=== lanvintkgoale is now known as Davin66 [00:16] I 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] How do i fix this [00:20] I just reinstalled kdesudo, and it still gives me an error. [00:20] Right now, I'm trying to update graphically and creaate a live usb [00:24] When I type kdesudo usb-creator-kde into the terminal, it works. Any ideas how to fix this? [00:29] Now 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 arent [00:46] I set up KDE's file sharing (samba) But the windows machene asks for user and pass when I put mine in it says fail. [00:57] NVM Fixed.

[07:52] hi 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 11.10 [07:53] I'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. [07:55] i am using the default open source radeon driver, most prop a issue somewhere. Sure hope it is fixed soon though : [07:55] ) [07:56] You could try to install the closed source driver. [07:56] Perhaps that fixes your issue [08:00] will give it a bash [08:01] one word of warning, they can sometimes be a bugger to get working... === fred_ is now known as fredix__ === fredix__ is now known as fredix === nicolas__ is now known as blackwolf102 [10:58] Hi [10:58] Fernglas0815: Hey [10:59] Is 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] I'm getting alerts like support is going to be stopped soon. [11:00] What version of kubuntu are you running? [11:00] 10.04 LTS+ [11:00] 10.04 LTS [11:02] Hmm that is odd, 10.04 desktop should be supported till 2013, and server even longer. [11:02] It's just Thunderbird, that gives these messages. [11:02] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [11:03] Ah I fail to read... [11:03] The repos have no updates for Thunderbird? [11:03] yes :( [11:04] Try to add their repos: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable [11:05] then an update: sudo apt-get update [11:05] and then update thunderbird: sudo apt-get install thunderbird [11:05] 3.x.x which is installed here is possibly considered a stable version without security issues and therefore taken as uptodate. [11:06] is that from the standard (k)ubuntu repos? because those are usually quite outdated [11:08] I think so. [11:08] perhaps the mozilla repos has a newer version. [11:12] It's updated now.

[16:53] nah .. lordievader its not solved ] [16:53] lordievader: i want to hack with my friend the wlan of my parents [16:54] drevil: let me rephrase, how did you try to install it? [16:55] lordoevader: i searched in the internet for aircrack kubuntu and was directed to a site of ubuntu [16:55] lordievader: i download it and started it [16:56] did you install it through apt-get, by any chance? [16:56] no [16:57] wait [16:57] oh, now its installed [16:57] lordievader, can u tell me how to see the desktop option while browsing from file manager ! [16:57] anyone got an idea how to pinpoint why my notebook sometimes just freezes? [16:58] sky100: what do you mean exactly? [16:59] hyper_ch: run "top" in a terminal for a while, perhaps the command can show you some run-away program or something. [16:59] i wanted to browse to desktop option [16:59] lordievader: usually the terminal gets hidden over time [16:59] lordievader: but I do have htop running [17:00] hyper_ch: "gets hidden over time?" [17:01] well, I run other applications like writer on it that need full screen [17:01] and when the computer freezes, I can't switch back [17:01] suppose from file manager ( DOLPHIN) i want to see the my desktop .. [17:01] is waht i was hinting at [17:02] see my desktop * [17:02] hyper_ch: you could take a look at /var/log/syslog just after a freeze.. perhaps that will tell you something [17:03] sky100: just go to the desktop [17:03] sky100: what you mean is, you want to background of dolphin to be transparent? [17:03] lordievader: doesn't syslog get overwritten with reboot? [17:03] lordievader: I'll ahve a look next time [17:04] i wanted to know the directory to DESKTOP hyper_ch [17:05] sky100: /home/USERNAME/Desktop [17:05] ok [17:05] hyper_ch: might be, my knowlege of system logs is quite limited... [17:05] sky100: or ~/Desktop [17:05] lordievader: same here :) [17:06] sky100: in bash the "~" is a synonym for /home/USER_NAME [17:06] ok [17:07] hyper_ch: or you could try the ubuntuforums.org, there are quite a few people there who do know the system logs :P [17:18] i was opening dolphin & in search box putting this ..home/username/Desktop >> which is not showing any item , lordievader [17:18] it should show up the items which are on my desktop [17:19] i wanted to see directory to my desktop.... [17:19] :( [17:20] you did fill in your own username at USERNAME? [17:20] yes [17:20] its ppp [17:20] so the full path is: /home/ppp/Desktop [17:20] i typed like .. home /ppp/Desktop [17:20] yes thats what i typed in [17:20] the / in front is very important [17:21] oh ok [17:21] let me see [17:21] /home/ppp/Desktop [17:21] yes [17:21] thats what I typed in...

[17:22] Hmm, do you have any translations installed? ie, check /home/ppp/ for some kind of desktop folder [17:22] hmmm [17:23] sky100: 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] sky100: FYI [17:24] sky100: all path on linux are derived from "/" also known as "root" [17:24] yes [17:24] exactly so .. lordievader [17:24] sky100: when use use a path starting with a "/" it always means from root [17:24] oke, perhaps you have a different folder on your desktop, lets first check that. [17:24] sky100: however if you omit the leading "/" then it is a path from your current directory [17:24] sky100: so, assuming you're in "/home/ppp/" and use use a path "Desktop" [17:25] sky100: right click on your desktop -> desktop settings [17:25] sky100: then that's actually "/home/ppp/Desktop" [17:25] i typed like /home /ppp/Desktop hyper_ch [17:25] ok lordievader [17:25] do you have it in folder mode? [17:25] sky100: if you have paths with spaces in it, use quotes around it... like "/home/ppp/Desktop/Really Important" [17:25] folder layout, is the same thing [17:26] nah..image layout [17:26] ok hyper_ch [17:27] oke, so you have a folder widget [17:27] sky100: always be cautions when you have folders or files with spaces in it [17:27] ok [17:27] my layout =desktop [17:27] sky100: can you right click on the folder widget -> folder view settings [17:27] wallpaper=image [17:29] really cant figure out how to get to the desktop directory ..:( [17:29] sky100: return to the desktop [17:29] ok [17:29] right click on desktop [17:30] sky100: rightclick on the folder widget, the one holding the files -> then click folder view settings [17:30] right ? [17:30] not on the desktop itself, on the folder widget [17:30] let me tell u what im doing ... [17:30] im right clicking on my desktop..

I guess you dragged them from the start menu? [17:48] yes [17:48] And because they are not files, they will not show up when you go to ~/Desktop [17:48] oh ok [17:49] then how can I see the directory using /home/pp/Desktop ? [17:50] You want the files from ~/Desktop to show up on your Desktop?

[17:51] sky100: rightclick on the desktop -> desktop settings [17:52] sky100: you want the whole background to be your desktop folder? [17:52] ok [17:52] set the layout to folder view and hit apply [17:52] Now on the left hand side you should get a few more option, click location [17:52] ic [17:52] And check "show the desktop folder" [17:53] would that bring up the directory ? [17:53] /home/ppp/Desktop ... [17:54] Then everything that is in ~/Desktop will be shown on your desktop, go ahead and create a file or something in the Desktop folder [17:55] ic [17:55] ok [17:55] It works?

The main issues are: 1)when I set eth0 to share connection, my net stops working, and 2) even after creating an ad hoc network, I can't connect to it, others computers can't see it and it has no sinal strenght (it's not [18:12] that the signal is weak, it has no signal at all).
