[01:11] <junfeng> anyone
[01:12] <junfeng> hello
[02:04] <rosiu_> Hi all
[02:10] <skreech__> Hi
[04:27] <danilo> ho
[06:45] <Smurphy> Morning
[06:46] <jds_> a
[08:30] <Slobknob> o/
[08:33] <Slobknob> guys, im trying to create a script along the lines of sudo -u root sudo apt-get update && sudo -u root apt-get upgrade however sudo will prompt for password any ideas?
[08:33] <Slobknob> is there anyway to use sudo without a password promt?
[08:43] <gorgonizer> Slobknob: you could do sudo -i && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && logout.. it will only ask for the password once..
[08:45] <Slobknob> yeap kubuntu for some reason...
[08:45] <Slobknob> even sudo -i prompts me
[08:45] <gorgonizer> Slobknob: yes, but that will give you a root prompt, so any commands that as a normal user need sudo no longer require it..
[08:46] <Slobknob> so what i did was i reconfigured the sudoers.txt file in /etc to remove the prompt for sudo
[08:46] <Slobknob> yeah but even if it gives me a root promp it still needs human interaction
[08:47] <gorgonizer> oh.. I like the need for a password to access the power of root, but I usually open a root session in yakuake as soon as I log in..
[08:47] <Slobknob> yakuake?
[08:47] <Slobknob> im  completely new at linux sry
[08:48] <gorgonizer> it is like console, but it collapses to and from the top of the screen upon pressing F12..
[08:48] <Slobknob> what ever keep ur engines compress yo... u know what im saying
[08:49] <Slobknob> i just off of windows, and linux is nastttty, its all truth
[08:49] <Slobknob> windows is lies
[08:49] <Slobknob> i configured my grub loadout, removed grub menu entries, made text green, and used a nice background image
[08:50] <Slobknob> linux is nasty
[08:50] <Slobknob> all those years i waisted on windows, the dreaded past...
[08:51] <gorgonizer> I did that, but realised for me it is entirely pointless, as I hardly ever reboot my system..  i enjoy Linux quite a lot, though I have a tendency to break it..
[08:51] <Slobknob> in what sense?
[08:52] <gorgonizer> I have a tendency to use bleeding edge packages where I can, so I am on KDE SC 4.9 Beta 2, a git version of VLC..  things can break if go a bit nuts with what you install..
[08:53] <gorgonizer> though Linux has moved on a lot (mainly for the better) from when I first used it..  being trapped in a dependency hell is less likely nowadays I have found..
[08:54] <Slobknob> i remember that....
[08:54] <Slobknob> wait u mean during package instalation u needed to manualy download each dependancy?
[08:55] <Slobknob> sorry my english is bad
[08:56] <Slobknob> hold ill be back soon
[09:05] <mebunto> Linux isn't nasty, you just need to learn how to use it.  That takes some time and effort because the philosophy is very different from Windows.
[09:05] <mebunto> The level of help and how-to for Linux is fantastic.
[09:06] <mebunto> Just use google and you will find answers to most things.
[09:36] <RocknRolla> hey is there any package that that can be used to enable mac osx like mouse gasture to my ubuntu
[09:37] <hateball> what is "osx like" ?
[09:37] <hateball> you can enable mouse gestures if you like
[09:38] <RocknRolla> like when you slide three finger from mouse pad application list pop up
[09:39] <RocknRolla> that multi-touch gasture
[09:44] <hateball> dont bother sticking around to get an answer
[10:28] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !
[11:15] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:48] <artao> g'day mates!! dual-booting question here .. ... i wanna put win 7 on my 80gig SATA drive. the drive is #2 in the SATA chain, behind my 500gig drive which has my Kubuntu ... ... i don't want to risk windoze messin up my linux install somehow, so i intend to remove the linux drive and put the 80gig in alone, then write the win 7 ghost back onto it
[11:49] <artao> THEN put the 80gig back in SATA slot 2, put the 500gig back as primary boot drive, and see what happens .. ... the boot loader SHOULD just automagically recognize that the 2nd drive now has win 7 on it, yes? <hope> <fingers crossed>
[11:55] <BluesKaj> artao,  my experirnce with windows is that whatever is designated as /dev/sda will be the drive it's programmed to install on . so if you remove /dev/sda for example you'll receive a mewssage when installing windows that there are available drives . Kubuntu can be installed on any drive that's formatted to accept a Linux OS.
[11:56] <BluesKaj> with windows there are no available drives , rather
[11:56] <artao> kubuntu is already installed. it's what i'm using.
[11:57] <BluesKaj> windows requires the drive to be designated as /dev/sda , is what I mean
[11:57] <artao> the 80gig USED to be linux, and i can still boot to it ... i now wanna change that to win 7 ... for video gaming
[11:57] <artao> what? you've confused me ... windows doesn't look at drives that way .. i don't know what you mean
[11:58] <artao> i'm asking if the boot-loader will automagically see that the 80gig drive has changed from linux to windows
[11:58] <BluesKaj> artao, that was my experience with 2 drives
[11:59] <BluesKaj> which boot loader , grub or windows mbr ?
[11:59] <artao> whichever kubuntu uses
[11:59] <artao> the linux drive will be the boot drive
[11:59] <artao> as it is now
[12:00] <artao> i forget if kubuntu uses grub or lilo. i assumed that would be known here. -D
[12:01] <BluesKaj> artao, kubuntu uses grub2
[12:01] <artao> k then. it should just see than win 7 is there right?
[12:02] <artao> i just don't wanna risk win 7 trying to take anything over
[12:02] <BluesKaj> artao, it's a known issue that installing windows on the same drive as a Linbux OS that grub wull be wiped and has to be reinstalled
[12:03] <artao> ok. not the case here. physically seperate drives.
[12:03] <artao> that is scary tho. freakin windows <grr>
[12:03] <BluesKaj> yes , same here but windows would only install on /dev/sda ...that was my experience
[12:04] <artao> i assume what i'm thinkin will work as i think ... but i also don't wanna try it and find out win 7 has borked everything
[12:04] <artao> see tho, i've got an HD ghost of that 80gig drive with win 7 on it from before i put linux on it ...i'm not going to "install" win 7, just write the ghost back to the 80gig drive =D =D =D
[12:05] <BluesKaj> arto , run the partiton manager in kubuntu , and the drive designations there
[12:06] <artao> hmm. yer confusing me re: the drive designations. i don't see why win 7 or grub2 would care about that
[12:08] <BluesKaj> ahh sorry I misundertstood ...dunno about dd the ghost image back to the other ...never tried that
[12:08] <artao> k =D
[12:11] <BluesKaj> artao, so you have the windows image on the other drive and you plan to connect the drive back up to the same mobo/pc as the kubuntu drive
[12:14] <BluesKaj> artao, try to boot into the kubntu drive first , then run sudo update-grub , so grub picks up the windows drive and then you can boot into the windows mbr from grub ...that's probly the best method , IMO
[12:19] <artao> sry, had to make coffee
[12:20] <artao> um. the win 7 image is on dvds, and i plan to remove the 500gig so windows has NO IDEA there's linux anywhere, write win 7 back to the drive, put the 500gig back in as the boot drive, and hopefully grub2 sees and win 7 and win 7 will boot
[12:20] <artao> aha! thx. sudo update-grub
[12:20] <artao> cool
[12:21] <artao> can that be done AT the boot loader? just go to command prompt from the boot loader i assume?
[12:21] <stripe> Hi all Graphics problems with kubuntu 12.04 64bit, athlon x4 2800mhz, 8gb ram, nvidia GTS450 graphics card, have tried standfard drivers experimental drivers, drivers fron nvidias site installed from tty with x closed. have just done a frresh install, ran updates, added restricted extras, and thats it where should I start?
[12:26] <HackerII> ok
[12:26] <BluesKaj> right
[12:26] <HackerII> lemme link you on who DHS is and what they have been doing, brb
[12:27] <BluesKaj> well, I'm in Canada , so I don't too much about your DHS
[12:27] <BluesKaj> hear
[12:27] <artao> thx BluesKaj. i think that's my project for today. .. the urge to play gran turismo 4 is overwhelming, and my other machine apparently can't quite emulate a PS2 <heh>
[12:28] <BluesKaj> artao, right gaming on linux has come a long way , but it still has some issues
[12:28] <artao> yeah. the PS2 emulator under linux has no video output yet. i tried it.
[12:29] <artao> and i just can't get into other racing games. there's something about the gran turismo series that just keeps compelling me to keep playing
[12:29] <HackerII> it wont matter kaj, they already have all military working together, but for now, according to the Geneva convention, hollow points are illegal in a war, also against their own citizens, so, why did they do this?  :http://www.theblaze.com/stories/why-is-homeland-security-buying-450-million-rounds-of-hollow-point-bullets/
[12:29] <artao> i've got TORCS and Speed Dreams, and they're AWESOME racing simulators .. .but they lack all the tuning and customizations that gran turismo has ...
[12:31] <BluesKaj> artao, I hope your proposed setup works ok for you ...had windows on the other drive for a while but it bored me , so i installed kubuntu 12.10 alpha on it and I'm using as a test drive
[12:31] <artao> .. and i am FAR from a gear-head .. heck, i don't even OWN a car!!
[12:31] <HackerII> hese is a link that is not only more accurate, prolly more trustworthy:  ill sit back and sit tight for now: http://www.naturalnews.com/035649_DHS_ammunition_domestic_war.html
[12:31] <artao> i've found linux to be SIGNIFICANTLY faster at doing renders with blender and suchnot. linux for work, windows for play.
[12:31] <artao> =]
[12:33]  * HackerII goes for more ice water, back in 3 mins
[12:33]  * BluesKaj nods at artao
[12:34] <stripe> ff
[12:35] <HackerII> ok
[12:36] <BluesKaj> HackerII, it's better if you posted this DHS stuff in #kubuntu-offtopic , the next time
[12:37] <HackerII> see my concern as to why DHS is now involved with networking?, and why are they involved in updates?, i know NSA put back doors in windows, everyone knows that, but, whats up with this is my question. Its got me a little concerned.
[12:37] <HackerII> ok
[12:41] <ikonia> HackerII: plesase don't make things up too, things like "NSA put back doors in windows" - if you can't talk about a converation without making things up, best not to talk about it
[12:50] <phoenix_firebrd> hello everyone
[12:50] <phoenix_firebrd> Anyone testing kde 4.9
[12:54] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, yes , but I'm on 12.10
[12:54] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: hi, thats cool
[12:55] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: did you install from daily build?
[12:55] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: i mean the cd image
[12:56] <BluesKaj> yes , from the live-cd i64 bit mage
[12:56] <BluesKaj> err 64 bit
[12:58] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: does tha default plasma pannel look good when plasma-desktop crashes and restarts?
[13:00] <redstar427> hi everyone :)  I have Kubuntu 12.04, and it has worked great until a couple of days ago after software updates, now the sound stutters in youtube and playing videos in vlc or xine.  anyone else experiencing this?
[13:06] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: hi
[13:06] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: what happens is youtube is bug
[13:07] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: http://bramp.net/blog/2011/06/linux-64bit-flash-glibc-memcpy-bug/
[13:09] <redstar427> ok, but why does the same stuttering happen when playing videos with vlc or xine, and it didn't before the software update a couple of days ago?
[13:09] <BluesKaj> err 64 bitpho the plasma panel doesn't crash here
[13:09] <BluesKaj> oops hehe
[13:10] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, the plasma panel doesn't crash here
[13:12] <BluesKaj> redstar427, have yo installed the recommended graphics diver in kmenu>apps>system>additonal drivers , if it's listed there
[13:13] <redstar427> I don't think so, let me check...
[13:14] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: when happens when you restart it?
[13:14] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, restart it? ...it doesn't crash
[13:14] <redstar427> Yes, the Nvidia drivers are running
[13:15] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: did you restart plasma-desktop?
[13:15] <BluesKaj> redstar427, make sure they're activated
[13:15] <redstar427> they are activated
[13:15] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: after ending the plasma-desktop process
[13:16] <BluesKaj> on reboot ?
[13:17] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: talking to me?
[13:17] <BluesKaj> yes
[13:18] <redstar427> It looks like there are updates to the nvidia drivers, I will install them...
[13:18] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: no. End the plasma-desktop process and start it again and see how the plasma's default panel appears
[13:20] <redstar427> ok, I need to restart to try them...
[13:28] <BluesKaj> had to reboot any way due to a whole lot of X conf updates , but I see no changes in the plasma panel , phoenix_firebrd
[13:29] <ScottyK> Greetings! I have a video file that I want to chop out part of it. What do you recommend for a video editing program for Kubuntu? Something fairly easy to use on the first install. Thanks!
[13:30] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: after ending and restarting the plasma-desktop process?
[13:31] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: avidemux or kdenlive
[13:31] <ScottyK> phoenix_firebird - thanks...
[13:31] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: i will prefer avidemux
[13:32] <ScottyK> great, I'll check that one out first.
[13:32] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: you will have to learn to use the interface first
[13:32] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: enjoy
[13:32] <ScottyK> Do I want to QT or GTK version?
[13:32] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: qt
[13:33] <redstar427> Hello again. The updated nvidia drivers had no effect on the stuttering sound, neither did the memcpy-preload.so, but thanks for the help.
[13:33] <ScottyK> sweet
[13:33] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, what exactly are you expecting me to see ?
[13:34] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: i will paste the snap of mine
[13:34] <ScottyK> On a semi-related question, how do I set program defaults? with the installation of avidemux, I still want videos to open up with VLC
[13:36] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj:  http://imagebin.org/218866
[13:36] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: look at the taskbar
[13:37] <BluesKaj> redstar427, have you checked your sound , namely alsamixer , phonon and pulseaudio settings ? and perhaps you need to reinstall kubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:37] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: right click the video file and select properties
[13:38] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: then you will see a wrinch icon on the right
[13:39] <phoenix_firebrd> ScottyK: click on it and in the opening dialog, move the application which you want it be default in the application preference section
[13:40] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: so did you see something like that?
[13:40] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, hoe did you manage to transfer just the panel image ...I've been using quicklaunch instead of icons in the panel
[13:40] <ScottyK> Thanks!! I've missed the wrench icon in the past!
[13:40] <BluesKaj> how
[13:42] <redstar427> I see Phonon, but no settings, per se.  How do I reinstall the extras, like using Synaptic?
[13:42] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: print screen and then in the ksnapshot app i selected "rectangle region" in the capture mode option
[13:43] <BluesKaj> ok
[13:43] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: for me quicklaunch disappeared some year's back
[13:43] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: *years
[13:44] <BluesKaj> works well  ere
[13:45] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: don't mistake me, did you try what i said?
[13:46] <redstar427> I used Apper, and removed, then reinstalled Kubuntu-restricted-extras... still no effect on video playback
[13:47] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: you have problem with only the audio right?
[13:47] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, yes , no change , all is well
[13:48] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: oh, then something must be wrong in my installation, its the taskbar widget
[13:48] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, hang on I'll show mine
[13:48] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: are you using 12.10 as your main install?
[13:48] <redstar427> yes, video plays fine, just the audio stutters in some parts of the video.  again, it worked great until after software updates a couple of days ago
[13:49] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: do you know about paste.kde.org?
[13:49] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, no I'm testing 12.10 on one HDD and I have 12.04 on the main drive
[13:50] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: any notable changes?
[13:51] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: if yes then paste the output of "mplayer somevideo.avi" here
[13:51] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: i am assuming you have mplayer in your system
[13:51] <redstar427> let me check...
[13:52] <redstar427> yes, mplayer is installed
[13:53] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: ok
[13:56] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: sorry its not the taskbar, its the system tray that looks bad
[13:56] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, http://imagebin.org/218869 , you may have reduce the size due to my monitor being a 42" plasma
[13:57] <redstar427> paste the mplayer output here in irc, or on paste.kde.org?
[13:59] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: paste the output in paste.kde.org, it will goto a pasge, paste the new webaddress here
[13:59] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: *page
[14:00] <redstar427> http://paste.kde.org/509870/
[14:00] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, notice the quicklaunchers ...very handy IMO
[14:00] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj:yep with that monitor size its sure will be :)
[14:01] <redstar427> video playback started fine with mplayer, then started to stutter after 29 seconds
[14:01] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: in my system the system tray empty length gets wide for every restart of plasma-desktop
[14:02] <FlashDeluxe> hi! does anybody know a free smtp relay server?
[14:04] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: no errors in log regarding audio
[14:04] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: who is the cpu usage levels during video playback?
[14:05] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: *how
[14:06] <redstar427> I have an Intel i7 965 Extreme Edition cpu, quad-core with 8 threads, and the cpu is barely effected (20% on 1 cpu thread during video playback)
[14:07] <redstar427> since this problem affect all video playback (mplayer, vlc, xine, youtube), it does appear to be a system problem, or audio drivers.
[14:08] <redstar427> it will even stutter sometimes during the system settings "test"
[14:09] <phoenix_firebrd> redstar427: run this command "sudo alsa force-reload" and end the "pulseaudio" process, the process will restart automatically. After that see if audio is ok
[14:09] <redstar427> ok
[14:13] <redstar427> reloaded, process killed and restarted, still same problem
[14:14] <redstar427> (note, I had already tried a reboot earlier)
[14:15] <BluesKaj> alsa force reload doesn't always work , redstar427 , a reboot might tho
[14:18] <BluesKaj> alsa force reload can also break stuff , i don't like that command at all
[14:20] <redstar427> The last software update had a kernel update so I restarted then, and it had no effect on this problem.
[14:21] <redstar427> The stuttering is annoying, but when the video and audio plays out of sync, it can be frustrating.
[15:00] <redstar427> well, I think I may have found the cause, but I don't like it.  It seems when Chrome is running, it causes this problem.  Chrome was recently updated to Version 20.0.1132.47
[15:00] <redstar427> If I close Chrome, the problem stops
[15:01] <redstar427> which is unfortunate, because until recently this never happened.
[15:02] <BluesKaj> redstar427, have you tried chromium?
[15:03] <redstar427> I use chromium also, just for different pages
[15:04] <faglnar> Is there any >3.x Kernel Desktoplinux Distro which is usably stable?
[15:07] <redstar427> I will do more experimentation.  I removed all the pages are start with, and the problem stopped, so it might be one of my start pages.
[15:54] <redstar427> It definitely seems like Chrome is the issue.  Some pages cause this.  However, if I use Chromium, I have no issues.  Too bad, as I just got used to using Chrome. :)
[15:54] <geoff__> Isn't Chrome based on Chromium's source?
[15:56] <redstar427> Yes, I think so.
[15:56] <geoff__> google just stuffed in a native PDF reader and its V8 engine
[15:56] <redstar427> However, chrome does not cause the issue until some of the pages I use are loaded, like Google+
[15:57] <geoff__> I wasn't here when you were describing your issue
[15:57] <redstar427> but Google+ on chromium do not cause the issue
[15:58] <redstar427> the sound when playing videos stutters and will get out of sync, and it also affected video playback in vlc, xine and mplayer (until I closed chrome)
[15:58] <redstar427> it didn't happen with chrome 19, but it does now on chrome 20
[16:00] <geoff__> you could either upgrade to chrome 21 or downgrade to 19?
[16:00]  * BluesKaj doesn't understand the insistence on using chrome
[16:01] <BluesKaj> I dumped both in favour of FF , it does the job and doesn't spy on me as much :)
[16:01] <geoff__> but spying is half the fun
[16:03] <BluesKaj> geoff__, not if you can't use it properly
[16:06] <redstar427> I just tested chrome unstable 21 and it had the same issue
[16:06] <redstar427> synaptic doesn't list chrome 19, or I would test it
[16:07] <geoff__> can't you just build from source?
[16:07] <mah454> Hello
[16:07] <mah454> I only use this repository : "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse"
[16:07] <mah454> but can not install kdelibs5-dev !
[16:07] <geoff__> yes
[16:07] <mah454> can you install this package ?
[16:08] <mah454> this output : http://pastebin.com/GQWWTav4
[16:08] <mah454> How can fix this ?
[16:10] <Smurphy> it's the development stuff. Wait a day - and when they updated the repository, update again and it should fix it
[16:28] <Guest19017> Hello. Quick question. If I resize a partition with the partition editor, will I lose data on that partition?
[16:31] <redstar427> Chromium is version 18, which is why it probably works, and chrome 20/21 has the issue
[16:32] <genii-around> Guest19017: If the partition was file-checked previously and marked clean, usually not. Just don't try to make the partition smaller than the amount of data that is currently on it ( plus some leeway )
[16:32] <redstar427> BluesKaj, I just Chrome for some pages, Chromium for others, and Firefox for still other pages, all with different logins, so I can login multiple times with at once.
[16:32] <BluesKaj> Guest19017,  not if you resize only , but back up your data if possible
[16:34] <genii-around> Also of course you can't resize stuff that is currently mounted or in use, etc
[16:34] <artao> YAY!! win 7 image went on no prob. win 7 has NO CLUE about the linux install. =D Kubuntu sees it and is fine with it. .. ... .. now for assuredly massive updating, then TIME FOR SOME GAMIN!!
[16:34]  * BluesKaj nods at redstar427 , well to each his own for whatever reasons :)
[16:35] <BluesKaj> artao, cool :)
[16:35] <artao> BluesKaj, thx for your help. i'd'a had no clue about the sudo update-grub .. probably woulda found it "eventually"
[16:36] <BluesKaj> artao, np , all you have to do is ask :)
[16:36] <artao> anyone here use win 7? know if there's a window shading add-on for win 7? .. i use it ALL the time under kubuntu
[16:36] <artao> and i did, and you helped, and it works now =D YAY
[16:37] <BluesKaj> artao, best to ask in #windows
[16:37] <BluesKaj> about the shading thing
[16:37] <artao> of course. makes sense.
[16:39] <artao> now i hope i get my check today so i can get some pre-pay plastic so i can order a PCI-e 16x 6 inch extender cable .. so i can FINALLY use my GeForce GTX560 Ti instead of this crappy old ATI x600 ...
[16:42] <redstar427> I only use Windows when force at gunpoint. :P
[16:42] <genii-around> I only use it for playing Bluray
[16:43] <artao> i installed it for games
[16:43] <redstar427> ok, I play some games on it. (hides)
[16:43] <artao> x3 reunion. silent hunter series, ps2 emulator ...
[16:44] <artao> others
[16:44] <artao> linux has SOME ok games, but nuttin that quite matches windows ... UrT and suchnot is pretty close tho
[16:45] <artao> anyhow, just wanted to say thx to BluesKaj and let 'im know it's all workin fine
[16:45] <artao> l8r folks. i have hours of updates and settings adjustment ahead of me now.
[16:46] <dougl> can anyone help me trouble shoot my kubuntu 12.04 install... it keeps on locking up - it is pretty much stock install with nvidia graphics card -> I don't know where to start.
[16:49] <BluesKaj> dougl, , kmenu>system>additional drivers>activate the recommended driver if you haven't already done so , then you'll have to reboot
[16:49] <dougl> BluesKaj, thanks - checking now but I think that it is done...
[16:50] <BluesKaj> actually kmenu>apps>system etc
[16:51] <redstar427> It seems I am not alone with problems with sound on chrome, there are a lot of people with the same complaints on the chrome forum, and other sound issues related to the latest flash, which chrome uses the latest version internally (11.3)
[16:54] <BluesKaj> redstar427, pci soundcard or onboard
[16:54] <BluesKaj> ?
[16:54] <redstar427> onboard
[16:55] <dougl> BluesKaj, yeah - was not the latest nvidia drivers... but I thinks nvidia drivers were being used => there is an option to install proprietary drivers at time of install, correct?
[16:55] <BluesKaj> new pc , within last yr
[16:55] <BluesKaj> redstar427,^
[16:55] <redstar427> custom build pc, great motherboard, but 2 years old, asus rampage extreme 2
[16:59] <BluesKaj> dougl, no proprietary install options for nvidia drivers , the nouveau driver is usually the default for nvidia cards until the recommended drivers are installed
[16:59] <dougl> BluesKaj, K - thanks... rebooting now with new drivers
[17:07] <BluesKaj> redstar427, have you checked system settings>multimedia.phonon>device preferences (depends on your audio output setup whether analog or digital) . Test the devices in the list and choose the one that suits your audio setup . Then check the "audio hardware setup" tab for setting the sound outputs
[17:09] <BluesKaj> redstar427, the audio hardware setup tab is actually your pulseaudio output settings
[17:09] <redstar427> BluesKaj, there is only one choice in preferences tab, "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo"
[17:10] <redstar427> (under Phonon section)
[17:11] <BluesKaj> redstar427, so you have speakers connected to the soundcard , then in the hardware tab choose the analog as well
[17:11] <mah454> I need keyboard shortcut for move windows beetwen desktops . in gnome I use "Ctrl+Alt+shift+<Arrow Keys (Up/Down/Left/Right)>"
[17:11] <mah454> How can set this shortcut ?
[17:15] <redstar427> In the hardware tab, there are several profiles, since the onboard sound is 7.1, but I am only using stereo speakers (2.0)
[17:15] <BluesKaj> mah454, you can use the pager widgets in  panel to accomplish the same thing , or in system settings>shortcuts & gestures , I think
[17:16] <redstar427> analog was already selected on the hardware page
[17:17] <BluesKaj> redstar427, is there a stereo option profile?
[17:19] <redstar427> BluesKaj, yes, it is already set for "Analog Stereo Output"
[17:20] <redstar427> but since the problem only occurs when chrome is running, and doesn't occur when it is not, I believe chrome 20/21 and its internal flash (11.3) is the issue.
[17:22] <BluesKaj> yeah , well it's good to make sure everything else is correct in order to track down the problem and isolate it
[17:23] <BluesKaj> maybe chrome doesn't look in the mozlla plugins for libflashplayer..so , but uses the alternate one ...forgotten the name since I set flash up manually on my system
[18:52] <artao> hey there. .. kubuntu seems to think my secondary monitor can only display 1024x768, but i know for a FACT it can do 1280x1024. I can find nowhere to change this. i know it's there somewhere. plz help thx
[19:08] <mokush> does anybody know where the default coords for the cashew are stored (the one that set the position of the cashew on new activities)?
[19:16] <artao> well, i found this. is this seriously my only option? crap :: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/Config/Resolution
[19:16] <artao> can't i force somehow a re-detection of available video modes?
[19:18] <nitin> i like kfaenza folders with bright-modified color scheme
[19:24] <n1ckn4me09876543> when I try to remove Language Support it tells me this:  If you uninstall Language Support, future updates will not include new items in The Ubuntu desktop system set. Are you sure you want to continue?  The ubuntu desktop system \n ubuntu-desktop.
[19:24] <n1ckn4me09876543> is it safe to remove it?
[19:25] <dougl> BluesKaj, you around = time to chat?
[19:27] <Trebacz> A recent version of Samba 3.6.3 is causing issues with my backup software (http://blog.trebacz.com/2012/05/backuppc-got-fatal-error-during-xfer.html). What are the dangers of building Samba 3.6.6 outside of kubuntu repositories?
[19:29] <Trebacz> Pointing to any net resource to understand would be great.
[21:01] <brian6705> I need some help with what seems to be a less-common install and trying to get GRUB to work happily
[21:08] <brian6705> So I have windows installed on my primary hdd.  I installed Ubuntu server on my secondary hdd last night but didn't like how it was behaving.  Today I installed Kubuntu on the secondary hdd.  Server installed Grub to the MBR of the primary hdd but it's now not functional because of my reinstall.  If I let the computer boot by itself it boots to the grub recovery console (which is useless).  So I have it booted into kubuntu now (by forcing
[21:08] <brian6705> the BIOS to use the secondary hdd as the boot device) and I'd like to update grub on the primary HDD with the current install so that it works happily
[21:15] <brian6705> anybody?
[21:58] <levi501d> run grub-install
[21:59] <levi501d> has anyone tried/managed to get chrome-dev and chrome-stable to install into seperate directories? or know of a way to tell apt to install a package in a different dir, say /opt/google/stable and /opt/google/dev ?
[23:00] <wa5qjh> Hello, the channel. Anybody here can tell me why I have to keep re-enabling the broadband  connection in the network manager?
[23:04] <wa5qjh> I live in a very remote area of the Philippines and use a USB, GSM modem to connect to the net. sometimes the signal goes down to mud and stays too long. when it does netmanager gives up on it  but then it doesn't recognize when the signal returns.  it simply disables the broadband.  I dont have wifi avaialable here but that possible connection is never just turned off.
[23:07] <wa5qjh> maybe somebody can tell me how or where to go and tell netmaqnager to leave it on.
[23:17] <genii-around> wa5qjh: Does it use a serial port like /dev/ttyUSB0 and dialling commands like the old modems ( ATZ to reset, ATDT ####### to dial, etc ) ?
[23:51] <KONDOR> :)
[23:52] <amar> codeblocks crashes
[23:53] <amar> anyone know why ?
[23:53] <amar> or experienced it before ?
[23:59] <wa5qjh> genii-around : Sorry I was off browsing a few things. Yes on both of those possibilities. Matter of fact the "providers" list covers my provider. Smart.com.ph
[23:59] <dougl> how do I restart samba services after a config change?
[23:59] <wa5qjh> seems I'm not the only Texan  in Samar Philippines. :)
