[01:19] Chaser: doesn't occur on any of my machines, guessing it's a video driver interaction thing..have a look on bugzilla and if you can't see anything similar feel free to create a new report === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [04:22] damn, its always somethin with this os isnt it?

[07:07] That is a first that Windows keeps working XD [07:11] That computer also has SliTaz linux on it, Winblows is just for modding and those things microxp can't do === Rajesh is now known as Guest75996 === kubuntu is now known as Guest33725 === yofel_ is now known as yofel [10:22] hey, anyone know why my systray clock displays UTC? i actually wana see CET..

[10:26] when i go to settings it shows the CET [10:30] solved it. thx anyway === black0ut is now known as poo === poo is now known as black0ut === leon is now known as Guest79270 [11:32] Howdy all [11:37] hi, if I've standard backport repositories, but not ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports, will kde 4.9 come to 12.04 sooner or later or it will stay on 4.8.x? [11:39] markit, it will stay on 4.8 afaik until your version upgrades to a new kernel [11:44] markit, adding the backport won't hurt your system , actually it will help upgrade it ..4.9 runs very smoothly here [11:57] hello from China [12:03] phil__: hi [12:03] hi [12:11] BluesKaj: I've a LTSP installation for school... I'm tempted by 4.9, but wondering if works fine and, if in the future will come 4.10, it will work fine too [12:12] I've customized kde a little, so I have to re-test (i.e. disable akonadi since eats too resources and no students use it) === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest53650 [12:15] markit, your akonadi settings will be retained in 4.0 , I also have it disabled and it remained so after upgrading to kde 4.9 [12:15] 4.0=4.9 [12:16] BluesKaj: good, because with kubuntu 11.10 I had a lot of messages complaining about this disable (worked fine in 11.04) [12:22] markit, you can make the akonadi disable setting, more permanent by unchecking it in systemsettings>stsrtup&shutdown>service manager , then adding to the textbox in session management , "applications to be excluded from sessions" , then checking the "restore previous sessions" box. [12:28] markit, like so , http://imagebin.org/224046 [12:30] markit, or here , (smaller image) http://wstaw.org/m/2012/08/10/snapshot2.png [12:31] BluesKaj: mmm I went to the specific option in the configuation panel and disabled from there [12:32] desktop search and disabled nepomuk (urgh, I said akonadi!) [12:32] well , that's your choice , but i did both to make sure , markit [12:32] BluesKaj: thanks for the tip, I will experiment a little [12:33] nepomuk and akonadi are linked I'm afraid [12:33] yes, I think so. Btw I changed akonadi backend from mysql to sqlite [12:33] with mysql each student account had 120MB of wasted space in their home [12:33] (multiply for 300+ students...) [12:34] well, i don't bother with sql settings since I don't use the server anyway === jtheuer__ is now known as jtheuer [12:34] BluesKaj: but the file is created anyway [12:36] I would love to disable activities globally anyway... students don't use them and they mess them up instead [12:36] also I miss A LOT the firefox-kde package [12:36] without it firefox is a mess to use for illeterate IT students [12:37] (average people, anyway) [12:39] markit, where is the mysql file located ? [12:40] I install akonadi-backend-sqlite first [12:40] then I remove .local/share/akonadi [12:40] and edit .config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc [12:40] are kde 4.9 stable to upgrade kubuntu from ppa backport ? [12:40] (I edit a global file instead, but should be ok that file for your account) [12:41] in [General] I put Driver=QSQLITE3 [12:42] BluesKaj: try du -csh .local/share/akonadi [12:43] maybe 4.9 has sqlite3 again by default, I remember something about it but I could be wrong, and I dubt it will change already present settings [12:43] (should create a new account and try) [12:44] aguitel: BluesKaj says he is using it and works, I'm trying right now in a LTSP installation, I've done in a laptop and works fine so far [12:44] markit, no such file ".local/share/akonadi" , i couldn't find it in ~/ either [12:44] but I assume no responsabilities ;P [12:45] BluesKaj: is a directory... drwxr-xr-x 2 marco marco 4096 ago 10 10:44 .local/share/akonadi [12:45] aguitel, yes 4.9 is fine for home use [12:46] (and of course under your home) [12:46] markit, it's not under my home dir === leon is now known as Guest81291 [12:46] markit, BluesKaj thanks [12:46] i don't have the database enabled in akonadi [12:47] BluesKaj: how can you disable? and as far as I know is created when you log the first time with an user, so your main user should have since installation [12:47] but if is not there, there is no problem :) [12:49] markit, just make sure mysql internalcserver isn't checked in akonadi server configuration [12:50] mysql internal server , rather [12:53] BluesKaj: I'm surprised everyithing works fine for you without akonadi... I thought KDE was depending more and more on it [12:53] goin to a "Vista experience" where everything trashes "just to help the user anticipating their needs" [12:54] Can someone point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot why Banshee continues to lock up shortly after it is started. [12:55] markit, yes , if you use the PIM , then akonadi has some requirements , but i don't use kmail or kontact and one can remove them safely without taking the kubuntu desktop with it === mck182 is now known as mck182|afk === nathanael is now known as natschil [13:26] Hi. Can someone help me? When I try to install the package "kdeartwork-theme-window" it fails saying that it depends on a nonexistent package "libkdecorations4abi1". [13:27] I'm using KDE 4.8.5 [13:29] nonexistent or available from another source , t2zhu ? [13:31] The package *does* exist, but only in the Beta and Backports versions of the Kubuntu repository [13:33] t2zhu, then you may be required to upgrade your kde version to use that theme [13:35] I do have a package called "libkdecorations4", though... [13:36] By the way, how do you reply on IRC? [13:37] how do you mean ? [13:40] It seems to me that I shouldn't have to install kubuntu-backports just so I can install a package that lives on kubuntu-updates === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [13:42] t2zhu, what do you mean by "how do you reply on IRC?" [13:44] Oh... as in... how do you make your reply to me highlighted? [13:44] to reply personally , type the first few letters of the persons nick and complete it by using the tab key [13:46] depends on the irc client , where highlight own nick with colour options is located [13:46] BluesKaj: Ah... thanks [13:46] it's obviously enabled by default in quassel [13:47] BluesKaj: But this isn't a private message, right? Everyone can still see? [13:49] Why ist it, that Kubuntu Uses the lower DVI port as primary display and windows the upper port? [13:49] yes it's in the chat test , pm-ing is discouraged as a support method , t2zhu [13:49] Its really annoying! [13:51] BluesKaj: So back to my question, do I really have to install kubuntu-backports so that I can install kdeartwork-theme-window in the kubuntu updates package? [13:51] faglnar, can you set them in the display & monitor settings or in your graphics card GUI [13:52] BluesKaj: Yes I can set them, but only per user. How can I set it that the entire system uses the big monitor by default as primary screen in its native resolution? [13:53] t2zhu, dunno for sure , you might find the theme in www.kde-look.org [13:53] Also the per user setting is not saved between reboots [13:56] faglnar, in system settings>startup&shutdown>session management , make sure "restore previous settings " is checked ..also make sure your chosen settings in monitor and display are "set as default" [13:56] faglnar: are you using nvidia and the proprietary driver? [13:57] ati oss driver [13:57] * hateball slowly backs away [13:57] faglnar, oss is audio [13:58] i mean the open source one not oss audio system [13:58] lol [13:59] faglnar, glxinfo | grep OpenG [13:59] faglnar, glxinfo | grep OpenGL [14:00] what's the version string , faglnar [14:00] OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CYPRESS OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.2 [14:00] OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 [14:01] (i tried to pipe the grep to pastebinit but it wont work) [14:04] does ati use the mesa driver as default , like nouveau is with nvidia ..seems so ..fag have you you checked for additional drivers in kmenu>apps>system? [14:04] btw in systemsettings>startup&shutdown>sessionmanagement is no restore settings, only restore session, but i dont want previously open programs to be reopened on login [14:05] yes it has the fglrx or the fglrx-updates drivers [14:05] restore session assumes you close apps before logging out [14:05] install the fglrx driver [14:05] no [14:05] why not ? [14:06] it will make my system crash every hour [14:06] when installed everything feels unstable, lots of stuff crashes and vmware instacrashes the entire system [14:07] its definitely not usabla [14:07] fag have you updated/upgraded the system since , it might be more stable now , if you haven't [14:08] faglnar,^ [14:08] i do regular updates and the last time i tried it was 2 weeks ago [14:08] same shit as usual [14:12] My xrandr not detect the second monitor. [14:12] nice language , faglnar ...it's not necessary here [14:13] okay wont use that further [14:17] starlook, never used xrander , have you tried opngl instead ? [14:18] opengl rather [14:20] er xrender [14:25] hi all [14:25] what app is that: http://i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/picture/whatisthat.png ?

[17:46] you do run as admin with sudo [17:46] oh, i did that, but thats when i get that error. [17:46] does Kubunut use zypper ?

[20:17] i am not sure, post the screenshot with the error, or use ubuntu.paste.com for text only [20:18] I'll send you a screenshot in private ok?

[20:20] a game. If i make it work i can completly migrate for linux. But i need something to entretain myself.. [20:20] I can make it run with wine, but it glitches a little bit sometimes. [20:20] and it is linux compatible so, why not runing it well? [20:24] evening all - need a little help. I'm in Firefox right now, and I have got mailto: links on a page I use. If I click them, nada happens. Is there any way to config the system on what progs should open what types of links? [20:30] OerHeks: I shared the screenshot, how can i post it here? [20:31] renato, are you on the page with the screenshot now? if so, just copy the url from the address bar, and paste it here :) [20:32] Ohhhh, nvm.. i thought i needed to share it on the IRC client.. nvm, stupid me. I'll post it on imageshake or something like that and post it here [20:33] BarkingFish: What do you want it to open when you hit a mailto: link?

[20:39] Thanks :) [20:40] And renato - I can barely just see the error, and my portuguese isn't brilliant, but from what I understand, Adobe Air isn't letting you install because apparently that feature is locked out by an administrator... right? [20:40] imageshack.us isn't letting me zoom in on the pic :( [20:40] Thats right Barking [20:40] and i don't know how to fix it :( [20:41] This is my computer, shouldn't i be the administrator? How can i fix it? [20:42] I tryed to sudo it. I just can't go through it :( [20:44] genii-around, how do I add that second line you mentioned into my config - the network.protocol-handler.app.mailto is not in my config [20:45] BarkingFish: right-click on browser screen... select New...String [20:45] ok :) [20:46] right, 'tis done. I will test that now :) [20:46] BarkingFish: You don't know how to fix my issue? [20:46] normally, renato - I would have done that by simply logging into the whole desktop as root, and doing it there. [20:47] BarkingFish: and how can i do that? :x [20:47] Unfortunately, being a signatory to ubuntu's code of conduct means I have to abide by their rules, so I'm not allowed to aid or assist a user in setting up a root account, root password, or teaching them how to do so. [20:47] BarkingFish: Is by doing sudo su? Becouse i tryed that too but its not working [20:47] I'd be for the high jump :( [20:48] i am having an audio issue with kubuntu 12.04 LTS, even if i mute the audio, it still is not actually mute. Only the icon shows its mute. [20:48] renato: Have you tried with kdesudo instead? [20:48] anyone with same issue? [20:48] BarkingFish: So... i won't have this issue solved, right? [20:48] I certainly can't help you or tell you how to do it - if you want to google and read how to do it, I can't stop you there :) [20:48] genii-around: kdesudo? i don't think so. [20:48] genii-around: its just that? kdesudo ./? [20:49] renato: Yes, instead of sudo [20:49] but anything you do in a root account is pretty lethal to your machine, it won't question anything you do - so if you do it, on your own head be it :) [20:49] * genii-around makes sure BarkingFish gets a cookie for being good [20:49] genii-around: it didn't work doing kdesudo :/ [20:49] BarkingFish: don't worry, i don't even know how to do it, so i won't.. [20:50] very wise. [20:50] I guess i won't this problem solved :( [20:50] guys can anyone help me with audio problem on kubuntu? [20:50] "He who plays around in root, is likely to kill tree" [20:50] devuberoi, be patient - we will be with you shortly. [20:50] renato: OMHO, better stay away from proprietary programs as much as you can [20:50] work, afk [20:50] markit: how so? [20:50] BarkingFish: sorry, and thanks :) [20:51] bbfn genii-around - and thanks for the help :) [20:51] renato: don't install adobe air :) [20:51] and np, devuberoi [20:51] BarkingFish: So, there's nothing i can do to solve it, right? [20:51] markit: but i need it to run something i want.. [20:51] renato, I didn't say that. I said you can learn how to do what I mentioned, but I can't teach you :) [20:51] renato: use windows then, don't poison your Free os [20:52] markit: the program i'm trying to run, was developed for linux, it just needs adobe air to run. [20:52] ok - devuberoi - thank you for hanging on there. May I start by asking what sound card you have in your machine please? [20:52] BarkingFish: In other words, no ,you won't have your problem solved. [20:53] interpret it how you wish, renato - I'm physically forbidden from teaching you the way I would have fixed it. [20:53] BarkingFish: I googled this problem and there are people who installed it. But nothing works for me. [20:53] BarkingFish: i don't know, how do i check? a bit of noob here... it says Redwood HDMI Audio [20:53] that's good enough for me, devuberoi :) [20:53] renato: if depends upon proprietary software, and needs proprietary software, you are installing then proprietary software... don't understand how things are different just because is needed by "a program for linux". [20:54] if so the developer was very silly, or is a proprietary program for linux itself [20:54] Can you press ALT + F2, and type konsole please, devuberoi? [20:54] in any case, proprietary program = unknown code an behaviour = a trojan in any case [20:54] on it BarkingFish [20:54] don't sell your freedom for convenience ;P [20:55] on the terminal BarkingFish :) [20:55] markit: well, you don't use adobe flash to play your videos on youtube? [20:55] renato: no, I use gnash [20:55] markit: and yet, you didn't "sell your freedom" [20:55] and if something does not work, is your problem [20:55] devuberoi, when you have konsole open, can you type: lspci please, and look for the audio or sound card in the listing which appears. On that line will be an 8 digit code, seperated into 2 blocks of 4 by a : - can you type it here for me please? [20:56] markit: If you don't want to help, i don't even know why you gave your oppinion in the first place. But whatever.. [20:56] (you = content provider) [20:56] it's the device ident code, first 4 digits are the maker/vendor, second 4 tell you which product it actually is [20:56] Thanks anyway Barking [20:56] np [20:56] renato: to save you from doing damage :) [20:58] BarkingFish: no 8-digit code appears. it lists 2 audio devices though, one is Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) [20:58] and the other is Radeon HD 5000 series [20:59] devuberoi, that's unusual. could you run lspci -nn please, and check again? I think I might have given you the wrong info :P [21:00] abcd:1234 [21:00] BarkingFish, now it works :P 8086:3b56 [21:01] thank you, devuberoi :) [21:01] BarkingFish: and 1002:aa60 for AMD Radeon 5000 series [21:01] its unusual, BarkingFish how can i have 2 audio devices? :O [21:03] devuberoi, the AMD Radeon 5000 is a video card, it is possible it has integrated audio for attachment to something like a video camera or DV device [21:03] I couldn't rightly tell you, but I know some video devices have audio i/o on them [21:04] BarkingFish, oh ok :) [21:04] As for your main sound card, when you click Kmix on the bottom toolbar, do you get a "mixer" button? [21:04] BarkingFish: yup [21:05] can you click it and open your mixer please, and tell me what channels you have in it? [21:06] it's perfectly possible you have the wrong channel set as master in there :) [21:06] BarkingFish: i get built in analog audio and HDMI Audio [21:06] 0.0 [21:06] * BarkingFish finds himself in the depths of pulseaudio again [21:06] BarkingFish, oh crap, i guess you are right :P [21:06] What channel comes up on the volume control when you click it? [21:07] It will either say the name of one or the other of those channels [21:07] HDMI Audio (radeon 5000 series) redwood thingy [21:07] Yeah. Are you using the HDMI sound or are you using the regular analog sound? [21:07] as of now, HDMI i think [21:08] yup, HDMI it is [21:08] so the sound card on your PC is hooked up to HDMI, correct? [21:09] or is it hooked up to regular, bog standard 3.5mm plugged in speakers? [21:09] i have a dell inspiron 14r, its got a 3.5mm plug in jacka and HDMI output as well [21:09] and nothing is connected as of now [21:09] ah, so it's going through the laptop speakers? [21:10] yup [21:10] ok - can you click at the top of the mixer block, on settings, and select "Select master channel" please? [21:11] when the box comes up, can you tell me which channel is marked as the master please (which has the dot next to it?) [21:11] it was HDMI [21:12] ok, can you set it to Internal analog audio please? and select OK [21:12] ok, did it :) [21:12] right - now do you have some sound that you can play while we're talking please? [21:12] i''ll try :) [21:13] great. While you're doing that, can you right click on the kmix Icon, and select quit please? [21:14] built in audio works :P [21:14] when you've done this, hit the [K] button in the plasma toolbar, and go to multimedia, then select kmix and click on it please? [21:15] BarkingFish, i did :) [21:15] when kmix reopens, if you click on the icon, it should now say "Internal analog audio" at the top [21:15] it does :) [21:15] if you click the mute icon, does the sound stop totally? [21:16] it does :) [21:16] excellent. [21:16] thanks a lot BarkingFish :) [21:16] Pulseaudio kills a lot of the mixer options, devuberoi - it makes it a bit tougher to work out mixer issues, imo [21:17] i guess i should have played a little more with the settings :P [21:17] and you're welcome. I took PA off here about 2 releases back, never put it back on :) [21:17] ALSA all the way for me :D [21:17] lol :P [21:18] i'm glad you're fixed. You might want to reboot now, and make sure that the configuration remains in place when you restart kde :) [21:18] i'll do that, so how exactly do i shift from PA to ALSA? [21:18] :P [21:19] You would remove pulseaudio entirely by removing its cookies from your /home folder, then purging pulseaudio from your system entirely. You would then need to install alsa-utils and alsamixer [21:20] if you want help to do that, I'll assist you after you've rebooted, cause we'll probably need to do this again :P [21:21] lol, rebooting right now :P [21:21] see in a while [21:21] ok, see you in a bit [21:21] ping me if I'm not talking, just mention my nick and redlight me :) [21:22] How can I remove pulse audio and go with pure alsa? I am sick with the feted pile that is pulse. bad sound in flash, massive network usage, bad sound in games, etc. I am fed up. Please point me to something telling me how to remove it frome Kubuntu 12.04 safely and still have sound. [21:23] Num83rGuy, I will write this process up as a text document and put it on the net. Saves me doing it in channel :) I can probably give it to devuberoi too [21:24] OK thank you very much. [21:25] Wow it seems I am not alone. [21:26] guys is possible to minimize an application in a second panel (I have one in the top of the screen) [21:26] ? [21:32] Num83rGuy, http://pastebin.com/WzCdX3z0 [21:33] read the bit at the top and take note :) [21:33] and then off you go/ [21:34] Thank you. Is the paste permanent? If so can I put it up on G+? [21:34] Num83rGuy, no, you can't put it up on G+. Sorry - it's an unlisted paste :) [21:34] If I'd made it public, you could have put it anywhere. [21:35] OK no problem thanks agan. [21:35] be aware, for lines 6 and 7, start those 2 commands with sudo :) === Jikan is now known as Jikai [21:36] BarkingFish, my laptop refuses to detect wireless network, had to shift to my desktop :( [21:36] devuberoi, that's odd. [21:36] rebooted 3 times [21:37] unfortunately, unless you want help with ndiswrapper, i'm crud with networking :P [21:37] BarkingFish, i have a BCM4313 (Broadcom) Wireless card, which as per my search is giving issues to everyone who has it :/ [21:38] i do however, have the removal instructions for PA here - i posted them to pastebin.com. rather than explain them in channel - just be aware, for commands 6 and 7, you will need to start those with sudo :) [21:38] http://pastebin.com/WzCdX3z0 [21:38] cool, thanks :) [21:38] ah. The broadcom saga :D I don't mess with networking unless I'm doing ndiswrapper, which is how I get on the net here - my USB Wifi adapter isn't supported officially yet [21:42] lol, so do i also use ndiswrapper with windows drivers? :P [21:43] yeah [21:44] you have to set up ndiswrapper using the drivers which your device came with or (like me) you can download them from the net [21:45] the official wiki list of ndiswrapper does not have my PCI card :( [21:45] it doesn't have mine on it either, doesn't mean you can't get it working :) [21:47] broadcom should work, 4313 >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_STA_drivers [21:47] it does, but erractically [21:48] OerHeks, it was doing from what I gather - devuberoi was on it fine prior to rebooting after I got their sound sorted [21:48] works fine for 2-3 boots, but the 4th time i boot the system again, it does not detect any network unless i boot it again for few times [21:49] BarkingFish, OerHeks, i have the proprietary drivers installed and enabled via ADDITIONAL DRIVERS section [21:50] still it gives me headache [21:56] BarkingFish, there? [22:00] busy, won't be a moment :) just dealing with a phone call === spike__ is now known as Spiker [22:05] back [22:05] sorry about that [22:05] Hey there.... Looking for some assistance [22:06] devuberoi, so - how did you get on? [22:06] It's to do with the "Memory Status Widget" [22:06] ah, you probably couldn't finish I'd imagine. If you couldn't get on the net from your laptop, you couldn't finish step 7 L( [22:10] what is on the dvd that is not on the cd? [22:12] Anyone can help me with my problem? [22:13] still on the desktop :P [22:13] BarkingFish, how do i install the driver with ndiswrapper? [22:14] it gives me error as no such file exists when i type ndiswrapper -i bcmvwl [22:14] it gives me error as no such file exists when i type ndiswrapper -i bcmvwl.inf [22:14] devuberoi, the thing is - you need to be connected to the net on the laptop in order to get this to work - the new ndiswrapper module isn't on any of the old iso disks [22:15] oh sugar. nvm [22:15] i installed the ndiswrapper via usd [22:15] usb* [22:15] you're on 12.04 - you have the new ndiswrapper module anyway :) [22:15] oh :P [22:15] ok - ndiswrapper is dkms supported now [22:15] i still installed the testing version from sourceforge [22:15] 0.o [22:16] i sense something wrong here :P [22:16] hi [22:16] right - the first thing you need to then is have the files available to you. where do you have your bcm drivers? on cd or usb? [22:17] usb [22:17] excellent. can you cd to whichever folder or file your usb is mounted at please? [22:17] yup, done [22:17] and then cd into the right folder for the bcm drivers [22:17] yup [22:17] done [22:18] ok - can you type ndiswrapper -l please (that's l as in Lima) [22:18] did [22:18] sorry, i do that cause my font is funny - l and i almost look the same on here, and my eyesight isn't hot :) [22:18] lol :P [22:19] ok - you should have gotten no response from it, just your prompt [22:19] yup [22:19] right, next - type the ndiswrapper -i command with the .inf file you want to install. === mike_ is now known as Guest29427 [22:21] i did that, thats where it says no such file at usr/sbin/wrapper [22:21] ok, you've not got ndiswrapper installed properly then. [22:21] oh great [22:22] how do i do that now ? [22:22] you need three files to make ndiswrapper work correctly - ndiswrapper-dkms, ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils [22:23] if you can download those three files from our local pools, onto a USB stick, and copy them into your laptop, we can go from there. [22:23] Hold on and I will get you a link to do this. [22:24] okay [22:24] devuberoi, http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ [22:25] that is for the ndiswrapper common and utils files, get the common ending in all.deb and utils ending in i386.deb [22:26] i will find the ndiswrapper-dkms and link you to that too [22:26] i have a 64 bit system :P [22:27] oopsie [22:27] hold on then [22:27] :) [22:27] here, you need to get ndiswrapper-dkms_1.56-3_all.deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ndiswrapper/ [22:28] not the 1.57 ? the rest i did 1.57 [22:29] well yeah, get 1.57 if you wish :) [22:29] I have still got 1.56 on here, but 1.57 won't be much different, it may not even be different at all :) [22:29] oh ok :) [22:29] now i install these right? [22:30] have you saved those files to your usb stick? [22:30] yup [22:30] loaded on the laptop as well [22:30] ok - do you know how to install packages locally? [22:31] i just install them through QApt [22:31] you need to install them in a particular order to get this right though [22:31] oh [22:31] common first, devuberoi - then utils, then the dkms package [22:31] how ? [22:31] ok [22:32] if you don't have the common files there, the other 2 will fail as having missing dependencies :) [22:32] cool :) [22:34] done [22:34] excellent. Now you can try the ndiswrapper commands again. start with the ndiswrapper -i command [22:35] it should work, if not you may need to reboot to allow dkms to build ndiswrapper [22:36] rebooting [22:36] ok [22:37] the best part would be my wifi card starts working after the boot :P [22:37] not yet it won't, we got stuff to do first :) [22:38] it will do if we can get ndiswrapper functioning :) [22:38] a big LOL, now its connected to my home wifi :P [22:38] #facepalm [22:38] 0.0 [22:40] yeah, it happens :P [22:44] BarkingFish, ok i installed, and it says driver installed, device (14E4:4727) present [22:45] excellent. [22:45] Now what we need to do is confirm assignment to the device. [22:45] oh ok [22:45] so - in a terminal, type: ndiswrapper -a 14E4:4727 (driver name without the .inf) [22:46] you should get told the device is already using that driver [22:49] it says driver already used for 14e4:4727 [22:49] excellent [22:49] 3 more little steps and we're away [22:49] oh cool [22:49] 3 small commands then, run each seperately and hit enter after each one :) [22:50] okay :) [22:50] ndiswrapper -m ndiswrapper -ma ndiswrapper -mi [22:51] done :) [22:52] ok - so the very very last step then. Can you uninstall your proprietary drivers please? It's possible they may interfere with ndiswrapper, they'll both try to activate the wifi :) [22:53] okay :) === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 [22:56] cool, its done now :) [22:56] BarkingFish, thr? [22:57] yup [22:57] ok, now just type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [22:57] then restart kde (not your whole machine) and you should be able to get straight back onto the net [22:58] to restart kde from the terminal, type: sudo service kdm restart [22:58] you'll vanish from here if you're on the laptop [23:01] not showing any wireless card now :( === guest___ is now known as harp [23:04] How can I setup an kubuntu system to be logged in from another computer over the web? [23:04] devuberoi, ok - you've rebooted, and it's coming up with no wireless device at all... [23:04] that is unusual. [23:05] nope, nothing [23:13] can you open up your konsole, and type: ndiswrapper -l please [23:13] just check ndiswrapper is picking up and finding something [23:13] yup [23:14] driver installed, device present [23:14] ok, then can you do this for me please? [23:14] sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper [23:15] did [23:15] ok, look at your network manager - you should have a red square, white X in the middle, yes? [23:15] yup [23:16] lan jack icon with red box x [23:16] ok, back to your terminal, and can you please type: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [23:16] if ndiswrapper picks up, the red box, white X will disappear [23:17] nope, same [23:17] :( [23:17] ok, can you type iwconfig please? [23:18] did, lo no wireless extensions, eth0 no wireless extensions [23:18] dang [23:18] ok, please give me one moment while I go check for something :) [23:18] ok [23:20] right, could you cd to /etc/modprobe.d please? :) [23:20] did [23:21] now, can you type: vi ndiswrapper.conf please? [23:21] did, then? [23:22] can you tell me - is there anything in that file? [23:23] lot of install lines [23:26] can you see any in there which have this attached to them: alias wlan0 ndiswrapper [23:28] none [23:29] :/ [23:30] its 5:0 AM here, i think i should sleep, work tomorrow :P [23:31] BarkingFish, will catch up later i guess :) what time you come on IRC ? [23:31] Ok - so it's 5 am where you are. [23:31] It's 00:30 here - [23:32] yup, too late/early :P [23:32] I normally come on the net about 19:00 (7PM) my time. [23:32] what seems to be the issue? any idea? [23:32] oh cool [23:32] Which is about midnightish where you are. [23:32] yup :) [23:32] It sounds to me like you haven't got an alias set up for your wireless card in the ndiswrapper config. [23:33] will catch you that time again tomorrow :) [23:33] any fix for that? [23:33] It might be we need to fix that, otherwise ndiswrapper doesn't know what it's supposed to be running :) [23:33] yeah - I'll go over it with you tomorrow night [23:33] cool, thanks mate :) [23:34] no probs, you're welcome [23:34] have a good night's sleep :) [23:34] we can work tomorrow when you're refreshed [23:36] sure, will catch you tomorrow :) gnyt :) [23:37] bye [23:37] :)
