phunyguy | man, I am telling you. Winrar in wine is the way to go | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
phunyguy | at least for the crappy ones | 00:00 |
phunyguy | and if it doesnt work, it's not unrar. | 00:00 |
hallman | Well f.. I'm not installing wine. | 00:00 |
phunyguy | suit yourself. | 00:00 |
phunyguy | guess you have to wait for reruns. | 00:00 |
phunyguy_vbox | wheee | 00:01 |
BarkingFish | is it possible they have the wrong extension? | 00:01 |
hallman | Tried unzip just now, dunno how to check what file it may "actually" be.. | 00:02 |
BarkingFish | i've encountered torrent files like that before, where the finished file is not what it said, like AVI's which are mpg, vice versa | 00:02 |
BarkingFish | hallman: try renaming the last part of the file to .zip instead of .rar | 00:02 |
phunyguy | man I am torn. I love KDE, but every time I try it out, I have issues with SOMETHING. This time it is browsing. I like the freedom and flexibility of not using Unity, but I can also get that with Xubuntu. | 00:02 |
hallman | cannot find zipfile directory in one of etc | 00:03 |
phunyguy | hallman is it classic rar layout? (.rar, .r01, .r02) | 00:03 |
phunyguy | or whatever | 00:03 |
hallman | yes | 00:03 |
phunyguy | and you are selecting the .rar | 00:03 |
phunyguy | (have to ask) | 00:04 |
hallman | Selected .rar, .r00, and as I usually do, just the directory. Nothng works. | 00:04 |
BarkingFish | can you test the archives? | 00:04 |
hallman | I'll install some sfv checker.. one sec | 00:04 |
genii-around | Yes, I believe unrar has a -t | 00:04 |
BarkingFish | unrar -t <file goes here> | 00:05 |
hallman | Are you talking about free or nonfree? | 00:06 |
BarkingFish | whichever is linked to your unrar command :) | 00:06 |
BarkingFish | mine is the free one | 00:06 |
BarkingFish | just type unrar -t and follow it with the path to the .rar file you want to test | 00:07 |
hallman | Size, packed ratio, etc etc.. Lines... 0 0 0 -nan% | 00:07 |
BarkingFish | how big does the rar claim to be? | 00:08 |
phunyguy | the magic question | 00:08 |
hallman | Well wtf, 0 bytes.. Isn't this embarrasing.. Why is ktorrent claiming that all dowloaded fine then. :/ | 00:09 |
ikonia | tone down the language | 00:09 |
hallman | Are not even acronymes ok? | 00:09 |
hallman | k then.. | 00:09 |
BarkingFish | sounds to me like it got corrupted on the way down, maybe the headers got messed up. | 00:09 |
hallman | No I got a full disc.. Thought the files were downloaded before that thoug.. | 00:10 |
BarkingFish | it happens, i've seen it on P2P services, you finish a file, 100% complete, claims it's 80mb or something and turns out to be 3k or something silly | 00:10 |
hallman | Well fine.. Sorry for taking it out on ubuntu I guess.. Like I said, shitty life in general, and ubuntu has caused me enough problems lately so why not take it out on the dist. :/ | 00:12 |
phunyguy | wow he just doesn't get it. | 00:13 |
phunyguy | you can't just say "crappy"? | 00:14 |
phunyguy | and friggin? | 00:14 |
phunyguy | such a simple adjustment | 00:14 |
BarkingFish | nor it appears, do you get it :) | 00:14 |
phunyguy | wait, those are bad too? | 00:14 |
phunyguy | are you serious? | 00:14 |
BarkingFish | If you wouldn't use it in front of your little brother, don't use it in here :) | 00:15 |
phunyguy | my little brother is 23 ;) | 00:15 |
BarkingFish | lol | 00:15 |
BarkingFish | you know what I mean | 00:15 |
phunyguy | and I would use it in front of my grandmother,. | 00:15 |
phunyguy | as well as my 5 year old daughter. | 00:15 |
phunyguy | maybe that's just me... lol | 00:15 |
BarkingFish | could you imagine your daughter's school calling cause she used one of those words in front of her teacher, and told them she learned it from (daddy, i assume) :)? | 00:17 |
BarkingFish | sorry, ex Child social worker this end, forgive me if I seem rude. | 00:17 |
phunyguy | she's homeschooled. | 00:17 |
phunyguy | it's not rude... just really conservative. | 00:18 |
phunyguy | the way I see it, as grown-ups, those words are fine. Why teach that they are bad? | 00:18 |

BarkingFish | i won't tell you how to do your job, you know it better than me, but can he be blocked by nick? is that possible? | 00:22 |
Daskreech | phunyguy: Hey question | 00:22 |
phunyguy | yes Daskreech | 00:22 |
Daskreech | what version of KDE are you running? | 00:22 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: They just change the nick and come back | 00:22 |
phunyguy | 4.7.2 | 00:22 |
ikonia | BarkingFish: then they can deal with him | 00:22 |
BarkingFish | ok, no problem :) | 00:23 |
Daskreech | phunyguy: Want to try 4.7.3 ? also what version of NM do you have ? | 00:23 |
phunyguy | I can I guess... and as far as NetManager, not sure | 00:24 |
phunyguy | whatever is current for Kubuntu 11.10 | 00:24 |

Linuxephus | Could someone be so kind as to tell me when an update for Firefox 8 will be available for Kubuntu 11.04 and what the delay for it is thus far? | 06:15 |
Linuxephus | I'm assuming the unusual delay for the update the usual repository is due to Kubuntu 11.10 recently being released. Am i right or wrong? | 06:16 |
=== Kalidarn1 is now known as Kalidarn | ||
Daskreech | Linuxephus: I'm not sure. I would think that since Firefox insists on all it's updates being called security updates now that FF8 will be available at some point in the main repo but they likely have a semi public PPA that tracks it in a more timely manner | 06:43 |
Linuxephus | Ah, my thanks then Daskreech. Judging by your comment, the main repo must be still working on finishing touches to get it packaged properly for the aforementioned main repo. | 06:45 |
Daskreech | I am speaking out of ignorance with regards to that package but it would seem to make sense that if it's a security update (which all FF updates are now) then it would be pushed | 06:46 |
Daskreech | But that doesn't mean they will push it through rapidly unless it's a critical patch. More likely that they will make it available for wider testing and once they are confident enough that it's not a problematic package they will move it for general use for people who don't care | 06:47 |
Linuxephus | As for semi public PPA's, even the Ubuntuzilla PPA has yet to have it packaged. | 06:47 |
Linuxephus | Agreed in concern to your statement about possible testing. That sounds about right considering the time delays for it thus far. | 06:49 |
Linuxephus | I thought as much myself, but wanted to double check what others might know of it as well. All in all, the delay makes sense if they're testing all of the above mentioned. | 06:50 |
Linuxephus | My thanks for the input by the way Daskreech. | 06:51 |
Daskreech | Linuxephus: You can ask in #ubuntu-devel (or check the Firefox launchpad page) if you want more info | 06:53 |
Linuxephus | I'll head on over to the Firefox launchpad page as a matter of fact Daskreech. Thanks once again for the enlightening information. I bid you goodnight. | 06:54 |
Daskreech | Good night | 06:55 |
Linuxephus | Daskreech: You were right. FF8 is delayed until somewhere after the 17th of this month due to packaging testing for Kubuntu 11.04, including major changes being prepared for those still running FF3.6.x releases. Which readily explains certain delays in 11.04 on back. | 07:06 |
Daskreech | Ah same day KDE gets tagged for 4.8 beta release :) | 07:07 |
Linuxephus | Interesting you should mention that (so much for "goodnight"...LOLing). I'm still waiting for them to backport KDE 4.7 for the 11.04 series. | 07:08 |

rockprincess | hey guys, i have recently upgraded to 11.10 and i'm experiencing the same problems as these guys. i was wondering if anyone knew a fix to this issue, as it's really bugging me :( | 17:51 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, what guys ? | 17:53 |
rockprincess | ooopsie sorry, i forgot to paste the link | 17:53 |
rockprincess | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11462572 | 17:53 |
adi11 | can anyone help? thanks | 17:53 |
adi11 | it really annoys me so much | 17:54 |
rockprincess | the playback and the audio worked perfectly fine before the upgrade to 11.10 :( | 17:54 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, played back fine in which player ? | 17:55 |
genii-around | adi11: The times when it doesn't boot, how far along does it get? | 17:55 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: doesn't matter, I've tried Dragon, VLC and the flash in firefox..... | 17:55 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: same symptoms. | 17:55 |
adi11 | Genii-around : about 1min 30 sec. than it load the os | 17:56 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: Amarok doesn't playback any sound at all. speakers are NOT on mute (i've triple checked ;)) | 17:56 |
adi11 | it just stays there on kubuntu logo with white dotsthan i can hear hdd normal noise that is loading | 17:57 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, pls describe your symptoms and not someone else's , we need to know your details only | 17:57 |
genii-around | adi11: So it actually does boot successfully every time but every second time it takes 90 seconds longer? | 17:58 |
adi11 | the times that fail, is like white dots loading than black screen and all you see is busy box and intramfs | 17:58 |
BluesKaj | ok rockprincess , no sound at all or just none on amarok ? | 17:58 |
adi11 | no. it boots succesfully once in two. | 17:58 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: ok, the symptoms are: the video plays in double speed, people move faster than they should. and I don't hear any audio at all. it's silent. | 17:58 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: absolutely no sound on Dragon, vlc, and Amarok....I can test it in audacity too, if it helps prove my symptoms ;) | 17:59 |
adi11 | first boot it fails and sends me on busybox initramfs. than i do a ctrl+alt+del. and it restarts. than second time it takes like 1min 30 sec but it finally load the os. | 18:00 |
genii-around | adi11: Could you please pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg ( assuming you are on GRUB2) | 18:00 |

adi11 | ok | 18:01 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, have you checked you test in phonon/device preference and while you're there , is pulseaudio installed? | 18:02 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: thank you, i will check immediately! | 18:02 |
adi11 | genii-around : http://paste.ubuntu.com/740436/ | 18:03 |
adi11 | i dont know if my grub is ver 2. i am on kubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.0.013 | 18:03 |
adi11 | i dont know if this helps... i am on a hp dv 6700. dual boot win7/kubuntu. 3 gb ram, nvidia card. installed proprietary drivers for nvidia from kubuntu. | 18:07 |
genii-around | adi11: OK. Your grub.cfg file looks fine. Can you pstebin now your /etc/fstab | 18:09 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: ok, the phonon/device preference seems ok. i have hear the test sounds...apt-get says the latest version of pulseaudio is installed. | 18:09 |
adi11 | ok | 18:09 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: but i still have the same problem with video playback and sound. | 18:10 |
adi11 | genii-around : http://paste.ubuntu.com/740441/ | 18:11 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, , the video problem is a new bug that I don't know how to fix , the audio may just be an unloaded sound module. cat /proc/asound/modules | 18:12 |
genii-around | adi11: That too looks in order. | 18:13 |
j_dulaney | Is there anyone here that went to SELF this past year? | 18:14 |
adi11 | so what is causing all this. i can t boot successfully every time. | 18:14 |
rockprincess | BluesKay: output says: 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_hda_intel 29 thinkpad_acpi | 18:14 |
adi11 | my win7 boot far more faster than ubuntu | 18:14 |
adi11 | and it should be the opposite | 18:15 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: you somehow fixed my audio problem, at least i can now play music in Amarok....thanks sooo much :) | 18:16 |
adi11 | genii-around : do you need to see any other file output? | 18:16 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, ok, now , sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel | 18:17 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: ok done, this just loads the sound module, right? there shouldnt be an output from that?! | 18:18 |
BluesKaj | no | 18:18 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, then open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with root permissions, add this line at the bottom , options snd_hda_intel index=0 | 18:19 |
BluesKaj | that line makes the intel card your default at boot , rockprincess , it should work inall your players after you reboot | 18:20 |
genii-around | adi11: Apologies on lag, trying to assist while at work here. No other files for the moment. You might try to rebuild your initrd by: sudo update-initramfs -u | 18:21 |
reinaldo | After upgrade to Kubuntu 11.10 I'm having problems with the appls: kradio4 and alsamixergui work only as root. Tvtime, trhough CX88 driver don't syntonize any channel. Does someone has any idea why? | 18:21 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: wonderful, shall I put a # comment tag in front of this line then? options snd-usb-audio index=-2 or is this being ignored anyway since the intel card is loaded first (index=0) | 18:23 |
BluesKaj | index=-2 means it's not used , so no comment needed | 18:24 |
adi11 | genii-around : thanks for helping. if this might help. when it hangs on some times it goes on tty and there i can see some output from the sys. i see a lot of "ata1 device is slow to respond" and than error | 18:24 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: ok, cool! i will reboot now.....do you have any idea, why this was ignored/overwritten when i upgraded to 11.10? | 18:25 |
genii-around | adi11: That may be a hardware issue also. | 18:25 |
adi11 | on my hdd? | 18:26 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, no , but it's a common problem with the intel audio , but fixable | 18:26 |
rockprincess | BluesKaj: I think my video problem could be related to a driver problem as well..?! | 18:27 |
genii-around | adi11: Can be the HD is developing bad areas, or that the controller is experiencing problems. You might want to check BIOS and see that boot order is like: CD, hard drive you have kubuntu on, other stuff below this | 18:27 |
genii-around | adi11: Also maybe check in there about S.M.A.R.T. reporting ( when HD senses it is going bad and tells the computer) | 18:28 |
BluesKaj | rockprincess, I don't have any idea | 18:28 |
adi11 | ok i will do that. but my cd does not workand i think i have disable it in bios. | 18:28 |

BarkingFish | i've now got to find which repository I got it from and take it off. | 19:23 |
genii-around | Probably somewhere like kubuntu-ppa-experimental | 19:24 |
BarkingFish | righty ho, i'll look | 19:24 |
BarkingFish | i got it from the kubuntu ppa, i have two, one is main, one is backports. | 19:26 |
BarkingFish | both of those can now go, while I fix this failure on my part. | 19:26 |

mirrakor_ | I know a workaround for that, but I'm wondring if that's a general bug | 19:43 |

Daskreech | 1888helpme | 19:55 |
BarkingFish | I've deleted most of the 4.7.3 parts of kde, killed kdm and i'm in irssi - I am still seeing bits of kde 4.7.3 in the system and I can't get rid of them. | 19:55 |
Daskreech | BluesKaj: You don't really get to decide what constitutes as that :) | 19:55 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 && sudo apt-get autoremove | 19:56 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: excellent :) | 19:56 |

Daskreech | lol more than possibly we needed to know but I think that was the intent | 19:57 |
BarkingFish | well that didn't work. | 19:57 |
BluesKaj | BarkingFish, , hope you removed the ppas from source.list.d | 19:57 |
BarkingFish | It says kdelibs5 isn't installed, so it's not been removed | 19:57 |
BarkingFish | BluesKaj: I did | 19:57 |
BluesKaj | good | 19:57 |
caesar__ | Daskreech: by animations are you speaking of compiz? | 19:57 |
BarkingFish | but I'm still seeing a lot of kdeprogs like Kamera and stuff at 4.7.3 in aptitude | 19:58 |
Daskreech | caesar__: Kwin | 19:58 |
caesar__ | is that similar? | 19:58 |
Daskreech | Yes | 19:58 |
BarkingFish | it also tells me I have "held broken packages" when I try to install anything | 19:58 |
Daskreech | what have you held? | 19:58 |
BarkingFish | nothing to my knowledge | 19:59 |
caesar__ | i had that error when trying to install packages that were from an earlier distro | 19:59 |
caesar__ | not compatible with current version | 19:59 |
caesar__ | kwin gonna be my new favorite app | 20:01 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: how do I find out if anything is held? | 20:01 |
Daskreech | caesar__: It's pretty sweet. Wait till you learn alt+ctrl+A | 20:02 |
caesar__ | update sources? | 20:02 |
caesar__ | Daskreech: it's not doing anything? | 20:02 |

BarkingFish | this is not going well. | 20:09 |
* genii-around twitches | 20:09 | |
BarkingFish | all i have is a cli and a program i don't know how to use in order to sort my pc out :( | 20:10 |
* Resistance slaps genii-around for twitching | 20:10 | |
genii-around | Resistance: I blame it on caffeine overload today. 11th mug of coffee. | 20:11 |
BarkingFish | do I need to uninstall everything which is related to kde 4.7.3 as well as kde itself? | 20:11 |
Resistance | genii-around: i'm on my 8th triple espresso, and i havent exploded :P | 20:11 |
BarkingFish | genii-around: join the club. I've had more caffeine than food today | 20:11 |
* Resistance has had enough caffeine to kill a normal human | 20:12 | |
BarkingFish | if you've had more than 1000mg of caffeine, you're doing well | 20:12 |
=== reisi_ is now known as reisi | ||
BarkingFish | anyway, i just need to get kde 4.7.2 back and i'm done, any ideas? | 20:13 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: do you have kdebase ? | 20:14 |
Daskreech | caesar__: does this work ? | 20:15 |
caesar__ | yep | 20:15 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: no | 20:15 |
caesar__ | nice touch | 20:15 |
Daskreech | genii-around: can you get a list of held packages? | 20:15 |
BarkingFish | i tried to install it, Daskreech and got told it's been obsoleted - something else refers to it, but it's not present | 20:15 |
BarkingFish | unless i'm using the wrong package name | 20:16 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: did you remove the kde 4.7.3 repos ? | 20:16 |
BarkingFish | yes | 20:16 |
BarkingFish | i know where i went wrong, i had the ppa from neon and also kubuntu's proposed ppa on too | 20:16 |
BarkingFish | both gone, as are all my other 3rd party repositories. history. | 20:17 |
BarkingFish | from now on, if kubuntu don't issue it, i'm not installing it. shoot this for a game of soldiers, i'm not going through it again :) | 20:17 |
mirrakor_ | For the records: it was just a firefox problem, not sure how it works for default, but I had to manually add "kmail --composer %s" for mailto:-links | 20:18 |
BluesKaj | odd , only have a few issues with kde , but some are really annoying | 20:18 |
BarkingFish | BluesKaj: this one was a pest, i've seen more bugs filed against plasma-desktop on 4.7.3 than i have against pretty much anything else. a | 20:19 |
BarkingFish | *and that's only in the last couple of days | 20:19 |
BluesKaj | just upgraded my other pc to 12.04 ...sems fine , sound even works without pulseaudio ...happiness! | 20:20 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: maybe just be more careful of what you have and keep on :) | 20:20 |
Daskreech | I've installed software from a PPA then disabled it right after before | 20:20 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: the problem is, one of the progs I want and need is only issued from a ppa | 20:20 |
Daskreech | caesar__: isn't it? | 20:20 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: so install it then disable the PPA unless that's the only thing in the PPA | 20:21 |
BarkingFish | SynCE, for syncing my WM2003 iPAQ to KDE | 20:21 |
BarkingFish | then I don't get the updates | 20:21 |
BarkingFish | catch 22. | 20:21 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: if it's the only thing in the PPA that's fine | 20:22 |
BarkingFish | ok then, it'll go back. | 20:22 |
BarkingFish | When I get KDE reinstalled.... | 20:22 |
Daskreech | It's when you have huge PPAs that's an issue | 20:22 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: You could go crazy and remove X :) | 20:22 |
BarkingFish | i'm still getting told I've held broken packages. | 20:23 |
BarkingFish | I've held nothing whatsoever. I don't understand this. | 20:24 |
BarkingFish | I just want my GUI back. | 20:24 |
* BarkingFish sits and shakes in the corner. | 20:24 | |
BarkingFish | I don't like working on a CLI. | 20:24 |

BarkingFish | what I need is someone first to help me fix this package issue, which i don't understand | 20:28 |
BarkingFish | I'm sorry if I seem desperate, that may be because I am. | 20:28 |
BarkingFish | i don't have a clue how to use aptitude, i'm essentially lost on a text only terminal. | 20:29 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: what the command yo uare using? | 20:33 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: apt-get install kdebase-workspace | 20:34 |
BarkingFish | or apt-get install kde* take your pick | 20:35 |
BarkingFish | none of them work | 20:35 |
genii-around | dpkg --get-selections | grep hold should show you whatever's on hold | 20:35 |
Resistance | BarkingFish: what's broken | 20:35 |
BarkingFish | i get the same error every time - it wants to install 4.7.3 | 20:35 |
BarkingFish | Resistance: you can take your choice, it's all good :P | 20:35 |
BarkingFish | yet I have no 4.7.3 repos in my list, no backports, nothing | 20:36 |
Resistance | BarkingFish: so basically your entire system is broken? | 20:36 |
Resistance | :P | 20:36 |
BarkingFish | Resistance: i have no KDE, I cannot reinstall kde because the system claims I've held broken packages | 20:36 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: does genii-around's command give you anything ? | 20:36 |
BarkingFish | when in fact, I've held precisely squat | 20:36 |
Resistance | BarkingFish: i take it backup/reinstall is not an option? | 20:37 |
BarkingFish | not an option | 20:37 |
BarkingFish | i had enough trouble getting 11.10 on here the first time round, i'm not doing it again :) | 20:37 |
Daskreech | :-) | 20:37 |
Resistance | BarkingFish: 11.04 isnt an option? :P | 20:37 |
* Resistance never upgraded for this reason :P | 20:37 | |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: read that, can't use it cause I can't copypaste all the stuff off the webpage | 20:37 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: dpkg --get-selections | grep hold | 20:38 |
BarkingFish | Resistance: i'd rather not go back to natty. | 20:38 |
BarkingFish | ok Daskreech - one moment | 20:38 |
BarkingFish | returns nothing | 20:38 |
BarkingFish | all this to downgrade because one package is borked | 20:40 |
root____ | hi | 20:42 |
genii-around | BarkingFish: sudo rm /var/cache/apt ..which wipes out pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin .. then update and see if it still says about held broken packages | 20:43 |
genii-around | /var/cache/apt/* rather | 20:43 |
BarkingFish | ok, i'll have a go, i'm just taking out all the other stuff in aptitude showing under KDE / main with a 4.7.3 on the version | 20:44 |
BarkingFish | i think i've figured it out. possibly. | 20:44 |
BarkingFish | i hope | 20:44 |
BarkingFish | ok, i'm still getting the broken package errors | 20:48 |
BarkingFish | what I want to know is where it's getting the 4:4.7.3-0ubuntu0.1~ppa1 versions from for install. | 20:49 |
BarkingFish | is there anyway I can remove all my sources on the cli and install a fresh set? | 20:50 |
BarkingFish | i will get this to work if it kills me | 20:50 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: apt-cache policy | 20:51 |
BarkingFish | ok, i didn't understand any of that, but it looked good :) | 20:53 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: apt-cache is a command | 20:53 |
BarkingFish | Basically, everything starts with a 500, then gives me details of the packages | 20:53 |
BarkingFish | /s/packages/repositories | 20:53 |
Daskreech | policy is an instruction to make it tell you apt's policy on a package | 20:53 |
Daskreech | then you put the package you want | 20:53 |
Daskreech | It will tell you the version you have installed the repos that have a package of the same name and what reop will be used if you install//update it | 20:54 |
Daskreech | as well as version numbers etc | 20:55 |
BarkingFish | installed: none / candidate 4:4.7.2-0-ubuntu1 for kdebase-runtime | 20:55 |
BarkingFish | but when I try to install it, it wants to install all of 4.7.3's packages as its depends | 20:55 |
Daskreech | there it will install 4.7.2 for kdebase-runtime | 20:55 |
Daskreech | from which repo? | 20:56 |
BarkingFish | said it's from /var/lib/dpkg/status | 20:58 |
BarkingFish | which starts with 100 | 20:58 |
BarkingFish | i have just had a thought... | 20:59 |
BarkingFish | i know it's rare, but I'll be back in a sec | 20:59 |
BarkingFish | ok, the thought doesn't help. | 21:00 |
BarkingFish | The status file shows a lot of kde packages which are at 4.7.3 | 21:00 |
BarkingFish | and when i pull the policy on kde-runtime, it says the candidate is 4.7.2, but the 4.7.3 version is gonna be installed. I'm sure I can override that, just can't remember how | 21:01 |
Daskreech | sudo apt-get install kde-runtime=4.7.2-0 | 21:03 |
BarkingFish | well that started to work, Daskreech | 21:06 |
BarkingFish | I got this, apologies for the long message: kde-runtime: depends kdelibs5-plugins (>= 4:4.6.80) but it is not going to be installed | 21:07 |
BarkingFish | E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages | 21:08 |
BarkingFish | what's the dpkg command for fixing stuff when it shows up as broken? | 21:08 |
Daskreech | 4.6.80 is 4.7.0 beta | 21:09 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: i have no idea then. | 21:09 |
BarkingFish | I know of dpkg -i something goes after it, can't recall what. | 21:09 |
Daskreech | sudo apt-get -f install | 21:10 |
BarkingFish | thanks | 21:11 |
BarkingFish | didn't do anything, 0 newly installed, 0 upgraded, 0 removed and 0 not installed | 21:12 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: i think something is really broken here now. | 21:16 |
BarkingFish | I just did apt-cache unmet to check for unmet deps | 21:16 |
Daskreech | Hold on there is a dpkg command but I don't recall it off the top of my head | 21:16 |
BarkingFish | the list that scrolled past my eyes lasted a good 25 seconds and gave me a headache | 21:16 |
BarkingFish | i just did that one | 21:16 |
Daskreech | ah :) | 21:17 |
BarkingFish | dpkg --configure -a | 21:17 |
Daskreech | tha's it :) | 21:17 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: can You pastebin that list ? | 21:17 |
BarkingFish | i don't know how to do it, Daskreech - this is what I said earlier. | 21:17 |
BarkingFish | Unless I have a GUI i'm lost | 21:17 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: do you have pastebinit ? | 21:18 |
BarkingFish | i do now | 21:18 |
Daskreech | lol :-D | 21:18 |
Daskreech | run the apt-cache unmet and pipe it to pastebinit | 21:19 |
BarkingFish | right now, i'd try gnawing my own hands off as long as this is working before I go to bed :) | 21:19 |
BarkingFish | ok, back in a sec | 21:19 |
Daskreech | usual gibberish | 21:19 |
Daskreech | it will give you a URL put that url in this chan so we can see it | 21:19 |
BarkingFish | right that's apt-cache unmet > pastebinit or | pastebinit | 21:20 |
Daskreech | | | 21:21 |
BarkingFish | ok | 21:21 |
Daskreech | > is a redirect | 21:21 |
Daskreech | it will make a file named pastebinit that has the output of the command | 21:21 |
Daskreech | Which technically you could then pastebin with $: pastebinit pastebinit | 21:21 |
BarkingFish | http://paste.ubuntu.com/740605/ | 21:21 |
Daskreech | Whoot | 21:21 |
BarkingFish | brb | 21:22 |
Daskreech | That's ... a large list | 21:22 |
Daskreech | ok time to start dissecting | 21:22 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: as I said, it took +-25 seconds to go past my eyes when I ran it, and with a photosensitive epileptic, repeating patterns like that are not good :/ | 21:23 |
Daskreech | ah and I guess you can't ctrl+c that quickly | 21:24 |
BarkingFish | no | 21:24 |
BarkingFish | cause i can't constantly watch the screen while it's going past | 21:24 |
BarkingFish | so from the looks of that list, i have 10341 packages with unmet deps :P | 21:27 |
caesar__ | Daskreech: why wouldnt a wireless driver load? | 21:28 |

Daskreech | BarkingFish: Close your eyes :) | 21:49 |
BarkingFish | 1 newly installed, 131 to remove | 21:50 |
Daskreech | Hmm ok | 21:50 |
Daskreech | Let it go | 21:50 |
BarkingFish | holy shlomoly. It's taking off a lot of stuff I didn't even realise was anything to do with KDE | 21:50 |
caesar__ | genii-around: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-watchdog.conf:blacklist twl4030_wdt | 21:50 |
BarkingFish | it's stripped phonon and its backends, vlc, and 129 other assorted pieces of whatever | 21:51 |
caesar__ | genii-around: this is a clean install and everything is stock | 21:51 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: the whole command has completed successfully, no errors | 21:52 |

genii-around | caesar__: What is the vendor: device code for the wireless? | 21:53 |
Daskreech | ok lets try apt-cache unmet | grep 4.7.3 | pastebinit | 21:53 |
BarkingFish | ok | 21:53 |
caesar__ | genii-around: how do i locate that | 21:53 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: paste 740630 | 21:53 |
BarkingFish | that took barely a couple of seconds | 21:54 |
genii-around | caesar__: If you do: lspci -nn it's the numbers at the end of the line like ( 8086:0001 ) | 21:54 |
genii-around | Work, back in a few | 21:54 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: *coughs* could you do sudo apt-get update | 21:54 |
BarkingFish | done | 21:55 |
Daskreech | then run the apt-cache unmet grep command without the pastebin | 21:55 |
Daskreech | let me know how many things it shows | 21:55 |
caesar__ | 8086:2932? | 21:55 |
caesar__ | genii-around: I get alot of numbers like that | 21:56 |
caesar__ | let me paste | 21:56 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: according to vi, the output is 130 lines, i'd guesstimate about 120 of those are items | 21:56 |
caesar__ | genii-around: http://pastebin.com/zKKCVPie | 21:57 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: count reveals 108 items, some share unmet deps | 21:58 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: ok pastebinit and lets see what else needs some help out of the system | 21:58 |
BarkingFish | i did pastebin the results | 21:59 |

BarkingFish | It would be so much easier than having to pester you guys for almost 3 hours + | 22:07 |

Daskreech | BarkingFish: try install that | 22:22 |
BarkingFish | candidate is 4:4.7.2-0ubuntu1 | 22:22 |
Daskreech | I'm going to guess it's a qt package holding everything up | 22:22 |
BarkingFish | Unable to install: - depends: libplasma3 (>= 4:4.6.80) (not going to be installed) | 22:23 |
BarkingFish | same message with kdelibs5-plugins | 22:23 |

BarkingFish | also plasma-scriptengine-javascript (= 4:4.7.2-0ubuntu1) | 22:24 |

genii-around | caesar_: Does ls /lib/firmware/b43/ucode15.fw produce a result? | 22:28 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: done | 22:28 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: essentially what's happening is that you have something from 4.7.3 installed that raises the min requirement of other things | 22:28 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: apt-get install libplasma3 | 22:28 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: purge should support that | 22:28 |
BarkingFish | in my opinion | 22:28 |
BarkingFish | apt-get remove --purge -v=4.7.3 would be a nice option | 22:29 |
caesar_ | genii-around: yes, and my wifi light turned blue | 22:29 |
BarkingFish | but i couldn't do that in a hundred years | 22:29 |

BarkingFish | it's working | 22:30 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: that's it then :) | 22:30 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: the command would be apt-get remove with the purge option, to strip everything from (-v)ersion 4.7.3 | 22:30 |
Daskreech | You can do that with dpkg -get-selections | 22:30 |
BarkingFish | you can??? | 22:31 |
BarkingFish | ... | 22:31 |
BarkingFish | right, all that gubbins has installed with NO errors :D | 22:31 |

pepe__ | hi there ! i'm rediscovering kde with kubuntu (coming from gnome) and i'm very happy. Howerever, i have a small problem, with gnom, i was using Synapse + zeitgeist for searching quickly with 2 or 3 letters the documents for opening it. Do you know how can i do this with kde ? thanks a lot for your attention ! | 23:11 |
pepe__ | (using synapse from ppa and zeitgest without ppa there is nothing for the documents) | 23:11 |
pepe__ | here a screenshot of synapse (a semantic launcher) http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/synapse | 23:11 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: Houston, we have liftoff. KDE is up, although I have lots of red crosses all over the place from missing stuff, and not a lot installed :) | 23:12 |
BarkingFish | And I want to get as much gnome off my machine as humanly possible, as quickly as possible | 23:12 |
BarkingFish | i'm closing on irssi, back in a while from xchat. | 23:13 |
BarkingFish | see ya, and thank you Daskreech and genii-around :) | 23:13 |
BarkingFish | back in a bit | 23:13 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: did you install kubuntu-desktop ? | 23:14 |
Daskreech | pepe__: Umm Well KDE has zeitgeist but I've never used it :( | 23:14 |
Daskreech | You could jsut use synapse until nepomuk search is universal (and reliable) | 23:14 |
JontheEchidna | not very many KDE applications at all have zeitgeist integration | 23:15 |
pepe__ | thanks Daskreech, i use it works fine for launching application, but not working for me for searching document | 23:16 |
Daskreech | JontheEchidna: I know that | 23:16 |
* genii-around sips coffee and keeps an eye out for caesar_ | 23:17 | |
Daskreech | pepe__: In theory if you enable nepomuk in krunner (the alt+F2 application) you should get searches for files | 23:17 |
JontheEchidna | oh, ok. It's just that saying "KDE has Zeitgeist" would seem to imply some grand-er integration than is currently there | 23:17 |
Daskreech | No it's just what I said | 23:17 |
Daskreech | KDE has zeitgeist | 23:17 |
Daskreech | kinda like KDE has a recipe managment application | 23:17 |
Daskreech | doesn't mean it's anything grand. Just that it exists | 23:18 |
BarkingFish | yeehah! | 23:18 |
Daskreech | BarkingFish: did you install kubuntu-desktop ? | 23:18 |
BarkingFish | it's alive, master.... | 23:18 |
BarkingFish | Daskreech: i'm doing that now, another broken dep hidden in the system | 23:18 |
pepe__ | great Daskreech, it works very nice (alt+F2) this what i was searching | 23:18 |
BarkingFish | ksysguardd | 23:18 |
Daskreech | pepe__: Hooray :) | 23:18 |
JontheEchidna | Well, zeitgeist is something separate from KDE entirely, in which context "having zeitgeist" would mean having integration with the already existing tool | 23:18 |
JontheEchidna | as opposed to having a recipe management system, which is a self-contained application | 23:19 |
Daskreech | I guess if you come from KDE land :) | 23:19 |
JontheEchidna | but, no biggie. :) | 23:19 |
JontheEchidna | just didn't want any misconceptions | 23:19 |
Daskreech | fair enough | 23:19 |
Daskreech | as long as pepe__ is happy | 23:19 |
Daskreech | pepe__: as a side benefit you can use alt+F2 as a calculator | 23:20 |
pepe__ | yes very happy now | 23:20 |
pepe__ | ;) | 23:20 |
Daskreech | pepe__: try alt+F2 -> 2^4= | 23:20 |
Daskreech | Or 45 lb in kg | 23:21 |
Daskreech | or 0 C in F | 23:21 |
pepe__ | great | 23:21 |
Daskreech | Yep so far the two things it doesn't do that I would like is weather in <place> and define:word | 23:22 |
pepe__ | really great | 23:22 |
Daskreech | ah you can do spelling though | 23:23 |
Daskreech | spell defnie | 23:24 |
Daskreech | hmm wonder what it would take to get a definition in there :-/ | 23:24 |
Daskreech | There is a dictionary application in KDE | 23:24 |
* Daskreech prods JontheEchidna. Who's maintainer for the Weather wallpaper? | 23:25 | |
pepe__ | what is the name of this alt + F2 application ? | 23:26 |
JontheEchidna | Daskreech: lol, I've not touched that in a while. It's safe to say it's unmaintained | 23:26 |
Daskreech | pepe__: krunner | 23:26 |
