[00:04] <GH3> I attempted to roll back the changes, but I still can't initiate a kdm session: http://pastebin.com/X5xXkxZ5
[00:21] <tuxman_> hi all
[00:22] <tuxman_> chromium buttons
[00:22] <tuxman_> it do not show
[00:23] <tuxman_> min/restore/close buttons
[00:28] <GH3> 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] <chachan> GH3: create a new user and check whether or not it is happening...
[00:45] <GH3> It is happening on all users. But, I got it fixed.
[00:46] <GH3> 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.
[01:24] <Guest7616> !hate
[01:26] <Linkmaster> Guest7616: ?
[01:26] <Guest7616> i was trying to test the bot
[01:26] <Guest7616> if there is any...
[01:26] <Guest7616> i've seen one before in this channel
[01:27] <Unit193> Just died, actually.
[01:27] <Guest7616> sad news
[03:48] <billytwowilly> any chance 12.04 is released for the weekend?
[03:50] <billytwowilly> nope...
[03:55] <chachan> and waiting for the new release to format my PC, I'm with this OS (upgrading it) since 10.04
[03:56] <chachan> and the performance isn't the same =/
[04:34] <len> 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] <len> In case anyone is   confused, it looks like I was responding to some posts from many, many hours ago.
[05:23] <zorobabel> what is Blue Systems?
[05:53] <mr-rich> zorobabel: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=%22blue+systems%22
[05:56] <Tm_T> mr-rich: lmgtfy is considered rude here, so please don't use it
[05:57] <mr-rich> rude? why?
[05:57] <Tm_T> people ask here to get help, not to get told "google it"
[05:58] <Tm_T> (we can continue this discussion in -offtopic or some other more suitable place if you want)
[06:00] <zorobabel> can't Google anyway here
[06:02] <mr-rich> 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] <mr-rich> zorobabel: Work computer?
[06:03] <zorobabel> yes
[06:03] <zorobabel> I was just curious and didn't intend to start some kind of argument, no answer was necessary for that matter
[06:06] <mr-rich> 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] <zorobabel> it's actually the work internet connection
[06:07] <zorobabel> 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
[06:08] <mr-rich> zorobabel: what about duckduckgo?
[06:09] <GirlyGirl> zorobabel: Try changing the dns to "8.8.8.8" and "8.8.4.4" (Google public dns)
[06:11] <zorobabel> duckduckgo works
[06:14] <mr-rich> try "blue systems" in duckduckgo or just go to www.bluesystems.com if you can ...
[06:18] <GirlyGirl> zorobabel: What happens when you ping google and the rest?
[07:06] <Riddell> bkerensa: pong
[07:19] <Daskreech> Riddell: Don't you hate contentless pings?
[07:23] <Riddell> Daskreech: I prefer to void hatred, it suggests something isn't understood
[07:28] <Daskreech> Riddell: don't you $(/dev/null) contentless pings ?
[08:06] <len> 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] <len> http://agateau.com/2012/04/11/into-the-blue/
[08:07] <len> The long dark days of second class citizenship seem to be over.
[08:08] <len> I guess sometimes dark clouds really do have silver linings.
[08:09] <GirlyGirl> len: Don't expect much changes so soon
[08:13] <len> 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] <len> and it looks like they'll have the resources to do so.
[08:19] <len> 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."
[08:27] <len> 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] <Daskreech> Metro will probably save Microsoft
[08:28] <Daskreech>  but I expect Windows 8 to be met with trepidation
[08:28] <Daskreech> But Hooray Blue Systems ! :)
[08:29] <len> I don't know many people who want to pretend their 22" desktop monitor is a 10" touch screen.
[08:29] <len> People wouldn't be fleeing Unity and gnome 3 if that were the case.
[08:30] <lordievader> I'm not sure if Metro will save Microsoft, for a tablet it is good, but for a desktop?
[08:31] <GirlyGirl> 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] <GirlyGirl> So its a win win situation
[08:32] <len> Oh yeah, Microsoft has only produced, Windows ME, BOB, and Vista.  They don't put out any pure flops :)
[08:32] <Daskreech> 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] <Daskreech> Other than having people call me because Vista sucks
[08:33] <GirlyGirl> 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] <GirlyGirl> edit: #-offtopic not devel lol
[08:33] <Tm_T> GirlyGirl: still
[08:34] <Daskreech> GirlyGirl: policy (which I suppose after April we don't have to live by \o/)
[08:34] <Tm_T> Daskreech: huh?
[08:34] <Daskreech> Tm_T: We'd be like fluxbuntu
[08:34] <jussi> no, like Xubuntu
[08:34] <Tm_T> ^
[08:34] <Tm_T> status of Kubuntu isn't changing really
[08:35] <jussi> anyways, -> #kubuntu-offtopic
[08:35] <len> 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] <Daskreech> len: Yes but it does hurt people looking for help
[08:39] <GirlyGirl> 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] <Tm_T> GirlyGirl: this is wrong place to discuss this (so let's stop the offtopic here) (:
[08:40] <len> 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] <Tm_T> len: see my previous comment (:
[08:43] <len> 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] <Daskreech> len: Pretty good discussion in -offtopic btw
[09:37] <orangblume> helloooo

[09:54] <Daskreech> orangblume: Beta 2
[09:55] <Mamarok> orangblume: and if you are not using KDE, then you should ask your questions in #ubuntu
[09:55] <orangblume> nobody said thati   do not use KUBUNTU
[09:55] <Mamarok> also 12.04 questions should go to #ubuntu+1, and please behave there as well

[09:59] <orangblume> ok
[09:59] <GirlyGirl> mmc2: Use muon to unistall software or apt-get in command line
[09:59] <orangblume> mmc2: ask please
[09:59] <Daskreech> mmc2: What is your issue?
[09:59] <GirlyGirl> mmc2: You can search for muon in the KDE menu
[09:59] <mmc2> I've uninstalled postgres and pgadm3, had some setting up issues so uninstalled them through terminal
[09:59] <GirlyGirl> mmc2: and ....
[09:59] <mmc2> I dont see them any more in muon
[10:00] <mmc2> which is OK
[10:00] <GirlyGirl> !enter | mmc2
[10:00] <mmc2> but I still have them in kmenu
[10:00] <GirlyGirl> mmc2: Does it launch from kmenu?
[10:00] <mmc2> yes it does
[10:01] <GirlyGirl> mmc2: What command did you use to unistall?
[10:01] <mmc2> sudo apt-get --purge remove
[10:02] <Daskreech> mmc2: for which packages?
[10:02] <mmc2> there were 3 packages for postgres
[10:03] <mmc2> and 1 for pgadmin3
[10:04] <Daskreech> yes could you give the package names ?
[10:04] <mmc2> sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql-9.1 postgresql-client-9.1 postgresql-client-common postgresql-common
[10:04] <mmc2> i did that after dpkg -l | grep postgres
[10:05] <Daskreech> mmc2: could you run sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
[10:05] <Daskreech> Or don't use the --purge
[10:05] <Daskreech> I dont know the state of your packages
[10:06] <mmc2> Reading package lists... Done
[10:06] <mmc2> Building dependency tree
[10:06] <mmc2> Reading state information... Done
[10:06] <mmc2> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[10:07] <Daskreech> mmc2: if you type postgr and press tab twice do you get a response ?
[10:07] <mmc2> where do I type it
[10:07] <mmc2> terminal?
[10:08] <GirlyGirl> mmc2: yes
[10:08] <mmc2> nothing happens
[10:09] <Daskreech> Hmm
[10:09] <Daskreech> So what is running when you click in menu ?
[10:09] <Daskreech> Kmenu
[10:10] <mmc2> I still have postgres and pgadmin under applications i kmenu and can run it
[10:10] <mmc2> in kmenu
[10:10] <Daskreech> What do you see when you run it?
[10:11] <mmc2> it starts the software
[10:11] <Daskreech> Hmm
[10:11] <Mamarok> that makes no sense
[10:11] <Daskreech> can you press alt+f2 and type kmenuedit
[10:11] <mmc2> I'd give you, if you want a teamviewer pass and check it out for yourself
[10:12] <mmc2> yes and
[10:12] <Daskreech> no need as yet just trying to figure out if you have locally manual installed packages
[10:12] <Daskreech> Ok find the entry for postgres and see what target it's running
[10:14] <mmc2> is this what you are looking for /opt/PostgreSQL/8.3/scripts/launchpgadmin.sh
[10:15] <Daskreech> mmc2: That's what I thought. you or someone using the computer installed Postgresql from the website
[10:15] <Daskreech> It was intaled manually so it should be removed manually
[10:15] <mmc2> ok, how do I do it
[10:16] <Daskreech> mmc2: would depend on how it was installed So look at the documentation in /opt/PostgreSQL
[10:16] <mmc2> ok, any other suggestions
[10:17] <Daskreech> I could say rm -r /opt/PostgreSQL but that would be irresponsible of me :)
[10:17] <mmc2> :) thanks
[10:18] <Daskreech> mmc2: There will probably be a README file in the directory or a uninstall script
[10:18] <Daskreech> that would be a better path if you want to run the equivalent of a --purge
[10:18] <mmc2> i found the uninstall script, what can i do with it
[10:19] <Daskreech> mmc2: did you just see it or did you read something that pointed you to it?
[10:20] <mmc2> well, I'm looking at it right now
[10:20] <Daskreech> mmc2: so you just saw it ? :) ok Cd into the directory that it exists in
[10:22] <Daskreech> mmc2: is it called uninstall ?
[10:23] <Daskreech> or uninstall.sh or something ?
[10:23] <mmc2> ok, I'm there, its called uninstall-postgresql
[10:26] <Daskreech> mmc2: alright try ./uninstall-postgresql --help
[10:27] <mmc2> it gives me this: Usage:

[10:30] <mmc2> poped out a uninstall window, thanks a lot
[10:30] <Daskreech> OK
[10:30] <Daskreech> Enjoy :)
[10:30] <mmc2> just one more, queestion
[10:31] <Daskreech> yes
[10:31] <mmc2> if I install manually I have to uninstall manually
[10:31] <Daskreech> mmc2: correct
[10:31] <Daskreech> In a general sense
[10:31] <mmc2> thanks a lot again
[10:32] <GirlyGirl> HelenB: Did you get your theme issue sorted out?
[10:32] <Daskreech> 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] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, no not yet.
[10:32] <HelenB> although I prefer KDE to gnome. :3
[10:35] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, I have a nice plastic theme. :3
[10:36] <GirlyGirl> HelenB: Plastique was the old theme in KDE 3x but if it suits you its fine.
[10:37] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, It's called Plastik and it's still there! :3
[10:38] <GirlyGirl> I know its a kde 4 port
[10:38] <GirlyGirl> It uses less resources too so if you like the look then good for you
[10:44] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, All the geeks at college tend to be noobs
[10:44] <HelenB> and last time I showed them a KDE desktop
[10:44] <HelenB> they said "That's Windows 7"
[10:45] <HelenB> so I said "No it's NOT it's KDE!"
[10:45] <HelenB> and they went
[10:45] <HelenB> No it's not it's Windows 7
[10:45] <HelenB> so I started showing them the difference between Windows 7 and my screenshot
[10:45] <HelenB> and they were STILL convinced it was Windows 7!
[10:45] <HelenB> lol
[10:47] <xuelang> ai
[10:47] <Daskreech> hi
[10:49] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, Hardly anyone at college have used Linux. lol
[10:50] <HelenB> Hardly anyone in England have used Linux.
[10:50] <HelenB> sorry for being offtopic
[10:50] <HelenB> I'll shut up now. lol
[10:52] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, Just respond to me in the offtopic channel if you want to I joined.

[14:05] <lordievader> Hello
[14:06] <lordievader> Could someone assist me in fixing a problem I have with my Soundblaster?
[14:08] <GirlyGirl_> !question | lordievader
[14:08] <BluesKaj> hi lordievader . what's the problem ?
[14:09] <lordievader> 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] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: provide a screenshot of "alsamixer" in terminal
[14:12] <BluesKaj> 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] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, hold on, I just removed the card in the hope that booting it without and then reinstalling it would fix it.
[14:13] <lordievader> Just a minute
[14:16] <GirlyGirl_> !paste
[14:19] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: Did you provided the screenshot ... sorry I got disconnected
[14:20] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, still in the process of removing and reinserting the card...
[14:20] <lordievader> My pc isn't fast like those newer ones :P
[14:21] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: I have a 2009 netbook here and its fast enough to do a lot of things except gaming
[14:22] <lordievader> Ok well that didn't work, Ill get you a screencap of alsamixer
[14:23] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: use  http://imagebin.org/?page=add
[14:24] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, here you go: http://imagebin.org/207723
[14:25] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: Seems good, did you install anything lately?
[14:25] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, No, not that I can remember.
[14:26] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: Also System Settings > Multimedia > Phonon .. press the test button and see if an error message pops up
[14:26] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, btw the pulseaudio volume meter does show that there is output, just that I do not hear anything.
[14:27] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, the test button does not give error, nor do I hear anything.
[14:27] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: install pavucontrol
[14:28] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, already done that, that does show there is/should be output
[14:28] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: Stupid question but are your speakers working?
[14:29] <lordievader> My headphone is indeed working, and so is the soundcard itself. In windows everything works fine.
[14:30] <AceKing> How do I get the grub menu to show when I startup?
[14:31] <BluesKaj> 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] <GirlyGirl_> AceKing: press esc
[14:31] <AceKing> GirlyGirl_: Thank you!
[14:32] <GirlyGirl_> Is there an easy way to convert an html5 webap into a plasmoid ... in this case html5.grooveshark.com
[14:33] <lordievader> BluesKaj, there are more, and yes I have clicked the soundblaster stereo one, all other soundblaster ones are grayed out.
[14:34] <lordievader> BluesKaj, hmm I see now that there are two listings of CA0106 Soundblaster Analogue Stereo, one grayed out one not...
[14:34] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: Did you ever get a message on login asking whether kde should forget about some sound devices?
[14:35] <BluesKaj> lordievader, can you pastebin a scrnshot of the device preference
[14:35] <lordievader> Yeah after disabling the onboard one
[14:36] <BluesKaj> ahh, ok your also config file is probly still listing the onboard as default
[14:36] <BluesKaj> alsa config
[14:36] <lordievader> BluesKaj, http://imagebin.org/207725
[14:37] <lordievader> 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] <BluesKaj> lordievader, cat /proc/asound/modules
[14:43] <HelenB> I need a screen recorder.
[14:43] <HelenB> non of them work right.
[14:44] <lordievader> BluesKaj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/926504/
[14:45] <GirlyGirl_> HelenB: What problems do you have with recorditnow
[14:46] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, When I open the ogv file in VLC
[14:46] <HelenB> it doesn't play
[14:46] <HelenB> and it doesn't give any error
[14:47] <BluesKaj> lordievader, sudo modprobe snd_ca0106
[14:48] <lordievader> BluesKaj, this command doesn't return anything, should it?
[14:48] <GirlyGirl_> HelenB: Try kazam
[14:49] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[14:49] <BluesKaj> lordievader, no it shouldn't
[14:49] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, How do I install it?
[14:49] <HelenB> what is it's package name?
[14:50] <GirlyGirl_> HelenB: apt-get install
[14:50] <HelenB> I know
[14:50] <HelenB> but it can't be found.
[14:51] <GirlyGirl_> HelenB: Maybe its only in precise
[14:51] <GirlyGirl_> HelenB: brb
[14:51] <HelenB> kay
[14:51] <HelenB> :(
[14:52] <HelenB> How do I upgrade to beta 2 precise?
[15:06] <BluesKaj> 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] <BluesKaj> lordievader, use root permissions when opening that file
[15:07] <lordievader> BluesKaj, and then a reboot?
[15:07] <BluesKaj> lordievader, that line makes you soundblaster driver/card the default
[15:08] <BluesKaj> you can reboot , or run sudo alsa -force reload
[15:10] <lordievader> BluesKaj, Im afraid to say that didn't fix it...
[15:11] <BluesKaj> what didn't fix it ..the reload ?
[15:11] <BluesKaj> them reboot
[15:11] <lordievader> yes
[15:11] <BluesKaj> then
[15:12] <BluesKaj> reload doesn't always work for some reason
[15:12] <lordievader> And here it didn't either, now rebooting.
[15:14] <BluesKaj> lordievader, after rebooting , check your phonon device preferences again to make sure you chosen device tests ok .
[15:16] <lordievader> BluesKaj, nope still nothing...
[15:16] <BluesKaj> lordievader, did you see my post above?
[15:17] <BluesKaj> about phonon prewferences?
[15:17] <lordievader> about the chosen device? Yes, I dont hear anything
[15:17] <BluesKaj> are there any other choices ?
[15:18] <lordievader> BluesKaj, No, but I must say in the hardware setup I turned the others off
[15:18] <GirlyGirl_> 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] <BluesKaj> lordievader, do you mean the intel hda
[15:19] <lordievader> BluesKaj, No, the internal audio (a realtek chip) and the hdmi out of my videocard.
[15:22] <BluesKaj> 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] <lordievader> BluesKaj, all others got a index=-2
[15:23] <BluesKaj> your modules show intel hda
[15:23] <BluesKaj> yeah ok =-2 if you want
[15:24] <lordievader> BluesKaj, odd, I do not, for as far as I know, have an inter soundcard.
[15:24] <lordievader> intel*
[15:26] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: A lot of sound card made by other companies have an Intel audio chip inside and identify as Intel
[15:26] <GirlyGirl_> lordievader: e.g realtek
[15:27] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, Ah, I see
[15:27] <lordievader> That explains it
[15:29] <BluesKaj> yes lordievader , you can check by running cat /proc/asound/modules again to see which is "card 0"
[15:30] <lordievader> snd_ca0106 is the first listed (0)
[15:31] <BluesKaj> 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
[15:31] <BluesKaj> lordievader, suso apt-get install pulseaudio
[15:32] <BluesKaj> sudo of course :)
[15:32] <lordievader> BluesKaj, it is already installed.
[15:32] <BluesKaj>  isort of assumed it was already installed
[15:32] <BluesKaj> ok install pavucontrol
[15:32] <maria_> How can I tell if my kubuntu installed version is 32 bit or 64 bit?
[15:33] <GirlyGirl> maria_: uname -a
[15:33] <lordievader> BluesKaj, done so already :)
[15:33] <maria_> GirlyGirl: Thanks
[15:33] <BluesKaj> check your connections to the card , lordievader
[15:34] <lordievader> BluesKaj, they are good, in windows it works...
[15:35] <BluesKaj> which soundblaster card model#
[15:35] <BluesKaj> wonder if we have the right driver
[15:35] <lordievader> BluesKaj, phew an Audigy 2 LE? From the top of my head.
[15:35] <lordievader> It did work before, a few days ago.
[15:38] <lordievader> BluesKaj, perhaps this is usefull when running phonon from the terminal and going to the hardware setup and clicking front left, in the terminal a message shows: Unkown PCM 2
[15:40] <BluesKaj> lordievader, what kind of connection, spdif digital pcm or analog ?
[15:40] <lordievader> BluesKaj, just analog
[15:41] <BluesKaj> lordievader, ok , this will give us the active default card, sudo aplay -l
[15:42] <lordievader> BluesKaj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/926600/
[15:42] <BluesKaj> I suspect the wrong soundblaster driver is installed
[15:43] <lordievader> Could very well be, someone on a forum suggested to reinitialize alsa: I got this message http://paste.ubuntu.com/926601/
[15:47] <BluesKaj> lordievader, you should really take some time to find out the the card's actual model # ...suspect the diver is wrong , especially if it's the Audigy series
[15:47] <lordievader> But first it did work, with the same driver I believe.
[15:48] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: If you plan to update to precise on the 26th with a fresh install it might be wiser to not waste time on this now
[15:49] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, perhaps you are right, thank you for your effort. BluesKaj thank you for your effort.
[15:52] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: Also check settings in this tab in System Settings http://imagebin.org/207730
[15:52] <BluesKaj> lordievader, the Audigy series soundcards are more difficult to setup , but check your pavucontrol to make sure your outputs and device selections are correct , first
[15:55] <lordievader> Thank you, it does all seem to be setup right... We'll just see if it will work in 12
[15:55] <lordievader> 12.04 if it is released...
[15:55] <BluesKaj> i still suspect the wrong driver for your card
[15:56] <lordievader> BluesKaj, but then why would the system one day decide to load a wrong driver?
[15:58] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: Try "sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio" then "rm -rf .pulse" then "sudo apt-get install pulseaudio" , reboot
[16:01] <BluesKaj> lordievader, dunno why it happens but I have seen this with pci soundcards before .. the wrong driver is somehow applied by the kernal module
[16:02] <GirlyGirl> BluesKaj: If that is the case simply check the logs and see if a different driver is being loaded
[16:04] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: Try those commands, if that fails when I had a similar problem with a pci card , I unplugged the pci card, booted Kubuntu, told kde to forget about the device, then plugged the card back and it worked
[16:04] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, I have already tried the unplugging trick, it failed...
[16:06] <BluesKaj> lordievader, have you updated / upgraded since installing the card?
[16:06] <lordievader> BluesKaj, what do you mean?
[16:06] <lordievader> The card has been in there since the fresh install... or do you mean the unplug trick?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> perhaps there module updates for the driver
[16:08] <BluesKaj> some of the newer kernels might have a an updated kernel source driver
[16:08] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: Did you try "rm -rf .pulse" then "killall pulseaudio"
[16:09] <BluesKaj> maybe that old trick will , GirlyGirl , but I haven't seen it work in a while
[16:09] <lordievader> BluesKaj, I tried booting into an earlier kernel, same problem. GirlyGirl I'm now rebooting with a fresh install of pulseaudio, after deleting the folder.
[16:10] <BluesKaj> ok ..bbl , things to do for a few mins
[16:12] <maria_> Everytime I open up File Manager, I get this message: Configuration file "/home/maria/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator. Is there a way to fix this?
[16:13] <GirlyGirl>  maria_Probably bad permissions, did you ever do "sudo dolphin" instead of "kdesudo dolhin"?
[16:14] <maria_> GirlyGirl: Yes, I did Sudo Dolphin
[16:15] <GirlyGirl> maria_: Avoid using sudo for kde applications! It uses config files of your user instead of the root ones
[16:16] <GirlyGirl> maria_: Change the permissions of the dolhinrc file to your user
[16:16] <maria_> GirlyGirl: Ok, so I should use kdesudo instead when I need to?
[16:16] <GirlyGirl> maria_: yes
[16:16] <maria_> GirlyGirl: Is there a way to fix my screwup?
[16:17] <GirlyGirl> maria_: If you don't want to change the file permission and don't mind setting dolphin to default settings, do "rm /home/maria/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc"
[16:17] <lordievader> Hmm the reinstall of pulse didn't fix it... I guess I'll have to switch to my onboard card then... too bad :(
[16:17] <maria_> GirlyGirl: Thank you!
[16:17] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: until precise possibly unless it doesn't work there
[16:18] <lordievader> That would be strange, until a few days ago it did work in (k)ubuntu
[16:18] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: Did it stop after an update?
[16:18] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: Normally if pulse detects the playback, it should work!
[16:18] <lordievader> Im not really sure when it stopped.
[16:19] <maria_> GirlyGirl: That worked! You are the best, and thank you for explaining the correct command to use.
[16:19] <lordievader> GirlyGirl, that's what I'd say, yet nothing is to be heard.
[16:19] <GirlyGirl> lordievader: Or maybe you can just remove pulseaudio and reboot, it should then use alsa ... if it still doesn't work its probably a bad driver
[16:20] <lordievader> I'll just wait for 12.04, but thanks for the help :)
[16:26] <Mamarok> lordievader: do you have pavucontrol installed?
[16:26] <lordievader> Mamarok, Yes
[16:27] <lordievader> Mamarok, shows it all playing, and everything is all right, just that nothing is heard...
[16:27] <Mamarok> and it outputs to the correct device?
[16:27] <Mamarok> nothing muted in Alsa or KMix?
[16:27] <lordievader> Mamarok, nope.
[16:28] <Mamarok> might be indeed a driver problem, then. Did that card work before?
[16:28] <lordievader> Mamarok, jup it did.
[16:28] <Mamarok> just let me read all the backlog, moment
[16:28] <lordievader> Mamarok, I'll just freshly install 12.04 and untill then use the onboard card...
[16:32] <lordievader> Got to go, thanks for all the help :)
[16:35] <doa> 需要安装老版本的gcc-2.95.2  哪位大牛有经验那
[16:35] <BluesKaj> !cn | doa
[16:37] <doa> sorry
[16:37] <doa> i want wo install gcc-2.95.2, an old release of gcc
[16:38] <doa> who can help me?
[16:38] <GirlyGirl> doa: Why?
[16:39] <doa> I need the version to complile one kind of os kernel calles l4ka
[16:39] <doa> GirlyGirl: do you have any experience?
[16:40] <GirlyGirl> doa: Its a bad idea compiling non ubuntu kernels and using an old version of gcc so it is not recommended nor supported
[16:43] <GirlyGirl> doa: Why do you need another kernel?
[16:44] <doa> l4ka is one kind of microkernel,      I am doing research on it
[16:45] <GirlyGirl> doa: But wait ... l4ka is not a linux kernel and won't work on ubuntu
[16:45] <GirlyGirl> So you do not plan to use the kernel with ubuntu then?
[16:45] <doa> but the l4ka team recommand gcc-2.95.2
[16:46] <GirlyGirl> doa: Use the binary formats here http://www.l4ka.org/154.php no need to compile
[16:46] <GirlyGirl> doa: Also the project seems dead
[16:47] <GirlyGirl> doa: It should compile with newer gcc to possibly
[16:47] <doa> GirlyGirl: maybe, but then?  any non ubuntu question  cannnot be asked here?
[16:48] <GirlyGirl> doa: it can ... like how to compile... I thought you wanted to replace ubuntu's kernel with l4ka
[16:48] <doa> GirlyGirl: I have tryed  ,but failed.  if i Use the binary formats,then i cannot  modify it
[16:49] <GirlyGirl> doa: Doesn't it compile with newer gcc versions?
[16:50] <doa> GirlyGirl:  for now ,I just want to do some research, maybe later i will do something for gnu/hurd
[16:50] <GirlyGirl> doa: Doesn't it compile with newer gcc versions?
[16:51] <doa> http://www.l4ka.org/154.php 。at bottom, it says"To compile L4Ka you need gcc 2.95.2 and binutils 2.9.5"
[16:53] <tsimpson> doa: that's the minimum you need, try with the current version of gcc and binutils
[16:53] <tsimpson> you won't get gcc 2.x unless you compile and install it yourself, which is not exactly trivial
[16:53] <doa> first i should say sorry. my english is so so  I have some trouble in commulating with english
[16:54] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, I can't frehshly install and I've always upgraded the proper way. hmm
[16:54] <GirlyGirl> doa: Try #ubuntu-cn
[16:57] <doa> GirlyGirl: I have tryed the current version of gcc and binutils. but when I completed compile , one programme named roottask is missing.
[16:57] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[16:57] <doa> this is http://www.l4ka.org/120.php
[16:59] <doa> this is  about how to built and boot l4ka http://www.l4ka.org/120.php
[16:59] <doa> no one  answer me on #ubutnu-cn
[17:03] <doa> tsimpson: when I install by myself ,I have trouble
[17:03] <doa> tsimpson: do you have any course about this?
[17:05] <phoenix_firebrd> Need a video converter for converting videos to mp4 for mobile, i am using a 64 bit OS
[17:07] <tsimpson> doa: sorry, I don't know enough about it to help
[17:09] <doa> tsimpson: ok, thank you anyway
[17:10] <wgosling> 'handbrake' was pretty good and straightforeward last i used it.
[17:10] <phoenix_firebrd> wgosling: is it in the repository ?
[17:12] <wgosling> It might be. I'm not on a kubuntu machine atm
[17:13] <wgosling> I checked packages.ubuntu.com  and it appears that it is not!
[17:13] <tsimpson> phoenix_firebrd: ffmpeg is pretty easy to use "ffmpeg -i input_file output_file.mp4"
[17:14] <phoenix_firebrd> tsimpson: i used the winff frontend its not working due to some codec problem
[17:14] <phoenix_firebrd> wgosling:  i am going to install from ppa
[17:18] <phoenix_firebrd> wgosling: handbrake doesnt have a ppa for 12.04
[17:19] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, if you don't mind using the cli , ffmpeg can convert the file to mp4 , just name the target file  .mp4
[17:19] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: let me try
[17:21] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1839841/convert-a-video-to-mp4-h-264-aac-with-ffmpeg
[17:21] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, just an example ^
[17:22] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: that says h264 conversion is not possible due to patent issues
[17:23] <Aprogas> Using kde-config-grub2 (kcm-grub2) I am trying to change the colors of GRUB2 to green (in the appearance tab), yet GRUB2 stays lightblue. Other changes (e.g. resolution or default-boot) do get applied.
[17:25] <Aprogas> My color changes do get written to /etc/default/grub but I'm not sure whether GRUB reads that file.
[17:26] <wgosling> Hmm. Try running `sudo update-grub` and see if that fixes things. The kcm probably isn't running that (and it should, imo).
[17:27] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:27] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: already installed
[17:28] <Aprogas> The output of update-grub2 looks very similar to the Details-dropdown in the KCM after pressing Apply.
[17:28] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: going to try x264
[17:29] <Aprogas> I still have the blue colors instead of green. I'm thinking maybe the colors only apply to text-mode, or some sort of theme is overriding them.
[17:30] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, mp4 is apple , you may have to convert to another codec that works on your mobile device
[17:31] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: vlc is providing x264
[17:31] <BluesKaj> cool
[17:31] <phoenix_firebrd> ya
[17:31] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, good to know , I haven't used vlc to convert in a while , I'll have to check it out
[17:33] <BluesKaj> not that i need to ..no smart phones , just plain cell phone here
[17:34] <nimdae> добрый вечер всем )
[17:34] <Unit193> !ru
[17:36] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: nice, i do use my phone for just calls, its for my friend. I don't want to get my eyes spoiled :)
[17:58] <Aprogas> Apparently the blue background in GRUB is actually "/black" which means transparent. It's a different shade of blue than the GRUB colors blue/lightblue/cyan.
[18:00] <Aprogas> I'm thinking the 05-debian-theme file does not honour the colors in /etc/default/grub in most circumstances.
[18:22] <maria_> I just added a second user on my PC running Kubuntu 11.10. Is there a way to have a drop down box so I don't have to type in the usernames everytime when signing in?
[18:26] <Aprogas> In System Settings > Login Screen there are options Show list and Autocompletion. They may be of use to you.
[18:28] <maria_> Aprogas: Thank you
[18:31] <phoenix_firebrd> maria_: disable themed greeter and use dialog
[18:32] <maria_> phoenix_firebrd: OK, do I do that in system settings/login screen?
[18:34] <maria_> phoenix_firebrd: I found it. So if I just uncheck the box it should work?
[18:41] <ct529> BluesKaj: yofel: Ping!
[18:41] <yofel> pong (somewhat, I'm rather busy right now)

[20:26] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, Python is just as powerful
[20:26] <HelenB> erm
[20:26] <HelenB> PHP sorry
[20:26] <HelenB> tsimpson, I sent you an invite. :3
[20:52] <ybit> what's the process of configuring all your connections to go through a local proxy?
[20:52] <ybit> i'm guessing it has to do something with this screen and maybe something else http://image.bayimg.com/oaoanaada.jpg
[20:58] <ybit> i'm trying to configure all my traffic to go through tor
[21:00] <tsimpson> !tor
[21:00] <tsimpson> ybit: see the above link
[21:02] <ybit> tsimpson: installing and using isn't a problem
[21:04] <ybit> i'm wondering if by specifying a socks host i'm actually using the installed proxy with all connections
[21:04] <ybit> s/host/proxy
[21:30] <mcamaret> using the icon-only task manager plasmoid, is it possible to make a launcher matching rule mandatory so that I can make chromium webapps come up under their own icon?
[21:30] <mcamaret> I would like to see readability as readability, not another chromium window.
[21:51] <computeruser> anyone connecting to NFS server using WiFI in Kubuntu 12.04?
[22:21] <user26> Hello. I'm running Beta2 and it appears that my screen resolution is bigger than where my mouse can go, because I am no longer able to use edge effects. Is there a way to fix this?
[22:26] <avihay> user26: I think you can manually redefine your geometry with xrandr
[22:27] <user26> avihay: I tried to set it a few pixels short but it said it wasn't an acceptable resolution.
[22:28] <avihay> and there's a dedicated channel to the next version that might supply you with more information. something like #ubuntu+1 I don't know the KDE equivlent
[22:29] <wgosling> user26: can your mouse move past any of the edges of your screen?
[22:30] <avihay> I havn't played that much with xrandr, but you can set the resolution of the real screen and the virtual screen separately, the real screen should have real world limits, and you should be able to set the virtual one to what you want/need and set up follow mouse or something like that
[22:31] <user26> wgosling: Negative. But when I set it for a lower resolution the screen edges work as expected.
[22:36] <user26> avihay: That doesn't seem to do it either.
[22:36] <avihay> :-<
[22:43] <user26> avihay: The really weird thing is that the "switch desktop on edge" function does work when it is enabled.
