| Joit | i think also that a lot of windows problems are homemade, that others have work to fix it, and make a busines from it | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Avihay | oh, I also agree with the feeling that installing/uninstalling things in windows make the system feel significantly more bloated. can you re-install windows nowadays? or does it count against your activation limit? | 00:02 |
| cancer | Joit: just cut/pasted the data ;) | 00:03 |
| Joit | cancer: it s better you burn it there | 00:03 |
| Joit | that would make the usb stick bootable | 00:04 |
| cancer | yes doing it | 00:04 |
| cancer | k3b isn't detecting any medium to burn on. | 00:05 |

| Avihay | sunitasethi: other then that, it's just another OS that you can run the KDE SC on | 00:05 |
| Joit | cancer: sigh | 00:06 |
| Joit | can you actually boot from a usb stick? do you have a idea? mostly you need to change your biso from it, do you know how to do that? | 00:06 |
| Joit | your bios* | 00:07 |
| cancer | Joit: i think i'm good with widows os's and their terminal as well. | 00:07 |
| cancer | Joit: know it well.:) | 00:07 |
| cancer | bios :) | 00:07 |
| cancer | only this Linux is issue with me right now :D | 00:08 |
| cancer | Joit: i have never booted machine from this usb i'm currently using but used other usbdrive 4gb & i don't have that now. | 00:09 |
| cancer | Anyways it's working fine with data. don't know about either will work with boot or not. | 00:09 |
| Joit | i need to look for that, how you can bring that iso at the proper format to the usbstick | 00:09 |
| Joit | ok, that are good news anyway | 00:10 |
| Joit | just for recover, you need to have a running system | 00:10 |
| cancer | this is running. | 00:10 |
| cancer | you want me to do imagebin? | 00:11 |
| Joit | i dont know that :p | 00:13 |

| Joit | !info imagewriter | 00:16 |

| cancer | Joit: i mean that with screenshots :-p | 00:16 |
| Joit | cancer: you could try this usb writer to bring that iso on your stick | 00:17 |
| cancer | sure, otherwise k3b will take time to configure it to find medium. | 00:18 |
| Joit | err. it looks like a backup program | 00:19 |
| cancer | what ? | 00:19 |
| Joit | writes img files to usb, doesnt mean, it can handle iso files | 00:19 |
| Joit | img imgaes files | 00:19 |
| cancer | well there are tiny tools to make bootable usb | 00:20 |
| Joit | images* like a backuped drive | 00:20 |

| Joit | lol | 00:47 |
| linuxfreak78 | Hello all. Would anyone be so kind as to point me to the setting which causes KDE to remember window positions? | 00:47 |
| Joit | did you copy the iso file wit unet? | 00:48 |
| cancer | yes i did. | 00:48 |
| cancer | it have given some error | 00:48 |
| cancer | attempting to boot from USB | 00:48 |
| cancer | Too many operating system blah blah | 00:48 |
| Joit | lol | 00:49 |
| Joit | never heared this | 00:49 |
| cancer | it's refusing because of having active OS | 00:49 |
| cancer | too many active operating system/boot... something like that. | 00:49 |
| sunitasethi | Avihay: thanks | 00:50 |
| Joit | when you turn off the hdd at the bios, then it will ? | 00:50 |
| cancer | when machine restart, first apear grub, then windows bootloader :D | 00:50 |
| Joit | it shouldnt | 00:51 |
| Joit | you know what your bios is? | 00:51 |
| Joit | you enter it at start mostly with the del key or f2 | 00:51 |
| cancer | Basic Input / output system. | 00:51 |
| Joit | yeahh | 00:51 |
| cancer | Yes, f2, Del. | 00:51 |
| Avihay | linuxfreak78: system settings->window behaviour->window behaviour-> advanced , or system settings->window behaviour->Window rules , I think | 00:51 |
| cancer | some machine use f10 too ;D | 00:51 |
| Joit | it usual should not start grub, but go directly to the usb stick | 00:51 |
| Avihay | should be Built In OS | 00:52 |
| cancer | wait | 00:52 |
| Joit | that is what i would expect, i never made an bootable usb stick | 00:52 |
| cancer | Avihay: we talking clonezilla. | 00:52 |
| Joit | clonezilla and then booting from the usb stick | 00:52 |
| cancer | i'm with 173 nvidia driver installed. | 00:53 |
| Joit | cancer did you use this driver before too? | 00:54 |
| cancer | currently they are installed and there is an issue what i'm seeing is its not detecting DVI | 00:54 |
| cancer | yes joit | 00:54 |
| linuxfreak78 | Thank you Avahay! That did the trick for me. I had to create a new, generic window rule and I'm happy once again. :) | 00:54 |
| cancer | Joit: even once i have managed to set its resolution to 1280x1024. but that is weird. it almost like using 4 monitors | 00:55 |
| Joit | so your 173 actually works so far. sounds like, you only have a section from your screen to view | 00:55 |
| Joit | or is your section only 1/4 from the complete screen? | 00:56 |
| cancer | Joit: example: take a picture and tear it in 4 pieces. i piece adjust in screen for other i have to move curson @ one monitor rate to get to the one of those 3 pieces | 00:57 |
| m0nkeylab | &khi | 00:57 |
| m0nkeylab | #minecraft | 00:57 |
| cancer | hope you get my point. | 00:57 |
| Joit | yeah i remeber having the same view | 00:57 |
| Joit | do you want to install the 290.10 driver? | 00:58 |
| cancer | Joit: surely, i'll do that now. | 00:58 |
| cancer | don't care about kubuntu now. :D | 00:59 |
| Joit | you may should only prepared to fix it with in the tty in case it doesnt work | 00:59 |
| cancer | that hope will be simple doing by removing them back. | 00:59 |
| cancer | sudo apt-get remove nvidia-290 | right | 00:59 |
| Joit | yes, its maybe only apt-get install nvidia-current | 01:00 |
| Joit | yeah that too | 01:00 |
| cancer | and how to undo this | sudo apt-get purge nvidia | 01:00 |
| === mike is now known as Guest48427 | ||
| Joit | not sure, if it gets overwritten with a new install | 01:01 |
| Joit | but cant answer that sorry | 01:01 |
| cancer | Joit: trying it on current drivers first :D | 01:01 |
| Joit | yeah, mainly right now it looks like its only the acpi parameter | 01:02 |
| cancer | ops, did i missed something | 01:02 |
| Joit | that was the line, what you did add to the grub.cfg | 01:03 |
| Joit | i don think, you did | 01:03 |
| cancer | may be i did one. | 01:03 |
| cancer | http://shitohichiumaya.blogspot.de/2012/01/using-nvidia-quadro-10000m-lenovo-w520.html?m=1 | 01:03 |

| cancer | little difference | 01:10 |
| Joit | only 3 different pices now? | 01:11 |
| cancer | it now max for 1024x768 | 01:11 |
| Joit | lol | 01:11 |
| Joit | hope its not the only better thing | 01:11 |
| cancer | Joit: not that 4 pices thing happened when configured it manually, maybe i did some multipul monitor thing. | 01:11 |
| cancer | Joit: it's now not confirm which driver are in use. | 01:12 |
| cancer | let me lspci | grep -i VGA | 01:12 |

| L3top | Well... a desktop would be a good first sign | 01:18 |

| L3top | I don't know how much better you will be able to go with that vga/dvi adapter | 01:19 |
| L3top | but you could play a video... do you have any HD content? | 01:20 |
| L3top | I see a lot of people test things with glgears or something to that effect | 01:20 |

| L3top | apt-get install nvidia-settings | 01:26 |

| cancer | now | 01:27 |
| L3top | check k button for nvidia again | 01:27 |

| L3top | I cant see why a reboot would be needed. | 01:29 |
| cancer | giving it a shot. | 01:29 |
| cancer | L3top: nothing again | 01:31 |
| L3top | we dont use, and specifically break this tool | 01:31 |
| L3top | so let me look something up. | 01:32 |
| cancer | sure | 01:32 |
| L3top | cancer: in terminal can you type sudo nvidia-settings | 01:38 |
| cancer | You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 01:38 |
| cancer | window opened | 01:39 |
| szal | cancer: do that | 01:39 |
| cancer | sudo nvidia-xconfig | 01:39 |
| cancer | sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 01:39 |
| szal | cancer: in other words, you don't have the NVIDIA driver installed | 01:40 |
| cancer | szal: sure? | 01:40 |
| szal | because if you had, it'd most certainly be there | 01:40 |
| cancer | ok, | 01:40 |
| szal | (though that would not explain the presence of nvidia-settings) | 01:41 |
| cancer | szal: is there a way to undo these: sudo apt-get purge nvidia* | sudo apt-get purge nvidia-173 | 01:41 |
| szal | cancer: what card do you have | 01:41 |
| szal | ? | 01:41 |
| cancer | nvidia quadro fx1000 | 01:42 |
| szal | ugh, ancient.. | 01:42 |
| cancer | szal: :D will 'remove' after 'purge' in both commands will work? | 01:42 |
| skreech__ | szal: ha ha funny | 01:43 |
| szal | (1) sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 (2) sudo nvidia-xconfig (3) reboot <- that should be all it takes | 01:43 |
| cancer | ok | 01:44 |
| szal | cancer: back in those wild days before everyone and their grandmother used Linux, it used to be 'apt-get remove --purge <packagename>' | 01:46 |
| szal | cancer: and don't expect miracles from the nvidia-173 driver; desktop effect will most likely not work, causing a blank screen instead (unfixed shader bug that probably won't get fixed any more) | 01:48 |

| Guest46959 | Hi | 16:55 |
| Guest46959 | Does 'CTRL + ALT (numpad +/-)' change resolution :D? | 16:56 |
| Guest46959 | l3Does 'CTRL + ALT (numpad +/-)' change resolution :D? | 16:58 |
| Guest46959 | L3tops: does 'CTRL + ALT (numpad +/-)' change resolution :D? | 16:58 |
| Guest46959 | I'm getting Signal out of range. | 16:59 |
| L3tops | not to my knowledge | 16:59 |
| BluesKaj | Guest46959, that KB command doesn't work here | 17:00 |
| Guest46959 | KB? | 17:00 |
| Guest46959 | L3tops: any manual way to get out of that prob. | 17:01 |
| L3tops | hmm... do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? (I am poo with xranr) | 17:02 |
| Guest46959 | i'm currently using xp. cannot get into /etc/x11/xorg.conf. wait let try to fetch that file. | 17:03 |
| Guest46959 | L3tops: http://paste.kde.org/487040/ | 17:05 |
| Guest46959 | L3tops: ? | 17:10 |
| Guest46959 | BluesKaj: is there any way i can change resolution from tty? | 17:11 |
| mmh | i have issue with ethenet internet connection please have a look at this http://paste.kde.org/487046/ in the process of helping me. | 17:13 |
| L3tops | I can give you a custom xorg.conf to change it... but it is probably going to take me a few... a little busy with my own probls atm. I do not know another way but I am sure there is. | 17:16 |
| Guest46959 | custom xorg.conf? | 17:18 |
| BluesKaj | Guest46959, do you mean the tty resolution? | 17:18 |
| L3tops | well.. they are all custom... I mean I can add a few lines to force a resolution that should work on just about anything so you can fix it | 17:18 |
| Guest46959 | BluesKaj: everythink loads fine till grub, but i can't get into login, there comes the 'signal out of range' and it's all black. so i asked if could solve it using 'TTY' | 17:19 |
| Guest46959 | L3tops: sure? | 17:20 |
| Guest46959 | OK, sure. | 17:20 |
| Guest46959 | BluesKaj: i believe it's resolution problem. just messed with my drivers. | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | all xorg.conf are 'custom" , since xorg.conf no longer exists by default | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | Guest46959, what did you do 'messed with your drivers " ? | 17:22 |
| Guest46959 | not messed, actually installed them. | 17:23 |
| lorddelta | Lots of updates today... | 17:23 |
| lorddelta | Is something going on I don't know about? | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | Guest46959, which graphics card ? | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | lorddelta, depends on your OS version | 17:24 |
| Guest46959 | BluesKaj: Nvidia. but i need to fix resolution right know. | 17:24 |
| lorddelta | BluesKaj: I'm running 12.04... | 17:24 |
| lorddelta | Guess I could grep my source.list file for beta channel links... | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | Guest46959, then we nee to the right driver to install for your card . dpkg -l | grep nvidia , then post the line beside "nvidia-current-updates" | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | need to know | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | lorddelta, beta channel links ? ...don't you have the latest release installed ? | 17:29 |
| lorddelta | BluesKaj: Just checking that I don't have some weird testing repository installed. | 17:29 |
| lorddelta | Although it looks like i'm getting my packages from archive.ubuntu.com...so its doubtful. | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , it is | 17:30 |
| lorddelta | Yup, I don't have any weird repos. | 17:31 |
| lorddelta | I'm not really complaining. Everything looks good. Just seems like there've been lots of updates recently. Updates are generally good. :) | 17:32 |
| * L3tops thinks that guest is cancer | 17:32 | |
| lorddelta | Granted I'm seeing networkmanager updates, so I'll be happy if they're just fixing the bugs that were crashing the system recently... | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | L3tops, well. if it is ..he shoots himself in the foot almost everyday | 17:34 |
| lorddelta | *moving along* | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | L3tops, you're right . I scrolled back ..it's him | 17:37 |
| L3tops | ot | 17:37 |
| mcloy | how to know how many ram (physical in slot and how much each) does the system have without physically looking at the hardware.? | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | mcloy, type free in the terminal | 17:52 |
| mcloy | BluesKaj, thats giving total. answer to my question was sudo dmidecode | 17:56 |
| BluesKaj | mcloy, good to know , thanks | 17:58 |
| mcloy | welcome | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | wow, that's a bit too much info :) | 18:00 |
| mcloy | BluesKaj, lspci -v will give you more | 18:03 |
| Syria | Hello,,, How Can I apply a socks proxy system wide? Kubuntu 12.04 . | 18:05 |
| Syria | please... | 18:05 |
| lorddelta | So basic question...but say I want lsb_release -a to say Kubuntu? | 18:08 |
| lorddelta | It currently says Ubuntu | 18:08 |
| lorddelta | KDE works just fine. | 18:08 |
| lorddelta | But. I'd like to switch at will ;) | 18:08 |
| Syria | System wide proxy please. :( | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | lorddelta, it won't say kubuntu afaik | 18:14 |
| lorddelta | BluesKaj: This because Kubuntu no longer officially exists in Canonical's eyes? | 18:14 |
| lorddelta | Or that's just how it is? | 18:14 |
| mozzy39 | think its just how it is | 18:17 |
| mozzy39 | System: Host linux-desktop Kernel 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 (64 bit) | 18:17 |
| mozzy39 | Desktop KDE 4.8.3 Distro Ubuntu 12.04 precise | 18:17 |
| mozzy39 | id like that to say Kubuntu myself | 18:18 |
| mozzy39 | guess it looks more to the base then the DM | 18:18 |
| mozzy39 | desktop manager | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | lor nope , it's because both OS use the same core | 18:19 |
| mozzy39 | or should i say DE | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | lorddelta, ^ | 18:19 |
| mozzy39 | yeah same core | 18:19 |
| mozzy39 | so it reads the core and just spits that out | 18:20 |
| mozzy39 | my guess | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | Syria, system settings>nework settings>proxy | 18:20 |
| Syria | BluesKaj: Which option should I choose please? | 18:22 |
| Syria | BluesKaj: Use system proxy configuration? | 18:23 |
| Syria | BluesKaj: I want it to affect virtual box. BluesKaj | 18:23 |
| lorddelta | Ok. | 18:29 |
| lorddelta | mozzy39, BluesKaj, I can live with that. | 18:29 |
| lorddelta | At least until Kubuntu raises enough support/garners a kernel/distro dev. | 18:29 |
| lorddelta | Granted I guess it means I can still purchase support from Canonical... | 18:30 |
| graft | okay, i ask this question every few weeks, still hoping for an answer: how do i make firefox use KDE programs instead of gnome ones (or, for some reason i cannot fathom, acrobat reader)? | 18:32 |
| BluesKaj | graft, do you have gnome/unity installed ? | 18:33 |
| lorddelta | graft: firefox doesn't have the programs preferences section? | 18:34 |
| lorddelta | *Applications | 18:34 |
| graft | yeah, this was originally an ubuntu install | 18:34 |
| graft | lorddelta: yeah, but i don't want to have to go through and change every single application by hand | 18:35 |
| lorddelta | hmm... | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | syon, sorry , I'm not real familiar with proxy | 18:35 |
| graft | this is why i use computers for things, so they can do the work for me :) | 18:35 |
| lorddelta | graft: Theoretically | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | oops he's gone | 18:35 |
| lorddelta | Although in this case some poor human had to do it by hand originally | 18:36 |
| lorddelta | graft: I don't know that there would be a kde firefox compat package, but that's what I'd look for | 18:36 |
| lorddelta | graft: rekonq is kde's browser | 18:37 |
| graft | yeah... i would assume they'd support other browsers though | 18:37 |
| === gary_ is now known as Guest60124 | ||
| BluesKaj | graft, then gnome apps are still default . so if you want kde apps to be default hen you know what to do | 18:37 |
| lorddelta | graft: I wouldn't assume anything as presumptious as that | 18:37 |
| graft | BluesKaj: what's that? | 18:38 |
| lorddelta | BluesKaj: You sure that affects the browser? | 18:38 |
| L3tops | graft: it is a :settings thing in firefox what is used | 18:38 |
| lorddelta | BluesKaj: I know I've run into issues like graft's before, changing system defaults didn't always change firefox's | 18:38 |
| L3tops | you type something in the address bar beginning with : | 18:38 |
| L3tops | I cant remember what it is | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | lorddelta, nope I'm not sure , but FF defaults to gnome if it's available > I can tell you that from experience | 18:39 |
| graft | sigh... should i try rekonq? is it anywhere close to as nice as firefox? | 18:43 |
| graft | well, it seems to have crashed out of the box, so i guess no | 18:44 |
| lelamal | graft: you can always try konqueror | 18:49 |
| BluesKaj | graft, FF integration with kde is being dropped ...heard that thru the rumour mill ...is chromium an option for you ? | 18:49 |
| robotdevil | WHAT | 18:52 |
| robotdevil | I only use ff, konq is slow, chormium looks rough | 18:52 |
| graft | BluesKaj: i use chromium sometimes, but i much prefer FF... does chromium integrate any better? | 18:53 |
| graft | what's the deal with konq vs. rekonq? | 18:53 |
| robotdevil | I think rekonq is supposed to be more of a browser and less of dev tool | 18:54 |
| graft | konqueror is meant to be a dev tool? | 18:54 |
| lelamal | graft: konqueror is KDE's default browser, has been around for a while and is very stable. Rekonq is rather young and still buggy | 18:54 |
| BluesKaj | dunno , sounds political ...konqueror was/is a perfectly goiod browser | 18:54 |
| BluesKaj | good | 18:54 |
| BluesKaj | used it for a long time | 18:55 |
| graft | konqueror isn't even installed on my system, it seems like | 18:55 |
| graft | so either kubuntu thinks rekonq is a better default, or it's on the outs | 18:55 |
| robotdevil | anyone try launching .exe from the desktop on 12.04 I couldnt get it to work | 18:55 |
| graft | i used konqueror a lot back in like 2002 and it was a fine alternative to mozilla then | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | graft, like i said , it's political ... just mention that in the kde chat and certain pll will throw thinly veiled insults :) | 19:07 |
| BluesKaj | robotdevil, is the file extn .exe , then you have to run it in wine or windows | 19:09 |
| robotdevil | BluesKaj: yes, anyway how do I make a shortcut to point to a windows executable from the desktop or from the panel | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | robotdevil, well drag it to the desktop or panel , it should open with wine if wine is installed | 19:19 |
| cancer | L3tops: can i get xorg.conf | 19:19 |
| robotdevil | I dont want the executable on the desktop just a link | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | it is a link | 19:21 |
| cancer | BluesKaj: did L3tops posted any link for custom 'xorg.conf' file? | 19:22 |
| BluesKaj | dunno | 19:23 |
