[00:01] <Yankees52> ban me
[00:01] <Yankees52> please =)
[00:43] <L3top> Use the N word and prattle on about unity like in #ubuntu and I am sure your request will be fulfilled.
[01:22] <JMichaelX> so, since upgrading to 12.04, i have a machine in which i can enable audio out, and audio in.... but not both at the same time. has anyone else seen this?
[01:28] <phoenix_firebrd> muon is missing after update to kde 4.9 beta 2, is it replace by something else?
[03:13] <charthy> I have .torrent files setup to open in Transmission via the System Settings, but Chromium is opening it in Ktorrent. Why is chromium not following the system settings for application launches?
[03:30] <charthy> After looking into it more, it has to do magnet links, which are a protocol... so new question:
[03:30] <charthy> How do I configure the applications used for protocols?
[03:31] <hanasaki> what hardware mobo/chips/monitor/hdmi?displayport will run at over 1080p?
[03:34] <hellslinger> basically anything above a Geforce 6 or ATI HD 2xxx series will do
[03:42] <hanasaki> hellslinger:  what output ? hdmi ? that only goes ot 1080
[03:43] <hellslinger> all will go to 1080
[03:51] <charthy> So far, all I have found is program called xdg-open... but I searched in the directories containing its configuration files, and I couldn't find magnet in any of them...
[03:52] <charthy> at the same time, xdg-open 'magnet:/' opens in ktorrent... how can I configure it to open in transmission?
[03:52] <hanasaki> hellslinger:  right.  I am looking for over 180p
[03:52] <hanasaki> 1080p
[03:52] <hellslinger> I've had even VGA and DVI go over 1080... sounds like another problem
[03:52] <hellslinger> 1920x1200 and such
[04:27] <serroba> hello everyone
[04:28] <serroba> i'm here because i have a problem in my machine and I would like to have some ideas
[04:28] <serroba> I'm using kubuntu 12.04
[04:28] <serroba> for some reasons that I don't know my machine is freezing sudenly
[04:28] <artao> how do i make kubuntu remember window positions plz?? i can't find it anywhere in the settings
[04:28] <serroba> I have no idea why
[04:29] <serroba> but absolutely freezing
[04:29] <serroba> I mean, no ssh, no even ping
[04:29] <serroba> the xserver no respond, no mouse, no keyboard
[04:29] <serroba> for the same reason I have no idea what is the problem
[04:30] <serroba> someone  knows how can I know why is happening that?
[04:34] <TheAncientGoat> serroba: what does your logs say?
[04:34] <serroba> what logs???
[04:35] <serroba> I have to shut down the machine all the time, so I don't have access to dmesg when is happening
[04:36] <TheAncientGoat> When does it freeze? After boot?
[04:36] <serroba> mmmm, it is happening at random time
[04:37] <serroba> i can use the system for a while
[04:37] <serroba> some days pretty normal
[04:37] <serroba> others a lot of fails
[04:37] <serroba> today I have had about 3 freeze
[04:37] <TheAncientGoat> You can try accessing  /var/log from a livecd if you cannot check them out from inside this install
[04:37] <TheAncientGoat> When does it freeze normally?
[04:37] <TheAncientGoat> While browsing the web?
[04:38] <serroba> some times when I'm browsing
[04:38] <TheAncientGoat> I can remember having a freezing issue as well, with flash
[04:38] <serroba> some times when I expose the desktop
[04:38] <TheAncientGoat> It was the hardware accelleration thing that kept on kpanicing me
[04:38] <serroba> i have no flash
[04:38] <serroba> I'm pretty sure is not flash
[04:39] <TheAncientGoat> What video card/driver do you use?
[04:39] <TheAncientGoat> And do you use kde with compositing?
[04:39] <serroba> everything intel:
[04:39] <TheAncientGoat> hmm
[04:39] <serroba> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[04:39] <serroba> 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Panther Point USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04)
[04:40] <serroba> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Panther Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
[04:40] <serroba> yes
[04:40] <TheAncientGoat> What does your kernel logs say though? If you get to the desktop, you'll definitely have some logs to look through
[04:40] <serroba> but actually runs pretty good, when is running....
[04:41] <serroba> yes now I can see the logs
[04:41] <TheAncientGoat> Darn, gotta go
[04:41] <serroba> what log in particular??
[04:41] <serroba> .... ok, thanks anyway
[04:43] <TheLordOfTime> i installed kde-standard alongside Ubuntu.  how do i uninstall kde and the programs it installed?
[04:43] <TheLordOfTime> (and only *just* kde)
[04:56] <Guest67949> hi
[04:56] <Guest67949> how are you
[06:41] <surfn> hi
[06:41] <surfn> what is the name of the function that happens when you press windowskey+space ?
[06:42] <Tm_T> ...what happens then? nothing happens here
[06:43] <surfn>  ? click on the desktop, then do it
[06:44] <Tm_T> surfn: nothing that just pressing a space wouldn't do
[06:44] <Tm_T> if you can describe what happens to you I might be able to name it
[06:44] <surfn> Tm_T: sweet
[06:45] <surfn> Tm_T: no that's right, space only does it
[06:45] <Tm_T> so you mean krunner?
[06:45] <surfn> krunner, sweet
[06:45] <Tm_T> alt+f2 is its global shortcut
[06:45] <surfn> I'd like to make it universal, so that whenever I press windows+space, that always comes up (or is there another universal binder to bring that up)?
[06:46] <surfn> how/ where can I change that?
[06:46] <surfn> thanks btw Tm_T, I'm new to Kubuntu
[06:49] <Tm_T> surfn: looks like I answered to your question before you asked (:
[06:50] <surfn> sweet
[06:50] <surfn> now if only I could remember the names of all the kubuntu progs I've never used before ;)
[06:50] <surfn> thanks for your help
[06:51] <Tm_T> surfn: it should suffice if you write the task you want to do
[06:51] <Tm_T> so, "write" should bring a list of apps for writing
[06:51] <surfn> hey, while I'm here... is there an OS/X style launcher that's recommended for use
[06:51] <surfn> Tm_T: cool tip, cheers
[06:52] <surfn> soz, recommended for use with Kubuntu?
[06:52] <Tm_T> surfn: there's icon-only taskbar
[06:52] <Tm_T> which I think does the job you're looking for
[06:53] <surfn> yeah, but I'd like it to have shortcuts too... and grow like the OS/X launcher...
[06:53] <Tm_T> surfn: does that
[06:54] <surfn> k am trying it
[06:55] <surfn> grow?
[06:55] <Tm_T> atleast I think it should have an option "show launcher when not running"
[06:55] <Tm_T> well, they should take their room
[06:58] <surfn> Tm_T: it's kinda like what I want.  Only not a gooey
[06:58] <surfn> not as...
[08:03] <surfn> what is the KDE equivalent of cheese?
[08:05] <Smurphy> cheese ? with french Baguette, Butter and a good red wine ?
[08:05] <Tm_T> surfn: what you're trying to do?
[08:05] <Smurphy> Getting cheese ?
[08:05] <Smurphy> :}
[08:06] <surfn> webcam self portrait
[08:06] <surfn> called photobooth in MacOS
[08:06] <surfn> called cheese in gnome
[08:06] <surfn> ;D
[08:09] <Tm_T> surfn: hmh, don't know about such apps myself, sorry
[08:15] <jussi> surfn: I think you are looking for kamerka
[08:15] <jussi> !info kamerka
[08:19] <Riddell> surfn: kamoso
[08:24] <surfn> thanks jussi and Riddell
[08:26] <Smurphy> ah - ok. I now know what cheese is. Still prefere the french option though.
[08:32] <surfn> is there a twitter plasmoid?
[08:32] <surfn> read: is there a twitter widget for plasma?
[08:32] <Tm_T> hmm, I think there was if not is
[08:33] <Tm_T> there's webview widget
[08:33] <surfn> i cant seem to find it
[08:33] <Tm_T> surfn: "microblogging"
[08:34] <surfn> ah
[08:34] <surfn> thanks Tm_T
[08:46] <Kvaks> Question: If I set up a sftp:// user mount on a client, all works well except that symlinks on the server are transfered as symlinks, not the content (target of symlink on server). Anyone know if this is possible to change?
[08:47] <Kvaks> (I want only to share a "shared" folder in which I throw symlinks to the actual content on the server I want shared.)
[09:07] <alucardromero> Anybody know Quassel really well?  I chose "Opt In" on the Chat Monitor settings, and now it's not monitoring anythign.
[09:11] <jussi> alucardromero: you didnt op in to anything ?
[09:11] <alucardromero> Yeah, all the networks that I have in the network list appear by default.
[09:12] <jussi> alucardromero: you need to add things across to the "show" box
[09:12] <alucardromero> Yep, I JUST did that as you told me... it works.  But I didn't have to do it by default.  That's weird.
[09:15] <alucardromero> Thank you.
[09:19] <surfn> hey, I have the button on my window decoration to go into shade mode... but I really like it when I can do that with the scroll on my mouse... is there any way to set that?
[09:20] <surfn> got it already, sweet!
[09:20] <surfn> not easy to find, mind you, but foudn it
[10:35] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[10:35] <Smurphy> jo
[10:40] <mydogsnameisrudy> happy monday
[10:41] <Smurphy> mydogsnameisrudy: blody monday rather ...
[10:41] <Smurphy> or - hard-monday ()After WeekEnd partying)
[10:49] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !!
[11:21] <neosb> hi I have a problem with lan, just before turnig off one of my computers everything was fine, but now after logging into fresh kubuntu the same configuration doesn't work - ping tells me that computers are reachable in the network but none of services really works, I use remote desktop and samba, from #ubuntu-pl they told to chec telnet, but it doesn't work too. Could you give me any solution to that kind of issue?
[11:29] <Smurphy> neosb: check: ~# ifconfig
[11:29] <Smurphy> what it returns. If it has an IP - make also a: ~# route -n
[11:29] <Smurphy> to see if there is a default route.
[11:29] <Smurphy> If that one works - check if the resolver configuration has a Nameserver configured in /etc/resolv.conf
[11:38] <neosb> Smurphy: everything is in place - nameserver is 127.0.0.1
[11:39] <BluesKaj> neosb, which kubuntu version?
[11:41] <neosb> 12.04 - I'm gonna restart 'cos  I did an update - if it won't help I'll be back in time.
[11:44] <StFS> Hello. I'm having horrible problems with kwallet in Kubuntu 12.04. It's messing up my wireless network access and subversion has stopped working because it's all borked up somehow. Anybody familiar with this problem?
[12:03] <BluesKaj> StFS, if you want to disable kwalletmanager , open krunner type kwalletmanger>settings>configure kwallet, uncheck "enable kde wallet subsystem"
[13:25] <invasorzim0101> scanner problem, segfault and cant connect to hp scanner i/o
[14:27] <ubu_> hallo
[14:27] <Kvaks> hallo
[14:28] <ubu_> bekomme meinen scanner zum laufen
[14:28] <ubu_> hab system neu aufgesetzt weil ich zudem mit dem graka treiber probleme hatte
[14:28] <ubu_> kennt sich jemand mit brother geräten aus?
[14:29] <ubu_> step bei spep anleitung wär cool
[14:29] <ubu_> Kvaks: ?
[14:29] <Kvaks> keine deutch
[14:29] <ubu_> ok
[14:35] <Smurphy> ubu_: Naja - geht schon ... Aber - einfach nen Drucker suchen und konfigurieren.
[14:36] <Smurphy> In "System Settings" -> "Printer Configuration"
[14:37] <ubu_> Smurphy: drucken geht, allerdings scanner erkennt er über gimp nicht ;(
[14:39] <Smurphy> hast du das sane backen installiert ???
[14:39] <Smurphy> ubu_: Mach mal: scanimage -L
[14:39] <Smurphy> Da sollte er dir deinen Scanner anzeigen.
[14:39] <ubu_> im terminal?
[14:40] <Smurphy> ja - im Terminal
[14:40] <ubu_> No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
[14:40] <ubu_> check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
[14:40] <ubu_> sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
[14:40] <ubu_> which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[14:40] <FloodBotK1> ubu_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:41] <ubu_> mist das wahr zuviel...
[14:41] <Smurphy> Ist der Drucker/Scanner ueber USB angeschlossen ?
[14:41] <ubu_> LAN
[14:41] <Smurphy> und an ?
[14:41] <ubu_> jop
[14:41] <Smurphy> LAn wird nicht klappen. Um den Scanner zu nutzen, musst du da leider USB anschliessen.
[14:42] <Smurphy> Ich habs noch nicht geschafft einen Scanner vernuenftig ueber LAN anzusprechen.
[14:42] <ubu_> dafür steht das teil extrem weit weg
[14:42] <Smurphy> Hmmm. schlecht. Ueber LAN habe ich das noch nie ausprobiert. Sorry.
[14:42] <ubu_> hmpf
[14:43] <ubu_> könnten wir das mal schritt für schritt durch gehen?
[14:43] <ubu_> erstmal welches sane muss ich installieren?
[14:43] <ubu_> über software center?
[14:44] <Smurphy> Eigentlich ist da kein Schritt fuer Schritt.
[14:44] <Smurphy> Ist schon drinnen.
[14:44] <Smurphy> wenn scanimage installiert ist - hast schonmal alles was benoetigt ist.
[14:44] <Smurphy> Wenn dann der Scanner per USB Drann ist  erkennt den auch jede Software auf dem System (zumindst bei mir mit einem epson).
[14:45] <ubu_> ok
[14:45] <ubu_> also xsane scnaprogramm?
[14:46] <ubu_> keine geräte erreichbar
[14:47] <ubu_> mit scanimage -L, auch negativ
[14:47] <ubu_> muss ich über die weboberfläche vllt noch was einstellen?
[14:50] <ubu_> Smurphy: noch da?
[14:52] <Smurphy> Sorry - hab nen Conf-Call grad mit der Firma ;)
[14:52] <Smurphy> ja - weil nur ueber USB ...
[14:53] <ubu_> np ;)
[15:35] <Pingator> hi
[15:36] <Pingator> I am having problems with firefox tooltips. They disappear faster than I can read them.
[15:37] <Pingator> I think its caused by the cursor hiding when not moved. The Strange thing is, it doesnt happen on my other computer with kubuntu freshinstall
[15:48] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: you mean the toolptip shown in the bottom left of the firefox window?
[16:15] <Pingator> phoenix_firebrd: no i mean every tooltip like the alternative texts for links and images
[16:17] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: what is your firefox version?
[16:19] <Pingator> phoenix_firebrd: 13.0 on the freshinstall and waiit
[16:20] <Pingator> phoenix_firebrd: 13.0 on the freshinstall and the same on the other one
[16:21] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: if you dont mind purging and reinstalling firefox, can you do it?
[16:22] <Pingator> i will do that but keep the profile
[16:22] <Pingator> but
[16:22] <Pingator> i think its not caused by firefox
[16:23] <Pingator> on the other machine the cursur disappears after a second when not moved, independent of firefox, on this one it doesnt
[16:25] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: as far as i know, firefox is a gtk application, anything regarding it should be in dconf
[16:26] <Pingator> okay firefox is purged and reinstalled with a new profile but its still happening
[16:27] <Pingator> where is dconf?
[16:28] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: in the home dir, inside the .cache folder. close firefox  rename it to something else and start firefox and check again
[16:29] <Pingator> that file is empty
[16:31] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: what about inside .config?
[16:31] <Pingator> no such file in there
[16:32] <Pingator> just a empty config with sample comments in .config/oxygen-gtk
[16:33] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: are you using oxyen-gtk for the gtk applications theme?
[16:34] <Pingator> yes
[16:34] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: goto system settings
[16:34] <Pingator> done
[16:34] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: application appearence
[16:34] <Pingator> also (thats where i just checked
[16:35] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: gtk +appearance
[16:35] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: change the widget style to clear looks and restart firefox
[16:35] <Pingator> k
[16:36] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: dont forget to press the apply button after this change
[16:38] <Pingator> still happens
[16:40] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: wait
[16:59] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: does this happen with any other browser?
[18:05] <Pingator> phoenix_firebrd: not with rekonq
[18:05] <Pingator> will install chromium for test
[18:06] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: that will be good
[18:11] <Pingator> chromium has something that looks like a workaround. when the cursor disappears, the tooltip also like in firefox but half a second later it gets redisplayed  if the cursor doesnt appear somewhere
[18:18] <snevittken> ..."%)§§$§... is it even possible to have the Nepomuk file indexer active without virtuoso-t grabbing up to 80% CPU time (I'm sure it'd take it all if it could)
[18:27] <sylkey> Hola FloodBotK1
[18:36] <BarkingFish> evening guys, I have a problem with kmail in my setup. It's just crashed, and I've used the Crash Report Assistant to get a backtrace, but some of the debug symbols are missing.  When I try to install them, the assistant is telling me it can't find debug symbols for "this application" (it's not actually telling me which one I'm looking for.)
[18:36] <BarkingFish> any ideas on what I can do?
[18:39] <Pingator> phoenix_firebrd: um I found a difference: the machine with disapp. tooltips had unclutter installed, the fresh one not. but still no luck, its uninstalled and FF restarted but still behaves like that
[18:40] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: what is the kde versions in both the systems
[18:42] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: did you restart your system after uninstalling unclutter?>
[18:48] <lordievader> Good evening
[19:45] <jors> Hey everyone.  Recently got a barely used notebook for free from a family member.  Specs are Intel T7200 Core 2 Dual-core 2GHz, 2Gb RAM, 60Gb HDD, Intel GMA graphics (crap!) etc etc.  Dunno what to do with it.  Has Xp on it the mo.  Any recommendations for a distro for this machine?  Have no real use for it, was thinking of giving it to a friend as a gift or whatever.... Which distro will fit it whilst being easy to use for someone coming from a windows
[19:45] <jors> background?
[19:45] <Pingator> phoenix_firebrd: restart made it, thx
[19:45] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: yw
[19:47] <lordievader> jors: Something simple like (K)ubuntu, or linux Mint. Also check this out: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/
[20:12] <jors> @lordievader, thanks for the link.
[22:52] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[23:08] <Pingator> Hi, I just wiped an usbstick with random data directly to the device file. This somehow made it read only. fdisk refuses to write a partition table. Where is this flag and how can I change it?
[23:12] <SamuraiGhost> Pingator: Did you try parted?
[23:13] <SamuraiGhost> Pingator: how do you know it's read only?
[23:13] <Pingator> SamuraiGhost: parted and disk utilty say its read only
[23:14] <Pingator> fdisk says the device descriptor is missing, wants to write a new one and when instructed to write, it fails
[23:14] <SamuraiGhost> so writes to the device with dd now fail?
[23:14] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: the system may mount it ready-only when the filesystem is damaged
[23:14] <SamuraiGhost> but he should be using the device file, not a filesystem
[23:15] <SamuraiGhost> it's not mounted right?
[23:15] <Pingator> yep not mounted
[23:15] <SamuraiGhost> so it has nothing to do with a filesystem
[23:15] <Pingator> its /yes
[23:15] <SamuraiGhost> do dd writes to the device fail?
[23:15] <phoenix_firebrd> in that case check for root privilege
[23:16] <SamuraiGhost> yeah, are you using sudo?
[23:16] <Pingator> um yes its just /dev/sde and when trying again with dd it writes 135 mb and then stops
[23:16] <Pingator> yes sudo -i session
[23:16] <SamuraiGhost> I've seen some failing flash drives behave similar
[23:17] <SamuraiGhost> try writing zeros to it and try again
[23:17] <Pingator> where can I get zeros?
[23:17] <Pingator> in case of dd
[23:17] <phoenix_firebrd> Pingator: goto India :)
[23:17] <SamuraiGhost> Pingator:  /dev/zero
[23:18] <Pingator> lol
[23:18] <Pingator> nice 2gb written
[23:18] <SamuraiGhost> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/dev bs=4k
[23:18] <SamuraiGhost> the bs=4k usually makes it go faster
[23:18] <Pingator> fdisk writes again thx SamuraiGhost
[23:18] <SamuraiGhost> cool :)
[23:19] <SamuraiGhost> I'd run badblocks on it if I were you
[23:19] <SamuraiGhost> sounds like something isn't right with the flash drive
[23:21] <Pingator> badblocks -v tells everything ok
[23:23] <Pingator> is there a tool for device information like hdparm for usbsticks?
[23:24] <SamuraiGhost|2> this will write random data, then go back and read it from the device and verify it: sudo badblocks -w -t random -v -s /path/to/device
[23:25] <SamuraiGhost> it's distructive btw
[23:25] <SamuraiGhost> so be careful
[23:26] <Pingator> there is nothing important on it. It finished in 1 second without errors
[23:27] <SamuraiGhost> that command finished in one second? O_o
[23:27] <SamuraiGhost> 2GB?
[23:27] <SamuraiGhost> it should not be that fast
[23:27] <Pingator> dd zero to device also in about 1 second
[23:27] <SamuraiGhost> 2TB?
[23:27] <SamuraiGhost> err GB?
[23:27] <Pingator> yes
[23:27] <SamuraiGhost> yeah, something isnt right
[23:28] <SamuraiGhost> it's probably a much lower capacity than it should be
[23:28] <SamuraiGhost> also a sign of bad flash drives
[23:30] <Pingator> when i got it i did a read benchmark on it where the speed was really inconsistent, for some parts about 20 mb/s and for some about 9mb/s but nothing that looks like its caused by a cache
[23:30] <Pingator> write was similar but i dont remember the numbers
[23:31] <SamuraiGhost> well think how long 20MB/s would take to cover all 2GB.
[23:31] <SamuraiGhost> it should take way longer than a second lol
[23:32] <Pingator> maybe the zero overwrite tweaked it to over 9000
[23:33] <SamuraiGhost> It would be nice if USB flash drives had something like smart
[23:33] <SamuraiGhost> as far as I know there isn't a way to find out what's going on internally
[23:34] <Pingator> the filesystem works when created and mounted but then i replugged the stick and its read only with garbage on it again. looks like the entire device was cached in ram
[23:34] <Pingator> meh
[23:35] <L3top> Did you unmount it cleanly?
[23:35] <L3top> or just yank it out?
[23:35] <Pingator> umount then replugged
[23:38] <Pingator> i just found a thread about an ro/rw switch under the cover of some cheap sticks but how could i have triggered it
[23:41] <Pingator> bad thing is that this cover is a single piece of rubber
[23:42] <SamuraiGhost> Pingator: I think it's broken.  I've had 2 or 3 usb flash drives fail with exactly the same problems you described.
[23:42] <SamuraiGhost> try it on some other machines and see if there is anything different
[23:42] <Pingator> has one of them had the device id for Transcend JetFlash?
[23:43] <SamuraiGhost> I don't remember, it's been a while since I had any fail
[23:43] <SamuraiGhost> and I didn't care too much since they were small capacity
[23:44] <Pingator> this one was 4gb
[23:44] <SamuraiGhost> :x
[23:44] <SamuraiGhost> any warranty?
[23:45] <Pingator> no i got it for free, so no big loss but its annoying that it fails when i want to use it
[23:46] <SamuraiGhost> That's why I run badblocks on new drives
[23:46] <SamuraiGhost> so it fails before I use it :)
[23:46] <Pingator> ive still got a 8gb one but it it has a metal case which is so bulky that it doesnt fit in the place where my usb ports are
[23:47] <Pingator> shape of a key, 4 cm width
[23:48] <Pingator> well then its night now and i can go salvage my booty
