docid | Daskreech: grabs input devices, emergency remounts devices as read only, synchs and boots, i know im missing some things there, i knew what each key did... a while ago | 00:03 |
Daskreech | :-) yes but none of those are intended to unfreeze the computer. They only stop corruption when the computer does an unexpetced reboot (which would be the B) | 00:04 |

skierpage | Anyone running 11.04, can you try `ls -l /etc/cups/mime.convs /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs`? I have both files, the one in /etc is from 2009, seems wrong? | 02:08 |
a4 | hello folks... I just installed kubuntu (switched from ubuntu) and for some reason kubuntu detects my wireless network but wont connect even though I'm sure i have the passphrase and settings correct (I have verified them on windows)... and I never had this issue with ubuntu | 03:46 |
a4 | any ideas? | 03:46 |
Daskreech | a4: What version of KDE? | 03:46 |
a4 | um the default 11.04 kubuntu version daskreech? | 03:47 |
Daskreech | Hmm ok | 03:50 |
Daskreech | trying to remember if that's NM 0.8 or NM 0.9 | 03:50 |
TheEvilPhoenix | network-manager is version 0.8.* in Ubuntu 11.04, just saying | 03:52 |
TheEvilPhoenix | and network-manager-kde is... um... | 03:53 |
TheEvilPhoenix | i *think* 0.9 | 03:53 |
TheEvilPhoenix | so i think its dependent on which they have installed | 03:53 |
a4 | kubuntu would have the same base drivers as ubuntu wouldnt it and if it can detect the network why cant it accept the proper settings | 03:55 |
a4 | i verify the settings and then the network icon shows that its configuring and it gets to about 75% then a window pops back up saying "secrets" for the network... with the pass phrase and settings | 03:57 |
a4 | and regardless if i click ok or retype the settings it does the same thing over and over | 03:57 |

agu_ | hi | 06:36 |
katsrc | hey are there any good blogs/sites to follow for kubuntu news? | 06:53 |
GirlyGirl | Problem on Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE SC 4.7.1 . Sometimes plasma crashes and when relaunched desktop effects seem to mess up the appearance of the Panels | 07:13 |
jussi | GirlyGirl: have you filed a bug on bugs.kde.org ? | 07:13 |
jussi | katsrc: planet kde is pretty good :) | 07:14 |
jussi | katsrc: ie. http://planetkde.org/ | 07:14 |
katsrc | jussi: thank you! | 07:14 |
Arnold | Hmm, KDE SC 4.7.1 in Kubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 seemed more stable for me. | 07:14 |
jussi | katsrc: thats a nice agregate of many blogs, so you should find what you want htere | 07:14 |
GirlyGirl | jussi: No I have only a launchpad account | 07:15 |
Arnold | The only crash I get mostly is at the end, when either shutting down or logging out. | 07:15 |
GirlyGirl | katsrc: Kubuntu.org itself | 07:15 |
jussi | GirlyGirl: I suggest you sign up for one there then, as its where kde bugs that arent packaging go. | 07:15 |
jussi | (at least for the ppa stuff you seem to be using) | 07:16 |
GirlyGirl | jussi: It mostly happens only with the Air theme | 07:17 |
katsrc | the best feature about Kubuntu 11.10: "Kubuntu introduces Kubuntu-Low-Fat-Settings: a collection of configuration options that reduce memory usage and even speed up KDE's loading time. This will help Kubuntu run better on older, lower-end systems. " | 07:52 |
=== af_ is now known as Guest89450 | ||
Arnold | katsrc, that's one interesting way to speed up KDE from Kubuntu alright. However, I stumbled upon another way, but I'm not sure how stable it is so far. | 07:54 |
Arnold | Which is running Kwin using GLES backend. | 07:54 |
Arnold | K Window Manager - "This package was compiled with support for OpenGL ES 2.0, before installing please make sure your video driver supports it. This package is part of the KDE base workspace module." | 07:55 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: I can confirm that | 07:56 |
katsrc | Arnold: nice, how would I go about setting that up? | 07:56 |
katsrc | compile kwin-gles? | 07:56 |
GirlyGirl | katsrc: In system settings desktop effects | 07:56 |
Arnold | Not in Kubuntu 11.10. You'll get a different package for it. | 07:56 |
Arnold | You need to install kde-window-manager-gles which replaces kde-window-manager. | 07:56 |
GirlyGirl | katsrc: But you need kde 4.7. and up | 07:56 |
katsrc | Arnold: i'm on 4.7.1 and 11.04 | 07:57 |
katsrc | just installing the package | 07:57 |
Arnold | katsrc, Kubuntu PPA might have that package aswell. You can give it a try. | 07:58 |
katsrc | Arnold: seems like backports had it | 07:58 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, that's the stock OpenGL 2.0. This one is OpenGL ES 2.0 | 07:59 |
Arnold | ES stands for Embedded Systems. | 08:00 |
katsrc | wasn't there a project for KDE-lite? | 08:01 |
katsrc | with a desktop having lightweight Qt apps also | 08:01 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: I see let me try that then... but how do I know if the card supports GL-ES | 08:02 |
Arnold | katsrc, I know a project with that specification, an Arch Linux user or so is working on that project. | 08:02 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, http://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products/ | 08:02 |
Arnold | Look for OpenGL ES 2.0 tab and search for your graphics card model. | 08:03 |
Arnold | And it will say if it's OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible, or just 1.1 | 08:03 |
katsrc | Arnold: that's awesome | 08:03 |
Arnold | If it's 1.1, then it won't work. Atleast according to the KDE developers. | 08:03 |
Arnold | [sidenote] Flash Player 11 was officially released [/sidenote] | 08:04 |
GirlyGirl | If 2.0 without the es works ? | 08:05 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, not quite. OpenGL 2.0 and OpenGL ES 2.0 are quite different. They have their own API and specifications. | 08:05 |
Arnold | Tell me what kind of graphics card you have, and I can look it up for you. | 08:05 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: I'm quite sure my Nvidia will do it not sure about intel though | 08:05 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, I see. In that case, you can tell me both of their model type, and we'll find it out soon enough :) | 08:06 |
GirlyGirl | ASUS Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT , Intel GMA 950 (27AE), and XFX Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT | 08:08 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, GeForce 8xxx and GeForce 9xxx are both qualified to support OpenGL ES 2.0 | 08:10 |
Arnold | And now for the Intel one. | 08:11 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: Ok thanks | 08:11 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, sorry. It's pretty much out of the question :/ | 08:13 |
katsrc | Arnold: it sure is snappy | 08:14 |
Arnold | katsrc, which settings have you tried so far? | 08:15 |
katsrc | Arnold: default | 08:17 |
katsrc | no shaders, direct rendering | 08:18 |
Arnold | katsrc, yeah, I really enjoy it being snappy and also uses way less memory for compositing, unlike some other compositors out there (Compiz, you rascal!) | 08:18 |
Arnold | Oh, by the way, here it is. The Quantum Project: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125088&p=1 | 08:19 |
Arnold | It is one KDE4/QT4 fork. Not sure if this is the one you mentioned earlier. | 08:19 |
katsrc | Arnold: it was the first one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125004 | 08:21 |
katsrc | Quantum Project looks like it's doing something entirely different | 08:21 |
katsrc | i don't know about javascript on my desktop? | 08:21 |
Arnold | katsrc, ah, yes. This Quantum Project was created to make a more 'lightweight' KDE installation, less bloated and whatnot. | 08:23 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: Intel GMA 950 fail http://paste.ubuntu.com/702127/ How can I revert? | 08:26 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, you replaced kde-window-manager with kde-window-manager-gles? | 08:27 |
=== ghost is now known as Guest30147 | ||
Arnold | GirlyGirl, have you replaced kde-window-manager with kde-window-manager-gles before? | 08:32 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: no | 08:32 |
Arnold | So what did you mean by reverting? | 08:33 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: I installed kde-window-manager-gles, obviously it removed the no gles one | 08:34 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, then you'll replace kde-window-manager-gles with the stock kde-window-manager. | 08:35 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: sudo apt-get install kde-window-manager should do it | 08:35 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, yep. That will remove kde-window-manager-gles, in favor of kde-window-manager. | 08:36 |
Arnold | This might explain more about the OpenGL ES 2.0 based Kwin's purpose: http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2011/07/running-kwin-with-opengl-es-2-0/ | 08:37 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: Reverting done on the intel system. Other systems work fine with GL-ES | 08:40 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, great! And what about the performance? Any improvement, even at the slightest? | 08:41 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: I don;t know the Nvidia systems are fast machines generally | 08:42 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, I see. In any case, the OpenGL ES 2.0 Kwin should bring some improvements nonetheless. That one is not based on OpenGL 1's fixed pipeline anymore. | 08:44 |
Arnold | It wasn't pure OpenGL 2.0 as I thought. | 08:45 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: Intel stated incomplete GL-ES support maybe with newer drivers it will work in future? | 08:46 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, I think the problem lies on the hardware, rather than software. Meaning that a hardware as old as a GMA 950 one is way too old to handle OpenGL ES 2.0 functions, so that's why it says it's incomplete. | 08:47 |
GirlyGirl | Arnold: Who knows its a 2009 card actually its a 945G Express | 08:48 |
Arnold | GirlyGirl, from what I was able to find out, is that pretty much only GMA 500 and GMA 600 graphics cards have OpenGL ES 2.0 support. The earlier ones don't. | 08:52 |
Arnold | And I can't find information about raw GMA graphics anywhere. Unless it's a PowerVR one (for embedded systems). | 08:53 |

adwait_sharma | Which is the best IRC client for Kubuntu 11.04? | 16:48 |
genii-around | adwait_sharma: Most people use Konversation or Quassel. There are also others which are not specific to Kubuntu such as XChat, command-line clients like irssi. It all depends on what you find "best" for your own style of work-flow. | 16:56 |
genii-around | !best | 16:56 |
ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:56 |

LINKSWORD2 | Is it possible for me to check for updates on a single application? | 18:51 |
GirlyGirl | LINKSWORD2: sudo apt-get update | 18:52 |
genii-around | LINKSWORD2: More specifically: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <specific-package-name-here> | 19:01 |
maco | hmm? i thought it was install, not upgrade, for a single package | 19:01 |
LINKSWORD2 | So if I'm wanting to upgrade Amarok, I put it after the "upgrade" ??? | 19:01 |
genii-around | maco: "possible for me to check for updates on a single application?" | 19:02 |
maco | genii-around: sudo apt-get install amarok would upgrade amarok if its already installed but an update is available for it | 19:02 |
genii-around | After apt-get update, apt-cache policy <packagename> would also say if there was a more recent version hopefully | 19:03 |
maco | indeed | 19:03 |
jmichaelx | LINKSWORD2: to upgrade a package, you use 'apt-get install <package-name>' | 19:04 |
maco | yeah, its install | 19:04 |
genii-around | Ah, OK | 19:04 |
maco | if i try genii-around's way with "apt-get upgrade packagename" it just goes back to offering all upgrades as if you hadnt listed a package name | 19:04 |

genii-around | maco: Hehe | 19:05 |
genii-around | maco: Thanks for the correction | 19:05 |

gedas | genii-around, Checking for a new ubuntu release | 19:38 |
gedas | No new release found | 19:38 |
genii-around | gedas: What says result of: cat /etc/issue | 19:39 |
gedas | genii-around, Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l | 19:39 |
gedas | genii-around, what that means? | 19:40 |
genii-around | gedas: It means the version right now is 10.10 ( Maverick Meerkat ) | 19:41 |
genii-around | gedas: Please try: sudo do-release-upgrade -p | 19:41 |
maco | did you sudo apt-get update first? | 19:41 |
gedas | maco, don't be kidding | 19:42 |
maco | huh? if its a clean install it wont know whats on the repos... | 19:43 |
gedas | maco, I upgraded from 10.03 to 10.10 now I'm trying to upgrade to 11.04 | 19:44 |
gedas | genii-around, Now something is hapening, please wait | 19:44 |
kaddi | what does "WARNING: Failed to read mirror file" mean if I use do-release-upgrade | 19:46 |
maco | kaddi: either the server you're using to get updates is down or your connection is bad | 19:46 |
maco | try a new server | 19:46 |
kaddi | o.o fascinating | 19:47 |
kaddi | i was using ubuntu.com | 19:47 |
maco | hmm | 19:47 |
gedas | guys, I thing upgrade is in process | 19:47 |
kaddi | hmm, i pressed enter and it continued running | 19:48 |
kaddi | we'll see.. if the update doesn't work out smoothly. I'll come back and blame it on you. :p j/k | 19:48 |
maco | maybe it was looking for a list of other mirrors to find a faster one? not sure now | 19:48 |
kaddi | now it's stuck on "calculating changes" | 19:50 |
kaddi | so ubuntu switched from openoffice to libreoffice? or did OO just rename itself? | 19:53 |
genii-around | It was an actual change | 19:53 |
maco | kaddi: a little from column A a little from column B | 19:53 |
maco | OOo is still around...but its main developers left and forked to make LibreOffice | 19:53 |
kaddi | ok | 19:54 |
maco | it was when Oracle bought Sun | 19:54 |
kaddi | i think i did hear part of the story after all.. just completely forgot about it | 19:55 |
OerHeks | this year, Oracle has ceded control of the OpenOffice.org code base to the Apache Software Foundation Incubator project | 19:55 |

gunksta | I have a plain text file full of the usual passwords and such sitting on my hard drive. Is there any way to open the file via Kate/KDE to view the file without first decrypting the file? In other words, I want to decrypted version to be in-memory only. | 20:34 |
genii-around | If it's plain text, where does the decrypting come in? | 20:37 |
gomiboy | gunksta: if the command you use to decrypt can output to stdout (probably yes) you can do anything | 20:38 |
gunksta | genii-around: The original file is plain text and technically, the encrypted version is plain text too, but not very useful unless it is decrypted first. | 20:39 |
genii-around | Ah, got it now. | 20:39 |
gunksta | gomniboy:I'm using kgpg when using KDE. I gues what I'm after is something similar to what Vim does. | 20:40 |
gunksta | I just noticed, that at the end of my options in dolphin is the option to view the file, which opens a windows containing the decrypted file, but does not appear to create a copy on my drive. It is a little clunky when closing the file, but appears to get me 90% of what I would want. | 20:43 |
orcris | Hi. | 20:43 |

gunksta | orcris:do-release-upgrade | 20:46 |
orcris | Thanks. | 20:46 |
gunksta | orcris:technically this is how you are supposed to upgrade ubuntu too. | 20:46 |
bbeck | Has anyone here installed dropbox, and if they have, have you been able to change the notifications to use knotify? | 20:47 |
gunksta | orcris:if you want to try out 11.10, you will need to add a "-d" to the end of that. | 20:47 |
BluesKaj | orcris, do-release-upgrade -d , if you're upgrading to a beta OS | 20:47 |
orcris | Thanks. | 20:48 |

BarkingFish | Can someone please, please tell me how to get rid of firefox 6, and get back to a working version please, like 3.6.17 or something useful??? | 22:12 |
BarkingFish | 6.0.2 is driving me barking. I can't get plugins because the ones I need aren't compatible yet, and Firefox is moving so fast they probably never ever will be again. | 22:13 |
maco | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/ | 22:14 |
maco | then pin or lock the version in synaptic | 22:14 |
maco | er oh right this is the kubuntu channel | 22:14 |
genii-around | !info firefox-4.0 | 22:14 |
ubottu | Package firefox-4.0 does not exist in natty | 22:14 |
maco | pin it in /etc/apt/apt_preferences | 22:14 |
genii-around | Hm | 22:14 |
maco | man 5 apt_preferences | 22:14 |
Daskreech | hi maco | 22:14 |
BarkingFish | maco, thank you :) | 22:14 |
maco | keep in mind this means you would not be getting security updates for it | 22:15 |
maco | youve been warned | 22:15 |
BarkingFish | I don't give a hoot. The security is no good to me anyway if the browser itself is about as useful as a wooden leg to a scarecrow :) | 22:17 |
BarkingFish | No windows media player plugin... no shockwave plugin, no moonlight or mono plugins... no point really :) | 22:17 |
* maco blinks | 22:20 | |
maco | there's a windows media player plugin for linux? | 22:20 |
xcv | Hello everyone. I have had a problem with the kde partition manager when i have tried to resize a ntfs partition. I have selected it, set the new size, and apply, but it has stopped at 66% for more than 3 hours, so i have clicked 'cancel' and it has hanged. I have had to kill the process and now that partition is displayed as 'unknown'. What can I do? | 22:24 |
xcv | please, I need help urgently | 22:26 |
gomiboy | maco try this: mozilla-plugin-vlc | 22:34 |
gomiboy | xcv: is the partition the same size as before or the 'new' size now? | 22:35 |
xcv | gomiboy: no, it shows the size i specified. I have googled a bit and fdisk displays HPFS/NTFS, but windows doesn't boot (win7) | 22:36 |
gomiboy | xcv: restore it to the previous size with fdisk | 22:38 |
gomiboy | xcv: that is: delete the partition and recreate it to the old size | 22:39 |
xcv | how can i know exactly the previous size? i just found this with grep in /var/log: http://pastebin.com/mq9q6M4c | 22:41 |
gomiboy | xcv: were you shrinking or enlarging? | 22:41 |
xcv | gomiby: i was shrinking it | 22:41 |
Daskreech | Why would a Scarecrow not want a wodden leg? | 22:41 |
xcv | gomiboy: i will need a bit of help with fdisk, i have never used it so seriously | 22:42 |
Daskreech | !info partitionmanager | 22:42 |
ubottu | partitionmanager (source: partitionmanager): A partition management utility. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.3-0ubuntu2 (natty), package size 428 kB, installed size 2856 kB | 22:43 |
gomiboy | xcv: you touched sda4 also? | 22:43 |
xcv | gomiboy: i don't think so, i have kubuntu in it and i have been able to reboot | 22:43 |
xcv | gomiboy: so, do you think that i will be able to restore my lost partition? | 22:45 |
gomiboy | xcv: then just delete sda3 and recreate. fdisk will give you the max free size then (assuming sda3 was 'in touch' with sda4) | 22:46 |
xcv | gomiboy: would the log info be useful for that operation? | 22:47 |
gomiboy | xcv: maybe... doing this can't get things worse anyway... :P | 22:47 |
xcv | gomiboy: that's true... how do i begin with fdisk? | 22:47 |
gomiboy | sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 22:48 |
gomiboy | d 3 | 22:48 |
xcv | sudo fdisk /dev/sda3? | 22:48 |
gomiboy | no, sda | 22:49 |
xcv | gomiboy: now? | 22:50 |
gomiboy | xcv: type d to delete, type 3 when asks part number | 22:50 |
xcv | yes, yes | 22:50 |
xcv | i have just deleted it, what should i do now? | 22:50 |
gomiboy | type n for new | 22:50 |
gomiboy | use the default numbers for size | 22:50 |
xcv | it asks me the first cylinder for now | 22:51 |
gomiboy | just press enter | 22:51 |
xcv | okay | 22:51 |
xcv | it asks me for the last cylinder | 22:52 |
gomiboy | enter again | 22:52 |
xcv | will it overwrite my current partitions or write until sda4? | 22:52 |
gomiboy | xcv: it will use only the free space, we will check later | 22:53 |
xcv | 65667 seems a bit round to me, it was just that lol | 22:54 |
xcv | done, now it should be repaired? | 22:54 |
=== szal is now known as rest | ||
gomiboy | so sda4 should start at 65668 right? :P | 22:54 |
=== rest is now known as szal | ||
gomiboy | no, one thing | 22:54 |
gomiboy | type t | 22:55 |
gomiboy | then 7 for ntfs | 22:55 |
gomiboy | no, wait | 22:55 |
xcv | done too | 22:55 |
xcv | what is wrong? | 22:55 |
gomiboy | done for partition 3 right ? | 22:56 |
xcv | yes, don't worry :) | 22:56 |
gomiboy | ok... :P | 22:56 |
genii-around | So then basically just w | 22:56 |
gomiboy | now press p and pastebin the status | 22:56 |
TheEvilPhoenix | sounds like either the windows failtextinstaller or the textual installer for Linux... | 22:57 |
TheEvilPhoenix | i assume the second? | 22:57 |
gomiboy | no, it's just fdisk, the old school partition editor :P | 22:57 |
TheEvilPhoenix | lol | 22:57 |
TheEvilPhoenix | no GUI? | 22:57 |
* TheEvilPhoenix raises an eyebrow | 22:57 | |
gomiboy | naaaa :P | 22:57 |
xcv | here you have it: http://pastebin.com/dAdbUQYD | 22:58 |
genii-around | Ah, Acer. Gotta love those hidden partitions | 22:59 |
TheEvilPhoenix | lolololololol | 23:00 |
xcv | o_O | 23:00 |
gomiboy | xcv: mmm didn't you say that the last cylinder was 65667? why it is 52920? | 23:00 |
xcv | i don't know, it said 65667, it seems like it has ignored me | 23:01 |
xcv | should i retry that? | 23:01 |
gomiboy | xcv: you exited fdisk? | 23:01 |
xcv | yes | 23:01 |
gomiboy | ... | 23:01 |
xcv | an error | 23:01 |
gomiboy | then do it again... | 23:02 |
xcv | done | 23:02 |
xcv | now? | 23:02 |
xcv | w? | 23:02 |
gomiboy | again, d 3... | 23:03 |
xcv | yes yes, i did it | 23:03 |
xcv | again lol | 23:03 |
gomiboy | oh... p to check | 23:03 |
xcv | it is ok, 65667 :D | 23:04 |
gomiboy | ok, w to write | 23:04 |
xcv | 'q' forbidden lol | 23:04 |
gomiboy | now try to mount it | 23:04 |
xcv | output of 'w': http://pastebin.com/9WWAHEd9 | 23:05 |
xcv | is it an error or is it normal? | 23:05 |
gomiboy | normal warning | 23:05 |
xcv | okay i was a bit scared | 23:05 |
xcv | mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/win7 | 23:06 |
xcv | is it okay? | 23:06 |
gomiboy | yes | 23:06 |
xcv | could not mount it: http://pastebin.com/JA4u3ym1 | 23:07 |
gomiboy | xcv: then you'll have to restore your backup, because everyone has a backup when messing with partitions, right? | 23:08 |
xcv | it was a 500 GB partition, and i had no information at all in it | 23:09 |
xcv | i will reboot and try to boot windows, i have nothing to lose | 23:10 |
xcv | i'll be back in a moment | 23:10 |
gomiboy | good just reinstall... or you can see it as a message to stick with linux forever.. :P | 23:11 |
xcv | i use linux a lot, but assassin's creed and imperium 3 don't work with wine :( | 23:11 |
xcv | sometimes i like to play for an hour or two, and wine is not perfect :/ | 23:12 |
xcv | wait, i'm rebooting | 23:12 |
gomiboy | heheh that's a common problem... and now i'm going to play deus ex... :P see you :D | 23:12 |
MDesade | i have a question: when i log in to my kubuntu 11.04 64-bit desktop, it flashes the icons showing services loading, then the screen goes black and nothing but the mouse cursor is visible... how can i fix this? | 23:25 |
MDesade | i have only changed the font to something larger, so i am happy to reset the config back to stock, if someone could clue me in as to how | 23:27 |
xcv | gomiboy: are you there? | 23:42 |
