[11:31] reasons. [11:33] kaiyin_: depends on their reasons, sizing on disk, custom patches, specific features enabled that are not in their kernel etc [11:33] kaiyin_: depends on the people and the distro they are using the reasons for change,s [11:34] ikonia: alright, thank you, you saved me a lot trouble. :) [11:37] kaiyin_: that's the plan :) [11:41] also, how can I get rid of the [+|-] in the Desktop Grid? === mren|off is now known as mren [13:23] i can't mount an internal disk on dolphin without it asking for password. and i have policykit-desktop-privileges installed [13:39] InvaderZim: guess you have messed up something of groups [13:39] and or installation bad kubuntu [13:39] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-default-settings [13:39] i really haven't messed with it [13:39] uhm lets see [13:40] this kubuntu here has been upgraded since 7.10 i think [13:40] Peace-: already the newest version [13:40] sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-default-settings [13:41] Peace-: and then what?

[15:55] ^^ best to ask about natty at #ubuntu+1 [15:55] bottiger: since it's beta release you probably need to be in the natty chan whatever that is [15:56] policyq: and what is the name of that channel?

[16:01] It says language packs and the alternate installed, but I have a feeling that isn't all of it. [16:01] installer* [16:02] MK``: more packages ^^ unless you need to install kubuntu on a computer without an internet connection I suggest just using the cd [16:02] anything in the dvd can just be downloaded from the internet after installation [16:03] Yeah. Is it KDE4 SC? [16:07] MK``: ^^ kde is included in all version of kubuntu... [16:08] Ah ok, sorry I am new to this all [16:08] wll, MK`` Kubuntu is the kde brand of ubuntu [16:09] MK``: i think it is kde 4.5.4 in 10.10, unless you have backports repository like me, using 4.6.2 [16:10] although 4.5.4 is delivered by an online update, on cd is probably an earlier version [16:10] ^^ 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) [16:11] Ah, so it is just that and more programs listed in KPackageKit but not in the default installation? [16:11] MK``: but only if you are installing them from the dvd ^^ which you really shouldnt unless you dont have a internet connection === JasonO_ is now known as JasonO [16:12] Alright, thanks [16:25] Hey people, what monitor to choose for kubuntu 11.04 [16:25] http://www.lg.com/ru/computer-products/computer-monitors/LG-IPS236V.jsp [16:25] http://www.lg.com/uk/it-products/monitors/LG-led-monitor-E2360V.jsp [16:25] help [16:25] nebula: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:38] well, that probally indicated that it cannot play, rather then just producing no sound :) [17:38] did you restart dolphin after installing? [17:38] I'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 ... [17:39] James147: close all Dolphin windows?

[17:51] mr-rich: yeah, all other formates play just .wavs ... :S [17:51] James147: well, this sucks ... :( [17:51] probally a bug in dolphin :( I would suggest filing one if there isnt already one [17:52] mr-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) [17:53] * James147 suggest ogg or flac for the second option :) [17:54] James147: Doesn't make things "simple" ... w/Amarok, I have to create a playlist ... [17:54] James147: I would like to just save them and play them ... [17:55] mr-rich: you dont really need to create a playlist ^^ just add them to the current tracks list [17:56] mr-rich: ^^ you can drag a directoy from the file browser into amarok and then click on the ones you want to play ^^ not exactly hard [17:57] mr-rich: but as I said its a workaround, and they are never ideal :( [17:58] mr-rich: as for a fix you need to file a bugreport and/or fix the bug yourself [17:58] James147: is there a Dolphin specific bug tracker? [17:59] https://bugs.kde.org/ [18:17] What's the recommended pacakage to be used for installing GLib 2.12.0 or higher? [18:26] sre-su: what version of kubuntu? [18:36] hallo [18:37] ist ubuntu nartx narwal gut it unity [18:46] mirco: Sure apt-get install it [18:46] sre-su: hi Did yo usee James147's question? [18:46] huh? [18:46] Nope [18:47] Ah! bad connection again [18:48] libglib2.0-0 ^^ seems to contain version 2.26.0 from what i can tell [18:49] * James147 would be suprised if it wasnt alreay installed [18:49] already ^^ [18:51] ah-ok Thanks [18:53] James147: Well, its installed. I get this error - configure: error: You must have GLib 2.12.0 or newer development headers installed to build. Hence I asked for it [18:54] when trying to comile pidgin [18:54] sre-su: why not use the one in the repos? [18:54] Because its altered [18:55] * James147 notes that you probally need the -dev version if you want to compile stuff agienst it [18:55] Well, it requires GLib 2.12.0 [18:56] sre-su: install libglib2.0-dev [18:56] yeah, installing [19:01] hi [19:02] The keyboard doesn't work after my laptop goes to sleep :s [19:06] hi 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] Riddell: So with you stepping down from leading the next cycle on Kubuntu, who will be running the show? [19:09] any way to make desktop grid less resource hungry? [19:10] delac: turn it off? [19:11] shadeslayer: I was hoping to make it little bit smoother. [19:21] James147: Work around #2: I associated .wav files with /usr/bin/play ... now I can double click and play the file ... [19:22] hmm [19:22] delac: It's more intensive than other shells? [19:22] Hmm [19:22] I mean desktops [19:22] and it plays in the background ... [19:22] KDE Is pretty confusing with names some time :) [19:31] James147: 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 ... [19:35] I thought sourceforge had a source code browser ... [19:39] Daskreech: 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] mr-rich: somewhat [19:39] delac: oh wait this is kwin not plasma? [19:40] Daskreech: yes, I would think that it's kwin that handles the Desktop Grid effect. [19:42] Ah that effect ok Thought you meant the Desktop style of grid :) [19:42] yea that's #kwin [19:45] Hi 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 help [20:22] hello. how would I enter rooms? [20:24] tzahi: /join #roomname [20:25] thanks james [20:25] how to find them?

[20:43] all of my kopete accounts disapeared???? [20:55] if this ( kcmshell4 screensaver ) gives you a short cut to screensavers.... what will add a short cut for desktop themes ? [21:09] if this ( kcmshell4 screensaver ) gives you a short cut to screensavers.... what will add a short cut for desktop themes ?? [21:11] TheBuntu: have a look at systemsettings > Desktop Appearance ( i think ) [21:11] Workspace Appearance rather [21:13] to slow.... kcmshell4 desktoptheme [21:13] i putting short cuts on my panel [21:14] guess google does help.... kcmshell4 --list [21:23] hello [21:24] mjobin: Malformed config? [21:25] rasoroeu: hi [21:25] Daskreech: would an upgrade to 4.6.2 cause that ? [21:26] this week, i lost my wallet and my kopete config..... that's very annoying [21:26] mjobin: Possibly but it would be unusual [21:26] mjobin: as an aside I highly advise backing up your ~/.kde before upgrading KDE [21:26] i use KDE since 1.1 and such a config lost never happened [21:27] at best it's a 1 min delay [21:27] at worst if you upgraded and didn't like something/broke something really bad you can jump back to the old version [21:27] even if the new version updated your config files to somethign imcompatible with the old ones [22:40] does anyone know if the Notebook workspace type has any additional power saving properties or are the differences to Desktop type only superficial? [22:45] hey all [22:46] delac: it runs less stuff [22:46] hi [22:48] Daskreech: what stuff exactly? desktop effects? [22:48] what's the topic atm? [22:50] KTanner: type /topic [22:51] delac: integration of kwin among other things you can ask in #plasma [22:51] well okay, what i meant is what are you and delac talking about? haha [22:53] KTanner: if the netbook workspace uses less power than the Desktop [22:54] delac: 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 can [22:55] I 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 effects [22:57] do you know if it reduces some other things like number of indexing daemons or other background workers? [22:57] or is it just theme related things? [22:58] delac: 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 running [22:59] delac: flip those off if you like doesn't have anything to do with the interface [23:00] well I mean it has somethings to do with it but if you dn't care about that stuff just turn it off [23:01] is the impact of default panels and kwin effects much larger than Netbooks? [23:01] just be careful of turning off certain services like powerdevil and other (usually) essential services [23:07] I 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 cpu [23:14] well, I'm going to run powertop for a while and see if I can make anything out of that. thanks! [23:17] No problem :) [23:18] Okay 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? [23:20] wait.. I opened it in libreoffice calc and it shows parts of the actual website... no contacts... so windows live.com failed [23:21] KTanner: CSV is a text data file, so it shouldn't have any html in it :S [23:22] Which 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 contacts [23:26] I used Firefox 4 to download the file and this time it worked... I don't know why it didn't work in reqonk O.o [23:27] huh it's kinda annoying that the importer doesn't give the option for First name middle name and last name [23:32] hey is the non full time contributor Kubuntu permanent or just for the next release? [23:36] katsrc: Um, I'm not entirely sure.. what exactly do you mean? Like, coding? [23:37] KTanner: talking about riddell's latest blog post: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4414 [23:39] katsrc: I think he just won't be around for the updates and bug fixes in this release [23:39] KTanner: ah, ok. thanks. [23:40] No problem === mren is now known as mren|off
