[00:52] <fa4anaheim> test test...is this thing on?
[00:58] <fa4anaheim> hello..?
[00:58] <cuznt> hi
[00:58] <cuznt> !ask
[00:58] <ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[00:59] <fa4anaheim> noted...i am trying to figure out how to open files as root so i can edit them...what info do you need?
=== yambob2 is now known as yambob
[01:04] <fa4anaheim> The file in question is /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode. I am trying to change the "FN" key to the opposite state but I cannot figure out how to open, change, and save it as root...
[01:07] <greatwall> sdxaf4sad
[01:09] <fa4anaheim> i guess not then...
[01:10] <Dragnslicer> sudo kate /path/to/file should work
[01:10] <islington> fa4anaheim: you just need to know the sudo passwoed
[01:10] <islington> kdesu kate /path/to/file should be safer
[01:10] <Dragnslicer> There is no "sudo password"
[01:11] <Dragnslicer> Er, yeah
[01:11] <Dragnslicer> Obviously I'm not thinking quite straight tonight
[01:11] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- kdesu kate /path/to/file
[01:11] <fa4anaheim> cool, trying it now...
[01:12] <Dragnslicer> Ugh, no
[01:12] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- kdesudo kate /path/to/file
[01:12] <Dragnslicer> I think that's actually correct now
[01:17] <fa4anaheim> Well it opens, but I can't save it...also, I get several lines of "X Error: BadWindow"
[01:23] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- the X errors can probably be ignored. Why can't you save the file though?
[01:24] <fa4anaheim> Good question...says the file is "Protected" and I do not have permission...
[01:24] <nok> I am Extremely new to Kubuntu wondering if any would mind helping me
[01:24] <fa4anaheim> nok - with what?
[01:24] <Fanfare> nok: whats your prob?
[01:25] <nok> Am i able to download .executables and use them? am getting an error with it.
=== nathaniel_ is now known as gnat56
[01:26] <Fanfare> nok: well executables (*.exe) are windows specific you can try to run them with wine
[01:26] <Fanfare> nok: www.winehq.org
=== starcraft is now known as starcraftman
[01:26] <nok> ok ill check it out thanks.
[01:27] <Fanfare> nok: try to find an linux alternative!
[01:27] <millun_> hi, how can i make pulseaudio work again?
[01:27] <fa4anaheim> nok - an executable in linux is created when you compile from source, did you download the source file?
[01:27] <nok> not sure for the specific program i didnt see a source fille just the .exe
[01:28] <Fanfare> nok what app?
[01:28] <nok> youll probably laugh but Fulltiltpoker
[01:28] <fa4anaheim> nok - from a website? I would try using an rpm manager...are you using gnome or kde?
[01:28] <nok> My system is pretty crappy and runs slow on windows so thought i would try kub and is alot better
[01:28] <nok> gnome i beleive
=== m4v is now known as mkv
[01:29] <Fanfare> nok: well, kde has nice card games :-) try to query appdb.winehq.org
[01:30] <nok> trying to play with real money ;)
[01:30] <Fanfare> appdb has instructions on how to install windows apps in linux...
[01:31] <Fanfare> if u have any probs with wine, ask there then... #wine
[01:32] <Fanfare> sry  #winehq
[01:32] <nok> Well thanks fanfare preciate the help like i said new to linux period just installed it today.
[01:34] <Fanfare> nok: np ur welcome. this is kubuntu channel. (ubuntu + KDE) if u have gnome, the chose #ubuntu
[01:34] <the_cyber_guy> is there any way to just download the package from kpackage kit and not to install them
[01:36] <Fanfare> the_cyber_guy: not kpackagekit, but apt-get
[01:36] <the_cyber_guy> how ?
[01:36] <Fanfare> man:apt-get its the -d option
[01:46] <fa4anaheim> "Permission Denied" as root..?!
[01:49] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- yeah, that's weird
[01:49] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- what file are you trying to edit?
=== Shadow_mil is now known as Kage_Jittai
[01:51] <fa4anaheim> It is the file that determines the state of the "Function" key on my Apple keyboard. Right not it is set to 1 which means I must hold the FN key for any of the F1-F19 keys to work. I am trying to change it to 2 which is opposite...
[01:51] <fa4anaheim> /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
[01:54] <Dragnslicer> Do "ls /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode" and give us the single line it shows
[01:56] <fa4anaheim> Ok...fnmode is the file...but if I do "ls /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters" it shows just "fnmode"
[01:57] <Dragnslicer> Oops, sorry
[01:57] <fa4anaheim> That's cool...
[01:57] <Dragnslicer> ls -al /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
[01:57] <fa4anaheim> ...stand by...
[01:57] <Dragnslicer> I forget that not everyone has -al aliased in to ls
[01:58] <fa4anaheim> "-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2009-12-20 19:45 /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode"
[02:03] <rejohn1> Is it considered safe do do the KU 904 > 910 upgrade now?
[02:07] <rejohn> test
[02:07] <fa4anaheim> sup
[02:08] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- that's odd. Doesn't look like there should be anything stopping you from editing the file
[02:08] <fa4anaheim> I know right...what about tcsh..? Overwrite maybe..?
[02:08] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- you could try "sudo nano /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode" and see if that works for you
[02:09] <fa4anaheim> Ok...
[02:11] <fa4anaheim> [ Error writing /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode: Permission denied ] WTF?!
[02:13] <Dragnslicer> That is bizarre
[02:13] <fa4anaheim> I know...
[02:13] <Dragnslicer> Okay, try this
[02:13] <Dragnslicer> sudo cp /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode.new
[02:13] <fa4anaheim> Ok...
[02:14] <fa4anaheim> "cp: cannot create regular file `/sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode.new': No such file or directory"
[02:17] <Fanfare> do i get that right, that file contains blanks?
[02:17] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- hm, I get the same result (different directory under /sys/module though)
[02:18] <fa4anaheim> Really...
[02:18] <Dragnslicer> You'd think I would know this, but I'd guess that /sys/module is a special directory
[02:18] <Dragnslicer> Have you looked at this page- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard
[02:20] <fa4anaheim> Thanks for all the help Dragon, I'm going to read through the link you gave me. If I'm still stuck I might give you a shout. Thanks again!
[02:22] <rejohn1> Is it considered safe do do the KU 904 > 910 upgrade now?
[02:23] <Dragnslicer> fa4anaheim- there's a section there about how to change it permanently
[02:23] <fa4anaheim> That's what I need...
[02:26] <Fanfare> rejohn1: upgrade should work ok, no raisefs4 nor grub2 then, but should work
[02:26] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: It was considered safe when 9.10 was released. What are your concerns?
[02:27] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: I read that there were problems, maybe w/ Ub 9.10
[02:28] <Fanfare> rejohn1: run 9.10 live cd see if everything works
[02:29] <rejohn1> I'm running KU 9.04 with the KDE 4 updates from the launchpad ppa, installed maybe 0906.  Are there any special instructions for doing the upgrade from that to the standard KU 9.10?
[02:29] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: There will always be problems. you are upgrading a few thousand programs along with settings and new kernels nderlying all of them. If there were no problems the world would implode from the gasp of surprise
=== fernando is now known as Guest82139
[02:29] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: I'm just trying to ensure the major bugs are out of the upgrade process to 9.10
[02:29] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: The upgrade will disable the ppa. The packages in 9.10 are newer so it should be a clean upgrade
[02:30] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: so, i just follow the regular upgrade process, no special instructions cause i ws using the later kde?
[02:30] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: What would be wise is to check your hardware compatibilty. There were some driver regressions so check out any problems with your wifi sound and video card in 9.10
[02:30] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: No changes needed
[02:31] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: check out using the live cd, or in what way?
[02:31] <DaskreeCh> Fanfare: That's for you ^^6
[02:48] <dunga> hi guys! how can I find out what's wrong with my Linux installation. It freezes a lot and I have to REISUB or physically power off to get it back. It does that a lot
[02:52] <francisco_> hello there
[02:52] <rejohn1> After I asked my question above about upgrading to 9.10, I had a konqueror window pop up with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions  - was that window pop up caused by a command from someone in this channel?
[02:53] <francisco_> can anybody help me with a big issue with my wifi in kubuntu 9.10
[02:55] <DaskreeCh> dunga: Video card drivers
[02:55] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: not by me
[02:55] <DaskreeCh> !wifi | francisco__
[02:55] <ubottu> francisco__: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:55] <DaskreeCh> hi _2
[02:55] <_2> what is going on fellowz
[02:55] <_2> DaskreeCh shalom
[02:56] <_2> long C  no time
[02:56] <DaskreeCh> I know
[02:56] <DaskreeCh> Been out of the helping people thing for a while
[02:56] <DaskreeCh> !wifi | francisco__
[02:56] <DaskreeCh> Curses
[02:56] <francisco_> yes sorry i am new in this matter
[02:56] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:57] <_2> what are the new specs ?   kubuntu 9.10 ?   kde 4.??? ?
[02:59] <dunga> Daskreech: sorry - thought nobody was active. my graphic adapter, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controlle
[02:59] <DaskreeCh> _2: specs? Specs would be for 10.04
[02:59] <_2> i'm still using 6.6 dapper drake    on three boxen   debian etch on another.   just wondering what the latest "common problems" were.
[03:00] <DaskreeCh> dunga: Switch your driver to vesa and sit out 3D for 9.10
[03:00] <_2> and is 10.4 an lts release ?
[03:00] <DaskreeCh> _2: Right so you canre about 10.04
[03:00] <DaskreeCh> Yes it is
[03:00] <_2> cool i'll have to uptoit
[03:01] <DaskreeCh> dunga: The Intel driver went nuts for that chipset sometime in 9.04 and got worse in 9.10 It should be fixed by Feb so 10.04 will be stable again (hopefully)
[03:01] <DaskreeCh> _2: it's in alpha right now
[03:01] <dunga> DaskreeCh: I use Mint 7 based on Jaunty. Let me see what happens when I switch to VESA.  Thanks a lot for helping
[03:02] <_2> heh  ten four   sounds like a release for a citicens band distro  :>
[03:02] <_2> DaskreeCh kubuntu+1 ?
[03:02] <DaskreeCh> _2: Hopefully it will arrest some problems :)
[03:02] <DaskreeCh> _2: KDE 4.4 was just merged in and is on the road for being a fine release
[03:03] <DaskreeCh> _2: you've been avoiding KDE 4 up until now?
[03:04] <_2> DaskreeCh avoiding "fixing what isn't broken" more than anything else.
[03:04] <DaskreeCh> _2: Well if you like KDE 3 has an unsupported repo in 10.04
[03:04] <DaskreeCh> !kde3
[03:04] <ubottu> Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at  https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page
[03:04] <DaskreeCh> ha that needs to be updated
[03:05] <Roasted> anybody good with kdenlive?
[03:05] <iconmefisto> there's lots of kubuntu stuff that needs updating, things have been moving fast in the last year or so
[03:06] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: do you know if people in the channel have to capability to cause konq to pop up with that url?
[03:06] <DaskreeCh> KDE moves quite fast Ubuntu Docs are getting to be quite the unmainteind forest though
[03:07] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: I would doubt it. If someone gave a link and you clicked on it (even unintentionally) it would pop up though
[03:07] <DaskreeCh> Roasted: Want to ask the question?
[03:07] <rejohn1> I see this url: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades/Kubuntu  But, is there a description of a way to upgrade 904 to 910 using the command line?
[03:07] <DaskreeCh> Roasted: also #kdenlive is quite friendly
[03:08] <DaskreeCh> Though they do have a strong tendency to the SVN version which is a good deal better than the latest release
[03:08] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: sudo do-release-upgrade
[03:08] <Roasted> my kdenlive question is very simple - I have a fade out on a picture. Real simple, right? Too bad it doesnt fade out. Its something so small and its enraging me.
[03:09] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: thx - is that process described in a web page someplace?
[03:09] <Roasted> two pictures in a row, 1 fades out, 1 does not, both have the same setting
[03:10] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: on the Ubuntu upgrade page it's the same as the server upgrade
[03:10] <DaskreeCh> Roasted: Same codec?
[03:10] <Roasted> same codec? *shrug*
[03:10] <Roasted> I dont know man. Its my first time using this program.
[03:10] <DaskreeCh> Roasted: I honestly don't know I"m just asking. #kdenlive sounds like a proper place to get a knowledgeable anwser
[03:11] <Roasted> I just added 2 pictures, added face effect, and one works 1 doesnt
[03:11] <Roasted> Im in that chat now
[03:11] <Roasted> nobody is responding
[03:12] <DaskreeCh> Roasted: It's a much smaller channel can't expect it lively all the time :)
[03:12] <_2> Roasted are the paciures the same format ?
[03:12] <Roasted> cancel that
[03:12] <Roasted> both of them dont fade out now
[03:12] <Roasted> this is ungodly frustrating
[03:12] <Roasted> such a smallt hing
[03:13] <Roasted> I assume so, they were taken with the same camera to the best of my memory
[03:13] <Roasted> all JPG's
[03:13] <DaskreeCh> Ah pictures
[03:13] <Roasted> yeah
[03:13] <Roasted> tryin to make my lady friend a slide show for Christmas :P
[03:14] <DaskreeCh> Hmm again I have no ideas as to how this stuff works but perhaps try making one fade out a second or so after the other
[03:14] <Roasted> well isnt that friendly of them
[03:14] <Roasted> I posted in the chat
[03:14] <Roasted> "hey guys"
[03:14] <Roasted> their response was "were not here". Oh. Okay. Thank you.
[03:15] <DaskreeCh> Whichversion are you using btw?
[03:15] <Roasted> 0.7.3 on KDE 4.3.2
[03:18] <webbb82_> hey i am trying to install the plasma-netbook files   but im getting a dependencie problem  does kubuntu netbook work in kde 4.4?
[03:21] <webbb82_> plasma-netbook-dpg wont install

[03:23] <_2> regex question   howto find piriod followed by any char except space ?  >looking.for< >but. not<
[03:23] <iconmefisto> francisco_: lshw -C network
[03:24] <Dragnslicer> _2- \.[^ ]

[03:27] <rejohn1> lsb_release -a //  No LSB modules are available.  Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 Codename: jaunty
[03:28] <rejohn1> Any ideas?
[03:29] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: try typing sudo lshw -C network
[03:29] <francisco_> iconmefisto this command it is useful for wifi too
[03:29] <francisco_> thanks Daskreech trying right now
[03:29] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Umm hold on
[03:29] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: thanks, holding
[03:30] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: can you tell me if sudo do-release-upgrade -d finds 10.04 ?
[03:31] <francisco_> Daskreech this is useful for wifi too
[03:32] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: yes. If you are not seeing anything check if you hardware kill switch is off
[03:32] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: it's working, doing some downloading
[03:32] <francisco_> how can i do that cause it is not present
[03:33] <Zenith88> hi! Does anybody know how to change text console resolution? I tried vga=ask kernel argument, but it results in 'vga=ask is deprecated' message. Also tried directly using mode ## from grub vesa info command, did not work too.
[03:33] <francisco_> it is appear off in led wifi
[03:33] <francisco_>  has to be off how can i turn on
[03:34] <_2> mine has a switch on the case...
[03:34] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Woah stop it
[03:34] <francisco_> switch is on my dear
[03:34] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: it did not mention 1004.  it did say:
[03:34] <rejohn1> 18 packages are going to be removed. 163 new packages are going to be
[03:34] <rejohn1> installed. 921 packages are going to be upgraded.
[03:35] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: flick it on and off
[03:35] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: did you type do-release-upgrade -d ?
[03:35] <francisco_> how please
[03:35] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: I don't know I dont' know what kind of laptop you have
[03:36] <DaskreeCh> Zenith88: Koala?
[03:36] <francisco_> hp 6925la
[03:36] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: as root, i typed:  "root@ :~/apt# do-release-upgrade -d"
[03:36] <Zenith88> DaskreeCh: yes, 9.10
[03:37] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: That should upgrade you to 10.04 so please don't let it continue
[03:37] <DaskreeCh> Zenith88: You'd have to follow the grub2 not the grub sequence I think
[03:38] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: thanks,  btw, i've beeen doing "apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade" for months, to get the latest packages.  Any suggestions?
[03:38] <Zenith88> DaskreeCh: Sorry, I am new to this whole grub thing. What exactly do I have to do? And  I guess it's related - how can I boot into text only mode?
[03:39] <Zenith88> DaskreeCh: I tried telinit, but it's quite different than SysV init, sometimes it will switch modes on me, sometimes not...
[03:40] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: umm use sudo?
[03:40] <DaskreeCh> Suggestions for what?
[03:40] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: how to upgrade to 910.,
[03:40] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: I was root, so i shouldn't need to do sudo.
[03:40] <DaskreeCh> Zenith88: Umm I'd guess you need to sit somewhere between #upstart and #grub to get your answer
[03:41] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: what does do-release-upgrade say?
[03:41] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: do-release-upgrade  Checking for a new ubuntu release  No new release found
[03:41] <Zenith88> DaskreeCh: That went over my head
[03:42] <DaskreeCh> Zenith88: join #grub and ask there. If you hit on problem then #upstart may be helpful
[03:42] <DaskreeCh> But you should probably start in #grub
[03:43] <DaskreeCh> Did you upgrade to 9.10 or did you do a clean install?
[03:43] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: can you pastebin the output of sudo lshw ?
[03:44] <Zenith88> DaskreeCh: Thx!
[03:45] <_2> Zenith88 i would think that console size is a kernel "thang" maybe asking in #linux #kernel or #linuxhelp would be more productive
[03:46] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: any suggestion on how to get the upgrade to 910 going properly?
[03:49] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: was that a suggestion from you that i should join #upstart?
[03:51] <iconmefisto> rejohn1: have you tried sudo do-release-upgrade as normal user?
[03:51] <rejohn1> iconmefisto: no, i can try that, though.  I did the dru as root.
[03:54] <rejohn1> iconmefisto: same result as before, when doing dur as normal user:  no new release found.
[03:54] <rejohn1> iconmefisto: suggestions for getting the upgrade to work?
[03:54] <iconmefisto> same result for the gui method?
[03:55] <rejohn1> iconmefisto: DaskreeCh btw, i have 904 with the launchpad ppa update for kde 4 in my sources.list. - in case that matters.
[03:56] <rejohn1> iconmefisto: i haven't tried the gui method, because i prefer to do console update, so i can script save the output, in case i need to debug something,
[03:56] <rejohn1> iconmefisto: i could try it, though.
[03:57] <iconmefisto> alt-F2, and type update-notifier-kde -u
[03:58] <rejohn1> iconmefisto: did you see DaskreeCh 's note to me indicating that by one command he suggested, it was going to try to do an upgrade to 10.04?  I want to make sure the gui method doesn't doan upgrade to 10.04
[03:58] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Ah right. Ok so lets try update manager
[03:58] <Werenerd> I am drawing a blank here guys. I have something that is using up to 2.
[03:58] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: are you telling me i should not do the gui method?
[03:58] <Werenerd> 2.5 mbit of my eth0
[03:59] <Werenerd> Is there an application that will identify what is using the network device?
[03:59] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: what is your current suggestion for me - how use the update manager?
[04:00] <DaskreeCh> Werenerd: snort
[04:00] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Ah seems they may have taken out update-manager
[04:00] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: ok, go on
[04:00] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: I think you are set to only update to LTS

[04:01] <Werenerd> DaskreeCh: aside from that being funny,  what do you think of that app?
[04:01] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: hmm.  1) why? 2) how? 3) how can i get upgraded to 9.10?
[04:02] <DaskreeCh> Werenerd: It's well known and pretty well renowned. You can try wireshark as well though that's more a of a network hacking monitor
[04:02] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: does alt+F2 -> update-notifier-kde -u find 9.10 ?
[04:03] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: oh umm can you check if update-manager-core is installed?
[04:04] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh:    alt+F2 -> update-notifier-kde -u   says: no new upgrade availale
[04:05] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: ii  update-manager-core         1:0.111.10                  manage release upgrades
[04:06] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: suggestions?
[04:08] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: grep rompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[04:09] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: Prompt=normal
[04:09] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: What does it say?
[04:09] <DaskreeCh> Curses!
[04:10] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: one of those days, eh?  what's the prolem?
[04:11] <DaskreeCh> after this it's starting to look at network proxy issues I think
[04:11] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: ok, here's a thought:
[04:11] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: right now i'm direct on the internet,
[04:12] <DaskreeCh> right
[04:12] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: but, usually i connect with celll phone isp,
[04:12] <DaskreeCh> Ah yeah perhaps
[04:12] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: that isp has a proxy,
[04:13] <Werenerd> DaskreeCh: actually, you lead me down the right path. I think Etherape will do teh trick for me. Unfortunately it is a GTK app
[04:13] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: which has required me to set up something for apt, to get through that proxy,
[04:13] <DaskreeCh> sudo http_proxy="http://ip:port" do-release-upgrade
[04:13] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: I haven't disabled that, iirc.  i sset it up  a long time ago & i'm not sure exactly what or where the setting is, prob in /etc/apt?
[04:14] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: I'm confused as to why -d works though
[04:16] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: actually, checking /etc/apt, i now _donot_ have that file (apt.conf) in place.  I've renamed that file to .back, so the "Acquire::http::Proxy "http://wap.metropcs.net:3128/";" line is _not_ in place right now.
[04:17] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: i renamed that file a month ago, probably to let me apt-update on the direct inet connection.
[04:18] <DaskreeCh> and apt-cache policy  kubuntu-desktop says wht is the candidate?
[04:18] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: actually, i'm accessing the inet through a wireless network, so i'm not wired to the net, but iirc there is no proxy blocking my computer even though i'm using wifi.
[04:20] <DaskreeCh> ^^^^ rejohn1
[04:21] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: kubuntu-desktop:  Installed: 1.122   Candidate: 1.122   Version table:  *** 1.122 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages  100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[04:22] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: thoughts?
[04:23] <DaskreeCh> kick sudo do-release-upgrade ?
[04:23] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: meaning?  "kidk"? -- is that a command?
[04:24] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: no I mean find very thick shoes and kick the commands behind as hard as you can then shout "Get to work" at it
[04:26] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: as root, not using sudo, "do-release-upgrade" > "no new release found"
[04:26] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: I'm guessing you ran apt-get update already?
[04:26] <rejohn1> rejohn: yes
[04:26] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: "apt-get update"  then "apt-get dist-upgrade"  erarlier today
[04:27] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: suggestions?
[04:27] <DaskreeCh> I"m sorely tempted to do a manual upgrade
[04:28] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: how many steps, aprox, is that?  &, does the "do-r-u" thing run a script that checks stuff, & moves stuff around, etc?
[04:29] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: where's the procedure for manual upgrade - url?
[04:29] <DaskreeCh> There is none
[04:30] <DaskreeCh> It's just something I used to do before I got lazy and did things the supported way
[04:30] <DaskreeCh> what does do-release-upgrade -m say ?
[04:30] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: what's your position in the KU project? just a user, or do you work for cannonical?
[04:30] <DaskreeCh> what does do-release-upgrade -m desktop sorry
[04:32] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh:  Checking for a new ubuntu release  No new release found
[04:32] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: basically no one in KU works for Canonical
[04:32] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1:  replace desktop with server
[04:33] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: what do you think the cause of my upgrade inability is: is it a Ub or KUb issue?
[04:34] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: 2) replace d w server:  do you mean using a sw upgrade procedure, or by doing a reinstall ala from cd?
[04:34] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: 3) might i just dl & install KU 910 from cd?
[04:35] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: do-release-upgrade -m server is what I mean
[04:37] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: pull http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/9.10/kubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso while we wait
[04:38] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade
[04:38] <fa4anaheim> I need help applying a patch...
[04:41] <DaskreeCh> hi francisco_
[04:41] <fa4anaheim> ...
[04:41] <francisco_> hi
[04:41] <DaskreeCh> fa4anaheim: and?
[04:41] <francisco_> sorry i was trying to solve the problem i have with your directions
[04:42] <fa4anaheim> I need help applying a patch...
[04:42] <DaskreeCh> fa4anaheim: ok
[04:42] <fa4anaheim> It's for the apple keyboard, specifically the "FN" key...
[04:43] <DaskreeCh> right
[04:44] <lordars> hola kopete 0.80.2 dice que soporta webcam pero no envia ni resive alguien sabe como puedo hacer
[04:44] <fa4anaheim> I have the .gz in my home dir
[04:44] <iconmefisto> !es | lordars
[04:44] <ubottu> lordars: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.
[04:45] <DaskreeCh> fa4anaheim: ok good
[04:45] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: what's the problem?
[04:46] <fa4anaheim> So I "gunzip xkb-apple-aluminium-kdb-iso.patch.gz | patch -p1...
[04:46] <DaskreeCh> right
[04:47] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: "No new release found"
[04:47] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: i'm dl'ing the cd. any other suggestions? any idea what the cause of the problem is?
[04:47] <fa4anaheim> ...and I get this, "gzip: xkb-apple-aluminium-kdb-iso.patch: unknown suffix -- ignored"
[04:48] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: None. It should check the version of some of your key files and check that against the server
[04:48] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: can you run grep armi /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:52] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: finds nothing matching
[04:53] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Ok that's good
[04:54] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: who writes the "do-release-upgrade"? Ub, or KUB people?
[04:56] <DaskreeCh> ub
[04:56] <DaskreeCh> You can open it in a text editorand look at it
[04:58] <McLinux> hi hi.. i'm a new kde4 user
[04:59] <McLinux> i'm usually a GNOME user, i am just trying out KDE4.. was wondering if anyone here has experience in setting Kubuntu (KDE4) up for netbooks...
[05:00] <DaskreeCh> francisco_: can you run lsmod | grep b43 ?
[05:00] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: you mean the netbook edition of KDE ?
[05:00] <francisco_> ok wait
[05:00] <McLinux> i have the ubuntu netbook remix.. just installed kubuntu-desktop
[05:00] <McLinux> its a little tight for space (particularyl on taskbar, etc)
[05:01] <francisco_> yes nothing appear DaskreeCh
[05:01] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: sudo apt-get install plasma-netbook
[05:01] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: suggestions?  Do you think someone in #ubuntu might have a valueable insight on this?
[05:02] <DaskreeCh> I think it's possible but I think they would be as confused
[05:02] <McLinux> hm
[05:02] <McLinux> what exactly is that.. i've just installed it
[05:03] <McLinux> relog and see the difference ?
[05:03] <DaskreeCh> Blah
[05:05] <papashou> oh i see
[05:05] <papashou> rahter interesting
=== papashou is now known as McLinux
[05:05] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: what do you do IRL ;)
[05:05] <McLinux> there's still a taskbar on the bottom + icons on the top?
[05:06] <Roasted> so, Im a little confused about something. Im on two laptops right now. a mac, and a kubuntu laptop. Tthe mac sees my samba server. The kubuntu laptop does not. Why??
[05:07] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Curse programs that don't do  what they say they should do
[05:08] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: press alt+F2 and type kquitapp plasma-desktop
[05:08] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: Does the taskbar go away?
[05:08] <Tiders> Ive been looking into it and Kubuntu looks a like it might be a lot "prettier" for my gaming box... Will I lose any speed and how hard is it to get used ot the new environment?
[05:08] <McLinux> yea it does that worked, interesting
[05:09] <McLinux> i guess i have another question.. the top bar (for kubuntu-netbook).. disappears wehn i go into an app
[05:09] <McLinux> is that typical?
[05:11] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: press alt+F2 and type plasma-netbook
[05:11] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: apps run full screen I think
[05:12] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: what company do you curse programs for?
[05:13] <DaskreeCh> Alteroo Consulting
[05:13] <McLinux> yeah not automatically though, it seems that ubuntu's default netbook remix is a little more predictable
[05:13] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: If you think that a certain action should be omni present file a bug on it
[05:14] <McLinux> i'm not going to file bugs until i understand how it functions well enough to file bugs on it.
[05:14] <McLinux> otherwise i'll add about 100 of them.
[05:15] <DaskreeCh> That's fine :)
[05:16] <McLinux> do you speak for the kde developers /
[05:17] <DaskreeCh> the kde developers speak for the kde developers
[05:17] <McLinux> so?
[05:17] <Tiders> How hard is it to get used to KDE compared to GNOME?
[05:17] <McLinux> i don't care if they speak for themselves.
[05:17] <McLinux> prob not hard at all, Tiders.. there are subtle differences but nothing like trying to push black buttons o na black screen.
[05:18] <McLinux> It's a matter of learning how it is set up and works.
[05:18] <DaskreeCh> Tiders: umm used to it? I dunno some people may never become used to it
[05:18] <Tiders> McLinux, One thing I dont understand... Do Ubuntu programs run on KDE?  Like I notice a lot of programs that are seperate does that mean things like Cedega or Crossover installed from .debs wont run?
[05:18] <DaskreeCh> They are both fairly easy to figure out
[05:18] <McLinux> anyways.. on the "home" screen.. am I supposed to see running apps in the box in the top middle ?
[05:18] <DaskreeCh> Tiders: All programs can run under both
[05:18] <McLinux> Tiders: you can run GNOME apps on KDE and vice versa.. provided you have all the libraries required.
[05:19] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: If you have apps running then yes
[05:19] <McLinux> Ok, cuz I do..a nd I don't see it there.
[05:19] <Tiders> McLinux, Oh so its just the included libraries that differentiate?
[05:19] <McLinux> The "By default" libraries, yes...
[05:20] <McLinux> really if you're running under GNOME you would try and stick to GNOME/GTK apps because that would be 'quicker' to load..
[05:20] <DaskreeCh> because Gnome already is using those libraries and has them loaded
[05:20] <McLinux> KDE apps would then appear to suffer a loading time penalty because it has to load all the libs that wasn't loaded in the absence of KDE4 desktop environment
[05:20] <DaskreeCh> opposite is true under KDE of course
[05:20] <Tiders> McLinux, But things like Crossover would still work?
[05:21] <McLinux> yes absolutely
[05:21] <McLinux> i don't think crossover is kde/gnome dependant
[05:23] <Tiders> McLinux, Hmm.. And umm hmm how does KDE work with dual displays?
[05:23] <Tiders> Same as Gnome pretty much?
[05:24] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: thanks for your help. :)  Do you get paid to do this, or are you a volunteer?
[05:24] <DaskreeCh> volunteer
[05:25] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: yr 1 bz volunteer ;)
[05:25] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: any further suggestions?
[05:25] <DaskreeCh> This is a slow time you shoudl see the week after a release
[05:25] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: I can't think of anything other than a file corruption or something's up on the servers
[05:26] <DaskreeCh> When the ISO is done I can try and do an upgrade from that
[05:26] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: i just finished dling the desktop & alternate - suggestions?
[05:27] <Tiders> SO Pidgin is Gnome dependant?
[05:28] <kedster> hello
[05:29] <DaskreeCh> Tiders: it used Gtk but no Gnome Libraries
[05:29] <DaskreeCh> it's not a Gnome application
[05:30] <Tiders> Will only THAT application run slower
[05:30] <Tiders> Or all if I have that installed / open
[05:30] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: do you have a Cd in the drive?
[05:30] <DaskreeCh> Tiders: It will not run slower it will open slower once it's open it will be the same as you are normally used to
[05:32] <McLinux> i <3 cheese and crackers
[05:34] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: I only have the dl on the hdisk.  I don't have a blank cd here.  I'll have to go home & burn cds tonight.  Can this be done from the iso on hd, or do i need a burned cd?
[05:35] <iconmefisto> you can mount the iso
[05:35] <iconmefisto> !iso
[05:35] <ubottu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[05:35] <McLinux> !md5

[05:36] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: we can upgrade from the HDD
[05:36] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Linux is ammmmmmaaaaazing
[05:36] <McLinux> is it really? how does it stack up against Windows 7?
[05:36] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: should I get the iso mounted now?
[05:37] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: Well ithas an operating system for one....
[05:37] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0
[05:37] <DaskreeCh> Or where ever you downloaded it to
[05:38] <McLinux> need to figure out why apps aren't populating the box in the middle
[05:38] <McLinux> i don't know that it is working reliably..
[05:39] <DaskreeCh> I'm installing now so I can get an idea what you are seeing
[05:39] <DaskreeCh> I'm on KDE 4.4 though
[05:40] <McLinux> according to the kubuntu site, app switching is only partially implemented
[05:40] <iconmefisto> DaskreeCh: kde 4.4 on karmic? or the next release (is it lynx?)
[05:40] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: you see a page one in the middle?
[05:40] <Tiders> I think the hardest thing in KDE to get used to will be the taskbar being on the bottom
[05:40] <McLinux> lucid lynx?
[05:40] <DaskreeCh> iconmefisto: Karmic
[05:40] <McLinux> i'm using karmic
[05:40] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: kdesudo "sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade
[05:41] <iconmefisto> DaskreeCh: from ppa? do you have a link?
[05:41] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: app switchers are on the right
[05:41] <McLinux> DaskreeCh: unless there's another way to see what apps you have running
[05:41] <DaskreeCh> iconmefisto: www.kubuntu.org
[05:41] <McLinux> on the right?
[05:42] <McLinux> clickin the "Applications" thing.. only brings up a menu
[05:42] <McLinux> for widget settings
[05:45] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: ok I have from left to right on the taskbar Searchand Launch, Page one , Systray, Clock, Runing applicatiosn
[05:45] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: Is that what you are seeing?
[05:46] <McLinux> this is kubuntu netbook we're talkinng about, daskree ?
[05:47] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: thanks, i'm working to do the MD5 check on the iso
[05:48] <DaskreeCh> McLinux: yes
[05:53] <g_giulio> hi guys some1 can help me please with ktorrent...is not a setting problem but a strart problem with kde4,please.
[05:54] <DaskreeCh> g_giulio: More info
[05:54] <g_giulio> ùok, i've try to reinstall some times.. when i start my cpu 100%power
[05:54] <g_giulio> and
[05:55] <g_giulio> it don't work...
[05:55] <g_giulio> to stop i've to kill in top on a bash
[05:55] <DaskreeCh> Only Ktorrent does this?
[05:55] <g_giulio> but i can see it ...
[05:55] <g_giulio> jap only
[05:56] <DaskreeCh> sounds like you have a rogue tracker.
[05:56] <DaskreeCh> try moving the data from where it's downloading and stopping the torrents the next time ktorrent loads
[05:56] <g_giulio> rogue=broken?
[05:56] <DaskreeCh> You can start them one by one to see which one is making Korrent crazy
[05:56] <g_giulio> ok it was my  idea too,but i don't
[05:57] <g_giulio> know where they are...
[05:57] <DaskreeCh> You don't know where you were downloading them to?
[05:57] <g_giulio> jap 4 me i can erase and cancell all but i don't know where they are...
[05:57] <DaskreeCh> Well then try pluggin the computer out from the network then starting it
[05:58] <g_giulio> i've just done it...
[05:58] <g_giulio> restart too
[05:59] <g_giulio> maybe are the local  part of download... but i don't know where they are on kubuntu...
[06:00] <g_giulio> i've try in tem and local folder but none i have seen...
[06:00] <DaskreeCh> g_giulio: rename ~/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc to something else then start ktorrent
[06:01] <g_giulio> ok now i try.thanks
[06:01] <g_giulio> sorry but start or  reinstall?
[06:01] <g_giulio> now i don't have ktorrent...
[06:04] <DaskreeCh> you don't have it?
[06:04] <g_giulio> now i've  cancel on my pc...
[06:05] <g_giulio> cancell and reinstall is my first try... now it isn't in my pc...
[06:06] <g_giulio> with synaptic..not alone...
[06:06] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: is it possible to boot into the desktop iso on my HD, to see if that will run on my HW, before doing an install or upgrade?
[06:08] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: The Alternate CD doesn't work like that. It's not a desktop environment
[06:08] <Tiders> Why are fonts displaying TINY TINY in Kubuntu?
[06:08] <DaskreeCh> Maybe they are set tiny?
[06:08] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: I said "desktop" cd. I've dl'd both. -is it possible to run from the dt iso?
[06:09] <Tiders> DarkriftX, Like even for this IRC client I can BARELY read the text its PUNy I have to move closer to the screeen
[06:09] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: In theory yes
[06:12] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: & in practice?
[06:13] <DaskreeCh> I don;t know I only tried it once

[06:14] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: both iso's md5's match,
[06:17] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: er, do you think those links show how to maount an _iso on the hd_ to be able to boot into that desktop iso ?
[06:18] <DaskreeCh> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html
[06:18] <DaskreeCh> That does
[06:24] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: er, that's for _installing_ from the alter iso image on hd.  I was asking: is there a way to _boot_ from the Desktop (or alternate) iso which is on hd, without installing it, in order to ensure the sw works with the hw, without a physical cd being used. Is there a way to do that?
[06:27] <DaskreeCh> rejohn1: Thre was away to boot from Deskto drive. It's noted in hte arttivls
[06:28] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: noted in which archives? where do i find that?
[06:31] <g_giulio> DaskreeCh: it doesn't work.. but now i'm trying in another way.thanks too much as well
[06:39] <iconmefisto> DaskreeCh, did you solve everyone's problems? so quiet suddenly
[06:42] <DaskreeCh> I guess so
[06:44] <g_giulio> and we love 4 this...hahaha
[06:44] <g_giulio> sorry my silly but in italy are 7:30 and tonigh i've no sleep...
[06:48] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: noted in which archives? where do i find that?
[06:51] <rejohn1> DaskreeCh: thanks for your help - gotta get to sleep. Maybe i'll get bacck her abbout this in a day or few. :)
[06:54] <g_giulio> guys but i've cancel some like 10gb in a microsecond only push shift when i push delete...but kubuntu REALLY erase this file?
[06:55] <iconmefisto> shift + delete? yes, I think that erases the file instead of sending to trash
[06:59] <g_giulio> jap  shift + delete, i used the word "erase" but i don't know the difference betwin cancel and erase... i think there no difference?
[07:01] <g_giulio> sending to the trash=they are in the trash and i can see it in...        shift + delete=delate forever     it's ok?

[08:33] <CQ> hello, I'm trying to add a local printer to my box, but the printer configuration only has options to add network printers ... the printer is shown as a local printer hooked up to the windows host where it was before, but nowhere can I add a local printer it seems.
[08:35] <CQ> the printing manager mentioned here http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/kquickguide/C/ch02s05.html isn't there int eh current version (karmic)
[08:38] <fa4anaheim> <CQ>: Go to System Settings>Printers. There should be a tree on the left...Network & Local...

[08:39] <CQ> the button says "New network printer" and the description "Add a new printer which is connected to your home network or the internet" ... well, that wouldn't sppear to apply to USB printers, but the USB printer is listed under that option ... thats quite confisung ;)

[09:07] <fa4anaheim> CQ: Are you using Samba?
[09:07] <Mamarok> CQ: a bit more precisions would be good, different PCs or from the same with dual boot?
[09:07] <CQ> different PCs... laptop with XP, desktop with karmic
[09:07] <||arifaX> CQ: The user that prints might be not allowed to print on your linux box
[09:07] <CQ> I set it up using the KDE printer configuration wizard
[09:08] <CQ> samba is on teh ubuntu box, but not sure if the printer sharing is using it, could be, as I can browse to the printer through teh network connections from XP
[09:08] <CQ> I have connections to the ubuntu box files, they work, and I can print from that user onthe ubuntu box
[09:10] <fa4anaheim> CQ: I'm not entirely sure but you might need to enable a "guest" account in the workgroup that the printer is on...
[09:12] <CQ> http://paste.ubuntu.com/344021/ here's the part fromteh samba config...
[09:13] <CQ> it doesn't make sense though, because the printer is browseable even though samba says no ... the printer shows up under printers and faxes when browsing via the network browser
[09:17] <fa4anaheim> CQ: Try changing you're Samba settings to allow guests...Windows will prob detect the device even if it can't do anything with it...
[09:20] <CQ> did that, restarted samba, no change...
[09:20] <CQ> reboot maybeß
[09:20] <CQ> ?
[09:23] <fa4anaheim> CQ: Sorry, Yes I would reboot...

[09:32] <CQ> no lchange after the reboot...
[09:34] <fa4anaheim> CQ: Hmm, if you right click on the printer on the Windows machine, what options do you have?
[09:38] <CQ> http://www.brennan.id.au/18-Samba.html -- The "use client driver" allows non root/admin users to view the contents of the print queue on the remote server. This fixes the "Access denied, unable to connect" error that many Windows clients suffer when connecting to Samba printers.
[09:38] <CQ> that solved it.

[09:43] <BIG> If I use wubi to install ubuntu onto my windows Xp, then surf the net through ubuntu say using it's version of mozilla firefox, is that any safer a way (virusfree/spyware free) to surf the net? I'm not talking downloading stuff just looking around...
[09:44] <CQ> big with firefox use adblock, noscript, better privacy and request policy addons... that's pretty safe.
[09:45] <fa4anaheim> BIG: CQ is right, just watch who you are downloading content from.
[09:46] <BIG> noscript sounds the best?
[09:47] <CQ> no, they all do different things... adblock and noscript should be first, then better provacy (long term tracking cookies), then request policy to show you cross site scripting (can be annoying but gives you teh most control)
[09:48] <BIG> so is surfing through ubuntu any safer/better?
[09:48] <CQ> big otherwise if you really feel like playing around, install virtualbox and install ubuntu in that ... then you're in a completely separate OS running under windows, and virtualbox doesn't give access to the underlying drives unless you explicitly allow it.
[09:50] <BIG> Ya that's what i'm thinking is ultra safe haha
=== millun_ is now known as millun
[09:50] <BIG> I download virtual box, then run wubi?
[09:51] <CQ> no, in virtualbox you need to create a new virtual system... read the HOWTOS on teh wesite, they're very good
[09:52] <CQ> in parallel, download the kubuntu distribution (unless you already have the ISO for wubi, then you can use that
[09:54] <BIG> so virtual box will not be emulating ubuntu in windows it will actually be running the real deal?
[09:54] <Vroomfondle> it will be running a distinct instance of Ubuntu, inside a virtual computer within Windows
[09:54] <CQ> yes. you create a say 10GB file that becomes the hard drive, and then the entire OS is in that hard drive and virtualbox runs it
[09:54] <Vroomfondle> (in other words - yes :) )
[09:55] <BIG> biggest advantage to doing all this?
[09:56] <CQ> completely separate sstem, safe from windows, no wubi... I haven't used wubi, so I don't know how separate the ubuntu OS is when running it ...
[09:56] <Vroomfondle> BIG: this way you can't mess up your existing Windows system
[09:56] <CQ> big and if you're paranoid, you can snapshot the virtual OS and return to that state later ...
[09:57] <Vroomfondle> and you can even "checkpoint" your virtualbox system so that if you screw it up, you can just click a button to restore it to a fresh state

[16:02] <kavurt> pulseaudio sucks. I removed it completely
[16:03] <michi_> yeah but then i have a problem with simulatanous playback in different applications
[16:03] <michi_> so i switched to pulseaoudio
[16:03] <Ryguy__> I have three HDDs installed on my computer and on Windows 7 (Which I'm currently on) I can see all three.. Two are partitioned and one has no partitions on it at all. Now in the Kubuntu 9.10 installation, it can only see two HDDs. What's going on? Even when I partition the empty drive to NTFS in Windows, the Kubuntu installation cannot find the drive. I just ran some tests with the Seagate HDD tester and all HDDs passed fine.
[16:04] <Machtin> iconmefisto: right.. i didn't see that. but if i enter text there.. it just displays some broken stuff
[16:07] <michi_> Well can somebody tell me at least if theres a way to enable simultanous playback (like hardware mixing) in kubuntu with ALSA without pulseaudio?
[16:08] <Ryguy__> michi_: Why are you trying to play two things at once?
[16:08] <sayed> slttt tt le mondeeeee
[16:08] <matteo1990> iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated".. any tips?
[16:09] <michi_> Ryguy, for example i like to play Heroes of Newerth (new game with linux client) and also have linux version of teamspeak running. - and just teamspeaks has audio playback and record and no sound in the game
[16:10] <Ryguy__> hm.. Did you try updating ALSA?
[16:10] <michi_> yes have 1.0.22
[16:10] <osos> i had the same problem.
[16:10] <osos> installing pulseaudio fixed it for me.
[16:11] <Ryguy__> yeah he installed pulseaudio but wants to figure out why alsa would do that, I believe
[16:11] <michi_> installing pulseaudio resulted in have no sound at all
[16:11] <michi_> in my case
[16:11] <osos> and you configured it?
[16:11] <Ryguy__> you're using onboard audio or do you have a sound card?
[16:12] <michi_> i have onbourd intel hda sound and a hdmi sound chip on my ati grafic card which i dont use
[16:12] <michi_> i configured it in the way that i unmuted the volumebars
[16:12] <michi_> so i use onboard sound.
[16:13] <osos> the default audio-stream for an application is for some reason rtp multicast.
[16:13] <abhi_> hello
[16:13] <osos> which results in having no sound.
[16:13] <osos> change it to internal audio and voilá
[16:13] <Ryguy__> does your motherboard have linux drivers?
[16:14] <osos> i have a intel hda as well.
[16:14] <jimmy51_> i'm getting failures an any attempt to burn a CD
[16:14] <jimmy51_> fresh kubuntu 9.10 + updates
[16:14] <michi_> oh i try. that thx osos. - i dont use drivers of my motherboard manufacturer.. dont know if there are some... but alsa should be fine with onbourd sound in *.22 version as i read
[16:16] <michi_> osos u said internal audio, I cant find the option.. do u mean i have to enable multicast/rtp sender -> create seperate audio device for multicast ?
[16:18] <osos> when you start an application that needs audio resources pulseaudio automatically takes a hold of the resources
[16:18] <osos> you don't need to generate anything.
[16:19] <osos> volume ctrl -> playback
[16:19] <osos> or output devices.
[16:19] <osos> can't remember which.
[16:19] <iconmefisto> michi_: http://kubuntuguide.org/Karmic#PulseAudio
[16:20] <iconmefisto> pulseaudio really needs a nice looking plasmoid for kde

[16:26] <michi_> strange, i can see the sound bars pitch up and down while playing sound, but i dont hear anything...and yes my speakers are on and loud^^
[16:26] <iconmefisto> michi_: do you have more than one soundcard?
[16:27] <michi_> y, onboard (in use) and ati grafic hdmi chip (dont wanna use)
[16:27] <osos> i have the exact same problem with intel hda.
[16:27] <osos> with the default settings i mean.
[16:27] <osos> w/o pulse
[16:27] <michi_> y onbourd is intel hda with me too
[16:27] <michi_> alsa driver updated on *.22
[16:28] <jimmy51_> i'm running k3b as root because it was givving permission errors.  now as root i keep getting failed burns (it says to try TAO, but TAO doesn't help).  why doesn't this just work like on every other machine i run 9.10 on?
[16:28] <iconmefisto> I couldn't get all sound out of the right soundcard, in the end I disable the soundcard I didn't want
[16:28] <jimmy51_> i've just toasted 16 CD's with different settings on speed, write mode, permissions, etc
[16:30] <michi_> the only way to disable the other soundcard is by removing it, thats what kubuntu does automatically on restart. i did so - but still no sound
[16:30] <michi_> before using pulseaudio onboard sound was working fine... just pulseaudio not
[16:30] <iconmefisto> jimmy51_: try running k3bsetup first
[16:31] <jimmy51_> iconmefisto: i've run that.  it has root and cdrom set, and i've confirmed i'm in cdrom
[16:31] <jimmy51_> i've also just run with sudo in case that were the problem
[16:31] <michi_> another thing i read in forums was to bring pulseaudio at the top of all listed sound devices for it to have first device priority. but still no luck
[16:32] <jimmy51_> i've also just run with sudo in case that were the problem
[16:32] <jimmy51_> (sorry for the dupe)
[16:32] <iconmefisto> jimmy51_: shouldn't need sudo. but in any case, you should use kdesudo for gui programs, not sudo
[16:34] <matteo1990> iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated"..  if i try to run Dmesg i get ( wlan0 connected and then  disassociating by local choice (reason=3) Any TIps?
[16:35] <jimmy51_> iconmefisto: here's my log http://www.pastebin.org/67374
[16:35] <jimmy51_> it says cannot write medium - incompatible format.  it's a CD-R
[16:37] <michi_> Im going to restart - maybe until later

[16:45] <michi__> osos, iconmefisto: sound works! lol dont know what i ve done different but hey, jippii - played around with interal audio device maybe it was that
[16:45] <Machtin> and with "doesn't work" i mean: i can't edit text.. it's screwed up after editing it.
[16:45] <jimmy51_> i'll try a DVD

[16:46] <osos> michi__: :)
[16:46] <iconmefisto> pulseaudio is pretty cool once you get it working properly. I use it to stream sound from my audio-less laptop to my desktop machine
[16:47] <michi__> iconmefisto: well i hope i can claim that to once i get heroes of newerth, teamspeak and kompete simultanously working^
[16:47] <michi__> thx alot for now
[16:47] <jimmy51_> iconmefisto: dvd failed.
[16:48] <jimmy51_> iconmefisto: when i received the machine it had win7 on it and it was able to burn
[16:51] <jimmy51_> iconmefisto: i'll swap into another machine just to make sure it hasn't died
[16:51] <jimmy51_> iconmefisto: shutting down to swap.  have a nice day!

[17:35] <Galvatron> I've got some long-term problems with my Kubuntu 9.04.  When I use Opera and browse a certain website, system hangs and the only responsig thing is "jumping" (not fluently moving) cursor. The other thing is that my monitor suddenly shuts down without reason just before or shortly after loading desktop
[17:36] <Galvatron> My VGA is Radeon 9200SE with open drivers
[17:40] <dariom> Hi guys! Anyone knowing an easy way to configure my scanner buttons?
[17:42] <dariom> Galvatron: have u ever updated your system packages
[17:42] <dariom> or tried kubuntu 9.10?
[17:45] <Galvatron> All up to date
[17:45] <Galvatron> I came back from 9.10 due to X problems
[17:46] <Tiders-> Are the Kubuntu download servers seriously down....
[17:46] <Galvatron> It was pretty unstable
[17:46] <dariom> ah ok, so in 9.10 it was even worse
[17:46] <dariom> bbl..
[17:47] <Galvatron> In 9.10 I must switch to DRI2, to retrieve stability, but it causes serious performance drop
[17:47] <jpedroza> Can anyone point me to a decent XML editor for Kubuntu? I have used Oxygen on Mac and Windows, but am not aware of a GPL compliant editor.
[17:48] <dariom> Galvatron, I would google a little bit around if there is someone else
[17:48] <dariom> with the same problems you told me
[17:48] <Galvatron> I tried, but I don't really know how to ask Google
[17:49] <Galvatron> Plus I'm not sure what causes the problem - X, drivers, Compiz maybe?
[17:49] <Galvatron> X is just my guess
[17:50] <genii> Compiz and KDE don't play well since they both want to grab ahold of the compositing
[17:50] <Galvatron> I disabled Kwin ;)
[17:50] <Galvatron> Fully
[17:55] <HeTo> enabling compositing on kubuntu 9.10 replaces the desktop with blackness
[17:55] <HeTo> so I don't see the wall paper or the folder view I've put on the desktop
[17:56] <HeTo> any ideas?
[17:57] <dariom> HeTo, Galvatron: could be something related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/444139 ??
[17:57] <HeTo> I'm using kwin, and the hardware is a ThinkPad T40p with a Mobility FireGL 9000, using the radeon driver
[17:57] <dariom> even if I don't have any clue of this problem.. was just googling around..
[17:58] <Galvatron> I have 9.04 not 9.10 ;)
[17:59] <HeTo> dariom: the symptoms look correct on that bug
[17:59] <dariom> HeTo: there is also a solution posted
[18:00] <dariom> try with that one, many people reported it to solve your problem
[18:01] <dariom> Galvatron: what about proprietary drivers?
[18:01] <Galvatron> There are none form my VGA
[18:01] <Galvatron> Or rther they don't work with my X
[18:02] <Galvatron> Installing them always ends up with system starting without X etc.

[18:16] <dariom> I'm just a googling expert.. :P
[18:17] <Galvatron> OK

[20:16] <iconmefisto> !grub
[20:16] <ubottu> grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.
[20:16] <jimmy51_> ubuntu_:  i've used supergrub in the past.
[20:17] <yoyo> !grub2
[20:18] <ubottu> GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[20:18] <ubuntu_> iam using Grub1
[20:18] <ubuntu_> jimmy51_: :o ok
[20:18] <ubuntu_> what does SuperGrub do?
[20:20] <jimmy51_> ubuntu_: you download a burnable ISO that is bootable.
[20:20] <ubuntu_> and then it will fix grub or?
[20:21] <jimmy51_> ubuntu_: it can act as your bootloader temporarily, or let you repair what's on your drive
[20:21] <ubuntu_> ah i want to repair my /boot
[20:21] <ubuntu_> or make a new one
[20:27] <ubuntu_> somone know of any good repair grub live CD?
[20:28] <jhutchins> ubuntu_: Pretty much any live CD will work, but you're gonna have to read the directions, nobody's going to fix it for you.
[20:28] <ubuntu_> jhutchins: i was thinking if there was a CD just for making a new GRUB folder

[20:33] <genii> mdk66: Karmic Koala (9.10)
[20:33] <iconmefisto> well that's not the newest
[20:34] <mdk66> so which is ?
[20:34] <iconmefisto> that's the current one
[20:34] <genii> !lucid
[20:34] <ubottu> Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1
[20:34] <iconmefisto> but there's the upcoming 10.4 lucid lynx
[20:34] <mdk66> Ok, thanks all :)
[20:36] <mdk66> but, i gotta 8.04 (full updated) atm, should i install 9.10 ?
[20:38] <genii> mdk66: Probably best to wait until 10.04 has been released for a little bit, and then do a Long-Term-Support to Long-Term-Support upgrade

[20:48] <jimmy51_> (desktop... not laptop)

[20:52] <jimmy51_> (it doesn't list any sensors)

[20:56] <iconmefisto> I don't have lm-sensors, and the plasmoid works for me
[20:56] <jimmy51_> sensors-detect?
[20:57] <genii> jimmy51_: Yes, you have to run the sensors-detect  so it can understand what to monitor
[20:58] <[GuS]> <genii> I think you need lmsensors pre-installed for that ---> is not needed for that plasmoid
[20:59] <jimmy51_> either way, the plasmoid didn't find any sensors
[20:59] <jimmy51_> but sensors-detect did
[20:59] <jimmy51_> maybe i need an app to display the sensors data from lm-sensors?
[21:01] <[GuS]> jimmy51_: if that plasmoid didnt find one, then yes you need lm-sensors
[21:01] <HeTo> meh, my screen is starting to get disturbingly garbled again
[21:01] <sajith> Help needed. I deleted kde panel. How can I get it back??
[21:02] <HeTo> enabling KMS made compositing work at a reasonable speed and with a visible desktop, but it also made everything slowly get garbled
[21:02] <genii> [GuS]: Not sure, I'm not using anything right now (previously used another monitoring plasmoid under 4.1 which required lm-sensors)
[21:02] <[GuS]> genii: that is another history. I am talking about that plasmoid
[21:03] <[GuS]> and that one does not use lm-sensors, but the info of /proc
[21:03] <jimmy51_> hmm
[21:03] <jimmy51_> i still don't get info in the plasmoid, and don't know how to get info from lm-sensors
[21:03] <jimmy51_> lm-sensors isn't a command... what do i use to dump the info?
[21:03] <[GuS]> jimmy51_: maybe you need  to google? :)

[21:25] <AlexanderSupertr> [GuS]: thanks for reply. how can i configure plasma desktop? the pannel keeps disappearing>
[21:29] <AlexanderSupertr> is there a place where current active panles are listed?
[21:31] <sajith> @AlexenderSupertr I'm new to KDE but try in ~.kde/share/config
[21:35] <AlexanderSupertr> sajith: thanks. but there are so many files in there, hard to say which one is of use. :(

[21:59] <rd1381> why i cant add tags to my files in dolphin in ubutnu ??
[22:05] <rd1381> nobody here?
[22:06] <iconmefisto> does ubuntu do tags?
[22:07] <iconmefisto> my guess is that tags are a kde feature, not specific to dolphin
[22:09] <`mOOse`> guys I have a Q about Amarok - anyone know where the lyrics url is stored? Mine doesn't think I'm on the internet, and I'd like to use it - I *just* installed it a little while ago so I'm on my virgin run with it
[22:10] <epimeth> ahoy!
[22:10] <epimeth> how do I add a plasmoid container and define its size and location?
[22:11] <epimeth> I'm using the netbook edition and would like to add a task manager to the bottom of the screen
[22:12] <rd1381> iconmefisto: yes they are kde related and not for gnome. my question is why when i right click on right panel on dolphin ,tags rating and comment are grayed out.i was able to use them in suse
[22:13] <Tiders> Okay Im trying to install a new splash screen but when I click get new tehemes and accept it it doesnt show up in the list of currently installed ones
[22:13] <iconmefisto> `mOOse`: lyrics in amarok work with scripts. you can find the script manager in the tools menu
[22:13] <`mOOse`> I'll take a look iconmefisto - thanks
[22:13] <iconmefisto> rd1381: so are you running kubuntu?
[22:14] <iconmefisto> `mOOse`: ultimate lyrics is the one I use for lyrics

[22:17] <rd1381> iconmefisto: i am running ubuntu but logged in kde
[22:17] <iconmefisto> rd1381: ok, so you have kde installed
[22:17] <rd1381> dahh
[22:17] <rd1381> sry cound resist
[22:18] <iconmefisto> rd1381: I think you have to enable nepomuk in systemsettings>desktop search

[22:18] <rd1381> just a sec
[22:18] <rd1381> can u give me systemsetting command line ?
[22:20] <iconmefisto> rd1381: it's in the menu, but the command is systemsettings
[22:21] <rd1381> oh you are rigth
[22:21] <rd1381> so i have to logg out and log back in?
[22:21] <epimeth> how do I add a plasmoid container and define its size and location? I'm using the netbook edition and would like to add a task manager to the bottom of the screen
[22:21] <iconmefisto> not sure about that rd1381
=== jesse is now known as Guest43016
[22:22] <rd1381> iconmefisto:just one more thing . do you know a search tool that supports searching in tags that i give to files.i prefer a gui and windows like
[22:22] <iconmefisto> epimeth: don't know about netbook edition, but on regular kde you can right-click desktop and add a panel
[22:23] <epimeth> right click does nothing
[22:23] <iconmefisto> rd1381: alt-F2 and type something, it should find commands, files, bookmarks, tags, anything
[22:24] <rd1381> iconmefisto: i meant something like tracker in gnome but more stable and integrated with kde
[22:25] <iconmefisto> I don't really know about tracker
[22:27] <rd1381> it can index files
[22:27] <rd1381> strigi does that right?
[22:27] <Tiders> Is there any way to change the actual login screen and not just the splash?
[22:29] <`mOOse`> iconmefisto:  it's still not seeing the lyric url
[22:29] <epimeth> Tiders: /quit
[22:29] <dodger> hi all :)  so, i just installed the kde 4.4 beta and nepomuk stopped working - the server is running and strigi is indexing, but i don't get tagging functionality in dolphin anymore, and searches for hastag seem to never end
[22:30] <dodger> has anyone had the same issue?
[22:30] <epimeth> sorry tiders
[22:30] <iconmefisto> Tiders: systemsettings, advanced tab, login manager
[22:30] <epimeth> Tiders: I didn't mean to tell you to /quit
[22:30] <Tiders> iconmefisto: Thanks
[22:30] <Tiders> epimeth: Oh I got really confused haha
[22:31] <epimeth> I just meant to quit...
[22:31] <epimeth> dunno why that was directed at you :-)
[22:31] <epimeth> bye :-)
[22:32] <dodger> in fact, i get a 'the nepomuk system is not activated. unable to answer queries without it' message
[22:33] <iconmefisto> `mOOse`: not sure what you mean by lyric url. it should show lyrics of the currently playing track in the lyrics window
[22:34] <OxDeadC0de> hmm in ubuntu 8.10 I went and manually deleted a bunch of /lib/modules/linux folders from old kernel versions, then I went to remove the packages, and now every time I try to use apt-get it says it's going to remove the module packages, but then fatal errors trying to make an initramfs for them when they don't exist anymore..
[22:34] <OxDeadC0de> and I can't get them to be removed from apt-get.. is there some magic cli option I can pass to ignore the errors?
[22:35] <`mOOse`> Could not download lyrics.
[22:35] <`mOOse`> Please check your internet connection.
[22:35] <`mOOse`> Error message:
[22:35] <`mOOse`> Lyrics not found. Sorry.
[22:35] <FloodBotK3> `mOOse`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:36] <`mOOse`> sorry - that's the error iconmefisto
[22:36] <iconmefisto> `mOOse`: that just means it couldn't find the lyrics for the song
[22:37] <`mOOse`> hmm...for lyrics like billie jean or beatles tunes?
[22:37] <iconmefisto> `mOOse`: is the title of the song the actual title, or does it have other words in it?
[22:37] <`mOOse`> no they're actual names of the tunes - out of id3 tags
[22:38] <`mOOse`> I understand where you're going with that line of thinking though
[22:38] <iconmefisto> eg, if the title is Beatles - Get Back - live rooftop version, you should change the title to just "Get Back"
[22:38] <`mOOse`> nothing unusual - no mp3's are being recognised
[22:38] <`mOOse`> ok
[22:38] <`mOOse`> let me try something real plain - brb
[22:41] <Tiders> Is there a program that downloads from FTPs for Kubuntu?
[22:41] <Tiders> Like Filezilla
[22:41] <kubian> like kget?

[23:40] <dkkong> iconmefisto: That's what I had tried. I figured it was my cd, but some googling reveals that several people have had a hard time with it
[23:40] <dkkong> iconmefisto: Nope, separate computer
[23:41] <iconmefisto> dkkong: I've had it happen to me a few times, and I blamed the drive not reading the disk, because the same disk would boot fine on other machines
