[00:00] which i hate to say...WAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS [00:00] VISTA [00:01] Didn't test that. Hang on, just trying The Artist Formerly Known As Hibernate... which is taking a lot longer, as you'd expect with a RAM disk! Hang on... how does that work? Bugger, I suspect it may be the Wrong Thing to even try... [00:01] ive had way to many problems with Hibernate/suspend - i dont even try it in any OS any more [00:02] alonea: Not sure [00:02] Yes, that was rather silly. Running a Live CD, so naturally Suspend to Disk is a bit useless... At least it didn't kill my hard disk... I think... [00:02] in theory it would suspend to the Swap partition.. - i think :) [00:02] Dr_willis: hey do you know where I could hardcode the width of the plasma bar? it doesn't do it right on my friends computer and has to resize it on every login [00:02] Dr_willis: What version were you running when you last had trouble? [00:03] !wifi [00:03] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:03] alonea, not really. [00:03] Dr_willis: was worth a shot to ask [00:03] alonea: Has he tried locking the panel? [00:03] EtFb, ive had issues with hibernate/suspend in every machine ive ever had with every os ive ever had.. :) the only one it seems to work decently well on.. is my Acer Aspire one and XP :) [00:03] Dr_willis: I felt like I was in a Greg Egan novel for a second (an obscure reference? Substitute "in The Matrix" if it helps.) [00:03] Right click->Lock Widgets [00:03] jpedroza: i tried locking it last night with no luck [00:03] EtFb, and then theissue is that sure the OS resumes.. but a lot of the apps HATE it when they get resumed. [00:03] bummer [00:04] so, my wireless connection (router: WRT54GL [tomato firmware]) has been working fine for about two months, suddenly two days ago, the connection dropped from knetwork [00:04] any attempt reconnect was in vain [00:04] jpedroza: it just went back to its small width with no plasma icon to the right. [00:04] the only way to reconnect is to restart my laptop [00:04] anyone had similar issues? [00:04] Dr_willis: I used to get weird behaviour with my wifi card refusing to wake up, so I had to reboot (no idea how else to restart it), but not often. Maybe one in fifty suspend/resumes at most. === malexachi is now known as MaleXachi [00:05] PSiL0: i think I did a lonnnnng time ago on kubuntu...6? but not here. [00:05] i rarely use wirelesss. so most of my issues wwere with non-wirless stuff :) [00:05] alonea: using 08.10 [00:05] PSiL0: but I think I might be confusing that with if I did not plug in my ethernet cable before startup...not internets for me [00:06] JontheEchidna: Ohhhhhhhh, new desktop picture! [00:07] JontheEchidna: Me likey the new look. Well done you! [00:07] PSiL0: yup. we installed it last night. now I kinda know whats causing it and it has to do with vmware. to get resolution to work, you have to set res to 1024x768, the login screen is smaller, but when he logs in, linux sets res to proper 1200x800. only thing that seems to not size correctly is the stupid bar on the bottom. [00:07] jpedroza: I'd thank the awesome KDE dudes for that there. :-) [00:08] Well, it is really slick, except that the buttons on the task manager are still grey [00:09] might be an issue with NVIDIA driver [00:09] PSiL0: if you set the res in vmware tools to 1200x800...you get super super TINY fonts and everything has shrunk dramatically... [00:11] hello, I already have kde4 in ubuntu, how can I upgrade to 4.1.x? [00:11] well, I will try again later... [00:11] Edgar: you not on intrepid? [00:11] Edgar: er nm [00:12] alonea: hmm, my concern was with knetworkmanager dropping my wifi signal and being unable to reconnect to my router [00:12] ubuntu 8.04 [00:12] PSiL0: my bad! wrong person. soooooo not here. gonna go away now... [00:12] Edgar: upgrade to intrepid. [00:12] alonea: lol... that's okay [00:13] hope the person that was intended to was helped it [00:14] why can't I keep my ubuntu 8.04? [00:14] there are KDE 4.1 packages for hardy [00:15] give me a bit and I'll find installation instructions [00:15] ok [00:15] Edgar: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.2 [00:15] folks which program can I use to record voice in linux?

[00:27] :))) [00:29] evening... when i mount my G1 phone dolphin crashes when trying to open it.. Im downloading the dbg files now to produce a a full error report.. Is this a known issue? [00:31] * Stathis` if a hacker can not see my ports and my OS am i safe? i am mad becouse i want a good firewall, antivirus and a way to hide my OS from traces??? === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [00:34] what would you guys do if you loved one ignores all your emails? [00:35] wesley, discuss elsewhere please [00:36] #kubuntu-offtopic if you want to talk with me [00:37] dolphin crashes anyone got anyhting to say about it? [00:38] happens sometimes [00:46] hi [00:49] everytime i try to access my G1 it crashes. [00:50] nautilus doesnt crash! [00:56] can kubuntu automount a luks encrypted usb drive? === brandon__ is now known as coldFusion [01:10] what do yo guys think is kde 4.2 really usable now, kde 4.0 and 4.1 had not so feature rich and stable??? === gnuton is now known as Gnut[OFF] [01:11] Sometimes during a boot, before the system mounts the root partition, it will do a disk check. How do I control this behavior? [01:12] KDE 4.0 was a mess. KDE 4.1 imo is good enough for production use === andreas is now known as andreas__ === andreas__ is now known as andreas_ [01:13] I'm using 4.2, but not seeing any major differences apart from the new Activities [01:14] Eh, I'm not ready to use KDE4 until it stops acting sluggish [01:14] hey kde4 acts sluggish when there is no decent acceleration [01:15] I did enable KWin's enhanced compositioning [01:15] 8.10 looks nice :) [01:15] But it still drew a lot of stuff in software [01:15] So it was still really slow [01:15] Never been on 3.5, so can't comment. Acceleration might be the thing. [01:15] And FPS was nowhere near what Compiz could schieve [01:15] 3.5 is really fast. I really like it. [01:17] 3.5 is ancient stuff, 4.x is future === asterix is now known as daniel-1989 [01:17] Don't get me wrong, I'd like to use 4.x [01:17] Cancil: very nice [01:17] But I hate how it's sluggish and eats up all my CPU. [01:17] it does ? [01:17] I'm not using it until they fix those issues. [01:17] its surprisingly fast on my box [01:17] 4.2RC that is [01:18] would you recommend using a swap partition on a ssd? [01:18] only 512MB ram [01:20] what do you people think is gnome if future or kde, i think kde just because of easyer and faster development speed and all structure is documented within kde4 and qt4 [01:20] is* [01:21] uffo: depends on what you need [01:21] for desktop users, kde is pretty fine [01:21] i do not look war kde vs gnome but technical adwancment [01:21] KDE4 is being developed surprisingly fast [01:22] uffo: id say it rather depends on your taste ;) [01:23] Cancil: I think he's referring to development [01:24] ok, in that case gnome is more conservative whereas kde has more new stuff :P [01:24] i wouldnt say theres no future in gnome developement [01:25] is that true that gnome has harder to develop than kde4 because of C language, for example ubuntu uses lot of other programming languages to support GUI tools on desktop but kde4 is all same one system [01:26] i heard that qt was pretty fine to cope with [01:26] I believe most of KDE's bundled applications are written in C++ [01:26] gtk uses a lot python [01:26] sup guys [01:26] i dont think its bad :) [01:26] I have an Ubuntu question even though I'm in the Kubuntu chat room (got banned, long story)... I can't get my microphone to work in 8.10 64 bit Ubuntu... anybody have any ideas of what I could try? [01:26] i have ubuntu and kubuntu together .... may i update kde new version at Kubuntu and how ?? [01:27] in new KDE i mean in kubuntu [01:27] example ubuntu has that note program written in mono and lot of other tools in python but all should be one like kde4 c++ and because i think kde may become very standard in future [01:27] Stathis`: You mean KDE3 to KDE4? [01:28] from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 is new version [01:29] something like that [01:29] 4.2 has not officially released yet [01:29] But you can try the neon-nightly beta [01:29] there is e new now [01:30] KDE 4.2 is in RC now, which means it's not quite the final release but very close [01:30] try www.kde.org [01:30] Latest Announcements [01:30] Hotspot [01:30] KDE 4.1.4 and 4.2 Release Candidate Available Now [01:30] Yes, I see [01:30] uffo: kde wont go standard that fast [01:31] A release candidate is not the final release, but is very close to it [01:31] uffo: most people are looking for stable and conservative stuff [01:31] You may just want to wait a week until they have the official public release of 4.2 [01:32] FoxBlitzz: and how i can update it ... i have kubuntu [01:32] The 27th is the official release date IIRC [01:32] Again, you can install the neon-nightly build if you want to, but it might be best to wait a week [01:33] the update is auto in kubuntu ? === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [01:33] http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-rc1 [01:34] You must add this to your 3rd party software sources: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main [01:34] thanks [01:35] iwill wait a litle [01:35] What's the status one GNOME 3 then? [01:35] I haven't checked, but I assume they will make KDE 4.2 an automatic upgrade when it comes out [01:36] Because it's not like you'll lose settings or anything [01:36] Someone correct me on this? [01:36] syockit: nothing concrete yet [01:37] is that network manager is in kubuntu 9.04 http://osnews.com/img/20758/1.png [01:38] uffo: this looks like kde 4.2^^ [01:38] Hmm [01:38] if theres an automatic update youll get it on ibex too [01:38] Is that meter to the left of the battery indicator the KSysGuard applet? [01:40] uffo: Hey, I don't have anything like that! Maybe it's from a widget? [01:40] ohh it wont be in 4.2 http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=839 BUT 4.3 includes this and Kubuntu 9.10 should include it [01:40] so 9.10 must lost old network manager [01:43] kde4 develops way faster than gnome, i am not programmer but i think because of c++ and full documentation and very good system infrastructure [01:45] * Stathis` byezzzz [01:46] there s someone ? [01:47] 286 total someones.... [01:47] uffo: Yes, that's a network manager that's in playground atm. It will NOT be in 4.2 but some distrobutions might put it into their 4.2 packages anyways [01:47] c++ is normally slower to develop^ [01:47] Cancil: not when compared to plain C [01:48] I thought C++ was suppose to make it faster. :) [01:48] python is faster :) [01:48] and when your options are KDE or Gnome (for complete desktop environments)... imho KDE with C++ wins out in eas of development [01:51] does anyone happen to know if kubuntu can automount a luks encrypted usb drive? [01:52] brb === Raylz is now known as Cancil [02:01] emma, if all else fails you could put a line in /etc/rc.local to mount it.. if you know th proper command [02:01] but you want it mounted as its plugged in? [02:02] yeah [02:02] i want to be able to at least access it... [02:08] if you knew the proper fstab entry for it . that would be best.. [02:08] or if you knew how to mount it manually from the command line that could work also [02:08] Ive no idea what a ' luks encrypted' is :) ive neer used one [02:09] dudes [02:09] I cant get my microphone working to save my life [02:09] can anybody help? [02:10] Dr_willis: Ah, yes! Thanks for the help regarding fstab the otherday. [02:10] I would suggest that GUI program you told me to use. It worked for me! [02:12] Is it possable to take all my contacts out of kopete and put them in to knntact? [02:12] kontact** [02:14] Does anyone know where to choose the "look and feel" of kubuntu... where you can choose Unix,KDE,Mac or Microsoft ?? [02:14] I am trying to burn a CD. I am being told that there isn't enough space on the harddisk. My HDD has 35GB available and the CD is blank. What is happening? This is with both k3b and Brasero. [02:16] draik: do you have a small / or /tmp? [02:17] astromme: I shouldn't. Nothing has changed. [02:17] Does anyone know where to choose the "look and feel" of kubuntu... where you can choose Unix,KDE,Mac or Microsoft ?? [02:17] draik, its making an Image of the cd on the hd first most likely.. you need a 600+mb free for that. [02:17] Dr_willis: I have 35GB free ;) [02:18] draik, prove it :) it may be mounted read only.. check mount command. see if you can make other files.. [02:19] Dr_willis: df -h has 35GB free; using 90% of HDD. I am trying to burn an audio CD. [02:22] i have started a new channel #kde-dating [02:23] wesley: You want to start dating KDE? [02:23] lol [02:24] Would´nt that be cool kde dating [02:24] ive started the channel already [02:24] * astromme chuckles [02:25] Not like there are any girls there [02:26] So KDE is male?

[02:30] astromme: Yeah, me neither. :( [02:30] neoTheCat_: Does the screensaver come up or is it just the screen turning off? You have to check power settings too. [02:31] nope, the screensaver. asks for a password... [02:31] ok, my acer aspire one 110L runs now pretty well with kubuntu [02:31] but there are a lot graphic errors [02:34] astromme: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1f5016fa That is the result from "df -h" [02:35] draik: I don't see any problems. =/ [02:35] astromme: I removed (and purged) k3b, then reinstalled. Seems to work now. Go figure.

Make sure that the root drive is correct in grub [02:44] 1016elidaly [02:44] shit [02:44] hm... let me try something then [02:45] wrong box :D [02:45] Does anyone know where to choose the "look and feel" of kubuntu... where you can choose Unix,KDE,Mac or Microsoft ?? [02:46] i forgot i was booting from optiical disk for a while [02:46] elbone: go to http://kde-look.org/ [02:46] let me see if putting hard drive back as the first place to boot from would help >.< [02:47] CodeGure: I want to know where to choose the feel like double click selection/ highlight windows shade and whatnot [02:48] ok how would i make sure root drive is correct in grub [02:49] from the grub shell, you could use its find command to see where the root files needed are at. [02:49] adding/removing hard drives causes the drives to 'reorder' theirselfs.. hd1 may becomd hd2 and so forth [02:50] ah whats the command to local root files? [02:50] grub has a 'find' command [02:50] in the grub shell [02:50] Snoopy_Corleone: I think you may have accidentally a verb [02:51] whats the problem?

[02:55] yea [02:55] hmm -- find /boot/grub/stage1 is what I'm coming up with as well [02:56] not found [02:56] okay, sounds like grub isn't installed in the mbr then [02:57] x.x [02:57] so you would go with root (hd0,0) instead [02:57] changing hd0,0 to the appropriate drive/partition [02:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html [02:58] i have to do a dist-upgrade after adding the sources for kde 4.2rc right?

I burned it to a CD and on the install screen I did "Check disk for errors." It found "Errors in 52 files". I burned it at a slower rate than the burner was capable of, to have less errors.

[05:15] tweakedeh: I did === yvette is now known as valued_customer [05:16] sorry no one could help [05:16] God Bless [05:17] update-notifier-kde will not run for me at the start of my KDE session; i've checked it's settings and it's definitely set to notify me of daily updates, and it runs without error from the console. anyone have any thoughts? === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [05:26] I'm installing kubuntu 8.10 and I'm partitioning the hard drive using the kubuntu installer. The default settings for the new partition are "type: logical" and "use as: Ext3 journaling file system." Is this okay or should I change it? [05:27] if I install ubuntu-desktop, what does that do to the sound system under kde? will I have kde working with pulseaudio? or is it not that straightforward? [05:27] ubuntu: that setting is fine. are you installing linux for the first time? [05:28] yes [05:28] :) [05:28] are you doing this on a drive that has a windows install on it, as well? [05:29] yes [05:30] well, here's a suggestion, then: [05:30] i normally have my linux installs separated out into a couple of different partitions for reasons that aren't worth getting into just at the moment. you don't need to get that complicated yet. [05:30] but, what you might want to do is this: [05:32] make 2 partitions for your linux install: a 10 gig partition for the actual OS itself, and a second partition (how big is up to you, but i'd say at least 5 gigs) for your /home directory, which is roughly equivalent to C:\Documents And Settings in windows [05:33] hello all [05:34] sounds logical [05:34] may i have some help [05:34] im new to linux [05:34] hellraiser: [05:34] hellraiser: it's generally considered weird to ask if you can ask; just go ahead and ask your question. :) [05:34] Would help a lot if we knew what was wrong [05:34] if anyone knows the answer they'll pipe up.
