[00:21] #linux [00:21] yoooo [00:39] 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] Any ideas?? [00:56] 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? :) [00:57] not sure on that on fyksen... i've had success doing both ways [00:57] 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 [00:58] fyksen, check the md5 sums [00:58] Catbuntu, I have done it, and it the same : ) [00:58] !md5 | fyksen [00:58] 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] Ow [00:58] designbybeck_, cool :) Hmms, IDK what to do : ) Maybe I'l try to run it on HW [00:58] Catbuntu, Hehe, I learned about Md5 last week or so :p [00:59] then disable the option of download updates while installing [00:59] and update after the install [00:59] 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 [01:01] designbybeck_, I don't get the error before after I have formatted the hdd. Don't want to do that.. [01:01] Sorry about my English btw. 2nd. language [01:03] Oh your english is better than some english people's :P [01:04] Haha, Thanks Catbuntu :) [01:10] Ahh sorry guys. Tried booting in to "try kubuntu" now. I don't get any internet on my VM :/ [02:12] help please, i just finished install kubuntu quantal, and i after i set the anti aliasing font, my fonts look ugly now.. [02:13] and i cant find the default-previous font setting [02:14] the default is ugly, its not the default setting after install (i think..)

[07:56] msg /msangapu Thanks for your advice, Ill try a memtest on my ram overnight and see if anything comes up thank-you! [08:12] is there a way to install dotnet 2.0 via winetricks on a 64 bit system? it keeps stating that it won't run on a 64bit system. [09:48] hi [10:31] how do I fix full screen flash from showing up on the wrong screen/monitor, using the nouveau driver and the properitary flash [10:39] hi all [10:48] kubuntu permanent livecd runs too slowly on my p4 3gh 3gb ram with radeon (nomodeset was required) [10:48] is it due to permanency or is cuz my system is 2 slow 2 handle kubuntu? [10:49] 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. [10:50] nope, lordievader [10:50] adhominem: Worth a shot, I'd say. [10:50] but 4 ex. gentoo distro runs pretty fine from livedvd usb [10:51] even with kds [10:51] kde* [10:51] adhominem: On the same system? [10:51] yup [10:52] adhominem: Hmm, could also be missing drivers. You could see if the jockey can find some drivers. [10:52] i bet thats the problem, radeon drivers are a pain in the 4$$ [10:52] had to boot with nomodeset due to that [10:53] in gentoo pressing ctrl+alt+f1 gets me into some weird screen where ascii characters are missing and wrong [10:54] while pressing ctrlaltf7 gets me back to a normal perfect good looking kde envir. [10:54] adhominem: Video drivers in general are a pita. [10:54] ;) [10:54] agree [10:54] adhominem: ctrl alt f{1-6} are tty's the rest are xsessions. [11:00] yup [11:00] thast why i find weird that even witha full enviroment like kde and terminals on it work fine, tty is messed up :S [11:03] adhominem: You could ask around in #gentoo if the problem is still relevant. [11:05] yup im doing [11:05] lordievader: adhominem: the resources isn't the issue with that kind of setup [11:06] there's more than enough cpu and ram [11:06] ye, i think whats giving me those weird problems is the gpu [11:07] i had been reading stuff about compatibility issues on radeon all night [11:07] on ati, in general, really [11:07] adhominem: what happens if you press alt+shift+F12 (that IIRC is the shortcut for switching desktop acceleration on and off) [11:07] Tm_T: Correct :) [11:08] in gentoo, the os its currently running, nothing noticeable [11:08] oh wait you mean on tty? [11:09] something happened switched from that wicked glitched ascii screen to a full black one [11:09] adhominem: No he means your kubuntu live setup, the one that is running slowly. [11:09] with blinking cursors [11:09] oh 4 that ill need to reboot [11:09] sec [11:10] hey on gentoo now a mouse cursor appears on ascii :P :) [11:10] lil progress but still progress somewhat [11:10] ok im rewooting [11:12] (·_·)/ [11:12] ok right now im on kubuntu 1st boot menu [11:12] where ill choose persistent mode with nomodeset to avoid crash [11:12] ill try pers b4 installing on hd ;P [11:16] kde started [11:17] alt shift f12 do nothing on 1st sight [11:18] but when i switch between tty and kde it replaces cool lights effect for black [11:18] i still get a weird feeling of hmm low performance [11:19] would it be faster on livecd instead persistent? [11:19] adhominem: Open the system settings -> desktop effects -> advanced and change the render type to xrender (instead of opengl). [11:20] Err compositing type. [11:20] its on xrend already; will try opengl [11:21] adhominem: Hmm so it uses the cpu already, instead of the gfx card, for the effects... [11:22] tried on both native and roaster or wathever [11:22] i still get that weird feeling when moving windows arround [11:23] would it be faster on livecd? [11:23] i dont wanna risk the time of a full insta before trying if performance would be ok ;P [11:24] adhominem: I understand that, does the jockey give you a driver you could install? [11:25] sec lemme check [11:27] im trying live mode for performance check [11:29] jockey is schearching; says no prop drivers are in use [11:30] ill try a diff approach [11:30] brb ;> [11:47] 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. === Catbuntu is now known as UnfoBOT [11:47] Secondly, every time I try to add a widget to my desktop, my session crashes: is there some way to report this usefully? [11:48] 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. === UnfoBOT is now known as Catbuntu [12:03] persia: Konsole is a nice terminal emulator, what is exactly the problem with Ibus? Got it running here myself, works fine with Japanese. === k0s is now known as kaktuc[qw] [12:06] lordievader: Konsole is indeed nice, but I don't like the interaction between screen splits and tabs - perhaps just a personal preference. [12:07] 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? [12:08] persia: You could use byobu/screen to take care of the screen splits. [12:08] Indeed, or tmux inside konsole. I'll just leave that for another project :) [12:09] persia: I'm sorry pressing what? Let me check what packages I have installed here. [12:10] 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 :) [12:11] 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. [12:13] persia: How did you setup ibus? [12:13] `apt-get --no-install-recommends install ibus-qt4 ibus-anthy` [12:14] persia: I mean the settings, not how you installed it :P [12:14] I ran ibus-setup, but it won't let me select anthy ("Japanese is greyed-out"). [12:15] persia: I had the same problem, the solution is annoyingly simple, click the arrow next to japanese, it unfolds and select Anthy. [12:17] Wow. That is indeed *annoyingly* simple. Now I get the A5 icon on my panel. [12:18] persia: That should mean that japanese input is enabled. [12:19] 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. [12:23] 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] persia: Did you start ibus? [12:23] How did you configure it. [12:23] Yes. [12:24] Although it would likely be better if I wasn't starting it per-session. [12:25] 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. [12:26] Your setup matches mine. Seems the kana comes from the keyboard layout (switch with Ctrl+Alt+K), and so is unrelated. [12:27] Oh, except Ctrl+Space also doesn't switch input :) [12:27] persia: You said you use an actual Japanese keyboard? That could be the difference I simply use a qwerty keyboard. [12:29] The hardware shouldn't make a difference. In previous environments, I've used both US and JP qwerty and DE qwertz with anthy successfully. [12:30] persia: I agree that it shouldn't. [12:30] If you run `ps ax | grep ibus`, do you get "ibus-daemon --xim" or something else? [12:32] persia: Among things: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1404519/ [12:33] That's the same as mine. Hrm. [12:33] persia: Also the other processes? [12:33] Well, thanks a lot for confirming I should have it right. I wonder which final bit is missing. [12:33] persia: But do you also have the other processes running? [12:34] persia: Because maybe the packages I deemed not important earlier are actually important... [12:35] Yes, precisely the same list. [12:36] persia: Hmm... I'm quite out of ideas here, sorry. [12:37] No worries. Thanks for the help. [12:38] persia: No problem, hope you figure it out. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [12:52] persia: iirc Quintasan was working on input stuff ... so he might know [12:53] as for terminator, there is no alternative afaik .... I just use window grouping with konsole [12:54] and plasma crash, could you install dbg packages and report a bug upstream ? [12:54] and if you're not on 4..9.3 , please upgrade to 4.9.3 :) [12:55] its in quantal-proposed [12:56] shadeslayer: So, even if I install the dbg packages, how can I capture useful information for the bug: my experience involves black screens and loss of current working set.

[13:59] about the version of kde you saw an improvement of kio-slave in? [14:03] cjae, it was on kubuntu 13.04 /KDE 4.9.8 , but i've since dropped testing it for other reasons and wiped the partition [14:04] BluesKaj: thats fine I was just wondering version thanks :-) [14:05] the 3.7 kernel wasn't working and the 3.5 woudn't install the nvidia drivers [14:06] I don't mind testing a new OS version but when it's that broken there's no point [14:10] yeah === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 === scott_ is now known as Guest34217 [15:45] hi all [15:45] hi [15:48] do u know what is the best Antivirus for KDE? [15:48] Guest34217: antivirus? [15:48] !antivirus | Guest34217 [15:48] Guest34217: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [15:48] !antivirus [15:49] o ok thx [15:49] new to Linux [15:50] Guest21470: that is whar channels are for. [15:50] If you are sharing files with a Windows system, you can use clam AV to check them. But your linux system will always be fine [16:09] ? how can I get Folder View plasma for directories to suppress the .desktop file extention like it does for ~/Desktop ? For example I created a Folder VIew for /usr/share/applications but it shows all the icons with [program].desktop [16:18] hello everyone [16:35] how can I get Folder View plasma for directories to suppress the .desktop file extention like it does for ~/Desktop ? For example I created a Folder VIew for /usr/share/applications but it shows all the icons with [program].desktop [16:45] where are dbus security settigns defined and what is the recommended way of changing them? , having problems with plasma [16:48] 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 a system-local.conf or session-local.conf; you can put local overrides in those files to avoid modifying the primary configuration files. [16:50] so there is no gui tool/guide to fix it? [16:50] Hey guys, any idea how can I remove a something using muon without removing one specific thing that it says it will remove with the other package? [16:51] I'm trying to unninstall the Game Binding of Isaac, but it insists that it needs to remove steam with it (wchi I don't know why, since the game wasn't installed using steam, linux or wine version) [16:51] Cant remember if I asked this here or not. Does anyone have a solution for full screen flash not showing up on the correct screen? [16:52] take over Adobe and rewrite the damn code :P [16:52] cjae: is it showing up on your primary display? [16:52] georges: yes [16:53] thats how it shoudl be, I remember fuxing with it a while ago trying to force it to go to other display but gave up [16:53] I want it to show up the tv instead where I full screened it from the browser [16:53] no that is not right [16:55] It has worked on and off in the past it used to be youtube too but that youtube has worked well for quite some time [16:57] it used to be if you opened the browser on the tv and maxed the window the full screen flash would appear on the monitor, so a workaround was to unmaximize browser then push full screen and it would show on the tv [16:57] but that does not work anymore === k0s is now known as qwm [17:18] hi [17:20] when krusader asks for kdesu can I point it kdesudo ? === scott_ is now known as Guest13626 [17:27] cjae: jsut add kdesu to the begining of the command string [17:31] either rt-click the shortcut and go to properties or edit the [program].desktop file directly by changing "Exec=/path/to/program program %U" to "Exec=kdesu /path/to...." === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] [17:38] georges: You mean kdesudo instead of kdesu, kdesu doesn't exist anymore. [17:38] ? [17:38] kdesu works fine [17:38] even if it is just an alias [17:39] thelionroars: What Vert are you running? [17:39] lordievader: I still use kdesu [17:39] Vert? [17:39] err version [17:39] 12.10 [17:39] using it now in 12.10 [17:39] Hmm, odd on my 12.04 installs kdesu doesn't exist. I know it did before... [17:40] it worked on 12.04 too [17:40] if it dosent exist just add an alias to kdesudo [17:41] It doesn't matter to me if it exists or not, just thought kdesu didn't exist in general anymore. [17:41] think of all those letters you don't have to type anymore [17:42] you may save whole minutes of your life [17:42] :P [17:42] thelionroars: I rarely use it anyway, sudo is good enough for me :P [17:45] except 'sudo' dosent work for .desktop files [17:46] georges: It is good practice to use kdesu(do) for all kde graphical applications. [17:46] 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] BluesKaj: That is what I've just said ;) [17:46] oh ? [17:47] BluesKaj: 18:46 < lordievader> georges: It is good practice to use kdesu(do) for all kde graphical applications. [17:47] as in, no graphical applications are used [17:47] thelionroars: Straight to the point! [17:48] at this point i think we are all arguing the same point lol [17:48] Seems so, yes. [17:49] lordievader, guess i was typing ...didn't see your post before I hit "enter" [17:51] short version: use sudo to elevate terminal commands; use kdesu(do) to elevate kde executes [17:51] georges: Yes, and gksudo is for gnome applications. [17:52] lordievader: i omited that since this is #kubuntu [17:52] but good info none the less [17:53] That is why I mentioned it :) [17:53] uh, kdesu will still work for gnome applications though, right? [17:53] i actually never knew the gnome one [17:54] i think it will if you have KDE installed [17:54] even if rnning in the gnome env [17:54] thelionroars: Gtk apps never complained when I opened them simply with sudo. [17:56] 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] georges: Synaptic works fine with "sudo synaptic". [17:57] lordievader: in the synaptic.desktop file? [17:58] georges: I don't use .desktop files, so I have no idea. [17:58] the KDE UI uses the .desktop files [17:58] all the menue icons are .desktop files [17:59] georges: Never start synaptic from the menu ;) [18:00] 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" [18:01] georges: Ok so we have the same view, and yet again we are argueing :P [18:02] lordievader: tautology kills boredom LOL [18:06] good day!!! [18:11] i aleays launch synaptic from a launcher , but it's alaised in /.bashrc with sudo , so i guess that doesn't count [18:11] er ~/.bashrc [18:14] my bifocals are responsible for all the spelling mistakes :) [18:14] you don't use muon? [18:15] thelionroars, very rarely unless I'm referencing for someone who needs help with it [18:15] usually new users [18:15] thelionroars: Apt-get :D [18:15] muon = lion? [18:16] lol [18:16] nm [18:16] my bifocals are messing with me too [18:16] dougl, that one went right over my head :) [18:17] BluesKaj, good cuz if you are in tune with me we'd need to worry - lol [18:17] :) [18:18] yes I have been using apt more or less exclusively for my updates for at least a year [18:18] apt-get = best... you can see what is going on during install [18:18] and installs [18:18] but haven't seen the command for held back packages yet for apt [18:18] that would be handy [18:19] held back packages? [18:19] thelionroars: You mean apt-get dist-upgrade? [18:19] thelionroars: Installs the held-back packages. [18:20] I thought dist-upgrade wasn't supposed to be used... [18:20] thelionroars: Why not? [18:20] thelionroars, I think most users use the CLI/apt for installing and removing apps afterthey become familiarized [18:20] I thought it was recomended to do once a day [18:20] only heard of it in the context of upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu [18:21] that is something else I think [18:21] xtp391h50eleven [18:21] 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. [18:22] oops password :P [18:22] I'm using two keyboards :) [18:22] I thot that was a password, time to change it.... [18:22] guess it was time for a change anyway xD [18:22] thelionroars: Check out synergy, it's a kvm over the internet :) [18:22] but that was a nice password . [18:23] meh, I have been using 16 and complex the last couple of years [18:23] I use synergy for windows, kubuntu and Loin on one desk with 3 monitors = works great [18:24] Synergy is great as long as the network load is low. [18:25] I just use a 42" plasma ..big enough , no need for several monitors [18:27] I will check it out [18:28] its an old Athlon xp2400+ I am putting 12.10 on [18:29] how much memory? [18:32] 1 GB [18:33] the MB is limited to 2x512MB [18:34] I think its DDR233 [18:34] I actually got it with kubuntu installed (7.10) :) [18:35] from here http://computerbank.org.au/ === VIVID is now known as vivid [19:00] I want to make a database of pdf files (scanned hand written notes in pdf) where do I start? === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_aw [19:11] What do you need the database for? === georges is now known as Dosage [20:08] ? how can I get Folder View plasma for directories to suppress the .desktop file extention like it does for ~/Desktop ? For example I created a Folder VIew for /usr/share/applications but it shows all the icons with [program].desktop [20:47] 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] 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] 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. [20:59] is there a way to manually edit the display settings perhaps? It's almost as though the card doesn't see anything attached [21:01] actually, xrandr doesn't see the monitors connected at all when run from the cli. [21:04] hi everybody [21:05] hi [21:06] here's the interesting thing, the nvidia x server settings utility sees the monitor and can tell the model. [21:06] BluesKaj: are you there? [21:08] yofel: are you there? [21:12] can someone check if microblogger plasma widget works with twitter [21:21] 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. [21:27] it seems to be a problem with xorg + kde [21:31] Hi folks. I'm trying to setup a vpn connection using pptp to my office. [21:31] 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] /usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in kernel. [21:32] Anyone run across this before? [21:34] 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] Reinstalled kubuntu from the same img file today, but still nogo. === sharky1 is now known as sharky [21:53] Doyle: are you there? [21:58] Its ok [21:58] Doyle: can you help me [21:58] if I can [21:59] Doyle: can you check if the microblogger widget is working with twitter? [21:59] 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 [22:00] yofel: I debugged just now [22:00] yofel: its a simple base service url change [22:00] sure [22:00] just a min [22:01] yofel: If i submit a patch now, will it make it to 4.10? [22:01] sure, plenty of time left before final: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.10_Release_Schedule [22:02] yofel: right [22:02] yofel: I just remember that you dont like the social networking wibsites [22:03] well, I'm not particulary against them - I do have an account on most after all. I just don't really use them [22:04] Do I have to sign up fo ridenti? [22:04] Doyle: ridenti? [22:04] identi.ca [22:04] Doyle: no test twitter [22:05] t.co? [22:05] 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] Doyle: twitter.com [22:05] BluesKaj: thats true, i just use it for news feeds [22:06] being interrupted because somebody had a good golf score isn't meaningful :) [22:07] BluesKaj: ha ha ha [22:07] gives me an error [22:07] Error [22:07] from [22:07] () [22:07] Doyle: ok now goto the settings [22:08] and then? [22:09] and change the service url from "https://twitter.com/" to "https://api.twitter.com/1/" and try again [22:10] way better [22:10] Doyle: works? [22:10] I expected an api link in the first place [22:11] yep [22:11] nice [22:11] BluesKaj: yofel the solution works [22:12] solution for something , ok :) [22:13] BluesKaj: more disturbance :D [22:13] Doyle: thank you [22:13] Anytime [22:14] Doyle: Did you solve your problem [22:14] sudo got it to work a bit better. Just have ot double check my un/pw [22:14] Gives me : MS-CHAP authentication failed: I don't like you. Go 'way. [22:15] I gotta do something about that vpn appliance... it's kinda ghetto [22:15] Doyle: Ya thats what i thought when i saw the not permitted message [22:16] I'm just dumb today. Too much to drink last night. [22:16] Doyle: So its a simple matter of configuring your network [22:17] It's weird though [22:17] Still can't use the network manager [22:17] Same un/pw combo works perfectly from a virtual machine on my desktop at work [22:17] but not on this laptop [22:17] 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 [22:18] fair enough. I tried the gnome connection manager on the off chance it would makea diff. nogo === Vito is now known as Vito_away [22:21] The Messages tab of microblogger displays "Error" [22:21] Doyle: ya i know [22:21] ok [22:22] Doyle: its been blocked because the application doesn't have permission to do so, possibly new twitter policy. I have to discuss this with the maintainer [22:24] Does Kubuntu use github to maintain their codebase? [22:35] good night everyone [22:48] hey cn any one tell me how to give permission to write to a USB drive (ubuntu 12.04) [22:50] I keep trying sudo, move commands, copy commands, replace commands === SJrX is now known as SJr [22:57] Hi [23:23] raywmjr you still around [23:23] ....
