| thejackal221_ | if my question was unclear please let me know | 02:30 |
| thejackal221_ | Is there anyone there? | 02:33 |
| jcgs | thejackal221_: i am | 02:41 |
| jcgs | thejackal221_ what do you mean kdedirs? | 02:42 |
| thejackal221_ | jcgs the exact instuctions are n both cases you need set the KDEDIRS environment variable to point to the | 02:43 |
| thejackal221_ | installation directory of both KDE4 and KDevPlatform. | 02:43 |
| jcgs | thejackal221_: in the shell is that? | 02:43 |
| jcgs | export KDEDIRS=whatever | 02:44 |
| jcgs | thejackal221_: is that what you meant? | 02:45 |
| thejackal221_ | Yes I think so | 02:45 |
| jcgs | the installation directory is probably /usr | 02:45 |
| jcgs | but you'd have to check what's supposed to be in the directory you want | 02:45 |
| thejackal221_ | thanks | 02:46 |

| espadan7 | Hello all umm I had xbmc install on my Kubuntu 10.04 64bit but after doing updates it uninstalls on its own and it wont let me reinstall it. is anyone else having the same problem? | 04:24 |
| komodo1969 | using kubuntu 10.04 LTS - 'How do I disable bluetooth and wireless on startup?' | 04:24 |
| Dan_L | Ok. Lemme help you: | 04:24 |
| Dan_L | right click on your desktop, click unlock widgets. find the widget in your tray, properties, tell it to not start ever again, yada yada. | 04:25 |
| Dan_L | Now,m since I know you're like me and you probably once used windows: | 04:25 |
| komodo1969 | yea... | 04:25 |
| komodo1969 | your right...i didn't men to though | 04:26 |
| komodo1969 | *mean | 04:26 |
| Dan_L | autostart is for things that aren't widgets. You can change that by going into the autostart configuration thing. Want to know a dirty trick about Kubuntu? | 04:26 |
| Dan_L | bring up your keystroke launcher | 04:26 |
| Dan_L | and just type "autostart" | 04:26 |
| komodo1969 | alt-f2? | 04:26 |
| Dan_L | As a matter of fact, many many many things kinda just work with that keystroke launcher. | 04:26 |
| Dan_L | errrr I forget what it is by default | 04:26 |
| Dan_L | krunner, I think it's called? | 04:27 |
| Dan_L | but seriously: if you're suffering from "whut's this called syndrome?" which you will for quite some time----that's your best friend. | 04:27 |
| komodo1969 | yea - that worked....autostart is up | 04:27 |
| Dan_L | You won't need to mess with that for this----but I figured I'd just tell ya about it anyhow:) | 04:27 |
| Dan_L | just kill the plasmoid in the tray. | 04:28 |
| komodo1969 | OH!! so it;s a plasmoid-thingy | 04:28 |
| Dan_L | Yes. | 04:28 |
| Dan_L | [22:25:32] <Dan_L> right click on your desktop, click unlock widgets. find the widget in your tray, properties, tell it to not start ever again, yada yada. | 04:28 |
| Dan_L | I was just trying to give you more information than you needed. | 04:28 |

| Dan_L | Because I learn best when I get the big picture. | 04:29 |

| komodo1969 | I don't have bluetooth on my netbook. I don't want to uninstall it, just don't want it starting on system start | 04:32 |
| Dan_L | That's weird. Lemme look. | 04:33 |

| tranquilwaters | past week it happened a few times that all of a sudden the text direction in kate switched from LTR to RTL, and only in a few lines :S moving the cursor down a few lines, there the text is normal LTR again... anyone got a clue what's going on? | 12:04 |
| tranquilwaters | I am unaware of some switching shortcut, but if such a thing is the evildoer I would love to know so I can disable it | 12:04 |
| jtheuer | tranquilwaters: I had similar problem but that clearly where graphic card issues and no related to kate only ;-) | 12:07 |
| tranquilwaters | jtheuer: can you tell me more about the problems you had? | 12:08 |
| tranquilwaters | I have only noticed it on kate... I've been using it all morning to type some python, and it happens quite random... I figured out that if I ctrl-Z a bit until i am at the point before the switch, and then type the exact same thing again the text direction does not switch | 12:09 |
| jtheuer | tranquilwaters: very, very much text caused scrolling issues in kate and konqueror. Some lines didn't scroll and so on. Not yet resolved | 12:09 |
| tranquilwaters | I haven't had any other problems that I noticed | 12:09 |
| jtheuer | intel integrated card, nothing special. the usual subnotebook crap | 12:10 |

| BigC_ | can you give me a link to tell me what "nepomuk" is? | 15:59 |
| nerdy_kid | 4.5 seems to fix that though | 15:59 |
| nerdy_kid | nepomuk is kde's file indexer -- simply put that is. a little more complicated but i dont understand all of it. | 15:59 |
| nerdy_kid | you can disable it under systemsettings | 16:00 |
| BigC_ | oh, well Kubuntu compared to openSUSE KDE, Kubuntu uses (on my computer) around 400 MB average on a default install, while openSUSE uses around 130 MB. | 16:01 |
| BigC_ | thats of memory | 16:01 |
| nerdy_kid | BigC_ ah not sure...you can check using system monitor (ctrl esc) to see which processes are using the most ram | 16:02 |
| === jt|away is now known as jtheuer | ||
| nerdy_kid | click the memory tab to sort acording to memory usage | 16:02 |
| BigC_ | ok, currently I am using, get ready, ubuntu, so I dont have KDE installed | 16:03 |
| BigC_ | even thought I know how to install the KDE packages through ubuntu, I just dont want to right now. | 16:03 |
| nerdy_kid | oh ok. yeah not sure about it sorry. that is a huge difference though. | 16:04 |
| BigC_ | but I was just asking out of my previous experiences. It seemed like a big difference. | 16:04 |
| BigC_ | cause Kubuntu would lag just when moving windows, but opensuse kde was smooth. | 16:05 |
| nerdy_kid | BigC_ strange, opensuse has always been at least twice as slow as kubuntu for me. | 16:06 |
| BigC_ | the only time opensuse has been slow for me was when I popped the live cd into a laptop, but I think it was just KDE. | 16:08 |
| BigC_ | it was also slow for Kubuntu to load to, so thats why I am thinking it is just KDE | 16:08 |
| nerdy_kid | livecds are always slow -- i installed opensuse next to kubuntu and opensuse just crawled. idk... | 16:09 |
| Elench | nerdy_kid: do you use webkit with sites that have flash content? | 16:25 |
| nerdy_kid | Elench well like i said, i use chrome mostly so havnt really tested konqueror with webkit much. one sec though ill see if it works.... | 16:26 |
| Elench | Oh right, i missed that comment sorry | 16:26 |
| nerdy_kid | Elench no prob..doesnt work. can hear the flash working but it doesnt display | 16:34 |
| Elench | nerdy_kid: for me it crashes whenever i try to go to iplayer or youtube | 16:35 |
| nerdy_kid | Elench oh wait that was using khtml retrying | 16:35 |
| nerdy_kid | ok now it works, but very slow. | 16:36 |
| nerdy_kid | youtube works fine.... | 16:36 |

| nerdy_kid | Elench idk personally i would give chrome a try, blazing fast here. on the other hand flash has always been buggy for me so it could be flash. | 16:38 |
| Elench | nerdy_kid: well, i just checked, and it seems that KHTML works better with flash now, so i don't need webkit for any reason any more | 16:38 |
| Elench | Thanks for all your help though, most kind :-) | 16:39 |
| nerdy_kid | Elench glad to help :) | 16:39 |
| Elench | And i am trialing chromium at the moment | 16:39 |

| Elench | Good to see you! | 16:41 |
| slinker1 | you as well didn't think to see you in the k channel how's things? | 16:41 |
| Elench | Work sucks, everything else is ok | 16:41 |

| nisha_newbie | quick question: i have ISP with dynamic ip and as i log-in i get connected to auto eth0...i want to create a new connexn with ISP name since I use several ISP's and want to identify them by name so basically I want to remove auto eth0...is it possible? | 16:42 |
| slinker1 | any dhcp connection will probably show as auto eth0 | 16:43 |
| nerdy_kid | slinker1 {shrug} personally i really dont mind..... | 16:43 |
| nisha_newbie | slinker1: i used to remove auto eth0 from ubuntu and add new connexn with ISP name...i can add it here but cant remove auto eth0 as i guess it is hidden default connexn | 16:44 |
| slinker1 | right thats what i meant | 16:45 |
| nisha_newbie | anyways it is not bigger issue and the good news is I have been trying to convince my friends n collegues to move over to Linux since about a month now and finally i managed to get 1 of them remove windows completely and use Kubuntu :) thank all guyz here for the support for that | 16:47 |

| Torch | merike: in this case that's thread 3. but there's not much there, so the backtrace will be useless, i'm afraid, no matter if you have the dbg packages or not. | 22:05 |

| Torch | Melodist: all kernels are SMP these days AFAIK | 22:26 |
| Melodist | oh | 22:26 |
| uneivi | lol | 22:26 |
| Melodist | then why does kubuntu only see one of my cores ;_; | 22:26 |
| uneivi | cores? | 22:26 |
| Melodist | CPU cores | 22:26 |
| uneivi | oh, i don't know | 22:27 |
| Torch | Melodist: does it? how do you check? | 22:27 |
| Melodist | well, for example, in the cpu monitor widget i only have one bar | 22:27 |
| uneivi | yeah does it? | 22:27 |
| Melodist | and in wine, for example l4d2, im not being allowed to enable multi cores | 22:28 |
| Torch | Melodist: pastebin the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo to be sure | 22:28 |
| Melodist | oh | 22:28 |
| Melodist | derp it says 2 cpu cores all right :s | 22:29 |
| Torch | Melodist: ;-) | 22:29 |
| Melodist | i guess i'm back to square one ;w; | 22:29 |
| Melodist | thanks anyway | 22:29 |
| uneivi | afffs | 22:29 |
| Torch | Melodist: you could probably just configure the cpu monitor widget to show the second core. | 22:29 |
| Torch | Melodist: for wine, i dunno. | 22:29 |
| Melodist | also, is it normal for my kwin desktop to be running at like 30~50 cpu percentage? | 22:30 |
| Melodist | with Kwin animation /suspended/? | 22:30 |
| Torch | Melodist: it shouldn't, no. if that happens it's either buggy gpu driver or a bug in kwin. | 22:30 |
| Melodist | hrm | 22:30 |
| Torch | Melodist: intel graphics? | 22:30 |
| Melodist | Intel Core 2 Duo, i'm running on a macbook :x | 22:30 |
| Torch | Melodist: what brand of GPU does it have? | 22:31 |
| Melodist | Graphics card? Nvidia 9400M | 22:31 |
| Torch | Melodist: hmm, nvidia is normally the most reliable you can get. | 22:31 |
| Torch | Melodist: got the binary nvidia driver? | 22:31 |
| Melodist | yup | 22:31 |
| Melodist | the latest 235 version, too :x | 22:32 |

| harolddong | Does anybody else have a problem with Amarok not showing any context menus? Running kde4.5 rc 2, qt 4.7 and amarok 2.3.1. Any menus within the program will just not show up. | 22:58 |
| harolddong | I can't even get to the setting with it like this. I've tried wiping the amarok profile and starting from scratch a couple of times but it didnt help. | 22:59 |
| Torch | harolddong: same versions here, but no problems. | 23:05 |
| harolddong | Torch: do you have a lot of podcasts added? I thought for a while that that might have something to do with it | 23:12 |
| Torch | harolddong: none, actually. | 23:12 |
| harolddong | hmmm | 23:12 |
| harolddong | yeah I'm starting to think having podcasts added is screwing up my menus | 23:13 |
| eschatron | if both of my video cards were assigned the same irq, does that explain x crashes? | 23:17 |
| kubuntu | I've been having problems with my pc and I notice it's with the kernel updates, would it be so bad to not update the kernel and leave my computer stable? | 23:27 |
| julio-PE | Kmail is very slow when i try to create a IMAP account, i search for similar problems http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=87873 this is a know problem? Someone having the same problem? tnks! | 23:28 |
| ilya-x | my KPackageKit system update process has been stuck on "Waiting for package manager lock" for the last two days, the updates won't download/install. I already rebooted several times, with no luck. This started after I shut down *during* a previous update. Is there anyway to reset this thing or force the updates to go through? | 23:29 |
| Torch | kubuntu: kernel updates are solely security updates (unless you go from one kubuntu release to the next), so it's at least problematic in theory. | 23:30 |
| kubuntu | And I'm on kubuntu hardy heron | 23:30 |
| kubuntu | Torch: may the problem also be that once the kernel updates, all the other kernels are still 'installed'? Can I uninstall previous kernel versions? | 23:32 |
| Torch | kubuntu: yes, a kernel update does not automatically remove older kernels, but no: this is not a problem. the older kernels are just a bunch of unused files in that case. | 23:32 |
| Torch | ilya-x: a stale apt lock file might be the culprit here | 23:33 |
| Torch | ilya-x: do you have a file /var/cache/apt/lock ? | 23:34 |
| kubuntu | I know theoretically the updates shouldnt be a problem but it's the conclusion I've come down to, this is the 3rd time I install linux | 23:35 |
| Torch | kubuntu: is there a reason you need to run hardy? it's really really old. | 23:35 |
| kubuntu | my computer's retarded... | 23:35 |
| mcurran | Anyone know how I can add a delay/sleep to the drawing of the desktop icons in kubuntu, so that the panels load first? I looked in my home directory .directory file, but it looks like jibberish. | 23:35 |
| kubuntu | Torch: basically it's the only version that recognizes all this pc's hardware w/no prob | 23:36 |
| ilya-x | Torch: no, I don't... only pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcashe.bin in that directory, along with an "archives" directory | 23:36 |
| kubuntu | I tried 9.10 and it wouldn't connect to internet wirelessly | 23:36 |
| Torch | ilya-x: ah, it's /var/cache/apt/archives/lock ... do you have that one? | 23:38 |
| Torch | ilya-x: hmm, sorry, my knowledge about apt is too spotty, it seems. that file does not go away once i exit apt-get.... sorry, doesn't look like i can help you with this one. | 23:39 |
| ilya-x | Torch: yes, I have that one | 23:39 |
| ilya-x | aww | 23:39 |
| Torch | ilya-x: but try apt-get upgrade on a konsole and see what it complains about | 23:40 |
| Torch | ilya-x: that should be a little clearer than packagekit | 23:40 |
| kubuntu | I know it's old but nothing's wrong with it :) can do everything the new ones can... as long as it isnt kde4 that is :-P | 23:40 |
| Torch | kubuntu: well, if that was the only problem, mabe that could be fixed asily. | 23:40 |
| Torch | kubuntu: in 10 months hardy will go out of support. what then? | 23:41 |
| Torch | kubuntu: even less. | 23:41 |
| kubuntu | I dont know... does it matter? | 23:42 |
| Torch | kubuntu: yes. | 23:42 |
| Torch | kubuntu: you need security updates. even on linux. | 23:42 |
| kubuntu | True, but that doesn't mean upgrading to each new version all the time if u find one that works for you | 23:43 |
| Torch | kubuntu: i don't want to discuss this, i'm trying to show you that your strategy won't work. | 23:44 |
| Torch | kubuntu: installing an old version that accidentally works on weird hardware out of the box and hoping there will never be the need to upgrade is not a strategy that can possibly work in the long run. | 23:44 |
| ilya-x | Torch: it told me to run "sudo dkpg --configure -a" which caused KPackageKit to crash... I'm gonna reboot, hopefully it's fixed | 23:44 |
| Torch | ilya-x: no reboot required, i think | 23:45 |
| Torch | ilya-x: this is not windows | 23:45 |
| Torch | ilya-x: does apt-get upgrade work now? | 23:45 |
| ilya-x | Torch: haha, yeah, but I just restarted KPackageKit, told it to search for updates, and it's stuck in "Waiting for other tasks" | 23:45 |
| kubuntu | ok, point taken... what would you suggest? installing 10.04 then? | 23:46 |
| Torch | ilya-x: make apt-get work on the shell first. forget about packagekit | 23:46 |
| Torch | kubuntu: install 10.04 and spend some time to research what's difficult with your hardware | 23:46 |
| ilya-x | Torch: ok, in the shell it seems like it's downloading and installing updates now | 23:46 |
| Torch | ilya-x: great, so it basically works. | 23:46 |
| ilya-x | Torch: yep,,, now it's telling me to restart (haha), so I guess I'll do that... it was a kernel update... if you don't see me again, it worked, and I thank you for your help :) | 23:47 |
| Torch | ilya-x: yw. good luck ;-) | 23:47 |
| kubuntu | Torch: ok, I'll try that then.. I can always come back here to ask as well :) | 23:48 |
| Torch | kubuntu: sure, you should. | 23:48 |
| Torch | kubuntu: if some piece of hardware does not work, this is your first stop to ask. | 23:49 |
| Torch | kubuntu: there's also ubuntu for hardware questions, as those tend to be the same problems regardless of desktop used. | 23:49 |
| kubuntu | I do research, but my pc is really quirky for some damn reason | 23:49 |
| kubuntu | Torch: thanks | 23:51 |
