[17:01] WaltzingAlong: There is a problem with that, it is not working, not all the colors that are supposed to change change. === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [17:02] Technicus: could ask in #kde as well. so which ones then stay the same? not which colors but which elements? [17:02] WaltzingAlong: Text. [17:03] as in you would need to close that window then open it again before the changes take effect? [17:16] I'm getting copyright infringment notices from my provider: I wonder if it's possible that ktorrent can be used as a bridge to help transfer files from point A, over Bridge, to Point B? [17:17] as long as you aren't transferring anything you don't have permission to transfer, it shouldn't matter [17:17] my ktorrent daemon automatically runs, but I never use it [17:18] I wonder if there is a way to inspect the ktorrent's activity history? [17:18] rosco_y, ktorrent has a blocklist option if you care to look at it. [17:18] open it up, it shows what it's transferring [17:18] BluesKaj: thank you, I'll take a look at that [17:19] it could be that your ISP has noticed you're using bittorrent and assumes that you're doing something illegal, ISPs are dumb like that [17:20] ask them to tell you what copyright you are supposedly violating [17:20] This is getting frustrating, today I got my third notice from them [17:20] well, today it was for the "Dexter" TV series [17:21] assuming you aren't sharing that, check if anyone else has access to your connection [17:21] why are u using torrent for filesharing, thats last century-stuff. i use torrents only for distros and cc-licensed stuff, its well known torrent is monitored [17:22] I wish I was more savvy, a good tech might be able to unravel what's going on [17:22] ISPs send notices to the account holder, rather than the person doing the sharing... [17:22] LurkMore: I'm a fan of getting music at Jamendo, and they recommend using bittorrent for their ogg files [17:23] and if you're on wifi, make sure you're using WPA rather than WEP [17:23] I wanted to see if ogg seemed better than mp3, as it is, I never was able to find any of their music in the torrent venue anyways [17:23] LurkMore, so waht do you recommend for us last century users ? :) [17:23] WEP can be broken rather easily [17:23] BluesKaj: as i say, cc-licensed stuff [17:23] stuff? [17:23] thingies [17:24] rosco_y: never made your way to jamendo.com then i take it? can grab the suff in ogg vorbis [17:24] I am using wpa, and I used a website to generate a "maximum security key" === MuzerAway is now known as Muzer [17:24] grc passwords? ok [17:24] WaltzingAlong: I don't understand what you're telling me.... [17:25] rosco_y: you can find some music available in ogg vorbis at jamendo.com/ [17:25] I never noticed "ogg vorbis" [17:25] BluesKaj: get jdownloader, runs pretty well with jre 1.6 and stay with one-click-hosters [17:25] I"m looking for it now... [17:26] well if I own a cd or lp(vinyl) then I have the right in this country to copy it in whatever form I wish ...the law hasn't officially changed here in Canada yet despite the pressure from US senators to adopt their copyright laws [17:26] rosco_y: i saw you mention ogg vs mp3; i expanded ogg to ogg vorbis as you likely mean the audio codec and not just the container [17:27] WaltzingAlong: is ogg better than mp3 then? [17:27] I'm just going to uninstall my ktorrent client--I never use it anyways, but before I do that, I want to try to figure out what's happening [17:27] generally, yes. expect for very low bitrates [17:28] except [17:28] :) [17:28] would have to define what you mean by better. if better = can be opened by vanilla itunes then no [17:28] urgh itunes [17:30] aaarrrggghhh is right--as if I have enough time to do the things that I need to do.... [17:30] Well, thanks everybody, you've been a great help as always! [17:30] until next time! [17:51] Is there gonna be support for iPod playlists in the next AmaroK/Kubuntu?

[17:57] root_: as for what 2.4.1 should contain, guess you could check at amarok.kde.org [17:59] WaltzingAlong: no it doesn't support playlists on th ipod [18:03] easy solution, get rid of ipod [18:05] hi to all i have problem with my kubuntu 10.10 dikstop when i fix rezolution it became correct but when i reboot it gone like a bird and i should to fix it again what i should do now?

[18:46] I some distros I just need to add correct info to the /etc/resolv.conf [18:46] but on kubuntu this does not work [18:46] may I ask where I should put dns server info ? [18:46] please [18:49] /etc/resolv.conf [18:49] DarthFrog: that file doesnt exist\ [18:50] if I create new one I see that dns isnt updated [18:50] it certainly should exist [18:51] it never existed on kubuntu tbh [18:51] it should do [18:52] it's used by pretty much anything that does network access [18:52] ye it should , but it doesnt exist [18:52] it's always existed for me [18:52] I've never had to create it [18:52] maybe u ran some 3rd soft and never configured ur network manuall [18:52] manually [18:52] nope, never [18:53] KNetworkManager even writes to it [18:53] thats the worst program @kubuntu [18:53] it just don't work [18:53] and I see that menu of it changed with each release [18:53] obviously it does, or I wouldn't be talking here [18:54] and it's not Kubuntu specific, it's in KDE [18:54] I'm running on 9.04 [18:54] I'm running 10.04, but resolv.conf is certainly not new [18:54] maybe you know how I could change default gateway with route command for eth0 ? [18:54] I forgot correct line :S [18:55] I could bet for 10 dollars that 'm right [18:55] right about what? [18:56] that resolv.conf isn't available by default on kubuntu [18:56] and [18:56] well you're wrong :) [18:56] it does nothing when you make and fill it with settings [18:56] I've used Kubuntu since 5.10, it's always been there [18:56] I don't use drugs btw [18:56] dhclient usually creates it, at least before NM existed [18:57] it's even used by the C library [18:58] man route tells me that "route add default gw gateway" is how you add a default gateway, add "dev eth0" to limit to eith0 [19:00] How can I disable a gestures in Kubuntu?

[20:52] !konversation [20:52] I always used kopete, but it doesn't support IRC :-( [20:53] Konversation and Quassel are the two primary IRC GUI clients in KDE. [20:53] I used Quassel, don't like it [20:53] !info konversation [20:53] konversation (source: konversation): user friendly Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 1.3.1-1ubuntu3 (maverick), package size 692 kB, installed size 2628 kB [20:53] Maybe I'll stick with pidgin for a while [20:53] * claydoh uses quassel and likes it [20:53] I prefer Konversation to Quassel myself. [20:54] GTK application's don't suck in KDE any more [20:54] An app is an app. GTK or Qt, it doesn't matter. They're tools, not religious choices. :-) [20:54] Indeed [20:55] And I have learned that the hard way [20:55] I used KDE3, then Gnome, now I am back to KDE [20:56] I have few suggestions to you to make it easier to absorb Gnome dictatorship environment refugees like me [20:56] First, the KWallet [20:57] It is really anooying that it asks for a password every time [20:57] And the fact that it pops up a window about 'allow to use me?' every time [20:58] I keep answering yes for all, but it keeps asking [20:59] Can I remove 'Favorite Folders' list from Kmail? [21:01] MaximLevitsky: yes, it is in kmail's settings somewhere [21:01] Appearance >> layout [21:02] I love you KDE [21:02] No, these bastards won't take a single setting from me anymore [21:02] :-) [21:03] and you can turn off kwallet, or change it settings as well. I use the wallet on my laptop as it is readily accessible so iwant my email, logins somewhat protected from snoopy people [21:04] About KWin, it rivals compiz in features, but its keyboard shortcuts are somehow lacking [21:04] Didn't find a way to assign ctrl+alt+mouse1 to show the cube [21:05] It seems not to support that at all [21:07] ctrl+F11 will make cube MaximLevitsky [21:07] I know [21:07] but thats not easy to use [21:08] for easy just set the screen edge [21:08] to make cube [21:09] I did that :-) [21:11] if your going to use mouse and keyboard wouldn't be easier to just use mouse [21:12] or just keyboard [21:12] I used to these settings and all compiz users are [21:13] ok I just use Metacity for desktop effects [21:13] BTW, congratulations for an option to select different WM, in few clicks I could use compiz as well. isn't Democracy wonderful [21:14] not as wonderful as KDE lol [21:14] not even close [21:14] still key+mouse shortcuts should be there, really [21:15] true [21:15] for example in compiz I can do alt+mouse wheel to change transparency of windows [21:17] Compiz does do more than Metacity but allI need is my cube and a few other basic effects and I'm happy [21:18] hi, i can't find the debug package for nepomuk in kubuntu 10.10 with kde 4.6.1? nepomuk crashes everytime i start it, but i don't have the debug packages [21:18] don't need rain drops [21:23] Also I really miss system monitor [21:24] I didn't find any plasma widget that just shows temperature of CPU/GPU... [21:24] There is one but it shows graphs and displays temperature in Fahrenheits. No thanks [21:24] There is one for both of those MaximLevitsky [21:26] Where [21:26] I see the 'Hardware temperature [21:46] hi all, messing around my system I deleted my /tmp, now even if I recreate it with 755 permissions, I cannot even log in... could anybody please help me? [22:00] /tmp should have 1777 permissions. [22:02] The leading "1" (could also use "2" for SGID or "4" for SUID) sets the so-called sticky bit (i.e. the "t" you see when you list permisssions) which means only the owner of the file can delete is. [22:02] it. [22:03] Yep, temperature monitor shows Celsius now, didn't pick regional settings till reboot [22:03] Dashboard is nice btw. [22:04] At least a mac os feature that doesn't suck... [22:04] unlike global menu that ubuntu forces on its users [22:05] MaximLevitsky: did you find system monitor widget [22:06] there is the 'temperature' widget [22:07] It contains quite a lot of redundant stuff, but I put it to the dashboard [22:07] Doesn't support nvidia binary driver too [22:08] don't really need that much, I only keep an eye on temperature when I use nouveau [22:09] ya I watch temp when I make vidio DVDs [22:10] in CLI sensors gives alot of info [22:18] Dolphin need a background [22:18] Really miss that feature from nautilus [22:22] Backgrounds in Dolphin ? I do like split screens though [22:23] Yes, thats a feature that somehow survived in nautilus [22:23] file tranfer the easy way [22:24] Yep, here I don't see that connect to server option, right? [22:28] not sure === mangirdas_ is now known as Mangis === Mangis is now known as Mangirdas === root_ is now known as eamon === bubu is now known as ovcica === ovcica is now known as tamara === tamara is now known as tamaracosic [23:10] hi === saleem is now known as sixofour1234 [23:17] I just instaleld kubuntu 9.10 [10.10 won't work properly] and I would like to remove KDE and use gnome, is there a guide of sorts on how to do this or may someone assist me in it? [23:17] had to use kubuntu 9.10 [older cd i had] because ubuntu 10.10 won't work [23:19] i believe installing the package "ubuntu-desktop" will install alongise it everything needed to run a GNOME desktop [23:19] !package ubuntu-desktop [23:20] after installing ubuntu-desktop: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnomekarmic [23:20] apt-getting ubuntu-desktop now [23:20] k thanks [23:21] just leave out the "&& sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" in the command they give, as that would be redundant :P [23:21] :P [23:22] eh, this kinda sucks, they give you a big command to paste into terminal, but you cannot select all of it [23:22] to copypaste it [23:22] sixofour1234: you'll be sorry!!!! :-) [23:23] I used gnome for about 2 years [23:23] nah, i had kde for awhile, i prefer gnome [23:23] Their feature removal attitude finally got me === iflema is now known as Guest35271 [23:23] my biggest gripe is the file browser [23:24] it was pretty bad when i used it before [in 9.10] [23:24] sixofour1234: http://pastebin.com/jZ6kz3L7 [23:24] To be honest nautilus isn't much better [23:24] That was the last straw: http://lwn.net/Articles/433409/ === Guest35271 is now known as iflema [23:24] axlin so i run this command - the ubuntu-desktop install..then reboot? [23:24] to be honest, both dolphin and nautilus are kinda aweful... :P [23:24] yep sixofour1234 [23:25] They think we are clowns or something [23:25] i kinda like dolphin... but this is in comparison to nautilus, thunar, and os x's finder :P [23:27] none are good to be honest [23:28] everyone knows the best is explorerer [23:28] explorer* [23:28] nah, it gets on my nerves as well [23:28] good old KDE3.5 konqueror was very good... the kpart responsible for file browsing, while majorly improved in latest 4.6... still feels weird [23:29] konqueror was good [23:29] wow its still installing ubuntu-desktop [23:29] says i got 4 minutes left [23:29] must be big [23:29] cd and ls are my file browser nowadays... [23:29] But I decided that I rather suffer a minor problem there or there rather that see all settings disapper [23:29] Just try Unity and you will know what I mean [23:30] heard lots about unity... might install gnome after natty is release just to see what all this hype is [23:30] i'm not that hardcore of a user really, so its no big deal for me, i think alot of the changes to gnome have to do with idiot proofing, while users who are advanced find it annoying [23:31] nope, to idiot proof the linux, one needs first to fix bugs and create simple applications for tasks [23:31] like take simple-scan for instance, thats is really good step forward [23:31] also, kde seems to run slower than gnome for me every time i tried it [23:31] like jsut now clicking the links posted in chat, took a few seconds to open [23:32] with konquruer [23:32] sixofour1234: that is kwin fault [23:32] and i had to triple click, which is weird [23:32] kwin here is order of magnitude slower that compiz [23:32] well... yes, it's no secret, KDE requires more from a computer than gnome [23:32] and my computer isn't rich [23:32] :P [23:32] But **drum roll*** you can easily use compiz in KDE [23:33] You even now have an drop down menu which WM to use [23:33] i don't need to see my desktop turned into an icecube that actually melts any time soon [23:33] And look at Unity [23:34] what is unity? [23:34] A new interface like plasma for gnome [23:34] oh [23:34] it replaces toolbar and desktop [23:34] is it any good? [23:35] guees what it has zero 1-1, 5^0-1 settings [23:35] as far as visuals are concerned i rarely do more than change colors and fonts [23:35] you lost me MaximLevitsky [23:35] lol [23:35] forget any applets [23:35] meet the forced mac-style global menu [23:36] you can't even launch 2 copies of same application [23:36] yeah i read about that [23:36] but i don't think it prevents you from doing it, maybe it jsut makes it more inconvienent? [23:36] its launch menu is full screen and you need a hour to find anything there [23:37] lol [23:37] And all of this is _by design_ [23:37] And it mandates compiz, but doesn't let you use the cube! [23:37] its like raping it... [23:38] Gnome shell is more or less the same beast [23:38] that's what i normally use [23:38] And it acts as a composing manager, so there you can't run compiz at all [23:39] needs 3d too, but draws none of it [23:39] well, how about don't run compiz :D all my problems solved [23:39] just read this http://lwn.net/Articles/433409/ [23:39] i had it before but its pretty novelty to me [23:40] well [23:40] if i could open the link i will [23:40] well, with gnome-shell you get all the compiz problems (slow, uses resources, etc) but none of its nice features [23:41] and its forced on you, and zero settings [23:41] I mean this time gnome really stepped the line [23:41] I like Gnome 2 as it is, but thats is just too far [23:42] In gnome 3, they even hid the shutdown button [23:42] I mean to shutdown, you will need to press alt, then open a menu and select shutdown [23:42] hi all [23:43] ive a problem with the volano java chat.... [23:43] if i open the chat i cant close the java windows [23:44] can someone help me [23:45] using ff 3.6/4.0, jre6.20/6.24 but nothing works [23:45] michi911: well, bugs, bugs, bugs [23:48] well MaximLevitsky most of the things mentioned in that article are fairly shitty, but we'll just see how gnome works now, if its too bad for me i can try kde again, it really boils down to which i can get to run faster [23:49] sixofour1234: currenly gnome is quite good [23:50] only problems i had really [23:50] was keymappings [23:50] my laptop had a broken enter button, so i had to remap enter to rshift [23:50] it was a pain in the butt [23:50] i had to make a script that loads on linux boot [23:50] a very rigged way of doing it [23:51] also pressing the "disable mouse" button on the laptop right above the mouse tracker, caused gnome to freeze requiring a reboot [23:51] There is one good saying: Make it simple but not too simple [23:51] i eventually ripped that button out because i kept hitting it [23:52] Currently gnome contains the minimum of settings. Its possible to adjust to it, but not that easy [23:53] Gnome 3 is well below the minumum, its just unusable [23:57] WOW, kwin4 unlike compiz actually doesn't allow a window to span 2 desktops [23:57] I absolutely hate that compiz feature [23:59] but it's cool to play a video on the border of the cube :D
