[00:20] <nstiurca> those 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 that
[00:20] <nstiurca> thanks for your help
[00:20] <BarkingFish> you're welcome.
[00:25] <Daskreech> nstiurca: I would guess that it might be something that is in KDM so maybe .cache ?
[03:32] <mr-rich> When is the point release due out?
[04:33] <rogskreech> how do I restart the keyboard?
[04:35] <rogskreech> My keyboard has quit responding
[04:35] <rogskreech> Lights don't flash
[04:37] <phiscribe> think you gotta restart x, is it battery powered?
[04:37] <theminer> whats up party peoples?
[04:37] <rogskreech> hi theminer
[04:37] <theminer> am hoping that I am the only currently logged on user that is +1300 feet underground
[04:39] <rogskreech> theminer: That's a selfish hope. Share the darkness
[04:40] <theminer> horrible
[04:41] <theminer> Does anyone here actually use muon?
[04:41] <theminer> I have just recently migrated one of my laptop systems over to kubuntu from FreeBSD
[04:41] <phiscribe> not i
[04:42] <rogskreech> theminer: I do
[04:42] <theminer> Are you pretty happy with it?
[04:42] <theminer> thus far I am much more comfortable with apt,...although I am missing portage
[04:43] <kubuntu> Hello
[04:43] <theminer> hola
[04:44] <mah454> I use Intel i915 VGA . How can enable desktop effect for this ?
[04:44] <theminer> desktop effect?
[04:45] <mah454> theminer: yes
[04:45] <mah454> some effect can not enabled ! sample (blur , windows wobby , ... )
[04:47] <theminer> are you getting an error when you try to enable?
[04:52] <Daskreech> theminer: Apt is better but no huge complaints about muon
[04:54] <theminer> ? where can I shuffle my playlist in Amarok?
[04:56] <andrewh192> hey, anyonehere have any experience with Transmission's web client?
[04:57] <theminer> nevermind,..found it
[04:57] <andrewh192> theminer: hey, do you have any experience with Transmission's web client?
[04:57] <theminer> nope
[04:57] <andrewh192> i found the channel for the program on here, but no one is sayin anything
[04:58] <theminer> bit torrents right?
[05:02] <Roey> hello, why when launching alien-arena do I get this:  ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/roey/.config/alien-arena/data1': Permission denied    ??
[05:03] <Roey> Daskreech:  hey there
[05:04] <theminer> Roey  rm-v ~/.config/alien-arena
[05:05] <theminer> then mkdir -p ~/.config/alien-arena
[05:05] <andrewh192> yeah
[05:05] <andrewh192> bit torrents
[05:05] <theminer> You need to remove the symlink and create a new folder
[05:05] <Daskreech> Roey: Hey :)
[05:05] <andrewh192> if both computers are connected through wifi to the same network
[05:05] <theminer> or you could add your user account to the games group
[05:05] <andrewh192> wouldn't there be a localhost type thing
[05:06] <andrewh192> instead of the outside ip address of each computer?
[05:06] <theminer> sudo gkpasswd -a "username" games  (no quotes)
[05:07] <theminer> So you are saying that you do not want to use the ip address given by the DNS server on the router?
[05:07] <Roey> theminer:  thanks
[05:07] <andrewh192> well, i am just saying that i am tryin to figure out how to view my transmission web client on a laptop
[05:08] <andrewh192> i am running transmission on my desktop
[05:08] <andrewh192> and 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 laptop
[05:08] <andrewh192> if that makes sense....
[05:08] <theminer> yeah I see what you are getting at
[05:09] <andrewh192> what would be the url to get to it
[05:09] <andrewh192> from my laptop
[05:09] <andrewh192> would i use a external ip address to get into it?
[05:09] <theminer> it should have an internal ip address
[05:09] <andrewh192> or just like "localhost":9091.......
[05:09] <andrewh192> "
[05:10] <theminer> it will be whatever address was given to your machine by your router
[05:10] <theminer> something like 192.168.1.4
[05:11] <andrewh192> ok
[05:11] <andrewh192> that makes sense
[05:12] <theminer> think something like /sbin/ifconfig $1 | grep "inet"addr"
[05:12] <theminer> should give you the internal address me thinks
[05:14] <theminer> ...anyways,...like I said,..don't have any experience with Transmission,..but I grasp the concept
[05:14]  * theminer thinks he may not be so smart
[06:05] <phiscribe> in dolphin hovering over about anyfile crashes dolphin, disabling the info panel seems to help, anyone know a fix?

[10:46] <Guest95544> Kubuntu, once again is deciding not to run a program it has run 10000000 times without ever having a problem before. Can anyone help?
[10:48] <Guest95544> Why is Kubuntu so problematic?
[10:48] <Guest95544> >< (bashes face into keyboard)
[10:48] <mime111111> hey ppl! i am using kubuntu 12, it is a good idea to install both packages, ubuntu-restricted and kubuntu-res?
[10:48] <mime111111> thnx ppl!!!
[10:49] <rork> Guest95544: someone might be able to help you if you share which program you're trying to run
[10:51] <Guest95544> Sure, thanks Rork! I'm trying to run the tor browser bundle. If run it many many times before without a problem, anyway; When I run the start-tor-browser script I get "vadalia exited abnormally. Exit Code:127" So I ran a debug and got...
[10:52] <Guest95544> "./start-tor-browser --debug

[10:53] <Guest95544> omg I feel so stupid
[10:54] <rork> !pastebin
[10:54] <rork> ;)
[10:54] <Guest95544> dude you are a good fellow, thank you for your patience...I'm going to hang out in this IRC until I learn how to use Kubuntu like a man!
[10:56] <Guest95544> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092982/
[10:59] <rork> mime111111: afaik these packages are similar, if you're using kubuntu install ing kubuntu-restricted-packages should be enough
[11:01] <mime111111> thnx rok; also i have a problem, now dragging into konsole, make the appeaarance of, u know, other paste options... but is more like a helpy than an issue
[11:01] <mime111111> THNX ROOOORK
[11:01] <rork> Guest95544:  does the file /home/jack/Documents/tor-browser_en-US/App/vidalia exist (note files/directories are case sensitive)? What are the access rights to this file?
[11:02] <mime111111> another problem is sound 5.1 cant select amarok as master, because makes a hang in the next change song...
[11:02] <mime111111> a hang in kmix
[11:04] <Guest95544> I extracted the tor bundle in the home folder, all of the directories are there...I assume it has the right permissions because it's in my home folder. I've always done it this way and it has always worked, this is a fresh install too :/
[11:05] <mydogsnameisrudy> mime111111: is this a freash install of 12.04?
[11:05] <mydogsnameisrudy> mime111111:  have you  run update and upgrade
[11:06] <rork> mime111111: not sure what you mean by you're konsole question, you can copy/paste stuff in console using the menubar, rightclick many or Ctrl-Shift-C/Ctrl-Shift-V Shortcuts; you can also drag-drop things into konsole but dragging from konsole seems not to be possible.
[11:08] <rork> Guest95544: in konsole, in the /home/jack/Documents/tor-browser_en-US/App directory, can you type `ls -l` (that's a lower case L) and pastebin the output here?
[11:08] <Guest95544> sure, one sec
[11:11] <Guest95544> http://paste.kde.org/517664/
[11:12] <Guest95544> !pastebinit
[11:13] <Guest95544> !passtbinit -b http://paste.kde.org/517664/
[11:13] <mime111111> hey rork, i mean from dolphin to konsole, it appears before droping it a little menu with, i think, paste as text, as object, and dont-know-wich one-more
[11:14] <Guest95544> !passtbinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093007/
[11:15] <mime111111> mydognameisrudy, i did it, but my aspire 5930 with ds 5.1 builted in, not ever is well implemented, all is freshly new, and downgrading kmix solves some problems, but makes others
[11:21] <rork> Guest95544: ok, file is there which makes it harder. Are you sure you've installed the right (32 or 64bit) version for your OS?
[11:23] <mime111111> ok, cya then ppl, thnx for help
[11:23] <Guest95544> Absolutley 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 sure
[11:24] <Guest95544> downloading "tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.2.37-1-dev-en-US.tar.gz"
[11:25] <Guest95544> Oh rork
[11:25] <Guest95544> I did notice something when trying to run Vidalia, non bundle version...I'm getting some permission issues
[11:25] <Guest95544> idk if that will help
[11:28] <Guest95544> I re-downloaded the 32bit and same thing. I definitely have the right package tho....>< argGG
[11:30] <delight> how can i uninstall grub from a partition ? I accidently installed grub on some partiton instead of the MBR now refit shows 2 boot entries (MBR + partion's grub-entry <<< only the MBR one is working)
[11:31] <delight> ^^^ its a macintl installation of precise
[11:32] <delight> i would like to get rid of the grub-entry in the partition
[11:34] <Guest95544> I swear...kubuntu pisses me off so bad...anyway I have to reboot for these updates. I'll back in here. Thanks anyway rork, I'm telling you bro I have the worst luck with linux...but thanks
[11:38] <Guest22017> Quick Reboot! Rork, when I try to run vadalia, I get "/var/run/tor is not woned by this user (jack, ) but by debian-tor (). Perhaps you are running tor as the wrong user?"
[11:39] <Guest22017> I'm having permission issues somewhere? I'm freaking clueless, this is a brand new install. Things shouldn't be messed up like this ><
[11:42] <rork> Guest22017: have you tried installing tor from the repositories now? I thought you were working in a local install
[11:43] <Guest22017> I always use the muon package manager, I was just seeing if I could get vidalia working with the non bundle package
[11:43] <Guest22017> Since I'm having problems with the bundle
[11:43] <Guest22017> So frustrating, it worked yesterday on the same dang OS
[11:44] <Guest22017> Should I reinstlal my **** OS again?!?
[11:45] <rork> Guest22017: 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)
[11:47] <Guest22017> The log just says that /var/run/tor is not owned by me, the admin
[11:47] <Guest22017> there is just root and Jack...I'm jack...How do I not own this I freaking installed it
[11:48] <Guest22017> The 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 instanity
[11:48] <Guest22017> insanity*
[11:48] <Guest22017> a+b=whatever linux decides it wants to do
[11:49] <Guest22017> errrrrr, before I get pissed and throw my laptop I'm going to reinstall OS and come back....I really appreciate your help. I just need to leave this before I start losing my cool
[11:50] <rork> ok, gl
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:52] <mydogsnameisrudy> morning BluesKaj
[12:55] <mr-rich> Good morning. When is the point release due out?
[12:57] <BluesKaj> 'morning mydogsnameisrudy
[15:18] <so> hi
[15:18] <so> e kelane ki korchis
[15:20] <so> hello......
[15:21] <so> someone say hello......
[15:21] <so> why no one is saying hello.....
[15:21] <so> sobai kothai gelo......
[15:45] <akis> hi all. could you please advise what depos (for my 10.04) do i have enable in my other software kpackagekit. i have already http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner and (source code). are they right? i have also ppa/eugenesan. help me please...
[15:49] <BluesKaj> akis, http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-kubuntu-10.04-p2
[16:11] <akis> i read it but i still have problems. This is the content of my source.list http://paste.kde.org/517766/
[16:19] <BluesKaj> akis, remove the # from lines 26 and 27 , then sudo apt-get-update;sudo apt-get upgrade ..also describe what problems you mean
[16:27] <Riddell> akis: you're on 10.04 which is lucid, you can't add 12.04 (precise) lines to sources.list, that'll mess things up
[16:33] <BluesKaj> Riddell, good catch, i didn't notice the precise debs
[16:34] <akis> i am trying to fix it. i added to other software of settings of kpackagekit the following deb http://paste.kde.org/517784/ and i removed precise. i tried to upgrade but i got http://paste.kde.org/517790/. there is still a mess.
[16:49] <BluesKaj> akis, what's messy about it?
[16:54] <BluesKaj> akis, you ran updates and upgrades with precise repos in your sources list and it tried to install kernels not matched for your OS version, Remove all text from your sources.list , and do this : http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[16:59] <akis> i found my old source.list file. is it ok for my 10.04? http://paste.kde.org/517820/
[17:03] <BluesKaj> akis, yes that's fine , but you might want to enable the lucid-backports repos by removing the # from the beginning of the deb
[17:04] <akis> how can i write to this file as it is write protected?
[17:05] <akis> i can modified it but it cannot be saved.
[17:05] <BluesKaj> alt+f2 kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list , that will give you root permissions when you give your password in the dialog
[17:10] <BluesKaj> akis, run sudo apt-get-update , after editing and saving the file
[17:13] <akis> update ok. i am running upgrade too.
[17:16] <akis> source.list is now: http://paste.kde.org/517826/. upgrad reported: http://paste.kde.org/517832/
[17:17] <BluesKaj> akis , run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:19] <akis> http://paste.kde.org/517838/
[17:20] <BluesKaj> akis, sudo apt-get -f install
[17:22] <akis> http://paste.kde.org/517844/
[17:26] <akis> why does this error appear. i have to mention that i encountered some error about the kernel every time the kpackagekit update the system.
[17:26] <BluesKaj> akis, alt+f2 . kdesudo dolphin /boot . Look for the imagefile , initrd.img-2.6.32-41-generic to see if it exists
[17:28] <akis> not 41, only up to 40!
[17:31] <BluesKaj> akis, that's fine ,open your package manager and make sure any precise debs in the repositories are disabled or removed
[17:32] <akis> although exist vmlinuz 41, vmcoreinfo 41, system.map 41, config 41. yep, i removed all precise.
[17:33] <akis> how can i paste a jpg?
[17:33] <BluesKaj> you haven't been able to update or upgrade due to that kernel waiting to be installed and blocking your changes
[17:33] <akis> what do i have to do to fix it?
[17:33] <BluesKaj> akis , can you update/upgrade now ?
[17:34] <BluesKaj> it should go away with the changes to the repos
[17:34] <akis> update its ok. upgrade reports the same error
[17:35] <BluesKaj> altho a reboot might have to be done
[17:35] <akis> so, do i proceed with a reboot?
[17:36] <BluesKaj> I would ..it might work , not real sure
[17:36] <akis> ok. i am going for a restart. i will be back in a couple of mins.
[17:41] <akis> i am back. still the same error after "upgrade"
[17:41] <andrewh192> hey, is there a room for thunderbird mail?
[17:43] <andrewh192> is there a way to sync my gmail contacts with my contacts on thunderbird?
[17:45] <akis> any idea Blueskj to fix the system?
[17:45] <andrewh192> going to be going to work, but i will leave this open, so if anyone has any ideas, let me know.. i tried to look on the website support section but couldn't come up with anything that helped me..
[17:49] <Kraligor> Hi, I've got a problem with KDE on Kubuntu as well as on Debian: I want to configure samba-share, so I installed  kdenetwork, kdenetwork-filshare and samba. But there's no samba-entry in the settings. Only the Dolphin-sambashare works, but I want to configure it and I remember that there used to be advanced configuration options in the system-settings. Screenshot: http://h9.abload.de/img/kubyizf8.png
[17:49] <BluesKaj> andrewh192, afaik gmail contacts are auto enabled in thunderbird once you setup the gmail acct in thunderbird , they should be listed in the addressbook in tools
[17:54] <akis> http://paste.kde.org/517868/
[17:54] <BluesKaj> akis , locate initrd.img-2.6.32-41-generic
[17:55] <BluesKaj> akis, or , locate linux-image-2.6.32-41-generic
[17:56] <akis> http://paste.kde.org/517874/
[17:58] <akis> http://paste.kde.org/517880/
[18:01] <BluesKaj> akis , also try this , sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[18:02] <kenro> Is there a gnutella on Kubuntu channel?
[18:03] <akis> still nothing! http://paste.kde.org/517892/ -:(
[18:04] <BluesKaj> kenro, nope , no file sharing here
[18:06] <kenro> BluesKaj: What? I can't trade files on this channel?  I believe that qualifies for 'noduh'. Actually, I'm justtrying to figure out this new interface.
[18:07] <akis> look here. i am afraid is a bug! http://markmail.org/message/ccs472eypipkzwos
[18:08] <BluesKaj> akis , I doubt whether removing those linux-image files in the dirs listed with locate will wor, but Ican't htink of anything else , altho you may want to ask in #ubuntu since a kernel and repos problem, someone there might have a fix for you
[18:09] <andrewh192> BluesKaj: afaik?
[18:09] <akis> thank you for your help and advices. i will refer to #ubuntu too.
[18:09] <BluesKaj> well kenro asking about gnutella omn a kubuntu support channel bound to get the same reaction from others , not just me
[18:10] <BluesKaj> andrewh192, sorry , afaik=as far as I know
[18:11] <andrewh192> ok
[18:11] <andrewh192> thanx
[18:11] <andrewh192> latez
[18:12] <kenro> BluesKaj: Well,you -do- realize not everything has its own seperate support channel...
[18:14] <BluesKaj> kenro do you have a kubuntu related support question ?
[18:16] <kenro> You mean,otherthan how it seems (k)ubuntu patches gnutella display in an indicypherable fashion?
[18:19] <BluesKaj> kenro  it's a gtk app , are you running it on kubuntu-dektop, if so look in system settings>apllication appearance>gtk aapperance
[18:26] <kenro> BluesKaj: And you think widgetsets are different enough to dsp;lace/hide search results window?
[18:28] <BluesKaj> kenro, I don't think anything , I'm telling you where to set your GTK app appearance settings
[18:28] <kenro> BluesKaj: Don't answerthat. :) Thanksanyway.
[18:29] <BluesKaj> that's all
[18:30] <Amelie> good afternoon
[18:31] <Amelie> I need help, my computer have Kubuntu Oneiric Ver. 11.1 connected to a Sony LCD TV via HDMI cable
[18:31] <Amelie> i updated the version and the resolution is recognized
[18:31] <Amelie> but all systems fonts are too tiny that are unreadable
[18:31] <Amelie> i tried changing resolution but it did not work, the system fonts remain the same
[18:32] <Amelie> can anyone help me to increase the DPI font size from the console? I don't know how to do this
[18:32] <Amelie> any help?
[18:34] <Amelie> :(
[18:34] <BluesKaj> Amelie, kmenu>comptuter>systemsettings>application appearance>fonts , set you fonts there , I also recommend anti-aliasing enabled ,and 120 dpi on force fonts
[18:35] <Amelie> blues, the problem is i can't access the menu on the graphic, is unreadable
[18:35] <Amelie> i only see icons
[18:35] <Amelie> the fonts are too tiny and I don't know the icons by memory
[18:36] <Amelie> i have to do this from root
[18:36] <Amelie> don't have any other way to do it
[18:37] <Amelie> i have a 32 inch lcd screen, and the fons are about 1/32 inch, they are impossible to read
[18:37] <kenro> BluesKaj:  Hopefully,not quite all. One more thing.  What'sthe proper channel for this question, anyway?
[18:39] <BluesKaj> Amelie, 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 need
[18:40] <BluesKaj> the fonts option is the 3rd one down
[18:41] <TheOneRing> is there a way to use wubi with kubuntu active nightlys?
[18:43] <BluesKaj> TheOneRing, if you want a real kubuntu install , wubi'smnot the way
[18:44] <TheLordOfTime> ^ that
[18:45] <cath_> hi
[18:46] <TheOneRing> BluesKaj: with the curent release wubi works perfectly
[18:47] <TheOneRing> and 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 better
[18:47] <TheOneRing> Im not interested in carying my keyboard with me to select the os in grub
[18:48] <BluesKaj> TheOneRing, ok , well  dunno about nightlies , their usually for alpha and beta releases
[18:49] <TheOneRing> hm ok I just tested it grub can be cotrolled by the volume buttons on my tablet
[18:49] <TheOneRing> so using grub would be possible
[18:50] <TheOneRing> Ill  try to install kubuntu active the normal way
[18:54] <BluesKaj> the well , happy kubuntu :)
[18:54] <BluesKaj> TheOneRing, ^

[19:21] <cath_> anyone know how to get the wifi recognized and working in Kubuntu?
[19:21] <lmfwmi> hi
[19:21] <Guest12474> i think the card needs flashing. the link light wont work
[19:22] <cath_> its not too helpful for a newbie
[19:22] <Guest12474> ive tried using hex files in windows but im not sure about ubuntu
[19:23] <cath_> why doesn't the installer at least get the internet connexion working - i can't connect a laptop by ethernet all the time
[19:23] <Guest12474> it sayas that wifi0 is an unknown interface
[19:23] <Guest12474> says
[19:23] <BluesKaj> Guest12474, what brand is dwl 650
[19:24] <cath_> my modem is recognized but not authorized
[19:24] <BluesKaj> Guest12474, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[19:25] <Guest12474> dlink
[19:25] <cath_> thanx Blue
[19:25] <BluesKaj> Guest12474, then,  sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[19:26] <cath_> it brings back unhappy memories of windows modem commands back in the 90s
[19:26] <BluesKaj> cath_, no that command was directed at guest
[19:26] <cath_> ok  so my wifi is still up the creek?
[19:26] <BluesKaj> cath_, but if it works :)
[19:26] <Guest12474> sudo iwlist wifi0 scan|grep -i essid
[19:26] <Guest12474> wifi0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[19:27] <Guest12474> not working
[19:28] <cath_> how do i find out my modem and download the necessary drivers?
[19:28] <cath_> wifi card, i mean
[19:28] <BluesKaj> have you configured network manager etc , i'm assuming you have , both Guest12474 and cath_
[19:28] <cath_> yup
[19:29] <cath_> it starts to config and  waits for authorization
[19:29] <Guest12474> it says unknown interface
[19:29] <cath_> which never  arrives$
[19:31] <cath_> i guess i just have to dig around on the net and find a solution. bugger linux
[19:31] <Guest12474> nothing happens
[19:32] <Guest12474> the light isnt flashing, which means it isnt wotking. it works in windows btw
[19:32] <cath_> nite   all
[19:32] <Guest12474> working
[19:33] <BluesKaj> Guest12474,  lspci in the terminal and look for mobile or wireless controller  ...we need to know the models /chips in oder to figure out which drivers are needed
[19:34] <BluesKaj> where's patience disappeared to these days ..it takes a while to expalin and type this stuff ...gawd
[19:34] <Guest12474> http://pastebin.com/Za1rQMh6
[19:34] <Guest12474> this is the output
[19:35] <Guest12474> the card uses a prism chip
[19:36] <BluesKaj> Guest12474, in the terminal , sudo modprobe b43
[19:38] <BluesKaj> then do do ifconfig , to see if the module is working
[19:38] <BluesKaj> just , ifconfig
[19:38] <phoenix_firebrd> hello everyone
[19:42] <BluesKaj> hey phoenix_firebrd
[19:42] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: hi
[19:44] <Guest12474> nope, its not listed
[19:45] <BluesKaj> what was the output of sudo modprobe b43 , that command loads the kernel source driver , if there's no output then driver should load

[21:07] <BluesKaj> looks like a positive result , shows wifi is managed
[21:07] <Guest12474> cool
[21:07] <Guest12474> so what next?
[21:09] <BluesKaj> look 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 found
[21:09] <Guest12474> its old
[21:09] <Guest12474> and definately a pcmicia
[21:10] <BluesKaj> yes , but the connection on your laptop is probly a USB
[21:11] <BluesKaj> there is no such thing as a pcmcia connector as far as I know
[21:12] <Guest12474> its the old typewith all the pins
[21:12] <Guest12474> about 80 of them
[21:13] <BluesKaj> oh ...gonna tough to find a workable driver
[21:14] <Guest12474> ok
[21:14] <Guest12474> do you think you can do it?
[21:18] <Guest12474> ok back soon
[21:19] <BluesKaj> ok 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-ng
[21:19] <Num83rGuy> I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and I can't get the buttons on it to work correctly.
[21:22] <Num83rGuy> It is a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch but the settings for it say it's a Bamboo Comic Medium.
[21:24] <Num83rGuy> touch 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.
[21:25] <Num83rGuy> And only one physical button on the pad works.
[21:26] <BluesKaj> sorry Num83rGuy , I have absolutely no experience with tablets
[21:26] <Num83rGuy> It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue it works on Windows
[21:27] <Num83rGuy> Ah so i should ask around later if I haven't found a solution by then.
[21:27] <Num83rGuy> Thanks.
[21:27] <Num83rGuy> I have been fighting with this for a while.
[21:28] <BluesKaj> perhaps #kde can help
[21:32] <phoenix_firebrd> Num83rGuy: hi
