[00:13] <Thioka> Hi everyone,  Tomorrow this ( ---->http://blogs.kde.org/node/4491<----) will end and KDE will lose the opportunity to win 1000 euros. You can vote even though you're not from Germany. Spend some of your time, you can vote three times. If you like KDE support it. Have a nice day.
[00:38] <Daskreech> Thioka: thanks :)

[01:39] <level15> hi all. where did aurorae go in 11.10?
[01:41] <Tech-1> maybe you could point me in the right direction - i uninstalled xserver-xorg .. and reinstalled it, everything works but my music player launchers, when i click them, it takes the system to log in status, something is missing and i don't know what
[01:44] <Snowhog> Tech-1: When you say 'takes the system to log in status', do you mean you are taken out of your desktop back to the KDM login screen?
[01:45] <Tech-1> when i click on any music launcher it logs out and logs back in..
[01:46] <level15> is anyone using aurorae decoration?
[01:46] <Tech-1> if i knew what it took out while doing the purg xserver-xorg i could replace it..
[01:49] <Tech-1> this may do it again, if so, ill brb
[01:50] <Snowhog> Tech-1: You can see if reinstalling kubuntu-desktop (you are running Kubuntu, yes? I won't assume just because you are here.).
[01:50] <Snowhog> does the trick for you.
[01:55] <Daskreech> level15: where did you get it before?
[01:55] <Daskreech> hi bigbrovar_
[01:56] <level15> Daskreech: I didn't, I saw a post about getting it for kde 4.3 but not for any newer versions
[01:56] <level15> DarkriftX: but now i got it, thanks... it turns out i already had it and didn't know :-)
[01:56] <Daskreech> level15: :-)

[04:24] <JoeSomebody> hi, does ubuntu home support cover kubuntu?  the kubuntu website takes me to ubuntu when i try to get docs ...
[04:25] <JoeSomebody> and, where are kubuntu docs?
[04:25] <Kimlaroux> it's the same thing, only kubuntu uses KDE
[04:25] <Kimlaroux> Ubunty used Gnomes, now it uses Unity
[04:26] <Kimlaroux> but for core system doc, it's the same thing
[04:26] <JoeSomebody> ok, but so when i need kde specific assistance, what is best?
[04:26] <Kimlaroux> either kubuntu or kde

[05:52] <saravana> how to run an .exe file in kubuntu 11.10..
[05:55] <saravana> can i use wine ?????????
[05:55] <Resistance> yes you can use wine.  but make sure the .exe has execute permissions
[05:55] <Resistance> (i.e. chmod +x /path/to/executable )
[05:56] <saravana> Resistance: k
[05:57] <saravana> how to install wine
[05:57] <Resistance> saravana:  apt-get install wine?
[05:57] <Resistance> er
[05:57] <Resistance> saravana:  sudo apt-get install wine
[05:57] <Resistance> in terminal
[05:58] <bigbrovar> Saravana : a better approach would be to ask if there is any Linux alternative to the exe windows app u want to install.  Linux by default does not support exe or windows application. Wine support is a third party solution whuvh has varying degree of success
[05:59] <CQ> hello, I dont see the sound and multimedia configuration anywhere (not in system settings, not under multimedia in the kmenu) ... any ideas on where it went??
[05:59] <CQ> ...or even better, how to get it back!
[05:59] <bigbrovar> Even then the end result won't work as well as the app did in windows or work as well as a Linux alternative might have
[06:00] <saravana> Resistance: downloading started
[06:00] <CQ> saravana: thought aboutusing virtualbox? you can use it in seamless mode, meaning you can have a windows guest and the windows windows will be on the linux desktop like the others
[06:00] <saravana> bigbrovar: u know any softwares like that
[06:02] <saravana> CQ: thanks
[06:02] <bigbrovar> Any software like what? The nky software that allows u to install windows app is wine. But u would be better served finding if they is a Linux alternative to the windows software u intend on installing
[06:06] <saravana> while i tried to instal virtual box it says another application is in use
[06:07] <saravana> CQ what to do now
[06:12] <bigbrovar> saravana: thats probably because wine is still being installed
[06:13] <saravana> bigbrovar: i closed the terminal unknowingly while its downloading
[06:14] <bigbrovar> saravana: open another terminal and do a apt-get install -f
[06:15] <saravana> get install what bigbrovar
[06:18] <bigbrovar> saravana: sorry that last command should be sudo apt-get -f
[06:19] <bigbrovar> It would help fix any unfinished install

[07:55] <bigbrovar|> Removed all kwallet config files in .Kde/share/apps and .kde/share/config
[07:56] <bigbrovar|> And i made this changes while before I logged into my kde session so that they are not overwritten
[07:58] <HulkHogan> then maybe is not a kwallet problem
[08:01] <bigbrovar|> Hmmm I wonder what the issue could be then. Cause kwallet  service seems to hang on start up causing every other app which require it to also hang
[08:02] <bigbrovar|> HulkHogan: btw which version if kubuntu  are u running
[08:03] <Hulk_Hogan> bigbrovar|: restart kwallet then

[18:03] <TheLastProject> What? Again? You can't seriously crash every 2 minutes...

[18:06] <Abhijit> yes my plasma is crashing always
[18:09] <Daskreech> Damn missed Abhijit
[18:09] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: Did you add the default panel?
[18:09] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: Add the default panel? What do you mean?
[18:10] <Daskreech> There is a bug in the system tray that will cause it to kill the panel in a way that will shutdown all of plasma. Known bug fixed in the next release (two or so weeks away)
[18:10] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: I meant more like, what is the default panel? This thing that Windows users would call a taskbar?
[18:11] <Daskreech> It's a panel configuration with a Menu, Desktop Pager, Taskbar manager, clock and a system tray
[18:11] <Daskreech> the "normal" panel
[18:13] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: Ah, okay, then I probably have that because I never changed something about the panel. Good to know, thank you for the info.
[18:14] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: try removing the system tray and see if it helps any
[18:14] <Daskreech> You will lose the little minimized icons and the notifications sliding up
[18:15] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: Thanks for the tip but... I NEED the system tray pretty much constantly so I'll keep up with the random crashes and self-restoring after a few seconds then =/
[18:15] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: does it invoke dr konqui ?
[18:16] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: invoke, that's a work that I still somewhat understand, but what is dr konqui? X_X
[18:17] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: normally when a KDE program crashes it has a little dialog box that asks if yo uwould like to file a bug and then walks you through the steps for making a better bug report
[18:17] <Daskreech> certain types of crashes don't call it up I don't recall my recent plasma cashes doing that
[18:17] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: Ah, yes, that pops up every time it crashes. I have that on my screen this very moment, just checking if I can report it somewhere
[18:18] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: I found one bug talking about the Amarok and Clementine tray icon. Seeing as I use Clementine, that may be related to it in some way o,o
[18:19] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: alright it will probably ask you to install some debug packages then it will search through the kde bug reports to find similar crashes. If it is the bug I told you about then it should be fixed already and you can (maybe) suffer for a litle longer
[18:19] <Daskreech>  If it's not been marked as fixed you can add your description of what happens so the developers can have more information on what's happening
[18:19] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: Yep, got the debug packages already. Guess I'll just wait and check if it still happens the next time it updates, otherwise I'll file a report. Don't know how else I should know if it's that bug or not =/
[18:21] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: the second to last step of reporting the bug is that it will find any other crashes that look very similar to yours and ask you if you think they are the same. It will show the crash information side by side so you can see if they look about the same
[18:21] <Daskreech> Even if you don't really understand them they will look very similar so you can just add your information to that bug (assuming it's not closed)
[18:22] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: do you have an account on bugs.kde.org ?
[18:22] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: Yeah, I'm comparing the backtraces now. I guess the threat ID and LWP is different every time? And yes, I do have an account there
[18:23] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: an ID should be different :)
[18:23] <Daskreech> I forget what the LWP is >_>
[18:26] <TheLastProject> Daskreech: Looks like pretty much everything is marked as a duplicate and closed. Oh well, I don't think I have anything special to add, I'll just wait.
[18:30] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: should get the fixes with the KDE 4.7.4 update
[18:30] <jimmy51__> a week ago i started getting this message when trying to install updates "the package that is being modified was not found on your system or in any software origin."

[18:30] <jimmy51__> this only happens in Apper, the other pgk mgmt app works (muon, i think)
[18:30] <Daskreech>  Tried to file a bug and they said it was all fixe

[18:47] <TheLastProject> aboudreault: Task manager icons randomly ask for attention even though they don't need it
[18:47] <jimmy51_> Daskreech: i dunno... when i click details it says "couldn't find package"
[18:47] <TheLastProject> Most annoying bug atm, beside the random crashing of KDE that's supposingly fixed in 2 weeks
[18:47] <aboudreault> hmm, not critical, but certainly annoying yea/
[18:47] <Daskreech> TheLastProject: Yeah 4.7.2 introduced a set of strange plasma bugs
[18:48] <Daskreech> jimmy51_: Does  the packages you expect to be updated update?
[18:48] <Daskreech>  or is that a blocking error?
[18:49] <jimmy51_> nothing updates.  it just bails.  i'm currently going through package by package to update and see if it's a certain one.
[18:50] <Daskreech> jimmy51_: hopefully that's not a lot of packages
[18:50]  * Daskreech says as he has 121 updates waiting
[18:51] <Resistance> Daskreech:  that's better than my server..
[18:51] <Resistance> its got 245 updates :/
[18:51] <Daskreech> Servers I might be more conservative on
[18:52] <Resistance> s/server/Kubuntu + server stuffs/
[18:52] <Daskreech> granted most of my updates are for Wireless drivers and bluetooth on my desktop that has neither
[18:54] <jimmy51__> Daskreech: it started a week ago.  i've been installing an update at a time since then as time allowed.  i'm down to about 12.
[19:11] <jimmy51__> hmm
[19:11] <jimmy51__> down to two
[19:12] <jimmy51__> flashplugin-downloader
[19:12] <jimmy51__> that's the culprit!
[19:16] <BluesKaj> jimmy51__, 11.10 64bit?
[19:16] <jimmy51__> BluesKaj: bingo
[19:17] <BluesKaj> jimmy51__, make sure you place the libflashplayer.so in /usr/libs
[19:18] <jimmy51__> BluesKaj: will that cause any trouble in the future?
[19:19] <jimmy51__> BluesKaj: also, right now flash works well... i just get an error when i get a sfotware update notification and try to install it
[19:19] <Daskreech> jimmy51__: Down to two wow :)
[19:22] <BluesKaj> jimmy51__, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is the correct path
[19:22] <jimmy51__> BluesKaj: ok... so after an 11.10 install, i'll have to remember to find that file (libflashplayer.so) and copy it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?
[19:23] <jimmy51__> (to prevent this error when i try to install updates)
[19:23] <BluesKaj> ok, that's because the update wants to install that damn nspluginwrapper
[19:23] <BluesKaj> which shouldn't evem be in the repos for 64bit
[19:24] <BluesKaj> I'm getting fed up with all the bugs in 11.10 , IMO it's trhe worst yet
[19:26] <BluesKaj> yes to you  last question , jimmy51__
[19:26] <BluesKaj> your
[19:27] <engromada> i've installed an alternative window manager and when i log into it, i can't get any sound to work. tried alsamixer, but all avaliable volumes were set max.
[19:27] <AciD_> jimmy51__ / BluesKaj> for info I have a symbolic link in that folder flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin
[19:27] <engromada> is there some command i must issue which was being automatically run by the default WM?
[19:28] <BluesKaj> jimmy51__, it may install to the correct path and it may not ...kind of hit or miss.... a link might work , I didn't have one
[19:29] <jimmy51__> sigh
[19:29] <jimmy51__> this is my first annoying thing i've hit in 11.10 so far.  i suppose i shouldn't be surprised it is flash related.
[19:32] <engromada> "sudo aplay -l" is listing my sound devices, and i'm using kbuntu 11.10 with the window manager: stumpWM
[19:35] <Daskreech> engromada: is your user in the audio group ?
=== djstatix is now known as Johnnychimpo
[19:36] <AciD_> jimmy51__: you are then lucky ; from my pov, so far, akonadi is a pita, kde sound sometimes just stops working and there is still no functional way to not get stuck into a 'black-screen-for-you-since-you-tried-to-use-an-external-projector-with-the-fn-shortcut-key'
[19:37] <genii-around> How can you be using kubuntu when you're using stumpwm ?
[19:37] <jimmy51__> AciD_: yikes!  that doesn't sound like fun.  i don't know what akonadi is but mine must be working :).
[19:37] <engromada> my user is in the audio group, if i log the user in using the default WM, sound is fine
[19:38] <AciD_> jimmy51__: akonadi is the new engine for managing PIM info (mail, calendar, notes, etc.)
[19:38] <AciD_> I'm sure it's ok when you don't have years for data to migrate though..
[19:39] <jimmy51__> AciD_: ah.  is that related to the envelope in the notification area by the clock?  if so... that thing sure doesn't seem to be reliable.
[19:39] <AciD_> but apart from those problems, the last version of kde is great !
[19:39] <AciD_> jimmy51__: I don't use the enveloppe, but I guess it's related
[19:40] <AciD_> do you use kmail or kontact ?
[19:41] <engromada> Daskreech: if i log the user in using the default WM, sound is fine. (i think that means it's in the audo group)
[19:42] <Daskreech> might just mean that pulseaudio is kicking in. but type "groups" in the terminal to see what groups you are in
[19:43] <engromada> yeah i failed! i'm not in the audio group!
[19:43] <engromada> thanks, hopefully that'll sort it
[19:51] <engromada> I'm thinking perhaps my audio drivers aren't starting. trying to find out how i determine the names of the drivers so i can try to start em!
[20:01] <adarshajoisa> how do i make my okular read chm documents?
[20:02] <BluesKaj> engromada, aplay -l will list the soundcard
[20:07] <engromada> what about driver info? i'm trying to run "sudo modprobe snd-[NAME OF YOUR SOUNDCARD'S DRIVER]" from the community support page
[20:10] <genii-around> If you know the VENDOR:DEVICE-ID code of your soundcard it would help to know what driver it's supposed to use. If it's a pci device you can usually see it at the end of each device line with: lspci -nn
[20:10] <BluesKaj> en
[20:11] <BluesKaj> modprobe loads the driver if it's available engromada .lspci -nn | grep -i audio should show it
[20:11] <engromada> okay, let me try that
[20:12] <BluesKaj> engromada, you can always pastebin the output so we can have a look
[20:13] <t0ntin> hi all. Some task bar items (programs, folders) appear to the left side of the ones already open. Is there a way to fix that?
[20:15] <BluesKaj> engromada, some cards don't show the exact module name , try this command instead , cat /proc/asound/modules
[20:15] <engromada> http://pastebin.com/n9YugWRM okay, didn't think of that, that was my output
[20:16] <engromada> okay my output for that one is http://pastebin.com/6bFNLWUc
[20:17] <BluesKaj> ok the default is card 0 , snd_hda_intel, engromada , so sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel , should load it if it isn't already
[20:19] <t0ntin> hi all. Some task bar items (programs, folders) appear to the left side of the ones already open. Is there a way to fix that?

[20:19] <BluesKaj> engromada, also check alsmixer in the terminal, make sure the auto mute hasn't muted the master ctrl or any relavent vol ctrls
[20:20] <BluesKaj> err alsamixer
[20:22] <engromada> hmm, strange.
[20:22] <engromada> all my levels are fine, nothing is muted
[20:22] <engromada> this is really bizzare
[20:27] <BluesKaj> engromada, ok open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, add this line if it isn't already there , options snd_hda_intel index=0 , save the file
[20:27] <BluesKaj> then run sudo alsa force-reload
[20:28] <BluesKaj> engromada, open that file with root permissions
[20:31] <engromada> WIN!
[20:31] <engromada> three nice buckets of eternal gratitude to you, sir/maddam!
[20:32] <engromada> is that going to automagically work each time i log in now?
[20:35] <BluesKaj> engromada, it should , if alsa loads it will as well :)
[20:37] <engromada> beautiful. i hope some day i'll be able to sort stuff out for people like that. so incredibly much to learn
[20:40] <BluesKaj> engromada, I installed anew m-audio soundcard a while back and it took me 10 days of googling and searching the internet for clues on various tutorails on how to fix my no soundcard recognition probl, so put all the knowledge into atextfile so i wouldn't forget ...learned some stuff along the way :)
[20:43] <BluesKaj> engromada, I wish there was amore systematic approach one could take to solve sound probs, but it's difficult when even withe same soundcard and drivers differnt problems arise ,, there's no logic to it
[20:44] <engromada> i just stuck all your advice into a file, too! I knew i should come here after about an hour of google-frustration... lots of clued-up people in here!
[20:44] <BluesKaj> we learn from experience :)
[20:45] <engromada> with that glorious sucsess, i'm off to the pub for a swift couple! thanks :)
[20:46] <BluesKaj> engromada, np , have fun :)
[20:49] <andantino> just installed kubuntu and i cannot figure out how to set my clock to 12 hour time
[20:56] <genii-around> In case others want to know: System settings... Common appearance and Behavior section .. Locale ... Date and Time tab on right ... put pH:MM:SS AMPM  in field labelled Time Format, hit Apply
[20:57] <BluesKaj> genii-around, yeah that procedure works in 11.10 , but it didn't work for me in 11.04
[20:57] <genii-around> Interesting
[20:58] <BluesKaj> it kept reverting to 24 hrs time even with AM:PM
[20:59] <BluesKaj> or UTC or martial or what ever it's called these days
[20:59] <Lug> bonsoir
[20:59] <BluesKaj> good day
[21:00] <Lug> not so bad and you
[21:00] <BluesKaj> good thanks
[21:00] <Lug> where are you from ?
[21:01] <BluesKaj> Lug, do you have a question ?
[21:01] <BluesKaj> about kubuntu.
