Guest7979hi everybodi!00:00
yaskerAnyone suffered from temporarily keyboard freeze after upgrade to 11.10?00:21
yaskerI hit it all the time when I am using eclipse00:21
yaskerand switch window and back can help for a while00:21
SIR_Tacoyasker: Eclipse, when open for a long time, is a problem... it's a memory leak problem00:23
yaskerno, I didn't open it for quite long...00:23
yaskerSIR_Taco: And I didn't hit this issue before00:23
yaskerbefore upgrade00:23
yaskerany hint to figure out what's wrong?00:24
SIR_Tacowhat version of Eclipse?00:25
yasker3.7.000:25
yaskerI think it's not only eclipse, I remember I also hit it with some other application. Trying to figure out which one now...00:26
SIR_Tacoyasker: 3.7.1 is out... maybe it fixes your problem?00:27
yaskerwould try, :)00:27
yaskerthx00:27

Matisse:)00:58
BarkingFishif you need it again, come back or go to #kubuntu-fr, both will help you00:58
Matisseavec plaisir ;)00:59
MatisseBarkingFish, what would have been the other solution?00:59
Matisseis there a simple command?00:59
kqze_merci j'y manquerais pas00:59
BarkingFishMatisse: it would have been (in konsole) - sudo apt-get install --reinstall plasma-widgets-workspace01:00
BarkingFishif he'd deleted the widgets01:00
Matisseah, ok01:00
BarkingFishthat would have stripped the package out and replaced it with a fresh copy01:00
BarkingFishMatisse: I'm curious, are you the same Matisse who was part of Wikinews? :)01:01
Matisseno, just in wikipedia... with a different name :)01:02
BarkingFishMatisse: ah, ok.01:05
=== warren is now known as Guest64563
BarkingFishWe had a Matisse with Wikinews, i thought it may have been you, but I think they were 2 t's, not one...01:05
MatisseI prefer the correct written painter :)01:06
BarkingFish:)01:06
Matisseno... actually I never really have the same nick in different projects01:06
Matisseor places01:07
Matissethe internet is to curious01:07
caesar_when i try to play an mp3.. it says i need a package. so i click search and it installs. After installation i go to play my mp3 and it gives me the same error message01:08
Matisseif its to easy, it doesnt stimulate :)01:08
Matissecaesar_, was the installation successful or didnt find it any packages?01:09
caesar_successful i suppose.. it downloading and installed01:09
Matissehmm01:09
MatisseBarkingFish, your turn ;)01:09
Matisselike a chess game01:10
Matissewhat was installed?01:10
caesar_plays fine in vlc obviously but wont play in amarok01:10
caesar_or in my alarm clock app01:10
Matissefine or not in alarm clock?01:11
BarkingFishcaesar_: did you do the restricted packages downloads?01:11
caesar_i downloaded whatever it asked me in amarok01:12
BarkingFish!mp301:12
ubottuFor 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/FreeFormats01:12
caesar_BarkingFish: no01:12
BarkingFishcaesar_: follow the instructions above and get all the restricted codecs, a lot of stuff won't play without them - we don't include them by default, because they're proprietary material01:14
BarkingFishor simply open konsole and type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras01:14
caesar_downloading now01:15
caesar_does anyone here have android?01:15
MatisseBarkingFish, but why would it already work with vlc? does it have its own libraries?01:16
caesar_vlc has it's own codec internaly01:16
caesar_it will play everything01:17
BarkingFishyep01:17
Matisseok01:17
caesar_vlc is beast01:17
caesar_but i need mp3s to play in my alarm clock01:18
caesar_and when it's time for the alarm to go off... the app just disappears01:18
BarkingFishcaesar_: follow the command I gave you above, or the instructions on the page ubottu sent you :)01:18
BarkingFishthat will install all the restricted stuff, codecs etc, that we don't issue as standard on install01:19
caesar_BarkingFish: i'm at 35%01:19
BarkingFishok :)01:19
caesar_slow ass 3g tether01:19
BarkingFishi'm on wifi, sharing a single beacon with about 40 other people :P01:19
BarkingFishbut only until tomorrow... I *finally* (after 2 years) get cable :)01:20
caesar_im sure your speeds are still faster than mine01:20
caesar_and i'm the sole person connected01:20
jjman6i can't get kdenlive to record via webcam. it doesn't seem to connect. i confirmed its on /dev/video0 the default works fine in other apps01:20
guest1join /thefurststate01:23
guest1#join /thefurststate01:24
BarkingFishjjman6: you need to open a terminal up (ALT+F2) and type sudo apt-get dvgrab01:24
BarkingFishsorry01:24
BarkingFishdon't do that01:24
jjman6install?01:24
BarkingFishit's sudo apt-get install dvgrab01:24
jjman6;-)01:24
BarkingFishi'm sorry, i'm really tired tonight and I'm not allowed to go to bed for medical reasons :)01:24
jjman6its already installed01:25
BarkingFishhm01:25
BarkingFishthat's odd then...01:25
caesar_medical reasons?01:25
BarkingFishcaesar_: I have to have an EEG done today, which requires me to be very tired and not having slept.01:26
jjman6i tried gucview (it crashes)  but lucview works sorta, Kamoso seems to work fine01:26
BarkingFishIt's to see if my being overtired makes me have Epileptic seizures :P01:26
BarkingFishyou'd think they could find a better way to do it :)01:26
caesar_oh ok01:26
BarkingFishjjman6: can you open the cam in vlc?01:27
jjman6ummm i tried but was unable to figure out how01:27
jjman6BarkingFish: it also works fine in all my IM clients (kopete, aMsn, Skype, Jitsi)01:27
BarkingFishjjman6: Open VLC, click Media, Open Capture Device, and in device selection, under video, type /dev/video0 and click play01:28
jjman6BarkingFish: weird i tried exactly that yesterday and it didn't work.  but it works now in vlc01:29
BarkingFishhmmm...01:29
BarkingFishthis is a tough one. If the cam works there, it should function perfectly in kdenlive01:30
jjman6i concur01:30
BarkingFishone sec01:30
jjman6i'm wondering if my partial upgrade has fubard things.  i tried upgrading to 11.10  and it broke & refuses to do the upgrade01:31
BarkingFishjjman6: right, we've had this issue before. I know there's a solution to it and I can't remember what it is :P01:31
jjman6which is my second trouble.  I can't upgrade kubuntu01:31
jjman6sadly gucview just crashes when i try to do a capture.  i was looking forward to trying it in spite of it being a gtk+ app01:33
BarkingFishjjman6: open up konsole please, and type the following 2 commands - do each one individually and let it finish01:33
BarkingFishsudo apt-get -f install01:33
jjman6i've done that a dozen times01:33
BarkingFishdpkg --configure -a01:33
BarkingFishand that one?01:33
jjman6yea i tried em both01:34
BarkingFishmyxzptlk...01:34
BarkingFishone moment then :)01:34
jjman6i'll give em a try again as i've installed a bunch of stuff since01:34
jjman6i'm  probably going to have to do a clean install at some point i'm just too lazy right now.  and too dependant on my laptop for the time being.  When i get my other computer up i'll do a clean install to rememdy the upgrade issue01:35
BarkingFishjjman6: i'm asking our devs01:35
jjman6should i try the dist upgrade again?01:36
jjman6like i said i have been installing a lot of pkg's lately since hte upgrade didn't work01:36
=== OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish
BarkingFishsorry about that, beacon went down01:38
jjman6how can digiKam no longer be supported.  blarg01:39
=== zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn
caesar_BarkingFish:  technical difficulties?01:44
BarkingFishcaesar_: yeah, our main wifi beacon has died, so we're running on the backup, which is slow01:45
BarkingFishi lose connection if I open a web browser to look for something01:45
BarkingFishDaskreech: do you have any ideas on jjman6's problem?01:45
caesar_package installation is stuck at 19%01:48
caesar_grrr01:48
BarkingFishjjman6: are you about?01:50
jjman6yea01:50
BarkingFishI just spoke with our devs, and the suggestion (unfortunately) is that if the package upgrade has been interrupted, the best way to go about this is a reinstall01:50
jjman6i'm running the dist upgrade again just for gng's as i haven't tried it in a few weeks.  it'll be another ~40mins b4 its done fetching pkgs on  my slow net01:50
BarkingFishdo you have everything backed up?01:51
BarkingFishactually, I just remembered the repair I was given :)01:51
BarkingFishI tried the upgrade through a GUI01:51
jjman6well it never actually started the install.  it would stop just after fetching w/ an error on some pkg/dependancy01:51
BarkingFishand it failed - i did it through a TTY and it went through...01:52
BarkingFishif you can drop to TTY1 (CTRL ALT F1), login as your user, and type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  - if your current upgrade doesn't work - see how you get on that way.01:53
BarkingFishAre you doing your upgrade through something like apper?01:53
jjman6the kpackagekit notifier.   I have done it through console b4 as well.  i can't remember if i tried it this time or not.  i believe i did.   we'll see if this fails in ~30mins01:54
jjman626%01:54
BarkingFishyeah, cancel it01:54
BarkingFishdist-upgrade through kpackagekit is broken01:55
BarkingFishI know this, because that's how my upgrade went wrong01:55
jjman6ah ok01:55
caesar_BarkingFish: the restricted drivers installation froze at 19%.. now when i try to reinstall it it says already installed. but mp3s still wont play01:56
jjman6errr i forgot how do i remove the lock on apt.01:56
BarkingFishjjman6: close kpackagekit01:56
jjman6errr i did its still locked01:56
BarkingFishthen open konsole, and type ps aux | grep dpkg01:57
BarkingFishfind the dpkg PID's and kill them with  kill -9 <pid>01:57
BarkingFishyou will need to repair the dpkg configuration after you do this - so dpkg --configure -a  before you do the instructions I listed above01:58
jjman6still not flying01:59
BarkingFishdang.01:59
BarkingFish!lock01:59
jjman6when i try to kill the dpkg it says no such process01:59
BarkingFishare the processes marked as yours or root?02:00
jjman6mine02:00
jjman6it only lists 102:00
BarkingFishthen you shouldn't have dpkg open...02:00
jjman6no argument here ;-)  but its still locked02:01
jjman6isn't there  a file i can delete to remove the lock.  i forget where & what it is02:03
BarkingFishthat would be /var/lib/dpkg/lock iirc02:04
jjman6errr fail.  still says its locked.  brb02:05
BarkingFishreboot02:05
BarkingFishthat will clear the lock02:05
BarkingFishhi again02:08
BarkingFishdo you have scrollback?02:08
jjman6hi.  no i don't think its setup02:09
BarkingFishright, i'll repaste the instructions for you02:09
jjman6its going now.   But i'm pretty sure i DID try this b402:09
jjman6from console02:09
BarkingFishare you doing it from the TTY as I said?02:10
jjman6yep.02:10
BarkingFishright, as part of that, you need to close kdm down.02:11
BarkingFishi found it wouldn't work unless kde was stopped02:11
jjman6oh.  i didn't catch that part02:11
BarkingFishso ctrl alt f2, login again, and type sudo service kdm stop02:11
BarkingFishapologies, but you'll lose us, and when you come back, i may not be here, someone will help you though :)02:12
BarkingFishi need to rest, since i'm not going to bed tonight.02:12
jjman6k02:12
jjman6thx for the help02:12
BarkingFishyou're welcome02:12
BarkingFishi'll see you tomorrow night to find out how you got on02:12
BarkingFish*tonight02:13
BarkingFishsorry02:13
jjman6roger.  i'll finish it a bit later.02:13
BarkingFishright guys, that's pretty much my lot for tonight, i need to go veg out for a bit, since i can't sleep02:13
BarkingFishanyone who needs help, there are still people about, someone will get to you in due time :)02:14
BarkingFishgood night all, sleep well :)02:14
DaskreechI Guess #kdenlive was tried already ?02:51
Daskreechjjman6: yuck who upgrades through kpackagekit?02:52
jjman6yea no one there02:53
Daskreechok02:53
Daskreechso where are we now?02:53
jjman6Daskreech: thats what its for,02:53
jjman6errr well the upgrade just errored out on me now.02:53
jjman6E: Internal Error, Could not early remove libgl1-mesa-glx02:53
jjman6but i didn't shut down kdm & run it yet like Barkingfish suggested02:54
Daskreechjjman6: ok do youhave irssi?02:54
jjman6ummm whats that02:56
jjman6lol02:56
jjman6brb i'll be back in a bit.  imma try running it w/ kdm shut down03:01
Daskreechback ?03:05
jjman6Daskreech: yea it still fails same error03:05
Daskreechsudo apt-get remove libgl1-mesa-glx03:05
jjman6its removing a whole bunch of other stuff & upgrading stuff03:07
jjman6ok, now what should i run it again03:10
jjman6Daskreech:  ok now its erroring on a new pkg  Internal Error, Could not early remove liblcms103:11
jjman6it won't let me remove that pkg,  due to unmet dependancies/broken packages03:13
Daskreechwhat's the dependent packages?03:15
jjman6several,  java related pkg's03:15
Daskreechrecognize any of them?03:15
jjman6openjdk stuff i reckon03:16
jjman6they all are related to java runtime03:16
DaskreechHmm03:16
DaskreechRIght03:16
DaskreechIf it helps any I  normally dump X when I'm upgrading and having issues. Makes everything go faster03:17
jjman6what do u mean by dump.03:18
jjman6this is the 1st time i've had these kinds of problems w/ upgrades.  i've had  other propblems with older upgrades, but i was always able to fix them easily03:18
Daskreechjjman6: I'd install irssi and then sudo apt-get remove X && sudo apt-get autoremove03:30
Daskreechthen dist-upgrade03:30
jjman6ok i install irssi already03:31
DaskreechIt takes waaaay shorter than waiting for all the GUI stuff to update03:31
DaskreechIt's not quite a reinstall but it is a refresh03:31
jjman6X is not a pkg03:32
jjman6u mean kdm?03:33
Daskreechjjman6: xorg is a package03:41
Daskreechjjman6: xserver-xorg03:42
jjman6Daskreech:  still getting same error stuck on liblcms103:46
Daskreechjjman6: can you remove the dependent files?03:46
jjman6Daskreech: ok that let it upgrade another 55pkgs03:48
Daskreechjjman6: :)03:49
jjman6Daskreech: hmmm well i guess this is going to make or break me.  its removing a ton of stuff (all my apps)  and it wants to shutdown kdm so i guess i'll seeu on the flip side i have a feeling its going to be totally broken w/ only some of pkgs upgraded03:52
Daskreechjjman6: wait03:53
jjman6yes?03:53
Daskreechjjman6: can you jump to terminal 2 and type irssi -c irc.freenode.net ?03:53
Daskreechthen type /join #kubuntu03:53
jjman6oh that console irc?03:53
Daskreechjjman6: Yes then we can work you through whatever03:54
jjman6ok on it03:54
jjman66Daskreech: ok i'm here03:56
Daskreechjjman66: irrsi03:56
jjman66yep03:57
Daskreechirssi03:57
DaskreechGraet03:57
Daskreechok continue03:57
jjman66roger03:57
jjman66ok well now i can't see the stuff i had running in Konsole03:58
Daskreechjjman66: Oh dear03:58
Daskreechyou were doing it in konsole ?03:58
jjman66yea03:58
Daskreechthat's not going to work well :-D03:58
Daskreechjjman66: alt+ctrl+F7 and stop it perhaps ?03:58
jjman66it was in F8 cause i had restarted kdm03:59
jjman66somehow03:59
jjman66well i don't see dpkg running in process's  so it may be done04:01
jjman66Daskreech: should i run distup again04:03
Daskreechjjman66: do that in a terminal04:05
jjman66ok i got it running again from where it left off.04:05
jjman66i had to remove the pkg again where it was doing all its magic from04:06
Daskreechalright04:06
jjman66i hope its not working backwards.  i'm down from 1400+ pkgs to upgrd to 700+  but its removing an aweful lot of stuff by toasting those dependancy issues.  i hope it knows to reinstall that stuff its removed04:08
Daskreechjjman66: maybe not04:08
jjman66If not then its gonna toast my system.  i'll have to do a fresh install if it doesnt.  damn i shoulda taken a snapshot of all my installed pkgs first04:09
jjman66this is why i dread doing a dist-upgrade cause i've had problems w/ every single one since 8.04 on various systems04:11
Matisseis it possible to configure alsa that it can play multiple sound sources at the same time (f.e. vlc, system sounds, flashplugin)?04:24
Daskreechjjman66: Yeah I tend to do things like back up ~/.kde and grab my dpkg --get-selections before I upgrade04:25
jjman66yea on my main comp.  i have a script i wrote to automatically grab my pkg's every day  cause i'm always installing shit04:27
jjman66is there a log of apt-get/dpkg actions in case i need to manually recover all the pkgs that were removed?04:30
Daskreechjjman66: for the most part reinstalling kubuntu-desktop will get you back functionality04:31
DaskreechIf you are missing anything else then you'll notice and reinstall04:31
Daskreechif you don't notice it being missing probably wasn't needed04:31
DaskreechUnless you have a lot of automated scripts04:31
jjman66well when there are potentially over 100 things that it removed i won't remember all the things.  & i hate finding out later that its missing when i DO need it04:32
jjman66cause i'm not always online w/ my laptop04:32
jjman66of course moving forward i will get my script running on all my computers that does a snapshot of all my pkg's so i don't have this problem.  But my question still stands is there a log of things that are removed that i can pull info from04:34
jjman66it seems to be chugging away w/ the full upgrade at any rate it should be done any time now.04:36
jjman66Matisse: if i remember correctly i did that a long while ago. Unfortunately i can't tell u how cause it was some time ago. but its possible04:40
jjman66ok its done.  the moment of truth i reckon time for a reboot.04:41
DaskreechYes there is04:45
jjman66Daskreech: ok i'm back and its not booting up kdm the upgrade finished.  its just hanging on tthe pre-login screen04:48
Daskreechjjman66: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop04:48

ksinkarHello guys, i cannot access my remote git servers while I am in kubuntu but when i switch to ubuntu I can access them. Once I have logged into ubuntu normal and then switch back into kubuntu, I can access all my git repos. KDE seems to disallow my ssh authentication. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?06:24
jjman6_wtf so they had to confuse ppl more and change kpackagekit to muon!?!06:24
rajumohhey what's that widget/live wall where there is a small animated figure moving along on the desktop in KDE ?06:49
jjman6_kdenlive won't run after upgrade. get a Fatal error saying MLT SDL module missing only mlt related packages i can find are installed06:52
jjman6yahoo won't connect in Kopete now after the upgrade.  which is ironic because prior to upgrade my msn wouldn't connect in kopete but yahoo worked just fine07:09

BarkingFishGuys, anyone here good with dealing with HDD issues please? I'm doing a rather large transfer from external HDD to my PC, it's on a hi speed USB socket, and the device is Hi speed too.19:58
BarkingFishThe problem is that the copy from the external HDD has stuck. It's at 51% and is going nowhere, yet the device is still reading.19:58
BarkingFishThe transfer in total is 31.9GiB19:59
szalhow do you know it's stuck?19:59
BarkingFishszal: the note in the panel, where it normally says Copying (x% of xGiB) - has changed simply to Copying:20:00
BarkingFishthe total has vanished, and the progress bar in the copy window hasn't moved for about 15 minutes20:00
BarkingFishi don't want to stop the copy since this is the disk I use on my USB PVR, and I don't want to screw it up20:01
BarkingFishor corrupt the recordings I'm moving20:01

kakoytouhow to configure code::blocks20:06

Thinkerer68jalel: You should be able to use some format specifier in printf to display the number without exponential notation20:06
BarkingFishright, now I'm lost. The drive has stopped indicating it's reading, the copy window is still hung at 51% and not everything has moved off the device.20:06
Thinkerer68jalel: either that or work with smaller numbers20:06
jalelThinkerer68:  how can i use a number without the e20:07
BarkingFishCould it be that the file it was trying to move is corrupted?20:07
jalelcan i specifu samething20:07
BarkingFishor would it have warned me?20:07
Thinkerer68jalel: I don't know offhand. Are you using Gawk or Mawk?20:08
jalelno the simple awk20:08
jaleli think no differnence between20:08
jalelgawk and awk20:08
Thinkerer68jalel: On Kubuntu, you either have Gawk or Mawk. There are important distinctions to be made.20:08
BluesKajBarkingFish, frequently with large files I've noticed the transfer notice stall, but it eventually catches up ..it's just not very good at calcs20:08
kakoytoui want when i click on "build and run" to open konsole and view result of my program there20:09
jalelThinkerer68: nice but the command that i use is awk -f20:09
kakoytouplease someone tell me how to do this20:09

BluesKajBarkingFish, TiVo ?20:13
Thinkerer68jalel: post output of command: "awk -W version"20:13
szalBarkingFish: normally when progress indicators etc. disappear in a Copy dialog, it's due to a large number of small files being copied20:14
BarkingFishBluesKaj: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigo-USB-Digital-Freeview-Recorder/dp/B002P8R74M20:14
szalBarkingFish: other than that..  better copy, then delete the source files on success20:14
BarkingFishszal: the files are around 550MiB each20:14
kakoytoui just google it20:14
kakoytouand only think i do is to paste this sudo apt-get install g++ on konsole20:15
BarkingFishI put one of my 500GB externals on it so I'd have more time to watch stuff, until I realised it was compatible formatting with my PC, then decided to clear the disk once a month20:15
kakoytoui didn't have g++ compiler i think20:15

nbnds_Thank you for the hint, TheLastProject23:00
thislinuxis4uhi guys. I am a little irked. its been a year since my bluetooth headset worked in kde.  so I just installed on a blank hdd 11.10 in an effort to get this functionality back. NO DICE! what does it take to get a bluetooth headset working with kubuntu?23:09
thislinuxis4uit worked in 10.10 perfectly. then upgraded to 11.04 and it broke. have not been able to get it back. spent hours trying googled all over and was not able to find about anyone getting it work.23:10
thislinuxis4uso has kubuntu just given up on this?23:12
=== mightyd is now known as Mighty-D
Riddellthislinuxis4u: hmm, that's a tricky one to answer since getting it working is the responsibility of many parts of the system23:21
=== Mighty-D is now known as DavidMora
Riddellso it might be a problem with linux, udev, pulseaudio, phonon or phonon KDE integraiton23:21
Riddellor bluedevil23:21
Riddellprobably afiestas on #kde-devel would be a good guy to ask23:22
thislinuxis4uthanks23:24
thislinuxis4uwell the first thing is I cant get the headset paired with kubuntu.  I can almost get it paired and but it never accepts the key even if I manually specify 0000 it still never finishes.23:26
thislinuxis4uand this is a headset I have paired with windows and my phone(I connect to it almost daily with my phone) so I am sure the headset works.23:27
