SIR_Tacoyofel: well yes... but it's not general Linux fire.. but Gentoo lava....00:00
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRor gentoo cause that wat he was on00:00
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRwell least i knew a bit when i installed ubuntu00:01
yofelwell, setting something up you're familiar with is easy, so that was his reason probably00:01
yofelbut we're getting offtopic here -> #kubuntu-offtopic00:01
BarkingFishI also need it to watch my birth country's parliament when it's in session.00:01
SIR_Tacotrue00:01
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRlol00:01
KaleidoscopeJudging by the sudden silence, There's nothing ontopic to talk about00:03
snooffyguys, i know this was asked and answered many times, but from your experience, will i gain a huge power if i install 64 bit kubuntu on my intel e6600 with 4GB RAM? Is there still lots of apps not supporting 64bit systems based on Linux?00:03
=== ironfroggy_ is now known as Guest31283
Kaleidoscopesnooffy, I'm runnin 64bit And I've never had a problem yet00:04
yofelthere's some chance of running into issues with flash, other than that 64bit will work fine00:04
KaleidoscopePerformance wise, It's nothing major, there's slight performance gain, but not that noteworthy00:04
Kaleidoscopeyofel, there is?00:04
KaleidoscopeAs far as I can tell, Flash is runnin beautifully00:05
snooffyyofel: read about the flash, but thats probably an obsolete worry right?00:05
yofelthere are people with problems, I run the native 64bit pre-release of flash here so no issues here.00:05
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRyeah flash runs fine on 64bit00:05
OerHekssame here00:05

SIR_Tacoit's close to what runs my hockey pool website00:13
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRnforce amd builds run like solid rocks00:13
snooffythats the only reason I'm still keeping my w7 partition - bloody games... why these mega gaming companies like EA doesn't make their software for linux as well as for win? the amount of potentional customers its pretty high now and i guess still more and more people switch to a nice distros based on linux00:14
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRyeah if they would make native linux games i wouldnt use windows really00:14
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRprob only for sound egineering00:14
snooffyexactly00:14
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRand could do most of that on linux00:14
Kaleidoscopelol, I barely play games anymore, So I'm probably gonna make a full switch to linux soon00:14
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRor duel boot osx on a pc00:14
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRwas thinking bout doing that getting osx running on a pc00:15
snooffyi have dual boot right now.... w7 and kubuntu, but the w7 takes so much disk space for what it can do00:15
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRbut meh00:15
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRyeah same im duel booting aswell with wubi inside windows install00:15
KaleidoscopeWhy would ya want osx?00:15
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRfor sound egineering00:16
KaleidoscopeAhh00:16
* OerHeks runs AMD Athlon II x2 - 4 gb ddr2 - GT430 fresh with Kubuntu00:16
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRmost of the programs u can get on windows anyway00:16
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRor wine them00:16
KaleidoscopeYea00:16
snooffybtw i was wandering how wubi works exactly?00:16
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRinstalls linux inside a windows file00:16
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRno partition needed00:16
snooffyit runs ubuntu like a program on w00:16
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRslight loss of disk performance00:16
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRbut u hardly notice it00:16
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRmust be like 5 percent not even00:17
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eR:P00:17
FloodBotK1]-[uNTeR^Ki||eR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.00:17
KaleidoscopeI noticed00:17
KaleidoscopeWhen I switched from Wubi to Partition, It was quite the gain00:17
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRif i was gonna properly use kubuntu and for gaming and stuff i would get a seprate drive and native install00:17
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRbut its only really for normal use00:18
snooffyi guess for test it is quite convenient but when you want to use the system full time or at least 50/50 with win it is must be much faster to have proper partitions for linux00:18
KaleidoscopeYea00:18
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRi use to stuff around with partitions alot with my old systems i cant be stuffed doing that with my new rig00:18
KaleidoscopeWhy not?00:19
KaleidoscopeIt's perfectly safe00:19
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRyeah just dont want 2 :P00:19
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRim more of a windows user00:19
Kaleidoscopeahh :P00:19
KaleidoscopeI was mainly a win user also, I got win7 atm, But I'm just having so many problems that It's driving me insane00:20
snooffywell partitioning in linux is a completely different story than win00:20
Kaleidoscopesnooffy, it is?00:20
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRhmmm win7 is great for me :D00:20
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRbest win os for sure00:20
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eR:P00:20
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRbesides XP00:20
snooffyKaleidoscope: is it not :)00:20
snooffygparted is just great..00:21
Kaleidoscopesnooffy, Nah, I mess with partitions all the time with no trouble really00:21
KaleidoscopeDifferent Interface for it maybe00:21
snooffyprobably...00:21
KaleidoscopeThough I'm not gonna mess with my partitions much more, Cause one of these times I'm gonna end up just messing up my Win7 install, And then it's gone for good00:22
snooffyfor win I'm using EASUS partition master which is a free sw and makes partitioning almost as easy as in kde ;D00:23
KaleidoscopeI Totally tried that one once00:23
KaleidoscopeWas alright00:23
KaleidoscopeHA00:24
KaleidoscopeI loaded up a japanese MP3 in VLC, It went insane00:24
KaleidoscopeIt couldn't figure out the duration of the song00:24
snooffybtw cannot get my audigy 4 running 7.1 on kubuntu and I'm bit confused from how is the sound managed in kubuntu... what is the basic layer? Alsa? and what about pulse, how that cooperates together (i have terrible sound distorsion in skype which is going through pulse)00:25
snooffyKaleidoscope: hehe00:26
KaleidoscopeAlsa is the main layer for sound00:26
KaleidoscopePulse is like an extra layer00:26
snooffylike phonon right?00:27
KaleidoscopeYou can mess around with the settings of both though, You might can find a good spot00:27
snooffythey work beside are are not depend on each other right?00:27
KaleidoscopeI don't believe so, Infact I think when I installed Kubuntu, Pulse didn't even install00:28
snooffythere is plenty settings, probably will have to spend one of the english rainy afternoons with it to have it playing right...00:28
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRlol00:28
snooffyKaleidoscope: i dont know about pulse and kubuntu install, but when i installed the latest skype beta there is only pulse in its audio setting00:28
KaleidoscopeOh really?00:28
snooffyyeah00:29
KaleidoscopeI don't use skype, So I'm not to sure bout it's setup, so ye00:29
Kaleidoscopethere might be a way to make it go through Alsa, Though I'm not too sure bout it00:29
KaleidoscopeIs skype the only audio problems you have, or are other things messy as well?00:30
snooffyno only skype is distorted big time . Well and my 7.1 sound card can play 2.1 properly only00:30
KaleidoscopeCan or can't?00:30
snooffybut i'm sure it just needs bit of digging and googling00:31
snooffyit can play 2.1 but i cannot get the satelite speakers working at all00:31
KaleidoscopeYea, just whip open Pulse Audio control, You should be able to get it goin smoothly00:31
snooffyin the sound setup there is a lots of options for 5.1, 7.1 but none of them work, only one which works is stereo digital00:32
KaleidoscopeYou usin a laptop or desktop?00:32
snooffynone of the analog 7.1 or 5.1 work for me... also there is 1 weird thing i have sb audigy 4 and in output devices there is audigy 2 only (audigy 4 is all over input devices)... I have a desktop00:32
snooffywas searching for a different driver but crerative website supports i believe win only :\00:33
snooffyi would not mind to install a propriate driver if there will be one ..........00:33
KaleidoscopeWell, there is an extra thing you can add on to the Alsabse.conf file, if it has an option for your particular sound driver00:34
snooffywhich is?00:34
Kaleidoscopeone sec00:34
snooffyshame i cannot check on it right now... i'm at work for gs00:34
Kaleidoscopegs?00:35

snooffyKaleidoscope: ho often you hang around here m8?02:20
KaleidoscopeKinda new, But I'm gonna try to hang out as much as I can so I can help if I can, and learn new stuff also02:20
snooffyI would try to sort the sound card prob I told you about earlier in the afternoon and might need an extra hand :D but pbbly will formated 1st and install 64bit....02:21
snooffyhow long are you using a linux based system?02:23
OerHekssnooffy, maybe this page is any help > https://wiki.kubuntu.org/DebuggingSoundProblems02:30
KaleidoscopeI've used linux off an on for nearly a year now02:36

yanwen_ok02:38
KaleidoscopeYou sent him to another channel, and conidering you can barely find people online here, He's gonna get like no help :(02:42
KaleidoscopeWhoever owns this channel needs to add a new bot, One that kicks those that have been idle for like more than 6 hours, That way we can remove some of the clutter in the online list02:46
KaleidoscopeCourse then the online users list would only have like 15-20 people on it =P02:47
OerHeks i told him in chinese, we speak english only, and helped him to a chinese, free taiwanese or hongkong support channel.02:49
KaleidoscopeYea, I know, Which was cool02:50
KaleidoscopeI'm kinda just ranting on all the dead people here02:50
OerHekssome chinese do speak better grammar than i do.02:50
KaleidoscopeI imagine your Chinese is minimal, So would make sense02:51
OerHekstrue.02:52
KaleidoscopeBut don't you agree we should clear out the dead from here?02:52
KaleidoscopeGives off a false sense of hope02:52

razeranyone around?03:02
KaleidoscopeBarely03:02
KaleidoscopeWhatcha need?03:02
razeri upgraded to the bleeding edge stuff and now compositing isnt working03:03
razernot much turns up on google03:03
KaleidoscopeWhich program you using?03:04
razertrying to get kwin to composite03:04
razersystem settings?03:05
KaleidoscopeNot likely, But you can look around there03:05
Kaleidoscopetry to disable the functionality checks. You find it via alt+f3 in any opened window -> settings -> desktop effects -> advanced03:06
KaleidoscopeTry that\03:06
KaleidoscopeHunter =)03:06
]-[uNTeR^Ki||eRey :)03:07
razerwonn't let me, just sayxs failed to activate03:08
Kaleidoscopehmm03:09
Kaleidoscopetry this03:09
KaleidoscopeTry checking "Enable direct rendering" in Desktop Effects>advanced. Then if the compositing is still disabled force it on with Alt+Shift+F1203:09
razernope03:09
razertried compiz and it wouldnt even turn on :\03:10
Kaleidoscopechange "Texture Filter:" to "Bilinear" in the Advanced section of Desktop Effects,03:11
KaleidoscopeIf that don't work, You might have to re install your video card driver, sometimes new updates can corrupt it03:11
snooffyKaleidoscope: for the dead people, cant you get op here?03:11
KaleidoscopeFar as I know, There's no OP's, Atleast, I've never seen any03:12
snooffyFloodBotK1 is an op03:12
KaleidoscopeHe don't count03:12
KaleidoscopeBecause he can't help here03:12
snooffyof cours he does;D03:12
snooffyhe can give you op:D03:12
Kaleidoscopelol03:12
razerKaleidoscope: sorry i dont have txtures filter option, but i'll try reinstalling03:12
Kaleidoscope@FloodbotK1, OP meh ^^03:13
KaleidoscopeAlright, Lemme know if it works03:13
Unit193There are ops here, they just only op when there is a reason to03:15
KaleidoscopeWell there's reason too03:15
Kaleidoscopeto*03:15
KaleidoscopeWe have a massive pile of dead people, A lil over 200 of em03:15
KaleidoscopeAs I said, They could atleast add it to FloodBot's abilities, have him check Idles, And if it's over so many hours, Kick03:16
KaleidoscopeLike see, Debg just joined, And appearantly joined for no reason whatsoever03:17
Unit193Kaleidoscope: People sleep, go on vacation, get sick, etc. There is no need to kick them for that03:18
KaleidoscopeAny luck, Razer?03:18
KaleidoscopeUnit193, Well even then, There's no reason for them to be here03:18
razerKaleidoscope: works wihtout the nvidia drivers03:18
razerKaleidoscope: going to try reinstalling next :d03:19
KaleidoscopeOk cool03:19
KaleidoscopeCause I mean Seriously, If you go on Vacation, Why bother leaving the IRC connected, Not like you need to save a spot or anything03:19
debgKaleidoscope: I am so sorry , I joined, I will disconnect since you are having an issue with dead people ..03:20
KaleidoscopeSee, He needed nothing, Now we have one less falsie in here03:21
KaleidoscopeI think he took it wrong though >.>03:21
snooffyso what? shall he need something he can always join, he hasn't got a ban :D03:25
KaleidoscopeExactly03:25
snooffyKaleidoscope: but why would you care about the people hanging here anyway?03:26
snooffyit doesn't do anything wrong or does it?03:26
KaleidoscopeIt's just because when I first got Linux and needed help, I joined IRC, and was like Wow 200 people, I should get help pretty quick, But it took me FOUR HOURS to get a response from someone03:26
KaleidoscopeI just feel if you're not in need of help, Or not here to offer help, You shouldn't be here03:27
Unit193Remember, just because it's a handy time for you, doesn't mean it's not the middle of the night for others03:27
KaleidoscopeAgain, If it's the middle of the night, And they'r sleeping or something, They need not be here03:28
snooffythey might be storing logs for their top secret conspiracy work03:28
KaleidoscopeI got a general rule of thumb, If I'm gonna be afk for more than 30 minutes, I'll exit out of IRC03:28
Unit193This may be better for offtopic03:29
snooffyUnit193: u right03:29
KaleidoscopeThat place is deader than here, If possible03:29

ct529hi! What is the best way to show RSS rolling on the screen , so that when you see one of them it is taken off the list?06:33
DaskreechJane1: fsck ?06:40
Daskreechct529: Akregator?06:40
Jane1Daskreech no use06:40
DaskreechJane1: well not for ntfs obviously06:41
DaskreechYou need windows for that06:41
Jane1ya but its not working for ext4 either06:43
Jane1where are the mountpoints written and seved in linux. its not booting coz i mounted ntfs. i want to unmount it by a live cd06:43

DaskreechJane1: /etc/fstab06:48
Jane1how to mount something one home?06:48
ct529Daskreech: It was in my original question. I need a tool or a widget that shows RSS feeds rolling on the screen, and that makes one item disappear once you have clicked read it.06:57
Daskreechct529: I've never tried it but I heard there is a akregator plasmoid06:57
DaskreechI know there is a RSS data engine so there are probably 3 or 4 plasmoids that do RSS06:57
DaskreechJane1: you mean on home?06:58
ct529Did not find it06:58
Daskreechct529: I guess you looked on kde-look and kde-apps ?06:58

DaskreechJane1: I don't know. What are you mounting there?07:12
Daskreechct529: just look up rss07:12
Daskreechif akregator is there it will pop up if not you will catch the other RSS stuff07:12
ct529Daskreech: of course I am doing that .... :-D .... I meant there is no widget for akgregator07:13
DaskreechJane1: You can mount any Formatted file system to any directory. Just depends on where you are keeping the filesystem07:13
Daskreechct529: Ah shame. look to see if any others have a rolling interface07:13

gwibberProblem mit Auflösungseinstellungen: Ich habe ein Notebook, an das ich im stationären Betrieb einen Monitor anschließe. Wenn der Monitor angeschlossen ist, will ich dass das Bild nur auf dem Monitor in nativer Auflösung angezeigt wird. Wenn nicht, dann auf dem Notebookbildschirm in nativer Auflösung. Wie kann ich das einstellen?09:13
gwibberMomentan ist es so: ist der Monitor angeschlossen, und das Notebook aufgeklappt, zeigen beide Monitore das Bild in nativer Auflösung des Notebooks an. Klappe ich das Notebook zu, zeigt nur der externe Monitor das Bild _in der Auflösung des Notebooks_ an09:14
gwibberWenn ich in den Einstellungen den externen Monitor als einzigen Standardmonitor festlege (nötig, um die native Auflösung zu bekommen) , zeigt KDE auf dem Notebookdisplay auch dann nichts an, wenn ich den externen Monitor trenne09:15
gwibberDas Problem ist leider extrem nervig, da es um den Unterschied 1920x1080 zu 1280x800 geht. Die native Auflösung für den externen Monitor wird auch nur bis zum nächsten neustart gespeichert09:17

millunhi, can i ask an ADSL router + Router thing?09:31
milluni bought a Dlink router to connect with an existing ADSL router09:32
millun..for internet sharing. but it won't share. ADSL is DHCP and there is one ETH cable connected to Dlink router. i even tried MAC cloning so everything should work as before but it won't connect.09:33
millunthe other option (but i do NOT know if correct, but advised somewhere) is to set Dlink as PPPoE09:34
millundo you think it might be that? because normal DHCP won't work on Dlink.... if i set it to PPPoE, the internet icon blinks green a few times... i am kind of confused09:35
moetunesmillun:  turn off dhcp in the second router09:35
millunoh09:37
millunso i should set my clients on Dlink as statically-assigned?09:38
faLUCEhi. Is there a good program with GUI that allows me to perform actions on certain conditions?   something like a GUI where I enter " when date is "12-12-2013" execute script1, execute script2" Briefly, something like an editor for scripts, but user friendly09:44
millunby second router you meant - disable DHCP on ADSL router OR disable DHCP on Dlink router? sorry for confusion09:48
James147faLUCE: kcron is a gui frontend to the systems schedular... and kate is a gui frontend to writing scripts in any language :D09:48
moetunesmillun:  use the router that connects to the net for dhcp not the second one09:49
moetunesonly one router should do dhcp09:49

milluni appreciate it, don't know much about networking..09:51
faLUCEJames147: thanks09:56

armin_hi guys.. does anyone have an idea what might cause me not being able to share any directories as user? when going in dolphin directory->share->configure file sharing does not seem to work13:59
armin_I first had to sudo to root, but then nothing appears.. and now.. later the button just greys out for a second and does nothing13:59

jimmy51_BluesKaj: heatwave here in the midwest US.  When I woke up it was already 28.5 C and muggy out, expected to rise to 38 - 40 C.  this makes me glad i'm in a lab in front of a linux machines and not installing roofing.14:19
jimmy51_oh wow.  sorry.. i hadn't scrolled.  you wrote that to me yesterday :/14:20
BluesKajjimmy51_, no kidding , even here in Northern Ontario it's 28C/84F here already , going up to 32C/91F ...we're used to the cold here , but not the heat and humidity14:22
BluesKajwe do have an A/C, since the summers here have become so much warmer in the last 10 yrs or so14:23
BluesKajso jimmy51_ , you got your boot prob fixed ok ?14:26
jimmy51_BluesKaj: yeah.  it was caused by either lilo, virtuabox, or something else.  the 11.04 upgrade failed on initramfs, the system wasn't bootable.14:30
jimmy51_i booted to the livecd, chrooted in, and yofel walked me through getting my packages back in line.14:31
jimmy51_i removed vbox 3.0, lilo, ubox, and some other things i don't even remember intsalling.14:31
jimmy51_yofel thinks it was lilo that caused it.  i had installed it to mess with bootloaders on flash media a while back and didn't need it anymore.14:32
jimmy51_then i reinstalled grub2 in the chroot'd environment.14:32
jimmy51_now i've got 11.04 it all of its goodness running.14:32

BluesKajyeah,, I recall going into a debian chat aroun 6-7 yrs ago , the fav respons to questions in the so called support chat was "RTFM NOOB"14:46
ohgahow do I correct the situation where a newly created user, with an always valid password, none the less have to enter a new password when logging in through ssh or nomachine?14:46
BluesKajhoppyite_, do you mean you want password-less access in ssh ?14:48
BluesKajoops ohga^14:48
BluesKajsoryy hoppyite_ ...wrong nick14:48
ohgano, I am setting up a password in the KDE user management, but I have to pick a new password according to the shell login..14:48
ohgaI should mention I'm doing this through a nomachine (NX) session, but I'm typing my sudo password so it should be in order...14:49
ohgathe testing of the new account I'm doing through a ssh client14:50
BluesKajnomachine (NX) session is not familiar to me , ohga ..sorry..but ssh is and afaik unless you setup pw=less access in ssh for a particular user or group , the default will always be a pw query14:52
=== alex____ is now known as gnome71
ohgayes yes, I want the password there, but it's the requirement to change it that's spooky..14:53
ohgain KDE I pick a password and have it set to "valid, always", but it seems it's not so..14:54
ohgawhen I log in with that user I'm asked to change the password....14:54
ohgaI'm a bit perplexed over what I could have changed to make this happen. I have my ordinary sudo user and one other user created before which behaves normaly14:56
BluesKajdid you change to enabled in modify user acct and not enter a pw , perhaps ?14:57
OerHeksis it a first-time-pass you setup, wich have to be changed the first time a user logs in ?14:58
ohgaI have entered a password both when creating and modifying, nothing seem to work. and I've been sure that the validity is set to always, no requirement to change is set14:59
Daskreechjimmy51_: Most people don't look at man pages15:05
BluesKajohga, perhaps a reboot ?15:07
Daskreechohga: You can set the password to be changed in certain time periods. I think15:07
ohgaI find it strange if that's required.. but I'll give it a try15:07
ohgaDaskreech: yes, but I don't want it to change..15:08
BluesKajyeah, agreed, but sometimes when it comes identities and passwords ....15:08
ohgaBluesKaj: right, how inconvenient..15:09
jimmy51_Daskreech: hehe, most likely.  they're pretty hard to read.15:09
Daskreechohga: What happens if you change it then reconnect does it require a change again?15:09
ohgaeasy now, the system is geting back up now..15:09
ohgastill asking for password change after I rebooted15:10
ohgaok, so you want me to try a dummy password and then reconnect.. I'm on it15:10
ohgaok.. I changed it, got disconnected (I guess that's by the protocol..). logging in again with new password worked..15:13
ohgabut..... why does it work this way?15:13

James147ohga: shouldn't be15:19
ohgahm... I'll try to create the user through the shell instead..15:20
ohgamissed the default shell.. how do I set it after I created the user?15:26
James147ohga: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash user   ^^ though normally /bin/bash is the default one for new users if you dont tell it one15:27
James147(that is when you create a new user it should default to /bin/bash)15:27
ohgahm.. defaults to sh on my comp..15:28
ohgaanyway, using the shell to create the users is working much better..15:30
* James147 finds the shell better for allot of things :D15:32
ohgayou're not the first one to mention that..15:33
ohgathe fact I'm interacting with KDE remotely through NX only adds to it I guess15:33
ohgaok so, thanks for the help with helping myself :-P15:42
digitigNewbie having trouble setting up print sharing on network. I've found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu but it seems that refers to a different  version of CUPS so I can't follow the instructions. Where can I find instructions that work for CUPS 1.4.4?16:20
=== skreech_ is now known as Daskreech
James147digitig: dont see why it would ahve changed that much since 10.04... what problems are you ahving when following it?16:22
digitigJames147: Well, "Select Server in the menu bar, and then Settings." -- there is no "Server" in the menu bar. "Right click on the printer you want to share and select properties" -- I right click on the printer and there's no entry "properties" in the popup menu I get...16:26
James147digitig: ^^ its describing ubuntu not kubuntu... though http://localhost:631/ should be the same on both16:28
digitigjames147: I used http://localhost:631 to open the window I'm using, but it doesn't match those instructions. I don't see how it can -- right clicks are intercepted by the browser so right clicking /can't/ give me a CUPS menu.16:30
BluesKajJames147, what about an install --reinstall of cups , would that bring it up to date including the version and config files ?16:33
James147BluesKaj: why would that be needed? he needs to configure it to do what he wants16:33
BluesKajwell, if the version wrong or out of date ...16:34
James147BluesKaj: the link describes howto do it for gnome... so it wont really matter what version of cups he has16:35
James147digitig: on http://localhost:631/ go to administration > add printers and mess aroudn with that... I cant really test it as I dont ahve a printer attached to this computer16:36
BluesKajJames147, IC...I misunderstood16:37
digitigOk, I think I've got it. The problem is that http://localhost:631 takes me to a completely different interface to the one described. K |  Computer |  System Settings | Printers takes me to the interface described.16:37

ashwinhow can i change text color inside lancelot?18:59
interestedindiviQuick question if I may... I've just been trying to copy a 14gb directory full of video files from my kubuntu machine to an external hard drive connected to a mac via samba. I use this drive all the time with no issues. The only problem is that my kubuntu machine goes to sleep during the copy. Of course I can change my power settings but surely things like playing mp3s or copying files should stop sleep from happening? Can anyone19:04
interestedindivi suggest why this might not be the case for me?19:04
interestedindivianyone got a clue?19:06
well_laid_lawnit will probably be based on user activity not running processes19:08
well_laid_lawnI don't do sleep/hibernate tho - just guessing19:08
interestedindiviI feel sure that certain processes should stop sleep from happening ordinarily19:09
well_laid_lawnthe amount of variables then could possibly be endless19:10
well_laid_lawnwho wants what and when19:11
interestedindiviI see what you are saying. I know that my mac doesn't sleep in these situations. I've never noticed this on my linux machine before but I haven't copied this much stuff and walked away before. Does seem strange.19:11
well_laid_lawnI think having a computer left on but doing nothing is strange19:12
well_laid_lawndepends on your point of view19:13
well_laid_lawn...19:13
well_laid_lawnI'm off to work19:13
interestedindiviI see it's just I'm not doing nothing I'm copying 14gb of videos to a samba server... Thanks for your ideas19:13

lcbdon't use it too often so i have no clue when/why happened23:21
lcbLinkmaster: any of the LibreOffice apps edits PDFs?23:24
Linkmasterlcb: Okular might...I'm not sure though, I don't usually use LibreOffice[just now getting used to it], and if you uninstalled any games, and it was the only one, that'd be why23:25
lcbi need to fill some fields with info. i'm an PDF editor but i wonder if that is possible23:25
lcb*i'm using a PDF ediror*23:25
lcbgrrr editor23:25
lcbLinkmaster: about the games, in fact no, didn't install - the other way, i installed a couple last week, but didn't use it yet23:26
lcbinteresting thing though. installing one or more should go to the menu, but doesn't23:27
lcbso.... no playing games while driving Internet23:28

lcbnot with GIRLS though :p23:47
lcbLinkmaster: i asked that because i miss the times in the states when/where i could get spare parts for computers for less than money and build machines23:48
