[00:34] <jcgs> Hi :) does anyone know what identities are for in kmail? I've got 3 email accounts which I'd like it to check, do i need different identites for them?
[00:42] <claydoh> jcgs: no, you can use the same identity for more than 1
[00:43] <jcgs> claydoh: what's the difference between doing that, and having separate identities?
[00:44] <claydoh> jcgs: i use identities for each of my emails as I use them for different purposes, so i have different signatures, different names, etc
[00:44] <claydoh> one has my fullname, while another uses my nickname for xample
[00:45] <jcgs> ok :) thanks, but does it mean that things are sorted differently for example, or auto selecting the right address to send from
[00:46] <claydoh> each email usually has its own inbox, or can be set up that way
[00:47] <claydoh> hmm
[00:48] <claydoh> i think you pick a default mail address
[00:48] <claydoh> been a while since I used a single identity
[00:48] <claydoh> hmmm
[00:52] <claydoh> replies are sent using the originating email,  not sure how  you compose using a particular address
[00:53] <claydoh> without having identities
[00:55] <mas> #list
[00:57] <Rokixz> hi, any discussions about kmail? :D
[00:58] <Rokixz> I cannot view inbox in my imap, only spam :D
[00:58] <Rokixz> I get errors like "Unable to append item flags."
[01:05] <jcgs> Cheers claydoh, I went for the different identites anyway, seems it's pretty easy to switch e-mail accounts between than
[01:05] <claydoh> yes, jcgs it is
[01:07] <claydoh> Rokixz: not sure on that error, but if you haven't I do suggest upgrading to kde 4.8, which will fix a lot of error messages, problems in kmail
[01:08] <claydoh> tho not necessarily all
[01:08] <claydoh> i have not seen that problem myself
[01:10] <claydoh> Rokixz: filtering may be broken, may want to try disabling that to see if it a cause of that for you
[01:10] <Rokixz> claydoh, I did upgrade to 4.8, I'll try to disable the filtering :)
[01:11] <claydoh> wost case scenario Rokixz would be to delete and recreate the imap account :(
[01:12] <Rokixz> ok, just recreated gmail acc
[01:12] <Rokixz> and still received that notification
[01:13] <Rokixz> and where should I disable filtering?
[01:14] <claydoh> did you add a spam filter?
[01:14] <Rokixz> nope
[01:14] <Rokixz> I just installed kubuntu and configured
[01:14] <Rokixz> I had same issue under Arch
[01:15] <Rokixz> after 4.8 upgrade
[01:15] <claydoh> then its not the problem :(
[01:15] <Rokixz> seems to be an upstream bug
[01:15] <Rokixz> as I saw on google, but damn I thought there is a solution for it :)
[01:15] <claydoh> kmail is an upstream bug :(
[01:23] <uberdub> man, 11.1 is about as stable for me as charlie manson off his meds
[01:23] <uberdub> logs dont seem to show anything really
[01:24] <uberdub> can any one help trouble shoot?
[01:25] <uberdub> sleep/suspend is iffy, and random freezes
[01:25] <uberdub> I can pastebin my logs if necessary

[02:26] <Holi0syS> hello:)
[02:29] <Holi0syS> Just installed Kubuntu 10.04 and it's not mounting my ipad, anyone having the same issues or does anyone know what I need to install to make it work?
[03:56] <tempo> is there a way to revert to the stable versions of firefox and thunderbird in 12.04 alpha?
[03:56] <draikx> Hello all. I've had this issue for a while, but just "lived with it". I have 2 monitors. My main monitor is 19" VGA, and my secondary display is a flatscreen TV via HDMI. The desktop on the TV is a bit bigger than display of the TV. Is there a way to fix this?
[04:22] <Daskreech> tempo: install them manually then pin them
[04:22] <signal09> anyone have any issues after upgrading to KDE 4.8 and knows how to solve it:  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libkactivities-bin_4%3a4.8.0-0ubuntu1~oneiric1~ppa1_amd64.deb
[04:32] <Daskreech> signal09: what does apt-get dist-upgrade do?
[04:36] <signal09> Daskreech, forces me to run apt-get -f install; which of course complains about the dpkg error above
[04:36] <Daskreech> apt-get install libkactivities-bin
[04:37] <signal09> Daskreech, threw "trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd', which is also in package kde-runtime 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu0.1"
[04:38] <signal09> been searching around google, but no solution :(
[04:41] <Daskreech> :-/
[04:41] <Daskreech> apt-cache policy kde-runtime
[04:43] <signal09> actually just grabbed the new .deb package and tried a dpkg -i --force-all;  see if it clears it up
[04:43] <signal09> WQOOHOO
[04:43] <signal09> worked
[04:44] <signal09> i should note; i went from ubuntu 11.10, added sources for KDE 4.8 then upgraded
[04:46] <signal09> gotta reboot.. thank Daskreech  for the help tho
[04:46] <Daskreech> ok
[05:44] <mink> anyone know how to disable the windows from snapping/resizing on screen edge in KDE?
[06:02] <Daskreech> mink: alt+f2 -> Screen edges
[08:37] <arlen89> does anyone have experience with removing dual boot linux/linux grub2 config so that the second system is removed--i.e., i have kubuntu/xubuntu and wish to remove xubuntu?
[08:39] <arlen89> more specifically--is it as simple as modifying the grub.d file to remove references to the xubuntu parts, and then using a partition editor to remove the partitions and expand the kubuntu partitions over it?
[08:43] <NeuhNeuh> o/
[08:45] <Daskreech> \o
[08:45] <Daskreech> arlen89: yes pretty much
[08:45] <Daskreech> !grub
[08:46] <Daskreech> you can always restore if anything
[08:49] <arlen89> Daskreech: true. i tend to be annoyingly cautious when doing something for the first time. thank you.
[09:40] <skierpage> I have a bunch of files on my Windows laptop next to this Kubuntu machine. What's the easiest way to network them so I can directly copy them to directories on Kubuntu? How do I turn on a ssh/sftp daemon, or export a home directory as a network share?
[09:41] <skierpage> System Settings > Sharing doesn't have anything.
[09:45] <skierpage> Search help.ubuntu.com for network sharing "11.10" coughs up nothing useful. It's so trivially easy from Sharing in Mac OS X...
[09:54] <skierpage> I guess I install openssh-server and f*** around with `sshd [-46DdeiqTt] ` <sigh>
[09:56] <ts2> or, enable sharing on the windows box and just copy the files over
[09:59] <skierpage> ts2, good point, though when I've enable folder sharing on Windows Vista the disk grinds away for ages, dunno which would take longer ;-)
[10:01] <ts2> well windows doesn't use NFS by default, so you'd need to install putty to share files from windows if you want to use ssh
[10:05] <skierpage> ts2, I already have WinSCP (based on Putty I think). Pleasant surprise: I installed openssh-server package, `sudo service ssh restart`, and sftp me@<localIP> works!
[11:42] <vyrgozunqk> guys anyone using broadcom 4313 on kubuntu 64 bits ?!
[11:42] <coder2> Hello. Just installed kubuntu 11.10.  No sound at all. Please help
[11:43] <vyrgozunqk> because i cannot cannect to any network
[11:43] <vyrgozunqk> its using brcmsmac driver and if i try to connect i got stuck on configuring hardware
[11:43] <vyrgozunqk> and if i'm lucky my pc is not blocked
[11:44] <coder2> My sound hardware is integrated NVidia ALC888
[12:23] <abhijeet> hi guys.. recently i switched from ubuntu to Kubuntu...
[12:23] <Mamarok> and?
[12:23] <abhijeet> I am stuck with a basic task.. I am not able to add desktop icons in kubuntu
[12:23] <abhijeet> when i dragging and dropping icons from kmenu, it is not working..
[12:24] <Mamarok> abhijeet: if you go to the menu, right click on the application you want to add an icon for and there you have the option
[12:25] <abhijeet> Mamarok: I is adding the icons to the desktop but to the desktop folder.
[12:25] <abhijeet> Mamarok: how can i add the icons to the desktop folder.
[12:25] <Mamarok> you can't add icons to the desktop folder, that is showing the content of a particular folder only
[12:26] <Mamarok> add the icons to the desktop, and in the desktop folder options choose to display the desktop
[12:26] <Mamarok> but it doesn't really make much sense that way :)
[12:27] <abhijeet> Mamarok: okay....
[12:39] <abhijeet> Mamarok: another doubt.. how can i resize the icons size in the desktop??
[12:43] <Mamarok> hover over it, there is a option bar appearing, the icon on top allows you to resize
[12:48] <abhijeet> Mamarok: okay.. actually it is already smallest... check this link: http://picpaste.com/snapshot1-WCtfPlye.png
[12:48] <abhijeet> my icons are not properly aligned..
[12:48] <abhijeet> I faced the same issue some time back
[12:52] <abhijeet> Mamarok: anyway I can align them properly??
[12:55] <yofel> abhijeet: there is a grid desktop option as desktop type, maybe that helps. I've never used it though
[12:56] <abhijeet> yofel: where is that option?
[12:56] <yofel> right click on desktop -> Layout:
[12:56] <yofel> er, settings -> Layout:
[12:57] <abhijeet> yofel: it's not there.. I can only see 1 View 2. Mouse action
[12:57] <yofel> abhijeet: at the View part, there's a drop down box for the Layout
[12:57] <yofel> unless that has changed since 4.7...
[12:58] <abhijeet> yofel: yes.. i think it has changed in 4.8..
[12:59] <photon> hi. does kubuntu support 3d video files if I have a 3d video card/monitor?
[12:59] <abhijeet> I am able to resize icons by hand but I d't think its correct process.
[12:59] <abhijeet> yofel: why this KDE is so hard to use...
[12:59] <yofel> it was there in 4.7 though, possibly called differently
[12:59] <abhijeet> I am not even able to do the basic tasks.
[12:59] <yofel> I'm fine with it - and I have the icons in the panel anyway
[13:00] <abhijeet> yofel: panel layout is missing from that list
[13:00] <yofel> uh, the panel settings are in the panel settings. As every panel can have it's own settings
[13:01] <yofel> it's not everything in the same window
[13:01] <abhijeet> ok
[13:03] <yofel> for application I often use I usually just stick them on the panel by right clicking their taks manager item and selecting "show a launcher when not running"
[13:03] <yofel> win7 style
[13:03] <abhijeet> yofel: I think most settings are there in the folder view..
[13:03] <abhijeet> yofel: let me check if that works
[13:05] <yofel> in which folder view btw. - the folder view widget, or do you have your desktop type set to show the desktop folder contents?
[13:07] <yofel> hm yeah, the grid desktop can align stuff
[13:13] <photon> hi. does kubuntu support 3d video files if I have a 3d video card/monitor?
[13:15] <sleepy> photon no problem use vlc :)
[13:16] <sleepy> vlc can play 3d whitout any problem :)
[13:16] <photon> sleepy: ok :) thanks
[13:19] <sleepy> photon or look here http://stream-recorder.com/forum/stereoscopic-player-linux-play-3d-video-linux-t8452.html :)
[13:37] <excognac> hello. How do I know the grub bootloader belongs to which distro if they are using the same home? (There are windows partitions and mind and kubuntu all in separate partition, plus the home)
[13:37] <photon> sleepy: cool thanks! I didn't know you can even make them appear as red-cyan output.
[13:41] <sleepy> photon no problem :)
[14:18] <datruth> my system seems to be stuck in UTC mode how can I fix this?

[16:56] <BluesKaj> hey all
[17:33] <lorecaster> looking for help with ubuntu 11.10... am i in the wrong place?
[17:33] <Tm_T> lorecaster: depends of your problem (:
[17:33] <BennyPlayboy> Hi everyone!
[17:34] <BennyPlayboy> I'm looking for some help
[17:34] <Tm_T> !helpme
[17:34] <Tm_T> no, not that...
[17:34] <Tm_T> !ask
[17:34] <Tm_T> (:
[17:35] <lorecaster> thanks, tm_t, I tried to install KDE Plasma Widgets to my GNOME3 Ubuntu 11.10 install... and now I've got broken packages. I tried doing a "sudo apt-get install -f" and I've got a page of errors. I've got a pastebin for you if you like.
[17:35] <Tm_T> lorecaster: show it and we'll see (:
[17:35] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/6i3dWsqb
[17:36] <Tm_T> lorecaster: oh, interesting
[17:37] <lorecaster> I appreciate it. I'm not exactly green at linux... but I haven't done any heavy programming in nearly ten years. GNOME3 is everything I ever wanted, if only AUTOCAD2012 worked as well in virtualization as it does in native win7... but that's another matter entirely. I have fallen in love, again, with ubuntu... and I am honoured to have what help you guys can render.
[17:37] <BennyPlayboy> Today I installed Kubuntu on my laptop, but it seems as my neworkcard isn't supported... I tried to update drivers while using an ethernet cable, but no luck. On my Windows partition I can use it, so there's nothing wrong with the card itself.
[17:37] <BennyPlayboy> Anyone know what the problem may be?
[17:37] <Tm_T> !wireless
[17:38] <Tm_T> BennyPlayboy: I'm not good with that stuff so hopefully the docs ^ there do help
[17:38] <BennyPlayboy> Thanks.:) I'll check if the card is supported
[17:38] <lorecaster> Tm_T: I'm so pleased to have intregued you, haha
[17:39] <Tm_T> lorecaster: try install kde-runtime, what does it do then?
[17:40] <lorecaster> ick :| grabbing the pastebin for you now.
[17:40] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/aHrY2KkD
[17:41] <Tm_T> lorecaster: can I see your sources.list too?
[17:42] <Tm_T> lorecaster: and possible ppa's you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[17:43] <Tm_T> brb

[17:43] <lorecaster> thanks

[17:43] <cypr1nus> hello, is there any app to configure mouse buttons (like additional buttions placed in modern mice) ?
[17:43] <cypr1nus> some K app?
[17:46] <kadir> Hİ
[17:53] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  which card is it ?
[17:55] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: It's a Broadcom BCM4311 14e4:4331
[17:55] <aguitel> how to restore to default items in  kde menu ?
[17:55] <BennyPlayboy> It should work according t the list
[17:55] <BluesKaj> !bcm43
[17:55] <BluesKaj> !bcm
[17:56] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  that's probly the most common wifi card and it's definitely supported
[17:57] <lorecaster> here you go, Tm_T, http://pastebin.com/DryyeZQR
[17:58] <BennyPlayboy> Yeah, but it's not installed with Kubuntu, and once I update drivers I still don't have the opportunity to eneble wireless network. In fact, I can't even see the "WLAN Interface"
[17:58] <BennyPlayboy> I've tried updating/installing drivers with no luck...
[18:01] <Tm_T> lorecaster: what happens if you do apt-get update and try install again that kde-runtime?
[18:01] <Tm_T> lorecaster: if it still fails, show me your kubuntu-ppa-backports-oneiric.list
[18:03] <Guest84719> sorry to butt in, maybe this has already been mentioned - have you definitely checked it is on at a hardware level (i.e. if it is a laptop is the wireless 'on')
[18:04] <lorecaster> I really admire you guys... I wish I had the time to learn this much base programming structure again
[18:06] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/BDbg8d3Z
[18:06] <BennyPlayboy> Guest84719: Yes, it is. It's even working on Windows, which really scares me, as Windows sucks compared to Linux.
[18:07] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/WJPYS90V
[18:08] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  , i'm quite sure it's a kernelmodule that just needs to be loaded , try sudo modprobe b43
[18:08] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/h8JfBaqm
[18:08] <lorecaster> this is what I get for playing around and installing new programs :P I'm learning a lot though! :D
[18:09] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: Uhmm... It didn't do anything at all?
[18:10] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  , good thay means no errors
[18:10] <BluesKaj> that
[18:10] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  try a relogin or reboot
[18:11] <Tm_T> lorecaster: for some reason, your kde doesn't get upgraded as a whole
[18:11] <BennyPlayboy> Okay, will do
[18:12] <lorecaster> Tm_T: That's about the only thing I was managed to figure out on my own :P I'm not as green as I used to be... but I'm far from the programmer I wish I was.
[18:13] <Tm_T> lorecaster: so I suggest you add more kde packages to your "sudo apt-get install <list of packages>" until you get the breakthrough
[18:14] <Tm_T> lorecaster: you prolly end up having some package removed in order to proceed
[18:14] <Tm_T> hi skfin
[18:15] <skfin> hi Tm_T
[18:15] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: The checkbox for "Enable wireless" comes up now, but I still don't have the opportunity to even select the WLAN Interface
[18:15] <skfin> My irssi hanged up and ate my server's cpu
[18:15] <lorecaster> I'm completely comfortable removing all the existing KDE packages... i wouldn't even know which ones to add in order to patch this.
[18:16] <Tm_T> lorecaster: do you want to remove the whole KDE? that can be done too
[18:16] <Tm_T> !puregnome | lorecaster
[18:17] <BluesKaj> ok BennyPlayboy , try this in the terminal , first . sudo ifconfig wlan0 up , then , sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[18:17] <lorecaster> sudo: aptitude: command not found
[18:17] <lorecaster> -le sigh-
[18:18] <BluesKaj> lorecaster,   try sudo apt-get
[18:18] <lorecaster> I figured, but didn't want to risk more complications :P thanks peeps!
[18:19] <lorecaster> more errors...
[18:19] <Tm_T> sounds ... fun
[18:19] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/ckYGPVxK
[18:19] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: "wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
[18:19] <BennyPlayboy> At the first line
[18:20] <Tm_T> lorecaster: proceed with the guide, as that step went as expected
[18:21] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  ok do ifconfig , and pastebin the results , so we can look at your networking ssetup
[18:21] <lorecaster> yeah... the manual removal... just reading it is painful :P thanks everyone.
[18:24] <lorecaster> got more errors it seems ... http://pastebin.com/Ct6DPW26 ... going to restart in a second and return if there is more trouble.

[18:31] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  did you relogin or reboot previously , i should have suggested a reboot , not  the relogin option
[18:32] <BluesKaj> !pastebin | BennyPlayboy
[18:32] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: I rebooted
[18:32] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  i forgot one command that i should have suggested , sudo dhclient wlan0
[18:34] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: It says: "Cannot find device "wlan0""
[18:40] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  hmm, wonder why your wifi card isn't responding , do, lspci , and look for braodcom wireless mobile or some such .
[18:45] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: The only things I find is "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[18:45] <BennyPlayboy> and "Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02), but I guess the Ethernet one doesn't really matter.
[18:47] <BluesKaj> BCM4311 WLAN is you wifi card , BennyPlayboy , and I'm puzzled by it's total lack of response to any commands .
[18:47] <BennyPlayboy> Yes, it's indeed really weird...
[18:48] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  I assume this is a laptop ?
[18:48] <BennyPlayboy> Yes, that's right
[18:49] <BennyPlayboy> Why?
[18:50] <BluesKaj> ok BennyPlayboy I have the same wifi card on my laptop and worked from the get go.
[18:50] <BluesKaj> let's start over
[18:50] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: That's weird... Okay
[18:50] <Guest84719> me too - bcm4313 works perfectly on deb/*buntu
[18:51] <Guest84719> are you currently on battery or mains?
[18:52] <BennyPlayboy> Guest84719: Mains? Connected to a socket?
[18:53] <BennyPlayboy> In that case, yes
[18:53] <Guest84719> yep - lot of bios' auto disconnect wireless lan/ethernet on battery power - has caught me out a few times on windows, let alone nix
[18:54] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  ifdown wlan0 , then , ifconfig down wlan0, then , ifup wlan0
[18:58] <BluesKaj>  BennyPlayboy then run iwconfig , and pastebin the out to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[18:59] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: "ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured"
[18:59] <BennyPlayboy> "wlan0: Unknown host"
[18:59] <BennyPlayboy> "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0.
[18:59] <BennyPlayboy> "
[19:00] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  do you see my next suggestion above ?
[19:01] <BennyPlayboy> Oh, didn't notice.:o
[19:03] <BennyPlayboy> BluesKaj: It all says "no wireless extensions".
[19:07] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  I have to ask , are dual booting windows as well on the laptop?
[19:08] <BennyPlayboy> Yes
[19:08] <BluesKaj> and the wifi card woks ok , I suppose
[19:08] <BluesKaj> on windows
[19:08] <BennyPlayboy> Yep, on Windows it works fine
[19:09] <BluesKaj> ..very puzzling
[19:09] <BennyPlayboy> Yeah... I'm reinstalling Kubuntu now, just to make sure
[19:10] <BluesKaj> BennyPlayboy,  ok

[19:16] <arshinator> hi
[19:17] <arshinator> can anyone tell me why am i getting this error "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)"
[19:18] <arshinator> and this "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:18] <arshinator> "
[19:20] <BluesKaj> arshinator,  do you have 2 instances of package managers open, apt in theterminal and muon for example ?
[19:21] <arshinator> no as of i can see...its not running...but if its running in the background how do i check it?
[19:22] <BluesKaj> arshinator,  open system monitor
[19:23] <BluesKaj> process table
[19:24] <arshinator> no
[19:25] <arshinator> BlueKaj, there is no package manager running as such
[19:25] <BluesKaj> arshinator,  open a terminal , sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:26] <arshinator> BlueKaj, "dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process"
[19:27] <James147> arshinator: run "pgrep dpkg" if it prints any numbers then dpkg is running somewhere, if not then delete the lock file
[19:28] <BluesKaj> arshinator,  or , sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[19:28] <James147> ^^ or taht
[19:28] <arshinator> James147, it returned 2606
[19:28] <James147> arshinator: then it is runnin
[19:28] <James147> (background update?)
[19:28] <James147> anything in your system tray?
[19:28] <arshinator> James147, no :(
[19:29] <ARGHh> hello, does anybody use avant-window-navigator on Kubuntu?
[19:29] <ARGHh> I've got problems with icons :/
[19:30] <Xevios> Hi people. Where i can get FAQ for linux systems?
[19:30] <James147> Xevios: That would be a very long FAQ :) anything more specific you want to know?
[19:30] <arshinator> BlueKaj, after killing that process 2606, this happend "sudo apt-get install vlc
[19:30] <arshinator> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[19:30] <Xevios> All my life worked with windows...and ЭВМ(
[19:32] <James147> arshinator: run what it suggests
[19:32] <James147> arshinator: but my guess is unattended upgrades was running in the background... normally before killing dpkg you should wait a while to see if it will finish
[19:33] <arshinator> James147: thanks, it got working :)
[19:34] <Xevios> James147 ohhh. it will be long. So, by the way, when i tried to update kubuntu, i chose all updates.=_=And stucked in 47% After reboot i lost wifi-bluetooth drivers. Now they're working but...i'm afraid of new updates)
[19:35] <James147> Xevios: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install kubntu-desktop" in a terminal and tell us when it errors :)
[19:35] <arshinator> Xevios, same happened with me, i had to install kubuntu again.....but why update? it works fine without updates
[19:36] <James147> Xevios: muon is known for getting stuck druing updates, its best to use other packagemanagers to upgrade
[19:37] <James147> arshinator: secutiry patches and bug fixes ^^ ... you shouldnt not update your system :p
[19:38] <pvivek> which is the best desktop recorder for kde?
[19:40] <arshinator> James147: muon is corrupted in my system i guess, cuz when i start it, it crashes everytime....which is the best package manager u would suggest?
[19:40] <Xevios> thx.I fixed it in another way, in recovery checked all packeges.
[19:40] <Xevios> By the way. I wanted to instal google chrome....
[19:40] <Xevios> But i cant.
[19:41] <James147> arshinator: apper (kpackagekit) use to work well, though I tend to use commandline
[19:41] <James147> Xevios: install chromium form the repos... its basically the same as google chrome but with out the branding (and a few closed features)
[19:42] <Xevios> Yeah. But i have all my pass'es with tabs in google acc.
[19:43] <Xevios> Oh
[19:43] <Xevios> Thx
[19:43] <Xevios> Working
[19:43] <asfyxia> xevios: do sudo apt-get install chromium-browser in the terminal
[19:43] <James147> Xevios: it shares most of the code base with google chrome... it also has the sync feature... if just a few minor thing taht are missing (like embedded flash)
[19:52] <Xevios> how i can install *deb* packeges
[19:52] <Xevios> ?
[19:52] <Xevios> by clicking?
[19:54] <asfyxia> xevios: if you try to install google chrome from a .deb file, you don need to. It's in the repos, try chrome-browser.
[19:54] <James147> Xevios: you should beable to click it in dolphin, or you can run "sudo dpkg -i <file>"
[19:55] <Xevios> asfyxia , skype.
[19:55] <arshinator> James147: i am trying to "su"...but when i do that it asks me for a password, but the password which i gave at the time of installing kubuntu is not being taken and it says authentication failure. any  idea?
[19:56] <szal> !su | arshinator
[19:56] <szal> !root | arshinator
[19:58] <arshinator> ubottu | szal : actually i want to access the root directory....so i want to go su...but not able to do so
[19:58] <szal> arshinator: what root directory?
[19:58] <arshinator> szal: the root folder?
[19:58] <arshinator> i want to access that
[19:58] <szal> define 'access'
[19:59] <James147> arshinator: use "sudo -i" to get a root shell
[19:59] <ARGHh> hello, does anybody use avant-window-navigator on Kubuntu? I 've got problems with icons, probably i must install gnome icons...can anyone explain me how ?
[20:00] <asfyxia> xevios: when you downloaded a .deb-file, you can install it with Ark
[20:00] <pvivek> kubuntu Software Updates stuck at 61% from more than an hour. any suggestions?
[20:00] <James147> asfyxia: um, no, ark dosnt install programs from debs... it can only extract archives (which debs are, but thats not how you should install progrmas)
[20:01] <James147> pvivek: kill it, run the update in a terminal
[20:01] <Xevios> fuck him. update stucks mostly all time
[20:01] <Xevios> after this
[20:01] <Xevios> you can boot only in rec mode
[20:01] <Xevios> after checking .pkg files.
[20:01] <szal> !language | Xevios
[20:02] <arshinator> James147 : i mean i want the administrative privileges
[20:02] <Xevios> (
[20:02] <hroi>  "anybody know" the command line to start up the window decoration config?
[20:03] <James147> arshinator: ??
[20:03] <hroi> my system settings pannel seems a bit sparse , and doesnt a have this config
[20:03] <DarthFrog> arshinator:  "sudo -i" gives you root privileges.  At that point, you *are* root.
[20:04] <arshinator> James147: well when i just write "su" in the terminal it asks me for the password, and when i supply it the password which i set for my login, it says authentication failure
[20:04] <arshinator> so which password is it asking for that time
[20:04] <DarthFrog> arshinator: "su" requires a root account.  "sudo" doesn't.
[20:04] <BluesKaj> arshinator, just use sudo
[20:21] <pvivek> James147:thanks helped
[20:22] <skrillex> quelqun parle francais ?
[20:22] <pvivek> basic question, how to solve this E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[20:22] <pvivek> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[20:22] <pvivek> i am not able to figure out which process is using it. i can't see any. what is the way to releaze the lock..
[20:23] <skrillex> do you speak french, i have a problem with my Wifi connection , is just cable ... wifi no  sorry for my english lol
[20:23] <DarthFrog> pvivek:  Try "ps auxww | grep dpkg".
[20:23] <DarthFrog> !fr |skrillex
[20:24] <skrillex> yes , i speak french :S
[20:24] <pvivek> DarthFrog : thanks
[20:26] <go^> hello..i've just installed Kubuntu but banshee doesn't start O_o it loads and then crash..does anybody know why?
[20:30] <asfyxia> go^: banshee isn't a standard KDE-program. Why don you use Amarok or Clementine?
[20:30] <go^> asfyxia, amarok = too complicated, too slow..i'll try clementine thank you :)
[20:30] <go^> asfyxia, i've just installed kubuntu and banshee is default mp3 player ;)
[20:31] <BluesKaj> go^, that's a carry over from your gnome install
[20:31] <go^> BluesKaj, i haven't gnome mm
[20:32] <go^> probably was in some dependency :)
[20:32] <go^> (like avant-window-navigator)
[20:32] <BluesKaj> you did in the past then
[20:32] <go^> no BluesKaj , i've just installed Kubuntu :)
[20:32] <BluesKaj> go^,  depends how you unistalled gnome
[20:33] <go^> any other "small" music player? clementine is quite slow too :/
[20:33] <BluesKaj> alsaplayer
[20:33] <go^> lol
[20:33] <BluesKaj> lol?
[20:34] <asfyxia> clementine is a low-profile version of amarok
[20:35] <BluesKaj> anyawy, BBL

[22:59] <skierpage> What's the command to update to Kubuntu 12.04 alpha 2?
[23:00] <skierpage> http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?57044-Upgrading-11-10-to-12-04 suggests `sudo do-release-upgrade -f kde -d` , but after extracting precise.tar.gz, "can't load kde (No module named kde)"
[23:01] <skierpage> Oh wait, it is upgrading, it popped up "Distribution Upgrade". It's a Gnome app with no mention of KDE or Kubuntu, but it's doing something...
[23:01] <poyntz> hi
[23:02] <poyntz> there's no xorg.conf in oneric, so I was wondering, if I wanted to add a line to xorg.conf how do I do it?
[23:03] <poyntz> I want to add http://paste.kde.org/200018/
[23:04] <skierpage> poyntz, I haven't tried it, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config ?
[23:06] <skierpage> That's a poor explanation because you're already running X, so http://askubuntu.com/questions/4662/where-is-the-x-org-config-file-how-do-i-configure-x-there
[23:06] <ts2> poyntz: you should be able to add sections in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[23:06] <ts2> rather than creating an entire xorg.conf
[23:10] <poyntz> ts2, skierpage : if I add http://paste.kde.org/200018/ to 50-vmmouse.conf - will this cause issues?
[23:12] <poyntz> 50-vmmouse.conf is in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[23:12] <ts2> or just place it in another file, like /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-vbox.conf
[23:15] <poyntz> skierpage, ts2 - thanks :)
[23:16] <poyntz> skierpage, ts2 - do I need to restart X?
[23:16] <poyntz> - to get it to work
[23:16] <ts2> you'll want to log out, then choose "Restart the X Server" from the login menu (where it has the shutdown options)
[23:16] <skierpage> poyntz, very likely
[23:18] <poyntz> alright, fingers crossed
[23:18] <poyntz> thanks for the help :D
[23:31] <poyntz> ts2, skierpage : didn't have any luck :S
[23:31] <poyntz> I don't think X is looking at my new .conf file
[23:47] <skierpage> So poyntz, you just added that one bit to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ? I guess next thing is to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log contents.
[23:49] <skierpage> poyntz, I know little, but it sounds like you can exit X (stop your window manager), run the command to generate a config, and see if it has the bit you added to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, that might help debug.  And then you could use the new Xorg.conf file, though the directory of bits and pieces is more flexible.
