| winstonG | how can i sync ipod touch? | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | if you want to use the Apple sync, you'll probably have to run iTunes in Wine | 00:11 |
| valorie | files can be moved back and forth, but their sync isn't made available outside of iTunes | 00:12 |
| valorie | !ipod | 00:12 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 00:12 |
| valorie | winstonG: ^^^ | 00:16 |
| valorie | so I guess the answer to your question is, what do you mean by sync? | 00:16 |
| valorie | the links above should help more than I know | 00:17 |
| winstonG | valorie: my amarok can see that there's an ipod | 00:17 |
| winstonG | but cannot see the stuff in it | 00:17 |
| winstonG | valorie: thanks i'll check the links | 00:18 |
| valorie | they have a non-standard file-system, which sucks a bit | 00:24 |
| avihay | hi, my computer just crashed. I want to know why. where should I look? /var/log/dmesg.1 ? | 00:31 |
| DaemonFC | ksystemlog makes going through those log files easier | 00:35 |

| winut | hi! does muon work properly in 11.04? thanks | 00:53 |
| winut | package manager | 00:55 |
| valorie | yes, for me it does | 00:56 |
| valorie | I've been using it for many months | 00:56 |
| winut | oh, thats great news. hopefully it'll be fixed for 11.10 launch :-) thanks | 00:57 |
| winut | i'm using synaptic until they iron out the bugs | 00:57 |
| winut | plus its much better and nicer than synaptic :-) | 00:57 |
| winut | any idea on how to get gnome-keyring to load on login? thanks | 00:58 |
| valorie | I think Jontheechidna hasn't been around in IRC lately | 00:58 |
| winut | using evolution mail atm and that requires gnome keyring, as its not programmed to use kwallet | 00:59 |
| valorie | right, I'm trying out Tomboy notes and ubuntuone, and it starts for me | 00:59 |
| valorie | i have to put in my password every time, of course | 00:59 |
| valorie | this would be an #ubuntu question I think | 01:00 |
| winut | however, evolution still prompts for the password, albeit just 1 with gnome-keyring installed. however, would be better to open without password. any ideas? thanks | 01:00 |
| valorie | there is a ##evolution channel | 01:00 |
| valorie | not sure if that's what you need or not | 01:01 |
| winut | okay, cool :-P thanks again | 01:01 |
| valorie | it has no channel /topic | 01:01 |
| valorie | so it could be about the biological process | 01:01 |
| valorie | lol | 01:01 |
| winut | mmm, 4 users, better than none i guess | 01:02 |
| winut | thats including me btw! | 01:02 |
| winut | however, thats at #evolution | 01:03 |
| [Relic] | n #ubuntu | 01:03 |
| winut | ill ask in +1, as im on kubuntu 11.10 using evolution 3 | 01:04 |

| volty | hi, wine-1.2.2 installed via meta, how can I configure it to switch to 1.3 ? | 01:49 |
| winut | wine1.3 | 01:50 |
| winut | remove and replace with the above version | 01:50 |
| winut | i use the winehq ppa, not sure if it s the same version | 01:51 |
| winut | sorry, what is meta? | 01:51 |
| volty | winut: wasn't there a utility to choose the versions used (I can't remember the cmd) | 01:52 |
| winut | why do you need both? | 01:52 |
| volty | meta package is kind of symbolic link pointing to which version to install by default | 01:53 |
| volty | said in a primitive way | 01:53 |
| winut | ok, thats fine, maybe i jumped off the handle here! lol | 01:53 |

| valorie | but do not know how you got that web shortcut | 02:16 |

| volty | so go konqueror settings edit the gg shortcuts and just put http://www.google.com/search?q=\{@} (even without utf8) | 02:18 |

| casey | Hi! Can someone help me with an easy one? I'm locked out of my computer because it's booting into a broken Gnome session and i can't figure out how to get it back to KDE... | 04:24 |
| casey | I logged out of KDE, chose a gnome session, did some testing, tried to log out of gnome and chose "default session" hoping to get back to KDE... | 04:26 |
| casey | It hung there, and on a reboot it goes to a Gnome desktop with no menus/keybord shortcuts/etc. Just the desktop. I just want the X startup scripts to go back to KDE, or at least a way to get to the KDM login manager so i can get out of this trap... | 04:27 |
| valorie | !boot | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 04:31 |
| valorie | maybe some help there, casey? | 04:32 |
| casey | hi valorie - i'd love some help. Was that boot option line directed at me? | 04:33 |
| valorie | yes | 04:33 |
| valorie | I've never seen your exact situation before | 04:33 |
| valorie | but those seem like they might offer some help | 04:34 |
| casey | Thanks. I'm not having grub-level trouble. It's booting fine. The issue is somewhere in the x stuff... xinitrc, kdm configs, etc... I'm trying to figure out where the default session is remembered, etc. | 04:34 |
| casey | Somehow running gnome caused it to remember gnome as the default session... | 04:34 |
| casey | and since gnome isn't starting up correctly, i can't switch back. :-( | 04:35 |
| valorie | not very nice of that gnome session, for sure | 04:35 |
| casey | agreed. :-) | 04:35 |
| valorie | !kdm | 04:35 |
| casey | Sorry, i'm a noob... what is the meaning of the "!" there? | 04:35 |
| valorie | ubottu doesn't know about kdm | 04:35 |
| ubottu | valorie: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:35 |
| valorie | it asks the bot a question | 04:35 |
| casey | ah. | 04:35 |
| valorie | you can do it too | 04:36 |
| valorie | !wireless | 04:36 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:36 |
| valorie | etc. | 04:36 |
| casey | yeah, i've been googling around trying to sort through the nest of config files and so forth, but i can't track down exactly where kdm (which is running, and presumably starting gnome) is getting the idea that gnome is the session to use... | 04:36 |
| valorie | !init | 04:37 |

| valorie | heh | 04:37 |
| casey | Doh. | 04:37 |

| casey | Got it. Handy. | 04:37 |
| Lithos84 | casey: Perhaps if you remove "gnome-session". | 04:38 |
| casey | Thanks - remove it from where? | 04:38 |
| Lithos84 | casey: From a console: sudo apt-get remove gnome-session | 04:38 |
| casey | oh, thanks. I'd like to not uninstall things just yet, though obviously i will if i have to... somewhere is a config file that's causing this... | 04:39 |
| casey | since kdm is still running (as it should be) and gdm is not, i'm assuming that kdm is what is starting the gnome session, right? | 04:39 |
| casey | i've looked in /etc/kde4/kdm | 04:40 |
| Lithos84 | casey: Can't you choose KDE as login session on KDM? | 04:40 |
| casey | KDM doesn't come up... i had it set for autologin, which i presume is why it now flies right into the broken gnome session... | 04:41 |
| casey | i know there's a file somewhere that has something like "autologin=true" or whatever... hopefully with session selection stuff as well (?)... can't remember where it is.... arrrggghhhh.... | 04:41 |
| casey | Aha... | 04:44 |
| casey | /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc has AutoLoginEnable... just set it to false... booting... | 04:45 |
| casey | I think KDM logs into the last session... since gnome died when i was trying to log out, it remembered gnome | 04:46 |
| casey | bingo, i'm back in! :-) | 04:46 |
| casey | well, that took longer than it should have. :-) Thanks for the suggestions. | 04:46 |
| Lithos84 | casey: Good! (^^) | 04:47 |
| casey | It's always the easiest stuff that hangs me up the longest. | 04:47 |

| LINKSWORD2 | Hey everybody, what's up? | 05:51 |
| LINKSWORD2 | So I'm working on my friend's laptop, and apparently it's behaving really weirdly. | 05:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It's got Kubuntu 11.04 on it, but flash-objects are super slow. | 05:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | The Kubuntu alternative to Flash Player is really acting like molasses in January. | 05:52 |
| e_t_ | LINKSWORD2: You're (or your friend) using Gnash? | 06:04 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I know just enough about Kubuntu to get myself in trouble. lol | 06:05 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What is Gnash? | 06:06 |
| e_t_ | LINKSWORD2: You talked about "The Kubuntu alternative to Flash Player". So far as I know, the only alternative to Adobe's Flash is Gnash, the GNU Foundation's flash interpreter. | 06:08 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK, that may be it. | 06:09 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Either way, it's behaving like frozen molasses. | 06:09 |
| LINKSWORD2 | My system runs just fine with the regular Flash Player installed, but my friend's does not. | 06:12 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm using a full Kubuntu installation on an "older than the dark ages" Compaq, while he's got an HP laptop of approximately the same age. (Roughly 8 years.) | 06:13 |
| e_t_ | LINKSWORD2: I'd suggest trying Adobe's flash (sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer). I've never been able to get Gnash to work for me. | 06:15 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I figured. | 06:16 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Well, we're going to back up his system, and start over fresh. Then I'll do that. | 06:16 |
| valorie | !gnash | 06:18 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 06:18 |
| valorie | I use the non-free flash | 06:18 |

| well_laid_lawn | diego21: it has to be unmounted so you can format it | 09:39 |
| diego21 | yes, I know | 09:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | is it getting automounted ? | 09:41 |
| diego21 | yea | 09:42 |
| diego21 | no, sorry | 09:42 |
| diego21 | it doesnt automount | 09:43 |
| diego21 | the system detects it, but doesnt mount it | 09:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | if it's unmounted it should be able to be partitioned | 09:44 |

| James147 | Chris-Magentium: what programs? | 10:46 |
| Chris-Magentium | James147 - VLC, Mplayer, and all other media players. When streaming from a Media share, Dolphin saves a local copy of the file instead of streaming it to the programs | 10:47 |
| James147 | Chris-Magentium: dolphin just passes a url to the applications... it dosnt handel saving or streaming... have you tried kaffeine or dragon player? | 10:47 |
| Chris-Magentium | dragon player works but goes mental in Fullscreen. I have not tried Kaffeine yet, is it any good ? | 10:48 |
| James147 | Chris-Magentium: I think so, much more advanced then dragon player | 10:48 |
| Chris-Magentium | I will install it and try it. I also find that if i use Gnome to Connect to Server, and then play a file from a MOUNTED network drive, it works fine. Is there a way to mount network drives in KDE ? | 10:49 |
| Chris-Magentium | Correction : I also found that if i used gnome ... | 10:50 |
| Chris-Magentium | James147 - Thank you so much!! Kaffeine is EXACTLY what i need!! Do you have any info about Mounting network drives in KDE ? | 10:52 |
| James147 | Chris-Magentium: not sure if kde will do it... but you can add an entry to /etc/fstab to automatically do it at boot | 10:52 |
| James147 | Chris-Magentium: also: http://www.jfdesignnet.com/?p=1281 might be of intrest (at elast the edit at the bottom) | 10:53 |

| spartan137 | please? | 13:36 |
| bline | why do you want to disable console? | 13:39 |
| bline | dunno if there are tools to manage these but the consoles are started from /etc/init/tty[1-6].conf | 13:41 |
| bline | maybe removing those would not launch the consoles, I've never tried | 13:41 |

| xenon_ | Hey everyone | 13:52 |
| winut | any idea why phonon backend vlc wont work with amarok on kubuntu 11.10? thanks (causes it to crash immediately) | 13:52 |
| xenon_ | Does anyone know how to get the connection manager working properly? My pppoe connections aren't showing | 13:54 |
| BluesKaj | winut, I just tried the combo you with vlc -phonon-plugin as the backend and amarok crashes here as well after about 2 secs of music. .. Gonna try it with gstreamer , to see what happens there. | 14:02 |
| winut | thanks, that works ok | 14:03 |
| winut | but still crashes often | 14:03 |
| winut | i heard vlc is the superior, i reckon kubuntu should use that instead by default | 14:03 |
| winut | however, that would require a re write of all the packages in kde-desktop etc ! | 14:04 |
| winut | gstreamer also plays the radio channels at the wrong speed half the time | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | winut, it's amarok that at fault here . try vlc to see if your music will play | 14:05 |
| winut | good idea :-) thanks | 14:05 |
| winut | ill speak to my dad about it | 14:05 |
| * BluesKaj has never like amarok much ...always found it clunky and crashy | 14:06 | |
| BluesKaj | liked | 14:06 |
| winut | well once it has vlc backend, it should finally be stable | 14:07 |
| winut | it needs something that is compatible with all the formats its trying to play | 14:07 |
| winut | ! | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | VLC comes with most format codecs and wrappers already installed | 14:09 |
| LogicallyDashing | I'm trying to use rekonq for my primary browser, for integration's sake. But I can't log into tvtropes. OK, I can log in, but then when I go to edit anything it tells me I need to get known. What up? | 14:09 |
| LogicallyDashing | Er... never mind. Caching problem. | 14:10 |
| davyde | hi people | 14:24 |
| davyde | can you tell me why i cannot share the directory /mnt/Disk ? | 14:25 |
| DarthFrog | Have you (a) configured Samba to share it and (b) ensured that the directory has the necessary permissions? | 14:28 |

| kubb | I am using KDE Ubuntu 11.10 and have inadvertently uninstalled gtreamer which uninstalled loads of programs. from the logs I got it back together again but now when I clickon a folder on my desktop it opens VLC. Anyone know how to fix this? | 15:09 |
| markit | hi, I want to do a certain action when the PC starts (send a mail), and do the same when shutdowns. I've found /etc/rc.local the percfect place for the start part, but is there an equivalent for shutdown? Should be fired while all services are still up (i.e. networking) | 15:14 |
| kubb | OK sorted I went into inode-directory associations and removed vlc | 15:15 |
| DarthFrog | markit: The scripts in /etc/rc2.d are where you want to look. Scripts that start with "S" are started upon entry to that runlevel. Scripts that start with "K" are processed upon leaving that runlevel. Scripts are processed in numerical order. | 15:16 |
| kubb | Another issue - Wine programs used to minimise to system tray but now get minimsed to the desktop and wine button in the task manager . Anyone know how to get it back the way it was? | 15:17 |
| markit | DarthFrog: is this still valid, since now ubuntu uses the "services" stuff | 15:17 |
| markit | ? | 15:17 |
| markit | and do I have then to create one myself, not "standard" one like rc.local? | 15:18 |
| DarthFrog | markit: Hmm, don't know - it's been a long time since I looked at that sruff. | 15:18 |
| DarthFrog | markit: "K00do_what_I_want" | 15:18 |
| markit | ok, got it, thanks | 15:19 |
| DarthFrog | markit: Read the README file in /etc/rc2.d. | 15:19 |

| leoBava | hello there!! | 16:33 |
| semitones | what are some alternative music players to amarok that integrate well into kde | 16:45 |
| semitones | but have a cleaner interface | 16:46 |
| avihay | semitones: Juk, I guess, also kaffein I kind of dislike juke, kaffein isn't really a dedicated music player either. I dislike amarok more. | 16:49 |
| deis | im so happy kubuntu exists, i tried out Ubuntu on my desktop and did not like it, but then decided to give Kubuntu exists, i realized most of my dislike was because of Gnome | 16:50 |
| semitones | avihay: I've heard people mention clementine,, is it a kde app? | 16:50 |
| semitones | i'm kind of new to kubuntu | 16:50 |
| DaemonFC | Clementine is a fork of Amarok 1.4, which shipped in KDE 3.x, it uses QT 4 and Gstreamer now | 16:52 |
| avihay | I don't know, you'd have to check the main site. anyway, I wouldn't worry so much about kde integration | 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | it works fine with KDE | 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | though I personally prefer Amarok | 16:53 |
| semitones | i thought you had to use kde apps, or else th ememory would get full | 16:53 |
| deis | is there a better app for mouse and keyboard sharing now between linux and windows computers, i used synergy way back in the day | 16:53 |
| avihay | well, how much memory do you have? | 16:54 |
| DaemonFC | semitones: Not true, and QT4 is the GUI toolkit of KDE | 16:54 |
| DaemonFC | the overhead of running GTK+ applications is minimal | 16:54 |
| DaemonFC | Firefox is one example | 16:54 |
| semitones | oh ok | 16:54 |
| DaemonFC | the main advantage to running programs made for KDE is that they fit in better with KDE | 16:55 |
| semitones | in what way? | 16:55 |
| avihay | in amarok's case, I think that that sums up in the shortcuts appearing in the system config | 16:55 |
| DaemonFC | look and feel mostly | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | this doesn't apply to 11.04, but VLC ftw on my pc , it plays everything one can throw at it and no clunky interface like amarok ...amaork isn't working with phonon backends gstreamer and vlc-phonon-plugin on 11.10, so i guess amarok users have to use xine | 17:06 |
| semitones | this is a weird thing -- in ubuntu, plugging in headphones mutes the speakers, but in kubuntu it does not... | 17:06 |
| avihay | I expirienced amarok finiding it hard to play a simple playlist, as well as haveing problems dealing with my collection | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | semitones, open alsamixer and enable automute , you'll find it with F5 key and right arrow to navigate to it | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | I gave up on building proper playlists in amarok ...I just set all the media extns to open with vlc , so I can play music right from the folders | 17:10 |
| semitones | BluesKaj: what is f5 supposed to do in alsamixer? | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | semitones, it shows all the ctrls , including capture and the automute option | 17:11 |
| semitones | i see captuer but not automute.. | 17:11 |
| semitones | capture | 17:11 |
| muntiKubu | anyone knows which pakg has the add-apt-repository command? | 17:13 |
| muntiKubu | pkg* | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | semitones, do you show a headphone ctrl ? and make sure you don't have any Ms in the ctrl boxes that you want to use, use the M key to unmute them | 17:14 |
| semitones | yes i do have a headphone control, as well as mixer, speakers, pci, etc | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | in alsamixer? | 17:15 |
| semitones | yes. do I enable automute with a shortcut of some kind? | 17:16 |
| BluesKaj | it should work when youn plug the headphones in | 17:16 |
| semitones | it doesn't though -- it did in ubuntu | 17:16 |
| BluesKaj | well, I have a different setup now so I haven't dealt with this problem for 2yrs or so...guess something's changed | 17:18 |
| BluesKaj | anyway I have to go for a while , BBL | 17:18 |
| semitones | here is the problem with the speakers written out if anyone is able to hellp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1846130 | 17:36 |
| deis | anyone have any suggestions, I have a USB headset, but it doesn't seem to be listed under the Master Channel | 17:47 |

| Kingh3mp | Hey guys, I'm having problems with Gnash, and I need to uninstall it. | 18:24 |
| Kingh3mp | How/where would I find it and uninstall it? | 18:24 |
| avihay | gnash should be there in the package manager | 18:26 |
| Kingh3mp | I just found out that Gnash isn't installed. Would sudo apt-get install gnash be the proper sequence? | 18:31 |
| BarkingFish | Kingh3mp, yes. | 18:33 |
| Kingh3mp | I can't remember how to find out how much RAM is in my system. | 18:38 |
| winut | system monitor? | 18:38 |
| BarkingFish | Kingh3mp, open konsole, and type top - hit enter, and 3 lines down at the top of the page, you'll see Mem: XXXXXXXXkb total | 18:40 |
| BarkingFish | just look at that line and it tells you the total memory in your system | 18:41 |
| BarkingFish | *4 lines down, sorry | 18:41 |
