g0rsDaskreech: you here?00:24
Daskreechg0rs: yes00:24
skierpage(Kubuntu 11.04 is KDE 4.6.5)00:24
g0rsDaskreech: would you be interested to talk about working of  ubuntu or linux os  like OS layers , interfaces if you are familiar with that topic?00:25
Daskreechskierpage: hi00:26
DaskreechWhat are you looking for?00:26
Daskreechg0rs: sure what would you like to know00:26
g0rsDaskreech: I'm looking for design of linux os and maybe how ubuntu is meshed with it00:26
DaskreechLinux OS is the same setup as UNIX OS so anything pertaining to that will be applicable00:27
skierpageDaskreech, as I said I'm searching for some text (in files in a directory). `strigiclient` seems messed up.00:27
Daskreechskierpage: You can do that in dolphin or you can use grep from the command line00:28
g0rsDaskreech: it may not be an expert discussion and an overview might be okay00:28
DaskreechYour choice based on ease of use or speed00:28
g0rsDaskreech: for some reason my wlan router is not visible in gnome wlan client00:28
g0rsDaskreech: the same wlan is visible on kde00:28
skierpageYup, Good news, Dolphin's Find [Content] [From here] does what I want.  But I normally don't use Dolphin.00:29
skierpageIs `strigiclient` supposed to work?  I've been running kubuntu for a few years, maybe it and this ~/.strigi with old clucene is just cruft.00:30
skierpageDaskreech, yup, I know and love `grep -ri sometext`, but it's kinda slow for 293 MB of documents.00:30
Daskreechg0rs: ok ask away00:31
g0rsDaskreech: i have to figure out where to begin :)00:31
Daskreechskierpage: Umm I think that strigiclient is intended to be used by programs mostly00:32
mika_hi, is there any problem with kubuntu? I used it few hours ago without problem, now I start it again and everything seems so slow, konsole doesn't open, firefox neither, and so other apps...00:32
Daskreechg0rs: What are you trying to find out?00:33
mika_also kickstart doesn't open...00:33
Daskreechskierpage: at somepoint I think that the dolphin interface should use that if it's on and kfind if it's not00:33
g0rsDaskreech: can you tellme any reason why my wlan is not visible in gnome but only in kde ?00:33
Daskreech might just be using Kfind now depending on which version of KDE you are running00:33
g0rsDaskreech: there are other wlans which are visible in gnome00:34
Daskreechmika_: Kickstart?00:34
Daskreechg0rs: networkmanager is incompatible?00:34
mika_Daskreech: yeah, the kde menu00:34
g0rsDaskreech: network manager seems fine. It did work with a previous installation of gnome.00:34
DaskreechAh right. Do you have the taskbar and panel mika_?00:34
mika_Daskreech: yes, default config00:35
Daskreechg0rs: Yes Gnome upgraded it's dependency on NetworkManager to 0.9 I think and NM 0.9 is API incompatible with 0.8 so you may have one DE looking for a NM that the other can't use00:35
Daskreechmika_: and alt+F1 doesn't work?00:35
g0rsDaskreech: should I install another wlan client like wpa or similar?00:37
DaskreechI'd just say Ignore GNOME :-D00:37
g0rsDaskreech: Gnome is really good :)00:37
g0rsDaskreech: are you more of a kde fan?00:37
skierpageDaskreech, good points, thanks! kfind doesn't seem to use strigi, talks about Unix slocate. There's a `deepfind` command-line for Nepomuk/strigi, I'm trying that.00:38
DaskreechI'm not sure what's going on with gnome though. If it's using the same backend then perhaps ask in #ubuntu if there is a problem or regression that is known00:38
mika_Daskreech: any idea? it doesn't open anything :(00:38
Daskreechskierpage: kfind is about as old as KDE2 so it shouldn't00:38
g0rsDaskreech: Thanks for the hint00:38
* skierpage Oh nooes, strigiclient started up, about to kill my computer 8-/00:38
* skierpage I mean strigidaemon, 52% CPU.00:39
Daskreechskierpage: :)00:40
DaskreechYeah I just turn it on before bed and let it chew through stuff00:41
skierpageDaskreech, hold on, are you saying I should run strigidaemon? I have `/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukstrigiservice` in process list, surely KDE will run it for me.00:50
Daskreechskierpage: no just saying I'd let them do night runs to annoy me less while i was busy dreaming00:50

g0rsDaskreech: yes01:14

g0rsDaskreech: if you are intersted , we can talk about os internals ( only for curiosity) some other time.01:14
DaskreechSure.01:14
g0rsThanks01:15
skierpageThere's a `deepgrep` command-line tool that seems to do fulltext searches, though it mostly reports internal errors ;-)01:33
Daskreechskierpage: pretty sure grep does text seraches01:35
Daskreechsearches01:35
skierpageSomeone ran into this exact problem with strigiclient/Nepomuk conflicts, http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=89491 ... wait, that was me! Aha ha ha!01:35
Daskreechskierpage: ah wait deepgrep uses strigi data. Ah lovely01:36
Daskreechso you can get data from compressed files01:36
well_laid_lawngrep -iRn stuff dir works fine for me01:36
skierpageDaskreech / well_laid_lawn, exactly.  KDE is indexing stuff for me, so I shouldn't have to grind through my disk when I have a big full-text index already.01:37
Daskreechskierpage: I agree. Kinda like Locate except for data01:37

AmElderHello, newly installed Kubuntu-full along with my Gnome desktop, to try it out. One problem: the window manager isn't automatically handling the file system. Instead all directories try to open in Comix? How do I fix this?01:54
DaskreechAmElder: The window manager manages the windows not the files.01:55
AmElderright...01:55
AmElderMaybe I'm using the wrong words01:56
AmElderWhen I try to open a directory, it tries to open in a graphics application, not Dolphin or whatever the window manager is01:56
g0rsAmElder: what is comix?01:56
AmElderIt's a .cbr viewer01:56
g0rsAmElder: okay, it always opened in dolphin for me01:57
well_laid_lawnright click a dir and select "open with"01:57
AmElderThat's the behaviour I'd expect01:57
g0rsAmElder: probably you'd have to change assoications somewhere01:57
g0rsAmElder: not sure what could be reason. You might try Daskreech01:58
DaskreechAmElder: ah change the filetype then01:59
AmElderDaskreech, can you expand on that?01:59
DaskreechAmElder: alt+f2 -> associations01:59
AmElderThank you, I'll try that01:59
DaskreechYou are looking for inode -> Directory01:59
DaskreechMakesure that dolphin (or konqueror, krusader etc) is on top02:00
AmElderEasy as02:00
AmElderThat looks much more like what I was expecting, thanks Daskreech02:01
DaskreechAmElder: was Comix on that list?02:01
AmElderGoodness knows why02:01
AmElderYes, Comix was the first entry02:01
DaskreechAmElder: Yep that easy :)02:13

Doc_Savage96g'morn, ya'll15:09
AlantasGreetings and salutations.15:10
Doc_Savage96i'm having issues, and i'm unsure as to where they are oriented--streaming issues, and/or maybe flash-like issues...15:16
simon_how to install google chrome?15:17
Doc_Savage96my webpages keep freezing, in FF and Konqueror, when i access pages with embedded video, and web-chats, like youtube (embed vid), and livestream (embed vid and web0chat)15:17
Doc_Savage96if chrome is my answer, then i won't be fixing the problem...15:17
Doc_Savage96just my personal pref--and prolly ashows that these issues are intentional to steer users *to* chrome...imo...15:18
Doc_Savage96or intentionally non-fixed, anyway...15:18
AlantasThere Is No Chrome Conspiracy.15:18
Doc_Savage96any ideas?...15:18
simon_hello!15:19
simon_help, how to install google chrome?15:19
simon_I couldn't find the package15:19
Doc_Savage96um--sure there isn't...lol...google's stated intent is to control *all* information in the world,universe--that *used* to be in their policy info15:19
Doc_Savage96*and* they have embedded INTEL in their HQ--NSA, DARPA, etc15:20
Doc_Savage96anyway--not here to talk about that...15:20
Doc_Savage96where can i go to get some direction/guidance on this issue, is my main question?...15:20
Alantassimon_: Chromium is basically the same thing, minus Google branding and a couple other things.15:21
Doc_Savage96hmmmm--chromium, eh?...what are the other diffs?15:22
AlantasLike Google Mind Controller or whatever Doc_Savage96 needs it to have.15:22
Doc_Savage96lol, Alantas...15:22
simon_Alantas, how to install it?15:22
AlantasThere's some kind of tracking thing that's in Chrome but not Chromium.15:22
Alantassimon_: Same as any other package, I would imagine.15:23
Doc_Savage96is chromium in the repositories?15:23
Doc_Savage96and, i'm looking, now15:23
AlantasI got it from Synaptic, so I would imagine so.15:23
simon_Alantas, now way, I have got an error15:24
simon_apt-get install Chromium15:24
simon_Reading package lists... Done15:24
simon_Building dependency tree15:24
simon_Reading state information... Done15:24
simon_E: Unable to locate package Chromium15:24
FloodBotK1simon_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.15:24
AlantasProbably something like "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" in a terminal (such as Konsole) will do it.15:24
simon_http://paste.ubuntu.com/701078/15:25
Alantas*Tries tab-completion* The executable is "chromium-browser". Try typing just that into the console. It should say something to the effect of: "chromium-browser is not installed, to install it, type: sudo apt-get install somethingorother". Do so.15:25
Doc_Savage96that is the package name -- chromium-browser15:25
simon_Alantas, neither works :(15:25
Alantas*Looks in Synaptic* Yeah, the package name is "chromium-browser". "apt-get install chromium-browser" should work.15:26
OerHeksbetter look in packagekit, in Kubuntu :-)15:27
AlantasIf it starts, but then hits you with a bunch of 404 errors or something, run "apt-get update", then try the install command again.15:27
simon_Alantas, I just installed kubuntu, maybe I should refresh this packages or something, I remeber I did something like that when I installed kubuntu for the first time15:29
Alantas"apt-get update" is probably what will do that.15:29
Alantas(Couldn't hurt to run it anyway.)15:30
simon_now is working15:30
simon_yeah15:30
Doc_Savage96wow--15:30
Doc_Savage96no issues *at all*...system is running, no freezes, or lock-up...*at all*...15:31
AlantasI've never had any troubles with Firefox in my install.15:32
Doc_Savage96and even fullscreen video really does fullscreen--in my other browsers, if i can get it, at all, it only blacks the screen, with the vid being same size as original embed sizing...15:32
AlantasIn fact I've found Firefox is a bit better when dealing with Flash videos other than Youtube, where they get sluggish and eat the CPU in Chromium but work well in Firefox.15:32
Doc_Savage96idk, Alantas--i've had issues for a while, now--15:32
Doc_Savage96my system, until very recent updates, had an issue running mid-temp to hot, too--15:33
Doc_Savage96that stopped, recently...15:33
Doc_Savage96however--i can pretty much bet it's *me* and my disorganized install practices...15:34
Doc_Savage96i'm learning--albeit, slowly...15:34
Doc_Savage96well--guess for now, i'll scrap FF and Konqueor, until i can RTFM up on this...15:34
Doc_Savage96thanks--i never would have tried chrmium if i hadn't tytped in here...  ; )15:35
Doc_Savage96btw, globalrev is *groing*...  ; )15:35
Doc_Savage96i won't mention it, again...15:35
Doc_Savage96except to say #occupywallst if interested in what's up with that...15:36

Daskreechstuq: Hmm?19:40
DaskreechWhich filter?19:40
stuqnever had it 'active', always greyed out...19:40
Daskreechstuq: Right which filter are you talking about?19:47
Snowhogstuq: ?? Dolphin > Tools > Show Filter Bar19:48
stuqDaskreech: I guess in the Dolphin View menu it's called search, brought up with the f12 key19:48
DaskreechSnowhog: I think he can find it. Just it's not working for him19:48
stuqsome of the dolphin devs were calling it the filter pane19:48
stuqSo, view.. panels... search19:49
Daskreechstuq: Can You look in settings -> Configure Shortcuts  and tell me what F12 is bound to you for you?19:50
Daskreechah right tehre19:50
DaskreechThere19:50
stuqif I hit f12, the search panel comes up, but it's always greyed out19:50

stuqand several thousand files19:57
stuqso the ability to check mark filters seemed ideal19:58
stuqDaskreech: and thanks for looking20:00
Daskreechstuq: Just to be clear this isn't really a filter as much as it is a search20:01
DaskreechCtrl+I is a filter20:01
stuqright, or maybe we could call it a 'search filter'20:01
Daskreechwhile far less flexible than that panel it's much faster20:01
stuqa way to narrow your searches down20:01

BluesKajjust installed new soundcard and it'set as default (Card0) , plays digital and mpeg audio fine , avi files wil play depending on the file that avi has it wrapped in , however no webcontent audio , or flash audio ...video in all codecs are fine . Also the alsa speaker test (speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav) is silent ....any ideas ?20:08
sk3ntIs it possible with KDE standard power management to inhibit suspend automatically?20:08
sk3ntI mean e.g. check if there is a backup process running and based on that info stop suspend process?20:10
sk3ntI though that I could use pm-utils hooks, what I do not find a example how to do it.20:10
DaskreechBluesKaj: Phonon?20:20
Daskreechsk3nt: You mean if a particular process is running switch power levels?20:20
BluesKajDaskreech, according to my research plash doesn't use phono , it supposedly uses alsa directly , but i'm not certain20:21

DaskreechDon't know that's a built in ability but it's certainly an easy script. Just make a cron job that runs one minute sooner than the powertime for suspend and have it check for the backup process. If it's there then use dbus to flip the power management to always on21:13
sk3ntOk, thanks - have to start to look at something like that.21:14
lengnome-games is missing a sound dependency becasue, I assume, the package maintainer things only people running gnome play gnome-games and the packages needed is part of a default ubuntu install.  I always install gnome-games in Kubuntu though, and never get sound unless I add the package that should be set as a dep, but isn't.  I can't remember what it is right now though.  Anyone know?21:20
szallen: prolly a better question to ask next door™; us KDE lovers usually don't know jack about Gnome ;)21:26
DaskreechWe know Jack21:26
Daskreechbut only though a Phono layer21:26
DaskreechPhonon21:26
* szal knows a few things about JACK ;)21:26
szalanyhoo, just for a heads-up..  if I want to install Grub to a different HDD than it is in now (HDD faulty; need to nuke it), all it takes is 'sudo os-prober' and 'sudo grub-install /dev/$insertDeviceNodeHere', right?21:27
Daskreechlen: Not sure but it's probably a gstreamer dep21:27
DaskreechThat's what most of Gnome Depends on for sound21:29
lenFunny, it's been this way for years, and has never been corrected.  Are KDE people really such QT purists that they will only play KDE games?  You think that if a llot of KDE people played gnome games the dependency issue would have ben noticed and corrected many years ago.  I've always preferred KDE, but love the Aisleriot Solitaire.  It has about a 130 or so Solitaire variations.21:32
Daskreechlen: you are talking about two different things21:32
DaskreechYou are troubled about a distro's dependency chain and contemplating the Purist tendency of fans of a DE21:33
Daskreechif the maintainer of Gnome-games doesn't think it should be a strong dependency for Ubuntu then it's not going to be fixed regardless of howmany people install it21:34
lenDaskreech, what do you mean?  I just saying that if you install Kubuntu, and add gnome-games, sound in the gnome games won't work even if you click the sound option, but if you install Ubuntu the sound works because the package needed is part of base Ubuntu install.21:34
Daskreechlen: Yes cause sound is considered important for accessibilty which is a hard dependency for the gnome-desktop21:35
DaskreechSound may not be considered a hard requirement to play any of the gnome games21:35
Daskreechif it's not considered a dependency then of course gnome-games will not depend on it. It may be a recommends21:36
lenI'm not sure why the maintainer would think that.  It's pretty confusing to be offered tha "sound"  (not greyed out), and be allowed to check, so it looks like it is activated, but not have it work.  The only way the package maintainer wouldn't care is if he just plain doesn't care about anything but gnome, and thinks everyone should be using it.21:37
Daskreechin which case you can do a sudo apt-get install gnomegames -o APT::Install-Suggests=true should get you sound21:38
Daskreechlen: could also be possible. I think I had the same issue with gnome screensavers21:38
Daskreechlen: you can ask in #ubuntu-devel if you want to know if it's intentional or you should file a bug21:39
Daskreechlen: Though I guess the games should also grey out if there is no way for them to play sound.21:43
Daskreechlen: I suppose this might be less of a problem with GNOME-OS21:43
BluesKajlooks to me like /etc/asound.conf is deprecated in favour of  ~/.asoundrc with alsa ... phonon crashes if one tries to have both21:46
lenThe way I used to find the missing package was to run "sol" from a terminal, after checking the sould option.  I'd see an error message in the terminal about missing such and such, figure out which package the missing file came from, and then install that package.  Now though, when I run sol from the terminal I don't get any error message to use to track which package to install.21:47
lenI haven't had to do this in a long time because I just keep upgrading.  I put Kubuntu on a new netpad though.  That's why I'm trying to remember what package it was.21:48
=== ddpbf_ is now known as Ddpbf
Joschlhi22:08
Daskreechlen: try the command I gave you earlier?22:16
=== mirco__ is now known as mirco
lenDaskreech, I tried it, and it didn't install anything extra, so maybe the dep issue really is an oversight, since the needed package obviously isn't even listed as a "recommended" package.22:19
FloodBotK1!netsplit22:20
ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit22:20
Daskreechlen: Ok ask in #ubuntu-devel what that package is and if it's really intended to be like that22:20
