[00:03] color test [00:03] ahhh [00:10] Any word on kubuntuforums coming back online [00:15] hi, I can't get sound with smplayer and vlc doesn't seem to work on KDE-4.3, any help ? [00:22] join #kubuntu-offtopic [00:51] hello, i wanna delete my sda2 partition of my disk (which contains my vista) with Gparted, but the option is locked, can someone help me pls [00:57] luis_: how are you starting Gparted? You have to run it as root (privileged user) [00:57] sudo gparted [00:57] i am root [00:57] oh ok [00:57] or try gksudo gparted [00:57] somebody who knows why my laptop display shows white screen with stripes while shutdown ubuntu? [00:57] everything works but this is anoying [00:58] no dschulz, problem keeps [00:58] option blocked [00:59] luis_: mmm have you tried with cfdisk program from command line? [00:59] open a konsole or gnome-terminal window and type 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda' [01:00] that will automatically erase my sda2? [01:00] no, the program will list you your partitions [01:01] but if you ask, yes, you have to be cautious, navigate the buttons on the bottom of the window with the arrow keys [01:02] notice that there's no need to delete the partition [01:02] you just need to change the partition type [01:02] luis_- is the partition mounted? [01:02] Dragnslcr: good question :) [01:02] yes Dragnslcr its mounted [01:03] you have to unmount it [01:03] There's your problem right there [01:03] You can't modify mounted partitions [01:03] sudo umount /dev/sda2 [01:03] dschulz: i wanna delete it because if i have virtual box emuling windows, why wasting 60GB in a system i will not boot anymore :) === Mapk is now known as Eyeslooker [01:03] look, if you are going to delete, you will need to create a new partition anyway [01:04] you can just change the partition type and the reformat as ext3 [01:04] no, i will make bigger the linux one [01:04] or ext4 if you prefer [01:04] the partition type is just a flag that identifies which kind of filesystem you have in that partition [01:05] im not saying that actually deleting the partition is wrong. Im just saying that you dont really need to do that [01:05] oh holda [01:06] u r telling me than if i reformat as ext3 [01:06] linux will be able to use it? [01:06] yes [01:06] because the 2 r different partions, 1 is sda2 and the other 1 sda3 [01:06] sure [01:08] can you list your partitions with 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' and paste in pastebin, please? [01:09] fdisk -l /dev/sda [01:09] could not be open [01:09] oops, 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' [01:09] lol.. [01:09] without the quoutes [01:10] what was the large texts copy pages? [01:10] bin.com or something, dont remember [01:10] pastebin.com ? [01:10] that :) [01:11] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com also works [01:12] this [01:12] http://pastebin.com/m72264871 [01:12] will look [01:14] sda3 es una particion extendida, y probablemente sda5 y sd6 son particiones *logicas* "dentro" de sda3 [01:14] good, u know english, i was thinking u maybe could not understand "fin" and "Bloques" lol [01:14] srry :) [01:14] well then what we do? [01:15] u know spanish* [01:15] yes, much better than english indeed :) [01:15] cool :D because i am panamenian ;) [01:15] ok lets proceed, what we do then? [01:15] i'd recommend you to start with cfdisk [01:16] changing the partition type [01:16] i want linux to take all the disk [01:16] ok, but all your other partitions are linux right now [01:16] it it possible to install Adobe Flash Player 10 in Kubuntu 8.04? [01:16] i tried to rezise sda5, but it says it cant be unmounted cause u have to unmount also "/" wtf?! [01:16] the only 'evil' partition is sda2 right ? [01:16] oh lol yes [01:17] eagle, sure [01:17] ok, the other partitions are in use right now [01:17] i think [01:17] you cant touch them [01:17] oh... [01:17] there's no need also [01:17] carpii_: some help please, any way i have tried has worked for me, Konqueror and Firefox cannot see the plugin [01:17] thats why i cant unmount it :/ [01:17] oh, good then [01:18] okay, if we r not going to use gparted, what i do? [01:18] i'd recommend you to get rid of sda2 [01:18] eagle, i didnt do anything special. I just have firefox 3 and installed adobe-flashplugin package [01:18] ok, so i delete it with gparted :) [01:18] and forget about the other partitions [01:19] if you insist with gparted.. right [01:19] carpii_: i use 64bit and that package is only for 32bit [01:19] but wait [01:19] lets do it with the other program then ^^ [01:19] i dont recommend you to actually *delete* the partition [01:19] oh ok, i dont know about 64 bit [01:20] [19:18] i'd recommend you to get rid of sda2 [01:20] yes or no? [01:20] no, wait [01:20] ill try to explain [01:20] get rid by reformating, not by deleting the partition [01:20] there's a big difference [01:21] oh LOOL [01:21] what i recommend you is to 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda' then [01:22] then u could say "reformat", not "get rid", i was actually just going to click apply after clicking delete partitoon ;) [01:22] then select the sda2 partition [01:22] partition* [01:22] the thing is than gparted has a graphical mode, so i can simply click: Reformat as ext3 [01:22] the sda2 [01:22] un momento [01:23] que [01:23] whats the best quicksilver type app [01:24] file search/launcher [01:26] theres a gnome one called gnome-do [01:28] i was lookin at launchy i have beagle but b dont like it [01:30] hola [01:30] :) [01:37] hiiiiiii [01:43] if i remove the jaunty backports source and do a dist-upgrade, will apt remove 4.3 and restore 4.2?

[03:12] why compiz ? [03:12] kwin is better [03:12] and better integrated [03:12] compiz is buggy with KDE [03:19] kwin is buggy right now on my system and compiz is running better. i love kwin, but it needs to mature more. [03:19] compiz is working fine with kde 4.3 so far. a little better than kwin [03:21] sorry for the late reply. found something on google that tells me how to change the window manager on startup (finally). going to try. be back soon [03:25] goes i got an issue here, why copiying files from Home to a CD-RW goes SOO slow, its alwasy 0 B/s [03:25] is there a way to fix that?! [03:25] copying* [03:26] ????? [03:30] luis_: can't say i've run into that before. which version of kubuntu are you using [03:30] and which application ? [03:31] replacing kwin with compiz on startup worked like a charm [03:32] i wished kwin worked better on my system (old ati card). i liked being able to enable and disable compositing with a key stroke [03:35] the kde team outdid themselves with kde 4.3. its excellent! [04:05] im looking for somthing better thaN kmenu or lancelot any ideas [04:10] I wanna updrade to KDE.4.3 [04:10] can someone help me pls¿? [04:11] ???

[05:26] downloaded ubuntu....restarted PC....boot screen did not load...went straight to windows every time [05:26] got warning while installing...."Windows no disk" ??? [05:26] mike_144, did you md5 the iso burn at very low speed, do the disk integrity check [05:27] your speaking japanese to me....I downloaded with the 9.04 disk [05:28] !md5 | mike_144 [05:28] mike_144: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:28] mike_144: when you boot the cd, there's a "check disk" option. did ya do that? [05:28] So i need the CD in when i reboot? [05:28] mike_144, you need to compare the md5 hash of the iso to the one on the ubuntuhashes page [05:29] when i booted the CD a windows warning popped up that said "Windows no disk" [05:29] i clicked continue like 10 times it then began to install [05:30] no "check disk option" came up [05:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes mike_144 [05:31] thank you [05:32] sounds like a bad burn, or a corrupt iso mike_144 [05:34] LOL! that is like asking me to read Japanese man...WTF....I downloaded the CD..why won't it work [05:35] mike_144: Are you sure your computer is set to boot from CD? [05:35] mike_144, a bad burn, means an incorrectly burned cd, a corrupt iso means that the downloaded file was in someway not complete, no need for the language [05:35] the CD was sent from ubuntu...it's an official CD [05:36] mike_144, you said earlier you downloaded the CD [05:36] downloaded ubuntu.. [05:36] yes....it went all the way thru but when it rebooted it never gave me a choice of which OS to use [05:37] mike_144: Are you sure your computer is set to boot from the CD? [05:37] how do i do that [05:37] i shouldn't have to boot from CD should I [05:37] bios boot priority. :) [05:38] mike_144, to install ubuntu of course you need to [05:38] I downloaded Ubuntu......It does not give me the choice at boot like it is supposed to [05:38] !bios [05:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about bios [05:39] you know...when i restart my PC [05:39] mike_144: Most likely you just have to set your BIOS to boot from the CD. [05:39] hould i uninstall and try again...then look for check disk? [05:40] should^ [05:40] mike_144, uninstall? you said it never installed? [05:40] it did install^^^^ [05:41] but it will not give me a choice of "windows" or ubuntu" at restart [05:41] When booting up hit F1, keep on hitting it. It could be a different key too. A bios utility will come up. You gotta search around for the bios priorty, or boot priorty, move the CD ROM to the top. [05:41] I'm trying to google to see what keys to press. Sometimes it's different [05:41] escape [05:42] for boot screen [05:42] delete is often used [05:42] i've seen f12 as well [05:42] it's escape [05:42] on mine [05:43] there, you have choices to go by. Change the boot order, restart, put in CD and install [05:43] change the boot order??? [05:43] yep [05:44] how [05:44] make sure to change it back once you have installed [05:46] mike_144: What manufacturer is your motherboard? [05:46] pentium? [05:46] intel [05:46] HP [05:46] Pavilion [05:47] Try F1 [05:48] Restart the computer, keep pressing F1, or whatever keys were mentioned. Don't wait til Windows shows up. [05:49] ok i uninstalled....and put the disk in to install and a warning popped up "Windows-no disk" exception process message c00000013 parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c [05:49] My bios says, "boot" in the bios. Again, it's probably different [05:49] heh [05:50] when i click continue like 10 times it begins the install though [05:50] mike_144: Probably something is interfering with autorun. It is best to boot directly from the CD rather than trying to run it from within Windows. [05:50] how do i boot direct? [05:51] Click start > shutdown > restart. While restarting press F1 repeatedly. [05:52] mike_144: For an HP, usually you reboot with the CD in the drive, press ESC as soon as you see the BIOS screen, and select the CD drive as the boot option. [05:52] with the ubunto disk in [05:52] Sure. [05:52] Doesn't really matter right now [05:52] mike_144, so it is not installed yet then [05:52] no i uninstalled [05:53] and put the disk in to install and a warning popped up "Windows-no disk" exception process message c00000013 parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c [05:53] mike_144: Have you tried booting from the CD yet? [05:53] i don't know what that means man [05:53] mike_144: For an HP, usually you reboot with the CD in the drive, press ESC as soon as you see the BIOS screen, and select the CD drive as the boot option. [05:54] "booting from the CD" [05:54] mike_144, what is your native language [05:54] mike_144: Let me search for a video on installing ubuntu on youtube. [05:54] english [05:54] mike_144: The BIOS screen is usually the HP logo, or whatever displays _before_ windows starts to load. [05:54] booting from CD means starting computer from CD and NOT hard disk DRive [05:55] yes and "escape" brings me to the boot page [05:55] hey, does anyone know an error where kdm log gives you this: XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard [05:55] mike_144, and there you change the 'Boot' order. [05:55] mike_144: Then select the CD drive option, and it should boot from the Ubuntu CD. [05:56] ok...i'll try [05:56] mike_144, how did you install it the first time? [05:57] bazhang: I think he installed it from within Windows. [05:57] mike_144, was it wubi? as CoJaBo-Aztec is suggesting? a file inside windows? [05:58] it is an official Ubuntu disk sent by mail to download [05:58] 9.04 [05:58] mike_144: http://alturl.com/fcxa It also explains wubi. Looks kinda cheesy [05:59] my frien installed it with no prob on toshiba lap top [05:59] By, "looks kinda cheesy" I ment the videos. ;) [06:00] k i'll check...disk is downloading now === thumper-afk is now known as thumper [06:11] is there an easy way to revert back to kde 4.2 after doing an upgrade to 4.3?

[06:26] i tried the link up, but i dont know what to do [06:27] Valkyrie: *grumble* reading the banlist is tough when its all IPs [06:27] Yea [06:27] Well [06:27] i cant see find which op banned you [06:27] My ip dooesent show [06:27] so i dont know who to poke [06:27] luis_: lemme look [06:27] My ip doesent show [06:27] so it should be easy [06:27] cg.shawcable.net is my isp [06:28] luis_: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list [06:28] so sort through with those that have that end to it [06:28] luis_: paste the "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main" line at the end of it [06:28] luis_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:30] kdesu command not found [06:30] ... [06:30] sudo [06:30] try sudo [06:30] that should be part of default [06:30] oh lol [06:30] do you have gksudo instead? [06:30] doug__: youre not supposed to use sudo on graphical apps [06:31] if you installed ubuntu then added kubuntu to it, you may have gksu/gksudo [06:31] i don't know so [06:31] kdesudo doug__ [06:31] i installed kubuntu, not ubuntu [06:31] ah bazhang has it [06:32] bazhang: kdesu used to exist, didnt it? [06:32] luis_, kdesudo bazhang: did gksu go away too? [06:32] maco, it seems to not be installed by default though (kdesudo) [06:33] maco, also there, oddly optional for Ubuntu as well [06:33] maco, after posting the line in kate, a lot of extra text appeared, is that okay?
