[03:32] !ask [03:32] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience === ceradon-away is now known as euphoria [03:36] 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/Packages [03:36] 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 update [03:41] nezumi_: 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 problem [03:41] indeed, https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/wacom-plus has no precise packages [03:48] thanks it worked out just great. Anybody knows working ppa for wacom tablet or place I can look for it? [03:49] https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/wacom does have precise packages .. but do you really need those, if it is working already? [03:50] nezumi_: This really is one of those times where "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" really applies. [03:51] It wasnt working, I fixed it but problem is I dont remember how :D [03:52] Go on to something else. [03:52] 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? [03:53] Your call but most folks would probably answer yes, unless they had a good reason not to. [03:53] Indeed. [03:54] 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 wrong [03:54] hate to be that newbie - sorry ;) [03:56] ok, I see it is updating so... lets see what will happen. I feel stupid for that last "question", forget it and thanks for help [03:57] Don'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] nezumi_, thank you for asking, now you can pass pn good info. [04:39] 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 Backend [04:39] After searching for a while and installed some packages, but I still cannot find which is the correct package name... [04:51] <[Relic]> is 4.9 considered pretty stable or would I be better off waiting for when it is put into the normal repositories? [04:56] cyt93cs_: did you compile soprano yourself, or are using kubuntu packages? [04:57] [Relic]: what would be normal reposotories? [05:03] <[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) [05:05] shumski: I use kubuntu package: libsoprano-dev libsoprano4 soprano-daemon [05:06] [Relic]: 4.9 will/is available in backports PPA or new Kubuntu version (12.10), not with 'plain' Kubuntu 12.04 [05:07] cyt93cs_: well, that should be OK [05:07] cyt93cs_: do you have full log? [05:07] shumski: sure, wait a moment [05:08] shumski: http://paste.kde.org/544268/ [05:09] cyt93cs_: you built soprano from master branch: Found Soprano: /home/yenting/kde4/include (found version "2.8.50" [05:10] cyt93cs_: that's OK, but you obviously haven't build virtuoso backend [05:10] s/build/built [05:11] shumski: do i have to build virtuoso backend from source, or could i fullfill the dependency by installing some -dev package? [05:12] shumski: after searching for the virtuoso keyword: I got this http://paste.kde.org/544274/ [05:12] cyt93cs_: you can with the packages you have, but you need to remove your self-compiled soprano, and then rebuild everything that got built against it [05:13] cyt93cs_: kdelibs, etc [05:16] shumski: thanks for the information. I will try to remove the soprano from .kdesrc-buildrc, and rebuild again. [05:17] cyt93cs_: or you can build soprano, but with virtuoso backend === pablo__ is now known as pablo__620 [05:18] cyt93cs_: you need unixodbc-dev for that to build [05:20] shumski: thank you very much! build time! [05:20] cyt93cs_: no problem ;-) [05:24] cyt93cs_: it needs to look like this http://paste.kde.org/544286/ (for virtuso backend to get built) === em is now known as em_ === em_ is now known as em === RamchandraApte is now known as Guest78875 === RamchandraApte_ is now known as RamchandraApte === dmytro_poplavski is now known as pdima [07:27] whats "AkonadiTray" [07:31] ok I got what is it but is it have to be ON? It says that Akonadi server has been stopped.. [08:51] hi. 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? [08:52] you need to install the kdm part ? [08:53] not sure, the symptom is the one I described [08:53] if that were the case, how do I do it? [08:54] Check out if kdm is running: $ ps auxw | grep kdm [08:54] should return you that the process kdm is running. [08:55] If it is not running - it could be it is not running/installed. [08:55] To install it, in a console type: sudo apt-get install kdm [08:57] kdm is already the newest version. [08:57] is there a way to force a re-install? [08:57] what 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 prompt [08:58] sorry I had to be more specific [08:58] to begin with [09:02] 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 menu [09:05] ussher_: tx I will have a look [09:06] sorry its not a very good explanation. [09:06] althought I never had trinity on my system [09:07] that was me getting annoyed with the activities cashews. wanted to go back to simpler stuff. [09:09] 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. [09:11] 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?

[13:21] find /sys/ -name temp maybe [13:21] one from another wm, but should be found in the tree. is a fvwm-crystal one, with default acpi recipe [13:26] Riddell, i type that u said in konsole, but says permission denied, and added to the script, it just still the ''?'' sign wre temperature should be [13:27] i get that in konsole after i type that in : /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp [13:29] mime: I don't know I'm afraid, time to resort to google or mailing lists [13:30] yes, im tired of doing it, is that the old recipe links to an old temp archive wich points to another [13:30] thnx anyway [13:30] mime: You can also try asking in #ubuntu, as the problem is likely not confined to just Kubuntu [13:31] ok [13:31] i cant believe no one had this problem with the popular default acpi recipe [13:56] hi, I want to upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04, I've updated the system 11.04, then rebooted , then alt+f2 and enter "update-manager -d" but seems that the command is not present [13:56] even if Iì've the update-manager-core and -kde installed [13:56] what is wrong?

[14:25] I've no idea, I've found googling that your line is for servers, and for desktop you need to specify those two params [14:25] also here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades/Kubuntu that you gave me [14:25] at step 6 you see the screen shot [14:26] about what is really doing [14:26] really ? I've used the sudo do-release-upgrade -d, several times without a problem for my desktop [14:26] well, now that you know, things will break soon ;P [14:27] mmm I've some scaring error messages on the terminal, I do cross my fingers [14:28] markit, my upgrade went very smoothly from 11.10 to 12.04 [14:28] but I did sudo -s [14:28] and then the command [14:28] instead of sudo command [14:28] ahh root [14:29] yep [14:29] better abort the upgrade? [14:30] dunno, never tried it with sudo -s [14:30] mm same errors, so maybe did not minded [14:30] (about /var/cache/kdecache-user being own by uid 0 instead of 1000) [14:31] markit, yeah , I've seen that error , just ignore it [14:31] there is also a "mirror not found" [14:31] I close my eyes also ;P [14:31] heh [14:33] So can somebody enlighten me? [14:33] I'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? [14:34] !best [14:34] Usually, 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] KDE is much more configurable than GNOME, much more a power users environment. [14:34] GNOME is for those who don't care about such things. [14:34] flametai1, you have to try it first . altho if you're coming over from windows, then it's more familiar [14:35] GNOME is for those who want someone to tell them what and how to do it :) [14:35] try both, see what you like [14:35] flametai1, and DarthFrog and Smurphy are correct [14:35] choice and all that :) [14:36] I understand it's more familiar but I prefer the look of Gnome but like some of the features in KDE lol [14:36] It's such a difficult choice. [14:36] But not a permanent one. Spend time in both environments and see which one works best for you. [14:36] well there's nothing stopping you from using GNOME/Gtk apps in KDE, or KDE/Qt apps in GNOME [14:37] mix and match what you like [14:37] flametai1, oh , you like animations and cartoons :) [14:38] just my opinion of course ...the gnome/unity "look" never appealed to me , all that brown and orange etc [14:40] but kde is way more configurable in practically every way , which is the most important aspect, flametai1 [14:41] it's worth noting that you can make KDE look like GNOME or Unity without too much hassle [14:44] Also, 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. [14:48] DarthFrog, using the MS psychology ..dumb it down for the masses [14:48] Well, it worked for them in the past. :-) Apple did it better, though. [14:49] hello [14:49] where i can find a .deb for kopete-xfire? [14:50] i 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 windows [14:51] equex: Hey, if it works for them, so much the better. [14:52] xmfs, http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Xfire+for+Kopete+%28kopete-xfire%29?content=124073 [14:54] BluesKaj, thankyou but i was not able to compile the source :/ [14:54] xmfs, it's aplugin so i doubt there's a deb [14:58] BluesKaj, but there are no binaries for download [14:59] xmfs, did you install build-essential for compiling apps from source ? [15:02] xmfs, looking easy > http://code.google.com/p/kopete-xfire/wiki/CompilingFromSource [15:03] i have cmake und gcc installed [15:04] not good enough.

[18:52] runs real smooth on this pc too [18:52] snappy [18:52] welcome to the kubuntu realm :) [18:52] ty :) [18:53] i like the client for irc too [18:53] konversation [18:53] kylie: go ahead, someone will answer if they can help you [18:53] It's pretty basic, this is my first project ever. [18:53] yes we will kylie [18:53] When appending two files together from separate directories [18:54] and [18:54] ........ [18:54] konversation is easy to use and configure ...I still use it despite the move to quassel , which is ok but not exactly eye candy [18:54] I run the code, which looks like so: http://pastie.org/4669669 [18:55] try cd next [18:55] I get an error that states [18:55] that'll just create kopies of the files from dir1 in dir2 [18:55] "dir2/dir1/uninteresting.txt: No such file or directory" [18:55] try cd /"change directory [18:55] to where? I'm in the directory that holds both dir1 and dir2. [18:55] cd [18:55] dir [18:56] cd then dir [18:56] if you glob for "dir1/*" then f will be dir1/file1, dir1/file2, dir1/file3, etc... [18:56] so, just shave the "dir1/*" away? [18:56] thus dir2/$f -> dir2/dir1/fileX [18:56] wouldnt hurt kylie [18:57] yofel: is right [18:57] That is what I was trying to understand, thanks. [18:57] np [18:57] you could use $(basename $f) which should just leave the filename [18:57] hmmm nice [18:57] in place of f? [18:57] in place of f yes [18:58] hmm, intruiging. [18:58] This is all still a little confusing, but I'll try to work through it now. :P [18:59] Thanks~ [18:59] http://khanacademy.desk.com/ [18:59] this is soooo cool === raindog is now known as Guest2802 === brendan_ is now known as NicolasCage === NicolasCage is now known as NicolasCage_ [20:30] Evening all :) [20:30] Hallo [20:33] hey BarkingFish:) [20:33] hi kylie [20:35] BarkingFish, how did your test go ? [20:36] won't know until friday :) [20:36] What sort of test? [20:36] medical examination :) [20:37] Ahh~ [20:39] * 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 need [20:41] It's like doctors get paid to perscribe medication. [20:42] Canadian doctors don't overprescribe like American doictors , but they're getting closer [20:42] distributors for big pharma [20:43] howdy, how is everyone on this fine day [20:44] no? ok [20:44] Befuddled? [20:44] t-storms here atm ...no BBQ today [20:45] why are you befuddled kylie [20:45] Why should I prefer to use Bash scripting over Python? [20:46] it depends on what you are writing [20:46] I'm aware. [20:46] what are you trying to make? [20:46] A 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. [20:47] python [20:48] I want to. [20:48] I love python, but I have to learn Bash [20:48] im taking a class on bash [20:49] oh? [20:49] i have a class in 3 hours actually [20:49] Mind helping me with two lines of code I can't figure out [20:49] TWO LINES. [20:49] sure [20:49] TWO. [20:49] othanks. :x [20:49] kylie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:50] I usually do. [20:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187823/ [20:51] Sorry, meant to only do 16 & 17 [20:51] I asked for help earlier, but I didn't have time to clear up my issue before [20:51] whats the error [20:51] like what is the problem [20:52] Sorry [20:52] At like 16 & 17, the script is supposed to take files from dir1 and append them over to dir2 [20:52] but for some reason [20:53] it keeps looking for a directory called dir2/dir1 [20:53] hmm [20:53] instead of transferring things from dir2 to dir1 [20:54] i got this, gimme a second [20:54] Aight? [20:57] so it cant find directory dir2? you have no path for it yeah? put tilde slash, i think [20:59] or ./ [20:59] Hmm, that might work. [20:59] Let's se. [21:00] OH [21:00] #!/bin/bash [21:00] derp [21:00] OH FML. [21:01] kylie: you misunderstood me, basename belongs in line 17, not 16 [21:01] I fixed it [21:01] one moment [21:01] Allow me to show you [21:01] http://pastie.org/4670249 [21:02] yeah, that'll work [21:02] Lemme try it. [21:02] now the question is what you are trying to do [21:03] Hmm [21:03] as here you might as well use cp instead of cat [21:03] I need to append files of the same name from different directories together [21:03] And now I got this error [21:03] cat: dir1/dir1: No such file or directory [21:04] you put #!/bin/bash? [21:04] Yes. [21:04] the hell happened to my code [21:04] did you give dir2 a path? [21:05] uno momento [21:06] looks like dir1 has no contents [21:07] dir1 does have contents [21:07] they are unzipped and I look and they are there and aaahhh [21:09] if you were using python it would tell you exactly what you are doing wrong [21:09] just putting that out there [21:09] I know [21:10] Python [21:10] would be so much easier for me === christopher is now known as CannedOwl [21:15] now this program isn't confusing at all... [21:16] Mine? [21:16] It's my first, and I'm very befuddled. [21:16] I think it shows through. [21:16] ? [21:16] NVM. [21:16] Confusion abound with me [21:16] What program? [21:16] Quassel [21:16] So much confusion in you? [21:17] Yes [21:37] Is there anyone here that can help me out with something? [21:38] CannedOwl, ask away [21:38] CannedOwl, sure. What do you need? [21:38] I am a new Kubuntu user, so I was trying to install 12.04.1 on my desktop. [21:39] The problem is, it doesn't boot from the cd [21:39] unless I do the NoModeSet thing. I think it might have something to do with drivers for my graphics card (GTX 550 Ti) [21:40] And 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. [21:41] That'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] CannedOwl, that's an ATI card , correct ? [21:41] No, nVidia [21:41] oh [21:42] I 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] basically, what I run now is a boot with no logo, text only, and it proceeds to pass into kde without incident. [21:42] OK, 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... [21:43] CannedOwl, odd that the there aren't any additional drivers for that nvidia card ..., alt+rf2 , then type jockey [21:44] alt +f2 [21:44] the 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 in [21:44] I didn't see any.. [21:44] OK then [21:45] you could also add nomodeset to the boot line too [21:45] It booted when I did nomodeset, but the resolution was stuck at 1024x768 I believe [21:45] and saw no options ofr 1600x900 [21:47] Thanks for the help, I'll try that once I copy that down onto my laptop [21:48] CannedOwl, 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] BluesKaj, any ideas? [21:52] Also, where might I find proper nVidia drivers after I install Kubuntu? [21:52] CannedOwl, 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 site [21:53] hmm... I remember trying that when I was booting from the CD. I'll do that once it gets installed [21:54] now I shall log on with my laptop [21:54] CannedOwl, no need to reinstall the OS [21:54] okay then [21:55] just run the nvidia install c9ommand and reboot [21:55] alright then [21:55] oh wel [21:55] ok good [21:56] I'll get the thing on there and come back if I have any other questions.
