SIR_Tacono, it's personal best is 12 days at the moment and counting (but that was a hardware issue)05:17
keithzg_DasKreecH: it's an Atheros which has a known bug associated on Acer laptops apparently; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/778168 suggested blacklisting an acer module and that worked excellently :)05:26

oali installed Kubuntu on a Samsung laptop now, and it boots up fine, but 5-10 seconds after entering kde, the shadows behind windows turn solid black, and not long after, the screen also turns black09:06
oalI can still go to ctrl+alt+f6 for example, but when I go back to kde, it's still black, and I can't press ctrl+alt+f6 again. Any ideas what's causing this?09:06
bulldog98oal: what kubuntu version? and have you all upgrades for your version installed?09:11
oalKubuntu 11.04 64bit09:12

lagerimsihi all!10:42
lagerimsihow to use pastebin for screenshots10:42
lagerimsiok i see doesnt work10:44
lagerimsiwell - maybe someone read about my problem using an imap account with disappearing messages - updated to kde4.7.0 using kmail i get the following error (translated): upload of message failed (my question: wh<y does it upload - it just fetched the message from the server) ;  final destination was INBOX; message from the server: unexpected end of data --- so my final question - bug in kmail or a server error? what do you suggest me to do?10:51
lagerimsi - other imap accounts work well10:51

alvinYou're welcome. I don't think the bug has a solution though10:55
lagerimsiwell yes - theres a workaround by disabling the spamfilter and virus filter11:00
lagerimsinot nice but i will try wheter it works11:01
lagerimsi+h11:01
lagerimsiseems to work - you can still have the spam filter working for pop3-accounts (just go to properties > filter > and there choose (for every spam-/antivirus-filter)  on but imap-accounts)11:08

LINKSWORD2My system is acting very unresponsive. For example, I press Alt + F1 to get the launcher menu open and it just won't open.17:51

LINKSWORD2What "lock" key?17:53
BluesKajon my KB it's beside f1217:53
LINKSWORD2I've got a very simple keyboard.17:54
PhilRod_LINKSWORD2: do other keyboard shortcuts work? is anything on your system running slower than usual?17:54

LINKSWORD2But it seems like the system is very slow.17:55
LINKSWORD2Gah!17:56
LINKSWORD2How can I open the process monitor?17:56
BluesKajlin sometimes the run command opens underneath another page , ot you could right click on the desktop and choose "Run command"17:56

werner_Hi #kubuntu18:37
werner_I hope someone can help me18:38
werner_I like using meld for diff viewing (it'18:38
werner_s a gnome app)18:38
Piciyou can use gnome apps in kde.18:38
werner_And I want to integrate meld with kde4's konqueror18:38
werner_So when I right click on two selected files it will have option to send to meld in KDE context menu18:39
werner_does anyone know how to do that, it would make my life so much easier18:39
werner_:)18:39
Piciwerner_: kdiff3 seems to exist.18:39
werner_YEs I use that too, but meld has cool features18:39
Picioh, sorry, I misread the question.18:40
werner_Actually I always preferred kompare18:40
werner_Ok :)18:40
werner_I'm using natty btw18:41
Daskreechwerner_: You can write a script for konqueror but does meld do everythign in app or does it have a shared library?18:52
werner_hi Daskreech I think it's just the app binary meld18:57
werner_Daskreech: meld's command line usage for files is as follows:19:03
werner_meld <file> <file> [<file>] Start a 2- or 3-way file comparison19:03
werner_Now how do I create a konqueror context menu where I can pass the 2 selected files to meld?19:04
werner_Is there some gui tool that I can use to build context menus for KDE4 konqueror?19:05

kaddihi, where does kde/plasma workspace store the default and/or installed wallpapers?19:36
BluesKajkaddi, right click on the desktop ,"Desktop settings"19:39
kaddiok, I'll start from teh beginning, I have one image in there that will display in preview, but won't display on the desktop. It's the "DamselFly" one. I've tried "reisntalling" it without success.. so my next step would be to go check out the files in its actual folder to see if there's a mess in permissions or similar19:41
James147kaddi: try ~/.kde/share/wallpapers19:41
kaddii have no wallpapers-folder in .kde/share19:42
kaddiah, but I do have one in /usr/share/wallpapers19:42
kaddihmm pictures all seem to work and permissions are identical too.. anybody has a suggestion how i could get that wallpaper to work again?19:44
BluesKajimport some wallpapers from your pictures folder ?19:50
kaddinvm, i renamed the folder and adjusted the X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name.. now it works19:50
kaddiyeah, that would've been my next attempt, copy the picture from the wallpaper folder into my normal folder and then import it into wallpapers again19:51
kaddiwonder what broke it though19:51
BluesKajmy kwin sttings are all messed up , but I'm on 11.10 and everyone has run away  in ubuntu+1 ...or so it seems19:55
szallol19:55
kaddithey know you're dangerous.. :p19:56
kaddii'm still on 10.10.. trying to find a good time where i can bork some settings and do an upgrade..19:56
kaddithat time just never seems to be now19:56
BluesKajmaybe everyone in ubuntu+1 is busy trying to fix the same mess I've got :)19:57
kaddiwhat kde version are you on then, if you're using 11.10?19:58
BluesKaj4.719:58
kaddiohhh19:59
kaddiapart some issues with kwin, how is it?19:59
BluesKajit's default19:59
BluesKajwas fine up until today19:59
kaddii figured.. i just checked and am running 4.5.5 default on 10.10.. so 4.6 for 11.04 and 4.7 looks good for 11.1019:59
kaddii need to find more time to mess with things.. that wallpaper has been broken for 6months and i'm just getting around to fixing it now >.>20:00
BluesKajwish I knew a command to get the Kwinand plasma back to default settings so i could start again from scratch ...don't feel like doing the kubuntu-desktop install --reinstall right now20:02
BluesKajtoo much to delete and fix and configure afterwards20:03
kaddias i don't know how to do that i have an alternate suggestion: create a new user from command line and log in with that.. shouldn't that have default settings?20:08
kaddialternatively you could try to install a different windowmanager and use that one instead.. however i'm not sure how much that'll really "fix" things instead of making it worse ;)20:09
ActionParsniphey guys, has anyone seen that tomboy cannot detect the default web browser when trying to sync to tomboy web??20:09
BluesKajkaddi, thanks for the suggestions , but I think I'll wait to see what's happening next update20:10
ActionParsnipit seems super hung up on gnome/firefox, of which I have neither20:10
James147BluesKaj: to reset the user settings just reneme the appropate file in ~/.kde/share/config20:12
* James147 wonders what happens if you symlink <browser here> to firefox?20:13
James147^^ or if that failes create a script called firefox and see what arguments it tries to launch it with then edit the sctipr to launch another broswer with those setings :D20:14
BluesKajJames147, rename the appropriate file ? Sorry I don't understand .20:17
James147BluesKaj: all kde settings are in ~/.kde/share/config ^^ if you rename one then that application will load its default settings (and recreate the file)20:18
James147^^ at least all the intresting settings are threre :020:19
apacheloggermarkey: so, hanging in about half an hour or so?20:20
* James147 finds ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc tends to be the most problematic and regularly has to reset it20:20
BluesKajJames147, that would ahve to be all of them ...none of the windows or apps setings in special windows or applications settings are remembered after being set ...they just open in a small size in the upper left and have to be resized every time they're opened20:21
ActionParsnipinstalled gconf-editor will try when I get home20:24
werner_Hi20:31
werner_I'm creating a .desktop file that serves as a service menu in konqueror on KDE4 natty20:31
werner_I'm calling meld (a diff viewer) with the [Desktop Action] entry: Exec=meld %u20:32
werner_That sends a single file to meld and it works :)20:32
werner_But how to send all the selected files to meld?20:32
mark___Hey there. I have Kubuntu 11.04 and Flash has stopped working on all of my browsers. Any suggestions as to get this fixed?20:32
James147BluesKaj: window rules are in "kwinrulesrc", they arnt stored for each application20:33
PhilRod_mark___: it happened to me and so I installed flash manually, but that's not really ideal20:33
mark___What would be an idea way..?20:34
PhilRod_(there seems to be a big in the flashplugin-installer package where it downloads the installer, but doesn't actually run it)20:34
James147werner_: try %U20:35
PhilRod_mark___: if you want to do what I did (but I would emphasize that it's certainly not recommended): wget http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.3.183.7.orig.tar.gz20:35
mark___That seems really confusing. To do this though would Ijust do an "apt-get install flashplugin-installer" command?20:35
Daskreechwerner_: Not that I know of. It's kinda like a subset of ECMAscript20:36
mark___PhilRod_:  At this point I don't even mind the hard way. After I do that what would the second step be?20:36
PhilRod_mark___:  tar zxvf adobe-flashplugin_10.3.183.7.orig.tar.gz20:37
werner_James147: Thank you! XD20:37
mark___PhilRod_:  That it?20:37
PhilRod_mark___: a couple more steps20:37
James147mark___: try reinstalling it with apt--get first ^^  "sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer"20:37
OerHeksmark___, empty the flash cookies in ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/ helped me with nonstarting videos20:38
mark___It's not just videos. Flash apps aren't working either - like Rdio.20:38
mark___James147:  Thanks, that worked just fine!20:39
ActionParsnipmark___: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep "flash|gnash|swf"20:39
mark___I really appreciate the help everyone :D20:39
PhilRod_mark___: cd adobe-flashplugin-10.3.183.7.orig/i386; sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins20:39
ActionParsnipmark___: ahh then its ok20:39
mark___Help for Linux OS's is always so amazing. I've never had trouble with it, and out of Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and OpenSuse, Kubuntu's is the best.20:40
