[00:08] morning guys - anyone awake, I'm in need of help, thanks to my fiddling around with stuff I didn't fully understand. [00:09] I installed the proprietary driver for my nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card using Jockey-KDE, and now my monitor on the inbuilt graphics card won't go above 50Hz resolution, which is way too low for me. [00:09] I'm a photosensitive epileptic, and at that level, I can clearly see the refresh. I need to get my monitor back to using whatever driver was there prior, but I don't know how to get rid of the driver I just installed :( [00:10] i'm using a GUI at the moment, but I had to pop a spare PCI graphics card in my PC so I could use the display [00:11] can anyone please help me? Ideally, I need to get my monitor to refresh at 75Hz or higher - on the old driver, it would go to 80Hz. [00:36] sorry guys - lost my connection for a bit. Can anyone please, please help me fix the problem I pasted up in here about 20 minutes ago? [00:37] At the moment, I'm on the verge of stripping the whole of kubuntu down and reinstalling. If I can't fix it, and i can't get help to fix it, i reset and start again :) [00:38] i'm not gonna have unnecessary junk in my machine - a second graphics card is junk when there's one already built in :) [00:39] sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current will probably do it [00:40] excellent :) thank you.

[06:31] shadeslayer 4.8.5, kubuntu 12.04 [06:33] shadeslayer: I'm using a laptop, it got 2 monitors connected at work, mabye something get confused when I'm having the internal monitor while at home, but 2 external monitors at work (?) [06:33] CosmicB: could you try 4.9.2 from the PPA? Maybe your bug is fixed there? [06:34] shadeslayer: yeah, I could always try that. [06:34] if it's not, please report a bug on bugs.kde.org :) [06:35] I did try 4.9.2 before the weekend, but after upgrading to 4.9.2 i wanted to install kubuntu-full for some reason, it wouldn't install because of dependencie problems, som I ended up downgrading againn [06:35] shadeslayer: yeah, will do :) [06:49] oh my [06:49] CosmicB: downgrading isn't really supported [06:49] * shadeslayer looks why kubuntu-full isn't installable [06:50] hm, looks fine here [06:51] shadeslayer: and you've got 4.9.2 in kubuntu 12.04 ? [06:52] yus [06:53] shadeslayer downgrade went fine with ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && apt-get autoremove [06:53] shadeslayer, but I'm gonna try a new upgrade, 4.9.2 was looking intereseting the 15 or so minutes I ran it [06:54] hmm ... well ... I'm just saying that downgrading isn't really supported ;) [06:54] shadeslayer :p [06:56] so you can downgrade, but you might encounter unexpected behaviour [06:56] su [06:56] $3ssEnc3 [06:56] fuck [06:56] there goes my favorite password [06:57] !language > CosmicB [06:57] CosmicB, please see my private message [06:57] *cough* language [06:57] CosmicB: please watch your language [06:58] yeah yeah, no offense ment. it's not everyday I wreck my pass by sending it into a public irc channel [06:59] that is exactly the reason why I don't use terminal irc clients like irssi :P [07:00] shadeslayer: I'm not, I'm using konversation [07:00] ah [07:00] in which case, simply bad luck [07:01] but I've been in gnome since around 2004, and in unity for the last year or so. haven't been in kde for a long time, it takes a while to get utsed to those small diferences in how it behaves :p [07:04] * CosmicB is upgrading to 4.9.2 === yofel_ is now known as yofel === paolo is now known as faLUCE === david is now known as Guest59826 [09:56] is there a way I can set up KMail to read the HTML and display the messages with all the html content? === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 [10:12] ovidiu-florin: it should be configurable [10:12] shadeslayer: I foud a setting, to add an HTML toolbar [10:13] wich is very hard to click on, and by default it goes to plain text [10:13] how can I set the default view to be HTML [10:13] ?

[12:45] It's an ATI 6950 [13:05] hi! how can i open a .dmp file with linux? Is there a tool for it? [13:13] FlashDeluxe, is that a compressed file , if so try unp [13:16] BluesKaj its a .dmp file, created by thunderbird (its crashing all the time) unp doesn`t know the format :-( [13:17] what is the actual mimetype? file whatever.dmp [13:17] FlashDeluxe: ^ [13:17] an extension does not a file make [13:18] MDMP crash report data [13:18] hateball ^ [13:19] Well what do you expect to do with it? [13:19] it's not a human readable crash log [13:19] soo i guessed there was a program which makes it human readable? [13:21] .dmp files are windows dump files according google , very hard to read , unless you use visual studio [13:22] BluesKaj i guess with windows you got to use "windows debugging tools" thats the program where i read out minidumps, created by windows. But i thought there was soemthing for linux, too [13:24] FlashDeluxe, there might be a method , but like windows .exe files there's a problem using them in linux , I believe [13:24] from what I'm reading dmp is for windows dumps [13:24] not sure if there'll be a tool to parse them in Linux [13:25] Maybe there is no sense in reading windows dumps in linux^^ [13:27] probably not [13:27] wine , maybe ? === floown_ is now known as floown [13:28] well ... if windows has a tool to parse them, you could install wine, run the tool and read them [13:28] but imo that's just so much hassle >.> [13:34] yeah , I avoid wine , sooner deal with windows files on the windows drive [13:39] if anyone is interested: i could open it with winedbg [13:41] BBL [13:49] does any body know what the status is for synaptic drivers in 12.10 [13:49] danni: There was an update just now [13:49] I found a package that lets synaptiks run [13:49] ( for kde-config-touchpad ) [13:50] but there are options missing and without those options [13:50] 12.10 is unusable for me [13:50] (well without starting syndaemon from the command line) [13:51] two things really no option to disable touchpad while typing [13:52] and 2) no global shortcut for enabling disabling touchpad [13:53] are fixes for any of these planned before release? [13:54] I would suggest reporting bugs and adding them to the ISO QA tracker [13:54] that gives developers more visibility about pending issues :) [13:54] danni: There is a unity indicator for disabling the touchpad, this also offers a keyboard shortcut. [13:54] relevant URL : http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ [13:57] using KDE here [13:57] i don't think a unity indicator is going to be much help [13:57] danni: It will, indicators work fine under kde. [13:57] ok [13:59] does anybody know the rational behind the removed functionality? [13:59] just checking out xchat on windows [13:59] lordievader: do you know the name of the package? [14:00] danni: touchpad-indicator, not sure if you needed a ppa for it.. [14:02] akouei kanas malakas? [14:02] What package are you guys use for PPTP vpn connection? Does network-manager-kde work? I can't make it work [14:03] of: do you have the backported package from kubuntu backports? [14:04] I recently uploaded a new nm-kde which had support for vpn's and openconnect [14:04] I installed kde 4.9 (Recent update) [14:05] How can i upgrade the network-manager? [14:05] can you check if nm-kde is up to date? [14:05] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-networkmanagement network-manager-pptp [14:08] already newest version.... I installed the kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu [14:11] hm [14:11] of: not sure then, can you report a bug on bugs.kde.org ? [14:13] maybe it gets solved with new nm-pptp? [14:16] nah [14:16] I meant, maybe it's solved with nm-pptp 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu1 :) [14:17] but I can't be sure [14:21] poustaria oloi [14:23] is it possible to use dkms to patch a driver already in the kernel?

I can not watch video (I can hear audio) with Dragon player (I have no other player installed) it looks for gstreamer package, but can't install it [18:16] when I try to manually install, it needs various other packages that can not be installed, same if I just try to install ffmpeg package [18:20] brohan: Please try: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer [18:21] Will do, but I get a can't get lock message, even though I don't see any package programs open, update etc. [18:22] OH didn't put sudo in first [18:23] Here is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1285576/ [18:24] brohan: For the java issue, can you pastebin result of: update-alternatives --list java [18:25] /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java [18:25] /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java [18:25] !pastebin [18:25] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [18:25] genii-around: I'd say 2 line pastes are acceptable :) [18:25] I had figured 2 was a limit [18:26] shadeslayer: Yes, I was expecting more to come actually.... [18:26] as a general rule, I find 3 lines to be an acceptable limit [18:26] genii-around here is what is interesting. On a website I have to use a screencast recorder that is a plugin, that website says no Java detected. I go to the maker of the plugin screenr, and can record a screencast just fine, no error. HOWEVER if I go to the screenr get java page it says no java detected [18:27] even though on that same site it works fine. That baffles me (which baffling me in Linux doesn't take much) [18:28] java is fun [18:28] I can go back to the ffmpeg issue (and dragon player) and post screenshots of what happens when trying to play a video and trying to rectify it [18:28] brohan: what's the video type you're trying to play? [18:28] work, afk 5-7 minutes, sorry [18:28] .mov. It says I need th h.264 decoder, no surprise there [18:29] right [18:29] the surprise is when I try to get the recommeded package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [18:29] do you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed? [18:29] mhmm? [18:29] package could not be initialized, config broken [18:29] hmph [18:30] could you pastebin the error? [18:30] yes the plugins-ugly is installed [18:30] the error comes in the form of screenshots, I will take and post sequencially [18:31] well ... I just need the output of what happens when you try and install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [18:31] I tried that from the package manager, not command line [18:31] how do I do it command line style? [18:31] can you try via command line? [18:32] sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [18:32] from GUI: [18:32] The "gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade: [18:32] or libavformat53, but is not installable [18:32] or libavcodec53, but is not installable [18:32] brohan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:32] ok, 3 is the limit [18:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1285605/ is the result [18:34] installing libavcodec53 give me the error it depends on libx264-120 but it is not installable [18:35] what happens when you try and install libx264-120 [18:35] searching for libx264-120 in the package manager returns no results BUT I do have libx264-123 installed [18:36] odd [18:36] brohan: are you sure you have universe enabled? [18:36] universe? [18:36] !find libx264-123 [18:36] Package/file libx264-123 does not exist in precise [18:36] * shadeslayer doesn't see a libx264-123 on his precise install [18:36] !find libx264-123 quantal === rafa is now known as uomo_bonga [18:37] Found: libx264-123 [18:37] uhhh [18:37] brohan: are you on quantal? [18:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1285611/ [18:37] I believe so. I did a fresh install when it was BETA 1 [18:37] that was not for you :P [18:38] I had Ubuntu 12.04 giving me issues from too many desktop installs, so I wiped clean and installed fresh with Kubunutu 12.10 Beta 1 live cd [18:38] Ideally libavformat53 should depend on libx264-123 [18:39] also [18:39] #ubuntu+1 [18:40] try the beta channel? [18:41] or wait till tomorrow when it is fully released :-) [18:41] please ask in #ubuntu+1 since Quantal isn't really released ;) [18:41] plus, no way for me to help since I don't have a quantal system to debug [18:42] Shouldn't Quantal be discussed in #ubuntu+1? [18:43] Okay. I will ask there. Same with my Java issues? [18:43] Nvm I can't read... [18:43] Isn't the official release date of 12.10 tomorrow? [18:43] dunno, can't really say anything about java [18:43] Okay. [18:44] brohan: yes, and until then, you use #ubuntu+1 since it's not been released yet [18:44] I really do appreciate your help [18:44] okay [18:44] TTYL! [18:45] Didn't go to +1 so probably we'll see them here tomorrow [18:46] Java? +1? [18:49] genii-around: heh yeah [18:49] but I still won't have quantal, so still won't be able to help him :P [18:50] Wizard: #ubuntu+1 which is the channel for 12.10 [18:50] :) [18:51] Quantal panics on my powerbook, so I won't risk updating. [18:51] LTS is fair enough. [18:52] I'll just see when I'm going to upgrade, I think somewhere tommorow I'll update my desktop to see how it is, and later (perhaps) update my laptop. [18:53] Tommorow is the issue date? [18:53] luckily there is weekend coming up, update on Saturday, fix it on Sunday :) [18:53] :D [18:53] Hehe [18:54] there are bound the be some issues... I'll wait with update for sure [18:55] My desktop is just a machine to ssh into my server (where this irc client is running), so I don't really care if the update breaks the machine... [18:56] Well... I'm sure ssh will work... what I'm afraid about are: ati drivers, flash on x64, ect... [18:57] i have to reinstall anyway, since i'm on 32bit now, but need more ram... [18:58] piotrn1: Ubuntu supports himem. [18:58] At least works for me. [18:58] hmm [18:58] gota read about it [18:59] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [19:00] :P [19:00] thanks [19:00] there is a PAE limit, though, if you want something, like, 8GB of mem, go 64bit [19:00] (just saying0 [19:00] how about having graphisc drivers compiled against pae kernel / no problems there ? [19:01] 8gb is where i will go for sure, 16 if my motherboard can handle it../ [19:01] sony says it cant, but gona check anyways.. [19:02] piotrn1: Dunno, i've never cared about gfx drivers. [19:02] piotrn1, GFX usually work with PAE [19:02] Wizard: thanks anyways. :) [19:02] if it doesn't file a kernel bug [19:02] LordOfTime: :) good to know, thanks [19:02] the 32bit vs. 32bitPAE kernels arent too substantially different [19:03] and drivers end up as part of the kernel eventually, so... [19:03] *shurgs* [19:03] :) [19:03] tbh... [19:03] 95% of the stuff I do is CLI anyways [19:03] so i don't *need* to have a GUI ;P [19:04] And what about porn? [19:04] hehehe [19:04] asci graphisc :) [19:04] um... [19:04] i think that's against the 'family friendly' atmosphere dude... [19:04] *shrugs* [19:04] not my call though [19:05] Ok, sorry.

[20:13] And new bugs. [20:13] You can fix or report them. ;) [20:14] hmm [20:14] i'm wondering cause i'd be going from LTS to regular releases if there would be problems [20:14] i once had a bad upgrade and i think it was cause i had to do that [20:14] is there a list of the updated packages? [20:15] You can check wiki. [20:15] Technically, all packages in the system will be upgraded.

[20:17] Maybe newer gimp is there. [20:17] hmm no, i'm not sure where to do that. i'm looking for the version that allows for single window mode [20:17] kinda not very important :P [20:19] how do I share a folder with windows computers?

[20:22] yea [20:22] hmmm [20:22] see how when you hover you get a green + [20:22] dont right click on that or it just turns to a - [20:22] in list view?

[20:26] hmmm [20:27] nope drop down is disabled [20:27] maybe somthing else is borked [20:27] i only ever just allow everyone, my network is just in my house so pretty insecure [20:27] can you not click those drop downs? [20:27] nope greyed out [20:27] did you click the top box (share with samba) [20:28] above name there [20:28] i think that is what allows the rest of that box [20:28] ok I see full control drop down now [20:29] I think my theme may be making it difficult to see [20:29] * dahlia is legally blind and has UI use difficulties... [20:29] yea i know mine does...i work at night so i try and keep everything dark [20:29] Hi everybody. [20:30] hi [20:30] YAY it works now, TYVM oneadvent :) [20:30] no prob dahlia glad you got it! [20:37] hmmm it wont let me share my home folder [20:39] Do you have samba installed? [20:39] ya I can share subfolders but not my home folder [20:41] hmm maybe it is taking a while to do it all [20:41] i mean that would be much bigger than a subfolder [20:41] never tried to do the home folder but can't think of why you COULDN'T [20:42] I used to share / which is what I really want [20:42] oneadvent: Because it has it permission set to 600. [20:43] Or 700... === david is now known as Guest11840 === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] [21:32] lol i stepped away lordievader and dahlia, i am sure you can't share /, and really that isn't a great idea to do it. you would have to run samba as root and that would be bad bad === raindog is now known as Guest42413 [22:37] Hi, is there a command to re-install Java? Mine is messing up. === hackwater is now known as hackwater|AFK [22:43] Ramtron: Depends on what java you're using. But probably sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-7-jre [22:44] darn can you say that again? i clicked clear instead of copy [22:44] second time today [22:44] just the command, if you will [22:45] Ramtron: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-7-jre or put 6 instead of 7 there [22:45] Perfect, thank you [22:50] question for kuuntu is there any mac address changer program? [22:53]
