calamarihi. I'd like to add a desktop switcher to the panel in 11.10. I think this is called the "pager"? So I chose Add Widgets, then click and hold the Pager. The cursor turns into a hand, and I drag it down, some places it has a red "no" circle, so I found a spot near the application launcher where the red circle went away, then released my mouse button. I was expecting to see the pager, but instead there is nothing. I tried the same proced01:23
calamariure on the "CPU Monitor", and that worked for that widget. Is my procedure correct? If so, what is wrong?01:23

calamarithe mouse cursor keeps reverting to the oxygen theme. can I delete the oxygen cursor somehow to force it to stop being retarded?02:25
calamaribtw am I in the right channel to ask questions? I have asked a bunch and have been completely ignored02:26
Snowhogcalamari: Adding the Pager widget is simple. With it identified, just double-click it and it will be put on to the Panel.02:51
calamariSnowhog: thanks. when I do that, I see my clock move to the left slightly each time I double click02:57
calamariSnowhog: is there a user editable file that shows the contents of the panel? I suspect I have a ton of pagers added02:59

SnowhogBsims: System Settings > Application Appearance > Icons and select the one you dont want and click on Remove Theme and then on Apply04:48
BsimsI installed a older version of oxygen... and it overwrote the existing oxygen in system settings and for some unholy reason oxygen iconset is a core kde dependency I tried to reinstall it with no joy04:49

galvaoI've just used KDE Partition manager to delete an External HD partition so I could recreate it in ext4, but right after I've done that the sound in my Kubuntu 11.10 is gone. Is that a known issue or did I screw something up in here?06:13

galvaoI've deleted a partition in my external HD and created a new one with full size, primary, ext4 so I can back up my files. Right after I've done that my sound disappeared06:31
galvaoI've deleted from /dev/sdb, which is my external HD (my main HD is sda), so I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong, but then again why do I have no sound? It's scary...06:33
galvaoif I run KDE Partition Manager again the sound comes back specifically for the application notifications, but as soon as I close it the sound goes away again...06:34

saillehi, i have a kubuntu 11.10 system and a brother mfc-240c printer with scanner, the printer works fine but the scanner doesnt work, and i installed it like it is descriped here: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html10:15
robin0800saille: did you do all the prerequisites as well?10:18
saillerobin0800: yes10:20
saillebut it could be that i installed sane-utils after i installed the scanner driver, could that be a problem? but i removed the scanner driver and installed it new...10:21
robin0800saille: think you have to edit sothing in linux to make sure the scanner is detected10:23
saillei think so too, but sane-find-scanner found the scanner, but scanimage -L said, that there is no scanner, and im also in the group "scanner"10:24
robin0800saille: the instructions are on the brother site I've got a 250 and was able to get it to work but it was fiddly10:26
saillewhat means ii and rc in the output of dpkg -l | grep Brother?10:29
robin0800saille: essentially you have to manually add your scanner into the list of scanners sane knows about these instructions are on the web site10:31
saillehow do i do that?10:31
robin0800saille: sorry no internet here can,t gey10:32
robin0800saille: sorry no internet here can,t get page for you10:32
sailleno internet but irc? oO10:33
saillebut i know that the scanner works with linux, cuz on the old pc it was no problem10:35
saillebut the laptop doesnt want to work with the scanner or there are big difference between 32bit and 64 bit10:35
saillerobin0800: MFC-240C USB 0x04f9/0x01ab Good Reportedly working.10:37

emdoes the build-essential package come with the gnu compiler?21:35
yofelbuild-essential depends on gcc and g++21:36
emyeah so it will install those too21:36
emright?21:36
emYes looks like it to me21:36
yofelright. It'll install: gcc g++ libc6-dev make dpkg-dev21:36
embuild essential seems pretty important. how come that stuff isn't just already on there?21:37
yofelyou don't usually need a compiler on a system.21:38
emI think you need it to comiple from source21:39
yofelsure, but not everyone does that21:39
ikoniaa compiler can be a security risk, so it shouldn't be there unless you need it21:39
ikoniaalso installing headers and development libraries on the system is a waste, unless you need it, in which case install them21:40
ikoniathe majority of people should not need it21:40
emyofel: do you ever compile from source?21:41
yofelem: I very much do so, but I'm a developer, so that's obvious21:44
emyofel: I did not know you asre a developer, that's very good.21:45
emare*21:45
eohola21:46
emikonia: do you ever compile from source?21:46
emeo: Hola, como estas?21:46
ikoniaall the time, based on my work within project, it's required21:46
emeo: quieres ayuda con kubuntu?21:46
eoem: meanss like how am I doin? :D21:46
emeo: si por supuesto. :) Yes of course. :)21:47
eowell that's bueno21:47
eofine. trying to win  my hangeover21:48
eoem: how's  you?21:48
emI'm pretty well. Im going to try installing proprietary drivers from scratch21:49
ikoniaproprietary drivers from scratch ? what do you mean ?21:49
ikoniasounds interesting21:49
emem: I just mean Im not going to get the proprietary drivers from the Ubuntu repos. I didn't mean that I have the source code for them.21:50
eoi haven't been using activly ubuntus , but getting to know : )21:50
yofelem: are you sure you know how to do that? (why are you doing that?)21:51
TommyNottHello everybody - is there anybody here who might be able to help me configure Gwibber in Kubuntu? Or is there a separate #gwibber channel for that?21:52
ikoniaem: just keep in mind that the versions ubuntu / distros pick to package are compatible, other / later versions may not21:52
emyofel: No I am not sure I know how. And I'm doing it so that I can have the more recent one.21:52
ikoniaem: any special reason you want the more recent versions (bug fix etc)21:53
emI want to install the amd sdk stuff and the pyopencl stuff so I can mine for bitcoins.21:53
ikoniaah, and you need a later version for that21:53
ikoniaem: be very careful as the later versions do not always work with the base component versions you are running21:54
emOn this point I am a little critical of Ubuntu because I cannot just install pyopencl from the Ubuntu repo since (FOR WHAT REASON??) they make the nvidia drivers a dependency of the pyopencl stuff.21:54
ikoniaem: what archive is pyopencl in ? main/universe/multiverse21:55
em!info pyopencl21:55
ubottuPackage pyopencl does not exist in oneiric21:55
yofel!info python-pyopencl21:56
ubottupython-pyopencl (source: pyopencl): module to access OpenCL parallel computation API. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.92-1ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 512 kB, installed size 2304 kB (Only available for amd64 i386)21:56
ikoniamultiverse, may just be a packaging error then,21:57
ikoniaor there may need to be two packages, python-pyopencl-nvidia python-pyopencl-amd21:57
emikonia: it shure would be nic if there were a python-pyopencl-amd21:58
embecause installing pyopencl from scratch is not trivial.21:59
ikoniain truth I don't know anything about python-pyopencl so I don't know if there is a genuine reason why there is not, that said, it could just be a simple error when packaging that it depends on nvidia (worth logging a bug ?) or the split between nvidia/amd needs to be put into two packages21:59
emikonia: which proprietary ati catalyst version does 11.04 ofer?22:02
ikoniaI have no idea without looking to be honest, I don't have an ubuntu machine here22:02
em!info flgrx22:02
ubottuPackage flgrx does not exist in oneiric22:02
em!info fglrx22:02

emit's hard to say from that what the catalyst version was.22:04
ikoniaI don't know the numbering scheme for the amd/ati stuff22:05
emyeah that's okay.22:05
emikonia: do you ever use shs -C?22:05
emssh *22:05
ikoniaI have done, when there is a need22:05
ikonianot very often22:06
emikonia: im wondering if ssh -C might help since im using tsocks to use aptitude install22:08
emdoes the -C stuff happen on the remote machine prior to being sent to the local one?22:09
=== gorius is now known as Dixeo
ikoniathere must be some work done on the remote machine22:09
ikoniaI'd assume just a little heavier load on sshd22:10
Rokixzgood evening, I have a question, in Kontact I set up to show unread messages, but it's not working, it shows "No unread messsages..." even I got like  10 messages from 2 mail accounts, I put options also, just don't know how to fix it, thanks for help (Kubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.8).22:20
littlegirlRokixz: I'm not familiar with Kontact, but my email program treats new and unread messages differently. If a message is new it isn't considered unread even if I haven't read it yet unless I've closed and reopened the program or checked the mail and gotten more new messages. It might be the same in Kontact. (:22:28

designbybeckGreetings all, I just backed up my personal data in Home, I had installed Kubuntu-Desktop on top of my Ubuntu 11.10 65bit install22:57
designbybeckSomeone in this channel said that wasn't a good idea and that is why i was having random crashes.22:57
designbybeckSo before I wiped my whole harddrive and installed a fresh Kubuntu install, this is recommend?22:58
designbybeckDoes anyone else have random crashes with IRC Chat, and System Settings?23:01
=== nin is now known as nin__
=== nin__ is now known as rrr
=== frogonwheels_ is now known as frogonwheels
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: It's a pretty good approach.  Make sure you don't have any data or system config that you need (maybe back-up /etc/ too?)23:04
designbybeckHHMmmm what might be under there that I would need frogonwheels23:04
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: Well it depends.. um.. website configs,  special network overrides..  hostname / hosts files / other stuff you've tinkered with?23:05
designbybecki didn't have any website stuff setup on this install23:05
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: cool.  YOu could always tar it up just in case.23:06
designbybeckok, i guess safe than sorry23:07
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: but as to whether it's a good idea- I mostly use the system upgrade for upgrades, but every now and again it's worth starting afresh.23:07
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: I have /home on sep mount for that reason.23:07
designbybeckhmm well someone else i was talking to in here was telling me that wasn't a good thing to do with upgrade23:07
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: you mean start afresh and copy your /home in?23:07
designbybecki kept having problems with random crashing23:07
designbybeckand I'm about to do a workshop next weekend where we give dontated computers to kids23:08
designbybecklast time we use LinuxMint1123:08
designbybeckbut I was going to try Ubuntu 11.10 32bit..... But just started playing more with Kubuntu 11.1023:09
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: Look it's certainly worth doing a fresh install if you are having issues - I would certainly consider that myself as an option (and have done so on a few occassions)23:09
designbybeckBut i starated having crashes with Kubuntu, and things not installing correctly or at all23:09
designbybecki take it your main setup is kubuntu frogonwheels ?23:10
frogonwheelsstrange, but it _does_ happen that you can get something wrong in the upgrade path that causes instability - hence why some people always do fresh installs.23:10
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: yep23:10
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: I have kubuntu,  mythbuntu and openwrt on various computers :)23:11
designbybeckdo you have problems with kde23:11
designbybeckcrashes and such?23:11
designbybeckor does it all run smooth?23:11
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: ocassionally, but generally not.23:11
=== szal_ is now known as szal
designbybeckfrogonwheels, but not to the problem that you loose data23:11
designbybeckor the point23:11
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: nope.23:11
designbybeckI've been using Ubuntu Unity on my laptop for a while23:12
designbybeckand it has always seemeed clunky23:12
designbybeckmaybe it has a lot ot do with the ati card23:12
designbybeckbut Kubuntu as seemed much more snappy and intitive23:12
designbybeckso it has temped me to try a new clean install kubuntu and try that out for a few months23:13
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: Ati has taken a while to get going, and I certainly had some real bumps along the way with dualscreen ATI drivers.. but it seems a lot more settled...23:13
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: I switched from gnome to kde many years back23:14
designbybecki've always liked kde as a whole23:14
designbybeckand I am liking Gnome323:14
designbybeckbut still on my laptop setup gnome3 on here seems buggy too23:14
Vuthhi23:14
designbybeckhello Vuth23:14
Vuthhow is kubunut doing?23:15
designbybeckwell I'm about to do a clean install23:15
Vuthim trying to do a dual boot23:15
Vuthwindows 7 + any linux23:15
designbybeckI had Ubuntu 11.10 64bit Vuth, I wanted to try Kubuntu so I downloaded Kubuntu-Desktop from the software center23:15
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: gl btw :) I've gotta get me some breakfast.23:15
Vuthbut is it reversible? if i want to go back to single boot23:15
designbybeckbut I have issuses with things not installing or asking for my password and such23:16
designbybeckthanks for the help frogonwheels23:16
Vuthdesign and you ran it ONT TOP of windows 7?23:16
designbybeckno no23:17
designbybeckthat isn't recommeded at all23:17
designbybeckyou should dual boot if you are going to keep windows23:17
designbybeckyeah it is easy enough to take back that partition23:17
Vuthokok23:17
designbybecki meant vs using wubi23:18
Vuthinstalls the software on an existing Windows partition, thus without need for partitioning.23:18
designbybeckright, and that is what is not recommended23:19
Vuth:(23:19
designbybeckit's best to let Kubuntu partition the hadrrdive23:19
designbybeckonly becuase it underminds the power of linux23:19
designbybeckto be on top of windows23:19
Vuthi like the customizable of linux OS but i also play online games..and windows on linux not very good23:20
Vuthi have 1 TB how much u rec. for me to partition?23:20
designbybeckoh if that is your data drive, you could go with 100GB to Linux and be fine23:21
Vuthsounds good23:22
designbybeckI forgot to ask frogonwheels what arch he runs? 32bit or 64bit23:24
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: 6423:24
designbybeckhow much ram do you have Vuth23:24
designbybeckah... thanks23:24
designbybeckthat is what i was running23:24
designbybeckand making the new LiveBoot USB now23:24
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck: I think the last time I reinstalled I  went from 32bit to 64bit keeping pretty much the same home directory23:24
frogonwheelsdesignbybeck:  :) try do that on win7 ;p23:25
designbybeckhahaha23:25
designbybeckhaven't personallky ran windows in 4 years23:25
Vuthon my PC..i have 8gb23:27
designbybeckah yeah so you'll want 64bit23:27
Vuthright23:27
Vuthdid u finish clean install of kubunutu yet?23:28
designbybeckfinishing the USB now23:28
Vuthhave u tried any other linux? i have only tried mint and ubunutu23:28
designbybeckmaking the live boot now23:28
designbybeckyeah those are the only two i've ran more than a few week23:28
designbybeckFedora i have livebooted and used here and there, but not for long periods23:29
designbybeckI did try KXStudio and Dream Studio, but those are based on ubuntu kbunut23:29
designbybeckbut not managed anymore i don't think23:29
designbybeckOk jumpdrive done, I guess I'm going offline for a while23:31
designbybeckHopefully I'll catch on the flip side!23:31
Vuthbye23:32
