[00:05] <elijah> How would I make Konqueror the default file manager instead of Dolphin?
[00:20] <AfterHoursCanadi> yo
[00:24] <pulaski> Hi everyone, Yesterday I inadvertantly made my clipboard and system update notification icons disappear from my sys tray. I thought they were widgets and I could simply replace them but they do not appear as widgets when I try and add a new one to the panel. How can I find or replace my clipboard and system notifaction icons to the sys tray, not the panel?
[00:28] <compilerwriter> Help my kontact filters seem to be buggered.  I can edit them and then run them on my messages, but then I can't save them permanently or create new ones.  Any ideas folks.
[00:44] <compilerwriter> !partition
[00:46] <compilerwriter> !fstab
[00:48] <compilerwriter> !partitions
[00:48] <compilerwriter> !home
[00:59] <DarthFrog> compilerwriter: If you're going to do multiple bot queries, please do it in a private message, viz: /msg ubottu !home
[00:59] <compilerwriter> sorry temporarily forgot how to do it.
[01:00] <compilerwriter> Darthfrog do you have have any idea how in blazes I might go about fixing my email filters in kmail/kontact.  They suddenly can't be edited and saved; nor can new filters be created and saved.
[01:03] <DarthFrog> Sorry, I don't use Kmail anymore.
[01:03] <compilerwriter> Does anyone have any idea how in blazes I might go about fixing my email filters in kmail/kontact.  They suddenly can't be edited and saved; nor can new filters be created and saved.
[01:03] <DarthFrog> But that sounds like a bug to me.
[01:04] <compilerwriter> Things were working fine for some time.  Then when I went to edit a filter because of a change in the way the emails were coming in I could edit the filter but not change the settings.
[01:05] <compilerwriter> I am also trying to sort out how to look at my partitions.  I believe that I set up a seperate home partition so that I could just reinstall/ upgrade when the time came but can't remember how in blazes I accomplished it or the commands to use to verify the stuff.  Serves me right for not firing up a terminal more often.
[01:08] <DarthFrog> Well, in a terminal "fdisk -l" (may need sudo) will list your partitions.
[01:08] <DarthFrog> the "mount" command with no parameters will show which partitions are mounted where.
[01:09] <DarthFrog> and "cat /etc/fstab" will show you your file system mounting table.
[01:09] <compilerwriter> thank you darthfrog
[01:09] <DarthFrog> np
[01:15] <compilerwriter> Oh good grief I must have gotten really fancy this last time around I have .Private going on.  I must have encrypted my home directory.
[01:15] <DarthFrog> Have fun. :-)
[01:15] <DarthFrog> Hope you remember the password.
[01:15] <compilerwriter> I do remember the password.
[01:17] <compilerwriter> I never have to mess with it though. I just login to my machine.  I've even forgotten what the encryption was for.  Was I supposed to put just certain files into a folder or is my home directory just encrypted on the drive so that if my machine is ever stolen they will have to work harder to get at my stuff?
[01:17] <DarthFrog> Or it was a new and shiny option?
[01:18] <DarthFrog> shiney?
[01:18] <DarthFrog> Hmm, neither looks right.
[01:18] <compilerwriter> I think it might have been a new and shiny option.
[01:18] <compilerwriter> shiny is the correct spelling.
[01:19] <DarthFrog> Yeah, that sort of stuff resonates with our inner magpie. :-)
[01:21] <compilerwriter> http://paste.ubuntu.com/500659/ is the /etc/fstab output.
[01:21] <DarthFrog> You don't have a separate home partition.  I find it a useful configuration.
[01:23] <compilerwriter> http://paste.ubuntu.com/500663/
[01:23] <compilerwriter> that was mount
[01:23] <DarthFrog> That may be, but it isn't a separate partition.
[01:24] <DarthFrog>  /home/keith/.Private is merely mapped to /home/keith.
[01:26] <compilerwriter> fdisk -l  http://paste.ubuntu.com/500664/
[01:27] <compilerwriter> It would seem I have four partitions from the fdisk would it not DarthFrog?
[01:28] <DarthFrog> Not really.  sda2 is a container partitons for your logical partitons (sda5, sda6).
[01:29] <compilerwriter> I could have sworn that I set up the thing to have a seperate home partition for myself.  Perhaps I just didn't get it done correctly.
[01:29] <DarthFrog> If you were intending /dev/sda5 to be your home partition, it isn't.  It isn't mounted in your system.
[01:30] <compilerwriter> It never got mounted?
[01:30] <DarthFrog> Do you see it in the "mount" command output?
[01:30] <compilerwriter> I thought I had made an OS partition, a home Partition, and a swap partition.
[01:31] <DarthFrog> Right now, /dev/sda5 is lying fallow. :-)
[01:31] <compilerwriter> brb
[01:31] <DarthFrog> Try this: "sudo mkdir /mnt/disk && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/disk".
[01:31] <DarthFrog> Then see what's in that partition.
[01:33] <compilerwriter> how do I go look at it now cd inot /mnt/disk
[01:33] <DarthFrog> Or use Dolphin.
[01:34] <compilerwriter> ok thanks
[01:41] <Planetary_> hello.... is there anybody out there?....
[01:43] <jakent> yes
[01:46] <compilerwriter> DarthFrog: it would appear that shiny button is thwarting my plans
[01:50] <compilerwriter> This will give you a hint as to what is in that until now fallow partition. sudo mkdir /mnt/disk && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/disk
[01:50] <compilerwriter> oops
[01:50] <compilerwriter> http://paste.ubuntu.com/500671/ try that DarthFrog
[01:52] <compilerwriter> evidently when I opted for the encrypted partition I created a home directory in the OS partition?
[01:52] <compilerwriter> The question is DarthFrog how do I fix this?
[01:52] <compilerwriter> Blast the inner magpie! :-)
[01:54] <compilerwriter> I guess I am doing a total backup of data and then reformatting at the next upgrade eh? or is there a better way DarthFrog?
[01:56] <alex____> Entonces
[02:00] <Planetary_> why doesnt asound list work?
[02:01] <Planetary_> i cant select my usb dac as default sound. it only seems to work with the system sound when i prefer it in systemsettings
[02:02] <compilerwriter> good night all
[02:02] <DarthFrog> compilerwriter: There's a better way.
[02:03] <DarthFrog> compilerwriter: Good night.
[02:05] <DarthFrog> compilerwriter: Forget everything I said about /dev/sda5 not being mounted as your home partition, etc.  I've never worked with encrypted file systems and I see I gave you a bum steer.  It would seem that I need to learn about how encrypted file systems work.
[02:07] <DarthFrog> I was wr...wro...wr.. err, gave you misleading misinformation. :-)
[02:08] <compilerwriter> Thanks darthfrog I will talk to you about it later and we will get it sorted.

[05:03] <ubuntu> boa noite pessoal , nao conhecia o Linux nem o Kubuntun, ainda são sistemas operacionais não muito familiarizados, este irc tem como baixa lo para windows xp
[05:04] <ubuntu> alguém sabe !
[05:04] <ubuntu> alem do mais, gostei bastante dos dois SO que mensionei!
[05:12] <bdizzle> eh... que lingua?

[05:12] <maco> bdizzle: ubuntu is speaking portuges
[05:12] <bdizzle> ah, okay
[05:12] <bdizzle> couldn't tell
[05:13] <maco> bdizzle: see the word "são"?  ~ only goes over 'a' in portugese
[05:16] <bdizzle> ah
[05:16] <bdizzle> I haven't had any exposure to portugese, so I didn't know
[05:16] <bdizzle> it looked kinda like spanish, hence the asking of it if it was spanish
[05:16] <maco> i think irc is my total exposure to it
[05:16] <bdizzle> lol
[05:17] <maco> its just a thing that looks like spanish but has letters that dont exist in spanish

[13:03] <ubuntu> well_laid_lawn: no, but I ticked that verify disc burning option
[13:03] <ubuntu> well_laid_lawn: nevermind, ubuntu+1 says there is a bug in the installer

[15:21] <JimsKnopf> Hi everybody ;) I need help with the connection to a OpenXchange connection. Is there a possibility to make a connection with kontacts?
[15:26] <BluesKaj> OpenXchange connection? JimsKnopf
[15:27] <JimsKnopf> yes
[15:28] <Mamarok> JimsKnopf: according to http://kubuntuguide.org/Lucid#Open-Xchange it should work, did you have a look at the Kontact settings?
[15:29] <JimsKnopf> thanks, I will have a look
[15:35] <JimsKnopf> There is no information about the OpenXchange client configuration.Only the hint with the kontacts wizard. But the wizard is for susexchange only
[15:39] <Mamarok> JimsKnopf: I guess you need to set it up on the OpenXchange side first
[15:40] <Mamarok> I never used that, only Kolab
[15:40] <JimsKnopf> ok. I found an OXtender for thunderbird
[15:41] <JimsKnopf> It works perfect
[15:41] <JimsKnopf> But there have to be a way to use it with kontacts
[15:41] <Mamarok> I think so, buthow I can't tell, sorry
[15:42] <Mamarok> BluesKaj: do ou know more?
[15:42] <JimsKnopf> no problem...but many thanks for the hints ;)
[15:44] <klaxian> how can I prevent KDE from ever attempting to suspend or hibernate my system no matter what user is logged in or if the login screen is displayed?
[15:49] <BluesKaj> Mamarok, JimsKnopf , no sorry I can't help , no experience with kontact
[15:53] <Mamarok> klaxian: see the power management settings in the system settings
[15:54] <klaxian> Mamarok: thanks, i've already configured that.  i disabled all the suspend options i could there.  that is a per-user configuration though, right?
[15:54] <klaxian> Mamarok: it appears that my system was suspended while no one was logged in (on login screen) and i need to prevent that
[15:57] <Mamarok> well, that would have to be changed in the system power management, no idea where that is, though (as it is not KDE related)
[15:57] <klaxian> hmm
[15:59] <headstrong> is kubuntu the version with kde on the official ubuntu site?
[15:59] <Mamarok> klaxian: I think you should ask in #ubuntu, as this is system related
[15:59] <klaxian> ok
[16:00] <headstrong> kubuntu is not ubuntu with kde?
[16:55] <phoenix_> hello everyone
[16:55] <phoenix_> is there a way to see the id3 tags of a mp3 file in dolphin file properties
[17:04] <DarthFrog> phoenix_: I just looked at the Properties of a MP3 file.  The Information tab gives the info you want.
[17:05] <DarthFrog> And if you click on the Configure button in the Information tab, you can set what fields are displayed.
[17:05] <phoenix_> DarthFrog: i am checking that
[17:07] <phoenix_> DarthFrog: some of the details are displayed wrongly. i have tagged the mp3 files with kid3 app
[17:07] <DarthFrog> phoenix_: Where is it getting the incorrect info from?
[17:07] <phoenix_> DarthFrog: the title is displayed correctly, but the album name is not
[17:08] <DarthFrog> phoenix_: Check the ID3 tag in Easytag.
[17:08] <phoenix_> DarthFrog: ok
[17:09] <DarthFrog> Easytag is extremely powerful, BTW.
[17:10] <BluesKaj> phoenix_, the best database is cddb afaik , some players use a diff one which lacks alot of the artwork
[17:11] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: i manually inserted the details of id3 tags of each file
[17:13] <phoenix_> DarthFrog: i checked with easytag, the album name is present correctly
[17:13] <DarthFrog> Curious.
[17:14] <DarthFrog> Sounds like it might be a bug.
[17:14] <BluesKaj> yeah  ,my friends are n't happy with some of the new players on windows which use a diff database
[17:15] <phoenix_> DarthFrog: is you mp3 tags displayed correctly
[17:15] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: you mean the id3 tags database
[17:16] <DarthFrog> Don't know, I didn't check closely, sorry.   And I'm about to leave the computer for the day.   Good luck.
[17:16] <phoenix_> DarthFrog: thanks for the support
[17:17] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: my language is not supported well
[17:17] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: i mean the music db
[17:17] <BluesKaj> phoenix_, not sure , I don't tag music altho I listen and play it
[17:19] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: the new players are built to play organised music collection, so i feel hard to play without organising the files
[17:19] <Rounin> Hello! I'm trying out the Maverick Meerkat beta, and can't find any option to change the CPU frequency scaling policy anymore... And the different policies aren't listed under the CPU's capabilities either... Does anyone know what component is responsible for that functionality?
[17:20] <James147> Rounin: check in system settings > power managment, also maverick support is on #ubuntu+1
[17:21] <BluesKaj> phoenix_, I do organize the files , it's just not necessary that all the other data like album covers and artwork need to be included
[17:21] <Rounin> That's where it's missing from, James147, but I'll try #ubuntu+1 ... Thanks!
[17:21] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: ya , its just for my mobile
[17:21] <phoenix_> hello James147
[17:21] <James147> Hey phoenix_, BluesKaj :)
[17:22] <BluesKaj> hi James147
[17:22] <phoenix_> James147: are you engaged in kubuntu 10.10 developement?
[17:22]  * James147 dosnt develop kubuntu....
[17:23] <phoenix_> James147: do you try 10.10
[17:24] <James147> phoenix_:  I am running it on my netbook :)
[17:24] <phoenix_> James147: do you know that pulseaudio is the default audio server
[17:25] <James147> phoenix_: heard mention of it... havnt had any problems with it on my netbook though
[17:25]  * BluesKaj wishes he could convince his friends to switch to linux , bloody windows media player is driving them and me around the bend , media jukebox doesn't us e the cddb database and winamp is for younger eyes
[17:25] <James147> not that I use sound much on it... 1/2 the time sound is disabled completely :)
[17:26]  * BluesKaj likes music not pc "sounds "
[17:26] <James147> BluesKaj: younger eyes? how so?
[17:26] <phoenix_> James147: younger eyes?
[17:26] <BluesKaj> the fonts aren't configurable , they're so small , James147
[17:27] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: did you try songbird?
[17:27] <James147> BluesKaj: heh, figured winamp was ment to be one of the more customisable ones... dont like it very much though
[17:27] <BluesKaj> phoenix_, on windows ?
[17:27] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: linux
[17:28] <James147> BluesKaj: also, there is always kde for windows :)
[17:28] <phoenix_> did you people see the qt changelog of 4.7
[17:29] <phoenix_> they have hardware compositing for webkit
[17:29] <James147> phoenix_: O_o
[17:29] <BluesKaj> phoenix_, my friends all usw e windows and when soimething goes wrong like wmp not seeing the usb outboard drive music files anymore and won't load the headers into the database anylonger because it's locked from too many new versions
[17:30] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: new versions of what
[17:32] <BluesKaj> everytime the usb outboard drive is disconnected and rconnected wmp creates anew database for the library , after qabout 5-6 disconnects and reconnects wmp no longer loads the library because it's already there but it really isn't...that the best wat i can explain it
[17:34] <phoenix_> BluesKaj:why cant you recomment your friends to try amarok
[17:35] <BluesKaj> this is a question I asked in #windows and no one could answer...there is a fix that I found but it only works intermitently
[17:36] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: i think the solution might be to delete the database manually
[17:36] <James147> phoenix_: thats not a soultion, thats a workaround :)
[17:37] <phoenix_> James147: ok
[17:38] <BluesKaj> phoenix_, they're all windows users , and barely capable using it....yes i have managed to remove the database manually on one pc but not on all
[17:38] <phoenix_> James147: is it proper to discuss a windows related topic in this channel?
[17:38] <James147> probally best to move to #kubuntu-offtopic :)
[17:38] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: what is the wmp version
[17:39] <phoenix_> James147: ok
[17:39] <BluesKaj> well phoenix_ not really , but do you see any other ppl asking ...anything ? :)
[17:39] <BluesKaj> wmp=windows media player
[17:40] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: well, some people feel it not good to discuss and they ask the person to use the proper channel
[17:42] <BluesKaj> phoenix_, I'm there too ,but nobody is chatting
[17:43] <phoenix_> BluesKaj: can you come to the channel #kubuntu-offtopic
[18:01] <Patrunjel> hi
[18:46] <BluesKaj> are you guys being disconnected as well , James147 ?
[18:46] <James147> BluesKaj: no, had to kill X :)
[18:47] <BluesKaj> hmm, wonder about my ISP , i hate using those auto-dns settings :(
[18:48] <BluesKaj> opendns creates a ptoblem for my eamil accounts when my dynamic IP changes , so I had to revert and google dns is slow
[18:56] <bronze> BluesKaj: use one of the dynamic DNS services. Thats exactly the kind of thing they exist for.
[18:57] <BluesKaj> there we go again ..disconnected- reconnected
[18:58] <Backglass> put in dns
[18:58] <Backglass> <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:00] <BluesKaj> Backglass, already did and secondary <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:02] <anygivenname> hi.....how do I install .tar.gz  ?
[19:02] <Backglass> uhm
[19:03] <James147> anygivenname: .tar.gz is a compressed archive (like .zip) there is no 'one' way to install them
[19:04] <James147> anygivenname: depending on what it is you normally extract it and read the README file included in side (if it has one)
[19:04] <anygivenname> it is like zip & it is a compressed application
[19:06] <Guest1338> Anyone know how to fix the "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." error when trying to boot from a live CD or live USB?
[19:06] <anygivenname> yeah there is a readme file
[19:06] <anygivenname> but needs an expert
[19:06] <Guest1338> anygivenname: What program is it you're trying to install?
[19:07] <francesco_> ciao a tutti
[19:07] <francesco_> !list
[19:07] <James147> anygivenname: well we cannot help you without knowing what the program is or whats in teh README file
[19:07] <anygivenname> cp ddclient /usr/sbin/
[19:07] <anygivenname>   mkdir /etc/ddclient
[19:07] <anygivenname>   cp sample-etc_ddclient.conf /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf
[19:07] <anygivenname>   vi /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf
[19:08] <FloodBotK1> anygivenname: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:09] <anygivenname> this is the installation instructions
[19:09] <anygivenname> what should I do ?
[19:09] <James147> anygivenname: can you pastebin the entire radme file
[19:09] <James147> readme ^^
[19:10] <anygivenname> here ?
[19:10] <James147> !pastebin
[19:11] <anygivenname> http://paste.ubuntu.com/501067/
[19:12] <James147> anygivenname: ok, first open up konsole
[19:12] <anygivenname> what's konsole ?
[19:14] <anygivenname> is it an app I have to get ?
[19:15] <James147> anygivenname: ... ddclient is in the repos, you should beable to install it via kpackagekit
[19:15] <James147> anygivenname: (doing so would be simpiler)
[19:16] <James147> (also has a more uptodate version then that readme indicates
[19:18] <anygivenname> I have kpac.....how do I install thru it
[19:18] <anygivenname> ?
[19:18] <James147> anygivenname: open kpackagekit
[19:18] <navetz> Hi I have a envy 15 laptop and I can't get the microphone working with skype (or anything else). Can someone help me out?
[19:19] <anygivenname> ok
[19:19] <anygivenname> & I searched for ddclient....it found it
[19:19] <anygivenname> then?
[19:20] <James147> anygivenname: then click on the "software updates" tab on the left hand side, (it should be the second one down) in taht tab click on "Refresh" (located in the middle of the three button at the bottom)... Then switch to the software managment tab (should be the first one on the left hand side) and in the text box type "ddclient" and press <enter>...
[19:21] <James147> anygivenname: that should list a package, click on the down arrow at the end of the row and press apply
[19:27]  * BluesKaj admires James147 's patience and hand holding
[19:28]  * James147 smiles
[19:29]  * James147 should copy that into a text file... :)
[19:29] <BluesKaj>  still prefers synaptic , gtk ot not
[19:29] <BluesKaj> or
[19:30] <James147> BluesKaj: have you seen kpackagekit in maverick? they improved on it allot :D
[19:32] <BluesKaj> James147, I'd like to try maverick , but this server needs to remain stable. I will try it on my old desktop soon. I can install it to / , and keep /home intact in case X gets broken again.
[19:33]  * James147 grumbles at bios upgrade utilities being only for windows
[19:33] <James147> BluesKaj: yeah, I only installed it on my netbook and has been a bit unstable :S although its sloowly getting better :)
[19:34] <James147> BluesKaj: you should beabel to grab kpackagekit from kde-apps.org though
[19:34] <James147> to see the latest version
[19:34] <anygivenname> I have done it thru kpac.....but now I can not find the app in Applications
[19:34] <BluesKaj> I'm looking at a new-for-me nvidia graphics7 series card for the desktop , so maybe maverickcan run ok on it
[19:35] <James147> anygivenname: from what I can see about it its not an app, but a deamon  (service in windows terms...) I dont see why tehre would be a menu entry and you will need to configure it manually by editing the appropite config files...
[19:37] <James147> BluesKaj: I could probally test my old 7300 on maverick if you wanted, see if it runs :)
[19:37] <anygivenname> so u mean it is working now in the background ?
[19:37] <James147> anygivenname: probally... but its probally not set up
[19:38] <BluesKaj> ddclient is adaemon , anygivenname , you can check out it's options in the terminal/konsole , type man ddclient
[19:39] <James147> anygivenname: if you can tell us why you installed it/what you are trying to do over all we might beablet o better help
[19:40] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ddclient
[19:41] <BluesKaj> someone probly rec'd the app to track his dynamic IP
[19:41] <BluesKaj> on dyndns
[19:46]  * James147 wonders if it worth wiping his netbook, installing windows on it, updating his bios, wiping windows and reinstalling linux :D
[19:47] <BluesKaj> why James147 , BIOS update already?
[19:50] <anygivenname> James147, the reason I switched to Ubuntu is that it more stable & better performing than Win....I want to install ddclient so it updates my host regularly whenever my dynamic IP changes so I am able to connect to it remotely always
[19:51] <skafti> I have a strange problem... my motherboard soundcard died last year and i had to buy a new sound card, but now after i installed kubuntu the old inbuild card is working poorly when i am streaming youtube exp... but when im playing dragon player the old one is active
[19:51] <anygivenname> issue is Ubuntu is a bit complex for me when it comes to installation issues
[19:51] <skafti> so i need to be swiching the plug over every time i use one or the other
[19:52] <James147> anygivenname: ... well, the link BluesKaj gave should show to the basics of how to configure ddclient, but searching on your DNS providers site but give better information on how to configure it
[19:53] <anygivenname> where should those script go into ?
[19:53] <James147> anygivenname: either way its going to involve editing config files as there is no nice gui for it... but learning to use the terminal/ editing config files is something worth doing in linux
[19:58] <James147> hmm, anygivenname, you might want to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ddclient"  ... seems that will set it up for you, asking you the relevent questions  (run that command in a terminal application like konsole)
[19:58] <slow-motion> hi
[20:01] <James147> anygivenname: but ddclient is installed to /usr/sbin but you can start/stop it by running "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient start" (or stop or status or restart)
[20:02] <Renovatio> hi, is there anyone who can help me in setting cdrecorder "wodim" permission? k3b always exit with a cdrecord permission error
[20:02] <navetz> Hi I have a envy 15 laptop and I can't get the microphone working with skype (or anything else). Can someone help me out?
[20:03] <anygivenname> how do I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure ddclient ?
[20:04] <James147> anygivenname: open konsole (a terminal application, it should already be installed) and type that into it then press enter
[20:06] <anygivenname> I dont have konsole....only Terminal.....can it do the job ?
[20:07] <James147> anygivenname: ... it should
[20:08] <navetz> does anyone know how i can go about getting my microphone working?
[20:12] <novagazan> ğa
[20:13] <novagazan> bişey soracam
[20:13] <novagazan> gimse var mı?
[20:15] <James147> Renovatio: you should be able to setup the requited premissions by: in k3b > Settings > Setup system premissions...
[20:15] <James147> required...
[20:17] <Renovatio> James147: 4711 root.root for cdrecord and cdrdao without writing group...should it work?
[20:17] <James147> Renovatio: would think so,
[20:20] <Renovatio> James147: ok, i'm having a try...but first i have to reboot my pc....thank you
[20:31] <Renovatio> James147...now i don't have any cdrecord permission error but it doesn't record :-( it stays hold on 0% :-(
[20:32] <James147> Renovatio: try setting up the other premision options, other then that I am not sure what to do sorry, I am not very fimilar with k3b
[20:34] <Renovatio> James147: it returns with "unable to set the record" (or something like that, english is not my system lang :-( ok...i don't have to write my CDs...i understood :P
[20:39] <anygivenname> what should I do now on this 'please set run_daemon to 'true' in /etc/default/ddclient'  ?
[20:41] <James147> anygivenname: run: "kdesudo kate /etc/default/ddclient" and change the line "run_daemon="true"" to "run_daemon="false""
[20:42] <anygivenname> u mean vice versa
[20:42] <anygivenname> it should be set to 'true' as it says
[20:44] <James147> anygivenname: yeah, sorry :)
[20:44] <anygivenname> kdesudo kate /etc/default/ddclient  does not do anything
[20:44] <anygivenname> is there anyway I can edit this file using an app ?
[20:45] <James147> anygivenname: it should give you a prompt for your password, then open kate (the text editor) as root with that file
[20:45] <anygivenname> it is the only file in this folder that has an X on top right
[20:45] <anygivenname> it only asked for password
[20:45] <anygivenname> didnt open anything afterwards
[20:46] <James147> hmm... what happens if you jsut run "kate"?
[20:46] <anygivenname> like how ?
[20:47] <James147> anygivenname: in a terminal
[20:47] <anygivenname> without kdesudo ?
[20:47] <James147> anygivenname: yeah, make sure kate can open before trying to open it with root :)
[20:47] <James147> anygivenname: if it works try "kdesudo kate"
[20:47] <anygivenname> kate...says currently not installed
[20:48] <James147> anygivenname: ... hmm
[20:48] <anygivenname> kdesudo kate.....says sudo:
[20:48] <James147> anygivenname: are you on kubuntu, or ubuntu?
[20:48] <anygivenname> ubuntu
[20:48] <anygivenname> what is kubuntu ? havent heard of it
[20:49] <James147> anygivenname: ... that would be why.. I assumed you where on kubuntu... since this is the kubuntu support channel.. kubuntu is essentally ubuntu with kde  rather then gnome (the desktop enviroment)
[20:49] <James147> anygivenname: try "gtksudo gedit /etc/default/ddclient" instead
[20:50] <James147> anygivenname: you also might want to join #ubuntu :)
[20:50] <anygivenname> says:
[20:50] <anygivenname> No command 'gtksudo' found, did you mean:
[20:50] <anygivenname>  Command 'gksudo' from package 'gksu' (main)
[20:50] <James147> :S
[20:51] <James147> anygivenname: try gtksu ...
[20:51] <anygivenname> can the file ddclient be opened with an app ?
[20:51] <James147> anygivenname: it can... but needs to be opened as root
[20:51] <James147> anygivenname: what happens if you run "gedit"?
[20:52]  * James147 wonders why you have kdesudo but not kate...
[20:52] <anygivenname> gedit opened an app
[20:53] <James147> weird... most people have either kdesudo and kate... or gtksudo and edit.... :S try "kdesudo gedit"
[20:53] <James147> s/edit/gedit/
[20:54] <maco> James147: gtksudo doesnt work because gtksudo doesnt exist
[20:54] <James147> maco: gtksu then?
[20:54] <maco> James147: anygivenname's command-not-found was correct to suggest gksudo
[20:54] <maco> James147: there's no t in it
[20:54] <James147> ahh..
[20:55] <anygivenname> what do I try now ?
[20:55] <James147> anygivenname: try "gksudo gedit" ... sorry about that, dont use gnome and got the name mixed up
[20:56] <anygivenname> kdesudo gedit /etc/default/ddclient
[20:56] <anygivenname> worked
[20:56] <anygivenname> opened the file
[20:56]  * James147 still wonders why you ahve kdesudo...
[20:56] <James147> anygivenname: but o well, you should beable to edit the file then
[20:58] <James147> (and thank you for the correction maco :)  )
[20:58] <anygivenname> yeah
[20:59] <anygivenname> now is there a way to make sure the ddclient is working
[20:59] <anygivenname> ?
[20:59] <anygivenname> as we have finished all settings
[21:00] <James147> anygivenname: "/etc/init.d/ddclient status" should tell you if its running or not
[21:00] <anygivenname> in terminal aswell ?
[21:00] <James147> anygivenname: and you will want to restart it after editing teh file... "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient restart" should do that
[21:00] <James147> anygivenname: yup
[21:00] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, which dns service are you using ?
[21:01] <James147> anygivenname: however, I do not know how to check if its working properly
[21:01] <anygivenname> says not running :(
[21:01] <James147> anygivenname: then "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient start"  should start it
[21:02] <anygivenname> yeah
[21:02] <anygivenname> running now
[21:03] <anygivenname> so now....whenever my IP changes....it should update my dyndns.org host
[21:04] <James147> anygivenname: should...
[21:04] <anygivenname> used to do so on Win....I am hopeful it would do on Ubuntu
[21:04] <anygivenname> will test it
[21:05] <James147> anygivenname: if its configured correctly then it will :)
[21:05] <anygivenname> yeah it is
[21:05] <anygivenname> questions were so simple
[21:06] <anygivenname> will reconnect my router to test
[21:06] <navetz> does anyone know how i can go about getting my microphone working?
[21:07] <navetz> Hi I have a envy 15 laptop and I can't get the microphone working with skype (or anything else). Can someone help me out?
[21:09] <navetz> could someone tell me where i can find a wiki on the envy 15 laptop for linux
[21:09] <navetz> i've seen them before
[21:33] <n8w> hey
[21:34] <n8w> i wanna remove some entries from the grub menu, but i cant find menu.lst file...locate menu.lst gives me only path to memtest86+/examples
[21:35] <n8w> ive got grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu7)
[21:42] <James147> n8w: run "sudo update-grub" to regenerate the grub menu
[21:43] <James147> !grub2 | n8w
[21:44] <n8w> James147:  thx,ive already gor an answer to my question
[21:44] <n8w> *got
[21:47] <Malkavian_> I am using Maverick and wanted to delete from kmail the last used email addresses, now after I've done that my contact list is empty
[21:48] <Malkavian_> is there any way to restore the address book?
[21:49] <n8w> James147:  ive got one more question...when i remove some entries from grub.cfg n do sudo update-grub,they will appear in there again
[21:49] <Malkavian_> I just added a new contact to the list and there is is, the only contact; all the old ones are lost
[21:49] <James147> n8w: they will, you should not edit grub.cfg
[21:50] <n8w> James147:  well how do i remove OS entires then?
[21:50] <n8w> James147:  ive been told to edit grub.cfg
[21:50] <navetz> Hi I have a envy 15 laptop and I can't get the microphone working with skype (or anything else). Can someone help me out?
[21:50] <James147> n8w: grub-update is run during some updates (mostly when new kernels are added) so it is not advised to edit it
[21:50] <James147> n8w: that depends on what you want to remove?
[21:51] <n8w> James147:  unused kernels n that memtest bs:)
[21:51] <James147> n8w: well, best way to remove unused kernals is to uninstall them... :) then they wont appear in grub
[21:52] <n8w> James147:  hmm what about the memtest?
[21:53] <James147> n8w: memtest can be removed by editing /etc/default/grub I think...
[21:53] <James147> or maby not, one sec
[21:55] <James147> n8w: "Omitting memtest86+: To prevent "memtest86+" entries in your Grub 2 menu, remove the "executable" bit from /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+" from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[21:56] <n8w> James147:  ok thx a lot...i could have found it myself,sry....im uninstallin my old kernels
[21:57] <James147> n8w: at least this way you wont have to reedit grub.cfg every kernal update :)
[21:57] <n8w> James147:  ye man:)i just gotta b carefull what im removin:D
[21:57] <James147> n8w: yup :)
[21:59] <James147> n8w: I tend to use "sudo aptitude" to remove old kernals, switch it to "flat package view" and filter for "2.6.32 ~i"  :)
[22:02] <n8w> James147:  ye i did filter for  linux-image-2
[22:15] <justus> hi, anyone ther?
[22:15] <justus> anyone has an idea how to stop make the top bar in kubuntu netbook remix autohide?
[22:16] <justus> i'm pretty new to the netbook remixes, i know in ubuntu that's pretty easy.
[22:16] <justus> is there a similiar easy way to do that in kubuntu?
[22:17] <justus> allright, it seems that nobody is here..
[22:17] <justus> thanks anyhow
[22:17] <James147> justus: you can (at least in kde 4.5... not sure about 4.4) by clicking the cachew (the circle thing in one of the corners)
[22:25] <navetz> Hi I have a envy 15 laptop and I can't get the microphone working with skype (or anything else). Can someone help me out?
[22:26] <ilumi> navetz: go to audio setting, and find your mic, make sure you move it to the top of the list
[22:26] <navetz> ilumi: this is in system settings under multimedia correct?
[22:26] <ilumi> navetz: yup
[22:27] <ilumi> navetz: somewhere over there
[22:28] <navetz> ilumi: seems i only have one option for the audio capture sections and its at the top .

[22:33] <navetz> ilumi: Ahhh! got it I think

[22:33] <navetz> ilumi: do you know of any ways I can test my mic?
[22:34] <ilumi> navetz: install some simple audio capture app

[23:01] <guinux> Good night!
[23:01] <guinux> Somebody uses 64 bits kubuntu?
[23:02] <James147> guinux: lots of people do...
[23:03] <guinux> James147: And any of you uses the proprietary driver of ATI GPUs?
[23:04] <James147> guinux: you are more likly to get the answer you want by directly asking your question/stating what problem you are having
[23:07] <guinux> James147: OK, Sorry. I cannot install the Catalyst 10.9 on Kubuntu 64, can you? I cannot niether with the drivers in repository nor with the ATI site drivers.
[23:07] <e_t_> Do you get any sort of error message? That would be helpful.
[23:12] <guinux> e_t_: I will try again later and tell you the message, because i've tried yesterday and don't copy the error message.
[23:21] <thanis1200> can someone type me on private message i would like to ask something about ubuntu
[23:21] <trichard> hey, is the register process on the kubuntuforums broken?  What major ocean exists between Asia and North America?
[23:23] <James147> googled it :)
[23:23] <e_t_> The Pacific
[23:23] <trichard> i tried north pacific ocean, north pacific, pacific ocean
[23:24] <trichard> hm ok
[23:24] <trichard> You did not answer the verification questions correctly.
[23:24] <trichard> bah
[23:27] <trichard> What country borders USA on the south side?: Mexico
[23:28] <trichard> The answer to this question is the word 'yes': yes
[23:28] <trichard> What does (5 - 3)*2 equal?: 4
[23:28] <trichard> In what city is the Eiffel Tower (just the city name)?: Paris
[23:29]  * James147 dosnt under stand why kubuntufourms is so paranoid about bots
[23:29] <trichard> me neither
[23:29] <trichard> any suggestions? :p
[23:29]  * Diziara doesn't remember having to jump through such hoops when she signed up for the fourms... but she did so years ago.
[23:30] <Diziara> That said, we've had some obnoxious bots and spammers swing through from time to time.
[23:31] <trichard> i'm pretty sure alot of users just give up after a while when they have to face these kind of questions
[23:31] <James147> trichard: yeah, i almost did
[23:32] <trichard> James147: do you remember the correct answers? :p
[23:32] <James147> trichard: sorry, cant remember exactly what I put
[23:33]  * James147 dreads the day bot are able to answer the questions better then us :S
[23:34] <Diziara> trichard, did you try just "pacific" for the ocean question?
[23:35] <trichard> Diziara: Doh, that was it
[23:35] <trichard> thanks
[23:35] <trichard> they should make it more tolerant though
[23:36] <James147> trichard: they should, but considering I have the exact same questions you got I think they dont even have dynamic questions :S
[23:36] <Diziara> Do the questions come up in the same order every time?
[23:36] <James147> Diziara: yup
[23:37] <James147> (at elast I think)
[23:37] <James147> (well when I refresh they do
[23:37] <trichard> indeed
[23:39] <Diziara> Well, that's pretty frellin' useless.
[23:39] <Diziara> I'm amazed we're not overrun with bots then.
[23:41] <James147> hehe, google goggles on my phone (taking a picture of the captcha as well, not even the orignal image) guess one of the two words
[23:41] <James147> (i cant read the first one either)
[23:43] <claydoh> James147: kubuntuforums got lots, and I do meas *lots* of bots/spam/pr0n until we added the extra registration steps
[23:44] <James147> claydoh: it seems alittle unforgiving on the questions though...
[23:45] <claydoh> we have changed them up at times, but given the software the site's owner uses atm, there hasn't been anything else that has worked
[23:46] <claydoh> James147: we don't have canonical's sysadmins or a large staff
[23:47] <trichard> claydoh: couldn't you just adjust the script to make it more tolerant
[23:47] <trichard> so it accepts four and 4 as correct answers
[23:47] <trichard> and pacific, the pacific, north pacific, or just *pacific* or something?
[23:48] <claydoh> James147: the script isn't that advanced
[23:48] <James147> claydoh: and it cannot be edited?
[23:48] <claydoh> but I don't disagree with  you
[23:48] <claydoh> it doesn't support wildcards afaik
[23:50] <trichard> claydoh: Ok, but does it support more then 1 answer?
[23:50] <claydoh> no
[23:51] <trichard> could you point me to the script? It should be a quick fix
[23:51] <James147> claydoh: and it cannot be edited?
[23:51] <arow> hi all
[23:52] <claydoh> as i mentioned there is no it staff, kfn is an independent forum run by a nice guy, and we aren't too php-savvy
[23:52] <claydoh> plus we get very few complaints
[23:54] <arow> can anybody help me with my sound issues?
[23:54] <James147> !sound | arow
[23:54] <James147> arow: or say what problem you are having :)
[23:54] <arow> i dont have a mic in my mixer
[23:54] <arow> pulsemixer
[23:54] <arow> so i cant use skype
[23:55] <trichard> claydoh: ok, but maybe i could help
[23:57] <claydoh> trichard: sorry my cleint disconnected from my core, looking it up
[23:57] <trichard> ok thanks


[12:47] <infosoft> Hello everyone! :)
[12:47] <nisshh> infosoft: hey dude
[12:48] <infosoft> I have a question.  Konversation application seems to be unstable
[12:56] <nisshh> i figured
[12:56] <nisshh> heh
[12:56] <nisshh> just had a little rant while you were gone :)
[12:56] <infosoft> Arch Linux + Konversation = Bad idea
[12:56] <nisshh> meh
[12:56] <nisshh> infosoft: anyway back to your question
[12:56] <nisshh> humphreybc: is there a writing freeze date for e2?
[12:57] <thorwil> australia makes me think of crocodile dundee, but there's lord of the rings and xena for NZ
[12:58] <humphreybc> nah
[12:58] <nisshh> thorwil: ha
[12:58] <nisshh> thorwil: thought you were on my side....
[12:58] <nisshh> humphreybc: is that a nah there isnt a date for e2 writing freeze?
[12:59] <nisshh> or something else?
[13:01] <infosoft> Some of the translators (including me) don't want to loose translations (that happens due to manual fixes/updates) and to waste their time. It would be better to know freeze date :)
[13:03] <nisshh> infosoft: talk to humphreybc about that if your concerned
[13:04] <dutchie> infosoft: if you're a translator and your edition is not done yet, you'd be much better off doing e1
[13:04] <infosoft> I don't like e1 :D
[13:04] <dutchie> why not?
[13:04] <nisshh> infosoft: whats wrong with e1?
[13:05] <thorwil> i suspect it's just e2 > e1
[13:05] <infosoft> Well, ... our group (except few people) don't know almost anything about LaTex. There's much errors done...
[13:05] <infosoft> And now all translators are having holidays/gone/etc.
[13:05] <nisshh> but how does that make e1 better?
[13:07] <infosoft> So now I don't need to worry about others grammar/style mistakes and that's why I thought I should translate e2 while others might do something with e1 :D
[13:08] <nisshh> infosoft: e1 is supposed to be being translated because e2 is still being edited
