OrcrisI think my kdesudo is broken. When I try to do anything graphically that requires root permissions, it gives me an error. I was just using the startup disk creator, and it gave me a permissions error without asking for root access. Muon has been doing that too.00:16
OrcrisHow do i fix this00:16
OrcrisI just reinstalled kdesudo, and it still gives me an error.00:20
OrcrisRight now, I'm trying to update graphically and creaate a live usb00:20
OrcrisWhen I type kdesudo usb-creator-kde into the terminal, it works. Any ideas how to fix this?00:24
OrcrisNow that i think of it, it sems like only programs that request permission after they open that are affected. Program that request permission when they start arent00:29

EL-SANTOHi. id like to know if anybody speak spanish or any channel kubuntu in Spanish? Thanks06:57
bazhang!es | EL-SANTO06:58
ubottuEL-SANTO: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.06:58
lordievaderEL-SANTO: English is more common here, but I do believe there are language specific channels, see: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/IRC/Guidelines06:59

georgelappieshi all, I am getting frequent crashes to a black or red screen where I have to hold the power button in to reboot the laptop on 12.04 is this a known issue for now? This didn't happen at all with 11.1007:52
lordievaderI'm not sure if it is an issue with 12.04, do keep in mind it is a beta, it might also be a video driver issue.07:53
georgelappiesi am using the default open source radeon driver, most prop a issue somewhere. Sure hope it is fixed soon though :07:55
georgelappies)07:55
lordievaderYou could try to install the closed source driver.07:56
lordievaderPerhaps that fixes your issue07:56
georgelappieswill give it a bash08:00
lordievaderone word of warning, they can sometimes be a bugger to get working...08:01

Fernglas0815Hi10:58
lordievaderFernglas0815: Hey10:58
Fernglas0815Is there going to be an update to Thunderbird 11 or something newer than version 3.x.x for Kubuntu 10.04 LTS soon?10:59
Fernglas0815I'm getting alerts like support is going to be stopped soon.10:59
lordievaderWhat version of kubuntu are you running?11:00
Fernglas081510.04 LTS+11:00
Fernglas081510.04 LTS11:00
lordievaderHmm that is odd, 10.04 desktop should be supported till 2013, and server even longer.11:02
Fernglas0815It's just Thunderbird, that gives these messages.11:02
lordievaderhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS11:02
lordievaderAh I fail to read...11:03
lordievaderThe repos have no updates for Thunderbird?11:03
Fernglas0815yes :(11:03
lordievaderTry to add their repos: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable11:04
lordievaderthen an update: sudo apt-get update11:05
lordievaderand then update thunderbird: sudo apt-get install thunderbird11:05
Fernglas08153.x.x which is installed here is possibly considered a stable version without security issues and therefore taken as uptodate.11:05
lordievaderis that from the standard (k)ubuntu repos? because those are usually quite outdated11:06
Fernglas0815I think so.11:08
lordievaderperhaps the mozilla repos has a newer version.11:08
Fernglas0815It's updated now.11:12
Fernglas0815Thanks for your help! :)11:12

drevillordievader: i want to hack with my friend the wlan of my parents16:53
lordievaderdrevil: let me rephrase, how did you try to install it?16:54
drevillordoevader: i searched in the internet for aircrack kubuntu and was directed to a site of ubuntu16:55
drevillordievader: i download it and started it16:55
lordievaderdid you install it through apt-get, by any chance?16:56

sky100lordievader,  can u tell me how to see the desktop option while browsing from file manager !16:57
hyper_chanyone got an idea how to pinpoint why my notebook sometimes just freezes?16:57
lordievadersky100: what do you mean exactly?16:58
lordievaderhyper_ch: run "top" in a terminal for a while, perhaps the command can show you some run-away program or something.16:59
sky100i wanted to browse to desktop option16:59
hyper_chlordievader: usually the terminal gets hidden over time16:59
hyper_chlordievader: but I do have htop running16:59
lordievaderhyper_ch: "gets hidden over time?"17:00
hyper_chwell, I run other applications like writer on it that need full screen17:01
hyper_chand when the computer freezes, I can't switch back17:01
sky100suppose from file manager ( DOLPHIN) i want to see the my desktop ..17:01
sky100is waht i was hinting at17:01
sky100see my desktop *17:02
lordievaderhyper_ch: you could take a look at /var/log/syslog just after a freeze.. perhaps that will tell you something17:02
hyper_chsky100: just go to the desktop17:03
lordievadersky100: what you mean is, you want to background of dolphin to be transparent?17:03
hyper_chlordievader: doesn't syslog get overwritten with reboot?17:03
hyper_chlordievader: I'll ahve a look next time17:03
sky100i wanted to know the directory to DESKTOP  hyper_ch17:04
hyper_chsky100: /home/USERNAME/Desktop17:05
sky100ok17:05
lordievaderhyper_ch: might be, my knowlege of system logs is quite limited...17:05
hyper_chsky100: or  ~/Desktop17:05
hyper_chlordievader: same here :)17:05
lordievadersky100: in bash the "~" is a synonym for /home/USER_NAME17:06
sky100ok17:06
lordievaderhyper_ch: or you could try the ubuntuforums.org, there are quite a few people there who do know the system logs :P17:07
sky100i was opening dolphin & in search box putting this ..home/username/Desktop >> which is not showing any item , lordievader17:18
sky100it should show up the items which are on my desktop17:18
sky100i wanted to see directory to my desktop....17:19
sky100:(17:19
lordievaderyou did fill in your own username at USERNAME?17:20
sky100yes17:20
sky100its ppp17:20
lordievaderso the full path is: /home/ppp/Desktop17:20
sky100i typed like .. home /ppp/Desktop17:20
sky100yes thats what i typed in17:20
lordievaderthe / in front is very important17:20
sky100oh ok17:21
sky100let me see17:21
sky100/home/ppp/Desktop17:21

sky100thats what I typed in...17:21

lordievaderHmm, do you have any translations installed? ie, check /home/ppp/ for some kind of desktop folder17:22
sky100hmmm17:22
lordievadersky100: just to get my thoughts straight: you have files on your desktop, and you want to go, with dolphin, to the directory where those files are stored. Right?17:23
hyper_chsky100: FYI17:23
hyper_chsky100: all path on linux are derived from "/" also known as "root"17:24
sky100yes17:24
sky100exactly so .. lordievader17:24
hyper_chsky100: when use use a path starting with a "/" it always means from root17:24
lordievaderoke, perhaps you have a different folder on your desktop, lets first check that.17:24
hyper_chsky100: however if you omit the leading "/" then it is a path from your current directory17:24
hyper_chsky100: so, assuming you're in "/home/ppp/" and use use a path "Desktop"17:24
lordievadersky100: right click on your desktop -> desktop settings17:25
hyper_chsky100: then that's actually "/home/ppp/Desktop"17:25
sky100i typed like /home /ppp/Desktop  hyper_ch17:25
sky100ok lordievader17:25
lordievaderdo you have it in folder mode?17:25
hyper_chsky100: if you have paths with spaces in it, use quotes around it... like   "/home/ppp/Desktop/Really Important"17:25
lordievaderfolder layout, is the same thing17:25
sky100nah..image layout17:26
sky100ok hyper_ch17:26
lordievaderoke, so you have a folder widget17:27
hyper_chsky100: always be cautions when you have folders or files with spaces in it17:27
sky100ok17:27
sky100my layout =desktop17:27
lordievadersky100: can you right click on the folder widget -> folder view settings17:27
sky100wallpaper=image17:27
sky100really cant figure out how to get to the desktop directory ..:(17:29
lordievadersky100: return to the desktop17:29
sky100ok17:29
sky100right click on desktop17:29
lordievadersky100: rightclick on the folder widget, the one holding the files -> then click folder view settings17:30

lordievaderAnd check "show the desktop folder"17:52
sky100would that bring up the directory ?17:53
sky100/home/ppp/Desktop ...17:53

loco2.To uninstall the flash player plugin you just need to run command “sudo apt-get remove –purge flashplugin-nonfree”20:39
loco sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree20:39
loco3.Restart your firefox and repeat step 1,you will find no related flash player plugin installed now20:39

BluesKajloco,  downloa the flashplayer tarball from adobe , extract it wherever your downloads set , then copy the libflashplayer.so to usr/lib/adobe--flashplugin .and if that doesn't work copy it to /usr/lib/mozilla /plugins , with root permissions of course20:49
BluesKaj /usr/lib/adobe--flashplugin and/or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ,that is20:50
