[00:03] <Watcher|2> Trying to watch Youtube videos on Kubuntu with Firefox. Some play, many do not. The videos that don't play on Firefox do play on Chrome. Can someone tell me how to get all videos to play on Firefox?
[00:06] <len> Still looking for feedback on the best way to upgrade from 10.04 LTS.  The web site instructions are in error.  The update will not present itself automatically until the first point release 3 months from now.  Has anyone upgraded successfully from Kubuntu 10.04 to 12.04?
[00:10] <len> Sure is empty in here for the first weekend after a new release.
[00:26] <DorkVader>  yo, anyone recommend an RDP client to connect to my windows computers?
[00:26] <JMichael|work> DorkVader: does krdc not work?
[00:27] <DorkVader> ah, krdc, cool
[00:27] <DorkVader> I was going to try rdesktop
[00:28] <DorkVader> hm..... apparently I was running krdc last night, but I was too drunk and/or tired to remember... :p
[00:28] <JMichael|work> things like that can happen
[00:29] <DorkVader> the session history doesn't lie
[00:32]  * JMichael|work wonders how well cp'ing a 100GB VM image will/will not work...
[00:33] <DorkVader> hm.... I have sad news: my goal was to use only KDE software for this week... but rekonq just proved itself too unstable :(
[00:33] <DorkVader> so I installed chrome...but I shall keep rekonq as the system default
[00:33] <JMichael|work> rekonq still has a way to go
[00:34] <JMichael|work> it is, however, a better browser than konqueror ever was
[00:34] <JMichael|work> it is, however, a better web* browser than konqueror ever was
[00:35] <DorkVader> I didn't fully appreciate that rekonq wasn't konqueror....
[00:35] <DorkVader> so that sort of leaves konqueror in limbo doesn't it?
[00:37] <JMichael|work> trying to cp this VM image has put my cpu load @ 65+ (so far)
[00:37] <DorkVader> with dolphin?
[00:37] <JMichael|work> i have no idea what the future is for konqueror
[00:39] <DorkVader> Hm......
[00:39] <DorkVader> I think konqueror would make a great meta-data-project management software type thing
[00:40] <eakky> hello What I wanted to ask. o not know enough to have some free time to answer my question
[00:45] <eakky> I would like to know.Kubuntu Kubuntu can reduce the brightness of the screen like Ubuntu. I can remember is the name that Ubuntu Widget Layer. The screen is bright and wonderful, I would have to take my eyes and desktop applications that will reduce the screen brightness to full.
[01:05] <len> Is there anybody in here, or even anyone in here who knows anybody who has successfully upgraded from Kubuntu 10.04 to 12.04?  I've heard no reports of anyone doing this, but there is a warning on mythbuntus site the upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 breaks grub.  It's be nice to hear from at least one person who has attempted a 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade.  I've been googling and have found zero reports of anyone doing this.
[01:34] <ratts> Hello All-can someone explain the difference between the DVD and CD versions of Kubuntu 12.04
[01:36] <ela_> Hallo da draußen. Noch jemand wach?
[01:40] <JMichael|work> !de
[01:52] <ScottyK> Greetings! on a 11.10 system, I checked for all latest packages, installed them. Rebooted, then ran "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". Comes up with nothing. "normal releases" is selected in Muon. Suggestions?
[01:53] <m4v> ScottyK: for upgrade to a new release the command is "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[01:54] <ScottyK> checking - no new release found.. Curious
[01:54] <m4v> you might have to add a -d switch
[01:54] <ScottyK> Negative.
[01:56] <designbybeck> Well dang, I was hoping Kubuntu 12.04 would have the cool installer that Ubuntu has... and give you a better choice (which helps newbies) when installing on the Desk Setup area
[01:56] <designbybeck> I think Ubuntu does a better job of explaining to the newbie what each option will do
[01:58] <m4v> ScottyK: you sure /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades has prompt=normal?
[01:58] <m4v> o well, nevermind.
[02:07] <spagett> I am trying to connect two Kubuntu PCs together via a crossover cable. The PCs have different subnets (ie. 192.168.2.x and 192.168.3.x). I can't get them to ping eachother. Can anyone help?
[02:10] <designbybeck> ooohhh... spagett, last time I tried to do a crossover deal it was on windows xp 10 years ago
[02:10] <designbybeck> never knew you could do it in linux, or have i had a need
[02:10] <designbybeck> but I am not your man to help with this as for I not know....
[02:10] <designbybeck> What are you trying to do?
[02:10] <spagett> Essentially, I am trying to join two subnets
[02:11] <mydogsnameisrudy> think it needs to be 192.168.1.* on both
[02:11] <designbybeck> we did it to play the video game Descent! :)
[02:12] <spagett> ok, if they are in the same subnet, is the mask <IP_ADDRESS> ok?
[02:12] <mydogsnameisrudy> i think that will work
[02:12] <mydogsnameisrudy> not sure on crossover cable
[02:13] <spagett> ok I'll see what I can do
[02:13] <spagett> thanks guys
[02:22] <designbybeck> @#$*@(#**!$
[02:22] <designbybeck> No clue
[02:22] <designbybeck> Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't get me to a login screen now.... Kubuntu 12.04 doesn't get me there
[02:22] <designbybeck> both break
[02:23] <designbybeck> I had Kubuntu 11.10 working on this system
[02:40] <eliukblau> hi
[02:59] <agus_sintang> iki kabeh nganggo kubuntu a
[02:59] <agus_sintang> haha
[03:00] <agus_sintang> nek gak mlebu kene oleh kan?
[03:35] <billytwowilly> one of my hard drives is making a bit of a buzzing noise every once in a while since I've upgraded to 12.04.. anybody have any idea why?
[03:59] <greatman> Hey! I'm having a issue with my USB headset, I put it at the highest priority in kmix but when I play music in Amarok it reverts back to my soundcard because it says it's in higher priority.
[04:03] <lasha> hello guys
[04:04] <lasha> I am new to KDE and I have general questions
[04:04] <billytwowilly> ask away
[04:04] <lasha> GNOME side of linux is experiencing heavy problems on keeping up with kompiz, hows kubuntu doing and how do I install it even ? are the commands same  ?
[04:08] <billytwowilly> sorry, don't know, don't use compiz
[04:11] <Steve132> So, um, I just installed the new kubuntu 12.04
[04:11] <Steve132> its seems as though the package dependency system is explicitly broken
[04:11] <Steve132> by design
[04:12] <Steve132> Specifically, I can't seem to install development packages for Nvidia drivers
[04:12] <Steve132> because the headers (-dev) are marked as 386 only
[04:13] <Steve132> Why is that?
[04:42] <virpara> if i issue lsb_release -a then what will it give? can someone put the  log?
[04:43] <SteveRiley> No LSB modules are available.
[04:43] <SteveRiley> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[04:43] <SteveRiley> Description:    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[04:43] <SteveRiley> Release:        12.04
[04:43] <SteveRiley> Codename:       precise
[04:43] <virpara> did you issued that on KUBUNTU?
[04:44] <SteveRiley> i don't install the kubuntu iso directly. instead, i do a command-line install from the ubuntu minimal netboot, then add kde/kubuntu packages via apt-get
[04:45] <SteveRiley> is there something else specific that you're looking for?
[04:47] <virpara> can i use lsb_release -a to know if i am running kubuntu or ubuntu?
[04:49] <SteveRiley> the major differences between kubuntu and ubuntu are the desktop environments.
[04:49] <SteveRiley> kubuntu = kde
[04:49] <SteveRiley> ubuntu = unity (or gnome 3 if you choose)
[04:49] <SteveRiley> the underlying operating system elements are identical
[04:59] <virpara> but i want to know that if i issue lsb_release will it show like "Distributor ID: Kubuntu" or "Description:    Kubuntu 12.04 LTS"?
[05:00] <JMichaelX> virpara:' lsb_release -a' should give you the version number/nickname
[05:02] <virpara> JMichaelX: you mean I can not use lsb_release -a to check if it's ubuntu or kubuntu, Right?
[05:03] <JMichaelX> virpara: apparently not. it does not give info about desktop environments/window managers
[05:04] <virpara> hmm then "echo $DESKTOP_SESSION" is the only way?
[05:29] <JMichaelX> virpara: could be
[05:30] <virpara> JMichaelX: okay thanks
[05:30] <JMichaelX> i have to say, i have now upgraded 3 kubuntu desktops to precise, and my home server, and so far this has been among the smoothest *buntu dist-upgrades i have experienced
[05:38] <SteveRiley> @JMichaelX: agreed. i've been dist-upgrading my ThinkPad X1 every day since alpha 1 (when I did a clean install) and it's been smooth sailing the whole time.
[05:38] <SteveRiley> including using xorg-edgers and kernel 3.4
[05:53] <burningsands> Hello All, I have a problem, I have my VM set to fullscreen but the kde panal reveals it self under the Fullscreened VM, is there a way to fix this, other then changing the panal settings?
[06:18] <Syria> Hey, I am connected to a wireless access point, can I change the ip address with a click? I have seen a guy doing it but I don't remember how.

[07:08] <Syria> It works found it!
[07:35] <Syria> Could you guys please help me with installing Mozilla thunderbird on my kubuntu 12.04?
[07:36] <kubuntu> Syria: `apt-get install thunderbird` on the commandline or open Muon / Software center and search for thunderbird
[07:37] <Syria> kubuntu What if i can't find it in the software center? I have just installed kubuntu.
[07:38] <rork> Syria: it's in the system menu > system > software center

[08:48] <vimic16> I am new to kubuntu, just wondering if any of you here has ebooks??especially using terminal commands....
[08:55] <georgelappies_> I timed out, apologies if this posted but vimic16 check out http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
[08:56] <vimic16> thanks georgelappies_ ill check that out...

[09:13] <georgelappies_> vimic16: np :)
[09:21] <robotdevil> anyone else got blue tinted flash (youtube) videos?
[09:22] <vadrao> Hi all, I installed a fresh Kubuntu 12.04 LTS. But flash is not working ? Any ideas please. Flash-plugin-installer seems to be installed
[09:23] <rork> vadrao: which browser are you using?
[09:23] <vadrao> robotdevil: I did in 11.04. I guess you need to remove hardware acceleration and every thing will be fine
[09:23] <robotdevil> like uninstall nvidia drivers?
[09:24] <vadrao> rork: It does not seem work in Chrome, Firefox or Opera.. I tried in all. That is strange because flash should work by default atleast on Chrome
[09:24] <robotdevil> then my hdmi video out to tv will not work properly
[09:25] <vadrao> robotdevil: NO, just right click on the any video and go to settings (basically flash seetings) and disable hardware acceleration
[09:25] <robotdevil> oh
[09:26] <datruth> How can I use my webcam in kubuntu 12.04?
[09:27] <robotdevil> vadrao: wow that was easy for a change, thanks
[09:27] <vadrao> robotdevil: Welcome
[09:46] <vadrao> Can anybody confirm if Flash is working on their newly installed 12.04 ?
[09:47] <georgelappies_> vadrao: it is working on mine
[09:48] <georgelappies_> did you install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:48] <vadrao> Yes, I did. What is strange in my case is it is not working even in chromium.
[09:49] <georgelappies_> not working at all or no sound?
[09:50] <vadrao> georgelappies_: Its just not working. Says "no plugin available to display this content" ON chrome
[09:52] <vadrao> georgelappies: http://pastebin.com/jDUYtUfz (it says the restricted package is installed)
[10:05] <georgelappies> vadrao try running in konsole: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer'
[10:08] <georgelappies> the restricted extras only installs the flashplugin-installer, that app (flashplugin-installer needs to download the flash and extract it to '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins//usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[10:08] <georgelappies> oops /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
[10:09] <georgelappies> i had the plugin-installer die on me a few times in the past so as a rule I tend to run it manually after an install to make sure flash is indeed downloaded
[10:11] <georgelappies> lol, only now I see vadrao timed out :p
[10:14] <piotrn> Hello, is there a way to force update to 12.04 ? The popup wont show... system is up to date, muon is configured to show dist updates etc
[10:15] <georgelappies> I have twice now since I installed 12.04 experience a crash leaving me to hard reset the laptop. First time was during a boot and the second time was shortly after a login. My laptop crashes to a console like display looking like the old commodore 64 or arcade games when they boot up. All messed up sqaures flickering on the display with a cursor flashing in the top left corner.
[10:15] <BlouBlou> piotrn: have you tried "sudo do-release-upgrade"?
[10:16] <georgelappies> anybody else experienced this?
[10:16] <piotrn> BlouBlou: thanks, that was what i needed :) coulnt find the tool name, it's at work now
[10:16] <BlouBlou> georgelappies: yeah, it happened to me too with 11.10
[10:17] <BlouBlou> piotrn: :)
[10:17] <georgelappies> BlouBlou: what display card? I have ATI 5470HD and using proprietary drivers?
[10:18] <BlouBlou> georgelappies: mhh, no, I'm using nVidia with proprietary drivers, haven't tried nouveau ones with this card
[10:20] <georgelappies> which there was a consistent way to reproduce this crash, so that one atleast know where to start looking
[10:35] <georgelappies> could the Kubuntu gods perhaps have a look at this: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?58509-Random-crash-to-console-like-display-with-multi-colors
[11:43] <sto4aluck> Using browser is overloading my CPU up to 98-99% because of flashplugin. Pls somebody gibes me an advise what to do to!!!!!!!!!!!
[11:45] <sto4aluck> Using any browser is overloading my CPU up to 98-99% because of flashplugin. Pls somebody gibes me an advise what to do????
[11:46] <kubuntu> hi
[11:46] <BlouBlou> sto4aluck: Do you have flash configured to use gpu?
[11:47] <kubuntu> currently installing kubuntu. its downloading aditional packages, but the connection is really slow
[11:47] <kubuntu> can i install those packages after installation?
[11:48] <BlouBlou> kubuntu: yes, you can install updates and translation packages after installation
[11:48] <BlouBlou> same with mp3 codecs
[11:49] <sto4aluck> BlouBlou:  how to do it,pls?
[11:49] <kubuntu> is there a window poping up which reminds me or do i have to find it manually?
[11:49] <BlouBlou> sto4aluck: open a flash video, right click, configuration, and enable the mark in the first tab
[11:50] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:51] <BlouBlou> kubuntu: codecs -> "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras". Translation packages -> Go to configuration > languages, and it should install update it automatically, if not, just choose your language. Updates >> Go to configuration >> Software >> Updates
[11:51] <kubuntu> also: it says "pack downloading 88%", but no matter how often i click on the 'x' it doesn't abort
[11:51] <kubuntu> BlouBlou: thanks for that information
[11:51] <BlouBlou> np
[11:52] <kubuntu> also: it says "pack downloading 88%", but no matter how often i click on the 'x' it doesn't abort
[11:52] <kubuntu> can i abort that via a commando or something?
[11:53] <sto4aluck> BlouBlou: do you mean to do that from the browser?
[11:53] <BlouBlou> Once kubuntu it's installed, you may force reinstall with "sudo reboot", but I don't know if it will work fine, I would let computer downloading it
[11:53] <BlouBlou> sto4aluck: yes, try using firefox
[11:54] <BlouBlou> err, reinstall no, reboot
[11:54] <sto4aluck> BlouBlou: OK, thanks
[11:54] <kubuntu> BlouBlou: but the connection is extremely slow and it takes ages, that's the problem
[11:54] <kubuntu> BlouBlou: however, i will wait then
[11:54] <BlouBlou> kubuntu: you don't have to watch the video, just load the flash app
[11:56] <kubuntu> one last question ;-)
[11:56] <kubuntu> how can i see the "speed" of my ethernet connection. i mean if it's 100 or 1000 Mbit
[11:57] <BlouBlou> kubuntu: I think it's "ifconfig"
[11:58] <BlouBlou> That's a command, type in konsole or whatever you use :)
[11:59] <kubuntu> already tried that, but it isn't showing what i want
[12:01] <BlouBlou> kubuntu: "ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed", you have to install ethtool
[12:01] <kubuntu> oh :-) the network manager is showing it
[12:01] <BlouBlou> oh, no need to do it then :)
[12:02] <kubuntu> yep, thanks anyway
[12:02] <kubuntu> thats what i love about the linux community. a lot of people are willed to help :D
[12:03] <sto4aluck> BlouBlou: is it to enable the hardware acceleration????
[12:03] <BlouBlou> kubuntu: yeah, we're voluntering, so how are you gonna pay me? :P
[12:03] <BlouBlou> sto4aluck: yeah
[12:03] <BlouBlou> sto4aluck: you it should use gpu instead of cpu
[12:03] <BlouBlou> so
[12:03] <BlouBlou> not my day writting
[12:03] <sto4aluck> BlouBlou:  it was enabled
[12:04] <BlouBlou> sto4aluck: go to firefox menu >> advanced >> use hardware acceleration
[12:04] <sto4aluck> the comp is toshibe 2007 model does it make dif
[12:04] <kubuntu> BlouBlou: with the feeling that you made someone smile ;)
[12:05] <sto4aluck> BlouBlou:  ok
[12:05] <BlouBlou> lunch time, I'm away :P
[12:07] <sto4aluck> BlouBlou:  it was enable on default :D
[12:09] <bradlee> I installed kubuntu 12.04 and it boots into grub repair
[12:11] <bradlee> now I am in the kubuntu live cd and I want to know how to install grub on the hard drive
[12:11] <BluesKaj> !grub | bradlee
[12:11] <bradlee> yes that's what I am doing now.
[12:12] <bradlee> I am downloading the grub repair iso
[12:12] <bradlee> also from kubuntu live cd eth0 is missing
[12:13] <kubuntu> is there a shortcut to maximize a window (kde)?
[12:28] <BluesKaj> b randomatix_ open a terminal , ifup eth0 , if that doesn't connect , dhclient eth0
[12:28] <BluesKaj> bradlee,^
[12:29] <bradlee> hello
[12:29] <bradlee> ok
[12:30] <bradlee> i think when I installed kubuntu i didn't specify the boot partition
[12:30] <bradlee> i specified boot but I don't think i made that partition bootable
[12:31] <BluesKaj> no need for a /boot partition unless it's for windows
[12:31] <bradlee> so i just need to specify /, swap and home
[12:32] <bradlee> I think I found the error, I didn't specify boot loader properly
[12:33] <BluesKaj>  yes  / , /home  and swap
[12:48] <caenel> hiphalrax
[12:48] <caenel> *hi
[12:49] <caenel> my internet connection is about 1 MB/s. i am currently downloading some packets, but only have 10kB/s! can i do something to improve this?
[12:50] <bradlee> thanks for the help blueskarj
[12:50] <bradlee> thanks for the help blueskaj
[12:51] <BluesKaj> caenel, yes ...wait , the repos are being overwhelmed by ppl upgrading
[12:51] <caenel> so it's not only me?
[12:51] <bradlee> blueskaj I specified /dev/sda1 as boot and again I am in grub rescue
[12:52] <BluesKaj> bradlee, are you going to install windows as well ?
[12:52] <bradlee> no
[12:52] <bradlee> is there a fix in grub-rescue
[12:52] <bradlee> to specify boot partition?
[12:53] <BluesKaj> then don't specify a boot partition , it's not necessary
[12:53] <bradlee> yes I did not specify a boot partition
[12:53] <BluesKaj> just / , /home and swap
[12:53] <bradlee> but the installer wants to know boot loader
[12:55] <bradlee> i get error no such device aaff04...
[12:55] <BluesKaj> boot loader is grub
[12:55] <bradlee> and then I am in grub-rescue
[12:56] <BluesKaj> reformat the whole disk or create a new partition table
[12:56] <BluesKaj> grub obviously didn't install correctly
[12:57] <bradlee> should I point boot loader to sda instead of sda1 maybe
[12:57] <caenel> sorry to ask again: <caenel> so it's not only me?
[12:58] <IdleOne> bradlee: yes, sda.
[13:05] <NJL> where is the mouse button actions config in 12.04?
[13:05] <NJL> the one that lets you customize the desktop context menu?
[13:06] <BluesKaj> bradlee, for what it's worth the boot partition is auto flagged at /  ,that's /dev/sda1 on my pc
[13:09] <caenel> ok, new problem. i can't start windows 7 anymore. there is no boot selection when i restart
[13:09] <caenel> kubuntu probably overwrote it or something
[13:10] <caenel> trying it one more time, will report back if it still isn't working
[13:10] <BluesKaj> caenel, run sudo os-prober , then sudo update-grub , check grub to see if winows was picked up
[13:10] <caenel> ah okay, will do that before
[13:11] <NJL> ugh, is kopete broken in 12.04?
[13:11] <NJL> it won't start for me
[13:12] <caenel> Generating grub.cfg ...
[13:12] <caenel> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic
[13:12] <caenel> Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic
[13:12] <caenel> Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
[13:12] <caenel> done
[13:12] <FloodBotK1> caenel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:12] <caenel> does this mean it hasn't found win7?
[13:13] <BluesKaj> NJL, try it in the run command or the terminal ...the terminal gives an output that may point to the problem
[13:13] <BluesKaj> caenel, reboot
[13:13] <NJL> BluesKaj: yeah just did
[13:14] <caenel> BluesKaj: ok, if i don't show up here in a few mins it worked ;) and thank you
[13:15] <caenel_> i am back, it just started kubutu
[13:15] <caenel_> *kubuntu
[13:16] <BluesKaj> caenel_, it will unless you hold down the shift key after the bios page to bring up the the grub menu
[13:17] <caenel_> BluesKaj: restarting again xD
[13:17] <NJL> ah, seems like the tray icons aren't working for kopete and konversation now??
[13:17] <caenel_> i didn't know that. i think it was different some time before, but i will try
[13:19] <caenel> after holding shift it shows the ubuntu entries and memtest
[13:26] <caenel> so, what to do now?

[13:32] <caenel> BluesKaj: yes
[13:32] <BluesKaj> caenel, http://technologytales.com/2010/11/21/manually-adding-an-entry-for-windows-7-to-an-ubuntu-grub2-menu/
[13:34] <t3hcoolness1> Hello!
[13:34] <caenel> BluesKaj: thank you! will try it out
[13:34] <t3hcoolness1> I'm trying to make a distro and I can't seem to find the default desktops folder.
[13:34] <t3hcoolness1> Care to help me out?
[13:37] <caenel> BluesKaj: my win7 is on /dev/sda3 (only have 1 hdd). how do i have to change "set root=’(hd0,msdos2)’"?
[13:40] <caenel> BluesKaj: probably msdos3, right?
[13:41] <danielo> hey everybody
[13:42] <danielo> I would like You to ask for help
[13:43] <caenel> BluesKaj: will try to restart, changed it how i think it is right
[13:43] <danielo> I have connected my hard drive to other computer. He was there for a few hours.
[13:43] <danielo> and now when he is back in my computer, I cant get working some kwin effect, like blur
[13:43] <danielo> I was restarting few times, but didnt help
[13:43] <danielo> please help
[13:46] <caenel> BluesKaj: "error, no such file (or disk?)"
[13:48] <BluesKaj> caenel, i hope you did sudo-update-grub after the changes in the file
[13:48] <BluesKaj> err sudo update-grub
[13:48] <caenel> BluesKaj: did "sudo update-grub2"
[13:48] <caenel> like that site said
[13:49] <BluesKaj> what partition is the windows OS on ?
[13:49] <BluesKaj> sda?
[13:49] <caenel> one moment
[13:50] <caenel> BluesKaj: /dev/sda3
[13:50] <caenel> BluesKaj: says the partition manager
[13:52] <BluesKaj> caenel, so you set the windows root as hd0,msdos3 ?
[13:53] <caenel> BluesKaj: exactly
[13:54] <BluesKaj> caenel, run sudo update-grub , not grub2
[13:55] <caenel> BluesKaj: ok, did that. now restarting again?
[13:55] <caenel> BluesKaj: or do i have to do something different first?
[13:55] <BluesKaj> what was the output in the terminal ? did the windows partition show up?
[13:57] <caenel> Generating grub.cfg ...
[13:57] <caenel> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic
[13:57] <caenel> Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic
[13:57] <caenel> Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
[13:57] <caenel> done
[13:57] <FloodBotK1> caenel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:57] <caenel> BluesKaj: there was an entry in the bootmenu, but it didn't start win
[13:58] <BluesKaj> caenel , next time use pastebin
[13:58] <caenel> BluesKaj: sorry, we eat now. will come back soon
[13:58] <caenel> BluesKaj: whats pastebin?
[13:58] <BluesKaj> it won't start windows , you have to choose windows in the grub menu
[13:59] <BluesKaj> caenel,  http://paste.ubuntu.com
[14:08] <dbc254> just upgraded to 12.04. How do I get system sounds upon bootup?
[14:15] <caenel> BluesKaj: <BluesKaj> it won't start windows , you have to choose windows in the grub menu; i did that
[14:15] <caenel> BluesKaj: but i said something that it didn't find it
[14:18] <familyfir> what could i do here
[14:21] <rork> familyfir: If you have any questions/problems regarding kubuntu you can ask about them here
[14:23] <ballo> Hello. Is there a way to make konsole use the entire width of the window for tabs?
[14:23] <ballo> previous kde version did this and the new version is annoying as hell
[14:24] <caenel> BluesKaj: will try restarting again
[14:26] <BluesKaj> caenel, the only thing I can think of is changing the msdos number until grub is able to open the windows mbr to login
[14:26] <caenel> BluesKaj: from msdos1 to msdos3 or something?
[14:26] <BluesKaj> yes
[14:28] <caenel> ok, another question: on that website is "menuentry ‘Windows 7′ {" could it be that the first char is wrong? in grub the entry is shown as `Windows
[14:28] <caenel> BluesKaj: ah it's not exactly that char before windows, but something is there
[14:28] <danielo> hey
[14:29] <danielo> after switching hard drives I cant get working some kwin effect
[14:29] <danielo> please help
[14:29] <BluesKaj> caenel, yes menuentry doesn't go there , just Windows 7
[14:30] <caenel> BluesKaj: and what does that mean now?
[14:31] <BluesKaj> menu = grub , entry= Windows 7
[14:37] <caenel> BluesKaj: so i don't have to care about that?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> about what?
[14:38] <caenel> BluesKaj: that it shows that strange char in front of the "Windows 7"
[14:39] <BluesKaj> what char?
[14:42] <caenel> BluesKaj:  in the grub menu it shows something like `Windows7 instead of just Windows7
[14:44] <caenel> BluesKaj: however, going to restart now
[14:45] <BluesKaj> change that in the file you were editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[14:45] <BluesKaj> caenel,^
[14:47] <caenel> BluesKaj: tried it again "no such disk" was the error
[14:48] <caenel> BluesKaj: i used the partition manager to find out which partition it is. should i maybe use something different?
[14:49] <BluesKaj> caenel, change that in the file you were editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom , get rid of the ' in front of windows
[14:50] <caenel> BluesKaj: verified it with blkid "/dev/sda3: LABEL="SYSTEM"
[14:51] <caenel> BluesKaj: to what should i change it? menuentry ‘Windows 7′
[14:54] <BluesKaj> don't use the word menuentry
[14:55] <BluesKaj> oh you're editing the file now , I thought you were in grub,cfg
[14:56] <BluesKaj> use the same as the tutorial tells you except the msdos numder because your is different, caenel
[14:57] <caenel> BluesKaj: this is from the tutorial (the one with the strange char)
[14:57] <caenel> BluesKaj: but i will go through msdos1-3
[15:01] <caenel> BluesKaj: msdos2 wasn't it
[15:01] <BluesKaj> caenel,  try this ... sorry i forgot about it ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair ...take those entries out of  /etc/grub.d/40_custom , follow the Boot repair instructions
[15:02] <caenel> BluesKaj: but i pressed "e" on that entry and found something strange "set root=’(hd0,msdos2’" that ( is never closed anywhere
[15:03] <BluesKaj> caenel, nevermind that , just remove the entries you put in  /etc/grub.d/40_custom, and do the boot repair

[15:44] <Hamra> jameslord: what's your VGA?
[15:55] <duytruong> ibus crash on kubuntu 12.04 ??
[15:57] <BluesKaj>  duytruong , launch ?
[15:57] <Hamra> duytruong: more information?
[15:58] <duytruong> yes, i can't launch it and add my language
[15:58] <benson> is there a way to stop xserver and work in console mode in kubuntu?
[15:59] <BluesKaj> benson , yes , alt+ctl+ F1 or 2 , stopx or kdm
[15:59] <Hamra> benson, logout, once on login screen, click CTRL+ALT+F1
[16:00] <duytruong> killall -u <username> (logout)
[16:01] <benson> BluesKaj: But xorg will be in process at alt+ctl+F7 right?
[16:01] <BluesKaj> benson run sudo service kdm stop
[16:02] <BluesKaj> yes alt+ctl+F7 for X , but you have to start kdm again
[16:02] <Hamra> benson, in login screen, click the little icon below password field, and choose "console login", it automatically shuts down X
[16:02] <benson> BluesKaj: does this work while booting itself? just like backtrack which has console mode first then startx to begin with interface?
[16:03] <BluesKaj> benson, yes ,I think I did that a few times
[16:03] <BluesKaj> at the grub menu or at login as well
[16:05] <benson> Hamra: Then how to restart X incase if we need?
[16:05] <benson> BluesKaj: It doesn't affect x right?
[16:06] <BluesKaj> no , you must stopx with kdm or stopx command
[16:07] <Hamra> benson, inside the console, either do "service kdm start", and the login screen appears, or issue "startx" which loads X and logs you in, but careful, as startx will not allow you to automount USB thumb drives
[16:07] <jameslord> Hamra in vmware
[16:07] <jameslord> what is the command to ls a file with absolut path
[16:08] <BluesKaj> benson, what are you trying to do at the tty ?
[16:09] <benson> BlueKaj: nothing i just want to keep it simple in console mode to my text based application
[16:10] <benson> Hamra: Thanks yaar... I will try this out!
[16:10] <benson> BluesKaj: Thanks bud :)
[16:12] <jameslord> hi all
[16:12] <Hamra> jameslord: i'm afraid i dont understand
[16:14] <Hamra> my internet connection isnt the best, and can be quite flaky... ths means kmail keeps throwing connection error to the notification system, how can i suppress them?
[16:15] <Hamra> well, technically it's an akonadi issue, as poor kmail isnt the one fetching the mail... :S
[16:16] <duytruong> Kmail, Evolution <<<<<< Thunderbird (increasing respectively)
[16:18] <caenel> hi
[16:18] <caenel> BluesKaj: didnt work
[16:18] <caenel> BluesKaj: now i cant even start my linux anymore
[16:19] <BluesKaj> jameslord, kmail has a a few "issues" , even on decent connections ...I gave up on it after 2 weeks of contstant segfaults
[16:20] <Hamra> BluesKaj: that was me asking :) i know it does, thunderbird is still configured, and still my favourite, but i have no problem trying kontact as well, see how it's coming... personally, i really wish it'll get better, because nothing beats a pretty desktop integration, but alas...
[16:22] <BluesKaj> caenel, sorry to hear that ..I guess you should go back to  /etc/grub.d/40_custom and restore your grub menu to it's previous state . then run update-grub  again , but adding windows on setups is a problem which can be tricky to fix
[16:22] <caenel> BluesKaj: i even tried it with the windows cd/dvd. nothing worked, just destroyed more
[16:23] <caenel> BluesKaj: but both my windows and linux partitions are intact, i just cant start any os
[16:23] <BluesKaj> Hamra, I just wish kmail would run as an ordinary email client without being tied to akonadi and and a database
[16:24] <BluesKaj> caenel, your grub menu is corrupted
[16:24] <DeathGuppie> does anyone know where to find the settings for kdm.. I don't see an advanced tab in the settings anymore?
[16:26] <Hamra> BluesKaj: i disagree :) akonadi has lots of potential, it just requires a little more workforce behind it... it's buggy, yes, it's messed up, yes, but it can be something great when it works correctly
[16:26] <BluesKaj> DeathGuppie, in the run command /krunner , alt+f2
[16:26] <caenel> BluesKaj: and how do i fix that now?
[16:27] <DeathGuppie> BluesKaj: are you saying to run krunner from krunner?
[16:27] <DeathGuppie> ??
[16:27] <Hamra> DeathGuppie: open krunner, and type KDM, second entry should be "login manager"
[16:27] <Hamra> err.. "login screen"
[16:27] <BluesKaj> Hamra, I wasn't condemning akonadi , it's ther for enterprise /office setups , but for home users akonadi isn't really necessary ..wish there was a nondatabse option
[16:28] <DeathGuppie> I see it now
[16:28] <DeathGuppie> it was all squished
[16:28] <BluesKaj> no kdm from krunner DeathGuppie
[16:30] <DeathGuppie> BluesKaj: I found it but I need to be root.. so I'm looking for the command line, since it doesn't offer me kdesu
[16:31] <BluesKaj> kdesudo kdm ?
[16:31] <DeathGuppie> BluesKaj: no.. that would start kdm.. which starst x, then kdm then kde.. bad idea
[16:32] <caenel> seems like i have a broken mbr and a broken grub. what to do now?
[16:32] <DeathGuppie> caenel: rebuild it
[16:33] <caenel> DeathGuppie: how do i do that?
[16:33] <BluesKaj> DeathGuppie, doubt it has any undesireable effects if it's already running
[16:33] <DeathGuppie> http://blogs.deepal.org/2009/06/how-to-fix-mbr-using-ubuntu-live-cd.html
[16:34] <DeathGuppie> caenel: there are other ways.. but your problem is not as bad as you may think.. it is pretty easy to fix
[16:34] <Hamra> DeathGuppie: kdesudo kcmshell4 kdm
[16:34] <BluesKaj> DeathGuppie, well, it hasn't been easy so far
[16:34] <caenel> DeathGuppie: i tried to fix that for a long time now. BluesKaj helped me
[16:35] <caenel> DeathGuppie: at first just windows didn't boot, no nothing's booting
[16:35] <BluesKaj> yeah , I can take some of the blame , so called tutorials , didn't help
[16:35] <caenel> DeathGuppie: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/ms-sys/download that link in the tutorial doesn't work
[16:36] <DeathGuppie> caenel: give me a minute I'll read it and figure out what you need.. I used to work with gentoo.. so I can help you fix this no prob
[16:37] <caenel> DeathGuppie: ok, thank you
[16:38] <Hamra> DeathGuppie: generally, for any configuration page you're not finding in "system settings", kcmshell4 is your friend, in a terminal, type "kcmshell4 --list", and you'll get a list of all KDE config screens available :)
[16:38] <jameslord> how to make iso as apt source?
[16:38] <jameslord> i have mount iso to /home/jameslord/iso
[16:39] <DeathGuppie> caenel: instead of having you chroot over from a live cd (complicated procedure).. I'm thinking maybe you could try this.. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[16:40] <DeathGuppie> Hamra: thanks
[16:40] <caenel> DeathGuppie: rescatux or super grub2 disk?
[16:41] <BluesKaj> DeathGuppie, for non native english speakers supregrubdisk can be confusing
[16:41] <BluesKaj> one has to read between the lines so to speak
[16:42] <DeathGuppie> BluesKaj: I'm thinking that having him chroot over might be more confusing..
[16:42] <BluesKaj> unless the newer versions are more understandable
[16:42] <DeathGuppie> caenel: have you tried using the install cd and then just skipping to the last part where it installs the mbr?
[16:42] <caenel> DeathGuppie: do you talk about the kubuntu or win7 cd now?
[16:43] <DeathGuppie> kubuntu
[16:43] <caenel> also http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/super_grub2_disk_1.99_beta1.png i doesn't look very complicated
[16:43] <DeathGuppie> caenel: I don't think it's that complicated
[16:43] <caenel> no, how do i skip diretly to that part?
[16:44] <BluesKaj> caenel, I didn't say complicated , I said confusing , but fine go for it .
[16:44] <DeathGuppie> caenel: I like the super grub answer it's cleaner.. I'd try that
[16:45] <BluesKaj> anyway , stuff to do ...BBL
[16:45] <DeathGuppie> at least you can access your system
[16:45] <burningsands> Hello All, I have a problem, I have my VM set to fullscreen but the kde panal reveals it self under the Fullscreened VM, making that area of the vm unclickable, is there a way to fix this, other then changing the panal settings? Like changing the reveal area of the panal?
[16:46] <caenel> DeathGuppie: ok, i will use super grub then. can i install it to a usb or do i need a cd?
[16:47] <caenel> DeathGuppie: oh and should i use super grub 1 or 2?
[16:48] <DeathGuppie> caenel: you should use super grub2.. and the medium doesn't matter as long as you know how to do it.. making an install cd is easier, unless you have used unetbootin before
[16:49] <caenel> DeathGuppie: the problem is that i don't have any cds around at the moment
[16:50] <DeathGuppie> hmm.. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[16:50] <caenel> can i use the startup disc creator from kde?
[16:51] <DeathGuppie> caenel: yes
[16:51] <caenel> DeathGuppie: will use this
[16:51] <DeathGuppie> it should be in the repositories for ubuntu not shure
[16:51] <caenel> DeathGuppie: its already installed
[16:51] <DeathGuppie> click the Diskimage radio button and install the ISO image you downloaded
[16:52] <DeathGuppie> it should do everything for you
[16:54] <caenel> DeathGuppie: wth, usb creator isn't doing what i want
[16:54] <caenel> DeathGuppie: will have a look into unetbootin
[16:55] <DeathGuppie> caenel: unetbooting allways works
[16:55] <DeathGuppie> unetbootin.. I mean
[16:56] <DeathGuppie> got to reboot.. will brb
[17:05] <caenel> what's wrong with unetbootin? i downloaded it, chmod+x'd it, but it won't start
[17:05] <caenel> is ./unetboo* the right command?
[17:31] <phunyguy> ok folks, I have a PC with Ubuntu 12.04 that I installed Kubuntu-desktop package on, and I cannot get this thing to install anything via apt-get, including updates.  Here is the error I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/955583/
[17:42] <caenel> DeathGuppie: unetbootin didn't work
[17:43] <caenel> DeathGuppie: so i decided to just reinstall kubuntu here, so i have at least one os. i'm currently installing, how do i fix my mbr for booting windows later?
[17:48] <georgelappies> had another hard freeze up now with the flickering screen :(
[17:50] <DeathGuppie> caenel: the Kubuntu install should do that for you if it doesn't then come ask.. I'll try to keep tabs on this channel
[18:10] <caenel> BluesKaj: ok, so i reinstalled kubuntu
[18:10] <caenel> BluesKaj: now i should fix my windows...
[18:15] <BluesKaj> caenel, did the installer ask if you wanted to add windows to grub?
[18:15] <caenel> BluesKaj: no
[18:15] <BluesKaj> hmm, it should have
[18:16] <caenel> BluesKaj: didn't do, i think it's completely broken
[18:17] <chronos> There is someway to make dolphin not use notification bars to show file copy?
[18:21] <BluesKaj> chronos, rclick on the little ^ in the system tray, right click on notifications, choose notification settings
[18:22] <chronos> hm but where they go now?
[18:22] <BluesKaj> caenel, I usually use the alternate install version , it has more options in grub , I think
[18:23] <BluesKaj> chronos, ??
[18:24] <chronos> BluesKaj: if I remove from notification bar I can' t see it anywhere
[18:25] <caenel> BluesKaj: grub is now showing me "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1"
[18:26] <caenel> BluesKaj: but when i start it "no disk found. no operating system"
[18:28] <chronos> BluesKaj: nervemind... after disable u need to restart kuiserver
[18:30] <BluesKaj> caenel, I think the windows mbr is missing
[18:30] <caenel> BluesKaj: i tried to fix that before
[18:31] <caenel> BluesKaj: but i think it messed more up than it helped
[18:31] <caenel> BluesKaj: there is "bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot" in the windows recovery prompt. but i got an error at fixboot
[18:31] <caenel> BluesKaj: don't know if it works now
[18:32] <jonte> Hi, I'm having problems with my kubuntu upgrade. Am I in the right place?
[18:35] <DarthFrog> !ask | jonte
[18:36] <BluesKaj> just run the fixmbr command , caenel
[18:38] <jonte> I'm upgrading to 12.04 and distribution upgrade could not install 'initramfs-tools'. Error in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log is "ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'initramfs-tools': 'subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1'"
[18:38] <caenel> BluesKaj: ok, i will try that. thanks
[18:45] <natman> i am getting a dark screen at logon on my latop, can anyone help?
[18:52] <jonte> If my initrmfs-tools are broken, what's the risk of running into trouble when I reboot after a distribution upgrade?
[18:57] <shadeslayer> jonte: possibly unbootable install
[18:57] <shadeslayer> that's the worse case scenario
[18:57] <shadeslayer> make sure that a initramfs was generated in /boot for the 3.2 kernel
[18:57] <shadeslayer> s/initramfs/initrd/
[18:59] <shadeslayer> oh this is interesting
[18:59] <shadeslayer> jonte: turns out initramfs-tools is only used for 2.6 kernels
[18:59] <shadeslayer> ( or so I'm told by apt-cache show initramfs-tools )
[19:00] <natman> i am getting a dark screen at logon on my latop, can anyone help?
[19:00] <shadeslayer> natman: can you boot into recovery mode and see if it works there?
[19:01] <natman> shadeslayer: dont need to, once i press the increase screen brighness button i get the screen back again, its just weird that i need to do that at all
[19:01] <shadeslayer> hm
[19:01] <shadeslayer> natman: hardware?
[19:02] <shadeslayer> probably a issue with the backlight driver setting the initial value as 0
[19:02] <natman> shadeslayer: the problem is, turn laptop on, its all fine, once login page comes up the screen goes dark as in zero brightness, if i type my password and ht enter, the desktop comes up and screen lights up again
[19:02] <shadeslayer> oh
[19:04] <shadeslayer> seems like kdm is the issue, though I can't be sure
[19:05] <shadeslayer> natman: can you pastebin /var/log/kdm.log ( make sure to check for sensitive info )
[19:05] <natman> shadeslayer: what do you mean by pastebin?
[19:06] <Unit193> !pastebin
[19:06] <shadeslayer> yes
[19:06] <shadeslayer> Unit193: thanks
[19:09] <natman> shadeslayer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/955804/
[19:12] <shadeslayer> hmm, nothing there
[19:12] <natman> shadeslayer: did i not upload it right?
[19:12] <shadeslayer> natman: oh no no, what I meant was, I don't see anything wrong there
[19:12] <natman> ahh
[19:13] <natman> shadeslayer: I had the same issue with 11.10, did a fresh install and still having it
[19:17] <shadeslayer> you could try to boot with acpi=off but I don't think it'll make much of a difference
[19:17] <natman> shadeslayer: have already tried that, did nothing
[19:18] <shadeslayer> yeah thought so
[19:18] <shadeslayer> natman: I'm off to sleep, maybe someone else can help you here
[19:18] <natman> shadeslayer: ok thanks anyway
[19:23] <natman> where do i go to get a certain command to run at startup?
[19:24] <DarthFrog> natman: /etc/rc.local
[19:24] <DarthFrog> Or ~/.kde/Autostart
[19:27] <ballo> hrm, I still haven't found a way to make konsole use the entire width for tabs like the old version used to
[19:28] <ballo> must be hard-coded
[19:28] <ballo> :(
[19:28] <ntadej> Hi!
[19:28] <ntadej> I have a problem after updating to precise.
[19:28] <ntadej> software-properties-kde, apport and other apps crash on start
[19:29] <ntadej> python: /build/buildd/sip4-4.13.2/siplib/siplib.c:10938: sipEnumType_alloc: Assertion `(((currentType)->td_flags & 0x0007) == 0x0003)' failed.
[19:35] <natman> does anyone else have problems seeing which window is what when using "alt+tab"
[19:54] <hanasaki> the latest 12.04 kde - how do I reenable the alt-tab to go through windows?  it no longer functions
[20:18] <georgelappies> hanasaki: it works on mine still
[20:23] <hanasaki> thanks georgelappies .. any thoughts on where to look to reenable?
[20:25] <spartan31> Hallo people!
[20:25] <spartan31> Can anyone tell me how to set digital clock plasmoid font size independetly from panel height???
[20:25] <georgelappies_> hansaki: did you do an upgrade or clean install?
[20:26] <hanasaki> upgrade
[20:27] <hanasaki> a search suggests rm the .kde dir... that's a bit harsh
[20:29] <georgelappies_> hansaki: to be honest only place I kind think is "system and settings -> shortcuts and gestures -> Global keyboard shortcuts -> kwin -> walk through windows
[20:29] <georgelappies_> hansaki: no dont remove .kde !!!
[20:30] <georgelappies_> rather mv .kde .kde.backup
[20:30] <georgelappies_> as a last resort :)
[20:31] <georgelappies_> hansaki: but first try and fix it in "global keybaord shortcuts" under kwin settings
[20:32] <hanasaki>  Settings -> Desktop -> Window Behavior -> Navigation      This is all grey inactive
[20:33] <hanasaki> georgelappies_:  where is "global keybaord shortcuts" under kwin settings
[20:35] <georgelappies_> "system and settings -> shortcuts and gestures -> Global keyboard shortcuts " then in the right from the drop down choose kwin (it should be on amarok)
[20:35] <hanasaki> found it
[20:35] <hanasaki> it is set correctly
[20:37] <hanasaki> this upgrade .. not so smooth
[20:38] <georgelappies_> mmmm, well then only other solution I can think of is to move the ~/.kde dir to to ~/.kde.backup by logging out and at the login screen pressing "ctrl + alt + f1" and logging in to the terimnal then issue "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.backup" and then once its moved run "sudo reboot -n"
[20:39] <georgelappies_> but you will need to reconfigure all your settings
[20:39] <hanasaki> and I switched off gnome...
[20:39] <hanasaki> lol
[20:40] <georgelappies_> you running ubuntu with kde packagaes?
[20:40] <hanasaki> kde-full
[20:40] <hanasaki> kubuntu
[20:42] <georgelappies_> o ok, yeah as well I always run a "sudo apt-get install kde-full" after an install
[21:22] <markburberry32> Evening all.  Just wonder if anyone here knows the maximum possible size you can stuff into a zip file please?  There are a lot of files on this machine which are taking up enormous amounts of space, and I think it'd benefit from compression.
[21:23] <saidi> can i upgrade from kubuntu 11.04 to 12.04 using live CD?
[21:23] <markburberry32> They're mostly video files taken from a USB Digital Video Recorder, ranging from 125MB up to in excess of 1.2GB
[21:24] <markburberry32> If someone could tell me how big a zip file can be, I can figure out where to start and how many files I can shove in each one, at the moment it totals about 145 files like this.
[21:31] <nurupo> markburberry32: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_(file_format)#Limits
[21:31] <markburberry32> brill, thanks :)

[22:15] <kubuntu> Hello everyone
[22:15] <kubuntu> Does what is going on with the kubuntu repositories?
[22:16] <kubuntu> I can not find any decent apps
[22:16] <hypcrum> are you talking about muon?
[22:16] <kubuntu> Yup yop
[22:16] <kubuntu> yup
[22:16] <hypcrum> do a reload
[22:16] <hypcrum> then restart the ap
[22:16] <hypcrum> and it will rebuild the search index
[22:16] <kubuntu> How do I do that?
[22:16] <hypcrum> it's kinda bugged
[22:17] <hypcrum> click
[22:17] <hypcrum> "check for updates"
[22:18] <kubuntu> Thank you kindly :)
[22:18] <hypcrum> did that work?
[22:18] <hypcrum> : ]
[22:18] <kubuntu> I am loving the new release, that repository thing has been throwing me through a loop.
[22:18] <hypcrum> yea....
[22:18] <hypcrum> muon has some bugs...
[22:19] <hypcrum> my friend wrote it and i don't think he got his updated version in before they release 12.04
[22:19] <kubuntu> I thought since funding was cut from chaonical kubuntu decided to go vendetta and stopped using the ubuntu repos.
[22:19] <kubuntu> lol
[22:19] <hypcrum> haha
[22:20] <kubuntu> Im installing updates now, then I will try the reload
[22:20] <hypcrum> would you be willing to try something out for me?
[22:20] <kubuntu> Possibly, what's up?
[22:20] <hypcrum> I have a game that i stuck in a package and i want to make sure it's working

[01:23] <smoke_> hey guys! computer novice here getting ready to try and install xubuntu for the first time. I put new hard drive into a windows computer and planning to use disk imager to write iso to the hard drive. Am I on the right track?
[01:25] <krytarik> smoke_: No, not quite.  You need to create a bootable DVD/USB from it, and install from there.
[01:26] <smoke_> okay, can do! Do I need to format the hard disk with a certain file system type or anything prior? or the usb setup will take care of that all?
[01:27] <krytarik> The latter.
[01:27] <smoke_> @krytarik great thank you :)

[01:49] <terratoma> crickets
[02:56] <holstein> terratoma: you think?
[02:56] <holstein> 16:44 < terratoma> so i can connect to a wifi wpa network in ubuntu.  if i run into a new one, i cant connect to it with wicd( i think?) in lubuntu
[02:56] <holstein> from what i read, you are just not using wicd properly.. and i dont use wicd, so i cant give any first hand advice
[02:56] <Unit193> Oh gosh, mixing wicd and nm.
[02:57] <holstein> the netork manager for lubuntu should attach the same as ubuntu's..
[02:57]  * Unit193 hides.
[02:57] <holstein> yeah, when i tried to just simply add wicd, it didnt work so well..
[02:59] <terratoma> so maybe my mistake is having wicd installed at all?
[02:59] <Unit193> Why not NM for Lubuntu?  It's the default.
[02:59] <holstein> terratoma: i think, you are assuming its an issue with lubuntu vs ubuntu, and i think actually is network manager vs wicd
[02:59] <holstein> terratoma: i would ask the same. why not use lubuntu's default network manager?
[02:59] <holstein> what is the goal?
[03:00] <terratoma> oh id love to !
[03:01] <terratoma> i instlled wicd for some reason
[03:01] <terratoma> i can not do that anymore
[03:01] <holstein> terratoma: maybe just use the default one, that works

[18:32] <pleia2> wxl: what do you recommend for folks creating usb sticks for iso testing?
[18:33]  * ianorlin uses dd
[18:33] <pleia2> I tried that, but it took forever and failed
[18:33] <pleia2> 2 different usb sticks
[18:34] <ianorlin> did you check md5sum?
[18:34] <pleia2> I've used unetbootin or usb-creator-gtk in the past, but they are sometimes more trouble than they're worth (and I switch between them because sometimes one randomly works while the other doesn't)
[18:34] <pleia2> yes, that's what fails ;)
[18:34] <pleia2> apparently I use cheap usb sticks that really don't like the strain that dd puts on them
[18:35] <pleia2> they're ok for most other things
[18:35] <ianorlin> hmm I really only use usb drives for dd and use external hard drives for most other things
[18:45] <Mr_Cometz> Happy New Year from Asia :)

[00:21] <guiverc> ack Bashing-om
[00:22] <Bashing-om> guiverc: :)
[00:35] <Wild_Man> Bashing-om, I am going to rest but I wanted to let you know I have not been able to find what we discussed last night after a couple of hours of looking
[00:41] <Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Thanks - I will attempt to put some thoughts and see what I can do. As this weeks WIKI was painful to get to-gether a close proof-reading is in order from other's eyes.
[01:05] <Wild_Man> Bashing-om, I will look soon
[01:14] <Bashing-om> Wild_Man: :D
[01:50] <Wild_Man> Bashing-om, I do not see any issues, I do have a question we are no longer posting here right? https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/
[01:56] <Bashing-om> No - the person who was "conscripted" to post to reddit - up and ran away. I have an open call: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Ideas ; with no responses :(
[01:56] <guiverc> finished read thru Bashing-om, one suggestion (minor, comma(s)) made in the Hub
[01:57] <Bashing-om> guiverc: Looking :)
[02:00] <Wild_Man> Bashing-om, I did not think we did, I think we should remove the link from UWN since there is no new issues being posted
[02:01] <Bashing-om> guiverc: How about we enclose - based on debian-installer - in commas to make the expression a clause ?
[02:02] <Bashing-om> Wild_Man: There continues to be activity though for ubuntu on reddit, I feel we do want to direct attention there.
[02:03] <guiverc> It's approaching the time of Santa claus... but clause in regards english syntax/semantics - a bit beyond this dumb aussie..
[02:04] <guiverc> readers will understand it, it just required me to re-read sentence to make sense of it, thus my comment...
[02:05] <guiverc> it
[02:05] <guiverc> sorry, it's a petty issue, Wild_Man didn't have issue with it so just leave it.
[02:06] <Bashing-om> well I do think guiverc that you are correct to make the sentence the more readable :P
[02:07] <Wild_Man> I am okay with it but to me it is like following a link to a guide that is severely outdated
[02:08] <guiverc> Bashing-om,  if you saw (gdoc), maybe ..
[02:13] <Wild_Man> guiverc, I misread your message, I thought you were talking about the link to Reddit
[02:17] <guiverc> not a problem.. I confuse myself regularly too...
[02:17] <Bashing-om> Wild_Man: And yeh - reddit link: move it to Further News advisory ?
[02:26] <Bashing-om> Wild_Man: reddit link moved :)
[02:34] <Bashing-om> All logged back out of - are we now set to go for tomorrow's launch ?
[02:40] <guiverc> I'm not aware of any issues, re-read "Server installer plans for " on wiki - all good to me.
[02:40] <Bashing-om> guiverc: :D
[02:50] <Wild_Man> I see that, I an not sure why we should keep it if UWN is not being posted their, to me it where the link is pointing it is showing posts like what is on the forum for general support or discussions but no direct link to new UWN and we do not include links to the forum general support or discussions only top five support threads, I will leave it up to you to whatever you decide, I have to go for now
[02:53] <Bashing-om> guiverc: ^^ thoughts in respect to a reddit link ?
[02:58]  * guiverc looking up reddit, I don't use it, and UWN looks really old there..
[03:00] <guiverc> no thoughts sorry.
[03:05] <Bashing-om> guiverc: reddit very ubuntu active "50 minutes ago" as only one example. Still think it good to leave a reddit link in UWN.
[03:07] <guiverc> is there an official reddit account (I only saw user posts of uwn), or can we do it as ourselves?  It could be treated as social media (twitter, yuk.fb, i do mewe in two groups)
[03:07] <guiverc> the mewe groups are just done as me..; not official
[03:09] <Bashing-om> guiverc: Yeah - we had one slidinghorn making the reddit postings - since has departed IRC/forum.
[03:10] <Bashing-om> guiverc: TheNerdyAnarchist == slidinghorn
[03:11]  * guiverc recognizes the name(s), but don't remember much else..
[03:11] <Wild_Man> no official reddit account guiverc and I do not have an account their and no plans to get one, I think it should be removed until someone commits to posting regularly or we create our own account
[03:12] <Wild_Man> I am not opposed to creating our own account but the script will have to be adjusted for reddit formatting
[03:13] <Bashing-om> smoke break !
[03:16] <guiverc> I briefly toyed with reddit (exploration for lubuntu purposes, become the team's person there maybe) but didn't work out what reddit was/is & I dropped the idea..   Just posting links is easier/lighter but it's better if someone does understand site, can answer anything maybe
