[06:17] <nunya> I just installed Kubuntu. How do I get codecs for flv mp3 etc...?
[06:20] <nunya> really?
[06:21] <nunya> no one here?
[06:21] <tsimpson> !codecs
[06:22] <harolddong> you need to add the Medibuntu repository
[06:22] <tsimpson> no, you don't
[06:23] <nunya> harolddong: I'm total noob please bear with me but how do I add the repository?
[06:24] <tsimpson> nunya: you don't need to, just go to the first link ubottu gave then click on the kubuntu-restricted-extras link
[06:24] <harolddong> and anyway sholdn't installing media players through the package manager pull in whatever codecs are needed? that's the way it always seems to work for me
[06:31] <nunya> tsimpson: thanks to you and ubottu for being helpful.
[07:53] <harolddong> #join #kde
[09:29] <Cymew> After trying a distupgrade from 10.04.04 to the next LTS, I no longer can boot my machine. Quite bad. It looks like no grub record for the new kernel was created, and if I manually in grub say "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-yaddayadda root=/dev/sda1" it will boot, but fails later and say "mountall: Plymouth command failed" and then "mountall: disconnected from Plymouth". Any ideas?
[09:48] <alaa> hello all kubuntuers !!
[09:48] <alaa> I have a pretty simple question,how do I import bookmarks to rekonq through a bookmark manager ?
[09:55] <alaa> any ideas ?
[09:56] <Cymew> Sorry, I have used rekonq
[09:56] <Cymew> ... "never used" that is.

[12:18] <Peace-> unlucly for now jack is not supported
[12:18] <Peace-> but i have another idea
[12:19] <BluesKaj> they make god HTPCs from what I've read ,just add a drive and internet
[12:20] <BluesKaj> what is that?, just jack audio and vlc
[12:21] <Peace-> BluesKaj: yes
[12:21] <Peace-> i needed to check sounds around my hause

[12:29] <wail> hi
[12:30] <lordievader> Hey wail
[12:30] <wail> i am useing ubuntu 12.10
[12:31] <wail> i cannot install aircrack-ng
[12:32] <lordievader> wail: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/aircrack-ng/
[12:32] <wail> what i will select
[12:33] <lordievader> wail: Depends on your Ubuntu install, did you install the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version?
[12:34] <lordievader> wail: To see what version you have run uname -p
[12:34] <wail> 32
[12:35] <lordievader> wail: Then you need the i386 version.
[12:36] <wail> and  need to patch the wifi drive
[12:36] <wail> or not need
[12:37] <lordievader> wail: Patch the wifi drive? What do you mean?
[12:40] <wail> my friend when i give the uname-p
[12:40] <wail> i686
[12:42] <lordievader> wail: What does uname -i give?
[12:43] <wail> i686
[12:44] <lordievader> wail: Am I correct in saying it's a Pentium 2/3 cpu?
[12:45] <wail> intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz × 2
[12:46] <lordievader> wail: Hmm I see, could you pastebin the output of uname -a?
[12:47] <tsimpson> you could just do "dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH"
[12:47] <wail> Linux ********** 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[12:48] <tsimpson> but it shows a 32bit install if it's showing i686
[12:48] <wail> thanks a lot guys
[12:48] <lordievader> tsimpson: That seems to work better :), I already thought it would be 32bit, but wasn't sure.
[12:49] <tsimpson> lordievader: iirc, it would show x86-64 rather than i686 for 64bit
[12:49] <tsimpson> of course, I'm ignoring PPC and Mac in general ;)
[12:50] <lordievader> tsimpson: Yes, my 64-bit install shows x86_64 for uname -i.
[13:08] <invariant> Is there any way to translate a time in the future in a particular major city to my local time easily?
[13:08] <invariant> The input of dates should be user friendly, etc.
[13:11] <noaXess> someone has a hint, why odt files on doubleclick will extract instead of open even if LibreOffice Writer is set to default?
[13:11] <noaXess> thats since last update
[13:11] <noaXess> yesterday
[13:14] <BluesKaj> invariant, what do you mean ? Give an example.
[13:15] <invariant> BluesKaj, something like a calendar widget with a drop down box to show multiple configured locations for example, preferably with a way to also run it from the command line.
[13:15] <invariant> BluesKaj, instead of a widget, I prefer an application, however.
[13:15] <invariant> BluesKaj, I don't mind if it is written with GTK+, as long as it works.
[13:15] <FlashDeluxe> hi! i got a question, i have to confirm the rsa key fingerprint everytime i log into a server, how can i tell ssh to remember it?
[13:16] <tsimpson> there's always www.timeanddate.com
[13:19] <FlashDeluxe> ahh the known_hosts got the wrong permissions
[15:05] <Reez> hi ugys
[15:05] <Reez> *guys
[15:05] <Reez> got some problem with my kubuntu
[15:05] <Reez> can you help me?
[15:06] <lordievader> Hey Reez
[15:06] <lordievader> !ask | Reez
[15:06] <Smurphy> just noticed the X-Server started working on my EeePC / 1025 NetBook...
[15:06] <Reez> well: my headphone just stopped to work and I can't hear any soud. Could you help me?
[15:07] <Smurphy> !patience
[15:07] <Smurphy> :}
[15:07] <Smurphy> Reez: Mute on ?
[15:07] <Smurphy> Start the mixer app - and check if all channels are not on mute or low level
[15:07] <Reez> Smurphy: No: it is supposed to play music
[15:08] <lordievader> Reez: Install pavucontrol and see if PulseAudio is outputting anything.
[15:08] <Smurphy> Which player you use ? Amarok ?
[15:09] <Reez> Smurphy: actually I listen to music on youtube
[15:10] <Smurphy> Ah - ok. happens to me from time to time too. It's usually the embedded flash into the browser that's stuck. Stop all browser instances, and restart them.
[15:10] <Smurphy> Should work after.
[15:11] <Smurphy> I stopped using youtub to listen to music ... The flash stuff is too unstable.
[15:11] <Reez> Smurphy: I restarted my pc many times but nothing happens
[15:11] <Reez> lordievader: I've just installed pavucontrol
[15:12] <lordievader> Reez: Alt+f2 -> pavucontrol to start the program, btw are there other programs that can output sound?
[15:13] <Reez> it looks like it can output sound but I can't hear anything with my headphone
[15:15] <lordievader> Reez: Open alsamixer and see if any outputs are muted.
[15:16] <BluesKaj> resident, check the input and output options in pavucontrol , and alsamixer line in might be muted or turned down
[15:17] <Reez> lordievader: on alsamixer nothing is muted
[15:17] <Smurphy> Did you connect something new to the computer ? Like a HDMI device ???
[15:17] <Reez> Smurphy: nothing new. It all happened suddenly
[15:19] <lordievader> Reez: Could you test the jack by connecting a different set of speakers/headphones?
[15:19] <Smurphy> does a:"dmesg" output show you something about audio ?
[15:20] <Reez> lordievader: Done but the problem persist
[15:22] <Reez> Smurphy: No, I think not
[15:24] <lordievader> Reez: In pavucontrol the youtube player is directed to the correct output?
[15:25] <Reez> lordievader: how can I control that?
[15:25] <lordievader> Reez: It not a problem if you have just one sound-card, but it could be a problem with more than one.
[15:26] <Reez> I've got only one sound-card
[15:26] <lordievader> Reez: Ok, then that shouldn't be a problem.
[15:28] <lordievader> Reez: What happens when you try to play a file with aplay?
[15:28] <Reez> aplay? what's that?
[15:30] <lordievader> Reez: Commandline audio player.
[15:32] <Reez> ah ok. Anyway, nothing happens, unfortunatly
[15:32] <lordievader> Reez: Does it give a hint?
[15:34] <Reez> No
[15:35] <lordievader> Reez: Run the command pulseaudio -k, this kills pulseaudio (should automatically be restarted).
[15:36] <Reez> nothing :(
[15:37] <lordievader> That is too bad, I'm sorry that I have to say that I am out of ideas, perhaps BluesKaj knows a solution?
[15:38] <Reez> Do you think it could be an issue with the hardware?
[15:38] <ronnoc> It could be a hardware issue or the jack itself went bad.
[15:39] <Smurphy> Headset ???
[15:40] <Reez> Ah..... I've tried also with a Ubuntu Live-CD  but nothing happened the same
[15:41] <Smurphy> Reez: check the cmos setup. eventuall you have disabled the audio-device in there?
[15:41] <Smurphy> or the battery is old and lost the settings.
[15:41] <Smurphy> Know also - that sometimes when connecting a new screen through HDMI - the audio channel can go through the Screen...
[15:41] <Smurphy> and if the headset is connected to the screen, you eventually have to also configure the audio/volume settings on the screen.
[15:41] <lordievader> Smurphy: If the audio device is disabled in the BIOS pulseaudio wouldn't show it.
[15:42] <Smurphy> lordievader: ack on that.
[15:42] <Reez> Smurphy: battery? whay kind of battery?
[15:42] <Smurphy> Cmos-setup buffer battery. Usual A CR-32 cell.
[15:42] <Smurphy> on the motherboard.
[15:43] <Reez> IWait: I've just changed that battery
[15:44] <BluesKaj> Reez, which audio chip is listed in the top left in alsamixer?
[15:44] <Smurphy> ah. try going through the CMOS setup, and put back the defaults, and check it.
[15:44] <Reez>  Realtek ALC888
[15:46] <Reez> Smurphy:  what have I got to do in the CMOS setup?
[15:48] <Smurphy> Check all relevant things to audio.
[15:49] <Reez> I try
[15:51] <BluesKaj> Reez, in the terminal , sudo modprobe snd-hdes-intel , if there is no output from the command the correct kernel module is loaded.
[15:52] <BluesKaj> oh command needs a correction , but he left
[15:52] <BluesKaj> sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
[15:53] <BluesKaj> why would the device be disabled in the bios if all he did was upgrade
[15:55] <BluesKaj> fooling with cmos jumpers is dangerous, taking the battery out and unplugging from the outlet for 30 mins is much safer
[16:03] <Reez> Smurphy:  I've just checked my BIOS and now everything works fine
[16:03] <Reez> thanks a lot
[16:03] <lordievader> Reez: What did you change in the BIOS?
[16:04] <BluesKaj> Reez, in the terminal , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , if there is no output from the command the correct kernel module is loaded.
[16:04] <BluesKaj> ok , never mind Reez
[16:05] <Reez> lordievader: I've just enabled my front panel
[16:05] <lordievader> Reez: Heheh :P
[16:06] <Smurphy> OK. You're welcome :}
[16:07] <Smurphy> hrhrhr ... Simplest things usually are the hardest to find :)
[16:08] <Reez> Well Just Another question: I'm on Kubu 12.04 Is it woth to install the 12.10 ?
[16:08] <BluesKaj> kmix was muted , maybe ?
[16:08] <cjae> Can I run a gui program with nohup as long as kdm is still running?
[16:09] <Reez> BluesKaj: No, I've only changed a setting in the BIOS
[16:09] <cjae> Can I run a gui program after logging out with nohup as long as kdm is still running?*
[16:09] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: If the frontpanel is disabled - nothing comes out - whatever the mixer says ;)
[16:09] <Smurphy> cjae: Nope
[16:10] <BluesKaj> which setting Reez ...it would be good to know for future reference , unless you enabled a pci soundcard in the bios or some such
[16:10] <Smurphy> If there is no valid user session running - it won't work.
[16:10] <Smurphy> cjae: what you can do - is setup a VNC Server on your box - run the app there, and disconnect.
[16:10] <BluesKaj> Smurphy, yes , same as muted
[16:10] <Smurphy> You'll be able to reconnect to that X-Session after.
[16:11] <Reez> BluesKaj: I enabled front panel
[16:11] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: It was not muted (We had checked that over).
[16:12] <BluesKaj> enabled the front panel is not a bios option ,I asked what you did in the bios , if anything , Reez
[16:12] <Smurphy> he enabled the frontpanel.
[16:13] <Smurphy> On some systems, you can enable/disable the frontpanel through the BIOS CMOS Setup
[16:13] <lordievader> BluesKaj: Usually for onboard cards you can enable the frontpanel pin headers in the bios.
[16:14] <braintorch> Hi. Is there any way to keep user-defined application positions on taskbar? Like in windows 7?
[16:15] <Smurphy> braintorch: lock widgets ?
[16:16] <BluesKaj> lordievader, seems like an oversight to have those front connections turned off
[16:16] <braintorch> Smurphy: well, it will keep position of taskbar, not position of applications on taskbar, I believe.
[16:16] <Smurphy> braintorch: ack.
[16:16] <braintorch> yep. Like I thought.
[16:17] <BluesKaj> I've never seen them turned of on any pcs I've ever worked on or used
[16:18] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: He has just replaced the Onboard Bufer battery (CR-32 cell), that's what gave me the idea to check the BIOS and reset the defaults etc. and check the audio settings related stuff
[16:18] <lordievader> BluesKaj: I too never understood why the option is there, but it is though.
[16:20] <BluesKaj> Smurphy, I don't get the logic ..turning off those front connections sems like a nasty trick to me ... what oe=rdinary pc user would ever think of having to use the bios to or the cmos to turn them on
[16:20]  * Smurphy loves these options ... It's like putting a strip on the old ball-mice :) The users take ages to figure out what went wrong :D
[16:20] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: If it's doable, and the CMOS setup got lost because of buffer battery failure - it is logical to check IMHO
[16:21] <BluesKaj> well, you're not an ordinary pc user either , so it's logical for you ...nasty for many others
[16:22] <Smurphy> ack
[16:22] <BluesKaj> I'd hate to see my wife have to figure out that front connections for headset were disabled
[16:23] <Smurphy> hrhrhr ... She would ask you ? as does mine :)
[16:23] <Smurphy> So I don't do that stuff to her ...
[16:26] <BluesKaj> Smurphy, I didn't know from any of my experiences that the front audio connections would deliberately be disabled in the bios, and for what reason . It makes little sense
[16:27] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: You right... but I had to deal with so many weird things on the computer side - that I learned to not exclude those things...
[16:27] <BluesKaj> anyway , on to other things ...my friend's hdd is failing , and I can't seem to rescuew the user files
[16:28] <BluesKaj> i'm on a last ditch effort , but it seems hopeless at this point
[16:30] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: already tried to dd them off ???
[16:31] <param_> Hi guys... Could anyone direct me to a channel specific to linux kernel networking?
[16:33] <BluesKaj> Smurphy, couldnt see the user files only the vista system32 OS files ...was using th kubuntu live cd ...anyway it's probly too late and this is offtopic
[16:34] <Smurphy> ack.
[16:36] <dasparrow> anyone heard about sailfish?
[16:36] <BluesKaj> !sailfish
[16:38] <lordievader> !info sailfish
[16:39] <Smurphy> !info pr0n
[16:39] <Smurphy> *rofl*
[16:43] <BluesKaj> dasparrow, are you referring to the computational app or the OS? either way this isn't the place to ask :)
[16:44] <BluesKaj> dasparrow, the OS wiki , https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Main_Page
[16:45] <dasparrow> sorry about that
[16:46] <BluesKaj> or here dasparrow http://sailfish.us.edu.pl/installation.html for the python app

[17:15] <leo_> hi guys..i am trying to compile linux from source am using 3.6
[17:15] <leo_> now am at make menuconfig command
[17:16] <leo_> any tips at this stage to make the kernal more compatable with my system
[17:16] <leo_> do i have to select any specific options for that
[17:16] <leo_> ?
[17:16] <leo_> please help
[17:17] <DarthFrog> leo_: You're in the wrong channel for that sort of advice.  You want #linux.
[17:17] <Smurphy> Nah - linux won't answer.
[17:17] <Smurphy> leo: Why don't you just make an: make oldconfig
[17:17] <Smurphy> then you make a menuconfig - check if there are things you want to remove.
[17:18] <Smurphy> and then you compile it. But go check the Ubuntu Forums, there are threads where they explain it.
[17:18] <leo_> k guys thanks i will try that
