[00:03] <_calum> Hi. Is it possible to get openoffice to read out text aloud? [00:07] hi guys, I've installed kubuntu on my lenovo T510, now I've got LAMP set up and I'm trying to install netbeans. It installs well and runs too, but the problem is that I cannot see it neither in the software center nor it's listed in the context menu so I cannot choose to run a file in it [00:08] when i click on a file -> properties -> open with - it's not listed there either [00:09] any ideas? [00:10] can you at least see what i'm writing here lol [00:11] oh and it's netbeans for php [00:15] ignas: we can see you, but be paitent, most people here only casualy check what people are saying [00:16] ignas: but how did you install netbeans? [00:16] ok no worries, i just figured maybe i need to register or something so people could see me :) [00:16] i downloaded the sh file from netbeans.org [00:16] installed java [00:17] and ran sudo sh netbeans-7... [00:17] the installation was quite straight forward and had shown a success message [00:18] ignas: thens thats why it hasnt created a menu and isnt in the software center... the software center only manages packages installed via the packagemanagment system (it cannt guess what you installed) and its likly the sh script didnt create the menu entries [00:18] is it possible to fix it somehow? I'm really a linux newbie [00:20] hmm, strange... seems to be packaged for everything but oneiric -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=netbeans :S [00:21] ignas: you can add a menu entry by right clicking the menu -> edit menu : and add an entry [00:22] ignas: though it is generally better to get a package for it [00:23] James, the problem is the right click menu. Because if I have a file somewhere in some folder which I want to edit with netbeans - I basically can't because it is not listed in the open with section [00:24] ignas: add a menu entry then you can set file associations [01:10] Hey guys, I just burned a CD for upgrading, but I have forgotten how to upgrade Kubuntu using the CD itself. === brian is now known as bdizzle [03:24] hi [03:25] can anyone guide me where to get the mp3 plugin for amarok? [03:25] !mp3 [03:25] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:26] i already tried sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras [03:29] thx ubottu! now i can see the fluendo in the package manager :) [03:32] thanks again! im off to check if all settings are saved. :D [03:33] :) [03:36] Hi, 1 quick question, i got an enviroment variabel defined. and i don't know where i defined it. is ther any way to trace it? [03:37] juacom99: Which variable? [03:37] I'm presuming this is Bsh? [03:37] Bash [03:37] DasKreech: JAVA_HOME [03:37] i check in bashrc, /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile and ther's nothing there [03:38] DasKreech: yes is bash you presume well :P [03:41] I would suppose that's coming from the JAVA package [03:43] DasKreech: i download the binaris from oracle's web [03:43] then i install and add the enviroment variabel myself [03:44] juacom99: just add it you ~/.bashrc [03:44] it to your ^^ [03:44] juacom99: I thought you were looking for where you got the variable from? [03:45] DasKreech: i'm kinnda am. I wanna know where i set the variabel in the firs please [03:45] ^^ or ~/.profile [03:45] *kinnda [03:45] James147: that will ovewite the vaiabel only form me [03:46] i want to make it global :P [03:46] juacom99: then in /etc/profile... [03:47] yes but if is set on any of my profiles files it get overwited for me to the old value [03:47] that's why i was looking where i export it in the first please [03:48] juacom99: "cd /etc; grep -r "JAVA_HOME" , [03:48] cool that was what i was looking for ( i think) [03:49] thanks bouth [03:49] or cd /home; sudo grep -r "JAVA_HOME" [03:50] DasKreech: actually no, both commands will fail :) cd /etc; grep -r "JAVA_HOME" . << need the . :) or just do "grep -r 'JAVA_HOME' /etc" [03:51] James147: I didn't get the cd in the first placee :) [03:51] never understand why people do that [03:51] * James147 needs to go to sleep, he isnt thinking stright [03:52] DasKreech: I generally avoid it when giving commands, makes it less error prone. Just wasnt thinking today [03:52] i foiunf it it was on /etc/environment [03:52] *i Found it [03:52] thanks guys [03:52] hmm, was expecting /etc/profile.d/* [03:52] juacom99: Ah good find. now I need to see when that gets called [03:53] i'll move it to /etc/profile [03:54] is the pleace where is supouse to be isn't it? [03:54] Would have bet that's sourced in /etc/profile [03:54] juacom99: No It's correct where it is [03:55] ok so /etc/enviroment is call from /etc/profile ? [03:55] DasKreech: according to mine: # This file is parsed by pam_env module [03:56] * James147 notes he is currently on archlinux so it might vary... but he dosnt see why [03:57] James147: i only got 2 lines on /etc/enviroment [03:57] PATH=<> [03:57] JAVA_HOME=<> [03:58] tot even with export :| [03:58] *not [03:58] juacom99: because it isnt a shell script [03:59] is just a plain text where it get the enviroment so he can export it? [04:00] juacom99: from what i can tell its a config to define enviroment varibale that pam_env reads [04:00] cool i didn't know that [04:01] well i got to go to sleep now, thank you bouth again for the help [04:01] yey, "find: File system loop detected; `/var/lib/btrfs/root/__active' is part of the same file system loop as `/'." gota love btrfs :D [04:02] cya [04:02] Bye [04:02] James147: It's mounted itself below itself? [04:02] DasKreech: yeah :D [04:03] By default? [04:03] DasKreech: its intentional, btrfs can define subvolumes and mount them where it wants [04:04] DasKreech: ^^ not really... but its the default layout for most distros that support btrfs: /dev/sda contains __active and __snapshot (__active being a subvolume that contains the root) [04:04] ah [04:04] and then you mount /dev/sda subvol __active as root and /dev/sda to somewhere in taht :D [04:05] that way you can snapshot your root easly [04:05] ^^ that is default if you pick it as the root fs [04:06] so when you reference /dev/sda what are you pointing at? [04:07] DasKreech: btrfs has a default subvol you can set (mine is unset atm, so the root of the filesystem) [04:07] DasKreech: but it has the mount option "subvol=XXX" where XXX is a subvolume if you want to moutn that subvolume [04:08] (also subvolid to reference them by their id, root is always 0 ) [04:12] DasKreech: o and I should probally note that my btrfs volumes arnt inside a partition, they are writen directly on the disk (so to /dev/sdX rather then /dev/sdXY ^^ though you can use a partition table if you want) [04:12] GPT? [04:13] (and currently raid1ed across two disks) [04:13] DasKreech: no, no partition table at all, but you can use gpt or modos tables if you want [04:13] (I was just feeling adventrous when I set this up :D ) [04:15] * James147 notes that linux dosnt really `need` a partition table... they are just conveint for splitting up the disk [04:15] I knw [04:15] ^^ well except for maby the bootloader... think that needs a partition table [04:16] Just easier for recovery [04:16] DasKreech: thats what the raid1 is for :D [04:16] Hardware RAID? [04:16] DasKreech: btrfs raid [04:17] ha ha And if the Mobo fails? [04:17] DasKreech: motherboard? then i cry and buy a new computer [04:18] move the disks and boot [04:18] Recover the RAID from Live CD? [04:18] DasKreech: dont need to if mobo fails... jsut move the disks and boot :) [04:19] DasKreech: if one drive fails then i can replace it easy enough [04:20] DasKreech: and livecds should be able to read btrfs raid well enough... [04:20] assuming they have support for it [04:20] James147: Think most do [04:21] these days they should [04:21] though with brtfs being quite new grabbing a livecd with the latest btrfs tools would be a good idea [04:22] which remindes me, i really need to get me usb install of arch working so i can use it as an uptodate vustamisable revocery disk :) [04:26] Lay off the Vodca [04:26] ^^ [04:47] exit === brian is now known as bdizzle [06:00] hat is the name of the plasmoid widget, similar to Folder View, that let's you see a list of folders, and an open button in the top part of the widget's menu? Quick Access or something? [06:00] hat=what [06:07] Firefishe: yes Quick Access [06:07] Shaan7: Does it have a source file? [06:08] kernelpanic: i remember finding it on kde-look.org [06:08] kernelpanic: sorry [06:08] or can I download it from kdelook? [06:08] Firefishe: ^ [06:13] Shaan7: I found it. [06:14] cool :) === Lynx is now known as Guest14726 [07:19] Hey guys, how would I create an SQL Database for Amarok? [07:20] LINKSWORD2: if you are going to use external database (which you don't need to), amarok does give the instructions [07:21] Ok. Are there any free hosts for an SQL database? [07:22] why you want to run the database elsewhere than in your computer? [07:23] I'd like to have an assured backup of my music... Something that doesn't get erased if I have to reinstall Kubuntu on this computer. [07:25] hi [07:25] what causes can't open /dev/sr0: no medium found? [07:25] i already tried disabling floopy from bios [07:25] sehven: faulty CD/DVD drive [07:26] oh [07:26] but why run at first then not at reboot? [07:26] LINKSWORD2: the music files don't get stored to the database [07:26] btw im running it on a thumbdrive [07:26] thats weird, yep [07:26] OK, then what DOES get stored? [07:26] LINKSWORD2: only the metadata (what is played and when, ratings etc) ... and that can be saved along the files [07:27] LINKSWORD2: MySQL will cry for help if you store actual music in it :P [07:27] amarok's database IMHO is quite disposable [07:27] lol [07:27] * Shaan7 goes for lunch [07:27] OK, I see that. Is there some way I can store my music separate from my computer... Other than BS databases like Google Music? [07:27] bummer already installed fluendo but amarok crashes T_T [07:28] how about store it in another comp? access it via network [07:28] LINKSWORD2: ubuntuone? [07:29] What is that? ;/ [07:29] LINKSWORD2: or any external storage you have access to [07:29] LINKSWORD2: https://one.ubuntu.com/ [07:31] Ok, I'll check that out. [07:33] LINKSWORD2: wouldn't external hard-drive do the job well? [07:33] Yes, except for the fact that I store more sensitive data on externals. I'm an IT specialist. [07:37] LINKSWORD2: you can do that with your music files too [07:38] Actually, I cannot do that, due to the sensitive nature of the other data on the external drives. [07:41] LINKSWORD2: use other external drive then, or whatever works for you, as a specialist you should know (: [07:41] get a new external :) [07:41] .... -_- [07:43] LINKSWORD2: basically, any solution that allows you access external files does work for Amarok: ssh, ftp, smb, ... pretty much everything [07:45] hey all...got 12.04 installed, trying to find the GUI program for installing programs, but it either isn't installed or changed names...anyone know?

The package manager they started using in 11 is called Muon. [07:47] yeah...not finding it [07:48] must not be installed [07:50] Hmm.... Well, I have not experimented with 12 yet. My computer is an old Compaq from 2003, which doesn't seem to like anything above Kubuntu 11.04. [07:53] pro7o13x: to get support for 12.04, please use #ubuntu+1 [08:12] I've only recently updated my software, and I have a new app called Nepomuk.... What the heck is it? [08:13] ah, which planet were you earlier? :P [08:14] The number one way to piss me off is to treat me like I'm an idiot.... [08:14] ah ok ;) well nepomuk has been there since years now [08:14] !find nepomuk [08:15] Found: virtuoso-nepomuk, libnepomuk-perl, libnepomukquery-perl, libnepomuk4, libnepomukquery4a [08:15] This computer has been around for years, but hasn't been running for a while...

[09:01] Sound back after deleting ~/.pulse [09:02] nice [09:03] How is one supposed to test the mic through phonon Sound and Video configuration? [09:03] Will it start recording when I hit test? === af_ is now known as Guest39838 [09:11] hello [09:12] how i can use nokia pc suite in kubuntu please [09:19] super_: nokia pc suite doesnt have a linux version [09:19] what exactly do you want to do? [09:19] i need reset 6300 [09:20] ah i guess for that phone you gotta use pc suite on windose [09:20] okey thanks [09:22] what about flash player for kubuntu? [09:23] Hi, any idea how I can get sending emails working? In "akonadiconsole" the mail dispatcher shows up as "Offline, Broken" - any chance of finding more detailed information? [09:35] Deleting ~/.pulse fixed both audio output and recording in Skype. There are gazillion devices to choose from, which is a bit confusing. [09:37] Slide show screen saver no longer works properly after 11.04->11.10 upgrade. The setup does not open. [09:37] Might be user specific, have not tested yet with a new user... [09:37] But how to fix it for existing users? === baris is now known as Guest48040 === Guest48040 is now known as baris_ [10:29] re [10:47] how can i make a bootable usb drive from an iso?

I've not had the displeasure of trying to use Windows isos [10:57] Linux_Jones: USB Creator in the menu only works with *buntu images. [10:57] Shaan7: I have this : export "HTTP_PROXY=host:port [10:57] (with http [10:58] haygus: i guess only smaller case http_proxy will work [10:58] any ideas?

[11:08] yeah if you want to do sudo wget, thats how to get it working [11:08] for normal wget, you dont need to do that [11:08] but I need for apt-get update... [11:09] yea exactly [11:09] how can I save the export for everytime ? [11:09] no idea [11:09] maybe bashrc for root? [11:09] guessing ..

[11:26] i tried simply copying into usr/bin [11:27] but i wonder how do i put it into my start menu [11:29] goekhan: Rightclick it, Edit programs [11:30] The rest should be quite straightforward [11:33] thanks hateball ! :-) [11:34] hateball: thanks [11:34] goekhan: :) [11:45] I currently have ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa configured as a repository from which I (sometime ago) pulled KDE 4.7.4. I am considering to add or switch to ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backportsfor KDE 4.8 [11:45] if I do this I should disable the first repo right? Or can I wait and KDE 4.8 will eventually be moved here? [11:51] qbit: no need to disable the other repository. and KDE sc 4.8 will be eventually land to ubuntu-backports [11:53] Thanks - didn't know for sure if I should update to KDE 4.8 with both enabled at same time [11:53] hi, anybody know how to install amazon mp3 downloader on a current ubuntu install? They only have a version for 8.10, which obviously breaks when you try to install it on 11.10 [11:56] kaddi: no idea, but could you try amarok? [11:56] na, you need that to download the songs from amazon, not to listen to them [11:57] kaddi: I assume Amarok can download them too [11:57] they don't have DRM on their songs (which I applaude) so they use that application to make sure you're the one to buying them [11:58] but yeh, only option I know is Amarok, just make sure you have the latest release (: [11:58] which is? [11:58] i have 2.4.3 [11:58] http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-25-backports-ppa [12:00] how would I go about to only get amarok from the backports ppa? [12:00] i don't exactly want to update kde entirely [12:01] add the repository, update package lists, install amarok, remove the repository, update package lists, done [12:05] it kinda sucks that all major software companies rely on the linux community building their own support system instead of just updating their tools regularly as they do for windows and OSX [12:05] 8.10 has been end of life since forever [12:05] they must not have touched that installer since 2008 [12:09] ok, so what do i do then once i have the amz file to make amazon download it?

Is this normal? [14:26] is keeping [14:27] naftilos: what about your hardware === ocs is now known as pingLUCE [14:33] My CPU is a Quad Q9550 2.83GHz, GPU is GeForce 9600 GT, Sound HW is Nvidia MCP51 High Definition Audio, 4GB RAM [14:33] Smith_? [14:33] naftilos76: he left [14:34] Smith_: I have never experienced this problem before! Oh, sorry i didn't notice :-) [14:34] naftilos76: is you system currently indexing files? [14:34] if it is then thats expected, if not then thats not exepected [14:35] i have suspended momentarily the indexing but the CPU keeps being as busy as before [14:36] i have just suspended Nepomuk [14:36] the CPU is still at 30-40% busy [14:36] i can see via 'top' that virtuoso-t is keeping the CPU busy [14:36] what is it doing? [14:38] has anybody else had any issues with virtuoso since last upgrade to KDE 4.8? [14:38] anyone? [14:38] naftilos76: suspose to be indexing... not sure how reliably the stop function is atm :S ... try killing it anad see what ahppens [14:39] is virtuoso related to nepomuk? i do not know [14:39] if it is then maybe it is still doing something even when suspende === pepino is now known as iPino [14:43] everytime i upgrade KDE something is wrong [14:49] hello :) I've got a question. Why when i do "sudo " my password is correct, but when i want to do "su" it's incorrect? [14:52] it gives: "su: Authentication failure" [14:53] pawiecki: that's because su requires the root password while sudo asks for your user password [14:53] pawiecki: there is no root password set per default in kubuntu. but you can set one by sudo-ing to root and running passwd [14:55] Torch: ok, thanks :) [14:58] is stable kde 4.8 in repos already? [14:58] i have a problem with virtuoso-t. it keeps CPU busy [14:58] ppa backports [14:59] pawiecki: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.8.0 [14:59] it will probably be fixed in the next updates [14:59] pawiecki: though it is not recomended to set a root password, you should be able to use sudo for evertthing [14:59] James147: why? [15:00] pawiecki: most automated attacks go agienst weak root password... not haing one makes all these attack fail before they have even started :) [15:00] didn't know that :) [15:01] pawiecki: and there is little point in having a root password when you can use sudo to gain root access (sudo -i can be used instead of su -) [15:01] but as far as i remember in Fedora su -c is used for many things [15:01] how can i get linux to use my rocketfish 3.5 usb drive ? it sees everything but the hard drive inside. windows can completely use the rocketfish external harddrive. i have linux 11.10. what can i do ? [15:01] pawiecki: that means run the follow command as loged in as root, this is what sudo was designed for [15:02] pawiecki: you should be able to use "sudo command" where you use to use "su -c command" [15:03] pawiecki: the only difference is you use your user password rather then root [15:04] will i have to use windows if i wanmt to use my external drive? [15:04] want* [15:05] so basically su -c is the same as sudo, but uses root's password when sudo uses user's one, right? [15:05] pawiecki: basically [15:06] then what's the point of having "su"? :) [15:06] has an y body ever had this kind of problem ? [15:07] the less you allow root access, the better, i suspect pawiecki [15:07] pawiecki: you can loginto other users with it... (though you can with sudo as well)... basicaly its there because its a standard application that part of basically every linux systen [15:08] even in diskutility, it says the drive is no partitioned, it is though. when i attempt to set up the drive, disk utility says it does not exist... [15:09] rocketfish2: i didn't ever had any troubles with external drives under Linux. Is it external hard disk plugged via USB? Maybe the problem is in the ACPI or power issues [15:09] rocketfish2: check your dmesg output [15:10] Shaan7: ok, i typed dmesg in a terminal. what am i looking for ? [15:11] pawiecki: how could i check for ACPI issues ? [15:11] rocketfish2: insert drive, wiat 4-5 secs, run dmesg, see if shows some errors in the ~10 lines at the bottom [15:11] Shaan7: ok [15:11] rocketfish2: it says something like this when i plug in mine http://pastebin.com/cpLsmTie [15:12] rocketfish2, what brand external is it ? [15:13] oh rocketfish2 , ok [15:13] BluesKaj: it is a rocketfish usb 3.0 3.5 inch usb external hard drive enclosure. [15:13] the number 2 was assigned to my nick because rocktfish was already taken [15:13] Shaan7: im checking [15:14] * BluesKaj wonders if an esata drive would be more recognizable [15:14] BluesKaj: well USB should run without any issues [15:15] how to make that blue text? :) [15:16] Shaan7, yes agreed , but I've seen these external usb drive recognition and permission probs before and they can be very puzzling [15:16] pawiecki: /me [15:16] * pawiecki test [15:16] Shaan7: i found this > sd 12:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery [15:16] rocketfish2: hmm, now google for that and see if you can find something [15:16] Shaan7: then three >rejecting I/O to offline device [15:17]
