How can I fix it? [01:30] - by stuffed up, I mean things which are supported by my Graphics card now aren't [01:31] - whitelines, virtualbox doesn't work (aka, when i load up the OS, it will open the login screen but I can't hit Windows) [01:32] - I don't even have a xorg.conf file [01:32] so no idea how I've managed to do it [01:33] it couldn't be this could it? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/829548/ [01:34] basically I created a new file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ called 52-vbox.conf [01:34] hola [01:34] it contains everything in the paste above [01:35] hola a todo el mundo [01:35] !spanish > javier_ [01:35] javier_, please see my private message [01:36] es mi primer dia en este citio no tengo amigos ......! [01:37] i am about to install 11.10 and i was wondering if the installer will partition my ssd correctly, i heard partitioning an ssd optimally and correctly [01:37] often involves tweaking the start and end points of the partition precisely [01:39] si aca hay personas que hablen español, para charlar si se puede.....

[03:41] i' [03:42] m not having any probs accessing my home folder, and there is no evidenceit's even encrypted [04:23] i have expanded the 11.10 x64 iso to a usb key and installed to a new machine. 50% through installing updates, the machine became totally messed up [04:23] so i rebooted, verified the disk, tested the memory and reinstalled. then the same thing happened [04:24] if i open rekonq it says it can't handle http, and it opens up a bunch of gwenvideos with the images returned from the http request [04:24] if i click on the k button, i can open the four programs that are shown there, but the rest of it is totally depopulated [04:24] cant search [04:25] i can right click n the desktop run command and get a konsole [04:25] but i'm not sure how to back out of this borked update the right way === kalium is now known as Guest49028 [04:49] Hmm. Why is gnome-panel starting everytime I start kde? [04:53] Or rather where is the database file for the autostart settings that I found in ksystem settings [04:54] ...nvm [04:57] heyja [05:04] No idea if this is the right place... I can't seem to get my webcam to work in this new distro... it exists in the sound settings, registering properly, and even when it first installed it asked if i wanted to use my webcam to save my profile picture... now it won't work in skype OR Cheese. I heard routine updates can kill drivers... it's a GearHead webcam, not Logitech (notorious driver issues with those, i read). Any takers? [05:05] My blue-snowball microphone is also registering and not recording... but that's likely a seperate issue === winut_ is now known as winut [05:13] Nothing? anyone? [05:20] lorecaster: can't help you, but you have to be more patient. often times people get an answer hours after stating their question. [05:23] My usual limit is 10 minutes... if no one replies by then, I assume the room is empty and seek the answer on my own. I'm not green, but I am not proud either. [05:24] thanks though. [05:26] * photon sighs [05:48] hello :) [05:48] I'm new to irc [05:48] so could you plz tell me how i use quassel to connect to freenode [05:48] ??? [05:48] anyone? [05:49] you ARE connected to freenode. [05:50] but the config says i'm connected to irc.ubuntu.com [05:50] and i added irc.freenode.net to the list [05:50] but i can't seem to use it [05:50] irc.ubuntu.com redirects to irc.freenode.net [05:50] it's basically one and the same. [05:51] oh.... [05:51] sry about that. noob mistake [05:51] you can /join #freenode if you are still not convinced. :) [05:52] :) oh no i'll take your word for it.... just don't ask me to go to bash and type in rm * -R [05:52] :P [05:53] so I don't have much programming experience [05:53] just php [05:53] I know other languages but I don't know where to use them [05:54] can you suggest a project which can be understood by me [05:54] C/C++ or python doesn't matter [05:54] plz [05:55] what do you mean, suggest a project which can be understood by you? what exactly is it what you want to do? and btw, you are in the help channel for Kubuntu, there are other channels like ##programming #c++ #python ... [05:57] A project which is not so complex that i'll be baffled by the so many files that i'll lose interest [05:57] and yes I'm sorry about posing this queston here [05:58] you still haven't told us what you actually want to do? if you want to learn programming languages, start by writing your own simple programs... [05:59] I have done all the "text book" programs [06:00] the point is i want to contribute to a proper project, the main reason i use php is I can do a lot very easily and put it up on server [06:00] but when it comes to proper programming langs i can't get past those simple programs [06:01] I tried to study up on tomahawk player [06:01] but I couldn't get my head around all the files [06:01] so i want a simpler project [06:02] if you can't get past simple programs and still don't have much programming experience besides PHP, I don't think you'd be useful to a more complex project. I cannot suggest a simpler project, however. sorry about that. but again, other channels might be of more help. [06:02] okay [06:03] anyways hanks again for explaining the irc thing to me [06:03] adios [06:03] :)\ === folsto_ is now known as folsto === folsto is now known as folsto_ === folsto_ is now known as folsto === folsto is now known as folsto_ === folsto_ is now known as folsto [09:06] hello everyone, question: is it possible to disable showing / activating apps windows on desktop when hovering over icons in task bar with mouse, while keeping only small preview windows displayed === mick is now known as Guest5642 [09:22] As i'm only one seem to be alive, and i don't know the answer - just try not to hover mouse above the taskbar :) [09:23] * photon shoots sentinel_ [09:23] now, you're dead, too. [09:24] sentinel_, :) yep, great solution :) i believe there is solution better than changing my ux :) [09:29] What does ctrl + alt + F1 (dont try this unless you know what it does) actually do to my X session; can I get it back somehow? [09:30] new2net: yes, by pressing ctrl+alt+F7 [09:30] well, alt+F7 should suffice too [09:30] new2net: and it should do nothing to X session [09:31] thanks, you have no clue how many times I had my session freeze up and I had to kill a process but then couldn't get back... tried restarting gdm and x and 100 other things :) [09:31] I recall there's some bugs that do cause issues with changing tty, but yeah, bugs [09:32] haven't seen such issues for years myself I think [09:34] Tm_T, actually I have been using Unity with almost no bugs. The only thing it's been messing with is eclipse when I use ctrl+alt+[<|^|v|>] to switch screens. === jubo2 is now known as kunsole === kunsole is now known as jubo2 === [TSK] is now known as TSK [09:49] How do I install Acrobat Reader on x64 Kubuntu? I cannot find the package acroread and the debian package from Adobes website can only be isntalled on x86 systems ........ [09:49] Oxymoron: Okular won't do? [09:49] I just use Okular for PDF files. [09:51] Tm_T: Okular sucks, cannot read PDF properly as Adobe can. I cannot copy text and paste into Kate without problem. [09:51] Oxymoron: hmmm, I've been copying whole books without any issue [09:52] let's see whats the status with acroread [09:52] Tm_T: I get weird character pastes, like very weird \t tabulars and spaces. [09:52] I should copy programming code from Okular to Kate, and get compile error of wierd characters. [09:52] !find acroread [09:52] File acroread found in apparmor-profiles, claws-mail-tools, elementary-icon-theme, fvwm-crystal, geda-doc, gnome-colors-common, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux, gnome-orca, gnome-themes-more, icewm-themes (and 14 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=acroread&mode=&suite=oneiric&arch=any [09:53] !info acroread [09:53] Package acroread does not exist in oneiric [09:53] hmm [09:53] Tm_T: I tried to find acroread on google, but without success. [09:53] Oxymoron: it's on partners repository [09:54] Tm_T: I could try to force install x86 but from Adobes debian, into x64. but wouldnt it break it? [09:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Canonical_Partner_Repositories [09:54] Tm_T: I have canoncial debian repos. [09:54] debian? [09:55] Tm_T: Uhm or what it calls. [09:55] Oxymoron: see the url I pasted above (: [09:56] Tm_T: Already looked there, but cannot find the url to paste into sources [09:56] deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner [09:58] Tm_T: Thanks, lets see if that works better :) [09:58] Tm_T: If not, do you know if I can change settings in Okular to read documents UTF8 or paste different? === TSK|2 is now known as TSK === TSK is now known as Guest68319 === Guest68319 is now known as TSK [10:03] Tm_T: In acroread, the copy worked perfect, hmm. [10:04] Another problem in Okular is to copy text from multiple pages when you need to mark the text it doesnt scroll to another page, can only copy from one page xD [10:10] Oxymoron: I recall I had been copying multiple pages before [10:11] Tm_T: i can do with Pg Up and PG Dn and copy all etc. But i cannot start mark with mouse on one point and then drag the marking area from one page to another :S [10:14] atleast it works some way for you, I guess it doesn't matter with what tools [10:16] Well yeah it works, but quite annoying with things that doesnt work. Like the new Dolphin in KDE 4.8 that should be faster, rather slow down and freeze my system xD [10:18] hmmm, it's relatively fast here (: [10:18] is those animations that causes the issue? [10:19] Tm_T: Not sure, I just now it freezes sometimes. [10:20] hmmm [10:22] Tm_T: Frustrating, because freezes is one thing I do not want on Linux ... and expect from Winblows. [10:27] hi all [10:33] * TSK hasn't had a freeze on Linux, Mac, or Windows in ages. [10:34] I count myself lucky, cause freezes annoy me utterly. nvidia drivers used to cause me freezes on Linux allatime back in the old days. [10:40] TSK: How do you do? :O [10:40] TSK: 8 Core CPU, 10 GB RAM, SSD disk or what? :D [10:47] Oxymoron: I have a dual core CPU with 4 gig of RAM and about 4 TB of SATA HD space, and Kubuntu hasn't frozen on me in forever. [10:47] For about a month, this machine had Windows 7 on it, until I got sick of it and wiped it in favor of Linux, but Windows never froze on it either. [10:48] And at work we use Mac OS X which is Unix based and also hasn't froze on me for ages. Modern operating systems seem pretty good that way these days as long as the hardware is up to par. [10:51] TSK: Well, not working well on my laptop with Intel i3 latest 2.1 GHz, 4 GB RAM DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 and 500 GB HDD. [10:52] Both Winblows and Blinx fails. [10:55] Honestly, I've personally never had much luck with Linux on laptops myself, except my Acer Aspire One netbook. For some reason that took Kubuntu flawlessly and all the hardware just worked without complaint. Power management, wifi, bluetooth, everything. [10:56] First thing I did when I got the thing home actually was to boot it once in Windows, once in Android, and then boot it from Kubuntu USB and wiped both the other OS's and installed the Linux permanently. :) [10:58] TSK: Well it worked flawless on my old desktop PC earlier with Dual Core, 4 GB RAM, SSD and some crappy nVidia card- [10:59] The problem seems to be low RPM on laptop, high heat in the laptop, crappy graphics or crappy graphic software in Linux, I dont know. [10:59] nVidia's drivers are pretty good these days, but a couple years ago they were real hit-or-miss. [11:00] Heat can be a real issue with laptops I know. Have you tried one of those USB powered cooling pads? You could test if that'd help before buying one by using your laptop on a box fan or somesuch for a while. :) [11:03] TSK: It is not very hot yet, pretty new laptop and the shell is in aluminium. [11:04] I guess then the real problem is the laptop, how it is built [11:04] Would need to be cooler with awesome SSD, and not any fans at all in the laptop, only integrated chips for everything etc. [11:06] Honestly, I wouldn't know. My Acer is the first laptop I've ever had luck with Linux on. Desktops and towers have always worked pretty excellent, but until recently laptops have been nothing but a pain for me on Linux. [11:09] TSK: Yes, laptop is PITA. Same problem on both my Asus and Acer, both with NEW hardware, no luck. [11:09] Companys generate lot of money on laptops that doesnt work xD [11:10] It's just plain bizarre that some laptops from Acer work with Linux with ZERO hassle, and others from the same company will fight to the bitter end no matter which OS you throw at them. === yofel_ is now known as yofel === joel is now known as Guest40157 === ironfroggy_ is now known as Guest86623 [12:32] Hey there! Got some trouble with booting from MARVELL raid after updating the BIOS; Ubuntu doesn't find the raid drive, which I used to boot from.

[13:00] s/ under windows/under linux/ :) [13:04] James147: thanks, i think i will downgrade the bios to backup my data and then just go along with two seperate device due to cross plattform problems [13:10] James147, yes a dock..live avant-window-navigator [13:14] KuB_: the panel not good enough? [13:15] i need to put in a lot of util/program's launchers [13:15] KuB_: the panel can hanel that, and there are widgets to make it better at it [13:16] James147, thank you i'll try the panel :) [13:17] KuB_: you will find that kde is very flexable, you should be able to make plasma-desktop do waht you want and there are allot of thrid part applets desiged for it when it dosnt quite do what you want :) === folsto_ is now known as folsto === folsto_ is now known as folsto === david is now known as Guest63409 === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [14:39] Has anyone got the 'invert colors' under desktop effects in kubuntu to work? === ubuntu is now known as maxjezy [15:16] Hi.

[15:59] Kvaks: lsmod on a terminal [15:59] it'll list all the activated modules [15:59] elijah: uh, that's the default key binding for a page scroll [16:00] no idea where it can be changed though [16:00] It appears I cannot find all shortcuts mapped to a given key in the global shortcuts gui [16:01] shadeslayer: Thanks, gtk, it is problematic because when I take a typing lesson at typingweb.com , everytime I hit space to go to the next word it pushes me to the bottom of the screen. [16:08] Does anyone know where to change the default binding for a page scroll? [16:09] I cannot find it anywhere in global shortcuts or keyboard shortcuts [16:11] Or, is there a way to search all keyboard bindings? It appears I can only search one at a time. [16:20] Anyone here who can answer a fre questions 'bout akonadi? [16:22] just read a few things about it - can one us it for other data that mail/contacts etc as well? AFAIK it is just an "interface" for the data, something like a database persistency objects framework? [16:22] is this possible? [16:25] e.g. (if I understood correctly) with a custom serializerplugin you could use it as DPO-Framework for ANY type of (e.g. CRM) data [16:32] droetker: #akonadi might be able to advise [16:33] thx [16:34] elijah: space works just fine here [16:34] I tried the first tutorial, the one with j's and f's [16:36] how i can add repo from terminal [16:36] shadeslayer: On Chrome, which version are you using? [16:36] 18.0.1025.1 dev [16:36] elijah: I'm using google-chrome , not chromium btw [16:37] shadeslayer: Thanks, I am on stable 16.0.912.77 so maybe I will try that. I am using Konqueror for right now, plus I have a paid account so maybe it changes if I log in, I will log out and try the first lesson not logged in. Thanks for trying that! [16:38] elijah: okay, the package name is google-chrome-unstable if it helps [16:38] Xevios: use "apt-add-repository" (with sudo) [16:38] shadeslayer: Can I install that side by side? [16:39] uhh ... not sure [16:39] nope [16:40] shadeslayer: K, it works fine if I am not logged in so something else is going on. [16:40] elijah: otoh, unstable has only crashed once for me so far [16:40] hmm [16:40] Not really sure where to report the issue though, maybe the website or maybe Chromium? [16:41] error, need a repo argument? [16:41] wouldn't have the slightest idea, although since you pay for the service, i'd say start there [16:41] Xevios: see the output of "apt-add-repository --help" [16:41] hey why is it that kubuntu fonts look so atrocious! [16:41] shadeslayer: K, thanks [16:41] pritojs: atrocious as compared to what? [16:41] I mean every thing on kde works like a charm [16:41] compared to gnome/unity [16:42] and it's using the same fonts [16:42] pritojs: both of them use the same font family [16:42] maybe some aliasing problem [16:42] so I'm not sure how it looks any different [16:42] probably [16:42] they look just fine here [16:42] anyone know how to fix it [16:42] ?

[18:25] ps run | awk {print $1} ..... says } mission...why? [18:25] missing [18:26] Gerald: you are missing the quotes [18:26] why do i need them? [18:29] can i use my magic trackpad with kubuntu btw is there support for it? [18:29] ok ty for the answer btw DasKreecH [18:29] im using matlab to call that [18:29] Gerald: otherwise your } will go missing :) [18:29] system('ps run | awk '{print $1}'') ....unexpected EOF while looking for matching ' [18:30] Gerald: a single quote is not a double quote [18:30] i need the quotes for system.... [18:30] Gerald: try system("ps run | awk '{print $1'}") [18:30] Gerald: try system("ps run | awk '{print $1}'") [18:31] does kubuntu have any unique peripherals like the magic trackpad? [18:31] though, it's best to avoid system() like the plague [18:31] i use sprintf in matlab [18:31] FujiontheCloud: You can use it :) I'm not sure how deep the support for it is [18:31] oh ok [18:33] DasKreecH, ok wirks now ...but ps returns USER 1000 [18:33] why? [18:33] Gerald: are you french? [18:33] where is the offtopic channel btw? [18:33] no [18:33] Gerald: :) [18:33] Gerald: cause youare using run I would suspect [18:33] Gerald: look at the output of "ps run", then see what "ps run | awk '{print $1}'" does [18:34] !offtopic [18:34] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [18:34] ty [18:34] FujiontheCloud: Apparently it has support for it [18:34] oh cool [18:43] ts works now [18:43] can i remove the PID from the string? [18:43] "ps run | awk '{print $2}'" [18:43] Gerald: to get just the last line, add "| tail -1" to the end of the command [18:43] Gerald: You want the ps listing with the PID removed? [18:44] i only want to see the number [18:44] thx ts2 :D [18:44] So what's wrong with "ps x | awk '{print $1}'? [18:44] its 2 [18:45] "ps run | awk '{print $2}' tail -1" [18:55] how can i find that process? http://codepad.org/xW4XUnJ9 [19:01] Gerald: Do you need to use run? [19:01] run is a batch file to start java [19:01] bash [19:01] what's this packageitd that is using so much CPU? [19:01] what is the opposite of tail? [19:01] Does anybody have crash (Segmentation fault) of KWIN with Kubuntu 11.10 AND Lucid? It crashes at boot or when I active Desktop Effects! [19:02] ok head [19:04] Gerald: ... so you are looking for the process run? [19:05] zacarias: it's looking for updates for packages I think [19:05] You are not telling ps to use the instructions run? [19:06] yes [19:06] run is the bash fine [19:06] file [19:07] i also need to kill the java application which is started by run [19:08] Gerald: try system("ps x | grep run | awk '{print $1}'") [19:09] zacarias: that's the backend process for packagekit (use by kpackagekit/apper) [19:09] *used by [19:10] yofel: ok. [19:13] Äîáðûé äåíü [19:14] íóæíà ïîìîùü [19:15] masterplan: Geshundheit! === liveuser is now known as DasKreecH [19:18] can someone help me please [19:18] tbruff13: Maybe [19:19] Probably not. [19:19] !ask [19:19] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:19] I am looking to see if ubuntu advantage supports kubuntu [19:19] DarthFrog: well depends. if the help is with Kubuntu then probably! [19:19] tbruff13: Could you give some more details? [19:19] DasKreecH: But until he lets us know what help he needs ... [19:19] i am working with my local school board to put ubuntu into schools, and I thought that I would use ubuntu [19:20] but i have to use a LTS [19:20] DarthFrog: Yeah there are a lot of problems in the world people need help with [19:20] * DasKreecH needs new shoes [19:20] Stupid big GNOME sized feet :-( [19:20] :-) [19:20] tbruff13: 10.0 and the upcoming 12.04 are LTS.
