User1: appears with "deafult" name
User1: default*
User2: hm
User3: gomiboy: got it closer to sorted.  it needed 'xinerama' not 'twinview'.  Thanks
User4: redeyyez, the nvidia driver to use is the recommended one... the other , if there is one, it might be an experimental driver which will surely crash your system.
User4: ^waffles, pls describe your boot process , and do you get bootloader menu ?, namely grub iirc it even installs on wubi.
User4: I thought you had a wubi install , that' not dual booting
User4: wubi is not a dual boot, let's be clear on that ...we need to know exactly what  kind of setup you have before we can proceed ..."whatever" doesn't cut it in these situations
User5: User4 we've been as far as determining this being a Wubi install earlier today already..  and as far as I understand the Wubi docs, it's standard behaviour that the Wubi installer creates a boot option for *buntu in the Windows bootloader
User4: yes szal , I've used wubi , but we have to be sure that's what is ...unfortunately that makes this more complicated...he should be able to see the ubuntu files in windows, but I'm wondering if he can access them
User2: ok. stick a fork in it
User2: there is no way to get this damn artigo video to work with a linux driver unless i run some ancient version when via was actually supporting it
User2: lame
User2: guess i will try windows 7 home on it
User4: that's a shame , Macer
User4: anyway, that's it for me today .... movietime , later folks
User2: it sure is a shame
User2: it would have made for an awesome box
User2: but they used this crap obscure s3 video card and then didn't support it past ubuntu 8 or something :)
User2: lame sauce
User5: User2 the S3 is so old, there were Win16 drivers for it
User5: iirc
User2: User5 heh
User2: well.. unichromes aren't really too old
User6: who know ubuntu10.04 how to protect stack?
User5: define 'protect stack'
User6: just like proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield
User7: sharing a drive via samba.
User7: yet it asks for a password when i try to connect to it. and its not one of my passwords.
User7: how do i fix this anyone?
User5: see ~/.Xsession-errors, /var/log/kdm.log, /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old) for clues
User8: Hello.
User9: hi guys. I have some java files here that I need to install as an app. Could anyone kindly tell me how to provide the permissions required to the program in order to run?
User10: User9 add +x to the file . chmod +x <filename> , or give it 755 permission , chmod 755 <filename>
User11: any1 has issue with rekonq..for me it jus stops responding quite often..i ve to restart the app again..
User12: User11 start rekonq from the console, and see what's happening when it freezes
User11: valorie, ok..will do..1nce the issue happens again i ll get back to u..
User11: valorie, while startup, http://pastebin.com/54Q70nvK is normal??
User13: User11 yes
User11: User13 ok..
User14: Any one know anything about Making a splash screen for kubuntu ?  I have tried downloading a a tar file  changing all the permissions then changing out the pictures and renaming the new pictures to what the old ones are then re-taring it still nothing
User12: User14 you can change the splash in systemsettings
User14: no \
User12: yes
User14: after I make it and install it it wont load or do anything
User14: no preview or anything
User12: you are supposed to use systemsettings to do that
User14: what do you mean
User14: I use system settings --> workspace --> splash to tey and install it It is when I am making it I am making the mistake
User12: ok
User12: here is a way to do it via the cli: http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/04/how-to-select-the-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/
User14: thanks
User12: although it's a bit old, it will probably still work
User12: back to spam-fighting
User14: that is to use just to use splashes that are install or all ready made
User14: I am trying to make my own
User14: or replace pictures in one that is made
User12: you might look at the coding in kde-looks
User12: there are some splashes there
User12: !splash
User15: To change your KDE splash screen go to System Settings -> Appearance -> Splash Screen
User12: heh
User14: I know how to change my splash I just dont know how to make one that will work
User14: where is coding on kde-look I can not find it
User12: you would have to download the source
User12: since they are opensource, I assume the sources are available
User13: User14 i'd say look on techbase.kde.org
User14: thanks shadeslayer
User11: where do i file a bug related to kubuntu???is it in launchpad??i dnt see a file bug link there..
User16: User11 yes, if it's directly related to kubuntu itself.

User11: i have servers which i access using keybased ssh..gnome used to save the passphrase in gnome-ssh-agent..and it was out of the box, i didn ve to configure anythng there.. how to do this in kde..i ve not used kde much..
User11: can some1 suggest a sound recorder in kde??
User18: I have fresh installation of Kubuntu 10.10 (64bit)
User18: I can see my sound card identified by linux but still unable to play any file. .
User19: cyberbob, is all volume turned on?
User19: No sound channel muted?
User18: yes all are
User18: there is a builtin speaker in my machine but no voice from that as well as from sound jacks. .
User18: yes no channel is muted
User12: in 10.10 I had to unmute in Alsamixer
User12: all the time
User12: so you might check it -- run alsamixer in the console
User12: you use arrow keys to move arround, and m = mute
User18: User12 I have adopted the same practice unmuted all channels  . .
User12: cool
User12: have you installed or uninstalled pulseaudio?
User18: but still no luck !!
User12: i've always had good luck with PA, but some people must uninstall it
User18: User12 it is fresh installation I just installed mpg123 to listen my favorite mp3's
User18: moreover it is an HP machine dc 5150
User18: any idea howto overcome this issue
User7: after installing an app via wine, what should i do next, it doesn't open trys for a second then diappears.
User12: !sound
User15: If you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
User12: User18 ^^^ some suggestins
User12: suggestions
User12: if you are trying to play mp3s you will have to install the proper codecs
User12: easiest way to do that is sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
User12: which gives you flash and such also
User18: User12 #lsmod |grep snd  shows some codec already installed
User18: one of them is snd_ac97_codec , i think this serves the purpose  . .
User12: depending on what you are playing it with
User12: phonon requires different files than just alsa, for instance
User18: User12 that is right but when system boots it plays a default sound but in my case nothing. .
User18: so i think there is some issue else codecs.
User12: hmmm, I had this problem one time, too
User12: what did I do about it?
User12: did you also check Kmix for muted channels?
User12: so many places things can get muted
User12: and do you have any hardware buttons that could mute
User18: User12 yes I have checked already as in ubuntu we go for graphics controls first than move onto console ..
User18: this is a desktop machine and nobutton for muting audio ..
User7: buttons are overrated
User18: I am thinking of re-installing/updating alsa-base alsa-utils;
User18: and trying one deadly thing #killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* . Hope that works. .
User20: hello, how will i know on which file does my phone goes to if i attached it to my pc using usb? lsusb only gives me the bus and device number, i am looking for something like /dev/tty ..
User21: ahh this is driving me nuts. my laptop fan is constantly running at max speed. I don't know how to address this issue. can anyone help?
User21: im running kubuntu 11.04 on a lenovo thinkpad x1

User15: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
User12: !info bluedevil
User15: bluedevil (source: bluedevil): The KDE bluetooth stack. In component main, is optional. Version 1.1-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 215 kB, installed size 1288 kB
User12: that isn't much help

User22: hi

User22: however, i am able to reach the router
User22: peace: i set up the dns manually

User22: i will reset my router to the default settings and see what happen
User22: i hope that this will work
User22: ok
User22: bye
User23: someone knwo why my Xorg process is using 90% of my cpu ?
User24: Sorry, I'm new to kubuntu: Is it correct that one has to add "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu natty main" to the source list if you want to migrate to the latest kde-release?
User11: ubuntu doesn't have /var/log/messages????wat is the alternative then??/var/log/dmesg??
User25: rather /var/log/syslog
User26: !netsplit
User15: 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
User27: Hi there, guess I got a simple problem: I'm trying to remove an hidden widget from my desktop
User27: I see it a boot time, then it vanishes
User4: Hiyas all
User11: wat is the alternative of /var/log/messages in kubuntu?? i dnt find one in my installation..
User28: you have /var/log/messages
User28: but probably it is empty
User28: try file yofel mentioned
User27: User11 /var/log/syslog
User11: User27 ok..
User27: I have one more issue: when i start the PC, KDE (kdm) is not started: I get a console login prompt, then, after few mins, kdm start
User28: User27 it looks like dkms issue
User28: you could try with nomodest parameter
User27: Perhaps this has something to do with my issue? [   85.770181] tda1004x: timeout waiting for DSP ready
User27: [   85.880114] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid
User27: [   85.880123] tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...
User27: Then, after a while [  117.370400] tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok
User27: and then again [  252.221336] ioremap error for 0xc7f90000-0xc7f91000, requested 0x10, got 0x0
User27: But the weid thing is that if I manually login as root and issue an /etc/init.d/kdm start, kdm starts... fine
User4: bodom, this might help , check system settings>startup&shutdown>session management >on login , check restore previous session
User27: User4 How is this supposed to solve my issue?
User4: bodom, I thought it might work by restoring previous session , thereby autostarting kdm
User27: User4 Afaik, session is restored after kdm startup and login
User4: well it was worth a shot , you asked and I answered
User27: User4 sure, thank you!
User28: User27 did you to boot with nomodeset?
User27: User28 no, I'm gonna try it next reboot (added to grub settings)
User4: bodom, make sure kdm in /etc/init.d properties points to /lib/init/upstart-job ,
User27: User4 yes, it does
User27: User28 reading about nomodeset, I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers instead of nouveau, does this makes difference?
User28: User27 afaik proprietary drivers do not support kms
User28: so nomdeset is option no1 for proprietary drivers
User29: hi
User29: hola a tod@s
User29: alguien sabe como activar el indicador de mensajes de kmail ?
User29: he investigado las opciones de kmail pero no hay nada que activa dicha opcion
User27: User29 !spanish
User27: User29 this is an english only channel, please type in english
User29: ok , i don't know
User29: i'm sorry
User29: bodom thanks for pointing out the channel
User29: glup !! I am the only Spanish channel
User29: anyone know how to turn on the message kmail?
User28: what kind of message?
User28: mail message or system informations?
User29: message indicator
User29: kmail mail messages
User28: have you set it properly
User29: I've looked at properties kmail but there is nothing that you can enable this option
User28: i meant have you set stmp properly
User29: I found it !!!, thanks
User4: kmail is clunky since kde4
User4: and akonadi really screwed it up
User11: amarok is sad..
User4: I avoid amarok
User4: usually remove it after hoping it will work to my way of thinking , but whoever configured it's functions obviously doesn't use the same thought processes  as me :)
User11: it doesn even have player controls..a newbie to kde like me is so sad..
User30: it has player controlls.
User11: while ripping cd to ogg in amarok, it doesn even respond..
User30: why use amarok just do it w/ dolphin.
User4: it does you habe to enable them by right clicking on the tilebar and choosing options in the dropdown
User4: have to
 * BluesKaj doesn't understand why ppl insist on using lossy audio
User11: User30 how to do tat with dolphin?
User4: VLC does what I need for all media
User30: User11  to do it via dolphin you first want to look in system settings -> multimedia -> names  and ogg voribs tabs; set it up how u like  , then put in ur cd open w/ dolphin and copy the files you want..
User30: i use amarok to play music and dragon or vlc for video some times one will play a video wrong so i use the other
User30: User11  when you open in dolphin you should see a ogg , mp3 wav flac folders you can just copy the tracks from there it will encode to that format on the fly
User4: VLc works well for our HT setup because it outputs dolby digital and dts directly via the spdif to audio receiver coax/dac inputs
User30: nice, i have not special set up atm so it just works via 3.5mm jacks
User31: I need some help. I've got some updates to install, but when I click apply in kpackagekit it brings up a window saying "additional changes are required to complete the task". Basically it wants to remove grub-efi and grub-efi-amd64 and install the bios version of grub. How can I get around this?
User4: sithlord48, we use this pc as a media server for our tv and audio system , just wish i could figure a way to dump contents from the pvr to this hdd
User4: Peace-, nvidia drivers are still broken according to yofel
User30: ouch.
User30: oneiric is ok so far for me , but its only in a VM
User30: i was gonna try on my netbook but if intel video is broken maybe i should wait.
User4: Peace-, kate still crashing ,,,ahh that was one of the resaons I reverted to natty
User30: i had a few day old daily build cd
User30: kdesc 4.7 seams nice
User30: cause on naty im gettings some black background on items that shouldn't have them .. (natty , xcrack ppa)
User30: or is it called xorg-edgers now
User30: i like rekonq , it works good for me on natty
User4: well, I'm going to wait til DR and 3D are working on nvidia-current ...no experimental drivers that break my system , for me ..had enuff grief
User30: my bank works w/ rekonq
User30: lame
User4: chromium?
User32: Peace-: installing it would mean dropping plenty of other stuff from cd
User32: anyway, all this is more suitable for #kubuntu-offtopic
User30: i wish they would drop the FF installer, its a waste of space can't people just use the packing installer
User33: My mouse cursor keeps disappearing!  Any ideas how to get it back?
User33: hmm, it says that desktop effects are already disabled for technical reasons
User30: properiatary driver?
User33: how can I check?
User4: I normally o't copy dvds , but I have Cream Reunion DVD that I'd ike to add tomy media fis ...dos cdrecord work with dvd ?
User4: don't
User30: do u know what kind of video card u have ?
User33: User30 it says i'm not using any proprietary drivers
User33: but that one is available
User33: ATI
User30: what one?
User33: i'll give the driver a go
User30: wait
User30: do u know what card u have?
User30: run lspci  in konsole (look for video section ) if u don't
User33: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series
User30: you should be covered w/ the open driver, but since your mobility user the properitary might be a better choice simply for better power config ability
User33: okay, trying to prop. driver - thanks
User34: Hey all could someone tell me if muon software manager is included with kubuntu?
User35: hello peoples. i have a very annoying problem that is driving me insane, and want soe help. my laptop doesn't get dhcp addresses oon wifi. any idea how to debug this? note that i have no control over the access points
User34: Or could someone tell me if there is an easier way to install programs rather than use kpackagekit?
User35: dean apt-get install?
User34: gorgonizer: But program names aren't always the right names. I heard kubuntu was starting to get muon software centre preinstalled and wondered if 11.04 has it?
User35: dean, its gorgonzola, gorgonizer is some other peep. I'm sorry, but i don't understand your question.
User4: dean is gone .no patience , typically requires instant gratifacation
User36: yup
User4: didn't even wait 5 mis
User4: mins
User37: ....
 * BluesKaj thinks he's being trolled
User33: Hey all
User33: My mouse cursor disappears after a while of using kubuntu
User33: I've just tried changing to the proprietary driver, but it made no difference
User33: The only way that I know to get the cursor back is to log out :-/
User33: hmm
User33: I tried creating a new desktop session
User33: and in that new desktop session I have a cursor
User33: but it didn't make the cursor come back in the original session
User33: kwin --replace  doesn't help
User38: hello is the installation process the same in kubuntu 11.4 than in ubuntu 11.4?
User25: User38 it looks a bit different obviously, but it's the same installer
User38: ah ok
User38: yofel, is there a first thing to do guide after installation somewhere? you know installing codecs, flash etc
User25: not that I know of right now, someone else might know
User39: che alfplayer ,synaptic es de gnome?
User40: hola
User40: es basado en gtk
User39: che alfplayer ,te pregunto porque instale kubuntu y no aparece
User40: en muchas distros viene instalado con gnome
User40: no estoy seguro
User39: en debian con kde esta synaptic x defecto
User40: creo q ahora no va a venir mÃ¡s synaptic en ubuntu
User40: podÃ©s buscar el centro de software si te viene bien
User39: buenoi pero uno lo puede instalar luego
User40: kubuntu puede tener otro como synaptic
User40: no sÃ©, no estoy usando kubuntu
User40: buscÃ¡ si viene otro q se llama PackageKit o similar
User40: sÃ­, se puede instalar y usar normalmente
User40: pero si tenÃ©s otro ya instalado no habrÃ­a necesidad de instalarlo
User39: que otro
User40: el q dije
User39: a ok
User40: podÃ©s buscar el q dije
User40: no sÃ© porque no estoy usando kubuntu
User41: does anyone know if kde needs a .profile file in the /home folders of the user??
User39: ubuntu4shane, i have this file
User41: User39 is it empty?
User39: ubuntu4shane, no
User41: ohh, duuuuhh,  I just checked my account, I too have a generic one, checking for bashrc
User41: and declaring my bin
User41: but basically for my kids accounts I shouldn't need it
User25: User41 usually not, it's there because on user setup the contents of /etc/skel/ are copied to the users home folder.
User41: User25 ok, I figured it was a generic file.  I had something in there from before for my kids, but deleting it was easier than modifying them, so I just dumped them.
User41: User25 thanks.
User42: Hey, having some issues with my sound card suddenly not working. (using kubuntu 11.04 with a realtek intel HD 883 chip).
User42: Do I have a mystery for you. :P Running kubuntu 11.04. ubuntu-bug audio manages to play audio to my speakers. But seems nothing else manages to.
User42: Haha, who thought of the damned brilliant idea of starting the audio system MUTED?! :P
