=== altj_away is now known as altj
StFShmm... I found something called kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade which I assume does what I want...15:12
StFSbut it doesn't actually tell me that it's installing the oneiric packages... but I imagine it's safe to assume that right?15:13

semitonesa really odd thing happened when I logged into kubuntu for the first time15:26
semitonesfirst the screen went all blue with just an icon of a hard drive in the center15:26
semitonesthen when I interacted with it, it went black, and then turned white, with only a pointer15:27
semitonesI had to use a virtual terminal to get out of it.15:27
semitoneswhat is supposed to happen when you log in?15:27
OerHeksStFS, dev release is the Beta Oneiric 11.10, it is not safe for production machines, yet.15:30
OerHekssemitones, after hdd icon you get 3 more icons, then you should get loginscreen, if you did not enable automatic login15:31
semitonesOerHeks: you login again after logging in at gdm?15:31
StFSOerHeks: thanks... do you know how the upgrade has been going generally for those who have tried?15:32
OerHeksStFS, the upgrade can take hours, upon howmuch applications you have installed15:32
OerHeksit should go fine,15:32
OerHekssemitones, no login happens only once15:33

qtfan Hey guys. How can I make the tabs in the task_manager to always fill up the height of the panel. It is not maximizing the space as  can be seen here : http://i.imgur.com/wwoRd.png17:08
BluesKajslipp3d, try running it in krunner , alt+F2 as kdesudo17:09
qtfanI had also forced the maximum row of the task_manager to 1 but it seems that there are still 2 allotted rows. Same screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/wwoRd.png17:09
slipp3dBluesKaj, that works .. but it's setting up the client under the root account17:10
slipp3dnot mine17:10
qtfanoww... i just found out that on a new workspace(s), the height of the task bar is maximized....weird... X_X http://i.imgur.com/HMYVZ.png17:18
BluesKajslipp3d, then just try it without sudo , you should have default user permissions to the app17:29
slipp3dit tries to start and I get an icon in the task manager but then it closes itself with no error17:30

BluesKajslipp3d, evolution is a gtk app, wondering if you have some missing gtk libs , if you are on kde since this kubuntu ...but i'm not much help since I don't use either kontact or evolution.18:19

slipp3dbut why would it launch from the term ?  you would think that those missing libs would still cause issues18:22
BluesKajslipp3d, whynot try this , it might pull in the missing libs , sudo apt-get install --reinstall evolution18:27

hippohello i am haveing networking dificultys for some reason i can connect to all wifi but my house i know the password is right and i know its a good conection because i when i boot up windows i get on fine and i have another computer with juli cloud and that computer is conected fine also23:22
lynnew2003hi23:25
BarkingFishhippo, Hi!23:29
BarkingFishRight, you're having problems connecting to your house Wifi, correct?23:29
SubCoolANyone VNC or 64Bit LiveUSB?23:29
SubCoolhow can you tell what bit ur current system is running under23:29
BarkingFishEasiest way?  What type of processor do you have in the computer?23:30
SubCoolwell, i know what it is- but.. i installed a 32bit kubuntu on it- so i wanna see what it says23:30
BarkingFishhippo, Do you know what encryption your wifi at home is using?  WEP, WPA or WPA2?23:30
hippothe password is just 4192883530 im pretty sure its a wep right ?23:31
BarkingFishhippo, do you have network manager running?23:31
BarkingFishIf you do, that will tell you what type of encryption the connection uses.23:32
hippoyeh i am actually conected fine at the naibors23:32
SubCoolBarkingFish,23:32
BarkingFishRight, if you open network manager - you'll see a list of the available connections, hippo23:32
hippook23:33
BarkingFishthere should be a shield next to the connection - it'll either be green, yellow or red23:33
hippoyellow23:33
BarkingFishgreen is WPA or WPA2, yellow is WEP23:33
hippook so its wep23:33
BarkingFishright.  And you cannot get it connected to your home wifi?  that is odd.  Let me look at this for a second, be right back23:34
BarkingFishhippo, Can you open the network manager, and click on Manage connections please?23:35
BarkingFishWhen the manager opens, click on your connection in the center box, and then click "Edit" on the right23:36
hippook23:40
hippook23:40
BarkingFishright.  You should have a box up which shows the details of the connection- can you click on the center tab marked "Wireless Security" please?23:41
hippoyeh i got that and i am there23:41
BarkingFishOnce you have this, can you tell me what you have listed for - Key type  and   Authentication please?23:42
hippopassprhase for 128bit and authentication23:43
BarkingFishWhat is listed under authentication? Open System or Shared Key?23:43
hippoopensytem23:43
BarkingFishok, can you change the settings to "Key type: Hex or ASCII key for 64 or 128 bit" and "Authenticaton: Shared Key" please?23:44
hippoalright got it23:45
BarkingFishok.  Put the password in, and click OK23:45
hippook23:46
BarkingFishhippo, in most cases with WEP, it's trial and error.  It may be a combination of those settings23:46
hippook so just kinda mess with it23:46
BarkingFishcould be Passphrase for 128 Bit, but authenticating as a Shared Key23:46
BarkingFishyeah23:46
