RoastedHow does Kubuntu 10.10 fair on standard netbook hardware? Meaning single core atom 1.6ghz etc?00:04
james147Roasted: works fine on my eee pc :)00:04
=== fred_ is now known as Guest74029
Roastedjames147, good deal. I havent used kubuntu since kde 4.2, which was still kind of.. well let's not go there. Willing to give it another shot though :P00:05
james147kde has improved ALLOT since 4.200:05
Roasteddoing the liveusb thing now, just waiting for it to complete00:05
Roastedyeah, but at the time so many people talked up 4.2 to be amazing, when it uh. wasn't. at all.00:06
Roastedhas me semi skeptical :P00:06
james147Roasted: ^^ i mean when compaired to kde 4.2, 4.5 is allot better00:06
Roastedis 4.5 on 10.10?00:06
Roastedor are you using a PPA?00:06
james147yes00:06
Roastedgood deal00:06
Roasted4.6 is the new guy then?00:06
james1474.6rc2 is in a ppa as well00:07
Roastedah k.00:07
Roastedyeah I'm curious. I made an image backup of Ubuntu 10.10 just in case with clonezilla. Never know :P00:07
Roastedsince this netbook is a screw around toy I figured I would utilize it to see what other netbook distros out there fair well.00:07
RoastedI just tried jolicloud but the whole cloud thing is pretty laughable in my opinion, but it was such a nice interface though.00:07
* james147 notes that you can install kubuntu-desktop inside ubuntu and efficivly have both on one partition00:07
Roastedbeen there, done that00:08
Roastedmaaaaaaajor mess.00:08
Roastedmuch easier to just have two independent partitions, one ubuntu, one kubuntu, that share the same home directory.00:08
Roastedseems as if kubuntu has frozen in the process of booting it up in a live environment. not a good start...00:11
=== mren is now known as mren|off
Roastedfroze again...00:14
Roastedformatted the flash drive, installed kubuntu 10.10 onto flash drive again, third time attempting boot - froze again00:20
Roastedsuch a shame I can't even try kubuntu on a netbook. IT won't fricken boot.00:20
Roastedwell, I tried kubuntu. you failed me again. Bye guys. :(00:23
isaiashi, kubuntu 10.10 has a good Dock?00:24

setuidHow do I stop users from being listed in kdm?05:28
setuidI've tried dozens of themes, but it always shows a list, even though I've unchecked "Show list" in the KDM config screen under the "Users" tab05:28
juankrlosbecause the temperature is  high (sometimes)05:28
yofelyou can use cpufreq-selector to set governor and frequency05:29
yofel(needs to be done seperately for every core)05:30
setuidyofel, s/separately/independently/05:30
yofeler, right05:30
yofelthough I think cpufreq-set can also do all at once, but I never tried that05:31
* james147 suggest looking into getting better cooling ^^05:32
james147(as well)05:32
yofelwon't help if it's a notebook ;) (though yes, that too if possible)05:32
* setuid uses a little script to overclock the fan on his Thinkpads05:32

james147yofel: still worth a look, nothing worst then underclocking your computer05:33
james147(well, except maby it melting ... )05:33
setuidundervolting your laptop on the other hand, has HUGE advantages05:33
yofelsetuid: how would you do that? (if there's no bios setting)05:34
setuidyofel, I do it on all of my Thinkpads... it's straightforward05:34
setuidSome info here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Pentium_M_undervolting_and_underclocking05:34
setuidThere's probably others for other laptop models as well (assuming Intel and/or AMD cpus, of course)05:35
setuidNot sure about netbooks, ATOM processors and the link05:35
setuids/link/likes05:35
james147though atoms have a decent power consumption so there is les sof an advantage :)05:35
setuidRight, and that's where the other tricks come into play (disable usb wakeup, etc.)05:36
setuidpowertop can help there05:36
yofelyeah, but you can't really underclock atoms, that's pretty much shutting them down05:36
setuidunderclock != undervolt05:36
setuidThey're very different05:36
yofelI know, undervolt might be possible05:37
setuidYou can run your CPU at 5V, 2.4Ghz, or 3.8V, 2.4Ghz05:37
yofeland powertop *is* useful05:37
* setuid fights with kdm, and refuses to give up 05:37
yofelthe kdm kcm doesn't work for that?05:37
setuidit's ignoring most of what I choose for settings, they appear selected/checked or unselected/unchecked in the config, so they SHOULD be working, but they're not05:38
setuidCould be an Ubuntu 11.04 buglet, one of about 3 dozen I've found and documented in the last 8 hours05:38

chiiiiizhello10:25
chiiiiizsmall problem: when logging in, the plasma desktop waits for my kwallet password to display the desktop. I think it appeared after an update..10:25
chiiiiizBefore, I only needed the kwallet password for Kontact or Amarok...10:26
chiiiiizany idea?10:26
james147chiiiiiz: do you have any widgets taht might store a password?10:26
chiiiiizHi, James1410:26
rorkchiiiiiz: any drives automatically mounting?10:27
chiiiiizI have on the desktop the Trash, a widget that displays the free space available for my mount points and disks, the Google Translator, the Plasmacon terminal, and 2 folderviews10:28
chiiiiizYes, I modified my fstab a long time ago, long before the problem appeared...10:29
chiiiiizEverytyhing was configured like it is now long before this problem appeared...10:29
chiiiiizsome network mountpoints use the cifs filesystem, since the folder to be mounted are on a W2003 Server machine.10:31
=== marsh is now known as Guest21298
chiiiiizOn the right click on Plasma there is a command I do not understand... Between "Execute a command" and "lock/unlock the plamoids"... In french it is called "Agencements", arrangements in english10:33
chiiiiizI have 3 of them, not named... that I do not know about... maybe this locks Plasma somewhere... Where can I remove them, what is their use?10:34
valoriechiiiiiz: maybe those are the Activities?10:37
valoriethat's new, you can organize your different desktops into different activities10:38
chiiiiizI guess so. What is their use? I never used them, but I may have browsed into them, and changed things that require the password.10:38
valorieNews is the only one that comes to mind10:38
chiiiiizI have 3 of them... but I do not see the use. How can I remove them?10:39
valorieso you could group activities that you normally do, all together10:39
valorieI just ignore them, until i put them to use10:39
valoriehow are they in the way of anything?10:39
chiiiiizI must add, I am most used to work under Gnome... KDE is quite recen,t for me...10:39
valoriesorry, I don't know anything about gnome10:39
chiiiiizSorry, I did not understand your last post?10:39
valoriedrives me nuts to have to work in it10:40
valorielol10:40
valoriewhy get rid of them? what harm are they doing?10:40
hammeranyone who nows a console tool to display current joystick positions!?10:40
chiiiiizNo, that okay, just to add that KDE is not my cup of tea so far... lost of things I still do not know about it...10:40
valorieit isn't for everyone, that's true10:41
valorieeveryone should use what they like10:41
chiiiiizah, I thought maybe these"Activities" require a kwallet password... and explain the fact that I have this password asked before Plasma starts, which recent... and annoying10:41
valorieno, I don't think so10:41
valoriethey might be lockable, such as a Business activity, which you would want passworded10:42
valorieor Banking10:42
chiiiiizand so thought I may have to erase them in order to retrieve my former desktop conf... and no password before I start Kontact or Amarok10:42
valoriewell, the reason you want a pw for Amarok is to access the web services10:42
valoriesuch as Last.fm, Magnatunes, etc.10:43
valorieif you don't use any web services, then you need no pw10:43
chiiiiizagreed... I use them, and a mysql database also.10:51
valorieoh, an external db?10:53
valoriethen yes, you have to give a PW one way or another10:53
valorieI prefer kwallet, since it's just once instead of over and over10:53
chiiiiizI understand that Amarok, or Kontact may need the Kwallet passwd, but I still do not see why Plasma required it... Thanks anyway11:01
valoriechiiiiiz: it isn't that plasma requires it, but security11:10
valorieI believe you can set up your login to be without password, although I don't know how to do that11:11
valorieand since I have a laptop, I wouldn't do it11:11
valoriebut that's up to you11:11

Koliareally? you find it better with multiple monitors?14:07
BluesKajgnome is ok , but they are having transition to gnome 3 probs due to a lack of attention to the the existing desktop's probs14:07
Koliai've been happy with it but only because of the nvidia tool to handle the screen settings. I found the handling of multiple screens in KDE generally tricky.14:08
Koliabut maybe it changed lately14:08
BluesKajgnome works better with some graphics cards than others , kde seems to work better with nvidia than ati atm14:09
Koliayeah that's what i found, but even with nvidia, the native kde tool for monitor settings didn't work well14:09
Kolia(for me)14:10
bullium_Kolia: well I used the nvidia tool for in gnome...but I decided to try KDE by installing the kde4-destkop package. So maybe some of my nvidia configs bleed over, but I was able to do more with multiple monitors with kcmshell414:10

bhargavaHi can someone help me installing themes in kubuntu19:06
james147bhargava: themes for what?19:06
bhargavaIs there a theme manager where I can just browse for themes and install what I like19:06
bhargavadesktop themes19:06
james147bhargava: easiest way is to: System settings > workspace appearence > Desktop themes > Get new themes19:07
bhargava@james147: there is no workspace appearence option in the system settings, only appearence and there is no desktop themes option in that (Using kubuntu 10.04)19:09
james147bhargava: what version of kubuntu/kde?19:10
bhargava@james147: using kubuntu 10.0419:10
* james147 cant remember what system settings looked like back then.... tis so old now19:11
bhargava@james147: kde version is 4.4.5 Qt: 4.6.219:12
james147bhargava: well ^^ as far as i can remember the dialog is about the same in 4.4, though I have no clue where it is in that version :)19:13
bhargava@james147: Thanks for your time. I'll look for it19:14
james147although, if i recall... it dident work as well in the past, 4.5, and 4.6 had it working much better, you might want to consider upgrading (there are many other bug fixes and they are much more responsive as well)19:14
bhargava@james147: Sure, but for now I'll look around a bit for the option, look if it works and then install the new versions if required. The bugs have not bothered me till now so...19:16
james147its not only bugs, but i found 4.5 much more resposive, and so nicer to use in general19:17
bhargavajames147: Oh is that then I would definitely give it a try19:18
Peace-james147: to me 4.5 nope19:18
Peace-james147: 4.4.2 for me was the best19:19
Peace-speed i mean19:19
james147Peace-: heh, each version just keeps getting faster for me :S19:19
james147Peace-: how much ram do you ahve?19:20
* BluesKaj can't tell the diff , kde 4 has been fast for me perios :)19:20
BluesKajer period19:20
* DarthFrog even liked KDE 4.0. :-)19:20
Peace-james147: 1 gb19:20
Peace-james147: xD yea shame on me19:21
james147:) 1gig should be enough, though i tend to have at leat 2,19:21
james147Peace-: what graphics card?19:22
Peace-hahaha intel 945gm19:22
Peace-shame on me 2 xD19:22
james147:d my net books has that one... or a similar one... cant remember the numebrs, and it runs fine :D19:22
Peace-yea infact it runs fine19:23

james147:D ... thats what you get on alpha though19:23

jsawhi20:35
james147hello jsaw20:36
jsawhi james147 :)20:36
jsawI'm lost once again: I'd like to file a bug report on launchpad about the pager behavior, package is plasma-desktop, but does not seem to exist...????20:36
jsawjames147: thanks for the pointer.  I ended up in #kontact and got some quite useful hints20:37
james147jsaw: why not https://bugs.kde.org/ ?20:37
jsawhmmm, ...20:38
jsawjames147: I'm still used to my work style when I was working on the T2-Project...20:39
james147btw, whats wrong with its behaviour?20:39
jsawjames147: (ppl informed me about problems with the packages I maintained, then, I contacted the devs...)20:40
jsawpager doesn't like '1 row', it displays it correctly as one row, but key bindings (Next/Prev) do not20:41
jsawfor shortcuts it behaves as n rows, where n is the number of virtual desktops...20:42
jsaw(to be more exact, it works when changing the configuration, but after next start this '1 versus n rows' appears)20:43

james147bhargava: on 10.04 its avaible in the backs ports repo (if i remember correctly) "ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports"  (kde 4.5 that is)21:36
james147bhargava: 4.6rc wont be added to 10.04, but is in the beta ppa for 10.1021:36
* james147 suggest upgrading to 10.10 ...21:37
bhargavajames147: I just read somewhere that backports usually have software still in test state.... So does it cause any problems21:37
james147backports has stable programs of a newer major version, beta has prerelease software in it21:38

james147moses: pops up?21:43
mosesyea like on my blank desktop21:43
james147bhargava: you could try assking in #kde21:43
james147moses: if you have plasma-desktop running, then add the entwork managemnt widget to the deskop or panel21:44
Rioting_Pacifistdo word documents support a <hr> or what is the best way to put lines into a text document (i'm using abiword but can switch to libre/etc if required)21:44
mosesi cant21:44
mosesi can only run the programs21:44
moseswhats the widgit program name?21:45
FloridaGuymoses: the wiget is on your panel21:45
mosesi have a different wm running21:46
james147moses: alt+f2: Network managment    i think will launch the widget in a window... though i think it might only work with kde 4.6 or possibally 4.521:46
FloridaGuymine looks like a network cable plug21:46
moseshmm21:46
james147moses: do you have plasma-desktop running?21:46
mosesnope different WM21:46
mosesbut i want to run KDE stuff21:46
james147moses: its not a window manager...21:46
mosesbasically all i have is a black background and a terminal open21:47
FloridaGuyalt f2 brings up run screen or search witch ever it is21:47
james147why are you not running plasma-desktop? and if you dont want to then i suggest using the gnome applet (nm-applet)21:47
=== MuzerAway is now known as Muzer
yofelor knetworkmanager (install network-manager-kde)21:48
yofelbut I think both knm and nm-applet require some kind of panel running (or systray/notification area rather)21:49
moseshmmm21:49
mosesso theres no straight up program?21:50
yofelmoses: you can always use wpa_supplicant from the command line for wireless connections21:50
yofelread the documentation on how to use it21:50

komputesWhere does kmail store its contacts?22:36
Snowhogkomputes: What version of Kubuntu and KDE are you running?22:37
komputesSnowhog: before nepomuk and the database thing. Just looking where in my home dir kmail is looking/storing the contacts22:38
Snowhogkomputes: ~/.local/share/contacts/22:39
komputesSnowhog: cheers22:39
komputesSnowhog: nope, anywhere else you can think of?22:41
komputesi see an akonadi folder in share, don't see a contacts folder in my backup which was before nepomuk tried to update it22:41
komputesbtw, kaddressbook cant see the contacts but kmail can22:42
komputesSnowhog: my backup is from 8.04, where were contacts located back then?22:45
Snowhogkomputes: Open Kmail. Click on Contacts. In the pane that shows the contacts, right-click on the folder and click on folder properties.22:46
komputes~/.strigi/clucene_8o2.cfs is about 34MB this may be it...22:47
komputesok i will so as you say22:47
komputesSnowhog: Click on Contacts <- don't see this, I have to write an email and click "Select..."22:49
komputesSnowhog: opening kaddressbook is buggy - show no contacts at all, but all my contacts can be seen in the "Select..." window22:50
Snowhogkomputes:  $HOME/Mail contains your actual mail messages. $HOME/.kde/share/config/kmailrc and $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/ contain your KMail account and filter information. $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf contains the addressbook entries.22:51
komputesSnowhog: looking, fingers crossed22:51
komputesSnowhog: thanks, I think they have been found. Lifesaver that's what you are!22:54

nicklas_will kde 4.6 hit the kubuntu updates repos or backports when its released in 2 days?23:41
yofelin backports23:43
nicklas_hm ok, then i will probably have to reconfigure alot23:43
nicklas_there are alot of new functions, phew23:43
nicklas_like kwallet will be removed in favor for some other app, dont remember the name23:44
nicklas_ive just gotten it as i want, have to empty my home and reconfigure again, argh23:44
* james147 dident think kwallet was being replaced in 4.6...23:46

Spaztic_Oneshould kubuntu be running a little sluggishly on a 2 ghz dual core with 3 gb of ram?23:49
james147nicklas_: no mention of it in the first one23:49
james147and the second still says in progress, suggesting it wont make it23:49
nicklas_james147: yeah, your probably right23:49
james147^^ also i still seem to ahve kwallet, on the rc223:50
nicklas_james147: ok23:50
yofelSpaztic_One: define 'sluggish' - is it still sluggish without compositing on?23:50
james147although, that means it will probally be ready and polished for 4.7 :D23:50
yofelI have kwallet too 4.6.023:50
* james147 is looking forward to seeing if the new system will be better then kwallet though :D23:51

yofelnicklas_: I'm a packager, so I already have the tars23:51
james147(if i remember correctly)23:52
yofelSpaztic_One: go to systemsettings -> desktop effects and turn them off23:52
Spaztic_Oneyofel: one moment, switching back to kde23:53
nicklas_but composoting shouldnt be sluggish with those specs that he has?23:53
yofeldepends on graphics card / driver in that case23:54
james147^^ could be if the processing is done on the cpu23:54
nicklas_yeah23:54
yofelbut 'sluggissh' is very vagure23:54
