[00:16] <Orcris> 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] <Orcris> How do i fix this
[00:20] <Orcris> I just reinstalled kdesudo, and it still gives me an error.
[00:20] <Orcris> Right now, I'm trying to update graphically and creaate a live usb
[00:24] <Orcris> When I type kdesudo usb-creator-kde into the terminal, it works. Any ideas how to fix this?
[00:29] <Orcris> 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] <Num83rGuy> 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] <Num83rGuy> NVM Fixed.
[00:57] <Num83rGuy> sudo smbpasswd -a $USER
[05:08] <hyper_ch> hmmmm, I wonder, what could cause the freezing of my notebook randomly or rather how to find out?
[05:22] <paolo_> ciao
[06:57] <EL-SANTO> Hi. id like to know if anybody speak spanish or any channel kubuntu in Spanish? Thanks
[06:58] <bazhang> !es | EL-SANTO
[06:59] <lordievader> EL-SANTO: English is more common here, but I do believe there are language specific channels, see: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/IRC/Guidelines
[07:00] <EL-SANTO> Thank u
[07:00] <bazhang> welcome

[07:52] <georgelappies> 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] <lordievader> 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] <georgelappies> i am using the default open source radeon driver, most prop a issue somewhere. Sure hope it is fixed soon though :
[07:55] <georgelappies> )
[07:56] <lordievader> You could try to install the closed source driver.
[07:56] <lordievader> Perhaps that fixes your issue
[08:00] <georgelappies> will give it a bash
[08:01] <lordievader> one word of warning, they can sometimes be a bugger to get working...
[10:58] <Fernglas0815> Hi
[10:58] <lordievader> Fernglas0815: Hey
[10:59] <Fernglas0815> 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] <Fernglas0815> I'm getting alerts like support is going to be stopped soon.
[11:00] <lordievader> What version of kubuntu are you running?
[11:00] <Fernglas0815> 10.04 LTS+
[11:00] <Fernglas0815> 10.04 LTS
[11:02] <lordievader> Hmm that is odd, 10.04 desktop should be supported till 2013, and server even longer.
[11:02] <Fernglas0815> It's just Thunderbird, that gives these messages.
[11:02] <lordievader> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[11:03] <lordievader> Ah I fail to read...
[11:03] <lordievader> The repos have no updates for Thunderbird?
[11:03] <Fernglas0815> yes :(
[11:04] <lordievader> Try to add their repos: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable
[11:05] <lordievader> then an update: sudo apt-get update
[11:05] <lordievader> and then update thunderbird: sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[11:05] <Fernglas0815> 3.x.x which is installed here is possibly considered a stable version without security issues and therefore taken as uptodate.
[11:06] <lordievader> is that from the standard (k)ubuntu repos? because those are usually quite outdated
[11:08] <Fernglas0815> I think so.
[11:08] <lordievader> perhaps the mozilla repos has a newer version.
[11:12] <Fernglas0815> It's updated now.
[11:12] <Fernglas0815> Thanks for your help! :)
[11:12] <lordievader> no problem
[12:21] <pbigmoon> hello
[12:29] <lordievader> pbigmoon: hello

[13:16] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:19] <lordievader> BluesKaj: hey, how are you?
[13:20] <BluesKaj> hi lordievader , just fine thanks , and how're you ?
[13:20] <lordievader> Good, finishing up a video for a college project
[14:39] <erickderficker> ?
[14:40] <BluesKaj> erickderficker, got a question ?
[14:40] <erickderficker> what is irc?
[14:41] <BluesKaj> !irc | erickderficker
[14:41] <bazhang> what you are on right now
[14:41] <BluesKaj> he's running quassel :)
[14:42] <erickderficker> im german, so i cant unterstand the guides so much
[14:42] <BluesKaj> !de
[14:43] <erickderficker> is ubottu the quassel service or a user ? xD
[14:45] <asfyxia> erickderficker, ubottu is a bot (software replient)
[14:46] <BluesKaj> ubottu,  is a bot which gives factoids when invoked with a "!packagename"
[14:46] <erickderficker> and why its talking to me ? :D
[14:47] <tsimpson> because BluesKaj told it to direct a factoid to you
[14:52] <erickderficker> are they german server?
[14:52] <erickderficker> *there
[14:53] <BluesKaj> german chat rooms
[14:53] <bazhang> this server
[14:53] <bazhang> #kubuntu-de
[14:53] <bazhang> that channel ^
[14:53] <erickderficker> thanks ;)
[14:54] <erickderficker> but there isnt anyone :D
[14:55] <bazhang> yeah there is
[14:56] <erickderficker> its only me :( :D
[14:57] <bazhang> try #ubuntu-de . but you are in #kubuntu-de with 28 other people
[14:58] <erickderficker> where can i see the user?
[15:01] <BluesKaj> hmm, quassel didn't cloak
[15:04] <erickderficker> what means cloak?
[15:04] <BluesKaj> hides your IP
[15:05] <erickderficker> which irc client hides my ip?
[15:05] <BluesKaj> it's not the client , the server admin does it if you request
[15:09] <lethu> erickderficker, this is unrelated to Kubuntu, please join #freenode for more info about the said topic
[15:11] <bazhang> tigerfurche, try in #quassel re the userlist
[15:14] <BluesKaj> lethu,  that's not necessary , we're helping him get acquainted with Kubuntu, Quassel on IRC
[15:21] <lethu> BluesKaj, ok

[16:42] <sky100> changed wallpaper is not getting saved
[16:42] <sky100> can any one pls suggest
[16:50] <sky100> hi lordievader
[16:50] <hyper_ch> anyone got an idea how to pinpoint why my notebook sometimes just freezes?
[16:51] <lordievader> sky100: hey, was your problem of wallpapers fixed?
[16:51] <drevil> can someone tell me, why my aircrack-ng installer dont do anything?
[16:52] <lordievader> drevil: what did you do to install it?
[16:53] <sky100> nah .. lordievader  its not solved ]
[16:53] <drevil> lordievader: i want to hack with my friend the wlan of my parents
[16:54] <lordievader> drevil: let me rephrase, how did you try to install it?
[16:55] <drevil> lordoevader: i searched in the internet for aircrack kubuntu and was directed to a site of ubuntu
[16:55] <drevil> lordievader: i download it and started it
[16:56] <lordievader> did you install it through apt-get, by any chance?
[16:56] <drevil> no
[16:57] <drevil> wait
[16:57] <drevil> oh, now its installed
[16:57] <sky100> lordievader,  can u tell me how to see the desktop option while browsing from file manager !
[16:57] <hyper_ch> anyone got an idea how to pinpoint why my notebook sometimes just freezes?
[16:58] <lordievader> sky100: what do you mean exactly?
[16:59] <lordievader> hyper_ch: run "top" in a terminal for a while, perhaps the command can show you some run-away program or something.
[16:59] <sky100> i wanted to browse to desktop option
[16:59] <hyper_ch> lordievader: usually the terminal gets hidden over time
[16:59] <hyper_ch> lordievader: but I do have htop running
[17:00] <lordievader> hyper_ch: "gets hidden over time?"
[17:01] <hyper_ch> well, I run other applications like writer on it that need full screen
[17:01] <hyper_ch> and when the computer freezes, I can't switch back
[17:01] <sky100> suppose from file manager ( DOLPHIN) i want to see the my desktop ..
[17:01] <sky100> is waht i was hinting at
[17:02] <sky100> see my desktop *
[17:02] <lordievader> hyper_ch: you could take a look at /var/log/syslog just after a freeze.. perhaps that will tell you something
[17:03] <hyper_ch> sky100: just go to the desktop
[17:03] <lordievader> sky100: what you mean is, you want to background of dolphin to be transparent?
[17:03] <hyper_ch> lordievader: doesn't syslog get overwritten with reboot?
[17:03] <hyper_ch> lordievader: I'll ahve a look next time
[17:04] <sky100> i wanted to know the directory to DESKTOP  hyper_ch
[17:05] <hyper_ch> sky100: /home/USERNAME/Desktop
[17:05] <sky100> ok
[17:05] <lordievader> hyper_ch: might be, my knowlege of system logs is quite limited...
[17:05] <hyper_ch> sky100: or  ~/Desktop
[17:05] <hyper_ch> lordievader: same here :)
[17:06] <lordievader> sky100: in bash the "~" is a synonym for /home/USER_NAME
[17:06] <sky100> ok
[17:07] <lordievader> 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] <sky100> i was opening dolphin & in search box putting this ..home/username/Desktop >> which is not showing any item , lordievader
[17:18] <sky100> it should show up the items which are on my desktop
[17:19] <sky100> i wanted to see directory to my desktop....
[17:19] <sky100> :(
[17:20] <lordievader> you did fill in your own username at USERNAME?
[17:20] <sky100> yes
[17:20] <sky100> its ppp
[17:20] <lordievader> so the full path is: /home/ppp/Desktop
[17:20] <sky100> i typed like .. home /ppp/Desktop
[17:20] <sky100> yes thats what i typed in
[17:20] <lordievader> the / in front is very important
[17:21] <sky100> oh ok
[17:21] <sky100> let me see
[17:21] <sky100> /home/ppp/Desktop
[17:21] <lordievader> yes
[17:21] <sky100> thats what I typed in...
[17:21] <sky100> nah .. did not show my desktop
[17:22] <sky100> says NO ITEM FOUND
[17:22] <ste_> !list
[17:22] <lordievader> Hmm, do you have any translations installed? ie, check /home/ppp/ for some kind of desktop folder
[17:22] <sky100> hmmm
[17:23] <lordievader> 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] <hyper_ch> sky100: FYI
[17:24] <hyper_ch> sky100: all path on linux are derived from "/" also known as "root"
[17:24] <sky100> yes
[17:24] <sky100> exactly so .. lordievader
[17:24] <hyper_ch> sky100: when use use a path starting with a "/" it always means from root
[17:24] <lordievader> oke, perhaps you have a different folder on your desktop, lets first check that.
[17:24] <hyper_ch> sky100: however if you omit the leading "/" then it is a path from your current directory
[17:24] <hyper_ch> sky100: so, assuming you're in "/home/ppp/" and use use a path "Desktop"
[17:25] <lordievader> sky100: right click on your desktop -> desktop settings
[17:25] <hyper_ch> sky100: then that's actually "/home/ppp/Desktop"
[17:25] <sky100> i typed like /home /ppp/Desktop  hyper_ch
[17:25] <sky100> ok lordievader
[17:25] <lordievader> do you have it in folder mode?
[17:25] <hyper_ch> sky100: if you have paths with spaces in it, use quotes around it... like   "/home/ppp/Desktop/Really Important"
[17:25] <lordievader> folder layout, is the same thing
[17:26] <sky100> nah..image layout
[17:26] <sky100> ok hyper_ch
[17:27] <lordievader> oke, so you have a folder widget
[17:27] <hyper_ch> sky100: always be cautions when you have folders or files with spaces in it
[17:27] <sky100> ok
[17:27] <sky100> my layout =desktop
[17:27] <lordievader> sky100: can you right click on the folder widget -> folder view settings
[17:27] <sky100> wallpaper=image
[17:29] <sky100> really cant figure out how to get to the desktop directory ..:(
[17:29] <lordievader> sky100: return to the desktop
[17:29] <sky100> ok
[17:29] <sky100> right click on desktop
[17:30] <lordievader> sky100: rightclick on the folder widget, the one holding the files -> then click folder view settings
[17:30] <sky100> right ?
[17:30] <lordievader> not on the desktop itself, on the folder widget
[17:30] <sky100> let me tell u what im doing ...
[17:30] <sky100> im right clicking on my desktop..
[17:31] <sky100> going 2 desktop setting
[17:32] <lordievader> hold on, i'll show you what i mean
[17:32] <sky100> ok
[17:33] <lordievader> euhh what was the service to post images again...?
[17:34] <lordievader> !flooding
[17:35] <lordievader> arg, image too large, hold on a second...
[17:35] <sky100> k
[17:35] <sky100> np
[17:37] <lordievader> http://imagebin.org/205583
[17:37] <lordievader> Look at the left screen, see what I mean?
[17:38] <hyper_ch> I don't have widgets on my desktop... I just let it show the desktop folder :)
[17:38] <hyper_ch> I'm a traditionalist
[17:38] <sky100> ok
[17:38] <sky100> ty lordievader
[17:38] <sky100> gonna chk
[17:39] <lordievader> sky100: in that "view folder settings" what does it say for location?
[17:40] <sky100> let me see
[17:41] <sky100> on right clicking im not seeing any such option
[17:42] <lordievader> sky100: could you send me an screenshot of your desktop?
[17:42] <sky100> hmmm
[17:42] <sky100> trying
[17:42] <lordievader> ksnapshot
[17:43] <lordievader> program to make screenshots
[17:43] <hyper_ch> just hit "print screen" key
[17:43] <sky100> yes
[17:43] <sky100> used it ..
[17:43] <sky100> now how to send it ?
[17:44] <lordievader> !flooding
[17:44] <lordievader> The imagebin link
[17:44] <sky100> ok
[17:46] <sky100> http://imagebin.org/205590
[17:46] <sky100> see it pls
[17:47] <sky100> ahh , i shd have taken snap having right clicked my desktop
[17:48] <lordievader> sky100: This explains a lot, those icons you see, are not files they are widgets. I guess you dragged them from the start menu?
[17:48] <sky100> yes
[17:48] <lordievader> And because they are not files, they will not show up when you go to ~/Desktop
[17:48] <sky100> oh ok
[17:49] <sky100> then how can I see the directory using /home/pp/Desktop ?
[17:50] <lordievader> You want the files from ~/Desktop to show up on your Desktop?
[17:50] <sky100> i simply want to type like /home/ppp/Desktop & it shd be right up there
[17:51] <sky100> so how can I get it!
[17:51] <lordievader> sky100: rightclick on the desktop -> desktop settings
[17:52] <hyper_ch> sky100: you want the whole background to be your desktop folder?
[17:52] <sky100> ok
[17:52] <lordievader> set the layout to folder view and hit apply
[17:52] <lordievader> Now on the left hand side you should get a few more option, click location
[17:52] <sky100> ic
[17:52] <lordievader> And check "show the desktop folder"
[17:53] <sky100> would that bring up the directory ?
[17:53] <sky100> /home/ppp/Desktop ...
[17:54] <lordievader> 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] <sky100> ic
[17:55] <sky100> ok
[17:55] <lordievader> It works?
[17:56] <sky100> i didnt try that out..
[17:56] <sky100> let me see
[17:57] <sky100> be back in few mins
[17:57] <sky100> afk
[18:08] <lordievader> gotta go
[18:12] <george> Hello. I'm running Kubuntu 11.10 and I'm trying to share wired internet by creating an ad hoc wi-fi net. I've already read lots of threads at both ubuntu and kubuntu forums, but can't find a way to get it working. 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] <george> that the signal is weak, it has no signal at all). Back to2010, on this same machine and with Ubuntu 10.04 it was easy and pretty straight forward, just a few clicks and done...
[18:12] <george> Please help
[18:28] <sky100> hey BluesKaj
[18:29] <sky100> hi
[18:29] <BluesKaj> hi sky100
[18:29] <sky100> i was just trying to get the the directory to my desktop which i dont find ..
[18:29] <sky100> to the*
[18:30] <sky100> lorvidevader was helping me out
[18:30] <BluesKaj> look in /home/yourusername in dolphin
[18:30] <sky100> yep
[18:31] <sky100> tried that out but its not showing p...
[18:31] <sky100> up*
[18:32] <sky100> http://imagebin.org/205590 << look at this BluesKaj
[18:32] <sky100> thats how my desktop looks
[18:33] <BluesKaj> open dolphin
[18:33] <sky100> ok
[18:33] <sky100> openned
[18:33] <sky100> opened*
[18:34] <sky100> i simply wanted to see the items on my desktop thro directory ...
[18:35] <sky100> accssible thro directory is all I wanted ...:(
[18:35] <BluesKaj> ok in the addressbar at the top  /home/yourusername/desktop , to see if it even exists
[18:35] <sky100> nah
[18:35] <sky100> its says NO ITEM FOUND
[18:36] <sky100> lorvidar told me after i showed him the snapshot of my desktop... that icons on my desktop are not files they are widgets
[18:36] <sky100> dragged from KICKER
[18:37] <sky100> now dunno how to get to directory ...
[18:37] <BluesKaj> yes . that's probly correct
[18:38] <BluesKaj> I don't use the desktop dir , so i don't know much about it
[18:39] <BluesKaj> if you want icons just drag the folder/app to the desktop from either the kmenu or dolphin , but not from the panel
[18:40] <BluesKaj> then choose the icon view
[18:43] <sky100> i dragged them earlier from KMENU
[18:44] <lordievader> sky100: hey
[18:44] <sky100> hey lordievader
[18:44] <lordievader> sky100: what seems to be the problem?
[18:46] <sky100> was just curious as to why the dir is not showing up ..
[18:47] <lordievader> You've put something in ~/Desktop, and it doesn't show on the desktop?
[18:48] <sky100> nothing is showing as desktop directory ...
[18:48] <sky100> always says no item found
[18:48] <lordievader> Even after you created an item in it?
[18:49] <sky100> i did not create any item ..
[18:49] <lordievader> Oke lets do that first, open a terminal
[18:49] <sky100> should i create a NEw folder on it ?
[18:49] <BluesKaj> http://imagebin.org/205595 ...have only 3 icons , the rest are launchers in the panel
[18:50] <lordievader> Type: cd /home/ppp/Desktop
[18:50] <lordievader> then: touch something.txt
[18:50] <lordievader> now you have created the file something.txt in ~/Desktop, this file should also show up on your desktop.
[18:51] <TE52> /join #linaro

[18:58] <sky100> bash: cd: /home/ppp/Desktop: No such file or directory
[18:58] <sky100> message in terminal
[18:58] <sky100> ^^^^^
[18:59] <lordievader> Ok, lets do it another way: go here "cd /home/ppp/"
[18:59] <sky100> ok
[18:59] <sky100> in dolphin ?
[18:59] <lordievader> no still in the terminal
[18:59] <sky100> ok
[18:59] <lordievader> then see if there is a listing of Desktop when you type in the command "ls"
[19:01] <sky100> ppp@ppp-desktop:~$ cd /home/ppp/
[19:01] <sky100> ppp@ppp-desktop:~$
[19:01] <sky100> thats what terminal shows ...
[19:03] <lordievader> after an "ls" it shows nothing?
[19:03] <sky100> no "ls" came up
[19:04] <sky100> i just typed above what terminal reveterd back to
[19:04] <Pici> sky100: you need to type ls yourself.
[19:05] <sky100> so type first cd/home/ppp then ls after that ?
[19:05] <sky100> didnt get u ..sorry
[19:05] <lordievader> yes first "cd /home/ppp/" and then "ls"
[19:06] <sky100> k
[19:06] <sky100> with inverted commas ?
[19:06] <lordievader> no without the ""
[19:06] <sky100> ok
[19:07] <sky100> yes...
[19:07] <sky100> it gave out some infos
[19:08] <lordievader> Is there a Desktop among them?
[19:08] <sky100> NO
[19:10] <lordievader> Hmm, then it seems you do not have a Desktop folder XD, to make one: "mkdir /home/ppp/Desktop
[19:10] <sky100> ok
[19:11] <sky100> how to make such directory
[19:11] <lordievader> mkdir /home/ppp/Desktop
[19:11] <sky100> i shd type that in terminal
[19:11] <lordievader> yes
[19:11] <sky100> ok
[19:13] <sky100> mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/ppp/Desktop': File exists<< MESSAGE I TERMINAL , lordievader
[19:13] <[Raiden]> )
[19:13] <sky100> in*
[19:14] <lordievader> So there is a Desktop folder in /home/ppp/ ?
[19:14] <sky100> mkdir reports like that...
[19:15] <sky100> but while typing /home/pp/Desktop>> it just doesn;t work
[19:15] <lordievader> Because earlier you said that there wasn't one, can you do "cd /home/ppp/Desktop/" ?
[19:15] <sky100> ok
[19:15] <lordievader> with the cd infront
[19:15] <sky100> doing
[19:15] <sky100> sure
[19:16] <sky100> bash: cd/home/ppp/Desktop: No such file or directory
[19:16] <sky100> ^^^ thats how cd/home/ppp/Desktop reports
[19:17] <[Raiden]> sky100:  cd/home/ppp/Desktop !=  cd /home/ppp/Desktop
[19:17] <lordievader> type a space between "cd" and the path...
[19:17] <sky100> oh ok
[19:18] <sky100> pp@ppp-desktop:~$ cd /home/ppp/Desktop
[19:18] <sky100> ppp@ppp-desktop:~/Desktop$
[19:19] <sky100> ^^^^ reports on terminal i gave space between cd /home...
[19:19] <lordievader> that looks better :) now type: "touch something.txt" again with a space between touch and the file name
[19:19] <lordievader> this will create an empty file called something.txt
[19:19] <sky100> what file ?
[19:21] <lordievader> the filename something.txt
[19:22] <sky100> i typed touch the filename.txt in terminal...
[19:22] <sky100> ok?
[19:23] <lordievader> what is the output when you type "ls"?
[19:24] <sky100> esktop    Downloads  inxi_1.7.28-1_all.deb  New Folder  Pictures  Templates        Videos  xchat cmds
[19:24] <sky100> Documents  dwhelper   Music                  output.txt  Public    thefilename.txt  XCHAT
[19:25] <sky100> thats the items showed on terminal...
[19:25] <lordievader> Do you also see these items on your desktop?
[19:25] <sky100> no
[19:25] <sky100> yes
[19:26] <sky100> but some of the items are not shown in terminal messgae
[19:26] <sky100> like i have audacious player
[19:26] <lordievader> Wait a minute you have made the thefilename.txt in your home dir, but not in the Desktop directory, did you reopen the terminal?
[19:26] <sky100> nah
[19:26] <sky100> shd i now check back in DOLPHIN ?
[19:27] <sky100> with /home/ppp/Desktop?
[19:27] <lordievader> No, just open a terminal, we'll just make a file on the Desktop
[19:27] <sky100> ok
[19:27] <lordievader> "ls Desktop"
[19:27] <lordievader> what does that give?
[19:27] <sky100> wait

[19:49] <BluesKaj> hmm, seems to me this desktop dir is much ado about very little ... I really don't get it , if the icons are already on the desktop what's the problem , why worry about folder in ~/  ?
[19:50]  * BluesKaj takes a break ...laters
[19:51] <lordievader> cya
[19:51] <[Raiden]> less ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

[19:55] <lordievader> No, I'm not sure what you are trying to say
[19:55] <sky100> whie*
[19:55] <sky100> ok
[19:56] <sky100> let me do it again /home/ppp/Desktop/thefilename.txt
[19:56] <sky100> for my satisfaction ...
[19:57] <savio> how to install messa driver
[19:58] <lordievader> savio: what graphics cart do you have?
[19:58] <sky100> but in directory to desktop...only that newly created thefilename.txt is showing up
[19:58] <savio> intel hd graphics
[19:58] <lordievader> Yes, that is correct, that is the only file in that dir
[19:59] <lordievader> savio: I think this answers your question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/87104/how-do-i-install-the-lastest-mesa-driver-in-11-10
[19:59] <sky100> ok
[20:00] <sky100> but other items on the desktop ..like Xchat , firefox is not in the dir?
[20:00] <lordievader> Unless running the command "ls /home/ppp/Desktop" shows more
[20:00] <lordievader> I think not.
[20:00] <sky100> how to get them seen as well ?
[20:01] <lordievader> You see them on your desktop right?
[20:01] <sky100> yes
[20:01] <lordievader> Then why do you want them in the folder?
[20:01] <lordievader> They are widgets remember?
[20:02] <sky100> yes
[20:02] <sky100> just wanted to make sure that folder view is also available
[20:02] <sky100> & also wanted to learn abt it ...
[20:04] <sky100> suppose i create a Folder on my desktop & want to browse to it to save some stuff..
[20:04] <sky100> is what urged me to find desktop directory
[20:04] <lordievader> And you did find it, so what is the problem?
[20:04] <sky100> do u get me lordievader ?
[20:05] <sky100> nah ,,,no problem
[20:05] <sky100> if i create a folder now , would I be able to browse to iton desktop ?

[20:07] <darthanubis> anyone using kubuntu and just updated adobe flash, to find all flesh tones are now blue
[20:07] <Num83rGuy> The Lancelot launcher is stuck to my desktop and I can't remove it. Does anyone know how to force it's removal?
[20:07] <sky100> im right clicking on desktop
[20:08] <sky100> but where is opton create new folder !
[20:08] <lordievader> sky100: under create new, on the top
[20:08] <lordievader> darthanubis: this is the kubuntu channel, most of us use kubunut, when did you update flash?
[20:09] <Num83rGuy> sky100 Do you have your desktop set to "folderview" in the desktop settings?
[20:09] <sky100> yes
[20:09] <darthanubis> lordievader: well there was another smartass who asked the same question about using beta software and told me to ask here?
[20:10] <sky100> shd I change it ?
[20:10] <darthanubis> The update was today
[20:10] <lordievader> darthanubis: I'm just asking because I want to try it out.
[20:10] <darthanubis> lordievader: try it, then you can confirm it
[20:10] <darthanubis> btw I have a nvidia card if that matters
[20:10] <lordievader> darthanubis: that was the intention
[20:11] <Num83rGuy> I just changed mine to folder view and create new is the first item on the menu.
[20:11] <hostnode> Hey guys, I have 12.04, how do I stop rekonq to come up with a search of a hotkey command in case I don't have the program itself installed?
[20:12] <lordievader> same here, with the folder view
[20:12] <Num83rGuy> LOL Changing to folder view did something to the stuck menu and allowed me to remove it. Thanks sky100.
[20:13] <lordievader> darthanubis: Well that flash update is just great, flash is now just grey for me, lets see if i can fallback.
[20:13] <Pici> hostnode: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1
[20:14] <hostnode> Cheers Pici! By the way, are you Hungarian?
[20:14] <paolinux> sera

[20:15] <sky100> lordievader,
[20:15] <sky100> cant *

[20:20] <darthanubis> lordievader: seems to be only youtube atm
[20:22] <lordievader> darthanubis: hmm well I downgraded, and it works again.
[20:23] <lordievader> darthanubis: to version 11.1.102.63
[20:28] <loco> hi
[20:28] <lordievader> hey loco
[20:28] <loco> hey lordievader
[20:28] <lordievader> how are you?
[20:29] <loco> fine thnx and u?
[20:29] <lordievader> Im good, just found out that the flash update is buggy
[20:30] <loco> lol me i hate the unit
[20:30] <loco> unity of ubuntu
[20:31] <lordievader> What does unity have to do with this?
[20:32] <loco> it's the shell
[20:33] <darthanubis> lordievader: 11,2,202,228
[20:34] <lordievader> darthanubis: that is the new (buggy) version right?
[20:34] <darthanubis> yes
[20:35] <lordievader> Right well, just don't install it XD
[20:35] <loco> lol
[20:35] <darthanubis> right
[20:35] <lordievader> You know how to downgrade?
[20:39] <loco> 1.Check which version of flash player you installed.Just type “about:plugins” in your firefox’s address bar,you will know which version you installed.
[20:39] <loco> 2.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-nonfree
[20:39] <loco> 3.Restart your firefox and repeat step 1,you will find no related flash player plugin installed now
[20:39] <loco> 4.Download and install the lower version flash player plugin you needed from
[20:39] <FloodBotK1> loco: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:42] <loco> lordievader:  u see this?
[20:44] <joseph__> Hi, My Kubuntu Box crashes dolphin often...
[20:44] <joseph__> is this normal using KDE 4.8.1 ?
[20:44] <joseph__> well is not normal... but its a known issue?
[20:47] <markit> hi, I need a wifi usb pen that works "out of the box" with 12.04, and suports wpa2, any suggestion?
[20:48] <loco> joseph__:
[20:48] <loco> This crash looks like it's related to Nepomuk. It
[20:48] <loco> gets reported quite frequently these days, but it seems that it only occurs on
[20:48] <loco> Kubuntu 10.04. Unfortunately, we don't know yet what the root cause of the bug
[20:48] <FloodBotK1> loco: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:48] <loco> is.
[20:48] <loco> A temporary workaround for people who are annoyed by these frequent crashes
[20:48] <loco> might be to disable Nepomuk in the System Settings.
[20:49] <BluesKaj> loco,  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 course
[20:50] <BluesKaj>  /usr/lib/adobe--flashplugin and/or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ,that is
[20:51] <joseph__> loco: I use 11.10...
[20:51] <loco> lordievader:  have the flash problem not me
[20:52]  * joseph__ was thinking on trying the beta for 12.04
[20:52] <BluesKaj> sorry loco , I should have read more carefully
[20:52] <loco> BluesKaj: no problem ;)
[20:52] <BluesKaj> lordievader,  do you see my post above , about the flashplayer?
[20:54] <loco> joseph__:  try Nautilus is more stable
[20:57] <joseph__> loco: lol
[20:57] <joseph__> loco: rhy would someone use KDE and Nautilus?
[20:58] <joseph__> If I where using Nautilus I would use Unity or Gnome
[20:58] <liveusbhelp> greetings
[20:59] <liveusbhelp>  i am having a problem using a live usb with kubuntu on it
[20:59] <liveusbhelp>  does any one have experance in this
[21:01] <markit> liveusbhelp: what kind of problems? Usually I just use for some test.. and use a usb hd is much faster
[21:01] <lordievader> loco im sorry was afk, what is wrong?
[21:01] <[Raiden]> April 3 will already 4.8.2, can be corrected anything. I have 4.8.1 and the dolphin does not fall   (google translate).
[21:01] <liveusbhelp> i have a live version installed using unbootin
[21:02] <liveusbhelp>    but i can not get my computer to boot from it
[21:02] <markit> liveusbhelp: I use unbooting as well when I use debian, but some iso has troubles with it
[21:02] <markit> liveusbhelp: you should use the ubuntu tool I don't remmeber it's name.... usbcreator?
[21:02] <liveusbhelp>    well i want to try befor i install a perment version on my putter
[21:02] <loco> joseph__: http://www.muktware.com/articles/02/2011/1311
[21:03] <liveusbhelp>   it might not be the usb immage
[21:03] <markit> liveusbhelp: use a livecd then, if is just for compatibily test
[21:03] <liveusbhelp> might be my putter
[21:04] <liveusbhelp>  what is a good iso manger to write linix in
[21:04] <markit> liveusbhelp: what means "does not boot"? have you set the bios or press a key to set it to boot from usb? is it a recent computer? usb2?
[21:04] <[Raiden]> nautilus not good idea :)
[21:04] <liveusbhelp>    i try every thing
[21:04] <markit> liveusbhelp: for a iso on cd, I think there are no problems whatever you use
[21:04] <joseph__> loco: nice idea but still... Dolphin > Nautilus IMO
[21:05] <liveusbhelp>    do i nee a iso reader to use
[21:05] <lordievader> loco: i didn't have a problem with flash, the downgraded version works fine.
[21:05] <liveusbhelp> basicaly
[21:05] <markit> liveusbhelp: you need to download a kubuntu iso image (the same you have used with unetbootin) and a "cd burner" program
[21:06] <markit> then you have to setup your pc to boot from CD-ROM, that usually is more easy than convince it to boot from usb
[21:06] <liveusbhelp>  my putter will not let me boot from usb even though it has a priority menue that can be sifted
[21:06] <liveusbhelp>  also has a f12 menue for booting but it only has 3 of seve options no usb
[21:06] <markit> liveusbhelp: is usb inserted BEFORE turning the computer on?
[21:07] <liveusbhelp> yep
[21:07] <markit> it has to "see" it in advance
[21:07] <liveusbhelp>  it is there
[21:07] <markit> mmm strange then, I've no idea
[21:07] <liveusbhelp>    live cd it is then
[21:07] <liveusbhelp>  guess i will try that
[21:08] <liveusbhelp> bbs  hopfully this works
[21:08] <liveusbhelp> starting to really hate windos
[21:08] <liveusbhelp>  and win 8 looks like shit
[21:09] <BluesKaj> liveusbhelp,  we don't 'hate" windows as such , we just prefer kubuntu :)
[21:12] <markit> BluesKaj: well, I hate proprietary programs, so you can't talk for me :)
[21:12] <markit> in any case, new laptop are harder and harder to boot with GNU/Linux or dual boot with it
[21:13] <markit> I've seen a HP laptop with 4 primary partitions :(
[21:13] <markit> recovery, c:, d:, "hp tools"
[21:14] <BluesKaj> markit,  it's just to prevent windows bashing ...a waste of space and ebergy IMO ,and I don't presume to speak for everyone , the "we" was merely a figure of speecn
[21:14] <BluesKaj> energy
[21:15] <markit> yep, good choice, just joking
