| excognac | pxc: sorry, I wasn't clear. So, I have other things on sda1-sda3, they are fine I think. I used gparted to delete various distros and my mess (also resized sda3). Then I chose manual installation for 11.10 kubuntu as follows: Sda4 contains sda5 (swap) sda6 is root (/ ) and sda7 is /home. Sda6 was appointed as boot volume, and when I rebooted the system grub rescue came up. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| excognac | any ideas on what did i wrong? | 00:03 |
| DasKreech | sharpspear: hmm? | 00:04 |
| pxc | excognac, if Kubuntu was the last distro installed, Grub should still be working unless something went wrong with Kubuntu. The drive numbers should still be the same as they were, and the UUIDs should definitely still be the same. I'm not sure what the problem is | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | ronnoc: could be.. I just upgrade kde to 4.8 and the only script that I know is on is the HUD. You know when it shows an onscreen display of what playing at the beginning. I'll turn stuff off and see. | 00:07 |
| excognac | pxc: thanks anyway. Yes, there was also a kubuntu installed, but first everything was deleted to create unallocated space.... I ran rescue mode and tried to reinstall grub on sda6 and it said fatal error. Shall I just reinstallit now? | 00:09 |
| Scunizi | ronnoc: do I have to restart amorak to make the scrips stop? | 00:10 |
| pxc | excognac, I would just try reinstallation, yeah. If the installation before had a fatal error anyway, it's probably not worth trying to rescue halfway through. I at least am not familiar enough with the stages of the (K)Ubuntu install to figure out how to manually complete it | 00:12 |
| Scunizi | ronnoc: fixed.. I had to close it totally and found some process was still running in the background. After I killed that all was good. It even displayed the "Context" information correctly where it was goofy before. | 00:14 |
| excognac | pxc: thanks. [sigh] I love kubuntu but lately it appeared to be a bit buggy, not meaning hereby the installation: I had trouble with simply using libreoffice... Nevermind, bye now and thanks again | 00:15 |

| lamofgodrocksYEA | Libreoffice Impress v 3.4.4 on Kubuntu 11.10 has a problem with slide sorter. It doesn't work | 15:14 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | has anyone else seen this? | 15:14 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | If you try to move a slide it doesn't go where you want but goes to the first slide = no matter what you drag it to | 15:15 |
| lightstar | Yea, I had that happen to me too. | 15:16 |
| lightstar | Since it was just a simple slide I just moved ALL the slides to the top so it fell in order...bad hack but it worked for me | 15:17 |
| dmatt | when I edit multiple Libreoffice files from samba share, only first opened is updated on share by kioexec? is there some configuration file in Kubuntu for kioexec or is this more likely upstream bug? | 15:29 |
| === david is now known as Guest10958 | ||
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, I think the but is in KDE | 15:37 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, Cuz it works on Ubutu 11.10 and Windows with Libreoffice 3.4.4 | 15:37 |
| lightstar | lamofgodrocksYEA: The problem only occurs in KDE? BTW, I'm using KDE 4.8, haven't tried it on the stock Kubuntu version. | 15:39 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, Yes only on Kubutu | 15:40 |
| lightstar | lamofgodrocksYEA: hmm.... Now I'm curious as to the reason | 15:41 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, I've had the problem for a LONG time w LibreOffice on Kde and previously on Ubuntu 11.04 | 15:44 |
| lightstar | lamofgodrocksYEA: So it isn't just the current version? It's been on since 11.04? I was using Xubuntu 10.10 until recently and I never saw this problem arise (as you mentioned for Ubuntu). I just figured this issue has something to do with 4.8 so I left it as it is | 15:47 |
| rtdos | i have nepomuk disabled so how can i keep the alerts from telling me something i already know? i went and disabled all related notifications, etc. | 15:49 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, I'm not exactly sure about the older versions of Ubuntu but I have had the issue for awhile | 15:51 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | Doesn't work at all with Kubuntu 11.10 | 15:51 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | Should I file a bug? | 15:52 |
| lightstar | lamofgodrocksYEA: I think filing a bug should be a good idea. At least would help inform the developers that something like this is happening | 15:53 |
| rtdos | i am gettign glx errors when trying to load games, how can i fix this? | 15:54 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, great, I will do this later today when I get back from work | 15:59 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, Just wanted to see if anyone else saw it before filing a bug | 16:00 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, thanks! | 16:00 |
| lightstar | lamofgodrocksYEA: no prob. I thought I was the only one experiencing it too. Since I only found out about it yesterday I didn't give it much thought :) | 16:00 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, I am a professional public speaker and I can't have it NOT working or I'm skrewed | 16:01 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, I don't want to have to resort to booting into Winbloz | 16:01 |
| lightstar | lamofgodrocksYEA: LOL!!..Would be embarassing when it fails right when you need it. Hahaha | 16:02 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | lightstar, yeah, especially if I'm trying to show everyone how cool Kubuntu and KDE are! | 16:03 |
| lamofgodrocksYEA | =P | 16:03 |
| lightstar | lamofgodrocksYEA: totally...everything works fine except for that one oopsie (a major one) then everyone just goes "meh, that doesn't happen with Apple" | 16:04 |

| hylian | is there a way to bring all my plasma widgets to the main desktop, I have some running I want to close, but cannot. | 16:46 |
| omido | Is it true that Kubuntu is going to be discontiuned in favor of Ubuntu? | 16:48 |
| hylian | no | 16:49 |
| omido | I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 | 16:49 |
| DarthFrog | omido: Official paid support is being dropped for Kubuntu. Otherwise it's business as usual. | 16:49 |
| hylian | Kubuntu is Ubuntu, with KDE already installed and operative. If anything, you may at some point have to install ubuntu, and the install kde seperately. | 16:49 |
| DarthFrog | Kubuntu will hae the same status as Xubuntu and Lubuntu: Officially annointed derivatives. | 16:50 |
| hylian | I think it currently does, am i mistaken? | 16:50 |
| hylian | is there a way to bring all my plasma widgets to the main desktop, I have some running I want to close, but cannot. | 16:51 |
| omido | Well . that is not good | 16:51 |
| rtdos | i am gettign glx errors when trying to load games, how can i fix this? | 16:51 |
| omido | Canonical is stupid if it thinks that the paying customers(enterprises) are going to like the Unity interface and use it for business | 16:52 |
| omido | I believe right now the best DE for business is KDE | 16:52 |
| DarthFrog | rtdos: Do you have direct rendering enabled? Open a terminal and type "glxinfo". | 16:52 |
| DarthFrog | Actually, type "glxinfo | less" :-) | 16:53 |
| omido | The oldest commercial distro of the world has realised it and that's they are going to release SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 with KDE as the default DE.(from what i've heared) | 16:53 |
| lightstar | I agree with omido. KDE is the best in terms of user experience and apps. Unity is a blight that seems to torture everyone who uses it :( | 16:53 |
| hylian | omido, canonical is making a multi pronged attack, and I think the result is unity. i agree with you though, unity sucks for most applications. | 16:53 |
| lightstar | DarthFrog: Is glxinfo installed by default on Kubuntu? I thought it was in a separate package | 16:55 |
| DarthFrog | lightstar: I think it's part of the mesa-utils package. Don't know if it's installed by default. | 16:55 |
| omido | I dont know if its just me but i cannot deal with Unity and even Gnome shell.if there wasnt a KDE i'd go with XFCE or something. Canonical has to realize that the paying part of the market(enterprises) are so used to the traditional desktop environments | 16:55 |
| hylian | kde is so very fubar'd though. A hundred thousand options and confusingness. I can't get all my widgets to show, so i am running widgets I don't need and want to kill, but cant... thats just the beginning. it sure is pretty though. | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | unity is creating opposite effect ..disunity I'm a fraid and kde/kubuntu is also suffering for it due to the developement it still requires , stealing the support from kubuntu to work on a project that is bound to fail | 16:56 |
| lightstar | DarthFrog: I just checked on my machine, its not there by default but I think he can install it. Just pointing it out :) | 16:56 |
| DarthFrog | omido: Has to? The only thing that Canonical has to do is realise Mark Shuttleworth's vision. | 16:56 |
| rtdos | DarthFrog: http://paste.kde.org/426572/ | 16:56 |
| lightstar | The thing bout Unity is it shoves a specific way of doing things down our throats without adding much | 16:57 |
| DarthFrog | rtdos: Well, there's your problem. You're not running GLX. :-) | 16:57 |
| omido | DarthFrog: After all Canonical is created to make money.Just like Redhat and SUSE are doing. | 16:57 |
| hylian | seriously, how do you remove hidden widgets, i cannot find anything on the net.. please help | 16:57 |
| rtdos | DarthFrog: how can i install GLX or get it going ? | 16:57 |
| lightstar | At least with KDE, the default options given to end users is relatively sane (which is made better by providing customizability) | 16:57 |
| rtdos | hylian: top right hand corner of your screen do you see an activities button? | 16:58 |
| DarthFrog | rtdos: What video card doyou have? | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | kde will continue , that's a given , but kubuntu may not | 16:58 |
| rtdos | DarthFrog: have no clue :) it's an hp G62 laptop | 16:58 |
| DarthFrog | hylian: Right click on them and select "Remove". | 16:58 |
| DarthFrog | rtdos: Well, young padwan, you need to find out. :-) | 16:58 |
| lightstar | Kubuntu will continue in the same vein as Xubuntu I believe. Canonical can't stop Kubuntu | 16:59 |
| omido | If i'm not mistaken right now the largest contributer to KDE project(both official and commiunity aspect) is SUSE.and i dont think if they discontinue their work | 16:59 |
| DarthFrog | lightstar: Canonical doesn't want to stop Kubuntu. | 16:59 |
| hylian | DarthFrog, I cannot see them. They are hidden, therefore i cannot remove them. | 16:59 |
| hylian | rtdos, yes | 16:59 |
| lightstar | DarthFrog: They're just making supporting unity their highest priority :) | 17:00 |
| DarthFrog | Canonical isn't making any money from Kubuntu so they are re-directing their corporate resources towards a more successful product. | 17:00 |
| lightstar | rtdos: Have you installed the additional drivers for your card? | 17:00 |
| rtdos | hylian click on that button then click on activities you should see a list of activities | 17:00 |
| DarthFrog | hylian: Then how do you know they exist? | 17:00 |
| hylian | i am torn between xfce and kde as my two fave's, with gnome 3 not too far behind. hell, i would use openbox before i ever touched unity, that's just me though. | 17:00 |
| BluesKaj | lightstar, I mean canonical isn't paying anyone to support kubuntu any longer , the single paid edveloper has been withdrawn and assigned other ubuntu related tasks | 17:01 |
| lightstar | DarthFrog: for some values of successful. I know a few people who ditched ubuntu and switched to its derivatives after the Unity debacle | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | developer | 17:01 |
| lightstar | BluesKaj: ahh..that clears it up. | 17:01 |
| hylian | DarthFrog, if you attempt to add a new widget, the system shows which ones are active with a green check mark. | 17:01 |
| rtdos | lightstar, darthfrog um, i don't think i have OpenGL installed: KInfocenter times out on OpenGL (says its not installed) | 17:01 |
| DarthFrog | BluesKaj: But Riddell is still being paid by Canonical, I believe. | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | DarthFrog, yes , he's the guy who's been reassigned | 17:01 |
| hylian | rtdos, right, but it doesn't show me any widgets, just options like search and launch | 17:02 |
| DarthFrog | BluesKaj: I know. :-) | 17:02 |
| lightstar | rtdos: you could try running the additional drivers application to ensure the drivers are installed after which OpenGL should be working (at least that's what I did for my machine) | 17:02 |
| omido | I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 with KDE 3 (trinity desktop) and its very solid and cool | 17:02 |
| === serserar is now known as Guest37362 | ||
| rtdos | lightstar: no additional drivers found. | 17:03 |
| BluesKaj | BBL... | 17:04 |
| lightstar | rtdos: what does the output of this command produce 'lspci|grep VGA ' | 17:04 |
| rtdos | lightstar: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 17:05 |
| DarthFrog | rtdos: Without knowing what video card/chip you have, you're going to be chasing a wild goose. | 17:05 |

| omido | Kubuntu with KDE3 is cool.i recommand it to KDE3 lovers | 17:05 |
| rtdos | so how do i know if or not that i have OpenGL installed? | 17:05 |
| rtdos | and how do i re/install OpenGL? | 17:06 |
| DarthFrog | OpenGL will be part of the video card's drivers. | 17:06 |
| hylian | rtdos, i think i screwed up. I assumed that widgets with a green check mark in add widgets dialog where running somewhere. i'm guessing that just means I have used it before | 17:06 |
| lightstar | rtdos: DarthFrog is right. Normally the drivers come together with the video card drivers | 17:07 |
| hylian | so if a widget is not visible, it absolutely is not running? | 17:08 |
| lightstar | rtdos: I'm not sure if this is of any use but maybe it might give you something to ponder about. Found it via google https://theiszm.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/glx-missing-on-display/ | 17:09 |
| hylian | is there a way to see what widgets are running then? | 17:09 |

| BarkingFish | My USB wifi stick is running off of ndiswrapper, but I'm having to modprobe ndiswrapper after booting to get it to load | 19:43 |

| Shaun | i simply walk away from my machine, 19 mins later screensaver kicks in with a 1 min delay to ask for password, and DPMS off at 20 mins | 20:10 |
| Shaun | no other power savin | 20:10 |
| Shaun | g | 20:10 |
| BluesKaj | Shaun, are you using DPMS then?, it's not clear to me . | 20:21 |
| Shaun | BluesKaj: DPMS off at 20 mins, yet | 20:22 |
| Shaun | I have always used DPMS | 20:22 |
| Shaun | internet connectivity is not lost, other web aware apps are fine, though I've not tested another KDE app | 20:23 |
| BarkingFish | hi again BluesKaj :) | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | hi BarkingFish | 20:27 |
| BarkingFish | Right, I tried adding ndiswrapper into /etc/modules and for some reason only the Gods will explain at some point, it stopped my sound card from picking up | 20:27 |
| BarkingFish | I took it out from there, and added modprobe ndiswrapper into /etc/rc.local - that didn't work either. | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, there seems to be a bug in NM lately , this happened yesterday to someone else except NM wasn't connecting with his settings, altho he wasn't using the wrapper, .the settings weren't sticking | 20:28 |
| Shaun | BluesKaj: no idea, then? :( | 20:29 |
| BluesKaj | no , afraid not, Shaun | 20:29 |
| Shaun | if it matters, network is wired, pc is on 24/7 | 20:29 |
| Shaun | no worries! :) | 20:30 |
| BarkingFish | BluesKaj: NM is working fine here, it's not NM which is the problem. Ndiswrapper isn't getting loaded at boot which is causing the issue. | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | anychance you can connect without ndiswrapper ..which wifi chip , BarkingFish? | 20:32 |
| BarkingFish | BluesKaj: Atheros AR5523 | 20:32 |
| BarkingFish | ath5k doesn't support it though | 20:33 |
| === Y0Y0 is now known as yoyo | ||
| BarkingFish | I have to use this stick over ndiswrapper, if you pull the record of the windows driver up off the net, BluesKaj, it's net5523.inf for Windows XP | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, have you looked into the MadWifi project? | 20:38 |
| BarkingFish | yep | 20:39 |
| BarkingFish | their driver doesn't work the stick either. | 20:39 |
| BluesKaj | usb stick wifi is a real pita in linux | 20:39 |
| BarkingFish | yeah | 20:39 |
| BarkingFish | tell me about it :_ | 20:39 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, i guess you could write a script and have it load into system settings >startup & shutdown ...some thing like, modprobe ndiswrapper | 20:41 |
| BarkingFish | Me and scripts do not go well together :) | 20:42 |
| BarkingFish | I couldn't write a script if you gave me a copy of one to type out :D | 20:42 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, add this , sudo ndiswrapper -m , to, /etc/rc.d/rd.local , with root permissions ..i found it here , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=257260 | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, I see that file no longer exists , so add the command to /etc/modules\ | 20:59 |
| BluesKaj | without the \ | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | oops wrong again , BarkingFish ...I'm not reading far enought down the page , just run , sudo ndiswrapper -m , in th eterminal | 21:02 |
| BarkingFish | ok, hold on | 21:03 |
| BarkingFish | yes, that did it | 21:03 |
| BluesKaj | BarkingFish, I hope that sticks | 21:03 |
| BarkingFish | so do I | 21:04 |
| BluesKaj | gonna reboot ? | 21:04 |
| BarkingFish | I got this back: adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modutils/ndiswrapper ... | 21:04 |
| BarkingFish | so that should have done it | 21:04 |

| BluesKaj | kristoff, FF uses it's own embedded RSS client I believe | 22:27 |
| kristoff | ok! i'll find another source of news | 22:28 |
| BluesKaj | agregator works on all my sources | 22:29 |
| BluesKaj | anyway , gotta go | 22:31 |
| BarkingFish | OK, well I'm back with ndiswrapper working, but now my new soundcard is playing silly beggars with me. I'm recording on audacity, speaking perfectly normally, and coming out on playback sounding like someone speaking through a party noisemaker. | 22:44 |
| BarkingFish | My new card is a Creative Labs X-Fi | 22:44 |
| rtdos | the shutdown option is missing from my kde menu. how can i get it back? | 22:57 |
