[00:33] <kaddi> hi, i'm using a laptop and the Fn-keys for brightening and dimming the desktop doesn't work. all the other fn-keys work though. (eg mute, disable touchpad,etc) Anyone know how to fix that?
[00:33] <pauru> I am not sure
[00:34] <pauru> So
[00:34] <pauru> Try this
[00:34] <pauru> 1st of all do you reed me?
[00:34] <pauru> xD
[00:34] <kaddi> yes
[00:34] <pauru> Ok
[00:34] <kaddi> :p
[00:34] <pauru> You are using Linux right?
[00:34] <kaddi> well yeah, kubuntu..
[00:35] <pauru> WOOOW!
[00:35] <pauru> This is so awesome dude!
[00:35] <pauru> You know
[00:35] <kaddi> big surprise, I now
[00:35] <pauru> I am new to the Linux family
[00:35] <kaddi> you know that this is the official support channel for kubuntu?
[00:35] <pauru> Nope
[00:35] <pauru> I had nooo idea
[00:35] <kaddi> ah, well that explains the question :p
[00:35] <pauru> I just opened the program
[00:35] <kaddi> hehe
[00:35] <maco> quassel?
[00:36] <pauru> And i feel really awesome that there are so many people in here using Linux
[00:36] <pauru> Anyway
[00:36] <pauru> Try to add in the panel
[00:36] <pauru> W8
[00:36] <pauru> Let me see
[00:36] <pauru> There should be a "brightness applet"
[00:36] <pauru> Try it
[00:37] <kaddi> maco I'm using konversation, I like it better than quassel :)
[00:38] <maco> the battery applet should let you change brightness if you click on it
[00:38] <maco> kaddi: ive never used it
[00:38] <kaddi> ah, i have the power-guidance-thingie not the regular battery applet.. let me check if I can find the other one
[00:39] <kaddi> pauru I don't see a brightness applet, is it perhaps the battery applet maco mentioned?
[00:40] <pauru> Maybe
[00:40] <epqr> I get no sound in almost all apps
[00:40] <pauru> Let me see
[00:40] <epqr> no sound in firefox, vlc, conqueror
[00:40] <epqr> but i get in Dragon player
[00:43] <pauru> Yeah
[00:43] <pauru> Kaddi
[00:43] <pauru> Maco was right
[00:43] <kaddi> how is that applet called exactly?
[00:44] <maco> *shrug*
[00:44] <pauru> In Ubuntu that i am using (Gnome) it is by the name "Brightness Applet"
[00:44] <pauru> But as i see in Kubuntu
[00:44] <pauru> click on the battery icon in the lower right corner of your screen and then you can adjust the brightness level for each energy mode (AC or battery).
[00:45] <pauru> Or add to the panel the battery applet and then change the brightness
[00:45] <pauru> Try
[00:45] <kaddi> well the thing is, that I uninstalled the default battery applet because I wanted one that only shows battery levels.
[00:46] <kaddi> so if I need to use the default battery applet I also need the name to reinstall ti :/
[00:46] <aboSamoor> I want to ask if it is intended that the updates to kde package overwrite the default display manager configuration file in /etc/X11 to kdm ?

[00:52] <steven_J_M> Hi all  :)
[00:53] <pauru> Hello!!!
[00:53] <pauru> XD
[00:53] <steven_J_M> hi pauru :)
[00:53] <pauru> Hi Steve
[00:54] <pauru> Actually i am new here
[00:54] <pauru> And to the Linux FAmily
[00:54] <pauru> xD
[00:55] <steven_J_M> pauru: me too, I haven't used kubuntu in years
[00:56] <pauru> How long have you been using Linux?
[00:57] <steven_J_M> pauru: about 4 years
=== _thumper_ is now known as thumper
[01:01] <pauru> Wow
[01:01] <pauru> You guys here
[01:01] <pauru> All of you have used Linux distros about 3-4 years
[01:02] <pauru> I am brand new
[01:02] <pauru> Lets say only a month
[01:02] <pauru> xD
[01:02] <kaddi> ok, so i got the battery-applet, the default one, but desktop brightness isn't showing
[01:03] <kaddi> it is also not showing in systemsettings, so I cna't configure it at all
[01:03] <pauru> You can't adjust the brightness?
[01:03] <pauru> Awww damn
[01:03] <pauru> Hmmmm
[01:03] <kaddi> ok, sry, that was stated wrong: I can change brightness, only nothing happens
[01:03] <steven_J_M> pauru: you'll get the hang of it :)
[01:03] <pauru> LoL
[01:04] <pauru> Um
[01:04] <pauru> O thanks Steve

[01:06] <pauru> Oh cool
[01:06] <kaddi> ah, no. that was the 24h disconnect
[01:06] <pauru> Hey how can i change my color and my name too?
[01:07] <kaddi> you can change your nick with /nick command. the color is only in your client and nothing that is transmitted by IRC
[01:07] <kaddi> I see my nick in black only ;)
[01:09] <pauru> Oh
[01:09] <pauru> Let me try then
[01:09] <pauru> "/nick <The new name>"?
[01:09] <kaddi> yes
[01:09] <steven_J_M> here's the output of upgraging the kernel through aptitude, (the security upgrade) can someone please check to see if it went  ok? http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/251667/
[01:10] <kaddi> steven_J_M have you rebooted?
=== pauru is now known as LrdOfNightmares
[01:11] <LrdOfNightmares> Ok Done
[01:11] <LrdOfNightmares> XD
[01:11] <Ingrid> alguem fala portugues? ;]
[01:11] <kaddi> steven_J_M that looks fine to me :)
[01:12] <LrdOfNightmares> What is that Steve?
[01:12] <steven_J_M> kaddi: yes, oddly I have entries for both kernel versions in grub
[01:12] <kaddi> steven_J_M that is normal, you can still boot into the old kernel if you want to.
[01:12] <kaddi> i would also suggest that you keep at least 2 kernels, so that you have a functional in case one gets broken by some kind of update
[01:13] <kaddi> i currently have 4 kernels in my grub list ;)
[01:13] <kaddi> (and that's only because I removed another four a couple of days ago ;) )
[01:13] <LrdOfNightmares> Um
[01:13] <LrdOfNightmares> What is this "Kernel" concept?
[01:14] <kaddi> !pt|Ingrid
[01:14] <ubottu> Ingrid: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado.
[01:15] <kaddi> LrdOfNightmares http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computer_science)
[01:15] <kaddi> :p
[01:16] <LrdOfNightmares> What?
[01:16] <LrdOfNightmares> My name?
[01:16] <LrdOfNightmares> XD
[01:17] <kaddi> that is an explanation what a kernel is, if you click the link
[01:18] <LrdOfNightmares> Oh Ok
[01:18] <LrdOfNightmares> I got it
[01:18] <LrdOfNightmares> :P
[01:18] <LrdOfNightmares> Hey Guys
[01:18] <FloodBotK2> LrdOfNightmares: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:20] <steven_J_M> kaddi: are you sure the upgrade went ok though, because I remember aptitude saying it was removing something and i thought it was trying  to romove the old kernel?
[01:21] <LrdOfNightmares> FloodBotK2 is not a user?
[01:25] <kaddi> no, it's a bot
[01:26] <kaddi> steven_J_M yeah i see that now. I was thinking that you also had 2.6.28-13 in the grub menu. How come you haven't installed 2.6.28-13?
[01:26] <kaddi> But if you already rebooted, you are running the updated kernel, so it should be running fine
[01:27] <LrdOfNightmares> It meant to use this "paste" thing in order to say alot and not use enter bc if i talk2+more times it is called a "flood"?
[01:28] <kaddi> it wants you to use the enter-key as little as possible ;)
[01:29] <LrdOfNightmares> And how do i do that? xD
[01:30] <kaddi> well looking at the warning above in the 4 lines previous to the flood warning you wrote 2 words and hit enter, while you could have posted all of it on one line. The flood warning is a reminder, to keep everything on one line.
[01:31] <LrdOfNightmares> Ok got it, but it showed me a link, what do i use that for?
[01:31] <kaddi> this is done because not everyone has a high resolution, so people may only be able to view 10 lines of chat at a time, if you hit enter after every second word, they will have to do a lot of scrolling to see all the answers
[01:32] <kaddi> ah that one is for another case, sometimes when you have a problem, you need to post large amount of text. Eg the text steven_J_M posted earlier. You are not supposed to post this in the chat directly, but you should post it on the given link, and then only post the link to your information on pastebin
[01:36] <steven_J_M> kaddi: sorry I'll be back after lunch
[01:36] <kaddi> I'll probably be gone then ;)
[01:36] <LrdOfNightmares> Bye Steve it was nice talking to ya, i'll go too soon, cu around

[02:27] <dennister> amason_: sorry, stepped away for a bit; actually, its for a startup nonprofit that uses ubuntu and its derivatives, including kubuntu
[02:29] <dennister> i've been reading this and trying to make some decisions http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/it/help/articles/email/mailman/adminlist
[02:30] <amason_> dennister: the amount of time you spend will be proportional to the number of members in your mailing list
[02:31] <amason_> if you have people maintaining the software etc.. its basically about removing users and making sure that people don't argue too much, make comments that exclude others etc..
[02:31] <amason_> basically just moderating the list to make sure it has the atmosphere you desire
[02:35] <dennister> yeah, I figured the proportionality bit...I also don't want certain lurkers having access until we're incorporated

[04:01] <alexbobp> how do I get amarok 1.4 on the latest kubuntu?
[04:03] <johnpunk> hi I have this question
[04:03] <EagleScreen> alexbobp: why would you do it?
[04:03] <johnpunk> I've just downloaded Firefox 3.5
[04:03] <alexbobp> EagleScreen: because I have a music collection in it?  maybe?
[04:04] <EagleScreen> amarok 2 doesn't support amarok 1.4 collections?
[04:04] <johnpunk> I have it running, but I would like to have it in the application launcher
[04:04] <alexbobp> EagleScreen: nope
[04:04] <johnpunk> how can I add firefox or any other program to the application launcher
[04:04] <EagleScreen> johnpunk: KDE-Menu?
[04:05] <johnpunk> yes
[04:05] <alexbobp> EagleScreen: I want to run amarok 1.4 so I can keep using my mysql database
[04:05] <johnpunk> KDE MENU
[04:05] <FloodBotK2> johnpunk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:05] <narg> Does anyone know if VM software exists to run x86 code on amd64? (I have an application that _really_ doesn't like 64 bit compiles (nor using -m32 with gcc))?
[04:05] <EagleScreen> alexbobp: install it then
[04:05] <alexbobp> EagleScreen: but how do I install it?  When I did the dist upgrade I ended up with amarok 2
[04:05] <EagleScreen> alexbobp: remove amarok2 and look for amarok 1.4 packages
[04:06] <EagleScreen> alexbobp: are you good with packaging management?
[04:06] <EagleScreen> johnpunk: right-click on menu and select Menu Editor
[04:07] <johnpunk> ok EagleScreen
[04:07] <alexbobp> EagleScreen: yeah.  Do I need a ppa or something?
[04:07] <EagleScreen> then johnpunk, add firefox executable path
[04:07] <johnpunk> ok, Understood
[04:07] <johnpunk> I appreciate the help
[04:07] <EagleScreen> alexbobp: if you find any ppa, it would be great for you, if not try downloading from intrepid archive or from Debian archive
[04:09] <EagleScreen> johnpunk: why didn't you install the Firefox package in main repository?
[04:09] <johnpunk> EagleScreen: I didn't use the repository because I wanted to have the last version of firefox
[04:10] <johnpunk> I think I read in the repository a previous version of firefox
[04:10] <johnpunk> But I'm not sure
[04:10] <EagleScreen> johnpunk: you have 3.5 release in repository
[04:11] <EagleScreen> but if you want it in Kubuntu, I recommend you to install it by command "sudo aptitude -R install firefox-3.5" this won't install Gnome stuff
[04:11] <EagleScreen> johnpunk: it is the better way to get Firefox
[04:12] <johnpunk> ok, I'm about to install JAVA JDK, should I use the repository too?
[04:13] <EagleScreen> yes, sure
[04:13] <johnpunk> is that the best way of installing software for kubuntu
[04:13] <EagleScreen> repository is the best way to install software, and the best way to uninstall it cleanly later
[04:13] <johnpunk> ok let me look for the JDK
[04:14] <EagleScreen> johnpunk: you may want to install sun-java6-jdk package
[04:15] <johnpunk> yes i see the package now
[04:16] <johnpunk> that's a good advice because I was about to download and install the jdk manually
[04:17] <EagleScreen> on Ubuntu and Debian-based Linux, it is not necessary to install almost anything manually
[04:19] <johnpunk> there's a big repository

[04:58] <tuxwulf> vincent: about (k)ubuntu, yes
[05:00] <UnbNJ> cool. ok, I have what I'm sure is a very stupid problem. I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, and when I reboot after installing the driver for my  geforce 4 460 I get a milky screen. I've looked into it, and what seems to work is adding a line to the xorg.conf, but I don't know how to edit the file
[05:00] <UnbNJ> if I open it in the text editor it says I don't have permission to save and doesn't give me an access window.
[05:03] <tuxwulf> UnbNJ: You're the same as vincent? Well, what I would do is open a terminal and do sudo kate <file>
[05:03] <tuxwulf> I think that should work
[05:04] <UnbNJ> yep, same as vincent
[05:04] <UnbNJ> ok, lemme try.
[05:06] <UnbNJ> kate command not found
[05:06] <tuxwulf> Ah. How about kedit?
[05:07] <UnbNJ> not found. tried edit and got this:
[05:07] <UnbNJ> ~$ sudo edit /etc/xorg.conf
[05:07] <UnbNJ> Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/xorg.conf" -- using "application/octet-stream"

[05:08] <UnbNJ> hmm
[05:08] <tuxwulf> I forget which is the default plain text editor in kubuntu... YOu can do nano instead of kedit but that is not graphical
[05:08] <UnbNJ> oh that might work
[05:08] <tuxwulf> (Besides, I thought xorg.conf is in /etc/X11 ...?)
[05:09] <UnbNJ> dammit, yea it is
[05:09] <UnbNJ> just realized that
[05:10] <tuxwulf> ok... Hope it works out. I am in my lunch hour now, so good luck...

[06:45] <ScottK-laptop> Don't run dolphin as root to start with.

[10:28] <Newbee> hello everybody
[10:30] <Newbee> I have switched from frglrx (because I had freezes all the time) to radeonhd. It works so far, even comositing is working with the help of xrander. But the performance is poor und xorg eats about 50% of my cpu all the time. Is there something I can do to improve radeonhds performance or is there a better (working) alternative?
[10:30] <Riddell> bialix: done

[11:53] <bob___> hi, I'm having problems with pinning a package; specifically wine. I edited /etc/apt/preferences and added the format with package: wine, pin: 1.0.0-2. but apt still wants to update to new version.
[11:54] <bob___> dpkg -p wine reveals the version to be: 1.0.0-2eitri1
[11:54] <bob___> i tried the whole thing, that is: 1.0.0-2eitri1 and 1.0.0-2, but neither works :(

[14:12] <Wrekk> greetings
[14:13] <Wrekk> anything I should think of when I changing from GNOME to KDE 4.3?
[14:13] <frost_> yes
[14:14] <frost_> use mozilla :)
[14:14] <Wrekk> ok.....
[14:14] <Wrekk> hehe
[14:14] <frost_> i just changed
[14:14] <Tm_T> frost_: that has nothing to do with KDE/GNOME (:
[14:14] <frost_> now i cant get either mozilla or konqueror to run java
[14:14] <frost_> i know. but it still messed it up for me :) Tm_T
[14:15] <Wrekk> no need to remove any packages and shit? ... they can live side by side in harmony... so to speak? :)
[14:15] <Tm_T> Wrekk: no need to remove anything (and please watch out our language)
[14:15] <frost_> The only thing i would say is a problem Wrekk is that i have actually run into a few bugs in KDE 4.3 just minor desktop bug like. graphic messing up for a short while, or programs shutting down graphicly, but still stay in my process window
[14:16] <Tm_T> frost_: using Karmic?
[14:16] <frost_> Tm_T: not that i know of
[14:16] <frost_> what is it ?
[14:17] <Tm_T> 9.10 release, currently in development
=== LadyWuss is now known as LadyNikon
[14:17] <frost_> no. im on 04
[14:17] <Wrekk> frost_: ok, thanx :)
[14:18] <frost_> after 2 days of use i have to say its very nice
[14:18] <frost_> exept for this silly thing about not getting java to work in konqueror
[14:18] <frost_> every guide i encounter is different, and the result is the same. no java
[14:19] <Tm_T> Wrekk: and look closely if the KDE installation tries to remove something, it shouldn't but...
[14:19] <Wrekk> kk
[14:20] <frost_> ohh. btw Wrekk. There is one difference if you upgrade from gnome to KDE. your old terminal is not working anymore, and you have to use konsole
[14:20] <Tm_T> frost_: it does work
[14:20] <Tm_T> or atleast should
[14:21] <frost_> does not
[14:21] <frost_> atleast for me after upgrade
[14:21] <Tm_T> how it doesn't work?
[14:21] <Wrekk> ok, byt its about the same I guess.
[14:22] <frost_> you still have the shortcut for "Terminal" gnome-terminal, but that wont start, it just loads for a while then dissapear. But if you run "konsole" you get a terminal but not the same as you had before. it looks a lil different but works the same way
[14:23] <Tm_T> frost_: I wonder what happens there, like to try run "gnome-terminal" in konsole?
[14:23] <frost_> Thats on my home-pc, which i upgraded from gnome to KDE. im now at the office where i did a clean kubuntu install and i do not have the gnome-terminal links anymore, but the konsole is there as it should
[14:24] <frost_> not like that Tm_T, if you run the link from desktop/menu or if you try start it using alt+f2
[14:24] <frost_> I didnt try it through konsole since I learned about console while trying to get my gnome-terminal to run
[14:25] <frost_> konsole*
[14:25] <Tm_T> frost_: yes, but I wonder if that app can be run at all or is it just launcher issue
[14:25] <frost_> you able to check it out on your box now ?
[14:25] <Wrekk> is there alot stuff like that... you will have shortcuts that wont work anymore
[14:25] <Wrekk> ?
[14:25] <Tm_T> well it all works just fine here and every system I have used
[14:25] <Tm_T> Wrekk: should be none
[14:25] <frost_> yes wrekk
[14:26] <frost_> lol
[14:26] <Wrekk> ok :)
[14:26] <frost_> we aparently had different experiences Tm_T
[14:26] <Wrekk> I'll just take that as a Maybe, then? :)
[14:26] <frost_> :)
[14:26] <Tm_T> frost_: smells like you have your own issues there that cannot be generalised
[14:26] <Tm_T> Wrekk: if something that shouldn't happen, happens
[14:26] <Wrekk> Tm_T: oki :)
[14:27] <frost_> I have even a more silly problem, I cant rename or change icons to my desktop folder links because of some owner issue or whatnot. I tried chmod, but im still no closer
[14:27] <Tm_T> frost_: aww, so it's definately your own issue, not general issue (:
[14:27] <frost_> a sudo rename command should have fixed it
[14:27] <Tm_T> does not
[14:28] <frost_> this is only for the renaming Tm_T, an d that thing is both at office box and home box
[14:28] <Tm_T> frost_: you have run some gui apps as root then?
[14:28] <Tm_T> or with "sudo"
[14:28] <frost_> not that i know of, but it might have been from gnome, then when it was upgraded something happend or something
[14:28] <Tm_T> perhaps yes
[14:28] <frost_> any way to get around it ?
[14:29] <frost_> becuase as i said it happened on my home upgraded version, and on the fhoresh kubuntu install at work
[14:29] <frost_> fresh*
[14:31] <Tm_T> so you might have done the same mistake on both systems, do "ls -alR ~/ | grep root | wc -l" in konsole
[14:32] <Tm_T> hi SuoVainaja
[14:32] <frost_> Tm_T:  the asnwer is 2
[14:33] <Tm_T> frost_: hmm, then that's not the issue
[14:33] <Tm_T> I wonder what permission issues you have
[14:33] <frost_> what did i just get the asnwer to ?
[14:34] <Tm_T> frost_: how many lines containing "root" is in your home folder listing, recursive
[14:34] <frost_> I do really mean answer* I have a unsyncronized set of hands.
[14:34] <Wrekk> 40 less then then meaning of life :P
[14:34] <frost_> Tm_T:  thanks
[14:34] <bardamu> hello what is the manager for apt-get ?
[14:34] <maco> kpackagekit
[14:35] <Tm_T> frost_: if it had larger number, there would have been files owned or named as root too many (:
[14:35] <frost_> 40 less than the meaning of life, but atleast 2 pages written of oolon k.
[14:35] <frost_> Tm_T:  I see
[14:36] <frost_> Tm_T: So my issue with ownerrights is here to stay ?

[14:39] <maco> bardamu: huh? search for the package and click the icon to the right of its name
[14:39] <Tm_T> Wrekk: ofcourse, if you find any issues, ask around and if needed, bugs should be reported (:

[14:57] <noaXess> hi all
[14:58] <mieeman> im having sound problem
[14:58] <mieeman> how can fix this?
[14:58] <mieeman> tnx.
[14:59] <suit> have you tried the 'fixsound' command? It fixes all sound problems.
[14:59] <mieeman> not yet
[14:59] <mieeman> ok i'll try
[15:00] <suit> I'm just messing with you. What i was getting at is that you should elaborate a little further. First...What IS your sound problem?
[15:00] <suit> It's tough to help you without further information. There are alot of possible problems and solutions
[15:00] <mieeman> there is no sound at all
[15:00] <mieeman> when i play movie, no sound coming out
[15:01] <suit> Since installing Kubuntu?
[15:01] <suit> Or did that happen recently
[15:01] <mieeman> yup
[15:01] <mieeman> since installing kubuntu
[15:01] <suit> try the following:
[15:02] <suit> sudo aptitude install phonon kubuntu-restricted-extras vlc
[15:02] <suit> or, wait.
[15:02] <suit> sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade && sudo aptitude install phonon kubuntu-restricted-extras vlc
[15:02] <mieeman> even system sound is gone
[15:03] <victor__> hello
[15:03] <suit> It could be as simple as opening KMixer (a click on the volume indicator in the task bar), configure channels to show up and play around a little
[15:03] <mieeman> i already did that
[15:04] <suit> I have to do that aswell every time I install Kubuntu
[15:04] <suit> Do you have onboard sound or a sound card?
[15:04] <mieeman> onboard sound
[15:05] <mieeman> on my laptop
[15:05] <suit> Oh, a laptop.
[15:05] <suit> Hmm.
[15:05] <mieeman> I already installed it once and it;s ok
[15:05] <suit> And you're using the laptop speakers i suppose?
[15:05] <mieeman> but when i reformat
[15:05] <suit> The inbuilt ones?
[15:05] <mieeman> no sound all
[15:06] <mieeman> yup
[15:06] <suit> I recently set up my girlfriends notebook w/ Kubuntu and ran into some problems as well
[15:06] <suit> First off in alsamixer I had to uncheck 'External Amplifier' which was, oddly enough, enabled by default
[15:07] <suit> You can do that in KMixer aswell
[15:07] <suit> And then I found out that for some odd reason the sound data didn't reach the laptop speakers. Plugging in some headphones did the trick, but to this day she still didn't get the speakers to work
[15:08] <suit> Plus, strangely, it worked with Intrepid. The problems came with Jaunty
[15:08] <mieeman> i think my kubuntu release is 8.04
[15:09] <suit> I'd recommend to plug in some sort of headphones or external speakers just to zero in on the problem.
[15:09] <suit> I gotta go now, sorry.. but good luck :)
[15:09] <mieeman> ok
[15:09] <mieeman> i use also external speakers
[15:11] <noaXess> sorry for this question here, but if you know anything about it, send me to the information: i'm searching for a website submissione software that runns under linux/kde/kubuntu.. any idea?
[15:14] <meisterlumpi> Hi, I'm trying to login my keyring automaticlly, but i can only find how tos for gnome
[15:15] <meisterlumpi> anyone knows a tutorial on how to do this for kde?
[15:19] <jussi01> noaXess: website submission software?
[15:20] <noaXess> jussi01: yes.. sorry for this question here... but i'm searching for- and backward google... found just link-assistant.com but they have just SEO tools.. not for submission..

[15:21] <EagleScreen> since Intrepid, Bluetooth works very bad in Kubuntu
[15:22] <miasma> I know I'll probably get a bit biased opinion here, but do you recommend installing kubuntu instead of debian. I managed to break my debian by updating libc and am now considering alternatives
[15:23] <EagleScreen> miasma: libc6 needs to be updates very carefully
[15:23] <miasma> indeed :S
[15:23] <miasma> I'm currently in a state where maybe 25% of apps just segfault
[15:24] <EagleScreen> miasma: what did you do with your libc6?
[15:25] <miasma> EagleScreen: I installed one package that expected libc6. I had libc-bin or something installed. after forcing the installation of the new lib, it just broke
[15:25] <miasma> I managed to get some .so files back from a backup partition
[15:26] <miasma> e.g. does the policykit configuration work better in kubuntu. in debian the default settings forbid things like mounting usb media and shutting down the gui desktop
[15:26] <EagleScreen> miasma: go to #debian to talk about that problem
[15:26] <miasma> EagleScreen: yea, I didn't want to start it here. just wanted to ask something about kubuntu
[15:27] <EagleScreen> miasma: there not good support of policykit in Debian yet
[15:27] <miasma> but in kubuntu?
[15:28] <EagleScreen> in Kubuntu I think that only kpackagekit use policykit by the momment
[15:28] <miasma> oh
[15:28] <EagleScreen> the rest of applications keep using kdesudo
[15:28] <miasma> even in kde4?
[15:29] <EagleScreen> yes even in kde4
[15:29] <EagleScreen> miasma: did you use KDE 3 or KDE 4 in Debian?
[15:29] <miasma> kde 4.2
[15:30] <EagleScreen> testing or unstable?
[15:30] <miasma> I had a mixture of both packages
[15:30] <miasma> basically upgrading kde was a mess. I guess it's a bit easier in kubuntu
[15:31] <miasma> e.g. I don't think they have a working set of kde 4.3 packages for debian yet
[15:31] <EagleScreen> KDE 4.3 packages are in Debian Sid now
[15:31] <reya276> Can anyone help me start KDE 4.3 on Ubuntu? everything is installed, but the darn thing takes for ever to load the desktop and nothing can be access
[15:32] <EagleScreen> miasma: can you read reya276 comment?
[15:32] <miasma> yea
[15:32] <EagleScreen> updating extra official KDE in kubuntu also can cause problems
[15:32] <miasma> ok :/
[15:34] <reya276> EagleScreen: no I'm running Kubuntu, what I did was just install the KDE 4.3 desktop from the Kubuntu-ppa, at home this works great but here at the office is horrible because although KDE loads it takes for ever to do so and when it does it is slower than a snail
[15:34] <reya276> EagleScreen: sorry I meant that I'm running Ubuntu not Kubuntu
[15:34] <miasma> reya276: are you sure your X display drivers are ok?
[15:35] <EagleScreen> reya276: which ppa did you use and did you install kubuntu-desktop package?
[15:35] <reya276> miasma:  I'm using the non-proprietary ATI drivers as the proprietary ones seemed to be an issue even with Gnome
[15:36] <reya276> EagleScreen: the one from launchpad.net
[15:36] <EagleScreen> reya276: you must use this: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main
[15:37] <reya276> at one point the whole thing started fine, then like a dumb ass I went into effects and enabled wobbly windows and that crapped the whole thing
[15:37] <reya276> EagleScreen: that is the same one I'm using
[15:38] <EagleScreen> reya276: changing desktop effects configuration?
[15:38] <reya276> so there has got to be a config file that is messing the whole thing up, is there a way to clear out the KDE config and start from scratch without having to remove KDE?
[15:38] <EagleScreen> yes, remove directory ~/.kde
[15:39] <Pliskin> remove the .kde folder ?
[15:39] <rosco_y> reya276: it's a hard lesson: if it works, don't fix it (I have a real problem with that philosophy too)
[15:39] <EagleScreen> miasma: a downgrade of your libc6, or a full upgrade to unstable may fix your problems
[15:40] <reya276> EagleScreen: yes at first KDE started fine, then I went into the desktop effects and enabled wobbly windows and that messed everything up as the system froze then after I rebooted the darn thing, said I'm going into snail mode, LOL
[15:40] <EagleScreen> remove .kde in your home folder
[15:40] <reya276> right now I'm in Gnome, can I remove the ./kde dir from here?
[15:40] <EagleScreen> yes you can
[15:41] <reya276> ok let me try that, thanks
[15:42] <miasma> EagleScreen: I'm not sure it's worth it. apt-get can't even run some of its tools cause those are broken. I'll just probably download a new installer, wish it works and reinstall everything (and upgrade to amd64 packages at the same go)
[15:42] <Bryan> is there a better bluetooth manager than the default KDE one that anyone could recommend?
[15:43] <EagleScreen> Bryan: will gnome applet work well in kubuntu? and will it install a lot of Gnome stuff?
[15:44] <Bryan>  Doesn't seem to install a lot of gnome stuff; but that might be because I have some GTK applications.
[15:44] <Bryan> And the gnome bluetooth-applet is not much better. (I like the KDE one much more TBH)
[15:45] <EagleScreen> Bryan: KDE3 applet may works better, but i dont know if it is still installable

[16:31] <Bryan> It's not a bluetooth issue
[16:31] <Bryan> It's a File Manager issue >_>
[16:31] <Bryan> Since dolphin can't seem to do Obex.
[16:31] <shadeslayer> Bryan: ah,browsing files on a bluetooth device?
[16:31]  * Bryan nods

[16:38] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: When it doesn give an error the command completed successfully

[16:40] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: Success then
[16:40] <LrdOfNightmares> So what do i do now?
[16:40] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: You might want to make it executable.eg:    sudo chmod +x filename
[16:41] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: Then try running the that Code::Blocks    thing again
[16:42] <Bryan> wangyuan, if you're not using KDE, then you should probably be in #ubuntu . If you don't know what KDE is, you should still probably be in #Ubuntu :P

[16:59] <kwk> Hi I need help. i I have installed 64 Bit ubuntu on 64 bit machine. It works fine. Now I want to also have KDE. Therefore I installed the kubuntu packages. Installation worked well and my system boots me into kdm. But when trying to log into a kde session the kde4 start window appears and after about three seconds, the screen gets dark and I am returned to the kdm login screen. How can I find out what the error ist?
=== Guest63461 is now known as Caerbannog
[16:59] <Caerbannog> hello everybody))
[17:00] <LrdOfNightmares> http://paste.ubuntu.com/252007/
[17:00] <bvalek2> kwk: your x-server gets reststarted, but i cant tell why
[17:01] <kwk> bvalek2: I restarted X and even rebooted.
[17:01] <Caerbannog> kwk, maybe you should boot to console and remove ~/.kde4 folder. this helps if the problem is in wrong configuration
[17:02] <kwk> Caerbannog: I'll rename it to DOTkde4 if that's ok for you ;)
[17:02] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: I think I see what your problem is. You don try to execute code written in C. You compile it to an object file, then run that.
[17:02] <kwk> see you after reboot
[17:03] <Caerbannog> <kwk>, if you want to rename it, rename to smth like "_.kde4"
[17:03] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: Make sure you have package called build-essential installed. Then to compile .c code use gcc
[17:04] <kaddi> am i the only one unable to log into icq or are you having similar problems?
[17:05] <LrdOfNightmares> genii: How do i look if i have it instaled?
[17:05] <emedril> hi all, can anybody help me with the icq-login with kopeten 0.12.7 on kubuntu hardy ?
[17:06] <kaddi> emedril are you also unable to log into icq?
[17:06] <emedril> kaddi:  yes
[17:07] <kaddi> emedril me too, but I think it might be the icq server and not kopete. I was online and got logged off all of a sudden, now I'm unable to log back in. I have tried icq2go.com but it doesn't recognize my password :/
[17:07] <Dragnslcr> kaddi- ICQ and AIM have been a bit flaky the past couple days
[17:07] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: Check with your package manager. In this case should be kpackagekit, which is found under System
[17:08] <kaddi> Dragnslcr thanks... so nothing I can do but sit and wait. :/ Why does this kind of thing always happen in the middle of important discussions?
[17:08] <kaddi> :p
[17:08] <genii> LrdOfNightmares: Alternately in commandline use like: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy build-essential
[17:08] <Dragnslcr> Heh
[17:08] <emedril> kaddi: im think too, but for a couple of month was the same procedure, then edit the kopeterc file und the login was good
[17:10] <kaddi> emedril try an alternative program to see if the problem lies with kopete. But as i am unable to login with icq2go as well, I strongly suspect the problem is with the ICQ servers and not kopete
[17:11] <emedril> kaddi: now i use pidgin, but i think kopete was better for me.. ;-)
[17:11] <kwk> renaming didn't work
[17:11] <kaddi> I'm bak online as well :)

[17:29] <mni> i want to start programming with C++
[17:29] <LrdOfNightmares> mni:Me too
[17:29] <mni> using Qt
[17:29] <mni> and am using kubuntu as my OS
[17:30] <kaddi_> mni afaik all you need is an editor to write your source code in and a compiler to get the code into a program. I haven't worked with qt though
[17:30] <mni> good lrdOfnightmares:we are two
[17:30] <mni> ok
[17:30] <kaddi_> as a compiler I use gcc, which I think comes preinstalled on kubuntu
[17:31] <kaddi_> just check if gcc is a recognized command in terminal
[17:31] <mni> kaddi:pls recommend a good editor for me
[17:31] <mni> how can i locate it on mu kubuntu?
[17:31] <LrdOfNightmares> mni: I like to Use Code::Blocks, but i have problems with This IDE editor in Ubuntu,
[17:31] <kaddi_> mni I have used kate as a graphical editor or VI in the past, though I haven't done any real programming lately
[17:32] <mni> ok
[17:32] <LrdOfNightmares> kaddi_ can you tell us how to install code::blocks? its a nice editor
[17:32] <kaddi_> mni locate what? the terminal? press alt+f2 and type "konsole" and hit enter
[17:32] <kaddi_> sudo apt-get install codeblocks?
[17:33] <mni> i will expolore the kate

[17:34] <Catspiritone> Hi, I was wondering what video drivers I should be using. I have a Radeon 4890.
[17:35] <kaddi_> LrdOfNightmares you need to compile that into a program before you can execute it
[17:35] <LrdOfNightmares> kaddi_:  How am i gona do that?
[17:35] <kaddi_> I think you need to do something like gcc -o executablename nameofyourfile and then execute the executable file. But I'm a bit rusty myself, I'm sure other people could tell you better
[17:36] <kaddi_> mni type "gcc --version" into konsole what does it say?
[17:37] <mni> ok i got this message:gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11) 4.3.2
[17:38] <kaddi_> mni then gcc is installed and you have a working compiler on your system :)
[17:38] <mni> correct that means i can enter class now?
[17:38] <mni> and start how to learn C++?
[17:39] <LrdOfNightmares> mni: i could recomend a site for C++ http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
[17:39] <kaddi_> mni yes, but they should also offer a choice of editors and compilers and explain the basics in my opinion
[17:41] <mni> cool and thanks to you all

[18:06] <rk> kde 4.2, kopete 0.70.2
[18:06] <rk> kde 4.2.2

[18:06] <shadeslayer> rk: hmm,have you tried upgrading to 4.2.4 or 4.3 and reproduced the problem?
[18:07] <rk> "there was a connection error authenticating the server"

[18:07] <rk> ok will try that, thank you

[18:07] <rk> no
[18:08] <rk> what server should i use, i still use 5223

[18:08] <rk> i did those steps exactly

[18:09] <rk> it works! the first time and if i exit kopete and restart it, it gives me the server error
[18:09] <rk> ok will upgrade to kde 4.3

[19:49] <mostafa> hello all how could I create an application that run it by typing the name of it in Alt+F2
[19:49] <mostafa> plzz
[19:49] <Mamarok> mostafa: you mean "and run it"?
[19:50] <Mamarok> mostafa: to create an application you will need to learn to code, but most of the necessary applications are already available in the repositories
[19:50] <mostafa> yeah I wanna run it
[19:51] <Mamarok> mostafa: well, type Alt+F2 and type the name of the application you want to run in the field, it will show up beneath if it exists
[19:51] <mostafa> Mamarok: I write a shell script and made it to executable form and when I click on it, it acts as well
[19:52] <mostafa> now I want that shell application to run by Alt+F2
[19:53] <mostafa> Mamarok: Am I clear bro?
[19:53] <Mamarok> mostafa: oh, but you will need to make an executable of it, or lauch it with ./name in Alt+F2 then, as Alt+F2 is not meant for shell scripts
[19:53] <Mamarok> it's meant for GUI applications, or for actions tied to GUI aplications
[19:55] <Mamarok> mostafa: also it would need to be in a known path, else you need to type the whole path in it, too
[19:55] <mostafa> Mamarok: you mean that it is impossible to create an application like the ones in our repository of kubuntu?
[19:55] <Sevis> Mostafa - put it in /usr/bin
[19:55] <Sevis> /usr/bin/*
[19:55] <Mamarok> mostafa: of course it is possible, but see what I said above
[19:56] <mostafa> I put it there already
[19:56] <mostafa> but nothing happends
[19:56] <Sevis> Does the script run fine otherwise?
[19:56] <Mamarok> mostafa: and it is executable and you have the right to execute it?

[20:06] <brad777> Mamarok, thanks anyways though
[20:06] <Mamarok> brad777: try asking in #kde, there are more developer eyes :)
[20:07] <mostafa> neither full address nor executable file doesn't act
[20:07] <Sevis> Mostafa, who is the owner, and what are the permissions?
[20:08] <mostafa> I copy the shell executable script into /usr/bin/ then
[20:09] <hasanhabibi> Mamarok: im from #kde-ir persian team :P
[20:09] <mostafa> the owner is root and the permission is read and write
[20:09] <mostafa> hasanhabibi: me 2
[20:09] <mostafa> :D
[20:09] <hasanhabibi> mostafa: :D
[20:10] <hasanhabibi> mostafa: come on #kde-ir :P
[20:10] <Sevis> Mostafa: set it to 777, please.
[20:10] <hasanhabibi> :d
[20:10] <mostafa> hasanhabibi: for sure ;)
[20:11] <Mamarok> guys, please stay on topic, discussion ins in #kubuntu-offtopic
[20:12] <mostafa> Sevis: I do that but again no use
[20:12] <mostafa> :(
[20:13] <Sevis> mostafa - what is the script supposed to do?
=== InternetExplorer is now known as DirectX
[20:14] <mostafa> Sevis: the easy way I could say is for example:
[20:15] <mostafa> Sevis: just one line "kdesudo konqueror"
[20:16] <Sevis> mostafa: Hm. I'm guessing it might have trouble connecting to the X-server... But seems unlikely.
[20:17] <mostafa> you can check it I've done it often
[20:19] <Sevis> mostafa: just tested, works fine.
[20:19] <mostafa> Sevis: do you check it bro ? just create text and type "kdesudo konqueror" in it then save it as .sh file
[20:19] <mostafa> ok very nice
[20:19] <Sevis> You don't need to call it a .sh file, you know.
[20:20] <mostafa> you mean you can test it by Alt+F2?
[20:21] <Sevis> mostafa: Yes. With 777 permissions, it works no matter who owns it, and no matter what it's called. Here, that is.
=== DirectX is now known as mfc80
=== mfc80 is now known as mfc80_dll
[20:22] <mostafa> what do you type in Alt+F2 ?
[20:22] <mostafa> Sevis: can you tell me?
[20:22] <Sevis> mostafa: In my case: tempthing, or tempthing.sh
[20:22] <Sevis> (Yeah, I'm a little lazy with names...)
=== mfc80_dll is now known as mscrash_dll
[20:24] <mostafa> excuse me to say it again but I have 2 questions 1: what did you type in your file 2: What did you type in Alt+F2?
[20:24] <Sevis> mostafa: one second, please.
=== mscrash_dll is now known as con
[20:26] <mostafa> Sevis: hehe ok np bro
=== con is now known as JamesStorm
[20:26] <Sevis> Make a file called "tempthing", where you put "#!/bin/bash", then a blank line, then "kdesudo konqueror"
[20:27] <Ky|e> I got a fresh install of ubuntu
[20:27] <Ky|e> How would I go about gettin kde with network manager with it
[20:27] <Ky|e> last time I tried got kde but no network manager
[20:30] <Sevis> mostafa: Make a file called "tempthing", where you put "#!/bin/bash", then a blank line, then "kdesudo konqueror"
[20:30] <mostafa> Sevis: ok man
=== JamesStorm is now known as hijax
[20:30] <Sevis> mostafa: then run 'sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/tempthing', 'sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/tempthing'
[20:31] <Sevis> mostafa: then try running with alt+f2.
[20:31] <mostafa> Sevis: ok
[20:33] <mostafa> Sevis: no need to copy it to /usr/bin?
=== hijax is now known as openjdk
[20:36] <mostafa> Sevis: very nice of you man thnx
=== openjdk is now known as djdarkman
[20:38] <mostafa> Sevis: then another question can I have an icon assigned to this file which I had created when I type it at Alt+F2 panel the icon apears ?
[20:38] <Sevis> Mostafa: Sorry, I assumed you'd create it directly in /usr/bin/ to avoid clutter.
[20:38] <mostafa> can I?
[20:38] <Sevis> Mostafa: No idea, never tried.
[20:39] <mostafa> anyhow thanks for your cooperation bro
[20:39] <mostafa> :-*
[20:41] <mostafa> Sevis: can you tell me the first line #!/usr/bin
[20:41] <mostafa> Sevis: what does it do?>
[20:42] <Sevis> mostafa: '#!/bin/bash'
[20:42] <Sevis> mostafa: It explains which shell should be used.
[20:42] <mostafa> oh sorry yeah
[20:42] <mostafa> and "#!" is always the same?
[20:42] <Sevis> Pretty sure that's the case, yes.
[20:43] <mostafa> excuse me can you tell me how many shells do we have and name some of them? plz
[20:45] <Sevis> Mostafa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computing)
[20:48] <mostafa> Sevis: Thnx

[20:53] <mostafa> Sevis: can you show me an Ebook for learning the shell programming?
[20:53] <Sevis> Mostafa: not got any lying around.
[20:54] <mostafa> Sevis: can you guide me how to learn a little?
[20:54] <Sevis> Mostafa: I'm not experienced with shell programming, I would suggest you find an IRC channel on it, or an eBook.

[21:22] <fg56lx> I'm having some problems with sound. When ever I listen to music for any length of time (in any media player) the sound skips and glitches frequently. I know its not the files that have the problem as ive played them numerous times with no problems. Its not the hardware becuase it didnt do it when i got it (windows was on it) it worked with ubuntu for a few months just fine untill it started doing this, and sound runs fine from a live cd. I'v
[21:22] <fg56lx>  using the default engine, as well as pluseaudio, and they both do the same thing. CPU usage is also not high while this skipping is occuring. Ive also reinstalled twice, and it still does it. What would cause this to happen, and how can I fix it?

[23:42] <kub1> The "Canonical Supported Open Source SW (main)" repository is 'unchecked' - ie, not enabled - in the KPackageKit > Setings > Software Sources > KUbuntu sw, in my recently installed KU 904 system.  That must be improper, true?? Perhaps I accidentally & unknowingly unchecked it.  It is proper that that should be "checked"/(ie set to install), right?  Absolutely no doubt about that, correct?

[23:49] <kaddi> kub1 it is checked on my system.  But I do not believe that it has to be checked for ubuntu to work. You do get more available software by using it, but it is non-essential for ubuntu to run
[23:50] <epqr> I get sound in almost no apps
[23:50] <epqr> so far ive only gexperienced sound in amarok and dragon player
[23:51] <epqr> apps that don't get sound is konqueror, vlc and firefox
[23:51] <Dragnslcr> kub1- you definitely want the main repository enabled. That's where most of the basic software comes from
[23:52] <kub1> kaddi: thx :)  - do you know where/how I can find out what packages the "main" repository supplies? A url?  I couldn't find that info myself at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ nor http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  - Any suggestions??
[23:53] <kub1> Dragnslcr: thx :)  - do you know where/how I can find out what packages the "main" repository supplies? A url?  I couldn't find that info myself at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ nor http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  - Any suggestions??
[23:54] <Mamarok> kub1: main has the very basic stuff, like kernel + X + the basic desktops
[23:54] <Dragnslcr> Not offhand, but it's easy to get which repository a given package is in
[23:55] <Mamarok> kub1: and you really need the main repository, else you can't use the distro
[23:55] <Mamarok> kub1: but if you want to know in what particular repository a package is ask with 'aptitude search ypackagename>'
[23:55] <Mamarok> <packagename> even, without the <> of course :)
[23:58] <kub1> Dragnslcr: Mamarok thx, yes, but  "package > repository" is backwards from what I want to know. ;)  Any idea on how to find out "repository(main) > list of all packages"?
[23:59] <Dragnslcr> kub1- http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ has links at the bottom for a full package list, which includes the repository each package comes from
