[00:34] 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] jcgs: no, you can use the same identity for more than 1 [00:43] claydoh: what's the difference between doing that, and having separate identities? [00:44] 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] one has my fullname, while another uses my nickname for xample [00:45] ok :) thanks, but does it mean that things are sorted differently for example, or auto selecting the right address to send from [00:46] each email usually has its own inbox, or can be set up that way [00:47] hmm [00:48] i think you pick a default mail address [00:48] been a while since I used a single identity [00:48] hmmm [00:52] replies are sent using the originating email, not sure how you compose using a particular address [00:53] without having identities [00:55] #list [00:57] hi, any discussions about kmail? :D [00:58] I cannot view inbox in my imap, only spam :D [00:58] I get errors like "Unable to append item flags." [01:05] Cheers claydoh, I went for the different identites anyway, seems it's pretty easy to switch e-mail accounts between than [01:05] yes, jcgs it is [01:07] 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] tho not necessarily all [01:08] i have not seen that problem myself [01:10] Rokixz: filtering may be broken, may want to try disabling that to see if it a cause of that for you [01:10] claydoh, I did upgrade to 4.8, I'll try to disable the filtering :) [01:11] wost case scenario Rokixz would be to delete and recreate the imap account :( [01:12] ok, just recreated gmail acc [01:12] and still received that notification [01:13] and where should I disable filtering? [01:14] did you add a spam filter? === david is now known as Guest83619 [01:14] nope [01:14] I just installed kubuntu and configured [01:14] I had same issue under Arch [01:15] after 4.8 upgrade [01:15] then its not the problem :( [01:15] seems to be an upstream bug [01:15] as I saw on google, but damn I thought there is a solution for it :) [01:15] kmail is an upstream bug :( === Guest83619 is now known as thekleine [01:23] man, 11.1 is about as stable for me as charlie manson off his meds [01:23] logs dont seem to show anything really [01:24] can any one help trouble shoot?

[03:56] 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] tempo: install them manually then pin them [04:22] 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] signal09: what does apt-get dist-upgrade do? [04:36] Daskreech, forces me to run apt-get -f install; which of course complains about the dpkg error above [04:36] apt-get install libkactivities-bin [04:37] Daskreech, threw "trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd', which is also in package kde-runtime 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu0.1" [04:38] been searching around google, but no solution :( [04:41] :-/ [04:41] apt-cache policy kde-runtime [04:43] actually just grabbed the new .deb package and tried a dpkg -i --force-all; see if it clears it up [04:43] WQOOHOO [04:43] worked [04:44] i should note; i went from ubuntu 11.10, added sources for KDE 4.8 then upgraded [04:46] gotta reboot.. thank Daskreech for the help tho [04:46] ok [05:44] anyone know how to disable the windows from snapping/resizing on screen edge in KDE? [06:02] mink: alt+f2 -> Screen edges [08:37] 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] 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] o/ [08:45] \o [08:45] arlen89: yes pretty much [08:45] !grub [08:45] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [08:46] you can always restore if anything [08:49] Daskreech: true. i tend to be annoyingly cautious when doing something for the first time. thank you. [09:40] 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] System Settings > Sharing doesn't have anything. [09:45] 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] I guess I install openssh-server and f*** around with `sshd [-46DdeiqTt] ` [09:56] or, enable sharing on the windows box and just copy the files over [09:59] 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] 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] ts2, I already have WinSCP (based on Putty I think). Pleasant surprise: I installed openssh-server package, `sudo service ssh restart`, and sftp me@ works! === jubo2_ is now known as jubo2 === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:42] guys anyone using broadcom 4313 on kubuntu 64 bits ?! [11:42] Hello. Just installed kubuntu 11.10. No sound at all. Please help [11:43] because i cannot cannect to any network [11:43] its using brcmsmac driver and if i try to connect i got stuck on configuring hardware [11:43] and if i'm lucky my pc is not blocked [11:44] My sound hardware is integrated NVidia ALC888 === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [12:23] hi guys.. recently i switched from ubuntu to Kubuntu... [12:23] and? [12:23] I am stuck with a basic task.. I am not able to add desktop icons in kubuntu [12:23] when i dragging and dropping icons from kmenu, it is not working.. [12:24] 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] Mamarok: I is adding the icons to the desktop but to the desktop folder. [12:25] Mamarok: how can i add the icons to the desktop folder. [12:25] you can't add icons to the desktop folder, that is showing the content of a particular folder only [12:26] add the icons to the desktop, and in the desktop folder options choose to display the desktop [12:26] but it doesn't really make much sense that way :) [12:27] Mamarok: okay.... [12:39] Mamarok: another doubt.. how can i resize the icons size in the desktop?? [12:43] hover over it, there is a option bar appearing, the icon on top allows you to resize [12:48] Mamarok: okay.. actually it is already smallest... check this link: http://picpaste.com/snapshot1-WCtfPlye.png [12:48] my icons are not properly aligned.. [12:48] I faced the same issue some time back [12:52] Mamarok: anyway I can align them properly?? [12:55] abhijeet: there is a grid desktop option as desktop type, maybe that helps. I've never used it though [12:56] yofel: where is that option? [12:56] right click on desktop -> Layout: [12:56] er, settings -> Layout: [12:57] yofel: it's not there.. I can only see 1 View 2. Mouse action [12:57] abhijeet: at the View part, there's a drop down box for the Layout [12:57] unless that has changed since 4.7... [12:58] yofel: yes.. i think it has changed in 4.8.. [12:59] hi. does kubuntu support 3d video files if I have a 3d video card/monitor? [12:59] I am able to resize icons by hand but I d't think its correct process. [12:59] yofel: why this KDE is so hard to use... [12:59] it was there in 4.7 though, possibly called differently [12:59] I am not even able to do the basic tasks. [12:59] I'm fine with it - and I have the icons in the panel anyway [13:00] yofel: panel layout is missing from that list [13:00] uh, the panel settings are in the panel settings. As every panel can have it's own settings [13:01] it's not everything in the same window [13:01] ok [13:03] 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] win7 style [13:03] yofel: I think most settings are there in the folder view.. [13:03] yofel: let me check if that works [13:05] 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] hm yeah, the grid desktop can align stuff [13:13] hi. does kubuntu support 3d video files if I have a 3d video card/monitor? [13:15] photon no problem use vlc :) [13:16] vlc can play 3d whitout any problem :) [13:16] sleepy: ok :) thanks [13:19] photon or look here http://stream-recorder.com/forum/stereoscopic-player-linux-play-3d-video-linux-t8452.html :) [13:37] 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] sleepy: cool thanks! I didn't know you can even make them appear as red-cyan output. [13:41] photon no problem :) [14:18] my system seems to be stuck in UTC mode how can I fix this?

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] 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] Anyone know what the problem may be?

In fact, I can't even see the "WLAN Interface" [17:58] I've tried updating/installing drivers with no luck... [18:01] lorecaster: what happens if you do apt-get update and try install again that kde-runtime? [18:01] lorecaster: if it still fails, show me your kubuntu-ppa-backports-oneiric.list [18:03] 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] I really admire you guys...

It didn't do anything at all? [18:10] BennyPlayboy, , good thay means no errors [18:10] that [18:10] BennyPlayboy, try a relogin or reboot [18:11] lorecaster: for some reason, your kde doesn't get upgraded as a whole [18:11] Okay, will do [18:12] 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] lorecaster: so I suggest you add more kde packages to your "sudo apt-get install " until you get the breakthrough [18:14] lorecaster: you prolly end up having some package removed in order to proceed [18:14] hi skfin [18:15] hi Tm_T [18:15] 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] My irssi hanged up and ate my server's cpu [18:15] I'm completely comfortable removing all the existing KDE packages... i wouldn't even know which ones to add in order to patch this.

[19:22] arshinator, open system monitor [19:23] process table [19:24] no [19:25] BlueKaj, there is no package manager running as such [19:25] arshinator, open a terminal , sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:26] BlueKaj, "dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process" [19:27] arshinator: run "pgrep dpkg" if it prints any numbers then dpkg is running somewhere, if not then delete the lock file [19:28] arshinator, or , sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock [19:28] ^^ or taht [19:28] James147, it returned 2606 [19:28] arshinator: then it is runnin [19:28] (background update?)

[19:40] 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?

But i have all my pass'es with tabs in google acc. [19:43] Oh [19:43] Thx [19:43] Working [19:43] xevios: do sudo apt-get install chromium-browser in the terminal [19:43] 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] how i can install *deb* packeges [19:52] ? [19:52] by clicking? [19:54] 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] Xevios: you should beable to click it in dolphin, or you can run "sudo dpkg -i " [19:55] asfyxia , skype. [19:55] 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] !su | arshinator [19:56] arshinator: 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 [19:56] !root | arshinator [19:56] arshinator: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:58] ubottu | szal : actually i want to access the root directory....so i want to go su...but not able to do so [19:58] arshinator: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:58] arshinator: what root directory? [19:58] szal: the root folder? [19:58] i want to access that [19:58] define 'access' [19:59] arshinator: use "sudo -i" to get a root shell [19:59] 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] xevios: when you downloaded a .deb-file, you can install it with Ark [20:00] kubuntu Software Updates stuck at 61% from more than an hour. any suggestions? [20:00] 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] pvivek: kill it, run the update in a terminal [20:01] fuck him. update stucks mostly all time [20:01] after this [20:01] you can boot only in rec mode [20:01] after checking .pkg files.

[20:02] James147 : i mean i want the administrative privileges [20:02] ( [20:02] "anybody know" the command line to start up the window decoration config? [20:03] arshinator: ?? [20:03] my system settings pannel seems a bit sparse , and doesnt a have this config [20:03] arshinator: "sudo -i" gives you root privileges. At that point, you *are* root. [20:04] 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] so which password is it asking for that time [20:04] arshinator: "su" requires a root account. "sudo" doesn't. [20:04] arshinator, just use sudo [20:21] James147:thanks helped [20:22] quelqun parle francais ? [20:22] basic question, how to solve this E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [20:22] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Why don you use Amarok or Clementine? [20:30] asfyxia, amarok = too complicated, too slow..i'll try clementine thank you :) [20:30] asfyxia, i've just installed kubuntu and banshee is default mp3 player ;) [20:31] go^, that's a carry over from your gnome install [20:31] BluesKaj, i haven't gnome mm [20:32] probably was in some dependency :) [20:32] (like avant-window-navigator) [20:32] you did in the past then [20:32] no BluesKaj , i've just installed Kubuntu :) [20:32] go^, depends how you unistalled gnome [20:33] any other "small" music player? clementine is quite slow too :/ [20:33] alsaplayer [20:33] lol [20:33]
