=== zkriesse is now known as zkriesse_ [00:58] just formatted external to ext4 but fdisk still shows hpfs/ntfs? [00:59] I need help removing the Bluetooth manager. [00:59] I keep getting a message that says; "Bluetooth devices not detected." But I haven't installed any devices. [01:01] asobi: i would just double check that your changes have been applied where ever you have tried to re-format, and you can output sudo fdisk -l to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ if youd like [01:02] LINKSWORD2: is there a hardware switch for BT ? [01:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/763337/ [01:02] Nope. I'm running a desktop system. [01:03] LINKSWORD2: i would just fire up a package manager and search bluetooth [01:04] I wonder if rfkill can help [01:05] I'm not finding any INSTALLED packages in the Package Manager as far as bluetooth goes. [01:07] LINKSWORD2: ive never had KDE, kubuntu, and bluetooth, so i cant say what to do [01:07] i assume cmd to format is: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 [01:08] Found it, but it was being a pain in the neck to find. [01:08] asobi: i use gparted [01:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/763343/ [01:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Partition_The_Disk [01:10] thanks [01:11] Does anyone here have Kubuntu alongside another Linux distro? [01:12] LINKSWORD2: i did [01:13] Which distro? [01:13] another *buntu [01:13] 10.04 LTS vanilla [01:14] I'm looking to broaden my knowledge of Linux. [01:14] I like Kubuntu and the KDE interface, but I also want to learn another architecture. So I thought I'd get opinions in here. [01:15] architecture?... you mean another DE ? like XFCE? [01:15] or another distro, like arch linux? [01:16] My mistake. Pardon me. lol [01:16] Yeah, another distro. [01:16] if you have the hardware, virtualbox is an easy way to distro-hop [01:16] Currently, I've got installation CD's for Arch, and two versions of Debian. [01:30] Switching between a usb headset and desktop external audio is a nightmare.. when I get the output right the input from the mic goes wonky.. any hints or suggestions welcome.. pauvcontrol helps but doesn't fix the wonkyness. === JackyAlcine is now known as [Jacky] === [Jacky] is now known as JackyAlcine [01:52] holstein: it worked. thank you === EvilResistance is now known as Resistance === CHIRI is now known as CHIRI666 [04:14] how can i reactivate desktop effects after kde disabled them because things froze/slowed down? === mike is now known as Guest89706 [04:57] kde 4.7.4 released on yesterday [04:57] when we could get kde 4.7.4 on Kubuntu repos?

[05:05] hanthana: at the end of the page you can see "PPA Testing KDE 4.7.4 Oneiric" when the below row "running successful" shows yes, then it means 4.7.4 is available for us. so keep checking there [05:08] phoenix_firebrd: is there any roadmap for this? [05:09] hanthana: sorry dont know [05:10] ok [05:59] Hey, I'm having problems with desktop effects on my system. I have an integrated Intel chipset and when i turn on effects they work brilliantly, until I log out. When I try to log back in, during the login process OpenGL crashes and kicks me back to the login screen, where I can login properly but with effects disabled. Any ideas? [06:00] may a better graphic driver? [06:01] btw anyone knows a good paint program for linux? [06:01] possibly, not sure where to get one tho, im a bit of a noob still [06:01] I use GIMP for my graphics needs [06:01] it to complicated anyhow for my needs [06:02] aah [06:02] overkill [06:02] i only need to mess around with some faces or scanned docs or make some squares [06:02] i will look for that [06:03] i used artweaver at windows, was kinda handy [06:04] cryojenx: but with your desktop it sounds like anything is messed there, as if it dont store your esttings [06:04] settings [06:05] well its a fresh install, and it tries to load effects then crashes, so i think its saving the settings, but just goes into a failsafe mode when it crashes [06:07] i did go for a different driver for my nvidia card, its at system - Hardware driver [06:08] i tried "additional drivers" it didnt find any others available for my hardware :p [06:09] that sucks, because i could choose a few. you may need admin rights to save it? [06:10] got em [06:11] did you see that? http://ubuntuku.org/10/how-to-fix-intel-graphics-issues-in-kubuntu-maverick/ [06:11] leme look, brb [06:15] ok done, lemme go test it [06:15] oki [06:15] much luck [06:17] Bleh, still no dice [06:17] sucks [06:17] ya [06:18] well did you pick another driver? [06:18] if you can do that [06:18] didnt have the option, it said no proprietary drivers on the system [06:20] oh well, I'm looking into upgrading to a proper graphics card anyway [06:20] i did search for " intel graphic kubuntu crash effects" at the net [06:25] ya, I'm not so great with search engine results. got Asperger's and have difficulty parsing the mass of unrelated info it throws at me to find the right result :p [06:25] i would allways look for the result what do match best at your keywords and the descriptions sounds sane, else there comes so much junnk out [06:27] ya, it's crazy all the unrelated crap you get [06:28] yes, it was way better at earlier times, but in the meantimes you get all the jerks at page 1 [06:28] do you know the revision number from your intel chipset? [06:29] i just know that intel was allways difficult under windows, not sure if they did fix it now [06:29] err under linux [06:29] intel is more suported by windows [06:30] lemme check [06:30] man, gimp kills me, i only need a square with a cross in it :P [06:31] revision 02 [06:31] wb [06:32] ty lol accidently closed rc [06:32] hehe [06:32] sorry, i meant the typ [06:32] type of the chipset [06:32] 82Q963/Q965 [06:35] lol @ asperger's [06:35] jmichaelx Excuse me? [06:36] I dont think there;s anything funny about autism, not even so called high functioning types such as Asperger's [06:36] * jmichaelx <-- has high functioning autism, and identifies with what your feelings about masses of useless data/spam showing up in search results [06:36] oh ok [06:37] no, i was definitely not making fun... sorry for not being clear [06:37] sorry, misunderstanding [06:37] is cool [06:37] lol, and if you are not sick allready you may be it soon. i got so upset from that crap what they post, its even not to handle if you try to ignore it [06:38] yep [06:38] i spend so much times to go through all this pages all time, spendign hours and no solution [06:38] someone really needs to design a better kind of search engine. its funny how MS's ads for Bing made it seem like the answer but it was all PR [06:38] i use ixquick.com [06:38] its not to bad at all [06:38] i use DuckDuckGo [06:38] i have a very long list of grips with google search... [06:38] souds funny :) [06:38] i'll try ixquick [06:39] s/grips/gripes [06:39] now this whole preview thing.... [06:39] agreed RE: Google [06:39] well there is also a lot of advertising at the web its not only good informations anymore [06:40] best you can come through to use very specific keywords, to get good results [06:40] ya, the commercialization of the net has really made things worse IMO [06:40] and well, i still look up for that driver, but cant get a lot out [06:40] i wind up using '-some_word_i_want_excluded' a lot [06:40] cryojenx: yes, thats it [06:41] lol, may not a bad idea to search over excluded words [06:41] ya will try that [06:42] cryojenx: did you see that ? but its more about acceleration https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/UxaTesting [06:42] * jmichaelx would love to know just how many linux users have some form or autism or another [06:43] no didnt see it, I'll look tho [06:43] jmichaelx I would gues a VERY large number [06:43] jmichaelx: i think that will depends on the daytime too and how much are on, to get a answer on that [06:44] cryojenx: you use the 64bit version from kubuntu? [06:44] ya [06:44] my guess would also be that the percentage of autistics among linux users is much higher than with other OS's [06:45] sorry for all the OT here [06:45] I would think it would hold true for open source OSes across the board [06:45] yea, i would agree [06:46] theres that fascination with understanding how the guts of a system tick, like when I was a kid i would take my electronic toys apart to try and figure out how they worked [06:46] cryojenx: there is a bug about something, says eax? will not work with intel ? but not sure if that match for you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/252094?comments=all [06:46] Launchpad bug 252094 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Karmic) "MASTER: Poor graphics performance on Intel" [Wishlist,Fix released] [06:46] hmm, EAX is a sound thing i believe [06:47] autistic people tend to break everything down to their smallest bits [06:47] EXA is it [06:47] oh ok hold on [06:48] well, i learned not to learn all time how anything works, especially linux, because its to big to get behind it, and thats why a lot peoples work on it. you need to specify yourself today, because anything is mostly made overcomplicated === ubuntu is now known as dinacicc [06:49] its mostly more efficient to be focused as interested in all [06:49] but i did do that too, and take a lot things apart :) [06:49] well what I'm doing is learning about the hardware components first, and then working my way up from there to the software level [06:50] i see. [06:50] * jmichaelx LOVES the hardware [06:50] i actually wait for a working driver, or replace the hardware [06:50] haha, i love it when ppl get linux running on their Sega Dreamcast or Digital camera [06:51] :-D [06:51] i had the problems early times in linux, and the best thing was to look for compatible hardware [06:51] ya, well again, i was planning on upgrading the card anyway, the performance of the integrated chipset is crap on Second Life [06:51] i never saw linux on a digital camera :p [06:52] cryojenx: do i already know you? detroit? [06:52] ya, some dude got it running on ... i think it was a Canon, can't recall the model [06:52] Joit: you can install linux on ALL kinds of things... BSD on even more things :-D [06:52] lol [06:52] not as far as I know, Biloxi [06:53] ok [06:53] ok, i talk sometimes to someone else in here who uses secondlife, and i think is also 'on the spectrum' [06:54] Heck I'd try to get it running on a toaster if i could figure out how to input bash commands via bread-based punch cards [06:54] ah ok, cool [06:54] http://www.theinquirer.net/img/4085/flyingtoasters.jpg?1241332028 [06:55] HA! [06:55] cryojenx: may you try a different resolution from your screen ? [06:55] hmm, good idea Joit [06:55] what is the exact problem you are having with your screen? also what card, what version of KDE? [06:57] whats happening is that i have an intel integrated chipset and desktop effects work beautifully, til i log out, when i try to log back in, it crashes on loading, kicks me back out to the login manager and i have to re-login, only now opengl is disabled [06:57] and its Oneiric [06:58] cryojenx: have you gone to Settings Manager>Desktop Effects>Advanced, and disabled functionality checks? === ubuntu is now known as dinacicc [06:59] lemme try that [07:00] lol, guess hes on reboo again [07:00] reboot [07:00] lol apparently so... or restart KDE/X [07:01] Nope, still crashes [07:01] damn [07:02] you might also want to try disabling the 'blur' effect. i know that effect caused many problems for a long time, whether or not that is still so, i do not know [07:02] ive actually got everything unchecked except wobbly windows, guess i could uncheck that [07:03] brb again [07:05] wow, even with every effect unchecked, it still doesn't like me lol [07:06] well, its may only the driver, what lacks [07:06] another page http://anothersysadmin.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/ubuntu-904-and-uxa-acceleration-in-xorg/ [07:07] lol that my exact computer model [07:07] ach, you may just need to ask when more people are here (during the day, US time)... i am sure you will be able to getthings working [07:08] ya, its a work in progress [07:08] at least its a lot less of an issue than problems ive had with other distros, Fedora was a pain in the arse just to get simple crap working [07:09] lol [07:09] fedora does not work with as much hardware, out of the box [07:09] its may a true hacking system, where you can hack with your keyboard [07:10] a lot of that has to do with patent-encumbered drivers, etc [07:10] yeah, lesson learned. I tried it cause i was intrigued by the full disk encryption, but wasnt worth the hassle [07:10] just tells me i pick the right distro then :) at last i did like debian a lot at the beginning [07:11] brb [07:11] debian is great... i just use ubuntuto more easily have cutting edge software.... debian stable can get boring on the desktop [07:12] mixing debian stable with unstable, experimental, etc can get messy [07:16] yeah, i used debian as it was at 3, it was a mess but still more stable then anything else [07:16] and it was better organized anyhow [07:22] come to think of it... Desktop effects really aren't that big a deal, they take more ram and a better graphics card would just suck up more electricity. Think I'll leave it as is. [07:22] well its comfort, thats right [07:23] it's just my brain working overtime trying to solve a challenging puzzle, but sometimes its ok to just walk away [07:25] yeah intel crads are mostly a pain, and you cannot solve it, when there is no matching driver [07:25] its not a problem from configuring it, it simpel dont wrok [07:26] yeah [07:26] tht what i learend at my early debian :p [07:26] its still a probem too that intel doesnt have opensource drivers and someone need to figure it out [07:26] that is, what i been told [07:27] don't Nvidia and ATI have the same problem? proprietary drivers? [07:28] yeah but they gave out drivers for linux, and i figure, somenone looked into it, you only cannot copy her code [07:28] ati and nvidia anyhow support linux [07:29] at last they make drivers under linux [07:29] i dont think intel does do that [07:30] ya i think intel has too much vested interest in keeping an alliance with microsoft [07:31] yeah, i think they even stated that [07:31] i still try to get artweaver to work under wine, lol but missing tahoma or new times roman [07:56] Resistance: are you there?

[12:23] i will [12:23] ok good luck [12:24] so regarding kde bugs no problem [12:25] always take the simple solution [12:25] use something else [12:25] ok good luck.

[12:47] hiyas all [12:56] Hi. Can anyone recommend a laptop for *buntu, intended use is software development(embedded and other) so it should be reasonably fast to be able to compile software on site. I've had driver problems with most of the laptops I've tried, and i'm fed up with it. MAC and Win7 is not a solution. [13:00] roland: mm [13:00] well intel video card , first [13:00] ati and nvidia maybe are better but for linux intel is well supported at least for video card [13:00] The lenovos should be sufficient - as long as you do not go for hybrid graphics. [13:00] +1 lenovo [13:01] I have to add that modern Lenovo's aren't as robust as 4/5 years ago. (but they are cheaper) [13:03] My 3 year old Lenovo T61p had to be sent back 6 times. Very nice graphic card, very dark screen. Battery died from 95% to 0% the day the warranty stopped. [13:04] alvin: i had a toshiba [13:04] intel based [13:04] alvin: in the most of cases here in italy i can try linux on the laptop [13:04] basically any laptop with [13:04] before buy [13:04] intel procesor will do fine [13:04] newer series tough [13:04] Ddpbf: no [13:05] wifi ? [13:05] acpi uspport? [13:05] Peace:? [13:05] That specific Lenovo laptop, while having design troubles, works very well with Linux. nVidia only. Most laptops nowadays have 2 video cards. I don't know how Linux handles that. [13:05] Intel procesors could be used as GPU [13:05] too [13:05] so there is no problems with drivers [13:05] Ddpbf: ok so wifi ? [13:05] webcam? [13:05] Intel wifi is also [13:05] open sourced [13:06] not ever intel wifi works [13:06] well [13:06] *drivers for it [13:06] Most of it works flawlessly [13:06] ok generally speaking you can say that [13:06] on other hand atheros, realtek and broadcom [13:07] have more problematic chips [13:07] That is my expirience with linux and laptops [13:07] Peace-: most of the time the laptops need to be ordered, so not possible to try beforehand [13:08] roland: yoiu are from ? [13:08] estonia [13:08] expirience? what expired then? ;) [13:08] ah lol [13:08] szal: devil [13:08] :P [13:09] computer shops do not keep a big stock, everything is ordered from a bigger supplier and shipped overnight [13:09] roland: btw intel is more compatible [13:10] roland: you should see what you want ... then try to get some informations about the devices into the laptop [13:11] last laptop/ubuntu intel video combination I tried had issues with a second monitor ( picture was wavy, depending of the amount of color white on screen or something ) [13:11] i think it was gma hd3xxxx [13:12] roland: you can't be sure about your laptop unitil you have not tested [13:12] it [13:17] roland, http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [13:17] BluesKaj: that site is quite useless, tried it already [13:17] ok [13:18] it helps to know what will work IMO , perhaps useless to you because your fav brand isn't included , but useful to others nonetheless [13:19] BluesKaj: no, lenovo is on the list [13:19] but it only lists 32bit, and doesn't say what doesn't work [13:20] BluesKaj: like, what does this mean... 10.10 (Pre-installed only), when I download ubuntu from the web it won't work or what? [13:22] sounds to me like the model listed came shipped w/ Maverick pre-installed and is tested w/ that but not w/ other versions [13:24] roland: plus if there's a language barrier, #ubuntu-ee might be your place of choice (no idea if that even exists; if not, perhaps Finnish is similar enough to Estonian to get along in #ubuntu-fi) [13:24] hi [13:24] when will kde 4.7.4 packages be available? [13:25] gribouille: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [13:25] gribouille: if you get updrade :) 4.7.4 will be ... [13:25] ok, that site is not that useless, apparently it even lists what doesn't work on which version and hw inside, but still you need to click on every model to see what's what. [13:25] Peace-, are the packages already available? [13:25] szal: no language barrier [13:25] gribouille: guess no [13:26] Peace-, when will they be? [13:26] Peace-, yes you asked me to test it and I did , works fine :) [13:26] BluesKaj: :) i have upgraded [13:27] now should be able to open backup files too if you want [13:27] :D [13:27] gribouille: probably best ask yofel that when he's on the machine [13:30] for 4.7.3, it took 4 days between the kde release and the kubuntu release. why did it take som mutch time? [13:30] gribouille: because is free? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [13:30] it's a lots of work [13:30] Peace-, and? [13:30] lack of people working on it [13:30] Peace-, so i need to replace the older version [13:31] does kubuntu patch the kde packages a lot? [13:31] BluesKaj: it overwrite it yes [13:31] overwrites [13:31] and I can't really say when 4.7.4 will be out, other than "soon" [13:31] yofel, do you have to patch the packages a lot? [13:32] not that much, but we still need to build and test all packages, and 4.7.4 isn't the ONLY thing on the todo list [13:33] yofel: you do packages?
