It just want to know if this changes anything on BIOS or the like, because know my laptop runs hotter than before [16:34] 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] anyone? [16:36] it wouldn't edit the bios [16:36] the regression in the kernel occures in 3.+ [16:38] 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] hmm my current kernel is 2.6.38-11-generic #50 [16:45] does anyone else have problems with adjusting screen brightness in kubuntu 11.04? [16:46] hi, who know how to run minecraft on ubuntu. It crash:/ , I have got Radeon graphic card... [16:50] 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] did you try to setup lmsensors again ? [16:56] 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] 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] if it uses sata you'll be fine [17:03] billytwowilly, go to the site of the manufacturor, and see the technical manual ? [17:04] it's sata. [17:04] OerHeks: I emailed asus 2 days ago, no response yet. I guess I'll just keep waiting. [17:06] OerHeks: how do I setup lmsensors again? [17:06] sensors-detect [17:06] OerHeks: I didn't uninstall the package [17:08] ok, done that right know. Do I have to reboot? [17:09] no, i guess not. [17:10] might have to modprobe [17:11] well_laid_lawn:and how do i do that? already run sensors-detect. [17:11] it should have mentioned the module needed [17:14] ? [17:14] in the sensors-detect output [17:15] I haven't run it in a while and am working from memory [17:17] 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] with so little to go on I would guess it's a pebcak issue [17:20] melodie, which graphics card ? [17:21] BluesKaj: I don't quite know how to find that out. I'm basacly clueless [17:22] melodie, open a terminal and do , sudo lshw -C video [17:24] http://pastebin.com/8r9Lv6EJ [17:24] Thats the pastebin of what it says [17:25] Would a vga cable be better? [17:26] since I don't have a great hd... [17:27] vga is video only , and depending on the tv's resolution capability and connections , hdmi is much better [17:28] Do it is the graphic card that isn't good enough for the HDMI cable? [17:30] melodie, what connections do you have on your tv and your pc , are there hdmi connectors on both? [17:31] Yes, on both the tv and the computer. The computer only has one HDMI connection though, while the tv has 2 [17:32] melodie, is the hdmi cable conneceted ? and do you have ati ctalyst installed ? [17:32] err catalyst [17:33] Yes, the HDMI cable is connected. But Idk what the..umm catalyst is? [17:33] (Connected to both the tv and the computer.) [17:33] ati catalyst is a GUI for controlling your graphics card [17:34] do you have link to the download or something [17:34] does anybody know how I can install the qt 32bit libs on a 64bit system using kubuntu packages ? [17:35] u19809, make sure you have ia32 installed [17:36] I have but I am seem to be missing some plugins (mysql driver) [17:36] melodie, have you set the tv to the hdmi input connected to your pc ? [17:37] u19809, running a server/database ? [17:37] no regular natty desktop. [17:37] on a laptop [17:38] 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] 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] 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] melodie, no \ [17:44] it's a good card , it probly needs the right driver or settings [17:44] BluesKaj: Then do you know how I can fix that? [17:45] look in the catalyst settings for hdmi graphical output or some such [17:50] 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] melodie, is the catalyst showing the correct card model and resolution ? [17:57] 1280 * 1024 is the resolution and it is showing the correct card model... [17:59] melodie, what kind od tv ? flatscreen-widescreen or ? [17:59] it is a VIZIO 19 by 19 inches [18:01] 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] due to the hdmi connections [18:03] those aren't hdmi melodie , those dvi i believe [18:03] are [18:06] It has both a HDMI port and a vga port in the back [18:06] 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] along with the standard deffinition plugs [18:07] melodie, but your card specs say DVI [18:09] DVI looks a bit like VGA , but witj more pins and the cables usually have white connectors , VGA are blue [18:09] 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] does the Vizio have built ib speakers ? [18:10] in [18:11] Yep. [18:11] 19x19 inches is an odd size [18:12] I know, its pretty small... Its my step brothers, dosnt matter though. I just need to get this working. [18:13] well then obviously it connects both audio and videom thru the vga [18:13] I thought VGA only did video [18:14] is there an audio plugin on the monitor ? [18:15] There are the normal red and white ones, but not on the RGB(VGA) input channel, no. [18:19] melodie, did the monitor come with cables , if it did , use those... i have to go ...BBL [18:45] 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? === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [19:00] thx you guys for your understanding and help [19:00] lol [21:25] !weather 47274 [21:30] g0rs: What? === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [21:31] skreech_ : is there a weatherbot? [21:45] g0rs: In here? [21:45] No. Perhaps one of the offtopic [21:45] Daskreech: yes, a weather bot .I was checking the temperature at various locations [21:46] Not here I think. [21:46] Hmm wonder if that's in Krunner [21:50] Daskreech: there are a few channels which also have a weather bot [21:50] Daskreech: I'm not sure if they have it on freenode [21:56] 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] g0rs: No Krunner plasmoid but that might be cool to build [22:13] 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] *Dolphin [22:19] phoenix_firebrd: you shouldn't use ubuntu+1 [22:19] at least not until its released as stable [22:19] TheEvilPhoenix: what? [22:19] "I am using kubuntu 11.10, is this a general issue or should i use ubuntu+1" <--- [22:20] 11.10 != stable [22:20] having said that [22:20] #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 support [22:20] TheEvilPhoenix: oh, till now i thought someone using a beta version should use ubuntu+1 [22:20] TheEvilPhoenix: so can you help me? [22:20] all 11.10 people need to use #ubuntu+1 for support [22:20] *ALL* [22:21] * TheEvilPhoenix misread your previous statement [22:21] having said that, preceed channel names with # [22:21] TheEvilPhoenix: sure [22:21] no, i won't be able to help you, #ubuntu+1 might be able to [22:21] emphasis on *MIGHT* [22:21] TheEvilPhoenix: ok , i will try my luck there [22:22] (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] and i'm on 11.04 :P [22:22] TheEvilPhoenix: In linux or even in Microsoft windows? [22:23] even in WIndows, but WIndows sucks [22:23] and you do NOT want me ranting about windows in here [22:23] i've been quiet/banned in #ubuntu twice for that [22:23] (granted i was drunk then, but still) [22:23] TheEvilPhoenix: he he he [22:24] TheEvilPhoenix: I entered this place after removing windows from my system [22:24] TheEvilPhoenix: thats 3 yrs back [22:24] heh [22:24] io [22:24] TheEvilPhoenix: In 11.04 Dolphin can even load the folder fully, may its because of my 1 gb RAM [22:25] i've been using Ubuntu (GNOME) since 9.04 [22:25] i just recently started using KDE [22:25] TheEvilPhoenix: nice [22:27] TheEvilPhoenix: What amount of RAM do you have? [22:27] BluesKaj: are you there? [22:29] phoenix_firebrd: this system, or all my systems? [22:29] * TheEvilPhoenix has numerous systems [22:29] TheEvilPhoenix: The one you used to browse those 1500 files [22:30] phoenix_firebrd: 4GB RAM, DDR3, 3.3GHz quad core desktop [22:31] TheEvilPhoenix: Then the problem should be dolphin [22:31] There is no error message displayed in konsole and even strace gives me nothing [22:34] TheEvilPhoenix: i am going to try Konqueror [22:35] TheEvilPhoenix: It also hangs [22:36] TheEvilPhoenix: Do you know any other good file manager? === thor__ is now known as BarkingFish [22:45] 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] i think it has something to do with indexing the files first [22:45] and then loading the info into the filemanager [22:46] TheEvilPhoenix: Mine also sata 7200 rpm [22:46] (note that running 'ls' in terminal and timing the output times even shows a relative difference) [22:47] TheEvilPhoenix: let me check mine [22:47] * TheEvilPhoenix unfortunately has also tested a hardware RAID5 system with the same general setup [22:48] and the gui filemanagers took time to work too [22:48] of course the CLI 'ls' took only a few milliseconds on the RAID5, but meh [22:49] TheEvilPhoenix: one min [22:53] trying krusade [22:53] TheEvilPhoenix: trying krusade [22:59] what makes kubuntu ant different to ubuntu? [23:00] hello? [23:01] ? [23:01] hellllooooo [23:02] tonywade: kubuntu runs on kde and ubuntu is on gnome . Ubuntu is the standalone os , there are several desktop environments on it. [23:04] is there any difference to someone like me who does not know what u are on about? [23:04] tonywade: well the difference for you is the userinterface, the gui with which you use the OS . [23:05] tonywade: its the biggest difference for you. [23:05] ok well i have ubuntu how can i try it out? [23:05] tonywade: ifyou are a beginnier, its better to go with kde or else gnome ( if you prefer simplicity) [23:06] tonywade: ubuntu has gnome it runs out of box without any configuration like kubuntu. [23:07] tonywade: burn an iso file and install it on your computer [23:07] burn that sounds dangerous [23:08] tonywade: compile an iso file onto a cd or dvd disk and install your os by booting from the cd [23:08] tonywade: there are tutorials on the web which will walk youthrough the installation process. [23:09] ok where? [23:09] ha ha ha [23:10] whats so funny? [23:10] tonywade: what did you think when g0rs said to burn [23:11] i was only messing (sorry g0rs) [23:11] tonywade: :) [23:11] tonywade: :) [23:16] how do i wubi to install kubuntu? [23:19] hello [23:19] * szal looks up the verb 'wubi' in the dictionary [23:20] i have to go see ye later with more questions [23:25] wubi.exe needs wine [23:40] is there some trick to getting the filter panel in dolphin to un-grey? [23:41] running kde 4.7.1 [23:44] 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] Is strigiclient the wrong thing to run? [23:45] 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] Is there any guide at all to finding stuff with Kubuntu 11.04?
