hanasakisomehow kubuntu dolphin wants to open a jpg in eog ... what is the default that should be used in kde not gnome and how do I set it?03:46
qbitif you're in Dolphin right-click on a .jpg file and go all the way to the bottom and click Properties03:48
qbitin the box that opens look to the right for a little wrench icon - click that03:49
qbityou'll see a box titled Application Prefernce Order, you can set it there - of you have Gwenview installed I believe it is the default picture viewer03:50

CrellHi folks.  In Kopete, when I try to connect to a Yahoo account, I'm getting an error 1013.  I have no idea what 1013 is, though.04:43
CrellAny tips what I should be checking?04:43
EvilResistanceCrell: checking yahoo support docs for that error code  might help04:47
CrellWould they have anything, since I'm using Kopete?04:47

keithzgHmmm, two rather odd issues with my upgrade to Oneiric on my main desktop machine, the most problematic being that all GUI package managers are just greyed out when loaded.08:48

BluesKajScunizi, use synaptic instead of muon , I still do even tho I'm a KDE guy18:59

EvilResistanceubsafder:  not if you want an ubuntu system on a usb20:00
EvilResistanceubsafder:  you'd have to install the ubuntu iso using the USB Startup Disk Creator or w/e it was20:00
EvilResistances/was/is/20:00
ubsafderhow can u find the disk behind /dev/sdb ?20:15
ubsafderi have a machine with 4 identical disk  for safety i'll like to know exactly the names20:17
ubsafderof each all plugged i know i have sdb sdc sdd20:18
genii-aroundubsafder: /dev/sdb is the entire raw disk. /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb2 etcetera would be partitions on that disk with hopefully filesystems.  Each disk should have a unique UUID number which you can see with: sudo blkid20:18
genii-aroundIf you always want to mount same disk to same mountpoint, you should make an entry in file /etc/fstab using the UUID of the disk20:19
ubsafderso how can i get sdb -> physical disk should i uplug while running to see which one dispears ?20:20
genii-aroundubsafder: The problem is that they will not always be the same disk. It depends on the order you plug them in. The first one you plug in will always be sdb, second one sdc, and so on ( if you only have already sda in the machine). This is why using UUID are best20:27
ubsafderhmm so if one fails one day i never can find out which physical it is20:30

genii-around!UUID20:37
ubottuTo see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)20:37
semitonesanybody know how to get applications to stay in one activity or another20:51
genii-aroundsemitones: I believe it's in System Settings.. Workspace Behaviour... Virtual Desktops... to check off "different widgets for each desktop"20:57
semitonesthanks genii-around I'll give it a try -- but it's not really the widgets, it's applications like amarok -- can I get amarok to only stay in the "music" activity20:59
RickKnightHas support for video4linux been removed from the kernel in Kubuntu 11.10?20:59
BluesKajsemitones, or try using different desktops for apps21:01
genii-aroundsemitones: Since the main panel is a widget, if you start an app from a panel on desktop X, app should stay there21:02
BluesKajRickKnight, v4l is still available in the repos21:06
semitonesgenii-around: the behavior I see is that the bottom panel shows the same minimized windows no matter which activity I'm in21:06

JeroenDeDauwI'm trying to do a fresh Kubuntu install on my old laptop - Kubuntu 11.10 x64 alternate CD burnt onto an USB - when I do the install thing my monitor turns orange and only shows a blinking _ at the top left. wtf?22:32
BarkingFishJeroenDeDauw: why is it burned onto a USB?  Do you not have a CD drive on the laptop?22:34
JeroenDeDauwBarkingFish: indeed22:34
JeroenDeDauwBarkingFish: old laptop as in 2 years old22:34
BarkingFishHow did you put the ISO onto USB?  Did you do that in windows?22:35
JeroenDeDauwNo, using Kubuntu's startup disk creator22:35
JeroenDeDauwI'm running linux (inc Kubuntu) for 2 years, so I know the setup is failing here for some reason22:36

BarkingFishThe only reasonable thing I can think of is that the ISO you burned onto the stick is corrupt, you might want to download that again.22:40

BarkingFishi'm thinking corrupted iso or the burn didn't work properly22:42

phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: when does the screen turns orange?22:46
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: when using the installer or before getting to the installer?22:47
JeroenDeDauwBarkingFish: I already tried re-burning the image onto the usb, which did not help, but not the re-download, will do that now22:48
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: I get to the menu22:48
JeroenDeDauwThe one with "install", "expert install", "fix broken install", ect22:48
JeroenDeDauwWhen I choose an option there I get the orange screen22:49
BarkingFishJeroenDeDauw: if the ISO is damaged, re-burning it is likely to produce the same results.  How did you download the ISO? http, ftp, torrent?22:50
JeroenDeDauwBarkingFish: torrent22:50
JeroenDeDauwFrom http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download22:51
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: did you check the md5 checksum?22:51

BarkingFishright - would you be able to try downloading the ISO via a different method, http maybe?22:51
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: nope, will do22:51

JeroenDeDauwI'm running a Kubuntu x64 install on it right now, but it's my first ever linux install, and it got pretty messed up, hence the re-install :)22:55
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: why do you choose an alternate cd?22:55

phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: can you find any options for display settings, vga etc?22:56
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: huh? I don't understand22:57
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: wait22:57
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: can you find any option called safe graphics mode?23:05
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: try the nomodeset option23:09
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: I don't see any options anywhere23:11
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: do you know how to set the boot parameters?23:11
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: I guess it's the thing I get when hitting "e" in the installer menu?23:12
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: very good23:12
JeroenDeDauwThere is "set gfxpayload=keep", should that be "=nomodest"?23:13
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: can you see any word called splash?23:13
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: nope23:13
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: you have to add the nomodeset option somewhere in this, i forgot it, wait let me check23:14
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: can you see a line something like " linux /boot/vm...."?23:15
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: yeah: linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/ ...23:16
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: ya23:16
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: that actually takes 2 lines right?23:17

phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png23:18
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: just add the option nomodeset in the correct place , nothing else23:18
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: right: atm there is "quit --" at the end of the line23:19
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: does the line end with -- ?23:20
jschallall my libreoffice tooltips are black with black text, is that because it's a gtk app? how can i fix it?23:20
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: yeah23:20
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw:  ok after that add the word nomodeset23:21
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: there should be a space between -- and nomodeset23:22
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: then after that press ctrl+x to boot23:23
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: no effect as far as I can see, I still end up w/ the orange screen23:25
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: i dont if this will help , but try this option and see xforcevesa23:28
JeroenDeDauwphoenix_firebrd: nope, still the same :/23:30
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: do you have anyother linux image?23:30
phoenix_firebrdJeroenDeDauw: it seems that display drivers or something related to it is not the cause of this problem23:33
