[00:14] skierpage: since upgrading to maverick this afternoon, i have been playing music, and am noticing that i am experiencing some audio issues that i did not have before the upgrade. [00:15] skierpage: it does not happen often, but while playing music in amarok, the audio stalls/stops briefly every once in a while... maybe once every two tracks or so [00:16] skierpage: this may be a pulse issue.... or may more likely have to do with something the kubuntu team did wrong intheir implementation.... don't know [00:16] jmichaelx , sorry to hear it. I've always had horrible screeching from my Audigy ZS card in Kubuntu whenever there's ethernet traffic (which is why I need to switch to the dumb on-board audio), maybe it's worse in Maverick. [00:17] jmichaelx you could mention it in https://wiki.kubuntu.org/MaverickMeerkat/RC/Kubuntu/Feedback , but it's so close to release it may not matter. [00:18] skierpage: i am just using an on-board intel ich9 hd audio controller... [00:19] jmichaelx, before filing a bug it would be useful to figure out if the stalls are related to high CPU, I/O, bus traffic, network... [00:19] skierpage: there can be and are problems in any distro, it's just that i think in the kubuntu world we are just often blessed with more than our share [00:19] (I'm deep in PulseAudio just trying to get it to give my two sound outputs different names 8-/ ) [00:20] skierpage: quad-core cpu is idling.... there is virtually nothing going on network-wise right ow beyond IRC-related traffic, and thunderbird checking email off and on [00:21] i liked having the option to use or not use pulsaudio, to be honest [00:24] i notice that in maverick, 'asunder' still seg faults just like it did in lucid [00:26] man do all of the 20 different pulseaudio-related config GUIs give me a headache. what a chaotic ball of %&*% [00:27] you can always "sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio", reboot, and live life as it has been since before pulseaudio [00:29] JontheEchidna: only problem is that i also have gnome on this machine (do not use it much), and if pulseaudio is removed, there is a fair bit of breakage [00:29] JontheEchidna: glad to know that is an optionin kubuntu, however [00:42] when using apt-get how can i install only KDE dependencies and skip gnome [00:52] can any1 plz explain ppa for me? [00:57] can i run cairo dock without gnome support on KDE? === Drachenblut is now known as Lord_drachenblut [01:07] vee: if you try and install from one of the package managers, it will bring in the necessary dependancies [01:08] vee: if it needs gnome support it will get it [01:09] vee: same for apt-get [01:10] vee: why are you not wanting gnome support? [01:11] vee: I have kde support in ubuntu 10.10 and gnome support in kubuntu 10.10 === root is now known as Guest564 [01:41] when I type in 'ssh servername' into krunner, I'm given a prompt asking for my ssh key passphrase. i enter it and then the window closes and nothing happens. what am I doing wrong? [01:42] I'm running maverick at the moment, but this occurs on lucid as well [01:55] how do i add a new 3.5mm jack if kmix does not find it [02:01] chuckf: you should run that in a terminal instead of krunner, methinks [02:14] jmichaelx: I typcially do, but I figured I'd see what happened and it fails [02:14] it should do something if it takes the password [02:15] chuckf: i am not sureit is failing, but when it goes through, it's job is finished. where are you expecting to see anything else? [02:16] jmichaelx: when I type in 'ssh server' then am asked for the password, I expect to see a terminal open to the server I'm trying ot connect ot [02:16] I don't find that unreasonable [02:18] chuckf: you might like it to work that way, and maybe you configure a terminal to pop up when you do that, but i would not have expected anything graphical to pop up if i did that [02:18] I wouldn't either - try something like xterm -e ssh server [02:19] chuckf: openssh does not have any built-in association with anything graphical, to my knowledge [02:20] jmichaelx: I understand that. However if krunner is associating the ssh command to a graphical password enter field, it should automaticlly open a terminal window to complete the task [02:21] chuckf: i just don't think krunner is intended to do that... [02:23] chuckf: it's not that it would not be an OK feature, but krunner is just supposed to run simple terminal commands, etc. i think each time you ssh into something, it is working.... you're just unable to see it [02:25] no, there are no new connections on the server (i've checked). It just takes the password and dies [02:25] chuckf: ok, that part i would not necessarily have expected [02:27] what is another nice gui irc program like xchat please? [02:28] olskolirc: i like konversation. quassel is the current default IRC client in kubuntu [02:28] olskolirc: some folk like weechat [02:28] chuckf: what do you do to check for new connections on the server you are trying to log into? [02:29] olskolirc: also, pidgin can also be used as an IRC client [02:31] jmichaelx: I'm checking the login attempts [02:31] in the logs [02:34] I installed the 10.10 release candidate, and I've noticed that Xorg seems to have a memory leak i.e. the memory it uses gradually increases over time. Anyone else notice this, or is it nothing to worry about? [02:34] it was up to 1.4GB until I rebooted [02:36] chuckf: there is a PC in the next room, and if i ssh into it, the HD clicks a little.... even if i 'ssh hostname' in krunner, it makes that click... [02:36] chuckf: not that this is conclusive, lol [02:36] testing [02:37] olskolirc: [02:38] after I installed kde tilda has started in ~/Documents [02:38] any ideas for how to fix that? [02:38] hmm [02:39] wow thanks jimichaelx moetunes ill check them all out im on pidgin now and it sux but hey, we can cam each other on this right? if you see me in the room twice don't get mad im testing. [02:39] k [02:39] could anyone tell me a sure-fire way to change the freaking text color in the menu bar in FF? since upgrading to maverick earlier today, the text color is black... and invisible/unreadable with most personas [02:43] jmichaelx: it "should" respond to your gtk theme - check in #ubuntu+1 to see if anyone else has this issue [02:44] moetunes: i have tried there, and no one has a clue.... plus it seems not many are kubuntu users. also, this problem did not exist in lucid [02:44] moetunes: additionally, it does not seem to respond to gtk theme at all [02:46] jmichaelx: all I can suggest is to try another gtk theme - I don't know if the ppl in #mozilla would have a clue as to how it works in a qt environment [02:46] moetunes: i have changed to numerous gtk themes, and none has seemed to have any influence [02:47] jmichaelx: you have closed the browser after the gtk theme change? [02:47] .wc [02:48] moetunes: yes, restarted every time [02:48] k [02:49] moetunes: i have a laptop running fedora 13 and KDE.... same problem there. it's just that i didn't have this problem in kubuntu until in lucid [02:51] moetunes: correction... didn't have this problem in kubuntu IN lucid... not until i upgraded to maverick [02:51] jmichaelx: you could try renaming the .mozilla folder with ff closed and then reopening it [02:52] moetunes: i assume i would also lose bookmarks, etc. that way, huh [02:52] jmichaelx: I can't beleive ff would retain any gtk settings tho - but it is worth a shot if nothing else works [02:52] i guess if it works, i could import that stuff back [02:52] jmichaelx: yep - but you could copy them over if it works [02:52] I am trying to connect to a remote desktop like this link has: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435968&goto=nextoldest How do i get the ip and port number in kde? [02:53] moetunes: just tried it. does not fix anything. [02:54] bummer [02:55] krookeye: it uses localhost which is the 127.0.0.1 bit and 5900 or 5901 is generally the port number [02:56] moetunes: and i think i screwed up majorly. i mv'ed .mozilla to .mozilla-old. when things didn't worrk, i just mv'ed .mozilla-old to .mozilla.... i have lost all my settings now [02:56] this sucks so severely [02:57] jmichaelx: if ff was closed when you did the move that shouldn't have happened... [02:57] might be time to file a bug [02:57] moetunes: it was closed and it did happen [02:57] yep :[ [02:57] kubuntu has done something screw with ff [02:58] god i hate computers [02:59] that is just pure BS... why the hell would that happen with FF closed [03:01] i could have deleted the new .mozilla first to be extra careful, but that should not have been needed [03:02] goddamnit [03:02] * jmichaelx apologizes for outburst [03:03] i could spit fire right now..... my freaking bookmarks are gone [03:04] andi still have this unchangeable back text for the menu bar, lol [03:04] black8 [03:04] t++++++++ [03:04] ` [03:06] oh well.... lesson learned. things like that shoud be backed up [03:10] someone say my name please? and is my font white? [03:12] olskolirc [03:13] oh wow [03:13] disaster on quassel [03:13] olskolirc: nope, text color will appear according to the settings of the client user [03:13] olskolirc: i have always liked konversation. [03:14] yes thats where im going next jimmy51_ [03:14] oops i meant jmichaelx [03:16] my name again please if i don't like it im leaving [03:16] olskolirc: [03:16] niceeeee [03:16] thanks moetunes im still leaving lol [03:17] heh [03:19] moetunes: have you upgraded to maverick? [03:20] jmichaelx: nope - I won't do for a while [03:20] moetunes: gotcha.... the whole upgrade went smoothly enough for me, with the exception of what you just witnessed, lol [03:20] brb [03:21] jmichaelx: I like the whole lts concept for my home comp [03:26] is this where i can get help? [03:26] drussi: sure :] [03:26] ok [03:27] well i updated kubuntu with kpackagekit and i think i got an extra kernel [03:27] when i start up my computer, the boot loader (grub?) shows an extra option it did not have before [03:27] you might have - you can look in /boot to check [03:28] when i try that extra option, it does not load KDE [03:28] why would i have an extra kernel that does not load kde? [03:28] i can log on the new kernel [03:28] is it just a command prompt [03:28] but i am left at the prompt [03:28] yes [03:28] just a prompt [03:29] that would prob be the recovery option - for in case the graphics play up or something [03:29] it should have mentioned recovery in the grub menu [03:29] thanks moetunes but i am still not getting any luv [03:30] krookeye: it is not something I have tried [03:30] no [03:30] i dont select the recovery option for either the old kernel or the new on [03:31] i am wondering how i can start kde from the prompt from the new kernel prompt once i log in, and whther it will be the same as the old kernel [03:31] sorrry for this [03:32] i have no idea really how to start kde from the prompt [03:33] also, is this an apprpriate place to ask for help with wine?

[03:59] sure [04:01] ahm is it possible to install ms office 2010 in ubuntu (ultimate edition?) coz im using ultimate edition of distro [04:02] maybe through the app named wine [04:02] !wine [04:02] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:03] ahhhh ic... [04:03] so idont to use gparted? [04:04] so idont to use gparted in order to have partition in my HDD? [04:04] if you want to install ubuntu you do - for ms office it would be best to use windows [04:04] there is open office for ubuntu [04:04] !openoffice [04:04] a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components.

User help available in #openoffice.org. [04:05] ahhhh ok. [04:06] because i read on the forum that its possible to install ms office 2010 in ubuntu but there's comes a lot of issue thats why im asking here if its possible. [04:06] :) [04:07] coz im new in ubuntu [04:07] you can run it - but I would check wines' app database at [04:07] !appdb [04:07] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [04:08] i just parted the windows xp and im joining in linux world. hehehe [04:08] it's fun here :] [04:08] Ubuntu_LinuX: If you're new to Linux, you might be better off with CrossOver Office to run MS Office in Linux. [04:09] Ubuntu_LinuX: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxlinux/ [04:10] Ubuntu_LinuX: If you're new to Linux, you might be better off with CrossOver Office to run MS Office in Linux. <----yah dats why i decided to use open office 3 [04:10] Ubuntu_LinuX: Good choice! Welcome to the Light Side. :-) [04:11] thanks darthfrog [04:12] so how about this one. is it possible to connect to other computer using run application? [04:12] i must be missing something. i can't find any setting (even when i google) for dual-monitor wallpapers (i.e. my nice 3300x1050 wallpaper image). I can set a wallpaper on each monitor individually from what i can tell, but i can't seem to set a single image to span both monitors [04:15] Ubuntu_LinuX: not like in windows where you can just do \\computernameorip\, but some connections can be executed in a similar manner, if that's what you're referring to. [04:15] yah thats what im referring [04:16] because when Alt+F2 the run application window appear but when i try to connect to other computer it doesnt connect [04:16] depending on the machine you're trying to access it can be different. if it's another linux machine, you'll need nfs-server running on it, if windows, then we get to have some real fun (and by fun, i mean drink a bottle of vodka first, it'll help) [04:17] nighty everyone [04:17] what command are you trying to use to connect? [04:17] I'm looking for a plasmoid similar to one widget I used in KDE3.5 [04:18] it was to make the windows menus appear in a panel [04:18] what command are you trying to use to connect? <----no i didnt use terminal i only press Alt+F2 then try to put ip on it but it doesnt connect im using ubuntu 10.4 LTS [04:18] vodka assists when many other means of fixing a problem have failed. in fact, i even recommend vodka as a starting point anymore [04:18] :) === sdsheeks__ is now known as sdsheeks [04:19] hehehehe. sorry jmichaelx i dont drink. [04:19] thanks for referring. :) [04:19] jmichaelx: i'm not really sure what you said, but i'm guessing you decided to start early and have already been drinking :P lol [04:19] Ubuntu_LinuX: that is your problem, then [04:19] LOL [04:20] Ubuntu_LinuX: vodka really does help when trying to make windows play well with others. and it's only going to get worse if they buy out adobe >_< [04:20] on topic, though, are you trying to access a windows machine or another linux machine? [04:21] dammit, which desktop did i put that blasted dvd in; whoever decided to make cowboy bebop's theme music an infinite loop of just 20 seconds per rotation, should be shot [04:23] on topic, though, are you trying to access a windows machine or another linux machine? <----im trying to connect to windows xp and vista [04:23] password protected sharing, or open sharing of public folders? [04:24] xp we should be able to get work, between trial and error, and google (i'm a bit rusty), vista might be more problematic, i know win7 is [04:24] its a public sharing of folder [04:25] excellent, should be nice and easy then [04:25] yupz.... [04:25] but why is it that i cannot connect? [04:25] just gotta find the tool in the menus to do it; quick google of "connect to windows share from kubuntu" should give you what you need [04:26] because \\computernameorip\ is not a valid command or path [04:26] ahhhhh i see.... [04:26] so just typing that into run (which is the same thing as typing the same thing into a command line and hitting enter) doesn't work [04:26] what could cause errors like this: "warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 51010 package 'virtualbox-3.1'........". i got hundreds of these today while upgrading to maverick, and now i see them whenever any package management is done [04:26] because \\computernameorip\ is not a valid command or path <----so meaning the ubuntu doesnt recognize it as a valid command? [04:27] Ubuntu_LinuX: meaning that windows does things wrong, and linux does it right :P but yeah, that's the gist of it. [04:27] Ubuntu_LinuX: so what we need to do first is make sure we have a folder ready to mount the network share to [04:27] i like using /media/ for my shares so sudo mkdir /media/nameofcomputer [04:28] ahhhhh.... [04:28] so u mean ill use terminal? [04:28] obviously do not use any spaces, and it is case sensitive. the name really doesn't matter, but i like using the name of the share [04:28] yeah, easier that way [04:28] ahhhhh i see [04:29] sporkwitch what i mean is i want to see my cousins file in here laptop hes using windows xp and me is ubuntu [04:31] ok, so you just want a temporary thing [04:31] doing some googling (that you should have done :P) it looks like you SHOULD be able to open up a file manager and in the path dialog try smb://ipaddress/ [04:32] let me know if that works, i'm going outside for a smoke [04:37] let me know if that works, i'm going outside for a smoke <----instead of this "\" i'll use this one "/"? [04:37] yep [04:38] it's \ in windows - /in linux [04:38] ahhhhh ic.... [04:38] wait let me try. [04:39] doing some googling (that you should have done :P) it looks like you SHOULD be able to open up a file manager and in the path dialog try smb://ipaddress/ <---u mean ill use terminal? in doing smb? [04:40] Ubuntu_LinuX: the way i remember it is this: windows is backwards so they use \, linux uses forwardslash / like everyone else :P [04:41] Ubuntu_LinuX: you should be able to type smb://ipaddress/ into konquerer or w/e you use for a file manager, and it should show you the shares on that machine [04:41] ahhhhhh.... [04:41] moetunes: don't suppose you know how to get my 3300x1050 wallpapers to work on here? not having much luck with google and can't find anything by wandering through menus [04:42] (dual-monitor setup) [04:42] all I know is [04:42] !xrandr [04:42] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:43] Ubuntu_LinuX: you should be able to type smb://ipaddress/ into konquerer or w/e you use for a file manager, and it should show you the shares on that machine <---- thanks for the info spork it works i could see my cousins file in his windows xp OS [04:43] woot! [04:44] i use the file manager [04:44] Ubuntu_LinuX: try it on the vista machine and let me know if it works [04:45] moetunes: no joy, no mention of how to get it to do a single wallpaper stretched across multiple monitors :( [04:45] ok. ill just give u a shot when i did. but ill try it in the office on monday [04:45] moetunes: appreciate it though; i'll just have to do some more googling [04:45] k [04:45] i've got it using the two monitors fine, it's ONLY the wallpaper i'm having trouble with lol [04:46] worst case i hop back on digital blasphemy and grab some of the two-file versions, but that's not ideal, since then i can't have it randomly cycle them in a slideshow [04:49] sprokwitch how about this one. i have an installer the extention file is .exe when i use the terminal i use this command: sudo apt-get install zuma for example it brings me this message couldnt find zuma. how does it happen? my command is ok [04:49] have you set a virtual screen size? [04:50] moetunes: the nvidia x configuration app set the desktop as the combined resolution, yeah, and i updated xorg.conf with its settings [04:51] but the "desktop activity" window sets things individually by the screen, not the desktop [04:52] unless.... [04:52] this dude - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46206 - has the oppisite prob [04:54] moetunes: worth a shot, but i'm gonna do some more digging first [04:55] i ended up uninstalling compiz because the plasma desktop stuff would still fight it on some things, don't want the same to happen with that nitrogen app [04:57] my plot didn't work :( tried using the "different activity for each desktop" setting, and see if that'd let me adjust the combined workspace at once. no joy [05:03] sprokwitch how about this one. i have an installer the extention file is .exe when i use the terminal i use this command: sudo apt-get install zuma for example it brings me this message couldnt find zuma. how does it happen? my command is ok [05:04] no package by the name of zuma [05:04] use the GUI package manager, usually easier if you aren't sure of the exact name of the package you need [05:04] as to the .exe, is it executable? is it a LINUX executable? [05:04] just because it says .exe doesn't mean it's written to be understood or work in linux [05:04] nope. [05:05] yupz its executable. [05:05] just so we're clear, is it AN executable (.exe extension) or is it actually SET as executable? in linux there's a difference. [05:06] its set as executable. [05:06] kk [05:07] so how is it to be installed? [05:07] then assuming that it IS, in fact, a linux program, you should be able to simply run it. just type the path and name and hit enter. this won't update info about it in the package manager, though, and i don't know the string to get the package manager, from a command line, to install from a specified file [05:07] can probably find it in the man page for it [05:08] ahhhh [05:09] When I open KPackageKit or Amarok I get a message that I can install extra functionality, but when I try to do so I get the message "This operation cannot continue since proper authorisation was not provided" without getting a chance to input my password. Any ideas? [06:01] hi all, was wondering if any body has been able to get Skype to work with 10.4 64 bit? [06:14] Starwatcher: i had it working... but i just upgraded to maverick this afternoon. guess i should check whether or not it is still working [06:41] hi [06:42] does anyone know about scanning software for kde?

I downloaded and moved the cism216.fw file to my folder /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ Both XSsane and gscan2pdf recognise the scanner, but when I click on the Scan button (in Xsane or gscan2pdf) I get the following error message: Document feeder out of documents. But it seems that the document that I want to scan is correctly put in the scanner. Any idea what is going wrong? [11:15] Can I create a NTFS partition from ubiquity-kde in "advanced partitions"?

(I've heard about creating FAT as a bridge but not sure) [15:52] sresu, it depends on the file system you use for your linux stuff. [15:53] sithlord48: As in? I use ext4 [15:53] sresu, there is a tool for mounting ext2+3 directly in windows i can't recall the name its possible that has been updated to also support ext4 [15:54] sithlord48: Afaik, a bridge is need to created to access K/Ubuntu files from Windows, like FAT [15:55] * is to be created [15:55] this was a driver for ext2/3 for windows enableing you to mount them directly as like F or what ever let me c if i can find its name [15:55] sithlord48: Sure [15:57] sresu: this seams to be an updated version w/ a how to http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ [15:57] AntiLiberal: e2fs drivers?? [15:58] e2fs drivers?? [15:59] i long ago used it w/ winxp for ext3, it worked great for me [16:00] I love how i have 131 mb of upgrades to get and it will only use 8mb after install :) [16:01] sithlord48: Were you talking about e2fs drivers? [16:02] sresu: its possible but honestly i can't remember the name its been a few years since i have used it [16:02] sithlord48: Ah.. sure no probs. I will probably use your link then. Thanks :) [16:03] sresu: no problem [16:08] sithlord48: you can liken it to getting $131 payment, but ending up with only $8 after tax. :) [16:08] Realmkeeper: but thats a bad thing,, this is a good thing, like a 131 dollar payment w/ only $8 tax taken out :P [16:10] im upgrading to 4.5.2, so its worth the 8Mb disk space :P [16:11] sithlord48: is 4.5.2 part of 10.10 without backports? [16:11] Realmkeeper: its in the kubuntu-ppa [16:12] okay [16:12] Realmkeeper: you can find the repo info on the kubuntu.org page [16:13] sithlord48: my computer didn't like 10.04 - couldn't find wireless - so hoping 10.10 is better. [16:14] Realmkeeper: my Gf's lappy would lock up on acpi events w/ 10.04, i had to put debian on it,, but 10.10 works perfectly [16:14] sithlord48: in fact, I recall it couldn't connect at all even using wire connecting... old computer. [16:14] Realmkeeper: must be your chips .. [16:15] Realmkeeper: just about every computer i have tried w/ teh live cd wired or wireless would worked so thats a good thing.. [16:16] sithlord48: the old computer is currently running Debian... just hoping a LiveCD test of 10.10 shows that all works now. Yes, I would guess it's the chips, etc, but it's not worth changing them. [16:16] Realmkeeper, try this method , it bypasses the network manager (which is most likely the culprit : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [16:16] Realmkeeper: i hear you there.. on my netbook i ended up changing the wifi card , since it was the only thing w/o drivers.. [16:17] BluesKaj: thanks [16:17] Realmkeeper, thank me if it works :) [16:17] okay :) [16:19] brb gonna log out and check that 4.5.2 went well [16:20] sit got the repos url ? I'm on 4.5.1 [16:20] sith? [16:21] bummer [16:22] well everything but the desktop starts... === Apophis is now known as Guest85070 [16:24] i have a symbol look up problem when running plasma-desktop.. [16:26] Countdown says "Out Now!". Download has "10.04". And my ISP still has only 'rc' versions. Guess I'll download some time this afernoon or tomorrow. [16:26] here it says 1 day left... [16:26] PS: I want to download from my ISP so as not to eat into my quota. [16:27] well its right now it seams i have a issue running plasma-desktop other then that all seams well [16:27] sithlord48: I'm guessing it's reading my computer's time, as it's 1:23am Sun, 10 Oct now. [16:28] sithlord48: the desktop problem is only cause you jumped the gun to 4.5.2, right? 4.5.1 was stable? [16:29] 4.5.1 i was using on lucid for a while and only for a few hours on maverick [16:29] ok i think i fixed it brb [16:31] ok it all works [16:31] it was yawp , crashing it . [16:33] Realmkeeper: as long as you remove yawp , or don't have yawp installed kde 4.5.2 seams to work just fine [16:33] Guess you'll have to just wet your finger and stick it out the window to get wind direction and speed, now, huh. [16:33] :) [16:33] well there are other weather plasmoids, but only yawp seamed to get my location [16:34] Realmkeeper: oh it seams to be when u use the search for a location.. or load from accueweather.. [16:34] Tell me, does anyone actually use the "snow" kwin effect? I just could not see why you'd use it while trying to use the computer. [16:34] Realmkeeper: that must need an update, so i guess no weather for me [16:35] Those snow flakes just get annoying. [16:35] Realmkeeper: iirc you can make it snow under your programs [16:37] sithlord48: I suppose; just seems an opulent use of computer power. [16:38] idk my gf likes it but only if its winter , i could see it being cool when used w/ the weather plasma desktop u know if its snowing out side [16:38] i used it w/ compiz, but i changes the flakes to about 100 different tuxes.. but i never used the computer with that effect on [16:38]
