[02:55] <loopz> hi people
[02:58] <loopz> can someone help me in sudo for ubuntu?
[05:51] <shivang> hey maulik
[05:51] <maulik> hello
[06:06] <maulik> at KDE meetup India with @shivang
[08:22] <vbgunz> does anyone here know how I can burn some files onto a usb live iso?
[08:22] <vbgunz> I want to put some files onto the disk I can have access to do during a session
[08:31] <tsimpson> vbgunz: you can partition the USB device and put files in a separate partition, or you could remaster the ISO and add files to it (which is more complex)
[08:32] <vbgunz> tsimpson: hey thanks, I swear I think the partition idea is smoother. This is for a Redo Backup. Pretty bad ass project, so badass I'm honestly thinking about donating something to them. Anyhow, I just want one stick with Redo Backup and the actual backup image on the stick. Not as easy but think I am going to go for the partition trick

[09:53] <hyper_ch> hi there, is htere no alternative version of rary for download?
[10:00] <tsimpson> hyper_ch: no, precise was the last release to supply an alternate CD
[10:00] <hyper_ch> tsimpson: how would I then encrypt during install?
[10:00] <tsimpson> hyper_ch: that's handled by the GUI installer now
[10:00] <hyper_ch> it seems I need to setup my computer anew as I accidentally wiped my partition scheme
[10:01] <hyper_ch> it can do it now?
[10:01] <tsimpson> yes, I believe that's why the alternate image was dropped
[10:01] <tsimpson> that and LVM begin supported (I think)
[10:02] <hyper_ch> :)
[10:02] <hyper_ch> have you got any idea how to recover partition layout?
[10:02] <hyper_ch> system's still up and running
[10:02] <hyper_ch> but won't survive reboot
[10:05] <tsimpson> I don't, but I heard gpart helps with that
[10:05] <tsimpson> I'm always _really_ sure when I write the partition table ;)
[10:05]  * tsimpson finds something wooden to knock on
[10:08] <Torch> hyper_ch: testdisk or gpart (NOT to be confused with gparted) will restore partition tables.
[10:08] <hyper_ch> tsimpson: can the live cd also setup an encrypted system?
[10:08] <hyper_ch> Torch: gpart didn't find anything :(
[10:09] <hyper_ch> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557641/
[10:09] <tsimpson> hyper_ch: yes, though I haven't done a live install in a while (just upgrades) so I haven't tried it personally
[10:09] <FlameReaper> Torch: can testdisk or gpart restore partition tables on a disk image?
[10:10] <Torch> FlameReaper: i'd assume yes, but i have no idea honestly
[10:10] <FlameReaper> because I have a partition backed up
[10:11] <FlameReaper> and keeping it in case I can recover the partition table
[10:11] <FlameReaper> apparently files seem to be intact but the partition table is damaged
[10:11] <Torch> FlameReaper: partition backed up? you mean you have an image of the file system? then you wouldn't need the original partition table to restore it, right?
[10:12] <FlameReaper> i don't know about that
[10:12] <FlameReaper> it's just that I can't access it
[10:12] <FlameReaper> diagnostics seem to indicate files are fine
[10:13] <FlameReaper> but photorec doesn't seem reliable enough for me
[10:24] <hyper_ch> tsimpson: the encryption selection gives an error
[10:33] <tsimpson> hyper_ch: hmm, I haven't use it so I don't think I know how to help with it
[10:33] <hyper_ch> well, setting up manually the encrypted system doesn't work
[10:48] <hyper_ch> tsimpson: do you know if rary has LO 4?
[10:49] <tsimpson> hyper_ch: no idea, sorry
[10:50] <hyper_ch> tsimpson: it has :) and why do I keep calling it rary instead of raring
[10:51] <tsimpson> I think it sounds better that raring :)
[10:51] <hyper_ch> yeah, same here
[10:51] <tsimpson> rary ringtail
[11:31] <jayzeegp> hello everyone
[12:01] <kbana> hello
[12:28] <tomte> hi there!
[12:29] <tomte> I tried installing kubuntu 11.10 on my old laptop but the installer crashes at the hardware configuration
[12:30] <tomte> unfortunatly there is no error message in the nice popup window, so I don't know what's going on
[12:30] <MsCourtney> tomte: Can you try with a newer version like 12.10?
[12:30] <tomte> is there any way to see the error message another way?
[12:31] <tomte> MsCourtney: no, since those kernels don't support non-pae cpus
[12:32] <MsCourtney> tomte: What about lubuntu then install Kubuntu-desktop or the ubuntu mini iso?
[12:33] <tomte> the latest version have the same non-pae problem, I tried the mini iso as well
[12:35] <tomte> it would help a great deal if I could see what is going on, can I follow the process on a console?
[12:36] <yofel> tomte: what happened to trying 12.04?
[12:37] <tomte> yofel: the 12.04 kernel doesn't support my cpu since it doesn't have pae support
[12:37] <yofel> 11.10 will reach end  of life in about 2 months, so maybe not the best choice
[12:38] <tomte> yofel: I'm not scared about end of life, as long as I can install I can take care of updates later on
[12:43] <yofel> tomte: there is a non-pae version of the precise kernel
[12:43] <yofel> did the 12.04 image not boot at all?
[12:43] <tomte> yofel: no it didn't
[12:44] <tomte> and I couldn't find an option to use another kernel
[12:45] <yofel> which image was that? 12.04.2?
[12:46] <yofel> tomte: then again, installing 11.10 and upgrading that would indeed be another option
[12:47] <yofel> 12.04 shouldn't be failing though...
[12:47] <tomte> it does and it was the one from the kubuntu page, so 12.04.2
[13:01] <ovidiu-florin> hello world :D
[13:02] <ovidiu-florin> I'm trying a kubuntu 12.10 installation from a USB drive made with unetbootin, but the installer crashes all the time
[13:31] <yofel> ovidiu-florin: try starting it from a live session. The logs would be in /var/log/installer/
[13:40] <aspirantux> Is there someone inhere?
[14:07] <_JuJuBee> I can't get my dhcp server (isc-dhcp-server) to start. syslog shows.. http://pastebin.com/HgpuSfmp I have set eth1 in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server as the listen interface and have a subnet in my dhcpd.conf file similar to a different server config that IS working.
[14:12] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: looks like you are trying to serve a network that is outside the range of your eth1 interface address
[14:18] <_JuJuBee> ikonia:  my eth1 is 192.168.6.1/24 and dhcpd.conf subnet is http://pastebin.com/cpYkBReA
[14:18] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[14:20] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: how did you tell it to listen on eth1 ?
[14:20] <_JuJuBee> ikonia: /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server has a line INTERFACES=eth1
[14:23] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: very odd,
[14:23] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: what is the default parameter for the INTERFACES= option
[14:24] <_JuJuBee> ikonia: ""
[14:24] <_JuJuBee> empty
[14:24] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: reset it to that for a test, as that is "all  interfaces"
[14:24] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: then restart dhcp
[14:24] <_JuJuBee> I tried
[14:24] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: same error ?
[14:25] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: where is your dhcpd config located ?
[14:25] <_JuJuBee> ikonia: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
[14:26] <ikonia> _JuJuBee: is that the right place ?
[14:27] <_JuJuBee> It is where it is located on my other server
[14:29] <_JuJuBee> ikonia: in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server I have DHCPD_CONF=/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
[14:29] <ikonia> so that should be sane
[14:29] <_JuJuBee> However, I copied config to /etc/dhcp/ and now it starts... strange
[14:29] <ikonia> interesting
[14:40] <_JuJuBee> ikonia: everything working now.  Sorry for the cross post... :(
[14:40] <ikonia> no problem
[15:01] <the_raven> just did an upgrade to KDE 4.10 on Kubuntu 12.04 x64 and lightdm was added? so now x doesnt seem know what display manager to use and it only opens shell and i have to type startx everytime, so is there a way to disable lightdm?
[15:01] <the_raven> doesnt seem to work to run 2 display managers at the same time...
[15:03] <the_raven> so does it work to use the old display manager on KDE 4.10 to make the loginscreen work again?
[15:05] <BluesKaj> the_raven, lightdm is the default DM now , try removing KDM to see if that helps . Also ,reinstalling lightdm might also work .
[15:06] <the_raven> but i use a custom theme on kdm from kde-look.org does it work with lightdm?
[15:07] <the_raven> but yeah i can try to remove kdm...
[15:08] <BluesKaj> you have to reset your theme for lightdm  , the_raven
[15:12] <the_raven> ok. but while running apt-get purge kdm the terminal said: Following packages will be removed: kdm* kubuntu-desktop* ?
[15:16] <the_raven> it seems to drag kubuntu-desktop with it when remove kdm...
[15:50] <hyper_ch> tsimpson: system restored (most of it).... running now 13.04
[16:05] <hyper_ch> hi there, in dolphin you have the places panel - where are the files stored for it? I jsut re-setup my computer and copied the .kde folder back but the places in dolphin weren't restored
[16:54] <BluesKaj>  hyper_ch the places are links to drives and folders etc , just right click on the folder and choose "add to places"
[16:55] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: no, where is the config located
[16:55] <BluesKaj> dunno , never bothered to look for it
[16:56] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: I copied all of .kde back and the places list is empty
[16:56] <hyper_ch> well, empty as in default entries and no custom ones that I made
[17:01] <Ginder87> hy all
[17:02] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, the only conf file i can locate in ~/.kde is , ~/.kde/share/config/ , but i don't see any reference to places there
[17:17] <robzye> hey guys im having some problems installing catalyst (amd) on ubuntu 12.10. running a 5xxx card with a i5 (intel). i've checked the web but everytime i find an answer there is always a little step that goes wrong which they don't explain :/
[17:18] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: I just have to search then for the file in the whole home folder
[17:22] <BluesKaj> yeah , then just chosse add to places, or you could right click in the places area and choose add entry and type in the path to the folder
[17:24] <BluesKaj> or look here , hyper_ch  http://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin/File_Management#Places
[17:24] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: I need to know where Dolphin saves the config file that contains all the custom places that I added before
[17:24] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: so that I don't have to re-add them again
[17:26] <BluesKaj> yes hyper_ch I know that but i haven't found a reference to a confifg filke with settings for dolphinb places
[17:41] <Guest90002> hello
[17:43]  * genii-around makes more coffee
[17:43]  * L3top steals genii-around grounds
[17:47] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: I found the file
[17:47] <hyper_ch> but I wonder why it wasn't applied
[17:47] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, what's the file path
[17:47] <BluesKaj> ?
[17:47] <hyper_ch> .kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml
[17:48] <hyper_ch> when I copied the .kde folder back - including this file - I wasn't logged in in kde.... all works but that one
[17:51] <BluesKaj> dunno how xml bookmarks link to dolphin places
[17:53] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: well, it's the file for the dolphin places since it has entries that I only used in there.... still weird.... thx anyway
[17:55] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, open dolphin and put that file in the path in "add entries"
[18:25] <mandoguit> dolphin > find > more options     totally greyed out and doesn't seem to be any way, afaics, to toggle any of the options on.   anyone confirm this at their end?  Kernel: 3.8.0-7-generic x86_64 (64 bit)
[18:25] <mandoguit>            Desktop: KDE 4.10.00 Distro: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)    tnks. :)
[18:26] <genii-around> mandoguit: #ubuntu+1 for Raring
[18:27] <mandoguit> oops  yes thanks :)
[20:01] <laffytaffy> Hi all im new to Kubuntu :)
[20:15] <pjdamws> how do you like it so far laffytaffy
[20:19] <johnflux> I have my laptop plugged in and when I try to decrease the screen brightness, it decreases for a moment than increases back to full brightness
[20:19] <johnflux> any ideas why?
[20:21] <away> johnflux, you went into battery monitor settings -> energy savings and adjusted the brightness properly?
[20:39] <johnflux> away: yes
[20:40] <johnflux> away: using the battery applet in the systray
[20:41] <johnflux> away: it dims for about 10 seconds, then increases in brightness again - most strange!
[21:00] <Walex> johnflux: there are zillions of little power management applets and scripts that manage power levels for you...
[21:00] <Walex> johnflux: whether you like it or not.
[22:10] <tomas__> hi
[22:24] <mr-rich> How do I completely disable the idle lock screen so I don't have to enter a password? 12.04.2
[22:31] <AbhiK> mr-rich: System Settings>Display 'n Monitor>Screen Locker
[22:34] <mr-rich> AbhiK: I have "Require password after:" unchecked ... always have ... still need to put in a password ... frustrating ...
[22:35] <AbhiK> actually u hv to uncheck "start automatically"
[22:35] <AbhiK> it's like the master setting
[22:35] <AbhiK> for "require passwd"
[22:35] <AbhiK> or u can even increase time
[22:36] <AbhiK> watever suits u
[22:37] <mr-rich> AbhiK: I want my wife to be able to use this box when she needs ... I still want to have the Screen Saver kick in, though ...
[22:37] <mr-rich> AbhiK: but not the screen locker w/password ...
[22:38] <mr-rich> AbhiK: just a blank screen ... save wear & tear on the monitor ...
[22:38] <AbhiK> yyeaa
[22:39] <AbhiK> u can change simple locker
[22:39] <AbhiK> to screen saver
[22:39] <mr-rich> I have that selected ... always have ... didn't require a password until the last couple of updates ...
[22:40] <AbhiK> Ohhkay!
[22:40] <AbhiK> i hv so less idea on updates
[22:41] <AbhiK> what's ur version anyways
[22:41] <AbhiK> ?
[22:41] <mr-rich> AbhiK: should be that if I uncheck "Require password", it shouldn't require a password ...
[22:41] <mr-rich> 12.04.2
[22:42] <AbhiK> ummm
[22:42] <AbhiK> actually simple locker is the thing
[22:42] <AbhiK> which locks the screen
[22:43] <mr-rich> I don't want to lock the screen with a password ... just have a screen saver kick in ... move the mouse and you're in ...
[22:43] <AbhiK> errm
[22:43] <AbhiK> in screen saver mode
[22:43] <AbhiK> u would have to prrn to home-screeness a key to retu
[22:44] <AbhiK> press*
[22:44] <mr-rich> That's fine ... press a key ... no password ...
[22:44] <AbhiK> u would have to press a key to return to home-screen
[22:44] <AbhiK> yeaa
[22:45] <mr-rich> do I leave "Start automatically" unchecked?
[22:45] <AbhiK> not exactly
[22:45] <AbhiK> i had it checked
[22:45] <AbhiK> and selected screen saver
[22:46] <mr-rich> That's what I have ... always have ...
[22:46] <AbhiK> ahh, if it's unchecked, ur screen saver won't load
[22:46] <AbhiK> ummm
[22:46] <mr-rich> it's only since the last 2 updates that it's requiring  a pasword ...
[22:47] <mr-rich> even though I have "require password" unchecked ...
[22:48] <AbhiK> i suggest u to wait for some other persoon's reply!
