[00:02] <Python> hi how to speed up kde ?
[00:04] <bazhang> Python, thats a very vague question; please give some details. speed up *what*
[00:04] <Python> speed up. hmm performance..
[00:08] <bazhang> Python, getting vaguer..
[00:09] <Python> stuff loads faster, bazhang
[00:10] <bazhang> Python, really. if you want some assistance you need to give concrete details. 'stuff' and 'performance' are not exactly clear.
[00:11] <Python> bazhang: nevermind
[00:36] <kjartano> nir: u here ? :D
[00:58] <lucas__> Hello all!
[02:26] <maverick> coe cambada
[03:49] <bigbrovar> has anyway one upgraded to kde 4.6.5?
[03:57] <szal> bigbrovar: as of about 6 hours ago it wasn't in the repos yet
[03:58] <bigbrovar> szal: its there now according to the kubuntu news page
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <szal> bigbrovar: no, I won't..  I'll update when I see fit :P
[04:01] <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)
[04:02] <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
[05:17] <LINKSWORD2> Greetings, all. :)
[05:17] <BobbleHeadDuck> xD
[05:31] <LINKSWORD2> Hey guys, is there a way to change the background and text colors in Konsole?
[05:37] <mez_> as
[05:38] <LINKSWORD2> ...?
[05:43] <szal> LINKSWORD2: Settings -> Configure Profiles
[05:46] <LINKSWORD2> I'm not finding it?
[06:01] <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."
[06:02] <szal> LINKSWORD2: did I say 'Systemsettings'?
[06:02] <LINKSWORD2> szal: LINKSWORD2: Settings -> Configure Profiles
[06:03] <LINKSWORD2> Problem is, I'm not finding an option to configure profiles.
[06:03] <szal> LINKSWORD2: exactly, find 'System' in 'Settings'.. ;)
[06:05] <szal> LINKSWORD2: on failing to do so, you might wanna check the Konsole menu
[06:07] <LINKSWORD2> ... Found it. lol
[06:07] <LINKSWORD2> Now, I feel like a dumbass.

[11:51] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[12:34] <wtfman> hello. i wanna install kubuntu via usb .. i had a software once for windows where you could select lots of distros and then dl + prepare the stick
[12:35] <wtfman> anyone which software I mean?
[12:35] <BluesKaj> !usb | wtfman
[12:37] <wtfman> ty
[12:52] <BluesKaj> !nomodeset
[13:35] <RedDemon1970> hi
[13:35] <BluesKaj> hi
[13:41] <szal> !info fotowall
[13:41] <RedDemon1970> can anybody tell me how i can adjust my monitor settings, i've installed the properetary drivers for my ati card and kubuntu won't accept anny change i make in the settings
[13:42] <sithlord48> RedDemon1970:  alt+f2 type in kdesudo amdcccle  use their toold for your settings
[13:43] <RedDemon1970> thx sithlord48
[13:43] <sithlord48> RedDemon1970:  your welcome
[13:48] <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
[13:49] <szal> if you have any clue about partitioning, use custom setup
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <cuqa> there is still C,D and E at windows 7
[13:51] <cuqa> i wanna have both installed
[13:52] <BluesKaj> ok , download a burn gparted live cd , and use it to partition your drive before installation
[13:53] <cuqa> i have like 160 gb unused disk space on the hard disk. probablz because of old linux installations
[13:54] <cuqa> could I use that for the installation or do I have to create a partition with the unused space first?
[13:55] <BluesKaj> create a pertition in the unused space first  yes
[13:57] <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
[13:58] <BluesKaj> BBL ..gotta clean this KB
[14:03] <cuqa> thx BluesKaj. cya
[14:38] <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 ??
[14:41] <BluesKaj> grusum, dunno , reboot ?
[14:42] <grusum> BluesKaj: tried that and have searched and tried all I know to resolve my problem that I created...
[14:47] <cuqa> strange, that gparted doesnt show me any partitions neither
[14:50] <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
[14:51] <cuqa> i did actually. but wait. gonna check it again. cant really describe
[14:51] <cuqa> brb
[14:52] <BluesKaj> grusum, did you lock your scrn or some such, do you recall?
[14:53] <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 . . .
[14:56] <BluesKaj> grusum, was it a system settings edit ?
[14:58] <grusum> BluesKaj: yes, I thought with ubuntu-tweak but might have done it in System Settings ... have searched far and wide ...    :-(
[15:00] <BluesKaj> grusum, are you on gnome or kde ?
[15:01] <grusum> BluesKaj: kde 4.6.5
[15:02] <wtfman> it just says allocated space
[15:02] <wtfman> when I select the harddrive nothing happens
[15:03] <wtfman> rightclick hard drive gives me the possibility to select new or information
[15:05] <BluesKaj> choose info , wtfman ...but no ntfs partition listed ?
[15:05] <wtfman> no nothing
[15:06] <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 .
[15:08] <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 :)
[15:09] <BluesKaj> strange that gparted doesn't see it as NTFS
[15:10] <BluesKaj> is this windows partition encrypted by any chance ?
[15:11] <wtfman> no
[15:12] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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 :)
[15:16] <BluesKaj> wtfman, formatted w7 ?
[15:16] <BluesKaj> so there 's no data on the partition
[15:17] <wtfman> there is of course
[15:17] <wtfman> I reinstalled it
[15:17] <wtfman> formatted C: then installed windows 7 again
[15:20] <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
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <wtfman> i just found some posts on google with similar issues
[15:22] <BluesKaj> never seen this before
[15:23] <BluesKaj> I still prefer the live cd instll method ...the best one IMO is the alternate install
[15:24] <senekis> lal
[15:26] <BluesKaj> wtfman, can you see the partition in the windows partition editor ?
[15:28] <yofel> grusum, BluesKaj: I fear I'm clueless how that would happen. I would look in some ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* file
[15:29] <BluesKaj> ok yofel thanks
[15:32] <grusum> yofel: BluesKaj: thanks for efforts-will continue to search...
[15:33] <BluesKaj> ~/.kde/share/config/plasma , grusum
[15:34] <BluesKaj> or ~/.kde/share/config/ then choose plasma
[15:34] <grusum> BluesKaj: thanks - headed there now
[15:35] <yofel> grusum: or maybe .kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc
[15:46] <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 :)
[15:47] <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 :)
[15:48] <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!
[15:49] <BluesKaj> amyway grusum good to know
[15:49] <BluesKaj> :)
[15:50] <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 . . .
[15:52] <BluesKaj> grusum, yes ,i'm an old retired guy and and linux has kept me going and given mr a hobby of sorts :)
[15:57] <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.
[15:59] <grusum> BluesKaj: got lunch call - thanks and hope u have a nice weekend, old man. <grin>
[16:01] <BluesKaj> right grusum , nice talking with ya ..same to you have a good one
[16:49] <hoverbear> Hey all, just wanted to say I'm abundantly impressed with kubuntu so far
[16:50] <BluesKaj> hoverbear, glad to hear that
[16:50] <hoverbear> Just need to deal with power issues, I'm all the way up to 20w
[16:51] <grusum> hoverbear: it pleases me too - glad to hear your impressed
[16:51] <grusum> hoverbear: 20w = ??
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <hoverbear> grusum: Have you gotten hdapsd working on your thinkpad yet?
[16:56] <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 :)
[16:57] <grusum> hoverbear: go not use hdapsd so no
[16:57] <grusum> go = do
[16:57] <hoverbear> grusum: Any reason why?
[16:58] <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.
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <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. :)
[17:03] <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?
[17:04] <grusum> hoverbear: absolutely.. that's why people climb mountains, u know?
[17:05] <hoverbear> grusum: :)
[17:05] <hoverbear> Yay, got my nvidia gpu off
[17:05] <hoverbear> Down to 11.6 w
[17:06] <grusum> hoverbear: how are u measuring the wattage used?
[17:07] <hoverbear> powertop
[17:07] <grusum> hoverbear: gone to lookup powertop I am
[17:08] <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
[17:11] <grusum> hoverbear: Thank you! I learned something today... I didn't know abt it.. will install this PM on netbook
[17:17] <hoverbear> grusum: :)
[17:22] <hoverbear> grusum: Other things to make sure you're using include pm-utils, and laptop-mode-tools
[17:28] <grusum> hoverbear: thanks - will do.. have a good weekend
[17:29] <hoverbear> grusum: You too
[17:35] <pm2> Hello - I just did an upgrade to Natty, and everything worked except nspluginviewer, which is preventing me from upgrading flash player.  When I do apt-get install nspluginviewer, I get a seg fault with "exit status 139".  Here's the output from apt-get: http://pastebin.com/vD0u87Fe
[17:35] <pm2> Any ideas on what the problem might be?
[18:43] <hoverbear> Darn,
[18:44] <hoverbear> Getting horrible power consumption with kubuntu
[18:55] <amichair> is it possible to have an exfat usb disk behave like other usb disks, i.e. pop up a notification when it is connected, with options to mount, unmount, etc.?
[19:14] <seawolf> amichair http://udev-notify.learnfree.eu/
[19:21] <amichair> seawolf: thanks, can u find the documentation anywhere? or do you know from your own experience that it works with exfat and has a mount button available (screenshots don't show any actions, only notification message)?
[19:26] <hoverbear> Using kubuntu my computer won't properly power off from within kde, it just keeps rebooting
[20:21] <PythonSnake> Hi Ddpbf
[20:21] <PythonSnake> :)
[20:21] <Ddpbf> PythonSnake: hi
[20:22] <Ddpbf> PythonSnake: you asked yesterday how to speed up KDE?
[20:23] <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.
[20:24] <Ddpbf> hoverbear: you could regulatte with power devil
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <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?
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <Ddpbf> you could tryay newer or older kernel
[20:31] <Ddpbf> in natty
[20:32] <hoverbear> I mean, they're working, but it seems like the settings are being reversed by kde
