[06:48] vivek_: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.4.2 [06:49] areichman: I have seen that but some ppl have told me that leads to lot of issues... So i would like to know whether it would in fact lead to any broken issues and all [06:52] vivek_: I have no idea but those are the official instructions on how to do it [06:53] even if there are problems, it's still probably the _best_ way to do it [06:53] using software before the distribution has a chance to iron out kinks will often lead to problems [06:54] it'ss probably a good idea to wait 17 more days until 10.04 comes out [06:54] vivek_: it might lead to issues, it might not. it depends on both your hardware and your software (what you have installed, how it is set up, etc) how could we know? [06:55] areichman: but KDE 4.4 has been realeased sometime around in Feb.. dont you think it should be given a try now.. because by the time 10.04 comes out it would already be 3 months and then in another 3 months you have a new version of KDE coming out [06:55] vivek_: but if you do run into problems, I doubt they will be so serious that you would have to reinstall. in other words, the problems that may arise from the upgrade can be fixed later. [06:56] vivek_: you can try it out, but karmic was made with 4.3 in mind, so not be scared if you find some kind of issue [06:56] vivek_: it depends on what level of hassle you're willing to deal with. I'm running what will become KDE 4.5, compiling it from trunk but I also deal with a lot of issues because of it [06:56] can u help me with my weather gadget Weather Forecast i cant find any location im try everything :| [06:56] and not work [06:57] Can not find... im try london paris varna [06:57] iconmefisto_: hmmm thanks .. by the way guys what is there so different in KDE4.4 [06:57] nothing [06:58] lots of stuff.

I was feeling a little doubtful [07:04] i am not SadEagle [07:04] iconmefisto_: Error: need a repository as argument ?! [07:05] where im wrong [07:05] vivek_: I'm not sure because I didn't use kpackagekit to do the upgrade, I used apt-get. but if you need to apt-get install kubuntu-desktop there shouldn't be much problem with that === xrandr_laptop is now known as Guest28383 [07:07] hmm how to remove old kde and install new one ?

[08:19] el3ment: how much is it now.. if I may ask [08:19] el3ment: then update, and install plasma-widget-yawp [08:20] iconmefisto_: why does this RAM usage suddenly increase after the upgrade [08:20] vivek_: I don't know. I haven't noticed any problem with that [08:20] i have heard it goes from 200 MB RAm to close 700 MB ram when idle [08:21] vivek_: oh, one reason may be nepomuk search being enabled. it's disabled by default in kde 4.3 on kubuntu I think [08:21] iconmefisto_: I guess I am going to do the upgrade your way.... through the console rather than through kpack but the command that you gave for adding repository does not work.. can you please paste that command again [08:22] vivek_: well nepomuk shouldn't make that much of a difference, so it must be something else [08:22] iconmefisto: by the way what is so special about nepomuk ,... waht is it actually.. am very new to all this.. hope you understand [08:22] vivek_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [08:23] Could not find requested component yaWP [08:23] 0o [08:23] iconmefisto: repository added.. after that please next command [08:24] iconmefisto_: ? [08:24] vivek_: nepomuk allows file indexing and searching, so you can search for file contents, tags, email contacts, etc, as well as filenames [08:24] vivek_: sudo apt-get update [08:24] should that eat up 400 MB of extra RAM [08:24] should it be sudo apt-get update or sudo aptitude update [08:25] iconmefisto_: why im get this err when try do add widget yaWP ? [08:25] el3ment: wht is your RAM usage now [08:25] vivek_: I doubt nepomuk would use that much ram, but I'm not sure. maybe while the indexing is taking place, but once the index is created, it should be fine [08:25] iconmefisto_: Could not find requested component yaWP [08:25] vivek_: sec === CMoH-work is now known as CMoH-office === CMoH-office is now known as CMoH|office [08:26] el3ment: so yawp is installed and you see it in the widgets list, but you get that error when you add it? === CMoH|office is now known as CMoH-office [08:26] iconmefisto_:should it be sudo apt-get update or sudo aptitude update [08:26] iconmefisto_: yes [08:27] vivek_: apt-get or aptitude. both do the same job [08:28] iconmefisto_: ok after that [08:28] vivek_: then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, or sudo aptitude full-upgrade [08:28] vivek_: we will make iconmefisto_ crazy :D [08:29] iconmefisto_: thanks a tonne for all your patience and support [08:29] by the way el3ment: RAM usage?? .. lol [08:29] vivek_: no prob. so it's upgrading now?

[08:32] that is huge el3ment: iconmefisto_: was linux not meant to be light.. any expert comments on this? [08:32] vivek_: i have 8 gb ram :) not big for me [08:33] that is cool.. i have a poor 2GB.. lol [08:33] 8 GB RAM el3ment: wow what are you doing with all that RAM.. supercomputer [08:34] vivek_: I'm not really an expert :) but I've heard that mem usage on linux should be high, because free ram (not used by apps) is used to cache files, which makes general performance faster [08:34] oh!! ok [08:35] vivek_: so lots of RAM on linux improves performance, even if you're not actively using it [08:35] hmmm so I should buy at least another 6 GB of RAM asap [08:35] cool ... [08:36] ok iconmefisto_: el3ment time to reboot.. pray for me [08:37] el3ment: I'm not sure why yawp isn't working. is the widget in place, or does it just not add anything at all?

[10:36] ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [10:36] b is true [10:40] hii! [10:40] can someone here tell me how to use nepomuk and what exactly is it [10:46] vivek: nepomuk from what I know is suppose to be the search backend for kde. Its just is to index your files and then u can use it (I think its what strigi uses as a backend for searching) [10:48] vivek: so in layman term it helps you index all files so you can search with it. How can it be enabled? go to system settings and on the "advanced" tab took for "desktop search" and the enable nepomuk and strigi desktop search [10:48] damn he quit on me :( [10:48] sigh [10:51] Hi [10:51] I have a bit of a problem with rekonq [10:51] When I start it says that its unable to load kio_http [10:52] I guess I have to install kio, but I cant find kio that seems right [10:53] Can somebody help me? :) [11:05] wendeco: kio_http is part of kdelibs [11:06] wendeco: you should have that installed, i guess.

[12:22] vivek: try alt-F2 and type plasma-desktop [12:23] iconmefisto:typede plasma-desktop nothing came [12:23] the way I went about this would be to rename all my kde config files and restart kde so that it starts in a pristine state. but u would lose all your user settings [12:23] brb [12:24] i can access everything through alt-f2 but nothing on the dektop.. it is a black screen [12:24] help me out pleasee [12:25] vivek: ctrl-esc and see if plasma-desktop is running [12:25] iconmefisto: no it is not running [12:27] and if you start it with alt-F2? does it appear in the system activity window?
