LordCrc: sda and not sda1 for bootloader install [18:55] ok thats what i used [18:55] soo... [18:55] ok im gonna try the "boot repair" thing [18:57] i assume kubuntu livecd has something similar? :) [19:04] ah i didnt create an efi boot partition [19:04] i wish there was some way to use the guided partitioning but enter a max size [19:05] don't want to use 100% :( [19:15]
