leo77Hey. How do I activate the desktop cube? I can see it rotating when I press the shortcut to switch to next desktop, but how do view it so it looks something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kwin-cube.jpg ?14:51
* leo77 tries in #kwin14:56
BluesKajleo77, for those effects I think you need compiz15:01
leo77wikipedia says that's Kwin's cube...15:01
jussileo77: system settings -> desktop effects15:02
jussithen "all effects"15:02
AngelForgetKubuntu 12.04 is very good15:02
leo77jussi, Um, yeah. That's where I am. If I enable "Desktop cube animation", I get to see a cube for a few milliseconds when switching..... erm never mind15:03
jussiAngelForget: please use the chat channel for non support stuff :) ( #kubuntu-offtopic)15:03
leo77Now CTRL+F11 works, but didn't do jack when I first tried it. Weird.15:03
leo77jussi, thanks15:03
AngelForgetthanks jussi15:04
jussileo77: great15:04
jussiAngelForget: yw15:04
leo77So... I installed Ubuntu first (with Unity) but I hated unity, so I installed and am using KDE. Should I be asking for support here or in #ubuntu?15:07
BluesKajhmm , ctl+f11 just pumps the screen in and out , no cube animation like shown in the wiki15:10
leo77BluesKaj, drag it with mous15:11
leo77*mouse15:11
leo77Doesn't seem to be a way to enable it with mouse alone.. That would be awesome. I used to have alt+middle button as activator in compiza :/15:11
BluesKajleo77, kde is kubuntu , make sure you install kubuntu-desktop as well15:11
leo77I did apt-get install kde-full15:12
BluesKajnope install kubuntu-desktop15:12
BluesKajdragging the mouse does nothing , with ctl+f11 here15:13
leo77Weird. Works here :/15:13

leo77Hey. When I try to run any graphic app with sudo, I get: (synaptic:2966): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:15:53
leo77(the above was when I tried sudo synaptic). How to fix that?15:53
tsimpson!kdesudo | leo7715:54
ubottuleo77: In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why15:54
leo77tsimpson, thanks, but I get the same thing after I enter the password in kdesudo15:54
tsimpsonleo77: don't run kdesudo as root either, just as your normal user15:56
leo77Well, of course. That's what I did15:56
tsimpsonare you in a GUI environment, and is the DISPLAY environment variable set in your shell session?15:56
leo77Here's what I got when I ran kdesudo: http://paste.kde.org/461030/15:57
leo77Yes, I'm in KDE, DISPLAY is set to :015:57
=== skfin_ is now known as skfin
=== skfin is now known as Guest58307
tsimpsonleo77: so you get ":0" when you run "echo $DISPLAY"?15:59
tsimpsonwhat's the output of "xhost"?15:59
leo77tsimpson, yeah, ":0". The xhost gave me nothing useful it seems: here http://paste.kde.org/461036/16:01
tsimpsonleo77: does "kdesudo xterm" work?16:04
leo77tsimpson, hm, no, but it complained DISPLAY is not set, yet is is set if I echo it with sudo: http://paste.kde.org/461042/16:05
=== Guest58307 is now known as skfin
tsimpsonleo77: what happens if you just run "xterm" normally?16:07
leo77tsimpson, I first installed this as ubuntu and then installed kde (kde-full as well as kubuntu-desktop). Maybe I'm missing some package?16:07
leo77tsimpson, running it normally works fine; it starts.16:07
tsimpsonany output on the terminal?16:07
leo77tsimpson, no16:07
tsimpsonleo77: can you run "which kdesudo; dpkg -l | grep kdesudo"16:10
leo77tsimpson, http://paste.kde.org/461048/16:10
tsimpsonleo77: is there any difference when you run "kdesudo -u daemon -c xterm" ?16:12
leo77tsimpson, nope. Asks for password, but doesn't launch anything: http://paste.kde.org/461054/16:14
tsimpsonleo77: are you connected to the system through a network (ssh/telnet/vnc/etc...)?16:16
leo77tsimpson, nope.16:16
leo77tsimpson, I was reading forums and trying stuff... long story short, I'm getting this error that I think is related to my problem:   xauth:  file /root/.Xauthority does not exist16:17
leo77How do I go about getting that file?16:17
DarthFrogleo77:  Try this: "export DISPLAY=:0 && startx"16:19
leo77Hm. If I ``su'' and launch something then, everything works :/ but not sudo16:19
tsimpsonwell sudo isn't supposed to work with GUI apps, that's why there is kdesudo16:19
tsimpsonbut it should work with kdesudo16:19
DarthFrogOops, not "startx" but "xhost +"16:19
tsimpsonleo77: do you have an ~/.Xauthority file?16:20
leo77tsimpson, yes16:20
tsimpsonstrange16:20
tsimpsonthere isn't supposed to be one in /root, only in your $HOME16:21
tsimpsonso that sounds normal16:21
leo77Ah16:21
leo77DarthFrog, that command gave me this: access control disabled, clients can connect from any host16:21
leo77DarthFrog, and I still have the same problem, when I, say, run kdesudo xterm16:22
leo77BRB, gonna reboot...16:22
leo77Still no love :/16:27
leo77It was actually working yesterday... before I installed 10GB of packages...16:30
tsimpsonleo77: I guess you should file a bug report against kdesudo (use "ubuntu-bug kdesudo")16:35
leo77I get the same problem with gksu as well16:36
leo77Interesting. If I run ``export`` as my user it works fine, but if I run it via sudo I get "sudo: export: command not found"16:40
tsimpsonexport is a bash (shell) built-in command16:41
leo77Ah16:41
tsimpsonit's not a real executable16:41

qbitthe kdesudo thing began working again for me with KDE 4.8.217:03
leo77I guess I'll just reinstall the system17:05
qbit4.8.1 and before, maybe as far back as 4.7.1 or so it was broken, this is something that every so often ends up like this and eventually some KDE update makes it work again - been that way for years17:07
leo77qbit, but if I boot into Unity and try gksu it's the same thing17:08
leo77*sigh* is there a way to "unroll" what I installed with synaptic in the last 12 hours?17:08
leo77Some package broke this, because it was working last night17:08
qbitI don't know anything about Unity or Gnome - I hate them both17:09
leo77ditto17:09
qbitwell as far as a canonical 'unroll' procedure I don't know - but I bet there may be some way to do it, never investigated as I use Clonezilla to create a backup image prior to updates likes this17:10
leo77I'm gonna nuke gnome-desktop and then full reinstall of kde-full..17:10
leo77If that fails, gonna just reinstall (it's a fresh install anyway)17:10
qbitI have a partition on the second drive to store images so if there's anything about an update I don't like I restore the previous image17:11

UbuntuNoviceit works18:09
hispeed88terminal way is working18:09
erfanianhispeed88: The Muon package manager has a lot more selection than the software center, but vlc should be in there as well so I'm not sure why it didn't work.18:10
hispeed88erfanian  ok... hmm I clicked on Muon again while I had already open one Muon and then the second Muon didn't open and crashed18:11
hispeed88is that normal?18:11
jovinare you using Kubuntu 11.10?18:11
hispeed88jovin how can i check to tell you which version?18:11

hispeed8811.1018:13
hispeed88oneiric :)18:13
erfanianhispeed88: Then no, it probably shouldn't crash. Muon has undergone quite a facelift for 12.04, however. So it may be fixed.18:14
hispeed88erfanian yes this will be a bigger thing when I update to 12.04 :D18:14
jovinWell, Muon crashed for me a lot in 11.1018:15

hispeed88erfanian I have some movies and they are quite so when i was streaming from windows vlc to my TV it and the sound I had over my Hifi (aux) then the output was not loud enough i mean the volume from my laptop to the hifi could be louder18:16
hispeed88do you know any tool for that? because when i turn-up the volume on my hifi I hear the "noise" from the aux cable/connection18:17
hispeed88I hope you understand what I mean. When I turn-up the output from my laptop I can "fix" the problem with the AUX cable18:17
erfanianTurn down the volume on your laptop and turn it up on the receiver?18:17
avihayI'm trying to talk to a microcontroller that is connected to my USB port and emulates a serial device as /dev/ttyACM0 . I managed to use minicom in the past, but I forgot the parameters to pass to it to make it work again. does anyone happen to know?18:19
hispeed88no i "can't" do that because then I hear the noise even more it's like a "brumm brumm" because of the connection of the AUX cable18:19
hispeed88that's why i want to have louder out-put on from my laptop and not from the reciever18:19
erfanianI'm not really sure as I do not have that set up. Are your receiver and laptop plugged into the same power outlet?18:20
hispeed88hmm erfanian I use an HDMI cable to stream the video on to the TV but the audio goes separtely via AUX output into my Hifi AUX-IN18:21
erfanianhispeed88: I'm only guessing because I do not have HDMI. Sometime there can be bad noise on audio cards when the speakers and audio card source are plugged into the same outlet. That's my only guess.18:22
hispeed88erfanian it's not the HDMI, it's the AUX connection which is anyway shitty but there's no other way at the moment for me18:24
hispeed88erfanian you have to use HDMI :) it's the best cable ever after v. 1.418:25
hispeed88So for today i'm done :) tomorrow -> connect to synology and windows computer :) i hope this won't be to complicated18:29
erfanianGood luck!18:30
