| metap0d | Hey everyone, is there an easy means to revertan Nvidia driver? I added the edgers PPA to try out the latest Nvidia drivers but they're pretty unstable. Unfortunately in my additional drivers dialog the new experimental driver has replaced my old current. | 03:40 |
| metap0d | revert* | 03:41 |
| Glitchd | can anyone give me a clue as to how i would go about writing a scritp to launch a program that is in /usr/bin ? | 04:30 |
| dniMretsaM | Glitchd: using what, bash? | 04:31 |
| Glitchd | dniMretsaM, ummm....idk | 04:31 |
| Glitchd | dniMretsaM, its an "sh" script if that helps toward your question | 04:32 |
| Glitchd | dniMretsaM, its to launch a program called "x11vnc" | 04:32 |
| dniMretsaM | that would be using bash, most likely. you can simply put a call to that file in your script | 04:32 |
| Glitchd | dniMretsaM, this is what i have so far | 04:32 |
| Glitchd | #!/bin/bash | 04:33 |
| Glitchd | /usr/bin/x11vnc.sh | 04:33 |
| dniMretsaM | and that doesn't work? | 04:33 |
| Glitchd | nope | 04:33 |
| Glitchd | says its not there | 04:33 |
| jazzkutya | drop the .sh unless if it really is /usr/bin/x11vnc.sh | 04:33 |
| jazzkutya | -if | 04:33 |
| dniMretsaM | yeah, what he said | 04:33 |
| Glitchd | jazzkutya, in the bin folder, its just an icon with "x11vnc" no ending or anything. | 04:35 |
| Glitchd | jazzkutya, i thought i was an sh file | 04:35 |
| Glitchd | thats hilarious. it worked. | 04:36 |
| Glitchd | now i need to add that script to startup at boot | 04:36 |
| Glitchd | i have it on my server and i would be convenient if it would just start then i dont have to log in with ssh and start it then log in with vnc | 04:37 |
| Glitchd | i could just log in with vnc | 04:37 |
| Glitchd | cuts a few step out of the equation | 04:37 |
| Glitchd | how would i add that script to start with the machine | 04:37 |
| Glitchd | =? | 04:37 |
| Glitchd | **? | 04:38 |
| jazzkutya | does that x11vnc start it's own session like the vncserver i use? | 04:39 |
| jazzkutya | or it uses the session it was started from? | 04:39 |
| Glitchd | jazzkutya, dont quite understand what u mean.. | 04:40 |
| === curt is now known as Guest39473 | ||
| jazzkutya | well then you better not administer any server on the internet :) | 04:41 |
| Glitchd | wait i understand after reading it again.. | 04:41 |
| Glitchd | it starts its own session | 04:42 |
| jazzkutya | does it change to an unprivileged user if started as root? | 04:42 |
| Glitchd | ...nope wrong. it uses the current session | 04:42 |
| jazzkutya | i'm not on linux right now to check this | 04:42 |
| jazzkutya | well then it's complicated | 04:43 |
| Glitchd | i made an .sh script to start it, i just need to know how to add the .sh script to session and startup, and if that will even work. | 04:43 |
| jazzkutya | somehow you can setup autologin with ubuntu i guess... i was able to do this with 8.04 i don't know how it works with current ubuntu | 04:43 |
| Glitchd | i dont need it to autologin.. | 04:44 |
| Glitchd | ok screw that question, answer this. | 04:45 |
| jazzkutya | you have to autostart your script from kde _and_ setup autologin so the the system will automatically start a kde session to which you can connect to with kde | 04:45 |
| Glitchd | im adding it to session and startup, for the command i put /home/***/x11vnc.sh | 04:46 |
| jazzkutya | but afaik ubuntu has a vnc server builtin that can be set up with simple gui | 04:46 |
| Glitchd | or do i have to put /home/***/./x11vnc.sh | 04:46 |
| Glitchd | ? | 04:46 |
| jazzkutya | they are the same | 04:49 |
| Glitchd | oh.. | 04:49 |
| Glitchd | thought it was imparative to put the "./" to make sh scripts launch.. | 04:50 |
| jazzkutya | in commandline yes but not in an absolute path | 04:50 |
| jazzkutya | an absolute path is one that starts with / | 04:50 |
| Glitchd | mmk, good to know. | 04:51 |
| Glitchd | thx | 04:51 |

| FlowRiser | Hey all, i'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with unity+compiz; I want to switch to kde as easy as possible; What's the best course of action ? | 14:33 |
| Peace- | FlowRiser: just install kubuntu-desktop package | 14:44 |
| Peace- | FlowRiser: and remove unity | 14:44 |
| Peace- | !purekde | 14:44 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 14:44 |
| BluesKaj | FlowRiser, install kubuntu-desktop , then you cah remove ubuntu-desktop if you wish | 14:44 |
| FlowRiser | Peace-, BluesKaj, thanks will do :) | 14:45 |
| Peace- | BluesKaj: for you information removing ubuntu-desktop doesn't remove all the packages :P | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | yes , he has to purge them | 14:45 |
| Peace- | BluesKaj: mmm ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage | 14:45 |
| === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 | ||
| BluesKaj | yeah , but the page you poated for pure kde used to be behind anbd didn't include 12.10 until recently , hence my suggestions, Peace- | 14:47 |
| Peace- | BluesKaj: have you tried with purge? | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | that page takes ages to update , I'm surprised | 14:47 |
| Peace- | for what i remember it doesn't do the job | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | yes it woks ok but it's more work | 14:48 |
| Peace- | ah | 14:48 |
| Peace- | BluesKaj: never installed unity :P | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | I did , but switched to gnome shell very quickly , then after a week i got rid of it as well | 14:49 |
| Peace- | BluesKaj: :P echo $(apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | awk '/Depen/ || /Rec/{ gsub(/\,/,"") ;gsub(/Recommends:/,"");gsub(/Depends:/,""); print} ' | awk '{ printf "%s", $0 }') | 14:50 |

| Peace- | BluesKaj: i used this method to reinstall kde :D http://nowardev.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/reinstall-kde/ | 14:51 |
| BluesKaj | well after removing gnome i just purged all the ubuntu apps except for synaptic and then used autremove and autoclean after a reboot ...seems to have done the job ..I'm still running the same install | 14:52 |

| Das_Auge | Hello, is there a certain way to tell KDM at which reslution to start? | 15:07 |
| FlowRiser | Ok, so i'm downloading the kubuntu-desktop package | 15:11 |
| FlowRiser | can i just disable unity, rather than uninstalling it ? | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | FlowRiser, you can choose which desktop to run at the login page | 15:13 |
| bazhang | sure | 15:13 |
| bazhang | choose kde4, or whatever others you have installed , such as gnome-shell, gnome-panel, xfce4 etc | 15:13 |
| FlowRiser | BluesKaj, that might be a problem ... thanks for reminding me to change the login screen to unity-greeter; I'm running a custom greeter | 15:14 |
| FlowRiser | Haven't gotten the chance to add a user session change :D | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | personally i think the greeter page i kde is fugly ...it's greyblue theme is awful | 15:17 |
| FlowRiser | BluesKaj, that's why i'm installing kde, to help d_ed work on his greeter themes | 15:19 |
| yofel | lightdm-greeter-kde just uses the default kde background by default. (Meaning it looks much better with 4.10...) | 15:20 |
| FlowRiser | BluesKaj, my current greeter theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBFlNp13MQ0 | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | there is an option to change the bckground on the greeter page in system settings login page but it rarely works | 15:20 |
| FlowRiser | Right, so i guess it installed... fingers crossed. | 15:23 |
| FlowRiser | BluesKaj, it worked! i now have kde installed, tbh it's slower than unity+compiz, but it looks great | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | FlowRiser, kwin uses version of compiz , you can get most of the same effects in kmenu>computer>sytemsettings>desktop effects | 15:36 |
| BluesKaj | without using compiz | 15:37 |
| ovidiu-florin_ | Hello world, I have a problem with kontact and Kmail, I crashes. I've only managed to set up my Gmail account on it and since then I can't start it anymore. Any Ideeas? | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | ovidiu-florin_, unless you need a database email system for work or home office , don't use kmail if it crashes on your system ..I use thunderbird | 15:41 |
| ovidiu-florin_ | then Why does kubuntu ship with Kmail? | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | ovidiu-florin_, that's what a lot of KDE users have wonderedd about for the last 3yrs , but one can disable akonadi server for kmail and other PIM apps and instyall aemail of your choice | 15:45 |
| yofel | ovidiu-florin_: it tries to stick to KDE software whenever possible, sadly kmail is not the most stable piece of software there | 15:45 |
| ovidiu-florin_ | I've tried kmail in the previous release, and I really like it, maybe more than thunderbird | 15:45 |
| ovidiu-florin_ | but it's very unstable | 15:45 |
| DarthFrog | Which is too bad. Kmail had a lot of potential. | 15:46 |
| BluesKaj | ovidiu-florin_, ithink it was an attempt by Canonical to increase penetration into the workplace /market | 15:46 |
| === moji_ is now known as moji | ||
| yofel | BluesKaj: you may exclusively blame KDE for the current Kontact suite | 15:46 |
| yofel | debian did the right thing sticking to the old one | 15:47 |
| BluesKaj | well to include it ..sorry , that was apoor choice of words | 15:47 |
| BluesKaj | kde is responsible | 15:47 |
| ovidiu-florin_ | ok, Ill go on the #kde channel | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | but it doen't work at all on my setup ...segfaults after abot 2 days of use ...as if it gets infected by a virus like windows | 15:48 |
| yofel | that didn't have anything to do with canonical either, just the kubuntu team | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | yofel, yes I'm aware of that , i just never liked Canonicals enterprise motives and suspect that kde4/kmail was convenient for them | 15:50 |
| yofel | well, if it had been better maybe they would've even used it. Sad that it's not | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | but I blame Canoonical for not pushing KDE for a better PIM suite that actually works | 15:52 |
| DarthFrog | I doubt Canonical would have much influence with the KDE boys. | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | too bad | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | who does KDE favour then when it comes to OSs | 15:53 |
| DarthFrog | Yes, I agree. Lacking a great mail client will hurt KDE in the long run. | 15:54 |
| DarthFrog | BluesKaj: I don't have the sense that KDE favours any one distro over any other. | 15:54 |
| yofel | it's not the default DE on any larger distro I know of either | 15:55 |
| DarthFrog | yofel: SuSE? | 15:55 |
| ovidiu-florin_ | I'm searching for an ideea of an application that I want to make and to know that people are using it, maybe this is it: an email client :D | 15:55 |
| yofel | hm... | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | DarthFrog, somew=how i doubt that ..everyone has favs , whether thy admit it or not ...I'd like see what OSs the KDE ppl use in their evreyday work | 15:55 |
| yofel | DarthFrog: they at least seem to have both gnome and kde on the default DVD | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | thunderbird is agood email , I recommend it highly ..easy to setup and use | 15:56 |
| DarthFrog | yofel: Which is a desirable thing, IMHO. | 15:57 |
| DarthFrog | BluesKaj: I like and use Tbird, too. | 15:57 |
| DarthFrog | Mainly because Kmail doesn't handle HTML mail properly. | 15:57 |
| yofel | depends on your target, if a user doesn't know what gnome or kde is then that's debatable | 15:57 |
| * yofel uses tbird too, because akonadi is too slow | 15:57 | |
| * DarthFrog doesn't see the point in akonadi/nepomuk. It just consumes resources and gets in the way. | 15:58 | |
| yofel | nepomuk is getting better and better, but akonadi just stays slow :/ | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | DarthFrog, exactly it's an unecessary burden for ordinary users | 15:59 |
| yofel | and mysql is even the best working backend -.- | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | nepomuk is useless to me | 15:59 |
| ovidiu-florin_ | what exactly is nepomuk and akonadi? | 16:00 |

| shadeslayer | DarthFrog: I was hoping around the new indexer code | 16:30 |
| shadeslayer | and it's pretty good | 16:30 |
| shadeslayer | it's really really fast right now, probably because the indexers don't do alot of things | 16:30 |

| shadeslayer | but I can't get the poster to resize properly right now | 16:34 |
| DarthFrog | shadeslayer: Looks nice. | 16:36 |
| DarthFrog | The one feature I'd like to see added (and it may already be there, IDK) is when I enter text into krunner, that it runs the program of that name instead of some web page, text document or picture. | 16:37 |
| shadeslayer | actually that would be a wieghting issue with krunner | 16:38 |
| shadeslayer | DarthFrog: can you give me a test case where I can reproduce this? | 16:39 |
| shadeslayer | because for eg. if I type quassel, the program always appears before any documents | 16:39 |
| DarthFrog | shadeslayer: Not right now off the top of my head. I will do so the next time I encounter the issue. | 16:39 |
| shadeslayer | DarthFrog: http://simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-w11147 | 16:40 |
| shadeslayer | DarthFrog: okay | 16:40 |
| shadeslayer | KRunner 'learns' as you use it | 16:40 |
| DarthFrog | I'm trying to recall the last time I encountered the issue. | 16:41 |
| shadeslayer | :) | 16:42 |
| shadeslayer | once you find a testcase and can reproduce it on 4.10, then we can poke people in #nepomuk-kde | 16:42 |

| DarthFrog | yofel: Thanks. | 16:48 |

| shojo | or any clue what might have given them that idea? They said it was listed in Windows under "program Files"? | 19:19 |
| yofel_ | that would be installing using Wubi | 19:20 |
| shojo | really? what does it do? | 19:20 |
| yofel_ | install kubuntu in Windows as a program. The system is stored in a file and added to the boot options | 19:22 |
| yofel_ | Rather slow and really only usable to try it out or when you have no other choice | 19:22 |
| yofel_ | you can remove it using add/remove program in windows if you want then | 19:23 |
| shojo | i see. thank you very much!!! you're amazing for knowing this! | 19:23 |

| BluesKaj | there is a misconception about ubuntu that it can only run in windows . Even my daughter asked me about that since some sales jerk at a bigbox store told her that was the case | 19:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | BluesKaj, most sales persons don't know jack. | 19:40 |
| BluesKaj | no kidding ... or they are deliberately misleading customers because windows is the only install that's allowed...most stores won't sell a raw pc or laptop | 19:42 |

| quesada_ | I like to have my taskbar vertical, but I also display the window title there | 19:54 |
| quesada_ | I use "current application" plasmoid to display window name in horizontal taskbar | 19:55 |
| quesada_ | this doesn't work when the taskbar is vertical | 19:55 |
| quesada_ | anyone knows a plasmoid that would do this? or a workaround? | 19:55 |
| quesada_ | any trick to see the window name (I have window bars off, using awesome) | 19:56 |

| ObsequiousNewt | Hello? | 22:29 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Is anyone here? | 22:30 |
| musca | yes, just ask. | 22:33 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Sorry | 22:39 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Um, I was trying to resize my root partition from a LiveCD. | 22:40 |
| ObsequiousNewt | I had tested this on a VM with the same conditions and it worked fine. | 22:40 |
| ObsequiousNewt | But when I actually tried it, the partitioner seemed to freeze up. | 22:41 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: Are you using KDE's partition manager? | 22:41 |
| ObsequiousNewt | And now I have the partition, which has been resized the way I want it, and it won't boot and in fact is labeled as having no file format. | 22:41 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Yeah, I was using the one installed by default on the live cd. | 22:42 |
| ObsequiousNewt | But it worked in the VM... | 22:42 |
| ObsequiousNewt | So, anyway, I ran boot-repair | 22:43 |
| ObsequiousNewt | And I got this: | 22:43 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: Hmm, well I had the kde one freeze on me too once. However Gparted (gnome's partition manager) works fine, ever since I have been using that one. | 22:43 |
| ObsequiousNewt | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529244 | 22:43 |
| ObsequiousNewt | So is it just a bug of the KDE PM? | 22:44 |
| ObsequiousNewt | More importantly, is my system in any way recoverable? | 22:44 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: What you need to do is some disk checking/repairing. What I can conclude from this message is that the boot sector with Grub is fine, however the first and second partition are in a state where the system doesn't know what it is. | 22:46 |
| ObsequiousNewt | That's what it looked like. | 22:46 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Wait, sda2/ | 22:46 |
| ObsequiousNewt | ? | 22:46 |
| ObsequiousNewt | I didn't do anything to that. Couldn't, either. | 22:46 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: Oh wait nvm, I'm not reading correctly... | 22:47 |
| Torch | i think it's safe to ignore sda2 and sda5 | 22:48 |
| Torch | sda1 | 22:48 |
| Torch | seems broken | 22:48 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: Do you happen to know what kind of filesystem it was? | 22:48 |
| Torch | not good | 22:48 |
| FloodBotK1 | Torch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:48 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: Ext4? | 22:48 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Yeah | 22:48 |
| ObsequiousNewt | I'm fairly sure | 22:48 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: http://justcheckingonall.wordpress.com/2010/07/18/howto-repair-broken-ext4-partitions/ | 22:49 |
| ObsequiousNewt | It was Kubuntu 12.10 64-bit | 22:49 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Thanks | 22:49 |
| ObsequiousNewt | I'll try that | 22:49 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: This is also a good one, actually better: http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/ | 22:49 |
| lordievader | ObsequiousNewt: Or at least I've used the second guide once with a succesfull result :), good luck. | 22:49 |
| Torch | i doubt fsck will help, it will just say it's not an ext filesystem | 22:50 |
| ObsequiousNewt | It might. | 22:50 |
| ObsequiousNewt | I'm going to try both of them, honestly. | 22:50 |
| Torch | there's gpart (don'T confuse with gparted) for recovery that i have not used myself and another one whose name i forget | 22:51 |
| Torch | ah, testdisk | 22:52 |
| Torch | there are a couple of "recovery live cds" where this can be found | 22:52 |
| Torch | though gpart might be the better tool for your case.... can't tell right now. | 22:54 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Huh | 22:54 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Okay, running fsck.ext4 gives me "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. | 22:55 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Despite that it's actually ext4. | 22:55 |
| Torch | now there was something in that second link about recovering the superblock from one of its backups | 22:55 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Well, I'm trying that, but they're all complaining of a bad magic number. | 23:02 |
| Torch | suggesting the backups are dead too | 23:03 |
| ObsequiousNewt | And the last five say "Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/sda1" | 23:04 |
| ObsequiousNewt | Odd, that. | 23:04 |
| ObsequiousNewt | I'm trying gpart. | 23:06 |
