[00:02] I have kubuntu installed on a virtual machine and after upgrading to 11.10, the machine won't boot. It gets to the 'Kubuntu' splash screen and just stays there. === carlo_ is now known as Guest99731 === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [00:13] shysoft: press esc when it's loading or edit the grub line to say nosplash [00:13] You can see what it's hanging on then [00:23] thormchristensen: what's the kernel versions in each? [00:25] I'm liable to guess the version of the kernel in fedora is newer [00:47] Daskreech: how do you edit the grub line to say nosplash? I attempted to edit /etc/default/grub but I was told that it was a read only file system. [00:48] shysoft: if the system is mounted as read only i dont think you can except at the grub screen :/ [00:49] How do you navigate to the grub screen? [00:49] * szal guesses that someone forgot to edit w/ privileges [00:50] Okay, so i looks like it's hanging at 'Checking battery state..." . . . [00:50] shysoft: no you can do it when the computer is booting. There is a point when it says press any button to get menu before the splash screen [00:50] press the button and yuo will get a list of kernels. edit the one at the top and look for the word splash and remove it [00:51] Then press ctrl+X to continue booting (this is a temporary one time change) you shoudln't get a splash screen but instead a detailed listing of what's happening [00:52] Okay, so I'm looking at the detailed listing and it appears as if it hangs on 'Checking battery state..." Does this mean anything? [00:52] salve [00:53] !list [00:53] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[01:18] * szal notes that it's almost always Italians who try to !list here [01:19] i gather kubuntu users are less than the number of ubuntu users, seems weird, cause i prefer kde4 over linux, windows and mac GUIs, to each his own i guess huh? [01:20] a few bugs perhaps , but still i prefer it :) [01:20] nice job whoever on kubuntu [01:24] JoeSomebody: I'll note that there are less Linux users than IOS users though Linux is way better (with more apps!) [01:25] Don't try puzzle certain things. Just use what works out well for you :) [01:33] me first, then friends, i hope to be able to support small stuff, my friend calls me and wants me to fix his facebook, again, he's virused again, i said man it's time to look at linux for sheer safety as you get hit every week lately :) [01:34] probably gonna spend the 88 pounds for some support too [01:35] its not a lot [01:40] :-) [01:41] Sure I'd take 88 pounds to support Linux :) [01:44] i don't really know if i'll need it , but i'm looking at it like an insurance [01:44] Fair enough [02:02] someone asked for me ? [02:12] I've got Kubuntu 11.10 on my netbook and love it. I also have a notebook, and would like to see what the netbook version looks like on it. Is it a major hassle to switch over? Would I be able to switch back to the "normal" desktop version? Thanks [02:26] Kopete can't connect to MSN messenger anymore for me. Does anyone have any idea why? [02:26] !msn [02:26] Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, YIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and, in KDE 3, IRC. See also !Pidgin [02:27] dang, I thought we had one for that.. [02:27] Any firefox users here with dual displays? [02:27] I seem to be suffering from a weird bug [02:27] anyhoo, the n-th protocol change; a workaround exists afaik [02:28] So basically another MSNP protocol change? [02:29] Do you know where that workaround is by any chance? Any information sources about the problem and/or fix would be awesome if you know where they are. Thanks. :) [02:29] I figured it must've been something like that. [02:29] guest123: MIght be an MSN change [02:29] check in the #pidgin channel [02:30] Whatever it is is affecting Meebo as well. [02:30] Might be just another server name change [02:30] Daskreech: what's #pidgin got to do w/ Kopete? [02:30] szal: the connection between them? [02:31] You can use kopete to talk to people using pidgin [02:33] I don not use msn so I don't know for sure, but I thought there was an update in the last day or two to a lib, I think libmsn that was supposed to fix this [02:33] not sure, though, just I think I just saw libmsn, or something like that in the list of updates I just did a few hours ago [02:34] and since I don't use msn I can't be sure [02:34] libmsn might be a good thing to check [02:53] I found the fix for MSN. [02:53] For anyone else who wants to know. [02:54] (Whoever was speaking to me earlier, thanks for the hint) [02:54] libmsn 4.1 exhibits the problem, while libmsn4.2 has the fix. [02:54] In oniric they have 4.1, but precise has the 4.2 package. [02:54] So just get the 4.2 package off of packages.ubuntu.com and install it. [02:55] It now works wonderfully for me. :) [02:55] Direct link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libmsn0.3 === Don is now known as Guest55657 [03:49] fantastic. I think a bad network cable was the source of my browsing trouble. I replaced them all, seems to be flawless now. [03:52] now I have one final issue. How can I restore my profile back to default completely? [03:52] kill the folder? [03:55] brb [04:03] nevermind. :( Internet fail. [04:23] Good call qbit [04:24] f-f-f-f-f-fail. [04:24] internet is still broken. [04:24] so far I have replaced everything network related hardware-wise [04:24] reinstalled Kubuntu and copied my home folder [04:24] deleted my home folder thinking it was something in that - let it rebuild [04:25] SAME THING. [04:25] I am NOW convinced it is Kubuntu related. [04:25] none of my other PCs have this issue [04:25] What's the problem? [04:25] browsing keels over here and there [04:26] sites time out, aptitude wont run when looking for external content, etc [04:26] works good for 5 minutes, then bombs out for a minute or so, over and over, like clockwork [04:26] odd part is, ktorrent has solid activity during that (if it did already, if not, it still happens ) [04:27] seems to be purely http related [04:27] http/s [04:28] Does it bomb out with an error? [04:28] Sounds a lot like a DNS error [04:29] yes it sounds like DNS [04:29] socket timeouts [04:29] is the error in rekonq [04:29] socket errors ? [04:29] Hmm [04:29] have 3 other PCs on my network, 2 kubuntu, and one ubuntu (all 11.10), no issues [04:30] I don't know i have a really funky router here that does crap like that [04:30] The router itself will disappear from the network [04:30] lmao [04:30] And will cause DNS errors but only to some machines [04:30] model? [04:30] Others will be fine [04:31] soudns exactly like my issue [04:31] sounds* [04:31] Some rubbish the ISP ismaking us use so they can control the DNS and inject ads into the search pages [04:31] ack! [04:31] But the main difference is it randomly chooses a machine [04:31] I have a linux box with Astaro Security on it [04:32] if you only have it on one machine i'm more likely to think that it's a websocket issue with kubuntu [04:32] turnkey-firewall distribution [04:32] DOes the Ubuntu machine have the same kernel? [04:32] no actually [04:32] others are 32 bit [04:32] I need my RAM on this PC though [04:32] so 64 bit it is [04:33] well two are 32 bit, the other is 64 bit, but only proxies web traffic from home [04:33] phunyguy: ok have you tried firefox? [04:33] its at work [04:33] yes, happens there too [04:33] as well as chrome [04:34] ok so it's not a Qt issue [04:34] and konsole (aptitude) [04:34] kernel seems logical [04:34] yeah the next layer is kernel [04:34] not sure how to prove it though [04:34] either jump back one version or forward one version [04:34] :-/ [04:34] forward seems more logical to me [04:34] any idea how? lol [04:34] phunyguy: Either way works ;) [04:35] if you have have updated the computer you should have old kernels sitting around so you can just choose an older one when you start up [04:35] rather try a new one [04:35] have other issues too [04:35] (smb) [04:35] slooowwwww [04:35] if you only have the one then you can either check for a newer one or jump to #ubuntu-server and see if they have a newer one testing [04:36] and if you notice, our chat is fine, no timeouts :) [04:36] alright I will try an older one [04:36] brb! [04:37] phunyguy: Yeah cause you already have the connection [04:38] lol came back too fast [04:39] silly SSD [04:39] but yeah no older menu options [04:39] 3.0.0.12-generic is ut [04:39] it* === phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy [04:40] oh well. Time to go to bed [04:40] phunyguy: get a newer one then. might be able to get one from #ubuntu-server they handle all kernel level changes and packaging [04:40] any way to just try the server kernel via apt-get? [04:41] sudo apt-get install kernel [04:41] Just saying if they don't have a newer one for the public you may be able to get one that's not quite public yet [04:41] yeah [04:41] thank you for your help [04:41] Suer [04:41] I will bother them tomorrow [04:41] sure [04:41] night [04:41] time for beddie bye [04:41] Socket to them! [04:42] <3 nice [05:24] I'm having an issue. Trying to run unetbootin it asks for the administrator password. I AM the administrator, but it's not accepting my password. Sudo does and other system utilities do, but not unetbootin. === kuddel is now known as kuddeldut [06:54] After installing nvidia-current-dev I got a new version of nvidia-current and now my nvidia driver and nvidia kernel module don't match. How can I fix that? [07:20] hi why do i need to add archive.... natty just to insatll adobe reader? [07:20] Huh, adobe is propritary software, i am pretty sure natty did not include it in repository [07:22] i added archive.canonial.partner... natty because adobe page does not have the correct version for my architecture- 64bit [07:25] works a way better than Okular.

[10:26] i have it as a bootable disk on an sd card, and bios first boot from sd card, get to the kubuntu menu, select run kubuntu, because theres no install kubuntu option, and i get a terminal type thing [10:27] "to run a command as admin (user root), use sudo . see "man sudo_root" for details." [10:27] is the terminal msg im getting [10:28] where am i going wrong here? [10:28] i installed ubuntu 11.04 just fine [10:37] Hi all [11:04] hello everyone [11:31] Hey does anyone know how to sync PIM via funambol or bluetooth? I couldnt find anything except for evolution. [11:37] Why isnt kitchensync in the repositories [11:39] hiiiiiiiiiiii [11:39] * szal seems to remember that that was a KDE3 app [11:42] kubuntuianer: it's called emacs. [11:42] =) [11:42] (sorry, bad joke) [11:44] Lynoure, dont get it [11:46] kubuntuianer: historically people have been saying emacs comes with everything and a kitchen sink. [11:56] did anyone try to use syncevolution under kubuntu? if so did it work? [12:35] is this an active channel? [12:36] doesnt seem like it, im struggling getting help [12:37] .oO( impatient kiddies.. ) [12:37] :-) [12:38] i asked 2 hours ago.... [12:39] Da|Mummy, ask again...some ppl are just joining in NA and can't see your question [12:40] flooding was never appropriate [12:40] it's morning here [12:40] is there some ready i cant install kubuntu to my netbook? [12:40] i have it as a bootable disk on an sd card, and bios first boot from sd card, get to the kubuntu menu, select run kubuntu, because theres no install kubuntu option, and i get a terminal type thing [12:40] "to run a command as admin (user root), use sudo . see "man sudo_root" for details." [12:40] is the terminal msg im getting [12:40] where am i going wrong here? [12:40] afaik sd cards aren't bootable [12:41] well ive installed current ubuntu from it [12:41] and can live cd into ubuntu 11.04 using sd card [12:42] it seems some graphics related bug [12:42] Da|Mummy: you could have at least taken the time to condense that to 1 or 2 lines ;) [12:42] try to change boot up graphics setting [12:42] s [12:42] vprints, but if it works fine with ubuntu, why not kubuntu, although i only did try ubuntu 11.04, not the 11.11 [12:43] change to what....? [12:43] 11.04 and 11.10 are totally different kernels [12:44] BluesKaj: sd cards are bootable [12:44] phoenix_firebrd, yeah , obviously :) [12:44] so if one works it does not mean that the other one definetly also works [12:45] Da|Mummy: is your sd card ok? [12:45] phoenix_firebrd, I should have qualified that , didn't know kubuntu was bootable from an sd card [12:45] while 11.04 ubuntu seems to work just fine, i did get some sound issues on 11.11, i thought maybe it was a bad update since i was on phone tether at the time, so maybe newer kernals on 11.11 dont play nice on my netbook? [12:45] phoenix_firebrd, ya i just reinstalled ubuntu 11.04 again using that same card [12:45] 11.10 Da|Mummy , not 11.11 [12:45] right [12:46] BluesKaj: i bought a sd card and a reader just for testing :) [12:47] so i should maybe try an older version of kubuntu? [12:47] Da|Mummy: i think the image was not written to the sd card properly and the boot process drops to bash [12:47] suggestion? [12:48] or it could be the old graphics / grub/ nomodeset , or related problem [12:49] Da|Mummy: write the image again into the sd card and try booting, it is better you check your sd card for read /right failure [12:49] kubuntu has a livecd feature? [12:49] I guess it must be a novelty thing ...using sd cards [12:50] BluesKaj, this whole room is filled with sd cards, not a single usb drive :| i do have adapters though [12:50] got any cds ? [12:50] and id say about 300gb of scattered sd cards laying around [12:50] netbook.... [12:50] oh, right [12:51] should the initial setup menu give me a livecd option? [12:52] Da|Mummy: i think it should [12:52] dunno, did you copy a livecd image? [12:53] Da|Mummy: what is the software you are using to write the cd image to your sd card [12:54] basic ubuntu disk creator [12:54] im gonna check sd card with h2testw right now though [12:55] Da|Mummy: thats good [12:57] * BluesKaj still thinks it the nomodeset or other graphics driver prob at boot/grub [12:57] it's [12:58] BluesKaj: if so do you have any reason why this happens in 11.10 and not in 11.04? [12:58] it's quite common in 11.10 , different kernel modules etc [12:59] BluesKaj: so it should happen to everyone who tries to boot from sd card? [13:00] 11.10 has a lot of unsolved problems ...can't wait til 12.04 [13:00] BluesKaj: thats very true [13:01] phoenix_firebrd, not necessarily , the media doesn't have much to do with it from the description , it has to do with graphics drivers not loading X [13:02] BluesKaj: are you talking about Da|Mummy problem? [13:03] yup [13:04] BluesKaj: what graphics driver are you talking about? [13:04] but I could be wrong , since there looks like permission thing as well [13:05] any number of graphics driver both ati and nvidia , even some intel onboards [13:05] k, sd card is clean [13:05] BluesKaj: so you say that the graphics driver problem wont be there if he boots from a cd? [13:06] thats out of question, either way....its sd or usb [13:06] Da|Mummy: write the cd image again into the sd card and boot [13:06] no I didn't say that ...i said the media is probly immaterial [13:06] phoenix_firebrd,^ [13:07] Da|Mummy: this time if you get any error , note down the full error [13:07] BluesKaj: oh ,,ok [13:08] BluesKaj: we need a lot of testing before a release [13:08] BluesKaj: think about wayland ,:D [13:10] * BluesKaj has thought about wayland but , there's long way to go...hope the devs are working on it [13:10] in the meantime X is our only choice and must live with it [13:12] Hey I installed evolution but unfortunately it tries to use gtk font which makes it very ugly. Is there a way to solve this problem? [13:13] remove it again? scnr ;) [13:13] :D [13:16] fire`lala^^ well it is the only way to sync via bluetooth... [13:16] roland: tere [13:16] kubuntuianer, you can set it to use kde fonts in gtk apps in system settings [13:16] vprints: tere [13:17] kogemata jäi .ee silma :D [13:17] hmm, well heres my error trying 10.04 from sd [13:17] Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot [13:17] niisama hängid siin või mingi mure kubuntuga? :) [13:18] vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image === Zero is now known as Guest21600 [13:18] mul IRC tööjuures koguaeg töötab ja see lihtsalt üks nendest kanalitest, kuhu automaatselt ühinetakse [13:18] vahetevahel küsib/aitab nii nagu oskab [13:18] :) [13:19] tule estobuntu kanalisse ka siis :D [13:19] praegu üritan SSD'd tööle panna [13:19] damn u plasma-desktop [13:19] BluesKaj, I already did. Gimp looks just fine. But this is not working on evolution [13:19] it crashes every 10 minutes [13:19] very annoying [13:20] yup Da|Mummy, looks like the vesa driver (default) won't boot X , are you using a 32 bit image on a 64 bit machine ? [13:20] is there any plan to provide an updated version of plasma-desktop (kde sc 4.7.3) [13:20] before the next release [13:21] there are fixes for the crashes I experience, but I don't want to patch the package myself [13:21] fire`lala, yes, it's in the backports afaik [13:22] fire`lala, , have you tried a dist-upgrade? [13:22] not today :) [13:22] I'll have a look [13:23] no, im quite sure this is a 32bit atom [13:23] Da|Mummy: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-mint-84/trying-to-boot-linux-mint-9-from-usb-flash-drive-vesamenu-c32-not-a-com32r-image-829397/ [13:25] BluesKaj: I have 4:4.7.3a-0ubuntu0.1~ppa1 installed [13:25] and there's no update available in the update or backport ppas [13:27] ok phoenix_firebrd looks like that link got me through that step, booting into livecd now i guess [13:27] Da|Mummy: ok [13:28] check your sources.list.d for kubuntu backports, fire`lala [13:33] BluesKaj: well, it's there ... still no update, what's the supposed version of this update in backports? [13:33] hellooooooooo!! [13:33] it's a happy day. [13:35] fire`lala, https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa [13:39] BluesKaj: yes, but that doesn't help, because the latest plasma-desktop keeps crashing and AFAICS there's no newer package in this PPA. I already have the kde sc 4.7.3 packages installed. [13:41] can you tell me how to import addressbook.db in kontact? [13:41] ok , I thought you hadn't installed the latest kde , fire`lala , I misunderstood [13:42] thank you anyway :) [13:45] Da|Mummy: what happened? [13:45] Hi everyone, Today at 5 pm this ( ---->http://blogs.kde.org/node/4491<----) will end and KDE will lose the opportunity to win 1000 euros. You can vote even though you're not from Germany. Spend some of your time, you can vote three times. If you like KDE support it. Have a nice day. [13:46] Sitaup: i have a doubt [13:46] Tell me [13:47] Sitaup: does the website check my ip or mac id? [13:47] I installed syncevolution on my kubuntu machine which is working very well. Unfortunately it only works with evolution. How can I import the contacts I see in evolution to kmail / kontact? There is a addressbook.db in /.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/. What can I do? [13:47] Sitaup: i am having 3 more mail ids [13:47] No [13:48] ;) [13:48] Sitaup: so i can vote more? [13:49] Yes, you can [13:49] Sitaup: good [13:50] Another option would be that I use evolution. But it doesn't use qt so it looks very ugly. I appreciate it if you can help me on this or the other issue [13:51] kubuntuianer: normally there's an option to choose the "GTK+ appearance" [13:51] it's in system settings => application appearance [13:52] fire`lala, this option is already activated [13:53] then I don't know :( [13:59] vote for kde https://verein.ing-diba.de/sonstiges/10115/kde-ev [14:00] kubuntuianer: there used to be an interaction plugin between synce and kde, unfortunately it's not available anymore - iirc the last time it was tested it failed to build [14:00] if I remember, it was because it was using the older kdelibs, from somewhere round version 3 i think [14:02] mh.... too bad. It is very sad seeing no real solution [14:03] kubuntuianer: Actually, I am wrong. [14:03] BarkingFish, what do you meen [14:03] are you trying to sync from a mobile device? [14:04] yes [14:04] right, try this. [14:04] one sec [14:05] have you got the PPA for synce stored in your software sources? [14:05] BarkingFish, yes [14:05] ah, ok then. [14:05] Cause synce-kpm is still available through that source [14:05] hi. i have 2 kwin processes that are zombie. what can i do ? [14:07] kubuntuianer: I have the same issues here, I'm using an HP iPAQ hw6515 on Windows Mobile 2003, and synce syncs that up perfectly. [14:07] BarkingFish, I try it :) [14:07] I don't know what your mobile's OS is, but I'm pretty sure we should be able to do something with it [14:09] BarkingFish, Nokia Symbian S60v3. Well Sync works but I still just see the contacts in evolution [14:10] synce-kpm is installed [14:10] anyone have any idea where the bookmarks are stored in rekonq? [14:10] wait... [14:11] phunyguy_work: why, do you want to edit it or clear it? [14:11] sync [14:11] dropbox sync [14:11] phoenix_firebrd: ^^ [14:12] hm [14:12] Have you set up the GUI for synce to get more than just contacts? [14:12] phunyguy_work: ok, wait let me check [14:12] BarkingFish, no I try this as well === BarkingFish is now known as Guest52941 === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [14:14] BarkingFish, I can't choose anything else. So I have to work with "Contacts". Do I have to start synce-kpm? Because when I do so I cant click on anything. [14:14] kubuntuianer: no, you shouldn't have to start synce-kpm - it should start automagically as a KDE bridge with synce [14:14] when you start synce, it should follow [14:14] ok [14:17] BarkingFish, should Kontacts automatically recognize new contacts? [14:17] Maybe I have to import them somehow [14:19] kubuntuianer: I don't use Kontact here, so I'm afraid I don't know. [14:21] phunyguy_work: /home/phoenix/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml [14:21] kubuntuianer, afaik you need to set the options in kmail to import or autosave new contacts, but autosave can fill your contact list in a hurry if you use the app at work :) === ines is now known as DaMummy [14:21] AHH konqueror folder [14:21] without filters [14:21] forgot they use the same stuff [14:22] phunyguy_work: ya, both use the same file [14:22] BluesKaj, how can I activate the autosave function? [14:22] well, looks like i got kubuntu going, but im not getting sound through youtube... [14:23] phunyguy_work: can drop sync a hidden folder? [14:23] kubuntuianer, there should be an option in kmail settings...I haven't used kmail in a while so I cant recall exactly [14:23] touchscreen doesnt work :| [14:24] I am doing it different, phoenix_firebrd, I am moving the real file to the drop box folder, then symlinking it in the hidden folder [14:24] phunyguy_work: thats a good iead [14:24] phunyguy_work: thats a good idea [14:25] works! [14:25] let me update a bookmark and see if dropbox gets activity [14:26] yup. good to go [14:26] phunyguy_work: good [14:26] thanks phoenix_firebrd [14:26] phunyguy_work: yw [14:27] kubuntu doesnt do touscreen?
