S74rk7I have a problem... I think I need to rebuild KDE and Xorg if possible... in my other user profile (my primary) I updated KDE etc through the backports... and run a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and long story short my profile now starts with 100% CPU usage...and continues to bog itself down until it becomes unresponsive..10:05
S74rk7I have 6 desktops setup...each with various icons and widgets setup... I'm thinking in there could be the problem...10:06
asikomg10:06
S74rk7when I drop to a terminal - and run "top" I can see its Xorg that is using the processor between 40%-70%.. although when it does settle the is other processes that must be using it but are not displayed in my "System Monitor" under the processes tab...10:08
S74rk7so.... my question is... Can I fix this ? or will I just reinstall Kubuntu... I have my home directory setup on another partition... encrypted... will I be able to remount this and use it as normal on a fresh install of Kubuntu 11.04 B1 ??10:09
S74rk7or will I need to big long encryption key that is created when I first boot from a fresh install?10:10
S74rk7asik: lol was omg @ me having 6 desktops and plasmoids on it or at the problem I have now ? Is this bad... :)10:12
well_laid_lawnmore then likely it is the graphics driver not working well with kde10:15
S74rk7well my max resolution is something like 1366x768 or something?10:15
S74rk7and I was having silly issues trying to set a decent resolution through HDMI on a 1080p...10:16
well_laid_lawnit seems some graphics drivers report they do stuff that they don't and that gets kde working X alot10:17
S74rk7I'm aiming at trying to learn all the commands to rebuild xorg... think I've found something here... but I want to run sudo commands from the spare profile I'm in now as it says I'm not a member of the sudoer groups :S10:17
well_laid_lawnsee if there is a newer driver for your vid card10:17
S74rk7the plot thickens :)10:18

LogicallyDashingI was using KDE4.6 from the PPAs, and then after an upgrade, Plasma started crashing every time I logged in, so I downgraded13:38

James147Pipolipo: Then createing an actual program might be better ^^16:17
James147Pipolipo: I would suggest learning python if you do not know any other lanuage ^^ its not too hard to get the hang of and kde has some nice bindings for it16:18
PipolipoYou have an example James147 plz?16:18

MatthaeusIs anyone familiar with the bug in KDE that causes the xorg process to slowly use more and more cpu time?16:31
MatthaeusAnd, more importantly, is there a solution?16:31
MatthaeusI have STFW'd and it seems that there are many proposed solutions but no real answers.16:32
DaskreechMatthaeus: I'm assuming you did normal troubleshooting for X like turning off compositing?16:36
DaskreechMatthaeus: Wait. CPU time?16:36
Daskreechor CPU power?16:36
MatthaeusSo that we have our terminology straight, what do you mean by each?16:37
MatthaeusI'm talking about the cpu % listed in top.16:37
MatthaeusI do have compositing turned on at the moment, as it's not really worth it to me to be using KDE without it.16:38
James147Matthaeus: Its worth turning it off for now ^^ to see if it makes a difference16:40
James147Matthaeus: at least that way you can rule it out or not16:40
MatthaeusTrue.16:41
MatthaeusI had this problem with earlier versions of kde and switched to gnome for about a year.  I may have some cruft left over in my ~ that needs to be cleaned up.16:41
James147Matthaeus: then testing a new user may also be useful16:42
DaskreechMatthaeus: That's not CPU time :) that's CPU power :)16:43
DaskreechMatthaeus: You can turn of compositing by pressing ^ShiftF1216:44
Daskreechwhere ^ means ctrl16:44
BluesKajHowdy folks16:47
DaskreechHi BluesKaj how are you?16:49
MatthaeusDaskreech: I'll give that a shot the next time it starts misbehaving.  Thank you!16:50
DaskreechMatthaeus: Xorg does take a good portion of CPU esp if you have bad drivers and end up on Mesa16:50

iconmefistois ktorrent still the default torrent client?18:02
DarthFrogyes18:03
iconmefistoI'm just upgrading lucid > maverick and saw a message saying ktorrent (and other things) is no longer supported by Canonical. thought maybe it had been replaced by something else18:04
DarthFrogLucid to Maverick?  Natty is due out at the end of this month.18:09
planricham I the only one having trouble with amrok? since the last update amrok keeps crashing after a track finished (only happens sometime)18:09
planrichamarok*18:09
iconmefistoyeah I'm trying to be cautious. I was going to wait for the next lts, but I'm feeling brave enough to move to maverick18:10
DarthFrogplanrich: It works for me.  Doesn't crash.18:10
Maverick_Hello all! Russian whear?18:10
James147planrich: you could try resetting amarok to its default settings ^^ (by moveing ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc and ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/)18:11
DarthFrogiconmefisto: If you're conservative, stay with Lucid.  Other than the new KDE (probably available in Lucid backports), I don't see anything really killer in Maverick.18:11
planrichkk ill try that thx18:11
iconmefistoDarthFrog: which kde is new? is 4.6.2 available in lucid backports?18:13
DarthFrogiconmefisto: I thought it might be but it seems to only have been backported to Maverick.  Sorry about that, chief.18:13
James147DarthFrog: only think one version of kde tends to end up in the backports18:15
DarthFrogJames147: One version of KDE or one version of Kubuntu?18:15
James147kde ^^18:16
James147only the next release tends to end up in the backports...18:16
iconmefistoI'm assuming 4.6.2 is faster/smoother than previous? I notice performance improvements with each new kde upgrade18:17
James147iconmefisto: generally the newer versions of kde improve on preformance18:17
DarthFrogiconmefisto: I can't really say I notice anything different.  It's a bug fix version.18:17
James147and yes, i have noticed an improvment with each over the last... 4.6 included18:18
James147^^ that is in 4.6x over 4.5x ^^18:18
James147not as much in 4.6.1 over 4.6.2 ^^ though bug fixes are welcome :)18:18
DarthFrogBug fixes are always welcome. :-)18:19
iconmefistoremember how everyone freaked out about the changes (and bugginess/missing features) when kde4 was new? seems funny now18:19
tsimpsonand now it's Gnomes turn to get people freaking out18:20
DarthFrogIt certainly influenced the caution of the GNOMEs about their release of GNOME 3.0.18:20
James147iconmefisto: it took a while to rewrite the features ^^ what i find funny is the horror in more people that thourght kde was trying to remove options and features on purpose :)18:20
DarthFrogUrk, no!  That's what GNOME's for.18:21
DarthFrogKDE is for button twiddlers, not for folks who are challenged by the interface of their toaster.18:21

DaskreechMaverick_: ^^^18:38
DaskreechDarthFrog: Gnome is actually being pretty forward for this18:40
DaskreechThey originally were just going to drop some old API and features and GNOME3 was to be a faster GNOME218:40
DaskreechBecause they didn't think they needed much else and for fear of KDE4.018:42
DarthFrogDaskreech: GNOME is on a crusade to reduce its config options to On/Off.18:43
DaskreechThat's nothing new18:43
DaskreechGnomeShell was actually against what they wanted to do. But they have been doing a LOT of marketing for it to avoid the backlash18:44
DaskreechI don't know how much that will help since they are in the same situation. Most of the people who use the software are pure users. They are not developers or part of the community so they will get hit by shock18:45
DaskreechSome people will trust the Gnome team and will stick through whatever they put out once it's explained18:46
DaskreechSome people will just not want anything to change and will raise hell about it18:48
DaskreechBut I'm glad they are taking the path they are though18:50
DaskreechThough I suspect that most distros will have Gnome3 and Gnome2 where most that went KDE 4 just did it and dumped KDE318:52

Exilantif i say "open with" for a file on a samba share, and type in a program, how can i tell kde to not download it first? for example, "dragon %u" does not work, is there some magic?23:12
Exilantit loads large video files without it being necessary, and if i want to open a config file with kate, i edit some local copy instead.  If i select the kate icon in the menu, everything works as intended.23:15
