User11: hey guys, adjusting kmix volume isn't working (though it shows it working), but when i go into playback control and change volume, it works. so it's showing the volume changing, but not actually changing it. how could i troubleshoot this problem? (kubuntu 10.10)
User12: vietnamer
User13: User11 some apps have their own independent volume control
User13: what app are you using?
User11: User13 ? it worked before, by what app am i using, do you mean the stream?
User13: the application you are using to listen to the stream
User13: for instance, I'm listening to a stream in Amarok right now
User13: the amarok volume has the most effect, but I can also lower the volume using kmix
User13: seems to be working better in 11.04 than it did in 10.10 though
User13: have you tried looking at Alsamixer?
User13: which works in the console, but is sort of graphical
User12: anyone using kubuntu 4.11
User11: o.o
User11: User13 it's ALSA plug-in
User11: o_O
User12: :D
User13: User12 I'm not sure kubuntu even existed that early -- unless you mean 11.04

User15: hello everyone
User15: I am getting the following message after executing apt-get update (kubuntu 11.04)
User15: W: Failed to fetch cdrom://Kubuntu 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release amd64 (20110427)/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
User15: any idea?
User16: User15 yes, unless you're interested on using CD as a package source, remove it from apt sources (:
User15: User16 thanks
User15: I will have a look in the source list
User16: it's right in top most likely (:
User16: also for how to do it via GUI, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu

User18: hi guys
User18: I'm trying to install Kubuntu 11.04 with an nvidia card and so far it's been a complete trainwreck
User18: I'd like some advice, is there any configuration known to work? would 10.10 work better with an nvidia card?
User19: Carnage__: It would help if you told us what problems you are having
User19: User18  ^^ sorry
User18: User19 ok, I thought it'd be a more well known problem. With the proprietary driver and compositing the computer freezes all the time, without compositing there's visual "garbage" that appears on screen all the time
User18: tried the open-source, it also crashed and sleep stopped working
User18: what I was wondering is if there's some driver that's known to be rock solid with kde
User19: User18 well its not a common problem these days as far as I know
User19: User18 what card do you have?
User18: User19 well.... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/760632
User4: Ubuntu bug 760632 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system" [High,Confirmed]
User18: User19 nvidia GT 330M
User19: User18 ahh, a mobile card... yeah have seen some issues with them in the past
User20: Hiyas
User18: User19 O_O I need to work on my thesis and this is being a disaster, I thought the weekend would be enough to install the damn thing but here am I still
User19: User18 well, you could try 10.10 or 10.04 and see if they work any better... but I am afraid I do not know of a way to solve the problem
User18: User19 I was on 10.04 with some degree of success. But I really wanted to try out kde 4.6
User18: User19 does 11.04 get the latest kde updates, or is there some special ppa? maybe updating to the latest packages would solve the issue
User19: User18 http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-release-464
User20: Ceno3x, to add the kde ppa ,  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
User18: User19 BluesKaj thx, I'm gonna try a full update and pray to a couple different gods
User20: cees_, juat update then dist-upgrade
User20: Ceno3x, ^
User18: User20 you mean "apt-get dist-upgrade"?
User20: just
User20: yes
User20: after adding the ppa of course
User18: I use aptitude usualy, I just did "aptitude update && aptitude upgrade", not interely sure if the result is different
User19: User18 you want full-upgrade then (or use dist-upgrade which means the same thing... aptitude knows about both)
User18: User19 could you explain the difference between running aptitude upgrade and aptitude dist-upgrade?
User20: Ceno3x, aptitude used to be my fav package manager/handler as well, but in 11.04 it's been depracated , or so I'm told .
User18: User20 it's not "deprecated" per se, it's just not in the default install anymore
User20: yeah , that too
User20: it never was the default afaik
User19: User18 cant remember what upgrade does.... last I remember it was depracated and suggestred you used safe- or full- upgrade  (at least from waht I remember)... but the essential difference between safe- and full (as well as just upgrade and dist-upgrade on apt-get) is that safe wont install new packages or remove unneeded packages where as full will meaning safe is safer but might not upgrade everything
User19: User20 its not deperacated but is not installed on *ubuntu any more by default under the assumption that they want to use apt-get and dont need two packagemanager (and they need to save space on the cd) ^^ but the program its self is still developed and I think debian are now faviouring aptitude
User18: User19 is there anyway to quickly see which packages are supplie by which ppa? In the ubuntu software center there'a  list of ppas on the left which then show which packages they provide. Does package kit do something of the like?
User21: User18 install muon software center, it has that feature
User18: User21 thx, will do
User21: User18 also have u tried using wvdial for your 3 modem issues.
User21: wvdial was the old tool used in configuring 3g cards and the likes, but it was decided that since network manager does all the job and does it well it was nolonger needed. I always find it to just work in my case and takes lil effort even though its a commandline tool
User18: User21 I don't think you meant to talk to me? I have no modem issues
User18: User21 yeah, muon is just what I was looking for, thx a lot!
User21: u might want to try it out. the catch is that its not installed by default on ubuntu anymore so u would have to download it. (you are effed if u dont have a secondary internet connection)
User21: oh someone was here complaining about his thesis and some network issues
User21: maybe I got it wrong then
User20: James147, I read an short article about aptitude not on par with apt-get anymore over depends issues and package builds, in 11.04
User18: User21 I was just complaining about my thesis, no modem was involved : -p
User21: User18 oh ok.. goes I need glasses then :p
User20: !aptitude
User4: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
User18: I think xorg-edgers just raped my package management
User18: only one way to find out
User22: What is the matter if kubuntu does not shut down properly? The screen dims and then nothing... It occurs occasionally...
User18: hi guys
User18: I'm trying to install nvidia-current from xorg-edgers, but apt-get insists that it has to remove 130 kde packages in other to do that. I don't understand what's happening here
User18: the driver version is 275.09.07 and I can download it from nvidia.com instead, should I? Should I read some special guide?
User23: hi, flash player stopped working after I ran some updates. The browser just doesn't load the plugin. Has anyone else had this problem?
User23: tried chrome, firefox and rekonq btw

User25: User23 have you got the latest update? (it was released a few days ago)

User27: hi, kubuntu automatically announces .udisks-ssh .libvirt and .workstation informations on my local network, can someone else simply click on them and then control my virtual machines/filesystems ?

User30: Hello
User31: hello
User32: hi
User31: I have a question on Nvidia
User31: can someone help?
User32: say
User31: ok
User31: well I am not sure whether to get a Geforce 9800 or a Gefroce 9500 ot a GTX card
User31: ??
User31: Which one will last the longest??
User31: One of my freinds has a Geforce 9500 to play Starcraft 2
User31: ok...
User31: ?
User32: ok
User31: so what do u guys suggest?
User31: ddy92i?
User32: Geforce 9800 is better
User31: why??
User31: What about the Gtx cards??
User31: They are newer?
User31: ??
User33: plop
User34: ok, got an odd problem on one of my kids accounts, the mouse is limited to a small sliver of the screen, not in the middle and not on the right side
User34: any ideas??
User34: by the way on other accounts it is fine, so somehow it is an account setting problem
User34: no one around?  Everyone out on picnics waiting to see fireworks??
User33: have you tried turning it off and on again ?
User34: User33 yeah, she has logged out and back in a few times, it has been like this for a week, and I'm just getting around to checking it out.
User33: Well... I'm not an informatic professional, so I can't help you... Sorry
User34: hmm, best I can think to do is, wipe the account and start with a clean slate, guess that is better than nothing
User33: yea, try that
User34: problem, is we don't know what caused it, soo, that  kind of leaves me at a loss
User34: or setup a second user for her
User35: hey guys
User35: I have a question. I'm Using the actual kubuntu natty with my graphics card nvidia geforce 8800gts. Effects of the Destkop are doing their work. But i wanted to see some southpark episodes and they're green and so on. False colors. Is the nvidia driver, which is installed by standart the open source one?
User36: User35 The default driver in Kubuntu for NVidia cards is the open source one
User36: User35 Please use Additional drivers from the KMenu to install the nvidia closed-source driver
User35: hmm, any reason with the open source driver?
User36: User35 AFAIC we are not allowed to ship the driver by default
User35: hmmm, which drivers in kmenu? where?
User35: kk, i'll install it per hand, no problem
User36: User35 It's under System tab in application menu
User36: Should be called "Additional drivers"
User35: aaah
User35: i didn't saw it till jet, thanx
User35: if not, i had choose the debian way (fu english, sry)
User36: User35 You're welcome, that should do the trick, please note that this version of driver is unfortunately affected by  bug #760632
User4: Launchpad bug 760632 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/760632
User35: thank you, hmm, there stands, that unity cannot rin without the nvidia driver, the proprietary. How can they deliver it by default?
User36: User35 No idea, I am not using unity :)
User35: hehe
User35: I'm using kde, cuz gnome gone shiat and unity sucks :P
