Ash_Hi everybody... I need some help03:13
Ash_I am running kubuntu and the volume is way too low03:13

PriestoneДоброе время суток03:21
mase_wkAsh_: one of the channels will be low if you have sound but it's just lower. Alsamixer will give a quick overview of all the channels03:22
Ash_I know but I checked alsamixer in terminal and both are the highest it could be03:22

delachow to change right click behaviour in Desktop Grid?11:29

kaiyin_ikonia: Okay, what are the usual reason that some people want to compile their own kernel?11:31
kaiyin_reasons.11:31
ikoniakaiyin_: depends on their reasons, sizing on disk, custom patches, specific features enabled that are not in their kernel etc11:33

James147MK``: more packages ^^ unless you need to install kubuntu on a computer without an internet connection I suggest just using the cd16:02
James147anything in the dvd can just be downloaded from the internet after installation16:02
MK``Yeah. Is it KDE4 SC?16:03
James147MK``: ^^ kde is included in all version of kubuntu...16:07
MK``Ah ok, sorry I am new to this all16:08
NathanaelGwll, MK`` Kubuntu is the kde brand of ubuntu16:08
NathanaelGMK``: i think it is kde 4.5.4 in 10.10, unless you have backports repository like me, using 4.6.216:09
NathanaelGalthough 4.5.4 is delivered by an online update, on cd is probably an earlier version16:10
James147^^ as far as I know there is very little difference in installing from a dvd and installing from the cd... just that the dvd have more languages to choose from and that after installtion you can install more software from the dvd (which are avaible in a more uptodate form on the internet anyway)16:10
MK``Ah, so it is just that and more programs listed in KPackageKit but not in the default installation?16:11

mr-richHello. When I see a .wav file in Dolphin, it gives me a "Play" button ... but it doesn't seem to work. Is there some place I can configure that?17:30
James147mr-rich: you ahve the codecs installed? (you can install them by installing kubuntu-restricted-extras)17:31
mr-richJames147: Installed ... still doesn't work ... I'm clicking on the "Play" button in the preview area of Dolphin ...17:35
mr-richJames147: do I need to reboot or restart X?17:36
James147mr-rich: do the tracks work in amarok? does the progress bar move at all?17:36
James147probally dolphin17:36
James147but not the system17:37
mr-richJames147: Progress bar doesn't move ... changes breifly to a black square from the right pointing arrow ...17:37
James147well, that probally indicated that it cannot play, rather then just producing no sound :)17:38
James147did you restart dolphin after installing?17:38
mr-richI'm saving phone messages to .wav files and it would be great to play them right out of Dolphin instead of firing up Xine for each one ...17:38
mr-richJames147: close all Dolphin windows?17:39
James147y17:39
mr-richClosed all Dolphing windows ... still no play ...17:40
mr-richDoes Amarok need to be running?17:40
James147no17:40
mr-richdidn't think so ... I can play them from CLI w/play ...17:41
James147do they play in amaok?17:41
mr-richplays in amarok fine ...17:43
James147hmm, do other format file play in dolphin?17:44
mr-richpics preview fine ...(jpeg, png, etc)17:45
James147mr-rich: what about other audio files?17:47
mr-richJames147: I'm playing .wavs from /usr/share/sounds, but only the firs 1/2 second of the file plays and then stops ...17:48
dac_?join ##ubuntu17:49
mr-richdac_: try "/join"17:50
James147mr-rich: hmm, they seems to be doing the same here :(17:50
mr-richJames147: some wavs will play through, others won't ...17:50
dac_ok17:50
mr-rich.oggs play through ...17:51
James147mr-rich: yeah, all other formates play just .wavs ... :S17:51
mr-richJames147: well, this sucks ... :(17:51
James147probally a bug in dolphin :( I would suggest filing one if there isnt already one17:51
James147mr-rich: as a work around you cn play them in amarok (amarok is able to browes files) ^^or convert them to a different format (soundKonverter is good for that)17:52
* James147 suggest ogg or flac for the second option :)17:53
mr-richJames147: Doesn't make things "simple" ... w/Amarok, I have to create a playlist ...17:54
mr-richJames147: I would like to just save them and play them ...17:54
James147mr-rich: you dont really need to create a playlist ^^ just add them to the current tracks list17:55
James147mr-rich: ^^ you can drag a directoy from the file browser into amarok and then click on the ones you want to play ^^ not exactly hard17:56
James147mr-rich: but as I said its a workaround, and they are never ideal :(17:57
James147mr-rich: as for a fix you need to file a bugreport and/or fix the bug yourself17:58
mr-richJames147: is there a Dolphin specific bug tracker?17:58
James147https://bugs.kde.org/17:59

metRo_The keyboard doesn't work after my laptop goes to sleep :s19:02
mjobinhi there ! got a weird problem... after a software update, I lost my wallet and plasma-desktop + kdm got erase ??? as recommended by someone here, I did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to make sure I have everything. my wallet did not come back, unfortunately. And surprise today,... my kopete accounts are all gone?19:06
chuckfRiddell: So with you stepping down from leading the next cycle on Kubuntu, who will be running the show?19:06
delacany way to make desktop grid less resource hungry?19:09
shadeslayerdelac: turn it off?19:10
delacshadeslayer: I was hoping to make it little bit smoother.19:11
mr-richJames147: Work around #2: I associated .wav files with /usr/bin/play ... now I can double click and play the file ...19:21
James147hmm19:22
Daskreechdelac: It's more intensive than other shells?19:22
DaskreechHmm19:22
DaskreechI mean desktops19:22
mr-richand it plays in the background ...19:22
DaskreechKDE Is pretty confusing with names some time :)19:22
mr-richJames147: I think it may be an overall KDE problem ... some KDE applications cut off wav files, too ... one of the test wav files I used is the success sound for K3B. When K3B finishes, only the first 1/2 second of the wav file plays ...19:31
mr-richI thought sourceforge had a source code browser ...19:35
delacDaskreech: yes, it seems to require more. The animations are jerkier than with compiz. Although Xrender seems to help a bit, but not all plugins seem to be supported yet.19:39
Daskreechmr-rich: somewhat19:39
Daskreechdelac: oh wait this is kwin not plasma?19:39
delacDaskreech: yes, I would think that it's kwin that handles the Desktop Grid effect.19:40
DaskreechAh that effect ok Thought you meant the Desktop style of grid :)19:42
Daskreechyea that's #kwin19:42
GuestTHHi there. Does anybody know, what can make such effects, which stays from version to version of kubuntu on my desktop? http://xmages.net/show.php/2680086_snap-png.html Thank you for any help19:45

rasoroeuhello21:23
Daskreechmjobin: Malformed config?21:24
Daskreechrasoroeu: hi21:25
mjobinDaskreech: would an upgrade to 4.6.2 cause that ?21:25
mjobinthis week, i lost my wallet and my kopete config..... that's very annoying21:26
Daskreechmjobin: Possibly but it would be unusual21:26
Daskreechmjobin: as an aside I highly advise backing up your ~/.kde before upgrading KDE21:26
mjobini use KDE since 1.1 and such a config lost never happened21:26
Daskreech at best it's a 1 min delay21:27
Daskreechat worst if you upgraded and didn't like something/broke something really bad you can jump back to the old version21:27
Daskreecheven if the new version updated your config files to somethign imcompatible with the old ones21:27
delacdoes anyone know if the Notebook workspace type has any additional power saving properties or are the differences to Desktop type only superficial?22:40
KTannerhey all22:45
Daskreechdelac: it runs less stuff22:46
Daskreechhi22:46
delacDaskreech: what stuff exactly? desktop effects?22:48
KTannerwhat's the topic atm?22:48
DaskreechKTanner: type /topic22:50
Daskreechdelac: integration of kwin among other things you can ask in #plasma22:51
KTannerwell okay, what i meant is what are you and delac talking about? haha22:51
DaskreechKTanner: if the netbook workspace uses less power than the Desktop22:53
Daskreechdelac: I think that a lot of the lessons in desktop effects get pushed back to the Desktop profile in most cases so pure kwin stuff tries to be power friendly as it can22:54
KTannerI would think so, so long as the "Air for Netbooks" theme is set and/or another less power consuming theme. Or the effects are turned off. Otherwise I think that it would take a little more power due to the larger default panel on top+desktop effects22:55
delacdo you know if it reduces some other things like number of indexing daemons or other background workers?22:57
delacor is it just theme related things?22:57
KTannerdelac: no I don't believe it does. The Netbook workspace is just made for if you have a tiny screen, but it has no effect on background daemons and whatnot. Unless of course, if you have more plasma widgets running22:58
Daskreechdelac: flip those off if you like doesn't have anything to do with the interface22:59
Daskreechwell I mean it has somethings to do with it but if you dn't care about that stuff just turn it off23:00
delacis the impact of default panels and kwin effects much larger than Netbooks?23:01
KTannerjust be careful of turning off certain services like powerdevil and other (usually) essential services23:01
KTannerI don't think the impact is much different really. It all depends on how many plasma widgets you have running. Same with Mac OS X. Each plasma widget takes a little bit of memory and a little bit of cpu23:07
delacwell, I'm going to run powertop for a while and see if I can make anything out of that. thanks!23:14
KTannerNo problem :)23:17
KTannerOkay so, I actually have a problem too. It's stupid but, when I export a .CSV file from Windows Live (web version) and try to import it into Kaddressbook, it shows a list of random chunks of HTML code. Ideas?23:18
KTannerwait.. I opened it in libreoffice calc and it shows parts of the actual website... no contacts... so windows live.com failed23:20
jcgsKTanner: CSV is a text data file, so it shouldn't have any html in it :S23:21
KTannerWhich is why I'm confused :S The import .csv dialog showed things like DOCTYPE and HTML plus a lot of other chunks of html and libreoffice loaded it as if it were a part of the website without any contacts23:22
KTannerI used Firefox 4 to download the file and this time it worked... I don't know why it didn't work in reqonk O.o23:26
KTannerhuh it's kinda annoying that the importer doesn't give the option for First name middle name and last name23:27
katsrchey is the non full time contributor Kubuntu permanent or just for the next release?23:32
KTannerkatsrc: Um, I'm not entirely sure.. what exactly do you mean? Like, coding?23:36
katsrcKTanner: talking about riddell's latest blog post: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/441423:37
KTannerkatsrc: I think he just won't be around for the updates and bug fixes in this release23:39
katsrcKTanner: ah, ok. thanks.23:39
KTannerNo problem23:40
