| bigbrovar | has anyway one upgraded to kde 4.6.5? | 03:49 |
| szal | bigbrovar: as of about 6 hours ago it wasn't in the repos yet | 03:57 |
| bigbrovar | szal: its there now according to the kubuntu news page | 03:58 |
| bigbrovar | szal: so run quick install while still out and come back and tell me if it broke anything so I know if its safe to upgrade :p | 03:59 |
| szal | bigbrovar: no, I won't.. I'll update when I see fit :P | 04:00 |
| szal | bigbrovar: but just so you know it.. by experience, dot upgrades are painless, and I've been through a few since 4.2.0 | 04:01 |
| szal | (and in KDE3 before that, for that matter) | 04:01 |
| bigbrovar | szal: yeah same here never had issues with any dot upgrades, But I did see someone on identica complain about some activity issue. which doesnt really bother me cause I dont use activity | 04:02 |

| === AcmeOne is now known as IdleOne | ||
| LINKSWORD2 | szal: I've got a few different options. System Settings. Global Settings or Software Management Settings. | 06:01 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Neither of which is leading me to "Configure Profiles." | 06:01 |
| szal | LINKSWORD2: did I say 'Systemsettings'? | 06:02 |
| LINKSWORD2 | szal: LINKSWORD2: Settings -> Configure Profiles | 06:02 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Problem is, I'm not finding an option to configure profiles. | 06:03 |
| szal | LINKSWORD2: exactly, find 'System' in 'Settings'.. ;) | 06:03 |
| szal | LINKSWORD2: on failing to do so, you might wanna check the Konsole menu | 06:05 |

| cuqa | hey. i was just going to install kubuntu along with windows 7 | 13:48 |
| cuqa | during install process however the 'guided install' said that it would use all disk space. I have nnot seen any info about the existing partitions | 13:48 |
| szal | if you have any clue about partitioning, use custom setup | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | cuqa, don't use guided , use themanual partition option | 13:50 |
| cuqa | but not sure if all data is lost then_ | 13:50 |
| cuqa | also in manual install i didnt see any info about the existing partitions | 13:50 |
| BluesKaj | cuqa, did you format | 13:50 |
| cuqa | no | 13:50 |
| cuqa | there is still C,D and E at windows 7 | 13:51 |
| cuqa | i wanna have both installed | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | ok , download a burn gparted live cd , and use it to partition your drive before installation | 13:52 |
| cuqa | i have like 160 gb unused disk space on the hard disk. probablz because of old linux installations | 13:53 |
| cuqa | could I use that for the installation or do I have to create a partition with the unused space first? | 13:54 |
| BluesKaj | create a pertition in the unused space first yes | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | then the install cd should see the the parition , also format it to ext4 ,that will speed things up some | 13:57 |
| cuqa | kk | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | BBL ..gotta clean this KB | 13:58 |
| cuqa | thx BluesKaj. cya | 14:03 |
| grusum | right clicking on desktop no longer allows change of background - instead brings up KMenu. I did it and now don't remember how. What to do to revert to normal action ?? | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | grusum, dunno , reboot ? | 14:41 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: tried that and have searched and tried all I know to resolve my problem that I created... | 14:42 |
| === wtfman is now known as cuqa | ||
| cuqa | strange, that gparted doesnt show me any partitions neither | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | cuqa, describe no partitions , what does it show? | 14:50 |
| cuqa | it just shows the hard drive, no allocated space or something | 14:50 |
| cuqa | and it displays the total size of the harddisk | 14:50 |
| BluesKaj | click on the hardrive | 14:50 |
| cuqa | i did actually. but wait. gonna check it again. cant really describe | 14:51 |
| cuqa | brb | 14:51 |
| BluesKaj | grusum, did you lock your scrn or some such, do you recall? | 14:52 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: i edited a setting in some file and now memory of that event is gone. KMenu is fine but would like to change background . . . | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | grusum, was it a system settings edit ? | 14:56 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: yes, I thought with ubuntu-tweak but might have done it in System Settings ... have searched far and wide ... :-( | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | grusum, are you on gnome or kde ? | 15:00 |
| === cuqa is now known as wtfman | ||
| grusum | BluesKaj: kde 4.6.5 | 15:01 |
| wtfman | it just says allocated space | 15:02 |
| wtfman | when I select the harddrive nothing happens | 15:02 |
| wtfman | rightclick hard drive gives me the possibility to select new or information | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | choose info , wtfman ...but no ntfs partition listed ? | 15:05 |
| wtfman | no nothing | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | yofel, we need some kde expertise , right clicking on the desktop oly brings up the kmenu , grusum has this problem , and I have no idea how to help . | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | wtfman, you said there was a windows install on that drive , correct ? If so I wonder if it's bootable...somehow I doubt it | 15:08 |
| wtfman | well, I use it right now :) | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | strange that gparted doesn't see it as NTFS | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | is this windows partition encrypted by any chance ? | 15:10 |
| wtfman | no | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | grusum, I see you're listed at #ubuntu+1 as well , maybe you could ask there too | 15:12 |
| wtfman | i ran kubuntu from usb stick, didnt find the partitions at install progress, but it did find them in the KDE | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | which windows wtfman ? | 15:12 |
| wtfman | just ran it from usb then.. windows 7 | 15:12 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: thank u for your effort. I wish u well. | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | I'm not real familiar with usb installs ...my pcs are too old to use them | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | I can't boot from usb in other words | 15:15 |
| wtfman | ok tx for ur efforts | 15:15 |
| wtfman | letting this be for now | 15:15 |
| wtfman | just formatted win 7 yesterday. dont rly want to give me that stress agin :) | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | wtfman, formatted w7 ? | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | so there 's no data on the partition | 15:16 |
| wtfman | there is of course | 15:17 |
| wtfman | I reinstalled it | 15:17 |
| wtfman | formatted C: then installed windows 7 again | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | wtfman, did you try to resize the windows partition to make room for kubuntu , was there an option to resize? | 15:20 |
| wtfman | no | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | no option or no you did't try | 15:20 |
| wtfman | no option | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | do you have a cdrom drive or is this a netbook? | 15:21 |
| wtfman | desktop pc | 15:21 |
| wtfman | but prolly nothing to do with the usb drive | 15:21 |
| wtfman | i just found some posts on google with similar issues | 15:22 |
| BluesKaj | never seen this before | 15:22 |
| BluesKaj | I still prefer the live cd instll method ...the best one IMO is the alternate install | 15:23 |
| senekis | lal | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | wtfman, can you see the partition in the windows partition editor ? | 15:26 |
| yofel | grusum, BluesKaj: I fear I'm clueless how that would happen. I would look in some ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* file | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | ok yofel thanks | 15:29 |
| grusum | yofel: BluesKaj: thanks for efforts-will continue to search... | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | ~/.kde/share/config/plasma , grusum | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | or ~/.kde/share/config/ then choose plasma | 15:34 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: thanks - headed there now | 15:34 |
| yofel | grusum: or maybe .kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc | 15:35 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: yofel: SOLUTION FOUND !!! Click the plasma widget config almond in upper right hand corner, go Desktop Settings, go Mouse Actions and change action for R mouse button back to Standard Menu from Application Launcher -- Problem solved, Thanks gentlemen! \o/ | 15:46 |
| yofel | bah, too many settings ^^ | 15:46 |
| yofel | kudos for finding that :) | 15:46 |
| grusum | yofel: that is what I used to think when I was a fan of Gnome but I have learned to like KDE after switch to Unity - NOT a fan of Unity | 15:47 |
| BluesKaj | grusum, you're welcopme I think ,but I didn' thinkof that :) | 15:47 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: sometimes just talking helps, gets one to thinking and if nothing else makes one feel like not alone with annoying problem... I still thank you, sir! | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | amyway grusum good to know | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | :) | 15:49 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: KDE has much more to explore and many more avenues to try different things... gives me something to do to while away my time . . . | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | grusum, yes ,i'm an old retired guy and and linux has kept me going and given mr a hobby of sorts :) | 15:52 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: I'm 63 and started with Caldera and Corel LInux back in late 90's - took till about 2003 to break free and use ONLY linux. Have been using various distros since then. settled on Kubuntu and Xubuntu for netbook. | 15:57 |
| grusum | BluesKaj: got lunch call - thanks and hope u have a nice weekend, old man. <grin> | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | right grusum , nice talking with ya ..same to you have a good one | 16:01 |
| hoverbear | Hey all, just wanted to say I'm abundantly impressed with kubuntu so far | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | hoverbear, glad to hear that | 16:50 |
| hoverbear | Just need to deal with power issues, I'm all the way up to 20w | 16:50 |
| grusum | hoverbear: it pleases me too - glad to hear your impressed | 16:51 |
| grusum | hoverbear: 20w = ?? | 16:51 |
| hoverbear | 20w = 2 times more then I should be using, but 5 w of that is my extra gpu I haven't got offlined yet | 16:52 |
| hoverbear | grusum: This is a laptop that should be able to pull 8 hours of battery | 16:52 |
| hoverbear | Right now I'm sitting at 4.5 :S | 16:53 |
| grusum | hoverbear: I put xubuntu on my lenovo netwook and get over 6 hrs with a 9cell battery - very impressed with it - does all I wanted to do, email and light surfing | 16:53 |
| hoverbear | Awesome :) | 16:54 |
| hoverbear | Yeah I'm on a T420 with dual gpus | 16:54 |
| hoverbear | Should be able to power one off and get down to at least 13w | 16:54 |
| hoverbear | grusum: Have you gotten hdapsd working on your thinkpad yet? | 16:55 |
| grusum | hoverbear: i turn off things I dont use, sound, camera, bluetooth and run brightness way down and it just keeps on going | 16:56 |
| hoverbear | Yeah :) | 16:56 |
| grusum | hoverbear: go not use hdapsd so no | 16:57 |
| grusum | go = do | 16:57 |
| hoverbear | grusum: Any reason why? | 16:57 |
| grusum | hoverbear: please bear with an old man, "I don't know what it is." is why <grin> I have not needed it to do what I wish to accomplish. | 16:58 |
| hoverbear | grusum: Oh. Well, if you have a relatively recent thinkpad they are equipped with a accelerometer that you can configure so that when your thinpad experiences undue acceleration (from say, dropping it) the hard disk is automatically parked | 16:59 |
| hoverbear | http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_protect_the_harddisk_through_APS Theres a (complicated) tutorial | 16:59 |
| hoverbear | grusum: This is what I used to get it working, you can probably skip the source editing step on yours http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1752993 | 17:00 |
| grusum | hoverbear: HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver using an acceleratomer <sp>... My S10 does not have an acceleratomer so ... | 17:01 |
| hoverbear | grusum: Ah ok. :) | 17:01 |
| grusum | hoverbear: I replace the hdd with a sdd and still have the faculties to not drop it <grin> | 17:03 |
| hoverbear | grusum: Good man. :) | 17:03 |
| hoverbear | grusum: I figured I'd set it up because what the hell right? | 17:03 |
| grusum | hoverbear: absolutely.. that's why people climb mountains, u know? | 17:04 |
| hoverbear | grusum: :) | 17:05 |
| hoverbear | Yay, got my nvidia gpu off | 17:05 |
| hoverbear | Down to 11.6 w | 17:05 |
| grusum | hoverbear: how are u measuring the wattage used? | 17:06 |
| hoverbear | powertop | 17:07 |
| grusum | hoverbear: gone to lookup powertop I am | 17:07 |
| hoverbear | grusum: sudo apt-get install powertop, unplug your laptop, then run sudo powertop | 17:08 |
| hoverbear | It'll give you a rundown of whats eatin the most cpu time on your machine, and give suggestions on how to improve it | 17:08 |
| hoverbear | really nice like app | 17:08 |
| grusum | hoverbear: Thank you! I learned something today... I didn't know abt it.. will install this PM on netbook | 17:11 |
| hoverbear | grusum: :) | 17:17 |
| hoverbear | grusum: Other things to make sure you're using include pm-utils, and laptop-mode-tools | 17:22 |
| grusum | hoverbear: thanks - will do.. have a good weekend | 17:28 |
| hoverbear | grusum: You too | 17:29 |

| PythonSnake | Hi Ddpbf | 20:21 |
| PythonSnake | :) | 20:21 |
| Ddpbf | PythonSnake: hi | 20:21 |
| Ddpbf | PythonSnake: you asked yesterday how to speed up KDE? | 20:22 |
| PythonSnake | right | 20:23 |
| hoverbear | Ddpbf: I'm also curious, more interested in how to reduce power consumption though, i've notived kde is signifigantly higher on average then ubuntu's unity. | 20:23 |
| Ddpbf | hoverbear: you could regulatte with power devil | 20:24 |
| Ddpbf | PythonSnake: alt+f2 and type kdebugdialog | 20:25 |
| Ddpbf | turn it off all | 20:25 |
| Ddpbf | then | 20:25 |
| hoverbear | Ddpbf: I was trying to get it to save my powertop settings.... What's powerdevil? | 20:25 |
| Ddpbf | it is program for regulation of power consumptioin | 20:25 |
| hoverbear | Installed by default? | 20:26 |
| Ddpbf | PythonSnake: kate ~kde/share/config/oxygenrc | 20:26 |
| Ddpbf | hoverbear: yes | 20:26 |
| hoverbear | Ddpbf: Would that be the power management settings in the "System Settings" I've been using? | 20:26 |
| Ddpbf | PythonSnake: then find line [Windeco] | 20:28 |
| Ddpbf | hoverbear: yes | 20:28 |
| Ddpbf | PythonSnake: UseAnimations=false | 20:28 |
| Ddpbf | add that | 20:28 |
| Ddpbf | below | 20:28 |
| Ddpbf | and then kwin --replace | 20:28 |
| Ddpbf | and then alt+f2 and thypekwin -replace | 20:29 |
| Ddpbf | PythonSnake: you could also try raster | 20:29 |
| Ddpbf | sudo apt-get install kde-config-qt-graphicssystem | 20:29 |
| PythonSnake | thanks it works =] | 20:30 |
| hoverbear | Ddpbf: Right, I've got that setup, but I want to have usb suspend and wireless power savings etc to work.... When I use powertop and do settings through it, they don't save past me plugging in my computer again | 20:30 |
| PythonSnake | brb | 20:30 |
| Ddpbf | afther that go in system settings and click on bomb | 20:30 |
| Ddpbf | hoverbear: linux 2.6.38 has some issues with power consumption | 20:30 |
| Ddpbf | you could tryay newer or older kernel | 20:31 |
| Ddpbf | in natty | 20:31 |
| hoverbear | I mean, they're working, but it seems like the settings are being reversed by kde | 20:32 |
