[01:22] <mase_work> morn all, i have 2 nics in this box and i have added a new wired conenction to the plasma nm widget ( via manage connections )
[01:22] <mase_work> for my eth0
[01:23] <mase_work> however when i click on the connection in the plama widget it does nothing
[01:23] <mase_work> and ifconfig eth0 shows it has no ip address
[01:23] <mase_work> it's configured for addresses only dhcp in my network management configuration
[01:24] <mase_work> the plasma widget also shows my 2 interfaces as unmanaged
[01:24] <mase_work> can anyone help me to get eth0 'managed' and using the new connection
[01:29] <indystor1> hey all--- just installed kubuntu and I love it!! so many more features than Gnome...!!! :)
[01:29] <mase_work> indystor1: well one of the main features of gnome is the lack of features :)
[01:30] <mase_work> so if features is what you want then it's not surprising your enjoying kde
[01:30] <mase_work> but welcome!
[01:33] <indystor1> :) haha--- yeah, it was extremely annoying not to even be able to dock my buddy list to the side of the screen on gnome! lol...
[01:33] <indystor1> kde runs slower but I don't care, I can have it do what I want it to do! :)
[01:42] <CoJaBo> kde ftw
[01:48] <indystor1> so when does the next LTS version of kubuntu come out? I can't wait to install that bad boy...!!!
[02:10] <Lithos84> indystor1: Next LTS will be 12.04 (April 2012).
[02:24] <[Relic]> not very LTS if the world ends 8 months later
[02:25] <CoJaBo> LOL
[02:25] <mase_work> can't you just change the calendar ? =)
[02:25] <[Relic]> don't have my stone carving tools
[02:26] <CoJaBo> "Support period: UNTIL RAPTURE"
[02:28] <[Relic]> I want my logitech g300 to work already :(
[02:36] <semitones> for the alt-f2 thing, can you configure that to search for files as well as open applications
[02:36] <semitones> because right now it doesn't find files which i can locate myself
[02:53] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[02:55] <semitones> also where can I configure the taskbar to my liking? I don't see it in system settings
[02:59] <claydoh> semitones: right click on the taskbar to configure
[02:59] <semitones> oh thanks -- i couldn't before, too many windows
[03:00] <claydoh> yeah that gets in the way :)
[03:00] <semitones> is there a way to change the minimized windows to just icons instead of icons and words?
[03:08] <claydoh> semitones: iirc there is an alternative taskbar called fancytasks or something similar
[03:08] <claydoh> the taskbar is just a widget on the panel, so you can delete it, move it, put a different one there
[03:09] <claydoh> there are probably others you can install
[03:09] <claydoh> I think fancytasks can be configured to do what you want bit have not used it myself
[03:11] <semitones> oh cool, thanks claydoh, i'll try it
[08:43] <trueg> moin

[13:08] <OerHeks> hyper_ch, possible, wait for beta2 @ thursday 22nd,
[13:08] <hyper_ch> OerHeks: why?
[13:09] <OerHeks> beta2 is incl these updates
[13:09] <hyper_ch> and I'd still have to download them... so?
[13:10] <hyper_ch> OerHeks: I'm not sure what the wait for the 22nd would be good for
[13:12] <OerHeks> if you want to test it today, oke, but beta1 is at it's end, so i am not surprized it has 1,5 Gb updates
[13:12] <hyper_ch> and the update to beta2 is minimal
[13:12] <hyper_ch> I need new cups drivers
[13:12] <hyper_ch> s/drivers/libs/
[13:15] <ahox> Hi, are there KDE 4.7.1 packages available for 11.04?
[13:15] <hyper_ch> ahox: they are, through the kubuntu team backport ppa I think
[13:15] <OerHeks> ahoy, no, 4.7.0 is in backports
[13:15] <hyper_ch> oh... well
[13:16] <ahox> ah, so its not just me, because according to kde.org they are, however, kubuntu.org does not mention them
[13:16] <OerHeks> i am not sure, it ever will ..
[13:16] <OerHeks> correct.
[13:17] <OerHeks> 4.7.1 is available in oneiric, but is in beta & not stable yet.
[13:17] <hyper_ch> what improvements does 4.7.1 bring?
[13:19] <ahox> hyper_ch: Have a look at http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_7_0to4_7_1.php
[13:19] <OerHeks> i am still on natty+backports, i wait till thursday for beta2 to come out
[13:19] <hyper_ch> yeah, also using natty+backports but in the process of upgrading
[13:36] <trueg> maybe now: Are there kde 4.7.1 updates for Kubuntu 11.4 somewhere? (asked here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281600#c7)

[13:43] <BoomerBile_Lapto> never mind... gfire ;)
[14:10] <hyper_ch> oh, I notice oneiric comes with a 3.0 kernel :)
[14:10] <hyper_ch> also, in 5 1/2 years we reach "z"... what comes afterwards?
[14:12] <BluesKaj> A1  ?
[14:13] <hyper_ch> hmmm, name an adjective or animal that starts with A1
[14:25] <BluesKaj> well, he's gotta change that silly naming after animals habit
[14:41] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: :)
[14:41] <hyper_ch> it's been over 5 years now for me since I replaced Windows as Desktop :)
[14:42] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, yes, same here , altho wife still insists on windows

[14:43] <hyper_ch> windows has it's place.. just not in my heart anymore ;)
[14:46] <TheLastProject> Q_Q
[14:46] <TheLastProject> LibreOffice why don't you want to work? Q_Q
[14:46] <hyper_ch> TheLastProject: it works
[14:46] <hyper_ch> but then, I'm using the LO ppa
[14:47] <TheLastProject> I can't get it working =/
[14:47] <TheLastProject> The one that came along with Kubuntu was old
[14:47] <TheLastProject> And now I got the new one but that's a bit problematic =/
[14:47] <TheLastProject> Going to try to remove everything with synaptic =/
[14:49] <hyper_ch> TheLastProject: you're on natty?
[14:49] <TheLastProject> Kubuntu 11.04, forgot the name =/
[14:49] <hyper_ch> the one linked on my repogen site works just fine for natty http://repogen.simplylinux.ch
[14:49] <hyper_ch> except the info popups are almost black on black
[14:50] <hyper_ch> but that is already reported
[14:52] <TheLastProject> If I choose the Netherlands will it use Dutch lists?
[14:52] <TheLastProject> Because I prefer English o,o
[14:52] <hyper_ch> no, it's for the mirrors to use
[14:52] <TheLastProject> Ah, okay
[14:52] <hyper_ch> and that's only important for the main repos
[14:52] <hyper_ch> for the ubuntu main repos
[14:52] <hyper_ch> just select 11.04
[14:52] <hyper_ch> then check the libreoffice PPA
[14:52] <hyper_ch> and add the result to your sources.list
[14:52] <hyper_ch> and also get the gpg key
[14:53] <Pici> If you use add-apt-repository, it will get the PPA's key at the same time.
[14:54] <TheLastProject> gpg key? x.x
[14:54] <hyper_ch> Pici: maybe I should add that to my generator
[15:00] <TheLastProject> Okay, still can't open ACCDB files =/
[15:00] <TheLastProject> Must be doing something wrong =/
[15:04] <hyper_ch> what are accdb files?
[15:04] <TheLastProject> Access Database
[15:05] <hyper_ch> don't know

[17:03] <BoomerBile_Lapto> anyone here using pidgin?
[17:06] <macer1> !anyone | BoomerBile_Lapto
[17:07] <BoomerBile_Lapto> i'm having problems with pidgin... i think... i can see all of my contacts, but when i open a chat to one of them... the window to chat in is blank... and i can't type in it or see what they type
[17:07] <BoomerBile_Lapto> on closing the window, i'm asked for confirmation to close it and there are no buttons to press
[17:08] <macer1> what ubuntu version?
[17:08] <BoomerBile_Lapto> 11.04
[17:09] <BoomerBile_Lapto> also, i can't close the email notification
[17:09] <BoomerBile_Lapto> nor use any of the pull down menus
[17:11] <BoomerBile_Lapto> it doesn't start out this way, only after about 40 seconds of use or so, it starts happening until i close and open it
[17:11] <BoomerBile_Lapto> with killall -9 pidgin
[17:14] <BoomerBile_Lapto> thought it was kde effects... it's not
[17:14] <BoomerBile_Lapto> kde effects off, same thing happens
[17:16] <BoomerBile_Lapto> could be the gfire plugin, or xmmp, i don't normally use those... disabled the accounts for a try
[17:19] <BoomerBile_Lapto> nope... pidgin is not working correctly... any ideas?
[17:25] <mr-rich> BoomerBile_Lapto: kununtu?
[17:26] <mr-rich> BoomerBile_Lapto: what is your uptime?
[17:28] <ssfdre38> mr-rich, do you know what kubuntu is?
[17:29] <mr-rich> ssfdre38: fatfingered ... sorry

[17:33] <jamil_1> Hi all, my kubuntu system is not shutting down. I am on latest kubuntu
[17:37] <mr-rich> jamil_1: not shutting down how? Any error messages? HD light blinking? need more info ...
[18:00] <waveydave> howdy, recently built a pc using amd a8-3850 and, having read that ubuntu 11.10 should work out of the box with the llano gpu due to more recent kernel/mesa but being a kubuntu user, i'm trying to install kubuntu 11.10 to the crucial m4 ssd
[18:01] <waveydave> however, on booting from cd i get a message about the cd-rom not being mounted
[18:02] <waveydave> trying the install from a usb key does get as far as partitioning but none of my drives are listed
[18:02] <waveydave> motherboard is asus f1a75-v pro
[18:03] <waveydave> anyone aware of any issues with these boards?
[18:04] <waveydave> then the main point, if i plug the ssd into another sata port using a different sata controller (the board has 2) i can get as far as the package install, which then stalls part way through
[18:04] <waveydave> couldn't find anything on forums about this
[18:04] <waveydave> using the 'alternate' install, btw
[18:19] <waveydave> largest uk telecoms provider/isp provides terrible routers - who'd have thunk it?
[18:20] <iDanielSan> Hey, does anyone of use CairoDock ?

[19:40] <marvimoto> hi
[19:41] <marvimoto> is there someone who can help me to get my m-audio delta audiophile 2496 working with kubuntu
[19:53] <marvimoto> is there someone who can help me to get my m-audio delta audiophile 2496 working with kubuntu
[19:58] <BluesKaj> odd that that you should ask marvimoto , I've just been looking into those cards for my Media_Server pc
[19:59] <marvimoto> did you get this card work?
[20:01] <BluesKaj> marvimoto, I haven't bought one yet , but according to synaptic the card needs the madfuload firmware download to work with alsa
[20:02] <BluesKaj> marxjohnson, check in your package manager
[20:03] <BluesKaj> type m-audio and you'll sees several optional apps
[20:07] <BluesKaj> MarkB1, I just found that the ALSA GUI control tool for Envy24 (ice1712) soundcards is called Mudita24 and is preferred for you card
[20:14] <BluesKaj> sorry marxjohnson , MarkB1 , the guy I was helping left right afte he asked me a followup question, I assumed he wa still here
[20:17] <giantpune> hi.  doesnt anybody know how if kde/kubuntu has a way to change the behavior for the current working directory when starting a program?  with ubuntu, when i start a program, and it writes any file to the CWD, that file will end up in the same folder as the executable.  in KDE, when the same program is run, it writes that file into $HOME/Documents
[20:18] <giantpune> so, i want to change it so that when i browse to a program in dolphin and double click on it, the program will start up and its CWD will be the directory from which i ran it
[20:24] <bline> giantpune: did u get my last message?
[20:24] <giantpune> no
[20:24] <bline> giantpune: just tested it with alt-f2 and browsing with dolphin, both write the file in Documents. maybe the program u are running is calling chdir()
[20:24] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[20:26] <giantpune> bline, it is not.  it is a program that i wrote myself using Qt.  when i run the program on ubuntu, windows, and OSx they all 3 write the file to the path from where i run the program
[20:26] <giantpune> it is only on KDE where it puts the file in documents
[20:26] <bline> i just wrote a 3 line perl script to test
[20:27] <bline> this is a fresh install of kubuntu
[20:27] <giantpune> maybe it is a Qt bug then?
[20:27] <bline> could be a feature :)
[20:27] <giantpune> i noticed also that strictly Qt programs will spit out a bunch of warnings when running with KDE
[20:31] <bline> as much as i love qt, haven't done enough work with it to help
[20:33] <bline> giantpune: maybe you could make the path a config option or just do the chdir($HOME/Documents) yourself
[20:33] <bline> i think it's bad practice to depend on the directory the OS puts you in for writting files
[20:52] <marquee_> if I want to update everything except kopete (I am using an earlier version), could I use the line sudo apt-get update && !kopete
[20:52] <marquee_> ?
[20:58] <OerHeks> !pinning
[20:59] <OerHeks> marquee_, see pinning
[20:59] <marquee_> will do thank you
[21:00] <marquee_> what a strange name for it though lol why'd they call it pinning rofl
[21:02] <bline> like you pin a window so it stays
[21:02] <marquee_> oh
[21:05] <OerHeks> marquee_, did you try the ppa version ?? https://launchpad.net/~pali/+archive/kopete
[21:05] <marquee_> nope i'll look into that as well
[21:06] <LINKSWORD2> Hello all.
[21:06] <LINKSWORD2> So check this out. K3B isn't coming up as an option to rip my audio CD's.
[21:07] <marquee_> well the thing is that I don't want to update kopete, not update it from a different source
[21:07] <marquee_> but thanks anyways oer
[21:07] <LINKSWORD2> I restore audio from tapes and burn them to CD's as a small business. And I'm stuck on trying to get my own CD ripped back to my system.
[21:09] <kwyjibo_> hello. i just installed kubuntu 11.04, but I'm having real difficulty finding where to change to 12h clock format. can someone help?
[21:10] <kwyjibo_> the clock widget has preferences, but none of them appear to affect 12h/24h format
[21:10] <LINKSWORD2> kwyjibo_:  It's an ongoing glitch.
[21:10] <LINKSWORD2> I've wanted to switch over to 24h format, but it's... beefed.
[21:11] <kwyjibo_> oh
[21:11] <kwyjibo_> has it been going on for a long time?
[21:12] <LINKSWORD2> I got back into Linux systems with Kubuntu 9.04. It's been that way since I got in.
[21:12] <kwyjibo_> any workaround?
[21:12] <LINKSWORD2> None that I know of.
[21:13] <kwyjibo_> :(
[21:15] <kwyjibo_> there's no command line that could do it? or maybe a config file i could edit?
[21:16] <LINKSWORD2> It's possible, but I haven't found it.
[21:16] <LINKSWORD2> I've asked others in this chatroom about it, and had no luck.
[21:17] <LINKSWORD2> So if you figure it out, I invite you to come back and let me know how.
[21:38] <adwait_neo> how can i download vlc for kubuntu?

[23:55] <BluesKaj> Unit193,you don't need vbmc ..vlc works very well as a player , a decent graphics card connected to your monitor style or flatscreen hdtv and you're in business
