I gave the directory as usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic/include. But still it is not working. could some one please help me?05:09

jorrikhello everyone. i know i can use KDE's settings to create shortcuts to open various programs (eg i setup WINDOWS+SPACE to open a konsole connected to a screen session), but i was wondering how to avoid conflict with existing keyboard shortcuts.08:11
jorrikis there a standard that's being used across KDE for shortcuts that need to work regardless of the window? eg ctrl+alt+? or something like that? i can sense that if i just make ctrl+d the shortcut to open dolphin it's going to cause issues with some programs, but how would i know in advance?08:12

Taggnostr2on my notebook I sometimes get a popup that says "wireless hardware disabled" immediately followed by "wireless hardware enabled", this might happen even a few times for minutes, or work fine for hours, do you know what could be the cause?16:08
Taggnostr2the switch to turn wireless on/off has some problems, however the hardware gets disabled/enabled even if I'm not touching the pc at all, and once the problem went away for a while after a reboot16:10
Taggnostr2also when it says "disabled" it always get enabled immediately, so I don't think it's switch going out of place16:11

genii-aroundTaggnostr2: There are some internal wireless cards which are actually USB, like Realtek 8187 for instance. In those cases when the device is not being used for a period of time, the system puts it into auto-suspend16:13
Taggnostr2genii-around, it happens even while I'm using it16:14
Taggnostr2fwiw the light on the switch goes off too16:15
OerHeksmaybe it is not disabling your hardware, just lost connection ?16:15
genii-aroundTaggnostr2: When it disconnects/reconnects, is there some message being added to dmesg output?16:15
Taggnostr2the popup says "wireless hardware disabled", and I had the same problem with different connections16:16
Taggnostr2genii-around, let me check16:16
Taggnostr2there are some messages about high speed USB devices, not sure if they are related16:17
genii-aroundTaggnostr2: Perhaps to pastebin16:21
Taggnostr2genii-around, I selected "sleep" from the menu, and when I logged in again I saw the disabled/enabled message again, and in dmesg, after "restarting tasks... done"  there is: "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready" "usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 12" "btusb_intr_complete: hci0 urb ffff.... failed to resubmit (19)"  then two more messages that says the same thing but with bulk instead of intr, "btusb_send_frame: hci0 urb fff... submission16:24
Taggnostr2failed" "usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 13"16:24
Taggnostr2the previous messages are similar, and the address keep increasing16:24
genii-aroundTaggnostr2: Looks symptomatic of what I explained earlier, computer puts USB into suspend automatically and network goes out16:25
Taggnostr2is there some place where I can set this and tell it to always keep it enabled?16:25
genii-aroundTaggnostr2: It takes a bit of poking around to find what usb device it is usually, but after that you can set the autosuspend value to be 0 in the /etc/network/interfaces file as a post-up command for that adapter16:27
genii-aroundTaggnostr2: In my box for instance, i have to do: post-up  echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-1/power/autosuspend    for my external usb network adapter for it to stay up16:28
Taggnostr2in interfaces I only have the loopback16:29
Taggnostr2before it used to work fine, just lately I started having this problem16:31
genii-aroundTaggnostr2: Please use the pastebin to show results of the commands: lsusb    and: cat  /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb4/id*        ..according to your "usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 12"  message the adapter should likely be on the usb4 bus. But we need make sure by finding the proper idProduct and idVendor codes for it in the usb4 directory and then comparing that to what lsusb tells us it should be16:41

marquee_hello! i got a question: I got a sandybridge mobile processor, and was wondering if I should get the 64 bit kubuntu or the x86 version?17:29
macer1of course x64 marquee_  :)17:30
marquee_are all the compatability issues fixed?17:30
marquee_like for example, I was trying to get yahoo video/voice to work on my other laptop (also kubuntu), and it had issues with jasper saying that it was the wrong version17:31
marquee_is it worth the 64bit upgrade?17:31
jmichaelxmarquee_: i have been using 64 bit for a few years now, and have had only very good experiences with 64 versus 32 bit... only exception being some annoyances with adobe flash17:31
DarthFrogAnnoyances with Adobe Flash are hardly limited to 64 bit!17:32
marquee_ah for flash, I got that addon in firefox that fixes flash automatically17:32
marquee_https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-aid/17:33
marquee_that fixed my flash probelm on my other laptop17:33
jmichaelxmarquee_: yea, there are a few possible remedies for the flash issues... it isn't a huge deal17:33
marquee_the only issue i got left thats holding me back from installing 64bit on my new system17:33
marquee_is that whole video chat thing on yahoo17:33
jmichaelxyea, i have read about that addon, but have not used it yet17:33
marquee_it works wonders, jmichaelx17:33
marquee_do any of you guys use the yahoo messenger service?17:34
OerHeksIA32-libs solves a lot of issues17:34
jmichaelxwhat have you been using for yahoo video chat?17:34
jmichaelxyea17:34
macer1OerHeks, ia-32 is now deprecated.17:34
macer1btw17:34
marquee_what do you mean>? i use it to talk to my family17:34
marquee_i tried to troubleshoot myself, some say its a kopete thing17:35
jmichaelxmarquee_: no, i mean what client have you been using in linux for yahoo video chat?17:35
marquee_kopete+jasper17:35
jmichaelxahh, kopete... i have never gotten along very well with kopete17:35
macer1From oneiric, there is no ia32-libs, I think you just install it by apt-get install libwhatever:i386 :D17:35
marquee_what do you suggest?17:35
marquee_macer1, everytime I try to do that, it says wrong version (i386, system: amd6417:36
marquee_or somethign along those lines17:36
jmichaelxmarquee_: i would no know for sure.... there is gyachi (whether or not it is still being maintained, i don't know)... it could also be that empathy can do yahoo video chat, but i'm not sure17:36
macer1marquee_,  that works in oneiric only17:36
marquee_whats oneiric?17:37
macer1!11.1017:37
ubottuUbuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu.  Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+117:37
macer1I only say for future, there will no be ia32-libs in 11.10 ;)17:37
marquee_ohhhhh the one coming out in a few weeks?17:37
marquee_so definitely get the 64bit version...(well, sounds like they leave no choice in the matter lol)17:38
macer1marass, yes17:38
macer1yes and yes17:38
marquee_k will do17:38
marquee_thanks for all the info guys, i'm gonna get it17:39
marquee_btw, I tried running yahoo messenger in wine as well17:39
marquee_that lead to epic fail X.X17:39
marquee_for my messenger needs, I've been stuck using skype17:39
marquee_since video chat works fine in kopete for skype17:39
marquee_but it would've been nice to get a working y-messenger17:39
marquee_l8erz :)17:39
jmichaelxmarquee_: you should look into gyachi... it is not in the repos, but if you check the forums, you will likely be able to find a working .deb for it17:40
marquee_cool I'll do that jmichaelx17:40
jmichaelxmarquee_: it is the closest thing to yahoo messenger that exists for linux17:40
marquee_alright, will do17:40
BluesKaj!multiarch17:40
marquee_I'll be back if I run into anymore questions :P17:40
OerHekschromium has a plugin voor yahoo messenger, not an option ?17:40

jmichaelxchatrooms*17:41

BlaXpiritThere are many new projects around KDE desktop, but they are all moving so slowly: Muon, Telepathy, rekonq... I'm looking forward to using those, but they don't have enough functions (and I don't even know how to install Telepathy and what it actually is). Any news?17:43
BluesKajthose of you interested in multiarch (multi architecture support ) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec17:44
BlaXpiritfor example, I get some weird error in Muon when refreshing, rekonq doesn't have pinned tabs and extension support (which has been promised over a year ago)17:45

chirag_d_gr8no it asked for nothing just handed me control for next command for execution18:01
BlaXpiritstrange18:01
chirag_d_gr8life is not easy in linux :)18:02
BlaXpiritchirag_d_gr8: OK, i just read that the fix i found also applies to some Radeon stuff18:02

chirag_d_gr8ok...18:02
BlaXpiritif you encounter any problems, drop me a message.18:03

BlaXpirityou haven't done the thin i sent a link to, have you?18:07
BlaXpiritit takes some time o_o18:07
BlaXpiritread carefully18:07
chirag_d_gr8from the website u asked me to read, i followed a command18:07
BlaXpiritjust look at my answer at the very bottom18:08
chirag_d_gr8i set my brightness from 10 to 5 but i notice no change....18:08
chirag_d_gr8ok i do again18:08
BlaXpiritit starts with "1. Install linux-kamal-mjgbacklight..."18:08
maco2kamal? you sure it's not kernel?18:09
BlaXpiritdunno, it seems like some patch to kernel18:09
BlaXpiritworked well for me.18:09
chirag_d_gr8i followed advice of the guy  posted just above that postwho18:09
BlaXpiritno, no, it's not good. didn't work for me as well18:09
BlaXpiritlook at my own answer.. with 2 upvotes18:10
chirag_d_gr8another thing before i have to leave and go to sleep, my core temperature is 62 celsius but in windows it is 50 celsius. is this normal?18:11
BlaXpiriti don't think so :(18:12
BlaXpiriti've got 48 or so18:12
chirag_d_gr8will kubuntu burn my devices with 10 degree higher?18:12
BlaXpiritstupid hp >_>18:12
chirag_d_gr8:(18:12
chirag_d_gr8so what is recommended for me? should i discontinue kubuntu to save my hardware?18:13
BlaXpirithey people, why don't you help this guy? i'm not really sure about this temperature stuff, got my own laptop just some weeks ago18:13
macer1Windows is overheating my hardware until it shuts down. No problem with ubuntu :D18:13
BlaXpiritwell, i dunno. don't put the laptop on your lap......................18:14
BlaXpiritsounds weird, huh18:14
chirag_d_gr8i do not care about my lap :D, i care to make my laptop last longer18:14
BlaXpiritno, no. lap blocks heat coming out of the laptop.18:15
chirag_d_gr8ventilators are in the air so no problem18:15
chirag_d_gr8moreover, even if i try to adjust brightness graphically, my brightness bar jumps back to maximum18:16
chirag_d_gr8is this linux os bug?18:16
BlaXpiritnot "bug"18:16
BlaXpiritjust stupid vendors not providing drivers for linux.18:16
chirag_d_gr8so is it possible to fix it?18:16
BlaXpirityes, possible, in the answer i wrote, and gave link to you.18:16
chirag_d_gr8those **** hp guys say they do not support linux :(18:17
chirag_d_gr8i check out that link18:17
BlaXpiritwell, i had lenovo, didnt work as well. new hardware, u know..18:17
BlaXpiritdoesn't overheat though.18:17
chirag_d_gr8i bought this laptop to use linux only and my hard luck :(. so i have to bear with it or use other distros?18:18
BlaXpiriti told u, the brightness can be fixed. about overheating, look somewhere around the internet, and maybe ask somewhere else.18:18
chirag_d_gr8ok thx by the way18:18
DaemonFCOneiric broke the crap out of that indicator thingy :/18:22

genii-aroundand1bm: Are you using the md5sums from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes to compare against?18:49
OerHeksdid you use right numer ? > d3096f32c260baa9a2d474980aa6b851 *kubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso  look at the 3 in 10.04.318:51
and1bmI get 12194d48847543717d3b6856d8fb2914 but it should be d3096f32c260baa9a2d474980aa6b85118:51

and1bmmd5sum kubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso18:52
OerHekshow did you download it, dl or torrent ?18:54
and1bmoh sorry I found the error: I checked the old iso, the new one kubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.1 is fine. sorry!18:54
OerHeksoh oke, continue18:55
and1bmthe first one must have been spoiled (downloaded with firefox) but the second one (wget) is fine. sorry for the noise.18:57

BarkingFishDoes anyone know how I turn off those annoying little popup thingies which appear when I hover on something open in my Task manager?23:34
BarkingFishI've searched for everything obvious, and can't seem to find them anywhere, tooltips or whatever they're called.  I want them off because they keep sticking open - I hover on something, the popup appears, but doesn't go away when I move my mouse off.23:35
GTRsdkBarkingFish: can you kill the process or remove the applet?23:35
BarkingFishNo.23:36
BarkingFishThey're windows from apps which I have open GTRsdk - I don't need the popups telling me what they are, I know what I opened :)23:36
