[00:03] <James147> AnxiousNut: I have no clue how to do things from gnome sorry
[00:04] <AnxiousNut> James147, i just need to know the name of the theming application or under which package it exist
[00:07] <James147> AnxiousNut: its part of the system settings in kde
[00:09] <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 :)
[00:13] <srikant> amichair: :-(
[00:14] <srikant> amichair: Can I get link to instructions for OEM installation mode in Lucid Kubutu
[00:14] <amichair> srikant: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuOEMInstaller
[00:16] <srikant> kde 4.4.4 crashes while removing plasma device notifier from system tray :(
[00:16] <srikant> amichair: thanks
[00:17] <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
[00:19] <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 ?
[00:22] <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)
[00:23] <srikant> amichair: Thanks a lot
[00:23] <amichair> srikant: good luck :-)
[00:51] <bandura> is there anyone to ask about konqueror browser?
[00:52] <Tm_T> ask the question and find out (:
[00:52] <mase_wk> bandura: generally you just ask your question
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <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
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <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"
[00:59] <James147> bandura: ^^ sorry
[00:59] <mase_wk> =)
[01:00] <James147> bandura: also, about the ntfs drive you might need to mount them first
[01:01] <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...
[01:02] <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)
[01:03] <fabio333> hi there!
[01:03] <James147> bandura: possibly by hitting F9 in konq and selecting the "places" tab
[01:04] <fabio333> did you see the bold face or what?
[01:04] <James147> fabio333: ??
[01:05] <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 :)
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <fabio333> what is yours?
[01:07] <James147> fabio333: I use quassel and am fine with it
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <fabio333> bandure let me try
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <bandura> there is only the home folder
[01:11] <fabio333> you have to use the device notifier
[01:12] <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)
[01:14] <fabio333> does bold font work here?
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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...
[01:17] <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 :)
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <bandura> that's interesting, haw can I install this?
[01:19] <fabio333> this is still beta stuff
[01:20] <James147> bandura: sudo aptitude install ntfs-config
[01:20] <fabio333> i mean the 4.5: am i supposed tu use konqueror as a browser?
[01:21] <bandura> if I do this in gnome, would it have any difference, cause I am inubuntu mode now...
[01:22] <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
[01:23] <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 ^^
[01:24] <bandura> thank you very much
[01:26] <bandura> I ll be back in 20 mins...
[01:37] <bandura> james thanks, it worked perfectly
[01:43] <indio_> hi all

[02:39] <indio_> I tried this configuration inside an esxi, building up a bridge

[02:40] <indio_> am i missing something?
[02:42] <vot> hi guys
[02:43] <indio_> hi

[03:35] <James147> phoenix__: hi :)
[03:36] <phoenix__> James147: do you know how to configure aac settings
[03:37] <zus> does anyone use KDEnlive  for video editing?
[03:38] <zus> what are the mjpegtools? i tried to install them and i get a "the package mjpegtools should be rebuilt with new debhelper to get trigger support.  what do i do now?
[03:39] <James147> phoenix__: not sure :s
[03:44] <alepando> hello from Chile... i did now installer Kubuntu
[03:47] <khider> hello all, how do I switch to an earlier version of the kernel when I boot up? The latest kernel has serious problems for me.
[03:48] <khider> I get no grub menu when I boot
[03:48] <khider> It just boots and skips the kernel menu options
[03:49] <vot> James i thought so but weirdly i cant see it in the package manager
[03:49] <vot> via aptitude i could install it
[03:50] <khider> any idea how to switch to an earlier kernel?
[03:52] <khider> how do I get a grub menu at boot?
[03:52] <odhinn> khider: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Where%20did%20my%20Grub2%20boot%20menu%20go!?!?!
[03:52] <odhinn> that will tell you how to unhide your grub2 menu
[04:41] <gregory> howdie
[04:42] <gregory> exit
[06:19] <khider> After my update, I lost all visuals fo video playback. Anyone know what I can do to get them back?
[06:20] <khider> VLC, SMplayer, .avi, mpeg or DVD---visuals are just black. But audio plays fine though.
[06:26] <zus>  is there a reason why id be getting a Connection failed
[06:26] <zus> Err http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ lucid/non-free Translation-en_US
[06:29] <khider> Anyone know how to get the image back for video playback?
[06:29] <khider> After today's update it disapeared. That never happened before.
[07:00] <zus> i have a w-get log in my home folder can i delete it? whats it for?/
[07:02] <remanifest> Is there any way I can hold back packages during dist-upgrade?
[07:02] <mase_wk> zus: if your download has finished yes :)
[07:02] <mase_wk> remanifest: yes there is.....i can't tell you how to do ti b/c i can't remember but i have done it before
[07:03] <remanifest> mase_wk: do you know where I might look?  google is turning up nonsense
[07:03] <zus> mase_wk,  ok.. thank you what is the w-get log?
[07:11] <mase_wk> remanifest: well i found it on google last time i did it because i keep forgetting to write it down
[07:11] <mase_wk> what are you searching for ?
[07:12] <mase_wk> i think i used like blacklist package
[07:12] <mase_wk> or something similar
[07:29] <remanifest> mase_wk: I found it... pinning
[07:30] <mase_wk> ah yeh thats it
[07:30] <mase_wk> good work :)
[07:30] <remanifest> heh thanks
[09:12] <suro> 3gp converter
[09:13] <well_laid_lawn> I don't think he's here atm...
[09:17] <BiggFREE> Hi
[09:22] <lyhana8> hi, how do I add several tags at a time with dolphin ?
[10:28] <voicu> silly question, does kubuntu have a repo that always has the unstable version? like with debian? so that i can have the latest versions of all the software all the time
[10:28] <well_laid_lawn> !ppa
[10:29] <voicu> ok, but aren't ppa's specific for each release?
[10:30] <voicu> if a new one appears the ppa changes
[10:30] <well_laid_lawn> adds a dir for the new release name afaik
[10:31] <voicu> aham
[10:31] <voicu> i'll see how it works
[10:35] <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. :\
[10:46] <well_laid_lawn> contrast: got the line   background no   in conkyrc?
[10:46] <contrast> yup
[10:47] <well_laid_lawn> commented or have no line   own window   ?
[10:49] <contrast> tried commented and uncommented, same results... i have the line "own_window yes"
[10:51] <well_laid_lawn> what's in the rc for own_window_type?
[10:52] <contrast> desktop
[10:53] <well_laid_lawn> same here and mine is transparent - i could paste minee and you could try it
[10:53] <well_laid_lawn> *mine
[10:54] <contrast> well_laid_lawn: that'd be great. :)
[10:54] <well_laid_lawn> one min
[10:54] <contrast> well_laid_lawn: are you using feh or anything else to set the root window's bg?
[10:54] <well_laid_lawn> nope
[10:57] <muddder> http://paste.ubuntu.com/444519/
[10:57] <well_laid_lawn> contrast: ^^
[10:57] <contrast> well_laid_lawn: gorgeous, thanks. just save that to ~/.conkyrc , right?
[10:58] <well_laid_lawn> yep - or another name and use   conky -c /path
[10:59] <well_laid_lawn> kill the other running conky's first tho contrast
[11:02] <contrast> weird...
[11:02] <well_laid_lawn> ?
[11:03] <contrast> it shows up, but firefox is showing up on the root window (even though it's minimized)
[11:04] <contrast> well_laid_lawn: i have some plasma widgets on the desktop which update every second. could that be interfering?
[11:05] <well_laid_lawn> could be the case - i don't have much experience with the workings of the plasma widgets
[11:05] <well_laid_lawn> was the conky traansparent?
[11:06] <contrast> ehh, kinda, i guess... i'll pastebin an image...
[11:07] <contrast> well_laid_lawn: http://imagebin.ca/view/zKZBDxc0.html
[11:08] <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
[11:10] <contrast> i doubt it's relevant, but this comes up in the terminal when i start conky: Conky: can't load font '8x12'
[11:11] <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
[11:12] <daedaluz> how can I set kde to only show apps in toolbar that are on current desktop, not on all
[11:12] <contrast> bada bing
[11:12] <contrast> i just quit plasma-desktop, set the background via feh, and now it appears to be working
[11:12] <well_laid_lawn> all good contrast ?
[11:12] <well_laid_lawn> k
[11:13] <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?
[11:14] <well_laid_lawn> the systray part
[11:19] <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. :)
[11:20] <well_laid_lawn> not the best solution but if you're happy then :]
[11:21] <daedaluz> James147: ah, thanks, it was hidden and not accessible behind open programs, had to close some first
[11:21] <contrast> pgodf8ijhad0p9g8sdkjxogzv;
[11:23] <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
[11:24] <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
[11:26] <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.
[11:27] <contrast> sounds like they get along well enough on your system. =\
[11:28] <well_laid_lawn> that was a kede 3.5 in a vm I posted that rc from
[11:28] <contrast> umm...
[11:29] <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...
[11:30] <contrast> wtf
[11:30] <well_laid_lawn> apart from your screen shot
[11:31] <well_laid_lawn> I mainly use my server
[11:32] <well_laid_lawn> again - qt has never been freindly to conky fans
[11:35] <pawleeq> hello
[11:38] <pawleeq> I use kde4.4.2 on 10.04. While editing files on remote server KDE makes temporary copy and uploads it to the server when closing the editor. Can I change this so the file is uploaded whenever i save the file?
[11:38] <rohit_> there are total of 4 drives in windows...but when i boot live cd partition manager doesnt detect aany drives...its showing entire hardisk as a single drive,,,...HELP Please
[11:39] <Tm_T> rohit_: drives or partitions?
[11:39] <Tm_T> drive is the device, partition is... what you prolly call drive in Windows
[11:39] <rohit_> partitions
[11:40] <rohit_> 4 partitions on a single sata hard disk.
[11:40] <bazhang> rohit_, any reason to crosspost as two different nicks in #ubuntu and here?
[11:40] <James147> rohit_: what in the live cd is showing one "drive"?
[11:42] <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?
[11:43] <rohit_> yeah kubuntu installer...
[11:44] <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?
[11:46] <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.....
[11:47] <James147> rohit_: that is right, but where do you want to install it?
[11:48] <James147> rohit_: by shrink and creating a new parition or by overwriting one?
[11:49] <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.
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <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)
[11:52] <rohit_> i gave fdisk -l...all the partitions are visible...but partition maanager isnt detecting them...
[11:54] <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!
[11:55] <rohit_> done many times ...
[11:55] <James147> rohit_: probally,
[11:56] <rohit_> k quitting for now and will be right back..Thanks ppl :)
[12:00] <arch0njw> I just noticed that Kubuntu did an automatic update for me.  How do I turn that off?  I want to know what is being installed, not have it do it for me.
[12:01] <arch0njw> And in KPackageKit, under "Settings" on the "Update" tab, I have "Only notify about available updates" checked.
[12:04] <James147> arch0njw: this 'might' be helpful > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates
[12:12] <arch0njw> James147: thanks.  Very interesting.  I swear this didn't happen under Karmic, and this is my computer -- there is no one else around who knows how to do this
[12:15] <James147> arch0njw: dident think any version was set to auto update :S
[12:16] <rohit_> @james147 uploaded images
[12:16] <rohit_> this is my windows > http://imagebin.ca/view/Uj-KB26v.html
[12:17] <rohit_> kubuntu installer>http://imagebin.ca/view/wZBYBV.html
[12:17] <rohit_> fdisk -l >http://imagebin.ca/view/CH8fiE6r.html
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <rohit_> how to activate text installer in a live cd?
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <rohit_> thankyou james.Will try :D
[12:22] <rohit_> bye.Thanks once again :)

[12:39] <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?
[12:43] <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
[12:47] <azra> James147: fgrep -ie 'audio' /etc/group
[12:47] <azra> the output of this command is "audio:x:29:"
[12:47] <azra> James147: it supposed to be audio:x:29:pulse
[12:50] <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
[12:51] <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
[12:52] <azra> How? i am a new user of ubuntu
[12:54] <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?)

[12:58] <tau> hey, i installed the kubuntu but i didn't like its theme, how can I do to choose another theme ? is there some tool to personalize a theme, to make one too ?
[12:59] <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)
[13:00] <tau> James147:  sure, thank you,
[13:00] <azra> it didn't work for me:(
[13:01] <azra> James147: the first link you sent didn't work
[13:02] <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.
[13:03] <azra> James147: I bought 2 dell vostro 1014, ubuntu 10.04 works fine, but kubuntu10.04 having sound problem

[13:17] <tau> James147:  that's nice, thank you, :))
[13:19] <reda> plz people i need an accelerator for internet any propositions
[13:20] <James147> reda: Not sure I understand what you want? Do you mean you need an accelerometer (or need to get one to work)?
[13:54] <halali> hello to all
[13:54] <tau> hi halali .
[13:54] <tau> hingo:  how are u
[13:54] <halali> could someone gimme a helping hand cuz im new to linux and made something wrong:)?
[13:54] <James147> !hi | halali
[13:54] <James147> !help | halali
[13:55] <halali> okay thanks, and sorry for being inappropriate for the first time here:)
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <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
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <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
[14:00] <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 ?
[14:02] <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
[14:03] <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
[14:04] <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.
[14:06] <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)
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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?
[14:09] <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! :)
[14:11] <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] <James147> azra: I do not know, you could try it
[14:12] <azra> James147: i love kde thats why i installed kubuntu, otherwise ubuntu with gnome works for me in 9.10
[14:14] <halali> here is my desktop : http://i49.tinypic.com/t4wt9y.jpg
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <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?
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <vargadanis> halali, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[14:18] <vargadanis> in konsole
[14:26] <halali> thanks for help guys
[14:27] <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
[14:29] <James147> halali: System settings > Apperence > Icons > Advanced > (Icon type you want to change) > Size: To the size you want
[14:30] <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
[14:31] <halali> James147: thanks i found where to change icon size, what is funny that nothing happened when i changed to the max size available
[14:37] <halali> thank you for your help guys ill try to do somethingy
[14:39] <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
[14:46] <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?
[14:48] <James147> Whammo: du -s /*    will give you the total size of all the folder inside root
[14:49] <James147> Whammo:  add -h to make it easier to read :)
[14:51] <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?
[14:52] <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!
[14:54] <James147> Whammo: or get http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/filelight?content=99561
[14:55] <Whammo> James147: hmm looks nice
[14:55] <Whammo> filelight
[14:56] <Whammo> whoosp not term ;)
[14:59] <chuckf> when I'm looking for directories over a gig I like to use 'du -h /path/to/dir | grep [0-9]G'
[15:01] <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 ?
[15:03] <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 :(
[15:04] <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..
[15:05] <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

[15:51] <James147> Speeddy|Work: A  little
[15:51] <Speeddy|Work> ok. im having problems with firefox (maybe other apps too, but not certain) respecting what is in there
[15:52] <Speeddy|Work> basically, I have a couple of entries for slow-loading ad server sites in there set to 127.0.0.1 but for some reason firefox still appears to try to connect to them
[15:52] <Speeddy|Work> them being the real ip of the site..

[15:54] <Speeddy|Work> ill check chrome and get back to you
[15:56] <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
[15:59] <James147> stephans_: It works here from samba shares in dolphin... what are you using?
[15:59] <stephans_> dolphin.
[16:00] <stephans_> I tried sftp://... to the mac and linux computers...
[16:00] <stephans_> let me try samba...
[16:01] <sebastian_> hey guys im looking for an ftp client with sftp support that has a gui, any ideas?
[16:01] <Speeddy|Work> sebastian_, filezilla
[16:01] <stephans_> james147: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://stephans@burner2-vm/Videos/A%20Perfect%20Getaway.m4v'
[16:01] <Speeddy|Work> stephans_,  sftp is a file transfer protocol, the fact that its trying to download the file is expected behavior if you are using sftp://
[16:01] <bazhang> !info filezilla
[16:02] <sebastian_> thx a lot speedy :)
[16:02] <Speeddy|Work> stephans_, are you trying to use the files without mounting the shares locally?
[16:02] <stephans_> Speeddy|work: I tried smb too.. same result..
[16:02] <James147> stephans_: try replaceing teh %20 with "\ " (backslash + space)
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <stephans_> james147: dragon player just hangs...
[16:05] <James147> stephans_: through smb?
[16:06] <stephans_> james147: yes through smb.
[16:06] <stephans_> is it the vfs that is not working?
[16:07] <James147> stephans_: the share is password protected? (mine is public)
[16:07] <stephans_> because in nautilus I can do all this... using sftp, smb...
[16:08] <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] <stephans_> Not with Kubuntu though... :(
[16:09] <James147> stephans_: not sure why that would be sorry :(
[16:19] <n8w> hey
[16:20] <n8w> im gettin problems installin kubuntu-restricted-extras ......... sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras says that i already have the newest version,but im pretty sure i dont
[16:20] <n8w> kpackage doesnt show KRE as bein installed as well
[16:23] <James147> n8w: what does "aptitude show kubuntu-restricted-extras | grep State" say?
[16:23] <n8w> James147:  State: installed
[16:24] <James147> n8w: looks to be installed :) what makes you think you dont have it?
[16:24] <n8w> James147:  damn this is toaly weird...i mean KRE contain sun java right? why dont i have it then...
[16:24] <James147> n8w: are you using lucid?
[16:24] <n8w> James147:  yes
[16:25] <James147> n8w: suns java was removed in lucid then put back again in partner repo
[16:25] <n8w> James147:  ive uninstall openjdk so ive got no java right now...i would like to use sun java instead of open jdk(cpu 100% when open jdk in use)
[16:26] <n8w> James147:  aha..hmm what am i supposed to do now then?
[16:26] <James147> n8w: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sun-java-moved-to-the-partner-repository-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html
[16:26] <bazhang> !partner
[16:27] <n8w> James147:  ohh thx a lot man:)
[16:28] <apparle> n8w: hey did your hiberate problem get solved the other day?
[16:28] <n8w> apparle:  hey
[16:28] <n8w> apparle:  ye man i did uuuu:)))
[16:29] <n8w> apparle:  i was playin around with the s2disk cfg
[16:30] <n8w> apparle:  the problem was that the value for max system image size was too low...i mean there was a default value, so ive increases it to 2.8 G n now it works
[16:31] <n8w> apparle:  i mean not 100% but like 70% i would say...the hibernation process is successful 7 times out of 10 which is ok:)))
[16:32] <apparle> :D
[16:34] <n8w> apparle:  the weird thing was that it didnt say anythin about not havin enough space...i had to increase the level of log diag
[16:35] <n8w> apparle:  thats the way ive found out whats wrong...i tell u,s2disk is great but not on 10.4
[16:35] <apparle> I myself never hibernate, system boots faster normally
[16:36] <n8w> James147:  ok i got the repo...what now
[16:36] <tau> hey, isn't the synaptic a natural package for kubuntu ? is there another package file system as synaptic which is naturaly used in kubuntu ?
[16:36] <James147> n8w: refresh the package list and install suns java :)
[16:36] <n8w> James147:  heh well fcourse ive tried that, but no java;9
[16:36] <James147> tau: kpackagekit is used by kubuntu
[16:36] <tau> i tried to find the synaptic into menu's kubuntu i didn't find it
[16:37] <tau> James147:  hmm, how can I find kpackagekit into kubuntu's menu ?
[16:37] <tau> James147:  what is the name used by it ?
[16:37] <n8w> James147:  aight i got it.....
[16:38] <James147> tau: (alt  + F2 > type kpackagekit) or kmenu (search there or ) > System
[16:38] <n8w> James147:  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts did the job
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <n8w> James147:  ok everythin works...thx for help man
[16:41] <tau> James147:  hmm, sure, thank u
[16:43] <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 ?
[16:44] <James147> tau: Not sure what you mean - I don't know what synaptic looks like :S
[16:44] <tau> James147:  sure.
[16:47] <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 ?
[16:48] <James147> tau: I mean it will install some of gnome on your system
[16:49] <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
[16:50] <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 ?
[16:51] <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 ?
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <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 ?
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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.
[16:58] <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 :)
[16:59] <tau> James147:  sure, thank u
[17:00] <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 :)
[17:01] <tau> James147:  yeah
[17:04] <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
[17:05] <tau> or it is more complete*
[17:05] <tau> lol
[17:05] <tau> James147:  sure.
[17:05] <tau> James147:  thank u
[17:14] <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
[17:16] <James147> jetrii: I would run "sudo aptitude" and use it interactivly to resolve the issues
[17:16] <James147> jis9lapsc2
[17:16] <James147> dam...
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <jetrii> The packages held back depend on kdelibs5 >= 4.4.4 which is not available on the Kubuntu repository
[17:20] <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 ?
[17:21] <James147> tau: "quanta"
[17:22] <bertoldo> Hi everyone
[17:22] <tau> James147:  oh yeah, i got it.
[17:22] <tau> James147:  at next i will use only the first word. lol
[17:23] <bertoldo> I'm looking for a guidance to start developing on Kubuntu.
[17:23] <James147> kpackagekit by default only searches the package name so two words tend to confuse it :) you can change it to search teh discription
[17:24] <tau> ja yeah
[17:24] <tau> James147:  yeah
[17:25] <James147> and now to change all my passwords :D
[17:27] <tau> James147:  hum ?
[17:27] <James147> tau: accdently tryed it into the channel :S
[17:27] <tau> James147:  k
[17:28] <James147> O well, was about time I changed it anyway :)
[17:29] <tau> James147:  where are u from
[17:29] <James147> tau: UK
[17:29] <tau> James147:  k
[17:30] <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.
[17:33] <James147> zus: Not sure about firefox spifically but kde in general its at System settings > advanced > File Associations
[17:34] <zus> James147,  thank you bud, i didnt think about checking there...brb
[17:36] <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
[17:38] <zus> that worked.
[17:39]  * BluesKaj wonders what worked :)
[17:39] <Peace-> xD
[17:40] <BluesKaj> I use deluge due to it's blocklist option , good for preventing sniffer apps looking for IPs
[17:43] <eagles0513875> hey BluesKaj
[17:43] <BluesKaj> deluge isn't a kde app, but it's a good example of a gtk app that works better for my purposes
[17:43] <BluesKaj> hi eagles0513875
[17:43] <raindog_> BluesKaj: Isn't Deluge a Java app?
[17:44] <tau> hey, i would like to download the wine but i found at kpackagekit a lot of packages available i don't know what are the packages i have to download, what is the package which i need to instal to run common windows applications ?
[17:44] <BluesKaj> raindog_, yeah it's java , but it's tied to gtk libs afaik
[17:45] <James147> tau: wine1.2   should work, but you might have better luck with the current development version from http://www.winehq.org/
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <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] <James147> BluesKaj: I ment that 1.2 was the packages he wanted :)
[17:48]  * James147 is shocked to see Left 4 Dead in the top 10 plat list 
[17:49] <BluesKaj> winehq doesn't mention all apps , for example preety good solitaire runs great , but isn't listed at winehq
[17:49] <BluesKaj> err pretty good solitaire
[17:49] <tau> James147:  sure.;
[17:49] <James147> BluesKaj: obviously, but it dose try to make a good attempt at it :)
[17:51] <BluesKaj> I almost have wifey convinced to drop vista for kubuntu after showing her how well PGS runs on my lucid box :)
[17:51]  * James147 thinks its time to start testing some games on wine again
[17:52] <tau> hehe, maybe i can run counter strinke by using it.
[17:52] <tau> strike*
[17:52] <BluesKaj> James147, guess i should submit PGS as a candidate for winehq
[17:52] <James147> tau: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3731 --- looks like it will run well under wine
[17:52] <tau> James147:  nice, i will take a look on it.
[17:53] <BluesKaj> solitaire is about my speed for games  :)
[17:53] <James147> BluesKaj:  :D
[17:53] <James147> BluesKaj: kde has a native client for that :) is emulating it worth it?
[17:54] <BluesKaj> James147, for pretty good solitaire ?
[17:54] <BluesKaj> it's not open source
[17:54]  * BluesKaj looks
[17:54] <James147> BluesKaj: for solitaire in general :S
[17:57] <James147> BluesKaj: "KPatience"  A card game with solitaire games Klondike, Spider, FreeCell and other card games included.
[17:57] <BluesKaj> PGS is written for windows and mac , but runs smoothly and well in wine too
[17:57] <BluesKaj> yes James147 , i have that as well
[17:59] <BluesKaj> well, time put away the tools and saws, rainclouds approaching ...bbl
[18:02] <dcorbin_work> Is there a way to have the "panel" (taskbar) be opaque?
[18:03] <tau> dcorbin_work:  i am not sure but i remember to have seen a option for it in setting options for panel.
[18:04] <apparle> BluesKaj: kpatience has nice solitaire, better than the windows default solitaire. but I have not tried PGS
[18:04] <apparle> dcorbin_work: in desktop settings disable transperancy
[18:05] <apparle> dcorbin_work: sorry not there
[18:08] <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?
[18:09] <gnac> James147: yes, thats what I originally installed. but I am not running plasma-netbook.  This is a recent development btw.
[18:10] <James147> gnac: might want to see if kubuntu-netbook-default-settings  is installed
[18:10] <James147> gnac: (and remove it if it is)
[18:13] <dcorbin_work> tau: i can't see anything there.  There's really nothing there that's very visual.
[18:14] <esperegu> is it possible to have an icon so that when you drop a file on it it will create a symlink in a specified folder to the specific file?
[18:14] <tau> dcorbin_work:  sure.
[18:15] <tau> dcorbin_work:  i was wrong, sorry.
[18:15] <lostsurfpb> algum brasileiro na area?
[18:19] <zus> need help with kmail. when using me emailing with my personal name it shows my zus email
[18:19] <wizkoder> esperegu: I don't think so ;)
[18:19] <zus> um..
[18:20] <zus> when using my personal name it lists the zus email next to it
[18:21] <wizkoder> I installed phpbb3. But how do I access it?
[18:21] <wizkoder> /localhost/phpbb3 does nothing
[18:22] <BluesKaj> wizkoder, how about alt+f2  phpbb3/
[18:23] <wizkoder> BluesKaj: Its a website and not a program
[18:24] <James147> esperegu: Yes :)
[18:25] <esperegu> James147: how?
[18:25] <zus> fixed it: kontact>kmail>settings>configure kmail>identities> *modify in my case*>advance: special transport ...
[18:25] <BluesKaj> wizkoder, oksry, try loclhost:phpbb3
[18:25] <James147> esperegu: managed to do it by creating a bash script and a entry in kmenuedit
[18:26] <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)
[18:27] <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)
[18:28] <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/ ?
[18:29] <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?
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <esperegu> James147: and you put it on destop?
[18:32] <James147> esperegu: draged it form the menu to my desktop
[18:32] <zus> when trying to send mail with zus account i get this The server responded: "5.5.1 RCPT first. v2sm18881120ybh.4"   i tried to google it  it says search turned up nothing
[18:33] <gnac> James147: sweet, that fixed it.  Thanks
[18:39] <sidHart> in kget i limit connection to just 1 but the 2nd item says stopped. shud it be 'in queue' which makes more sense?  kget used to have this status but not anymore
[18:40] <zus> RUTTIN' Gmail....i fixed my issue...somehow the setting in GMAIL wasnt set..
[18:42] <esperegu> James147: anything special you did with the icon? when I just run the script with the total path of the filename it worus.
[18:42] <esperegu> but dropping it on it  does not
[18:42] <James147> esperegu: http://pastebin.com/8KAa4uQB << checks to see if $1 exists and if you dont already ahve a symlink
[18:43] <James147> esperegu: (i think)
[18:44] <James147> esperegu: I opened kmenuedit > added an entry with the command "bash /home/james/test.sh " in it, then draged that to the desktop
[18:44] <esperegu> sorry. had a Typo in the script path
[18:44] <esperegu> seems to work now
[18:44] <esperegu> cool man
[18:44] <esperegu> thx a lot
[18:44] <FloodBotK1> esperegu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:44] <esperegu> =)
[18:46] <esperegu> James147: hmmm.
[18:46] <esperegu> James147:  is it also posible to get a popup asking for the filename?
[18:47] <esperegu> looks like it
[18:48] <James147> esperegu: kdialog --inputbox MESSAGE INIT    :)
[18:50] <esperegu> James147: how to use the output of that?
[18:52] <James147> esperegu: filename=`kdialog --inputbox "Enter the path" $HOME`
[18:53] <James147> esperegu: or better yet use --getexistingdirectory
[18:54] <esperegu> James147: where?
[18:55] <esperegu> James147: looking nice this way
[18:57] <James147> esperegu: or --getopenfilename  cant seem to see a way to get files and directorys :(

[20:09] <James147> rooster_: Note: ~/ means your home directory (/home/USERNAME)
[20:10] <James147> rooster_: but you really should ask in #winehq about how to configure wine
[20:10] <rooster_> ok
