[00:00] * crack05 is away (Gone) === crack05 is now known as CRACK05 [00:14] kudos to the packaging guys that KDE 4.8 RC2 was available in the repos on the release day :) thumbs up === michael is now known as Guest44446 [01:08] ? [01:25] yo, how do i axe totem in firefox and replace it with something that works? [01:38] never mind, turns out it's gecko mediaplayer i want, kind of. sigh. [03:40] hey guys i find oxygen little ugly as the default, but i can't find kde themes as for gnome, any help? === b_ is now known as Guest25004 [04:06] try kde look ? [05:16] Ok, Libreoffice's tooltips were black on black, so I changed the settings in kde's settings. this fixed it for LO, but it changed ALL tooltips in ALL apps. Can someone go in to settings and tell me what the default colors for tool tips are? [05:22] mr-rich, could you point me to the proper KDE changes to get rid of the black boxes? Thanks! [05:23] blake: I can, but I'm trying to undo that change now ... it needs to be fixed in LO ... [05:24] Hmm, OK but maybe there is a kde setting which is a fair compromise. [05:25] blake: it is in system settings -> Application Appearence -> Colors -> Colors tab ... [05:25] do me a favor ... [05:25] before you change anything ... [05:26] tell me the color codes for the original settings ... [05:26] please [05:28] blake: did you find the settings? [05:29] just got back to it. give me a sec. [05:29] Ok here goes: [05:29] window background: grey [05:30] Window text: black [05:30] Button background: grey [05:30] blake: for tool tips ... [05:30] Button text: black [05:30] down the list ... [05:30] Oh thanks (lots to type: [05:31] I need the color codes ... a 6 hex digit code ... [05:31] tooltip text: 231/253/255 [05:31] cool ... [05:31] and the background? [05:31] tooltip background 24/21/19 [05:32] blake: you get a gold star on your Geek Card ... :) [05:32] thank you [05:33] ;) [05:33] and those are red/green/blue ... correct? [05:33] yes [05:34] is there anything in hue/sat/value settings? [05:36] blake: is there anything in hue/sat/value settings? [05:36] HSV is just an alternative way to set colors. you only need to set one. [05:37] k .. got it ... [06:09] !netsplit [06:09] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === sourabh_ is now known as HackNewton [07:31] Hi, does anybody know why when booting from USB, a regular Desktop-iso won't work for my mini9, but the alternate-install does... Knoppix does, but Linux-Mint does not. I think it has something to do with half mini pciexpress ssd [07:44] mooorning ;() [07:44] :) [07:44] first week of 2012.. so... we can still: HAPPY NEW YEAR kubuntu fans, freaks, gurus, community ;) [07:45] ad stil a problem in ktimetracker: http://paste.ubuntu.com/794618/ [07:45] any hint? [07:52] 2009.05.20 [17:22] I have issues with kubuntu 9.04 Mamarok [07:52] 2009.05.20 [17:22] mohaa: what issues? [07:53] hello, world (-: [07:53] Mamarok_san i'm still having the same issue i had 2 years ago [07:53] mohaa: what problem? [07:54] wireless [07:54] it works on liveCD [07:54] but once i installed kubuntu, the hardware is listed in networkmanager but is "unvailable" [07:55] (kubuntu 10.11) [07:55] why not using 11.10? [07:55] latest? [07:55] my bad [07:55] what about trying installing wicd? [07:55] (kubuntu 11.10) [07:55] connect wire, sudo apt-get install wicd and try wlan again [07:55] i prefer wicd [07:56] noaXess installing wicd without network ? [07:56] mohaa: no lan connection? [07:56] i use wicd actually on my other machines but here... [07:57] no lan connection, no [07:57] grr.. bad [07:57] hm.. [07:57] mohaa: have you tried configuring network manually? [07:57] btw what is that "enable wireless" button i can't clik on ? [07:57] mohaa: what does ifconfig say? [07:58] ifconfig ups the hardware [07:58] but it still "unvailable" in NM [07:58] :-/ [07:58] mohaa: you know iwconfig tools? [07:59] yes [07:59] mohaa_: from konsole run "sudo rfkill list" [07:59] scanning is ok with iwlist [07:59] have you trie manually connect wifi with iwconfig tools [07:59] but nothing really shows in NM [07:59] it's freaky ! [08:00] mohaa_: I get this regularly.. try my tips. [08:00] have you trie manually connect wifi with iwconfig tools <<< unlikely. I'd use some other distro for this [08:00] mohaa: try osinclair command [08:00] then look for "blocked" and do "sudo rfkill enable 0/1" or whatever is blocked [08:01] sorry should be "sudo rfkill unblock" [08:02] thanks i try that [08:10] hi - my skype does not seem to be picking up my voice on my netbook's built in mic. my pulseaudio volume meter seems to pick up my voice, and skype is set to use pulseaudio. what app that supports PA can I use to try do a sound recording? [lucid] [08:13] kroonrs, you can unmute your input channel and pay attention if you hear any echoes [08:13] lethu: my input channel is not muted [08:13] kroonrs, otherwise applications for recording PA sound are pretty rare [08:13] lethu: and no echoes [08:14] wtf ??????? [08:14] it's blocked/unblocked on whim [08:14] every damn 5 seconds [08:14] kroonrs, I know an app you can test your mic with tho [08:14] lethu: yeah? [08:14] kroonrs, teamspeak [08:15] lethu: i expect that will have the same problems as skype? [08:15] kroonrs, nope [08:15] lethu: should i install the client or the server? [08:16] lethu: presumably the client, but do i need the server as well? [08:16] kroonrs, I was in the same situation as you, and after a long research on the web for a solution, I decided to settle down with a Sip client (qutecom) and forget about skype [08:16] kroonrs, the client [08:16] kroonrs, you don't need the server no [08:17] kroonrs, besides, skype has been bought by Microsoft, so you can expect no further support for the linux version [08:18] if this crap is "user friendly" why doesn't wireless work as on the liveCD [08:18] ?? [08:18] this is a shame [08:18] hardware is blocked just like that, wtf ?? [08:19] lethu: ok, it seems as if teamspeak's recording also doesn't pick up the mic [08:22] kroonrs, have you tried checking if your input (mic) is muted under alsamixer? [08:23] how do i enable wireless from network manager ? [08:23] the button is there, but i can not click to enable wireless [08:24] mohaa, are you on a desktop pc or laptop? [08:24] laptop [08:25] mohaa, do you know your wireless adapter's brand? [08:25] intel3945 [08:25] classic [08:26] and another usb chip (works with rtl8187 under linux) [08:26] mohaa, go into the applications menu then system, then additional drivers [08:27] mohaa, and check if there are any wireless drivers installable there [08:29] lethu the drivers are up [08:29] mohaa, wireless still doesn't work? [08:30] but the hardware is not configured well :-/ [08:31] Silly question, just installed Kubuntu 11.10 and when using Quassel it defaults to using the Message Indicator... but how do I get it not to close but minimize to tray without enabling the system tray and ending up with two different quassel icons? [08:32] http://imagebin.org/192067 osinclair, your tips did not change the situation [08:33] lethu: it's not muted, it's on max, and both mic boosts are on maximum [08:36] lethu: the pulseaudio volume meter (recording) behaves kind of strangely - when there's just ambient noise, it regularly spikes, and then decays, spike, decay, etc. doesn't decay to near zero before spikes, either [08:38] kroonrs, something must not be set correctly, I am out of ideas as to what that should be [08:38] kroonrs, maybe try changing the priority of the sound devices if there are more than one [08:39] lethu: just the internal card - have usb earphones - tried plugging them in and the machine just hard-powered-down [08:39] kroonrs, I have an additional HDMI sound device, I had to change the order (make it the last to use) in order to get things to work [08:40] kroonrs, have you checked the logs? [08:41] kroonrs, after the system crash there is usually a part of the log which can give you hints on what's gone wrong [08:41] kroonrs, the logs are usually found in /var/log/ [08:42] lethu: still trying to boot, but it wasn't a linux thing, since it happened when I plugged them in at the grub menu as well [08:42] also, try the "dmesg" command in console and watch for any line saying something about the audio [08:42] kroonrs, I see, then it's probably a hardware issue [08:42] mohaa_: then I am lost, that has always helped me. Can you post outcome of "sudo rfkill list"? [08:43] kroonrs, had that happen to me as well with a netbook [08:43] lethu: happens to me on my laptop with my external hdd on my one usb port as well [08:43] kroonrs, must be hardware then [08:44] kroonrs, perhaps something wrong with the port or the bios [08:44] kroonrs, you may try updating the bios [08:44] lethu: nothing in logs about the crash [08:45] osinclair i rebooted and the usb chip works works [08:45] it's a dual-boot, guess I'll try the mic on windows qk, since the machine's crashed anyhow [08:45] kroonrs, check dmesg's output after boot [08:45] mohaa_: sounds like good news to me? [08:47] osinclair it's 1/2 of the times [08:47] this can be a problem [08:48] because my gf doesn't have such patience [08:48] she may crash the laptop XD [08:52] hi [08:52] somebody has knowledge in dbus? [08:52] qdbus [08:52] !somebody [08:52] A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [08:53] mohaa_: why 9.04 and not more recent? [08:53] 9.04 no more support [08:54] mohaa_: 9.10 the best I had I think, kids still use it [08:54] osinclair 9.04 it was the same issue i'm having now on 11.10 ;) [08:54] OK now I get it [08:54] yep [08:54] the paste was from my last log in here [08:54] in 2009 XD [08:54] my problem is the kde-system always stops responding for ~15 sec. [08:54] different version, same trouble [08:54] my w/l goes "rfkill" if I use h/w switch and forget to switch back on b/f reboot [08:55] after i stop dbus the system is working but i get a few new problems then. [08:55] drivers, bad h/w, who knows [08:55] mohaa_: have learnt to live with it but never reboot w w/l off [08:55] rici: NO WAIT ... kde version , kubuntu version [08:55] rici: you get a freeze of kde ? [08:56] kbuntu 11.10 [08:56] rici: you can enable the text login via CRLT ALT F1 ? [08:56] yes, after 15 sec kde is working fine until the next stop. [08:57] mmm [08:57] looks like a video issue [08:57] rici: nvidia? [08:57] if it's related to dbus, it's probalbly plasma is waiting for something to happen and eventually times out [08:57] yes [08:57] rici: ok... driver open or what? [08:58] no, the system install the driver from nvidia side. [08:58] rici: you need to test the open driver [08:58] rici: you should use a fresh installation to understand what is doing this mess [08:59] rici: try disabiling the desktop effect [08:59] i used a new created user but doesn't help. [08:59] alt shift f12 [08:59] installation is from kubuntu 6.x to 11.10 with all v ersions between. [08:59] rici: well you should NOT install video ddriver without a repo [09:00] rici: there is jokey-kde for proprietay driver [09:00] ok i try nv driver! [09:01] Peace-: i don't quite understand yet how we know the issue is related to the video driver? [09:01] Torch: ctrl alt f1 GET the login via text mode [09:01] i don't know, if istop dbus the kdesops are disapearing. [09:01] but i get a few other errors then. [09:01] Peace-: yes. what does that mean? [09:02] rici: sure. KDE needs dbus to work. if you stop it. everything more or less breaks. [09:02] Torch: X is freezed , plasma is freezed ? the driver doens't work ? [09:02] Peace-: dbus requests hang. [09:02] Torch: i don't think so [09:02] Peace-: that pretty much must look like "all has frozen" to a user [09:02] Peace-: so why does it help to stop dbus then? [09:02] Torch: i have never said to stop dbus [09:03] ... [09:03] Torch: are you her to troll or what? [09:03] [09:55:14] after i stop dbus the system is working but i get a few new problems then. [09:04] Torch: for me is the proprietary driver... that dont' work with plasma [09:04] Torch: so... [09:04] doesn't [09:04] Peace-: the nvidia driver works fine [09:04] Torch: for you. [09:04] ok guys, i get a call and must leave for 2 hours. will be back and report my try's with the nv driver later. THANKS! [09:04] Peace-: in that case we would need to know what driver and card exactly we're talking about [09:05] szal: i prefer to test the standard driver... [09:05] ok, show it later. [09:05] ... [09:05] i support here since 4 year [09:05] * szal doesn't have any problem w/ the current driver and doesn't see either why the driver from nvidia.com should be any different in this respect than that from the repo [09:05] i have no time to waste to explain my point of view [09:06] Peace-: relax, dude... this is nothing personal. [09:06] szal: user is the biggest virus for linux [09:06] and for example [09:07] http://nowardev.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/konsole-window-resize-freeze-kde-kubuntu-nvidia/ [09:07] Peace-: that's an old topic [09:07] Peace-: used to happen with 11.04 [09:07] Peace-: that was w/ the 270 driver in Natty [09:07] because your machine wiorks.... [09:07] Peace-: it does. [09:07] doesnt mean it works everywhere [09:07] Peace-: and was fixed w/ the 275 driver [09:07] Peace-: i had that bug, fixed it, moved on. [09:08] doesnt mean it works everywhere [09:08] doesn't mean you're more right than everyone else either [09:08] ok then everyone came here to say different stuff so the user is confused [09:08] ... [09:09] i guess i will leave the channel [09:09] Peace-: that would probably be a serious loss for this channel. please don't do that. [09:09] none is neccessary [09:10] everyone is usefull [09:11] [10:05:48] i have no time to waste to explain my point of view <- the 5 minutes you've now wasted w/ pointless bickering you could've done that by now [09:11] Hi. Whenever i try to save/open a file, my kubuntu(oneiric, KDE 4.7.3) starts spinning my HDD and dialog prompt is opened in a second or two. Things look like my kubuntu tries to suspend disk wneh it's possible. What could be the problem? [09:11] thx noaXess osinclair o/ [09:11] mohaa: you got it? [09:11] HDD is rather new, about a few months old. [09:11] szal: ok bye guys [09:11] mohaa_: you on top of it now? [09:12] osinclair: power management, I suppose [09:13] noaXess i will probably do another gentoo install [09:13] she'll get used to it eventually [09:13] i don't really get along with networkManager and those rfkill surprise parties === oyster is now known as healer [09:14] szal_: not sure about that, my hp reports 2 w/l interface when only 1 exist.. [09:14] mohaa: this is really weird [09:14] osinclair it works but not enough. i hate the idea of having to deal with overengineered bugs [09:14] szal_: worked fine on my Dell(s) [09:14] mohaa: you can use wicd.-kde if you want [09:15] Hi. Whenever i try to save/open a file, my kubuntu(oneiric, KDE 4.7.3) starts spinning my HDD and dialog prompt is opened in a second or two. Things look like my kubuntu tries to suspend disk wneh it's possible. What could be the problem? [09:15] peace_: wicd does not solve ALL problems.. [09:15] mohaa: for the hdd are you sure you dint' touch the stuff ? [09:15] mohaa: i mean the configs fiels [09:15] mohaa: b default there is an opption disabled for the hd ... [09:15] Peace- i'll give it a try later today. I'm kinda saturated now [09:15] >_< [09:15] osinclair: nick completion fail, I meant to tell that to oyster (healer) [09:15] osinclair: you can try. [09:16] osinclair: or trying is forbidden? [09:16] Peace_: agree, but if it is weird h/w lock then nwmanager will likely not help. Note I like wicd.. [09:16] Peace- what are highlights for on me ?? [09:17] szal: sry, changed nick to identify with NickServ. Power management is OK, that happens even in "performance" mode. [09:17] mohaa: ys [09:17] ?? [09:17] ys ? [09:17] yes [09:17] omg [09:22] I have aproblem with amarok, the 5 minuts continuos crash and i don't do nothing i don't understand [09:23] it before function any problem, why now does crash continuos it? [09:24] drox: did you update to 2.5? [09:24] drox: upgraded? [09:24] somebody upgrase to do [09:25] if you added the ppa there is not support [09:25] officially [09:25] Peace-: no only ppa mediubuntu [09:25] drox: run amarok on konsole [09:26] !paste [09:26] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [09:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/794670/ [09:27] which app can i use for formatting a SD Card under kubuntu 11.10? [09:27] azazl: partitionmanager [09:28] Peace-: thanks! [09:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/794674/ questo amarok --debug [09:32] drox: your database is wrong [09:32] drox: you need to reset amarok [09:32] what do i do? [09:32] you might want to try moving your amarok configs and forcing it to create new ones. i think the data base is stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok im just not sure what file exactly , but to be safe you should move that folder and ~/.kde/share/config/amarok (settings folder) it might just correct itself when you restart it. [09:34] my english is bad, but i think to understand [09:35] if i execute dolphin i can see the sd card however in kde partition manager doesn't apear it [09:35] drox: vieni in #ubuntu-it-chat [09:37] azazl: mm remove the sd [09:37] azazl: and plug in again [09:37] ok. [09:38] :P [09:38] on partitioon manager refresh the list [09:38] i did it [09:39] by pressing f5 [09:39] ok. [09:41] Peace-: the issue persists [09:41] i will try with disk utility [09:42] azazl: mmm i guess you did something of worng on that sd card [09:42] azazl: you need to fix it via konsole [09:43] Peace-: disk utility can see my sd card on /dev/mmcblk0! [09:44] but i only can format it in FAT fs, i have a question [09:44] azazl: type this ls /dev/sd THEN PRESS TABB [09:44] paste the ooutput [09:45] ls: no se puede acceder a /dev/sd: No existe el archivo o el directorio [09:45] [09:45] no [09:45] no [09:45] then press tab NOT ENTER [09:46] :P [09:46] ok. ls /dev/sda [09:46] this is my hdd [09:46] the other ? [09:46] there is not sdb?

Any way to find more useful logs? Or is it a known issue? [09:48] list drives and partitions w/ 'sudo fdisk -l'; if a USB medium is attached, it should also list that [09:48] a panel? sorry i'm spanish panel confuses me [09:48] toshiba [09:48] not panel [09:48] yes my laptop is a toshiba [09:48] laptop=notebook [09:49] azazl: do as has said szal [09:49] returns of fdisk -l: [09:50] Dispositivo Inicio Comienzo Fin Bloques Id Sistema [09:50] /dev/mmcblk0p1 8192 7741439 3866624 b W95 FAT32 [09:50] that is the sd that i want format in fat32 file system [09:50] ok now you have the location of your sd card [09:51] correct [09:51] that's correct! [09:51] sorry i traduce to english in literal mode from spanish [09:52] hello [09:52] if i've located my sd device how i can format it in fat32? [09:52] azazl: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 [09:53] is there an alternative for mplayer-plugin or mozilla-mplayer on amd64? [09:53] unable to open mmcblk0pl! [09:53] do i need to mount it first? [09:55] mm [09:55] well, i mounted it but doesn't format the sd. (how dummie i am!)
