xieyiThe software center and the upgrade notification of kubuntu 11.04 is convenient. Why does the 11.11 change it to muon?00:30
Linkmasterxieyi: its used muon since 11.04. 11.10 is just an enhancement of it00:36
SIR_Tacoxieyi: I beleive the idea is that Muon gives you the "basic" and "expert" options00:37

glennwhipplei installed kubuntu-desktop on 11.10 -- how do i uninstall ubuntu and its gnome apps so it has kde only apps installed?00:50
macoglennwhipple: read what ubottu said00:50
glennwhippleremoving the ubuntu-desktop metapackage does nothing00:50
glennwhipplethat link refers to 9.04 and earlier00:50
Don_jrI have recently installed the newest Kubuntu for download.  I have nvidia drivers installed but cannot find where to add more resolutions or color depth. the xorg.conf file doesn't have much in it anymore.00:51
macoglennwhipple: read the manual one. i dont know who put the automatic bit in, but im going to remove it00:51
macooh ugh00:51
SIR_Tacowhat maco and ubottu are suggesting will work00:51
macono they wont00:51
macobecause SOMEONE copied the psychocats stuff into a wiki then didnt keep it up to date with psychocats!00:51
macohttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde00:51
macoubottu: no !purekde is <reply> If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde »00:52
glennwhipplemaco: thanks!00:52
Don_jrCould someone direct me where to manually add screen resolutions and depth please?  xorg.conf appears to be much more limited than I remember it.00:56
maco!resolution00:56
ubottuThe X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution00:56
macoDon_jr: see that wiki page for how to use xrandr00:56
Don_jrthanks00:56
Linkmasterspeaking of X...when will kubuntu start supporting wayland?01:08
Don_jrgetting an error attempting to run the commands suggested on that wiki site.  reading through the thread and still can't find an answer to my error.01:08
SentynelDon_jr: if you're using the nvidia binary drivers, open nvidia x server settings01:11
Don_jrI have looked in teh settings, it doesn't list the resolution that I'm trying to get to, which I know my monitor supports, nor will it allow me to go past 16mill color depth.01:13
Sentynelwhat colour depth are you hoping for exactly?01:14
macothere's something past 16mil?01:16
macoLinkmaster: when ubuntu does? i dont think wayland is intended before the next lts at least01:16
macooh theres nothing else before the next lts is there? ok well not 12.04!01:16
LinkmasterI'm including backports and the like. Even hack installs. I just want to know whether it'll start working(supposedly, 11.10 can work using openGL ES, but I'm not sure about it)01:19

Don_jrI have installed kubuntu 11.10 fresh yesterday, I have an nvidia graphics card and the drivers appear to be working somewhat properly.  But some resolution and color depth are missing in the nvidia config settings.  I've tried xrandr to manually add resolutions with no success.  How else might I go about doing this?01:41
SIR_TacoDon_jr: what resolutions and colour depths aren't working?01:42
Don_jr1280x1025 resolution doesnt' appear in the config drop down menu and 16mil colors is the max it will allow me to select01:42
Don_jrin the past I've had to manually add things to xorg.conf to make this work.  But xorg.conf no longer appears to be tehre for me to do that with.01:43
SIR_TacoDon_jr: are you sure you're using the "Nvidia" drivers?01:43
Don_jrit shows as 'active' in the 'additional drivers' list and teh nvidia config tool works for changing resolutions, it just doesn't give me the resolutions or color depth that I know this card/monitor can use.01:45
Don_jrI have attempted to cvt 1280x1025 and add the mode and then set it to default with no positive results01:45
Don_jrI get Configuring crt1 failed01:46
SIR_TacoDon_jr: any idea what your driver version is?01:46
Don_jreven when I change the resolution within the nvidia settings after a restart it reverts back, due to the fact that I can't save it to an x configuration file01:47
Don_jrlet me check01:47
SentynelDon_jr: no xorg.conf is used by default but you can create one and it'll be used01:47
Sentynelagain, what colour depth are you expecting to get?01:47
Don_jrthere's only one more above the 16mil colors isn't there?01:48
Don_jrdon't remember if it's 28 or 3201:48
SIR_Taco2401:48
Don_jrI can't find the driver version01:48
Sentynelas I understand it 32 bit is misleading; it simply refers to 24 bit colours plus an 8-bit alpha channel01:48
Sentynel24 bit is the maximum depth for the actual colours01:49
Don_jrdont' remember how to look, but the nvidia config shows the proper card and the additional drivers says the drivers are current and up to date01:49
SIR_TacoSentynel: you are right01:49
SIR_TacoDon_jr: open Konsole and type : "nvidia-settings --version"01:49
Don_jrDidn't know that, but good to learn.  I jsut know it will go above 16mil, on my winblows side of the partition I get all of these01:50
Don_jrversion 280.1301:50
SIR_TacoDon_jr: ok well that's good01:51
Don_jrfrom past experiences it's the monitor that causes teh issue.  it's an older samsung SyncMaster 731b, I've always had to manually add the resolutions and depth to the xorg.conf before01:52
SIR_Tacoaaaaah01:52
Don_jrcreating a proper xorg.conf from scratch is not something I believe I could do without much help lol01:53
SIR_TacoDon_jr: is it a DVI or VGA port?01:53
Don_jrconnected via vga at teh moment as I don't have a dvi cord01:54
SIR_TacoDon_jr: ok, only asking becuase I have a DVI/VGA monitor that forgets it can accept DVI01:55
Don_jrNo problem, yes teh monitor and card both have dvi ports, I just don't have a cord to do so, and from what I've read there isn't much of a performance issue between the two so I never bothered to get one.01:56
Don_jreither way it sounds as if I'm going to have to attempt to create a xorg.conf file from scratch01:57
Don_jrwill xconfigure do this for me?01:57
Don_jrxonfig or whichever it is, been a while01:58
SIR_TacoDon_jr: you can have nvidia create your Xorg config for you.... beats the old days02:03
Don_jrtried that, didn't work, had like 2 lines in it.  BUT Xorg :1 -configure did create a file for me, I'm fiddling with it now02:04
Don_jrwill need to restart X in a few mins, though I don't remember how to do that directly02:04
SIR_TacoDon_jr: "sudo nvidia-xconfig" will do it02:06
Don_jrI'll try that if this doesn't work, do I have to reboot completely to restart X or is there another way?02:07
SIR_TacoDon_jr: you need to log-out at least... might have to restarte X (when you log out I think it's "ALT-E"... but there's a menu option there too somewhere)02:09
Don_jralright, back in a few02:09
Don_jrtrying the nvidia way now, that xorg.conf did not work properly, had to start in failsafe mode02:11
Don_jrokay, that xorg.conf looks much nicer, restarting X again, back in a few02:15
SIR_TacoDon_jr: So?02:16
Don_jralright, well now it's on and I have to setup the default resolutions, this appears to be working thus far02:16
Don_jrother than extremely limited(2 very low) resolutions lol02:16
SIR_TacoDon_jr: but does it show your monitor/video card resolution/colour depth?02:17
Don_jrthe conf file does not show everything correct just yet, well not to display properly02:17
Don_jrnot sure what your asking or looking for.02:17
Don_jrthe nvidia server settings give me the option of 2 resolutions02:18
Don_jrthat's it02:18
SIR_Tacoyou should only have two options... 16 and 2402:18
Don_jrI have 8, 15, 16 and 2402:19
SIR_Tacobut your resolution isn't right?02:19
Don_jr640x480 is the highest resolution shown02:19
SIR_Tacoare you sure that you're using the nvidia drivers?02:20
Don_jrhopefully just adding the 'modes' line to the display will fix that?02:20
SIR_Tacoopen konsole and type: "lsmod | grep nvidia"02:20
Don_jrnvidia              10390874  30     is the output02:24
Don_jrI have added teh 'modes' line to the xorg.conf was about to restart to test it.  should I wait or give it a shot?02:24
SIR_Tacogive it a shot I guess02:27

Don_jrSIR_Taco I have the problem fixed! :D  Thanks for your patience and help04:00
Steve132Sorry, I d/c...is anyone else having a problem where the volume indicator doesn't seem to have an effect on the actual volume?04:13
mase_workSteve132: what do you mean by volume indicator?04:15
Steve132I mean I have volume up/down/mute buttons on my keyboard, and when I use them knotify shows me a progress bar that increases and decreases correctly as I press them04:15
Steve132but the volume of the sound is unaffected04:15
* TheEvilPhoenix has never had that issue04:16
mase_workah i don't have that but it might be that it's altering the wrong channel04:16
Steve132how would I check/fix that?04:16
mase_workrmb select primary channel maybe04:17
mase_workyou could open kmix04:17
mase_workand change the volume and see which bar is reduce04:17
mase_workreduced*04:17
Steve132So, I just did that04:21
Steve132and it does seem to be incorrect04:21
Steve132I apparently have two sound devices in this machine04:21
Steve132one is hdmi04:21
Steve132and the other is my speakers04:21
Steve132that would be great except setting everything to prefer to not use the hdmi seems to have no effect04:21
mase_workthere are a few places you have to make the settings, unfortunately it's still a bit fiddley04:22
mase_workone day i'll submit a bug report about it04:22
Steve132think you could help me to figure it out?04:23

How do I configure apt-get/aptitude to use these proxy settings? Please note that I cannot just use the http_proxy env variable as  I have to use the PAC file. I have opened the PAC file, but it is non-trivial. It is not just "use this proxy". It is more like: "use this proxy for these ne09:47

rapalinook i've been having some little problems... for example... the "tab" in the right corner at the top called "Desktop", in my case, it's called "unnamed"...17:25
rapalinohow can I fix this?17:25
systemclientrapalino: I assume you created an activity called "unnamed"17:25
yofelrapalino: click on it -> activities17:25
yofelclick on the wrench of the activity that's called 'unnamed'17:26
yofelchange name to something else, apply17:26
rapalinoI mean, in the desktop screen at kubuntu, when you add widgets... the button normally reads "desktop"...17:27
g3org3___systemclient: first im gonna uninstall anything relating to nvidia and ATI to fix this17:27
rapalinomine reads "unnamed"...17:27
yofelg3org3___: if your /etc/X11/xorg.conf has something with nvidia in it remove that too (or just the whole file)17:27
yofelnote that nvidia-common doesn't need to be removed17:28

yofelhexacode: how did you tell cron to run the script?18:30
hexacodeok im not finding the error..i did see some but all seems to be fine with cron...im going to bin everything im doing, maybe someone can help me find my problem...the unusual thing is that it was running fine at 10:28 this morning then it seems to have continued to run, but the only difference is that the script it triggered wasnt writing to a file anymore...so i triggered the script manualy and it wrote to the file just fine..18:30
hexacodeyofel ill bin18:31

rapalinoMuon*18:35
yofelrapalino: apper is the old kpackagekit and uses packagekit as backend. Muon uses libqapt. So they both do the same thing, just differently18:38
hexacodeok i got my crontab data into pastebin...just a recap though..i cant figure out why my cron isnt working...when i fire up the bash file manually, it works fine and outputs to a file called tester but when cron tries to run the file, nothing is output to tester...at first it was working, then it stopped working at 10:28      heres the pastebin http://pastebin.com/F9ZzwbtM18:38
hexacodein the tester.sh file line 28, thats when i started firing off the bash script manually and it seemd to write just fine to tester18:39

alexdevillxHi all18:56
genii-aroundromeyro: The doom9 people were working on libbluray but it seems stalled for a long time now.18:56
romeyrosystemclient: yeah... :S i read a couple of articles on ubuntu forum about that but that was when i had ubuntu installed18:57
romeyrosystemclient: its my first time on kubuntu, i think its better18:58
systemclientromeyro: Ubuntu gets better every release. Back in 2005, it was pretty bumpy. But now I would say that the average joe could use it for most things18:58
Wizard:]18:59
Wizardand average Wizard too18:59
romeyrosystemclient: totally agree with you18:59
systemclienttoday, I think Windows has some hurdles that average people cannot easily overcome … like anti-virus, program update18:59
systemclientwith Ubuntu Software Center, Canonical did a good job towards Bug #119:00
WizardWizards prefer apt-get ;)19:00
BluesKajWizard, don't give us kubuntu users a bad rep :)19:03
xdunlapxi prefer apt-get, too. but sometimes just browsing the software center i find apps/games i want to install. so i do use the software center.19:04
WizardI don't even know where to find software center19:05
rorkI prefer apt-get also, but I'm happy there's a couple of other clients available for people with different wishes :)19:05
WizardMuon? it's this?19:05
BluesKajnothing wrong with using a package manager as a reference for certain packages and related ones that apt-cache can't list19:05
genii-aroundWizard: Yeah, Muon is the new one.19:06
BluesKajWizard, being a purist is fine bur we don't need to know that , we're here to help not show our cli purity badges :)19:06
Wizardnah, I installed kubuntu 2 days ago, so.. I just didn't know about muon19:07
BluesKajyeah, gentoo guy19:07
xdunlapxhow long has muon been a part of kubuntu?19:08
Wizardhmm?19:08
xdunlapxi'm new to kubuntu19:08
xdunlapxthough ive used linux for many years19:08

xdunlapxkde forums is that on kde.org?19:10
Wizardyup19:10
xdunlapxI believe i did join but i haven't read around it much.19:11
hexacodehey you guys...back with my cron issue...ive narrowed down the problem...my cron file has a simple command "/bin/bash /home/user/terminal.sh"   i get a permission denied whenever trying to run the same command manually from my var directory...wats going on?19:11
hexacodebasically i think i need my crons to run as root..how do i do that?19:12
xdunlapxyou need permissions to run anything in the /var directory since it's a system directory19:12
Wizardhmm, it depends what does this command do19:13
yofelhexacode: if you want logfile to be in /var - yes then the script needs to run as root19:13
yofelhexacode: you can edit the system crontab if you need that19:13
genii-aroundWizard: It just echos date plus name like wildebeast into a file19:13
yofelhexacode: but the way you did it, it should've written into $HOME/logfile - which should work19:14

canis_Has anyone been having issues with 11.10 where they have to reboot from time to time on a Dell laptop?21:47
canis_i mean dragon player doesn't want to wrok right, ARK doesn't want to work right...sometimes it'll just log me off for no apparant reason.21:48
darthanubisKGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work21:49
jmichaelxcanis_: i personally get along much better with file-roller22:01
jmichaelxcanis_: also, i would recommend using smplayer over dragon player22:02

ToastI'm trying to rule out user error, but I somehow managed to format my home partition whilst installing Kubuntu 11.10, even though I explicitly didn't tick format. Any ideas how it could have happened?22:36
TheEvilPhoenixuser error :P22:37
TheEvilPhoenixlol user error would be the greatest probability of being the reason22:37
VKHi, I have an small and stupid question: How do I run my compiled Hello World Program?22:38
VKI wrote a small hello world Programm and even managed to compile it but I can't run it, it always say "Command not found"22:38
moetunesVK:  use the full path to it22:38
TheEvilPhoenix^22:38
VKwell I will try22:39
ToastIf I had accidently changed the file system format without ticking the format box, would it format anyway?22:39
VKHey it worked thanks22:41
moetunesnp22:41
VKIs there maybe a faster way than writing the whole path everytime?22:41
moetunesuse the tab key22:42
moetunes!tab22:42
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.22:42
moetunesor cd to the dir the file is in22:42
moetunesor move the executable into PATH22:42
VKok thanks if I will have more questions I will just ask you again :)22:43
VKHi, another Question: Where can I change the Resolution?23:02

KeiyentaiHello23:34
mase_workHello23:35
kirohola, soy nuevo alguien podria ayudarme?23:36
kirohi, im new on this, somebody can help me?23:38
KeiyentaiWhats your question Kiro23:40
kiroi just installed kubuntu 11.0423:41
kiroi dont know how does this work, how do i install programs23:41
Linkmasterkiro: you can use the muon software system, found in the kmenu-> applications -> system -> muon software center23:42
KeiyentaiAre you like completely new to Linux in general or just Kubuntu/Ubuntu?23:43
kironew in linux23:44
kirowhat is better kubuntu or ubuntu, or what is the difference?23:45
mase_workkiro: they have different styles of user interfaces23:46
mase_workkubuntu uses KDE as it's desktop environment and Ubuntu uses Unity23:47
mase_workwhich one is better comes down to how you would like to use your computer.23:47
KeiyentaiIf you are new to Linux/Kubuntu I would highly suggest the forums23:48
KeiyentaiTons of helpful info and good advise23:48
kirocan u explain in other words?23:48
KeiyentaiKDE/Gnome/Unity comes down to how you like Linux to look and function. KDE is more of a Windows like look. Gnome [older] is kind of like Classic Mac and Unity is similar to Netbook layouts.23:49
KeiyentaiI personally perfer KDE. It has a lot of cool widgets you can add. Its fast, easy to use imho23:49
KeiyentaiI am not a big fan of Unity hence why I switched back to Kubuntu23:50
mase_workgenerally people who prefer KDE will use Kubuntu23:50
mase_workthose that prefer unity will use Ubuntu23:50
mase_workbut they are essentially the same under the hood23:50
kirook, im trying to install mozilla, i've installed, and i can run it, but how do i make an acces or something like that in the menu23:51
mase_workhow did you install it ?23:52
kiroit says something about extract23:52
mase_workinstalling software under linux is much easier / simpler than under osx / windows. You don't have to trawl around the internet looking for software23:52
mase_workyou can get all the software from the software center23:52
kirowhere is it?23:52
Keiyentaior apt-get if terminal dosn't scare you23:53
mase_work<Linkmaster> kiro: you can use the muon software system, found in the kmenu-> applications -> system -> muon software center23:53
LinkmasterKeiyentai: technically, windows looks like KDE =P and Mac looks like Gnome(cause the great KDE/Gnome came before mac and windows started looking anywhere decent)23:53
kiroit isnt there23:53
Keiyentaitrue23:53
Linkmasterkiro: I suggest you install firefox through the firefox installer, or use rekonq, the default webbrowser(rekonq is doing very nicely now, it works very well)23:54
LinkmasterBut if you use a bunch of addons, the firefox installer can be found in the kmenu -> applications(which can be found on the bottom of the menu) -> internet(one of the options to pick from) -> firefox web browser installer23:55
LinkmasterThe kmenu is the menu in the lower-left corner that has the big "K" with the gear around it23:55
kirothere isnt mozilla in internet23:56
kiroi can access but using the folder with the star, and then in documents, there is installed mozilla23:57
kirohow do i change it to kmenu?23:57
xdunlapxkiro, it might say Web Browser and underneath that title it shows Firefox23:57
LinkmasterThat is possible23:57
LinkmasterBut kiro, the panel along the the bottom of the screen? has the clock, and the little do-dads and such? on the far left of that panel, there is a big K. That is the kmenu23:58
