| MaxHR | Hello, just tried installing takeoff from http://code.google.com/p/takeoff-launcher/wiki/Downloads?tm=2 and got an error that kdelibs is not installable, any ideas to fix? | 00:21 |

| tkennedy | can anyone help me out with 11.10 muon update issue? | 00:25 |
| === NieIsen is now known as Nielsen | ||
| === szal_ is now known as szal | ||
| DasKreech | tkennedy: what's the issue? | 00:50 |
| tkennedy | basically muon updater says I have updates and when I got to install them the app just sites there doing nothing | 00:53 |
| tkennedy | I've tried the usual apt-get update; apt-get install -f but that didn't work | 00:54 |
| tkennedy | I'm about ready to reimage the PC and start over | 00:54 |
| James147 | tkennedy: have you tried "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? | 00:58 |
| tkennedy | no....I will try | 00:59 |
| tkennedy | there's nothing to upgrade so it says | 00:59 |
| tkennedy | also the muon package update app tells me it can't resolve a proxy server I set. But I have since removed the proxy settings and put back to direct connect but it still references them | 01:01 |
| tkennedy | does the package mgr cache this somewhere | 01:01 |
| DasKreech | tkennedy: what kind of cache? | 01:04 |
| tkennedy | I am going to clear my .kde/share/config and see if that fixes it | 01:05 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm back, everybody. | 01:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Odd. KPackageKit isn't finding distribution upgrades. | 01:36 |
| viKtor_ | hey guys i really need help, love kde applications but love gnome shell (just how the shell itself works) i need something that makes me want kde, cause i don't really like the windows bar like interface :S | 01:38 |
| viKtor_ | so why should i prefer kde 4 instead of gnome shell? | 01:38 |
| LINKSWORD2 | viKtor_: You can move and re-customize the kickoff bar any time you like. | 01:39 |
| viKtor_ | LINKSWORD2: but still i have the same behavior, a bar with taskbar meny and systry | 01:40 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Well, what would make your situation better? | 01:42 |
| viKtor_ | i hate having a bar in my desktop | 01:42 |
| viKtor_ | y just want the desktop to hold opened windows | 01:43 |
| viKtor_ | *I | 01:43 |
| viKtor_ | no bars | 01:43 |
| viKtor_ | no systray | 01:43 |
| === steve___ is now known as Guest8955 | ||
| viKtor_ | nothing else | 01:43 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Well, so far, the KDE system's GUI is designed in a way similar to Windows for its ease of use. | 01:43 |
| viKtor_ | actually i love dolphin | 01:44 |
| viKtor_ | and some other applications more than their kde analoge | 01:44 |
| LINKSWORD2 | If I had a more powerful computer, I would actually have mine customized to look and perform like an Apple iMac, but without the overpriced hardware. | 01:44 |
| viKtor_ | LINKSWORD2: how does it look like? | 01:45 |
| viKtor_ | actually i've never used kde and stil i feel it kind of weird | 01:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I actually have a "panel" along all edges of the monitor, with apps pinned to each of them. | 01:46 |
| viKtor_ | i'm too use to the i have an asus i5 8 ram and 4 gb nvidia | 01:46 |
| viKtor_ | sorry | 01:47 |
| viKtor_ | both sentences were pasted | 01:47 |
| viKtor_ | hehe | 01:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 01:47 |
| viKtor_ | i have an asus i5 8 ram and 4 gb nvidia | 01:47 |
| viKtor_ | and i'm too use to the mac's dock interface | 01:47 |
| viKtor_ | with global menu | 01:47 |
| viKtor_ | and so on | 01:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Nice. Let me grab something I think will help. | 01:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Here's one called KSmoothDock: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/KSmoothDock?content=6585 | 01:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Another good one I've heard a lot about is called Cairo Dock. | 01:49 |
| viKtor_ | cairo dock is also kde | 01:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I know a few tricks here and there, but overall, I'm still pretty new at this... | 01:51 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm sorry I can't be more help. :/ | 01:51 |
| viKtor_ | you know? it's contradictory but i've heard how much kde is customizable in detriment of gnome but them i always see the same desktop :S | 01:52 |
| viKtor_ | LINKSWORD2: thanks too much dude! | 01:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | You're welcome. | 01:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Here's another good dock, the Daisy Plasmoid: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa/+files/plasma-widget-daisy_0.0.4.23-0ubuntu2~lucid~ppa1_i386.deb | 01:54 |

| sundar_ | hi | 05:55 |
| sundar_ | i want configure nat by using two interfaces | 05:55 |
| sundar_ | can someone please help me how to do with ubuntu | 05:56 |
| DasKreech | you mean make a gateway? | 05:59 |
| sundar_ | yes | 05:59 |
| sundar_ | i am reading a howto, which explains using two network cards. in my case i am using a 3G modem as one of the interfaces. | 06:01 |
| sundar_ | www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables | 06:01 |
| DasKreech | sundar_: that's a Redhat implementation | 06:08 |
| sundar_ | DasKreech, yes. one of the comments posted says the iptables service once restarted am back to step 1 | 06:10 |
| sundar_ | i am little confused | 06:10 |
| DasKreech | http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/23 is better suited for Ubuntu you can substitute your network interfaces there as needed | 06:10 |
| sundar_ | thanks, ill check this out | 06:11 |
| sundar_ | DasKreech, this one is easier. i'll try this out | 06:18 |
| DasKreech | sundar_: how's it going? | 06:42 |
| sundar_ | DasKreech, i have configured my 3G modem connection as ppp0 interface | 06:42 |
| sundar_ | i have replaced eth1 in the example to ppp0 | 06:43 |
| sundar_ | as that is going to my external IP | 06:43 |
| sundar_ | but the problem is the default gateway as shown in the "route" comman | 06:44 |
| sundar_ | command* | 06:44 |
| sundar_ | should i delete the default gateway so that all traffic can go via ppp0 only? | 06:45 |
| sundar_ | the machine is connected to internet through two interfaces now. one is eth0 and the other is ppp0 | 06:46 |
| sundar_ | i want only ppp0 to remain as the external IP, and the other as simply a LAN interface through which another client will use as gateway | 06:47 |
| DasKreech | sundar_: Yes | 06:47 |
| DasKreech | the route to outside should be setup to point to the external interface | 06:47 |
| sundar_ | so my understanding is, i have to delete the default gateway shown in the route command. is it correct? | 06:48 |
| DasKreech | and for the other computer in the network they should have the route set to the internal IP address | 06:48 |
| sundar_ | yes, that step is done with the help of the script given in the example | 06:48 |
| sundar_ | ok, you mean the client should set a route entry with gateway's IP | 06:49 |
| * Shaan7 used to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing <-- easy steps | 06:51 | |
| DasKreech | Yes the internal IP address | 06:51 |
| sundar_ | DasKreech, configuration to be done in client machine is two fold. first, to remove existing default gateway. second is to add the new gateway's IP address. is this correct? | 06:52 |
| sundar_ | DasKreech, in the gateway side, what is supposed to be the default gateway as shown in route | 06:54 |
| sundar_ | DasKreech, I am setting up this configuration to use the NAT functionality. is connection sharing and NAT both the same? | 06:55 |

| mw46 | anybody using 11.10 & pidgin? Pidgin does not seem to get notified when the wireless network is connected?! :-( | 06:59 |
| DasKreech | sundar_: for all general purposes yes | 07:03 |
| DasKreech | mw46: NM should send a connected event. If Pidgin is listening then it will be notified | 07:04 |
| mw46 | it worked before my upgrade:-( | 07:04 |
| mw46 | and skype still sees the notifications | 07:05 |
| DasKreech | sorry I'm not using pidgin so I may not be of much help | 07:06 |
| mw46 | In the morning pigdin comes up and has a state of `waiting for network connection', but even after the network is connected, it looks like pidgin does not listen for the signal/event or something:-( | 07:06 |
| DasKreech | manually saying connect makes it connect though? | 07:07 |
| mw46 | basically exiting & restarting pidgin and it connects fine:-( | 07:08 |
| mw46 | ok, found that pidgin.im has an updated ubuntu package, I'm installing that now and will try it;-) | 07:13 |
| DasKreech | read the changelog? | 07:13 |
| mw46 | DasKreech: nothing in there:-( | 07:33 |
| mw46 | but the libpurple (most of pidgin) seems to try to talk to DBus and look for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager, so that all seems to br correct | 07:36 |
| mw46 | so I'll try to the new version and see if it improves the situation, thanks | 07:36 |
| mw46 | DasKreech: ok, the new pidgin version seems to help me;-) | 07:39 |
| mw46 | ok, time to head out;-) | 07:40 |
| DasKreech | Great | 07:46 |

| CQ | does | 10:17 |
| peace_ | CQ: $(type plasma-desktop) | 10:17 |
| CQ | killing it and readding it still gives no taskbar | 10:18 |

| peace_ | CQ: now.... just a second | 10:19 |
| peace_ | CQ: remove the panel | 10:19 |
| peace_ | CQ: then righ click add panel => default panel | 10:20 |

| CQ | ah, but add panel -> default panel | 10:21 |

I installed windows 7 yesterday on a separate HDD and then I needed to reinstall grub2 to my Ubuntu HDD but now when I try to boot I get an error: NO INTERNAL DISKS PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. This happens with both HDD's present and also when I remove either of the HDD's to try and boot either OS. any ideas what I need to do here? | 17:11 |
| James147 | pangolin: what did you do to reinstall grub2? | 17:12 |
| * James147 sounds like the mbr is missing from the disks you are tring to boot | 17:12 | |
| pangolin | I followed the !grub2 instructions on the wiki | 17:12 |
| pangolin | James147: I also tried reinstalling ubuntu fresh (keeping my /home intact) but still get the same error | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | sorry pangolin , gotta go for a while ...BBL , James147 probly has more insight into grub probs with 2hdds than me. | 17:14 |
| James147 | pangolin: and you install grub to /dev/sdX and not /dev/sdXY? | 17:14 |
| pangolin | James147: correct. I mounted /sda to /mnt and then installed grub to /sda | 17:14 |
| pangolin | err /sda1 to /mnt | 17:14 |
| James147 | pangolin: is the boot disk order in the bois correct (most modern computer have a key you can press to let you pick which device you want to boot from, its quicker for testing) | 17:15 |
| pangolin | when that didn't seem to work I decided to do a clean install and still the same error | 17:15 |
| pangolin | my boot order is, CD > USB > HDD | 17:16 |
| pangolin | has always worked for me before | 17:16 |
| James147 | pangolin: that dosnt matter, which hdd is ir tring to boot first | 17:16 |
| pangolin | hmm | 17:16 |
| pangolin | good question | 17:16 |
| pangolin | I will need to reboot and check | 17:17 |
| James147 | (some bois intergrate the two option, some let you pick the boot order as well as which hdd to boot from) | 17:17 |
| pangolin | ok I will reboot and see if the bios gives me the option to select the hdd to boot. | 17:18 |
| pangolin | thanks for the tip. I'll be back | 17:18 |
| pangolin | James147: Thank you so much! | 17:26 |
| pangolin | you can't imagine how relieved I am not to have lost my setup | 17:26 |
| pangolin | Now to get grub2 to see the Windows install on the other hdd | 17:27 |
| James147 | pangolin: "update-grub" from iwthin kubuntu | 17:28 |
| James147 | ^^ sudo in front of that | 17:28 |
| pangolin | doesn't seem like that hdd is being mounted | 17:29 |
| James147 | dosnt need to be mounted | 17:29 |
| James147 | (as far as i know) | 17:29 |
| pangolin | then update-grub is not adding Windows 7 | 17:29 |
| pangolin | anyway, it is a priority. I'm just happy I can boot up. | 17:30 |
| pangolin | err it is not* | 17:30 |
| James147 | pangolin: but its a problem, and this chanel is for fixing problems :) | 17:31 |
| pangolin | James147: hehe true. going to upgrade to 11.10 first and worry about the windows thing later | 17:32 |
| James147 | pangolin: is os-prober installed? | 17:32 |
| pangolin | it is | 17:32 |
| dies_irae | any ideas why reqonk messing with TCP/IP that badly?? | 17:33 |
| pangolin | in the middle of the upgrade now. don't want to mess around too much | 17:33 |
| James147 | pangolin: well, you can always add a custom entry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom_Menu_Entries | 17:33 |
| dies_irae | reqonk was interfering with internet connection!! | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | pangolin, try this to add windows to your grub menu, sudo os-prober, then run , sudo update-grub | 17:40 |
| pangolin | BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/815557/ | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | pangolin, hmm, doesn't seem to have picked up the windows partition :( | 17:43 |
| pangolin | nope. | 17:43 |
| pangolin | not sure why but I'll try adding it manually later | 17:44 |
| pangolin | got about 20 minutes for the upgrade to 11.10 to complete | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | pangolin, ok, maybe James147 has some insight about the os-prober command | 17:47 |
| pangolin | BluesKaj: right now I am just happy that I am able to boot into an OS. I thought I somehow managed to fry my HDD or something. | 17:49 |

| BluesKaj | pangolin, no it's just a different set of problems with grub when dealing with 2 hdds | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | pangolin, I use just one OS , dual booting is simple enough with one hdd , but for some reason grub has recognition difficulty with 2hdds. | 17:53 |
| taylor | hey | 18:00 |
| bazhang | hi | 18:06 |
| dies_irae | anyone investigating how reqonk interferes with internet ?? | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | reqonk interferes with internet ? dies_irae , it's a browser , what do you mean? | 18:16 |
| dies_irae | BluesKaj: kept disconnecting irssi from freenode and saw weird loading behaviour. | 18:19 |
| dies_irae | something is very wrong with it. | 18:19 |
| dies_irae | if I try again i'll get irc lagging. | 18:21 |
| dies_irae | that's just at molecular level. How about DNA?? | 18:23 |
| dies_irae | oops wrong chan | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | dies_irae, do you mean when rekonq launches it disconnects irssi ? | 18:26 |
| dies_irae | BluesKaj: now running firefox and irssi is not disconnecting nor I have problems with loading pages. | 18:27 |
| dies_irae | I am telling you something messed up with reqonk | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | dies_irae, yes , it crashes a lot here too , but i don't even bother with trying it anymore ...it needs a lot of work | 18:28 |
| dies_irae | exactly what I am saying, I don't get it why is default icon in the menu | 18:29 |
| BluesKaj | dies_irae, set your default browser in system settings>default apps>web browser and in the terminal , sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser | 18:35 |
| dies_irae | BluesKaj: I am on liveUSB | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 18:36 |
| dies_irae | and the flash drive installation was epically failed. | 18:36 |
| dies_irae | is there a way to install kubuntu like Gentoo?? Something that's impossible to fail and bugless?? | 18:37 |
| BluesKaj | dies_irae, I always use the alternate install | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | !alternate | dies_irae | 18:38 |
| ubottu | dies_irae: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | dies_irae, doubt that even gentoo is not impossible to fail | 18:39 |
| dies_irae | BluesKaj: technically is impossible to fail an install. There's no script doing it or a program. Is like you are laying down stuff by hand on the hard drive. | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | dies_irae, never did a gentoo , but 'impossible' is a very hard to believe from my POV. | 18:43 |
| joan_ | please is there any way of getting to the network manager icon without using the mouse, only through the keyboard? | 19:42 |
| === g__ is now known as Guest40671 | ||
| froglegs | joan_: maybe you could make shortcut key to it | 19:47 |
| joan_ | the problem is that I have my brother on the other side of the phone and he has the problem: he has lost the mouse and the pad in his laptop and we're trying to get to the network manager icon | 19:50 |
| joan_ | to connect to the internet and end the update that is causing the problem, froglegs | 19:51 |
| froglegs | you can reboot the system | 19:52 |
| joan_ | froglegs it does not make any difference | 20:01 |
| froglegs | to reboot the system changes nothing? | 20:02 |
| Anonymous_ | Hey all | 20:05 |
| smittix | evening all | 20:05 |

| BluesKaj | joan, to use the keyboard without the mouse , if you can launch system settings>input devices>Mouse>Mouse navigation tab>move pointer with keyboard number pad | 20:08 |
| viKtor | is anyone here? | 20:27 |
| joan_ | do you know how to start kubuntu and get the grub kernels menu window? | 20:29 |
| rork | !anyone | viKtor | 20:30 |
| ubottu | viKtor: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 20:30 |
| viKtor | ok is it possible to set krunner keybind just for a single key as the windows one? | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | joan_, hold down the shift key after the bios scrn until the grub menu loads | 20:32 |
| joan_ | thanx | 20:32 |
| viKtor | ¿?¿?¿? | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | viKtor, have a question ? | 20:41 |
| viKtor | BluesKaj: yeah | 20:41 |
| BluesKaj | then ask | 20:41 |
| viKtor | i would like to set just the "windows" key to run krunner | 20:41 |
| viKtor | but i don't find the way to make a single touch keybind working | 20:42 |
| viKtor | BluesKaj: | 20:45 |
| toumbo | Does anyone know how to get notifications when someone posts on a channel? Quassel | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | viKtor, sorry I don't know how , alt+f2 works for me , or right click on the desktop and choose run command | 20:47 |

| viKtor | excognac: haha for me it's my first time in kde... it just works, hate what unity and gnome shell did, still look like old OS :S | 20:49 |
| toumbo | BluesKaj I don't understand..I don't want to get notified only when somone types my nick | 20:50 |
| toumbo | I want to get notified for the whole activity | 20:50 |
| BluesKaj | toumbo, i thought you meant a particular nick or person , not your nick | 20:51 |
| excognac | viKtor: yeah, although I don't really care with the look but the efficiancy and speed. Kde rocks. Unity is mistery | 20:52 |
| toumbo | BluesKaj that's ok!I just wanted to get notified even when someone doesn't tells my name... pfff | 20:52 |
| toumbo | BluesKaj with notify bubble | 20:53 |
| BluesKaj | toumbo, quassel isn't my client of choice , but give a minute or 2 | 20:56 |
| toumbo | BluesKaj I used to use pidgin but it doesn't fit with kde I think | 20:57 |
| toumbo | One day I managed to do with tat client on unity natty | 20:58 |

| djustice | curious, does anyone here know the real difference between kdesu and sudo? | 21:18 |
| ts2 | kdesu(do) is designed to set up the environment correctly for GUI apps | 21:20 |
| ts2 | mostly making sure sudo sets $HOME correctly | 21:20 |
| ts2 | but also setting up X authentication | 21:20 |
| djustice | ts2: i need to know details. can you link me somewhere? | 21:20 |
| ts2 | !kdesu | 21:20 |
| ubottu | In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why | 21:20 |
| djustice | my 'sudo app' is causing dbus/threading weirdness, but 'kdesu app' works fine. | 21:21 |
| djustice | awesome. will read. thanks! | 21:21 |
| ts2 | well dbus won't work if you just use sudo, as the dbus session information is stored in the users environment (and sudo resets the environment by default) | 21:21 |
| ts2 | the system bus is still accessible, but not the session bus, which is per-user/session | 21:22 |
| djustice | wahhh. thanks again!! exactly what i needed. | 21:23 |

| BluesKaj | !info sudoer | 22:36 |

| BluesKaj | wow | 22:36 |
| Unit193 | !sudo | BluesKaj | 22:36 |
| BluesKaj | useless bot | 22:36 |
| ubottu | BluesKaj: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:36 |

| dies_irae | there should, there's a cocoa version of firefox, no reason why not QT | 23:02 |
| asfyxia | Ok, you made me curious, so i asked aunt Google... it's there, but still some experimental, what i can see. It's not exactly the repo version. | 23:06 |
| dies_irae | asfyxia: awsome!! | 23:06 |
| asfyxia | expect some crashes here and there... | 23:07 |
