[03:00] <murthy> hello everyone
[04:01] <gschanuel> hi folks :)
[04:02] <gschanuel> guys.. my touchpad is too sensible... sometimes i'm typing and even if I do not touch it, mouse "clicks" somewhere else
[04:02] <gschanuel> how can I easily configure it?
[04:09] <pjdamws> gschanuel: there should be a touchpad program that you can search for, if it isn't installed then do a sudo apt-get install synaptiks
[04:15] <gschanuel> pjdamws, ok..  i found that kde-config-touchpad is installed (which provides synaptiks) but there is no way to configure "pressure detection" in there...
[04:15] <gschanuel> also, it says my touchpad can detect 3 fingers, but it's not true.. it only detects one
[04:20] <pjdamws> when you're in the configuration window on the left side you should see "Touchpad Management" and "Touchpad configuration". Under the management there should be a checkbox that says "automatically switch off touchpad on keyboard activity".
[05:54] <xavier_> hello
[05:54] <xavier_> how are you doing
[07:48] <Queon> Question; I tried using one of the nVidia closed-source drivers available through the additional drivers utility, completely borked my display down to a limit of 600x400; managed to get back to the Nouveau driver that comes prepackaged, but I'm still missing 3D acceleration support.
[07:48] <Queon> How would I go about fixing this?
[08:16] <_XeN_> hi everybody
[08:16] <n8w> .
[10:01] <esing> Hi
[10:03] <esing> I installed kubuntu and then updated it using : sudo apt-get upgrade which installed among others a newer linux kernel .. Now since then my system language is no more in german though the kde german language packages are installed. Also my krunner is working properly, it is namely not showing the searching results
[10:20] <Mamarok> esing: so what exactly is your question?
[10:20] <Mamarok> esing: the language is set in the systemsettings -> Locale, BTW
[10:21] <esing> Mamarok, Yes, I selected german as prefered language, but it kubuntu sticks still to english
[10:21] <Mamarok> good if your krunner is working properly :) or did you mean "is not working properly"?
[10:22] <Mamarok> esing: changing the language only applies to newly started applications, if you want the desktop to be in German you just log out of KDE and back in again
[10:22] <esing> krunner worked properly, I must have resized it wrongly so I could not see its search results
[10:23] <esing> Mamarok, Hmm, after settings the perfered language to german I rebooted
[10:23] <Mamarok> well, keeping it on top is a good idea so it shows the results
[10:23] <Mamarok> esing: not rebooting, just restarting KDE is enough
[10:23] <Mamarok> and you didn't tell which KDE/Kubuntu versions
[10:24] <esing> kubuntu 12.10, should be kde 4.10
[10:24] <Mamarok> should or is?
[10:24] <Mamarok> 12.10 default ships KDE 4.9.x
[10:24] <esing> KDE: 4.9.4
[10:25] <Mamarok> you need to enable the backports PPA for 4.10
[10:25] <Mamarok> see http://kubuntu.org/news/
[10:28] <esing> Mamarok,  Adding: ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to /etc/apt/sources.list and then use apt-get update gives out this error: ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports  unknown
[10:29] <Mamarok> what server are you on? Might just be the mirror be a problem. And how did you add it?
[10:30] <Mamarok> works fine here on the main server
[10:30] <Mamarok> sudo apt-add-repository is the command to add it, BTW, do not manually add it to your sources list
[10:31] <esing> Oh, so I can use apt-add or add-apt
[10:33] <Mamarok> it is apt-add-repository, not the other way round
[10:33] <Mamarok> the order is important, I doubt add-apt will do anything
[10:33] <esing> Mamarok, It worked using add-apt
[10:34] <esing> In the news they wrote add-apt http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.10
[10:34] <Mamarok> erm, that is wrong, I will tell them
[10:35] <Mamarok> add-apt does exactly nothing, command not found here
[10:35] <esing> Hm, on my system it worked, weird
[10:36] <Mamarok> well, apparently it didn't since you had the error above :)
[10:37] <esing> The error above was happening when I added the backports manually to sources.list
[10:38] <Mamarok> OK
[10:39] <esing> I upgraded to kde 4.10, I will  check if I can set it to german now
[10:39] <Mamarok> there is actually a redirect for both commands
[10:40] <esing> Ah good to know, thanks
[10:40] <Mamarok> actually: a redirect so add-apt-repository also works, but the command normally starts with apt-
[10:43] <esing> Though I changed the system/prefered language to german it still is in english
[10:45] <esing> I updated yesterday to the kernel: Linux phil 3.5.0-25-generic #39-Ubuntu
[10:52] <goekhan> hello, i had some windows open, pressed CTRL+ALT+F1, logged in, startx, and now i got a new session but my old windows are gone.
[10:53] <goekhan> i see the old processes in the system monitor
[10:53] <goekhan> but i cannot see them
[10:53] <goekhan> i tried activities, and virtual desktops...but no
[10:54] <esing> Mamarok, The de is in german now, but the keyboard still in english
[10:57] <esing> Mamarok, It works now, I had to use the settings in devices/keyboard/set keyboard layout
[10:57] <esing> thanks
[11:18] <Mamarok> esing: you are welcome :)

[13:48] <murthy> hello everyone
[13:49] <lordievader> Good afternoon
[13:57] <Rish> ya sorry something went wrong with my keyboard
[13:57] <Rish> i am running kubuntu on virtual box ...i want to increase HD space...how should i increase it?
[14:01] <lordievader> Back :)
[14:06] <BluesKaj> Rish,  https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=41118
[14:26] <Rish> BluesKaj: well i have already increased the size of my HDD but that size is not visible..they are tellin to use partition manager..can you guide me with that?
[14:28] <BluesKaj> Rish, best to ask in #vbox
[14:32] <lordievader> Rish: Have you increased the partition after you've enlarged the drive?
[14:34] <Rish> well how should i do that?
[14:35] <lordievader> Rish: Depends on the guest, what guest were you running? Just moved hosts, so I have no backlog anymore.
[14:37] <Rish> sorry whats guest?
[14:37] <Rish> i mean i am running kubuntu on mac
[14:37] <lordievader> Rish: Through a virtual machine right? Or am I confusing you with someone else?
[14:38] <Rish> no i am on kubuntu through virtual machine
[14:39] <lordievader> Rish: Ok, so the host is your Mac and the client in this case is Kubuntu. Open the kde partition manager and see if it recognizes the bigger drive.
[14:48] <Rish> lordievader: wait  a sec..thers something wrong with my comp
[15:04] <Rish_> _larva: yes it does
[15:04] <Rish_> sorry
[15:04] <Rish_> lordievader: yees it does
[15:10] <lordievader> Rish: Ok, great. I have a feeling that there is empty space on the drive, the space you added.
[15:10] <Rish> lordievader: so how should i use it
[15:10] <Rish> ?
[15:17] <lordievader> Rish: Where are you now?
[15:18] <asraniel> hi, my gf lost sound over the headphones over night and i have to debug it remotely, any ideas? what could cause this? (i already checked the most obvious things) sound over the speakers works, its not muted
[15:19] <Rish> i am now mac
[15:23] <Rish> lordievader: well i alloted the new space but its inaccessible
[15:24] <lordievader> Rish: Could you show me a screenshot?
[15:24] <lordievader> !paste | Rish
[15:25] <Rish> lordievader: well i can u come over team viewer?
[15:26] <lordievader> Rish: Nope, I cannot ;) Just make a screenshot a upload it to imagebin.
[15:29] <Rish> http://imagebin.org/249058
[15:30] <Rish> http://imagebin.org/249059
[15:30] <lordievader> Rish: Hmm, why do you have 3 diffent drives?
[15:30] <lordievader> Rish: Anyhow, on the /dev/sdc you want to merge sdc3 with sdc2?
[15:31] <Rish> http://imagebin.org/249060
[15:31] <Rish> ya i will like that
[15:31] <lordievader> Rish: Sdc2 isn't swap?
[15:32] <Rish> no
[15:33] <lordievader> Rish: There is no data on sdc3? Because then it is easy. Delete sdc3 and resize sdc2. <-- Make a backup first!
[15:34] <Rish> no there is no data...wait a sec u will like to see few more screen shots
[15:34] <Rish> http://imagebin.org/249061
[15:35] <Rish> http://imagebin.org/249061
[15:35] <lordievader> Rish: Lets make it easy, pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[15:39] <Rish> lordievader: https://pastebin.com/0p5ZZcKr
[15:41] <lordievader> Rish: Hmm ok, on the sda drive there is probably a linux install. sdb doesn't have a partition table. And I think sdc also contains a linux install. Am I right?
[15:42] <Rish> yup
[15:44] <lordievader> Rish: Ok, and you want to merge sdc3 with sdc1 (sdc2 is just an extended partition thingie, can't explain that very well...)
[15:44] <Rish> anything will work for me..i just need extra space
[15:44] <Rish> the other HD is of around 39 GB
[15:44] <Rish> i want to use that space
[15:46] <lordievader> Rish: Oh you just want to mount sdb?
[15:47] <Rish> well...i want only one OS...thats kubuntu...so its ok if i  remove linux from that 39 gb HD....but i want to use that space because i want more space
[15:49] <lordievader> Rish: Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, what you want is to use Kubuntu which is on /dev/sda, and you want to use /dev/sdc as a data partition? If so (and there is not valuable data on /dev/sdcX), simply delete all those partitions make a new partition on /dev/sdc, and put that in the /etc/fstab file.
[15:50] <Rish> ya cool i want to do exactly as u told but...can u explain how should i do all these things
[15:51] <Rish> cause i m a bit new to this
[15:53] <lordievader> Rish: Have you backup important data? Even if it is not on the drive you edit, it can still be harmed.
[15:54] <Rish> ya its ok,...no important data
[15:55] <lordievader> Rish: Ok, in the kde partition editor delete all the partitions on /dev/sdc (<-- this is not the drive with your wanted install, is it?)
[15:56] <Rish> noits empty..
[15:57] <Rish> well there is no delete option
[15:57] <Rish> i mean when i click sdc and go for delete the delete option is unavailable
[15:57] <lordievader> Rish: Is it mounted?
[15:58] <RamchandraApte> I don't see a desktop session entry for Kubuntu Active in lightdm.
[15:58] <Rish> lordievader: it gives me an option to unmount
[16:02] <Rish_> lordievader: i am sorry i quit by mistake...
[16:02] <Rish_> please continue
[16:04] <lordievader> Rish_: You now have an empty /dev/sdc?
[16:06] <Rish_> but how to delete...i am not gettin any delte option
[16:07] <lordievader> Rish_: You need to unmount them first.
[16:07] <Rish_> and i didnt get any of ur msg after the one in which u asked is it mounted...so if u gave any solution aftr tht thn plz send it again
[16:09] <Rish_> ok i did unmount
[16:09] <Rish_> now?
[16:11] <Rish_> i unmounted it now should i delete it?
[16:17] <lordievader> Rish_: Indeed ;)
[16:18] <Rish_> done
[16:19] <Rish_> i have deleted sdc
[16:19] <lordievader> Rish_: Now you make a new partition, will the partition only mounted under Linux?
[16:21] <Rish_> means?
[16:23] <lordievader> Rish_: Hmm, nevermind it is probably a virtual drive anyhow. When you make the partition choose for ext4 or ext3.
[16:24] <Rish_> free space before and after/?
[16:24] <Rish_> ??
[16:24] <lordievader> Rish_: Should be zero, to span the full drive.
[16:25] <Rish_> done
[16:26] <Rish_> now apply?/
[16:26] <lordievader> Rish_: Did you hit apply after the deleting?
[16:26] <lordievader> Rish_: It doesn't really matter, but it is one of my preferences...
[16:27] <ovidiu-florin> hello world :D
[16:27] <Rish_> no i didnt apply after deleting
[16:28] <Rish_> so what shouls i do now...hit apply or not
[16:28] <lordievader> Rish_: Eh, doesn't matter. Hit apply!
[16:29] <Rish_> done...now?
[16:30] <Rish_> i named it new...when i open it in dolphin then i get this error msg  "could not enter
[16:30] <lordievader> Rish_: Allmost, if you want to automatically mount it on boot you need to add it to the fstab.
[16:32] <Rish_> but y am i mounting it
[16:32] <Rish_> i mean i dont want to use linux from that HD...just want to use the space
[16:32] <lordievader> Rish_: Mount it through the terminal ;) To do so open a terminal.
[16:36] <Rish_> thn?
[16:37] <lordievader> Rish_: I'm assuming here it is /dev/sdc1: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt <-- this mounts /dev/sdc1 to the directory /mnt
[16:42] <Rish_> command not found
[16:42] <Rish_> ??
[16:43] <lordievader> Rish_: You are copying it exactly as I type it?
[16:44] <lordievader> "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt" <- without ""
[16:45] <Rish_> i think its done
[16:45] <Rish_> but there was no process shown
[16:46] <lordievader> Rish_: Correct, mount has no output (unless there is an error). ls -la /mnt should give a lost+found folder.
[16:46] <lordievader> Rish_: And it should also be at the end of the list if you issue "mount"
[16:47] <Rish_> ya ohk i got that output
[16:49] <lordievader> Rish_: Ok, can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" (at least I think that was the command)
[16:51] <gdg_> http://pastebin.com/EifCd0ra
[16:51] <Rish_> see the file of gdg
[16:52] <lordievader> Rish_: Hmm, the uuid's aren't updated. Could you reboot and give me the output again?
[16:53] <Rish_> k
[16:53] <lordievader> Rish_: You haven't deleted sda right?
[16:54] <Rish_> no
[16:55] <Rish_> defintly not
[16:55] <Rish_> cause that will cause a big problem
[16:55] <lordievader> Rish_: That is why :P strange though that only sdc is mentioned, or did you only copy sdc?
[16:56] <gdg> http://pastebin.com/UJvTRQ1E
[16:57] <Rish_> sorry didnt get u...what does "did you only copy sdc" mean?
[16:57] <Rish_> use the gdg link
[16:58] <lordievader> Rish_: Ah that looks better.
[16:59] <lordievader> Rish_: Hmm, maybe we should first make a mount dir, where do you want it mounted?
[16:59] <Rish_> anywhere..wont mind
[17:00] <lordievader> Rish_: Ok... "sudo mkdir /media/sdc
[17:01] <lordievader> Rish_: And then "sudo chown <user-name> /media/sdc" replace <user-name> with your user name.
[17:01] <Rish_> user name of kubuntu?
[17:02] <lordievader> Rish_: The username you use to login.
[17:02] <lordievader> Rish_: You made a ext4 partition right?
[17:03] <Rish_> ext3
[17:03] <Rish_> u told any 1
[17:03] <Rish_> i can still change
[17:04] <lordievader> Rish_: Ext3 is fine too, ext4 is supposed to be a bit faster... Anyhow add the following line to your /etc/fstab file:
[17:04] <lordievader> UUID=87c6e106-aa9f-4cb6-8036-feeeef722037       /media/sdc1            ext3    errors=remount-ro,user_xattr    0       1
[17:04] <Rish_> wait...first should i run the previous command
[17:05] <Rish_> i mean that sudo chown...
[17:10] <Rish_> should i write that first...or should i join both of them and then write?
[17:10] <lordievader> Rish_: Join both of them?
[17:11] <Rish_> should i write them seperatly...
[17:12] <Rish_> first the previous one and thn the new one
[17:12] <Rish_> ?
[17:13] <lordievader> You mean the mkdir one and the chown? Yes, two different commands. Should be two lines.
[17:13] <avihay> I've finally managed to make ktp  build with kdesrc-build, woho!
[17:15] <Rish_> where should i do this.........Rish_: Ext3 is fine too, ext4 is supposed to be a bit faster... Anyhow add the following line to your /etc/fstab file:
[17:15] <Rish_> UUID=87c6e106-aa9f-4cb6-8036-feeeef722037       /media/sdc1            ext3    errors=remount-ro,user_xattr    0       1
[17:15] <avihay> now if I knew how to do it without having to prefix kdesrc-build with sudo...
[17:18] <lordievader> Rish_: You did the other things? Open the fstab in kate or something: "kdesudo kate /etc/fstab" and add that line to the bottom.
[17:20] <Rish_> i didnt do anythin related to fstab...if possible pease tell in sequence what should i do
[17:21] <lordievader> Rish_: With other things I mean the mkdir and chown.
[17:21] <Rish_> ya i did that
[17:21] <Rish_> last thing i did is chown
[17:21] <Rish_> now whats next thing?
[17:24] <lordievader> Rish_: You open kate, from a terminal the command would be: kdesudo kate /etc/fstab
[17:26] <Rish_> done
[17:26] <lordievader> Rish_: Then at the bottom insert the following line:
[17:26] <lordievader> UUID=87c6e106-aa9f-4cb6-8036-feeeef722037       /media/sdc1            ext3    errors=remount-ro,user_xattr    0       1
[17:28] <Rish_> donre
[17:29] <lordievader> Rish_: Save and reboot to verify if it automatically mounts.
[17:33] <Rish_> done
[17:33] <lordievader> Rish_: And is it mounted?
[17:34] <Rish_> how should i check that?
[17:35] <lordievader> Rish_: Check if "/dev/sdc1" is in the output of "mount".
[17:37] <gdg> http://pastebin.com/cRs13WKP
[17:37] <Rish_> check the link of gdg
[17:37] <lordievader> Rish_: Jup it is mounted, congratz!
[17:38] <Rish_> now
[17:38] <Rish_> ?
[17:38] <lordievader> Rish_: Now, I think you are done... Or am I missing something?
[17:41] <Rish_> http://imagebin.org/249077
[17:42] <Rish_> well i cant use that HD even now
[17:42] <Rish_> i mean the space...i cant make a new folder nor paste anything
[17:45] <lordievader> Rish_: You are entering lost+found, this should remain a root folder, can you make a folder in /media/sdc?
[17:46] <lordievader> Gonna grab a bite to eat, will be back in 30~60 min.
[17:47] <Rish_> wait...in New i dont have any media folder

[18:29] <DarthFrog> Guest44072:  What's your question about GRUB?
[18:31] <Guest44072> I am trying  to boot Fedora ISO.
[18:34] <OerHeks> Guest44072, now we really get excited, why do you want to boot Fedora?
[18:35] <goodtime> heh i just installed 12.10
[18:35] <goodtime> nice :)
[18:37] <Guest44072> ISO of Fedora 64 bit DVD. I want to boot this ISO using GRUB2
[18:39] <DarthFrog> Guest44072:  Perhaps the help you need with Fedora is found on a Fedora support channel?
[18:39] <lordievader> Good evening
[18:40] <DarthFrog> Guest44072:  But what happens when you boot off the burned DVD of that ISO?
[18:40] <OerHeks> Guest22253, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examples should do that trick
[18:40] <OerHeks> err Guest44072 ^ ^
[18:41] <BluesKaj> Guest44072, in order to boot the dvd make sure your BIOS boot sequence has the cdrom drive first in the list
[18:41] <DarthFrog> OerHeks:  Kewl!  I didn't know GRUB could do that. :-)
[18:41] <BluesKaj> grub can't boot i
[18:41] <BluesKaj> it
[18:41] <DarthFrog> Live and learn.
[18:44] <Guest44072> I can't boot the burned dvd. cuz the screen gets struck at boot time. I think its EFI problem.
[18:50] <OerHeks> Guest22253, i suggest you /join #fedora for those troubles, if the grubguide does not work for you.
[20:15] <Queon> Question; I tried using one of the nVidia closed-source drivers available through the additional drivers utility, completely borked my display down to a limit of 600x400; managed to get back to the Nouveau driver that comes prepackaged, but I'm still missing 3D acceleration support. (I'm using dual monitors of different overall resolutions, but the both of them were limited down and cloned.)
[20:15] <Queon> How would I go about fixing this?
[20:52] <BluesKaj> Queon, i have to ask , are desktop effects in system settings enabled with any options ?
[20:57] <Queon> A couple of them, but disabling them doesn't fix the issue.
[20:57] <Queon> 3D acceleration is completely /gone/.
[21:00] <Queon> Unless it changed location or something, I can't use it; MineCraft crashes on startup with an error involving something along the lines of "OpenGL missing". VirtualBox can't access 3D acceleration for better rendering games in guest OS's.
[21:01] <lordievader> Queon: Are you running Kubuntu inside VirtualBox? Isn't 3d accel still experimental in VirtualBox?
[21:02] <Queon> Kubuntu is my host OS.
[21:02] <Queon> And 3D acceleration for my guests worked just fine before trying that nVidia driver.
[21:02] <lordievader> Queon: Ok, haven't said a thing.
[21:03] <lordievader> THe addictions are installed on the guest?
[21:04] <Queon> Even in new VMs, the problem still persists.
[21:05] <lordievader> New VM's don't have the guest additions automatically installed.
[21:06] <Queon> When I got into the infocenter utility, under Graphical Information, clicking on OpenGL gives me an error message as follows "Could not initialize OpenGL".
[21:06] <lordievader> Queon: Have you installed the 'Gues Additions'?
[21:07] <Queon> Yes, still not working with 3D acceleration.
[21:07] <BluesKaj> Queon, which nvidia card and which driver ?
[21:07] <lordievader> Queon: Does the hardware acceleration work in Kubuntu?
[21:07] <Queon> 3D acceleration doesn't work on my host, either.
[21:08] <Queon> I have the nVidia GTX 555M with 3GB RAM, I tried the 310 driver because it was the only listed choice in the additional drivers page.
[21:08] <Queon> And now I'm short 3D accelleration.
[21:09] <BluesKaj> to make sure  , glxinfo | grep OpenGL , pastebin the output, Queon
[21:11] <Queon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588773/
[21:14] <BluesKaj> Queon, your nvidia driver doesn't appear to b einstalled , have you rebooted since insalling ?
[21:14] <Queon> The nVidia driver borked my display.
[21:14] <Queon> I switched back to Nouveau.
[21:15] <Queon> A few reboots and a lot of documentation later, everything but 3D acceleration works properly.
[21:15] <BluesKaj> well the the gxlinfo command should show that Nouveau is installed , unless you don't have mesa-utils installed
[21:15] <Queon> I just installed it to get that bit of paste.
[21:17] <BluesKaj> Queon, then there's something else seriously wrong , is the graphics card a PCI(e) ?
[21:18] <Queon> It's a packaged up laptop, AlienWare M14X, I'm not sure what its innards look like because it's still under warranty.
[21:20] <BluesKaj> it wouldn't have dual gpus by any chance ? like the optimus system on some laptops to save battery power
[21:21] <Queon> Let me look up the specs for my card.
[21:21] <Queon> The thing is, it worked properly before I tried the nVidia driver.
[21:23] <Queon> http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-555m Here's the page for my GPU.
[21:27] <dmatt> Queon: don't you by any chance use xorg.conf  which was created by nvidia driver?
[21:27] <Queon> No.
[21:27] <Queon> I'm not using the nVidia driver any more.
[21:31] <BluesKaj> we usually don't suggest this , but did you try the nvidia proprietary driver from the nvidia site ?
[21:31] <BluesKaj> Queon,^
[21:31] <Queon> That's what caused the problem in the first place.
[21:32] <Queon> The nVidia driver screwed my whole display system up.
[21:33] <dmatt> Queon: did you modify xorg.conf yourself then? because it is not automatically deleted, when you uninstall drivers
[21:33] <BluesKaj> ahh , so the additional drivers in kubuntu weren't tried then?
[21:34] <Queon> dmatt: Yes, I got rid of the nVidia-made xorg.conf file.
[21:34] <BluesKaj> dmatt, it isn't automatically created , unless you manually run nvidia-xconfig
[21:34] <Queon> I tried running that utility to try to make my GPU work better with the proprietary driver.
[21:35] <dmatt> Queon: did you run uninstall and purge to all files of priprietary driver?
[21:35] <BluesKaj> Queon, did you try the additional drivers in , kmenu >apps> system ?
[21:36] <BluesKaj> there should be more than one
[21:36] <Queon> I haven't tried any of the other proprietary drivers.
[21:36] <Queon> I purged the nVidia driver.
[21:36] <Queon> OpenGL is still missing.
[21:37] <BluesKaj> well, my suggestion is to try the other additional drivers
[21:39] <Queon> It all worked perfectly before I saw fit to try a new driver.
[21:39] <Queon> I just want to undo what I messed up.
[21:39] <BluesKaj> and make sure you've updated and upgraded
[21:40]  * BluesKaj shrugs well, if you won't try them then , good luck
[21:41] <Queon> Is there absolutely /no/ way to restore OpenGL?
[21:41] <BluesKaj> yes if you install the rightn driver
[21:42] <Queon> I'm running the Nouveau driver that came with Kubuntu.
[21:42] <Queon> And it worked before.
[21:43] <Queon> It had OpenGL from the start.
[21:43] <BluesKaj> try the other drivers available , that's all can tell you
[21:43] <Queon> How helpful...
[22:56] <FlowRiser> hey guys, know any good recording software for kubuntu ?
[22:56] <FlowRiser> I want to record my screen
[22:56] <AbhiK> same here
[22:57] <FlowRiser> I could probably get around by saving a picture each time my monitor refreshes, but that could take up quite some space O.o
[22:59] <AbhiK> that's cumbersome
[22:59] <AbhiK> too much of manual work
[23:00] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, i already got some scripts i did a while ago to convert some pictures into an .avi file
[23:00] <AbhiK> yea, but we have to take snaps manually, that's cumbersome!
[23:01] <FlowRiser> no, you don't :P That's just an interface ... you can use ffmpeg to take a screenshot
[23:01] <AbhiK> Oh Okay!
[23:02] <FlowRiser> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Kubuntu_Screencapture#FFMPEG_with_x11grab
[23:02] <FlowRiser> seems that ffmpeg is, in fact the way
[23:02] <AbhiK> (y)
[23:02] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, that looks like boobies
[23:03] <FlowRiser> (.Y.)
[23:03] <AbhiK> :(
[23:03] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, don't be sad! You'll grow some, someday :P
[23:03] <AbhiK> :facepalm:
[23:04] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, do you know what kamoso does in kubuntu  ?
[23:04] <AbhiK> i installed it some time ago
[23:04] <AbhiK> but
[23:04] <AbhiK> let me recall
[23:05] <AbhiK> uh huh, i never used it :-\
[23:05] <AbhiK> don't know why i installed :S
[23:06] <AbhiK> i don't think it records desktop, FlowRiser!
[23:07] <FlowRiser> brb, relog
[23:32] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, you here ?
[23:33] <AbhiK> yea!
[23:33] <AbhiK> :)
[23:33] <FlowRiser> for screen recording you need: ffmpeg libx264-dev x264
[23:33] <FlowRiser> it's really easy
[23:33] <AbhiK> i searched over the net
[23:33] <FlowRiser> ffmpeg -xerror -loglevel info -f x11grab -framerate 25 -video_size 1360x768 -i :0.0+0,0 -dcodec copy -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 -y /home/flow/Desktop/qx11grab-650125.avi
[23:33] <FlowRiser> that's what i done :D
[23:34] <AbhiK> i got the same thing
[23:34] <AbhiK> no software i suppose
[23:34] <AbhiK> hmmm
[23:34] <FlowRiser> qx11grab is one
[23:34] <FlowRiser> but it doesn't work properly
[23:34] <AbhiK> ohh
[23:34] <FlowRiser> i had to export that script and got that
[23:34] <AbhiK> hmm
[23:35] <FlowRiser> it works amazing :D
[23:35] <FlowRiser> i can't even tell when i'm recording
[23:35] <AbhiK> ohh, i'll give it a try
[23:35] <AbhiK> seriously?!
[23:35] <AbhiK> wooooowww!
[23:36] <FlowRiser> and for 1360x768, 30 seconds of recording is 500 kb
[23:36] <FlowRiser> so pretty amazing :D
[23:36] <FlowRiser> i suggest making a script and running from a konsole
[23:36] <FlowRiser> so you can stop it fast
[23:36] <AbhiK> so much better than many of windows softwares too!
[23:36] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, yes :D
[23:37] <FlowRiser> Linux wins, everytime.
[23:37] <AbhiK> i'm upto customizing my kubuntu desktop first
[23:37] <AbhiK> :D yeaa!
[23:38] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, in the next couple of weeks there'll be some new themes for the kde-greeter, i'll ping you when they get uploaded :D
[23:38] <AbhiK> wow, thanks!
[23:39] <AbhiK> have you used archLinux?
[23:39] <AbhiK> themes and widgets are great in there!
[23:41] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, no, i'm using kubuntu 12.10 for now :D
[23:41] <FlowRiser> but i heard great things about arch
[23:41] <FlowRiser> I'll give it a go when i have time
[23:41] <AbhiK> hmmm
[23:42] <AbhiK> even i never tried it
[23:42] <AbhiK> a friend of mine uses it
[23:42] <FlowRiser> it seems that archLinu
[23:42] <AbhiK> and i see his desktop like thrice a day!
[23:42] <FlowRiser> ArchLinux's kde works faster than ubuntu's
[23:42] <FlowRiser> or so i've heard
[23:43] <AbhiK> and it gives me goosebumps
[23:43] <AbhiK> :D
[23:44] <FlowRiser> The quest for the perfect desktop never stops.
[23:44] <FlowRiser> Do you know any good video editing software on linux ?
[23:44] <FlowRiser> i don't need fancy stuff
[23:45] <AbhiK> na...
[23:48] <AbhiK> well, Avidemux seems pretty simple, FlowRiser.
[23:48] <AbhiK> and a good one too...
[23:52] <FlowRiser> AbhiK, thanks, will look into it :D
