| jschall | is there a qt version of pavucontrol or a qt alternative for it? or even just a better config gui for pulseaudio (prefereably for kde)? | 01:01 |
| amason | jschall: usually you can just use the phonon configuation in system settings | 01:06 |
| jschall | amason: yeah, i'm trying to do some crazy pulseaudio stuff like null and combine sinks | 01:07 |
| amason | no, pauvcontrol is probably what you need | 01:07 |
| amason | there isn't much point in creating a qt / kde specific version of that | 01:08 |
| jschall | amason: the config tool in the system settings should be more powerful | 01:08 |
| jschall | amason: of course, pavucontrol doesn't even do what i want, i have to use pacmd | 01:08 |
| amason | well i don't see anything wrong in making it more powerful but i don't know that many people have the desire to do it or are currently working on it | 01:09 |
| jschall | amason: but an easy gui for using some of the more powerful features of pulse would be neat | 01:09 |
| amason | yeh no doubt, i'm just saying that i don't think anyone is working on it | 01:10 |
| === francisco is now known as Guest86917 | ||
| amason | since there are already tools available to do that. generally the focus is on adding functionality that doesn't exist | 01:11 |
| jschall | amason: hmm. i might try to do something but i'd need to figure out the "correct" way to interface to pulse | 01:11 |
| amason | well via phonon is probably your best bet | 01:12 |
| jschall | amason: i've wanted to try to learn qt | 01:12 |
| amason | the existing configuration tool already interfaces to that | 01:12 |
| amason | so it should give you a good starting poinnt | 01:12 |
| jschall | amason: yeah, i mean the phonon config shows all the pulse sinks and sources | 01:13 |
| jschall | amason: even the ones i added | 01:13 |
| jschall | amason: so it just needs to provide a method for creation and deletion of modules like null-sinks | 01:14 |
| amason | cool, well the kde community always welcomes new contributors so i'm sure if you get intouch with the maintainer of that package she/ he will help you add the functionality you want in a way which can be upstreamed | 01:15 |
| jschall | amason: do you know a lot about pulse and alsa? | 01:15 |
| amason | not a whole lot. for my uses it's always just worked thankfully | 01:16 |
| jschall | amason: yeah | 01:16 |
| jschall | amason: i guess the first thing to do to make a meaningful change would be to come up with a gui design for it | 01:17 |
| amason | jschall: the ui file is openable in qt creator | 01:26 |
| jschall | amason: do you know why every once in a while, kde asks me if i've permanently removed audio devices? | 01:26 |
| amason | no, i've wondered about that a few times myself but it's never bothered me enough to go looking for it | 01:27 |

| Stronze | okay, i restored sound to laptop, anyone help me get sound thru hdmi? | 02:22 |
| frewo | Stronze: with aplay -l you see the devices, with speakertest x,y you can test which one it is. write the x,y-device in /etc/pulse/default... | 02:31 |
| frewo | then reboot | 02:32 |
| Stronze | frewo, speakertest x,y??? | 02:33 |
| frewo | speakertest 0,3 for example. you see the devices with aplay -l | 02:33 |
| frewo | you will hear a sound with the right device | 02:34 |
| frewo | that description is for pulseaudio | 02:35 |
| Stronze | its speaker-test. sudo yelled at me | 02:35 |
| Stronze | i tried 0,3 just to test it and its repeating over and over | 02:36 |
| frewo | if you hear nothing then test the next one | 02:36 |
| Stronze | Time per period = 12.945083 | 02:36 |
| Stronze | 0 - Front Left | 02:36 |
| Stronze | all its doing and it wont stop | 02:36 |
| frewo | strg + c | 02:36 |
| Stronze | strg? | 02:37 |
| frewo | ctrl | 02:37 |
| Stronze | card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog] | 02:38 |
| Stronze | Subdevices: 1/1 | 02:38 |
| Stronze | Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 | 02:38 |
| Stronze | the other 3 are the same except the other two have this | 02:39 |
| Stronze | card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC268 Digital [ALC268 Digital] | 02:39 |
| frewo | i have 0,5 0,7 and 0,9 on my machines, all with nvidia | 02:40 |
| frewo | then try speakertest 1,x x for the number | 02:42 |
| Stronze | bah gui crashed | 02:42 |
| frewo | device 1 is digital | 02:42 |
| frewo | gui? | 02:42 |
| Stronze | im using kubuntu gui | 02:42 |
| frewo | try in konsole and later in kde | 02:43 |
| Stronze | speaker-test -,1 - 0,3 all came from laptop | 02:43 |
| Stronze | any other ideas frewo? | 02:45 |
| frewo | yes. but find out thr right one with speakertest | 02:46 |
| frewo | you need to knoe the device | 02:46 |
| frewo | know | 02:47 |
| Stronze | i only have 3 devices listed | 02:47 |
| frewo | please paste the output of aplay -l on pastebin or anywhere | 02:48 |
| frewo | Stronze: and disable onboard-sound in bios | 02:50 |
| Stronze | http://pastebin.com/wPj37EyV | 02:50 |
| peter__ | is there a VM available to run windows Op Sys? | 02:52 |
| frewo | Stronze: please try speakertest 0,1 0,3 1,1 and 1,3 | 02:52 |
| Stronze | each seprate? | 02:53 |
| frewo | Stronze: yes. | 02:53 |
| frewo | and disable onboard-sound in bios. do you use pulseaudio? | 02:53 |
| Stronze | um yes? | 02:54 |
| Stronze | id have to reboot to access bios :/ | 02:54 |
| Stronze | and all was same. 0 - front left. all from laptop | 02:54 |
| Stronze | btw i have superman returns playing on the tv via hdmi | 02:55 |
| frewo | Stronze: i think pulseaudio is default. if you know the device, you can also test alsa | 02:55 |
| Stronze | bakerfish was working with me and he had me do all kinds of things. ended up with no sound so i had to remove pulse and alsa and reinstall | 02:55 |
| frewo | puhh | 02:56 |
| frewo | if you use alsa you need a .asoundrc or asoundconf in your /home | 02:58 |
| frewo | but you have to write the real device in there | 02:58 |
| frewo | is your device unmuted in alsamixer? | 02:59 |
| frewo | with m you can enable it | 02:59 |
| Stronze | slow down sparky, lets take this to the barney level | 03:00 |
| frewo | Stronze: but pulseaudio is the default for kubuntu | 03:02 |
| Stronze | kubuntu gui over ubuntu | 03:02 |
| Stronze | im the kinda person you drives their linux to the mechanic and prays they make it allll better | 03:02 |
| Stronze | eeer not you,meant that | 03:03 |
| frewo | with aplay -l and speakertest it should be easy. | 03:03 |
| grade | hi guys! would like to ask why does my usb drive connect automatically? im using a 11.10 and I already configured it to removable dev. | 03:03 |
| frewo | need to reboot | 03:04 |
| Stronze | wb | 03:07 |
| Stronze | i di these commands to restore sound to my laptop sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install alsa-base sudo apt-get install pulseaudio | 03:08 |
| frewo | Stronze: ah, i remember when i did it last time with kubuntu. the device was in use, so i couldnt here anything. i had to edit the /etc/pulse/default.. with a "blind" try and reboot | 03:08 |
| Stronze | you had to get your hdmi working without hearing it make sound? | 03:10 |
| grade | sadf | 03:10 |
| frewo | Stronze: yes, last time. but i was quite sure it was 0,7, and so it was | 03:13 |
| frewo | Stronze: so you can try it 4 times, reboot after each one. :) | 03:14 |
| grade | asdf | 03:14 |
| grade | hi stronze! would like to ask on how can i automatically connect my usb dev upon insert on a usb port? | 03:15 |
| Stronze | dont look at me, im a transplant from windows | 03:16 |
| Stronze | frewo - i opened phonon and i can see internal ausio digital stereo (HDMI) but its greyed out | 03:17 |
| Stronze | audio | 03:17 |
| frewo | grade: edit /etc/fstab with the uuid of the device. you find it with: ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid if its mounted | 03:17 |
| frewo | Stronze: yes, because the wrong device is in /etc/pulse/default.. and you have to reboot after every change. later you can try it in kde systemsettings | 03:19 |
| grade | frewo: I can mount it manually using mount command. but it cant mount automatically upon insert | 03:20 |
| frewo | grade: yes, write it in /etc/fstab | 03:20 |
| grade | frewo: i see thanks frewo ill try it. | 03:20 |
| frewo | like UUID=xxxxxx /mountpoint filesystem defaults 0 0 | 03:21 |
| Stronze | frewo would it be gedit /etc/pulse/default in terminal? | 03:21 |
| frewo | sudo .... | 03:21 |
| Stronze | ofcourse sudo lol, im still learning terminal commands | 03:21 |
| Stronze | frewo - /etc/pulse/default is an empty file | 03:22 |
| Stronze | cd | 03:22 |
| frewo | Stronze: it should not be empty | 03:23 |
| robin0800 | Stronze: it should be kdesudo for graphical programs | 03:23 |
| Stronze | still blank | 03:25 |
| frewo | Stronze: /etc/pulse/default.pa is the name | 03:25 |
| frewo | i always use mc for editing | 03:26 |
| frewo | with internal editor in configuration | 03:26 |
| Stronze | mc? | 03:26 |
| grade | frewo: i already configure fstab. but it cant mount automatically my usb drive. I still have to do mount command? | 03:27 |
| frewo | midnight-commander | 03:27 |
| frewo | grade: no | 03:27 |
| grade | frewo: what is it? | 03:27 |
| frewo | grade: is your mountpoint writeable for the user? did you: sudo mount -a or reboot? | 03:28 |
| frewo | after editing /etc/fstab | 03:28 |
| grade | frewo: I have to use sudo mount <mount point> | 03:28 |
| frewo | can you paste on pastebin your /etc/fstab? | 03:29 |
| grade | frewo: for a while | 03:29 |
| grade | frewo: what is pastebin | 03:30 |
| Stronze | google + pastebin | 03:30 |
| frewo | its 4.30 am here. need to sleep 1,5 hour to bring my bou to the kindergarden | 03:30 |
| frewo | boy | 03:30 |
| Stronze | night frewo | 03:30 |
| Stronze | you always ahve the duct tape and closet option tho | 03:31 |
| frewo | Stronze: you will find the device | 03:31 |
| frewo | n8 | 03:31 |

| baxeico | is kde sc 4.7.4 available yet in kubuntu-ppa? | 09:19 |
| baxeico | (hi guys) | 09:19 |
| qbit | yup - running it since yesterday morning | 09:20 |
| baxeico | qbit: thanks. I'm still with natty | 09:20 |
| baxeico | worried by kmail2 in ovelot | 09:20 |
| baxeico | ocelot | 09:20 |
| qbit | yeah - I'm on 11.10 | 09:21 |
| baxeico | but maybe now kmail2 is stable enough to upgrade | 09:21 |
| qbit | mine is a fresh install with no attempt at runnung the so-called 'migration' utility | 09:21 |
| baxeico | i mean kmail2 shipped with 4.7.4 upgrades | 09:21 |
| baxeico | i think I will backup my emails | 09:21 |
| baxeico | then import emails manually | 09:22 |
| qbit | the migration for kmail1 to kmail 2 just does not fully function | 09:22 |
| baxeico | and recreate accounts by hand | 09:22 |
| qbit | I only have a couple of pop3 - everything else is imap | 09:22 |
| baxeico | do you use online imap or disconnected imap? | 09:23 |
| qbit | not absolutely certain | 09:23 |
| qbit | I don't think there is a distinction any more - it is just "imap" now | 09:25 |
| baxeico | qbit: ok, I used "disconnected imap" till now | 09:26 |
| baxeico | just to be able to read all my imap emails when disconnected | 09:26 |
| qbit | akonadi/nepomuk will actually stay connected or poll your accounts in the background even with kmail not running (I think) | 09:26 |
| panda84kde | yeah, it's "IMAP", but then you get a checkbox to "download messages locally" | 09:26 |
| panda84kde | or something like that | 09:26 |
| qbit | unless you specifically turn it off, e.g. set it to 'go offline' when kmail exits | 09:27 |
| baxeico | and regarding pop3 accounts, you didn't have old emails when you upgraded? | 09:27 |
| qbit | you can set folder subscriptions with imap, and local folders can hold cached copies | 09:28 |
| qbit | nope - the 2 pop3 I have are for transient stuff I don't keep | 09:28 |
| baxeico | ok | 09:28 |
| baxeico | thank you very much | 09:28 |
| qbit | my belief is kmail2 is best set up up from scratch - it's what I did and it is working well for me | 09:30 |

| captlutra | can you dd a kubuntu cd? | 20:02 |
| EvilResistance | captlutra: the livecd images i dont think can be written to discs with dd | 20:03 |
| EvilResistance | captlutra: if you want to put the ISO onto a USB drive, there's a startup disk creator or something that can be used (its GNOME though) | 20:03 |
| EvilResistance | on a CD, use whatever burning software comes preinstalled | 20:03 |
| EvilResistance | s/on/to/ | 20:03 |
| captlutra | ok | 20:03 |
| captlutra | EvilResistance: do you know how can i write a .iso to a usb if i am on another linux distro? | 20:05 |
| captlutra | i suppose unetbootin ... but it's horrible in my opinion | 20:05 |
| EvilResistance | captlutra: the Ubuntu (and derivative) ISOs need a USB Startup Disk Creator, or UNetBootin | 20:06 |
| EvilResistance | there might be other systems, but i'm unaware of how | 20:06 |
| EvilResistance | check the installation guides, | 20:06 |
| EvilResistance | it might have something in there for you | 20:06 |

| sgrover | Finally installed 11.10 on my desktop. After a while, the mouse freaks out and begins sending scroll and right -click signals constantly. I can still move the mouse, but can't really use it to do anything (due to the scrolls and right-clicks). Any suggestions? | 22:00 |
| sgrover | Google wasn't much help. | 22:00 |

| fk6 | Hey, can somebody help me with an installer issue with Alternate 32bit installation CD/USB for 11.10? | 23:24 |
| fk6 | Tried a couple of times and I always get a red error screen during package installation, go to console, and there it says Some packages could not be installed....the following packages have unmet dependencies xserver-xorg-video-all: depends: xerver-xorg-video-ati, but it is not installable | 23:26 |
| fk6 | and then it aborts. | 23:26 |
| fk6 | this is a clean install and I had it previously running by upgrading from earlier ubuntu versions... | 23:27 |
| fk6 | Are there known issues/workarounds for the alternate installer? | 23:27 |
| fk6 | ping, anybody here??? | 23:27 |
| robin0800 | fk6: this is a release disk? | 23:28 |
| fk6 | yup, just downloaded via the torrent specified on the kubuntu webpage | 23:29 |
| fk6 | then burned via linuxlive, which also checked the crc | 23:29 |
| fk6 | and its really standard, besides the encrypted root with lvm, but that shouldn't influence the package repository | 23:30 |
| fk6 | i cannot be the first that runs into this :) | 23:30 |
| fk6 | or is this maybe a new install disk? thought 11.10 is out for a couple of weeks... | 23:31 |
| amason | fk6 have you tried it with the usb cd creator in ubunut ? | 23:32 |
| amason | because i know that does a bunch of funky stuff to get around those issues | 23:32 |
| fk6 | as you dced, is this maybe a new install disk? or the one from a couple of weeks ago? | 23:32 |
| fk6 | it just misses that one package, all the rest seems to work | 23:33 |
| fk6 | it boots fine, it installs the base system fine, just that one ati driver...i mean how can the usb creator screw up the logic of the installer? | 23:34 |
| fk6 | currently do not have a linux at hand unfortunately, i wiped my linux system | 23:34 |
| fk6 | this is the recommended usb creator on the kubuntu page... | 23:34 |
| fk6 | and it says for isntance that xserver-comon is already the newest version etc... | 23:35 |
| amason | no idea sorry, i just know that you can't use regular cd->usb utils to make ubuntu cd's currently | 23:35 |
| amason | ubuntu usb's rather | 23:35 |
| amason | this is changing | 23:35 |
| amason | but it's not currently the case iirc | 23:35 |
| fk6 | but the info on the webpage is accurate? | 23:36 |
| fk6 | i followed the info on their download page | 23:36 |
| amason | link ? | 23:36 |
| robin0800 | fk6: download the iso and burn it to a cd | 23:36 |
| fk6 | http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download | 23:37 |
| fk6 | well, that's what i wanted to try next, but i only have one |CDR left, so i wanted to make sure the installer isn't screwed, otherwise i am fucked.... | 23:37 |
| amason | yeh that it correct. they link to a page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 23:38 |
| amason | which shows you how to do it if you want to | 23:38 |
| fk6 | followed that to the letter | 23:38 |
| fk6 | booted fine | 23:38 |
| amason | dunno then sorry | 23:38 |
| fk6 | amason: thx | 23:38 |
| amason | i've always just used the usb cdcreator and it's worked | 23:38 |
| OerHeks | check your iso with md5sum | 23:39 |
| amason | he got it from BT | 23:39 |
| amason | so it should be correct | 23:39 |
| fk6 | and the usbcreator checks it before burning | 23:39 |
| amason | apparently unetbootin will work too | 23:39 |
| amason | there is a usb-creator.exe too | 23:40 |
| amason | http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download | 23:40 |
| OerHeks | when you start the install, did you manage to enable networking ? | 23:40 |
| amason | ah that's what you used was it ? | 23:40 |
| amason | that should work | 23:40 |
| fk6 | yes | 23:40 |
| fk6 | linuxliveusbcreator | 23:40 |
| amason | yeh dunno then sorry | 23:40 |
| fk6 | specifically for like linux distros, looks nicer than the kde version ;) | 23:40 |
| fk6 | but anybody know whether the current alternate CD works at all? | 23:41 |
| fk6 | i guess most ppl use the normal installer | 23:41 |
| amason | i use the alternate cd all the time | 23:41 |
| amason | i've never had an issue | 23:41 |
| fk6 | alright thx | 23:41 |
| fk6 | also the one for 11.10 | 23:41 |
| robin0800 | fk6: don't think any cd burning system can check the md5sum how would they know it? | 23:41 |
| fk6 | takes like 30secs, when you load the image it says crc checking | 23:42 |
| amason | crc is different to md5 | 23:43 |
| amason | but for this case crc is fine | 23:44 |
| amason | crc wouldn't be able to tell you if the image had been altered prior to downloading | 23:44 |
| fk6 | i checked it with winmd5 | 23:44 |
| amason | but that's unlikely to be your problem in this instance | 23:44 |
| fk6 | it is correct | 23:44 |
| fk6 | would have been strange if bittorrent screwed up | 23:45 |
| fk6 | i'll try it with a cdrom and report back.... | 23:45 |
| OerHeks | it happened before, torrent, jigdo or ftp download corrupt. | 23:45 |
| Firefishe | Every time I log in, I have a nautilus window that opens up. I find this weird in kde, so I want to eliminate the problem. I've tried every conceivable configuation option check, but I can not find the cause. | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | Firefishe, nautilus is a gnome application. what folder opens in nautilus ? dropbox, ubuntu-one or something like that ? | 23:49 |
| Firefishe | OerHeks: I'm aware of it being a gnome app. What do you mean in the 2nd part of your sentence? "...what folder opens in nautilus ? dropbox, ubuntu-one, or..." ?? I'm a bit confused on the last part. | 23:51 |
| Firefishe | OerHeks: Oh, wait. | 23:51 |
| robin0800 | Firefishe: you have probably got save session on exit selected | 23:51 |
| Firefishe | robin0800: Well, in that case, if I close the nautilus window, then log out, then back in, it shouldn't open it if it's saving a session. The thing is, I do this in everything from gnome, kde, lxde, etc., and it's still there after months. How do I disable save session on exit? | 23:52 |
| Firefishe | robin0800, OerHeks: Apparently, this doesn't apply if I log in to gnome from kde for a parallel session. Just tried that. | 23:55 |
| Firefishe | robin0800, OerHeks: I'll log out then back in and see what folder opens up. I didn't pay attention the first time. Brb. | 23:56 |
| eydaimon | is there a way to upgrade an installation that was done via wubi? I don't see the upgrade app in the settings menu | 23:56 |
