[04:51] Konversing: some must have apps [04:51] Konversing: Choqok for twitter, Amarok for music, Kmess for MSN, Akregator for RSS [04:51] hmm well I have KDEmicroblog for twitter [04:51] and kopete is handling my IM stuff [04:53] KolourPaint for basic graphics, Kchmviewer for chm books , qcomicbook for comics/manga [04:53] I use gtk/java apps too [04:53] you want only kde/qt apps? [04:53] what about bittorrent? ktorrent ok? [04:54] *well* [04:54] I'm using it right now, but it kinda sucks [04:54] I like vuze/azureus, I know it's kinda heavy but it well *just* rocks [04:54] this setup is for my girlfriend who just switched from vista, and I usually use archlinux with xfce, so I have no idea about what kde apps to give her [04:55] Konversing: put smooth tasks so you get a "taskbar" like win7 [04:55] marcosroriz: what extras does that offer? [04:55] Konversing: I used to use arch but I stopped :3 [04:55] the only time I stop using arch is when I'm on my servers [04:55] and they all run centos [04:56] arch is too much vanilla for me [04:57] + the packagers don't know how to pkg [04:57] how is it too vanilla? I like having that much control over my system [04:57] and bleeding edge is nice [04:57] go with freebsd [04:58] or gentoo [04:58] arch is gentoo without the waiting for everything to compile [04:58] lol [04:58] it's not [04:58] gentoo has quality assurance [04:58] :) [04:58] Arch well they just toss pkgs there :), [04:58] for instance I reported a bug in a pkg in extra that the pkger didnt even run and it was segfaulting [04:59] lol [04:59] trust me, I've used gentoo....I've never seen a stability, performance, or control difference between the two [04:59] I've used both [04:59] and yes, gentoo is better [04:59] it has a better pkg system [04:59] and [04:59] better dvelopers [04:59] arch is cool :) [05:00] !ot [05:00] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions.

[05:06] marcosroriz: there's a difference between "todo list on the screen" (that plasmoid) and "virtual notebook full of things the teacher said in class / boss said in meeting" (basket, tomboy) [05:06] oh [05:06] Konversing: all the widgets (panel, things on the panel, things on the desktop, and even the wallpaper) are plasmoids [05:06] plasma is the thing that draws all the stuff thats not inside a standalone application window [05:08] Konversing: does she use a tablet? if so, Xournal for notes [05:09] well she has a wacom tablet [05:09] will that work in kubuntu? [05:09] yes [05:09] oh kjots she might also like for notes [05:09] maco: hmm never thought about htis [05:09] *this, [05:09] allways used the plasmoid :3 [05:10] for full noting there is?

[05:29] Konversing: either is fine. they're both featureful enough that the reason quassel's in nowadays is a lack of compelling reason to switch (the original reason for the switch was lack of qt4 version of konversation) [05:31] so any one can help me on this matter please? or point me in the right direction, since i have look around some pages in google but none of them offer any real solution to his, help please [06:01] hi luis [06:01] buy RAM [06:01] it will help [06:01] ok [06:02] but with kubuntu8.04 was just fine [06:02] never had that issues before [06:02] hehe, it only gets worse :-) [06:02] technology never takes a break [06:03] so things always break eventually [06:03] well you are right after all i've been thinking on buying a new pc === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:11] Just updated to VM 3.2 and now cannot find it in my menus.
