[00:01] <Ahoalton> how come certain devices work with gnome, but not KDE?
[00:01] <jmichaelx> Ahoalton: what kind of devices?
[00:03] <Ahoalton> like my blutooth
[00:05] <Ahoalton> and do you know of any power saving utilities jmichaelx for my lappy
[00:05] <yvj> #UBUNTU
[00:06] <Ahoalton> with windows 5.5 hrs of battery with ubuntu i'm luck to get 2.5
[00:06] <Ahoalton> my fan always runs
[00:06] <jmichaelx> Ahoalton: i would think that bluetooth should be DE agnostic. what specific problem are you having?
[00:07] <jmichaelx> Ahoalton: which version of kubuntu are you running?
[02:10] <BenPA> wow is it ever quiet in here
[02:22] <naught101> I booted kubutu today (oneiric), and I suddenly can't open anything. eg. if I try to run rekonq, or firefox, I get a bouncy icon on my cursor, until it times out, but the program doesn't ever start. If I run them from the console, it hangs (apparently indefinitely)
[02:22] <naught101> Where should I start looking?
[02:23] <naught101> I can't even start vim from the console..
[02:23] <naught101> hrm.. ok, I can, but it hangs. when I ctrl+c, it spits out errors Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vimrc:
[02:24] <naught101> and the like
[02:24] <naught101> I can then enter it without my config
[02:31] <tele15> use live cd - rescue, look if disk full
[02:32] <naught101> tele15: disk isn't full
[02:32] <tele15> maybe mounted read only?
[02:32] <naught101> tele15: kde starts, and some programs start with it (ones called by the saved session)
[02:33] <naught101> tele15: mtab: /dev/sda1 / ext4 rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0 0 0
[02:33] <tele15> maybe create a ne user via shell, test if it works all with new fresh profile
[02:34] <naught101> hrm
[02:34] <tele15> as a first step
[02:34] <naught101> I don't think it's something to do with linux in general, I think it's something to do with kde. I will try moving my .kde
[02:35] <naught101> back soon, if it does work :)
[02:35] <naught101> exit
[04:30] <Draggor> For the walk through desktops popup window, how do I make it list the icons of each running thing on each desktop?

[10:33] <peace> excognac: http://localhost:631/printers
[10:46] <excognac> peace: thanks I tried to install the driver from sh script, now trying to print with lp from the command line, no success at all
[10:47] <floown> hello
[10:48] <floown> In a Kubuntu Oneric I have installed VLC plugins to see some Silverlight video instead to use Moonlight (to old for a site). But the plugins always crash on this page http://documentaires.france5.fr/documentaires/empreintes/hubert-reeves-la-belle-histoire what can I do please?
[11:19] <excognac> i will go crazy, please help: how do I change the permissions for a shell script on a cd?
[11:20] <excognac> just chmod?
[11:22] <mydogsnameisrudy> you want to change it on the cd?
[11:23] <excognac> yes
[11:24] <mydogsnameisrudy> dont think you can just change it on the cd you might have to copy to hd then change it then reburn a cd
[11:24] <excognac> cos for chmod u+rwx it obviously says read only filesystem
[11:24] <excognac> wait, this is an install cd for a printer
[11:25] <mydogsnameisrudy> your installing a printer?
[11:25] <excognac> yep
[11:26] <excognac> but it says It seems Qt library is not installed, or X display is not accessible.
[11:26] <excognac> ****  Custom Qt library will be configured for use with this package.
[11:26] <excognac> GUI mode installer execution failed, proceeding in text mode
[11:26] <mydogsnameisrudy> hmmm ok im not sure what to do with that sorry
[11:27] <mydogsnameisrudy> ive never used install cd for printers
[11:27] <mydogsnameisrudy> never had trouble installing the drivers hmmm
[11:28] <excognac> ok, let me know how do you it then please, cos I also tried to set it up with CUPS, no success
[11:28] <excognac> *do you do it
[11:28] <mydogsnameisrudy> what is the  printer
[11:30] <excognac> dell 1130
[11:31] <mydogsnameisrudy> did you try the print manager then?
[11:31] <excognac> yes, test page printed, then can't print anything else
[11:32] <mydogsnameisrudy> so it finds the printer in the setup
[11:32] <excognac> now everything is removed
[11:32] <excognac> sure it does
[11:32] <mydogsnameisrudy> do you set it to default printer?
[11:33] <excognac> yep
[11:33] <mydogsnameisrudy> sounds like the printer is there your just not printing to it
[11:34] <mydogsnameisrudy> what are you printing from
[11:34] <excognac> pdf okular
[11:36] <mydogsnameisrudy> hmm can you see the dell 1130 in okular when you go to print?
[11:37] <excognac> yes
[11:37] <excognac> just nothing happens
[11:38] <mydogsnameisrudy> hmm i see a few printing problems in okular on google
[11:38] <mydogsnameisrudy> looking at them
[11:39] <mydogsnameisrudy> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7941120
[11:41] <excognac> fortunately in the meanwhile chrome crashed and kde desktop too
[11:41] <mydogsnameisrudy> oh lol nice
[11:42] <mydogsnameisrudy> im thinking its an okular problem try to print from something else and see if that works
[11:42] <excognac> thanks very much anyway
[11:43] <mydogsnameisrudy> ok gl
[11:46] <excognac> haha now, when i give the path for the ppd file from the cd gives this message
[11:46] <excognac> 1130_Laser_Printer' requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsungspl' program but it is not currently installed. Please install it before using this printe
[12:55] <excognac> is becoming mental! How should i install a printer? I couldn't do it from the given cd shell scrip, neither from printer settings, I must have done something wrong, any ideas?
[13:03] <goodtime> excognac: you might be able with the fstab in you terminal as root
[13:04] <goodtime> then you will be able to see if your divice anyhow if linux somehow saw it
[13:04] <goodtime> device*
[13:06] <excognac> goodtime: thanks very much
[13:06] <excognac> I have no problem seeing the device
[13:07] <goodtime> you can turn it on and off in there i think
[13:08] <excognac> well the problem is that if i run the install.sh, it simply doesn't work. If use cups or printer settings and set everything manually, still doesn't work
[13:09] <excognac> although the script installs itself
[13:09] <goodtime> oic
[13:09] <excognac> I beg you a pardon?
[13:10] <goodtime> oh i see =oic
[13:10] <excognac> sorry
[13:11] <goodtime> no problem :)
[13:11] <maxjezy> oic=only in candada
[13:11] <maxjezy> canada
[13:11] <goodtime> hahahaha
[13:11] <excognac> orkney islands council

[13:22] <excognac> *printer

[13:23] <excognac> Please help, I can't believe that I couldn't resolve this in 3.5 hours
[13:43] <excognac> i think I'm gonna chop this laptop into tiny pieces. However, thank you for all your help
[13:44] <Tm_T> excognac: I install printers by plugging the usb; done
[13:45] <Tm_T> excognac: printconf - automatically configures USB and parallel printers with CUPS
[13:45] <Tm_T> I wonder if that package would help any
[13:45] <excognac> Tm_T: Previously it worked for me as well
[13:45] <excognac> now I'm gonna purge cups then reinstall
[13:55] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[14:52] <Uncle_Fester> i would like to install rtorrent with a gui, how do i go about doing that?
[14:52] <Uncle_Fester> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
[14:53] <bazhang> Uncle_Fester, rtorrent has no gui
[14:53] <Uncle_Fester>  I used it on a seedbox.  Is that different?
[14:56] <BluesKaj> Uncle_Fester,  you can logout of the desktop and rtorrent will keep running if you use the 'screen"/"dtach' utility , but there's no gui for it
[14:57] <Uncle_Fester> i'm still kinda new to linux and i am still learning.
[14:59] <Uncle_Fester> Maybe it was a web ui?  But I do remember using it.  Or is there one similar to it that i am mixing it up with? Anyway i really liked the layout, even better than utorrent.
[14:59] <BluesKaj> personally I use qbittorrent , but ktorrent is the default client and it works well ...very similar to utorrent on windows
[14:59] <Uncle_Fester> qbittorrent seems top stall on me?
[15:02] <BluesKaj> any torrent cleint should be setup on the router to port forward including qbittorrent , choosing ports above 50K is best for tcp and udp
[15:02] <Uncle_Fester> i'm trying to hash check some files and i cant seem to find a linux bt client taht will do it with out downloading
[15:04] <BluesKaj> Uncle_Fester,  dunno if running a checksum on torrentsites is possible
[15:05] <Uncle_Fester> i used to double check my files in windows. to make sure it got all of them
[15:05] <Uncle_Fester> with utorrent

[20:22] <artao> hai
[20:24] <artao> i'm currently running Ubuntu Studio 11.10, which uses XFCE .. I'd like to try out the KDE environment for awhile as well. I'm looking to do as minimal an install as I can here, JUST the DE ... I'm looking in Synaptic right now and am wondering exactly WHICH entry would be my best choice?   I see an entry "kde-plasma-destop" which has a description: "KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal set of applications."
[20:24] <artao> is that enough?
[20:25] <artao> or would i have to go with 'kde-full' desc.: "complete KDE Software Compilation for end users" ??
[20:25] <artao> i'm inclined towards the former, but would like confirmation plz
[20:27] <artao> ya know? nm ... i found a page about it on ubuntu.com ... looks like i just want what i thought i did

[21:50] <jbc> Hello, Could someone help me? - cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal seams to be reporting in fahrenheit; where can I change that to celsius? (can't find anything in systemsettings that even mentions temperature, would have expected it be where numbers, dates and such are)
[22:02] <tsimpson> jbc: that wouldn't be a setting you can change, at least not from the OS. look in your BIOS settings
[22:06] <jbc> Thank you tsimpson, I'll try and ccess the bios, back in a bit.
[22:31] <XartaoX> ahoy ... just installed KDE, just the base desktop environment .. previously using XFCE .. Ubuntu Studio 11.10 ...
[22:32] <XartaoX> I can't get the volume knob on my keyboard to function ... I have selected the exact keyboard in the 'Input Devices' settings panel ... a Dell SK-8135
[22:33] <XartaoX> the vol knob works fine under both xfce and E17 (which I also have installed but don't use)
[22:33] <XartaoX> Ubuntu Studio includes ALSA/PulseAudio/JACK/MIDI installed and pre-configured to work together for making music
[22:36] <Ezim> XartaoX, have you looked here: http://imgur.com/UKvV7
[22:36] <Ezim> you can pick your own volume up/down
[22:36] <Ezim> if the default does not work.
[22:39] <XartaoX> ummmm ... that is where? i couldn't make it out from the language ... i thought i'd looked everywhere, but didn't really recognize that screen
[22:42] <Ezim> systemsetting
[22:42] <Ezim> shortcust and gester (correct in english)?
[22:42] <Ezim> then pick global...
[22:43] <XartaoX> thx
[22:45] <XartaoX> well .. maybe that's the problem ... no kde mixer component
[22:46] <Ezim> XartaoX, add kmix widget
[22:47] <Ezim> look for systemtray or something like that.
[22:47] <Ezim> it should be there by default
[22:48] <XartaoX> it wasn't. installing it now.
[23:03] <XartaoX> i'll be fine continuing to just use Synaptic for package management, yes?
[23:03] <Ezim> XartaoX, yes.
[23:03]  * Ezim going to bed.
[23:04] <XartaoX> thx again. sleep well =]
