[02:36] <Guest30234> hello
[02:37] <Guest30234> I am trying to set up an older laptop with Kubuntu to be used by my kids and need help setting up the wireless card
[02:38] <Guest30234> Can anyone help?
[02:42] <Guest30234> anyone?
[02:48] <mark_> What is a good FTP client for Kubuntu?
[02:50] <Daskreech> Guest30234: What's the issue?
[02:51] <Daskreech> mark_: Whats needed for it to be good?
[02:52] <mark_> Trying to connect to my new Redstonehost server through FTP. I haven't used FTP in quite awhile and the last time I did I used  fireftp. I was hoping for one that is a program and not a plug-in though.
[03:01] <Daskreech> mark_: have you tried dolphin?
[03:02] <mark_> Daskreech: Dolphin works as an FTP client?
[03:02] <Daskreech> All KDE apps
[03:02] <Daskreech> All kde apps do
[03:02] <Daskreech> Dolphin just happens to be a file manager as well :)
[03:03] <Daskreech> Press F3 to split your windows
[03:03] <Daskreech> then press ctrl+l to get the Address bar at the top
[03:03] <Daskreech> type in ftp://username@servername
[03:03] <Daskreech> should ask you for the password then there you go
[03:03] <Daskreech> Browse around it like it was a folder on your computer
[03:04] <mark_> Trying that now
[03:05] <mark_> it works :D
[03:05] <mark_> thanks!

[11:50] <avihay> pvivek: try getting a software called pulse volume control, and mess with the input devices. worked for me
[11:51] <avihay> Does pulse audio have any concept of a pc-speaker?

[14:06] <BluesKaj> hi folks
[14:08] <Gantrus> as in the cock went up the girls arsehole
[14:12] <BluesKaj> Gantrus, enough !
[14:12] <BluesKaj> !language
[14:13] <Gantrus> really?
[14:14] <BluesKaj> yes, absolutely...do you have a kubuntu question ?
[14:17] <Gantrus> yes..do you want me to finger your arsehole??
[14:17] <ikonia> bye
[14:17] <ikonia> BluesKaj: appreciate the effort
[14:19] <OerHeks> how do i disable recently used doc in KDE menu, all i can find is set permissions to non for .recently-used
[14:19] <BluesKaj> ikonia, unfortunately even idiots like him use linux
[16:02] <rwrw> how do I make kubuntu's desktop like ubuntus?
[16:03] <OerHeks> you like the unity-sidebar, rwrw ? sorry, not available in Kubuntu
[16:03] <rwrw> no not the unity crap
[16:04] <rwrw> instead of having the floating desktop folder
[16:04] <rwrw> have the folder right on the desktop
[16:05] <rwrw> I want folders and files right on the desktop
[16:07] <rwrw> here is what i want: http://img24.exs.cx/img24/5060/desktop200503242rg.png
[16:08] <rwrw> here is the desktop by default: http://files.cyberciti.biz/uploads/tips/2008/10/kubuntu-810-desktop-screen.png
[16:08] <rwrw> just the desktop icons and files, not the bottom panel
[16:08] <OerHeks> i see, you can change activity's to dektop folder , in the upper right corner
[16:09] <rwrw> ok thx, I missed the button in the upper right hand corner
[16:09] <OerHeks> have fun :-)
[16:34] <george> so, I've installed this ppa https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/pre-proposed because of nattey power regression bug. It just want to know if this changes anything on BIOS or the like, because know my laptop runs hotter than before
[16:34] <george> I"ve already purge the ppa and the kernel, but even using older kernel version, cpu temp is + 60ºC, before installing it, it was around 45-8 ºC
[16:35] <george> anyone?
[16:36] <well_laid_lawn> it wouldn't edit the bios
[16:36] <OerHeks> the regression in the kernel occures in 3.+
[16:38] <george> OerHeks: Hello. I didn't touch anything, just installed this ppa which changed kernel 2.6.38-11.26 to 2.6.38-11.51 (lot of numbers, pre-proposed). I've already purged the kernel and the ppa, but cpu temp didn't dropped to previous levels
[16:39] <OerHeks> hmm my current kernel is 2.6.38-11-generic #50
[16:45] <user_> does anyone else have problems with adjusting screen brightness in kubuntu 11.04?
[16:46] <meddy> hi, who know how to run minecraft on ubuntu. It crash:/ , I have got Radeon graphic card...
[16:50] <george> OerHeks: what I don't get is why the cpu temp is so high. It wasn't that high before. Even now, I'm using kernel 2.6.36 , it's still higher than before
[16:51] <OerHeks> did you try to setup lmsensors again ?
[16:56] <u19809> hi all, i try to make vlc use the phonon backend but it does not seem to want to. how can I do that ?
[16:59] <billytwowilly> Can anyone tell me how to check if my motherboard supports hard drive bigger than 2 TB? I've been looking in google iwth litte success...
[17:00] <well_laid_lawn> if it uses sata you'll be fine
[17:03] <OerHeks> billytwowilly, go to the site of the manufacturor, and see the technical manual ?
[17:04] <billytwowilly> it's sata.
[17:04] <billytwowilly> OerHeks: I emailed asus 2 days ago, no response yet. I guess I'll just keep waiting.
[17:06] <george> OerHeks: how do I setup lmsensors again?
[17:06] <OerHeks> sensors-detect
[17:06] <george> OerHeks: I didn't uninstall the package
[17:08] <george> ok, done that right know. Do I have to reboot?
[17:09] <OerHeks> no, i guess not.
[17:10] <well_laid_lawn> might have to modprobe
[17:11] <george> well_laid_lawn:and how do i do that? already run sensors-detect.
[17:11] <well_laid_lawn> it should have mentioned the module needed
[17:14] <george> ?
[17:14] <well_laid_lawn> in the sensors-detect output
[17:15] <well_laid_lawn> I haven't run it in a while and am working from memory
[17:17] <melodie> Hey, I'm having a problem with my setting up my HDMI cable from my compupter to my tv. Dose anyone know if this a a video card problem, or is it becuase my computer runs of linux...or what?
[17:19] <well_laid_lawn> with so little to go on I would guess it's a pebcak issue
[17:20] <BluesKaj> melodie, which graphics card ?
[17:21] <melodie> BluesKaj: I don't quite know how to find that out. I'm basacly clueless
[17:22] <BluesKaj> melodie, open a terminal and do , sudo lshw -C video
[17:24] <melodie> http://pastebin.com/8r9Lv6EJ
[17:24] <melodie> Thats the pastebin of what it says
[17:25] <melodie> Would a vga cable be better?
[17:26] <melodie> since I don't have a great hd...
[17:27] <BluesKaj> vga is video only , and depending on the tv's resolution capability and connections , hdmi is much better
[17:28] <melodie> Do it is the graphic card that isn't good enough for the HDMI cable?
[17:30] <BluesKaj> melodie, what connections do you have on your tv and your pc  , are there hdmi connectors on both?
[17:31] <melodie> Yes, on both the tv and the computer. The computer only has one HDMI connection though, while the tv has 2
[17:32] <BluesKaj> melodie, is the hdmi cable conneceted ? and do you have ati ctalyst installed ?
[17:32] <BluesKaj> err catalyst
[17:33] <melodie> Yes, the HDMI cable is connected. But Idk what the..umm catalyst is?
[17:33] <melodie> (Connected to both the tv and the computer.)
[17:33] <BluesKaj> ati catalyst is a GUI for controlling your graphics card
[17:34] <melodie> do you have link to the download or something
[17:34] <u19809> does anybody know how I can install the qt 32bit libs on a 64bit system using kubuntu packages ?
[17:35] <BluesKaj> u19809, make sure you have ia32 installed
[17:36] <u19809> I have but I am seem to be missing some plugins (mysql driver)
[17:36] <BluesKaj> melodie, have you set the tv to the hdmi input connected to your pc ?
[17:37] <BluesKaj> u19809, running a server/database ?
[17:37] <u19809> no regular natty desktop.
[17:37] <u19809> on a laptop
[17:38] <u19809> In fact I have the libs on my desktop system but i cannot remember how I did install them ... if i didn't just copy them over that is
[17:39] <melodie> BluesKaj: Yes, i have the "Catalyst Control Center for the ATI graphics Accelerators" Downloaded. And yes, it is on the correct input channel that my hdmi input is on.
[17:41] <melodie> BluesKaj: I'm guessing since I already seem to have everything hooked up right and stuff that my graphics card just isn't the greatest.
[17:43] <BluesKaj> melodie, no \
[17:44] <BluesKaj> it's a good card , it probly needs the right driver  or settings
[17:44] <melodie> BluesKaj: Then do you know how I can fix that?
[17:45] <BluesKaj> look in the catalyst settings for hdmi graphical output or some such
[17:50] <melodie> For the settings it will only let me chose single display desktop on the display manager. I'm signed in as adminastrative  but I still don't know how to change that setting...
[17:54] <BluesKaj> melodie, is the catalyst showing the correct card model and resolution ?
[17:57] <melodie> 1280 * 1024 is the resolution and it is showing the correct card model...
[17:59] <BluesKaj> melodie, what kind od tv ? flatscreen-widescreen or ?
[17:59] <melodie> it is a VIZIO 19 by 19 inches
[18:01] <BluesKaj> ok , so it's a pc-monitor type ...vga will work well...I thought it was a large flatscreen 16x9 aspect ratio tv
[18:02] <BluesKaj> due to the hdmi connections
[18:03] <BluesKaj> those aren't hdmi melodie , those dvi i believe
[18:03] <BluesKaj> are
[18:06] <melodie> It has both a HDMI port and a vga port in the back
[18:06] <BluesKaj> http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-4000/ati-radeon-hd-4200/pages/ati-radeon-hd-4200-specificatications.aspx
[18:07] <melodie> along with the standard deffinition plugs
[18:07] <BluesKaj> melodie, but your card specs say DVI
[18:09] <BluesKaj> DVI looks a bit like VGA , but witj more pins and the cables usually have white connectors , VGA are blue
[18:09] <melodie> So I need to get DVI to HDMI since I have a DVI port in the back, or should I just get a VGA and use that. I mean, not having sound is something I think I can work my way around
[18:10] <BluesKaj> does the Vizio have built ib speakers ?
[18:10] <BluesKaj> in
[18:11] <melodie> Yep.
[18:11] <BluesKaj> 19x19 inches is an odd size
[18:12] <melodie> I know, its pretty small... Its my step brothers, dosnt matter though. I just need to get this working.
[18:13] <BluesKaj> well then obviously it connects both audio and videom thru the vga
[18:13] <melodie> I thought VGA only did video
[18:14] <BluesKaj> is there an audio plugin on the monitor ?
[18:15] <melodie> There are the normal red and white ones, but not on the RGB(VGA) input channel, no.
[18:19] <BluesKaj> melodie, did the monitor come with cables , if it did , use those... i have to go ...BBL
[18:45] <joeingh> hello i installed the latest kubuntu with wubi and now when i boot it it displays a message about my keyboard layout then its stuck with the blue start screen, any idea what could be the issue?
[19:00] <joeingh> thx you guys for your understanding and help
[19:00] <joeingh> lol
[21:25] <g0rs> !weather 47274
[21:30] <skreech_> g0rs: What?
[21:31] <g0rs> skreech_ : is there a weatherbot?
[21:45] <Daskreech> g0rs: In here?
[21:45] <Daskreech> No. Perhaps one of the offtopic
[21:45] <g0rs> Daskreech: yes, a weather bot .I was checking the temperature at various locations
[21:46] <Daskreech> Not here I think.
[21:46] <Daskreech> Hmm wonder if that's in Krunner
[21:50] <g0rs> Daskreech: there are a few channels which also have a weather bot
[21:50] <g0rs> Daskreech: I'm not sure if they have it on freenode
[21:56] <Daskreech> g0rs: Yes there are a number on freenode as well. Just this is a support channel so we have an Admin bot to ban people being obnoxious and a support bot to help people (help people) but no weather bot
[21:57] <Daskreech> g0rs: No Krunner plasmoid but that might be cool to build
[22:13] <phoenix_firebrd> Dolhin hangs when i change the view to detail while browsing a folder that  contains 6200 image files(jpg), total size of the images is  about 130 mb.  I am using kubuntu 11.10, is this a general issue or should i use ubuntu+1
[22:16] <phoenix_firebrd> *Dolphin
[22:19] <TheEvilPhoenix> phoenix_firebrd:  you shouldn't use ubuntu+1
[22:19] <TheEvilPhoenix> at least not until its released as stable
[22:19] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: what?
[22:19] <TheEvilPhoenix> "I am using kubuntu 11.10, is this a general issue or should i use ubuntu+1"  <---
[22:20] <TheEvilPhoenix> 11.10 != stable
[22:20] <TheEvilPhoenix> having said that
[22:20] <TheEvilPhoenix> #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 support
[22:20] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: oh, till now i thought someone using a beta version should use ubuntu+1
[22:20] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: so can you help me?
[22:20] <TheEvilPhoenix> all 11.10 people need to use #ubuntu+1 for support
[22:20] <TheEvilPhoenix> *ALL*
[22:21]  * TheEvilPhoenix misread your previous statement
[22:21] <TheEvilPhoenix> having said that, preceed channel names with #
[22:21] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: sure
[22:21] <TheEvilPhoenix> no, i won't be able to help you, #ubuntu+1 might be able to
[22:21] <TheEvilPhoenix> emphasis on *MIGHT*
[22:21] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: ok , i will try my luck there
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> (and btw, i have that same "lag"/"hang" when i open a folder with >= 1500 files on EVERY desktop environment and EVERY filemanager)
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> and i'm on 11.04 :P
[22:22] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: In linux or even in Microsoft windows?
[22:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> even in WIndows, but WIndows sucks
[22:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> and you do NOT want me ranting about windows in here
[22:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> i've been quiet/banned in #ubuntu twice for that
[22:23] <TheEvilPhoenix> (granted i was drunk then, but still)
[22:23] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: he he he
[22:24] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: I entered this place after removing windows from my system
[22:24] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: thats 3 yrs back
[22:24] <TheEvilPhoenix> heh
[22:24] <TheEvilPhoenix> io
[22:24] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: In 11.04 Dolphin can even load the folder fully, may its because of my 1 gb RAM
[22:25] <TheEvilPhoenix> i've been using Ubuntu (GNOME) since 9.04
[22:25] <TheEvilPhoenix> i just recently started using KDE
[22:25] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: nice
[22:27] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: What amount of RAM do you have?
[22:27] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: are you there?
[22:29] <TheEvilPhoenix> phoenix_firebrd:  this system, or all my systems?
[22:29]  * TheEvilPhoenix has numerous systems
[22:29] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: The one you used to browse those 1500 files
[22:30] <TheEvilPhoenix> phoenix_firebrd:  4GB RAM, DDR3, 3.3GHz quad core desktop
[22:31] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: Then the problem should be dolphin
[22:31] <phoenix_firebrd> There is no error message displayed in  konsole and even strace gives me nothing
[22:34] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: i am going to try Konqueror
[22:35] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: It also hangs
[22:36] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: Do you know any other good file manager?
[22:45] <TheEvilPhoenix> phoenix_firebrd:  no, but what I found was after I cloned the thing to a 7200 RPM SATA drive, it took less hang time
[22:45] <TheEvilPhoenix> i think it has something to do with indexing the files  first
[22:45] <TheEvilPhoenix> and then loading the info into the filemanager
[22:46] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: Mine also sata 7200 rpm
[22:46] <TheEvilPhoenix> (note that running 'ls' in terminal and timing the output times even shows a relative difference)
[22:47] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: let me check mine
[22:47]  * TheEvilPhoenix unfortunately has also tested a hardware RAID5 system with the same general setup
[22:48] <TheEvilPhoenix> and the gui filemanagers took time to work too
[22:48] <TheEvilPhoenix> of course the CLI 'ls' took only a few milliseconds on the RAID5, but meh
[22:49] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: one min
[22:53] <phoenix_firebrd> trying krusade
[22:53] <phoenix_firebrd> TheEvilPhoenix: trying krusade
[22:59] <tonywade> what makes kubuntu ant different to ubuntu?
[23:00] <tonywade> hello?
[23:01] <tonywade> ?
[23:01] <tonywade> hellllooooo
[23:02] <g0rs> tonywade: kubuntu runs on kde and ubuntu is on gnome . Ubuntu is the standalone os , there are several desktop environments on it.
[23:04] <tonywade> is there any difference to someone like me who does not know what u are on about?
[23:04] <g0rs> tonywade: well the difference for you is the userinterface, the gui with which you use the OS .
[23:05] <g0rs> tonywade: its the biggest difference for you.
[23:05] <tonywade> ok well i have ubuntu how can i try it out?
[23:05] <g0rs> tonywade: ifyou are a beginnier, its better to go with kde or else gnome ( if you prefer simplicity)
[23:06] <g0rs> tonywade: ubuntu has gnome  it runs out of box without any configuration like kubuntu.
[23:07] <g0rs> tonywade: burn an iso file and install it on your computer
[23:07] <tonywade> burn that sounds dangerous
[23:08] <g0rs> tonywade: compile an iso file onto a cd or dvd disk and install your os by booting from the cd
[23:08] <g0rs> tonywade: there are tutorials on the web which will walk youthrough the installation process.
[23:09] <tonywade> ok where?
[23:09] <phoenix_firebrd> ha ha ha
[23:10] <tonywade> whats so funny?
[23:10] <phoenix_firebrd> tonywade: what did you think when g0rs said to burn
[23:11] <tonywade> i was only messing (sorry g0rs)
[23:11] <phoenix_firebrd> tonywade: :)
[23:11] <g0rs> tonywade: :)
[23:16] <tonywade> how do i wubi to install kubuntu?
[23:19] <tonywade> hello

[23:40] <stuq> is there some trick to getting the filter panel in dolphin to un-grey?
[23:41] <stuq> running kde 4.7.1
[23:44] <skierpage> I wanted to search for some text in Kubuntu 11.04. I found `strigiclient`, ran it, it showed "-1 documents indexed", I clicked some button to index, then my disk ground away until X or kdm segfaulted and KDE restarted :-(
[23:45] <skierpage> Is strigiclient the wrong thing to run?
[23:45] <skierpage> Also,  I have a ~/.strigi with 464MB in ~/.strigi/clucene, but it hasn't updated since 2010-08-09, should I delete it?
[23:59] <skierpage> Is there any guide at all to finding stuff with Kubuntu 11.04?
