[00:28] <redeight> anyont here good with tablets (wacom driver)?
[00:32] <EvilResistance> redeight:  what about it
[00:32] <EvilResistance> wacom tablets work ootb since 11.04
[00:33] <EvilResistance> well at least a majority of them do
[00:33] <redeight> yes, i was atempting to fix my issue where touch stops working after resuming from sleep and not i dont have any touch at all
[00:33] <EvilResistance> i think that's because you went into sleep mode
[00:34] <EvilResistance> its a known bug that sleep mode sometimes breaks that stuff.
[00:34] <EvilResistance> to my knowledge, there's no solution except a reboot
[00:34] <redeight> but even after reboot i have no more touch. befor, when i rebooted i still had touch
[00:34] <redeight> is there a way to restore the wacom driver that comes in 11.10?
[00:48] <EvilResistance> redeight:  sec
[00:48] <redeight> ok
[00:49] <EvilResistance> holy god...
[00:49] <EvilResistance> remind me NEVER to do `modprobe -l`
[00:49] <EvilResistance> !wacom
[00:49] <EvilResistance> ugh
[00:49] <EvilResistance> no factoid
[00:49] <EvilResistance> >.>
[00:50] <EvilResistance> um...
[00:50] <EvilResistance> redeight:  all i can *guess* is unplug your tablet, boot into your system, login, then try plugging the tablet back in
[00:50] <Unit193> Grep is your friend...
[00:51] <EvilResistance> Unit193:  okay, you tell me that after you have 2500 lines flood Konsole and crash it
[00:51] <redeight> if i only knew what to grep...
[00:52] <EvilResistance> redeight:  try this: sudo modprobe wacom
[00:52] <redeight> its a touch screen tablet pc (HP tmh worked 2t) and touc
[00:52] <EvilResistance> oh wait its a tablet pc?
[00:52] <redeight> yea
[00:52] <EvilResistance> and you've got a WACOM pen/touch tablet hooked up to it?
[00:52] <EvilResistance> or smth
[00:53] <redeight> its the convertable screen laptop tablet
[00:53] <EvilResistance> ...
[00:53] <redeight> HM tm2t tablet laptop
[00:53] <redeight> geez... *HP
[00:53]  * EvilResistance initiates massive google search
[00:53] <EvilResistance> FOR WHAT ITS WORTH...
[00:53] <redeight> heh, been googing for an hour...
[00:53] <EvilResistance> <(ID-)redeight> anyont here good with tablets (wacom driver)?  <-- HP TABLET LAPTOP IS NOT WACOM
[00:53] <EvilResistance> god damned caps
[00:54]  * EvilResistance kicks his keyboard
[00:54] <EvilResistance> now before i go into twitchy, burn-the-planet confusionrage, clarify something
[00:55] <EvilResistance> redeight:  what COMPUTER are you running these items off of, and what WACOM tablet/device is connected to that COMPUTER?
[00:55] <redeight> the touch screen built into the tablet is a wacom device, it worked great when i firct installed but would stop working when you resume from sleep. i was trying to possibly compile a newer one (read 11.10 came with 1.11.0 and they have 1.11.1 wacom driver) and i peobebly mad a bad wacom.ko
[00:56] <EvilResistance> *twitches*
[00:58] <redeight> in kool aid man voice *OH YA!!!!*
[00:58]  * EvilResistance pulls out an AK-47, and decides to take a spontaneous trip to the tactical training facility
[01:02] <OerHeks> redeight, maybe the guys in #Ubuntu-touch know a fix .. but i agree with EvilResistance, it could be a known issue
[01:03] <redeight> cool thanks
[01:43] <hecacode> hey i cant find sendmail.mc in 10.10 wats going on
[02:21] <Linkmaster> So..I'm trying to install 11.10 on a lenovo s10e, and before I wiped the system on it(a standard from the kid I got it from) I noticed that one of the partitions was oddly missing, and he had brought me the computer where it wouldn't boot with a grub error, 16 I do believe. He wanted me to put kubuntu on it, so I did. Everytime I run the installer, it catches on creating the partitions, stating that it fails to create an ext3/4
[02:22] <Linkmaster> there indicate that something on the harddrive may be broken?
[02:22] <Linkmaster> oh...now I have an input/output error on /dev/sda
[02:23] <Linkmaster> Something tells me this drive is utterly borked
[02:23] <Linkmaster> and retrying/ignoring cause the message to come back up. I do believe this drive is borked
[02:51] <semitones> Hey is there anyone on here also in #kde?

[04:33] <bkovacs> I wonder what the plans will be for Kubuntu 12.04.
[04:38] <Nickmh> has anyone tried the winodws 7 or Xp themes for KDE?
[04:38] <Nickmh> Hi All by the way :)
[04:39] <Nickmh> I'm tryin' to get the entire office over to Linux, Debian/Ubuntu etc.  But they're gonns freak out with all the new stuff :-)
[04:39] <Nickmh> gonns = gonna
[04:41] <Nickmh> BKovacs, the only problem I see coming is the potential for Ubuntu to be bloated and basically become a processor, hard drive and bandwidth space hog as is windows

[06:41] <werner_> Hi, I have Kubuntu 11.10 and a bug is causing the task manager on the taskbar to have blank spaces and use multiple rows (instead of one row) as in my settings. I googled and can only find complaints about this, no fixes though? Does anyone know of a way I can fix this myself, please
[07:03] <Num83rGuy_> Muon tells me that a package manager is running though one is not.
[07:06] <well_laid_lawn> !aptfix | Num83rGuy_
[07:08] <Num83rGuy_> OK thanks will do in a bit. using aptitude as a fall back at the moment.
[07:09] <well_laid_lawn> if aptitude works then the apt database isn't locked
[07:09] <well_laid_lawn> so running that command won't do anything
[07:09] <Num83rGuy_> Yeah doing an update with aptitude now.
[07:09] <well_laid_lawn> luck
[07:29] <dsaintz> hello everone
[09:48] <Aprendiz> hi all
[10:05] <Maxiride> hi all\ciao a tutti
[10:09] <Maxiride> anyone?7
[10:10] <well_laid_lawn> Maxiride: you need to just ask your question and be patient in support channels :)
[10:10] <well_laid_lawn> !ask
[10:10] <well_laid_lawn> !bot
[10:10] <well_laid_lawn> lag!
[10:10] <well_laid_lawn> !lag
[10:11] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[10:11] <Maxiride> ok ty. I'm pretty new on Kubuntu 11.10 and I don't understand the differences between the activities panel and the double desktop, they seem to provide differents workspace. But which is the differences?
[10:12] <well_laid_lawn> I don't use activities much but you can set up what applications to open with a activity
[10:13] <Maxiride> so it's like the star button in windows? There isn't already the K button to choose wich app to lunch?
[10:14] <well_laid_lawn> an activity you might have could be web where you have a twitter client and a browser open - that's the activity
[10:15] <well_laid_lawn> it opens several apps at once basically
[10:16] <Maxiride> aaah ok, now it's more clear
[10:16] <Maxiride> thank you
[10:17] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[10:44] <mtron2> hello! Is there a way to add custom keybindings for kde4 (i have them in a .khotkeys file) via the terminal?
[10:47] <mtron2> in kde3 i used 'usr/lib/kconf_update_bin/khotkeys_update --id <khotkeys file>' but it seems khotkeys_update is gone from kde4
[10:51] <katsrc> this is amazing: http://oxygenkde.altervista.org/exceptionsguide.html
[10:52] <katsrc> we should have this by default on Kubuntu
[10:52] <klein_> saludo a todos

[11:25] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:40] <Aprendiz> where can I configure trash folder in kmail? I can only do setting for draft and sent but not for delete
[11:40] <klein_> HELLOOOOO???
[11:43] <well_laid_lawn> klein_: hi ????
[11:48] <ahox> Hi, I have problems with kmail. It does not send emails after upgrading to kmail2. Also my .xsession-errors gets about 10 "akonadi_maildispatcher_agent(2521)/libakonadi: Resource id's don't match:  "akonadi_maildir_resource_2" "akonadi_maildir_resource_0"  per second.
[11:48] <ahox> "
[11:49] <well_laid_lawn> ahox: all I can suggest is try with a new user and see if the same error occurs
[11:49] <ahox> is there some way to completly remove the current kmail settings/account etc?
[11:50] <well_laid_lawn> the config might be in .kde I'm not on a kde box atm to check
[11:58] <werner_> Hi, I have Kubuntu 11.10 and a bug is causing the task manager on the taskbar to have blank spaces and use multiple rows (instead of one row) as in my settings.

[12:01] <BluesKaj> werner_, which kde version .4.7.2 ?
[12:02] <werner_> Hi BluesKaj yes, 4.7.2
[12:03] <BluesKaj> werner_, does resizing the panel affect the layout in the taskbar ?
[12:06] <zolfer> exit
[12:09] <TheLastProject> I can't install any software, as soon as I want to install something using Muon Software Centre (even after I just booted) I get "Another application seems to be using the package system at this time. You must close all other package managers before you will be able to install or remove any packages."
[12:10] <ahox> well_laid_lawn: it does work with a new user
[12:10] <BluesKaj> TheLastProject, did you try installing any apps in the terminal?
[12:11] <ahox> TheLastProject: try an apt-get install. This may tell you which program to run to fix the problem
[12:11] <ahox> something along the lines of dpkg --reconfigure -a
[12:12] <BluesKaj> TheLastProject, if you still have a problem , run this command in the terminal, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:12] <well_laid_lawn> ahox: then it must be something in your config ;)
[12:12] <TheLastProject> BluesKaj. ahox: It seems to work in the terminal, but trying to install LibreOffice through there tells me I have broken packages =/ It's the program I need installed so yeah =/ Which command should I use to fix that? =/
[12:12] <werner_> BluesKaj: Yes, as per normal. I can see all open aps, etc. Problem is simply 2 fold: 1) There are blank spaces (looks like invisible tasks) 2) There are multiple rows in the taskbar (by my settgins specified max 1 row). I have also seen that when  I close a window sometimes the space remains where the button was. It never "collapses"
[12:12] <ahox> well, yes - what I would like to know is how to remove my old config completly and redo everything
[12:13] <ahox> TheLastProject: What does an apt-get install say?
[12:14] <TheLastProject> ahox: http://paste.kde.org/142226/
[12:16] <ahox> which version of kubuntu are you running? And do you have some ppa's enabled?
[12:17] <ahox> It looks to me that the version 3.4.4~rc1 is not the official version
[12:17] <TheLastProject> ahox: Ah, I guess I should try removing the libreoffice PPA from my software sources list, forgot I have that there...
[12:19] <TheLastProject> ahox: Yep, that fixed it. Thanks a lot for the help!
[12:19] <TheLastProject> Thank you as well, BluesKaj.
[12:19] <BluesKaj> TheLastProject, ahox dexerves a cookie ! :)
[12:20] <BluesKaj> err deserves
[12:20]  * TheLastProject gives ahox a cookie
[12:21] <well_laid_lawn> !cookie | ahox
[12:21]  * ahox munching
[12:21] <BluesKaj> damn ppas are pita , they hang around like unwanted guests

[12:22] <progre55> hey guys, anyone else has problems with skype? from time to time it just freezes, and cant even kill it. have to kill -9
[12:22] <well_laid_lawn> see the warning
[12:22] <progre55> I'm guessing it has something to do with pulseaudio, but not sure
[12:22] <well_laid_lawn> try starting it from a terminal progre55 to catch any errors
[12:23] <progre55> good idea, thanks
[12:23] <well_laid_lawn> heh that's linux 101
[12:24] <well_laid_lawn> ;)
[12:24]  * BluesKaj slurps coffee
[12:25] <well_laid_lawn> got milk?
[12:28] <BluesKaj> well, I gave up on amarok , mislists some of my fav artists double cds and puts the same numbered songs together in a single playlist so I have two1s two 2s etc ...didn't realize the devs were trying to emulate the bugs from windows media player :)
[12:33] <Brace_Work> BluesKaj: banshee does that as well, drives me potty
[12:35] <BluesKaj> Brace_Work, yeah the amarok ppl told me it wasn't the app but the tags were attached in the wrong format whatever that may be , but it has to be edited to make it work . guess I should have learned more about the defaultn settings in amarok before I let it screw up the playlists
[12:37] <Kalidarn> does anyone else get crashes with plasma when logging in
[12:37] <Kalidarn> and logging out
[12:37] <Kalidarn> seems to be a great way to crash plasma otherwise it's pretty damn stable when it's running
[12:37] <Kalidarn> much more so than unity
[12:37] <BluesKaj> why can't there just be a simple player that doesn't treat the user like he needs help managing his music files without asking first :)
[12:38] <BluesKaj> Kalidarn, I get the odd crash when logging out , but not at login
[12:39] <well_laid_lawn> BluesKaj: I use  mplayer -ao alsa -shuffle -playlist ~/music/playlist.txt | egrep "Title|Artist" and it always works
[12:41] <BluesKaj> well_laid_lawn, I like the cli as much as the next guy , but I don't shuffle and really do prefer a gui for handling media
[12:41] <well_laid_lawn> it's the only one I've found that's consistently predictable
[12:41] <well_laid_lawn> and on that note
[13:06] <phunyguy_work> Hello, how can I make VPN connections persistent in network-manager? There is an option to "Connect Automatically" but I don't think it does anything.  Every time my network connection has a hiccup, the VPN disconnects.

[13:34] <ucenik19__> ...
[13:34] <jussi> I have no idea.
[13:34] <pangolin> you can't
[13:34] <ucenik19__> i am at school right now
[13:34] <ucenik19__> this computer
[13:34] <ucenik19__> \has flash
[13:34] <ucenik19__> and its 7.04
[13:34] <ucenik19__> but the other ones
[13:34] <ucenik19__> dont have and are the same
[13:34] <ucenik19__> so dont know how ....
[13:34] <pangolin> ask the school's network admin to do it
[13:35] <jussi> ucenik19__: seriously, we don't know - lots of things changed sinced 7.04 and I really don't remember. In addition, its no longer supported.  :(
[13:36] <ucenik19__> well why d hell did they put 7.04
[13:36] <pangolin> ask the school's network admin
[13:36] <jussi> ucenik19__: another question for your sysadmin :)
[13:36] <ucenik19__> ...
[13:37] <ucenik19__> how can i upgrade 7.04 without cd
[13:38] <jussi> +
[13:38] <pangolin> !eolupgrade
[13:38] <pangolin> !upgrade
[13:38] <ucenik19__> O.o
[13:38] <pangolin> !eol
[13:38] <pangolin> last link will tell you how.
[13:38] <ucenik19__> where should i type that
[13:39] <Quintasan> jussi: I don't want to be a pesimist, do you think upgrading from that will work?
[13:39] <pangolin> ucenik19__: you don,t type it. you click on the link and read
[13:39] <jussi> Quintasan: yeah, if you do it the eol releases way, all the way through all the releases...
[13:40] <Quintasan> Hmmm, it would be a valuable feedback if he got that working
[13:40] <jussi> Quintasan: it certainly would be interesting, but somehow Im guessing no sudo access...
[13:40] <jussi> (he is at school)
[13:41] <jussi> maybe I shoudl do that for fun... :P
[13:41] <Quintasan> Oh, gotta bash his sysadmin at least
[13:48] <TheLastProject> I can't get access to the "File/Edit/etc" menu bar in Kopete anymore, it disappeared a few days ago but won't come back, not even if I press Alt in the hope to trigger it. Does anybody know what to do?
[13:50] <pangolin> you've tried restarting kopete?
[13:52] <TheLastProject> pangolin: Multiple times, to no avail
[13:52] <TheLastProject> pangolin: I can see this tab in any chat window (Chat/Edit/Format/Tabs/Tools/Settings/Help) but not in the main window
[13:52] <mweijts> TheLastProject:  try CTRL-M
[13:53] <TheLastProject> And thank you, mweijts.
[13:53] <TheLastProject> I knew I was missing something simple...
[13:53] <pangolin> menu was invisible?
[13:53] <TheLastProject> Yeah, it was, apparently Ctrl-M triggers it, which I was not aware of. Must've pressed it once by accident or so.
[13:54] <pangolin> something to remember.
[13:54] <pangolin> nice job mweijts :)
[13:56] <mweijts> i have a problem at the moment with Kopete it's always connecting on the ...@hotmail.com account can't reach server, while the second account ...@msn.com logged in correctly
[14:37] <alexdevillx> Any minecraft clone for kubuntu?
[14:51] <belli> Hello, is anybody here? My exboyfriend talked me to install and use kubuntu, then he left me and I have problem with loud fan and overheating and no one to help me :(
[14:52] <BluesKaj> belli, laptop or desktop?
[14:52] <genii-around> This sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem...
[14:52] <belli> sony vaio vpcea2s1e laptop
[14:52] <belli> it is software, in windows it was okay
[14:53] <belli> in gnome it was okay, in KDE it is overheating
[14:53] <belli> I have 60-70 degrees of cpu while idle :(
[14:55] <belli> no idea anybody? :(
[14:56] <BluesKaj> belli, have a little patience , someone will help if they can
[14:57] <belli> well I hope.. I don't even know where to ask
[14:59] <ahox> belli, can you run top and powertop to see if there is some process that is at 100% or so?
[15:01] <belli> no, it is under 10% all the time
[15:01] <amichair> !java
[15:02] <ahox> belli, what does powertop say?
[15:02] <belli> ahox: sorry, what is powertop and where can I find it?
[15:03] <ahox> its in the powertop package
[15:03] <amichair> is it just me, or is there no sun-java6-* in oneiric repos?
[15:03] <ahox> and its basically the same as top, just for power-related stuff
[15:04] <ahox> amichair: its just you ;-)
[15:05] <amichair> ahox: are they still in the partner repos? I don't see them there...
[15:05] <ahox> I am just trying to figure that out - how do I see the source-repo?
[15:06] <ahox> found it - its in natty/main (archive.canonical.com)
[15:06] <amichair> ahox: maybe apt-cache show <package>?
[15:06] <amichair> natty ain't oneiric :-)
[15:07] <ahox> good point - must be a leftover from before the upgrade
[15:09] <amichair> !info sun-java-jdk
[15:09] <amichair> there u have it
[15:09] <amichair> !info sun-java-jdk natty
[15:09] <belli> http://pastebin.com/mmWCiwr2
[15:09] <amichair> !find sun-java-jdk
[15:10] <amichair> !find sun-java-jdk natty
[15:10] <ahox> so I assume its now the openjdk-6-* packages
[15:10] <amichair> strange
[15:13] <ahox> belli, your cpu certainly runs a lot in the higher cpu states quiet a bit, but not that much - the only thing I find a bit strange is your touchpad
[15:13] <belli> ahox: but what is wrong with my touchpad?
[15:14] <ahox> no idea, maybe google for it?
[15:14] <ahox> or upgrade to oneiric
[15:14] <belli> under what phrase? :D
[15:15] <ahox> your laptop name
[15:15] <ahox> +touchpad problems
[15:15] <belli> ahox: but in gnome and in windows I have no problems with anything :/
[15:15] <ahox> thought, if this is a driver issue, then upgrading may be the easiest option
[15:15] <ahox> then add an kde or linux to it
[15:16] <ahox> actually, you could run powertop again under gnome to see if it changes
[15:16] <ahox> if it doesn't then this is not the problem
[15:16] <belli> ok, Im going to try..
[15:20] <belli> ahox: but it has nothing to do with touchpad.. that % in powertop is according to my movement of cursor with touchpad.. when I don't move with it, it under 10%, when I move, it's more
[15:21] <RandomRoger> umm, where is the menu.lst file in kubuntu ?
[15:22] <belli> and it is some bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/194489 any other idea?
[15:24] <ahox> which version of kubuntu are you running?
[15:24] <RandomRoger> I found it its grub.cfg in 10.10
[15:24] <koch> Hi.
[15:24] <belli> actually I have ubuntu 11.04 with KDE installed.. in some chat told me that it is like having kubuntu 11.04
[15:24] <RandomRoger> How do I get kubuntu to display the menu when I boot so I can select which entry I want to boot ?
[15:25] <koch> how to see every pc connected on my network?
[15:25] <ahox> that's correct - but you may want to try out 11.10
[15:25] <RandomRoger> yeah that's what I meant, my bad.
[15:25] <RandomRoger> I am running 11.10
[15:25] <belli> ahox: I would love to, but this month I can't because of limits on my internet connection.. I will upgade asap
[15:25] <RandomRoger> Is there some key I have to hit on boot to get the grub meny ?
[15:26] <RandomRoger> menu.
[15:26] <claydoh> RandomRoger: shift key iirc
[15:26] <RandomRoger> Ok, will give it a try.
[15:26] <RandomRoger> ty
[15:26] <claydoh> but do you have a dual boot RandomRoger?
[15:26] <claydoh> oopsie
[15:28] <RandomRoger> Nope, not shift key.
[15:28] <RandomRoger> Anyhow, my new kernel works but the gfx are borked.
[15:28] <RandomRoger> I have to 3D acceleration.
[15:28] <ahox> belli, the only other thing I can now think of is to use ksysguard and go through the sensors to spot something odd there
[15:29] <RandomRoger> no*
[15:29] <ahox> CPU Load/Interrupts/Total may be an interesting number
[15:30] <RandomRoger> Anyone else know how I mite get into the grub menu on boot ?
[15:30] <BluesKaj> RandomRoger,  hold the shift key down right after the bios scrn until the grub menu appears
[15:30] <RandomRoger> K, will try.
[15:32] <RandomRoger> Success
[15:32] <RandomRoger> Now to find if I can somehow enable my gfx card on the new kernel.
[15:32] <ahox> RandomRoger: otherwise have a look at /etc/defaults/grub
[15:33] <RandomRoger> Thanks
[15:33] <RandomRoger> Actually I remember some error regarding fglrx when compiling the kernel, so that mite be why the new one has no 3D
[15:36] <amichair> is there a utility that makes all changes necessary for properly using an ssd?
[15:40] <FuZz_> hello
[15:40] <amichair> !ssd
[15:40] <FuZz_> !ssd
[15:40] <FuZz_> :D
[15:41] <amichair> one can try...
[15:42] <claydoh> RandomRoger: are you dual booting, or have both ubuntu/kubuntu installed together?
[15:42] <RandomRoger> I just have Kubuntu
[15:42] <claydoh> shift key to bring up grub can be tricky timing wise
[15:43] <claydoh> RandomRoger: you wouldnt use grub then, you would choose kde or unity or whichever desktop at the login
[15:43] <RandomRoger> No, I needed it because I have multiple kernels
[15:44] <RandomRoger> I'm experimenting with compiling my own. So I need to get into grub to select which kernel to boot.,
[15:46] <claydoh> make sure you run update-grub to add the kernels to it, the kernel build might not be adding an entry to grub
[15:46] <RandomRoger> Its there
[15:47] <RandomRoger> I needed to boot the old kernel again though because there's a problem with fglrx
[15:49] <claydoh> good, you just have to hit or hold down shift at the right time, I have seen it be tricky so try a few times if  you have to
[15:50] <claydoh> RandomRoger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Boot_Display_Behavior
[15:50] <claydoh> if you need to edit the file to turn it on permanently
[15:50] <RandomRoger> Thanks
[15:52] <RandomRoger> Love Linux man, its so fun.
[15:56] <koch> how to change the name of ntfs disk, via terminal linux?
[16:04] <koch> so thnks.
[16:04] <koch> bye
[16:08] <bios`> hi I am looking for a tool which allows me to make anotations in pdfs (xournal is a way to limited since you can only write text on the white boarders and okular does not allow me to send the anotatins to friends who are not using okuklar as well)
[16:18] <Walzmyn> I'm tyring to install skype. The interwebs say it's in the partners repo, but I don't see it. I downloaded the .deb from skype but it's telling me skype is availiable in a repo channel. What gives?
[16:21] <pangolin> !partner
[16:25] <Walzmyn> pangolin: right, but skype's not in there. I found a dozen articles saying that was where it was
[16:25] <Walzmyn> and I've searched the repos for it and not found it, but the .deb from sykpe said there was a repo verson availiable some where
[16:28] <pangolin> interesting, I am getting the same results
[16:29] <amichair_> !find skype oneiric partner
[16:29] <BluesKaj> 32 bit skype is available in the repos here
[16:29] <BluesKaj> !skype
[16:30] <amichair_> what's the syntax again?
[16:30] <amichair_> !find skype oneiric
[16:30] <BluesKaj> !info skype
[16:31] <BluesKaj> I usually download the static version , for palin skype ...it works ok on 64bit
[16:31] <BluesKaj> plain
[16:32] <BluesKaj> conflicting factoids
[16:33] <Walzmyn> sorry, taking care of kid. I need 64 bit, so just get it from skype?
[16:34] <BluesKaj> Walzmyn,yeah , probly your best bet
[16:34] <Walzmyn> I got it, but havn't installed yet. it said it needed to install 95 additional packages
[16:37] <BluesKaj> Walzmyn, I usually get it from the website ...wonder how old that ubuntu tutorial is .
[16:38] <Walzmyn> some of what I was reading was referencing 11.10
[16:40] <BluesKaj> Walzmyn, ok , because al I see on the skype site is a beta version
[16:40] <BluesKaj> all
[16:51] <Num83rGuy_> Just installed Kubuntu 11.10, Muon crashes, Now Muon will not get new packages with the error along the line of "package system in use close other package managers". No other is in use and aptitude, apt-get works
[16:52] <Num83rGuy_> Where is muon's lock file?
[16:52] <ishaan> Num83rGuy_: Have u tried restarting the Os?
[16:53] <Num83rGuy_> ishaan Yes
[16:53] <ishaan> Num83rGuy_ Whats the exact error and where?
[16:54] <phunyguy_work> it is definitely the lock file, but where is it
[16:54] <Num83rGuy_> Muon package manager. When trying to apply a change to a package install, remove, etc.
[16:54] <ishaan> try sudo apt-get muon --restart
[16:55] <phunyguy_work> a muon crash will cause a lock file to remain according to google
[16:55] <phunyguy_work> just not sure how to kill it
[16:56] <ishaan> then find the process using "ps -A" command in the konsole
[16:56] <Num83rGuy_> Command line option --restart is not understood Did you mean reinstall
[16:56] <ishaan> no restart.
[16:56] <ishaan> its a the force strart type.
[16:58] <Num83rGuy_> I put in "sudo apt-get muon --restart" and the output was "Command line option --restart is not understood"
[16:58] <ishaan> can u send me the processes running in ur system using "ps-A" in the konsole?
[16:58] <phunyguy_work> ishaan, i dont think there is a process running
[16:58] <phunyguy_work> thats what he is trying to say
[16:59] <ishaan> thats why iam checking it against background ones...it may run and cause crash or there are other apps running which is causing the same.
[16:59] <Num83rGuy_> ishaan http://pastebin.com/xK3Bk3XH
[17:00] <Num83rGuy_> No not that I am aware of.
[17:01] <Num83rGuy_> Muon only crashed once and now is locked out of the package system but, aptitude and apt-get still work so it is not the apt lock file.
[17:03] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, just try muon in the terminal , see what comes up
[17:05] <ishaan> BluesKaj: thats a good suggestion
[17:05] <ishaan> Num83rGuy_: try that.
[17:05] <Num83rGuy_> ok
[17:05] <phunyguy_work> ishaan is the IRC traffic cop.
[17:06] <ishaan> phunyguy_work: who me??
[17:06] <phunyguy_work> Num83rGuy_: follow ishaan's suggestion to follow BluesKaj's suggestion.
[17:07] <phunyguy_work> ishaan: that was a good suggestion to follow BluesKaj's suggestion
[17:07] <phunyguy_work> :P
[17:07] <phunyguy_work> lunchtime, bbl
[17:07] <ishaan> hmm..which country are u in phunyguy_work?
[17:07] <Num83rGuy_> LOL yeah, running "sudo muon" in konsole works.
[17:08] <ishaan> try not use sudo when executing GUI's
[17:08] <ishaan> use gksudo
[17:08] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, what about muon only , in user mode rather than sudo
[17:08] <ishaan> yes iwas gonna write that too..
[17:09] <BluesKaj> ishaan, this is kubuntu , kde territory
[17:10] <Num83rGuy_> It seems to run but says I don't have authorization.
[17:10] <ishaan> yes i knw..thats why i said gksudo..do one thing,try sudo dolphin and see the result in the konsole.you can see what is said BluesKaj
[17:10] <Num83rGuy_> When I try to install
[17:11] <ishaan> Num83rGuy_: install what?
[17:11] <genii-around> !kdesudo
[17:11] <Num83rGuy_> kdesudo muon works too.
[17:11] <Num83rGuy_> I installed 2ping
[17:12] <genii-around> Num83rGuy_ and ishaan .. please see the ubottu's link as to why not to use sudo to run gui apps
[17:12] <Num83rGuy_> first thing in the list and small.
[17:12] <ishaan> genii-around: i knw that.Thanks for the heads up.
[17:13] <ishaan> Num83rGuy_: and what happens then?
[17:13] <Num83rGuy_> It works with sudo it works with kdesudo just not run from the menu.
[17:14] <genii-around> ishaan: I see now... pulled the factoid up so that others would not think this should be a good way to run muon or dolphin, then checked backscroll :)
[17:14] <Num83rGuy_> I know that it is not the best method and the issues it causes. thanks
[17:16] <ishaan> genii-around: I think u got my point...Somewhat!
[17:16] <Num83rGuy_> let me try again and see .
[17:18]  * BluesKaj has learned the lazy methods. my ~/.bashrc file is full of aliases
[17:20] <dewey> anyone on good with wifi issues ?
[17:20] <phunyguy_work> just ask your question.
[17:20] <phunyguy_work> (dewey)
[17:21] <dewey> ok well when i am using wifi it works for a few seconds then kind of freezes. if i reconect its fine again for a few seconds but stops again
[17:21] <dewey> its an intel wifi and i download the drivers
[17:21] <dewey> iwlwifi
[17:21] <dewey> still does it
[17:21] <Amdpc> Hi..does anyone here know how to connect to mobile broadband in kubuntu 10.10 ?
[17:22] <Amdpc> !bluetooth
[17:22] <dewey> Amdpc it works just like regular wifi
[17:23] <Amdpc> dewey : When I plug the dongle , It is shown in the network option in the panel...But I am unable to connect it...Can you help ?
[17:23] <dewey> oh your using the USB one
[17:23] <Amdpc> yes..
[17:23] <dewey> witch one do you have ?
[17:26] <dewey> should be a model number on the back by the ESN (barcode)
[17:27] <BluesKaj> dewey,for the intel wifi module , try , sudo modprobe iwlwifi , in the the terminal
[17:29] <dewey> blueskaj says module not found
[17:29] <dewey> but its in /lib/firmware where it said to puti it
[17:30] <Amdpc> dewey : Tata Photon Plus (INdia)
[17:31] <dewey> amdpc not familiar with that one
[17:32] <dewey> amdpc try this link http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-configure-tataindicom-mobile-broadband-on-linux/
[17:35] <genii-around> dewey: firmware should be put in /lib/firmware ( and usually only if you intend to use ndiswrapper as the driver )
[17:35] <Amdpc> dewey : dewey : n one more thing...I am able to connect my dongle using Ubuntu..
[17:35] <dewey> genii-around ok so where should i put it ?
[17:36] <dewey> amdpc it has ubuntu on the site check it out
[17:36] <genii-around> dewey: Where did you download the drivers from, are they Windows or Linux drivers?
 : Yeh....I am on UBuntu only and it is connected :)
[17:37] <genii-around> ( and what is the extension of the filename either way )
[17:37] <dewey> they are linux drivers i got from intellinuxwireless
[17:38] <dewey> .ucode
[17:39] <genii-around> dewey: OK, so that file actually is in the correct place. But for it to be used, you have to be then using ndiswrapper for your driver and not the native linux driver
[17:40] <dewey> ok let me google that thanks
[17:42] <genii-around> dewey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper might get you started
[17:46] <rymate1234> hai
[17:49] <dewey> genii-around it requires a .inf file? so it wont work with .ucode will it ?
[17:50] <rymate1234> kubunntu uses a load of ram
[17:50] <rymate1234> why is this?
[17:51] <genii-around> dewey: Most adapters when used with ndiswrapper will require BOTH... the firmware to the hardware ( .ucode or .fw file) and the windows device driver information ( .inf file)
[17:52] <dewey> ok so i need to find the windows driver too ?
[17:52] <rymate1234> guys
[17:52] <genii-around> rymate1234: KDE can be fairly resource-heavy compared to other desktop environments like GNOME, or XFCE
[17:53] <rymate1234> ye
[17:53] <genii-around> dewey: Yep
[17:53] <dewey> so i should install it to /lib/firmware as well ?
[17:55] <rymate1234> genii-around: but surely it shouldn't be using 70% of my ram
[17:55] <rymate1234> only applications I have open are xchat and chrome
[17:56] <genii-around> dewey: Usually when there are more than a couple files involved for the single device, to make a subdirectory under /lib/firmware and put all of the stuff into that
[17:56] <genii-around> rymate1234: How much ram does your system have?
[17:56] <rymate1234> 3Gb
[17:56] <genii-around> Apologies on lag, work requires my attention here periodically
[17:57] <rymate1234> holy shit
[17:57] <rymate1234> ram usage went wayyy down when i closed chrome
[17:59] <genii-around> rymate1234: Now ya know. ... also, please try to keep the language family friendly here :)
[17:59] <rymate1234> oh ok :P
[18:03] <dewey> genii-around it appears to be impossible to download the inf files....
[18:05] <dewey> genii-around all i  can fine are the .exe
[18:05] <genii-around> dewey: The usual thing is to download the Windows driver entirely. They are usually in .zip or sometimes self-extracting .exe ... then extracting the .inf and also .sys files
[18:05] <dewey> how do i get the inf out of an exe? lol
[18:06] <Num83rGuy_> Ugh, Sorry went to reboot suddenly everyone wanted to come over.  Found out what my issue with Muon was.
[18:06] <genii-around> dewey: Usually by having wine already installed and then using that to run it, etc
[18:06] <dewey> yeah thats what i figured
[18:07] <dewey> installing wine...
[18:07] <Num83rGuy_> Cryptic error messages.  I was trying to install a package that caused broken depends was putting up the package system in use error.
[18:09] <Num83rGuy_> ishaan Installing a package with broken depends causes the package system in use error.
[18:11] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, sudo dpkg --configure -a , then it might suggest , sudo apt-get -f install
[18:12] <Num83rGuy_> It 's OK I have it fixed now but, thank you.
[18:16] <BluesKaj> BBL...stuff to do
[18:40] <dewey> ok genii-around lets see how long this works
[18:41] <dewey> !ping
[18:41] <rymate1234> !ping
[18:41] <genii-around> It's rate-limited
[18:43] <dewey> still seems to be lagging out
[18:43] <dewey> cant open any web sites now
[18:43] <dewey> !ping
[18:43] <dewey> im getting pinged though
[18:43] <dewey> odd
[18:45] <dewey> ugh ever since unity was put in ubuntu i went back to windows. thought i would try kubuntu but i am about to go back to windows again
[18:47] <rymate1234> dewey: want my advice?
[18:48] <dewey> sure
[18:48] <rymate1234> afaik there is an option on the ubuntu login screen to use the "classic" interface
[18:48] <rymate1234> its a dropown box on the bottom
[18:49] <rymate1234> or use 10.04 lts
[18:49] <BluesKaj> dewey,   sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[18:50] <BluesKaj> dewey, any error messages?
[18:50] <dewey> i dont understand why i am fine here but websites time out.
[18:50] <dewey> no error
[18:50] <BluesKaj> that means it's connected
[18:50] <dewey> i am connected but on wireless everything times out
[18:51] <dewey> like package installs
[18:51] <dewey> and websites
[18:51] <genii-around> dewey: So you are connected to irc fine but websites having issues?
[18:51] <dewey> not just websites
[18:51] <genii-around> Smells like dns issue
[18:51] <dewey> yeah its odd
[18:51] <dewey> ideas ?
[18:52] <genii-around> dewey: You are connected by both wireless and wire to same router/access point but only one connection is working?
[18:52] <dewey> no i unplugged wired
[18:53] <dewey> let me try a reboot after i did all this network stuff brb
[18:54] <genii-around> dewey: Might want to try: sudo dhclient wlan0
[18:54] <genii-around> ( assuming it's supposed to be automatically getting an ip)
[19:06] <BluesKaj> dewey, do you see your network/router, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[19:06] <ubuntu> hi?
[19:07] <dewey> genii-around ok I am wired again the icon in the bottom right corner that let me search for wireless networks is gone. Any idea how to get that back ?
[19:07] <ubuntu> bye bye guys
[19:07] <BluesKaj> dewey, look at my post above
[19:08] <dewey> says device doesnt support scaning
[19:08] <BluesKaj> you need the wifi connection on , no wired for that test
[19:08] <dewey> yeah i know i am looking for how to get that icon back one sec
[19:10] <dewey> any idea ?
[19:11] <dewey> got it
[19:11] <dewey> ok one sec
[19:11] <dewey> switching to wireless
[19:14] <calcmandan_tp> so its kdesudo now and not kdesu like it was?
[19:17] <dewey> BluesKaj what ever i did has completely removed my wireless
[19:17] <dewey> it doesnt detect my card at all now
[19:20] <genii-around> calcmandan_tp: Correct
[19:23] <dewey> genii-around any idea why now the network software doesnt see my wifi ?
[19:23] <dewey> but when i do lspci | grep -i net it finds my card
[19:23] <genii-around> dewey: Did you do something like blacklist the linux driver it was using previously?
[19:23] <dewey> nope
[19:24] <dewey> all i did was ndiswrapper -i mydriver.inf
[19:24] <dewey> should i do the .sys too ?
[19:25] <genii-around> dewey: Is ndiswrapper a currently loaded module?
[19:25] <genii-around> eg: does lsmod| grep ndiswrapper     show it?
[19:26] <dewey> no it doesnt
[19:26] <dewey> so its not loaded
[19:26] <dewey> doesnt ndiswrapper -m make it come on at startup ?
[19:27] <genii-around> dewey: You would still need to probably put ndiswrapper in /etc/modules for it to be loaded each boot
[19:30] <dewey> genii-around so just add the line ndiswrapper to the file ?
[19:30] <genii-around> Yep
[19:31] <dewey> ok so how do i run it now
[19:37] <genii-around> dewey: For the moment just manually: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[19:37] <linux4u2> hi.
[19:38] <linux4u2> why does bluetooth headsets not work in 11.04?
[19:38] <dewey> ok brb testing
[19:38] <linux4u2> I have yet to see any post a how to or anything close to a set of working instructions?
[19:41] <genii-around> linux4u2: If in Konsole you put: sudo service bluetooth restart        and try again your headset does it see it then?
[19:47] <linux4u2> ok let me try
[19:49] <linux4u2> ok I have restart bluetooth
[19:49] <linux4u2> I have the headset paired. but how to I get any sound out of it.
[19:49] <dewey> genii-around now its seeing my connections but doesnt connect. Just says wait for authorization
[19:50] <dewey> i have remove the connection and readded it
[19:50] <linux4u2> I have tried blue-devil, blueman and bluetooth-applet.
[19:51] <genii-around> linux4u2: Do you see a usb audio device in kmix?
[19:51] <linux4u2> dont think so, let me double check
[19:52] <linux4u2> no
[19:52] <linux4u2> no usb audio device in kmix
[19:52] <linux4u2> I cant see the sink in pulseaudio.
[19:52] <linux4u2> what kills me is this worked perfectly in 10.10
[19:52] <genii-around> dewey: Hm. I currently have no suggestions
[19:53] <genii-around> linux4u2: If you put: alsamixer              and then in there F6  does it show the headset?
[20:00] <Orcris> Is there any way to make Kdenlive work, or do I just need to wait for an update?
[20:00] <linux4u2> ok let me try genii
[20:01] <linux4u2> genii-around,  no it doesnt show a headset
[20:01] <linux4u2> do I need a .asoudrc file?
[20:06] <jmichaelx> i don't think anyone has .asoundrc in oneiric by default
[20:09] <BluesKaj> jmichaelx, , linux4u2 , ~/.asoundrc is usually required if you have a pci soundcard that needs to be made the default in the bios ..but that's my experience ..yours may differ
[20:09] <jmichaelx> BluesKaj: that may well be the case.... on two machines i have had constant issues with the wrong audio device be set as the default
[20:10] <jmichaelx> (in oneiric)
[20:10] <andycc> This might be a stupid question, but why is my mouse cursor disappearing when I'm not moving it? I looked through System Settings and couldn't find anything relevant...
[20:10] <jmichaelx> in both cases, phonon settings seems to be fairly worthless
[20:11] <jmichaelx> andycc: i see that, too.... but only when a firefix window is open. if i move the mouse, it comes back
[20:11] <andycc> (I also STFWed, but it didn't turn up anything relevant either)
[20:11]  * jmichaelx STFWed?
[20:12]  * jmichaelx understands the TF, but not the S or W....
[20:12] <andycc> jmichaelx: STFW = search the F-ing web
[20:12] <jmichaelx> lol
[20:12] <jmichaelx> got it now
[20:12] <BluesKaj> also the  /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file nedds to have the new pci card kernel module/driver:  options newsoundcardmodule index=0
[20:13] <jmichaelx> BluesKaj: yea, i have alsa-base.conf set correctly, but the machine sometimes still sets the wrong device as the default (a USB microphone, of all things)
[20:14] <jmichaelx> BluesKaj: right now, the default devie is set correctly 3 out of 4 time.... when it tries to make the webcam mic the default, i just unplug the webcam, then plug it back in, and things are fine
[20:14] <BluesKaj> jmichaelx, make sure you have first in the list under this line : # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
[20:15] <jmichaelx> BluesKaj: yes, that is how i have it
[20:15] <jmichaelx> i did not have this problem in natty
[20:15] <jmichaelx> this issue is mildly annoying, but there are several issues in kubuntu oneiric that annoy me much more than this
[20:16] <BluesKaj> ok, then that webcam mic must have some drivercode that kills anyother audio drives
[20:16] <jmichaelx> BluesKaj: entirely possible.... although one would think that a mic should never be the default audio device
[20:16] <BluesKaj> kde window sizing is one of my pet annoyances
[20:17] <mivasa> hello everyone
[20:17] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: hi
[20:17] <BluesKaj> anywayn , back to raking ...bbi
[20:17] <phoenix_firebrd> mivasa: hello
[20:17] <jmichaelx> yes, trying to move a window by dragging titlebar often results in resizing
[20:17] <mivasa> i am looking for a usent server any recommendations
[20:18] <mivasa> sorry Usenet Server...
[20:18] <BluesKaj> the davance window and application settings won't hold unles i use 'force' ...remember doesn't remember anything :)
[20:18] <BluesKaj> ok , gotta do some work for a bit
[20:20] <linux4u2> hey BluesKaj  I agree, but I was at the point to try anything.
[20:20] <linux4u2> why is there no howto for 11.04? since they changed everything in 11.04 I figure someone would have created a howto.
[20:23] <merlin1991> is it a known bug that rekonq keeps crashing, or am I special?
[20:25] <well_laid_lawn> there's beena few ppl with that issue
[20:25] <merlin1991> known solutions?
[20:25] <well_laid_lawn> use something else
[20:25] <merlin1991> my symptoms are random crashes + definite crash when I try to dl anything
[20:25] <merlin1991> arf
[20:25] <merlin1991> I was looking forward not to install mozilla for once :D
[20:26] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[20:26] <merlin1991> what would be a lightweight browser for kde then?
[20:28] <well_laid_lawn> konqueror amybe
[20:28] <genii-around> konqueror is fairly serviceable, yes
[20:29] <andycc> merlin1991: if lightweight is what you're looking for, then yeah, +1 for Konqueror.
[20:29] <phoenix_firebrd> merlin1991: do you get any error messages?
[20:30] <merlin1991> phoenix_firebrd: I didn't check logs (does rekonq write some)
[20:30] <merlin1991> but the window simply closes
[20:30] <merlin1991> looks like the regular sigsev to me
[20:30] <phoenix_firebrd> merlin1991: no try to run it from terminal
[20:30] <phoenix_firebrd> merlin1991: you can also try disabling plugins
[20:35] <TheTaLlesT> my audio card can use 2 input sources at the same time. front mic and line in for example this shows up just fine in alsa but in pulse i can only select one. i assume this is because of the profile. I am useing  'Analog Surround 5.1 Output + Analog Stereo Input'. can i add another profile?
[20:40] <Num83rGuy_> Oh boy, I just realized I have no sound. alsamixer is showing my sound card (Audigy 2 platinum) as does the phonon ksm. But phonon has the card grayed out.
[20:40] <BluesKaj> TheTaLlesT, I believe you can setup more profile if you have pavucontrol installed .. not real sure since I only use pulse because have to for webaudio content to play
[20:41] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, that's pci card right ?
[20:41] <Num83rGuy_> Yes.
[20:42] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, did you set it as the default in the bios ?
[20:42] <andycc> OK, asking again: does anyone have any idea why my mouse cursor disappears when I don't move it?
[20:43] <Num83rGuy_> It should be. I upgraded (fresh install using old home) from 11.04 last night. It worked in 11.04.
[20:44] <Num83rGuy_> The cursor hideing is annoying to me too.
[20:45] <mweijts> i have a problem with Kopete on WLM, I have 2 accounts ...@hotmail.com and ...@msn.com witch is working fine but the ...@hotmail.com account is always connecting, i reinstalled kopete, cleared all config files but problem is stilthere
[20:45] <andycc> Okay, now my touchpad is dead. And there is no cursor at all.
[20:46] <Num83rGuy_> andycc: The package that does that is called unclutter.
[20:46] <andycc> Ah, indeed, I just killall-ed it and I can see the cursor now.
[20:46] <andycc> Thanks for that.
[20:47] <Num83rGuy_> I usually uninstall it
[20:54] <Num83rGuy_> I am going to have to install more pulse stuff aren't I? I hate pulse.
[20:54] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, look for the chip in alsmixer  , lsmod | grep snd , that  module should be your Card 0 (default) or  index=0 in alsabase.conf
[20:54] <BluesKaj> yeah, pulseaudio is a dirty fix IMO , I'm not happy with it but i need it for flash and other audio content on the web
[20:55] <BluesKaj> alsa is supposed to link to flash on webaudio content ...it used to work with my onboard , but it doesn't with the m-audio
[20:56] <Num83rGuy_> I don't see any thing that looks like my sound card in the out put of  lsmod | grep snd
[20:57] <Num83rGuy_> Yet alsamixer sees it.
[20:59] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, so the chip listed in alsamixer doesn't show up in lsmod ?
[21:00] <Num83rGuy_> I beleve yes.
[21:00] <BluesKaj> make sure
[21:00] <Num83rGuy_> OK
[21:01] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy_: it probsbly should me ca0106 or emu10k
[21:01] <Num83rGuy_> alsa mixer says the chip is SigmaTel STAC9721,23
[21:02] <Num83rGuy_> lasmod does not have that but does have emu10k
[21:03] <Num83rGuy_> Actually emu10k1
[21:03] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy_: thats your card
[21:03] <andycc> Ah, a Sigmatel. Aren't those "supported" by the standard hda-intel driver?
[21:03] <andycc> (or whatever it's called)
[21:04] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy_: have you disabled the onboard audio?
[21:04] <Num83rGuy_> OK, phonon has it grayed out.
[21:04] <Num83rGuy_> Yes.
[21:04] <Num83rGuy_> ac97 disabled in BIOS.
[21:04] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, try this  sudo lshw -C multimedia
[21:06] <Num83rGuy_> here is the output http://paste.kde.org/142382/
[21:08] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, ok what does this show ..there may be a conflict , cat /proc/asound/modules
[21:10] <Num83rGuy_>  0 snd_emu10k1
[21:10] <Num83rGuy_>  1 snd_usb_audio
[21:10] <Num83rGuy_> The second is a USB web cam with mic.
[21:13] <Num83rGuy_> I unplugged it and phonon wants to know if I want it permanently forgotten. Will it work if I plug it in later?
[21:13] <Num83rGuy_> If I say yes.
[21:13] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy_: it should
[21:13] <Num83rGuy_> OK
[21:15] <Num83rGuy_> Now the USB mic is gon but the soundcard is still gray.
[21:17] <BluesKaj> wish i knew more about audigy soundcards ...wonder what the module /driver name is ..does anyone know ?
[21:17] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy_: can you purge and reinstall pulseaudio?
[21:17] <adarshajoisa> is there any way to make a widget visible above active windows?
[21:18] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: i am sure its emu10k1 chip
[21:20] <Num83rGuy_> Me too. Running pactl tels me that the default sink is auto_null I will try to set the sink to something meaningful before I go nuclear and purge.
[21:21] <Num83rGuy_> Thanks.
[21:23] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, yeah i just ssh'd into my other pc which has an audigy which uses that driver altho it's not the default
[21:25] <Num83rGuy_> I am installing pulse control I think I had to do this last time. And then kick it a few times.
[21:26] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, try this , sudo modprobe snd-emu10k1
[21:26] <Num83rGuy_> No output.
[21:28] <BluesKaj> good
[21:28] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj:  I am having a alsa asoundrc file that works for web too, i was using it. If you are interested i can paste it here
[21:28] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, are you using pulseaudio as well ?
[21:29] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ya
[21:29] <Num83rGuy_> If I could get rid of pulse that would be great.
[21:29] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: pulseaudio without the alsa configuration file
[21:30] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, nm ..If I could dump pulse I would
[21:30] <BluesKaj> I have an ,asoundrc file set up
[21:30] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: shall i paste the config here
[21:30] <BluesKaj> paste your file , phoenix_firebrd I'll check it out
[21:30] <BluesKaj> in pastebin
[21:31] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: http://paste.kde.org/142388/
[21:32] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: i have added a  lowpass filter to it, if you dont wont remove it
[21:32] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: *want
[21:33] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: only one application can use the soundcard at once
[21:35] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, open this file ,/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , and find this line : '# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0' , paste this line directly under it , options  snd-emu10k1 index=0
[21:37] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, where did you get that .asoundrc file ...that looks to me like an analog output setup ...I use spdif/pcm only
[21:38] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: oh, i did a research and created my own, yes its for analog, you can use to make your own
[21:39] <Num83rGuy_> OK I did that. also this was in that file http://paste.kde.org/142394/
[21:44] <BluesKaj> this is mine phoenix_firebrd , http://paste.ubuntu.com/728575/ , simple but effective
[21:45] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: i guess your sound card supports hardware mixer
[21:45] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, ok , try a reboot , then we'll see what happens with phonon and pulse
[21:45] <Num83rGuy_> oK in a bit.
[21:46] <BluesKaj> Num83rGuy_, those lines you pasted are common strings in the conf file afaikt
[21:48] <calcmandan_phone> Can someone please pastebin their apt.sources file for 11.10?
[21:48] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, yes the m-audio card has several opyional devices it can connect to
[21:49] <BluesKaj> calcmandan_phone, are you upgrading your OS ?
[21:50] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: mine is creative soundblaster , which is based on ca0106 chip and it doesnt contain a hardware mixer
[21:52] <calcmandan_phone> Blueskai: I will be but I want to make sure I get all the repos after the transition. The live boot has only one source
[21:52] <andycc> Why Kubuntu just spontaneously shut down, I will never know. ...
[21:52] <andycc> (This isn't common, is it?)
[21:52] <calcmandan_phone> Your cpu overheated?
[21:54] <phoenix_firebrd> andycc: what do you mean by shutdown ? halt or clean shutdown?
[21:54] <pietz> does anyone know when KDE 4.7.3 is gonna packaged?
[21:54] <phoenix_firebrd> pietz: it is being packaged
[21:54] <pietz> ok, next question *g* when is it available :-D
[21:55] <phoenix_firebrd> pietz: check this page https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/Packaging
[21:55] <pietz> i was there
[21:55] <pietz> i donÄt know how to read this site
[21:55] <pietz> there is no legend how to read it
[21:55] <pietz> sorry :)
[21:56] <pietz> is there a description page how to extract the information from this site?
[21:58] <phoenix_firebrd> pietz: check at the end of the page there is something called "PPA Testing KDE 4.7.3 Oneiric", if it shows success, then kde 4.7.3 will be available in backports
[21:58] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: are in uds
[21:58] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: are you in uds
[22:01] <playuh_jd> anyone used DD before to make a HD clone??
[22:01] <Torch> playuh_jd: not an uncommon thing to do
[22:01] <BluesKaj> BBL ...
[22:02] <playuh_jd> Torch: My first time...
[22:02] <playuh_jd> After the cloning process, my new HD won't boot.. =[
[22:02] <playuh_jd> i need help
[22:03] <Torch> playuh_jd: we will probably need more details, like what's the source and target disk, how's the partition layout, what happens exactly now...
[22:04] <playuh_jd> source disk is /dev/sda target is /dev/sdb. I have approximately 5 partitions on source disk which I would like replicated to target disk...
[22:04] <pietz> member:phoenix_firebrd thanks, but a more self-describing website would help millions of people to understand the site :-)
[22:04] <pietz> thanks anyways. bye
[22:05] <playuh_jd> It seems that all the files transfered but the disk wont boot. I manually created the partitions on target disk before transferring each partition 1 by 1 from source to target
[22:05] <Torch> playuh_jd: that's not how this is normally done... either you copy the whole disk or you copy partitions.
[22:05] <playuh_jd> i was wondering if DD could actually create the partitions on the target disk for me if i just ran a simple command asking it to replicate source to target
[22:06] <playuh_jd> i wont to copy the whole disk at once
[22:06] <playuh_jd> and have the target replicate the same partitions, is that possible?
[22:06] <Torch> playuh_jd: dd copies data from source to target. it knows nothing of partitions, but it does not have to in this case.
[22:07] <Torch> playuh_jd: what we're seeing as partitions is part of the master boot record at the start of the disk (primaries, at least). so if you copy all information from sda to sdb, this will just be copied as well
[22:07] <playuh_jd> okay
[22:07] <Torch> playuh_jd: if you create partitions and copy sda1 to sdb1, sda2 to sdb2 and so on that _should_ work, but may have some side effects and the chance of mistakes is larger
[22:07] <playuh_jd> so i should be able to just copy the and clone the whole disk, and the partitions should remain intact...
[22:08] <playuh_jd> i see
[22:08] <Torch> playuh_jd: also, you'll have to re-create the boot strap code in the mbr
[22:08] <playuh_jd> so i'll reformat my sdb drive, and try again
[22:08] <Torch> playuh_jd: no formatting required
[22:08] <playuh_jd> that will work it?
[22:08] <playuh_jd> just start the process again
[22:08] <Torch> playuh_jd: boot from a CD, don't do this while anything is mounted
[22:08] <playuh_jd> sda to sdb...
[22:08] <Torch> playuh_jd: and use dd to copy sda to sdb
[22:08] <playuh_jd> Torch, i wont...
[22:08] <playuh_jd> ok
[22:08] <playuh_jd> sounds fantastic
[22:08] <playuh_jd> thanks!
[22:08] <playuh_jd> lets give it a try...
[22:09] <Torch> playuh_jd: make sure to not boot the system with both disks attached once you're done
[22:09] <Torch> playuh_jd: you're probably mounting per UUID in your fstab and this will not work if you have cloned partitions
[22:10] <playuh_jd> okay, i will remove source drive after its done...
[22:10] <playuh_jd> i hope this works!
[22:11] <playuh_jd> they're quite large drives
[22:11] <SIR_Taco> that's what she said
[22:11] <Torch> playuh_jd: read the man page of dd to find out how to make it print how far it is.
[22:11] <playuh_jd> i've found out...
[22:12] <Torch> playuh_jd: you need to send it a signal, it's not hard, but be careful not to kill it
[22:12] <Torch> playuh_jd: great
[22:12] <playuh_jd> so
[22:12] <playuh_jd> even the blank bytes will be copied, isn't that right?
[22:12] <playuh_jd> these are 1 terabyte drives, but only about 400gig are full
[22:12] <Torch> playuh_jd: yes. this method will take a lot longer than copying filesystems with appropriate tools
[22:12] <playuh_jd> ok
[22:13] <Torch> playuh_jd: if you re-create the partition layout, create the file systems and copy just the files, it will be much faster
[22:13] <Torch> playuh_jd: also, cleaner. and this will magically defragment your filesystems in the process.
[22:13] <playuh_jd> i tried that yesterday, but i couldnt get the partitions perfefct
[22:13] <Torch> playuh_jd: is windows vista/7 involved?
[22:13] <playuh_jd> there is one windows partitions
[22:14] <playuh_jd> partition*
[22:14] <Torch> playuh_jd: xp or vista/7?
[22:14] <playuh_jd> so i dont even need to format the target drive?
[22:14] <playuh_jd> i guess that makes sense, because everything will be overwritten
[22:14] <Torch> playuh_jd: there's no such thing as formatting a hard disk, it's a myth.
[22:15] <Torch> playuh_jd: you can create and delete partitions and file systems.
[22:15] <playuh_jd> i see
[22:15] <Torch> playuh_jd: but if you overwrite the master boot record, all information about partitions will be overwritten anyway
[22:15] <Torch> (i'm simplifiying, but i'm sure you get the picture here ,-))
[22:16] <yofel> phoenix_firebrd: nope, the planning didn't work out for that :/
[22:16] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: bad
[22:18] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: Jonathan Riddell has said that there will be a tutorial for packaging, did you decide it?
[22:18] <Num83rGuy_> OK I did that. also this was in that file http://paste.kde.org/142394/
[22:18] <yofel> nope, that was his idea (and we're off topic in here)
[22:19] <Num83rGuy_> OK, phonon has it grayed out.
[22:19] <Num83rGuy_> fuck\
[22:20] <SIR_Taco> Num83rGuy_: you can't seriously be having problems with EMU10K1... that driver has been around for well over a decade
[22:20] <Num83rGuy_> I am sorry one of children typed that.
[22:21] <Torch> Num83rGuy_: your children know about phonon and pastebin?
[22:21] <Num83rGuy_> I meant the obscenity
[22:22] <Num83rGuy_> Let me reboot.
[22:22] <Num83rGuy_> BRB
[22:23] <playuh_jd> Torch: Thanks for you help.. THe process is underway!
[22:23] <Torch> playuh_jd: good luck ;-)
[22:24] <playuh_jd> Torch: I'll let you know in 3 hours... lol
[22:24] <playuh_jd> should take 3 hours to copy 1000 gigs
[22:53] <Num83rGuy> I still don't have sound.:(
[22:55] <Num83rGuy> Pulse refuses to use my sound card.
[22:55] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: did you try purging and reinstalling pulseaudio?
[22:55] <Num83rGuy> ah no not yet let me do that and I'll be back.
[22:55] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: ok
[23:01] <SIR_Taco> Num83rGuy: from your pastebin you have 2 soundcards... one is on board via82xx, other is a PCI card emu10k1... which do you use?
[23:02] <SIR_Taco> emu10k1 = Creative Sound Blaster Live
[23:03] <phoenix_firebrd> SIR_Taco: emu10k1 is audigy , live is ca0106
[23:05] <SIR_Taco> phoenix_firebrd: EMU10K1 has always been Live based cards... maybe that changed, I haven't had one in about a decade... either way, doesn't change the fact that Num83rGuy has 2 sound cards present
[23:06] <phoenix_firebrd> SIR_Taco: ya
[23:08] <SIR_Taco> Num83rGuy: from your pastebin you have 2 soundcards... one is on board via82xx, other is a PCI card emu10k1... which do you use?
[23:11] <Num83rGuy> Hmm I thought the built in ac97 was disabled in BIOS.  And I realy don't think the ac97 on my MB is via based. I have used the Audgy for close to a year.
[23:14] <Num83rGuy> Yeah the on board audio is realtek not sure if the via driver is the one for that but.
[23:15] <SIR_Taco> Num83rGuy: ok... but which are you using? If you're not using the on-board then disabling it in the BIOS is the easy solution
[23:16] <Num83rGuy> It should be disabled now but, I will check. BRB.
[23:23] <Num83rGuy> It was disabled. On a whim I grabbed a pair of my daughters headphones and plugged them in to the Audigy's headphone jack on it's front panel and got sound.
[23:23] <Num83rGuy> That's with pulse removed.
[23:23] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: did you purge it?
[23:24] <Num83rGuy> Yes sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio.
[23:24] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: can you try installing it
[23:24] <Num83rGuy> I still haven't reinstalled it.
[23:24] <Num83rGuy> OK
[23:27] <Num83rGuy> OK after reinstall the only audio device in phonon is Pulse Audio Sound Server. I hit the test button and got no sound.
[23:29] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: run alsamixer in terminal
[23:29] <Num83rGuy> I will now reboot (again) and see if it is better.
[23:30] <Num83rGuy> OK
[23:30] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: ok reboot
[23:30] <Num83rGuy> Wait I just got dinged.
[23:30] <Num83rGuy> I have sound in the head phones at least.
[23:31] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: restart
[23:31] <Num83rGuy> OK
[23:32] <SIR_Taco> my guess is that Phonon is set to Digital (as default) and not analogue
[23:32] <phoenix_firebrd> SIR_Taco: may be
[23:34] <SIR_Taco> phoenix_firebrd: however, get him to do an lsmod for audio... I'll be that the onboard driver is still there and working
[23:35] <phoenix_firebrd> SIR_Taco: i think he already blacklisted it
[23:35] <SIR_Taco> never hurts to try :)
[23:35] <phoenix_firebrd> SIR_Taco: ok
[23:35] <Num83rGuy> No sound at all
[23:36] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: check and increase the volumes using alsamixer in terminal
[23:36] <Num83rGuy> That was the first thing I did. Thet are all good.

[23:38] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: you said it was a creative soundblaster 5.1?
[23:39] <Num83rGuy> Yes an Audgy 2 platinum. With 2.0 speakers.
[23:39] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: so your headphone is connected to the green jack?
[23:41] <Num83rGuy> The sound card has a drive bay panel with lots of other connections one of which is headphones.
[23:41] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: is that in green color?
[23:41] <Num83rGuy> And after reboot that no longer gives sound.

[23:46] <SIR_Taco> Num83rGuy: the problem only occurs with the bay jacks (the ones on the front of the computer)? or on the card jacks too(the one's paralell with the floor on the back of the computer)?
[23:47] <Num83rGuy> Well all jacks are dead now.  Where as with pulse removed at least the front panel headphone jack worked.

[23:53] <Mooqi> i am using a notebook with a second flatscreen to extend my desktop. the problem is, that my flatscreens resolution is "higher" so my laptops desktop gets cut off at the top. so everytime i save a file on the desktop it gets put as far top as possible in an area that is not visible
