[03:24] <unchroot_me> Hello all.
[03:25] <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?
[03:37] <L3top> you exit the chroot first
[03:37] <L3top> then umount -lf /dev/sdXY
[03:38] <L3top> where X is the drive and Y the partition you mounted
[03:38] <L3top> you literally type exit   to leave the chroot
[06:31] <manoooo> hi
[07:02] <surfn> hi
[07:04] <surfn> if I downloaded a .jar and wanted to put it in a directory, which one should it go in?  (keeping with Linux rules)
[07:29] <TopGear> Hi. Is there a fix for Clementine, which ignores the mediabuttons, like pause/play?
[07:37] <Smurphy> TopGear: didn't find any ...
[07:37] <Smurphy> Apparently it should work, but I never managed to get it to work.
[07:38] <TopGear> Smurphy: Hmm. That sucks... I do remember it working, though. I only don't recall when.
[07:38] <Smurphy> ack.
[07:39] <Smurphy> prefere Clementine to Amarok - but I need these buttons to work too :(
[07:44] <TopGear> Smurphy: I have Fn buttons on my laptop. They don't work but using Ctrl does.
[07:46] <Smurphy> TopGear: I have them all on my laptop and on my Keyboar connected to the Docking station of that laptop. Doesn't work.
[07:47] <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.
[07:50] <TopGear> Smurphy: Well, I'll go with Amarok for the time being.
[07:57] <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?
[08:00] <Smurphy> TopGear: same here ...
[08:01] <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.
[08:02] <fouad> Smurphy: I am new with kubuntu/linux, i don't get what you are saying
[08:03] <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.
[08:04] <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
[08:05] <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.
[08:06] <fouad> Smurphy: i see
[08:06] <fouad> Smurphy: is there a way to only get this particular driver?
[08:07] <Smurphy> it's already there. The functionality is not yet implemented in the GUI.
[08:08] <Nicekiwi> Howdo I make a workspace include BOTH my displays into one workspace? Only one screen is used atm
[08:09] <fouad> Smurphy: so there is no way to make it work atm?
[08:10] <Smurphy> like that, as beginner with no knowledge on how to writ a script ? no.
[08:11] <fouad> Smurphy: ah okay. Thanks a ton ^^
[08:13] <Smurphy> fouad: sorry... :}
[08:44] <nandhu> how to join other channel

[10:38] <aetoxx> My kdialog save dialog don't work anymore. Is this a known problem? For example, when I click 'Save As' in okular, I get a nice greyish (unresponding) save dialog.
[10:45] <Nicekiwi_> hi
[10:46] <Nicekiwi_> i need helps with my video setup
[10:47] <CptJoe> heyho
[10:47] <Nicekiwi_> Howdo I make a workspace include BOTH my displays into one workspace? Only one screen is used atm
[10:47] <Nicekiwi_> i has Nvidia drivers installed
[10:55] <CptJoe> #facebook-german
[11:01] <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
[11:02] <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
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <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
[11:05] <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.
[11:06] <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] <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 ...
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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?
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <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?
[11:11] <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 ?
[11:12] <nicekiwi> dw, i forgot i was logged in on both comps
[11:12] <CptJoe> is there any irc just for chatting bout nonsense?
[11:13] <BluesKaj> CptJoe, #kubuntu-offtopic or if you prefer a whole lot more nonsense #ubuntu-offtopic ,
[11:13] <cypher-neo> lol
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <nicekiwi> boot*
[11:19] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, run this , glxinfo | grep OpenG , you may have to install mesa-utils for that command to work
[11:20] <BluesKaj> oops glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[11:20] <BluesKaj> that is an info command , it looks at which graphics module is loaded
[11:21] <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
[11:22] <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.. :/
[11:24] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, pastebin the output of the OpenGL pls
[11:25] <Nicekiwi_> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/z8dLYFhQ
[11:27] <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
[11:28] <BluesKaj> OpenGL instead of OpenG ?
[11:28] <Nicekiwi_> BluesKaj: yup
[11:34] <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
[11:36] <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
[11:37] <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 ,?
[11:39] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: not from that point no
[11:40] <BluesKaj> aetoxx, you mean the dropdown dialog in the menubar ? for example when you click on "file"?
[11:41] <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.
[11:42] <aetoxx> BluesKaj, I think it runs in a separate process.
[11:42] <aetoxx> BluesKaj, called kdialog.
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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.
[11:45] <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
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, you said you could n't get to grub
[11:48] <BluesKaj> or past grub , now I recall , ok
[11:49] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: ya
[11:50] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: gah, still cant boot past grub :(
[11:53] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, back to the recovery kernel , run, modprobe nv, at the root prompt
[11:58] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: FATAL: module nv not found
[12:01] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, what's listed in jockey/additional drivers ?
[12:04] <aetoxx> Are bugs ever fixed based on number of votes?
[12:05] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: when I could get to it, only nvidia drivers
[12:07] <BluesKaj> aetoxx, I followed your example , but I had no problems withe the save dialog
[12:07] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi,  install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[12:08] <aetoxx> BluesKaj, it seems the bug has already been reported: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302295
[12:09] <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.
[12:12] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: grrr i cant install stuff :(
[12:13] <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
[12:14] <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
[12:15] <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
[12:17] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, well , you seem to be getting hung by a faulty xorg,conf ... if possible , wipe it out ..probly affecting your nvidia driver
[12:18] <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
[12:19] <BluesKaj> do you have a livecd available , nicekiwi ..I asked before
[12:20] <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
[12:23] <BluesKaj> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, nicekiwi
[12:24] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: cheers :)
[12:26] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, or , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , but I think this repairs an existing xorg.conf , and sets up a rudimentary file
[12:27] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: still dosnt boot properly on normal boot
[12:27] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, try a hard boot
[12:28] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: i have been
[12:29] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: damn it! its still using that VMware driver in recovery boot D: *RAGE*
[12:30] <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
[12:31] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: VMware is NOT installed
[12:31] <nicekiwi> I initially installed the OS inside VirtualBox, VMware was never used.
[12:38] <BluesKaj> there must be some config files left over from previous vmware install
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <BluesKaj> why the VB , is it necessary for work ?
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <nicekiwi> worked until now :/
[12:45] <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
[12:46] <nicekiwi> BluesKaj: why?
[12:47] <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...
[12:48] <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
[12:51] <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
[12:53] <BluesKaj> I use a large screen monitor (our plasma tv) so I have no need or experience with multiples
[12:55] <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
[12:57] <BluesKaj> nicekiwi, did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig or did you use the jockey to install the driver just now ?
[12:58] <OerHeks> nicekiwi, i never used nvidia drivers in Virtual Box, add guest additions and  "Enable 3d acceleration" is ticked under Settings -> Display
[12:59] <OerHeks> multiple screens might work if the host can use 2 screens.
[12:59] <phoenix_firebrd> hello everyone
[13:00] <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
[13:01] <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.
[13:02] <OerHeks> oke, have fun
[13:04] <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...
[13:05] <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 :)

[15:40] <Tygar> hi, is someone around who knows about sis graphics driver?
[15:45] <Lynoure> Tygar: I only know it exists and if I remember right, is old.
[15:45] <Lynoure> Tygar: so you might want to ask your actual question, someone might be able to help you.
[15:48] <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
[15:49] <Tygar> i tried "NoAccel" "1" at the xorg.conf, but that didn't help, now i'm looking for some advice
[15:50] <Tygar> und wenn jemand auf deutsch antworten könnte wäre ich extrem begeistert ^^'
[15:59] <Lynoure> Tygar: you could try  Option "DRI" "0"
[15:59] <Lynoure> Tygar: but I'm gone now, good luck
[16:22] <Tygar> Lynoure: didnt work too :/
[17:01] <c2tarun> hi, do anyone have any idea about httpfox?
[17:02] <BluesKaj> c2tarun, idea?... what's the issue ?
[17:02] <BluesKaj> c2tarun, idea?... what's the issue ?
[17:03] <c2tarun> BluesKaj: Please look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2019402 this is my thread
[17:04] <c2tarun> can you help me with this. little bit of hint or any tutorial will also do.
[17:06] <c2tarun> BluesKaj: ping, there?
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <c2tarun> yeah I am on a router but that username and password setting are for router protection.
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <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 ?
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <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.
[17:16] <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
[17:17] <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.
[17:18] <BluesKaj> yeah same here genii-around...iirc there used to be a small app that would would run when a browser was launched
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <c2tarun> BluesKaj: I dont think so.
[17:30] <genii-around> Back
[17:32] <BluesKaj> he left ...but it's hard to find an example on google that reflects his situation , genii-around
[17:47] <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?
[17:48] <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."
[17:49] <genii-around> giantpune: What sort of device is it?
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <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
[17:56] <genii-around> eHm
[17:57] <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
[17:58] <genii-around> giantpune: You're not using something like Eclipse and the ADB stuff?
[17:58] <giantpune> no
[17:59] <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?
[18:00] <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
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <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
[18:04] <genii-around> giantpune: Do you know what driver it is using ?
[18:04] <genii-around> !blacklist
[18:05] <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
[18:07] <genii-around> giantpune: cdc_ether seems to be a module but bot cdc_acm
[18:15] <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:"
[18:16] <genii-around> Apologies on lag, work is requiring me often right now
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <emniyet> slm bu ubuntu 12.4un yenisi ne zaman ckıcak_??
[18:19] <genii-around> giantpune: Yes, so cdc_ether is what it's using. So just use the bots !blacklist info to blacklist that driver
[18:22] <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?
[18:27] <genii-around> giantpune: Yes...sudo modprobe -r cdc_ether
[18:30] <giantpune> woot.  that seems to have fixed it.  thanks
[18:31] <genii-around> giantpune: You're welcome. Good luck with the debugging!
[18:33] <qw_> hello all
[18:33] <qw_> help me please
[18:33] <qw_> i would like install Skype from my PC
[18:33] <genii-around> !skype
[18:34] <qw_> first sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
[18:35] <qw_> and second sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
[18:35] <qw_> end ?
[18:37] <genii-around> qw_: echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-skype.list
[18:38] <genii-around> qw_: Then after a sudo apt-get update  should be available to install
[18:47] <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
[18:49] <genii-around> !info gimp > genii-around
[18:50] <bimmel> ut2k4 has a linux version? awesome?
[18:50] <bimmel> rly?
[18:52] <Aknot> yes
[18:52] <Aknot> so how do i give permission to it?
[18:54] <genii-around> Aknot: Is it owned by the user who is trying to run it?
[18:54] <Aknot> yes
[18:57] <Aknot> ?
[18:59] <genii-around> Aknot: I have not tried to run that before, just approaching the usual problems like wrong user or permissions, etc.
[19:00] <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 )
[19:01] <Aknot> in ubuntu it asked for password when i put "allow executing"
[19:01] <Aknot> here it just says no permission
[19:02] <genii-around> Aknot: From konsole if you put ls -l filename    ( where filename is the ut2k4 file ) what does it say?
[19:03] <Aknot> lrwxrwxrwx 1 username username 36 Jul  9 21:59 linux-installer.sh -> /media/UT2004_CD1/linux-installer.sh
[19:18] <genii-around> Aknot: since it's a symbolic link... what does ls -l  /media/UT2004_CD1/linux-installer.sh say?
[19:22] <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?
[19:24] <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.
[19:31] <Combatjuan> Hello.  I'm having kwin performance problems when: scrolling windows, changing window focus, changing virt desktop--basically anytime lots of painting is happening.
[19:32] <Combatjuan> I'm using the kubuntu proprietary nvidia driver with twinview.
[19:33] <Combatjuan> Even if I disable all desktop effects (except the kwin show FPS) these operations are still slow.
[19:33] <sekisushai> hello, i would like to write a bash script which open a terminal and execute some commands
[19:34] <sekisushai> like "konsole -e cd/my path"
[19:34] <sekisushai> it doesn't work of course, any help ?
[19:35] <Combatjuan> sekisushai: Try adding the --hold option to your konsole command.
[19:36] <sekisushai> Excellent ! thank mate :)
[19:36] <Combatjuan> No problem.  Have fun!
[19:37] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: i think i fixed the microblog issue
[19:37] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: are you there?
[19:51] <sekisushai> Combatjuan : it doesn't work at the end : konsole --hold cd mypath
[19:53] <Daskreech> Combatjuan: could you ask in #kwin
[19:55] <Jekyll> sekisushai: konsole is a terminal emulator, not shell. Try konsole --hold -e bash -c "cd some/path;....."
[19:56] <Combatjuan> Daskreech: Certainly.  Thank you.
[19:57] <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.
[20:08] <sekisushai> hum, the goal is to do a shortcut script to launch a bash program in a directory
[20:09] <sekisushai> so i need to have a terminal open
[20:09] <sekisushai> i would like to open a terminal in a directory using a command line
[20:16] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: are you there?
[20:17] <yofel_> yes, but busy, anyting I can answer in 2 minutes?
[20:17] <yofel_> *anything
[20:17] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: i have fixed the microblog bug
[20:18] <yofel_> \o/
[20:18] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: need some to test the patch
[20:18] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: also need someone to test a kmix patch
[20:18] <yofel_> ah, can't do that now -> wednesday
[20:18] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: ??
[20:19] <yofel_> If you want me to test it it'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow, sorry
[20:20] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: can the two patches if approved in 2 days , can it make it to kde 4.9 final?
[20:21] <yofel_> tagging for 4.9 final is the 25th, so I believe yes
[20:21] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: ok
[20:22] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: whats special about wednesday?
[20:23] <yofel_> nothing, except that's the first day this week when I don't have a test in scholl the day after...
[20:23] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel_: :)
[21:43] <amar> codeblocks doesn't work on kubuntu
[21:44] <amar> any help?
[21:46] <amar> yo guys
[22:17] <amar> "sudo make install" fails
[22:17] <amar> with two errors
[22:17] <amar> anyone knows possible reasons ?
[22:29] <BarkingFish> amar, without you paste up the errors somewhere, no.
[22:41] <skreech_> !pastebin | amar
[22:52] <Ephos> Alright guys.. I need to ask, since I've been using Kubuntu for a full week now without thinking about it -- but how is performance on Win7 x64 as a guest operating system in VirtualBox? Can I run all my Steam games?
[22:59] <Ephos> Guess there's only one way to find out
[23:05] <L3top> Depends on your resources Ephos.
[23:06] <L3top> I run XP32 in VB on a laptop, and it's lightning. Just a few seconds to boot.
