[00:01] jmichaelx: Well, a yakuake session and a konsole session are different. What you need to do is look at the configuration file for yakute since you upgrade to determine if the settings have changed. [00:02] How to create an user with no password, in kubuntu ? [00:02] Snowhog: at this point, i am not sure how i would have anything to compare my current files with [00:02] Terbaddo_: you shouldnt... a better approch is to create a user and let kdm log them in without a password [00:02] Terbaddo_: Not possible. A password has to be created, but you can set that new user up for automatic login via KDM. [00:03] Snowhog: you sure it not possible? [00:03] I know that it's not possible, but I think KDM can log an user without pw [00:03] James147: Not 100% sure, but I think it is the case. [00:04] Snowhog: well passwd wont let you :) [00:04] (it's not a sudoer :D ) [00:04] James147: Concider the vulnerabilty of ones OS if it was possible! [00:05] * James147 wonders how the live cd works [00:06] So, how to allow KDM to log my user without needing to enter the password ? [00:06] Snowhog: though it isnt stright forward if it is possible :D [00:06] James147: The LiveCD is already running 'by default' as root. But because it's from a CD/DVD, no changes can be written, so can't be retained. [00:07] Snowhog: ^^ hmm the arch disk lets you log in without a password as root :p [00:07] James147: At least, that's how I understand it. [00:08] James147: Arch isn't Ubuntu/Kubuntu - their philosphy on Root isn't that of Canonical. [00:09] Snowhog: yeah, but they share the same unix style login, so if its possible on arch it should be possible on kubuntu (is what i was getting at) [00:09] ^^ not that I am suggesting it a good idea :) I am just curious now [00:13] James147: On Kubuntu (heck, all the Canonical *buntus) the root account is disabled by default - one has to activate it after an OS installation. One would then be able to configure the Login to 'auto login' the Root user. [00:14] Snowhog: dosnt really matter...was using it as an example of a passwordless login (on command line) [00:16] James147: Because I understand the risk enherent in running 'as root' or logging in 'as root', and I don't care that in *buntu Canonical has chosen to 'protect the user from themselves' - I can gain the permissions 'when needed' and I'm more than comfortable with that. [00:19] Snowhog: seems it is possible.. (to ahve a user with out a password) but involves editing the configs for PAM :) [00:26] James147: That is the power of Linux - that the user *can*, given the knowledge, can tweek it to their liking. :) [00:26] Snowhog: yup :) [00:26] Snowhog: though its still a stupid thing to do on a desktop computer [00:51] hello? [00:53] is this a technical help chat? [00:54] it surely is - for kubuntu [00:56] great thank you.

[04:25] oh, the thread with my detailed query is at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4448590#post4448590 [05:08] I'm not sure of all the 'ins and outs' but what I do know is... kubuntu tends to be way more finicky and secure when it comes to drives. Ubuntu (GDM/unity) with nautilus has a better working arrangement with swappable drives. [05:09] i have to actually mount my ipod in dolphin in order for amarok to see it.

[07:10] nope its staying at 1024 and not going to 1366 [07:10] weird [07:11] I think I might just ditch it and make a new one [07:11] I've had to do that a couple of times in the last few years with messed up toolbars [07:11] click the cashew on the right side of the bottom bar, drag the relevant arrow to the edge of the screen?

[08:09] it doesn't know /sys [08:10] i don't understand the networkmanager app in 11.04. i go to the manager and add my wireless network, but i can't see how i can connect to it [08:10] is it showing ur conn in the available connections list [08:11] in tray networking icon [08:11] on the left it shows the interfaces and on the right connections with an edit box "Enter network name and press " [08:11] ok, the networkmanager has two "faces" the qt config dialog, and tha plasma applet. [08:12] umm, do you see the wireless interface? [08:12] i'm talking about the plasma applet [08:12] yes, the "WLAN interface" is shown on the left [08:13] what is the purpose of the edit box under connections? [08:14] i've added my connection in the "Manage Connections" dialog, but it isn't listed on the right under connections. i though it would... [08:16] edit box is for setting preferences or properties for the connection like dhcp or static ip address etc., including credentials [08:17] venkata: i don't understand, is there a doc somewhere explaining? [08:17] have u configured the connection.. in managed connections... if d connection is a default connection then , it wont show in list of conns [08:18] i've added the connection, i've tried specifying "Connect automatically" as well, but it doesn't show [08:19] can u click on show more button on plasma widget [08:21] yes, then it show the neighbours wifi network. My router is set to not "show" the network name. but i've been using it like this with Kubuntu 10.04 [08:21] network manager applet is seems not responding to changes some times... logout and login again may solve the issue.. [08:22] or change to another plasmoid for networks [08:23] i did restart. why does Kubuntu ship with a broken network manager... [08:23] which plasmoid do you recommend [08:26] i get the impression nobody in the kubuntu community uses a standard setup. it seems a lot of the standard components are broken. is that impression correct? [08:27] networkmanager plasmoid works fine for me [08:28] have you clicked 'show more', kobus_? [08:28] I use pretty much standard everything [08:28] well, I do use FF more than Rekonq [08:29] chromium ftw [08:29] particularly when netflix starts working with it... eventually [08:29] I keep trying it, but FF keeps pulling me back [08:29] if i click on shpw more, the connections pane gets a horizontal scroll bar [08:30] this is a screenshot of what i see if i open the applet: http://imagebin.org/168938 [08:31] If you "manage collections" and click the scan button, does it pick anything up? [08:32] normally I would just click the WLAN interface, but with only "hidden network" showing, not sure what you would connect to [08:32] unless you have set up that hidden network yourself [08:33] no, because i don't "broadcast" the network name. but i do the same on 10.04. i set up a connection with the correct network details. i've done this in kubuntu 10.04, an android phone and an ipad. [08:33] i create a connection, but the connection doesn't show [08:36] this is where i created the connection, i tried doing it twice to see if it would make a difference: http://imagebin.org/168942 [08:37] shouldn't these connection show on the right hand of the applet? [08:40] most of the time i just see the edit box, but sometimes (not often) i get the "hidden network" and sometimes the neighbour's network [08:42] any user documentation on the network mananger? i will try to search again [08:49] http://userbase.kde.org/NetworkManagement [08:52] valorie: thanks [08:52] hope it helps [08:52] if not, try WicD [08:53] that's my fallback if knm is acting up with my system [08:53] haven't had to use it often, but it was a lifesaver at one point [08:54] valorie: ok, is it in the repos?

[16:20] Duolos: which version of kubuntu? [16:20] 11.04 [16:20] have you tried system settings? [16:21] The on-screen display shows when using my physical controls, but it doesn't actually change the volume at all. [16:21] ah, perhaps you need to change the master control [16:21] mfraz74: Yeah, for a while my controls worked, but I couldn't get the volume above a whisper (at max). Then I launched alsamixer and could boost the volume, but lost control lol [16:23] Duolos, alsamixer didn't cause the loss of volume ctrl ..there's some other problem if your keyboard volume ctrls don't work [16:24] BluesKaj: I don't know why alsamixer would cause the loss of control. I just know that my controls worked right up until I ran alsamixer the first time. [16:24] Perhaps I somehow changed devices that are being used for output? [16:25] why does the apply button not highlight when I tell muon to purge an application? [16:25] Duolos, did you have pulseaudio installed [16:25] I didn't specifically install it so unless it came in Kubuntu (which it used to), then no. [16:25] Actually, yes, it's installed. [16:25] I have to say Ive gone from gnome to KDE for my main desk top and LXDE for a more minimal one [16:26] Duolos, look ib system settings multimedia phonon device list [16:26] in [16:26] BluesKaj: Just did. There are two devices listed. Internal and HDMI [16:28] internal probly the one you want unless you're feeding a tv/audio amp thru hdmi [16:29] BluesKaj: I'm not. Internal is selected AND working. I just can't adjust the volume at all unless I use alsamixer. Even the volume control in the notification area has no effect. [16:32] Duolos, what audio chip again ? [16:33] hmm.. it's a Realtek. I'll try to find the model [16:33] Wow. I'm smart. [16:33] Duolos: try the widget veromix [16:33] Realtek is my network. [16:34] Audio is a Radeon HD 4200 (RS880) [16:34] Duolos: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=116676 [16:34] Radeon is your graphics card [16:35] BluesKaj: lspci listed it as my audio device :-/ [16:35] Well, audio AND video device. [16:35] Duolos: Probally because hdmi can also do audio [16:36] could that be why kmix can't control the volume, it is set for HDMI? [16:36] Duolos, well it probly has the hdmi audio out , but your primary soundcard is the intrernal one [16:36] Ah... there's another audio device listed: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [16:37] Duolos, which card is listred in alsamixer? [16:37] mfraz74: No, I have the internal chosen for audio in Phonon [16:37] Duolos: try the veromix widget ^^ [16:38] Duolos: but the mixer might be different [16:38] BluesKaj: Ahhhhh. Alsamixer lists the chip as the Realtek ALC270 [16:39] James147: I would use a widget except that I want to use my laptop's physical controls for it. I don't want to have to click all over the place to adjust the volume, ya know? [16:39] is there a wiki... how to import kmail maildir to kmail2? [16:40] what does your laptop's controls look like? [16:40] Duolos: um, wigets can have keyboard shorcuts [16:40] mfraz74: they're just additional keys at the top of my keyboard. [16:40] Duolos, yes Intel uses the realtek chip [16:40] Duolos: so are mine.. [16:41] Duolos: kmix just works off keyboard shorcuts exactly like the widget [16:41] James147: Right... and kmix doesn't work lol [16:41] I mean, I'm sure kmix works, but something got wonky here [16:41] Duolos: TRY it... it dosnt take long [16:42] Duolos: it is designed to work with pulseaudio unlike kmix [16:43] Duolos, got pulseaudio ? [16:43] BluesKaj: Yes. [16:45] ok , try James147 's suggestion , if that doesn't work remove pulseaudio [16:45] Oh, good grief. I think I found it. [16:46] Kmix switched to the HDMI device. [16:46] I'm sorry for wasting your time, guys [16:46] Duolos, how many ctrls show in alsamixer ? [16:47] 7 under playback [16:47] ok, good [16:48] Duolos: didn't i ask that question? [16:48] mfraz74: I missed it, sorry. [16:48] mfraz74: That's why I always add the user's name when addressing them :P [16:49] Highlighting is awesome. [16:49] Duolos: I thought i did [16:49] But yes, you did. I see it now. [16:49] uhm... and that's why I double-checked it? ;) [16:50] mfraz74, it helps if you use the persons nick when asking or answering , so it highlights in his client chat text [16:51] oops . I'll have to remind him again [16:51] Anyway, thanks for you help, everyone. You lead me in the right direction and all is right with the world again... well, kinda. [16:55] ciao [17:00] How do I get my DNS to stay as Google's DNS? [17:01] Is there any way to boost my volume beyond the "max?" [17:01] draik, unless you use NM , add it in resolv,conf or your router settings [17:02] I use NM [17:02] BluesKaj: It re-writes it each time and sets it to just my 192.168.x.x [17:04] what rewrites where ? [17:05] the NM will rewrite it everytime [17:06] How do I have NM keep Google DNS? [17:07] unless you set your router dns server settings to google dns (8.8.8.8) and (8.8.4.4) , without the brackets [17:07] My router is using Google DNS [17:08] draik, then that's all you need [17:08] When I type anything into the address bar, it keeps going to my ISP for search results, even if I have everything set to Google. [17:10] draik, you don't type the google dns into the addressbar , it's a setting in your router options page [17:12] draik, type, route , in the terminal, that's you routers' IP , it should open a webpage that you can surf and set your router options [17:20] draik, better yet use route -n , it gives the gateway IP, which is what you need to access the router settings [17:42] is there any way to control cpu fan speed / some gui maybe?
