nezumi_I dont really know how to get rid of this message: Failed to download http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages03:36
nezumi_404  Not Found   I tried to add wacom related ppa but god only knows what I did wrong - I am still learning. BTW - wacom tablet works perfect, just that message each time I am trying to update03:36
tsimpsonnezumi_: open the Muon package manager, go to Settings -> Configure Software Sources, under Other Sources look for "http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu precise" and remove it. that should fix your problem03:41
OerHeksindeed, https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/wacom-plus has no precise packages03:41
nezumi_thanks it worked out just great. Anybody knows working ppa for wacom tablet or place I can look for it?03:48
OerHekshttps://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/wacom does have precise packages .. but do you really need those, if it is working already?03:49
DarthFrognezumi_: This really is one of those times where "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" really applies.03:50
nezumi_It wasnt working, I fixed it but problem is I dont remember how :D03:51
DarthFrogGo on to something else.03:52
nezumi_anyways last question - Not all packages could be marked for upgrade. The available upgrades may require new packages to be installed or removed. Do you want to mark upgrades that may require the installation or removal of additional packages?03:52
DarthFrogYour call but most folks would probably answer yes, unless they had a good reason not to.03:53
OerHeksIndeed.03:53
nezumi_I have three items to be "mark additional changes" - I click ok and this thing comes back again. I would be more specyfic if I knew whats going on - all I see is that something went wrong03:54
nezumi_hate to be that newbie - sorry ;)03:54
nezumi_ok, I see it is updating so... lets see what will happen. I feel stupid for that last "question", forget it and thanks for help03:56
DarthFrogDon't worry about it.  You'll soon have the confidence to not need hand-holding.  You'll know that time has arrived when you answer a non-trivial question from another newbie. :-)03:57

cyt93cs_Hi there, I am tring to use kdesrc-build (on Kubuntu) to build nepomuk-core, but I got error message about missing package: Soprano Virtuoso Backend04:39
cyt93cs_After searching for a while and installed some packages, but I still cannot find which is the correct package name...04:39
[Relic]is 4.9 considered pretty stable or would I be better off  waiting for when it is put into the normal repositories?04:51
shumskicyt93cs_: did you compile soprano yourself, or are using kubuntu packages?04:56
shumski[Relic]: what would be normal reposotories?04:57
[Relic]whatever ones are installed with the normal install of 12.04, do I wait for 12.10 (figuring it would be in that version)05:03
cyt93cs_shumski: I use kubuntu package: libsoprano-dev libsoprano4 soprano-daemon05:05
shumski[Relic]: 4.9 will/is available in backports PPA or new Kubuntu version (12.10), not with 'plain' Kubuntu 12.0405:06
shumskicyt93cs_: well, that should be OK05:07
shumskicyt93cs_: do you have full log?05:07
cyt93cs_shumski: sure, wait a moment05:07
cyt93cs_shumski: http://paste.kde.org/544268/05:08
shumskicyt93cs_: you built soprano from master branch: Found Soprano: /home/yenting/kde4/include  (found version "2.8.50"05:09
shumskicyt93cs_: that's OK, but you obviously haven't build virtuoso backend05:10
shumskis/build/built05:10
cyt93cs_shumski: do i have to build virtuoso backend from source, or could i fullfill the dependency by installing some -dev package?05:11
cyt93cs_shumski: after searching for the virtuoso keyword: I got this http://paste.kde.org/544274/05:12
shumskicyt93cs_: you can with the packages you have, but you need to remove your self-compiled soprano, and then rebuild everything that got built against it05:12
shumskicyt93cs_: kdelibs, etc05:13
cyt93cs_shumski: thanks for the information. I will try to remove the soprano from .kdesrc-buildrc, and rebuild again.05:16
shumskicyt93cs_: or you can build soprano, but with virtuoso backend05:17

Thecaptain2000hi. the graphic login is broken on my system,  to get to use it I need to ask for console login and , once logged in do startx. Is there a way to "reinstall" the graphic login option?08:51
Smurphyyou need to install the kdm part ?08:52
Thecaptain2000not sure, the symptom is the one I described08:53
Thecaptain2000if that were the case, how do I do it?08:53
SmurphyCheck out if kdm is running: $ ps auxw | grep kdm08:54
Smurphyshould return you that the process kdm is running.08:54
SmurphyIf it is not running - it could be it is not running/installed.08:55
SmurphyTo install it, in a console type: sudo apt-get install kdm08:55
Thecaptain2000kdm is already the newest version.08:57
Thecaptain2000is there a way to force a re-install?08:57
Thecaptain2000what happens, to be precise is if I try to log in graphi9cally, something happen, like a terminal windows appear and then I am back at the graphical prompt08:57
Thecaptain2000sorry I had to be more specific08:58
Thecaptain2000to begin with08:58
ussher_Thecaptain2000:  I had a similar issue a while back, tried to find the solution in the logs but cant, so from memory.  there were 2 kdm's in the startup one was from trinity which i never fully got installed or rid of.  remebber having to choose the right kdm from a menu09:02
Thecaptain2000ussher_: tx I will have a look09:05
ussher_sorry its not a very good explanation.09:06
Thecaptain2000althought I never had trinity on my system09:06
ussher_that was me getting annoyed with the activities cashews.  wanted to go back to simpler stuff.09:07
ussher_just a thought though.  the graphical login might be configured to point to he wrong place.  I had to change shells start kdm then come back to the normal one and the desktop ran.09:09
ussher_when i do 'history' it only shows me back to the 800's  if you know a way to get older history, perhaps the commands are back then?09:11

mimeone from another wm, but should be found in the tree. is a fvwm-crystal one, with default acpi recipe13:21
mimeRiddell, i type that u said in konsole, but says permission denied, and added to the script, it just still the ''?'' sign wre temperature should be13:26
mimei get that in konsole after i type that in :   /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp13:27
Riddellmime: I don't know I'm afraid, time to resort to google or mailing lists13:29
mimeyes, im tired of doing it, is that the old recipe links to an old temp archive wich points to another13:30
mimethnx anyway13:30

markitBluesKaj: everything seems ok, I've enabled in muon the check for lts, also for every one... but seems not to find any update14:20

markitBluesKaj: thanks a lot14:24
BluesKajmarkit, why the "-m desktop -f kde"14:25
BluesKaj?14:25
markitI've no idea, I've found googling that your line is for servers, and for desktop you need to specify those two params14:25
markitalso here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades/Kubuntu that you gave me14:25
markitat step 6 you see the screen shot14:25
markitabout what is really doing14:26
BluesKajreally ? I've used the  sudo do-release-upgrade -d, several times without a problem for my desktop14:26
markitwell, now that you know, things will break soon ;P14:26

flametai1So can somebody enlighten me?14:33
flametai1I'm debating on whether I want to use Gnome or KDE, would anyone be willing to explain to me why KDE would be better than Gnome?14:33
hateball!best14:34
ubottuUsually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.14:34
DarthFrogKDE is much more configurable than GNOME, much more a power users environment.14:34
DarthFrogGNOME is for those who don't care about such things.14:34
BluesKajflametai1, you have to try it first . altho if you're coming over from windows, then it's more familiar14:34
SmurphyGNOME is for those who want someone to tell them what and how to do it :)14:35
tsimpsontry both, see what you like14:35
BluesKajflametai1, and DarthFrog and Smurphy are correct14:35
tsimpsonchoice and all that :)14:35
flametai1I understand it's more familiar but I prefer the look of Gnome but like some of the features in KDE lol14:36
flametai1It's such a difficult choice.14:36
DarthFrogBut not a permanent one.  Spend time in both environments and see which one works best for you.14:36
tsimpsonwell there's nothing stopping you from using GNOME/Gtk apps in KDE, or KDE/Qt apps in GNOME14:36
tsimpsonmix and match what you like14:37
BluesKajflametai1, oh , you like animations and cartoons :)14:37
BluesKajjust my opinion of course ...the gnome/unity "look" never appealed to me , all that brown and orange etc14:38
BluesKajbut kde is way more configurable in practically every way , which is the most important aspect, flametai114:40
tsimpsonit's worth noting that you can make KDE look like GNOME or Unity without too much hassle14:41
DarthFrogAlso, it seems that the KDE developers are more interested in extending the capabilities of the desktop metaphor to further empower their users.  GNOME, on the other hand, seems determined to reduce the desktop choices to a simple turning on or off of your computer.14:44
BluesKajDarthFrog, using the MS psychology ..dumb it down for the masses14:48
DarthFrogWell, it worked for them in the past.  :-)  Apple did it better, though.14:48
xmfshello14:49
xmfswhere i can find a .deb for kopete-xfire?14:49
equexi don't mind dumbing things down for the masses, but there should be an 'expert mode' switch that is easy to find. as much as 'classic' desktops needs experts to use them.. i know plenty of noncomputer people who has stumbled across ubuntu 8,9 and 10 that uses it as if it were windows14:50
DarthFrogequex: Hey, if it works for them, so much the better.14:51

goodtimekonversation18:53
yofelkylie: go ahead, someone will answer if they can help you18:53
kylieIt's pretty basic, this is my first project ever.18:53
goodtimeyes we will kylie18:53
kylieWhen appending two files together from separate directories18:53
goodtimeand18:54
goodtime........18:54
BluesKajkonversation is easy to use and configure ...I still use it despite the move to quassel , which is ok but not exactly eye candy18:54
kylieI run the code, which looks like so: http://pastie.org/466966918:54
goodtimetry cd next18:55
kylieI get an error that states18:55
yofelthat'll just create kopies of the files from dir1 in dir218:55
kylie"dir2/dir1/uninteresting.txt: No such file or directory"18:55
goodtimetry cd /"change directory18:55
kylieto where? I'm in the directory that holds both dir1 and dir2.18:55
goodtimecd18:55
goodtimedir18:55
goodtimecd then dir18:56
yofelif you glob for "dir1/*" then f will be dir1/file1, dir1/file2, dir1/file3, etc...18:56
kylieso, just shave the "dir1/*" away?18:56
yofelthus dir2/$f -> dir2/dir1/fileX18:56
goodtimewouldnt hurt kylie18:56
goodtimeyofel: is right18:57
kylieThat is what I was trying to understand, thanks.18:57
goodtimenp18:57
yofelyou could use $(basename $f) which should just leave the filename18:57
goodtimehmmm nice18:57
kyliein place of f?18:57
yofelin place of f yes18:57
kyliehmm, intruiging.18:58
kylieThis is all still a little confusing, but I'll try to work through it now. :P18:58
kylieThanks~18:59

* BluesKaj stays away from doctors ...they want to medicate me for no reason except my age ..."you don't take meds ?" they say to me in disbelief ,I just shake my head ..I don't go looking for something I don't need20:39
kylieIt's like doctors get paid to perscribe medication.20:41
BluesKajCanadian doctors don't overprescribe like American doictors , but they're getting closer20:42
BluesKajdistributors for big pharma20:42
Smo_howdy, how is everyone on this fine day20:43
Smo_no? ok20:44
kylieBefuddled?20:44
BluesKajt-storms here atm ...no BBQ today20:44
Smo_why are you befuddled kylie20:45
kylieWhy should I prefer to use Bash scripting over Python?20:45
Smo_it depends on what you are writing20:46
kylieI'm aware.20:46
Smo_what are you trying to make?20:46
kylieA script that takes two directories with files of the same names and append said similar named files atop of another and put it into a new directory.20:46
Smo_python20:47
kylieI want to.20:48
kylieI love python, but I have to learn Bash20:48
Smo_im taking a class on bash20:48
kylieoh?20:49
Smo_i have a class in 3 hours actually20:49
kylieMind helping me with two lines of code I can't figure out20:49
kylieTWO LINES.20:49
Smo_sure20:49
kylieTWO.20:49
kylieothanks. :x20:49
FloodBotK1kylie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.20:49
kylieI usually do.20:50
kyliehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1187823/20:50
kylieSorry, meant to only do 16 & 1720:51
kylieI asked for help earlier, but I didn't have time to clear up my issue before20:51
Smo_whats the error20:51
Smo_like what is the problem20:51
kylieSorry20:52
kylieAt like 16 & 17, the script is supposed to take files from dir1 and append them over to dir220:52
kyliebut for some reason20:52
kylieit keeps looking for a directory called dir2/dir120:53
Smo_hmm20:53
kylieinstead of transferring things from dir2 to dir120:53
Smo_i got this, gimme a second20:54
kylieAight?20:54
Smo_so it cant find directory dir2? you have no path for it yeah? put tilde slash, i think20:57
Smo_or ./20:59
kylieHmm, that might work.20:59
kylieLet's se.20:59
Smo_OH21:00
Smo_#!/bin/bash21:00
Smo_derp21:00
kylieOH FML.21:00
yofelkylie: you misunderstood me, basename belongs in line 17, not 1621:01
kylieI fixed it21:01
kylieone moment21:01
kylieAllow me to show you21:01
kyliehttp://pastie.org/467024921:01
yofelyeah, that'll work21:02
kylieLemme try it.21:02
yofelnow the question is what you are trying to do21:02
kylieHmm21:03
yofelas here you might as well use cp instead of cat21:03
kylieI need to append files of the same name from different directories together21:03
kylieAnd now I got this error21:03
kyliecat: dir1/dir1: No such file or directory21:03
Smo_you put #!/bin/bash?21:04
kylieYes.21:04
kyliethe hell happened to my code21:04
Smo_did you give dir2 a path?21:04
kylieuno momento21:05
yofellooks like dir1 has no contents21:06
kyliedir1 does have contents21:07
kyliethey are unzipped and I look and they are there and aaahhh21:07
Smo_if you were using python it would tell you exactly what you are doing wrong21:09
Smo_just putting that out there21:09
kylieI know21:09
kyliePython21:10
kyliewould be so much easier for me21:10
=== christopher is now known as CannedOwl
CannedOwlnow this program isn't confusing at all...21:15
kylieMine?21:16
kylieIt's my first, and I'm very befuddled.21:16
kylieI think it shows through.21:16
CannedOwl?21:16
kylieNVM.21:16
CannedOwlConfusion abound with me21:16
kylieWhat program?21:16
CannedOwlQuassel21:16
kylieSo much confusion in you?21:16
CannedOwlYes21:17
CannedOwlIs there anyone here that can help me out with something?21:37
BluesKajCannedOwl, ask away21:38
BarkingFishCannedOwl, sure. What do you need?21:38
CannedOwlI am a new Kubuntu user, so I was trying to install 12.04.1 on my desktop.21:38
CannedOwlThe problem is, it doesn't boot from the cd21:39
CannedOwlunless I do the NoModeSet thing.  I think it might have something to do with drivers for my graphics card (GTX 550 Ti)21:39
CannedOwlAnd when I look for different drivers, I can't find anything.  Someone suggested that I look into the Additional drivers area, but nothing comes up.21:40
BarkingFishThat's quite possible.  When you get to booting, before you actually start to boot, try this - press escape to get to the grub menu, then press e to edit the entry you're booting.21:41
BluesKajCannedOwl, that's an ATI card , correct ?21:41
CannedOwlNo, nVidia21:41
BluesKajoh21:41
BarkingFishI changed a couple of things in my boot setting, which seemed to help - I switched off the splash, set a verbose boot, and set noplymouth too.  The boot started working after that.21:42
BarkingFishbasically, what I run now is a boot with no logo, text only, and it proceeds to pass into kde without incident.21:42
CannedOwlOK, I'll try that.  I wanted to know because I don't want to physically install it if it won't work.  It installed without a hitch on my laptop though...21:42
BluesKajCannedOwl, odd that the there aren't any additional drivers for that nvidia card ..., alt+rf2 , then type jockey21:43
BluesKajalt +f221:44
BarkingFishthe options you need to set are  nosplash  verbose  noplymouth   which may just do the trick for you, you will see a couple of entries in the boot line regarding a splash and plymouth, so either edit them to what I suggested, or remove them and type the extra bits in21:44
CannedOwlI didn't see any..21:44
CannedOwlOK then21:44
BarkingFishyou could also add nomodeset to the boot line too21:45
CannedOwlIt booted when I did nomodeset, but the resolution was stuck at 1024x768 I believe21:45
CannedOwland saw no options ofr 1600x90021:45
CannedOwlThanks for the help, I'll try that once I copy that down onto my laptop21:47
BarkingFishCannedOwl, i'm pretty sure you can edit your grub config to add those lines in at boot, so you don't have to edit the boot line everytime you start up, but I can't recall how - it's a long time since I did mine :)21:48
BarkingFishBluesKaj, any ideas?21:48
CannedOwlAlso, where might I find proper nVidia drivers after I install Kubuntu?21:52
BluesKajCannedOwl, run , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , in a terminal. then reboot ...if you don't have any luck . follow BarkingFish's sugestions , that graphics card should work withe nvidia-current driver , since nvidai lists the same driver for linux on it's site21:52
CannedOwlhmm... I remember trying that when I was booting from the CD.  I'll do that once it gets installed21:53
CannedOwlnow I shall log on with my laptop21:54
BluesKajCannedOwl, no need to reinstall the OS21:54
CannedOwlokay then21:54
BluesKajjust run the nvidia install c9ommand and reboot21:55
CannedOwlalright then21:55
BluesKajoh wel21:55
BluesKajok good21:55
CannedOwlI'll get the thing on there and come back if I have any other questions.  Thanks for the help!21:56
