[00:04] I attempted to roll back the changes, but I still can't initiate a kdm session: http://pastebin.com/X5xXkxZ5 === HelenB is now known as HelenB[Away] === HelenB[Away] is now known as HelenB [00:21] hi all [00:22] chromium buttons [00:22] it do not show [00:23] min/restore/close buttons [00:28] Would anyone be able to help me get my KDE environment working/running again? I rolled back and am still unable to get a desktop environment that loads after logging in. [00:39] GH3: create a new user and check whether or not it is happening... [00:45] It is happening on all users. But, I got it fixed. [00:46] Now I just need to fix my Iptables commands that were somehow wiped out when I did the dist-upgrade and the purge commands to roll back. === warren is now known as Guest7616 [01:24] !hate [01:26] Guest7616: ? [01:26] i was trying to test the bot [01:26] if there is any... [01:26] i've seen one before in this channel [01:27] Just died, actually. [01:27] sad news === HelenB is now known as HelenB[Away] === HelenB[Away] is now known as HelenB === artao is now known as artao_afk === ybit is now known as fussybabybitch === fussybabybitch is now known as ybit === artao_afk is now known as artao === CQ_ is now known as CQ [03:48] any chance 12.04 is released for the weekend? [03:50] nope... [03:55] and waiting for the new release to format my PC, I'm with this OS (upgrading it) since 10.04 [03:56] and the performance isn't the same =/ === renzo is now known as renzo_from_south [04:34] It seems like Blue Systems interest is in all things KDE, and that is why they decided to sponser Kubuntu. In fact they were already sponsering some Kubuntu derivatives, so it makes sense they've have an interest in the health of Kubuntu itself. [04:36] In case anyone is confused, it looks like I was responding to some posts from many, many hours ago. [05:23] what is Blue Systems? [05:53] zorobabel: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=%22blue+systems%22 [05:56] mr-rich: lmgtfy is considered rude here, so please don't use it [05:57] rude? why? [05:57] people ask here to get help, not to get told "google it" [05:58] (we can continue this discussion in -offtopic or some other more suitable place if you want) [06:00] can't Google anyway here [06:02] No discusssion needed save to say this: A) zorobabel's question was not a help question and B) The link I provided will give him the information he is seeking. If had been an actual question I could have answered, I would have done so ... [06:03] zorobabel: Work computer? [06:03] yes [06:03] I was just curious and didn't intend to start some kind of argument, no answer was necessary for that matter === avihay_ is now known as avihay [06:06] so, your work computer lets you on IRC, but won't let you google? ... strange ... my work computer (thin client) is the oposite ... [06:07] it's actually the work internet connection [06:07] I don't know if it's deliberate or just typically terrible Indonesian internet, but at work I cannot access Google, Yahoo, and various other major sites === KRF_ is now known as KRF [06:08] zorobabel: what about duckduckgo? [06:09] zorobabel: Try changing the dns to "8.8.8.8" and "8.8.4.4" (Google public dns) [06:11] duckduckgo works [06:14] try "blue systems" in duckduckgo or just go to www.bluesystems.com if you can ... [06:18] zorobabel: What happens when you ping google and the rest? === KarmaComa|2 is now known as KarmaComa [07:06] bkerensa: pong [07:19] Riddell: Don't you hate contentless pings? [07:23] Daskreech: I prefer to void hatred, it suggests something isn't understood [07:28] Riddell: don't you $(/dev/null) contentless pings ? === GirlyGirl_ is now known as GirlyGirl [08:06] Wow! What a turn around. The future is really starting to look bright for Kubuntu. Blue System has just upped the ante to sponsoring TWO full-time Kubuntu developers! Looks like Kubuntu is going to start receiving more love than it ever got during its Canonical days. [08:06] http://agateau.com/2012/04/11/into-the-blue/ [08:07] The long dark days of second class citizenship seem to be over. [08:08] I guess sometimes dark clouds really do have silver linings. [08:09] len: Don't expect much changes so soon [08:13] I've not looking for any big changes. Just want Kubuntu to track KDE proper has closely as possible with really good, clean, stable implementations. [08:14] and it looks like they'll have the resources to do so. [08:19] I got fed up because it lookes like Mark never wanted Kubuntu to succeed, growing to the point of seeming like he was actively undermining it, and worried that it's success was a threat to his "vision." === ocs is now known as faLUCE [08:27] Future is starting to look better for KDE too now that all the growing pains from the 3 -> 4 transition are over (4.8.2 is really nice and has even tamed the neopmuk beast), the gnome project is self-destructing, and Microsoft seems determined to follow them down the same road with their metro interface. [08:28] Metro will probably save Microsoft [08:28] but I expect Windows 8 to be met with trepidation [08:28] But Hooray Blue Systems ! :) [08:29] I don't know many people who want to pretend their 22" desktop monitor is a 10" touch screen. [08:29] People wouldn't be fleeing Unity and gnome 3 if that were the case. [08:30] I'm not sure if Metro will save Microsoft, for a tablet it is good, but for a desktop? [08:31] Daskreech: Microsoft isn't stupid they know that the competition to WIndows 8 will not be Linux but actually Windows 7. Just like xp was for vista [08:31] So its a win win situation [08:32] Oh yeah, Microsoft has only produced, Windows ME, BOB, and Vista. They don't put out any pure flops :) [08:32] GirlyGirl: Yes which is why I expect Windows 8 will have some trepidation. In any case nothing that MS has done has affected me in about 5 years [08:32] * jussi reminds peoples this discussion would be better suited to #kubuntu-offtopic :) [08:32] Other than having people call me because Vista sucks [08:33] jussi: True but #kubuntu-devel is always dead. And given that #kubuntu has less traffic than #ubuntu I don't see a reason to have a #kubuntu-offtopic [08:33] edit: #-offtopic not devel lol [08:33] GirlyGirl: still [08:34] GirlyGirl: policy (which I suppose after April we don't have to live by \o/) [08:34] Daskreech: huh? [08:34] Tm_T: We'd be like fluxbuntu [08:34] no, like Xubuntu [08:34] ^ [08:34] status of Kubuntu isn't changing really [08:35] anyways, -> #kubuntu-offtopic [08:35] I always find it amuzing when people get picky about the specifics of conversation when the alternative is usually hours and hours and hours of dead air. It's not like most of freenode rooms have traffic problems :) [08:37] len: Yes but it does hurt people looking for help [08:39] I understand why #ubuntu is support only. But #kubuntu should be both in my opinion. Actually #ubuntu-uk has more traffic than here and people use it for offtopic and support [08:40] GirlyGirl: this is wrong place to discuss this (so let's stop the offtopic here) (: [08:40] I don't think so. I don't see an ongoing conversation as stopping people from stopping to help people coming in with problems. On the contrary, they'll actually see signs of life and not think it's a dead room with lots off people showing up on the list but everyone away from their computer. [08:41] len: see my previous comment (: [08:43] Well, I disagree, and think that some people just like rule for the sake of rules. Have it your way. Enjoy the beautiful sound of dead air. [08:45] len: Pretty good discussion in -offtopic btw === lindalou is now known as westmi [09:37] helloooo [09:37] hellooo [09:37] i was in ubuntu channel but the others there wont help me [09:37] can you help me [09:42] orangblume: Depends on the problem [09:44] well [09:44] i never used linux before [09:44] now i use it but i miss arial and times new roman [09:44] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because if not using Kubuntu you should be in #ubuntu not here [09:48] OH SHIT [09:48] i read [09:48] kubuntu will stopped [09:48] after 12.04 [09:48] !ops [09:48] Help! Channel emergency!

[09:59] mmc2: You can search for muon in the KDE menu [09:59] I've uninstalled postgres and pgadm3, had some setting up issues so uninstalled them through terminal [09:59] mmc2: and .... [09:59] I dont see them any more in muon [10:00] which is OK [10:00] !enter | mmc2 [10:00] mmc2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:00] but I still have them in kmenu [10:00] mmc2: Does it launch from kmenu? [10:00] yes it does [10:01] mmc2: What command did you use to unistall? [10:01] sudo apt-get --purge remove [10:02] mmc2: for which packages? [10:02] there were 3 packages for postgres [10:03] and 1 for pgadmin3 [10:04] yes could you give the package names ? [10:04] sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql-9.1 postgresql-client-9.1 postgresql-client-common postgresql-common [10:04] i did that after dpkg -l | grep postgres [10:05] mmc2: could you run sudo apt-get autoremove --purge [10:05] Or don't use the --purge [10:05] I dont know the state of your packages [10:06] Reading package lists... Done [10:06] Building dependency tree [10:06] Reading state information... Done [10:06] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [10:07] mmc2: if you type postgr and press tab twice do you get a response ? [10:07] where do I type it [10:07] terminal? [10:08] mmc2: yes [10:08] nothing happens [10:09] Hmm [10:09] So what is running when you click in menu ? [10:09] Kmenu [10:10] I still have postgres and pgadmin under applications i kmenu and can run it [10:10] in kmenu [10:10] What do you see when you run it? [10:11] it starts the software [10:11] Hmm [10:11] that makes no sense [10:11] can you press alt+f2 and type kmenuedit [10:11] I'd give you, if you want a teamviewer pass and check it out for yourself [10:12] yes and [10:12] no need as yet just trying to figure out if you have locally manual installed packages [10:12] Ok find the entry for postgres and see what target it's running [10:14] is this what you are looking for /opt/PostgreSQL/8.3/scripts/launchpgadmin.sh [10:15] mmc2: That's what I thought. you or someone using the computer installed Postgresql from the website [10:15] It was intaled manually so it should be removed manually [10:15] ok, how do I do it [10:16] mmc2: would depend on how it was installed So look at the documentation in /opt/PostgreSQL [10:16] ok, any other suggestions [10:17] I could say rm -r /opt/PostgreSQL but that would be irresponsible of me :) [10:17] :) thanks [10:18] mmc2: There will probably be a README file in the directory or a uninstall script [10:18] that would be a better path if you want to run the equivalent of a --purge [10:18] i found the uninstall script, what can i do with it [10:19] mmc2: did you just see it or did you read something that pointed you to it? [10:20] well, I'm looking at it right now [10:20] mmc2: so you just saw it ? :) ok Cd into the directory that it exists in [10:22] mmc2: is it called uninstall ?

[10:32] You can install manually but through the packaging system (a .deb file) that you don't need to uninstall manually but in general yes you do [10:32] GirlyGirl, no not yet. [10:32] although I prefer KDE to gnome. :3 [10:35] GirlyGirl, I have a nice plastic theme. :3 [10:36] HelenB: Plastique was the old theme in KDE 3x but if it suits you its fine. [10:37] GirlyGirl, It's called Plastik and it's still there! :3 [10:38] I know its a kde 4 port [10:38] It uses less resources too so if you like the look then good for you [10:44] GirlyGirl, All the geeks at college tend to be noobs [10:44] and last time I showed them a KDE desktop [10:44] they said "That's Windows 7" [10:45] so I said "No it's NOT it's KDE!" [10:45] and they went [10:45] No it's not it's Windows 7 [10:45] so I started showing them the difference between Windows 7 and my screenshot [10:45] and they were STILL convinced it was Windows 7!

[14:08] !question | lordievader [14:08] lordievader: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:08] hi lordievader . what's the problem ? [14:09] The problem is this, my soundblaster does not have any output anymore, in kmix everything is set right. The strange thing is, earlier it worked fine... [14:12] lordievader: provide a screenshot of "alsamixer" in terminal [14:12] lordievader, open alsamixer in the terminal ...it has more options for controlling your sound iputs and outputs than kmix , and make sure you don't have any relavent ctrls Muted (MM) or turned way down [14:13] GirlyGirl, hold on, I just removed the card in the hope that booting it without and then reinstalling it would fix it.

[14:25] GirlyGirl, No, not that I can remember. [14:26] lordievader: Also System Settings > Multimedia > Phonon .. press the test button and see if an error message pops up [14:26] GirlyGirl, btw the pulseaudio volume meter does show that there is output, just that I do not hear anything. [14:27] GirlyGirl, the test button does not give error, nor do I hear anything. [14:27] lordievader: install pavucontrol [14:28] GirlyGirl, already done that, that does show there is/should be output [14:28] lordievader: Stupid question but are your speakers working? [14:29] My headphone is indeed working, and so is the soundcard itself. In windows everything works fine. [14:30] How do I get the grub menu to show when I startup? [14:31] lordievader, how many devices are shown in phonon>device preference , and if there are more than one depeding on the output type spdif or analog check/test the one that applies to your output [14:31] AceKing: press esc [14:31] GirlyGirl_: Thank you!

[14:34] BluesKaj, hmm I see now that there are two listings of CA0106 Soundblaster Analogue Stereo, one grayed out one not... [14:34] lordievader: Did you ever get a message on login asking whether kde should forget about some sound devices? [14:35] lordievader, can you pastebin a scrnshot of the device preference [14:35] Yeah after disabling the onboard one [14:36] ahh, ok your also config file is probly still listing the onboard as default [14:36] alsa config [14:36] BluesKaj, http://imagebin.org/207725 [14:37] BluesKaj, that is not the case, even when I move, clementine in this case, the audio output to the right card I still don't hear anything. [14:43] lordievader, cat /proc/asound/modules [14:43] I need a screen recorder. [14:43] non of them work right. === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [14:44] BluesKaj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/926504/ [14:45] HelenB: What problems do you have with recorditnow [14:46] GirlyGirl, When I open the ogv file in VLC [14:46] it doesn't play [14:46] and it doesn't give any error [14:47] lordievader, sudo modprobe snd_ca0106 [14:48] BluesKaj, this command doesn't return anything, should it? [14:48] HelenB: Try kazam [14:49] hi all [14:49] lordievader, no it shouldn't [14:49] GirlyGirl, How do I install it? [14:49] what is it's package name? [14:50] HelenB: apt-get install [14:50] I know [14:50] but it can't be found. [14:51] HelenB: Maybe its only in precise [14:51] HelenB: brb [14:51] kay [14:51] :( [14:52] How do I upgrade to beta 2 precise? === peace is now known as Peace- [15:06] lordievader, open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and copy and paste this line at the bottom of the page, options snd_ca0106 index=0 [15:06] lordievader, use root permissions when opening that file [15:07] BluesKaj, and then a reboot? [15:07] lordievader, that line makes you soundblaster driver/card the default [15:08] you can reboot , or run sudo alsa -force reload [15:10] BluesKaj, Im afraid to say that didn't fix it... [15:11] what didn't fix it ..the reload ? [15:11] them reboot [15:11] yes [15:11] then [15:12] reload doesn't always work for some reason [15:12] And here it didn't either, now rebooting. [15:14] lordievader, after rebooting , check your phonon device preferences again to make sure you chosen device tests ok . [15:16] BluesKaj, nope still nothing... [15:16] lordievader, did you see my post above? [15:17] about phonon prewferences? [15:17] about the chosen device? Yes, I dont hear anything [15:17] are there any other choices ? [15:18] BluesKaj, No, but I must say in the hardware setup I turned the others off [15:18] HelenB: Since your system isn't exactly clean don't you want to remove ubuntu packages before upgrading or do a fresh install? [15:19] lordievader, do you mean the intel hda [15:19] BluesKaj, No, the internal audio (a realtek chip) and the hdmi out of my videocard. [15:22] lordievader, also in the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ,make sure no other snd drivers are index=0 , the snd_ca0106 should be the only defaalt , give the intel an index=-1 [15:23] BluesKaj, all others got a index=-2 [15:23] your modules show intel hda [15:23] yeah ok =-2 if you want [15:24] BluesKaj, odd, I do not, for as far as I know, have an inter soundcard. [15:24] intel* [15:26] lordievader: A lot of sound card made by other companies have an Intel audio chip inside and identify as Intel [15:26] lordievader: e.g realtek [15:27] GirlyGirl, Ah, I see [15:27] That explains it [15:29] yes lordievader , you can check by running cat /proc/asound/modules again to see which is "card 0" [15:30] snd_ca0106 is the first listed (0) [15:31] ok then you must have somethingelse interfering , unless you need pulseaudio for that card which could be the case if it's a pci card === GirlyGirl_ is now known as GirlyGirl [15:31] lordievader, suso apt-get install pulseaudio [15:32] sudo of course :) [15:32] BluesKaj, it is already installed. [15:32] isort of assumed it was already installed [15:32] ok install pavucontrol [15:32] How can I tell if my kubuntu installed version is 32 bit or 64 bit? [15:33] maria_: uname -a [15:33] BluesKaj, done so already :) [15:33]
