[00:18] anyone here want to help me out with some cli stuff [00:19] I need to meove some files and rename them [00:19] I need to move some files and rename them === okami is now known as raevin [00:30] hey does anyone know when kde 4.7 will be pushed out? [00:39] just did a fresh install of 11.04 kubuntu, using my old home dir from 10.10. every time I try to install something with apt-get, it fails to download packages the 1st two times, but works on the 3rd try. any ideas what is going on? [01:00] hi [01:01] hi there.. when will kde sc 4.7 available for kubuntu 11.04? [01:01] is kde 4.7 available in backports? [01:01] * when will kde sc 4.7 be available for kubuntu 11.04? [01:06] Squidy: when it is done :) [01:06] lol [01:07] Squidyiirc they are packaging it as we type, after getting it into 11.10 first (as is the norm for Kubuntu) [01:08] I would guess tomorrow perhaps, but i have been wrong before :) [01:08] claydoh: ok dude.. thank you for explanation [01:09] Squidy: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/Packaging [01:10] phoenix_firebrd: nice [01:11] Squidy: we all are eager :) [01:12] it's true.. =D [01:17] so we're not going to see 4.7 in repos until 11.10? [01:18] Squidy: i found that kde 4.7 may probably available today http://old.nabble.com/KDE-4.7-td32156256.html [01:21] perhaps tomorrow morning we will have good news.. === Betrug is now known as Jessic[a] [01:54] * Jessic[a] is away: Gone away for now === Jessic[a] is now known as Betrug [02:04] * Betrug is back.

[02:34] ubuntu4shane: it looks like the updates are already installed, and require a reboot? [02:34] claydoh: no, because it says, there are 6 updates available [02:35] this is on my laptop, on my desktop, it is has the normal thing, this one is odd. [02:35] dunno, go to kpackagekit and update there [02:35] right-click on the icon may allow you to turn it off maybe [02:43] i just checked and i got updates too, but for soup... [02:43] try rebooting ans the updates my not recognize or show or whatnot until you reboot? [02:44] ? no this is an on going problem. It happens all the time. This laptop has been rebooted, and updated many times, but the gui update thing isn't the normal KDE Kubuntu update notifier, it is odd. [02:45] what is it? did you have another ubuntu system installed then you installed kde over it? [02:45] I guess I didn't make that clear, and it isn't a big deal, as I just usually update via cli, however I would like it to look right for the rare time I'm tired and lazy and just want to click my way through an update [02:45] raevin: I may have, I don't remember, with this computer what I did. [02:46] how can I setup a visual bell? [02:46] There must be a config file somewhere, that is really what I'm curious about [02:46] ubuntu4shane: could poke around in /etc/apt/sources.list [02:46] ubuntu4shane: might be old records or something in there? [02:46] raevin: no, that is just the sources, been in there many times [02:47] I'm talking about the gui updater appearance isn't right it is weird. [02:47] cypha: System Settings > Application and System Notifications [02:47] and wrong options [02:47] ubuntu4shane: could also try reinstalling kpackagekit then? i know it's not a big deal, just throwing out possible helps lol [02:47] ubuntu4shane: ah, sorry, can you maybe screenshot it? [02:47] raevin: perhaps that would work, is kpackagekit in charge of the update thing? [02:48] ubuntu4shane: kpackagekit is the package manager for kubuntu :D not sure how new it is, just recently started using kubuntu again [02:48] raevin: that would have been a great idea, I updated via cli, next time an update comes in though I will try to remember to do that. [02:48] ubuntu4shane: can do it now even, i just dunno the cli commands for reinstalling anything [02:49] raevin: I'm with you there, been with Kubuntu for a little bit now, but not super kde knowledgeable [02:49] ubuntu4shane: lol, i used to until i ran into windows-only needs and stuff, been a good year or so, if not longer. but, glad i can help out someone :D [02:53] e_t_: was that for me?? seems that is what I want, but I don't understand how to fix my setting [02:57] It wasn't. Though I'm glad if it helps. [02:58] ubuntu4shane: you say the the gui updater looks "weird". Can you post a screenshot of what "weird" looks like? [03:14] hi [03:14] how conect me to irc hispano?

[03:52] my bad. [03:56] I had my system crash a couple of days ago and could no longer login via the KDE login screen. It would accept my username/password, but then flash and come back into the login screen again. [03:56] I can drop out to a terminal and do sudo startx and get in that way, but then I am logged in as root instead of my user. [03:57] dpeach: don't use sudo. You should be able to startx as a normal user. [03:57] I was running 10.04. I installed 11.04 tonight hoping that a new system would get me up and running. But I have the same problem. Since I am still using the same home directory, it must be something in my user profile. [03:57] thanks e_t_, it isn't that. I can't login using startx as a user. [03:57] I get the same login loop. === Betrug is now known as Jessic[a] [03:58] * Jessic[a] is away: Gone away for now === Jessic[a] is now known as Betrug [03:58] * Betrug is back. [03:59] dpeach: Try this: log in on the console, then "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-bak" then startx [03:59] Betrug: Many people in the *buntu channels strongly dislike away messages. [03:59] ok. give me a sec and I will let you know. [04:02] screen went black like X is trying to start, but there is no hard drive activity. [04:03] Does X eventually die? [04:03] so far, no. I hit cnt alt f7 and it is hung on "starting automatic crash report generation [fail]" [04:04] cnt alt f1 says "No protocol specified" and is scrolling the message (I think) [04:04] yes, it is scrolling [04:06] cnt alt backspace isn't working to kill X. I had it setup in my previous install to kill X though I know Kubuntu did not have that enabled by default, so it may not work because of installing the new release. [04:06] where can I create a keyboard shortcut for Run Command? [04:06] ok, back to terminal 1 [04:07] In the end it says "xinit: server errror" "xauth: error in locking authority file /home/david/.Xauthority" [04:07] cypha: Alt+F2 is the default shortcut for Run Command. [04:07] ok, I guess that'll work [04:07] i still don't see where to change it though [04:07] and what exactly is that run command app called? [04:08] so I can call it from terminal, for example [04:09] cypha: It is called Krunner. All keyboard shortcuts can be configured from System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures. For any sort of configuration in KDE, /always/ check System Settings. [04:09] e_t_: looking at my home directory, there is no .kde folder now. I assumed it was supposed to recreate it. But it did not. [04:10] Should I try rebooting the machine and see if it recreates the .kde folder? [04:10] e_t_, out of curiosity, is there a way to always get to the search box in kde apps? [04:10] like in system settings [04:10] ...I mean a kb shortcut to [04:11] dpeach: actually, I wanted you to move .kde to .kde-bak, but after I posted it occurred that it does look visually similar to remove, which seems to be what happened. [04:11] I did mv [04:11] I have the .kde-bak folder. [04:11] e_t_, i don't see krunner listed in system shortcuts [04:14] dpeach: I was operating under the assumption that KDE was crashing and dumping you back to the login screen. The .kde directory contains all KDE configurations, so removing it (or moving it) sets everything back to defaults. It is only recreated when you successfully log into KDE (console doesn't do it). Definitely try rebooting and see if that clears up the X problems. [04:14] when I tried to do startx again as user then I saw an error that it 'failed to load GLX extensions...something, something, something'. I guess it is hanging on a video driver maybe. [04:15] ok. here goes. [04:16] cypha: Global Keyboard Shortcuts tab and you want "Run Command Interface" [04:16] dpeach: What's your video card? [04:16] uh, small. maybe green. uh. Don't know. [04:16] let me check. [04:17] dpeach: I mean AMD/ATI or nVidia or Intel [04:17] e_t_: it is an Intel Corp Mobile GM965/GL960 [04:17] Intel [04:18] I think the error I saw was trying to load an nVidia driver. [04:18] I rebooted and keep getting the login loop. [04:18] I have not tried jumping out to console and logging in that way again. [04:18] I can do that and get the exact error. [04:19] e_t_: doing startx this time seems to be getting me somewhere. [04:20] Using vlc, when I use PulseAudio the sound eventually becomes delayed. When I use ALSA or OSS, the audio may or may not be delayed (haven't gotten far enough to tell), but if I pause the video and then unpause, the audio is gone [04:20] any ideas? [04:20] oh thanks [04:20] e_t_ ^^ [04:20] never know what to look for in global [04:21] nevermind [04:21] this is happening with pulseaudio as well (the pause unpause thing) [04:21] I still got an '(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)' when I look at terminal 1. X seems to want to start, but it is hung further into the process. [04:21] cypha: A little exploration almost always pays off. [04:22] dpeach: Do you have an /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file? [04:22] e_t_: no, I don't. [04:23] terminal 7 (f7) made it past the Stopping automatic crash report generation this time. It now hung on Checking battery state. [04:23] going to reboot again and see if I get a little further. [04:24] e_t_, I love exploring! just didn [04:24] 't see that [04:24] crap [04:25] dev suggestion appears to be to use vlc 1.2 [04:25] I don't see any ppas for vlc 1.2.... [04:26] dpeach: Intel graphics (besides GMA500) should "just work" in Linux. The errors you're getting make me think that your install is really buggered. [04:26] well... [04:26] If you only knew. :-) [04:27] n/m, found one, lol [04:27] we'll see if this helps [04:27] dpeach: I've always done fresh installs. It eliminates random weird problems (for me) and forces me to have current backups. [04:27] What happened was that i was recovering some files from a friends hard drive that he deleted. I didn't expect the files to be so much space. It quickly filled up the 50 GB I had available on my drive and then locked up my system. Someone on here helped me a couple of nights ago to get started again, but I have not been able to get into X with my user since. [04:28] e_t_, how can I make the krunner always on top? [04:28] cypha: What do you mean? [04:28] My drive got filled up and then the system became so unstable it would not delete files. [04:29] i have tilda terminal open and krunner gets hidden under it [04:29] dpeach, start with x off [04:29] I did a fresh install this evening, but kept my /home directory in place. [04:29] cypha: I can start into the console, but then startx won't get the system going. [04:30] dpeach, after deleting the files you needed to delete, then just restart with X [04:30] btw, e_t_ rebooting didn't get me any further on this go around. [04:31] cypha: I deleted the files a couple of nights ago. Since then I could not get X going again. [04:31] oh [04:31] maybe you deleted something important? [04:31] I just did an install of the newest release over my 10.04 installation. [04:31] cypha: Try using yakuake instead of tilda. [04:31] oh wow [04:31] i dunno [04:32] e_t_, yakuake is also on top of it [04:32] i have both installed [04:32] cypha: the only things I deleted were the files I was recovering from my friend's drive. [04:32] i just don't know how to get to the custom window settings for it [04:32] cypha: Press Alt+F2 again, and krunner should come to the top again. [04:32] e_t_, nope [04:32] e_t_: do you think if I created a basic xorg.conf file I could get this up and running.? [04:33] And can I create one with a fancy little command line tool? [04:33] dpeach, you could try, couldn't hurt [04:33] that, i don't know [04:34] e_t_ seems knowledgeable, he might [04:34] dpeach: No. Xorg.conf is an ugly monster. Everything is detected automatically now. I was just thinking that if you had a spurious Xorg.conf that was trying to use nvidia drivers, that might explain what was happening. [04:35] no. that ain't it. [04:35] * e_t_ is probably not as knowledgeable as he seems. [04:35] what is the grep command to dig through my /home directory to look for any xorg.conf files that I might have lying around from old installs? [04:36] The odd thing is that I can start X as root. So I know that it should be working fine. It is as a user it won't start. [04:36] You'd actually use find for that. >> find /home/dpeach -name "Xorg.conf" << [04:37] dpeach: maybe xorg is root only [04:37] * Linkmaster suggests a 'sudo chown dpeach /home' perhaps [04:38] The X server is always run as root (rootless X is in the works), but should be started by a user. [04:42] did not find one on my search. [04:43] How do I check and see what my UID is? [04:43] dpeach: the id command [04:43] I remember a few years ago I switched from one system to another and my UID changed and locked me out of everything. I don't think that is the problem now. [04:43] gce nrrto pcidy [04:43] oops [04:44] uid looks right [04:44] * dpeach is typing with QWERTY on one keyboard and Dvorak on another. [04:44] Fedora/RHEL give the first user a ~500 uid. Ubuntu uses ~1000. [04:45] 1000 is what I got here. [04:45] * dpeach wonders if he creates a whole new user if he could get into X. Then move stuff as necessary. [04:46] CLI skills rusty. Time to hit the Google on how to create a new user at command line. [04:46] dpeach: Do you have sufficient external space to back up your /home ? If so, back it up, fresh install, and copy back only the files you need/want. [04:47] Actually did a full backup before I started this. But I never like to trust my backup. [04:47] I may have to do that though. [04:47] That's what I'd do. [04:48] As for creating a user, >> sudo useradd $name << and >> sudo passwd $name << [04:49] e_t_, not really a kde question, but how can I get Tilda to run with screen and then irssi on start? Tilda has an option to run a custom command instead of the shell. What command allows me to run the shell, and then screen, and then Irssi? [04:50] because I presume you have to run shell before screen [04:52] cypha: I know nothing about tilda. You actually don't need a shell to run terminal apps. If you give 'screen' or 'irssi' as the custom command, they will open fine, but the terminal window will close if you exit, rather than giving you back a shell. [04:52] ohh, gotcha [04:56] wtf, i swear it didn't work last time i tried it [04:56] ok. I am going to wipe it all and install fresh and restore from my backup. [04:56] But that will come in the morning. [04:56] e_t_, gracias [04:56] thanks e_t_! [04:58] e_t_, when I search for stuff in krunner, it shows the app and then "run appname" [04:58] what's the difference? [04:58] "run appname" seems to open it a lot faster though [05:00] The app name references a .desktop file that can include a bunch of variables and information about the app. The run $app just runs it with no options, as if you'd typed it into a terminal. [05:00] Hey guys, I recently moved from ubuntu to kubuntu by doing a clean install of natty. I've been having problems with startup programs. For some reason on every start deluge, dolphin, chrome, synaptiks and kmixer runs. I've not found where I could disable them from auto start [05:01] e_t_, how can I have the "run appname" start with the computer? [05:03] cypha: From System Settings > Startup and Shutdown, you can start programs as soon as you log into KDE. [05:03] e_t_, starting tilda from a terminal window by typing "tilda" doesn't work [05:04] so can I find out how exactly "run tilda" is doing it? [05:04] that way I can add exactly that to the startup and shutdown options [05:05] cypha: When I click Add Program, I get a menu from which to select the program to run. Try to find tilda in there. [05:05] how risky is removing pulseaudio on a kubuntu install? [05:06] pulseaudio + vlc is (apparently?) causing audio lag [05:06] and vlc/oss have their own issues [05:08] e_t_, it opens slowly when opening it from the launcher menu [05:09] i'm guessing that's how it would open if i selected it in add program [05:09] cypha: It's probably loading a bunch of GNOME libraries. What I'd do is use yakauke in KDE and tilda in GNOME. [05:10] e_t_, tilda loads super duper fast if I launch it using "run tilda" within krunner [05:10] i just type tilda [05:10] and it shows "run tilda" [05:11] in fact, if I type "run tilda", nothing shows up [05:11] e_t_, i need both yakuake and tilda [05:12] that's why i wanna know what exactly this "run appname" option is doing each time [05:12] cypha: krunner assumes you're entering a command. If you type "run $app" it thinks you want to run the run command (which doesn't exist) with the option $app. [05:12] Why do you need two drop-down terminals? [05:12] i use tilda for irssi exclusively [05:13] and I use yakuake for actual terminal stuff [05:18] e_t_, any idea what this run command does in front? [05:20] If you are referring to the krunner result, it is as I said before: the command is run as if you typed it into a terminal. [05:21] anyone knows shen to expect kde 4.7 final packages for natty? [05:22] The 4.7 packages are already in staging, so it shouldn't bee too long. [05:23] e_t_: All of them? [05:23] e_t_, any how to run tilda from terminal!? [05:23] in your menu find an app called konsole [05:23] then type in tilda [05:24] compugirl_, that works for you? [05:24] yes [05:24] (tilda:9332): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_insert_internal: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed [05:24] is that the output [05:26] cypha: have you installed gtk libraries [05:26] i dunno [05:26] I had regular ubuntu before [05:26] and then I got the kde-desktop package [05:26] cuz gnome had issues [05:26] compugirl_: I don't know about all. Also, they are very fresh -- only a few hours old. The Kubuntu devs seem to be a cautious bunch (wholly positive), so they'd probably like to do some testing. [05:26] i didn't uninstall gnome though [05:26] cypha: did you uninstall regular ubuntu? [05:26] no [05:27] just got the kde desktop package [05:27] e_t_: they aren't always the most cautious..they were the lead dogs for KDE4 :P the first distro to push it forwards [05:27] compugirl_, it's not like tilda doesn't work [05:27] cypha: could you check if it runs under gnome [05:28] just can't start it from the CL [05:28] the DE shouldn't matter [05:28] e_t_, any ideas? [05:28] cypha; why don't you use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakuake [05:29] i do [05:31] cypha: did you try http://yakuake.kde.org/ [05:31] sorry connection dropped [05:31] compugirl_, yes, i use that already [05:32] cypha: What I'd do is start screen in yakuake and have multiple screen tabs started from your .screenrc file. You can then have an irssi tab in screen, without needing tilda. [05:32] yes, i'm aware of that [05:32] but this is the way that works best for my situation [05:32] what is the output from tilda when you start from cl again? [05:33] (tilda:9440): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed [05:34] ok, i just uninstalled and reinstalled [05:34] and i still get an error, but at least it runs now from terminal [05:34] albeit, a little different: (tilda:9692): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_file_chooser_select_filename: assertion `filename != NULL' failed [05:35] cypha: so problems solved? [05:35] Gnome apps are usually pretty noisy when run from the terminal. [05:36] oh ok, that would explain that [05:36] yes compugirl_, thanks for the help [05:36] you too e_t_ [05:36] no problem [05:41] [05:41] ok, I marked tilda for complete uninstallation, and still, when I reinstall, the old shortcut still loads it with my previous appearance settings (set within the application) [05:42] Can anyone give me guidelines on how to start developing on kubuntu. Currently I have experience on windows using vb.net and c# with .net4 [05:42] look for a .tilda folder in your home folder and delete it [05:43] ...in fact, the default shortcut is able to load the new instance of tilda with the app's default appearance [05:43] grr, vlc-1.2.0 ppa = explode [05:43] anyone know of a non-videolan ppa for vlc 1.2.0? [05:44] but you can delte your old shortcut and start setting tilda from scratch? [05:45] PinkPrincess: those languages are pretty Window-specific. You might find your answer here: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/GettingInvolved/Development [05:45] yeah, i guess [05:46] et_:my goal is to use qt so I guess I have to learn C++ first [05:47] e_t_: I can get around easily programming on windows so how long to you think it will take me to know how to make mid size qt apps [05:49] note: KDE provides c# bindings for qt and kde, though I'm not sure how to use them [05:49] c++ would be native of course [05:50] PinkPrincess: I am not a programmer. [05:50] what command starts a shell? [05:50] from the terminal [05:50] cypha: bash [05:50] yofel: using mon? [05:50] mono [05:50] thanks e_t_ [05:50] yes [05:52] yofel:which is more practical C# and mono with QT bindings, C++ and qt, python and pykde? [05:52] e_t_, how would I make this a valid command: bash screen irssi [05:53] screen irssi works fine, and bash works fine, but all together no [05:53] no idea, I'm not a c# programmer. C++ and Qt works best IMO, as for pykde it's the question whether you want a scripting language or not, python is a nice language though [05:54] yofel: C++ should be mastered well before using qt? [05:55] morning [05:55] you should know c++, even if you use the Qt4 API, it's still c++ (well, except for QML) [05:55] moin soee [05:55] hi yofel, you already working ? :D [05:56] nope, not at home, will continue once I get home [05:56] ok so i will not ask about kde 4.7 :F [05:56] :D [05:58] yofel: so how long did it take you to get started with c++ [05:58] and is qml like WPF XAML in windows [05:58] cypha: If you already have a shell, you don't need another one. Just run screen, and have "screen irssi screen bash" in your .screenrc file. (press Enter instead of typing ) [06:00] e_t_, my purpose is that when I end the irssi session, that the terminal window doesn't just sit there...i want it to go back to bash [06:00] PinkPrincess_: heh, I haven't used QML much and I have no idea what WPF XAML is. As for c++, if you know programming it shouldn't be hard, though the time depends on you ofc. [06:00] if I don't specify bash, the terminal window ends (or can restart) [06:00] PinkPrincess_: #qt can probably help you more there, or #kde-devel for kde questions [06:05] hi folks [06:05] any ideas when the kde 4.7 will be abailable for ubuntu 11.04 ? [06:05] cypha: If you do as I suggest, screen will start two tabs, one with irssi and one with a shell. If you close one, it will automatically switch to the other. [06:07] e_t_, oh, clever workaround [06:09] also, you can start arbitrarily many programs that way. You could add mutt, top, netstat -c, etc. [06:12] e_t_, that would make screen always start like that [06:12] That's not desirable [06:12] i only want that for this one app [06:13] YES [06:13] FINALLY [06:13] Then name the file something beside .screenrc. When you want the special configuration, run "screen -c /path/to/config" [06:13] e_t_, it was a bash thing [06:14] command: bash -c "screen irssi; bash" [06:43] Anyone knows how to use google gadgets in plasma? [06:54] How do I install KDE 4.7 in natty? [06:54] Are packages available or should I compile? [06:57] kubuntugirl: wait 1 or 2 days and you will have it in kubuntu bacports [06:58] hmm compiling would be faster [07:24] when can we expect kde 4.7 in ppa's [07:26] yofel: When can we expect kde 4.7 debs in ppa's === gplracer is now known as Kauli === Kauli is now known as gplracer === max is now known as Guest76913 === bill is now known as __pulse__ [08:35] someone told me to run "rm -rf /" in terminal to boost performance. I did it , the pc froze and now kubuntu does not boot. Can anyone help me [08:36] girl: Who told you that? [08:36] my bf [08:36] girl: Did you also run that with sudo? [08:36] yes [08:36] im on xp now [08:37] You're cooked, install again since that, in windows terms, removed your C:\ drive [08:37] unti193:any solution to my problem [08:37] unit193: I don't quite understand? [08:40] girl: That is a bad command rm = remove -f = force -r = recursive / = top of the drive / root [08:41] Unit193: what can I do to recover [08:43] girl: I don't think you can recover from that [08:44] !crosspost | girl [08:44] girl: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [08:44] Take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?a=54 [08:44] Unit193: Thanks for the help, I was tricked actually, I was told to run a script and that was hidden in the script, I an exprienced with ubuntu and know about the danger of it [08:45] Unit193: I was looking for recovery options like some apps can undelte in windows [08:46] Maybe testdisk [08:47] bazhang: [12:44] !crosspost | girl??? [08:48] girl: see what ubottu told you (: [08:48] girl, you already got answers in #ubuntu . [08:48] and you already solved the problem! [08:48] Tm_T:, bazhang: OK I got it my problem is solved [08:48] Thanks [08:49] Can I install Kubuntu without a cd Drive? [08:50] I have Kubuntu hoary iso [08:54] can anyone help. I have a Kubuntu hoary iso on windows how can I install without a cd drive [08:54] girl: sure, from a memory drive, for example. [08:54] girl: (k)ubuntu ships a tool to create an installer on a usb stick. dunno if it's available for windows, google should help. [08:55] torch:kubuntu hoary is old and does not have that tool [08:55] ^^ unetbootin can create install the iso to a flash drive on windows [09:05] Ok I installed Kubuntu 11.04 How can I upgrade KDE to version 4.7.0 [09:07] girl: wait for packages, they will show up in backports soon i think [09:07] You can't yet, should be out later today [09:08] yofel:, soee: Thanks I will wait ... But on oneirc testing build are they available or is it only rc1? [09:08] brb need to restart browser [09:17] how do I get a bell in Konsole? [10:06] can something like this be done in kde? http://daniel1992.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/changing-the-libnotify-theme/ [10:07] cypha: notifications in KDE do follow your KDE theming, it has no means to have its own theming (that I can think of) [10:08] Tm_T: what part of the kde theme targets those same notifications? [10:08] cypha: I do not know [10:08] cypha: possibly plasma theme [10:08] huh? [10:09] I see notifications so rarely [10:09] i mean, what section would I alter to affect the notifications [10:11] cypha: I would assume systemsettings -> Workspace appearance -> Desktop theme -> Details tab [10:11] is the place to look at, you might notice there's no "notifications" item [10:11] yeah, i did [10:13] hi all. I just installed kubuntu 11.4 and it is fantastic. so good to linux come this far on the desktop. I'm having probs with skype and have uninstalled it. I want to talk to the folks using a webcam. they have win xp. any recommendations as to what software to use? My cam seems to work ok with kubuntu. [10:13] cypha: unfortunately that's as far as I know about the issue [10:14] !webcam [10:14] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [10:14] no prob [10:14] thanks for the input [10:14] np [10:19] paul1957x: what was the problem with skype ? [10:19] for me works fine [10:20] video was fine but no sound from the mic [10:21] I'm just reading up on Empathy. might be worth a try [10:36] well that was easy.
