I am just setting up my new kubuntu box (migrated from Ubuntu yesterday) and are wondering if there exists a KDE-specific app like the one i used on Ubuntu called startupmanager, to fix my "startup settings" like colors and screen resolution, or if that one is also the same used on KDE? [06:47] Syste, Settings bottom called Startup and shutdown ChrisBuchholz [06:47] system* [06:49] Sorry I didnt read entire question I thought you wanted autostart [06:49] elimental: oh, no worries;) [06:49] elimental: problem is, when i enable my nvidia driver, i get all wrong resolution and only 8 colors on the plymouth screen. I usually fix this with the gnome app startupmanager [06:50] Yeah I know... havent found one yet, moved to kde about a week ago :) [06:51] gnome user myself... but Unity forced me to move to kde early :) [06:51] ChrisBuchholz: check the 'display' option in system settings [06:51] elimental: oh, funny! I did that too, for exactly the same reasons!!! [06:51] geekosopher: thank you, ill take a look [06:53] can't say for sure if your changed settings will remain so after rebooting, no experience with nvidia cards (or any card for that matter) [06:53] ChrisBuchholz: weat we looking for is http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=75442 [06:53] but its not in 4.5 as it doesnt suport grub 2 yet [06:53] elimental: oh... [06:54] geekosopher: the settings seems to be right in there [06:55] hmm, but the output is not what you expect? [06:56] geekosopher: well, i figure that in system settings > display, it only targets when i am in kde right? I did on gnome anyways. I had to use the startupmanager application, which configure grub, to set specific resolution and colors. I guess what i am looking for is a KDE app to configure grub [06:57] it did on gnome* [06:57] oh, ok [06:58] ChrisBuchholz: sorry i mis-interpreted [06:58] geekosopher: no worries, mate === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [07:12] ChrisBuchholz: well i see that startupmanager depends on lot of gnome stuff, but if you don't mind installing it, you are good to go [07:33] how do i make hdmi audio work in 10.10? === evilnhandler is now known as nhandler [07:37] ktorrent had partially downloaded a file when I switched from jaunty to maverick.

[07:39] interesting question - only one way to find out I guess :) [07:39] geekosopher: Probably [07:40] but you might want to copy settings from ~/.kde/share/apps and [07:40] ~/.kde/share/config as well [07:40] oh wait [07:40] you don't have those [07:41] anyways most likely yes [07:41] danni_: ok, trying [07:41] moetunes: :D [08:07] ok [08:07] i have a question for you... [08:07] I have downloaded and supposedly installed a few themes for my login screen [08:08] but they won't appear as choices for themes [08:08] just the default one [08:08] is available [08:09] i am a little curious where these files go, so maybe i can try to manually install them [08:10] via the "insttall new theme" button [08:12] andrewh192: where did you down load them? [08:12] ie. in which program? [08:13] hey [08:13] from the login screen get new themes button [08:14] Login Screen-System Settings [08:14] oho? theres a get new themes button on the login screen now? didnt know about that one... [08:14] oh [08:14] yeah [08:14] one sec [08:14] but, it seems that when i supposedly choose one from the list, and "install" it [08:14] I knew there was one in system settings, just thought you meant on the actual login [08:15] it never shows up on my list to choose from [08:15] oh [08:15] yeah [08:15] that's the one i meant [08:15] didn't mean at actual login [08:15] sorry [08:15] my bad [08:15] andrewh192: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:15] should have explained that better [08:16] am i supposed to login as root or something and then change that? because i have been able to successfully change other themes [08:16] andrewh192: give me a sec, Im playing - seems I get the same thing [08:16] but for some reason it won't let me install a new theme for the login screen [08:17] how do you install a new login screen theme? [08:17] hello... which is the best MSN client for linux with webcam support? [08:18] andrewh192: first, this is a bug and needs fixing. second, let me try one thing to see if I can sort a work around [08:18] nafri: I think kopete does a good job of it [08:19] jussi: kopete does support webcam but not for msn :( [08:20] really? I was pretty sure it did... [08:21] do you know where those theme files get put? [08:21] maybe i can install theme manually [08:21] andrewh192: it is a bug - please file it if you have time. I also have a workaround for now [08:21] ok [08:22] kewl [08:22] i am all ears [08:22] jussi: atleast it did at some point, have to test it if it still does [08:23] andrewh192: if you go to kde-look.org and click KDM themes you can download the themes normally from there - then just use the "install new theme" button and choose the downloaded file === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [08:24] andrewh192: please do go file the bug - are you familiar with how to do that?

[10:07] i could use it for diffing [10:07] crissi_: what makes you think that kubuntu has changed the notify system to its own rather then kdes? [10:07] hi [10:08] im using kubuntu 10.04 and somehow managed to hide windows from the taskbar so open programs are not visible tehre but i've no idea how that happened :D is there a way to restore taskbar defaults or anything? [10:08] the ubuntu ones does not work correctly [10:08] surunveri: add the widget called "task manager" back to the panel [10:09] for example: http://imgpaste.com/tmp/otwfj.png [10:09] i think the notifications are fetched by the unbuntu ones [10:09] crissi_: :s I would suggest creating a new user and see if they have the same problem [10:10] which packages i have to install? can put your package list into pastebin (dpkg -l | grep ii)? [10:10] thx [10:10] crissi_: you might not nesserly be missing a package... try a new user and see if its a config problem first [10:11] hrr [10:11] Hello, I just installed kubuntu 10.10, when I try to install quanta I get the following message: http://pastebin.com/8hT4w24s , is there anything I can do about this ?

[10:48] very latest ppa one [10:48] ok :) [10:48] so i can't help [10:48] it's some two days old I guess [10:49] yeah [10:49] i used that repo too [10:49] don't worry itS fine, i just need to remember not to scroll on the videos but right or left to them :D [10:49] sorry someone can regive me the ubuntu's grub page for restore it?

[11:16] i am especially having trouble with the qt dialogs. If i use the qtcurve stuff so they look native, the font is all too big and i cant change it. If i choose "the other option", i can set font size to fit, but then the style looks something like windows 98 [11:17] Peace-: i have that too. Chromium / google chromium is awesome. If just it was native.

Webkit is long gone the khtml integration and is now a big big big thing - another thing now.

All videos support html5 video instead of flash now [11:20] i prefer blip.tv cuz it's no time limits [11:20] or somestuff like that [11:21] yeah okay. I watch lots of videos on blip.tv too. JSConf stuff and so [11:21] i upload :) [11:21] never done that myself [11:22] hmm... Anyone know how to get correct 256 color support in konsole?

[12:36] (You might need it if you use Kontact) [12:37] Peace-: why? my mac and windows machines both detected the type of wireless security in use automatically [12:37] jwatt: linux is no windows [12:37] Peace-: where do you disable it? [12:37] sure [12:37] ciao Peace tutto a posto con gli occhi :) [12:37] jwatt: or you should use an antivirus :) [12:37] gigirock: english please [12:37] Peace-: which menu on the systemsettings window? ) [12:37] progre55: there is a filter bar... use it :) [12:37] Peace-: ciao everything is ok with your eyes ? [12:38] Peace-: I thought Kubuntu was for human beings, no? so I'd really hope if wouldn't need me to enter all these tech details [12:38] gigirock: yea i can say they are ok [12:38] jwatt: linux is always linux [12:38] Peace-: doesnt really help) [12:38] it should just really show me what wireless networks are available, let me double click on one, enter the network key, and done [12:39] progre55: semantic desktop [12:39] * jwatt tries to figure out from his mac what type of encryption is used [12:39] progre55: search for that [12:39] jwatt: well use mac or windows [12:39] Peace-: oh, it was "desktop search". thanks =) [12:40] jwatt: you need of some stuff [12:40] jwatt: the name of your interface [12:40] jwatt: to get iwconfig [12:40] should be ath0 wlan0 or something like that [12:40] then [12:40] sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [12:40] or sudo iwlist ath0 scan [12:40] or maybe [12:40] better [12:41] sudo iwlist ath0 scan | grep NAME OF NETWORK [12:41] mm nope [12:41] it' better iwlist ath0 scan [12:41] hten you get some informations about your network [12:41] that you should know anyway...

[13:40] moetunes: it seems at a glance [13:41] moetunes: but it is all time. Hmm, just tried to use a wired connection - i dont have this issue here.

[16:13] Vivius: mm my blog xD it's a bit complicated [16:13] and written bad [16:13] xD [16:13] i hvae no time [16:14] http://nowardev.wordpress.com/ [16:14] thanks Peace [16:14] ok heres my last, quite vain question [16:14] when I first installed Kubuntu [16:14] Vivius: but... i guess [16:14] the font was really smooth and Mac OSX lookin was sweet [16:14] but now [16:14] wiki it's the best [16:14] it seems the same font [16:14] but thinner and not as smooth [16:14] Vivius: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:14] !wiki [16:14] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. [16:14] any ideas what happened? [16:15] Vivius: keep in mind wann reset your user? [16:15] Vivius: rename $HOME/.kde [16:15] upgrading kde you get problem ? [16:15] rename $HOME/.kde [16:15] xD [16:16] I don't know exactly what you mean Peace by that, to solve the font thing? [16:16] it could [16:16] if not ? [16:16] it wasn't from an upgrade, I don't know why it happened, I've instaled a fresh KDE4, but after a few days the font just went funny, but I can tell its the same font. [16:16] rename back that folder [16:17] Vivius: where are you from? [16:17] What is the default font when you install Kubuntu? Mine is called Ubuntu atm [16:17] I'm from Ireland, u? [16:17] italy [16:17] wow my english xD can be understood [16:17] Nice, dya play assassins creed :D love that game [16:18] what does resetting the user do Peace, it won't mess everything up will it, and do i just type what you wrote there and it'll be done? [16:21] Vivius: renaming $HOME/.kde = like you have just installed the system [16:21] ok i typed it and the comp is working loads, no m sgs yet [16:21] fingers crossed [16:21] so no customizations [16:21] no passwords [16:22] but hey you want get them back [16:22] not even the root password? and my app links will be gone?!? :O [16:22] just rename that folder [16:22] Vivius: root password will be kept [16:22] Vivius: ya for liks [16:22] links [16:23] WHAT HAVE YOU MADE ME DO [16:23] hehe [16:23] rename back... [16:23] :) [16:23] well at least I know a new command now if the crap hits the fan, linux always feels to me like an egg you have to be careful with in case you drop lol [16:23] but I know thats just down to my lack of knowledge :) [16:24] it wont remove all the programs i've installed will it [16:26] Vivius: this only removes settings for KDE, if KDE is started without settings files, it creates new with defaults ... so removing them means user workspace customisations reser [16:26] *reset [16:27] right ok thanks dmatt [16:27] sure is takin a while [16:28] Vivius: I suggest you explore System Setting, where under pplication Look (or something similar, I have localised version) you find settings for fonts and dithering... [16:29] k thanks :D [16:29] Vivius: there is lot of other options to customise every aspect of your KDE system === alex___ is now known as Badr === Badr is now known as BadR [16:31] Vivius: just one more tip: use alt-f2 to quickly start any application just typing few starting characters from the name... you will forget about menu very soon :) [16:33] ooo nice, thanks dmatt! [16:33] i've tried changing fonts manually there and messing with settings [16:33] it just doesn't look as smooth as before [16:33] but i know its the same damn font [16:34] it might have happened when i installed something gnome related a while back, but i can't remember now... [16:34] tnx got jabber working [16:34] Vivius: try to play with dithering options [16:35] where is dithering options? [16:36] just under the font selection [16:36] maybe it is not dithering, but hinting [16:37] System Settings/Application Look/Fonts [16:38] thanks dmatt, already checked that, it isn't a big issue, but I swear the fonts looked so perfect and smooth when i first loaded it, just a bit annoying, nothing major :) [16:39] try to boot from livecd and compare [16:40] good idea! [16:40] how long does this rename thing take, i typed it in, and nothing has happened in konsole, or went back to command line entry [16:42] it should take few seconds only, but i never tried it on live system [16:42] ok gonan drop off here and reboot and see what happens, hope i'm still here when i get back :D [16:42] if you see prompt then it's finished already [16:42] thanks for the help dmatt and Peace- [16:42] np [16:47] i really want this procector not to be inclucede in my main display alt-tab!!!!

[18:31] Mitschel, 10.10 [18:32] ok [18:33] do you mean the 4.5.3 release? if so, first of all you have to wait till the version is packaged for kubuntu [18:34] hi [18:34] is there a way to force stereo output to also send data to the subwoofer? [18:36] and once it is packaged just put this "ppa:kubuntu-ppa" into your repository list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [18:38] like mono is forced to stereo [18:46] Mitschel, ehmm... [18:46] Mitschel, reposity list ? [18:48] wilhart: did you read that link i posted? its the "other software" window [18:48] Mitschel, about [18:50] wilhart: this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [18:51] Mitschel, hmm [18:51] MichealH, in couple days this upgrades 4.5.3 ? [18:52] yes as soon as the packaging guys did thier magic, right now theres no easy way to get the 4.5.3 update. you have to wait [18:52] Mitschel, my software program doesnt have those [18:53] hey! I'd like to decorate my kde a bit. whitch packages contain more desktop themes (e.g. alternative styles for panel, popups and such)? i already have plenty of window borders and icons and stuff. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:53] MichealH, if i put this in sources.list: [18:53] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu maverick main [18:54] wilhart: yeah just saw that that page is out dated [18:54] MichealH, yep ,some new page plz :D [18:55] wilhart: just press alt+f2m, enter kpackagekit, click on settings and then on edit origins [18:55] now enter "ppa:kubuntu-ppa" and you are done [18:58] Mitschel, ok done.. [18:58] Mitschel, where do i see that source in etc/apt [18:59] MichealH, that's its really tehre [18:59] wilhart: It'll get dropped into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [19:00] solved my problem by changing center and subwoofer cable [19:01] Pici, look at this: [19:01] Pici, http://pastebin.ca/1980901 [19:02] Pici, something wrong? why i got losta those there [19:03] !offtopic | Peace- [19:03] Peace-, please see my private message [19:04] wilhart: Thats fine. [19:04] Pici, ok:D [19:04] Pici, upgrade kubuntu now [19:04] ITs because you added things in the past using either that same tool or add-apt-repository. [19:04] Pici, puts 4.5.2 ? [19:04] wilhart: What? [19:04] Pici, dist-upgrade now, it' should put kde 4.5.2 ? [19:04] wilhart: If its available. [19:05] Pici, so, should i wait on 4.5.3 ? or now install 4.5.2 ? [19:06] wilhart: If you have limited download bandwidth, wait for 4.5.3, otherwise it won't hurt to get 4.5.2 [19:06] Pici, i have 10m [19:06] how do I get 4.5.2? I'm using lucid [19:06] Pici, anything nice on 4.5.2 ? [19:06] wilhart: I specifically mean a quota. [19:06] Pici, yepyep [19:06] wilhart: I don't know. I don't use KDE myself. [19:07] can I get 4.5.2 without upgrading to maverick? [19:07] my sound is broken on MAverick [19:08] Pici, why ? gnome ?? [19:08] wilhart: Yes. But I can still help people with desktop agnostic problems. [19:09] Pici, ok === mren|off is now known as mren [19:09] Pici, got any idea why display 2 is in display 1 alt-tab? [19:12] is there anyone here who can answer my question? [19:12] wilhart: Sorry, I don't think I can help with that. [19:13] WhitePelican: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.5.2 obviously there is no official support for 4.5.2 in 10.04 [19:13] you either have to compile it yourself or find e non-official repo where kde 4.5.2 is packaged WhitePelican [19:14] s'ok my system is broken enough :) [19:14] thanks for your help tough [19:15] though* [19:15] sorry, I can't type to save my life [19:23] Pici, ok [19:26] Platform Version 4.5.2 (KDE 4.5.2) [19:26] :D [19:27] Pici, there? [19:27] wilhart: Yes? [19:27] Pici, my gdm doenst show anyt login/password just desktop backgroun wallpaper [19:28] Pici, and my kdm has login password but keyboard not working!! [19:28] Pici, how do i get keyboard working in kdm ? [19:28] Pici, something in xorg.conf ? [19:29] Pici, # Driver "kbd" [19:29] Pici, should i remove that # ?? [19:32] Pici, it didint work either [19:33] wilhart: I'm sorry, I need to deal with an issue here at work, perhaps someone else can help you. Or you can ask in #ubuntu for problems with gdm. [19:33] Pici, problem with kdm [19:35] anyone? help?? keyboard doesnt work in kdm [19:38] sorry wilhart no idea [19:40] wilhart: check the X log [19:45] if I do "plasma-desktop -graphicssystem raster", plasma popups (e.g. systrays hidden icons and Kickoff) don't show any content (the popup opens but only as transparent background). any thoughts? [19:47] hello [19:47] is there a possibility to have an overview of photos in the "Folder view" plasmoid instead of an icon? === lonewolf is now known as lonewolf2121 [19:56] hello. I have a weird issue on my lenovo laptop running Kubuntu 10.10. After upgrading it from 10.04, I only have sound in speakers, and not when I plug in the headphones. Any ideas where to look ? thanks! [20:01] reallove: in konsole alsamixer and turn the headphones up maybe === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [20:08] moetunes: huh, looks like I'm not the only one : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/637873 [20:08] Launchpad bug 637873 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "Headphones don't play on Lenovo Thinkpad T400s 64bit" [Undecided,Incomplete] [20:11] reallove: what audio adapter is used in your laptop? [20:11] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [20:12] if this is what you ask, jmichaelx [20:12] reallove: yes.... i have seen in the forums that other people are experiencing the same problem with that adapter [20:13] although, I haven't tried the fix described in that bug report [20:13] rebooting now, let's see if it helps me [20:13] brb [20:13] reallove: i have rev 02 and have also been having problems, but a different one than yours [20:15] we need more effects! [20:17] jmichaelx: wow. looks like I'm lucky. The fix from that bug report works for me too [20:20] reallove: good deal.... did you just have to add an option to your alsa-base.conf? [20:20] jmichaelx: correct [20:21] now time to fix the next issue that appeared after upgrading to 10.10... my computer does not go to sleep when I close the lid [20:21] reallove: nothing frustrates me more with linux than the constant one step forward, one step backward dance.... [20:22] jmichaelx: you bet. although, when I upgraded to 10.04 nothing bad happened, only now. hrrrr [20:23] reallove: i have had major issues with 10.10... had to revert back to 10.04 on one laptop due to regressions with mobile intel video performance in 10.10 === Eugen_ is now known as Guest39681 [20:23] oh crap, really? === Guest39681 is now known as Charon-at-Styx [20:24] I just discovered when I got to work that I had a 3rd issue with the upgrade: I am connecting to an external monitor through the docking station, and now the resolution and the monitor management sucks badly [20:25] reallove: what video adapter? [20:25] I have to admit though that the upgrade brought a new network manager waaaay better than the previous [20:25] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [20:27] reallove: i am thinking that you may be able to get things straightened out with that card... not sure though [20:27] but the most annoying thing is that 'sleep' not working when closing lid. [20:27] this frustrates me more [20:27] reallove: mobile intel sucks royally in maverick [20:28] heh [20:30] jmichaelx: omg, again, I am no the only one having the suspend-to-ram problem [20:30] damn this upgrade [20:33] reallove: join the croud of folks who remain very unimpressed with maverick [20:33] crowd* [20:33] unimpressed is very much an understatement, in my case [20:37] jmichaelx: i do not think it is so bad release [20:37] well dmatt , for me, the score of bad things vs improvements was 3:1 [20:38] jmichaelx: those who have problems always feel there is lot of people with problems, but it is different group each time... you might find 10.4 was big problem for some other people [20:39] dmatt: you cannot assess merely by the fact that your harware mixed well with 10.10.... when so many of the most common laptop GPUs on the market are doing so badly, it is a bad thing... even if you are blessed with having something that worls better [20:40] jmichaelx: but was it better any previous release? this time nvidia, intel before.... [20:44] dmatt: well, intel GPUs had done well the last several releases, although there was one (edgy?) that had intel problems [20:47] jmichaelx: it was jaunty [20:47] dmatt: ok, that sounds more like it === erwin is now known as Guest77578 [20:48] dmatt: i am not calling maverick a train wreck, but there are in my opinion, some very serious flaws that go beyond the norm [20:48] good, the suspend-to-RAM is fixed by applying the acpitool -s trick [20:49] reallove: congrats [20:49] the last issue remains with connecting the external monitor, which I suspect to be the more difficult [20:49] jmichaelx: heh thanks, google is my best friend :) [20:51] dmatt: edgy was going a bit too far back in time, lol [20:51] jmichaelx: no matter what changes in stack, there is allways somebody in pain [20:52] how can I adjust menu and popup transparency while using compiz? [20:52] dmatt: to be sure.... which is the reason linux is never going to "rule the desktop" [20:55] jmichaelx: don't be so negative :) [20:56] dmatt: i think what i said was more a result of realism than anything. also, i do not think i would like what would have to happen to linux for it to get to the point that it *could* rule the desktop [21:02] jmichaelx: I would survive linux rule ... (you could allways fork if things go wrong) [21:03] dmatt: it won't happen.... not on the desktop. in order for that to happen, linux distros would have to become much more unifrom... we do not want to go there..... [21:04] dmatt: the server room is another case entirely.... linux is slowly taking that realm over. the problem with the desktop is that desktop linux users will always have to be a bit more tech savvy that your average PC user [21:04] am I asking the right question? what determines the level of opacity on menus and popups? because if I change from kwin to compiz, the level of opacity of the menus and popups is changed drastically [21:05] how can I adjust those levels? [21:07] jmichaelx: nevermind I have not any longing for linux domination, till it works for me ... and is easier to support on my family PC's :D [21:08] dmatt: i totally agree..... it is VERY much what i prefer, both at work and at home === mren is now known as mren|off [22:34] how is possible control fan in notebook hp? === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [22:43] Does Kubuntu 10.10 come with some tool to scan documents?
