[00:05] <ngirard> Hi all. Since my update from hardy to intrepid, my <down> key only works in console. It generates no X event. How to fix this ?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> ngirard: check system settings so that your keyboard is correct
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> ngirard: or set it to something diferent, then back
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> ngirard: are you running compiz?
[00:14] <ngirard> ActionParsnip: I fixed the problem. Thanks for your assistance !
[00:14] <vit> holaaaaaa
[00:14] <vit> a todos
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> ngirard: was i right?
[00:15] <vit> akqguien de venezuela
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> !br
[00:16] <ngirard> ActionParsnip: Yes you were. Silly enough, the layout was defined correctly inxorg.conf but I had to specify it again via kde control panel. Weird...
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> ngirard: well you got the score so wtg :)
[00:21] <cbwcjw> I thought venezuelans spoke spanish, not portuges :P
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> !es
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> cbwcjw: they speak a few i'd imagine
[00:31] <cbwcjw> !ActionParsnip :P Alrighty
[00:31] <cbwcjw> Oops....
[00:36] <jals> is there anything that ships with Interpid that monitors system temperatures?
[00:39] <hubar> hmm.
[00:39] <hubar> I know kde 4.2 has applet that monitors that. :)'
[00:40] <kubiak> hello
[00:40] <cbwcjw> !hi | kubaik
[00:40] <kubiak> haha, it seems cbwcjw is not a bot
[00:40] <kubiak> :)
[00:41] <cbwcjw> haha
[00:41] <jals> hubar, do i need to install anything to make that applet work? it doesn't seem to be finding any sensors
[00:41] <kubiak> i have one question, it's about the full kcontrol panel, i now i was not included before, but now i'm running the latest kubuntu and it would seem it's still not ported ?
[00:41] <kubiak> anyone know what i'm even talking about ?  :D
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> kubiak: i think you mean systemsettings ?
[00:42] <kubiak> ActionParsnip: something like that, but in kde i've often seen two panels, one being alot more complete
[00:42] <danielq> hola
[00:42] <kubiak> i can only find the one that looks like the mac os panel.
[00:42] <kubiak> hi danielq
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> kubiak: systemsettings has basic and advanced options (see tabs) at the top
[00:43] <danielq> speak spanish
[00:43] <cbwcjw> !es | danielq
[00:44] <kubiak> ActionParsnip: thanks :P  however that is the minimal panel or so it should seem
[00:44] <danielq> thak
[00:44] <danielq> thank
[00:44] <cbwcjw> danielq: de nada
[00:44] <danielq> hasta luego
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> kubiak: do you not have an advanced tab ?
[00:45] <yoolao> hello, does some one knows how to suspend to ram from command line?
[00:45] <kubiak> ActionParsnip: there is the advanced tab
[00:45] <kubiak> but i'm wondering if things aren't just a bit "hidden"
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> kubiak: not sure, what are you after?
[00:46] <kubiak> ActionParsnip: do you "remember" the kcontrol panel and kde 3.X ?  the one that had a whole bunch of things
[00:46] <kubiak> for starters, i'm looking for an option to change the color of the panel  :p
[00:47] <Sp0tKubuntu> If i got 2 acpi and acpid installed, can that be why me battery status dosent work?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> kubiak: yeah i know what you mean, as far as I can see it's all there
[00:47] <kubiak> okay ActionParsnip
[00:47] <kubiak> well maybe it's just organised differently and i have to look closer into all the tabs and options and such
[00:48] <willianvalle> some people know if konqueror not run orkut.com? because here stay in one blank page x.x
[00:48] <kubiak> thank you for confirming that you have found all you need in there, i'm going to take a closer look
[00:48] <pardaloco> boas
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> kubiak: if theres something you can't find it may be set elsewhere
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Orkut is a social networking service which is run by Google and named after its creator, an employee of Google
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> willianvalle: does it work in other browsers like opera?
[00:51] <kubiak> bye bye :)
[00:51] <kubiak> see you later
[00:52] <willianvalle> i used opera browser, but it have others problems , like problemens with  my college website.
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> willianvalle: or try firefox
[00:58] <willianvalle> yes, i am using. nobody knows how to run orkut in konqueror?
[01:09] <shadowhywind> does anyone know how to change the font color of a current session in konsole
[01:10] <JontheEchidna> Settings -> Edit current profile -> appearance
[01:11] <shadowhywind> sorry, I should have been more clear, from a console command
[01:11] <Sp0tKubuntu> Crazy, when i was on 32 bit on my machine, i used only 700Mb RAM ca, now im on 64 bit, almost same appz, and using over 1Gb
[01:11] <Sp0tKubuntu> Is that because its converting to 32 bit from 64?
[01:11] <JontheEchidna> shadowhywind: oh, I have no clue then
[01:12] <shadowhywind> JontheEchidna: thanks anyways, hehe I had it setup nicely for kde 3, just haven't had the time till now to try to get it working on kde 4
[01:14] <Gun_Smoke> Sp0tKubuntu: yes because of 64 bit
[01:14] <Sp0tKubuntu> Gun_Smoke: Ok, Thanks! :-) I thought i was that, just have to be sure
[01:15] <Gun_Smoke> there is no real benifit to using 64 bit over 32.. 64 bit is really good a crunching massive numbers better and handeling more ram than 32 and that's about it.
[01:15] <Sp0tKubuntu> Is there a nice program for linux to see hardware details, like in windows, RAM, HDD, CPU, TEMP, and so on and so on?
[01:16] <Gun_Smoke> So unless you have more than 3G mem or do a lot of scientific caculations on a regular basis.. 32 is usually better bet
[01:16] <Sp0tKubuntu> Gun_Smoke: Thats ok, i have 4Gb, and want to use them .-D
[01:17] <Gun_Smoke> You can also still use 32 bit but then you'd need the big_mem kernel.
[01:17] <Sp0tKubuntu> Gun_Smoke: Converting DVDś, unpacking rar archives and so on, so i think i will be happy for 64
[01:17] <Gun_Smoke> not sure if that's how it's labled.
[01:17] <Sp0tKubuntu> Gun_Smoke: The big-mem?
[01:17] <Gun_Smoke> I have used both 64 and 32 on my T61 and don't really notice a difference..
[01:18] <Gun_Smoke> big mem kernel will address more than 3G or mem for 32 bit
[01:18] <Sp0tKubuntu> I do, i see i works faster, and more stable
[01:18] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm ok, and i can go back as easy to 32 from 64 as the other way??'
[01:19] <Gun_Smoke> it's a reinstall
[01:19] <Sp0tKubuntu> I know
[01:19] <Sp0tKubuntu> But i have my /home with all my stuff
[01:19] <Sp0tKubuntu> So i just format /
[01:20] <Sp0tKubuntu> Have 2 partitions
[01:20] <Sp0tKubuntu> Well 3, with the swap
[01:20] <Gun_Smoke> yeah pretty much..
[01:20] <Sp0tKubuntu> Then i can go back that easy? format / and reinstall 32 bit?
[01:21] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, thats easy! :-D
[01:21] <Sp0tKubuntu> Im surprised
[01:21] <Gun_Smoke> I just looked at it again.. I can't find a bigmem kernel image for buntu
[01:21] <Gun_Smoke> I know debian has one.
[01:21] <Gun_Smoke> yeah if you have your home folder you'll be up and running in what.. 25 min
[01:21] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm, try to ask at the danish ubuntu forum then
[01:21] <Pici> ubuntu-server supports PAE
[01:21] <Pici> er, the ubuntu-server kernel rather.
[01:22] <Gun_Smoke> good call
[01:22] <Gun_Smoke> then just build from there
[01:22] <Sp0tKubuntu> Think it took 15 min, my root is only 15 gb :-)
[01:22] <Gun_Smoke> so yeah they fly..
[01:22] <Sp0tKubuntu> Thanks for the help :-)
[01:22] <Gun_Smoke> np
[01:23] <Sp0tKubuntu> MS could learn alot inhere :-D
[01:23] <Sp0tKubuntu> Only reason to have windows, is for playing games, hope that will have a end. and linux taking over .-D
[01:24] <Gun_Smoke> might as well just get a consel
[01:24] <Sp0tKubuntu> Nah, thats plain and boring :-D
[01:24] <shadowhywind> does anyone know how to send leyboard strokes (like a keepass) to a konsole
[01:24] <Sp0tKubuntu> I like playing with alot of graphic details
[01:25] <Gun_Smoke> errr console
[01:25] <Sp0tKubuntu> Specielly in L4D :-)
[01:25] <Sp0tKubuntu> errr?
[01:25] <Gun_Smoke> sp error
[01:25] <Sp0tKubuntu> Console is not enough, the graphic is not so good like PC
[01:26] <Gun_Smoke> 42" plasma and HD games?
[01:27] <Sp0tKubuntu> yeah, still not good enough, the graphic on PS3 and Xbox is lame agains PC gaming
[01:27] <Sp0tKubuntu> Have you seen the comparising of doom 3 on PC and xbox?
[01:27] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hell of alot of graphic material missing on xbox
[01:27] <Sp0tKubuntu> PC + HDTV ;-)
[01:27] <Sp0tKubuntu> Thats the way
[01:28] <Sp0tKubuntu> Dual 42" .-P
[01:28]  * Sp0tKubuntu dreaming
[01:29] <Sp0tKubuntu> Anyhow, PS3 is Sony, and Xbox i MS, so fair, no change! LinuxBOX plz!
[01:29] <Sp0tKubuntu> :-)
[01:30] <Sp0tKubuntu> Then i buy a console
[01:30] <shadowhywind> JontheEchidna: Btw, for future refrence, in case someelse wants to know, in the konsole, konsoleprofile colors=<profile name>
[01:36] <Gun_Smoke> I believe I saw something on digg a few days ago about ubuntu running on a ps3
[01:36] <cbwcjw> Well, my KDE crashed and wouldnt start...
[01:36] <cbwcjw> Just reinstalled it. It would hang at start and I was too lazy to fix it.
[01:37] <Zorix> you broke it :/
[01:38] <dragos> hello
[01:38] <cbwcjw> !hi | dragos
[01:39] <cbwcjw> Zorix: Yea :( All I was doing was setting up VNC enterprise though...
[01:39] <Zorix> wonder what broke
[01:40] <cbwcjw> Something about ICE
[01:43] <dragos> he carolina
[01:43] <PSiL0> so, how is the experience of upgrading fglrx to 9.1?
[01:43] <PSiL0> especially using amd's installer..

[01:53] <erpo> For technical reasons, I can't upgrade past nvidia driver 173. Have there been any stability/performance improvements made in the latest kubuntu-experimental PPA to address the problems that KDE 4.2 has with older nvidia drivers such as the one I'm using?
[01:53] <kurumin> hello!

[02:05] <cbwcjw> So, How am I supposed to make my taskbar transparent
[02:05] <cbwcjw> It was before...
[02:06] <Pyles17> my intel 3945 wireless card only works occasionally. the driver comes with ubuntu, but "lshw -C network" says the card is "UNCLAIMED". i've given up, i don't know what to do
[02:06] <cbwcjw> So, How am I supposed to make my taskbar transparent.. It was before I re-installed KDE
[02:12] <dragos> for taskbar: setting -> Desktop -> Panels -> Apperance
[02:13] <dragos> ->set transparent -> choice color int the advance option
[02:14] <deever> hi
[02:15] <deever> why the hell can knetworkmanager establish the connection to my wlan, but the standard debian ipupdown tools can't?
[02:15] <Pyles17> !language
[02:16] <Pyles17> !language
[02:16] <Pyles17> it doesn't work
[02:16] <Pyles17> anyway, all-ages room, watch your language please
[02:16] <kaddi_> !ohmy
[02:17] <kaddi_> i would have sworn that was the right one XD
[02:17] <Pyles17> it is, ubottu isn't in the room
[02:17] <jimdb> is there a way with kde 4.2 to show mounted volumes on the desktop (hard drives and network drives)?
[02:17] <kaddi_> where did he go? :o
[02:17] <cbwcjw> Whered ubotto go to :(
[02:18] <cbwcjw> [21:10] *** ubottu quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[02:18] <erpo> deever: Your wlan probably uses WPA. IIRC, that requires launching wpa_supplicant to connect, which is a major pain when you have to do it without networkmanager.
[02:18] <cbwcjw> Yay! Hes Back!
[02:18] <cbwcjw> !botsnack
[02:18] <cbwcjw> :( He didnt accept my snack. Sigh.
[02:18] <Pyles17> !botsnack
[02:19] <cbwcjw> !botsnack
[02:19] <cbwcjw> Well, it was worth a try.
[02:21] <cbwcjw> Wow!
[02:21] <deever> erpo: even if i have the parameters in the /etc/network/interfaces?
[02:21] <PSiL0> laggy lag...
[02:25] <_olaf> when upgrading to kde 4.2 through the third party repo
[02:25] <_olaf> it errors
[02:25] <Pyles17> no clue on the intel 3945 wireless then?
[02:25] <_olaf> it didn't 2 nights ago
[02:26] <_olaf> anyone know what's up?
[02:31] <deever> erpo: ?
[02:33] <keres> deever: he was active on #ubuntu 10 minutes ago
[02:35] <_olaf> i googled it
[02:35] <_olaf> i think this might be the problem
[02:35] <_olaf> http://www.linux-archive.org/kubuntu-user/236265-upgrade-kde-4-2-a-2.html
[02:35] <_olaf> for future reference if anyone else asks
[02:36] <etfb> Firefox has started closing randomly, usually as it's opening a new page.  It didn't used to do that, and I don't think I changed anything.  I'm on Intrepid with KDE4.2.  Any guesses where to start debugging?
[02:40] <etfb> Also: I tweaked some UI settings in KDE4.2 using some kind of GUI tool that I now can't find.  It had stuff about making the windows wobble as you drag them (which doesn't work, BTW).  Does that ring a bell for anyone?
[02:42] <astromme> etfb: Right click a window title, configure window behavior -> Desktop Effects -> All effects
[02:43] <etfb> astromme: That was it! Thanks!

[02:45] <deever> keres: sorry, didn's see that you were saying #ubuntu instead of #kubuntu! ;)
[02:48] <Brandon_X> hello everyone I have a ?
[02:49] <al3x-admin> Hi all! I have a prob. Some days ago I remove one item from the Kmenu (KDE4.2) (right click > edit menu > remove item > save) and since then when I install/remove an app the Kmenu doesnt get updated, and I have to update it with kbuildsycocoa4. Any ideas how could I fix this? Its not really a big thing, but its anoying...
[02:49] <Brandon_X> I'm attempting to run UT2004 with WINE, apparently when I try to run it, it logs me out of kubuntu, someone please help!
[02:49] <erpo> Brandon_X: I think UT2004 has a native linux version. You might try that.
[02:50] <astromme> Brandon_X: Sounds like an X crash. But yeah I'd try the native version
[02:50] <Brandon_X> me and a friend tryed installing it with installer.sh no luck
[02:50] <Brandon_X> and I don't have the native version
[02:50] <Brandon_X> I ordered the windows/linux version off ebay
[02:50] <erpo> Brandon_X: If you have the windows discs, I think you can download the rest of what you need.
[02:51] <Brandon_X> all I wanna do is be able to play my games, ever since I switched over from xp, i've had nothing but problems
[02:52] <erpo> Brandon_X: Ubuntu/Linux is not the OS for trouble-free gaming.
[02:53] <erpo> Brandon_X: FWIW, I've found that games that crash X in KDE 4/4.2 work fine in Gnome.
[02:53] <Brandon_X> well anyways as I said earlier, me and a friend tryed using the installer.sh that came on the cd, which is the install file for linux
[02:54] <Brandon_X> well that is bs
[02:54] <Brandon_X> why can't we the community, develope kubuntu like windows, at least make it more easier to use
[02:55] <erpo> Brandon_X: I don't know what's up with KDE. I want to love the new look, but it crashes every 15 minutes for me.
[02:55] <Brandon_X> it seems gnome was a more reliable desktop
[02:55] <erpo> Brandon_X: That's my experience.
[02:56] <Brandon_X> is there anyway I can switch to gnome without changing os
[02:56] <wers> kde 4.2 doesnt wake up from sleep properly. any idea why? it works fine on gnome. when i wake up from kde 4.2, it goes back to sleep then wakes up then goes back to sleep then wakes up over and over again
[02:56] <erpo> Brandon_X: Yes. You can go to a command line and run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.
[02:56] <erpo> Brandon_X: When it's finished, you can log out and log back in using gnome.
[02:56] <Brandon_X> under kubuntu?
[02:56] <erpo> Brandon_X: Yes.
[02:56] <erpo> Brandon_X: The only difference between kubuntu and ubuntu is which packages are installed by default.
[02:57] <erpo> Brandon_X: I started with Ubuntu and converted to KDE using the command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.
[02:57] <Brandon_X> Well i like kubuntu, because it's easy to use. but I know theres a way to make this work
[02:58] <Brandon_X> I mean i try loading the game I get slammed with all kind of crazy colors etc on the screen
[02:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ive just installed a packet called hwtest, but i cant find the program anywhere?
[02:59] <olskolirc> hey guys how come I can't edit my menu?  and what is the command to update my menus?
[02:59] <erpo> Sp0tKubuntu: You can run the comman dpkg-deb --contents FILE.deb on the package to find out what files it installs.
[03:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> erpo: Ok, thats to complicated for me :-D
[03:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> Im used to press a button, and then i runs :-)
[03:00] <jimdb> time to get a mac
[03:00] <erpo> Sp0tKubuntu: Sorry. Linux isn't that good yet. :)
[03:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, u say linux dosent work? :-)
[03:01] <jimdb> i've used all, linux, mac, and windows.  linux is excellent.  if you don't know how to get it working then you should get someone to set up windows for you.
[03:01] <Sp0tKubuntu> I hope it will be then, the other thing is TO hard for most common ppl
[03:01] <erpo> Sp0tKubuntu: It usually works for me, but it isn't always as easy to use as it could be.
[03:01] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Say hello go ignore, jerk
[03:01] <Sp0tKubuntu> to*
[03:02] <Sp0tKubuntu> erpo: Then its not fair ppl telling ppl linux is know for all
[03:02] <Sp0tKubuntu> Thats NOT true then
[03:02] <erpo> Sp0tKubuntu: Linux is definitely good enough for some people.
[03:02] <jimdb> i wasn't being a jerk.  I was being realistic.  if linux is harder than clicking the icon to launch the program then so is windows and so is the mac.  and if it's hard to do other things then someone else should set it up for you.  i was being honest.
[03:03] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Sorry, i just used to ppl flaming noobs like me, im a windows user you see ;-) Want to run linux! :-D
[03:04] <Brandon_X> ok me and my friend are gonna go gnome
[03:04] <Brandon_X> we gonna get the pckage
[03:04] <Brandon_X> which package is the BASE for gnome
[03:04] <Sp0tKubuntu> erpo: I think its ok, but still to hard at some points! I cant even get it to play DVD proper, its lagging BAD
[03:04] <Brandon_X> gnome-common?
[03:04] <jimdb> after 25 years in computing, and after spending 15 years in technical support and then spending the past 5 years running my own shop, I have found that people that have difficulty with linux really have problems with adjusting their thinking.  It's not linux.
[03:04] <eatThisAndDie> jimdb: You can move mountains before you move people
[03:05] <erpo> eatThisAndDie: Well said. :)
[03:05] <jimdb> what I said wasn't moving?
[03:05] <Brandon_X> does anyone know which package for GNOME is the primary package
[03:05] <Brandon_X> which contains everything GNOME
[03:05] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Its like starting from scrath, thats what i see, forget windows, yes! BUT, its still not easy using linux yet, but i hope it will be, because i like freedom :-)
[03:05] <jimdb> most everyone using windows today has had it set up for them.  if linux was the same we'd not be disputing ease of use.
[03:05] <erpo> Sp0tKubuntu: That is true. Part of the DVD problem is related to messed up laws in the U.S. and other places. If LInux weren't handicapped, its DVD playback support would probably be adequate for 90% of the people out there.
[03:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> erpo: Are you telling me i cant get it to run then? :-((
[03:06] <jimdb> both windows and linux have the same dvd issues.
[03:06] <eatThisAndDie> brandon-x: do u mean gnome-desktop?
[03:06] <Brandon_X> yes
[03:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> Windows?? Plays DVD like a dream here
[03:06] <cbwcjw2> !purekde
[03:06] <jimdb> no one is entitled to watch the dvd unless they have a legit codec.  the issue is where does the legit codec come from?  you can buy products such as windvd for linux.
[03:07] <erpo> Sp0tKubuntu: It depends on what your problem is. If you live in the U.S. and you're willing to break a few laws, you can get DVD playback to work just fine.
[03:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: problem is on ORIGINAL DVDs ti
[03:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> to*
[03:07] <Brandon_X> i dont want a link
[03:07] <Brandon_X> im in my package manager
[03:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> erpo: Live in DK, and i give a .... about the law :-D
[03:08] <Brandon_X> just tell me the name of the gnome
[03:08] <Brandon_X> that i need for the whole gnome base desktop
[03:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> erpo: Pm please
[03:08] <erpo> !dvd | Sp0tKubuntu
[03:08] <jimdb> if you aren't worried about the laws, linux has all the necessary stuff to playback any/all dvds (not blueray).
[03:08] <kaddi> Sp0tKubuntu you usually not only have to pay for the dvd you also have to pay for the program that reads the dvd
[03:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, but how, and where? .-)
[03:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> kaddi: Not in DK
[03:09] <jimdb> add medibuntu to your respository then install libdvdcss2
[03:09] <Brandon_X> does any user in here know the package name that contains the WHOLE GNOME desktop
[03:09] <kaddi> which is way Ubuntu can not ship the software by default
[03:09] <Brandon_X> anybody?
[03:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Dont understand? Im new! But i have installed that one!
[03:09] <erpo> Brandon_X: ubuntu-desktop
[03:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Medibuntu? Where do i find? :-)
[03:10] <stdin> !medibuntu
[03:11] <Sp0tKubuntu> Where to find on danish? Its a little to hard for me to understand all this new terms in eng.
[03:11] <jimdb> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[03:11] <stdin> !dk | Sp0tKubuntu
[03:12] <gartral1> hello all
[03:12] <Sp0tKubuntu> Want support for medibuntu, not ubuntu
[03:12] <Sp0tKubuntu> Same thing maybe?
[03:13] <jimdb> 100% of all windows users have the same issue with dvd playback.  what they get to overcome this is:  typically the company they purchased the computer from (dell, hp, gateway, etc) paid the dvd playback software company to provide you with a cd such as windvd.
[03:13] <JontheEchidna> well, there are probably not enough Danish speaking people to justify a medibuntu-dk channel
[03:13] <stdin> Sp0tKubuntu: medibunti is just a software repository
[03:13] <JontheEchidna> quite specific
[03:13] <JontheEchidna> that too^
[03:13] <jimdb> if you follow the instructions in the link i provided you will accomplish what you want.
[03:13] <gartral1> my fried brandon needs help, i remember there once was a way too run the components of both gnome and kde side by side, what does he need too do that?
[03:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> Then i just choose the 8.10?
[03:13] <jimdb> when you are done, install VLC.
[03:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> Its for 64 bit also?
[03:14] <jimdb> 8.10 is the version of k/ubuntu that you have?
[03:14] <Sp0tKubuntu> I have VLC, as my favorit
[03:14] <Sp0tKubuntu> Yes, but 64bit
[03:14] <Sp0tKubuntu> And Kubuntu yes
[03:14] <jimdb> and are you using programs that require more than 4 gigs of ram?
[03:14] <jimdb> if not, then you should have 32bit
[03:15] <Sp0tKubuntu> Not more, but i use much RAM
[03:16] <Sp0tKubuntu> My computer works better now than before, after i installed 64 bit insted of 32
[03:16] <stdin> Sp0tKubuntu: yes, there are packages for 64bit too
[03:16] <Sp0tKubuntu> Then the command will not work for 64bit?
[03:16] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm
[03:16] <Sp0tKubuntu> The same package?
[03:16] <stdin> it'll work on both
[03:16] <stdin> yes
[03:16] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ahh ok, thx :-)
[03:16] <Sp0tKubuntu> testing then :-)
[03:17] <Sp0tKubuntu> BRB
[03:17] <gartral1> my fried brandon needs help, i remember there once was a way too run the components of both gnome and kde side by side, what does he need too do that? sorryy for the repost
[03:17] <stdin> what do you mean "components of both" ?
[03:18] <Sp0tKubuntu> stdin: Now i got the list, what do i do then? See in my packetmanager for new packet?

[03:19] <Sp0tKubuntu> Maybe add GBG key also
[03:19] <khalidmian> any idea what that means?
[03:19] <gartral1> stdin: i mean, hes trying too run something thats better suite or gnome, but he has kubuntu instaled, what packages does he need too make it work?
[03:19] <stdin> Sp0tKubuntu: for encrypted DVD support install libdvdcss2

[03:20] <Sp0tKubuntu> stdin:  have already
[03:20] <Sp0tKubuntu> stdin: Should i also run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
[03:20] <khalidmian> firefox says i have missing plugins called video/x-msvideo  - when i pointed to the missing plugins it took me to divx page - any idea on how i can instal divx plugins in kubuntu?
[03:20] <stdin> Sp0tKubuntu: if you want apt to stop complaining, then yes
[03:21] <Sp0tKubuntu> stdin: Complaining? About what? :-)

[03:24] <Sp0tKubuntu> stdin: Should i do more than the 2 steps in the guide? Maybe get some packets+

[03:27] <gartral1> stdin: ide really wrather have the linux one running
[03:27] <gartral1> what more can i ask you for, all i need is name of the base package too get the gnome components installed
[03:28] <jimdb> sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop?
[03:28] <gartral1> without using the command line?
[03:28] <stdin> gartral1: open Adept or Synaptic and install the "ubuntu-desktop" package
[03:28] <jimdb> gksu synaptic and then find gnome-desktop.  mark it and then apply.
[03:29] <stdin> jimdb: it's "ubuntu-desktop"
[03:29] <jimdb> gksu synaptic and then find ubuntu-desktop.  mark it and then apply.
[03:29] <gartral1> from KDE? wont that overwright KDE completly?
[03:29] <stdin> no
[03:29] <jimdb> alt+f2 does the same thing (launches the run window) as win+r under windows
[03:29] <stdin> it'll install both Gnome but leave KDE
[03:30] <jimdb> you can have multiple desktops installed and they won't interfere with one another.
[03:30] <stdin> just install the ubuntu-desktop package and you can choose which to login to
[03:30] <gartral1> you relise, im not the one doing this, Brandon_X is
[03:30] <stdin> gartral1: but you're the one asking questions
[03:31] <gartral1> right, Brandon_X is completly new too linux, which is why i was wondering how too do this without a command line
[03:31] <jimdb> i believe that installing ubuntu-desktop will change the splash screens tho
[03:32] <stdin> from KDE, KMenu -> System -> Adept Manager, search for "ubuntu-desktop" and choose to install

[03:37] <harry_haha> thanks mate kaddi
[03:40] <jimdb> a commercial dvd is lagging?  or a user made dvd is lagging?  or both?  do you have the proper video drivers installed for your video card?
[03:41] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Me?
[03:41] <jimdb> yes
[03:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Its a homemade, from a original, BUT, original, same problem
[03:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> I think i have the right driver for my stuff? Dont know for a fact
[03:42] <jimdb> put a commercial dvd in and tell us if that plays back with or without lag.
[03:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> I have just told u
[03:43] <gartral1> thank you\
[03:43] <Sp0tKubuntu> it does it all time, alle DVD
[03:43] <Sp0tKubuntu> all*
[03:43] <jimdb> so it plays back commercial encrypted dvds then.
[03:43] <jimdb> what motherboard?
[03:43] <Sp0tKubuntu> When i play the same DVD on my stationary DVD, it works fine
[03:43] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm, Santa Rosa, laptop
[03:44] <jimdb> do you know which chipset?
[03:44] <Sp0tKubuntu> Its a MSI PR200
[03:44] <jimdb> ati, intel, nvidia, etc
[03:44] <PSiL0> hmmm, I've been messing around with appearance (system settings), and then switched back to defaults.  Now, whenever I'm using dolphin, a small info box pops up when hovering over any button on the toolbar.  I made I turned off the window button tooltips
[03:44] <cbwcjw2> Has anybody used RealVNC Server?
[03:44] <Sp0tKubuntu> Can go chek
[03:44] <Sp0tKubuntu> Its Intel chipset
[03:44] <PSiL0> This info box is really annoying
[03:45] <jimdb> which desktop are you running?  kde or gnome?
[03:45] <PSiL0> kde 4.2.0
[03:45] <jimdb> was asking spotkubuntu
[03:45] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: This machine: http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodtmpspec&maincat_no=135&cat2_no=270&cat3_no=&prod_no=1208#menu
[03:46] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: KDE
[03:46] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: K-buntu :-)
[03:46] <jimdb> i looked it up alerady
[03:46] <jimdb> already*
[03:46] <khalidmian> looking for divx solution for kubuntu
[03:47] <jimdb> do you also have compiz running?
[03:47] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Not sure, how do i check?
[03:48] <jimdb> run system monitor and see if it lists compiz.
[03:48] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: I dont think i have, its a part of KDE 4.2 right?
[03:48] <jimdb> not by default, no
[03:48] <jimdb> do you know how to turn off desktop effects under kde 4.2?
[03:48] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, i dont have KDE 4.2 but 4.1
[03:48] <Sp0tKubuntu> Not for sure no
[03:48] <Sp0tKubuntu> But i go chek, system settings, desktop?
[03:48] <cbwcjw2> Compiz is not part of KDE
[03:49] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok
[03:50] <Sp0tKubuntu> System settings, desktop effect, right? No compiz there at all
[03:50] <jimdb> i started with gnome then switched to kde.  i was loading compiz --replace in sessions under gnome.  that carried over to my kde 4 when i switched desktops.  so though it wouldn't be a problem for a clean install i can be a problem for those switching.
[03:51] <Sp0tKubuntu> Can it have something to do with Open GL options??
[03:51] <jimdb> under system setting then desktop under the general tab uncheck the "enable desktop effects".
[03:51] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ahhh
[03:51] <Sp0tKubuntu> That one?
[03:51] <Sp0tKubuntu> Done
[03:51] <foozlebamboozle> Uhum my GL screensavers crash the system kde 4.2
[03:52] <Sp0tKubuntu> Testing again then
[03:52] <jimdb> see if that makes a difference.  and test with commercial dvds for the time being.  if you can get them to play back without lag then you can work on the homemade ones later.
[03:53] <jimdb> yeah, lots of bugs still in kde 4.2.  switching the scaling method for wallpapers and then attempting to switch back (for me) it causes kde to crash.
[03:53] <jimdb> and my version of kde 4.2 doesn't have screensavers.  just blank.  i've been looking for a way to add them.
[03:54] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Also lagg
[03:54] <foozlebamboozle> jimdb: apt-cache search kde
[03:54] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Original Dual DVD
[03:55] <jimdb> if you enable desktop effects do they work?
[03:55] <Sp0tKubuntu> Talking to me?
[03:55] <jimdb> yes
[03:55] <Sp0tKubuntu> Trying
[03:56] <jimdb> i'm trying to determine if your video drivers are the issue, which they most likely are.  your motherboard is modern (core 2 duo), so it should handle anything thrown at it.  but if the drivers for the video suck then you'll have issues such as that.
[03:57] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: No matter what i do, LAG!
[03:57] <jimdb> you get lag with desktop effects loaded?
[03:57] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Boring! then i cant do anything? :-(
[03:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: yes, while playing original DVD
[03:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> And homemade copy
[03:58] <jimdb> i'm testing not dvd playback
[03:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> Same crap :-(
[03:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ahh
[03:58] <jimdb> i just need to know if desktop effects owrk
[03:58] <jimdb> turn on wobbly windows and tell me if the windows wobble wh en you move them.
[03:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> Seems like it? Not sure what you mean?
[03:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> 2sec
[03:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: wobble windows?
[04:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> wobbly*
[04:00] <jimdb> under system settings, under desktop, then under "all effects" you should be able to scroll the list and find the plugin called wobbly windows.
[04:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ahh
[04:00] <jimdb> check that box and click apply.
[04:00] <jimdb> then grab a window's title bar and move it around the screen.  if it wobbles as you move it then it works.
[04:01] <Sp0tKubuntu> Thay become wobbly perfectly
[04:01] <jimdb> that tells me that your 3d accelerated drivers are working.
[04:01] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: I see
[04:02] <jimdb> under the advanced tab, what does it say for compositing type.
[04:02] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Advance tab, in where?
[04:03] <jimdb> under system settings, desktop, advanced.
[04:03] <Sp0tKubuntu> Wobbly window or?
[04:03] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ah
[04:03] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm, 2sec
[04:04] <Sp0tKubuntu> Type of composite: OpenGL
[04:04] <Sp0tKubuntu> in there?
[04:04] <jimdb> yes, there
[04:04] <jimdb> and what does it say for opengl mode?
[04:04] <Sp0tKubuntu> Open GL Condition?
[04:05] <Sp0tKubuntu> texture from mipmap
[04:05] <jimdb> under 4.2 it is called "opengl mode"
[04:05] <jimdb> enable direct rendering checked?
[04:05] <Sp0tKubuntu> yes
[04:05] <Sp0tKubuntu> No
[04:05] <Sp0tKubuntu> Should it be?
[04:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> X Server restarts if i change
[04:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> Put direct rendering on?
[04:06] <jimdb> i have it on,turn it on.
[04:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> VSync?
[04:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> ON/OFF?
[04:07] <jimdb> did you test this with "enable desktop effects" unchecked?
[04:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> Test what? The moving windows, or DVD playback?
[04:07] <jimdb> i have vsync on
[04:07] <qcjn> what is katapult, is it like alt + F2 or avant window manager
[04:07] <jimdb> dvd playback with desktop effects unchecked.
[04:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> Yeah, lagging
[04:08] <jimdb> what program are you using to playback your dvd?
[04:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> VLC
[04:08] <jimdb> how does it play back an avi file?
[04:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> Have tryed others, same problem
[04:08] <jimdb> such as a divx movie?
[04:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> Havent got any avi, but mov, same crap :-(
[04:09] <jimdb> is the .mov file a clip or a full movie?
[04:09] <jimdb> and .mov are old apple quicktime.
[04:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> Its a movie, of pictures, 30 fps
[04:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> I know, its a windows made movie, homemade
[04:09] <jimdb> stored on a HDD or dvd?
[04:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> Homerecordings
[04:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> Same thing
[04:10] <Sp0tKubuntu> No matter where i play from, lag
[04:10] <jimdb> i'm trying to find a file such as a divx movie that is stored on some other media than a dvd to test playback to see if it lags.
[04:10] <olskolirc> hey guys how come I can't edit my menu?  and what is the command to update my menus?
[04:10] <Sp0tKubuntu> No matter what i play
[04:10] <jimdb> even from a file on your hdd?
[04:11] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: yes, i made a backup of DVD, and played it, lags
[04:11] <Sp0tKubuntu> 5400 rpm harddrive
[04:12] <Sp0tKubuntu> In Vista, on same machine, 2Gb less, play DVD PERFECTLY!
[04:12] <jimdb> my thoughts are this.  boot from a kde live cd and try to play back some media such as a file and tell me if it plays.
[04:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Ok, i try that then, be back ASAP
[04:13] <jimdb> no doubt your's is a weird issue.  i've never seen it before.  i've set up linux on 20+ computers and never had that issue.
[04:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> Roger?
[04:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> Strange, i have seen some ppl having same problems, but not solutions
[04:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> But BRB
[04:14] <cbwcjw> Is there any eay way to make it so Kopete only shows online contacts?
[04:16] <stdin> cbwcjw: (un)click the "Show All" button
[04:16] <cbwcjw> stdin: You are awesome. Thanks
[04:28] <etfb> Firefox keeps shutting down - when I run it from the console, it just says "Aborted".  How do I debug that?  (Preferably without using gdb; I'm looking for higher level diagnostics.)
[04:29] <DaSkreech> etfb: run it in safe mode
[04:29] <ubuntu_> jimdb: Still here? Its me, Sp0tKubuntu, it dosent work on the live CD eighter
[04:30] <etfb> DaSkreech: Tried that; it still happens.  You attempt to open a page in a new tab and WHAM.
[04:30] <DaSkreech> What's the sequence that makes it collapse ?
[04:30] <etfb> DaSkreech: At this stage I suspect something fundamental to Qt in KDE4.2
[04:31] <etfb> DaSkreech: Follow a link, Ctrl+clicking to make it open in a new tab.  It starts loading but before it renders it shuts down Firefox completely.
[04:31] <DaSkreech> Not sure how since Firefox doesn't care about KDE 4.2
[04:31] <DaSkreech> What happens if you middle click ?
[04:31] <etfb> DaSkreech: No, but it still uses windows and UI controls, and if it's doing something mildly suspicious, it could cause problems.
[04:32] <ubuntu_> jimdb: Did you leave?
[04:32] <jimdb> ubuntu_ you haven't logged back into your install yet?
[04:32] <ubuntu_> jimdb: No
[04:32] <DaSkreech> Yeah but it's Firefox that's aborting
[04:32] <ubuntu_> jimdb: Im on the live session user pt
[04:33] <jimdb> do so, then look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if anywhere in there there's a line that says DRI = false (or something like that)...or have you already looked?
[04:33] <etfb> DaSkreech: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  Opening a bunch of tabs at onces crashes too, so it's not the kind of clicking that's doing it.
[04:33] <ubuntu_> jimdb: Go back to my install, from the live session?
[04:34] <DaSkreech> etfb: Just trying to figure out if it's the tabs that's making it crash
[04:34] <jimdb> yes.  i am just looking at web pages related to your problem.  so, you may have tied some of this already.
[04:35] <etfb> Ah, frak it.  I'll purge and reinstall.  I've got all my bookmarks in FoxMarks, so it won't lose anything much.
[04:35] <etfb> Will apt-get remove --purge foo get rid of all associated .foo config files, or do I need to do that manually?
[04:35] <ubuntu_> jimdb: Ill be back soon then
[04:36] <DaSkreech> etfb: Purging won't make you lose your bookmarks or plugins
[04:36] <etfb> DaSkreech: Hmmm... I'll try opening in a new window (laptop mousepad doesn't have middle click, so I didn't know that's what it did)
[04:36] <DaSkreech> You can just close firefox and then mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozillatest
[04:37] <DaSkreech> Then restart firefox
[04:37] <DaSkreech> Though i'm guessing the issue may be you don't have the gtk-qt engine installed
[04:38] <etfb> DaSkreech: It worked before about midday yesterday.
[04:39] <etfb> DaSkreech: You were right, tho - gtk-qt-engine-kde4 wasn't installed.
[04:40] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Back
[04:40] <jimdb> http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=12227
[04:41] <etfb> DaSkreech: gtk-qt-engine was though (or at least it is after I installed g-q-e-kde4, but I didn't check before doing that)... and it's still happening, so that's not the immediate cause
[04:41] <jimdb> at the bottom is a line by someone essentially describing your problem.
[04:41] <jimdb> http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check
[04:41] <jimdb> i used compiz-check to resolve some issues but it was a while ago.  frankly I have no idea where they are on that older bug
[04:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: i lost you, sorry?
[04:42] <jimdb> your problem is that you can't play back video.
[04:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Im in the file you told me to
[04:42] <jimdb> it has nothing to do with your dvd player, codec, etc
[04:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: ? No?
[04:43] <jimdb> just search that file for DRI and see if it says that it has been disable in some way
[04:43] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Cant see it anywhere?
[04:43] <jimdb> it will say something like DRI = off, DRI=false, etc
[04:44] <Sp0tKubuntu> Search for DRI, nothing
[04:44] <jimdb> near the top of the file does it say  load "DRI" anywhere?
[04:44] <Sp0tKubuntu> Just i sec, ill paste it
[04:44] <jimdb> don't paste in here

[04:45] <jimdb> http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=12227
[04:46] <jimdb> read that web page near the bottom
[04:46] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok
[04:47] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Not sure were to read?
[04:47] <jimdb> is your ubuntu install a wubi install or a wipe of vista and fresh install?
[04:48] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Do i understand it correct if its not to fix?
[04:48] <jimdb> it says:  Our card (x3100 on intel 965 chipset) is blacklisted cause with compiz enabled they couldnt enable hardware video acceleration which resulted in poor or even no video playback. But I was able to use compiz normally on ubuntu (apart from being unable to watch movies).
[04:48] <jimdb> that's the part of the page i was pointing out.
[04:48] <Sp0tKubuntu> My Kubuntu install, is new, deleted all things, and started all over
[04:48] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ahh sorry
[04:49] <jimdb> they say there was a bug that caused that issue, but it was supposed to be resolved in an earlier release of ubuntu (kubuntu as well).  but sometimes those problems crop back up.
[04:49] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: all in all, no DVD playback before its fixed in next release in like 6 month? :-(
[04:50] <Sp0tKubuntu> IF its fixed at all :-(
[04:50] <jimdb> what is your commitment to kubuntu so far?  everything moved over or are you just beginning?
[04:50] <Sp0tKubuntu> I have only linux on this machine if thats what you mean?
[04:51] <Sp0tKubuntu> I like it alot, and want to use it for all things, also playing DVD's :-)
[04:51] <DaSkreech> !dvd
[04:51] <jimdb> i asked that question because if you just started then you won't mind wiping and starting over.
[04:51] <jimdb> start over with 32bit ubuntu and see if your video plays back.  try with an older version such as hardy rather than intripid.
[04:52] <jimdb> that'll give you an older kernel
[04:52] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: If i do that, should i delete home as well? .-(
[04:52] <jimdb> it will also use compiz instead of KDE's compisiting manager.
[04:52] <Sp0tKubuntu> NOOO!
[04:52] <jimdb> as a test, not as a solution.
[04:52] <Sp0tKubuntu> NEVER! I have tryed Ubuntu, and specially 8.04, DOSENT work at all
[04:53] <Sp0tKubuntu> REALLY sux at this machine
[04:53] <jimdb> i'm not saying use it.  i'm saying try to find out, using the older version, if video playback works or not.
[04:53] <Sp0tKubuntu> Trust me, i gave it over one month, and then VISTA :-D
[04:54] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ahh.. To much work for me i think, i got my desk and things set up as i like, dont like to start ALL over
[04:54] <jimdb> if you won't go that far back then wipe and start with 32bit kubuntu.  add nothing new and play back a media file.
[04:54] <Sp0tKubuntu> ./ i dont care about,but my /home .-/
[04:55] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: If i do that, it restores my /home, and settings.
[04:55] <Sp0tKubuntu> Then i have to KILL home to
[04:55] <Sp0tKubuntu> :-(
[04:55] <jimdb> i read a few pages about similar problems and they seem to indicate the chipset.  i don't have a computer based on that chipset in order to test with.
[04:55] <Sp0tKubuntu> Thats also ok, but it sux for me1:-/
[04:56] <jimdb> i have about 10-15 laptops around here but none with that configuration.
[04:56] <Sp0tKubuntu> I will not help that i just clear /?
[04:56] <Sp0tKubuntu> re-mount home
[04:57] <jimdb> there are guides that show you how to move your home to a seperate partition.
[04:57] <jimdb> they apply to kubuntu and ubuntu alike
[04:57] <jimdb> www.ubuntu-unleashed.com has a guide
[04:57] <Sp0tKubuntu> I have home at its own
[04:57] <Sp0tKubuntu> I have 3 partitions, /, /home, /swap
[04:58] <jimdb> if you already have it done then yeah, clear your / and try again.  but don't zap the partition with your home
[04:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> One harddrive
[04:58] <Sp0tKubuntu> Dont zap home? zap=format?
[04:58] <jimdb> zap=format/erase/delete, etc
[04:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok :-)
[04:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> I format only /
[04:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> Not even swap, that is not an issue i guess?
[04:59] <jimdb> i would just test with a clean install wthout adding anything.  i know ubuntu better than kubuntu and i know it uses compiz.
[04:59] <Sp0tKubuntu> Maybe "zap" that to?
[05:00] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ahh, u want me to install clean Ubuntu, and not Kubuntu, but dont mount my /home then, just leave it to i install Kubuntu again? Or?
[05:00] <jimdb> don't do anything y ou aren't comfortable with.  i am not trying to encourage you to go 32 bit.  i'm just saying that in order to figure this out  you will have to try different things.
[05:01] <jimdb> a 32bit install that's clean then try playback.
[05:01] <Sp0tKubuntu> I have 32 bit in today, change to 64 bit today :-)
[05:01] <jimdb> and ensure that a compositing manager isn't neabled.
[05:01] <Sp0tKubuntu> Same problem before
[05:01] <jimdb> enabled*
[05:02] <Sp0tKubuntu> But, where do i see if its enabled? I had compiz, but that was BEFORE i reformatted ALL of the disk
[05:02] <jimdb> compiz isn't enabled by default in kubuntu
[05:02] <jimdb> kubuntu uses it's own compositing manager.
[05:02] <DaSkreech> !compiz
[05:03] <jimdb> you don't want nor need both.
[05:03] <DaSkreech> You may want both
[05:03] <Sp0tKubuntu> But i got it, an enabled it, but guess its not there anymore then, i reformatted the hole disc and reinstalled
[05:03] <DaSkreech> Certainly don't need both
[05:03] <jimdb> you need neither to have kubuntu work.
[05:04] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Maybe theres the problems is, in kubuntus "compiz"
[05:04] <jimdb> to test, you should ensure neither are working.
[05:04] <jimdb> it says:  Our card (x3100 on intel 965 chipset) is blacklisted cause with compiz enabled they couldnt enable hardware video acceleration which resulted in poor or even no video playback. But I was able to use compiz normally on ubuntu (apart from being unable to watch movies).
[05:04] <Sp0tKubuntu> It is gone, i cant find it anuwhere
[05:04] <Sp0tKubuntu> anywhere*
[05:05] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm
[05:05] <DaSkreech> There is no "kubuntu's" compiz
[05:05] <jimdb> what that line says is that they knew of a problem with the 965 chipset where compiz type application was enabled and video wouldn't play back.  if you can find a way to get kubuntu working without a compositiong manager then try
[05:05] <Sp0tKubuntu> Iknow, used ubuntus
[05:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> Hmm, is that possible at all?
[05:06] <jimdb> disable desktop effects and ensure compiz isn't loading and reboot, then try again.  that's about all i can suggest wtihout actually having the computer in front of me to work through the issues.
[05:06] <etfb> DaSkreech: I just renamed .mozilla, and FF is still randomly shutting down.  About to try purge-and-reinstall
[05:06] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Did u see my past before?
[05:07] <jimdb> i looked at your pastebin page
[05:07] <jimdb> it held no information.
[05:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> jimdb: Ok, thanks ALOT for all of your help :-)
[05:07] <jimdb> it was of no use
[05:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> I se
[05:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> see*
[05:07] <jimdb> the key here spotkubuntu, is to ensure that you have NO compositing manager in use.
[05:07] <Sp0tKubuntu> But it was the right stuff i pasted?
[05:07] <jimdb> then try playback.
[05:08] <jimdb> what you posted was fine
[05:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, ill try to see if i can find out of it :-) Thanks again
[05:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> ok :-)
[05:08] <jimdb> it just wasn't of use.  everything auto-configured, etc.
[05:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> Yeah, thought sp
[05:08] <Sp0tKubuntu> so*
[05:09] <jimdb> but your problem has nothign to do with dvd playback.
[05:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> But thanks anyways :-) Hope i can come back with the solution to help others
[05:09] <jimdb> this is evidenced because you can't play back an movie file from your hard drive.
[05:09] <Sp0tKubuntu> Chipset related
[05:10] <jimdb> an older version of ubuntu/kubuntu won't have that stuff all auto-configured i'd bet.
[05:10] <Sp0tKubuntu> Maybe Kubuntu 8.04 then
[05:10] <jimdb> it'd have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that actually has something you could read.
[05:10] <Sp0tKubuntu> Wont go Ubuntu :-D
[05:10] <jimdb> i didn't suggest going back to stay there.
[05:11] <jimdb> i suggested going back because it had an older kernel
[05:11] <jimdb> and just as a test.
[05:11] <Sp0tKubuntu> I know :-) But if that works, thats fine :-)
[05:11] <jimdb> if it worked under the older verison then the problem is with the newer version of kubuntu.
[05:11] <Sp0tKubuntu> Then i try 8.04, but should it be 32 bit or 64 bit? Want to use my RAM fully
[05:12] <Sp0tKubuntu> Yes
[05:12] <jimdb> i've only seen a similar problem to this on a very small motherboard used generally in car computers.  video playback just wouldn't work.
[05:12] <jimdb> you are testing, so how much ram you have isn't at issue.
[05:12] <Sp0tKubuntu> Should not be a problem playing in 1280x800? (Screens resolution)
[05:12] <jimdb> and how much ram is set aside for your video on that laptop?
[05:12] <Sp0tKubuntu> Thats right
[05:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> But i think, if it works, then i have to reinstall again if i install 32 bit, and want 64
[05:13] <jimdb> if it works under 32 bit via the older verison then install with 64bit with the older version.
[05:13] <jimdb> and test again.
[05:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> But what the heck
[05:13] <Sp0tKubuntu> :-)
[05:14] <Sp0tKubuntu> Why not start with the older 64 bit version?
[05:14] <Sp0tKubuntu> Then i save one reinstall
[05:14] <jimdb> be systemmatic.
[05:15] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, first the old 32 bit, and then the old 64 bit, and then the new 32 bit, and then the new 64 bit? :D
[05:17] <etfb> Anyone using KVPNC?  It doesn't appear to know how to disconnect any more.  I have to use xkill to make it disconnect.
[05:19] <etfb> What's the "correct" way in Kubuntu to connect to a VPN (Virtual Private Network)?  I get the feeling that KVpnc is abandonware, or at least isn't maintained by anyone who cares about integration and presentation.  Is there something better now?
[05:27] <jepong> hello... im having problem with kubuntu login screen... its not maximize on my msi wind
[05:27] <DaSkreech> What resolution is it running at?
[05:28] <jepong> msi wind supposedly 1024x600
[05:28] <jepong> but the login screen seems smaller than that
[05:29] <jepong> im just new in kde after being using gnome for a year
[05:30] <jepong> left and right of the login screen show part of the default wallpaper
[05:30] <DaSkreech> Does the screen after login fit correctly?
[05:30] <jepong> yes
[05:30] <jepong> no problem with the desktop
[05:31] <DaSkreech> Hmm
[05:31] <DaSkreech> How much of the screen is shown on either side ?
[05:32] <jepong> hmmm... let say half of an inch?
[05:33] <DaSkreech> Hmm :-/
[05:34] <DaSkreech> I'm not even sure how to address that I dont know where in the stack that would fall
[05:35] <jepong> i have no idea either... hehehehe
[05:35] <jepong> anyway... what matters is i love kde 4.2
[05:36] <jepong> what should i so this can be addresssed on jaunty?
[05:37] <DaSkreech> jepong: file a bug on launchpad
[05:39] <jepong> ok... thanks
[05:42] <jepong> what the link for the launchpad? same as ubuntus?
[05:43] <DaSkreech> !bug
[05:43] <DaSkreech> Yep
[05:44] <jepong> thank you... i thought there was diffrent site for that. thanks again
[05:45] <DaSkreech> Sure
[06:56] <jepong> is there an easiest way to mount my ipod nano to amaroK? thanks

[07:21] <Sp0tKubuntu> When installing Kubuntu, if i choose a / and a /swap, and a /home, will settings be stored in user, if i make a /usr?
[07:23] <DaSkreech> User settings will be in /home/username system wide settings will be in /etc
[07:24] <Sp0tKubuntu> DaSkreech: Ok :-)
[07:24] <DaSkreech>  /etc must be on the same partition as /
[07:25]  * stdin teaches DaSkreech about '//' in IRC
[07:25] <stdin> /etc
[07:26] <DaSkreech> Does it really annoy you that much?
[07:26] <Sp0tKubuntu> Now i have my /home for storage, but i dont like there is alot of backup files laying around in there, what should i name my store so its not a part of the system were settings are stored?
[07:26] <stdin> DaSkreech: no, not at all
[07:26] <DaSkreech> Your "store" ?
[07:27] <Sp0tKubuntu> Yes, for my own files, dont want system files in there
[07:27] <DaSkreech> Your own files are in /home/username
[07:28] <Sp0tKubuntu> I have /home on 80gb ca as it is now, and i want to make /home smaller, only for settings gettings stored, and then i want to make another for my own stuff, dls and so on
[07:28] <Sp0tKubuntu> No, there are hidden files in there
[07:28] <Sp0tKubuntu> Not only MY files, files i made
[07:28] <Sp0tKubuntu> Understand where im going?
[07:29] <Sp0tKubuntu> Want to use /home for storing settings only, from users, and then another partition for storage
[07:29] <Sp0tKubuntu> Storage for pictures, mp3, DVD, etc
[07:30] <Sp0tKubuntu> Just another filesystem than ext3? Or is that not the solution
[07:31] <DaSkreech> Sp0tKubuntu: those hidden files keep your settings You can remove them but then you have to reconfigure every application every single time you open it
[07:32] <Sp0tKubuntu> I think you misunderstand me
[07:32] <DaSkreech> If you want to share something like Muic amongst everyone that's what /usr/share is for
[07:33] <DaSkreech> You want to have a like a 500 meg ~ for settings and all your stuff elsewhere ?
[07:33] <Sp0tKubuntu> I want 4 partitions insted of 3 only, a root, a home, a swap, and then one to my stuff, but wat to call that so its not a part of the system?
[07:33] <DaSkreech> /mnt/something works
[07:33] <Sp0tKubuntu> Not sharing
[07:33] <DaSkreech> then make it so that only you can access it and it mounts with rights for you
[07:33] <Sp0tKubuntu> That will say, i just choose /mnt? Can i rename it later then?
[07:33] <DaSkreech> then do a lot of messing around in ~ and /usr
[07:34] <Sp0tKubuntu> So its not called /mnt?
[07:34] <DaSkreech> /mnt is where you mount file systems that you expect to be there the entire time the computer is on
[07:34] <DaSkreech> so you would create sub directories and mount the filesystems under there
[07:34] <p_quarles> Sp0tKubuntu: you can mount it wherever you like, really, as long as its not interfering with something else; /mnt is just specifically for that purpose
[07:35] <Sp0tKubuntu> Ok, but i have to be mounted in something under root?
[07:36] <yao_ziyuan> would like to know you guys' strategy on handling gtk+/gnome/mozilla apps in kde4. do you use gtk-qt-engine to make them look like kde (but firefox tabs would look ugly), or use a cross-DE style like QtCurve or BlueCurve, or use a separate gtk style from your current kde theme, and which gtk style is that?
[07:36] <Sp0tKubuntu> because /mnt is in /root
[07:36] <DaSkreech> Yeah but he's going to have to make sure that permissions and masks are set properly then change all the default paths for $HOME for data there while making sure that the paths for $HOME for settings stay at /home/username
[07:37] <DaSkreech> Which may be possible but that is a lot of headache
[07:37] <p_quarles> Sp0tKubuntu: I don't see how you could mount it in a directory outside of /
[07:37] <yao_ziyuan> yet another possibility is to use gtk-qt-engine and a custom firefox theme that draws a custom firefox tab appearance
[07:37] <Sp0tKubuntu> No, i see, my bad
[07:37] <DaSkreech> Either that or just add the created mount to the sidebar in KDE and click on it everytime you need to save something
[07:37] <Sp0tKubuntu> I must make a / first, then /swap, and so /home, and then a /mnt
[07:38] <DaSkreech> no you make a 4th partition then make a /mnt/something
[07:39] <DaSkreech> for eg. /mnt/data
[07:39] <Sp0tKubuntu> Yeah, so i have 4 partitions
[07:40] <DaSkreech> Right
[07:40] <DaSkreech> then a headache
[07:40] <Sp0tKubuntu> ./, /swap, /home /mnt/spot
[07:40] <Sp0tKubuntu> :-D
[07:40] <DaSkreech> Right
[07:40] <Sp0tKubuntu> Just trying to get around with DVD Playback, chipset bug :-/

[07:55] <ct529> hi everybody .... I have some serious difficulties with skim/scim on 810 .... anyone who can help?
[07:55] <ct529> !skim
[07:55] <stdin> !scim
[07:55] <ct529> !scim
[07:56] <ct529> stdin: no I have read the wiki, does not solve the problem
[07:57] <stdin> maybe #scim can help
[07:58] <ct529> I think it is "Kubuntu last version" related because it worked well on previous versions ....
[07:59] <syockit> ct529: got scim daemon running?
[08:00] <ct529> syockit: yep ....
[08:00] <syockit> what's your "im-switch -c" set to?
[08:01] <ct529> syockit: works well in externally installed applications .... for example, I use eclipse last version, installed manually. There scim/skim works fine. It does NOT work in the desktop applications .... kmail, kate, opeoffice .... :(
[08:01] <ct529> syockit: im-switch -z all_ALL -s scim-bridge
[08:01] <syockit> for some reason I too find that scim-bridge doesn't work on those apps
[08:02] <ct529> syockit: shall I choose skim? what do you use? I followed the wiki, sorry.
[08:02] <syockit> If I uninstall bridge, then kate/openoffice runs fine, so does opera, but no more on eclipse/firefox
[08:02] <syockit> Even if you choose skim, it will select scim-bridge if detects one
[08:03] <syockit> skim goes by the order of: scim-bridge > scim > none(xim)
[08:03] <syockit> So I ended up installing uim
[08:04] <ct529> syockit: does uim work well?
[08:04] <syockit> 今のところ、そうですね
[08:04] <syockit> well, it works it seems
[08:04] <ct529> syockit: :)
[08:04] <ct529> wait
[08:05] <syockit> oh, it doesn't work on firefox :((
[08:06] <syockit> Maybe because I haven't installed uim-gtk2.0
[08:07] <ct529> syockit: nothing .... how do you install / configure uim?
[08:08] <syockit> I just sudo aptitude install uim uim-qt uim-applet-kde
[08:08] <syockit> RIght now I'm trying to make it work correctly
[08:09] <ct529> syockit: :) but it looked like working!
[08:09] <ct529> syockit: wait .... restarting X again
[08:12] <ct529> syockit: nothing .... that is bad ....
[08:12] <ct529> syockit: I thought your uim was working fine ....
[08:12] <syockit> Okay, I've tested on almost everything
[08:12] <ct529> syockit: what is missing?
[08:12] <syockit> after installing uim-gtk2.0,
[08:13] <syockit> works in the following: kate, opera, firefox, eclipse (ganymede), yakuake, plasma
[08:13] <syockit> Yay! One solution for all!! Install your own copy of uim now
[08:13] <ct529> syockit: does not work in ....
[08:14] <ct529> syockit: does it work fine in everything including kmail?
[08:14] <ct529> syockit: and skype?
[08:14] <syockit> sorry, I don't have kmail. nor skype
[08:14] <syockit> Ah, I remember skype having some glitches with input methods... but seeing it works on opera, I suppose it will work on skype
[08:15] <ct529> syockit: did you uninstall scim before installing uim?
[08:15] <syockit> Ah, forgot to mention that after installing, you have to run uim-pref-qt, do some settings, then im-switch -c
[08:15] <ct529> syockit: thanks
[08:15] <syockit> and select uim-toolbar-qt. yes, I uninstalled scim
[08:16] <syockit> Oh, by the way, if you don't like floating toolbar, you can always use uim-systray
[08:16] <syockit> gtk isn't that scary, you know
[08:17] <ct529> syockit: it does not let me install uim-qt
[08:17] <syockit> That's strange?
[08:18] <ct529> uim-applet-kde:
[08:18] <ct529>  Depends: uim-qt but it is not going to be installed
[08:18] <ct529> why?
[08:18] <syockit> I'm starting to suspect uim-qt build on intrepid failed
[08:18] <ct529> syockit: what do you mean?
[08:20] <syockit> I think uim-qt doesn't exist on intrepid at this point. Try sudo aptitude install uim-qt
[08:21] <ct529> syockit: ther eis something weird going on here
[08:23] <syockit> ct529: I suggest you get jaunty's uim instead. That intrepid version still has a critical kde4 bug
[08:24] <ct529> syockit: how do you do that?
[08:25] <ct529> syockit: are you using jaunty's uim?
[08:25] <ct529> syockit: restartig X
[08:25] <syockit> I'm on jaunty
[08:30] <polishpaul> Hey guys, Can someone give me a hand with laptop? I just put on Kubuntu and i don't see any network settings interface (wired or wireless)? I added dhcp manually to /interfaces but it didn't work

[08:42] <jstanley> in kde 4 it is called system settings
[08:43] <jstanley> good luck with wireless though
[08:43] <jstanley> i wish i had more luck with it
[08:49] <jstanley> Does anyone know how to use mknod?
[08:49] <jstanley> And/or does anyone know how to find out the major and minor numbers of a hard disk?
[08:50] <jstanley> I have a second hard disk and I'd like to use it, but Kubuntu hasn't made a device file for it
[08:51] <ct529> syockit: nothing ....
[08:51] <jstanley> actually, kubuntu hasn't made a device file for my first hard disk either
[08:51] <syockit> ct529: about installing from jaunty: you have to add the repo in your sources.list
[08:52] <syockit> ct529: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install uim uim-qt uim-qt3
[08:52] <syockit> ct529: then remove/comment out the jaunty repo in sources.list and do sudo apt-get upgrade again
[08:54] <jstanley> alright i've found my device files. kubuntu seems to think i'm using scsi disks
[08:57] <polishpaul> jstanley, yeah... i finally got the wired working, but i see no options for wireless?
[08:57] <aldo> HOLA
[08:58] <aldo> hi
[08:58] <jstanley> polishpaul: do you have a little globe in the try?
[08:58] <jstanley> hi aldo
[08:58] <jstanley> polishpaul: i meant 'tray'
[08:58] <jstanley> if so, try right-clicking it and see if there are options for wireless
[08:58] <jstanley> polishpaul: what wireless card do you have?
[08:59] <jstanley> if it's broadcom then count yourself lucky that you can get wired
[08:59] <aldo> excusem i have one question
[08:59] <jstanley> yes?
[09:00] <aldo> do you know how i can make a network between two kubuntu
[09:00] <jstanley> aldo: do you have a crossover cable?
[09:00] <aldo> cpu-laptop
[09:00] <polishpaul> its an intel i believe - i had it working wtih ubuntu and the like... found the globe .. checking...
[09:00] <aldo> ethernet
[09:01] <jstanley> aldo: if both computers have ethernet ports, then you should be able to stick a crossover cable between the two and be ready to go
[09:01] <aldo> i just wanna share my date folder
[09:01] <jstanley> i've never used a crossover cable, so i can't say how easy it'll be
[09:01] <jstanley> aldo: are they already on a lan?
[09:02] <aldo> yes i have the computer and the lap top connected by the ethernet cable
[09:02] <ct529> syockit: thanks!
[09:02] <jstanley> aldo: are they connected directly to one another?
[09:03] <aldo> exactly
[09:03] <jstanley> if so, you need a crossover cable. a normal ethernet cable won't work because
[09:03] <polishpaul> dang, can't see my own wireless network :# argh
[09:05] <aldo> ok so i have to change the composition of the cable?
[09:05] <aldo> do you know it?
[09:07] <jstanley> aldo: i don't know how to do it
[09:07] <jstanley> google can probably point you in the right direction
[09:07] <jstanley> but it's easier to buy a ready-made crossover cable
[09:08] <aldo> jstanley: here in mexico is chepear to build it whit an older cable
[09:08] <aldo> thanks very much
[09:08] <jstanley> no problem
[09:09] <aldo> is more difficult but cheaper
[09:09] <jstanley> aldo: i know the theory of converting the cable; you need to swap the send and receive wires of one end of the cable
[09:09] <jstanley> i don't know exactly which wires it is though
[09:10] <jstanley> you just need to make it so that the send line of one machine ends up at the receive line of the other
[09:10] <aldo> i have already found it, thank you very much
[09:10] <aldo> !!
[09:10] <aldo> :jstanley
[09:11] <jstanley> no problem
[09:12] <aldo> excuseme are you helping people all time?
[09:13] <aldo> jstanley
[09:13] <jstanley> no
[09:13] <jstanley> i'm not a regular
[09:13] <aldo> ah ok
[09:13] <jstanley> i only came here to get help with my graphicd
[09:13] <polishpaul> ok.. got the knetwork manager going.. found my w-lan, still nothing... no dhcp offers...
[09:13] <polishpaul> gear icon spinning...
[09:14] <polishpaul> bah! it works..
[09:14] <polishpaul> i guess it just took forever...
[09:14] <jstanley> cool
[09:15] <polishpaul> i feel kinda lost with KDE.. but i think i'm liking what i see...
[09:16] <aldo_> hola
[09:16] <jstanley> hi
[09:17] <aldo_> I want to connect mi lap to my desktop computer by ethernet
[09:17] <aldo> i have the same problem
[09:17] <aldo> jstanley can help you
[09:17] <aldo_> mm
[09:17] <jstanley> what
[09:18] <aldo_> jstanley?
[09:18] <jstanley> ok, just checking that you actually were the same person :P
[09:18] <aldo_> jaja i just kidding
[09:18] <aldo_> sorry
[09:23] <noaXess> hi all
[09:23] <polishpaul> o/
[09:23] <aldo> hi
[09:23] <aldo> hola
[09:23] <aldo> hallo
[09:24] <noaXess> i have a prolem with my firefox 3.0.5, if i upload a pdf file on any webpage, i get a mimetype application/unknown... with konquerror or opera i get application/pdf, have also started ff in safe-mode, no change
[09:24] <noaXess> any idea.. help?
[09:25] <aldo> give right click and then save as
[09:25] <aldo> and you select the folder noaXess
[09:25] <noaXess> aldo: if i upload, not download
[09:26] <noaXess> also if i upload it in my webmail client.. i get (application/unknown
[09:26] <jstanley> noaXess: the server shouldn't be trusting your browsers mime-type anyway...
[09:27] <aldo> noaXess:you most format your computer
[09:27] <aldo> im kidding
[09:27] <noaXess> but, if i do the exact same with konquerror or opera in my kunbuntu, it works fine
[09:27] <noaXess> kubuntu ^
[09:27] <jstanley> there's probably a mime-type file for firefox
[09:27] <jstanley> i don't know where it is though
[09:27] <jstanley> i don't use firefox
[09:28] <jstanley> noaXess: try #firefox
[09:28] <aldo> stanley for real is better konkeror than firefox?
[09:28] <jstanley> in my opinion? yes
[09:28] <aldo> firefox is fastly
[09:29] <aldo> isn't it?
[09:29] <polishpaul> in ADEPT, is there a way to show only installed / not-installed packages?
[09:29] <jstanley> aldo: in my experience firefox is too slow to be usable
[09:29] <noaXess> jstanley: thanks
[09:29] <jstanley> polishpaul: dpkg -l in a terminal will show installed packages
[09:29] <jstanley> noaXess: no problem
[09:30] <polishpaul> but no gui filter?
[09:30] <jstanley> i don't use adept
[09:30] <jstanley> there might be a filter in it
[09:30] <jstanley> kpackage has a filter thing
[09:30] <jstanley> but kpackage is too slow for my liking
[09:30] <aldo> stanley: so what do i most do for getting the konker faster?
[09:31] <jstanley> aldo: if konqueror is slower than firefox then i don't know what's gone wrong
[09:31] <jstanley> if konqueror is slower than firefox then just go with firefox
[09:31] <jstanley> firefox has more features and is better-supported
[09:31] <jstanley> it's a 'better' browser, it's just too slow to be usable for me
[09:32] <aldo> ah ok, i get it, so it depends of the usage of each one
[09:33] <aldo> thanks
[09:33] <jstanley> can anyone remind me how to make an ext3 filesystem?
[09:34] <jstanley> it's something like mke2fs -j, but i can't remember
[09:34] <daedalus_> Hi
[09:34] <jstanley> hi
[09:34] <jstanley> you know how to make an ext3 file system daedalus_?
[09:35] <daedalus_> Where may i find useful motherboard compatibility info ? Gygabyte ssays nothins, nor do the Ubuntu forums
[09:35] <aldo> i know how to do it, but i dont remmeber exactly
[09:35] <jstanley> daedalus_: i think there's an ubuntu hcl
[09:35] <jstanley> maybe try that
[09:35] <daedalus_> hcl ?
[09:35] <jstanley> hardware compatibility list
[09:35] <daedalus_> ok, on the main site thus
[09:35] <jstanley> yeah probably
[09:35] <jstanley> i'd use google though
[09:36] <jstanley> i don't have a web browser atm, so i can't find it for you
[09:36] <daedalus_> already done, it's like gygabyte didn'teven exist
[09:37] <daedalus_> And what do you want to do about ext file system ? You are not wanting to make a new partition with gparted ?
[09:38] <jstanley> i don't trust gui tools with this sort of thing
[09:38] <syockit> mkfs.ext3 should be good enough for default settings
[09:38] <jstanley> and i looked at the man page
[09:38] <jstanley> i was right about -j
[09:38] <jstanley>  hope
[09:38] <jstanley> syockit: does that exist?
[09:38] <jstanley> haha
[09:38] <jstanley> so it does
[09:39] <yaa_> hope so
[09:40] <jstanley> i always thought you had to use mke2fs with some option
[09:40] <jstanley> but i could never remember the option
[09:40] <integer>  Hello all, i have 8.10, while setting screen resolution that went wrong and now, each applications window i run are opening maximised by default and they dont have close, minimize buttons, i tried to reset the resolution but its not happening as original, can any one help me please??
[09:41] <aldo> well see you later guys thank you stanley bye
[09:42] <jstanley> integer: do the windows have title bars?
[09:42] <integer> yes
[09:43] <polishpaul> what's the name of the app that has a small bar on the bottom of your screen with icons ... they enlarge as you mouse over...
[09:43] <integer> but all application window open maximised, without close/minimize buttons on corner
[09:43] <jstanley> polishpaul: avant-window-navigator?
[09:44] <jstanley> integer: are you sure they don't have buttons?
[09:44] <jstanley> it might just be that the picture stretches over the edges of the screen
[09:44] <jstanley> and so they appear to be buttonless
[09:45] <integer> yess that may be the case i think
[09:45] <integer> becase the panel icons also dispersed here
[09:46] <jstanley> integer: your screen probably has buttons for adjusting the vertical/horizontal size
[09:47] <integer> yaa it has
[09:48] <polishpaul_> hi
[09:48] <polishpaul> hi
[09:48] <polishpaul> :)
[09:49] <polishpaul> ok.. no to get my proprietary nvidia drivers to work...
[09:49] <polishpaul> *now
[09:49] <integer> jstanley: but with thats its not possible
[09:50] <polishpaul> umm.. so i log out and.. x dies? should i be able to log in agian?
[09:51] <polishpaul> i[m probably just being impatient
[09:55] <jstanley> polishpaul: proprietary drivers?
[09:55] <jstanley> i had that problem too
[09:55] <jstanley> never fixed it
[09:57] <daedalus_> Well, i found an official ubuntu HCl but with few (empty) entries with outdated chipsets
[09:57] <daedalus_> funny
[09:59] <daedalus_> http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/
[09:59] <daedalus_> among others
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:04] <Orbjinzo> anyone around?
[10:04] <tom_> whats up?
[10:05] <Orbjinzo> know anything about audacious
[10:05] <Orbjinzo> having problem its when i installed it locks when i play something
[10:05] <tom_> ive used it
[10:05] <Orbjinzo> i have tried deleting the file in the config
[10:05] <ct529> syockit: good! it works ....
[10:05] <Orbjinzo> adjusting the sound driver to alsa.
[10:05] <ct529> syockit: thanks for your help
[10:06] <Orbjinzo> and removing and reinstalling it
[10:06] <tom_> everything works but when you play?
[10:06] <Orbjinzo> ya it loads fine
[10:06] <Orbjinzo> just when i load a file
[10:06] <Orbjinzo> or a radio playlist.
[10:06] <tom_> i had a simular prob... had to do with a switch in kmix
[10:07] <tom_> ill poke aroudn and see if i can remember which one
[10:07] <Orbjinzo> alright
[10:07] <ct529> I have another problem here .... anyone using lxde as light weight desktop environment when doing computation intensive tasks? I cannot visualise the icons properly .... and there is an error appearing at login saying that I have either to run xsetting fromgnome or xfce or set the dircetory .gtkrc-2.0 .... I have done all those thinsg but the messag is still there
[10:07] <tom_> Orbjinzo: what kde / kubuntu are you o?
[10:08] <Orbjinzo> 8.04
[10:08] <Orbjinzo> and the kde verison is 3.5.10 if i recal
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> Orbjinzo: by default yes, but 4.1 can be installed on it
[10:11] <Orbjinzo> heh i dont wanna install kde 4.1
[10:12] <tom_> Orbjinzo: are you using the same adio device for recording and playback?
[10:12] <Guest32195> hi
[10:12] <Orbjinzo> yes alsa.
[10:13] <Orbjinzo> whoa
[10:13] <Scott_331> How can I control my fan speed?
[10:13] <Orbjinzo> some how it was set to use my mic as output.
[10:13] <tom_> on my older dell laptop, i had to use oss for reccording. and disable software playthough
[10:13] <tom_> ahhh
[10:13] <Orbjinzo> thats with an mp3 track
[10:13] <Orbjinzo> lets try raido
[10:13] <Orbjinzo> radio
[10:14] <Orbjinzo> ha.
[10:14] <Orbjinzo> got it
[10:15] <Orbjinzo> i was an old xmms user
[10:15] <jstanley> Scott_331: put a variable resistor somewhere on the cable
[10:15] <Orbjinzo> but its aging and had to upgrade.
[10:15] <Scott_331> jstanley: windows manages to control the fans down... but in Ubuntu they constantly run at full speed
[10:16] <jstanley> Scott_331: is it a laptop?
[10:16] <jstanley> did your oem write custom fan control software?
[10:17] <Scott_331> no, desktop
[10:18] <Scott_331> no idea about fan control software
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> Scott_331: what motherboard do you have?
[10:20] <Scott_331> Asus M2N-SLI
[10:20] <Scott_331> This one: http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=MBA-M2NSLI
[10:22] <Scott_331> Maybe there's a setting in the BIOS
[10:22] <ct529> I have another problem here .... anyone using lxde as light weight desktop environment when doing computation intensive tasks? I cannot visualise the icons properly .... and there is an error appearing at login saying that I have either to run xsetting fromgnome or xfce or set the dircetory .gtkrc-2.0 .... I have done all those thinsg but the messag is still there
[10:23] <jstanley> ct529: #lxde
[10:23] <ct529> jstanley: thanks!
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> bet cool n quiet is disaled in the ios
[10:36] <ct529> jstanley: are you not using kubuntu now?
[10:36] <jstanley> no
[10:36] <jstanley> i have the livecd running
[10:36] <jstanley> but it's not installed yet
[10:37] <GSF1200S> anyone here know anything about hdmi?
[10:37] <ct529> jstanley: is xfce very efficient, compared let's say with lxde? I need an environment for intensive computation
[10:37] <ct529> jstanley: at the moment I use kde for general purpose
[10:37] <jstanley> ct529: i've never heard of lxde, but from what i can see it's lighter than xfce
[10:37] <GSF1200S> lxde is awesome
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> fluxbox is light
[10:37] <ct529> jstanley: why so?
[10:37] <jstanley> but ct529, if you're doing computationally expensive stuff, why use x at all?
[10:37] <jstanley> ct529: xfce has more features
[10:37] <jstanley> and therefore bloat
[10:37] <jstanley> for example, it has a compositing window manager
[10:37] <ct529> GSF1200S: I have tried it but I cannot visualise the icons properly .... and there is an error appearing at login saying that I have either to run xsetting fromgnome or xfce or set the dircetory .gtkrc-2.0 .... I have done all those thinsg but the messag is still there
[10:38] <ct529> jstanley: Oh I see
[10:38] <GSF1200S> arghh.. ct529.. I run lxde on arch.. i cant help you there..
[10:38] <ct529> jstanley: just because some times you have to use ide for some programming
[10:38] <ct529> GSF1200S: arch?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> ct529: what spec machine is this running on?
[10:39] <GSF1200S> arch linux.. another distro
[10:39] <GSF1200S> ran kde on kubuntu, obviously :)
[10:40] <ct529> GSF1200S: what is arch?
[10:40] <ct529> GSF1200S: I mean what type of distro? tailored for what?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> ct529: http://www.archlinux.org/
[10:40] <GSF1200S> lightweight, rolling release, no extra crap, no specific DM, uses pacman as a package manager
[10:41] <ct529> ActionParsnip: I have a "mobile ws" where I do testing and so on .... and high spec machines or the grid when I need
[10:41] <GSF1200S> prolly the fastest binary distro.. some people have issues with packages not being downgradeable due to rolling release, but its worked for me...
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> ct529: xfce will not impact much on high spec machines, yu're probably quibbling over a few hundred hz of cpu power
[10:42] <ct529> ActionParsnip: ok ....
[10:42] <ct529> ActionParsnip: what about icewm and lxde?
[10:42] <ct529> GSF1200S: what does it mean "rolling"?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> ct529: about the same
[10:44] <GSF1200S> instead of doing releases like kubuntu, packages are constantly screened by devs and placed into testing.. once the packages are marked stable, they are placed into the core, extra repos.. Basically, you install arch in 2009, and in 2011 its up to date without ever reinstalling...
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> ct529: unless you really get down to which will save you an extra 10hz or so i dont think there's much in it
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> GSF1200S: sounds like bsd
[10:44] <GSF1200S> yeah
[10:45] <GSF1200S> pretty much, although it doesnt really have ports, and its binary
[10:45] <GSF1200S> if I have what BSD is pegged right
[10:45] <easyfit> hey, sorry for asking since you guys must get this question all the time now, but any idea when kde 4.2 will be considered stable for kubuntu 8.10?
[10:46] <GSF1200S> it has the AUR which allows you to build packages from source, and including this makes the arch repos pretty huge.. its a cool distro overall, prefer gentoo myself
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> GSF1200S: you can do that in ubuntu with apt-build
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> GSF1200S: i prefer gentoo too
[10:46] <GSF1200S> indeed.. ran ubuntu for 2 years ;)
[10:47] <GSF1200S> never really used apt-build- the repos had all I needed..
[10:47] <GSF1200S> sometimes I need to dip into the AUR for stuff.
[10:47] <GSF1200S> anyone in here know anything about HDMI?
[10:47] <ct529> ActionParsnip: well, also the ram they use is important
[10:48] <GSF1200S> im trying to build a desktop and im trying to pick the right components
[10:48] <ct529> GSF1200S: so it works similar to gentoo
[10:49] <ct529> I have found kubuntu not brilliant for performances .... but it is not optimised .... never tried to recompile tough .... is it complicated?
[10:49] <GSF1200S> well, yes, but the AUR doesnt have the convienience of use flags (youd have to edit the build) and pacman itself is binary (core and extra repos)
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> ct529: they are all super small, i wouldnt sweat it. if you are really interested, install a load of differrent systems and make a note of system useages
[10:50] <GSF1200S> but on the plus side all packages installed through the AUR is installed through pacman, so even the source installs are tracked by the package manager...
[10:51] <syockit> pacman that good?
[10:51] <jstanley> pacman is win
[10:51] <jstanley> i played it in a pub once
[10:51] <syockit> darn, not that one :)
[10:51] <GSF1200S> eh.. nothing is good compared to portage + gentoolkit, but pacman is very good
[10:51] <jstanley> GSF1200S: you used gentoo?
[10:52] <jstanley> did you install from source or from ebuilds?
[10:52] <jstanley> i tried to use gentoo once but it took sooooo long to compile everything
[10:52] <ct529> GSF1200S: what are use flags
[10:52] <GSF1200S> well, i compiled flux
[10:52] <GSF1200S> use flags allow you to control support for options in the things you install
[10:52] <GSF1200S> for example
[10:52] <jstanley> ok
[10:53] <GSF1200S> if you want kde to have hal support, you need to add the hal use flag before emerging..
[10:53] <jstanley> alright
[10:53] <GSF1200S> the kernel only took my lappie about 15 minutes
[10:53] <GSF1200S> but X took about 45
[10:54] <GSF1200S> I imagine KDE would not be fun to install
[10:55] <ct529> GSF1200S: like when you ./configure
[10:55] <GSF1200S> what do you mean?
[10:55] <ct529> how good is kubuntu at recompiling?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> ct529: as good as any distro
[10:55] <ct529> GSF1200S: when you install manually you can do the same with ./configure
[10:55] <GSF1200S> basically portage tracks  a ./configure
[10:55] <GSF1200S> so
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> gotta love emerge :)
[10:55] <ct529> ActionParsnip: well .... more or less ....
[10:56] <GSF1200S> yes, you can install source on kubuntu no prob
[10:56] <ct529> GSF1200S: does it work well with cmake?
[10:56] <GSF1200S> but apt doesnt track it
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> ct529: its the compiler which will be identical for your arch so its as good
[10:56] <GSF1200S> portage does...
[10:56] <ct529> GSF1200S: no, I meant rebuilding deb packages with optimised flags
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> GSF1200S: yeah thats really annoying how apt doesnt keep up
[10:56] <GSF1200S> i dont know.. i havent used cmake
[10:57] <ct529> ActionParsnip: no really .... it depends on CFLAGS settings and so on
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> ct529: yes i know but the compiler is the same unless you compile that first
[10:57] <GSF1200S> thats why gentoos repos are so ungodly large... anything thats source can be tweaked by gentoo devs to work with portage
[10:58] <ct529> ActionParsnip: I do not understand what do you mean .... you do not have to compile the compiler first to optimise compilation .... -march=native for example
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> ct529: but as to "how good" it is at compiling,it'll go as fast as any other compile on the same system in the same circumstances
[10:58] <GSF1200S> of course their are certain things that can be installed (and are recommended) as binary, such as OOo
[10:58] <ct529> ActionParsnip: clearly if you recompiled the compiler you would have better compiler's performances
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> ct529: exactly but i assumed you meant with an identical compiler so the test is of the distro and not the compiled compiler
[10:58] <jamesstanley> anyone know how to tell the kubuntu installer that there are hard disks in the computer?
[10:59] <jamesstanley> it doesn't seem to detect any
[10:59] <ct529> ActionParsnip: not really .... if you recompile it with the appropriate flags, on a recompiled kernel it should go faster
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> ct529: otherwise the test is moot
[10:59] <GSF1200S> jstanley: install is really easy for gentoo.. you just have to realize whats happening
[10:59] <jamesstanley> i got it to install fine
[10:59] <jamesstanley> it just took forever
[10:59] <ct529> ActionParsnip: same compiler, different flags, can give different speeds
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> ct529: im not contesting that, i'm saying that the stock compiler on identical systems with different distros will perform near identically
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> ct529: which answers your initial question
[11:00] <GSF1200S> jstanley: ahh ok.. its pretty cool though- you learn how linux is installed- that fancy liveCD is merely unpacking a tarball just like you do manually...
[11:00] <ct529> ActionParsnip:.... it depends on the compilation flags .... for example mandriva outperforms most of the others ....
[11:01] <ct529> ActionParsnip: my intial question was about the process of building the package
[11:01] <ct529> ActionParsnip: I never built a deb package before ....
[11:01] <ct529> ActionParsnip: in this case, rebuilt
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> you said: ct529: how good is kubuntu at recompiling?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> ct529: it compiles well, just like the others
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> ct529: you need to be specific in your question
[11:03] <ct529> ActionParsnip: reformulated question: how good is the process of recompiling a package on kubuntu compared let's say with rpm based distribution or manual configuration? is it very convoluted? is it irksome? is it simple?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> simple enough
[11:03] <ct529> jamesstanley: have you try parted?
[11:03] <jamesstanley> no
[11:03] <jamesstanley> cfdisk sees both disks
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> ct529: apt-build install <something>
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> ct529: it uses deb-src instead of deb repos
[11:04] <ct529> jamesstanley: install qtparted or gparted and then run it .... it should allow you to see the new disk and partition it
[11:05] <ct529> ActionParsnip: interesting .... is it possible to pass flags on?
[11:05] <ct529> ActionParsnip: during the build process ....
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> ct529: not used flags in ubuntu, the sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-build can specify heavy optomisation/light optomisation/normal optomisation
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> ct529: but otherwise not sure
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> ct529: i use heavy and it makes firefox not drag its ass like an overweight dog with worms (normal install)
[11:07] <ct529> ActionParsnip: thanks .... I will have a go!
[11:07] <ct529> ActionParsnip: I imagine it passes som -O2
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> yeah id imagine
[11:08] <ct529> ActionParsnip: try -march=native  (but you have to install cpuid)
[11:09] <jamesstanley> ct529: it seems ubuntu had mounted the disks; i umounted them and it is working
[11:09] <jamesstanley> now, an important part, if i tell the installer not to format a partition, will it leave all the files intact?
[11:09] <jamesstanley> i need to be sure it won't destroy my /home
[11:09] <ct529> jamesstanley: yes, it should .... but I would back up first
[11:10] <jamesstanley> ok
[11:10] <jamesstanley> i don't actually have anywhere i can back up 30GB of studd to
[11:10] <jamesstanley> *stuff
[11:10] <ct529> jamesstanley: that said I never do it .... but I am good at giving recommendations .... :)
[11:10] <jamesstanley> ok
[11:10] <ct529> jamesstanley: tar -cvjf
[11:10] <jamesstanley> ok
[11:10] <ct529> jamesstanley: should solve you 30Gb problem
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> i have a nihtly backup, its funny when people crythey lost their stuff and dont have a backup
[11:12] <ct529> jamesstanley: yes, I do daily backup ....
[11:12] <ct529> I am not good at doing backup before running parted
[11:13] <ct529> jamesstanley: after you have tar -cvjf, yu should have a 10Gb - 15Gb file that I hope you can store somewhere
[11:13] <ct529> jamesstanley: sometimes even less (I reduced a similar amount down to few GB)
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> i just use a cron'd cp to a usb drive
[11:14] <ct529> ActionParsnip: I use svn, so I can keep the versions
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> ct529: its all music + video so i dont care of versions :)
[11:15] <ct529> ActionParsnip: you are rigth :)
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> plus a child can restore lost data, just cp what was lost
[11:17] <ct529> ActionParsnip: :)
[11:18] <yaa_> NOPE
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> ?
[11:20] <ct529> yaa: nope what?
[11:22] <yaa_> that is the only english word i know))
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> hhaha

[12:41] <cobra-the-joker> Hey there every one ....the alt-tab thing that switches between windows ...not working :(((
[12:41] <cobra-the-joker> any body can help
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[12:43] <dr_Willis>   check the kde keyboard shortcuts? try win-tab? try alt-ctrl-tab?    if all else fails.. try a new user... see if it also affects them...
[12:44] <dr_Willis> Or just leave befor someone can answer..... that works
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> if i run an X app minimised, is the window still drawn ready for the maximise, or is it not drawn until the window is maximised
[12:46] <dr_Willis> I fail to understand the differance ActionParsnip  :)
[12:46] <dr_Willis> if a window ia minimized its not drawn i think untill its visable in any case..
[12:46] <dr_Willis> Unless i totally missunderstand how X works
[12:46]  * dr_Willis wonders how many FPS quake 3 gets when its minimized
[12:47] <Andrew``> hey all... dont know if this is the right place to be, but I have just installed mplayer and mozilla-mplayer soI could listen to a radio stream (.asx file) .. but now I cant play my .mpg and .avi files. can anyone help me ?
[12:47] <dr_Willis> You could play them befor Andrew`` ?
[12:47] <Andrew``> yes dr_Willis
[12:49] <cobra-the-joker> Any one knows How to activate the alt-tab thing ?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> cobra-the-joker: in kde or compiz?
[12:50] <cobra-the-joker> KDE
[12:50] <dr_Willis> Andrew``,  run the viewer program from a terminal. - look for error messages.
[12:51] <cobra-the-joker> ActionParsnip1 , it was disabled when i tried to enable the desktop effects :(
[12:52] <Andrew``> ok.. do you know the command to open Dragon PLayer from cli?
[12:52] <dr_Willis> Not a clue Andrew``  i never use dthat program. I perfer mplayer or vlc
[12:52] <ActionParsnip1> cobra-the-joker: it may be in keyboard settings in systemsettings. I tried to forward x to get the gui but it doesnt like it
[12:52] <dr_Willis> see if the video files can play in mplayer or vlc Andrew``
[12:53] <cobra-the-joker> ActionParsnip1 , mmm...will try
[12:54] <ActionParsnip1> cobra-the-joker: you could try defaulting the key settings, see if that works
[12:55] <kaddi> hello :)
[12:56] <toxxxa13> :)
[12:56] <Andrew``> dr_Willis,  I can play files now if I open Dragon first, but theres  no sound now.. but i have sound from my mp3s
[12:56] <Andrew``> (amarok)
[12:57] <cobra-the-joker> Ok
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> has nayone seen this, cracked me up
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=ubuntu+luks
[12:58] <dr_Willis> Andrew``,  with video files - its all about the codecs most of the time. be sure you got w32codecs package installed from medibuntu
[12:58] <Andrew``> its only just now that they have no sound
[12:58] <Andrew``> everything worked ook till just now
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> Andrew``: try a reboot
[12:59] <dr_Willis> be sure to select the 'alsa' sound server perhaps.
[12:59] <dr_Willis> in the settings
[12:59] <isome> Hi, can any body suggest me solution for kscope in kbuntu8.10?
[12:59] <isome> i got this error, kscope: error while loading shared libraries: libkateutils.so.0: cannot open shared object file
[13:00] <ActionParsnip1> isome: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kscope/+bug/295900
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> was anyone timing that?
[13:05] <freestyler01> ;)
[13:06] <khalidmian> is there such a thing as divx webplayer in kubuntu if not is there an alternate solution ?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip1> khalidmian: just make sure you have the medibuntu plugins and you can play anything
[13:08] <khalidmian> ActionParsnip1: i tried running divx file via firefox but it said i had missing plugins when i asked firefox to install the missing plugins it took me to divx page
[13:08] <dr_Willis> khalidmian,  mplayer plugin plays them for me.
[13:09] <dr_Willis> do install all the w32codec pack
[13:11] <khalidmian> dr_Willis: missing plugin video/x-msvideo
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> !codecs
[13:11] <Andrew``> Ok, I rebooted and sstill the same.. its a fatal error "error opening/initialising selected video_out (vo) device
[13:11] <khalidmian> dr_Willis: yes i did install codecs 32
[13:13] <Andrew``> I am just wondering if I uninstall the mplaer and mozilla-mplayer (not that I k now how) if that would fix the problem?
[13:13] <dr_Willis> Andrew``,  select a different video out device in the preferances
[13:16] <Andrew``> ok I am using Kaffiene to open files... is there a way to tell kubuntu to open kaffiene when I click an avi or mpg file?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip1> !computers
[13:18] <Pici> ActionParsnip1: stop
[13:18] <ActionParsnip1> just spreading the love
[13:18] <khalidmian> dr_Willis: any suggestion on missing plugin x-msvideo
[13:19] <dr_Willis> Nope. I rrely use kde4/kaffine, i tend to launch gmplayer/vlc/mplayer and tell it what video files to load/make a playlist
[13:19] <dr_Willis> or i launch the player and drag/drop the videos onto it
[13:20] <ActionParsnip1> khalidmian: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2800627&highlight=
[13:21] <kaddi> Andrew`` there is probably a nicer way to do this, but you could rightclick on the avi-file, select open with, select others, select "kaffeine" from the menu and check the box "always open file with this application"
[13:21] <kaddi> then every file of the same type will be opened with kaffeine :)
[13:21]  * dr_Willis tends to delete 'kaffine'  from that list
[13:21] <kaddi> :o why ?
[13:22] <dr_Willis> becasue i hate kaffine :) i tend to use mplayer or vlc
[13:22] <kaddi> is that just a personal preference or are there good reasons to not use kaffeine?
[13:25] <Andrew``> okI have another question..... I have Kubuntu on the one drive (SATA) but I now want to re-install Winblows on a new 2nd drive . I have found instructions on how to do it if you are installing windows onto the SAME drive.. but nothing about the way I want to do it
[13:25] <dr_Willis> kaffine rarely works properly for me.. and i use mplayer/vlc in other OS's so i perfer them
[13:26] <dr_Willis> plus i couldent get kaffine to play .rmvb videos.. mplayer did
[13:26] <kaddi> never heard of rvmb-videos :D
[13:29] <kaddi> I've used vlc on windows for a long time, but lately they have become quite a security issue :p
[13:29] <kaddi> and kaffeine does play some of the rather obscure asf-videos I have where vlc won't get any sound
[13:29] <Andrew``> dr_Willis,  can you help me with my other question?
[13:29] <dr_Willis> what was the other question?
[13:30] <Andrew``> scroill up slowly
[13:31] <khalidmian> no streaming video play supoprt atleast divx realated that i can see for linux
[13:31] <dr_Willis> got a web site to test?
[13:32] <dr_Willis> i find that many video stream sites are the 'problem' not the  the codec/players
[13:32] <Andrew``> okI have another question..... I have Kubuntu on the one drive (SATA) but I now want to re-install Winblows on a new 2nd drive . I have found instructions on how to do it if you are installing windows onto the SAME drive.. but nothing about the way I want to do it

[13:43] <dr_Willis> Ijust unplug the other hd.. and install windos to the one i want
[13:46] <chris-rc1>  i am trying to reinstall my mbr with a kubuntu live-cd. i mounted the root partition and did chroot, but now i cannot mount /boot. can sb help me pls?
[13:54] <JackWinter> anyone have an idea why i can no longer shutdown or relogin again.  all apps close and the screen goes black, but the cursor keeps working and at that point the process ends.  kdm keeps running.  the only way to shutdown is changing to a virtual term and do it manually...
[13:55] <JackWinter> if i do a sudo reboot now, then kde will finish shutting down and the computer will shutdown and then reboot.  it's just from kde that i can't do it...

[13:56] <torkiano> hello, I'm trying jaunty and I have problems with my touchpad, anyone else?
[14:02] <jals> hi, i have 2 machines on my local network running ubuntu variants (k|xubuntu) but only one set of mouse/keyboard/monitor to go with them; what would be an easy way to access the other machine remotely?
[14:06] <uga> jals: google for freenx
[14:06] <jals> thanks uga, will do
[14:06] <uga> jals: or nomachine
[14:06] <jals> ok
[14:06] <uga> !nx
[14:06] <uga> jals: ^^^
[14:07] <jals> thanks :)
[14:08] <uga> jals: there's windows clients too at nomachine.com site
[14:08] <jals> both  machines are linux, so no need
[14:09] <jals> i just built a new machine and need to keep the old one about for a little while
[14:11] <uga> jals: what makes freenx especial compared to others like VNC is that you can use it through the internet too, with rather low bandwidth
[14:11] <jals> yeah, sounds good if you need that functionality
[14:12] <jals> command line access would do tbh
[14:12] <uga> which means sure you'll want to access it through a remote internet windows computer at some point ;)
[14:12] <uga> jals: then why not just install ssh
[14:12] <jals> uga, no reason, except i'm not that familiar with ssh heh
[14:13] <uga> jals: apt-get install openssh-server
[14:13] <uga> jals: /etc/init.d/ssh start
[14:13] <uga> and you can remotely do "ssh machinename", it'll ask you username and password
[14:13] <jals> cool
[14:13] <uga> an dyou have command line access
[14:13] <jals> i need to hook up the other machine to install that, brb
[14:14] <uga> jals: it's secure connection (encrypted)
[14:14] <uga> its' similar to telnet, if you know it
[14:14] <dou213> jals, but it is more secure with pub keys
[14:14] <uga> yups
[14:15] <uga> dou213: how did you type that almost at the same time I wrote "it's similar to telnet"? =)
[14:15] <uga> 1 sec to write the whole sentence, or you predicted what I wanted to type? =)
[14:15] <khalidmian> dr_Willis: heres another link
[14:15] <khalidmian> dr_Willis: http://www.movshare.net/video/luom0sf2hqhfr
[14:15] <khalidmian> cannot play streaming video
[14:16] <dou213> :)
[14:17] <uga> oh well, I have ot go now. if jals has any trouble with ssh, can anyone help him out? I won't be able to respond
[14:17] <uga> cya
[14:18] <bindaas> how to create shortcut or any symbolic link in intrepid?
[14:18] <dou213> bindaas, 'man ln'
[14:19] <bindaas> dou213: i dont have problem with *ln*
[14:19] <bindaas> my problem is even when i create or stroe anything in desktop dir, i cant see in desktop
[14:20] <bindaas> store*
[14:20] <bindaas> hmm different behaviour in kde 4?
[14:22] <JackWinter> bindaas: the ~/Desktop dir isn't what you see on the desktop...  the is some plasmoid that shows what you put in Desktop
[14:22] <kaddi> so how do you create a shortcut on your desktop? I've been wondering that as well :D
[14:23] <JackWinter> kaddi: don't know, am still on hardy :)  just playing with a vbox install of inteprid at times :)
[14:23] <bindaas> JackWinter: say i created a ln to a application in desktop ,how to see it ?
[14:23] <bindaas> aha late :(
[14:24] <JackWinter> bindaas: just telling you that there are 2 desktops.  one that you see, and another one in ~/Desktop.  what the correlation is i don't know
[14:24] <yaa_> WHAT?????
[14:25] <bindaas> different behaviour in new version,previously it was not like that
[14:26] <kalorin> bindass, I remember reading something about that
[14:26] <kalorin> adn they had a reason for doing it this way
[14:26] <kaddi> bindaas: i've been told, that you could just add a widget showing the content of the "Desktop"-folder to your dekstop. so you see it's content and the links
[14:27] <kaddi> but that wasn't really what i wanted :)
[14:27] <bindaas> hmm

[15:14] <jamesstanley> hi
[15:14] <trappist> hey what's the util I launch with alt-space that... opens stuff?
[15:14] <adi_> can anyone help me with usb wireless dlink dwl-g122 in kde 4
[15:14] <trappist> can't remember what it's called
[15:14] <adi_> i cant connect
[15:15] <cadman21> jamesstanley: I did that but they won't activate..
[15:15] <adi_> hat should I do in kubuntu with kde 4 to connect to this usb dlink
[15:15] <jamesstanley> cadman21: did you restart x?
[15:16] <cadman21> jamesstanley: x?
[15:16] <jamesstanley> pictures-mode
[15:16] <adi_> lsusb gives this: Bus 005 Device 005: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System DWL-G122 802.11g Adapter [ralink rt73]
[15:16] <bartvk> Hi.. I run Kubuntu LiveUSB and every two, three minutes, it halts for 2 to 3 seconds (mouse pointer does not respond). Any idea what this causes?
[15:16] <cadman21> Jamesstanley: no
[15:16] <jamesstanley> log out, press Ctrl-alt-backspace, then log in
[15:16] <jamesstanley> wait
[15:16] <jamesstanley> what do you mean by 'activate' drivers?
[15:17] <jamesstanley> did it download them and install them?
[15:17] <adi_> does this ralink rt73 is included by default in kubuntu 8.10?
[15:19] <adi_> anyone any idea?
[15:19] <cadman21> jamesstanley: I just installed kubuntu last night,  and a window popped up and told me to activate me Graphics card drivers. so I click activate and the loading bar went back and forth a couple of times then stopped and the % stayed at 0
[15:19] <adi_> I can see the light on the usb but cant connect to network
[15:20] <jamesstanley> adi_: i would suspect that kubuntu comes with it, as there is a free driver for it, but i don't know
[15:20] <jamesstanley> cadman21: in that case i don't know what happened
[15:20] <adi_> this was wat happend in ubuntu
[15:20] <adi_> but here in kubuntu I dont know
[15:21] <cadman21> jamesstanley: is there a way to activate them through the command line?
[15:21] <adi_> but normally it should be included in kernel in kubuntu...
[15:21] <adi_> right?
[15:21] <jamesstanley> cadman21: apt-cache search nvidia
[15:21] <jamesstanley> or ati if you have ati

[15:28] <JuJuBee> I downloaded the latest kubuntu image yesterday (32bit) but cannot get anything other than mirror on my dual head setup.  BUT with the ubuntu live CD I can get spanning desktop with ability to drag window from one to the other.
[15:28] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Talking about compiz?
[15:28] <palbuddy> hi! newbie!  I love using my keyboard, and I was wondering if anyone had a webpage on key combinations for kde 4.2
[15:29] <palbuddy> like how do I open kickoff with the keyboard?
[15:29] <JuJuBee> Sp0tKubuntu: whatever is default on live cd.
[15:29] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Ubuntu have compix, kubuntu got KDE
[15:29] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Ubuntu is Gnome that is
[15:30] <Geggele> hello give me plaese an german sever
[15:30] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: And Kubuntu KDE. I think you talk about compiz effect? Desktop cube?
[15:30] <JuJuBee> Sp0tKubuntu: thought they both use xorg?  Why would it matter then?  Pardon my ignorance.
[15:30] <Sp0tKubuntu> !de
[15:30] <Geggele> many thx
[15:30] <JuJuBee> Not desktop cube.  I want (eventually) 2 separate monitors with 2 separate desktops Separate panels etc...
[15:31] <lolipop> Hi folks, I'm using kubuntu 8.04 kde 4.1, is that possible to upgrade to kde 4.2?
[15:31] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Im newbie to! I just try the same thing, and only works in Ubuntu, not Kubuntu
[15:31] <JuJuBee> I use ATI Mobilitiy 9600 card in laptop.
[15:31] <JuJuBee> Hmmm, that is weird.  That means I will be switching back to Gnome then.  I prefer KDE, but not so much 4.x
[15:32] <jamesstanley> palbuddy: alt-f1 for kickoff
[15:32] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: You can get compiz for kubuntu, just allow the other source in software sources
[15:32] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: I hae same problems, using Kubuntu, cant play a simple DVD; lagging!
[15:32] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: I Ubuntu, no problems!
[15:32] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Have* In*
[15:33] <burn_> anyone havig problems with ati radeon grafic cards and fglrx drivers?
[15:33] <JuJuBee> I thought the display manager was independant of the drivers in use?
[15:33] <JuJuBee> burn_ : yes.  What is your problem?
[15:34] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: I dont know it for sure, i have just tryed the same, and got confused, and then i left compiz to be
[15:34] <JuJuBee> burn_: my problems started with latest update to xorg
[15:34] <burn_> i downladed newest drivers from ati [9.1] and installit, work perfecly with resolution 1280x1024 and evriting worked, afted 3 or 4 restarts kde cannot be runned
[15:34] <palbuddy> thanks james!
[15:34] <burn_> showing some debugging simols and [stat] error
[15:34] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: That is because i like KDE
[15:35] <JuJuBee> Sp0tKubuntu: Me to.  But I require dual head to work.
[15:35] <JuJuBee> At least in some capacity other than mirror.
[15:35] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Dual head? 2 desk?
[15:35] <JuJuBee> Yes
[15:35] <JuJuBee> 2 desktops.
[15:35] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: That should work in all systems
[15:35] <JuJuBee> each with own panel
[15:36] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: I have 10 desks
[15:36] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: That is a configuration question i think
[15:36] <jamesstanley> anyone know what device 'sr1' is?
[15:36] <jamesstanley> because i'm getting lots and lots of errors about it
[15:37] <JuJuBee> Sorry, not the multiple desktops switcher for a single screen, I mean 2 separate screens with own desktop config, panel, /home/me/Desktop and /home/me/Desktop1
[15:37] <f1y> h1 all
[15:37] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: You can tell everything where it should be shown, exsample, Desk2 firefox
[15:37] <ares28ultra> Ciaooo a tutti..
[15:37] <JuJuBee> Not talking about the Pager at the bottom in panel,
[15:38] <ares28ultra> Hello at all!
[15:38] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Ahh, that i know nothing about! You want to use more monitors? Hardware?
[15:38] <phma> !jbo
[15:38] <JuJuBee> Sp0tKubuntu: correct.
[15:38] <JuJuBee> I have 2 monitors.
[15:38] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Sorry for confusing you then :-)

[15:39] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: BUT! On my laptop, i choose "System settings" "Screen" and then config it
[15:39] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: In there, in Kubuntu, i see chooses for TV and extra monitors, like TV
[15:39] <JuJuBee> Had it working flawlessly with kubuntu 7.10 each own resolution etc... when update to 8.04, can't get second monitor to 1280x1024.
[15:40] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Have you tryed some display programs for controlling that for you?
[15:40] <adrian15b> Whenever I try to install a package it asks me about choosing to preserve a local file or not. I do not want to be asked. I want the command to take a default action. assume-yes and force-yes did not work. Does anybody know?
[15:40] <JuJuBee> Sp0tKubuntu: System Settings -> Display on latest live cd wont allow me to anything but mirror.
[15:41] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: I have i program, dont know if it can be used, called, KRandTray
[15:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Hmm, i can do the same in the new almost like in the old, exept deleting windows partitions as they dont appear
[15:42] <JuJuBee> Sp0tKubuntu: tried xrandr but it shows max resolution for external monitor to 1024x768 which is incorrect.  It can do 1280x1024 and it did when I had kubuntu 7.10
[15:42] <ares28ultra> someone knows a naruto it chan??
[15:42] <Sp0tKubuntu> JuJuBee: Maybe the program? Try another app :-)
[15:42] <burn_> i need to use 1024x768 so i can see my desktop on tv, if u use 1280x1024 i dont see whole desktop
[15:43] <burn_> but ati drivers dont work well on 8.04

[15:49] <Novalgina2Fast> alarm_: i have done the upgrade but then reboot i can do login but then kde4.2 don't start,only there is the wallpaper and i can move only the mouse
[15:50] <khalidmian> whats the alternative for gtk pod for kubunu something thats good and works well ?
[15:50] <alarm_> so it appears the kde4.2 login and when you enter it shows what ?

[15:53] <alarm_> 2) check inside /var/log/kdm.log
[15:53] <alarm_> 3) make sure you installed correctly kde4.2

[16:08] <student18> Help.  A student removed all the panels on kubuntu.  When I make a new panel, the first widget takes the whole panel.  The second blocks everything and nothing is usable,
[16:10] <ghostcube> student18: is it possible to change the user or add a new user ?
[16:10] <ghostcube> or maybe start a blank session so it would load defaults
[16:10] <student18> yeah I can add a user
[16:11] <student18> how would I load a blank session?
[16:11] <ghostcube> maybe try the clean session
[16:11] <ghostcube> in systemsettings session management
[16:11] <student18> that sounds like the quicker of the two
[16:11] <ghostcube> its in the advanced option tab
[16:12] <student18> I'll try that, brb

[16:15] <alarm_> anyone know how to make my external usb hdd to be read only ? on previous version of kubuntu/kde you could do that from dialog boxes, not anymore . how could i do them to be mounted read only ?
[16:15] <surgy> its an nvidia graphics card and no i didnt press alt f1 but i will now
[16:15] <jamesstanley> alarm_: specify the option 'ro' when mounting
[16:15] <jamesstanley> or in the fstab
[16:15] <chris-rc1> i want to access a site which according to ALL my browsers does not exist. but i can access the site via all other pcs in the SAME network. i can also access it from vista on the same machine that it is not working on when on intrepid
[16:15] <alarm_> jamesstanley,  there is no line for the usb devices in the fstab to modify it
[16:15] <jamesstanley> chris-rc1: are you specifying the fqdn?
[16:15] <ghostcube> chris-rc1: can u access any page ?
[16:15] <surgy> cntrl+alt + F8 tells me that it froze on "checking battery state
[16:15] <alarm_> its being automounted from... udev ? i dont know
[16:16] <jamesstanley> alarm_: probably hal, but if you add the line in /etc/fstab it will go from there instead of hal
[16:16] <alarm_> with read/write access and i wnat to change it to read only
[16:16] <chris-rc1> yes, i can. i can even access the site using the alternative web address, but i cannot even ping the other one
[16:16] <jamesstanley> chris-rc1: what is the web address?
[16:16] <alarm_> jamesstanley, that means i have to create also mountpoints and add flags for the mounting
[16:16] <chris-rc1> jamesstanley: fqdn?
[16:16] <ghostcube> chris-rc1: maybe an bug inside the dns server yu choosed inside linux client is it the same one as for the other pcs ?
[16:16] <jamesstanley> chris-rc1: fully-qualified domain name
[16:17] <chris-rc1> one is univis.ovgu.de, the other univis.uni-magdeburg.de
[16:17] <jamesstanley> ok then, that should work
[16:17] <surgy> jamestanley: it haulted on "checking battery state"
[16:17] <ghostcube> chris-rc1: btw warum gehst du nich in den de channel lol
[16:17] <jamesstanley> surgy: in that case i don't know how to help
[16:17] <jamesstanley> perhaps there's a problem with your acpi hardware
[16:17] <chris-rc1> ghostcube: because it doesn't matter
[16:18] <ghostcube> jamesstanley: maybe he can boot without acpi enabled
[16:18] <Novalgina2Fast> alarm_: startx give me a lot of error and this is my var/log/kdm.log : http://pastebin.com/m3216711f ,i have done the right procedur to install kde 4.2 and i have installed it from repository so i don't know how renstall it
[16:18] <chris-rc1> thing is, that if this happens with sites without me noticing...
[16:19] <jamesstanley> chris-rc1: how long ago was the domain name registered?
[16:19] <alarm_> Novalgina2Fast,  did u take this procedure ? http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2
[16:19] <jamesstanley> and are you using the same dns server as all the other machins on the network?
[16:19] <chris-rc1> i think it might be a dns problem, since my machine cannot resolve the hostname at all
[16:19] <alarm_> Novalgina2Fast, sorry http://pastebin.com/m3216711f doesnt show me anythinh
[16:19] <chris-rc1> jamesstanley: long ago
[16:19] <surgy> was kde 4.2 ever added to an oficial repo?

[16:20] <chris-rc1> surgy: i think it's only in experimental
[16:20] <surgy> jamesstanley: no it was kde 4.1 when i downloaded it and i had to use an "experimental" repo to get 4.2 now i want to uninstall kde and reinstall it with the real repo
[16:21] <chris-rc1> surgy: there is no 'real' repo for kde 4.2 in intrepid
[16:21] <surgy> umm 4.2 was supposed to be officially released weeks ago
[16:21] <kaddi> it's in the jaunty res though, if you want to upgrade ;)
[16:21] <kaddi> reps
[16:21] <Pici> Its only in the 'experimental' PPAs currently.
[16:21] <surgy> man i wished i could get back to my desktop
[16:21] <alarm_> Novalgina2Fast, seems that your xorg.conf file is messed up. did you try to reconfigure it ?
[16:22] <surgy> i need to reinstall kde 4.2 how do i do this?
[16:22] <chris-rc1> surgy: kde 4.2 has officially been released, that doesn't mean it is 'official' in kubuntu
[16:22] <Novalgina2Fast> alarm_ : i take the procedure from kde.org-how i can reconfigure xorg?
[16:23] <jamesstanley> does anyone know the easiest way to get a broadcom wireless card to work in a kubuntu machine that doesn't have access to the internet?
[16:23] <surgy> chris-rc1: ok how do i uninstall kde 4.2 from the terminal and then reinstall it?
[16:23] <chris-rc1> so can anybody tell me how i can dump the dns cache
[16:23] <jamesstanley> i know i could either obtain the firmware for the b43 driver, or obtain ndiswrapper
[16:23] <jamesstanley> can anyone suggest which is easier?
[16:23] <chris-rc1> surgy: why do you wanna uninstall it?
[16:23] <surgy> chris-rc1: also did they change repos from the experimental repo?
[16:23] <alarm_> Novalgina2Fast,  back up your xorg.conf and try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
