[00:06] hi, I am trying to get dual monitors to work in kubuntu 11.10. I have an nvidia based video card, and within nvidia-settings, I see both of my monitors listed under GPU 0 [00:07] I am not sure what to do from here, but under X Server Display Configuration section in nvidia-settings, I get Unable to load X server Display Configuration page: Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0 [00:28] Since screwing around with Kubuntu trying to make it look good and more Ubuntu Unity like, I've come to the conclusion: fsck this [00:29] lightdm now prevents me from rebooting and powering off the system from within KDE [00:29] I can't reboot or shutdown from within in Lightdm [00:29] I am trying to install Kubuntu on my Dad's messed up windows machine without deleting the windows installing or changing any of the partitions. I went to manual set up, and on the partition with windows (using the entire disk), I chose for it to use it, without formatting the partition, and make it an ntfs file system (the same file system already being used by the windows). I make the mount point /windows instead of /dos. [00:29] Should I make the mount point /dos? Will this mess up the windows install, or erase anything if I go ahead and click install now? [00:29] This is pathetic [00:29] I feel like I should just install Ubuntu and be happy, but I know QT/KDE is the way to go [00:30] My system is looking nice [00:30] Very much a Ubuntu/KDE theme that mixes nicely [00:30] But it takes forever to boot [00:31] and I can't shut the thing down outside of the command line [00:32] And for some reason at installation I thought it would be fun to use some crazy 20 character password using crazy keys that nobody ever uses, typing that over and over is starting to get to me as well :) [00:34] hey, I have a computer here with 2 messed up copies of windows co-existing on it, on one partition. I want to install Kubuntu to the SAME partition without deleting the 2 copies of windows on the same partition. I have selected for it to not format the partition, and mount at /dos.. will this work without erasing anything? [00:41] Hi, I'm running the most recent Kubuntu version on virtualbox as a guest. I wanted to install all the updates, and now it's stuck at 56% for a while on the dpkg step. There are 310 to install/upgrade and 206.4 mb of space to be used. [00:42] Is this normal, or do I need to do something...I think it's been at 56% for at least twenty minutes. [00:50] I want to install kubuntu on a partition with mount points /dos /window and /windows without formatting it and without deleting windows, is this possible of I set the mount point of the intallation to /dos and select to not format the drive? [00:51] Love KDE always, but I'm heading back to Ubuntu so I can get some work done, but don't worry, I'll be back in the summer working on a KDE project [00:51] bye now [01:03] Can anyone help answer my question please? [01:04] Oh cool, the plasma mobile stuff magically appeared in muon... [01:07] Viktorious: you need to be patient dude [01:08] repeating your question every so often (say, if in 30 minutes nobody's addressed your question) might help [01:15] Viktorious: you can break the installation and continue it later with no problem [01:15] try it again [01:15] Okay [01:16] maybe an internet connection problem [01:16] maybe updates server problem [01:16] So, it's all right if I stop the dpkg process? [01:16] i think so [01:16] i would do it [01:16] Because it says it's dpkg which is talking up the time. A site told me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a, but I couldn't because the update process was using dpkg... [01:16] and you are at vbox, no worries [01:16] can start again if you want [01:16] yes [01:17] need to break it first [01:18] Question: I've very recently noticed that port 68 on my Kubuntu 11.04 is active. From what I've researched, it's DHCP. Which leads to my question; is DHCP (port 68) set to active by default in Kubuntu 11.04? Footnote: I never noticed it in my GUFW settings until I installed gnome-network-admin package yesterday. [01:21] Linuxephus: i dont know about default open ports, sorry [01:24] Kwashiorkor: No worries. I'll gladly wait for one who does. I understand the concept of what I researched. I just need a more experienced user to help my apply what I researched so to speak. [01:26] Kwashiorkor: Port 68 is used by the DHCP client while port 67 is used by the DHCP server. You are using a router, yes? [01:28] Yes, I am using the router in question. I just didn't know if the port 68 DHCP was a necessary function as I'd swear I've never seen it before when checking my firewall settings via GUFW. [01:28] Linuxephus: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_number#Examples [01:31] Snowhog: In other words, it's active in Linux by default. And if i were to kill it off, I'm going to have serious connection problems. Would that assumption be correct? [01:31] Linuxephus: I'd say "yes". [01:33] Snowhog: Which leaves another question: the context of what I've read concerning DHCP indicates it could be deactivated with-out problems. So what am I failing to understand should I be wrong? [01:34] Snowhog: i'm not having any needings about these ports, was just saying "hello" to Linuxephus ;) [01:37] Kwashiorkor: Then I humbly return the "hello" with a "greetings" of mine own. [01:37] ;-) === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance [01:47] After re-reading said link in detail...my conclusion, as stated by you, is that it is a necessity, active (stealthed in my case) by default, regardless of any other means of internet connectivity. Correct me if I'm wrong. And my thanks for the link as well as putting 1+1=2 for me. I seem to find and learn something new everyday with Linux.

[09:35] There's no easy way to do it, though you may be able to tell based on the package it's in. [09:35] What plasmoid are you referring to? [09:55] lengau, veromix [09:57] gribouille: The only image file in that package is /usr/share/icons/veromix-plasmoid.png [09:58] What image is missing, and what versions of veromix and KDE are you using? === JackyAlcine is now known as jalcine [10:01] lengau, the versiojn of plasma-widget-veromix is 0.13.0-1ubuntu1; the version of kde is 4.7.4; the missing icon is the one for the flash player (like this one: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/flash.png) [10:09] gribouille: Hmm... I couldn't reproduce (though I'm trying the beta of KDE 4.8...). Do you have the file /usr/share/app-install/icons/flash.png? [10:09] lengau, yes [10:10] gribouille are you on a 32-bit or 64-bit system? [10:11] lengau, 32 bit [10:12] Do you have the KDE Flash settings package (adobe-flash-properties-kde)? That seems like the most likely place for KDE to get a Flash logo. [10:13] lengau, when I open the veromix window and click on the icon for the flash player (the icon is a blank document, not the right one), it mutes the flash player and the right icon is displayed. when I click again, the player is unmuted and the wrong icon is displayed again [10:14] Ah, so it does see the icon, just not all the time... [10:14] The only thing I can think then, gribouille, is that it's a bug in veromix and should probably be reported. [10:16] Sorry :-( [10:16] lengau, this bug didn't exist on maverick. it happened when I switched to oneiric, without changing the version ov veromix [10:16] Are you not using veromix from the repos? [10:17] Oh, wait. Stupid question. [10:17] lengau, at first I installed it manually. I installed it from the repos, hoping it would solve the problem [10:18] gribouille, try purging and re-installing the package? [10:18] Ok. [10:19] Have you tried clearing your veromix settings? (~/.kde/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/veromix-plasmoid/) [10:19] hi all. does anyone can give me the knode installation command? [10:19] lengau, ~/.kde/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/veromix-plasmoid/ is empty [10:20] akis, sudo apt-get install knode [10:22] ok. thank. i installed it. [10:23] gribouille, then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Sorry. I don't imagine plasma-desktop-appletsrc would contain anything useful, so I don't know where else to look. [10:24] lengau, what is plasma-desktop-appletsrc? [10:32] gribouille It contains some settings for various plasma widgets. Doesn't seem to have anything useful for Veromix though. [10:32] Anyway, bed time for me now. It's far too late over here.

[21:35] it would help to have it installed AFAIK [21:37] babalu: but for example "apt-cache policy kubuntu-desktop" should say if it's installed [21:37] Tm_T: trying to install it, but getting an error E: faulty package [21:38] Tm_T: this command returns that it's installed: http://pastebin.com/gpxzNmPi === grxmrx_ is now known as grxmrx [21:44] babalu: good (: [21:50] /server irc.cyber-gate.net [21:51] EvilResistance: Tm_T: it's upgrading now :) [21:51] babalu: good, good luck (:
