[00:02] <Riddell> Guest29483: only that libqtassistant has gone so you can't use apps which use that
[00:09] <Guest29483> Riddell, what are some commond examples of apps that use libqtassistant and are they show stoppers?
[00:23] <Shinka> I apparently played too much with alsamixer, and now Skype won't work (I can hear, but not speak). Is there a way to reset alsa-mixer ?
[00:23] <Shinka> I found the command sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset 0 but it doesn't work on Kubuntu

[01:14] <k4ever> hi all. i was using gnome for some time.  now i'm back to kde. i like the antinspect xscreensaver. i have kscreensaver-xsavers installed, but it does not show all of the xscreensavers (to included antinspect).  is there a way to get kscreensaver to recognized this screensaver?
[01:28] <cmagina> k4ever: I might have an answer for you in just a second
[01:28] <k4ever> ok
[01:32] <cmagina> k4ever: The antinspect screensaver is part of the kscreensaver-xsavers-extra package, however even after installing it I am not able to see any of those new screensavers. I'm very familiar with the kscreensaver bits, but I will see what I can do.
[01:32] <cmagina> I'm not very...
[01:33] <cmagina> familiar that is
[01:33] <k4ever> ok, i appreciate your help
[01:34] <cmagina> brb
[01:50] <k4ever> also is there a way to show video thumbnails in dolphin?
[01:51] <cmagina> install kffmpegthumbnailer
[01:51] <cmagina> And then be sure to enable it in dolphins settings
[01:52] <cmagina> There must be a list stored somewhere containing all of the available screensavers, but I have been unable to find it thus far.
[01:53] <k4ever> thanks, installing now
[01:56] <k4ever> cmagina:  thanks! the plugin works great
[01:57] <cmagina> k4ever: Good to hear it.  You might want to submit a bug on the screensaver issue.  It seems the kscreensaver-xsavers-extra package pulls in the other screensavers but does not get KDE to see them.
[01:57] <wea0> Hi, I just upgraded from karmic to lucid. Now there is an animated effect in the panel's task manager, whenever applications change their places. How can I turn this animation off?
[01:57] <k4ever> ok, thanks for your help.  i'm going to sleep now.
[01:58] <cmagina> wea0: I am not sure. A quick look didn't show anything obvious. I wish I had time to help more but I must take off.

[04:50] <ilya-x> can somebody help me troubleshoot why I'm frequently seeing the outline and shadow of what seems like the "Folder View" widget on top of my desktop wallpaper, when the widget is disabled and  there's no trace of this widget at all other than its shadow outline? this is visible 90% of the time, even after reboots
[04:51] <ilya-x> I'm on KDE 4.5.0, by the way
[04:54] <ilya-x> I just took a screenshot of it with wallpaper removed and background set to white:

[06:38] <orochimaru> hi
[07:37] <Roasted> does anybody know how I can move the min max close buttons tot he left?
[07:40] <buckfast> Hello
[07:40] <Roasted> hi
[07:41] <buckfast> Why do I have 142 blocked updates?
[07:42] <smooph> what are you trying to update and how?
[07:43] <buckfast> KpackageKit is showing under Software Updates that I have 142 blocked updates
[07:43] <buckfast> It seems like it's blocking the new KDE 4.5
[07:44] <buckfast> because most of them are kde applications
[07:49] <buckfast> so, noone hasn't got a clue as to why this is happening
[07:57] <buckfast> Should I do a
[07:57] <buckfast> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:18] <buckfast> ok, no answer I guess
[09:25] <DarkriftX> does anyone know why the kde update manager always seems to close itself and stop working? its done for this for the last 3-4 major versions for me (few years now) and i always have to resort to apt-get updating instead of it doing it auto.
[09:33] <well_laid_lawn> DarkriftX: tried starting it from konsole to see what errors are produced?
[09:33] <DarkriftX> no but its always after a few days-weeks when it dies
[09:33] <DarkriftX> i was hoping maybe there was a known issue with a fix
[09:34] <well_laid_lawn> not something I've seen mentioned here before...
[09:49] <wesp> Just did a fresh install of Kubuntu, no flash audio, no skype audio (assuming no audio period) except for the log in/log out audio, those work
[09:50] <wesp> The initial install, skype audio & mic worked fine, after installing nvidia drivers and rebooting, is where the problem occured
[09:57] <rork> wesp: did you check kmix and set all the volumes up?
[09:58] <wesp> lol i can hear now
[09:58] <wesp> what about
[09:59] <wesp> mic, I cant get mic on the volume bar
[09:59] <wesp> lol and i feel pretty bad @ turn it up
[09:59] <rork> np at that, we've all been there :)
[10:00] <wesp> What about turning the mic up? well
[10:00] <wesp> unmuting it?
[10:00] <wesp> that option i cant make active in kmix
[10:00] <well_laid_lawn> F4 in alsamixer
[10:00] <well_laid_lawn> for capture cards
[10:01] <wesp> wheres alsamixer?
[10:01] <rork> or Settings > Configure Channels, then add the microphone channels to kmix
[10:03] <well_laid_lawn> !info alsamixer
[10:03] <well_laid_lawn> !find alsamixer
[10:03] <well_laid_lawn> or open konsole and type   alsamixer
[10:05] <rork> alsamixer is part of alsa-utils
[10:06] <well_laid_lawn> thnx :]
[10:25] <bigjools> hi.  Does anyone know how to stop kmail scrolling to the top of the message list every time I delete one of them?  I have my list sorted ascending so this is seriously annoying :(
[10:25] <bigjools> (this is 4.5 BTW)
[10:31] <sushilcha> does anyone have idea about ssh... that if a GUI application be run on remote computer over ssh ?
[10:32] <well_laid_lawn> you can use vnc over ssh - it's in the man page and
[10:32] <well_laid_lawn> !vnc
[10:34] <sushilcha> well_laid_lawn: btw, what i actually wanted to do was.. run ktorrent whenever i want on remote computer and shutdown my own computer
[10:34] <well_laid_lawn> why not use a cli torrent client like rtorrent?
[10:34] <well_laid_lawn> !info rtorrent
[10:34] <sushilcha> i know ktorrent can be controlled by web
[10:35] <well_laid_lawn> k
[10:35] <sushilcha> well_laid_lawn: but to control it via web, at first it shud be running :)
[10:36] <sushilcha> rtorrent probably doesn't have all the features like ktorrent... however let me explore about it.. thanx for suggestion
[10:37] <rork> sushilcha: you can start gui applications from the commandline by just typing their name, you may have to have some X-server running though
[10:37] <rork> and many kde programs can/could be controlled from the commandline with dcop
[10:37] <sushilcha> rork: with simple ssh it wudnt run
[10:38] <sushilcha> rork: ktorrent requires Xserver.. and of course Xserver is running in remote computer
[10:39] <sushilcha> but if i do ssh -X .. then Xserver from mycomputer is gonna be used.. in that case.. if i shutdown my computer the application is gonna exit as well
[10:39] <well_laid_lawn> try x11vnc - it can use the root desktop
[10:40] <well_laid_lawn> I think rtorrent with a web gui would be what you're after
[10:40] <sushilcha> yes that is a solution for what i seek
[10:41] <sushilcha> but lets look beyond torrent...
[10:41] <sushilcha> just if we can launch any application requiring Xserver in remote computer itself :)
[10:43] <well_laid_lawn> try x11vnc - it can use the root desktop
[10:44] <sushilcha> well_laid_lawn: ok.. but what if i shutdown my computer? will the program continue to run.. anyway i'll try to explore that myself too :)
[10:45] <well_laid_lawn> since it uses the root desktop it doesn't matter what any other comps do when you reconnect it will show the same root desktop
[11:18] <funcrush> hi all. I wanna convert from ogg to mp3. anybody know a program working well?

[13:51] <samuel_> Hi
[13:52] <natman> hi samuel_
[13:52] <samuel_> My KDE was just updated to 4.5.0 and I don't have Oxygen Style. does anyone know how to solve this ?
[13:52] <samuel_> hi natman
[13:52] <samuel_> :)
[13:52] <natman> you using kubunt samuel_
[13:52] <samuel_> no I'm using Kubuntu :)
[13:52] <samuel_> 10.4
[13:53] <natman> my mistake ment kubuntu sorry
[13:53] <samuel_> then yeah natman :)
[13:54] <natman> try system settings->appearence->color->get new schemes
[13:55] <samuel_> natman: but this will add my a color scheme ... ?
[13:56] <samuel_> yap ... :(
[13:56] <natman> samuel_:  do you have the oxygen scheme?
[13:56] <wea0> When tasks change their places in the task manager there is an animation of the tasks sliding over each other. Please tell me how to turn this effect off. (lucid KDE 4.5.0)
[13:57] <samuel_> yeah I have
[13:57] <samuel_> but I don't have the Oxygen Style :( natman
[13:58] <natman> samuel_: mmm seems weird, not sure what command to use, but could sudo apt-get install oxygen or KpackageKit help get back oxygen?
[14:00] <samuel_> E: Couldn't find package KpackageKit
[14:00] <samuel_> E: Couldn't find package oxygen
[14:00] <samuel_> :(
[14:00] <natman> you dont have kpackagekit
[14:00] <natman> ?
[14:01] <Pici> package names are case-sensitive and all lowercase.
[14:02] <samuel_> oaky I have the kpackagekit
[14:02] <natman> phew
[14:03] <natman> try this command in terminal
[14:03] <samuel_> but I can't find the oxygen package
[14:03] <natman> amm ok
[14:03] <natman> when i go to termainl ( eg " konsole" ) and search i get the following
[14:03] <natman> natman@natman-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install oxygen
[14:03] <natman> oxygencursors               oxygen-cursor-theme         oxygen-cursor-theme-extra   oxygen-icon-theme           oxygen-icon-theme-complete
[14:04] <natman> the names under are all the availble packages
[14:04] <natman> if i was you i would just get them all and see what happens, it cant hurt- i think
[14:04] <samuel_> okay let's try :)
[14:05] <samuel_> E: Package oxygencursors has no installation candidate
[14:05] <samuel_> :(
[14:05] <samuel_> thank natman
[14:05] <natman> samuel_: my mistake
[14:05] <wea0> samuel_: Do you have the package kubuntu-desktop installed?
[14:06] <natman> try this
[14:06] <natman> sudo apt-get install oxygen-cursor-theme oxygen-cursor-theme-extra oxygen-icon-theme oxygen-icon-theme-complete
[14:06] <samuel_> wea0:  how do i check ?
[14:07] <natman> samuel_:  if you have Kubuntu you have the desktop im sure unless you have done a lot of messing around
[14:07] <wea0> samuel_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[14:07] <wea0> If you upgraded to kde4.5 it might have been removed
[14:08] <samuel_> :| it seams that  I have missing packges on the kubbuntu-desktop ....
[14:09] <natman> samuel_: ok seems like the wea0 was correct
[14:09] <samuel_> thanks wea0 and natman, let;s check if it will fix the problem
[14:09] <natman> good luck samuel_
[14:10] <samuel_> okay, it didn't ... :(
[14:10] <samuel_> Grrr....
[14:11] <samuel_> I will try to restart my X
[14:14] <samuel_> didn't help
[14:15] <wea0> Oh well, ... solved most of the problems I had after the update ;)
[14:15] <natman> samuel_: afraid this problem is above me then:(
[14:15] <samuel_> how can I find other styles on Software Manager ?
[14:20] <wea0> samuel_: What you could try is "sudo apt-get --reinstall install kdebase-runtime"
[14:21] <samuel_> wea0:  lets try :)
[14:22] <samuel_> for now my KDE look like hell
[14:26] <wea0> Umh, ... before or after you ran that command?
[14:29] <alvin> Try $ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop && sudo aptitude install
[14:30] <samuel_> wea0: befor, the reinstall for kdebase didn't help, but I found this package on the apt-get
[14:30] <samuel_> kdeartwork
[14:31] <samuel_> I'm trying to install it, and I will see if it helped :)
[14:34] <wea0> That will probably give you more styles like phase, but not oxygen.
[14:39] <samuel_> wea0: didn't give any styles :(
[14:40] <samuel_> but know I see that I have updates that are kept back
[14:40] <samuel_> how do I force install them ?
[14:40] <wea0> urgh
[14:40] <wea0> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:41] <samuel_> :S
[14:41] <samuel_> but I allready use the latest Kubuntu 10.4
[14:41] <samuel_> ...
[14:41] <samuel_> that is so odd !
[14:44] <wea0> No it's not. dist-upgrade doesn't mean you are updated to a new distribution.
[14:44] <wea0> "dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new ver-sions of packages"
[14:47] <wea0> I gotta go afk now. But if you want this to work you need to make sure that you have the latest versions of kubuntu-desktop, kdebase-runtime and kdebase-runtime-data installed.
[14:48] <Xearo> Question, How do I enable my ATI drivers in Kubuntu. I do not see the Enable Restricted Drivers in the System Panel
[14:48] <alvin> samuel_: if 'aptitude install' lists things as [not installed], it's generally a good idea to remove them. (e.g. $ sudo aptitude purge freespacenotifier)
[14:49] <samuel_> wea0: it worked :)
[14:49] <samuel_> alvin: thanks, I will keep it in mind :)

[15:16] <jimmy51_> on boot my wife's kubuntu box complained about a volume in fstab could not be mounted and dropped me to a maintenance shell.  how can i figure out which device it is complaining about?  there are 3 drives connected to her system.
[15:21] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[15:39] <alvin> jimmy51_: See if you can find the volume in /var/log/boot.log (there might be a LOT of false errors in there too)
[15:39] <tdnicho> good morning all, have a question about dvd blu-ray support in ubuntu/kubuntu...anyone care to comment?
[15:40] <jimmy51_> alvin: i've found it's the drive that is her /home.  i'm running fsck /dev/sdb5 right now.
[15:41] <alvin> jimmy51_: You shouldn't be dropped in a maintenance shell for that. fsck should run automatically.
[15:51] <jimmy51_> alvin: fsck /dev/sdb5 is asking my to hit (y) about every 2 minutes.  Error reading block 12384839whatever.  ignore? (y)  rewrite (y).  should i cancel and rerun with some switch to automatically do it?
[15:57] <tdnicho> good morning all, have a question about dvd blu-ray support in ubuntu/kubuntu...anyone care to comment?
[15:57] <Pici> About which?
[16:00] <alvin> jimmy51_: Probably. Start your system (maybe in recovery mode), let /home not be mounted and fsck
[16:21] <tdnicho> anyone had success with ubuntu and dvd blu-ray support/playback?
[16:36] <jdalt_> so I've got this usb bluetooth dongle i want to use with a wiimote but its from like 2004 and apparently requires a kernel recompilation to get the drivers to work
[16:36] <jdalt_> according to this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1087010c
[16:37] <jdalt_> is it worth it or should i just get a new dongle?
[16:39] <administrator_> hello
[17:22] <wea0> samuel_: Nice to hear that it solved your problem.
[17:23] <wea0> I'm still stuck with my own problem however. Anybody got an idea on that:
[17:23] <wea0> When tasks change their places in the task manager there is an animation of the tasks sliding over each other. Please tell me how to turn this effect off. (lucid KDE 4.5.0)

[17:54] <jrolland-kubuntu> My x11vnc keeps spawning processes out of control, until I run into the max number of clients for the X Server
[17:54] <jrolland-kubuntu> I'm following the instructions on http://kubuntuguide.org/Lucid#X11VNC_Server
[17:54] <jrolland-kubuntu> I think it's the -loopbg that's the problem
[17:54] <jrolland-kubuntu> It worked fine in karmic
[17:54] <jrolland-kubuntu> Can someone help?
[17:56] <ilembitov> Hi, all. I have a freshly installed Kubuntu 10.04 with all the latest updates. I have all types of updates enabled and I have the backports PPA added. Still, I can't update to KDE 4.5 - some 130 packages seem to get blocked. What do I do wrong?
[17:56] <wea0> do a dist-upgrade
[18:08] <jrolland-kubuntu> OK, I figured it out: I need the -loop option, not -loopbg
[18:19] <haakonn_> hi! i installed the netbook version, but i decided i'd rather have the regular kde interface. is there a way to get it without reinstalling?
[18:20] <haakonn_> i installed the kubuntu-desktop package, removed kubuntu-netbook or whatever, but now when i log in i see the splash and then just the background image and nothing more
[18:22] <alvin> ilembitov: See bug 615902
[18:25] <bng007> hi all, where would you point me if I wanted to learn some .sh scripting?
[18:29] <shadowhywind_> hay all, I just a replacement hdd in the mail, I am going to use dd to copy everything from my old hdd to the new one. Will dd also copy the mbr/grub ? also what should be the dd command I should issue?
[18:34] <ilembitov> alvin: thx
[18:36] <bng007> shadowhywind_: i think it is something like this: dd if="your_image" of="/dev/disk_to_write_to"
[18:37] <bng007> which means "input file" and "output file"
[18:38] <bng007> first of all look here: dd --help
[18:38] <shadowhywind_> k
[18:44] <wizardslovak> hello people
[18:45] <rork> hi
[18:45] <wizardslovak> got kubuntu dual booted with xp
[18:45] <wizardslovak> is there gui to modify grub2?
[18:46] <mistrynitesh> bng007: i think all standard installations come with bash reference guide. mine is located at /usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf
[18:47] <rork> wizardslovak: startupmanager should do that job
[18:47] <haakonn_> answer to my own question: remove kubuntu-netbook-default-settings
[18:48] <mistrynitesh> bng007: there is also some documentation at tldp.org
[18:48] <kilian_> hi, i try to start update-notifier-kde, but it says dbus-bindings are missing. python-qt4-dbus is up to date, though
[18:48] <kilian_> any ideas how to fix this?
[18:49] <bng007> mistrynitesh: is Bash the right thing to use when I want to do simple file operations etc.?
[18:49] <wizardslovak> whats the package name?
[18:51] <rork> wizardslovak: startupmanager
[18:52] <rork> but it might be only possible to do lay-out changes
[18:52] <wizardslovak> oh sorry misstyped it
[18:52] <mistrynitesh> bng007: why not? i mean i don't know of any problems. bash is just another shell
[18:53] <bng007> mistrynitesh: cool, just making sure
[18:53] <bng007> mistrynitesh: i will check out that link, thx
[18:53] <mistrynitesh> bng007: always welcome
[18:55] <slow-motion> hi
[19:02] <Roasted> When is Kubuntu getting pulse audio or the software center?
[19:02] <maco> 10.10 has pulse
[19:02] <maco> the software center is gtk though so it wont be included unless someone makes a qt lookalike
[19:02] <maco> i find it more likely that kpackagekit just gets fixed up
[19:03] <Roasted> itd be nice to have that. kpackagekit... sucks.
[19:04] <bng007> I like how software center list your ppa and other sources on the left
[19:05] <Roasted> yeah
[19:05] <Roasted> I dig kde, but MAN there are some things that just 'make sense' in gnome too.
[19:05] <Roasted> well, maybe not so much gnome, but ubuntu.
[19:05] <Roasted> kde is fun to tinker around with though.
[19:06] <bng007> i agree, the software center in ubuntu is just two clicks away for example
[19:07] <bng007> i used ubuntu for a test-drive for few months recently, I just envy Canonical is investing in gnome instead of kde :)
[19:09] <bng007> i'm back in kde, the window compositing is much better for example
[19:11] <bng007> one can feel and see there is some designer guidance behind the ubuntu. I just wish KDE was more consistent as well
[19:20] <Peace-> bng007: bah
[19:24] <ohzie> Hey, can I get workspaces on the top and bottom 'caps' of the cube when I use compiz? I'm using kubuntu on mostly vanilla Lucid Lynx install.
[19:25] <well_laid_lawn> !compiz
[19:25] <well_laid_lawn> ohzie: there's #compiz where someone would surely know that :]
[19:27] <ohzie> well_laid_lawn, Just to verify, KDE's compositing is compiz right?
[19:28] <well_laid_lawn> ohzie: I'm not sure - I've never bothered with it here
[19:28] <well_laid_lawn> I think it is just kwin...
[19:29] <Roasted> bng007, part of the reason Im using kde for a while is because gnome is the one seeming to be inconsistent for me. Not that it's bad, but sometimes it just acts weird, which is strange since gnome was always the more stable one for me in the past.
[19:33] <Scunizi> Is upgrading to 4.5 recommended or not recommended on a production machine?
[19:34] <bng007> Scunizi: no way
[19:34] <bng007> Scunizi: eg. my dolphin crashes too often
[19:34] <bng007> Scunizi: but maybe I'm just hard on it
[19:35] <Scunizi> bng007: that's what I was thinking but glad to have the conformation.. with 10.04 being an LTS (I think on Kubuntu) will it be available as backports or a straight upgrade when it settles down?
[19:35] <bng007> Scunizi: not sure how this works
[19:36] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: it is available on backports now
[19:36] <Scunizi> bng007: PPA currently I think.. reviews are good .. but.. like you say buggy is not what I want
[19:36] <Scunizi> 52AAB20YH: thanks.. if you're running 4.5 how's your experience?
[19:37] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: it runs fine on my test bed
[19:37] <Scunizi> 52AAB20YH: was it a 10.04 install with the upgrade on top?
[19:37] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: had it up several weeks now
[19:37] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: yes
[19:38] <Scunizi> 52AAB20YH: thanks
[19:38] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: one crash, but am pretty sure that was an x screen saver
[19:38] <bng007> Scunizi: I have dolphin crashing and the a small window with X icon that I cannot close else it crashes my plasma. no other problems
[19:39] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: transitition was smooth
[19:39] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: only one update problem that was easily sorted out with aptitude
[19:39] <Scunizi> what was that?
[19:39] <Surunveri> hi
[19:40] <Surunveri> when using dolphin and changing the view settings
[19:40] <Surunveri> how can i save the setting so i dont have to change the again every time
[19:40] <Surunveri> ?
[19:40] <bng007> Scunizi: the new notification plasmoid is not really polished, but it works - still not very user friendly
[19:41] <52AAB20YH> Scunzi: a missing package dependency that synaptic choked on, but aptitude fixed perfectly
[19:42] <bng007> Surunveri: the last entry under the "view" button
[19:42] <Surunveri> yeah
[19:42] <Surunveri> but how can i save the changes?
[19:46] <bng007> Surunveri: change the settings and then tick the box by the last entry: "use these view properties as default" does it not work?
[19:54] <Surunveri> it didnt
[19:54] <Surunveri> at first
[19:54] <Surunveri> but then i tried starting dolphin from terminal with sudo
[19:54] <Surunveri> and so far it has worked
[19:54] <Surunveri> i mean with root priviledges.. whatever the correct phrasing is:D
[19:55] <ironbeard> Hey guys. I'm trying to create a user on my kubuntu machine with a custom resolution, for vnc. My vnc client is my android phone, so I'd like to have a specific user on my server with a comparable resolution for ease of use on my phone. Any ideas?
[20:12] <terran4000> Hey. Is there a way to change an icon of a single link/shortcut?
[20:12] <v3nd3tta``> you mean a desktop shortcut?
[20:13] <terran4000> yup
[20:13] <v3nd3tta``> right click and then properties
[20:13] <v3nd3tta``> or mark it and then alt+enter :P
[20:14] <v3nd3tta``> and then there click on the symbol left
[20:14] <v3nd3tta``> you can use your own files
[20:14] <terran4000> That would work, but this isn't a .desktop file
[20:14] <v3nd3tta``> what then?
[20:15] <terran4000> Dunno ... I clicked that dragged a executable to the desktop folder widget, selected make shortcut here.
[20:15] <v3nd3tta``> does it have the executable symbol?
[20:15] <terran4000> er
[20:15] <terran4000> "Link here"
[20:15] <terran4000> yes it does.
[20:16] <v3nd3tta``> then there left should be a box where you should select your icon
[20:16] <terran4000> There doesn't happen to be a "make a actual shortcut" button is there which will make a handy dandy .desktop file?
[20:16] <v3nd3tta``> uhm
[20:17] <terran4000> The icon is there but it's not selectable/clickable.
[20:17] <v3nd3tta``> right click -> new -> link to <executable>
[20:17] <v3nd3tta``> or what do you mean?
[20:18] <v3nd3tta``> that would produce a .desktop file
[20:18] <terran4000> ok, I'll try the click->new->link to ... method.
[20:19] <v3nd3tta``> i think it's the best one :)
[20:19] <v3nd3tta``> yeah, i dradded "my" test executable to the desktop... you cannot modify it...
[20:20] <terran4000> yeah ...
[20:20] <terran4000> that really blows
[20:20] <v3nd3tta``> right click is your friend :)
[20:20] <Surunveri> hmm it still didnt work
[20:20] <terran4000> you're method works though. Thanks
[20:20] <Surunveri>  as soon as i restarted dolphin the setting went back to default
[20:20] <Surunveri> =|
[20:20] <terran4000> thanks v3nd3tta``
[20:20] <Surunveri> or rather, when i restarted dolphin without root priviledges
[20:20] <v3nd3tta``> no problem terran4000
[20:20] <v3nd3tta``> :)
[20:21] <v3nd3tta``> what did it say? can you start it with console and log the output to anyone who does know more? (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com)
[20:32] <teddiebaer> hello all
[20:34] <troopperi> My kubuntu freeze when i log out, its giving only " - " to screen...might it be login manager?
[21:24] <ThomasB2k> Hi, is there any way to remove mnemonics from menubars in KDE?
[21:24] <ThomasB2k> I want to get ride of the little underlines on the letters in the menubars.
[21:33] <djustice> ThomasB2k: there is indeed a way. but i have no memory of it. ;)
[21:34] <ThomasB2k> :(
[21:42] <otto__> can i debug konqueror plugins with kdevelop?

[22:10] <HERPADERP> DERPADERPDERP
[22:11] <tuxifier> bless you
[22:17] <zus> hello guyses
[22:18] <zus> any one having issues with KDE4.5 like bouncing desktops when using the scroll wheel to switch?
[22:18] <melissawm> hi! i have a fresh install of kubuntu 10.04 on a desktop, wired network is not working. i've removed network-manager and not even manual config via /etc/network/interfaces work. i'm on dhcp and i'm typing this from a laptop that works perfectly with the same cable.
[22:19] <HERPADERP> what model is your laptop
[22:20] <zus> melissawm,  i just now had to delete the belkin router i get a wifi signal from the list in edit connections and reconnect and click connect automatically for me to get it to work- where as when i switch to my gnome session i have no problems
[22:22] <melissawm> for me it's a wired connection, not wireless, and desktop, not laptop
[22:23] <zus> yeah i dont have a laptop, but i got a wireles usb i found and i tried it and it works, dunno who's signal but thank you whoever it is :)
[22:24] <zus> melissawm,  try with the live disc if you can get on line with the live disc. i didnt get the network manager for kubuntu the first time i tried it
[22:25] <zus> i was going to switch back to kubuntu but im trying this KDE4.5 and im having a couple  problems still.  (i might though by end of the day)
[22:32] <HERPADERP> Just out of curiosty, Does anyone have a laptop with linux running for gaming?
[22:33] <poseidon2010> Well I like Kubuntu...... the interface is damn  faster than Gnome
[22:34] <HERPADERP> Whenever i use ubuntu, its a bit faster than kubuntu. Probably due to less eye candy
[22:34] <tuxifier> poseidon2010: faster? I can't sign that - but kde is much more flexible
[22:35] <tuxifier> and prettier :P
[22:35] <tuxifier> and has no congo bong sound :P
[22:35] <tuxifier> anyone using qlandkarte gt on kde 4.5?
[22:35] <poseidon2010> well... I have several VM here..... and with Gnome (Ubunutu) they were not roperly running..CPU was dying.... Memory was always loaded....
[22:36] <poseidon2010> But with KDE..... the CPU is fairly used and the memory as well
[22:36] <poseidon2010> KDE(Kubuntu)
[22:37] <tuxifier> poseidon2010: which virtualization tool do you use?
[22:37] <poseidon2010> VirtualBox
[22:38] <poseidon2010> and now I am playing with Eucalyptus...... havent finished yet though with that
[22:38] <poseidon2010> also another problem I found.... and I think is not related to GNOME or KDE... is the  flahs-plugin
[22:38] <poseidon2010> its crappy... and it kind of kills ur cpu....
[22:38] <tuxifier> poseidon2010: 64bit?
[22:39] <poseidon2010> yes 64 bit
[22:39] <tuxifier> yeah this is caused by the npviewer 64 to 32 bit flash wrapper
[22:39] <tuxifier> cause there is no native flash for 64 bit yet
[22:40] <tuxifier> thanks to adobe
[22:40] <poseidon2010> sadly to say.... I have a VM with Windows.... to see Youtube Videos.... otherwise my machine will just dye.... Have in mind I have other VM running
[22:41] <poseidon2010> yeahhhh I read something about that... not a native  64bit flash plugin
[22:42] <Xearo> Question, how to I upgrade to KDE 4.5?

[22:59] <Xearo> Yeah I just googled it and put alot of stuff togeather and just added what the link said then done the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade looks like it is doing everything right.
[22:59] <Xearo> Guess we will see
[23:08] <zus> Xearo,  im using KXStudios so it removed alot of things and i had to reinstall however it was written it would so i wasnt  surprised so far
[23:09] <Xearo> zus: Cool,brb going to restart and see if this worked.
[23:09] <zus> Xearo,  the switching desktops with the scroll wheel isnt working, it bounces between the two dsktp, till i hit the switcher  in the  panel
