| yofel | not really, unless you pull kate from raring | 00:01 |
| yofel | it's a patch that was dropped by accident when it was repackaged | 00:02 |
| vbgunz | I can confirm, reinstalling kate doesn't work | 00:02 |
| xixor | is installing the ia32-libs package, which installs a suite of i386 libraries... going to cause any compatibility/dependency issues? | 00:02 |
| vbgunz | I was reading up on it, hoping a work around would pop up, I saw it's fixed in what I thought was 4.9.3 but its not | 00:03 |

| bjrohan | What is the best way to get kubunto to zoom in where my mouse is? I want to record my desktop, and when discussing certain features, be able to zoom in on them | 01:44 |
| === deadc0de_ is now known as OxDeadC0de | ||
| bjrohan | I am having issues with the KWIN zoom in / out. Any time I ener the Meta Key and another key, the run command box appears at the top of my screen. How can I disable this? In settings desktop effects, zoom Meta+= is default zoom in Meta+- is default zoom out, but again all I get is the run command bar | 02:08 |
| DarthFrog | Odd. I just get the + and - glyphs in this text entry box, no ALT effect at all. ALT-F2 brings up krunner. | 02:09 |
| bjrohan | hmm | 02:22 |
| xixor | sup | 02:22 |
| bjrohan | Trying to get desktop zoom to work | 02:24 |
| bjrohan | anytime I hit Meta+ and key it opens up the Run Command box at the top of my screen | 02:25 |
| bjrohan | perhaps it isn't called Run Command, but if I right clcik on desktop and select Run Command that is the box that appears | 02:25 |
| xixor | I hate linux. is meta=alt? or is meta=windowsKey? | 02:25 |
| bjrohan | WindowsKey | 02:26 |
| xixor | lol | 02:26 |
| bjrohan | I can't find where to set the shortcut key for the run command box | 02:26 |
| xixor | alt+f2 is default | 02:26 |
| Tygart | bjrohan: try using it with your browser or open a PDF or word doc | 02:27 |
| bjrohan | yep. alt+f2 and Meta any key give same result :-( | 02:27 |
| bjrohan | Tygart: In browser, nothing happens | 02:28 |
| bjrohan | And that is what I need to zoom in on with while recording my desktop | 02:28 |
| bjrohan | Maybe it doesn't work at all I tried reassigning it to ctrl+0, and nothing happens | 02:34 |
| Tygart | bjrohan: are you using the +&- on thats by the 10key or the ones above the letters | 02:35 |
| bjrohan | Ones above letters, I am on a laptop | 02:35 |

| meoblast001 | hi | 03:38 |
| meoblast001 | i'm having a bit of a problem with printers (you know, those things we always have when we deal with printers... problems) | 03:38 |
| meoblast001 | this one's a little interesting and i've actually damaged the printer in frustration trying to get the thing to stop printing | 03:39 |
| xixor | I heard a story once, from a wandering bard, who claimed to have heard of someone who installed a printer without problems once | 03:39 |
| meoblast001 | it's a Lexmark e250d, and i set it up as a generic printer as PLC 6/PLC XL Foomatic/pxlcolor, the default | 03:40 |
| meoblast001 | this has been extremely hit or miss | 03:40 |
| meoblast001 | sometimes i'll print something, and it will come out perfect | 03:40 |
| meoblast001 | other times, with the same document, it appears the printer misinterprets the stream to it and it prints out binary as if it was plain text | 03:41 |
| meoblast001 | let's just say this household now has a lot of scrap paper with smiley faces, umlauts, and question marks | 03:41 |
| meoblast001 | any ideas of what i can do? | 03:41 |
| meoblast001 | i tried postscript configuration but the printer does not like that | 03:42 |
| meoblast001 | does not respond at all, just removes the job from the queue | 03:42 |
| meoblast001 | oh great, now it's angry at me | 03:44 |
| OerHeks | meoblast001, this old 2009 tutorial should still be valid >>> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1158367 | 03:45 |
| meoblast001 | followed that | 03:45 |
| meoblast001 | the PPD file does not appear to work | 03:45 |
| meoblast001 | my printer should not even have an IP address anyways | 03:45 |
| OerHeks | Is it connected with USB ? | 03:46 |
| meoblast001 | yes | 03:46 |
| OerHeks | Then choose local printer, etc | 03:46 |
| meoblast001 | in the CUPS admin or in the KDE printer configuration? | 03:46 |
| OerHeks | you can choose, localhost:631 is the old way | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | the name of the Lexmark printer appears | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | i select that and hit forward | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | if i select lexmark, mine does not appear on the list | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | so my only option appears to be generic | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | Ubuntu test print works fine on default settings again | 03:50 |
| OerHeks | meoblast001, check the resolution, some drivers cannot handle 600x600, set it to 300x300 dpi | 03:51 |
| meoblast001 | well, the same document can print different each time i send it to the queue | 03:53 |
| meoblast001 | it's on 300 | 03:53 |
| meoblast001 | i guess i could just live with it until it happens again | 03:53 |
| meoblast001 | now i'm frustrated at myself for breaking the plastic piece off the back | 03:56 |

| noaXess | morning | 06:28 |
| noaXess | is nvidia nouveau driver default for 12.10? | 06:28 |
| noaXess | BluesKaj: and.. got some sleep? ;) | 06:29 |
| vbgunz | anyone know why the nvidia x server settings gui, sometimes launches, sometimes doesn't and no matter what, takes a long time to load? | 06:32 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: you mean on startup.. the nvidia logo hangs some seconds? | 06:35 |
| noaXess | or nvidia-settings program? | 06:35 |
| vbgunz | the nvidia program from the menu | 06:35 |
| noaXess | my problem with 12.40, nvidia-updates is, that if desktop effects are enabled, after minutes i can't really work, i need to disable desktop effects.. | 06:36 |
| noaXess | on 12.04 with an older nvidia it worked perfect. | 06:36 |
| vbgunz | for some reason, I click it and it shows launch feedback but it either doesn't launch at all or takes a very long time to show up | 06:36 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: what dirver do you use? nvidia or nouveau? check /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:36 |
| vbgunz | nvidia driver, the experimental 3.10 as I am an undercover beta tester | 06:37 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: start it from console: nvidia-settings | 06:37 |
| noaXess | there will be some gtk errors, also in my situation, but maybe you see some more errors.. | 06:37 |
| vbgunz | yeah, not sure why I didn't think about it before | 06:37 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: 3.10 is ok for desktop effects? | 06:38 |
| vbgunz | it's ok, the biggest desktop effect game changer in kubuntu is the kde 4.9.2+ dekstop. | 06:38 |
| noaXess | i have official 304.51 (nvidia-updates) but desktop effects after minutes getting slow and maschine is not really usable.. so need to disable effects | 06:38 |
| DarthFrog | vbgunz: I'm running the nvidia 3.10 drivers and just loaded the nvidia settings app from the menu. Opened in 2 seconds. | 06:39 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: what you mean exactly? you mean problem in 4.9.3? | 06:39 |
| vbgunz | DarthFrog: yeah, the nvidia-settings gui doesn't pop up in 2 seconds. when it does, it will do it in 20 or not at all | 06:40 |
| vbgunz | noaXess: I am not saying KDE is the problem, just saying performance in KDE doesn't go up through the roof until you hit the 4.9.2 series | 06:41 |
| vbgunz | KDE in in 12.04 must have been horrid | 06:41 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: ok.. | 06:41 |
| vbgunz | all thats bothering me now is I have no ideas why nvidia-settings takes forever to load up if at all | 06:42 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: i was happy with 12.04 and KDE.. but no in 12.10 and KDE 4.9.3 some issues in effects.. i live them ;) but.. can live for the moment w/o them | 06:42 |
| vbgunz | it's the only program doing that, everything else is super responsive | 06:42 |
| noaXess | vbgunz: was it also with the nvidia 304 version? | 06:43 |
| vbgunz | I never really tested 304 on Kubuntu 12.10, I sort of just made a fresh install and jumped up to 3.10 based on Steam coming to Ubuntu exclusively | 06:44 |
| vbgunz | I wanted to check things out and although everything is pretty much perfect, the nvidia-settings gui is so slow to launch and open, it's terrible | 06:45 |
| DarthFrog | vbgunz: Coming to Ubuntu initially. No doubt it'll be available for RPM distros in short order. | 06:45 |
| DarthFrog | vbgunz: You could just open it once and leave it open. | 06:45 |
| vbgunz | DarthFrog: yeah, it should be coming but Ubuntu is no doubt leading in more areas and I used to use it more than a year back. I'm back trying it out again and it's great. Just the nvidia-settings is bugging me out atm, nothing else like it | 06:46 |
| vbgunz | DarthFrog: I have 3 monitors so bouncing between them using the nvidia-settings gui is important, it just sucks to have to wait 20-30 seconds for the app to launch | 06:47 |
| DarthFrog | So don't close it. | 06:47 |
| DarthFrog | if you're capable of parsing the output, you could try running it under strace and see where the hang-up is occurring. | 06:48 |
| vbgunz | DarthFrog: I don't predict I'll be switching monitors for a little while, I hate having something in the task bar running I know I just don't need atm, I have no real clue why it bothers me but I close apps I am not using if they're present in a way that appears they require usage | 06:49 |
| DarthFrog | From the command line: strace nvidia-settings | 06:49 |

| smj | that's what I've been using for years | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, you can make the synaptic graphics look exactly like other kde apps if one takes the time to set it up in systemsettings with kdesudo in the krunner | 15:58 |

| lordievader | ptomblin: Then a load of 2 is not a problem, however Nepomuk taking up 100% on a core isn't good. | 16:14 |
| ptomblin | I had just rebooted because the load average was up over 3 for no reason, and postgresql was slow as a dog. Everything seems better now. | 16:15 |

| Gremble | Sorry about that | 20:41 |
| Gremble | I was on my PC when I suddenly had an urge to do research | 20:42 |
| vbgunz | I'm on Kubuntu 12.10. I have no ppas enabled and I am on a fresh install. twice today Kubuntu completely froze solid. A hard reboot needed twice and I have no idea where to begin figuring out why. Does anyone know where to start? what logs to look at? | 20:42 |
| lordievader | Gremble: sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 20:43 |
| lordievader | Gremble: Run that command from a terminal. | 20:43 |
| ovidiu-florin | Gremble: I also recommend QtCreator for an IDE and Kate for a text editor | 20:44 |
| Gremble | I could only get "build-essential" but I assume it is the same thing... haha | 20:46 |
| Gremble | Kate I have, QtCreator Ill try. Thanks | 20:46 |
| lordievader | Gremble: Ah yes, that's the one. | 20:47 |
| Gremble | Ok, I should've asked, what exactly is this that I am installing? | 20:47 |
| lordievader | Gremble: It is a meta-package with all sorts of compilers and other things needed to compile and make software from source-code. | 20:48 |
| ovidiu-florin | Gremble: Short: It's a package that contains all necessary packages in order to develop in C/C++ | 20:48 |
| markovh | the system tray widget on the main pannel for me keeps becoming REALLY big and squishing the task manager . How can i resize it? i tried deleting it and putting it back... BIG MISTAKE now the task manager is about 2 cm... the system tray doesn't even have anything on it | 20:48 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| Gremble | Ok. Fantastic thanks. | 20:50 |
| ovidiu-florin | markovh: you could try to use a spacer, but usualy there are some proceses that make the system tray be very large. | 20:50 |
| markovh | ovidiu-florin: tried that as well | 20:50 |
| markovh | doesn't resize it... seems a bit strange there's no way to resize widgets... | 20:51 |
| ovidiu-florin | markovh: they autosize | 20:51 |
| markovh | yeah that doesn't seem sane | 20:51 |
| ovidiu-florin | markovh: it depends on their content | 20:51 |
| markovh | for exactly this sort of reason actually | 20:52 |
| ovidiu-florin | markovh: check what applications appear in the system tray | 20:55 |
| === Tonio_ is now known as Tonio_aw | ||
| ovidiu-florin | markovh: somewidgets are set to take up all the available space, like the Task Manager widget | 20:57 |
| ovidiu-florin | if you wish to shrink it you can use a spacer widget | 20:57 |
| Tygart | markovh: click the litle yellow (Thing) next to the clock and it will pop up, in the middle of the pannel it says "Height" And Screen edge. | 20:57 |
| Tygart | to the right of the clock* | 20:58 |
| Tygart | grab height and drag it up. | 20:58 |
| ovidiu-florin | markovh: I was reffering jut to the width of the widget, the height is determined by the panel height, as Tygart said | 20:59 |
| Tygart | What widget | 20:59 |
| Tygart | ovidiu-florin: sorry looked at the wrong name? | 21:00 |
| Tygart | name.* | 21:00 |
| vbgunz | damn, I am a bit stuck. my system has frozen twice today and I am a bit clueless where to start figuring things out. how can I troubleshoot this in case it happens again? | 21:02 |
| xixor | vbgunz: first make sure you have the latest updates installed | 21:03 |
| xixor | vbgunz: then start looking in /var/log | 21:03 |
| lordievader | vbgunz: The syslog and dmesg log are a good place to start. | 21:03 |
| markovh | ovidiu-florin: i wasn't refering to height either, that has nothing to do with it | 21:08 |
| markovh | did a restart and added it in again it seems to have resized back to a regular size now but seems like a terrible way of fixing it | 21:09 |
| ovidiu-florin | markovh: This happened to me as well, adn I found that there was a process that appeared there about 5 times, and made the System Tray widget hudge, so I just killed that process (5 times) and it was ok. No ideea waht process was that. It was nothing familiar | 21:11 |
| vbgunz | hmm in syslog, I went back to the second it froze, I know it right down to the second because my systray clock displays seconds and recorded the exact time everything froze. this is what I found, anyone know what's up? http://paste.kde.org/606860/ | 21:11 |
| ovidiu-florin | is there a way to colapse all in Kate? | 21:12 |
| ovidiu-florin | solved. | 21:14 |
| xixor | vbgunz: sounds like your hard drive or your ata subsystem is throwing a DRDY ERR. I don't know what that is | 21:15 |
| xixor | vbgunz: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=147546 | 21:15 |
| xixor | vbgunz: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ata1-01-status-%7B-drdy-err-%7D-896401/ | 21:16 |
| xixor | vbgunz: | 21:16 |
| xixor | vbgunz: http://superuser.com/questions/121391/sata-drives-or-chipset-throwing-drdy-err-and-icrc-abrt | 21:16 |
| xixor | vbgunz: in that last one, someone says, "DRDY ERR messages actually seems to be reported as a kernel bug in a lot of systems which seems to relate a lot with Ubuntu and to a smaller extent Debian." and there is some discussion on it | 21:16 |
| xixor | vbgunz: sorry to inundate you with information, but I think doing some google research might be a good option for you at this point, just finding out if this is a known problem, or a known hardware problem, etc | 21:17 |
| vbgunz | xixor: yeah, the info is great, I was googling what I could. if its worth anything, I have kubuntu installed on an external sata disk. a 32bit installation on a 64bit system. | 21:19 |
| vbgunz | how do I translate 'ata9.00' to something more understandable like /dev/sdx? | 21:21 |
| xixor | vbgunz: I'm not sure how to translate it. Someone else might know, or might be a good question for #linux ? | 21:22 |
| xixor | vbgunz: afaik, none of those things: 32bit system, eSata disk, should be a problem. Could it be a faulty cable? intermittent cable? failing hard drive/ | 21:23 |
| xixor | vbgunz: you might want to check the smart status of the drive | 21:23 |
| vbgunz | yeah, I'm looking into hdparm now otherwise I'll be on it a minute | 21:24 |
| xixor | vbgunz: er, I mean "both of those things shouldn't be a problem" above | 21:27 |
| xixor | vbgunz: I don't know much about it, but there are different hard drive settings in the bios... ahci, atapi, ata.. I can't remember how many there are, or what the differences are.. but it could be something to look into as well | 21:28 |
| vbgunz | I'm thinking ata9.01: is probably referring to my cdroms, it keeps coming back in google queries. I'm gonna try in #linux | 21:28 |
| vbgunz | xixor: turns out, from #linux, I grepped dmesg for ata9 and found out it is my cdroms | 21:37 |
| xixor | vbgunz: hm.. ok | 21:38 |
| xixor | vbgunz: but still, that error might not be related to your instability | 21:38 |
| xixor | vbgunz: take a look in /var/log/kern.log, message, syslog, and focus in on the time of the crashes to see if there are any other messages | 21:39 |
| vbgunz | kerl.log looks almost exactly the same as sys.log | 21:40 |
| xixor | ok | 21:42 |

| jedihawk | aah, back in xchat in linux. mmmmm, happiness. | 23:18 |
| * jedihawk still has no life though. | 23:19 | |
| xixor | jedihawk: I've never liked xchat | 23:31 |
| jedihawk | xixor, I love it. | 23:33 |
| xixor | It's gtk, right? | 23:35 |
| jedihawk | xixor: do you know how to get dolphin to not leave .directory files all over the place? | 23:35 |
| xixor | jedihawk: no idea. Are you showing dot files? hit alt . to hide them in dolphin | 23:35 |
| jedihawk | xixor: no, usually I don't have hidden files shown. But they show up in other programs, and clog up my jungledisk and dropbox shares. Very annoying. | 23:36 |
| xixor | ah, I think if you disable storing view preferences for every folder, it won't add them | 23:37 |
| jedihawk | xixor: good idea, thx. | 23:37 |
| xixor | Settings->Configure Dolphin->General-> REmember properties for each folder | 23:37 |
| xixor | I turn that off in windows explorer, finder, and dolphin, first thing I do on any installation on any OS | 23:37 |
