[00:03] ciao [00:48] When connecting to Kubuntu to share a desktop, it asks me to confirm the connection. How do I disable this and make it automatic? === muzer is now known as MuzerAway [01:48] hello [01:48] any idea how I can change the agent id in rekonq? [01:50] so it looks as if it's IE or something, you mean? [01:51] valoriez: indeed [01:51] valoriez: i was thinking firefox to see if ymail works [01:52] speaking of rekonq, does anyone have issues with not being able to see some of the menus? on this desktop with an nvidia GPU, it's just fine. on a laptop with on-board intel graphics, the menu does not appear (though an outline is faintly visible) [01:58] what menu would that be? maybe I have the same problem...but hadn't noticed [01:59] plasma has a bug [02:00] we've been fighting it in amarok too [02:21] valoriez: yea, i have also noticed this in amarok... but not consistently, as in rekonq [02:30] which is the package to get the "Oxygen" theme installed within KDE [02:35] !find oxygen [02:35] Found: doxygen, doxygen-doc, openoffice.org-style-oxygen, oxygen-cursor-theme, oxygen-cursor-theme-extra [02:39] oxygen-cursor-theme... is this just a cursor theme? === kothalis is now known as nickobrava === mren is now known as mren|off === root is now known as Guest81822 [03:10] kaffeine and dragon player crashed when playing wmv files although I have installed restricted format. Using Kubuntu 10.10 [03:13] Greenery: for the correct backend? [03:14] phonon-xine and phone-gstreamer require different codec packages [03:15] restricted extras and -addons might both be required for wmv [03:15] I'm not sure [03:16] and I think nothing will play them if they are DRM'd [03:16] I can play WMV in Amarok, however [03:17] how do you unlock the samba section in system settings? [03:32] hello anyone home? [03:34] dbwalsh: ask your question, don't ask to ask [03:34] :-) [03:35] hi guys is it possible to add thunderbird to the kubuntu indicator plasmoid? [03:35] I want to know about activating desktop effects, In Desktop effects it says " Desktop Effects are Disabled on this system due to the following technical issues" [03:35] but nothing is actually mentioned [03:35] i read somewhere its possible to do this on ubuntu but following the walk around doesn't work on kubuntu [03:35] I got ATI HD2600 [03:36] runs fine in ubuntu [03:36] Tried both open source drivers and proprietry [03:36] is there somewhere I can find more information regarding why they are not enabled? [03:41] ok solved had to delete kwinrc from .kde/share/config [03:42] thanks for telling us, dbwalsh [04:04] thumbnails are not working in the folder view plasmoid. Any ideas why? This is JPEG & PNG images [04:05] Also, the preview tab of the file properties dialog shows a no entry icon === william_ is now known as william__ === william__ is now known as william_ === william_ is now known as william_15 [04:07] I installed mplayerthumbnails package which made it possible to get thumbs of videos in kphotoalbum, but the plasmoid is still not working. [04:09] is there a bug filed against it? [04:09] !bug [04:09] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [04:10] if you use that command, a lot of the info will be filled in for you automatically [04:12] I'll take a look. [04:12] i read somewhere its possible to do this on ubuntu but following the walk around doesn't work on kubuntu [04:13] what doesn't work? [04:14] preview /thumbnail of images in folder view plasmoid [04:15] works find in dolphin by clicking the "preview" button. FOlder view options show preview is on for JPEG and movie files using mplayerthumbs but neither work in the folder view. [04:22] Are there additional desktop effects in KDE than the default installed? [04:23] in kubuntu that is [04:23] valoriez: ability to add thunderbird to the kubuntu indicator plasmoid [04:24] I was wondering if its possible to do that on kubuntu [04:27] hmmm, I don't have a clue [04:27] sorry [04:31] I opened a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/661995 [04:31] Launchpad bug 661995 in kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) "thumbnails / in folder view plasmoid do not work" [Undecided,New] [04:31] bigbrovar: it only works for applications that use dbus to send desktop notifications, which thunderbird does not seem to do [04:32] tsimpson: oh ok .. thanks [05:07] matthewg42: i had that same issue when i upgraded to maverick. i was unable to get it fixed until i upgraded to KDE5.5.2 [05:37] I upgraded my netbook to 10.10 and I don't have any tools displaying. If I terminate the netbook plasma, I can use apps via ALT+F2, but no border keys (minimize, maximize, close). How do I get it to use just the desktop plasma, not netbook? [05:39] Hey all, I just upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, I've always been a fan of kde, but the whole 4 series has been so buggy, that I had no real choice but to switch to gnome :-( Anyway, I had heard good things about 4.5 so I installed it... long story short, I was configuring plasma, suddenly X died, I couldn't escape to any other tty so I had to hard reboot. Now even in a gnome session I can't get any kde apps to run. I really need [05:39] kate it is my primary editor. Note when I try and run it from command line I get a cryptic "Bus Error" and it's done! note that It worked after the upgrade, the trouble started after I installed the smooth tasks plasmoid running which really caused all the issues... === Dwonis is now known as dwon [05:42] Note! I cannot run any applications based on kde! not even Konversation :-( [05:43] what is the best torrent client for kubuntu [05:43] a fast client [05:44] let me look draik [05:45] Ktorrent is a pretty good one it's very similar to uTorrent on windows, only even more configurable! [05:45] idk how it benchmarks but it feels pretty fast all things being equal... [05:46] draik, go to systemsettings > default applications > Window Manager or where ever the default applications are on your version of systemsettings [05:46] thanks gkffcks [05:47] olskolirc: I don't have any menus [05:48] draik: I've never used the netbook edition, but try hitting alt+f2 then typing systemsettings into the box and hitting enter... [05:48] i have a good solution for both of you [05:48] olskolirc: It took a while, but if finally responded. [05:48] draik, and gkffcks dump Maverick like the rest of us [05:48] its JUNK [05:48] im back on karmic [05:48] gkffcks: Yeah, I did that earlier. [05:48] How do I go back? [05:49] you can't draik you have to reinstall [05:49] :( [05:49] On the bright side, I separated /home on a different partition [05:50] i have a habit of backing up my sources.list to an external just in case i can't boot my usb then id just uninstall the os and rename the backup sources.list.back to the earlier sources.list and go from there [05:50] I also happen to have a desktop that was setup the same way. [05:51] its a querky install with having to use dpkg-reconfigure -a [05:51] I can copy the sources.list, too [05:51] But on top of that, I also backup my installed packages. [05:51] This way, I just go back to my sources.list and then do a re-install of all the packages I had. [05:51] cook draik [05:51] Long download times. but well worth the comfort of knowing you have it all back. [05:55] draik: etckeeper is handy, too [05:58] I once converted a system from debian etch to ubuntu 8.10, it was one of the more frightening things I've done, but the sources.list is a powerful thing! [06:00] so no real solutions to the kate bus error problem, I really can't down grade this system unfortunately! [06:03] i have a question, why do KDE users consider Kubuntu a lacking KDE SC based distro? [06:03] i've been using it for a while now, and can't find truth to it. [06:03] the package management is great [06:04] out of box experience is awesome [06:04] what components is Kubuntu lacking that other distros do so well? [06:04] has anyone heard any common complaints? [06:08] nobarking, as much as i love kde and kubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 sux [06:08] olskolirc: what sucks about it? [06:09] To be honest, I used kde 3.x for years, I also blead through kde 4.0, KDE 4.1, and KDE4.2, and 4.3 before I learned the hard way that kde has no hope :-( What was it some nearly 20000 bug fixes, and it still crashes 10 minutes after I start using it? All I wish is that kate, the only true text editor wasn't part of that horible mess. Seriously, the first thing that needs to happen, is plasma needs to be fixed, by fixed I mean that no [06:09] one widget should be able to crash it... Second if dbus crashes which apparently what's happened to me NO Application that is built on kde can run???? Really who thought of that? REALLY? wow [06:09] there is no /media/cdrom and it points to /dev/sr0 with no entries in /etc/fstab or mtab it ships with pulse audio and the plasma desktop crashes constantly [06:10] many things lack with plasma desktop and configuration [06:10] i long for kde 3x and i could quickly skin my own task bar too! [06:10] i have to pick the best ugly graphic with this plasma [06:10] and i don't have time to learn to program plasma and plasma is not worth that kind of time out of me [06:12] gkffcks, on 10.10 you can't even restart the plasma desktop with plasma-desktop at the command line the dbus has errors and can't start so gone the plasma desktop [06:13] i just made a bootable usb out of Debian Lenny so that I can have kde 3x [06:13] im back on karmic for now [06:14] Yes!!! I started it from CLI, using plasma-desktop and I tried logging out, and doing the old startkde trick, it just doesn't work... [06:14] It gives me dbus errors, dolphin does the same thing. [06:14] kate and konversation just give "Bus Error" [06:15] which must have something to do with the dbus problem... [06:16] I'm gonna ask the #kde guys if they know anything more about dbus and restoring my ability to use Kate! === frogonwheels is now known as frogonwheels_ === frogonwheels_ is now known as frogonwheels [06:20] gkffcks: what's the latest KDE SC version you've tried? [06:20] olskolirc: if you upgraded you might want to clear the plasma configuration folder [06:21] i had a lot of plasma crashes after the upgrade because of this [06:22] I've used 4.4 for a few months last year, actually up until about June but it was so buggy... I got to a point where I just couldn't take it... and obviously I've tried 4.5, we all know how that went.. that's why I'm here haha! [06:22] I know earlier KDE SC 4 versions had a lot of issues, but right now i have my Kubuntu box updated to KDE SC 4,5.2 and it's working pretty solid for me [06:23] june of this year* [06:23] gkffcks: so what distro do you use right now? [06:23] I've used every version of kde4.x except for 4.5 [06:24] jmichaelx: ok, thanks for the confirmation. [06:24] right now I'm just using gnome... but I would prefer using kde... I still use lots of kde apps, dolphin for one, is my default fm, and kate obviously! [06:25] oh, and Konversation! Def the best irc client... [06:26] nobarking, i did a straight install and im back on karmic i didn't even go back to Lucid it wasn't impressive [06:26] it'll be karmic or Debian for me from here on out and what is the name of the new version they are working on after Maverick nobarking do you know? [06:28] olskolirc: i don't think it's been announced yet [06:28] It looks like natty narwhal according to google.. but that could easily be wrong! [06:28] olskolirc: oh no, it's natty narwhal [06:29] gkffcks: yeah you're right [06:34] olskolirc: gkffcks: have you guys seen KDE 3 Remix for Maverick? [06:34] it's KDE 3.5 with the latest upgrades for Maverick: http://kubuntuguide.org/Maverick#KDE_3_Remix [06:36] is it plasma nobarking ? [06:36] plasma is only KDE 4? [06:37] No, plasma is KDE4 and up [06:37] in kde3 they used konqueror as the desktop shell, and something called kicker as the panel [06:38] ^kdesktop, not konqueror [06:38] konqueror was just the file manager/web browser thingey [06:40] yeah... [06:40] i don't see any youtube about kde3 remix [06:41] was it actually a seperate kdesktop, I thought it was just an extension of the folder view in konqueror extended to the desktop? [06:42] I'm trying the remix repo, it seems to be down... [06:42] Apt failed to connect to the server :-( === mike is now known as Guest20810 === johnson is now known as Guest68944 === administrator is now known as Guest20140 [07:00] it seems to me that all the .iso images for kde3 remix don't download it just hangs or there is a 404 page [07:02] not in the repository either [07:10] anyone having issues with nvidia drivers on 10.10? I have a 6600, as soon as I installed the drivers with the driver installer utility, and restarted, x will not start. [07:13] it claims, no screens found. [07:18] palodequeso: does it at least load to the login screen? [07:18] no [07:19] nobarking: I did it with the additional drivers app [07:19] then when that failed I tried using nvidia-xconfig [07:19] but now I realize kubuntu doesn't use xorg.conf anymore [07:19] so I emptied that, and now it's at least working like it was on first boot, but still no nvidia drivers. [07:20] I just tried "activating" the nvidia driver again, and am rebooting the machine [07:21] palodequeso: using the installer is the best way to go and try this thread too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390813 [07:21] nobarking: yep, back to now x [07:21] nobarking: yea, the installer breaks x [07:22] I suppose, if I really can't get it working the "ubuntu" way, I could always manually type in a screen. [07:22] in xorg.conf [07:22] but that sucks [07:22] palodequeso: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:22] FloodBotK2: sorry === stephen is now known as Guest70374 [07:29] 10.10 works great on my dell very happy :) [07:40] nobarking: I've never had issues with an nvidia driver, this is driving me bonkers. Is there a way to tell kubuntu to use the nvidia driver or see where it's set from a config file or some such? [07:42] palodequeso: you can install the beta drivers [07:43] the latest, directly from nvidia.com [07:44] nobarking: I suppose it's worth a shot, but I wonder if they still use xorg, or if they're better off with ubuntu's new setup [07:44] palodequeso: i believe it does use xorg [08:18] regarding some problems with the digital clock where would be the best place to talk about this what I think is a bug. [08:18] the first problem I've found sometimes when logging in (and using the Nimbus Sans L font) the clock looks like this http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/9288/borkedtextnimbussansl.png [08:18] the second problem I've found is that there's not enough room or rather border on the clock and some text gets cut off for example it looks fine when the widget is unlocked like this: http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9973/unlockedd.png but when it is locked it's very difficult to see the t http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/6040/cutoffclock.png [08:19] the third problem I've found and (I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 with KDE 4.5.1) sometimes when I login I see a strange square http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/1867/strangesquare.png I'm wonddering if anyone else sees this strange square, seems the only way to make it go away is to log out or disable and then re-enable compositing effects [08:35] is anyone here having issues with bluedevil on kubuntu 10.10? I cant get it to send files to my device or even get pairing to work. I don't know if it is a problem with my phone (Nokia N900) or a problem with my bluetooth hardware.. or a problem with bluedevil.. I dont have any device to test it out on.. can someone comfirm this?

Any help appreciated [16:12] zyx: the get new stuff dosent work that great yet.... best to download the themes manually if they dotn work through the auto method [16:13] James147: automatic download method works fine everywhere for me except for the KDM part [16:13] zyx: I think thats the point its weakest :) [16:13] How to save IRC chats in quassel?

[16:18] seems like it's not possible in a normal way [16:19] !away | Islington [16:19] Islington: You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently.

[16:32] and: what do i have to do if i used backports like firefox-mozilla-build in order to avoid conflicts? [16:32] when upgrading [16:33] i know that my kde3 profile will be converted into a kde4 one and the .kde4 profile will be abandoned [16:34] Hello all [16:35] I upgraded to 10.10 and I can't seem to get the netbook to work. I only see windows (but no borders) when I finally terminate the netbook-plasma process. [16:35] Byron: plasma-netbook is disngned so that when a window is maximised there are no borders (to maximize the useful space) [16:36] How can I force(?) desktop-plasma instead of netbook-plasma? [16:36] Byron: system settings > Workspace ... [16:37] I do not have any menus. How do I get System Settings opened from ALT+F2? [16:38] Byron: alt+f2 and type "System Settings" or "systemsettings" === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [16:43] Thank you, James147. Oddly enough, it was set to Desktop [16:44] DropBox or UbuntuOne? Which one is better? [16:45] sresu: I am currently using dropbox and ubuntuones kde client dosnt work teribally well (can send you an invite if you want as well) [16:46] sresu: but will think about tring ubuntuone again when the dke client matures abit [16:46] sresu: UbuntuOne is 1GB, Dropbox is 2GB [16:46] I'm on the same path but w/o Dropbox.. [16:46] Byron: hmm, thourght ubuntuone was 2gig as well [16:46] I guess both got 2 gb [16:46] I've not followed in a while. It may have gone from 1GB to 2GB. [16:47] Yep. 2GB [16:47] sresu: however, dropbox you can expend to 16gig for free through inviting others ;) [16:47] Never mind then. [16:49] James147: Wow! Thats cool [16:53] James147, or anyone else for this matter, is there a way to force the desktop plasma instead of the netbook plasma? It's not loading anything properly. [16:53] Actually, how about a re-install of the necessary packages, if anyone knows what those are? [16:53] Byron: reinstall wont do much [16:54] Byron: deleting or renaming ~/.kde will reset kde to its defaults [16:54] or ~/.kde/share/plasma* to reset jsut placsma [16:55] I don't have "plasma*" in ~/.kde/share === carlos is now known as Guest4456 === Guest4456 is now known as dtcrshr [16:56] Byron: share/config sorry :) [16:56] James147: No worries.

[17:02] okay, nvm, it fixed itsel [17:02] f [17:02] any idea why my left mouse button stopped working? [17:03] hi all trying to find a way in a terminal to find duplicate files on a mounted partition using a live disk [17:04] Byron: "cp file.old file.new" will copy file.old to file.new [17:05] Byron: "rsync -avh old new" will do the same but is better for large directoies [17:05] BenPA: ^^ even :) sorry [17:06] james147: sorry I don't understand ... are you saying ^^even? [17:06] BenPA: the two messages above my last where ment for you [17:10] james147: what I failed to tell you is that it is a windows partition ... trying to find dupes that were copied over [17:10] BenPA: o find duplicates :S miss read sorry [17:11] james147: yes [17:11] BenPA: you could try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5528987&postcount=3 === fa is now known as ZaccaR [17:16] james147: ok the closest that I can find is to use the following ... find *.* | du -ah | sort -n -r | less ... what do you think? [17:16] james147: can you think of a different way? [17:20] BenPA: I would think this is better: "find . -print -exec md5sum {} \; | sort | less" md5sum will produce the same output on two files that are identical === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [17:24] james147: I am trying this on a windows partition ... it says missing argument to -exec [17:25] james147: is there something different I should be using instead of md5sum {} \: ? [17:26] Greetings! On Kubuntu 10.10 (64bit) Amarok will not play audio CDs. K3B will rip them and Dolphin will recognize but Amarok shows a collection of 0 tracks and won't play them even when loaded individually from Dolphin. I also tried loading into Dragon Player and although it spins the CD, nothing happens. This drive and CD worked on my Win7 partition. [17:26] Joboo: have you installed "kubuntu-restricted-extras"? [17:28] BenPA: it works here on a windows partition [17:28]
