| leontopod | ok, installed kubuntu on my acer aspire one | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| leontopod | wireless doesn't seem to be working | 00:12 |
| leontopod | it's a netbook | 00:12 |
| Darkwing | leontopod: I have the same netbook. What is is doing/not doing? | 00:13 |
| === master_ is now known as Wurschti | ||
| === kkerwin is now known as Guest89399 | ||
| leontopod | well, it finds my wireless access point (mustelafuro) | 00:14 |
| leontopod | and I set it up | 00:14 |
| leontopod | with my password | 00:14 |
| leontopod | and click ok | 00:14 |
| leontopod | and then nothing happens | 00:14 |
| leontopod | no connectivity | 00:14 |
| Darkwing | Yeah, I've had that issue... do you save the password/have it auto connect? | 00:15 |
| leontopod | I was able to connect it with an ethernet cable | 00:15 |
| leontopod | using a static ip address | 00:15 |
| leontopod | so I do have internet connectivity right now | 00:15 |
| leontopod | it's just I want it to be wireless | 00:15 |
| leontopod | hmmm | 00:15 |
| leontopod | auto connect? | 00:15 |
| Darkwing | disable wireless and reenable it happens again. | 00:15 |
| leontopod | how? | 00:15 |
| Darkwing | gimme a sec | 00:17 |
| leontopod | ok | 00:17 |
| leontopod | it's working now | 00:17 |
| leontopod | I had to click on "Autoconnect" | 00:17 |
| Darkwing | Manage Connections > Connection name > Edit -- At the top | 00:18 |
| leontopod | ok wait | 00:19 |
| leontopod | where is "Manage Connections"? | 00:19 |
| leontopod | Darkwing, under System settings I see "Network Settings" | 00:20 |
| Darkwing | Sorry... the Network Management plasmoid | 00:20 |
| leontopod | but where is Network Management Plasmoid? | 00:20 |
| Darkwing | Bottom right. | 00:20 |
| leontopod | nothing in bottom right | 00:21 |
| leontopod | this is kubuntu, right? | 00:21 |
| leontopod | latest version | 00:21 |
| leontopod | Darkwing, bottom left has a "cashew" | 00:22 |
| leontopod | but bottom right there is nothing at all | 00:22 |
| leontopod | also, and more importantly, it's not letting me install Firefox | 00:23 |
| leontopod | "The package "firefox-kde-support" has not been found among your software... | 00:24 |
| leontopod | I don't understand, I have internet connectivity now | 00:24 |
| leontopod | shouldn't it be doing an apt-get under the covers? | 00:24 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: thepackahge you want is simply called kubuntu-firefox-installer | 00:29 |
| ronnoc | it willpull in all the additional integration packages needed | 00:29 |
| leontopod | ronnoc, how, though? | 00:30 |
| leontopod | I am clicking on the firefox icon and it is asking me if I want to install | 00:30 |
| leontopod | I click OK then I get that message | 00:30 |
| ronnoc | what version of kubuntu are you on? | 00:30 |
| leontopod | the very very latest | 00:30 |
| leontopod | do I have to open up a terminal and do an apt-get update? | 00:31 |
| ronnoc | the easiest way to install it would be to open Muon Package Manager and search for kubuntu-firefox-installer and install it | 00:32 |
| === jalcine is now known as JackyAlcine | ||
| ronnoc | no reason to use command line unless you wanted to | 00:32 |
| leontopod | Kubuntu 11.10_Live | 00:32 |
| leontopod | installed from usb flash drive | 00:32 |
| leontopod | on my netbook | 00:32 |
| ronnoc | yea open muon | 00:32 |
| leontopod | how? | 00:32 |
| leontopod | I thought I was familiar with KDE, using KDE 4 on Slackware | 00:32 |
| leontopod | but this is totally different | 00:33 |
| ronnoc | it's ok - click on the KDE icon on the lower left and in the search box type "muon" with no quotes | 00:33 |
| ronnoc | or you can press <alt> + <F2> and in the drop down box at the top of the screen (KRunner) just type muon - either way is OK | 00:34 |
| Darkwing | actually, krunner is disabled on netbook. The search bar in the middle of the screen is what shoudl be used. | 00:35 |
| trans-stilbene | wow. that's kind of a dud. | 00:35 |
| ronnoc | Darkwing: Ahhh Plasma Netbook - ok my bad | 00:35 |
| trans-stilbene | I liked krunner. | 00:35 |
| trans-stilbene | but what is the search in the middle of the screen? is it always there? | 00:35 |
| Darkwing | It's there (Installed) just disabled by default for freeing up hdw for netbooks. | 00:36 |
| trans-stilbene | which one is disabled by default? krunner? | 00:37 |
| Darkwing | Aye. | 00:37 |
| Darkwing | At least for the Kubuntu Netbook install | 00:37 |
| trans-stilbene | that might be good. | 00:38 |
| trans-stilbene | I have had quite a lot of problems with krunner crashing. | 00:38 |
| trans-stilbene | do you know if that is fixed yet? | 00:38 |
| Darkwing | Was there a bug filed? | 00:38 |
| Darkwing | Also, was it krunner or, akanodi with krunner? | 00:39 |
| trans-stilbene | I think the bug was filed. what is akanodi? | 00:39 |
| Darkwing | Or, nepomuk | 00:39 |
| trans-stilbene | oh | 00:40 |
| trans-stilbene | yeah, it could be nepomuk running amok, npi | 00:40 |
| Darkwing | :) | 00:40 |
| leontopod | lower left I see a cashew | 00:41 |
| trans-stilbene | I beg your pardon? | 00:42 |
| Darkwing | It would be at the top. It's the widget that shows your network connection. Right click then manage connections | 00:42 |
| leontopod | ok got muon up | 00:46 |
| leontopod | what now? | 00:46 |
| leontopod | I used the search bar to find it | 00:46 |
| ronnoc | search for kubuntu-firefox-installer | 00:47 |
| ronnoc | when oyu find it, right click and select "mark for installation" | 00:48 |
| leontopod | ronnoc it says it is installed | 00:48 |
| leontopod | do I click on it? | 00:48 |
| ronnoc | nah | 00:49 |
| ronnoc | what if you search for just firefox in muon? | 00:49 |
| leontopod | nope | 00:50 |
| ronnoc | ok then install it from tehre | 00:50 |
| ronnoc | *there | 00:50 |
| leontopod | install what? | 00:50 |
| ronnoc | firefox | 00:50 |
| leontopod | not found in muon | 00:50 |
| leontopod | there is firefox-local-en but that is installed | 00:51 |
| trans-stilbene | leontopod, you need to just wget the firefox binaries. what you have installed is most likely a non-working firefox INSTALLER. | 00:51 |
| trans-stilbene | I had that problem once. | 00:51 |
| leontopod | I think I will try a regular ubuntu install | 00:52 |
| leontopod | this kubuntu is fucking with my brain | 00:52 |
| trans-stilbene | up to you, but I think kubuntu is better. | 00:52 |
| ronnoc | but still in muon the base firefox package should show up | 00:52 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: I've installed Firefox from the live CD many times. It shouldn't be an issue. | 00:53 |
| === trans-stilbene is now known as poly-hexathiophe | ||
| === poly-hexathiophe is now known as stilbene | ||
| leontopod | ronnoc yeah it's weird | 00:56 |
| leontopod | let me try installing regular ubuntu and see if I get farther | 00:57 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: one last easy thing you could try 1st: | 00:57 |
| ronnoc | open the program "konsole" (KDE's terminal) | 00:57 |
| ronnoc | apt-get update | 00:57 |
| ronnoc | apt-get install firefox | 00:58 |
| ronnoc | should get it done | 00:58 |
| ronnoc | if not, something's hosed somewhere | 00:58 |
| leontopod | I miss the task bar a lot | 00:58 |
| leontopod | that's the real reason I wanted to try kubuntu | 00:58 |
| leontopod | but apparently it is turned off on netbooks =( | 00:58 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: you can turn it back to the desktop look I think | 01:03 |
| Darkwing | Yes, you can. | 01:03 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: You would select System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Workspace and where it says 'Netbook' you can change it to 'Desktop' | 01:04 |
| leontopod | cool thanks ronnoc | 01:06 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: :) | 01:06 |
| leontopod | ok now firefox is installing | 01:10 |
| leontopod | interesting | 01:10 |
| leontopod | thanks for that tip | 01:10 |
| leontopod | this is much more like the kde I am used to | 01:10 |
| leontopod | Darkwing, I never found that plasmoid | 01:10 |
| leontopod | how do I install it? | 01:10 |
| leontopod | I guess I have to install it? | 01:10 |
| ronnoc | he meant your Network Manager icon in the lower right of the tray (now that you're in Desktop mode). it's just KDE's network icon. | 01:17 |
| leontopod | oh | 01:24 |
| leontopod | ronnoc, ok | 01:24 |
| leontopod | what does the network manager icon look like? | 01:24 |
| leontopod | I am in desktop mode now | 01:24 |
| leontopod | I see a battery icon | 01:25 |
| leontopod | oh, found it | 01:26 |
| leontopod | thanks | 01:26 |
| leontopod | wow, this is nice | 01:26 |
| leontopod | I am doing all the updates | 01:26 |
| leontopod | there are hundreds of updates! | 01:26 |
| leontopod | what the! | 01:26 |
| FloodBotK2 | leontopod: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:26 |
| leontopod | !!!! | 01:27 |
| leontopod | =) | 01:27 |
| ronnoc | lol | 01:27 |
| ronnoc | there's no reason to update a live cd | 01:27 |
| leontopod | well I got a warning icon saying updates were available, ronnoc | 01:29 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: is your thumb drive install persistent? | 01:30 |
| leontopod | uhm, I installed from the thumb drive | 01:31 |
| leontopod | then it told me to remove the thumb drive and press enter | 01:32 |
| leontopod | so that's what I did | 01:32 |
| leontopod | so the thumb drive is currently not plugged into the netbook | 01:32 |
| leontopod | is that what you mean? | 01:32 |
| ronnoc | yepp. you're all good. | 01:34 |
| leontopod | ok =) | 01:36 |
| westmi | I need a partition editor | 01:36 |
| leontopod | I also need to find a printer driver for a Dell Color Printer 725 | 01:36 |
| leontopod | how would I search apt for something like that? | 01:36 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: plug your printer in and go to system settings again. Then go to Printer Configuration and add new printer. Most printers will install OK that way. If not, come back and we'll see. | 01:41 |
| leontopod | gah, this is on an ubuntu install | 01:41 |
| leontopod | and the woman I installed it for on her notebook has the notebook over at her house | 01:41 |
| ronnoc | westmi: in Kubuntu it's either called Partition Manager or KDE Partition Manager | 01:42 |
| leontopod | it's one of those deals "gee, Windows Vista just doesn't work any more, we just use this computer to screw around, what can you do?" "Oh, I'll install ubuntu!" A few days later she says OH BY THE WAY WE NEED TO PRINT | 01:42 |
| leontopod | *sigh* | 01:42 |
| leontopod | why are people so stupid? | 01:42 |
| ronnoc | leontopod: it's actually a lot easier since you're usually not chasing down drivers all over the Net | 01:43 |
| leontopod | ok | 01:43 |
| ronnoc | most are built into the Linux Kernel already | 01:43 |
| leontopod | but how can I tell if a Dell Color Printer 725 is built int, ronnoc? | 01:43 |
| leontopod | is there any list anywhere? | 01:43 |
| leontopod | s/int/in/ | 01:44 |
| ronnoc | www.openprinting.org is a good resource if you just wanted general linux printing help | 01:44 |
| leontopod | ok thanks | 01:44 |

| westmi | cannot install due to unresolved dependencies | 02:16 |
| almoxarife | westmi: i bet you got a ppa causing the issue | 02:17 |
| westmi | something about having thr right repo added or enabled | 02:17 |
| almoxarife | westmi: do you have all the repos enabled? | 02:18 |
| westmi | but I have no way of knowing what repository has the dependencies I need libparted0 | 02:18 |
| westmi | don't know... | 02:19 |
| almoxarife | westmi: what version? | 02:19 |
| westmi | kubuntu 10.04 | 02:19 |
| almoxarife | westmi: natty? | 02:19 |
| westmi | I'm just trying to format my usb thumbdrive | 02:20 |
| almoxarife | westmi: does you version include 'start-disk-creator'? or allow you to install it?? | 02:21 |
| westmi | and , for some reason cannot install gparted or partition manager due to unresolved dependencies | 02:21 |
| almoxarife | westmi: you can stop repeating yourself | 02:21 |
| westmi | k sorry | 02:21 |
| almoxarife | westmi: does you version include 'start-disk-creator'? or allow you to install it?? | 02:22 |
| westmi | yes, it does have start up disk creator | 02:22 |
| almoxarife | westmi: and does 'it' not allow you to format a usb? | 02:22 |
| westmi | idk...let me see...brb | 02:23 |
| westmi | "event sounds" is the beeps, or sounds that are associated with ...? | 02:24 |
| almoxarife | westmi: 'events' | 02:24 |
| westmi | like, notifications? | 02:25 |

| AndroidLoverInSF | how can i enable the proprietary graphics drivers in kde? | 02:37 |
| westmi | AndroidLoverInSF, hardware drivers | 02:39 |
| westmi | klaunch>applications>system>hardware drivers | 02:41 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | under system-settings, hardware, i just see 'device actions', 'display and monitor', 'information sources', input devices', 'power management', 'removeable devices', 'multimedia'. i'm on ubuntu 11.04 kde | 02:41 |
| westmi | AndroidLoverInSF, you can pick and chose which drivers you want to use there | 02:42 |
| westmi | AndroidLoverInSF, AFAIK, your looking in the wrong place | 02:43 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | i cant find 'hardware drivers' under 'system' | 02:45 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | i'm going intou ubuntu software center and search there | 02:46 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | but i dont know what kind of card i have | 02:46 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | do i need to enable some other 'other software' under the update manager | 02:50 |
| leontopod | ok I am updating and it has been stuck at "running dpkg" at 52% for an hour now | 02:58 |
| leontopod | is it stuck? | 02:58 |
| leontopod | wow | 03:20 |
| leontopod | I had to remove the battery to reboot my netbook | 03:20 |
| leontopod | I guess kubuntu is now in an undefined state | 03:20 |
| Kimlaroux | I think you can still recover it | 03:20 |
| leontopod | well I was able to reboot | 03:21 |
| leontopod | and it booted clean as far as I can tell | 03:21 |
| Kimlaroux | and it booted? | 03:21 |
| leontopod | but I don't know what state it's in | 03:21 |
| leontopod | it's a "down machine", as they say in the industry | 03:21 |
| leontopod | until it is checked out | 03:21 |
| Kimlaroux | you were updating from what to what? | 03:21 |
| leontopod | I installed kubuntu on my netbook using a thumb drive | 03:22 |
| leontopod | that all worked fine | 03:22 |
| leontopod | it didn't look like kde at first, not the kde that I am used to | 03:22 |
| leontopod | but I was able to get help with that | 03:22 |
| leontopod | and now it looks like the kde I am familiar with | 03:22 |
| leontopod | except, there was a yellow icon screaming at me to run updates | 03:22 |
| leontopod | so I clicked on it | 03:23 |
| leontopod | and it started doing hundreds of updates | 03:23 |
| Kimlaroux | outch | 03:23 |
| leontopod | then it started "running dpkg" | 03:23 |
| leontopod | and got stuck at 52% | 03:23 |
| leontopod | so what did I do wrong? | 03:23 |
| leontopod | I have no idea | 03:23 |
| Kimlaroux | when you go to your package tool and refresh the updates, does it list any? | 03:23 |
| leontopod | where is the package tool? | 03:23 |
| leontopod | and what btw is dpkg? | 03:24 |
| Kimlaroux | dpkg is the tool that takes care of the packages on your system, it installs them, configure them and keeps them up to date | 03:24 |
| leontopod | wow, it crashed | 03:24 |
| leontopod | that can't be good | 03:24 |
| leontopod | my system is in an undefined state right now | 03:25 |
| leontopod | I think I am going to reinstall from scratch | 03:25 |
| leontopod | and try just plain ubuntu this time | 03:25 |
| Kimlaroux | meh | 03:25 |
| Kimlaroux | you could try to do "dpkg-reconfigure -all | 03:26 |
| Kimlaroux | this will redo everything dpkg was doing when it hung | 03:26 |

| krise | Hi all | 08:42 |
| krise | how can i reset KDE to default settings | 08:43 |
| susundbe1g | remove your home directory should do it | 08:46 |
| ts2 | krise: all your users settings for KDE are stored in the ~/.kde directory, you can just remove (or rename) that directory | 08:46 |
| susundbe1g | or even ~/.kde | 08:46 |
| krise__ | ts2 is it the folder usr/share/kde4 ? | 08:52 |
| ts2 | krise__: no, don't touch anything in /usr, just the .kde folder in your home directory | 08:53 |
| susundbe1g | krise__: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde_old as ts2 said sounds wise .. | 08:53 |
| krise__ | ts2 i dont see kde folder in my home directory | 08:54 |
| ts2 | krise__: it starts with a dot "." which denotes a hidden file/directory | 08:54 |
| krise__ | sorry guys i need step by step help | 08:55 |
| ts2 | krise__: just open a terminal and run "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde_old" | 08:56 |
| krise__ | mv: missing destination file operand after `/home/krise/.kde' | 08:57 |
| krise__ | Try `mv --help' for more information. | 08:57 |
| RedAshes | hey this is weird.. I'm trying to rm -r this folder, and it keeps saying "cannot remove, folder not empty"... the folder IS empty. I have tried everything I can to delete this folder and nothing works! wtf is goin on? | 08:57 |
| ts2 | krise__: you missed the second part "~/.kde_old" | 08:57 |
| krise__ | ts2 , nothing happens | 08:58 |
| ts2 | RedAshes: there may be hidden (dot) files inside it (especially if you got it from svn/bzr), but you can force it by adding the -f option to rm | 08:58 |
| krise__ | krise@krise-HP-ProBook-4520s:~$ mv ~/.kde ~/.kde_old | 08:58 |
| krise__ | krise@krise-HP-ProBook-4520s:~$ | 08:58 |
| ts2 | krise__: no error message means there was no error :) | 08:58 |
| krise__ | well thats great :) | 08:59 |
| ts2 | so you can just log out and then back in, and you should have the default settings | 08:59 |
| krise__ | so what now | 08:59 |
| RedAshes | okay, -f is not working | 08:59 |
| krise__ | ok | 08:59 |
| RedAshes | and there are no hidden files in it, I checked | 08:59 |
| RedAshes | in fact... the files in the folder disappeared when I first tried rm -r, which should have removed it regardless of files | 08:59 |
| ts2 | RedAshes: what exactly do you mean by "not working"? | 09:00 |
| RedAshes | I mean its giving me the same error | 09:00 |
| RedAshes | "cannot remove, folder not empty" | 09:00 |
| RedAshes | dude it should have deleted it from rm -r | 09:00 |
| ts2 | try running "ls -AR" on the directory, see what it outputs | 09:01 |
| RedAshes | dude... it has one file in it.. .fuse | 09:01 |
| RedAshes | I have ALREADY RMED THAT FILE 5 TIMES | 09:01 |
| RedAshes | it's still there | 09:01 |
| RedAshes | ok | 09:01 |
| ts2 | what directory are you removing? | 09:01 |
| RedAshes | and besides that, rm -r is supposed to remove it REGARDLESS of files inside | 09:02 |
| RedAshes | I have used rm -r a bunch of times on folders with hundreds of files | 09:02 |
| RedAshes | Im trying to get rid of Kottonmouth Kings - Royal Highness | 09:02 |
| ts2 | -r just means recursive, -f tries harder without prompting | 09:02 |
| RedAshes | uhm, I used -f | 09:03 |
| RedAshes | it refuses to delete the directory dude | 09:03 |
| ts2 | use -r and -f together, "rm -rf ....." | 09:03 |
| RedAshes | I did | 09:03 |
| RedAshes | dude | 09:03 |
| RedAshes | what part of I have done that already do you not understand | 09:03 |
| RedAshes | it refuses to delete the directory | 09:03 |
| RedAshes | do I need to paste it for u | 09:03 |
| ts2 | I would suggest you watch your attitude, all help here is voluntary | 09:04 |
| RedAshes | I seriously want rid of this folder | 09:04 |
| RedAshes | and it wont delete it | 09:04 |
| kbroulik | is it just me or does KDE 4.8 (or is it Precise's fault? dunno anymore if it happened before the upgrade to 4.8) no longer remember a configured screen resolution at all? | 09:04 |
| RedAshes | and I have tried everything you're suggesting already | 09:04 |
| RedAshes | thanks for the help | 09:04 |

| FloodBotK2 | RedAshes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:05 |
| ts2 | what is the output of "mount" (use the paste link above to pose) | 09:06 |
| RedAshes | http://paste.ubuntu.com/799123/ | 09:06 |
| ts2 | I said the output of "mount" | 09:06 |
| RedAshes | http://paste.ubuntu.com/799124/ | 09:07 |
| RedAshes | there ya go | 09:07 |
| RedAshes | btw I copied this folder from a windows computer that had had a pretty bad virus on it, so maybe that has something to do with it | 09:09 |
| ts2 | RedAshes: for some reason fuse doesn't want to release that directory, but try running the rm command with sudo, it should get it before fuse can re-add the file | 09:10 |
| RedAshes | okay | 09:11 |
| RedAshes | I already tried it with sudo, but not using -f | 09:11 |
| RedAshes | okay didn't work | 09:12 |
| RedAshes | http://paste.ubuntu.com/799126/ | 09:12 |
| krise_ | ts2 thanks | 09:13 |
| RedAshes | earlier when I played the songs using mpg123 it sounded like they were chipmunks | 09:13 |
| RedAshes | then the files disappeared | 09:13 |
| krise_ | lost all my passwords do | 09:13 |
| RedAshes | its a cursed folder | 09:13 |
| ts2 | RedAshes: ok, you should try un-mounting the device and then re-mounting it again, see if it helps | 09:14 |
| RedAshes | i hope it isn't corrupting the rest of my data cuz I bought all those albums... will try that now | 09:14 |
| ts2 | krise_: this is why you renamed the directory rather than removing it, just copy over ~/.kde_old/share/apps/kwallet to ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet to get the KDE Wallet back | 09:15 |
| krise_ | ok thanks | 09:16 |
| RedAshes | haha it worked | 09:16 |
| RedAshes | thanks a lot | 09:16 |
| ts2 | no problem | 09:17 |
| RedAshes | I wonder why that happened | 09:18 |
| ts2 | fuse can be odd, it does all kind of strange things, especially on NTFS | 09:20 |
| RedAshes | could it have been related to me using KAlarm to set up a command to play me a song in the morning off that drive? | 09:21 |
| ts2 | I doubt it, I think it has to do with how fuse and NTFS handle deleted files | 09:23 |
| RedAshes | okay thanks g2g to sleep bye all | 09:23 |
| RedAshes | dang, just had 2 say one more thing.. that kinda makes me feel dumb cuz.. I probably didn't even have to delete that folder. Well, now I know to make sure that my files are messed up before rming something. Thanks for the help, and this OS is awesome for a free OS, it works a lot better for my purposes than any windows I ever had. If I knew more about computer science I might not have made a mistake like that... too bad, guess I now gotta get another | 09:52 |

| CharlieSheen | Hi, guys. | 16:57 |
| CharlieSheen | I have a huge question, that kind've reverts to my question yesterday. I have a link here, you can see it is safe, it lists the drivers for my system's network card and stuff. How...do I get the drivers? http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=97135&prodSeriesId=96306&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093#11395 | 16:58 |
| ts2 | CharlieSheen: usually you don't download them from the vendor, because they are under the belief that Windows is the only OS in the universe. most of the time though, Ubuntu ships the drivers you need anyway | 17:00 |
| CharlieSheen | TS2 - How do i find them, though? | 17:10 |
| ts2 | try out the live cd, if everything works then they are built-in | 17:10 |
| CharlieSheen | Well, ya see, my friend got rid of his windows xp partition, and now only have kubuntu 11.10 | 17:13 |
| CharlieSheen | So he cant go check his software like that, and has no option as far as a live cd goes | 17:13 |
| ts2 | if they have Kubuntu installed, and everything works, then he doesn't need any drivers | 17:14 |
| CharlieSheen | ts2 - Wireless won't connect or even show wireless connections available lol | 17:20 |

| almoxarife | lordjj: oh, yeah forgot, and its a stable desktop! without the need for 100 ppa just to have icons | 20:33 |
| lordjj | almoxarife well I'm planning on going Arch in a few weeks, so I am interested in what DEs are available. Regarding KDE, it seems from some screenshots I've seen that fonts aren't well anti-aliased. Correct me if I'm wrong. | 20:34 |
| lordjj | That was my main issue with e17 also. | 20:35 |
| almoxarife | lordjj: i run plasma-oxygen, i dont see it, but i dont have alot of screen to scrutinize | 20:35 |
| lordjj | what's plasma-oxygen? A wm / composting manager for KDE? | 20:36 |
| almoxarife | lordjj: how will arch improve things? | 20:36 |
| almoxarife | lordjj: the composting is xrender or opengl ? | 20:36 |
| lordjj | almoxarife it won't, just saying that I do plan on testing with a bunch of DEs. | 20:36 |

| Aerodinamic | it freezed but it's not important | 21:27 |
| Aerodinamic | but how i run/execute grub | 21:27 |
| Aerodinamic | i have located a folder under boot but i dont know how to run it | 21:27 |
| lordjj | you don't run it. | 21:28 |
| Aerodinamic | text edit?? | 21:28 |
| lordjj | It's something that handles what boot options you have on startup | 21:28 |
| lordjj | let me explain... | 21:28 |
| Aerodinamic | ok xD | 21:28 |
| lordjj | This is the grub screen http://blog.siliconforks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ubuntu-out-of-range-grub.png Aerodinamic | 21:29 |
| lordjj | It appears when you first turn on the pc. | 21:29 |
| lordjj | If you have another OS installed, it will appear as an option there. | 21:29 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic what would you like to know? | 21:30 |
| lordjj | almoxarife you set anti-aliasing? Can I see now? (Might be called sub-pixel rendering) | 21:31 |
| Aerodinamic | yes, it used to appear but I still dont know why it loads automatically another OS... I have kubuntu installed, and an old messed windows xp which i would like to format but completely newbie on linux i'm lost | 21:31 |
| almoxarife | lordjj: i dont see much diff, slight maybe, i dont have the discremenating eye anymore, perhaps because i am going blinder everyday | 21:33 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic if I understand correctly, you installed Windows after you already had a linux distro installed, and now it just boots directly to windows? | 21:33 |
| lordjj | almoxarife :P | 21:33 |
| Aerodinamic | if i could almost setup the boot order from kubuntu live cd i'll be happy | 21:33 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic do I understand your problem correctly? | 21:34 |
| Aerodinamic | oooops sorry i didn't readed some lines, one sec... | 21:34 |
| Aerodinamic | not exactly, i had an old win xp installed which was corrupt then i decided to install kubuntu, then i changed the HD to another computer because the other one almost was dead but on the new harward it runs automatically win xp without giving me the chance to chhose kubuntu | 21:36 |
| Aerodinamic | choose | 21:37 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic do you have another harddrive that was already on that pc? | 21:37 |
| Aerodinamic | yes | 21:37 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic ok then you need to change your hard drive boot order from the BIOS | 21:38 |
| Aerodinamic | but its not conneceted now | 21:38 |
| lordjj | oh... | 21:38 |
| lordjj | what? Then where is XP from? I though you said it was corrupt. | 21:38 |
| Aerodinamic | yes, but he tries to load | 21:38 |
| lordjj | So is there only 1 hard drive connected now? | 21:39 |
| almoxarife | lordjj: see any diff? http://imagebin.org/192930 | 21:39 |
| Aerodinamic | yes, one with an old winxp and with a kubunto, both installed on the old hardware where i transplanted the hd from... | 21:40 |
| Aerodinamic | yes, one with an old winxp and with a kubuntu, both installed on the old hardware where i transplanted the hd from... | 21:41 |
| Aerodinamic | sorry for repeating i thought the doskey could work | 21:41 |
| lordjj | almoxarife no :P | 21:42 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic well, was there another hard drive from the pc you took it from? | 21:43 |
| Aerodinamic | no, it was the unique HD on the almost dead pc | 21:44 |
| Aerodinamic | i just want to setup the os boot order from kubuntu live cd, where i'm now, is it possible? | 21:45 |
| lordjj | almoxarife look at the fonts here http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/24/Ubuntu_synaptic.png | 21:46 |
| lordjj | thats what I mean by smoother | 21:46 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic well I can't imagine why OS boot order would change, but I guess you can update or reinstall grub. | 21:47 |
| Aerodinamic | maybe from KDE partition administrator? | 21:47 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 21:47 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic if you want to delete the windows partition and see what happens you can do that from partition manager | 21:48 |
| lordjj | But you'll probably have to reinstall or update grub | 21:48 |
| Aerodinamic | thxs lordjj, i'm almost completely newbie on linux and pretty lost xP | 21:48 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic see "Reinstalling grub 2" : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 | 21:49 |
| Aerodinamic | ok, thxs! for now i will read a while, i have info on that hd i dont want to loose by an stupid mistake ;( thxs again!! xD | 21:50 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic there's a special 100mb or so LiveCD that I recommend | 21:50 |
| Aerodinamic | Hiren's boot cd? | 21:51 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic it lets you fix grub related issues. You boot from the CD and there's a tool (boot-repair) that let's you fix grub with one click | 21:51 |
| lordjj | Let me search for it | 21:51 |
| Aerodinamic | that's perfect for me xD | 21:51 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic this is it: | 21:52 |
| lordjj | http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/ | 21:52 |
| Aerodinamic | thxs man!!! | 21:52 |
| lordjj | Boot Repair Disc. Boot it, run the program "boot repair" | 21:52 |
| lordjj | and try "recommended repair" | 21:52 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic, more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 21:53 |
| Aerodinamic | but i have to burn the cd right? | 21:53 |
| lordjj | Yes | 21:53 |
| Aerodinamic | okok | 21:53 |
| lordjj | Aerodinamic make sure to read up before you do anything :) | 21:53 |
| lordjj | especially the last link I gave you | 21:53 |
| Aerodinamic | yes, i'll do it xDD | 21:53 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| Aerodinamic | thxs again xD | 21:54 |
| lordjj | Good luck. If it doesn't work, try reinstalling grub manually like in the 1st link I gave you. | 21:54 |
| Aerodinamic | ok ;) a lot to read xD | 21:56 |

| alonewolf | I have installed samba gui and when I click on it nothing happens.Can anyone help? | 22:58 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: what version? | 23:01 |
| alonewolf | version? I have latest kubuntu and installed latest samba then few minuts ago installed samba gui and nothing loads. | 23:02 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: I don't see it in the packages apt-cache search samba | grep gui | 23:03 |
| alonewolf | installed with synapt manager | 23:04 |
| DerezzedGoat | smb4k? | 23:04 |
| alonewolf | 2:3.5.11 it shows | 23:05 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: did you try using dolphin to browse the network? I am trying to figure out what you are using... | 23:05 |
| alonewolf | and system-config-samba 1.2.63 | 23:05 |
| alonewolf | no | 23:06 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: what exactly are you trying to do? Dolphin has worked for me.. (in the past.. ) | 23:06 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: I just click network, then samba shares, and I am browsing away | 23:07 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: and if I want to share, I can right click on the folder, and tell it to share | 23:09 |
| alonewolf | ok I have 3 computers.2 have kubuntu on them and one has windos xp. one of the linux comp. has a secound drive from when i used vista. left it as is so it is ntfs ,trying to make home network. | 23:09 |
| zacarias | How do you take snapshots or screencasts with kubuntu? | 23:09 |
| DerezzedGoat | zacarias: screen shots, Hit the print screen button. an excelent tool pops up that is very user friendly | 23:09 |
| alonewolf | print screen button | 23:10 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: you want to network the kubuntus? | 23:10 |
| alonewolf | yes | 23:10 |
| DerezzedGoat | zacarias: as for screencasts... hopefully someone else can help, I ended up googling and having to copy stuff | 23:10 |
| zacarias | DerezzedGoat: Thanks! | 23:11 |
| DerezzedGoat | zacarias: and convert formats... any linux tool should work for screen casts | 23:11 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: pick a folder with dolphin within your home folder and right click, see properties? | 23:12 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: do you want to share files from the kubuntu, or get to a folder on you xp, or both? | 23:12 |
| alonewolf | yes i have done that first time i did was a botton to install samba i installed it. | 23:13 |
| alonewolf | still not understanding this nwtworking. | 23:13 |
| mushroomblue | anyone know why bash would say "/usr/bin/skype: no such file or directory" when /usr/bin/skype exists? I did an apt-get purge and reinstall, and still getting the message. | 23:13 |
| rats__ | zacarias: try this ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq ~/my_video.mpg for screencast - just change screen res to your screen res | 23:13 |
| alonewolf | networking sorry. | 23:14 |
| zacarias | I don't see any menu with "shutdown" or "restart" options. I usually make use of the CLI commands for that. Is there a GUI interface for that (like there is one for Xubuntu, Lubuntu or Ubuntu)? | 23:14 |
| zacarias | rays_: this is a terminal command? | 23:14 |
| zacarias | rats_ :is this a terminal command? | 23:15 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: networking the various machines requires you decide what folders from what machines are visible, visibility is decided by the OS using its own method | 23:15 |
| rats__ | yes | 23:15 |
| rats__ | works well for me | 23:15 |
| alonewolf | ok i understand that | 23:15 |
| rats__ | ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq ~/my_video.mpg | 23:15 |
| alonewolf | the problem is that samba is asking for password i did not set one | 23:16 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: that is fun... it has always been a problem for me too now that I thin kabout it. | 23:16 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: samba in what app? o | 23:17 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: try a username on the other computer | 23:17 |
| zacarias | rats_: how do you stop it? | 23:17 |
| DerezzedGoat | and leave the password blank (if you made it so it does not need authentication) | 23:17 |
| alonewolf | i tried on both i put the information for me to login to my comp nothing | 23:17 |
| alonewolf | tried with other one to and nothing | 23:18 |
| alonewolf | will not let me login | 23:18 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: this and that, speak linux and windows | 23:18 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: I had to do that a few times... also trying guest. double check the share information as almoxarife suggested | 23:18 |
| alonewolf | thought the gui would help | 23:19 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: still don't know what gui you are using... | 23:19 |
| rats__ | zac press q | 23:19 |
| zacarias | rats_: and for saving options, etc.? | 23:20 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: and tag your conversation to a nick, i am getting tired of paying attention to you if i am not the recipient | 23:20 |
| alonewolf | would the information from the change log help | 23:20 |
| rats__ | it saves in home file | 23:20 |
| alonewolf | how do i tag? | 23:21 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: tag your conversation to a nick, this is not your floor show | 23:21 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: type his name almoxarife | 23:21 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: <-- tagged to you! | 23:21 |
| rats__ | did it work zacarias | 23:21 |
| alonewolf | almoxarife | 23:21 |
| DerezzedGoat | alonewolf: that is tagging it, Typically you always include peoples names when you are talking tot hem ina busy room | 23:22 |
| almoxarife | alonewolf: try typing after the tag now what is what | 23:22 |

| kkerwin | Hi. Looking to download the qdbusviewer program. What package might that be in? | 23:26 |
| zacarias | rats_: it did. It's not the most starighforward way of doing it, but it works. I can always configure a keyboard shortcut (for starting it it's easy, for stopping I don't know very well how). Thanks! | 23:27 |
| kkerwin | Ah. Found it. | 23:28 |
| kkerwin | I think ... | 23:28 |
| mushroomblue | anyone know why bash would say "/usr/bin/skype: no such file or directory" when /usr/bin/skype exists? I did an apt-get purge and reinstall, and still getting the message. | 23:28 |
| fatum | Hello. My Plasma desktop shell closed unexpectedly again. http://paste.kde.org/184904/ <= developer information from a crash | 23:28 |
| kkerwin | mushroomblue: Checked file permissions? Do you have read and execute permissions on the file? | 23:29 |
| kkerwin | mushroomblue: ls -l /usr/bin/skype to double check. | 23:29 |
| mushroomblue | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21362968 2011-06-08 05:26 /usr/bin/skype | 23:33 |
| mushroomblue | seems normal. | 23:33 |
| mushroomblue | /bin/sh and /bin/bash both saying file not found. | 23:33 |
| mushroomblue | at this point, I'm about to just reinstall out of frustration. | 23:33 |
| mushroomblue | had a .Private file corrupt today as well. | 23:34 |
| kkerwin | mushroomblue: Ok. Strange question, but do a "echo $PATH". | 23:43 |
| kkerwin | mushroomblue: Check that /usr/bin is in there... | 23:44 |
| mushroomblue | /usr/bin is in there. | 23:44 |
| kkerwin | mushroomblue: Thought so. | 23:44 |
| zacarias | what button or menu do you use to restart or shtdown Kubuntu? | 23:44 |
| mushroomblue | /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 23:44 |
| kkerwin | mushroomblue: Perhaps you have a bad hard drive, that resulted in your .Private file corrupting, as well as this issue with skype? | 23:45 |
| mushroomblue | normally, the shutdown widget inside lancelot. all of this started after rebooting after waking up from sleep mode. | 23:45 |
| mushroomblue | kkerwin: thinking so. | 23:45 |
| mushroomblue | brand new netbook, though. | 23:45 |
| kkerwin | Hrm. Maybe you can check the md5sum of the skype binary, and compare it against what's on packages.ubuntu.org. | 23:46 |
| kkerwin | If the sums are different, then you know you have some kind of corruption. | 23:47 |
