| LINKSWORD2 | Hey guys, I'm trying to install a program I used to use called KShutdown. | 12:46 |
| LINKSWORD2 | The command line to install it should be; "sudo apt-get install kshutdown" but it comes back with an error that says "E: Couldn't find package kshutdown" | 12:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | !kshutdown | 12:48 |
| schnelle_ | LINKSWORD2: i am using it all the time | 12:51 |
| orated_ | !info kshutdown | 12:51 |
| ubottu | kshutdown (source: kshutdown): advanced shut down utility for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0final-1 (oneiric), package size 123 kB, installed size 824 kB | 12:51 |
| schnelle_ | it is in repos | 12:51 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Well, I can't get it to install. | 12:52 |
| schnelle_ | LINKSWORD2: make sure you have universe repositorium turned on | 12:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | How? | 12:53 |
| schnelle_ | go to muon package manager>settings>configure software sources | 12:54 |
| schnelle_ | universe should be checked | 12:55 |
| schnelle_ | and change server to main | 12:55 |
| LINKSWORD2 | schnelle_: I'm using Kubuntu 9.10 because of the age of my system. My graphics card will not support Kubuntu 11 or newer. | 12:56 |
| schnelle_ | LINKSWORD2: then that option is in kpackagekit | 12:57 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What I don't understand is why kshutdown will not install through Konsole... | 12:58 |
| orated_ | 'coz your software sources is not pointing it to the repository containing that package | 12:59 |
| LINKSWORD2 | orated_: Can you help me find the appropriate repository line? | 12:59 |
| schnelle_ | kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:59 |
| schnelle_ | look for lines where says "universe". if some line have # sign at begging, delete it | 13:00 |
| schnelle_ | for example #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-security universe | 13:01 |
| schnelle_ | you should delete # | 13:02 |
| orated_ | LINKSWORD2: As schnelle_ said, go to muon/kpackagekit and then check universe section under 'Ubuntu Software' or edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:02 |
| schnelle_ | then save changes, sudo apt-get update | 13:02 |
| schnelle_ | sudo apt-get install kshutdown | 13:02 |
| schnelle_ | LINKSWORD2: and what graphic card do you have? kubuntu 9.10 just suck compared to 11.10 or next 12.04 | 13:04 |

| BluesKaj | 1ok , I'll try schnelle_ , LINKSWORD2 what's up ? | 13:09 |
| schnelle_ | i have to leave soon | 13:10 |
| BluesKaj | ok schnelle_ np | 13:10 |
| LINKSWORD2 | BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/844338 | 13:10 |
| LINKSWORD2 | This is subsequent to attempting to install kshutdown via Konsole "sudo apt-get install kshutdown" with error "E: Could not find package kshutdown" | 13:11 |
| orated_ | LINKSWORD2: Before editing sources were there any such errors? | 13:11 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Unknown. I haven't used this system in about 3 months. | 13:12 |
| schnelle_ | LINKSWORD2: does kubuntu 9.10 have kpackagekit? you can try to switch from us server to main server. It is in settings tab, then click on "configure sources" | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, which kubuntu version are you on ? I see karmic repos in the sources list ..don't think that's supported any longer | 13:13 |
| schnelle_ | and i think kubuntu 9.10 is not supported anymor | 13:13 |
| schnelle_ | :) | 13:13 |
| bazhang | !9.10 | 13:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. | 13:13 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, yup , time to upgrade , if you want support | 13:14 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm able to upgrade as far as 10.10. Unfortunately, my graphics card throws a hissy-fit with anything newer, such as 11.04. | 13:14 |
| === fille is now known as fille1 | ||
| === fille1 is now known as fille12 | ||
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, which graphics card ? | 13:14 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I don't exactly know. | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | lspci -nn | grep VGA | 13:15 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I got it in a misc parts box in a computer store, and there was no label on the card or the anti-static bag it was in. | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | run the above command LINKSWORD2 | 13:16 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Return: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV10DDR [GeForce 256 DDR] [10de:0101] (rev 10) | 13:16 |
| LINKSWORD2 | If I would be running anything newer than 10.10, I'd have to have an appropriate driver package written for compatibility.... | 13:18 |
| LINKSWORD2 | !10.04 | 13:18 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) | 13:18 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'll set the system up to upgrade to 10.04. That'll have to do for now. | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, that card is pretty old , close to 10yrs I think | 13:20 |
| schnelle_ | LINKSWORD2: try 11.10 or 12.04 liveCD | 13:20 |
| schnelle_ | there is now opensorce driver for that old card i think | 13:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | schnelle_: Graphics card still throws a hissy-fit. Not a good idea. | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | you might be better off just using the onboard video gpu on the mobo | 13:20 |
| schnelle_ | did you try to boot 11.10? | 13:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | schnelle_: Yes. | 13:21 |
| LINKSWORD2 | BluesKaj: If I recall correctly, the onboard is dead. | 13:21 |
| schnelle_ | pfffff | 13:21 |
| schnelle_ | try papy linux :) | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, bummer , i guess schnelle_ 's live cd suggestion might work , the new open source drivers are wider ranging in their support than ever | 13:23 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm familiar with, and prefer Ubuntu/Kubuntu | 13:23 |
| schnelle_ | i am out of ideas... and time... have to learn now... see ya later | 13:23 |
| BluesKaj | bye schnelle_ | 13:23 |
| LINKSWORD2 | BluesKaj: Would upgrading through the distro's from 10 to 11 via the repositories work? | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | you have to go thru each release , without skipping any ..very time consuming | 13:25 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I've got all the time in the world... | 13:25 |
| LINKSWORD2 | The question I'm asking though, is would that driver work? | 13:25 |
| BluesKaj | unless you upgrade to 10.10 which is an LTS then you can upgrade to the next LTS directly ,12.04 which is in beta atm | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | oops 10.04 to 12.04 | 13:26 |
| bazhang | 10.10 is not an lts | 13:26 |
| LINKSWORD2 | No, it's not. Even I remember that much. lol | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | yeah bazhang , my mistake | 13:27 |
| LINKSWORD2 | So... I could upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 directly? | 13:27 |
| bazhang | yep | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 13:27 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Would it be better to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, 11.04 & 11.10, then 12.04? | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | no | 13:28 |
| LINKSWORD2 | ? | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | 10.04 to 12.04 is better, fewer steps in between | 13:29 |
| LINKSWORD2 | BluesKaj: What command can I run to get the MOBO info? | 13:29 |
| bazhang | sudo lshw | 13:29 |
| orated_ | lshw | 13:29 |
| BluesKaj | too much info , Id just go into the bios | 13:30 |

| orated | Is there any mistake in this sources.list - http://paste.ubuntu.com/844148/ ? | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | or just at line 52 , remove the # | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | orated, ^ | 14:00 |
| orated | That's for canonical source, how is that required? | 14:01 |
| orated | BluesKaj: I noticed that checking ticking Canonical Partners (Source Code) uncommented the # from related line 52 . But usually how is source code required? | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | well, when building a new version of an app , dpkg uses source code as well afaik , but you can comment it if you want , that's your choice | 14:13 |
| orated | BluesKaj: Yes, commenting that causes errors like - http://imagebin.org/199 | 14:18 |

| orated | sec | 14:19 |
| orated | http://imagebin.org/199220 | 14:19 |

| designbybeck | Hello BluesKaj | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | hey designbybeck | 14:24 |
| orated | Ok. Secondly, do you know about bootchart? I get boot time of about 60s. Can you help me fix it using - http://imagebin.org/199031 http://imagebin.org/199035 | 14:24 |
| designbybeck | I'm getting ready for our Texas Open Source Project - TexOS and I'm trying to make the USB Live Boot drives | 14:25 |
| designbybeck | but in the Startup Disk Creator, when I go to Erase Disk, it acaully starts repeating the listing over and over again | 14:25 |
| designbybeck | and doesn't do anything | 14:25 |
| orated | designbybeck: Yes, even I noticed that behavior in usb-creator-kde. Whenever it fails to erase it, I use partitionmanager/gparted to format the usb | 14:28 |
| designbybeck | but then every things else works after that orated? | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, I have no clue , my experience with USB OS images is nil ...my pcs are too old to boot from USB drives | 14:29 |
| designbybeck | I've got 11 or so of these to burn | 14:29 |
| === noxis_ is now known as noxis | ||
| designbybeck | here is what it was doing orated http://www.pasteall.org/pic/26671 | 14:32 |
| designbybeck | i had just one Verbatium drive plugged in, and wheenn i pressed Erase Disk, it kept duplicating it over and over | 14:32 |
| orated | Ah yes.. it worked after few attempts and its only dependent on the usb port you are using. I got only e-SATA working over USB3 slots here, depends on your system hardware | 14:32 |
| orated | Yes, same thing. I remember | 14:33 |
| designbybeck | hmmm, i don't know what slot that is on my laptop, i'll try another one | 14:33 |
| orated | If its about erasing, I would suggest you to format using partitionmanager/gparted instead of using Erase Disk option from usb creator | 14:34 |
| designbybeck | gotcha | 14:34 |
| orated | BluesKaj: Any help on above bootcharts? :) | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | orated, looking | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | orated, and how long does bootup take ? | 14:44 |
| orated | As it said 58.90 s | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | seems you loading a ntfs partition, and nfs file shares /exports , plus VM ware looks like it's looping a few times before it loads | 14:46 |
| orated | I'm not very much concerned about boot time usually but lately, I noticed taking more than normal | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | a minute is along time | 14:47 |
| orated | Ah, yes. I saw that. But I'm not sure about fixing it | 14:47 |
| orated | I went to startup from system settings, but the services seemed right | 14:47 |
| orated | I commented the nfs, ntfs mounting from fstab | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | me neither , i don't use Virtual OSs | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | ntfs and nfs should load without any delay so I would uncomment them , i think the virtual OS is giving you the problem | 14:49 |
| BluesKaj | b ut that's as far as I can help | 14:49 |
| orated | Yes, thanks. I'll try that and find about virtual OS part | 14:50 |
| orated | Which particular vm service you noticed? | 14:52 |
| BluesKaj | which ones do you use ? | 14:53 |
| orated | No I meant to ask which service you found is related to vm. I use VMPlayer | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | ok do you have vmpalyer loading ar startup as a daemon ? | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | at startup | 14:55 |
| orated | No, I don't see any in service manager | 14:58 |
| orated | But what from bootchart made you say its related to virtual machine also? :) | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | orated, what about a startup script in autostart? | 14:59 |
| orated | There is only one script there set for Pre-KDE startup which is also not related to vm | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | orated, , because it's only thing i could see out of the ordinary , so naturally i suspected that | 15:00 |
| orated | Ah possibilities then. Ok, I'll try to figure it out if vm is causing it | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | orated, I tried VMware full install a few yrs agoand it really slowed things down , of course I was running XP in it , but I don't recall bootup as being particularly slow , only when i boot into VMware the pc slowed down to molasses in january | 15:04 |
| designbybeck | Hmmm the keystroke Alt+PrintScreen isn't supported by Qt | 15:05 |
| designbybeck | I'm trying to setup the custom screenshot for Shutter | 15:05 |
| orated | Its only Ptrscr key to open Ksnapshot designbybeck | 15:05 |
| designbybeck | But i wanted to change it to use Shutter | 15:05 |
| designbybeck | so I can do Alt+Printscreeen to do a selection | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, my prtscn key no longer works here either | 15:06 |
| orated | You can set a delay of few seconds before freeze | 15:06 |
| orated | and then make a selection, if I got you right | 15:07 |
| designbybeck | have you ever used Shutter orated? | 15:07 |
| orated | yes | 15:07 |
| designbybeck | the kde one is nice as well, but in shutter you can go to the editor | 15:07 |
| Ezim | BluesKaj, http://imgur.com/ms6hZ | 15:09 |
| Ezim | if you have problem with ptrscr | 15:10 |
| Ezim | mabe is unmarked for you | 15:10 |
| Ezim | or you can create one new there | 15:10 |
| designbybeck | i found a walk through for it: http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/01/integrating-shutter-with-kde-4-7/ | 15:13 |
| designbybeck | i'm going to try this rout | 15:13 |
| designbybeck | route | 15:13 |
| Ezim | designbybeck, its easy you can create a keyboard shortcut | 15:14 |
| Ezim | designbybeck, have you shutter installed? | 15:14 |
| designbybeck | yes i have shutter installed | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | Ezim, thanks , it's fixed :) | 15:15 |
| Ezim | you only need to change from ksnapshot to shutter here: http://imgur.com/gZjGy | 15:15 |
| Ezim | BluesKaj, np. :) | 15:16 |
| Ezim | BluesKaj, systemsettings :) kde/kubuntus best friend. :P | 15:16 |
| * BluesKaj wonders why the input prtscn was turned off by default | 15:17 | |
| designbybeck | that is odd, MetaKey+ PrnScrn is supported by Qt but Alt_PrtScrn isn't | 15:17 |
| Ezim | BluesKaj, it was not here. running kubuntu 12.04? | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | Ezim, it was turned off after an upgrade on 12.04 , dunno how or why | 15:18 |
| Ezim | BluesKaj, file bug report. :) | 15:19 |
| designbybeck | hmmm | 15:19 |
| designbybeck | i looks like i have everything setup, but it isn't starting shutter and doing the correct command | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | Ezim, well I have to be absolutely sure first | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, try ksnapshot in the run command (alt+f2) | 15:21 |
| designbybeck | well yes that works BluesKaj | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | then no need for all those gtk libs that come with shutter | 15:22 |
| designbybeck | but i wanted it for the editor/effects | 15:22 |
| designbybeck | Ksnapshot is nice though | 15:22 |
| designbybeck | i'll just use shutter when needed | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | ok , gotcha designbybeck | 15:23 |
| designbybeck | shutter has a global settings menu so that is nice too | 15:23 |
| designbybeck | in the systray | 15:23 |
| designbybeck | lol, i got on the screenshot tangent when i was trying to show my usb burning problem | 15:24 |
| designbybeck | ...now i gotta get back to the usb drives | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | are you copying bootable OS iso images to usb sticks , designbybeck , or what method are you using ? | 15:26 |
| designbybeck | currect | 15:26 |
| designbybeck | using StartUp Disk Creator | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | and they don't boot when you test them ? | 15:27 |
| designbybeck | instead of trying to click Erase Disk, i' just slected the ISO and told it to make | 15:27 |
| designbybeck | so it looks like it is going now, I'll see what comes of it | 15:27 |
| designbybeck | it was doing this BluesKaj http://www.pasteall.org/pic/26671 | 15:27 |
| designbybeck | when i pressed Erase Disk, it started randomly duplicated the listing over and over and never did anything | 15:28 |
| === orated_ is now known as orated | ||
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, listing ? | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, I have to ask , is the drive formatted to fat32 ? | 15:32 |
| designbybeck | might have been | 15:32 |
| designbybeck | i just opened it from the factory | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | then it should accept the image | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | no need to erase disk if it's empty | 15:33 |
| orated | designbybeck: Even for creating image its listing? | 15:33 |
| designbybeck | hmmmm | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | of course the creator should make the stick bootable ..I hope :P | 15:35 |
| designbybeck | yes It looks like that first stick is working | 15:36 |
| orated | yes but it creates duplicate entry or lists sdb1 and then sdb again and again during erase disk and startup disk creation | 15:36 |
| designbybeck | about 10 more to go ;) | 15:36 |
| designbybeck | took about 5mins or so | 15:36 |
| designbybeck | i just skipped the ears disk and let it do its own thing | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, check that stick will boot the image | 15:37 |
| designbybeck | just did | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | ok , and ? | 15:38 |
| designbybeck | it booted | 15:38 |
| designbybeck | it is at the try/install screen | 15:38 |
| designbybeck | i clicked try, and it is spinnin'....seems to be taking longer than normal | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | I'm curious due to one of my bandn=mates new interst in Linux ... | 15:39 |
| designbybeck | there it goes | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | cool | 15:39 |
| orated | great | 15:39 |
| designbybeck | these are older Dell desktops we'll be using for TexOS starting Sat. | 15:39 |
| designbybeck | and they are random specs and such | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | will they boot from a USB ? | 15:40 |
| designbybeck | yes | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 15:40 |
| designbybeck | they are about 5 years old | 15:40 |
| designbybeck | 3-5years old | 15:40 |
| designbybeck | but i do have one that is pretty old that doesn't seem to boot from USB, but it will not be used for this project | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | strange , this pc is only 4 yrs old , there's no uSB boot option the BIOS | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | in | 15:41 |
| designbybeck | what kinda PC? | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | HP amd 64 dual core | 15:41 |
| designbybeck | oh that is odd | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | well, it's pretty close to entry level , even back in 2007 | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | bbiab | 15:46 |
| BluesKaj | odd , still have floppy group listed in the bios , but there's no floppy drive on this pc | 15:52 |
| designbybeck | hmmm | 15:52 |
| designbybeck | have you tried flashin'g/upgrading the bios? | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, no , I haven't | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | the bios was flashed/updated in Mar 2008 according to lshw , i bought this pc in nov 2007 ...this is very strange | 15:57 |
| BluesKaj | and I don't recall ever flashing the bios on this pc ...ever | 15:57 |
| designbybeck | hmm | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | unless my memory is failing me | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | I promptly reformatted to ext2 and installed kubuntu 7.10 which was new then ...it ran beatuifully | 16:04 |
| * BluesKaj looks at plpbtnoemul.iso | 16:14 | |

| CaptainLexington | Hey guys, I have a question about using Canonical-trusted software in Kubuntu. | 16:53 |
| hi | 16:54 | |
| CaptainLexington | I installed Frotz Z-machine via apt-get in the terminal, and I know it worked, because I can run it from the terminal | 16:54 |
| CaptainLexington | but I can't find it anywhere in the program menu | 16:54 |
| CaptainLexington | nor does the Muon package manager believe it to be installed | 16:55 |
| caius_ | hi all | 16:55 |
| designbybeck | hello caius_ | 16:55 |
| caius_ | i have a problem with the package manager | 16:55 |
| caius_ | i have made an update of flash today in the morning and muon package manager crashed at 60% of the update | 16:56 |
| designbybeck | i'm new to Kubuntu caius_ not sure I have an answer for that | 16:56 |
| caius_ | i turned off kubuntu and restarted and tried to uninstall flash plugin manually. since then i get a notificaion that i can not use the package manager because anotherone is already running | 16:58 |
| caius_ | how can i turn of the packagemanager that is running in the background? | 16:59 |
| === dimw1t is now known as a7145 | ||
| caius_ | no problem designbybeck | 17:03 |
| caius_ | hope to get some suggestions | 17:03 |
| === AD is now known as Guest81460 | ||
| CaptainLexington | Well in normal Ubuntu I'd just use the Process Manager, find the process and kill | 17:03 |
| CaptainLexington | there are also terminal means to do this | 17:04 |
| CaptainLexington | with which I am unfamiliar | 17:04 |
| CaptainLexington | I'm also not sure how the Kubuntu process manager works | 17:04 |
| yofel | caius_: ctrl+esc will open the process manager in kde | 17:07 |
| yofel | there check if apt, dpkg or qaptworker is running | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | caius_, are you referring to the package notifier | 17:07 |
| caius_ | no | 17:07 |
| caius_ | the package manager | 17:07 |
| === humannoise is now known as hakikiki | ||
| asfyxia | caius: in the terminal (Konsole) run: sudo configure --a | 17:10 |
| yofel | that would be sudo dpkg --configure -a | 17:11 |
| yofel | if that's what the problem is | 17:11 |
| asfyxia | you're right; sorry | 17:11 |
| caius_ | i have checked all the programms that are now running on my machine | 17:12 |
| caius_ | and there is none of the apt,dpkg or qaptworker running | 17:12 |
| Ezim | Philip5, welcome :). | 17:15 |
| caius_ | yofel: i tried that comandline you wrote. system says that the command is not found | 17:19 |
| yofel | wich one? | 17:19 |
| yofel | *which | 17:19 |
| caius_ | sudo dpkg--configure--a | 17:20 |
| EvilResistance | caius_: sudo dpkg --configure --a | 17:20 |
| EvilResistance | try putting the space in there | 17:20 |
| EvilResistance | i think... | 17:20 |
| * EvilResistance checks dpkg | 17:20 | |
| EvilResistance | yeah, that'd probably be it | 17:21 |
| caius_ | nope, no results | 17:21 |

| yofel | caius_: ok, so dpkg isn't broken, good | 17:25 |
| yofel | caius_: did you see any apt process in the process manager? | 17:26 |
| caius_ | no apt process | 17:26 |
| yofel | and it still complains? | 17:26 |
| === zafiro is now known as Guest98017 | ||

| yofel | caius_: can you try this: | 17:29 |
| yofel | !aptlock | 17:29 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 17:29 |
| caius_ | flashplugin installed | 17:30 |
| * yofel reads backlog | 17:30 | |
| yofel | caius_: can you try: sudo apt-get install -f | 17:31 |
| caius_ | i installed flash | 17:32 |
| yofel | caius_: I've read that | 17:33 |
| designbybeck | is it working for you caius_ what was the solution you ended up going with? | 17:33 |
| caius_ | one moment please | 17:33 |
| caius_ | i will restart and give feedback | 17:36 |
| yofel | caius_: any improvement? | 17:42 |
| caius_ | it seems that flash is still not working | 17:42 |
| caius_ | neither on firefox,opera,and chrome | 17:43 |
| yofel | caius_: was it actually installed? | 17:43 |
| yofel | might not be the case if it crashed midway | 17:43 |
| caius_ | yes | 17:43 |
| caius_ | it was installed | 17:43 |
| caius_ | i am installing it now once again | 17:44 |
| caius_ | i installed the flash plugin 10 | 17:45 |
| caius_ | and adobe flash | 17:45 |
| caius_ | and its still not working | 17:46 |
| Ezim | caius_, try flashaid. | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | caius_, which kubuntu version ? | 17:46 |
| caius_ | 11.10 | 17:46 |
| yofel | caius_: can you tell me what this tells you: ls -la /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin | 17:47 |
| Ezim | caesar_, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-aid/ | 17:47 |
| caesar_ | Ezim: i don't use FF | 17:48 |
| Ezim | caesar_, okey. chrome should come with flash from start. | 17:48 |
| caius_ | yofel : should i type it in ff? | 17:48 |
| caesar_ | Ezim: try cai+tab | 17:49 |
| yofel | caius_: no, in konsole | 17:49 |
| caius_ | yofel this is what i get: WS830EA-ABD:~$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin | 17:50 |
| caius_ | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2012-02-18 10:30 /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin -> /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | caius_, libflashplayer.so should be listed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ..the best method is to download flash from adobe , extract the file , copy the libflashplayer.so to the path i mentioned | 17:50 |
| yofel | caius_: ouch, uninstall gnash | 17:50 |
| yofel | that's a rather non-working type of flash plugin :( | 17:50 |
| yofel | BluesKaj: installing from partner is easier, and gives you updates | 17:51 |
| yofel | his problem is that he has gnash installed though | 17:51 |
| caius_ | yofel: i have uninstalled gnash | 17:51 |
| yofel | caius_: ok, try again | 17:52 |
| yofel | (using flash in firefox) | 17:52 |
| BluesKaj | I had klash installed which uses gnash , and had no problems , the problem is the flashplugin or wrapper if he's using 64 bit | 17:52 |
| caius_ | i use 64 bit | 17:52 |
| * yofel never got gnash to work in a sane way | 17:52 | |
| caius_ | yofel: its not working | 17:53 |
| yofel | caius_: can you tell me what the ls command tells you now? | 17:53 |
| caius_ | yofel: ls -la /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin | 17:54 |

| yofel | and try again | 17:54 |
| === Guest81460 is now known as AD | ||
| BluesKaj | then caius_ , then try the method I posted above , and yofel that method was recommended by the ppl at ubuntu+1 when they were having flash pligin problems | 17:54 |
| yofel | well, back then we had no packaged flash for 64bit | 17:55 |
| BluesKaj | I still don't trust the packaged method ...I don't get any audio on flash sites with the packaged method | 17:56 |
| yofel | hm, works for me | 17:57 |
| caius_ | yofel,blueskaj: i tried again , and i get the notification the latest flash version is requiered to view videos | 17:57 |
| yofel | but yeah, sound in flash is tricky | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | could be my soundcard probs with alsa too | 17:57 |
| yofel | caius_: now install 'adobe-flashplugin' if it's there | 17:58 |
| ryzzan | anyone can help me installing sun-java6 on ubuntu? | 17:58 |
| yofel | ryzzan: was removed, either use openjdk or install java from the oracle website | 17:58 |
| caius_ | yofel : i download it directly from adobe | 17:58 |
| BluesKaj | caius_, did you place the libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins? | 17:58 |
| caius_ | BluesKaj: i did not | 17:59 |
| caius_ | youtube videos are also flash isnt`it? | 18:00 |
| * yofel leaves this to BluesKaj | 18:00 | |
| MAMOHT | Hi guys. I have a problem with battery monitor: "Battery: not present " | 18:00 |

| ryzzan | ty | 18:01 |
| yofel | MAMOHT: can you open konsole and run 'upower --dump'? does that show any battery statistics? | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | caius_, also try placing it in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ , or make sure it's there | 18:02 |
| === tjbarber is now known as TorpedoSkyline | ||

| BluesKaj | caius_, so what did you do so we can help others that have the same problem ? | 18:04 |
| MAMOHT | http://paste.ubuntu.com/844720/ | 18:05 |
| yofel | that looks fine, so there shouldn't be a reason why the applet doesn't show it o.O | 18:06 |
| yofel | which kubuntu and which kde release? | 18:06 |
| caius_ | i typed in the line in terminal: ls -la /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin | 18:07 |
| MAMOHT | 4.7 | 18:07 |
| MAMOHT | kubuntu 11.10 | 18:07 |
| MAMOHT | I can paste screenshot | 18:07 |
| caius_ | then i uninstalled gnash | 18:08 |
| caius_ | and installed flash and flashplugin from adobe | 18:08 |
| MAMOHT | a few days ago everything was fine | 18:09 |
| caius_ | but i think the main problem was that i had 2 package manager running at the same time , and did not know how to end one of them | 18:09 |
| caius_ | to solve this problem i typed in terminal : sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a | 18:11 |
| caius_ | and it worked | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | yes , that's the dpkg lock when you have more than one package manager open, which includes the terminal | 18:12 |
| caius_ | exactly | 18:12 |
| caius_ | after that i could uninstall gnash and install flash | 18:13 |
| * BluesKaj prefers apt-get to muon or apper , or even syanptic , altho synaptic is a good reference for package info | 18:14 | |
| TorpedoSkyline | BluesKaj: is there a GUI to apt-get? Or are you just typing it out on konsole? | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | heh, i don't have flashplugin in /etc/alternatives | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | TorpedoSkyline, well typing yes, but I'm lazy so i use a combo of alsiases and no pwd in the sudoers file so my sudo apt-get update etc consists of 2 letters like ud in the terminal | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | alisas are set in ~/.bashrc | 18:18 |
| TorpedoSkyline | BluesKaj: lol. =P | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | TorpedoSkyline, in ~/.bashrc one types for example , alias ud='sudo apt-get update' | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | to whom it may concern , aliases , http://bashscripts.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=174 | 18:26 |

| icewaterman | i want to disable it for security reasons (i do not need it) | 20:08 |
| icewaterman | cant uninstall it though, as it will take kdenetwork down with it | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | icewaterman, you should be able to uninstall krfb | 20:09 |
| icewaterman | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/iLWgNPMk doesnt look good | 20:10 |
| BluesKaj | icewaterman, yeah , not so good | 20:13 |
| icewaterman | but there must be a way to disable it | 20:13 |
| icewaterman | BluesKaj: there is a config file named .kde/share/config/krfbrc | 20:15 |
| icewaterman | however i dunno what options besides the ones already in there i can set | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | icewaterman, is it listed as running in system monitor ? if so you should be able to disable it in system settings>startup & shutdown>session management , applications to be excluded , type kfrb in the dialog box | 20:16 |
| icewaterman | BluesKaj: unfortunately its not | 20:18 |
| icewaterman | BluesKaj: ah, found a way | 20:20 |
| icewaterman | just killing it once seems to work, probably because the reason for it getting started was it being started sometime when i logged out | 20:20 |
| BluesKaj | icewaterman, add it to session management exclusion anyway . it might work | 20:22 |
| icewaterman | BluesKaj: i now always start with a new session | 20:22 |
