[00:04] So... installing Kubuntu 11.10 on my workstation with a nVidia card and Intel SSD... everything went great until trying to use the binary nvidia-settings which evidently doesn't install the prerequisite "python-gtk2" to actually SAVE the configuration when changed.... and it only lasted about 3 boots until I had a 51GB ".xsession-errors" file that filled my drive not allowing X to start. [00:04] seriously I had to remove the file and link /dev/null to .xsession-errors as to not fill my drive again [00:05] antonio_: sorry you can ask in #samba as well. [00:05] rotten777: install python-gtk2 then? [00:05] Daskreech it is fixed already... I was just amazed how terrible an experience 11.10 has been [00:06] why isn't python-gtk2 installed with nvidia-settings [00:06] rotten777: I'm not sure. Ask nvidia [00:06] nVidia configures apt package requirements for Kubuntu?

[00:14] I've not had any [00:14] though I open it maybe once a month [00:14] I think thats what was filling my .xsession-errors file. I'm almost scared to bring it back from /dev/null.

[00:35] vehemoth: I'm ok [00:35] rotten777: the file [00:35] no i deleted it [00:35] but upon googling it's a common problem [00:36] Daskreech: that's good [00:39] rotten777: yeah but still would be nice to know what was causing it [00:40] i'll remove the symlink and let it fill up and come back on here once it's got something to report [00:42] You can just monitor it once it's like 500 megs to one gigglebyte it's already way too big. You can copy it and resymlink [00:43] it went from 0 to 51GB in less than an hour [00:43] i'd imagine it's a looped error [00:43] but i will keep an eye and come back when i have a good idea what it is [00:50] ok [01:00] Daskreech it started filling up with nepomuk data... I don't have nepomuk set to run at startup but evidently it is being referenced [01:01] Daskreech nevermind that was another file I was tailing [01:05] rotten777: which file? [01:09] last time I had .xsession-errors grow to 62 GBs it was nepomuk and akonadi fighting === ubuntu is now known as bachroxx [01:20] Hi, i need help. I installed kubuntu 11.10 yesterday on my netbook, but it crashed 4 times and i cant figure out why. The Screen turns black, a lot of text scrolls through the window and it ends with "panic occured; switching to text console" [01:21] i cant find a log of any of the crashes, but im fairly new to linux, so i might miss something obvious [01:22] google doesnt help much, there are various threads of people who get a similiar error message, but it doesnt seem related as my crash isnt really reproducable..

[06:17] do you know the model number, if so you can usually search for it and find something [06:18] alternatively you can install it and a capture program and try it out [06:49] vehemoth: It looks like my card isn't well supported, at least for tv input. I think I'll just move the card to an old legacy Win2000 box I keep around.

It occured at 09:41 but .xsession-errors starts after that [08:50] ryrych: when it crashes you'll have to go to a tty and backup the file from there afaik [08:50] before you start X again [08:51] well_laid_lawn: the problem is it restarts automatically [08:51] and return to kdm [08:52] ah, I see [08:52] from tty [08:54] ryrych: you can get to a tty and back? === star is now known as Guest33934 [09:01] well_laid_lawn: I’ve got it [09:01] but don't know what to look for [09:01] it’s third time in a row today ;( [09:03] ryrych: I'd start from the last line and work back [09:05] well_laid_lawn: I did, but it doesn't tell me anything.

[12:47] hello i have a little problem in libre office, those little help texts when the mouse curser stays for a while on a button do have black letters on gray backround, i would like to change the letters to white [12:49] i think the problem is the black letters are from the gtk theme and the gray backround from KDE [12:54] HI all, I need to install the libqt-mysql:386 libraries. However they depend on libmysqlclient which is apparently not yet multiarch ... what can I do ? [12:55] annalena, I'm using kde theme and the default is blck lettering on whatever colour theme you've chosen [12:55] black [12:56] u19809, install ia32-libs if you haven't already , but that's no gurantee either [12:56] ia32-libs is that still relevant for 11.10 ? I understand 32 bit support is handled differently ... [12:57] ia32 is installed [12:57] annalena; you can change the colors in system-settings-->appearence-->colors [12:57] google earth pretends to have a 64 bit version but it brings it's own 32 bit libs , but still doesn't work on my 64 bit pc [12:58] joe___: libre office as an gtk programm so im not sur eif the kde colorssettings will apply [12:59] u19809, I guess multiarch support doesn't work for everything [13:00] probably but that means I cannot install qt32 ;( === spacebug is now known as spacebug- [13:11] honestly ... this akonadi nepomuk stuff pisses me off enormously ... my system is SLOW and I cannot get kate to open a file anymore ...

[13:21] spacebug-: use another browser for me rekonq is not a serious browser [13:24] joe___: yes. Peace-: I normally don't use it but I talked to a person here last night who said there was a problem with kget and rekonq so I tried and it crashed, then I tried after removing kget and same still crash [13:26] spacebug-: i don't really like rekonq is not a browser even for this kind of problem ... [13:27] yeah well, just thought maybe the developers would like to know. Maybe they already do === toshiba is now known as Crash_ubuntu [14:10] off I go [14:21] I recently removed lightdm, but kdm didn't automatically step in.

[15:25] BluesKaj: it didn't [15:26] ok martin__ , bummer ..maybe you have to use the enter key after using printscreen [15:27] BluesKaj: you mean it'd press "Copy" in KSnapshot? [15:28] hello everyone [15:28] it might save the image until you get to the desktop and then you could "save as" === gaurav__ is now known as Guest30514 [15:29] hey phoenix_firebrd [15:29] BluesKaj: hi [15:29] BluesKaj: hm yeah good point [15:30] martin__, heh , I'm just guessing [15:30] http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/taking-a-kdm-screenshot/ [15:30] I'll try that [15:32] aw it's outdated [15:32] it might work tho [15:32] the file doesn't exist [15:35] hi all, once I could get the Website preview for sites linked to in the conversation in Quassel by mouse-hovering over links, but now it's not working anymore.

[16:47] rekonq cannot access any urls ... get undefined symbol in kio_http.so ... using 11.10 [16:50] hi all. I am thinking of installing kubuntu via SSH on LVM having a minimal KDE only. Would the alternate CD iso work in this case? I can't find much details on what the alternate CD can or cannot do. [16:51] or I should ask if the kubuntu alternate CD would provide me with such option. or would another route be easier :) [17:05] how do i turn off akonadi and nepomuk? i get a ton of notifications every time i boot and i dont really need either on my laptop [17:15] seele, you could remove akonadi.conf...rather drastic but I have it turned off anyway [17:17] seele, how about going into the Service Manager and turning off Nepomuk and akonadi? [17:18] anyone else noticing random times where thumbnail previews stop working in the taskbar after a reboot or logging out and back in? [17:23] seele, is it that annoying mail dispatcher agent notification? if so , rm ~/.config/akonadi/* [17:24] BluesKaj: erinaceus: thanks, that sounds like the solution [17:39] hi... I've upgraded to 11.10, now sound is crazy, when I play some KDE sound (for example with Phonon config dialog) Pulseaudio mutes channel [17:39] if you umute channel you can hear the sound for less than a second, just until Pulseaudio mutes it again :( [17:39] weird, isn't? [17:52] without PulseAudio Amarok can't play sounds.. well , Amarok says is playing, but no sound [17:55] sanzante, try unmuting with alsamixer [17:55] done, no luck [17:55] seems that pulse audio has more priority [17:56] sanzante, open kmixer then check your soundcard priority [17:57] I've disabled the Nvidia HDMI device and it's only enabled the internal audiocard [17:57] in phonon dialog is the first device [17:57] if I play the test sound I can hear it if I unmute channel... until pulseaudio mutes it [17:58] I suppose it's pulseaudio because unistalling it there's no weird mutting behavior [17:58] mhh [17:58] I can unmute channel using pulse audio.. ok.. it keeps unmuted.. until I push phonon test sound: cahnel is muted instantly [17:59] cool, isn't? :D [18:02] sanzante, rather weird [18:02] sanzante, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1145603 [18:02] I read in the changelog that KDE 4.7 improved PulseAudio support... is better to just unisntall PulseAudio?

[18:18] mhm [18:19] one i was creating [18:19] TheEvilPhoenix, check for syntax/etc.. errors [18:19] oh lol [18:19] i found the reason [18:19] >.> [18:19] the thing accidentially deleted the .xml [18:19] explains why everything exploded [18:19] * TheEvilPhoenix slaps his computer [18:20] ah, glad you found out [18:20] yeah, i needed the GUI to do that though :P [18:21] next time you can edit /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc [18:21] and look for the THEME line [18:21] yep [18:21] (the other reason i rebooted into the GUI... the tty's keep throwing USB errors - a known bug on this hardware) [18:22] aww [18:22] which messes with irssi [18:22] brb trying this again [18:25] w00t it worked :P [18:26] nice [18:30] any one der 4 me [18:30] lethu: tbph, i thought my system was fubar'd for a bit :P [18:30] lethu: is there any way to screenshot the login screen pre-login?

[19:04] hi [19:05] anybody had a problem with knetworkmanager in which it shows there's connection, but the computer doesn't get an IP? [19:08] antlarr, run sudo dhclient eth0 , for ethernet or wlan0 for wifi [19:15] antlarr, afterwards to find your pc IP , run ifconfig , then the IP is, inet addr:192.168.X.X [19:21] BluesKaj: yes, I know that, but I don't seem to get any ip from dhclient [19:23] ant you're connected dhclient doesn't show an IP , but one does get assigned if it shows in inet address [19:23] antlarr,^ [19:24] 169.254.8.146 [19:25] that doesn't seem too right to me [19:25] route -n . what does that give? [19:30] I did a dhclient and I'm waiting for it to finish [19:30] as soon as it finish, I'll see the ip and the route [19:35] hi, is there a way to hide the Hibernate and Sleep options from the K-menu, so that I won't accidentally choose them (like i did, and the machine wouldn't wake up)? [19:35] 169.254 looks like a subnet [19:36] BluesKaj: I got the same ip, and I got two routes [19:36] 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0 [19:36] 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1003 0 0 wlan0 [19:39] antlarr, what does route give ? [19:40] just what I wrote [19:40] those two lines [19:41] yofel: Well, a bit of Googling finds this: -DWITH_WEBKIT=OFF Disable WebKit support. You will not have webpage previews on hovering URLs. So, it appears that a recent compilation of Quassel utilized this option, and now we don't get webpage previews anymore. [19:44] antlarr, try this , it will show beside inet for eth0 , ip addr [19:44] Snowhog: which release are you on? [19:46] Snowhog: ah, confirmed on oneiric (shows as disabled in the buildlog) [19:48] yofel: Kubuntu 11.10 [19:48] also konverstion won't launch the default browser unless it's on the same desktop , it changes the browser to the url , but one has to click on it in the taskbar [19:50] Snowhog: can you file a bug about it please? [19:50] ubuntu-bug quassel [19:51] Hi all, how to install KDE UFW (Firewall)? [19:52] yofel: As it was disabled during compilation, it isn't a bug per se. My guess is that the loss of this 'feature' has already been commented on. If the developers decide that it should/needs to be reenabled, it will be in a subsequent update. [19:53] alexdevillx: ufw is already installed, but not enabled, by default in *buntu versions. [19:53] Snowhog: it wasn't *intentionally* disabled during build, quassel is built with: [19:53] dh_auto_configure -Skde -- -DWITH_KDE=ON -DWANT_MONO=ON -DEMBED_DATA=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debugfull [19:53] i need GUI for UFW [19:54] alexdevillx: not in the archive [19:55] alexdevillx, gufw [19:55] alexdevillx, it uses gtk tho [19:55] it doesnt work [19:55] first it uses gnome icons [19:56] kdesu gufw === gaurav__ is now known as Guest80242 [19:56] yofel: "(shows as disabled in the buildlog)" -- but you show "dh_auto_configure -Skde -- -DWITH_KDE=ON -DWANT_MONO=ON -DEMBED_DATA=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debugfull", so are you saying that the option was 'left out' of the build procedure? [19:56] alexdevillx, no need to use kdesu [19:56] still it doesnt work [19:56] alexdevillx, you can unlock it from gui [19:56] how [19:56] alexdevillx, does it throw you errors? [19:56] Snowhog: I was talking about the cmake output, which is: "-- QtWebKit not found, disabling WebKit support" - bug IMO [19:57] alexdevillx, there is an unlock button iirc [19:57] i'll how [19:58] http://s50.radikal.ru/i127/1110/d9/961bebef10d1.png [19:59] alexdevillx, it's the bottom right corner button [20:01] hello [20:01] ____________ [20:01] ok, i'm bad in english [20:01] i added some rules [20:01] what is deny [20:01] allow [20:01] reject [20:01] ... [20:02] whats the difference [20:02] alexdevillx: in... iptables? [20:02] yes [20:02] isnt deny "drop"? [20:02] * TheEvilPhoenix has never seen "DENY" as a valid target [20:02] anyways... [20:02] its firewall [20:02] alexdevillx: "ALLOW" is just that - it does not block whatever matches on the rule. [20:03] alexdevillx: DROP (DENY?) will just drop the packet and then it disappears. [20:03] i need to accept only apps in rule [20:03] nothing more [20:03] alexdevillx: REJECT, iirc, requires another module, but rejects the packet, and then sends back a reject reason. [20:03] TheEvilPhoenix: UFW [20:03] yofel: oic [20:03] he said iptables ;P [20:04] yofel: isnt UFW just a frontend for iptables [20:04] UFW [20:04] ? [20:04] TheEvilPhoenix, it is [20:04] lethu: i see [20:04] alexdevillx: for what its worth, `man ufw` [20:04] it defines what everything does iirc [20:04] ^ [20:04] I bad english [20:05] lethu: then shouldnt DENY in ufw add a DROP rule in iptables? [20:05] lethu: as well, REJECT would add a REJECT rule in iptables, no? [20:05] * TheEvilPhoenix works solely with iptables because he's fscking epic that way [20:05] ok [20:05] it does, the default "safe" config for ufw is DENY Incoming // ALLOW Outgoing [20:06] ok [20:06] DENY = Green = Good = Your system is protected [20:06] yup [20:06] lethu: iptables-equivalents: iptables -P INPUT DROP / iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT ? [20:06] if you're not doing anything complex, I'd recommend arno-iptables-firewall [20:06] allow = firewall tured off [20:07] TheEvilPhoenix, I believe so [20:07] ok, its enough [20:07] what is iptables? [20:07] I have the same stuff on android [20:07] alexdevillx, gufw --> ufw --> Iptables [20:08] where can i find iptables [20:08] just install it, let debconf manage it, say which external interfaces you have and which ports should be open, and that's it [20:08] alexdevillx, iptables is already installed since you are using ufw to control it [20:08] omg [20:08] firefox doesnt work [20:08] alexdevillx, ufw is an interface to iptables [20:09] alexdevillx, allow outgoing [20:09] alexdevillx, then it should work [20:09] irc [20:09] why it works? [20:09] different port === jarda_ is now known as jaro [20:11] oh [20:11] and which? [20:11] hmm [20:11] hell [20:12] alexdevillx, you can check which port in your irc client [20:13] alexdevillx, the port the client connects through to the server [20:13] i have added 8080 and 80 outgoin' ingoin' and firefox desnt work [20:15] Does anyone here have experience with (k)ubuntu 11.04 64 bit and javax.smartcardio? Somehow TerminalFactory.getDefault().terminals().list() always returns an empty list. The card reader is a simple USB PC/SC card reader, an OmniKey 3121, and it shows up fine with lsusb. [20:15] alexdevillx, try ($ufw disable) then ($ufw enable) [20:15] alexdevillx, in a console [20:15] alexdevillx, it sounds like you're overcomplicating things [20:16] Unless you have a lot of users on the inside you don't trust, there isn't that much reason to tough outgoing traffic at all [20:16] s/tough/touch/ === gaurav__ is now known as Guest45052 [20:18] I think I have a pretty hard problem...: I have a new SSD installed on an old laptop. It installs fine and runs for a while. Eventually, it seems like the filesystem (ext4) is getting corrupted, and finally it is not even recognized by grub, at which point the system becomes unbootable. I think the SSD is to blame, but I should find out for sure before returning it [20:19] it doesnt work still [20:20] what is the dns port [20:20] Ha got it I'm one step further. I was missing libpcsclite-dev. Now I get sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: SCARD_E_NO_READERS_AVAILABLE - that should be not so difficult to debug. [20:21] alexdevillx, I don't know anything about ufw, but I can suggest arno-iptables-firewall [20:21] very simple and works great [20:21] that is, very simple if you do only simple things [20:22] if all you want to do is to firewall one machine, you can't go wrong with it [20:22] KjetilK: screenshot? [20:22] alexdevillx, no screenshot, it is just a script [20:22] ok [20:23] what are the HTTP ports? [20:23] 80 and 8080 [20:23] why doesnt firefox work [20:23] KjetilK, ext4 is known to behave incorrectly with some western digital drives (which use a feature I can't recall ftm) and also ecryptfs [20:23] you install it, answer two or three questions and that's it [20:23] lethu, hmm, OK, I use ecryptfs [20:23] lethu, it isn't the ATA TRIM feature? [20:24] KjetilK, iirc it's a sensor technology [20:24] as in movement sensor [20:24] for chock prevention [20:25] lethu, OK, this is a OCZ device, I don't think it has that [20:26] KjetilK, ext4 and ecryptfs has issues on many brands of hd's tho, not only western digital's with that feature [20:26] It would be nice if I could repair it from the grub rescue prompt, but it doesn't even detect it is an ext4 filesystem [20:26] hmmm, ok [20:27] any ideas what I can do to try to get grub to see the filesystem as an ext4 file system and perhaps get it mounted? [20:28] KjetilK, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/372014 [20:28] Launchpad bug 509180 in linux (Ubuntu Maverick) "duplicate for #372014 ecryptfs sometimes seems to add trailing garbage to encrypted files" [Undecided,Incomplete] [20:28] KjetilK, read #2 [20:28] * KjetilK looks [20:28] oh [20:29] it works [20:29] Found it [20:29] it worked as v6 [20:29] KjetilK, I believe you will have to mount your ext4 partition from a live-cd environment [20:29] alexdevillx, gratz [20:30] lethu, I'll try [20:30] whats the difference between tcp and udp? [20:30] alexdevillx, different protocols used by different services [20:30] IIRC, the live CD didn't recognize the file system either, though [20:31] alexdevillx, UDP is a much simpler protocol, both are low-level stuff [20:31] for one thing, TCP requires traffic both ways, UDP just one way [20:31] KjetilK, you should try looking for a data recovery suite/live-cd [20:32] I don't have any in mind right now except perhaps GRC's recovery cd [20:32] whats better Deny or reject [20:33] lethu, I'm running rescatux right now [20:33] hey [20:33] KjetilK, any chances? [20:33] can anyone hear me [20:33] alexdevillx, yes? [20:33] i didnt add 8001 rule in gufw why irc still works? [20:34] sh** [20:34] alexdevillx, because you probably allowed outgoing packets [20:34] reject [20:34] cant get my firefox work [20:35] lethu, trying to fsck it now [20:35] alexdevillx, remove any outgoing rules on port 80 [20:38] irc [20:38] it works? [20:38] lethu, I don't think it is the ecryptfs problem, I haven't seen anything about that, and it appears to be fixed in Oneiric [20:38] alexdevillx, yup, you're still here :-) [20:38] lol [20:39] removed all 80 rules and it works now [20:39] lol [20:39] :-) [20:40] I would recommend for you to only have rules on incoming [20:40] lol [20:40] KjetilK, it was just a supposition, since I met those problems and fixed them by removing ecryptfs, and always it's not the first time I had such issues with new filesystems [20:41] * KjetilK nods [20:41] KjetilK, I had used reiserfs previously and it had killed my hd [20:41] I'd like to use ext4 since it does have ATA TRIM support, which the SSD supports... [20:41] I guess I can live without ecryptfs [20:42] I'm not really paranoid, I just pretend to be :-) [20:42] Oh, I did install with XFS and it still crashed on me [20:42] KjetilK, if you wanna be sure about ecryptfs behaving correctly with your ext4 fs, try installing bitcoin and letting it run for a while [20:42] lol [20:43] will do it tomorrow [20:43] KjetilK, while watching the kern log [20:43] lethu, OK [20:43] KjetilK, if it doesn't throw any erros then you can rest on both your ears [20:43] :-) [20:43] is anyone using quassel with kubuntu 11.10? [20:44] chkrootkit [20:45] I like kde more than gnome [20:45] and backtrack is awesome [20:46] I documented the solution to my smartcard issue here: http://www.riedquat.de/blog/2011-10-30-05 [20:46] ARP P01S0N [20:48] I have a fairly good nvidia card and the nvidia binary from the repos. I can play games in Windows at 1080 in the highest details possible at 60fps *but* I cannot figure out how to play a .mkv file in VLC without it looking all choppy. What's going on? [20:48] Anybody likes rootkits? =) [20:48] lethu, I managed to mount it at least :-) [20:48] KjetilK, nice good job [20:52] Rootkit foudn [20:52] unhide.rb [20:53] lethu, thanks! and the filesystem has lots of errors according to fsck... [20:53] KjetilK, yw [20:53] Ok, i'm gnome [20:53] Gone [20:54] alexdevillx, bye [20:54] Всем пока [20:56] this filesystem is just totally messed up. I just hope I can get the logs out to do some forensics... [20:59] KjetilK: i take it you corrupted the fs? [20:59] TheEvilPhoenix, yeah, presumably [21:00] apparently, /var/log hasn't survived [21:00] did someone take rm -rf to your drive or something? [21:00] :P [21:00] TheEvilPhoenix, I think that it is actually the SSD that is to blame, but I need to be pretty sure about it before returning it [21:00] hehe [21:00] nope :-) [21:01] after my latest attempt, it worked pretty well for a couple of days, but suddenly things started to go wrong [21:01] the OS remounted ro and as far as I could see at that point, nothing essential was missing [21:03] is any useful forensic information stored anywhere else in the file system other than /var/log? [21:12] I have a fairly good nvidia card and the nvidia binary from the repos. I can play games in Windows at 1080 in the highest details possible at 60fps *but* I cannot figure out how to play a .mkv file in VLC without it looking all choppy. What's going on? [21:17] i1920x1080, which driver are you using on Linux? [21:33] i1920x1080, try this, go to System Settings --> Desktop Effects --> Advanced (tab) --> uncheck "suspend desktop effects for fullscreen windows" [21:34] i1920x1080, if that doesn't work try disabling Vsync in the same page [21:34] i1920x1080, also check your are using the additional drivers nvidia proprietary drivers [21:36] lethu: I'll go through that list in a moment, thank you! [21:36] i1920x1080, np [21:49] one should take a hint and throw a disk away when fsck crashes with a bus error ;-/ [22:11] need some info on kjots [22:11] !info kjots [22:11] kjots (source: kdepim): note-taking utility. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.7.2+git111007-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 348 kB, installed size 1508 kB [22:11] well_laid_lawn: hey [22:12] hello :) [22:12] well_laid_lawn: i need to know about the new kjots [22:12] I dunno anything about it [22:12] what were you looking for? [22:15] well_laid_lawn: there are three categories in kjots namely notes, local notes and akonadi ... , previously there was only one category. The new changes are confusing and they are not documented(I couldnt find them)yet. [22:16] phoenix_firebrd: mabe try in #kde if there's no documentation yet [22:17] well_laid_lawn: do you know where the online documentation is? I couldnt find them [22:17] not offhand [22:17] man, I just went through a bunch of settings to try and get vlc to play smooth video and it still looks choppy when things move fast on screen. I've got driver 280.13 from Kubuntu repos. I got a GTX 460. One screen and effects are top notched. But I've tried suspending in full screen to outright turning effects off. I've tried extreme performance as a mode, nothing works :( [22:17] well_laid_lawn: ok, let me try in #kde [22:18] videos still look a bit choppy when things start moving fast :./ [22:18] phoenix_firebrd: found this - http://userbase.kde.org/KJots [22:20] well_laid_lawn: no useful info is available [22:20] i1920x1080: have you tried smplayer? [22:22] no [22:22] I can try and see what happens [22:23] i1920x1080: vlc is not as good as smplayer when playing hd videos with vdpau [22:24] phoenix_firebrd: it's worth a try [22:24] installing now [22:24] i1920x1080: ok [22:24] i1920x1080: have you install the vdpau lib [22:25] not sure, I doubt it if it didn't come in as a dependency [22:26] phoenix_firebrd: you're right [22:27] smplayer is doing something right. something vlc is getting wrong [22:27] that's kind of sad. I like vlc too... damn :/ [22:27] video is much better :| [22:28] i1920x1080: everyone like vlc, its the way vlc internally works makes it to consume lot of cpu thereby reducing the performance [22:28] i1920x1080: enjoy [22:28] i1920x1080: have you set the video output to vdpau in smaplyer> [22:28] no [22:28] just played the video [22:28] I'll look for that [22:30] i1920x1080: you have to set it to get the actual gpu acceleration , also check that if you have installed libvdpau1 [22:30] phoenix_firebrd: I just did that, changed it from xv and there was no noticeable difference [22:31] i1920x1080: may be you didnt install libvdpau1 === anonymous_occupy is now known as anonymous__ === anonymous__ is now known as anonymous_occupy === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFIsh [23:44] How do i change the status of a bug in a kde bug report === BarkingFIsh is now known as BarkingFish
