[00:01] good day...I recently started knotes for the first time in a while, and it ran through some automatic file conversion - now all my notes save for one are gone. Could somebody explain to me what happened there? === grawch is now known as grawcho_ === sythe is now known as sythe-away [00:21] if i have ubuntu 11.04 and installed the kde package, and use that primarily, to upgrade to 11.10, do i follow the ubuntu directions (then install kde packages), or do i run the 11.04 -> 11.10 from kde? [00:25] is there another package I can install to listen to shoutcast? I was using amarok but I couldnt figure out the UI and it stopped working completely [00:26] both vlc and smplayer should be able to listen to shoutcast streams [00:26] ty Ill try those [00:27] I tried installing mplayer but it doesnt seem to work either [00:28] what exactly are you looking for? [00:29] something to listen to music with. I usually listen to shoutcast and also my mp3 collection === odin__ is now known as CrazyBonz [00:29] I was using amarok but it just stopped working completely, no idea why and I didnt even touch it [00:30] have you looked at songbird? http://getsongbird.com/ [00:30] Id prefer to just use whatever I can install from aptitude first [00:32] looks like they killed the linux version anyway [00:32] * Renegade15 is behind the times [00:33] hmmm is there a linux winamp? [00:33] xmms / xmms2 [00:34] oh I remember trying that once and totally failing lol [00:35] those two are problematic, imo [00:35] VLC WORKS PRETTY GOOD [00:35] crap sory about the caps [00:35] xmms was awesome, but it's outdated/discontinued [00:35] and xmms2 is still in preview releases, as far as I can see [00:36] wasn't very feature-rich/stable last I tried it, though that's admittedly been a while [00:36] ahhh.. looks like I'm behind on xmms :) [00:36] installing smplayer, vlc, and xmms2. will see how they work [00:36] wikipedia says the last stable was on 16 Nov 2007 [00:37] a pity, really...it was as close as you could get to winamp [00:39] vlc seems to be working :) [00:40] anyone know how to set it as default player when I download a stream playlist on firefox? [00:40] oh and ty for suggestions :) [00:40] in the system settings, there's the app preference thingy [00:41] in FF, in the Preferences, you have the Applications settings [00:41] those would be my places to start, though I didn't set that up myself [00:42] System Settings -> Hardware area -> Multimedia is what I mean [00:42] ah ok I was looking in file associations [00:43] my firefox actually has icecast and shoutcast playlists as already existing application types I can configure [00:43] so go there, I'd guess ;) [00:45] lol I cant even find preferences in FF [00:46] are you coming straight from windows? [00:46] I forgot to mention my eyes are kinda... meh...bad [00:46] no Ive used linux for a long time but not kde [00:47] I was using gnome but I cant handle the latest ubuntu unity stuff [00:47] check under Edit, is my point [00:47] so Im using kubuntu now [00:47] KDE > * [00:48] I like kde but it confuses me sometimes [00:48] how so? [00:48] not knowing where to look for things [00:49] and amarok was totally confusing to me too [00:49] eh [00:49] I dont see well and I didnt understand the icons [00:49] * Renegade15 never liked Amarok [00:49] hmmm FF says VLC for a lot of applications [00:50] so maybe its working just from installing vlc and deleting amarok [00:50] ty :) [00:51] VLC is a very solid player and among the best open source products there are - you should have no issues with it [00:51] cool [00:51] I've rarely seen anything it didn't play [00:51] and those were usually very exotic codecs [00:53] vlc does play video's also :) [00:53] I remember having it on ubuntu 9.1 and I liked it [00:54] also used... totem? [00:54] totem had a nice graphical thingie [00:54] * Renegade15 never used that one, either === benji is now known as Guest96881 [01:20] oi === kurumin is now known as Cortez [01:25] how to convert mp3 to ogg codec ? [01:26] daneshar: with an encoder/transcoder of your choice [01:26] mencoder can do it, for example [01:26] (at least I'm rather sure it can) [01:27] how i can do it by terminal ? [01:27] it may help your searches to know the actual codec is ogg vorbis, not just plain ogg [01:29] try mencoder [01:31] hm === administrator is now known as Guest61054 [01:31] ... [01:32] jemand da? [01:32] ja [01:32] !de | Guest61054 [01:32] Guest61054: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [01:33] ich hab dieses Programm eben erst auf meinem Laptop gefunden...ist irgendwie seltsam [01:34] nothing funny about Quassel, if you ask me.. you got the directions, follow them ;) [01:36] okay [02:13] Ok, I changed my computer's name using this link http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2732/ubuntu_how_to_change_computer_name/ (I changed the two files) and now I'm stuck at the kdm login screen. Whenever I enter my username and password, it loops back to the login window with an empty password. Any help? [02:14] I can login via the console, however [02:30] Zacarias: Two files? What two files? /etc/hostname is the only one you needed to edit. [02:34] DarthFrog: In the commentaries there were several ones advising to change /etc/hosts also. I did it before restarting [02:36] But just hosts and hostname? That's not what's causing your GUI login problem, I shouldn't think. However, since you can login at the console, change them back and see if it makes any difference. === cpatrick08 is now known as cpatrick008 [02:37] DarthFrog: Yes, I don't see why it should. But I'll follow your advice. [02:40] I am having a problem getting plasma themes to work. I install them with the built-in theme lists, shows an uninstall button.. But I can't find them in the list to choose from, to change theme. What did I break? [02:42] CainMadness: I don't know but you get to keep both pieces! :-) Did you log out and log back in again? I don't know if that makes any difference, though. [02:43] I went even so far to restart the netbook. [02:43] Still not showing in the list. Puzzling. [02:46] DarthFrog: Iloged in with the console. I tried to run sudo gedit /etc/hosts and it tells me "sudo: unable to resolve host My Computer's Name" [03:00] test [03:15] Zacarias: Try booting into recovery mode and do it there. === sythe-away is now known as sythe [03:16] Zacarias: Or boot from a LiveCD, mount your systems root partition in the live environment and then edit the file. [03:16] DarthFrog: I was able to open the file with nano instead of gedit. But I don't know what to do with it now [03:17] Change it such that the name in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts (for 127.0.0.1) are the same. [03:19] You don't need to have your hostname in /etc/hosts. "127.0.0.1 localhost" is perfectly acceptable. [03:23] DarthFrog: ok, I'll try that [03:30] DarthFrog: I deleted all the mentions to my hostname in /etc/hosts But I keep having the same problem. Login screen, then some visual noise in the screen, then the login again [03:32] Zacarias: Your hostname is set in /etc/hostname. Somewhere, there is a misconfiguration. Change that name back to exactly what it was before. [03:33] DarthFrog: yes, I'll try that too [03:41] DarthFrog: Yes, that solved the problem. Is there a rule for creating hostname's? I have a hostname with two words like this "myname-xubuntu" (I was using Xubuntu before), and I tried to change ut to "Myname Ubuntu". What was the problem, do you know? [03:42] Zacarias: You can name your computer anything you want, in one word. But I would presume that you introduced a conflict by changing the name by hand. [03:43] You could try "sudo hostname ", which is a better way to do it. [03:44] DarthFrog: Or by the fact that there where two separate words, maybe? Anyway, thanks for your help! [03:44] Two words? I would think that might have caused the problem. [03:46] DarthFrog: Yes, the name I tried was "Carlos Ubuntu" (Carlos is my name, of course). [03:46] Hmm, it seems that the hostname command doesn't make a permanent change and that editing /etc/hostname by hand is the way to do it. :-) "man hostname" for details. [03:46] Zacarias: Try "Carlos_Ubuntu" [03:46] DarthFrog: Ok! [03:46] DarthFrog: I'll try that. [03:48] Are we having FloodBot wars??? [03:49] It seems so!

[10:50] ralf_: use the apt/dpkg database, if you're only interested in Debian/Ubuntu based distros [10:51] QApt is the library that things like muon use to interface with dpkg/apt -> https://launchpad.net/qapt [10:55] thanks for the tip but I don't think I would be able to make use of that since I use Lua [10:55] and lqt as the qt binding [10:58] i can use dpkg --get-selections to list the installed packages [10:58] i just need to set a 'games' filter [10:58] yeah, your best bet is to use popen dpkg [10:59] or use qprocess and read the input [10:59] qprocess does popen ;) [11:00] ok then how to filter the dpkg output to categories [11:00] reading the man page atm [11:02] ralf_: maybe just parsing /var/lib/dpkg/status will help [11:07] ok thanks, that might be useful [11:07] another question [11:07] i would like to install a global shortcut for my app [11:08] you need to create a .desktop file for your app, and place it in /usr/share/applications [11:09] the format is INI style, you mostly just need an Type, Exec, and Name entry, then it should appear in the menu [11:09] but officially, as in add a KDE component in System Settings > Global Keyboard Shortcuts, and then list the shortcuts in there [11:10] ok let's see [11:10] oh, a keyboard shortcut [11:11] that's a little different [11:11] to use the KDE shortcut system, you need a KDE application (using the KDE libraries), but Qt allows for global shortcuts as far as I know [11:12] the .desktop info is useful too, thanks for that [11:14] actually i could iterate over all the desktop shortcuts for installed games, answers my first question ;) [11:14] but afaik qt does not support global shortcuts [11:16] I've never really tried to create a global shortcut, usually I'm only interested in shortcuts when my app has focus [11:21] i'd like to assign the media control buttons [11:21] y'know, play, next, previous, volume control etc [11:21] purpose of those is somewhat defeated if you need to focus the player first [11:21] you probably need to use the KDE libs, or X directly for that [11:22] KDE has a daemon that listens for all events and passes them along to the app [11:22] dbus? [11:22] via dbus, yes [11:24] i noticed you can import keyboard shortcut schemes in global shortcut settings [11:24] so maybe I could just create a file and then import that [11:25] the thing is, KDE would have no way to inform your application that the shortcut was activated unless it was registered with the KDE system (at least, that's how I understand it) [11:28] i'm looking at an exported kksrc file [11:28] for example [11:28] [yakuake][Global Shortcuts] [11:28] toggle-window-state=F12 [11:29] maybe the first field would be the window class [11:29] the second row the function in the app to call [11:29] then the last field the key [11:29] but that's probably wishful thinking [11:30] I doubt there is a system to directly call methods in a foreign application [11:34] ok, last question for now [11:34] you've been helpful so far, thx :) [11:35] i would like to trigger a function when a usb device is connected [11:35] through qt if possible [11:36] ralf_: that's not really possible in plain Qt, though you could probably do it with QtDBus and listen for signals from the system bus [11:37] ok, i do not have the qtdbus library anyway [11:37] so forget about that for now [11:38] there is also the Qt Mobility API, but that's a separate set of libraries build on Qt [11:39] i'm restricted to the libs lqt offers me === benji is now known as Guest33343 === Guest33343 is now known as PadurKaril [11:41] HI [11:43] maybe another tiny question [11:43] in my app, i need to browse for an executable [11:44] I can check whether the file is executable, but not whether it is the one i'm looking for [11:45] so i would need to look into the file and get stuff such as the description and version [11:45] so i'm looking at some ELF documentation [11:45] and commands such as 'file' and 'strings' [11:46] but i don't think they do what i want === postazione4 is now known as noit === postazione2 is now known as toni === ironfroggy_ is now known as Guest9177 [12:58] join #ubuntu-fr-offtopic [13:36] Hello, when following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/F5D7000 I was told to 'sudo ndiswrapper -hotplug'.

[16:58] pardo, describe your problem with as much detail as possible [16:59] Peace-: pong [17:01] I have a problem installing programs on my pc. Every time I try to install one, for example LibreOffice, I get an error with the sudo command. [17:04] i think you should write down what that error is [17:06] ok, let me a moment. I show you in a few seconds [17:08] If you has never touched the /etc/sudoers and similar files. the problem is usually quite simple [17:10] ps: "has never touched" is correct?? i'm not english :D [17:13] Do you talk spanish, Daniele?

[17:16] no pardo, i'm italian [17:16] ok, no problem. [17:16] pardo, libreoffice updates are broken at the moment due to a bug , so it's probly just that app that's a problem. [17:16] exactly sicily, but we're not as the godfather shows you man :D we're mostly great people [17:17] ok, read this please: The problem is that to install LibreOffice, I must first uninstall OpenOffice. So first try to uninstall Openoffice with this line of code: sudo apt-get purge openoffice. For console but when I enter my password and I enter, it shows me this error: Violation of the segment. [17:18] pardo, keep open office for now , libreoffice is broken [17:18] it's so bad. [17:18] yes [17:19] pardo, . wait for a week or so until the problem is fixed [17:20] very funny Daniele :D i think you are great people. The godfather is only a stereotype. [17:21] the error is very strange [17:21] thanks BluesKaj, I'll be watching :) [17:21] it happens with any program you try to uninstall? [17:22] I try uninstal only this. [17:24] daniele, the libreoffice is partly installed but it can't finish installing due to the broken dependencies some other apps also require . You can try purging the partly installe libre office manually by purging but I doubt that it will work [17:24] pardo ^ [17:25] sorry daniele , that was meant for pardo [17:25] But, in general, when i try install other one, it show me the same error. [17:25] yeah, i got it BlueSkaj, and i think you're right [17:26] yes , see my expalnaton above , it blocks other installs [17:26] pardo, can you purge libreoffice ?

[19:03] now its PID 1919 [19:03] possibly. which version of kubuntu are you on [19:03] 11.10 [19:03] fresh install [19:04] ran all updates and dpkg hung [19:04] had to do a dpkg --configure -a for it to sort itself out [19:04] mozzy: try using apper and see how you get on [19:04] and I'll look into muon-installer and see what the heck is going on [19:05] ok, whats the terminal command [19:05] TY [19:05] its happened on 3 PCs now, that i know of [19:05] I wish the devs would issue a bug about muon , this is becoming a pita , and it hasn't been stable since it's inception [19:06] updates can be killers on any operating system [19:06] mozzy: if you're in a GUI, just press ALT + F2 and type apper, hit enter and it will go from there [19:06] more testing is required [19:06] ok [19:06] mozzy, forget muon , use apper or apt-get in the terminal [19:06] I say we send this back to upstream, BluesKaj - muon is not good. [19:07] let me have a work in the dev channel [19:07] *word [19:07] ok, no luck with apper run command [19:07] must not be installed [19:07] TY [19:07] BarkingFish, they're aware of it upstream I'm sure , the dam thing has never worked from the get-go [19:08] think ill need to do up apper via terminal [19:09] hmm, apper doesn't seem to be listed in kmenu>apps>system [19:09] mozzy: sudo apt-get install apper [19:09] will do barkingfish ty [19:10] BluesKaj: I have it right at the top of the K button, System - Apper (Software Management) [19:11] i gotta go out guys, be back in about 50 mins or so.
