[00:30] <mcsean> Hi all -- I have a quick install question. I do not have a DVD burner available to me right now but I do have a USB drive with 10.04LTS Desktop. Can I install that and then do a sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-server to install Edubuntu and the LTSP server pieces?
[00:53] <mcsean> Anyone there?
[01:44] <charlie-tca> mcsean: It looks right to me. You should be able to do that
[01:46] <mcsean> thanks, charlie-tca. the only thing that i'm not sure about is whether the ltsp setup scripts will be activated automatically after installing the edubuntu-server elements
[01:47] <charlie-tca> I don't know that one, myself.
[01:49] <mcsean> ok, thanks
[16:27] <troy> Hello!
[16:27] <troy> Can anyone recommend a version of edubuntu that will work with an older CPU, not requiring cmov in the processor?
[16:28] <troy> I'd like to get the most recent workable ver.
[16:37] <Laserbeak> hi there i'm following a tutorial to install ubuntu from the hdd with a .iso file.   I've set up grub( put the vmlinuz and initrd.gz in \boot\newinstall), but i get an error saying that it can't find the files needed to install. The tutorial i'm taking from the ubuntu website, never told me where to put the actual .iso image. where do i put it?
[16:50] <alkisg> Laserbeak: link to the tutorial?
[16:53] <Laserbeak> alkisg: it's on another comp lemme find it onthis one
[16:55] <Laserbeak> sorry forgot to mention that
[17:00] <Laserbeak> alkisg: i'm trying this
[17:00] <Laserbeak> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/i386/boot-drive-files.html
[17:00] <Laserbeak> which leads you to this https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/i386/ch05s01.html#boot-initrd
[17:00] <Laserbeak> i'm doing it for grub
[17:01] <Laserbeak> someone toldme to put the .iso file in the root of my hdd
[17:01] <Laserbeak> so i sudo thunar and put the .iso in root
[17:02] <Laserbeak> grub couldn't find it
[17:02] <Laserbeak> do i need to rename the .iso or something?
[17:02] <alkisg> Your purpose is to install edubuntu without burning a CD?
[17:02] <Laserbeak> yes
[17:02] <alkisg> Do you have 2 PCs on your local network?
[17:03] <Laserbeak> yes
[17:03] <alkisg> Can you install virtualbox or something in one of them?
[17:03] <Laserbeak> installed
[17:03] <alkisg> (in the one that you don't want to install edubuntu)
[17:03] <alkisg> OK, then you can use a simple script I wrote which makes netbooting automatic
[17:03] <alkisg> Let me get you the link...
[17:03] <Laserbeak> XD
[17:03] <alkisg> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot#line-77
[17:03] <alkisg> Boot the iso in the VM, put "bridged mode" for the ethernet, and just run the script
[17:04] <alkisg> Nothing more needed :)
[17:04]  * alkisg reads about the iso-based method...
[17:04] <Laserbeak> bridged mode?
[17:05] <alkisg> Yes in the virtualbox settings there are some modes for networking
[17:05] <alkisg> NAT, bridged, host only etc
[17:05] <alkisg> You need "bridged", for the VM to have an IP in the local network
[17:06] <Laserbeak> ah cool
[17:06] <Laserbeak> i'll copy it to the box with the vm and try it
[17:06] <Laserbeak> thanks
[17:06] <Laserbeak> i'll let you know what happens
[17:06] <alkisg> np
[17:08] <alkisg> Laserbeak: btw in the link you posted I don't see the .iso used anywhere, it speaks for a netinstall using a local kernel for the initial boot
[17:22] <Laserbeak> sheesh
[17:23] <Laserbeak> i dunno why i thought it was booting from an iso...
[18:20] <laserbk> hello
[18:20] <laserbk> it's me again


[07:28] <delt> Help, my "jack sink" virtual audio device disappeared :(
[07:34] <delt> ok, got it back... had to edit the pulseaudio config file to load modules.. wonder how it was working before, without those lines..??????
[07:36] <cfhowlett> delt magicjack?
[07:44] <delt> jackdbus
[07:46] <delt> what does magicjack even have to do with...bah nm :3
[07:46] <zequence> delt: pulseaudio was loading the module by default. But, it didn't create the sink and source unless it got a message from dbus, yes
[07:47] <zequence> I guess you are using jackd now instead?
[07:47] <zequence> the module works with jackd2, but not with jackd1
[08:35] <delt> ps xau | grep jack shows jackdbus
[08:36] <delt> trying to run jackdbus --version says: jackdbus should be auto-executed by D-Bus message bus daemon. \n If you want to run it manually anyway, specify "auto" as only parameter
[08:36] <zequence> delt: try using the tool jack_control instead
[08:36] <zequence> it's a python tool that sends commands via dbus to jackdbus
[08:37] <delt> replaces qjackctl?
[08:37] <delt> ah, nope..
[08:37] <zequence> no, it's a command line tool to control jackdbus. You still probably prefer some form of connections gui
[08:38] <delt> yeah... figuring out device ID's and using them command-line is a bit awkward
[08:38] <delt> so the "connect" box in qjackctl is very useful, yes
[08:39] <delt> but, ...is there a command-line equivalent to clicking "set as fallback" on a device in pavucontrol?
[08:39] <delt> so i can put it in my .xprofile or something, and not have to select it each time i boot / login
[08:40] <delt> ?
[08:40] <zequence> there's pactl
[08:40] <delt> ah, nice..seems like it can do exactly what i need
[08:42] <delt> [pts/11][user@phobos]:~$ pactl set-default-sink askldfjllaksdf
[08:42] <delt> Failure: No such entity
[08:42] <delt> same with jack instead of aksdlfjasdfja
[08:43] <zequence> what is aksdl..?
[08:43] <delt> ah, got it from "pactl list" ... the command i need is: pactl set-default-sink jack_out
[08:44] <delt> :) thanks for the info!
[08:44] <zequence> np
[08:46] <delt> oh, and this would probably help for recording too: pactl set-default-source jack_in
[08:52] <delt> why not make it the default in the distro, to have all this audio stuff already set up out-of-the-box?
[08:53] <delt> ie. jackd/jackdbus running, pulseaudio jack-sink module loaded, ...?
[08:55] <zequence> 14.04 will get an update later where this will be possible
[08:59] <delt> ah, awesome.
[09:00] <delt> question: is there a package that provides native VNC support to Xorg? As opposed to a program like x0vncserver that continually polls the frame buffer?
[09:02] <delt> i downloaded "tigerVNC" from sourceforge, but the source code won't build, and the binary linux package contains a module in the form of libvnc.la ...which X doesn't seem to be able to load
[19:45] <hansford> I am having problems with Guitarix......tried everything and cant get audio in or out
[20:15] <hansford> anyone here uses guitarix?  I having problems here
[20:21] <holstein> hansford: i have
[20:21] <holstein> hansford: do you have JACK running properly?
[20:21] <holstein> !proaudio
[20:24] <hansford> not sure.....
[20:24] <holstein> hansford: ok.. that will be step one
[20:25] <holstein> hansford: learn to use, and configure jack.. otherwise, guitarix wont work properly
[20:25] <holstein> jack will be running on your machine, and allowing you to route your guitar into and out of guitarix
[20:25] <holstein> if you have an internal audio device, you likely wont get low enough latency to use it for live effects processing
[20:26] <hansford> i have u-control uca222 as external audio device
[20:27] <holstein> guitarman in #opensourcemusicians has one of those
[20:27] <holstein> it'll do, but, it likely wont be low enough for effects processing of live signal
[20:28] <holstein> i would suggest unplugging the USB device, and learning jack with the internal device
[20:28] <holstein> *then* learn to run JACK on the USB device.. then move on the guitarix
[20:29] <hansford> ok....\
[21:27] <BobbyMac> question,  am I on crack if I want to use Studio w/ Unity?
[21:28] <BobbyMac> just updated to 14.04 studio from 13.10 Gnome
[21:29] <zequence> BobbyMac: You can use which ever DE you want
[21:29] <BobbyMac> yeah,  was looking to see if there were any religions or major bugs
[21:29] <BobbyMac> thx
[21:31] <BobbyMac> wow,  948 MB additional disk used
[22:48] <weedlight> Hi, I just installed ubuntustudio and wondering about broken links while compiling my application.
[22:49] <holstein> weedlight: ok.. let us know if you have a question
[22:50] <weedlight> Yes, I have a question. I can compile it with most common distributions except ubuntustudio
[22:51] <holstein> weedlight: it, being, your application.. and you created it, and can compile it on everything but ubuntu?
[22:51] <weedlight> it's a gtk application. do you have a automake howto
[22:52] <holstein> i dont, but ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. so, any documentation for ubuntu is relevant
[22:52] <weedlight> namely: debian, opensuse and fedora
[22:52] <weedlight> is there something special for ubuntu
[22:52] <holstein> anything debian should be relevant.. i would just get in the larger ubuntu community and see
[22:53] <weedlight> https://sourceforge.net/p/ags/code/HEAD/tree/
[22:53] <holstein> nothing about ubuntustudio is specifically breaking your application
[22:53] <weedlight> what's wrong with my configure.ac
[22:54] <holstein> i assure you i dont know, and i dont expect you to get that answer here.. though, in a larger ubuntu community channel or mailing list, or general linux channel, you may
[22:54] <weedlight> do you recommend a reboot for installation of gtk+-2.0
[22:54] <weedlight> I just reboot ... cu
[22:57] <weedlight> doesn't work
[22:58] <holstein> you might need to elaboarate in another channel
[22:58] <holstein> "doesnt work" is just a statement
[22:59] <weedlight> /home/joel/ags-code/./src/ags/X/ags_listing_editor.c:75: Nicht definierter Verweis auf `g_type_register_static'
[22:59] <weedlight> seems like problem with linker
[23:00] <weedlight> What channel would you recommend
[23:00] <holstein> weedlight: ?
[23:00] <holstein> weedlight: still the main ubuntu one
[23:00] <holstein> weedlight: and maybe a general linux one, or programming
[23:00] <holstein> weedlight: ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu,a nd is based on debian
[23:01] <holstein> anything for ubuntu will be relevant,a nd anything for debian should be able to be used
[23:01] <holstein> weedlight: when i say "anything for", im refering to information
[23:02] <weedlight> I didn't have problem with linker on other platforms
[23:02] <holstein> weedlight: i hear you, and this is just not the channel to address that
[23:02] <weedlight> ok, sorry
[23:02] <holstein> weedlight: no need to be sorry
[23:02] <holstein> im not kicking you out
[23:03] <weedlight> what are you talking about on this channel
[23:03] <holstein> im just saying, we dont talk about that here, and you will be sitting here, with just me for a *long* time
[23:03] <holstein> weedlight: ubuntustudio specificially
[23:03] <holstein> weedlight: setting up JACK, audio production.. video application questions.. etc
[23:04] <holstein> weedlight: your issue is the same for main ubuntu, so why limit the search?
[23:09] <weedlight> libtool was missing, thx
[23:09] <holstein> cheers..


[11:38] <andrew_> evening all
[12:21] <bepri> hi, I was wondering if anybody here has ever had an issue with the OEM USB-C charger not working on their laptop when in kubuntu? I own a third-party barrel jack charger that does work, and USB-C charges fine when in Windows or anything preceding kubuntu (ie BIOS, GRUB, powered down, etc.)
[12:27] <TGstars> hello my laptop is overheating can anyone help
[12:28] <TGstars> it started after i installed kubuntu on my machine. version 22.04.2LTS
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:18] <user|61> how easy is to install a kubuntu in a windows10?
[14:25]  * BayouGuru does not know.
[14:27] <BayouGuru> Have you searched "Installing Kubuntu to dual boot with Win10" and looked through those results?
[14:27] <BayouGuru> Shorten the search to "Kubuntu <version> dual boot Win 10"
[18:19] <mmikowski> user|61 I suggest using a completely separate nvme drive for a dual boot set up if you can afford maybe $50 for a good nvme; you can even install to a 32+ GB USB drive you just want to try it out. If you're interested in either, let me know and I can provide additional details.
[19:23] <riskkali> yoyo
[19:24] <riskkali> is anyone online
[19:24] <riskkali> hm i see
[19:24] <riskkali> alright bye everyone
[21:21] <Crell> Hi folks. Odd behavior. A while back... all my window borders disappeared.  Everything still works, but there is zero border around any window.  I've poked through the Settings app and don't see anything relevant.  What the heck happened, and how do I un-happen it?
[23:22] <user|97> I the last few days, Kubuntu 22.04 has not been usable on VMWare running on a  windows host.  I'm not sure if it is a Windows video thing, update from VMWare or something else. However, logging on to Ubuntu desktop, will work. This occurs on at lease 4 different computers running Kubuntu
[23:22] <user|97> VMs. Anyone have any ideas?
[23:28] <Guest36> Hello people! I have a question about packages. After Canonical's decision to remove flatpak support by default, if I install kubuntu 23.04, how is Firefox provided? ppa repository or snap?
[23:29] <oerheks> snap
[23:30] <Guest36> Oh... Thanks for the answer! so it's still sandboxed...

[00:25] <Windopain> i always see screenshots of rather unique desktop configurations... are there any decent sites w/ walkthroughs on how to setup non-default configurations?
[00:30] <daskreech> Windopain: Such as?
[00:30] <Windopain> just various looks/feels for the desktop
[00:30] <Windopain> don't have anything specific at the moment
[00:31] <Windopain> kinda an abstract question... guess it's either, "yeah, thissite.com" or "wtf are you talkinga bout" :)
[00:32] <[Relic]> daskreech, in the old version it would just be a normal file list or thumbnails, in the live cd I couldn't find any way of showing just a file list, it always had thumbnails in gwenview
[00:34] <daskreech> [Relic]: Far as I know it's just thumbnails. What would you want with a plain listing?
[00:35] <[Relic]> animations that at 24 frames a second will all look quite the same
[00:35] <daskreech> Windopain: I know what you are talking about about but it's a lot of variety out there
[00:36] <daskreech> [Relic]: There would be no animations with a plain listing :)
[00:36] <[Relic]> precisely I could just pick the frame to check that I needed rather than being distracted by the other 2400+ thumbnails
[00:37] <daskreech> [Relic]: Ah you have a whole set of photos that all look the same?
[00:38] <daskreech> So you know what you are looking for by name?
[00:38] <[Relic]> you can easily end up with a lot that look very similair, also seems like a waste of resources to thumbnail everything
[00:39] <daskreech> Thumbnails are shared in KDE so not that much of a waste
[00:39] <daskreech> Dolphin uses them etc
[00:41] <daskreech> [Relic]: So how do you identify them?
[00:44] <[Relic]> most are simply numerically sequenced however with the the thumbnails only not too many per page, was like 2x3 times on the normal list vs thumbnails.  Not sure I saw a way to reduce the thumbnail size either, but didn't really play with it much on the new live cd
[00:47] <daskreech> [Relic]: at the bottom right there is a slider to get the thumbnails larger or smaller at the bottom left there is a filter so you can filter out ranges or whatever
[00:55] <Windopain> why would gnome system monitor be running when i'm using kde?
[00:56] <daskreech> Cause you started it somehow?
[00:59] <Windopain> hmm.  sounds like something id do
[00:59] <[Relic]> one more reason not to allow gnomes into your computer  :)
[01:00] <daskreech> :-)
[01:00] <daskreech> Windopain: If you want you can make an activity then play with your desktop
[01:00] <[Relic]> which version of FF is current for kubuntu?
[01:01] <Windopain> damn, running two VMs simultaneously has brought my system to its knees ... if i find the job# of one can i kill it through a terminal and not affect the other?
[01:14] <daskreech> 3.5
[01:15] <daskreech> Windopain: yes
[01:45] <cjae> Hi, sorry to ask but I cant seem to get it, I deleted my kdewallet since I had forgotten the password to send and check mail, I do not want to have to store my pop password with kmail, how do I re-enable kwallet with kontact?
[01:45] <cjae> I created a new wallet "My Wallet" and set it in kde control module
[01:45] <cjae> still prompts for pop password
[01:45] <cjae> Installed: 4:4.3.4-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa2
[01:50] <meowbuntu> hi i have a vailed ubuntu os i am wanting to know if there is a kubuntu repo i can add
[02:05] <meowbuntu> hi i have a vailed ubuntu os i am wanting to know if there is a kubuntu repo i can add
[02:05] <Riddell> karmic testers for KDE SC 4.4 RC 2 needed
[02:06] <Riddell> meowbuntu: install kubuntu-desktop if you want kubuntu
[02:06] <meowbuntu> Riddell, are you sure kubuntu is already a fully tested os
[02:06] <meowbuntu> and stidio
[02:07] <meowbuntu> y need to test kde when kubuntu
[02:07] <Riddell> I don't know what you're talking about
[02:07] <meowbuntu> you said   <Riddell> karmic testers for KDE SC 4.4 RC 2 needed
[02:08] <meowbuntu> kubuntu has been finalised.
[02:09] <Riddell> because it's a new version of KDE
[02:10] <meowbuntu> o i c is that not for ubuntu 9.2
[02:10] <meowbuntu> 9.20
[02:10] <meowbuntu> the version after karmic
[02:13] <maco> there is no 9.20
[02:13] <maco> unless on your planet there are 20 months in a year
[02:13] <maco> :P
[02:13] <meowbuntu> maco the version after karmic as i said
[02:13] <maco> 10.04
[02:13] <meowbuntu> ok point
[02:13] <maco> and kde sc 4.4 is going into karmic-backports i assume...
[02:13] <maco> Riddell: right?
[02:14] <Riddell> beta PPA
[02:19] <meowbuntu> maco you the guy in #ubuntu
[02:19] <maco> i am in #ubuntu, but i am not a guy
[02:21] <meowbuntu> really then what are you a cat
[02:22] <maco> Riddell: last you saw me, what species and gender was i?
[02:22] <Riddell> a lovely lady
[02:23] <maco> thank you dear
[02:25] <maco> !away | meowbuntu-afk
[02:25] <maco> Riddell: wait wait but when its the final release, its going to stay in the beta ppa?
[02:26] <Riddell> maco: no then it'll go to updates
[02:51] <meowbuntu-afk> maco, i did not use any away message just changed my nick so ppl know i'm away
[02:51] <maco> meowbuntu-afk: that's what it's talking about
[02:51] <maco> the /nick shows a line in everyone channel
[02:51] <maco> whereas if you just /away, it marks you as away in the nick list on the client without spamming every channel
[02:54] <meowbuntu-afk> nope not exactly
[02:55] <meowbuntu-afk> a long away message would be like this
[02:55] <maco> it doesn't say "long" it says "noisy"
[02:55] <maco> noisy = we can see it
[02:55] <maco> just using /away marks you away silently
[02:56] <meowbuntu-afk> maco hope you saw that
[02:57] <meowbuntu-afk> either or alot of ppl use -afk if they are away. you are teh first person to mention this and i been using freenode for 6-8 months
[02:58] <maco> this is #*ubuntu* channel rules, not freenode server rules
[02:58] <maco> (* being a wildcard)
[03:21] <meowbuntu> hi sometimes on my computer firefox and google chrome wont let me play flashmedia. is there a browser that is real low on resources but can still let me view flash media??
[03:26] <werfact> meowbuntu: what do you mean sometimes
[03:28] <meowbuntu> does not matter. old comp
[03:28] <meowbuntu> just need a low resorce webbrowser that can still play flashmedia ok
[03:43] <Screamo_Smurf> Anyone know anything about speeding up Kubuntu by disabling stuff i dont need?
[03:46] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: there are so few extra things... are you finding it is slow?
[03:46] <happy> the first thing I would remove is compositing
[03:47] <Screamo_Smurf> happy im running a 800mhz 370mb pc :/
[03:47] <happy> in that case do not use KDE
[03:47] <maco> use xfce
[03:47] <maco> or maybe just lxde
[03:47] <happy> I would not suggest gnome on that either
[03:47] <Screamo_Smurf> lol
[03:47] <Screamo_Smurf> i dont like gnome or xfce :S
[03:48] <happy> I would go with maco's suggetiong
[03:48] <Screamo_Smurf> kde is fast enough for me
[03:48] <maco> oooh or enlightenment. i used e17 on my old pentium2
[03:48] <Screamo_Smurf> its actualy a little faster then gnome
[03:48] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: On machines that bad I use icewm :-P
[03:48] <Screamo_Smurf> well sadly im used to poorly performing pcs
[03:48] <Screamo_Smurf> this pc with kubuntu runs faster then my 1.7gh 1gb winxp pc
[03:49] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: I am used to cutting down on stuff until it makes "poorly performing pcs" look like multi million dollar super computers :-P
[03:49] <happy> lol
[03:50] <Screamo_Smurf> so how do i make it run a bit faster lol
[03:51] <happy> no idea :-P
[03:51] <Screamo_Smurf> :/
[03:51] <Screamo_Smurf> i opened system monitor and noticed there was alot of stuff running in the background...
[03:52] <Screamo_Smurf> theres no way i need all of it running
[03:52] <Screamo_Smurf> also i dont like how it like saves sessions :/
[03:58] <Screamo_Smurf> :////
[03:58] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: then disable it
[03:58] <Screamo_Smurf> where lol
[03:58] <Screamo_Smurf> ive onbly been using Kubuntu for 12 hours
[03:58] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: I do not play with most of the gui stuff :-P
[03:59] <happy> I will look
[03:59] <happy> but I know about as much as you about configuring kde. And I have been using it for years :-\
[03:59] <Screamo_Smurf> lol
[04:00] <happy> it is under system settings -> advanced -> session manager
[04:00] <Screamo_Smurf> i also have 2 hd's id like to be automagicly mounted at startup
[04:00]  * happy figures as long as he is here he should disable it himself
[04:01] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: the only way I know how to do that is with fstab. Have you used other linuxes before?
[04:01] <Screamo_Smurf> ubuntu for the past 22days lol
[04:01] <happy> lol
[04:01] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: why do you need it automatically mounted?
[04:01] <Screamo_Smurf> but i know more then most ppl would at this point
[04:02] <happy> :-)
[04:02] <Screamo_Smurf> becuz on is my ubuntu hdd and the other has all my music on it
[04:02] <Screamo_Smurf> i cant play music unless i mount it first
[04:02] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: why don't you run ubuntu and kubuntu on the same system?
[04:02] <Screamo_Smurf> dont like the clutter lol
[04:02] <happy> you can switch between them without restarting
[04:02] <happy> ok
[04:02] <Screamo_Smurf> why does everybody ask me that
[04:03] <happy> you should be able to mount it through dolphin
[04:03] <happy> but I have never actuall tried it... (I am new to the whole gui thing :-P)
[04:03] <Screamo_Smurf> i can mount it thru dolphin
[04:03] <Screamo_Smurf> but
[04:04] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: it should show up as a volume in dolphin
[04:04] <Screamo_Smurf> im lazy
[04:04] <happy> lol
[04:04] <Screamo_Smurf> i dont want to have to manualy mount it to listen to music
[04:04] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: all you need to do is the icon. Then you can browse your music :-P
[04:05] <Screamo_Smurf> yea but i want it AUTOMAGICLY done :/
[04:05] <happy> ok
[04:06] <happy> !fstab
[04:06] <happy> Screamo_Smurf: automounting partitions is still a config file thing
[05:42] <Roey> Hello
[05:43] <Roey> I can't hear sound all of a sudden, and mpg123 gives me errors:  http://pastebin.com/m4dfb857e  <-- sound doesn't play for me, not with mpg123 and not with amarok.  It says it cannot open hw1,0
[05:44] <Roey> I have noticed it since apt-get upgrading.  I upgraded these packages:  http://pastebin.com/m7a585a2b
[05:44] <Roey> hola de nuevo, ze
[05:44] <Roey> *zetheroo
[05:44] <zetheroo> Roey: howdy
[05:44] <zetheroo> :)
[05:44] <Roey> :>
[05:44] <Roey> I appreicate your dedication
[05:45] <zetheroo> haha
[05:45] <zetheroo> have you tried playing audio through FF?
[05:46] <Roey> So I tried it with Fx open and it still doens't play
[05:46] <zetheroo> and what about playing a Flash vid in FF?
[05:46] <zetheroo> any audio?
[05:46] <Roey> lemme check
[05:47] <Roey> zetheroo:  nope
[05:47] <Roey> just video
[05:47] <zetheroo> ok
[05:48] <Roey> yeah. I just have no idea.
[05:48] <zetheroo> very odd ... because it seems that most people have this issue but with FF and not with the other players
[05:49] <Roey> I did sudo fuser -v /snd/*
[05:49] <Roey> and got only kmix
[05:50] <zetheroo> I don't use Kubuntu so I am not sure how the audio options would work there ... but is there a place to change your audio output hardware device?
[05:52] <Roey> I don't thgink it makes a difference?
[05:53] <zetheroo> I was just wondering because it says it cannot open hw1,0 ....
[05:53] <Roey> ah
[05:53] <Roey> well I tried with other devices through amarok and got the same thing
[05:53] <Roey> I understand
[05:54] <crimsun> you need to use sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/seq*
[05:54] <zetheroo> I am also asking in #alsa for you ...
[05:54] <crimsun> no need, zetheroo; I'm reading here.
[05:54] <zetheroo> crimsun: are you from the #alsa camp? :)
[05:54] <zetheroo> ok .. cool
[05:59] <Roey> crimsun:  I've just been doing sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
[06:01] <Roey> crimsun:  /dev/dsp:            roey      24296 F.... python
[06:02] <Roey> crimsun:  oh, that was minirok
[06:02] <Roey> killed minirok, I can play mpg123
[06:04] <zetheroo> Roey: so what was the problem?
[06:04] <crimsun> Roey: on your system, anything that uses /dev/dsp will block native alsa apps
[06:05] <crimsun> Roey: i.e., because your sound card does not have hardware support for pcm multiopen
[06:06] <Roey> zetheroo:  ah, that minirok hogged something
[06:06] <Roey> guess it doesn't use alsa?
[06:07] <Roey> right
[06:07] <crimsun> it uses alsa's oss emulation, and your hw doesn't support multiopen
[06:07] <zetheroo> ok .. interesting .. good to know
[06:07] <Roey> ok
[06:07] <Roey> how do you know this?
[06:07] <zetheroo> Roey: he is damn clever :P
[06:07] <Roey> ;)
[06:07] <crimsun> it's black magick
[06:08] <Roey> :)

[11:25] <Neremor> hello!
[11:25] <Neremor> is there any free software to remote-control a windows 7 pc via kubuntu?
[11:26] <shadeslayer> Neremor: i dont think so
[11:26] <HoellP> Neremor: vnc?
[11:26] <HoellP> should work on any system
[11:27] <Neremor> ok, that sounds good. could you please tell me what i need to install on the windows and the kubuntu mashine?
[11:28] <HoellP> on kubuntu you just need to run "krdc" in internet section of the menu
[11:28] <HoellP> and install some kind of vnc server on windows
[11:28] <HoellP> i think tightvnc is one, but i no very little about windows
[11:28] <HoellP> and nothing about 7
[11:32] <noaXess> Neremor: http://www.tightvnc.com/download.php
[11:33] <noaXess> Neremor: in krdc then just connect to vnc://ip-of-vnc-server:5900
[11:33] <noaXess> 5900 is the dfault vnc server port..
[11:38] <pat|nG> i can't play cd audio

[12:45] <BlessJah> hi, i need /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop file, could someone pastebin it?
[12:46] <BlessJah> file can be named similar like kde4.ubuntu
[12:51] <HoellP> hmm
[12:51] <HoellP> pastebin.com messes up lots of the comments
[12:51] <BlessJah> HoellP: use anything u want, u can even query me
[13:01] <BlessJah> hi, i need /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop file from 9.04, could someone pastebin it?
[13:10] <pat|nG> i got an error stating cannot connect to a server using xchat coz it has virus? anyone? how come?
[13:18] <trakinas> Hi all! does anyone here work with mysql? I was reading a query and there is something I could not understand
[13:23] <DerHorst> trakinas: go further
[13:23] <invaderzim> Question/problem: In KDM, after choosing console login, I can't go back to kdm with exit/logout, unless I restart the KDM service. Is that normal?
[13:23] <invaderzim> running karmic
[13:25] <trakinas> DerHorst: there is this String Replace syntaxe, okay, no problem wth that. but at the end, after the difinition  of what will be replaced theres something that looks like an interval, which is what I did not understand.
[13:25] <trakinas> DerHorst: SUBSTRING(REPLACE(p.message, '<br>', '<br />'), 1, 65534)
[13:26] <trakinas> it will replace <br> with <br />, okay. fine. but what is the 1, 65534 bit? I tried to find something on MySQL manual, but there's nothing like that on the String operations part.
[13:27] <DerHorst> 1 = start, 65534 = length
[13:27] <DerHorst> Could that be?
[13:28] <trakinas> DerHorst: maybe. but lengh of the string?
[13:28] <smellynoser> Hi - khubd is hogging like a bishop and causing my load to go up to 600. How do I stop it from hogging or restart it?
[13:30] <DerHorst> trakinas: I gues substring returns the first Part of p.message
[13:30] <DerHorst> and the end of the first part is at sign 65534
[13:30] <DerHorst> So everything which would stand behind 65534 would be not part of the returnstring
[13:31] <trakinas> DerHorst: I think I got it now. Thanks.
[13:32] <DerHorst> =)
[13:37] <invaderzim> no one/
[13:37] <invaderzim> ?
[13:39] <trakinas> invaderzim: never tried that. I dont know how this loggin mode works, so I can't help.
[13:39] <invaderzim> thanks

[16:31] <shadeslayer> pat|nG: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=78831
[16:31] <shadeslayer> pat|nG: its a bit old ( 4.3.1 )
[16:31] <shadeslayer> mofux: i have a nvidia 8600 M GT,works fine
[16:31] <shadeslayer> !hardware | mofux : also see this
[16:32] <shadeslayer> mofux: nvidia is a preferred choice amongst users as they have better support
[16:32] <Malin_> shadeslayer: should kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental be run as root?
[16:33] <shadeslayer> Malin_: nope
[16:33] <Malin_> oki :)
[16:33] <mofux> shadeslayer: thank you, any prefered model among the nvidia cards?
[16:33] <shadeslayer> Malin_: it just refreshes system cache
[16:33] <Malin_> Think I forgot to uninstall the widget first.. trying again
[16:33] <mauri> my vlc is taking a lot of memory.... but i dont understand why, pleqase may you help me
[16:34] <shadeslayer> mofux: i heard the 8600 and 8800 had some issues,but the newer revisions sorted them out,but id still be wary of those 2 cards,rest all are fine i think
[16:34] <shadeslayer> mauri: happens with some of the apps here too,like nepomuk and konversation,itll die down eventually,it could also be vlc's cache
[16:34] <Malin_> I did: purge the widget, then I did run kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental and then I reinstalled the facebook widget. It complains about the scritpengine who failed....
[16:35] <shadeslayer> Malin_: can you paste a imagebin?
[16:35] <shadeslayer> s/imagebin/image
[16:35] <Malin_> how do I do that?
[16:36] <Malin_> is it an url?
[16:36] <mauri> shadeslayer: i've killed more than one time it
[16:36] <lorents> hi
[16:36] <shadeslayer> !imagebin | Malin_
[16:36] <mauri> shadeslayer: it start with 15B and grow....now it is 240MB
[16:37] <shadeslayer> mauri: it might be vlc's cache then
[16:37] <Malin_> ubottu: okey, thanx
[16:37] <shadeslayer> mauri: is it a beta version or something?
[16:37] <mauri> shadeslayer: the one on the repository
[16:37] <mauri> shadeslayer: karmic
[16:39] <shadeslayer> mauri: hmm... well the memory seems to be growing here too... probably just cache
[16:40] <Malin_> her the picture is: http://imagebin.org/81444
[16:41] <shadeslayer> Malin_: one sec
[16:41] <Malin_> okey :)
[16:41] <Malin_> hm.. I should have written: Her is the picture.. Think I have to start writing more English.....
[16:42] <tsimpson> Malin_: "here" not "her" ;)
[16:42] <Malin_> doh
[16:42] <Malin_> tsimpson: thanx
[16:42] <shadeslayer> Malin_: apparently i have the same problem :P
[16:43] <shadeslayer> Malin_: hold on
[16:43] <lorents> do you guys know why my root pasword in a grapical session works and in a terminal doesn't work?
[16:43] <Malin_> shadeslayer: what a coincidence hehe
[16:43] <tsimpson> lorents: did you set a root password?
[16:43] <lorents> i had this with solaris and  bsd, that's why i changed to kubuntu...
[16:43] <tsimpson> there is none by default
[16:43] <lorents> yeah
[16:44] <lorents> just standard called "root"
[16:44] <tsimpson> how/where are you trying to enter the password?
[16:44] <lorents> well i wanted to install vlc true a terminal session
[16:44] <lorents> and when it asked for priveledges it said there was no root accout
[16:45] <tsimpson> when what asked?
[16:45] <lorents> after i typed apt-get install vlc
[16:45] <tsimpson> as root, as your user, or with sudo?
[16:45] <shadeslayer> tsimpson: maybe if he types : passwd in a konsole?
[16:46] <lorents> with sudo
[16:46] <shadeslayer> lorents: without
[16:46] <tsimpson> sudo expects your password, not roots
[16:46] <lorents> ahh ok
[16:46] <tsimpson> that's kind of the whole point of sudo :)
[16:47] <lorents> and where do i give my own acc preveledges to do something like an install?
[16:47] <tsimpson> if you prefix a command with "sudo", it'll run as root
[16:47] <shadeslayer> Malin_: sorry cant get it to work
[16:47] <tsimpson> or "kdesudo" for GUIs
[16:47] <maco> lorents: first user account has that
[16:48] <Malin_> shadeslayer: ah..okey, maybe it is a bug?
[16:48] <maco> lorents: but /etc/sudoers is where thatd be configured
[16:48] <lorents> ah k thx maco
[16:48] <Malin_> shadeslayer: It works from a live-cd in a virtualbox, but maybe it has to do with kde4.2 vs 4.3?
[16:48] <shadeslayer> Malin_: maybe,but try : http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Facebook?content=106752 and http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Facebook+Fixed?content=115612
[16:48] <tsimpson> sudo is not the easiest thing in the word to configure
[16:48] <maco> tsimpson: there are examples in the file....
[16:48] <Malin_> shadeslayer: thanx. I will take a look
[16:48] <pat|nG> shadeslayer: just read the post.......but got a question does it works fine with my laptop with a built-in gfxcard?
[16:49] <tsimpson> maco: even so
[16:49] <shadeslayer> pat|nG: yeah i dont see why not
[16:49] <maco> tsimpson: well, and "always use visudo"
[16:49] <Malin_> shadeslayer: I tried that one in the first link, but can't it to work
[16:49] <pat|nG> i see
[16:49] <tsimpson> lorents: if you do edit /etc/sudoers, use the command "sudo visudo"
[16:49] <pat|nG> thanx bro
[16:49] <pat|nG> u're the best
[16:49] <shadeslayer> Malin_: ah,try the 2nd
[16:49] <pat|nG> hope u'll be online all the time here
[16:49] <shadeslayer> pat|nG: no problem
[16:49] <pat|nG> ahehehe
[16:49] <Malin_> shadeslayer: I will
[16:49] <shadeslayer> pat|nG: well i want to but cant :P
[16:49] <lorents> k thx tsimpson
[16:50] <trinity> i am not sure how to install nvidia driver. i mean after i type in 'sudo aptitute install nvidia...' and then tab - there are so many options popping out and i dont know what to choose exactly.
[16:51] <pat|nG> i got lots of thingy to be fixed and i'm still learnin kubuntu distro...first time in linux tho...but it's worth tryin.....
[16:52] <tsimpson> trinity: use the hardware drivers manager
[16:52] <tsimpson> in the application menu under "System"
[16:53] <trinity> will try now
[16:53] <Malin_> shadeslayer: http://pastebin.org/81049
[16:54] <Malin_> shadeslayer: same error as with the first link
[16:54] <Malin_> shadeslayer: I tried to manually install both, but It dosen't shows up in the add widget wizard
[16:56] <shadeslayer> Malin_: remove the 'plasmoid' filter
[16:56] <Malin_> ah
[16:56] <Malin_> where do I remove the filter?
[16:56] <mauri> shadeslayer: how can i empthy the cache
[16:56] <shadeslayer> Malin_: in the filter field... when you select : install plasmoid from file
[16:56] <francesco_> what is this?
[16:56] <Malin_> I feel poor for shadeslayer who has to answer so many questions...
[16:57] <Malin_> oki
[16:57] <shadeslayer> mauri: you cant
[16:57] <shadeslayer> Malin_: nah ive grown used to it,i used to ask so many questions thats how i learnt,ask all you want
[16:58] <Malin_> shadeslayer: I see.. hm.. can't figure out about the filter....
[16:58] <shadeslayer> Malin_: kde 4.3?
[16:58] <Malin_> hm.. or maybe I did
[16:58] <shadeslayer> hehe :D
[16:58] <Malin_> yeah it is kde.4.3
[16:58] <Malin_> shadeslayer: the filter when I try to install from file, and get the filebrowser-open dialog thing? :)
[16:58] <shadeslayer> when you have to find the plasmoid,just below filename theres a filter fieled,delete the filter word : plasmoid
[16:59] <shadeslayer> yeah
[16:59] <shadeslayer> *fiedl
[16:59] <shadeslayer> meh.. field
[17:03] <Malin_> shadeslayer: Its like it not installs....
[17:04] <trinity> the hardware manager says that my nvidia driver is enabled but is not in use, because it's proprietary and kubuntu cant fix it:< any other ways to install it?;/
[17:05] <Malin_> trinity: download the NVIDIA........run package for your card
[17:05] <trinity> cant:< silly chrome doesnt want to download it from nvidia.
[17:05] <Malin_> you can hit: shift + alt + f2 to get to a shell
[17:05] <Malin_> then do
[17:05] <trinity> i did that
[17:05] <Malin_> sudo service kdm stop
[17:06] <trinity> if you mean sudo command
[17:06] <trinity> what will that do?
[17:06] <Malin_> sudo chmod +x NVIDIApakcage.run
[17:06] <Malin_> sudo sh NVIDIApackage.run
[17:06] <Malin_> go through the setup
[17:06] <Malin_> then
[17:06] <Malin_> reboot or maybe just
[17:06] <Malin_> sudo service kdm start
[17:07] <Malin_> the sudo installs as root, you have to be root to install it
[17:07] <Malin_> trinity: Can't you download it from another browser? or just rightclck and save as
[17:07] <shadeslayer> trinity: do you want binary packages or the source?
[17:07] <Malin_> Don't think you will get a source of the NVIDIA pacagke, as it's not open source
[17:08] <shadeslayer> (hint : binaries are better since you can auto upgrade them)
[17:08] <trinity> sorry, what is the difference between them? im new to linux
[17:08] <trinity> aah;)
[17:08] <Malin_> awh....
[17:08] <Malin_> yeah. It's maybe better to install nvidia through the repo
[17:08] <shadeslayer> trinity: ok well then binary it is,easier to maintain for you till you get accquainted with stuff
[17:08] <Malin_> but if it's somehow not works....
[17:08] <shadeslayer> trinity: ok now,do you want bleeding edge or the stable ones?
[17:09] <shadeslayer> Malin_: i can make it work :P
[17:09] <Malin_> me too
[17:09] <shadeslayer> Malin_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[17:09] <Malin_> but It's not the latest drivers...
[17:09] <trinity> :) if you too make it work i ll hug you;)
[17:09] <trinity> two*
[17:09] <shadeslayer> trinity: well which driver do you want? bleeding edge or the stable ones?
[17:09] <trinity> i need smth at least... my screen is blurry with horrible resolution
[17:10] <shadeslayer> trinity: well choose one then :P
[17:10] <markus_> hy everybody
[17:10] <shadeslayer> markus_: hi
[17:10] <trinity> difference?:>
[17:10] <shadeslayer> trinity: bleeding edge drivers are better but not stable
[17:10] <markus_> my sound is only working sometimes and sometimes I get only knack sounds. could it be that pulse and alsa kill eachother?
[17:10] <trinity> i do need smth stable untill i become more or less cleverer;)
[17:10] <shadeslayer> can crash and other stuff,stable ones have lesser features but dont crash
[17:11] <Malin_> maybe trinity could tell wich card?
[17:11] <Malin_> and so one.. but hm...
[17:11] <trinity> sure, one sec
[17:11] <markus_> is it possible to remove pulseaudio completely?
[17:11] <Malin_> think so
[17:11] <trinity> NVIDIA, GeForce G102M
[17:11] <shadeslayer> trinity: ok press alt+F2 and type jockey-kde
[17:11] <Malin_> hm.. maybe give up that facebook-widget :(
[17:11] <shadeslayer> Malin_: yeah probably,i prefer kopete chat
[17:11] <shadeslayer> Malin_: oh i have a idea
[17:12] <Malin_> trinity: I hava G105M almost same card then ;)
[17:12] <trinity> ;)
[17:12] <shadeslayer> Malin_: install the web slice widget or similar web browser widget and point it to facebook
[17:12] <Malin_> shadeslayer: I do use pidgin, because the facebook-chat-plugin for kopete dosen't work for me
[17:12] <shadeslayer> Malin_: ah if you compile from sources it works :P
[17:12] <Malin_> shadeslayer: that's a workaround who can work :)
[17:12] <trinity> done that, hardware manager says that my driver is activated, but not in use ;/
[17:12] <Malin_> shadeslayer: really? how? :) I think I could give it a try
[17:13] <shadeslayer> trinity: did you reboot after it installed?
[17:13] <shadeslayer> Malin_: for kopete?
[17:13] <Malin_> for kopete yeah
[17:13] <trinity> err... i dont remember;/ was yesterday at 2am.. lemme do it now;)
[17:14] <shadeslayer> Malin_: ok do you want the constant flux git download or the point release?
[17:15] <shadeslayer> Malin_: point release is better if you cant update git regularly
[17:16] <BluesKaj> howdy folks
[17:16] <SamWeasley> Hello! Anyone here tried remaster Kubuntu with Remastersys? I need some tips
[17:16] <trinity> wheee! thank you thank you thank you!;) now it works... just needed to restart;) and my wobbly windows work again!
[17:16] <shadeslayer> trinity: wobbly windows are fun :P
[17:17] <shadeslayer> BluesKaj: oh hey
[17:17] <SamWeasley> And also I need some helps with KDE Effects and a Intel video board
[17:17] <trinity> oh no>< i removed tasks or smth from the task menu;/ how do i get it back?:/
[17:17] <trinity> and yes they are indeed;)
[17:17] <shadeslayer> trinity: add the taskbar widget to the taskbar
[17:18] <shadeslayer> Malin_: whatcha thinkin?
[17:19] <Malin_> shadeslayer: Don't know if I understod what exactely you mean
[17:19] <Malin_> maybe a point relase then? :)
[17:19] <shadeslayer> Malin_: well do you know what git is?
[17:19] <Malin_> yeah
[17:19] <shadeslayer> Malin_: ok here : http://github.com/dmacvicar/kopete-facebook/downloads
[17:19] <Malin_> it's something like wget or something I guess
[17:19] <trinity> ok added, but they are kind of switched places with System Tray;/
[17:20] <shadeslayer> Malin_: yeah kinda.. its a revision control system
[17:20] <Malin_> hm.. maybe it's not, but hm.. I have know the name
[17:20] <Malin_> oki
[17:20] <shadeslayer> trinity: click on the cashew in the bar and then drag the task manager
[17:20] <trinity> 0_o
[17:21] <shadeslayer> trinity: theres a cashew on the extreme right of the taskbar
[17:21] <shadeslayer> Malin_: after you download it, untar it somewhere and then make a folder called build,cd to that folder using a terminal and then ill give you further instructions
[17:22] <Malin_> okey
[17:22] <shadeslayer> Malin_: build folder is in the folder you untarred
[17:22] <Malin_> I'll make that folder inside the untared folder?
[17:22] <shadeslayer> Malin_: yes,something like : kopete-facebook/build/
[17:22] <Malin_> awh. yeah
[17:22] <Malin_> you just said so
[17:22] <Malin_> mhm
[17:23] <shadeslayer> Malin_: done?
[17:23] <Malin_> jupp done
[17:23] <shadeslayer> Malin_: ok now : sudo apt-get install build-essential
[17:24] <Malin_> it's the newest version ;)
[17:24] <Malin_> so well.. done somehow
[17:25] <Malin_> do I have to run make?
[17:25] <Malin_> or cmake?
[17:25] <shadeslayer> Malin_: oh wait add  libkopete-dev and libqjson-dev to that
[17:25] <Malin_> okey thanx
[17:25] <shadeslayer> Malin_: done installing those two?
[17:25] <Malin_> not yet
[17:25] <Malin_> it installes
[17:26] <Malin_> or installs or however it is spelled... hm
[17:26] <Malin_> done
[17:26] <trinity> oh i ve just deleted the taskbar at all, barely found how to return it back... thankfully it's easier than on windows
[17:26] <shadeslayer> Malin_: ok now run these one by one : http://pastebin.com/f34a3490
[17:26] <Malin_> trinity:  I know how to fix it in gnome, but maybe it's something like that in kde too?
[17:26] <shadeslayer> trinity: yeah its a bit confusing for new comers.. understanding the concept of widgets in the taskbar
[17:26] <Malin_> Somoen who knows?
[17:27] <Malin_> hm.. is the ; something you added for some reason?
[17:27] <shadeslayer> Malin_: thats my personal buildscript i use that i just posted :P
[17:27] <Malin_> a :)
[17:28] <shadeslayer> Malin_: its called buildthis.sh and i just cd to the build folder and run buildhis.sh :P
[17:28] <Malin_> hm.. a lot easier :p
[17:28] <shadeslayer> Malin_: yeah :)
[17:28] <Malin_> hehe
[17:28] <Malin_> bash-script
[17:29] <shadeslayer> Malin_: yep :)
[17:29] <Malin_> :D
[17:29] <trinity> yay!
[17:29] <Malin_> so the ; is for doing thing in " a chain" somehow? :)
[17:29] <shadeslayer> Malin_: quickly now i have to get to work on some kde webby stuff :P
[17:29] <Malin_> like? :)
[17:29] <shadeslayer> Malin_: yeah you can run the commands one by one like : sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:30] <shadeslayer> Malin_: wanna help?
[17:30] <Malin_> almost finished
[17:30] <trinity> and the last question: do you know how to 'shrink' the task manager window icons, so that they were squares instead of rectangles. ive seen it on someone's computer, but i dont know the name of that app
[17:30] <Malin_> the same as writing: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade?
[17:30] <shadeslayer> trinity: ah smooth tasks
[17:30] <Malin_> shadeslayer: I would like to help, but what should I do? :)
[17:30] <shadeslayer> Malin_: one and the same
[17:31] <shadeslayer> Malin_: its *very* simple
[17:31] <shadeslayer> Malin_: http://community.kde.org/Scratchpad/www-rework
[17:31] <trinity> :O plasma workspace crashed when i dragged smooth tasks;/
[17:31] <Malin_> shadeslayer: I will take a look :)
[17:31] <shadeslayer> trinity: 4.3 ?
[17:32] <trinity> 4.3 what?:>
[17:32] <shadeslayer> trinity: kde 4.3?
[17:32] <shadeslayer> Malin_: did it compile?
[17:32] <Malin_> shadeslayer: yeah
[17:32] <shadeslayer> Malin_: installed?
[17:32] <trinity> ;/ how do i check it? *blush*
[17:32] <Malin_> shadeslayer: yeah, its istalled
[17:32] <Malin_> installed
[17:33] <shadeslayer> trinity: oh open any app and check the help > About KDE
[17:33] <trinity> KDE - Be Free!
[17:33] <trinity> Platform Version 4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1))
[17:33] <Malin_> is it common to get errors when running: kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental ?
[17:33] <shadeslayer> Malin_: cool,it disconnects now and then here... maybe because i have the git version
[17:33] <shadeslayer> Malin_: yeah
[17:33] <Malin_> trinity: kde4.4 is not finished, and could then be very buggy
[17:34] <Malin_> shadeslayer:  should I just run kopete to check?
[17:34] <shadeslayer> Malin_: that step is not required.... i just added it since some apps needed it
[17:34] <shadeslayer> Malin_: sure go ahead
[17:34] <trinity> oki. that means i ll jst have to bare the rectangular task manager windows?
[17:34] <trinity> untill a better version
[17:35] <shadeslayer> trinity: hmm thats a known problem,i had to compile smooth-tasks to solve that
[17:35] <trinity> how?
[17:35] <shadeslayer> trinity: theres a PPA with the latest packages... dont need to compile
[17:36] <Malin_> something I miss with kopete and pidgin is webcam support for wlm-sessions
[17:36] <markus_> For sound the backend xine is selected in kubuntu. what other options exist?
[17:36] <shadeslayer> trinity: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Smooth+Tasks?content=101586 << read carefully
[17:36] <shadeslayer> Malin_: phonon-gstreamer
[17:36] <Malin_> oh.. I got an inncomming messege in kopete from facebookchatt omg... :D
[17:36] <shadeslayer> Malin_: :D
[17:36] <trinity> another facebook-dependant;)
[17:39] <Malin_> shadeslayer: Works like a sharm... sadly those new versions is not in the repos yet :(
[17:39] <Malin_> is there a irc-plugin as well? and how good is it?
[17:39] <Malin_> anyway
[17:40] <Malin_> I will take a closer look at the site you linked to
[17:41] <markus_> Now I installed phonon-gstreamer. But I do not get any sound with it. Damn.. Sound is really badly implemented in kubuntu :-(
[17:42] <trinity> what does 'yum' do?
[17:43] <markus_> Systemsettings say I have: HDE Intel (CONEXANT Analog) is that the problem? What does it mean?
[17:49] <trinity> 1
[17:49] <Brhad56> 2
[17:50] <kamola> http://imagebin.org/81459
[17:58] <xorred> I have / on disk1 and /home on disk2, how do I move / on disk 2 too?
[17:59] <xorred> I guess a new folder - home - must be created there and /home/content must be moved to /home/, then copy all  from / to disk2 and then run grub?
[18:07] <xorred> does kubuntu i386 support 4+ GB of ram?
[18:07] <xorred> previously I had to download the x64 bit version
[18:08] <Malin_> looks like kwin use some cpu
[18:09] <Malin_> always over 20%
[18:09] <Tm_T> Malin_: you use some effects?
[18:09] <xorred> can I use 6GB of ram with the default i386 release of 9.10?
[18:09] <Malin_> it might be the reason... so I should try to disable some
[18:09] <xorred> 9.04 only saw 4
[18:10] <Malin_> xorred: not without building the kernel for support higher than 4GB
[18:10] <Malin_> it's possible to do so
[18:10] <Tm_T> no need to build, just to install
[18:10] <xorred> so I need to download the x64 bit iso
[18:10] <xorred> install?
[18:10] <xorred> what should I apt-get
[18:10] <Malin_> Tm_T: I spoke to xorred
[18:10] <ikonia> bes option to do it
[18:10] <Malin_> or spoked
[18:11] <Tm_T> Malin_: me too (:
[18:11] <xorred> I used to install the server kernel with all problems after that
[18:11] <xorred> so .. pae kernel
[18:11] <Malin_> if you have a 64-bit cpu it's better to install the 64-bit version of the os
[18:11] <Malin_> Tm_T: ah.. my bad... sorry
[18:11] <xorred> core 2 duo
[18:12] <xorred>  apt-cache search pae
[18:12] <xorred> xen-hypervisor-3.3 - The Xen Hypervisor for i386 and amd64.
[18:12] <Malin_> yeah, then you better go for 64-bit os ;)
[18:12] <xorred> only package it finds
[18:12] <xorred> kk
[18:13] <xorred> well.... I upgraded several times, and the system is ...
[18:13] <xorred> I'd like to just reinstall
[18:13] <xorred> alsa broke on every upgrade
[18:13] <xorred> and now only pulse is available
[18:13] <xorred> is pulse the default in new releases?
[18:13] <xorred> pulseaudio

[18:26] <pulaski> Hi, can anyone suggest a channel where I can ask questions about the openoffice writer application in kubuntu 9.10?
[18:30] <Bizzeh> hi, does kubuntu recognise windows7 when you attempt to dual boot and set it up to be a bootable OS in grub?
[18:30] <PorbsK> can anyone show the icon that confirmes  "network connected" bcoz everytime I start Kubuntu 9.10 i see only network card icon with cable pulled out
[18:31] <PorbsK> how does the LAN connected icon looks like

[19:19] <Malin_> maybe not all......
[19:45] <PeterFA> I've got considerable reason to believe that the KDE composite layer is pretty buggy. It often captures the mouse in some mysterious way that makes it impossible to click on most things but allows you to click on certain things on the taskbar, but also the KDE menu cannot be click on.
[19:46] <PeterFA> Plus I have random freezes.
[19:46] <PeterFA> I disable the composites and suddenly everything is working without a problem.
[19:46] <PeterFA> It's back to that usual Linux solidness of which I've grown so fond.
[19:46] <PeterFA> Is there a workaround to get the composites without the bugs?
[19:47] <PeterFA> What is -r?
[19:47] <mplabs> Hello !
[19:48] <mplabs> I want to create again the list of available sessions, can I do that ?
[19:48] <mplabs> right now I have "default", "xfce" and "failsafe", where is KDE ? :S
[19:48] <tsimpson> PeterFA: see http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[19:49] <PeterFA> tsimpson, thanks.
[19:49] <PeterFA> Guys, if you want a thrill, take anti-candida and drink a lot of coffee.
[19:49] <PeterFA> The anti-candida makes you very sensitive to coffee.
[19:51] <PeterFA> The thing is you feel happy and crap for no reason without feeling bad in any way.
[19:51] <PeterFA> When I first took this anti-candida, my mouth started to go numb. :p
[19:53] <pat|nG> got to go guys
[19:53] <Tm_T> !ot | PeterFA
[19:53] <pat|nG> thanx for the help
[19:53] <pat|nG> bye
[19:53] <mplabs> well, I can't enter to my KDE session
[19:53] <mplabs> because it's not in my available list
[19:53] <mplabs> what can I do ?
[19:56] <Tm_T> mplabs: reinstall kdebase-workspace-data
[19:56] <mplabs> reinstalling
[20:01] <Guest66405> doesn't work
[20:01] <Guest66405> :|
[20:01] <Guest66405> I'm still in xfce
[20:02] <Tm_T> hmm, interesting
[20:02] <Guest66405> can I force KDE by startx or similar in the command line ?
[20:02] <Tm_T> startkde
[20:02] <Guest66405> I mean.. like startxfce4
[20:03] <Guest66405> ok
[20:03] <Tm_T> Guest66405: but, you still don't have /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop ?
[20:04] <Guest66405> yep, I have
[20:04] <Tm_T> then it should be there, try reboot just for giggles
[20:04] <Guest66405> haha, it will be my 30+ reboot today
[20:05] <Guest66405> :P
[20:05] <Tm_T> if you have that file, it should appear into session menu
[20:05] <Guest66405> rebooting...
[20:11] <joh6nn1> i'm having some serious slowdown with my wireless connection, compared to the speeds that i had in both Hardy and Jaunty
[20:11] <joh6nn1> i've tried disabling ipv6, but that doesn't seem to have made any noticeable difference
[20:15] <mplabs> Thank you !
[20:15] <mplabs> It works now :)
[20:15] <Tm_T> mplabs: brilliant (:
[20:15] <mplabs> by the way.. it was because of kdebase-workspace-bin
[20:15] <Tm_T> ah
[20:16] <mplabs> I just reinstalled it
[20:17] <mplabs> That's all. thank you again
[20:17] <titan_ark> could anyone suggest a voice recording tool
[20:17] <titan_ark> i need a basic one
[20:17] <titan_ark> trying to configure my microphone
[20:17] <titan_ark> :(
[20:19] <joh6nn> titan_ark: i'm fond of audacity
[20:19] <joh6nn> it goes beyond basic, but it's fairly straightforward
[20:20] <titan_ark> joh6nn: okay :) have used it before.
[20:20] <titan_ark> shall try it
[20:20] <titan_ark> i just cant get to get my mic to work
[20:20] <titan_ark> no matter what i try with alsa
[20:20] <joh6nn> sure it's not something with the mic?
[20:20] <titan_ark> or prolly i am not doing it right
[20:20] <titan_ark> nah the mic works
[20:20] <joh6nn> works on another box, etc?
[20:21] <titan_ark> same box on windows boot
[20:21] <titan_ark> works perfectly
[20:21] <joh6nn> ok
[20:21] <joh6nn> have you checked to make sure the mic's not muted in the alsa-mixer?
[20:21] <titan_ark> i had set it right once before with a wubi install, cant seem to remember how i did it then
[20:21] <titan_ark> the alsa mixer i installed seems very basic
[20:21] <titan_ark> no options at all
[20:22] <titan_ark> unless i try it in command
[20:22] <raindog> Has windows grouping been removed from the latest kde 4.4 release?
[20:22] <joh6nn> i'm familiar with it almost exclusively as a command line tool; didn't even realize it came with a gui
[20:22] <Tm_T> raindog: no
[20:23] <raindog> Tm_T: Hmm, can't find it.
[20:23] <titan_ark> joh6nn: ah
[20:23] <titan_ark> could i post a screenshot and if you could tell me if its configured right?
[20:24] <Tm_T> raindog: which windeco? it's not supported in all of them
[20:24] <joh6nn> sure.
[20:24] <joh6nn> don't confuse that for me knowing what i'm talking about, though :)
[20:24] <raindog> Tm_T: Ah, using bespin.  I'll switch and check it out.  Thanks for the info.
[20:24] <Tm_T> raindog: it doesn't support it, I'm 99 % sure (:
[20:25] <raindog> Tm_T: That was it.  Thank you.
[20:25] <Tm_T> np
[20:25] <raindog> 4.4rc2 seems rather snappy to me.  Excellent work.
[20:26] <titan_ark> joh6nn: :) http://imagebin.ca/view/0r3Yzkfc.html
[20:26] <titan_ark> and this too http://imagebin.ca/view/E8KqCA0.html
[20:27] <chimp-champ> In Kubuntu 9.10 I don't have a system tray for updates any longer - is that a bug?
[20:27] <Tm_T> chimp-champ: it shows only when there's updates, do you mean it doesn't show up even when there is?
[20:28] <soee> anyone who is using panel at the top of the screen?
[20:28] <Tm_T> yes?
[20:29] <soee> Tm_T: u do?
[20:29] <titan_ark> joh6nn: you still with me?
[20:29] <Tm_T> !anyone | soee (:)
[20:29] <joh6nn> titan_ark: yeah, thinking
[20:30] <titan_ark> joh6nn: okay thx :)
[20:30] <joh6nn> it's not immediately obvious to me whether those are muted or not; i only ever mess with alsa-mixer when my sound isn't working
[20:30] <joh6nn> then i forget about it and put it back on the shelf
[20:30] <titan_ark> :D same here
[20:30] <titan_ark> i had set the damnt hing a few weeks back
[20:30] <titan_ark> in wubi
[20:30] <titan_ark> now did a dual boot and :P
[20:31] <ideasi> Is this the right place to ask tech questions?  I'm pretty new to this whole linux thing and I'm a bit lost trying to make something work.
[20:32] <Tm_T> ideasi: yes (:
[20:33] <chimp-champ> Tm_T: I mean it in this way: Yesterday I looked in the systemsettings at "install and remove software" and found some corrections of bugs, they are called Updates :P . But in the system bar in my control panel there was no gear with the green arrow (like in 9.04) which showed updates.
[20:33] <ideasi> Okay, neat.  Well, I'm trying to get ninjavideo.com to work. .It's a divx video website.  I've tried installing mplayer, vlc, and totem (all with mozilla plugins of course,) but for some reason none of them seem to work.  I've spent the past 3 hours on google, trying out all the solutions there after searching for simply "ninjavideo kubuntu," but I'm sitll not having any luck.
[20:34] <titan_ark> joh6nn: i vaguely remember i needed to do something with the sound card INTEL hda ... and check for the port
[20:34] <titan_ark> nothing beyond that
[20:36] <Tm_T> chimp-champ: hmm, perhaps you don't have it installed, sorry don't know much of it as I remove those things when I see 'em
[20:37] <chimp-champ> Tm_T: It was standard in 9.04.
[20:38] <chimp-champ> And a have ticked all options which are about displaying notifications.
[20:38] <chimp-champ> Its a general problem for me since upgrading to 9.10.
[20:39] <Tm_T> chimp-champ: see if you have update-notifier-kde installed
[20:40] <chimp-champ> Yes, it is.
[20:40] <joh6nn> titan_ark: yeah, i'm stumped, other than to check and make sure the mic's not muted
[20:40] <titan_ark> joh6nn: okay. how do i check that?
[20:41] <joh6nn> if you tab over to the mic controls in alsa mixer, i think you can toggle mute with 'M'
[20:42] <titan_ark> does it indicate anywhere if it is muted?
[20:42] <titan_ark> cos when i press M nothing changes
[20:45] <TheGentleman> hello. I have already installed Kubuntu Karmic on 2 PC without problems. Now I have huge problems with a third one (follows)
[20:46] <joh6nn> titan_ark: yeah, it should say MM in the volume thing if it's muted.  but i'm not sure what to make of the lack of a volume indicator for the mic settings
[20:46] <titan_ark> joh6nn: ah yes, i see that option is only for the speaker output
[20:46] <titan_ark> its not there for the mic :P
[20:47] <TheGentleman> installation went smoothly and everything seemed to work fine. then I added the nvidia drivers from the Hardware Drivers menu and rebooted after completion (follows)
[20:48] <shadowhywind> hay all I'm trying to set up a openswan vpn (l2tp/ipsec) and I keep getting a but no connection has been authorized with policy=PSK error anyone have any ideas?
[20:48] <TheGentleman> at reboot the system can't start X !
[20:49] <TheGentleman> logged in from command line and tried startx gives a huge list of error messages
[20:49] <ripcord> titan_ark: hit your TAB key
[20:49] <titan_ark> ripcord: to get to capture?
[20:50] <ripcord> sorry, tab in alsamixer shows additional meters if they are available
[20:50] <TheGentleman> could i remove anythingt to have it again without nvidia drivers ?
[20:51] <titan_ark> ripcord: it just changes to capture or playback options on pressing tab
[20:51] <titan_ark> http://imagebin.ca/view/0r3Yzkfc.html
[20:51] <titan_ark> is my capture settings
[20:51] <ripcord> titan_ark: ah, ok
[20:51] <joh6nn> i'm having some serious slowdown with my wireless connection, compared to the speeds that i had in both Hardy and Jaunty.  I've tried disabling ipv6 and a few other things, but nothing seems to help
[20:52] <ripcord> titan_ark: I had major problems with alsa and my HDA Intel soundcard. Never could find a solution.
[20:53] <titan_ark> ripcord: hmm. i was able to configure it when i did a wubi install, cant seem to remember how i did it then
[20:53] <TheGentleman> How can i remove or disable nvidia drivers (installed from Hardware Drivers menu)? Something went wrong and K Karmic can't start X now!
[20:53] <titan_ark> i had to check for some port of the card and also the alsa GUI was more elaborate than the one i have installed now.
[20:53] <titan_ark> ripcord: cant figure it out
[20:54] <robin0800> titan_ark: if your feeling brave you could always try pulse audio
[20:54] <titan_ark> robin0800: :D
[20:54] <titan_ark> i am hoping i could set it right easily like the previous tim
[20:55] <ripcord> TheGentleman: the NVidia drivers should show up in synaptic if you search for them. Then you can uninstall them
[20:55] <titan_ark> when i tried gnome - Ubuntu the setup was so darn simple!
[20:55] <ripcord> or even in KPackageKit
[20:55] <TheGentleman> ripcor, I said that X doesn't start!!!  how can I run synaptic then?
[20:56] <ripcord> ah, if you remeber the driver name you can uninstall it with apt-get
[20:56] <robin0800> titan_ark: kde dosen't install pulse audio server by default gnome does
[20:56] <titan_ark> robin0800: hmm, so how do i go about doing it? am quite a noob
[20:57] <titan_ark> would appreciate it if you could help
[20:57] <TheGentleman> ripcord: yes, i know i can use apt-get, what i need to know is the driver name!
[20:57] <joh6nn> TheGentleman: try dpkg --get-selections *nvidia*
[20:57] <joh6nn> that should give you a list of everything installed with nvidia in the name
[20:57] <robin0800> titan_ark: sudo aptitude install pulseaudio
[20:58] <TheGentleman> thanks joh6nn
[20:58] <joh6nn> :)
[20:58] <titan_ark> robin0800: i guess i alreaady did that last night.
[20:58] <titan_ark> robin0800: says its installed to latest version
[20:59] <titan_ark> but i cant find the application when i search for it
[20:59] <robin0800> titan_ark: now install the pulse audio volme control
[21:00] <titan_ark> what is the packagename exactly?
[21:02] <TheGentleman> joh6nn, you suggest to remove or purge nvidia drivers ( i really dunno) ?
[21:02] <joh6nn> TheGentleman: remove will leave all their configuration information behind.  purge gets rid of everything
[21:03] <joh6nn> seeing as how the configuration they've got is obviously not working, i think purge might be best here
[21:03] <robin0800> titan_ark:  pavucontrol think
[21:03] <TheGentleman> that's what i thought too joh6nn, but it's good to hear it from someone more expert than myself!  :)
[21:04] <joh6nn> hah! i'm so totally not an expert
[21:04] <TheGentleman> you surely know more than myself... i'm just a user
[21:05] <joh6nn> same here.  in fact, i'm here trying to get my own issue solved :)
[21:05] <TheGentleman> i see... well, i go try on that machine
[21:05] <TheGentleman> cross your fingers
[21:07] <joh6nn> crossed :)
[21:07] <titan_ark> robin0800: installing :)
[21:07] <titan_ark> robin0800: done
[21:11] <slow-motion> hi
[21:17] <titan_ark> robin0800: cant figure out what to do next
[21:18] <robin0800> titan_ark:  do aptitude search pulseaudio
[21:20] <titan_ark> robin0800: phew running thro console is difficult
[21:21] <robin0800> titan_ark: use kpackagekit if you prefer
[21:22] <titan_ark> robin0800: yeah, i guess everything is installed!
[21:22] <titan_ark> i remember doingsudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins "pulseaudio-*" paman padevchooser paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter yesterday
[21:24] <robin0800> titan_ark: this is what I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/361533/
[21:27] <titan_ark> robin0800: mine looks a bit differenthttp://paste.ubuntu.com/361535/
[21:28] <titan_ark> cant decipher what it means though
[21:29] <robin0800> titan_ark: have you tried to run the pulseaudio volume control its in multimedia if installed correctly
[21:32] <titan_ark> robin0800: ah it works!
[21:32] <titan_ark> robin0800: but it seems to only read the integrated mic array of the notebook instead of the mic i have plugged in
[21:33] <joh6nn> i'm having some serious slowdown with my wireless connection, compared to the speeds that i had in both Hardy and Jaunty.  I've tried disabling ipv6 and a few other things, but nothing seems to help
[21:33] <robin0800> titan_ark: run alsamixer and make sure its enabled
[21:34] <titan_ark> ok
[21:39] <titan_ark> hmmm
[21:39] <titan_ark> nothing seems to change
[21:39] <titan_ark> and its noisy too
[21:40] <robin0800> titan_ark: does alsamixer show it?
[21:40] <titan_ark> robin0800: there is no change in alsa mixer
[21:40] <titan_ark> it still looks the same
[21:41] <robin0800> titan_ark: this is running from console?
[21:41] <titan_ark> yes
[21:41] <titan_ark> shall i show you a screenshot?
[21:42] <robin0800> titan_ark: is your microphone there?
[21:43] <robin0800> titan_ark: you might have to scroll there could be lots
[21:46] <titan_ark> http://imagebin.ca/view/fbHDyp5a.html
[21:46] <titan_ark> http://imagebin.ca/view/ltk1nZ.html
[21:46] <titan_ark> the mic seems to be on
[21:48] <robin0800> titan_ark: use curser keys to see if there are any more
[21:49] <smellynoser> Photoshop, Kubuntu and Wine? Ridiculously slow? Bad idea? I don't like GIMP by the way :)
[21:54] <titan_ark> robin0800: nope
[21:54] <titan_ark> no pore
[21:54] <titan_ark> *no more
[21:57] <joh6nn> smellynoser: ridiculously slow, bad idea
[21:57] <robin0800> titan_ark: the mics don't appear to be active
[21:58] <titan_ark> hmmm
[21:58] <titan_ark> cant seem to be able to set it r ight
[21:58] <joh6nn> smellynoser: if you want something that's closer to photoshop, you might try Pixel
[21:58] <joh6nn> it's like $50, but runs natively on mac, windows, and linux
[21:59] <smellynoser> joh6nn: Thanks
[22:25] <joh6nn> i'm having some serious slowdown with my wireless connection, compared to the speeds that i had in both Hardy and Jaunty.  I've tried disabling ipv6 and a few other things, but nothing seems to help
[22:26] <meowbuntu> hi how can i fix bad sectors on a hdd kubuntu live cd says i have some.
[22:29] <meowbuntu> i know xp could lable them and not use them
[22:34] <meowbuntu> hi how can i fix bad sectors on a hdd kubuntu live cd says i have some.
[22:34] <meowbuntu> i know xp could lable them and not use them
[22:56] <meowbuntu> ok if i have a new install of ubuntu can i install kubuntu desktop with it(not just kde), and also ubuntu studio desktop,
[22:57] <rmrfslash> I upgraded finally to 9.10
[22:57] <rmrfslash> looks good
[22:57] <rmrfslash> where's quassel?
[22:57] <meowbuntu> rmrfslash: if not here then hes away
[22:57] <joh6nn> meowbuntu: for the kubuntu desktop, there should be a package named something kubuntu-desktop.  don't know about for ubuntu-studio
[22:58] <joh6nn> rmrfslash: i just upgraded to 9.10, too; have you noticed any problems with network speed?
[22:58] <joh6nn> my wireless connection is really slow since upgrading last night
[22:58] <rmrfslash> :-/
[22:59] <rmrfslash> no. Quassel the IRC client
[22:59] <rmrfslash> was in 9.04
[22:59] <rmrfslash> rather came with 9.04
[22:59] <rmrfslash> I can apt-get it in this version
[22:59] <joh6nn> it's in Apps > Internet, for me
[22:59] <joh6nn> right near the top of the list
[23:00] <rmrfslash> Not for me
[23:01] <joh6nn> hmm.  what happens when you try to install it?
[23:01] <rmrfslash> The following packages have unmet dependencies:   quassel: Depends: quassel-data (= 0.5.0-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable
[23:01] <rmrfslash> :-/
[23:01] <joh6nn> try installing that package directly, see what it says
[23:02] <rmrfslash> quassel-data is installing
[23:02] <rmrfslash> o I don't get that error
[23:02] <rmrfslash> The following packages have unmet dependencies:   quassel: Depends: quassel-data (= 0.5.0-0ubuntu1) but 0.5.2-0ubuntu1~karmic1 is to be installed
[23:02] <rmrfslash> wtf
[23:03] <rmrfslash> aptitude offers for me to downgrade quassel-data to fix the dep issue
[23:04] <rmrfslash> I guess we'll go w/ that
[23:04] <rmrfslash> seemed to work
[23:04] <joh6nn> yeah, sounds like you've got some borkage there
[23:05] <rmrfslash> then I did a aptitude update/full-upgrade which moved me up to the correct version
[23:05] <rmrfslash> go figure
[23:14] <Bizzeh> if i create a logical partition, then create 3 partitions for ubuntu within that (boot, swap and root) and set kubuntu to install grub to (hd0) will kubuntu installer recignise windows 7 and add it to the boot list/

[23:46] <robin0800_> joh6nn: different drivers , different network manager?
[23:46] <joh6nn> robin0800_: just now tried upgrading to a new driver from backports, no love
[23:46] <joh6nn> getting ready to try wicd
[23:47] <joh6nn> i don't think that's it, though, unless they made some serious changes to NM between jaunty and karmic
[23:47] <robin0800_> joh6nn: I think they did
[23:47] <joh6nn> oh ah?  then perhaps that's it
[23:47] <joh6nn> well, let's see what happens with wicd, then
[23:48] <robin0800_> joh6nn: make sure you have a backup
[23:48] <joh6nn> did that last night before upgrading :)
[23:49] <joh6nn> well, here goes nothing.  hopefully, i'll be back in a moment
[23:49] <cinex> is there somewhere i can dowload kubuntu 9.1 with kde3 ?
[23:50] <cinex> the wife doesnt like kde4
[23:50] <robin0800_> cinex: try gnome
[23:50] <cinex> nvm
[23:50] <cinex> found it
[23:50] <cinex> pfft gnome
[23:51] <trinity> why dont people like gnome?
[23:51] <cinex> no alternate cd though :/
[23:52] <robin0800_> cinex: yes there is
[23:52] <Kolia> trinity: according to the success of Ubuntu, it's worng to say that people dont like gnome ;)
[23:53] <trinity> oh well;) i am kind of noobie in this. but i ve noticed some people dont like gnome for some reason.
[23:54] <cinex> im used to kde
[23:55] <robin0800_> trinity: its not as flash as kde but more functional in MHO
[23:55] <Kolia> trinity: well kubuntu uses KDE, so in this chan you will find people that prefer kde over gnome. And troll about it :)
[23:55] <cinex> I'm not trolling
[23:55] <Kolia> cinex: i wasn't talking of you
[23:55] <cinex> excersizing my freedom is all :p
[23:56] <cinex> excersizing my bad spelling t oo
[23:56] <Kolia> just saying that trashing gnome in a kde-related chan is "normal" ;)
[23:56] <trinity> still wrong;)
[23:56] <Kolia> and reciprocally
[23:56] <trinity> ah okay;)
[23:56] <maco> well....we might tease gnomeies...but trashing's a bit extreme
[23:56] <maco> unless you're nixternal
[23:56] <maco> !nixternal
[23:56] <APERSON> !ot
[23:57] <trinity> at least you re not windows users trolling people who dont how to fix that silly system
[23:57] <Kolia> maco: english not my mother language, sorry for bad use of "trash" .. but you got the idea :)
[23:57] <maco> Kolia: well, my point is it's all in good fun. we tease them, they team us, and then if its at a conference, a few rounds of beers tend to follow
[23:57] <maco> s/team/tease/
[23:58] <Kolia> maco: yep i agree
[23:58] <Kolia> let's stop off topic :)


[22:26] <reisio> you can combine all the images together into a PDF with any numbe of tools
[22:26] <reisio> including probably even GIMP
[22:26] <coatcub> Is their photoshop for ubuntu
[22:26] <k1l_> coatcub: look at gimp
[22:28] <ckubrak> Hey guys, if I do "scanimage -L" it doesn't find any scanner, but when I "sudo scanimage -L" it does. Any ideas how to fix it?

[22:32] <Frjd> Okay so I seem to have found a solution for the kswapd0 100% CPU problem.. does anyone know what I can do to pressure test my ram?
[22:33] <connie> Hello smart folks out there. I dont know if this is the right place to ask but maybe someone can help me. I have bought a laptop with ubuntu OS but i cant get anything i need to work so id just like to switch back to good old windows. I was hoping that just booting from the CD and formatting the HD would get me back into familiar fields but i cannot even get the boot order changed from hard drive to CD. Whats the easiest way to achieve
[22:33] <assss> hii
[22:33] <vfw> Frjd: memtest
[22:33] <Frjd> vfw, will that test from inside ubuntu?
[22:33] <assss> i say hi
[22:33] <vfw> Frjd: no
[22:34] <vfw> Frjd: That's just the only way I know to test RAM
[22:34] <Frjd> vfw, I need to get my memory usage up to >80-90%
[22:34] <assss> i saw hii
[22:34] <k1l_> connie: that depends on your exact hardware. look into the manual for the mainboard/bios. most times its something like f10 or f12 or such
[22:34] <vfw> Frjd: I dono
[22:35] <Frjd> connie, what do you need to work?
[22:36] <connie> @frjd just change the boot order to cd so i can get back onto familiar windows terrain is all i need i think.
[22:36] <connie> kll, i will try that while booting to see if that helps
[22:37] <Frjd> connie, delete key is also a good bet
[22:37] <k1l_> connie: ask in ##hardware and ##windows
[22:37] <connie> kll, frjd: thanks, i will try these buttons and the other forums. thanks a lot for your help
[22:38] <Frjd> Does anyone know a memory-hungry application?

[22:43] <alu> has anyone tried this
[22:43] <reisio> probably someone has
[22:43] <TrentP> command to toggle unity launcher auto-hide?
[22:43] <alu> i installed nvidia-cuda-toolkit
[22:43] <alu> it has a buncha 7.5 dependencies listed
[22:43] <alu> but i do whereis cuda
[22:43] <alu> cuda: /usr/include/cuda.h
[22:44] <ubuntu-mate> sudo reboot will toggle unity but there is a delay
[22:46] <reisio> TrentP: I imagine it's a pref stored in dconf or gconf
[22:46] <coatcub> does ubuntu have native ipv6 support
[22:46] <reisio> coatcub: that'd be my guess, yes
[22:46] <Wulf> coatcub: certainly
[22:46] <TrentP> reisio: yeah I was looking in gsettings.....
[22:47] <reisio> you can toggle it in unity-tweak-tool
[22:47] <reisio> diff your settings and you'll find the pref
[22:48] <TrentP> reisio: looking for a command that I can map to a shortcut
[22:51] <reisio> TrentP: http://askubuntu.com/questions/274153/command-line-for-hiding-and-unhiding-unity-panel ? via: https://www.google.com/search?q=gconftool%20unity%20auto%20hide
[22:53] <alu> I'm on 16.04 and installing deep learning software, I run into this   E: Unable to locate package libqt4-core E: Unable to locate package libqt4-gui
[22:54] <Viktors_> I just tried 16.04 desktop amd64 trial on my Thinkpad T420 and it just comes up with icons on the desktop... mouse moves but clikcking or any keyboard actions do nothing.  Works ok with 14.04.  Is T420 no longer supported?
[22:54] <EriC^^> !info libqt4-core
[22:55] <donu7> Hello, I have a ubuntu 10.04 vm, i just had a brown-out that killed the vm and now i can't sudo, su to root, or use passwd. I'm only able to log in via my key. The only clue I have to go on is when I run passwd I get an error "system is offline password change is not possible" and I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what I'm missing
[22:55] <teward> !10.04 | donu7
[22:56] <fathomstory> Hi, I am trying to dualboot ubuntu and PCBSD. I installed Ubuntu and then PCBSD but only BSD shows at boot. Is there a way to edit grub so that I can have my choice of OS'?
[22:56] <Wulf> donu7: what's in nsswitch.conf etc.? any special databases used?
[22:56] <fathomstory> Or is it really one or the other?
[22:57] <TrentP> reisio: launcher-hide-mode is it!  I must be gsettings wrong
[22:59] <ovidiu> Hey guys, the desktop environment on my ubuntu mate 15.10 doesn't show up, i can only see the wallpaper. What can I do?
[23:00] <donu7> @Wulf i'm not familiar with nsswitch's formatting. here's the conf - http://paste.ubuntu.com/16057506/
[23:00] <donu7> also, @Wulf the vm has zentyal 4.0 installed.
[23:00] <k1l_> alu: there is no libqt4-core in 16.04
[23:00] <Wulf> donu7: sss
[23:00] <croberts> has anyone managed to get the vsphere client running with wine
[23:00] <Wulf> donu7: you're probably in some windows environment, and sssd got issues
[23:00] <bernardo> i love macintosh!
[23:00] <donu7> @Wulf I don't follow
[23:01] <k1l_> fathomstory: ask the pcbsd guys if the have scripts for grub that scan for other OSs and add them to grub, like ubuntu does
[23:01] <Wulf> donu7: don't use "@Wulf"
[23:01] <bernardo> donu7: you have to reconfigure the md5#, as is
[23:01] <k1l_> donu7: 10.04 is long time dead now.
[23:01] <bernardo> *sad face*
[23:02] <donu7> i can't even read sssd.conf because it's root rw and i can't even elevate my access :/
[23:02] <TJ-> donu7: Wulf see "man 5 nsswitch.conf"
[23:02] <bernardo> donu7: why not?
[23:03] <TJ-> donu7: don't use the guest itself, mount the VM guest image on the host via a loop device and mount that to access the file systems
[23:04] <donu7> root login is disabled. i'm logging in via private key. any password-based mechanisms are failing without returning any useful errors. Once logged in (as a normal user) I can't sudo, or su, or even use passwd. The only clue I have is when running passwd I get the error "System is offline, password change not possible - passwd: Authentication token manipulation error"
[23:04] <donu7> sudo and su both fail with an "invalid login" error
[23:05] <k1l_> donu7: no matter how safe you make the login. that system doesnt get any security patches anymore so it might be vulnerable to well known security risks.
[23:06] <donu7> k1l_: unfortunately this vm isn't one I can easily replace or upgrade. I noticed it was on an old version of ubuntu a few months ago and still haven't gotten to where I can upgrade yet
[23:07] <DocPlatypus> this is strange. I use GNOME Classic, and normally the Applications menu is first, followed by Places. This afternoon I go back to my computer and Places is first, followed by Applications. How do I fix this without logging out and back in?
[23:07] <TJ-> donu7: the nsswitch.conf has "passwd compat sss" - sss is handled by libnss-sss and is the interface to the Sytem Security Service (sss) so likely that isn't operating
[23:08] <donu7> TJ-: is that a service? I'm not seeing an entry in /etc/init.d
[23:09] <TJ-> donu7: it'll be sssd
[23:09] <Wulf> donu7: try adding init=/bin/bash on the grub command line
[23:09] <Wulf> donu7: or some other way to recover root access
[23:11] <fathomstory> can the ubuntu disc fix grub or do we have to out and buy something to edit grub
[23:12] <halogel> Ubuntu 16.04 has frozen but the cursor still moves. How can I unfreeze?
[23:12] <RU33ERDUCK> i believe you can do it with the ubuntu cd
[23:13] <reisio> fathomstory: ^
[23:13] <k1l_> fathomstory: you need to decide which OS should handle grub.
[23:13] <RU33ERDUCK> what happened to grub?
[23:13] <fathomstory> I am booting off disc but see no edit option
[23:13] <Wulf> halogel: can you see the clock? does it change?
[23:13] <fathomstory> I want ubuntu to handle grub
[23:13] <reisio> fathomstory: 'Try Ubuntu', you can fix things from there
[23:14] <zykotick9> !fixgrub | fathomstory i'd try reinstalling ubuntu's grub, and afterwards running "sudo update-grub" if pcbsd isn't there by default (i'd think it should be able to boot it, but not 100%).  good luck.
[23:14] <halogel> Wulf: The clock has stopped
[23:14] <fathomstory> I have a boot disc, how do I install grub?
[23:14] <fathomstory> from the ubuntu boot disc?
[23:14] <Wulf> halogel: got very high disc activity?
[23:15] <zykotick9> fathomstory: see the links above.
[23:15] <Wulf> halogel: and try pressing alt-sysrq-R and then alt-f1
[23:15] <halogel> Wulf: I don't know, I'm just browsing the web.
[23:15] <RU33ERDUCK> ubuntu gives you the install option or the option to try it because its a live cd
[23:16] <fathomstory> okay, so I have to go in from a live session
[23:17] <RU33ERDUCK> yea, if you only have access to one computer, you will want to take notes on the steps to install grub
[23:17] <halogel> Wulf: what is sysrq?
[23:17] <Wulf> halogel: a key on your keyboard
[23:17] <halogel> Wulf: I don't have one of those
[23:18] <RU33ERDUCK> on a laptop sysrq i believe is often the right ctrl, i think it has a box with lines in it.
[23:18] <Wulf> halogel: try the "print" key
[23:18] <halogel> Wulf: Ok. Neither of those did anything
[23:19] <RU33ERDUCK> ha i googled it, im not sure i have one either...
[23:20] <Wulf> halogel: try alt-sysrq-B
[23:20] <halogel> Wulf: that reset my computer
[23:20] <Wulf> excellent
[23:21] <halogel> How do I prevent Ubuntu from freezing again?
[23:21] <AndChat574464> After I just installed ubuntu and then signed in it gave me a gray blank screen. I see the cursor and i can move it around but desktop isnt loading. Is there anything i can do to fix this?
[23:24] <RU33ERDUCK> those things happen frequently, the reezing and the blank screen...
[23:25] <RU33ERDUCK> you just have to figure out the right key combo to knock you out of the GUI and into the command line. then re start the GUI
[23:28] <halogel> RU33ERDUCK: Is there a version of ubuntu or linux that doesn't lock up like that?
[23:28] <alu> !info libqt4-gui
[23:28] <alu> i need this package
[23:30] <Blink`> this mirc is so bugged
[23:30] <Blink`> always giving red font from people and highlighting me
[23:30] <Blink`> ¬_¬
[23:31] <TJ-> !info libqtgui4 | alu
[23:32] <TJ-> alu: libqt4-gui was a transitional package to maintain backward compatibility in previous releases, and it depended on the actual modules required
[23:34] <alu> hmm
[23:35] <julio> olá
[23:35] <donu7> TJ-: and Wulf
[23:36] <donu7> *sigh* today is fat-finger day. I'm in single-user mode and I can't write to /etc/group. adduser returns error - cannot lock /etc/group using vi -:w! returns "unable to open /etc/group"
[23:41] <TJ-> donu7: as I said earlier, don't try to work in the running VM, mount its disk image file-system(s) on the host and access it that way
[23:41] <donu7> oh i see, thank you TJ-
[23:56] <StyxAlso> I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04, and my computer's time is now wrong.
