=== bill is now known as Guest63932 [02:42] how do i setup GRUB graphically in kubuntu 12.04? [02:47] !info kde-config-grub2 [02:47] kde-config-grub2 (source: kcm-grub2): Configuration module for the GRUB2 bootloader. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.0-0ubuntu3 (precise), package size 148 kB, installed size 580 kB [02:47] genii-around: dosnt Kubuntu use Grub not Grub2 though? [02:48] genii-around: does it still work for grub? [02:48] Nicekiwi: No. Grub2 since Lucid or Maverick [02:48] genii-around: oh, ok :) [02:48] genii-around: thanks [02:48] np [02:51] genii-around: that dosnt actually let me edit the grub list though :/ [02:54] Nicekiwi: I don't use it, don't know. I usually just CLI with nano, etc. For GUI editing, just use kdesudo kate or so [02:55] genii-around: there is the list? nano is my friend :0 [02:55] :) [02:55] No menu.lst in grub2 [02:55] There is /etc/default/grub [02:55] And then you do update-grub [02:55] genii-around: ahh kk thnkx [02:57] genii-around: :/ theres no list there.. how do i edit the list? [02:58] Nicekiwi: There is not any longer a list. Do you need to make some custom entry for a partition or OS that grub isn't seeing? [02:59] genii-around: yes and remove ones which no longer exist [02:59] Nicekiwi: When you remove an old kernel with muon or whatever way, grub automatically runs and removes it [03:00] genii-around: 0_o.. thats no an OS though.. [03:01] genii-around: nvm :P update-grub seems to have fixed it all ha ha [03:01] Nicekiwi: If you have to add some custom OS that grub doesn't lnow about yet, like maybe MeeGo or Android-x86 or whatever.. you make a custom entry in etc/grub.d/40_custom and do agin update-grub [03:01] genii-around: :) [04:06] #javyner [04:08] hello [04:23] ho [04:23] hi [04:24] hola === m4v is now known as k4v [04:39] hey [04:48] how can you manually change the fan speed on a netbook/laptop computer? [04:48] I'm looking to put it at 100%, since my computer won't cool down for some reason [04:50] how can you manually change the fan speed on a netbook/laptop computer? [04:50] I'm looking to put it at 100%, since my computer won't cool down for some reason [04:53] what do I need to do to install kde [04:53] on ubuntu minimal [04:54] Tiktalik: 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' should do the trick I believe [04:56] sa/join #shakesoda [04:56] derp [04:57] Linkmaster: Erm, I mean what do I need for a more minimal install with less bullshit [04:57] and how do I set it up [04:57] Tiktalik: theres a 'lowfat' kubutu settings out there [04:58] its in the repo's [04:58] Linkmaster: I mean how do I install kde without useless stuff to save space [04:59] Need help, my computer seems to be in a reboot loop. Using 11.10 [04:59] Tiktalik: storage hasn't been a problem for me, so I've never really thought of that.. [05:00] JuJuBee: try restarting :P [05:00] Linkmaster: It's not storage, it's internet speed [05:00] Tiktalik: useless suggestions are just that... [05:01] JuJuBee: yeah yeah... [05:01] I really do not want to re-install everything again. This same thing happened in April. [05:01] Tiktalik: you can always manually install...I'm not sure really [05:01] JuJuBee: maybe try ubuntu if it's not a kubuntu specific problem [05:02] JuJuBee: does this happen only with 11.10? [05:02] I am not sure if in April I was using 11.10 or 11.04 [05:02] Linkmaster: How do I start it once I get it installinated [05:02] I think 11.04 [05:03] Tiktalik: you'd select in the login screen, there should be a 'menu' option, and in it, you select the desktop you want [05:05] Linkmaster: I assume kde installs a login screen? [05:06] Tiktalik: I tried logging into Gnome and the same thing happened... [05:06] Tiktalik: I'm not entirely sure. I always install kubuntu directly, cross-desktop installs are not my strength [05:09] Linkmaster: I tried, but kubuntu installer didn't like me :( [05:09] so I just ended up with this minimal install [05:09] Tiktalik: hm..thats odd [05:09] i used the alternate cd [05:09] is storage space/system requirements not a problem? [05:10] Tiktalik: here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [05:14] Linkmaster: alrighty [05:32] Linkmaster: on booting 11.10, caplocks blinks 2 long blinks followed by 20+ short ones then reboots, but only after I try to login. It will sit at the login screen for long time with no problem, never re-booted there [05:33] complete rebooting, or just throwing you back to login? JuJuBee [05:33] Linkmaster: complete reboot [05:33] hmm... [05:34] you use kubuntu? [05:34] google suggets this is a kernel panic... [05:34] yes [05:34] first, make sure that /home is indeed yours [05:34] I can log into ctrl-alt-f1 fine and so stuff for a while [05:34] so, if you're the only user, chown /home you [05:34] oh, odd.. [05:35] Linkmaster: this seems related to GUI [05:36] indeed [05:36] try chown'ing /home to you anyhow, it might(?) help. I'm not sure where to look w/o an error message of sorts [05:37] Linkmaster: at the end of dmesg I see [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged... but where? === Hganavak is now known as Samanagh [05:44] How do you reset the notification manager where the notification messages are displayed on the taskbar instead of this [05:44] http://i.imgur.com/0VICV.jpg === mike is now known as Guest71502 [06:21] I just downloaded adn burned 12.04 and verified disc and md5.

[11:29] hi BluesKaj [11:30] i was trying to convert some video files using handbrake , to make playable in my mobile device u [11:31] in windows xp , i was using handbrake to convert the same & it was prfect .. but in kubuntu its just stuck [11:31] my mobile device says "unsupported file type [11:32] Am I missing any codecs which needs to be installed in linux for video conversions? [11:32] sky100, I don't much about handbrake . I used the terminal with ffmpeg to convert [11:32] !ffmpeg [11:33] hmm [11:33] !info ffmpeg [11:33] ffmpeg (source: libav): Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder (transitional package). In component main, is optional. Version 4:0.8.1-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 66 kB [11:33] Yes, ffmpeg rocks [11:33] can u help me to get ffmpeg , BluesKaj ? [11:33] weird that it would need the info prefix [11:33] hi genii-around [11:34] Hello sky100 [11:34] hi [11:35] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ? BluesKaj ? [11:35] yes , but I thin you already ahve it [11:35] have [11:36] ok [11:36] There is also an OK gui frontend , winff [11:40] loading libav-dvg from apper , BluesKaj [11:43] could it be a reason that missing codecs interrupted in burning DVD-R in k3b which I tried sevaral times , BluesKaj ? [11:47] i have ffmpeg .. now how to use it to convert videos , BluesKaj [11:56] sky100, http://www.wikihow.com/Use-FFmpeg [11:57] ok [11:58] in the fiels input file option , i need to mention the full file which i want to convert .. ? Blukaj? [11:58] field* [12:17] Does anyone know how to get recorditnow to work? [12:17] Cannot load Recorder . [12:17] That's what it says. [12:18] I don't get how people come up with such bad error messages, though. [12:18] What is it even supposed to mean? [12:18] The purpose of the program is to record. [12:18] So, if it then says 'cannot load recorder', it's like it cannot load the code to record it. [12:19] But if that's even a failure more, just statically compile it, I don't care. [12:19] mode* [12:21] fasta: did you try to open it from the terminal? [12:22] SebastianG: yes [12:22] fasta: okay, its a bad message, i agree ;) [12:23] I don't quite get why Ubuntu ships broken stuff. [12:23] I mean: I have all the dependencies installed. [12:23] Why can't they automate a recording to see that the basics work before release? [12:23] I don't think they package broken stuff. [12:24] SebastianG: so, then what's wrong? [12:24] I think it worked for the testers, probably its just a driver issue or something? [12:24] SebastianG: just a driver issue? [12:24] SebastianG: everything on my system works. [12:24] SebastianG: I can record with other software. [12:24] SebastianG: no, it's just EPIC FAILURE. [12:25] I am not sure how you can possibly say it's 'just a driver issue'. [12:25] SebastianG: anyway, is there anything you can say that can be of use? [12:26] SebastianG: or did you just want to say 'it's just a driver issue' to look interesting? [12:26] fasta: Please do not get abusive to the helpers [12:26] fasta: annoyed, huh? [12:26] SebastianG: of the last 10 people I talked to on IRC about various topics, 9 were morons. [12:27] fasta: Does it say anything more in the terminal than just the "Cannot load Recorder" when you try to run it from there? [12:27] SebastianG: I am a bit disappointed in humanity, yes. [12:27] genii-around: only some 'application may misbehave'-message. [12:27] fasta: Sounds like Julian Assange ;) [12:28] SebastianG: Julian Assange would be welcome to talk to me. [12:28] I don't know for how long, though. [12:28] cant really follow the commands .. Bluekaj .. to use ffmpeg ... [12:28] :( [12:28] I think I will just dig up the source and see whether there is an easy fix. [12:29] sky100: You may find the examples here good to look at: http://rodrigopolo.com/ffmpeg/cheats.html [12:29] fasta: If you can pastebin the exact terminal output, it may be helpful [12:29] ty genii-around [12:29] fasta: let me now if its a driver issue :P [12:30] sky100: You're welcome. [12:30] genii-around: http://paste.kde.org/501872/ [12:30] genii-around: I already said it was worthless. [12:30] genii-around: lots of applications come with those messages. [12:31] fasta: Yes, it's pretty unenlightening for sure. [12:31] genii-around: so, I would also be interested in getting rid of those messages. [12:32] i simply want to convert a downloaded you tube file to an .mp4 file to make it playable in my mobile device.... genii-around [12:33] sky100: Is your mobile device an ipod? [12:34] no [12:34] its SAMSUNG WAVE [12:34] don't mobile devices play flash/flv [12:34] hopefully this will not not [12:34] not* [12:35] work, afk [12:35] will play .mp4, 3gp etc [12:35] ok , genii-around [12:37] saludos a todos [12:37] !es [12:37] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

Did you hit the record button and then the window disapeared? [12:40] genii-around: no, just hit the record button.

BluesKaj [12:41] ty so much [12:41] fasta: Did you check the default spot it puts the videos? /home/your-username/Videos [12:42] genii-around: you didn't listen to all the information I provided. [12:42] genii-around: please do that first before responding or don't respond at all. [12:43] fasta, your attitude leaves a lot to be desired. Do you reaally think ppl are going to help you with that tone . [12:44] BluesKaj: I think other people also want high-quality support. [12:44] BluesKaj: I am just the anti-spam bot.

[12:45] fasta: I don't have a large buffer, [12:45] ikonia, yeah , you tell him then [12:45] ikonia: the only reason you are here is to kick me out. [12:45] only confusion was where to put the file name of the video i want to convert to .mp4 ... BluesKaj [12:45] fasta: He arrived after you described your issue. [12:45] my mobile supports upto 320x240 resolution [12:46] not higher than that [12:46] sky100, you have to specify the path , otherwise it will be place in /home/yourusername [12:48] im giving u an example ..

[12:52] sky100, no , I'm also busy with other things ..suggest you do some research and find example commands to convert [12:52] ok , np [12:52] sky100, besides , I know nothing about mobile devices .. [12:54] its ok .. its not catually for mobile devices only..... i wanted to know about the video conversions using ffmpeg as u said .. [12:56] genii-around, also suggested winff, which has a gui to help you convert , that's also worth looking into [12:56] sky100,^ [13:11] BluesKaj, : i just downloaded file from you tube namely " The Bodyguard Ending.mp4" ..res=480x360 , how to convert it to an 320x240 resolution ?

[14:33] ranjan, can you get to a tty prompt , ctl+alt+f1 or f2 [14:34] BluesKaj, no, when i switch to tty the same problem is there [14:34] BluesKaj, i think some screen resolution issue [14:34] perhaps no modeset [14:34] ranjan, somewhere kubuntu is setting to a higher screenresolution than what the monitor can accept [14:35] BluesKaj, but i cant access the grub prompt even to pass no modeset [14:35] yeah [14:38] ranjan, have you tried holding the left shift key down right after the bios scrn during boot [14:38] BluesKaj, no, what will happen if i do that? [14:39] grub should appear [14:40] then you can set your resolution by editing with the e key [14:40] ranjan, http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation [14:40] All of my audio devices are greyed out under Multimedia.

[14:43] BluesKaj: yes, like I said, I didn't change anything. [14:43] updated/upgraded? [14:44] BluesKaj: I also don't understand the GUI in that it is greyed out. [14:44] BluesKaj: what does that mean? [14:44] BluesKaj: no [14:45] BluesKaj: alsamixer shows the correct devices. [14:45] rly, then do so and make sure you install kubuntu-restricted-extras [14:45] BluesKaj: I have an up to date system. [14:46] BluesKaj: I just didn't just upgrade. [14:46] then it's not up to date [14:46] upating only updates the repos packages , it doesn't upgrade your system [14:48] help needed! [14:49] !ask | Frogec [14:49] Frogec: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:50] i have a few problems with display since i`ve been upgraded 11.10 to 12.04 LTS [14:51] i don`t see all on my display [14:51] anybody with the same problem? [14:52] BluesKaj: of course I applied the updates. [14:52] BluesKaj: this is English, not apt-get. [14:53] BluesKaj: also, you also imply that in all previous versions of KDE it is perfectly normal for sound devices to become non-functional. [14:55] oh do I ?..didn't mean to mislead you , but it depends on your hardware and what drivers are installed etc ..a lot of setups work the first time after an install [14:56] BluesKaj: I told you that it has been working before. [14:57] BluesKaj: In fact, I would expect that reboot would 'fix' the problem. [14:59] rly ok, i have to ask, if you're offended by my qestions that's too bad , but have to know what'd been done and what hasn't [15:05] BluesKaj: nothing has been done. [15:05] BluesKaj: one moment it works, the other one it doesn't. [15:06] I will just reboot, but I cannot continue to keep doing that. [15:06] I don't understand why the GUI cannot just display in clear language what it thinks the state of the world is. [15:08] kmix ? [15:08] BluesKaj: I enabled speech-dispatcher, but that was at boot. [15:08] BluesKaj: after that I had still heard some sound. [15:09] BluesKaj: kmix only shows the dummy device. [15:09] rly, what does aplay -l show [15:09] BluesKaj: correct output. [15:10] BluesKaj: i.e. the device I want it to use, is listed first. [15:11] How can KDE take a working system (alsa) and then turn it into something which doesn't work? [15:11] does this match card 0 ? , cat /proc/asound/modules [15:11] Yes [15:12] pastebin the output please [15:17] heh, guess he thiks he knows , but just wants to complain...getting our share of ppl with "attitude" [15:19] i would like to complain to somebody who wants to listen [15:19] just can fix this problem with 12.04 LTS [15:21] what graphics Frogec , and describe your resolution ? [15:22] BluesKaj: he's well known [15:22] ikonia, the r-l-y? [15:22] yes [15:22] very [15:22] ok [15:23] BluesKaj: your assement is correct [15:23] hi i have a problem with install, why is it a system reboot after every insall i make it seems? did install chromium and the system said a system reboot is needed to complete the update process? [15:25] it has done that 2-3 times now... [15:27] wolf_raven, not sure but chromium brings along a lot of other files which may need a reboot for prper installatiom . What other app installs require a reboot ? [15:28] apturl also... [15:30] i was trying chromium because http://www.playdeb.net/welcome/ doesnt work with Kubuntu and Firefox but chromium should work with playdeb [15:33] resolution 1280x960 (4:3) [15:36] Frogec, is that what are you trying for or that's what you have now ?

[16:04] gkiagia, ppa ftp ? normally on adds the ppa to the sources.list with add-apt-repository ppa:nameofppa [16:09] BluesKaj: no, I'm trying to upload packages to my ppa, but the ftp service doesn't respond [16:10] it makes a tcp connection and then hangs forever [16:10] * gkiagia is not sure where is the best place to ask about this [16:10] gkiagia: #launchpad [16:10] thanks [16:32] hey guys [16:32] is somebodz from germany here ?

[16:37] wooooot [16:37] i got kde [17:08] BluesKaj: I fixed the problem; it had nothing to do with KDE, but it is a huge mistake and bug which has been open for about 4 years (!) or so. [17:09] Some "developer" "fixed" the package in question. It's really retarded. [17:10] Ubuntu would be better off without such "developers". === michael is now known as Guest70133 [17:47] what do i do to install back muon?
