=== ubuntu is now known as _Raider_ === _Raider_ is now known as _Night_Raider_ [00:22] can anyone help with a problem mounting SSD _ [00:27] knon: what's the problem? [00:27] Thank you for answering [00:28] I got files on SD , I can mount no problem but as soon as i copy or do anything to the files the SD goes offline - running Mint Blue [00:29] knon: you can cd to the directory and ls the gilee? [00:31] yes [00:31] I can see all the files until i try to open any of them [00:32] i suspect a problem with partion header - is a fat32 [00:34] Hello [00:34] can someone give me a hand? [00:34] I did a fresh install of kubuntu 11.10 and my apt sources are broke out of the gate [00:35] knon: did you run a chkdsk against it? [00:35] abmoraz: what would you like? [00:35] i did it did not work [00:36] I've tried switching them and everyone gives me a "Hash Sum invalid" [00:36] or something of that nature [00:36] one second, I will paste the error [00:37] i tried partition magic too [00:37] hash sum mismatch? [00:38] yes, that [00:38] just got that one [00:38] hash sum mismatch [00:38] I get it no matter what repository I choos [00:38] knon: the chkdsk failed? [00:38] *choose [00:38] yes [00:39] I have tried using apt-get -f and --fix-missing [00:39] neither work [00:39] knon: possibly the disk is corrupted? hve you tried testdisk on it? [00:39] I have removed the partial debs [00:39] no avail [00:39] chkdsk is win right ? [00:40] abmoraz, removed the folder? [00:40] bazhang: what have you tried so far? [00:41] knon: yes [00:41] testdisk is linux [00:41] knon, perhaps he meant fsck [00:41] i think this partition is gone but if I can see the files i should be somehow able to get them off the medium ... [00:41] i tried testdisk [00:41] no, just the broken debs and sources in each respective partial folder (/var/cache/apt/archive/partial/ and /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/) [00:41] it's a fat32 disk. I meant chkdsk though at this point it doesn't make a difference [00:41] abmoraz, how did you delete those [00:42] that's going to be the issue if it's a partition error. if the chipset is messed up though then it maybe that youc an't remove anything from the drive without bypassing the firmware [00:42] bazhang: sudo rm /var/apt/cache/archive/partial/* [00:43] abmoraz, and the subsequent apt-get update had the same issue? [00:43] I've been pulling my hair out over this issue for 2 days now. I have re-installed 5 times and still get the same error every time [00:43] bazhang: yes [00:44] I am running kubuntu 11.10 amd 64 [00:44] removing the ones from /var/lib/apt/partial fixed it here [00:44] ok, I will try that [00:44] let me just double check it still is ok [00:44] I was removing the partial debs (According to some forum posts) [00:44] I will try the partial lists [00:45] what firmware? [00:45] on the SSD [00:45] lets' go with good thoughts and presume it's a software configuration error [00:46] no firmware on there as i formatted the whole thing [00:46] hard drives noawadays are so propietary that if somethign goes wrong your data is screwed without an electron microscope [00:46] bazhang: ok, no errors on update [00:47] knon: Your firmware would survive the formatting. It is what would do the formatting [00:47] bazhang: but errors on the upgrade [00:48] bazhang: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/smbclient_3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [00:48] abmoraz, yep, it's back here after being fixed momentarily. will have to check launchpad for the specific bug and comments for possible workarounds [00:48] sorry i meant to say SD no SSD [00:49] bazhang: what is launchpad? [00:49] it is just a little chip as used in cameras and phones [00:49] abmoraz, where the bugs are noted and addressed [00:49] knon: are you trying to mount an SD chip to your linux? [00:49] !bugs [00:49] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [00:50] yes [00:50] via usb of course [00:50] I had an issue with that at work last week. I had to use a different USB mount for it. [00:51] I got a 32GB SD chip, but my old USB SD adapter wouldn't handle it [00:51] 32gb it is [00:51] it would mount my old 2GB SD chip fine. I borrowed a co-worker's USB adapter and it worked fine with my 32GB SD chip [00:52] tried 3 so far [00:52] will explore this as you may be right although 1 of them came with the chip [00:53] it may not be the same issue, then [00:53] I would assume that the one that game witht he ship would work [00:53] *came with the chip [00:53] thing is the whole set-up worked initially and then stopped working [00:53] afk a few minutes to switch laundry [00:54] abmoraz: it mounted but then unmounted when you looked at the files? [00:55] http://askubuntu.com/questions/82747/update-manager-not-working abmoraz this one, correct? [00:55] yes that happens now but before i could save to the device and read/write everything [01:01] bazhang: yes [01:01] bazhang: wait, no [01:02] bazhang: same final error, but the start of the error is different [01:02] knon: when did this start? [01:02] bazhang: I am not seeing signature errors [01:02] so my hash sum mismatch errors are gone, and now I got that. wunderbar [01:03] 2 days [01:03] started while saving to the device - was not even full [01:04] knon: who makes the device ? [01:04] anyway i will keep searching for solutions - should have backed up of course [01:04] sandisk [01:05] knon: does it support SMART ? [01:05] no [01:05] might want to run smartmontools on it if it does [01:06] if not then look on sandisk's site if they have an integrity tool [01:06] Disks do fail [01:06] ok [01:06] it is the partition header i am certain [01:07] here is the error I get when running "sudo apt-get update" [01:07] Get:31 http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric-updates/universe amd64 Packages [97.4 kB] [01:07] 99% [23 Packages bzip2 0 B] [31 Packages 1,533 B/97.4 kB 1%] 584 kB/s 0s [01:07] bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.

[01:08] knon: testdisk should be able to list the files and pull them then [01:09] it failed sadly [01:11] abmoraz, well it seems I fixed the hash sum mismatch by deleting the partial folder [01:11] once the sd goes offline I have to reinsert it and it mounts again [01:12] bazhang: try and do an "apt-get upgrade" and see if it really fixed [01:12] then switching servers on the subsequent update got rid of the linked one abovce [01:12] update and upgrade yep [01:13] must go cheers everyone [01:13] which server did you witch to?

[02:47] question, does kubuntu 32bit support 8GB ram? [02:56] Question: last night I noticed a large number of changes that made it to the kubuntu-ppa/beta repository. When I applied them, I found that I could no longer log in to my system - after it accepted the password nothing much happened. I removed the beta repository from my list and purged all the packages and it fixed the situation. [02:57] I noticed in my .xsession-errors what seems to be a problem in nepomuk or Soprano [02:57] Anyway, I now see what seems to be a similar set of packages appearing, I think in the backports repository [02:58] Anyone know what these are? [02:58] mgolden: Are you working with the next version of Kubuntu? You should probably be in #kubuntu+1 [02:59] Ah, ok [02:59] np mgolden [02:59] I am still running 11.10 not 12.04 [02:59] but I do have the 4.8 KDE installed [02:59] Should I go there? [03:08] mgolden: its a bug, i see it too [03:28] almoxarife: And if I apply the recent update from backports it'll break my machine? [03:29] mgolden: i doubt it, i apply every update that comes along, do you mean the updates i am seeing avail right now? [03:30] Yes, they look just like the updates in the beta repository that I applied yesterday, and then I couldn't log in [03:30] I took the beta repository out and purged all the packages. [03:30] mgolden: but i will tell you in a sec as i am about to install them [03:31] OK [03:31] brb [03:31] OTOH, if you can't log in you won't be able to reply! [03:31] :) [03:31] mgolden: wth, its just another issue to resolve :) [03:33] if it all crashes i have the install iso for 12.04 kubuntu [03:33] almoxarife: good luck! [03:33] mgolden: installing right now [03:34] almoxarife: logging out and re-logging in should be sufficient to see it; [03:34] mgolden: got you [03:36] almoxarife: actually, now that I think of it, I think I restarted X as well [03:36] mgolden: a nice cold boot should prove or disprove [03:36] almoxarife: yes [03:37] mgolden: is there suppose to be a work around? [03:37] almoxarife: I came here to find out! [03:38] almoxarife: IOW, no idea [03:38] mgolden: stick around then, the install is about complete [03:38] almoxarife: glued to the scrren [03:39] mgolden: going to log out/in brb [03:41] still here [03:43] mgolden: no issues found [03:43] almoxarife: so the kubuntu-backports one is okay, but kubuntu-beta isn't? [03:43] mgolden: i have both ppa's, which updated? [03:44] que tal [03:44] nada [03:44] hola hola [03:44] :D [03:44] almoxarife: last night it was beta, but now I guess it looks like backports [03:44] creo que ando un poco perdido [03:44] D: [03:45] sim, fala engles [03:45] ah pero hay que hablar ingles ? [03:45] mgolden: i am guessing its safe [03:45] Good to know, I'll try it tomorrow [03:45] yeap pazhitox, english [03:46] almoxarife: too much to do tonight [03:46] almoxarife: thanks, BTW [03:46] almoxarife: do you know where we should be reporting this problem that we saw on the beta channel? [03:46] almoxarife: I don't even know what application/package caused it [03:46] Pero soy de chile solo hablo español :'( [03:47] mgolden: the soprano error ? [03:47] almoxarife: Well, the problem logging in [03:47] almoxarife: I don't know if it was the Soprano error that was causing it [03:47] almoxarife: It was just what I saw in the .xsession-errors [03:48] mgolden: i cant duplicate the login error, the soprano error is something i see being googled and no fix found [03:49] almoxarife: So you never saw the login problem, just the soprano problem? [03:49] mgolden: correct [03:49] almoxarife: makes me nervous [03:49] almoxarife: I suppose I'll just have to try it [03:50] ALMOXARIFE: Como me voy a una sala de chat que hablen español? [03:50] mgolden: the soprano error is easy enough to correct in user session, kill the kactivitiesd [03:50] pazhitox: que problema tiene? (Hablo poco) [03:51] pazhitox: aki se ninguen tiene problema [03:51] almoxarife: What was its symptom for you [03:51] how I'm going to a chat room to speak Spanish? [03:51] mgolden: none, i just noticed the xsessions log indicating the error every 5 sec [03:52] !sp | pazhitox [03:52] !es [03:52] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[03:52] thank you very much :) [03:53] mgolden: my not seeing symptoms may have to do with the fat-free settings i use [03:55] almoxarife: Those being? [03:55] almoxarife: I am just using the defaults [03:55] almoxarife: I suspect, from what you say, that the login problem has nothing to do with the Soprano issue [03:56] mgolden: i would agree [03:58] almoxarife: sux [03:58] almoxarife: you know any way to debug the failure of KDE to start? [03:58] mgolden: what happens at login? [03:59] almoxarife: the login box disappears [03:59] almoxarife: and then nothing [03:59] black screen? [03:59] almoxarife: no, it stays blue [03:59] almoxarife: just no rectangle with the startup stuff in it [04:00] almoxarife: when I switch to a terminal to look at things, and then switch back, then it's black [04:00] mgolden: try uninstall kdm and re-install? [04:00] almoxarife: good idea [04:00] almoxarife: what I did try was creating a new user [04:01] almoxarife: with no profile [04:01] mgolden: or install lightdm just to see [04:01] almoxarife: tried loggin in as him, same result [04:01] mgolden: purge kdm and install fresh [04:01] almoxarife: you know where this stuff is logged? [04:02] mgolden: in syslog and kern.log [04:02] mgolden: perhaps also xorg.0.log [04:02] almoxarife: saw nothing much in syslog, didn't think about kern [04:03] almoxarife: you think it would be an xorg thing?

Is that going to effect future releases in a negative way? Personally I don't think so. [06:08] Linuxephus: Ubuntu isn't dropping any support (: [06:14] Ubuntu isn't dropping support for Kubuntu or KDE in general as per an article published on Zdnet last week? [06:16] Linuxephus: Canonical is dropping paid support for Kubuntu. JRiddell will not be working on it during his job hours. Other than that no change [06:16] Linuxephus: Unless you have a support contract for Kubuntu, you probably won't notice [06:19] mgolden: That's right. I just went back over the article in question. I had a few of my details mixed up. Good news mixed up aforehand. [06:20] Linuxephus: Partly the confusion was brought about by Riddell's somewhat philosopical post announcing the change. Non-careful readers may have thought that there was some possibility of Kubuntu going away [06:22] Exactly. All in all though, it's good to know that it's not a complete negative situation for Kubuntu in those regards. [06:26] This "auto nickname" completion with-out tabbing it is beginning to be a painfull annoyance.

[10:46] I reboot [10:46] thx for your help [11:26] why does the kubuntu live session do a better job in detecting screen configuration than an installed kubuntu? on the live cd, I just started it and all the monitors had perfectly native resolution, I had to rearrange them which was okay, but otherwise it worked fine. on the installed, I mostly end up with one monitor being disabled or me not able to wake that monitor up from standby, sometimes it's one monitor, sometimes both [11:26] stay offline … [11:29] I believe that the live cd is using vesa drivers [11:30] and linux support from hw manufacturers suck in large part. [11:30] however if you want to take advantage of the capabilities of the card [11:30] you have to use their driver/config tools [11:31] vesa drivers work on almost anything [11:31] but are very limited. WOuldnt wanna watch video on em prob. [11:32] L3top: well the vesa drivers are the basic 2d only stuff? [11:32] but it was composited, even wobbly windows worked [11:35] I find that confusing [11:35] oh wait [11:35] Im still thinking xorg stuff. [11:36] I use the radeon drivers here and they work quite well, I can play all my favorite games in maximum settings but … that it just doesnt remember the monitor config properly sucks [11:36] ati linux stuff is a pain. [11:36] I come from nvidia and it isnt better either [11:36] I would argue that. [11:37] the nouveau driver just doesnt work on my machine [11:37] it crashes reproducibly once there is more than one monitor attached [11:37] oh gosh no... nouveau is not awesome. [11:37] but the glx stuff is quite nice [11:37] accelleration vdpau... [11:38] problem with the open source drivers is their automatic monitor detection [11:38] and this sucks and screws upt he config everytime you restart the machine [11:38] because … well … it's not in a config file but generated on startup [11:38] funny that Plymouth (the start screen) does a perfect job in finding the correct resolution while X just messes it all up [11:38] you can get around that [11:38] creating an xorg [11:38] it will default to that. [11:39] We use proprietary drivers because of the media heavy stuff we do. [11:40] and ati is going to put me in an early grave [11:40] lol [11:40] I also used the proprietary nvidia driver because nouveau was not usable [11:40] but now I am not going to install a proprietary driver again [11:41] because they also suck [11:41] well all sucks [11:41] that's sad [11:41] kbroulik: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:41] well... again... the nvidia stuff plays much nicer. [11:42] nouveau crashed frequently, nvidia-current is slow as hell … fglrx ruins the entire system, radeon works perfectly except for that screen detection thingie [11:42] I am jealous on my mom's computer … she just has an Intel onboard, and I never had problems with it [11:42] what nvidia card are you using? [11:42] I was using a Geforce 250 GTS [11:42] shouldnt use current [11:43] huh? [11:43] nvidia-glx-290 [11:43] er... [11:43] whatever, I just installed nvidia-current and that's all ^^ [11:43] 260 [11:44] current is the 295 [11:44] okay … [11:44] 260 is much better and the opposite of slow [11:44] I dont care … I dont have that card in my machine anymore :D Now I got a Sapphire Radeon HD6870 [11:44] for that card [11:45] I would think that fglrx would be the direction for that one [11:45] a much better driver, but... finicky [11:45] fglrx left me with an unbootable system [11:45] you are running multiple monitors? [11:45] fglrx is just causing trouble … both on my computer and my notebook [11:45] yes [11:45] our project wouldn't suit you. [11:45] I have three monitors [11:46] one attached on DP, the other two on DVI [11:47] I have to write all of the autodetection/driver install stuff... and as I said...

[16:42] which driver is it recommending ...try some alternatives if there are any listed [16:44] I've tried all. None of them worked [16:45] did you reboot in between driver installs ?

Now I am trying to follow the debugging manual [16:51] wel, that's a start ...sounds like a drive rissue to me ...wonder about dell linx support , is there any? [16:52] it prints the test page ? then make sure you click "ok" after it prints , not before .that "sets" the print settings [16:52] yes, they shipped the printer with a cd with install.sh on it. Either I ran it from the disk or HDD with chmod +x, it always has logged me off from kubuntu [16:53] and the dell software never worked [16:54] same if i download it from their webpage [16:54] hey guys [16:54] i have a little problem [16:55] excognac, , well dunno how to help otherwise [16:55] my cpu is on 100% cause virtuoso -t use 90%/ [16:55] it s a bug?

' [17:26] i dont need it [17:27] and unless you need kmail , do the same for akonadi [17:27] excognac: nepomuk does the things that windows search and spotlight do, ie makes things like emails easily searchable [17:27] ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports added, and it istalled [17:27] i think [17:27] BluesKaj thanks a lot! [17:28] cos I also had for some reason but now eliminated:)7 [17:28] if want to search files and not ahve a cpu hog daemon , install krusader [17:29] Hi :) Does anyone know what to do if kmail loses all your emails? for some reason, my kmail is starting up blank, despite me having two accounts registered with it :( Also, whenever I click on "mail" in Kontact,it opens kmail in a separaet window, which is also blank. Very strange behaviour! [17:30] jcgs, is akonadi running ? [17:31] kmaul uses akonadi to search the db for emails , afaik [17:31] kamil [17:31] i give up ...kmail [17:31] BluesKaj: seems to be, it has plenty of processes open, and i can change settings and stuff [17:32] BluesKaj: might it have anything to do with the fact that I recently tried to change to "disconnected mode"? [17:33] sorry jcgs , my attempts to get kmail to work were fruitless ..I finally gave up after akonadi kept erroring with my ISP email settings [17:34] so my knowledge base about kmail is very scattered [17:34] oh dear :( i suspect it would be difficult to file a bug along the lines of "this program is fail" [17:34] I loved kmail in kde3 [17:36] @jcgs: Thunderbird has issues like this depending on the startup directory. If it autostarts, it has the wrong directory because it uses /etc/passwd. If I start it myself, it looks in the right directory because I set the starting directory. [17:41] BBL [18:01] jim_: do you know what the "right directory" is? kmail doesn't store its emails in a directory, it stores them in a database, so it shouldn't matter where i start it, surely? [18:04] jcgs: can you install akonadiconsole and see if the database is up fine? [18:07] yofel: it's installed, how do i check if the database is "up fine"? [18:09] jcgs: just go on db browser, and press refresh [18:09] does it show anything? [18:10] yofel: yeah, an incomprehensible table appeared :) is that ok? [18:10] yeah, meaning mysql works at least [18:10] jcgs: is your mail account shown on the agent tab? [18:11] kk, presumably all that means is that kmail / kontact is failing to talk to it properly [18:11] yofel: yeah, they both are [18:11] BluesKaj: I don't get stg: I just removed nepomuk search module from startup apps, set start with an empty session, and I have virtuoso-t, nepomukcontroller, four(!) nepomukservicestub and nepomukserver running. Why? [18:11] obviously after restart [18:12] jcgs: then I'm not really sure what's wrong... [18:12] kmail version? [18:13] i just opened it and it seems to be doing better :) [18:13] some folders have appeared :) [18:13] excognac, don't start with empty seession , then the defaults startup including nepomuk , set it to 'restore previous session" . after turning nepomuk etc off inthe service manager [18:13] yofel: 4.7.3 [18:13] why not 4.7.4? [18:14] BluesKaj: ouch ok, so I shouldn't have changed it [18:16] yofel: kde is version 4.7.4 kmail is version 4.7.3. i have a screenshot, but i presum it's running the latest version. i keep kubuntu updated regularly (i did updates this morning) [18:17] then I guess just the version number is wrong [18:17] wish there was a method runkmail kontact independently of alaonadi and the db ..the db is of no use to ppl like me who don't store thousands of emails [18:17] to run kmail [18:17] well, mails are stored in akonadi now, so without that, kmail is practically useless [18:18] BluesKaj: still have them [18:18] why isn't more like t-bird ..independent with it's own storage dir [18:18] yofel: http://imagebin.org/201078 [18:20] excognac, stiil have nepomuk ...like I said earleir , make sure you enter nepouk in the textbox in session managemet , "Applications to be excluded...." [18:21] I know this is going to be quite controversial, but i think (in principle at least) akonadi is quite a good idea. There are good reasons to separate the checking-and-storing-mails process from the looking-at-mails process (the e-mail client) and sharing the former between all the clients ought to engourage better development :) [18:21] That presumes of course that akonadi is actually well-implemented [18:23] jcgs, it's fine for office situations which need to maintain a large email database , but what use is it for home users like me who just want kmail to be optionally availble with links to an uneeded database [18:24] without links rather [18:25] it ought to allow faster and more efficient searching, and checking of e-mails in background while the e-mail client is closed, saving memory, and meaning that the email database is much more up to date. therefore it also ought to improve start-up times for clients, as they shouldn't need to do a manual email check every time [18:27] but obviously it depends how you use email as to which is more appropriate, searching and background checking may not be worth having [18:28] it does do mail fetching in the background when kmail is closed [18:28] just uses a lot more memory than before :( [18:28] jcgs, the lack of non-db and other options in kmail is my complaint [18:30] kmail is tied to some enterprise vision the canonical management has for kubuntu ...sad really [18:30] or had , I guess :) [18:32] my next peeve is the so called playlist setup in amarok ...that's a bloody mess too [18:32] BluesKaj: in a sense, a mailbox is by definition a database, however it's stored, so it makes sense to use a program that specializes in handling data, rather than re-inventing the wheel [18:32] jcgs, did you ever run kde3 ? [18:33] BluesKaj: Canonical doesn't drive either KDE or Kmail development. If you think that Kmail is tied to some management vision, well, that's the devs choice. [18:33] possibly, but probably not as my main os [18:34] kmail didn't use a mysql/akonadi db in kde3 ...so the devs actually did reinvent the wheel already, jcgs [18:35] Could you search e-mails from krunner? or sync them without kmail being open? [18:35] hi everyone, i install kde minimal on ubuntu and i want install french language, how pls [18:35] sorry my poor english [18:35] !fr|fakher [18:35] fakher: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [18:36] well DarthFrog they approved the inclusion and drastic changes to kmail in kde4 ..I don't find that any different in their vision [18:36] BluesKaj: Who is they? [18:36] canonical [18:37] fakher: what about running "sudo apt-get install language-pack-fr language-pack-kde-fr" in a terminal? [18:37] that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it :) [18:38] BluesKaj: Good for you. :-) But Canonical, via the Kubuntu boys, merely implemented what upstream developed. [18:39] BluesKaj: No worries :) I can well imagine that kmail in kde3 was better, since kmail in kde4 has a long way to go before mathcing something like outlook, or thunderbird [18:39] splitting hairs , DarthFrog ...the devs answer to management to use or not to use aspects of the desktop environment [18:40] jcgs, yes , afraid so [18:42] But my point was that i think there are good reasons for what has happened, and i personally quite like the idea, but that's not to say that everyone has to [18:42] BluesKaj: well, this was more a question of supportability, as upstream support for kmail1 is dead. And we didn't think it would be *this* bad. (The pre-release test were somewhat acceptable) [18:42] Canonical had nothing to do with this though [18:42] yofel, yeah sure [18:44] lets hope there's abetter independent email program developed for kde that doesn't need some clunky database gumming up the works [18:44] natve kde email app that is [18:45] nah, they're working on fixing kmail - more or less successfull [18:45] just try getting rid of akonadi and see what happens ,, it's bloody ridiculous [18:46] and I've already complained about it in kde and kubuntu-devel [18:46] well, I know. Not that I can do anything about it -.- [18:47] yeah it's really unfortunate , yofel :( [18:49] at least I think I've figured out why ktimetracker doesn't work [18:49] so some less breakage in kdepim [18:55] help? [18:55] savio [18:56] help? [18:56] anyone [18:56] RocknRolla, just ask you qestion [18:57] your [18:57] BluesKaj: which is suitable editor for web dev like dreamveaver in windows?

Can I prevent this from happening? [19:03] Personally, I've tried more than a few web editors and eventually just settled on hand coding in Kate editor instead.

I don't have that program installed, and I don't need it either. How can I fix that? [19:21] oqpo: You need to edit the default file associations and find the one that's trying to load rekonq (lightweight web browser) and change it to your preference. [19:23] Hi, bit of a n00b here.. can someone point me in the direction of installing the flash debug player in chrome and/or firefox? [19:24] TSK, I have search for that in System Settings, but the default program to is every time kate. And kate opens after I click ok in the error message. [19:27] Hello [19:28] boblu: I have never hear of a debug version of flash. But the normal flash package is adobe-flashplugin [19:30] oqpo: There are two places in System Settings that I've had affect which app tries to open a file. If it's not in one, then it's in the other. Check "System Settings > Default Applications" first, as it's simpler, but if it's not there, then it's somewhere in "System Settings > File Associations". Another way to solve the issue is to right click on one of the problem files in Dolphin, and select "Properties" from the context menu and then [19:30] click the little wrench button and edit which app opens in there.
