rectecHello. I keep getting disconnected from my wifi network whenever I'm downloading something. When I get disconnected, the network plasmoid says it's configuring the network, but this will go on forever. So I have to disable networking and wireless and re-enable them to reconnect. Any suggestions?01:17
rectecDid you guys get that?01:20
LINKSWORD2Hey guys, can anyone tell me the size of the ISO for Kubuntu 11.10?01:33
LINKSWORD2I need to know if it'll fit on a 650MB CD.01:33
rectecLINKSWORD2: On my Kubuntu DVD it's using 697.3 MiB01:36
LINKSWORD2Crap...01:36
LINKSWORD2 Then I need a DVD/RW01:36
rectecLINKSWORD2: yeah that's exactly.... 731.1720448MB : (01:38
rectecLINKSWORD2: Well we're all gonna have to switch to DVD once 12.04 comes out01:39
LINKSWORD2 I'm screwed.01:39
LINKSWORD2 Once 12 comes out, you can upgrade through the repository.01:39
rectecLINKSWORD2: You don't have a DVD burner?01:39
rectecLINKSWORD2: Yeah it's fine. I've been burning Kubuntu to DVDs for a while now.01:40
LINKSWORD2Yes and no...01:40
LINKSWORD2I've been running Linux as an experiment.01:40
rectecYeah?01:40
LINKSWORD2My other computers still run Windows.01:41
LINKSWORD2 I've got a DVD burner on my laptop, but no DVD's.01:41
LINKSWORD2 Just a 650MB CD-RW01:42
rectecWell those are pretty cheap these days. I bought a 50 pack of DVD-RWs for a few bucks01:42
rectecYears ago01:42
LINKSWORD2 How much? lol01:42
rectecI still have them : P01:42
rectecHere I'll do some window shopping01:42
LINKSWORD2Perhaps you should send them to me. :P01:43
rectecHa01:44
LINKSWORD2Are you running 11.10?01:44
rectec25-packs for around 14 bucks at wal-mart01:44
rectecyeah01:44
LINKSWORD2 Could you image-bin a screenshot of your basic setup?01:44
rectecWhat's that?01:45
LINKSWORD2 I'm having display issues, and I need a comparison.01:45
rectecWhat do you want me to screenshot? Nvidia settings? Display settings?01:47
LINKSWORD2 Basic desktop.01:47
rectecK01:48
rectechttp://imagebin.org/18687301:49
LINKSWORD2 Wow, that's cool. But I don't see your top window border?01:49
rectecPanel you mean?01:50
LINKSWORD2 Oh. Duh. Uh... Open something like Firefox or whatever.01:50
rectecOh01:50
LINKSWORD2 My problem is that the top window bar on windows don't display.01:51
rectechttp://imagebin.org/18687401:52
LINKSWORD2Ugh. Mine's not displaying properly.01:53
rectecWindow decoration?01:53
LINKSWORD2Maybe.01:54
rectecCheck your settings. Type in "deco" in Kickoff01:54
LINKSWORD2What's the default theme called?01:55
rectecOxygen01:56
LINKSWORD2Hang on. BRB01:57
rectecYeah me too01:57
LINKSWORD2Still the same.01:57
LINKSWORD2 Still the same.01:57
rectecWhat'd you try?01:58
LINKSWORD2Changing the window decoration mode.01:59
LINKSWORD2Back to Oxygen.01:59
rectecHave you tried a different theme?02:00
LINKSWORD2 Yep02:00
rectecCan you upload a pic of your window?02:00
LINKSWORD2 Yeah. Hang on.02:00
LINKSWORD2http://imagebin.org/18687502:02
rectechmm02:03
rectecwhen did this start happening?02:04
LINKSWORD2 As soon as I upgraded to 11.1002:04
LINKSWORD211.04 was fine, but 11.10 did this....02:04
rectectry pressing alt+f2 then type kquitapp plasma-desktop02:05
rectecthen once that's done press alt+f2 again and just type plasma-desktop02:05
LINKSWORD2Doesn't appear to affect anything.02:06
LINKSWORD2Still looks the same when I opened Rekong.02:07
rectecUgh I'm probably gonna have to reinstall kubuntu anyway. More and more problems are stacking up02:08
rectecDo you have libkdecorations4 installed?02:08
LINKSWORD2Uh.... What's that? lol02:08
rectecit's needed for window borders02:08
LINKSWORD2How would I find it?02:09
rectecopen a terminal and enter 'sudo apt-get install libkdecorations4'02:09
rectecwithout quotes02:09
rectecit should come installed by default02:09
LINKSWORD2It's already on.02:10
LINKSWORD2 So... Now what?02:11
rectecmaybe it's the widget theme. Yours looks different. Try typing "style" into kickoff02:11
rectecWhat one do you have selected?02:12
LINKSWORD2It's Oxygen.02:12
LINKSWORD2 I had a window-appearance called Wonton Soup enabled.02:14
LINKSWORD2 But disabling it doesn't affect the top bars on windows.02:14
rectecOk try this02:15
rectecMake sure you have this window focused. Press alt+f302:16
rectecDoes it open up a menu?02:16
LINKSWORD2 Yep.02:16
rectecGo to Advanced. Is "No border" checked>02:16
rectec?02:16
LINKSWORD2OK. Checked.02:17
rectecNeeds to be unchecked02:17
LINKSWORD2It was unchecked in the first place. lol02:17
rectecDidn't help, though..?02:18
LINKSWORD2And nothing has changed.02:18
LINKSWORD2Nope. No help there.02:18
rectecHeh. This is why I always do a fresh upgrade. Let me see what I can come up with02:18
rectecEvery window has this problem, right?02:19
LINKSWORD2Yes.02:19
rectecalt+f2 'kwin --replace'?02:22
LINKSWORD2 Refreshed, but then it goes back to the same.02:22
rectecDo you have a package manager?02:23
LINKSWORD2 Yes.02:24
LINKSWORD2Muon.02:24
rectecStart it, search for kwin and reinstall kde-window-manager?02:24
LINKSWORD2Still the same.02:27
rectecI wish I could help you more. The only suggestion I have left is simply reinstalling kubuntu02:28
LINKSWORD2 I was going to reinstall version 11.10 by disk, but it seems my CD-RW is too small.02:29
rectecDon't have a flash drive?02:29
rectecWell I gotta go02:31
rectecGood luck02:31

Don_jrIs is plausible and/or efficient to have Kubuntu 11.10 installed and remove KDE completely in exchange for gnome? or would it just be easier/faster to install ubuntu outright?17:55
DarthFrogInstall Ubuntu if you want Ubuntu.17:57
Peace-Don_jr: install ubuntu 20 minutes , remove kde && install gnome ==> much more than 20 minutes17:58
DarthFrogIf you already have Kubuntu installed, you need only install the ubuntu-desktop package to get GNOME.17:58
DarthFrogYou can switch between KDE and Unity as you wish, when logging in.17:59
Peace-but unity sucks :D18:00
DarthFrogThat's a mantter of opinion.  Correct opinion, of course, but bopinion nontheless. :-)18:00
Don_jrI don't want teh bloat of the extra KDE stuff installed though, I dual boot the system with windows for gaming and don't want the extra space, I'll just reinstall ubunto and remove kubuntu outright, start with a fresh system, thank you very much for the input.18:01

kio_httpThe_Jag: Horriontal scrolling for touchpad is possible18:54
The_Jagkio_http: how to enable it (reversed)?18:54
The_JagI already scroll the "usual" way horizontally: I just want to invert the movement18:55
kio_httpThe_Jag: What do you mean reversed18:55
kio_httpThe_Jag: You want to scroll vertically and yet move horrizontally?18:55
The_Jaglike MAC OSX Lion, like touchscreen behaviour18:56
The_Jagie: moving the fingers to the left make the document "flow" to the left (which is the opposite of the usual way)18:56
The_Jagfor vertical scrolling there's an option "reverse scrolling" in the mouse page in the settings. But I found nothing for horizontal18:57
kio_httpThe_Jag: Not sure about that but you can explorer touchpad settings by searching "touchpad" in kickoff menu18:58
The_Jagkio_http: I found nothing there. Maybe there's some script or terminal command to enable this18:59

abaloneDoes anyone here have an idea why Stella (Atari VCS emulator) would not run in OpenGL mode? Nvidia drivers work, glxgear works, desktop effects work, games work, and Stella OpenGL works in Linux Mint but not Kubuntu. It falls back to software rendering which isn't as pretty.22:36
