[05:39] Not much [05:39] Howare you doing? [05:39] pretty fine mate, thanks [05:40] this is my first IRC chat [05:40] ah well welcome :) [05:40] always syateed in yahoo and google chat, never tried this [05:40] if you have any questions please ask [05:40] thanks :D [05:41] errr, i am still getting the general idea [05:41] is this a room i am in? [05:41] sorry if i use yahoo terminologies [05:41] Yes [05:42] It's often called a Channel but sure it's basically a room :) === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [05:42] haha thanks :) [05:42] so how do i select a room/channel of my own choice? [05:43] you'd type /join and the room name [05:43] which should start with a # [05:43] like /join #kubuntu-offtopic [05:43] i see [05:44] isnt there a room list of some sort somewhere? [05:44] i have no ideaaaa of room names, this is the room whicch my client connected to by default [05:44] idea* [05:45] faiz: There is but this is one of the larger servers so they prefer if you don't get a list of the channels [05:45] it's maybe 25000 ? [05:45] oops [05:45] so too many for you to look through and a lot for them to serve upfor you to give up [05:45] perhaps I can help. What are you looking for? [05:46] i have no idea mate about whats on offer [05:46] just wanted to look around [05:46] thanks for the tip anyway :) [05:47] perhaps you can tell me one thing, the best client for irc chat in your opinion is........... [05:47] faiz: depends on your inclinations [05:48] I like konversation but your needs may be different from mine [05:48] i just have this quassel installed by default here [05:49] i was check8ing what this is and i landed here in the room :P [05:49] Quassel is nice it allows you to run a client server setup which can be pretty neat [05:49] checking* [05:49] if you like having a lot of scripts then X-chat is very good [05:49] if you want something super minimal then irssi is great [05:50] if you want something integrated with your other chat clients then Pidgin is a good candidate [05:50] ease of use is the one i am looking for [05:50] something which wouldnt need a martian to decode [05:51] quassel is not bad till now..will try konversation out [05:51] Well I like konversation It's a non complicated IRC client in my eyes [05:52] yeah, will give it a try [05:52] tell me mate, is the concept of adding friends popular in irc? [05:52] sure [05:52] Umm [05:52] Not really? [05:53] I mean you can kinda but esp in here it's sort of viewed as rude [05:53] i see.. thanks :) [05:53] its a one time stand then ? :P [05:55] No it's just a much larger group. [05:55] Some people have been here years [05:55] in the same room? [05:56] but more so this is a support channel so most people who blast through here just want to ask a question quickly and leave [05:56] Not really a "friend" [05:56] yes [05:56] You can be in thousands of rooms at the same time [05:56] across multiple servers [05:56] err....really!!

[06:13] http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html < < isn't GNU and Linux the same thing? [06:14] noot really [06:19] faiz, as Ubuntu is based on Debian, and Debian is GNU, is Ubuntu also GNU? [06:21] Guest56512: No [06:21] for your first question [06:22] Ubuntu is based on Debian [06:22] Debian is GNU [06:22] it doesn't follow that Ubuntu is GNU [06:22] actually I think Debian might not be GNU [06:24] Wikipedia says Debian is based on GNU [06:28] "Debian (play /ˈdɛbiən/) is a computer operating system composed of software packages released as free and open source software primarily under the GNU General Public License along with other free software licenses.[5] Debian GNU/Linux, which includes the GNU OS tools and Linux kernel,[6] is a popular and influential Linux distribution." Line copied from Wikipedia: Are they talking about two different OS? [06:28] Debian and Debian GNU/Linux? [06:33] * gnomefreak so confused. why did you ay Debian and Debian? are they not the same? [06:33] a/ay/say [06:34] I said, "Debian" and "Debian GNU/Linux" [06:35] that's what I am asking, are both the same? [06:35] ah ok [06:35] Guest56512: i dont think they are but i havent run Debian in maybe 5 or more years [06:38] Guest56512: Ok if you want a small history lesson I can explain that if you like [06:39] yeah, sure, go on === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [06:41] hey guys, I'm using the new kde 4.9 and when I try under system settings/display and monitor to add a new screen and I press apply nothing changes [06:42] So back when this whole "Free software" Movement started it was done as response to UNIX being very well designed but being cut apart and closed down by companies trying to control profit lines [06:42] disse: It doesnt detect the display? [06:42] it detects it [06:43] I am able to make my changes [06:43] but after applying nothing changes [06:43] Guest56512: So they started a movement to replicate the UNIX design without taking any of the actual code from UNIX so that they couldn't be called thieves or beholden to licenses from the companies. So they made GNU or GNU's Not UNIX [06:44] disse: Sohow are you able to make changes? [06:44] disse: You may need to log out and backin to get the changes seen [06:44] I can click the boxes and so on [06:44] I rebooted 3 times ... [06:44] I mean in different settings [06:44] nothing changed [06:45] Guest56512: The idea was to build over all the tools and libraries and kernel from older UNIXs [06:45] and the configuration set back to it's default [06:45] disse: Oh Hmm what are you trying to change? [06:45] oke, I have a hdmi-0 and a dvi-1 display [06:45] dvi-1 is disabled [06:46] I enabled it and made it to the right of the hdmi-0 [06:46] Then I applied it [06:46] went back to the overview [06:46] and now the funnies [06:46] When I click to the settings again [06:46] It is again deactivated [06:47] I applied the setting and saved it as standart [06:51] Daskreech, ?? [06:51] Guest56512: Ok back :) [06:51] Guest56512: They built most of the toold but couldn't get the kernel up and running (still haven't as a matterof fact) [06:52] disse: do you get both the monitors? [06:53] Guest56512: Along came linus and made a kernel that people could use. Except that a kernel by itself isn't very useful [06:53] no [06:53] I made a little video to demonstrate it [06:53] so people took the GNU tools that already existed and paired them wih the Linux Kernel and the both of them GNU and Linux became the basis of a lot of the work that you see [06:54] disse: Oh .. ok [06:54] Guest56512: So Debian is a GNU/Linux Distro. It puts together GNU tools and the LInux kernel to make something that people can use [06:55] Guest56512: But, for example, Android is a linux distro but it is not GNU since it uses none of those tools [06:55] In the same way PC-BSD is GNU because it ships with the GNU tools but it's not a LInux [06:57] oh.. thanks for the information... [06:57] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_IjywTSlaE&feature=youtu.be [06:57] not HD [06:57] but I think you can get what it should show [06:57] Guest56512: The GNU tools are most of the commands you are used to running. find, cd, ls, bash etc [06:58] so, what Ubuntu took from Debian.. when we say, Ubuntu is Debian based, what base are we talking about? [06:59] packaging system [06:59] disse: plan on making it not private? [06:59] kk [06:59] Guest56512: The scripts and packaging system [06:59] done [06:59] sry [07:00] usually it makes a good job of taking all thepackages as well but that's not always the case [07:00] and how folders are built [07:00] locations of the folders [07:01] ok, clear :) thanks [07:02] hi faiz [07:02] drat [07:02] :) [07:02] Guest56512: Sure [07:03] if you need any details of my display configurations, just ask :D [07:03] disse: identify outputs doesn't show up on the dvi-0 ? [07:03] dvi-1 is black [07:03] (that's the display you meant) [07:04] another funfact at this [07:04] oh sorry -1 [07:04] If I change it with the nvidia-settings-manager [07:04] noprob [07:04] the screen lights up and it works fine [07:04] oh well thats different [07:05] I am able to save it to the x conf file [07:05] if you are using the nvidia driver you use their manager [07:05] after reboot, you can imagine, it's back the same [07:05] which should work I think [07:05] The xorgconf file changes on reboot? [07:05] nope [07:05] it is the same [07:05] but not loaded? [07:05] I don't know [07:06] hmm [07:08] I'll try setting it by the nvidia-settings-manager and look through the logs [07:08] the real location is /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't it? [07:09] Would be great if I could remember how to make X read from a particular file [07:09] yes [07:13] next fact: On login screen both displays are working [07:13] after logging in, the right one is disabled and black [07:15] Ah so do you have anything in your ~/.xsession-errors ? [07:16] yes [07:16] any EE ? [07:17] http://nopaste.me/paste/483832362501e1dfc1b09b [07:17] what is an EE [07:18] [07:18] ERROR: Error parsing configuration file '/home/disse/.nvidia-settings-rc' [07:18] but I think that is my problem [07:19] is there a ~/.nvidia-settings-rc ? [07:20] yes [07:22] I think, I got it now [07:22] I executed the program as root [07:22] now trying to reboot [07:24] no... [07:25] disse: what's the permissions on the file? [07:26] -rw-rw-r-- 1 disse disse 1274 Aug 5 09:25 .nvidia-settings-rc [07:28] but the error from failing to read the file is away [07:28] :q! [07:28] sry [07:30] I'm now on the end... [07:30] I'll try more at evening, bye [07:32] Ok [07:32] nini === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] [08:41] hey everyone, is there a way to force kde to shut-down despite error messages about things crashing (usually kwin recently) [08:47] yes [08:47] hit ctrl alt f1 [08:47] log in [08:48] type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop [08:48] OttovonBismarck: [08:48] also log in as root [08:48] sudo -i [08:49] type the following "init 3" [08:49] if kdm stop fails [08:49] Well my problem is leaving the computer on and having ktorrent shut it off when it stops seeding [08:49] use vuze [08:49] ktorrent is in complete shambles [08:50] idk why its even included [08:50] ok, but the problem isn't in ktorrent [08:50] it initiates shutdown finer [08:50] it's that shutdown is stopped by crash messages [08:50] you can also make a script to call rckdm stop when anything finishes [08:51] sounds like you have more issues than just ktorrent then [08:51] update to kde 4.9 [08:51] ? [08:51] so i need to write a script to shut down my computer [08:51] no [08:51] I am saying you can [08:51] yeah i just did, hopefully that improves things [08:52] http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15380.html [08:52] 4.9 is pretty special [08:52] I like it [08:52] ive only had issues with reinstalling muon [08:52] but having crash notifications permanently stop a requested shutdown seems wrong [08:52] for some reason it completely removed muon on me [08:53] and no obvious way to change that behaviour [08:53] haha the apply:ok bug for wallpapers still exists [08:54] installing 4.9 reset my themes too [08:54] which pissed me off [08:54] 4.8 themes dont upgrade with it so I had to reinstall them [08:54] other than that though its faster and smoother [08:55] hopefully stuff crashes less when it's trying to shutdown [08:55] ive had a crash with rekonq [08:55] seems a little off [08:55] or they have a sane limit on how long crash dialogues can delay a shutdown [08:56] ie: not forever [08:56] right [08:56] as in give it 15 seconds then force it [08:56] I dont generally have issues with KDE [08:56] or a minute, seems like a rational behaviour [08:56] people talk of crashes [08:57] idk what people are doing [08:57] things only crash when i'm shutting it down [08:57] off topic thought, im trying to remember an ex's last name to look her up and its pissing me off [08:57] Why is ktorrent a mess btw? [08:57] Kate [08:57] magnet links are borked [08:58] heh her name happens to be katie [08:58] for the life of me I cant remember her last name [08:58] they work for me, be it slowly [08:58] havent thought of her in years [08:58] try vuze [08:58] vuze is wonderful [08:58] qtbittorrent worked ok for me in the past [08:58] right [08:59] there are a lot of them [08:59] there are even special magnet plugins for firefox [08:59] basically uses firefox downloader to download without uploading jack shit for magnet links [08:59] rude [09:00] not really some people dont have an upload speed thats acceptable [09:00] any upload is acceptable [09:00] like me I have a 5mb dl but my ul speed is like 200k [09:01] basically thats 2k/s irl speed upload [09:01] esp whenyou leave your computer on when you're not on it to torrent under the assumption that it will turn off with no user interaction [09:01] I only use torrent to get legal crap with tons of seeders anyway [09:05] OttovonBismarck: wanna try some fun shit, compile bespin [09:05] bespin is awesome === tonyr is now known as unixpro1970 === unixpro1970 is now known as tonyr === Sigma is now known as Guest90512 [09:43] Good morning [09:46] lordievader: morning:) [09:46] Hey gani, how are you?

[12:49] I just installed Kubuntu 12.04, the installation carried-on well, I can get to the login screen [12:50] but once logged in I can't really do anything [12:50] the system just... idk [12:50] hang [12:50] darkmillian: A black screen? [12:50] I can see everything [12:50] I can click the K icon, once [12:51] after that every click on random location would turn the menu on [12:51] even right-clicking [12:52] This isn't my first time using Kubuntu but this problem is just.... wierd... [12:52] darkmillian: Did the live-cd work correctly? [12:52] yes [12:52] Live-USB actually [12:52] I'm using x64 btw [12:53] darkmillian: Hmm, not sure if it is possible with a usb but on the cd you can check for defects, perhaps something got corrupted on the usb which causes this. [12:54] reboot~ [12:54] darkmillian: Anyhow perhaps it is an option to burn Kubuntu to a cd and reinstall through the cd. === licensed_ is now known as licensed [12:55] * BluesKaj thinks this optional USB install procedure is premature ...too many problems with it ...it's constant problem with ubuntu , now it's transferring to kubuntu [13:00] No defect found. === kubuntu is now known as Guest26876 === Guest26876 is now known as darkmillian [13:01] Just rebooted to check for defects, now i'm in live-usb, everything is fine [13:01] darkmillian: Anyhow perhaps it is an option to burn Kubuntu to a cd and reinstall through the cd. [13:02] Mmmm.... [13:06] lordievader_, I think the usb install procedure itself is flawed , there just so many problems with it recognizing hw etc [13:07] BluesKaj: Could be, never trusted it, usually have a rewritable disc laying around and they usually work, so why not use it?

[18:14] don't know why it was disabled.. grrr [18:14] well i was kinda wanting to do it without changing/asking for his password. [18:14] oneadvent: sudo su -c "kcmshell4 screensaver" ? [18:15] yea i tried that and came up with couldn't connect to x server [18:15] lemme try again, i didn't use su [18:15] Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keykcmshell4: cannot connect to X server :1 [18:16] that is the result of that command [18:17] Guest6o241: you read through https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apturl/+bug/476853 I take it? [18:17] Launchpad bug 476853 in apturl (Ubuntu) "apturl doesn't work with Firefox" [Undecided,Fix released] [18:17] ah well I suppose set the XDisplay for them and export the value ? [18:18] oneadvent: Run "export DISPLAY=:0" and then try Daskreech command again. [18:18] lordievader: That's not going to work [18:18] trying now lordievader [18:18] Hm... [18:18] oh wont work? [18:19] For ssh stuff it would always, but that would be the same user. [18:19] maybe that loaded it up on his profile cause i dont see it but it isn't erroring out [18:21] the problem is that he doesn't have anything set so the monitor never goes off...maybe i should change that in universal power instead? [18:22] Bah [18:22] My network sucks [18:22] whats the last thing I said? [18:22] skreech_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:22] Quiet you === steve___ is now known as Guest55628 === nathanael is now known as natschil [18:46] Hi all. Running 3.2.0-27-generic #43-Ubuntu .. booting from usb 3.0 connected harddisk: My system always freezes after a random amount time, at which point / is unmounted because connection with the USB device is lost. What gives? [18:46] I've had this problem for six months now, and no kernel updates seem to fix the problem [18:47] Dis- and reconnecting the harddrive causes the kernel to "see" it again, but by then / is umounted and it's too late, obviously. [18:47] kernel options acpi=force and irqpoll do not help. [18:48] Installing a bleeding edge development kernel does not help. [18:48] loc what about noacpi ? [18:48] locsmif,^ [18:48] BluesKaj: I could try that [18:48] Can't check if it works until I leave the system on for a long while again ;-) [18:48] Will try [18:50] locsmif, you are talking about a normal boot here right , not using the usb to boot into the OS ? [18:53] My taskbar has a lot of blank space on it between the window buttons. They appear to be placed on a grid, but the grid is mostly empty, so the buttons are a lot smaller than they need to be. They are also placed pseudo-randomly. On my current desktop there are 3 windows, but the taskbar is split into an invisible 2x8 grid and the 3 buttons are in non-contiguous locations. Other desktops are worse. [18:56] example: http://i.imgur.com/CRRWB.png [18:57] Have you checked the taskbar's properties? [18:58] BluesKaj: actually I am using the usb to boot into the OS [18:58] < locsmif> Hi all. Running 3.2.0-27-generic #43-Ubuntu .. booting from usb 3.0 connected harddisk: [18:58] sparr, right click in the taskbar , choose task manager settings [18:59] Galvatron: properties or settings? [18:59] BluesKaj: ok [18:59] It's clearly set into a multi-row mode. [19:00] Find an option to set the number of rows and you're home [19:00] Maximum Rows is set to 2 [19:00] looks more like a graphics glitch than a setting [19:00] the buttons really are where they appear to be [19:01] as I open and close windows, they tend to get farther apart [19:01] new rows, more blank spaces [19:01] sparr, also if you click on the cashew icon the right end of the panel then try dragging the panel to either the top or bottom [19:01] locsmif, can you boot into the OS without the the usb ? [19:02] BluesKaj: dragging the task manager left or right inside the panel, or dragging the panel to the top of the screen, does not change the layout of the buttons within the task manager [19:03] sparr: Try the icon-only task manager [19:04] sparr. nvm , that's not what I meant , but I see now what you did to display the panel [19:04] Which is combination of the Win7 suuperbar and Unity launcher. [19:06] Galvatron: I like WinXP-style taskbars [19:07] sparr, , you might need to change your theme in system settings > workspace appearance > desktop theme in order to change the buttons size and appearance [19:08] BluesKaj: switching desktop themes does not cause the buttons to rearrange other than because the task manager gets a little wider or narrow [19:08] er [19:08] the gaps remain [19:09] well then you have an anomoly nthere , because theme changes work here [19:10] I seem to remember having this taskmanager problem on a laptop a couple of years back. Had something to do with the desktop effects settings and the ATI/AMD driver I was using. I believe disabling desktop effects fixed the problem until a newer driver fixed the problem [19:10] I have desktop effects entirely disabled. I don't like them. [19:11] Mine are minimal, just to provide a good multitasking (Present Windows, Desktop Grid). [19:12] Window thimbnails [19:12] * BluesKaj shrugs , then you're stuck with it I guess , unless you follow the advice you got in #kde [19:12] sparr,^ [19:17] sparr: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123839 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277010 [19:18] KDE bug 277010 in widget-taskbar "Taskbar displays empty entries (spaces/gaps) for closed windows, resulting in two or multiple rows (Read comment #49)" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] [19:20] sparr, this my desktop with desktop effects enabled http://imagebin.org/223414, you may need to resize , ctrl - to make it fit on a normal pc monitor [19:21] not sure what you're trying to show me there [19:21] SIR_Taco: thanks, I didn't find that one. guess I'll report the bug is still extant [19:23] sparr , enabling desktop effects should help fix your problem [19:26] BluesKaj: not really, I'd have to open up this computer and void the warranty; it's not my PC and I'm booting from USB when I'm here for exactly that reason :) [19:26] No eSATA connector either, afaik === Tm_K is now known as Tm_T [19:30] locsmif, ok understood ..is it sluggish as well ? [19:34] esata to sata would be faster locsmif , but then you'd have to install an interface card or run the cable thru a backpanel slot to the sata connection on the mobo , which I have done for my external drive . Opening the case to add a card or interface voids the warranty ? [19:34] sluggish? no, it works fine, you are looking at it working right now, plenty fast, too [19:34] BluesKaj: yup [19:34] Would void the warranty [19:34] usb 3.0 helps [19:34] I have USB 3.0 [19:34] < locsmif> Hi all. Running 3.2.0-27-generic #43-Ubuntu .. booting from usb 3.0 connected harddisk: [19:34] speed that is [19:35] The HDD is USB 3.0 compatible [19:35] The USB slot is USB 3.0 too [19:35] Hence, I should have (in theory) USB 3.0 speeds [19:35] yes [19:36] But as soon as / drops off, obviously I can't run anything but Bash builtins or press reset [19:37] I've seen bug reports and discussion at Ubuntu forums but it seems as if this is just ignored, while I would call it a critical bug [19:42] so you didn't install grub in order to preserve the windows mbr , thus saving the warranty , correct , locsmif ? === len is now known as Guest23436 === moji_ is now known as moji [20:42] when people will fix this annoying bug that you need hold the window for at least 2 seconds before start move it? [20:43] haven't notices anything like this [21:26] kwin has a bug related to some title window decorations that you need hold the title bar by at least 2 seconds before start to move it, can somebody here test the title bar decoration air-black? this one produces the bug [21:34] may i remind that i have cancer and the pain you put me through can not compare [21:34] !ops [21:34] Help!
