| yottabit | think you can help with my workspaces issue? | 01:59 |
| mosno | yottabit, highly unlikely | 02:00 |
| yottabit | hahah | 02:00 |
| mosno | yottabit, i don't even have kubuntu installed | 02:00 |
| yottabit | :) | 02:00 |
| yottabit | what are you waiting for? | 02:00 |
| mosno | yottabit, i was just wanting to see the calibre/volume of conversations in here | 02:01 |
| yottabit | there isn't much in here | 02:01 |
| yottabit | #ubuntu has more activity but you might not get an answer because of the volume | 02:02 |
| mosno | yottabit, yeah. i've been playing with kde 4.6 on debian... | 02:02 |
| mosno | yottabit, i was considering installing kubuntu in a vm to steal ideas/config | 02:02 |
| yottabit | i used gentoo for years, but i don't know what the v/c is like on #gentoo-kde | 02:02 |
| yottabit | most #nixos users are kde users | 02:03 |
| mosno | yottabit, i'm more interested in debian derivatives | 02:03 |
| yottabit | where are you putting those ideas? | 02:03 |
| yottabit | hopefully on the interwebs | 02:03 |
| mosno | yottabit, no, i mean i was planning on seeing how kubuntu implement something, eg. horizontal touchpad scrolling, gtk theming, then if i like the solution, porting it to my debian install | 02:04 |
| yottabit | oh, go for it! | 02:05 |
| mosno | yottabit, thanks for giving me permission ;) | 02:07 |
| yottabit | heh, just encouraging you to do something before the day's up :) | 02:07 |
| mosno | yottabit, i wish i had the time! i'm at work doing work stuff :( | 02:12 |
| mosno | but it's nice to lurk on IRC and feel connected | 02:12 |
| bibismcbryde | I'm kind of a linux newbie, and I've been trying for a while to install the rt2870 driver so that I can use my cisco ae1000 usb wireless adapter. I've been following the instructions here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-rt2870-chipset-based-usb-wireless-adapter.html and am able to get up to changing the config.mk file in os/linux, but when I type "make," I get the following error: | 02:26 |
| bibismcbryde | make -C tools make[1]: Entering directory `/home/elizabeth/Downloads/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1/tools' gcc -g bin2h.c -o bin2h make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/elizabeth/Downloads/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1/tools' /home/elizabeth/Downloads/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1/tools/bin2h cp -f os/linux/Makefile.6 /home/elizabeth/Downloads/2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1/os/linux/Makefile make -C /lib/modul | 02:26 |

| bibismcbryde | It's a long error message, but that's the first thing that causes it to not make | 02:30 |
| yottabit | ummm... | 02:30 |
| yottabit | i'm trying to think of a channel to send you to | 02:31 |
| bibismcbryde | I've googled this line and it's come up in three queries, one of which is in german | 02:31 |
| yottabit | i don't think you're going to find much help here | 02:31 |
| bibismcbryde | okay | 02:31 |
| bibismcbryde | sorry | 02:31 |
| yottabit | np | 02:31 |
| yottabit | ##networking maybe | 02:31 |
| yottabit | ##wireless | 02:31 |
| yottabit | ##linux is another ofc | 02:32 |
| bibismcbryde | how do I switch channels? (never used irc before - pretty embarassing as a cs major) | 02:32 |
| yottabit | i think the questions that generally are answered in here are kde related | 02:32 |

| BarkingFish | how do I find out whether we have wireless drivers inbuilt for a particular wifi card? I have one I can put inside my machine now on PCI, but don't know if i can get (or we have) drivers for it. | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, if you know what chip it uses then it's fairlyeasy to search the package manager for the driver if that kernel source driver exists | 14:43 |
| BarkingFish | I don't know what chip it is, BluesKaj - I know the make and model of the card though, it's a Netgear WG311 v2 | 14:44 |
| mr-rich | BarkingFish: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Netgear+WG311+linux | 14:48 |
| BarkingFish | right, BluesKaj :) I found the chip data on google, it's an acx111 chip | 14:48 |
| BarkingFish | package manager doesn't show up any hits on the chip | 14:48 |
| BarkingFish | i'll install it into my PC, and see if I can get the ID and run it through ndiswrapper for now | 14:49 |
| zacarias | In the Kickoff menu, when I choose the "Quit" tab I never see the option to shut down or restart the computer (just "log out", "hibernate", "change user" and "lock"). How do I change that? | 14:49 |

| mikecb_ | what's the deal with ubuntu one in kubuntu? Is there a qt frontend? | 14:50 |
| lethu | mikecb_, can you be more clear please? | 14:52 |
| mikecb_ | is there a separate application for kubuntu, or are we forced to install the gtk application written for ubuntu? | 14:53 |
| lethu | mikecb_, have you installed Kubuntu then ended up with a Gnome desktop environment? | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | bar yeah , it's relatively old so it might be easy to install , drivers etc should be available without having to resort to ndiswrapper | 14:53 |
| mikecb_ | no | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | oops | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | mikecb_, yeah , if you want ubuntuone , you're stuck with gtk afaik | 14:54 |
| mikecb_ | lame | 14:55 |
| mikecb_ | thanks | 14:55 |
| lethu | mikecb_, when you can't find the application you are looking for in QT, then it's sometimes necessary to install gtk in order to get some apps which don't exist in a Qt form | 14:55 |
| mikecb_ | lethu: indeed, was just wondering if anyone had developed one. Thanks. | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | mikecb_, personally I use dropbox , there's a method for kde without needing nautilus | 14:55 |
| lethu | mikecb_, yw | 14:55 |
| mikecb_ | BluesKaj: me too, but I'm trying to move away from it because I don't like it that much. | 14:56 |
| mikecb_ | plus, one is cheaper | 14:56 |
| mikecb_ | :) | 14:56 |
| schnelle | zacarias: remove kickoff menu from panel and add it again and see if that helps | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | ok, mikecb_ if you require more space then that's differnet ...I'm not paying , anyway my ISP provides me with 25G of space with easy access fo family etc to share stuff | 14:58 |

| BarkingFish | Hi again :) Right, the card is in place, and it's being detected by lspci - I can't see anything at the moment registered as a second network interface though, so I assume we don't directly have drivers for it. | 15:02 |
| BarkingFish | This is what my system is telling me it is: 03:05.0 Network controller [0280]: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface [104c:9066] | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, run lsmod , try to find the card , the driver name should be right beside it | 15:04 |
| BarkingFish | it doesn't show up in lsmod | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, sudo modprobe acx ..try that | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | that should load the driver | 15:07 |

| hazamonzo | Does Kate usually have issues opening up a 60kiB file? | 15:07 |
| BarkingFish | hazamonzo: no, it shouldn't anyway | 15:08 |
| hazamonzo | kate is now eating 100% of one on my cores and frozen :( | 15:08 |
| BarkingFish | I've had files open in there well over 16mb and it's not done anything. | 15:08 |
| hazamonzo | Iwonder if its just the type of file.... its just a .js with json data | 15:09 |
| BarkingFish | press CTRL+ALT+ESC, your cursor will change to a skull and crossbones, click on the kate window and that will kill it. It sounds like it's just outright hung | 15:09 |
| BarkingFish | try to reopen the file in kate, and if it fails again, let us know. | 15:10 |
| hazamonzo | BarkingFish: yeah i am looking at the processes but i was reluctant to kill it as i have many files open in kate. Didn't want to lose them when i restarted kate | 15:10 |
| hazamonzo | Guess i have no choice. 2 secs | 15:10 |
| BarkingFish | BluesKaj: I managed to find the last issued software version for the card, just downloaded it and I'll try rigging it through ndiswrapper. | 15:12 |
| hazamonzo | BarkingFish: Dang.. same thing again.. http://wstaw.org/m/2012/01/09/plasma-desktopBV3736.jpg | 15:13 |
| hazamonzo | only the one file opened in kate this time. the same json .js | 15:13 |
| hazamonzo | Vi it is :) | 15:14 |
| BarkingFish | hazamonzo: do you think you could put a copy of that file on dropbox for me and let me check it this end please? | 15:14 |
| hazamonzo | BarkingFish: Sure. Can i use pastebin though? | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, I was hoping you'd be able to avoid ndiswrapper , however I used it for a while and it worked ok , not the fastest for file transfers etc but fine for regulare websurfing etc | 15:16 |
| BarkingFish | i'm running on ndiswrapper now with my old USB wifi stick :) | 15:17 |
| BarkingFish | I'm just setting up a second interface for all my wireless stuff, so I can have one in broadcast mode and a PAN | 15:17 |
| BarkingFish | hazamonzo: that's fine | 15:17 |
| hazamonzo | BarkingFish: 1 min | 15:18 |
| BarkingFish | i'll be back in a sec, BluesKaj and hazamonzo - just gonna restart and check the PCI card is up | 15:19 |

| BarkingFish | BluesKaj: card is up and working, slightly odd as it's skipped an interface name, but as long as it works I'm not fussed. | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | ok wep ? | 15:26 |
| BarkingFish | I now have my usb stick on wlan0 and the pci card has (for some reason) been assigned wlan2 | 15:26 |
| BarkingFish | works on wep and wpa | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | cool | 15:27 |
| BarkingFish | i'm on the card now over a wpa connection | 15:27 |
| BarkingFish | don't understand why the device identifier is different, why did it get wlan2, and can I change that? | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | I have a belkin usb stick rt2870 driver , that widget says it's connected in NM but only to the router , it doesn't load any webpages ..404 etc | 15:29 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, uhm, why fool with success ? :) | 15:30 |
| BarkingFish | because I'm a stickler for things being in order, BluesKaj :) | 15:30 |
| BarkingFish | autism does that to you :) | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, you may regret it if you do | 15:31 |

| BarkingFish | i would at least want to try, if it goes feet up I can uninstall the ndiswrapper stuff and start again | 15:32 |
| BarkingFish | it's no biggie | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, it may be leaving the option for the ethernet card use "1" | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | to use | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | Nm that is | 15:33 |
| BarkingFish | looks like it is actually, I have eth1 on the system as a wired for my pocket PC | 15:33 |
| BarkingFish | ok, scratch the change then, but it's gonna throw me for a bit :) | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | ndiswrapper :) | 15:34 |
| BarkingFish | ndiswrapper is lovely, I just wish we had an onboard driver for some of these weird assed chips that you find :) | 15:35 |
| BarkingFish | It would make life so much easier | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | well, it works and that's the good part ...kind of an old nic , consider yourself fortunate , i think :) | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | my belkin usb is even too old for W7 :( | 15:38 |
| BarkingFish | yeah, anyway I don't want wifi through it, just want it to run a dhcp for my pocket PC to go wireless to my main machine | 15:39 |
| BarkingFish | i'll set the wireless up for the pocket PC through wicd, since I know it better :) | 15:41 |
| floown | hello | 15:49 |
| floown | someone can indicate me how to use sed to increase the timeout in grub? | 15:50 |
| floown | I can use nano, the tty's display is to big (the caracters) | 15:50 |
| floown | * I can not | 15:50 |
| ts2 | floown: should be "set timeout=some_number" afaik | 15:57 |
| floown | ts2: ? what is the command please, I don't understand… | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | floown, you can in /etc/default/grub with root permissions , then sudo updte-grub after editing | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | update-grub | 15:58 |
| floown | BluesKaj: sure, but I can not use nano to do that… you have forget the verb in your sentence : what should I do? Edit ? | 15:59 |
| floown | Ok, and with the sed command ? | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | floown, use alt+f2 , kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub , look for the timeout and set it to however many secs you want | 16:02 |
| floown | BluesKaj: I'm in tty, sorry | 16:02 |
| floown | and can not use nano or wim | 16:03 |
| floown | cause the caracter are to big on the screen : I'm entering the letter as a blind… | 16:03 |
| ts2 | sed -i -e 's/^GRUB_TIMEOUT=[0-9]*/GRUB_TIMEOUT=20/' /etc/default/grub | 16:03 |
| ts2 | (for example) | 16:03 |
| floown | I try, thx | 16:03 |
| ts2 | you may also want to increase GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT, that is how long grub will wait for a key-press before skipping showing the menu | 16:05 |
| floown | ok ts2, many thx, just a question again (I try to help my dad with the phone, in fact) : the right file to edit is/etc/default/grub and not /boot/grub/menu.lst ? He use the Kubuntu 11.04 | 16:07 |
| floown | (the dist-upgrade had fail…) | 16:08 |
| floown | to 11.10 | 16:08 |
| GuestOgre | dude, this version is awesome like very nice crazy, it is faster than gnome :/ | 16:08 |
| ts2 | menu.lst is for the older grub, 11.04 should have grub2 I think | 16:08 |
| floown | ts2: ok, nice, have a nice day | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | ts2, yes grub2 is default on 11.04 | 16:12 |
| Combatjuan | Silly question, but how do I accept the auto-complete in KDE Alt-F2? I can hit "End (or Ctrl-E) and then Enter" but I'd prefer to have a single key combo that doesn't involve moving my hands far from home row. | 17:23 |
| floown | ts2: I'm back to my grub problem, sorry. My father should use grub 1 in Kubuntu 11.04 and the vbeinfo command is not disponible in the grub command. Could you help us please if you have an idea about the problem, or a method to switch grub1 to grub2 befor I repair the display resolution? | 17:28 |
| ts2 | floown: to change the timeout of grub? | 17:32 |
| floown | ts2: no, in fact I have only reboot the computer and I have ask befor my father to see the informations about the screen's display to resolve befor this problem. Sorry ^^ | 17:36 |
| === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan | ||
| shadeslayer | Combatjuan: Not sure, but I think you could configure it in systemsettings | 17:50 |
| === ryan____ is now known as TheAncientGoat | ||
| Combatjuan | shadeslayer - You're right (at least kind-of). Standard keybindings has several settings dealing with completion but none of them (save Ctrl-E Text Completion) works for me. So I'll just stick with that. | 18:47 |
| shadeslayer | You could just define a custom key binding | 18:47 |
| Combatjuan | I suppose in this case "Next" and "Previous" aren't really part of it and it is "Text Completion" and not "Substring Completion" so it's probably working as intended. | 18:48 |

| adminn | hello | 20:09 |
| adminn | I have a question....how do I do the day to day updates in kubuntu 11.10? | 20:09 |
| adminn | hello....anybody here? | 20:10 |
| adminn | could anyone help me please? | 20:10 |
| === adminn is now known as Efry | ||
| Efry | hello | 20:12 |
| Efry | anybody? | 20:12 |
| Efry | hello | 20:13 |
| rork | Efry: can you open the muon software center? | 20:13 |
| Efry | yep | 20:13 |
| Efry | then what? | 20:14 |
| rork | Muon software center > Settings > Updates | 20:14 |
| Efry | is that going to update my sistem? | 20:14 |
| rork | I'm not sure, I don't use it myself, but it says auto update, check daily and install without confirmation so that should be what you're looking for | 20:16 |
| Efry | ok, thank you :) | 20:16 |
| rork | Maybe someone else can confirm this but that might take some time for this channel is not very active | 20:16 |
| Efry | yep, I kind off noticed that :) | 20:17 |
| Efry | but I think that that is it | 20:17 |
| Efry | I just don't get it...there are so many people on this IRC chanel.... | 20:18 |
| rork | It's the default channel in the Kubuntu KDE chat apps, I think many just keep it | 20:18 |
| Efry | aham, ok man, you've been verry helpful | 20:19 |
| rork | I'm afraid maybe 20 people are pretty, and they don't watch the channel all the time | 20:19 |
| rork | Thanks, I try :) | 20:20 |
| razl | hi, I shrinked my linux partition and created an ntfs partition on the free space but windows doesn't show it in explorer. what do I have to do to make windows recognize it? | 20:42 |
| BluesKaj | razl, did you format it to ntfs , if so then ask in #windows , if not format it | 20:45 |
| razl | BluesKaj: I used GParted to create the ntfs partition, I think it formatted it (otherwise, why would the file system matter) | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | ok ,some partitioners just flag the partition , but don't format until literally told to do so | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | gparted formatted it ...you may need to flag it as a boot partition for windows to see it , but I haven't worked with windows for many yrs , things may have changed since | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | razl, you really should ask in #windows | 20:52 |
| razl | BluesKaj: I did that at first but nobody answered since an hour | 20:53 |
| BluesKaj | razl, does your btfs partition show up in dolphin>places ? | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | ntfs | 21:00 |
| CharlieSheen | I am using Kubuntu 11.10, on a slightly older XP machine. I am having problems, and am currently connected via ethernet, but I need to connect wirelessly. I have WICD on my system, but it is still not picking up and of my wireless connections. Can anyone assist me? | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | which wifi nic chip , CharlieSheen ? | 21:14 |
| CharlieSheen | i dunno, all I know is what card it is, been trying to figure that out myself, but I am extremely novice. | 21:15 |
| CharlieSheen | How can i view that information from terminal? | 21:16 |
| CharlieSheen | I -think- it is Agere. | 21:17 |
| BluesKaj | CharlieSheen, sudo lshw -C network | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | or lspci and look for mobile | 21:20 |
| CharlieSheen | Product: 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Cotnroller | 21:21 |
| CharlieSheen | Doesn't show mobile | 21:21 |
| BluesKaj | wlan? | 21:21 |
| CharlieSheen | But when the machien was windows, -it was wireless- so I know it is there | 21:21 |
| CharlieSheen | No wlan either | 21:22 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| BluesKaj | CharlieSheen, do you see anything like broadcom , atheros , belkin | 21:23 |
| === root is now known as Guest87305 | ||
| CharlieSheen | i see communication comtroller agere ststems lt winmodem (rev 02) | 21:24 |
| === Guest87305 is now known as root_ | ||
| === root_ is now known as Guest87305 | ||
| CharlieSheen | Other than that or 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Cotnroller | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | yeah the agere sounds right for wifi nic , CharlieSheen | 21:26 |
| CharlieSheen | Alright, so what should I do from here? Like, what should I google for? | 21:27 |
| BluesKaj | CharlieSheen, look in your package manager for agere , you'll see a driver for it , martian modem | 21:29 |
| CharlieSheen | So apt-cache show agere? | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | no.open apper or muon | 21:32 |
| CharlieSheen | imuon is not finding anything | 21:37 |
| BluesKaj | CharlieSheen, that's why I prefer snaptic | 21:39 |
| BluesKaj | synaptic | 21:39 |
| CharlieSheen | What is synaptic? | 21:39 |
| CharlieSheen | If it is something I can install with sudo apt-get and whatnot, and will be easier than this, I am game lol | 21:39 |
| BluesKaj | it's a gnome based package manager , which is more precise than any other IMO | 21:40 |
| CharlieSheen | Ah...so...what do I do, lol >.> | 21:40 |
| CharlieSheen | Am I pretty much screwed right now? | 21:41 |
| BluesKaj | yup , sudo apt-get install synaptic | 21:41 |
| BluesKaj | are you on 11.10 ? | 21:41 |
| CharlieSheen | Yes. | 21:41 |
| CharlieSheen | Ok its doing its thing lol | 21:42 |
| CharlieSheen | Also | 21:42 |
| BluesKaj | also make sure you have the canonical partners repositories enabled in the package manager | 21:42 |
| CharlieSheen | Can I PM you? | 21:42 |
| BluesKaj | CharlieSheen, I prefer not to pm ...ppl can learb from what we're doing here | 21:43 |
| BluesKaj | learn | 21:43 |
| CharlieSheen | kk, here is a link, it is ebay, but it is the wireless card from the same line of computers. | 21:44 |
| CharlieSheen | http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-COMPAQ-Evo-N1000c-N1015c-Wireless-LAN-Card-Port-WF01-/300534803144 | 21:44 |
| CharlieSheen | Also - Give me a few moments, I was having a small issue, but its fixed now. | 21:47 |
| BluesKaj | CharlieSheen, best to look in windows in the control panel >devices to find the right wifi card , not all compaqs were equipped with the card you posted | 21:50 |
| CharlieSheen | Yeah, the machine is only kubuntu 11.10, no windows on it anymore. | 21:51 |
| BluesKaj | did you install synaptic ? | 21:54 |
| CharlieSheen | it is installing now, had an issue with my update heh | 21:56 |
| CharlieSheen | ok its installed | 22:00 |
| BluesKaj | ok look in kmenu>apps>system for it , then type agere in the searchbox | 22:02 |
| CharlieSheen | ok found agere, martian modem driver, I marked it for installation | 22:07 |
| BluesKaj | ok , install it to see if it's the right driver , you'll probly need to reboot , then check network manager to set it up with your router | 22:10 |
| CharlieSheen | how do I open it as admin? It wont let me apply without doing that | 22:11 |
| BluesKaj | open CharlieSheen do you jave the network widget in the panel ? | 22:13 |
| CharlieSheen | no, earlier instructions from someone else had me remove -purge network-manager | 22:14 |
| CharlieSheen | Because they were saying 'use wicd instead' | 22:15 |
| BluesKaj | that was probly for the ethernet card , right ? | 22:15 |
| BluesKaj | ok do you have wicd then ? | 22:15 |
| CharlieSheen | yes. | 22:16 |
| CharlieSheen | but it wouldn't let me apply the driver | 22:16 |
| CharlieSheen | because it wasnt open in admin mode? | 22:16 |
| BluesKaj | ok launch wicd from the kmenu or run command , alt+f2 | 22:16 |
| CharlieSheen | k | 22:17 |
| CharlieSheen | its open | 22:17 |
| BluesKaj | I haven't used wicd in a while . which tabs and options do you have there | 22:19 |
| BluesKaj | do you see any wifi networks listed? | 22:21 |
| BluesKaj | in preferences | 22:22 |
| CharlieSheen | no wireless networks found | 22:27 |
| BluesKaj | hope nothing's changed on your router wifi settings , and are you using wep or wpa setings there ? | 22:30 |
| CharlieSheen | wpa | 22:31 |
| BluesKaj | CharlieSheen, personally I'd try network manager first before wicd | 22:31 |
| BluesKaj | wicd used to be afine wifi manager . but it hasn't ben easy to configure in the last few releases | 22:33 |
| BluesKaj | sorry CharlieSheen , I have to go ..bbl ..I hope | 22:39 |
| CharlieSheen | lol thanks for your help | 22:40 |
| CharlieSheen | hopefully i can figure this thing out lol | 22:40 |

| afief | BarkingFish: quite possible, but I have no clue how to fix it | 23:03 |
| BarkingFish | ah, well I can't help you then unfortunately. | 23:03 |
| afief | :( | 23:03 |
| BarkingFish | I'm on 11.10 with KDE 4.7.4 | 23:03 |
| BarkingFish | just give me an idea, what is the bug? | 23:04 |

| Resistance | afief: you can't install the compilers yourself and compile? | 23:11 |
| afief | Resistance: I did, but I'd like someone to verify it before I start sending out bug reports | 23:12 |
