[00:09] muji8u, i think you'd need wine or something, unless WoW has a Linux version [00:09] there is no linux version i have wine, i got it to work, i jsut have fps issues [00:14] frogonwheels, that seems to copy the file to the local computer first [00:22] muji8u, i think you're not the only one there, i've seen other complaints about that too [00:22] i dont think there's much you can do about it though [00:22] well i think i know whats going on [00:23] its prob like an energy saving thing [00:23] i posted this on wow forums so im just copying/pasting instead of writing it again: well i switched to opengl, and it seems that when first it was at low, fps was at 30, made it go higher, and it dropped to like 20 but than it rose back to 30. happened all the way to high, prob like a energy saving thing thats part of the driver [00:29] how do u make shortcuts in kubuntu? [00:29] hi muji8u [00:30] hello ybit [00:30] you want a shortcut in the folder view?

I just logged out and now when I try and log back in, the system dies after kdm goes away. The blueish screen but thats it, no icons coming and going, no login. Any ideas on how to recover this? [04:25] that should have been 12.04 naturally [04:30] kde has a failsafe login as well i think. you might try that. [04:32] question is every body having problems with the new kubuntu [04:34] im running 11.10 with 4.8.1. id say its the most stable 4.x release so far. [04:34] I tried failsafe but screen pops then back to kdm [04:39] you might get something useful with cat ~/.xsession-errors [04:39] .xsession-errors has lots of soprano errors in it, could that be it? [04:40] i got those too [04:41] ok.. thats about all there is in there. [04:41] i would rename ~./kde and see if you boot. [04:41] tried that, and .kderc no change [04:41] ~/.kde [04:42] what do you get from dmesg when it hangs [04:45] no errors. Im wondering if its an X thing. The system is fine in text mode. How do I kill kde from the command line? [04:50] sudo stop kdm [04:55] ok stop kdm, startx results in a blank screen [05:10] hello [05:10] does anyone know why firestarter would have package dependancy issues with almost anything i try to install using kpackage kit?

[12:31] Hello? [12:32] Kaaj, install kdm [12:32] how can I do it if I can't log in? [12:32] Kaaj, did you migrate from gnome/unity [12:32] I can't get into kubuntu because it stops before I can [12:32] I migrated from xubuntu [12:32] xfce [12:33] can you get to a tty , alt+f1 ? [12:33] tty? [12:33] (sorry not really experienced with this stuff) [12:35] your running without the X server , no graphics , basically like a terminal [12:35] you're [12:35] and I'm actually dual booting with windows 7 so I can't try it out unless I get out of windows and try everything and I don't want to do that over and over so I want to get as much info as possible [12:35] hmm, about that - when it stops loading, do I try and press alt f1? [12:36] any commands you can do in the terminal can be used in the tty as well [12:36] hmm okay [12:36] so after I do that if it's good what do I do? [12:37] Kaaj, sudo apt-get remove lightdm && sudo apt-get install kdm [12:38] okay [12:38] I'll try this [12:38] thank you, I'll be back if I have any problems [12:39] any bind9 gurus? [12:39] almoxarife, no gurus here, just volunteers :) [12:41] decided to go for 12.04, not bad, crashes are minimal so far, I am impressed [12:41] almoxarife, yup, it's quite stable [12:42] except for that dnsmasq nastiness [12:42] BluesKaj: surprising aint it? [12:43] almoxarife, what dnsmasq nastiness ? [12:46] BluesKaj: I had used dnsmasq for ever thru all the flavors of ubuntu, on 12.04 you don't get to have your way with dnsmasq, so far perhaps, it bacame a default dns cache and along with it no more personal conf settings [12:46] Hey again [12:46] it didn't work [12:46] well [12:46] it doesn't say fail anymore [12:47] but then again it doesn't even come up now [12:47] it just stops at checking battery something [12:47] Kaaj: what didn't work? [12:47] or what is broke? [12:47] I installed kde over xubuntu [12:47] and it was working fine [12:47] but then I restarted the computer [12:47] and it didn't go passed the splash screen [12:48] I checked why and it was saying lightdm fail [12:48] so I uninstalled lightdm and installed kdm [12:48] I was told to do this [12:48] !enter [12:48] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:48] and then I restarted the computer and instead of saying lightdm fail, it just stops at checking battery or something [12:48] yes, and did you configure to use the lightdm instead? [12:48] (sorry for enter'ing a lot) [12:49] what do you mean configure? [12:49] I was using lightdm [12:49] and I was told to uninstall it [12:49] Kaaj: I got that [12:49] Kaaj: how did you install it? [12:49] I never installed lightdm [12:49] it came with kde I guess? [12:50] I don't know [12:50] Kaaj: what was the original xubuntu or kubuntu? [12:50] xubuntu [12:51] Kaaj: how did you install kdm? [12:51] alt f1 at the splash screen [12:51] sudo apt-get uninstall lightdm [12:51] sudo apt-get install kdm [12:51] this is what I was told to do [12:51] Kaaj: I saw what you were 'told' [12:52] No one using Kubuntu + Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network ) here? cant find an option to connect like in GNOME [12:52] Kaaj: it hangs at what point? [12:52] in ubuntu (not KDE) there appears a "Connect to Bluetooth Network " or similar in the Network-Manager [12:52] well now it hangs when it says "checking bettery ..." [12:52] or something like this [12:53] almoxarife, you realize that resolv.conf is now overwritten by /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d, check this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/933723 [12:53] Launchpad bug 933723 in bind9 (Debian) "resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file" [Unknown,New] [12:54] overwritten or overridden? [12:54] Kaaj: can you boot into xubuntu? [12:54] no I uninstalled it [12:54] I used the guide from psychocats [12:54] to create pure kde [12:55] Kaaj: did xubuntu work? [12:55] worked fine [12:55] szal, look at the URL I posted above [12:55] Kaaj: put it back [12:56] why? [12:56] I don't want to use xfce [12:56] Kaaj, did you install kubuntu-desktop [12:56] yes [12:56] that I did [13:00] BluesKaj: not sure about the bug, I don't have that issue, I wanted to resolve to 127.0.0.1, I setup network-manager to do so, and it does show that it did [13:00] Kaaj, have you tried the recovery mode /kernel in grub ? [13:00] almoxarife, networlkmanager? laptop?wifi? [13:00] hmm, I tried but it stopped again [13:01] Kaaj, what's your graphics card? [13:01] hmmm [13:01] let me check [13:01] BluesKaj: network-manager is the installed default 12.04, yeap laptop eth0 [13:02] integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 [13:03] almoxarife, if you want to run dnsmasq and resolv.conf with nameservers , it's best to remove NM , IMO . but that's me ...network manager isn't really required with eth0 [13:04] BluesKaj: I would still need it on wifi, better yet, I get to learn bin9 now instead of dnsmasq [13:06] So, any ideas what I should do guys? [13:07] kaaj , short doing a complete reinstall ..you could try the nomodeset procedure which might get you to a the login page [13:08] !nomodeset | Kaaj [13:08] Kaaj: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [13:10] argh I'll just stay with windows, thanks for your help guys but this is silly [13:12] bummer , I think i had a solution for him ... lightdm-kde-greeter [13:31] bonjour il ya quelqu'un ??...
