[00:17] RickKnight: tried using padsp to launch the games? [00:21] anyone know how to turn off stereo mix? it's somehow on and really annoying for skype... :/ [00:23] Hello hello [00:24] Can anyone clarify for me whether the Muon Software Center will show apps submitted by developers as the Ubuntu "Software Center" does? === gaurav__ is now known as Guest76336 === jesus is now known as Guest28866 [00:39] Hi, after upgrading to Oneiric I no longer have Shutdown and Restart options. Any idea? [00:46] Hi, after upgrading to Oneiric I no longer have Shutdown and Restart options. Any idea? [00:53] gomiboy: Yes, padsp works on a couple but with some delay. It doesn't work at all RTCW. [00:53] Linkmaster: Yo [00:54] Daskreech: I lost my wired connection, so we're back to me being hosed...any ideas though, especially since b43-fwcutter didn't work? [00:54] Did you try modprobe b43 ? [00:56] Hey, I just installed kubuntu on my Compaq Presario C551NR, I'm having trouble getting the wireless to work. [00:56] !wifi [00:56] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:57] Thanks, I'll read that then. [00:59] Hi, after upgrading to Oneiric I no longer have Shutdown and Restart options. Any idea? [00:59] Daskreech: yep, when I tried those, the ability for wireless completely disappeared [01:04] Linkmaster: hmm [01:05] Linkmaster: Do you know what revision your card is? [01:05] I can find out...would it be written on the card itself? [01:07] Iiii think so? [01:07] Should say rev somenumber [01:11] Daskreech: this might be helpful: http://pastebin.com/AinKSBDQ [01:12] Running command "lshw -C network" says my wifi card is UNCLAIMED. I checked for proprietary drivers and Broadcom STA wireless driver is installed. I cannot access the wireless tab in the network manager though. [01:12] hi [01:13] I started installed some i386-packages on my 64bit system, but there are a lot dependencies, so i think i need to take a different way [01:15] I'm trying to install the graphic driver. do you think a chroot env is needed or should I just install every needed package using getlibs (ppa package from somebody)? [01:15] somebody = https://launchpad.net/~jcollins/+archive/jaminppa/+packages [01:21] Linkmaster: What command was that? [01:23] never mind :) [01:23] Daskreech: the title [01:23] Just saw it [01:23] ah, alright. anything useful in there? [01:24] Linkmaster, is the ive heard that sometimes the firware for a net card might get "misplace" during and upgade, dont know much more than that, usualy they are in /lib/firmware or some such place locate firmware [01:24] This was a fresh install, so thats one reason why we are confused of the borkyness [01:25] Linkmaster: Yeah. Is it 32 or 54 bit? [01:25] 64 [01:26] 32bit [01:26] fresh might be worse if they have decided they dont have room for an older driver or firmware file and just drop it [01:26] ^that is possible...the s10e is around 2-3 years old [01:27] and many of the broadcom are conidered proprietary they wouldnt be included, maybe you need to install the cutter packages [01:28] ^Tried that, its whats making my card completely disappear [01:28] As long as they are maintained they will be kept around [01:29] get the driver straight from boradcom [01:29] well, Daskreech, what do you propose we try next? [01:30] have you tried the "Additional Driver" and see if it lists Broadcom STA [01:31] that was amongst the first tried, it ended with nothing happening [01:31] you have the fw-cutter, but do you also have the installer ? [01:31] The Broadcom STA is what I used to always use [01:31] OerHeks: yes [01:31] can some1 help me [01:31] which was the closest we got to working except the rf-kill switch [01:31] Linkmaster: did it work in Windows? [01:32] Daskreech: nope [01:32] !ask [01:32] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:32] Linkmaster: oh? [01:32] I have the 'firmware-b43-lpphy-installer' [01:32] how do i download like jave/ flash player and stuff? [01:32] firmware-b43-installer ? [01:32] were i find it?

I was going to put installer w/o lpphy, but it said "your card is a low power" or something like that, and insisted I install that version [01:34] seee if it is blacklisted cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | grep b43 [01:34] junior: Open your package manager :) [01:35] Daskreech: and me tried that =P [01:35] ok [01:35] junior: search for kubuntu-restricted-extras [01:35] Click install and install it [01:36] There you go.

Both of them stopped working at the same time, but I didn't really think about it until just now [01:37] :-/ [01:37] how do is et so i aint gotta enter my password everytime i install something [01:37] * Daskreech thinks the card is borked. It's reporting that a hardswitch that doesn't exist is turned on and can't pick up any signals [01:37] junior thats a good option, leave it be. its for security purposes, to not let a happenstance person mess with your system [01:38] junior: finish one thing at at time :) [01:38] ok [01:38] * Linkmaster has started to believe that as well.. [01:38] We can fix that afterwards [01:38] hmm...let me jack a card from another kid, see if it starts working [01:39] * Daskreech laughs [01:39] Sorry I just saw you robbing some guy of his laptop's wifi card dressed in a penguin suit [01:40] whaq whaq whaq (while tookin cigar and twriling unbrella) [01:40] can kubuntu run minecraft? [01:40] Give me your laptop...s wifi card. You can keep the rest of the laptop... NOW! Move it Buddy! [01:40] junior: Yes [01:40] I was actually surprised when I heard it ran on Windows [01:40] what minecraft [01:40] Yes :) [01:41] lol i had windows 7 but it was so laggy running minecraft and stuff [01:41] You can probably tune it. [01:41] Daskreech: ironically, that is exactly what I did =P [01:41] so how do i run it then? [01:42] Linkmaster: You carry a penguin suit for just such an occasion :) [01:42] junior: instructions are on the website [01:42] !info minecraft [01:42] Package minecraft does not exist in oneiric [01:42] Didn't think so [01:42] No, I'm talking about the "give me your laptop...s wireless.." part [01:43] u guys on here 24/7 [01:44] we all live here. it was the sad result of a scientific experiment that went horribly and hopelessly wrong... [01:44] what u on about live her [01:44] here* [01:45] * Linkmaster is trapped [01:46] so sitting there helping people is your day job? [01:46] * Unit193 couldn't figure out what people were talking about when they said "/part" [01:46] we are just waiting for someone from the outside to come along, and be the bridge for to once again resurface in the visible world [01:46] for us* [01:47] junior: Occupation. Not really a job :) [01:47] * jmichaelx thinks to himself, 'but it really is kind of peaceful here...' [01:47] Unit193: You got that /part now? [01:47] Daskreech: well...I tried a 'good' card, and the same problem..I'm just going to try the other kids motherboard as well [01:47] ok so i downloaded minecraft now how do i run it :/ [01:48] Hi, after upgrading to Oneiric I no longer have Shutdown and Restart options. Any idea? [01:50] nafg_, sounds like you have a mix or kde and gnome or unity components and there is a conlfict, like usng lighdm instead of kwin or along those lines [01:52] nafg_, are you logging in with KDM or GMD it must be KDM in kubuntu to see those menus [01:53] if you are certain (100 percent) that you want kdm maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [01:53] Ah, that could be it. But I'm quite sure it wasn't like that in Natty. [01:53] Did something change and why? [01:53] log out and in and pick kdm for sessoin and see if that is it [01:54] I'll find out the next time I log out :) [01:55] * Linkmaster has come to a depressing realization [01:55] k pertty sure it is along those lines [01:55] Huh -- it was set to lightdm for some reason. Does unity use it? [01:55] light dm is the windows manager for unity kubuntu still uses kwin i believe [01:56] bevofe i think comp8iz might have been for ubuntu [01:56] Linkmaster: Ben Affleck can't act? [01:56] Wait, are we discussing window manager or desktop manager (gdm vs. kdm)? [01:57] the missing loou t screen is usualy the logon manager not being kdm [01:57] but the new unubut now uses lightdm as windows manager [01:57] Could lightdm also be a logon manager? [01:57] but if your usihng kubuntu that is incorrect [01:57] Daskreech: I think my motherboard is broken, because the good card didn't work either. I then popped my harddrive into the other computer, and it worked perfectly. first time connection, no problem [01:58] I switched it back, but under Natty it was gdm and it worked. [01:58] i guess technicly it is the display manager [01:58] i have a shell program. how to add it to kde panel? i tried playing with widgets, but cant find how to add a shell program as in icon to the panel [01:58] a move to webkit [01:59] 11.10 ubuntu (not kubuntu) now uses lighdm did not in natty [01:59] Android: Right click desktop, New link to application [01:59] So KDE is ok with gdm but not lightdm? [01:59] Anyway, why on earth should it care? [02:00] lightdm may repalce gdm, im using kubuntu not for sure about vanalia ubunt u [02:02] It is proposed to be the display manager in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneric) replacing GDM which has been the display manager since the beginning. See the blueprint for more details. [02:04] nafg: i cant see my desktop anywhere, not in panel, how to quickjump to it? [02:04] Daskreech: yep...my motherboard must be borked, because even my broken card works in the other computer [02:05] Android: So just open Dolphin [02:05] oh, i added a show desktop widget, so i can click that now [02:05] ..... my broken card works is that a saying like military intelliegence [02:07] i am think i am now in favor of the search and launch view, it seems to work fo rme [02:08] im on 4.7, when right click on the desktop, only have addWidget, addPanel, Activities, RunCommand options, [02:08] i can use a remote with it easily [02:09] i dont see how the newspalyer layout could be uses well [02:09] used well that is [02:10] AndroidLoverInSF, that sounds about like the deafults with lock and a couple others [02:11] i just want to add an icon to the bottom panel for a shell program i installed, but cant figure out how [02:11] AndroidLoverInSF, oh i see now, find the application in the launcher then right click on it [02:12] if you have the defualt panel it will have a lancher menu, if not add a launcher or add the default panel back [02:12] oh but the app isnt in the laucher cuz its a shell program in a dir. i know how to add "installed" apps to the panel but not custom shell programs [02:13] type the name in the launcher it will find even shell apps [02:13] like i can type in cat and i get an opton to run cat [02:13] oh i see, the problem is the app has no extension ie, "eclipse" [02:14] /opt/eclipse/eclipse -clean [02:14] right lick the luancher and edit applications [02:14] ahh i see, thanks, i should be able to figure it out from here [02:14] new rekonq coming down from kubuntu ppa.... maybe this one will work [02:15] thanks! [02:15] its all new the 1st time hehe [02:16] hehe, yep [02:17] so add it to the launcher, then add the new launcher item to the panel. got it! [02:19] rekonq 0.8 appears o be working :-) [02:19] to* [02:19] Linkmaster: Woohoo! Problem solved!! [02:20] True, it just led me to a larger one xP [02:21] ##hardware [02:21] AndroidLoverInSF, more ways to skin the cat probably, but that one is the direct one [02:21] I don't even want to [insert string of horrid things here] anymore [02:21] That's good [02:22] Linkmaster's wireless is working??? [02:22] I've never wanted to [insert something horrid in his here] [02:22] jmichaelx: looks so [02:22] YAY!!!!! [02:22] jmichaelx: Rest of the computer is broken though [02:22] who cares about that... [02:22] Motherboard is messed up [02:22] wireless is working!! [02:22] oh [02:22] ok, not so good [02:22] jmichaelx, what was not working with old rekong? i cant get it to do flash well [02:23] phiscribe: for me, the rekonq was crashing like a mofo every time i tried to use it... especially uping trying to open new tabs [02:24] ah, well glad the new version is working [02:24] s/uping/upon/ [02:24] is it gonna be rekonq now or konq which is gonna be the default [02:25] rekonq doesnt seem to fish or man or ftp even [02:25] in kubuntu, at least, it is rekonq [02:25] hmm [02:26] phiscribe: i guess it doesn't... i just tried to fish with it, and it opened a dolphin window [02:27] i dunno whether or not they intend to add those things or not.... if they turn rekonq into a file browser, etc, what will we need dolphin for? [02:28] maybe they can merge them... and it'll really be like konqueror 2 [02:28] sftp smb all that [02:28] or not or not [02:29] web kit also, well i dont like its fonts in linux [02:29] it is greased lighnting though [02:30] but webkit came fro khtml, eat your parents [02:52] Greetings one & all. I was wondering if anyone here might be able to direct me in the use how to send SMS from my Yahoo Account using Kopete? I have everything set up as it should be etceteral. Excepting the fact I've been unable to send SMS using kopete. [02:55] Interesting thing about the matter is that Pidgin does it just fine automatically. Yet Kopete itself seems to have no option to do so in the Yahoo Account. [02:55] [Taps on his screen & scratches his beard befuddled amusement] [02:57] Eh...it seems I'll have to brush up on my grammar abit. It's been quite sometime since I've been around these parts...so to speak. [03:00] hi Linuxephus [03:00] your grammar seems fine to me [03:00] Greetings Dunlap and well met by the way. [03:01] :) I tried using Kopete and wasn't impressed. so i went back to Pidgin which I've used since it was Gaim [03:02] kopete doesnt seem as feature rich, still feeding off its egg sack i think [03:02] is there a magic bullet for ugly fonts, especialy browseres, (webkit seems worse) [03:03] Well, I too used to use Pidgin until I switched over to Kubuntu which comes with Kopete by default. However, unless I'm mistaken otherwise, it appears Kopete, unlike Pidgin, doesn't support the SMS feature on ones Yahoo account as Pidgin does. [03:03] phiscribe: the 'ubuntu' font seems very nice, and dejavu * works nicely [03:03] its not the fonts, its how they are rendered [03:04] like antialias is ignored [03:04] Linuxephus: I know that the new KDE-telepathy can send SMS texts, as long as they text you first. I believe I recall the devels saying they'd eventually work in a 'text' button of sorts [03:04] haha [03:04] Oh, that is..oh, somewhere in the system settings, I recall something somewhere somehow(which really doesn't help) about how to fix that [03:04] my applications are ok, its mosly just the browsers, and mostly ones using webkit to render [03:05] * Linkmaster is tired and braindead, so he dares not venture a solution [03:07] Ah, I'm thinking it indeed happens to be in the settings somewhere around something Linkmaster-->>LOLing. Reckon I'll have to dig around some as there are SMS options. Just not the straight forward variety. [03:07] Or back to Pidgin to keep it simple. Thanks for the "heads-up" nonetheless Linkmaster. [03:10] Interesting, the set-up here is quite different from the commenting set-up that one might find in a forum versus irc. [Duly noted for future use] [03:12] xdunlapx: And how does one here address another directly to get the beeping notification? [03:13] Linkmaster, if the users name is in the message it hits the notification system [03:13] Linuxephus, i meant [03:13] Linuxephus: I think you type /msg nickname message but i'm not sure i'm new to kde apps such as quassel [03:14] Thanks =P [03:14] messages with phiscribe in them will notify me, messages with Linuxephus notify you [03:14] ah Linkmaster you like being notified hehe [03:14] Yep, I just figured that out phiscribe...xdunlapx [03:14] at least add a "sorry, false ping" in there when the person goes away and you accidentally ping them [03:15] Linuxephus, try starting a new mesassage and type phi then hit tab phi+tab [03:15] it tries to auto fill the name like a bash shell and a directory [03:16] as long as there isnt a philosophy ur ok [03:17] Can anyone clarify for me whether the Muon Software Center will show apps submitted by developers as the Ubuntu "Software Center" does? [03:18] Ah, I always prefer to be notified if possible. Though a quick reading eye will do the same in either case @Phis. xdunlapx: I'm connected here thru Chromium. [03:19] MeanderingCode: I believe it will do that very thing from default if I'm not mistaken. [03:20] * phiscribe is still on 11.04, not read to fight the lions tigers and bears [03:20] Linuxephus: Thanks. The only app i know of to "test" it with isn't in there, yet (for Oneiric...it's in for older ones) [03:20] not ready that is [03:23] I was going to try Quassel @Dunlap, but opted for the quicker non-registration route. I happen to be on Kubuntu 11.04 myself as well Phis. No problem Meandering, though methinks there should be several other means to do "testing". [03:25] Linkmaster: I'm wondering how one is to know when another goes away to avoid falsely pinging them (LOLing) when ones having gone away is not made known. [03:26] * Linkmaster ponders [03:27] [Scratches his beard & laughs good naturedly as he begins to see the ease of which of how similar irc and forums actually are.] [03:27] [Ponders the pondering along with Linkmaster] [03:27] Linuxephus: Far as I know there is no SMS from Yahoo in Kopete. The Yahoo maintainer for Kopete left quite a while back (after getting Voice and Video working) but kde-telepathy would support it [03:27] Oh jeez, you have no clue...these are forums, just fast [03:28] * Linkmaster did mention kde-telepathy earlier [03:28] Linuxephus: That has not been released yet so if SMS in Yahoo is important to you please feel free to use Pidgin [03:28] !tab | Linuxephus [03:28] Linuxephus: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:29] Linkmaster: but not permanent which is a disadvantage [03:29] Yeah, but it works nicely still [03:30] Linkmaster: Tends to be friendlier though [03:30] Daskreech: I seem to have managed to verify that very thing Daskreech. And thanks to you & Linkmaster for the aforementioned KDE-Telepathy suggestion. Tab...duly noted and much quicker yet. [03:30] THE FACT THAT IT WORKS..... [03:30] ha ha :) [03:32] I prefer to stick with KDE apps. as much as possible, so I'll give Telepathy a whirl so to speak. Though Pidgin always was less problematic in my humble opinion. [03:33] Linkmaster: So long as it works, that's all that matters. [Contemplates pondering the universe] [03:33] don't, you'll get a headache [03:33] Linuxephus: starting your message with "/me " will make it an action [03:33] * MeanderingCode hopes the suggestion is helpful [03:34] In that case Linkmaster, you can be Misery, and I'll be Loves Company. [03:35] MeanderingCode: I think you just confused me abit there MeanderingCode. [03:36] if i type "/me hopes this is clearer", it will say: [03:36] * MeanderingCode hopes this is clearer [03:36] * Linkmaster typed '/me' before typing "typed '/me' [03:37] MeanderingCode: I though that's what you were implying. Duly noted. I see "making it an action" is differing from the forum version of "making an action". [03:37] what is an "action" in a forum? [03:37] -action- [03:38] * Linkmaster -stabs- MeanderingCode [03:38] tough to do over the wire :P [03:39] MeanderingCode: An "action in a forum would more along the lines of starting and ending a sentence with "[ ]" or something similar to give the appearance of taking an action. My apologies as I should've made that clearer. [03:39] makes sense === william is now known as Guest96167 [03:40] i use that notation in non irc chat [03:40] * Linuxephus Stabs the typing that made the typed typo === Guest96167 is now known as Ihazaclue [03:41] Blah blah blah [03:41] MeanderingCode: LOLing...I always use the "[ ]" notation by habit in "stating" an action. [03:42] Ihazaclue: The only thing I got from that was "blah, blah, blah". [03:43] Well ladies and gentleman alike, my humble thanks for the very usefull information. I bid one and all a good day or night, depending on ones location. [03:44] Signed: Josephus Duncan Constantinus. [04:03] * Daskreech welcomes back the wandering pondering Linuxephus [04:04] :) [04:04] nice job with 11.10 looks and runs great [04:05] * Linuxephus Welcomes back Daskreech who noticed the wandering, pondering Linuxephus pondering wonderingly around. [04:05] lnxkde: That would be for #kubuntu-devel :) [04:10] Daskreech: :) done [04:12] MeanderingCode: Any more luck with getting that Muon Software question tested with a satisfactory answer? [04:12] Nope...dealing w/ other tasks, atm [04:13] Eh...I'm still trying to decide if I like the Freenode better than using Quassel. Though I'll admit I like, apparently, IRC much better than "chat" and almost as muchas a forum setting. [04:15] * Linuxephus Thanks Daskreech for the previous "welcome back". [04:16] Linuxephus: Freenode is a server. Quassel is a way of accessing the server [04:16] THough I know suspect you are talking about chat.frenode.org [04:16] Wait [04:16] is it http://webchat.freenode.org ? [04:16] No wait .net [04:17] I should really remember that URL better [04:19] Daskreech: It was one of the Freenode sites. It fails my memory as to exactly what the URL was at the moment. And what I meant to infer was: I'm not sure whether I like accessing Freenode via Chromium or Quassel-->>LOLing [04:19] is anyone else having issues with kde going dim and blacking the screen out when watching a movie? [04:19] Belial`: Change the power setting ? [04:20] Daskreech: to what? shouldn't it just know not to do that while a movie is playing? [04:20] Linuxephus: :-) I use Konversation myself [04:20] Belial`: That will be in your Desktop Settings if I'm not mistaken. Standby, I'll doublecheck that. [04:20] how would I go about just using certain parts of kde? [04:20] Linuxephus: ok, thanks. [04:21] "I use Konversation myself"-->>Huh, I'll go peruse that when my time permits Dask. [04:21] Belial`: It should if the video player sets the mode. Some of them don't. The new KDE release should have this much easier. There will be a one button switch for it and you can link that to an application so even if the videoplayer doesn't set the power profile correctly Kwin will do it for you [04:22] vehemoth: Install the parts you care about with dependencies and run those [04:22] Daskreech: i see. [04:22] Belial`: for now you can press alt+F2 and type power [04:23] Daskreech: I have as much as I can, is it possible to modify the start up process so only some of it starts? [04:24] vehemoth: What are you trying to acheive ? [04:24] Belial`: Dask is correct. Go into your Power Profile Settings and Unclick the "dim display" checkbox in whatever profile you're currently using. [04:25] Daskreech: I don't want the bar at the bottom or whatever does the desktop. I'm assuming it's plasma. I would like the notifications. Seperatley from kde I seem to be able to only start krunner and kwin [04:26] Simple question: How do I run a program as a different user? [04:26] alrighty. thanks, Daskreech, Linuxephus. do i need to uncheck screen energy saving also? [04:26] vehemoth: if all you want is krunner and kwin you can probably do that. I used to run that as my only options [04:27] vehemoth: If you specifically don't want just the bar you can click on that button at the end and remove it [04:27] Belial`: Not that I'm aware of. My only does that with the "dim display" active. [04:27] Belial`: That would stop the screen powerdown from kicking in [04:27] Daskreech: can you tell me what draws the notifications? [04:27] alright. thanks again. [04:28] mr-rich: In theory you should be able to run it from krunner and choose run as a different user from the little wrench beside the application name [04:28] No idea if the bug blocking it was fixed though [04:28] vehemoth: knotify which comes from kdelibs. If you have a Kapp running then the notifications exist. [04:29] Plasma will skin them to whatever theme you are running. If you don't have plasma running they become static grey boxes [04:29] mr-rich: which program would you like to run? [04:30] Daskreech: Dolphin [04:31] mr-rich: Hmm ok let me try it out. I think that might still be broken though [04:32] Daskreech: Okay thanks, I'm going to try some thigns and hopefulyl they'll work [04:32] Daskreech: If it doesn't work, I have a work around ... [04:33] mr-rich: :) there are workarounds of course. That's just a GUI exposure of other wasys of doing it. Would be nice if it worked though :-/ Seems that bug hasn't been closed [04:33] Belial`: Alternately, Gnome Mplayer has a setting that disables Dimming & SCreensaver during video playback. That's merely a "heads-up" mind you. [04:33] vehemoth: alright. Are you jsut trying to get rid of the panel? [04:34] Belial`: To be honest I can't remember when last player didn't flip those properly though [04:34] it happens with dragon player. [04:34] so far it's the only i've used. [04:36] does smplayer not also have such settings? [04:36] Gnome Mplayer would stop that from being a problem for those not wanting to muck about in the Power Management settings. Works perfectly for me on Kubuntu 11.04, though I've the "dim display" option unchecked to begin with. [04:36] Daskreech: I'm trying to mix and match things that I like from different environments. Though I'm obviously not used to trying to rip apart DEs. This one had frustrated me so much but I just looked over a page and found that I could start krunner separetely [04:36] vehemoth: You can indeed [04:37] jmichaelx: I'm not sure since I haven't used it since my Gnome 2.32 desktop days. [04:38] Linuxephus: just a question, but why would you use gnome mplayer in kde, with options like smplayer around? [04:38] ahh [04:38] Daskreech: Though I still can't find anything on how to modify the start process of ksmserver and all that stuff [04:39] Linuxephus: just asking, since smplayer might be a bit of a better match for kde... but if you prefer gnome mplayer, far be it from me to tell you to use something else [04:39] Because I'm what you might refer to as a desktop mixer...Example: I'm running KDE 4.6.x and Gnome3 on my own install. Preferences I suppose. [04:39] i must say that i am so far very disappointed in vdpau performance on this machine in oneiric [04:39] Daskreech: or maybe it was kwrapper4, anyway I'll get onto what I was trying [04:40] vehemoth: alright [04:40] !info kmplayer [04:40] Linuxephus: yup, it's all about what works best for you [04:40] !info kaffiene [04:40] kmplayer (source: kmplayer): media player for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.11.2c-1 (oneiric), package size 620 kB, installed size 3300 kB [04:40] Package kaffiene does not exist in oneiric [04:40] Hmm [04:40] kaffeine* [04:40] Ok, so i updated and upgraded my way from 8.04 to 10.04 and finally got all my media to play. it was awesome. then i paused Commando, left for an hour, came back and i'm right back to square one. audio works, video is just a blue background [04:40] !info kaffeine [04:40] kaffeine (source: kaffeine): versatile media player for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.2-1ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 357 kB, installed size 1552 kB [04:41] \o/ [04:41] yay [04:41] jmichaelx: And in the end that's all that matters [lol] [04:41] Linuxephus: i agree [04:41] Deet`: what video codec is it using? [04:41] !info commando [04:41] Package commando does not exist in oneiric [04:41] what's Commando ? [04:41] Daskreech: already have all those you've listed. As for 11.10, I'm waiting for it to mature a bit more so to speak. [04:41] movie with Ahhnold [04:42] Linuxephus: Good move [04:42] that part was probably irrelevent. had no idea what codec is being used. [04:42] Deet`: Oh Ahhnold. He'll blue screen anything [04:42] lol Daskreech, not just him, every movie files [04:42] just a blue background in the media player. doesn't mater which player i use either [04:43] Ah that's more worrying :) [04:43] How would I log out with a command? [04:43] Deet`: sounds like a video option. What driver are you using? [04:43] vehemoth: logout ? [04:43] vehemoth: unless you mean from KDE [04:43] good question. i just know it worked, didn't do anything then it quit. lemme check the video settings [04:44] Deet`: What video card do you have? [04:44] ATI Radeon 9550 [04:44] Ah I've the 9560 [04:45] 256mb, AGP8x [04:45] Or 9650 I forget [04:45] Daskreech: pkill X probably, unless there's a better way of course [04:45] i forgot how to look up my drives by command line or in kde4 [04:45] :/ [04:45] vehemoth: you can do a dbus logout command [04:45] i know it installed the ATI catalyst stuff [04:46] Deet`: umm.. depends on what you are looking for [04:46] Daskreech: cool, I'll look into it [04:46] drivers* sorry [04:46] Deet`: Ah well then I know what driver you are using then [04:47] well, at least someone knows what i'm doing :P [04:48] except i don't belive i'm using the ATI driver as Catalyst doesn't run [04:49] joy: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [04:50] mr-rich: you'll be happy to know the krunner works :) I was doing it wrong [04:51] Deet`: from the command line can you type lsmod | grep ati [04:51] let me know if it returns anything [04:52] mr-rich: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205229 [04:52] KDE bug 205229 in general "The "run as different user" option doesn't work" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] [04:52] nope [04:53] Deet`: press up and replace ati with radeon [04:53] Daskreech: nada [04:53]
