| designbybeck__ | Greetings cool kids! I have a new Kubuntu 12.10 install on a random low end system hooked via VGA to a 40" TV. The Ubuntu and LinuxMint Cinnoman install I had would let me change the resolution so that it fit better on the TV, however the Kubuntu display settings don't have a many options and/or the highest setting they have is slightly shifted over to the right and It is chopping off part of the image | 00:39 |
| designbybeck__ | Any ideas?? | 00:39 |
| fyksen | Hey! I'm trying to install Kubuntu in virtualbox on ubuntu 12.10. But I get stuck on "Retrieving file 43 of 105 10%. I have downloaded 2 isos. One from Torrent, one form webserver. Any tips? :) | 00:56 |
| designbybeck__ | not sure on that on fyksen... i've had success doing both ways | 00:57 |
| designbybeck__ | running ubuntu 12.10 on my netbook right now i'm chatting on. and kubuntu 12.10 on my TV display, i'm still setting up | 00:57 |
| Catbuntu | fyksen, check the md5 sums | 00:58 |
| fyksen | Catbuntu, I have done it, and it the same : ) | 00:58 |
| Catbuntu | !md5 | fyksen | 00:58 |
| ubottu | fyksen: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:58 |
| Catbuntu | Ow | 00:58 |
| fyksen | designbybeck_, cool :) Hmms, IDK what to do : ) Maybe I'l try to run it on HW | 00:58 |
| fyksen | Catbuntu, Hehe, I learned about Md5 last week or so :p | 00:58 |
| Catbuntu | then disable the option of download updates while installing | 00:59 |
| Catbuntu | and update after the install | 00:59 |
| designbybeck__ | fyksen: can you bun the ISO to a USB and try a live boot off it? maybe it is your VM that is messed up | 00:59 |
| fyksen | designbybeck_, I don't get the error before after I have formatted the hdd. Don't want to do that.. | 01:01 |
| fyksen | Sorry about my English btw. 2nd. language | 01:01 |
| Catbuntu | Oh your english is better than some english people's :P | 01:03 |
| fyksen | Haha, Thanks Catbuntu :) | 01:04 |
| fyksen | Ahh sorry guys. Tried booting in to "try kubuntu" now. I don't get any internet on my VM :/ | 01:10 |
| wahyu | help please, i just finished install kubuntu quantal, and i after i set the anti aliasing font, my fonts look ugly now.. | 02:12 |
| wahyu | and i cant find the default-previous font setting | 02:13 |
| wahyu | the default is ugly, its not the default setting after install (i think..) | 02:14 |
| wahyu | ah.. nevermind | 02:15 |

| adhominem | hi all | 10:39 |
| adhominem | kubuntu permanent livecd runs too slowly on my p4 3gh 3gb ram with radeon (nomodeset was required) | 10:48 |
| adhominem | is it due to permanency or is cuz my system is 2 slow 2 handle kubuntu? | 10:48 |
| lordievader | adhominem: Have you tried installing it to the harddisk? It has been my experience that a live cd is quite slow. However your system seems to be quite old, this could play a part in this, kde is considered heavy on resources. | 10:49 |
| adhominem | nope, lordievader | 10:50 |
| lordievader | adhominem: Worth a shot, I'd say. | 10:50 |
| adhominem | but 4 ex. gentoo distro runs pretty fine from livedvd usb | 10:50 |
| adhominem | even with kds | 10:51 |
| adhominem | kde* | 10:51 |
| lordievader | adhominem: On the same system? | 10:51 |
| adhominem | yup | 10:51 |
| lordievader | adhominem: Hmm, could also be missing drivers. You could see if the jockey can find some drivers. | 10:52 |
| adhominem | i bet thats the problem, radeon drivers are a pain in the 4$$ | 10:52 |
| adhominem | had to boot with nomodeset due to that | 10:52 |
| adhominem | in gentoo pressing ctrl+alt+f1 gets me into some weird screen where ascii characters are missing and wrong | 10:53 |
| adhominem | while pressing ctrlaltf7 gets me back to a normal perfect good looking kde envir. | 10:54 |
| lordievader | adhominem: Video drivers in general are a pita. | 10:54 |
| adhominem | ;) | 10:54 |
| adhominem | agree | 10:54 |
| lordievader | adhominem: ctrl alt f{1-6} are tty's the rest are xsessions. | 10:54 |
| adhominem | yup | 11:00 |
| adhominem | thast why i find weird that even witha full enviroment like kde and terminals on it work fine, tty is messed up :S | 11:00 |
| lordievader | adhominem: You could ask around in #gentoo if the problem is still relevant. | 11:03 |
| adhominem | yup im doing | 11:05 |
| Tm_T | lordievader: adhominem: the resources isn't the issue with that kind of setup | 11:05 |
| Tm_T | there's more than enough cpu and ram | 11:06 |
| adhominem | ye, i think whats giving me those weird problems is the gpu | 11:06 |
| adhominem | i had been reading stuff about compatibility issues on radeon all night | 11:07 |
| adhominem | on ati, in general, really | 11:07 |
| Tm_T | adhominem: what happens if you press alt+shift+F12 (that IIRC is the shortcut for switching desktop acceleration on and off) | 11:07 |
| lordievader | Tm_T: Correct :) | 11:07 |
| adhominem | in gentoo, the os its currently running, nothing noticeable | 11:08 |
| adhominem | oh wait you mean on tty? | 11:08 |
| adhominem | something happened switched from that wicked glitched ascii screen to a full black one | 11:09 |
| lordievader | adhominem: No he means your kubuntu live setup, the one that is running slowly. | 11:09 |
| adhominem | with blinking cursors | 11:09 |
| adhominem | oh 4 that ill need to reboot | 11:09 |
| adhominem | sec | 11:09 |
| adhominem | hey on gentoo now a mouse cursor appears on ascii :P :) | 11:10 |
| adhominem | lil progress but still progress somewhat | 11:10 |
| adhominem | ok im rewooting | 11:10 |
| vitimiti | (·_·)/ | 11:12 |
| adhominem | ok right now im on kubuntu 1st boot menu | 11:12 |
| adhominem | where ill choose persistent mode with nomodeset to avoid crash | 11:12 |
| adhominem | ill try pers b4 installing on hd ;P | 11:12 |
| adhominem | kde started | 11:16 |
| adhominem | alt shift f12 do nothing on 1st sight | 11:17 |
| adhominem | but when i switch between tty and kde it replaces cool lights effect for black | 11:18 |
| adhominem | i still get a weird feeling of hmm low performance | 11:18 |
| adhominem | would it be faster on livecd instead persistent? | 11:19 |
| lordievader | adhominem: Open the system settings -> desktop effects -> advanced and change the render type to xrender (instead of opengl). | 11:19 |
| lordievader | Err compositing type. | 11:20 |
| adhominem | its on xrend already; will try opengl | 11:20 |
| lordievader | adhominem: Hmm so it uses the cpu already, instead of the gfx card, for the effects... | 11:21 |
| adhominem | tried on both native and roaster or wathever | 11:22 |
| adhominem | i still get that weird feeling when moving windows arround | 11:22 |
| adhominem | would it be faster on livecd? | 11:23 |
| adhominem | i dont wanna risk the time of a full insta before trying if performance would be ok ;P | 11:23 |
| lordievader | adhominem: I understand that, does the jockey give you a driver you could install? | 11:24 |
| adhominem | sec lemme check | 11:25 |
| adhominem | im trying live mode for performance check | 11:27 |
| adhominem | jockey is schearching; says no prop drivers are in use | 11:29 |
| adhominem | ill try a diff approach | 11:30 |
| adhominem | brb ;> | 11:30 |
| persia | I just started using kubuntu, and have some questions. Firstly, is there a terminal emulator like Terminator? I understand quadkonsole's author switched to terminator, but don't seem to be able to find anything else taking up the banner. | 11:47 |
| === Catbuntu is now known as UnfoBOT | ||
| persia | Secondly, every time I try to add a widget to my desktop, my session crashes: is there some way to report this usefully? | 11:47 |
| persia | And thirdly, I don't seem to be able to get iBus working for Japanese input: is there known-good documentation somewhere? Searching the web keeps showing ancient bug reports. | 11:48 |
| === UnfoBOT is now known as Catbuntu | ||
| lordievader | persia: Konsole is a nice terminal emulator, what is exactly the problem with Ibus? Got it running here myself, works fine with Japanese. | 12:03 |
| === k0s is now known as kaktuc[qw] | ||
| persia | lordievader: Konsole is indeed nice, but I don't like the interaction between screen splits and tabs - perhaps just a personal preference. | 12:06 |
| persia | Re: iBus: pressing 半角/全角 doesn't switch my input mode with ibus-anthy. Do I need to so something special for setup beyond installation of ibus-anthy? | 12:07 |
| lordievader | persia: You could use byobu/screen to take care of the screen splits. | 12:08 |
| persia | Indeed, or tmux inside konsole. I'll just leave that for another project :) | 12:08 |
| lordievader | persia: I'm sorry pressing what? Let me check what packages I have installed here. | 12:09 |
| persia | hankaku/zenkaku: it's the key usually between "escape" and "tab" on jp106 keyboards. In practice, I'm really pressing the かな key on a Mac keyboard that sends "Hangul", but that's not an important detail :) | 12:10 |
| lordievader | persia: Ah I see, anyhow I have the following packages installed: ibus ibus-anthy ibus-qt4 and a few others but I do not think they are necessary. | 12:11 |
| lordievader | persia: How did you setup ibus? | 12:13 |
| persia | `apt-get --no-install-recommends install ibus-qt4 ibus-anthy` | 12:13 |
| lordievader | persia: I mean the settings, not how you installed it :P | 12:14 |
| persia | I ran ibus-setup, but it won't let me select anthy ("Japanese is greyed-out"). | 12:14 |
| lordievader | persia: I had the same problem, the solution is annoyingly simple, click the arrow next to japanese, it unfolds and select Anthy. | 12:15 |
| persia | Wow. That is indeed *annoyingly* simple. Now I get the A5 icon on my panel. | 12:17 |
| lordievader | persia: That should mean that japanese input is enabled. | 12:18 |
| persia | Unfortunately, it seems not to respond to keypresses yet. I'll try restarting the session, as attempting to restart individual applications to test hasn't been successful. | 12:19 |
| persia | No, that didn't work either, and re-running ibus-setup reported that ibus hadn't been started in the session. Playing around a bit got me all input in katakana based on the kana keymapings (dunno why), but not normal anthy. | 12:23 |
| lordievader | persia: Did you start ibus? | 12:23 |
| persia | How did you configure it. | 12:23 |
| persia | Yes. | 12:23 |
| persia | Although it would likely be better if I wasn't starting it per-session. | 12:24 |
| lordievader | persia: To start off I use ctl + space to enable it. Under the general tab I believe I didn't change anything, under the input method I got only Japanes - Anthy and "Customize active input methods" is ticked. Under advanced both options are ticked. | 12:25 |
| persia | Your setup matches mine. Seems the kana comes from the keyboard layout (switch with Ctrl+Alt+K), and so is unrelated. | 12:26 |
| persia | Oh, except Ctrl+Space also doesn't switch input :) | 12:27 |
| lordievader | persia: You said you use an actual Japanese keyboard? That could be the difference I simply use a qwerty keyboard. | 12:27 |
| persia | The hardware shouldn't make a difference. In previous environments, I've used both US and JP qwerty and DE qwertz with anthy successfully. | 12:29 |
| lordievader | persia: I agree that it shouldn't. | 12:30 |
| persia | If you run `ps ax | grep ibus`, do you get "ibus-daemon --xim" or something else? | 12:30 |
| lordievader | persia: Among things: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1404519/ | 12:32 |
| persia | That's the same as mine. Hrm. | 12:33 |
| lordievader | persia: Also the other processes? | 12:33 |
| persia | Well, thanks a lot for confirming I should have it right. I wonder which final bit is missing. | 12:33 |
| lordievader | persia: But do you also have the other processes running? | 12:33 |
| lordievader | persia: Because maybe the packages I deemed not important earlier are actually important... | 12:34 |
| persia | Yes, precisely the same list. | 12:35 |
| lordievader | persia: Hmm... I'm quite out of ideas here, sorry. | 12:36 |
| persia | No worries. Thanks for the help. | 12:37 |
| lordievader | persia: No problem, hope you figure it out. | 12:38 |

| RiotingPacifist | where are dbus security settigns defined and what is the recommended way of changing them? , having problems with plasma | 16:45 |
| georges | from the dbus man :: The standard systemwide and per-session message bus setups are configured in the files "/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.conf" and "/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/session.conf". These files normally <include> a system-local.conf or session-local.conf; you can put local overrides in those files to avoid modifying the primary configuration files. | 16:48 |

| georges | if it dosent exist just add an alias to kdesudo | 17:40 |
| lordievader | It doesn't matter to me if it exists or not, just thought kdesu didn't exist in general anymore. | 17:41 |
| thelionroars | think of all those letters you don't have to type anymore | 17:41 |

| BluesKaj | lordievader, if you're launching a gui app from krunner or the konsole kdesudo is the best practice, otherwise there could be launch problems in the future | 17:46 |

| thelionroars | as in, no graphical applications are used | 17:47 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: Straight to the point! | 17:47 |
| georges | at this point i think we are all arguing the same point lol | 17:48 |
| lordievader | Seems so, yes. | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, guess i was typing ...didn't see your post before I hit "enter" | 17:49 |
| georges | short version: use sudo to elevate terminal commands; use kdesu(do) to elevate kde executes | 17:51 |
| lordievader | georges: Yes, and gksudo is for gnome applications. | 17:51 |
| georges | lordievader: i omited that since this is #kubuntu | 17:52 |
| georges | but good info none the less | 17:52 |
| lordievader | That is why I mentioned it :) | 17:53 |
| thelionroars | uh, kdesu will still work for gnome applications though, right? | 17:53 |
| georges | i actually never knew the gnome one | 17:53 |
| georges | i think it will if you have KDE installed | 17:54 |
| georges | even if rnning in the gnome env | 17:54 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: Gtk apps never complained when I opened them simply with sudo. | 17:54 |
| georges | lordievader: if you do it from terminal it wont, but if you try to use "sudo" in Exec= for desktop items it wont work | 17:56 |
| lordievader | georges: Synaptic works fine with "sudo synaptic". | 17:56 |
| georges | lordievader: in the synaptic.desktop file? | 17:57 |
| lordievader | georges: I don't use .desktop files, so I have no idea. | 17:58 |
| georges | the KDE UI uses the .desktop files | 17:58 |
| georges | all the menue icons are .desktop files | 17:58 |
| lordievader | georges: Never start synaptic from the menu ;) | 17:59 |
| georges | lordievader: agree, but that was my point originally, if you launch from terminal you use "sudo" but to edit the menue icons you use "kdesu" | 18:00 |
| lordievader | georges: Ok so we have the same view, and yet again we are argueing :P | 18:01 |
| georges | lordievader: tautology kills boredom LOL | 18:02 |
| dougl | good day!!! | 18:06 |
| BluesKaj | i aleays launch synaptic from a launcher , but it's alaised in /.bashrc with sudo , so i guess that doesn't count | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | er ~/.bashrc | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | my bifocals are responsible for all the spelling mistakes :) | 18:14 |
| thelionroars | you don't use muon? | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | thelionroars, very rarely unless I'm referencing for someone who needs help with it | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | usually new users | 18:15 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: Apt-get :D | 18:15 |
| dougl | muon = lion? | 18:15 |
| dougl | lol | 18:16 |
| dougl | nm | 18:16 |
| dougl | my bifocals are messing with me too | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, that one went right over my head :) | 18:16 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, good cuz if you are in tune with me we'd need to worry - lol | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | :) | 18:17 |
| thelionroars | yes I have been using apt more or less exclusively for my updates for at least a year | 18:18 |
| dougl | apt-get = best... you can see what is going on during install | 18:18 |
| thelionroars | and installs | 18:18 |
| thelionroars | but haven't seen the command for held back packages yet for apt | 18:18 |
| thelionroars | that would be handy | 18:18 |
| dougl | held back packages? | 18:19 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: You mean apt-get dist-upgrade? | 18:19 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: Installs the held-back packages. | 18:19 |
| thelionroars | I thought dist-upgrade wasn't supposed to be used... | 18:20 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: Why not? | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | thelionroars, I think most users use the CLI/apt for installing and removing apps afterthey become familiarized | 18:20 |
| dougl | I thought it was recomended to do once a day | 18:20 |
| thelionroars | only heard of it in the context of upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu | 18:20 |
| dougl | that is something else I think | 18:21 |
| thelionroars | xtp391h50eleven | 18:21 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: Ah the confusement rises again, apt-get dist-upgrade is not do-release-upgrade, the latter upgrades Ubuntu from say 12.04 to 12.10 or something. Apt-get dist-upgrade will just update installed packages. | 18:21 |
| thelionroars | oops password :P | 18:22 |
| thelionroars | I'm using two keyboards :) | 18:22 |
| dougl | I thot that was a password, time to change it.... | 18:22 |
| thelionroars | guess it was time for a change anyway xD | 18:22 |
| lordievader | thelionroars: Check out synergy, it's a kvm over the internet :) | 18:22 |
| dougl | but that was a nice password . | 18:22 |
| thelionroars | meh, I have been using 16 and complex the last couple of years | 18:23 |
| dougl | I use synergy for windows, kubuntu and Loin on one desk with 3 monitors = works great | 18:23 |
| lordievader | Synergy is great as long as the network load is low. | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | I just use a 42" plasma ..big enough , no need for several monitors | 18:25 |
| thelionroars | I will check it out | 18:27 |
| thelionroars | its an old Athlon xp2400+ I am putting 12.10 on | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | how much memory? | 18:29 |
| thelionroars | 1 GB | 18:32 |
| thelionroars | the MB is limited to 2x512MB | 18:33 |
| thelionroars | I think its DDR233 | 18:34 |
| thelionroars | I actually got it with kubuntu installed (7.10) :) | 18:34 |

| three18ti | hi. I just installed Kubuntu 12.10 x86_64. I have two "NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460]", I've installed each version of the nvidia proprietary drivers (from nvidia-current to the 310 version, I currently have the 310 version installed), and three monitors. The problem is I can only get one video card to work at a time. The first card works, and both display ports work. The second card | 20:47 |
| three18ti | works if I pull out the first card. However, with both cards attached, the display manager displays DVI1-0 DVI-1-1 DVI-1-2 AND DVI-1-3 however, DVI-I-0 and 1 are greyed out asif nothing is connected. | 20:47 |
| three18ti | I've tried both bridged an un bridged mode, and if I leave the first card plugged in but disconnect the monitor, not of the monitors power up. | 20:47 |
| three18ti | is there a way to manually edit the display settings perhaps? It's almost as though the card doesn't see anything attached | 20:59 |
| three18ti | actually, xrandr doesn't see the monitors connected at all when run from the cli. | 21:01 |
| erdem_ | hi everybody | 21:04 |
| randomvase | hi | 21:05 |
| three18ti | here's the interesting thing, the nvidia x server settings utility sees the monitor and can tell the model. | 21:06 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: are you there? | 21:06 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: are you there? | 21:08 |
| phoenix_firebrd | can someone check if microblogger plasma widget works with twitter | 21:12 |
| three18ti | ha! I enabled the monitor in nvidia settings, now the desktop bleeds from monitor 1 to monitor 2, the third monitor powers on now, but I'm unable to control it via KDE controls. | 21:21 |
| three18ti | it seems to be a problem with xorg + kde | 21:27 |
| Doyle | Hi folks. I'm trying to setup a vpn connection using pptp to my office. | 21:31 |
| Doyle | Getting :FATAL: Error inserting ppp_mppe (/lib/modules/3.5.0-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/ppp_mppe.ko): Operation not permitted | 21:31 |
| Doyle | /usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in kernel. | 21:31 |
| Doyle | Anyone run across this before? | 21:32 |
| Doyle | It's driving me nuts. Works great form my vbox in the office, 12.10, but not from my laptop at home, or even when I take it to the office. | 21:34 |

| Doyle | if I can | 21:58 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Doyle: can you check if the microblogger widget is working with twitter? | 21:59 |
| yofel | phoenix_firebrd: I don't have a twitter account in use, so can't really help here. It wasn't working too well with identi.ca in 4.9 either though | 21:59 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: I debugged just now | 22:00 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: its a simple base service url change | 22:00 |
| Doyle | sure | 22:00 |
| Doyle | just a min | 22:00 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: If i submit a patch now, will it make it to 4.10? | 22:01 |
| yofel | sure, plenty of time left before final: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.10_Release_Schedule | 22:01 |

| Doyle | t.co? | 22:05 |
| BluesKaj | to me a lot of stuff on twitter is meaningless drivel ...some ppl I used to know were sending me messages just to talk | 22:05 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Doyle: twitter.com | 22:05 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: thats true, i just use it for news feeds | 22:05 |
| BluesKaj | being interrupted because somebody had a good golf score isn't meaningful :) | 22:06 |

| Doyle | and then? | 22:08 |
| phoenix_firebrd | and change the service url from "https://twitter.com/" to "https://api.twitter.com/1/" and try again | 22:09 |
| Doyle | way better | 22:10 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Doyle: works? | 22:10 |

| phoenix_firebrd | nice | 22:11 |

| phoenix_firebrd | Doyle: thank you | 22:13 |
| Doyle | Anytime | 22:13 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Doyle: Did you solve your problem | 22:14 |
| Doyle | sudo got it to work a bit better. Just have ot double check my un/pw | 22:14 |
| Doyle | Gives me : MS-CHAP authentication failed: I don't like you. Go 'way. | 22:14 |
| Doyle | I gotta do something about that vpn appliance... it's kinda ghetto | 22:15 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Doyle: Ya thats what i thought when i saw the not permitted message | 22:15 |
| Doyle | I'm just dumb today. Too much to drink last night. | 22:16 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Doyle: So its a simple matter of configuring your network | 22:16 |
| Doyle | It's weird though | 22:17 |
| Doyle | Still can't use the network manager | 22:17 |
| Doyle | Same un/pw combo works perfectly from a virtual machine on my desktop at work | 22:17 |
| Doyle | but not on this laptop | 22:17 |
| BluesKaj | Doyle, there are some networking gurus over at #ubuntu ...their population is much larger than ours and your problem isn't restricted to kubuntu per se | 22:17 |
| Doyle | fair enough. I tried the gnome connection manager on the off chance it would makea diff. nogo | 22:18 |
