[02:05] send me anybody solve my problem-subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3 [03:07] Greetings all! I think someone posted this problem a few days ago. But I don't remember seeing a solution. And now I have this problem! [03:07] Simple box, new install, hooked to a 42" TV via VGA [03:07] when live booting and installing everything looked correct. Then after install and reboot, all the font is BIG! [03:08] icons and bar look correct size, but all fonts seem to have been made BIG, any idea why? [03:17] have the font sizes actually been changed by something? [03:18] Kubuntu defaults mostly to size 8-9 [03:18] haven't touched any settings DaemonFC this was a new install reboot [03:19] why VGA anyway? Does HDMI not work? [03:19] this was for a LinuxMCE Core box, so it was going to be headless anyway [03:19] it only had VGA [03:19] i had put Kubuntu on there just to play with [03:20] I still haven't bought the rest of my hardware [03:20] so i was just playing with it [03:20] fair enough, but VGA can do weird stuff with a LCD/LED display [03:20] Hmmmm [03:20] if you have the option to use DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI, it's better to do that [03:21] sadly no [03:21] most displays and video cards try to compensate for the oddities of VGA, and usually get everything a bit wrong [03:21] :) [03:23] designbybeck: are you using any kind of font antialiasing? [03:23] especially subpixel [03:24] what ever is the default [03:24] i don't know === asobiCrash is now known as asobi [03:24] try disabling font antialiasing and forcing 96 dpi [03:26] where do i find that at? [03:26] system settings / application appearance / fonts [03:27] Hey DaemonFC looks li ke that fixed it [03:27] Thanks! :) [03:27] it said might only affect newly opened windows [03:27] so some still have big fonts, but the system window i reopened and those fonts are correct now! [03:28] I had a hunch. Usually the more specific you try to be over VGA, the more of a disaster it results in. [03:28] Good to know [03:28] logging out and back in will probably fix the rest [03:28] we'll i'm downloading LinuxMCE on this box right now so i'll wait for that [03:28] and by this box I mean the one that will be the core [03:29] not the one i'm chatting on [03:29] Death to VGA, VGA boo!! bad VGA [03:29] (bad!) [03:30] none of my systems have used VGA since I went to LCD/LED displays [03:30] I tried it out once and it led to some less than optimal results [03:32] it's hard to get people away from 1980s technology when it comes packed with every monitor and it's the only "monitor cable" that Walmart sells [03:32] by the time people are pried off of it, the world will have moved away from DVI anyway, and onto HDMI or DisplayPort [03:38] is asking about KDE apps as they relate to being run under Unity offtopic?

[05:18] Exelente!! grax!! === root is now known as Guest16093 === Orcris_ is now known as Orcris [06:23] I am confused about Activities and Desktops. Some of the websites do not really explain it that well. Is there an in depth manual for how to order activities and desktops? [06:29] Axel-88: Order them? [06:30] sorry, i meant organize them. [06:31] Axel-88: Activites don't really need organizing [06:31] Desktops are organized with the pager settings [06:36] I dont know how to ask the question. I am fairly new to using Linux full time. I wanted to set my computer up so that it is divided between college classes, and everything else. I wanted to subdivide the classes into their own screens each independent. I keep stumbling with the desktops not being configurable so that each menu bar is different. [06:39] Axel-88: Ok tell me what you understand and I'll help you from there [06:40] Right now, for example-- I have set up four desktops under an Activity named Schooling. I want to set one desktop up with a normal menu bar. The other desktop without a menu bar but having some plasma widgets that launch some of the art programs. [06:42] The meny bar seems to respond to all four desktops, instead of just the one. I dont want it on another desktop, and the applications that are up on the first desktop, i dont want viewable while in the others. Does that make sense? [06:42] Axel-88: you right clicked the pager and under virtual desktop clicked different widgets for each desktop ? [06:43] Sorry Right click Pager -> pager settings -> Virtual Desktops -> different widgets for each desktop [06:43] Though I honestly don't know if that works for the panel :) [06:44] I found it. Yes, it is clicked. [06:45] I like the ability to split things up into activities. [06:46] I know that would work with multiple activites :-/ I've not tried that kind of Activity /Desktop / Activity nesting yet [06:46] Axel-88: By menu bar I guess you mean taskbar on the panel? [06:48] I think the term is Panel. The bar that goes across the bottom of the screen. [06:48] If i delete it in one desktop, it disappears in the other 3. [06:48] Right thats the panel [06:49] Yeah I think thats the general thing that happens now. [06:49] They may have a hidden config that stops that but I honestly haven't looked at that since KDE 4.2 [06:49] Is there a switch somewhere that changes the panel? [06:49] I'd say ask in #plasma but they are all asleep (or just waking up) now [06:50] What do you mean changes the panel? [06:51] I was thinking of using one of the desktops as an artboard/brainstorming-board with just a picture and some widgets on it but no panel. [06:52] I found the switch that lets the Task Manager only report on what is open on each desktop. :) [06:53] Does anyone know of softare that would enable me to download mp3 files? [06:55] I'd like to download some of these files to my mp3 player so I could listen to them away from my pc: http://www.archive.org/details/otr_cbsradiomysterytheater [06:57] Axel-88: Is that good enough? [06:57] that's what I do myself :) [06:57] Though I do hide the panel [06:57] rosco_y: any web browser, right click, save. Or wget with the right command for all of them [06:57] rosco_y: try kget [06:58] Yes, Thank you DasKreech. You were very helpful. [06:59] rosco_y: after you download them on your PC, most mp3 Players are seen as normal thumb drives so you should see it in Dolphin(the file manager) [07:01] Lynoure, stranger_ -- thank you. I tried right-clicking, the "save as" option isn't available for some reason (I was using chrome....I'll try with mozilla once.) [07:01] I take it back...I just didn't understand the "save link as" option [07:02] Thank you very much :) [07:02] :) === david is now known as Guest42747 === Guest42747 is now known as dRounse [08:06] somebody help me...

[08:14] jonah: ntfsclone : ) [08:14] ubuntu: hang in there. i've had so many problems over the years and someone in hear has always helped in the end. you just gotta keep asking and checking back when different people are online [08:15] ubuntu: sorry i don't know how to use windows [08:15] i`m in linux tooo [08:15] jonah; i`m in linux too [08:16] ubuntu: good for you. you'd be best ditching windows 7 completely really. it always just leads to trouble and problems from what i've heard... [08:17] jonah; the only problem with linux are the games : ) [08:18] ubuntu: yeah they do suck - i don't think we have many gamers in the linux world so if good ones were released there wouldn't be enough sales [08:18] sun tsu; can you help me?

[08:43] I`m trying to back-up files from a partition to another partition, with ntfsclone, in my personal computer [08:44] lynoure; can you understand me? [08:44] amparanoid: yes, though I've never used ntfsclone myself. [08:45] hum... [08:45] actually, apt-cache search ntfsclone shows nothing... [08:45] i'm using a live cd of kunbutu [08:46] ah [08:46] go on. [08:47] ok ok, i'll read the manual of ntfsclone again... [08:47] amparanoid: I mean, what is the problem... you are trying to, but? [08:48] I have bad sectors problem with a extended partition of win 7 [08:48] i checked all partitions with kunbutu`s partition manager [08:49] and, the software 'told' that I can rescue my data with ntfsclone [08:50] amparanoid: so far sounds sensible [08:50] but, i`m trying to make this comand: sudo ntfsclone -o /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 [08:51] amparanoid: If you have bad sectors in your disk, I'd recommend backing up to some other disk than that same one. Just in case. [08:52] i`m not in this case ? ) [08:52] it's 3:00 am here, there's no shops openend rsrs [08:53] i wanna learn to use this comand, it's a opportunity [08:54] amparanoid: the command looks fine, but of course I don't know what your partitions are [08:54] amparanoid: so what happens? [08:55] amparanoid: copying to the same disk, in the worst case, will just make things worse. (some disk problems get worse with disk use) And it's going to be slow. But, I get your point too. [08:55] the console returns? output device is too small to fit the NTFS image... [08:55] amparanoid: probably your destination partition is too small then. [08:55] amparanoid: what are the sizes? [08:56] sda5 == 70gb and sda6 == 300gb [08:57] in my point of view, the destination is bigger than source [08:57] amparanoid: but in this command sda5 is the destination [08:58] serious? destinations cames FIRST??? [08:58] amparanoid: check the man file... [08:58] Clone NTFS on /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdc1: [08:58] ntfsclone --overwrite /dev/hdc1 /dev/hda1 [08:59] amparanoid: but I'd still seriously recommend going to sleep, getting a new disk tomorrow and only copying there [09:00] rsrsr [09:00] disks are very expensive in my country rsrsr [09:00] amparanoid: it would majorly suck if your disk gave up the ghost in a middle of a disk copy [09:00] but i`ve took your point [09:01] hahahahah [09:01] ok, change the command sounds funny [09:01] i`ll try === ocs is now known as faLUCE [09:03] Lynoure; I had some progress here...

[16:36] when i add the facebook widget, the entire plasma stuff crashes! [16:36] `korvin, aptitude is ok as a cli package manager , but apt-get is more up to date, and handles package dependencies more precisely [16:37] <`korvin> I meant apt-get [16:37] <`korvin> =/ [16:38] actually, aptitude is more useful for working yourself out of jams since it proposes possible solutions instead of saying "package needs blah, but won't be installed" [16:38] designbybeck, what is meant by "public access" pw-less logins ? [16:38] indeed [16:39] but, aptitude is not for a novice user since the solutions it proposes could end up breaking the system [16:39] ah yes a pw-less login [16:39] (which is probably why it was removed from Ubuntu by default to begin with) [16:39] BluesKaj: the idea is to have anyone be able to walk up and use the computer and software without a username/password [16:40] DaemonFC: stop making this ups [16:40] the solutions it propose do not break your system [16:41] designbybeck, you are aware of the security implications of such a setup, right? [16:41] can i change my muon package manager to ubuntu software centre package manager..?? [16:41] designbybeck, then why not setup autologin in systemsettings>login screen>convenience tab> and set the autologin there [16:41] nope, How so EvilResistance? if they aren't in a admin user group [16:41] DaemonFC: I've warned you about making things up, if you have an issue and something to back that up, it's fine to discuss, if you want ot make things up and rant about it, it will not be tollerated - clear [16:41] they can break your system if the proposed solutions want to remove certain packages [16:41] DaemonFC: no [16:42] DaemonFC: there are dependency checks [16:42] and this is the case often enough that people who don't know what they are doing should leave it alone [16:42] I haven't seen that yet BluesKaj I will check [16:42] it assigns each solution a score [16:42] DaemonFC, i'm in agreement iwth ikonia [16:42] DaemonFC: no [16:42] DaemonFC: stop [16:42] well, then you've never actually had it do that then [16:42] good for you [16:42] DaemonFC: I've not had it do that, because it doesn't do that [16:42] it can and it does [16:42] DaemonFC: discussion is great, but please stop just saying things so you can have a rant [16:42] DaemonFC: please show me a bug logged for that [16:43] I've seen it do that for years in both Debian and Ubuntu [16:43] can you two stop bickering? [16:43] DaemonFC: please show me a bug logged for that [16:43] i know i'm not an op, but watching two people bicker isnt fun [16:43] so I have a feeling it's meant for people who know what they are doing with it and will tell it to move on to the next proposal or exit if it doesn't offer any solutions that don't break things [16:43] designbybeck, but you must put safeguards in so that only admin group users can make changes to apss etc , but I'm not real familar with that aspect of the user/group permissions [16:44] DaemonFC: show me a bug logged for the issue you are complaining about [16:44] if it has been going on this long, I don't think it is a bug [16:44] DaemonFC: ok - so stop making things up [16:44] <`Korvin> Hey, that fixed my issue with xchat, not I still have the issue with mysql server [16:44] <`Korvin> it's not installing [16:45] I'm not [16:45] Can i change my muon package manager to ubuntu software centre package manager..???? [16:45] when there's an unworkable dependency, aptitude will try to brute force its way around it, even if it means yanking out other packages in the dependency chain somewhere that are vital to the system [16:45] DaemonFC: if a package manager had a issue that broke your system due to not being able to handle dependencies properly on correclty formatted packages, do you not think at least one bug would be logged ? [16:45] <`Korvin> my mysql failed during installation, not everytime I try to install something it trys to install mysql-server which fails [16:46] EvilResistance: what besides changing the public users access groups could I do to improve security? [16:46] usually what it means is that someone who is maintaining a repository you have software from has screwed something up [16:46] I had it offer to remove Amarok the other day so it could upgrade amarok-common [16:47] DaemonFC: ok - so the problem would be a package is not built correclty or has the dependencies not correctly assigned [16:47] it does all kinds of stupid things, that just wouldn't have been fatal [16:47] designbybeck, i'd start by having something routinely purge any user information and restore from a base setup. rather than just have a perpetual storage of random users' information [16:47] apt would just say there are broken packages in that case [16:47] ah, is this what the guest user in Ubuntu is? [16:47] aptitude would ask you to remove like maybe hundreds of things [16:48] designbybeck, i disable the guest user in Ubuntu on my system [16:48] i had tried a Ubuntu setup when i first started this project, and it seemed like the guest users info got cleared out after logoff EvilResistance [16:48] of course that's not something you want a user running into if they don't know what to tell it [16:48] DaemonFC: I suggest you log a bug against this then [16:48] DaemonFC: see if you get it noticed and maybe even resolved [16:48] designbybeck, indeed, thats basically what it is [16:48] DaemonFC, ikonia , lets not flame each other here , we're trying help and I'm sure this discussion is confusing for those needing help [16:48] designbybeck, they have access to the software, but no saved data perpetually [16:48] everytime I say anything it gets ikonia going [16:48] the sky is blue [16:48] BluesKaj, i know, right? i'm about to call !ops on this [16:49] EvilResistance, ikonia is an op [16:49] i know [16:49] <`Korvin> I run sudo apt-get install aptitude, it installs then I get Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.58-1ubuntu1) ... [16:49] <`Korvin> status: Unknown job: mysql [16:49] thats what makes it worse [16:49] EvilResistance: it's discussing a problem and the reasons behind it [16:49] because an op is bickering with someone... and should know better [16:49] ikonia, i dont see it as such [16:49] ikonia, at times its gone into the range of bickering [16:49] EvilResistance: that's unfortunate [16:50] i'm sure that since BluesKaj has seen fit to point out its turning into a flame fest, that i'm nto the only one with this opinion [16:50] `Korvin, try sudo dpkg --configure -a , it might get rid of the nagging mysql install [16:50] EvilResistance: I'm not questioning your opinion [16:51] <`Korvin> BluesKaj, [16:51] <`Korvin> ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:51] <`Korvin> Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.58-1ubuntu1) ...

[16:59] <`Korvin> on further examination, that's just because the server isn't running [16:59] <`Korvin> EvilResistance, that's what's failing to install [17:00] `Korvin, did apt-get say *why*? [17:00] <`Korvin> why it failed? [17:00] <`Korvin> not that I know of [17:00] <`Korvin> just how it failed [17:01] <`Korvin> try to install it again, just status unknown job mysql [17:01] `Korvin: I'l be with you asap, I'm juggling too much [17:03] <`Korvin> heres an error message [17:03] <`Korvin> let me pastebin [17:04] <`Korvin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/854237/ [17:04] <`Korvin> brb [17:08] EvilResistance: is there a quick easy way to "setup" such a state for the computer? So it resets all the public users info? or discards it. There will be instructions that say thye must backup their work and take with them, beucase notthing ill be saved [17:09] unfortunately i dont know how that'd be set up, but it'd be similar to the Ubuntu 'guest' account [17:10] well our IT will want to look at this setup i'm sure, even though they aren't controlling it, so I just wanted to have something to show them. I'll just let them know how the public account is not in an admin group and such [17:10] root group [17:26] `Korvin, one more thing to try , sudo dpkg --clear-avail , then update and upgrade [17:29] <`Korvin> meh [17:29] <`Korvin> tried installing a deb file, the installation hung where it tried to pull the mysql info [17:29] <`Korvin> not sure how to stop that process [17:30] <`Korvin> says the database is locked [17:32] you have broken dependencies blocking the dkg install process , you can try looking at the dependencies and removing them individually , it can be time consuming , but it works , sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends nameofpackage(s) [17:34] `Korvin, , I recall having remove several broken depends when Libreoffice failed to install properly and was blocking dpkg [17:37] `Korvin, did you run sudo dpkg --clear-avail as I suggested above ? [17:37] BluesKaj: Why not suggest "sudo apt-get -f install"? [17:38] <`Korvin> yes [17:38] <`Korvin> dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process [17:38] <`Korvin> break time [17:38] <`Korvin> brb [17:40] DarthFrog, we did that already , still locked [17:40] Sounds like he might have a lockfile left behind after a program (dpkg) crashed. [17:42] DarthFrog, yup ,broken dependencies [17:43] `Korvin, this might be worth a try too , sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [17:48] <`Korvin> BluesKaj, still says it's locked [17:49] did you try removing msql ? i have to ask [17:49] mysql [17:50] <`Korvin> ye [17:50] <`Korvin> yes [17:50] or sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql [17:50] <`Korvin> not that [17:50] <`Korvin> one sec [17:50] <`Korvin> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql [17:50] <`Korvin> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [17:50] <`Korvin> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [17:51] <`Korvin> is there any way to override that? [17:51] <`Korvin> will rebooting help? [17:51] <`Korvin> etc. [17:51] sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock [17:51] <`Korvin> didn't work [17:51] <`Korvin> no ouput [17:52] no output doesn't mean it didn't work necessarily [17:52] <`Korvin> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) does [17:52] damn' [17:53] so maybe a reboot , but don't think that will help [17:54] <`Korvin> alright [17:54] <`Korvin> bbs [17:55] Hello, I've got a problem installing kdenlive. Packaging seems broken so I use this buildscript http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts#Kdenlive [17:55] It works fine but I can't get it in french [17:56] Kde language settings is set to french, for country and prefered language [17:56] But when I start kdenlive, the language is American English. [17:58] There isn't any other language in the help menu -> switch application language [17:58] Does anyone have knows how to fix this ? [18:02] <`Korvin> BluesKaj, [18:02] <`Korvin> looks like restart might have solved everything [18:02] <`Korvin> xD [18:05] <`Korvin> yep [18:05] <`Korvin> installed fine [18:06] <`Korvin> thanks for telling me to restart =p === Raisen is now known as R4isen === Raisen is now known as R4isen === R4isen is now known as Raisen === Raisen is now known as R4isen === R4isen is now known as qwerasdf === sony is now known as Guest60722 === Raisen is now known as R4isen === R4isen is now known as qwe === qwe is now known as R4isen === nathaniel is now known as Guest61910 === nathaniel_ is now known as Guest43424 [19:21] hello [19:22] hello [19:23] I have a technical help question. I am running kubuntu thru virtualbox. my kpackagekit insists on uninstalling random things i have installed whenevr i try to install new packages [19:23] does anyone know what this is? [19:24] like it has happened 20 times and i have a 30 gig HD (virtual disk image, vdi file, dynamically allocated) === brian is now known as Guest10631 [19:24] nethanielfirst: random things? you are sure they are not conflicts? [19:25] hmmm. how often do things recommended by kpackagekit, community supported, truly conflict with each other? [19:26] cause this did happen a lot, and i think, i tried both 10.10 and 11.4 version of kubuntu, seems it would have worked [19:28] hi all [19:28] what is Qt in kded4 --version? [19:32] whate version are you running [19:32] 12.04 or 11.10 [19:36] nope, it's about kde version then. I just downloaded kde 4.8 from ppa. So it needs a reboot to run then, correct? [19:38] yes [19:38] wohooo. thanks [19:39] also after you install the ppa did you run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:39] ? [19:48] sure i did [19:50] excognac: cool [19:51] jcook_5xdata: have you tried 12.04 already? [19:51] I have a ? for some one in the new 12.04 does anyne know a way to have Im pop a windows instead of the notification. [19:51] excognac: yup [19:51] excognac: running it now [19:52] hi [19:52] can anyone help with changing desktop theme in lucid lynx? i'm a total nob [19:52] excognac: not bad stable enuff for everyday use [19:53] ? [19:53] jcook_5xdata: How stable it is? Especially officewise? I've just reinstalled the whole sys, previously I had a lot of problem with simply running openoffice [19:53] do ou know where the themes are [19:54] toshiba: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-10-04-Desktop-Customization-Guide-146134.shtml [19:55] excognac: I am IT and I use it as my main desktop. Libraoffice does have bug (has been reported), but it only affects me when close it [19:56] that for Gnome it will not work [19:57] toshiba: there this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bRMx7uLRhk [19:57] jcook_5xdata: Ok, cos with 11.10 i have a lot of concerns: it simply closes itself while various type of files (e.g an odt and an ods) are opened, without saving. I talk about tiny files, less than 1 Mb each [19:59] excognac: do you have open java installed? I had that problem because java was not installed [19:59] excognac: install it and fixed the problem [19:59] jcook_5xdata: lemme check, this is fresh and crispy install [20:00] I guess is no [20:00] brbr [20:04] not sure how to find that out excognac [20:04] jcook_5xdata: ok. when you'll be back, just make sure: is that OpenJDK, right? [20:04] sorry [20:05] i am trying trying to figure out how to rip a dvd with k3D [20:05] designbybeck: to find out what?

I see the option, but after you click it, it keeps asking about burning [20:08] designbybeck: yes. open it, Tools, and you should find it there [20:08]
