See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#File-location_related_variables [09:20] cheers valorie ill check that out now. [09:30] valorie: I added /home/(me)/bin to the /etc/environment then logged out and restarted the X server. when i came back in and did $echo $PATH the changes had taken effect, but apt-get still complains "kdenlive : Depends: ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed" [09:31] hmmmm [09:32] I'm no expert, but I do build amarok locally like you have built ffmpeg (in your home) [09:32] the very detailed instructions we use to build might help [09:32] no worries, its not so important. Its pretty much how I want it so might be best not to mess with it. [09:32] thanks for your time.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [11:48] BluesKaj: kubuntu 13.04 has worked with this card for a while, and some earlier versions. i dont see why you suggest a graphical incompatibility [11:51] guest7h8vuo. it's not incompatible , it bypasses all the programming of the hardware specific clock rates and registers on the video card [11:52] it's your call [11:53] perhaps the the gurus at #ubuntu can help since it isn't a kde specific problem , it's an X loading problem , guest7h8vuo [11:54] BluesKaj: an x loading problem it seems, yeah [11:56] and my ati graphics knowlwdge is limited , so the guys at #ubuntu know much more than I do , and the room has almost 8 times the population here , chances for a solution are much better there [11:57] I'm a nvidia user [12:06] BluesKaj: checking in ubuntu, thanks [12:06] BluesKaj: thanks for your assistance yesterday too [12:07] guest7h8vuo. np [12:29] to reinstall lightdm its 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm' no? [12:34] guest7h8vuo. yes [12:42] guest7h8vuo. another suggestion , altho sybtle it does make a difference on a personal level and that is to choose a real nick and stick with it, so ppl can get to know you and are much more likely to help === bruno is now known as Guest73787 === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 [14:47] Good afternoon. === kubuntu is now known as Guest80745 [14:50] logged in as guest into kubuntu earlier, large files in /tmp directory i may need to delete. now logged into livecd kubuntu, what directory contains the guest user files? [14:52] Guest80745: Thought it was /home/kubuntu (it is made during the boot). [14:54] lordievader: are guest account tmp files deleted upon exit? [14:56] it doesnt seem to be so [14:57] hi everyone [14:57] also, what is the default guest account password [14:57] to login with ctrl+alt+f1 [14:58] hmmmmm [14:58] which kubuntu version is More Stable ?? [14:59] anyone ?? [15:01] Guest80745: Prgrams may not expect that files remain in /tmp after a reboot. For /var/tmp they may expect them to remain. Or so I read. [15:02] Guest80745: Oh and I thought you were asking about the live-cd user. I'm not really sure what the homedir is for the guest user. I think something like /home/guest. [15:03] lordievader: no, its not home/guest, hmm [15:03] /home/guest [15:05] Guest80745: You could login as the guest user and issue "echo $HOME". [15:05] Hi there! I have a pc with windows that stopped working. I then formatted everything and installed Kubuntu on it. Now I realised that some files that were on the windows partition could still be useful to me (some pdfs) and I would like to recover them. Can someone give me some tips? I am now booted into kubuntu. I downloaded testdisk but Im affraid I am not very good at working through it. Cheers! [15:06] lordievader: deleted /var/tmp, and good to go i think, guessing guest tmp file(s) is in there somewhere [15:06] thanks [15:06] Guest80745: Deleting /var/tmp is not a good idea... [15:07] sebastian: You can forget about those files. If you only formated the disk they might still be recoverable, but since you installed Kubuntu over it the change of recovering anything is near zero. [15:09] lordievader: However the kubuntu install is much smaller than my previous windows installation and all those files. Do you think, given that, there might still be a chance? at least for getting a list of the files still recoverable... [15:11] sebastian: If there is, it is going to be very slim. Also if you are currently using the disk the chance of recovering anything gets smaller and smaller with time. [15:12] sebastian: This is the reason why backing up is so important. [15:14] lordievader: I understand what you mean. However I tried using testdisk just in case there would be that slim chance. I just dont really know how to operate it after the point of selecting the hard disk, which afterwards leads me to the list of partitions of kubuntu. ... and I dont know what to do next. I understand the chance is slim , however I would still like to give it a try. Do you know how should i use test disk? === user2 is now known as guest324234 [15:17] sebastian: No I don't, I'm afraid. File recovery is a very complex task better left up to professionals. [15:18] sebastian. and it can be very expensive [15:19] Yes, hiring a professional will be very expensive. [15:19] Ok, cheers guys!

[23:42] !chroot [23:42] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [23:43] jovando: ^^^ [23:43] i try since 3 hours to do that - have also read the articles but i cant establish [23:44] ok, thanks but i dont believe that i can establish it with this article [23:45] because sb said i dont have to install extra packages [23:45] the case is that i cant boot anymore because of load fallback graphic device fail [23:46] so i booted live cd [23:46] now i can do something with chroot so that the system believe i am the system root - not the root of live cd [23:48] dont you have a option to boot in recov ery mode with grub? [23:49] ...by pressing shift key during boot, it should show the grub menu [23:49] @jovando [23:51] yes but there are just a menu where i can choose several options [23:52] one moment i will check it on the issue computer [23:52] may try to boot an older kernel, or go to the konsole after the recoverry menu did load? [23:52] then reinstall an other driver for your video card? [23:53] ok one mom [23:53] i would first start with the recovery mode and then let the menu loading [23:53] grub come automatically.... [23:54] ah, not bym e anymore :) [23:54] by me [23:54] no kernel works of all any more [23:54] ok i will choose the recovery mode [23:54] how did you manage that [23:55] then you may first check all filesystems [23:55] didnt need shift because boot menu (grub) appears anyway [23:55] ok, was just in case it didnt anymore [23:55] i chose recovery mode [23:55] ok [23:55] hoping it loads it [23:56] now i have the options: resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary [23:56] do fsck first [23:56] after that load network [23:57] but lets see how fsck works [23:58] ok, one moment
