[00:46] <andybrine> just out of interest, does anyone know how to install lotus symphony on 64 bit ubuntu?
[00:46] <andybrine> having real difficulties here
[01:07] <Scunizi> I am trying to rip cd's using Dolphin and its built in ability.  It does present me with several directories of different file types ie ogg, mp3, wave etc.. but when enterning the mp3 directory it is no longer displaying the song files even after 10 minutes of "Loading Folder"... any help appriciated..
[01:20] <timberwolf> My cursor freezes after log in on a non root account
[01:20] <timberwolf> how do I fix this?
[01:35] <timberwolf> anybody?
[01:37] <user94202> Question about the KDE menu.   How do I arrange the games in alphabetical order?
[01:37] <user94202> i have over 100 games but I want the listed alphabetically .
[01:45] <chemtail> network management was working fine two days ago, i turn off the laptop, come home and plug it in, and network manager never seems to send dhcp requests any more
[01:45] <chemtail> i can do 'dhclient eth0' just fine manually, everything works, but the network manager widget just hangs there in the connecting state forever
[01:46] <chemtail> which is really annoying with things like pidgin with built-in NM support, because it flat out refuses to connect to anything as long as it's in that state
[01:46] <chemtail> any ideas how I fix this?
[01:46] <chemtail> already tried removing and re-adding the widget, restarting the underlying services, even rebooting.  nada.
[01:50] <user94202> chemtail:  Maybe add "dhclient eth0" to one of your startup scripts
[01:50] <user94202> at the end of the bootup process somewhere.
[01:50] <frogonwheels> chemtail: has the network manager got stuck as 'disabled' ?
[01:51] <chemtail> frogonwheels: nope.  i've tried disabling and re-enabling it a few times just in case, though.
[01:51] <chemtail> user94202: i've considered a few hackarounds like that, but i'd really, really rather not use them
[01:52] <chemtail> it's an ugly fix.
[01:52] <chemtail> and much as i hate network manager, it's unfortunately the default/standard, so i'd rather just fix it so the setup i have now will work elsewhere later
[01:52] <frogonwheels> chemtail: look in cat /var/run/network/   for stuff
[01:53] <frogonwheels> erm ign th cat.. but you know what i mean
[01:53] <chemtail> not much there :|
[01:57] <user94202> Question 2:   How do I make "Applications" the first TAB in the menu  (NOT favourites).
[01:58] <timberwolf> My cursor freezes after log in on a non root account, how do I fix this?
[02:01] <user94202> timberwolf..  I had my cursor dissapear so i removed "unclutter" and fixed the problem.  sudo apt-get remove unclutter
[02:02] <user94202> or possibly adjust settings in power management
[02:02] <timberwolf> let me try that.
[02:02] <timberwolf> it said it wasn't installed
[02:03] <timberwolf> I have kubuntu 12.10
[02:03] <user94202> ok.. Looks like a different cause then
[02:03] <timberwolf> it is there I just can't move it.
[02:04] <user94202> is the system frozen or just the pointer only?
[02:04] <timberwolf> just the pointer
[02:04] <timberwolf> I have to use the keyboard to log out.
[02:05] <timberwolf> But when I log in as root my cursor works fine
[02:05] <timberwolf> I tried creating a new account to see if it was just that account, but it locked up too
[02:07] <timberwolf> I'm going to change IRC clients
[02:09] <Timberwolf> any other Ideas?
[02:15] <user94202> Timbewolf,  did the mouse pointer always freeze from the time you installed kubuntu?
[02:15] <Timberwolf> no
[02:15] <user94202> at what point did it start freezing?  Recall what you did?
[02:16] <Timberwolf> it happened right after closing EVE Online in wine
[02:16] <Timberwolf> at first I thought it was just my main account
[02:17] <Timberwolf> but it turned out all non root acounts after I did some tests
[02:17] <Timberwolf> I removed my main account and readded it first
[02:17] <Timberwolf> then I created an account with a whole new name
[02:18] <quesada> any way to do a drag lock? Using a trackball to scroll
[02:18] <quesada>  I'd like to program a button to lock the ball in scroll mode
[02:20] <user94202> Timberwolf, since it froze from the time you played eve online,   did you install anything that might have corrupted the system?
[02:20] <Timberwolf> no
[02:21] <Timberwolf> I closed the eve client and as it was closing I was able to move my mouse 50 pixals or so then it just freezes
[02:22] <Timberwolf> and when I log in it freezes after about 1 second
[02:24] <user94202> hmm..who knows?   I would run a dependancy check on my system with "sudo apt-get check" or possibly remove the whole wine subsystem..
[02:24] <Timberwolf> I tried the removing wine thing, no luck
[02:25] <Timberwolf> root@PAT-PC:~# apt-get check
[02:25] <Timberwolf> Reading package lists... Done
[02:25] <Timberwolf> Building dependency tree
[02:25] <Timberwolf> Reading state information... Done
[02:25] <FloodBotK1> Timberwolf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:27] <Timberwolf> thats all it said
[02:28] <user94202> Timberwolf... could be anything...Any experts here??  Disk errors can cause random problems with the desktop so I run a disk check (use a live cd for that).
[02:30] <Timberwolf> ok
[02:32] <user94202> Timberwolf,  process of elimination i suppose to pinpoint the problem.
[02:33] <user94202> sudo dpkg --configure -a      (perhaps??)
[02:33] <user94202> make sure desktop isn't locked???
[02:33] <Timberwolf> I am going to try running a disk check from the hard drive
[02:43] <Timberwolf> Pass completed, 1 bad blocks found. (1/0/0 errors)
[02:52] <user94202> Timberwolf..  Working after a reboot??
[02:53] <Timberwolf> no have not rebooted
[02:53] <Timberwolf> it found a "bad block"
[04:03] <Tex_Nick> i'm not running kubuntu, but i'd like to know if the smb.conf file would be found in /etc/samba/ on kubuntu
[04:04] <Tm_T> Tex_Nick: it is
[04:04] <Tex_Nick> Tm_T : hey thanks
[04:57] <Timberwolf> I cant figure out how to run fsck on my hd from the kubuntu live cd
[05:06] <heoyea> mount ur drive
[05:06] <heoyea> then run it
[05:06] <Timberwolf> the live cd wouldnt let me
[05:07] <Timberwolf> mount i mean
[05:07] <heoyea> try sudo with it
[05:07] <Timberwolf> i did
[05:07] <DaZ> what's up :v
[05:08] <heoyea> errors?
[05:08] <Timberwolf> I dont remember what it said
[05:08] <Timberwolf> I just need to do a disk check
[05:10] <heoyea> well u need to mount ur drive
[05:10] <Timberwolf> I ran across something that said I could run init 1 then unmount to run it without a live cd
[05:10] <Timberwolf> but init 1 just locked my pc up
[05:12] <heoyea> try booting into recovery mode
[05:12] <Timberwolf> then run the command?
[05:12] <heoyea> ye
[05:12] <Timberwolf> ok
[07:01] <user94202> How do I enable random screensavers.  All I get is black screen.
[07:04] <user94202> also OpenGL for effects rendering crashes the system
[07:06] <sbivol> user94202: you probably have some issues with the fraphics driver
[07:06] <sbivol> what video card are you using?
[07:07] <sbivol> s/fraphics/graphics
[07:08] <user94202> Video card:  GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x   (I'm using open source driver included with kubuntu).
[07:10] <user94202> Interesting...When I set the screensave to enable in 1 minute it works fine.  But 15minutes gives me a black screen.
[07:12] <user94202> < Set screensaver to start in 9 minutes.  waiting...
[07:17] <sbivol> user94202: Try switching the compositing backend to XRender from OpenGL
[07:17] <sbivol> some effects will work then
[07:19] <OerHeks> user94202, check energy saving > dim display
[07:20] <sbivol> user94202: if I'm not mistaken, your card might not support OpenGL 2 and KWin is not happy to run with  OpenGL 1. I could be wrong, but anyway, try XRender
[07:22] <user94202> Yes i selected xrender as it refused to use openGL anyway.  I lost my transparent taskbar and random screensavers.
[07:23] <user94202> OerHeks, I have "dim display" disabled
[07:24] <user94202> As stated, it could be a conflict with my old video card.  But if i can get random xscreensavers working that's fine.
[07:25] <user94202> I don't like a black screensaver because it looks like the PC has shutdown.  (prefer random animations).
[07:42] <user94202> random screensavers now work with 9 minutes delay.
[07:44] <Wizard> Good morning, everybody :)
[08:36] <Thundarr> I have decided I like you people the most of all clan buntus.
[08:36] <OerHeks> :-)
[08:37] <Thundarr> I pledge my sword to you.
[08:41] <jussi> Thundarr: come join us in #kubuntu-offtopic to talk about it :D
[09:21] <reiz> helo
[09:21] <reiz> hi
[09:56] <azrael_> Hi, Could anyone help me? Because I've a Atheros AR9285 Wireless controller, which has some signal power problems, I had to use the compat wireless driver. I  installed this group di drivers but the problems are not solved and the VGA drivers don't work! In fact the resolution is low and I think there are some problems loading the relative module.
[10:17] <user94202> "something" keeps putting my monitor into standby when screensavers should be running.
[10:17] <user94202> screensaver works briefly, then blanks out.
[10:30] <Kalidarn> is it possible to use Ayatana in KDE?
[10:30] <Kalidarn> or is there a proper way to do this native to KDE (not using the Ayatana scrollbars project)
[10:31] <Kalidarn> I really miss those minimalistic, bars that I have on my mac
[10:38] <Wizard> Kalidarn: You can either look for Qt theme with such scrollbars, or edit Oxygen properties.
[10:39] <Wizard> It is possible to make scrollbars thinner for sure, I bet you can also disable arrows.
[10:39] <Kalidarn> yeah i think that's what is required
[10:39] <Wizard> Start with Oxygen props.
[10:45] <soie> how can i record a video on my desktop?
[10:48] <Kevin-Emsys> soie: a regular screen capturer would do. A good one i used in the past for making videos is FRAPS but it's not free.
[10:48] <soie> Kevin-Emsys: i'm looking for a free/opensource one
[10:49] <Wizard> soie: xvidcap was nice.
[10:49] <Wizard> I used it.
[10:49] <Kevin-Emsys> Have you seen this one soie ? http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/10-free-screen-recording-softwares-for-creating-attractive-screencasts/
[10:50] <soie> thanks, nice
[11:00] <user94202> Is it ok to disable power management on a desktop pc?
[11:00] <user94202> disable power management service?
[11:14] <swarfega> user94202 i just disable what i need in system settings - energy saving
[11:17] <user94202> swarfega:  I found another method in the terminal:  xset -dpms   (disables energy star features) and i set monitor dimming to 360 minutes.  Will test it later.
[11:17] <swarfega> ah cool
[11:17] <swarfega> i prefer to turn monitors off myself rather than the machine do it
[11:32] <azrael_> Hi, Could anyone help me? Because I've a Atheros AR9285 Wireless controller, which has some signal power problems, I had to use the compat wireless driver.

[11:51] <vince__> hi there! does any of you have ever run a DisplayLink adapter on natty ?
[11:54] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:18] <Syria> :|
[12:19] <Syria> wq
[14:25] <jeroen-> Sorry if this question is asked 1 million times, but: Is Kubuntu now supported by Canonical or Blue Systems?
[14:25] <jeroen-> On the Kubuntu website I still see Canonical
[14:32] <BluesKaj> jeroen-, Blue Systems
[14:33] <jeroen-> BluesKaj:  OK thanks, but why do I still read Canonical on the website?
[14:36] <BluesKaj> jeroen-, probly because the ubuntu core is still canonical , and bluesystems supports kubuntu , which is the ubuntu core with the kde desktop ...it's more complex than that , but simply put that's the best description I can think of.
[14:38] <BluesKaj> jeroen-, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Systems
[14:38] <jeroen-> BluesKaj:  Ok thanks.
[14:44] <jeroen-> Looking for a KDE distro. Currently running Ubuntu. I'm currently in doubt between Mint KDE and Kubuntu. Any advice? What's the difference between those two btw? I see Kubuntu is more a vanilla KDE install. Is that all?
[14:45] <OerHeks> You might want to choose by support :-)
[14:46] <jeroen-> OerHeks:  You mean paid support or a larger support community?
[14:46] <mr-rich> jeroen-: Kubuntu uses the same rebos as Ubuntu ...
[14:46] <OerHeks> Large active community support yes
[14:47] <OerHeks> mntkde<>kubuntu
[14:47] <jeroen-> OerHeks:  so the kubuntu community is bigger as mintkde?
[14:48] <jeroen-> than
[14:48] <OerHeks> Yes, i think so.
[14:48] <OerHeks> but hey, try it and investigate what is working good for you
[14:50] <jeroen-> OerHeks:  they both look good
[14:50] <BluesKaj> jer , judging from the linuxmint chat population then kubuntu has over 5 times the support population
[14:50] <BluesKaj> jeroen-,^
[14:50] <jeroen-> Let me ask the same question in the mintkde chat ;)
[14:51] <OerHeks> my best advise, also with ubuntu desktops, install side/by/side
[14:51] <BluesKaj> jeroen-, I can imagine what the reaction will be :)
[14:51] <OerHeks> or be smart, run virtualbox :-)
[14:51] <jeroen-> BluesKaj:  yes, thats why I also asked in #kde :)
[16:05] <Peace-> paco_: hi
[16:05] <paco_> hi Peace
[16:06] <paco_> alguien habla español?
[16:08] <Peace-> !es | paco
[16:09] <paco_> ok gracias ubottu
[16:25] <jessie> So, I installed mysql yesterday and now Akonadi is refusing to start. I get this error: http://paste.kde.org/636596/
[16:30] <jessie> And by installed mysql I mean I ran "sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server libmysqld-dev"
[16:38] <yossarianuk> is kde 4.9.5 coming to the kubuntu ppa ?
[16:39] <jessie> Which PPA?
[16:39] <jessie> Because I already have 4.9.5
[16:39] <yossarianuk> the latest stable opne
[16:39] <yossarianuk> *one*
[16:40] <yossarianuk> i.e   -  ppa:kubuntu-ppa
[16:40] <yossarianuk> right now its on 4.9.4
[16:40] <yossarianuk> 4.9.5 came out a day or so ago
[16:40] <jessie> I would guess so, but I am unsure.
[16:40] <jessie> I'm on the beta ppa.
[16:41] <yossarianuk> so your running 4.9.10 beta ?
[16:41] <yossarianuk> sorry 4.10 beta
[16:43] <jessie> Yeah, I guess that's probably accurate. 4.10 RC2 is what it is, I think.
[16:46] <DarthFrog> Isn't 4.9.95 the current beta version?
[16:48] <jessie> My version says 4.9.95.
[16:48] <jessie> And that's the 4.10 beta.
[16:51] <Basil1x> OK... more weirdness involving sound.  12.10.  Says I have removed my CONEXANT sound card, and do I want to remove the drivers for it, This is a laptop, and I have done no such thing.  After this, though, the sound obviously does not work.  Is this an 'open the case' issue, or a software fix?
[16:51] <DarthFrog> Basil1x:  Likely it's pulseaudio taking control.
[16:52] <Basil1x> OK.  but the sound does not work.
[16:53] <Basil1x> I do not care what controls the audio, only that I have it.
[16:53] <DarthFrog> Pulse is great when it works.  Pulse is a PITA when it doesn't.
[16:54] <Basil1x> Lovely.  Is there a fix?  or am I to be forever rebooting for the ~25min-1hr of blessed sound it allows me?
[16:55] <Basil1x> This just started a week or so ago
[16:55] <DarthFrog> What happens at that time?
[16:55] <Basil1x> nothing at all.  Just installed the regular upgrades.
[16:56] <DarthFrog> And it deletes the sound card drivers?
[16:56] <Basil1x> Have tried a fresh install since, which did *not* improve things
[16:56] <DarthFrog> Until you reboot?
[16:56] <Basil1x> I told it not to, and to quit asking
[16:56] <DarthFrog> Well, you could try installing pavucontrol and use that to set your output device, etc.
[16:56] <Basil1x> yes until I reboot
[16:56] <DarthFrog> Odd.
[16:57] <Basil1x> Yes, odd... and demmed irritating
[16:57] <Basil1x> lemme see... pavucontrol, you say.
[16:58] <DarthFrog> It's what I use.
[16:59] <Basil1x> already installed
[16:59] <DarthFrog> Then run it. :-)
[17:00] <Basil1x> It insists all is right with the world
[17:01] <Basil1x> but then, for now, I have sound
[17:01] <Basil1x> should I break the sound, and then run it again?  Easily done... all I hafta do is sit and wait.
[17:02] <jessie> So, I guess no one saw my question earlier, so I'll ask again: I installed mysql yesterday and now Akonadi is refusing to start. I get this error: http://paste.kde.org/636596/
[17:04] <Basil1x> jessie: do you run bleachbit?
[17:04] <BluesKaj> Basil1x, which soundcard ?
[17:04] <Basil1x> bcos it looks like you've removed the .conf file to me
[17:05] <Basil1x> CONEXANT sound card
[17:05] <jessie> I've checked the .conf file. It's there.
[17:05] <jessie> Contents of mysql.conf file: http://paste.kde.org/636662/
[17:05] <BluesKaj> Basil1x, which audio chip is listed in alsamixer at the upper left ?
[17:06] <Basil1x> HDA Intel PCH
[17:10] <BluesKaj> Basil1x, try adding your audio driver with root permissions , to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , 'options snd-hda-intel index=0' , without the quotes . This should solidify your alsa module settings on the next reboot.
[17:12] <Basil1x> BluesKaj: Should that go top or bottom of the options?
[17:13] <BluesKaj> Basil1x, just at the bottom of file is sufficient
[17:14] <BluesKaj> it makes the hda kernel module the default (card0)
[17:14] <Basil1x> Won't save
[17:15] <BluesKaj> open it with root permissions
[17:16] <Basil1x> so sudo kate it?
[17:17] <BluesKaj> sudo nano in the terminal or kdesudo kate in the krunner (alt+f2)
[17:17] <Wizard> kdesudo is better ;)
[17:17] <Wizard> (for GUI apps)
[17:19] <Basil1x> fabulous.  Now I should reboot, and try to break the sound?
[17:20] <diawara> hepl , I want to use Linux MCE
[17:20] <DarthFrog> diawara:  Then go to #Linux-MCE channel.
[17:21] <DarthFrog> This channel is for Kubuntu support.
[17:21] <Basil1x> brb
[17:21] <diawara> can you tell me how to instal un softwar
[17:22] <DarthFrog> diawara:  sudo apt-get remove <package name>
[17:22] <DarthFrog> Or use the Muon GUI.
[17:22] <diawara> DarthFrog  :can you tell me how to instal un softwar
[17:22] <DarthFrog> I just did.
[17:22] <diawara> i think its install
[17:23] <DarthFrog> Oh, install, not uninstall. :-)   Replace "remove" with "install" in the apt-get command.
[17:23] <DarthFrog> diawara: You can use the "apt-cache search <string>" to find package names.
[17:24] <Basil1x> OK... rebooted... now to try to break the sound
[17:25] <DarthFrog> Basil1x:  A good bout of percussive maintenance should do that.  :-)
[17:25] <diawara> DarthFrog :   ok LET ME TRY
[17:25] <diawara> DarthFrog  : IM COME
[17:25] <BluesKaj> or sudo modprobe sn-hda-intel
[17:25] <DarthFrog> diawara:  You have my permission to try.  :-)
[17:25] <diawara> ok THANK
[17:25] <BluesKaj> Basil1x,^
[17:25] <DarthFrog> snd-hda-intel
[17:26] <BluesKaj> yes , snd
[17:27] <Wizard> Hi o/
[17:27] <Wizard> (Again)
[17:27] <DarthFrog> Or "lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel" first to see if it was auto-loaded.
[17:28] <BluesKaj> I have 2 soundcards , so the pci is card0 or index=0 in the alsabase.conf , and intel onboard is index=1 for the hdmi audio
[17:28] <Wizard> Akonadi is driving me mad :D
[17:28] <BluesKaj> do you need a large email database Wizard?
[17:29] <diawara> OK , sooo tel how I can find Linux MCE ... ?
[17:29] <BluesKaj> GOOGLE diawara
[17:29] <Basil1x> seems to be working... will know in an hour.  that's when the sound usually fails
[17:29] <Wizard> No, I need to handle two IMAP accounts, BluesKaj :)
[17:30] <diawara> I'm mean use or instal
[17:30] <BluesKaj> sending or receiving Wizard?
[17:30] <Wizard> Both.
[17:30] <DarthFrog> Basil1x:  if sound fails, check the logs.  /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log & /var/log/syslog is where I'd start looking.
[17:30] <BluesKaj> can't thunderbird handle IMAP accts ?
[17:31] <DarthFrog> Yes it can.
[17:31] <Wizard> Yes, but I don't like it :/
[17:31] <DarthFrog> I've been using Gmail IMAP with Tbird for years.
[17:31] <BluesKaj> Wizard, do you like hair shirts too? :)
[17:32] <Basil1x> DarthFrog: Thanks.  Will do.  Will also buy an I dentical computer to this and see if it's a Toshiba problem. <I need another Laptop, anyway ;) >
[17:33] <BluesKaj> kmail/akonadi is too buggy on my system ..T-Bird handle 4 email accts here without a hitch including gmail/IMAP
[17:33] <DarthFrog> Basil1x:   And if the second one has the same problem?  Then you've got two unsatisfactory systems.
[17:34] <Wizard> Hair shirts? :D
[17:34] <BluesKaj> itchy as hell and uncomfortable
[17:34] <Basil1x> DarthFrog: No... then I pop the original HDD back in, and return it :D
[17:34] <Wizard> BluesKaj: Akonadi is awful. Kmail was such a nice email client. And now? Every update does magic to my imap accounts.
[17:35] <BluesKaj> does magic ?
[17:35] <Wizard> Yeah, clones of my mailboxes appear and disappear and so.
[17:35] <DarthFrog> I gave up on Kmail due to its inability to properly handle HTML mail.
[17:35]  * Basil1x is good at returning things to stores
[17:35] <BluesKaj> ahh evil magic
[17:36] <Wizard> Yup.

[17:43] <kristjan> here is the instructions
[17:43] <kristjan> so i am ready
[17:44] <kristjan> if anyone is bored , plese help me
[17:45] <jdrs> easier way is to get ffmpeg, convert your .avi files to .mpg, then use cat command to concatenate them then convert the merged .mpg file to .avi
[17:45] <kristjan> yeah
[17:46] <kristjan> very easy for newbe
[17:46] <kristjan> is there any app that makes life easyer?
[17:47] <kristjan> i have problems with kdenlive
[17:51] <Wizard> What problems?
[17:53] <Basil1x> kristjan: I have had good results with mkvmerge GUI
[17:54] <Basil1x> kdenlive is a memory hog
[17:55] <kristjan> Basil1 where can i get that?
[17:56] <Basil1x> it's in the repositories...
[17:57] <Basil1x> make sure the avis are the same size and use the same audio before you use it, though, or else you'll have issues.
[17:58] <Basil1x> which, if you're trying to merge them, they should be already :)
[17:58] <kristjan> same size?
[17:59] <Basil1x> as in the video has the same aspect ratio and pixel number... like 640x480, or 640x360
[18:01] <kristjan> ok
[18:02] <Basil1x> Width height framerate and codec must all be the same :)
[18:02] <kristjan> yes they should be same
[18:03] <Basil1x> then you're laughing.
[18:03] <Basil1x> be sure to, after you add the files, join them
[18:04] <Basil1x> use 'append' rather than 'add
[18:04] <kristjan> i messed up my first try but will see whats gonna hapend now
[18:06] <kristjan> Error: The track number 1 from the file '/home/kristjan/Desktop/MOV_0123.avi' cannot be appended to the track number 1 from the file '/home/kristjan/Desktop/MOV_0121.avi'. The track parameters do not match.
[18:07] <Basil1x> OK... you've got either a codec difference, or an audio difference... run the files through Handbrake and make them identical first. :)
[18:10] <kristjan> dimentions are the same
[18:10] <Basil1x> are the audio properties the same?  Track 1 is usually audio
[18:11] <kristjan> bitrate is different
[18:13] <Basil1x> OK... I'd recommend Handbrake... does a fast, good job remuxing files. in terminal: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
[18:13] <kristjan> i have it installed
[18:13] <Basil1x> then sudo apt-get update
[18:13] <Basil1x> and install handbrake :)
[18:14] <kristjan> i installed it last week
[18:14] <Basil1x> ah
[18:14] <Basil1x> excellent
[18:14] <kristjan> yeah
[18:14] <kristjan> hope i can use it after this chat
[18:15] <kristjan> i know how to use it
[18:15] <kristjan> i hope i know how to use it
[18:15] <kristjan> now i got it right
[18:15] <Basil1x> OK... just make sure everything is the same in all 3 files before you append them
[18:16] <kristjan> Ok i changed bitrate but how to i save it now
[18:17] <Basil1x> press start
[18:18] <Basil1x> OH... did you make mkvs or mp4s?  mkvs are more easily appended.
[18:18] <kristjan> mkv
[18:18] <Basil1x> good
[18:21] <nafg_> KDE regularly falls back to xrender. When it does, translucency turns into transparency. Any solution?
[18:26] <Basil1x> nafg_: that's a question for other minds than me... I can handle muxing questions, and that's about all. :)  someone else here will hafta help you.
[18:27] <Basil1x> kristjan: how's the recoding going?
[18:27] <kristjan> ou sorry  :) i got so into this
[18:28] <kristjan> belive it or not its all done
[18:28] <kristjan> thank you
[18:28] <Basil1x> ooh!  it worked?
[18:28] <kristjan> yes
[18:28] <Basil1x> goodoh
[18:28] <kristjan> really big thanks to you
[18:29] <Basil1x> mo problem... my kinda question :D
[18:29] <Basil1x> mo = no
[18:29] <kristjan> lucky u was here
[18:29] <Basil1x> apparently, I can't type today, though
[18:30] <Basil1x> lucky I had an audio problem today ;)
[18:41] <Basil1x> OK... that's me off... dad's interrment is today.
[18:41] <Basil1x> TTFN o//
[19:13] <Basil1x> OK... sound's gone again
[19:13] <Basil1x> I fear this is a real hardware problem
[19:17] <Basil1x> alsamixer detects the card, says everything should be working, but still no sound
[19:18] <Basil1x> should I take this thing in to MicroCenter, or are there still things to try?
[19:20] <BluesKaj> is this a laptop , Basil1x ?
[19:20] <Basil1x> it is
[19:21] <Basil1x> I'd have already had it apart and inspected the innards, else.
[19:21] <BluesKaj> then maybe your power /sleep settings are shutting the audio power down , somehow
[19:24] <Basil1x> I have it set to never, ever, ever, sleep at all, no matter what, period. :)
[19:27] <nafg_> How can I install linux on a machine without a cd or usb?
[19:28] <Basil1x> what *does* it have, nafg_?
[19:28] <Graf_Westerholt> nafg_, you can install it from network.
[19:28] <nafg_> Graf_Westerholt: how?
[19:28] <nafg_> netwrok boot?
[19:29] <nafg_> It has windows now
[19:29] <Graf_Westerholt> I do not know, never did. But I guess the Internet knows. ;)
[19:29] <nafg_> Any way to download it and begin the install from within windows?
[19:29] <Graf_Westerholt> nafg_, yes, you can do it.
[19:29] <nafg_> How?
[19:30] <Graf_Westerholt> But nevere did that either.
[19:30] <BluesKaj> wubi or a VM
[19:30] <Graf_Westerholt> Right, wubi is it :D
[19:30] <nafg_> Doesn't wubi install inside windows?
[19:30] <TheLordOfTime> BluesKaj, don't you need to be able to run the ISO first?
[19:30] <nafg_> I want to make to replace windows
[19:30] <BluesKaj> nafg_, yes
[19:30] <Basil1x> OK... time to inter dad.  BBL
[19:31] <TheLordOfTime> for wubi.
[19:31] <BluesKaj> install wubi then , point wubi to the iso IIRC
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> BluesKaj, their goal is to remove windows, can they do that without USB or CD/DVD?
[19:36] <yofel> well, you could boot an ISO using PXE and tftp probably, but I've never tried that
[19:37] <BluesKaj> TheLordOfTime, I have no idea how one woiuld do that
[19:37] <TheLordOfTime> yofel, that's assuming the system supports PXE boot
[19:37] <TheLordOfTime> BluesKaj, nor I
[19:38] <genii-around> I've done it
[19:38] <yofel> well, yeah
[19:38] <BluesKaj> hey genii-around , LTNS ...ok how is it done ?
[19:38] <yofel> but you need to get the image from *somewhere*
[19:39] <genii-around> This site explains fairly well how to do it: https://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install    it's what i used as a guideline previously
[19:43] <BluesKaj> genii-around, what media would he use to do this ...he wants to wipe windows but has no cdrom or usb
[19:44] <nafg_> This seems to be what I need: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[19:44] <nafg_> Frugal install
[19:46] <genii-around> BluesKaj: You d/l the iso image to another box, loop-mount it there and configure the pxeboot to use that. The box with PXE but no usb/cd is hooked by crossover or switch to this machine which does the dhcp/tftp booting sequence for it. You can even use a livecd on this other machine if it has Windows or some other OS you don't want to wipe
[19:48] <genii-around> If it's an extremely ancient machine with floppy and no PXE you can get it to do PXE with Rom-O-Matic floppy
[19:48] <BluesKaj> maybe the frugal method will work too
[19:49] <BluesKaj> or buy a usb stick or cdrom fpr 20 bucks :)
[19:53] <jeroen-> yeah I'm having kubuntu
[19:53] <jeroen-> great!!!
[19:54] <jeroen-> one important question: how to configure fonts and colourS?
[19:57] <BluesKaj> jeroen-, kmenu>computer>system settings>app appearance
[20:00] <Wizard> BluesKaj++
[20:00] <Wizard> Akonadi fighting part two.
[20:00] <jeroen-> got it
[20:01] <jeroen-> I did expected it under display and look & feel
[20:01] <jeroen-> anyhow, I'm very happy :)
[20:01] <jeroen-> looks great
[20:02] <BluesKaj> good :)
[20:02] <jeroen-> do not understand the activity manager
[20:02] <BluesKaj> nor do I :)
[20:02] <jeroen-> haha
[20:02] <jeroen-> yeah, better to delete the taskbar enrty
[20:02] <BluesKaj> seems like redundancy to me'
[20:03] <BluesKaj> I use the virtual desktops with their own widgets which means you can have differnt apps open on differnt frdktops
[20:03] <BluesKaj> err desktops
[20:04] <jeroen-> actually I stopped using virtual desktops years ago
[20:04] <jeroen-> I just keep everything clean
[20:04] <Wizard> I removed "three dot" icon. I use one desktop and icon only task manager. The best ;D
[20:04] <jeroen-> two, three task max
[20:05] <BluesKaj> I reinstalled windows on a spare hdd and I really miss that
[20:05] <jeroen-> what I always miss on windows is the middle click copy/paste function
[20:06] <Graf_Westerholt> What I miss on Windows is to drag Windows by holding the "alt"-key.
[20:06] <BluesKaj> jeroen-,_, set the number of VDs in systensettings>workspace behaviour
[20:07] <jeroen-> BluesKaj:  I did that the first time after I logged in :)
[20:08] <BluesKaj> :)
[20:09] <jeroen-> question about Style > Graphical effects: what does KDE think is a high/low resolution and a high/low CPU?
[20:11] <BluesKaj> jeroen-, that's also a mystery to me , no matter how I set that , there doesn't seem to be anu effect
[20:11] <BluesKaj> any
[20:11] <Wizard> Same observation.
[20:11] <jeroen-> I changed it now to high resolution (1920x1080) and high CPU (quatro core Intell i3-2100 CPU @3.10GHz)
[20:11] <jeroen-> or should I set it higher?
[20:11] <jeroen-> ok BluesKaj
[20:13] <BluesKaj> jeroen-, set your resolution in display & monitor
[20:15] <jeroen-> BluesKaj:  resolution is fine
[20:16] <BluesKaj> yes as opposed to application appearnce>fine tuning
[20:17] <Wizard> ::)
[20:43] <CoJaBo> Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad? It seems to be growing more and more prone to spurious clicks, to the point it is now completely unusable
[20:43] <ksiads> Quick question.  Which Linux to use for easiest file server connection to a Windows network?

[20:43] <bazhang> CoJaBo, stop that
[20:47] <CoJaBo> so yeh, basically it does that every few seconds. ideas?
[20:47] <CoJaBo> (switched it off for now)
[20:48] <musca> ksiads: which answer do you expect in an ubuntu channel?
[20:49] <claire_> salut j'ai un problème avec les mises a jour ubuntu 10.04
[20:49] <CoJaBo> ksiads: The answer, I'd imagine, would be "all of them".
[20:51] <ksiads> Can you point me to an article that makes it "easy" to set up file sharing with Ubuntu?  Yes, I've Googled it, but I still can't crack it.
[20:51] <CoJaBo> As client or server?
[20:52] <ksiads> Client
[20:53] <CoJaBo> In Kubuntu, you just need to go to "Network" in the file manager
[20:54] <ksiads> OK, that's it.  I'm getting rid of my Ubuntu install and replacing it with Kubuntu.  K seems more Windows-friendly.
[20:55] <ksiads> I know they're sort of the same, but Kubuntu seems like it comes pre-installed for Windows users.  Is this correct?
[20:56] <mmo> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with a Windows friendly interface (KDE thats where the K in Kubuntu comes from)
[20:58] <mmo> If you're new to Linux, try the LTS (Long Term Support) versions. F.i. Kubuntu 12.04
[21:07] <CoJaBo> Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad? It seems to be growing more and more prone to spurious clicks, to the point it is now completely unusable
[22:09] <alexander__b> if I get a lts kubuntu, will installing the newest blender and gimp be hassle-free?
[22:10] <alexander__b> well, I won't be getting it for myself, but the question remains.
[22:14] <dougl> define "hassle-free"
[22:16] <alexander__b> dougl: it doesn't implode because you have to mix branches like in opensuse
[22:16] <alexander__b> well, blender was just impossible and had to be installed from the binary on the project page.
[22:44] <quesada>  any way to do a drag lock? Using a trackball to scroll? I'd like to program a button to lock the ball in scroll mode
[22:44] <quesada> kde has the most options, but I don't think I found this one :)
[22:46] <CoJaBo> Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad? It seems to be growing more and more prone to spurious clicks, to the point it is now completely unusable
[22:47] <alexander__b> how/where do I browse the repositories of kubuntu releases?
[22:57] <monkeyjuice> CoJaBo: hit the kickoff button then in the search type touchpad
[22:58] <CoJaBo> monkeyjuice: Theres no setting for sensitivity there
[23:01] <monkeyjuice> that would be the setting i know of CoJaBo
[23:01] <CoJaBo> :/
[23:04] <monkeyjuice> CoJaBo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/231425/how-do-i-decrease-touchpad-sensitivity-in-kde-kubuntu-on-dell-inspiron  might be something to read
[23:05] <m_tadeu> hi...nepomuk is not indexing pdf files...what can I do to solve this?
[23:06] <CoJaBo> monkeyjuice: ..none of the replies seem to answer the question :/
[23:58] <bjrohan> I am using kubuntu, and have created a new activity (called A/V). If I go into my system settings, and go to the global shortcuts, I can add a shortcut to the default "desktop" activity, I however don't see my new A/V activity listed to I can create a shortcut key. Any suggestions?
