[00:00] Daskreech, Sound wasn't working [00:00] But there were literally no traces of problems [00:00] and I mean no trace [00:29] HelenB: How did you solve it? [00:36] HelenB: Or what wsa the solution [00:37] giantpune: Yes there is what are you trying to do? [00:39] currently on ubuntu 10.10 amd/64 and NOT wanting the gnome3 fiasco, hence I would like to know if moving to kubuntu will have the same gnome3 issues and restrictions.... anyone? [00:42] Daskreech, I solved it by muting the front controls and then unmuting. [00:43] HelenB: Ah right I remember doing that :) [00:44] cryptodira: what are the gnome restrictions? [00:47] Daskreech, i am seeing with the gnome3 interface a loss flexibility and features, ie: top and bottom bar functionality. [00:58] Daskreech, im writing a program and i want to be able to recognize a specific hard drive and treat each one differently. but i want to use something which wont be changed by formatting and creating partitions and deleting partitions and stuff like that === xezexal is now known as SolarAquarion === basso_ is now known as basso [01:44] cryptodira: Sorry stepped away Let me answer you quickly :) [01:44] Daskreech, np.... standing by. [01:45] Gnome 3 is at times polar opposite of KDE and in this case that happens to be true. KDE is remarkably flexible so much so that people have recreated Mac OSX interfaces Windows machines that fool people who use Windows all the time. THey have recreated Gnome3 and Unity so as it stands if there is something in Gnome 3 that you like you can rebuild it in KDE if you choose. [01:48] Daskreech, i have just recently moved from OS/2 warp4... and am using ubuntu 10.10 which is no longer supported....i 'think' i would like to move to kubuntu and need to know if i have to upgrade to the current ubuntu version PRIOR to doing this: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ..... ?? === cjae is now known as robotdevil === rportal_ is now known as rportal === r is now known as Guest16179 [05:28] hey there, can anyone help? [05:28] with? [05:28] I did an upgrade last week, that stuffed my KWin [05:28] thru Apper [05:29] Devenox, to what version of kubuntu [05:29] now my desktop effects don't work, can barely use this OS [05:29] 11.10 [05:29] I have an 8800GTS gfx card, running generic nvidia drivers [05:31] as you log in, the last of the 5 elements to load (Kwin/Plasma) takes ages, and doesn't load right [05:32] What do you mean doesn't load right? [05:33] the loading screen stays there as it tries to load the kde, for example my panels load with nothing there.. [05:33] and you have to move or click the mouse for KDE to kick in and display my background and panel widgets etc.. [05:34] simple stuff like the "taskbar" and icons for LAN and volume etc.. [05:34] I think everything is currently running on my CPU? [05:38] Devenox: So.. it stalls when coming to the desktop ? [05:38] kinda, but then I can use it at it's basics [05:38] like here in konsole [05:38] can run firefox and search for fixes [05:38] but there's nothing about this problem really [05:39] "KWin window manager": Desktop effects were too slow and were suspended [05:45] bonjour a tous [05:45] !fr [05:45] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [05:45] y'a t(il quelqu'un [05:46] Devenox: So the desktop doesn't really load? [05:51] yes, it does. I've just managed to get the "Additional Drivers" package working, and find the "post-release updates". The updates disabled my gfx drivers it seems [05:51] I'm about to restart and test. [06:09] hmmmm [06:09] does anyone know of anyone else having issues with recent updates disabled/messing with gfx drivers? [06:12] Yes I heard of someone with nvidia drivers having issues [06:12] yeah, my mate who helped me onto linux says that my hardware drivers weren't working [06:13] because we found a generic driver thru muon [06:13] I just did the update, and it's has made things worse [06:17] Devenox: Ha ha ok what driver are you using now? [06:19] NIVIDA accerlerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version 173-updates) [06:24] Devenox: how was that installed? [06:25] using the "Additional drivers" package [06:25] Alt + F2: "Additi.." [06:25] the recommended driver isn't working [06:25] I just restarted then === gerardobaro is now known as bargh [06:30] Devenox: Ok It should remake your /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf then [06:31] /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf: No such file or directory [06:31] heh [06:40] Devenox: Might not be bad thing [06:41] at least the work on the win-partition lol [06:42] :-) [06:42] They should work here as well I don't know why it affecting your desktop loading [06:42] You think that it's a kwin inssue? [06:42] Issue? [06:57] You can replace kwin and see if it still reacts the same way [07:15] Daskreech, :3 [07:15] Daskreech, You're seeing a refreshed version of me! [07:15] I just got up. :D [07:28] HelenB: welcome [07:28] HelenB: gald to ssee you as a nice refresh :) [07:29] THank you! :3 [07:36] HelenB: You are welcome :) [07:37] you can try something like fluxbox to see if it's a kwin issue Devenox [07:38] Daskreech, Surely they'll be a workaround in KDE if it has an issue with something. [07:38] I've always found workarounds. :D [07:38] Hey hey hey hey [07:39] He wont have Kubuntu anymore [07:39] He'll have Fubuntu! [07:39] lol Fubuntu [07:39] Did you see what I did there? :D [07:40] Ha ha [07:40] They should be a Gubuntu [07:40] flubuntu actually [07:40] there is [07:40] Gnubuntu [07:41] ? [07:41] Does it have gnome? [07:41] Yes [07:41] It's just... [07:41] a lot of people hate Unity [07:41] It was renamed to #gwensense [07:41] but now even Gnome is getting to be a hog [07:41] so I switched to Kubuntu [07:41] :D [07:41] Wait [07:42] thats #gnewsense :) [07:42] HelenB: Welcome to KDE and Kubuntu [07:42] thankies! [07:42] also... [07:42] nvm [07:42] Ah [07:42] I want to m [07:43] I think it's stupid that they renamed it. [07:43] I mean... [07:43] Gubuntu is cool [07:43] it goes with the rest of the family! [07:43] Yep but they wanted to focus more on the freedom [07:43] Gubuntu isn't even biological to the family anymore! [07:43] It's a fully Free Distro [07:43] oh [07:44] I guess someone else should make a Gubuntu [07:44] :3 [07:44] That means a lot of stuff doesn't work :) [07:44] SOmeone should [07:44] Though they cynical would just call that Debian [07:44] ya that always happens when you completely remove Unity/gnome from Ubuntu [07:44] and put something on like [07:44] lets say [07:44] dwm [07:44] you'll find your sound doesn't work anymore [07:45] you'll struggle to find things like the network manager [07:45] so basicly [07:45] you need to rebuild everything [07:45] to fix the problems [07:45] even I tried it to Ubuntu [07:45] and I got issues [07:45] lol [07:45] Yep part of the desktop depends [07:46] and why people just go with default installs [07:46] It's good that things like Ubuntu for Unity, Kubuntu for KDE, Flubuntu for fluxbox exist [07:47] because then people can just use there favourite DE, etc without problems. [07:47] lol theres even edubuntu [07:47] does that have something to do with the Kubuntu educational desktop? [07:48] Yes it does ;) [07:48] :o [07:48] so basicly it's Kubuntu but for schools? [07:48] and kids at home? [07:50] Daskreech, I'm going to be getting a test bench and a powerful mainboard [07:50] I'm going to use the test bench for easy access [07:50] to the mainboard when needed [07:50] Not really though you could you do that pretty easy [07:50] !info edubuntu-desktop-kde [07:50] edubuntu-desktop-kde (source: edubuntu-meta): educational desktop for Kubuntu.

[07:56] anyway... [07:56] I'm going to set off to college now.

[08:31] rainbow33: :-) Ok well ask any questions you like [08:32] Daskreech: thank you [08:35] Daskreech: i did have a question about an acer laptop with the intel gma chipset that was giving my room mate a hard time with no backlight after the grub menu. a simple workaround is to tap the fn+brightness key down once or more. it locks the screen into whatever setting once booted, but it is better than no backlight. is that important info, and if how should i report it? [08:36] rainbow33: what kernel? [08:38] Daskreech: any kernel after 2.6.~30. kubuntu 10.04 the backlight doesnt go out on boot, but the brighntess keys are non-functional. from 10.11, the backlight fails after the grub2 menu.

[14:29] so i can read it on other OS [14:30] like win [14:30] linux4u: It has been my experience that more than one reboot is required after an upgrade ... [14:30] I did reboot. mr-rich [14:30] hey guys, i hide an hdd from the panel of dolphin and now i don't know how to restore it :S can you help me? [14:30] and the long file name in linux would not like fat32 I think, but I remember an distro that did reside on fat32 it was not kubuntu. [14:31] linux4u: reboot again ... [14:31] several times. [14:31] not an hdd but a partition :S [14:31] windows can read/write ext3, you just need to install the driver from: http://www.fs-driver.org [14:31] kk so ext3 is better or ext4? [14:31] mr-rich, is there a log file or something? [14:31] ttyl [14:32] tsimpson: what about ext4? [14:32] linux4u: in all logs are in /var/log ...
