[00:00] <kkerwin> streetfighter: Doing ok?
[00:01] <streetfighter> that is taking me too much time ?
[00:02] <kkerwin> Well, I just wanted to make sure that you weren't confused.
[00:04] <zacarias> how do you change your default login manager when you have severl desktops? I'm running Kubuntu but, when I logout, I always have GDM.
[00:06] <Torch> zacarias: might be sufficient to just modify /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[00:06] <Torch> zacarias: haven't tried though
[00:08] <zacarias> Torch: I'll try that. Tx
[00:17] <Zacarias> Torch: Well, I tried that and I ended up with no DM. I just have a prompt, I made login, but no X. How do I start X?
[00:17] <Torch> Zacarias: if that does not immediately work, i suggest you undo your changes.
[00:19] <Torch> Zacarias: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[00:20] <Torch> Zacarias: it might ask if you want to set kdm as your default display manager
[00:20] <Zacarias> Yes, I did it from the prompt. Now I'm trying to reboot. It will probably work.
[00:20] <Torch> Zacarias: it does not for me because i don't have any other dm installed, but i dimly remember... ok.
[00:21] <Zacarias> Torch: ok, I'll try that also. (I'm writing from a Mac). There it is, the GDM.
[00:27] <speedyone> hey
[00:31] <Zacarias> Torch: it did work! Thanks
[00:32] <Torch> Zacarias: yw
[00:37] <streetfighter> good day every body  and thank you kkerwin
[00:38] <Programmer_> any idea why when i do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade everything on my system wants to uninstall
[01:10] <ScottyK> Is kubuntu 11.10 too much to handle on an old computer with an AMD XP 1500 CPU, and 1.5GB RAM?
[01:17] <lethu> ScottyK, not if you disable all the resource demanding eye-candy
[01:18] <lethu> ScottyK, otherwise I would advise going with a lighter desktop environment
[01:18] <lethu> like OpenBox
[01:19] <lethu> or xfce
[01:27] <ScottyK> Lethu - I was thinking Xubuntu as the backup, thanks for heads up!
[01:30] <lethu> ScottyK, yw
[02:16] <Guest9457> I'm trying to upgrade to kubunutu 11.10 from ubuntu 10.10 without doing a clean install how would I go about doing that?
[02:17] <EvilResistance> Guest9457:  you'd have to do incremental upgrades...
[02:17] <EvilResistance> Guest9457:  are you trying to switch from KDE to GNOME/Unity, or do you want to keep KDE?
[02:18] <Guest9457> I'm already using GNOME and want to go into KDE
[02:18] <EvilResistance> Guest9457:  ah.
[02:18] <Guest9457> I'm going Ubuntu [02:18] <EvilResistance> Guest9457:  i see.  you can *start* by installing kubuntu-desktop from the repos
[02:18] <EvilResistance> i saw your statement and reread your older one
[02:18] <Guest9457> okay
[02:19] <Guest9457> how would I go about doing that?
[02:19] <EvilResistance> Guest9457:  in terminal: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:19] <EvilResistance> note you'll have a TON of stuff that gets downloaded
[02:20] <EvilResistance> (the gnome stuff will still exist, i know there's a method for removing it but i dont remember what it is)
[02:20] <Guest9457> it will leave a bunch of kde jive in with my gnome right?
[02:20] <EvilResistance> it'll add a bunch of KDE stuff to your installation
[02:20] <EvilResistance> the GNOME stuff will still exist...
[02:20] <EvilResistance> but it wont display well in KDE
[02:20] <Guest9457> okay that's fine
[02:21] <EvilResistance> after its done installing all the stuff from kubuntu-desktop, you'll need to do release upgrades twice... once to get to 11.04 Natty, and then another time to get to 11.10 Oneiric
[02:21] <EvilResistance> that command is sudo do-release-upgrade
[02:21] <EvilResistance> BUT BEFORE YOU RUN THAT
[02:21] <EvilResistance> back up your files
[02:21] <FloodBotK3> EvilResistance: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:22] <Guest9457> oh yeah I meant 11.10
[02:22] <EvilResistance> in case the thing explodes and your system breaks.
[02:22] <Guest9457> I'm already on oneiric
[02:22] <EvilResistance> Guest9457:  ah.  if you're on oneiric, just install kubuntu-desktop
[02:22] <EvilResistance> then you'll be fine
[02:23] <Guest9457> neat thanks
[03:28] <Programmer_> any idea why when i do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade everything on my system wants to uninstall
[03:33] <EvilResistance> Programmer_:  are you trying to upgrade to the next version of ubuntu, or no?
[03:33] <EvilResistance> (dist-upgrade is kinda wonky btw)
[03:39] <Guest62415> tring to network 2 linux computers for file sharing  i do the right click on a folder go to the tab share and it has a tab to install samba it will not let me shae.thought samba was for linux to windows? how can i fix this?
[03:41] <Programmer_> EvilResistance, whatever dist-upgrade does
[03:41] <Programmer_> now i cant even boot the new kernel for some reason
[03:48] <w30> part
[03:56] <Guest62415> so, does anyone know why it wants my to install samba?
, so you can share folders
[05:19] <arinov_> i want connect kubuntu to network printer for windows via samba
[05:19] <arinov_> when i brows network it see nothing
[05:19] <arinov_> printer works with ubuntu, but in kubuntu i cant find it
[05:20] <arinov_> help me to fix it, what packages i have to install?
[05:20] <arinov_> computer with printer available and i can download files from shared folder
[05:21] <arinov_> but i cant see printers
[05:31] <arinov_> and how can i set static ip, network manager does not use my custom connection
[05:33] <arinov_> is there anybody? =)
[05:34] <EvilResistance> this is one of the slightly slower periods, you may have to wait a couple of hours to get a decent response...
[05:34] <EvilResistance> !Patience
[05:34] <arinov_> ok
[06:36] <arinov_> help me with smb printer configuration please
[06:44] <betornillo> ?
[06:49] <arinov_> betornillo: i am trying to connect to windows netork printer via samba
[06:49] <boehmer> hello
[06:49] <boehmer> somebody can help with issues with akonadi?
[06:49] <arinov_> printer configuration program cant find printer
[06:50] <boehmer> when using kmail it complains akonadi doesn't work. i figured out that i might have multiple mysql's running. the report says akonadi server and nepomuk aren't registered at d-bus
[06:50] <boehmer> i once used fedora and moved my /home to kubuntu
[06:51] <boehmer> since then it's screwed. when writing mails kmail completely freezes after some sentences or when sending the mail
[06:51] <boehmer> definitely need to fix that issue but fail on my own:( already worked through http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_4.4/Troubleshooting
[06:59] <arinov_> is there a commercial support of kubuntu?
[07:02] <ts2> arinov_: yes, the same as for Ubuntu
[07:03] <ts2> but unless you want to buy a contract from Canonical, you'll have to search it out from a third party
[07:05] <arinov_> ts2: why in ubuntu my printer via samba works fine out of the box, but not in kubuntu?
[07:05] <arinov_> what is wrong?
[07:05] <arinov_> the same version
[07:06] <arinov_> the same cups
[07:06] <arinov_> the same printer, network and system
[07:06] <ts2> I can't say, but it should work exactly the same as far as I can think of
[07:06] <ts2> but I don't use a printer at all now, so I can't really offer any help
[07:06] <arinov_> ok
[07:07] <ts2> arinov_: the only thing I found was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[07:08] <ts2> but it looks Ubuntu (gnome) based
[07:08] <arinov_> ubuntu printer configuration tool works, kubuntu's does not
[07:08] <arinov_> i am trying to find out why
[09:14] <Savior> hi
[09:14] <Savior> can someone tell me how to install a new system language?
[09:28] <saksham> hi
[09:29] <saksham> hello
[09:38] <bdizzle> hi, I need some help with setting the application command and work path on the icon settings
[09:39] <bdizzle> I am trying to set it up so that when I click the icon, it launches konsole, then pipes two or three commands to konsole to run the program I want
[09:40] <bdizzle> I also need help permanently setting a system variable path. I tried using export, but it has a case of memory loss as soon as I close the terminal window
[09:50] <bdizzle> or another idea would be to somehow get terminal to acknowledge the command "root" to open CERN's ROOT so that I don't have to go into konsole, type ". /$HOME/root/bin/thisroot.sh" and then "root" each time I want to use the program
[11:43] <FloodBotK3> !netsplit
[12:17] <joan__> please, does anybody know how to ged rid of gnoem and unity? I installed them because there's an app caled Sigil for editing epub files that doesn't work in kde
[12:17] <joan__> *gnome
[12:18] <joan__> I've searched on the Internet but haven't found anything that *really* works
[12:20] <Peace-> joan__: seach this pure kde
[12:20] <Peace->  joan__http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[12:20] <Peace->  joan__ http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[12:20] <joan__> ok, let's see
[12:26] <HorusHorrendus> bambee: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmygpo-qt/+bug/914720 <- I think (I'm not good in understanding this bug, it sounds strange) they want to have libmygpo-qt in main ... I think you packaged it for the ppa or?
[12:26] <HorusHorrendus> wanna get your package into main or take care of that stuff ;)
[12:59] <SeanTater> When reinstalling (k)ubuntu, do you need to install/setup anything in order to detect  an existing software RAID array
[13:14] <eichi> hello. I changed /etc/hostname but not /etc/hosts -> now sudo seems not to run anymore! what can I do now?
[13:15] <eichi> thats why I cant change the /etc/hosts now ;D
[13:19] <SeanTater> eichi: for future reference I think this is what the program "hostname" is for. ;P But the only way i can think of that you could change /etc/hosts is by booting into recovery mode and then selecting a root prompt when it boots
[13:19] <SeanTater> There might be a way of getting around it though --
[13:20] <SeanTater> Maybe you could open it with a graphical text editor? I think they use policykit instead so it might work, but I wouldn't swear to it
[13:23] <eichi> SeanTater: which gui editor I can use, which promts for password?
[13:24] <eichi> but no problem, I use recovery mode
[13:24] <eichi> its just kubuntu in virtual box ;) boots in seconds
[13:26] <eichi> hm, I thought ESC gives my grub promt?
[13:27] <DerezzedGoat> eichi: you may need to press and hold earlier
[13:28] <eichi> DerezzedGoat: okay, sounds like a reaction game ;) I will try
[13:29] <eichi> hm. maybe its a problem with virtualbox, that it pipes the ESC to late to guest system :(
[13:31] <SeanTater> Failing that, you could always boot the install CD and edit the file from there.
[13:32] <SeanTater> You'll still need to use sudo but I don't think there's a password on the install/live cd
[13:34] <caius_> hello
[13:35] <caius_> can someone help me in solving a kubuntu problem?
[13:35] <eichi> okay, now use a ubuntu live cd in VM - never thought that changing hostname in linux can costs my so much time ;D
[13:35] <eichi> caius_: maybe?
[13:36] <aprol> hi aLL
[13:36] <caius_> eichi: i installesd yesterday kubuntu 11.10
[13:36] <SeanTater> eichi: Usually it doesn't ;P
[13:36] <eichi> caius_: thats the idea of this channel - but you have to tell your problem first - hard to help you at the moment
[13:36] <SeanTater> eichi: You could probably mount the virtual disk as a volume but I don't know off hand how. It's probably tougher tha booting a live cd
[13:36] <caius_> iǜe got a system message that there are updates availeble
[13:37] <caius_> i wanted to install them
[13:37] <SeanTater> eichi: unfortunately I have to go; bye
[13:37] <caius_> but the system hang up
[13:37] <eichi> SeanTater: bye
[13:39] <caius_> today i wanted to install pidgin and muon said that there is another program for software install is already running
[13:40] <caius_> and i have to close it first
[13:40] <eichi> caius_: maybe your update process canceled at some point?
[13:40] <eichi> try
[13:40] <eichi> sudo apt-get --configure -a
[13:40] <ts2> !aptfix
[13:41] <ts2> ^ the first command kills anything that may be locking the dpkg database
[13:42] <eichi> ts2: oh it was dkpg thought apt-get has this too ;)
[13:42] <eichi> dpkg
[13:42] <ts2> eichi: apt-get is just a front-end to dpkg anyway
[13:42] <eichi> I know
[13:43] <eichi> does not mean, that it pipes *all* comments that exists in dpkg to dpkg. know one knows...just the man page ;)
[13:44] <caius_> when it`s finished  i will try again to install software
[13:44] <caius_> i will let you know
[13:44] <caius_> thanks guys
[13:45] <caius_> it works!
[13:45] <ts2> eichi: the only thing apt does that dpkg does not do is give you the ability to resolve dependencies and download packages automatically, everything else is all dpkg
[13:46] <caius_> Thank you so much for help !!!
[13:47] <caius_> Bye

[15:53] <sithlord48> anyone know how to set up the "new" subversion plugin for dolphin ?
[16:02] <Guest98817> my kubuntu hangs almost every other boot, according to system log just after
[16:03] <Guest98817> 11/1-2012 16:20:47	et-system	dbus[939]	[system] Activating service name='org.kubuntu.qaptworker' (using servicehelper)

[16:04] <Guest98817> and then nothing
[16:05] <sithlord48> disk read error? have you fscked that disk?
[16:05] <Guest98817> running kubuntu 11.10+
[16:06] <sithlord48> ok have you checked the disk for errors? did you just install ? was it after an update?
[16:07] <Guest98817> after update
[16:07] <Guest98817> I think, it has been running fine since 11.10 came out, just  a week ago or so did it start
[16:08] <Guest98817> maybe I should try the fsck disk... haven't done that yet
[16:20] <sithlord48> i would start with fsck.
[16:53] <janik> hi @ all
[17:09] <helderc> how can I use the ubuntu one service at kubuntu
[17:10] <daviddoria> how do I connect to a windows share? I went to "add network folder" -> microsoft windows network drive -> name: test , server: OtherComputer, Folder: nameOfSharedFolder, but a progress bar appears for several minutes and then it breaks
[17:13] <Riddell> daviddoria: can try smb://server/share  in dolphin address bar to check it works
[17:14] <Riddell> helderc: not well supported currently, the daemon runs but setup of it needs gnome bits installed
[17:15] <helderc> ah, ok ... thanks Riddell
[17:16] <daviddoria> Riddell, nope, it just has a progress bar at the bottom that says "loading folder" indefinitely
[17:17] <daviddoria> i just tried it from windows machine (\\server\share in Run) and it connected immediately
[17:18] <Riddell> daviddoria: then I'm afraid I don't know more since I don't run windows.  it would need checking if it works generally or just not on your setup and if it can be done on the command line
[18:23] <lordjj> Anyone knows where I can find a small ASCII Art of a coin? :P

[19:26] <paja> is there around any native english speaker?  I need just about 5 min help for checking abstract of my thesis..  If there were somebody, i would very appreciate it
[19:27] <BarkingFish> paja: not really kubuntu related, but I'm happy to take a look for you.
[19:27] <Pici> paja: theres also ##english
[19:28] <BarkingFish> that would be better for you paja, since I speak english like a native, but I'm not wholly native to the English language
[19:28] <paja> BarkingFish: thanks and sorry for disturbing this channel .. next time ill use this channel
[19:29] <paja> BarkingFish: Ok, maybe it is better, I may try it there :) thanks anyway!
[19:29] <BarkingFish> no problem, paja :)

[23:13] <Hunty6> Hi! I am trying to install Kubuntu in single boot on my Asus G51J (supports it) but unfortunately the live CD and the USB Stick I have made won't load properly. I already have Kubuntu 10.04 installed in dual boot with Windows 7 and I am trying to boot 11.10 from the live CD so I can completely remove both 10.04 and Windows 7 and only run under 11.10. The loading goes pretty well, there is no error in the files (according to the live CD) but when I
[23:13] <Hunty6> chose either to install or boot from live CD, all I get is a ''Broken screen'' where I only have big white & black squares along with lots of pixels. Any chance someone knows how to get it to work ? Thanks for the answer!
[23:36] <aequitas_> hi
