| urlwolf | looks like recent versions of kde leave power management to the OS. I don't think there's CPU scaling by deeauld | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| urlwolf | my laptop runs really hot, is there any way to get it to run cooler with cpu scaling? (i7 HP 8034w) | 00:17 |
| pepee | urlwolf, there was an app I was using, but I don't remember which was :/ | 00:22 |

| pepee | urlwolf, nah. System Settings/Power Management | 00:23 |
| urlwolf | also, I cannot access the virtual terminals (ctrl alt F1-F6), why is that? | 00:26 |
| urlwolf | pepee: I can see it in system settings, but it doesn't let me change profile | 00:27 |
| urlwolf | what's there enables one to set up what happens 'on ac power' 'on battery' etc but not changing the current profile to any | 00:28 |
| dbc254 | another process is using the update package is the msg, but I don't have anything else open!?!?! | 00:29 |
| pepee | urlwolf, there is no error msg? in mine says "power management configuration module could not be loaded" | 00:31 |
| urlwolf | no error | 00:32 |
| pepee | urlwolf, also, you should be able to switch vt's. I don't know why you can't | 00:32 |
| urlwolf | what shortcut are you using? | 00:32 |
| pepee | urlwolf, ctrl+alt+F1 | 00:33 |
| urlwolf | maybe there's a setting somewhere to castrate the VTs? I'm using that one, nothing happens | 00:33 |
| pepee | dbc254, in the terminal: ps ax | grep -E 'apt|dpkg' | 00:34 |
| pepee | dbc254, use pastebin | 00:34 |
| urlwolf | I have 'enable autologin' in the login manager. Maybe that killed my VTs? | 00:35 |
| pepee | urlwolf, problem is, I'm not using kde right now | 00:35 |
| pepee | urlwolf, no, it shouldn't | 00:35 |
| pepee | urlwolf, not even a blank screen? | 00:35 |
| urlwolf | first time I'm away from VTs, on any system | 00:35 |
| urlwolf | nope | 00:35 |
| urlwolf | maybe i accidentally overwrote the shortcuts for VTs? | 00:36 |
| pepee | urlwolf, yeah, could be | 00:37 |
| DorkVader | yo, does kubuntu or ubuntu have a software firewall running by default? | 00:37 |
| pepee | dbc254, run this in the terminal (alt+f2, then type konsole): ps ax | grep -E 'apt|dpkg' | 00:37 |
| urlwolf | nope, syssettings doesn't allow me to use ctrl alt F1 as shortcut | 00:37 |
| pepee | DorkVader, shouldn't, I think. ubuntu comes with ufw | 00:38 |
| DorkVader | hm...... I can't communicate with a local virtualbox VM on port 9000... I have it NAT'd in virtual box, I have done this quite a few times and it has always worked... I am wondering if there is a firewall or something in the way | 00:38 |

| === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 | ||
| DorkVader | pepee: Yeah, good call.. the guest has no IP, or /dev/eth0... :( | 00:42 |
| pepee | DorkVader, ask in #vbox | 00:42 |
| pepee | DorkVader, use dhclient in the guest vm | 00:43 |
| pepee | dbc254, again, run this in the terminal (alt+f2, then type konsole): ps ax | grep -E 'apt|dpkg' | 00:44 |
| pepee | dbc254, talk in the channel, please | 00:44 |
| DorkVader | pepee: Yeah, I've tried that, not bringing up a /dev/eth0 on ifconfig... not giving any errors or warnings when I run dhclient. When I run lsmod, the e1000 package is listed. Virtualbox is set to use an Intel pro 1000 ethernet card | 00:44 |
| pepee | no errors from dhclient? check IP again | 00:45 |
| pepee | also, use the dhclient -v | 00:45 |
| DorkVader | ah, ok, good call, "No broadcast interfaces found" | 00:46 |
| pepee | ifconfig eth0 up ? | 00:47 |
| pepee | or "connec the cable" in vbox | 00:47 |
| pepee | dbc254, no output from that command? | 00:47 |
| dbc254 | nope | 00:48 |
| dbc254 | pepee, should've stayed with 11.04? | 00:48 |
| pepee | dbc254, nah | 00:48 |
| pepee | dbc254, try running sudo apt-get update | 00:49 |
| dbc254 | ran sudo apt-get update | 00:49 |
| dbc254 | what's aptitude? | 00:49 |
| LawnMowersSuck | i'm not sure what the deal is, but off and on, when there are Qt updates, they cause the fan on my net-top to run constantly. then the next round of Qt4 updates stop that. it seems to always be back and forth. | 00:50 |
| pepee | dbc254, another package manager | 00:51 |
| dbc254 | is it any better than this muon crap? | 00:51 |
| LawnMowersSuck | does aptitude have support for multi-arch yet? | 00:51 |
| pepee | dbc254, muon uses apt-get, I suppose | 00:52 |
| pepee | dbc254, aptitude is a command line package manager | 00:52 |
| LawnMowersSuck | dbc254: if you are wanting a decent graphical package manager, you should stick with synaptic. | 00:52 |
| dbc254 | muon be moron for me. . . | 00:52 |
| LawnMowersSuck | muon sucks, and probably always will. | 00:53 |
| pepee | LawnMowersSuck, IIRC that was fixed, but ubuntu devs recommend using apt-get | 00:53 |
| dbc254 | synaptic? is that in the repositories? | 00:53 |
| pepee | I used to use aptitude, too :( | 00:53 |
| pepee | dbc254, yes | 00:53 |
| LawnMowersSuck | dbc254: yes, it has always been the most used package manager for debian/ubuntu/etc | 00:53 |
| LawnMowersSuck | dbc254: unfortunately, it is a GTK app | 00:54 |
| LawnMowersSuck | in the KDE3 days, adept was a nice package manager. it is a shame that its development was stopped. there is a new adept, but it also sucks. | 00:54 |
| pepee | I don't use kde anymore, because of the mess | 00:54 |
| pepee | LawnMowersSuck, yeah | 00:55 |
| LawnMowersSuck | pepee: what do you use, where there is no mess? | 00:55 |
| pepee | lxde | 00:55 |
| pepee | lots of stability :P | 00:55 |
| pepee | not being developed, I think... | 00:55 |
| LawnMowersSuck | to me, the KDE mess is largely in the past. and KDE cannot be blamed for bad debian/ubuntu package management tools. | 00:56 |
| dbc254 | here, here! | 00:56 |
| DorkVader | pepee: ok, thanks for the help, I got some help from the people in #vbox | 00:56 |
| LawnMowersSuck | also, LXDE is definitely still being developed. | 00:57 |
| pepee | LawnMowersSuck, well, they stopped supporting some apps, and then they create another app to replace the older one... | 00:57 |
| pepee | DorkVader, you are welcome | 00:57 |
| LawnMowersSuck | i am hoping for razor-qt to progress. i've never been much of a GTK fan. | 00:58 |
| pepee | gnome is horrible | 00:58 |
| dbc254 | do I have to uninstall muon to use synaptic? | 00:58 |
| LawnMowersSuck | dbc254: no | 00:58 |
| pepee | don't even know what gnome shell or unity is :P | 00:58 |

| ken__ | I have a quick question regarding kubuntu netbook edition | 00:59 |
| EvilResistance | there is such a thing? | 00:59 |
| JMichaelX | there is a netbook mode... not edition | 00:59 |
| dbc254 | thanks guys! synaptic seems to be working where muon wasn't. | 00:59 |
| JMichaelX | muon sucks. the old adept needs to be revived, and ported to KDE4. | 01:00 |
| ken__ | so I can install it on a netbook and "switch" the mode? | 01:00 |
| pepee | in the end, the cli works :P | 01:00 |
| JMichaelX | ken__: i assume so. | 01:00 |
| pepee | ken__, no kde version of ubuntu netbook remix | 01:01 |
| JMichaelX | pepee: aptitude actually was not working all that well, due to it not having supported multi-arch. hopefully that support is there now, but i have not checked. | 01:01 |
| ken__ | would ubuntu be better? | 01:01 |
| JMichaelX | ken__: that is all a matter of personal preference | 01:01 |
| pepee | ken__, kde uses lots of resources. don't know about unity | 01:02 |
| ken__ | just don't want to bog it down. | 01:02 |
| pepee | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR | 01:02 |
| ken__ | thanks pepee | 01:03 |
| ken__ | I'll give it a try | 01:03 |
| JMichaelX | ken__: UNR is no lobger around. you can install Lucid UNR, if you want, but you probably should not do that. | 01:04 |
| pepee | JMichaelX, about the Qt thing: you should fill a bug report | 01:04 |

| JMichaelX | ken__: to me, win7 on a netbook (especially a single core) is ridiculous to begin with | 01:06 |
| JMichaelX | pepee: that is what i thought | 01:06 |
| ken__ | W7 starter... it boot fairly fast, but nothing works, not even the HP restoration tools | 01:06 |
| JMichaelX | ken__: i'd get rid of it | 01:07 |
| JMichaelX | ken__: you have several options... ubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu (LXDE also has some kind of netbook interface)... all a matter of personal preference | 01:08 |
| ken__ | that would be fine if it were mine. I was trying to revive it for a friend | 01:08 |
| pepee | lubuntu is great, very simple | 01:09 |
| JMichaelX | in that case, i do not know what to say. i am not a windows user to begin with (except when forced to use it at work for some reason), and could not tolerate win7 starter for 5 minutes. | 01:09 |

| ken__ | pepee: will libre office or open office work on it> | 01:12 |
| ken__ | ? | 01:12 |
| pepee | ken__, lubuntu uses lxde as window manager. other than that, all *buntus are the same | 01:13 |

| pepee | JMichaelX, ahh, didn't know | 01:14 |
| ken__ | it's the hp mini 210-1094 NR with an intel ATOM | 01:14 |

| brambleclaw | there are no updates | 03:08 |
| brambleclaw | i just did the new distribution | 03:08 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:09 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:09 |
| brambleclaw | same message | 03:09 |
| brambleclaw | and same message again when i just put in sudo | 03:10 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, problem: I don't really know what a guest account is :P | 03:11 |
| pepee | anyway, don't worry | 03:11 |
| brambleclaw | oh ok :P this is actually the first time i've used one on a linux system and it's not in the kubuntu format | 03:11 |
| brambleclaw | ok? | 03:12 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, so you changed the profile name. what about the password? | 03:16 |
| brambleclaw | i did that right when i got it about a month ago | 03:17 |
| pepee | ok, it was working fine until... ? | 03:17 |
| brambleclaw | last night about 1:30? | 03:18 |
| brambleclaw | turned it off at maybe 12? | 03:18 |
| pepee | did you update the system? | 03:18 |
| brambleclaw | yep | 03:18 |
| brambleclaw | fineshed yesterday morning | 03:19 |
| pepee | ok | 03:20 |
| pepee | try this: type ctrl+alt+F2, then ctrl+alt+F8 or F7 to come back... | 03:21 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:21 |
| shiroi|yaiba | brambleclaw: this indeed looks like a hard disk problem http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=627231 | 03:22 |
| pepee | type ctrl+alt+F2, put your username, press enter, type your password and press enter | 03:22 |
| pepee | shiroi|yaiba, looks like this to me: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769747 | 03:22 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.redhat.com bug 769747 in kernel "[sdb] Asking for cache data failed" [Unspecified,New] | 03:23 |
| pepee | shiroi|yaiba, more likely, a problem with the flash cards reader | 03:23 |
| shiroi|yaiba | hmm, perhaps... | 03:23 |
| shiroi|yaiba | I don't see why that would prevent graphical login, though. | 03:23 |
| pepee | nah, it doesn't | 03:24 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Well, that's the problem he's having, if you'd read the beginning. | 03:24 |
| pepee | I'll make him rename ~/.kde | 03:24 |
| brambleclaw | ok pepee so i got Durion@Joshua-Aspire-One:/$ | 03:24 |
| shiroi|yaiba | brambleclaw: You're logged in. | 03:25 |
| pepee | he says " when i try to log in it quickly flashes to a screen that resembles a terminal screen and then goes back to the login screen." | 03:25 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:25 |
| brambleclaw | it's the same screen i get when i log off of the guest | 03:25 |
| shiroi|yaiba | So there's no problem with your account, it probably has to do with your graphical manager. | 03:25 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:25 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Did you try selecting GNOME or Xubuntu during login? | 03:25 |
| shiroi|yaiba | *graphical* login | 03:25 |
| brambleclaw | yeah i tried all of the options with the same results | 03:26 |
| shiroi|yaiba | You mentioned that you have those options | 03:26 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Okay, so it's a problem with your X configuration or graphics drivers. | 03:26 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, now, run this: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde_backup be careful when typing... | 03:26 |
| brambleclaw | the guest however works perfectly fine with all of them | 03:26 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:26 |
| shiroi|yaiba | pepee: it may not be in .kde since it's a problem across all WMs | 03:26 |
| pepee | shiroi|yaiba, could be related to lightdm | 03:27 |
| shiroi|yaiba | pepee: but it is worth a try, I guess. | 03:27 |
| shiroi|yaiba | perhaps... | 03:27 |
| pepee | shiroi|yaiba, yeah | 03:27 |
| pepee | shiroi|yaiba, if this doesn't work, I'm gonna make him install kdm | 03:27 |
| shiroi|yaiba | pepee: he may already have it running. | 03:27 |
| shiroi|yaiba | we should ask what the login screen looks like/ color scheme so we know which dm he's running. | 03:28 |
| shiroi|yaiba | It probably is gdm or lightdm though, considering that the boot splash says ubuntu | 03:28 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Of course, his brother seems experienced enough to have changed it. | 03:29 |
| pepee | yeah | 03:29 |
| pepee | hehe | 03:29 |
| brambleclaw | its saying "no such file or directory | 03:29 |
| pepee | he even installed lots of DEs, so... | 03:29 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, uh, ok | 03:29 |
| shiroi|yaiba | brambleclaw, what color is your login screen? | 03:29 |
| shiroi|yaiba | What does it look like? | 03:29 |
| brambleclaw | It says ubuntu with its logo and black fading to pinkish orange from top left to bottom right | 03:30 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Okay, he's using lightdm | 03:30 |
| brambleclaw | i haven't ever seen it before | 03:30 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Perhaps we should just have him make a new user in the command line? | 03:30 |
| shiroi|yaiba | That'll have a working default config, probably. | 03:31 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, new theory. brambleclaw are you hacking your brother's computer? :P | 03:31 |
| pepee | joking | 03:31 |
| brambleclaw | will my brothers music still be there? | 03:31 |
| brambleclaw | no | 03:31 |
| brambleclaw | he gave it to my sister who drowned it then gave it to me | 03:32 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, yes, it's still there | 03:32 |
| shiroi|yaiba | brambleclaw: it'll be there in his home directory | 03:32 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:32 |
| brambleclaw | good | 03:32 |
| brambleclaw | he'd have a coniption if it died | 03:32 |
| pepee | shiroi|yaiba, do you know how to select some other DM? | 03:32 |
| shiroi|yaiba | anyway, I've got things to do, pepee, can you walk him through making a new user? | 03:32 |
| shiroi|yaiba | It's easier than installing a new dm | 03:32 |
| brambleclaw | what is a DM? | 03:33 |
| shiroi|yaiba | I gtg, I'll be back soon. | 03:33 |
| brambleclaw | thanks | 03:33 |
| pepee | shiroi|yaiba, see ya | 03:33 |
| shiroi|yaiba | brambleclaw: Display Manager. It's what lets you log in. | 03:33 |
| shiroi|yaiba | graphically | 03:33 |
| brambleclaw | oh ok | 03:33 |
| === shiroi|yaiba is now known as shiroi|yaiba|awa | ||
| === shiroi|yaiba|awa is now known as shiroi|yaibaaway | ||
| brambleclaw | i have never worked with DM's before | 03:33 |
| brambleclaw | my old computer had kubuntu on it but the hard drive died of old age | 03:34 |
| pepee | ok | 03:34 |
| pepee | try this: sudo apt-get install kdm | 03:35 |
| pepee | in the black screen | 03:35 |
| brambleclaw | cool | 03:35 |
| brambleclaw | the package is not available | 03:36 |
| brambleclaw | no instalation candidate | 03:37 |
| pepee | try this: sudo apt-get install gdm | 03:37 |
| brambleclaw | it is already at its newest edition | 03:38 |
| pepee | type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 03:38 |
| brambleclaw | KDE is one of the DM options in the login screen but it isn't the same as kubuntu | 03:38 |
| brambleclaw | it doesn't however have a logo | 03:39 |
| pepee | yeah, kdm is what you can use to log into kde | 03:39 |
| pepee | brambleclaw, use kdm | 03:39 |
| brambleclaw | log out and back in with kdm? | 03:39 |
| pepee | yes | 03:40 |
| brambleclaw | k | 03:40 |
| brambleclaw | brb | 03:40 |
| brambleclaw | pepee ok | 03:43 |
| pepee | could you log into your account? | 03:44 |
| brambleclaw | i didn't try. should i? | 03:44 |
| pepee | yes | 03:44 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:45 |
| brambleclaw | pepee ok it didn't work' | 03:49 |
| brambleclaw | um it did however give me a notice when i logged in to the KDE that a program had crashed | 03:50 |
| pepee | uh :( | 03:50 |
| pepee | what program? | 03:50 |
| brambleclaw | it didn't say and then it came up with a popup that said could not determine the package or source of the package name | 03:51 |
| brambleclaw | and some thing about sending a report but that closed as soon as the popup came up | 03:51 |
| pepee | send the report | 03:51 |
| brambleclaw | ok brb | 03:52 |
| pepee | it should give you some number, an ID or a URL. give that number to me | 03:52 |
| brambleclaw | ok i got to re-log in | 03:52 |
| pepee | k | 03:52 |
| shiroi|yaibaaway | you know, it would probably be WAY easier just to make another account... | 03:54 |
| === shiroi|yaibaaway is now known as shiroi|yaiba | ||
| pepee | yeah, but I don't know how to make a new acct. | 03:55 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Oh, it's just sudo adduser username | 03:55 |
| pepee | ahh, useradd acct | 03:55 |
| pepee | ok | 03:55 |
| shiroi|yaiba | hi brambleclaw? news? | 03:56 |
| brambleclaw | well crap it didn't show u this time | 03:56 |
| brambleclaw | nope no news | 03:57 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Okay, let's try to make a new user | 03:57 |
| brambleclaw | sept my back and neck are deterierating | 03:57 |
| brambleclaw | ok cool | 03:57 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Go to the command line, log in as before, and type | 03:57 |
| shiroi|yaiba | sudo adduser brambleclaw | 03:57 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:57 |
| shiroi|yaiba | (You can replace brambleclaw with anything you want | 03:57 |
| shiroi|yaiba | ) | 03:57 |
| brambleclaw | right | 03:58 |
| shiroi|yaiba | It will prompt you for some info, you can skip everything except for password and real name. | 03:58 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Oh, and enter the current user's password when it asks you | 03:58 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Then you will have a new clean user, and you can try logging in with that, which will hopefully work. | 03:58 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Ok, go ahead. | 03:58 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 03:59 |
| brambleclaw | room number? | 03:59 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Doesn't matter. Skip it | 03:59 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Leave it empty | 03:59 |
| brambleclaw | k | 03:59 |
| shiroi|yaiba | It's from the old UNIX systems where everyone logged into a mainframe. | 03:59 |
| shiroi|yaiba | So you could find the user. | 04:00 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Anyway, doesn't matter | 04:00 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 04:00 |
| shiroi|yaiba | done? | 04:00 |
| brambleclaw | so it's all created | 04:00 |
| brambleclaw | yup | 04:00 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Okay, now it should be an option in the login screen. If it's not, type it in manually. | 04:00 |
| brambleclaw | ok brb | 04:00 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Or you can reboot, it should come up. | 04:00 |
| brambleclaw | k | 04:01 |
| nurupo | what ya doing, creating a new user? x) | 04:01 |
| shiroi|yaiba | He's having problems logging in on one user, but not guest. We guess that the dm config file is corrupted. | 04:02 |
| shiroi|yaiba | This is probably the fastest and easiest way to get a clean login. | 04:02 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Hi brambleclaw | 04:03 |
| brambleclaw | ok done and logged in | 04:03 |
| shiroi|yaiba | works? | 04:03 |
| brambleclaw | yeah | 04:03 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Good. | 04:03 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Hopefully, this user has sudo. | 04:03 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Open up a terminal and check. | 04:03 |
| brambleclaw | k | 04:03 |
| shiroi|yaiba | try this: | 04:04 |
| brambleclaw | it seems so | 04:04 |
| brambleclaw | ok? | 04:04 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Okay, you're golden. | 04:04 |
| shiroi|yaiba | You can get into the old users folder at /home/username | 04:04 |
| shiroi|yaiba | You may need root, if he made it read-protected. | 04:04 |
| brambleclaw | is there any way to get it set back up as kubuntu? | 04:04 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Oh, sure. | 04:05 |
| shiroi|yaiba | You can select kubuntu on the login screen, it should work. | 04:05 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Try it. | 04:05 |
| brambleclaw | there is no kubuntu option | 04:05 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Is there an option called KDE? | 04:05 |
| brambleclaw | KDE plasma workspace but it's not the same | 04:05 |
| shiroi|yaiba | KDE is the window manager for Kubuntu | 04:06 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Do you expect the old version, KDE 3? | 04:06 |
| brambleclaw | same widget styles and such but the way it functions is all weird | 04:06 |
| shiroi|yaiba | What exactly is not the same? | 04:06 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Are you talking about single-click to open folders? | 04:06 |
| DarthFrog | Kwin is the window manager. KDE SC is the desktop environment. | 04:06 |
| shiroi|yaiba | DarthFrog: thanks. Sorry, a bit of confusion | 04:07 |
| brambleclaw | the way i had it before it was prety close to windows XP | 04:07 |
| shiroi|yaiba | brambleclaw: what exactly don't you like? | 04:07 |
| shiroi|yaiba | I may be able to tell you how to set it. | 04:08 |
| brambleclaw | we i guess it'll wotk but i liked it the way it was | 04:08 |
| shiroi|yaiba | I expect that your brother set a lot of settings in KDE's config to work as he liked. | 04:08 |
| shiroi|yaiba | For example, the default is that programs and folders open at single-click, but you can set it to double-click. | 04:08 |
| brambleclaw | the weird thin is that it logged in as kubuntu but there is no option for it | 04:09 |
| shiroi|yaiba | What do you mean by "it logged in as kubuntu"? | 04:09 |
| brambleclaw | here let me log in to KDE so i can give more exact examples | 04:09 |
| brambleclaw | it gave the kubuntu splash screen it had a KDE application manager | 04:10 |
| brambleclaw | at the top of which it said kubuntu "version #" | 04:10 |
| brambleclaw | here 'll brb | 04:10 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 04:14 |
| brambleclaw | um the whole desktop is weird looking | 04:14 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Concrete issues, please. | 04:15 |
| pepee | configure it | 04:15 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Okay, I actually have to go again. | 04:15 |
| pepee | btw take note of that "app crashing" msg | 04:15 |
| brambleclaw | on the left of the menu bar is the name of the current program that when clicked it zooms out and gives the option to go to a sort of full screen application menu | 04:15 |
| brambleclaw | it has all the same options as the other menu | 04:16 |
| shiroi|yaiba | I'll keep an eye on the channel and chime in if I can help, but as pepee says, it's a matter of configuration. | 04:16 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 04:16 |
| brambleclaw | :p i've never seen it like this before | 04:16 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Oh, I think you're using unity... | 04:16 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Are you sure this is KDE? | 04:17 |
| brambleclaw | unity? | 04:17 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Erm... Let's see. | 04:17 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Is there a taskbar on the bottom? | 04:17 |
| brambleclaw | yeah the option says KDE and all teh color scheemes and widget scheems are the same as kubuntu | 04:17 |
| brambleclaw | on the top | 04:17 |
| shiroi|yaiba | The color and icon schemes can be changed... | 04:18 |
| brambleclaw | ok | 04:18 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Is there anything directly on the desktop? | 04:18 |
| brambleclaw | no | 04:18 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Are there Plasma widgets? | 04:18 |
| brambleclaw | there is a button called search and launch | 04:18 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Hmm... | 04:18 |
| pepee | hehe | 04:19 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Okay, truth be told, I've been using gnome only for a couple of months now. | 04:19 |
| brambleclaw | there is a menu button on the bottom left of the search and launch | 04:19 |
| brambleclaw | oh ok | 04:19 |
| shiroi|yaiba | So this is all from memory. | 04:19 |
| brambleclaw | pepee what? | 04:19 |
| shiroi|yaiba | Anyway, hopefully pepee can help. | 04:19 |

| iroh37 | Hello. I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04. When I try to dl packages from from Getdeb in Rekonq i get the error, "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'apturl %u'." and in Firefox, "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program." They worked in 11.10. How can this be fixed? | 06:26 |
| shiroi|yaibaaway | You need to associate either the ubuntu package manager or some other package manager with apt:// | 06:29 |
| shiroi|yaibaaway | or just download the .deb and install with gdebi | 06:31 |
| iroh37 | K. Is there a manual or can you show how? I am smart enough to be dangerous. :) | 06:31 |
| shiroi|yaibaaway | Link with solution https://getsatisfaction.com/allmyapps/topics/protocol_apt_and_firefox_3_5 | 06:32 |
| iroh37 | Thank you, shiroi|yaibaaway. I am using Firefox 12 would that make a differnce. And is this a bug and should it be reported? | 06:35 |
| moobyFR | Hi | 07:27 |
| moobyFR | since 12.04, my dual screen configuration works, but applications use them as one large display, it was not the case before | 07:28 |
| SunTsu | moobyFR: then change KDE's screen config to your liking | 07:28 |
| moobyFR | it's not really as simple as that :) | 07:29 |
| moobyFR | kde seems to see that 2 monitors are connected | 07:29 |
| moobyFR | applications like yakuake only see one large display, but in 11.10, it was aware of two displays | 07:30 |
| SunTsu | moobyFR: There's two parts to that config. I know, because I configure that every single time my laptop hits it's docking station | 07:31 |

| d-egg | Hi, the review tool in okular does no longer change the cursor when I select a marker. It's always the browsing hand. Does anybody else have that, or know how to change that? | 08:29 |
| d-egg | Since the 12.04 upgrade | 08:29 |
| d-egg | I mean the mouse pointer | 08:31 |
| HelpMeObiWanKubu | Not sure what you mean by marker | 08:32 |
| HelpMeObiWanKubu | BTW, is it just me or has SMB sharing via the GUI been broken in Kubuntu since 10.10 or so? | 08:32 |
| HelpMeObiWanKubu | System settings -> Sharing is just a user/pass field in recent versions | 08:33 |

| mydogsnameisrudy | right clik | 09:43 |
| eichi_ | okay, I will try thanks (its just a virtual box installation with a big IDE that is hard to configurate - our project manager does a new with latest IDE and kubuntu in some weeks -thats why I dont need a upgrade now ;) ) | 09:45 |

| CruX| | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/5HRwkuNS | 12:15 |
| BluesKaj | CruX|, yes , mine's exactly the same , so what's supposed to be in that file that you think is being overwritten? | 12:17 |
| CruX| | BluesKaj: my own messages | 12:19 |
| CruX| | for example if apt database is updated, this is appended to the end of motd: | 12:20 |
| CruX| | 29 packages can be updated. | 12:20 |
| CruX| | 1 update is a security update. | 12:20 |
| CruX| | another question: in aptitude i can see i386 packages on my amd64 system | 12:21 |

| ilyak | Because dupload and umask 002 do not work very well together | 13:29 |

| alkisg | In other words, pasting to konsole with the right click menu works fine, but the shortcut mentioned there (ctrl+shift+v) doesn't work as it displays the klipper menu instead | 15:06 |
| eagles0513875 | alkisg: its ctrl+shift+v to paste on konsole | 15:07 |

| alkisg | (12.04 if it matters) | 15:08 |
| eagles0513875 | alkisg: yep same here | 15:08 |
| alkisg | Btw the ancient shift+insert shortcut works fine | 15:09 |
| whodare | alkisg: that means ctrl+shift+v is also set as an global shortcut for klipper, and it takes precendence of the shortcut of konsole. | 15:09 |
| eagles0513875 | alkisg: both methods work for me | 15:09 |
| alkisg | whodare: wouldn't that be a bug though, as the konsole shortcut doesn't work? | 15:09 |

| randers2 | Since 10.10, sharing an NTFS volume by SMB (via Dolphin or otherwise) has not worked in Kubuntu by any means I have discovered. Anyone have any thoughts? | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | randers2, I'm accessing W7 shares just fine , are you using smb ? | 15:49 |
| randers2 | BluesKaj, I am attempting to share an NTFS volume mounted in Kubuntu so that it can be accessed via SMB from other devices (an Ubuntu machine, an Android phone, etc.). I can, from Kubuntu, easily get to the easily-configured SMB shares on my Ubuntu box. | 15:51 |
| randers2 | This has been the deal-breaker from me adopting Kubuntu on more machines. | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | randers2, why not try to share the volume directly rather than thru kubuntu , try to access from the client side | 15:55 |
| randers2 | BluesKaj, the NTFS volume is in the same machine with the Kubuntu installation. It is, in this case, merely a separate partition, but on my old work computer running Kubuntu I had the same issue with separate volumes. | 15:56 |
| randers2 | I've tested it with 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, and 12.04 and get the same results . . . 10.04 was the last time it worked, IIRC. | 15:57 |
| randers2 | And that's on multiple computers, installed or via LiveCD in different cases. | 15:57 |
| BluesKaj | randers2, have you considered not using ntfs , or is that a work restriction ? | 15:58 |
| randers2 | At work, not to mention for personal needs, it is a necessity to have a partition accessible either via Windows or Linux. | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | if the volume was an ext then you could use ssh or NFS from one linux pc to another or all other linux machines | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | randers2, I suppose you've tried ntfs-config ? | 16:09 |
| randers2 | On the work machine I did, but not on this laptop. I am re-attempting now. | 16:11 |
| randers2 | BluesKaj, still no joy from other PCs. Ironically, though, some of the old deleted shares that are still showing up on an Android device seem to be working. But from Ubuntu I cannot see any shares at all now, nor will Dolphin on Kubuntu allow me to make a share that persists after I close Dolphin. | 16:18 |
| === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf | ||
| BluesKaj | from the ubuntu machine you should be able to setup ssh or NFS , randers2 since your accessing a kubuntu pc which is serving the files from an ntfs volume , right ? | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | randers2,^ | 16:24 |
| randers2 | Perhaps I could, but that would not solve the problem . . . merely work around it. Windows machines would still be unable to access. There's even a Wii that I use for accessing SMB shares which would presumably fail to function. | 16:27 |
| randers2 | Nor can I now remove the mystery ghost shares that the Android device is still able to access, which is just weird. | 16:27 |
| randers2 | They aren't in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | dophin places? | 16:30 |
| randers2 | SMB restart solved the mystery ghost shares | 16:33 |

| randers2 | With NTFS-config installed, I cannot make shares that are visible at all from the Ubuntu machine | 16:35 |
| BluesKaj | randers2, linux to linux should work | 16:35 |
| randers2 | I may be having luck right now using sudo dolphin and sharing as root. Which is odd, but potentially usable. Will continue to test. | 16:39 |
| randers2 | Better yet, I'll try from the 12.04 LiveCD and see if I can repeat it . . . a process to enable genuine SMB activity would suffice, even if Kubuntu's a little broken and won't do it out of the box. | 16:41 |

| BluesKaj | sunsetlover_, that's a gtk app , I don't use muon due it's bugginess and I don't even see it in synaptic | 17:09 |
| sunsetlover_ | ok thank you man | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | sunsetlover_, and the reason you see it in muon is because you have it installed | 17:10 |
| sunsetlover_ | maybe, whatever forget it, i will uninstall it and forgot to use it | 17:12 |
| Oxymoron | Cannot find any useful info how to fix it in Kubuntu, to make Kotrrent open magnet links. Ktorrent opens when run magnet link, BUT KGet locks the start process and nothing is done in the Ktorrent with the magnet link. Cannot really find any useful bugfix for this either, not what google provide anyway. Does anyone been able to solve it? | 17:12 |

| eagles0513875 | !muon | 17:46 |
| ubottu | Muon is the current Kubuntu package manager. Please see http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/introducing-qapt-and-the-muon-package-manager/ for an overview | 17:46 |
| eagles0513875 | abhishek_: ^ | 17:46 |
| sunsetlover_ | abhishek, you will find it under system | 17:47 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: in my opinion (whatever it's worth) you would be better off forgetting about muon, and installing/using synaptic | 17:47 |
| abhishek_ | JMichaelX : how do i install synaptic ? | 17:48 |
| lordievader | sudo apt-get install synaptic | 17:49 |
| orated_ | BlaXpirit: | 17:49 |
| ghabit | Hello. I'm looking for easy and gui DLNA server. Help me please ^) | 17:49 |
| orated_ | er, sorry. | 17:49 |
| giantpune | hi, im looking for information about "repairing" a broken kubuntu installation. when i installed it, i placed /home on a separate hard drive than everything else. today that HDD with /home has failed. does anybody know how i can replace just that HDD and get all the default stuff there without having to reinstall the entire OS? | 17:49 |
| abhishek_ | lordievader : Sorry bad question to ask .. Im installing synaptic | 17:50 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: you would need to format that drive to a linux file system, then add that drive to your fstab | 17:51 |
| lordievader | abhishek_: Yes? Run "sudo apt-get install synaptic" in a terminal/konsole | 17:51 |
| DarthFrog | giantpune: Yes. | 17:51 |
| giantpune | JMichaelX, the kubuntu installer creates a bunch of default files and folders in your home folder. will it be smart enough to start up with all those missing? | 17:52 |
| abhishek_ | lordievader : I knew that, I just said it was a bad question to ask u how to install :D | 17:52 |
| BlaXpirit | giantpune, it's okay | 17:52 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: you will need to do some of this without KDE.... one you have your drive formatted, and added to /etc/fstab, KDE will re-create the files it needs | 17:53 |
| lordievader | abhishek_: Do you have a terminal open? | 17:53 |
| DarthFrog | giantpune: Copy /etc/skel to your new home directory. | 17:53 |
| JMichaelX | once* | 17:53 |
| abhishek_ | lordievader : I installed it | 17:53 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: do you have a linux live CD? | 17:53 |
| giantpune | not the new one. but i know how to DL and burn it | 17:53 |
| DarthFrog | giantpune: There's 3 hidden files in /etc/skel you need in your home directory. | 17:54 |
| lordievader | abhishek_: Oke, good | 17:54 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: it does not matter if it's old.... as long as it is not more than a few years old. you can use such a live CD to format your external drive. | 17:54 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: you will also need this command, to get your new HD's UUID: 'sudo blkid' | 17:56 |
| JMichaelX | you will need that UUID when you add an entry for that drive in /etc/fstab | 17:56 |
| abhishek_ | lordievader : How do i give su privileges to synaptics ? | 17:57 |
| giantpune | ok, let me drag this laptop across the house and start the process | 17:57 |
| lordievader | abhishek_: In kubunutu it is "kdesu synaptic" | 17:57 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: your entry should look like something like this: UUID=1234567890 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 | 17:58 |
| orated_ | Hello! Which file/folder stores configuration about panels in ~/.kde ? | 17:58 |
| abhishek_ | lordievader : is there a command ? | 17:59 |
| JMichaelX | synaptic should just ask for your password upon being launched | 18:00 |
| abhishek_ | lordievader : says kdesu command not found | 18:00 |
| orated_ | abhishek_: Try kdesudo synaptic in Terminal | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | or you could do the all no passsword command in the sudoers file :) | 18:01 |
| JMichaelX | why would synaptic not just ask for his password when it's launched? | 18:02 |
| * JMichaelX shakes his finger @ BluesKaj | 18:02 | |
| lordievader | abhishek_: It could be the kdesudo command, not sure, it used to be kdesu... | 18:03 |
| abhishek_ | orated_ : thanx got it .. but cant I get the su access if I run it from the desktop search ? | 18:03 |
| abhishek_ | lordievader : it was kdesudo | 18:03 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: like i said... just launch it. it will ask for your password. | 18:04 |
| BluesKaj | for guis like synaptic one has to use kdesudo | 18:04 |
| JMichaelX | wtf.... why is he being instructed to launch synaptic from the command line? | 18:05 |
| JMichaelX | (wtf = what total folly) | 18:05 |
| JMichaelX | :-D | 18:05 |
| BluesKaj | abhishek_, have you tried alt+f2 , kdesudo synaptic | 18:05 |
| * JMichaelX sigh | 18:05 | |
| abhishek_ | no, the password is not being being asked when launced from GUI | 18:05 |
| JMichaelX | then my question would be, WHY is it not asking for your password | 18:06 |
| BluesKaj | bet there's another package manager open , maybe muon or apt-get ? | 18:06 |
| abhishek_ | BluesKaj : now it asked for password | 18:06 |
| BluesKaj | ok good | 18:07 |
| abhishek_ | BluesKaj : should I be doing this everytime ? | 18:07 |
| BluesKaj | package managers need root permissions because they use the dpkg system to install remove or purge packages , hence the pw | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | !sudoers | 18:08 |
| abhishek_ | but should I be using the same method to launch it always ? | 18:09 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: it should ask you password, every time | 18:09 |
| orated_ | !sudo | 18:09 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 18:09 |
| JMichaelX | there *should* be no need to launch it from the command line, unless your user is not in the sudoers file | 18:10 |
| abhishek_ | i know i know , I am just clarifying if this is the only way (alt+F2 , kdesudo synaptic ) to launch it .. | 18:10 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: i am answering that! | 18:10 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: the answer should be NO | 18:10 |
| abhishek_ | I am one of the sudoers | 18:11 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: then alt+f2 etc etc should be completely unnecessary | 18:11 |
| JMichaelX | just launch it from the menu | 18:12 |
| abhishek_ | then it wont ask me for password and I wont have the privilege to install packages | 18:12 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: i am not sure what the deal is then. i always install synaptic, and it always asks for my password. | 18:13 |
| orated_ | As far as I remember synaptic in Kubuntu when run directly from menu does run without administrative privileges. Did you try Muon instead abhishek_? | 18:14 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: you could try logging out, then back in. | 18:14 |
| JMichaelX | orated_: i have never seen that | 18:14 |
| abhishek_ | JMichaelX : il try thank you | 18:14 |
| abhishek_ | orated_ : I cant find muon at all | 18:14 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: even if you type 'muon' in the search bar? | 18:15 |
| abhishek_ | JMichaelX : yeah I cant find it | 18:15 |
| orated_ | then <sudo apt-get install muon> | 18:15 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: you did a fresh installation? | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | abhishek_, despite objections by some , one can edit the sudoers file and remove the need for pws if you feel scure enough in your computing environment to do so ...if you need some help with it . just ask | 18:16 |
| JMichaelX | BluesKaj: my question is why you are recommending this, when the question should be why synaptic is not asking for his password | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | gotta run som errands for a few mins ...BBL | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | that's odd , I thought it wouldn't launch | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 18:18 |
| JMichaelX | BluesKaj: yea, i think it's launching | 18:18 |
| JMichaelX | ok | 18:18 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: are you logged back in? | 18:19 |
| abhishek_ | yes | 18:20 |
| JMichaelX | hopefully it will ask for your password now.... | 18:21 |
| abhishek_ | i dint :( | 18:21 |
| abhishek_ | it* | 18:21 |
| JMichaelX | did you do a fresh installation? | 18:22 |
| abhishek_ | yes | 18:22 |
| orated_ | Strange | 18:22 |
| abhishek_ | of synaptic ? | 18:23 |
| orated_ | Strange that you couldn't muon after fresh installation of Kubuntu 12.04 | 18:23 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: just out of curiosity, what do you get if you enter 'which muon' in a terminal? | 18:23 |
| orated_ | couldn't find* | 18:23 |
| abhishek_ | i dint get anything | 18:23 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: i think your installation was somehow flawed | 18:24 |
| abhishek_ | damn ! | 18:24 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: don't panic | 18:24 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: please run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' | 18:24 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: tell us if it wants to install a bunch of packages | 18:26 |
| abhishek_ | yeah il do that | 18:26 |
| orated_ | JMichaelX: For reference, this is what I've noticed when running synaptic without sudo - http://i.imgur.com/uDMsY.png | 18:28 |
| abhishek_ | yeah im getting the same thing too | 18:29 |
| Phoenixz | Anybody knows anything about some current Ubuntu bug that makes multiple computers loose network on GNome / KDE level? Network can be configured manually on command line, but in KDE / GNome its basically dead... ? Since yesterda I have multiple computers showing this very same problem, all independantly.. | 18:29 |
| JMichaelX | orated_: did you launch it from the menu, or command line? | 18:29 |
| JMichaelX | Phoenixz: do they all use the same wireless chipset? | 18:30 |
| Phoenixz | Have this happen on multiple computers, both Ubuntu and Kubuntu, from different people.. All since yesterday night / this morning.. | 18:30 |
| orated_ | Well, I prefer muon over synaptic in Kubuntu. I would ask you abhishek_ to try what JMichaelX suggested | 18:30 |
| abhishek_ | menu | 18:30 |
| Phoenixz | JMichaelX: No.. One was my laptop (yesterday night) and the other 3 are all desktops | 18:30 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: i was asking orated_ | 18:30 |
| abhishek_ | JMichaelX : it asked me to install packages of 88 MB | 18:31 |
| orated_ | JMichaelX: I ran it <synaptic> from Terminal. If you see in KMenu edit option for application, even there you would see its just <synaptic> for Command. | 18:31 |
| JMichaelX | orated_: i have kubuntu installed on 6 machines (between work and home), and it's been that way for several years... and i have never seen that behavior | 18:32 |
| Phoenixz | JMichaelX: lspci gives 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) on this desktop | 18:32 |
| abhishek_ | and i can see muon there in the packages suggested :) | 18:32 |
| JMichaelX | abhishek_: go ahead and install all of that | 18:32 |
| abhishek_ | yeah | 18:32 |
| JMichaelX | Phoenixz: how about the other machines? | 18:32 |
| orated_ | JMichaelX: Well, I rarely use syaptic or muon for that matter. I just mentioned that since I've noticed that behavior before. | 18:32 |
| orated_ | abhishek_: Try reinstalling system or as JMichaelX suggests | 18:33 |
| JMichaelX | orated_: i am just curious as to why that would be | 18:33 |
| BluesKaj | abhishek_, if you ran synaptic in the terminal previously , make sure the terminal is closed if you run it from the krunner or the kmenu | 18:33 |
| abhishek_ | ok | 18:34 |
| orated_ | Any idea which file/folder stores configuration about panels in ~/.kde ? | 18:35 |
| === paolo is now known as faLUCE | ||

| giantpune | JMichaelX, it didnt work :( | 18:58 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: what are you seeing? | 18:58 |
| giantpune | i created the new partition on the new HDD and gave it the correct permissions and whatnot. then i copied the files from /ect/skel, then blkid and copied the new uuid into fstab in place of the old one. and now it doesnt boot at all | 19:00 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: does KDM come up? | 19:02 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: are you sure you copied in the correct UUID? | 19:04 |
| giantpune | yes. i copy/pasted it | 19:04 |
| giantpune | theres no kdm that shows up | 19:04 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: you have to be sure that it was for exactly the correct partition, and that you have correctly specified the file system being used | 19:05 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: how did you partition and format the new drive? | 19:05 |
| giantpune | yes. i checked it a few times | 19:05 |
| giantpune | ext4 partition belonging to root. then in that partition, i created a folder with my user name and chmod it to my name and group | 19:06 |
| giantpune | i guess im just gonna have to bite the bullet and reinstall the whole OS. | 19:07 |
| === bm is now known as Guest5398 | ||
| JMichaelX | giantpune: i am not sure this will solve anything, but you may want to use 'chown -R /home/user' | 19:07 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: and you should not need to reboot all the time (maybe you know this)... if you are booted into a terminal, you should be able to use 'mount -a'.... if your fstab entry is correct, it should mount. if it mounts, then it *should* auto-mount, when you next reboot | 19:09 |
| giantpune | thats what i did | 19:09 |
| JMichaelX | does 'mount' work? | 19:09 |
| giantpune | "sudo mount -a" worked. i saw programs starting to create new folders and files in my new /home partition. | 19:10 |
| giantpune | then when i turned it off and back on, kdm doesnt even come up | 19:10 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: i don't know what to say. if ownership is correct, and your fstab entry is correct, it should work. you may also want to double-check boot order in your BIOS | 19:11 |
| giantpune | nope, my bios still has it booting from the SSD which contained everything except /home | 19:16 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: also.... was a directory created for your user? | 19:16 |
| giantpune | i created that directory myself | 19:16 |
| JMichaelX | /home/user is where the /etcskell file should have been copied to | 19:17 |
| JMichaelX | /etc/skell* | 19:17 |
| JMichaelX | ok | 19:17 |
| giantpune | that wasnt a file. it was a folder with the defaulte .bashrc files inside it. and then i copied those 3 files to the folder i created | 19:18 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: i'm at a loss... but i imagine there is just one or two minor details that are amiss | 19:18 |
| JMichaelX | yes, i meant to type files, plural | 19:18 |
| giantpune | i got the 12.04 DVD downloading on my laptop. i expect it will be faster to reinstall from that and then install all the stuff i want from the package manager and setup my nfs again rather than trying to fix the installation and hope i didnt forget some small detail | 19:19 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: that could be | 19:20 |
| JMichaelX | i add drives to machines, both physical and virtual, on a semi-regular basis... i may be forgetting to inform you of some important step somewhere | 19:21 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: i'd be curious what would happen ,if you would boot to terminal, and add a new user | 19:22 |
| JMichaelX | but... i have to leave | 19:22 |
| JMichaelX | giantpune: wish i could have been of more help.... maybe there is someone here who could guide you better than i did | 19:24 |
| JMichaelX | adios! | 19:24 |

| Cerealklr | Hi all. I just upgraded to 12.04. Mostly smooth sailing, but there's a weird repaint issue with Konsole. When given transparency, it assumes it, but every time a notifcation pops up or focus changes, transparency is halved. Moving the Konsole window restores transparency. Lather, rinse, repeat. An hour of googling shows no results. Any ideas of what I can do to debug this? | 20:41 |
| Cerealklr | If its relevant, I'm x64, running oxygen-transparent built on 11.10 (with no other issues to report) | 20:42 |

| Cerealklr | Hi all, I think I'm having an issue with oxygen-transparent. It was built on 11.10, and functioned flawlessly. I've since upgraded to 12.04 today, and found there to be some pretty weird repaint issues, particularly with Konsole. Can anyone confirm this before I figure out how to remove and recompile it? | 22:08 |
| schultza | still not finding it | 22:16 |
| schultza | i guess ill try another environment | 22:17 |
