What is this all Activity business? How do i change plasma appearance? [00:49] hirunning 10.4 suddenly can't shut down properly help? [00:50] how do i change the system date format? if i go to SYSTEM SETTING-> DATE & TIME the date says 06/18/10 i want it to say 18/06/10 [00:50] sorry, kubuntu 10.04 [00:52] How do i remove a vtt? [00:52] I've already tried under "Regional and language" -> "date and time" but these settings have no effect on the date displayed at SYSTEM SETTING-> DATE & TIME [00:52] ussher_: It should change [00:53] harjot: should and do are different though. I thought it should too. === Guest98419 is now known as deviceb [00:53] Have you tried right clicking on the calendar thing at the bottom on your taskbar? [00:54] havent got one there, ill put one there then right click it. nice idea. [00:54] !activit [00:54] !activity [00:54] i dont get this activity concept, and tips? [00:56] lovre:is your home folder visible on your desktop? [00:56] lovre: What where you on before? [00:56] lovre: 8.04? [00:56] harjot: no love. just the clock settings. [00:57] Hmmm... [00:57] harjot: i was on 9.10 before. my home is not visible on the desktop [00:58] im rebooting that system now to see if it needs a reboot. shouldnt think it would, but worth a try. [00:58] lovre: are you on 10.04 now [00:58] lovre:: Im stilll on 8.04 but i think the activites thing are like widgets and things that move about [00:58] bill: yes [00:58] ussher_: Ok [00:58] lovre: do you see the icon in the top right of your desktop [00:58] there are buttons for "add new activity" but i dont get it, what do i add? nothing seems to change :s [00:58] bill: yes, i do [00:59] bill: says "Desktop" on oit [00:59] bill: says "Desktop" on it [00:59] lovre: drag widgets to your desktop [00:59] lovre: For example pull out the red bouncy ball [00:59] lovre: click on it and the click on Desktop Activity Settings [00:59] bill: ok [01:00] harjot: that did it. guess it needed a bit of force. Thanks very much [01:00] lovre: do you see Activity [01:00] bill: yes [01:00] ussher_: No probs [01:00] lovre: if u click on it what do you see on the right side of the window [01:01] ussher_: I guess it didnt refresh but it changed it [01:01] bill: only two fields, first is "Type" and it says "Desktop" and the other is "name", also says "Desktop" [01:01] harjot: the settings in SYSTEM SETTING-> DATE & TIME started to obey the preferences in "Regional and language" -> "date and time" after the reboot [01:02] ussher_: So basically the values may not change, because they are in use already, and when you shut down, then it changes cause nothing uses it then. [01:02] lovre: if u click on Type, do u get a drop down [01:03] bill: yes, i can choose between "Desktop" and "Folder view" [01:03] harjot: yeah there is usually a message saying the same sort of thing "you need to restart applications in order for settings to take effec" but i didnt think that would apply to the settings setting area. Guess it does. Learnt something.

Other than reinstalling the system? [14:40] gorgonizer: downgrading is not supported and I don't think is easy to do :( [14:41] gorgonizer: you could try removing kde completely and then removing the ppa and reinstall it... not sure how much truoble you would have with that though [14:42] James147: oh well, cheers for the info, guess I will have to reboot every 24 hours until a release candidate is realeased.. [14:43] gorgonizer: :) once every 24 hours aint that bad... most people do that normally, it should be too long before rc is realeased though [14:43] * James147 goes to look up the schdual [14:44] James147: with KDE 4.4 I only ever rebooted when kernel upgrades occurs, with KDE 4.5 plasma-desktop leaks memory like a sieve [14:45] gorgonizer: anyidea what is leaking? you might be alb eto turn it off :) looks to be realeas about the 7th july - http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.5_Release_Schedule === sony is now known as Guest46031 [14:47] James147: I have read on various webpages that it may be either the systray or Ktorrent, either which I currently cannot do without.. [14:47] gorgonizer: if it is ktorrent, then would not restaring ktorrent fix the problem (rather then restaring the system) [14:49] gorgonizer: also you could try to find out what is actually causing the problem... ksysguard or top can help with that [14:50] After 24 hours palsma-desktop uses 1.5GB of system memory, and closing KTorrent makes no difference at this point.. I would need to restart the system with KTorrent closed and run the system for 24 hours to fully test that it is Ktorrent causing issues, however, I am testing things with KTorrent at the moment.. [14:51] gorgonizer: sounds like its plasma-desktop then, you should just beble to restart that without needing to restart the system though [14:51] gorgonizer: hell, you could write a script to restart it every few hours without much problem :) [14:52] gorgonizer: as a temp fix untill rc [14:52] hi everyone, afetr all, thanks for the help. my issue is with an external hdd, correctly detected in wind*ws, but once pluged in ubuntu 9.04, it makes a noise and is not detected. it is in nfts, and formmated, i dont have data inside. thanks again [14:52] James147: ture, I could, but I restart in that hope that plasma-desktop will remember my plasmoid settings (position and size, rather than just position), which it never does :) [14:53] James147: will try the restarting of plasma-desktop next time it ruins my KDE experience :) cheers for the advice. [14:53] gorgonizer: kquitapp plasma-desktop might be more frendly then killall :) [14:53] gorgonizer: although I am not sure of the difference between them [14:53] hi, 10.4 here. including an attachment in sent mail makes the machine terminally freeze in mid of sending. happens with thunderbird and kmail. reinstalled th and kmail, fresh profies, checked disk and filesystem thoroughly. i'm desperate. any ideas? [14:54] James147: I have heard that, and have tried it as well, didn't help with the plasmoid size issue :( [14:56] gorgonizer: if not a logout/login should work just as well as a reboot :) [14:56] James147: okay :) will keep that in mind :) [14:57] gorgonizer: since the problem is with user level programs and not the system its self === goodtime is now known as goodtime_ === goodtime_ is now known as goodtime__ === goodtime__ is now known as goodtime [14:59] gorgonizer: form what i can tell it looks like kquitapp is ment to save plasma-desktops settings (same with logout) not sure why it wouldnet on your comp [15:01] James147: good to knwo that my PC and me are being weird, as usual.
