[00:00] <panix_> why dont people learn to use debian ?
[00:00] <panix_> at least it was a stable version
[00:00] <panix_> has*
[00:02] <unholyskorn> so stupid
[00:02] <unholyskorn> thing says it installed just fine...
[00:03] <panix_> try running glxgears
[00:03] <licensed> anybody knows if kubuntu 10.04 have a crypt option on installer?
[00:03] <len_> vbgunz, I'm using Nvidia drivers, and I also had problems with opengl desktop effects after upgrading to 10.04.  Nothing I tried got them to work 100%.  After a I did a fresh installed everything worked, so I think there are some issues with the upgrade process.
[00:04] <panix_> unholyskorn, type glsgears on the cli
[00:04] <panix_> i mean glxgears
[00:04] <unholyskorn> what is cli?
[00:04] <Cookiekiller> better type glxinfo | grep direct
[00:04] <Cookiekiller> commandline
[00:04] <panix_> command line
[00:04] <unholyskorn> terminal?
[00:04] <Cookiekiller> if he print direct redering yes it should work
[00:05] <Cookiekiller> -.-
[00:05] <Cookiekiller> 42.
[00:05] <Cookiekiller> be creative
[00:05] <unholyskorn> slow down
[00:05] <unholyskorn> glxgears comes out with segmentation fault
[00:06] <unholyskorn> glxinfo comes out with name of display: :0.0
[00:06] <unholyskorn> Segmentation fault
[00:06] <panix_> now you done it
[00:06] <Cookiekiller> without root ..
[00:06] <unholyskorn> ?
[00:06] <Cookiekiller> just at your user account
[00:06] <panix_> so ubuntu has root now ?
[00:06] <Cookiekiller> yes he has
[00:06] <Cookiekiller> :-P
[00:06] <unholyskorn> ?
[00:07] <Cookiekiller> ubuntu never hasn't one but this isn't the theme
[00:07] <Cookiekiller> try glxinfo | grep direct
[00:07] <gregcoit> anyone happen to know if the plymouth background used on the kubuntu lucid cd is a wallpaper or just a gradient?
[00:07] <Cookiekiller> check the output there must be printed out "direct rendering yes" or something like this
[00:07] <unholyskorn> gives me nothing
[00:07] <unholyskorn> just goes back into another prompt
[00:08] <unholyskorn> glxinfo | grep direct
[00:08] <Cookiekiller> yes?
[00:08] <unholyskorn> doesn't do a damn thing
[00:09] <unholyskorn> unholyskorn@Blackdragon:~$ glxinfo | grep direct
[00:09] <unholyskorn> unholyskorn@Blackdragon:~$
[00:09] <Cookiekiller> ehm, type glxinfo and paste it in a nopaste service of your choice
[00:11] <Kano> hi, what do install that amarok can play mp3?
[00:11] <panix_> http://ubuntusatanic.org/news/
[00:11] <Cookiekiller> xine backend libs right?
[00:12] <Cookiekiller> are you using the xine or gstreamer backend?
[00:12] <unholyskorn> http://pastebin.org/195588
[00:12] <Kano> no idea, where to chose? did not change anything
[00:12] <panix_> thats the best lookingubuntu yet !
[00:12] <Cookiekiller> Kano, this should be the package libxine-extracodecs
[00:12] <Kano> not ffmpeg?
[00:12] <Cookiekiller> according to the first google link
[00:12] <Cookiekiller> ffmped is for videos :-P
[00:12] <Cookiekiller> mpeg :-)
[00:13] <Cookiekiller> unholyskorn, but your X is up right?
[00:13] <unholyskorn> I guess so lol
[00:13] <Kano> no, that extracodecs is replayed by ffmpeg
[00:13] <Cookiekiller> I don't think so
[00:13] <Kano> but still no steams work
[00:14] <Cookiekiller> try to install the libs I talked about ;.)
[00:14] <Cookiekiller> I had named the package
[00:14] <licensed> hey.. anybody knows if kubuntu 10.04 have a crypt option on installer?
[00:14] <panix_> # Ubuntu Satanic Edition
[00:14] <panix_> deb http://ubuntusatanic.org/hell karmic main
[00:14] <panix_> deb-src http://ubuntusatanic.org/hell karmic main
[00:15] <panix_> add that to your repos conf
[00:15] <gregcoit> 1) licensed it does
[00:15] <unholyskorn> I don't get this
[00:15] <gregcoit> licensed: it does
[00:15] <licensed> gregcoit alternate cd too?
[00:15] <unholyskorn> Why is it so hard, says the drivers are for my card, says its for linux, runs fine and installs complete and it still doesnt work
[00:15] <panix_> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-satanic-wide
[00:15] <panix_> then type this
[00:15] <gregcoit> licensed: don't know about the alternate...
[00:16] <licensed> gregcoit ok.. tank you dude ;)
[00:16] <gregcoit> licensed: np
[00:17] <unholyskorn> Any ideas what is wrong cookiekiller?
[00:18] <Kano> ok, works now, just the mixer was very low
[00:18] <Cookiekiller> unholyskorn, I am tinking
[00:18] <Cookiekiller> :-P
[00:18] <unholyskorn> Thanks dude
[00:18] <Cookiekiller> unholyskorn, are you working in a tty or in a terminal emulator like gnome-terminal?
[00:18] <unholyskorn> All I did was goto ati site, select my card, download the ati .run file, sudo sh it and it installed ok and restarted
[00:18] <panix_> unholyskorn, you must install satanic edition is the best
[00:19] <Cookiekiller> panix_, this wouldn't fix his issues ..
[00:19] <unholyskorn> I am using Konsole
[00:19] <aebroschinski> Has anyone else seen an inconsistency reported by ld when trying to run add-apt-repository, or when trying to edit software sources? And if so have you been able to fix it?
[00:19] <aebroschinski> The exact error is pasted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/425546/
[00:19] <Cookiekiller> unholyskorn, tty right? I am right, you aren't using X atm?
[00:20] <Cookiekiller> or is you X in safemode (vesa?)
[00:20] <unholyskorn> No idea what you are talking about lol
[00:20] <unholyskorn> kde kubuntu 10
[00:20] <unholyskorn> lol
[00:21] <unholyskorn> ?
[00:21] <Cookiekiller> ok, do you have just a black screen with a command line interface?
[00:21] <unholyskorn> No, lol hell no
[00:21] <Cookiekiller> ok :-)
[00:21] <Cookiekiller> you haven't 3D support atm right? this is the only issue?
[00:21] <unholyskorn> I guess so, doesn't seem like the ati drivers are working
[00:21] <unholyskorn> cant get ccc to run either
[00:22] <unholyskorn> asks for sudo password, i put it in and hit enter and it just goes away
[00:22] <aebroschinski> ack I just installed 10.4 on a mostly clean harddrive (only my home directory was there)
[00:23] <Cookiekiller> why aren't you using the driver from the ubuntu repo?
[00:23] <Cookiekiller> http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grafikkarten/Ati/fglrx
[00:24] <Cookiekiller> type in fglrxinfo
[00:24] <Cookiekiller> to check it :-)
[00:24] <Cookiekiller> I am nvidia user :-P
[00:24] <unholyskorn> because i want to use the ati drivers
[00:25] <Cookiekiller> fglrx is the ati driver :-p
[00:25] <vadi01> Teknical: you mean clean install did not have this nvidea bug?
[00:25] <Cookiekiller> just packaged for ubuntu
[00:25] <unholyskorn> well it dont work
[00:25] <Cookiekiller> ok than try to follow the howto from ubuntuusers
[00:25] <Teknical> ugly splash shows after nvidia driver install through kde-jokey
[00:25] <Teknical> jockey*
[00:25] <Cookiekiller> oh, damn german howto ..
[00:26] <unholyskorn> So the drivers ati comes out with dont work?
[00:26] <Cookiekiller> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu
[00:26] <Kano> unholyskorn: they work, just the packages are NEWER in the lucid repo
[00:27] <unholyskorn> ther packages on ati site are not the newest? thats retarded...
[00:27] <Teknical> vadi, ill investing more after a bit, have to run for a while.. thx
[00:27] <Teknical> investigate* cant type today
[00:28] <Kano> ati has 8.723, lucid has a hotfix driver called 8.723.1
[00:28] <Kano> when you compare both, the ati 10-4 does not write "Series" in the fglrxinfo output
[00:28] <amgarchIn9> hi, how do I fix bold fonts in konsole in 10.04? Looks ugly, doesnt fit into fixed width.
[00:29] <unholyskorn> I have ati driver 10-4
[00:29] <Kano> unholyskorn: i maintain a script to install fglrx automaticalla, therefore i of course tested it
[00:29] <unholyskorn> maybe i installed the wrong one?
[00:30] <Kano> well a d-u will automaticially update the driver when installed as deb. but of course not when you used the installer without buildpkg.
[00:33] <aebroschinski> I fixed it python-apt needed to be reinstalled
[00:34] <unholyskorn> oh look this pos errored out also
[00:34] <vbgunz> I dont believe my system even supports OpenGL  in any capacity
[00:34] <unholyskorn> Errors were encountered while processing:
[00:34] <unholyskorn>  /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
[00:34] <unholyskorn> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (
[00:37] <unholyskorn> 3 hours just to get a damn video driver to work
[00:38] <vbgunz> I removed all nvidia drivers and just noticed 2 real cool things short of having my effects disabled. 1 switching to the tty and back to the desktop is seamless. no flickering. 2 for the first time ever, my tty are at my native resolution. thats amazing. so, how do I enabled effects without nvidia?
[00:40] <unholyskorn> Kano, this thing keeps erroring out code (1)
[00:41] <Kano> unholyskorn: the eroor must be a bit above
[00:41] <unholyskorn> huh?
[00:41] <unholyskorn> I run exactly what it says to run
[00:44] <cjae> ok someone know why my usb bluetooth logitech mx 5500 doesnt work in lucid
[00:45] <Cookiekiller> have you switch from analog output to the usb output in the soundmixer? :-)
[00:46] <Cookiekiller> you can choice in the audio settings menu between options like in and output, there should your logitech headset be selected
[00:49] <tweakedeh> Hello, I'm new to linux and I can't get Samba to work.
[00:49] <James147> tweakedeh: what have you tryed?
[00:51] <Scunizi> Just curious.. any issues using the package managers update from 9.10 to 10.04?
[00:51] <loki___> I'm running into an issue with 10.04 LTS when running from VMware or VirtualBox my Seriel Keyboard ceases to function, and the virtual keyboard also does not work, is there some sort of work around?
[00:52] <tweakedeh> Janmes147: I want to share a folder so I installed Samba and the  "System-Config-Samba" and when I go to open samba it does nothing, When I right click the folder and go into properties > share > configure file sharing that also does nothing
[00:52] <cjae> Cookiekiller: was that directed to me?
[00:53] <Cookiekiller> ehm, yes :-)
[00:53] <Cookiekiller> cjae, just for you
[00:54] <cjae> Cookiekiller: it is a kb and mouse combo not a headset
[00:54] <James147> tweakedeh: the gui samaba configs are outdated and dont work very well, i think someone is writing some more updated ones.... for now the best way is to use command line
[00:55] <tweakedeh> James147: Awesome, Thank you =]
[00:55] <Cookiekiller> cjae, oh :D
[00:55] <James147> tweakedeh: you can either add the shares to /etc/samba/smb.conf or use "net usershare" to add them (the first requires root for every share, the latter allows users to add shares)
[00:55] <Cookiekiller> can you connect it using gnome-bluetooth?
[00:55] <James147> !samba |  tweakedeh
[00:55] <Cookiekiller> scanning for new devices - adding them and trying?
[00:56] <tweakedeh> James147: even better, Thanks a lot!
[01:02] <ratdog> hello, how to i show my active programs in the taskbar?
[01:04] <ratdog> hello, how to i show my active programs in the taskbar?
[01:04]  * ratdog slaps punto around a bit with a large trout
[01:05] <ratdog> lol
[01:05] <ratdog> ratdog is using mIRC 7.01 running in (Wine(Virtual(WindowsNT(Enviroment(Linux(Lucid(Lynx)))))))
[01:05] <Cookiekiller> xD
[01:05] <ratdog> anyhow
[01:06] <Cookiekiller> ratdog, gnome, kde, xfce? :-) and use xchat or something but not mIRC :D
[01:12] <dominicdinada> Why cant i get my .mov files to play ??? keeps saying i need some codecs and i downloaded them still no dice
[01:12] <unholyskorn> use vlc?
[01:13] <Consul_Falx> i have a problem
[01:13] <dominicdinada> vlc??
[01:14] <ratdog> Cookiekiller wine is for Linux, an i can run mIRC on wine :)
[01:14] <Consul_Falx> I get worser and worser graphics, sometimes it even freezes with a very curious visual consequence, but - I cannot reenable composition in KWin ...
[01:14] <dominicdinada> I was just playing them with the default player before i wiped it for the upgrade
[01:16] <ratdog> ph33r
[01:16] <wsjunior> hello, how do i change the default sound card?
[01:16] <wsjunior> using system settings i was able to prefer the one i want for kde apps
[01:17] <wsjunior> but what about gtk apps?
[01:17] <wsjunior> asoundconf is no longer supported
[01:17] <wsjunior> how am i supossed to do that now?
[01:19] <das> HOW DO YOU  CHANGE THEME IN LUCID
[01:19] <das> sry caps
[01:20] <das> my taskbar looks all weird
[01:21] <Cookiekiller> das, like you did it in karmic :-P
[01:21] <wizkoder> hy everybody
[01:22] <FeasibilityStudy> Anyone else having the ugly boot screen after installing video drivers?
[01:22] <wsjunior> yes
[01:22] <wsjunior> i am
[01:22] <wizkoder> the facebook plasmoid can display all page exept the normal page?
[01:22] <wsjunior> installed nvidia driver
[01:22] <wsjunior> and the splash is totally messed up
[01:22] <Cookiekiller> no just a framebuffer resolution ..
[01:22] <FeasibilityStudy> I tried the fix posted on the forums, didnt work for me
[01:22] <wsjunior> so how to solve that?
[01:23] <dominicdinada> what is the codec pack for totem to play .mov, flv etc files with totem ?
[01:23] <Cookiekiller> because ati and nvidia drivers can't run there
[01:23] <wsjunior> FeasibilityStudy: please give me the link so i can test it too
[01:23] <Cookiekiller> isn't fixable
[01:23] <wsjunior> damn
[01:23] <Cookiekiller> and it isn't a bug
[01:24] <FeasibilityStudy> Cookiekiller: Any way to just turn that ugly splash off then?
[01:24] <Cookiekiller> the high resolution at the boot screen is just a feature of the free nvidia driver
[01:24] <wsjunior> appears to be so simple
[01:24] <FeasibilityStudy> splash=0 or something?
[01:24] <dominicdinada> !apache
[01:24] <wsjunior> FeasibilityStudy: please give me the link to the forum thread u tried
[01:24] <vbgunz> If anybody like me was stuck with no effects and trying to use the latest nvidia binary, this solution worked for me perfectly.
[01:25] <vbgunz> http://dpaste.com/189626/
[01:25] <FeasibilityStudy> And does anyone know how to configure services?  Ubuntu is really confusing with its mish mash of rc and upstart services
[01:25] <wsjunior> which one
[01:25] <gregcoit> I can't seem to find the enable-restricted-drivers section in kubuntu lucid - anyone know where it is?
[01:25] <wsjunior> oh
[01:25] <Cookiekiller> no just remove quiet splash in the grub.cfg at the boot folder
[01:25] <wsjunior> lets see
[01:25] <FeasibilityStudy> wsjunior: dont have it
[01:25] <dominicdinada> !dvd gregcoit
[01:25] <Cookiekiller> then you'll see the good old boot up with kernel messages and service start up etc
[01:25] <FeasibilityStudy> google for the bug and someone posted it in the bug report
[01:25] <dominicdinada> !dvd | gregcoit
[01:26] <wsjunior> Cookiekiller: are u sure it isnt fixable?
[01:26] <gregcoit> dominicdinada: thank you ,but I
[01:26] <gregcoit> er, I'm referring to restricted drivers, not formats (ie, nvidia)
[01:26] <Cookiekiller> In my mind
[01:27] <dominicdinada> oh :/ they are in the repo i believe
[01:27] <Cookiekiller> to fix it you have to run two drivers, nouveau for booting up and nvidia for running X this isn't makable :-P
[01:27] <gregcoit> dominicdinada: yes, they are, but prior versions of kubuntu (and the current version of ubuntu) has the ability to "enable restricted drivers"
[01:28] <dominicdinada> gregcoit:  hmmm maybe thats the problem i am having also
[01:28] <gregcoit> it was in system settings, but I don't see it.  am i blind?
[01:28] <FeasibilityStudy> I just followed the tutorial on the forums for restricted formats
[01:29] <gregcoit> FeasibilityStudy: link please?
[01:29] <FeasibilityStudy> gregcoit: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[01:31] <gregcoit> FeasibilityStudy: that's restricted formats, not restricted drivers....
[01:31] <FeasibilityStudy> Anyone know how to configure services?    See, the problem is that sysv-rc doesnt work anymore because some services are now Upstart
[01:32] <wsjunior> FeasibilityStudy: workaround foun!
[01:32] <FeasibilityStudy> and Upstart has zero documentation
[01:32] <gregcoit> FeasibilityStudy: ok, thanks - it used to be in system-settings...

[01:44] <jonathan__> could somebody help me, please?
[01:44] <maco> jonathan__: ask your question, and maybe
[01:45] <jonathan__> i'm about to do de update to the new Lucid version
[01:45] <jonathan__> i wanna know if i'll be able to use de computer during this process or if i have to leave it work alone
[01:46] <maco> sure you can
[01:46] <maco> firefox will at some point want to be unusable (right in the midst of the firefox upgrade)
[01:46] <jonathan__> it will continue stable during the process, i mean, it wont restart like Windows do?
[01:46] <maco> itll ask you to reboot but will not force it or automate it
[01:47] <jonathan__> great!
[01:47] <jonathan__> thank you!
[01:47] <maco> as things are upgraded those individual apps may need to be restarted, but really, firefox is the only one i can think of thats ornery about that
[01:48] <jonathan__> actually i got another doubt...
[01:48] <jonathan__> i've installed the Ubuntu 9.10 version
[01:49] <jonathan__> and then i downloaded that kubuntu patch
[01:49] <jonathan__> so i'm running on KDE now, but i can still choose for Gnome if i want to
[01:50] <jonathan__> now a message here shows that there is a new kubuntu version available
[01:50] <maco> thats just because its the kubuntu updater doing the informing
[01:50] <jonathan__> will update only the KDE or Gnome aswell?
[01:50] <maco> if you were logged into gnome right now itd say ubuntu
[01:50] <maco> itll upgrade the entire system, yes
[01:51] <jonathan__> ok
[01:51] <jonathan__> thank you again
[01:51] <maco> no problem :)
[01:51] <jonathan__> was very helpful

[03:23] <cjae> anyone using the properitary nvidia driver, do the windows, namely gtk windows still pop up on the wrong screens in twinview
[03:26] <cjae> would like to not use the properitary driver though but it causes the tv to skip and I cant seem to find xorg.comf
[03:26] <cjae> conf
[03:32] <das> could someone tell me how to change themes on licid?
[03:32] <wllkmbll> How can I access Synaptic through Kubuntu?
[03:33] <das> wllkmbll: appl/system/ software mngmt
[03:34] <das> sp lucid
[03:35] <wllkmbll> das: Thank you, I noticed it is installing multiple dependancies, but it's all gibberish to me. Do you know if it will install GNOME?
[03:35] <islington> wllkmbll: no
[03:36] <das> wllkmbll: kubuntu is a derivitive of ubuntu you can choose at login gnome or kde
[03:36] <wllkmbll> dasdas: system setting > apperance > style > workspace
[03:36] <das> wllkmbll: kde isjust a diff desktop env
[03:36] <scriptx> I just upgraded one of my boxes to 10.04, and the slash screen looks like it's in 16bit color.. anyone else experience this? it really looks like crap!!
[03:36] <wllkmbll> das: system setting > apperance > style > workspace, sorry typed your name twice lol
[03:37] <wllkmbll> Can someone explain to me how this all works and the difference, or if that's off topic can you tell me where to go to find out?
[03:37] <das> scriptx: yeah they r still working on graphics unless you rusing proprietary drivers it will look that way
[03:38] <scriptx> das:  thanks
[03:38] <scriptx> thought it might have been a frame buffer issue or something
[03:39] <das> wllkmbll: essentially the are the same thing just preference really
[03:40] <das> wllkmbll: i use kde becouse its more user freindly to me
[03:40] <wllkmbll> das: I picked kde because I like the looks better, but there's a lot more stuff out there on ubuntu. I wish there was more kubuntu merchandise, lol
[03:40] <das> wllkmbll:  ithink kde has more bells and whistles
[03:41] <das> wllkmbll: no merch kde hassame stuff free software
[03:41] <wllkmbll> das: do you know how I can get more window effects? Can I use something like compiz in kde?
[03:42] <das> wllkmbll:  certainly its allready installed by default but you have to install proprietary drivers to use 3d effects
[03:43] <wllkmbll> das:I bet that will take some technical know-how, right?
[03:44] <das> wllkmbll: k-menu/system settings/esktop/all effects
[03:45] <wllkmbll> das: I'm trying to figure out if I can get more effects than that. I like the snow effect and I with there were more like it.
[03:45] <Landgraf> hi, all!
[03:45] <das> wllkmbll: k-menu/system/hardware drivers to scan for your graphics card
[03:45] <wllkmbll> landgraf: Hello!
[03:46] <islington> wllkmbll: if you want more effects I would suggest installing compiz and switching to it rather than use kwin
[03:46] <Landgraf> I have disabled add-button at VPN-connection? what do?
[03:46] <das> wllkmbll:  you can install compizz but it doesnt work well with kde
[03:47] <das> wllkmbll: yeah you have to install diff destopmnger
[03:47] <wllkmbll> islington: I think I'll stick with kwin... lol
[03:48] <das> wllkmbll:  no it works but you need to know how to switch between lol'
[03:49] <das> wllkmbll: play around with it youll get eventuallylol
[03:49] <wllkmbll> This is a little off topic, but can either of you recommed some kool features of KDE to play around with?
[03:54] <islington> wllkmbll: um..kdegames? plasmoids? krunner?
[03:54] <Landgraf> I have disabled add-button at VPN-connection? what do?
[03:55] <wllkmbll> islington: I'm a little depressed by the lack of plasmoids. There aren't very many to choose from that I've found
[03:56] <islington> wllkmbll: did you click the add new plasmoids button?
[03:57] <ForgeAus> hmmm intersting Hardy's on here! lol
[03:57] <das> wllkmbll: alien arena cube2 savage2
[03:57] <wllkmbll> No, how do I do that?
[03:58] <islington> wllkmbll: click the cashew (thing in the corner, hit add widgets, hit get new widgets button
[04:06] <reza> congrats on a beautiful release
[04:07] <reza> can anyone answer some basic questions about powerdevil?
[04:09] <olskolirc> how in the world do I get back to a normal desktop on Lucid?  I have all these system icons on my desktop with a search bar - i don't want that and i can't right click my desktop to put it back nothing happens
[04:09] <reza> did the installation go smoothly?
[04:11] <reza> olskolirc: did the installation go smoothly?
[04:11] <olskolirc> yes reza it was an upgrade from karamik
[04:12] <reza> is a clean install out of the question?
[04:12] <olskolirc> its back to normal now i had to fuss with it
[04:12] <olskolirc> thanks
[04:12] <reza> ok
[04:12] <olskolirc> absolutely out of the question lol
[04:13] <reza> haha, do you know anything about the power management in lucid?
[04:20] <wllkmbll> Is there a way to reset my desktop pannels to their default?
[04:21] <wllkmbll> Nvm, I fixed my problem
[04:26] <Lewiis> whenever i turn of my computer I see a "Checking Battery State" message, is there anyway to remove this check since my computer doesn't have a battery?
[04:26] <Lewiis> (ie it's a PC)
[04:26] <EvaZq> how can chek if my video car was propetly detected ?
[04:26] <EvaZq> card*
[04:29] <dolomite> EvaZq: do you want to check if the hardware is detected or the correct driver is installed?
[04:29] <EvaZq> hadware detection
[04:30] <dolomite> lspci
[04:30] <EvaZq> thanks
[04:31] <dolomite> Lewiis: I get the same line and it seems unnecessary; but I don't feel like it hangs on that or anything
[04:33] <Lewiis> dolomite: no, it doesn't seem to hang for me either, i just thought it might cut startup and shutdown time a little
[04:34] <dolomite> I don't know how to PM you (how?). I can only imagine it's powerdevil controlling that process
[04:36] <Lewiis> dolomite:  I have PM'd you instructions on how to PM, did you get it?
[04:36] <dolomite> yes I did
[04:37] <dolomite> Lewiis: if I start my message with your name, does the message stand out to you?
[04:37] <dolomite> let me rephrase: when you address me in your message, it's highlighted in my IRC program.
[04:39] <progre55> hi people! I installed konversation from kde on my ubuntu, and it installed a bunch of kde packages (around 200+ Mb). is it possible to remove it together with all those kde-based packages? when I try to remove konversation, it just wants to remove libindicate-qt0, konversation. Suggestions, please?
[04:39] <Lewiis> i think there's an autoremove switch
[04:40] <Lewiis> let me just check progre55
[04:40] <progre55> Lewiis: thanks man, appreciate
[04:41] <Lewiis> sudo apt-get autoremove should remove all packages with no dependencies... i am led to believe
[04:41] <dolomite> correct
[04:42] <dolomite> progre55: first do sudo apt-get remove konversation. then do sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:42] <progre55> yes but it's only removing one package other than konversation, libindicate-qt0
[04:43] <dolomite> so you've already removed konversation?
[04:43] <progre55> is there some kind of central package that I could remove, which in turn would remove the rest of the kde packages by autoremove?
[04:43] <progre55> yeah, I've removed it..
[04:43] <dolomite> and when you run autoremove, it only removes libindicate?
[04:44] <progre55> and it said "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libindicate-qt0"
[04:44] <dolomite> if apt decides the other packages are being used then they are.
[04:44] <dolomite> you don't want to go around removing packages willy-nilly
[04:45] <progre55> well actually now, when booting, I can choose whether I want to log into gnome or kde =)
[04:45] <progre55> maybe that's why the system thinks kde is being used
[04:45] <dolomite> yeah, there you go
[04:45] <progre55> so is there a sort of a meta-package?
[04:46] <dolomite> I can't answer that with certainty; I don't want to break your system.
[04:46] <progre55> maybe smth like "kdebase-runtime"?
[04:46] <progre55> which by removal would drag all the rest with itself..
[04:47] <progre55> well, apparently in this case not all, but most.. 19 packages worth 82.1 Mb =)
[04:48] <dolomite> open up your package manager and do a search for kde
[04:48] <dolomite> if there is a meta-package, it'll be something like kde-desktop
[04:48] <progre55> oh, sec
[04:48] <bazhang> kubuntu-desktop
[04:48] <pepee> kubuntu-desktop
[04:48] <bazhang> :)
[04:48] <pepee> hi people :D
[04:48] <dolomite> hah, about time!
[04:49] <progre55> lol
[04:49] <progre55> no, I dont have that installed apparently
[04:49] <pepee> I wanna use another DE...
[04:49] <pepee> KDE eats memory
[04:50] <pepee> what if I install lubuntu/xubuntu, and leave kde installed? will it cause problems?
[04:50] <progre55> well, I guess I'll leave it as it is.. I might log into kde one day =)
[04:51] <dolomite> pepee: lubuntu/xubuntu are entirely different distributions
[04:51] <dolomite> (in the sense that you'll just end up installing them and lose kde)
[04:52] <bazhang> pepee, no problems, install lubuntu-desktop package and switch to it in login window
[04:52] <pepee> dolomite, don't think so, kdm will manage them
[04:52] <progre55> oh actually, I'm sure I'll install k3b, so it would anyways install most of the kde packages..
[04:52] <bazhang> pepee, you wont lose anything and can go back to kde when you wish
[04:53] <pepee> I don't wanna remove KDE, I'll just install another DE and "test" them
[04:53] <progre55> oh, this is what I got from the ubuntu channel: "If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a terminal"
[04:53] <dolomite> why are you telling us kubuntuers?
[04:53] <progre55> oops =)
[04:54] <dolomite> bazhang: can you help me understand powerdevil?
[04:54] <pepee> well, I'll try installing
[04:54] <progre55> well, I've got nothing against kubuntu.. actually used to use it myself
[04:54] <pepee> aptitude didn't find incompatibilities...
[04:54] <powerinside> Will an ubuntu alternate CD work for upgrading a kubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 ?
[04:54] <progre55> but having 2 systems.. cant affort that with my hard disk capasity )
[04:54] <pepee> powerinside, yep
[04:55] <bazhang> dolomite, what is powerdevil, may I ask
[04:55] <pepee> powerinside, there's an app in the cd for upgrading from it
[04:55] <dolomite> bazhang, I'm led to believe that it's the kde power management tool; replaced my beloved kpowersave
[04:55] <pepee> powerinside, just mount the cd image and run /cdrom/cdromupgrade or something like that
[04:55] <Lewiis> I've just upgraded yo 10.04 and my menu's now scroll up poorly, they kind of jump up jaggedly, i have 195 nvidia drivers installed, their performance just seems worse.  Any ideas?
[04:56] <pepee> Lewiis, try reinstalling the driver
[04:56] <pepee> Lewiis, are you sure the module/driver is running?
[04:56] <pepee> Lewiis, lsmod | grep nvidia
[04:57] <Lewiis> it returns a line
[04:57] <thomas__> anyone else having problems with nvidia server settings after the distro update?
[04:57] <pepee> Lewiis, paste it here
[04:57] <Lewiis> nvidia 10799466 38
[04:57] <dolomite> thomas__, do you mean, nvidia-settings?
[04:57] <scriptx> any known issues compiling vmware modules in ubuntu 10.04 (kernel 2.6.32-21-generic)?
[04:57] <bazhang> thomas__, sure, need to boot in lower resolution then use hardware drivers? such as that?
[04:57] <thomas__> ive installed hardware drivers
[04:58] <thomas__> its just when i go to change digital vibrance its just closes now?
[04:58] <pepee> Lewiis, ok, it's running, but I suppose it had to return more than 1 line
[04:58] <pepee> Lewiis, try reconfiguring the driver package or reinstalling it
[04:59] <powerinside_> sorry my net dropped out, repeating question : I have xubuntu 9.10 on another system too... so a 10.04 ubuntu alternate cd can also upgrade that?
[04:59] <Lewiis> is there an easy way to reinstall it without killing my X server and stuff?
[05:00] <cockaine> what do i use to unzip?
[05:00] <cockaine> winrar?
[05:00] <pepee> Lewiis, no
[05:00] <pepee> cockaine, apt-cache search unzip
[05:00] <pepee> cockaine, or use ark
[05:00] <dolomite> thomas__, try running nvidia-settings from a terminal. when it crashes, you should see an error output
[05:00] <Lewiis> thanks pepee
[05:00] <pepee> there's a package for rar files too
[05:00] <pepee> Lewiis, np
[05:02] <cockaine> pepee:  but this file has a rar ext
[05:02] <pepee> cockaine, aptitude install unrar
[05:03] <cockaine> kk

[05:14] <robert__> It worked!!!!
[05:14] <robert__> thanks alot dolemite
[05:14] <pepee> EvaZq, yeah
[05:15] <dolomite> robert__: np, glad it worked; keep this in mind as a common solution. since you've upgraded, somethings might need to be reinstalled
[05:15] <pepee> EvaZq, all versions have had integrated drivers
[05:15] <robert__> duly noted
[05:15] <progre55> lol
[05:15] <robert__> I'll remember those sudos
[05:15] <EvaZq> yes but this is the first time that i had issues with the drivers
[05:15] <progre55> you guys remember I wanted to remove a couple of kde packages? :)
[05:15] <EvaZq> i mean i use ubuntu since 7.X
[05:15] <pepee> EvaZq, what problems?
[05:15] <dolomite> progre55: yes
[05:16] <progre55> haha, I ended up installing kubuntu-desktop :)
[05:16] <EvaZq> i have a glitch on my screen
[05:16] <progre55> and damn, it's sooo much prettier than ubuntu..
[05:16] <EvaZq> there is a video on youtube that shows the problem
[05:16] <EvaZq> do you want te link ?
[05:16] <pepee> ok
[05:16] <dolomite> progre55: after all that complaining? :) it's beautiful huh?
[05:16] <pepee> EvaZq, yes
[05:17] <progre55> dolomite: I was not complaining =) I just had it partially, and wasnt even able to log in. and had never logged in
[05:17] <EvaZq> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSPS7y6MCXc
[05:17] <progre55> dolomite: and wanted to see the look and feel now, and installed kubuntu-desktop, and it's awesome!
[05:17] <dolomite> progre55: so how about a clean install of kubuntu? join our side
[05:17] <EvaZq> i have the same problem not the scan lines the glitch
[05:17] <progre55> I used to use kde like 2-3 years ago
[05:18] <progre55> dolomite: well, I'll have ubuntu+kubuntu for now =) but for sure, will be logging into kde :P
[05:19] <EvaZq> can i install kde an gnome at the same time ?
[05:19] <progre55> EvaZq: that's what I've just done :) sure you can
[05:19] <robert__> for a bit of ubuntu humor, one time I went to my terminal and just for laughs I typed "sudo apt-get install my balls" and it told me I had to do it manually LAWL
[05:19] <dolomite> progre55: yeah, I was kidding. there's no need to get rid of ubuntu. KDE4.4 is really great.
[05:19] <progre55> robert__: lmao :D
[05:19] <EvaZq> lol
[05:20] <pepee> EvaZq, you have to tell your problem to the driver maintainers
[05:20] <progre55> dolomite: but not really sure what to do with that "desktop folder" :)
[05:20] <dolomite> robert__: glad you are learning your command line stuff
[05:20] <EvaZq> wich is ?
[05:21] <EvaZq> intel ? :S
[05:21] <pepee> EvaZq, I know one of them: /msg Sarvatt
[05:21] <EvaZq> i am new at irc stuff
[05:21] <EvaZq> so i just do that ?
[05:21] <dolomite> progre55: I don't ever use mine
[05:21] <robert__> thanks man, since i left windows i've been very happy with linux, and I think I've learned quite a bit about computers since then. This truly is the people's OS.
[05:21] <pepee> EvaZq, no, the maintainers of the ubuntu package
[05:21] <pepee> EvaZq, yep, msg him
[05:21] <EvaZq> yes i know but the /msg is an irc
[05:22] <EvaZq> command isn't it ?
[05:22] <pepee> yes
[05:22] <EvaZq> so i type that and then the issue ?
[05:22] <EvaZq> sorry really new :S
[05:23] <pepee> Sarvatt is his nickname
[05:24] <pepee> EvaZq, did you upgrade to lucid?
[05:24] <progre55> damn, I'm loving it =)
[05:24] <EvaZq> hummm
[05:24] <EvaZq> no
[05:25] <EvaZq> i downladed a complete vercion
[05:25] <progre55> dolomite: btw, where do I pin my stuff? only into my "favorites" under kmenu?
[05:25] <EvaZq> actually the beta
[05:25] <EvaZq> in the beta version that happens a lot
[05:25] <pepee> EvaZq, karmic?
[05:25] <EvaZq> in the LTS it happens less
[05:25] <EvaZq> lucid
[05:25] <dolomite> progre55: you mean application links and folders? there's a widget for that stuff
[05:25] <EvaZq> apt-get install kde-desktop ?
[05:26] <EvaZq> that's what you did ?
[05:26] <dolomite> progre55: I only have my conky and the moon phase widget on my desktop
[05:26] <progre55> dolomite: is it the "desktop-folder" stuff?
[05:27] <pepee> EvaZq, lucid was released yesterday
[05:27] <EvaZq> yes
[05:27] <progre55> dolomite: if you could please guide me on how to install that moon phase widget? :)
[05:27] <pepee> EvaZq, try doing an update
[05:27] <EvaZq> i downloaded yesterday
[05:27] <EvaZq> and installed today
[05:27] <dolomite> progre55: click that icon in the upper right corner and add a widget called folder view then configure it for ~/Desktop
[05:27] <pepee> ahh ok
[05:28] <dolomite> progre55: the moon phase widget is called luna
[05:28] <pepee> EvaZq, well, talk with Sarvatt
[05:28] <EvaZq> but before that i was ussing the beta relase
[05:28] <EvaZq> and that glitch happens a lot
[05:28] <EvaZq> i' had another computer with ubuntu and gnome
[05:28] <EvaZq> if i install kde-desktop
[05:29] <EvaZq> i can switch betwen desktops ?
[05:29] <EvaZq> or i can not ?
[05:29] <dolomite> EvaZq: install kubuntu-desktop
[05:29] <dolomite> EvaZq: then you'll be able to switch between gnome and kde at the login screen
[05:30] <EvaZq> perfect i will do it
[05:31] <EvaZq> what about the aplications ?
[05:31] <progre55> EvaZq: you're gonna love it =)
[05:31] <EvaZq> they still ?

[05:37] <dolomite> progre55: I'm leaving my computer now; have fun with kde!
[05:38] <progre55> dolomite: thanks man, appreciate all the help =)
[05:40] <powerinside> how big are the upgrades to 10.04 from 9.10 roughly around for ,say kubuntu?
[05:45] <Zombie__> hi
[05:45] <Zombie__> :)
[05:47] <Ukyoi> 不知这个irc频道有中国人否……
[05:47] <Zombie__> Please write English
[05:48] <Ukyoi> Sorry, I just wonder if there is any Chinese.
[05:48] <Ukyoi> I'm not good at English.
[05:48] <bazhang> !cn
[05:49] <Ukyoi> Yeah.
[05:49] <EvaZq> see you
[05:49] <bazhang>   /join #ubuntu-cn
[05:49] <Ukyoi> Oh, thanks.
[05:50] <Zombie__> hmmmm
[05:51] <noor> hello , i installed kubuntu desk top on mu ubuntu but i fell its slow
[05:52] <noor> how could i make it work faster
[05:52] <Ukyoi> You may try to turn off the graphic effects.
[05:52] <Ukyoi> Alt+Shift+F12
[05:54] <noor> yes its faster now thank you
[05:55] <Ukyoi> Don't mention it. The effects of KDE is slower than Gnome.
[05:56] <noor> mmm
[05:57] <noor> i installed xampp before and removed it
[05:57] <noor> now i try to install it again
[05:57] <noor> it gives me error
[05:58] <bazhang> xampp is not supported.
[05:58] <bazhang> try lamp
[05:58] <bazhang> !lamp > noor
[05:58] <Zombie_> I'm having trouble to log out
[05:59] <powerinside> @Ukyoi , try changing the composting type to OpenGL.. it might be in xrender mode which is usually slower. OpenGL will be fast if you got a moderately good card
[05:59] <Zombie_> I was using Karmic then yesterday I've upgraded to Lucid
[05:59] <Zombie_> now when I want to log out the screen went black
[05:59] <Zombie_> any solution?
[05:59] <Ukyoi> I'm using OpenGL now. But my PC is old.
[06:00] <noor> bazhang : is it easy to use like xampp the propleme im new to linux and already using xammp on windows so im afraid i cant fiend it easy for me
[06:00] <powerinside> Ok in that case dont even think about composting effects
[06:01] <Ukyoi> I'll leave. Cya.
[06:14] <progre55> hey guys, why isn't my amarok playing any music?
[06:14] <EvaZq> do you have the codecs ?
[06:14] <progre55> hmm.. I'm not really sure )
[06:14] <progre55> well I used to play music on gnome..
[06:15] <progre55> and just installed kubuntu-desktop over it
[06:15] <EvaZq> ooooh
[06:15] <progre55> btw, did you install it?
[06:16] <EvaZq> still downloading
[06:16] <EvaZq> 83 %
[06:16] <progre55> huh? downloading..
[06:16] <progre55> wow, it's been like half an hour now
[06:16] <ForgeAus> sory progre55 I come in late in the convo what did you have before you apt-got kubuntu-desktop :)
[06:17] <noor> why i cant use su with ubuntu it dont accept my password
[06:17] <EvaZq> yes really poor internet conection
[06:17] <progre55> ForgeAus: ubuntu, gnome
[06:17] <noor> how could i put password for root
[06:17] <ForgeAus> IC... yeah well pretty much has to be either ubuntu, xubuntu or a derivative anyway...
[06:17] <EvaZq> noor sudo passwrd
[06:18] <progre55> ForgeAus: now I just can switch between gnome and kde while logging in =)
[06:18] <progre55> noor: that's a really bad idea actually
[06:18] <noor> sudo: passwrd: command not found
[06:18] <progre55> passwd
[06:19] <progre55> noor: but I wouldnt suggest that..
[06:19] <EvaZq> sorry
[06:19] <noor> why
[06:19] <EvaZq> it0s passwd
[06:19] <EvaZq> why not
[06:19] <EvaZq> ?
[06:19] <EvaZq> jajajaaja
[06:19] <progre55> noor: cause it's a bad idea activating password for root
[06:19] <noor> so whin i want to use root acess what shal i do
[06:19] <progre55> just have it for your user
[06:19] <guest> progre55:  Did you try installing kubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[06:20] <EvaZq> it's a bad idea when you talk about security
[06:20] <progre55> and have the user in the sudoers
[06:20] <progre55> guest: oh, not really, let me try it
[06:20] <EvaZq> you should put
[06:20] <EvaZq> sudo
[06:20] <EvaZq> before your command
[06:20] <progre55> noor: sudo mycommandhere
[06:20] <noor> ok thank you
[06:20] <progre55> noor: or you can "sudo bash" first
[06:21] <progre55> noor: then you would be running all your commands under root
[06:21] <progre55> noor: but sudo bashing is also bad, cause you might forget that you are a super user..
[06:21] <EvaZq> sudo bash is not the same thing that su ?
[06:21] <progre55> noor: so better just put "sudo" every time before your commands
[06:22] <noor> ok i will
[06:22] <progre55> yeah it's the same
[06:22] <noor> the most important is to setup my apps :)
[06:22] <EvaZq> ok
[06:22] <noor> no propleme write sudo everytme
[06:22] <progre55> oh btw, I'm kinda new to kde.. what the hack is plasma-desktop and why is it eating my cpu? )
[06:22] <guest> I figured, but worth a try
[06:23] <Ender2070> its your desktop
[06:23] <EvaZq> lol
[06:23] <progre55> hmm
[06:23] <EvaZq> those are the destkop effects right ?
[06:23] <progre55> I guess I have too many widgets then =)
[06:23] <Ender2070> maybe in kubuntu
[06:23] <kubuntukrazy> howdy.  i just did the upgrade to 10.04 on my main PC and it seemed to go ok, until i tried to login.  i enter my password, hit enter, and it starts to show the loading screen but BOOM... kicks me back to the login prompt.
[06:23] <Ender2070> lol
[06:24] <kubuntukrazy> what's up with that?
[06:24] <Ender2070> old xorg
[06:24] <progre55> reconfigure your xorg
[06:24] <progre55> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:24] <Ender2070> the version is old
[06:25] <Ender2070> the new xorg works fine with desktop effects, but kubuntu doesnt have it
[06:26] <progre55> hmm.. I have pulseaudio running on kubuntu =)
[06:26] <Ender2070> pulseaudio is ftw
[06:27] <EvaZq> wo wo wo wo wo
[06:27] <EvaZq> kdm configuration
[06:27] <EvaZq> gdm or kdm ?
[06:27] <progre55> huh?
[06:27] <progre55> oh  you mean the default one
[06:27] <progre55> I chose gdm =)
[06:28] <Ender2070> kdm is better
[06:28] <EvaZq> kdm is better ?
[06:28] <progre55> aha, go to the #ubuntu channel, they'll say gdm is better )
[06:28] <EvaZq> lol
[06:28] <EvaZq> jajjajjaa
[06:29] <progre55> damn, amarok still not working..
[06:29] <Barridus> hmm, can anyone tell me where the main menu editor is now?  haven't used kde in a whiiiiiiiiiiiiile
[06:29] <Ender2070> yeah but the noobs in #ubuntu use gnome too
[06:31] <EvaZq> use
[06:31] <progre55> oh now I see why.. it says "The audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC6262 Analog) does not work"
[06:31] <EvaZq> songbird
[06:32] <progre55> but it does.. when I test it from the settings..
[06:32] <progre55> huh
[06:33] <progre55> hooray pulseaudio =)
[06:33] <progre55> set it as default on the very top, now playing =)
[06:34] <progre55> omg, it's freaking 7.34am here, and I havent slept yet!
[06:34] <EvaZq> woooo

[06:39] <Barridus> hmm, can anyone tell me where the main menu editor is now?
[06:40] <maple1> I have the x86 version installed

[06:41] <maple1> what amp sim sw you use?
[06:42] <progre55>  where's the "media" button in kubuntu?? I mean, a keyboard button
[06:43] <EvaZq> progress
[06:43] <progre55> to use with amarok
[06:43] <progre55> EvaZq: yep?
[06:43] <maple1> a recommendation. get a cracked version of revalver MKII/III VST and load only the cabinet speaker module, and then run your cracked version of guitar rig 4/amplitube 3 VST through that. disable any and all cabs in guitar rig/amplitube and within revalver (should be last in the chain) load a guitarhack impules (they're the best on the web)
[06:43] <EvaZq> is there a desktop wall effect in kde ?
[06:43] <maple1> impulse*
[06:43] <progre55> EvaZq: you asking me? I just installed it =)

[07:06] <maple1> I'm  700lbs. but my personality is anorexic
[07:06] <maple1> I promise
[07:06] <EvaZq> lol
[07:06] <progre55> rohan: you cant.. need to do it step by step..
[07:06] <progre55> rohan: 8.10, 9.04, 9.10 and only then 10.04
[07:06] <EvaZq> progress i think that i'm going to still with gnome
[07:06] <maple1> is KDE still worse than vista/
[07:06] <maple1> ?
[07:06] <progre55> EvaZq: why? kde too slow? )
[07:07] <EvaZq> yes
[07:07] <progre55> maple1: much better
[07:07] <vadi01> kde rocks
[07:07] <EvaZq> much better
[07:07] <EvaZq> but
[07:07] <vadi01> \o/
[07:07] <maple1> I don't remember KDE ever being efficient
[07:07] <EvaZq> i don0t know what happen
[07:07] <maple1> except in the early days
[07:07] <maple1> like late 90s-2001
[07:07] <progre55> EvaZq: throw out your comp and buy a more powerful one =)
[07:07] <maple1> when it would be fast on a pentium pro
[07:07] <EvaZq> lol
[07:07] <cockaine> KDE isnt slow
[07:07] <rohan> progre55: oops.. i thought since ubuntu can be upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, kubuntu can too
[07:07] <cockaine> liez!
[07:08] <EvaZq> my next computer it's goiing to be a macbook pro
[07:08] <progre55> rohan: huh? ubuntu can? didnt know that..
[07:08] <progre55> rohan: well then if ubuntu can, then I'm sure kubuntu can, too )
[07:08] <maple1> gnome is fast but its so uninspiring
[07:08] <maple1> it's the windows 3.1 of linux GUIs
[07:08] <EvaZq> @maple1 i agree
[07:08] <rohan> progre55: yes, that's what is strange -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades -- have a look at the kubuntu section
[07:09] <progre55> rohan: oh yeah, cause 8.04 is LTS
[07:09] <progre55> rohan: but you wouldnt be able to upgrate from 8.10 to 10.04 directly
[07:10] <progre55> my bad, forgot it was LTS )
[07:10] <EvaZq> what LTS means ?
[07:11] <progre55> long term support
[07:11] <EvaZq> ooooooooooooo
[07:11] <EvaZq> tnkx
[07:12] <rohan> progre55: right
[07:13] <progre55> rohan: "Please note: upgrades from Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) are not supported, a fresh install is needed."
[07:13] <progre55> rohan: http://www.kubuntu.org/news
[07:13] <progre55> rohan: so just fresh-install =)
[07:13] <rohan> wow how did i miss that! thanks, progre55
[07:13] <progre55> I had karmic, but still fresh installed to lucid =)
[07:14] <progre55> rohan: google is powerful :P
[07:14] <EvaZq> are you using open gl ?
[07:14] <progre55> oh btw, people
[07:14] <wrr_> network management has been disabled,how to restart
[07:14] <wrr_> help,please
[07:15] <eteroul> Is there anyone who can help me over reading of pdf files using Apache PDFBOX?
[07:15] <progre55> when booting, my splash-screen is really bad quality, like 480x600 or smth.. and it looks so bad. any ways to improve it??
[07:16] <progre55> wrr_: I know on ubuntu you alt+f2 and run "nm-applet". mb the same here..
[07:16] <progre55> wrr_: I'm kinda new to kubuntu, so cant be sure =)
[07:16] <wrr_> thank you,i'll try
[07:16] <eteroul> progre55, yes , you can use splash screen of your choice by modifying in boot file.
[07:16] <progre55> oh wait, alt+f2 is search )
[07:16] <EvaZq> progress you are a guruuu jajaajaja
[07:17] <progre55> wrr_: you could run it on terminal "nm-applet &"
[07:17] <EvaZq> leaving to gnome again
[07:17] <progre55> EvaZq: luck )
[07:17] <wrr_> thank you
[07:17] <cockaine> hmm
[07:17] <progre55> eteroul: how? where?
[07:18] <cockaine> im afraid to cancel the update D:
[07:18] <rohan> no, on kubuntu you add the network manager plasmoid to the panel
[07:18] <progre55> oh =)
[07:18] <eteroul> First, go to /boot/grub folder.
[07:19] <progre55> wrr_: ^^
[07:19] <EvaZq> well
[07:19] <EvaZq>  i have to admit
[07:19] <eteroul> And then open grub.cfg
[07:19] <EvaZq> that KDE looks muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better
[07:19] <EvaZq> than gnome
[07:19] <EvaZq> but i need the performas of gnome
[07:19] <EvaZq> U_U
[07:19] <progre55> eteroul: done that )
[07:19] <progre55> EvaZq: +1
[07:20] <EvaZq> wa ?
[07:20] <eteroul> progre55 what changes have you made in the file?
[07:20] <progre55> EvaZq: meaning, I agree )
[07:20] <progre55> eteroul: nothing yet.. just going through
[07:21] <progre55> eteroul: but are you sure it's the right place for configing the splash screen, not the grub menu?
[07:21] <cockaine> X.X
[07:21] <cockaine> i killed the desktop! how do i put it back on?
[07:22] <progre55> which desktop?
[07:22] <cockaine> the desktop bar
[07:22] <eteroul> progre55: I think with most probability.
[07:22] <progre55> sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart?
[07:22] <cockaine> hm
[07:22] <progre55> oh, not sure about the desktop bar then
[07:22] <EvaZq> on KDE or gnome ?
[07:23] <cockaine> KDE
[07:23] <EvaZq> no sorry :S

[07:37] <EvaZq> autoremove
[07:37] <progre55> just autoremove?
[07:38] <EvaZq> yes :S
[07:38] <progre55> EvaZq: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a terminal

[07:39] <progre55> np
[07:39] <EvaZq> i'm just a noob U_U
[07:40] <progre55> so am I, actually =)
[07:42] <progre55> huh, wtf. I click ctrl+shift+t on kterminal, and it splits my screen into 2, then 3. how do I change it back? )
[07:42] <progre55> just wanted to open a new tab..
[07:42] <EvaZq> hummm

[07:43] <progre55> hmm.. donno
[07:43] <progre55> what if you just change the fonts and stuff?
[07:43] <EvaZq> i did it
[07:43] <EvaZq> but they still :S
[07:46] <zoiss> hey guys. did anyone experience the message indicator symbol to be misaligned? mine is not centered. neither horizontaly nor vertically :]
[07:51] <ForgeAus> wow thats interesting I never knew Debian predated redhat
[07:51] <ForgeAus> it doesn't suprise me that slackware predated both of them tho lol
[07:54] <EvaZq> progre55 thanks for all your help
[07:54] <EvaZq> (Y)
[07:55] <progre55> EvaZq: did it work?
[07:56] <progre55> what was the name of that application for mac-like menu icons?
[07:57] <ForgeAus> hehe... baghira had mac theming but KDE4 I don't think has baghira ...
[07:57] <EvaZq> nope
[07:58] <EvaZq> it didn't
[07:58] <ForgeAus> nless someone else picks up the project It sounded like the guy who made it wasn't going to either...
[07:58] <EvaZq> but doesn't matter
[07:58] <EvaZq> i will make a clean install again
[07:59] <ForgeAus> firefox has a nice Crystal Qute theme but I dunno what app does mac-like menu icons... it could just be an icon theme you might find on kde-look.org I'm not sure
[07:59] <progre55> ForgeAus: docky, apparently )
[07:59] <ForgeAus> docky? ... ohh kay I'll have a look
[07:59] <progre55> EvaZq: sorry to hear that, man
[08:00] <progre55> well arright, I'm off to bed now..
[08:00] <progre55> 9am! 0_o
[08:00] <progre55> take care people
[08:00] <progre55> EvaZq: good luck dude =)
[08:00] <ForgeAus> AVN would have made a nice Dock for Kubuntu had it not gone so Gnome-based
[08:01] <ForgeAus> oops AWN
[08:01] <ForgeAus> (Avant Window Navagator) or something like that, from memory...
[08:11] <progre55> hey people, still, the wallpaper that is shown after the grub menu, before the login screen is really bad quality (low resolution). Any fixes, please?
[08:14] <vadi01> guys am going to install kubuntu 10.0.4 now. hope no serious hitches are there or should i just stick to 9.04?
[08:14] <SilverCode> progre55: what video driver you using?
[08:14] <colorsoundboy> how can i make akonadi working it is really bad stuff :| I can't get into addressbook :|
[08:14] <progre55> SilverCode: ATI radeon
[08:14] <progre55> 4500 Series
[08:15] <SilverCode> colorsoundboy: good luck, I've been struggling with akonadi since KDE4.4 was released ... good luck :)
[08:15] <SilverCode> progre55: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/551290
[08:16] <SilverCode> progre55: that is logged for nvidia binary driver + kubuntu, but it may be the same thing you have
[08:16] <colorsoundboy> so better disable the akonadi software ?
[08:16] <progre55> SilverCode: aha, thanks
[08:16] <SilverCode> colorsoundboy: I don't think you can if you plan on using Kontact
[08:17] <SilverCode> colorsoundboy: or much of KDE for that matter
[08:17] <colorsoundboy> pffff why they put them into this then if it is not working :)
[08:18] <SilverCode> colorsoundboy: *shrug* it is the KDE guys. KDE4.4 uses akonadi for all contact, calendar etc type things
[08:18] <SilverCode> colorsoundboy: despite it being very broken
[08:19] <colorsoundboy> yes it is restart the server which is helping a bit
[08:35] <vadi01> damn seems nvidia is going to be  problem with kubuntu
[08:35] <vadi01> they say its fixed but from the compaints i see seems its not
[08:40] <madura> vadi01: same with ati
[08:44] <madura> desktop fps drops to 49 with open drivers :S
[08:48] <justus> hi
[08:50] <madura> justus: hi
[08:50] <justus> I'm really starting to freak out now, I try to use multiple monitors here, but even now after it finally kind of works, the second screen is just black and I can't do anything on it
[08:51] <justus> I allready did a little research and found exactly nothing that was both helpful and understandable
[08:51] <madura> justus: ati or nvidia?
[08:51] <justus> nvidia
[08:52] <justus> this here: http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8756/README/appendix-p.html
[08:52] <justus> seems to be not for me, because I want the screens to operate as one
[08:52] <madura> i dont know much about dual head tho try reading the docs at ubuntu site
[08:52] <justus> I want to be able to drag windows from one to the other
[08:52] <madura> the new xorg is not supported by the old video drivers
[08:53] <SilverCode> justus: I had the same problem
[08:53] <madura> you'd need some driver that is made on atleast this april
[08:53] <justus> I allready have the most current nvidia driver installed
[08:53] <madura> brb
[08:53] <justus> SilverCode: and how did you solve it?
[08:54] <SilverCode> justus: I used the nvidia drivers from the repos, and then set it up with nvidia-settings which left me with 2 working monitors, but the 1 desktop wasn't "there". I could move windows to it, but I couldn't click on it or anything
[08:54] <SilverCode> justus: it was just a black screen
[08:54] <justus> exactly what I have now
[08:54] <SilverCode> justus: I ended up hang merging my old xorg.conf with the new one that nvidia-xconfig created
[08:54] <justus> well, minus the window moving part
[08:55] <SilverCode> *hang=hand
[08:55] <SilverCode> justus: and then after a restart, it worked
[08:57] <justus> basically that means: handwrite your xorg.conf
[08:58] <pensacola> hey
[08:58] <pensacola> is there a default ipod manager for kubuntu?
[08:58] <xaviez> hi there
[08:59] <SilverCode> justus: http://pastebin.com/H2nDX9F8
[08:59] <xaviez> i installed 10.4 yesterday and accidently removed the clock on the lower right on the screen, how can i get it back ?
[08:59] <SilverCode> justus: take a look at that, the important parts are the ServerFlags/Xinerama, and Screen/Twinview+metamodes
[09:00] <justus> ok, thank you SilverCode
[09:00] <SilverCode> justus: if you don't already have a decent looking xorg.conf, then run nvidia-xconfig to generate one
[09:00] <SilverCode> justus: after that, restart the XServer, and if things go according to plan, it shoudl work correctly (it did for me anyway)
[09:01] <SilverCode> justus: just for the metamodes line, DFP-0 is my laptop LCD, and DFP-1 is my attached screen
[09:02] <SilverCode> justus: by "attached" I mean attached with DVI cable, not attached to the laptop :)
[09:02] <justus> kind of what I thought ;)
[09:02] <SilverCode> justus: anyway, DFP-1 is on the right of the laptop, which is what the +1440+0 is for
[09:03] <SilverCode> justus: 'cause my laptop horizantal res is 1440
[09:03] <SilverCode> justus: so you will need to adjust the numbers accordingly
[09:03] <justus> yup, and if I get it running there's gonna be a hell of a complaint towards whoever is responsible for this mess ;) if not I'll use tactical nukes :D
[09:04] <justus> you could call the process slightly unintuitive ^^
[09:04] <SilverCode> yeah, it seems that every release, Kubuntu gets worse
[09:05] <vadi01> SilverCode: what about plymount? did the resolution come back?
[09:06] <Taravel> hello, I should upgrade my Kubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04. Before doing this operation I would want to save my important data. Can I export all my identity with mails and calendar from Kontact?
[09:06] <vadi01> SilverCode: seems only the video drivers have the problem. :) not that bad.
[09:06] <SilverCode> vadi01: nope, that is a seperate issue, but a fix is in testing for it as far as I know. Thankfully I use an SSD so I don't see boot screens :)
[09:07] <SilverCode> vadi01: my 2 main problems with 10.04 so far have been the binary nvidia drivers, and akonadi
[09:08] <SilverCode> haven't had much else of a problem so far though
[09:11] <islington> SilverCode: how bad are the nvid drivers?
[09:14] <SilverCode> islington: the drivers themselves are ok ... their integration with Kubuntu ... not so much
[09:14] <SilverCode> islington: but I say this because I run a dual monitor setup
[09:15] <SilverCode> islington: I'm sure if you use a single monitor, you wouldn't have a problem
[09:16] <islington> thanks I generally like to wait until the first bunch of updates are released to update this computer, my laptop lives on the edge, this one plays it safe
[09:20] <Fill23> i am new with kde, how to remove bluetooth and printer applets from autoloading on startup? I can't find them in autostart section. And howbind Konsole on 'Win + t' ?
[09:24] <rcp049> Hi there...anybody knows how to install java runtime on Kubuntu 10.04..thanks!
[09:25] <SilverCode> Fill23: Not sure about the auto loading thing, but for the Win+T launching Konsole, do the following:
[09:26] <SilverCode> Fill23: K->Sytem Settings->Input Actions
[09:26] <SilverCode> Fill23: Make sure nothing is selected, then click Edit->New Group
[09:26] <SilverCode> Fill23: Name it anything you like
[09:27] <SilverCode> Fill23: Then right click on it, and choose New->Global Shortcut->Command/URL
[09:28] <SilverCode> Fill23: in the trigger tab, click the shortcut box and push Win+t, and then in the action tab, enter /usr/bin/konsole
[09:28] <SilverCode> Fill23: then make sure both the group and the action are checked in the list on the left, and click apply
[09:29] <terran4000> hey, I just upgraded to 10.04 and the before I can even login I get the error (in a nice blue screen) that says "Error, cannot mount /proc/sys/usb" (or something like that, don't remember the exact path). any ideas on how to fix that?
[09:29] <SilverCode> rcp049: you need to enable the Ubuntu Partner repos, and then install the sun-java6-jre package
[09:30] <rcp049> SilverCode: thanks a lot, i'll give it a try!
[09:30] <Fleck> help - updateted to 10.04 - xorg "eats" all CPU
[09:30] <Fleck> everything is so slow
[09:33] <muimota> hi!
[09:33] <mauri> are the scanner recognized by lucid? why the xane project has been stopped in 2009?
[09:33] <Fill23> SilverCode: hmm, group:own -> entry: konsole -> trigger: Win + t -> action: '/usr/bin/konsole' Nothing happens?
[09:34] <rcp049> SilverCode: it just worked! thanks a lot for the help!
[09:34] <SilverCode> Fill23: are you sure the options are enabled on the left?
[09:34] <Fill23> SilverCode: do i need to  restart kde? or i messed up somewhere?
[09:34] <kirill> ривет
[09:34] <muimota> I've been using kubuntu for a couple of years , but now I've lost my taskbar
[09:34] <Fill23> SilverCode: yep both lines are checked
[09:34] <kirill> hi
[09:35] <muimota> I don't have launcher or notifications
[09:35] <muimota> :(
[09:35] <SilverCode> Fill23: sounds right, and you wouldn't need to restart.....hmmm....I assume you clicked Apply?
[09:35] <Fill23> SilverCode: yep, it's greyed now
[09:35] <SilverCode> Fill23: strange
[09:35] <kirill> we bihc
[09:37] <SilverCode> Fill23: try a create a new one with a different key combo, and a diff app .. see if it does the same
[09:37] <FeasibilityStudy> anyone else getting a lot of memory usage?
[09:37] <FeasibilityStudy> Xorg is using over 300MB on my machine.
[09:37] <Fill23> SilverCode: in action tab i need to jst type command in upper section without qoutes?
[09:37] <Fill23> SilverCode: will try now
[09:37] <mauri> Why the scanner are bad supported in ubuntu?
[09:38] <FeasibilityStudy> And what are these "kio_http" services I see?  there are like 10 of them.
[09:38] <SilverCode> Fill23: yeah, or flick on the little icon to the right of the input box and browse for the executable
[09:39] <SilverCode> *click
[09:39] <madura> is that mem leak on xorg affecting kubuntu 10.04 LTS release? wasnt it fixed?
[09:40] <madura> my xorg is 154 MB now :S
[09:40] <Justus> well, XServer is pretty much dead now, allthough that might have something to do with the crashed dist-upgrade
[09:40] <Justus> hurray for usability :D
[09:42] <Fill23> SilverCode: mm, there is now browse button in action tub, right under action cuption is text field where you can type, and there is nothing on the right of it, under that field i see subsection called 'Window' there another text field and buttons on the right 'Edit' 'Add' 'Double' 'Delete'
[09:42] <FeasibilityStudy> No i am on the final 10.04
[09:42] <madura> anyone how i can upgrade xserver?
[09:43] <madura> HELP !! xorg is 173 MB now!
[09:43] <Mamarok> madura: dont shout, please
[09:44] <madura> Mamarok: didnt shout lol, anyways wheres the fix for kubuntu?
[09:44] <vadi01> muimota: just right click and add the widget
[09:44] <Mamarok> madura: capitals are shouting, please don't
[09:44] <Fill23> SilverCode: solved :) My bad, i added not command/url but keyboard entry )) everything is works now. Thx 4 your help :)
[09:44] <SilverCode> Fill23: ah, ok :)
[09:47] <FeasibilityStudy> madura: that's nothing, my Xorg is over 300MB
[09:48] <Newboy> has somebody got the catalyst 10.4 to work with Kubuntu lucid? i thought it would support the new x server?
[09:48] <madura> Newboy:  it works but now the xorg is 200+MB
[09:49] <muimota_> muimota
[09:49] <muimota_> (sorry)
[09:50] <muimota_> I've lost my taskbar
[09:50] <Newboy> really how did you got it to work when i build the Ubuntu lucid package it only builds 4 packages xorg-driver-fglrx and libamdxvba are missing
[09:50] <muimota_> I'0m trying to redo ir , I added a new panel, with the launcher, tasks, clock,
[09:50] <madura> Newboy: download the drivers from ati
[09:51] <muimota_> but I don't find the notifications (that little "i" next to the clock)
[09:51] <muimota_> some knows the name of that widget?
[09:51] <mefisto__> muimota_: add system tray
[09:51] <Newboy> i used the driver from ati
[09:52] <muimota_> mefisto_ thanks
[09:52] <madura> Newboy: what was the result?
[09:52] <Newboy> it only creates 4 packages for me when i build it for lucid
[09:52] <Newboy> normally it should be 6 i think
[09:53] <Newboy> when i install the 4 packages only fglrxinfo shows me segmentaion fault
[09:54] <madura> Newboy: well i just downloaded the .run package and ran it works like a charm
[09:54] <madura> Newboy: remove all u installed from the repos
[09:54] <FeasibilityStudy> On a fresh boot, Xorg only uses like 40MB
[09:54] <FeasibilityStudy> So there's definitely a memory leak
[09:55] <Newboy> so you did the direct install of the driver without building packages?
[09:55] <islington> FeasibilityStudy: might be a plasmoid
[09:55] <Guest44240> hello, i have a problem with language
[09:55] <islington> kill plasma-desktop
[09:56] <Guest44240> when i install my language , it translates rarely. Most of dialogs still syated in English
[10:00] <ironstone> hi. can anyone comment on compatibility with an ASUS N61JV notebook ? looking at getting one, and want to run linux on it.
[10:00] <FeasibilityStudy> islington: I am reading that the Xorg memory leak was supposedly fixed, so i dont know whats up
[10:04] <draik> Hello everyone. How is 10.04 working out for those using it now?
[10:04] <alakoo> everything in order here
[10:04] <Newboy> i got trouble with newest ati catalyst but everything else seems to be fine
[10:06] <draik> I'm about to upgrade a server, desktop, laptop and netbook. Just wanted to make sure.
[10:06] <FeasibilityStudy> draik: Some of us are having Xorg eat a lot of memory.
[10:06] <draik> Hmmm... I might hold off on the desktop
[10:08] <draik> I'm still on 9.10 on the desktop. I suddenly started having all of my audio playing out of one (central) speaker. I have a 5.1 surround sound setup, but now I just have everything coming out of the center speaker. Any way to fix this?
[10:09] <Newboy> draik if you have ati graphic card and need 3d you should perhapsly wait until another catalyst is out now you only have 10.4 and if you have trouble with that one you haven got 3d
[10:10] <draik> I have nVidia, so I think I'll be OK.
[10:10] <Fill23_> how do i setup kubuntu to change resolution to custom one, wich it fails to detect, during startup?
[10:10] <Newboy> yea that`s the better choice for linux
[10:11] <Newboy> my ram usage is very low 35% with 2GB memory
[10:11] <draik> I'm upgrading the laptop right now. This can't be right. 12 minutes to download a total of 1400 packages?
[10:11] <Newboy> hehe you must be on a fast line
[10:11] <draik> 1.5MB/s
[10:12] <Newboy> ah yea thatś fast
[10:13] <draik> That's a first for me. I'm used to the 1-1.5 hours for getting all of my packages.
[10:13] <FeasibilityStudy> Fill23_: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[10:13] <Newboy> madura: do you also have xvba support when you install the driver directly?
[10:14] <madura> Newboy: dont know, i used compositing on a earlier session with this driver now it just doesnt turn on :S after a reboot
[10:14] <draik> About my audio/speaker issue. Is there a tool/package for me to setup the 5.1 surround sound?
[10:14] <Newboy> ah :(
[10:15] <Martiini> madura:  Are You Japanese ?
[10:15] <madura> Newboy: just dont get it, it worked well before
[10:15] <madura> Martiini:  no
[10:15] <Newboy> draik i haven got 5.1 can tell you anything about that
[10:17] <Newboy> seems i have to try it
[10:17] <Martiini> Madura = island in Indonesia ... http://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madura
[10:18] <madura> Martiini: yea :P but im from sri lanka
[10:19] <willy> hi everyone... anyone with a fresh install of kubuntu lucid?
[10:19] <madura> Willy yes
[10:20] <draik> !audio
[10:20] <Fill23_> FeasibilityStud: thx but this article about splash screen, my problem i want my resolution been setup when kde start's so i don't have to manualy set it up every time. But problem that this resolution not detected automaticly, so i have to add it using 'xrandr' and 'cvt'.
[10:21] <Hamra> can you please run this command, and pastebin the output file?         dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1 -d '    '> current-list
[10:21] <Hamra> before the > there's a tab character between the apostrophes
[10:22] <Hamra> i just need a list of default packages, to prepare a list of the packages i'll need to install after my fresh install :)
[10:23] <draik> The packages have begun installation \o/
[10:25] <draik> download 1400+ packages: ~10 minutes
[10:26] <draik> Installing those packages: 2 hours 15 minutes
[10:26] <draik> I guess I can't win them all
[10:26] <vadi01> well am on kubuntu 10.04
[10:26] <vadi01> so far so good
[10:26] <vadi01> using the noveou drivers of course
[10:27] <Newboy> vaadi01 are you using nvidia or ati?
[10:28] <vadi01> Newboy: nvidia but i have not installed them. the noveau driver is good
[10:28] <vadi01> as in i have not installed any prop drivers yet
[10:29] <vadi01> in anycase its recommened you use noveau
[10:29] <Newboy> ok i was searching for somebody who is building catalyst 10.4 Ubuntu/lucid package
[10:31] <Newboy> the only prop driver i only need is ati catalyst but to install it is always a pain in the ass
[10:31] <maco> im not sure if that word's allowed in here
[10:32] <vadi01> hmmm last i heard ati was really ok
[10:32] <ADC> hey
[10:32] <tom_> I had no problems with the catalyst
[10:32] <vadi01> but thats with the fedora people
[10:32] <ADC> about catalyst
[10:32] <Newboy> tom_ you build the Ubuntu/lucid package?
[10:32] <ADC> why do i get a composite mode unavailable with kubuntu
[10:33] <ADC> and when i install the dedicaded ati drivers, the animations are mostly lost because of composite
[10:33] <tom_> no I didn't build the package, I just installed the driver via kubuntus management
[10:34] <Hamra> envyng doesn't help with ATI drivers?
[10:34] <Newboy> ah ok the repo driver wasn`t working for me
[10:35] <tom_> there should be a catalyst on tyhe ati website for download Newboy
[10:35] <tom_> but I dont know if that differs from the repos
[10:36] <Newboy> tom_ yes i tried to build that one for Ubuntu/lucid but it only gives me 4 packages 2 packages are missing
[10:40] <tom_> which packages did the automated ati installer require?
[10:43] <Flutiju`> Hi, I have a question : Since the Lucid upgrade, the script I have in .kde/Autostart don't start anymore when KDE starts. If I start it manually, it wors
[10:43] <Flutiju`> works*
[10:47] <tom_> Flutiju`  you can try adding the script in the systems settings (-> autostart)
[10:48] <Flutiju`> It's already there, active at boot
[10:50] <tom_> have you tried other options?
[10:52] <Flutiju`> It's a script to start xcalib (color calibration for my screen) so I guess it should not be launched "before kde"
[10:54] <tom_> I only have the options "Startup, Shutdown, pre-KDE"
[10:55] <Flutiju`> Yes, I set it to Startup
[10:59] <tom_> how do you run the script? clicking on it or terminal?
[11:00] <Flutiju`> No, in Konsole : .kde/Autostart/start_xcalib.sh
[11:01] <tom_> have you ckecked the "is executable" box under permissions(properties of the file)?
[11:02] <Flutiju`> Yep
[11:06] <ubuntu___> hello, after upgrade to 10.04 i got kernel panic: "not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknow block (0,0)" - how can I repair it?
[11:09] <rainer_> www.web.de
[11:13] <draik> I'm giving up on my audio for now. It comes in distorted with bass for no reason after setting it to 5.1/ch6
[11:13] <draik> On the netbook, if I want to go from Desktop to Netbook, what is the installation package?
[11:14] <Mamarok> draik: you do actually have tracks recorded in 5.1 mode?
[11:14] <tom_> Flutiju` you could check the autostart path in the system settings -> about me -> paths
[11:15] <Flutiju`> tom_ : /home/shura/.kde/Autostart/
[11:15] <draik> Mamarok: These are all audio files which used to play clearly. Now, it is coming out of the center speaker; audio, bass and all
[11:15] <Flutiju`> It's ok, so
[11:15] <tom_> yeah
[11:15] <tom_> very strange problem
[11:16] <Wojtek> can anyone help me? :)
[11:16] <Mamarok> draik: you can only play tracks in 5.1 mode if those are recorded in that mode, else it will come out center
[11:16] <draik> Mamarok: Weird that it does it now and not then
[11:16] <Flutiju`> tom_ : I mean the path is ok, but the problem remains ^^
[11:16] <OxDeadC0de> has anyone had any success with the cpu frequency scaling applet(s) in 10.04?
[11:16] <tom_> a possibility is putting the script into /etc/init.d - but that would execute the script during boot
[11:18] <Mamarok> draik: did you try restarting KDE after changing the Phonon settings?
[11:18] <Flutiju`> tom_:  Yep but it's a "graphic" script, I don't think it's a good idea to execute it during boot
[11:18] <draik> I just restarted the desktop
[11:19] <draik> Mamarok: I restarted the desktop and still the same. I changed the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file for setting the channel to 6
[11:20] <vistakiller> anyone else have problems with screensaver?
[11:20] <vistakiller> is not working
[11:20] <Mamarok> draik: I don't know Pulseaudio, did you try with the default Phonon settings, choosing your soundcard directly?
[11:20] <draik> Mamarok: How do I do that?
[11:23] <Mamarok> draik: well, in the Systemsettings -> Multimedia you select your sound card. You might have to remove the $HOME/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc and restart KDE to make it work
[11:26] <draik> FIXED \o/
[11:26] <draik> Mamarok: I set it to Pulseaudio and it is working now.
[11:26] <draik> THANK YOU
[11:27] <Mamarok> ah, that's the problem :)
[11:27] <draik> Also, I now have Lynx running on my laptop.
[11:30] <draik> On my netbook, I installed the 9.10 desktop. How do I get the netbook after the upgrade?
[11:30] <pradeepto> hi
[11:31] <Mamarok> draik: install the kubuntu-netbook packages, then change the default plasma desktop in the Systemsettings and restart KDE
[11:31] <pradeepto> I just installed 10.04 on my laptop. I don't seem to find a way to change screen resolution. I had this new app krandrtray, it is not there anymore. Didn't find it in repos as well. Any pointers?
[11:33] <pradeepto> ah found it. System Settings. :)
[11:36] <draik> Mamarok: Thanks. I'll do that when prompted. Thanks again for the audio.
[11:37] <vistakiller> any idea with screensaver?
[11:39] <vistakiller> and i still have the too much cpu usage with xorg
[11:43] <Benkinooby> !upgrade
[11:44] <yofel> vistakiller: what screensaver? works fine here
[11:44] <Benkinooby> hmm... update notifiere says ther is no upgrade to do... is kubuntu 10.04 out?
[11:44] <vistakiller> anything is just not working
[11:45] <yofel> vistakiller: even if you press on test? or it doesn't auto-start?
[11:45] <vistakiller> on test is working fine
[11:45] <vistakiller> when is time for screensaver i have only a black window
[11:46] <_NoName_> cool
[11:46] <_NoName_> 10.04ù
[11:46] <yofel> the default screensaver is a black window, but if I set a different one it does start it (with a second or two delay maybe)
[11:46] <_NoName_> appears to work fine :D
[11:47] <vistakiller> let try some
[11:47] <vistakiller> what package have more screensaver yofel you remember?
[11:48] <_NoName_> 9800GT now is working really fine :)
[11:48] <FabienD> hi all
[11:48] <_NoName_> hi FabienD
[11:48]  * _NoName_ just finished puttin toghether all my HW pieces :)
[11:48] <FabienD> i have the "can' start ksmserver issue" with 10.04 :(
[11:49] <_NoName_> :(
[11:49] <FabienD> ,any way to solve it ?
[11:50] <_NoName_> aww...it loads correcly all by itself all my USB HW :)
[11:50] <yofel> vistakiller: well, there is the kscreensaver package and the xscreensaver-* packages
[11:50] <tom_> _NoName are you using nvidias proprietary driver?
[11:50] <vistakiller> thanks for one more time yofel :)
[11:50] <_NoName_> no, i'm by live now,
[11:50] <_NoName_> and i'll start to fix them
[11:51] <_NoName_> this live appears to be the mooooot ppprfec i've seen, anyway :
[11:51] <_NoName_> :O
[11:51] <_NoName_> but then i'll use them
[11:51] <tom_> _NoName_ the nividia driver maybe produces an ugly plymouth boot splash :/
[11:51] <_NoName_> and let you know how it works tom_
[11:51] <_NoName_> oh :(
[11:51] <tom_> it doesnt affect the functionality
[11:52] <_NoName_> so i should have to try them now? :P
[11:52] <_NoName_> now i begin to fix the distribution :O
[11:53] <tom_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/551290
[11:53] <tom_> its not a severe bug
[11:53] <yofel> well, the splash should look ok in a few days after installing updates
[11:53] <yofel> a bit better at least
[11:53] <tom_> yeah
[11:55] <LjL> not that the splash screen matters much to existing users, but i don't know how you can release something with such a broken splashscreen if you're looking to aquiring new users
[11:55] <LjL> oh wait, thought this was another channel, forget the trolling.
[11:55] <tom_> :)
[11:56] <_NoName_> tom_: they'll fix that soon i think :)))))))))
[11:56] <_NoName_> :O
[11:56] <_NoName_> LjL: that were politics :O
[11:56] <_NoName_> :P
[11:57] <yofel> _NoName_: the "fix" is being tested and is available in -proposed, will take a few days for it to be in -updates
[11:58] <FabienD> I use an nvidia card,is that why ksmserver don't start ?
[11:58] <tankdriver> hello, i have no sound with non-kde applications on a fresh Lucid installation. Could this be a pulsaudio issue?
[11:58] <_NoName_> yofel: ok :O
[11:58] <_NoName_> anyway i always use to check once a week :P
[11:58] <avihay> How can I see the upgrade log, after the upgrade?
[11:59] <_NoName_> you downgrade and read everything avihay:O
[11:59] <_NoName_> :P
[11:59]  * _NoName_ loves to make ppl laugh :O
[12:00] <avihay> :->
[12:00] <yofel> avihay: the upgrade logs should be in /var/log/dist-upgrade (if kubuntu doesn't do something different from ubuntu there)
[12:00] <avihay> yofel: thanks
[12:02] <_NoName_> :O
[12:02]  * _NoName_ is hungry
[12:02] <yofel> !ontopic | _NoName_
[12:03] <_NoName_> fine, thanks yofel
[12:07] <calumayoo> i am frustrated.. every time i install lucid, i always get a blank screen after... and nothing at all. now im back to karmic
[12:09] <ljl> uhm, what was the trick to allow setting the Menu key as a shortcut for things?
[12:09] <calumayoo> !shortcut
[12:10] <ljl> i know *where* shortcuts are set, it's just that the Menu key specifically can't be used as a shortcut by default
[12:13] <FabienD> the failsafe session ... is also failing ! :(
[12:14] <rich> why does updating with kpackagekit always fail, at downloading software packages?
[12:16] <_NoName_> did any of you try new iPhone support? is there a channel/forum about that? i've read that now support for iPhone ia fully integrated in OS
[12:17] <wrr_> Network management is disabled,how to restart it
[12:20] <rich> why does updating to 10.04 always fail at downloading software packages?
[12:21] <wrr_> rich:your sources are not goog enough
[12:21] <Daugha|n> Does 10.04 have issues with KDE 3.5?
[12:22] <rich> what does that mean?
[12:22] <Daugha|n> rich: Reload your sources list.
[12:22] <wrr_> rich:change your sources
[12:22] <rich> kk
[12:22] <wrr_> Network management is disabled,how to restart it
[12:24] <rich> alt+f2 and type KnetworkManager
[12:24] <rich> this should bring up the networkmanager
[12:24] <wrr_> i had tried,but failed
[12:24] <rich> why?
[12:25] <wrr_> i don't know
[12:25] <rich> hm is it still installed?
[12:25] <rich> KNetworkManager
[12:25] <wrr_> installed
[12:26] <wrr_> http://hi.baidu.com/%E7%8E%8B%E8%93%89%E4%B8%8A%E9%82%A3%E9%A2%97/blog/item/23a35d00c331b68be850cd0f.html
[12:26] <wrr_> look at this
[12:27] <rich> yeü
[12:27] <rich> yep
[12:27] <wrr_> http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/150432994.html
[12:28] <rich> what about right clicking the "network plug" icon?
[12:29] <rich> this should also bringup knetworkmanager
[12:29] <rich> i mean right clicking network plug and selecting Manage connections
[12:29] <wrr_> right click is not useful
[12:30] <wrr_> i tried
[12:32] <mischasworld> @wrr_: had the same problem solved it by installing the plasmadiget and selecting "network management active" or somethin similar
[12:32] <wrr_> i'll try
[12:33] <Daugha|n> DO I need to add a repo for KDE 4.4?
[12:34] <Pingu> hey
[12:35] <Daugha|n> Sup, Pingu
[12:36] <Pingu> some audio playback prob aith the kubuntu lucid netbook
[12:36] <Pingu> on an Asus 1000HE
[12:42] <Mahara> Pingu: Please express your problem clearly so that anyone able and willing will know what information to ask from you.
[12:43] <Mahara> Pingu: You hear the start up sound when KDE is starting?
[12:48] <vistakiller> ok i see that when i put screensaver to one-two-three minutes it works
[12:48] <vistakiller> when i set it to 10 minutes i have a black screen and no screensaver
[12:49] <pepee> hi
[12:49] <pepee> I'm gonna copy/paste from another channel....
[12:49] <arul> how to login as root user in kubuntu ?
[12:49] <calumayoo> do not
[12:50] <bazhang> arul, you don't
[12:50] <Daugha|n> WHats virtuoso-t, and why do I have 2 nepomukserv process'??
[12:50] <calumayoo> !sudo
[12:50] <arul> why ?
[12:51] <m_tadeu> hi everybody
[12:51] <Mahara> arul: from the command line?
[12:51] <calumayoo> hey, is anyone here using moovida or has tried using it? what can you say?
[12:51] <m_tadeu> is there a directory synchronization tool for kde?
[12:52] <arul> ok
[12:52] <Mahara> calumayoo: great app for the people who like entertainment
[12:53] <calumayoo> thanks mahara.. just read a starter's guide for post installations in ubuntu... might as well apply to kubuntu. do i use the apt line to store it in my repository?
[12:53] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: please read up about Nepomuk on http://userbase.kde.org
[12:53] <f4te> hi there guys :) please excuse my english.. at an installation of kubuntu 10.04 would you prefer the "old" ext4 or one of the new formats?
[12:54] <Mamarok> f4te: what new formats do you mean?
[12:54] <Daugha|n> Mamarok: Thanks.
[12:54] <Daugha|n> ANd, do I need to add a repo to upgrade to KDE 4.4?
[12:54] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: if you are using Lucid you already have KDE SC 4.4.2
[12:55] <Daugha|n> Not according to my syste I'm not.
[12:55] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: which Kubuntu version do you use then?
[12:55] <Daugha|n> Says I am still running 3.5.10
[12:55] <Mahara> calumayoo: According to their download page it's already in repositories ( Moovida is packaged with the latest version of Ubuntu. )
[12:55] <vistakiller> it works and to five minutes
[12:55] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: where does it say that? If you look a the help info of a KDE 3.x app it will of course say that
[12:56] <Pingu> How do I make my Fn keys work with the Kubuntu netbook remix?
[12:56] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: which Kubuntu version are you usign? You don't have Nepomuk in KDE 3.x at all
[12:56] <calumayoo> so, what do you do with the apt line?
[12:56] <Daugha|n> I have my sysmon set up to query which KDE ver is running...
[12:56] <calumayoo> actually Mahara, i havent updted to lucid lynx
[12:56] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: open Dolphin and check the Help -> About KDE info please
[12:56] <Mahara> calumayoo: What version of Kubuntu are you using?
[12:56] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: if you have Nepomuk you are definitely using KDE 4.x
[12:56] <calumayoo> and i have no plans now after several frustrated attempts... 9.10
[12:58] <Mahara> calumayoo: should be there too; try searching for it in Synaptic
[12:58] <Daugha|n> Mamarok: Ok......You're right, 4.4.2.....Trying to figure out what is going on. Since I upgraded to 10.04 yesterday, my desktop has been crashing regularly, as well as spking system load for extended periods of time.
[12:58] <Mahara> calumayoo: otherwise you can add this line : ppa:moovida-packagers/ppa following the procedures from https://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html
[12:58] <calumayoo> thanks
[12:59] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: if you don't use tags for searching data on your system, you should disable Nepomuk, then, as it is only useful for the Semantic Desktop and on systems with enough power
[12:59] <SandGorgon> Daugha|n, spikes would most prolly be due to strigi (desktop indexing), nepomuk or akonadi. you can try turning these off and see if it makes a difference
[12:59] <f4te> Mamarok: Ceph and LogFS
[13:00] <Mamarok> SandGorgon: not Akonadi, very unlikely on Lucid, it works fine here
[13:00] <SandGorgon> Mamarok, true.. but you never know. I actually would bet it has something to do with graphics drivers
[13:01] <Mamarok> f4te: Ceph is only for cluster, LogFS I don't know, go for ext4 if you have a regular Desktop or laptop
[13:01] <f4te> okay, thank you Mamarok  :)
[13:01] <Daugha|n> Yeah, it is nepomuk, all right, 2 instances of it for some reason....Where do I look to turn it off?
[13:01]  * f4te is now installing :)
[13:01] <SandGorgon> Mamarok, f4te logfs is for SSD IMHO
[13:01] <Mamarok> SandGorgon: no, just Nepomuk and strigi, disabling Nepomuk is most of the time the best solution, especially on small systems with little RAM
[13:02] <Daugha|n> Ya, the desktop is only a P4 w/2G.
[13:02] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: SystemSettings -Advanced tab -> Desktop search
[13:02] <Daugha|n> Mamarok: Thanks, once again. =[)
[13:02] <SandGorgon> Mamarok, that's true.. I got my RAM usage to less than 300mb by disabling nepomuk/strigi and (also) disabling akonadi. dont know which one helps though
[13:02] <Mamarok> SandGorgon: Akonadi is necessary for KDE-PIM, don't disable it
[13:03] <Mamarok> the culprit is clearly Nepomuk and Strigi
[13:03] <SandGorgon> Mamarok, dont use it..
[13:03] <Daugha|n> Whats virtuoso-t?
[13:03] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: you are welcome :)
[13:03] <Mamarok> Daugha|n: it's the backend for Nepomuk, to be able to read semantic data, read about on the userbase websites I inidicated earlier
[13:06] <Daugha|n> Mamarok: Getting there, now that I have nepomuk turned off.
[13:18] <Tonik69> Хай.
[13:19] <calumayoo> what is better than miro?
[13:19] <Mamarok> !ru | Tonik69
[13:19] <Mamarok> calumayoo: Amarok, of course :)
[13:19] <calumayoo> it can do things miro can?
[13:20] <calumayoo> i thought it was just an audio player
[13:20] <calumayoo> correct me if im wrong
[13:21] <harjot> uys ive just upgraded to 10.04, and after the upgrade, after i login, it shows the desktop wallpaper, nothjhing else
[13:21] <harjot> any ideas?
[13:22] <oxymoron> Why isnt it possible to use OpenGL for desktop effects with composite enabled if not nvidia-current is installed as proprietary driver? :S (XRender works though) - SHouldnt nouveau be able to handle nvidia cards?   I tried autostart on systemsettings, but not works
[13:25] <_noname_> i've seen the nvidia splash screen bug
[13:26] <_noname_> the most important thing is that doesen't look as system is not working
[13:27] <kroson> _noname_: are you talking about plymouth bug?
[13:27] <kroson> screen resolution?
[13:27] <SandGorgon> ToxinPowe, dunno if it will work, but u can try installing and using BUM - boot up manager
[13:27] <f4te> hi there, i've got a problem with installing kubuntu 10.04 - the menu of the cd is loading quickly, but when I choose, install or try, my cd works for about a minute, but the screen keeps black. and then nothing more happens.. :(
[13:27] <harjot> Anyone know what the default window thing is for 10.04? (plasma-desktop?)
[13:28] <ToxinPowe> SandGorgon: ok, I'll try, thx
[13:28] <harjot> because i had to install plasma manually
[13:28] <_noname_> nvidia proprietari drivers bug
[13:28] <_noname_> when splash screen seems to appear it looks as it should be 640x480
[13:28] <kroson> _noname_: if you are talking about the scren resolution on splash bug
[13:29] <kroson> i think that the fix is in lucid-proposed for testing
[13:29] <_noname_> my screen is 1920x1200 :X
[13:29] <kroson> so soon maybe well have a fix for it
[13:30] <_noname_> yes yofel told me that before
[13:30] <_noname_> but it's not a so bad thing as i thougt about :)
[13:30] <kroson> yeah
[13:30] <kroson> the boot is so fast that we dont notice it
[13:30] <kroson> lol
[13:31]  * yofel wouldn't even see the splash if there wasn't a message about waiting for a NFS mount ^^
[13:32] <rama> hi
[13:32] <_noname_> kroson: but the boot is fast and cool, so if it works will not be a bad thing
[13:32] <_noname_> hi rama
[13:32] <kroson> i think the splash is very good, if we have a decent resolution
[13:32] <kroson> like this, its not bad, but its ugly :P
[13:33] <_noname_> quassel quick preview on links is makin' me ugly
[13:33] <rama> Hi _noname. I m very new to Linux and came here (by accident)
[13:33] <_noname_> i already opened 5 urls i didn't want to :|
[13:33] <oxymoron> Why isnt it possible to use OpenGL for desktop effects with composite enabled if not nvidia-current is installed as proprietary driver? :S (XRender works though) - SHouldnt nouveau be able to handle nvidia cards? :P
[13:33] <oxymoron> yofel: ? :P
[13:33] <_noname_> rama: sure you'll love that
[13:34]  * oxymoron loves that ntfs-config automaticly detect NTFS partitions and then configure write support and automaticly add them to /etc/fstab <3
[13:34] <yofel> oxymoron: nouveau 3D is disabled in lucid as it's still experimental, there was some X nouveau ppa with working 3d support I think
[13:34] <rama> I guess so. Looks like this is Tech discussion blog then
[13:34] <_noname_> rama: if you have issues...
[13:34] <kroson> yofel: yes there is, add the xorg-edgers ppa for lucid
[13:35] <_noname_> someone here maybe can help you
[13:35] <rama> Thats really great.
[13:36] <yofel> ah yes, nouveau is now in xorg-edgers main ppa
[13:36] <oxymoron> yofel: Really :P Do you know when it goes none-experimental and is being released?  See you noname.
[13:38] <kroson> for maverick it shall be ready
[13:38] <calumayoo> !nvidia
[13:38] <_noname_> does anyone still use matrox cards?
[13:38] <oxymoron> kroson: Because first of all, plymouth doesnt work with "smooth" resolution when using nvidia proprietary, I got like 640x480 resolution with like 1 bit color depth xD Then it is unstable and I got ghost effect all the time when opening new windows and it doesnt depends on my monitor because its a really good monitor type IPS or what it calls and is new.
[13:38] <_noname_> didn't hear about them since years
[13:39] <oxymoron> yofel: Define use with caution? :P
[13:39] <kroson> oxymoron: its experimental version, unstable
[13:39] <n8w> hey
[13:39] <kroson> not stable like the one you are using now
[13:39] <yofel> oxymoron: you should pin any packages from there that you don't exactly need, those are bleeding edge upstream packages, not tested at all
[13:39] <francisjjp> Hi. One question. ¿Does WirelessAssistant exist in package DEB way?
[13:39] <n8w> anyone who has upgraded kubuntu from 9.10 to 10.4?
[13:39] <kroson> in other words, it will be updated regularly, so in some update it may (or may not) break your system
[13:40] <oxymoron> yofel: "Nouveau in this PPA requires a 2.6.34 (or higher) based kernel and lbm-nouveau has been deprecated"
[13:40] <kroson> so use with caution
[13:40] <calumayoo> i tried but now im back to 9.10
[13:40] <n8w> i just wanna know whether there might b a problem related to grub loader
[13:40] <yofel> oxymoron: you'll have to use a mainline kernel build then too if you want to try it
[13:40] <_noname_> did that this morning n8w, but just as a test, then i re-installed from the beginning
[13:40] <kroson> calumayoo: btw, why? xD
[13:40] <n8w> calumayoo:  was that for me?
[13:40] <francisjjp> I have problem with KNetworkManager to connect with wireless net
[13:40] <kroson> oxymoron: need to upgrade to 2.6.34-rc6 kernel too
[13:40] <yofel> oxymoron: note that 2.6.34 isn't relased yet (rc6 as kroson said)
[13:41] <kroson> that is in the kernel ppa
[13:41] <calumayoo> i dont exactly know what the problem was. but all i get is a blank screen..nada
[13:41] <n8w> _noname_:  ye thats proly the best idea...but i cant afford a complate reinstall rite now....
[13:41] <calumayoo> i dont know n8w it works with others
[13:41] <kroson> calumayoo: weird, is your hardware relatively old?
[13:41] <_noname_> n8w: anyway i didn't have problems to upgrade and restart
[13:41] <calumayoo> i have latitude d505...yes. relatively old
[13:42] <_noname_> but then i've destroyed everything
[13:42] <kroson> oxymoron: if you want to test it, keep in mind that it can be dangerous and break your OS (or not, as i said, thats the purpose of testing)
[13:42] <n8w> _noname_:  all im worried about is my db2 server installation
[13:42] <oxymoron> kroson, yofel: Oh my, I dont think I dare to try it out because unstable kernel versions and fresh graphic drivers doesnt sound especially stable :D
[13:42] <n8w> _noname_:  but i rly wanna try it out:)
[13:42] <kroson> a fix for nvidia driver on plymouth may be coming soon, so maybe you should wait till it
[13:42] <_noname_> so good luck n8w :O
[13:42] <oxymoron> kroson, yofel: Maybe in VM environment though xD
[13:43] <_noname_> i had problems wit previous upgrade tools, this one seemed much b etter to me, so i hope it has no bugs :|
[13:43] <oxymoron> kroson: I would like to see a fix for nouveau and not for nvidia, because nouveau is far way better and nvidia dirvers is corrupt from the beginning.
[13:43] <yofel> well, it's not a fix but making the splash look better on 640x480x4, but that's about the best we're going to get for lucid
[13:43] <kroson> oxymoron: for the kernel, many people say it works well, as for the nouveau, i read about bugs with compiz
[13:43] <kroson> dont know how it is now
[13:44] <kroson> (talking about the fresh versions)
[13:44] <oxymoron> yofel: That sucks, I want 32 bit and 1280x1024 at LEAST
[13:44] <Papierkorb> hi guys
[13:45] <oxymoron> kroson: Kernel versions usually are quie stable but graphic drivers seems unstable as far as I have understand it.
[13:45] <kroson> oxymoron: dont think nouveau is better, the advantages are that it is 100% open-source and integrates well with the rest of the kernel
[13:45] <yofel> oxymoron: then  set your framebuffer res by hand, only way. google should find a bunch of howtos
[13:45] <kroson> yofel: yesterday i tried one that broke my system :S, so i had to reinstall
[13:45] <Papierkorb> whats his problem? my nvidia graphiccard runs fine with nvidias driver
[13:45] <oxymoron> kroson: Isnt that much better then? :P And if I have understand it correctly, nouveau is coded from scratch and use the nvidia card correctly and nvidia drivers dont :P
[13:46] <kroson> Papierkorb: plymouth splash (boot and shut down)
[13:46] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Its not that, it some minor eyecandy problems with plymouth and ghost effects :P
[13:46] <Papierkorb> so the splash looks ugly?
[13:46] <calumayoo> anyone uses vuze here? i have problem using the search tool
[13:46] <kroson> oxymoron: that doesnt make it better, it depends on what is the use you want for it
[13:46] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Yes, low resolution and color depth
[13:46] <calumayoo> do i have to install something to make it work?
[13:46] <Papierkorb> thats my problem too, but i don't care, every thing else runs fine :-p
[13:47] <oxymoron> kroson: The only thing I want is it to work smooth, flawless and stable.
[13:47] <kroson> Papierkorb: same here
[13:47] <n8w> hmm after readin all this, i should mayb w8 with the upgrade...
[13:47] <kroson> oxymoron: nothing can be done then
[13:47] <yofel> kroson: works fine here, might be a bug in the framebuffer, I saw reports where the driver refused to load with an out of memory message
[13:47] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: It annoys me a lot because without nvidia-current loaded I got nice plymouth resolution <3
[13:47] <kroson> i think that going with those howtos can be as dangerous as trying the unstable nouveau
[13:47] <calumayoo> me too n8w...
[13:47] <Papierkorb> i wkae up, start my computer, shutdown computer and go to bed. 20secs of an ugly screen in a day ;)
[13:47] <Papierkorb> oxymoron: noticed that too
[13:47] <oxymoron> yofel: Framebuffer?
[13:47] <Papierkorb> the splash looks even better on my netbook >3
[13:47] <Papierkorb> <3
[13:48] <kroson> oxymoron: yes with nouveau it was beautiful and faster booting
[13:48] <Papierkorb> lucid is awesome, finally wlan works on my netbook :)
[13:48] <yofel> oxymoron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framebuffer (ubuntu uses vga16fb for proprietary nvidia driver splash)
[13:48] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: I hate that ghost effect and I was thought 10.04 stable would have been solved that until now because this problems started happen in early alpha releases.
[13:49] <oxymoron> kroson: Yes, thats why I use it now and then use XRender instead of OpenGL, then it works with composite and desktop effects :P
[13:49] <calumayoo> !vuze
[13:49] <kroson> sure
[13:49] <calumayoo> !azureus
[13:49] <Papierkorb> or use ktorrent ;)
[13:49] <kroson> try that solution from yofel , it may work for you
[13:49] <kroson> there are people who were able to change the splash back to normal
[13:50] <oxymoron> yofel: What frame buffer to use for full resolution on my 24" monitor then?  You mean ubuntu have nice splash and kubuntu doesnt? :D
[13:51] <kroson> mainly compared to windows
[13:51] <Papierkorb> extremely fast
[13:51] <yofel> oxymoron: find out what video mode your graphics card supports with 'vbeinfo' from the grub command line, write the one you like best down, boot, set GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in /etc/default/grub to that resolution, update-grub, reboot
[13:51] <kroson> oxymoron: afaik, they have the same
[13:51] <Papierkorb> ~50 secs boot up (bios -> kde is started)
[13:51] <Papierkorb> around 40 to 50 seconds, so i'm happy
[13:52] <yofel> oxymoron: no, vga16fb is set to 640x480 by default as that's the only mode that ALL graphics  card in the world support
[13:52] <Papierkorb> and on my home computer it almost starts twice as fast as karmic did
[13:52] <kroson> Papierkorb: for a netbook its very good
[13:52] <oxymoron> yofel: I did that before but then it ****** up completly and GPU fan went crazy on boot and shutdown xD
[13:52] <_noname_> cu soon
[13:52] <yofel> oxymoron: and yes, ubuntu has a low res splash on nvidia too
[13:52]  * _noname_ goes to xchat
[13:52] <_noname_> cul8r
[13:52] <_noname_> and thank u
[13:52] <Pingu> can't figure out what I did - but I now don't have windows border - can close an app only by pressing AL-F4
[13:53] <kroson> Papierkorb: i also dont like the netbook remixes
[13:53] <oxymoron> yofel: Alright, well that I know since I start using *buntu that grub always use that default buffer if nothing else works :P
[13:53] <kroson> but what concerns me is if i will have enough space to use the normal editions, in such a low resolution!
[13:53] <Papierkorb> its enough, not much but its ok
[13:53] <Papierkorb> you can change it later somewhere if you like
[13:54] <kroson> Papierkorb: because fonts in linux tend to be a bit bigger than in windows
[13:54] <Papierkorb> but don't ask me where exactly that option is ;)
[13:55]  * oxymoron wonders when he can use his Droid smartphone to control his computer as a remot control or even access files from it and use on his phone :D
[13:55] <Papierkorb> the only problem is, that some windows are too big. but it was worse on karmic ;)
[13:55] <kroson> Papierkorb: im asking because i have a netbook with windows which is becoming very very slow booting with time (as usual...)
[13:55] <oxymoron> WOuld be cool backup phone to his computer :D
[13:55] <kroson> so i was thinking about changing it for k/ubuntu
[13:55] <yofel> kroson: I use desktop KDE on my eeePC fine, panel space is very precious though ^^
[13:55] <Papierkorb> kroson: do you have an usb stick somewhere with >1GB space?
[13:55] <kroson> Papierkorb: sure
[13:56] <kroson> is there any disadvantage of installing k/ubuntu with a usb stick instead of a CD?
[13:56] <kroson> i know it is much faster
[13:56] <kroson> but disadvantages, are there some or not?
[13:56] <Papierkorb> kroson: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ windows software
[13:56] <yofel> no
[13:56] <yofel> !usb
[13:56] <kroson> thanks yofel xD
[13:56] <Papierkorb> it downloads (k)ubuntu and writes it onto a usb stick. its slow, but it works ;)
[13:57] <kroson> Papierkorb: i know i can use unetbootin if nothing else works
[13:57]  * oxymoron thinks HTC wait ONCE AGAIN for Android 2.2 instead of 2.0, 2.1 and so on as they did before with HTC Hero xD So now the ROM will be released in juny or something like that instead of autumn last year as they said from the beginning :D Soon iPhone OS will be upgraded and a new iPhone will be released and HTC will go behind if they not hurry up a little :D
[13:57] <Pingu> anyone?
[13:57] <Papierkorb> never used some net boot thing
[13:58] <oxymoron> Oops wrong channel :P
[13:58] <Eruaran> ...
[13:58] <yofel> Pingu: can you open krunner with alt+f2 ?
[13:58] <Papierkorb> Pingu: press Alt+F3
[13:59] <Papierkorb> then you get the kde menu where you can enable window borders ;)
[13:59] <n8w> omg how do i quite vi editor when it says :Type  :quit<Enter>  to exit Vim
[13:59] <yofel> n8w: press ':q' ?
[14:00] <Pingu> Papierkorb: I did, but I cannot remove the tick mark by "no border"
[14:00] <kroson> Papierkorb: it works with many distros that have livecds
[14:00] <n8w> yofel:  nope...when i do that,it says: recording
[14:00] <Papierkorb> Pingu: thats strange, maybe you should restart or restart kde
[14:00] <yofel> n8w: you pressed 'q' not ':' and then 'q' '<enter>'
[14:01] <Papierkorb> to restart KDE: Pres Ctrl+Alt+F1, login and then type: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[14:01] <Pingu> Papierkorb: no - even after restart and disabling the Desktop Effects
[14:01] <Papierkorb> btw: that will kill all running GUI programs
[14:02] <yofel> Papierkorb: note: that still works but is deprecated, use 'sudo service kdm restart' instead
[14:02] <n8w> yofel:  :) yep
[14:03] <vadi01> guys my youtube has no sound. i forgot the codec i need for this. pls help
[14:03] <yofel> n8w: vim takes a bit getting used to, but it's great :D
[14:03] <Papierkorb> you need to turn PCM volume up
[14:03] <oxymoron> yofel: Btw, do you know if someone ever is going to fix that kubuntu.org website? :P Its invalid XHTML and is really ugly, especially compared to the new kde.org website :P I cant understand why it take so long, website is important to attract new users and feel comfortable when they download the distro from the website.
[14:03] <n8w> yofel:  lol well its proly the worst editor ive ever tried until now:))))
[14:03] <vadi01> Papierkorb: and where can i find that?
[14:04] <vadi01> Papierkorb: nvm
[14:04] <vadi01> Papierkorb: saw it
[14:04] <Pingu> it happens only when a window is maximized
[14:04] <n8w> yofel:  hehe man i still cant exit that crazy thing
[14:04] <yofel> n8w: it's not, but it *does* take a while to get used to it :P
[14:04] <yofel> n8w: press: '<ESC>' ':' 'q' '<ENTER>'
[14:04] <n8w> yofel:  E37: No write since last change (add ! to override)
[14:05]  * oxymoron prefer nano as simple text editor and Kdevelop4 IDE as for programming.
[14:05] <yofel> n8w: then use ':q!'
[14:05] <yofel> n8w: or use ':w' first to save changes
[14:05] <n8w> yofel:  i dont wanna save anythin...im editin grub...uuuuu
[14:05] <yofel> n8w: q! will discard any unsaved changes
[14:06] <yofel> oxymoron: +1, nano is nice for beginners
[14:06]  * Papierkorb likes nano aswell
[14:06] <oxymoron> yofel: Nano is nice for professionals as well :P
[14:07] <n8w> yofel:  uff nice:)) thx man
[14:07] <SilverCode> GVim for development ... the only way :)
[14:07] <yofel> depends, I'm much faster with vim than I'm with nano
[14:07] <oxymoron> nano just works and nothing complex anywhere, exactly as a editor should be. But Kate is quite nice I must say.
[14:07] <n8w> yofel:  i like nano a lot
[14:08] <oxymoron> yofel: I only use nano for simple edits in Konsole anyway
[14:08] <yofel> I only use nano if vim isn't installed :P
[14:09] <oxymoron> yofel: LOL :D
[14:09] <SilverCode> vim not installed? You mean it isn't part of the kernel :)
[14:09] <yofel> haha, fresh installations ususally :P
[14:09] <oxymoron> Btw does someone in here when Kdevelop4 is compiled and released today?
[14:10] <n8w> this is weird,/boot/grub/menu.lst is completely empty...
[14:10] <yofel> !grub2 | n8w
[14:10] <oxymoron> yofel: Thats also why nano is so good, its always available <3
[14:10] <n8w> yofel:  well ive got 1.97beta
[14:10] <oxymoron> Regarding grub2, does somebody know when gfxboot will be enabled again? :P
[14:11] <oxymoron> n8w: Thats grub2, but they havent reached 2.0 yet :D
[14:11] <yofel> n8w: then you have karmic grub, which doesn't use menu.lst, see the wiki page
[14:11] <Papierkorb> oxymoron: mh? i can enable it in the config file
[14:11] <n8w> oxymoron:  hmm it seems that nothin makes sense to me today:))))
[14:11]  * oxymoron thinks v2.0beta5 would be more logic instead of 1.97beta5 :P
[14:11] <Papierkorb> btw grub: where can i remove old kernels?
[14:12] <yofel> Papierkorb: package manager, remove the old linux-image* packages
[14:12] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Really, does it work then? And now I talk about dynamic and animated grub menus and not only a simple background image.
[14:12] <Papierkorb> ah
[14:12] <m_tadeu> I have filenames with invalid characters, but I'm unable to rename them with dolphin...how can I do it?
[14:12] <Papierkorb> no, animated things aren't possible, then you might try burg
[14:13] <Papierkorb> what is the current kernel version?
[14:13] <yofel> Papierkorb: what release are you using?
[14:13] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Latestt stable is 2.6.32
[14:13] <oxymoron> -21
[14:13] <oxymoron> *-21
[14:13] <Papierkorb> then i should not delete that package :D
[14:14] <Papierkorb> i have old kernels from karmic and i can't find these in the list -.-
[14:15] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Latest kernel is 2.6.34-rc6 though :P But that isnt "stable" yet :P
[14:17] <Hadess> guten tag
[14:17] <Hadess> wie genau funktioniert das jetzt hier?
[14:17] <yofel> !de | Hadess
[14:17] <Papierkorb> nice command :D
[14:17] <calumayoo> cant open facebook in my chromium browser...:(
[14:18] <Papierkorb> you can't? then i must try chromium, a browser without fb ... weee!
[14:18] <oxymoron> yofel: Is this "ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports" kubuntus backports?
[14:18] <avihay_> for the first time in years, I install/upgrade kubuntu, and KNetworkManager works! amazing!
[14:19] <oxymoron> avihay: lol :D
[14:19] <avihay> wait, why do I get excited from something that is a given on any other distro?
[14:20] <mrub> hello everybody! a couple of days ago my dragonplayer crashed and ever since i don't have the current time / movie play time below the video
[14:20] <avihay> mrub: why use dragonplayer?
[14:20] <Papierkorb> dragonlpayer ... thats what i wanted to remove
[14:20] <Papierkorb> use vlc or mplayer with smplayer instead
[14:21] <mrub> yeah, i also have smplayer
[14:21] <calumayoo> Papierkorb: but i can open other sites... do you think i lack some plug-ins?
[14:21] <Papierkorb> does fb work in other browsers?
[14:21] <avihay> the only reason that dragonplayer  got into kubuntu was because kaffein for kde4 didn't finish in time
[14:21]  * oxymoron wonders why *buntu have focused on Firefox integration when most GNU/Linux users perfer Chromium? :D
[14:21] <oxymoron> *prefer
[14:21] <Papierkorb> afaik fb does not use any plugins
[14:21]  * avihay goes to install kaffein back
[14:21]  * Papierkorb prefers Opera
[14:22] <mrub> avihay: so you mean i shouldn't care?
[14:22]  * avihay prefers the ol'e fox
[14:23] <calumayoo> im trying to install firefox now
[14:23] <avihay> yhe, dragonplayer uses the same backend as most players for KDE, and it's user interface is very minimalist with no options to do anything
[14:23] <oxymoron> avihay: Kaffeine doesnt work smooth yet and still doesnt look good on Oyxgen theme :P
[14:23]  * avihay tryes to run the new dragonplayer
[14:23] <oxymoron> avihay: Thats why dragonplayer is so fast <3 I would like support for external subtitles though by automat :P
[14:24] <rerx> hi, i'm currently updating from karmic to lucid. it's stuck at the "installing upgrades" phase, for more than 10 minutes it has not moved passed the "unpacking replacement memtest86..." line. what should i do?
[14:24] <oxymoron> rerx: Oh my, I would recommend NOT to upgrade from karmic to lucid, do fresh install if you can ;)
[14:24] <avihay> ok, now you can select the audio channle to play
[14:24] <Papierkorb> rerx: tbh, i tried to use the upgrade feature and it failed ... reinstalled from cd ;)
[14:25] <oxymoron> rerx: You could try alternate CD though, mount it and run upgrade file whatever the name is :P
[14:25] <Papierkorb> the upgrade feature reminds me of m$: works at first, then you get an error at the end of the process and everything fails :/
[14:25] <mrub> but sometimes dragonplayer has some advantages over smplaver - i.e. it never rejected any video file
[14:25] <rerx> mm, it's just stuck, no error, it just does not move on. i hat this
[14:26] <rerx> i'd much rather *not* have to reinstall everything (too many packages beyond the default install I'd have to recollect)
[14:26] <avihay> oh, and I can also select subtitels
[14:27] <Papierkorb> in the end, you are wasting more time upgrading than reinstalling every thing afterwards ;)
[14:27] <calumayoo> oh. fb opens with firefox
[14:27] <calumayoo> whats wrong with chromium?
[14:27] <Papierkorb> maybe google doesn't like fb :D
[14:27] <mrub> http://littlecuba.de/dragonplayer.png look the additional bar below the movie image is missing. i want it back ;)
[14:28] <calumayoo> lol
[14:30] <oxymoron> avihay: Really? Can you select external subtitles in Dragonplayer?
[14:30] <mrub> oxymoron: no
[14:30] <mrub> you can choose an embedded subtitle or any from a dvd
[14:31] <Papierkorb> can dragonplayer play video dvd isos?
[14:32] <mrub> hm never tried
[14:32] <oxymoron> Sweet 50 MB/s copy transfer now with ext4 and x64 Kubuntu :O
[14:32] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: No I dont think so, but VLCcan ;)
[14:32] <Papierkorb> i know
[14:32] <oxymoron> mrub: Alright ...
[14:33] <Papierkorb> just bought avatar on dvd, copied it with k3b to hdd as iso image ... just in case i don't see the dvd anymore :-p
[14:33] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: It cant play .img anyway, tried :P
[14:34] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Hahahaha, you loose youre DVDs at home? :P
[14:35] <Papierkorb> sometimes my brother wants to watch some of my dvds ... 6 months later i get the dvd back ;)
[14:35] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Cool I managed to play ISO file in Dragonplayer :D
[14:36] <Papierkorb> i'm surpries mpla.yer can't play iso images
[14:36] <Papierkorb> *surprised
[14:37] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: I usually watch on ISO, IMG files on my mediastreamer anyway :P
[14:39] <zus> how can i remove or purge  kubuntu-restricted so i can reinstall? i  can't get avi's to play in anny player. theaudio works great but there is nothing with in the frame of dragon player i see my desktop instead of a movie
[14:40] <mrub> zus: sudo apt-get reinstall kubuntu-restricted
[14:41] <Barridus> lol, i just saw "virtuousbackend" fly by in the stream of gunk doing an apt-get upgrade in terminal
[14:41] <oxymoron> mrub: Is there a reinstall command for apt-get? :S
[14:41] <Papierkorb> there is?
[14:41] <mrub> there isn't? ;)
[14:41] <zus> ill find out
[14:41] <oxymoron> mrub: Isnt it --reinstall as option?
[14:42] <zus> haha
[14:42] <Hadess> also ich habs jetzt gerade ma dabei installiert
[14:42] <Papierkorb> and i ever removed and installed it again -.-
[14:42] <Hadess> aber es hat sich wieder nix geändert
[14:42] <Papierkorb> !de | Hadess
[14:42] <mrub> oh, ya, you're right
[14:43]  * oxymoron thinks 4 august will be the day KDE will go nice :P
[14:43] <Papierkorb> oxymoron: mh?
[14:43] <Papierkorb> new version of KDE?
[14:43] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Thats the day v4.5 of KDE is released :P
[14:43] <zus> so it would be sudo apt-get --reinstall kubuntu-restricted  correct?
[14:43] <Papierkorb> will be...
[14:43] <UbuntuLily> Hi>  I am downloading the new Ubuntu and was wondering if there were any major improvements in Kubuntu because I thought I would give KDE a run
[14:44] <UbuntuLily> or is a majority of the changes only effected ubuntu/gnome
[14:44] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Next time I will wait for KDE 5.5 and not install 5.1-4 as I did now for 4-series  :P
[14:44] <Papierkorb> kpackagekit and dolphin are better, everything runs faster, ...
[14:44] <oxymoron> zus: Yes ;) Try it out
[14:45] <Papierkorb> oxymoron: i will try any new version - KDE <3
[14:45] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: Yeah, KPackagekit finally works as it should and GUI is quite polished now :P
[14:45] <zus> oxymoron,  i am now only getting used to terminal stuffs
[14:45] <Papierkorb> and it doesn't crash when you add/remove repository servers :D
[14:45] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: I still miss that up one folder button in DOlphin though, I MUST HAVE it.
[14:45] <oxymoron> Papierkorb: apt-add-repository is your friend ;)
[14:46] <Papierkorb> i don't, i came from win7 so :-p
[14:46] <amichair> how can I configure the buttons on an infrared remote? currently only pointer works, no other buttons
[14:46] <mrub> oxymoron: just click one the folder in the file path. i think this is a great way to navigate through the system
[14:46] <oxymoron> zus: Yeah thats good, CLI environment is usualy more trustable than GUI and its good to know some commands if system ******* up :P
[14:46] <Papierkorb> mrub: indeed
[14:46] <Papierkorb> for that case i have irssi and lynx installed :D
[14:46] <zus> oxymoron,  that didnt bring me any results
[14:47] <UbuntuLily> I have read 100 articles about it but figured I could get some peoples opinions here.  What would you say you like about KDE compared to Gnome?
[14:47] <oxymoron> mrub: Yes, but still need and want up one folder button :P
[14:47] <zus> oxymoron,  invalid operation kubuntu-restricted
[14:47] <rerx> i killed the update-gui now, trying dpkg --configure -a from the shell. let's see
[14:47] <zus> oxymoron, ill get it one sec lol
[14:47] <oxymoron> zus: Hmm wait a sec and I check out the correct command
[14:47] <Papierkorb> i just don't like gnome because it reminds me of win98
[14:47] <zus> oxymoron, checking my spelling
[14:47] <rerx> i'd hate to be stuck with a non-working os
[14:47] <Papierkorb> just try KDE4.4, you can use gnome and kde both ;)
[14:47] <oxymoron> zus: dpkg-reconfigure could work, but apt-get its easier.
[14:48] <Newboy> is it possible to add to grub2 an entry to just boot to console?
[14:48] <Newboy> seems my old code for grub legacy isn`t working anymore
[14:49] <mrub> oxymoron: why the button? you have to move the mouse anyway so then you also could click on the on folder above.
[14:50] <oxymoron> mrub: It take longer time to move to a tiny breadcrumb are when you could click on a LARGE icon just to get up one folder. But if you want to go deeper up, breadcrumbs is sweet for navigation though ;)

[14:52] <CrazyDoode> how's 10.04 looking? is upgrade path good or is fresh better?
[14:52] <UbuntuLily> When I installed the KDE package it installed all this other crap, is there a way just to install the DE without all the extra crap?
[14:52] <wrr_> kubuntu 10.04 http://docs.google.com/View?id=dff9kd6v_0ks23nmdw
[14:52] <Papierkorb> thats the problem i had when i've installed gnome to test it :D
[14:53] <oxymoron> zus: Try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-restricted" or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kubuntu-restricted" or "sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-restricted" and then "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted"
[14:53] <oxymoron> zus: I am not surw which packages it wants to remove if you remove kubuntu-restricted though, use it carefully ;)
[14:54] <oxymoron> mrub: Hopefully GNU/Linux people will understand efficency and creativity flows in application interfaces as iPhone OS and Android understands.
[14:54] <wrr_> kubuntu 10.04 http://docs.google.com/View?id=dff9kd6v_0ks23nmdw
[14:54] <zus> oxymoron,  hmm, i should find out what packages are involved in the restricted extras...sigh. i just hope i dont have to reinstall everything agian. took 24 hours for me to get everything  to how i like it settings and all
[14:55] <kmd> hi all
[14:56] <kmd> someone speaking russian?
[14:56] <oxymoron> zus: Welcome to the Linux world where you change settings all the time :D Personally I think GNU/Linux and the distros give us to much choices, thats why we need these support IRC channels .D
[14:56] <mrub> oxymoron: that's different because you have to rely on your fat finger tips and therefore need automatically bigger buttons and icons
[14:56] <sumbloke> too much choices?
[14:56] <sumbloke> lol
[14:56] <zus> oxymoron,  as if a new flavor every 6 months wasnt enough to send my indecision and ocd  off  hahha
[14:57] <oxymoron> zus: Personal experience says that its faster and better to remove all settings and go factory defaults and than change settings again rather than try to fix the settings from a corrupt state ;)
[14:57] <mrub> the mouse pointer is more like a surgeon's tool
[14:57] <kmd> i have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and it works with Gnome, but if i change the session and login with KDE i see just blackscreen..
[14:57]  * sumbloke is just watching kubuntu upgrade as we speak
[14:58] <oxymoron> mrub: Yes of course, but the interface effiency is still the same ;) I see a lot of unused space and bad choice of put title bars, actions, menus, icons and everything :P
[14:58] <zus> oxymoron, true,
[14:58] <zus> oxymoron,  brb
[14:58] <sumbloke> why the hell didn't i shell out for a DVD instead of doing it by download
[14:58] <sumbloke> grrr
[14:58] <oxymoron> sumbloke: Yes so much choices that you get lost what you wanted from the beginning :D I go new design all the time xD
[14:59] <mrub> oxymoron: but space is not the limitation on a desktop. with all the widescreens and virtual desktops you have plenty of space
[14:59] <oxymoron> mrub: Maybe we will get hologram touch screens as monitors for our computers in the future and virtual keyboards in the air (Not sure how to solve ergonomy problems though and make fingers think they got key resistance)
[15:00] <sumbloke> it's not a like desktop has two dimensions after all
[15:00] <mrub> that'd be cool
