[00:00] arrrghhh: that's what i meant with "advanded". I configured the window to open with a specific size but this setting is ignored (KDE 4.2, Intrepid [00:00] ads, you set this in the "Window Behavior" in system settings? [00:01] arrrghhh: hmm, no, i click in the upper left window icon -> Advanced -> Special settings for this program [00:01] ads, try that. [00:01] you can set window geometry among other things for ANY window. [00:01] arrrghhh: i did that, checked the "size" and selected "use at init" [00:02] ads, no i mean in the window behavior in system settings. [00:02] arrrghhh: i just want it for "konsole", i want to start the konsole window not fullscreen [00:02] good lord. you can set it for just konsole [00:02] you can set it for just firefox [00:02] it's WINDOW SPECIFIC. [00:03] Where can I find the official md5 sum for kubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386.iso? [00:03] or you can set global settings. [00:03] Tirili, where you downloaded it i assume... although k3b does automatic md5 sums. [00:03] arrrghhh: hey, stop blaming me. The same options you told me to try appear in the system settings [00:03] ads, i'm not "blaming" you. you're not listening to me. [00:04] or reading me? whatever. [00:04] arrrghhh: so it seems i can use both ways - and i just tried: both aren't working [00:04] hrm [00:04] i dunno then. i'd turn off whatever settings you have configured in konsole [00:04] What do you mean with "k3b does automatic md5 sums"? Does k3b look up the original md5 sum in the internet? [00:04] i've always used the window specific settings within system settings, and they've always worked great. there's a lot of settings in there, make sure you're configuring it correctly. [00:05] arrrghhh: just tried that, if i add the setting with the "advanced" menu it just saves the settings to the window specific sttings you mentioned. [00:05] Tirili, i assume it's in the iso, it's always done md5 sums for me automatically. [00:05] Ah [00:05] ads, well then i don't know. you're either configuring something wrong or there's a bug... but i've never had a problem with it. like i said, there's a lot of settings in there, make sure you're configuring it correctly. [00:06] arrrghhh: tried anything out. The kubuntu guys told me the advances menu in Chemnitz today. [00:07] And they also told me the "size" setting should be what i want ;-) [00:07] i don't know what that means, so i guess i'm out of ideas. i've never had an issue with it. [00:08] Hm. I didn't understand it. :( What is it, what k3b gives me? Is it the md5 sum of the .iso file as it is lying on my harddisk or is it the "should-be"-md5-sum? [00:08] Because there is an option "compare with another sum", I think, it cannot be the should-be-one. [00:09] Tirili, i don't understand what the issue is. when you pop the md5 into k3b (with the intention of burning) it always does and md5 checksum for me. [00:09] but you should be able to find the md5 from where you downloaded the iso. [00:09] arrrghhh: it works very well if i use "enforce", the konsole window is always enforced to the configured size. [00:09] arrrghhh: just when i use "at initialisation" (or whatever the translation might be) it's not working. [00:10] ads, like i said, there's A LOT of settings in there. window class, window role, etc [00:10] so check "ignore requested geometry" [00:11] arrrghhh: yes, i know and i see. "enforce" does not allow me to change the size - so the window class is correct. [00:11] thank you anyway [00:11] Tirili, sorry. [00:11] ah well [00:11] ads: if i change window size for konsole window, then settings - current profile... apply. it opens in that new size. [00:11] ads, there's another setting in the "workarounds" tab - ignore requested geometry. [00:13] hix: yes - as long as i don't change the window size. If i change the window size the next window is opened in the new size. [00:14] ads: ah, now i know what u mean, didnt get that first, sry [00:14] oh, fine, and is there a solution? ;-) [00:14] ads, so force always is not desirable? [00:15] arrrghhh: tried all settings, no change [00:15] *trying [00:15] you said it works on force always... [00:15] arrrghhh: ah, mom, i tried all the settings in the last tab for "ignore requested geometry" - that's not working [00:16] you are truly frustrating and obviously not giving me enough informations. [00:16] *information [00:16] arrrghhh: no, enforce isn't a workaround for me. Sometimes i want more small windows, sometimes i want fullscreen windows. [00:16] can't type faster, sorry ;-) [00:16] yea, you're frustrating. i don't know what to tell you, i could get it to work for me [00:17] hello people [00:17] not about fast typing [00:17] i want to update my system and i am getting error [00:17] arrrghhh: i'm happy if that works for you, but obviously it isn't working for me. [00:18] well that's great. you're doing something wrong. you're not giving me enough info. so i can't help you, sorry. [00:18] http://pastebin.com/d654ac676 [00:18] hix: what are you trying exactly?

Does it work? [00:21] not yet [00:21] hix: so if you resize the konsole it uses the new size for the next konsole window? [00:22] yes [00:22] arrrghhh: http://pastebin.com/d126c7a3d [00:22] hix: so i'm doing something wrong. Just that i don't know what i'm doing wrong ... [00:23] what is the command in shell to update system? [00:23] i use kde 4.2.1, maybe they fixed it there [00:24] hix: intrepid with intrepid kde updates from kubuntu-experimental [00:24] wizardslovak, hrm... i don't see anything off. you can use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" [00:24] hix: no new updates available (for me) [00:24] ads: i use jaunty [00:24] wizardslovak, but you may want to try a different main repo... i can't remember how to do it, you may have to use synaptic. [00:25] hix, how is it? [00:25] nvm, g2g [00:25] hix: hmm [00:25] hix: at least you can confirm the problem ... [00:25] ok its downloading 160mbs lol [00:26] arrrghhh: great so far, besides some nepomuk crashes at kde start [00:26] does anyone of you use 3d cube?? i forgot keyboard keys [00:27] wizardslovak: ctrl-f11 oder mousewheel on desktop [00:27] nah i think it was something else [00:27] shift+ something and then mouse [00:27] at least in 4.2.1 ;) [00:28] ctrl-alt-arrows in compiz [00:28] yea thats the one [00:28] thx man [00:28] jeez i wasnt on kubuntu for about month and already forgot [00:29] so whats up people? === m4v is now known as m4v-test === m4v-test is now known as m4v === m4v is now known as m4v-test === m4v-test is now known as m4v [00:34] ads: if i klick left-top konsole window - advanced - special settings for this windows - size - at init ... it works. opens in that size every time now, even if i resize in between [00:35] hix: i tried exactly this setting - doesn't work. But i'm still on 8.10 ... [00:38] ads: at least u know, it will work, when 4.2.1 is in backports ;) [00:38] hix: hrhr ;-) [00:40] a newbie q: how do i find all .txt files under /home/myhome/ [00:40] using bash command [00:41] tanjir: ls /home/myhome/*.txt [00:41] hix: recursively? [00:41] tanjir: if you want to search in the subdirectories too, then: find /home/myhome/ -iname '*.txt' [00:42] LjL: sweet.. that is what i was looking for :D [00:42] thanks :D [00:42] tanjir: don't forget the quotes [00:42] LjL: awesome.. it worked :) [00:44] tanjir: ls -R *.txt is also a choice ;) [00:44] hix: that doesn't work for me [00:45] yah, find is better here. ls will stop, if theres no .txt file in start directory [00:46] 'ls' won't list .txt files in subdirectories at all, unless the subdirectories themselves are named *.txt [00:47] right, my fault. [00:49] so now i got all the txt files... for example if i want to remove only the .txt files do i pipe with rm command? [01:00] tanjir: find /home/myhome/ -iname '*.txt' -exec rm -f {} \; (test it, i have a bad day ;)) [01:05] hix: okay... testing [01:07] hi [01:08] hi everybody [01:09] hello kurumin [01:10] where u from? === kurumin is now known as Sir === Sir is now known as Sir-Rafael [01:11] kubuntu?

[05:35] I'm trying to visualise my new office [05:38] eatThisAndDie: it is hard to say if you not give even minimal info about what software you try to use. You have to agree with that ... if it is windows software you can try to use wine, but many times that won't work. [05:40] Well.... i cant really say much bout the windows equivalent. Seeing as i never used one, but google pointed me to Realtime Landscaping Pro [05:40] hrm [05:41] Also i generally Don't use wine.... So running a windows application off wine would definitely not be my first choice [05:41] eatThisAndDie: which "Runs on Windows XP and Vista. " [05:42] Slartibartfast: yeah apparently it does, but I have neither... [05:42] eatThisAndDie: Me neither [05:43] never used software like this [05:43] I'm just seeing what are the options in Linux thats all, its not crucial for me to have one, just curious [05:44] Well there is software to compose 3D objects ... but what i am thinking of is quiet complicated to learn how to use ... [05:45] Hmm... just found out that this kinda software is called "Landscape design software" [05:45] Wikipedia is no real help there, [05:46] But you said you wanted to visualize your new office ... does that mean outside + building ? ... or inside + placing of furniture? [05:47] inside - placing of furniture [05:47] why? Is there a difference?
