nstiurcathose of you that were trying to help me earlier, it looks like the problem was somewhere in .cache, .dbus, and/or .kde. Not sure which as I have lost interest in tracking down exactly what was happening. The only fallout really is having to redo all my KDE settings, but I can live with that00:20
nstiurcathanks for your help00:20
BarkingFishyou're welcome.00:20
Daskreechnstiurca: I would guess that it might be something that is in KDM so maybe .cache ?00:25

andrewh192if both computers are connected through wifi to the same network05:05
themineror you could add your user account to the games group05:05

andrewh192i am running transmission on my desktop05:08
andrewh192and have a laptop and would like to be able to be upstairs with my laptop and be able to add stuff to my cue with my laptop05:08
andrewh192if that makes sense....05:08
themineryeah I see what you are getting at05:08
andrewh192what would be the url to get to it05:09
andrewh192from my laptop05:09
andrewh192would i use a external ip address to get into it?05:09
theminerit should have an internal ip address05:09
andrewh192or just like "localhost":9091.......05:09
andrewh192"05:09
theminerit will be whatever address was given to your machine by your router05:10
theminersomething like 192.168.1.405:10
andrewh192ok05:11
andrewh192that makes sense05:11
theminerthink something like /sbin/ifconfig $1 | grep "inet"addr"05:12
theminershould give you the internal address me thinks05:12
theminer...anyways,...like I said,..don't have any experience with Transmission,..but I grasp the concept05:14

Guest95544Absolutley sure man! 100% I'll even re-download it, I swear the linux gods just hate me. I reinstalled kubuntu just an hour ago because I hosed the Gnupg and a bunch of packages got screwed. So I reinstalled and went straight for TOR and downloaded my usual package and I'm getting these errors...I will delete from the directory and redownload the 32bit and extract it again just to be sure11:23

Guest22017I'm having permission issues somewhere? I'm freaking clueless, this is a brand new install. Things shouldn't be messed up like this ><11:39
rorkGuest22017: have you tried installing tor from the repositories now? I thought you were working in a local install11:42
Guest22017I always use the muon package manager, I was just seeing if I could get vidalia working with the non bundle package11:43
Guest22017Since I'm having problems with the bundle11:43
Guest22017So frustrating, it worked yesterday on the same dang OS11:43
Guest22017Should I reinstlal my **** OS again?!?11:44
rorkGuest22017: I was thinking there might be a clue in the vidalia-debug-log (if the file is big you might want to delete it and restart tor)11:45
Guest22017The log just says that /var/run/tor is not owned by me, the admin11:47
Guest22017there is just root and Jack...I'm jack...How do I not own this I freaking installed it11:47
Guest22017The thing I can't stand about trouble shooting linux, is that I can follow the exact same steps I've used in the past to accomplish something and I can get different results...the definition of instanity11:48

akisi found my old source.list file. is it ok for my 10.04? http://paste.kde.org/517820/16:59

Ameliedon't have any other way to do it18:36
Ameliei have a 32 inch lcd screen, and the fons are about 1/32 inch, they are impossible to read18:37
kenroBluesKaj:  Hopefully,not quite all. One more thing.  What'sthe proper channel for this question, anyway?18:37
BluesKajAmelie, I use a 42" plasma and I'm 9f/3m away from it, so it is possible to fix, alt+F2 , kdesudo systemsettings , the 2nd from the left icon at the top is the one you need18:39
BluesKajthe fonts option is the 3rd one down18:40
TheOneRingis there a way to use wubi with kubuntu active nightlys?18:41
BluesKajTheOneRing, if you want a real kubuntu install , wubi'smnot the way18:43
TheLordOfTime^ that18:44
cath_hi18:45
TheOneRingBluesKaj: with the curent release wubi works perfectly18:46
TheOneRingand its for a tablet and I want to get dual boot and as long as grub doesnt support touch the windows 8 bootloader is much better18:47
TheOneRingIm not interested in carying my keyboard with me to select the os in grub18:47
BluesKajTheOneRing, ok , well  dunno about nightlies , their usually for alpha and beta releases18:48
TheOneRinghm ok I just tested it grub can be cotrolled by the volume buttons on my tablet18:49
TheOneRingso using grub would be possible18:49
TheOneRingIll  try to install kubuntu active the normal way18:50
BluesKajthe well , happy kubuntu :)18:54

BluesKajlooks like a positive result , shows wifi is managed21:07
Guest12474cool21:07
Guest12474so what next?21:07
BluesKajlook at the card is it a usb connection or not , we need to know , it also seems to be fairly old from the info i've found21:09
Guest12474its old21:09
Guest12474and definately a pcmicia21:09
BluesKajyes , but the connection on your laptop is probly a USB21:10
BluesKajthere is no such thing as a pcmcia connector as far as I know21:11
Guest12474its the old typewith all the pins21:12
Guest12474about 80 of them21:12
BluesKajoh ...gonna tough to find a workable driver21:13
Guest12474ok21:14
Guest12474do you think you can do it?21:14
Guest12474ok back soon21:18
BluesKajok we need to remove the previous prism app , sudo apt-get remove prism2-usb-firmware-installer ..it's for usb  , we need the linux-wlan-ng driver utlity instead , sudo apt-get install linux-wlan-ng21:19
Num83rGuyI have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and I can't get the buttons on it to work correctly.21:19
Num83rGuyIt is a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch but the settings for it say it's a Bamboo Comic Medium.21:22
Num83rGuytouch seems to work fine as does the pen but, the buttons are near impossible to configure and seem to be resetting to some kind of default after I change them.21:24
Num83rGuyAnd only one physical button on the pad works.21:25
BluesKajsorry Num83rGuy , I have absolutely no experience with tablets21:26
Num83rGuyIt doesn't seem to be a hardware issue it works on Windows21:26
Num83rGuyAh so i should ask around later if I haven't found a solution by then.21:27
Num83rGuyThanks.21:27
Num83rGuyI have been fighting with this for a while.21:27
BluesKajperhaps #kde can help21:28
