| === brent_ is now known as bwellsnc | |
| [01:06] <seawing> I an running kubuntu 11.10 on my lenovo laptop. there is a problem : when I am using the keyboard in any program the cursor will frequently loose focus at random times. it does not do this in my windows partition nor does it do it with a live disk of the same distro. Any suggestions to relieve this frustrating bug would be greatly appriciated. | |
| [01:12] <Daskreech> seawing: the cursor loses focus? | |
| [01:13] <seawing> meaning I have to click with the mouse to continue typing. | |
| [01:14] <seawing> like that window is no longer in focus. | |
| [01:14] <Daskreech> and you aren't touching the touchpad while you are typing | |
| [01:14] <Daskreech> ? | |
| [01:15] <seawing> no. and like I said it doesn't do in when using a live disk. | |
| [01:15] <Daskreech> I think you can use ksynaptics to turn off the touchpad when you are typing | |
| [01:15] <seawing> let me try that again.... | |
| [01:18] <seawing> nope. I checked the box that turns off the touchpad while typing and attempted to type a sentence in a browser and got cut off part way through. | |
| [01:19] <seawing> it is really anoying when attempting to type in a hidden password field. | |
| [01:23] <Daskreech> Well if it works in the same distro with a live Cd it's a setting since it's the same version that is installed | |
| [01:24] <seawing> I dont think that it has to do with the touch pad. I suspect plasma but don't have any reason to back that up. | |
| [01:25] <seawing> what other settings might effect this behavior? | |
| [01:26] <Daskreech> it can't be plasma | |
| [01:27] <seawing> ok. | |
| [01:27] <Daskreech> Plasma doesn't do anythign with focus. It would be kwin but unless you have your keyboard remapped I don't see any reason why kwin would be switching windows while you were typing | |
| [01:27] <Daskreech> does it happen everytime you are doing a particular password? | |
| [01:29] <seawing> no. it hapens when I am typing an email in gmail, typing a document in libra office, typing a password for synaptic, typing a url in kunquror, etc. | |
| [01:30] <Daskreech> Does it always happen when you type a password in synaptic? | |
| [01:31] <seawing> no, sometimes I can make it through the entire phrase before it loses focus. sometimes I can type a couple sentenses before it happens, sometimes only a couple letters. | |
| [01:32] <Daskreech> so it isn't jumping when you do something like press 'e' ? | |
| [01:32] <Daskreech> or perhaps pressing two keys at the same time | |
| [01:33] <seawing> I'll try that. | |
| [01:36] <Daskreech> I'm looking to see if there may be some setting I've overlooked | |
| [01:37] <seawing> no. I just tried going through the keyboard and it did it on y so I started over and the next time ie did it on - and the next time I made it all the way to n, | |
| [01:37] <Daskreech> wait the installer will run updates as it installs won't it >_< | |
| [01:37] <seawing> ? | |
| [01:37] <Daskreech> can you pastebin ps aux ? | |
| [01:38] <seawing> not sure where that is. | |
| [01:38] <Daskreech> !pastebin | |

| [01:39] <Daskreech> open a konsole and type sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ps aux | pastebinit | |
| [01:39] <Daskreech> It will give you a url just paste that URL back here | |
| [01:40] <seawing> I am typing from my desktop. I will open this in the laptop. | |
| [01:41] <Daskreech> ok | |
| [01:45] <seawing_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/824660/ | |
| [01:48] <seawing> anything interesting there? | |
| [01:49] <Daskreech> Not seeing anything that strikes me as stealing focus | |
| [01:49] <Daskreech> Granted Kwin is very good at not handing over focus | |
| [01:49] <Daskreech> Do you ever lose focus without typing on the keyboard? | |
| [01:50] <seawing> you know it even does it whin I click on the k menu and am browsing for something. | |
| [01:50] <Daskreech> Do you know where it loses focus to? | |
| [01:50] <seawing> because the k menu closes when you lose focus it is obvious. | |
| [01:51] <Daskreech> and the mouse is over the kmenu at that point? | |
| [01:51] <seawing> yes. I can't figure out where it goes. it will do it when there is only one window open. | |
| [01:57] <Daskreech> Which suggests the desktop. Do you have the desktop in your alt+tab listing? | |
| [01:57] <seawing> I don't understand. | |
| [01:58] <Daskreech> If you press alt+tab is your desktop one of the options in the list? | |
| [01:58] <seawing> no | |
| [01:58] <seawing> if all windows are closed alt tab does nothing | |
| [01:59] <Daskreech> ah that might be useful if it loses focus you could hold alt+tab to see what grabbed the focus. if it's consistently the desktop then perhaps you have a rogue plasmoid abusing dbus? | |
| [01:59] <Daskreech> you can add it in with alt+F2 -> switcher | |
| [01:59] <seawing> ok, so I will open several windows and see what happens. | |
| [02:05] <Daskreech> or you can add in the desktop :) | |
| [02:07] <seawing> I don't follow what you mean about the alt+f2 switcher, but suddenly I cannot recreate the problem. I dont think I changed anything. | |
| [02:07] <Daskreech> seawing: alt=tab switcher | |
| [02:07] <Daskreech> alt+f2 is the krunner | |
| [02:07] <Daskreech> Alt+tab | |
| [02:10] <ScottyK> greetings! On the netbook version, how do you change/edit an icon? | |
| [02:10] <seawing> I am going to restart it and see if the problem comes back. | |
| [02:11] <seawing> THank you for your help by the way. will come back to it later. | |
| [02:13] <Daskreech> ScottyK: right click? :-) | |
| [02:13] <Daskreech> Probably long click | |
| [02:16] <ScottyK> Daskreech - no effect. If I could find something simular to the kickoff launcher, I could get it. But can't find anything like that in the netbook | |
| [02:17] <Daskreech> You just want to edit an icon? | |
| [02:17] <Daskreech> actually #plasma might be a good place to ask | |
| [02:18] <ScottyK> Daskreech - yes. One of the programs I use in WINE has a "?" for the icon. I'd rather it just have the wine goblet icon | |
| [02:19] <Daskreech> Check in #plasma I think | |
| [02:20] <ScottyK> Daskreech - Roger that, thanks! | |
| [02:21] <dabbill> is there something i can install so that when i plug in headphones it kills my normal speakers (hp notebook) right now i have to use alsamixer in a terminal to turn down the volume to my speakers | |
| [02:24] <Daskreech> pulseaudio should be able to do that | |
| [02:27] <ironfroggy> did the 11.10 update default to gnomes login screen, instead of KDM, for anyone else? | |
| [02:30] <James1479> ironfroggy: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" | |
| [02:30] <ironfroggy> thank you | |
| [02:30] <dabbill> Deskreech is that whats installed by default with 11.10? | |
| [02:31] <ironfroggy> i was really sad to see i'm still getting plasma freezes when i open the kmenu some times, after my 11.10 update :-/ | |
| [02:33] <dabbill> Daskreech: there is no slider in the kde mixer for speakers indpendent of the headphones output | |
| [02:43] <zorobabel> so Amarok launches on start-up, but it's not in System Settings > Autostart; does anyone know how I can remove it? | |
| [02:43] <Daskreech> dabbill: Yes | |
| [02:43] <Daskreech> ironfroggy: Desktop effects on? | |
| [02:44] <Daskreech> zorobabel: Session autostart perhaps? | |
| [02:45] <ironfroggy> Daskreech: no | |
| [02:46] <Daskreech> Hmm :-/ | |
| [02:46] <Daskreech> ironfroggy: only kickoff freezes the desktop? | |
| [02:48] <zorobabel> possibly | |
| [02:48] <zorobabel> let me check that | |
| [02:51] <ironfroggy> Daskreech: thats been whast i've seen for a while now. on multiple machines, too. | |
| [02:51] <ironfroggy> tho both of them were intel gpu thinkpads.. | |
| [02:54] <Daskreech> ironfroggy: tried switching to classic menu or lancelot? | |
| [02:54] <ironfroggy> i have not. i dont really notice it much, so i never took the initiative | |
| [02:55] <ironfroggy> probably because i use the menu so incredibly rarely | |
| [03:04] <Daskreech> ironfroggy: alright | |

| [03:13] <Daskreech> https://launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/+archive/mysql | |
| [03:19] <rufsketch1> Daskreech so how do I install that such that it replaces the current mysql-5.1? | |
| [03:19] <rufsketch1> I tried installing 5.5 from a .deb, but it still retained 5.1 | |
| [03:19] <rufsketch1> and i can't remove all of 5.1 first, because kubuntu needs it | |

| [03:20] <rufsketch1> Daskreech right, I know. I'm asking ahead of time if it will replace the old version instead of just installing the new version on top of it | |
| [03:21] <Daskreech> Well the person doing that PPA is doing it in preparation of having MySQL 5.5 on Ubuntu so I would think that it's a inplace upgrade | |
| [03:21] <Daskreech> but of course I'm speculating | |
| [03:22] <rufsketch1> Daskreech alright, I'll try it. | |

| [04:39] <rufsketch1> meaning you might have to hack about a bit. | |
| [04:39] <rufsketch1> benbloom I know skype has a screen capture option | |

| [04:42] <rufsketch1> benbloom no | |

| [06:14] <ashes> hello | |
| [06:16] <ashes> apt-get and apper seem to be out of sync... i can do an 'apt-get update', and then install a new package, and then apper _always_ complains after about security updates. am i doing things wrong? | |
| [06:17] <ashes> i could have eliminated some variables, like do an apper update first, but i don't think that will have an influence | |
| [06:17] <ashes> i assume apper and apt-get both use the same database, yes? | |
| [06:19] <ashes> is there something else i should use, than apt-get, to install new packages with? i prefer command-line | |
| [06:26] <hateball> well apper only checks so often, but if you do a manual check with it after you've installed using apt-get it should report correct | |
| [06:27] <ashes> does 'apt-get install' perform any update to my local database? | |
| [06:29] <ashes> originally i would do an 'apt-get install', and a minute later i would have a ton of updates from apper. thinking that i was installing old packages, i started doing 'apt-get update' before 'apt-get install', but this problem with apper hasn't gone away | |
| [06:30] <ashes> it's more than a coincidence that apper reports that i need updates every time i use 'apt-get install' | |
| [06:30] <ashes> it's always unrelated packages | |
| [06:31] <ashes> i just installed lm-sensors, and apper wants to update xorg related packages | |
| [06:31] <ashes> i might simply be doing things wrong | |
| [06:32] <ashes> is what i'm doing an acceptable/efficient way to install new packages and maintain my system? | |
| [06:34] <ashes> i have a good understanding of linux, but not kubuntu specifically. i just learned apper is a kde app a few minutes ago | |
| [06:34] <ashes> i'm new to ubuntu aswell | |

| [07:51] <Tm_T> zorobabel: what happens if you ask it (via apt-get) to remove both unity and the gnome stuff it tries to install? | |
| [07:52] <zorobabel> I could try but it is somewhat annoying since the gnome stuff is about 30 packages | |
| [07:56] <zorobabel> 1here we go | |
| [08:06] <almoxarife> zorobabel: there is a easy way to wipe gnome from your system, assuming that you want to go pure kubuntu? | |
| [08:08] <zorobabel> yes, I do | |
| [08:09] <xcorat> Hi, how can I apply this patch? | |
| [08:09] <xcorat> https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee-old/issues/149#issuecomment-3285349 | |
| [08:09] <almoxarife> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | |
| [08:10] <Tm_T> xcorat: that's patch for nouveau graphics drivers? | |
| [08:10] <zorobabel> looks good | |
| [08:10] <xcorat> yeah | |
| [08:10] <almoxarife> zorobabel: assuming kubuntu is already installed you would leave the last install portion out | |
| [08:11] <zorobabel> yep | |
| [08:11] <Tm_T> xcorat: you need to get nouveau sources, apply the patch to the sources, and then build the drivers | |
| [08:11] <almoxarife> zorobabel: one thing, if you need any apps from gnome after the fact they will need to be re-installed, most likely | |
| [08:11] <Tm_T> xcorat: ...you have previous experience on compiling applications from sources? | |
| [08:12] <xcorat> Tm_T:you mean like ./config->make stuff? or somthin diff? | |
| [08:12] <Tm_T> that, yes | |
| [08:12] <xcorat> Tm_T:whats the deal with diff file? how can I apply the patch, idk much | |
| [08:14] <Tm_T> xcorat: maybe this explains? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/appy-patch-file-using-patch-command/ | |
| [08:18] <xcorat> @Tm_T: so you just get download the files and the patch, and run patch < the input file path? | |
| [08:19] <Tm_T> xcorat: yeah, but compiling nouveau drivers isn't that simple job I'm afraid | |
| [08:19] <xcorat> hm.. :) | |
| [08:19] <xcorat> i figured | |
| [08:19] <xcorat> i might try. | |
| [08:19] <Tm_T> xcorat: if you're up for the challenge, go for it, only way to learn is to do (: | |
| [08:20] <xcorat> thats true.. but im wondering if its worth it. It seems there's no support yet for lenovo y470. | |
| [08:20] <xcorat> thanks a lot | |

| [14:28] <bazhang> dnovikov, need some help? | |
| [14:29] <dnovikov> Thanks, | |
| [14:29] <dnovikov> trying to remember how IRC works | |
| [14:29] <dnovikov> THere is any FAQ? | |
| [14:30] <bazhang> dnovikov, for your irc client? for freenode generally? | |
| [14:31] <babalu> how can i get a good security for my computer? is there to know whether or not my computer is keylogged? | |
| [14:31] <babalu> * | |
| [14:31] <dnovikov> probably for the client. I'll google it | |
| [14:31] <babalu> a way | |
| [14:31] <bazhang> !crosspost | babalu | |
| [14:31] <ubottu> babalu: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. | |
| [14:32] <babalu> bazhang: sorry | |
| [14:32] <bazhang> dnovikov, #quassel is here on freenode | |
| [14:32] <Grotz> hmmm, maybe all afk in kubuntu-de. =D i will try my luck on english. and i'm sorry, im realy noob with computersystems. my first question is, how to install software on kubuntu 11.10? i found some informations about software-center and synaptic but i think this isnt the right one for kubuntu oO | |
| [14:33] <bazhang> Grotz, from the package manager? from the command line (ie konsole)? | |

| [14:34] <Grotz> segmentation fault (11) | |
| [14:35] <jovin> try dpkg --configure -a | |
| [14:37] <BluesKaj> Grotz, don't use muon , it's broken | |
| [14:37] <kbroulik> BluesKaj: lol | |
| [14:37] <Grotz> jovin where?^^ | |
| [14:37] <jovin> in terminal | |
| [14:37] <bazhang> BluesKaj, what would be a good alternative | |
| [14:37] <Grotz> ah ok | |
| [14:37] <BluesKaj> lol? it's not funny , it's a fact :) | |
| [14:37] <jovin> fixed it for me | |
| [14:37] <BluesKaj> synaptic adept or even apt-get in the terminal | |
| [14:38] <jovin> muon works fine | |
| [14:38] <kbroulik> BluesKaj: the UI, definitly. but at least the auto updater works in contrast to apper/kpackagekit^^ | |

| [14:43] <belfist> I've got a silyl problem | |
| [14:43] <davide> thanks | |
| [14:44] <belfist> I added a facebook widget and i cant remove it | |
| [14:45] <belfist> I accidently addet it to a panel, not on the desktop | |
| [14:45] <belfist> How can I remove it? | |
| [14:45] <BluesKaj> right click on it remove this widget | |
| [14:46] <belfist> when i do that, there is only one option - reload | |
| [14:46] <belfist> ooohhh i got it | |
| [14:46] <belfist> it messed up my panel | |
| [14:47] <belfist> i just had to right-click a few pixels away to do that | |
| [14:47] <belfist> ;) | |
| [14:47] <belfist> thanks! | |
| [14:48] <belfist> Oh, and by the way, I found the way to install World Of Warcraft on kubuntu (installation on download) and i made it work perfectly! Someone wants to know how? :D | |
| [14:48] <Grotz> uncomment means del "# " ? | |
| [14:49] <belfist> @Grotz - Yes | |
| [14:49] <Torch> belfist: double clicked the installer? ;-) | |
| [14:49] <BluesKaj> belfist, Vbox ? | |
| [14:49] <bazhang> Grotz, correct | |
| [14:49] <belfist> No, installing wow is not that simple ;D | |
| [14:49] <belfist> I used wine, and wine tricks. | |
| [14:49] <Torch> belfist: weird. it has been for me. | |
| [14:50] <belfist> YOu didn't have problems with p2p downloading? | |
| [14:50] <belfist> Launcher.exe was working fine? | |
| [14:50] <Torch> belfist: yeah, i turned off p2p some time after 4.2 or so. | |
| [14:50] <Torch> belfist: that problem hasn't always existed. | |
| [14:50] <Grotz> argh, need some write rights =/ | |
| [14:50] <Torch> belfist: see the wine app db page about it. | |
| [14:51] <belfist> I had to install directx dlls as well - | |
| [14:51] <Torch> belfist: i don't remember doing that. also, make it use opengl. | |
| [14:51] <belfist> That's the point! | |
| [14:52] <Grotz> how to get the rights to edit sources.list?^^ | |
| [14:52] <belfist> when I used "wine wow,exe -opengl" It crashed after few minutes - with segmentation fault. | |
| [14:52] <belfist> @grotz use sude gedit <filepath> | |
| [14:52] <belfist> i mean | |
| [14:52] <belfist> sudo gedit <filepath> | |
| [14:53] <bazhang> kdesu kate for kubuntu | |
| [14:53] <belfist> And when I just used wine without opengl, It worked perefctly! On fullhd with all effects. | |
| [14:53] <Torch> no kdesu in kubuntu ;-) | |
| [14:53] <Torch> kdesudo it is. | |
| [14:53] <bazhang> thanks there Torch | |
| [14:54] <belfist> aah, youre right. I forgot sometimes, that i use kde ;D | |
| [14:54] <belfist> I was using gnome, but installed kde. SOme programs are pissing me off. | |
| [14:55] <belfist> For instance - when I finish downloading something by firefox, and want to open pathfile, nautilius opens ;/ | |
| [14:56] <Grotz> belfist, command gedit not found | |
| [14:56] <Grotz> argh my fault | |
| [14:57] <Grotz> ok not ^^ | |
| [14:57] <Grotz> cant find the command | |
| [14:57] <BluesKaj> kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list , Grotz | |
| [14:58] <Grotz> ah ok | |
| [14:59] <BluesKaj> Guys don't give parial commands like kdesudo , give athe whole caommand and address the person you're directing the help by his nick please , thanks | |
| [14:59] <BluesKaj> partial | |
| [14:59] <belfist> Cya later guys! | |
| [14:59] * belfist going away | |
| [15:08] <Grotz> muon ist starting now. thank you all for your help | |
| [15:11] <ironfroggy> after my update to 11.10 i no longer get notifications from gtk applications properly, they come up as plain X dialogs instead, and i can't find a way to even turn them off. what might have broken in the update that i could look into? | |
| [15:13] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, reset your package manager repository , and be sure to enable canonical partners | |
| [15:13] <BluesKaj> then update and upgrade , ironfroggy | |
| [15:14] <txomon> hi, which is the minimal package to install all the kubuntu desktop without installing kdm? | |
| [15:16] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: thanks, but i'm not sure where to do that exactly. i thought you were referring to some things the update might have disabled in sources.list but i dont see anything mentioning canonical | |
| [15:16] <ironfroggy> that is, nothing that isnt already enabled. | |
| [15:17] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, which kubuntu version ? | |
| [15:18] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: 11.10, just upgraded from 11.04 | |
| [15:20] <BluesKaj> best to open your package manager to do the changes, ironfroggy , the manager will add the deb to sources.list | |
| [15:21] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, I recommend synaptic , it's the easiest to use for editing IMO | |
| [15:21] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: i dont use any package manager, i have always used apt-get directly | |
| [15:22] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: i'm still not sure what i'm actually trying to accomplish, via a package manager or directly. | |
| [15:22] <ironfroggy> all my packages are up to date, i've got the canonical repositories included. | |
| [15:23] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, well lately when upgrading , the sources.list is no longer updated with the canonical partners and 3rd part software sources , as previously...the devs want ppl to use the package manager since trying to appeal to GUI type users | |
| [15:24] <BluesKaj> ok ironfroggy run sudo dpkg --configure -a , no output means no errors | |
| [15:24] <ironfroggy> no errors then | |
| [15:25] <BluesKaj> ok , ironfroggy , try an update | |
| [15:25] <ironfroggy> have already done so, and just did it again | |
| [15:26] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, pastebin your upgrade errors | |
| [15:27] <txomon> So anyone knows here about kubuntu-desktop without the kdm? | |
| [15:27] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: i dont have any upgrade errors | |
| [15:27] <ironfroggy> there is nothing to upgrade, i just did a dist-upgrade so everything is up to date. | |
| [15:27] <Torch> txomon: probably need to try something like kdelibs and the base and workspace packages for kde | |
| [15:28] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, err I mean update of course | |
| [15:28] <Torch> txomon: also, you could install kdm and just carry on using a different login manager, but i'm sure you're aware of that | |
| [15:29] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: also no errors | |
| [15:29] <txomon> Torch: I thought about installing kubuntu-desktop, but that is now what I was looking for | |
| [15:29] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, if you don't have any gtk apps that need updating/upgrading then the notifier won't notify | |
| [15:30] <txomon> Torch: also thought about kde-plasma-desktop | |
| [15:30] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: do you mean the triggers that setup notifications from gtk apps to the KDE notifications happen on install or update of those gtk app packages? | |
| [15:31] <Torch> txomon: i'm afraid i can't tell you off the top of my head how these packages are laid out and you can just look that up yourself as well, don't need me to do it ;-) | |
| [15:31] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, yes if you have the package manager notfier turned on | |
| [15:32] <Torch> txomon: my advice would be install kubuntu-desktop and set whatever login manager suits you. or try kdm, it's actually very good. | |
| [15:32] <txomon> Torch: I already tried kubuntu-desktop package, but having installed kdm, is much more weighty than lightdm | |
| [15:34] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: how can i make sure i have that enabled? | |
| [15:34] <BluesKaj> txomon, a login manager isn't a big deal , just use one or the other | |
| [15:34] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, check muon or apper whichever default package mangers you have installed | |
| [15:35] <Torch> txomon: iirc kdm is a few hundred _kilobytes_ big, is it not? | |
| [15:35] <eeanm> is there a kubuntu repo somewhere with PublicTransport packaged? | |
| [15:36] <txomon> Torch: yes, but interacts with my system some way, I have had quite real problems with it. Each time I boot the computer, it starts with one of them | |
| [15:37] <Torch> txomon: like, for instance? | |
| [15:37] <txomon> Torch: lightdm lxdm kdm | |
| [15:37] <txomon> goes around those three | |
| [15:37] <Torch> txomon: no, i was referring to the problems you had with kdm... which were those? | |
| [15:38] <txomon> Torch: I don't like it ;) | |
| [15:38] <FloodBotK3> !netsplit | |
| [15:38] <ubottu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | |
| [15:38] <txomon> the idea is that the *dm interact between them | |
| [15:39] <Torch> txomon: they do? | |
| [15:39] <BluesKaj> txomon, if you're going to run kubuntu desktop , run kdm ...it's only there for the time you login | |
| [15:40] <ironfroggy> BluesKaj: i'm slightly confused now, actually, but also very sorry to keep being dense about this. what does this problem have to do with the package managers, exactly? | |
| [15:40] <txomon> BluesKaj: but I want _just_ to use lightdm | |
| [15:40] <txomon> but ok | |
| [15:41] <txomon> I will install kubuntu-desktop | |
| [15:41] <txomon> hope the problem was with lxdm | |
| [15:41] <BluesKaj> txomon, well if lightdm doesn't work then you have to make a choice | |
| [15:41] <txomon> BluesKaj: it does work perfectly | |
| [15:41] <txomon> kubuntu crashes | |
| [15:42] <Torch> txomon: i would appreciate if you just could tell us what the _problem_ really is you're trying to solve. | |
| [15:42] <Torch> txomon: is it weight? bugs? or just weird preferences? | |
| [15:42] <txomon> Torch: let the user choose between gnome and kde | |
| [15:42] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, the package manager now also edits the sources.list , but doesn't update the repos listed there when you upgrade for some reason it's being neglected. | |
| [15:43] <txomon> without installing superfluous packages | |
| [15:43] <Torch> txomon: don't use kubuntu if that is top of your list. | |
| [15:43] <txomon> it is like installing lubuntu-core | |
| [15:44] <txomon> there is not a kubuntu-core | |
| [15:44] <txomon> just kubuntu-desktop | |
| [15:44] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, however when you update the repos in the package manager , it's actually the app that apt and dpkg look at for the sources | |
| [15:44] <ironfroggy> also, wth | |
| [15:45] <ironfroggy> suddenly i'm getting notifications from pidgin | |
| [15:45] <ironfroggy> i dont know what i did that made a difference. | |
| [15:45] <ironfroggy> but its not KDE notifications still... halfway there maybe | |
| [15:46] <BluesKaj> ironfroggy, after that dpkg looks at the sources.list for any ppas etc that you may have added manually | |
| [15:47] <txomon> so, my question, is : "Is there any minimal package containing the desktop, and not kdm etc" ? | |
| [15:49] <Tm_T> txomon: just the desktop, no apps, tools etc? | |
| [15:50] <Tm_T> there's package "plasma-desktop" that provides you that desktop and the panels and (basic) widgets | |
| [15:51] <txomon> tm_T, no kdm, just no kdm | |
| [15:53] <Tm_T> txomon: then no | |

| [17:17] <sky100> how to refresh in kubuntu | |
| [17:17] <Daskreech> sky100: refresh what? | |
| [17:18] <Daskreech> Welcome to Kubuntu :) | |
| [17:21] <sky100> refresh the page itself | |
| [17:21] <sky100> im on xchat , suddenly it hanged | |
| [17:21] <sky100> so i had to close the programme itself | |
| [17:22] <sky100> & start it all over | |
| [17:22] <EvilResistance> sky100, refresh the "page" itself? | |
| [17:22] <EvilResistance> that'd imply you're on a web site | |
| [17:22] <EvilResistance> if you mean restart a program, you just did it right | |
| [17:22] <Daskreech> EvilResistance: no it doesn't | |
| [17:23] <EvilResistance> Daskreech, given they stated "xchat" the term "page" does not apply | |
| [17:23] <Daskreech> Applications can have pages without being in the interwebs :) | |
| [17:23] <Daskreech> Channel might be a better term :) | |
| [17:23] <sky100> like in WINDOWS we used to press F or right click the mouse to get refresh option | |
| [17:23] <EvilResistance> not in xchat. | |
| [17:23] <sky100> f5 | |
| [17:23] <sky100> F5 * | |
| [17:24] <EvilResistance> sky100, i'm a tiny bit confuzled with what you're having the problem in. In what program is this error occurring? | |
| [17:24] <Daskreech> Xchat :) | |
| [17:24] <EvilResistance> there is no refresh option in xchat | |
| [17:24] <EvilResistance> never has been | |
| [17:24] <sky100> no not in xchat | |
| [17:24] <EvilResistance> sky100, firefox? | |
| [17:24] <ktmiradio> irc://irc.freenode.net/#rivendell | |
| [17:24] <Daskreech> sky100: Though if Xchat is hung (i.e. doesn't respond to anything) then trying ot refresh it won't make a difference. Since it's not responding | |
| [17:24] <sky100> im speaking on the KUBUNTU os | |
| [17:25] <Daskreech> sky100: depends on the application in question. Konversation doesn't have a refresh pers e | |
| [17:25] <Daskreech> though if you flip to a different channel and flip back then it will redraw the view | |
| [17:26] <sky100> Daskreech, : i was just searching for a refresh option in KUBUNTU | |
| [17:26] <Daskreech> sky100: Ah for the whole screen? | |
| [17:26] <sky100> yup | |
| [17:26] <Daskreech> alt+shift+F12 would work | |
| [17:26] <sky100> cool | |
| [17:26] <Daskreech> Tecnically that turns desktop effects on and off | |
| [17:26] <sky100> ok ty Daskreech | |
| [17:26] <Daskreech> but it also redraws the whole screen | |
| [17:27] <sky100> i see | |
| [17:27] <sky100> as the Xchat suddenly hanged , so i wanted to close the programme but it was not even getting closed.. | |
| [17:28] <sky100> so I had restart the computer | |
| [17:28] <sky100> i had to * | |
| [17:29] <EvilResistance> hmm... i wonder if that's anything similar to what happens on my systems when sectors start dying en masse... | |
| [17:29] <EvilResistance> since i have random hangs when my hard drive isheaded to its death... | |
| [17:29] <Daskreech> sky100: could you open a new program? | |
| [17:29] <sky100> Daskreech, : yeah i can | |
| [17:30] <sky100> as I started the pc | |
| [17:30] <sky100> re* | |
| [17:30] <Daskreech> sky100: if you click the X button and wait 30 or so seconds then the program will give you the option to close it | |
| [17:30] <sky100> ok | |
| [17:30] <Daskreech> If that still doesn't work you can press alt+ctrl+Esc to get the Kill Cursor | |
| [17:30] <Daskreech> Click on anything and it will kill it | |
| [17:31] <sithlord48> hello #kubuntu! | |
| [17:31] <Daskreech> EvilResistance: Possibly. if it's the same sector dying then the same program will always hang. If it's your RAM dying well then you get disco balls of lights and fury | |
| [17:31] <Daskreech> Hi sithlord48 | |
| [17:32] <sithlord48> whats going on today out there in kubuntu land? | |
| [17:32] <sky100> Daskreech, i tried that Kill cursor | |
| [17:32] <EvilResistance> Daskreech, and if your hardware is burning itself, you have the potential to have a mysterious ball of blue smoke coming out of the computer :P | |
| [17:32] <sithlord48> its called xkill (so you know in the future) | |
| [17:32] <sky100> & by mistake i applied on desktop.. | |
| [17:32] <sky100> now i cant see any icon on desktop | |
| [17:32] <sky100> :| | |
| [17:33] <sky100> how to get it back | |
| [17:33] <sithlord48> sky100: you want to press alt+f2 (for run box) then run "plasma-desktop" | |
| [17:33] <Daskreech> sky100: press alt+F2 and type plasma-desktop | |
| [17:33] <Daskreech> Press esc to cancel the Kill Cursor | |
| [17:33] <sky100> yup | |
| [17:33] <Daskreech> don't click on the desktop :) | |
| [17:34] <sky100> got back | |
| [17:34] <Daskreech> sithlord48: KDE 4.8! | |
| [17:34] <sithlord48> 12.04 alpha over here | |
| [17:34] <Daskreech> EvilResistance: I had blue electricity shoot out the back of the powersupply. No Smoke yet | |
| [17:34] <sithlord48> on my netbook , running so very nice (11.10 on desktop w/ kde 4.8 too) | |
| [17:34] <Daskreech> sithlord48: Well then install KDE 4.9 :-p | |
| [17:35] <EvilResistance> Daskreech, i was working on a client's computer, and was going to power-test the power supply so I had it open (I am trained to work on them), and one of the big capacitors explodified right in my face | |
| [17:35] <sithlord48> thats bad. | |
| [17:35] <Daskreech> Ha! take that degree!! I laugh in the face of paper! | |
| [17:36] <Daskreech> Hopefully you were not close to it when it did that | |
| [17:36] <Daskreech> clay type capacitors can be really sharp | |
| [17:36] <sky100> ty so much Daskreech | |
| [17:36] <EvilResistance> i was... close... but not injured | |
| [17:37] <EvilResistance> well that's not true... i had an injury to my hand | |
| [17:37] <EvilResistance> a decent sized burn | |
| [17:37] <sithlord48> i got one of those once from getting battery goop on my hand , not fun .. | |
| [17:39] <EvilResistance> yours was an acid burn. mine was an explosion burn | |
| [17:39] <EvilResistance> *shrugs* | |
| [17:39] <sithlord48> oh was thinking you got chem burn from cap goop | |
| [17:39] <EvilResistance> nope, the thing literally exploded | |
| [17:39] <EvilResistance> while hooked up to 120v power | |
| [17:39] <EvilResistance> so... | |
| [17:39] <EvilResistance> that explains the explosion, but i should have been able to just tell... | |
| [17:40] <EvilResistance> by looking at the caps on the capacitors... | |
| [17:40] <EvilResistance> they were puffy xD | |
| [17:40] <sithlord48> yes we replace lots of parts @ my job cause of failed caps. but no one ever wants to listen to me when i say its a cap solder a new one on and save the <insane board price> | |
| [17:41] <Daskreech> sky100: Sure :) anything else you would like to know? | |
| [17:42] <sky100> will try to know a lot , Daskreech , but as for now its all ok | |
| [17:42] <sky100> ty for your co-operation | |
| [17:42] <sky100> im all new to whole LINUX stuff | |
| [17:43] <sithlord48> its ok we were all new at some point | |
| [17:43] <sky100> so will be having issues on a regular basis .... | |
| [17:43] <sky100> oh , yea sithlord48 | |
| [17:43] <sithlord48> don't treat it like a windows machine , and learn anew :D | |
| [17:43] <sky100> ty for kind words | |
| [17:44] <Daskreech> sky100: welcome to Linux and KDE as well :) | |
| [17:44] <sky100> yeah.. thats what is the first thing to learn... | |
| [17:44] <EvilResistance> sithlord48, you do have to be careful with some of those things... soldering a new cap onto an already-failed capacitor can be bad sometimes | |
| [17:44] <EvilResistance> namely due to the capacitor needing replacing | |
| [17:44] <sky100> TY Daskreech | |
| === bruno is now known as Guest47841 | |
| [17:45] <sithlord48> oh yes i ment whole capacitor | |
| [17:47] <Daskreech> sky100: Are you used to XChat? | |
| [17:47] <sithlord48> im no electronics expert when it comes to soldering or making circets but i have the basics down , more a computer science type | |
| [17:47] <EvilResistance> sithlord48, yeah, but with power supplies you sometimes have to replace the whole board | |
| [17:47] <EvilResistance> or the entire PSU | |
| [17:47] <sky100> yep Daskreech | |
| [17:47] <sky100> im using xchat | |
| [17:47] <Daskreech> sky100: Ah figured :) | |
| [17:47] <EvilResistance> mainly because exploding capacitors usually short themselves out after the explosion | |
| [17:47] <sithlord48> mine are usually on motor pwb and stuff like that. i fix office equpment like copiers, printers, etc.. | |
| [17:49] <sithlord48> sky100: how long u been using kubuntu for ? and this is your first linux distro? | |
| [17:49] <Daskreech> sky100: as a friendly tip use alt+F2 it will make your life much happier | |
| [17:49] <sithlord48> yes krunner (what alt+f2 opens) is very usefull | |
| [17:50] <sithlord48> i found out that i can control amarok from it the other day by typing in a song i want to hear . from my collection, it doesn't even have to be in the playlist. | |

| [19:08] <sohussain> need rec..* | |
| [19:08] <sky100> like i said i have 1.25GB of RAM | |

| [19:09] <Daskreech> sohussain: What are you backing up? | |
| [19:11] <sohussain> basically i would like to create a backup of my local Os i.e. Kubuntu 11.10, i have seperated my "Home" to another partition, so the backup should be small enough | |
| [19:12] <Daskreech> !backup | |
| [19:12] <ubottu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | |

| [19:12] <sky100> tc , cya | |
| [19:12] <Daskreech> Good nigh | |
| [19:14] <sohussain> could you recommend one which would be appropriate to create a one time backup, which could be restored if ever my OS blows up? | |
| [19:15] <sohussain> i.e. backup to maybe a new parition or external USB drive | |
| [19:15] <Daskreech> !cloning | |
| [19:15] <ubottu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | |
| [19:16] <Daskreech> might be easier and then just backup your /etc | |

| [21:28] <excognac> asfyxia: thanks | |

| [21:29] <bfig> hello, i'm having trouble booting the amd64 image. the boot menu looks fine, then the cd starts convulsing with a black screen | |
| [21:29] <Torch> K350: depends on what you want. desktop cube, maybe. | |
| [21:29] <Torch> K350: "like compiz" doesn't mean anything to me (or any kwin user) | |
| [21:31] <Daskreech> bfig: I'm guessing it's a AMD64 machine ? | |
| [21:32] <K350> Torch: looks like they're enabld. But kwin is not my windowmanager now. How do I make it my defautl mannager, it's not in the list in systemsettings. | |
| [21:33] <Torch> K350: can't you just check "use the default kde window manager"? | |
| [21:34] <bfig> Daskreech, yes. i figured it had something to do with kms | |
| [21:34] <bfig> ie, it didn't work with debian either, but i don't know with which parameters i should boot. any suggestion? | |
| [21:34] <Daskreech> bfig: if it helps -generic will do 64 bit if your hardware supports it | |
| [21:35] <bfig> Daskreech, is there a way to avoid kms? | |
| [21:35] <Torch> bfig: nosplash, i think | |
| [21:35] <bfig> just add that to the boot line | |
| [21:35] <bfig> ?? | |
| [21:35] <Torch> bfig: as a kernel parameter, yes. | |
| [21:36] <bfig> gonna try, thanks | |
| [21:36] <bfig> be back in a second if it didn't work >_> | |
| [21:45] <bfig> Torch, didn't work | |
| [21:47] <Torch> bfig: what happened? you should have at least seen some messages now. | |
| === hjbehling_ is now known as hjbehling | |
| [21:48] <bfig> nope :| | |
| [21:49] <bfig> screen goes black, convulsing just as before | |
| [21:51] <Torch> http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting | |
| [21:51] <Daskreech> Perhaps noacpi ? | |
| [21:51] <Torch> this suggest "nomodeset" might help.... | |
| [21:51] <Torch> Daskreech: what would acpi have to do with it at that point in the boot procedure, though? | |
| [21:53] <MaxHR> How can I get Plasma Active installed on kubuntu? | |
| [21:53] * Daskreech shrugs. Only thing I could think of that would make the screen go crazy | |
| [21:53] <Daskreech> other than driver issues which shouldn't be that prevalent that early in the boot (I mean you had video before) | |
| [21:56] <Torch> Daskreech: i would assume the kernel initializes the video card first of all... and this is what goes wrong for bfig... no? | |
| [21:57] <bfig> Torch, i would guess. a friend told me it had to do with kms (since for example, in 2.4 i don't need to touch anything related to this) | |
| [21:58] <excognac_> phew. 4.8 rocks. Special thanks to Daskreech and asfyxia | |
| [21:58] <Torch> bfig: well, try the nomodeset parameter then | |
| [21:58] <bfig> what about splash? should i erase that? | |
| [21:59] <Torch> bfig: the nosplash parameter? no, keep it. it might come in handy to diagnose errors later on. | |
| [21:59] <Torch> bfig: you can still remvove it once everything is working smoothly | |
| [22:00] <bfig> ok, but what does the 'splash' do (ie, i need to have at least one of them right?) | |
| [22:00] <Torch> bfig: splash means you don't see the diagnostic messages during boot. | |
| [22:00] <bfig> ohh awesome | |
| [22:00] <bfig> so nomodeset nosplash | |
| [22:00] <Torch> bfig: but just some graphical animation of some progress bar thingy | |
| [22:00] <bfig> no '-' ? | |
| [22:00] <Torch> bfig: i'd go with that | |
| [22:00] <Torch> bfig: nope | |
| [22:01] <bfig> great. gonna try again :). thanks! | |
| [22:01] * bfig takes the dive | |
| === wsr3193 is now known as raghorn | |
| [22:02] <excognac_> just one consistent problem: I have my home folder on separate partition, and a another distro sharing this home folder on a third partition. Before the splash screen appears there is an error message on the top: couldn't mount the mentioned partitions | |
| [22:05] <Daskreech> I probably wouldn't try sharing a home partition like that | |
| [22:06] <Daskreech> upgrades on some packages could change configurations in the ~ that would make it impossible to be read by the older packages on the other distro | |
| [22:23] <bfig> Torch, nomodeset nosplash works but no graphical mode | |
| [22:25] <Torch> bfig: yes, not surpsringly. but that can be fixed. | |
| [22:25] <Torch> bfig: what's your graphics card? | |

| [22:47] <bfig> Torch, i am speaking from wheezy with the non free driver installed | |
| [22:47] <bfig> Torch, to be honest, i just want to repartition the hard drive and i needed a livecd :D | |
| [22:49] <Daskreech> bfig: hmm? | |
| [22:49] <bfig> Daskreech, ? | |
| [22:50] <Daskreech> You need to burn a live CD? | |
| [22:50] <bfig> Daskreech, what do you mean? | |
| [22:51] <Daskreech> You said you want to repartition the drive and you need a live CD | |
| [22:51] <bfig> yes... i just need to resize the OS partition | |
| [22:52] <Kimlaroux> Anyone knows of an alternative to soundKonverter amarok script that works with amarok 2? | |
| [22:54] <Daskreech> bfig: And you ahve no live CD? | |
| [22:54] <bfig> i have... but up to now i couldn't boot it... now i can boot it but can't access gparted, so i'll have to find a way to resize the partitions from command line | |
| [22:54] <bfig> Daskreech, ^ | |
| [22:54] <Daskreech> ? | |

| [22:59] <Daskreech> Better :-) | |
| [22:59] <Daskreech> That's what does the resize when you install Kubuntu | |
| [23:01] <bfig> so what do you recommend? should i use the installer to resize the partitions or just 'try' with nomodeset nosplash and commando it up? | |
| [23:03] <KC-45> hmm | |
| [23:03] <Torch> bfig: if the installer works, why not use it? | |
| [23:03] <Torch> bfig: i wasn't even aware it could do that. | |

| [23:18] <alith> I need a little help: I can't manage to get the notification behaving exactly like I want... I found my way in customizing the notification, but didn't find a way to do exactly what I need for kopete. | |
| [23:18] <alith> I'd like to have a popup notification whenever a contact change his/her status | |
| [23:19] <alith> but I don't want it to be stored in the notification widget from the taskbar | |
| [23:20] <alith> (if I go away for say 2 hours, and since I've got 230 contacts in facebook, I will have 300 unuseful notifications... including a lot of: this guy has become available, this same guy is now offline) | |
| [23:21] <alith> I don't know if it is a problem that I can resolve with the way the notification are sent, but I don't think so. | |
| [23:22] <alith> What I was thinking about is to make a little script deleting the notification (or marking it as read) after a while, and calling it every time this type of notification is send. | |
| [23:23] <alith> But I have no idea of how to delete/mark as read a notification | |
| [23:23] <alith> or how to retrieve the specific notification | |
| [23:23] <alith> Anyone Any idea? | |
