| shady__ | guys where can i find my config files? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| shady__ | i wanna delete them to restart kde | 00:12 |
| james147 | shady__you user config files are in your home directory (they are hidden, and begin with a . ) | 00:12 |
| james147 | shady__: "mv ~/.kde ~/kdebackup" << run that in a terminal and it will move them to kdebackup (so you can restore them if you need to | 00:13 |
| shady__ | ty | 00:13 |
| shady__ | james147 how to unhide the files? | 00:18 |
| james147 | shady__: alt+. in dolphin, "ls -a" in a terminal... | 00:19 |
| shady__ | james147: thanx man | 00:21 |

| katsrc | hey | 00:23 |
| katsrc | are there any DPI issues in Firefox for Kubuntu 10.10? | 00:23 |
| Mase_wk | katsrc: what kind of issues ? | 00:25 |
| Mase_wk | currently using firefox in 10.10 and it works fine for me | 00:25 |
| katsrc | Mase_wk: i'm getting really tiny fonts on Firefox than on KDE desktop | 00:28 |
| scan | is it intended that I cannot access my Wastebin in kde? | 00:28 |
| james147 | scan: no | 00:28 |
| scan | interesting | 00:29 |
| scan | only says "malformed url: trash:/" no matter which way I try to get to it | 00:30 |
| Mase_wk | katsrc: probably not a dpi issue, think you will find it's GTK font sizes. If you use the GTK-qt engine you can get it to use the same fonts as KDE | 00:31 |
| Mase_wk | or you can set it manually. | 00:31 |
| katsrc | Mase_wk: thanks for the tip, i'll give it a try | 00:32 |
| Mase_wk | np | 00:32 |
| katsrc | strange why kmozillahelper isn't installed by default on Kubuntu. | 00:33 |
| james147 | katsrc: probally because firefox isnt installed by default ^^ | 00:34 |
| katsrc | Mase_wk: it was using gtk-qt engine, it was a dpi settings in about:config for Firefox, it was set to -1 | 00:35 |
| katsrc | i had to set it to 0, now it works | 00:35 |
| Mase_wk | ok cool. | 00:35 |
| katsrc | james147: there's a specially installer script for Firefox, it should install it. | 00:35 |
| james147 | if you installed it form the menus then yes.. | 00:35 |
| james147 | ... or at lease some kde-firefox intergration :p | 00:36 |
| katsrc | it's a good feature for Kubuntu | 00:37 |

| zetheroo | is this the right place to ask about the netbook edition? | 01:57 |
| zetheroo | I installed an application and need to edit the command of the shortcut ... how do I do this? | 01:58 |
| ladynikon_ | zetheroo: right click on the shortcut and select properties | 02:03 |
| zetheroo | ladynikon_: there is no such option | 02:06 |
| ladynikon_ | is this an icon? | 02:06 |
| zetheroo | ladynikon_: yep ... | 02:07 |
| ladynikon_ | odd | 02:07 |
| zetheroo | ladynikon_: the closest thing I get in the right-click menu is "Configure Search and Launch" | 02:07 |
| ladynikon_ | when i right click on my icons | 02:07 |
| zetheroo | ladynikon_: are you using Netbook Edition? | 02:07 |
| ladynikon_ | ah | 02:08 |
| ladynikon_ | maybe thats the problem. i am using the full edition. I am sorry. | 02:08 |
| ladynikon_ | :( | 02:08 |
| zetheroo | yeah ;) | 02:08 |
| zetheroo | it's a real pain :P | 02:09 |
| ladynikon_ | :S | 02:09 |
| ladynikon_ | zetheroo: maybe try in #ubuntu and see if anything knows anything | 02:09 |
| ladynikon_ | unless tere is a ubuntu-netbook channel that i dont know about | 02:09 |
| zetheroo | they will throw me out | 02:09 |
| zetheroo | ha | 02:10 |
| ladynikon_ | ah | 02:10 |
| ladynikon_ | i guess i am full of uselessness tonight | 02:10 |
| maco | zetheroo: what are you trying to change? | 02:10 |
| maco | ladynikon_: is this the ladynikon i know? | 02:10 |
| ladynikon_ | maco: indeed | 02:11 |
| maco | hiya | 02:11 |
| ladynikon_ | :) hi | 02:11 |
| zetheroo | maco: the command associated with the shortcut | 02:11 |
| ladynikon_ | maco: there can be only one. | 02:11 |
| maco | ubuntu-netbook and kubuntu-netbook are different. nowadays, kubuntu-netbook doesnt exist. its just that plasma-desktop or plasma-netbook are autoloaded depending on resolution | 02:11 |
| zetheroo | maco: ok ... but that's not helping much :P | 02:13 |
| maco | zetheroo: now you make me wonder whether the menu is *still* hardcoded... | 02:13 |
| maco | i know it was hardcoded at a time | 02:13 |
| maco | i hope it's changed... | 02:13 |
| zetheroo | maco: so your saying it may not be possible to change the command for a shortcut? | 02:14 |
| Daskreech | maco: can you swap to netbook and see? | 02:14 |
| maco | Daskreech: i'm on netbook.... | 02:14 |
| Daskreech | oh | 02:14 |
| Daskreech | :) | 02:14 |
| maco | zetheroo: the bit about ubuntu-vs-kubuntu was for ladynikon_ ;-) | 02:14 |
| maco | Daskreech: itd be more of "pull the source code and see" | 02:15 |
| zetheroo | oh I see | 02:15 |
| maco | but the hardcoding... it couldnt possibly have included every .desktop file | 02:15 |
| zetheroo | why could it not be as simple as right-click ... doh | 02:15 |
| Daskreech | that's what I'm thinking | 02:15 |
| ladynikon_ | maco: your not in offtopic :( | 02:15 |
| maco | ladynikon_: #kubuntu-offtopic? | 02:15 |
| ladynikon_ | yar. | 02:16 |
| Daskreech | zetheroo: Might be worth a quick trip to #plasma ? | 02:16 |
| zetheroo | true | 02:16 |
| ladynikon_ | i dont want to get in trouble for OT talking in here | 02:16 |
| maco | oh i have an idea | 02:17 |
| maco | make a .desktop file | 02:17 |
| maco | and change .kde/share/config/plasma-netbook-appletsrc to point to your new desktop file? | 02:17 |
| maco | kludge :( | 02:18 |
| zetheroo | argh | 02:18 |
| maco | ladynikon_: because im in #ubuntu-offtopic, and it's sexist enough that i dont need yet another OT channel :P | 02:18 |
| ladynikon_ | ok ill talk to you thre | 02:18 |
| ladynikon_ | in fact im leaving here | 02:19 |
| zetheroo | very quiet in #plasma | 02:26 |
| Daskreech | maco: what's the lure to hang out there then? | 02:35 |
| maco | Daskreech: i have friends in there. and i'm an op now, so i can whack people who get too bad. usually after a few days they learn what's not ok and calm down | 02:36 |
| maco | the last week has been amazing flood of new people who need to be sassed into behaving | 02:36 |

| epicenter | Howdy :) I was curious if someone could help me with something. I am trying to install Win7 but have no drives to do it (USB is out of the question). I have an ISO on my hard disk; how do I configure Grub to add the ISO to the boot selection list? Thank you! :) | 05:07 |
| valorie | epicenter: you can't add an ISO to grub | 05:10 |
| valorie | you need to install win7 somewhere, and then point grub to that install | 05:10 |

| ieatkawfish | Hello all. I can see my itouch in amarok, but it claims (incorrectly) that there are 0 tracks. How can I fix this? | 05:12 |
| valorie | you can query ubottu if any of those sound interesting | 05:12 |
| valorie | ieatkawfish: what KDE version? | 05:13 |
| ieatkawfish | valorie: 4.5.1 | 05:13 |
| valorie | hmmm | 05:13 |
| ieatkawfish | valorie: with amarok 2.32 | 05:13 |
| ieatkawfish | *.2 | 05:14 |
| valorie | this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Amarok | 05:14 |
| valorie | although in general, you just have to wait until Amarok finally gets it read | 05:14 |
| ieatkawfish | valorie: says it got fix in kde 4.6 so now waiting needed... except for the time it takes to upgrade. Thanks for the link! | 05:17 |

| BluesKaj | mndo, ask in #ubuntu+1, and this is kubuntu not ubuntu | 14:46 |
| mndo | BluesKaj, thank, i did forget about #ubuntu+1 | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | mndo, it's alpha after all , kde.org might be showing maverick , not natty | 14:48 |
| mndo | not that matter but the iso i tried was from kubuntu :) | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | well, i do prefer kde to the other desktops due to all the probs with gnome and unity etc lately | 14:49 |
| mndo | BluesKaj, i am using maverick (using the kubuntu ppa) and i have the same problem | 14:49 |

| BluesKaj | roland, which kubuntu version are you running ? | 15:32 |

| roland | the restricted extras | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | it did on my 64bit maverick pc | 15:34 |
| roland | this is my work computer, trying to keep onlt absolutely necessary stuff | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | you should have as soon as the install was completed , it's not included by default due to legalities , so a seperate install is required | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | wel, you're gonna need java sooner or later too, so kubuntu-restricted-extras is a must | 15:37 |

| BluesKaj | StFS, no, open a terminal and do, sudo do-release-upgrade -d , that command will upgrade your maverick OS to natty | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | or do what genii-around posted, StFS | 15:56 |

| rork | you're not in the right directory, type `cd katapult-0.3.2.1` then use `ls -l` again to see whether configure is in that directory | 18:47 |
| nate___ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/578947/ | 18:49 |
| nate___ | I see that configure is in there | 18:50 |
| rork | that looks good indeed, 8th row so now you can do `./configure` | 18:50 |
| nate___ | working!!! | 18:51 |
| rork | but why are you trying to build Katapult? It looks to me it's some kind of KDE 3 think and I'm not sure it works well in the current kubuntu's | 18:51 |
| nate___ | checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! | 18:53 |
| nate___ | oh I just heard it's a good program | 18:53 |
| nate___ | oh well maybe I won't run it but thanks for your help | 18:54 |
| rork | you may try ofc, it's a free world and I was just wondering | 18:55 |
| nate___ | what is a good program to install in kubuntu 9.10? | 18:55 |
| genii-around | To do what with? | 18:56 |
| nate___ | cause mayhem jk | 18:56 |
| Peace- | nate___: http://nowardev.wordpress.com/usefull-link-for-kubuntu-and-multimedia-stuff/what-you-would-want-to-do-on-startup-multimedia-side/ | 18:57 |
| rork | typically when you're compiling you'll get a number of errors and have to install packages. e.g. libqt3-headers sounds like the right package for you now | 18:57 |
| nate___ | well I'm trying to get the 3D box to work on compiz fusion but it's only half working | 18:57 |
| nate___ | thanks peace | 18:57 |
| rork | typically what I install are graphics drivers, Yakuake (a terminal client), Akregator (a rss/atom reader), Kaffeine (multimedia player),Amarok (music player) and the medibuntu repository (codecs and dvd) | 18:59 |
| rork | got to go, have fun using kubuntu and good luck if you have to compile something | 19:02 |
| nate___ | thanks rok | 19:02 |
| liddell | Hi! | 19:34 |
| liddell | I'm having this bug I run into all the time where I reboot after a crash and my network displays as "Unmanaged" after that. In trying to fix it I seem to have deleted my nm-system-settings.conf file. Is there a command to recreate it, or would one of you helpful people post the contents of yours so I can manually transcribe it? Thanks! | 19:36 |
| Peace- | liddell: i guess try reinstalling the package | 19:43 |

| munzir | Hi, It seems I had bad sectors on the hard drive and when I try to copy data, system crashes, what are my options now? | 20:52 |
| === adml is now known as kristof | ||
| DarthFrog | munzir: I'd suggest you backup your personal data then replace your hard drive. | 20:55 |
| DarthFrog | munzir: An unreliable piece of hardware is best used as a boat anchor. | 20:55 |
| somekool | hi there ! anyone else with broken knetwork manager? I can't connect to my wireless | 20:56 |
| somekool | no mattter what | 20:56 |
| munzir | DarthFrog: the problem is I don't know how to back it up. cp and rsync won't work. i need a way to copy the good sectors and skip bad sectors | 20:59 |
| DarthFrog | Are you trying to copy or rsync to the same failing drive? | 21:02 |
| munzir | DarthFrog: of course no. I am trying to copy to another healthy drive | 21:04 |
| DarthFrog | What happens when you try to rsync? | 21:06 |
| munzir | DarthFrog: let's say I did rsync -av /baddrive /healthyhd, either the command just waits like this for ever without copying any thing or after some time the whole system crash with lots of strange errors | 21:09 |
| DarthFrog | Which drive is your boot drive? | 21:09 |
| DarthFrog | And what partition is your /home on the bad drive? | 21:10 |
| munzir | DarthFrog: I am booting from sda5 I think which has no problem but my home partition which is sda6 is the culprit so I cannot copy hda6 contents | 21:11 |
| DarthFrog | Try this: Boot from a Live CD. then: "sudo -i" "mkdir /mnt/disk && mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/disk && cd /mnt/disk" "dd if=/dev/sda6 of=home.iso" | 21:21 |
| DarthFrog | And use a partition on a healthy hard drive, other than sda, if you can. | 21:21 |
| DarthFrog | If that works, that'll give you an ISO image of your /home partition in /. You could then try mounting that ISO image and see if you can read the files there. | 21:23 |
| DarthFrog | But if sda6 has bad sectors, then the drive is on its way to total failure. | 21:24 |
