| djzn | how do I install restricted drivers in kubuntu | 00:58 |
| BarkingFish | !restricted | 00:59 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 00:59 |
| BarkingFish | oh shoot. | 00:59 |
| BarkingFish | wrong one :P | 00:59 |
| djzn | no | 00:59 |
| BarkingFish | djzn: what driver do you need? | 00:59 |
| djzn | fglrx | 01:00 |
| djzn | I actually got a pop up message when I updated and rebooted | 01:00 |
| BarkingFish | and what version of kubuntu are you on please? | 01:00 |
| djzn | latest | 01:00 |
| djzn | and update | 01:00 |
| BarkingFish | ok | 01:00 |
| djzn | updated | 01:00 |
| BarkingFish | !info fglrx oneiric | 01:00 |
| ubottu | fglrx (source: fglrx-installer): Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators. In component restricted, is extra. Version 2:8.881-0ubuntu4.1 (oneiric), package size 22421 kB, installed size 69460 kB (Only available for amd64 i386) | 01:00 |
| djzn | ok | 01:01 |
| BarkingFish | right, i think you need to add the restricted repository to your sources | 01:01 |
| BarkingFish | one sec | 01:01 |
| djzn | i already did | 01:01 |
| BarkingFish | ok, well it should be in there. | 01:01 |
| djzn | yes | 01:01 |
| djzn | i see trhogh apper | 01:01 |
| djzn | fglrx | 01:01 |
| BarkingFish | if it's not, try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:01 |
| BarkingFish | that should go get it too | 01:01 |
| djzn | i see it | 01:02 |
| BarkingFish | ok, no prob | 01:02 |
| djzn | the restricted driver manager | 01:02 |
| djzn | that i was curios | 01:02 |
| djzn | in ubuntu | 01:02 |
| djzn | it pops up all the time | 01:02 |
| djzn | but not here | 01:02 |
| BarkingFish | try not to use enter too much, djzn - our floodbot is kinda fussy :) | 01:02 |
| djzn | ok | 01:02 |
| djzn | the issue is, through WHERE do I pull the restricted driver manager.... is this removed ? | 01:03 |
| BarkingFish | it shouldn't be | 01:05 |
| djzn | well i will install through apper | 01:06 |
| djzn | i really could not find 'restricted driver manager' as in ubuntu system configuration | 01:06 |
| BarkingFish | that should do it for you, djzn | 01:06 |
| djzn | will i lose plymouth? | 01:06 |
| BarkingFish | i know we used to have a menu entry for "Additional Drivers", but I can't see it here. | 01:07 |
| BarkingFish | djzn: I don't know I'm afraid. | 01:07 |
| djzn | would you recommend nvidia | 01:07 |
| djzn | or amd card | 01:07 |
| djzn | i am thinking about getting a offboard card | 01:07 |
| BarkingFish | djzn: as someone who has never used either of those brands, i can't comment :) | 01:08 |
| djzn | currently using Radeon HD 3200 (IGP) | 01:08 |
| BarkingFish | Personally, I run an ATI Radeon SE 9800 here | 01:08 |
| djzn | old one | 01:08 |
| BarkingFish | yeah, machine's not too hot, and it's a frankenstein | 01:08 |
| djzn | and I thought mine was | 01:09 |
| BarkingFish | It started life as a prebuilt machine from HP, but I decided to modify it to the point where I got it to do what I wanted it to do, quicker than it was doing it :) | 01:09 |
| djzn | thanks barking | 01:09 |
| BarkingFish | no problem | 01:10 |
| djzn | hopefully i will stay with kubuntu | 01:10 |
| djzn | can't stand unity or gshell | 01:10 |
| BarkingFish | once you go K, there's no going away :P | 01:10 |
| BarkingFish | lol | 01:10 |
| djzn | gotta go | 01:10 |

| edgy | Hi, how can I control kde today, I think there used to be a kcontrol | 08:07 |
| jussi | edgy: system settings | 08:16 |
| edgy | jussi: but isn't systemsettings an ubuntu thing? I need the original thing to test for a bug. I mean I want to change the number system, In systemsettings -> Locale -> Numbers -> Arabic-Indic changes nothing. I want to know whether this bug in ubuntu or kde | 08:17 |
| jussi | edgy: no, systemsettings was adopted by kde itself | 08:21 |
| edgy | jussi: thanks for the clarification, can you please test the bug I mentioned? | 08:22 |
| jussi | edgy: no, Im at work currently, sorry | 08:22 |
| edgy | jussi: np | 08:22 |
| edgy | any one here who can test the bug for me? | 08:23 |
| szal | afair, Systemsettings was originally introduced by Kubuntu back in the KDE 3.5 days, when all other distros still had Kcontrol | 08:27 |
| szal | as for KDE4, it was originally in all KDE distributions, that is correct | 08:28 |

| volodya | so, what is the community consensus on kmail in 11.10? It appears to cause no end of trouble for me; time to switch away from it? | 09:17 |
| jussi | volodya: probably a better place for that question is #kubuntu-offtopic | 09:23 |
| volodya | jussi: would it be ontopic here if I rephrase it as "why does kmail say 'Retrieving Folder Contents' for 10 mins already, whereas akonadi agent shows no activity whatsoever"? | 09:24 |
| jussi | volodya: yes, it would, because thats an actionable item we can try solve. :) However, I have no idea of the answer, save I know there were issues with kmail this release | 09:25 |
| volodya | jussi: ok. | 09:26 |
| volodya | obviously, I can get sources and -dbg package and debug the thing, but it's not apparent this is road leading anywhere. | 09:27 |
| jussi | volodya: is this a migration from an old kmail? or a totally new setup ? | 09:28 |
| volodya | it's a totally new setup (actually, second totally new setup, after previous one has corrupted entire mysql database) | 09:28 |

| snikker | hi, i've got this error: "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)" in my Xorg.0.log. nVidia drivers are installed, can you help me? | 12:44 |
| snikker | i'm under oneiric | 12:44 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: hi | 12:47 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: did you install the nvidia driver previously? | 12:47 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: hi, on this pc it's a new install | 12:47 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: i mean in the pc in which you are getting the error | 12:48 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: no | 12:49 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: i've made a fresh install of oneiric then i've installed nvidia drivers | 12:49 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: so after that you are getting this error? | 12:50 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: i don't know... because i've realized that it doesn't work because when i lunch some applications they say "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".", so i've cheched the xorg log | 12:53 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: no, what i exactly want to know is that are you having two different systems? are you using the system with the issue right now? are you able to login to your system or are you just in bash? | 12:55 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: i'm under kde now, in the system with the issue, so i can login... in this system i've got two graphics card (intel + nvidia) | 12:58 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: from where did you install the nvidia graphics driver? | 12:59 |

| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: no i didn't do it.. | 13:03 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: did you use the nvidia-settings to create a new xorg.conf? | 13:04 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: i thought tha uninstall was automatic.. | 13:05 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: when? | 13:05 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: open terminal | 13:07 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: sudo nvidia-settings | 13:07 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: when it install the updated drivers from ppa repository, btw the xorg.conf wasn't present in my /etc/X11 directory. I've also create a new one with nvidia-setting, but with the xorg.conf file the system hang and doesnt start | 13:07 |

| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: yes | 13:16 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: do you know how to do it? | 13:17 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: but first i suppose that i must remove the drivers from ppa repo, right? | 13:17 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: before installing , yes | 13:17 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: also remove the ppa from the sources list | 13:18 |

| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: but this remove also the drivers from their ppa? | 13:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: dont know | 13:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: you better do it with muon | 13:20 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: ok | 13:20 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: before installing the driver delete the xorg.conf file | 13:21 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: ok | 13:21 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: did you enable any ppas other than the xorg-edgers? | 13:22 |

| phoenix_firebrd | snikker: Did the installation of the OS and the driver finish without any interruption? | 14:17 |
| snikker | phoenix_firebrd: yes | 14:17 |
| rork | floown: maybe KDevelop or Kate but these seem to be pretty powerless compared to Komodo, maybe you can get better help if you share which features you exactly want | 14:23 |
| snikker|2 | phoenix_firebrd: the error in the xorg log say that a "ompatible NVIDIA X driver not found" but the nvidia driver is loaded, and came from official ubuntu repo | 14:24 |
| phoenix_firebrd | snikker|2: i think your card is a new one and not supported fully | 14:25 |
| snikker|2 | phoenix_firebrd: but if i don't remember bad it's in the list cards supported by the nvidia driver | 14:26 |
| floown | rork: I use Ckeditor in Drupal but it remove all my indentation. The code is "compressed"… So I want I use a external editor to reformat my source if I want better to see what is wrong in my source… | 14:26 |

| floown | rork: can I reformat and autoindent my html source in Kdevelop ? | 14:35 |
| rork | floown: Kate doesn't seem to do auto identation, you can however indent multiple lines by selecting them and pressing tab, I don't know about KDevelop as I don't use that | 14:35 |
| rork | floown: oh, you can with Kate, in Tools > Indentation set to XML style, then Tools > Align | 14:38 |
| yofel | snikker|2: should be from what I know - check in the additional drivers app if there's a recommended driver | 14:49 |
| floown | rork: WOW, excellent! | 14:49 |
| floown | the autoindent | 14:49 |
| snikker|2 | yofel: i've already checked, but nothing... | 14:50 |
| rork | I was quite surprised it was in there too :) | 14:50 |
| yofel | snikker|2: nvidia lists the 540M as supported by 280.13 though | 14:52 |
| yofel | (see http://www.geforce.com/Drivers/Results/34961) | 14:53 |
| snikker|2 | yofel: yes i've got it from ubuntu repo | 14:53 |

| searchfgold6789 | GeForce FX 5200 | 16:03 |
| szal | forget it.. unless they work w/ nouveau | 16:03 |
| genii-around | That's a pretty old card | 16:03 |
| searchfgold6789 | well the cube works... | 16:04 |
| szal | the 173 legacy Nvidia driver has a shader bug preventing you from using desktop effects, and as the driver is legacy, that bug won't be fixed | 16:04 |
| searchfgold6789 | I knew about the shader bug, but the desktop effects are working quite nicely. | 16:05 |
| searchfgold6789 | So I guess I'll have to be happy with the cube :) | 16:05 |
| szal | they don't here on my 2nd machine w/ GeForce 5900XT | 16:05 |
| searchfgold6789 | Well I had to change my scale method to Smooth . | 16:06 |
| szal | enabling desktop effects on that system results in a blank screen | 16:07 |
| searchfgold6789 | x_x | 16:07 |
| searchfgold6789 | have you *tried* switching the scale method or compositing type? | 16:09 |
| szal | no, not worth it, as it's only a testbed anyway | 16:09 |
| searchfgold6789 | well then. I should count myself lucky :) | 16:10 |

| Matisse | hi | 16:43 |
| Matisse | I would like to play so music on a party with my computer, but sometimes the soundserver crashes. Only with vlc it never crashes, but the music slows down ugly | 16:45 |
| Matisse | whats the solution which works, in longterm? I think I chose pulse because the former sound server (OSS or Alsa?) wasnt able to play sounds from different programs at the same time | 16:47 |
| Matisse | ok, my mistake. alsa works together with pulse | 16:51 |
| Matisse | simple question: which sound server should I choose? (I going to check out if pulse is the real trouble maker) | 16:57 |
| genii-around | alsa is pretty much the de-facto standard | 16:58 |
| Matisse | ok | 16:59 |
| Matisse | ah! | 17:02 |
| Matisse | I remember | 17:02 |
| Matisse | I chose pulse (on 10.04 it isnt default), because I've had problem with my 4.1 system | 17:03 |
| Matisse | genii-around, is it possible to disable pulse for a while (without removing setting) to check if it works as good as pulse (concerning the 4.1) | 17:07 |
| _jam | does libreoffice still use java? it seems like with the java update I got yesterday, libreoffice is crashing on docx files | 17:07 |
| genii-around | Matisse: No idea. Debugging the sound system is not one of my stronger areas | 17:08 |
| Matisse | ok | 17:08 |
| Matisse | thx anyway | 17:08 |
| _jam | well, looks to be an upstream problem | 17:34 |
| TheBuntu | dual boot linux and windows... is order the os's should be... windows 1st on drive or linux 1st on drive | 18:13 |
| maco | install windows first. linux can set up a bootloader to handle dual-boot, but windows will pretend there's nothing else there and just lock you out of whatever was installed before it | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | TheBuntu, I always put windows first , the reason being the windows mbr is usually the first 512 bytes on a hdd | 18:15 |
| TheBuntu | Ok... will do.... everyone always says gimp is as good as photoshop.... But im likeing photoshop CS5 's cloning tools better then gimp | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | TheBuntu, never heard that claim , but gimp is good as far as free software goes ..I know windows users who love it. | 18:19 |
| TheBuntu | BluesKaj: gimp if your cloning an image and you stop in mid process.. you gota start over... photoshop you can stop and restart where you stoped... | 18:21 |
| TheBuntu | plus i think toutching up images is easyer with photoshop.... useing virtalvox.. i can never get photoshop to install | 18:21 |
| TheBuntu | opps i mean wine | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | BBL, stuff to do | 18:39 |
| TheLastProject | How do I add the firefox-stable and thunderbird-stable repositories without Muon freaking out about "broken configurations" and so? =/ | 18:50 |
| mr-rich | TheLastProject: you could just be patient and wait for them to show up as updates ... :) | 19:02 |
| TheLastProject | mr-rich: There's a difference between being patient and having to wait several weeks for something that is already stable, just like the latest version of libmsn, Kopete won't connect without it, it is stable, but weeks later it still hasn't been updated... Besides that, it doesn't answer my question. | 19:03 |
| TheLastProject | Besides that, using an outdated browser adds security issues, so I am not happy with being unable to add the official mozilla stable repositories at all... | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, security issues ? on linux ? | 19:07 |
| TheLastProject | Oh come on | 19:08 |
| TheLastProject | There is more to security then win32 viruses | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, thqat's what I was thinking .. | 19:08 |
| TheLastProject | That Linux is less likely to be hit doesn't mean it won't be hit | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, aw cmon , what are the chances now ...really | 19:09 |
| TheLastProject | ... | 19:09 |
| TheLastProject | Are we going to stay this off-topic and attacking someone for wanting to be safe and NOT wanting to wait weeks and is just asking how to add those repositories without Muon breaking? | 19:09 |
| sona | seems like quanta was removed from 11.10, is it still possible to get it somehow ? | 19:09 |
| BluesKaj | the , it ;s not an attack , merely a comment on an extremely unlike occurence. | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, ^ | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | unlikely | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | ..anyway i'd better clean my glasses again | 19:11 |
| TheLastProject | Doesn't change the fact that my question is being evaded and answered with useless comments like "just wait until it is added" and "worrying about security under Linux is dumb" instead of just being answered. | 19:12 |
| TheLastProject | If people don't know, that's fine, but these replies are NOT fine... | 19:12 |
| maco | add-apt-repository doesnt work? | 19:15 |
| maco | (i have no idea about muon though. i use apt-get) | 19:15 |
| TheLastProject | No, it doesn't. After I do that Apper won't update anymore =/ | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, add the repos to the sources.list and run any keys if needed , the update/upgrade> I've done without muon porblems. | 19:16 |
| maco | what's apper? | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | apper is the new package updater | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | it's better than muon IMO | 19:17 |
| TheLastProject | BluesKaj: It seems that there are only sources.list entries for Maverick and Lucid. Changing "maverick" to "oneiric" causes a 404 (same thing Apper does when normally adding the info through Software Sources using Muon), any clue what I should do against that? =/ | 19:23 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, which kubuntu version are you running? | 19:26 |
| TheLastProject | BluesKaj: 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) | 19:26 |
| mr-rich | I think Apper is still the old Kpackagekit ... but I could be mistaken ... | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, sudo sed -i 's/lucid/oneiric/' /etc/apt/sources.list ..substitute the 'lucid for whatever exists in your sources.list now .You may have to run it twice due to maverick and lucid being listed | 19:31 |
| tgr | When I run kontact I get a mass of error messages written to stderr. A pile of errors of the form X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 | 19:33 |
| tgr | Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty) | 19:33 |
| tgr | Resource id: 0x1e000eb | 19:33 |
| tgr | A pile of the form: kontact(2331): Error while moving items. 103 "Unknown error. (No items found)" | 19:33 |
| tgr | And a pile of the form:kontact(2331)/kdeui (kdelibs) KXMLGUIClient::~KXMLGUIClient: 0x89d9c14 deleted without having been removed from the factory first. This will leak standalone popupmenus and could lead to crashes. | 19:33 |
| tgr | The program is very unresponsive when it runs (which is why I looked at what it was writing to stderr). Is this a known problem, and what should I do about it? | 19:33 |
| TheLastProject | BluesKaj: I don't know HOW you did it, but even though it gave me a 404 error at first that did make the update show up... Thank you o,o | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, your sources list should have nothing but 'oneiric' in the deb urls , unless you're running a regression on some apps , which is not good practice. | 19:35 |
| TheLastProject | BluesKaj: Hmmm, yeah, understandable. Guess I should send a message to the mozilla team about the lack of oneiric deb choice? o,o | 19:36 |
| BluesKaj | TheLastProject, always run an update after editing the sources.list or adding deb url repos to muon or any package manager | 19:36 |
| opapo | I can get "snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost" to display data, but not when I use my ip address | 19:57 |
| genii-around | opapo: Does 127.0.0.1 work? | 20:00 |
| opapo | yes | 20:04 |
| genii-around | opapo: Check your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf | 20:08 |
| opapo | genii-around: what am I checking for? | 20:08 |
| opapo | "agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161" | 20:09 |
| genii-around | opapo: Thats your ipv6 address | 20:10 |
| opapo | the udp:161 part should be ipv4 right? | 20:10 |
| genii-around | It can be either, ipv4 is easier to understand | 20:11 |

| Matisse | hi | 20:25 |
| Matisse | When my system is booting it doesnt react on typing -> I can't enter the boot menu. What might be the problem? | 20:25 |
| szal | Matisse: wireless keyboard? | 20:40 |
| Matisse | no, plain-old one :) | 20:40 |
| opapo | Matisse: does the option to enter boot menu appear? | 20:41 |
| Matisse | yes | 20:41 |
| Matisse | the menu poped up but then I changed the setting (but typing didnt work already before that) | 20:41 |
| Matisse | I mean, the choose-a-kernel list was shown, now the "esc to enter grub menu" appears | 20:42 |
| opapo | I'm assuming the keyboard works after booting | 20:42 |
| Matisse | yes | 20:42 |
| opapo | does the esc button work after booting? | 20:43 |
| Matisse | ah | 20:43 |
| Matisse | wait | 20:43 |
| Matisse | setting a password locks the input... | 20:43 |
| Matisse | and yes, the esc button works :) | 20:44 |
| Matisse | "... entries protected by the the command 'lock'" | 20:45 |
| Matisse | but I cant enter anything, not even a password... | 20:46 |
| Matisse | but now I have a clue for googling, thx | 20:46 |
| opapo | np | 20:46 |
| Matisse | I need to press "p" before I can enter a password | 20:48 |
| opapo | that's just wrong. I'm not saying you are wrong, just the process | 20:50 |

| copacetic | When I try to install a package or update my packages, I get errors because I don't have root access, however it does not prompt me for a password, is there a way to get it to prompt me, I am using kubuntu 11.10 | 22:39 |
| BarkingFish | copacetic: what package manager are you using? | 22:56 |
| BarkingFish | apper or muon? | 22:56 |
| copacetic | muon | 23:03 |
| copacetic | barkingfish: muon for updating, qapt for installing downloaded packages | 23:03 |
| BarkingFish | hm. Do you have apper installed? | 23:05 |
| copacetic | no | 23:05 |
| copacetic | I'd like to get this working with the default packages though | 23:05 |
| copacetic | I mean I can run them from the console with sudo but thats pretty annoying | 23:06 |
| copacetic | it just feels broken | 23:06 |
| === bryan is now known as Guest94421 | ||
| BarkingFish | copacetic: is this a brand new install of 11.10? | 23:10 |
| copacetic | BarkingFish: Yes, although I did start with ubuntu 11.10 and then installed kubuntu desktop | 23:11 |
| BarkingFish | right, so what you have is a mixed package layout | 23:11 |
| BarkingFish | you have gnome and kde stuff on there, which is likely gonna mess things up for you. | 23:11 |
| copacetic | BarkingFish: Ah, I see | 23:12 |
| BarkingFish | before you go on, you might want to look at this: | 23:12 |
| BarkingFish | !purekde | copacetic | 23:12 |
| ubottu | copacetic: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 23:12 |
| BarkingFish | it basically tells you how to strip gnome out of your system, and revert to all kde | 23:12 |
| copacetic | Awesome, thanks for your help | 23:13 |
| BarkingFish | no prob, come back when you've done that and we'll see you right :) | 23:14 |
| copacetic | lol, that was frightening | 23:39 |
| copacetic | I ran the command and rebooted and my system just froze ad a scrambled screen | 23:40 |
| alessandro_ | italiani? | 23:40 |
| OerHeks | !it | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 23:40 |
| copacetic | turns out the purekde cleanup also uninstalled my video drivers | 23:40 |
| copacetic | BarkingFish: Back to normal now though :) | 23:41 |
| BarkingFish | copacetic: yeah, taking out gnome does remove some of gstreamer, but when you put it back you only get the bare bones of gnome, not the stuff you actually don't want :) | 23:42 |
| BarkingFish | right, so now we need to sort out your package management | 23:43 |
| BarkingFish | the one I know of which does ask for authority before installing packages, and actually works, is apper | 23:43 |
| BarkingFish | if you could grab that by opening konsole, and typing sudo apt-get install apper , then we can go from there. | 23:44 |
| BarkingFish | apper is kde's default package manager, it's a reworking of kpackagekit, only better | 23:44 |
| copacetic | muon is still there, is that going to cause me problems? | 23:47 |
| copacetic | also I just installed apper | 23:47 |
| copacetic | brb, its bugging me for an update | 23:47 |
