| NaN123 | a question! | 00:33 |
| dj_segfault | Hi. I'm trying to print from one kubutnu 12.04 box (A) to another.(B). B sees the printer, and I had no problems adding it, but when I try to print a test page, it says "Printer FOO may not be connected." every few seconds. The printer is connected to A and works fine. AFAICT, CUPS is set up to accept jobs from everyone on system A. What can I check out to diagnose this? | 00:47 |
| xixor | printing.. in linux? lol. | 00:49 |
| dj_segfault | xixor: Thanks for the vote of confidence ;) | 00:54 |
| dj_segfault | In the document status the status just stays "Processing" | 00:55 |
| vadrao | Can any body let me know any backup utility for kde? | 01:55 |
| DarthFrog | vadrao: rdiff-backup, kbackup | 01:56 |
| vadrao | DarthFrog: Thanks. Does any of it do incremental backups and file versioning ? | 01:57 |
| DarthFrog | yes. rdiff-backup | 01:57 |
| DarthFrog | vadrao: You can find more from "apt-cache search backup | less" from the command line. | 01:57 |
| vadrao | DarthFrog: That is great. I will give it a try. Guess rdiff-backup does not have any simple gui? | 01:59 |
| DarthFrog | Don't know, sorry. | 01:59 |
| DarthFrog | I use plain rsync. :-) | 01:59 |
| DarthFrog | Or CloneZilla. | 01:59 |
| vadrao | I was also thinking about rsync. May be I have to take a plunge :) | 02:01 |
| DarthFrog | rsync rocks! :-) Rdiff-backup is based on rsync. | 02:01 |
| vadrao | You use automated scripts for rsync? or issue commands individually | 02:02 |
| DarthFrog | Both. | 02:02 |
| DarthFrog | Depends upon what I want to do. | 02:02 |
| vadrao | Great thanks. I am tired of tired of things not having KDE frontend :) | 02:03 |
| DarthFrog | Then kbackup will be your onion. | 02:04 |
| vadrao | Kbackup just creates file archives of the folders | 02:06 |
| vadrao | does not do any version control and all | 02:07 |
| vadrao | from the kbackup homepage "It can use tar or afio to create the archives. It can even compress using gzip." | 02:08 |

| xixor | I know this isn't #vbox, but I am having trouble getting a VM to autostart when my system boots. I have registered the VM, set --autostart-enabled on, but it won't start on boot. After booting, if I run: sudo service vboxautostart-service start, it seems to run fine. Right now I am thinking that the /etc/init.d/vboxautostart-service script isn't started by the sudo root user when the system starts up? Or that script isn't set to start up by d | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | Graf_Westerholt, usually when I'm not at my pc , I'll mark myself "away" | 13:42 |
| Graf_Westerholt | :) | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | It's good to know that the nouveau is buggy on some nvidia cards , I wasn't aware that it was and I've been recommending it's use thinking it was problem free, Graf_Westerholt | 13:44 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Me, too. | 13:45 |
| xixor | for example, I used this command to enable the init.d scrit: sudo update-rc.d vboxautostart-service defaults 99 10 | 13:45 |
| Graf_Westerholt | My next problem is the „suspend to ram“. :) Linux goes to suspend to ram, but the PC keeps running, means the CPU fan is running but the hard drives are of. I cannot wake it up, I have to do a reset. | 13:46 |
| Graf_Westerholt | *off | 13:47 |
| lordievader | xixor: Isn't that command without the "99 10"? | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | xixor, perhaps set the script in system settings> startup & shutdown | 13:47 |
| lordievader | xixor: Ah never mind. | 13:48 |
| xixor | BluesKaj: I'd like it to run on system start, not when I log into KDE, that area will run the scripts when I log on to kde, right? | 13:48 |
| lordievader | xixor: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-manage-services-with-update-rc.d | 13:48 |
| BluesKaj | Graf_Westerholt, are you trying to shutdown ? , if so there's a small^ beside the red shutdown button | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | click that | 13:49 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, I am not stupid ;) | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | xixor, then your run level should be set for the script , but not sure how that works anymore | 13:50 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, Kubuntu does go to suspend to RAM. But does not finish it. | 13:51 |
| xixor | BluesKaj: Yes.. for instance, there is a script S20vboxautostart-service -> /init.d/vboxautostart-service in /etc/rc5.d | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | Graf_Westerholt, not stupid of course , but I was getting the suspend to ram when clicking the shudown | 13:52 |
| lordievader | xixor: What is in the /etc/init.d/vboxautostart-service ? | 13:52 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, no that's all ok. If I click shutdown is shuts down and the PC is off. | 13:53 |
| xixor | lordievader : It is a script provided by virtualbox to auto start virtual machines | 13:53 |
| lordievader | xixor: Yes but what is in it, perhaps it is waiting for something. | 13:54 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, not here , I get suspend to ram , I have to click on the the little ^ to shutdown | 13:55 |
| xixor | What user do run-level 5 scripts run as? Do they run as root? | 13:55 |
| lordievader | xixor: Yes. | 13:55 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, how did you do that? I like to switch Hibernat and shutdown. | 13:55 |
| xixor | lordievader: When I run: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxautostart-service start so it seems to work | 13:56 |
| xixor | lordievader: I think that a problem might be that virtualbox creates a database of VMs for each user, and you have to register the database. Since there is no root user, it can't find the database when the system boots. However, when I sudo as root, it somehow finds the database I made for root through sudo | 13:57 |
| lordievader | xixor: Login as root (sudo -i) and run VBoxManage list vms | 13:58 |
| lordievader | err vboxmanage* | 13:58 |
| xixor | lordievader: Oh, neat, I didn't know you could actually log in as root | 13:59 |
| xixor | lordievader: I thought there was "no" root user the way it was setup with sudo | 13:59 |
| lordievader | xixor: There is a root user, but it is disabled, you can not login with username root. su root will error. | 14:00 |
| xixor | ah, I see | 14:01 |
| xixor | yes, so root has the VM registered in the database | 14:01 |
| lordievader | xixor: Is your vm going to be headless? | 14:01 |
| xixor | lordievader: Yes | 14:01 |
| xixor | lordievader: It runs my awesome website, www.xixor.net | 14:02 |
| xixor | lordievader: It is important for the entire internets to have zero downtime from this website | 14:02 |
| lordievader | xixor: You could use a work-around, make your own script with vboxmanage startvm <vm name> --type headless | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | Graf_Westerholt, well I'm currently testing 13.04 so our shutdown options obviously differ | 14:03 |
| lordievader | xixor: Add "" to the name though. | 14:03 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj ok. Do you have an idea how I can change shutdown with hibernate button? | 14:03 |
| BluesKaj | Graf_Westerholt, no idea | 14:04 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, do you have an idea what I can do that my Kubuntu finishes going to STR and stops the cpu fan? | 14:05 |
| BluesKaj | Graf_Westerholt, laptop? | 14:05 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, no, old tower. | 14:05 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, you want to see computer details? | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | not necessary , iot won't help Graf_Westerholt | 14:06 |
| Graf_Westerholt | ok | 14:06 |
| Graf_Westerholt | BluesKaj, I had the same problem with STD. It works with HIBERNATE_MODE="shutdown". | 14:09 |

| c2tarun | my KDE screen is freezing after sometime. Nothing is reponding not even Ctrl+Alt+F2. is there any place (any log) or something from where I can find the problem? | 16:40 |
| Obsidian1723 | You could check in /var/log/messages | 16:40 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: Try /var/log/syslog or /var/log/dmesg, seems to me like a gfx driver that is failing. | 16:41 |
| Obsidian1723 | It may be a problem with X and not KDE. | 16:41 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: That is also a good one, check Xorg.log too. | 16:42 |
| Obsidian1723 | You can also always try sudo dpkg-reconfigure name-of-the-package-here | 16:42 |
| Obsidian1723 | ie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org | 16:42 |
| Obsidian1723 | ie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kde-desktop | 16:42 |
| Obsidian1723 | that will set it back to "factory default", so to speak. | 16:42 |
| c2tarun | dont you guys think that these logs will also get updated when I hard boot my lappy? | 16:42 |
| Obsidian1723 | They will, but old logs don't vanquish on reboot,. | 16:43 |
| Obsidian1723 | logs arel ogs and remain unless deleted. | 16:43 |
| c2tarun | Obsidian1723: yeah, but I have to figure out the point just before freeze, any suggestions for that? | 16:44 |
| Obsidian1723 | Well, you would need to have something active logging all the time, like sysklogd | 16:44 |
| c2tarun | what is that? | 16:45 |
| Obsidian1723 | so you can specify exactly what you want to watch. The system logs all the time, but if you suspect something and want to actively monitor it (if the system doesn't monitor it by default), then you need another tool to set that up. | 16:47 |

| dougl | when I try to copy the file (movie) to my kubuntu my mac says I can't because I dont have permission to reead them. | 18:50 |
| dougl | that is when I am connected as guest and I cannot even connect as my user | 18:51 |
| xixor | dougl: You have to use smbpasswd to set a password for your user | 18:52 |
| BluesKaj | Tm_T, I tried using dns nameserver in /etc/network/interfaces , but resolv.conf still got overwritten to so I had to add them to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 18:52 |
| dougl | oh? | 18:52 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: The dns-nameservers option works for my vm's, not sure what is in /network/interfaces, let me check. | 18:53 |
| xixor | dougl: sudo smbpasswd -a <user> | 18:53 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: resolv.conf I mean. | 18:53 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, I'm not using network manager | 18:53 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: My vm's aren't using it either. Static ip in /etc/network/interface,, its getting copied correctly btw. | 18:54 |
| BluesKaj | ok , lordievader I'll chack that out later ..bbiab ...wife needs help | 18:55 |
| dougl | xixor, that was easy... working like a charm... thanks guys | 18:57 |
| xixor | dougl: coo | 18:57 |
| dougl | I have a video cable and audio cable running up there too | 19:02 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, i forgot to ask , is network manager enabled on your setup ? | 19:11 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Have to mention that the vms are server installs, and they do not have a Network Manager deamon running. It's not even present in /etc/init.d/ | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, ok good , because I don't have NM installed | 19:15 |
| xixor | well, I will install xfce4, to play with it | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | ok , going to check the changes | 19:20 |
| bjrohan | I am having media issues on my system. First is getting ffmpeg to work correctly. I installed via package manager, it didn't work couldn't find codecs, so I uninstalled, and installed via instructions found here: https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide | 19:22 |
| chronos | someone is having issues with full screen windows? | 19:22 |
| chronos | I trying to watch videos on vlc and full screen does not go to full screen, it stay contained in current window | 19:23 |
| chronos | I wasn't having that with 12.04 | 19:23 |
| bjrohan | WHen converting files via command line I get a LOT of error messages but it converts, KDenlive doesn't work in converting (can't find ffmpeg possibly?) | 19:23 |
| bjrohan | ALSO my bigger problem Dragon player garbles my audio when playing video files, BUT if I play the ogv file in Chrome, it is not garbled. Is it a Dragon player issue? | 19:24 |
| bjrohan | I would really like to be able to record and edit videos, and play them back for my work | 19:24 |
| xixor | hm. xfce4 seems pretty cool | 19:25 |
| xixor | bjrohan: I always use vlc to play media | 19:25 |
| * chronos remembering how good was kaffeine in kde 3... | 19:25 | |
| bjrohan | I am installing that one now :-) | 19:26 |
| lordievader | bjrohan: Those problems are probably all related to your codec problem, so I suggest to fix that first. And to ask around for only that. Furthermore since I do not know enough about codecs I cannot help you with that, hope someone else comes along who does know, remember !patience. | 19:26 |
| chronos | why I cant logout from kde in kubuntu? | 19:26 |
| bjrohan | thank you lordievader | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | VLC plays almost every codec and media wrapper in existence | 19:27 |
| lordievader | chronos: Can you give a bit more info? | 19:27 |
| chronos | when go logout, logout window shows with logout, sleep and turn off, with a counter to sleep | 19:27 |
| chronos | sry, lock, sleep and turn off | 19:28 |
| bjrohan | VLC plays the files just fine :-) | 19:28 |
| chronos | I just can't logout | 19:28 |
| ndegruchy | chronos: what happens when you try? | 19:28 |
| chronos | just that window showing and if I wait counter, computer sleeps | 19:29 |
| ndegruchy | did you try running the logout item? press alt+f2 to open krunner and type "logout" and see if that doesn't bring up the right command | 19:29 |
| chronos | it shows "Session Management" | 19:30 |
| === Vito_away is now known as Vito | ||
| chronos | hm, in that window is marked 'confirm logout'. | 19:32 |
| chronos | if I turn off that feature I can logout | 19:32 |
| ndegruchy | chronos: yeah, I was about to mention that | 19:32 |
| chronos | else, confirmation window don't let me do it | 19:32 |
| chronos | ndegruchy: is a know bug I guess | 19:32 |
| ndegruchy | oh? | 19:32 |
| ndegruchy | I'm running KDE right now and I'm able to logout/shutdown/sleep normally | 19:32 |
| chronos | hmm so it only happens to me on a fresh install :| | 19:33 |

| chronos | guys installed from Kubuntu img or from Ubuntu img?\ | 19:33 |
| ndegruchy | kubuntu image | 19:33 |
| chronos | cuz I did from ubuntu and than did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 19:33 |
| chronos | I'll try from kubuntu img | 19:34 |
| chronos | I have time today hahaha | 19:34 |
| ndegruchy | chronos: ha, good luck -- I installed kubuntu to skip having to do that very step | 19:35 |
| xixor | meh, I will stick with KDE plasma as my desktop. xfce4 looks awesome. I just don't have the energy for more configurations | 19:36 |
| ndegruchy | xixor: xfce is great if you want GNOME with all the... well, GNOME | 19:37 |
| ndegruchy | s/with/without/ | 19:37 |
| xixor | oh, xfce is tied in with gnome? I thought it was standalone? | 19:37 |
| ndegruchy | it's tied to GNOME 2, I believe... it's been a while | 19:37 |
| ndegruchy | yeah, aptitude reports it requires GTK2 | 19:39 |
| xixor | only last nagging issue with kde, is that dolphin seems to take a while to launch, but it's not a big deal | 19:40 |
| ndegruchy | a very small set of libraries, though | 19:40 |
| chronos | ndegruchy: take only ~30 min here, not much | 19:40 |
| ndegruchy | xixor: dolphin is a little heavy, but I find that it's a great file manager, I believe there are lighter options -- some that come with RazorQT might be available | 19:41 |
| chronos | what is 'kubuntu active tech preview'? | 19:42 |
| ndegruchy | for touch-enabled devices | 19:42 |
| chronos | oh, nice | 19:43 |
| ndegruchy | hard to find a good place for information about it, but there is a blog post with a screenshot | 19:45 |
| ndegruchy | http://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-active-three/ | 19:45 |
| bjrohan | I am having all kinds of issues with ffmpeg and codecs, and getting files converted, mainly using KDenlive. does anyone have experience in this aren | 19:46 |
| xixor | hm..... gotta reboot... lols | 19:47 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, i guess the server edition doesn't use that silly /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file , because /etc/resolv.conf is empty unless I add the nameservers to the 'head" file , and /etc/network/interfaces doesn't help connect to the nameservers even if they 're listed | 19:54 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: I've read somewhere that in order to have dns-nameservers in /interfaces work you needed a package, lets see if I can find that for you. | 19:55 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: The package resolvconf it is appearantly. | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | ok lordievader , thanks | 19:56 |

| natman | unable to shut down my laptop, unless i disable wireless before shut down, can anyone help? | 19:59 |
| lordievader | natman: You might use a workaround, add the command "rfkill block wifi" to the shutdown routine. | 20:01 |
| natman | lordievader: how do i do that, and if i do wil it be turned on during start up? | 20:02 |
| dougl | that was no good - with the TV upstairs connected the computer defaults to that display. | 20:02 |
| lordievader | natman: Might very well be, you should look it up on google, I'm not entirely sure but you need to add your script to /etc/rc1.d/. | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, which display ? | 20:12 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, my POST and bios options display on the tv upstairs with no kb or mouse... also my kubuntu desktop | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, how is the tv connected to the pc? | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | in other words, what kind of connection, dougl ? | 20:20 |
| dougl | svga 15 pin to the monitor on my desk... | 20:22 |
| dougl | and a square plug to hdmi on the tv... | 20:22 |
| dougl | the plug on the video card is square multi pin and the other end is hdmi into the tv | 20:23 |
| lordievader | dougl: DVI? http://www.york.ac.uk/campusservices/avcentre/images/laptop/dvi.jpg | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | square multipin or rectangular probly a DVI | 20:24 |
| dougl | yes dvi | 20:24 |
| dougl | thanks lordievader BluesKaj :) | 20:24 |

| nsmgo | i've been googling for a console/terminal command to lock my screen; many are for gnome-screen-saver but i'm running kubuntu. any ideas for a solution? | 22:34 |
| === giovanni is now known as Guest37425 | ||
| Preflex | nsmgo: dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Lock | 22:42 |
| nsmgo | Preflex: thanks; that would require the xscreensaver package right? | 22:52 |
| Preflex | nsmgo: should only require kde's screensaver packages. | 22:53 |
| Preflex | nsmgo: they're installed by default in kubuntu | 22:53 |
| nsmgo | Preflex: should I use && or & if i want to link that command with pm-suspend-hyrbird | 22:57 |
