| prower | hello everyone :> i hate to ask a question that's probably been brought up many times but i haven't seen a clear answer online yet...since canonical is pulling financial support for kubuntu, what does that mean for the future of the project? is kde/qt even still going to be available in the repositories? :/ | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC | prower: From what I've gathered, jridell hasn't been doing much for Kubuntu anyway since before 11.04 shipped | 00:42 |
| DaemonFC | between Canonical "borrowing" him for other projects and that car crash late last year, Kubuntu has had to push two releases without much involvement from him | 00:42 |
| DaemonFC | that's not a good thing, but on the flip side it shows that Canonical's involvement isn't essential for Kubuntu to continue (and it would be bad if it did need them to go on) | 00:43 |
| DaemonFC | as for if there will be any more LTS releases, I'm not sure, but Xubuntu has pushed LTS releases without and official help from Canonical beyond what Kubuntu will be getting from now on | 00:45 |
| DaemonFC | so it's likely that LTS releases will still happen | 00:45 |
| DaemonFC | 12.04 LTS will definitely still be an LTS | 00:45 |
| prower | DaemonFC: Hmm...not good news overall definitely, but hopefully you're right...there are a lot of great qt based projects out there, it'd be a shame for qt to become deprecated in ubuntu "proper" | 00:46 |
| DaemonFC | it's at least no worse off than Lubuntu and Xubuntu are, and they manage | 00:48 |
| === xxx is now known as Guest22284 | ||
| === ironfroggy_ is now known as Guest79648 | ||
| prower | DaemonFC: that's a very good point as well, yes :> i haven't run lubuntu but the last xubuntu release i tried out was quite well done...i just prefer kde as an environment and qt as a development platform (that i'm learning the basics on :>) | 00:50 |
| DaemonFC | if any project is so tied to one or two people in particular that it can't function without them, you should probably ask if you want to use it anyway | 00:53 |

| dies_irae | ei | 01:55 |
| dies_irae | anyone around? | 01:55 |
| dies_irae | I think i know what happened, kubuntu asked me something about permanently remove some audio devices and i thought it woas the webcam so I said yes. | 01:56 |
| dies_irae | how to roll back this mistake? | 01:56 |
| dies_irae | 'Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?' | 01:59 |
| DaemonFC | they should still be listed under the audio hardware setup tab | 02:00 |
| dies_irae | how to re-add the hardware? | 02:36 |
| dies_irae | I accidenaly clicked 'permanently remove devices' | 02:36 |

| Oxymoron | Is it true Canoncial are going to unplug Kubuntu? | 07:36 |
| Unit193 | Oxymoron: No | 07:36 |
| Oxymoron | Unit193: Read about it in the news earlier. | 07:37 |
| Unit193 | Not going to "unplug", just not funding it (just like how they aren't for L, X, and Edubuntu) | 07:37 |
| Oxymoron | Unit193: I would like Canoncial to ONLY develop Kubuntu. It is Ubuntu that sucks. ubuntu is the only one out for the public that they announce. I am pretty sure very much would like Kubuntu more. | 07:38 |
| Unit193 | I won't comment on that, it's not on-topic either. | 07:39 |
| Unit193 | Oxymoron: http://apachelog.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/how-kubuntu-did-not-change/ | 07:40 |
| Oxymoron | Unit193: Ah thanks for the reading, was clear it up a little :) | 07:43 |
| Unit193 | Yep | 07:44 |
| Oxymoron | Someday I hope Kubuntu is so stable and compatible with things like external devices, HDMI, new graphic cards, audio so I can throw away Windows for good. | 07:45 |
| Oxymoron | It is so close to being awesome. | 07:45 |
| Tm_T | Oxymoron: it has been stable and compatible for me for years (: | 07:45 |
| Oxymoron | Tm_T: Well yes sorry kind of stable. But for me I got several problems with graphics, audio not working at all (pulseaudio/alsa problems), HDMI not working at all. Then not able to find iphone, mediastreamers etc. | 07:46 |
| Oxymoron | Tm_T: For instance, my audio has manually need to be switched if I plug in headphones, USB speakers or HDMI audio. It should be switch automaticly IMO. | 07:48 |
| Tm_T | Oxymoron: YMWV | 07:49 |
| Oxymoron | Then I do not understand why not anyone repolish/redesign the Kickoff menu, it locks ridicolous and is very unefficent to browse between software launches. Lancelot and alternatives are not better. | 07:49 |

| schnelle | zaxor: yay! :) | 09:50 |
| zaxor | package manager works yeah | 09:51 |
| zaxor | but I cannot locate the updater where is it | 09:51 |
| schnelle | cypr1nus: maybe message indicator? you can check it in system tray settings | 09:51 |
| schnelle | zaxor: hit alt+f2 and type update | 09:52 |
| schnelle | it should appear | 09:52 |
| cypr1nus | schnelle: i'll find it, thank you ;] | 09:52 |
| zaxor | what is the proper name for it as that did nothing | 09:53 |
| schnelle | it appears as muon update manager at my system | 09:53 |
| schnelle | cypr1nus: right click on system tray>system tray setting | 09:54 |
| zaxor | nope that didn't work either | 09:54 |
| schnelle | and then you should find it | 09:54 |
| schnelle | zaxor: go to muon package manager and type muon | 09:55 |
| schnelle | and see if muon-updater is installed | 09:56 |
| cypr1nus | schnelle: yep, just found it. In kubuntu i had an envelope icon, but maybe it's just an icon issue, and the app in the background is the same | 09:56 |
| zaxor | yes it says it is installed | 09:56 |
| zaxor | okay by me it is moun-updater and it worked | 09:57 |
| zaxor | how can I make sure it goes somewhere in the apps so I can use it | 09:57 |
| schnelle | zaxor: reboot you system :) and then try typing in menu or in krunner (alt+f2 for krunner) muon | 09:58 |
| schnelle | and muon updater should appear | 09:58 |
| zaxor | okay thanks man appreciate it | 09:58 |

| zaxor | ah thanks yours isn't there either | 10:12 |
| schnelle | also you can update your system from muon package manager | 10:12 |

| Combatjuan | Hello. I'm trying to enable desktop effects in kde4. When I try and enable them I get a message saying they failed to load. Looking at .xsession-errors I see "Couldn't find framebuffer configuration for depth 32 (no ARGB GLX visual)!". | 14:37 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, open command line type xrandr | 14:37 |
| midbifroid | xrandr : cant open displat ... should i go start session? | 14:38 |
| Combatjuan | I'm using the blob nvidia driver, kde 4.8, xorg 1:7.6, on kubuntu. | 14:38 |
| Combatjuan | My Xorg.0.log has no errors and none of the warnings seem relevant. My screen sections in Xorg.conf have depth '24' and if I try and change them to '32' it says they are unsupported. | 14:38 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, have you tried kwin --replace | 14:39 |
| Combatjuan | If I run glxinfo and look through the list of GLX Visuals, none of them have depth 32, but I don't really understand who is demanding that they be 32. From everything that I've read, compositing should expect 24. | 14:39 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: I have not. | 14:39 |
| Kurdistan | try. | 14:39 |
| midbifroid | Kurdistan wait i m going to star session | 14:39 |
| midbifroid | i was talking from another pc | 14:40 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Ok. It gives some information about my nvidia driver, and then I get the same 3 errors (starting with no ARGB GLX visual, then failed to initialize compositing, then a link to techbase.kde.org) | 14:40 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, glxinfo | grep render give information | 14:40 |

| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Yeah, I've seen that one. But I've also seen counter-claims that people can use Xinerama and nvidia with desktop effects on the newer drivers. I'll see if I can find one. | 14:46 |
| Combatjuan | Twinview is not an option because I have 3 monitors. | 14:47 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, maybe "Okay, I fixed it. The problem was that I had XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS environment variable set to "1". Unsetting it fixed the problem and now I get working OpenGL compositing with KDE 4.1." | 14:47 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: I've seen that as well. I assumed they meant as an environment variable? $ env | grep XLIB give me nothing. | 14:48 |

| Kurdistan | env KWIN_COMPOSE=O kwin --replace | 14:49 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Seems to have done the same thing as running kwin --replace. So after krunner I ran it in a konsole and again received the output I pasted before. | 14:49 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, hmm it can på driver-related | 14:50 |
| Kurdistan | I can not get effects working in 290.* nvidia drivers | 14:50 |
| Kurdistan | I am running latest beta driver | 14:50 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Also with Xinerama? | 14:50 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, no, with twinview. | 14:50 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Yeah, mine is (I think) the latest beta driver. It was at the top of the list yesterday for Linux 64. Though there is a newer one on windows (295). | 14:51 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Alas, I can get compositing to work with twinview. But I would have to toss out a monitor. | 14:51 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, I am using 295.17 | 14:51 |
| midbifroid | Kurdistan now i have the file xorg.conf in etc/X11 :) bur some errors in x -configure, now waiting :) | 14:52 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, have you looked to .xsession-errors ? | 14:53 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, hope it works for you. | 14:53 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: I can't find the 295 driver for linux 64 (GeForce 200 series, English US). I'm looking at http://www.geforce.com/Drivers/Beta. Can you post a link to download it? | 14:54 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Yeah, .xsession-errors has the same error message as kwin --replace is giving me plus various nepomuk, soprano, and other silly errors. | 14:55 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, yes I can: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=cecdcf11693308398de1ef1fd177e5a9&t=122606 | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | Combatjuan, for what it's worth my older nvidia 7600gt is using the nvidia-current driver which is the 290 ... yes the 295 is W7 driver atm, but it's not recommended even for dev OS like 12.04 which I'm running ...nvidia-current is your best bet | 14:55 |
| jimmy51_ | when i boot the livecd, it makes it to the graphical portion and my monitor goes to sleep. i can hit ctrl-alt-f5 to get text only (the system is running) but it appears graphics aren't working. what should i do? | 14:56 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Thanks. I'll give that a try. Hmmm... Ok, nvidia-current wasn't giving me any love either. I guess I'll poke it some more. Might be back later. Again, thanks so much for the help. | 14:56 |
| Kurdistan | BluesKaj, :) I compiled 295.17 with buntu specs. :P | 14:56 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, have you tried the legacy nvidia drivers? | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | Kurdistan, well , no matter , it's still a bleeder , espacially on 11.10 | 14:57 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: I have not. I got the impression reading forums that the older ones explicitly don't work with Xinerama. | 14:57 |
| Kurdistan | BluesKaj, true, but the only one working for me at the moment. | 14:57 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Should I be installing 32 bit open gl libs with the blob installer? Or is that almost certainly completely orthogonal to this problem? | 14:58 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, try to install 173.* (legacy) | 14:58 |
| Kurdistan | maybe it would work | 14:58 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: I'll try that as well. But probably not until the end of the day. If I fail you'll probably see me about this time Monday. (-8 | 14:59 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, I hope it will be fixed. | 14:59 |
| Kurdistan | if I am online I will try help you | 14:59 |
| Combatjuan | Actually you probably won't. My wife was due with our second child 3 days ago and still hasn't popped. But I'll bet I'm not around Monday. | 14:59 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Are you paid support or just generally awesome? | 15:00 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, :) daddy. | 15:00 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, not paid. I am only liking kubuntu. | 15:00 |
| Combatjuan | Kurdistan: Well have a great day and a nice weekend. | 15:00 |
| Kurdistan | Combatjuan, you to. take care. | 15:00 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, do you have hybrid card? | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | Combatjuan, we're all volunteers here | 15:01 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: it's the standard VGA adapter on an HP Proliant DL 160 G6 | 15:01 |
| jimmy51_ | (server) | 15:02 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, again graphical card? | 15:02 |
| === Guest8065 is now known as ironfroggy | ||
| midbifroid | X :1 +xinerama (and monitor 2 lights on) but nothing :D its a great step | 15:02 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: maybe a MGA-G200E. windows just says standard VGA. | 15:03 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: (by matrox) | 15:03 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, lspci -nn | grep VGA | 15:03 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, this is not windows support channel. | 15:04 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, great :). | 15:04 |
| midbifroid | monitor 2 disconnected, but, detected as DVI-0 :(, know it have 2 connectors 1 vga and 1 hdmi, but i want not to use hdmi, only vga | 15:05 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, install arandr | 15:06 |
| midbifroid | what next step Kurdistan ? | 15:06 |
| midbifroid | xrandr ? | 15:06 |
| midbifroid | arandr? | 15:06 |
| Kurdistan | arandr is xrandr gui | 15:06 |
| midbifroid | oks | 15:06 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, sudo apt-get install arandr | 15:07 |
| midbifroid | ready | 15:07 |
| midbifroid | no vga detected | 15:08 |
| midbifroid | 2º vga sorry | 15:08 |
| Kurdistan | you should be able to enable/disable | 15:08 |
| midbifroid | no i can not | 15:08 |
| midbifroid | i only have VGA-0 and DVI-0 (untouchable), but it must be VGA-0 VGA-1 | 15:09 |
| midbifroid | 1º card is VGA, 2º card is VGA+HDMI | 15:10 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, xrandr --output S-video --same-as VGA-0 | 15:10 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, when you write xrandr | 15:11 |
| midbifroid | not fund but: xrandr --output DVI-0 --same-as VGA-0 | 15:11 |
| Kurdistan | what kind of output do you get? | 15:11 |
| midbifroid | no erros | 15:11 |
| midbifroid | but no mesages | 15:11 |
| midbifroid | simple ok | 15:11 |
| midbifroid | still can not active dvi-0/vga-1 | 15:12 |
| midbifroid | is my linux knowing that my 2º card have 2 connectors ? | 15:14 |
| midbifroid | i think not | 15:14 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, lspci -nn | grep VGA | 15:14 |
| midbifroid | null | 15:14 |
| midbifroid | 0 lines | 15:15 |
| midbifroid | o surry | 15:15 |
| midbifroid | case sensitive | 15:15 |
| midbifroid | yeah 2 atis | 15:15 |
| midbifroid | oooooh | 15:15 |
| midbifroid | thats the problem | 15:15 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, how can you have 2 ati cards in one computer? | 15:15 |
| midbifroid | Ati Radeon HD 6800 PowerColor is detected as AMD Radeon HD 6500 | 15:15 |
| Kurdistan | sudo aticonfig --initial <<<----- what do you get when you run this | 15:16 |
| midbifroid | aticonfig : command not found | 15:16 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: xforcevesa noapic irqpoll got it to boot | 15:16 |
| midbifroid | i never had to buy that card :S | 15:16 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: not sure which of those (or a combo)... i guess i'll have to experiment | 15:17 |
| midbifroid | i dont think about 2 cars of same brand | 15:17 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, great. :) | 15:17 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, if you wanted to save remenber sudo kate /etc/default/grub | 15:17 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: yeah... i'm relieved. | 15:17 |
| Kurdistan | and make the change and then sudo update-grub | 15:17 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: i think it will be more complex than that... since this is a livecd and not an installed environment. | 15:18 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, okey then you do not need it. | 15:18 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: to top it off, i've actually got it PXE booting, mounting NFS share, and then booting. i'll have to dig around for where the grub config is again. | 15:18 |
| Kurdistan | jimmy51_, good lyck. | 15:18 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, have you looked for drivers in jockey | 15:19 |
| Kurdistan | any avaible for you? | 15:19 |
| midbifroid | what is jockey? sorry | 15:19 |
| jimmy51_ | Kurdistan: thanks... the livecd is cool but not too many people customize it (or at least not enough to leave a plethora of forum posts pointing to how to do stuff). it's all old fashioned investigation. have a good one. | 15:19 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, alt+f2 and then type: jockey | 15:20 |
| Kurdistan | enter | 15:20 |
| midbifroid | password? | 15:20 |
| midbifroid | who is jockey !! what are he doing in my pc? XD lol | 15:20 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, no password should be asked. | 15:20 |
| midbifroid | yea | 15:20 |
| midbifroid | password | 15:20 |
| midbifroid | problem | 15:20 |
| tsimpson | log in first ^ then type commands | 15:20 |
| midbifroid | is asking for password | 15:21 |
| tsimpson | use your username and password to login | 15:21 |
| midbifroid | ok | 15:21 |
| tsimpson | hold on (reading backlog), are you at a TTY? | 15:21 |
| tsimpson | or just running a command from the runner | 15:22 |
| Kurdistan | Tscheesy_, tty. | 15:22 |
| midbifroid | i found aticonfig | 15:22 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, install it :). | 15:22 |
| midbifroid | in /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig | 15:22 |
| midbifroid | is installed here i dont know why | 15:22 |
| midbifroid | but : No supported adapters detected | 15:22 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, systemsettings and then screen | 15:23 |
| Kurdistan | have you tried active that way? | 15:23 |
| midbifroid | tsimpson i was in TTY2 | 15:23 |
| midbifroid | how ? | 15:23 |
| Kurdistan | alt+f2 type systemsettings | 15:24 |
| Kurdistan | enter | 15:24 |
| Kurdistan | then you have section with hardware | 15:24 |
| Kurdistan | there it should be monitor/screen/display | 15:24 |
| midbifroid | oky | 15:24 |
| midbifroid | Sreen and monitor | 15:25 |
| midbifroid | it apears 2 | 15:25 |
| midbifroid | the second inactive | 15:25 |
| midbifroid | and intouchable | 15:25 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, maybe thats the name, I am not using english kubuntu. | 15:25 |
| midbifroid | the second monitor can not be actived, and appears as DVI-0 not as VGA-1 | 15:25 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, out of ideas. | 15:26 |
| midbifroid | is detected as ati hd 6500 but is 6800 | 15:26 |
| midbifroid | :S | 15:26 |
| midbifroid | and xinerama? | 15:26 |
| Kurdistan | maybe if you tweak in xorg.conf | 15:26 |
| midbifroid | i think about copy screen in the file | 15:26 |
| midbifroid | but | 15:26 |
| midbifroid | it already exists | 15:26 |
| Kurdistan | kdesudo kate /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 15:26 |
| Kurdistan | kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf <<-- sorrry should be like this. | 15:27 |
| midbifroid | ok | 15:27 |
| midbifroid | section device Card0 ok ati working | 15:28 |
| midbifroid | pci:1:5:0 | 15:28 |
| Kurdistan | cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf <<--- can you pass this information to us? use pastebin. | 15:28 |
| midbifroid | ok | 15:28 |
| midbifroid | http://pastebin.com/BKyh9WKw | 15:31 |
| midbifroid | i think the problem may be in the BusID "PCI:2:0:0" but i dont understand the parts of that nomenclature | 15:34 |
| midbifroid | in the bios i confiured interal graphics , has something to do? | 15:35 |
| midbifroid | it was necesary to have 2 screens in windows7 | 15:35 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, you have hybrid card? | 15:38 |
| midbifroid | what means with hybrid ? | 15:38 |
| Kurdistan | some vendors let you disable one in the bios | 15:39 |
| midbifroid | vga+hdmi ? | 15:39 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 15:39 |
| midbifroid | the internal graphics mode option in bios | 15:41 |
| midbifroid | there are 4 options | 15:41 |
| midbifroid | 1) gfx0-gpp-igfx-pci | 15:41 |
| midbifroid | 2) gpp-gfx0-igfx-pci0 | 15:42 |
| midbifroid | 2) pci-gfx0-gpp-igfx | 15:42 |
| midbifroid | 3 sorry | 15:42 |
| midbifroid | 4) igfx-gfx0-gpp-pci (the only mode that i can have 2 screens in windows7) | 15:42 |
| midbifroid | really i dont understand this at all, but i think it is selector between internal graphicx / card1 /card 2 / etc... | 15:43 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, does type of cards I am not so good at. | 15:43 |
| Kurdistan | I hope some one else can help | 15:43 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, you can read the link I posted, maybe it will help. | 15:44 |
| midbifroid | :S i am going to restart 3 times trying other graphics mode, and i tell you , ned i to do something before? like remove xorg.conf etc.. | 15:44 |
| midbifroid | the idea is set linux able to autodetect screens | 15:45 |
| midbifroid | i think with xorg.conf it is no autodetect, so i really dont understand xD | 15:45 |
| midbifroid | ok reading the link | 15:47 |
| Kurdistan | midbifroid, you can backup xorg.conf | 15:47 |
| Kurdistan | if you are making some change in bios | 15:47 |
| Kurdistan | kdesudo dolphin and go to xorg.conf and rename it to xorg.conf.old. then you can bring it up if you need it later by undo. | 15:48 |
| midbifroid | screen flashing when using only the 2º vga | 15:56 |
| midbifroid | U_U i suspect since i bought it, i thought "dont buy same graphic" | 15:58 |
| midbifroid | ei dont flashing, working but only the 2º sceen | 15:59 |
| midbifroid | now the first graphic dont work, now backwards xD | 15:59 |
| midbifroid | now detecting 3 cards | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | midbifroid, what path is your xorg.conf ... /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 16:02 |
| midbifroid | yes BluesKaj but now it is disabled, i renamed xorg.conf._back | 16:09 |
| midbifroid | now i have HDMI-0 (disabled) DVI-0 (disabled) and VGA-0 current | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | ok midbifroid . i was wondering if xorg was still in the same path ...I don't have an xorg.conf | 16:11 |
| midbifroid | every second i understand less | 16:11 |
| midbifroid | :D | 16:11 |
| midbifroid | well im going to try next opcion, 2 options left | 16:12 |
| midbifroid | loooool | 16:15 |
| midbifroid | in this option i have zero monitors | 16:15 |
| midbifroid | xDD | 16:15 |
| midbifroid | well there is no more options | 16:17 |
| midbifroid | i m going to suicide :) thanks Kurdistan | 16:17 |

| pangolin | I just ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and 3 packages: libssl1.0.0 libssl1.0.0:i386 openssl were upgraded. What I want to know is why both i386 and x64 packages got installed for libssl? | 16:54 |
| tsimpson | pangolin: maybe you have some (32-bit) application which requires the 32-bit version of the package | 16:55 |
| pangolin | tsimpson: I just did install a few days ago with the 64bit iso.. I don't believe I installed anything 32bit | 16:56 |
| pangolin | a clean install* | 16:56 |
| pangolin | tsimpson: not that important, just noticed it because it was so few packages and it peaked my interest :) | 16:57 |
| pangolin | tsimpson: is there a command I can run to find out what 32bit packages I may have installed? | 16:58 |
| tsimpson | I used to use aptitude to see why something is installed, ie "aptitude why <package>", only just noticed I haven't installed it yet | 16:59 |
| tsimpson | pangolin: oh, apt apparently does it too, try "apt-cache rdepends libssl1.0.0:i386" | 17:01 |
| pangolin | ah, flashplugin-installer is the culprit | 17:02 |
| pangolin | thanks for the info tsimpson :) | 17:03 |
| tsimpson | no problem, nice to know apt-cache has rdepends too, now I don't need to install aptitude :) | 17:04 |
| reisi | hi everyone, running 11.10: an app is nicely filling up $HOME/.xsession-errors: it's now 20GB; does anyone have any tips on which might be causing it, or how can i find out? i'm trying to do uniq -c .xsession-errors |sort -n to find out something about it, but at a glance, didn't seem that descriptive | 17:08 |
| reisi | i'm up to date with mostly default repositories | 17:10 |
| reisi | apparently uniq -c |sort -n does not scale too well :D | 17:12 |
| reisi | /does not scale too well/is not web scale/ | 17:13 |
| reisi | could i somehow truncate the file even when lsof reports there are a lot of process that have the file open? | 17:21 |
| tsimpson | reisi: you could do that, sure | 17:22 |
| reisi | tsimpson: if i just unlink it will consume hard disk space (which i don't currently have) | 17:23 |
| tsimpson | reisi: if you unlink it, then the space will become available again, same with truncation | 17:24 |
| reisi | tsimpson: hmm, it seemed to continue consuming 20GB until i logged out (killed the processes) | 17:25 |
| reisi | truncate did however immediatedly release free space | 17:25 |
| reisi | knotify4: gstreamer criticals and warnings, there's nothing else | 17:26 |
| reisi | written out at 20MBps | 17:26 |
| reisi | it must be damn kmail trying to complain that it has again lost the imap connection; does knotify4 handle those notifications? | 17:27 |
| reisi | i tried to stop akonadi, now knotify4 still uses one core and writes out at 20MBps | 17:28 |
| tsimpson | kontify4 is the general KDE notification system (I think), so any kind of notification would probably go via knotify | 17:29 |
| Tm_T | reisi: knotify gstreamer, how akonadi has to do with those two? (: | 17:29 |
| reisi | Tm_T: i noticed that akonadi runs the mail checking processes (or at least, those were prefixed by "akonadi"); mail checking is the only one giving me notifications | 17:29 |
| reisi | though, currently there are no notifications either | 17:30 |
| Tm_T | reisi: I wonder if killing knotify makes any difference | 17:30 |
| reisi | i'm only running konsole.. | 17:30 |
| reisi | Tm_T: well i can sustain this level of use; if anyone would have an idea on how to proceed i could get a bugreport filed | 17:31 |
| reisi | in ps uxf report no other process than konsole and knotify4 have any significant runtime either | 17:32 |
| Tm_T | reisi: I believe knotify will get respawned if it's killed | 17:33 |
| reisi | just killed SIGTERM'd it, not at least yet | 17:34 |
| reisi | starting ktorrent spawns the knotify4 | 17:36 |
| reisi | no immediate problems | 17:37 |
| reisi | Tm_T: do you know what knotify4 does? is the notifications or filesystem events? | 17:37 |
| Tm_T | reisi: notifications, including sounds, popups, running commands on events if you like, or do simple logging | 17:38 |
| Tm_T | it's quite configurable | 17:38 |
| reisi | well.. i'll need to try to figure out how i made this runaway situation happen again; this was not the first time | 17:43 |
| Tm_T | reisi: suspend? | 17:44 |
| reisi | Tm_T: no | 17:44 |
| Tm_T | hmmm | 17:44 |

| ses1984 | hi, just installed kubuntu and ran a script a used to run all the time before, that rsynced some stuff to a flash drive | 18:32 |
| ses1984 | it seems liek kubuntu is deferring the writes to the flash drive because when I rsync to it, the command completes instantly and I get no activity lights on the flash drive, but when i try to unmount it it takes forever | 18:32 |
| ses1984 | i dont know why it's doing this but i don't like it...i like to see rsync --progress --human-readable to see how long it's going to take | 18:32 |
| BluesKaj | ses1984, dunno anything about rsync , but if the flash drive is empty why not just copy the files over | 18:37 |
| ses1984 | it's not empty, and even if it was rsync can be way faster if the data is compressible | 18:38 |
| ses1984 | this also happens if i use the gui to drag files to the drive. it seems like the transfer takes place instantly, but nothing actually happened until you try to unmount the drive. | 18:39 |
| ses1984 | if you wait long enough, sometimes 5 seconds or sometimes a minute, it seems like the activity lights blink and it starts to actually do the file op | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | ses1984, does rsync need a client side app ? | 18:44 |
| ses1984 | if you don't know what rsync is i suggest you google it. it's amazing | 18:47 |
| ses1984 | it's indispensible | 18:48 |
| designbybeck_ | reading up on rsync now, seems pretty cool ses1984 | 18:55 |
| Toctiz | is kubuntu better than ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| BluesKaj | !better | Toctiz | 19:01 |
| ubottu | Toctiz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | !kubuntu | 19:02 |
| ubottu | kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 19:02 |
| Toctiz | so er dies kubuntu have more of a "desktop" than ubuntu | 19:02 |
| Toctiz | does* | 19:02 |
| designbybeck_ | Toctiz: I've used Ubuntu for 3 years and checked in on Kubuntu every now and then, but am using Kubuntu now on my netbook and loving it so far | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | Toctiz, try kubuntu and find out , you can burn a live-cd | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | !livecd | 19:04 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 19:04 |
| designbybeck_ | it is running very smooth for me on this lil' netbook | 19:04 |
| Toctiz | good enougth for me | 19:04 |
| designbybeck_ | i find it more overall polished and feature rich | 19:04 |
| Toctiz | yes i like a desktop | 19:05 |
| Toctiz | does it have wubi | 19:05 |
| designbybeck_ | i would not recommend wubi | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | wubi only runs on windows | 19:05 |

| Toctiz | yes i have windows can it be installed along side? | 19:06 |

| kde185 | anyone know how to temporarily turn off X? | 19:45 |
| kde185 | init 3 isn't working anymore... | 19:45 |
| BluesKaj | kde185, ctl+alt+f1 , sudo service kdm stop , then when you need the desktop , startx | 19:47 |
| designbybeck | I want to learn more about keystrokes in Kubuntu to make me more productive and efficient | 19:47 |
| kde185 | BluesKaj: thanks | 19:47 |
| designbybeck | like on Ubuntu Unity, you can just press the superkey and start typing a program name and it searchs for it | 19:47 |
| designbybeck | nothing like that on Kubuntu? | 19:47 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: alt + f2 | 19:48 |
| designbybeck | hmm that isn't working for me kde185 | 19:48 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: if it doesn't work there's a pretty easy fix | 19:48 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, or kmenu search | 19:48 |
| designbybeck | i'm running kubuntu 11.10 on a netbook | 19:48 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: open system setting | 19:48 |
| designbybeck | so the screen changed a lil | 19:48 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: Under Startup and Shutdown | 19:49 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: click on desktop file, then add program | 19:49 |
| designbybeck | hmmm | 19:50 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: type in krunner | 19:50 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: then ok | 19:50 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: unless you want to logout/login then you'll need to run krunner in a terminal this one time | 19:50 |
| designbybeck | i don't want to log in and out with it | 19:51 |
| designbybeck | i just wanted a quick way to call up my programs i'd like to run | 19:51 |
| designbybeck | Like the super key in Unity | 19:51 |
| designbybeck | or alt space in GnomeDo and Synapses | 19:52 |
| designbybeck | or what ever it was | 19:52 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: I think this is like that | 19:53 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: just for some reason krunner doesn't start automatically | 19:53 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: adding krunner to your autostart fixes that | 19:54 |
| designbybeck | i'm not finding krunner | 19:54 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: you don't need to find it, just type in krunner | 19:54 |
| designbybeck | i'm in the netbook view i am thinking | 19:55 |
| designbybeck | so i'm trying to learn this interface | 19:55 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, you can run synapse on kubuntu as well , if you wish | 19:55 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: you went to the the Startup and Shutdown and clicked "Add Program"? | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | kde185, how does krunner link to the shortcut key he wants to implement ? | 19:57 |
| designbybeck | ok i found it | 19:57 |
| kde185 | BluesKaj: not sure what you mean, krunner is a quick tool to run programs and do other stuff | 19:58 |
| designbybeck | yeah i am wanting something like that kde185 | 19:59 |
| BluesKaj | kde185, I think he wants a shrtcut key on the KB to run certqin apps | 19:59 |
| designbybeck | krunner now shows to be in the startup | 20:00 |
| designbybeck | but yes, how do i cue it up with a keystroke like the super key? | 20:00 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: k, now it will work every time you startup or login | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | right click on the desktop brings up the run command , it's the krunner | 20:00 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: you'll hit alt + f. Though you'll need to open konsole and type krunner first | 20:00 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: you'll only need to do the konsole thing this once | 20:01 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: *alt + f2 | 20:01 |
| designbybeck | ok i'm seeing how it works i think | 20:02 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, ok , pls clarify what you mean by the superkey | 20:02 |
| designbybeck | can then I can go back to that Kmenu to change the keystroke? | 20:02 |
| designbybeck | Windows Key | 20:02 |
| designbybeck | between the ctrl and al | 20:02 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: there is...not sure where exactly | 20:03 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: if you open system settings again there's a search field at the top right | 20:03 |
| designbybeck | i'm there | 20:04 |
| designbybeck | i see Custom Standard Global keystrokes | 20:04 |
| designbybeck | but not finding ALT+f2 | 20:04 |
| kde185 | designbybeck: under Global Keyboard Shortcuts, you'll want to select "Run Command Interface" for the Kde component | 20:05 |
| designbybeck | cool! | 20:06 |
| designbybeck | ah i see i guess KDE calls it the meta key | 20:06 |
| designbybeck | it will not let me do just the meta key by itself | 20:07 |
| designbybeck | thank you guys for your help with this | 20:08 |
| kde185 | np | 20:08 |
| designbybeck | on another note, does KDE support any on screen overlaid annotation | 20:09 |
| designbybeck | like Compiz Annotation | 20:09 |
| designbybeck | if I have a tablet to draw on the screen | 20:09 |
| designbybeck | I work in Education and I try to streamline tools | 20:09 |

| designbybeck | after seeing David Revoy take to KDE it made me excited | 20:21 |
| designbybeck | because of all the graphics he does | 20:21 |
| designbybeck | which is what i do | 20:21 |
| designbybeck | In most gnome products spell check is on in most boxes by default, anything like that for KDE? | 20:24 |
| designbybeck | I think I might have found it | 20:26 |
| designbybeck | Yep! That will work! :D | 20:27 |
| sandra | test | 21:06 |
| designbybeck | Ok It's all your fault! | 21:07 |
| designbybeck | I installed Kubuntu on my main box now | 21:07 |
| sandra | G'day my fellow Kubuntu inmates :-) | 21:07 |
| sandra | I trust you are all doing well today :-) | 21:07 |
| designbybeck | because it has Ubuntu on there, and I had all those packages, is it safe to delete some of those other apps from within kubuntu or do i have to go to ubuntu to do that? | 21:08 |
| designbybeck | I am now sandra | 21:08 |

| designbybeck | :( now the System Settings is crashing at random | 21:14 |
| designbybeck | giving SegFault errors | 21:14 |
| sandra | Could someone here please tell me if it is possible under Kubuntu to install a right click on the desktop option "Open in Terminal" as is found in Ubuntu "nautilus-open in terminal" command ? Thanks in advance for your thoughtful replies. | 21:15 |
| designbybeck | sorry sandra, i've only been using KDE for 30mins ;) | 21:16 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: there used to be a package to allow terminal option in context menu but dont recall the package namne. im pretty sure it was for all desktops not just kde | 21:19 |
| sandra | designbybeck: Thanks all the same I hope someone here has a answer :-) | 21:19 |
| designbybeck | this Quassel IRC is so much better than XChat! | 21:19 |
| designbybeck | all of KDE is from what I'm finding out, just not sure I like the random crashs when doing basic system setting changes | 21:20 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: I know that option can be found under gnome but so far I have been striking out finding that option under Kubuntu. | 21:20 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: the thing im recalling is a package you install | 21:20 |
| gnomefreak | im looking for it now | 21:20 |
| gnomefreak | and gnomne doesnt have it by default | 21:21 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: Thank you so much :-) | 21:21 |
| gnomefreak | gnome even | 21:21 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: under Ubuntu the install package is "nautilus-Open in Terminal" | 21:23 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: thanks | 21:23 |
| flintwingel | sandra: i'm running a faily vanilla kubuntu install and a right lick on a folder gives me "Open Terminal Here" under the Actions option | 21:23 |
| gnomefreak | no its not | 21:24 |
| gnomefreak | gnomefreak@Development:~$ show nautilus-open | 21:24 |
| gnomefreak | N: Unable to locate package nautilus-open | 21:24 |
| Pici | nautilus-open-terminal | 21:24 |
| dies_irae | how to restore sound?? | 21:24 |
| dies_irae | I accidentaly removed the interface | 21:25 |
| gnomefreak | thanks Pici | 21:25 |
| dies_irae | teh card is there, restartding alsa does nothing so definately something to do with KDE. | 21:25 |
| gnomefreak | reinstall what you removed | 21:26 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: But Kubuntu of course does not use nautilus. Yes know clicking on folder gives me that option but what I want is the ability to click on a open area of my desktop and have the option "To Open in Terminal" thus pulling up the terminal w/out clicking on a folder :-) | 21:26 |
| dies_irae | gnomefreak: lawl, ur obviously cluless. | 21:26 |
| gnomefreak | i dont know if kde uses pulseaudio or not | 21:26 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: correct but iirc there was a package that allowed you to have the option outside of fiiles/folders | 21:27 |
| gnomefreak | installing nautilus-open-terminal doesnt change anything at all | 21:28 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: KDE does use pulse audio and pulseaudio is present in Kubuntu. | 21:28 |
| dies_irae | what I am talking is about 'Do you want to permanently remove these devices??' | 21:28 |
| gnomefreak | dies_irae: see if you have pulseaudio installed | 21:29 |
| gnomefreak | dies_irae: thats up to you but i suggest no | 21:29 |
| dies_irae | that's the most idiotic message ever. Do you think average clueless user know wtf do in that case?? | 21:29 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: What I need is a equivalent of that gnome nautilus package for KDE to"Open in Terminal" | 21:29 |
| dies_irae | ask the user about hardware devices?? | 21:29 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: i know what you need im still looking | 21:29 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: Thanks :-) | 21:30 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: open up package manager and search too :) | 21:30 |
| sandra | dies_irae: Don't remove those devices | 21:30 |
| dies_irae | I even un-installed pulse and still no sound, so definately KDE did something. | 21:30 |
| sandra | dies_irae: what sound card are you currently using ? | 21:31 |
| gnomefreak | kde doesnt just "do things" | 21:31 |
| dies_irae | sandra: it popped up when the webcam was un-plugged, but it had other devices that I did not pay attention and I accidentaly clicked 'yes' | 21:31 |
| dies_irae | sandra: I got the mobo and a PCI | 21:31 |
| dies_irae | the PCI is not sounding any waves throgh the air. | 21:31 |
| dies_irae | 'Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices? | 21:32 |
| dies_irae | This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed: | 21:32 |
| dies_irae | ' | 21:32 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: im not finding anything here. | 21:32 |
| dies_irae | that's the ass retarded message ^^^ | 21:32 |
| sandra | dies_irae: Go System Settings then select multimedia and check your preferences there. | 21:32 |
| dies_irae | isn't kubuntu supposed to be luser friendly? | 21:32 |
| dies_irae | sandra: I've done that a trillion times already. | 21:33 |
| gnomefreak | dies_irae: depends on the user | 21:33 |
| sandra | dies_irae: yes it's friendly enough but like any friendship there is a getting to know you period :-) | 21:33 |
| dies_irae | aplay -L or -l DOES report my card. | 21:33 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: I appreciate all your help. Thank you :-) | 21:34 |
| dies_irae | ok re-installing pulse and see if the issue gets fixed automagically. | 21:34 |
| gnomefreak | sandra: np sorry | 21:34 |
| sandra | gnomefreak: nothing to be sorry about :-) | 21:35 |
| designbybeck | I am trying to find the setting where I can resize a window with ALT + MMB instead of RMB | 21:35 |
| designbybeck | any idea where that is? | 21:36 |
| dies_irae | lawl, my download speed 6 B/s | 21:36 |
| sandra | dies_irae: I know your not going to like this but my suggestion for now is reinstall Kubuntu and once you perform your updates update your kernel to 3.2.0-15 and see if that solves your sound issues I know it solved my wireless issues for me perhaps it also includes a sound driver for your on board sound chip. | 21:37 |
| dies_irae | couldn't be more correct BS download speeds!! | 21:37 |
| dies_irae | sandra: this is LiveCD | 21:37 |
| sandra | dies_irae: running Kubuntu from a live CD or even from a USB key has it's limitations, especially when it comes to upgrading system hardware. | 21:39 |
| sandra | dies_irae: Or trouble shooting. | 21:39 |
| sandra | dies_irae: I wish you the best in regards to sound issues. | 21:41 |

| designbybeck | these things worry about usein Kubuntu, does everyone have these kinds of problems with random crashing? | 22:05 |
| BluesKaj | odd , quassel is pretty stable | 22:06 |
| designbybeck | i'm not sure if i wasn't connected and i'd click on #kubuntu | 22:06 |
| designbybeck | and that is what it crashed | 22:06 |
| BluesKaj | gotta reboot | 22:07 |
| designbybeck | we have our TexOS project starting next weekend. I used LinuxMint 11 last time for the first one we did | 22:07 |
| designbybeck | but I'm considering going with Kubuntu now | 22:07 |
| designbybeck | I'm just worried this might turn people off with all the random crashes | 22:07 |
| designbybeck | Could it be because I have Ubuntu on here as well? | 22:08 |
| designbybeck | how do I see what version of KDE this is? | 22:10 |

| lethu | designbybeck, still in release candidate stage | 22:12 |
| lethu | last time I checked | 22:12 |
| designbybeck | ah gotcha | 22:12 |
| lethu | anyway, even if it goes gold | 22:13 |
| lethu | there will be a delay before Kubuntu gets it | 22:13 |
| designbybeck | hmm I am trying to install some software in the Muon Software Center | 22:13 |
| designbybeck | i click install and it says "This operation cannot coninue since proper authorization was not provided" | 22:14 |
| designbybeck | but It never asked for a password? | 22:14 |
| lethu | probably a bug | 22:14 |
| designbybeck | :( | 22:14 |
| designbybeck | this isn't good for me | 22:14 |
| lethu | try launching it from console with "sudo" | 22:14 |
| designbybeck | I was going to install Kubuntu on 11 computer to give to kids | 22:15 |
| designbybeck | lethu: how do I figure out if it is a bug or not? | 22:17 |
| lethu | designbybeck, launch it from console and watch for error message in the console | 22:18 |
| designbybeck | how do i find the command for the software center? | 22:18 |
| lethu | designbybeck, try $ sudo muon | 22:19 |
| lethu | then type the pass | 22:19 |
| designbybeck | that opened the package manager | 22:19 |
| lethu | when asked | 22:19 |
| designbybeck | sudo muon | 22:19 |

| designbybeck | Interesting | 22:21 |
| lethu | genii-around, try $ sudo gdebi-kde | 22:21 |
| BluesKaj | don't use sudo for a gui app , use kdesudo | 22:21 |
| lethu | designbybeck, I mean | 22:21 |
| lethu | yeah, sorry I wasn't aware of this detail | 22:22 |
| designbybeck | so that should be kdesudo | 22:22 |
| lethu | I have always used sudo, and it worked for me | 22:22 |

| designbybeck | but just today I decided to try Kubuntu and installed kubuntu-desktop from the software center in ubuntu | 22:25 |
| lethu | wrong way | 22:25 |
| lethu | not surprising you get unexpected behaviour | 22:26 |
| lethu | if you want Kubuntu, install it via the dvd, on a fresh formated hd | 22:26 |
| lethu | even updates from Kubuntu to a newer version are known to give unexpected results | 22:27 |
| designbybeck | hhmmmm | 22:27 |
| designbybeck | dang | 22:27 |
| designbybeck | I have Ubuntu and Linux Mint on two differnet partitions | 22:27 |
| designbybeck | i don't need the LinuxMint one anymore so I guess I could put a full, clean install on there | 22:28 |
| lethu | yes, barely one of the possibilities | 22:28 |
| lethu | s/barely/merely | 22:28 |
| designbybeck | ok thanks for the help lethu i've gotta run for now. I'll be building my core LinuxMCE box this weekend, maybe I'll try Kubuntu clean install on that first | 22:30 |
