[00:01] <apparle> hey anything working??
[00:01] <apparle> of my gtalk problem
[00:02] <James147_> apparle: not yet :(
[00:02] <apparle> pidgin can connect

[00:03] <James147_> not that i know of
[00:09] <linuxpoet> Armorak doesn't import my mp3 collection correctly (although If I double click when searching the hard drive it can play them)
[00:09] <linuxpoet> any ideas?
[00:12] <James147_> linuxpoet: what do you mean by incorrectly?
[00:12] <linuxpoet> I mean it never shows up
[00:12] <linuxpoet> It says it imports and every time I start up it does what looks like checking for new music
[00:12] <linuxpoet> but in the collection screen, nothing is there
[00:13] <linuxpoet> If I click files, and click an mp3 it will play it
[00:13] <James147_> linuxpoet: Configure > amarok > Collection, is it scanning the right folders?
[00:13] <linuxpoet> Yes
[00:14] <linuxpoet> /media/A605/music
[00:14] <linuxpoet> I also have scan folders recursively checked
[00:15] <James147_> linuxpoet: you could try going to Files and  copying/moving a mp3 to collection from there (would only do one a s a test for now)
[00:15] <linuxpoet> Tried that via drag and drop
[00:16] <linuxpoet> doesn't take
[00:16] <James147_> not drag and drop, right click move or copy to collection
[00:16] <James147_> see if that works
[00:17] <linuxpoet> ok
[00:17] <James147_> linuxpoet: what version of amarok are you useing?
[00:17] <linuxpoet> 2.0.2
[00:17] <James147_> linuxpoet: you might want to try upgrading to 2.1, i find it handels collection better then 2.02
[00:18] <linuxpoet> are there debs?
[00:18] <James147_> http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download

[00:19] <linuxpoet> ok I will give that a shot
[00:19] <harjot> how do i restart the usb module?>
[00:19] <James147_> linuxpoet: that link folles to the kubuntu backport repositys, it will update you to kde 4.3 as well
[00:19] <nejode> harjot: I've seen  a couple of problems like that on Lenovo laptops
[00:20] <harjot> nejode: it never happened before i reinstalled kubuntu'
[00:20] <tommy> hi
[00:21] <nejode> harjot: try unloading the module and reloading it
[00:21] <Guest56564> has anyone got glut libaries installed?

[00:27] <tommaso> i've got some problems with the flash player on firefox
[00:28] <tommaso> it works fine in the beginning, audio and video perfect then suddenly the audio stops playing
[00:28] <James147_> tommaso:have you tryed reinstalling flash? some that have reporrted no sound found that worked
[00:29] <James147_> tommaso: although not sure why it worked then just stoped :S
[00:29] <tommaso> james: it happens after an hour or two, it works than stops working. how can I reinstall the flash player? i installed it through firefox
[00:31] <tommaso> if I close firefox and restart it, it solves the problem but then it happens again, not soon, but after a certain amount of time
[00:31] <James147_> tommaso: if you installed it through firefox then maby in firefoxs addons manager... otherwise try "sudo aptitude purge flashplayer-installer flashplayer-nonfree"
[00:32] <James147_> tommaso: then "sudo aptitude install flashplayer-installer
[00:33] <tommaso> james: in the addons I can disable it but uninstall thought
[00:33] <tommaso> though
[00:33] <tommaso> now i'll try with the terminal
[00:33] <James147_> tommaso: after you uninstall it make sure its gone be resatring firefox and seeing if it still works :)
[00:34] <tommaso> james: I just checked synaptics, adobeflashplugin and flash-plugin installer are installed
[00:35] <harjot> nejode: here is the output of restarting modules

[00:37] <datag> hi there. i just tested kubuntu 9.04 (maybe as a replacement for my gentoo system) and had following issue: sometimes i'm unable to shutdown/logout. there are several forum threads and some bug reports, but none helps me solving this. someone said a workaround is to turn off sound notification, but that didn't fix it. any ideas? could please someone lead me to _the_ main bug report please?
[00:38] <datag> oh, using kde 4.3 from backports
[00:38] <harjot> nejode: u there?
[00:39] <nejode> harjot: did you use "sudo" before the command?
[00:40] <apparle> James147: I found it
[00:40] <James147> apparle: how?
[00:40] <apparle> James147: I am using Psi
[00:41] <datag> hm, seems i found it; bug  #201569. very strange
[00:41] <tommaso> another problem I have: my current resolution is 1360/768. it is selected correctly in the ubuntu's display settings. the problem is that when I log in the system, it doesn't load the correct resolution. but if I go to the display menù, the mere thing of starting it makes ubuntu "remember" the resolution I selected before and it automatically switches to that. how can I make ubuntu "remember" when the system starts without going to the display settings?
[00:41] <nejode> harjot: still there?
[00:43] <James147> tommaso: what graphics card do you have>
[00:45] <maniere> k
[00:46] <tommaso> james: ati radeon x500. I think it supports the resolution I'm using
[00:48] <James147> tommaso: its an weird resalution, standard ones tend to be 1280x768 or 1024x768
[00:49] <tommaso> james: ubuntu seems not to be able to load the resolution at startup. BTW: I'm using an external monitor since my laptop monitor doesn't work, maybe that is the problem
[00:49] <tommaso> I forgot to mention this thing earlier, sorry
[00:50] <James147> tommaso: and you have to go to system settings >display to resize it every reboot?
[00:50] <tommaso> james: yes it is weird, because my monitor is a small widescreen but it is the suggested resolution.
[00:51] <tommaso> james: yes I have to do so but I don't have to change the settings, I just need to open the window and it resizes automatically
[00:51] <James147> tommaso: only thing i can suggest is to edit your xorg.conf file
[00:52] <James147> tommaso: but you will have to look up how to do that as i dont know enough about it to help you very well
[00:53] <James147> tommaso: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 might help
[00:53] <tommaso> james: i think the problem is the laptop screen, ubuntu detects first the laptop screen which is still active (but with no light) and it applies the lapton resolution to my external screen
[00:53] <James147> hmm
[00:54] <tommaso> when I go to the settings ubuntu becomes aware of the correct resolution and resizes it automatically
[00:54] <tommaso> i tried to disable the laptop screen but it doesn't save the setting after rebooting
[00:54] <tommaso> i have to disable it manually every time
[00:55] <James147> tommaso: not sure how to get it to auto detect an external monitor
[00:55] <tommaso> james: yes i think that what I should get ubuntu to do
[00:55] <tommaso> thank you the same
[00:58] <tommaso> james: i think the solution would be editing the Xorg conf file as you said but I don't think I'm able to do it
[00:59] <James147> tommaso:my laptop dose the same thing
[01:00] <James147> tommaso: there may be a workaround useing xrand
[01:00] <James147> xrandr
[01:00] <tommaso> i guess using an external monitor instead of the laptop screen is not a common situation
[01:03] <tommaso> i guess they're working on it for next releases: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17509/
[01:05] <tommaso> is there a way to add the display menu to my start up menu so that I have to do just one click to resize the resolution?
[01:06] <James147> system settings > advanced > auto start... but i am looking into a xrandr to see if that can do it
[01:07] <James147> then we should beable to just run that command at startup without going through system settings
[01:09] <tommaso> thank you very much
[01:10] <James147> tommaso: xrandr -s 1280x1024
[01:10] <tommaso> james: I should do this at everystartup?
[01:11] <James147> yeah, you should be able to put it in a script and auto run it at start up
[01:11] <James147> try it just incommand line for now to see if it works
[01:11] <tommaso> ok
[01:11] <tommaso> Size 1280x1024 not found in available modes
[01:12] <James147> change 1280x1024 to your wanted resalutions :)
[01:12] <tommaso> because it's a widescreen i suppose
[01:12] <tommaso> yes
[01:14] <James147> tommaso: do you know how to create scripts?
[01:16] <tommaso> here I am I'm sorry
[01:17] <tommaso> the command just made my screen turn black
[01:17] <tommaso> so I had to change the resolution with my laptop screen which is hard to see
[01:18] <tommaso> so the command doesn't seem to work
[01:18] <tommaso> I don't know why
[01:18] <Walzmyn> how can i make the task bar have full opasicty?
[01:19] <Walzmyn> err, excuse me, the panel
[01:19] <James147> tommaso: does it make both monitors go blank?
[01:20] <tommaso> james: only the external monitor
[01:21] <James147> tommaso: try xrandr --auto
[01:23] <tommaso> James: "try command not found
[01:23] <tommaso> excuse me
[01:23] <tommaso> i'm retrying
[01:23] <tommaso> i included try by mistake
[01:23] <James147> hehe
[01:23] <tommaso> ok it doesn't do nothing so maybe it works
[01:24] <tommaso> I should try it at startup
[01:24] <James147> tommaso:xrandr --auto works for me, sets reaaslution to the largets screen and the other gets cropped
[01:24] <James147> unplug the monitor
[01:24] <James147> and run it again
[01:24] <James147> that resets my laptop to its default
[01:25] <tommaso> if I unplug it and then plug it again, the resolution is already correct
[01:25] <tommaso> i have to reboot the system to see if it works
[01:26] <James147> unplug and runn the command without the external
[01:26] <James147> for me that disabled my second monitor again
[01:27] <tommaso> ok i'm trying i'm going out of this chat room and then I'm coming back
[01:27] <James147> kk
[01:27] <Walzmyn> James147: are you using two monitors that are both standard width or wide screen?
[01:28] <James147> i am useing one widescreen and one standard on my desktop, only have a widescreen on my laptop, but i dont use external monitors with that
[01:29] <Walzmyn> That's the boat i'm in. Widescreen laptop, standard external. It was annoying to have the edges of the screens chopped off
[01:29] <James147> Walzmyn: have mine set up in xorg useing nvidia-settings, but was testing my laptop to help tommaso
[01:30] <James147> Walzmyn: if your useing both screens at once you can have one screen next to the other at differnet resalutions, ranther then overlapping
[01:30] <Walzmyn> James147: yeah, i was using nvidia-settings as well
[01:30] <Walzmyn> yeah, but it makes the whole "screen" one height. So the widescreen gets the top or bottom edge trimmed off
[01:31] <Walzmyn> What is that mode thing that just went by?
[01:32] <tommaso> hi james here I am. it worked. actually I didn't even need to run the command. I did what you told me previously, to make krandtray start along with kde at startup. and that is enough to make the monitor select the correct resolution
[01:32] <James147> tommaso: good good
[01:32] <tommaso> james: thank you very much james, you solved it!
[01:33] <James147> tommaso: no problem
[01:35] <James147> walzmyn: dont know of a good way to make mirrored screens look good at different resalutions but placing the monitors side by side so you have 2 screens works well
[01:35] <James147> Walzmyn: only cant see a way to do that in system settings
[01:36] <James147> Walzmyn:xrandr --output VGA --reight-of LVDS   should set them up side be side
[01:36] <James147> replacing VGA and LVDS with the names of the displays
[01:37] <James147> found by running xrandr
[01:39] <Walzmyn> James147: i had all those options in nvidia-settings and that was still my problem
[01:39] <Walzmyn> it's ok, i've put that monitor back in storage.
[01:39] <Walzmyn> maybe i'll give it a go sometime and see if it'll work
[01:39]  * Walzmyn goes to feed the dogs
[02:10] <jess> i need some help. i have a kubuntu 8.10 and my usb ports stopped working. any ideas on how to fix it?
[02:13] <Walzmyn> jess you try rebooting?
[02:14] <jess> yes didn't work
[02:14] <Walzmyn> jess: interesting. I'm not sure.
[02:15] <Walzmyn> jess: there a reason you're not using 9.04?
[02:16] <jess> yes it kept freezing my computer and every other time i started it up it would basically crash
[02:17] <Walzmyn> jess I'm looking but i'm not familiar with USB backend stuff, sorry.
[02:17] <Walzmyn> jess:  just covering bases, it didn't get turned off in the bios did it?
[02:19] <jess> i'm not sure how would i check that?
[02:19] <Walzmyn> jess: if you haven't been playing around in bios, they it shouldn't have gotten changed
[02:19] <Walzmyn> jess: but to check you'd just have to look for the option somewhere in the bios options to enable/disable USB
[02:20] <jess> is there a way i can check it anyway?
[02:20] <James147> jess: whats the output of "cat /proc/modules | grep usb"
[02:21] <Walzmyn> there ya go. someone that knows what they're doing
[02:21] <James147> not really :)
[02:21] <James147> just checking to see if the modules are loaded, if thats the problem
[02:21] <Walzmyn> well, I knew that command was there, but i didn't know what is was :)
[02:21] <jess> ok if they are loaded?
[02:22] <jess> then what?
[02:22] <James147> did they work at anypoint in the past?
[02:23] <jess> yes they were just working yesterday and now today nothing?
[02:23] <jess> could they get shorted from a power outage?
[02:23] <James147> then its unlikly to be a bios setting  :(
[02:23] <James147> never hear of it before
[02:23] <Walzmyn> jess: what type of computer/  how old?
[02:24] <James147> jess: did "cat /proc/modules | grep usb" output anyhting?
[02:24] <jess> gateway don't really remember when i got it
[02:25] <jess> any idea the best way to reinstall the drivers if i need to?
[02:26] <James147> one thing you could try is to see if they work in a live cd
[02:26] <jess> i am waiting on it to boot up so i can check that. i am on my laptop right now
[02:34] <jess> can not check right now starting to lightning here really bad. if you come up with anything else please e-mail me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>thank you. and good night
[02:54] <Isum> Using 9.04...if fglrx installation fails...then replacing xorg.conf with a backup should allow me to get back in....right?
[02:56] <James147> Isum: if the abckups arent broken then yea, also think i read somewhere that the latest verison of xorg dont require a xorg.conf to work so you could try renaming xorg.conf if the backups fail;.
[02:57] <Isum> James147: Ok, I'll give that a shot. Yeah, I replaced it with both the backup I made and the failsafe and I still can't get into xwin.
[02:58] <James147> Isum: give it a shot without the xorg.conf then worst that can happen is it still dosent work :S remember to back it up ;)
[02:58] <Isum> Doesn't the DVD come with a repair feature?
[02:58] <James147> Isum: not sure
[02:58] <James147> Isum: do you have a ndidia graphics card?
[02:59] <Isum> ati
[02:59] <James147> nvidia ^^
[02:59] <Isum> Radeon HD 3200
[02:59] <James147> :(
[02:59] <Isum> Is ok, I'm used to it
[02:59] <Isum> I have one on my desktop too:)
[02:59] <James147> no, its just i know a way for nvidia to setup xorg.conf easily
[02:59] <Isum> I'll get it purrin' eventually.
[02:59] <Isum> Oh, too bad.
[03:02] <James147> hmm, you might want to try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:02] <James147> but i donthtink dpkg will edit it if it has been modified... http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/06/msg01009.html
[03:02] <Isum> yeah, getting rid of xorg is not helping
[03:02] <k4ever> hi all.  i'm having trouble mounting drives using dolphin (kde 4.3/jaunty).  my sd card mounts as read-only.  when i try to mount my windows partition (ntfs) i get the following error:  An error occured while accessing 'Volume (ntfs)', the system responded: kdesu: Unknown option 'comment'.
[03:03] <k4ever> ...i've used thunar and nautilus on the same system and they work fine.  just dolphin and all of kde 4.3 are having the problem
[03:04] <James147> k4ever: whats the contents of /etc/fstab (http://paste.ubuntu.com/)
[03:04] <k4ever> hold on
[03:06] <k4ever> James147:  pasted fstab.  hope i did it right.  haven't used it in a while
[03:07] <James147> k4ever: post a link here as well so i can get to it :)
[03:07] <k4ever> http://paste.ubuntu.com/257275/
[03:09] <James147> to get the ntfs to mount you can add and entry to fstab
[03:11] <James147> k4ever: along te lines of;  /dev/sdXX /media/windows ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0
[03:11] <James147> k4ever: where /dev/sdXX is the actual ntfs drive and /media/windows exists and is empty
[03:12] <k4ever> ok, what about the write problem with the sd card?  i have to mount with thunar to get it to work right.  dolphin won't play nice
[03:13] <James147> k4ever:mount a sd card with dolphin and post the output of "mount"
[03:13] <k4ever> standby, i'm editing fstab right now
[03:16] <James147> k4ever: after you edit fstab (and create /media/windows) run "sudo mount -a" to mount anyhting added to fstab
[03:17] <k4ever> forgot to add blank line to fstab
[03:20] <k4ever> James147:  how do i get the output from mount?
[03:20] <James147> k4ever: mount only outputs on errors
[03:21] <k4ever> do you want me to mount the drive manually (from the command line) or from dolphin?
[03:21] <James147> k4ever: or do you mean just "mount"?
[03:22] <James147> k4ever:the ntfs drive from command line - it should be auto mounted on boot form now on (or via sudo mount -a)
[03:22] <Isum> damn, I can't believe it. Looks like I"M going to have to reinstall
[03:22] <James147> Isum: why?
[03:22] <Isum> replacing/deleting xord won't let me back into xwin...still get scrambled screen
[03:22] <Isum> Don't know what else to do.
[03:22] <Isum> s/xord/xorg
[03:23] <k4ever> James147:  you said to mount the sd card with dolphin and post the output of mount.  what did you mean by "post the output of mount"?
[03:24] <Isum> good thing I didn't have anything important saved yet
[03:24] <James147> k4ever: mount the sd in dolphin and type "mount" in command line, post the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[03:25] <James147> Isum: if you dont have anything important then a reinstall is the eaist way... another muight be to create a small partition at the end, install it there (without grub) and stealing the xorg from that
[03:25] <James147> Isum: If you reintall I suggest creating /home as a seprate partition (helps when you need to reinstall :) )
[03:26] <k4ever> http://paste.ubuntu.com/257282/
[03:26] <Isum> Yeah, I thought the installer would do that automatically. SuSE does, that's what I use on my desktop...
[03:26] <James147> Isum:meh, I tend to always manually partition
[03:26] <k4ever> wow, i did not know you could do that.  get all of the current mount information by just typing mount
[03:27] <James147> k4ever: /dev/sdb1 is mounted rw, can you write to it at all?
[03:27] <Isum> James147: MIght it help to remove the fglrx packages?
[03:28] <James147> Isum: dont know what they are :D
[03:29] <k4ever> James147: no.  i think the sd card might be corrupted. is there a way to run scandisk on it from linux or should i just do it from windows?
[03:29] <Isum> James147: fglrx-amdcccle and fglrx-kernel-source....and fglrx-modaliases
[03:29] <James147> k4ever: try "sudo mkdir /media/KELVINTILT2/test"
[03:30] <James147> k4ever:and ls /media/KELVINTILT2 to make usre its there :)
[03:31] <k4ever> mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/KELVINTILT2/test': Read-only file system
[03:31] <James147> Isum: you could try, not sure it will work though
[03:32] <James147> k4ever:do you have another usb stick to test?
[03:32] <k4ever> i unmounted it from dolphin, then remounted it using thunar.  i can write to it with thunar.  something is wrong with dolphin
[03:33] <k4ever> i might have another usb stick.  give me a minute
[03:35] <James147> k4ever: give me the output of mount after mounting it with dolphin and thunar
[03:35] <k4ever> here is mount output for same card mounted with thunar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257284/
[03:37] <Isum> hello
[03:37] <Isum> James147: winrar
[03:37] <James147> Isum: ^^
[03:39] <k4ever> i mounted with thunar.  then created a folder with thunar.  no problems.  i did not umount.  i switched to dolphin and clicked on the directory.  i then tried to create a folder.  dolphin would not let me.  i then switched back to thunar and now thunar is saying the device is mounted read-only.  dolphin is screwing up the drive and somehow making it read-only.
[03:40] <James147> k4ever: never seen it do that before
[03:40] <Isum> wtf........
[03:40] <Isum> James147: Forgive me, I"m new to Ubuntu...is there some reason why my root pass might not be the same as my login pass?
[03:41] <James147> k4ever: what os are you running? (ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu etc)
[03:41] <James147> Isum: it never is some some reason :S its ment to be by default
[03:41] <Isum> James147: Kubuntu
[03:41] <k4ever> i'm running xubuntu jaunty 64bit with kde 4.3 from kubuntu repositories
[03:41] <James147> Isum: su root has never worked for me without chaning the root pass first
[03:42] <James147> Isum: to change root password do sudo passwd root
[03:43] <James147> k4ever: any reason your not just runnong kubuntu?
[03:45] <k4ever> i'm away from home for a few weeks.  was running windows 7 and got tired of it.  decided to switch back to ubuntu.  only had an xubuntu 64 bit livecd in my laptop case.  installed it, played around with xfce then kde 4.3 came out.  decided to give it a try.  instead of nuking whole installation just installed from repositories over xubuntu.
[03:46] <Isum> James147: Ok, back to normal. So...in the future we both know how to remedy that little problem, no?
[03:46] <James147> Isum: reinstall the system ? :)
[03:47] <Isum> James147: Ha ha....y'know...I always feel like that's a form of surrender.
[03:47] <James147> k4ever: are the devices mounted as ro (via "mount") when you carnt write to them?
[03:48] <James147> Isum:I tend to think of it as getting a shiny new system :D
[03:48] <k4ever> mount still showing it as rw:  /dev/sdb1 on /media/KELVINTILT2 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,utf8,shortname=winnt,uid=1001)
[03:49] <James147> k4ever: try "sudo echo "bleep" >> /media/KELVINTILT2/bleeped"
[03:50] <k4ever> bash: /media/KELVINTILT2/bleeped: Read-only file system
[03:50] <James147> k4ever: that is really really wieard
[03:51] <k4ever> yeah.  kinda spooky.  mount is showing it as read-write
[03:51] <James147> k4ever: I would suggest a reboot if you havent already... never know
[03:53] <k4ever> James147:  i have.  i've had this problem for two days.  google it to no end.  rebooted several times.  something with kde and hal is screwing up my drive.
[03:53] <James147> k4ever: Just to check, the card dosent have a switch to make it read only/writelocked?
[03:54] <k4ever> no, its a microsd.
[03:54] <James147> k4ever: only other thing i can think to try is to reformat it and see
[03:54] <k4ever> the card reader doesn't have a lock switch, either
[03:55] <k4ever> ouch.  its got 7gb worth of songs and data on it.  i could try to scandisk with windows
[03:55] <James147> k4ever: I would back it all up anyway... just in case
[03:57] <k4ever> ok.  well i'm going to try to find another usb drive to test.  i might have another one in my car.  then i will play around with it in windows.  thanks for your help.  will come back here later and post anything that i find.
[03:57] <James147> kk cya
[04:00] <coreyman> I don't have a mouse hooked up, how can i access the menu and bring up terminal?
[04:01] <James147> coreyman: in kde alt+F2
[04:01] <James147> coreyman:for runner
[04:01] <coreyman> thanks
[04:01] <James147> coreyman: alt+F1 for menu
[04:03] <Isum> James147: Ubuntu has four package managers?
[04:04] <James147> Isum: Probally why?
[04:04] <maco> apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, kpackagekit?
[04:04] <Isum> James147: Well..wondering what they are and why you would need four
[04:04] <James147> Although apt-get is the abckend to all
[04:04] <maco> well dpkg is the backend to all
[04:05] <maco> update-manager uses python-apt as the backend. im not sure that it uses apt-get under that..i thought they were parallel
[04:05] <James147> dont know...
[04:06] <James147> aptitude is great for command line, kpackagekit is kde4s and synaptic is gnoms
[04:06] <James147> gnomes
[04:06] <coreyman> answer to your question, you only need one.
[04:07] <James147> coreyman: depends on your needs, you will need dpkg and apt-get, the others are optional but nice
[04:07] <coreyman> yea i only use apt-get but like was stated, dpkg is the backend.
[04:08] <James147> I tend to like aptitude... for the ability to mark packages as auto installed
[04:09] <coreyman> wow this raid card is so stupid
[04:09] <James147> ^^
[04:12] <MehmetAli> hello I am trying to install KUBUNTU, on setup at final screen , which we click install! button it tries to create the partitions, but in %5 it says failed to creat EXT3 file system partition
[04:13] <James147> MehmetAli: is there only one partition on the system?
[04:13] <coreyman> I'm only able to detect one device at a time on this card from within ubuntu I'm guessing...... The bios will only boot from a device plugged in to sata port 1, grub is set up for the device to be booted from sata port 0.... The live cd doesn't see my drive on sata port 1
[04:14] <MehmetAli> I have two NTFS partitions on same hardisk. and I have free partition 12gb.. so When i choose it in ubuntu.. it took 580 to swap, and rest amounr like 11 to ext3..
[04:14] <MehmetAli> and final screen it says language user name, and partition info which will format, when i click install
[04:14] <MehmetAli> it fails to create partition in %5
[04:15] <James147> MehmetAli: did you select manual partitions or one of the automated options?
[04:16] <MehmetAli> yes i tried like that too.. actually i erased both automatic EXT3 and SWAP partitions that have been created.. i had 12 gb. free
[04:16] <MehmetAli> so manually created 1gb swap and rest EXT3, also tried ext4..
[04:16] <MehmetAli> that screen went next step.. but again in install screen failed to create partition.
[04:16] <James147> MehmetAli: you could try manually formating the partiton iva command line
[04:17] <MehmetAli> oh... well is there wiki for this? because this is my second day for linux :)
[04:17] <MehmetAli> i have basic msdos  knowledge but not gnu yet.
[04:18] <James147> MehmetAli: i should be able to guide you though it :)
[04:19] <MehmetAli> well right now im in windows, so i just checked from computer management section, its showing two partitions that kubuntu created, but not file system types.. so i would appriciate if u guide.
[04:19] <James147> MehmetAli: Do you only have hte one computer?
[04:20] <MehmetAli> yea, im student..
[04:20] <James147> :D
[04:20] <MehmetAli> and i dont live in campus anymore
[04:20] <James147> did the network work in the live cd?
[04:21] <MehmetAli> oh yes... thats great.. so if i run live, i can open shell over there. rite ?
[04:22] <James147> yeah, live cd is the entire system on a disk :) if you boot into it now and call me when you get back (quassel is the default irc client in kubuntu)
[04:23] <MehmetAli> oki,, so c u from live kubuntu in 5 minutes james.. thanks for help.
[04:23] <James147> no problem
[04:39] <americanadian> hey is there anyone available for assistance?
[04:40] <americanadian> i'm trying to access my cd-rom drive to install another distro of linux but it won't read the cdrom?
[04:40] <James147> americanadian: Kubuntu wont read it? or your bios?
[04:41] <americanadian> the error message is: "an error occurred while accessing 'pc floppy drive', the system responded mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device"
[04:41] <James147> fd0... isent that for flopy disks? thourght cds where cdX
[04:42] <americanadian> i guess so
[04:42] <americanadian> if that's the case, i don't see cdX at all
[04:42] <James147> americanadian: what gives you that error?
[04:42] <americanadian> just: Home, Network, Root, Trash, PC Floppy Disk
[04:42] <americanadian> clicking on PC Floppy Disk
[04:43] <americanadian> trying to get this old POS to boot from CD - but it goes straight to kubuntu
[04:43] <americanadian> even though i tell BIOS to boot from CD first
[04:43] <James147> americanadian: what are you trying to do? burn an immage to the disk, or dose the disk already contain an image?
[04:43] <americanadian> the disk already has an image
[04:44] <americanadian> i am just trying to install another distro
[04:44] <James147> americanadian: there should be a key you can hit during boot (before grub) to get a list of bootable devices, its usualy F8 or F12
[04:45] <americanadian> on this old POS, it's f2
[04:45] <americanadian> and i already got a list of bootable devices - i put the CDROM first
[04:45] <americanadian> before hard drive
[04:45] <americanadian> but it doesn't boot from cdrom - it goes straight to kubuntu
[04:45] <americanadian> hence my problem
[04:45] <James147> americanadian: hmm
[04:46] <americanadian> i am wondering if installing kubuntu somehow disabled the cdrom
[04:46] <James147> americanadian: is it possible to boot form usb? although maby not if its old
[04:46] <americanadian> it's pretty old
[04:46] <James147> it shouldent have
[04:47] <americanadian> USB 1
[04:47] <James147> probally not then
[04:47] <James147> hmm
[04:47] <James147> dose the cdrom work at all?
[04:47] <americanadian> it's really odd because it worked before when i decided to install kubuntu last night
[04:47] <americanadian> but not now!
[04:48] <americanadian> how do i check to see if the cdrom works?
[04:48] <Isum> So kubuntu comes pre-installed with compiz...or these effects are just part of KDE now? I have never used 4.x
[04:49] <James147> Isum: kde4 has its own desktop effects as part of kwin
[04:49] <Isum> I see....
[04:49] <Isum> They're pretty good..no crash so far...
[04:49] <Isum> Does compiz still fail? I haven't used it since it first came out.
[04:50] <James147> Isum: Not so much I dont think, but I have never really used it
[04:50] <sean> hi
[04:50] <James147> americanadian: is you cdrom listed in /etc/fstab?
[04:52] <GinoMan_> so ya... firefox has a big ass memory leak
[04:53] <James147> GinoMan_: thourght they where getting better?
[04:53] <americanadian> i don't have an fstab folder
[04:53] <americanadian> but i have etc/cdrom
[04:53] <GinoMan_> I'm sure they are, but somehow I have a 500 MB firefox process with only 8 tabs open
[04:54] <americanadian> whoops
[04:54] <americanadian> i meant /cdrom/
[04:54] <americanadian> no etc
[04:54] <GinoMan_> .... americanadian: /etc/fstab is a file
[04:54] <GinoMan_> :)
[04:54] <americanadian> oh
[04:54] <americanadian> thanks
[04:54] <Bitty_f00f> Hi all.. yeah.. I'm having a lot of browser trouble in 9.04. Seems I can only get pages successfully with the w3m text browser.. I'm stuck
[04:54] <FloodBotK1> americanadian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:54] <GinoMan_> cat /etc/fstab = ?
[04:54] <James147> americanadian: fstab is a file... cat /etc/fstab
[04:54] <GinoMan_> in a pastebin
[04:54] <reklaw> wat up ppl
[04:55] <americanadian> ok
[04:55] <americanadian> got it
[04:55] <GinoMan_> ...... wait... so don't use enter as punctuation.... are they saying like... if I think up a sentence, and then hit enter at the end, I should make sure I've completely thought of everything I'm gonna say before sending it instead of chatting naturally?
[04:56] <GinoMan_> the just now how I've thought of something to add to what I've said
[04:56] <GinoMan_> that should be discouraged?
[04:57] <James147> GinoMan_: think its ment for lots of one word lines
[04:58] <GinoMan_> gotcha
[04:59] <GinoMan_> ..... no pun intended
[05:00] <americanadian> okay James147
[05:00] <americanadian> i've concluded that this cdrom drive has died
[05:00] <James147> it could also be disabled in bios??
[05:00] <americanadian> maybe
[05:00] <americanadian> i'll start it up to be sure
[05:00] <americanadian> restart
[05:00] <James147> or a lose cable :)
[05:01] <americanadian> i doubt it's a loose cable
[05:01] <americanadian> it's an OLD laptop
[05:01]  * GinoMan_ would try to help but doesn't know where to begin and isn't real interested with this
[05:01] <americanadian> dell inspiron 8000
[05:01] <americanadian> GinoMan_: smart move
[05:01] <James147> ahh lappys tend not to have the problem as much :)
[05:01] <americanadian> this laptop is a real mess
[05:01] <americanadian> the display is all farked
[05:01] <americanadian> i've got two split screens
[05:02] <americanadian> and missing some display in the middle
[05:03] <americanadian> like cutting up a picture in thirds and removing the middle portion
[05:03] <americanadian> and putting the first and third portions together
[05:03] <James147> thinks you need a new computer :
[05:04] <americanadian> i already got plenty of computers - this one belongs to my place of work
[05:04] <americanadian> one of the associate directors wanted to know if he could salvage it by putting a lightweight distro onto the laptop
[05:04] <americanadian> if not, then it goes into the garbage bin
[05:05] <James147> cant do much if the cdrom dont work
[05:05] <GinoMan_> looks like it's borked
[05:05] <GinoMan_> or more accurately, sounds like it's borked
[05:06] <americanadian> yeah
[05:07] <americanadian> just disabled the HDD
[05:07] <americanadian> doesn't boot from CDROM
[05:07] <americanadian> and yet bios recognizes it's there
[05:08] <James147> americanadian: try another bootable cd in the drive
[05:08] <americanadian> i've tried three already
[05:08] <James147> hmm
[05:09] <James147> not sure there is much else you can do
[05:09] <americanadian> yeah
[05:09] <americanadian> this laptop is gone
[05:09] <americanadian> the graphics is horrible
[05:09] <americanadian> even for a lightweight system
[05:10] <MehmetAli> James147: hi again jack. i run live version, but it is not connecting internet.
[05:10] <MehmetAli> sorry james!
[05:11] <James147> MehmetAli: over wireless or wired?
[05:11] <MehmetAli> i tried both
[05:11] <James147> what version of kubuntu?
[05:11] <MehmetAli> ethernet cable, and wireless. actually wireless scanned my wireless modem, and asked for passw, but didint connected.
[05:11] <MehmetAli> ethernet never run.
[05:12] <MehmetAli> both says connection failed
[05:12] <MehmetAli> in windows both are fine
[05:12] <MehmetAli> are we Admin in live mod. ?
[05:12] <MehmetAli> like super user i mean
[05:12] <James147> MehmetAli: what verion of kubuntu and what pc do you have
[05:13] <MehmetAli> kubuntu 9.04 x386.
[05:13] <James147> you are rarly root in linux, in the live cd you are user "ubuntu" but can access root via sudo or su without a password
[05:14] <MehmetAli> well i goto consol and write SU... it asked pass.. i just pressed enter.. but it said something negative..
[05:14] <MehmetAli> i remember but it was like no autohorization or something close to this.
[05:14] <k4ever> James147:  you still out there?
[05:14] <James147> k4ever yeah
[05:15] <James147> most the time you dont want to use su, sudo works for most things
[05:15] <k4ever> the drive had some errors on it.  i repaired it with scandisk.  now it mounts fine.
[05:15] <James147> k4ever: good good
[05:16] <MehmetAli> james do you think if i create partition of EXT3 from windows and try it in kubuntu setup..
[05:16] <k4ever> is there a safe way to scan and repair ntfs drives with linux?
[05:16] <Bitty_f00f> I seem to have the same problem as on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1175229 except w3m works for me. I can google multiple times..
[05:17] <James147> k4ever: Not that I know of, linux and ntfs dont work greatly togeather
[05:17] <James147> MehmetAli: dont know of a way to create ext3 partitions in windows
[05:18] <k4ever> darn, wonder if it will work in a virtual machine..
[05:19] <James147> MehmetAli: you could partition it in windows then format it in linux though, sudo mkfs.ext3 -L VOLUMENAME /dev/sdXX , will format a partition as ext3
[05:20] <James147> MehmetAli: replacing VOLUMENAME with the name you want to call it and /dev/sdXX with the actual device (probally /dev/sda2)
[05:21] <James147> MehmetAli: be careful to get the right partition (/dev/sdXX) or you will end up losing data (sudo fdisk -l will list your partitions)
[05:21] <MehmetAli> oh i got u jack, also bitty_food: send a link that i am checking, some laptops has this connection issues in 9.04
[05:26] <Bitty_f00f> Thanks..
[05:37] <MehmetAli> James147: I created ext3 and formated in windows.. now i will try to install kubuntu again. soon i will let u know. thanks
[05:42]  * Bitty_f00f researches the problem a little more.. with focus on laptop issues..
[06:29] <Abhi___> hi
[06:29] <Abhi___> any body here?
[06:30] <Abhi___> plz anyone response
[06:30] <Abhi___> i am testing
[06:30] <Bitty_f00f> Its quiet now
[06:31] <Abhi___> what?
[06:31] <Abhi___> blah
[06:33] <iheartfatdudes> arg
[06:37] <Bitty_f00f> Well, disabling ipv6 won't help, there isn't any on my system to begin with...
[06:41] <anubis> i dont have audio from internet...what do I need to do?
[07:32] <charles> what program do I need to install to extract the original file from multiple rar files?
[07:37] <CoJaBo-Aztec> charles: p7zip-rar can handle them (command line)
[07:38] <charles> is there any gui programs
[07:39] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Probably, I never had to unrar something from GUI before tho
[07:41] <leaf-sheep> charles: I think p7zip-rar will do the job for Nautilus (GUI) but I'm not sure about Dolphin.  Might does that too...
[07:42] <elitrou> charles: You can try ark
[07:44] <charles> ark didnt work
[08:25] <mrh> hi there.  anyone awake?
[08:26] <mrh> anyone have any experience with fuse-zfs?
[08:27] <elitrou> mrh: can you provide more details?
[08:41] <aspidites> is anyone else unable to create a new folder in dolphin via the context menu and/or file menu?
[08:42] <dwidmann> aspidites: which version of Kubuntu? KDE? Dolphin?
[08:43] <aspidites> kde 4.3 dolphin 1.3 kubuntu 9.04
[08:43] <dwidmann> aspidites: also, where are you trying to create the folder (alluding to whether or not it is a permissions issue or not)
[08:43] <aspidites> dwidmann, home folder. i've checked and reset permissions (via chown and chmod)
[08:44] <dwidmann> hmmm, I've not upgraded from the last beta or rc or whatnot yet :\
[08:44] <aspidites> dwidmann, i can create a folder using thunar and via command line. just not via dolphin. option simply doesnt exist, except if i add a toolbar button
[08:45] <dwidmann> Doubt it will be useful, but the default shortcut for creating a folder is f10
[08:46] <aspidites> dwidmann, confirmed that works. but need right-click option. (user comfort zone issue)
[08:46] <aspidites> brb
[08:47] <dwidmann> And it seems I have a monstrosity of a download ahead of me :(
[08:57] <Abhi___> oi
[08:57] <Abhi___> anybody here?
[08:57] <Abhi___> fuck
[08:58] <bazhang> Abhi___, watch the language please
[08:58] <Abhi___> ok
[08:58] <Abhi___> sorry
[08:58] <Abhi___> motherfucker
[08:59] <bazhang> !ohmy > Abhi___

[09:00] <bazhang> whoops
[09:40] <franco> ciao
[09:55] <Aison> somehow my machine hangs on shutdown :(
[09:55] <Aison> I think it's mysql process that can't be stopped
[09:56] <Mamarok> Aison: which Kubuntu and which KDE are you talking about?
[09:57] <Aison> Mamarok, oh, sorry, It's jaunty and kde4
[09:57] <Mamarok> which kde4?
[09:58] <Mamarok> there are 3 different available for jaunty
[09:58] <Aison> but it's not a problem of kde4 I think, because it hangs when kde4 is terminated already
[09:58] <Mamarok> recent kernel?
[09:58] <Aison> <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:59] <Mamarok> yes, that's the latest
[09:59] <Mamarok> do you run another MySQL server besides Akonadi?
[10:00] <Aison> I run the normal mysql server 5.1.3
[10:01] <Mamarok> well, by default there is only one, and that's the Akonadi one :)
[10:01] <Aison> akonadi is not a mysql server, it just uses mysql as database backend
[10:01] <Mamarok> did I say that?
[10:02] <Mamarok> and that MySQL server is started by Akonadi, it doesn't run on start IIRC
[10:02] <Aison> akonadi uses embedded mysql (by default, if you don't change it)
[10:03] <Mamarok> so if that is the only one this means it is KDE4 related, as Akonadi should also shut it down when you log out of KDE
[10:03] <Aison> I don't mean that, i've got a dedicated mysql server running
[10:03] <Aison> this one is started by init script
[10:03] <Mamarok> Aison: no, Akonadi is not an embedded server
[10:03] <Mamarok> well, then you need to check your own settings if it is that one
[10:04] <Aison> I said, akonadi USES mysql embedded by default
[10:04] <Mamarok> Aison: wrong, Amarok uses mysqle by default, Akonadi is a normal MySQL
[10:26] <vg> hi
[10:32] <meisam> hi
[10:35] <willi_> Hello, i have installed kubuntu with the option automatic login. But now i cannot use the sudo command. What's wrong?
[10:43] <norpan111> How do i remove gnome and how do i see wich version of kubuntu thats installed int "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[10:43] <norpan111> I want to see that i truly get 4.3...
[10:43] <norpan111> And i want to remove gnome completely

[11:36] <nutcase> yesterday i did an aptitude full-upgrade on a kubuntu karmic koala. it pulled nvidia-185 et al, but now i get a black screen instead of kdm after reboot. Boot splash works as usual, but starting kdm makes screen black, and i cannot switch back to console. ssh is still possible. Has anyone any hint, what i should check?
[11:52] <norpan> How do i install aurorae theme engine?

[11:54] <KIAaze_> hi, I just installed kubuntu and have an nvidia graphics card. Under ubuntu, it asked me to install a proprietary driver for it. Under kubuntu, it didn't. How do I install the correct driver?
[11:54] <xendon> google helps: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora+Gtk+Engine?content=56438
[11:54] <xendon> KiAaze_
[11:55] <KIAaze_> ?
[11:55] <xendon> type in Kmenu driver there will be a tool to install nvideia driver
[11:56] <KIAaze_> strange, I tried it before and it didn't work. Now it does. O.o
[11:56] <xendon> xD
[11:56] <KIAaze_> must have been the updates I did previously
[11:56] <xendon> shit happends
[11:56] <KIAaze_> it was 9.04...
[11:56] <KIAaze_> :)
[11:57] <xendon> ^^ you did dist-upgread ? already ?
[11:57] <KIAaze_> no, i installed from a kubuntu 9.04 cd
[11:58] <KIAaze_> and after that it didn't notice the nvidia card appearently
[11:58] <KIAaze_> also, is it normal that kpackagekit closes instead of installing software when i click on ok?
[11:58] <KIAaze_> apply works, but ok, just closes it
[11:58] <xendon> jep .. but im not sure .. im using aptitude in console ^^
[11:59] <KIAaze_> i use apt-get :p
[11:59] <KIAaze_> and installed synaptic...
[11:59] <xendon> aptitude is more inteligent
[11:59] <xendon> try sudo apt-get aptitude ^^ i don't know if its installed on default
[12:00] <xendon> oh apt-get install aptitude xD
[12:00] <apparle> xendon: in wha sense is aptitude more intelligent than apt-get?
[12:01] <KIAaze_> it cleans up better when removing software from what I've heard
[12:01] <KIAaze_> mmh, can't activate nvidia driver... :/
[12:01] <KIAaze_> I click on activate and nothing happens
[12:01] <xendon> KIAaze errormassage ?
[12:02] <KIAaze_> none
[12:02] <xendon> mmm tryed as root ?
[12:03] <norpan> How do i install aurora theme engine "sudo aptitude install kwin-style-aurora" does not work
[12:03] <m4rtin> hi, I'm experiencing a problem with gwenview (in KDE 4.3) instantly crashing upon load that seems to be a dependency problem with nepomuk. Should my nepomuk.so and soprano.so files both be 4.3? my soprano.so is 4.2, despite an upgrade

[12:45] <linuxson25> Hi everyone
[12:46] <linuxson25> Got a small problem with my KDE Plasma dashboard. Keeps on crashing when I plug and un-plug my E220 modem
[12:46] <linuxson25> Anyone maybe know why it does that? Tends to crash quite a lot actually
[12:49] <linuxson25> If someone could pm me, I would appreciate it...cause I am also chatting on other servers, and it just makes it easier to see if I got a reply or not. Thanx
[12:54] <combo> hello there, my computer started to work slowler few days ago, I want to know what causes that thing? Is there some monitor system in kubuntu? I use openbox, have all programs installed with that 8.04.3
[12:56] <oso> la carpe
[13:01] <martin____> hi all
[14:00] <nightf0x09> i got a sony vaio ns21z and using kubuntu 9.04...my internal mic doesn't work can anybody please advice me
[14:01] <KIAaze_> hi again. I have a strange problem: my taskbar (kde4) stopped working, but I can still alt-tab + use the system tray.
[14:01] <KIAaze_> it happened when I tried to unmount my usb stick with the device manager in the taskbar
[14:02] <anonymus> shceisse
[14:03] <KIAaze_> scheisse indeed :/
[14:06] <KIAaze_> is there any way to restart only the kde4 panel?
[14:07] <Dragnslcr> KIAaze_- open up the system monitor (ctrl-esc I think) and look for a process named plasma
[14:08] <KIAaze_> yay, I managed to terminate the taskbar because I got an "app not responding" message. Now how do I get it back?
[14:08] <Dragnslcr> Kill that process, then press alt-f2 and run plasma-desktop
[14:08] <KIAaze_> ok, it's back
[14:08] <KIAaze_> thx
[14:09] <Walzmyn> how can i make the panel be competely non-trnasparent? When it comes up I can see the windows behind though it and it's confusing
[14:10] <KIAaze_> it's just "plasma" by the way. It didn't find plasma-desktop
[14:10] <KIAaze_> deactivate desktop effects
[14:11] <KIAaze_> it's in system settings -> desktop -> desktop effects
[14:11] <KIAaze_> or did you mean just the panel? I'm confused.
[14:12] <Walzmyn> KIAaze_: are you talking to me?
[14:12] <KIAaze_> yes
[14:12] <Walzmyn> KIAaze_: yes, just the panel. I want to keep my desktop efects.
[14:13] <KIAaze_> well, in the taskbar settings you can allow windows to be above the panel.
[14:14] <Walzmyn> KIAaze_: under transparency everthing is set to full opacity except for moving windows
[14:14] <Walzmyn> KIAaze_: that's not hte problem, I can see windows THROUGH the panel and it makes reading the panel difficult
[14:16] <KIAaze_> panel settings -> more settings -> always visible?
[14:16] <Walzmyn> KIAaze_: that kills the auto-hide. don't worry abou tit
[14:19] <KIAaze_> mmh, I guess it's a missing setting. But I was using gnome before and never used desktop effects.
[14:20] <KIAaze_> viva el nuevo PC! :D

[15:07] <siddharta> hi everyone
[15:07] <Isum> I'm using 9.04....sound tests fine under system settings, but playing any kind of media just gives a "crackle" sound from my speakers.
[15:09] <kaddi> I'm having trouble with the kio::trash, it's not working. I tried reinstalling kdebase-runtime and removing .kde, however the problem persists. Does anyone know how to fix a broken kio-setup?
[15:10] <siddharta> what am I doing wrong? if I do: 'cd ~/scripts/ ; ln -s ./script.sh -t ~/Desktop/'  it creates the link on the desktop but it's emtpy and when 2-clicking it kate opens it ... but if I do: 'cd ~/Desktop/ ; ln -s ~/scripts/script.sh' it is created correctly .. what am I doing wrong? thanks

[17:13] <LuisJa> what is virtual box irc channel?
[17:16] <LMJ> hi
[17:18] <LMJ> i'm trying to install kubuntu on a laptop where  ubuntu was running fine. Problem : i'm stuck during the installation at a step "Choose and install softwares" : "a configuration step failed", is there any reason ? Cdrom checksums is ok, internet connection too
[17:18] <LMJ> it's trying to download ~619 files
[17:19] <noaXess> does anybody has knowing about jackd?. should it run as normal user or root?
[17:20] <axiom> Been trying a lot of things, what is the best combonation to get sound working in flash, under firefox?  Should I avoid the 64-bit builds?
[17:21] <BluesKaj> !amd64
[17:21] <BluesKaj> !flash64
[17:22] <axiom> Yeah, I know.  I have flash working, just no sound.
[17:23] <kidblooper> same here
[17:24] <axiom> I've been reading conflicting things about messing with various sound config files, but they don't seem to match what I have
[17:24] <kidblooper> my sound works on everything but flash
[17:24] <axiom> yes. same.
[17:24] <kidblooper> i used sudo-aptitude install flashplayer
[17:24] <kaddi> kidblooper: have you checked in kmix that nothing is muted?
[17:25] <axiom> Although Firefox HTML5 videos also have no sound
[17:25] <kidblooper> nope brb i'll check
[17:27] <kidblooper> nope that wasn't it
[17:27] <m4rtin> follow troubleshooting here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[17:27] <m4rtin> I found that just reinstalling flash plugin fixed it for me
[17:28] <axiom> m4rtin: I have tried that, both the apt-get version, and the actual 64bit one from adobe.
[17:28] <kidblooper> ummm lol maybe it was because it is working on  youtube now
[17:29] <kidblooper> axiom try kmix.
[17:29] <kidblooper> i really didn't think that was it.. but i checked unchecked mute a few times
[17:29] <kidblooper> and now its working.. "weird"
[17:30] <axiom> hmm.. all my kmix setting look good, plus I can play other sound
[17:30] <kidblooper> ya i could too "dunno"
[17:31] <kidblooper> mine wasn't working on youtube at all.. now it is
[17:32] <BluesKaj> axiom, kidblooper ,have you installed flashplugin-nonfree
[17:32] <kidblooper> yup
[17:32] <kidblooper> mines fully working now
[17:33] <BluesKaj> !flashplugin-nonfree
[17:33] <axiom> BluesKaj: Yes, I think that is what I am running now
[17:33] <harjot_> my cd drive, when i try to click on the blank cdr icon, it says "Could not start process, Unable to create slave"
[17:33] <harjot_> What does this mean/?
[17:34] <kidblooper> now if i can just beat this synaptics touchpad going insane
[17:34] <kidblooper> :)
[17:35] <BluesKaj> axiom, to make sure you have it installed : apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[17:35] <kidblooper> brb pizza to make
[17:36] <harjot_> my cd drive, when i try to click on the blank cdr icon, it says "Could not start process, Unable to create io-slave"
[17:36] <harjot_> What does this mean/?
[17:36] <harjot_> HELLO
[17:37] <axiom> BluesKaj: Ok, it is installed, and restarted firefox, but still no sound
[17:37] <James147> harjot_: If you want to burn something you can just open k3b and do it that way
[17:38] <axiom> BluesKaj: I am using the official apt-gettable firefox, 3.5.2
[17:38] <gwhipple> what do i use to uninstall old kernels
[17:39] <BluesKaj> you can use the package manager to remove linux-image XXX
[17:40] <darthanubis> anyone notice that after adding a printer, network in this case, the printer randomly it seems, disappears? Then you have to readd it?
[17:40] <BluesKaj> gwhipple, I used aptitude
[17:41] <James147> gwhipple: and linux-restricted-modules-XXX
[17:41] <harjot_> James147: its failing to burn [no error meseges, just wont goto 1%]
[17:41] <gwhipple> if i remove linux-image-??? will it remove all the dependancies too or just that package
[17:41] <BluesKaj> darthanubis, just use the print command on whatever text or site etc and the printer will reappear
[17:42] <kidblooper> :o
[17:42] <darthanubis> BluesKaj: no it does not
[17:42] <kaddi> BluesKaj: have you tried apt-get remove? I get a weird bug, when I use apt-get remove 2.6.28-11 it tries to remove all installed kernel from 2.6.28-11 to 2.6.28-15
[17:42] <BluesKaj> gwhipple, that's whay using synaptic is a good way to remove old kernel images
[17:43] <darthanubis> the printer is non existant,thus the printer dialog appears but without my printer
[17:43] <darthanubis> I have to readd via the systemsettings printer configuration
[17:43] <gwhipple> i haven't tried yet sidux had a program called "kernel-remover" but i didn't see that in (k)ubuntu
[17:44] <gwhipple> so thought i'd ask first
[17:44] <BluesKaj> kaddi, you have preface the number with the actaul name linux-image followed by the number , to check this look in the package manager to find proper name for them
[17:44] <harjot_> how would i change what kubutmu labels the axis on a joystick?
[17:45] <BluesKaj> darthanubis, fine, then do so :)
[17:45] <darthanubis> you always offer the most fool nonsense as advise
[17:45] <darthanubis> it is a problem
[17:46] <darthanubis> that is not the desired outcome of adding the printer in the first place
[17:46] <kaddi> BluesKaj: apt-get remove 2.6.28-11-* removes the kernel fine, it looks for  linux-image, linux-headers-lbm, linux-headers, linux-restricted-modules, linux-backports-modules, both for servers and generic
[17:46] <kidblooper> wow quite insulting
[17:46] <darthanubis> I only mentioned it here first to see if it is a known bug
[17:46] <kidblooper> fixed all my problems so far :)
[17:47] <darthanubis> since no one here at the moment can comment tothis matter intelligently, I'll file the bug
[17:47] <kaddi> BluesKaj: but 2.6.28-11* deletes all kernels from the 2.6.28 release
[17:47] <kidblooper> the work dick comes to mind
[17:47] <kidblooper> "shrug:
[17:47] <darthanubis> I did not think a channel could suck more than #ubuntu, but I guess this is the one
[17:47] <BluesKaj> darthanubis, well, maybe if you can offer better advice , then you're welcome to do so.
[17:48] <kidblooper> that is seriously rude
[17:48] <BluesKaj> kidblooper, don't be alarmed , the spew is nothing new from this guy.
[17:49] <kidblooper> BluesKaj Gotcha
[17:49] <darthanubis> kidblooper: watch your language kid
[17:49] <darthanubis> !language
[17:49] <axiom> Wow.  I just realized that sound work in Konqueror flash, but not Firefox.  What could this mean?  (I.E. how could I get it to work in FF too?)
[17:49] <kidblooper> lol
[17:49] <darthanubis> axiom: fix your pulseaudio
[17:49] <kaddi> axiom: well that is a first for me. Maybe try creating a new FF profile and check if it works with that?
[17:50] <BluesKaj> axiom, perhaps the plugin isn't added to FF yet
[17:50] <kidblooper> darthanubis i just call it as i see it.. kline me if you want, but your a DICK
[17:50] <kidblooper> bash someone trying to help you , is school house stuff
[17:50] <BluesKaj> kidblooper, just put him on ignore
[17:50] <kidblooper> true..   He offered foolish comments with no intent on helping, because he never addressed the issue. If you don't know, just keep quiet as to not waste others time
[17:53] <LuisJa> uhhh?
[17:54] <LuisJa> i am using virtual box to emulate windows xp, how much gb i should use for the virtual disk, 10GB?
[17:54] <kaddi> LuisJa: I usually give 10Gb and if you don't store many documents in it that's more than enough
[17:54] <LuisJa> thx kaddi
[17:59] <axiom> BluesKaj: I am somehow sure FF is using a different version of flash, but this does not explain why HTML5 Video also has no sound.  (I tried a new profile, and watched the "Welcome to 3.5" video in silence.)
[18:00] <LuisJa> i will try write the code so OSS - ALSA - PA can work
[18:00] <LuisJa> its annoying i cant use multiaudio
[18:00] <LuisJa> ya i know, hard thing but i will try ^^
[18:02] <kaddi> axiom: you can check what is used for flash in FF when you type "about:plugins" into the addressbar
[18:04] <BluesKaj> ok axiom, I would just purge FF, not sure if it's a bug , but now that plugins are installed , reinstaling FF might work.
[18:07] <Meiki> Hi - could someone help me with an IP address issue that I'm having. Please look at http://pastebin.com/m575e62fd, I can bind public services to the first IP, but not to the others (*.87- onwards).

[18:12] <kaddi> ComputAdminisrat: You can get all packages that are available from ubuntu-repositories at packages.ubuntu.com

[18:13] <axiom> BluesKaj: Tried --purge and reinsall of FF, still no sound.  about:plugins says: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[18:16] <kaddi> axiom: that does not look like the default libflashplayer entry. have a look at tools->extensions->plugins, do you see 2 entries for flash? maybe one with ndiswrapper and one without?
[18:18] <axiom> Yes!
[18:18] <kaddi> disable the ndiswrapper one and see if things get better :)
[18:18] <axiom> 10.0 d21 and 10.0 d21.  Neither says ndiswrapper tho
[18:19] <axiom> er... the  other is 10.0. r32 actually
[18:19] <kaddi> axiom: I'm not familiar with 64bit, but the current version of flash is 10.0.32, so I would try to disable the 21 one
[18:22] <axiom> kaddi: Tried both alone. the r32 one works fine, except for sound, and the d21 one does nothing at all.
[18:24] <axiom> I shoulda quit while I was ahead, flash no longer works in Konqueror now :(
[18:24] <kaddi> axiom: I've never had to use ndiswrapper so I can't really help you with this. It looks as if FF is trying to use a windows-version through ndiswrapper instead of the native linux one
[18:24] <kaddi> axiom: srsly? we haven't done anything to cause that though.

[18:24] <joshua__> is there a way I can tell if I actually loaded the SMP kernel?
[18:25] <axiom> kaddi: Not your fault.  I been trying all kinds of stuff.  Thanks for you help
[18:25] <joshua__> I find it hard to believe that a flash video that plays on Windows on a single 1.8 pentium has trouble with a 20% cpu background job when I have two 2.5
[18:27] <kaddi> axiom: just stay around and ask once in a while, someone is bound to know how to solve this.. or maybe check out #ubuntu-mozillateam they have been very helpful for me in the past
[18:27] <BluesKaj> altho i have 64 bit pc, these flash probs is the reason why I've stayed away from 64bit kubuntu , started a long time ago with dapper and I've stayed with 32 bit ever since
[18:27] <Walex> joshua__: not at all difficult to believe if you don't have video surfaces or the disk elevator is not right.
[18:28] <joshua__> video surfaces?
[18:35] <DHGE> hi - any idea WHEN we see the path that makes fish:// work again?
[18:35] <DHGE> uups: patch
[18:36] <LuisJa> how i can share my folders of linux with windows xp? for example, i donwloaded the command and conquer red alert 2 cd in linux, how i can use it in windows
[18:36] <James147> DHGE: fish:// is working for me on kde4.3
[18:36] <LuisJa> windows emulated by virtual box btw...
[18:37] <James147> LuisJa: running games in an virtual box means you cant take advantage of your graphics card,
[18:37] <James147> LuisJa: but one way might be to set up a samba share and share it over the network
[18:38] <James147> LuisJa: if your vitrual box can connect to the network
[18:38] <LuisJa> command and conquer 2 its impossible to rune it in linux because it throws an internal error
[18:38] <LuisJa> cause CC2 was made for xp
[18:40] <James147> LuisJa: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=252 - looks like it works in wine
[18:41] <LuisJa> rare cause the copy i have its a valid one
[18:41] <LuisJa> and after 10 seconds to 5 minutes it throws:
[18:41] <LuisJa> CC2 got an internal error, must close
[18:41] <LuisJa> my kde resolution becomes a mess
[18:41] <LuisJa> and i must restart the pc ¬¬
[18:42] <LuisJa> and now way its a error of the cd
[18:42] <LuisJa> cause i installed the game in a desktop pc with xp as os
[18:42] <James147> LuisJa: hmm, well, only way I can think of to get it in a virtual box is through samba
[18:42] <LuisJa> worked as heaven
[18:42] <LuisJa> samba?
[18:43] <James147> a file sharing system built on windows protocals
[18:44] <BluesKaj> !samba
[18:44] <DHGE> James147: I had no luck with the latest ppa5 (?), switched to sftp but this is slow used interactively
[18:45] <raster_ricardo> hello! I need the kubuntu 9.04 md5. where can I get it?
[18:46] <dodecanese> extract the sha1 and generate the md5
[18:46] <kaddi> raster_ricardo: have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[18:47] <raster_ricardo> thank you guys! =]
[18:47] <DHGE> raster_ricardo: or here:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/
[18:48] <dodecanese> vector fnord
[18:49] <DanzCanada> Hey there. :)
[18:49] <kaddi> hi :)
[18:49] <gjulian> Hi
[18:49] <DanzCanada> Heyyy yeah, listen. I'm having major issues installing Kubutu and was looking for a bit of help. ^_^
[18:50] <gjulian> DanzCanada: Tell, what's happening?
[18:50] <raster_ricardo> DanzCanada: just say what problems you are facing
[18:51]  * kaddi decides not to ask what's happening now :p
[18:51] <DanzCanada> I burned the ISO to a DVD, rebooted, then began the installation of Kubuntu...only issue is when the GUI is supposed to come up (following the progress bar at the beginning) so I can actually begin the installation, it's just a text-interface with a command prompt.
[18:52] <kaddi> did you by any chance install the server-version?
[18:52] <DanzCanada> Nope
[18:52] <gjulian> Try to start in the LiveCD, let it start and then click "Install"
[18:52] <kaddi> can you use that commandprompt?
[18:52] <DanzCanada> I don't have the LiveCD, only the ISO from the Kubuntu website.
[18:52] <DanzCanada> And no, I can't. haha  It's been forever since I've done Linux Administration and my command-line is very rusty
[18:53] <kaddi> DanzCanada: the question is more if it takes command or if it is only a blinking cursor
[18:53] <raster_ricardo> DanzCanada: are you sure you havent downloaded the minimal install?
[18:53] <gjulian> I think the ISO has the liveCD embedded
[18:53] <raster_ricardo> (saying minimal install sounds like Im talking about Gentoo...  <3 )
[18:54] <kavurt> DanzCanada, what's the full name of the ISO you downloaded?
[18:54] <DanzCanada> kubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[18:54] <oliveraarango> hi room...just like to inquire what antivirus is free for ubuntu server?
[18:54] <DanzCanada> Before you ask, yes I have AMD 64 X2 Dual Core processors
[18:54] <DanzCanada> xD
[18:55] <oliveraarango> anyone knows which antivirus is free for ubuntu server?
[18:55] <kaddi> DanzCanada: try entering "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" into the command line
[18:55] <raster_ricardo> oliveraarango: clam av, if Im not mistaken
[18:55] <gjulian> clamav
[18:55] <noaXess> i need jackd to run a special sound application.. how do i get it work... cause, if i start jackd with sudo /etc/init.d/jackd start, after that my sound won't work..
[18:55] <James147> DanzCanada: Try running the disk-check when you boot from the cd (sould be one of the options after the language select)
[18:56] <kavurt> DanzCanada, have you verified the md5sum?
[18:57] <DanzCanada> [kavurt] Wouldn't even know how.
[18:57] <gjulian> noaXess: instal qjackctl, a GUI for jackd. with qjackctl you can manage connections between sound devices
[18:58] <gjulian> DanzCanada: do you have the ISO saved in an accesible directory?
[18:58] <DanzCanada> [gjulian] I do indeed
[18:59] <gjulian> DanzCanada: Then read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[18:59] <DanzCanada> Okay, thanks. :)
[19:00] <kaddi>  it's a way to check, that the file you downloaded is intact, in order to make sure that your installation wasn't corrupted by a faulty iso
[19:02] <noaXess> gjulian: thanks.. which user should run the jackd server? me or root?
[19:03] <DanzCanada> [gjulian] md5 Hash is the same on both my iso and as accord to the website
[19:03] <gjulian> noaXess: I think it doesn't mattters... Personally, I run it as normal user
[19:03] <noaXess> gjulian: then start it over sudo /etc/init.d/jackd start ??
[19:04] <gjulian> noaXess: Only run qjackctl
[19:04] <noaXess> gjulian: ok.. wait..
[19:04] <gjulian> noaXess: It's a very intuitive GUI
[19:04] <kaddi> DanzCanada: when you boot from the DVD do you get a menu to select if you want to install, check your ram or boot from cd?
[19:05] <DanzCanada> Kaddi: Install without making changes to the computer, install kubuntu, and check boot disk
[19:05] <James147> DanzCanada: select check boot disk
[19:05] <James147> DanzCanada: and see if it passes
[19:05] <DanzCanada> james: will do
[19:05] <noaXess> gjulian: if i run qjackctl and then press start i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257636/
[19:05] <DanzCanada> I'll be back in a bit if it doesn't work
[19:07] <gjulian> noaXess: in qjackctl, click setup and disable realtime option
[19:08] <noaXess> gjulian: so. done.. not i seams to run.. but now.. i can run my sound app that need jackd?
[19:08] <gjulian> noaXess: Yes. You should see it in the Connections window...
[19:09] <noaXess> gjulian: my normal kubuntu sound, should it also work if jackd is running?
[19:09] <gjulian> noaXess: I think yes, but you'll need to do some changes... wait a moment
[19:10] <noaXess> gjulian: ok.. so.. now if i play any sound file, sound output doesn't work..
[19:10] <DanzCanada> Hey I'm back
[19:10] <noaXess> gjulian: should i start transport roling
[19:10] <noaXess> '
[19:10] <noaXess> ?
[19:11] <kaddi> DanzCanada: welcome back :)
[19:11] <kaddi> DanzCanada: the CD is fine?
[19:11] <gjulian> noaXess: I don't know what does that, it doesn't affect nothing, i think..
[19:11] <kaddi> *DVD
[19:12] <DanzCanada> I did the checking of the disk, it went into a progress bar, then came back to the command prompt.  "Loading, please wait...     BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-2ubuntu7) build-in shell (ash)   Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.    (initramfs)  _"
[19:12] <gjulian> noaXess: are you running KDE 4?
[19:12] <noaXess> gjulian: yes
[19:12] <DanzCanada> Same as if I were to attempt to install
[19:12] <James147> DanzCanada: I would try to reburn the image, looks like a crupt disk
[19:13] <DanzCanada> Okies
[19:13] <DanzCanada> This will be my 4th attempt. xD haha
[19:13] <James147> DanzCanada: I would advise doing it at a slow speed, less chance of it screwing up
[19:13] <raster_ricardo> DanzCanada: check the md5 before burning
[19:13] <raster_ricardo> and James147 is right. try a low speed. I always use 8
[19:13] <DanzCanada> raster_ricardo: Already checked md5, it's fine.  Last burn was done at 3.5x  haha  I'll download from a different location though
[19:14] <gjulian> noaXess: have a look at /usr/lib/xine/plugins/
[19:14] <kaddi> DanzCanada: what was the md5 you got?
[19:14] <James147> DanzCanada: I alwasys use the slowest for OS images that the software allows :)
[19:14] <noaXess> gjulian: yes..
[19:14] <DanzCanada> kaddi: Good question - it was in hex and I don't have it open right now, rebooting the computer
[19:14] <gjulian> noaXess: it contains a folder, what's its name?
[19:15] <kaddi> DanzCanada: did you check that the md5 of your ISO corresponds to the iso listed here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[19:15] <DanzCanada> it was 798b8789af2f13bb9687b2ce57f25f9c
[19:15] <raster_ricardo> talking about corrupted images, I just got a msg from K3b saying writen data differs from the original. and the md5sum of the iso is the same from the website.
[19:15] <DanzCanada> kaddi: Yeah, it's exactly the same
[19:15] <kaddi> ok, just wanted to make sure ;)
[19:15] <noaXess> gjulian: 1.26
[19:15] <DanzCanada> =)
[19:16] <gjulian> noaXess: uff... I don't know if this will work because of the version, but let's try
[19:16] <DanzCanada> Does anyone know of any free Windows XP programs which will burn an image?
[19:16] <James147> raster_ricardo: i dont trust k3bs image verifying thinngy, i have had disks fail it and still work, and disk pass and fail to work
[19:16] <gjulian> noaXess: download http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=52746&d=1197245735, unzip and copy the contents on the 1.26 folder
[19:16] <noaXess> gjulian: but now qjackctl is hanging...
[19:17] <jack007> iso burner
[19:17] <aaaa> how do i set firefox & pidgin interface fonts under kubuntu 9.04?
[19:17] <raster_ricardo> aaaa: what you mean?
[19:17] <noaXess> gjulian: can't kill qjackctl.bin
[19:17] <noaXess> :(
[19:17] <raster_ricardo> James147: hmmmmm... okay. before formating and burning I think Im gonna use virtual box to see if it works fine.
[19:17] <gjulian> noaXess: try doing it as root
[19:18] <noaXess> gjulian: and jackd is a zombie..
[19:18] <noaXess> done that.. no chance
[19:18] <jack007> wht
[19:18] <aaaa> raster_ricardo: i want turn firefox and pidgin font looks like kde's program.
[19:18] <jack007> ok
[19:18] <James147> raster_ricardo: i tend to find that the disk check on the cd works well
[19:18] <raster_ricardo> aaaa: I think there is an option somewhere where you configure the look and feel of gtk apps under KDE.
[19:18] <user1_> i have kubuntu 6.10 dgy. how can i upgrade it to the latest.(the option of uqgrade doesnot appear when i fetch updates in adept package manager)>
[19:19] <raster_ricardo> I cant say for sure cause Im on Debian right now. and using gnome
[19:19] <apparle> how to turn off the desktop effects by a single command
[19:19] <raster_ricardo> James147: thanks! =]
[19:19] <gjulian> noaXess: tried sudo killall jackd?
[19:19] <noaXess> gjulian: jep.. no chance.. also with sudo kill -9 PID
[19:20] <aaaa> raster_ricardo: i didn't find it yet.
[19:20] <jack007> can any one tell me diffrance between redhat & ubuntu
[19:21] <gjulian> noaXess: Well, as you cannot kill jackd, let it there, unzip the file and copy contents to 1.26 folder
[19:21] <gjulian> noaXess: then, reboot to kill jackd and to see if the hack has worked
[19:22] <njathan> guys i am trying to configure network in Kubuntu i just installed... however, the settings are not getting saved... :-(
[19:22] <njathan> i have done this on my Lenovo laptop
[19:22] <raster_ricardo> aaaa: Im not sure, but I guess in the administration panel, in the "look" section of kde, you will have something like gtk-qt or something like that.
[19:23] <noaXess> gjulian: ok.. rebooting..
[19:23] <njathan> earlier today i tried Debian, there too i was facin same issue.
[19:24] <DanzCanada> Oooohhhh I think I may have found my problem.
[19:24] <aaaa> raster_ricardo: thanks, i will search the keyword.
[19:24] <DanzCanada> I just installed Nero and it stated that I needed a CD R/RW for the image...I was using a DVD
[19:24] <DanzCanada> It refused to burn the image to a DVD but seems to be burning with a CD
[19:24] <James147> DanzCanada: shouldnet matter
[19:24] <DanzCanada> James147: I know, but computers hate me.
[19:24] <James147> DanzCanada: I have burnt cd images onto a dvd and they have worked
[19:24] <raster_ricardo> aaaa: if it is not gtk-qt is qt-gtk.
[19:25] <James147> DanzCanada: althoguih to get it to work I had to say i was burning a dvd image :S
[19:25] <DanzCanada> James147: Yeah, that's what I tried. haha  I still think it hates me.
[19:25] <user1_> where are the files that contain the server address to download programs and updates by package manager or apt?
[19:25] <James147> DanzCanada: may as well try a cd then
[19:25] <aaaa> raster_ricardo: i found it, it's gtk-qt-engine-kde4.
[19:26] <rav> hello. i'm using kubuntu jaunty, and my laptop is not restarting after 'suspend to ram'. is this a bub?
[19:26] <raster_ricardo> user1_:  /etc/apt/
[19:26] <gjulian> user1_: /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[19:26] <rav> bug*
[19:26] <njathan> what is the command to fire the network configuration tool, so that i can run it with root priviledges?
[19:26] <gjulian> njathan: If you are in KDE, it is (i think) knetworkmanager
[19:27] <njathan> gjulian: there seems to be no command like "knetworkmanager"
[19:28] <DanzCanada> Is it sad that I've gone through 5 DVDs and 1 CD and still trying to install Kubuntu with a good ISO? LOL!!
[19:29] <James147> DanzCanada: Yeah, Ib have always had more problems burning things on windows then useing k3b in lunux
[19:29] <noaXess> gjulian: back now..
[19:29] <raster_ricardo> DanzCanada: yes, it is. to burn isos on windows I used to use another software I cant remember its name. but it wasnt nero
[19:29] <noaXess> gjulian: test it now.. qjackctl is running.. and i klicked start.. no other button.
[19:29] <user1_> raster_ricardo:  gjulian what is the name of the lates kubuntu distro? may be i can toogle the name in sources.list with it at 'egdy'?
[19:29] <raster_ricardo> was one program full of tools for images and shit.
[19:29] <raster_ricardo> blid write suit, i thnk
[19:29] <raster_ricardo> *blind
[19:30] <raster_ricardo> user1_: you do aptitude upgrade
[19:30] <gjulian> user1_: If that repos are still available, I think you can do it. The lastest distro is Jaunty
[19:30] <noaXess> gjulian: what need i to do now.. cause no sound in kde..
[19:30] <DanzCanada> James147: omg it's working xD
[19:30] <raster_ricardo> then, you just leave http://repository.adress.somehere.net stable
[19:31] <raster_ricardo> or whatever you want.
[19:31] <James147> DanzCanada: :D
[19:31] <BluesKaj> user1_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions
[19:31] <gjulian> noaXess: go to system settings, multimedia
[19:31] <DanzCanada> James147: And I love how Ubuntu recognizes my city instead of Halifax. hahaha
[19:31] <DanzCanada> Moncton rocks!
[19:32] <noaXess> gjulian: aha. works..
[19:32] <gjulian> noaXess: all ok?
[19:33] <vahirua> hi all, is this the right place to ask for help for some problems with karmic alpha4?
[19:33] <kaddi> no :)
[19:33] <kaddi> please go to #ubuntu+1 for help
[19:33] <njathan> how do you guys configure network in Kubuntu?
[19:33] <vahirua> ok, thanks
[19:33] <James147> njathan: knetworkmanager
[19:34] <James147> njathan: what version of kde/kubuntu are you useing?
[19:34] <noaXess> gjulian: so.. need i put jack audio in top of multimedia settings?
[19:34] <njathan> James147: i am using the latest 9.04
[19:35] <James147> njathan: kde 4.2 or 4.3? and are use trying to use  wireless or wired?
[19:35] <gjulian> noaXess: Yes
[19:35] <raster_ricardo> be right back.
[19:35] <DanzCanada> Thanks for all the help everyone! I really appreciate it!
[19:35] <noaXess> gjulian: now can i run jackd as daemon?
[19:36] <njathan> James147: how do i see the version of KDE?
[19:37] <James147> njathan: in any program help > about kde
[19:37] <noaXess> gjulian: or use jack only if i need it? so the second mutlimedia device will be used if jackd isn't running?
[19:37] <James147> njathan: any kde program :)
[19:37] <njathan> James147: its KDE 4.2.2
[19:37] <James147> njathan: you trying to connect to wired or wireless?
[19:38] <gjulian> noaXess: well, I think KDE should automatically select the multimedia device, if Jack doesn't works, it should select the following device
[19:38] <njathan> well i tried both and failed miserably at both.... :-P Right now i want wired
[19:39] <kaddi> njathan: you could always uninstall networkmanager and install wicd instead, that solved most of my network-problems
[19:40] <raster_ricardo> njathan: alt + f2 > right konsole. type sudo ifconfig eth0 or just ifconfig -> paste the output in a pastebin site. people can help you. im gonna have a meal right now. he
[19:41] <noaXess> gjulian: yes.. it's like you explain..
[19:42] <njathan> raster_ricardo: well.. there's nothing to put in pastebin actually. The interface just does not get the IP at all
[19:44] <gjulian> noaXess: So, do you have all right and working?
[19:46] <James147> njathan: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-networking/148100-cable-wired-network-not-working-linux.html -  to connect to a wired network manually
[19:50] <kaddi> when I enter "trash:/" into alt-f2 I get "invalid address: trash:/" how do I fix that?
[19:53] <noaXess> gjulian: yes.. no i can use qtractor that needs jackd :) thanks a lot.
[19:54] <gjulian> noaXess: you're welcome. It makes feel good helping others
[19:56] <noaXess> gjulian: yes.. and it's really fast.. just about 1 or 2 hours and problem is solved.. :) so LINUX/KUBUNTU/UBUNTU/.... RULEZ :)
[19:57] <ubuntu_> i have just updated kernel but get black screen with red box inside when starting, how do i fix it?
[19:58] <gjulian> ubuntu_ what type of red box? does it says anything?
[19:59] <ubuntu_> no - just a red box about halve the size of screen ( i guees where logon info should be?)
[20:00] <gjulian> ubuntu_ press Ctrl+Alt+F1
[20:00] <gjulian> ubuntu_ and login with your user and password
[20:01] <ubuntu_> i tried recovery but that didn't start either\
[20:01] <ubuntu_> went to bash (?) [initramfs] prompt
[20:03] <dodecanese> press ctrl-alt-f13
[20:10] <kidblooper>                           kinda quiet in here
[20:18] <apparle> is there any way I can disable the desktop effects by some command etc?? directly??
[20:19] <kaddi> apparle: you can do so through systemsettings
[20:19] <heinkel_112> what is the _default_ movie player in kubuntu 9.04, by the way?
[20:19] <kaddi> heinkel_112: I think it's dragon
[20:19]  * heinkel_112 got too many installed and mostly uses kaffeine from kde3
[20:19]  * kaddi uses kaffeine as well :)
[20:19] <heinkel_112> dragon player?
[20:19] <kaddi> yes
[20:20] <xendon> mplayer or vlc is better i think
[20:20] <heinkel_112> that one does nothing exept from play :)
[20:20] <apparle> kaddi: what does Alt+Shift+F12 do ?
[20:20] <heinkel_112> apparle: switch compositing on and off?
[20:21] <apparle> heinkel_112: thanks I just wanted to confirm that
[20:21] <kaddi> apparle: you can check in systemsettings->keyboard->global shortcuts. Select "kwin" and look at the shortcuts set.
[20:22] <apparle> kaddi: ok
[20:24] <apparle> how can setup such that I am notified everytime I get a new gmail

[21:14] <FloodBotK1> LuisJa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:14] <LuisJa> is there a way to fix that?
[21:16] <LuisJa> hello????
[21:17] <njathan> i just installed apache in my Kubunu box. And i am trying to open phpmyadmn. However i am encountering the "Save As" Page. Is this because php pages are not enabled in Apache? I dont remember how to do that. Can someone help me?
[21:21] <it-39> hello all
[21:22] <it-39> ciao a tutti se c'e qualche italiano
[21:23] <genii> !it | it-39
[21:24] <genii> njathan: I recommend to ask in #httpd
[21:27] <cor> njathan, ensure you have the module installed, then it should just happen
[21:51] <raster_ricardo> LuisJa: cant you wait??
[21:52] <LuisJa> uhhhh????
[21:52] <LuisJa> did i say something raster_ricardo?
[21:54] <raster_ricardo> LuisJa: you said "is there a way to fix that?" and then "hello????" like if no one was paying attention. anyway...]
[21:54] <raster_ricardo> LuisJa: check if the partition where you installed the virtual disc is mounted
[21:54] <LuisJa> never mind, no one said nothing, solver problem
[21:54] <LuisJa> solved*
[21:55] <raster_ricardo> LuisJa: so, what was the problem?
[21:56] <LuisJa> hard disk has ISO already installed as a child
[21:56] <LuisJa> needed to delete iso MBs first so VD could be deleted
[21:56] <LuisJa> solver :)
[21:56] <raster_ricardo> :]
[21:56] <LuisJa> &%!@ i mean Solved*
[21:57] <raster_ricardo> where is njathan? i was going to say he need to  check if apache and php modules are running/installed.
[21:58] <cor> apache is, php, I asked this.
[21:59] <cor> didn't catch a reply
[22:03] <raster_ricardo> cor: php could be installed too, but not loaded. like forgetting to run a2enmodule or somethng. I don't remember if debian/n-buntu auto load the modules.
[22:04] <cor> of course. but first, is it installed?
[22:05] <cor> cuz not being installed is always a show-stopper
[22:05] <raster_ricardo> yep;
[22:07] <cor> I have a simple brain, so I tend to troubleshoot in steps, from the bottom, up. Usually works.
[22:08] <NJL> how I can install kdebase for 3.5.x with jaunty?  I already have kde4
[22:09] <DHGE> NJL: you cannot (maybe compile it yourself)
[22:09] <NJL> damn
[22:09] <NJL> ok
[22:09] <NJL> thanks
[22:09] <rysiek|pl> humm
[22:10] <rysiek|pl> there were some kde 3.5.x packages for jaunty
[22:10] <rysiek|pl> somewhere on some PPA
[22:10] <NJL> I installed kdevelop 3, because kdevelop4 is pretty beta right now, but I'm missing the kio stuff for kde3
[22:10] <rysiek|pl> NJL: search Launchpad or google for jaunty kde 3.5 remix
[22:10] <rysiek|pl> or something along those lines
[22:10] <NJL> ok, I think I found something
[22:10] <NJL> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty
[22:12]  * rysiek|pl 's going to get some sleep
[22:12] <rysiek|pl> g'night
[22:14] <NJL> for future reference: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3103125.msg177981#msg177981
[22:14] <NJL> that gives the sources
[22:23] <raster_ricardo> cor: it usually the best approach.
[22:26] <dodecanese> is kubuntu karmistic?
[22:27] <cor> unless it's networking, in which case.. Think like a packet of data.
[22:27] <cor> There is an alpha4 out
[22:27] <cor> KDE4.3 slides onto the Jaunty release without issue, though, if that's what you're after
[22:27] <Makuseru> I have an HP G60 laptop, and when it goes into suspend, I can't get it to return. How can I fix this?
[22:28] <cor> lotsa googling!
[22:28] <cor> check your system logs
[22:29] <Makuseru> It seems like a VERY common problem, I just couldn't find a fix for it while googling.
[22:30] <cor> I've came across lots of those kinds of issues when looking for other things, and while common, there rarely seems to be common solutions
[22:31] <cor> system logs are the best place to start, though.

[23:26] <xX> hey
[23:28] <Edgar_> what up
[23:42] <Refraxx> Hello. I have a problem with lag in my computer & was wondering how to get rid of it in a Linux platform. I am used to windows,so Linux is a bit new to me.
[23:43] <Refraxx> Technecally, it's Kubuntu, if that matters
[23:43] <Refraxx> It wasn't lagging this bad when I first got it.
[23:44] <Refraxx> Might it have something to do with multiple bookmarks?
[23:44] <Refraxx> please help.
[23:46] <Refraxx> Is anyone online?
[23:46] <noqs> Refraxx, you can run the top command from a terminal to list all the processes running and see if one is pegging the CPU
[23:47] <cor> what sort of lag?
[23:47] <Refraxx>  cor-- just real slow (takes forever to execute ONE action at a time)
[23:51] <kaddi_> is there an easy way to remove all settings for uninstalled packages?
[23:52] <kaddi_> the other day I removed all gnome packages, but forgot to add --purge. I ain't using gnome again and therefore won't need the settings, which is why I would like them to be removed
[23:54] <noqs> kaddi_, one place to look is the .gnome directories in your home directory
[23:55] <kaddi_> noqs: yes I was planning on removing .gnome and .gnome2, but I was hoping that there would be a more universal command for apt-get or a setting in packagekit/synaptics for it
[23:59] <cor> kaddi_ you can still purge even after removal
[23:59] <meway> hello
[23:59] <cor> synaptic does , at any rate
[23:59] <meway> can somone help me
[23:59] <meway> im a complete nube to ubuntu
[23:59] <cor> depends on what sort of help you need. you didn't say
[23:59] <kaddi_> cor: is that a universal command, or do I need to select all packages for it?
[23:59] <meway> i was told to come here
