[00:00] <Guest7979> hi everybodi!
[00:21] <yasker> Anyone suffered from temporarily keyboard freeze after upgrade to 11.10?
[00:21] <yasker> I hit it all the time when I am using eclipse
[00:21] <yasker> and switch window and back can help for a while
[00:23] <SIR_Taco> yasker: Eclipse, when open for a long time, is a problem... it's a memory leak problem
[00:23] <yasker> no, I didn't open it for quite long...
[00:23] <yasker> SIR_Taco: And I didn't hit this issue before
[00:23] <yasker> before upgrade
[00:24] <yasker> any hint to figure out what's wrong?
[00:25] <SIR_Taco> what version of Eclipse?
[00:25] <yasker> 3.7.0
[00:26] <yasker> I think it's not only eclipse, I remember I also hit it with some other application. Trying to figure out which one now...
[00:27] <SIR_Taco> yasker: 3.7.1 is out... maybe it fixes your problem?
[00:27] <yasker> would try, :)
[00:27] <yasker> thx
[00:28] <yasker> :)
[00:32] <kqze_> hi please i got a problem I have accidentaly delete the start menu and I don't know how to remove this one.
[00:33] <BarkingFish> kqze: what menu do you have right now?
[00:33] <kqze_> kubuntu menu but without the button "start menu" K
[00:33] <BarkingFish> right
[00:34] <BarkingFish> can you right click the panel please, and select Panel Options from the menu that appears
[00:34] <BarkingFish> don't click it, but hover on it - next menu will appear
[00:35] <BarkingFish> in the next menu, kqze_ - select Add Widgets
[00:35] <kqze_> you say about plasmoide menu
[00:36] <BarkingFish> there should be one there marked Application Launcher Menu
[00:36] <BarkingFish> click it (once or twice) and it should appear on your panel
[00:36] <kqze_> no I didn't find it, that's strange
[00:36] <BarkingFish> do you see any widgets with the blue K logo?
[00:38] <kqze_> no I have found it
[00:38] <kqze_> sorry no there isn't
[00:38] <BarkingFish> hm. One moment then please, i will check
[00:39] <kqze_> okay
[00:42] <kqze_> I have try to download the packets kubuntu-deskop but nothing
[00:44] <Matisse> kqze, german?
[00:44] <Matisse> kqze,
[00:44] <kqze_> No I am french
[00:45] <Matisse> ok, try it in english
[00:45] <Matisse> tell me: did you find the menu where you can add widgets to your desktop?
[00:45] <kqze_> I do my best sorry
[00:45] <kqze_> no
[00:45] <Matisse> your english is great
[00:45] <Matisse> do you have a task bar?
[00:46] <kqze_> sorry ?
[00:46] <BarkingFish> kqze_: the add widgets menu is what I directed you to a short while ago :)
[00:46] <Matisse> the thing where all the running programs are listed, and the clock and stuff
[00:46] <kqze_> no I haven't it
[00:46] <BarkingFish> you said you didn't see the K widgets in there
[00:46] <kqze_> yes
[00:47] <Matisse> no clock?
[00:47] <kqze_> yes I have the clock
[00:47] <Matisse> BarkingFish, maybe he has to unlock the thingy
[00:47] <kqze_> the ball,console etc
[00:48] <BarkingFish> Matisse: if he had to unlock it, he wouldn't have deleted the widget, it wouldn't have let him :)
[00:48] <Matisse> yes, true
[00:48] <Matisse> kqze, the ball? hover over it
[00:48] <Matisse> does it look like a painter plate?
[00:49] <Matisse> that one you'll need
[00:49] <kqze_> no I speak about the aplication with a red ball
[00:49] <Matisse> :)
[00:49] <Matisse> ok
[00:49] <kqze_> a mini-game something like that
[00:50] <Matisse> tell us about the right-click menu in the left or right corner
[00:50] <kqze_> don't you think a comand can go back my  Kmenu ?
[00:50] <Matisse> is there something like "add miniprogs"
[00:50] <BarkingFish> kqze_: Vous êtes français?
[00:50] <Matisse> i dont know any commad
[00:51] <kqze_> arf oui je suis français :p
[00:51] <BarkingFish> :)
[00:51] <Matisse> Il a dit
[00:51] <BarkingFish> !fr | kqze_
[00:51] <Matisse> wait
[00:51] <Matisse> we're nearly finished :)
[00:51] <Matisse> find the green plus to add
[00:52] <Matisse> "signe plus"
[00:52] <kqze_> yes
[00:52] <Matisse> en verde
[00:52] <Matisse> found it? or 2?
[00:52] <kqze_> there is 2 thing with green plus
[00:52] <Matisse> take the one with miniprograms
[00:53] <kqze_> yes
[00:53] <Matisse> and now search for the blue K
[00:53] <Matisse> you'll find it
[00:53] <kqze_> that where I was
[00:53] <kqze_> before
[00:53] <Matisse> didnt help?
[00:54] <Matisse> damn
[00:54] <BarkingFish> Matisse: the blue K widgets are not in his list
[00:54] <kqze_> the only thing like that is Kubuntu feed
[00:54] <Matisse> choose "all programs
[00:55] <Matisse> "
[00:55] <Matisse> or "program starters"
[00:55] <Matisse> the category above the symbols
[00:55] <BarkingFish> kqze_: I think I found what you may need.
[00:56] <kqze_> Oh I have find it
[00:56] <kqze_> that was a arrow to the left
[00:57] <BarkingFish> kqze_: Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît appuyez sur ALT + F2, et d'écrire konsole,  et appuyez sur la touche entrée
[00:57] <kqze_> I have change the theme Icone
[00:57] <BarkingFish> do you have the menu?
[00:57] <Matisse> ha!
[00:58] <Matisse> touché!
[00:58] <kqze_> yes right now the pb was the logo wasn't a K but something replace by an other icone
[00:58] <kqze_> xD
[00:58] <Matisse> ;)
[00:58] <kqze_> thank you for your help
[00:58] <BarkingFish> de riens :)
[00:58] <kqze_> and your patience
[00:58] <kqze_> ^^
[00:58] <Matisse> :)
[00:58] <BarkingFish> if you need it again, come back or go to #kubuntu-fr, both will help you
[00:59] <Matisse> avec plaisir ;)
[00:59] <Matisse> BarkingFish, what would have been the other solution?
[00:59] <Matisse> is there a simple command?
[00:59] <kqze_> merci j'y manquerais pas
[01:00] <BarkingFish> Matisse: it would have been (in konsole) - sudo apt-get install --reinstall plasma-widgets-workspace
[01:00] <BarkingFish> if he'd deleted the widgets
[01:00] <Matisse> ah, ok
[01:00] <BarkingFish> that would have stripped the package out and replaced it with a fresh copy
[01:01] <BarkingFish> Matisse: I'm curious, are you the same Matisse who was part of Wikinews? :)
[01:02] <Matisse> no, just in wikipedia... with a different name :)
[01:05] <BarkingFish> Matisse: ah, ok.
[01:05] <BarkingFish> We had a Matisse with Wikinews, i thought it may have been you, but I think they were 2 t's, not one...
[01:06] <Matisse> I prefer the correct written painter :)
[01:06] <BarkingFish> :)
[01:06] <Matisse> no... actually I never really have the same nick in different projects
[01:07] <Matisse> or places
[01:07] <Matisse> the internet is to curious
[01:08] <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 message
[01:08] <Matisse> if its to easy, it doesnt stimulate :)
[01:09] <Matisse> caesar_, was the installation successful or didnt find it any packages?
[01:09] <caesar_> successful i suppose.. it downloading and installed
[01:09] <Matisse> hmm
[01:09] <Matisse> BarkingFish, your turn ;)
[01:10] <Matisse> like a chess game
[01:10] <Matisse> what was installed?
[01:10] <caesar_> plays fine in vlc obviously but wont play in amarok
[01:10] <caesar_> or in my alarm clock app
[01:11] <Matisse> fine or not in alarm clock?
[01:11] <BarkingFish> caesar_: did you do the restricted packages downloads?
[01:12] <caesar_> i downloaded whatever it asked me in amarok
[01:12] <BarkingFish> !mp3
[01:12] <caesar_> BarkingFish: no
[01:14] <BarkingFish> caesar_: 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 material
[01:14] <BarkingFish> or simply open konsole and type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:15] <caesar_> downloading now
[01:15] <caesar_> does anyone here have android?
[01:16] <Matisse> BarkingFish, but why would it already work with vlc? does it have its own libraries?
[01:16] <caesar_> vlc has it's own codec internaly
[01:17] <caesar_> it will play everything
[01:17] <BarkingFish> yep
[01:17] <Matisse> ok
[01:17] <caesar_> vlc is beast
[01:18] <caesar_> but i need mp3s to play in my alarm clock
[01:18] <caesar_> and when it's time for the alarm to go off... the app just disappears
[01:18] <BarkingFish> caesar_: follow the command I gave you above, or the instructions on the page ubottu sent you :)
[01:19] <BarkingFish> that will install all the restricted stuff, codecs etc, that we don't issue as standard on install
[01:19] <caesar_> BarkingFish: i'm at 35%
[01:19] <BarkingFish> ok :)
[01:19] <caesar_> slow ass 3g tether
[01:19] <BarkingFish> i'm on wifi, sharing a single beacon with about 40 other people :P
[01:20] <BarkingFish> but only until tomorrow... I *finally* (after 2 years) get cable :)
[01:20] <caesar_> im sure your speeds are still faster than mine
[01:20] <caesar_> and i'm the sole person connected
[01:20] <jjman6> i 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 apps
[01:23] <guest1> join /thefurststate
[01:24] <guest1> #join /thefurststate
[01:24] <BarkingFish> jjman6: you need to open a terminal up (ALT+F2) and type sudo apt-get dvgrab
[01:24] <BarkingFish> sorry
[01:24] <BarkingFish> don't do that
[01:24] <jjman6> install?
[01:24] <BarkingFish> it's sudo apt-get install dvgrab
[01:24] <jjman6> ;-)
[01:24] <BarkingFish> i'm sorry, i'm really tired tonight and I'm not allowed to go to bed for medical reasons :)
[01:25] <jjman6> its already installed
[01:25] <BarkingFish> hm
[01:25] <BarkingFish> that's odd then...
[01:25] <caesar_> medical reasons?
[01:26] <BarkingFish> caesar_: I have to have an EEG done today, which requires me to be very tired and not having slept.
[01:26] <jjman6> i tried gucview (it crashes)  but lucview works sorta, Kamoso seems to work fine
[01:26] <BarkingFish> It's to see if my being overtired makes me have Epileptic seizures :P
[01:26] <BarkingFish> you'd think they could find a better way to do it :)
[01:26] <caesar_> oh ok
[01:27] <BarkingFish> jjman6: can you open the cam in vlc?
[01:27] <jjman6> ummm i tried but was unable to figure out how
[01:27] <jjman6> BarkingFish: it also works fine in all my IM clients (kopete, aMsn, Skype, Jitsi)
[01:28] <BarkingFish> jjman6: Open VLC, click Media, Open Capture Device, and in device selection, under video, type /dev/video0 and click play
[01:29] <jjman6> BarkingFish: weird i tried exactly that yesterday and it didn't work.  but it works now in vlc
[01:29] <BarkingFish> hmmm...
[01:30] <BarkingFish> this is a tough one. If the cam works there, it should function perfectly in kdenlive
[01:30] <jjman6> i concur
[01:30] <BarkingFish> one sec
[01:31] <jjman6> i'm wondering if my partial upgrade has fubard things.  i tried upgrading to 11.10  and it broke & refuses to do the upgrade
[01:31] <BarkingFish> jjman6: right, we've had this issue before. I know there's a solution to it and I can't remember what it is :P
[01:31] <jjman6> which is my second trouble.  I can't upgrade kubuntu
[01:33] <jjman6> sadly gucview just crashes when i try to do a capture.  i was looking forward to trying it in spite of it being a gtk+ app
[01:33] <BarkingFish> jjman6: open up konsole please, and type the following 2 commands - do each one individually and let it finish
[01:33] <BarkingFish> sudo apt-get -f install
[01:33] <jjman6> i've done that a dozen times
[01:33] <BarkingFish> dpkg --configure -a
[01:33] <BarkingFish> and that one?
[01:34] <jjman6> yea i tried em both
[01:34] <BarkingFish> myxzptlk...
[01:34] <BarkingFish> one moment then :)
[01:34] <jjman6> i'll give em a try again as i've installed a bunch of stuff since
[01:35] <jjman6> i'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 issue
[01:35] <BarkingFish> jjman6: i'm asking our devs
[01:36] <jjman6> should i try the dist upgrade again?
[01:36] <jjman6> like i said i have been installing a lot of pkg's lately since hte upgrade didn't work
[01:38] <BarkingFish> sorry about that, beacon went down
[01:39] <jjman6> how can digiKam no longer be supported.  blarg
[01:44] <caesar_> BarkingFish:  technical difficulties?
[01:45] <BarkingFish> caesar_: yeah, our main wifi beacon has died, so we're running on the backup, which is slow
[01:45] <BarkingFish> i lose connection if I open a web browser to look for something
[01:45] <BarkingFish> Daskreech: do you have any ideas on jjman6's problem?
[01:48] <caesar_> package installation is stuck at 19%
[01:48] <caesar_> grrr
[01:50] <BarkingFish> jjman6: are you about?
[01:50] <jjman6> yea
[01:50] <BarkingFish> I 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 reinstall
[01:50] <jjman6> i'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 net
[01:51] <BarkingFish> do you have everything backed up?
[01:51] <BarkingFish> actually, I just remembered the repair I was given :)
[01:51] <BarkingFish> I tried the upgrade through a GUI
[01:51] <jjman6> well it never actually started the install.  it would stop just after fetching w/ an error on some pkg/dependancy
[01:52] <BarkingFish> and it failed - i did it through a TTY and it went through...
[01:53] <BarkingFish> if 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] <BarkingFish> Are you doing your upgrade through something like apper?
[01:54] <jjman6> the 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 ~30mins
[01:54] <jjman6> 26%
[01:54] <BarkingFish> yeah, cancel it
[01:55] <BarkingFish> dist-upgrade through kpackagekit is broken
[01:55] <BarkingFish> I know this, because that's how my upgrade went wrong
[01:55] <jjman6> ah ok
[01:56] <caesar_> BarkingFish: the restricted drivers installation froze at 19%.. now when i try to reinstall it it says already installed. but mp3s still wont play
[01:56] <jjman6> errr i forgot how do i remove the lock on apt.
[01:56] <BarkingFish> jjman6: close kpackagekit
[01:56] <jjman6> errr i did its still locked
[01:57] <BarkingFish> then open konsole, and type ps aux | grep dpkg
[01:57] <BarkingFish> find the dpkg PID's and kill them with  kill -9 <pid>
[01:58] <BarkingFish> you will need to repair the dpkg configuration after you do this - so dpkg --configure -a  before you do the instructions I listed above
[01:59] <jjman6> still not flying
[01:59] <BarkingFish> dang.
[01:59] <BarkingFish> !lock
[01:59] <jjman6> when i try to kill the dpkg it says no such process
[02:00] <BarkingFish> are the processes marked as yours or root?
[02:00] <jjman6> mine
[02:00] <jjman6> it only lists 1
[02:00] <BarkingFish> then you shouldn't have dpkg open...
[02:01] <jjman6> no argument here ;-)  but its still locked
[02:03] <jjman6> isn't there  a file i can delete to remove the lock.  i forget where & what it is
[02:04] <BarkingFish> that would be /var/lib/dpkg/lock iirc
[02:05] <jjman6> errr fail.  still says its locked.  brb
[02:05] <BarkingFish> reboot
[02:05] <BarkingFish> that will clear the lock
[02:08] <BarkingFish> hi again
[02:08] <BarkingFish> do you have scrollback?
[02:09] <jjman6> hi.  no i don't think its setup
[02:09] <BarkingFish> right, i'll repaste the instructions for you
[02:09] <jjman6> its going now.   But i'm pretty sure i DID try this b4
[02:09] <jjman6> from console
[02:10] <BarkingFish> are you doing it from the TTY as I said?
[02:10] <jjman6> yep.
[02:11] <BarkingFish> right, as part of that, you need to close kdm down.
[02:11] <BarkingFish> i found it wouldn't work unless kde was stopped
[02:11] <jjman6> oh.  i didn't catch that part
[02:11] <BarkingFish> so ctrl alt f2, login again, and type sudo service kdm stop
[02:12] <BarkingFish> apologies, but you'll lose us, and when you come back, i may not be here, someone will help you though :)
[02:12] <BarkingFish> i need to rest, since i'm not going to bed tonight.
[02:12] <jjman6> k
[02:12] <jjman6> thx for the help
[02:12] <BarkingFish> you're welcome
[02:12] <BarkingFish> i'll see you tomorrow night to find out how you got on
[02:13] <BarkingFish> *tonight
[02:13] <BarkingFish> sorry
[02:13] <jjman6> roger.  i'll finish it a bit later.
[02:13] <BarkingFish> right guys, that's pretty much my lot for tonight, i need to go veg out for a bit, since i can't sleep
[02:14] <BarkingFish> anyone who needs help, there are still people about, someone will get to you in due time :)
[02:14] <BarkingFish> good night all, sleep well :)
[02:51] <Daskreech> I Guess #kdenlive was tried already ?
[02:52] <Daskreech> jjman6: yuck who upgrades through kpackagekit?
[02:53] <jjman6> yea no one there
[02:53] <Daskreech> ok
[02:53] <Daskreech> so where are we now?
[02:53] <jjman6> Daskreech: thats what its for,
[02:53] <jjman6> errr well the upgrade just errored out on me now.
[02:53] <jjman6> E: Internal Error, Could not early remove libgl1-mesa-glx
[02:54] <jjman6> but i didn't shut down kdm & run it yet like Barkingfish suggested
[02:54] <Daskreech> jjman6: ok do youhave irssi?
[02:56] <jjman6> ummm whats that
[02:56] <jjman6> lol
[03:01] <jjman6> brb i'll be back in a bit.  imma try running it w/ kdm shut down
[03:05] <Daskreech> back ?
[03:05] <jjman6> Daskreech: yea it still fails same error
[03:05] <Daskreech> sudo apt-get remove libgl1-mesa-glx
[03:07] <jjman6> its removing a whole bunch of other stuff & upgrading stuff
[03:10] <jjman6> ok, now what should i run it again
[03:11] <jjman6> Daskreech:  ok now its erroring on a new pkg  Internal Error, Could not early remove liblcms1
[03:13] <jjman6> it won't let me remove that pkg,  due to unmet dependancies/broken packages
[03:15] <Daskreech> what's the dependent packages?
[03:15] <jjman6> several,  java related pkg's
[03:15] <Daskreech> recognize any of them?
[03:16] <jjman6> openjdk stuff i reckon
[03:16] <jjman6> they all are related to java runtime
[03:16] <Daskreech> Hmm
[03:16] <Daskreech> RIght
[03:17] <Daskreech> If it helps any I  normally dump X when I'm upgrading and having issues. Makes everything go faster
[03:18] <jjman6> what do u mean by dump.
[03:18] <jjman6> this 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 easily
[03:30] <Daskreech> jjman6: I'd install irssi and then sudo apt-get remove X && sudo apt-get autoremove
[03:30] <Daskreech> then dist-upgrade
[03:31] <jjman6> ok i install irssi already
[03:31] <Daskreech> It takes waaaay shorter than waiting for all the GUI stuff to update
[03:31] <Daskreech> It's not quite a reinstall but it is a refresh
[03:32] <jjman6> X is not a pkg
[03:33] <jjman6> u mean kdm?
[03:41] <Daskreech> jjman6: xorg is a package
[03:42] <Daskreech> jjman6: xserver-xorg
[03:46] <jjman6> Daskreech:  still getting same error stuck on liblcms1
[03:46] <Daskreech> jjman6: can you remove the dependent files?
[03:48] <jjman6> Daskreech: ok that let it upgrade another 55pkgs
[03:49] <Daskreech> jjman6: :)
[03:52] <jjman6> Daskreech: 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 upgraded
[03:53] <Daskreech> jjman6: wait
[03:53] <jjman6> yes?
[03:53] <Daskreech> jjman6: can you jump to terminal 2 and type irssi -c irc.freenode.net ?
[03:53] <Daskreech> then type /join #kubuntu
[03:53] <jjman6> oh that console irc?
[03:54] <Daskreech> jjman6: Yes then we can work you through whatever
[03:54] <jjman6> ok on it
[03:56] <jjman66> Daskreech: ok i'm here
[03:56] <Daskreech> jjman66: irrsi
[03:57] <jjman66> yep
[03:57] <Daskreech> irssi
[03:57] <Daskreech> Graet
[03:57] <Daskreech> ok continue
[03:57] <jjman66> roger
[03:58] <jjman66> ok well now i can't see the stuff i had running in Konsole
[03:58] <Daskreech> jjman66: Oh dear
[03:58] <Daskreech> you were doing it in konsole ?
[03:58] <jjman66> yea
[03:58] <Daskreech> that's not going to work well :-D
[03:58] <Daskreech> jjman66: alt+ctrl+F7 and stop it perhaps ?
[03:59] <jjman66> it was in F8 cause i had restarted kdm
[03:59] <jjman66> somehow
[04:01] <jjman66> well i don't see dpkg running in process's  so it may be done
[04:03] <jjman66> Daskreech: should i run distup again
[04:05] <Daskreech> jjman66: do that in a terminal
[04:05] <jjman66> ok i got it running again from where it left off.
[04:06] <jjman66> i had to remove the pkg again where it was doing all its magic from
[04:06] <Daskreech> alright
[04:08] <jjman66> i 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 removed
[04:08] <Daskreech> jjman66: maybe not
[04:09] <jjman66> If 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 first
[04:11] <jjman66> this is why i dread doing a dist-upgrade cause i've had problems w/ every single one since 8.04 on various systems
[04:24] <Matisse> is it possible to configure alsa that it can play multiple sound sources at the same time (f.e. vlc, system sounds, flashplugin)?
[04:25] <Daskreech> jjman66: Yeah I tend to do things like back up ~/.kde and grab my dpkg --get-selections before I upgrade
[04:27] <jjman66> yea on my main comp.  i have a script i wrote to automatically grab my pkg's every day  cause i'm always installing shit
[04:30] <jjman66> is there a log of apt-get/dpkg actions in case i need to manually recover all the pkgs that were removed?
[04:31] <Daskreech> jjman66: for the most part reinstalling kubuntu-desktop will get you back functionality
[04:31] <Daskreech> If you are missing anything else then you'll notice and reinstall
[04:31] <Daskreech> if you don't notice it being missing probably wasn't needed
[04:31] <Daskreech> Unless you have a lot of automated scripts
[04:32] <jjman66> well 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 it
[04:32] <jjman66> cause i'm not always online w/ my laptop
[04:34] <jjman66> of 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 from
[04:36] <jjman66> it seems to be chugging away w/ the full upgrade at any rate it should be done any time now.
[04:40] <jjman66> Matisse: 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 possible
[04:41] <jjman66> ok its done.  the moment of truth i reckon time for a reboot.
[04:45] <Daskreech> Yes there is
[04:48] <jjman66> Daskreech: ok i'm back and its not booting up kdm the upgrade finished.  its just hanging on tthe pre-login screen
[04:48] <Daskreech> jjman66: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:04] <jjman6_> Daskreech: woot i'm back.  that worked
[05:04] <Daskreech> jjman6_: :) congrats
[05:04] <jjman6_> it fixed my wireless even.  but the pkgs it removed are indeed not reinstalled.  8-(
[05:05] <jjman6_> are there logs i can get at to see what was removed
[05:06] <Daskreech> yes the dpkg log
[05:06] <Daskreech> in /var/log
[05:45] <excognac> any ideas how to make subscript of subscript in libre office?
[05:46] <excognac> e.g. P sc. O sc sc 2
[05:46] <excognac> ctrl v doesn't work7
[06:07] <Daskreech> excognac: can't you set it as a font property?
[06:07] <Daskreech> superscript and subscript?
[06:19] <jjman6_> Daskreech: thx for the help i got most everything reinstalled thx to the logs.  i have a few broken depencies that it won't let me fix or install but considering all the extra work i had to do its fairly minor
[06:19] <jjman6_> kdenlive is still not working in fact its even more broken then b4 as it won't even run but i'm working on that
[06:24] <ksinkar> Hello 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!?!
[06:49] <rajumoh> hey what's that widget/live wall where there is a small animated figure moving along on the desktop in KDE ?
[06:52] <jjman6_> kdenlive won't run after upgrade. get a Fatal error saying MLT SDL module missing only mlt related packages i can find are installed
[07:09] <jjman6> yahoo 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 fine

[09:49] <boehmer> hello
[09:50] <boehmer> i accidently removed the list of windows in my panel and cant restore it because i do not find the right widget
[09:50] <boehmer> i am using kubuntu LTS (10.04?)
[09:50] <boehmer> i tried "window list" but it opens a menu
[09:51] <boehmer> what i removed is the indefinitely wide area where a button for each window is shown
[09:53] <jussi> boehmer: I think you are after "Task Manager"
[09:54] <boehmer> jussi: thx
[09:54] <jussi> boehmer: welcome
[09:56] <boehmer> i managed to restore the widgets
[09:57] <boehmer> i don't know why but since i switched from fedora to kubuntu yesterday the left half of my panel is with black background while the right is default grey
[09:57] <boehmer> any new panels are completely grey
[09:57] <boehmer> any ideas how to fix that?

[14:16] <sumiran> Hello
[14:16] <sumiran> anybody can help, i have a problem with my network manager i guess
[14:16] <BluesKaj> sumiran, wifi ?
[14:17] <sumiran> no wired connection, acutally
[14:17] <BluesKaj> sumiran, ok , what's the problem ?
[14:17] <sumiran> wired connectionw was working normally, when i suspended and resumed wifi works but wired doesn't, oneiric 11.10
[14:17] <anathema_> hi guys
[14:18] <anathema_> i have a repository problem after trying to install gpsprune and google earth (with no luck)
[14:18] <senyahel> hello can anyone  help me I can't access my wireless network
[14:18] <BluesKaj> sumiran, well, both can't work at the same time , afaik
[14:19] <BluesKaj> anathema_, googe earth on which OS version ?
[14:20] <sumiran> actually, if i turn off wireless, the wired connection still doesn't work though
[14:21] <senyahel> I see the wireless networks but it will not take the passwords
[14:21] <BluesKaj> sumiran, probly because the router is asigned I different IPs to the wireless and ethernet
[14:22] <BluesKaj> eer has assigned
[14:22] <BluesKaj> senyahel, which wifi chip ?
[14:23] <senyahel> BluesKaj, how can I tell which chip
[14:23] <sumiran> I am newbie to ubuntu but when i resumed, shouldn't it connect to wired connection automatically
[14:24] <senyahel> I think it has something to do with the KDE wallet is that possible
[14:27] <BluesKaj> senyahel, lshw , or lspci , look for mobile if you're on a laptop
[14:28] <anathema_> BluesKaj, kubuntu 11.10
[14:28] <BluesKaj> sumiran, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[14:30] <sumiran> Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
[14:30] <anathema_> i can give you the outpout
[14:30] <anathema_> of synaptic
[14:30] <anathema_> Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
[14:30] <anathema_> WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

[14:30] <anathema_> Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
[14:30] <anathema_> when I type Y
[14:30] <sumiran> and then reconfiguring network interfaces but never gets connected to the wired one, wireless works fine
[14:31] <BluesKaj> anathema_, the repos only have the package installer , you have to download google earth from it's site to install ...good luckbecause I can't get google earth to launch even tho it it seems to install ok. The lsb-core soluion on all the tutorials didn't work for me .
[14:31] <anathema_> Something wicked happened resolving 'gr.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[14:31] <anathema_> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[14:31] <senyahel> BluesKaj, Thanks I had to sign into the KDE wallet and I was able to get in don't know why
[14:31] <anathema_> I have downloaded the .deb file
[14:31] <senyahel> I'm still leaning this thing
[14:31] <anathema_> but after that needed some dependencies
[14:31] <anathema_> I have this error above and the install -f doens't work
[14:32] <anathema_> How to know which repository failed
[14:32] <anathema_> And now I can't use synaptic!!!
[14:32] <anathema_> It can't update/install or something
[14:33] <szal> do Greek austerity measures already influence OSS mirrors? ;)
[14:33] <BluesKaj> anathema_, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[14:33] <anathema_> yeah
[14:33] <anathema_> Do you need to pastebin the output
[14:34] <anathema_> http://pastebin.com/WGNyzAyr
[14:34] <anathema_> @ BluesKaj
[14:35] <anathema_> I want to get rid off these messages
[14:35] <anathema_> and packages
[14:37] <BluesKaj> anathema_, sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre , make sure you say yes to the agreement dialog .
[14:37] <anathema_> I get error
[14:37] <anathema_> openjdk-6-jre is already the newest version.
[14:37] <anathema_> openjdk-6-jre set to manually installed.
[14:37] <anathema_> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[14:37] <anathema_> blah blach
[14:37] <anathema_> with -f install no luck! I have tried
[14:38] <anathema_> BluesKaj, output: http://pastebin.com/s0k7jpRL
[14:42] <BluesKaj> anathema_, install the apps that are underlined in the paste that you posted
[14:42] <BluesKaj> especially java-common
[14:43] <anathema_> I can't install anything :S
[14:43] <anathema_> I have the same error as the above
[14:43] <anathema_> Also it says: but it is not going to be installed
[14:43] <anathema_> this is an epic fail!
[14:43] <anathema_> I want to roll back to the normal
[14:44] <BluesKaj> anathema_, sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-6-jre
[14:44] <anathema_> BluesKaj, sorry, the same error again
[14:44] <BluesKaj> it's not epic ...epic would be the whole OS would fail
[14:44] <anathema_> yah :P
[14:45] <anathema_> I have not rebooted. If I reboot maybe I have an epic fail
[14:45] <anathema_> lol
[14:45] <anathema_> same error everywhere /intsall/reinstall purge/remove!!
[14:45] <BluesKaj> some ppl don't know the meaning of words they use because they see others use them improperly ...getting tired of that
[14:45] <anathema_> BluesKaj, is there any way to reset the situation
[14:46] <BluesKaj> remove openjdk-6-jre
[14:46] <anathema_> I have tried remove --purge
[14:46] <anathema_> with the same error as install
[14:46] <BluesKaj> us a differnt java
[14:46] <anathema_> And If  I try to install something else
[14:47] <anathema_> also fails
[14:47] <anathema_> I can't install anything
[14:48] <BluesKaj> not remove --purge, just purge
[14:48] <anathema_> same error
[14:48] <anathema_> it's a general error
[14:48] <anathema_> and I can't do anything
[14:49] <anathema_> when Im trying apt-get update it says something wicked happened :o
[14:49] <anathema_> I think that I must reset my repositories to default
[14:49] <anathema_> but i cant find the default greekservers
[14:50] <BluesKaj> anathema_, do you have a ppa that links to a java repos ?
[14:50] <BluesKaj> use the main server
[14:50] <anathema_> no
[14:50] <anathema_> I dont have
[14:50] <anathema_> Is there any link to find the default repos?
[14:51] <BluesKaj> look in your package manager
[14:51] <anathema_> I thought that in the gui package manager there was an option to reset them
[14:51] <anathema_> yeah Im trying this
[14:52] <anathema_> in muon package manager
[14:52] <BluesKaj> !enter | anathema_
[14:52] <anathema_> Ok sorry!
[14:52] <senyahel> \list
[14:54] <anathema_> It was a repository server prob I think
[14:55] <anathema_> Thanks for the help.I changed repos server and all are good now
[15:23] <jimmy51__> my company has a critical accounting/inventory app they run on a terminal server. they distribute a .rdp file that launches a "remote app" when launched on a windows client.  is anyone familiar with those?
[15:23] <jimmy51__> it doesn't log you in to a whole interactive desktop session... just appears to open a terminal session for the one app.
[15:24] <jimmy51__> i'd like to match this on my kubuntu workstation.  does anyone know how to do that?
[15:54] <vchris> could anyone tell me the terminal code to upgrade my system?
[16:04] <DarthFrog> vchris: do-release-upgrade -p

[18:07] <searchfgold6789> Hi, does anyone know how to  convert several .png's to jpegs? I have imagemagick but don't know what to do.
[18:11] <loerts> hi searchforgold6789 - take a look at this. http://lifehacker.com/342308/batch-convert-images-with-image-magick

[18:20] <loerts> welcome :)
[19:17] <nbnds> is there someone who is happy with kubuntu for more than 6 month continuous using? no bugs, no crashes?
[19:21] <genii-around> nbnds: I've been using Kubuntu since the early days and been reasonably happy. My 10.04 version has been chugging along happily almost two years now.
[19:22] <nbnds> genii-around, do you use all the features, like kde-pim, office, widgets? because i know the happiness depends on user profile
[19:23]  * maco cannot attest a lack of bugs, as rarely uses a *stable* version of kubuntu
[19:23] <maco> (developer, i run alphas)
[19:26] <genii-around> nbnds: I don't use much of the graphical eye-candy stuff. I mainly use web browsing, libreoffice, konsole, quassel, scan or print the occasional thing.
[19:28] <nbnds> genii-around, what is your scanner model?
[19:28] <ct529> hi everybody .... kdmgreet is taking up 12s of boot time, how can I reduce it, please?
[19:30] <genii-around> nbnds: Epson Perfection 1200S
[19:31] <genii-around> nbnds: The scanner is actually on another box which just runs ubuntu server and SANE shares it to the network
[19:58] <BarkingFish> Guys, 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] <BarkingFish> The 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.
[19:59] <BarkingFish> The transfer in total is 31.9GiB
[19:59] <szal> how do you know it's stuck?
[20:00] <BarkingFish> szal: the note in the panel, where it normally says Copying (x% of xGiB) - has changed simply to Copying:
[20:00] <BarkingFish> the total has vanished, and the progress bar in the copy window hasn't moved for about 15 minutes
[20:01] <BarkingFish> i 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 up
[20:01] <BarkingFish> or corrupt the recordings I'm moving
[20:03] <jalel> Hello every body
[20:03] <jalel> i need help plz
[20:03] <BluesKaj> BarkingFish, arte the recordings encrypting or is it a straight transfer?
[20:03] <jalel> who can help me
[20:03] <genii-around> !details | jalel
[20:03] <jalel> i have a problem with awk
[20:03] <BarkingFish> BluesKaj: the recording are unencrypted
[20:03] <jalel> i have to generate a file and in this file i do the addition for many number
[20:04] <jalel> in finish i have the sum is : 6.32848e+09
[20:04] <BarkingFish> the file type is MPEG2 transport stream, since they have encoded DVB subtitles and Audio description on
[20:04] <jalel> i don't understand the means of this e+
[20:04] <Thinkerer68> jalel: exponent
[20:05] <kakoytou> hello
[20:05] <genii-around> jalel: http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/scinot.html
[20:05] <jalel> Thinkerer68:  can u give more details for this problem
[20:05] <kakoytou> i'm new on linux
[20:05] <kakoytou> but i want to learn
[20:05] <Thinkerer68> jalel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_notation
[20:05] <kakoytou> and could someone tell me
[20:05] <jalel> yeah  6.32848e+09 that i should add a nine zero to delete the e
[20:06] <kakoytou> how to configure code::blocks
[20:06] <jalel> that's it
[20:06] <kakoytou> to compiler
[20:06] <Thinkerer68> jalel: You should be able to use some format specifier in printf to display the number without exponential notation
[20:06] <BarkingFish> right, 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] <Thinkerer68> jalel: either that or work with smaller numbers
[20:07] <jalel> Thinkerer68:  how can i use a number without the e
[20:07] <BarkingFish> Could it be that the file it was trying to move is corrupted?
[20:07] <jalel> can i specifu samething
[20:07] <BarkingFish> or would it have warned me?
[20:08] <Thinkerer68> jalel: I don't know offhand. Are you using Gawk or Mawk?
[20:08] <jalel> no the simple awk
[20:08] <jalel> i think no differnence between
[20:08] <jalel> gawk and awk
[20:08] <Thinkerer68> jalel: On Kubuntu, you either have Gawk or Mawk. There are important distinctions to be made.
[20:08] <BluesKaj> BarkingFish, frequently with large files I've noticed the transfer notice stall, but it eventually catches up ..it's just not very good at calcs
[20:09] <kakoytou> i want when i click on "build and run" to open konsole and view result of my program there
[20:09] <jalel> Thinkerer68: nice but the command that i use is awk -f
[20:09] <kakoytou> please someone tell me how to do this
[20:10] <jalel> kakoytou:  search somthing in config to find the console
[20:10] <BarkingFish> BluesKaj: I hope it does catch up, I need to get it back on my PVR within 45 minutes to start recording again :)
[20:10] <kakoytou> jalel: where?
[20:10] <jalel> in config in menu
[20:12] <kakoytou> in codeblocks menu?
[20:12] <jalel> hey Thinkerer68 are u here
[20:12] <jalel> yeah
[20:12] <genii-around> BarkingFish: I suspect your usb went into power-saving and can't wake up from it
[20:13] <BluesKaj> BarkingFish, TiVo ?
[20:13] <Thinkerer68> jalel: post output of command: "awk -W version"
[20:14] <szal> BarkingFish: normally when progress indicators etc. disappear in a Copy dialog, it's due to a large number of small files being copied
[20:14] <BarkingFish> BluesKaj: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigo-USB-Digital-Freeview-Recorder/dp/B002P8R74M
[20:14] <szal> BarkingFish: other than that..  better copy, then delete the source files on success
[20:14] <BarkingFish> szal: the files are around 550MiB each
[20:14] <kakoytou> i just google it
[20:15] <kakoytou> and only think i do is to paste this sudo apt-get install g++ on konsole
[20:15] <BarkingFish> I 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 month
[20:15] <kakoytou> i didn't have g++ compiler i think
[20:15] <szal> BarkingFish: anything in syslog or dmesg?
[20:15] <jalel> Thinkerer68: it's mawk
[20:16] <jalel> use gcc kakoytou
[20:16] <kakoytou> how
[20:16] <jalel> to do what kakoytou c or c++
[20:16] <Thinkerer68> jalel: Does the output from the command say "mawk" or "gawk"?
[20:16] <BarkingFish> szal: yes there is, and it doesn't look good.
[20:16] <kakoytou> c++
[20:17] <jalel> no argument -version but when i do man awk he print maw
[20:17] <jalel> mawk
[20:17] <jalel> u should install g++ kakoytou
[20:18] <kakoytou> whit this i think that i already install g++    sudo apt-get install g++
[20:18] <jalel> see here kakoytou http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/compilation
[20:18] <BarkingFish> szal - and others - usb 4-1: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd mtp-probe rqt 128 rq 6 len 1024 ret -110
[20:18] <kakoytou> this is on french
[20:19] <Thinkerer68> jalel: Looks like you have Mawk then.
[20:19] <jalel> yeah
[20:19] <BarkingFish> szal: ^^ that was in my dmesg
[20:21] <Thinkerer68> jalel: Which version of Kubuntu?
[20:22] <Thinkerer68> jalel: You can find your version of Kubuntu with command "lsb_release -dr"
[20:22] <wonderland64bits> i want to make a version of kubuntu
[20:23] <jalel> Thinkerer68:  i use ubuntu 11.10
[20:23] <wonderland64bits> i don't know if it's better to use remastersys, or to use the kernel config
[20:24] <Thinkerer68> jalel: Here is the Mawk documentation for Kubuntu 11.10: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man1/mawk.1.html
[20:24] <genii-around> BarkingFish: Did you start up Rhythmbox by any chance, while the copying was going on?
[20:24] <Thinkerer68> jalel: I'm looking into format specifiers. I don't know exactly what to look for yet thouhg.
[20:25] <BarkingFish> no
[20:25] <jalel> i have to sum many numbers coded in 13 format XXXXXXXXXXXXX and i would like to get in finish this somme in this same format
[20:36] <Thinkerer68> great, so he quits before i can hunt down the answer  :(
[20:37] <Thinkerer68> does anyone know what "13 format" means?
[20:43] <genii-around> Thinkerer68: Probably 13 digits of precision
[20:44] <Thinkerer68> genii-around: that's what i was guessing
[20:44] <Thinkerer68> dunno if jalel will return or not, but i will find an answer for my own edification  ;)
[20:45] <genii-around> Could always refer him to #awk
[20:46] <Thinkerer68> could have, sure. i just like awk and wanted to try anyway
[20:46]  * Thinkerer68 = a little sad
[20:47] <Thinkerer68> I think the answer is containded in "man 3 printf"
[20:48] <Thinkerer68> *contained
[20:49] <genii-around> Probably zero-padding
[21:25] <username> *to anyone hi i'm newbie
[21:27] <username> simone: hi i'm just started do you get me?
[21:28] <Thinkerer68> genii-around: I got "awk 'BEGIN {printf "%013.f\n", 6328480000}'". Look like what he wanted?
[21:28] <username> simone: no worries just poking as i'm newbie
[21:30] <username> switching to help window. I'm away from this tab.
[21:31] <Resistance> ban the heathen for telling us irrelevant information!
[21:31] <Resistance> :P
[21:31]  * Resistance is annoyedish ;P

[21:34] <Pawel_762> hi, I ran Kontact and setup my email. Everytime I restart my computer kwallet wants my password from some reason
[21:35] <Pawel_762> it's related to kmail
[21:35] <Pawel_762> I want to disable it
[21:41] <fredix> hi
[21:41] <fredix> is it possible to use a muc room with kopette ?
[21:57] <hansg01> hardware temp
[22:08] <hansg01> how to change hardware temp from F to C
[22:08] <hansg01> ?
[22:09] <lnostdal_> subtract 32, then divide by 1.8
[22:24] <13WAAUBN3> Hi, There's something very wrong with the speed of my machine, And I mean so wrong that It becomes physically painful. This seems to happen when I have been log for a long time
[22:24] <13WAAUBN3> menues are extremely slugish
[22:24] <13WAAUBN3> it feels like the whole graphic system is coming to a halt
[22:25] <nadim> the cpu speed is normal, If I compile stuff, it goes as fast
[22:25] <nadim> so it's just the graphical part
[22:25] <nadim> any pointer, something I could check
[22:30] <nadim> going from a menu entry to another, in gimp, takes a second or two. opening a tool box, close to five seconds
[22:40] <nbnds_> is there any reliable "standard" backup solution for kubuntu ?
[22:41] <Resistance> define "standard backup solution"
[22:41] <Resistance> because everyone probably has a different method
[22:41] <nbnds_> something wich is known to work, and easy to use
[22:43] <nbnds_> is there something like automatic backup system similar to time machine on mac os?
[22:58] <TheLastProject> nbnds_: "Back in Time is the closest backup solution on the Linux desktop to Apple's renowned Time Machine." is what my October 2011 edition of Linux Format says :P
[22:59] <TheLastProject> nbnds_: It should have a KDE client but if you want something truly KDE you could also try KBackup. Unfortunately I haven't tried any of those, but seeing as they are talked about in this Linux magazine I believe we can trust them to work at least decently =/
[23:00] <nbnds_> Thank you for the hint, TheLastProject
[23:09] <thislinuxis4u> hi 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?
[23:10] <thislinuxis4u> it 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.
[23:12] <thislinuxis4u> so has kubuntu just given up on this?
[23:21] <Riddell> thislinuxis4u: hmm, that's a tricky one to answer since getting it working is the responsibility of many parts of the system
[23:21] <Riddell> so it might be a problem with linux, udev, pulseaudio, phonon or phonon KDE integraiton
[23:21] <Riddell> or bluedevil
[23:22] <Riddell> probably afiestas on #kde-devel would be a good guy to ask
[23:24] <thislinuxis4u> thanks
[23:26] <thislinuxis4u> well 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.
[23:27] <thislinuxis4u> and 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.
