[00:08] where are the power save settings? i have power manager, but where is power save settings? [00:08] Power manager, that would likely be it. [00:10] doesnt seem towork in power manager [00:10] what do i adjust in power manager? [00:10] @ox1de: Check here: http://static.afbeeldinguploaden.nl/1205/10870/3GA0L.png [00:11] OK, there should be a little applet you can add to your panel to adjust it. (Rightclick on panel, add applet to panel.) [00:11] OXLDE It should say backlight on full when plugged in. [00:12] oxlde Check the box. It may be a slider, in which case, you slide it to full. [00:17] still dim... [00:18] i'll reboot [00:18] brb [00:21] Ok, its still dim d(>_<)b [00:23] What about trying the "Fn" button (push it in!), and find the symbol "sun" on your keyboard. Does that respond? [00:24] no [00:25] wait, yes that workd!! [00:25] thank you [00:25] :) [00:26] ok its bright agan [00:26] Aha! That did the trick! Nice....

Have you tried switching tty's? Ctrl+Alt+F7 [03:33] i'm a nub [03:34] what's ttys? [03:34] I can try it [03:34] when do I press it? [03:34] Try switching from ctrl+alt+f1-f8 [03:34] btw i didn't menion that kubuntu works fine on live CD [03:35] Try when you're stuck on the black screen after it booted up [03:35] oh that was only when I did ACPI workaround on boot options [03:35] Yeah, I just reiewed your forum post. [03:35] *reviewed [03:35] thank you [03:36] it normally just goes to that loading screen with the dots and gets stuck there [03:36] should I press alt+ctrl+f1-f8 there? [03:37] mixolyd: If it is stuck there, then it probably won't work. But you can try. [03:37] why do you think ubuntu works but kubuntu doesn't? aren't they essengtially the same [03:38] worth a try [03:38] mixolyd: Well, the login managers are different. Ubuntu uses lightdm. Kubuntu uses KDM. [03:39] Kubuntu will be switching to lightdm-kde soon, so i hear. [03:39] oh ic [03:39] what? [03:40] Oh noes. [03:40] i did think it was a problem with login manager [03:40] just not sure what I can do [03:40] it's strange that live CD works fine [03:40] * mixolyd shrugs [03:41] mixolyd: Have you tried reinstalling? [03:41] mixolyd: afaik the live cd uses the fbdev driver...

[03:44] spam is gone, wow that was fast! [03:50] mixolyd: I looked up the specs of your machine. Do you have the integrated Intel graphics card or the NVIDIA? [03:50] intel 965 integrated [03:54] mixolyd: I'm rather at my wits end. But did you verify the iso file that you downloaded? [03:54] Wudi does that [03:54] but I did redownload too [03:54] sigh oh well [03:54] thanks anyway :) i'll try opensuse [03:55] mixolyd: No problem. openSUSE is a great KDE distro. [03:55] It seems related to your broadcom wireless for some reason. [03:55] mixolyd: Don't have Wubi support though... [03:55] you might try blacklisting that... I am not a big fan of wubi [03:56] L3top: Why would Wubi Ubuntu work? [03:56] L3 - ubuntu loads up fine without the broadcom driver.. makes me install firmware but still boots up [03:58] I understand... I am just looking at the screenshot, I don't have a clue why the one would go and the other wouldn't, esp not related to GPU... but I frankly wouldn't expect the intel to be a problem and indeed you hit that lack of firmware and everything starts stopping [03:59] "starts stopping" :) [03:59] yeah [03:59] guess i'm SOl [03:59] thank you though [04:01] well... I am not sure you are SOL if you can use the normal install CD. [04:01] or usb [04:01] mixolyd: tried rebooting to windows then reboot again to Kubuntu? [04:01] yes [04:02] OK. I give up.

[09:17] where i should add these lines :) [09:17] jessy: ~/.bashrc is a good place. [09:17] Wizard: let me investigate :p [09:17] jessy: Or you might mean ~/.bash_profile [09:18] lordievader: ~/.bash_profile doesn't exist [09:18] jessy: You can allways create it. [09:18] jessy: You could create it [09:20] lordievader: so i created that file and then what i must to do :) [09:20] should i just paste LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TARGET_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH [09:21] jessy: This can mess things up.

[11:21] yep [11:21] & /boot as well [11:22] why a /boot . not necessary [11:23] i was going through a tutorial which said /boot is to be configured [11:23] which tutorial ..got a url ? [11:23] i gave / boot some 300 MB [11:23] just a min [11:25] BluesKaj, : here is the url : http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/12/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-kubuntu-11-04/ [11:29] sky100, interesting , that the first time I've seen a /boot partition recommended in a tutorial . It may have to do with all the grub problems and windows mbr on dual boot setups === rain is now known as Guest15090 [11:31] i see BluesKaj [11:31] ok [11:32] BluesKaj, : I followed the tutorial in letters , & Kubuntu installed without a pinch of issue [11:38] sky100, it's not really necessary , but apparently it used to be common practice before grub2 was released === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:40] BluesKaj, : i see [11:42] the claim is to be able to boot a messed up system , but that's what most ppl use the tty for, and the live cd === andrey__ is now known as Agarty [11:45] i see BluesKaj [11:45] anyway it's not a bad thing :) [11:46] ok , thanx for your confirmation [11:46] i was bit worried :| [11:46] it does take away a partition tho [11:47] yep , a small partition though [11:48] so if you need another partition for another OS , then you might have to sacrifice the swap or the boot [11:49] but i have 21Gb unallocated [11:49] doesn [11:50] though i dont need to install any other OS than having 2 OS on my this system.. [11:50] XP & kubuntu.. enough for this old machine to bear with [11:51] nowadays i bearly use MS [11:51] barely* [11:52] i want to get a empty folder on my desktop.. how could i ?

[12:11] arnd 320Gb or even more ? [12:11] Hey BluesKaj, sky100. How are you both? [12:11] hey lordievader [12:12] im fine , ty lordievader , how abt you [12:12] the WD3600 is 360G and the WD1600 is 160G , also i have 1TB external sata drive for media files [12:12] hi lordievader [12:12] I'm doing allright [12:12] lordievader, .. u would be glad to note that i habe been able to install Kubuntu 12.04 on my other partition [12:13] have* [12:13] sky100: Good for you :) [12:13] & so far it okay [12:13] fine thanks lordievader [12:13] yep .. im happy to get kubuntu back .. which i was missing badly [12:14] Yeah, once you are familliar with the system it becomes a dream. And you wish, when you are using Windows, that it is more like linux XD [12:15] lol [12:15] I use windows everyday! [12:16] My cat likes them too. [12:16] :p [12:16] Fresh air is good for thinking ;] [12:16] (Sorry, I had to do this) [12:16] Looking out into the world, dreaming, is good too! [12:16] :] [12:16] Even my cat likes it! [12:17] now have to install adobe flash & other stuffs [12:17] Wow that is quite a feat for Windows :P [12:17] sky100: apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras [12:17] ;] [12:17] Pack of codecs, flashes, java plugins and so. [12:18] yes , periodically I decide to dual boot to catch up on windows and to help friends who have probs , to refamiliarize myself with windows so i can help them , but after 2 week or so I always get tired of the windows quirks and i wipe it [12:18] I have it installed for photo work and audio. That are the only things I use it for. [12:18] oh i find the you tube videos are running .. then adobe is installed .. [12:18] dunno how it got installed on its own !! [12:18] sky100: Hmm. HTML5? :> [12:19] haven't done any dual booting for a couple of yrs tho [12:19] sky100: you can allways check it in package manager. [12:19] ok [12:19] i installed apper [12:19] sky100: fastest method is: dpkg -l | grep flash [12:20] guys, is there a backport or something to get a different phonon backend?. I'm not confortable with gstreamer nor vlc [12:20] sky100, flash gets installed by default with kubuntu [12:20] sky100: solved :D [12:20] wow [12:20] yeah Wizard [12:20] vlc doesn't allow me to set equalizer [12:20] thats the beauty of kbuntu [12:21] I still can't belive I returned to KDE and I don't want to change it again. [12:21] even i find that audio is working .. [12:21] chachan: There is a pulse equalizer... You have to do some hacking since it is not available for 12.04. I'll get a link. [12:21] * Wizard returns to coding. [12:21] BBL. [12:22] chachan http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer.html [12:22] did not have to do any thing to get sound working [12:22] lordievader, thanks! [12:22] alsamixer... [12:22] chachan, the alsa eq ? [12:22] chachan: If you run into problem let me know. [12:23] Nah. [12:23] BluesKaj, I tried to set the amarok eq, but it said that my backend doesn't have that feature or so [12:23] have to configure my xchat client alot afterwards [12:23] Coding's boring. [12:23] lordievader, for sure [12:24] sky100: Usually drivers come with kernel and most devices should work out of the box. [12:24] lordievader, is pulseaudio-equalizer and GUI app?, gtk-based or some non-KDE stlye? [12:24] sky100: If the don't, it means either device is not supported at all, or serious hacks has to be made. [12:25] chachan, well either use the alasa equalizer orthe pulseaudio , but Ialways had good luck with the alsa-eq ...it's your call [12:25] chachan: I think it is gtk but it looks allright here. [12:25] lordievader, ok let me check [12:25] BluesKaj: I've allways had good experience with pulse eq [12:26] Wizard, : xchat is fine so far .. [12:26] Personally I prefer konversation, but xchat's OK. [12:26] :) [12:26] sky100: For how long have you been using Linux? [12:26] but i need to configure like posting audio player infos, system infos, etc [12:27] hmm for abt 2 months or so ... [12:27] then i had some probs last wekk itself .. & had to reinstall it [12:27] lordievader, Ididn't use pulse back then , only started using pulse for webaudio since I installed a pci soundcard [12:27] Ah, that kind of cra^H^H^Hstuff. [12:27] 12.04 [12:27] i was using 11.10 earlier [12:28] Linux is like love, after 2-3 months you get bored or you know that's it! ;P [12:29] Wizard: that's not love [12:29] im not bored at all .. Wizard [12:29] :) [12:29] Tm_T: than what if not love? [12:29] im all eager to get into it in a deeper way [12:30] Eh, just like me, when I was younger. [12:31] Nah, "those were the days of good hunting and good sleeping". [12:31] Wizard: love is what is left after that first month's infatuation [12:31] ok guys .. gotta go for now .. [12:32] ty you all [12:32] See you. [12:32] cya soon [12:32] :) [12:32] cya [12:32] Tm_T: I guess we could move it to offtopic channel ;] [12:32] indee [12:32] d [12:32] But yes, I agree.

[12:40] oneadvent: throw that into a script and then run the script === Avihay_ is now known as Avihay [12:41] Although, needing sudo access for that would be aproblem. [12:41] Pici: I did that: http://paste2.org/p/2026191 [12:41] Make it kdesudo, it'll give a gui asking for the password [12:41] ahh kdesudo, lemme try that. [12:41] gksudo = gnome [12:42] Be sure to put the command you want sudoed in "" [12:42] yea i tried that lol, been a while since i needed that command [12:42] hmmm ok [12:43] yea i dont think it is running still...no output on terminal and no program popping up. It does ask for the password now [12:43] Does D3 even work under Wine? or are you trying to debug it? [12:43] oh it works fine [12:44] Neat1 [12:44] someone set up a ppa that is easy for people BUT it still has to have that tee command [12:44] so i was trying to automate it so my kid can play (i can give him the password) [12:45] hmm the quotations make it run if I ctrl-c after i put the "wine" line on a second line instead of && [12:53] hola [12:53] Hi, how to get volume conmore sensibility? It this moment, volume have 20 scroll points, how to get 50 - for example? [12:58] for anyone following: I changed the line to 'kdesudo "echo 0 > /the/file/path"' and it works fine [12:59] need to really find a way to give my user permission to write to that file anyway then it would be 1 step better [12:59] Husar, open alsamixer in the terminal [12:59] make sure the Master, PCM, [12:59] Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key' [12:59] then turn those controls up to the max. [12:59] thx, will try [13:00] oneadvent: What file does the user need acces to? === munny is now known as saezz_2 [13:06] BluesKaj: this do not help me, in console i can increase volume with 1 point, but if scroling volume slider, 1 point = 5 point in console === saezz_2 is now known as munny [13:08] i want to scroon 1 pint on mouse wheel, and get 1 pont on console, not 5 [13:08] Isn't there some alsa volume command you can bind to a key or something?

[13:18] i'm sure there would be, im knew to kubuntu too though so not sure :( [13:18] Probably yes, but I've never did it.
