[00:07] <wilhart> where in KDE do i config that alt-tab just access desktop1?
[00:08] <RoDiMuS-X> nerdy_kid: there is no native dock other than the bar in KDE
[00:12] <nerdy_kid> RoDiMuS-X: no, but the bar can be made to look like a dock.
[00:16] <wilhart> anyone?
[00:16] <wilhart> know where the place is
[00:17] <KimLaRoux> do you mean; desktop 1, even on every other desktops, or the active desktop?
[00:18] <wilhart> KimLaRoux, i have desktop1 and 2
[00:18] <wilhart> KimLaRoux, i mean projector and desktop
[00:18] <wilhart> KimLaRoux, when i watch moveies and press alt-tab u know
[00:19] <KimLaRoux> so you have like a dual screen
[00:19] <wilhart> dont want that window to switch
[00:19] <wilhart> yes
[00:19] <wilhart> twinview
[00:19] <KimLaRoux> ah, tricky
[00:19] <KimLaRoux> nvidia card?
[00:19] <wilhart> yes
[00:19] <wilhart> KimLaRoux, it's annoying
[00:19] <KimLaRoux> using what output for the projector?
[00:19] <wilhart> KimLaRoux, mm vpdau
[00:20] <KimLaRoux> hhmm, I don't even know what vpdau is =P
[00:20] <wilhart> heh
[00:20] <wilhart> xv? then?
[00:20] <KimLaRoux> neither
[00:21] <KimLaRoux> lol
[00:21] <KimLaRoux> I meant, hardware... VGA, DVI, S-vid?
[00:21] <KimLaRoux> do you have a real twin-head card or is one output simply a tv-out
[00:22] <wilhart> KimLaRoux, dvi-hdmi
[00:22] <KimLaRoux> Ah, technology... I forgot about those
[00:22] <wilhart> there should be some kindo setting
[00:23] <KimLaRoux> well, I know there's a way in nvidia panel under windows to setup one out as pure video; the video from any player in any screen is piped through the tv-out
[00:24] <KimLaRoux> I'd be amazed if such a feat was feasible under linux
[00:24] <wilhart> meh
[00:25] <KimLaRoux> what about setting up the other head as a different desktop?
[00:25] <KimLaRoux> instead of an extended one
[00:25] <KimLaRoux> I know this can be done
[00:28] <Glaivlen> does anyone know a good graphing program for linux? :\
[00:28] <KimLaRoux> the gimp
[00:28] <Glaivlen> Especially one that knows trig functions... :)
[00:28] <KimLaRoux> oh you mean
[00:28] <KimLaRoux> calculcator?
[00:28] <Glaivlen> Yush XD
[00:28] <Glaivlen> sorry bout confuzzlation :P
[00:29] <KimLaRoux> ExtCalc
[00:29] <KimLaRoux> Genius Math Tools
[00:29] <KimLaRoux> Speedcrunch
[00:29] <Glaivlen> Thanks :D
[00:29] <KimLaRoux> those are the 4 I use
[00:29] <KimLaRoux> they are in apt
[00:30] <KimLaRoux> 3*
[00:30] <Glaivlen> Tan functions confuse me so much ;-;
[00:31] <KimLaRoux> I find it most interesting
[00:31] <KimLaRoux> it's a simple sin/cos
[00:34] <Glaivlen> how do you find the asymptotes when the function transforms?
[00:35] <KimLaRoux> the asymptotes are the lines where there is no X
[00:35] <Glaivlen> Ah...
[00:35] <KimLaRoux> =)
[00:36] <KimLaRoux> the lines of the function follows them, up and down, but never actually reach them
[00:44] <westyvw> Arrgg so many crashy apps!
[00:45] <KimLaRoux> welcome to 10.10
[00:45] <westyvw> no kidding
[00:45] <KimLaRoux> =)
[00:45] <westyvw> switched from debian Sid to Kubuntu, much moar crashy now
[00:45] <KimLaRoux> last time I'm updating to anything else than an LTS =P
[00:46] <Glaivlen> how do you do pi in Genius and extcalc?
[00:48] <KimLaRoux> type pi
[00:48] <KimLaRoux> lol
[00:49] <Glaivlen> Gives me an error :(
[00:49] <Glaivlen> Call of 'pi' with the wrong number of arguments!
[00:49] <Glaivlen> (should be 0)
[00:49] <Glaivlen> Call of 'pi' with the wrong number of arguments!
[00:49] <Glaivlen> (should be 0)
[00:49] <Glaivlen> Call of 'pi' with the wrong number of arguments!
[00:49] <FloodBotK2> Glaivlen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:51] <frogonwheels> Glaivlen:  pi() ?
[00:51] <KimLaRoux> yes, you have to use () very often, they prefer those
[00:51] <pibarnas> pi(barnas)
[00:53] <KimLaRoux> why do you need pi in the grap?
[00:53] <KimLaRoux> nvm
[00:54] <Fuku> witam
[00:55] <Fuku> hello
[00:55] <Fuku> are u here?

[02:53] <palodequeso> has anyone tried to get BuGle working in 10.10?
[02:53] <palodequeso> I can't get it to compile.
[02:56] <moetunes>    palodequeso what are the errors?
[02:56] <palodequeso> moetunes: one second
[02:56] <palodequeso> build/gcc_gcc_gl_glx_x11_posix_release/budgielib/lib.c:38534: error: too many arguments to function ‘(GLuint (*)(GLuint,  GLsizei,  GLenum *, GLuint *, GLuint *, GLsizei *, GLchar *))budgie_function_address_real(603)’
[02:57] <moetunes> palodequeso:  that looks like the app wasn't written right...
[02:58] <palodequeso> hmm, do you know of any other opengl debugging software?
[02:58] <palodequeso> so far, I've been writing my own, building it into my application, but this offers such rapid information
[02:58] <moetunes> nope sorry
[02:58] <palodequeso> okey dokey, thanks anyway :)
[04:26] <seawing> Hello, I have done a fresh install of kubuntu 10.10 and have been experiencing troubles.  Programs open slowly, more than three porcesses running at once and it grinds to a halt,  internet connection on Firefox and Opera work sometimes and sometimes not both wireless and ethernet, Very slow to switch between windows, etc.  On the suggestion of someone here, I reinstalled KDE with no noticable effect.  I have tried creating a new user,
[04:26] <seawing>  nothing.  Do I need to just burn a new disk and start from scratch?  I can't really afford to have my laptop down any longer.
[04:28] <Muldies> does anyone know how to get an apple bluetooth keyboard/magic mouse to work under 10.10? the installer works fine, and if i boot linux with safe mode and drop to a shell, the keyboard works, but on normal boot, at the kdm login screen, neither device will work. so i'm guessing something to do with whatever bluetooth manager kde is using is screwing up the pairing or omsething
[04:41] <seawing> I guess I'll try back later.
[04:43] <jonbet> hi all..
[04:45] <jonbet> does anybody know why does alsa-driver 1.0.23 is newer than 1.0.9..?
[05:07] <westyvw> or are you here seawing?
[05:08] <Balsaq> good morning kubuntites
[05:08] <westyvw> i started working on fixing my overclocking problems last night anyone here familiar with cpu frequency adjustment on Kubuntu?
[05:10] <Balsaq> Unfortunately, CPU frequency scaling can currently only be monitored on Linux machines that have support in the kernel.
[05:10] <westyvw> i have suppot, and thats acutally the problem
[05:11] <Balsaq> explain
[05:11] <westyvw> processor is overclocked at 3.6
[05:11] <westyvw> cpu reports capabilities that are put into the stepping
[05:12] <westyvw> Kubuntu obeys stepping and runs max at 3.0
[05:12] <westyvw> dmidecode -t processor shows tru speed, while cat  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
[05:12] <westyvw> show stepping speed
[05:13] <westyvw> i need to know what the governor is for Kubuntu so I can get it to either quit interfering or manipulate it
[05:13] <Balsaq> Install cpufreq-selector with SUID root
[05:15] <westyvw> being a part of the cpufreq utils package i would imagine?
[05:17] <Balsaq> In your Ubuntu
[05:17] <Balsaq> , you can easily switch your CPU frequency via the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor Gnome-applets.
[05:17] <Balsaq> http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-control-your-cpu-frequency-in-ubuntu/2009/04/10
[05:18] <westyvw> lol gnome applet it KDE?
[05:18] <Balsaq> get it going in gnome desktop then instal lkde after the fact?
[05:18] <westyvw> and no it would not work, because the max the applet will allow is set in the  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
[05:19] <Balsaq> eh
[05:19] <westyvw> now i could echo into the max frew
[05:19] <westyvw> freq
[05:19] <westyvw> the cpufreutils do not work as their is no user space
[05:19] <westyvw> previosuly I would disable cpu throttling in Debian Sid and that was good enough
[05:21] <moetunes> do you have the file   /etc/con.d/cpufreq   ?
[05:21] <moetunes> do you have the file   /etc/conf.d/cpufreq   ?
[05:21] <westyvw> no
[05:22] <Balsaq> i see
[05:23] <westyvw> i would have to add the cpufreq deamon i believe. but i dont want it to conflict with the current cpu manager (which is working BTW)
[05:24] <westyvw> could try it anyway....
[05:24] <westyvw> lol now it jumped to 3 GHZ and stays there
[05:25] <Balsaq> i wonder if i can move my 3.4HT to 3.6 or higher?
[05:25] <westyvw> whats HT?
[05:25] <Balsaq> hyper threading
[05:25] <westyvw> oh i see
[05:25] <Balsaq> in a way its like an early dual core
[05:26] <westyvw> set cpu overclock in bios
[05:26] <Balsaq> nice fat one
[05:26] <westyvw> then get it to work in the machine
[05:26] <Balsaq> i wonder if its easier to tweak fsb and the ram
[05:26] <westyvw> mine is a late run of my processor, so intel was getting perfect cores, but making them different to have different price points
[05:27] <westyvw> that way i knowmine is a underclocked 3.6
[05:27] <westyvw> so i should run it at 3.6
[05:27] <westyvw> and have for years
[05:27] <Balsaq> not sure if the prescotts were like that or not
[05:27] <Balsaq> but its blazing fast wit h4 gigs of ddr2
[05:27] <westyvw> sweet. i gotta reboot BRB
[05:28] <jesse_> hi
[05:28] <jesse_> anyone with drupal here
[05:33] <westyvw> is Kubuntu using apt or aptitude?
[05:34] <westyvw> dang need to reboot again! purged files
[05:39] <frogonwheels> westyvw: aptitude is (like all the debian/ubuntu package managers) just a wrapper around apt
[05:39] <westyvw> frogonwheels: once you aptitude you dont go back
[05:40] <westyvw> frogonwheels: seriously, if a system is set up with aptiture you dont switch back to apt, you need to know
[05:41] <frogonwheels> westyvw: I dunno why - I use apt-get install when I need to - but generally use aptitude for upgrading stuff
[05:44] <westyvw> ah crap i gotta get higher permissions then sudo to echo to /sys/devices
[05:44] <westyvw> now i gotta set up a root user
[05:44] <westyvw> unless someone can tell me another way
[05:44] <frogonwheels> westyvw: sudo -s   ?
[05:45] <westyvw> permission denied
[05:45] <frogonwheels> .. just sudo -s
[05:45] <westyvw> AH!
[05:45] <westyvw> thanks
[05:45] <frogonwheels> np
[05:45] <westyvw> i didnt know you could do that
[05:45] <frogonwheels> :)
[05:46] <westyvw> ACK! still permission denied!
[05:46] <frogonwheels> westyvw: presumably you're echoing to things you shouldn't be
[05:47] <westyvw> UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things. -- Doug Gwyn
[05:48] <frogonwheels> westyvw: ok - but we're talking /sys  so it's a pseudo filesystem - so sometimes you just can't do things in there!
[05:48] <westyvw> frogonwheels: yeah i know. I just want to echo in a new maxfrequency
[05:49] <frogonwheels> westyvw: :) well obviously there's no feedback from the maxfrequency to actaully doing a system change
[05:49] <westyvw> this is a fresh install i am messing with it to find the answer then reinstall anyways, so it should be good
[05:49] <westyvw> http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling
[05:51] <frogonwheels> so you're  using scaling_setspeed  ??   looks like this requires some kernel options enabled (guses they should be tho)
[05:51] <sresu> After recent upgrade, mozilla and vlc window have changed to like this - http://imagebin.ca/view/oBwKKre.html  http://imagebin.ca/view/IgE-zNsl.html  What can be wrong?
[05:53] <westyvw> frogonwheels: lowerdown in the page you can see editing the values manually using the sys interface. Already tried adding my own governers, but its not the way to go
[06:12] <frogonwheels> westyvw: did you set your governor to userspace ?
[06:12] <westyvw> no not yet
[06:13] <frogonwheels> you might want to try that - suspect that's why you can't change your speed
[06:13] <westyvw> would i need to add or change any freq demon?
[06:13] <westyvw> ok i will edit sys.cong
[06:13] <westyvw> ok i will edit sys.conf
[06:13] <frogonwheels> just echo userspace > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_govenor
[06:13] <frogonwheels> afaics
[06:14] <frogonwheels> "If you are using the userspace governor, you can write to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed  ...."   the relevent words being 'IF' , 'userspace' and 'govenor'
[06:17] <westyvw> wionder why i wouldnt have to do that to both cores?
[06:18] <moetunes> one is linked to the other
[06:18] <westyvw> brb reboot
[06:18] <moetunes> have a look at cpu1s' cpufreq folder
[06:22] <moetunes> a nice little script I use to change the cpu freq - http://pastebin.com/pDTVnrhB
[06:30] <westyvw> even editing sys control isnot setting the sys devices
[06:34] <moetunes> I thought sysctl worked on /proc/sys files not /sys...
[06:34] <westyvw> sorry sysfs.conf
[06:38] <moetunes> are you loading the userspace module?
[07:45] <Cato37> is there an alternative to adobe flash?
[07:46] <elimental> html5 ? :)
[07:46] <elimental> sorry could not resist
[07:46] <moetunes> !flash
[07:46] <Cato37> :) np.
[07:47] <Cato37> i tried gnash but i got a crash bug alert, and am currently letting the packager dl the debugging symbols to send back.
[07:48] <moetunes> gnash never worked for me here
[07:48] <Cato37> it will take 18 minutes for all the packages. is that about right with a low end broadband connection?
[07:48] <Cato37> for the debugging packages that is
[07:49] <moetunes> depends on the size of the download and your speed...
[07:50] <Cato37> regardless of the stupid things i have done in root, i have used kubuntu consistently all semester. :)
[07:52] <Cato37> i havent had the chance to fill out a crash handler alert before, so it is pretty exciting.
[07:52] <moetunes> heh I wouldn't call it exciting :)
[07:57] <grateremo> hello can i ask some one something for a sec ?
[07:58] <grateremo> i dont think i have a major problem but i can fix it my self
[07:59] <grateremo> any one ???
[08:00] <elimental> just ask already if someone can awnser they will
[08:00] <moetunes> grateremo:  you have to say what the issue is :)
[08:02] <grateremo> well my issue is that i am trying to update my kubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 and when its done installing to the HD it wont load after i restart my computer
[08:03] <moetunes> what do you mean about it not loading?
[08:03] <elimental> stuck at grub?
[08:04] <grateremo> no it gets past my computers bios and just shows a blinking line and hangs there
[08:04] <moetunes> sounds like it didn't install grub
[08:05] <elimental> have you got a live cd?
[08:05] <grateremo> all i did was download the dvd ver of kubuntu 10.10
[08:07] <elimental> Do you know linux aka you want command line fix or do you want to click fix?
[08:08] <elimental> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[08:08] <grateremo> dont matter to me but i have no were to type a command in
[08:09] <elimental> thats why the live cd Question
[08:09] <grateremo> i can run off the cd if i have to
[08:09] <elimental> above link shows you how to fix
[08:09] <grateremo> ok thanks
[08:10] <elimental> command line just boot goto konsole mount drive, chroot and do a grub-install
[08:11] <grateremo> ok and another thing i would like to know befor i install this is how do i change the root password ??
[08:12] <moetunes> sudo passwd in a terminal
[08:12] <grateremo> ok thanks thats all i need to know for to night
[08:12] <elimental> sudo passwd root
[08:12] <moetunes> but you need to know the original one
[08:12] <grateremo> thats fine
[08:12] <jussi> !supportroot
[08:13] <grateremo> but thanks again
[08:13] <grateremo> good night
[08:13] <jussi> elimental: grateremo, please see above
[08:26] <grateremo> ok i have every thing working on my computer now but i still have the same problem that i had in 10.04 which is i can load my gt 220 nvidia driver
[08:29] <grateremo> hello ???
[08:30] <amigrave> with multiple monitors, who can I tell which monitor should be the 'master' with the taskbar. I can't set the master to "absolute" position but I can't put the "secondary" on "Above". The opposite is possible tought (which I don't want)
[09:33] <wilhart> anyone here?
[09:33] <wilhart> how do i alt-tab without the twin view screen 2
[09:34] <moetunes> err what do you want to do?
[09:36] <Space_Man> wilhart: you can alt-tab by pressing the alt key and the tab key :P
[09:36] <moetunes> heh
[10:12] <sresu> After recent upgrade,vlc window has changed to like this - http://imagebin.ca/view/oBwKKre.html  What can be wrong?
[10:12] <sresu> Why that black bold line?
[10:12] <sresu>
[10:12] <amichair> sresu: I think that's where the content is supposed to go (in non-fullscreen mode)
[10:13] <sresu>  amichair, No it was not like that before
[10:13] <sresu> amichair: Do you use vlc?
[10:14] <amichair> yep
[10:14] <sresu> That's not much of a problem but why mozilla -  http://imagebin.ca/view/IgE-zNsl.html  ??
[10:14] <amichair> currently 1.1.4
[10:14] <sresu> Did you see the change in the mozilla window as well?
[10:14] <Ced_> Heya, i have a DNS related problem on ubuntu, can point me in the right direction?
[10:15] <sresu> Ced_: Ubuntu or Kubuntu distro?
[10:15] <amichair> sresu: I don't (FF is quite customizable, so mine might look different in any case)
[10:15] <sresu> amichair: No able to understand why it became dull
[10:16] <Ced_> sresu: Ubuntu, but the problem is not gnome or KDE related
[10:17] <sresu> Ced_: For DNS you must contact your ISP, I suppose
[10:17] <amichair> sresu: my vlc as of a recent upgrade shows the construction cone in the middle of the video screen when not playing (it used to be just black). but I think it's all in the configuration somewhere.
[10:17] <sresu> amichair: Yeah, I will find that out..
[10:17] <Ced_> sresu: No, we have a local DNS server, which we can ping on IP, but not on hostname, we can however, nslookup the IP on the hostname, which makes no sense
[10:17] <sresu> amichair: But, what about mozilla?
[10:17] <Ced_> Even Reverse lookup works
[10:18] <amichair> sresu: I can't tell how it looked like before the change in your case, so hard to say
[10:18] <sresu> Hold on.. I'll link the image...amichair
[10:21] <sresu> Ced_: Have you tried asking in #ubuntu
[10:22] <Ced_> Yes, everyone ignored me :P
[10:22] <Ced_> Maybe i should ask in #bind, if there is any, or something similar
[10:23] <Ced_> It's a really odd problem
[10:24] <Ced_> ping <IP_ADDRESS> works, ping dc01.combi.local fails, nslookup dc01.combi.local works, nslookup <IP_ADDRESS> works (reverse lookup)
[10:27] <Ced_> Does anyone know a channel i should try?
[10:28] <sresu> Ced_: erhaps #networking
[10:28] <sresu> Perhaps*
[10:28] <Ced_> I'll try
[10:28] <Ced_> thanks
[10:33] <sresu> amichair: No, its fine.. Thanks :)
[10:35] <amichair> sresu: :)
[10:36] <noaXess> hello all
[10:37] <noaXess> have a problem on a customers kubuntu 10.04... if he want delete/ move a file to trash, dolphin shows a information that trash is full.. but trash isn't full.. have also checked in ~/.local/share/Trash/files and ~/.local/share/trash/info.. they are empty..
[10:37] <noaXess> any idea?..
[10:38] <amichair> noaXess: any chance the disk/partition/quota is full? or it actually says there's something in the trash?
[10:39] <moetunes> noaXess:  or is he using the root account
[10:39] <noaXess> amichair: no.. 1TB and about 102GB used.. so enough free space
[10:39] <noaXess> not using root acount..
[10:40] <noaXess> of i crate a file over konsole with vi test.txt, write in some text, save it and then delete it, no problem
[10:40] <noaXess> just inside kde
[10:40] <amichair> noaXess: deleting in konsole doesn't go through Trash, as far as I know
[10:41] <amichair> noaXess: can you post the exact error you're seeing?
[10:41] <noaXess> amichair: it's in german.. wait..
[10:42] <noaXess> thunderbird has also problems to write files to the disc.. hm..
[10:43] <noaXess> but that can be another problem
[10:43] <amichair> noaXess: maybe u can start by running a disk check (fsck)
[10:44] <noaXess> ok, message in german: Der Mülleimer hat seine maximale Grösse erreicht. Bitte leeren Sie ihn von Hand... thats says that the trash's size is a max and i need to empty it manually.. but the trash is empty
[10:44] <moetunes> it might be permissions on the home dir or ownership
[10:44] <noaXess> if i delete a file directly with shift+del.. that works
[10:44] <noaXess> hm...
[10:44] <noaXess> let me check
[10:45] <noaXess> creating files in home works fine
[10:45] <noaXess> just move them to trash
[10:46] <amichair> noaXess: another possibility, go to dolphin's Trash settings, make sure the limits are ok
[10:46] <noaXess> amichair: allready checked
[10:46] <noaXess> 1% of 1TB should be enough
[10:47] <noaXess> permissions on trash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524361/
[10:48] <noaXess> found a solution.. have deleted the content of ~/.local/share/Trash/ and recreated ~/.local/share/Trash/files and ~/.local/share/Trash/info.. now moving to trash works
[10:49] <amichair> noaXess: good solution!
[10:50] <noaXess> permissions after: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524363/
[10:52] <amichair> noaXess: I don't have the additional permissions here... but if it fixed the problem, that's good enough :-)
[10:52] <noaXess> amichair: yeah.. now fix the problem with thunderbird.. on fetching mails, i get a write permission error.. seams that there are alos permission problems in tb's profile fodler
[10:52] <noaXess> fodler
[10:52] <yuvankumar> hi, just a newbie question...what is the best email client for a dual-boot environment? (windows7 and kubuntu 10.10)
[10:52] <noaXess> aaaa.. folder.. sorry
[10:53] <noaXess> thunderbird
[10:54] <amichair> yuvankumar: I used Thunderbird on windows back in the day, and now use it in kubuntu. I never used them both concurrently to access the same local mailbox, though. if you're using e.g. IMAP, it should be ok.
[10:55] <amichair> noaXess: maybe a rogue recursive chmod at some point caused the problems?
[10:55] <yuvankumar> thx guys, yeah...was wondering how i could set it up so that it can be shared from linux and windows
[10:55] <noaXess> amichair: don't know... the customer is not familiar with this.. hm..
[10:56] <noaXess> yuvankumar: don't do that.. cuase different filesystem types and permissions...
[10:56] <amichair> yuvankumar: depends on how your mail is set up. IMAP or gmail or similar mail configuration which can leave the mail on the server, is probably the easiest and safest solution
[10:57] <amichair> yuvankumar: although theoretically it should be possible to put a local mail directory on the windows/NTFS side and access it also from linux... but you should make a backup and/or test it a bunch to make sure it's a stable configuration
[10:58] <noaXess> amichair: thunderbird solved.. was a mail-server imap problem.. mailbox quota ;).. informed the customer..
[10:58] <yuvankumar> i'll setup thunderbird on kubuntu first, and see if i can get it to work from windows
[10:58] <yuvankumar> thx for the advice guys!
[10:58] <amichair> noaXess: that's 2 for 2 for you! ;-)
[10:59] <amichair> yuvankumar: windows will not be able to access ext2/3/4 partitions (most common in linux) out of the box
[11:00] <amichair> yuvankumar: but k/ubuntu can access NTFS with no problem
[11:00] <yuvankumar> thats true, forgot abt that
[11:00] <amichair> so it's simpler to put shared stuff on the NTFS side
[11:00] <noaXess> amichair: yeah.. bbs.. lunchtime..
[11:01] <amichair> yuvankumar: (but you can still start playing around on the linux side, just configure the data files to be on the NTFS drive somewhere)
[11:03] <yuvankumar> can i use dolphin to acccess the ntfs files? coz i didn't allocate any ntfs space for kubuntu during installation
[11:03] <yuvankumar> i mean, can i access my windows files using dolphin?
[11:05] <yuvankumar> cool!  just found out i can
[11:05] <amichair> yuvankumar: yes, I have some NTFS partitions and they show up in dolphin (and the rest of the system) as just another device

[12:39] <elimental> windows doesnt have a bootloader
[12:39] <elimental> they dont share

[12:41] <murali> so there is no other chance. right?
[12:41] <murali> I have a single hard disk n i have installed xp n kubuntu in it

[12:44] <moetunes> you need to select the other disk as the boot disk in the bios
[12:50] <LjL> uh, where are the kubuntu iso downloads? i want the metalink, but the download page only has torrents
[12:51] <Peace-> LjL: mm?
[12:51] <Pici> LjL: Metalink?
[12:51] <Peace-> just a moment
[12:51] <Peace-> LjL: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download#download-block
[12:52] <LjL> Pici: a metalink is something that includes information about servers (and torrents) from which to download something. it can be used by software such as "aria2" (which i recommend, always wondered why it wasn't being given in #ubuntu-release-party). http://metalinker.org - metalinks are always on releases.ubuntu.com
[12:54] <LjL> Peace-: because there is that "Donload now" button instead of a plain link, i can't find out where the file is actually located, and reach for the metalink in the directory (if there is one) :\
[12:56] <Pici> LjL: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/10.10/
[12:56] <LjL> Pici: thanks :)

[13:44] <azure_> HI , does anyone know how to fix the graphic performance on KDE 4.5 (kubuntu 10.10) for Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
[13:45] <ChrisBuchholz> Hey guys. I wonder if it is possible to change the blue glow/shadow around windows to maybe a dark-grey or black color?
[13:45] <Peace-> ChrisBuchholz: i guess yea
[13:46] <Peace-> systemsettings
[13:46] <ChrisBuchholz> Peace-: yeah?
[13:46] <azure_> any ideas ?
[13:46] <Peace-> if it takes few i will give some tip ChrisBuchholz
[13:46] <ChrisBuchholz> Peace-: okay, i guess :P
[13:47] <Peace-> ChrisBuchholz: ok system settings
[13:47] <Peace-> desktop
[13:47] <Peace-> go in effetcs
[13:47] <ChrisBuchholz> yeah
[13:47] <Peace-> use the filter

[13:51] <azure_> anyone having problems with KDE 4.5.1 and intel graphics ?
[13:51] <Peace-> azure_: lucid?
[13:51] <azure_> 10.10
[13:51] <Peace-> azure_: ok like it said in the release note
[13:52] <Peace-> some intel cards are bad with 10.10
[13:52] <Peace-> the driver is bad
[13:52] <Peace-> it's not kde fault it's a kernel fault
[13:52] <azure_> Peace-: is there any workaround ?
[13:52] <Peace-> azure_: i guess not ,
[13:53] <Peace-> azure_: you can add ppa repository for kernel
[13:53] <Peace-> and try the new one
[13:53] <Peace-> but it's not a nice idea expecially if you are not expert
[13:53] <Peace-> i mean if doens't work you have to select the older kernel on grub menu
[13:53] <Peace-> and remove the new one ...
[13:53] <azure_> Peace-: that is ok
[13:53] <Peace-> if you are an expert user i can telle you how to do
[13:53] <azure_> Peace-: any idea for the PPA adress ?
[13:54] <Peace-> of course i have
[13:54]  * Peace- searchin on his blog
[13:54] <Peace-> wait
[13:54] <BluesKaj> azure_, which ati card?
[13:54] <azure_> BluesKaj:  it is not ATI
[13:54] <azure_> BluesKaj:  it is intel integrated BGA
[13:54] <azure_> *VGA
[13:55] <BluesKaj> ok srry..then you do have a problem, azure_
[13:55] <Peace-> BluesKaj: i got the same problems on 10.10 wiht intel :(
[13:55] <azure_> BluesKaj:  acording to the lspci is : Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
[13:57] <BluesKaj> azure_, yes I believe you , intel has become a prob on 10.04 & 10.10  , some intel graphics cards are aproblem , especially mobiles

[13:58] <Peace-> azure_: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu maverick main

[13:59] <Peace-> because i can do because i know how to get back ...
[14:01] <rek> hi what should i put in etc resolv.conf ? i need to set up a client and a server
[14:04] <Peace-> rek: have you a router?
[14:04] <Peace-> i guess no but...
[14:04] <Peace-> xD
[14:04] <rek> yes my pc must be a router
[14:05] <moetunes> reolv.conf just gets the nameserver in it afaik
[14:05] <Peace-> rek: so you can set dns on the router
[14:05] <Peace-> rek: like i did
[14:06] <BluesKaj> rek , all you need there , nameserver , domain gateway and search gateway, which basic router/modem settings , for ssh or other means to connec to pcs on you lan
[14:07] <rek> sorry...
[14:07]  * BluesKaj 's KB is acting up again
[14:08] <rek> so, my server has that settings because the wifi works but my client still doesn't have a connection
[14:08] <rek> so what should i put in my etc resolv.conf of my client? exactly...
[14:09] <BluesKaj> rek, why do think you need to edit resolv.conf ?
[14:09] <rek> because i read it in a guide to do a point to point connection
[14:10] <rek> in my client i read nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> is this good ?
[14:10] <BluesKaj> rek, pls expalin what kind of connection you are trying to make ..I'm confused
[14:11] <rek> BluesKaj: my client is connected to my pc with an ethernet cable... i want the internet in my client
[14:11] <rek> the guide says to do : echo nameserver ip_dns_provider >> /etc/resolv.conf
[14:11] <BluesKaj> client ?
[14:12] <rek> yes i want my pc to be a router...
[14:12] <moetunes> it's internet connection sharing in other words
[14:13] <moetunes> !ics
[14:15] <BluesKaj> rek you should always explain what nyou are trying to do  before asking questions ..otherwise you're wasting everyone's time ...we don't read minds , but we can help if we know your situation
[14:15] <rek> i tried my best
[14:19] <rek> Unless your ICS gateway can also perform DNS, you must manually configure the client with your ISP DNS servers. If you do not know your ISP's DNS servers, you can use OpenDNS servers instead.      look
[14:22] <seawing> hello, I have followed the advice of <peace> and reinstalled KDE to solve the problems of very slow performance with a fresh 10.10 install.  after the KDE reinstall, I am still experiencing the same issues.  are there any other suggestions or is it time to burn another ISO and start over again?  Sorry if theis is a duplicate post, I can't tell if the first one posted.
[14:26] <moetunes> seawing:  are you using a nvidia graphics card?
[14:27] <seawing> I think so
[14:28] <BluesKaj> seawing, in the terminal , lspci | grep VGA
[14:28] <moetunes> seawing:  in konsole   lspci | grep -i vga   will tell
[14:28] <BluesKaj> tell us the output
[14:29] <schattentanz> .
[14:30] <seawing> OK, I will, things are going pretty slow, sorry for the delay
[14:32] <seawing> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[14:33] <seawing> so I guess--no
[14:35] <moetunes> seawing:  I remember something about that chip having issues - I think it needs a kernel boot option - one min
[14:39] <seawing> I'll be right back
[14:40] <moetunes> seawing:  this - http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/KDE/2010-10/msg00047.html - gives a good explanation of your issue - it is the driver for the intel graphics at fault
[14:41] <moetunes> seawing:  seems the options you have are to get a newer kernel and hope the driver is improved or use the vesa driver
[14:46] <seawing> thank you for the advice.  Every thing was fine before I upgraded.
[14:46] <g_> hmm issues with intel graphics... using ferdora 13 i was able to use only vesa drivers with intel 4500
[14:47] <g_> with kubuntu, and ubuntu 10.10, no broblems
[14:47] <moetunes> it's only with certain intel chips
[14:48] <moetunes> my 945G works fine - the 945GM has issues
[14:58] <seawing> The thing is that if I turn off desktop effects, it sppeds things up a bit, but nothing like I had before
[14:59] <seawing> is the vesa driver in the repositories?
[15:06] <moetunes> seawing:  you already have it installed - it is the fallback driver
[15:12] <seawing> I see that now.  It doesn't seem like a good option.  What repository do I use to get a newer kernel?
[15:13] <moetunes> I think there is a ppa for it on launchpad or you could go to kernel.org
[15:19] <BluesKaj> seawing, it's the kernel source/ppa  that you need , not a newer kernel , you probly already have the newest kernel installed
[15:20] <seawing> Hmmm, what should i do then, Go back to an older version of Kubuntu or abandon it all together?
[15:21] <seawing> oh wait, what do you mean kernel sourse/ppa?
[15:22] <rek> BluesKaj: i followed the guide
[15:23] <rek> same problem....what can i type into resolv.conf of my client
[15:24] <BluesKaj> rek probly a nameserver like google dns , <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> as your DNS servers

[22:24] <HelpNeed> Uhmm :P what's that?
[22:24] <hellslinger> ahh...
[22:24] <Bloom> eeii
[22:24] <HelpNeed> i used flashboot to create the boot USB
[22:24] <Bloom> helpneed
[22:25] <HelpNeed> FlashBoot
[22:25] <Bloom> can u tell me ur IP¿?
[22:25] <HelpNeed> Why do you need that?
[22:25] <Bloom> because i want it please
[22:25] <Bloom> hahah
[22:25] <Bloom> bye!
[22:25] <HelpNeed> Bye byeõ
[22:27] <hellslinger> HelpNeed: I have never used flashboot before
[22:27] <hellslinger> but I'd be willing to bet it isn't creating the USB boot correctly
[22:27] <hellslinger> did you create your boot drive in windows?
[22:27] <HelpNeed> Yes
[22:27] <hellslinger> ok
[22:27] <hellslinger> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe
[22:27] <hellslinger> this is what ubuntu is recommneding to use to create your ISO
[22:28] <hellslinger> from windows
[22:28] <HelpNeed> Can't open that..
[22:28] <HelpNeed> Nvm got it
[22:28] <hellslinger> oh wow, I can't either!
[22:28] <HelpNeed> it was updates
[22:29] <HelpNeed> updated*
[22:29] <hellslinger> this is where I got that
[22:29] <hellslinger> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[22:29] <hellslinger> I believe this will work just fine with the kubuntu ISO as well as the ubuntu ISO
[22:29] <hellslinger> I've had no trouble with either one
[22:30] <HelpNeed> Great, i'll try it
[22:30] <hellslinger> if you still get a boot error after this, I would download a different ISO or redownload the one you have
[22:31] <HelpNeed> Yeah, it's my 3rd download on a massive 100 kb/s dl speed T_T
[22:31] <hellslinger> md5 integrity check might help determine if you have a bad download
[22:31] <hellslinger> heh
[22:32] <HelpNeed> First time playing with linux, is it hard?
[22:32] <hellslinger> depends what you want to do with it
[22:32] <hellslinger> casual usage is very easy
[22:32] <HelpNeed> Not much, it's for my dad really, i guess just browsing the web, got to install some wireless drivers i guess?
[22:33] <hellslinger> you probably wont' even have to do that
[22:33] <hellslinger> ubuntu has that stuff already ;)
[22:33] <HelpNeed> Sweet! That's great
[22:33] <hellslinger> yeah if it is for web/music/camera/chat
[22:33] <wilhart> i have 2 displays i want to disable display 2 from alt-tab
[22:33] <hellslinger> he'll probably love it
[22:33] <hellslinger> and never get virus
[22:33] <HelpNeed> :D :)
[22:34] <hellslinger> I've used linux for many years, and I'm installing kubuntu-netbook on my Dad's netbook as a win 7 starter replacement
[22:34] <hellslinger> so far it is going well
[22:34] <hellslinger> the wireless worked right away, the camera works too! (big pleasant surprise there)
[22:34] <HelpNeed> What's the main difference between kubuntu vs win 7?
[22:35] <hellslinger> that's a hard one to answer
[22:35] <HelpNeed> Do you really need to use commands sometimes?
[22:35] <hellslinger> it's completely different, like as different as a mac, however there are features that are familiar to Windows users
[22:35] <KukuNut> HelpNeed: it's free as in free beer
[22:36] <HelpNeed> Not all linuxes are free though?
[22:36] <hellslinger> kubuntu with KDE desktop is going to have a start menu like the one in Vista and 7 where you can search and run commands
[22:36] <KukuNut> HelpNeed: are you asking about Kubuntu right?
[22:36] <HelpNeed> You never really run commands in windows
[22:36] <HelpNeed> Yes.
[22:36] <KukuNut> there you go
[22:36] <HelpNeed> That is free (Y). Trying to find some free beer however :PO
[22:37] <hellslinger> you can run both in windows from teh start menu in Vista and 7
[22:37] <hellslinger> CLI or search terms
[22:37] <HelpNeed> AWWWW
[22:37] <HelpNeed> SWEET!
[22:37] <hellslinger> same with Kubuntu
[22:37] <HelpNeed> It works :D:D
[22:37] <HelpNeed> Woo
[22:37] <FloodBotK2> HelpNeed: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:37] <HelpNeed> Well
[22:38] <HelpNeed> I got the blue screen anyways
[22:38] <hellslinger> it'll work...
[22:38] <hellslinger> what kind of PC are you running it on?
[22:38] <HelpNeed> Uhh some oldish Asus EEE
[22:38] <HelpNeed> First gen i think
[22:39] <HelpNeed> It totally went haywire
[22:39] <hellslinger> are you trying netbook or desktop?
[22:39] <HelpNeed> netbook
[22:39] <HelpNeed> Then i should have gotten uhh Xandros?
[22:39] <hellslinger> no
[22:40] <hellslinger> kubuntu-netbook might be perfect
[22:40] <hellslinger> it's all a matter of preference
[22:40] <hellslinger> I use KDE on my desktop, but the Ubuntu unity interface for ubuntu-netbook (not kubuntu) I think is wonderful
[22:41] <HelpNeed> What differs in ubuntu and kubuntu?
[22:42] <HelpNeed> ubuntu doesn't have the windows like layout?
[22:42] <hellslinger> ubuntu regular uses Gnome
[22:42] <hellslinger> kubuntu uses KDE
[22:42] <hellslinger> now
[22:42] <hellslinger> there is netbook varieties of each
[22:42] <hellslinger> which use different netbook interfaces based upon the respective desktop environments
[22:43] <hellslinger> so kubuntu netbook uses a netbook (lightweight, simplified) version of kde
[22:43] <hellslinger> and same is true with ubuntu netbook
[22:43] <hellslinger> ubuntu netbook's interface is called unity
[22:44] <hellslinger> the wireless network tool for KDE is a lot worse than the one for Gnome, IMO
[22:44] <hellslinger> they're both great netbook interfaces though
[22:44] <hellslinger> try them both if you have the time
[22:44] <wilhart> i have 2 displays i want to disable display 2 from alt-tab
[22:47] <HelpNeed> Do you ever need to use windows?
[22:48] <hellslinger> that depends really
[22:49] <hellslinger> if you just need a web browser, probably not
[22:49] <HelpNeed> Yeah, but for office?
[22:49] <hellslinger> some people complain of incompatibilities between word documents and openoffice
[22:49] <hellslinger> but I've never encountered that
[22:49] <hellslinger> I'm a huge nerd though, so small obstacles like that don't sway me hehe
[22:50] <HelpNeed> You can run a windows version in a separate window inside ubuntu, right?
[22:50] <hellslinger> yes
[22:50] <HelpNeed> :D:D
[22:50] <hellslinger> I wouldn't recommend that on a netbook though
[22:50] <hellslinger> not enough horsepower
[22:50] <hellslinger> it can be done... it would be really slow though
[22:50] <HelpNeed> Well yeah, but if i'd install it on my own laptop, i think it would be able to take it
[22:51] <hellslinger> yeah, I've got VirtualBox running windows XP for my quicken software
[22:51] <HelpNeed> Don't know if i'm ready to leave the comfort of Windows yet :P
[22:51] <hellslinger> some linux people get all that stuff working through Wine, but that is more trouble than it is worth
[22:51] <hellslinger> in my opinion, of course
[22:51] <hellslinger> you'll find a lot of very strong opinions amongst linux users, so beware!
[22:52] <HelpNeed> Yeah, most people lured into it's web do promote it. Doesn't really happen to windows :D
[22:52] <HelpNeed> its*
[22:52] <hellslinger> until recently, you had to be somewhat of a fanatic to even give linux a try
[22:53] <hellslinger> ubuntu has done an absolutely tremendous job in making it more accessible to average users
[22:53] <HelpNeed> Was it like the early Sun computers? where just to open notepad you had to type a command line?
[22:53] <hellslinger> linux has never been so easy...
[22:53] <HelpNeed> And to save you had to do the same?
[22:53] <hellslinger> that's probably true for all unixes
[22:54] <hellslinger> Sun included
[22:54] <hellslinger> yeah, even after things like CDE and Motif came out... most things were still done through command line
[22:54] <HelpNeed> It is faster if u know what you're doing
[22:54] <hellslinger> I still use vi/vim for text editing, which is archaic compared to modern editors
[22:55] <hellslinger> yeah, totally
[22:55] <hellslinger> I just got so used to it that there's no reason to quit using it
[22:56] <HelpNeed> How did you start using linux systems then?
[22:56] <hellslinger> I got a job when I was a teenager as a sysadmin for unix and windows systems
[22:57] <wilhart> i have 2 displays i want to disable display 2 from alt-tab
[22:57] <wilhart> just to alt-tab display 1
[23:00] <HelpNeed> Hehe here goes the first restart, hopefully many to come :)
[23:02] <hellslinger> best of luck
[23:02] <HelpNeed> Thanks, you we're great help, thanks for listening and talking me through it. +rep if i could give it :D
[23:03] <HelpNeed> were*
[23:03] <hellslinger> haha no problem
[23:15] <HelpNeed> Can't find any wireless connections :/ Might be back tomorrow with new demands :D Calling it a night for today though. Big thanks to hellslinger :)
[23:28] <Kalidarn> I noticed when I installed Kubuntu 10.10 that gpg-gent is not running
[23:28] <Kalidarn> what's the recommended way of starting this now so that kmail can do gpg signing
[23:34] <wilhart> i have 2 displays i want to disable display 2 from alt-tab
[23:34] <wilhart> just to alt-tab display 1
[23:36] <rork> wilhart: display as in monitor or as in desktop?
[23:40] <rork> wilhart: gtg, I think System Settings > Window Behaviour > Navigate Through Windows > Main tab > List Windows drop down menu > Set to Current Desktop is what you need
[23:42] <wilhart> rork ... ok i'm gonna try that
[23:44] <wilhart> rork there?

[06:11] <Kilos> wat het dit gedoen
[06:15] <bduk> Good morning everyone
[06:28] <Kilos> eish 8ta throttled today 12.1 kB/s
[06:28] <Kilos> sigh
[06:49] <Kilos> morning liamT
[06:49] <liamT> morning everyone
[06:50] <mazal> Kilos, didn't help , still the same :(
[06:50] <Kilos> you have corrupted it with something you installed from unfriendly sites
[06:51] <Kilos> what did you install just before it started
[06:52] <Kilos> im doing a very slow 35m upgrade 8850 B/s
[06:55] <Kilos> maybe its za.archive.ubuntu.com thats a bit sick
[06:56] <Kilos> Symmetria, hurry with that fast mirror
[06:56] <Kilos> i would hate to have to download an iso at this speed
[06:58] <Kilos> 14.8 kB/s now
[06:58] <Kilos> gprs speed
[06:59] <liamT> za.archive has been out of kilter recently
[06:59] <liamT> i had to update my keys and even then it didn't work well
[06:59] <liamT> i changed to main server and everything was fine again
[06:59] <Kilos> very painful
[07:00] <Kilos> main server is in the states?
[07:02] <Kilos> i try use the local ones
[07:02] <Kilos> uct or saix maybe
[07:02] <Kilos> even the lesotho one
[07:02] <liamT> i'm not sure where the main one is, i though it was UK
[07:03] <Kilos> oh ya maybe
[07:03] <Squirm> morning
[07:04] <liamT> i find that the local servers often take a while to sync to the main server, and service is degraded while they are
[07:10] <Kilos> hi Squirm
[07:10] <Kilos> ah
[07:13] <Kilos> doesnt the syncing to all the other servers slow down the main server too?
[07:14] <liamT> i suppose it would, but perhaps they have a really fat pipe, or perhaps the local servers sync from each other, i
[07:14] <liamT> 'm not sure
[07:37] <Kilos> ai!  Fetched 37,1 MB in 1h 0min 27s (10,2 kB/s)
[07:42] <liamT> bring on the image diff updates !
[08:04] <Kilos> some guy at the freestate varsity said he would run a deb-delta server for us but didnt get further than that
[08:09] <Kilos> too much work involved i think
[08:17] <mazal> Kilos, I didn't install anything , just normal updates
[08:18] <Kilos> sjoe

[02:21] <friti> So i have a problem. I went to launchpad yesterday for the first time in years, thinking i'd do some translating of kubuntu-docs, just to find out that kubuntu-docs have been removed from LP. Aparrently, the official(?) documentation is now at wiki.kubuntu.org. My question is now,how do we i18n the docs?
[02:44] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[03:07] <spyke_> Hi
[03:08] <spyke_> Is anybody at home?
[03:08] <spyke_> ..
[03:34] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[04:15] <blackkde1> new light display manager user account found  in kubuntu 13.10 fresh install login screen . any help?
[04:47] <valorie> friti: that's a real problem
[04:48] <valorie> eventually we hope to have a small set of docs in docbook, which could be translated into everything
[04:48] <valorie> and which would rarely change
[04:49] <valorie> our former doc folks left or got busy with other stuff, and us newbies are doing the best we can
[04:49] <valorie> not quite good enough, so far
[06:37] <Guest3903> someone around who could help me with a ubiquity issue?
[06:37] <Guest3903> this is the issue i'm facing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1238446
[07:10] <valorie> Guest3903: have you asked in #ubuntu+1 ?
[07:10] <valorie> that chan is for all flavors of Ubuntu
[07:10] <valorie> Saucy
[07:12] <Guest3903> valorie: already tried there, yes
[07:13] <valorie> that's where the specialists are, and those who can help
[07:14] <valorie> if they aren't answering, they are probably asleep/busy with other tasks
[07:14] <valorie> did you file the bug?
[07:14] <valorie> if not, did you add your experience to it?
[07:15] <Guest3903> yes, i did file a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1238446
[07:16] <valorie> ah, I see from #kubuntu-devel that you did file it
[07:16] <valorie> please stick to the proper chan and don't cross-post
[07:17] <valorie> and the proper chan is +1
[07:19] <valorie> that said, you might add that you have tested both the beta and the daily
[07:19]  * valorie isn't in +1
[07:20] <Guest3903> valorie: i generally wouldn't cross-post, but i thought it might be an important bug, being this close to the release
[07:20] <Guest3903> so i wanted to provide all the info i could get
[07:20] <Guest3903> valorie: if nothing else, at least get all info in
[07:21] <valorie> oh, I agree
[07:21] <valorie> however, cross-posting 1. doesn't get you the info any faster and 2. sets a bad example
[07:22] <valorie> that said, thanks for caring enough to post a bug with extensive information
[07:22] <valorie> as you say, it's close to the deadline, and this needs fixing
[07:23] <Guest3903> valorie: indeed: i have a feeling i can resolve the problem by clearing out all my partitions, but i thought i'd rather file the bug so that if it's a ubiquity problem, it can be fixed
[07:24] <valorie> clearing out all your partitions sounds rather extreme
[07:25] <Guest3903> wouldn't hurt, i was planning to use that installer option anyway.
[09:47] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:57] <BluesKaj_> Hey folks
[11:50] <user_> 1
[11:50] <user_> мудашлепы!!! есть кто на русском?

[13:42] <zhick> i need help debugging a problem. i just upgraded my 13.11 install and afterwards did an autoremove to remove old kernels n stuff. now my networkmanagement-plasmoid wont show.
[13:44] <zhick> when i try to add a new widget it also does not appear in the list
[13:45] <zhick> plasma-nm and plasma-widget-networkmanager are both installed though
[13:45] <BluesKaj> zhick. that's a bug in 13.10 , update and upgrade and the plasma-nm should reinstall , also 13.10 queries should done in #ubuintu+1
[13:47] <zhick> BluesKaj, sorry didnt know about #ubuntu+1. thanks for solving my problem :)
[13:47] <BluesKaj> zhick. np , just reinstall the NM widget , it should be there
[13:48] <BluesKaj>  type net in widget search
[13:49] <BluesKaj> zhick.^
[13:49] <zhick> problem is ive got no network on the machine due to the networkmanagement widget missing.
[13:49] <Zepo> Hey Guys, I have a problem with fish ( the ssh protocoll ) I create a config file and am able to connect via ssh, but not with fish , it just say "Could not connect"
[13:50] <BluesKaj> zhick. , not connected to the internet ?
[13:50] <zhick> but ill figure something out :)
[13:50] <BluesKaj> zhick. open a terminal and run sudo dhclient
[13:51] <zhick> BluesKaj, ive only got wireless available
[13:51] <BluesKaj> for ethernet
[13:51] <zhick> ill just download the package on this machine and transfer it via usb-stick

[14:06] <BluesKaj> zhick. good to hear :)
[14:10] <Zepo> So noone has a quick solution for me ? :(
[14:13] <BluesKaj> Zepo. try smb or samba
[14:32] <dagle> I want to do an uefi install. Do I need to do anything execpt creating an efi partion and making it bootable and choosing to install the bootloader to that partion?
[14:33] <dagle> Uefi can boot the bootloader but the bootloader drops into a shell.
[16:10] <tatie> why the Firefox doesn't offer "Open file with", but  only "save" or "cancel" when clicking on file link?
[16:17] <LinuxDad> tatie:  are you right clicking or just clicking ?
[16:19] <tatie> clicking
[16:19] <tatie> file is PDF
[16:20] <tatie> same hapens with right click & open in new tab
[17:26] <alvin> Is Kubuntu Active only 32-bit?
[17:27] <Shiva> alvin, as far as I know 32 bit is recommended , but 64 bit should work fine as well :)
[17:28] <alvin> The machine has 8 GB ram, hence the question. But where do I find the images? Or can I start with Kubuntu and then add plasma-active?
[17:30] <Shiva> http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download-lts#download-block
[17:30] <alvin> That's not only 1.5 years old, it's also only 32-bit
[17:31] <keithzg> Is there any effect or program out there for using a key-combo to "ping" a mouse? My officemate often can't find his mouse, heh, and I *swear* I remember that being a thing.
[17:31]  * alvin was looking here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-active/daily-live/current/
[17:31] <alvin> keithzg: It's in system settings -> desktop effects somewhere
[17:31] <keithzg> alvin: Yeah, I'm looking there and I don't see it...
[17:32] <keithzg> aha, I'm just blind, it's "Track Mouse"
[17:32] <alvin> Yes :-)
[17:33] <Shiva> alvin, you can get  at regular download section download  button of link i pasted
[17:33] <alvin> Shiva: I think you misunderstodd. I'm looking for a 64-bit version of Kubuntu Active
[17:33] <Shiva> also since its LTS  version you could get long term support as well
[17:33] <alvin> Not just Kubuntu
[17:34] <Shiva> I m sorry, I thought its just kubuntu
[17:34] <alvin> Well, I don't believe in Long Term Support. There are quite a lot more bug fixes in the Kubuntu PPA's within monthly KDE updates, than in an LTS. An LTS just supports your bugs longer. Not what I want.
[17:35] <alvin> The KDE version in Saucey (not Saucy itself) is far more stable than the KDE version in 12.04
[17:35] <Shiva> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-active/releases/13.04/release/
[17:36] <alvin> The Ubuntu layer has regressions unfortunately
[17:36] <Shiva> might be helpful, but though cant find 64 bit on quick look
[17:36] <dagle> Any body have any clue why my uefi system wont boot by default (I'm pretty sure I could fix it but it's not my computer)?
[17:36] <alvin> Yes :-( Ans as you can see, that's 64-bit only
[17:37] <alvin> dagle: Good question. I'll wait a year and then try UEFI. It's probably possible, but not easy.
[17:37] <dagle> alvin: So the installer can't do uefi by default?
[17:37] <dagle> I have used uefi for almost 2 years now on linux...
[17:38] <alvin> I didn't say that. I believe it can, but maybe not on every motherboard yet. I've used it in the past. By accident. It was hard to fix when things started to go wrong.
[17:38] <dagle> And, sure I could fix it but I don't want to maintain it on his computer and I want him to be able to reinstall if he needs to.
[17:39] <alvin> I've read somethig about setting the GPT volumes bootable, but I'm really not sure about that one.
[17:40] <dagle> I created an efi partion, set it to bootable and installed grub to that partion.
[17:40] <dagle> So far so good, grub starts but it can't find the install and I don't know why.
[17:40] <dagle> Should be pretty easy to fix with a chroot etc but it still bothers me.
[17:46] <dagle> So, what does the efi options in the kubuntu installer do? Or is it just a bug?
[17:49] <keithzg> dagle: worked fine for me when I installed on my current desktop at work, although that was 12.10 IIRC.
[17:50] <alvin> A friend of mine reently tried to install using UEFI, but he didn't succeed
[17:50] <keithzg> I've failed once, because I dumbly forgot to boot the DVD in UEFI mode. But other than that every time I've installed has been peachy keen.
[17:50] <dagle> keithzg: And did you do anything more than I did? Because grub boots just fine but drops to a shell... smells like kubuntu is doing something wrong.
[17:53] <keithzg> dagle: I certainly didn't do anything fancy; just made an EFI partition and a partition for everything else. Even used BTRFS as my root just to be cowboy ;)
[18:03] <mohidin_> tes
[18:03] <keithzg> t?
[18:04] <mohidin_> hallo
[18:04] <mohidin_> i am from indonesia
[18:04] <mohidin_> i use ubuntu 13.04
[18:08] <BluesKaj> mo olk , do you have a question ?
[18:09] <BluesKaj> mohidin_.^
[18:09] <mohidin_> yes.. i have question..
[18:10] <mohidin_> if i want application like internet download manager in ubuntu....is there any app it is same with IDM ?
[18:12] <BluesKaj> mohidin_. try kget
[18:13] <BluesKaj> !kget  | mohidin_
[18:13] <BluesKaj> !info kget
[18:13] <mohidin_> in software center ?? is there ?
[18:13] <BluesKaj> yes
[18:14] <BluesKaj>  or sudo apt-get install kget in the konsole , mohidin_
[18:14] <mohidin_> oke..i will try it...thanks.
[18:15] <BluesKaj> mohidin_. for torrents use ktorrent
[18:16] <BluesKaj> mohidin_. but kger works too
[18:16] <BluesKaj> get
[18:16] <mohidin_> oke ....i will test it as soon i download kget.
[18:18] <mohidin_> hallo
[18:18] <mohidin_> i want to ask again
[18:18] <mohidin_> if i want to connect kget with mozila ??
[18:24] <BluesKaj> mohidin_. use ktorrent with FF/mozilla
[18:24] <BluesKaj> for torrent files
[18:25] <BluesKaj> for other types of files i use wget in the terminal , youtube-dl for youtube flash files
[18:27] <mohidin_> it is kget can download from youtube ?
[18:28] <mohidin_> can you mention me ?
[18:30] <rickyrayjay> kubuntu...kinda like. i know it has the "auto detect" where it knows if its a netbook or desktop/laptop based on resolution. is there a way i can have my netbook use the desktop version?
[18:38] <BluesKaj_> FF froze my desktop , some kind of glitch and it wouldn't shutdown so I had to REISUB with alt + prtscrn ..running latest daily 13.10
[18:42] <xxx> Hello all, may I beg for help? :)
[18:43] <BluesKaj_> no need to beg , xxx , just ask
[18:43] <xxx> Thanks. :)
[18:45] <xxx> anyway, I tried installing Kubuntu on manual partitioning, I made / partition and swap as well home partition. Installation starts, I set up my options and at the end I get this message: http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=8_error.png
[18:45] <xxx> Could you help me with this? I have preinstalled Win8
[18:45] <lordievader> xxx: Is it a UEFI computer?
[18:45] <xxx> Unfortunately yes.
[18:46] <lordievader> xxx: Ugh, I have heard of many troubles with UEFI, hopefully for you this guide gets you through the maze: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[18:46] <xxx> I think it might be connected with Ubuntu being previously installed. I think I managed to clear it out of the PC, but in boot options in BIOS, I still have Ubuntu boot option.
[18:47] <xxx> Yes, I know about that tutorial, but I am a Linux beginner and find it not very understandable.
[18:48] <xxx> Problem is, as Win8 was preinstalled I have 5 partitions(C: and D: normal , but 3 hidden) and I can't make it out, if they were installed by Win or one is left from the Ubuntu installation.
[18:49] <xxx> I think that, removing the left Ubuntu partition, would solve the problem, but I can't decide if there is a Ubuntu partiotion or no.
[18:50] <lordievader> xxx: You could mount them and see what is on there.
[18:51] <xxx> Probably need to do that in Kubuntu?
[18:52] <lordievader> xxx: Yes, probably. Then you can mount them too if they are of the ext family.
[18:52] <lordievader> too if = even if
[18:53] <xxx> Will I be able to mount even the Win8 hidden partitions?
[18:53] <xxx> in Kubuntu?
[18:53] <lordievader> xxx: Yes you can mount ntfs partitions in (K)Ubuntu.
[18:54] <xxx> Ok, thanks a lot. I will try this way to find out. Cheers. :)
[18:54] <lordievader> Good luck!
[19:00] <sunny_le> isn't there ubuntu software center in kubuntu ?
[19:01] <BluesKaj_> yes it's called muon
[19:01] <BluesKaj_> and muon software center
[19:02] <BluesKaj_> sunny_le.^
[19:02] <sunny_le> BluesKaj_, yeah but the packges are not organized according to category as done in ubuntu software center
[19:02] <sunny_le> ok got it :)
[19:03] <sunny_le> it's all the same only bit different layout :)
[19:03] <BluesKaj_> sunny_le. well ,neither is desktop on kubuntu , but I'm sure you'll find the muon software center quite comprehensive if you use it for a while
[19:04] <sunny_le> BluesKaj_, yeah you are correct, i need to get bit familiar to it.
[19:05] <BluesKaj_> or you could use muon as a reference for info on packages and use the konsole to install them
[19:10] <sunny_le> BluesKaj_, ok :)
[19:14] <sunny_le> BluesKaj_, if i am installing file server, print server and other such services  on my kubuntu then the transition from 13.04 to 13.10 is smooth or there may be some issues ? because i have heard that we have to install new version every 6 months ?
[19:16] <BluesKaj_> sunny_le. you don't "have to" install a new version every 6 months , most versions are supported much longer , like the LTS versions
[19:16] <BluesKaj_> !LTS | sunny_le
[19:17] <sunny_le> BluesKaj_, this means that there is no breakages of packages on upgrading to a newer version correct ?
[19:17] <sunny_le> i have started loving Kubuntu :D :D
[19:17] <BluesKaj_> the next LTS version will be 14.04 , due to be released in April 2014
[19:19] <BluesKaj_> sunny_le. there are no guarantees , , but best practice usually means to install a new release at least one month after the official release date.
[19:20] <BluesKaj_> espcially if you are an "on the job" user...home users can be more adventurous
[19:20] <sunny_le> BluesKaj_, what you suggest if i want to create a home server ?
[19:21] <sunny_le> kubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 ?
[19:23] <BluesKaj_> depends how you want to use the server ,m are you thinking of hostiong a website or just stream media etc on a home network
[19:23] <BluesKaj_> sunny_le. ^
[19:24] <sunny_le> hosting my  website too
[19:26] <lordievader> sunny_le: For my server I use Ubuntu Server 12.04, a gui for a server is pretty pointless.
[19:27] <BluesKaj_> I was about to suggest sunny_le  ask in #ubuntu-server
[19:27] <rodnice> QUESTION: Does anyone know how I would go about fixing AUDIO?  Specifically, Studio programs (Ardour, Hydrogen) tend to hog all of the audio when they are opened and don't let go of the resource until I restart the computer.
[19:29] <lordievader> rodnice: Are they set to use ALSA directly?
[19:29] <BluesKaj_> lordievader. i don't host a website , but this pc is server for our home network , and it would pointless not to have a DE
[19:29] <rodnice> lordievader: not sure.  I had installed and uninstalled some pavuaudio stuff that was mentioned
[19:30] <BluesKaj_> what are you using ardour etc for , are you recording with jack or audacity ?
[19:30] <lordievader> BluesKaj_: To me a server is typically without a monitor. Depends on the/your definition of server I guess.
[19:31] <BluesKaj_> rodnice.^
[19:31] <BluesKaj_> yeah , my external drive could be called a server , it has no OS or DE :)
[19:32] <eagles0513875_> hey guys i just installed raring on my laptop which has a uefi bios and for some reason i dont get any login screen what so ever
[19:32] <eagles0513875_> just a black screen
[19:32] <BluesKaj_> eagles0513875_. can you get to a tty ?
[19:32] <eagles0513875_> what is the shortcut to get the grub menu? was going to go down into recovery with networking and upgrade that way
[19:32] <eagles0513875_> BluesKaj_: no
[19:33] <eagles0513875_> BluesKaj_: i was actually going to do a network upgrade over the network if i could get into recovery through grub which does pop up
[19:33] <eagles0513875_> its after that which doesnt
[19:33] <eagles0513875_> hold on one min
[19:33] <rodnice> BluesKaj: just a sec
[19:33] <BluesKaj_> eagles0513875_. have you tried the shift key immediately following the Bios
[19:33] <lordievader> eagles0513875_: You mean shift? Hold that and you should get the grub menu.
[19:34] <eagles0513875_> ok
[19:34] <eagles0513875_> it used to be the esc key
[19:34] <BluesKaj_> left shift preferrably
[19:35] <eagles0513875_> ok
[19:38] <rodnice> BluesKaj:  I was trying to play with Hydrogen while watching a Hydrogen tutorial at the same time.  I installed and uninstalled a Jack program. Have not installed Audacity.
[19:38] <eagles0513875_> going to upgrade to saucy BluesKaj_  and see if that helps me any
[19:38] <eagles0513875_> BluesKaj_: lordievader  will chat with you in ubuntu +1
[19:38] <lordievader> eagles0513875_: I'm not in ubu+1.
[19:39] <eagles0513875_> ok
[19:39] <eagles0513875_> well i will chat with you then in offtopic lordievader
[19:39] <lordievader> rodnice: Jack claims your sound card, so you browser(?) can't have any sound output.
[19:56] <rodnice> lordievader: hm... I was playing video in VLC and had Hydrogen open.  A friend has a similar problem when running a video and Hydrogen.
[19:57] <rodnice> lordievader: sorry, we're both inexperienced Linux users
[19:57] <lordievader> Hydrogen probably claims the audio card through ALSA or JACK and therefore other applications cannot access it anymore.
[19:58] <lordievader> rodnice: There is no real fix for it, other than closing Hydrogen.
[20:00] <ed8744564399> hi anyone knows a good utility or smth for open vpn so that when it disconnects it would automatically reconnect or atleast block traffic while disconnected?
[20:04] <rodnice> awww
[20:04] <rodnice> :-(
[20:04] <rodnice> lordievader: is that due to system limitations or my understanding of how Linux works vs. Windows?
[20:05] <lordievader> rodnice: Hydrogen wants low latency, for browsers or media players latency isn't much of a problem.
[20:06] <rodnice> lordievader: ahhhh
[20:12] <rodnice> lordievader: how do you know all this stuff?
[20:12] <rodnice> lordievader: (thanks by the way)
[20:14] <lordievader> rodnice: Experiment, read, think, that sort of stuff ;)
[20:14] <lordievader> And no problem.
[20:15] <rodnice> lordievader: Man, latency?  I'm not sure what in my search would have triggered me to read up on that.  It's like I was looking for a Dunkin Donuts on the wrong street.
[20:16] <rodnice> lordievader: but I'll research the latency (whatever that is, lol) issue more in depth. at least I know now where to go
[20:19] <lordievader> rodnice: Latency is the time it takes from input to output. For example if you use your computer as a guitar fx-box if the latency is more than 5 ms you'll hear it the sound coming from your computer lagging behind.
[20:22] <rickyrayjay> does anyone know if i can install the lastest version on kubuntu as the desktop version on my netbook? it has the auto detection on install that defaults to netbook version based on resolution detection...
[20:24] <rodnice> lordievader: ooooooh
[20:24] <rodnice> lordievader: I'm learning and I really do appreciate it
[20:25] <rodnice> lordievader: Just thinking that my fellow newbies coming from Windows would be totally lost trying to understand that
[20:26] <rodnice> lordievader: closing Hydrogen seems to keep my audio "locked" until restart.  Do you think Ubuntu Studio would be optimized to avoid that affect?
[20:27] <eagles0513875_> rodnice: is hydrogen working with real time audio? if it is it could be that its failign to release the lock after hydrogen is closed
[20:28] <lordievader> rodnice: It exists in Windows too, it's ASIO ;)
[20:28] <rodnice> eagles0513875_: I'm not sure ift it is or how to check for that
[20:29] <lordievader> I remember having that problem with Jack often, decided Linux wasn't for pro-audio.
[20:30] <eagles0513875_> rodnice: top or htop and find the process
[20:30] <lordievader> rodnice: Or "ps aux|grep jack"
[20:31] <rodnice> <[20:32] <lordievader> rodnice: Open the Konsole and type the stuff between the " in the konsole and hit enter ;)
[20:32] <rodnice> lordievader: Linux not for pro audio?  But there's Ubuntu Studio... surely it has these issues hammered out
[20:32] <lordievader> rodnice: Just a one man opinion.
[20:34] <rodnice> sensei@sensei-Inspiron-6000:~$ ps aux|grep jack
[20:34] <rodnice> sensei    4553  0.0  0.0   4684   816 pts/1    S+   16:34   0:00 grep --color=auto jack
[20:36] <lordievader> rodnice: You can also use "ps aux|grep [j]ack" to not let the grep process show up.
[20:40] <rodnice> lordievader: now what :-(
[20:43] <rodnice> lordievader: I'll be back... thank you for all your help!
[22:02] <keithzg> Hmm, really hoping that http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pengpod-1040-quad-core-linux-android-dual-booting-tablets gets funded; considering the (understandable, but irritating nonetheless) inability of the Vivaldi tablet to take off, seems like the best bet for a tablet that Kubuntu Active could run nicely on.


[04:11] <arraybolt31> How would I keep an external USB hard drive from ever spinning down? Running Kubuntu 22.04 on a laptop.
[04:12] <arraybolt31> Previously, I used an hdparm command that set its power management state to keep it from spinning down. That worked on a desktop (Ubuntu Studio 22.04 I believe), but on my laptop the disk spins down automatically after a period of inactivity anyway.
[04:13] <arraybolt31> I mainly want to avoid spindown in order to preserve the drive's longevity (I have to use this drive daily and spinning it up once or twice a day is something I'd rather not do if I can avoid it).
[04:13] <matsaman> if you can't control it reasonably with hdparm, honestly just replace it
[04:13] <matsaman> there are hacks, but why bother
[04:13] <arraybolt31> It's a 12 TB WD EasyStore, out of warranty and that cost over $200 :P
[04:14] <arraybolt31> Replacing it isn't an option with my current budget.
[04:14] <arraybolt31> It's not that old, it shouldn't need replacing for another several years most likely, especially if I can keep it from spinning down.
[04:15] <matsaman> oh, that's probably some kind of shingled pile of crap
[04:15] <arraybolt31> might not have actually cost over $200 but still, was pricey
[04:15] <arraybolt31> nah, it's good-ol SMR, I looked it up.
[04:15] <arraybolt31> PMR
[04:15] <arraybolt31> not SMR
[04:15] <arraybolt31> sorry
[04:16] <matsaman> nice
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> arraybolt31: maybe some ideas here? https://askubuntu.com/questions/39760/how-can-i-control-hdd-spin-down-time
[04:16] <arraybolt31> The drive reports itself as being a WD Red, I actually have part of the cover removed so I can see that it's one of the white-label ones but it should be a good-quality drive.
[04:17] <guiverc> arraybolt31, bad hack, but I recall using a cron job that would just do something pointless on the file-system (can't recall what it I did but it was read only)
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> maybe the server guyes got ideas around that too
[04:17] <arraybolt31> guiverc: Thought about that, that would probably work.
[04:17] <arraybolt31> (also, hey lotuspsychje, guiverc :) nice to see you again)
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> : )
[04:18] <arraybolt31> I think probably WD paired a great drive with a crummy USB controller and that's why it's not behaving itself well. It seems to take it when I use the hdparm command to avoid spindown, but it gives me a sense code error when I do that.
[04:18] <arraybolt31> Even though the drive reports that it apparently succeeded :shrug:
[04:18] <arraybolt31> Maybe the lowlatency kernel on Ubuntu Studio has to do with why it used to not spin down there.
[04:19] <arraybolt31> Actually though, I was using a power management hdparm command
[04:19] <arraybolt31> whereas this is a spindown time command lotuspsychje linked me to
[04:19] <arraybolt31> lemme try it
[04:20] <ComputerTech> can't figure out why the Appearance option isn't available in settling for my desktop installation of Ubuntu 22.04
[04:22] <ComputerTech> I had installed desktop on a normal server installation, then installed gnome-session gnome-terminal
[04:22] <arraybolt31> ran the command, we'll see how it works.
[04:22] <ComputerTech> then after that installed ubuntu-desktop, maybe this is the reason Appearances option is missing?
[04:24] <arraybolt31> ComputerTech: Not a direct answer (and I have to go soon), but generally "building" from a Server installation of Ubuntu is a bad idea if you're making a desktop install. The Server version of Ubuntu is configured significantly differently under the hood and installing things on top of it isn't guaranteed to work how you expect (as you are now experiencing). If you need a desktop, install Ubuntu
[04:24] <arraybolt31> Desktop or an official Ubuntu Flavor.
[04:25] <ComputerTech> Yeah i'm doing it on a remote server, so i didn't really have a choice
[04:25] <arraybolt31> ugh.
[04:25] <ComputerTech> ikr
[04:25] <ComputerTech> it's for using via vnc on my tablet xD
[04:25] <ComputerTech> just for fun and giggles :^)
[04:26] <arraybolt31> if you're paying for it, maybe look into Shells, they offer desktop VMs in the cloud
[04:26] <arraybolt31> dunno if that's what you're looking for but might be an idea
[04:26] <arraybolt31> at any rate, good luck :)
[04:26] <ComputerTech> cheers
[07:58] <oky_> hey
[09:43] <clarkk> Does anyone know what the package is called in 20.04 (and maybe later) that allows you to update your software? By default it would open once a day, if there were new packages available. If you open it manually, it would do an "apt update" (showing progress) and then show the list of updates, categorized in a tree structure, and let you toggle which ones you want to install.
[09:48] <clarkk> OK, it's the "Software Updater". See screenshot.  https://i.stack.imgur.com/tsxBQ.png  Does anyone know what the package is called that provides this?
[09:50] <PaulW2U> clarkk: that's update-manager
[09:51] <toddc> clarkk: default is update-manager and updatenotifier   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpdateNotifier
[09:57] <toddc> clarkk: you may be thinking abouy synaptic package manager
[10:01] <clarkk> Thanks, guys. update-manager it is :)
[11:20] <Tach> Hi all, is there a reason why python3-venv instas 3.10and not 3.11 ? So it defaults not (ever) to the latest version because of "stable"?
[11:20] <Tach> Oops...
[11:20] <Tach> Hi all, is there a reason why python3-venv installs 3.10 and not 3.11 ? So it defaults not (ever) to the latest version because of "stable"?
[11:25] <ravage> !latest | Tach
[11:26] <Tach> ravage true, I know that. So packages that are in apt repo's are not considerable to be stable ?
[11:26] <PeGaSuS> they're stable but not necessarily the latest
[11:31] <Tach> PeGaSuS you mean the packages are not the latest or the latest are not stable ?
[11:33] <Tach> As ubuntu has python3.10-venv and python3.11-venv in repo's where python3-venv shows 3.10 version info
[11:33] <PeGaSuS> as ubottu said: "Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.". this means that packages aren't always the latest
[11:33] <Tach> PeGaSuS read my previous line
[11:33] <ravage> there is usually only one version in the repos
[11:34] <ravage> for 22.04 LTS that is 3.10
[11:34] <Tach> indeed
[11:35] <Tach> but why not 3.11 when 3.11 is in repo as well ? 3.11 should be stable enough then
[11:35] <PeGaSuS> it's not on Jammy repos (3.11)
[11:35] <ravage> package versions stay the same through a release lifetime with some exceptions
[11:35] <ravage> python is a big part of apt and so the version will not change
[11:36] <ravage> it gets security fixes like all packages in the main repo
[11:36] <ravage> see !latest
[11:36] <Tach> PeGaSuS it is ?
[11:37] <ravage> it is not
[11:37] <PeGaSuS> unless added via some PPA or something, it isn't
[11:37] <PeGaSuS> https://0bin.xyz/?2de8445bea92a0fb#B2RN2tAnX8sZ9wcN4kF5LZ1dgQgkDvZGZ9eG8QpgsCdH -- stock Ubuntu, without any PPA
[11:37] <Tach> it's in universe and packages
[11:38] <Tach> APT-Sources: https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu/packages jammy-updates/universe amd64 Packages
[11:38] <ravage> https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-updates/python3-all

[11:39] <Tach> ravage do you read ? do a apt-cache search  python venv
[11:39] <Tach> you will see both
[11:39] <Tach> and non versioned points to 3.10
[11:41] <PeGaSuS> I'm wondering if `apt-cache` searches in all versions instead only the actual OS version
[11:42] <Tach> PeGaSuS why would it ?
[11:42] <Tach> PeGaSuS did you run that command ?
[11:42] <PeGaSuS> Tach: I did and that's why I'm raising the question
[11:42] <ravage> https://p.haxxors.com/witjuurv.txt
[11:43] <ravage> this are all versions available for jammy
[11:43] <PeGaSuS> ^ I got the same
[11:44] <Tach> ravage why do you hide your mirror ? it's pubic but no-one may know ?
[11:44] <PeGaSuS> even https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3-venv poinys that 3.11 in only available on Lunar
[11:44] <ravage> Tach: because i can
[11:44] <PeGaSuS> points*
[11:44] <Tach> ravage because you are afraid :)
[11:44] <ravage> good luck
[11:44] <Tach> here guys...update your repo's https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=python3.11-venv&searchon=names
[11:45] <Tach> ravage don't need it, I'm good thanks!
[11:45] <PeGaSuS> https://p.haxxors.com/0104gti8.txt
[11:45] <PeGaSuS> Tach: our repos are up-to-date with the current repos on Jammy
[11:46] <ravage> i see those packages too
[11:47] <ravage> but im not sure i would install "rc1"
[11:47] <ravage> and no clue how that behaves with the default version installed
[11:47] <ravage> if yoyu want to install that make sure you have a backup
[11:50] <Tach> PeGaSuS you ask for policy I think that will never show the 3.11 package
[11:53] <Tach> *unless they put it in policy
[11:54] <PeGaSuS> `apt policy` shows the stable (lets call it that way) package versions for 22.04.. apt-cache searchs ALL package names (not only for 22.04)
[12:00] <PeGaSuS> in case you're wondering about my mirrors: https://p.haxxors.com/zm4a50ka.txt
[12:05] <ravage> PeGaSuS: totally unrelated but consider if https://vscodium.com/ works for you :)
[12:06] <PeGaSuS> ravage: I'm always open to ideas. I'll definitely try it :)
[12:07] <ravage> they basically build the source from MS without the tracking
[12:08] <PeGaSuS> oh, it has a snap.. handy..
[12:08] <ravage> never tried that. please report back if everything works with that :)
[12:09] <PeGaSuS> aye! definitely will :D
[12:15] <PeGaSuS> so far, so good. even repo cloning and stuff works
[12:16] <ravage> cool. before we get intro trouble maybe we continue in #ubuntu-discuss
[12:17] <ravage> only if you have more feedback of course. and i would like to hear it :)
[12:24] <ubuntu> o
[12:24] <ubuntu> hello
[12:24] <Guest3815> hello
[12:24] <Guest3815> anyone here?
[12:35] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:37] <nicoz> hi BluesKaj
[12:38] <nicoz> ;)
[12:40] <BluesKaj> hi nicoz
[12:57] <Jackneill> hey. i a folder with images in nemo 5.6.3. when i click on an image the 1st one opens always. when i open it from the open with.. menu the corretc one opens. any idea why? gnome files works correctly so it must be a nemo problem. (https://termbin.com/v4na)
[13:43] <dipta> suka blay
[13:43] <dipta> hi
[13:43] <dipta> there is some1
[13:43] <dipta> uasd
[13:43] <dipta> asd
[13:43] <dipta> asd
[13:43] <dipta> a
[13:45] <toddc> Jackneill: see https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo and file a issue there
[13:49] <Jackneill> toddc, in linuxmint they said file an issue for cinnamon package in ubuntu
[13:49] <JanC> well, it might be fixed upstream already, so better file a bug in Ubuntu...
[13:49] <Jackneill> everyone just points at each other.
[13:50] <lotuspsychje> on ubuntu i would go for launchpad too
[13:53] <JanC> Jackneill: when you right click or otherwise use the open width menu, do you select the default application that also opens when you double click?
[13:53] <Jackneill> JanC, yes
[13:54] <Jackneill> i checked gnome files app, and that works. any image i double click is the same that opens (same default image viewer)
[13:59] <Jackneill> JanC, i checked other image viewer set as default (shotwell instead of gnome image viewer) and the double click then works
[13:59] <Jackneill> in nemo also
[13:59] <JanC> hm
[13:59] <JanC> what if you switch it back?
[13:59] <Jackneill> somehow the nemo-gnome image viewer combination seems to be bad
[13:59] <Jackneill> its bad again
[14:00] <JanC> weird; I assume Nemo would just use the default Gtk functionality for opening files, so it should in theory be the same...
[14:24] <Tach> TheRedQueen Do you ever heard about the red sea as well ? :P
[14:24] <Tach> Oh bot doesn't reply :(
[14:41] <ravage> Jackneill: https://p.haxxors.com/s3389gtw.webm this is on Cinnamon 23.04
[14:44] <Jackneill> ravage, im not sure what you are trying to convey. that is the normal behaviour. in my case (nemo-gnome image viewer) for example if you double click on the second image the 1st one would open.
[14:44] <ravage> i click on the 2nd image and the 2nd image opens
[14:48] <ioria> Jackneill, maybe you can do a little screen video as ravage did
[14:49] <lotuspsychje> Jackneill: on wich ubuntu Flavour/DE are you testing as base?
[14:54] <Jackneill> lotuspsychje,  https://termbin.com/v4na
[14:55] <Jackneill> everything is default, gdm
[14:55] <Jackneill> except that the WM is cinnamon
[14:56] <Jackneill> cinnamon 5.6.7
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> Jackneill: did you install cinnamon ontop ubuntu desktop 23.04?
[14:56] <Jackneill> lotuspsychje, yes
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> can you try to create a new user to reproduce it Jackneill
[14:58] <Jackneill> i have 2 users, its present with both (tested)
[14:58] <lotuspsychje> kk
[15:05] <lotuspsychje> cant reproduce that on 22.04 neither, installed nemo on ubuntu-desktop to test
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> pictures open as expected
[15:07] <JanC> yeah, it's no problem on 22.04 as I use it with Nemo myself
[15:14] <JanC> Jackneill: can you check the commandline of eog (Gnome image viewer) in both cases (double click + open file from menu)?
[15:30] <Jackneill> JanC, how ? is there a log file?
[15:33] <ioria> Jackneill, cd in the image directory and run 'xdg-open imagefile.jpeg'  and see what is set to use to open the pic
[15:33] <JanC> ioria: not useful
[15:34] <JanC> Jackneill: while you open it & it's still running you can see it in the process properties in System Monitor, or you can use 'ps -f -C eog' in a terminal
[15:36] <JanC> do that for both cases: close image viewer (all windows!), double click, check eog commandline, close image viewer, use the menu, check eog commandline
[16:38] <Jackneill> JanC, it seems when i double click, all the image in images in the folder gets added to the arg list
[16:38] <Jackneill> but when i start from set as default menu, only the clicked image
[16:38] <JanC> interesting
[16:38] <Jackneill> thus the first image is shown the the clicked one
[16:44] <JanC> at least we know it's not because it opens the folder instead of the file
[16:44] <JanC> but opening all files is weird
[16:44] <JanC> it's like it selects all files or something
[16:49] <JanC> might be useful to mention that in the bug report
[17:39] <JanC> anybody else seeing frequent Firefox crashes after the last update? (on 22.04)
[17:44] <toddc> JanC: yes but I had way to many tabs open and ran out of ram   I also had several vm and other programs so user error
[17:45] <JanC> I have lots open too, but that is normally not an issue; now I get crashes every couple hours or so  :-/
[18:23] <JanC> *boom* Firefox gone again...   :-(
[19:13] <flamki> hey
[19:13] <flamki> any one there
[19:14] <topcat001> JanC: what does the journal say? You can try running with a clean temporary profile from the command line.
[19:29] <SwedeMike> deeps: /win 207
[19:29] <SwedeMike> oops
[19:29] <rud0lf> who has 207 windows open?
[19:30] <SwedeMike> rud0lf: people who don't close windows because they don't cost anything
[19:32] <JanC> I'm in ~150 channels, I think, so not (yet) 207  :P
[19:33] <SwedeMike> each time someone msg:s me it opens a new window
[19:34] <SwedeMike> and I've been using irssi for 20 years
[22:23] <Juest> hi, i've upgraded from 20.04 to 23.04 or whatever lts is now and i've found that grub lost the ubuntu branding, why would that be?
[22:23] <Juest> it just says GNU/Linux instead of Ubuntu, and a entry called grub appeared in the firmware boot menu
[22:25] <jeremy31> Juest: another OS installed?
[22:26] <jeremy31> The firmware entry should take you to BIOS/UEFI settings
[22:36] <Juest> jeremy31: i am talking about the firmware boot menu not the firmware entry in grub. and previously, all ubuntu based third party distributions used the same grub entry but deferred to ubuntu's bootloader
[22:36] <Juest> as in, the firmware boot selection
[22:38] <jeremy31> Juest: is it a multi boot?
[22:38] <Juest> there's multiple distributions and for some reason ubuntu is the only functional uefi grub to my disposal, others seem to either not offer a uefi grub bootloader or have the mbr grub thing installed
[22:42] <Juest> yes jeremy31
[22:44] <jeremy31> Mixed UEFI/MBR is a mess
[22:44] <Juest> the problem here is that ubuntu suddenly lost the branding of ubuntu in its own bootloader, its now called GNU/Linux and the theme is not ubuntu-like but something that debian would have. (blue dialog on black background)
[22:45] <jeremy31> Juest: force grub to install from Ubuntu
[22:45] <Juest> initially the linux distributions were installed in uefi mode onto a mbr disk that was converted to gpt
[22:46] <jeremy31> In Ubuntu you can use EFI on msdos partitioned drives
[22:46] <Juest> jeremy31: when i upgraded ubuntu from lts to lts things went amiss and it started calling itself GNU/Linux and grub instead of Ubuntu and ubuntu (the distribution name and the uefi boot menu entry for ubuntu)
[22:47] <Juest> okay, don't worry about the disk stuff, the point is that somehow the branding of ubuntu went amiss and i would like to see how i could resolve that
[22:48] <jeremy31> Juest: what was the OS last installed before the Ubuntu  update?  You might have to update grub there
[22:49] <Juest> Ubuntu seemed to have taken precedence over everything and its my only functional grub bootloader in the system.
[22:49] <Juest> this is a ubuntu controlled grub
[22:49] <Juest> the upgrade messed up the grub branding
[22:49] <Juest> the entry called GNU/Linux is ubuntu
[22:50] <Juest> did i explain myself correctly?
[22:56] <jeremy31> I have never seen grub installed by Ubuntu do that
[22:57] <Juest> this happened during the upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 LTS
[22:57] <Juest> i misspoke earlier
[22:59] <jeremy31> Juest: can you get a BIOS boot menu and select ubuntu
[22:59] <Juest> jeremy31: I see ubuntu and i also see grub, plus its duplicated a few times, all of the options give me the same grub bootloader that belongs to the ubuntu installation
[23:54] <EriC^^> Juest: can you pastebin /etc/default/grub
