salvad1Hello. I cannot set dofferent zoom parameters to folders.01:39
salvad1Is this normal in Dolphin?01:39
salvad1I mean, set some zoom value to one folder and other to other folder and that each folder remembers its zoom value.01:40
salvad1Is that possible?01:40
james_lWhat do you mean by zoom?01:42
tranzform2ok where is the list of channels...  sorry very newb here01:42
clone1018okay so I stoped kdm. Did Xorg -configure and then started KDM. Now when graphical mode starts it loads then turns into a blank screen01:42
salvad1Applying a zoom value to the a folder in dolphin.01:42
james_lsalvad1: If it's what I was trying to find the solution to, which is large icons in detail mode, this worked for me (mostly I use konqueror): Ctrl + Mouse Wheel, and it's stayed the same in all folders.01:43
salvad1To see bigger thumbnails icons.01:43
salvad1I do not want the same zoom value in all the folder.01:44
james_lI think that may work, try it and see.01:44
james_lHrm01:44
salvad1Each value to each folder.01:44
clone1018Can someone please help lol. Console mode sucks01:46
james_lsalvad1: While my ctrl + mousewheel works to change that, it doesn't seem to want to be confined to a particular folder.01:47

james_lclone1018: do you mean the KDE UI or the KDM login window?02:45
clone1018I set it to auto login. So it logs me in. Then the splash screen pops up. Loads then the bg goes away and all I am left with is cursor and black screen02:45
DaughainThats why I keep gnome, and dont auto login...02:46
clone1018but kde is awesome02:47
clone1018Gnome is boring lol02:47
DaughainI agree, but, when I screw up kde, I can backup to gnome, and usualy get kde fixed. =)02:47
DaughainONly had to do a kde reinstall once, so far. =)\02:47
clone1018is it that buggy?02:47
DaughainNO, I'm that new. =)02:48

clone1018:/03:09
clone101810th time restarting03:09
e_t_I don't know how to get the UUID either. If you find it, you should be able to add an fstab entry with a mount point of /home and that *should* make it a permanent mount.03:09
jacquesdupontdhi guys03:10
e_t_clone1018: what version of Kubuntu, of KDE?03:11
ev0sx1yes i know... and getting the blkid command is also easy03:11

jacquesdupontdthat said i'm searching for a kubuntu version to be used smoothly with fingers and touch screen only03:11
clone1018But i think its the newest03:12
e_t_clone1018: one way to find out your KDE version is to open a KDE app (dolphin, konsole, konqueror) and click about > about KDE.03:12

Daughain4.3.2 is what I installed last month.....03:22
DaughainBut., I didnt know 4.4 was officially released yet.03:23
e_t_KDE 4.4 was released two weeks ago (time?), but you'd have to get it from the kubuntu backports ppa. It's not Ubuntu official, and won't be until Lucid.03:24
clone1018_So what do I do...03:25
Daughaine_t_: Ah, ok. I knew it was slated for lucid, but didnt know they actualy released on backports...03:25
DaughainAlso been busy wth other things the last few weeks.03:26
clone1018_So... I just wait03:27
e_t_If you want to upgrade to 4.4, type "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports" (no quotes), then do the update/upgrade cycle.03:29
DaughainNah, waiting on lucid for a variety of reasons. =)03:32

=== john is now known as Guest60264
daI guess,03:34
dadoes that work?03:35
e_t_There's no special equipment to connect a Windows and a Linux computer, it's all in the configuration.03:35
daAnd how does that work?03:36
e_t_It depends on what you're planning to do.03:36
daDon't know what I want to do, I would like to have a new computer with windows XP, but I still like Linux.03:39
e_t_The easiest way to network them is to setup static IP addresses (set 192.168.0.2 on one and 192.168.0.3 on the other). Then, you'll need to setup Samba on the Linux machine. That will give you the ability to share files.03:41
daIs Sanba a linux OS?03:43
clone1018_Samba is a file sharing server03:43
e_t_No. It's a program that lets Linux share files with Windows.03:43
daDoes Ubuntu have it on its OS?03:44
e_t_You can install it easily.03:44
daokay, I'll go look. ty03:45
clone1018I upgraded to the newest version03:51
clone1018Still no UI03:51
e_t_plasma still crashing if you start it manually?03:51
clone1018yes03:53
e_t_Hmm. I checked Google, but didn't find much helpful. The first step is always delete ~/.kde/share/config/*plasma*rc. Some people had it work for them and for some, it didn't. I don't know what to tell you. The last time I had a plasma issue like that, I ended up re-installing (because I usually messed up other stuff too).03:56
clone1018i guess I will reinstall then03:56

geniiGuest99213:  You can generate an xorg.conf by: logout to gdm ... choose "console login" as session type. Once logged into console, stop X: sudo stop gdm         then generate a new xorg: sudo X -configure       then copy it to where it should be: sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11      then restart gdm: sudo start gdm06:09
Guest99213ok ty06:10

e_t_agb: is the network you are trying to connect to password protected? Did you enter the password?06:11
jacquesdupontdhey guys06:12
jacquesdupontdim sorry to be asking that but i'm trying to add xinerama to an xorgserver X11 that has built without it06:13
jacquesdupontdhow can i do that ? am i obliged to recompile ?06:13
agbyes i've written the password of each network but never connect there is something i didn't say: kde can connect with a cable network only the wireless have problems :S06:14
e_t_agb: If you log into the Gnome desktop, does it work right?06:16
BugsbaneAnyone know what version of Koffice will be in Kubuntu 10.04? Feature freeze is today and it's still at 2.0.2, while even Kubuntu 9.10 has Koffice 2.1...06:19
agbyes in gnome there is no problem, i don't think that the  problem is a driver because in kde the network manager find the wireless networks but even when i select one and in the new window i put the net info there is still waiting for connection and never connect06:19
e_t_agb: Hmm. I researched your problem, and a few people on the forums suggest trying wicd (sudo apt-get install wicd).06:23
agbi can install it in gnome and no problem?06:24
agbso when i have installed it i log in kde06:25
agb?06:25
e_t_wicd does not depend on any desktop. you could use it in kde, gnome, xfce...06:25

AzikaCorpAnubis: I installed plasma-desktop and plasma-desktopthemes-artwork, and no problem anymore12:42
Anubisi see. i asked because i want to know if it is ok to try it without messing my kde box12:43
Lantizia1Hey! any KDE/Firefox users here?12:45
AzikaCorpyes12:45
Lantizia1I'm curious to know if when you go to a save/open dialog box - if you get a GTK/Gnome one or a Qt/KDE one12:45
AzikaCorpLantizia1: KDE one12:46
Lantizia1interesting - but it's the same Firefox package that a normal Ubuntu (gnome) user would install right?12:47
AzikaCorpLantizia1: of course ^^12:47
Lantizia1so what lets firefox know it should launch the KDE file chooser?12:48
Lantizia1or is firefox just happens to be both kde and gnome "aware" and checks itself?12:48
AzikaCorpLantizia1: there's a gnome package and a KDE package12:51
Lantizia1you just confirmed they're the same12:51
Lantizia1AzikaCorp: ?12:54
AzikaCorpLantizia1: in this case, KDE take care about that12:59
AzikaCorpLantizia1: all this is possible thanks to the modularity of linux13:01

shadowhywindhay all, i did a  bunch of upgrades a few days ago, to KDE 4.4 I believe. Now after a min the monitor goes off. Theres even time, when I am doing stuff, it will blink off for a second. Any ideas?13:34
lalalolVge, yeah, thats system activity, i want system monitor, then i can watch my cpu and swap and ram13:35
BluesKajlalalol, have you explored kmenu apps at all ...look around before asking ppl to hold your hand at every turn13:39

Vroomfondleyeah, done that14:17
Vroomfondlewill do it again to be sure14:17
shadeslayerVroomfondle: the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade14:17
VroomfondleAh, that worked. I wonder why aptitude safe-upgrade didn't do it.14:18
Vroomfondleperhaps it considers this option unsafe ;)14:18

drostiehave recent aptitude updates broken Alt-F2 for any other users out there, or just me? :<14:42
shadeslayerdrostie: i can use krunner fine14:44
drostieshadeslayer: from alt-f2? I can use it fine from right-clicking on my desktop, but that's not the same. :<14:44
shadeslayerdrostie: try running krunner in a konsole14:45
drostieshadeslayer: that's also fine. it's the keybinding that's messed up for me.14:46
shadeslayerdrostie: oh.... K > System settings > Keyboard and mouse14:46
drostieD: i think I found part of the problem. Keys bound to "Meta" are no longer the same as keys bound to "Alt." :x14:47
n8w1ngcan i resize a swap partition without using any live cd?14:47
drostien8w1ng: presumably by using swapoff and then resizing it with gparted/qtparted.14:47
n8w1ngdrostie: ok,thx..14:48
drostieshadeslayer: yeah, I've found it in there. Basically, all of those prefs need to be changed from their defaults. :x14:48
drostiewell, actually, I think I'll just change them as I need them.14:49
n8w1ngdrostie: btw if i run free -m it shows 3 gb of memory, but ive got 4gb....runnin 64bit kubuntu...isnt it weird?14:49
drostieBut it's weird that my keyboard used to fire the keypress as Alt and is now firing it as Meta. :x14:49
drostien8w1ng: might be, might be. I'm more used to using top for the same information. but I don't know much about the backend of either.14:50
drostieIt might mean that one of four RAM chips is burned out, or something like that. :x14:51
n8w1ngdrostie: ye,the top shows 4gb14:52
n8w1ngdrostie: hmm how big should i make the swap file...a bit over 4gb rite?doesnt have to b like 5-614:53
drostien8w1ng: it really depends on the rest of the system's setup and intention.14:54
n8w1ngdrostie: heh sry i actualy forgot to mentiond what is my problme:))) i need to resize the swap file in order to enable hibernation14:54
zyxHello. I can't hear any sound with flash player, After installimg my VGA driver. (nVidia) Any ideas?14:54
drostieah. I don't know much about hibernation, myself. I *really* prefer a clean slate each time I start up my computer or web browser. I hate having the persistent mess. :x14:55
n8w1ngdrostie: the file has 690mb rite now:))) a bit too little:)14:55
drostiealso, I like crypto disks too much. ^^;;14:55
drostieBut, um, yes. You'll need more space for the hibernation file than memory (virtual or real) that you plan to be using at any given time.14:56
drostieIt's usually safe to go with something like "twice RAM" or so, but if you've got big plans for those extra 4GB then you can shave a bit off of them.14:56
drostieIn general there's no exact number, as any virtual buffer you specify could one day, on hibernate, be fully allocated with stuff left in RAM. :D14:57
n8w1ngdrostie: ye thats the problem...i havent got that much(ram*2)14:57
n8w1ngdrostie: 5g's would b my top i guess14:57
drostiewell then I'd either buy a bigger hard drive or delete old data. :P14:57
drostiethe "you really don't need 30GB of porn" rule strikes again! :D14:58
n8w1ngdrostie: no way man,im not touchin my most important folder "porn"...14:58

v1ttuis there anyway to make konqueror suck less?15:08
shadeslayerv1ttu: install rekonq or chromium?15:09
Vgemaby by chosing a other name than a swearword as your nick?15:09
v1tturekonq is even worse than konqueror15:10
Vgekonqueror is the sole reason im sticking with KDE atm15:10
v1ttufor flash*15:10
v1ttuwhy?!??15:11
shadeslayerv1ttu: oh wow... thats a slap on our face15:11
shadeslayerv1ttu: why would you say that rekonq sucks?15:11
v1ttushade?15:11
v1ttuit sucks for flash15:11
|||apriori|||hm? rekonq absolutely rocks15:11
shadeslayerv1ttu: yeah im one of the people helping out rekonq :)15:11
Vgei dont use it for browsing thou15:11
shadeslayerv1ttu: do you have the flash plugin installed?15:11
v1ttuyes lol15:11
|||apriori|||well, for me it did already replace konqueror.. mostly.15:11
v1ttuits great except for flash15:12
shadeslayerv1ttu: ok then whats the problem with the flash?15:12
|||apriori|||flash.. just beat up adobe15:12
v1ttuummm15:12
v1tturesiing youtube vids15:12
* shadeslayer wonders when the www will use html515:12
v1tturesizing*15:12
v1ttusome flash content crashes the browser15:12
shadeslayerv1ttu: hmm.. well thats a flash issue,not a rekonq issue..15:12
shadeslayerv1ttu: lemme try that out15:12
v1ttusometimes you only get audio and no video15:12
v1ttudosent happen in konqueror with the same flash tho15:13
v1tturekonq needs to mature more anyway, its only young ^^15:13
|||apriori|||actually flash should mature someday ^^15:13
v1ttulol15:13
|||apriori|||cpu usage of 100% for even the tiniest applications... its a joke.15:13
v1ttuits worse for me on windows tbh15:14
v1ttuflash on linux is better15:14
shadeslayerv1ttu: ok i can reproduce the issue15:14
v1ttuwhich issue?15:14
shadeslayer*but* its a flash issue15:14
shadeslayerv1ttu: resizing15:14
v1ttunope coz it works in konqueror and opera15:14
v1ttuits a rekonq issue15:15
shadeslayerhmm15:15
SatManUKif we are talking about browsers, why do some sites refuse to work in ff but work in konq..15:16
v1ttudunno :(15:16
|||apriori|||SatManUK: I guess some unrare standard breakage is the cause...15:16
SatManUKmy housemate is waiting for his security licence and when you login into security licencing authority website firefox doesn't run their php15:16
SatManUKbut konqueror works fine15:17
v1ttukonqueror is pretty awful though15:17
SatManUKfor some things is better than ff....15:17
v1ttuwrong sized text boxs are pretty annoying :/15:17
SatManUKkonq reminds me of ie15:17
|||apriori|||SatManUK, v1ttu, a few months ago the topic in #khtml was "implementing mutually exclusive bugs everyday"15:17
|||apriori|||that's the sole reason why several browsers got problems and others don't15:17
v1ttuhuh?15:17
SatManUKi don't get that..15:18
|||apriori|||most of the websites don't obey standards...15:18
v1ttui see15:18
|||apriori|||so any browser not implementing such actually "buggy" behaviour is doomed to fail15:18
v1ttubut15:18
v1ttustandards arent the problem15:18
v1ttuits bugs15:18
v1ttumostly ui15:18
FloodBotK1v1ttu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.15:18
v1ttuand the smearing bug is really bad15:19
|||apriori|||sure, I don't say konqueror is bug free...15:19
v1ttuits the worst browser ive ever used15:19
|||apriori|||but the major problem isnt khtm, webkit or gecko.. its the god damn website designer tools like frontpage etc. that pretty much "shit" on standard compliance.15:19
v1ttui wish the kde intergrated firefox didnt break so easily15:19
Pici!ot15:20
ubottu#kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!15:20
|||apriori|||Pici: is the channel currently in use otherwise? no.. so its simple as "not to read" for you.15:20
Pici|||apriori|||: Nevertheless, its offtopic.  #kubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-offtopic would be the appropriate places to discuss.15:21

shadeslayer( yes this happens on many sites )15:23
v1ttuugh no15:23
v1ttuit happens in rekonq too15:24

v1tturendering ui*15:24
v1ttulolz15:24
shadeslayerv1ttu: most of the sites support only FF or IE15:24
v1ttuwhy does it happen?15:24
rerxhi guys, has anybody of you got Digikam 1.1.0 running on Karmic with KDE 4.4?15:24
v1ttui know that but..15:24
v1ttuummm15:24
shadeslayerv1ttu: these sites are just tested with FF and IE and nowadays chrome.. not rekonq or konqueror15:25
shadeslayerv1ttu: you can try changing the browser identification15:25
v1ttu1.0 works rerx15:25
shadeslayerv1ttu: try changing it to IE or dont send the identification at all15:25
v1ttufalse user agent doesnt work15:25
v1ttunor does no agent lol15:26
v1ttuit happens on loads of sites tho15:26
rerxv1ttu: yes, I know, but 1.0 crashes a lot, 1.1.0 mainly introduces countless bugfixes15:26
shadeslayerPici: btw is there a page for signing up on wiki.kubuntu?15:26
v1ttui see15:26
v1ttui dont use digikam much ^^15:26
Picishadeslayer: Signing up for what?15:26
shadeslayerPici: a wiki name15:27
shadeslayerPici: the problem is that when i try to Register it redirects me to a openide login which then gives me : UnknownTimeZoneError15:27
Picishadeslayer: I'm not sure, I registered on the wiki long before there was any launchpad integration, I'm not sure how it works now.15:27
rerxi tried to build it and kipi-plugins myself but it resulted in package chaos for me... and if i'm not mistaken their ppa only provides a version that works on kde 4.315:27
shadeslayerPici: http://imagebin.ca/view/U5V3RmWu.html15:28
shadeslayerPici: any ideas if i can get more help on this issue?15:29
SatManUKPici: do you know how i can resolve this time out issue so i can have mutliple users logged in on mutliple fkeys?15:29
v1ttuso i guess theres no way to make konqueror not suck........ok >_<15:29
Picishadeslayer: Er.  I'm not sure who handles the kubuntu wiki.... #kubuntu-devel or maybe #ubuntu-doc15:29
SatManUKbecause it is frustrating when one user gets kicked out15:30
SatManUKdefats the point of multiuser..15:30
shadeslayerv1ttu: um just use chromium till we replace konqueror.. or if you want kde apps only,arora15:30
v1ttuarora is too minimal15:30
v1ttusucks with flash too XD15:30
shadeslayerv1ttu: use html5+chromium15:31

v1ttudisable sleep....16:39
wizkoderfound it16:43
andreas_You'd think so but you'd be wrong.16:50
Hellmark[S10e]v1ttu, personally, I prefer a more advanced release than stable releases. I am used to Debian, where it isn't uncommon for stable to be a year or more out of date from the stable releases from the individual projects. In a desktop environment, having something be even a few weeks out of date is often annoying or problematic. If say that a issue pops up in pidgin due to a server side change, do you really want to do without until16:53
Hellmark[S10e] it gets tested and pushed through, even though pidgin already has a stable release with that issue fixed?16:53
SatManUKyahoo is the worst for that16:54

bazhanganoneemouse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=126166 this what you had in mind for burning vob to dvd?17:10
anoneemousethanks bazhangm ill have a look17:10
rohdefSatManUK, ok, helped but didn't show the info I need :p is parted and similar tools the only way to reveal what type of partitions the disk has?17:10
anoneemouserohdef: on the commandline you can type df17:11
SatManUKwell you can use partition manager to detail filesystems and partitions17:12
rohdefanoneemouse, it don't reveal the partition type, only size, usage and such. Problem is that I know too many commands :p (I'm a konsole junkie), but I want to know the gui tools too, since a lot of people hate me when I start with the commandline17:12
SatManUKdoes kubuntu have sysinfo:/17:13
rohdefSatManUK, by partition manager are you referring to qtparted?17:13
anoneemouseit would be nice if the properties were in that right click menu... you should post it on kde brainstorm rohdef :)17:14

rohdefdarthanubis, are you right-clicking the same place we talk about? We're not talking about right clicking the folder directly or in the blank space of the folder, but on the quick shortcuts on the left of the window in the default setup17:15
rohdefdarthanubis,  ah never version, on the beta?17:16
rohdefdarthanubis, beta/alfa/pre release, whatever :p017:16
darthanubisI would have never thought to click where it properties are not supposed to appear17:16

I want it to autohide after three seconds like you cannot setup in plasma panel at all. Then I would like windows to cover it when possible at the same time and if you point the mouse pointer like tree seconds on the bottom then it hsould appear, not else because some18:36

Hellmark[S10e]Oxymoron, you can remove the stock panel and use daisy instead, but as far as the the other, you'd have to set up a mouse corner for showing the desktop to access it18:44
rethusPici great, thanks it works18:44
Picirethus: yay18:45
rethusbut other question. on firefox i got a notification if i start https-page with no valid certificat... before i could accept it forever.. but now the option is allways grayed out18:45
OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: How to do that then? For the moment dasiy only works if I show desktop? I want it to work even if windows are covered over dock panel? Then I wonder if you possible know if its possible to switch places on the icons in the bar? I want the KDe Lancelot app launcher to be on the most left side and not in the middle :P18:45
rethusso i have to check everytime the certificate an accept it.18:45
Hellmark[S10e]Oxymoron, go to the system settings, and see about having a mouse event, or something of that nature to show the desktop.18:47
Hellmark[S10e]I'm not in KDE right now, so I can't really tell you much more18:48

OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: But NOOOO, that screen thing sucks and the setting reset every time you logout on KDE ... :P Or the screen edges action itself rocks, but the settingsare not persisent for the moment ... And I dont want to show desktop on screen edge, I want the plasmoid? :S WHy cannot a plasmoid dock like the plasma panel? :S18:49
=== orion_ is now known as Guest79691
OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: I really like Daisy, its awesome and should replace panel totally if you ask me :P It has more features than Apple users also I think. The most awesome is that you can setup the autohiding to dissapear after x seconds, which I miss in the regular panel which autohides WAAAAAAAY to fast :P18:51

daskreech You dragged networkmanager to the panel?19:02
npad|homeyes I believe so19:02
OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: What freeezes?19:02
OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: Btw, for me Crystal Kwin style does render faster than Oxygen style does, so KDE works much faster strange enough with Crystal even if it has more eyecandy :D19:03
npad|homedaskreech, so how do I add back the network icon to the panel19:03
daskreechnpad|home: what happened when you dragged it back to the panel?19:04
Hellmark[S10e]Oxymoron, KDE apparently. it stops responding to all input, but the system as a whole is still working.19:04
npad|homeI thought it should be simple enough, but apparently I cant find anywhere in the system window to do that, nor use 'add widget'19:04
Hellmark[S10e]if I use other desktops, it works fine.19:04
npad|homeah let me try that19:04
daskreechHellmark[S10e]: Using kwin?19:04
Hellmark[S10e]daskreech, yes.19:04
daskreechLike the windows are there but don't respond to anything?19:05
OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: Yeah that happens me to sometimes. PLasma-desktop AND Kwin freezes totally if you change settings for Kwin, theme and so on multiple times and if youre lucky you can get a terminal. I owuld like starting processes when you do ctrl+esc, why isnt that implemented like Windows has, and even logout and switch user? :S19:06
Hellmark[S10e]windows are there, but type on the keyboard, or try to use the trackpad, but nada. Can't drop to console.19:06
OxymoronYeah same problem for me :S Everything just freeze19:08
npad|homedaskreech, which widget configures the network?19:09
npad|homeit doesnt seem obvious19:09
npad|homeand dragging the widgets onto desktop works19:09
npad|homenice19:09
Esmareldaok19:10
OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: Not sure if its KDE or Kubuntu/Ubuntu related crash/bug :P19:10
Hellmark[S10e]Oxymoron, what do you do to fix it?19:10
daskreechnpad|home: You can drag them anywhere in theory19:11
daskreechonto panels, Off panels, In KDE 4.4 into the Systray19:12
OxymoronHellmark[S10e]: EH if I even can do something I do alt+f2 and get the konsole or run command directly and FIRST start Kwin because both plasma-desktop and kwin crashes at the same time, lol ... Or I use ctrl+alt+f* to switch X-session If that even works ... If not anything of those works I just turn off computer and login again :P19:12
daskreechHellmark[S10e]: do you know how to jump to a virtual Terminal?19:12
=== jtheuer_ is now known as jtheuer
npad|homedaskreech, I mean, the wifi network interface. it used to be on panel by default19:14
Hellmark[S10e]daskreech, you mean like control alt and F119:14
daskreechHellmark[S10e]: Yes19:14
OxymoronBtw, Intel audio problems once again since last backport update ... WHY DOES THEY break those packages, I dont understand :S Weird is that Kaffeine and Amarok which uses Phonon works anyway, but VLC, Flash PLayer and so on does not work :S19:15
daskreechnpad|home: Yeah you can throw it back there19:15
Hellmark[S10e]daskreech, when it locks up like that, doesn't respond when I try to do that.19:15
daskreechHellmark[S10e]: oh ok not the issue I was thinking of19:15
daskreechHellmark[S10e]: If you have another computer ssh in and kill kwin to see if that's causing it (kwin will be using like 99% of your CPU)19:16
npad|homedaskreech, problem is, what is it called? It isnt "Network Manager" which I thought19:16
Hellmark[S10e]daskreech, will have to try that later.19:16
daskreechIf that's it The kwin guys will be very happy to get your report It's been a bug since KDe 4.0 Thought that it was killed in KDE 4.3 if its not they will want to know. iT's a race condition19:16
Hellmark[S10e]this is happening on my netbook, which I mostly use when I am not home.19:17
daskreechnpad|home: It will be by KDE 4.519:17
npad|homedaskreech, I think you have the wrong person for kde 4.5 thing19:17
npad|homeIm looking for the name of the icon that configures wifi19:18
npad|homeNetwork manager isnt it19:18
Oxymorondaskreech: Btw, do you know what features KDE5 will have if there will be any? :P I thought KDE should be stable with KDE 4.3, but not even 4.4 is enough stable ... I think you have to wait for KDE 4.5 anyway :D19:18
daskreechnpad|home: I'm saying it should be named better by KDE 4.5 It's a playground project for 4.3 and 4.419:18
npad|homeah ok19:18
Esmareldasee u later roller skater19:18
daskreechOxymoron: KDE5 will be decided when Qt5 ships. When the KDE team sees what that can do they will have a target Feature list19:19
npad|homeanyway, if you're on Kubuntu can you please look at what the wireless icon on your tray is called19:19
npad|homeI cant find the icon in the widget menu19:19
Oxymorondaskreech: Alright, but in theory then if ypoure looking on the web, society, peoples behavior in different mobile and desktop platforms and so on, what do you think KDE5 will focus on? :P Will we get some kind of 3D and Internet interaction with the OS maybe? :D That would be aweseom to take "The cube" one step longer and make everything in 3D :D19:21
ubuntuhi19:21
daskreechOxymoron: We have that with KDE4 now19:21
daskreechWell not everything in 3D that's plain stupid19:21
paolignoHi. how can I set a custom name for the window of a specific application?19:22
ubuntuafter installing ubuntu on my pc (windows is also installed -> games) i get the "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter" error, how can i restore the windows bootloader?19:23
Oxymorondaskreech: Yeah, I know we have the cube and so on now ;) But I guess Internet/web will be totally interacted with our computers in the future :P I hope for more hybrid protocols like Phonon though so everything just works flawless :)19:23
Hellmark[S10e]this is happening on my netbook, which I mostly use when I am not home.?19:23
Hellmark[S10e]err19:23
daskreechIf it was flawless it would be boring :)19:24
Hellmark[S10e]daskreech, out of curiousity, what is the issue you know of with kwin freezing19:24
daskreechHellmark[S10e]: The one I was talking about near as I can guess is Qpixelbuffer bug with Qt I haven't been able to track it down yet19:25
daskreech So you are clicking and typing and it's ahppeneing it's just not getting drawn on the screen19:25
Hellmark[S10e]yeah, I don't think that is what's going on, because dropping to a console should be independent of that, since you're stepping outside of the X server.19:26
daskreechYep if you are getting the input actually being blocked then it's a resource starvation issue or something is crashng the kernel19:28
Oxymorondaskreech: Flawless would be good so I dont have to take time bug searching and being interupted in my work all the time because of app and system crashes19:29
daskreechyou should still be able to ssh into the box even if it's resource starved (since that's reserverd already) and fix it but that gives you an idea as to what you are looking for19:29
daskreechOxymoron: oh no crashes are bad. Crashes shouldn't happen19:29
Oxymorondaskreech: Well some minor feature and config misses is okay if it does not break something or really annoy you :P Then you could look forward for the next release ;) But as you said, crashes are not good, neither is plane crashes :D19:30
daskreechI think losing 3 hours worth of work is not really comparable with wiping out a family line19:31

npad|homeanyone here work with webcams or use them with Kubuntu?20:08
npad|homedaskreech, btw, finally found the icon for wlan/eth0 interface, it is "System Tray" icon from widgets. d-oh20:09
