| James147 | AnxiousNut: I have no clue how to do things from gnome sorry | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| AnxiousNut | James147, i just need to know the name of the theming application or under which package it exist | 00:04 |
| James147 | AnxiousNut: its part of the system settings in kde | 00:07 |
| AnxiousNut | James147, yea Kay_ from #KDE helped me; it's by having systemsettings installed then can be ran from the command line in my case, thanks for your time buddy :) | 00:09 |
| srikant | amichair: :-( | 00:13 |
| srikant | amichair: Can I get link to instructions for OEM installation mode in Lucid Kubutu | 00:14 |
| amichair | srikant: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuOEMInstaller | 00:14 |
| srikant | kde 4.4.4 crashes while removing plasma device notifier from system tray :( | 00:16 |
| srikant | amichair: thanks | 00:16 |
| amichair | srikant: if you have a crash, can you please report the bug with the details (the crash handler should offer your to)? | 00:17 |
| srikant | ok | 00:17 |
| srikant | amichair: After a restart, KDM, is loaded and we login as "oem". After doing the necessary changes(install drivers, add packages etc.), we run | 00:19 |
| srikant | sudo oem-config-prepare | 00:19 |
| srikant | amichair: When exactly we will be able to install drivers & packages ? | 00:19 |
| amichair | when you log in as oem, you can make any changes to the system that you need, including installing packages etc. when you are done, you run oem-config-prepare. at that point the image is ready (the next time you boot, it will run your customized installer) | 00:22 |
| srikant | amichair: Thanks a lot | 00:23 |
| amichair | srikant: good luck :-) | 00:23 |

| bandura | is there anyone to ask about konqueror browser? | 00:51 |
| Tm_T | ask the question and find out (: | 00:52 |
| mase_wk | bandura: generally you just ask your question | 00:52 |
| nba | hi | 00:53 |
| mase_wk | if someone knows they will respond, even if they are idling, later they may respond so long as your still in the channel | 00:53 |
| mase_wk | hi nba | 00:53 |
| bandura | i am just wondering if there is any setting to put in the konqueror to start with tabbed browsing enabled, insted of clicking ctrl=t... to open a second tab | 00:53 |
| bandura | the second question is how can i make konqueror as a file browser to access my ntfs drives | 00:54 |
| mase_wk | so you want 2 tabs when you start konq? | 00:54 |
| bandura | insted of accessing only the ext drives | 00:54 |
| mase_wk | you can just type nfs://youserver into the address bar | 00:54 |
| bandura | yae mase_wk | 00:54 |
| nba | i loose my root password if somebody can help | 00:55 |
| mase_wk | dunno how to get 2 tabs on start up | 00:55 |
| mase_wk | nba: sudo passwd root | 00:55 |
| bandura | i.e. firefox starts in tabs, how can I make the same with konqueror | 00:55 |
| mase_wk | assumes your current user has sudo | 00:55 |
| James147 | mase_wk: its not recomended to set a root password | 00:56 |
| mase_wk | James147: well no, but he's lost his root password so i assume its already set right ? | 00:56 |
| mase_wk | bandura: my firefox only startts with a single blank page /tab | 00:56 |
| mase_wk | konq can do that | 00:57 |
| James147 | mase_wk: I wouldnt assume that :) most people who know how to set the root password know how to change it :) | 00:57 |
| mase_wk | but i donn't know how to make it have 2 tabs | 00:57 |
| mase_wk | James147: yeh fair call | 00:57 |
| bandura | mase I dont care about the 2 tabs, just to opened in tabs | 00:57 |
| bandura | like firefox | 00:57 |
| mase_wk | just deselect the option which says 'hide tab bar when only one tab is open' | 00:58 |
| James147 | mase_wk: there is an option in the settings for konq -> general tab -> "Hide the tab bar when only one tab is open" | 00:58 |
| James147 | bandura: ^^ sorry | 00:59 |
| mase_wk | =) | 00:59 |
| James147 | bandura: also, about the ntfs drive you might need to mount them first | 01:00 |
| bandura | many thanks mase :) | 01:01 |
| James147 | nba: did you do what mase_wk suggested? | 01:01 |
| bandura | james, is there any option to have them mounted? i.e. when I open dolphin I can see them... | 01:01 |
| James147 | bandura: dolphin mounts them when you click them, not sure how konq works but you can always use trhe device manager to mount them (a widget on the panel) | 01:02 |
| fabio333 | hi there! | 01:03 |
| James147 | bandura: possibly by hitting F9 in konq and selecting the "places" tab | 01:03 |
| fabio333 | did you see the bold face or what? | 01:04 |
| James147 | fabio333: ?? | 01:04 |
| fabio333 | i'm using quassel on kde 4.4.4 | 01:05 |
| bandura | I just watch my home folder, nothing more | 01:05 |
| fabio333 | this is the first time with kde synce a long time | 01:05 |
| James147 | fabio333: hope you enjoy it :) | 01:05 |
| fabio333 | i see no xdcc support here... should i use konversation? | 01:06 |
| James147 | fabio333: dont know what that is :) but you can use konversation if you wish | 01:06 |
| fabio333 | what is yours? | 01:07 |
| James147 | fabio333: I use quassel and am fine with it | 01:07 |
| bandura | since konqueror is a file browser too, I should watch all the disks, even if the are unmounted, right? like nautilus and dolphin | 01:08 |
| James147 | bandura: not sure what you mean | 01:08 |
| fabio333 | bandure let me try | 01:09 |
| bandura | when you open dolphin/nautilus, you can watch all of you disks (incl ntfs), but with konqueror you cannot (at least I cannot...) | 01:10 |
| fabio333 | bandura: me too there is no computer location | 01:10 |
| bandura | yeap | 01:10 |
| bandura | there is only the home folder | 01:11 |
| fabio333 | you have to use the device notifier | 01:11 |
| bandura | this is a widget right? | 01:12 |
| fabio333 | yep, plasma widget | 01:12 |
| James147 | bandura: hmm, my netbook has a places tab when you hit F9 (kde4.5 beta) but my desktop dosent (4.4.2) | 01:12 |
| fabio333 | does bold font work here? | 01:14 |
| mase_wk | fabio333: nup | 01:15 |
| mase_wk | well you can change your local font to whatever you want | 01:15 |
| bandura | james: same here, but in the media are only the mounted drives... while in the other file browser, you can see them even that they are unmounted... | 01:15 |
| mase_wk | but the rest of the channel won't see it | 01:15 |
| fabio333 | so these little thigs here are pretty useless | 01:16 |
| mase_wk | little things ? | 01:16 |
| bandura | james: ok no problem if there is no such feature, then we cannot do anything about that | 01:16 |
| fabio333 | beside my nickname in quassel there is a word-like toobar... | 01:16 |
| bandura | why kubuntu asks for you password in order to acccess the ntfs drives? can I disable it?\ | 01:17 |
| James147 | bandura: in /media you will only see mounted drives (on any file manager) but on the 4.5 beta I have a "Places" tab when I hit F9 that works like the "Places" side bar in dolphin | 01:17 |
| mase_wk | ah ok, i'm not using quassel personally so i was confused :) | 01:17 |
| James147 | bandura: you can install ntfs-config and run that as root - it will allow you to configure ntfs drives to mount at boot so they wont require a password | 01:18 |
| bandura | that's interesting, haw can I install this? | 01:19 |
| fabio333 | this is still beta stuff | 01:19 |
| James147 | bandura: sudo aptitude install ntfs-config | 01:20 |
| fabio333 | i mean the 4.5: am i supposed tu use konqueror as a browser? | 01:20 |
| bandura | if I do this in gnome, would it have any difference, cause I am inubuntu mode now... | 01:21 |
| James147 | fabio333: not sure what you mean, you dont ahve to use 4.5 if you dont want to and you can use what you want as a file manager (default is dolphin) | 01:22 |
| bandura | i installed kubuntu-desktop in my ubuntu installation | 01:22 |
| James147 | bandura: it should make any difference which desktop interface you install things on (given that they are on the same root drive :) ) | 01:23 |
| James147 | bandura: shouldent ^^ | 01:23 |
| bandura | thank you very much | 01:24 |

| contrast | Greets, everyone... Anyone here using Conky on KDE? I've tried several times, using several different methods, but was never able to get transparency to work. :\ | 10:35 |

| contrast | yup | 10:46 |
| well_laid_lawn | commented or have no line own window ? | 10:47 |

| well_laid_lawn | yep - or another name and use conky -c /path | 10:58 |

| well_laid_lawn | looks transparent | 11:08 |
| contrast | well_laid_lawn: that firefox window on the desktop isn't really there - it just kinda flickers in and out once every second or two. it briefly goes away when i right-click on the desktop, but so does conky. | 11:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | hmm | 11:08 |
| contrast | i doubt it's relevant, but this comes up in the terminal when i start conky: Conky: can't load font '8x12' | 11:10 |
| contrast | is that 8x12 hex? and if so, i'm guessing that means i need to figure out the hex for whatever font i want to use, right? | 11:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's not hex but pixel size afaik - try adding the line double_buffer yes | 11:11 |
| daedaluz | how can I set kde to only show apps in toolbar that are on current desktop, not on all | 11:12 |

| well_laid_lawn | all good contrast ? | 11:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 11:12 |
| contrast | well, not sure yet... gonna start plasma back up and remove those widgets to see if they're the culprit... | 11:13 |
| James147 | daedaluz: in the task bar? right click it -> configure task bar -> there is an option to only show windows from current desktop | 11:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | daedaluz: if you right click the toolbar is there an option for it? | 11:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | the systray part | 11:14 |
| contrast | well_laid_lawn: strange. i'm having to use feh to set the background in order for it to work... still better than what i was getting before though. many thanks. :) | 11:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | not the best solution but if you're happy then :] | 11:20 |
| daedaluz | James147: ah, thanks, it was hidden and not accessible behind open programs, had to close some first | 11:21 |
| contrast | pgodf8ijhad0p9g8sdkjxogzv; | 11:21 |
| contrast | meh, not really. i use a slideshow for my wallpaper, and i just nuked my plasma setup that took me hours and hours to set up for conky, which apparently isn't going to let me use a slideshow. fffffffffuuuuuuuuu | 11:23 |
| contrast | sorry, just had to vent... but seriously, thanks well_laid_lawn. i appreciate your time and effort. :) | 11:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | hehe np ;] | 11:24 |
| contrast | if only conky didn't have to look so damn sexy and tempting. haha | 11:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | it is a pity conky and kde have never really got along | 11:26 |
| contrast | oh, sweet. right-clicking on the desktop makes conky disappear, forcing me to kill it. | 11:26 |
| contrast | sounds like they get along well enough on your system. =\ | 11:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | that was a kede 3.5 in a vm I posted that rc from | 11:28 |
| contrast | umm... | 11:28 |
| contrast | so you're not using conky on kde4? | 11:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'm sure there will be a plasma widget to do at least some of what conky can do | 11:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | never even seen kde4... | 11:29 |
| contrast | wtf | 11:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | apart from your screen shot | 11:30 |

| Tm_T | drive is the device, partition is... what you prolly call drive in Windows | 11:39 |

| rohit_ | 4 partitions on a single sata hard disk. | 11:40 |

| James147 | rohit_: what in the live cd is showing one "drive"? | 11:40 |
| rohit_ | it is showing 160 gb hard disk as a single unit even though there are 4 partitions. | 11:42 |
| James147 | rohit_: what is? the installer? | 11:42 |
| rohit_ | yeah kubuntu installer... | 11:43 |
| daedaluz | rohit_: your hdd is a single unit. look closer for options | 11:44 |
| James147 | rohit_: and what are the options it is giving you? | 11:44 |
| rohit_ | the options are as usual:- | 11:46 |
| rohit_ | ADD ,Delete ,change | 11:46 |
| James147 | rohit_: on the "maunal paritions" page? | 11:46 |
| rohit_ | if i delete ...all the data in the 4 partitions will be lost | 11:46 |
| rohit_ | yeah..... | 11:46 |
| James147 | rohit_: that is right, but where do you want to install it? | 11:47 |
| James147 | rohit_: by shrink and creating a new parition or by overwriting one? | 11:48 |
| rohit_ | i installed windows in cdrive and there are e ,d ,f partitions. These partitions arent visible at installer.It is only showing 160gb hardisk as a single partition. | 11:49 |
| James147 | rohit_: It should be showing your disk with the partitions under it (sda1 sda2 sda3 and sda4 mostlikly... ) these corrispond to the drives in windows | 11:50 |
| rohit_ | no i cant see them....sda1 sda2 sda3 and sda4 | 11:50 |
| James147 | rohit_: note: the order might not be the same, you will have to find out which one is which | 11:50 |
| rohit_ | nothing is visible ...what i see is 160gb partition itself...under it everything is blank | 11:51 |
| James147 | rohit_: can you take a screen show of what you can see? and upload it here http://imagebin.ca/ (or similar site) | 11:51 |
| rohit_ | i gave fdisk -l...all the partitions are visible...but partition maanager isnt detecting them... | 11:52 |
| James147 | rohit_: hmm | 11:54 |
| James147 | rohit_: have you tryed restarting the installer? (or prehaps going back then forward again) | 11:54 |
| rohit_ | @James will u be available on channel untill i get screenshots and upload them??? | 11:54 |
| rohit_ | yeah! | 11:54 |

| James147 | rohit_: :S that is weird, I suggest trying to setup the partition useing another program (like partitionmanager or gparted) and se if that helps... If not you could try the text baised installer | 12:19 |
| rohit_ | how to activate text installer in a live cd? | 12:20 |
| James147 | rohit_: i think hitting F4 during the menu will give you extra options (havent tryed it though) otherwise the alternitive cd should work | 12:21 |
| rohit_ | ohk | 12:21 |
| rohit_ | thankyou james.Will try :D | 12:22 |

| azra | everything is working fine except sound | 12:34 |
| James147 | azra: can you be more spific? what sound application are not working? | 12:35 |
| azra | audio playes in both speaker and headphone at the same time | 12:35 |
| azra | normaly when i insert headphone inbuilt speaker goes off | 12:36 |
| azra | but it doesnt | 12:36 |
| azra | what should i do? | 12:36 |
| azra | i use headphone in home in night | 12:36 |
| James147 | !sound | azra | 12:37 |
| ubottu | azra: If you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 12:37 |
| azra | i can play audio in vlc and amarok | 12:38 |
| azra | ok i try | 12:38 |
| James147 | azra: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Is%20ALSA%20using%20the%20correct%20model? (direct link to what might be more useful) | 12:39 |
| azra | James147: "http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3111549.0" is this usefull? | 12:39 |
| James147 | azra: I think direct link I sent will be quite useful (doing something like what it said fixed the problem for me in the past) the link you sent looks more like if sound isnt comming out the speaker clear | 12:43 |
| azra | ok i try | 12:43 |
| azra | James147: fgrep -ie 'audio' /etc/group | 12:47 |
| azra | the output of this command is "audio:x:29:" | 12:47 |
| === robin is now known as Guest76026 | ||
| azra | James147: it supposed to be audio:x:29:pulse | 12:47 |
| James147 | azra: mine is the same as yours (the details on the page might be fore an older version) since your sound is working I dont think that is your problem though | 12:50 |
| azra | ok | 12:51 |
| James147 | azra: I think you might find the section "Is ALSA using the correct model?" to help most with your problem | 12:51 |
| azra | How? i am a new user of ubuntu | 12:52 |
| James147 | azra: Scroll to the section "Is ALSA using the correct model?" and try to do what it says (direct link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Is%20ALSA%20using%20the%20correct%20model?) | 12:54 |

| theuros | what is the difference if i conect to web server via ftp or ssh ? .. i mean .. i know one i secure .. but i think that mounted sssh works better than mounted ftp ? | 12:59 |
| James147 | tau: (Which theme?) you can change how kubuntu looks by going to system settings > apperence (plasma themes are in Style > Workspace) | 12:59 |
| tau | James147: sure, thank you, | 13:00 |

| azra | James147: the first link you sent didn't work | 13:01 |
| azra | i am trying second | 13:02 |
| James147 | azra: try different models, see if one works better then another (when I had this problem I couldnt get it to work prefectly) unforintally I cannot be of more help then that. | 13:02 |
| azra | James147: I bought 2 dell vostro 1014, ubuntu 10.04 works fine, but kubuntu10.04 having sound problem | 13:03 |

| James147 | !help | halali | 13:54 |
| ubottu | halali: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:54 |
| halali | okay thanks, and sorry for being inappropriate for the first time here:) | 13:55 |
| James147 | halali: No problem :) | 13:56 |
| shadeslayer | halali: just try to post your problem in simple english and we will be glad to help out :D | 13:56 |
| halali | so my problem is that i changed some settings and if i minimize sometthing (eg. firefox) i cannot see it on the panel | 13:56 |
| halali | i just can reopen it by pressing alt+tab, but cannot just click on the minimized window on the panel | 13:57 |
| shadeslayer | halali: ah,can you see any other apps in the panel? | 13:57 |
| James147 | halali: Do you still ahve the task bar? | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 13:57 |
| tau | i always download some movies from the internet containing rmvb extensions i got the mencoder to convert these files to .avi but i don't know how to use it to. can anyone help me ? | 13:57 |
| halali | i do have the task bar, and some plazmoids on it but no minimized windows can be seen | 13:57 |
| shadeslayer | tau: i know ffmpeg | 13:58 |
| shadeslayer | halali: right click on the empty space in taskbar > add widgets > Taskbar widget | 13:58 |
| tau | shadeslayer: how does it work ? | 13:58 |
| shadeslayer | tau: with ffmpeg : ffmpeg -i input.rmvb output.avi | 13:58 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest30927 | ||
| tau | hmm, shadeslayer thank u | 13:59 |
| shadeslayer | tau: you can set the bit rate and other things as well... just check out the manpage | 13:59 |
| tau | shadeslayer: let me ask another thing. | 13:59 |
| shadeslayer | tau: sure | 13:59 |
| tau | shadeslayer: when i compress a movie file to a rmvb file i lose quality but when i decompress a rmvb to one avi file i retrieve the lost quality ? | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | tau:no, once data is lost during compression , it's gone forever | 14:02 |
| tau | BluesKaj: ;~ | 14:02 |
| tau | BluesKaj: sure. | 14:02 |
| tau | BluesKaj: thank u | 14:02 |
| shadeslayer | tau: no | 14:02 |
| tau | shadeslayer: k | 14:03 |
| halali | shadeslayer: didnt work:( | 14:03 |
| azra | James147: i want to play sound through headphone but when i insert headphone audio works but the same time speaker also plays the the same audio which didn't happen in kubuntu9.10 | 14:03 |
| James147 | tau: also note that due to the diffrerent ways things are compressed in rmvb and avi there can be some extra quility loss | 14:03 |
| shadeslayer | halali: you have to drag the widget onto the taskbar | 14:03 |
| tau | James147: sure. | 14:04 |
| James147 | azra: sorry, but if the links I sent before dident help I am not sure how else to fix it | 14:04 |
| tau | James147: thank u too. | 14:04 |
| James147 | azra: only thing I can suggest is to try an manually mute the channels (although when it did that for me it endfed up muting them both) | 14:06 |
| azra | James147: :((((((( now i dont hear any sound | 14:07 |
| tau | azra: lol | 14:07 |
| azra | James147: so sad | 14:07 |
| tau | azra: it happened to me when i was using debian. | 14:07 |
| halali | i have 7 widgets on the taskbar, can add easily new ones, delete some, but no minimized windows still | 14:07 |
| vargadanis | he is missing the task bar from the panel I suppose | 14:08 |
| tau | azra: i tried to watch rmvb files when the sound system stopped to work. | 14:08 |
| James147 | halali: the task bar is where the windows appear, the panel is what the widgets appear on... the task bar is a widget | 14:08 |
| vargadanis | James147, what plasmoid needs to be added to the panel so that the windows appear on the panel? | 14:08 |
| vargadanis | halali = my bro ... I am as well puzzled by this problem | 14:09 |
| James147 | vargadanis: "Task Manager" | 14:09 |
| vargadanis | halali, you heard da man, try it! :) | 14:09 |
| azra | James147: is it work if use reinstall my laptop with ubuntu10.04 and then install kde? | 14:11 |
| shadeslayer | halali: can you post a screenshot at imagebin | 14:11 |
| shadeslayer | !imagebin | halali | 14:11 |
| ubottu | halali: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. | 14:11 |
| James147 | azra: I do not know, you could try it | 14:11 |
| azra | James147: i love kde thats why i installed kubuntu, otherwise ubuntu with gnome works for me in 9.10 | 14:12 |
| halali | here is my desktop : http://i49.tinypic.com/t4wt9y.jpg | 14:14 |
| shadeslayer | halali: ok,see the cashew in the far left... | 14:15 |
| James147 | halali: yup, your are missing teh task manager, right click an empty part of the panel > Add widgets > search for "Task Manager" > drag it back | 14:15 |
| shadeslayer | halali: click it > Add widgets > Search for "taskbar" > Drag to space between show desktop and indicator | 14:15 |
| halali | jea, jea i definetly tried what u adviced, unfourtanetely didnt find ''taskbar'' or anything similra to it. Also tried to install new widget, but no match lol? | 14:16 |
| shadeslayer | halali: weird... | 14:17 |
| James147 | halali: Task manager (should show if you just type "task" | 14:17 |
| shadeslayer | halali: install kubuntu-desktop meta package | 14:17 |
| shadeslayer | in case your missing the deps... | 14:17 |
| vargadanis | most definitely... I have looked through his widgets too and there were just no such thing as taskbar | 14:17 |
| vargadanis | halali, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 14:18 |
| vargadanis | in konsole | 14:18 |
| halali | thanks for help guys | 14:26 |
| halali | other question: i used to have nice large icons but they just changed to small ones, and i cannot change the size of icons in settings? didnt change theme or anything | 14:27 |
| James147 | halali: System settings > Apperence > Icons > Advanced > (Icon type you want to change) > Size: To the size you want | 14:29 |
| vargadanis | how is that possible that from 1 restart to the other the task bar disappears and the icons get small? | 14:30 |
| vargadanis | cause that is what has happened here | 14:30 |
| halali | James147: thanks i found where to change icon size, what is funny that nothing happened when i changed to the max size available | 14:31 |
| halali | thank you for your help guys ill try to do somethingy | 14:37 |
| James147 | vargadanis: Not sure why that wouldent work, but if he dident ahve many settings in kde he could remove ~/.kde to reset everything to the default settings | 14:39 |
| Whammo | hi I see sometimes Temp:122.6 GiB/180.6 GiB. If that mans what I think it means there is an unusual amount of stuff cached somewhere. can anybody shed some light on this? | 14:46 |
| James147 | Whammo: du -s /* will give you the total size of all the folder inside root | 14:48 |
| James147 | Whammo: add -h to make it easier to read :) | 14:49 |
| Whammo | James147: thanks but more specifically if there is 122 gigs of stuff in a temp folder somewhere other than /tmp I need to know where, right? | 14:51 |
| James147 | Whammo: you do, but the only way I can think of doing that is to du -sh unto each folder untill you find it :) | 14:52 |
| Whammo | James147: if those are my options, I'll take it! | 14:52 |
| James147 | Whammo: or get http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/filelight?content=99561 | 14:54 |
| Whammo | James147: hmm looks nice | 14:55 |
| Whammo | filelight | 14:55 |
| Whammo | whoosp not term ;) | 14:56 |

| Floo` | Hi, I'm using kubuntu-netbook and I'd want to delete the "Education" menu entry (in the search and launch activity), how I can I do ? | 15:01 |
| James147 | Floo`: Dont think you can in 4.4.* but in 4.5 beta there is an option under "Configure search and launch" > Main menu | 15:03 |
| Floo` | James147: Ok :( | 15:03 |
| Floo` | Is 4.5 beta "safe-enough" ? :p | 15:04 |
| James147 | Floo`: check to see if its there but I think it was added in 4.5 | 15:04 |
| shadeslayer | Floo`: nope | 15:04 |
| Floo` | James147: Yeah I've checked everywhere and didn't find | 15:04 |
| shadeslayer | Floo`: its not usable atm,some packaging problems.. | 15:04 |
| shadeslayer | Floo`: i would suggest waiting till the final release | 15:05 |
| James147 | Floo`: havent tested it that much but I havnt knoticed any major problems yet (although I have a higher tollerence for crashing programs then most people :) ) | 15:05 |
| Floo` | James147, shadeslayer : Thank you, i'm gonna wait | 15:05 |

| stephans_ | Hi, I have a problem with kubuntu... in Windows, Mac, Gnome, I can browse to a media file on a network share and click on it to play it... in Kubuntu i insists on downloading the file first! How can I change this behavior so that is meets normal user expectations? Also vls can not use files on a share at all. It says - cant open mrl... | 15:56 |
| stephans_ | help | 15:56 |
| James147 | stephans_: It works here from samba shares in dolphin... what are you using? | 15:59 |
| stephans_ | dolphin. | 15:59 |

| stephans_ | Speeddy|work: I tried smb too.. same result.. | 16:02 |
| James147 | stephans_: try replaceing teh %20 with "\ " (backslash + space) | 16:02 |
| stephans_ | Speeddy|work: nope I just browse the network and klick on the file like any normal user would... they expect that to work because that is how it has always worked. | 16:03 |
| James147 | stephans_: Speeddy|Work: and thats how its working on my computer | 16:03 |
| stephans_ | very strange?! | 16:04 |
| James147 | stephans_: although sftp dosent work smb does | 16:04 |
| stephans_ | I wonder what is different? | 16:04 |
| James147 | stephans_: ^^ using kaffenine or dragon player not vlc | 16:04 |
| stephans_ | james147: dragon player just hangs... | 16:05 |
| James147 | stephans_: through smb? | 16:05 |
| stephans_ | james147: yes through smb. | 16:06 |
| stephans_ | is it the vfs that is not working? | 16:06 |
| James147 | stephans_: the share is password protected? (mine is public) | 16:07 |
| stephans_ | because in nautilus I can do all this... using sftp, smb... | 16:07 |
| stephans_ | james147, yes naturally... but i entered the password. Can see all the files, copy them etc... | 16:08 |
| stephans_ | same share works as expected from windows and mac clients... even ubuntu. | 16:08 |

| n8w | James147: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts did the job | 16:38 |
| tau | James147: sure, but can I use synaptic instead of kpackagekit, same if i am using kubuntu ? will it not cause me problems ? | 16:39 |
| James147 | tau: It wont couse any problems although you will have alot of gnome dependencys due to it being a gnome application | 16:39 |
| syncopated_ | yo | 16:39 |
| n8w | James147: ok everythin works...thx for help man | 16:40 |
| tau | James147: hmm, sure, thank u | 16:41 |
| tau | James147: but i am looking at kpackagekit i am not seeing sections in the interface, isn't there this view method for kpackagetkit like it exists for synaptic ? | 16:43 |
| James147 | tau: Not sure what you mean - I don't know what synaptic looks like :S | 16:44 |
| tau | James147: sure. | 16:44 |
| tau | James147: when you said about i have a lot of dependences if i would use synaptic to download file for kde, i didn't understand what it could be such dependences. what are these dependences ? did you intend to say that i would download no needed files ? | 16:47 |
| James147 | tau: I mean it will install some of gnome on your system | 16:48 |
| tau | James147: sure, but if i have gnome what will it install further ? | 16:49 |
| James147 | tau: and probally ahve a higher memory footprint as you need both gnome and kde librarys running | 16:49 |
| James147 | tau: if you already have gnome it wont make much difference execpt in memory | 16:50 |
| tau | James147: you say hd memory or ram memory ? | 16:50 |
| James147 | tau: memory => ram HD is called storage or disk space :) | 16:51 |
| tau | James147: sure, thank u | 16:51 |
| tau | James147: ohh, i am sorry for being boring. can I ask more a thing ? | 16:51 |
| James147 | tau: sure | 16:52 |
| tau | James147: isn't it a nice idea to have gnome and kde installed ? | 16:52 |
| James147 | tau: it will take up more disk space but there are no major problems with it | 16:52 |
| James147 | tau: you will also need to load more librarys into memory to run gnome appps on kde (or kde apps on gnome) | 16:53 |
| tau | James147: but is it a nice idea if i don't use gnome ? is it a nice idea since it could be complete for some aspects ? | 16:53 |
| James147 | tau: if you dont use gnome then there is little point... it will jsut sue more space. Any gnome app you isntall will install everything it needs to run | 16:54 |
| James147 | tau: I tend to prefure to only use kde apps as I don't want to end up having 2 wallets for passwords or other duplicated behavour running on my system | 16:55 |
| tau | ja James147 how can I distinguish from a kde application and a gnome application ? when i am looking to download a software i didn't see where it warns of this point. | 16:55 |
| James147 | tau: kde applications tend to ahve a dependency to kdebase-* gnome to gnome librarys :S other then that you can filter kde or gnome apps in kpackagekit (in the software managment tab at the end of the search field line after filters there is a drop down box "text search" change that to a catogory you want) | 16:58 |
| James147 | tau: also alot of kde apps have a K in the name :) | 16:58 |
| tau | James147: sure, thank u | 16:59 |
| tau | James147: that shortcut alt+f2 u told me, it is very nice, hehe, now i can access easily the applications. | 17:00 |
| James147 | tau: I tend to only use that now, never really use the menu anymore :D it can also do other things then search applications :) | 17:00 |
| tau | James147: yeah | 17:01 |
| tau | James147: let me take another doubt. what is the best from kde and gnome ? what is one of the two that has more available applications or more complete ? | 17:04 |
| James147 | !best | tau | 17:04 |
| ubottu | tau: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:04 |
| tau | or it is more complete* | 17:05 |
| tau | lol | 17:05 |
| tau | James147: sure. | 17:05 |
| tau | James147: thank u | 17:05 |
| jetrii | Whenever I try to upgrade my system with aptitude, it tries to remove Kubuntu components such as Ktorrent and amarok. and holds back packages that were previously installed on my system... Started happening out of the blue last night | 17:14 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| James147 | jetrii: I would run "sudo aptitude" and use it interactivly to resolve the issues | 17:16 |
| James147 | jis9lapsc2 | 17:16 |
| James147 | dam... | 17:16 |
| jetrii | James147: Good advice. I figured out why the packaged are being held back, I just can't figure out why aptitude is trying to remove existing packages | 17:18 |
| jetrii | The packages held back depend on kdelibs5 >= 4.4.4 which is not available on the Kubuntu repository | 17:19 |
| tau | i am trying to find the quanta plus(a web software developer) by using the kpackagekit but i am not fetching it, what is the key word which i must look for ? | 17:20 |

| James147 | kpackagekit by default only searches the package name so two words tend to confuse it :) you can change it to search teh discription | 17:23 |
| tau | ja yeah | 17:24 |
| tau | James147: yeah | 17:24 |
| James147 | and now to change all my passwords :D | 17:25 |

| zus | i am trying to change in the preferences for firefox to download a torrent with ktorrent and not kget only i dont see where to change it. | 17:30 |
| James147 | zus: Not sure about firefox spifically but kde in general its at System settings > advanced > File Associations | 17:33 |
| zus | James147, thank you bud, i didnt think about checking there...brb | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | zus, you can change the default torrent client when you click on the torrent file, you should get a dialog box asking what to use , click on other then choose usr/bin/ktorrent | 17:36 |
| zus | that worked. | 17:38 |
| * BluesKaj wonders what worked :) | 17:39 | |

| BluesKaj | raindog_, yeah it's java , but it's tied to gtk libs afaik | 17:44 |
| James147 | tau: wine1.2 should work, but you might have better luck with the current development version from http://www.winehq.org/ | 17:45 |
| tau | James147: thank u, u are nice. | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | tau, wine will run some windows apps | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | not all , as James147 pointed out, tau | 17:46 |
| James147 | tau: Also use that site for information on the applications you want to run... not all applications work and alot have glitches in them that site have alot of infor on how ot get things to work | 17:47 |

| gnac | When I maximize windows in KDE, the title bar goes away. I messed with the setting and even changed window decoration style but haven't been able to fix this. Is there a specific setting that controls this? | 18:08 |
| James147 | gnac: do you have the netbook version? | 18:08 |
| gnac | James147: yes, thats what I originally installed. but I am not running plasma-netbook. This is a recent development btw. | 18:09 |

| BluesKaj | wizkoder, oksry, try loclhost:phpbb3 | 18:25 |
| James147 | esperegu: managed to do it by creating a bash script and a entry in kmenuedit | 18:25 |
| esperegu | James147: could you paste me the code? | 18:26 |
| James147 | esperegu: ln -s $1 $HOME/temp/ replacing $HOME/temp/ with the directory you want (it need to exist and be wirteable before you runnit) | 18:26 |
| wizkoder | BluesKaj: Found it. You have to make a link yourself "ln -s /usr/share/phpbb3 /var/www" | 18:27 |
| James147 | esperegu: (with #!/bin/bash as the first line in the script) | 18:27 |
| esperegu | James147: won't $1 contain the whole path? | 18:27 |
| esperegu | James147: (I was trying something similar with basename) | 18:27 |
| James147 | esperegu: yes and it needs the whole path, you cannot use relitive paths in symlinks | 18:28 |
| edgy | Hi, gnome automount my partitions/disks which is nice, can kde do the same? | 18:28 |
| James147 | esperegu: you might want to do a check to make sure $1 is a valid path | 18:28 |
| esperegu | James147: jes. but does ln automatically use the same filename as the link in $HOME/temp/ ? | 18:28 |
| esperegu | James147: you know how? | 18:29 |
| James147 | esperegu: if the dest is a directory (which $HOME/temp/ is) then it creates a link with the orignal filename | 18:29 |
| gnac | James147: sorry for the delay, my ssh pipe to my irssi host stalled and I hadn't noticed until if finally timed out. | 18:29 |
| James147 | esperegu: give me a min to remember :) | 18:29 |
| esperegu | James147: Ok. and how to get it executed? | 18:29 |
| esperegu | James147: cause I did: | 18:30 |
| slow-motion | hi | 18:30 |
| esperegu | #!/bin/sh | 18:30 |
| esperegu | filename = basename $1 | 18:30 |
| esperegu | ln -s $1 /home/jhaarman/linuxmce/${filename} | 18:30 |
| esperegu | and it did not work when I dragged it onto that script | 18:30 |
| James147 | esperegu: worked when I did it (dragging a file onto the link I created to the script on my desktop | 18:31 |
| gnac | James147: yes, I'll try removing kubuntu-netbook-default-settings. | 18:31 |
| James147 | esperegu: that is i created a entry in kmenuedit | 18:31 |
| esperegu | James147: and you put it on destop? | 18:32 |
| James147 | esperegu: draged it form the menu to my desktop | 18:32 |
