[00:15] <andre_> thanks a lot!
[00:16] <GrueMaster_> Anyone here know how to get quassel-core to use a PostgreSQL or MySQL backend?

[00:21] <Guest38117> dad
[00:21] <Guest38117> network
[00:22] <Guest38117> networking problems on 10.04lts
[00:26] <localgh0st> My sound (via spdif) stopped working after lucid lynx upgrade and all, anyone know some things I should check or read to help me figure this out? It just crackles, no other sound is discernible.
[00:27] <James147> localgh0st: You could try:
[00:27] <James147> !sound | localgh0st
[00:28] <localgh0st> James147, thanks for the resources I'll check em out
[00:29] <andre_> hey, got another problem
[00:30] <andre_> i wanted to play some music from my external partition (ntfs), but it doesn't work in amarok
[00:32] <andre_> fuck, just had to restart it :S
[00:32] <maco> andre_: please dont swear
[00:33] <andre_> o.O
[00:34] <maco> we have rules in our channels. they include family-friendly/polite language
[00:34] <andre_> sorry, different culture ;)
[00:35] <andre_> oh, another question :D
[00:35] <andre_> on windows i had the possibility to boost the bass a little bit (on my headphones)
[00:35] <andre_> how can i do that here?
[00:37] <andre_> oh, and can you suggest me a good webcam recorder + video editing? (or probably both in the same package)
[00:38] <apparle> localgh0st: I suggest you read the system logs .. use Ksystemlog
[00:38] <apparle> andre_: as for the mp3. try opening an mp3 file.... a popup will tell you what is required to play it..... then you can install the packages.
[00:39] <andre_> apparle: the mp3-thing works already, thank you!
[00:39] <andre_> i just closed amarok without closing the tray icon
[00:39] <andre_> that was the problem
[00:39] <localgh0st> apparle I see things there relating to hda-intel
[00:40] <localgh0st> Though I'm not sure what to make of any of it
[00:40] <DaskreeCh> http://blusrcu.ba/nookie/?p=48 ;-)
[00:40] <apparle> localgh0st: see if you are seeing any errors like... timeout or stuff
[00:40] <apparle> andre_: why is that a problem
[00:41] <localgh0st> This is the only thing that looks error-ish
[00:41] <andre_> that was the reason why it didn't worked
[00:41] <localgh0st> [107506.904610] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.
[00:41] <andre_> so, is there any posibility to boost my bass a little bit
[00:42] <localgh0st> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=8a41155c45dba56cb9af65481c474a927cc4206b
[00:43] <daweed> hello im so sorry my computers shutdown it self
[00:44] <DaskreeCh> daweed: ok
[00:45] <apparle> andre_: for your video editing there is kdenlive http://www.kdenlive.org/ Its not so stable, but I can't say as I have not used it. Then there is kino also
[00:45] <apparle> !info kdenlive | andre_
[00:45] <apparle> !info kino | andre_
[00:46] <gorgonzola> join /chromium
[00:46] <gorgonzola> sorry, typo.
[00:46] <apparle> andre_: for base boost, I think you will need an equalizer.....I am sure it can be done, but don't know how. I am also looking for how to configure equalizer
[00:47] <daweed> did any one know how to install grub with the instalation cd of kubuntu?
[00:47] <localgh0st> Anyone have thoughts on my crackling audio?
[00:47] <andre_> it works with the amarok one
[00:47] <andre_> but i wish i had a system wide working one
[00:48] <apparle> andre_: what works with amarok
[00:48] <apparle> localgh0st: I don't know.... sorry can't help...... hang around if someone knows they will help
[00:48] <andre_> the bass boost – with amarok
[00:49] <apparle> andre_: and where are you applying it?
[00:49] <localgh0st> WOW
[00:49] <localgh0st> It came back...
[00:49] <localgh0st> Very loudly >_<
[00:49] <andre_> extras, equalizer
[00:49] <andre_> and then moving the sliders
[00:50] <apparle> andre_: I am not sure.... but last time I had seen equalizer it was not there........... check in system settings sound if there is an equalizer
[00:51] <luis__> I need urgent help: something went totally wrong with the actu to 10.04, some packages are missing, the boot is failing, I try to repair files with safe mode but in cannot acces the server, not able to get any package, please help!
[00:51] <apparle> andre_: sorry ..... last time I saw amarok extras ...... it didn't have equalizer
[00:51] <andre_> apparle: as i said, it works only in amarok, but i haven't found a system wide option :(
[00:51] <daweed> localgh0st: do you know how to install grub with the cd of kubuntu installation cd or ubuntu or xubuntu
[00:52] <luis__> I need urgent help: something went totally wrong with the actu to 10.04, some packages are missing, the boot is failing, I try to repair files with safe mode but in cannot acces the server, not able to get any package, please help!
[00:52] <apparle> andre_: for the timebeing you could use vlc and its equalizer
[00:52] <apparle> luis__: what went wrong
[00:52] <localgh0st> daweed, I think grub is the default during the installation, am I wrong?
[00:52] <andre_> apparle: the amarok-one works, but it's just amarok-specific
[00:53] <andre_> if i watch a youtube-video, it still sounds not very good
[00:53] <apparle> andre_: ya I got that ..... and I don't know about the system wide settings......
[00:53] <andre_> ok
[00:53] <luis__> before going to user and passwork it displays some commands telling a warning, something related to kernel, but its dessapears to fast to read, then the old user and password of the old version comes, when it enter no bar, widgets appear, only the desktop
[00:53] <luis__> its like the old version with some parts of the new 10.04 malfuntioning
[00:54] <localgh0st> Okay update to my sound problem. Amarok works, but the sound tests in settings produce crackling while sound in chrome and prism is completely silent...
[00:54] <localgh0st> The plot thickens.
[00:54] <localgh0st> Aplay is silent as well
[00:54] <apparle> luis__: and what happens when you try to install anyting
[00:54] <localgh0st> "laying WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono"
[00:55] <apparle> localgh0st: funny aplay is silent and phonon is working....
[00:55] <daweed> localgh0st: yeah but i will install windows and it will delete the mbr and i want to know how to make it came back again when i ll lose it
[00:55] <luis__> apparle: the safe mode throws tons of warning: not able to get to security.ubuntu and other pages
[00:55] <luis__> pretty weid
[00:55] <localgh0st> daweed, I think you boot back into the liveCD and restore grub using one of the commands
[00:56] <luis__> think kernel is wrong or something, or maybe packages are missing
[00:56] <luis__> and i dont know about a command to reinstall everythin
[00:56] <luis__> g
[00:56] <localgh0st> apparle, Amarok works flawlessly, but I get that returned with aplay and I hear nothing... Very odd, agreed.
[00:57] <apparle> luis__: if you want to fix everything... its "sudo apt-get -f install" that would try to fix any problems apt has.
[00:57] <apparle> luis__: check if you are still using the hardy repo
[00:57] <luis__> hardy heron?
[00:58] <daweed> localgh0st: and where can i download the ubuntu live cd?
[00:58] <luis__> but my old version was 9.10 i think
[00:58] <apparle> luis__: ohhhh..... then check if repos are pointing toward lucid of karmic
[00:58] <apparle> daweed: what is your problem
[00:58] <luis__> apparle: what you mean
[00:59] <andre_> apparle: an idea how i can get amarok playing aac files?
[00:59] <daweed> apparle: tnks i will install windows on other partition and want to know how to reinstall grub after that
[00:59] <apparle> luis__: open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and check if the entries have lucid or karmic
[01:00] <daweed> apparle: localgh0st say that i should download ubuntu live cd and whit one of the commands
[01:01] <apparle> daweed: tell me your problem from start.... what happened to your computer
[01:02] <daweed> apparle: but i dont know if ubuntu live cd is the same cd of the installationn or other diferent i guess that is only the option where says i want to test ubuntu in my sistem with out making any changes to my sistem, is that the live cd that localgh0st means?
[01:03] <luis__> apparle: how i open the file
[01:03] <luis__> i type it in the terminal=
[01:03] <apparle> daweed: basically live CD is same as desktop CD .....
[01:04] <apparle> daweed: and usually most people have the live CD
[01:04] <daweed> apparle:  dolphyn dones not view one of the partitions where is the osXP and i want to reinstall windows cuz i have a unatended edition and i canot chose to repair
[01:05] <apparle> unatended?
[01:05] <luis__> apparle: how i open the file? what command I must type in the terminal?
[01:05] <daweed> apparle: ok tnks then when windows is installed how can i install grub with out install all the sistem?
[01:05] <apparle> daweed: try http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ simplest
[01:06] <apparle> luis__: goto that location and open with kate
[01:06] <daweed> tnks apparle
[01:06] <daweed> apparle:  is it easy?
[01:07] <luis__> apparle: top line says this: # deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted
[01:07] <apparle> daweed: for me it is.... just boot.... select repair and it does it
[01:07] <apparle> luis__: pastebin whole thing
[01:07] <apparle> !paste | luis__
[01:08] <luis__> apparle: done: http://paste.ubuntu.com/427302/
[01:08] <apparle> andre_: see if you have this install libavcodec-extra-52
[01:09] <apparle> luis__: seems correct to me
[01:09] <luis__> well then lets do omething
[01:09] <luis__> what was the command to reinstall 10.04 in my laptop
[01:09] <apparle> luis__: pastebin error
[01:09] <andre_> apparle: it's installed
[01:09] <luis__> apparle: ?
[01:10] <andre_> the extra-version, not the standard version
[01:10] <apparle> andre_: ya the particular package "libavcodec-extra-52"
[01:10] <Walzmyn> luis__: try sudo apt-get install and see if it gives you any errors
[01:10] <andre_> apparle: it's installed, ya
[01:11] <apparle> andre_: and libfaad2?
[01:11] <andre_> apparle: installed, too
[01:11] <luis__> apparle: I lold
[01:11] <luis__> apparle: I typed
[01:11] <luis__> apparle: sudo apt-get -f install and it says 768 packages are broken lololol
[01:12] <apparle> andre_: funny libfaad is the aac decoder
[01:12] <apparle> luis__: you did "sudo apt-get update"? and then did "sudo apt-get -f install" right?
[01:12] <andre_> if i click on a aac file, it loads a couple of seconds but nothing else happens
[01:13] <apparle> andre_: don't know
[01:13] <luis__> apparle: Update says no updates were avaliable
[01:13] <apparle> luis__: update can't say that..... update is supposed to update the lists..... check if you are doing upgrade or update
[01:14] <apparle> anyways I got to go
[01:14] <luis__> oh oh oh
[01:14] <apparle> bye guys
[01:14] <daweed> what is the best software for kubuntu to burn, i want to burn videos of youtube that i've download in mp4
[01:14] <apparle> !multimedia | andre_
[01:14] <daweed> apparle:
[01:14] <apparle> daweed: k3b
[01:14] <daweed> are you leaving?
[01:14] <apparle> luis__: I think "sudo apt-get -f install " would help

[01:20] <localgh0st> Okay update to my sound problem. Amarok works, but the sound tests in settings produce crackling while sound in chrome and prism is completely silent... Anyone have thoughts on this? --- http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=8a41155c45dba56cb9af65481c474a927cc4206b
[01:21] <oxymoron> If both unstable and stable versions on nvidia-current, xorg-core, qt and so on is unstable, what are you going to do? :D
[01:21] <oxymoron> localgh0st: Seems like PulseAudio problem or maybe xine I dont know.
[01:21] <localgh0st> Thanks, any possible fix?
[01:22] <zus> when firefox downloads something and i chose "open containing folder" it says it needs an aplication (10-4) what and how do i do to get it to open up my download folder....or where ever a download goes to open
[01:22] <localgh0st> Wow and now sound works with settings just fine?
[01:22] <localgh0st> What the heck is going on.
[01:23] <localgh0st> Now I guess it's just flash that's silent... Which is probably unrelated to the other problem...
[01:24] <daweed> i canot write cds on k3d i have a dvd balnk and doesnot apear as valid the option of burning
[01:25] <andre_> hm, doesn't work, even with the extra packages
[01:25] <andre_> someone else an idea?
[01:27] <Walzmyn> luis_: you get your issues solved?
[01:28] <luis_> I think I will have to reinstall Kubuntu from a live CD again lossing all my data... for some reason the actu to 10.04 is broken and fucked my OS. At the start of the boot, before user and password, something related to an kernel error is displayed and after login some packages are broken and there is not application panel, just the pic of the desktop, is there some way to install again the OS without losing data?
[01:28] <doleyb> daweed: did you go to k3b settings, programs, and see that it all looks good?
[01:28] <luis_> sorry for the word, but I copy pasted lol
[01:28] <luis_> no Walzmyn
[01:29] <doleyb> luis_: You don't need to erase data to install, but you can (and should) copy off your files right now before installing anything mroe.
[01:30] <daweed> ok im trying diferent disks when i insert the disk on kubuntu say that i have inserted a optical disk but in the k3b keep the option of  pplease insert an empty or appendable dvd or blu ray medium
[01:30] <Walzmyn> luis_: what's an actu?
[01:30] <daweed> doleyb: ok im trying diferent disks when i insert the disk on kubuntu say that i have inserted a optical disk but in the k3b keep the option of  pplease insert an empty or appendable dvd or blu ray medium
[01:31] <Walzmyn> daweed: are you using a CD or a DVD?
[01:31] <daweed> Walzmyn: im using dvds, and the disk are good
[01:32] <luis_> Walzmyn: Actualization :)
[01:32] <Walzmyn> daweed: don't know then. K3B threw me off by automaticly kicking up to DVDs when I stuck in too many files
[01:33] <Walzmyn> luis_: ok, I'm not following that. Did you get apt to get your system comptetly upgraded and error free?
[01:33] <luis_> no
[01:33] <luis_> Walzmyn: everything is wrong
[01:34] <luis_> some kernel warning is displayed before login
[01:34] <luis_> and now there is no app bar and only the desktop picture is shown
[01:35] <Walzmyn> luis_: have you tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[01:35] <daweed> Walzmyn: im making a test disk and is only 2.1gb
[01:35] <luis_> Walzmyn: http://pastebin.com/YB0vLJsr
[01:35] <daweed> ive try 2 diferent brands of dvds
[01:35] <daweed> Walzmyn: ive try 2 diferent brands of dvds
[01:35] <Walzmyn> daweed: don't ask me. I've never for a DVD to burn on my system. I think it's hardware over here.
[01:41] <Walzmyn> luis_: try doing dist-upgrade instead of just upgrade
[01:43] <zus> when firefox downloads something and i chose "open containing folder" it says it needs an aplication (10-4) what and how do i do to get it to open up my download folder....or where ever a download goes to open
[01:44] <Walzmyn> zus they promised us that FF would be better intergated this go around and that wouldn't be a problem, but it still is
[01:46] <zus> Walzmyn,  what happened to me was that some how fire fox was somehow using yahoo as default search engine and NOTHING i did fixed it but i removed it and deleted it  alsta la bye bye--- reinstalled it and  im good...except for opening containing folders. i have to go there on my own
[01:47] <Walzmyn> zus did it work before? Because I've NEVER got that to work right
[01:49] <zus> Walzmyn, for me before the release i was fine then on release day i was good as well and i shut down rebooted turned off the pc comeletely not just restart.. then i was on yahoo with FF.... it took removing it for me to  retain yahoo.
[01:49] <zus> Walzmyn,  excuse me google
[01:49] <Josimba> this may not be helpful but google chrome has these settings easily found in its preferences
[01:50] <Josimba> i don't use FF in Kubuntu
[01:50] <Walzmyn> zus huh. I've always complained about that not working.
[01:52] <zus> Walzmyn,  i am not sure how either. but firefox is working for me as it has except for "open containing folder"
[01:54] <zus> Josimba,  i need FF for the read it later bookmark add on. if chromium's bookmarklet worked when not connected to an Internet connection  as good i'd switch
[02:07] <daweed> hello
[02:09] <daweed> did any one know how can i view the pics of others on kopete in my chat window
[02:10] <daweed> or what is the best software for kubuntu to use like msn messenger live with plus
[02:11] <localgh0st> Mah flash gotz no sounds... I've tried the usual tricks. It was working fine till Lucid... Anyone have any thoughts?
[02:12] <localgh0st> By the usual tricks I mean trying the plugin straight from adobe as well as reinstalling the one in the repos
[02:17] <satch5150> hi all, when I install kubuntu lucid, in vbox 3.1.6 it seems to go well.  The first time I did it and restarted it, kubuntu did not boot up at all.  Second time, it botted up a couple of times, then the last time I shut it down it hung after killining init, so I powered it off from vbox's menu, and it will not boot up any longer
[02:17] <satch5150> it hangs on the kubuntu splash screen
[02:18] <daweed> did any one know how can i view the pics of others on kopete in my chat window
[02:22] <hellhound_> I upgraded to kubuntu 10.04 and I decided I wanted to pair my bluetooth headset. I did this before with 9.04. But this time it does not seem to be working.  Since the tool is differant can anyone provide any assistance.  I use the Blueooth Device Wizard and follow the steps. It finds the headset but will not pair with it.
[02:37] <ep> Fairly new board with alc888 audio.  Fresh install 10.04 amd64, wtf sound works but does not use pulse audio (uses jack)..  Thing is PA worked nicely on this same box under 9.10 32 bit.  Any ideas why I'd lose it and how I might get it back?  It worked better than Jack.
[02:37] <satch5150> how do I make kubuntu boot up in non-graphical or recovery mode ?
[02:43] <jasonmchristos> i made a generic user for install and setup after i make the actual users on the box that will be used how do i lock out the initial user account?
[02:43] <daweed> hello
[02:44] <daweed> did anyone know what is the diferenfe between the disk of ubuntu that say alternate to the other?
[02:44] <jschall> having more than one bouncy ball plasmoid makes them freak out. they're all buggy.
[02:45] <Tm_T> daweed: alternate cd doesn't have live session, nor "graphical" installer
[02:45] <jschall> also they don't work to well with locked widgets =P
[02:45] <jasonmchristos> daweed: the alternate is a text installer for weaker computers
[02:45] <Tm_T> jasonmchristos: not only that
[02:45] <jschall> and they get stuck in corners.
[02:46] <daweed> Tm_T: jasonmchristos tnks
[02:46] <Tm_T> also alternate installer has some options not available in livecd
[02:46] <jasonmchristos> it also lets you manipulate the installation more
[02:46] <Tm_T> jasonmchristos: that
[02:46] <jasonmchristos> usually for the case of a weaker computer
[02:47] <jasonmchristos> older alternates had the lvm option so that you can encrypt the hd but i understand the newer live CD have this option also now
[02:47] <jasonmchristos> how do i lock a user account?
[02:48] <localgh0st> Mah flash gotz no sounds... I've tried the usual tricks. It was working fine till Lucid... Anyone have any thoughts?
[02:48] <maco> jasonmchristos: "passwd -l username" locks an account
[02:48] <jasonmchristos> thank you
[02:56] <daweed> i have a computer with vista and then i install xp and the vista isnot in the boot menu if i install grub will giveme a menu with the 2 os?
[02:57] <Ertain> Hello everyone.  I just updated to Lynx and I've found that, while Lucid was suppose to speed up boot times, mine has become shorter.  Also I have to manually shut down my machine because it hangs when it tries to shutdown.
[02:59] <Walzmyn> daweed: you had a dual boot windows/linux and you changed versions of windows?
[03:00] <daweed> Walzmyn:  i have not dual boot now only boot xp
[03:00] <daweed> Walzmyn: but the vista still there
[03:00] <Ertain> Whoops, I mean my boot times have become longer.
[03:00] <Walzmyn> daweed: so, you're dual booting vista and xp?

[03:43] <Saintly> avihay: what type of computer?
[03:44] <zus> bazhang,  i need it to play on a windows xp machine. im doing  a conversion for a friend but i cant figure this out
[03:45] <avihay> It's an MSI laptop, with a dualcore 2ghz cpu and 2gb of ram
[03:45] <zus> bazhang,  i dont see mpeg. in the lists
[03:45] <bazhang> zus, vlc can play flv
[03:45] <Saintly> avihay: and it takes 45 seconds? my netbook, can even do it in 16.
[03:46] <bazhang> zus, unless you need for itunes/ipod or the like
[03:46] <avihay> It's an upgraded system. maybe it's time for a fresh install? ....
[03:46] <Saintly> brb, gonna time miy netbook.
[03:46] <avihay> :->
[03:47] <Saintly> avihay: definently, fresh install is better, awlays.
[03:47] <zus> bazhang, he uses wmp..
[03:49] <zus> bazhang, is there a comand line to at least convert flv to mpeg? i dont want  avi for fear it wont be video at this point but only audio.
[03:50] <Saintly> back. thd be 14.98 secs, for the netbook.
[03:50] <Saintly> fresh install.
[03:51] <Saintly> im on it now lol. not quite as fun as my HPs touchscreen, but hey what works works.
[03:51] <Saintly> and my netbook has mobile broadband :D
[03:51] <bazhang> zus, sorry never used winff for that, handbrake is what I use in these cases; not sure about wmp as never have used it
[03:53] <zus> bazhang,  windows media player...i know that plays mpeg. and avi's  its cool thanks
[03:55] <rats> but its windows

[03:55] <Saintly> avihay: nope.
[03:56] <Saintly> hmm
[03:56] <Saintly> !virtualizers
[03:56] <Saintly> :O
[03:56] <avihay> is anyone else bothered about the notification system opening a window to show that you have a notifications instead of using it's tray icon?
[03:57] <Saintly> !virtualbox
[03:57]  * Saintly cackles as he retreats to his XGAME project, with virtual box in his hands.
[04:01] <TraceRoute> anyone using 10.04 with nvidia?
[04:04] <doleyb_> TraceRoute: i am using that.
[04:05] <doleyb_> zus: you can convert into avi and mkv with mencoder and mkvmerge
[04:07] <TraceRoute_> doleyb_ did you get that?
[04:12] <doleyb_> TraceRoute_: get what? i have 10.4 and nvidia's graphic drivers running now.
[04:13] <TraceRoute_> plymouth messed up when you restart?
[04:14] <doleyb_> TraceRoute_: i don't know what plymoth is
[04:15] <TraceRoute_> usplash
[04:15] <doleyb_> i guess i don't pay much attention to splash screens before kdm
[04:51] <silas_> Boa noite. Alguém aí ja instalou o Ub1004 num notbook?
[04:56] <Luija1006> I got one doubt about lucid 10.04: The resolution is not the correct, but the system of getting the right nvidia resolution has now changed, before u had to enter hardware drivers and download the driver, now the windows simply says the laptop is not using private drivers, how I can download the nvidia driver in 10.04?
[05:05] <Pavel_S> HI, I need you help. Can somebody help me
[05:05] <Pavel_S> ?
[05:05] <frogonwheels> !ask
[05:06] <Pavel_S> My touchpad settings don't active. I can't change them. Is it a bug?
[05:07] <frogonwheels> Pavel_S: More info. what do you mean by "don't active"?  where do you expect to change them? what have you tried?
[05:08] <Pavel_S> System settings -> Keyboard -> Touchpad
[05:09] <Pavel_S> But i can't change nothing.
[05:09] <frogonwheels> Pavel_S: ah. you possibly need to switch to admin.
[05:09] <frogonwheels> hmm.. either that or it just doesn't detect your touchpad.
[05:10] <Pavel_S> What does it mean? "doesn't detect"
[05:10] <frogonwheels> Pavel_S: yeah - that's what it will be.  It can't find anything that it can identify as a touchpad
[05:10] <Pavel_S> My touchpad works fine.
[05:11] <frogonwheels> hm.. possibly it thinks it's a mouse? dunno.
[05:11] <frogonwheels> Pavel_S:  in 'informations' does it say anything?
[05:12] <Pavel_S> I don't understand you. Where i need to check something
[05:13] <frogonwheels> In "Touchpad Settings"  there's a group-box labeled (badly) 'informations'
[05:13] <Pavel_S> ok, i have found.
[05:13] <frogonwheels> Mine has  Touchpad Name: Device not found  -given I don't have a touchpad.
[05:14] <Pavel_S> I have same.
[05:14] <Pavel_S> Can i fix this or not?
[05:14] <frogonwheels> Pavel_S: your touchpad is probably identifying as a mouse then.
[05:15] <frogonwheels> don't know.  Google your specific touchpad.
[05:15] <frogonwheels> Pavel_S: if it's a usb device, try   lsusb   to find the device name if you need to
[05:16] <Pavel_S> is it like ISA bridge: Intel Corporation ICH9M LPC Interface Controller (rev 03)
[05:18] <Pavel_S> how can collect information about my input devices
[05:23] <dolomite> Pavel_S: does lspci give you any relevant information?
[05:24] <Pavel_S> i don't think so.
[05:24] <Pavel_S> Ok, i will try to fix this problem, myself.
[05:25] <Pavel_S> I need detect touchpad in my system and only then i will think about configuration.
[05:25] <Pavel_S> Thanks a lot for you help.
[05:25] <dolomite> Pavel_S: good approach; I'm not familiar with laptops, sorry!
[05:25] <Pavel_S> now i know what i need to do.
[05:25] <Pavel_S> Best
[05:37]  * dolomite is enjoying that it feels like friday today
[05:40] <CartoonCat> yay, upgraded to lucid and now my wireless is totaly broken (one AP deauthenticates, the other times out). Atheros card, using ath5k drivers
[05:41] <dolomite> ifconfig -a
[05:42] <CartoonCat> >.<
[05:42] <CartoonCat> Yes the card is listed, the module is loaded, etc
[05:42] <dolomite> why not add blah blah blah too
[05:43] <CartoonCat> the interface is up, etc, iwconfig wlan0 essid Wireless and  dmesg shows [  226.672627] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:18:0a:01:7f:21 by local choice (reason=3)
[05:45] <dolomite> bug report says reinstalling network manager helped
[05:45] <dolomite> tried it yet?
[05:46] <CartoonCat> Yes, as wel las trying to switch to kde network manager, no change
[05:47] <CartoonCat> this seams to be a issue with the version of the ath5k that was picked
[05:48] <CartoonCat> I can drop to gentoo or win7, works fine, can swap hd's and go to 9. and it works fine =\
[05:48] <dolomite> and your version is current right?
[05:48] <lucitu> CartoonCat: try the  plasma-widget-networkmanagement instead
[05:49] <CartoonCat> its the one lucid ships with, yes
[05:49] <dolomite> CartoonCat: modprobe -r athk and modprobe athk
[05:49] <dolomite> worth a shot
[05:49] <CartoonCat> lucitu: i will switch back, but the issue is not the manager, its ath5k
[05:49] <CartoonCat> dolomite: I have done that, i get the same dmesg output
[05:50] <dolomite> k
[05:52] <CartoonCat> I need to switch to the same ath5k that 9.04/9.10 use's, or possibly move to the latest ath5k. being a long time gentoo nut has corrupted me on these binary distro's heh
[05:54] <dolomite> yeah, there are way too many issues with these wireless modules. launchpad's flooded
[05:56] <CartoonCat> they do seam to have picked a poor version of ath5k this go. I know the one i was using with 9.04 worked. I know the latest from ~3 months ago worked (in gentoo, still the one im using there)
[05:57] <dolomite> yes, some things are better left untouched
[05:57] <CartoonCat> now, to figure out how to do that on here. it doesnt seam to be what im used to "pull tar.gz, configure, make, install"
[05:58] <moetunes> !checkinstall
[06:00] <dolomite> I did not know about that wrapper; handy!
[06:00] <CartoonCat> same here, I will try it.
[06:01] <CartoonCat> if it goes boom, not much will be lost other then time and hair
[06:01] <moetunes> it's the only sane way to uninstall something you built...
[06:04] <CartoonCat> >.<
[06:04] <CartoonCat> ok, so no source is installed by default
[06:05] <Teknical> so my flash no longer works, just a grey box .. can anyone clue me in on what package i should reinstall?
[06:05] <Teknical> this is on firefox, with kubuntu 10.04^
[06:06] <Teknical> worked before, nothing now
[06:08] <CartoonCat> Teknical: when you say flash, do you mean a usb stick?
[06:08] <Teknical> adobe flash content on webpages in firefoxd
[06:08] <Teknical> firefox*
[06:08] <CartoonCat> I had to reinstall the plugin after the upgrade to 10 from 9
[06:09] <Teknical> can you direct me on the best way to do that?
[06:10] <CartoonCat> i have no idea if its the best, but i selected the nonfree flashplugin from aptitude
[06:11] <dolomite> Teknical: in the address bar of firefox type about:plugins
[06:11] <Teknical> yes in my plugins area it shows shockwave flash
[06:11] <dolomite> ok
[06:12] <dolomite> Teknical: I'd recommend finding the package name of your flash plugin
[06:12] <Teknical> thats what i was hoping to get from here
[06:12] <Teknical> :)
[06:12] <dolomite> and from terminal type sudo apt-get remove --purge <package name>
[06:12] <dolomite> try to install the .deb file from adobe's site
[06:12] <Teknical> it seems the restricted extras was the last thing i did, that may have caused this
[06:13] <Teknical> the deb from adobes site is for x86 .. i cant find the x64
[06:13] <dolomite> oh ok
[06:13] <dolomite> then just reinstall the one you have and check it.
[06:14] <dolomite> 64 flash is giving people headaches
[06:14] <Teknical> im  not sure what to look for really .. ive reinstalled what ive found
[06:15] <dolomite> and did it work?
[06:15] <Teknical> nope
[06:15] <dolomite> in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins delete the flashplayer.so file
[06:16] <dolomite> and this time, please purge the flashplugin package
[06:16] <Teknical> hold that thought .. let me reboot real quick for good measure
[06:16] <doleyb_> Teknical: adobe does have a separate download for 64 linux flash
[06:16] <dolomite> (if you didn't last time)
[06:16] <Teknical> ahh?
[06:16] <Teknical> haha im not even sure what to purge, i was asking what packages are what
[06:16] <doleyb_> Teknical: after you might try http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html
[06:17] <Teknical> what is really annoying is my flash has worked fine since 10.04 release
[06:17] <Teknical> today i reboot and this
[06:17] <dolomite> Teknical: if you do a search in your package manager for flash, is anything installed?
[06:18] <Teknical> yes .. flashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-installer .. and
[06:18] <Teknical> konqueror-nsplugins
[06:18] <dolomite> leave konqueror
[06:18] <dolomite> Teknical: from command line
[06:18] <Teknical> and kubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:18] <Teknical> thats it
[06:19] <dolomite> Teknical: sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer
[06:19] <Teknical> removing..
[06:19] <Teknical> done
[06:19] <dolomite> and navigate to your /usr/lib/firefox/plugins directory and find and delete that "flashplayer.so" type file
[06:20] <Teknical> tek@tek-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox/plugins$ rm flashplayer.so
[06:20] <Teknical> rm: cannot remove `flashplayer.so': No such file or directory
[06:20] <dolomite> Teknical: it's not called flashplayer.so
[06:20] <dolomite> Teknical: but it's "something to do with flash".so
[06:20] <dolomite> Teknical: i don't know what it is on your system
[06:20] <Teknical> tek@tek-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox/plugins$ dir
[06:20] <Teknical> tek@tek-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox/plugins$
[06:21] <dolomite> ok so it's not in there. good
[06:21] <dolomite> now download that x64 flash
[06:22] <Teknical> have it .. will have to compile it seems, keep in mind im a newb
[06:22] <Teknical> i need build-essentials correct?
[06:23] <Teknical> cant believe i have to do this for flash that worked fine, sigh
[06:24] <dolomite> hold up; I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't involve compiling
[06:25] <Teknical> my laptop has gone through nearly an identical setup and does not have this problem
[06:25] <dolomite> Teknical: things happen, can we try some things?
[06:25] <Teknical> ive tried everything thus far :)
[06:26] <dolomite> ok, we'll try the nswrapper route:
[06:26] <dolomite> first, is your firefox directory /usr/lib/firefox or /usr/lib/firefox-3.0?
[06:28] <Teknical> firefox-addons
[06:28] <Teknical> firefox-addons
[06:28] <Teknical> oops
[06:28] <Teknical> i have..
[06:28] <Teknical> that addons folder
[06:28] <Teknical> a firefox-3.6.3 folder
[06:28] <Teknical> and a firefox folder
[06:29] <Teknical> this install was done with the preloaded firefox installer
[06:29] <Teknical> moving to pm
[07:50] <progesterone> Question: how can I make Yakuake to be able to use left/right/up/down key in insert mode?
[07:51] <ForgeAus> progesterone theres is a #Yakuake channel but I'm not sure how responsive people there are
[07:51] <progesterone> ForgeAus Oh ... Thanks dude
[07:54] <ForgeAus> to be honest I rarely use Yakuake, I tend to more often use Konsole, but I kinda do like it...
[07:55] <ForgeAus> its nice, responsive and tabbed...
[07:55] <progesterone> ForgeAus I've fallen in love with sliding in and out of Yakuake. :P
[07:55] <ForgeAus> hehe yeah thats cute too :)
[08:01] <coreberserker> o.o
[08:01] <coreberserker> Hello?

[08:02] <coreberserker> Hi there!
[08:02] <coreberserker> I seem to be having a problem
[08:02] <maco> continue...
[08:03] <coreberserker> I can't use any of the setting that use more then two fingers in the touch pad settings...
[08:03] <coreberserker> Is it my touch pad?
[08:03] <coreberserker> I mean more then one finger
[08:03] <coreberserker> sorry.
[08:08] <coreberserker> Should I retype the question?
[08:09] <maco> i saw
[08:09] <maco> do you know if its a synaptics touchpad?
[08:09] <coreberserker> Umm no sorry I don't..
[08:11] <maco> if you type "grep Synaptics /var/log/Xorg.0.log" does it spit stuff out at you?
[08:11] <crashev> !java
[08:11] <crashev> !partner
[08:11] <coreberserker> yes
[08:12] <coreberserker> under alot of it it says synaptics touchpad
[08:13] <maco> hmm two-finger scrolling should work then i think...
[08:13] <maco> it does on mine
[08:14] <coreberserker> it says mine is a SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
[08:14] <maco> yep same for me
[08:14] <maco> you hit the "apply" button right?
[08:15] <coreberserker> Yup
[08:15] <GilU> Hello :)
[08:15] <maco> i'd suggest filing a bug then
[08:16] <maco> on xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[08:16] <coreberserker> Alright
[08:17] <GilU> Did onyone have a problem with refresh rate? I've installed kubuntu  yesterday, changed the RR to 85Hz without any problem, but today after restart i have 60Hz again. How can i force kubuntu to remember my settings?
[08:18] <maco> GilU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution see section 4
[08:18] <GilU> maco: tank
[08:18] <GilU> s
[08:18] <coreberserker> maco do you think it has something to do with my running amd64?
[08:18] <maco> coreberserker: no, im on amd64 too
[08:19] <coreberserker> crap xD
[08:19] <coreberserker> Okay
[08:19] <maco> likely just something different about your particular touchpad versus mine
[08:19] <coreberserker> I'll file the bug report
[08:19] <maco> a different model number
[08:19] <coreberserker> Ahh Okay =]
[08:20] <coreberserker> Well thank you maco

[08:57] <reisi> hey what was the hotkey to suspend/resume compositing?
[08:59] <zoggy> hey all, for some reason, my meta keys have gone awry despite a fresh install of kde. if i go into menu editor and set a shortcut key (eg meta - d for dolphin), it shows as being meta-d, but when i try the key combination nothing pops up. i've tried this with different apps. it almost seems like the meta key is not working properly. it's not the keyboard either. thanks so much
[09:00] <zoggy> reisi: i think it's shift+alt+f12
[09:00] <reisi> zoggy: hmmm yes it is, thanks
[09:01] <reisi> zoggy: i think i remember that there was a separate service for listening to hotkey presses
[09:02] <zoggy> reisi: thanks, letm me look around for that. i used to just do it within kmenu, is that toast?
[09:02] <reisi> zoggy: goto system settings -> advanced (tab) -> service manager
[09:02] <reisi> zoggy: i've got KHotKeys running (one of the first in the startable-stoppable, 2nd pane)
[09:04] <zoggy> reisi: mine says khotkeys: running: khotkeys daemon. no daemon, no hotkeys
[09:04] <zoggy> reisi: weird, it says running but also says no hotkeys
[09:04] <reisi> zoggy: hmm.. i'd try to stop it and start it
[09:05] <zoggy> reisi: just tried that, but no joy
[09:05] <zoggy> reisi: thanks for pointing me in the general direction, i'll google around a bit. wasn't sure where to begin
[09:05] <N|ghtWo|f> hi i just update kubuntu to 10
[09:05] <reisi> zoggy: oki, then you need to find logs, it'll most likely spill something there
[09:06] <N|ghtWo|f> but now i cant install kdevelop
[09:06] <N|ghtWo|f> is it incompatible ^?
[09:06] <zoggy> N|ghtWo|f: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kdevelop-4
[09:07] <zoggy> N|ghtWo|f: i had the same problem. was so glad to see it's back. i absolutely love kdevelop!
[09:07] <N|ghtWo|f> me too
[09:08] <zoggy> N|ghtWo|f: especially with it's php support via kdevelop-php-docs and kdevelop-php
[09:08] <zoggy> reisi: thanks for that, i'll look for the logs
[09:21] <N|ghtWo|f> zoggy: kdevelop is back! and without some annoying bugs :D
[09:22] <zoggy> N|ghtWo|f: yeah baby! well done to the developers. i'm so proud of my new lucid installation :)
[09:23] <tuxiko_> Hi everybody, Ive got an issue with amarok since 10.04
[09:23] <tuxiko_> it's referenced here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/572432?comments=all

[09:44] <zoggy> reisi: thanks for the help. for anyone who might have the same problem, here is the solution: go into system settings / input actions, then tick kmenuedit. that easy. woohoo, i now have shortcuts back!
[09:45] <Kolia> anyone experience usb key not being detected in lucid ?
[09:57] <reisi> zoggy: aah of course, well thats a bit too easy mistake to make
[09:57] <reisi> zoggy: just like when your network connection is down, you should start by checking if you have an ethernet cable connected (from the both ends) :D
[09:58] <reisi> zoggy: not by debugging your ethernet driver
[09:59] <SuN__> is there a way to Recover kUbuntu Live CD with my deleted folder / var / how to fix please help
[09:59] <SuN__> help !
[09:59] <reisi> SuN__: you deleted your /var?
[10:00] <SuN__> reisi,  yes :(((( supid
[10:00] <reisi> SuN__: i'd backup my important files (from my $HOME) and proceed with complete re-installation; /var hosts one of key databases in a debian based system
[10:02] <SuN__> reisi, is there a way? live cd ?
[10:08] <zoggy> reisi: haha that's brilliant, i wonder why it was off. i hadn't turned it off. anyway, i'm ready to develop now! woohoo!

[12:07] <jussi> How does one mount an .img file?
[12:20] <ThE_WoRm> Hello, I have some issues with installing packages or static linking a program that I wrote on a kubuntu os in c++ using gtkmm, I'm wondering if this is the place to ask about it or should I go somewhere else
[12:55] <InvaderZim> Hi. Why is my 10.04 boot splash image horribly low resolution and low color? 9.10 was much nicer. Anyone can explain?
[13:03] <fbxxkl> Anyone here have experience with k3b?  I am trying to back up a DVD I hit rip dvd then I am not sure where to go from there
[13:03] <fbxxkl> <--- new to linux
[13:04] <putt1ck> backup for what purpose?
[13:04] <putt1ck> rip recodes content
[13:04] <fbxxkl> well
[13:04] <putt1ck> you might want image
[13:04] <fbxxkl> Its an educational dvd I purchased and I will be traveling a lot with it to and from school
[13:04] <fbxxkl> to teach with
[13:05] <fbxxkl> so if it gets scratched up I don't want to lose the money i spent
[13:05] <putt1ck> image better
[13:05] <fbxxkl> Someone suggested I use k3b to you also recommend that or should I do it another way
[13:05] <putt1ck> k3b
[13:05] <fbxxkl> K
[13:05] <fbxxkl> I will continue to play
[13:05] <putt1ck> Tools/copy medium
[13:06] <putt1ck> tick "only create image"
[13:06] <putt1ck> will make iso image file on computer of dvd
[13:06] <fbxxkl> awewsome
[13:06] <fbxxkl> awesome* thanks for your help
[13:06] <putt1ck> can then use that to make a new dvd  with tools/burn image
[13:06] <putt1ck> or
[13:06] <putt1ck> with the magic of Linux
[13:07] <putt1ck> use the content of the image directly
[13:07] <fbxxkl> sweet
[13:07] <fbxxkl> if I wanted to use it right off the HDD, it would be just mounting the iso correct?
[13:07] <putt1ck> exactly
[13:08] <pingu> hey
[13:08] <pingu> I am trying to use the usb-creator
[13:08] <sosooo> hello
[13:08] <pingu> I choose the ISO but it dosn't appear after clicking open
[13:09] <sosooo> I have notobook with 2.4 cpu vga 32MB and 750 MB ram
[13:09] <fbxxkl> putt1ck: Thanks for your help.
[13:09] <putt1ck> np :)
[13:09] <sosooo> does kubuntu run well on my com?
[13:09] <putt1ck> sosoo: sure
[13:09] <pingu> it is the new 10.4 on a netbook
[13:09] <putt1ck> more RAM would be better if you use Firefox a lot
[13:10] <sosooo> and is it easy to add and update my applacation?
[13:10] <putt1ck> with network connection, yes
[13:10] <sosooo> great
[13:10] <sosooo> yes I wanna use internet a lot
[13:10] <sosooo> is there good softwaer for chatimg?
[13:11] <sosooo> also can support voice?
[13:11] <putt1ck> many options
[13:11] <fbxxkl> I am a big fan of pidgeon but I am not sure how well it handles audio comm
[13:12] <fbxxkl> pidgin*
[13:12] <sosooo> I use pidgin in windows
[13:12] <sosooo> don't have vioce
[13:12] <sosooo> :(
[13:12] <fbxxkl> ah
[13:12] <fbxxkl> http://alternativeto.net/  I like to check this site out a lot when I am looking for software
[13:12] <putt1ck> kopete
[13:12] <sosooo> do tyou think I can have desktop effect  with 32 mb VGA?
[13:13] <fbxxkl> It has a good compilation of comparisons
[13:13] <putt1ck> sosoo: more depends on which graphics chipset it is
[13:13] <putt1ck> but sure 32MB video RAM should be enough
[13:14] <sosooo> I mean like cub desktops
[13:14] <sosooo> and thing like this
[13:14] <putt1ck> yes
[13:14] <sosooo> :D
[13:14] <sosooo> tnxxxxxxxxxxxx
[13:14] <putt1ck> depends on chipset
[13:14] <sosooo> :S
[13:14] <putt1ck> ati, intel, nvidida
[13:16] <sosooo> it is ati radeon 340
[13:17] <putt1ck> should be ok
[13:17] <sosooo> I used suse befor, it is more easy to suse or kubuntu?
[13:17] <putt1ck> same same
[13:18] <fbxxkl> Everyone I talk to says its amatter of preference
[13:18] <putt1ck> different package management architecture
[13:18] <putt1ck> sometimes Ubuntu debian dependency can mean very old versions of software on repositories
[13:18] <fbxxkl> ie. thunderbird
[13:18] <sosooo> mmmmmmm
[13:19] <fbxxkl> when i installed through ubuntu it says 2.0 but the website is up to 3.0 so i had to manual download and whatnot
[13:19] <sosooo> bilive me it is really hard to chose
[13:19] <sosooo> :P
[13:19] <sosooo> I have to go to class
[13:19] <sosooo> but I hope see you all soon again
[13:20] <sosooo> and I  also use kubuntu
[13:20] <sosooo> ;)
[13:20] <sosooo> and could have kubuntu and could have  new freidn
[13:20] <pingu> how do I make sure I have the right driver for  my video card - running Kubuntu Netbook 10.04
[13:20] <sosooo> frirend
[13:20] <sosooo> seeeeeeeeeya all
[13:20] <sosooo> by
[13:21] <BluesKaj> 'mornin'
[13:21] <putt1ck> pingu: installer will generally choose
[13:21] <putt1ck> can try Hardware Drivers application to see if options available
[13:22] <pingu> It's an Asus 1000HE netbook
[13:22] <pingu> some of the effects are sluggish st times
[13:22] <fbxxkl> Have you tried system > Administration > Hardware drivers?
[13:23] <putt1ck> effects, on a netbook?
[13:23] <putt1ck> a lot to ask
[13:23] <putt1ck> and a waste of battery at best
[13:23] <putt1ck> although very pretty :)
[13:23] <n8w> hey
[13:23] <pingu> right
[13:24] <pingu> but I have an Atom N280 CPU with 2Gig RAM
[13:24] <n8w> how do i measure a cpu utilization for one particular process...ie by usin sar or top
[13:25] <putt1ck> pingu: sure, netbook cpu might be able to handle it, as might video chipset
[13:25] <putt1ck> pingu: but still uses a lot of power just to look good, wasting battery life
[13:25] <pingu> fbxxkl: it says "now proprietary hardware found
[13:25] <fbxxkl> If I am trying to change the permissions on a folder 1. should I use chown or chmod 2. what should the standard settings be ie. 777/770?
[13:26] <fbxxkl> That probably means the drivers are up to date and you don't need dedicated drivers from a vendor
[13:26] <pingu> Gotta show the Linux off - convince my family and co-workers to move
[13:26] <pingu> from Win
[13:26] <pingu> I heard it can be done
[13:26] <pingu> I use the basic stuff
[13:27] <fbxxkl> Well you could run linux and have the use virtual machines for Windows a lot of people I Know from the boston linux community talk about that all the time
[13:27] <pingu> someone told me to check the frame rate
[13:27] <pingu> if it's under 20 fps, I need to change the driver
[13:27] <pingu> it's an onboard intel gpu
[13:28] <fbxxkl> They could be right, you might check with the manufacturers website to see if they have drivers for the system
[13:28] <fbxxkl> those would generally be as up to date as possible
[13:28] <fbxxkl> what make did you say it was?
[13:28]  * starslights great's the chan
[13:30] <pingu> ?
[13:30] <lfain> Hi! Does anybody can tell me how it is possible to change the monitor contrast by using KDE?
[13:30] <pingu> how do I check my frame rate?
[13:30] <ocs>  hi. I can't hear audio. my sound card is detected and alsamixer is ok, what I could do?
[13:31] <putt1ck> pingu: they probably mean glxgears
[13:31] <pingu> ocs: I had the same prob. try finding the "speaker" channel and pump up the volume for it
[13:32] <ocs> pingu: already donw
[13:32] <ocs> pingu: already done
[13:32] <putt1ck> ocs:laptop?
[13:32] <ocs> putt1ck: pc
[13:32] <putt1ck> external speakers/headphones?
[13:33] <lfain> ocs: did you try non-KDE application (e.g., Audacious)?
[13:33] <ocs> lfain: yes
[13:33] <ocs> putt1ck: yes
[13:37] <putt1ck> ocs: what backend does system settings/multimedia say you using for output?
[13:37] <pingu> ocs: check the capture device
[13:38] <putt1ck> ocs: and what happens when you press test in multimedia?
[13:38] <pingu> ocs: is this a fresh install? maybe you are missing a codec?
[13:39] <pingu> ocs: try playing a wave file
[13:39] <ocs> pingu: I can't hear a wav file
[13:41] <pingu> ocs: check the capture device
[13:41] <ocs> pingu: I see it
[13:42] <pingu> ocs: what's your speaker setup? stereo speakers connected at the back?
[13:42] <pingu> ocs: when was the last time it worked?
[13:42] <ocs> pingu: it's all ok at the speakers
[13:42] <ocs> (I'm sure of that)
[13:43] <ocs> pingu: it worked with 9.10
[13:43] <pingu> ocs: what backend are you using
[13:44] <ocs> pingu: alsamixer (checked and it's ok)
[13:54] <fbxxkl> is there anyway for k3b to bypass an "encrypted" dvd?  I really don't want to have to buy a 200$ dvd twice
[13:55] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl, install libdvdcss2 and kubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:56] <fbxxkl> BluesKaj: Thanks
[13:57] <dcorbin_work> What starts mysqld-akonadi?  Is that supposed to happen at login-time, or boot time?
[14:21] <fbxxkl> BluesKaj, when I search for libdvdcss2 It brings me to Kubuntu-restricted extras ubuntu and xubuntu all the same but no individual lib for dvdcss2
[14:24] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl, make sure your sources.list or kpackagekit othersources and third party sources are all enabled , except for the cdrom.
[14:28] <fbxxkl> I have them all checked off (I think)
[14:34] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl, alt+f2, type or copy and paste this into the run box , kdesudo kate etc/apt/sources.list . remove the # from any line that begins with with 'deb'
[14:35] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl,correction , kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:35] <fbxxkl> Error starting file no such file or directory
[14:36] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl, see my correction above
[14:36] <fbxxkl> Yup I changed that as well
[14:40] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl, you have a sources.list , make sure you do, kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list ...it exists as a text file and is referred to
[14:41] <BluesKaj> by any package manager you want to use
[14:42] <fbxxkl> BluesKaj, Ok I have checked the file all deb lines have no # next to them
[14:43] <fbxxkl> except for Deb CDrom
[14:43] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl, ok open a terminal and do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
[14:45] <fbxxkl> nice that worked
[14:45] <fbxxkl> let me check k3b
[14:45] <fbxxkl> or will I need a restart
[14:46] <Bucky> Hi. got issues in config kmail. gmail continues to create folders in [GMail]/ but i don't want theme there!
[14:51] <fbxxkl> BluesKaj, Do you think I will need to restart before the software takes effect because I am still having no success with k3b
[15:15] <shadowhywind> hay all, Im trying to set up my computer with a vnc server, however everytime I connect to it, the colors are screwed up, the taskbar is unusable and I have random dots all over the place, any ideas?
[15:16] <BluesKaj> fbxxkl, perhaps , I'm not sure
[15:17] <root____> what is it ?
[16:00] <furio> cavolo
[16:05] <ForgeAus> does Kubuntu have to be EXT4 now? or does EXT3 work ok? (thats the current default right?)
[16:05] <Tm_T> ForgeAus: ext4 is current default IIRC
[16:05] <ForgeAus> (or is there IFS drivers for windows to do EXT4 already?)
[16:05] <Tm_T> ForgeAus: and ext3 works as it has been
[16:10] <justus> hey folks
[16:11] <justus> I have a small nuisance here: whenever I double press ^ only one ^ is generated, is it possible to make a double press generate two of those? ^^
[16:15] <justus> nobody?
[16:15] <DarthFrog> justus: If anyone knew the answer to your question, they'd pipe up.
[16:16] <jimmy51_> :)
[16:16] <justus> I just wonder how that one was screwed up, cause I know for a fact that there are linux distros without this bug
[16:16] <jimmy51_> DarthFrog: i gave up with the video fixes.  i couldn't get anything but vesa or nouvou to work.  i just did a fresh install.
[16:16] <jimmy51_> justus: i'm pretty sure that's not a bug...
[16:17] <justus> jimmy51_: are you sure? Cause I find that pretty much expected behaviour, if I press a button two times it should show two times
[16:17] <DarthFrog> jimmy51_: And did things work after the new install?
[16:18] <jimmy51_> DarthFrog: i'm at the hardware drivers dialog now... about to choose "current version" for kicks
[16:18] <DarthFrog> jimmy51_: Well, at least you learned something new and useful. :-)
[16:18] <jimmy51_> justus: sorry.. i mis-read.
[16:18] <jimmy51_> justus: so... you hold shift and tab the 6 key twice, and it only shows one character?
[16:19] <DarthFrog> I get two ^^.
[16:20] <justus> I'm using a german keyboard, with a separate button for that
[16:20] <DarthFrog> at a wild guess, there's something special about the keymap for that keyboard.
[16:22] <ForgeAus> maybe someone in #kubuntu-de (it is de for german right?) will know??
[16:22] <ForgeAus> !german
[16:22] <justus> well, ok, you could declare that a german problem ^^
[16:22] <justus> allthough not for my lack of language understanding I hope ;)
[16:22] <ForgeAus> well not necessarily "a german problem"
[16:23] <ForgeAus> just because your using a special keymap thats German nothing to do with your language or anything... besides it was just a suggestion... that they might know more about the issue your having thats all...
[16:29] <jimmy51_> DarthFrog: indeed i did.  and.... this fresh install is nice.  i've been running since 7.04 and had a lot of junk.
[16:31] <DarthFrog> jimmy51_: To me, that's the major benefit of having a separate /home partiton: I can do a fresh install (even on a different disk) and still have all my data intact.
[16:31] <DarthFrog> Use the same /home partition with both the old and the new installations.
[16:32] <jimmy51_> DarthFrog: yeah, i'm glad i'm set up that way.  mine's not ideal.... /home is a second partition, and /home/Storage is another drive altogether.
[16:32] <jimmy51_> but... at least my / format didn't get rid of /home
[16:33] <jimmy51_> DarthFrog: wow, the drivers worked.  current version, clicked activate, rebooted, viola!
[16:33] <jimmy51_> DarthFrog: i think my problem was related to having tried the nvidia.com drivers in the past
[16:34] <DarthFrog> jimmy51_: That's what I was thinking.  Cruft was interfering.
[16:35] <DarthFrog> And it's "voila", BTW,  "Viola" is a musical instrument. :-)
[16:35] <DarthFrog> <-- worked hard to be a pedant.  :-)
[16:36] <jimmy51_> DarthFrog: hehe, i debated the spelling but was too lazy to look it up.

[17:21] <N|ghtWo|f> N|ghtWo|f is in !panic mode. Something is wrong with his boot screen
[17:22] <benkay86> What's wrong with your boot screen?
[17:22] <N|ghtWo|f> i think it contains +-16 colors
[17:23] <N|ghtWo|f> instead of a nice gradient
[17:23] <DarthFrog> N|ghtWo|f: Does your system boot up OK?
[17:23] <benkay86> Are you talking about plymouth or a GRUB splash?
[17:23] <N|ghtWo|f> plymounth
[17:24] <benkay86> Bah! Plymouth. If you're system boots at all, consider yourself fortunate.
[17:24] <N|ghtWo|f> it boots ok, but it is a nightmare during 16s
[17:24] <benkay86> Did you change anything recently?
[17:25] <DarthFrog> N|ghtWo|f: Mine does the same.
[17:25] <N|ghtWo|f> upgrade from 9 to 10
[17:25] <shadeslayer> hehe...
[17:26] <DarthFrog> N|ghtWo|f:  Check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468170    Does that describe your issue?
[17:26] <shadeslayer> N|ghtWo|f: do you have nvidia drivers installed?
[17:26] <N|ghtWo|f> shadeslayer: yes, and is working
[17:26] <shadeslayer> N|ghtWo|f: oh my... thats the issue
[17:27] <c3l> hey I need help getting a hp laserjet 1020 printer working. the system finds it, but it will not print anything
[17:27] <shadeslayer> N|ghtWo|f: i would suggest : http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml : instead
[17:27] <benkay86> If it makes you feel better, I don't get a plymouth boot screen at all! Bug #540801
[17:27] <shadeslayer> benkay86: :P
[17:28] <N|ghtWo|f> benkay86: to have this, i also prefer a black screen :p
[17:28] <shadeslayer> i must admit... i like the framebuffer on my TTY's now
[17:29] <benkay86> N|ghtWo|f: You might achieve that by removing "splash" from "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" in /etc/default/grub
[17:30] <benkay86> (And then running "sudo update-grub".)
[17:33] <zus> when buying a new laptop or desktop. how can i transfer information over such as kontact information and os settings from this HDD to a new HDD
[17:34] <benkay86> zus: That sort of stuff is stored in hidden folders (folders beginning with a .) in your home directory.
[17:34] <benkay86> zus: You could copy your entire home directory (i.e. "cp -a /home/zus /media/disk/backup")
[17:35] <zus> benkay86,  so should i unhide them and copy and paste...
[17:35] <benkay86> zus: Yes, that would work too.
[17:35] <buckfast> How can I schedule tasks in Kubuntu?
[17:35] <zus> benkay86,   would it matter if im on a 32 bit machine and  bought a 64 bit machine?
[17:35] <benkay86> zus: Or, for settings from specific apps, just copy the needed files. Like ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail
[17:36] <benkay86> zus: Not for settings, no -- it shouldn't matter.
[17:36] <benkay86> buckfast: crontab -e
[17:37] <zus> benkay86, i think this is a 64bit machine i once had 64bit winxp pro installed on here  but when i went to kubuntu i got the 32 bit. machine im looking at is
[17:37] <benkay86> buckfast: Or look under System Settings -> Autostart if you just want something to run once.
[17:38] <benkay86> zus: If you want to know if you're CPU is capable of doing 64-bit (most modern CPUs are), look up the vendor's specs.
[17:39] <benkay86> grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
[17:39] <buckfast> benkay86: I want it to start and stop at certain time, I think 'autostart' is for starting scripts or program only on system boot or shutdown
[17:39] <zus> benkay86, amd  athlon 64x2 dual core 4000+  2048 ram 320 HdDD (with an hp 120gb hp pocket media drive not included)  its hp pavillion a6112n pc
[17:40] <benkay86> zus: I'm fairly certain Athlon64 supports x86_64. To see if you're running a 64-bit kernel right now, do:
[17:40] <benkay86> uname -a
[17:40] <benkay86> buckfast: I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but have you looked into Cron? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[17:41] <buckfast> benkay86: Thanks. I'll look into it
[17:42] <zus> benkay86,  his machine is newer and much better  he's throwing it  out.. heheh vista is on it and its terrible
[17:42] <N|ghtWo|f> its working :D
[17:42] <benkay86> N|ghtWo|f: Yay!
[17:42] <N|ghtWo|f> sooo cool now
[17:42] <aleboco> does anybody know how to share the internet connection in lucid?
[17:43] <james> afternoon all
[17:43] <zus> benkay86,  so it dont matter if iim using a 32 os on a amd64? or should i install kubuntu 64on the amd64
[17:44] <benkay86> zus: You can install Kubuntu32 on the amd64 if you want, but Kubuntu64 will probably get you better performance. As for migrating your data and settings, no, it shouldn't matter.
[17:44] <benkay86> zus: I mean, it might for poorly designed programs that serialize their data in a type-dependent fashion, but by and large...
[17:45] <BluesKaj> zus, I have 64 bit Lucid on amd 64 and it works fine .
[17:45] <benkay86> aleboco: I'm not familiar with an easy, GUI-centric was of doing it, but you could probably get what you want using some combination of bridge-utils and ufw.
[17:45] <zus> benkay86,  cool, beats having to set up everything twice
[17:46] <zus> BluesKaj,  i was wondering more on migrating a 32 settings and info to a 64 machine
[17:46] <zus> im just glad i dont have to do more than cpy &pst
[17:47]  * SavageKoala using Konversation from Ubuntu 10.04
[17:47] <SavageKoala> 32bit
[17:48] <aleboco> benkay86: well, i was just looking for a way to do it easily and GUI-centricly ;-)
[17:48] <BluesKaj> zus, you could reinstall 64 bit over the old 32 bit without reformatting , some of your non default apps might disappear but their configuration files will remain intact , s o you can just reinstall them and the original settings will be retained
[17:50] <zus> BluesKaj,  im glad i found kubuntu ...
[17:51] <BluesKaj> zus, yup, most of us are too :)
[17:53] <Megabites> Alguem do Brasil ??
[17:53] <zus> BluesKaj,  im thinking on installing the ubuntu-desktop also
[17:53] <Mamarok> !br | Megabites
[17:54] <c3l> need help with my printer. Im managing to get a testpage printed, but nothing else. (hp laserjet 1020)
[17:54] <c3l> ive ran hp-setup
[17:55] <BluesKaj> zus,i tried that for a while but I found that just using the gtk apps that I really need with kde is much less cluttered and complicated
[17:56] <benkay86> c3l: I'm not sure you had to do anything hp-centric to get it working. In fact, that could be part of your problem.
[17:56] <benkay86> System Settings -> Printer Configuration works in all but exceptional cases.
[17:57] <c3l> benkay86: i couldnt get it working at all otherwise. it poped up in the printer settings. but when sending a job to it, nothing happend, but the tray icon appeared
[17:57] <c3l> benkay86: should I remove it from printersettings and.. well how do I do it the "normal" way?
[17:57] <Megabites> hi, i need help on install nvidia driver on kubunto 10.04
[17:58] <Megabites> ??
[17:58] <caprea> I think my plasma is borked.
[17:58] <benkay86> c3l: By "printersettings" do you mean the Printer Configuration dialog under system settings?
[17:58] <benkay86> Megabites: Have you already looked here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[17:58] <c3l> Megabites: if you want the proprietary drivers, just go to nvidias homepage and download the drivers for your graphics card (linux version) and install
[17:58] <c3l> benkay86: yeah, sorry for not being clear ;)
[17:58] <caprea> When KDE starts up, after the splash screen I get a crash for plasma, and then I have no start menu. Im running apps from the Alt+F2 menu
[17:59] <zus> BluesKaj,  i somehow got gnome-player installed. i wanted to learn the os with the default  first before mixing and matching  i kinda dont mind the gnome player
[17:59] <caprea> I've rebooted plenty, I deleted my .kde directory
[17:59] <benkay86> c3l: As far as I know, that *is* the normal way of adding printers.
[18:00] <SavageKoala> sum1 tell me the package name to download kde plz?
[18:00] <caprea> I can't figure how to fix this, the two actions I've done is that yesterday I installed VirtualBox and updated all my packages from KPackageKit
[18:00] <c3l> well the laserjet 1020 didnt work too well =/ I remember that it worked just fine on ubuntu 9.10 (at that time I ran gnome)
[18:00] <c3l> ill try the windows-sloution, a reboot.. ;)
[18:00] <caprea> Is the command for running plasma simply 'plasma' ? Because it says command not found
[18:00] <SavageKoala> I'm running gnome but it's my partner's family desktop so would be best to offer both gnome and kde
[18:01] <c3l> SavageKoala: kde-desktop afaik
[18:01] <benkay86> c3l: Could work. I have a Brother printer myself, so I can't vouch for your specific model...
[18:01] <c3l> SavageKoala: kubuntu-desktop - Kubuntu Plasma Desktop system
[18:01] <SavageKoala> kk ty c3l
[18:02] <SavageKoala> bbs switching users to allow another on
[18:03] <caprea> how might I restore my desktop/plasma?
[18:03] <c3l> oh and I have a very annoying problem. The display settings are not saved between sessions. I keep loggin into my cloned blurry screens, forcin me to go to display settings and fix it all to 2 monitors side by side witht the proper resolutoin. is ther a reason for this being so fu**ed
[18:06] <caprea> okay I figured out the command, but plasma-desktop crashes everytime I run it
[18:08] <zus> does anyones kaffeine open when a face book message pops up?
[18:09] <zus> id rather not install kaffiene if its going to be unruly once again heh
[18:09] <benkay86> zus: I use vlc for media playback, personally.
[18:10] <zus> benkay86,  i just read it has features dragon player  dont...also i first heard about it cos i was looking for  video wallpapers but i never could  find the function in either vlc or kaffeine
[18:11] <caprea> I am trying to restore my desktop. If I do "apt-get remove kubuntu*" and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, what information might I lose?
[18:11] <benkay86> zus: Dragon player is based on mplayer. Kaffeine is based on Xine. VLC uses its own media engine.
[18:13] <zus> benkay86,  thanks.  i do use vlc for what dragon wont play. i only wated kaffeiene if it did video for  wallpapers
[18:13] <dolomite> caprea: deleting the ~./kde folder might help you
[18:13] <caprea> I have alreayd done that, dolomite
[18:14] <caprea> I still get the same crash
[18:14] <apparle> hi guys... I had a download running, but I got ip conflict and due to that the download failed. But luckily the file and file.part were still intact so I copied them is there any way to resume the download
[18:14] <caprea> Does anyone know what makes updates "blocked" in Kpackagekit?
[18:14] <dolomite> caprea: updates are blocked if they might break your system
[18:15] <speedvin_> caprea: hold command :D
[18:15] <dolomite> !kget | caprea
[18:15] <dolomite> whoops
[18:15] <caprea> I did an update of a bunch of pakcages which might ahve broken my plasma
[18:15] <benkay86> zus: I don't know if Kaffeine does that or not. I think there is a plasma widget that renders video as your wallpaper http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=112105 (dunno what engine it uses). Also, you could theoretically make *anything* your wallpaper with xwinwrap.
[18:15] <caprea> I see a bunch of blocked updates still
[18:16] <dolomite> apparle: I'm not sure if you can restart the download; in the future try using KGet
[18:17] <caprea> dolomite: Since deleting the .kde directory didnt work I am thinking of reinstalling kubuntu via apt-get remove and apt-get install. Is that a bad idea?
[18:17] <caprea> or is there a way I can 'upgrade' my system? Isnt there  a new version of kubuntu out?
[18:17] <zus> benkay86,  awe geesh i havent even begun to get into eye candy yet haha
[18:17] <benkay86> zus: Uh, I think video wallpaper qualifies as eyecandy.
[18:18] <dolomite> caprea: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if you want to upgrade to 10.04
[18:18] <caprea> thanks
[18:18] <zus> benkay86,  yea i mean with kde-look i've been putting that off  there is SO much to look at
[18:18] <dolomite> caprea: I hope your desktop won't still be broken after update
[18:18] <caprea> I dont ahve to add a repository source or anything?
[18:19] <dolomite> !upgrade | caprea
[18:19] <dolomite> erm
[18:19] <caprea> I already am using 9.10
[18:19] <caprea> is that the latest?
[18:19] <dolomite> let me get you link
[18:20] <zus> benkay86,  im still using default everything pretty much. i've just been making sure i've got  everything i need working right
[18:21] <dolomite> caprea: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades/Kubuntu
[18:21] <caprea> thanks
[18:21] <caprea> dont have much of a desktop to do research myself
[18:23] <dolomite> caprea: that's why the IRC is here
[18:23] <dolomite> caprea: look into the upgrade; if you can, though, a fresh install will be better
[18:26] <tok_> how can I update kdelibs in kubuntu 9.10 ?
[18:27] <dolomite> tok_: have you checked that the repositories don't have your updates?
[18:27] <dolomite> tok_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:28] <caprea> after I upgrade to Kub 10, would I be able to restore my old .kde settings by replacing the directory? Or is it not backwards compatible?
[18:28] <tok_> dolomite:sudo apt-get update gives a list of some files, the next one is downloading 189 MB of files. Is this the one ?
[18:28] <caprea> I moved the directory so I think it will come up as funky looking to me
[18:28] <dolomite> caprea: it'll still be compatibile
[18:29] <dolomite> tok_: yeah, it'll upgrade your packages and your lib problem may be solved
[18:30] <melanie> big problem whit lucid!
[18:30] <tok_> dolomite: thanks..:)
[18:31] <tok_> melanie: what prob ?
[18:31] <dolomite> tok_: yep
[18:31] <david_> Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to restart plasma without restarting X, sometimes it screws up when i do ALT-tab. :/
[18:31] <melanie> no image whit video just sound!
[18:31] <melanie> no codec?
[18:31] <dolomite> melanie: what program are you using?
[18:31] <c3l> I have a very annoying problem. The display settings are not saved between sessions. I keep loggin into my cloned blurry screens, forcin me to go to display settings and fix it all to 2 monitors side by side witht the proper resolutoin. is ther a reason for this being so fu**ed
[18:31] <melanie> by default!
[18:31] <dolomite> melanie: I don't know what default is on your system
[18:32] <melanie> ...
[18:33] <melanie> (lecteur video)
[18:33] <dolomite> melanie: you're watching a video right? is it in your web browser? VLC? Dragon Player?
[18:33] <speedvin_> VLC ftw.
[18:33] <dolomite> speedvin_: by default!
[18:34] <speedvin_> Dragon player is intalled by default in kubuntu
[18:34] <dolomite> melanie: and what type of video is it? .mpeg? .avi? .mkv?
[18:34] <boris_> hi everyone, new to kubuntu, and the google search has not helped so far: how can i tell my computer to go to sleep, or hibernate, at a later time point (like shutdown -h +mins)???
[18:34] <dolomite> boris_: that's the command you want
[18:34] <melanie> and a another major problem... is when i start my computer and the login come my screen turn black!
[18:35] <melanie> and i can do nothing!
[18:35] <dolomite> melanie: I'm getting the impression you don't want to solve your problem.
[18:35] <melanie> yes
[18:35] <dolomite> melanie: so please post on a forum
[18:35] <Captain_Haddock> lucid fresh install: what's the recommended procedure to configure samba?
[18:35] <boris_> alright, but only figured out how to reboot or shutdown, not how to go to sleep.... must be missing something stupid
[18:35] <melanie> and a another major problem... is when i start my computer and the login come my screen turn black!
[18:35] <maco> boris_: sudo pm-suspend
[18:36] <maco> melanie: you already said that one
[18:36] <dolomite> maco: beat me
[18:36] <Captain_Haddock> Previously I used to manually edit smb.conf... any alternatives now?
[18:36] <Captain_Haddock> !samba
[18:36] <dolomite> melanie: in order to diagnose your problem, we need actual information
[18:36] <melanie> ok
[18:36] <boris_> maco: thank you very much. don't know why i had trouble finding that
[18:36] <maco> Captain_Haddock: samba's been broken in kde for years... we talked about it at uds for lucid, but im not sure if it actually got fixed :-/
[18:37] <melanie> for my scrren for begining
[18:37] <dolomite> Captain_Haddock: http://mostlylinux.wordpress.com/network/samba/
[18:37] <dolomite> Captain_Haddock: it's a good tutorial
[18:37] <Captain_Haddock> maco: I see - thanks for the info :)
[18:37] <maco> c3l: by the way, obfuscated swearing is still swearing and not allowed in here
[18:37] <Captain_Haddock> dolomite: looking, thanks
[18:38] <c3l> maco: oh :D well if my display settings got fixed, there wouldn't be any swearing =)
[18:38] <c3l> and of course, im sorry. wont happen again
[18:38] <dolomite> c3l: no excuse. unless you find a word like that in the source code
[18:40] <Captain_Haddock> dolomite: is that a little dated? From what I read, samba uses some new authentication system.. and all the init.d restart business has all been thrown out of the window, right?
[18:41] <apparle> hi guys
[18:41] <EXCHIM> Hi
[18:41] <Captain_Haddock> hi
[18:41] <dolomite> Captain_Haddock: you're probably right about the authentication stuff. I used the NFSHowTo on that site and had nothing but succes.
[18:41] <dolomite> Captain_Haddock: and the init.d stuff is just deprecated; there are still ways to restart processes
[18:41] <dolomite> Captain_Haddock: I'd take maco's advice and tread lightly with samba
[18:42] <maco> dolomite: finding a word like that in the linux kernel source code is /easy/
[18:42] <Captain_Haddock> dolomite: roger. re: init.d - things seem even more confusing than usual now :/
[18:43] <dolomite> maco: #
[18:44] <boris_> reading the manual for pm-action at manpages.ubuntu.com: ``Calling them from the command line is also possible, but it is not guaranteed that all programs in your desktop session keep working as expected.''
[18:44] <boris_> Do i need to worry about that?
[18:45] <cuznt> i have ubuntu 3 times on one hard drive and want to delete 1. is that possible?
[18:45] <dolomite> cuznt: how do you have 3 ubuntus on one drive?
[18:46] <dolomite> cuznt: in other words, are they still being useful (i.e. / /home swap)
[18:47] <cuznt> well one i will keep, it is small in case the other breaks
[18:47] <cuznt> but the other one is a farce
[18:48] <DarthFrog> cuznt: Hopefully the one you wish to delete isn't the one with your GRUB installation.
[18:48] <cuznt> i will leave it for now then
[18:48] <dolomite> cuznt: yes...and didn't you create these at some point?
[18:49] <cuznt> one was a failed install
[18:49] <dolomite> cuznt: back everything up and do a clean install/format of your drive. that'll get rid of it! :D
[18:49] <cuznt> nothing worked right.. it just did something weird and nothing worked right
[18:51] <konstantinos> hi
[18:51] <boris_> i mean, putting the computer to sleep is as "easy" as pressing the sleep button, i thought there must be a way to do the same, just at a later time point?...
[18:54] <jimmy51_> small complaint... after installing the 3D nvidia drivers (current version) the Kubuntu boot screen is super ugly.  is that expected?
[18:55] <boris_> jimmy51_: same here, i have learned to ignore it :)
[18:56] <moetunes> I remember seeing someone mention a bug report about that jimmy51_
[18:56] <boris_> i will rephrase my initial question: has anyone read the description part of the pm-action manual page, and understands what paragraphs 2 and 3 are supposed to mean?? (here the manual page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/pm-action.8.html)
[18:57] <dolomite> jimmy51_: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
[18:58] <jimmy51_> ah
[18:58] <jimmy51_> thanks
[18:58] <jimmy51_> it sure is ugly
[18:59] <dolomite> jimmy51_: the fix is to slow down your boot
[18:59] <dolomite> jimmy51_: for me, I didn't care enough about pretty graphics to slow down the boot
[18:59] <jimmy51_> oh, yuck.  me neither.  it's just not impressive to the people around here i'm trying to convert :(
[19:00] <dolomite> jimmy51_: well, I understand that approach too. I think the boot slowdown is like 5 seconds
[19:00] <dolomite> so weight that out
[19:01] <jimmy51_> eh, i'll just drop a jelly bean on the floor when that part of the boot shows up
[19:01] <moetunes> boris_: those paragraphs say that to use it properly you are advised to use a program that interfaces with it properly
[19:01] <jimmy51_> they'll look at the jelly bean and never even notice the super ugly logo :)
[19:01] <dolomite> jimmy51_: haha
[19:01] <khider> Hello all, my add and remove software GUI does not work, is there anything I can do to get it fixed?
[19:02] <dolomite> khider: what happens that it doesn't work?
[19:02] <dolomite> khider: did you upgrade to 10.04?
[19:02] <khider> dolomite: The search packages field is greyed out, I cannot type anything
[19:03] <boris_> moetunes: i guessed that much; what would be such a program? where do i read how to interface with it properly? anyway, i tried it out, it works, i guess i can worry about it when it breaks. thank you for the help!
[19:03] <dolomite> khider: have you tried reinstalling kpackagekit?
[19:03] <khider> dolomite: The problem started when I did the upgrade, which was problematic to begin with
[19:03] <khider> dolomite: What is teh command line to re-install it?
[19:03] <dolomite> khider: sudo apt-get remove --purge kpackagekit
[19:04] <dolomite> khider: I guess you could just do sudo apt-get install --reinstall kpackagekit
[19:04] <moetunes> boris_: I would do   apt-cache search power-manager   to find what options there are
[19:04] <khider> dolomite: http://pastebin.ca/1871449  (you see how bad it all is?)
[19:05] <dolomite> khider: oh! I didn't realize you have broken packages
[19:05] <khider> dolomite: Is there a way to fix?
[19:06] <dolomite> try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:06] <khider> dolomite: http://pastebin.ca/1871450
[19:06] <boris_> moetunes: the kde program must be called something else, this only gives me gnome-power-manager and xfce4-foo programs
[19:07] <dolomite> khider: one sec
[19:07] <boris_> moetunes: but as i said, it seems to work fine, i will worry about it if it breaks
[19:07] <newyork> hi guys, the musicplayback in my kubuntu 10.4 system is very fast, mpd with mpc also in firefox with youtube, the sound playback makes 3second jumps, any idea how i can fix this?
[19:07] <moetunes> boris_: k :]

[19:10] <khider> dolomite: http://pastebin.ca/1871456
[19:11] <khider> dolomite: Pretty bad, huh?
[19:11] <dolomite> khider: yes it is.
[19:11] <khider> I wonder if there is a linux doctor in the house
[19:12] <khider> dolomite: Any way to fix or is it beyond hope?
[19:12] <dolomite> khider: and does sudo dpkg --configure linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic
[19:12] <dolomite> produce the same error?
[19:13] <DarthFrog> Try: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:13] <dolomite> DarthFrog: he already did. http://pastebin.ca/1871450
[19:14] <DarthFrog> Then sudo apt-get -f install
[19:14] <khider> dolomite: http://pastebin.ca/1871461
[19:14] <dolomite> khider: yeah, the -f might help ya
[19:14] <DarthFrog> or apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic
[19:15] <DarthFrog> sudo apt-get, of course. :-)
[19:15] <dolomite> DarthFrog: the header is not configuring
[19:16] <dolomite> DarthFrog: I'll just fill you in b/c I'm taking off. He upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and now his package configuration is broken.
[19:16] <khider> DarthFrog: dolomite http://pastebin.ca/1871462
[19:16] <DarthFrog> I'm leaving myself in a few minutes.
[19:17] <khider> Is there anything that can be done or am I screwed?
[19:17] <DarthFrog> Oh, it can be fixed.  But perhaps not easily.
[19:17] <SK-[BBS]> kde installed. brb rebooting
[19:17] <dolomite> khider: try sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic
[19:17] <DarthFrog> Try "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic"
[19:18] <dolomite> khider: yeah, what Darth said; it's better
[19:18] <DarthFrog> Do the --purge that dolomite suggests first.
[19:18] <dolomite> DarthFrog: haha, second guessing ourselves
[19:18] <DarthFrog> :-)  I like the idea of a purge.
[19:18] <khider> dolomite: OKAy, done--now what?
[19:19] <dolomite> khider: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic
[19:19] <khider> dolomite: So far so good....
[19:19] <khider> dolomite: Next?
[19:20] <dolomite> khider: well, did it configure and everything?
[19:20] <khider> dolomite: http://pastebin.ca/1871464
[19:20] <DarthFrog> khider: Cut 'n paste this:  alias lspkg="dpkg --list | grep ^ii.* | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | sort | less"
[19:21] <khider> dolomite: I am not sure...I see no errors
[19:21] <dolomite> khider: you should be set! open your package manager
[19:21] <DarthFrog> then "lspkg | grep linux" and post the results to pastebin.
[19:21] <khider> dolomite: No, still greyed out
[19:21] <dolomite> ok, then follow DarthFrog's stuff
[19:21] <dolomite> khider: and it might help to reinstall kpackagekit now
[19:22] <khider> dolomite: Okay, thanks. Darth Frog, what is next?
[19:22] <dolomite> khider: and check your /etc/apt/sources.list to ensure that they're all correct (should say lucid, not karmic)
[19:25] <khider> dolomite: I do not get errors now, but I still cannot get kpackage to work
[19:25] <DarthFrog> khider: What did the "lspkg" command I gave you above tell you?
[19:26] <khider> DarthFrog: The next line retruned nothing
[19:27] <DarthFrog> Did you issue the alias command first?
[19:27] <khider> DarthFrog: http://pastebin.ca/1871471
[19:28] <DarthFrog> Pastebin is slow.
[19:28] <DarthFrog> Still not loaded.
[19:28] <tsimpson> pastebin.ca is _always_ slow
[19:28] <dolomite> khider: must be this canadian thing
[19:28] <tsimpson> try ubuntu.pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com
[19:28] <DarthFrog> <-- is Canadian. :-)
[19:29] <dolomite> khider: please switch to paste.ubuntu.com
[19:29] <dolomite> ^ is fast
[19:30] <khider> DarthFrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/427830/
[19:30] <khider> (Khider is from toronto, ontario, canada)
[19:30] <DarthFrog> khider: OK, now:  lspkg | grep linux
[19:31] <khider> DarthFrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/427831/
[19:32] <DarthFrog> Bingo, they're installed.
[19:32] <dolomite> DarthFrog: now he needs his package manager
[19:32] <khider> openoffice and the kpackagekit
[19:32] <dolomite> khider: please issue: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kpackagekit
[19:32] <DarthFrog> I leave that in other hands.  I need to go rebuild a server. :-)
[19:33] <dolomite> DarthFrog: have fun
[19:33] <dolomite> khider: I have five minutes
[19:33] <DarthFrog> dolomite: The --purge was a good idea.
[19:33] <khider> DarthFrog: Thank you
[19:33] <dolomite> DarthFrog: it's my fallback!
[19:33] <DarthFrog> khider: You're very welcome.
[19:34] <jinzougen> I recently upgraded to Lucid, and java is no longer working. Java applications say that there is no suitable java machine installed. I tried to install sun java6 via aptitude but it says the package is not found...
[19:34] <khider> dolomite: Okay, now--how do we get kpackage kit and open office to work again?
[19:34] <Erod> jinzougen: Java packages are in the partner repository.
[19:35] <jinzougen> Erod, so I have to update the sources to include this repo?
[19:36] <dolomite> khider: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kpackagekit
[19:36] <khider> dolomite: I did that, the same net result--a greyedout input field
[19:37] <Erod> jinzougen: Add "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" in kpackagekit other sources or directly to /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:37] <dolomite> khider: sudo apt-get remove --purge kpackagekit && sudo apt-get install synaptic
[19:37] <dolomite> haha
[19:37] <jinzougen> Thanks, I was just attempting to look up the url
[19:37] <khider> Also, I cannot install pen office either http://paste.ubuntu.com/427835/
[19:38] <dolomite> khider: I'm attempting to help you fix your package manager
[19:38] <khider> (installing synaptic--hope that works)
[19:39] <dolomite> khider: its evident that you have a lot of broken packages. is a clean install out of the question?
[19:39] <jimmy51_> what's a good visual way to see the physical drives and their partitions in kubuntu 10.04?
[19:39] <jimmy51_> (similar to diskmgmt.msc in Windows)
[19:40] <khider> dolomite: I have so many e-mails and other important info that I am worried about losing
[19:40] <khider> I have the OS on a 64G flash drive and the /home on a tera-byte drive
[19:40] <khider> I am worried about things going screwy
[19:41] <dolomite> khider: well, see if synaptic helps your problem. back up your /home and consider doing a fresh install.
[19:41] <dolomite> khider: i need to go.
[19:41] <khider> dolomite: Thanks for your help
[19:41] <jinzougen> Erod, thanks a lot. Everything's peachy now :)
[19:42] <speedvin_> Why g++ is not provided with gcc package by default
[19:42] <speedvin_> ?
[19:43] <EXCHIM> Hi everybody
[19:45] <speedvin_> hi
[19:47] <aleboco> How can I share the Internet connection in lucid using network-manager-kde?
[19:48] <moetunes> !ics | aleboco these links might help
[19:49] <aleboco> moetunes: i saw the first link already, but i thought it should be as easy as to set an ad-hoc connection up instead
[19:50] <moetunes> aleboco: I've never tried it but think there might be a couple of steps at least
[19:51] <aleboco> moetunes: yeah it may be. however the stuff i've found on the internet it's quite confusing :(
[19:53] <jimmy51_> !info partitionmanager
[19:56] <tilgovi> my apt got destroyed by the lucid upgrade. been searching around but can't find any reports with my problem exactly.
[19:56] <jimmy51_> wow.  partitionmanager is something i could have been using for years!
[19:56] <moetunes> aleboco: the first link from ubottu seems pretty straight forward - you don't need to understand the steps just do them in order
[19:56] <tilgovi> Don't remember the exact error during the upgrade, but now I get broken or not installed errors for apt, lots of other stuff broken on the libapt-pkg-libc6.10-6.4.8 not installed
[19:57] <mvk> i keep getting > Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig ,but when i check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:57] <mvk> **) May 04 20:47:26 NVIDIA(0): Enabling 32-bit ARGB GLX visuals.
[19:57] <mvk> it does enable GLX, and there are no EE errors or WW warnings
[19:58] <Captain_Haddock> tilgovi: if it's any help, you can use aptitude to check if all is well.
[19:58] <tilgovi> Captain_Haddock: I know. aptitude informs me that all is FUBARd
[19:58] <Captain_Haddock> pastebin?
[19:59] <mvk> so i cant play games/ use google-earth, or use desktop effects - ANYONE?!
[19:59] <mvk> i reinstalled nvidia-glx-185 from repos, afterp purging, also trown away my xorg.conf
[19:59] <tilgovi> Captain_Haddock: http://www.friendpaste.com/3L0zVmJoduoIo1joVEjhKM
[20:00] <aleboco> moetunes: yeah it is but i want to do it with network-manager-kde if possible
[20:01] <tilgovi> I wish aptitude could trim the errors for me and just show me the first failure in the dependency chain.
[20:01] <tilgovi> so much noise I can't figure out what the cause is
[20:02] <tilgovi> Captain_Haddock: Seems like it all stems from apt not configuring properly. any idea how to track down the post-installation script error?
[20:03] <tilgovi> i'm afraid to uninstall apt for fear of not being able to reinstall it
[20:03] <tilgovi> but right now it's pretty broken
[20:05] <Captain_Haddock> tilgovi: what happens when you do sudo aptitude install python-apt ?
[20:06] <tilgovi> Captain_Haddock: same thing. it sets about trying to configure apt first
[20:08] <Captain_Haddock> tilgovi: dpkg-reconfigure apt ?
[20:08] <tilgovi> "apt is broken or not fully installed" no other output
[20:11] <Captain_Haddock> tilgovi: dpkg -a ?
[20:11] <neosimago> hi people: Is there anyone here with a thinkpad T410 having difficulties getting wireless to work? lspci gives me this as my wireless device: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 Series (rev 35)
[20:14] <tilgovi> Captain_Haddock: that just tells me it needs an action option
[20:14] <Captain_Haddock> tilgovi: er, dpkg --configure -a
[20:15] <tilgovi> same errors but without needing to say Yes or telling me about the packages it will install/remove when/if it ever finishes configuring the rboken stuff
[20:17] <CartoonCat> erm
[20:21] <CartoonCat> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting
[20:21] <CartoonCat> per the link, i am trying to fix the module race condition. that says how to do it for gdm, but, i use kdm obviously. anyone know the correct way?
[20:22] <tilgovi> Captain_Haddock: ^^ any more suggestions?
[20:23] <Captain_Haddock> tilgovi: nope, sorry. You should try posting this on launchpad. Might get some expert help.
[20:24] <Captain_Haddock> or reinstall apt, I guess.
[20:24] <tilgovi> thanks
[20:25] <mavErik> hi, in my 10.04 i can't use finger print on my hp pavillion...cuold someone help me?
[20:27] <buckfast> can I disable the network manager in kubuntu and set the network manually?
[20:27] <Captain_Haddock> buckfast: sure
[20:28] <Captain_Haddock> <-- uses wicd instead
[20:29] <mavErik> anyone could help me?
[20:31] <buckfast> Captain_Haddock: how do i do it
[20:32] <buckfast> I mean, disable all network managers
[20:32] <buckfast> and just set everything with config files
[20:36] <pingveno> I just did the upgrade to 10.04 and now my screen dims to 0% whenever a power profile is set, regardless of the power profile and any adjustments.
[20:37] <pingveno> This is a ThinkPad T43 with an ATI discrete graphics card, if that makes any difference.
[20:39] <mavErik> anyone can use fingerprint reader on hp pavillion?
[20:41] <kinection> is there a way to turn off font bolding in the console?
[20:41] <kinection> with the update to lucid, it seems to be bolding certain things, and since i use a bitmap font (proggy), everything looks wrong and cut off
[20:43] <mavErik> in the official forum anyone were able to resolve the problem...
[20:48] <compilerwriter> before I resort to the extreme measure of reinstalling in 32 bit is there someone here who can help me get flash working completely in 64 bit?
[20:49] <doleyb_> compilerwriter: did you try the adobe flash64 beta download?
[20:49] <compilerwriter> no doleyb_ I did not.
[20:50] <doleyb_> compilerwriter: its this link http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html and it goes in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[20:50] <compilerwriter> I will give that a try doleyb_
[20:50] <compilerwriter> thanks
[20:51] <doleyb_> kinection: I have that same problem, but didnt fix it yet
[20:51] <smokealot> a easier way is to install flashplugin-nonfree - Adobe Flash Player plugin installer (transitional package)
[20:51] <smokealot> it should be in apt-get off the bat
[20:52] <compilerwriter> tried that smokealot.  didn't work.
[20:52] <noober> hello is ipod/phone support from ubuntu ported in kubuntu?
[20:52] <fbxxkl> How come movie player always does this No URI handler implemented for "dvd"
[20:53] <qwebirc4417> I have totally botched my upgrade/desktop/plasma
[20:53] <tsimpson> noober: Kubuntu _is_ Ubuntu, just with a KDE GUI instead of Gnome
[20:53] <noober> yeah i know
[20:53] <qwebirc4417> I need some help fixing my system to be usable again
[20:54] <smokealot> compilerwriter your trying to use firefox ?
[20:54] <qwebirc4417> I get the the login screen and go to log in, but everytime the splash menu starts the screen goes black for a second and then returns to the login screen
[20:54] <tsimpson> so it should works, if it doesn't work with a specific application, you can use the gnome app you know it works with
[20:54] <noober> okay, so i'll parafraze :)
[20:54] <compilerwriter> yes.
[20:54] <noober> is gnome's support for ipod/phone existing in kde?
[20:55] <noober> :)
[20:55] <compilerwriter> someone earlier pointed me to some sort of wrapper that got flash sort of working.
[20:55] <smokealot> thats weird man i just reinstalled kubuntu the first thing i did was install that flash-plugin and it worked perfect on a amd64 bit laptop
[20:55] <noober> there is a underlying software for that, but the whole mount/sync stuff is stuffed in gnome, and not in kde
[20:55] <doleyb_> smokealot: and you have a 64bit os too?
[20:55] <smokealot> yep
[20:55] <compilerwriter> took forever to load but then only video and no sound  and then only once did it work?
[20:56] <doleyb_> compilerwriter: you might check to make sure you don't have pulseaudio screwing it up
[20:56] <tsimpson> noober: most apps that work with ipods/iphones use a shared library, so they if it works in one app, it should work in another
[20:57] <smokealot> compilerwriter: sometimes non working installtions of flash wont let the flash-plugin work
[20:57] <smokealot> i did notice that sometimes
[20:57] <noober> @tsimpson yes, i was just wondering why isn't plug and play stuffed in kde
[20:57] <ceco> ciao
[20:57] <ceco> !list
[20:57] <tsimpson> noober: it is
[20:58] <noober> @tsimpson well it isn't working for me then
[20:58] <compilerwriter> smokealot well then could help me get rid of all flash and then install the 64 bit thing
[20:58] <tsimpson> well I use rockbox for my ipod, and it just works
[20:59] <caprea> Help! My KDE/ Plasma Desktop is broken, how can I fix it?
[20:59] <caprea> I've got console access only
[20:59] <noober> @tsimpson agh.. i just want to ssh my mp3's and forget about it... apple products are frustrating :)
[21:00] <smokealot> compilerwriter: i myself could not get it working untill i reinstalled fresh and only installed firefox then flash to get it to work
[21:00] <tsimpson> noober: that's why I use rockbox, I _can_ just copy them over
[21:00] <caprea> I removed my .kde directory, I tried apt-get remove kubuntu* and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[21:00] <speedvin_> and what?
[21:01] <compilerwriter> Well I can do a fresh reinstall fairly easily I have a seperate home partition.  I will try that first then.
[21:01] <noober> @tsimpson i have ipod touch, so no luck with rockbox
[21:01] <ceco> ola
[21:01] <smokealot> compilerwriter: thats best
[21:01] <tsimpson> !it | ceco
[21:01] <compilerwriter> Well going to reboot.
[21:02] <smokealot> compilerwriter: alright good luck
[21:02] <compilerwriter> Well it is worth a shot.
[21:02] <noober> off to stain my pristine kde with gnome software <.< apple, what are you making me do
[21:03] <smokealot> compilerwriter: thats the only way i ever got flash working too
[21:04] <lfaraone> Hi, I installed kubuntu-desktop on top of an existing ubuntu-desktop system to try it out. I find that the Power Management KDE Module does not detect that my CPU supports frequency scaling, nor does it notice that I have a battery at all. How can I debug this?
[21:08] <caprea> After upgrading to Kubuntu 10 from 9, I cant log in to my system. Everytime I go to log in the screen goes black then reshows the login screen
[21:15] <doleyb_> caprea: did you try alt-f1 and console log in?
[21:16] <smokealot> caprea: i had a simular problem my screen would turn green then show a very blurry login screen then it would repeat over and over
[21:17] <smokealot> i could not fix it tho ):
[21:17] <smokealot> had to reinstall
[21:18] <caprea> yes I did
[21:18] <pingveno> Repeat question: I just did the upgrade to Lucid and now my screen dims to 0% whenever a power profile is set, regardless of the power profile and any adjustments.
[21:18] <caprea> wait I think I misunderstood
[21:18] <caprea> what does alt-f1 do
[21:19] <caprea> smokealot: I could reinstall but I cant lose certain data folders
[21:19] <caprea> plus I cant burn a CD to boot from
[21:19] <pingveno> Modification: It also dims randomly when I am using it.
[21:19] <Mamarok> caprea: Alt+F1 will not do much, I guess he meant Ctrl+Alt+F1
[21:20] <caprea> I did ctrl-alt-f2 and was able to log in that way
[21:20] <caprea> so I can get console access
[21:20] <caprea> but when i try 'startx' it doesnt go.. I think because it already running the login screen?
[21:21] <pingveno> caprea: You need to do startx -- :1
[21:22] <lfaraone> maco: poke
[21:22] <caprea> Server is already active for display 0
[21:23] <caprea> I tried removing the .kde directory and that didnt fix it
[21:23] <caprea> I tried removing and installing kubuntu* from apt-get
[21:24] <maco> lfaraone: ?
[21:25] <lfaraone> maco: I decided to try out Kubuntu due to some S/R issues in Gnome. S/R works fine from the command line in KDE (despite refusing to suspend in GNOME), but the Power Management Console does not detect my battery or CPU scaling. (GNOME was able to do so)
[21:26] <maco> lfaraone: file bug?
[21:26] <lfaraone> maco: well, I'm not sure if it's a bug or I somehow messed up my installation <_<;
[21:26]  * lfaraone just installed kubuntu-desktop y-day.
[21:27] <maco> lfaraone: i dont think it sees my cpu scaling either, so im going with bug
[21:27] <lfaraone> maco: does it see your battery?
[21:27] <maco> yes
[21:27] <maco> itll be a bug in powerdevil, i expect
[21:29] <Twey> lfaraone: So did I… it didn't work :-\
[21:30] <lfaraone> maco: I don't have such a package installed, and it doesn't show up in an apt-cache search.
[21:32] <maco> lfaraone: that might be part of kdebase...
[21:32] <c3l> I remember some program in gnome that automatically found my iPhone and showed its photos. is ther anything in kde that can do the same?
[21:32] <smokealot> ive been trying
[21:32] <smokealot> mine does not even show up
[21:32] <smokealot> in gnome it does tho automticly
[21:32] <smokealot> like you said
[21:33] <c3l> smokealot: so how do we solve this?
[21:34] <smokealot> im still trying to find out
[21:35] <c3l> smokealot: one way is of course to go over SSH (assuming your jailbroken)
[21:35] <c3l> but afaik it is f-spot that is finding the iphone in gnome
[21:45] <samoura> l;
[21:47] <family> hi all
[21:49] <c3l> hi there
[21:50] <Guest52974> java -version  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8)...  plus i've installed icedtea6-plugin   When I try to run an applet in yahoo games for instance, I just get a blank window.   How to fix?
[21:52] <aleboco> is there a way to share internet connection, specifically using network-manager-kde?
[21:55] <caprea> Ive determined my system is hosed and have to install fresh
[21:55] <caprea> is there a DVD image, or a way to do it by network?
[21:56] <Guest52974> Also I've configured firefox to accept popups from  games.yahoo.com   The window pops up but there's a blank area where the java applet shouid be.     about:plugins list a bunch of idedtea stuff.  What is wrong?
[21:56] <c3l> theres lots of ways to do it, I prefer using an USB-stick, caprea
[21:56] <caprea> hmmm thats an option
[21:56] <caprea> I think I have a stick with 512mb
[21:56] <caprea> how much would I need?
[21:57] <caprea> can you explain that process to me c31
[21:57] <c3l> caprea: as the image is made to fit a CD, at least 700mb is needed
[21:57] <c3l> caprea: but just burning to a CD is perhaps the easiest and fatest
[21:58] <Guest52974> just make sure you test the CD/DVD before installing from it
[21:58] <Guest52974> test = verify
[21:59] <Guest52974> Should I purge IcedTea and install Sun
[22:00] <Guest52974> i might need some icedtea if sun is hot <--- a little geek humour
[22:01] <oxymoron> Does somebody know if its possible to change Wine icons showed in systray? :P
[22:08] <jimmy51_> is there no more menu.lst in 10.04?
[22:08] <txwikinger> jimmy51_: yes grub2 has a different configuration structure
[22:09] <jimmy51_> txwikinger: what's the file i'm looking for if i want to investigate the configuration formerly handled by menu.lst?
[22:10] <txwikinger> !grub2 | jimmy51_
[22:10] <jimmy51_> txwikinger: ah, grub.cfg.  Thanks for the link :)
[22:11] <txwikinger> jimmy51_: you are welcome
[22:16] <robwlo531> hi, despide of the broken plymouth screen with nivida drivers kubuntu 10.04 rocks awesome: my UMTS stick runs at 400KB/s lots of ugly drawing artifacts are gone...good job & congrats to the makers!
[22:17] <caprea> How can I check if my processor is 32 or 64 without opening the box?
[22:17] <benkay86> robwlo531: Uh, thanks, but your audience is more likely to be here: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LucidLynx/Final/Kubuntu/Feedback
[22:17] <caprea> is there a console command I can use?
[22:17] <benkay86> caprea: If you know the model number, you can Google for it.
[22:18] <caprea> well.. its a dell model number, and I cant tell because you can order it with 64bit windows or 32 bit windows
[22:18] <robwlo531> I just _had_ to disable nepomuk as it consumes together with virtuoso > 50% of CPU (dualcore) and that is unacceptable. Is that a bug or just me?
[22:19] <robwlo531> benkay86: I was looking for some feedback link on kubuntu.org, but there I could'nt find any. so, thx
[22:19] <caprea> I just dont know what version of kubuntu to download
[22:19] <caprea> I dont know if I should get 32 or 64
[22:20] <jimmy51_> i'm officially a fan of UUID's now
[22:21] <jimmy51_> caprea: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:22] <Captain_Haddock> caprea: you want to find this out in windows?
[22:22] <caprea> no.. its a broken linux system
[22:22] <caprea> im reinstalling
[22:22] <caprea> want to be sure to get the right version
[22:22] <Captain_Haddock> caprea: most hardware diagnostic tools should do so
[22:22] <Captain_Haddock> stuff like lshw
[22:23] <Captain_Haddock> (from the cli)
[22:23] <caprea> this is a broken system, if its not already installed it wont get installed
[22:23] <robwlo531> capera: if memory > 4GB take 64bit as the CPU is very likey to be 64bit then, otherwise 32bit is fine
[22:24] <jimmy51_> caprea: if you're booted to linux (liveCD or whatever) you can run lshw as Captain_Haddock said, or run "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[22:24] <jimmy51_> either one will output information on the CPU
[22:24] <caprea> im looking at cpuinfo now
[22:24] <Guest52974> caprea: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit
[22:24] <jimmy51_> caprea: look under model name
[22:24] <Guest52974> and what jimmy said
[22:25] <robwlo531> anybody experiencing heavy CPU usage with nepomuk on 10.04, too?
[22:25] <jimmy51_> caprea: mine says Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20Ghz.  The key is E2200.  if you google "ark E2200" you get a link to intel's product page for that processor
[22:25] <jimmy51_> caprea: including 64 bit or not
[22:25] <caprea> Intel Core 2 Duo, I guess this means it can run either 32bit or 64bit right
[22:25] <caprea> ah
[22:25] <jimmy51_> caprea: does it have a model code?  E2200, X3450, etc?
[22:26] <benkay86> grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
[22:26] <caprea> E8500 @3.16Ghz
[22:26] <benkay86> Yes, it supports EMT64.
[22:26] <jimmy51_> caprea: definitely 64 bit capable.
[22:26] <benkay86> So you may install either the 32 or 64-bit version of Kubuntu, whichever you prefer.
[22:27] <Guest52974> bigger is better :-)
[22:27] <jimmy51_> caprea: how much RAM do you have?
[22:27] <caprea> I do a lot of intensive stuff on this machine, but I also want grater compatibility (like Flash)
[22:27] <caprea> 4Gb I think
[22:27] <emorris> hi, does anyone happen to know what the equivalent of kdeaddons is in Ubuntu Lucid? Thanks
[22:27] <caprea> 4GB
[22:27] <benkay86> 64-bit flash works fine if you follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[22:27] <jimmy51_> caprea: eh, you're on the line then.  i've got 4GB but installed 64 bit in case i add more.
[22:28] <Guest52974> yeah i did that too
[22:28] <benkay86> caprea: Also, if you do video encoding and such, 64-bit will give you a marginal performance boost even without the extra RAM.
[22:28] <caprea> its a science lab machine, number crunching and image processing
[22:28] <benkay86> 64-bit would probably be a good idea then.
[22:29] <benkay86> Unless you are memory constrained and don't need double-precision, but that's most unlikely.
[22:29] <jimmy51_> caprea: ah, good. 32 and 64 are numbers, and 64 is twice 32.  it should be twice as fast then.
[22:29] <jimmy51_> caprea:   :)       totally a joke
[22:29] <caprea> rigt
[22:30] <caprea> I seem to remember there being no 64 bit flash for sometime
[22:30] <jimmy51_> benkay86: did you do the pre-release 64 bit version, or the 32 bit version with some mods?
[22:30] <caprea> so I think Ill go with 32
[22:30] <benkay86> The "pre-release" (its several years old now) of course.
[22:30] <jimmy51_> benkay86: ok.  i'll try that one...
[22:31] <benkay86> This is a bit off-topic, but has anyone here gotten OpenCL working on Lucid? I noticed there's a PPA for the ati-stream OpenCL SDK, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet...
[22:32] <benkay86> caprea: If you are doing scientific computing with high-precision floats or large integers, then 64-bit would clearly be the better choice.
[22:32] <caprea> its not high precision
[22:33] <caprea> its more like biology visualization software
[22:33] <Guest52974> flash has come around, happy 64 bitting!
[22:34] <benkay86> caprea: By "high precision" I mean "Uses the type double, uint64, or long int". Most scientific software does this.
[22:35] <benkay86> On the other hand, if you're software truly doesn't use 64-bit datatypes, then 32-bit is better because pointers to memory end up taking half the space.
[22:35] <caprea> thanks benkay86
[22:35] <jimmy51_> hmm... no response from the keyserver for the 64 bit flash ppa
[22:36] <benkay86> jimmy51_: The Ubuntu keyserver is slow. Try a few more times.
[22:38] <benkay86> Oh dear, the keyserver really is down. Again. >-(
[22:52] <CartoonCat> ok so still getting the radeon module race condition, or at least the error that says that the wiki says means it is. is it possible to get the mismatch error for another reason?
[22:59] <caprea> when I unmount do I do unmount /dev/sdb1 or unmount /mtn/backup ?
[23:01] <benkay86> Unmount the mountpoint, i.e., /mnt/backup
[23:11] <caprea> the device is still listed under /mnt/backup
[23:12] <neosimago> hi people: have there been anyone here looking to get the wifi working on their thinkpad T410?
[23:13] <fbxxkl> Anyone here experienced with k3b I am trying to make a video file on my computer into a DVD but I am not sure how (if its even possible)
[23:14] <benkay86> caprea: lsof /mnt/backup to see if anything is still using it.
[23:16] <neosimago> fbxxkl: you'll need a app to create the dvd menu, there's some applications to do that; and probably some opensource apps to convert your files to the right mpeg formats and create the vob files you need in a DVD. search in synaptic for dvd... some apps should pop up.
[23:16] <fbxxkl> neosimago: ok great thanks
[23:19] <caprea> ok I just burned a new image of kubuntu but for some reason computer not booting from it.
[23:20] <caprea> I dont see int he BIOS the option to boot form CD
[23:20] <caprea> but I know Ive done it
[23:20] <neosimago> caprea: did you check the crc on the image you burned from?
[23:20] <caprea> no
[23:20] <caprea> is crc the m5h?
[23:20] <neosimago> caprea: because you should also burn it as an iso, of course you know about that also.
[23:21] <neosimago> md5
[23:21] <neosimago> caprea: md5sum
[23:21] <caprea> yeah
[23:21] <caprea> I burned it onto a DVD from the ISO
[23:22] <caprea> oh wait
[23:22] <caprea> its working once I selected USB CD Drive from the boot menu
[23:23] <caprea> thanks guys
[23:23] <caprea> but whats crc?
[23:23] <neosimago> caprea: then it sounds like the disk may be fine; just the boot source on the system needs to be verified.
[23:24] <neosimago> caprea: crc (md5) is a checksum to verify the data is the same as it should be. (written, and read verification) ciculatory redundancy check.
[23:25] <caprea> I was able to do the built-in tool on the installer to check the disk for defects, it is fine. The boot menu is just mislabeled or misleading. Calling my CD drive a USB device
[23:26] <Luija1006> Hello, I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 but the resolution is not the best I can tell... how I can adjust it for my nvidia graphics? Thanks :)
[23:26] <neosimago> caprea: that's probably it then right? verify the bios to boot the way you want it.
[23:27] <neosimago> Luija1006: nvidia-settings
[23:27] <caprea> yep
[23:28] <Luija1006> neosimago: where I can find that option?
[23:28] <liddell> Hello friends! I have a problem here I wonder if anybody might have some insight on: I decided to switch my video card drivers from the default xorg ati one to the fglrx one, and my system started booting straight to a command line. I tried removing the fglrx driver and it gives me some error about not being able to remove it. I am booted into a liveCD right now - I tried the command chroot to try and run synaptic to uninstall fglrx
[23:28] <liddell> and put back the xorg driver on my non-live system but it gives me some error about not being able to fork py. Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks!
[23:28] <neosimago> Luija1006: install it via synaptic
[23:29] <neosimago> Luija1006: or run 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings'
[23:29] <Luija1006> neosimago: I can tell the system changed: before you had to go to hardware drivers and configure it, now you have to install it, pretty interesting :)
[23:30] <Luija1006> neosimago: Just kinda wanted to act like a linux noob this day lol
[23:38] <liddell> Nobody?
[23:38] <liddell> ./Anybody :) ?
[23:43] <CartoonCat> anyone able to help with configuring kms/radeon (wiki says race condition)
[23:46] <caprea> Okay, I have a fresh install of Kubuntu 10 !
[23:47] <caprea> The first thing I notice and would like to fix is multiple monitors, its seems that the 'Display' section identifies two monitors, but its identifying them as the same
[23:47] <caprea> as in: one monitor display both 'DVI 1' and 'DVI 2'
