|---|---|---|
| unchroot_me | I chrooted my HDD partition while on the liveCD (currently on it) | 03:25 |
| unchroot_me | How do I umount the chrooted partition? | 03:25 |
| L3top | you exit the chroot first | 03:37 |
| L3top | then umount -lf /dev/sdXY | 03:37 |
| L3top | where X is the drive and Y the partition you mounted | 03:38 |
| L3top | you literally type exit to leave the chroot | 03:38 |

| TopGear | Hi. Is there a fix for Clementine, which ignores the mediabuttons, like pause/play? | 07:29 |
| Smurphy | TopGear: didn't find any ... | 07:37 |
| Smurphy | Apparently it should work, but I never managed to get it to work. | 07:37 |
| TopGear | Smurphy: Hmm. That sucks... I do remember it working, though. I only don't recall when. | 07:38 |
| Smurphy | ack. | 07:38 |
| Smurphy | prefere Clementine to Amarok - but I need these buttons to work too :( | 07:39 |
| TopGear | Smurphy: I have Fn buttons on my laptop. They don't work but using Ctrl does. | 07:44 |
| Smurphy | TopGear: I have them all on my laptop and on my Keyboar connected to the Docking station of that laptop. Doesn't work. | 07:46 |
| Smurphy | Also - on the Mac-Mini I have - connected through a KVM - it doesn't work either., | 07:47 |
| Smurphy | Amarok works out of the Box though. | 07:47 |
| TopGear | Smurphy: Well, I'll go with Amarok for the time being. | 07:50 |
| fouad | Hello, I am using linux-kubuntu on my dell inspiron 5030. My "Disable Touchpad" button (on my keyboard) doesn't work, how can i fix that? | 07:57 |
| Smurphy | TopGear: same here ... | 08:00 |
| Smurphy | fouad: I'm doing ti differently. | 08:01 |
| Nicekiwi | howdo i setup my workspaces to cover both my monitors for each workspace? | 08:01 |
| Smurphy | fouad: with this: Device=`/usr/bin/xinput --list | grep AlpsPS | awk '{ print $7 }' | cut -d '=' -f 2` | 08:01 |
| Smurphy | I identify the device which is the touchpad. | 08:01 |
| Smurphy | and with this: /usr/bin/xinput --set-prop $Device 144 0 | 08:01 |
| Smurphy | I can disable it. | 08:01 |
| fouad | Smurphy: I am new with kubuntu/linux, i don't get what you are saying | 08:02 |
| fouad | Smurphy: but i am trying to disable it using the button on my keyboard that disables/enables it | 08:03 |
| Smurphy | fouad: The Disable Touchpad button works under Windows, because Windows has drivers for it. | 08:03 |
| Smurphy | Under Linux you don't have that driver. | 08:03 |
| Smurphy | so all you can do - is disable it thropugh other means. | 08:04 |
| fouad | Smurphy: but i remember i installed kubuntu or ubuntu on this same laptop and it worked | 08:04 |
| Smurphy | They have changed the old way to configure keyboards/mice in the last 2 releases. They moved over to evdev drivers. | 08:05 |
| Smurphy | It's not all as it was before. | 08:05 |
| fouad | Smurphy: i see | 08:06 |
| fouad | Smurphy: is there a way to only get this particular driver? | 08:06 |
| Smurphy | it's already there. The functionality is not yet implemented in the GUI. | 08:07 |
| Nicekiwi | Howdo I make a workspace include BOTH my displays into one workspace? Only one screen is used atm | 08:08 |
| fouad | Smurphy: so there is no way to make it work atm? | 08:09 |
| Smurphy | like that, as beginner with no knowledge on how to writ a script ? no. | 08:10 |
| fouad | Smurphy: ah okay. Thanks a ton ^^ | 08:11 |
| Smurphy | fouad: sorry... :} | 08:13 |

| CptJoe | #facebook-german | 10:55 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 11:01 |
| Nicekiwi_ | Howdo I make a workspace include BOTH my displays into one workspace? Only one screen is used atm | 11:01 |
| Nicekiwi_ | hey BluesKaj | 11:01 |
| peace | Nicekiwi_: systemsettings => display | 11:01 |
| peace | Nicekiwi_: or krandr | 11:02 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: that dosnt work if you have Nvidia drivers installed. (I do) | 11:02 |
| BluesKaj | hi Nicekiwi_ , peace | 11:02 |
| peace | Nicekiwi_: so you need to use nvidia tool | 11:02 |
| peace | i guess nvidia-settings from konsole | 11:02 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: that dosnt configure workspaces | 11:02 |
| peace | BluesKaj: hey | 11:02 |
| peace | Nicekiwi_: you want one desktop displayed on 2 screens right? | 11:03 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: I want one workspace displayed on 2 screens | 11:03 |
| peace | that is configured via nvidia-settings | 11:03 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: no its not | 11:03 |
| peace | ok | 11:04 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: what do you mean by desktop? | 11:04 |
| BluesKaj | we had a guy who had 3 monitors running off nvidia , and for some reason the recommended driver did not send a video signal to any monitor ...very frustrating | 11:04 |
| Nicekiwi_ | ouch | 11:05 |
| peace | BluesKaj: for those complicated stuff you need to edit the xorg.conf | 11:05 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: it was working before i upgraded my videocard, now the options to set it up arnt there anymore. | 11:05 |
| peace | Nicekiwi_: downgrade the video driver | 11:06 |
| peace | i dunno how to help you | 11:06 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: to what? | 11:06 |
| peace | !nvidia| Nicekiwi_ | 11:06 |
| ubottu | Nicekiwi_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 11:06 |
| BluesKaj | suspected a bad nvidia card at first...dunno what was wrong , never resolved the matter | 11:06 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: I removed the nVidia driver and Kubuntu refused to boot | 11:06 |
| peace | Nicekiwi_: write some feed back to nvidia ... | 11:06 |
| BluesKaj | the nouveau driver didn't load or did you blacklist it? | 11:07 |
| * peace uses intel video driver | 11:07 | |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: i think Linus' remarks about nvidia put that idea to sleep | 11:07 |
| Nicekiwi_ | BluesKaj: Ive used the Jocky tool, I havnt knowingly blacklisted nouveau | 11:07 |
| BluesKaj | Nicekiwi_, pk | 11:07 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 11:07 |
| peace | jokey-kde | 11:08 |
| peace | should be | 11:08 |
| Nicekiwi_ | :P same tribe | 11:08 |
| Nicekiwi_ | is jockey-kde | 11:08 |
| Nicekiwi_ | how do I remove the nvidia driver and fallback to nouveau? | 11:08 |
| peace | !nvidia| Nicekiwi_ | 11:09 |
| Nicekiwi_ | peace: not helpful.. | 11:09 |
| peace | i have to go now | 11:09 |
| peace | bye | 11:09 |
| Nicekiwi_ | :( | 11:09 |
| Nicekiwi_ | k | 11:09 |
| BluesKaj | drop to a tty , stop kdm , remove the diver , probly nvidia-current then startx, the nouveau driver should reload. Nicekiwi_ | 11:10 |
| Nicekiwi_ | hmmm ok.. | 11:10 |
| Nicekiwi_ | BluesKaj: btw, do you know howto kick nicekiwi to i can rejoin with my name in here? | 11:10 |
| Nicekiwi_ | so* | 11:11 |
| BluesKaj | if kdm is running the driver is in use hence you can't remove it | 11:11 |
| Nicekiwi_ | actually nevermind about the kicking | 11:11 |
| BluesKaj | Nicekiwi_, what ? | 11:11 |
| nicekiwi | dw, i forgot i was logged in on both comps | 11:12 |
| CptJoe | is there any irc just for chatting bout nonsense? | 11:12 |
| BluesKaj | CptJoe, #kubuntu-offtopic or if you prefer a whole lot more nonsense #ubuntu-offtopic , | 11:13 |
| cypher-neo | lol | 11:13 |
| BluesKaj | #ubuntu-offtopic has more users | 11:14 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: well.. it seems to have started with nouveau, but now what do I do? Last time i did this i couldnt been past grub | 11:14 |
| nicekiwi | boot* | 11:15 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, run this , glxinfo | grep OpenG , you may have to install mesa-utils for that command to work | 11:19 |
| BluesKaj | oops glxinfo | grep OpenGL | 11:20 |
| BluesKaj | that is an info command , it looks at which graphics module is loaded | 11:20 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: ok, done | 11:21 |
| BluesKaj | and what's the first line? | 11:21 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: 0_o.. apparently its using the VMware driver... | 11:21 |
| nicekiwi | Vender String: VMware, inc | 11:21 |
| BluesKaj | oh now you tell me yoiu're on VMware | 11:22 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: thats it, IM NOT!!! real hardware, intel cor2duo nvidia 550ti | 11:22 |
| nicekiwi | etc.. :/ | 11:22 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, pastebin the output of the OpenGL pls | 11:24 |
| Nicekiwi_ | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/z8dLYFhQ | 11:25 |
| BluesKaj | Nicekiwi_, try the command again, that was my fault , I dropped the L by mistake , glxinfo | grep OpenGL | 11:27 |
| Nicekiwi_ | BluesKaj: same result | 11:27 |
| BluesKaj | OpenGL instead of OpenG ? | 11:28 |
| Nicekiwi_ | BluesKaj: yup | 11:28 |
| BluesKaj | Nicekiwi_,well , looks like you xorg.conf is using the default graphics used by VMware ..I'm not familiar with that situation ..dealingf with VMware isn't in my aresenal | 11:34 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, my kdialog window never opens completely anymore; I have to terminate it. Do you know what that is? | 11:34 |
| Nicekiwi_ | BluesKaj: hmmm ive removed VMware driver, gonna restart x and see if it picked up nouveau | 11:34 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, you can try to locaye nouveau to make sure it's not in your blacklist file | 11:36 |
| BluesKaj | locate | 11:36 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: hmm normal boot just froze just past grub again :( | 11:36 |
| BluesKaj | kdialog window , aetoxx ? I'm not sure what you mean | 11:36 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, you get those when you try to save a document in any KDE application. | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, can you get to a tty ,? | 11:37 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: not from that point no | 11:39 |
| BluesKaj | aetoxx, you mean the dropdown dialog in the menubar ? for example when you click on "file"? | 11:40 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: how do i check if nouveau is blacklisted? | 11:41 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, no, I mean the component which shows a directory listing and where you can press 'save'. | 11:41 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, , got the live-cd or usb | 11:41 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, use the locate command | 11:41 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, the save file dialog. | 11:41 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, I think it runs in a separate process. | 11:42 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, called kdialog. | 11:42 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: ive booted into the UI in recovery mode with the VMware driver :/ | 11:43 |
| nicekiwi | the command finds a lot of nouveau files | 11:43 |
| BluesKaj | aetoxx, so you mean after editing a document , and saving | 11:43 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, for example. | 11:44 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, but for a pdf document no editing step is needed. | 11:44 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, so, it's just open pdf document in okular, press Save As and see it break. | 11:44 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, look for a file with blacklist in the list | 11:45 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: the xorg.conf file says nvidia is STILL the default driver :/ ive chnaged it to nouveau. | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | if it's not there then it's not blacklisted | 11:45 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: its not there | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, if you can't get to a tty , how can you edit the xorg.conf file ? | 11:46 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: i said when I try to boot normally i cant, im in recovery mode atm | 11:46 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, you said you could n't get to grub | 11:47 |
| BluesKaj | or past grub , now I recall , ok | 11:48 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: ya | 11:49 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: gah, still cant boot past grub :( | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, back to the recovery kernel , run, modprobe nv, at the root prompt | 11:53 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: FATAL: module nv not found | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, what's listed in jockey/additional drivers ? | 12:01 |
| aetoxx | Are bugs ever fixed based on number of votes? | 12:04 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: when I could get to it, only nvidia drivers | 12:05 |
| BluesKaj | aetoxx, I followed your example , but I had no problems withe the save dialog | 12:07 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 12:07 |
| === olaf is now known as Guest14032 | ||

| aetoxx | BluesKaj, I think some other bug is exactly the same and has >360 votes. | 12:09 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, that other bug is 3 years(!) old. | 12:09 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: grrr i cant install stuff :( | 12:12 |
| === emma is now known as em | ||
| BluesKaj | can you login with the recovery kernel , nicekiwi | 12:13 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: how do i do that? | 12:13 |
| BluesKaj | aetoxx, which kubuntu version are you running | 12:13 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: i can get to root prompt, but it wont let me install stuff | 12:14 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, 4.8.90 is my KDE version | 12:14 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, but it has been a problem since forever. | 12:15 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: it keeps trying to load the graphics drivers and gets stuck | 12:15 |
| BluesKaj | heh , 4.8.90 is in devel , one must expect bugs | 12:15 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, well , you seem to be getting hung by a faulty xorg,conf ... if possible , wipe it out ..probly affecting your nvidia driver | 12:17 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: nvidia drivers not installed atm | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | xorg.conf can help , but once it's corrupted it can be a real pain | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | do you have a livecd available , nicekiwi ..I asked before | 12:19 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: ive deleted the xorg.conf | 12:20 |
| nicekiwi | how do i reconfigure the xserver? theres a command i cant htink of | 12:20 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: i do have an ubuntu disk somewhwhere | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, yeah , hang on | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, nicekiwi | 12:23 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: cheers :) | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, or , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , but I think this repairs an existing xorg.conf , and sets up a rudimentary file | 12:26 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: still dosnt boot properly on normal boot | 12:27 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, try a hard boot | 12:27 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: i have been | 12:28 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: damn it! its still using that VMware driver in recovery boot D: *RAGE* | 12:29 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: how do I remove it form the kernel? the packages arnt installed | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | short of a clean install without VMware , I can't think of anything else | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | or removing VMware | 12:30 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: VMware is NOT installed | 12:31 |
| nicekiwi | I initially installed the OS inside VirtualBox, VMware was never used. | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | there must be some config files left over from previous vmware install | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj | or VB is using the same driver as VMware , I don't know much about virtiuals as I said earlier , look like it mucked up your setup , nicekiwi | 12:41 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: :( defected form the start | 12:41 |
| BluesKaj | why the VB , is it necessary for work ? | 12:42 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: no, i didnt have any blank DVDs to make a install disk or a USB drive. So I mounted the HDD in VirtualBox in my other computer and installed Kubuntu on it then put it back in my computer | 12:43 |
| nicekiwi | worked until now :/ | 12:44 |
| BluesKaj | well now different hardware was probly detected , hence the probs | 12:45 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: not reallly.. it still used the same driver and all :( just a newer nvidia card was added :( | 12:45 |
| BluesKaj | I'm surprised it worked at all in your pc | 12:45 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: why? | 12:46 |
| BluesKaj | not just the graphics , it may be some other problem with hardware the API is looking for | 12:47 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: :/ but nothing else changed... | 12:47 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: ive installed the Nvidia driver again and all is as it was before, but i still cant setup both screens to be one workspace | 12:48 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: one screen as one workspace on it and you can swap between its virtual workspaces, the other screen just has an empty workspace on it | 12:48 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, I don't know anything about multiple screens , the nvidia settings GUI should give some options in conjunction with your settings in dispay and monitor | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | I use a large screen monitor (our plasma tv) so I have no need or experience with multiples | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | maybe if you install , nvidia-settings-updates and nvidia-current-updates , you can keep witht changes without breakage , nicekiwi | 12:55 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: yeah... they dont offer the same things | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig or did you use the jockey to install the driver just now ? | 12:57 |
| OerHeks | nicekiwi, i never used nvidia drivers in Virtual Box, add guest additions and "Enable 3d acceleration" is ticked under Settings -> Display | 12:58 |
| OerHeks | multiple screens might work if the host can use 2 screens. | 12:59 |
| phoenix_firebrd | hello everyone | 12:59 |
| OerHeks | hi phoenix | 13:00 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: Jockey | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | hi phoenix_firebrd | 13:00 |
| phoenix_firebrd | OerHeks: hi | 13:00 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: hi | 13:00 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: but all is well now, i tried a diff option than i normall use in nvidia-settings and its doing what i want now :) | 13:01 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: thanks for all yr help :) | 13:01 |
| nicekiwi | OerHeks: totally misunderstood what we were tlaking bout, but all g now. | 13:01 |
| OerHeks | oke, have fun | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, heh , I was just told you don't need an xorg.conf file with multiple screens ."multiple screens should be supported by X.Org without the need for an xorg.conf" .over at #kde | 13:04 |
| nicekiwi | BluesKaj: interesting... | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | nicekiwi, ok , dunno how much help I was , but you're welcome | 13:05 |
| nicekiwi | anyways, 1am and TASpring at a ultrahigh gfx setting confirms GFX are working as they should. I bid thee Good Night. xD | 13:05 |
| nicekiwi | u did well :) | 13:05 |

| Lynoure | Tygar: so you might want to ask your actual question, someone might be able to help you. | 15:45 |
| Tygar | i have a "harvested" barbone PC with onboard SIS graphics chip. the driver seems to work, but i get some weird horizontal lines flickering over the screen, especially when i move the mousecursor | 15:48 |
| Tygar | i tried "NoAccel" "1" at the xorg.conf, but that didn't help, now i'm looking for some advice | 15:49 |

| c2tarun | hi, do anyone have any idea about httpfox? | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | c2tarun, idea?... what's the issue ? | 17:02 |
| BluesKaj | c2tarun, idea?... what's the issue ? | 17:02 |
| c2tarun | BluesKaj: Please look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2019402 this is my thread | 17:03 |
| c2tarun | can you help me with this. little bit of hint or any tutorial will also do. | 17:04 |
| c2tarun | BluesKaj: ping, there? | 17:06 |
| BluesKaj | c2tarun, are on a router with access to settings, most routers have username and password store options | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | are you on a router | 17:10 |
| c2tarun | yeah I am on a router but that username and password setting are for router protection. | 17:11 |
| c2tarun | I want to write an script which can do automatic logon to my ISP. | 17:12 |
| BluesKaj | no I mean access to internet settings that the ISP gave you when you installed the router | 17:12 |
| BluesKaj | your internet service account setings | 17:13 |
| c2tarun | no we can't give username and password for my ISP to my router. I have to enter it manually each time I try to connect to my ISP. | 17:13 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: There are some systems like Cisco routers, or some semi-public wifi which bring you first to a webpage where you have to plug in a name/pass then it opens up the dns and lets you go elsewhere | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | no options for storing them in the router ? | 17:13 |
| c2tarun | yeah genii-around said right. I have to enter my username and password and then I can connect to internet. | 17:14 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: Not usually | 17:14 |
| genii-around | c2tarun: Why not just tell firefox to remember your username and password for that site? | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | reminds me of dialup on windowes 95 | 17:15 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: Sort of the same, yeah | 17:15 |
| c2tarun | Plus a big problem is my ISP is pretty bad, it gets disconnected now and then, so I want to write an script that try to login to my ISP at an interval of every half an hour. so that in case I leave some big download. | 17:15 |
| c2tarun | genii-around: for that also I need to at least click the login button. | 17:16 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, interesting , what's your suggestion for a script ? | 17:16 |
| genii-around | c2tarun: Wait.. is your ISP using dialup, or is some something like DSL/cable | 17:16 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: I'm thinking now he may have PPP dialup | 17:16 |
| c2tarun | genii-around: its a wi-fi connection. They have a modem at the roof which is connected to my lappy via a router. when I try to connect to any website first I have to enter a username and password and after that I can access Internet. | 17:17 |
| c2tarun | its a broadband connection. | 17:17 |
| BluesKaj | yeah same here genii-around...iirc there used to be a small app that would would run when a browser was launched | 17:18 |
| BluesKaj | what about network manager , can't it be configured to do some such | 17:19 |
| c2tarun | is it possible to access some data from httpfox and create a html request and then send it to my ISP's IP | 17:19 |
| c2tarun | BluesKaj: I dont think so. | 17:20 |
| genii-around | Back | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | he left ...but it's hard to find an example on google that reflects his situation , genii-around | 17:32 |
| giantpune | hi, i have a usb device that ubuntu thinks is a modem, but it actually isnt, and it keepts trying to use it as one and connect to it. does anybody know how i can tell it not to do that? | 17:47 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: Looks like he might need some method more like http://linux-journal.blogspot.ca/2005/04/curl-examples.html where it says "Sometimes your HTTP access is only available through the use of a HTTP proxy. This seems to be especially common at various companies. A HTTP proxy may require its own user and password to allow the client to get through to the Internet." | 17:48 |
| genii-around | giantpune: What sort of device is it? | 17:49 |
| giantpune | it is an android cell phone which is set to a special diagnostic mode. kubuntu is trying to set it up using cdc_ether | 17:50 |
| giantpune | im trying to write my own driver for this diagnostic mode, but its really hard to debug with all the traffic kubuntu is creating as it tries to use it as a modem | 17:51 |
| genii-around | eHm | 17:56 |
| BluesKaj | giantpune, the phone is being recognized as an internet AP , it makes sense | 17:57 |
| genii-around | Yes, usually that or mass storage device is what it will see phones as | 17:57 |
| genii-around | giantpune: You're not using something like Eclipse and the ADB stuff? | 17:58 |
| giantpune | no | 17:58 |
| giantpune | is there just a simple way i can disable the CDC modem driver or give it the vid/pid and tell the network stuff in kubuntu never to try and use that? | 17:59 |
| Aknot | I added my own wallpaper but after logout it resets back to the default one, if i use one which i got from "get more wallpapers" it wont reset | 18:00 |
| genii-around | giantpune: Conceivably you can try to find it's vendor/device in /lib/udev/rules.d/ files and remove from or or blacklist | 18:02 |
| giantpune | i want it in the udev rules, i just dont want it treated as a modem | 18:03 |
| Aknot | Also i created shortcut to my other hdd but it disappeared aswell after logout | 18:03 |
| genii-around | giantpune: Do you know what driver it is using ? | 18:04 |
| genii-around | !blacklist | 18:04 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 18:04 |
| giantpune | dmesg is spitting out a bunch of stuff with cdc_acm and cdc_ether | 18:05 |
| genii-around | Aknot: Perhaps your desktop is loading a saved session which does not include the hd shortcut or new wallpaper | 18:05 |
| Aknot | no, i just installed kubuntu and everything is default | 18:05 |
| Aknot | and i checked that its set to restore previous session, not saved one | 18:05 |

| genii-around | giantpune: cdc_ether seems to be a module but bot cdc_acm | 18:07 |
| genii-around | giantpune: Something like: sudo lshw -C network might show you what driver the thing is using under the section that starts with "configuration:" | 18:15 |
| genii-around | Apologies on lag, work is requiring me often right now | 18:16 |
| giantpune | this is the relavent portion of the output. http://pastie.org/private/lcs1r96y659yaftulmug | 18:17 |
| giantpune | theres also good ole eth0 and wlan, which are really internet devices | 18:17 |
| emniyet | slm bu ubuntu 12.4un yenisi ne zaman ckıcak_?? | 18:18 |
| genii-around | giantpune: Yes, so cdc_ether is what it's using. So just use the bots !blacklist info to blacklist that driver | 18:19 |
| giantpune | ok, i added that line and disconnected/reconnected the phone and its still trying to use it as a modem. do i need to manually unload the module somehow? | 18:22 |
| genii-around | giantpune: Yes...sudo modprobe -r cdc_ether | 18:27 |

| qw_ | help me please | 18:33 |
| qw_ | i would like install Skype from my PC | 18:33 |

| qw_ | first sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 18:34 |
| qw_ | and second sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype | 18:35 |
| qw_ | end ? | 18:35 |
| genii-around | qw_: echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-skype.list | 18:37 |
| genii-around | qw_: Then after a sudo apt-get update should be available to install | 18:38 |
| Aknot | Im trying to install ut2k4, i changed from properties to "is executable" but it says i dont have permission. In ubuntu it just asked for password, on kubuntu it doesnt | 18:47 |
| genii-around | !info gimp > genii-around | 18:49 |
| bimmel | ut2k4 has a linux version? awesome? | 18:50 |
| bimmel | rly? | 18:50 |
| Aknot | yes | 18:52 |
| Aknot | so how do i give permission to it? | 18:52 |
| genii-around | Aknot: Is it owned by the user who is trying to run it? | 18:54 |
| Aknot | yes | 18:54 |
| Aknot | ? | 18:57 |
| genii-around | Aknot: I have not tried to run that before, just approaching the usual problems like wrong user or permissions, etc. | 18:59 |
| genii-around | Aknot: Have you tried perhaps with kdesudo ? | 19:00 |
| Aknot | what is that | 19:00 |
| genii-around | ( although if it did not need gksudo under regular ubuntu likely does not need kdesudo ) | 19:00 |
| Aknot | in ubuntu it asked for password when i put "allow executing" | 19:01 |
| Aknot | here it just says no permission | 19:01 |
| genii-around | Aknot: From konsole if you put ls -l filename ( where filename is the ut2k4 file ) what does it say? | 19:02 |
| Aknot | lrwxrwxrwx 1 username username 36 Jul 9 21:59 linux-installer.sh -> /media/UT2004_CD1/linux-installer.sh | 19:03 |
| genii-around | Aknot: since it's a symbolic link... what does ls -l /media/UT2004_CD1/linux-installer.sh say? | 19:18 |
| bimmel | Does Windows run on XEN? Does it have 3d support then? How do I install xen? What GUI is the best for it when just wanting to have both system running at the same time? How do you switch between them? | 19:22 |
| bimmel | Is there a better solution which does not require rebooting to switch? I have workstation, but it has no 3d support with radeon. It has with fglrx but fglrx makes my system incredibly unstable. | 19:24 |

| sekisushai | hello, i would like to write a bash script which open a terminal and execute some commands | 19:33 |
| sekisushai | like "konsole -e cd/my path" | 19:34 |
| sekisushai | it doesn't work of course, any help ? | 19:34 |
| Combatjuan | sekisushai: Try adding the --hold option to your konsole command. | 19:35 |
| sekisushai | Excellent ! thank mate :) | 19:36 |
| Combatjuan | No problem. Have fun! | 19:36 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: i think i fixed the microblog issue | 19:37 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel_: are you there? | 19:37 |
| sekisushai | Combatjuan : it doesn't work at the end : konsole --hold cd mypath | 19:51 |
| Daskreech | Combatjuan: could you ask in #kwin | 19:53 |
| Jekyll | sekisushai: konsole is a terminal emulator, not shell. Try konsole --hold -e bash -c "cd some/path;....." | 19:55 |
| Combatjuan | Daskreech: Certainly. Thank you. | 19:56 |
| Combatjuan | sekisushai: What Jekyll said. I had done that before with -e ssh but failed to note that this worked because ssh is a shell, not just a command. | 19:57 |
| sekisushai | hum, the goal is to do a shortcut script to launch a bash program in a directory | 20:08 |

| yofel_ | ah, can't do that now -> wednesday | 20:18 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel_: ?? | 20:18 |
| yofel_ | If you want me to test it it'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow, sorry | 20:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel_: can the two patches if approved in 2 days , can it make it to kde 4.9 final? | 20:20 |

| phoenix_firebrd | yofel_: ok | 20:21 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel_: whats special about wednesday? | 20:22 |
