janetcan someone help- me with a java and flash install for firefox ?05:03
DarthFrog!java | janet05:21
ubottujanet: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.05:21
DarthFrog!flash| janet05:21
ubottujanet: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also  !Restricted and !Gnash05:21
iharpHow do I tell my system where a shell script is? If I dropped the containing folder into ~/?05:58
iharpIt's an executable for android_SDK.05:59
DarthFrogIs that directory in your path?  The current directory isn't, by default, unless it has been explictly specified.  Use "echo $PATH" to see which directories are in your path and stick the executable in one of them.06:14
DarthFrogOr specify the path to the executable in the command.06:15

FezMiester(lastest kubuntu) every time I try and apply changes to Muon (for 4 days) I get the massage that anothe program is controling the package system.  I can't shut off that other program because I don't know what it is. It's driving me up the wall!  updates work fine! ... what should I do? ;z))09:35
Tm_T!aptlock | FezMiester09:36
ubottuFezMiester: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »09:36
FezMiesterOk TKs,  (yes front end apps have crashed.  terminal:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg -configure -a09:38
FezMiesteri'm going to paste in like that..09:38
FezMiesterI allso can not get OBm to create a database, that error is persistant, but that's a different matter in my mind..09:39
FezMiesterlib/dpkg/lock  does not exist ;z(09:41
FezMiesterbrand new machine 5 days old-09:42
FezMiesterfresh install09:42
FezMiesterwell that does show that OBM has a storage configuration problem in terminal ;z))09:53
FezMiesterthanks--09:53
FezMiestergood Muon got past the imdiate first hurtle.  - Now back to the OBM error 1045 (28000 user access denied at  'localhost' (using passsword: yes)09:59
FezMiesterthat makes it sound like a password issue. - maybe it doesn't like having the same password as the admin... fatal?09:59
FezMiesterso.. Do the passwords on OBM all have to b be uniqe of each other? em passY/N   or uniqe of all the other system passwords? Y/N..10:03
FezMiesterthat's all I can make out of the above error code I posted..10:04
Tm_TOBM?10:04
FezMiesterIf a package, (OBm) has dependency problems.. you've installed it. it failed, (storage never worked) and you market it for reinstall and it still says dependency problems. then the system isn't set up right.  roll back part of it.. or packages OBM needs haven't been updated to the curent distrobution level.. right? it's nnot like the pkg manager is failing to find them or install them correctly..........................10:16

FireCreepSeems I've messed up my Kubuntu desktop12:36
FireCreepit is an empty SNL, with two taskbars, of which the top one has the tray and Start menu and other such stuff, the bottom shows unsigned icons of running apps12:37
FireCreepThis is totally broken12:39
ArchangelSe7enjust delete one12:41
mime111111hi all, first of all, thanks. my question: rezising in konqueror with utube videos, doesnt make any result... any help? thnx12:42
FireCreepBut the top bar doesn't show windows at all12:43

Tm_TFireCreep: hi, "foo is crap, get bar" isn't helping, I'd love to see this channel serving its purpose as support channel (:12:47
Tm_Tmime111111: what you mean by resizing? what results?12:48
mime111111Tm_T!! in flash chats, utube videos, they dont resize but fonts do it correctly12:48
mime111111i mean zoom in zoom out12:49
FireCreepDon't need to zoom in, use "BIG" button on player's bottom bar12:49
FireCreepbesides, zooming in on SWF always makes it lag, no matter the OS12:49
Tm_Tmime111111: have you set it to zoom only the text?12:50
mime111111i dont know where to check this, its rarely modified as is new with ultimate flash and java12:51
faglnarHi, whats the best way to get files out of an unformatted partition? I Put an SD (that was used for kubuntu installer) in PC, deleted the pseudoiso but forgot to reformat it. The camera can read its files without problem12:51
BluesKajHi all12:51
mime111111hi12:51
faglnarhi12:51
FireCreepMove those files to camera's inner storage, ref the SD12:52
FireCreep>>.>>12:52
faglnarThe cam has no inner storage.12:55
mime111111Tm_T, i installed konqueror plugins, but is the same, it resize the video also, keeping it cutted by the not zoomed fonts...12:57
mime111111i cant believe that a rekonq or konqueror out of the box ok a new 12 pangolin dont be able to resize a video correctly13:03
jbwivguys, on kubuntu, the longer my system stays up, the slower kde gets. I've toggled desktop effects, but it is still very slow. Xorg is eating 99% of cpu. How does one track down why?13:14
mime111111FireCreep, installing chromium-browser, fits perfectly as a solution for my problem, than u man! thnx u also Tm!13:17

ubottubagsam: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience20:19
bagsamI freshly installed kubuntu and now my system will only boot with the usb stick inside...20:20
bagsamso.. how to fix this?20:20
bagsamI guess the bootloader is set to be on the usb so booting necessitates it to be plugged but how's the terminal command to re-set the bootloader?20:22
rorkbagsam: most likely you installed the grub (the bootloader) configuration on your usb stick indeed, you have to reinstall grub from your main system20:23
bagsamokay thanks, I googled the command and tried it with sda1 since this is the partition on my harddisk, supposed for the OS - now there's a warning about installing GRUB to partitions and the refusal to do so- why that?20:27

BarkingFishEvening guys - does anyone know if kFind searches everything on a disk, including hidden files and folders please?  I've got a problem. I have lost a set of images I recorded from a video game, almost 200 of them - I've not deleted them, but I can't find them at all. I'm sure I zipped them, but if I did, I don't know where the hell they are.22:43
tsimpsonBarkingFish: it searches in hidden directories by default, but doesn't show hidden files unless you choose that option22:47
BarkingFishah, ok22:47
BarkingFishIt's just being a pain in the neck. I want to search for all the archives on the disk, but I can only do it by extension, one type at a time. I can't find an entry in kfind to just search all archives22:48
phoenix_firebrdBarkingFish: what do you mean by archive?22:49
BarkingFishzip, gzip, tar.gz, tar.bz, bzip, etc - everything compressed22:50
tsimpsonBarkingFish: you can use comma as a separator, eg *.zip,*.tar.gz,*.etc22:50
BarkingFishtsimpson, i was using the second tab, the contents tab, and selecting by type22:51
BarkingFishbecause I want it to specifically search a whole disk, for an archive containing specific words, of any one of those types22:51
BarkingFishthis is getting deeper than I wanted :P22:51
tsimpsonBarkingFish: you can combine the options in each of the tabs to work together22:53
BarkingFishexcellent. I don't know how, but let's see if you can help me figure this out :)  I hate kfind, and I wish I had an alternative, but I don't :)22:54
tsimpsonyou just fill in the first tab, and then the second, etc. and it just works :)22:55
BarkingFishi need to find any and all files of a compressed nature (all archives basically) containing the words tsutomu or the prefix snh-beta, created between march 10th 2008 and now.22:55
BarkingFishso you can use all three tabs at the same time?22:55
BarkingFishheck, I didn't realise that22:55
tsimpsonyeah, it's not exactly obvious22:56
BarkingFishcan you use operators in the search?  like can I use tsutomu OR snh-beta (or the OR symbol, whatever it is) to find files containing either term?22:57
tsimpsonI don't think you can, the documentation (F1) says it can use RegEx, but that option doesn't show up23:01
BarkingFishah.23:01
BarkingFishand I'm crud at doing regex. I have enough trouble trying to write abusefilters on wikipedia, which are mostly all regex.23:01
tsimpsonmake sure you check the "Include binary files" option though, otherwise it will silently ignore non-text (or document-like) files23:01
