maizdoes anyone know on how arista-transcoder work in kubuntu11.10? mine seems to be not working00:46
=== Guest15044 is now known as ironfroggy
poyntzI'm getting no sound on kubuntu oneiric. please help me diagnose the problem01:50
holsteinpoyntz: open a terminal... run a few commands and look for your audio device... look in01:54
holsteinlspci01:54
holsteinthen, run these 2, which are more important... if you see the device here, all is well (usually)01:54
holsteinaplay -l01:55
holsteinarecord -l01:55
poyntzholstein: lspci | grep audio didn't find anything :S01:58
holsteinpoyntz: how about when you just run lspci, and look?01:58
poyntz00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)01:59
poyntz01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/73001:59

poyntzholstein: it was case sensitive01:59
holsteinand aplay -l ?01:59
poyntzhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/765533/02:00
holsteinpoyntz: cool... so its likely just something fiddly with the volume applet, or the wires02:01
holsteinis this a fresh install for you? or something that broke after an update?02:01
poyntzfresh install02:01
poyntzon ext402:02
poyntzI tried updating originally but it broke02:02
holsteinpoyntz: you can open alsamixer in the terminal, and try tweaking everything there a bit02:02
holsteindont trust the labels02:02
poyntzno lock :(02:05
poyntz*luck02:05
holsteinpoyntz: which?02:09
holsteinalsa mixer?02:09
holsteinchecking the cables?02:09
holsteinwhen is the last time you heard sound from that system?02:09
poyntzbefore the last apt-get update & upgrade02:10
holsteinpoyntz: ?02:10
holsteinso its not a fresh install?02:10
poyntzit is02:10
holsteindo you have the last kernel there?02:10
holsteinpoyntz: if it were my system, i would try the LIVE CD of the last time it worked, and confirm that the hardware is fuctioning02:11
poyntzi installed fresh from a live install on the existing ext4 partition02:11
holsteinthen, i would try going one way or the other with ALSA02:11
=== zkriesse is now known as Guest83282
holsteinif theres a front and back port, try the other one02:12
poyntzholstein, what i meant is it was working off the fresh installation02:12
poyntzi thing something broke during my last few updates02:12
holsteinpoyntz: OK... so do you have an older kernel there?02:12
holsteintry booting that older kernel02:12
holsteinyou might need to unhide grub, or i think you can hit shift to show grub temporarily02:13
poyntzwouldn't the fresh installation replace the old kernal?02:13
=== Guest83282 is now known as zkriesse
holsteinpoyntz: yes, im just not following you02:13
holsteini thought you said audio worked on the fresh install, then you udated02:13
poyntzyep02:13
poyntztrue02:13
holsteineither way, look for an older kernel02:13
poyntzi updated a few packages02:14
poyntzcant remember which ones02:14
holsteinif you have one, boot it, and test02:14
poyntzi don't think i do02:15
holsteinpoyntz: well, boot and check.. it literally wont hurt to see if you do or not02:15
poyntzi don't02:16
poyntzgah, i'll do it anyway02:16
poyntzbrb02:16
holsteini think you'll find the fix to this in a kernel or alsa up/down grade02:16
maizI can't use arista-transcoder in kubuntu 11.10 , anyone know how?02:17
holsteini would probably just try another transcoder02:18
holsteinmaiz: whats the error?02:18
maizholstein: hold on..02:19
maizholstein: http://paste.ubuntu.com/765549/02:19
maizholstein: im not really sure where to start..just install some dependencies needed..yet still..do i need to sudo?02:20
holsteinmaiz: you can try gksudo i suppose02:21
holsteini wouldnt imagine why you would need to, nor feel comfortable running it as root all the time02:21
maizholstein: okey..i try first...02:21
maizholstein: yes, exactly02:21
poyntzholstein: no luck :/02:22
poyntzi'm on the old linux image02:22
poyntz3.0.0-1202:22
poyntzstill no sound02:23
szalis anyone informed what was changed from 11.04 to 11.10 to make KDE correctly recognize the difference between the Regular and Semibold weights of the Ubuntu font?02:23
holsteinpoyntz: i would look at ALSA, and step that back down a rev02:23
maizholstein: I just wanted to reduce my video file size from 172++02:23
maizholstein: ffmpeg recommend?02:23
holsteinmaiz: i have no idea... what was the error as root?02:24
poyntzholstein: could it be a driver issue?02:24
holsteinpoyntz: sure, but you just tried the older ones02:25
maizholstein: nothing..let me try first, and try to workit out02:26

skierpagewhat's up with Kubuntu 12.04?  Most of the problems I'm having with Nepomuk are supposedly fixed in newer software, so should I try futzing with Project Neon or wait for 12.04 alpha?04:17
szalskierpage: -> #ubuntu+1 please04:17
skierpageszal, OK. Is that also the place to ask about http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Using_Project_Neon_to_contribute_to_KDE ?04:20
* szal has no idea what Project Neon even is04:20
skierpageszal, User: "Software doesn't work". Developer: "Good news, fixed in the current version!" User: ??!? upgrade to pre-alpha, switch to a more current distro, download nightly packages (Project Neon, I think), or rebuild the whole thing from scratch.04:23

kamilnadeemHi05:01
kamilnadeemIs the folder widget part of Kubuntu default plasma desktop, I mean when you did your installation was it it on the when you ran Kubuntu 11.10 for the first time >?05:02
kamilnadeemFolder View*05:03
maizkamilnadeem: yes06:02
excognachi all06:23
Firefishehi excognac06:24
FirefisheI'm using oneiric 11.10, and a nautilus window opens every time I log in to kde.  It happens in gnome, as well.  Any idea how to stop this?06:24
excognacWhy is that the kernel update appears in apper and muod but does not wanna get done with apt-get update? Repositories set properly06:25
excognacFirefishe: no idea, I have trouble with logging out06:25
Firefisheexcognac: What happens when you log out?06:26
Firefisheor try to?06:26
excognacdebugging. BTW Firefishe: You mean Dolphin<06:26
excognacAnd debugging tells me plasma desktop crash06:27
excognacevery single logout06:27
Firefisheexcognac: You may have to do:  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (but be careful here.)  After doing:  sudo apt-get upgrade - sometimes a kernel release indicates it has been held back.  This is usually found at the end of the upgrade output.06:27
Firefisheexcognac: I mean nautilus.  I log in to kde, a nautilus window opens up.  I haven't found a way to disable it.06:28
Firefisheexcognac: Additionally to the above:  You may do a:  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -- after the upgrade process, if you want to play with the held-back kernel release.06:29
Firefisheanyone please correct me or add more if needed06:29
excognac Firefishe So those are sort of beta kernel upgrades?06:34
Firefisheexcognac: Generally speaking, if the end of an upgrade (not dist-upgrade) process says something like 'these packages held back' (they'll usually be listed by name), I would say yes.  It has been my own personal experience that this usually, but not always, almost always applies to kernels; sometimes other packages are affected, though.  The output will give indication.06:36
Firefisheexcognac: As I like to be on the bleeding-edge, I usually do the dist-upgrade to get the latest kernel releases, bugs and all ;).06:37
excognacok thank you Firefishie06:38

kamilnadeemThe calculator widget is not working in Kubuntu 11.10?16:29
Torchkamilnadeem: works for me16:30
Torchkamilnadeem: what's wrong with it for you?16:30
kamilnadeemstrange, I am only able to press 1234 as I press 5 or 6.... teh calcutor returns to 0?16:31
kamilnadeemthat is clears out ?16:31

Torchkamilnadeem: yes. i don't use it normally.16:32
kamilnadeemTorch: Well but it should work. Right.16:33

kamilnadeemIs it happening on your side too?16:36
BluesKajkamilnadeem, Kcalc works fine here16:38

BarkingFishkamilnadeem: Confirmed16:40
BarkingFishThis happens here too16:40
BluesKajyup, here as well16:41
BluesKajkcalc works fine tho , so there's an alternative16:41
BarkingFishSeems to work sort of OK if you use the numpad on your keyboard, but still resets to 0 sometimes if you hit the 5 or 6 key in a number16:42
BluesKaja lot of these widgets are crappy ..the weather stn assumes we all live in the US for example16:42

kamilnadeem:( , I was writing about the activities in KDE for my blogpost on Kubuntu 11.10 , had made a wise screenshot how activity helps a student and hence placed Calculator widget , calculated and phew it is not working16:42
BarkingFishBug title on that is wrongish, it doesn't like numbers with 5's or 6;s in them, regardless how long they are16:43
kamilnadeemBluesKaj: I was able to configure my city "Lucknow" in both the wather widgets.16:43
kamilnadeemweather*16:44
* BluesKaj doesn't rely on widgets much16:44
TorchBarkingFish: i don't think that is the case.16:44
BluesKajkamilnadeem, nice to hear. I gave up on the weather widget 2yrs ago or so16:45
kamilnadeemBluesKaj: :) I also personally keep three widgets. Folder view , analog clock and system monitor.16:45
BarkingFishTorch: I just tried it here - I added 446 to 225 and as I hit the 5, the screen set to 0 - I hit enter to get the answer, and it gave me "ERROR"16:46

TorchBarkingFish: 4.7.316:48
BarkingFishI'm on 4.7.216:48
kamilnadeemTorch: Same here16:48
BarkingFishThis has been in since pre 4.7.1 apparently16:48
kamilnadeemBarkingFish: what distro16:48
BarkingFishKubuntu 11.1016:48
kamilnadeemBarkingFish: ? haven't you received the 4.7.3 updates ?16:48
BarkingFishI won't upgrade to 4.7.3 until they fix plasma and sort out the numerous mass of bugs and assorted cockups which went with it.16:49
BarkingFishI downgraded from 4.7.3 3 days after I first tried it16:49
kamilnadeemBarkingFish: what all problems are you having16:49
kamilnadeemand was 4.7.2 working well, I am also having some crash issues with 4.7.316:50
kamilnadeemI am doubting whether KDE is good for a total new user to land on ? :(16:50
BarkingFishPlasma desktop keeps dying at will, and twice took my entire machine down with it, failure to get network manager to work with ndiswrapper, panel keeps locking up and won't respond to anything - kernel panics on trying to use kstars, kdenlive, kontact, gimp, gwenview and about 20 other packages...16:51
BarkingFishdo you want me to keep going or do you have a good idea? :)16:51
holsteini think moving from *any* thing to somehting else is harder than just booting up something new, and learning it16:51
TorchBarkingFish: graphics card and driver?16:52
kamilnadeemBarkingFish: No way :D , I am only facing random crashing(doesn't takes the system down)16:52
BluesKajkamilnadeem, I'm using the 12 hr AM/PM widget clock , analog desktop clock , and now the weather stn , which finally works for my location16:52
kamilnadeemBarkingFish: Nice16:52
kamilnadeemBluesKaj: Nice :)16:52
BarkingFishTorch: ATI Radeon SE is the card, don't know what the driver is, or how to check16:52
kamilnadeemBarkingFish: that "Nice" was for BluesKaj16:52
BluesKajBarkingFish, have you considered using wicd-kde for your wifi NM?16:53
kamilnadeemGuys I am thinking of using Kcalc instead of that calculator widget for my blogpost16:53
BarkingFishyep, tried it before - it works with ndiswrapper but won't connect to wpa-psk and wpa2 networks, BluesKaj16:54
kamilnadeemor let me see if there is some other calculator plasmoid available for install16:54
BluesKajkamilnadeem, well ,then at least you advising ppl to use an app that works :)16:54
BarkingFisheven though I know the password is correct, wicd-kde insists that it's not16:54
BluesKajBarkingFish, it shouldn't need ndiswrapper16:55
kamilnadeemBluesKaj: That is the point , My blog is intended for those total new users and one doesn't want to drop them on something that is not working16:55
* BluesKaj nods16:56
BarkingFishno, but my wifi adapter does to make it work, BluesKaj - the native module doesn't operate it16:56
kamilnadeemBluesKaj: :)16:56
BluesKajBarkingFish, what model wifi adapter/chip ?16:57
BarkingFishBluesKaj: Siemens Gigaset USB 108, Atheros AR5523 chip16:57
BarkingFishshould work on ath5k, but the VPID isn't in the list of supported equipment on that module16:57
BluesKajis the actual module ath5k17:00
BarkingFishyes17:01
BarkingFishath5k is supposed to support the atheros 5xxx series of wifi chips17:01
kamilnadeemIt seems I have to use Kcalc for the post , well it works. :)17:01
kamilnadeemTake care everyone17:02
BluesKajBarkingFish, is this an anomaly , that your particular wifi chip isn't supported , seems rather odd to me... wonder if it could be the router settings WPA/PSK ..maybe some invstigation into the router wifi setup is in order17:06
=== jubo2_ is now known as jubo2
BarkingFish BluesKaj - I think it's a mistake that the chip isn't supported.  I've googled various linux topics in association with the VPID (129B:160C) and i can find stuff which is supposed to be supported (madwifi, etc) but doesn't work at all.17:08
BarkingFishThe only way I can get the stick to fire up is using ndiswrapper with the original net5523.inf from the disk which came with it, as the driver17:08
=== stefan____ is now known as ickby
BarkingFishI'm using the stick right now, and it works a treat.  I just wish it had operational native support instead of my having to go through the rigmarole of setting up ndiswrapper17:09
BluesKajok, BarkingFish , at least it works17:12
darkfinewhats going on?17:14
BarkingFishIf you'd've hung round long  enough, we'd have told you :P17:15
KottizenBluesKaj: hi - I reinstalled the system and it still didn't work, so I suspect it's a bug in the driver17:17
KottizenBluesKaj: tried to follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668737, and it lead me to the outdated tutorial of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules17:17
Kottizenmanually changed the repository's name to natty and it worked, but I the kernel version was incorrect17:17
Kottizenso I'm kinda stuck17:18
BluesKajKottizen,  ok ...this might more up to date http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Setup_audio_over_HDMI_on_nVidia_GeForce/nForce_controller17:18
Kottizenoh thanks - will try that!17:19
BluesKajKottizen, I was going to mention yesterday, the .asoundrc file is also required but i got sidetracked by the kernel module mixup.17:23

darthanubiskde 4.8beta aka 4.79?17:57
darthanubisany chance we will get that?17:57
BluesKajmaybe on 12.0417:57
darthanubishow about 4.7.4?17:58
darthanubishttp://dot.kde.org/2011/12/07/stable-update-474-and-testing-release-48-beta2-available17:59
BluesKajdarthanubis, I'm running 12.04  which uses kde 4.7.3 by default18:01
darthanubisBluesKaj: not worried about 4.7.3 as I have that in 11.10. I asked about what the link I dropped is talking about? If not 4.7.8 then 4.7.4 making into 11.10?18:07
BluesKajdarthanubis, dunno , I'm not real concerned18:08
BluesKajdarthanubis, it's up to you to try alpha/beta applications , but I would go to #KDE to find out more18:09
darthanubiswhat are you talking about? Find what from #KDE?18:11
darthanubisI'm asking will 4.7.4 be available in some form of PPA to 11.10 like every other update release?18:11
darthanubisI also am not polling for "concern"18:12
darthanubisIf someone is knowledgable about the topic, then they can advise. If not, or they don't understand the question, then they need not be concerned with my query.18:13
BluesKajthen stop polling , this is not the room for alph/beta application support18:13
darthanubisit was not a poll18:13
darthanubisit was a question18:13
darthanubisnot looking for support18:13
darthanubisyou aer obviously confused18:14

zeppohow can i reenable a internal audio device removed by kde? (i got a message that an internal audio device was removed and if i want to forget this device yes/no. i clicked yes, and i want to undo that)18:28
BluesKajzeppo, did you remove an audio application like plseaudio or some such ?18:30
BluesKajpulseaudio18:30
zeppoBluesKaj: no18:31
zeppocheck this18:31
BluesKajor install new audio hardware ?18:31
zeppoBluesKaj: http://osdir.com/ml/kde-linux/2010-05/msg00000.html18:31
zeppono its a kde bug18:31
zeppoor feature18:31
zeppo(happens on every upgrade)18:31
BluesKajok zeppo , sudo apt-get install-reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils , then reboot , don't click yes if that phonon dialog pops up when you relogin18:35
BluesKajoops zeppo wait ..correction18:35
BluesKajsudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils18:35
zeppoBluesKaj: ok brb18:40
zeppo_BluesKaj: tried it didnt work19:03
zeppo_how can i tell the system to rescan my devices and load device modules on boot?19:04
BluesKajok zeppo_ , you might have to remove pulseaudio . after rebooting you should get that phonon dialog again , then you'll have to install pulseaudio again and reload alsa , sudo alsa force-reload19:07
SnowhogKubuntu 11.10, KDE 4.7.3. Anyone know if/how to prevent Ksplash from scaling the background? I see that there are two binaries: /usr/bin/ksplashx and /usr/bin/ksplahs_scale. Is it as simple as using update_alternatives and creating a symlink to ksplashx?19:10
BluesKajSnowhog, I just use the desktop settings (rightclick on the desktop) , and under positioning = scaled , works fine on my large screen monitor19:19
SnowhogBluesKaj: But that is for the Desktop Wallpaper. I'm talking about the background image that Ksplash uses after you login via KDM. KDM doesn't scale the background, but Ksplash does, and that makes for an uneven transition. This is happening because Ksplash is scaling by default the image it is pointed to.19:21
zeppoBluesKaj: i fixed the phonon problem19:21
zeppoi did:  sudo apt-get purge alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio19:21
zeppoand then19:21
zepposudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop  (which reinstalls the default packages)19:22
zeppoand reboot19:22
zeppoi got the phonon message about devices "removed", and i selected no and dont ask me again19:22
zeppowhich apparently is a bug cause it removed my analog internal audio device which is perfectly working19:23
zeppo(and i got the same at another pc too)19:23
BluesKajok Snowhog , sorry I misread your post, I don't use the pw login ..I'm the only use here at home so I set it to autologin19:25
scott__i need to install windows on my netbook. i've already downloaded the .iso i'd like to install. and i realize i'll lose my kubuntu installation, but i'll partition later. my question is, how do i begin the install from the iso?19:31
holsteinscott__: from the windows iso?19:32
scott__holstein: yes19:33
holsteingrub is all you will lose https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows19:33
scott__mkay....still, how to begin the install?19:33
holsteinscott__: depends19:33
holsteini dont know what iso you have, and i have no idea how you 'download' a windows installation CD19:34
holsteinbut, i would check the documenation... most install CD's come with instructions, and its typically a matter or selecting it from the bios, or a bios key at boot19:34
scott__holstein: i said i have the .iso, not the cd.19:35
scott__i'm on a net book so....no dvd drive19:35
holsteinscott__: i would try a windows support channel19:35
holsteinwhen i have installed windows in the past, i select what i want to boot from the bios, just like with a linux install CD19:36
BluesKajscott__, burn the iso to a cd first then use the cd to installwindows , but be sure to make a ntfs partition for windows with gparted live cd19:36
scott__holstein: again, i point out that i'm on a netbook, which means there isn't a cd tray from which to boot from19:37
holsteinwhen i used to try installing XP from USB stick, it was *not* trivial19:37
BluesKajoops19:37
SnowhogBluesKaj: Found a reasonable and simple solution to the scaling issue with Ksplash.19:38
* BluesKaj reminds himself to stay away from netbooks for dual booying19:38
holsteineither way, i would ask in a windows support channel about the best most current way to install your legally obtained windows version without bruning a CD19:38
BluesKajSnowhog, in grub ?19:38
SnowhogBluesKaj: No. As Ksplash is scaling the background image it is told to use, but KDM is not, I just modified the KDM Theme .xml file (/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/horos/horos.xml) and changed <normal wallpaper="Horos" scalemode="crop" /> to <normal wallpaper="Horos" scalemode="scale"/>19:42

carayasome idea, aor know where is some log files? In Xorg.0.log can found anything wrong :-(22:29
BarkingFishcaraya: if you get your Xorg.0.log file, and open it, could you paste the contents of it to paste.ubuntu.com, so we can take a look?22:34
carayaoh, sorry. Now is it on pastebin22:39
BarkingFishcan you post the link to the pastebin page?22:40
carayahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/766371/22:40
BarkingFishthank you22:41
carayaI thank you :-) for attention :-)22:42
BarkingFishYou seem to have a lot of errors in the log, caraya - including the fact that the module which supports your graphics card is missing.22:44
BarkingFishor at least, it can't be found22:44
carayabut why working inf i write stratx in console?22:44
BarkingFishmaybe when your system starts up the first time, something is being missed.22:46
BarkingFishBut I found this: (EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)22:46
BarkingFishYour xorg configuration seems to be using fbdev to run your display22:46
BarkingFishalso, caraya - are you comfortable using English? We have a channel which operates in Czech if you need one :)22:48

volkerhallo zsammen. Habe soeben kubuntu 11.10 installiert. Wie bekomme ich akonadi weg, ohne das das gesammte kde verschwindet?23:23

Torchvolker: also, current kde versions depend on akonadi23:24
volkerthx, for your answer. So what could i deinstall from this PIM programm? is there a list?23:25
Snowhogvolker: Would you please repost your question - in English?23:29
volkeryes, i do. I've installed kbuntu 11.10 today. now i want to deinstall akonadi. But the paketmanager tell me that in this case, kde-workspace an many other things will be gone.23:31
Torchvolker: why do you want to uninstall akonadi?23:31
Snowhogvolker: Correct. I don't think that you can uninstall akonadi - it is now intregal to KDE.23:32
volkerso - i search the way to deinstall akonadi - PIM...23:32
BarkingFishvolker: A lot of stuff in Kubuntu 11.10 relies on akonadi to work correctly - kmail needs it, for example.23:32
BarkingFishIf you uninstall it, you lose most of KDE. Simple.23:32
volkeri don't need kmail.23:32
Snowhogvolker: If you don't want to use Kontact/Kmail, you don't have to.23:33
Torchvolker: plasma depends on akonadi for the calendar widget, so you simply cannot uninstall akonadi as long as you want a KDE desktop23:33
Snowhogvolker: You can safely uninstall kontact and kmail if you don't want them.23:33
volkerok, i understand. [but i don't agree ;-( ]  I only want KDE Desktop (no widget's) if i want more then i'll install that. But thanks a lot, i try it - file by file.23:36
