| Riddell | verden01: yes, no but I'm visiting next month | 12:27 |
| verden01 | cool | 12:27 |
| verden01 | whats kubuntu like? | 12:28 |
| coruja | kde-ubuntu :) | 12:29 |
| verden01 | lol i guessed that | 12:30 |
| coruja | maybe give kubuntu's live cd a try and experience yourself a bit :) | 12:31 |
| verden01 | i've instaled the original version of Ubuntu and am now upgrading to hoary and will then install the kubuntu-desktop | 12:32 |
| coruja | ah, ok | 12:32 |
| verden01 | i mainly use Libranet | 12:33 |
| coruja | as far as i know both kubuntu and ubuntu use the same ubuntu-base, so changing from one to another seems no problem... | 12:34 |
| === Kamion [~cjwatson@host81-153-126-219.range81-153.btcentralplus.com] has left #kubuntu [] | ||
| verden01 | thats my impression as well | 12:34 |
| verden01 | kubuntu is ubuntu with kde | 12:34 |
| verden01 | anyway i haven't used ubuntu x64 for a while and when i re-instaled it yesterday i had forgotton how fast it is | 12:35 |
| coruja | hehe | 12:35 |
| verden01 | when use add the universe repository you have a lot more great debian packages to choose from as well | 12:36 |
| coruja | rather the same reason here, being fed up with mepis and mandrake and their overweight installations by default... | 12:36 |
| coruja | though mepis' multimedia features are very nice... | 12:37 |
| verden01 | yeah you just add the packages you need | 12:37 |
| coruja | but >3gb of mepis vs ~1gb of kubuntu... ;) | 12:38 |
| verden01 | haven't used mepis for a while | 12:38 |
| verden01 | but agree that its a good distro | 12:38 |
| verden01 | yeah | 12:38 |
| verden01 | well ubuntu also have x64 which is great | 12:39 |
| coruja | ok, past midnight here, time for bed... :) | 12:39 |
| verden01 | ok bye its only 10 past 8am here | 12:40 |

| randabis | Hi kubuntuites :p | 01:37 |
| apokryphos | Hmm, I always thought of us as Kubuntunians. | 01:38 |
| apokryphos | 8) | 01:38 |
| Riddell | Kubuntish? | 01:40 |
| randabis | well, ymmv | 01:43 |
| randabis | I wish xcompmgr was stable :/ it was looking sweet | 01:44 |
| randabis | I can't afford to have my xserver crashing on me randomly :p | 01:44 |
| apokryphos | randabis: It's actually working pretty well here. | 01:45 |
| apokryphos | no crashes | 01:45 |
| apokryphos | Riddell: just wait till Kubuntu gets released. People are going to be asking for t-shirt and high-school cheerleaders are gonna be saying, "That's sooo kubuntish". | 01:46 |
| === apokryphos can picture it now | ||
| chavo | apokryphos, you don't have your t-shirt yet? | 01:47 |
| Curalton | and this channel will become just as crowded as ubuntu itself, effectively becoming useless :) | 01:47 |
| chavo | well it's pretty useless already, so no loss there :) | 01:47 |
| Riddell | Curalton: it does seem to be growing at about the rate that #ubuntu did | 01:48 |
| apokryphos | chavo: I thought they were out of stock? | 01:48 |
| Curalton | Riddell: oh, you track such things :) | 01:48 |
| apokryphos | It's double the size of oft-average of #mepis | 01:49 |
| apokryphos | I have no idea why the IRC is so small there (but even so, the few in there are very helpful). | 01:49 |
| randabis | apokryphos, what options are you using with xcompmgr if you don't mind my asking? | 01:55 |
| apokryphos | using kcontrol ones; one sec, I'll note some down | 01:55 |
| randabis | ah | 01:56 |
| randabis | the kcontrol ones for me seem to work fine for me too, but they are a little subtile imho | 01:56 |
| randabis | I like things a bit more pronounced (which is probably why it was crashing on me :p) | 01:56 |
| apokryphos | Subtile...? But they're fully configurable. | 01:56 |
| apokryphos | I didn't have any probs with using it via CLI | 01:57 |
| randabis | I couldn't get it to do this.... | 01:57 |
| randabis | xcompmgr -cCfF -r7 -o.65 -l-10 -t-8 -D7 & | 01:58 |
| apokryphos | heh | 01:58 |
| === downclimb [~johnson@host-69-145-229-49.cac-co.client.bresnan.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| apokryphos | will try that now | 01:58 |
| randabis | basically after a little while that would crash xcompmgr, and when I would try to restart it, xserver would die | 01:59 |
| apokryphos | what are the extra things that the command there provides? Recognise only a bit of it... | 01:59 |
| === apokryphos is running it out; waiting for a crash. ;) | ||
| randabis | it's a number of things...I'd have to ask my buddy what exactly everything there does...he suggested I try those settings | 02:00 |
| apokryphos | Haven't seen anything yet that kcontrol doesn't provide... | 02:00 |
| randabis | I probably just haven't played with the kcontrol effects enough...dunno | 02:02 |
| apokryphos | randabis: did you ever get that flash plugin to work on konqi? Sorry, couldn't talk so much at the time... | 02:05 |
| randabis | no, I didn't actually...I've just been using mozilla for now | 02:05 |
| apokryphos | ok, one sec | 02:06 |
| apokryphos | you definitely have ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so? | 02:08 |
| randabis | correct | 02:08 |
| apokryphos | and when you go to "Plugins", next to the "Scan" part, nothing is found? | 02:09 |
| randabis | it says "Netscape Plugins" | 02:09 |
| apokryphos | yup, under that | 02:10 |
| randabis | nothing is under there | 02:10 |
| apokryphos | ok, also, in the previous directory, flashplayer.xpt is also there? (trying to cover the little things) | 02:12 |
| randabis | yes | 02:12 |
| apokryphos | It worked fine for me first time, but my brother said he had problems when he did it; said there was another package he needed to add, and got the answer from #kde. So, it might be worth trying there again... | 02:13 |
| randabis | hmm | 02:14 |
| apokryphos | if no luck now, just try again later; one more thing: you have konqueror-nsplugins, right? | 02:18 |

| moominski | i really wanna learn it ya no? | 03:26 |
| apokryphos | that which kills me also feeds me ;) | 03:27 |
| apokryphos | sure :). The best way to learn, I think, is just playing around with it and reading a few guides; it really helps. | 03:28 |

| moominski | is gnome better | 04:10 |
| difekta | lol | 04:10 |
| randabis | moominski, depends on who you talk to | 04:11 |

| difekta | do you guys seriously not know i'm kidding? | 04:11 |
| === apokryphos wasn't | ||
| difekta | gnome is more appealling to the eye, but not as feature-rich. | 04:11 |
| randabis | I like kde 3.4 a lot better than the latest gnome personally | 04:11 |
| apokryphos | ;-) | 04:11 |
| apokryphos | difekta: I disagree; I find gnome real ugly, generally. | 04:11 |

| apokryphos | gaim? Heretic! | 04:13 |

| moominski | right | 04:23 |

| randabis | kdm is kde's display manager, gdm is gnome's, and is what you are currently using (your login screen) | 04:31 |

| moominski | root@Planisphere:/home/moominski # | 04:34 |
| moominski | am i finished? | 04:34 |
| apokryphos | moominski: why are you using root? ;-) | 04:34 |
| apokryphos | you are :) | 04:34 |
| moominski | i dont no | 04:34 |
| apokryphos | No need for root on Ubuntu -- use sudo. | 04:35 |
| moominski | i just use root teminal | 04:35 |
| moominski | is that wrong | 04:35 |
| apokryphos | oh, perhaps not then. | 04:35 |
| moominski | ok | 04:36 |
| randabis | root terminal is fine...it's like using sudo -s | 04:37 |

| apokryphos | cool :). Good to hear. | 04:45 |
| cartel_ | im just not sure whats gonna happen when i start folding in sarge sources ;) | 04:45 |
| cartel_ | ubuntu is completely its own distro yes? its not even derived from debian? | 04:46 |
| apokryphos | No, it is based on Debian. See: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/relationship/document_view | 04:47 |
| cartel_ | based on debian in that it uses .deb packages and apt | 04:47 |
| apokryphos | and a few other things, yes. | 04:47 |
| apokryphos | It's not part or directly affiliated with Debian, no. | 04:48 |

| carambol | i get for 1024 768 a Refrsh Rate *60. what tha means ? | 05:27 |
| delltony | means its set to 60 | 05:28 |
| delltony | the * means what its set as | 05:28 |
| benjanet | carambol, means you will get blind soon :D | 05:28 |
| carambol | but i cant change it in gui...the only option is 60 | 05:28 |
| delltony | *0 1680 x 1050 ( 569mm x 356mm ) *85 | 05:29 |
| randabis | virtually everything in ubuntuguide.org can be applied to kubuntu guys | 05:29 |
| delltony | like that means i'm running option 0 at 1680 by 1050 and a refresh rate of 85 | 05:29 |

| carambol | 1024x768 | 05:31 |
| carambol | and i need 85 | 05:31 |
| delltony | xrandr -r (rate) 85 | 05:31 |
| delltony | -r is for rate | 05:31 |
| carambol | ok | 05:32 |
| carambol | in root? | 05:32 |
| delltony | i do sudo | 05:33 |
| delltony | but root if youw ant | 05:34 |
| carambol | i get : Current serial number in output:12 | 05:37 |
| carambol | Serial number of failed request 12 | 05:37 |
| carambol | BadValue (integer out of range for operation | 05:40 |
| carambol | integer parameter | 05:40 |
| carambol | delltony? | 05:42 |
| delltony | you using hoary or warty? xfree86 used xrandr | 05:42 |
| delltony | hoary uses xorg | 05:42 |
| carambol | hoary | 05:42 |
| delltony | and you change it in the xorg.conf with the hsync and vsync | 05:43 |
| delltony | it takes the highest your monitor can support | 05:43 |
| delltony | like hsync 31.5-110 is what mine is set to | 05:43 |
| carambol | some hours a ago made an update for xorg | 05:43 |
| delltony | and vsync on mine is 29-90 | 05:43 |
| delltony | someone can correct me if i'mw rong | 05:43 |
| delltony | but thats how it works for me | 05:44 |
| delltony | it computes in that range the highest value it can use | 05:44 |
| delltony | and uses it | 05:44 |
| carambol | but all the time i used 85 | 05:44 |
| carambol | i will take a look at the man xrandr | 05:45 |
| carambol | maybe shortly there will an update correcting it | 05:46 |
| delltony | or you can try the good ol trick of ctrl alt "+" "-" | 05:46 |
| delltony | and it cycles the modes you have set | 05:46 |
| carambol | i will wait and look for upgrades | 05:47 |
| delltony | but to save you some time and not so technical ;) | 05:47 |

| carambol | ok many thx delltony | 05:48 |
| delltony | but the thign is | 05:48 |
| delltony | its reading the values from that xorg file | 05:49 |
| delltony | so if your hsync is set to only 60 | 05:49 |
| delltony | then thats all your gonna get | 05:49 |
| carambol | i try to change it: computer>Preferences>Resolution | 05:49 |
| carambol | but got only the 60 choice | 05:50 |
| delltony | right | 05:50 |
| delltony | like i told you | 05:50 |
| carambol | in Gnome | 05:50 |
| delltony | well gnome im not up to par on | 05:50 |
| delltony | but i know its reading from that xorg.conf file | 05:50 |
| carambol | try it now in kde | 05:50 |
| carambol | cu | 05:51 |
| carambol | (B)(B) | 05:51 |
| delltony | if he ever comes back tell him he needs to have a look at modeline in the xorg.conf file | 05:52 |

| Sevensins | Good morning everybody | 09:28 |
| Sevensins | is someone here able to answer a question? | 09:29 |
| hayden | hi | 09:29 |
| Sevensins | i know itsearlyin the morning somewhere on this planet | 09:29 |
| Sevensins | hey m8 | 09:29 |
| Sevensins | could you inform me a bit on kubuntu | 09:30 |
| Sevensins | i wanna know if there is a DVD image available for downloading | 09:30 |
| Sevensins | im not really interested in CD +updates cos where iwillgo soon there is no Internet | 09:31 |
| underlord | i havent heard of any dvd image | 09:32 |
| underlord | you could make one | 09:32 |
| Sevensins | but how? | 09:33 |
| Sevensins | im not so into the arch. of Linux im what you would call an end-user | 09:33 |
| underlord | kubuntu-live package probably has everything you need, im not sure on the procedure, one of the dev's would know | 09:33 |
| underlord | aah | 09:33 |
| underlord | oops, not live, you dont want live | 09:34 |
| Sevensins | screeming out cos of shock? | 09:34 |

| hayden | lol | 09:34 |
| underlord | you cant just install it from the internet before you go offline? | 09:34 |
| Sevensins | no i want a full DVD so i can add packages later when im on tour | 09:34 |
| Sevensins | as in ill go for tripping about europe | 09:35 |
| underlord | you could have a look on the www for information on creating debian package cd's, it mightnt be too hard to mirror one of the online repositories on disk | 09:35 |
| Sevensins | so that means to me i have the install CD and maybe two further package DVDs after doing | 09:37 |
| hayden | package dvds? | 09:37 |
| underlord | yep | 09:37 |
| Sevensins | <-knows that the universe and multiverse is about 6 gig big | 09:37 |
| Sevensins | wanna know some funny? | 09:38 |
| hayden | you would really need every application? | 09:38 |
| Sevensins | currently upgrading to KDE desktop | 09:38 |
| Sevensins | no but for graphics software to work its better having every.. | 09:39 |
| Sevensins | these dependencies ..... tztztz | 09:39 |
| underlord | you could just install all of the packages ubuntu has to offer :P | 09:39 |
| underlord | your system would probably become a paperweight though | 09:40 |
| Sevensins | thats what im later on gonna do but for now i have an Internet conection and i can download now not later | 09:40 |

| lunitik | s/button/mouse button/ | 11:45 |
| Pointwood | k | 11:46 |
| lunitik | Pointwood: KDE has pretty much thought of everything... and why? because its written for the devels to use, not for a moron to use :P | 11:46 |
| Pointwood | hehe | 11:46 |
| Pointwood | it is kinda cluttered when you come from ubuntu ;) | 11:47 |
| lunitik | Pointwood: eh... I'd disagree... it used to be though... | 11:47 |
| lunitik | Pointwood: if anything... too much is hidden these days. | 11:47 |
| Pointwood | :) | 11:48 |
| Pointwood | matter of preference I guess | 11:48 |
| lunitik | For instance... who knew you could put _any_ app in your System Tray? | 11:48 |
| Pointwood | not I :) | 11:48 |
| Pointwood | one thing I hate is that some apps aren't well integrated into the environment | 11:49 |
| lunitik | Pointwood: in the run dialoge... type 'ksystraycmd konsole' ... one of my favorate things to put in there :) | 11:49 |
| lunitik | same for konversaton... but not so much :/ | 11:49 |
| lunitik | Pointwood: _every_ kde app is... and with gtk2-engines-gtk-qt, as are any gtk apps... (like firefox etc) | 11:50 |
| lunitik | Although, Kynaptic stands out by a mile... | 11:50 |
| Pointwood | I use xchat instead of konversation | 11:50 |
| lunitik | Pointwood: then you should 'apt-get install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt' (its in universe) ... and ensure GTK apps use QT theme... | 11:51 |

| azad | sounded so gnome-like since it's gnom ad | 05:38 |
| randabis | it's probably a gtk app | 05:41 |
| randabis | it should work if you have gnome libraries installed | 05:41 |
| azad | hm i don't | 05:42 |
| randabis | you installed kubuntu from cd probably and that's why | 05:42 |
| azad | well.. what are those gtk things i need? | 05:42 |
| azad | no, i installed ubuntu | 05:43 |
| azad | but doesn't matter now i think :) | 05:43 |
| randabis | if you installed ubuntu, then you should have the necessary gtk stuff | 05:43 |
| azad | i think i removed it | 05:43 |
| randabis | you'd need to remove A LOT of packages to do that | 05:43 |
| azad | thought something like "ahh got kde running now, no need for gtk" | 05:44 |
| randabis | removing ubuntu-desktop doesn't remove any ubuntu packages if that's what you did | 05:44 |
| azad | that wasn't | 05:44 |
| azad | just some thing when i did dist-upgrade i saw | 05:44 |
| azad | however, i don't have those things.. what do i need? | 05:45 |

| azad | the gtk package i mean | 05:45 |
| apokryphos | gsuveg: kcontrol | 05:45 |
| randabis | libgtk2 probably | 05:45 |
| azad | mh okay thanks | 05:45 |
| azad | libgtk2.0-dev - Development files for the GTK+ library | 05:46 |
| randabis | the gnomad program should tell you what dependencies are required | 05:46 |
| randabis | or the documentation for it rather | 05:47 |
| azad | No package 'gtk+-2.0' found <- tells this | 05:47 |

| ncterval | Hello, I have a Debian Unstable desktop that I've been running for a few years that I'd like to transform into Kubuntu (I want X.org and KDE 3.4 :) Can you do that smoothly by just changing repositories and apt-get upgrading? | 05:52 |
| apokryphos | do3cc: interesting; so, do you need to just alter that variable to change your default console editor? | 05:52 |
| do3cc | yes. right now I am looking where it is defined on my system | 05:52 |
| apokryphos | ncterval: smoothly: unlikely. It is not recommended, but there have been a few success stories. | 05:52 |
| ncterval | apokryphos: OK, is there another way short of reformating? | 05:53 |
| do3cc | ncterval: I did that a month ago. I had to fix some minor problems then it worked. But I did a complete reinstall last week. was better solution | 05:53 |
| do3cc | ncterval: How do you want to ensure that there is not some debian package left which assumes it is on a debian system, and suddenly ubuntu uses some other parts for some thiings | 05:54 |
| lunitik | ncterval: add 'deb http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu hoary main restricted universe multiverse' to sources.list ... apt-get update && apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 05:54 |
| do3cc | ncterval: How do you want to ensure that there is not some debian package left which assumes it is on a debian system, and suddenly ubuntu uses some other directory structure for some thiings | 05:54 |
| ncterval | Is it possible to keep /etc and /home if I were to install Kubuntu, and would that keep my current configuration? | 05:55 |
| randabis | if /home is on a separate partition, then it shouldn't be too hard | 05:56 |
| apokryphos | You can keep your /home, sure (you'll likely have to alter .kde etc), but your /etc -- well, not really. Ubuntu's would be different. | 05:56 |
| do3cc | ncterval: I believe nobody would like to give you a guarantee for that. Personally I would risk it. But not for business machines | 05:56 |
| do3cc | ncterval: You might try to keep a copy of etc and check for difference between old etc and ubuntu base config. probably you changed only some configs and most stay same. So you need to configure everything by hand | 05:57 |
| lunitik | ncterval: right now... the packages you want are larger version numbers than on your system... just do what I said.... | 05:58 |
| ncterval | Having to reconfigure everything (if I lose /etc) isn't a huge deal, but my /home isn't on a seperate partition and is too big to backup. No way to keep that? | 05:59 |
| ncterval | lunitik: Is it safe to just install Kubuntu's KDE and X.Org, and leave everything else Debian? | 05:59 |
| do3cc | ncterval: should not be a problem | 05:59 |
| do3cc | ncterval: should not be a problem with your /home | 06:00 |
| lunitik | ncterval: feasible... note that some packages will be newer in Sid... when I tracked both for a while... I encountered a few issues... | 06:00 |
| lunitik | ncterval: hoary froze a while ago to stabalize the Sid packages... | 06:00 |
| je4d | Riddell: cool, it worked (: | 06:00 |
| je4d | Riddell: my 15yo brother is now running hoary preview | 06:00 |
| ncterval | lunitik: What sort of problems might I have? | 06:01 |
| lunitik | ncterval: I had a lot of dependency issues... things of that nature... | 06:01 |
| ncterval | lunitik: Those can be resolved by relying on a few more Kubuntu packages, right? | 06:02 |
| lunitik | ncterval: mainly packages requiring exact versioning numbers... and apt getting confused it seemed like... | 06:02 |
| randabis | just editing your repositories to include hoary will not cause you to lose /home | 06:02 |
| randabis | you should make a backup of /etc though | 06:02 |
| apokryphos | randabis: yes, I think his question was concerning doing a full new install of kubuntu | 06:03 |
| lunitik | ncterval: nothing peticularly serious... and it took away some Ubuntu customizations, not a bad thing... | 06:03 |
| apokryphos | (though) | 06:03 |
| randabis | yes, that's what I thought too, but then I got a little confused | 06:03 |
| randabis | So I mentioned that | 06:03 |
| lunitik | ncterval: because I know where KDE starts out... finding out what Kubuntu configured, and going from there was a hassle :( | 06:03 |
| ncterval | apokryphos: Yes, thanks for clearing that up. | 06:03 |
| ncterval | Alright, I'll try installing KDE from Kubuntu. Thanks a lot for the help. | 06:04 |
| lunitik | ncterval: worse case scenario... something breaks... and you install Kubuntu... | 06:04 |
| apokryphos | But that still shouldn't really be a problem; backing up your /home that is. | 06:04 |
| randabis | in the future I would always perform the practice of keeping a separate /home partition | 06:04 |
| apokryphos | ncterval: be sure to let us know how it goes ;) | 06:05 |
| je4d | Riddell: what's the state of kde-i18-engb for kubuntu? | 06:12 |
| ncterval | Hmmm... kubuntu-desktop seems to depend on a few hundred packages that seem unrelated to KDE. | 06:13 |
| lunitik | ncterval: just apt-get dist-upgrade then... | 06:14 |
| randabis | because kubuntu-desktop is a meta package that installs a full kubuntu desktop from scratch | 06:15 |
| lunitik | ncterval: if anything looks funky... remove your ~/.kde dir... | 06:15 |
| ncterval | randabis: Oh, is there a metapackage to just install KDE? | 06:15 |
| lunitik | ncterval: mainly stated because "KDE has strange colours and symbols everywhere" is a known issue... | 06:16 |

| Curalton | still suboptimal fontwise, but will do | 07:22 |
| ncterval | Did you install gtk-qt? Its KControl module lets you select a font. | 07:23 |
| Curalton | yes, now everything is nicely styled lipstik-kde wise | 07:23 |
| Curalton | still this theme seems to pick the wrong kde fonttype | 07:24 |
| Curalton | or maybe the gnome control center really uses monospace | 07:24 |
| ncterval | Again, did you look at the KControl module? You can choose to use any fonts you wish. | 07:24 |
| Curalton | yes, i saw the gnome font/style selector. and had it at "use kde ones", choosing my own fonts ruins the principle of integration | 07:26 |

| ExoBuZz | hello.. i have a big problem with installing kubuntu. im getting an error on vim-common during installation of the base system. (syslog says the deb is corrupt). i have burnt the image (downloaded from cdimage.ubuntu.com) twiece, and md5sum'd it and it matches the md5sums on the cdimage site... | 09:38 |
| buz | mhh worked for me | 09:38 |
| buz | how about not installing vim? | 09:38 |
| buz | and then apt-getting it? | 09:38 |
| ExoBuZz | how can i get it to skip vim during the installation ? | 09:39 |
| ExoBuZz | using the hoary install cd | 09:39 |
| buz | mhh i don't really know to be honest ;-) | 09:39 |
| buz | 5.04 installed for me just fine | 09:39 |
| ExoBuZz | i think the cd image is corrupt ? or its just broken. i mean what else could it be ? | 09:40 |

| apokryphos | buz: that is the preview | 09:41 |
| apokryphos | :P | 09:41 |
| ExoBuZz | but ive md5sum'd my local version. and it matches.. ? | 09:41 |

| ztonzy | apokryphos, fine thanks...all important things are done for today...now relaxing | 09:42 |
| ExoBuZz | ok so a workaround - i need to tell the install system to ignore vim.. any ideas ? | 09:42 |
| apokryphos | ztonzy: coool. I wish I could say the same. ;-) Only done an hour or so of work. | 09:42 |
| apokryphos | ExoBuZz: I have no idea how that's done; you might try in #ubuntu, since it'll be done in the same way for Ubuntu. | 09:43 |
| ExoBuZz | ill grep /etc to see for a start | 09:43 |
| ztonzy | apokryphos, even had to go and fix my sisters computer...some error there...I couldnt even run knoppix...either 3.6/3.7 weird....but somehow I manage to fix it | 09:43 |

| mdblitz1 | how do I make kubuntu start my wlan0 interface when it boots? | 10:30 |
| mdblitz1 | rightn now I always have to wait until kubuntu boots and then doing an ifconfig wlan0 up | 10:31 |
| apokryphos | ExoBuZz: Ok; hopefully that'll do it. | 10:31 |
| apokryphos | Is anyone else having problems with kdeaccessibility? More specifically, with KTTSD stuff. | 10:32 |
| apokryphos | Running that crashes it, trying to configure it from kcontrol crashes it. In fact, it's pretty hard to not crash it. | 10:33 |
| techlord-work | what is the easiest way to set up wireless in kubuntu. I've tried kwifimanger but that don't seem towork, and thru the control center there is no way to adde a wep password. | 10:33 |
| mdblitz1 | techlord-work: iwconfig | 10:33 |
| ExoBuZz | apokryphos: im concered about the corruption. it means either the cd image on the server is damaged (but as you say others have used it).. or my cd writing software is completely shite and bugs out! | 10:34 |
| apokryphos | ExoBuZz: That seems to be the two options, but I dunno. If you've got CDs to spare, and reasonable bandwidth you might try downloading Ubuntu ISO, or perhaps another version of Kubuntu | 10:35 |
| mdblitz1 | how do I make kubuntu start my wlan0 interface when it boots? | 10:35 |
| techlord-work | so i should just write a shell script and run that every time? or manually add that to the interfaces file. on a related note when i come out of hibernation my wireless doesn't' come back and neither does my keyboard. | 10:35 |
| === spiral [~pgarcia@82.224.249.43] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| mdblitz1 | techlord-work: is your problem with losing your wireless everytime you restart? | 10:36 |
| ExoBuZz | apokryphos: bandwidth is not brilliant. but i will get the official release in april. im now booting into teh base system. so ebverything is good.. | 10:36 |
| mdblitz1 | if so, thats what I'm trying to figure out now too | 10:36 |
| apokryphos | ExoBuZz: Yeah, it's not too far away anyhow. | 10:36 |
| ExoBuZz | apokryphos: you know, i wasnt really planning on installing kubuntu. but a reiser4 partition completely broke on my debian syste, | 10:36 |
| techlord-work | no restarting works great i just had to manually edit the interfaces file, i was just hoping there was a easier way. no i only loose wireless and keyboard when i come out of hibernation, btw my mouse still works | 10:37 |
| apokryphos | ExoBuZz: Ubuntu is very good :), and all comments I've seen from Debian converts have all been very agreeable. | 10:37 |
| ExoBuZz | i decided to switch. im also fed up eith waiting for sarge, x.org Xserver, and i want latest kde :D | 10:37 |

| ExoBuZz | apokryphos: i dont want to start a gnome/kde fight (but im on the right channel for my side of the argument im sure), but does anyone else here find that with a simple theme, qt is a lot faster than gtk 2? | 10:44 |
| ExoBuZz | i didnt mean to direct that to you. that was a general thing | 10:44 |
| apokryphos | I find KDE in general much faster than Gnome, but I find gnome-devoutees saying the same but vice versa. :-) | 10:44 |
| ExoBuZz | i mean.. i can see complicated gnome gui's drawing themselves.. but not with qt | 10:45 |

| Roey | what's complicated about that? | 10:46 |
| Roey | can you describe the problems you experience with scrolling lists in KDE? | 10:46 |
| ExoBuZz | roey. yeh and its slow.. so.. simple gtk gui's are slow then if you prefer :-) | 10:46 |
| Roey | Or in Qt rather? | 10:46 |
| ExoBuZz | scrolling on qt is instant | 10:46 |
| Roey | (*it's) | 10:46 |
| Roey | oh, ok | 10:46 |
| Roey | hmm | 10:46 |
| Roey | on which GTK apps do you find scrolling to be slow? | 10:47 |
| ExoBuZz | it feels like more of qt is hardware accellerated | 10:47 |
| Roey | ah | 10:47 |
| ExoBuZz | than with gtk | 10:47 |
| ExoBuZz | anything with what i would call a "listview" dont know the actual widget name | 10:47 |
| Roey | somehow I feel like it's an issue that will melt away once we're all using GL for a backend. | 10:47 |
| Roey | or if not GL then some other hardware-3d layer | 10:47 |
