How can I troubleshoot? [02:16] panik run it from konsole you will get some info back . [02:46] I type bespin in to package manger and get nothing... I thought that was a common package for kde [02:46] i think the package is kwin-style-bespin [02:47] still bespin should pull it up [02:47] it should [02:47] nothing [02:47] it could also be removed === ja227 is now known as Parkitect [03:17] Hello?

[03:19] well... your going to laugh... but [03:20] I'm trying to link my steam files from my windows partion to the steam I have installed thru wine. [03:20] ok [03:20] it says there is a way but I cant even find my main steam files on the ubuntu [03:21] i understand. thats because its hidden. [03:22] Could you please walk me thru how to find them.. [03:22] now on linux and unix any file that stats with a . will be hidden (just something to remember) in your home folder you have a folder named ".wine" [03:23] now you mentioned that you were using ubuntu . are you using kde? [03:23] I have installed 12.04 outa the box... [03:23] ubuntu or kubuntu ? [03:23] ubuntu. [03:24] am I in the wrong channel? [03:24] ok this channel is for kubuntu it has a different interface and different programs. [03:24] i can still hlep you [03:24] Oh cool. Thank you. [03:24] you need to open your file browser (natualis ) [03:25] and look for the option to show hidden files you will see a lot of them look for .wine and open it up [03:26] in your .wine folder there will be a folder named "drive_c" that is your virtual C drive. [03:27] found it. [03:28] exelent... [03:28] you should be able to make a shortcut to it in the panel on the left. i just don't know how since i use a diffrent file browser [03:29] Ok. [03:30] there is a #ubuntu where someone would be able to help you with that if you can't figure it out. [03:30] Thank you for all your help! [03:30] your welcome [03:31] steam should be coming to linux soon so there will be a native client. [03:32] I have heard that... [03:32] I'm looking forward to it!

[03:44] what is chat place? [03:45] like, you know, switch between topics [03:46] Like, I imagine that Kubuntu isn't the only thing people talk about on here [03:46] oh in quassel. you right click on the server in the all chats part and select join channel [03:46] Ah yes, I see.

[03:48] bugs for what? [03:48] kwin and dolphin bugs [03:48] from kde 4.9 [03:49] do you have backports enabled? [03:49] sithlord48, yes [03:49] I do [03:49] etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubuntu-ppa-backports-precise.list [03:50] then perhaps they are not built yet. it is also possible if they were kde bugs that they will be part of kde 4.9.1 [03:50] ok [03:51] i think there might be a testing place thats used before it hits backports also. [03:55] there is a kwin bug that certain themes doesn't work properly, you need hold the window for some seconds before start to move it [03:56] taht was fixed? [03:56] yes [03:58] sithlord48, http://i.imgur.com/hgXb1.jpg dolphin panel at left doesnt resize the icons [03:58] sithlord48, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304249 [03:58] KDE bug 304249 in aurorae "Long delay when moving window through title bar" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] [03:58] i hadn't noticed that since i keep those usually small [03:58] can't use aurorae themes [03:59] Status: RESOLVED FIXED [03:59] sithlord48 [03:59] im using aurorae now [03:59] I fixed the issue:) [03:59] i don't have any delay when moving [03:59] thank you for helping this newby along his quest! [03:59] very good lifbrngr [04:00] your welcome. [04:00] sithlord48, oh sorry this was fixed [04:00] I did some updates and I didn't check aurorae bug was fixed [04:01] uhhhh not yet [04:01] not fixed [04:01] first try it moved normal [04:01] but now still lag [04:03] odd that i don't have this problem [04:04] I move .kde kdeold and I did test with the new conf and still had the same problem [04:05] also dolphin is more slow takes two seconds to open [04:06] it does seam to take longer to open [04:07] 4.8 was perfect [04:08] you can remove 4.9 [04:08] how? [04:08] I wish back to 4.8 [04:08] are you good w/ the CLi? [04:08] yes [04:09] you first have to run ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [04:09] with sudo of course. [04:09] you might not want to do this with out wifi [04:09] with out a wire* [04:10] ok [04:11] the purge might remove some of the desktop stuff you might have to do some update/upgrade or dist-upgrade after this [04:11] worst case you should reinstall "kubuntu-desktop" package that shoudl cover about all the base kde stuff. [04:11] sithlord48, thank you, I will do this tomorrow then, just purge the ppa and dist-upgrade? [04:12] taht should do it.

Whenever I restart my computer, the mediatomb database is empty. Anyone have this problem and/or could suggest an alternative DLNA to use with ubuntu? [14:11] Goonbee: XBMC [14:12] No, I'm trying to have my computer host videos to watch off a PS3 [14:12] Yeah [14:12] XBMC [14:12] xbmc is a viewer, no? [14:12] Both [14:12] It lets you view stuff and host stuff [14:13] I am using it now to host my pr0n [14:13] doesnt it take up a lot of resources? [14:13] Not really [14:13] XBMC tries to take over your pc ...it's ok but there are too many menus to jump thru to find what you want [14:13] I like mediatomb because its pretty much hidden, almost no resources [14:13] it works, when it works [14:14] BluesKaj: That is a valid argument, but once it's setup, it works great [14:14] but all of a sudden ,i restart my computer and everytime, my database goes to shit [14:14] i have to rescan [14:14] And I have XBMC playing now and streaming with not even 1% memory being used. [14:14] ~10% CPU [14:14] thats huge [14:14] mediatomb takes up nothing [14:14] 2GB RAM and a dual-core 2GHz CPU [14:15] Goonbee, so the PS3 sees the linux share , interesting [14:16] the ps3 sees the linux mediatomb DLNA [14:17] how do i see if i have multiple instances of mediatomb running?

Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [14:42] Roey: Probaly whoever Obama's Vice President is. [14:42] I was trying to find a proper channel, heh [14:42] Roey: Aaaaah. [14:43] oh interesting.. vp is pres. of congress? [14:43] I think I have read that [14:43] Roey: I know Hilary Clinton is Secretary of State, no? [14:43] VP is Pres of Senate only. [14:43] Roey: I have no idea, heheheh. [14:43] anyway I was politely asked to move the discussion elsewhere [14:43] er [14:43] what's the point of being pres of senate only [14:43] i don't really care. ot happened to me once.. so I thought id pass it along.. [14:44] oh, ok [14:44] thanks [14:44] Speaker rules the House. [14:44] I also don't see the harm of idle chatter if no questions are presented and not overlooked.. but Op's are hardcases, sometimes. [14:44] we'll say we're talking about the latest proposed Kubuntu governance model. [14:45] it's not real.. wouldn't get very far in here. [14:45] hehe [14:45] full of admins n people of that nature.. mostly no nonsense cats.. [14:46] DarthFrog: so how does Congress interface with the White House? [14:46] Roey: Don't know, sorry. I'm Canadian. :-) === shumski is now known as shumski_ [14:46] ha! [14:46] cool I was in Canada twice in the past year [14:47] DarthFrog: I went to Montreal first and then Toronto [14:47] Roey: I'm in Vancouver.

[14:49] DarthFrog: I went to the kde 4 release event in california.. were you there too? [14:49] BluesKaj: o/ [14:49] Nope and this conversation should be taken to #kubuntu-offtopic. [14:50] aha perfect === kubuntu is now known as lolcatz === llee_ is now known as llee === kubuntu is now known as Guest57409 === llee is now known as llee3 === llee3 is now known as llee [15:14] hello [15:14] anyone knows how to install nvidia driver on Kubuntu ? [15:15] phil_, yes [15:15] you still need help? [15:16] dougl, tell me how pls [15:16] k sec [15:17] recalling [15:17] !nvidia [15:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [15:17] go to the k and in the menu that pops up at the top there is a search box... search for additional drivers. [15:18] DarthFrog, thanks [15:18] Or run jockey-kde [15:18] darthanubis, not th additional divers from the menu? [15:18] Press Alt-F2, type "jockey-kde". [15:18] dougl: Would be the same thing. Different roads to the same end. [15:20] dougl, DarthFrog, thanks you two [15:21] but it told me no driver found [15:21] what to do next > [15:21] phil_: Really? That's odd. [15:21] hmmm [15:21] very odd [15:21] phil_: Not even in the section below, about inactive drivers? [15:22] DarthFrog: yes, my computer has two driver cards, one is intel and the other is nvidia [15:22] phil_: And do you have any output on the Nvidia card? [15:22] DarthFrog: I don't think so [15:23] Do you want to use both cards at the same time? [15:23] I tried to enable the nvidia driver, but the screen went to 640X480 ,that's bad [15:23] I presume the Intel one is an on-board graphics? [15:24] DarthFrog: I just want to enable the desktop effect on kubuntu [15:24] so now , it didn't [15:24] Do you want to use both cards at the same time? [15:25] DarthFrog: do you think that's possible ? [15:25] I don't know and if you answer "yes", then I'm going to bow out. Otherwise I can help you, perhaps. [15:26] DarthFrog: I just want to get the best display effect , do you have any idea on this ? [15:27] I can tell you what I'd do. Disable the on-board graphics in the BIOS. [15:28] Let the system find the Nvidia card and it will use the nouveau driver. That will give you desktop effects. Or then you can run jockey-kde and install the proprietary drivers. [15:29] DarthFrog: so kubuntu doesn't support the function which can switch between two card, does it ? [15:30] phil_: I don't know, I've never had two cards installed at the same time so I've never had to solve that problem. Maybe it can. [15:31] But I suspect that your BIOS is preferring the on-board video over the accessory card. [15:31] DarthFrog, actually the nouveau driver is quite good now , compared to previous vesrions , it's good fallback which I'm seriously considering , now that 304 driver for 12.10 is freezing the whole system lately [15:33] BluesKaj: Oh lovely. :-( And I was just considering getting an Nvidia 560 Ti to replace my Radeon 5770, which is giving me problems with the fglrx drivers. Works tickety-boo with the open-source Radeon driver, though. Just not enough performance for running Civ 5. [15:33] DarthFrog: I tried this command, "lspci | grep VGA" and get the correct info about both the cards [15:34] Does it mean something ? [15:34] BluesKaj: Do you have an AMD cpu? if so, try disabling AMD Cool 'n Quiet in the BIOS. [15:34] DarthFrog, my 12.04 install the this same pc (on a different hdd) , is very stable with the 295 nvidia driver' [15:34] phil_: Try this then: lsmod | grep nouveau [15:35] BluesKaj: Which Nvidia card do you have? [15:35] 520M [15:35] DarthFrog, yes I do have an AMD cpu , nvidia card is geforce 7600gt [15:35] DarthFrog: I get nothing from "lsmod | grep nouveau" [15:36] phil_: Can you pull the Intel card? [15:37] DarthFrog: that's a big project, i'm using a laptop.. [15:37] phil_: A laptop with two video outputs? Never heard of that before. [15:38] phil_, the intel is your onboard I assume , you'll have to disable or choose the other pci card as default [15:38] phil_: Anyway, I'm of no more help to you. [15:38] BluesKaj: He's refusing to do that. [15:38] phil_, the dual gpu laptop , optimus or something? [15:39] BluesKaj: it's a Dell XPS [15:39] BluesKaj: I was having severe video problems in Windows, the system locking up every 10 seconds or so. Disabling Cool 'n Quiet helped with that. Now it does it every 30 seconds. :-( [15:41] phil_, not enough info , but I suspect probly the dual gpu , one low demand chip which then switches to a second higher capability chip when the load requires it [15:41] BluesKaj: yes ,you got it [15:42] BluesKaj: can I get it work the same way on Kubuntu ? [15:46] phil_, I've heard bumblebee helps , but I'm not sure whether it uses both gpus [15:47] !bumblebee | phil_ [15:47] http://bumblebee-project.org/ [15:47] !info bumblebee | phil_ [15:47] phil_: Package bumblebee does not exist in precise [15:47] hmm [15:48] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable [15:48] sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia [15:48] From the project page. [15:48] DarthFrog: I will have a look on this [15:50] DarthFrog, that's odd , never saw that site before , must be new since the new driver devel [15:50] anyway looks like a good thing for dual gpu users on linux [15:51] BluesKaj: I'd never heard of bumblebee before you just mentioning it. That's what Google search gave me. === ruben is now known as Guest47750 === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 [16:07] BluesKaj: bumblebee rocks!

[17:07] dougl, Nope [17:08] dougl, But that prolly isn't necessary [17:08] dougl, I bet a reinstall of cups would fix it. [17:08] damn - I was hoping for somethign more positive... [17:09] DFrostedWang, I'll take that bet and a bit of moral support if you are offering - lol [17:09] Sure thing [17:09] DFrostedWang, lets chat a bit... what do you suggest? [17:09] I suggest simply reinstalling cups [17:10] DFrostedWang, I am currently doing a dist-upgrade in console and the cups updates in there have hung the process [17:11] your thots? [17:11] huh... [17:11] exit that terminal and do it again [17:11] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-missing [17:13] DFrostedWang, k - gotcha... giving it a try but last time I was at this message was thru a cups apt-get reinstall process and would not ctrl+c out, but like I said I am trying... [17:14] DFrostedWang, ok - I am not trying to be needy (or useless) I just want you to have complete control and and enjoy our experience (frustration) - lol [17:15] TWSS [17:15] DFrostedWang, what do you suggest for quitting the current process [17:15] TWSS = ? [17:15] That's what she said [17:16] LOL [17:16] ps aux | grep apt [17:16] Find the pid and then: kill (pid) [17:19] DFrostedWang, there were some kernel updates in this process that did not finnish - will that break my box?

[19:20] dunno, something is very wrong with the way triskel/trisquel build their distro then [19:21] or, as I've found it to be, most kubuntu derivatives do it the wrong way [19:21] handheldCar: use stock kubuntu :P [19:21] :) [19:22] that entire thing seems so messed up really [19:22] I might ask them about it then.

[20:06] I'm runnig the Live daily-build Kubuntu DVD. I want to run the live version, not install. Where is this "boot prompt"? How to I "enter live"? [20:07] sonic|2, just looked there - I dont see where to config autologin... am I missing something? [20:07] the last tab in there [20:08] should be convenience [20:10] sonic|2, yes, thank you :) [20:10] glad to help [20:11] * dougl gonna reboot brand spankin new 12.04... brb [20:11] anyone out there use this Live Kubuntu CD/DVD? [20:22] where do I find how to start apcupsd automaitically? [20:23] * dougl is excited 12.04 complete install config in less than 3 hrs - thanks for the help ladies and gents. [20:23] I used unetbootin to put Kubuntu ISO on a flash drive. Maybe this prevents a "boot prompt" from coming up? Maybe that's why I'm forced into an install ... rather than getting a chance to request live. [20:25] ok, maybe I need to use usb-creator instead of unetbootin [20:25]
