Kingh3mp | Hey guys, I'm having problems finding the capacity settings for the trashbin. | 02:56 |
SIR_Taco | Kingh3mp: do you have the wastebin as a plasmoid/widget on your desktop or taskbar? | 02:59 |
Kingh3mp | Yes | 03:00 |
SIR_Taco | Kingh3mp: If you right-click on the wastebin and select "Wastebin Settings" you should be able to change the amount of space it uses | 03:01 |
Kingh3mp | I've found that. Now to my second problem. | 03:01 |
Kingh3mp | No matter whatsize I allow, Dolphin keeps warning me that the trashbin is "full" which it isn't. | 03:02 |
Kingh3mp | And tells me to clean it up manually. | 03:02 |
SIR_Taco | what version of KDE? | 03:03 |
SIR_Taco | and how do you know that you haven't hit the limit? | 03:04 |
kingh3mp | KDE4. And I know because I set the trashcan to 90% of its capacity. | 03:05 |
kingh3mp | Oops. I think I accidentally closed the chat. | 03:08 |
kingh3mp | Anyway, I'm using KDE4. | 03:08 |
kingh3mp | And I know I haven't hit the limit because I set it to 90% capacity. | 03:08 |
kingh3mp | Is there an easy way to re-format removable media? | 03:09 |
Axlin | To manually empty the trash (be sure to type this exactly): rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* | 03:09 |
SIR_Taco | kingh3mp: if you set the wastebin to be 90% of your free-space.... that's not good | 03:10 |
kingh3mp | Thanks. | 03:10 |
kingh3mp | Changed that. | 03:11 |
kingh3mp | Trashbin is empty now. | 03:11 |
kingh3mp | Now. Is there an easy way to re-format a removable media device? | 03:12 |
Axlin | You can use KDE Partition Manager to do that. sudo apt-get install partitionmanager | 03:13 |
Axlin | Assuming it isn't already installed. I'm not sure if it is or not. | 03:13 |
kingh3mp | Thanks, Axlin | 03:13 |
kingh3mp | Can't install that at the moment. KPackage Manager is downloading updates. | 03:15 |
kingh3mp | this hp is slow im planing on replacing the 2 half gig ram with 1 gig sticks. is it worth it ? | 03:26 |
kingh3mp | brb need 2 restart | 03:28 |
LINKSWORD2 | I think I scared him off. :/ | 03:29 |
SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: I have a few times... so don't worry :P | 03:31 |
LINKSWORD2 | lol | 03:31 |
LINKSWORD2 | Maybe you scared him off, then? | 03:31 |
SIR_Taco | If he keeps coming back, I can't really say I scared him off..... however if he doesn't come back this time... then it's all on you haha | 03:32 |
LINKSWORD2 | Don't make me eat you, Taco. | 03:32 |
kingh3mp | im back | 03:32 |
LINKSWORD2 | Ahhhh! | 03:33 |
SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: you're off the hook I guess haa | 03:33 |
kingh3mp | dont make me kick u | 03:33 |
kingh3mp | anyhow like i said im thinking on kicking up the ram on my hp its a single core 1.7 ghz | 03:34 |
SIR_Taco | laptop? desktop? | 03:35 |
kingh3mp | only has a gig of ram total i was looking at 2 1 gig sticks | 03:35 |
kingh3mp | laptop | 03:35 |
LINKSWORD2 | You're talking about upgrading RAM, and at the same time, shifting discussion over to the processor speed... | 03:35 |
* LINKSWORD2 facepalms.* | 03:35 | |
SIR_Taco | kingh3mp: what are you trying to do exactly? | 03:36 |
moetunes | more ram is alwaye better | 03:36 |
moetunes | s/ye/ys/ | 03:36 |
kingh3mp | up the ram from 2 half gig stix to 2 i gig sticks to try to speed it up | 03:36 |
SIR_Taco | kingh3mp: you *may* see a slight speed up... but likely not much unless you deal with ram intensive tasks | 03:38 |
kingh3mp | ? | 03:38 |
kingh3mp | wat is ram intensive tasks | 03:38 |
kingh3mp | btw link im add | 03:39 |
SIR_Taco | A database, 3D rendering, movie editing, etc | 03:39 |
LINKSWORD2 | I've checked into the system process manager and noticed that the system does use a lot of its RAM. | 03:40 |
LINKSWORD2 | It could also use a processor upgrade, possibly, but I think the best option is to either upgrade RAM, or scrap the system and get a better one. | 03:41 |
LINKSWORD2 | For the time being, upgrading components is more cost-effective. | 03:41 |
SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: I guess it depends on how much the ram costs? | 03:41 |
LINKSWORD2 | About $20 each. | 03:42 |
LINKSWORD2 | And I can also find a working battery upgrade for dirt-cheap. :P | 03:42 |
kingh3mp | ya the battery is shot half hour life | 03:43 |
SIR_Taco | Just saying that you might see some speed-up, but it wont knock you over and thing "holy crap! this is awesome!" | 03:44 |
kingh3mp | no i kno | 03:45 |
kingh3mp | i need to get my desk top idea rolling but i live a mobile life | 03:46 |
SIR_Taco | ok... lets take a step back here... | 03:46 |
SIR_Taco | what do you know about RAM? | 03:46 |
* LINKSWORD2 Facepalms.* | 03:46 | |
kingh3mp | little i took several base classes in highschool | 03:47 |
LINKSWORD2 | SIR_Taco: , we may have to explain that very thoroughly.... | 03:47 |
SIR_Taco | ok... | 03:47 |
SIR_Taco | kingh3mp: here's a very quick and dirty idea of what happens in your computer.... | 03:48 |
kingh3mp | ok | 03:48 |
* LINKSWORD2 Epic Facepalm!* | 03:49 | |
* kingh3mp hits head on wall BEGONE EVIL THOUGHTS ! * | 03:49 | |
* LINKSWORD2 drags kingh3mp's mind out of the gutter.* | 03:49 | |
SIR_Taco | When you open a program, it is (or part of it, that's an advanced subject) loaded into RAM. Why? because RAM takes micro seconds to get information from and a hard-drive takes milliseconds... | 03:50 |
kingh3mp | ok im starting to remember | 03:50 |
LINKSWORD2 | RAM stands for "Random Access Memory" and it's designed to be quick and effective short-term memory. It determines the speed at which a system is able to run applications. | 03:51 |
LINKSWORD2 | That's only a partial explanation, though. And I don't want to get into a 3-hour in-depth discussion. :/ | 03:52 |
kingh3mp | as far as my desk top idea its back burner untill i find a home atm i live were ever i roam including under linkswords bed | 03:52 |
SIR_Taco | If your RAM fills up and/or the files have been sitting idle in RAM for a long time (depending on the OS), your OS will likely send it to the page-swap/file so that it's not taking up space in RAM | 03:52 |

LINKSWORD2 | SIR_Taco: kingh3mp and I both run Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE 4. | 03:53 |
SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: the part about "determines the speed at which a system is able to run applications." is not entirely true | 03:53 |
LINKSWORD2 | *Head-desk.* | 03:54 |
SIR_Taco | ok... I'm going to make the assumption that the two of you play WoW? | 03:54 |
LINKSWORD2 | .... Absolutely not. I despise it. | 03:55 |
SIR_Taco | that shoots that anology in the foot... | 03:55 |
LINKSWORD2 | lol | 03:55 |
kingh3mp | lol | 03:56 |

SIR_Taco | forget it | 03:58 |
LINKSWORD2 | Forget what? :P | 03:58 |
SIR_Taco | exactly | 03:58 |
kingh3mp | should i go with a newer la;ptop | 03:58 |

kingh3mp | or try to revive this 2005 hp | 03:59 |
LINKSWORD2 | We want to kill Windows and install Kubuntu on it... lol | 04:00 |
kingh3mp | i like games videoes and i keep in touch with family aside from reserching car stuff | 04:00 |

kingh3mp | slow | 04:01 |

exavir | Can anyone help me? | 07:33 |
exavir | No one???????????? | 07:36 |
exavir | What a great IRC | 07:36 |

exavir | Ok | 07:37 |
exavir | I installed Kubuntu using Wubi | 07:37 |
ikonia | I can't help you | 07:37 |
exavir | but my kubuntu doesn't recogonize my wireless card | 07:37 |
exavir | How can i fix it? | 07:38 |
ikonia | no idea, I don't support wubi | 07:38 |
TeslaTony | For some irritating reason my laptop will inform me that my battery has reached a low level, then hibernate. I have it set to hibernate at 5%, but sometimes will do it at over 50%. Any known fixes? | 07:38 |
exavir | Tnx | 07:38 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: does your battery need conditioning / | 07:39 |
TeslaTony | Ikonia: Not that I am aware of. I get pretty good life out of a full charge, and Windows gives me zero issues with it. | 07:40 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: sounds like linux isn't properly supporting your power managment features, it's not that uncommon | 07:41 |
TeslaTony | ikonia: Yeah. I've had previous issues with getting correct readings on the battery level, though I'm surprised that would still be an issue with this laptop | 07:43 |
ikonia | why are you surprised by the current laptop ? | 07:43 |
TeslaTony | HP Mini 110. Fairly common laptop, and from my understanding, HP is rather open-source friendly | 07:45 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: they are, and it's a fair assumption, the issue is sometimes the bios stuff which isn't made by them lets them down | 07:47 |
TeslaTony | ikonia: I need to check, but there's a good chance the motherboard is made by Asus, which is also very open-source friendly. Maybe my next laptop needs to be a Dell preloaded with Ubuntu... | 07:50 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: dell is no better/worse being honest | 07:50 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: I'm just looking into that HP model now | 07:51 |
TeslaTony | ikonia: Idle thought, really, though I'd imagine something preloaded with Ubuntu would actually work pretty well with it. My reasonable assumptions will be the death of me. | 07:52 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: nope | 07:54 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: it "should" but doesn't most dells ship with things like broadcoms etc, that have problems | 07:55 |
ikonia | TeslaTony: some dell builds are actually modified ubuntu builds oto | 07:55 |

TheLastProject | Open your package manager (KPackageKit by default on Kubuntu, located in your Application Launcher (that's start menu for ex-Windows users) under "Computer"), type in the package name and click search | 10:49 |
TheLastProject | Then move your mouse over the package you want to remove and click the "Remove" icon, followed by "Apply" | 10:49 |
TheLastProject | If there are any dependencies it doesn't need anymore it should remove them as well, if I am right | 10:49 |
TheLastProject | Though I may be mistaking | 10:49 |

david__ | hi | 17:00 |
david__ | i can't adjust my backlight | 17:00 |
david__ | please help me | 17:00 |
winut | has it worked before? | 17:00 |
david__ | i can't watch in my display | 17:00 |
david__ | no i use kubuntu first time | 17:00 |
david__ | i have acer notebook | 17:01 |
winut | does it work on windows? | 17:01 |
david__ | yes | 17:01 |
david__ | i never had a linux here on this laptop | 17:01 |
winut | seems like an bios/acpi feature | 17:01 |
winut | maybe your missing the correct method from your dsdt? | 17:02 |
winut | what is the model? | 17:02 |
david__ | i adjust brightness by fn key + arrow left or right | 17:02 |
david__ | g | 17:02 |
david__ | acer aspire 5742g | 17:03 |
winut | g model what? lol | 17:03 |
winut | ah, ok, thanks | 17:03 |
david__ | lol numlock xD | 17:03 |
david__ | i put the another monitor in my laptop because i can't watch in lcd display of notebook | 17:03 |
david__ | ;x | 17:04 |
winut | maybe look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1649384 | 17:04 |
david__ | ok | 17:05 |
winut | cant see any joy here, maybe its a bios issue? | 17:07 |
david__ | no i think it's not bios | 17:08 |
david__ | no option in bios about graphics | 17:08 |
david__ | i have here nvidia graphic card and integrated intel graphichs | 17:08 |
david__ | i think this computer use the integrated graphich hardware for default | 17:09 |
winut | if you could extract your dsdt and fix the graphics brightness there and override the dsdt using grub, maybe it would work OOTB? | 17:10 |
david__ | oh, i don't know what is it | 17:12 |
david__ | ;x | 17:12 |
winut | i had a look at your bios dsdt table and it has methods like BRTS, _BCM etc so it should work. maybe there is no driver support yet. is it a new laptop? | 17:15 |
david__ | yes it's new | 17:16 |
david__ | i bought it few months ago | 17:16 |
winut | its possible that the brightness control this was badly implemented ort just non standard. ok makes sense. also looked here http://www.mail-archive.com/platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org/msg02389.html | 17:16 |
winut | seems like you might have to wait for anew kernel | 17:16 |
david__ | oh... | 17:17 |

david__ | i don't see the xorg file | 17:21 |
david__ | in kubuntu | 17:21 |
david__ | where is it ? | 17:21 |
winut | a lot of manufacturers are lazy towards linux support and implement dodgy code in their bios, expecting windows to fix all, which it normally does | 17:21 |
winut | so you have 2 choices, wait for linux developers to fix everything or fix it yourself in the dsdt etc | 17:22 |
david__ | i will try that dsdt but i don't know how to use it... | 17:23 |
winut | however, that is not easy for most users. you can refer to the acpi specs if your seriously interested in doing so | 17:23 |

david__ | ok thanks for helping me | 17:25 |
genii-around | david__: Is module acer-wmi loading? | 17:26 |
david__ | no | 17:27 |
david__ | i have some notifications | 17:28 |
david__ | about that | 17:28 |
david__ | acer wmi not loaded etc... | 17:28 |
genii-around | david__: Perhaps to add acer-wmi into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, sudo update-initramfs -u and see if it makes a difference next boot | 17:38 |
genii-around | That is if: modprobe -l | grep acer shows you have that module available | 17:38 |

shaun_ | hello everyone. =] | 22:40 |
shaun_ | is it possible to remove gnome so i can use kde only? or is that not advised.... | 22:42 |
winut | you could probably do it from command line quite easily | 22:43 |
sea4ever | I think there's a program called 'switchdesk' that would let you switch between gnome and kde | 22:43 |
winut | you just need to know what to uninstall and install | 22:43 |
sea4ever | Oh no sorry, no switchdesk | 22:44 |
winut | ii might be easier just to do a clean install of kubuntu and keep your current home folder in tact | 22:45 |
winut | however, when my dad did this, he can no longer get the gnome-keyring to start automatically at login, which he needs for evolution | 22:46 |
winut | do you keep your home folder on a separate partition? | 22:47 |
winut | does anyone know how to setup gnome keyring to kick in at kde login? thanks | 22:48 |
