[00:17] dose kde have a good onscreen keyboard yet? [00:47] Hi All === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [03:46] somehow 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? [03:48] if you're in Dolphin right-click on a .jpg file and go all the way to the bottom and click Properties [03:49] in the box that opens look to the right for a little wrench icon - click that [03:50] you'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 viewer [03:51] move whichever app you want to the top [04:43] Hi 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] Any tips what I should be checking? [04:47] Crell: checking yahoo support docs for that error code might help [04:47] Would they have anything, since I'm using Kopete? [04:48] I'm unclear if that's a Yahoo error or Kopete error. [04:48] it sounds like a yahoo error code [04:48] but google wont hurt [04:48] hm [04:48] or checking the Kopete docs [04:49] ahul fell awen amidis [04:49] what language is that...? [04:50] in tamazigh [04:54] Sorry, I speak little English [04:55] EvilResistance: OK, figured it out. [04:55] bentexui: not a problem, but what country are you from? [04:55] Kopete wants username, not username@yahoo.com [04:55] The error handling for that is just horrid. (Not sure which side it's on, Kopete or Yahoo.) [04:55] bentexui: this channel here is the english support, there might be another channel for your country or language [04:55] Crell: heh [04:55] canary [04:56] Hey there, a few weeks ago my update notifier disappeared from my system tray and now I don't get notified about updates any more. I have the package manager configured to check for updates every day and notify me if there are any. Which widget do I need to reenable to see updates again? [04:56] channel spanish?

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:57] thats for spanish, but meh [04:57] bentexui: ^ [04:57] no [04:57] but for kubuntu i'm not sure :/ [04:57] canary islan [04:57] ah canary islands [04:57] * EvilResistance checks primary language for said location [04:57] yes [04:58] bentexui: the primary language is spanish in the canary islands, no? [04:58] yes [04:59] bentexui: i would try asking in the #kubuntu-es channel, as that is the Spanish language channel for Kubuntu Support. [04:59] ok [04:59] but there's almost nobody there [05:00] bentexui: you're free, also, to ask in #ubuntu-es [05:00] which is the Ubuntu Support channel for Spanish Language [05:00] but i'm not sure how much luck you will get there. [05:00] ok [05:01] thank you very much [05:01] you are welcome./ [05:01] (without the / :P) [06:09] hi === phdp is now known as Shinka [06:14] can anyone tell me how to install kubuntu updates manually ? [08:48] Hmmm, 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. [08:49] It's strange, since apt-get and aptitude both seem to work fine. [08:49] Synaptic, Apper, Aptitude-GTK and such are all greyed-out and with blank fields, though.

[17:37] Doc_exe, whynot just install the widget from the cashew add widgets , type picture frame in the text box and click on the resulting icon [17:38] a heck of a lot less trouble than trying find a source to compile [17:38] BluesKaj I am looking to modify the code for my own needs... that is why i looking for the source [17:39] * BluesKaj shrugs , well good luck [17:39] then my search continues [18:27] Updates are available and when I open the window to do the update and click the "Install Updates" button I get "This operation cannot continue since propert authorization was not provided"..

[19:51] yep === qwerty is now known as Guest39607 [20:00] ubsafder: not if you want an ubuntu system on a usb [20:00] ubsafder: you'd have to install the ubuntu iso using the USB Startup Disk Creator or w/e it was [20:00] s/was/is/ [20:15] how can u find the disk behind /dev/sdb ? [20:17] i have a machine with 4 identical disk for safety i'll like to know exactly the names [20:18] of each all plugged i know i have sdb sdc sdd [20:18] ubsafder: /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 blkid [20:19] If you always want to mount same disk to same mountpoint, you should make an entry in file /etc/fstab using the UUID of the disk [20:20] so how can i get sdb -> physical disk should i uplug while running to see which one dispears ? [20:27] ubsafder: 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 best [20:30] hmm so if one fails one day i never can find out which physical it is === keffie_jayx is now known as effie_jayx === effie_jayx is now known as keffie_jayx [20:32] the four disk are sata i don't expect to plug them in different other the bios does it [20:34] i am tro ying to prepare for the day my raid fails to know which disk i would have to change not removing a good one [20:37] !UUID [20:37] To 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) [20:51] anybody know how to get applications to stay in one activity or another [20:57] semitones: I believe it's in System Settings.. Workspace Behaviour... Virtual Desktops... to check off "different widgets for each desktop" [20:59] thanks 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" activity [20:59] Has support for video4linux been removed from the kernel in Kubuntu 11.10? [21:01] semitones, or try using different desktops for apps [21:02] semitones: Since the main panel is a widget, if you start an app from a panel on desktop X, app should stay there [21:06] RickKnight, v4l is still available in the repos [21:06] genii-around: the behavior I see is that the bottom panel shows the same minimized windows no matter which activity I'm in [21:07] If I have amarok minimized, I'll see if in "work" or in "music" [21:07] Hm === EvilResistance is now known as Resistance [21:09] BluesKaj: SO the 11.10 kernel still supports V4L? I am trying to install an app that is complaining of no kernel support for V4L. The app is ZBar.

[22:34] JeroenDeDauw: why is it burned onto a USB? Do you not have a CD drive on the laptop? [22:34] BarkingFish: indeed [22:34] BarkingFish: old laptop as in 2 years old [22:35] How did you put the ISO onto USB? Did you do that in windows? [22:35] No, using Kubuntu's startup disk creator [22:36] I'm running linux (inc Kubuntu) for 2 years, so I know the setup is failing here for some reason [22:38] JeroenDeDauw: what was the problem ? === Zechariah is now known as zkriesse [22:39] I'd suggest remaking a full ISO onto the USB stick - there are good instructions here, JeroenDeDauw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating_a_bootable_Ubuntu_USB_flash_drive [22:40] The 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] phoenix_firebrd: I'll repaste what he said :) [22:40] I'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? [22:41] BarkingFish: the orange blinkling, was that the cursor? [22:42] no, the entire monitor is orange [22:42] all that appears on it is a blinking _ in the top left [22:42] i'm thinking corrupted iso or the burn didn't work properly [22:43] BarkingFish: i remember some had the similar issue, its a display issue, you have to add some options to to the boot in grub [22:43] BarkingFish: i forgot it, let me check my logs [22:44] phoenix_firebrd: it sounds to me like you may have more knowledge of this than I do, if you want to try sorting this, you're welcome :) [22:44] BarkingFish: ok [22:46] JeroenDeDauw: when does the screen turns orange? [22:47] JeroenDeDauw: when using the installer or before getting to the installer? [22:48] BarkingFish: I already tried re-burning the image onto the usb, which did not help, but not the re-download, will do that now [22:48] phoenix_firebrd: I get to the menu [22:48] The one with "install", "expert install", "fix broken install", ect [22:49] When I choose an option there I get the orange screen [22:50] JeroenDeDauw: 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] BarkingFish: torrent [22:51] From http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download [22:51] JeroenDeDauw: did you check the md5 checksum? [22:51] Desktop Alternate CD, 64bit [22:51] right - would you be able to try downloading the ISO via a different method, http maybe? [22:51] phoenix_firebrd: nope, will do [22:51] JeroenDeDauw: that is very importan t [22:53] phoenix_firebrd: I know, but laziness won :/ [22:53] JeroenDeDauw: is your system a x64 one? [22:54] phoenix_firebrd: checksum matches - meh [22:54] phoenix_firebrd: yeah [22:55] I'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] JeroenDeDauw: why do you choose an alternate cd? [22:56] phoenix_firebrd: because I want full disk encryption [22:56] JeroenDeDauw: can you find any options for display settings, vga etc? [22:57] phoenix_firebrd: huh? I don't understand [22:57] JeroenDeDauw: wait [23:05] JeroenDeDauw: can you find any option called safe graphics mode? [23:09] JeroenDeDauw: try the nomodeset option [23:11] phoenix_firebrd: I don't see any options anywhere [23:11] JeroenDeDauw: do you know how to set the boot parameters? [23:12] phoenix_firebrd: I guess it's the thing I get when hitting "e" in the installer menu? [23:12] JeroenDeDauw: very good [23:13] There is "set gfxpayload=keep", should that be "=nomodest"? [23:13] JeroenDeDauw: can you see any word called splash? [23:13] phoenix_firebrd: nope [23:14] JeroenDeDauw: you have to add the nomodeset option somewhere in this, i forgot it, wait let me check [23:15] JeroenDeDauw: can you see a line something like " linux /boot/vm...."? [23:16] phoenix_firebrd: yeah: linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/ ... [23:16] JeroenDeDauw: ya [23:17] JeroenDeDauw: that actually takes 2 lines right? [23:18] JeroenDeDauw: very good, i have a picture for you, that will make things easy [23:18] JeroenDeDauw: http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png [23:18] JeroenDeDauw: just add the option nomodeset in the correct place , nothing else [23:19] phoenix_firebrd: right: atm there is "quit --" at the end of the line [23:20] JeroenDeDauw: does the line end with -- ? [23:20] all my libreoffice tooltips are black with black text, is that because it's a gtk app? how can i fix it? [23:20] phoenix_firebrd: yeah [23:21] JeroenDeDauw: ok after that add the word nomodeset [23:22] JeroenDeDauw: there should be a space between -- and nomodeset [23:23] JeroenDeDauw: then after that press ctrl+x to boot [23:25] phoenix_firebrd: no effect as far as I can see, I still end up w/ the orange screen [23:28] JeroenDeDauw: i dont if this will help , but try this option and see xforcevesa [23:30] phoenix_firebrd: nope, still the same :/ [23:30] JeroenDeDauw: do you have anyother linux image? [23:33] JeroenDeDauw: it seems that display drivers or something related to it is not the cause of this problem [23:33] JeroenDeDauw: brb [23:35] phoenix_firebrd: I could get another one. What would you recommend? As long as It's Kubuntu x64 and has full disk encryption I'm happy [23:44] JeroenDeDauw: i am back [23:44] JeroenDeDauw: let me check about that [23:44] JeroenDeDauw: try the kubuntu normal cd and follow the instructions in this webpage http://laffers.net/howtos/install-kubuntu-10-10-with-full-disk-encryption/ [23:46] JeroenDeDauw: got to go now, good luck [23:47] phoenix_firebrd: Thanks!
