[00:02] <MountainX> Anyone using Kubuntu 12.04 having problems with Firefox not being able to open containing folder of downloaded items?
[00:03] <Mitchell92> Hi... just put kubuntu on my netbook and it's looking funny.
[00:10] <Mitchell92> Can someone give me some advice? Just downloaded kubuntu and put it on my netbook, but the KDE interface looks totally different than that on my suse linux box.
[00:12] <tsimpson> the netbook interface looks different from the desktop interface
[00:12] <Mitchell92> I want the regular desktop interface.
[00:12] <Mitchell92> did it automatically detect I'm on a netbook?
[00:13] <tsimpson> yes, it normally detects the netbook and uses a specially designed interface
[00:13] <Mitchell92> How can I switch it to the desktop interface?
[00:13] <tsimpson> you can change it from System Settings -> Workspace Behaviour -> Workspace
[00:14] <MountainX> see system settings > workspace behavior > workspace to change it
[00:14] <tsimpson> change Workspace Type  to Desktop
[00:15] <Mitchell92> I'm going to window behavior
[00:15] <Mitchell92> oops thats what i did wrong
[00:16] <Mitchell92> i let my roommate use my netbook, it has like stuff all over the lid.
[00:17] <FFForever> Hi ya
[00:18] <FFForever> I'm trying to install some updates (libc6) and I keep getting Can't exec "locale": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 16.
[00:24] <muji8u_> so what would u guys suggest is a good video editing software?
[00:25] <muji8u_> blender looks pretty cool
[00:27] <atome> hi there :)
[00:27] <atome> I would like to assign keyboard keys on a joystick... ?
[00:31] <muji8u_> does reconq have an adblocker on it?
[00:32] <atome> muji8u_, not sure konqueror have it... ask google...
[00:32] <atome> for me qjoypad...
[00:33] <muji8u_> yea k tnx
[00:39] <muji8u_> wtf?? apt-get install skype no work!
[00:43] <amason> muji8u_: skype is not free software so if it's in an apt repository at all it would have to reside in the parter repositories
[00:44] <amason> make sure that those are enabled and apt-get update
[00:44] <amason> you should then be able to do an apt-cache search skype
[00:45] <amason> muji8u_: openshot is supposed to be pretty good for consumer level video editing
[00:45] <muji8u_> okay thanks
[00:45] <amason> blender is actually really good for professional level video editing
[00:46] <amason> however it comes with professional level complexity :)
[00:46] <muji8u_> thats alright lol
[00:46] <muji8u_> i made my movie yestarday with sony vegas while learning how to use it at the same time lol
[00:47] <muji8u_> where would i find the parter repositories?
[00:49] <amason>  /etc/apt/sources.list is where you would enable it. i don't know what the repo is specifically. i don't use proprietary software myself.
[00:49] <amason> i would personally be surprised if skype was in there though
[00:49] <amason> my guess is that you probably have to get it from the website
[00:55] <muji8u_> back, and yea okay thanks
[00:57] <muji8u_> how do i find out which version of kubuntu i have? x86, x64?
[01:01] <amason> uname -a will tell you which kernel your using
[01:05] <muji8u_> uname?
[01:05] <muji8u_> ah nvm
[01:05] <muji8u_> lol
[01:05] <muji8u_> aww damn it... i thought this was the 64 bit.....
[01:06] <amason> what does it output ?
[01:06] <muji8u_> .6.38-13-generic-pae #56-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 14 14:32:30 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[01:09] <amason> ok yeh that's not the 64bit version but realistically there isn't a whole lot of difference. 64bit will generally be faster but will also consume more memory
[01:10] <MountainX> anyone using Kubuntu 12.04 with Firefox?
[01:10] <amason> MountainX: i do on my laptop
[01:10] <MountainX> amason: after you download a file with Firefox, can you "open containing folder" from the downloads list?
[01:11] <MountainX> that isn't working for me
[01:11] <amason> can't say that i've tried that , i'm not currently with my laptop so i can't test, but remember 12.04 isn't yet released
[01:12] <amason> so there will probably be a large number of things that aren't yet fully baked
[01:12] <MountainX> Kubuntu 11.10 doesn't work for me, so I have no choice but to use 12.04 (or another distro)
[01:13] <amason> that's fine, but just don't expect 12.04 to be fully baked
[01:13] <amason> you might find that another distro is more suitable for you depending on what issues you encounter
[01:14] <MountainX> I just need to know if anyone else is having this same problem. If not, I'm going to reinstall 12.04 again.
[01:14] <amason> reinstalling is unlikely to change anythinhg
[01:14] <amason> you could move your profiles and .qt /.kde files
[01:14] <amason> and try that
[01:15] <MountainX> do I need to log out of the DE to move those files, or can I just move them with Dolphin, then logout/login?
[01:15] <amason> the latter is fine
[01:16] <MountainX> thanks
[01:16] <amason> i'd move .kde, .qt .firefox
[01:16] <amason> that will probably reset all your custom settings or any legacy settings
[01:17] <MountainX> I think my mime types are messed up. That's why I was actually thinking about reinstalling.
[01:17] <MountainX> this is my issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/112194/kubuntu-12-04-firefox-and-rekong-dont-know-how-to-open-downloaded-files#comment132741_112194
[01:17] <amason> you can purge / re-install just that package
[01:18] <MountainX> which package? I purged Firefox already. Is there a mime types package I can purge too?
[01:18] <amason> should be
[01:18] <amason> whatever package installs /etc/mime.types
[01:18] <amason> or whatever the file is called
[01:19] <amason> apt-file will tell you what package it comes from
[01:19] <MountainX> that's one file. Another one is /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[01:20] <MountainX> amason: apt-file - great tip. Thanks!
[01:20] <MountainX> unfortunately, it doesn't recognize /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[01:21] <amason> yeh i don't have that on my machine either
[01:21] <amason> what does the file contain ?
[01:22] <MountainX> my problem is that the browsers don't know how to open file types (or the containing folder). I found on a forum that this file contained associations for applications and file types.
[01:22] <MountainX> But I think it must not apply to KDE, now.
[01:22] <amason> well firefox is a GTK app
[01:22] <MountainX> good point
[01:22] <FFForever> Any ideas about this error Can't exec "locale": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 16. while installing libc6?
[01:23] <MountainX> FFForever: did you check Google? I see that exact error listed
[01:27] <muji8u_> um im trying to go in to "su" in konsole but its saying incorrect pass?
[01:27] <FFForever> MountainX I did, and some pages tell me to download the libc file and extract the ldconfig. Unfortunately that didn't work since it didn't have an sbin directory
[01:27] <muji8u_> su: Authentication failure
[01:28] <MountainX> muji8u: did you try sudo ?
[01:28] <muji8u_> im trying to install a nvidia driver thats y
[01:28] <MountainX> in some distros, su requires root password while sudo requires the user's password. I'm not sure how Kubuntu works in that regard
[01:31] <MountainX> muji8u_: you can install the driver using sudo or su. But your user must have sudo rights. By default the user you create during installation has those rights.
[01:31] <muji8u_> so what is the root password?
[01:31] <muji8u_> it worked with sudo
[01:31] <MountainX> there is no root password on Ubuntu
[01:32] <MountainX> ok. just use sudo then. That's the usual way
[01:32] <muji8u_> okay
[01:35] <FFForever> MountainX, I was downloading the wrong package heh. I needed libc-bin and not libc
[01:35] <MountainX> ok
[01:39] <muji8u_> how do i go into text mode so that i may install the driver?
[01:40] <muji8u_> ctrl+alt+backspace nvm
[01:44] <muji8u_> aight so when i kill x, and i do sudo "program" it says command not found
[01:45] <muji8u_> its .run file?
[01:47] <MountainX> you can get to a console with CTRL-ALT-F1 (or F2, to F6)
[01:48] <MountainX> to install the driver, try sudo -s
[01:48] <MountainX> then at the # prompt, run the command
[01:48] <MountainX> then type "exit" to get out of root mode
[01:50] <muji8u_> what command should i use to open it?
[01:51] <muji8u_> sh?
[01:51] <MountainX> to run a file you can use ./filename or sh filename
[01:51] <MountainX> or bash filename
[01:52] <muji8u_> okay got it
[01:52] <muji8u_> but i thought ctrl+alt+backspace killed x server
[01:53] <amason> service kdm stop should drop you to a console
[01:53] <amason> and kill the xserver
[01:57] <MountainX> using CTRL-ALT-F1 is a way to switch to the console without killing the X server. If you need to kill X, do it your way.
[01:57] <MountainX> If you use CTRL-ALT-F1, you can get back to the X session with CTRL-ALT-F7

[06:46] <Boffy> hello! i have a question. i used kdesudo to run dolphin, so i could set give right of new hard disk used for data to user. i've also marked it for sharing (wioth samba). hwoever later i realised i do not want to share the whole disk over network but only a folder that user would share. i marked it unshared, however dolphin is ignoring me
[06:46] <Boffy> after i click ok and check the propperties of disk again it is still shared just like before

[12:02] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:03] <ghostcube> is there any chance the kde window decorator will work with compiz?
[13:09] <BluesKaj> ghostcube,  in what manner , what effects ?
[13:09] <ghostcube> scaling the windows for example isnt possible with kde decorator
[13:10] <ghostcube> you cant change the size
[13:11] <BluesKaj> ghostcube,  perhaps just using compiz without desktop effects enabled , but I personally don't see the need for compiz anymore.
[13:12] <ghostcube> hmm i dont like the kde effekts and the triggers for them. i just use compiz without kde effects. i try emerald this evening.
[13:12] <ghostcube> there is an working version in ppa
[13:14] <BluesKaj> ghostcube,  not many ppl using compiz , so compiz problems don't come up very often
[13:14] <BluesKaj> not here anyway
[13:15] <ghostcube> there are not much problems so far, its just you cant change any window size with kde decorator. i used gtk decorator the last months, and thought maybe there is any change.
[13:15] <ghostcube> anything else works fine for kde and compiz
[13:15] <ghostcube> so i try to get emerald up and running :)
[13:17] <ghostcube> the kde effects are nice, i dont say there not well done, i just dont like the triggrs and some of them, and i run compiz since beryl iam used to it :)
[13:17] <BluesKaj> ghostcube,  click on the titlebar, choose advanced, special window  and special application settings to resize
[13:18] <ghostcube> hmm ok, will try this, thx

[14:31] <designbybeck> Hello All
[14:31] <designbybeck> Best Video Screen Capture program for Kubuntu/KDE??
[14:35] <mounir> bonjour
[14:36] <BluesKaj> designbybeck,  not sure , have you tried recordmydesktop ?
[14:36] <designbybeck> not with my Kuubntu desktop setup yet BluesKaj
[14:36] <designbybeck> I thought i'd ask first
[14:37] <designbybeck> but I'm on dual monitors, i might have to unhook before i do this screen cast, I don't think GTKRecordmydesktop allowed for slecting the screens
[14:37] <BluesKaj> designbybeck,  the app description says "Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session"
[14:37] <mydogsnameisrudy> morning
[14:38] <designbybeck> I did use it when i was using Ubuntu
[14:38] <designbybeck> I'll give that a try again. Thanks BluesKaj
[14:38] <BluesKaj> designbybeck,  maybe , "screen"
[14:38] <designbybeck> ...howdy mydogsnameisrudy
[14:38] <BluesKaj> hey mydogsnameisrudy

[14:53] <BluesKaj> Dan-The-Man,  most are being replaced / upgraded

[16:15] <Neuer_N> hi all
[16:15] <Neuer_N> pls, give me other IRC channel
[16:27] <Combatjuan> When I first log into X, graphics are smooth are nice.  After a day, they are choppy and moving windows gives me about 2FPS.  If I turn on desktop effects, they are butter smooth for ~5 seconds and then completely freeze for ~30 seconds.
[16:28] <Combatjuan> s/X/KDE
[16:28] <Combatjuan> And with desktop effects enabled I get about 5 minutes (unless I manage to turn them off during a non-frozen tiny chunk of time) of X will restart.
[16:31] <markus> I turned them off for the same reasons
[16:31] <markus> But I got tired of them anyways
[16:31] <markus> Look nice but are totally useless
[16:32] <designbybeck> My buddy just pointed out to me that Kubuntu's Home page "tour page" still shows OpenOffice!? http://www.kubuntu.org/feature-tour
[16:33] <BreoganBard> ...does anyone could tell me how to disable guest session on ubuntu 10.04 ...?
[16:33] <Combatjuan> markus: I turn them off because they lock up my system.  I /want/ them on, not because they are pretty, but because having choppy-stuttering non-HW accelerate graphics completely sucks.
[16:35] <Combatjuan> Man, I feel like it's still 2002 and desktop linux is still incredibly unpolished.  Don't get me wrong, I love linux and freedom and use it like crazy... but so often it's just a pain in the butt.
[16:35] <tazcook> hi im trying to fix my HD partitions, ive messed up the geometry, could you give me a hand? i tried with testdisk and sfdisk
[16:35] <tazcook> also gparted doesnt work
[16:36] <markus> I am tired of that endless discussion that linux is unpolished and whatelse
[16:36] <Combatjuan> tazcook: Why doesn't it work?
[16:36] <markus> go and use windows
[16:36] <Combatjuan> markus: No thanks.  Linux has its problems, but I'll take it any day over windows.
[16:37] <tazcook> it gives me an error, gimme a sec
[16:38] <tazcook> Combatjuan: gparted says cant have partition outside the disk
[16:39] <Combatjuan> tazcook: Yikes.    But out of curiousity, how did you get your geometry messed up?   Just accidentally put in the wrong values in fdisk?
[16:41] <Combatjuan> BreoganBard: Near as I can tell, I don't have a guest account.  Do you mean to be asking in #ubuntu?
[16:41] <tazcook> well Combatjuan, i was trying to make a new partition in windows 7 to install kubuntu and the program closed while there was a raw partition at the end of the disk, then i tried to install kubuntu and it didnt recognize any partition so i tried to get back into windows and bootmgr is missing, now im trying to find a way to fix the tables somehow, i already tried with gparted, testdisk, sfdisk...
[16:42] <BreoganBard> Combatjuan:  I did ask on #ubuntu.. thank you anyway ..
[16:43] <Combatjuan> BreoganBard: So are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu.  If the latter, I'll try and help, if the former, I probably can't.
[16:44] <Combatjuan> tazcook: If I were you, I'd probably consider going with the windows repair disk.  I'd expect it to be able to get the partitions back to defaults (this is assuming you don't have data on your linux partitions that you care about yet).  Once you can boot into windows, try again with the kubuntu disk.
[16:44] <tazcook> thank you Combatjuan, i already tried that and it didnt fix the bootmgr
[16:44] <Combatjuan> tazcook: I've had excellent luck with resizing and configuring partitions from the various Xbuntu live disks.
[16:44] <BreoganBard> Combatjuan:  ubuntu lucid... :( thank you again
[16:46] <Combatjuan> tazcook: So I assume you've tried something like http://cyberst0rm.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-to-fix-bootmgr-is-missing-in.html and it gets angry at your partition table and just calls it quits?
[16:48] <tazcook> Combatjuan: the first thing didnt work, the second thing i havent tried yet, but i was wondering if there was a way of fixing the partitions from the kubuntu live dvd because i had much better luck in the past with linux tools, i dont know what im going to di if go back to windows without installing kubuntu or fixing my partitions, as the one that has all the data im scared of losing cannot be mounted after various attempts to
[16:48] <tazcook> fix it since yesterday
[16:50] <Combatjuan> tazcook: I see.  I've also had good luck with the linux tools, but it's pretty typical for windows installs to have sort of weird partition tables and if you didn't happen to have your old ones recorded, I don't know how you'd set them back to what they were.  Whatever you do, avoid mounting any partition except as read-only until you get it figured out (duh).
[16:53] <tazcook> Combatjuan: well i still have some hope because i can see the partitions i used to have are still there, its just that there are two of them (new) that start and end outside the disk and are around 400gb.. lol
[16:53] <tazcook> Combatjuan: testdisk detects my hd as 800gb and its 500gb...
[16:54] <Combatjuan> tazcook: Ha.  That's one way to 'get' more space. So what's wrong with going into sfdisk/fdisk and just making the huge partition actually end where it ought?
[16:55] <tazcook> Combatjuan: thats what i want to do, still sfdisk gives me errors for the last 2 partition sizes
[16:56] <tazcook> Combatjuan: and i dont really know how to input the right sizes
[16:56] <Combatjuan> So basically sfdisk doesn't startup in the same way gparted doesn't start.  Have you tried good ol' fashioned fdisk?
[16:57] <tazcook> no, they give different errors, and i could fix the damaged partition but i cant finish the table because the last two have the wrong size and i dont know how to calculate it if i had to, havent tried much with fdisk
[16:58] <tazcook> Combatjuan: i think if i shrink sda4, the endless partition and give the last 2 their correct sizes in sfdisk everything would be ok... do you have any tips for fdisk?
[17:02] <Combatjuan> tazcook: I'm not expert on such matters.  `fdisk -l /dev/sda` should tell you what your drive is like and give you current status.
[17:03] <Whiskey`Wonka> arg
[17:03] <tazcook> Combatjuan: i sent you a private message with the output

[18:13] <TopGear> Hi. I don't have any sound in YouTube anymore, but Clementine is working perfectly. Do you know what it could be?
[18:14] <BluesKaj> TopGear,  which kubuntu version ?
[18:16] <BluesKaj> TopGear,  pulseaudio may need to be installed
[18:17] <TopGear> BluesKaj: 11.10 with KDE 4.8. It worked perfectley last week. And without any reason, updates or whatever, there's no YouTube sound. I'll test another flash game.
[18:18] <BluesKaj> TopGear,  run pulseaudio in the terminal ...need to know if it's installed
[18:19] <TopGear> No, totally NO sound in flash. And KMix keeps on crashing too. I'll take a look in the settings if someting's changed.
[18:19] <TopGear> Daemon already running.
[18:21] <BluesKaj> ok TopGear , check flash in /usr/lib/mozilla plugins , make sure you habe a libflashplayer.so file there
[18:22] <TopGear> BluesKaj: Aj, forgot to mention I'm using Chromium.
[18:23] <BluesKaj> yeah, that's fine , chromium looks int the mozilla plugins
[18:24] <TopGear> BluesKaj: flashplugin-alternative.so is the only flash thing in that folder.
[18:24] <BluesKaj> TopGear,  also check /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/
[18:25] <TopGear> No adobe-flashplugin folder in /user/lib.
[18:25] <TopGear> Eh, /usr/ offcourse.
[18:28] <MountainX>  is anyone using Kubuntu 12.04 beta-1 with Firefox?
[18:28] <BluesKaj> TopGear, is flashplugin-installer installed ?
[18:29] <MountainX> (anyone besides amason, I mean)
[18:29] <TopGear> BluesKaj: Yeah, the AMD64 version is installed, like it should be since I have an x64 system.
[18:29] <TopGear> No, MountainX. 11.10 here.
[18:30] <MountainX> I'm still trying to figure out if the problems I'm seeing are happening to anyone else or if I need to reinstall.
[18:31] <MountainX> so, just looking for anyone else using 12.04 with Firefox
[18:36] <BluesKaj> ok TopGear , download adobe flash player from the adobe site , extract it in whatever folder it dl's to , then open /usr/lib/mozilla , copy the libflashplayer.so file into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder , using root permissions
[18:37] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  12.04 here .. I use FF occasionaly
[18:39] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  what's the problem
[18:39] <TopGear> BluesKaj: Pasted it there. Restart Chromium now?
[18:39] <BluesKaj> yes, TopGear
[18:41] <MountainX> @BluesKaj - do you have any problems with files downloaded by Firefox when you use FF to open containing folder (or even open the file with its application)?
[18:42] <TopGear> BluesKaj: Nothing...
[18:42] <TopGear> BluesKaj: Think it's a problem in chromium since Reqonc does work.
[18:43] <TopGear> Or how that should be be written...
[18:44] <MountainX> BluesKaj: in fact, even rekonq won't "Open Directory" for downloaded items. It reports "rekonq does not know how to handle this protocol: " I guess if this were happening to everyone, we'd have heard about it by now. I think something went wrong in my installation.
[18:45] <BluesKaj> TopGear,  open chromium , type about:plugins in the addressbar , you should have Flash - Version 11.1 r102 or something similar
[18:47] <TopGear> BluesKaj, Yeah, it's there but still no sound. Even after reinstalling Chromium.
[18:48] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  check alsamixer in the terminal , make sure all ctrls are turned up ..and does clementine still work?
[18:49] <BluesKaj> oops wrong guy this is for TopGear ^
[18:49] <MountainX> BluesKaj: haha. Right.
[18:49] <TopGear> BluesKaj: You're so kind for your time to help me, but I just figured out KMixer had set the Chromium Alsa to mute. Damn...
[18:49] <BluesKaj> TopGear,  are you just downloading with FF or are torrent clients
[18:49] <TopGear> And that's one weird sentence.
[18:50] <BluesKaj> being used as well
[18:51] <BluesKaj> TopGear,  np :) ..i should have mentioned that right off
[18:52] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  are you just downloading with FF or are torrent clients or torrent clients as well
[18:52] <BluesKaj> oops .getting reptitive in my old age :)
[18:52] <MountainX> just firefox. Actually, I have a similar problem with Rekonq. So I think the issue is at the system level mime-types
[18:54] <MountainX> I suspec that for most users of Kubuntu 12.04, after downloading a file in Rekonq and choosing Downloads (within Rekonq), "Open Directory" will work as expected.
[18:54] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  you can see the downloaded files in the ~/Downloads file ?
[18:54] <MountainX> For me, I get
[18:54] <MountainX> Error dialog with message: "rekonq does not know how to handle this protocol: "
[18:54] <MountainX> Nothing follows the protocol.
[18:54] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  what does properties say
[18:55] <MountainX> yes, I can see the downloaded files and Dolphin will open them with the correct application.
[18:55] <MountainX> the file permissions are fine.
[18:55] <MountainX> file properties look normal. It doesn't matter which file I download.
[18:56] <MountainX> Both browsers simply don't know how to open ether the file or the containing directory.
[18:56] <BluesKaj> ok so kate and dolphin and the applications work ok , but FF doesn't know how to open the file from it's location
[18:56] <BluesKaj> yes
[18:56] <MountainX> correct
[18:57] <MountainX> I assume you can "open directory" of downloaded items using the link on the downloads page of Rekonq, right?
[18:57] <MountainX> I just want to verify that other users of 12.04 are NOT seeing this issue.
[18:57] <MountainX> If no one else sees it, I will reinstall.
[19:01] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  ok open FF>edit>preferences>General> then under Downloads , "Save files to" , Downloads ...just want to make sure the browsers are looking in the default path in your preferences
[19:05] <MountainX> @BluesKaj - yes, that is correct
[19:06] <MountainX> but it should not matter. Normally, choosing "open in directory" will open the file regardless of the place it was downloaded to.
[19:13] <BluesKaj> MountainX, have you updates/upgraded lately , if so, also do a dist-upgrade
[19:14] <MountainX> I just installed and also did a dist-upgrade. I have all latest packages. I had the problem immediately after install and I still have it after upgrading all packages.
[19:14] <MountainX> it's either a bug in 12.04 or a problem with my install.
[19:15] <MountainX> I asked yesterday and today and it seems no one else has seen this issue, so I don't think it is a bug.
[19:15] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  check launchpad for a bug before you report , it may already exist there
[19:16] <MountainX> I checked already
[19:16] <MountainX> nothing helpful there
[19:16] <MountainX> If others were seeing this issue, I'd find out here, right?
[19:18] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  also ask in ubuntu+1 , it's the 12.04 site for all 'buntus
[19:18] <MountainX> I did, yesterday and today. No responses there.
[19:22] <BluesKaj> MountainX,  if anyone elase reported your issue as a bug , it would have a reference in launchpad, yes
[20:28] <phoenix_firebrd> what is the output driver i have to select to use the hardware accelerated video playback in mplayer. I am using my onboard intel graphics accelerator x4500 .
[20:37] <sluckxz> do you mean vdpau phoenix_firebrd?
[20:37] <phoenix_firebrd> sluckxz: but vdpau is only for nvidia right?
[20:37] <sluckxz> yes
[20:37] <BluesKaj> mplayer should use your installed graphics driver by default, phoenix_firebrd
[20:38] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: what should i select in the output driver
[20:39] <BluesKaj> what do you mean,  select as output driver ?
[20:39] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ya
[20:39] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: i changed that option, now i dont know the default one
[20:40] <BluesKaj> the driver is the driver , there is no separate output driver , it's card 0 in the conf file
[20:40] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: oops, i small mistake, i am using smplayer
[20:42] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: there is an option to select the video output driver, shall i list the available options. There is no default option
[20:43] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd,  sudo lshw -C video| grep driver
[20:43] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: If i was using nvidia card i would have selected vdpau, but what should i select to use vaapi
[20:43] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ok, let me check
[20:44] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: this is what is got "configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
[20:44] <phoenix_firebrd> "
[20:45] <BluesKaj> lspci | grep VGA
[20:46] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[20:46] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd,  so what choices are there in smplayer that concerns you ?
[20:47] <BluesKaj> or worries you
[20:47] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ok, i will list all, wait
[20:47] <BluesKaj> not here  phoenix_firebrd , pastebin the list
[20:48] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj:  :D obviously
[20:48] <BluesKaj> how many graphics cards do you have installed ?
[20:54] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, there aren't more than one graphics driver option on most setups , the BIOS is set to run one graphical interface and that's all afaik , unlees your running a laptop that use dual gpus
[20:54] <n1x> Hi! My bluetooth is working from command line, but BlueDevil show No Adapters Found. How can i get it working?
[20:54] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: http://paste.kde.org/439400/
[20:59] <BluesKaj> that's justa list of video references and apps tha smplayer will run on...those aren't drivers afaik
[21:00] <BluesKaj> n1x,  type bluedevil in the cli , see what it does
[21:00] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: so what should i select ?
[21:00] <n1x> BluesKaj, okay let me try
[21:01] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd,  don't select anything
[21:01] <n1x> BluesKaj, bluedevil-* , what should I run?
[21:01] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: but i already changed the default one
[21:01] <BluesKaj> smplayer should use the installed default driver
[21:01] <BluesKaj> to what?
[21:02] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: gl
[21:02] <BluesKaj> !gl
[21:02] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: maybe its the opengl
[21:02] <BluesKaj> gl isn't a driver
[21:03] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ok .when i was using a nvidia card, i use to select vdpau
[21:03] <BluesKaj> vdpau is an old driver no longer in use afaik
[21:04] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: how can i use vaapi
[21:04] <BluesKaj> dunno
[21:04] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ok, i going to check what xbmc is using by default
[21:04] <sluckxz> As of Q1-2012, Linux support for accelerated H.264 playback on X4500HD is still not available
[21:05] <sluckxz> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#Linux
[21:06] <sluckxz> xbmc is slick for testing.  i use nvidia cards. and get acceleration with a micro ion pc.  plays 1080 on xbmc acceptable
[21:07] <sluckxz> sorry your onboard intel is apparantely not supported but it is not suprising.
[21:09] <BluesKaj> intel has crappy graphics drivers for linux , that's whay nvidia is doing so well :)
[21:09] <BluesKaj> why
[21:09] <phoenix_firebrd> sluckxz: its x4500, not x4500hd. may be you are right, let me check that. I was using nvidia 9400gt and vdpau was fine, but now i am not using it
[21:09] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ya
[21:09] <sluckxz> vdpau is alive
[21:10] <phoenix_firebrd> sluckxz: vdpau is great
[21:10] <BluesKaj> it's alive for older OSs
[21:10] <sluckxz> im running 11.10 with vdpau on the latest nvidia drivers
[21:11] <sluckxz> they are pretty much stock now on all nvidia stuff its not old its stable
[21:11] <phoenix_firebrd> one thing i dont like in nvidia is that the login screen is displayed in a wrong resolution
[21:12] <n1x> BluesKaj, http://paste.kde.org/439406/
[21:15] <BluesKaj> latest nvidia drivers I don't use vdpau , due to the age of my nvidia card , it's a7600gt , but nvidia-current runs everything just fine
[21:17] <BluesKaj> n1x, sorry , dunno what what causing the null output
[21:17] <n1x> BluesKaj, where should I ask about this? if you have any idea
[21:18] <BluesKaj> is there a bluetooth chat
[21:20] <n1x> i guess not.
[21:20] <BluesKaj> sluckxz,  but why would you need vdpau , anyway ?
[21:22] <sluckxz> htpc xbmc mith a micro http://www.aztekcomputers.com/prod_images/pi355/2395081l.jpg
[21:22] <sluckxz> giada n20 with kubuntu 11.10
[21:23] <sluckxz> plays slightly better video in kubuntu than winderz
[21:23] <BluesKaj> vdpau is installed with nvidia drivers by default , because I haven't installed it separately and it is installed on my system ...dunno why tho
[21:25] <BluesKaj> xbmc is ok , but it's just too overbearing ...tries to take over everything ...vlc works well as does dragon player
[21:26] <sluckxz> to each his own.  the library is powerful and works well with a remote plus library sharing with mysql for unification
[21:26] <JeroenDeDauw> I need to put my signature on some pdf, can this be done w/ one of the KDE apps?
[21:26] <JeroenDeDauw> *Kubuntu apps
[21:27] <sluckxz> some of my pcs are only connected to tv's
[21:27] <BluesKaj> sluckxz,  this pc is connected to a plasma tv . It's our HT media server
[21:28] <phoenix_firebrd> JeroenDeDauw: pdfedit
[21:28] <sluckxz> thats fine for you.  vlc and dragon player,  go for it.
[21:28] <phoenix_firebrd> JeroenDeDauw: try it before you actually use it
[21:28] <sluckxz> i prefer xbmc
[21:29] <phoenix_firebrd> sluckxz: xbmc is the best player for hd video
[21:29] <n1x> BluesKaj, got it working! :)
[21:29] <sluckxz> plus my wife and kids can run it with out screwing anything up.
[21:29] <n1x> the bluetooth daemon wasn't running! :P
[21:29] <sluckxz> nice n1x!
[21:30] <phoenix_firebrd> n1x:  i thought so, why didnt you try a restart?
[21:30] <BluesKaj> vlc plays all our hidef conten very well , no problems ...it's also excellent with DD and DTS audio
[21:30] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: but it takes a lot of cpu, mine is a old cpu
[21:30] <BluesKaj> n1x,  good , cxan you share your knowledge , in case we need it in future
[21:31] <BluesKaj> n1x,  :)
[21:31] <phoenix_firebrd> ya
[21:31] <n1x> phoenix_firebrd, actually i have disabled unnecessary services on boot, and bluetooth was one of them!
[21:31] <phoenix_firebrd> n1x: ha, nice
[21:31] <n1x> BluesKaj, yeah! that's why shared it ! :)
[21:31] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd,  not really , xbmc was the hog player on my setup
[21:32] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: really?
[21:32] <BluesKaj> yup
[21:32] <BluesKaj> n1x,  so you had a conflict
[21:32] <sluckxz> yea xbmc is def heavier than vlc
[21:33] <n1x> actually bluedvil should check whether the daemon is running or not. it didn't check at all.. just exited out
[21:33] <BluesKaj> ok  n1x , great , thanks for the info
[21:33] <n1x> BluesKaj, no conflict. i was trying just trial and error, tried every option.. and found it
[21:33] <muji8u> sup guys, so i tried installing nvidia graphics c ard right, and it messed up kubuntu
[21:34] <muji8u> it said like it couldn't connect to x server or something like that
[21:34] <muji8u> it was just in text mode
[21:34] <muji8u>  help please?
[21:35] <sluckxz> tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-current  ?
[21:35] <phoenix_firebrd> muji8u: did you install the driver using jockey?
[21:35] <BluesKaj> muji8u,  check kmenu>apps>system> additional drivers , install the recommended one
[21:35] <muji8u> oh i was trying to install the driver from  their website
[21:35] <phoenix_firebrd> muji8u: ok, BluesKaj and sluckxz will help
[21:35] <phoenix_firebrd> muji8u: thats the problem
[21:36] <muji8u> i thought it would be fsater :'(
[21:36] <BluesKaj> sluckxz,  that command only works if he sghuts down kdm , and installs it from the tty
[21:36] <muji8u> yea i was in tty1
[21:36] <muji8u> and i shut down kdm
[21:36] <phoenix_firebrd> muji8u: remove it and install the one from jockey
[21:36] <muji8u> jockey?
[21:37] <BluesKaj> mu yeah , the additional drivers path I posted above
[21:37] <phoenix_firebrd> muji8u:  its a driver installer app
[21:37] <muji8u> oh okay
[21:37] <phoenix_firebrd> ok i am going to restat to try a thing, brb
[21:38] <BluesKaj> anyway , it's dinnertime here ...gotta go ..
[21:38] <muji8u> which one should i use? theres 2
[21:38] <BluesKaj> the recommended one
[21:38] <sluckxz> haha i run the current one.. BluesKaj and i never agree.
[21:39] <BluesKaj> usually they're the same
[21:39] <muji8u> whats the difference really?
[21:39] <sluckxz> no their not
[21:39] <sluckxz> ;)  jj
[21:40] <BluesKaj> dinner...BBL
[21:40] <muji8u> aight thanks for the help, don't eat too much
[21:41] <muji8u> or else people are gonna ask if its a boy or a girl
[21:52] <muji8u> 1 question, y does linux try to limit u by only installing 1 software/driver at a time?
[21:54] <fdoving> muji8u: most drivers are included in the kernel, you don't really need to install drivers, unless you use some special kind of hardware.
[21:54] <muji8u> not just drivers tho, but like when also trying to install software, y does it only do 1 at a time?
[21:56] <fdoving> muji8u: which program are you using to do the installs?
[21:57] <muji8u> well like while i was doing sudo upgrade and  i downloaded chrome for their website, i had to wait till the upgrade was done
[21:57] <muji8u> it was package installer i think
[21:57] <fdoving> muji8u: ah, yes, you can only have one active "installation" running.
[21:58] <muji8u> yea lol i know that, but do u know why?
[21:58] <muji8u> just curious
[21:58] <fdoving> the dpkg database is locked by the first program to access is.
[21:58] <muji8u> okay, so sort of like a safety mechinsim
[21:59] <fdoving> yes, to prevent failures.
[21:59] <muji8u> smart.... smart....
[22:34] <muji8u> any1 have any idea as to how to install wow on kubuntu?
[22:54] <forevis> i cant use another login-screen theme, i can install, but when i go to choose the theme, just have one in the list
[22:54] <forevis> kde 4.8.1
[22:56] <muji8u> how do i put this to tray?
[23:01] <fdoving> forevis: try alt+f2 'kdesudo systemsettings' -> login manager - do it from there. probably some authentication issue.
[23:06] <forevis> fdoving,  do you know where the themes are installed?  when i go  login-screen -> theme tab -> get new theme -> select installed, there are a lot of theme installed, but them arent in the list to choose, i tried what you said, but no results
[23:06] <forevis> sorry my english
[23:08] <forevis> fdoving, i installed again, how you said and it works
[23:08] <forevis> as you said*
[23:08] <forevis> thanks
[23:14] <muji8u> how do i show hidden files/folders?
[23:16] <amason> in what ?
[23:18] <amason> muji8u: are you talking about dolphin ?
[23:18] <muji8u> yes
[23:18] <amason> well there is a setting which says "show hidden files" in the configuration menu
[23:19] <amason> is that not there on yours?
[23:19] <muji8u> u mean like in the properties?
[23:19] <amason> i am currently using 4.8.1 but i was sure it was there earlier
[23:19] <amason> no the configuration menu
[23:19] <amason> it has a wrench icon
[23:20] <muji8u> ah i see it now
[23:20] <muji8u> tnx
[23:26] <pillboxing> hey guys, I can't get network files to appear in open files in this application Im using
[23:28] <pillboxing> I added it to places, but the things I add to places aren't appearing in the open files menu
[23:35] <muji8u> um what do i do if accidenlty remove the thing in the bottom where it shows all my windows that are open
[23:36] <muji8u> nvm found it
[23:42] <pillboxing> so anyone in here with experience
[23:44] <frogonwheels> pillboxing: what application? is it kde based?
[23:46] <pillboxing> it's sublime text 2, and I'm not certain how to check
[23:46] <frogonwheels> pillboxing: in the about...
[23:46] <frogonwheels> pillboxing: did you try opening from inside dolphin?
[23:47] <pillboxing> opening the network share? or Sublime text 2?
[23:47] <frogonwheels> pillboxing: seems like kde will open it up as a tempfile and then prompt to store
[23:47] <frogonwheels> pillboxing: open up the network share in dolphiin and then edit the file using subline text 2
[23:47] <pillboxing> ahhh
[23:48] <pillboxing> it does open up
[23:48] <frogonwheels> pillboxing: unix/linux native network filesystem support works best if you mount the filesystem somewhere..
[23:48] <frogonwheels> pillboxing: if you want to use the kde network filesystem, youhave to have an app that will work with it - or use this workaround
[23:49] <pillboxing> I've been trying...can't get the thing to work
[23:50] <pillboxing> can't find a guide that works on editing fstab/mounting in terminal
[23:51] <pillboxing> mount -t //<IP_ADDRESS>/Scripts /media/LS cifs guest
[23:51] <pillboxing> doesn't work in cosole
[23:51] <pillboxing> oh, I ran that with sudo before it
