=== Wilson is now known as Guest76070 [00:33] how do I list all folders with a certain tag?/ [00:35] DeltaEpsilon: what do you mean exactly? [00:35] if you go to the properties window of a folder, you can set tags for a folder [00:36] I want to list all folders that has the same tag [00:39] DeltaEpsilon: what kind of tag? [00:39] SIR_Taco: try it youself and you will see [00:40] DeltaEpsilon: ok... fine... but how are you searching by tag? [00:41] sort on part of name, date, or else ? [00:41] SIR_Taco: that is what I trying to figure out [00:41] :\ [00:41] ah ok [00:44] DeltaEpsilon: you can't select: Edit -> Find -> select Content -> and add the Tag there? [00:44] in Dolphin, I'm talking about [00:46] SIR_Taco: I figured out how it works [00:46] ok [00:46] I have to use the Information panel [00:46] then click on the tag name [00:46] ah, ok [00:46] that will show all folders with the same tag [00:46] quite useful [00:47] I did it through Dolphin and searched "image" and it brought up all pictures in my home folder [00:47] but it is pain in the ass to go to the property window to add a new tag [00:47] think I have to use the Information panel [00:49] DeltaEpsilon: you can always suggest a better option [01:21] hello :> i'm having a strange problem with kgpg...it starts fine, everything appears to be normal, but when i try to generate a new key pair it fails on the actual generation step, without a helpful error message...has anyone else seen this? [01:24] prower: have you tried running kgpg from konsole? might give you some error messages that will help [01:24] SIR_Taco: Hmm... gpg-agent is not available for this session...gpg-agent is installed, though... [01:25] should just be able to type kgpg [01:26] SIR_Taco, oh, that's what i did, yes :> that was the error message in the console [01:27] what error? if it's more than one line, paste to paste.kde.org [01:28] gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session [01:28] I also get it if I run gpg by itself in the console [01:30] is "gnupg-agent" installed? [01:33] SIR_Taco, you must have missed what i said before :> gnupg-agent is definitely installed [01:35] prower: interesting... I get the same error [01:35] what version of Kubuntu and KDE are you running? [01:36] SIR_Taco, no idea what's causing it either, worked fine in 10.10, strace doesn't tell me anything useful...kubuntu 11.04 (64-bit) with the latest updates installed for kde 4.6.2, default repositories [01:37] prower: well I'm on 11.10 and KDE 4.6.3 and get the same error... mine seems to be a dbus error though [01:39] SIR_Taco, Odd...so I guess it's not related to the KDE version then, I was using it in fedora 15 (4.6.3) and never had the same problem [01:40] honestly I'm not entirely sure... I know it doesn't work for me (for whatever reason)... might be something it depends on that I'm not aware of [01:42] SIR_Taco, it's a mystery to me as well, though thanks for checking it out :> gpg seems to work fine otherwise [01:42] not a problem, very odd [01:49] hi guys, having a problem with a panel, it somehow jumped to top, and for some reason there's a panel inside a panel? o.o how do i move it back down to the bottom? >.< [01:51] uberfrau: and now there's no panel at the bottom? or you have an extra one at the top? [01:52] SIR_Taco: a panel on top and bottom, the one on bottom is default, but i want my major running programs back where they were before, in the default panel on the bottom [01:52] and i closed the weird panels that were inside the panel that moved to the top [01:53] SIR_Taco, it's a part of kdeutils so i'll probably file a bug on launchpad if i get a chance, there isn't one there already oddly enough [01:54] prower: good idea, hopefully it's solved soon [01:56] uberfrau: ok, if you click the ugly cashew thingy on the panel (bottom right), you should be able to drag your "task manager" (holding your open windows) from the top taskbar to the bottom. If not, you can always do "add widgets" add "Task Manager" to the bottom and remove it from the top [01:57] sec :/ [02:00] how do i fix the 'screen edge' setting to fill out the full horizontal length of the screen? === orlando is now known as Guest84121 [02:01] nvm figured it out [02:01] the centre thing has to be on the black line first [02:01] yep [02:02] get it all sorted out?

[02:48] another question: how can i move a tab within task manager over? my monitor is defective, so i want to move a specific task over to where i can see it when it lights up [02:55] how do you read my answer, uberfrau ? [02:55] what? X_X [02:56] ah your monitor is not defective [02:59] o.o [02:59] there is a 5 cm wide vertical band of lines [02:59] the monitor is defective [02:59] how do i move a task over within the task manager [03:04] alt tab or scrollwheel when hoovering over taskmanager [03:13] no, i don't mean to cycle through them [03:13] i mean to move the location of a task within the taskbar >_< [03:43] anyone?

[15:45] shadeslayer systemsetting -> application appearance = oxygen [15:45] yes [15:46] huh [15:46] kleopatra_: there used to be a gtk applications option there [15:47] i don't see it anymore on KDE Trunk [15:49] shadeslayer dont find any option there [15:49] yeah thats what i'm thinking as well [15:50] kleopatra_: basically : http://hugo-kde.blogspot.com/2010/11/oxygen-gtk.html [15:52] ilias: line 2 of your paste shows it's trying to use /dev/ttyS0 instead of the /dev/ttySL0 that slmodem made [15:54] really. actually is ttySL0 and not ttyS0. i am going to change it [15:59] ilias: There is a line reading: DEVICE: ttyS0 or similar to change in /etc/efax-gtkrc [16:00] i changed both settings and efax-gtkrc. now the message is efax-0.9a: 17:59:21 Warning: /dev/ttySL0 locked or busy - waiting (4 times) [16:04] ilias: What says result of command: sudo lsof | grep ttySL0 [16:06] nothing. the system thinks and answers nothing! [16:16] ilias: Does file in /var/lock exist with ttySL0 in name? [16:17] /var/lock is empty [16:18] !qtparted [16:18] !info qtparted [16:18] Package qtparted does not exist in natty [16:18] what do people use (ui based) for parted these days in kubuntu?

[16:23] system answered: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-06-06 09:31 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/1 and efax still gives the same error efax-0.9a: 17:59:21 Warning: /dev/ttySL0 locked or busy - waiting [16:26] ilias: It is a symbolic link then. What says ls -l /dev/pts/1 ...we want to see the groupname here and then see if your user belongs to that group, like dialout [16:27] crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 136, 1 2011-06-06 12:58 /dev/pts/1 [16:29] i think you are close to solve it! [16:31] ilias: grep $(whoami) /etc/group | grep dialout [16:32] ilias: If you are in dialout group will be some result, if you are not in group, just return to command prompt [16:32] dialout:x:20:user [16:32] probably i am in dialout group. [16:32] ilias: Yes, looks like [16:33] so what next? why efax insists with errors? [16:36] ilias: I'm not sure :( And unfortunately I am also running out of ideas to approach the problem [16:37] oh my God...i cannot believe it. you know so many things. i know very well that fax/modem setup in linux is a very difficult case. but i see that you almost know everything [16:38] maybe a reboot is needed? [16:41] is it possible to have a conflict with any other device? does dmesg or lspci can help you think something more? [16:44] ilias: I suspect currently some permissions issue. What is result of command: groups [16:45] I'm on Kubuntu 11.04. LibreOffice is caught in a recovery loop and it will not stop asking to recover a file. How do I get rid of this?

[16:56] http://www.mailrepository.com//ubuntu-bugs.lists.ubuntu.com/msg/2471584/ [16:56] ilias: Do you have modem-manager installed? [16:57] no, i dont think so [16:58] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/faxing-problem-with-usb-56kmodem-476231/ [16:59] ilias: I think to make it do a log and then look at the log. In /etc/efax-gtkrc there is a line: #LOG: which maybe make like: LOG: /home/user/efax-log then run it again, after exit see whats in the log [16:59] so no unity on for kde? [17:01] or 11.10 alpha 1? [17:02] no log file!

[17:23] ok now the efax answered the call. but there is no sign that someone is calling me. after 15 secs closed the line. [17:25] ilias: If you don't mind the modem sounds, you can put option like M1 or M2 for modem initialization, this keeps the monitor on so you can hear it talking to other things === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [17:26] ilias: I have some construction happening in my office in about 20-25 minutes and so will be off the computer [17:27] ok. i will wait for your super advises [17:27] thanks in advance === Keshl_ is now known as Keshl [18:42] bigbrovar, ping [18:43] c2tarun: hi [18:43] bigbrovar, hi :) my kernel crashed today and my wifi stopped working again :( I am on ubuntu right now, is there any way to fix it? [18:43] ilias: Did you manage to get anywhere yet with the faxing? [18:45] c2tarun: since deploying my work around I have not had any issue with wireless [18:46] bigbrovar, any suggestions :( [18:46] what should I do? [18:46] c2tarun: whats the output of this cmd lsmod | grep wl [18:46] and this lsmod | grep bcm [18:47] bigbrovar, first output [18:48] bigbrovar, http://paste.ubuntu.com/620124/ [18:49] bigbrovar, and nothing on grep bcm [18:49] hmmm [18:49] c2tarun: what about ifconfig [18:50] btw did u install any upgrade recently? [18:50] bigbrovar, nope [18:50] ok whats the output of ifconfig [18:53] my knetworkmanager seems to be broken. Anybody with experience with knetworkmanager? [18:56] i defined some network configurations but after a reboot today the configs are no longer listed when i click on the networkmanager applet in the system tray [18:56] bigbrovar, ifconfig http://paste.ubuntu.com/620130/ [18:58] c2tarun: wireless hardware seems to be detected. which network manager are u using? still the gnome version or kde version, and also what happens when u try to connect to wireless. is the wireless led indicator for the laptop on? [18:59] bigbrovar, yeah wireless is on, and I am using gnome's n/w manager. [18:59] kobus, what kind of connection , ethernet ot wifi ? [18:59] BluesKaj: ethernet [19:01] bigbrovar, any idea? I am just fedup of this ubuntu kernel issue with broadcom wifi :( what should I do? [19:01] BluesKaj: I added a fixed ip config for some course i'm on and when i tried to select the config knetworkmanager kept on crashing [19:02] c2tarun: I have no idea really. I have not had a kernel panic since using my work around. brb closing from work been here for close to 12 hours [19:02] BluesKaj: i installed some updates this afternoon and after a reboot the configs no longer show [19:03] kobus, with ethernet you don't really need network manager , some edits in /etc/network/interfaces will work as well [19:04] kobus, dhcp ? [19:05] if so kobus, sudo dhclient eth0 [19:06] BluesKaj: for convenience i want to be able to quickly switch to a network setup, specific fixed ip & netmask. how would i do this in /etc/network/interfaces? a pointer to what to google for is enough :-) [19:07] kobus, try this first sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [19:09] kobus, here's a decent tutorial for using network/interfaces without network manager http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [19:09] BluesKaj: reconfigured network interfaces, no change === c2tarun_ is now known as c2tarun [19:09] kobus, ^ [19:09] BluesKaj: I think thats been converted now to an upstart job [19:10] BluesKaj: thanks, I will look at it. strange, i've used knetworkmanager for this without problems for more than a year [19:10] genii-around, I still use it , with dnsmasq settings in resolv.conf [19:11] Haven't used network manager for 3 yrs [19:12] except for wifi on the laptop [19:16] BluesKaj: why is that, it has the functionality. is it because the bugs are not fixed? [19:19] kobus, I was converted to using the network/interfaces file by some guys who claimed it's settings create a faster connection than using the network manager [19:20] brb [19:20] BluesKaj: ok, maybe you will convert me [19:24] ok rebooted router .added wifes online game to the allowed ports === Nexus6_ is now known as Nexus6 [19:45] hi everybody, i have a weird and not reproduceable wlan problem. i am working w/ linux for years now, so i have tried a lot, but: after booting my pc, SOMETIMES wlan will not connect. i have to reboot the entire pc then, logout/in, or restarting the knetworkmanager, or eve unloading/loading the driver module doesnt help. i have no idea what that is, and it appens in 3 out of 5 boots. [20:02] hey, i see several dialogs with "share this graphical element on the network," usually plasmoids, what exactly does this do? [20:02] hey, i see several dialogs with "share this graphical element on the network," usually plasmoids, what exactly does this do? [20:05] afkpersonnumbero: that means if it's shared, it can be viewed on another system in the local network usually [20:08] is it zeroconf or something? does kde have a backend server thats always running for those? [20:11] genii-around: well the only i think i managed with efax was to call my line and manually answered and heared the known sound of fax. as i called my line from my mobile the line disconnected from efax after 15-20 secs maybe because recognized that it wasn't an incoming fax. [20:12] i could not manage to answer automatically although i enable stanby and 3 rings. [20:13] that's a problem because i cannot know the time of the incoming call [20:13] that is for incoming. [20:14] i tried also for an outcoming call but the program asks for a postscript file [20:15] i convert to ps file a pdf and a odt file but cannot accept them because cannot manage tiff files [20:15] i tried to find an online convertor to try with them but i diddn't find aything. [20:16] so i dont know if efax can call but i guess it can. [20:17] i couldnt manage to hear the modem dialing or accepting a call [20:18] that is my short review. actually i googled enough and the same 'bugs' was identified from many other users [20:19] some of them recommend for an upadate to the latest stable version [20:19] some other althoug they updated their efax they couldn't solve these probls. [20:19] hello [20:19] that's all. [20:20] kopete won't come out of the systray, for some reason [20:21] ilias: Apologies, my time to assist today is extremely limited, work is very busy and I am also having computer issues myself. [20:21] any way it was a very good try and your help was super. i am satisfied even i can only accept incoming faxes. i rarely send faxes. i prefer email. [20:22] ok, no probl. i hope you read the above review and i hope next days to help to solve these small issues. [20:22] ilias: As I understand, it can send files which are PDF or PS . Openoffice/Libreoffice can export to PDF, this might be the best way to convert what you need to send. As for the receiving, I'm fairly lost on how to assist there [20:23] no, pdf, only ps but not the ps they can be converted with OO or LO. [20:25] efax: fails to send ps file: can't read multi-strip TIFF files [20:34] well i have to go now for some sleep, is already 22:33 here. many thanks for the advises. regards. === bigjools-afk is now known as bigjools === yofel_ is now known as yofel [20:58] bye === Keshl_ is now known as Keshl [21:16] why isnt muon included instead of kpackkit [21:16] kpackagekit is lame [21:16] anyone care to enlighten me as to how I go about setting a socks proxy for kde?

I have been searching all day and haven't found a successful way to shrink them to a reasonable size. any one have any luck with this?
