[08:05] <raven_wolf> hello, when i did an upgrade to KDE 4.10.2 on Kubuntu 12.04 x64 the login screen is gone and i have to login from a shell and type startx?  how do i get back the graphical login screen again?
[08:23] <nook> Hi, i use Kubuntu as OS for my XBMC-Server. The prob is, if i start up the System and my TV (HDMI) is off, i get a black screen if i tourn m TV on. Or if i only start the XBMC for my XBMC-Cleint, they cant acces the files i think that KDE dont start correcty without my TV, but is ther some that i can do?
[08:29] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:05] <anonymity> hi guys ... well i have no sound on my dell r17 se  with  kubuntu 12.04  do you have an idea if it is fixable or where to start
[09:06] <lordievader> anonymity: Place to start would be to check if Pulse gets any signal, to check that install pavucontrol.
[09:07] <anonymity> ok thank u
[09:08] <anonymity> ok it says i need a restart so i will be back soon :)
[09:20] <anonymity> back again :) okay pavucontrol gives a signal for spotify output
[09:20] <anonymity> but still no sound
[09:20] <anonymity> (of course)
[09:21] <lordievader> anonymity: Do other things, that user pulse, have an output?
[09:22] <anonymity> i will check it
[09:22] <lordievader> anonymity: This might also interest you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[09:22] <anonymity> alsa plugin for youtube give me output too
[09:23] <anonymity> okay thank u
[10:37] <nook> Hi, i use Kubuntu as OS for my XBMC-Server. The prob is, if i start up the System and my TV (HDMI) is off, i get a black screen if i tourn m TV on. Or if i only start the XBMC for my XBMC-Cleint, they cant acces the files i think that KDE dont start correcty without my TV, but is ther some that i can do?
[10:50] <monkeyjuice> nook:  sounds like your tv is not getting the input right ..it needs to be on and searching when you start your sytem
[10:54] <nook> if my tv is turned on on boot up, everithing works fine :-) but sometimes i just need the pc as XBMC-Server fpr my Cleints to Stream the content, and then my TV is off, because i dont need it...
[10:56] <nook> but i think the hole x-server dont start without atteched HDMI device, because if i tourn on my TV after booting, i had a black screen and the only way to fix is reboot via ssh :(
[11:07] <lordievader> nook: What happens when you start without the tv on, start the tv get the black screen. And ssh in and run startx?
[11:08] <nook> lordievader, i dont know, but 1 sec i will try :-)
[11:09] <nook> lordievader, device is booting up...
[11:10] <nook> Fatal server error:
[11:10] <nook> no screens found
[11:10] <nook> (EE)
[11:10] <nook> Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
[11:10] <FloodBotK1> nook: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:12] <lordievader> Your right Xorg doesn't start without the TV on... strange...
[11:12] <lordievader> Unless it is already running... Does "ps aux|grep X" return an x server process?
[11:13] <nook> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5704387/ not realy :(
[11:14] <nook> can i creat a "dummy" device as fallback if my tv/av receiver is off?
[11:17] <lordievader> nook: Good question, perhaps. I really have no experience with HDMI...
[11:17] <lordievader> nook: What happens when you run "sudo /usr/bin/X :0"?
[11:19] <nook> im not sure, sorry i rebootet the PC because my GF wants to watch a movie^^
[11:20] <lordievader> nook: That command can start an X server on my headless-server...
[11:20] <nook> maybe not the TV is the problem, maybe its the AV-Receiver thats tourned off too?
[11:21] <lordievader> The reciever only does sound right? If so it has nothing to do with X...
[11:26] <nook> nop its an HDMI reciever
[11:30] <ronalds_maz> I have serious problem with kazam and kde
[11:31] <ronalds_maz> or kubuntu
[11:31] <lordievader> nook: Hmm, perhaps. I really don't know. Perhaps Blueskaj knowes a fix. When he comes online.
[11:31] <ronalds_maz> kazam was best screen recorder but it somehow doesn't starts not
[11:31] <ronalds_maz> now *
[11:32] <ronalds_maz> I google that pulse audio has some connection with kazam, and it has
[11:32] <ronalds_maz> just enabled all sound in it, and now kazam starts
[11:33] <ronalds_maz> any better alternative for kazam, that go with kde
[11:33] <ronalds_maz> or I should just delete pulse audio?
[11:34] <nook> ronalds_max have u tryed recorditnow?
[11:37] <liudas> ronalds_maz: i use kdenlive. from v0.9.4 you can record with ffmpeg and everything you record goes stright in to the project for editing
[11:37] <ronalds_maz> well I use kdenlive
[11:38] <ronalds_maz> couldn't find feature for screen recording
[11:38] <liudas> wait
[11:38] <ronalds_maz> but it's ok, kazam now works
[11:38] <nook> i use kdenlive + recorditnow i think is a good team :)
[11:38] <ronalds_maz> but pulse audio bugs me now
[11:38] <ronalds_maz> recorditnow records in ogv
[11:39] <ronalds_maz> I get buggy video file with it
[11:39] <ronalds_maz> ok, later, if I will get the same problem
[11:40] <liudas> ronalds_maz: kdenlive -settings - capture - screengrab tab | choose your prefered quality and codecs
[11:41] <liudas> to record: in ain window - record monitor dock - bottom record monitor tab - choose screen grab
[11:41] <liudas> and go
[11:42] <liudas> you can adjust this choise to be default in settings
[11:43] <liudas> as for me if i want kdenlive not to be seen in taskbar, i move it to virtual desktop 2 and task bar is configured to shoe only items from surrent desktop
[11:44] <liudas> after this almost new kdenlive feature, for me thereis no more need to use other software for screengrabing
[11:59] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:57] <ronalds_maz> how to change scaling for windows to go full in side, not 1/4 of the screen
[12:58] <ronalds_maz> kde seems to be full of customization but I can't find
[12:58] <ronalds_maz> this one
[13:02] <BluesKaj> ronalds_maz, size the window to what you like , right click on the titlebar , choose 'more actions" then "special application settings' , then, size and position tab , size and position , check the size and position boxes, then choose 'remeber ' in the drop downs.
[13:03] <BluesKaj> err rememeber :)
[13:03]  * BluesKaj looks for his glasses
[13:03] <ronalds_maz> I need for all windows
[13:04] <ronalds_maz> when you drag window to the side, it give 1/4 of the window, as I need 1/2
[13:04] <BluesKaj> I don't don't understand, sorry
[13:04] <ronalds_maz> I just can't find using 1/4 anyway
[13:05] <ronalds_maz> dragging windows scales it
[13:05] <BluesKaj> do you get a full window but i's just small ?
[13:06] <ronalds_maz> I want dragging windows like in compiz, where it doesn't give option for 4 apps in desktop , bet 2
[13:06] <ronalds_maz> I'm really trying to explaine
[13:07] <ronalds_maz> scaling when  drag windows......
[13:07] <BluesKaj> scaling what ?
[13:07] <ronalds_maz> window
[13:08] <ronalds_maz> any windows you can scale fullscreen, 1/2 screen 1/4 of the screen
[13:08] <BluesKaj> do see the everything in the window or not
[13:08] <ronalds_maz> I wan't to disable 1/4
[13:08] <BluesKaj> in compiz
[13:08] <BluesKaj> ?
[13:08] <ronalds_maz> .........
[13:09] <ronalds_maz> I have kwin, I don't understand what I see in the window or not in compiz
[13:10] <BluesKaj> sorry ,I don't understand you .. i give up
[13:10] <ronalds_maz> take a mouse click in window tile, and drag the window to the side of the screen
[13:10] <BluesKaj> I use differnt desktops
[13:11] <BluesKaj> different pagers / desktops
[13:12] <ronalds_maz> for example file manager is too big for 1/4 of the screen cause you can't see more than 2 icons, and almost every other app too
[13:14] <BluesKaj> ok so the window is cut off
[13:15] <ronalds_maz> tiling is too much
[13:15] <BluesKaj> don't tile
[13:16] <ronalds_maz> but it is natural action when you need to work with more seperate windows
[13:18] <BluesKaj> I don't know how to solve your porblem , sorry ,...I just one app per pager and switch between them
[13:18] <BluesKaj> use
[13:18] <ronalds_maz> ok
[13:19] <BluesKaj> ronalds_maz, try in #kde
[13:20] <BluesKaj> ask rather
[13:21] <DylanCl> Do you guys have a script for streamin to twitch.tv?
[13:25] <BluesKaj> online game site , DylanCl ?
[13:26] <DylanCl> Yeah, where people stream gaming.
[13:26] <DylanCl> I have a script already, but it doesn't show a like, border for my resolution
[13:27] <DylanCl> Like, when I put in 1280x720, I want it to put a border
[13:27] <DylanCl> Is that possible?
[13:28] <DylanCl> I can link the script in pastebin if you want
[13:28] <BluesKaj> aren't the games played with a browser or is it a client ?
[13:29] <DylanCl> Oh sorry, I gave you wrong information
[13:29] <DylanCl> people stream their gameplay to that site
[13:29] <DylanCl> They play, use a program to capture it and then it goes to that site
[13:30] <DylanCl> but don't worry about that, the only thing I ask is to show lines for the resolution
[13:30] <BluesKaj> the resolution is controlled by the client/browser /player is it not ?
[13:31] <DylanCl> No, you select it yourself
[13:31] <DylanCl> streaming() {
[13:31] <DylanCl>    INRES="1440x900"
[13:31] <DylanCl> That is your inres
[13:32] <DylanCl> I like it on 720p
[13:32] <DylanCl> and I want it to show like, a box(that is 720p) so I can place my gamescreen in that
[13:32] <BluesKaj> well , perhaps you should ask in a linux gamer chat
[13:33] <DylanCl> I'm just asking for a line in my script that shows a bow, nothing else :/
[13:33] <DylanCl> a bow?
[13:33] <DylanCl> a box
[13:33] <DylanCl> My ubuntu is 12.04 LTS
[13:34] <Tm_T> DylanCl: I have no idea what kind of box you are needing or what script language you are using or else related
[13:34] <BluesKaj> ubuntu or kubuntu ?
[13:34] <DylanCl> Ubuntu
[13:35] <DylanCl> Wait, I'll explain it.
[13:35] <BluesKaj> then ask in #ubuntu
[13:35] <DylanCl> oh
[15:01] <marcellux> Hi, I started KDE IM Contacts and I want to stop it, but I cannot find it with the system monitor. Does anyone know the name of the process or any way to kill the process?
[15:06] <Tm_T> marcellux: you're referring to systray icon that is roughly in a shape of speech bubble?
[15:06] <marcellux> I could hide that, but the process keeps running in the background anyways...
[15:07] <Tm_T> marcellux: it's telepathy I believe, it uses background processes to handle connections
[15:08] <Tm_T> mission control is the service in question
[15:09] <marcellux> mission-control-5
[15:09] <marcellux> got it
[15:09] <marcellux> thanks a lot
[15:55] <BlessJah> how can I change the level of battery that triggers "Your battery is broken and needs replacement" notification?
[15:55] <BlessJah> it's quite annoying (I understand that it should be), but I'm not going to replace battery anyway
[17:27] <anonymity> I want to start a xserver application which is hosted by my server and controlled on my pc ... so what i know is that on my client xhost + must be set and i need to start a remote session from my client
[17:27] <anonymity> is that right ?
[17:28] <anonymity> then i need to type for example     firefox  -display clientIP:0 &       to start the firefox session on my client ?
[17:28] <anonymity> but then i get Error:  cannot open display :   clientIP:0
[17:37] <lordievader> anonymity: Am I right if I think you are ssh'ing into the server and trying to start a firefox-session from there?
[17:39] <anonymity> ok know i think i got it right .... just say if i did it right pls :  now i started a ssh to my server  like  ssh -X  name@server  and simply  started firefox
[17:39] <SonikkuAmerica> That sounds right... what's wrong?
[17:40] <anonymity> well i just read a howto with  export display  stuff
[17:40] <anonymity> well i dont get what i need that for
[17:42] <anonymity> its like xhost +   then start xcalc -display guest:0 &   and if it does not work then set DISPLAY=guest:0  and export DISPLAY  and so on
[17:42] <anonymity> what is this all about if ssh works just fine ?
[17:43] <lordievader> anonymity: You got it right with your -X, however sometimes the $DISPLAY variable is set wrong, they you can correct it with "export DISPLAY=<whereever X is>"
[17:47] <anonymity> ok thanks
[17:54] <BlessJah> how can i disable "Your batter is broken and needs replacement" notification?
[17:55] <SonikkuAmerica> BlessJah: Get a new batter. Maybe he'll hit a home run. :) Seriously, do you continue to get this after rebooting about 3 times?
[17:56] <BlessJah> SonikkuAmerica: laptop is about 4 years, battery reached level of 39% that triggered notification
[17:57] <BlessJah> 39% means about one hour, so it's reasonable to keep this battery (as i'm not going to replace it anyway)
[17:57] <BlessJah> SonikkuAmerica: i get it everytime i log in
[17:57] <SonikkuAmerica> Is it fully charged according to KDE's battery meter?
[17:57] <BlessJah> Battery 0: design capacity 4800 mAh, last full capacity 1888 mAh = 39%
[17:59] <BluesKaj> BlessJah,let the battery run completely down and try to recharge it overnight when you aren't using the laptop , I used to get the same message
[17:59] <BlessJah> the battery is old, it wont charge more than 39%
[17:59] <BluesKaj> how old ?
[18:00] <BlessJah> 4 years
[18:00] <BluesKaj> ok
[18:01] <BluesKaj> mine is 5yrs but I keep the laptop connected to the power supply
[18:01] <BlessJah> 11
[18:01] <BlessJah> meh
[18:01] <BluesKaj> as soon as I need to travel I'll buy a new battery
[18:33] <Ab3L> Hi. I'm trying to use an usb-irda bundle, but i don't know if it is working or not. here what says dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705434 and here what says lsusb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705359
[21:16] <Humblesnore> Good evening :)  I wonder if someone could help me. I have firefox 20 on here, and I don't like it.  I want to go down to Firefox 18 or 19, but do not know how to.  Could someone please advise? Thank you.
[21:22] <Humblesnore> anybody?
[21:26] <Walex> Humblesnore: please just don't do it.
[21:27] <Walex> Humblesnore: Firefox does upgrades also because previous versions have security problems, so going back means going back to a version with those security issues.
[21:29] <Humblesnore> Walex: respectfully, it's my decision, and I would like to revert to 19.
[21:30] <Humblesnore> I asked for help to do so . If you'd rather not help, please don't reply. Thanks :)
[21:31] <Walex> Humblesnore: then select the older package version in whatever package manager you use. You can specify the full package version in most APT frontends rather then just the package name which then defaults to the latest version.
[21:31] <Humblesnore> thank you
[21:35] <Walex> Humblesnore: however right now I have noticed that the ubuntu repos only offer 11 and 20. You may want to ask #ubuntu-mozillateam about where to find intrermediate ones
[21:39] <Humblesnore> ok, cheers
[21:40] <Humblesnore> sorry about getting pissy with you - i'm kinda wanting to get 20 off of my machine, since it's pestering me to do stuff i don't want to allow it to do
[21:43] <OerHeks> Humblesnore, sorry, only FF 17 ?  >>> http://www.oldapps.com/linux/firefox.php?system=ubuntu
[21:46] <Humblesnore> ah. Thank you OerHeks - the problem is, I'm looking for it as a .deb -
[21:46] <Humblesnore> i got 19 as a tar.bz2 archive, and can't figure out what the heck to do with it :)
[21:47] <Humblesnore> I unarchived it, looked at it, tried to do run the shell script, and it wouldn't run - nothing in the archive worked
[21:48] <OerHeks> ic no readme
[21:48] <Humblesnore> nope. there's no readme in the folder
[21:49] <OerHeks> firefox, or firefox-bin
[21:49] <Humblesnore> i tried both
[21:49] <Humblesnore> i can run neither
[21:49] <Humblesnore> if i try to run the firefox command from that folder, it opens 20
[21:49] <Humblesnore> i don't get 19
[21:50] <OerHeks> ah, rename it :-)
[21:50] <Humblesnore> to what?
[21:50] <Humblesnore> anything specific?
[21:50] <OerHeks> no, the name must be unique ofcourse
[21:50] <OerHeks> firefluffy ?
[21:51] <Humblesnore> feuerfuchs :)
[21:52] <OerHeks> I am not sure the behaviour of 19 will interupt with installed 20.
[21:52] <Humblesnore> ok, well I will apt-get remove 20 and see where we go
[21:54] <Humblesnore> well this is just odd.  I downloaded the tar.bz2 for 19.0.2 and it contains 20
[21:54] <Humblesnore> I am flustered
[21:56] <Humblesnore> juhuu :) We're in
[21:56] <Humblesnore> thank you, OerHeks
[21:57] <OerHeks> great, i have learned too.
[21:59] <Humblesnore> i had to run firefox-bin after i uninstalled firefox 20
[21:59] <Humblesnore> it did a compat check on the installed addons, then opened 19
[22:07] <DuckKie> anyone know why  "konsole --new-tab" would open a new window instead of a new tab?
[22:22] <Humblesnore> DuckKie, it would only do that if there were no instance of konsole already running, i would imagine
[22:33] <yahyaa> i have a question???
[22:34] <Humblesnore> you can ask it :)
[22:37] <yahyaa> i have just installed kubuntu 12.10 32bit on a laptop and it is not showing the wireless connections
[22:39] <DuckKie> Humblesnore: Thanks I got it resolved at #kde, there is a bug between versions.
[22:40] <Humblesnore> oh ok :) Cheers DuckKie
[22:42] <yahyaa> does anyone have a suggestion to how I can fix this problem????
[22:47] <tsimpson> yahyaa: perhaps you need extra firmware for your wireless chip, connect via ethernet if you can and try running the Additional Drivers tool from the menu under System
[22:55] <yahyaa_> I tried the additional drivers but it still did not fix the problem
[22:55] <yahyaa_> any other suggestions???
[23:09] <tsimpson> yahyaa_: then I guess you should look at the files in /var/log for maybe any error or diagnostic messages containing "network", maybe you'll find some clues
[23:18] <yahyaa_> can anyone help me with my wireless connections none of them are listed under wlan interface????
[23:25] <valorie> !wireless
[23:25] <valorie> ah, gone already
[23:40] <yahyaa_> no I am still here
[23:40] <yahyaa_> but that doesnt help me
[23:40] <yahyaa_> I am new to linux so i am haveing a hard time troubleshooting
[23:41] <yahyaa_> i am just trying to fix one simple problem
[23:42] <yahyaa_> but it feels like no one wants to help me
[23:45] <valorie> well, sometimes you just have to work through issues one at a time
[23:45] <valorie> because we're just here in the channel, not sitting beside you
[23:50] <yahyaa_> I am only working on one issue, but its like those who do try to help dont give me any worthwhile information, I just asked one simple question, but no one is helping me!
[23:53] <yahyaa_> everyone keeps tell me how great linux is, and the support network, I am new to this and I have been telling my friends and family about it, yet when I run into a problem, no one is around to help me or I am made to feel like I am being a pest or something!
[23:57] <valorie> yahyaa_: you aren't a pest
[23:57] <Artakha> yahyaa_, you could post on forums for instance
[23:58] <valorie> just -- it's a weekend, and no one in the channel knows how to help more specifically
[23:58] <Artakha> the silence only means the people who are around here right now do not know the answer to your question
[23:58] <Artakha> further, it's saturday night and people tend to be out
[23:58] <valorie> also, since your problem is an ubuntu problem, not specifically kubuntu
[23:58] <valorie> you might ask in #ubuntu -- much larger channel
[23:58] <Artakha> so you could either post on the forums or come back another time to re-ask
[23:58] <Artakha> or #ubuntu yeah
[23:59] <valorie> but that doesn't guarantee that anyone with the skills you needs will be 1. in the channel atm, or 2. paying attention to the channel
[23:59] <valorie> patience is the key
[23:59] <valorie> and good googling too
[23:59] <valorie> and using the bots
[23:59] <valorie> they have lotsa answers
[23:59] <Artakha> there's a lot of answers around everywhere
[23:59] <Artakha> the trick is picking the right one :P
