[00:04] Hi, you know how holding alt+clicking drags the window? I was having problems disabling this, and somehow i've messed it up and now just clicking my mouse drags the window, and i have to hold alt to click normally, what can I do to fix this? [00:10] i have a question about linked (binded?) directory. Anyone who can answer a few questions? [00:12] i have linked a directory to a home directory because I use virtual users with pure-ftpd. The problem is I might accidentally just remove everything in the home folder at some point and then I guess all the files in the target directory will get removed too. Can this be avoide somehow (besides me being more careful when deleting)? [00:14] anyone? please. === ceradon-away is now known as euphoria === euphoria is now known as ceradon-away === ceradon-away is now known as euphoria === euphoria is now known as ceradon-away === zhang is now known as Guest18439 === Drachenblut is now known as Lord_Drachenblut [05:07] Ok, I have my TV card (a very old Bt878) plugged into the CD port on the MB (P55-UDA). I launch tvtime and I get a picture, but no sound. Both Phonon & Alsamixer don't even list the CD port as a possable volume control. Kubuntu 12.04 (all updates applied). Any ideas? [05:39] man, is this channel ever dead. [05:39] much like kubuntu, come to think about it. [06:02] \o [06:02] rhombus: more or less because everyone is sleeping ... [06:07] shadeslayer: now they are, but not for the past seven hours they haven't [06:08] possibly just busy? [06:08] rhombus: what's the issue? [06:08] shadeslayer: just compare it with the traffic in #ubuntu... [06:08] shadeslayer: ok, the issue - [06:08] hahhahahaahahahahah [06:08] that's not indicative of anything [06:08] infact, it just goes on to tell that people have more issues in ubuntu than in kubuntu :P [06:09] then perhaps you can both help me... how do I get Adobe Flash and Java to install properly in kubuntu? [06:09] java... blah [06:09] flash, install flashplugin-installer [06:09] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [06:10] shadeslayer: no [06:10] that'll give you pretty much everything [06:10] jussi: that did not work. [06:10] rhombus: reinstall it... [06:10] and make sure you have net connection at the time [06:10] jussi: hm? Last I checked that installed flash as well as other stuff [06:10] shadeslayer: do I have to install both ubuntu-restricted and kubuntu-restricted? [06:11] jussi: I have done that twice, and both times the network worked fine [06:11] rhombus: restarted your browser since? [06:11] jussi: the package manager shows it as installed, but firefox shows nothing in plugins [06:11] jussi: numerous times [06:12] jussi: shadeslayer: in fact, I have installed both kubuntu-restricted and flashplugin-installer. [06:13] sec [06:13] rhombus: can you find where libflashplayer.so lives? [06:13] then copy that into /home/${USER}/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [06:14] shadeslayer: even if I can find it (haven't yet) -- isn't the package manager supposed to do this? [06:14] nope [06:15] I've never seen a package touch stuff in /home [06:15] shadeslayer: see, on gentoo, when I do "emerge flashplayer", it installs flash, and "it just works"(tm) [06:15] you can do a dpkg -S libflashplayer.so [06:15] shadeslayer: my point was more that it should install it globally and it should just work [06:15] rhombus: it does install it globally [06:16] but by copying over the lib you're overriding the binary, I just want to make sure the problem is with the library [06:16] and not with the install [06:17] shadeslayer: "dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern *libflashplayer.so*." [06:17] I don't think you have flash installed then :P [06:18] just remove flashplugin-installer and grab it again [06:18] rhombus: http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz [06:18] shadeslayer: muon software center says "flashplugin-installer - status: installed" [06:18] installing it again should pull it down properly and install it globally [06:18] hateball: remove how? By clicking Remove in muon? [06:18] rhombus: that's fine, flashplugin installer pulls another tarball [06:19] the one I just linked above [06:19] hateball: I think I have done this four times now [06:19] rhombus: I see [06:19] rhombus: download http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz > extract to /home/${USER}/.mozilla/plugins/ [06:19] shadeslayer: are we doing that for diagnostic purposes? [06:19] more or less, yes [06:20] should solve the flash issue you have [06:20] shadeslayer: well [06:20] shadeslayer: actually, I would like to find out why this doesn't simply work through the package manager [06:20] * shadeslayer is trying out flashplugin-installer himself atm [06:20] rhombus: yeah, looking at that [06:21] shadeslayer: ok, kubuntu is on another machine -- how do I find that tarball you just cited? just go to archive.canonical.com? [06:22] rhombus: apt-get just spit that url out, but yes, you can just go to archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a [06:22] shadeslayer: ok, done [06:22] and it seems like dpkg doesn't track libflashplayer.so [06:23] shadeslayer: and java doesn't work in firefox either [06:23] right, let's get flash figured out first [06:23] please restart ff [06:23] shadeslayer: ok, thanks. downloading it. [06:24] rhombus: check if you have /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [06:24] that's where it installed stuff for me [06:25] shadeslayer: ok, for starters, there is no .mozilla/plugins directory. [06:25] Per default you need to symlink that to the Firefox plugin-dir, which update-alternatives should do if it's properly installed [06:25] rhombus: ok, make one [06:25] hateball: indeed [06:25] infact there's a script to do that [06:25] * hateball hasnt actually used flashplugin-installer in years tho, due to running 64-bit java and despising nspluginwrapper [06:26] err, flash. [06:26] shadeslayer: there is a /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer directory containing a single file, the executable install_plugin [06:27] heh [06:27] clearly something went horribly wrong [06:27] rhombus: you can call that script to install flash to a system location by passing the downloaded tarball as a argument [06:28] shadeslayer: ok, before we proceed here, what is actually supposed to happen here? [06:28] rhombus: ideally, apt-get install flashplugin-installer which ( I think ) has a postinst script that downloads and installs flash [06:29] shadeslayer: so, said script either didn't run, or is broken. [06:29] most likely the former [06:29] it worked for me [06:29] shadeslayer: so, to do this manually, I run it from the command line with the tarball as the argument? [06:30] rhombus: I believe so [06:30] so something like : sudo /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/install_plugin /path/to/flash [06:31] shadeslayer: path to flash.tar.gz, or path to flash.so? [06:31] tar.gz [06:32] shadeslayer: because now I am getting this error: "Installing from local file adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz ... cp: cannot stat 'adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz': No such file or directory [06:32] which is clearly wrong -- the file is right in front of me [06:32] mmmmm [06:32] rhombus: can you copy the tarball to /var/cache/flashplugin-installer [06:33] 64 bit with a 32bit plugin? [06:33] shadeslayer: is that a directory, or a file? [06:33] rhombus: directory [06:33] shadeslayer: ok, done [06:33] rhombus: and try giving the absolute path [06:35] shadeslayer: ok, that seemed to work, it says "Flash Plugin installed." [06:35] woot [06:35] rhombus: what does ls -l /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin say? [06:36] shadeslayer: and after restarting ff, it shows up in the plugins. [06:36] yay [06:36] onto java [06:36] !java [06:36] 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. [06:37] shadeslayer: it points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [06:37] you want the openjdk package [06:37] rhombus: cool [06:37] shadeslayer: ok, but what does it mean? (/etc/alternatives, I mean?) [06:38] rhombus: I can only explain with a example :P [06:38] shadeslayer: and believe me, I have installed openjdk already -- same song and dance as with the flash plugin. what in blazes is wrong with this system? [06:38] rhombus: do you also have the icedtea plugin? [06:39] shadeslayer: oh wait, I aborted the install. Hang on, let me try this again [06:39] ... [06:41] while we are waiting, why didn't the flash install just work with muon? [06:41] I can't say [06:42] entirely possible that the internet connection dropped, tarball was corrupted etc [06:43] a simple timeout error on the mirror will break it [06:43] shadeslayer: yeah, but four times? and shouldn't it report when there's an error? [06:43] but removing the installer and installing it again should trigger the script properly, so that's weird [06:44] on java front: java appears to be installed [06:44] rhombus: it does report a error, however it's a script, so ouput is redirected to stdout [06:44] is there a page I can visit to test that? [06:44] rhombus: icedtea plugin as well? [06:44] shadeslayer: considering how slick ubuntu usually is, that's weak [06:45] shadeslayer: yeah -- in fact, that's what I installed, and I just let muon pull the dependencies [06:45] ok [06:45] go to about:plugins and check there first [06:45] then : http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp [06:46] rhombus: it works perfectly on my machine [06:46] ( flash installer ) [06:46] shadeslayer: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.2 (1.2-2ubuntu1.2)) [06:46] shadeslayer: ok, "Your Java is working" -- that took forever, but it is working [06:47] :) [06:47] shadeslayer: is there a sun, er, oracle jdk package for kubuntu? [06:47] rhombus: no, they removed sun/oracle stuff from the archives [06:47] shadeslayer: in gentoo you just have to pre-fetch the installer, then run "emerge sun-jdk" [06:48] primarily because Oracle doesn't want to support java on linux and it's full of security holes [06:48] shadeslayer: huh? that's insane -- java is a multiplatform development language by definition [06:49] shadeslayer: and the linux support of a number of major vendors totally depends on java [06:49] "Oracle, in retiring the ‘Operating System Distributor License for Java’, means Canonical no longer have permission to distribute the package."

[06:56] we have a perfectly capable (and unused) offtopic channel, you know ;) [06:59] shadeslayer: so, now that I have installed flash manually, does that mean I also have to uninstall it manually should that be required? [06:59] Moring. [06:59] rhombus: nah [07:00] when you remove it apt should remove it automagically [07:00] *should* :} [07:00] I get a dialog with, 'Remember this for future connections?' each time I sign into my Google account with telepathy. How do I fix this? [07:02] Smurphy: yeah, that was my thought, too :) [07:12] vsrao: make sure you don't have empathy stuff installed [07:12] iirc it takes over ssl cert auths and shows you that dialog [07:12] shadeslayer: Ah, you're right. I'll remove that now. [07:14] Yup.

KDE 4.9 introduced a new feature that's really bugging me. In Dolphin the current directory changes according to current directory in the F4 terminal panel. And that adds lots of bugs as the directory in terminal also syncs with the current directory in Dolphin! [19:29] The first of them is that when terminal panel is on, the symlinks are resolved (because bash does that probably), an effect I don't want. [19:29] And the second is, there can be conflicts when I change between left and right panels rapidly: the directories get messed up because there is some delay with the syncing.

[20:34] BarkingFish, I saw news report about the bomb with video showing the explosion , scary stuff [20:34] yeah - that is about 3 miles or so from the hospital i'm going to be working at :) === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin === paolo is now known as faLUCE [20:36] i thought you worked for wikiimedia, BarkingFish [20:37] no, i don't work for Wikimedia. I have a Wikimedia cloak because I work on multiple wikis, wiktionary, wikipedia, wikibooks, etc - so I got one to cover the whole spectrum :) [20:38] ok , understood [20:42] BarkingFish, what's the hospital connection , if you don't mind my curiosity ? [20:43] BluesKaj, I qualified some years ago as a Paramedic - back in April/May of this year, I went to Germany to do a month long observer placement at a Children's hospital in Munich - I wound up working with them, not just observing. [20:43] When I finished my placement, they offered me a job working as a Children's emergency paramedic. [20:44] cool , helping others for living , good stuff ! [20:46] Yeah - the clinic is actually attached to a University - Ludwig Maximillians Universität. It's basically what we call a "poly-clinic", but I'm going to be attached to the Kindernotarzt on the children's hospital side. [20:47] What we basically do is run a doctor lead emergency service to seriously ill kids across the whole Munich region [20:48] how's your deutsch ... must be good [20:49] Hello everyone :) [20:49] i'm not bad, but i still have a lot of medical level german to learn. [20:49] until I'm up to scratch, I have to go out double crewed, with an english speaking doctor. [20:50] I can imagine ...dad spoke some german , he found it hard to learn [20:50] and his native tongue was swedish :) [20:51] my german isn't so bad - I'm capable of quite advanced conversation, but when it comes to passing information over the phone when we forward call a hospital, that'll be a different matter. [20:51] that's where it starts to get complicated, handovers at emergency departments, taking vital signs, etc [20:52] colloquialisms etc [20:52] yeah [20:53] brb [20:53] hazardz, this is a support chat btw ..we're a bit offtopic here [20:54] atm at least [20:54] Yeah I know But I was going to ask if I could help some people with questions? [20:55] ppl usually ask , then we answer if we can help [20:55] sure. It's not a problem if you want to help - others ask, and anyone who knows the answer can step in and help them [20:55] Okay thanks [20:58] Do any of you guys know when the KDE 4.9.1 SC will be released into the kubuntu backports PPA? [21:01] hazardz, dunno for sure, Riddell said it was out , but he didn't specify where [21:01] maybe someone's ppa [21:01] I have looked around and i have found the source code and I could compile it but have no clue where to start. [21:02] Kubuntu seems to be really horrible at handling dual monitor configuration changes [21:03] In which way do you mean the resolutions not being correct? [21:03] hazardz: For one thing, when I unplug the monitor (from my laptop), it should send windows that were on it onto the remaining display. [21:04] Not only does it not do that, but despite recognizing that it was unplugged, it still allows the mouse to go where the monitor was. [21:04] Another thing, when I reboot, the monitor tray icon has all the check boxes backwards. [21:05] For instance "unify displays" is unchecked, but it starts up with the same thing on both screens. [21:05] Ditto for "primary display" [21:05] hazardz, if you're into bleeding edge , then install build-essentail and cmake , altho the make file will probly work with just the make command , the readme and install textfiles in the extracted tarball can give the instructions you need to compile it [21:06] Then I gave up and clicked "configure." The second monitor's position was set to "clone of LVDS1" [21:06] tbh I can understand why the windows will go to the remaining monitor nafg what version of KDE are you using? [21:06] Apparently that's different than "unify display" [21:06] nafg: LightDM has some issues with external monitors. There is a fix for that. I also can move mouse off screen after unplugging my monitor. This does not occur under KDM. I have small but tolerable problems with resolution, windows not jumping to availabe screens and mouse and phantom screen syndrome. [21:06] Oh I can understand it to --- it's simply a lack of action otherwise. But it should be smarter. [21:06] blueskaj what do i need to donwnload to compile? [21:07] It's really annoying, every time I want to move away from my desk, I have to move all the windows on all desktops to the right screen. [21:08] Yeah I dont use multiple monitors on my laptop i'll plug it into one of the monitors at college and see wht happens [21:08] LightDM is not installed [21:08] Also sometimes unplugging it seems to crash KWin [21:08] Are you using the defualt KDE login manager? [21:08] Yes [21:08] I recently did a fresh Kubuntu install [21:08] hazardz, yes you'll need to download the upgraded package then extract it , you said you found the source code , then it's probly in tar file [21:09] nafg: Ah ok. Are you possibly using DisplayPort? What graphics card? What driver? [21:10] I believe Intel, but how do I verify? [21:10] What is DisplayPort? [21:10] blueskaj the source doesn't appear to be a one tarball file as you can see in this link: http://kde.org/info/4.9.1.php Is there a way around this? [21:10] nafg use kinfo [21:10]
