[00:43] Yes [00:44] hi all. i don't remember the password to login on channels (i've used it a logn time ago). is there any way to get it back ? === ionut is now known as ioubuntu [00:48] done no problem. thanks all [00:48] good bye [00:52] arado - we're about, sort of. Do you need some help with something? [00:54] i do not need help. i just wonder about the quitness in this channel (with more than 250 people) [00:55] i´m just bored ;) [01:16] qbit: I'm not sure what did the trick, but after removing gnome and unity and reinstalling upower, everything started working correctly :) [01:26] so i'm trying to figure out why search and launch workspace isn't showing me the notebook iterface [01:26] halp appreciated [01:50] * yottabit throws a bone at everyone who entered the channel [01:57] yottabit, howdy [01:58] howdy mosno [01:59] think you can help with my workspaces issue? [02:00] yottabit, highly unlikely [02:00] hahah [02:00] yottabit, i don't even have kubuntu installed [02:00] :) [02:00] what are you waiting for? [02:01] yottabit, i was just wanting to see the calibre/volume of conversations in here [02:01] there isn't much in here [02:02] #ubuntu has more activity but you might not get an answer because of the volume [02:02] yottabit, yeah. i've been playing with kde 4.6 on debian... [02:02] yottabit, i was considering installing kubuntu in a vm to steal ideas/config [02:02] i used gentoo for years, but i don't know what the v/c is like on #gentoo-kde [02:03] most #nixos users are kde users [02:03] yottabit, i'm more interested in debian derivatives [02:03] where are you putting those ideas? [02:03] hopefully on the interwebs [02:04] 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 [02:05] oh, go for it! [02:07] yottabit, thanks for giving me permission ;) [02:07] heh, just encouraging you to do something before the day's up :) [02:12] yottabit, i wish i had the time! i'm at work doing work stuff :( [02:12] but it's nice to lurk on IRC and feel connected [02:26] 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] 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 [02:27] oops - hold on [02:29] Has anyone else had that problem?

(never used irc before - pretty embarassing as a cs major) [02:32] i think the questions that generally are answered in here are kde related [02:32] type in /join #foobar [02:33] awesome. thanks [02:33] np, gl [02:38] sometimes when my phone is playing up, and I try to unmount it (usb storage), it locks up the usb bus totally, so that I can no longer mount/unmount devices. Even my mouse no longer works if I unplug and replug [02:38] andyone know if there's a way to reset the usb bus or something? not sure if this is something to do with KDE or linux generally [02:41] oh, and dmesg has something like [ 1560.737009] INFO: task umount:16178 blocked for more than 120 seconds. === kris_ is now known as kkerwin [05:22] is there a way to permanently ignore a directory from updatedb?

[13:15] how to display the groups some user is in of the users some group contains? [14:03] When I restar Kubuntu, the screen resolution always goes back to 1024x768. I have to choose the wright resolution (1440x900) each time I restart the computer. This doesn't happen if I just logout. Any idea of how to solve this? [14:06] web browers for the handling of the browers is handled only through pulse? [14:25] wow [14:26] kubuntu 11.10 is faster than Debian 6 kde [14:29] hiyas all [14:30] * GuestOgre shocked [14:30] KDE is very fast with nouveau! [14:32] love kde [14:32] 12.04 is solid [14:32] well, i hated KDE in Debian 6, it is very slow. [14:32] kde 4.4.5 , very old [14:34] GuestOgre, which nvidia card , you might get even faster response with the nvidia recommended driver in kmenu>apps>settings>additional drivers [14:34] wow, i'm updating with Additional Drivers... i can't wait :D [14:35] beyondcr, it's not solid for everyone ..believe me [14:41] 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. [14:43] 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 [14:44] 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 [14:48] BarkingFish: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Netgear+WG311+linux [14:48] right, BluesKaj :) I found the chip data on google, it's an acx111 chip [14:48] package manager doesn't show up any hits on the chip [14:49] i'll install it into my PC, and see if I can get the ID and run it through ndiswrapper for now [14:49] 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] back in a bit [14:50] what's the deal with ubuntu one in kubuntu? Is there a qt frontend? [14:52] mikecb_, can you be more clear please? [14:53] is there a separate application for kubuntu, or are we forced to install the gtk application written for ubuntu? [14:53] mikecb_, have you installed Kubuntu then ended up with a Gnome desktop environment? [14:53] 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] no [14:53] oops [14:54] mikecb_, yeah , if you want ubuntuone , you're stuck with gtk afaik [14:55] lame [14:55] thanks [14:55] 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] lethu: indeed, was just wondering if anyone had developed one. Thanks. [14:55] mikecb_, personally I use dropbox , there's a method for kde without needing nautilus [14:55] mikecb_, yw [14:56] BluesKaj: me too, but I'm trying to move away from it because I don't like it that much. [14:56] plus, one is cheaper [14:56] :) [14:58] zacarias: remove kickoff menu from panel and add it again and see if that helps [14:58] 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] cool === stroumpfette is now known as Blexy === Blexy is now known as stroumpfette === stroumpfette is now known as Stroumpfette [15:02] 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. [15:03] 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] [15:04] BarkingFish, run lsmod , try to find the card , the driver name should be right beside it [15:05] it doesn't show up in lsmod [15:06] BarkingFish, sudo modprobe acx ..try that [15:07] that should load the driver [15:07] fatal: Module acx not found [15:07] Does Kate usually have issues opening up a 60kiB file? [15:08] hazamonzo: no, it shouldn't anyway [15:08] kate is now eating 100% of one on my cores and frozen :( [15:08] I've had files open in there well over 16mb and it's not done anything. [15:09] Iwonder if its just the type of file.... its just a .js with json data [15:09] 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 [15:10] try to reopen the file in kate, and if it fails again, let us know. [15:10] 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] Guess i have no choice. 2 secs [15:12] BluesKaj: I managed to find the last issued software version for the card, just downloaded it and I'll try rigging it through ndiswrapper. [15:13] BarkingFish: Dang.. same thing again.. http://wstaw.org/m/2012/01/09/plasma-desktopBV3736.jpg [15:13] only the one file opened in kate this time. the same json .js [15:14] Vi it is :) [15:14] hazamonzo: do you think you could put a copy of that file on dropbox for me and let me check it this end please? [15:15] BarkingFish: Sure. Can i use pastebin though? [15:16] 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 [15:17] i'm running on ndiswrapper now with my old USB wifi stick :) [15:17] 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] hazamonzo: that's fine [15:18] BarkingFish: 1 min [15:19] i'll be back in a sec, BluesKaj and hazamonzo - just gonna restart and check the PCI card is up [15:19] brb [15:26] 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] ok wep ? [15:26] I now have my usb stick on wlan0 and the pci card has (for some reason) been assigned wlan2 [15:27] works on wep and wpa [15:27] cool [15:27] i'm on the card now over a wpa connection [15:28] don't understand why the device identifier is different, why did it get wlan2, and can I change that? [15:29] 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 [15:30] BarkingFish, uhm, why fool with success ? :) [15:30] because I'm a stickler for things being in order, BluesKaj :) [15:31] autism does that to you :) [15:31] BarkingFish, you may regret it if you do === warren is now known as Guest25722 [15:32] i would at least want to try, if it goes feet up I can uninstall the ndiswrapper stuff and start again [15:32] it's no biggie [15:32] BarkingFish, it may be leaving the option for the ethernet card use "1" [15:32] to use [15:33] Nm that is [15:33] looks like it is actually, I have eth1 on the system as a wired for my pocket PC [15:34] ok, scratch the change then, but it's gonna throw me for a bit :) [15:34] ndiswrapper :) [15:35] ndiswrapper is lovely, I just wish we had an onboard driver for some of these weird assed chips that you find :) [15:35] It would make life so much easier [15:38] well, it works and that's the good part ...kind of an old nic , consider yourself fortunate , i think :) [15:38] my belkin usb is even too old for W7 :( [15:39] 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 [15:41] i'll set the wireless up for the pocket PC through wicd, since I know it better :) [15:49] hello [15:50] someone can indicate me how to use sed to increase the timeout in grub? [15:50] I can use nano, the tty's display is to big (the caracters) [15:50] * I can not [15:57] floown: should be "set timeout=some_number" afaik [15:58] ts2: ? what is the command please, I don't understand… [15:58] floown, you can in /etc/default/grub with root permissions , then sudo updte-grub after editing [15:58] update-grub [15:59] BluesKaj: sure, but I can not use nano to do that… you have forget the verb in your sentence : what should I do? Edit ? [16:02] Ok, and with the sed command ? [16:02] floown, use alt+f2 , kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub , look for the timeout and set it to however many secs you want [16:02] BluesKaj: I'm in tty, sorry [16:03] and can not use nano or wim [16:03] cause the caracter are to big on the screen : I'm entering the letter as a blind… [16:03] sed -i -e 's/^GRUB_TIMEOUT=[0-9]*/GRUB_TIMEOUT=20/' /etc/default/grub [16:03] (for example) [16:03] I try, thx [16:05] 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 [16:07] 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 [16:08] (the dist-upgrade had fail…) [16:08] to 11.10 [16:08] dude, this version is awesome like very nice crazy, it is faster than gnome :/ [16:08] menu.lst is for the older grub, 11.04 should have grub2 I think [16:09] ts2: ok, nice, have a nice day [16:12] ts2, yes grub2 is default on 11.04 [17:23] 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. [17:28] 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? [17:32] floown: to change the timeout of grub? [17:36] 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 ^^ === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [17:50] Combatjuan: Not sure, but I think you could configure it in systemsettings === ryan____ is now known as TheAncientGoat [18:47] 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] You could just define a custom key binding [18:48] 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.

[20:16] 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] ok, thank you :) [20:16] Maybe someone else can confirm this but that might take some time for this channel is not very active [20:17] yep, I kind off noticed that :) [20:17] but I think that that is it [20:18] I just don't get it...there are so many people on this IRC chanel.... [20:18] It's the default channel in the Kubuntu KDE chat apps, I think many just keep it [20:19] aham, ok man, you've been verry helpful [20:19] I'm afraid maybe 20 people are pretty, and they don't watch the channel all the time [20:20] Thanks, I try :) [20:42] 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? [20:45] razl, did you format it to ntfs , if so then ask in #windows , if not format it [20:47] BluesKaj: I used GParted to create the ntfs partition, I think it formatted it (otherwise, why would the file system matter) [20:49] ok ,some partitioners just flag the partition , but don't format until literally told to do so [20:51] 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 [20:52] razl, you really should ask in #windows [20:53] BluesKaj: I did that at first but nobody answered since an hour [21:00] razl, does your btfs partition show up in dolphin>places ? [21:00] ntfs [21:11] 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? [21:14] which wifi nic chip , CharlieSheen ? [21:15] i dunno, all I know is what card it is, been trying to figure that out myself, but I am extremely novice. [21:16] How can i view that information from terminal? [21:17] I -think- it is Agere. [21:18] CharlieSheen, sudo lshw -C network [21:20] or lspci and look for mobile [21:21] Product: 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Cotnroller [21:21] Doesn't show mobile [21:21] wlan? [21:21] But when the machien was windows, -it was wireless- so I know it is there [21:22] No wlan either === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:23] CharlieSheen, do you see anything like broadcom , atheros , belkin === root is now known as Guest87305 [21:24] i see communication comtroller agere ststems lt winmodem (rev 02) === Guest87305 is now known as root_ === root_ is now known as Guest87305 [21:24] Other than that or 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Cotnroller [21:26] yeah the agere sounds right for wifi nic , CharlieSheen [21:27] Alright, so what should I do from here? Like, what should I google for? [21:29] CharlieSheen, look in your package manager for agere , you'll see a driver for it , martian modem [21:30] So apt-cache show agere? [21:32] no.open apper or muon [21:37] imuon is not finding anything [21:39] CharlieSheen, that's why I prefer snaptic [21:39] synaptic [21:39] What is synaptic? [21:39] If it is something I can install with sudo apt-get and whatnot, and will be easier than this, I am game lol [21:40] it's a gnome based package manager , which is more precise than any other IMO [21:40] Ah...so...what do I do, lol >.> [21:41] Am I pretty much screwed right now? [21:41] yup , sudo apt-get install synaptic [21:41] are you on 11.10 ? [21:41] Yes. [21:42] Ok its doing its thing lol [21:42] Also [21:42] also make sure you have the canonical partners repositories enabled in the package manager [21:42] Can I PM you? [21:43] CharlieSheen, I prefer not to pm ...ppl can learb from what we're doing here [21:43] learn [21:44] kk, here is a link, it is ebay, but it is the wireless card from the same line of computers. [21:44] http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-COMPAQ-Evo-N1000c-N1015c-Wireless-LAN-Card-Port-WF01-/300534803144 [21:47] Also - Give me a few moments, I was having a small issue, but its fixed now. [21:50] 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 [21:51] Yeah, the machine is only kubuntu 11.10, no windows on it anymore. [21:54] did you install synaptic ? [21:56] it is installing now, had an issue with my update heh [22:00] ok its installed [22:02] ok look in kmenu>apps>system for it , then type agere in the searchbox [22:07] ok found agere, martian modem driver, I marked it for installation [22:10] 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 [22:11] how do I open it as admin? It wont let me apply without doing that [22:13] open CharlieSheen do you jave the network widget in the panel ? [22:14] no, earlier instructions from someone else had me remove -purge network-manager [22:15] Because they were saying 'use wicd instead' [22:15] that was probly for the ethernet card , right ? [22:15] ok do you have wicd then ? [22:16] yes. [22:16] but it wouldn't let me apply the driver [22:16] because it wasnt open in admin mode? [22:16] ok launch wicd from the kmenu or run command , alt+f2 [22:17] k [22:17] its open [22:19]
