| draik | I've had this issue since 11.04, and each release, I can't seem to get it resolved. | 04:29 |
| draik | How do I get my HDMI monitor to display the proper resolution? | 04:30 |
| draik | The display is about 10-20mm bigger on all 4 sides. | 04:30 |
| draik | The entire window boarder and status bar are "hidden" by the TV | 04:31 |
| JMichaelX | anyone here have an opinion on using kubuntu on a netbook? in this case, single core atom, intel graphics | 04:59 |
| draik | JMichaelX: I would suggest Lubuntu. I put that on my Netbook (Acer Asprire One), and it definitely seemed to handle a lot better. | 05:10 |
| JMichaelX | thx draik! | 05:17 |
| JMichaelX | draik: btw, how's it going? | 05:17 |

| urlwolf | I have two tray icons for the system notification helper. Is this normal? | 06:17 |
| urlwolf | also, I just had to kill X because there war an unkillable process taking 100% of the CPU, a python script called apt-check. May be related? | 06:18 |
| urlwolf | can I tell kwallet to auto-login with the same password as my user has? | 06:30 |
| urlwolf | right now, kwallet pops up asking for a password | 06:30 |
| almoxarife | urlwolf, yes | 06:30 |
| almoxarife | urlwolf, better yet, leave kwallet password free | 06:31 |
| urlwolf | since knetworkmanager needs kwallet, it fails to autoconnect to the web | 06:31 |
| urlwolf | aha | 06:31 |
| urlwolf | how? | 06:31 |
| almoxarife | urlwolf, dont use password in kwallet | 06:31 |
| urlwolf | is that advisable>? | 06:31 |
| almoxarife | urlwolf, you have to login to use it, its an option | 06:32 |
| urlwolf | I cannot see an obvious way to remove the password | 06:33 |
| urlwolf | How can the default install of kubuntu have this problem? many beginner users will stop using it, because their wireless will not autologin... | 06:41 |
| Tm_T | urlwolf: if kwallet doesn't have password, then it doesn't encrypt passwords | 06:45 |
| Tm_T | urlwolf: but, you can change the kwallet password (to empty for example) via kwalletmanager | 06:46 |
| vexaxv | how do i get kde themes?? | 07:19 |
| urlwolf | ok kwalletmanager fails to open | 07:25 |
| urlwolf | even without a password, the problem is still there | 07:25 |
| urlwolf | kwallet pops up, and it prevents knetworkmanager from autologing | 07:25 |
| urlwolf | could I rip out kwallet and be done with it? | 07:26 |
| urlwolf | I'm tired of having to go into network prefs, removing my home ssd, adding it again, and typing the password every single time | 07:26 |
| urlwolf | looking at reverse dependencies, looks like kde-standard depends on it, so I won't be able to uninstall it | 07:29 |
| urlwolf | kwallet and knetwork manager both being essential tools to a desktop, I don't understand why they don't get along better | 07:30 |
| urlwolf | could I tell knetworkmanager 'do not try to log me in till kwallet is authenticated'? | 07:31 |
| vexaxv | anyone know how to install this? http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=136625 | 07:34 |
| urlwolf | ok, I'll ask at #kde | 07:41 |
| urlwolf | A different problem.... apt-check takes 100% of the cpu, and is unkillable even by root. Any idea how to solve this? | 07:44 |

| HelenB | audacity keeps crashing after so long | 10:01 |
| Tm_T | HelenB: can you use something else than audacity? what exactly it does do in your setup? | 10:07 |
| HelenB | Tm_T, It does a voice activated recording from line in 0 | 10:08 |

| sky100 | so shall I ignore that message & click YES ? | 11:11 |
| sky100 | hi itdp | 11:12 |
| sky100 | hello | 11:14 |
| ikonia | sky100: why would you ignore a warning | 11:14 |
| sky100 | ikoniaa : I was just confused about a fresh installation of kubuntu alongwith windows xp | 11:16 |
| ikonia | what's confusing about "if you do this....." | 11:16 |
| sky100 | ii have had XP & kbuntu as dual boot | 11:16 |
| ikonia | so ? | 11:16 |
| sky100 | just a min | 11:17 |
| sky100 | ikonia | 11:18 |
| ikonia | don't worry, I'm not really that interested, it's up to you if you want to ignore the warning or not | 11:18 |
| sky100 | If you continue with mounted disk .. you wont be able to resize this partition ... " so on | 11:18 |
| ikonia | sky100: yes and ? | 11:19 |
| sky100 | as far as i can remeber while installing kubuntu i was being served with a message like that | 11:21 |
| sky100 | remember* | 11:21 |
| sky100 | in face while i was trying to go for a fresh install... | 11:21 |
| sky100 | fact* | 11:22 |
| sky100 | so i had to quit a fresh installation of kubuntu | 11:22 |
| sky100 | could not figure out if i should have continued with | 11:23 |
| sky100 | so im stuck with kubuntu being screwed | 11:23 |
| sky100 | so asking for some help .. | 11:24 |
| ikonia | I don't understand what you are actually asking | 11:25 |
| sky100 | i was just scraed if any wrong step screws my XP installation .. in case i mess up with partitions | 11:25 |
| ikonia | again, not sure what you are actually asking | 11:26 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 11:26 |
| sky100 | i was just asking how to go for a fresh installation of Kubuntu with xp | 11:27 |
| sky100 | i have single 160Gb HDD with 4 partitions | 11:27 |
| sky100 | ikoniaa : i want to delete my previous kubuntu installation & install a fresh kubuntu | 11:27 |
| ikonia | sky100: you put the install CD in, boot it and follow the install instructions on screen | 11:27 |
| ikonia | sky100: ok, so do that | 11:28 |
| sky100 | i have dual boot .. | 11:28 |
| ikonia | so ? | 11:28 |
| sky100 | yes... but | 11:29 |
| ikonia | but what ? I don't understand the problem | 11:29 |
| ikonia | boot the CD - follow the instructions, install kubuntu | 11:29 |
| sky100 | while attempting to install it .. i was served with a message like MOUNTED disk .. & so on | 11:30 |
| ikonia | sky100: right, and ? | 11:30 |
| sky100 | it asked me if i should continue with unmounted disk .. | 11:30 |
| ikonia | I think you need to REALLY read this | 11:30 |
| sky100 | some message like this... which put me in confusion | 11:30 |
| ikonia | you just said it was mounted, now unmounted | 11:30 |
| ikonia | think about what it's asking you and make your choice | 11:31 |
| sky100 | im not sure about that mounted & unmounted | 11:32 |
| ikonia | unmount it | 11:32 |
| sky100 | so thats what is confusing me | 11:32 |
| sky100 | i have a single HDD of 160Gb with 4 partitions | 11:32 |
| sky100 | u mean i shd delete some partitions? | 11:33 |
| sky100 | in C i have xp .. | 11:34 |
| ikonia | you've said that about 10 times | 11:35 |
| ikonia | there is no need to delete anything | 11:35 |
| ikonia | just re-install kubuntu over your old kubuntu install | 11:35 |
| sky100 | ok | 11:37 |
| sky100 | thanx ikonia | 11:37 |
| sky100 | gonna try with installation ... | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, btw successfully installed 12.10 on a separate internal HDD without any problems with grub picking it up .. used the manual partitoning method, which probly made the difference | 11:40 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: curious, where is grub stored, on the main hard disk or the second internal ? | 11:41 |
| mydogsnameisrudy | BluesKaj: is on the cutting edge of linux all the time ;) | 11:41 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, I'm not real sure , I just assumed that it's on the main drive and it detected the other dive/install by default and did self upgrade | 11:44 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: I'm trying to work out if you a.) boot the main drive grub that then boots grub on the second drive b.) boot main drives grub that has somehow detected your second install, but then how will that get updated ?? c.) just booting grub of the second drive | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, ikonia grub lists the 2nd drive kernels first in the menu , but dunno if that's just the latest entries being listed first or... | 11:47 |
| BluesKaj | oops repeating myself again :P | 11:47 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: that sounds to me like it's booting direct from the second drive, but nothing solid to prove that | 11:48 |
| BluesKaj | is there command to find out , I wonder | 11:48 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: not really, but, I'd be interested in seeing if you had a grub config in both /boot's on each disk | 11:49 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, well, this 2nd drive has grub.cfg in /boot , but I can't access root in the other main drive ...I'll have to boot in to findout | 11:56 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: why can't you mount root on the other drive ? | 11:56 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, dunno | 11:58 |
| ikonia | worrying | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | I can mount all the ~/home files etc | 12:00 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, it's listed as /media/549a6c23-ddc3-4f14-8fbb-4e21a60bcb8e/ in dolphn 'places' ,but if I add root to the end of the path .."file is nonexistent" | 12:02 |
| === lindalou is now known as westmi | ||
| BluesKaj | oops ikonia , I haven't finished my morning coffe , doh! , I'm checking root , there's no grub.cfg on the main drive. So grub is installed on the 2nd drive | 12:05 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: ok, I'll be very interested in seeing what happens when you update the kernel of something running on the main drive | 12:08 |
| BluesKaj | the /boot/grub file lists the kernels for example , config-3.2.0-12-generic | 12:09 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: but lets see what happens when the distro running on disk (A) gets an update | 12:10 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, that's 12.04 , hasn't been much to updtae lately | 12:11 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: keep an eye on it, I'll be interested to know what happens | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | yup, I don't have much choice , ikonia :) | 12:12 |

| DarthFrog | Brustofski-Fan: Remove it all and then add back what you want. | 16:23 |
| DarthFrog | If it's not installed, a failed removal won't hurt your system. :-) | 16:24 |
| DarthFrog | Or you could try just uninstalling gnome-shell and letting the packaging system pick up now unneeded packages and suggest their autoremoval. | 16:28 |
| Shano56 | i cant even get into bios! wtf | 16:28 |
| boozer | Hello Kubuntu! Question: I have a kdm server session running, with access control disabled so another user can connect my x server. However, KDE apps error out: "Cannot find the D-Buss session server" | 16:39 |
| boozer | how can I remedy this? | 16:39 |

| reisi | even after purging 'apper' and 'kpackagekit' after upgrade to 12.04 i still get 'Apper' tray notifications of upgrades (in addition to muons notifications) how to remove all apper related? | 16:57 |
| Shano56 | anyone know how screwing up the mbr can lock you out of BIOS ? | 16:59 |
| reisi | Shano56: does not sound rational, mbr is on hard drives, BIOS is on a chip; if however you have such a buggy bios that it needs a working mbr to continue, unplug your hdd to enter into bios | 17:01 |
| Shano56 | okay | 17:04 |
| Shano56 | im on a laptop :/ | 17:04 |
| reisi | Shano56: you can still unplug it, even rather easily if your laptop is not a mini-laptop (like my asus eee) -- those have like 20-40 screws to do :D | 17:06 |
| reisi | Shano56: for proper laptops that should not void any warranties or anything like that | 17:06 |
| Shano56 | nvm | 17:10 |
| Shano56 | i unplugged it | 17:10 |
| Shano56 | it was easy | 17:10 |
| Shano56 | still cant seem to enter bios :/ | 17:10 |
| reisi | Shano56: are you sure on which key it should be? | 17:11 |
| Shano56 | yes should be del | 17:11 |
| Shano56 | its worked before | 17:11 |
| reisi | Shano56: usual suspects del, f1, f10, backspace, ... | 17:12 |
| Shano56 | i have tried them all | 17:12 |
| Shano56 | :/ | 17:12 |
| Shano56 | i deleted 2 kubuntu partitions | 17:13 |
| reisi | Shano56: some bios' are just frustratingly tricky to enter, try cold-boot vs. reboot, remove battery, reinstert battery | 17:13 |
| Shano56 | then i got stuck in grub recovery | 17:13 |
| reisi | there are tools to recover partition tables, grub recovery... i don't think that's one i'd use | 17:14 |
| Shano56 | thats the only thing that shows with my hdd in | 17:14 |
| reisi | so you are trying to get to bios to change the boot order? | 17:15 |
| Shano56 | yeah | 17:15 |
| reisi | is your hdd sata or ide? | 17:16 |
| Shano56 | sata | 17:16 |
| reisi | well, i'd burn or install grml to a cd / usb stick, boot without hdd and hotplug the hdd once grml is up | 17:16 |
| Shano56 | this http://grml.org/ | 17:17 |
| Shano56 | ? | 17:17 |
| reisi | yeah, but ... it isn't the most userfriendly | 17:17 |
| Shano56 | how do i make it bootable ? | 17:17 |
| Shano56 | i only have usb | 17:17 |
| Shano56 | :/ | 17:17 |
| reisi | there are iso -> bootable usb utilities, i don't know how they really work, but they work | 17:18 |
| reisi | see ubuntu to usb stick guide, there's mac/windows guides as well | 17:18 |
| reisi | depending on which os are you chatting from | 17:18 |
| reisi | but #grub people might know how you should best recover your partition table; there are though utils for that specifically, AFAIR even included in all grml versios | 17:19 |
| reisi | i havent' ever deleted parition by mistake so i really dont know how to help :) | 17:20 |
| Settembrini | Hello everyone. I've got problems with HDMI-Sound in Kubuntu 12.04. Anyone care to help? | 18:04 |
| === artao is now known as artao_gone | ||
| andrey_ | good night, there is anyone alive? I need help .. regarding Kubuntu | 18:33 |
| Settembrini | what's your problem, maybe i can help | 18:35 |
| andrey_ | please tell me where you can find a list of commands for the terminal? I want to do in the future administration of Kubuntu .. and I do not know where to start .. just want to bash ... read the literature or may suggest which sources? | 18:37 |
| andrey_ | I apologize in advance for my bad english .. I live in Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine) | 18:38 |
| Settembrini | maybe you could just search for a bash-manual or something like this on google? (I am sure that you already tried this, but please continue reading) I do not think that there is a book on bash or anything like that... | 18:39 |
| Settembrini | this | 18:39 |
| Settembrini | reads good | 18:39 |
| Settembrini | http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html | 18:39 |
| FloodBotK1 | Settembrini: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:39 |
| Settembrini | I am sorry. | 18:40 |
| qbit | http://ss64.com/bash/ | 18:40 |
| qbit | man bash is an overview to start with too | 18:41 |
| andrey_ | can be considered as a flood, if the person explains the answer to the question on the issue. and nothing more ...? .. I do not understand the reason for this remark. | 18:41 |
| Settembrini | can anyone help me w/ this HDMI-sound-thingy? | 18:41 |
| andrey_ | and another question-whether it makes sense to do C + + under Kubuntu? for its administration (I mean to learn C + +) | 18:44 |
| DarthFrog | Settembrini: You're not likely to get a response from such a general inquiry. If you want help, ask a specific question. | 18:44 |
| andrey_ | Considering the fact that it is kind of like writing in C language | 18:44 |
| Settembrini | @DeathFrog: thanks. | 18:45 |
| Settembrini | My problem is: I have hooked up a AOCe2795vh to my Dell XPSm1530 w/ 8600m and HDMI. Sound is working, but on full volume and there is no device in the mixer. How do I turn it down? | 18:46 |
| asfyxia | andrey, try google for the search term TLCL, it's a pdf 'The Linux Command Line', that's a good reference point | 18:46 |
| andrey_ | thanks | 18:47 |
| DarthFrog | Settembrini: Personally, I would either turn down the speakers or use the command line alsamixer (a curses utility). | 18:48 |
| Settembrini | Yeah, that's my problem: It does not work. | 18:48 |
| Settembrini | Alsamixer does not show the device and turning down the speakers only works via software :( | 18:49 |
| DarthFrog | Settembrini: What about the Mulitmedia section in System Settings? | 18:49 |
| andrey_ | asfyxia,I have a Russian Google ... as from Ukraine and on it .. Most of site is not visible .. English and Russian and Ukrainian is no sensible information in this and asked for the channel | 18:50 |
| andrey_ | exact sites in the English language is very small | 18:51 |
| Settembrini | that does show two devices: One the "standard" Device (analogue stereo) and one IEC958. I think that is the one, but it is grey and I dont know how to activate it. | 18:51 |
| asfyxia | andrey, hold on - I'll look it up for you | 18:51 |
| asfyxia | andrey, you can download it here: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php | 18:53 |
| andrey_ | I already gave the information to my questions, if there were any questions I will ask again | 18:53 |
| andrey_ | thanks again to all-you helped me a lot | 18:56 |
| Settembrini | I have found the volume control no the monitor. That helped. It hid in plain sight ;-) Thanks everyone. | 19:00 |
