=== Vito is now known as Vito_away [00:11] simplew: would it help to update your packages first? sudo apt-get update [00:12] hu? [00:12] that has nothing to do [00:14] but if your fetching data off the web does it run though package manager [00:14] lol [00:15] on a laptop, how do I get the fn keys to work? In particular, the ones to brighten or dim the screen [00:15] the increase/decrease volume ones work, but not the brighten/dim ones [00:16] Gnosis-: on my HP I have a Fn button you hold then press one of the Fkeys [00:16] F-Keys* [00:17] Yeah, I have that too. It doesn't work even when I do this [00:18] Gnosis-, some laptops can be fixed with "acpi_backlight=vendor" in fstab >>> example http://askubuntu.com/questions/194812/cant-change-brightness-on-toshiba-l755-laptop [00:23] OerHeks: okay, so I can write a number from 0 to 7 to /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness, and that works [00:29] Gnosis-, yes, but after restart it is set to max brightness again ... [00:31] I don't really think that page is describing my problem, because unlike them, I _am_ able to adjust the brightness with System Settings->Power === pjoe_afk is now known as pjoe [01:06] o.o.. well .... i guess this is to see how quassel works [01:06] and aparently it does... [01:12] hello, i am looking for help with kubuntu. is this the right place to ask? [01:12] yes [01:13] excellent. i am looking for a good wysiwyg editor for kubuntu. would kompozer work or wouldyou suggest somthing else? [01:14] This is for documents? reports? letters? [01:16] to buld and modify web documents with html, css, jquery ect [01:16] *build [01:17] Hm... with those requirements, I'm not sure. For office documents libreOffice, Calligra, and Abiword were what I was going to recommend. [01:17] I'm not much of a web developer though. So an editor with html, css, jquery is outside of my domain. Stick around, and someone might be able to recommend something [01:18] !html [01:18] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya (Hardy or earlier) - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+ - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [01:20] thank you both. @ubottu: will kompozer run on kubuntu? i attempted to install it but was unsuccessful [01:21] us0r: yes it will... (ubottu is a bot) [01:23] us0r: wich Kubuntu? 12.10? [01:23] ah, i see. thanks for the answer. [01:23] i beleive so, it was the most recent version [01:27] us0r: don't think Kompozer or Iceape work at the moment [01:28] us0r: how vested are you in wysiwyg? [01:52] I am in 12.04 and want to upgrade to 12.10, I ready set "Release Upgrade" to "Normal Releases" in muon-updater, but I don't get prompt for upgrade. [01:52] How come. [01:56] yoga: how about: sudo kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade [01:57] in terminal :P [01:58] yes in terminal... not on a peice of paper :P [01:59] SIR_Taco, you never know, some people say "where do i type that?" [01:59] :P [01:59] TheLordOfTime: yes... had that already toda [01:59] y [02:00] you should hit your keyboard with a stick, the enter key is misbehaving [02:00] * TheLordOfTime hands SIR_Taco a stick === raindog is now known as Guest58573 [02:00] have fun. [02:00] TheLordOfTime: double click my computer.... if you can reach it :P [02:00] SIR_Taco: is that for devel release? The Ubuntu 2.10 already out. [02:01] I loaded 2.10 and after the 5th or 6th crash I pulled it from the machine [02:01] er... 12.10 [02:01] yoga: 12.10 is an official release, but's it's not a long term release [02:02] er, long-term support release [02:05] SIR_Taco: ok I am running sudo kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade, it's doing its thing. [02:07] yoga: 12.10 is not a LTS (long-term support: which gives 5 years of security and stablility updates, I believe). However it *should* have some of the latest software/drivers/etc. [02:07] But from the stdout it says Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-yoga" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [02:07] I might ignore that? === pjoe is now known as pjoe_dj [02:20] yoga: Yes. [02:21] DarthFrog: thanks....

[05:12] yoga: it should, but you may have to rerun the upgrade command again, or use "sudo apt-get -f install", to get it to rerun [06:35] mrning [06:37] here http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grafikkarten/Nvidia/nvidia is described that we need to add "nvidia" as driver into xorg.conf.. but if i check my xorg.conf, "nvidia" is commented out, so not used from X11... is there any other place where nvidia will be used, cause "lsmod | grep nvidia" = nvidia 11263007 44 === yofel_ is now known as yofel [08:07] Morning [08:15] hiya..

[14:52] cool [14:52] is it supposed to be only 32-bit? [14:53] no, there is an AMD64 kubuntu installation iso on the website for download [14:53] I must have chosen the wrong one. I used pendrivelinux and installed from usb drive. [14:54] is it possible to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? [14:54] I'm not sure [14:56] oh well. 32-bit isn't all that bad. [14:58] jedihawk, if you've installed 32bit, you can't instantly switch to 64bit [14:58] that's a little bit difficult/impossible [14:59] jedihawk: You could check out PAE, Physical Address Extension. [15:01] with this system, I installed over what I had before. I did not format my partitions. so it is a little wierd, but it seems to work fine. [15:02] I may re-re-install over it again with the 64-bit version. but it's such a hassel to re-config everything. again. [15:04] jedihawk: if you have use a separate partition for /home, then all of your settings can be saved [15:04] yes, most settings were saved, that's true. but I still had a lot of items to install and set up again. [15:04] except for things in /etc of course [15:05] I think there is a way to get a list of the packages installed on your system, and then to feed that into apt-get/dpkg/muon again, so you don't have to install them one-at-atime again [15:06] oh? how's that work? [15:06] hm... not sure to be honest, something I read on ubuntuforums or something, someone here might know, or you can google around [15:06] wait I know [15:07] dpkg --get-selections | awk '!/deinstall|purge|hold/ {print $1}' > packages.list [15:07] save the file and later run [15:07] xargs -a "packages.list" sudo apt-get install [15:07] http://superuser.com/questions/48374/find-all-user-installed-packages [15:07] nice!

[16:05] hmmm, or was it you at all who needed flash being installed [16:06] my flash player works fine, but it's a bit "chunky" on large videos. so for those, I download them with downloadhelper, then play them locally with mplayer or something else, and that works fine. that's how I watch all of freddiew's stuff.

[19:14] that I at least can install other stuff? [19:17] markus____: could you try sudo dpkg --configure -a or apt-get install libc-bin libc6 libc6-dev? [19:18] markus____: You had to replace the ssl with libc6. [19:19] markus____: You did everything from the apt-get update to the apt-get dist-upgrade? [19:19] yes. this command do not run now anymore as he always complains about missing stuff [19:20] How would the command look like for libc?

[20:52] no i did nothing with that [20:52] tsimpson: i did nothing with /etc/sysctl.conf. didn't nkow that was necessary [20:52] tsimpson: looking at it now. [20:53] the system is designed not to blindly forward network traffic unless you tell it you want it to [20:53] you should change "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0" to "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" [20:53] tsimpson: thanks very much. i'll do that. i figured there was something missing that ws dropping the packets but didn't know enough detail [20:55] you can do "echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to enable it at runtime, but changing the config file is more permanent [20:55] tsimpson: i just changed it. do i need to restart networking too?
