[00:00] hello [00:01] i've a problem with dpkg === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [00:19] hello === Don is now known as Guest93927 [00:19] i've a problem wih the $PATH and dkpg [00:19] after looking for helps on the internet [00:20] i realised i don't have the libc package installed [00:20] and i've no aptitude to get it [00:20] how can i fix it , [00:20] ? [00:25] I did a zerofill and a reformated a entire 1TB disk, but now, in ext2 partitions, I can't create a directory with dolphin ... msg is Access denied to /media/722834cd-2063-499e-9446-893d41cd60c8/New Folder. ... before this full reformat it works normally.... [00:50] Is there a FAQ somewhere to help with Samba issues? A couple of my computers can only "see" themselves". [00:50] !samba [00:50] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [00:51] even though that's 10.04, will it apply to 11.10? [00:52] if the link is wrong, google for Samba Ubuntu 11.10 and see what you can find. [00:53] I'd do it myself, but unfortunately, I can't use the net and IRC together at the moment due to a very poor wifi connection [00:53] actually, hold on a moment [00:53] barking - no problem! [00:54] We have tornadoes out west, waiting for the power to start flickering [00:56] ScottyK: at the moment, I've set #ubuntu on that, iceroot suggests you try #samba for now to get some help :) [00:57] for what its worth, [00:57] iceroot reckons samba has barely made any changes between those 2 versions, so the data on the wiki should still be accurate [00:57] great, thanks BarkingFish!! [00:57] it's still using Samba 3 at the moment [00:58] but there are major changes coming when Samba 4 comes out, so be ready :) [00:58] bleah [00:58] i'll just get it working by the time 4 comes out i'm sure [00:58] lol, no doubt [01:19] I have a motherboard with a realtek 8111 and the net drivers don't seem to be installing [01:29] am I basically boned if I don't have an internet connection and need to build a kernel module to get it if I installed from CD-ROM? === massimo is now known as Guest32514 [01:39] will it help me to install from the dvd? === Kalidarn1 is now known as Kalidarn [01:48] Hello, I'm looking to buy a game, but the fact that it uses Kernel 2.2.x and glibc-2.1 has me wondering about incompatibilities, would there possibly be any with a game that was from Loki Game (which went out of business years ago.)? [01:51] the company closed doors in '02, if that helps. [01:53] there is a wiki, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LokiInstaller wich says the installers moved to http://liflg.org/ ? [01:57] the installer is not what I'm worried about, I'm just wondering if a specific game would have library incompatibilities (the game is Sid Meier's Planetary Pack) [02:01] maybe, i read if you can't get patches, no game > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402721 maybe applies to Planetary Pack too [02:03] thanks for the info [02:05] hi, so i switched from unity to kde plasma, but now all my default apps that are opened via firefox (e.g. for decompressing a rar) are the gnome ones - how do i get 'em to be KDE defaults? e.g. ark instead of file roller? [02:07] does anyone have any ideas on how to get a RTL 8111E working on a fresh kubuntu install [02:25] Does the DVD have devel tools on it? [02:26] I need them to install a kernel module apparently [02:28] anyone experienced this shrinking gnome-terminal issue? [02:28] and know what to do about it? [02:28] hays: are you running the 3.0.0 kernel? [02:29] graft yep [02:29] that one uses rt2800usb for your card, i assume? [02:31] nope [02:31] Realtek 8111/8168 [02:31] wired NIC [02:31] oh i see [02:31] so I basically am trapped in sneakernetville [02:31] graft: what are you doing w/ the Gnome terminal in KDE? [02:31] szal: trying to debug an emacs issue :) [02:32] graft: its an 8111E [02:32] ooh.. hm, i'm surprised that doesn't just work [02:33] hays: are there any 3.1 kernel builds you can try? [02:34] graft: dunno.. I have no internet so downloading stuff is a bit hard [02:35] hays: heh... hm, yes i see. is that the only kernel you have, then? [02:35] hays: i mean can you roll back to a previous kernel that worked? [02:35] nope this is a fresh new box [02:36] graft: other than that, there hasn't been a kernel update for Oneiric yet since its release [02:39] i recently had a wubi install of kubuntu 11.10 just to check some things out. well, i finally decided to wipe my drive and install kubuntu 11.10 normally. however, now with a normal install, kwin effects only work under xrender instead of opengl [02:39] blech.. realtek has drivers for 2.6 and 2.4 but no 3.0 it seems [02:39] anyone have this problem before? the system is completely up to date. [02:39] everything worked perfect under the wubi install. === massimo is now known as Guest87562 [03:20] http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3119247.0 anyone know what might be causing this? [03:30] i'm trying to create a panel at the top, i select empty panel and when i try to add a system indicator widget the plasma desktop crashes, i'm using kubuntu 11.10 and i've tryed it 3 times on 3 different fresh installs with the same result [03:30] is this a known bug that has a fix? [03:35] 11.10 seems very stable other than then panel bug i'm experiencing === nick_ is now known as Guest70410 === massimo is now known as Guest27194 [06:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenetwork/+bug/887432 [06:13] Launchpad bug 887432 in kdenetwork (Ubuntu) "Kopete tray icon freezes on subsequent incoming messages" [Undecided,New] [06:13] does anyone else have unreadable tooltips in libre office?

It has been doing this since Natty === massimo is now known as Guest27421 [06:35] good morning [06:36] why does some apps have just a X as task manager icon? see here http://i.imgur.com/54EVH.png [06:58] that kinda looks like the xchat icon [07:13] well_laid_lawn: hm.... yeah.. but i think it's a default icon if X doesn't find/see the defined for the app.. [07:13] could be [07:13] don't know how taskmanager gets that icon.. [07:15] well_laid_lawn: see here.. http://i.imgur.com/4OWS4.png in the moment i use smoothtasks... [07:16] for tweedeck it's the same problem.. [07:16] maybe try a different icon theme [07:18] I have a question about Startup Disc Creator [07:18] the apps that are showed as an X in taskmanager or smoothtasks, has this X also in the system menu: http://i.imgur.com/Je5M7.png === ocs is now known as faLUCE [07:47] Kubuntu is pretty awesome === admin2 is now known as kvoll [08:24] but software manager is not working for me after switching to KDE [08:25] zorobabel: run muon ? [08:25] zorobabel: and apper for updating [08:26] okay, let me try [08:27] zorobabel: default apps vary for different desktop environments , so muon is your new package manager, and apper is the new software updater :) [08:27] zorobabel: but your old things should still run( with an odd looking window of-course ) [08:27] Hello [08:28] zorobabel: worked ? [08:28] Yes [08:28] it works but in muon getting this error: "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided." [08:28] zorobabel: running it from terminal ? [08:28] Ok [08:28] no [08:28] but I can [08:29] zorobabel: sudo apt-get install polkit-kde-1 [08:29] okay [08:30] zorobabel: it is a background proc that manages the authentication issues , like the gnome-keyring ( if you dont understand this part, its still ok ) [08:30] thank you [08:30] zorobabel: working ? [08:30] one sec [08:30] brb [08:35] it worked, thanks [08:35] zorobabel: is it working now ? [08:35] zorobabel: great :) === jtr__|away is now known as jtr__ [09:06] Good morning :) [09:06] anybody familiar with kubuntu translation system here? [09:07] Do current translations of kubuntu come directly from upstream or from launchpad? [09:08] why i'm asking is that i'm starting with translations again [09:08] vprints: I cant answer that, but Im sure if you /join #ubuntu-translators they will be better able to answer you [09:09] is is there a point in translating in LP or are there completely ignored [09:10] jussi: aha, thanks [09:12] всем привет [09:13] zdrastvuite [09:14] language-selector-qt doesn't work!

It didn't work for me with Kubuntu 11.04 either... [13:54] ryangauger, which wifi card ? === canis is now known as Guest15795 === Guest15795 is now known as canis__ [14:13] Sorry, BluesKaj for the wait, I don't know. Kubuntu recognizes the wifi connection, but when clicking on it, trying to connect, it displays on the panel, "Waiting for Authorization". But no authorization box pops up asking for the password. [14:15] how to upgrade from 3.6.23 to newest firefox? i tried downloading from official website but it installed 3.6.23 instead of 7.0.1 [14:30] ryangauger,yes i understand , but we need to know which wifi card , run , lshw -C network , in the terminal . [14:34] hi everyone [14:34] i have a 5.1 sound with which i have trouble [14:35] when i listen music from internet and my kubuntu partition its working [14:36] but when i want to listen to my music from my ntfs partition (win7), there is no sound and yesterday it was working well [14:37] hi, how do I set dolphin to always use detailed view? [14:38] DarsVaeda: on the top of dolphin you have preview mode and window mode [14:38] DarsVaeda: around find [14:39] don't get it [14:39] there is a button "preview" and also buttons for detailed view and so on [14:40] but if I click on a new folder it always goes back to the icons view mode [14:40] oh my bad you want this kind of view by default [14:40] hum let me check [14:41] * DarsVaeda nods furiously :) [14:41] found nothing in the settings [14:42] ha! I found it [14:42] DarsVaeda, , try click ing on the "view">detailed view [14:43] DarsVaeda: ok i found the solution :P [14:43] no you have to click the settings icon [14:43] DarsVaeda: on the left part of the window [14:43] then "adjust preview settings" [14:43] there is a button view proprieties [14:44] select the option you want and make sure to select apply to all folders [14:44] and check use there view proprities as default [14:45] DarsVaeda, if I choose the view in the toolbar then viewmode then details , the setting holds [14:46] just under minimise and close button top left [14:46] BluesKaj: strange does not for me [14:46] uhm whatever now it works, thanks :) [14:46] you have configure and controle dolphin [14:46] i mean top right [14:47] romeyro, is correct , about apply to all folders in the in view properties [14:47] I found it [14:47] been a wile since I set those settings :) [14:48] same here [14:49] i have a HD on which i put all my data. but its an nfts. When i want to play some music there is no sound [14:49] anyone have an idea about how to fix it === martin____ is now known as DocTomoe [14:50] romeyro, what about music on your linux partition ? [14:50] does it play? [14:50] i have some show tv and the sound is good [14:51] the sound from the system and youtube works well [14:51] its a 5.1 surround that i have [14:54] which player romeyro ? [14:54] i tried with amarock and audacious [14:55] VLC ? [14:55] let me try [14:57] its working but the sound is greeching [14:57] its not clear [15:00] romeyro, do you have pulseaudio installed ? if so you should open phon and make sure the proper soundcard device is being used m which is the same as the listed in phonon device prefence. [15:00] err open phonon [15:01] On the same topic as Music, I am trying to import some CDs from my collection, and KIO seems to not like it very much. It is painful to even browse the CD in Dolphin. [15:01] super slow with no CD activity. [15:01] phunyguy_work, try cdrao / cdrecord in the terminal [15:01] BluesKaj: i see Phonon in system setting - multimedia - Phonon [15:02] what will that get me? [15:02] I prefer to use Dolphin, I like it's features. [15:02] drag and go. [15:02] phunyguy_work, how about k3b [15:03] to import a CD? [15:03] anything that uses KIO is super slow with CDs [15:03] yup [15:03] tried with Amarok and that was even more of a headache [15:03] dd then [15:03] would /kind of/ like a solution to the problem, not a band aid. [15:03] :) [15:04] dd dev/whatevercdrom [15:04] phunyguy_work: if you have wine you can use audiograber + lame(its a plugin to get a better sound quality) [15:04] I want to figure out what is going on with KIO [15:04] and I prefer vorbis ;) [15:04] this actually works OK on another PC, but my main PC is the concern. doesn't work so hot on there. [15:05] whyn compress at all , just wav copy . [15:05] if you want quality sound [15:05] wav? FLAC maybe [15:05] no not flac , why bother [15:05] but I honestly can't tell the difference between CD and OGG... [15:05] HD space? [15:06] we all can't afford 25TB. [15:06] why is everyone dodging the issue? lol [15:06] c'mon gimme a break [15:06] I am actually a big FLAC fan... but it takes too much space. [15:06] I use it when I need it. [15:07] phunyguy_work, what issue , you're the one hung up KIO sound quality yet you want to use lossy codecs [15:07] haha, thats why i have a separate HD i ahve all my music there [15:07] BluesKaj: not sure I follow.; [15:07] no i guess not , nm [15:07] I like how Dolphin browses the CD, gives me an OGG folder that I can just drop in the Music folder. [15:08] then use Picard to tag. [15:08] tag/rename. [15:08] but the problem is a speed issue. Browsing said CD is VERY slow. 15-20 second response time entering and backing out of folders. [15:09] When i have 300 CDs to rip... it gets painful. [15:09] i just find why the sound is not clear, [15:09] dolphin isn't meant for media copying afaik [15:10] my subwoofer is not working i dont know why [15:10] BluesKaj: please explain why the features are there, than. [15:10] when i m on windows it works [15:10] phunyguy_work, why should I explain , I don't use it and i know very few ppl who do [15:11] in the left pane i get a shortcut to the CD drive, I click that, wait 20 seconds, then up pops a directory structure containing, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, CDA, Full CD, etc. If you delve into those folders, it has a listing of the files in that format. You drag those files out into your collection, and it encodes as it copies. [15:12] seems pretty fantastic, if only it would work right./ [15:12] phunyguy_work, , you seem to be showing you linux chops , why not figure it out for yourself instead of being dismissive [15:13] how am I being dismissive? I am just requesting help with a specific issue. Everyone keeps throwing bandaids out as solutions. [15:14] I apologize if my comments come out abrasive. That was not intended. [15:15] Just simply saying, there are some nice built in features that I would like to use. [15:16] actually I think my issues are unrelated to the CD ripping. [15:16] seems browsing my home folder is a bit painful as well ATM. [15:16] brb. [15:17] * genii-around suspects Strigi/Akonadi [15:17] * phunyguy_work agrees. [15:17] BBL, stuff to do [15:19] is there some easy "recipe" (package list to remove) in order to get to a minimal kde setup. Mostly I want to get rid of all the "semantic" shit. [15:20] (if it's possible) [15:21] loxs: i dont know how to do it if its not by deleting software installed from the Muon software center [15:22] romeyro, how do you do it your way? [15:23] loxs: Application/system/Muon Software Center from Kde menu [15:24] loxs: click on installed software and uninstall what u dont need, but make sure what u uninstalling [15:24] yeah, I can do that with dpkg -l | grep -i kde too [15:24] the tricky part is in "make sure" [15:24] yeah :S [15:25] and I was asking exactly that. "which packages are not essential and can be removed" [15:25] I think I may have found the culprit... Samba. [15:25] lots of timeouts [15:25] I want a decimal time widget [15:25] VPn isn't connected... lol [15:25] decimal time clock* [15:25] not only that, there is a misconfiguration. [15:26] u can unsintall akregator is you have something else or if you dont need rss just uninstall it [15:26] u can unstall the games [15:27] yeah, but I want to remove all of the stupid stuff [15:27] and I don't want to spend whole day in the process [15:27] with all of that being said. I am having a major issue with samba over this 10mb VPN connection. [15:28] I get 50-150KB/s over it, when it should be closer to 900KB/s to 1MB/s. with HTTP over this VPN connection, I get that speed, but samba (whether it be via cp command or in Dolphin) it is very slow. [15:29] and that same lack of speed is causing dolphin's freezeups for 20 seconds with each folder click (when not in the samba share even. just in home folder) [15:29] just to verify I will disable the shares. [15:32] Well I'll be.... problem persists with shares unmounted, and all references removed. [15:33] after upgradeing to kubuntu 11.10, networkmanager does no longer automatically connect to wifi netwo [15:33] rks that I have configured. Also, it does not remember entered wifi passphrases. How to fix this? [15:34] HAH! It is related to the CD. [15:34] removed that, and it stopped choking. [15:35] So just having an audio CD in the drive, makes Dolphin quite unresponsive. [15:35] any ideas? [15:38] 1 [15:42] trying to replicate copying a cd to my music file in dolphin ..takes a while to read the cd about 2 mins it seems then it begins to cioy [15:42] +copy [15:42] aahhhh... This CD is not liked by Dolphin, perhaps because it has 69 tracks, with like 59 of them being less than 1 second. (hidden track) [15:42] (Tool - Undertow) [15:43] uhm ,, yeah [15:43] still.. seems like a KDE issue, not the CD issue. [15:43] it's a valid CD. [15:45] try an regular cd with 12-20 tracks === amd is now known as kruckss [15:46] it's also converting on the fly btw , that also takes time [15:46] BluesKaj: that's what I did. tried a CD with 6 tracks, and it is super speedy browsing. [15:46] BluesKaj: I haven't told it to convert yet. [15:47] and this is a regular CD.... with 69 tracks. [15:47] number of tracks shouldn't be a factor like this. [15:48] I'm doing a straight copy from a David Gilmour compilation cd that I made yrs ago , we'll see haow it turns out in amin or 2 [15:49] Extraction works nice too on the smaller CD. I will try the 69 track one here in a second. [15:50] I wonder if CDDB is the issue. It seemed to take forever to look up this 6 track EP, but at least Dolphin wasn't locked up. === niels_ is now known as nielsbusch [15:53] naah it can't be. browsing the 69 track CD had all the info and it was still very slow. [15:57] Ripping seems to work OK. It's just browsing. [15:58] for example, I scrolled the mousewheel down to see the rest of the file list, and it did nothing, I dragged the Ogg Vorbis folder over, and it started copying that / encoding... then about 20 seconds in, the file list finally scrolled... [15:58] quite strange. [15:58] well ripping is working, so I will be patient with Dolphin while it rips. [16:02] wonder about icedax, it bypasses the soundcard etc , for direct copy to you target [16:02] your target [16:04] Fantastic... CDDB makes me nuts. Artist: "Tool - Undertow", Album: "Tool - Undertow" [16:04] good job uploader! [16:04] good thing these will be hit with picard in a bit === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [16:08] romeyro, do your ntfs music files play now ? [16:15] an 11 track CD works OK as well. [16:15] Ok, sounds through web browsers have stopped playing ... any clues? [16:15] ie: youtube, etc ... [16:16] mr-rich: have you restarted (all instances of) the browser? [16:16] sounds like a flash plugin crash. [16:16] had it happen many times. [16:17] phunyguy_work: yes ... started all 3 browsers ... FF, Chrome & Recong [16:17] hmmm.... [16:17] phunyguy_work: video works ... no sound [16:18] mr-rich, pulseaudio installed [16:18] no idea. [16:18] ? [16:19] BluesKaj: yup ... and I also can't access the mic on my web cam either ... [16:20] BluesKaj: well except in Audacity ... [16:21] mr , check phonon device preferemce , test the cards listed or the pulseaudio sound server , whatever is listed there [16:21] mr-rich, ^ [16:22] BluesKaj: Done several times ... internal card is selected on all devices ... [16:23] BluesKaj: on audio in, cam mic is greyed out ... [16:24] mr-rich, I have the same problem except I don't have pulseaudio installed ...check for pulseaudio in the terminal [16:25] BluesKaj: deamon already running ... [16:25] mr-rich, did you check the device setting for pulseaudio in phonon ? [16:26] device setting tab [16:26] BluesKaj: I think so ... what exactly am I looking for"\ [16:26] ? [16:26] the device setting tab [16:27] Audio Hardware Setup tab? [16:27] yes [16:31] looking now ... what am I looking for? [16:32] the same card that's listed in the device preferences [16:32] hmmmm ..... I might have my mic back ... time for a skype test call ... [16:35] Ok, same card ... what do I change? profile? [16:36] no [16:36] if it's the same card the just click apply if it's highligted [16:38] now, in the terminal , sudo alsa force-reload , if that doesn't work , you may have to reboot [16:39] Ok, got Mic workng sorta ... it blays back at high speed ... I sound like alvin ... === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [16:40] I would keep it like that/ [16:41] just sayin'. === marius is now known as Guest77213 [16:44] mr-rich, what about webconent audio , like youtube flash etc [16:45] BluesKaj: still not poaying ... [16:45] mr-rich, did you reboot? [16:46] not yet ... I'll have to figure this out later ... gotta go ... [16:46] dammit ... [16:46] make sure you have multiarch support installed as well if you're 11.10 [16:48] multi arch support? [16:48] is that in apper? [16:49] It is installed ... [16:50] dammit ... gotta go ... [16:52] BluesKaj: do you have any idea about that , i installed wine but its not appear in my Kmenu [16:52] i deleted it after i uninstalled it 3 days ago [16:56] romeyro, not sure , have you rebooted since you instlled wine ,,it should show in the apps [16:57] yes i rebooted [16:59] romeyro, alt+f2 wine [17:00] nothing hapened, but i m able to open winecfg [17:00] from konsole [17:01] after upgrading to kubuntu 11.10, networkmanager does no longer automatically connect to wifi networks that I have configured. Also, it does not remember entered wifi passphrases. How to fix this? [17:03] OK, I am putting my OGGs in a subfolder of a USB drive that I have. I am having Amarok use that USB HDD like it would use any removeable device, but i can't get it to see any of the audio tracks in there. Does it not read subfolders? [17:03] I hit the configure button on the drive in amarok, and told it where the music is, and it shows 0 tracks still. [17:04] running amarok from command line shows no errors. [17:06] BluesKaj: its ok i just restore the default menu config [17:08] tdn, sudo dhclient wlan0 [17:11] but now i have another trouble, i dont remember how i fixed it on my laptop, but when i clic on "browse c:" from wine menu i get the following message [17:11] file:///home/romeyro/Documents/.wine/dosdevices/c: [17:12] Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder file:///home/romeyro/Documents/.wine/dosdevices/c: does not exist. [17:12] its the wrong directory by the way, the right one is : file:///home/romeyro/.wine/dosdevices/c: [17:12] how can i change it [17:14] hi [17:15] BluesKaj, how will dhclient fix networkmanager? [17:15] romeyro: Run winecfg [17:15] but i cant change the C: directory from wincfg, the c: is locked in drives [17:16] romeyro: Did you at some point do something like use sudo to run wine? [17:17] no [17:19] romeyro: If you do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall wine that should original config files and so on back in place [17:21] genii-around: i just did it. But its still pointing the directory file:///home/romeyro/Documents/.wine/dosdevices/c: instead of file:///home/romeyro/.wine/dosdevices/c: [17:22] tdn, did you do an ifconfig to check if nm sees the router/modem [17:23] hi [17:23] is kmail1 available in oneiric? [17:24] can someone please mention me? [17:24] just testing something [17:24] paulo [17:24] paulo, [17:24] paulo [17:24] genii-around: its ok, i figured out how to changed the path from the config file [17:25] genii-around: I've changed the line in /usr/share/applications/wine-browsedrive.desktop to Exec=xdg-open $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/c: [17:25] thanks gribouille [17:25] ciao [17:25] is kmail1 available in oneiric? [17:27] gribouille: Not from the standard repositories. [17:29] genii-around, I need to migrate from maverick to oneiric. will I have a lot of problems? [17:30] gribouille: You'd probably be better off to make a fresh 11.10 install [17:32] genii-around, that's what I intend to do. but the data will have to be migrated. can it be done without problems? [17:33] gribouille: It's impossible to say, every user's situation may be different. I do know there have been a lot of problems with kmail2 importing kmail1 messages. [17:34] genii-around, and for the account configuration? [17:35] gribouille: That went smoothly on my box here. But again, depending on where your mailserver is, your mileage may vary [17:45] which KDE version comes with Kubuntu 11.10? [17:45] hanthana: sec, i'll check [17:47] 4.7 [17:47] KDE 4.7 from what i can tell. [17:47] yeah [17:47] * EvilResistance searched through the dev files ;P [17:48] guys, i want to build a Kubuntu based localized spin [17:48] EvilResistance: You don't have to do that. Click on "Help" on any KDE app and then click on "About KDE". [17:48] can I build it with KDE 4.7.3? [17:49] DarthFrog: except i'm not on oneiric ;P [17:49] DarthFrog: i'm still on natty [17:49] * EvilResistance has not yet upgraded [17:49] hanthana, i don't think 4.7.3 has made it to the repos yet, unless it's in a PPA. [17:49] hanthana: 4.7.3 is in the PPA. [17:49] PPA means? [17:49] * DarthFrog is running 4.7.3 [17:49] !ppa [17:49] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk.

[17:52] i never use kubuntu but i want to get it done [17:52] BluesKaj, it does. It is just that it does not connect automatically. And that it does not remember wifi passwords. It can connect alright. [17:57] DarthFrog: when we can expect KDE 4.7.3 on Kubuntu as KDE 4.7.3 released on 1st of November 2011 [17:59] hanthana: It's available right now. Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main". Then type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". [18:01] DarthFrog: ok, thanks. and kde 4.7.4 is scheduled to release on 6th of December 2011, then when we can expect it on Kubuntu repos? [18:01] Or instead of editing that file, type "apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa " [18:01] hanthana: Sometime after Dec. 6/11. :-) [18:02] hanthana, if you still have the ppa in your sources.list , yes [18:03] * DarthFrog thinks the apt-add-repository command is better than editing the sources.list file. [18:03] * BluesKaj wonders when the alsa-flash bug is gonna be looked at and fixed , becoming fed up the pulseaudio bugs as well [18:03] ok [18:04] DarthFrog: BluesKaj thanks, i never installed or use Kubuntu but i will :) [18:04] i should have said sources.lst.d [18:05] hanthana, what are you using now ? [18:05] BluesKaj: fedora [18:05] and I do a Fedora remix too [18:05] hanthana: All you have do is issue this command: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and you will have your choice of which desktop will run when logging in at the graphical login screen. [18:06] I want to try Kubuntu based spin with all my translations in KDE l10n repo [18:06] hanthana: And if you're run the apt-add-repo command beforehand, you'll even get KDE 4.7.3. [18:06] ok ok [18:07] DarthFrog, he's on fedora , the commands are differnt I believe [18:07] are there any buit in tools for Kubuntu remix? [18:07] i think i should have a fresh Kubuntu system to do this [18:07] yup [18:08] neither Ubuntu nor Kubuntu [18:08] is that person still in here that was having issues with youtube videos? [18:08] hanthana: Ah, I see. yeah, installing the kubuntu-desktop on Fedora wouldn't work. :-) [18:09] Because all of a sudden, I am as well. [18:09] DarthFrog: obviusly ;-) [18:09] i am downloading Kubuntu 11.10 right now [18:10] phunyguy_work, nope he left , he was ahving audio problems on webcontent . but I have the same problem , however if I install pulseaudio and set it up correctly flash audio works [18:10] hmmm... [18:10] it was working recently. [18:11] but then pulse screws up my digital spdif passthru [18:14] what gives, why would sound just stop working like that? [18:15] phunyguy_work: It's like the dancing dog. It's not so much that it dances badly but the wonder is that it dances at all. :-) Computers are exactly like that. [18:16] DarthFrog: thanks for the analogy but it doesn't help me any... ;) [18:16] phunyguy_work: Nope. :-) [18:17] actually I am getting no sound at all [18:19] phunyguy_work: Install the pavucontrol, paman, paprefs packages. Use them to control pulse. [18:19] rather not use pulse. [18:19] going to restart [18:19] brb [18:21] Hmm, no padevchooser package in Oneiric. [18:23] sounds are back [18:26] Is there a way to only show icons with no text labels in the task manager widget? [18:29] phunyguy, check http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Icon+Tasks?content=144808 [18:30] hello [18:31] I downloaded and installed a plasmoid .deb from here, but I am at a loss how to find it: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Tea+Cooker?content=85564 [18:32] there looks like some stuff in /usr/lib/kde4, but when I point the "install plasmoid from a local file" down there, it can't find any [18:33] semitones, did you install it from a deb file? [18:33] oldos2er: yes [18:33] semitones, if you haven't already, try restarting kde [18:34] oldos2er: what's the best way? [18:34] semitones, log out and log back in, or reboot [18:34] thanks [18:34] sometimes i have to do that before the plasma widget shows up [18:35] you're welcome [18:35] thanks oldos2er [18:35] welcome :) [18:36] bye for now [18:44] well that didn't work, tea cooker is still not there [18:45] any other ideas? === canis is now known as Guest38726 [18:53] one more silly issue. I restored the default plasma panel, and had to manually add the message indicator, but now it shows a wrench next to it sometimes, hiding other icons. [18:54] the little configure wrench [18:54] and the wrench is also visible when i hover over it. [18:57] GRRR... and now desktop effects aren't working. [18:58] phunyguy_work: pkill kwin && kwin --replace [18:59] that didnt enable them [18:59] i know [19:05] is there a way to sync Kontacs with my phone via bluetooth? I usually used sync-evolution for this job but since I'm using KDE I need an alternative. Can someone help? [19:06] kubuntuianer: mmm i dunno [19:08] So any ideas on this message indicator showing a wrench when hovered? [19:08] I can provide a screenshot if requested/ [19:10] phunyguy_work: screenshot [19:11] hi all. fresh install of kubuntu 11.10 on my hp dv6700. on power managment window it offers me only "performace" option. is there any thing to install to set it "on demand"?

I have been unable to connect for 3 days [21:36] has anybody been able to enable to use Akonadi for read-write access to Google Calendar?

Apparently there are some protocols changed again in Redmond... [21:48] yay for redmond >.< [22:00] I am sure there is more than enough already, but i was just wondering if i could help in designing the graphics area. Desktops, splash screens, or anything like that. I love kubuntu, and would like to kinda help. but Im not a programmer, or anything much, i am quite good with graphics tho. Is any assistance needed? [22:02] Supper_slash: you could ask in #kubuntu-devel [22:02] idk, maybe even icons? I would like to help if i could. [22:03] ok thanks.

How may I assist, today?

Has Kubuntu lost its way? I always had a perfectly working system, even when using alpha versions.. Never really had big problems.. Now, even with official releases, I have a crapload of stability issues.. Up to 5 times a day various processes can kill off my laptop by all starting to read like crazy from the harddrive. Sometimes the @#($*@ nepomuk akonadi couple, which are notoriously hard to kill off.. [23:33] Other times its google chrome with flash (yes, I know, not kubuntu, but this seems to happen only on kubuntu), many systems suddenly dont work anymore (knetwork mananger that changes EVERY time, and with the last update for some reason it stopped using kwallet all together, I lost all network configurations I had), etc etc etc.. What is happening? [23:34] Skype is another nice example.. Well, not really skype, more like pulse audio.. I cant use skype anymore because with the 11.04 > 11.10 update, the microphone stopped working.. why? skype says its pulse audio, I cant do anything in the audio configuration because instead of the * devices I always saw, I suddenly only see pulse audio.. [23:35] try a new user to see if it is your configs that are the issue [23:35] From my (very humble) point of view, every new update since 9.10 has been going down in quality.. more stuff like akonadi, that -afaik- nobody wants, and cause problems all over the place.. [23:36] well_laid_lawn: about microphone? no.. Tried that already.. its just that it worked, I updated, and its no longer working.. In stead of so many audio devices I see "pulse audio".. wtf... ?
