[00:00] <BarkingFish> at the bottom of the left pane, is a checkbox "Show advanced devices" - is it checked?
[00:00] <BarkingFish> if not, please check it and you will get a lot more options
[00:00] <richard_> It is now. . . .
[00:01] <BarkingFish> and do you get more options?
[00:02] <richard_> Got a few more options that were greyed out. . . . checked them all again and still no sound. . . .
[00:02] <BarkingFish> righty ho.
[00:02] <BarkingFish> Now we have to dig into your system then.
[00:02] <BarkingFish> And i mean "really" dig down
[00:02] <BarkingFish> do you still have your terminal open?
[00:02] <lorddelta> BarkingFish: Hmm, well then I don't really understand what pulseaudio's for, other than weird network stuff! oh well it just works.
[00:03] <richard_> yes
[00:03] <richard_> The topmost option HDA ATI SD (ALC1200 Analog) is what use to work all the time if I remember correctly. . ..
[00:03] <BarkingFish> pulseaudio took over from arts and artsd as an audio scheduler, lorddelta - simply scheduling audio from other places so it didn't lag or hang
[00:04] <BarkingFish> aha
[00:04] <BarkingFish> ALC1200 analog... one moment.
[00:04] <BarkingFish> Mine is an ALC880
[00:04] <BarkingFish> lemme just go look at something, won't be a tick
[00:06] <richard_> HDA ATI SB (ALC1200 Analog) correction not SD but SB I guess for sound board. ...
[00:07] <BarkingFish> i thought so... :P
[00:07] <BarkingFish> Could you please, in your terminal, type: lsmod and tell me if you happen to have a module called snd_hda_intel_realtek loaded please?
[00:07] <richard_> Ok hold on. . ..
[00:08] <BarkingFish> sorry - snd_hda_codec_realtek
[00:09] <richard_> It's there. . .. .with a  1 at the end of the line
[00:09] <BarkingFish> ok, so you have part of the right stuff in your system, there's certainly a module there for the HD audio codec
[00:09] <BarkingFish> could you next please - type locate ac97
[00:10] <BarkingFish> don't post the results, simply tell me if you get any at all :)
[00:10] <richard_> There's a ton of Ac97 files in /usr/
[00:11] <BarkingFish> excellent, again, you have the right bits there too.
[00:11] <BarkingFish> How do you listen to your sound? External speakers, or built in ones?
[00:11] <richard_> I've got to run  . . ..dinner is on. . ..wife is s screaming. . . . external spkrs. . .. will be back late. .. .thnx. . .. .
[00:11] <richard_> bye. . .. .
[00:11] <BarkingFish> ok, I won't be here
[00:11] <BarkingFish> but I will catch you tomorrow night if you're not fixed by then
[00:12] <BarkingFish> It's late in the UK
[00:26] <neo69> hi
[00:27] <neo69> I'm getting a error when updating kubuntu. It can't get the following packages "http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources" and "http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages"
[00:28] <neo69> what should I do?
[01:52] <donpumba> join ireland
[02:06] <kish> Why did kde daemon just crash
[02:06] <kish> why did kmix crash the day before?
[02:06] <kish> i didn't have these problems in gnome
[02:46] <yjacket> When I insert a DVD, it gets mounted as /media/Video Ts/ with the VIDEO TS folder inside, and vlc can't open it via /dev/dvd or /dev/sr0 (my dvd drive)
[02:58] <Hganavak> Anyone recommend an alternative to OneNote?
[03:14] <frogonwheels> yjacket: maybe look at the device notifier settings
[03:14] <AndroidLoverInSF> my kde bottom taskbar has all the active app icons scrunched up on the left. how can i make those icons bigger and expand to the right, and shrink the panel app icons to the right of them?
[03:15] <frogonwheels> AndroidLoverInSF: click on the 'palette' icon on the right, and move things aroudn so that more space is available for the taskbar
[03:17] <frogonwheels> AndroidLoverInSF: does the taskbar cover the whole width of the bottom? do you have many try icons?
[03:17] <frogonwheels> AndroidLoverInSF: you know you can have multiple taskbars?
[03:23] <AndroidLoverInSF> i clicked on the palette, but it just lets me move icons around
[03:24] <yjacket> heh, i just installed kubuntu and it took me a bit to figure out the taskbar gui...
[03:25] <yjacket> frogonwheels: Device Notifier Settings? Is that the menu that shows actions you can do with mounted media?
[03:31] <AndroidLoverInSF> oh so if i add a spacer, then add my app icons into that spacer. if i add more app icons, the icons will be smaller? and fit inside the spacer?
[04:05] <littlegirl> Hey there, does anybody here use the Mallard markup language?
[04:36] <smithendo> I am on Kubuntu v12.04, and my TL-WN722N usb wireless adapter is detecting networks, but the LED doesnt light up when I try to connect
[04:37] <smithendo> and just sits there saying "requesting authentication"... the network is up, I am on it right now, and this adapter works fine with windows
[04:38] <smithendo> is there a way I can look at the drivers devices are using on kubuntu?
[04:54] <mr-rich> When is the point release due out?

[11:42] <qw> http://s019.radikal.ru/i626/1206/0a/e3898f9da433.jpg
[11:42] <qw> this?
[11:43] <lordievader> qw: It seems you are running an update. Let it finish reboot and check again, good practice to update before an upgrade.
[11:46] <qw> what is command from update ?
[11:46] <lordievader> qw: The way it looks you are already updating.
[11:47] <qw> root@qw:~# update
[11:47] <qw> No command 'update' found, did you mean:
[11:47] <qw>  Command 'uupdate' from package 'devscripts' (main)
[11:47] <qw>  Command 'lupdate' from package 'libqt4-dev' (main)
[11:47] <qw>  Command 'lupdate' from package 'qt3-dev-tools' (main)
[11:47] <qw> update: command not found
[11:47] <FloodBotK1> qw: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:49] <lordievader> qw: You shouldn't use root, use sudo instead. Secondly, as I said, you are already updating let it finish.
[12:02] <qw> i am upgrade in konsole
[12:02] <lordievader> qw: Has the update finished?
[12:02] <qw> no
[12:03] <qw> upgradeit

[12:07] <qw> lordievader http://pastebin.com/5B7zVW4q
[12:11] <lordievader> qw: You where already running an update, in the screenshot you showed earlier, has that finished?
[12:11] <qw> no finished
[12:12] <qw> upgrade finished is 30 min
[12:13] <lordievader> qw: Wait for it to finish, after it has finished reboot. (Is it an upgrade or an update?)
[12:14] <qw> root@qw:~# sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[12:15] <lordievader> qw: Again, do not use root, use sudo. What was it that you where running in the screenshot?
[12:16] <qw> that screenshot is in the past
[12:17] <qw> ш цщкл акщь лщтыщду

[12:25] <lordievader> Is this in the update window or somewhere else, qw?
[12:25] <qw> maybe in Konqeror
[12:26] <lordievader> qw: Where do you see this error in the update window or in any other window, qw?
[12:26] <qw> other
[12:27] <lordievader> qw: Ok, we will leave that for what it is, for now. Has the update process finished yet?

[12:30] <sky100> data burnt on DVD-R by using k3B tool is not being shown in notifier after reinserting the disc
[12:31] <sky100> nor its showing up in dolphin .. but the DVD-R burnt in windows xp using cdburnerxp is being shown up in dolphin ...
[12:31] <sky100> cant figure this out .. any help pls........
[12:31] <lordievader> sky100: Is the one burnt by k3b being read on a different pc?
[12:32] <sky100> did not try that out .. lordievader
[12:33] <lordievader> sky100: Perhaps it is a good idea to check that. Can you narrow it down where something goes wrong.
[12:33] <sky100> other pc where i like to test is running on windows xp
[12:33] <sky100> thats not my pc .. its someone's laptop
[12:34] <lordievader> sky100: It's just for testing to see if different hardware will read the cd/dvd
[12:35] <sky100> im really  confused to figure out where it could have gone wrong .. lordievader
[12:35] <sky100> ok
[12:36] <sky100> i burnt some cd-rw using kB last nite , and the notifier recognised it immediately after reinserting the disc & dolphin shower up also
[12:36] <sky100> showed *
[12:36] <sky100> but after burning DVD-R using kb its just failing to read it
[12:37] <sky100> k3B*
[12:37] <lordievader> sky100: Exactly that is why you need to work methodically, crossing out things that could be the problem. I.e. you currently have to major thing that could go wrong, either it hasn't burned correctly or it is not being read correctly. With a simple test (see if something else reads it) you can find out which one it is.
[12:39] <sky100> i had thought that this could be burner related issue .. but if that would be , then using cdburnerxp , i would not be able to burn DVD-R
[12:40] <lordievader> sky100: Have you tested the disc in something else?
[12:40] <qw> lordievader
[12:40] <qw> 2 min
[12:41] <sky100> i tested in windowsxp lordievader
[12:41] <lordievader> sky100: And could that system read the disc burned with k3b?
[12:41] <sky100> its not being read even by windows xp
[12:41] <lordievader> sky100: Ok that's good, we know that the error is in burning. Have you changed any of the options in k3b?
[12:41] <sky100> says incorrect function , disc is not accessible . lordievader
[12:42] <sky100> no
[12:42] <sky100> i changed nothing in the configurations in k3B
[12:42] <sky100> used default ., except speed
[12:43] <lordievader> sky100: Hmm. Could it be related to that DVD+R v.s. DVD-R thingie?
[12:43] <lordievader> Nah I guess not.
[12:43] <sky100> i used DVD-R
[12:43] <lordievader> sky100: Have you tried a different burning program?
[12:44] <sky100> & in the first case i used DVD+RW
[12:44] <qw> lordievader : 11 (Segmentation fault)
[12:44] <sky100> which was spolit
[12:44] <qw> ops
[12:44] <qw> sorry
[12:44] <qw> lordievader http://s017.radikal.ru/i426/1206/f8/d92cdcf885df.jpg
[12:44] <sky100> what programme lordievader
[12:44] <sky100> i used Brasero .. failed equally
[12:45] <lordievader> sky100: I'm looking for some now... hold on
[12:45] <sky100> ok
[12:45] <lordievader> qw: How come you are in konsole now? In an earlier screenshot you where running a gui updater. Oh well, just press enter (yes).

[13:05] <salsero313> that was all
[13:05] <lordievader> salsero313: What happens when you try to boot the system?
[13:06] <sky100> lordievader, : when u r free , pls give me a peep
[13:06] <lordievader> sky100: What is wrong?
[13:07] <sky100> u said u were looking for some other burning tools .. so i was awaiting for your reply ... but no  problem .. u take your time .. no rush
[13:07] <salsero313> there is no kdm. i have to login me in in the shell
[13:08] <lordievader> sky100: Didn't you see my message earlier, I said that I didn't know any of the list and therefore couldn't recommend any of them. Would be wrong to recommend something that I do not know.
[13:09] <lordievader> salsero313: From there could you run: "sudo service kdm start" for me please.
[13:09] <sky100> oh ok , lordievader  sorry , i overlooked your msg
[13:10] <lordievader> sky100: Anyhow what do you need to burn, believe it where avi's. And where do you want to be able to playback these dvds
[13:11] <salsero313> job is already running: kdm
[13:12] <lordievader> salsero313: Ok, run "sudo service kdm stop" and after that the start command again.
[13:12] <ignerious> salsero313: you may try "startx"
[13:13] <salsero313> i get know kdm start/running, process 2326
[13:13] <salsero313> what do you mean with startx?
[13:14] <lordievader> salsero313: But do you actually get to see kdm?\
[13:14] <sky100> lordievader, : yes its all .avi formats... one of my friends wanted me to burn some movies for him which i have in my pc .  he wants to play them either in his  pc or  DVD player .
[13:14] <salsero313> no i am in the shell
[13:14] <lordievader> sky100: Ok, have you read this: https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/281927-burn-cds-and-dvds-with-k3b
[13:15] <ignerious> salsero313: type "startx" as command press enter
[13:15] <lordievader> sky100: Mainly the Create Video DVDs section
[13:15] <lordievader> salsero313: Ctrl + alt + f7 (might be f8) also doesn't get you kdm?
[13:16] <sky100> lordievader,  no i didnt read that
[13:16] <sky100> ok
[13:16] <salsero313> after startx i get: xinit giving up
[13:16] <salsero313> xinit unable to connect to x server: no such file or directory
[13:16] <salsero313> xinit: server error
[13:17] <lordievader> salsero313: It might be your gfx driver failing, what gfx card do you have and what driver have you installed for it?
[13:18] <salsero313> i have nvidia geforce gt 320m
[13:18] <sky100> lordievader, . yeah , i read that already yesterday ---ty
[13:18] <salsero313> i have use the new driver
[13:18] <lordievader> sky100: So you have converted the avi to mpeg2 (VIDEO_TS + AUDIO_TS)?
[13:19] <lordievader> salsero313: Have you installed it manually? (The driver)
[13:19] <salsero313> no i have installed over kubuntu
[13:20] <lordievader> salsero313: Throught the additional driver installer (jockey)?
[13:20] <salsero313> not over muon.
[13:21] <lordievader> salsero313: Through muon?
[13:21] <salsero313> i have use the hardware driver. the hardware driver recommend a driver
[13:21] <salsero313> muon is like kpackage
[13:22] <lordievader> salsero313: Ok, ok. You could try to boot into the rescue mode, and see if kdm works through there.
[13:23] <salsero313> in /var/log/kdm.log there is: failed to load module "nv" (module doesnt exist, 0
[13:24] <salsero313> what should i do now?
[13:24] <mick_> a
[13:25] <lordievader> salsero313: Then it is probably failing to load the driver. You could try to reinstall the driver. I.e. remove the driver, reboot, install, reboot.
[13:25] <mick_> yes hello world - are we still slapping yet other with big fish
[13:25] <salsero313> how can i do it. should i boot with the kubuntu dvd?
[13:25] <lordievader> salsero313: So in your case you run "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*"
[13:26] <lordievader> salsero313: Nope you are at your shell right?
[13:26] <salsero313> i am in the shell
[13:27] <lordievader> salsero313: Ok, so run "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*"
[13:27] <salsero313> paket nvidia kann nicht gefunden werden.
[13:27] <salsero313> he cant find nvidia
[13:27] <salsero313> now it works
[13:27] <lordievader> salsero313: ?
[13:28] <lordievader> salsero313: Now what works?
[13:28] <salsero313> he delete kde-workspace, kubuntu desktop, kde-window-manager, libkwinnvidiahack4
[13:28] <lordievader> salsero313: Ohh that's not good.
[13:28] <lordievader> salsero313: Cancel that and make it "sudo apt-get remove nvidia*"
[13:28] <salsero313> it is to late. he is ready
[13:30] <lordievader> salsero313: That ain't good, it's allways a good idea to first check what he is going to remove. Anyhow run: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop kde-workspace kde-window-manager"
[13:31] <salsero313> i will boot with kubuntu dvd i try it. one minute
[13:31] <qw> lordievader upgrade in 10.10
[13:32] <lordievader> salsero313: Wait, why?
[13:32] <lordievader> qw: Have you rebooted, the upgrade/update has finished right?
[13:32] <salsero313> i have now internet
[13:33] <sky100> lordievader,  no i did not convert anything
[13:33] <salsero313> i have do this http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB_2/Reparatur#chroot-Methode
[13:33] <lordievader> sky100: You should else you cannot (in most cases) play it in an dvd-player.
[13:34] <qw> i am reboot
[13:34] <sky100> i wanted to burn them as i burnt .avi formats  in windows xp using cdburner xp .. really dont need to play ona DVD player
[13:34] <lordievader> salsero313: What, why? That is for grub things, not for kdm.
[13:35] <lordievader> sky100: Ah ok, I thought you needed that, never mind then.
[13:35] <sky100> just wanted to burn movies ( .avi ) on a DVD-R & handed down to my friend .. thats it .
[13:35] <sky100> ok
[13:35] <salsero313> i have to do the first step get internet
[13:36] <lordievader> salsero313: The grub insall? You know I'm starting to think that it's easier to just reinstall the system. Have you got /home on a separate partition?
[13:37] <sky100> so do u suggest that i should get that disc tested on other pc running on windows xp ?
[13:37] <sky100> lordievader,
[13:38] <sky100> or do would you like to recommend to uninstall k3b completely from kubuntu im on , reboot & reinstall it .. lordievader
[13:38] <sky100> i did the lens cleaning using LENS cleaning disc ...
[13:39] <lordievader> sky100: Look there are 2 things that could have gone wrong here, either A the burn failed, or B the reading of the disc fails. If a different machine cannot read the disc either you know it is option A.
[13:39] <sky100> ok
[13:41] <sky100> in fact i got surprised that 4 movies on a DVD-R of 3.6GB size only took 7 mins to be written on DVDS-R while , a single movie on a cd-rw of 700 Mb size almost 7 mins to write using k 3b..
[13:41] <sky100> DVD-R*
[13:42] <salsero313> yes i have have home on a separete partition
[13:42] <sky100>  a single movie of 700 Mb size took  almost 7 mins to be written using k3b*
[13:43] <lordievader> salsero313: Then I'm seriously considering recommending reinstalling the system.
[13:43] <sky100> would you suggest for an uninstallation of k3b , lordievader
[13:44] <lordievader> sky100: There is quite a difference between CD's and DVD's, DVD's probably have alot higher throughput.
[13:44] <sky100> yea
[13:44] <lordievader> sky100: Not sure if that would fix your problem.
[13:44] <sky100> really this bugging lordievader
[13:45] <qw> lordievader i like 10.10 =)
[13:45] <lordievader> sky100: I can immagine that.
[13:45] <sky100> No solution .. seems to be near
[13:46] <salsero313> ok i can do it. but can i not try something before i do it
[13:46] <lordievader> sky100: You could experiment with the settings in k3b. Or make a dual-boot with xp or something.
[13:46] <lordievader> salsero313: Have you removed the nvidia driver?
[13:47] <sky100> i have a dual boot lordievader
[13:47] <sky100> with xp
[13:47] <lordievader> sky100: You could just do your dvd burning in there.
[13:48] <salsero313> i did it but i remove other things too
[13:49] <sky100> yes .. i did it .. but it appears to be riddle to me lordievader  & also saddens me to hop for windows for a LINUX app being crippled
[13:50] <lordievader> Nothing is perfect, sky100.
[13:50] <salsero313> like delete kde-workspace, kubuntu desktop, kde-window-manager, libkwinnvidiahack4
[13:51] <sky100> agree with lordievader  , but as it works for others .. it should have worked for me as well.. thats the logic
[13:51] <lordievader> salsero313: No just all the nvidia packages, you need to keep kde-workspace, kubuntu-desktop, kde-window-manger (not sure about the libkwinn package)
[13:51] <tonyyy> bye guys
[13:51] <lordievader> Cya tonyyy
[13:52] <lordievader> sky100: That is logical, yes. But reality is not always logical.
[13:52] <sky100> hmm lordievader
[13:53] <sky100> even i thought for a fresh install of kubuntu 12.04 .. but then just pulled myself back...
[13:54] <sky100> will remain as enigmatic ...
[13:55] <sky100> weird issue..
[13:56] <qw> whether I should put an antivirus on Linux? and how to remove the login window to the system?
[13:57] <lordievader> qw: There is no need for an antivirus package on Linux. You want the system to automatically log you in?
[13:58] <qw> first - thanks, second - yes
[13:59] <lordievader> qw: Ok, go to System Settings -> Login Screen -> Convenience -> Tick Enable Auto-Login and under User you set your username and then click apply.
[14:00] <qw> my system is Russian =)
[14:00] <lordievader> qw: I can't speak Russian so you would need to translate it to Russian yourself.
[14:00] <salsero313> when i try to install kubuntu-desktop again kubuntu try to install nvidia-common too
[14:01] <lordievader> salsero313: Hmm, oh well leave the nvidia-common installed then too.
[14:01] <salsero313> should i install kde-window-manager, kubuntu-desktop, libkwinnvidiahack4, nvidia-common?
[14:01] <lordievader> salsero313: Yes
[14:02] <salsero313> should i install all 4 things?
[14:02] <qw> i am reboot
[14:03] <lordievader> salsero313: Yes.
[14:04] <qw> thanks its work
[14:04] <qw> but
[14:04] <sky100> lordievader, im just gonna check thye DVD-R used in k3b in other pc
[14:04] <qw> many times from reboot
[14:04] <sky100> the*
[14:04] <lordievader> sky100: Ok, good luck.
[14:04] <sky100> ty
[14:05] <salsero313> ok i have installed. what now?
[14:06] <sky100> lordievader,  one Q to aks u .. if it was something wine realetd isue
[14:06] <sky100> ask*
[14:06] <salsero313> i have do this http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB_2/Reparatur#chroot-Methode and then i installed. how can i unmount it?
[14:07] <sky100> may be im asking something irrelevant
[14:07] <sky100> but...
[14:07] <sky100> do I have to install WINE ...to get k3b working perfectly...
[14:07] <sky100> dunno
[14:10] <lordievader> salsero313: Check in muon if you have any nvidia packages other than nvidia-common.
[14:11] <qw> i would like install skype from linux help me please
[14:11] <lordievader> sky100: Unless there is a windows version of k3b those two are quite unrelated.
[14:11] <lordievader> salsero313: I'm not sure what you mean with that grub repair guide.
[14:11] <lordievader> qw: Go to their website download the .deb file and install it.
[14:12] <qw> maybe in konsole in command
[14:12] <qw> ?
[14:12] <lordievader> qw: For as far as I know it is not in the repos.
[14:13] <sky100> OK , lordievader
[14:13] <salsero313> in mouon is nvidia-173-dev, nvidia-96-dev,
[14:14] <lordievader> salsero313: You should remove those two (just those two, if you need to remove any other packages cancel it).
[14:15] <qw> in the offi. website i not see my system
[14:15] <lordievader> qw: What?
[14:15] <qw> maybe ubuntu 10.10
[14:15] <qw> http://www.skype.com/intl/ru/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/
[14:17] <qw> website have Ubuntu 10.04 +32 +64
[14:17] <lordievader> qw: You need the ubuntu package, depending on your system 32 bit or 64 bit.
[14:18] <qw> 32
[14:18] <lordievader> salsero313: After removing them reboot your system, and hopefully you get kdm back.
[14:19] <sky100> bbl , gotta go .. cya lordievader  , ty
[14:21] <salsero313> it is only nvidia-common installed. is it ok?
[14:22] <lordievader> salsero313: I think so, yes.
[14:27] <salsero313> kdm doesnt start :(
[14:28] <salsero313> kdm status is kdm start/running process 1241
[14:29] <BluesKaj> Hiyas folks
[14:49] <mah454> ubuntu or kubuntu 12.04 use upstart ?
[14:50] <lordievader> mah454: Yes (k)ubuntu uses upstart, though for most things you can still just use /etc/init.d/
[15:29] <salsero313> hi i have installed kubuntu 12.04 new. but i have no wlan connection
[16:16] <GeeksOnHugs> test
[16:17] <sky100> hi BluesKaj  , lordievader
[16:17] <GeeksOnHugs> test (sorry)
[16:18] <sky100> could not test the DVD-R , lordievader , his pc was not available
[16:26] <sky100> lordievader,  pls see this >>http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=75891.0
[16:26] <sky100> had same  issue with k3b
[16:29] <sky100> brb
[16:43] <GeeksOnHugs> I have an app full screen, with a modal dialog apparently hidden behind it, so it's not responsive...how do I cause the modal dialog box to present itself?
[16:44] <GeeksOnHugs> it should open up with modal dialog on top but for some reason it's not on top so I can't do anything with it
[16:44] <GeeksOnHugs> it's a very delicate application and I was doing set up so I don't want to exit it abnormally so nothing gets screwed up :( plz help
[16:45] <NoiseChancellor> GeeksOnHugs: Try pressing Ctrl+F9, that might allow you to find the window
[16:45] <GeeksOnHugs> kk ty i'll try that
[16:45] <GeeksOnHugs> crap...I have a weird keyboard...the F keys are on the number keys and I can't figure out how to press my F keys doh lol
[16:46] <GeeksOnHugs> I know I have to hold something down with the key but I cna't figure out what it is
[16:46] <GeeksOnHugs> wait, I can maybe use the onboard keyboard
[16:46] <GeeksOnHugs> on screen keyboard...
[16:47] <GeeksOnHugs> on screen keyboard doesn't have F keys :'(
[16:48] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: Is it a laptop?
[16:49] <GeeksOnHugs> no it's a retro commodore 64 itx case...I figured out how to get F keys with the on screen keyboard...one sec lemme try ctrl f9...
[16:50] <GeeksOnHugs> nope didn't work :(
[16:50] <GeeksOnHugs> got it :)  I hit escape several times
[16:50] <GeeksOnHugs> thanks for the suggestions :)
[16:50] <GeeksOnHugs> I'm very noob with linux, but learning
[16:51] <GeeksOnHugs> I got everything pretty cool, my only issue is video isn't super smooth, and full screen it's terrible...I have the I guess default NVIDIA drivers loaded, should I load the ones from nvidia.com?  I tried that actually but it has to be run without X server and I can't figure out how to shut it down
[16:51] <GeeksOnHugs> succesfully
[16:52] <GeeksOnHugs> I get it where it boots right back into X windows or it is just a black screen and not responsive at all
[16:52] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: The non-free drivers do seem to have better performance. But you can also use jockey.
[16:52] <GeeksOnHugs> also when it boots there is no option for like safe mode or anything which I've seen on dual boot installations
[16:53] <GeeksOnHugs> Oh, I can pay for good drivers?  I'm willing to pay for something that works
[16:53] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: To launch jockey go to the menu -> Applications -> System -> Additional Drivers
[16:53] <GeeksOnHugs> I think it uses jockey now, that sounds familiar
[16:53] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: With non-free I mean proprietary. Meaning they are closed source.
[16:53] <ed2578765> hi, anyone know any  nice looking player to play mp3 for kubuntu? also anyone knows how to exit x-server (I am trying to install nvida idrivers and its asking me that), thanks
[16:54] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: They are still free :)
[16:54] <GeeksOnHugs> oh lol
[16:54] <lordievader> ed2578765: Amarok isn't working for you?
[16:54] <GeeksOnHugs> so you mean, the ones from nvidia.com?
[16:55] <ed2578765> yeah, and I dont find amarok nice, or maybe need some custom skins?
[16:55] <lordievader> ed2578765: To kill X, type ctrl + alt + F1, this will get you to the tty. From here if you issue the command: "sudo service kdm stop" you will kill X.
[16:56] <lordievader> ed2578765: On kde-look.org you can get skins for all kinds of kde related software.
[16:56] <GeeksOnHugs> this is my case by the way, check it out http://commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64.aspx
[16:56] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: The driver that jockey recommends is probably the same as the one from nvidia's site.
[16:56] <GeeksOnHugs> i see...well it actually has two listed...can I post a screenshot here to show you?
[16:58] <lordievader> !paste | GeeksOnHugs
[16:58] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: That looks kinda nice, especially if you have owned the original .
[16:58] <ed2578765> allright, thanks, Ill check that site, and thanks for xserve thingy, cheers
[16:58] <GeeksOnHugs> cool thanks...yah, it was my first computer back in the day...OK, I want to show you this window, one sec
[17:01] <GeeksOnHugs> http://imagebin.org/215863
[17:01] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: Have you made the case yourself btw?
[17:02] <GeeksOnHugs> no, I bought the case from that company and I built the system from there
[17:02] <GeeksOnHugs> it's stupid expensive but I really wanted it for nostalgia
[17:03] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: It seems you are already running the proprietary driver, and you are using ubuntu. This is the kubuntu help channel. For ubuntu help you need to have the #ubuntu channel here on freenode.
[17:03] <GeeksOnHugs> I'm not handy enough but I bet it could be cuistom made with an original case
[17:03] <GeeksOnHugs> what's kubuntu for?
[17:03] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: Kubuntu is running KDE, where Ubuntu is using Unity/Gnome. Different window managers.
[17:07] <GeeksOnHugs> Oh OK, I see...lol sorry and thank you :)
[17:07] <GeeksOnHugs> here is my set up BTW http://imagebin.org/215864
[17:10] <lordievader> GeeksOnHugs: That is nice.
[17:21] <yupitsme> Hey anyone using Cox Comm and running a Roku box?
[17:24] <BluesKaj> yupitsme, that's a pretty specialized question ..doesn't roku use a proprietary linux OS ? ,...you might look into that
[17:30] <wilhart> heya where do i see my motherboard ?
[17:34] <BluesKaj> wilhart, what do tou mean , the hardware , sudo lshw ..it'll be the 2nd item listed
[17:34] <BluesKaj> you
[17:36] <lorddelta> hmm...any good wifi apps? I'm looking for something with extensive capabilities, more importantly the ability to tell me the positional data of wifi signals.
[17:37] <lorddelta> Like Xirrus Wifi monitor, I don't know if anyone ever used that, it lets you know where the wifi signals are physically coming from.
[17:38] <BluesKaj> lorddelta, wifi siganls , how are they id'd ?
[17:38] <wilhart> BluesKaj: i just wanna know the spec of the motherboards audio!?
[17:39] <wilhart> BluesKaj: if i should use it or my soundblaster x-fi
[17:39] <lorddelta> BluesKaj: ? I mean, if I'm sitting at x,y location, I see a radar graph telling me that 'a' router is theta degrees from my left, and approximately 2x as far away as 'b' router
[17:40] <BluesKaj> spec , or chip name ? , run aplay -l for the name , or open alsamixer
[17:40] <lorddelta> And 'b' router is theta_2 degrees from my right.
[17:40] <lorddelta> or theta+ 90 degrees from my left
[17:40] <lordievader> wilhart: Your soundblaster is probably better quality wise.
[17:40] <lorddelta> I've seen it done, e.g. the Xirrus wifi desktop app in win7...
[17:41] <BluesKaj> lorddelta, I think wicd might have such a map
[17:41] <lorddelta> BluesKaj: hmm thnx I'll look into it.
[17:43] <wilhart> lordievader: dunno this is 8 channel motherboard audio
[17:43] <wilhart> lordievader: my soundblaster started bugging it lplayed audio in doublespeed
[17:43] <BluesKaj> wilhart, what's the chip in alsamixer ?
[17:43] <wilhart> sec.
[17:44] <wilhart> BluesKaj:
[17:44] <lordievader> wilhart: Usually the audio chips on motherboards don't have very high quality DAC's.
[17:44] <wilhart> BluesKaj: Card: HDA Intel                                      │
[17:44] <wilhart> │ Chip: Realtek ALC888
[17:44] <wilhart> lordievader: yes i noticed
[17:44] <wilhart> lordievader: no treble here
[17:45] <wilhart> lordievader: any idea why the soundblaster plays in doublespeed
[17:46] <BluesKaj> wilhart, that's pretty common ...aamof  I have the same onboard , but switched to a pci soundcard due the crappy AD converter in it
[17:46] <wilhart> BluesKaj: should i buy a new soundblaster ?
[17:46] <wilhart> i think my broke
[17:46] <wilhart> or then it could be software failure
[17:47] <BluesKaj> wilhart,I can't tell you what to buy ..i can only relate my experience
[17:47] <wilhart> BluesKaj: what did you buy then ?
[17:48] <BluesKaj> wilhart, most likely a corrpt driver
[17:48] <wilhart> wonder what's wrong with that soundblaster
[17:48] <wilhart> BluesKaj: is there any drivers for it then??
[17:49] <BluesKaj> wilhart, I don't have a normal pc sound setup , I feed the spdif digital signal to a digital conveter on my audio amplifier

[18:19] <qw> and whether there is a Live CD for Linux?
[18:25] <bdizzle> hi, quick question. I just ordered a new webcam as the built-in webcam on my laptop is only 1.3 MP and insufficient for an interview I have coming in a few weeks
[18:26] <bdizzle> is there a way on linux to switch between the two webcams or to set it so that when the camera connected via USB is detected, it temporarily disables the built-in
[18:42] <lorddelta> bdizzle: wouldn't you set that in skype/whathaveyou?
[18:42] <lorddelta> Not an expert, but it doesn't seem like the OS's job.
[18:44] <lorddelta> *personally doesn't even own a webcam, thinks your interview is madness*
[19:03] <ybit> how do you move window tabs with the mouse
[19:09] <lordievader> ybit: What window tabs do you mean?
[19:10] <bkbaba> i was trying to install kubuntu but have installed the grub on the wrong partition, tried to reinstall the grub from live cd and reboot but now m getting the grub minimal interface, pls help
[19:11] <lordievader> bkbaba: Take a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[19:11] <ybit> lordievader: window tabs
[19:11] <ybit> grouping two windows...
[19:11] <ybit> those types of tabs
[19:12] <lordievader> ybit: Could you show me a screenshot?
 hi, m new to kubuntu, do u mean i should boot from live cd and then run this from the terminal?
[19:14] <ybit> nope
[19:15] <lordievader> bkbaba: The Graphical way is then probably easier for you. But yes this is done from the live cd.
[19:15] <bkbaba> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing I followed the instruction in this link and m now getting the minimal grub interface before that i was getting the recoery error
[19:15] <bkbaba> boot repair is not available on the live cd
[19:16] <jamil_1> Hi all
 does the change in the grub error mess mean i have installed the grub on the wrong partition?
[19:17] <jamil_1> wonder when will the  golden bulb in tray which produces nothing but a black screen be fixed ?
[19:17] <lordievader> bkbaba: Could be, are you in a live-cd now or in the actual install?
[19:18] <lordievader> jamil_1: Could you send a screenshot with the light bulb, it is probably muon telling you there are system updates available.
[19:18] <bkbaba> m chatting from another pc, on the wrongly installed pc i am on the live pc now
[19:19] <jamil_1> lordievader: sure
[19:19] <lordievader> bkbaba: I see, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair the second option can be done on a live cd to get boot repair. After that you can use it to repair Grub.
[19:22] <jamil_1> lordievader: here: http://i.imgur.com/Cj1Z5.jpg
[19:23] <lordievader> jamil_1: Strange little, actually not so little, thing. Have you tried updating the system?
[19:24] <jamil_1> lordievader: yep, update it whenever it asks me to
[19:24] <jamil_1> lordievader: updated yesterday
[19:24] <jamil_1> it started appearing after the upgrade though
[19:25] <lordievader> jamil_1: Could you run "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" for me, to see if there are any upgrades.
[19:25] <jamil_1> I am able to minimize it and even close it, but it is annoying
[19:25] <jamil_1> ok
[19:26] <lordievader> jamil_1: I can understand that, but to be honest I have never seen it before.
[19:26] <lordievader> The icon I mean.
[19:27] <jamil_1> lordievader: I waited that it would be fixed in the updates but I haven't seen a single update pertaining to this issue
[19:27] <jamil_1> I guess I am the only one with this issue
[19:28] <lordievader> jamil_1: There where no updates?
[19:28] <jamil_1> waiting .....
[19:29] <lordievader> jamil_1: I mean in sudo apt-get.
[19:30] <jamil_1> lordievader: I got this with apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1034349/
[19:31] <jamil_1> and for apt-get upgrade I get , 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[19:32] <lordievader> jamil_1: You have some key errors. But no updates. That means it is, probably, not muon.
[19:33] <lordievader> jamil_1: Could you run "ps aux|grep apport"
[19:33] <jamil_1> lordievader: shows nothing except grep itself
[19:34] <lordievader> And  "ps aux|grep apport-collect"
[19:35] <jamil_1> lordievader: nope, no such process
[19:35] <lordievader> jamil_1: What could it be then.... I wonder.
[19:36] <cancer> lordievader: hey
[19:36] <lordievader> jamil_1: Not sure if you know what processes are normally running on your system else you could look through the "ps aux" command manually trying to find it.
 thanks a ton man......... it worked, didn install the boot - repair, but i had mounted the wrong partition, thanks a ton....................
[19:36] <cancer> what 'ps' command is use for?
[19:36] <lordievader> lordievader: Or perhaps "ps -U <user-name>" is easier.
[19:37] <jamil_1> lordievader: `ps aux | grep update` show this: /usr/bin/python /usr/share/apt-xapian-index/update-apt-xapian-index-dbus
[19:37] <lordievader> Hey cancer, the "ps" command shows running processes.
[19:38] <lordievader> jamil_1: Do you have apt-get still running? Or any other package manager?
[19:38] <cancer> lordievader, how are you doing :), and can we use 'less' (page break) with it?
[19:38] <lordievader> bkbaba: No problem, not sure what I did, but I'm glad you fixed it :)
[19:38] <jamil_1> lordievader: nope
[19:39] <lordievader> jamil_1: Ok well than you could kill it, if it goes away you know that that process is responsible for the black window. (This might make your system instable though)
[19:40] <lordievader> cancer: You can pipe anything to less, fun thing about linux, anything can go anywhere.
[19:40] <jamil_1> lordievader: I just killed it, it wasn't the one:)
[19:40] <lordievader> jamil_1: :(
[19:41] <cancer> ps -U <username> less? <<<< like that.
[19:42] <cancer> 'pkill to kill any process?
[19:42] <cancer> 'pkill'?
[19:42] <lordievader> cancer: To pipe things you need |, for example running "ps aux| grep konsole" would pipe the output from the "ps aux" command to grep who looks for konsole.
[19:43] <lordievader> cancer: So your command would be: ps -U <username> | less
[19:43] <lordievader> cancer: It's "kill <pid>"
[19:44] <cancer> ok, tanks.
[19:44] <cancer> but i used 'pkill' last time to kill a process.
[19:44] <lordievader> cancer: In linux there are allways more ways to skin a cat: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/12/4-ways-to-kill-a-process-kill-killall-pkill-xkill/
[19:45] <lordievader> cancer: Both work, I just tend to use kill.
[19:46] <cancer> ok, kill without pill is simple.
[19:46] <jamil_1> lordievader: apparently it was launched by kdeinit
[19:47] <lordievader> jamil_1: So what is it anyway, or better, what is it supposed to be?
[19:47] <jamil_1> jamil     1811  0.1  2.3 1159348 92816 ?       Sl   Jun08   3:49 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]
[19:47] <jamil_1> don't know, ksysguard shows that its kdeinit
[19:47] <jamil_1> lordievader: I never signed up for that :)
[19:47] <jamil_1> and it is apparently daemon process
[19:48] <lordievader> jamil_1: Not sure about kdeinit, but usually a init process is made to launch other processes. Or at least I have gotten kernel panics in the past when something tried to kill init...
[19:49] <jamil_1> lordievader: yep killing init process is bad idea, most probably kdeinit is parent of this process
[19:50] <jamil_1> lordievader: I have can close this notification without any harm but its annoying
[19:50] <lordievader> jamil_1: Yes, probably. Still strange though that it just shows a black screen.
[19:51] <cancer> lordievader: how to check linux version?
[19:51] <lordievader> jamil_1: Maybe someone else know a solution or you could try the forums (kubuntuforums.net | ubuntuforums.org)
[19:51] <cancer> uname -a / ????
[19:51] <vincenzo> ciao
[19:51] <vincenzo> list!
[19:52] <lordievader> cancer: Do you mean what linux kernel you are running or the ubuntu version?
[19:52] <jamil_1> lordievader: ok, thanks for the help
[19:52] <lordievader> jamil_1: No problem, hope you'll solve it!
[19:53] <cancer> lordievader: no i mean if some de is installed. any DE version
[19:53] <cancer> uname -a will obiously bring kernel version.
[19:54] <lordievader> cancer: de? What do you mean?
[19:54] <Snowhog> cancer: Assuming you are using KDE, open a console and type: verison kde
[19:54] <lordievader> cancer: Do you mean the command: lsb_release -a?
[19:54] <cancer> yes
[19:54] <cancer> lsb.....
[19:55] <Snowhog> cancer: Dang. Never mind. Not what I was thinking of.
[19:59] <cancer> Snowhog: mind telling what actually was in you mind?
[20:00] <cancer> lordievader: and it works for all linux distro's as well?
[20:00] <lordievader> cancer: The lsb command? No idea never tried it anywhere else.
[20:01] <cancer> what is 'b_release'?
[20:02] <lordievader> cancer: I have no b_release command.
[20:03] <cancer> lordievader: no, you just showed me 'lsb_release -a'. that's what i'm asking about.
[20:06] <lordievader> cancer: Well it shows you ubuntu related info, like the Distribution id, the release, the codename, etc.
[20:06] <Snowhog> cancer: Are you asking what DE you are currently using, or what additional DE's you might also have installed?
[20:08] <cancer> Snowhog: i was asking about your thinkings, those brought that 'Dang' with big D. :-p
 cancer: Dang. Never mind. Not what I was thinking of.
[20:09] <lordievader> What do you two mean with DE?
[20:09] <Snowhog> DE = Desktop Environment
[20:10] <lordievader> Ahh hey thank you Snowhog
[20:11] <cancer> lordievader: What, how come you don't know about DE O_o
[20:12] <BluesKaj> cancer , stop trolling
[20:14] <cancer> BluesKaj: what's trolling about it.
[20:14] <lordievader> cancer: There are many things I do not know. There are also many things I want to know, and many things that I do not want to know. There are even things that I do not want to know and are not know to me.
[20:14] <cancer> i'm just trying to learn.
[20:15] <cancer> lordievader: is that also considered in 'trolling'? :-|
[20:15] <BluesKaj> cancer, you can't learn from asking why someone doesn't know something
[20:15] <cancer> sorry, just want to clear myself
[20:16] <cancer> BluesKaj: don't take it that way. thanks
[20:16] <BluesKaj> lordievader, trolling is asking inane questions
[20:16] <BluesKaj> !troll
[20:17] <BluesKaj> !trolling
[20:17] <BluesKaj> one more time
[20:17] <m4v> BluesKaj: factoid was removed afaik, too many people using it wrong.
[20:17] <BluesKaj> !info troll
[20:17] <BluesKaj> ok m4v
[20:17] <lordievader> BluesKaj: I do know what tolling is. Spend too much time on 9gag.
[20:18] <cancer> BluesKaj: i never came here with those intentions, that's what you judged.
[20:18] <BluesKaj> it's not a judgment ..it's a fact
[20:18] <cancer> lordievader: sorry, i was thinking to used word remember instead of 'know', but nothing left now for explanations.
[20:19] <lordievader> Anyhow this is getting offtopic, shall we return to kubuntu-help?
[20:19] <cancer> BluesKaj: factoids are removed. that's also a fact. that's not how to Treat someone.
[20:19] <cancer> lordievader: sure :-), Sorry again. i never meant that.
[20:20] <lordievader> cancer: I don't mind.
[20:21] <cancer> BluesKaj
[20:22] <cancer> BluesKaj: sorry
[20:24] <cancer> lordievader: may i ask about kubuntu offtopic channel name?
[20:24] <lordievader> cancer: #kubuntu-offtopic.
[20:25]  * cancer thanked lordievader
[20:26] <lordievader> cancer: No problem.
[20:45] <ScottyK> Is there a way for two users to share the same directory? I want to put some videos in a folder that the kids (from thier logon) can also access.
[20:48] <lordievader> ScottyK: Sure, have the two users in the same group and make the folder readable and writeable to the group.
[20:52] <ScottyK> lordievader - thanks, I'll give that a try!
[20:53] <lordievader> ScottyK: No problem and good luck!
