| Daskreech | jmichaelx: if you mean a pop up that comes up when a windows computer is turned on I don't think that's kmail unless you have a good reasoning behind why kmail would be doing that. it's much more likely to be solid | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Daskreech | reisio: ctrl+D ? | 00:00 |
| Daskreech | oh wait | 00:00 |
| Daskreech | sorry | 00:00 |
| Daskreech | don't do that hold on :) | 00:00 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: i did not understand a word of what you just said to me | 00:00 |
| BluesKaj | BBL, stuff to do | 00:01 |
| Daskreech | reisio: wait ctrl+shift+T opens a new tab for me. Was I reading what you said wrong? | 00:01 |
| Daskreech | bye BluesKaj | 00:01 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: what does a windows computer have to do with the kmail popup warnings that most kubuntu 11.10 users see once they log in? | 00:01 |
| reisio_ | lost my connection, who just said something to me? =) | 00:02 |
| === reisio_ is now known as reisio | ||
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: Ok I'm going crosseyed weren't you asking about a pop up that comes up anytime a windows computer comes on the network? | 00:02 |
| Daskreech | reisio: wait ctrl+shift+T opens a new tab for me. Was I reading what you said wrong? | 00:02 |
| Daskreech | Or was that a different chan? | 00:02 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: i think so far nearly every time you've responded to me, you have been answering some question i never asked :-) | 00:03 |
| Daskreech | Sorry both of you were asking about notifications everytime you logged in I got muddled. Sorry Kmail what is it saying to you? | 00:03 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: it is this same popup that everyone sees in 11.10.... i do not remember what it says | 00:04 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: is this a plasma popup or a dialog box? | 00:04 |
| jmichaelx | i should remember, since i have now seen it hundreds of times | 00:04 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: lol nevermind | 00:04 |
| Daskreech | I mean I've had akonadi errors etc. Is it an informative message or an error message? | 00:05 |
| Daskreech | If i can guess the source it'll be easier to tell it to stop | 00:05 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: no idea how it would be classified... but you should know what i am talking about, since everyone sees it in 11.10, unless they have disabled it | 00:06 |
| jmichaelx | it's not a big deal, just an annoyance | 00:07 |
| Daskreech | Ok well when I see it I'll let you know :) | 00:07 |
| Snowhog | jmichaelx: What ever it is you are referring to, I don't see it when I log in. | 00:07 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: you have seen it | 00:07 |
| reisio | Daskreech: know how to close a split view in konsole? | 00:08 |
| jmichaelx | Snowhog: i should not have said everyone, but it is a well-known issue in 11.10. | 00:08 |
| Daskreech | reisio: ctrl+D | 00:08 |
| jmichaelx | i just don't know the solution... and do not have kmail installed | 00:08 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: ! That's worrying | 00:08 |
| Snowhog | Daskreech: akonadi mail-dispatch agent looking for what isn't present?? | 00:08 |
| jmichaelx | Snowhog: perhaps.... although i get the message whether kmail is installed or not | 00:09 |
| Daskreech | well if he doesn't have kmail I'm not sure why he would have an akonadi mail agent | 00:09 |
| jmichaelx | ok, nevermind.... i have seen this come up in this room many times now, but never took note of what anyone did to stop the popup. i'll figure it out | 00:10 |
| szal | as of now, KMail 2 is a total failure, imho | 00:12 |
| jmichaelx | would have been more helpful if i had noted what the popup says lol. i could reboot right now in order to see it again, but don't feel like it | 00:12 |
| szal | jmichaelx: you mean that message bus or something error on KDE startup? | 00:13 |
| jmichaelx | szal: yea, i think that's the one | 00:13 |
| szal | "Failed to catch message collection" or something | 00:13 |
| jmichaelx | no, i believe it does mention the mail dispatch agent. i removed kmail hoping that would stop the popup, but that made no difference | 00:14 |
| * szal ignores it already, doesn't seem to have consequences (unless perhaps you actually use KMail 2) | 00:14 | |
| szal | jmichaelx: yes, that's it | 00:14 |
| jmichaelx | szal: yea, i could just ignore it, too... but over time it annoys me more and more | 00:15 |
| jmichaelx | that's combined with a large number of other small annoyances with 11.10... they are adding up | 00:15 |
| szal | jmichaelx: indeed | 00:16 |
| szal | which is why I'm looking elsewhere, though I still need to find the time to switch | 00:16 |
| jmichaelx | szal: same here... not sure what to switch to. i have one machine running gentoo, which has given me no problems at all (gentoo is still using KDE 4.6.5), but the though of installing gentoo on everything else i have gives me less than enthusiastic feelings | 00:18 |
| jmichaelx | thought* | 00:18 |
| * szal knows where to go | 00:18 | |
| szal | back to openSUSE ^^ | 00:19 |
| szal | I keep going back there because other distros just don't convince me over longer periods of time | 00:19 |
| szal | best KDE implementation ever | 00:20 |
| szal | and stability-wise it never gave me causes for headaches | 00:20 |
| jmichaelx | i have never really used opensuse, but should maybe give it a try some time... the nice thing about the ubuntu world, has been that with the large number of users, it is often easier to figure out how to do certain things/install certain software than in some other distros | 00:20 |
| szal | jmichaelx: indeed, that and the sheer number of available software packages is a great plus | 00:21 |
| jmichaelx | yea | 00:21 |
| jmichaelx | what version of kde is opensuse stable using? | 00:22 |
| szal | 12.1 ships w/ 4.7.2 | 00:23 |
| szal | newer versions are available | 00:23 |
| jmichaelx | does it not have the task manager ghost issue? | 00:24 |
| szal | (currently 4.7.3, that is) | 00:24 |
| szal | what's that? | 00:24 |
| jmichaelx | ugh.... icons remaining in the taskmanager after windows are closed | 00:24 |
| szal | haven't seen that yet on Kubuntu | 00:25 |
| Daskreech | szal: Total failure is pretty harsh considering | 00:25 |
| szal | and I haven't installed oS 12.1 yet, so I wouldn't know what's the issue there | 00:25 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: couldn't you jsut log off and log back on? | 00:25 |
| jmichaelx | szal: i have four machines between home and work running 11.10, and they all have that problem. my main PC has it the worst, with a ghost remain in the taskmanager for almost every window i close | 00:25 |
| szal | Daskreech: it's a similar not-ready-for-prime-time state as KDE 4.0 was | 00:26 |
| szal | jmichaelx: just closed VLC, icon immediately disappeared | 00:26 |
| jmichaelx | i agree with szal... not as bad as 4.0, but bad enough that the whole KDE project is looking negligent and incapable | 00:26 |
| jmichaelx | the whole mothly SC release idea is not working out for KDE | 00:27 |
| szal | the monthly release schedule isn't a problem imho | 00:28 |
| jmichaelx | and in this case, i think the problem is more KDE than kubuntu | 00:28 |
| Daskreech | guess I've been lucky with it so far. Migrating my stuff was a nightmare in 4.3 but I've been ok since | 00:28 |
| jmichaelx | i think it is a big problem... some major bugs just live on and on... bugs that should be fixed before another SC version is released, regardless what the calendar says | 00:29 |
| szal | Daskreech: I switched over w/ 4.2.0.. migrating KMail was painless back then | 00:29 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: i wish i were not plagued with the various taskmanager bugs | 00:29 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech & szal: are both of you using ATI graphics, by any chance? | 00:30 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: yeah tha's really annoying but pretty much gone for me with the latest update | 00:30 |
| Daskreech | szal: what are the issues you are having | 00:30 |
| Daskreech | Yes I am | 00:30 |
| szal | jmichaelx: I suppose you know that systray pop-ups aren't exactly pretty; openSUSE has that too, at least 11.4 w/ KDE 4.7, so I reckon that's a KDE problem | 00:30 |
| szal | jmichaelx: I have Nvidia | 00:30 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: 4.7.3 made that problem MUCH worse on this machine, and caused the problem to appear on another that until 4.7.3 had been immune | 00:31 |
| jmichaelx | i pretty much hate all popup notifications | 00:31 |
| Daskreech | *coughs* Kill systray | 00:32 |
| jmichaelx | that bug is now the 4th most hated KDE bug | 00:32 |
| jmichaelx | i want the systray.... i just do not want the popups | 00:32 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: 4.8 is out in 4 days | 00:32 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: this problem is still very much alive in 4.7.8 | 00:32 |
| jmichaelx | oops | 00:33 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: this problem is still very much alive in 4.8 | 00:33 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: for a while KDE devs were claiming this was a problem with X, but that is seeming less likely as time goes on | 00:34 |
| jmichaelx | it seems somewhere communication between KDE and Qt is breaking down | 00:34 |
| === gary_ is now known as Guest25524 | ||
| jmichaelx | (not that there are not inummerable issues with X) | 00:35 |
| jmichaelx | this is what i mean, a bug like this should prevent the release of 4.8 | 00:35 |
| jmichaelx | but they will release it anyways | 00:36 |

| BarkingFish | guys, does anyone else have problems with items open on your panel not responding to mouse clicks? | 00:53 |
| jmichaelx | BarkingFish: MANY people | 00:54 |
| BarkingFish | right. Is there a bug or bugs filed on it? | 00:55 |
| jmichaelx | yes, there are bug reports | 00:55 |
| jmichaelx | https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275469 | 00:56 |
| BarkingFish | where would they be likely to be? on launchpad or kde's bug tracker? | 00:56 |
| BarkingFish | ah, nvm | 00:56 |
| BarkingFish | thanks | 00:56 |
| ubottu | KDE bug 275469 in widget-taskbar "4 7 Regression: closed windows stay in the taskbar sometimes, taskbar doesn't react on clicks" [Normal,New] | 00:56 |
| Daskreech | BarkingFish: it's a kde 4.7.1 regression should be sorted for most people in 4.7.3 and hopefully osrted out fully in 4.7.4 | 00:57 |
| jmichaelx | BarkingFish: if you had been here just a few minutes ago, i had been carrying on about this and related bugs | 00:57 |
| * jmichaelx is not sure about the sorted out for most people in 4.7.3 part | 00:57 | |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: i have that issues on 4 different machines in 4.7.3.... and 4.7.3 made the problem worse | 00:58 |
| jmichaelx | and there are reports of the problem not being much milder in 4.8 | 00:58 |
| Daskreech | who is running 4.8 ? | 00:59 |
| BarkingFish | Daskreech: yeah, they fixed it in 4.7.3, unfortunately breaking plasma-desktop in the process | 00:59 |
| BarkingFish | in 4.7.3, plasma-desktop crashes more times than a blind cyclist | 00:59 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: not me, but this is what i have read | 01:00 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: where ? | 01:00 |
| Daskreech | BarkingFish: 4.7.2 was quite a bit worse for me | 01:01 |
| szal | plasma-desktop crashes are annoying, but so far didn't harm anything for me | 01:01 |
| BarkingFish | 4.7.2 is good here, only the mouse not working in taskbar occasionally | 01:01 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: i would have to look again for where i read that, but if/when i do, i will give you a link... until then you are welcome to regard what i said as hearsay | 01:02 |
| Daskreech | Just that at this point I think almost all the people who would be running 4.8 would also be in a position to sort it out before 4.8 hits either next week or next year | 01:06 |
| jmichaelx | were not many of the same people in the position to sort this out in 4.7? | 01:07 |
| jmichaelx | Daskreech: i think i may have confused kde 4.8 and Qt 4.8 in what i was reading | 01:10 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: ah reasonable | 01:11 |
| Daskreech | BarkingFish: To be honest I hardly ever use the mouse so I don't know. ^F9 is so much more useful | 01:12 |
| jmichaelx | so maybe there is hope that the taskmanager will be inbetter shape in kde 4.8 :) | 01:12 |
| BarkingFish | jmichaelx: As long as the make sure it works fully before they send it out, i don't care | 01:13 |
| === username is now known as linxuser | ||
| Daskreech | BarkingFish: :-) partially depends upon you | 01:20 |
| BarkingFish | Daskreech: well I'll make sure I'm live during the next packaging cycle, and i'll test everything that comes through :) | 01:24 |
| Daskreech | BarkingFish: ^F10 works nicely as well :) | 01:24 |
| BarkingFish | I hate upgrades because you never know quite how they'll work until people are using them. | 01:24 |
| BarkingFish | We should really have a beta channel, as well as this one, specifically limited to people beta testing upcoming releases | 01:25 |
| BarkingFish | that way we can fix the bugs before the whole thing goes live to the world | 01:25 |
| Num83rGuy_ | A week or two back I tried to get help here for my Audigy2 soundcard. Pulse was not wanting to use it. I have found a work around. Where is the best place to post this workaround so others with this problem cand find it? | 01:32 |
| Num83rGuy_ | The worst part is that I and two helpers here worked for many hours with no solution. Yet the solution I found involves uncommenting two lines in a config file. 30 seconds of work. | 01:34 |

| kierkkadon | Hi, I have an issue installing Kubuntu | 02:39 |
| kierkkadon | I used a universal usb installer to download the iso for kubuntu and install it to a USB | 02:39 |
| kierkkadon | I set my bios to boot from the usb | 02:39 |

| noaXess_kubuntu | Peace-: .. nothing changed.. my test was not the solutino.. i don't know, why i can't save qtconfig settings.. | 09:26 |
| Peace- | noaXess_kubuntu: try with kdesudo before | 09:27 |
| Peace- | noaXess_kubuntu: and launch google earth like root | 09:27 |
| Peace- | it's not a good thing but... | 09:27 |
| Peace- | maybe you can figure out what is happening | 09:27 |
| noaXess_kubuntu | Peace-: srange.. if i do change font size with sudo qtconfig.. and save it, the font size is changed after save.. in the qtconfig gui.. if i run qtconfig as normal user.. i can change font size, save.. but nothing happens.. | 09:28 |
| noaXess_kubuntu | hm.. is it correct, that i open different configs if i run qtconfig with sudo or as normal user? | 09:29 |
| noaXess_kubuntu | where are the user qtconfig files? | 09:29 |

| trions | Hi, I am trying to setup multitouch on kubuntu 11.10. I want to know where does one specify which multitouch driver to use during startup? Because I have couple of them and want to test them one by one. | 10:11 |

| tsousa | is kubuntu using kernel 3.0.x series? | 10:48 |
| tsousa | because it has a bug and dont work for me | 10:48 |
| trions | tsousa: yes 11.10 is using 3.0.x kernel | 10:51 |
| tdn_ | Yesterday I changed some Plasma settings: I moved the panel to another screen edge. Then I powered off. Today, when I log in, I cannot see any windows when I open them. They are opened, but not visible. It seems that Plasma is some how on top of it all. So I can only see the desktop background. WTF happened? How do I correct this? | 10:54 |
| tdn_ | I cannot even get it online, because I cannot see the network manager and thus cannot connect to the network. | 10:54 |
| tsousa | trions, that sucks that series. it gives me a kernel panic with wpa_supplicant | 10:56 |
| alban42 | Tdn have you tried moving the mouse to the top left hand corner On My setup this unzooms all windows so you can see them | 11:07 |
| tdn_ | alban42, alban42 when I do that, it zooms out and I can see all windows (the apps I have started), however, if I click one of them, I am back to same state as before: I cannot see any windows. Just the background. | 11:09 |
| tdn_ | I have yakuake. This window I can open. | 11:10 |
| tdn_ | I guess this is somehow on top of Plasma. | 11:11 |
| tdn_ | But everything else is below. | 11:11 |
| alban42 | Tdn have you tried the activity tab on the right hand side I Tried Activitys & It gives 4 differant settings which change all the window panes (Sorry I am Running out of Ideas) | 11:19 |
| tdn_ | There is no activity tab here. I can only see the desktop. | 11:20 |
| tdn_ | Great, now Plasma crashed. | 11:21 |
| tdn_ | It then restared. Now I can see the bottom panel with task bar and such. | 11:21 |
| tdn_ | However, I cannot see windows. | 11:21 |
| tdn_ | The windows appear in the task bar though. | 11:21 |
| tdn_ | alban42, I somehow got the Activities bar visible. | 11:26 |
| tdn_ | Then there were different activities. | 11:26 |
| tdn_ | ow it seems I have my windows back. | 11:26 |
| tdn_ | I clicked stop on one of them, and now it seems I have my windows back. | 11:26 |
| tdn_ | This really really sucks. | 11:27 |
| tdn_ | This must never happen. Serious usability bug. | 11:27 |
| tdn_ | I dont even know how to report this. | 11:27 |

| kamilnadeem | Hi | 16:02 |
| kamilnadeem | I removed the printer applet from the sys tray , how to get it back? | 16:03 |
| === massimo_ is now known as Guest93963 | ||
| BluesKaj | kamilnadeem, in the panel toolbar , move the cursor 'til the hidden icons appears, then choose the printer , if it's listed | 16:10 |
| JontheEchidna | kamilnadeem: Press alt + f2, type in "printer-applet" without the quotes, and press enter | 16:12 |
| kamilnadeem | BluesKaj: the printer apllet was their but I removed it | 16:14 |
| kamilnadeem | now I am not able to get it back | 16:14 |
| kamilnadeem | note that I don't have a printer | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | uhm...no printer = no applet | 16:14 |
| kamilnadeem | yeah | 16:14 |
| kamilnadeem | but it was thier earlier | 16:14 |
| kamilnadeem | so was this some system mistake? | 16:15 |
| kamilnadeem | JontheEchidna: thank you , I already tried that but the applet is not coming back | 16:15 |
| kamilnadeem | also system tray settings has no printer option now | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | no kamilnadeem it will remain hidden even if you do have a connected printer , unless you choose to restore by right clicking on the applet inthe hidden applet dialog | 16:17 |
| kamilnadeem | BluesKaj: it used to remain hidden an then show itseld when I used to click on the up arrow left to clock , in the bottom pannel | 16:18 |
| kamilnadeem | but I removed it | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, but now you have to choose "restore" by right click in the" hidden menu " | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | so if there's no printer enabled in system settings . you won't see a printer icon anyway | 16:20 |
| kamilnadeem | BluesKaj: but why was It there till I removed it | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | kamilnadeem, dunno , let's not get hung up on trivial bugs ...perhaps it was there by default in anticipation of a printer being hooked up. | 16:22 |
| kamilnadeem | BluesKaj: yeah | 16:22 |
| kamilnadeem | :) | 16:22 |
| kamilnadeem | thank you BluesKaj | 16:22 |
| kamilnadeem | thank you everyone who help people out | 16:23 |

| kaddi | hi, i just upgraded to oneiric and now textfiles opened from the firefox-downloads window are being opened by notepad in Wine again. How can I fix that? | 16:54 |
| kaddi | I already checked and firefox-kde-support is installed | 16:54 |
| kaddi | it was working fine before the upgrade | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, right click on the text file you DL'd then choose open with , choose other then in the list find kate , and choose it , check the 'rememeber application' | 16:57 |
| esperegu | I read somewhere there is a package you can install to get better performance on older hardware. anyone knows where I can find more info on that? | 16:58 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: the files are being downloaded (that's forced from the server, ti doesn't open text files directly) and saved in a folder. I'm trying to change the behaviour within the download-list of FF | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, I'm not sure I understand | 16:59 |
| === gaurav__ is now known as Guest60222 | ||
| esperegu | hmm. called low fat settings I gues | 17:00 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: the file is downloaded and saved onto the machine. This is the behaviour as I want it. Once this download starts the "Downloads"-window opens showing the progress of the download and the finished downloads. | 17:00 |
| kaddi | in that window, when i double-click the finished download, it will open the file in notepad, not kate even though I have set kate as default text editor | 17:00 |
| dbs | i need help on my backtrack 5 no sound | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | FF defaults to ~/Downloads , but you can change the path if you wan | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | want | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, is that a url of the download site maybe ? | 17:02 |
| kaddi | if you press ctrl+shift+Y in FF that'll open your Downloads-page | 17:02 |
| kaddi | and when you click on one of the files that are listed there, they'll get launched. | 17:03 |
| kaddi | provided they're still in the location where you downloaded it to | 17:03 |
| kaddi | now, before upgrading to oneiric, when i doubleclicked the text file it would get launched in kate | 17:03 |
| kaddi | now, when I double click the text file it gets launched in notepad (through wine) | 17:03 |
| kaddi | which takes longer to load, is badly rendered and all in all just annoying :p | 17:04 |
| === massimo_ is now known as Guest17698 | ||
| BluesKaj | kaddi, what if yo just open ~/Downloads and choose the file there ? | 17:05 |
| kaddi | that's not really a fix, is it | 17:05 |
| kaddi | yes, i could go to Downloads, wade through the files there until i find it and then launch it with kate from there. However just double-clicking the latest file in the Downloads page is that much quicker and i know it used to work | 17:05 |
| phiscribe | why is it dolphin and browse my a windows share with the machines name, //machine but ping machine gives unknown host? | 17:06 |

| phiscribe | what is dolphin doing to resolve the host name that ping isnt doing | 17:06 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: Not sure I understand your last sentence? | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | phiscribe, is samba installed | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 17:08 |
| phiscribe | not sure, ill check smbfs is installed | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi , I meant that opening the files in ~/Downloads isn't affected by the bug in FF | 17:08 |
| kaddi | ah, yes | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, habg on let me try that | 17:09 |
| phiscribe | bah ill just use the ip adress, kips | 17:09 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: i don't know if you remember but FF used to opnen the "open in containing folder" with nautilus instead of dolphin as well before the kde-ff-support package came around.. I suspect that this is a similar issue with FF not reading the kde settings where it should be reading them. But I don't remember how the fix works | 17:10 |
| === giovanni is now known as Guest63874 | ||
| kaddi | on a different note: I noticed thunderbird is now integrated in the notifier :) \o/ | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi , I don't have any text files in my downloads list , but open location worked fine | 17:14 |
| kaddi | yes, open location works for me too. It was used as an example, because I know that that problem was common in the past.. eg 3-4 years back before the kde-firefox-support package was introduced | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, but I'm running 12.04 and already it's more stable tha 11.10 was , so far :) | 17:15 |

| phiscribe | 12.04 already ugg ive not even got skid marks on my 11.10 yet | 17:17 |
| kaddi | yeh, i'm not upgrading.. i ran pre-beta karmic for a while.. i've done enough tinkering for now :p | 17:17 |
| BluesKaj | lemme look in my cli commands textfile | 17:18 |
| kaddi | i wrote a loverly blog-entry about the issue two years back, because I knew I'd need that info again... Then they took the blog offline and i had no backup >. | 17:19 |
| kaddi | >.< | 17:19 |
| phiscribe | upgrade, a nice idea, that usualy results in a clean install | 17:21 |

| kierkkadon | How do I get the 'System Information' thing back on my panel if I accidentally removed it? | 17:28 |
| kierkkadon | nvm, just re-added default panel | 17:31 |
| kierkkadon | Still, it would be nice to know how to add things like 'System Tray' | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | kierkkadon, open the cashew or right click on the desktop , add widgets | 17:32 |
| kierkkadon | Damn, there sure is a 'System Tray' widget. >_< | 17:33 |
| kierkkadon | Thanks for the help. I feel like a bit of a goof now. | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi , are you talking about chmod +x ? | 17:34 |

| kierkkadon | What's the filepath in kubuntu for placing fonts? | 17:36 |
| kierkkadon | I mean, where can I find my font files? | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | font settings are in kmenu>computer>system settings>application appearance, kierkkadon | 17:38 |
| kierkkadon | BluesKaj: but if I download a new font file, where do I need to put it? | 17:38 |
| === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 | ||
| BluesKaj | kierkkadon, it will download by default your /home/username/Downloads then trqnsfer them to /home/username/Documents , because thats the path "system settings>font installer"uses for local font files , | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | I meant to say, to your /home/username/Downloads | 17:45 |
| kierkkadon | Alright, thank you. | 17:47 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: i think i was talking about update-alternatives --configure.. but it's only useful for the browser, as far as I can tell | 17:49 |
| kaddi | there's no x-texteditor | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, yeah the command seems so general in nature , but it's really quite specific to browsers ...weird :) | 17:53 |

| CaptainKnots | does anyone know how I can have a kubuntu system never ask for the password when updating, etc? | 19:52 |
| CaptainKnots | it's for my aunt and she's linux dumb | 19:52 |
| === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech | ||
| Snowhog | CaptainKnots: Only way I know of, is to enable the Root account and have your aunt always run using it - NOT RECOMMENDED. A sticky note on the PC with the password always works! :? | 20:00 |
| Daskreech | CaptainKnots: give her no password sudo | 20:02 |
| Hedron | hi, I am having trouble with hdd temperature on dual boot system - windows 7 and kubuntu 11.10 | 20:02 |
| Daskreech | Though I think you can limit that to apt/kpackagekit/muon if you think that's dangerous | 20:02 |
| Daskreech | Hedron: #hardware | 20:03 |
| Snowhog | Daskreech: Isn't that nearly as bad as enabling the Root account and running using it?? | 20:03 |
| Hedron | ok, thanks | 20:03 |
| Daskreech | or ##hardware rather | 20:03 |
| Daskreech | Snowhog: hence limiting it only to package updates | 20:03 |
| Daskreech | So installing new programs still needs password but updates don't | 20:04 |
| Daskreech | I'm going to guess that CaptainKnots' auntie has been graced with auto login though so she may never know what her password is | 20:04 |
| CaptainKnots_ | ughh | 20:09 |
| CaptainKnots_ | anyone know how to apply NOPASSWD to Muon? | 20:09 |
| Daskreech | CaptainKnots_: works like anyother nopasswd sudo setup. You put the person to nopasswd with the muon-updater binary as a qualifier | 20:10 |
| Daskreech | !nopasswd | 20:10 |
| laurence | hello | 20:11 |
| Daskreech | Nearly hung around for a minute! | 20:15 |
| CaptainKnots_ | Daskreech: so a 'paula ALL = (ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' wouldn't cover it? | 20:17 |
| Daskreech | CaptainKnots_: It would cover it and much more | 20:17 |
| CaptainKnots_ | well that isn't working | 20:17 |
| CaptainKnots_ | Muon still asks for a password | 20:17 |
| Daskreech | the :ALL after NOPASSWD means she would never need to enter her password for anything | 20:17 |
| CaptainKnots_ | I know | 20:17 |
| CaptainKnots_ | idk why it's still asking for it | 20:18 |
| Daskreech | I forget. I think you may need to logout and back in to trigger that | 20:18 |
| CaptainKnots_ | ugh quassel keeps disconnecting me | 20:19 |

| Resistance | panda_boy_ZA: channels for...? | 21:22 |
| Daskreech | panda_boy_ZA: Ahm. Sort of but freenode is kind of large | 21:22 |
| panda_boy_ZA | dunno just new to IRC | 21:23 |
| panda_boy_ZA | the only Channel I got is kubuntu | 21:23 |
| StepNjump | Hi guys, i would like to change the ownership from root to my_user_id for all the files in my sdb1 drive. / is on sda1. Of course I could chown on all existing files in the partitions but this would be to be redone everytime I add a new file in there. Right now the only way to write to sdb1 is by being root. I know it has to do with fstab but since I'm new, anyone could point me to a tutorial to do this? I googled it and can't find exactly what I am lo | 21:24 |
| StepNjump | oking for. | 21:24 |
| panda_boy_ZA | aaah i guess this channel is only for Kubuntu q&A's ? | 21:24 |
| Snowhog | panda_boy_ZA: Correct. | 21:24 |

| factotum | there seems to be something going on with Kubuntu these days. It seems that there is a growing trend of things working the way they should be. Should I be concerned? | 22:29 |
| Snowhog | factotum: YES! There must be something wrong with your hardware!! Keep reinstalling until it breaks. :) | 22:37 |
| factotum | lol I always heard about it being some redheaded stepchild half-baked offshoot but i'm genuinely impressed. | 22:38 |
| * Snowhog at the doctors office: "So, what seems to be the trouble? 'Nothing, that's what's bothering me!'" | 22:39 | |
| factotum | that was me in the slackware days lol | 22:39 |
| factotum | "everythings up and running, everythings configured how I want it....time to start over I guess." | 22:40 |
| factotum | had to learn the hard way last night that tasksel not only give you an audio production environment, but xfce as well ala ubu studio. that was strange | 22:41 |
| factotum | im just glad that moin finaly came around. yast in opensuse was awkward | 22:42 |
| Daskreech | factotum: blue haired stepchild :) | 22:44 |

| ___PAGAL___ | yes disk :) | 22:48 |
| Daskreech | Snowhog: Never said that it would hurt you. Distros outside of Fedora are usually pretty good about not swapping things out from under you | 22:48 |
| Daskreech | Ubuntu is kinda getting into doing that as wel | 22:49 |
| factotum | 2007? Luxary. We had to sleep in a box in the middle of the road and compile our own kernels 2.4.x even, to get our hardware working properly | 22:49 |
| Daskreech | but trust me someone is tearing apart something cause it's boring right now | 22:49 |
| Daskreech | I remember when the announced they were going to change to 2.4 | 22:49 |

| Staly_Nick | Whats difference betwen Kubuntu and Ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| factotum | Snowhog: it doesn't turn off when the keyboard is in use and I can't click and drag. I'm stuck with double-clicking and draging the window border. Other option doesn't work | 23:04 |
| factotum | Staly_Nick: KDE instead of Unity | 23:05 |
| factotum | makes using inkscape and gimp a pain in the arse | 23:09 |
| factotum | Snowhog: there was an option in 10.x in the system settings gui, not it seems to have been removed. Strange. | 23:13 |
| Daskreech | !kubuntu | 23:13 |
| ubottu | kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 23:13 |
| Daskreech | factotum: It's technically KDE instead of GNOME | 23:14 |
| factotum | Daskreech: according to ubottu, yes. | 23:14 |
| Daskreech | factotum: according to actual facts :) | 23:15 |
| factotum | Oh, gnome is still the default? | 23:15 |
| factotum | Didn't know that. My bad. | 23:15 |
| factotum | I wonder if the really will go through with the whole Gubuntu thing for gnome. I heard some people started a petition for it. | 23:18 |
| factotum | Might as well, just add it to the roster. | 23:19 |
| factotum | Next up, Gnustepbuntu | 23:19 |
| Daskreech | factotum: Unity is just a shell on top of GNOME | 23:20 |
| factotum | AAAhhhh I get it now. Okay. | 23:20 |
| Daskreech | They are still using GNOME underneath the pretty (simple) interface | 23:20 |
| factotum | I dunno, it works well on my daughers netbook. It's all I know. | 23:20 |
| factotum | daughters...bleh stupid touchpad | 23:21 |
| Daskreech | Yeah it's a bit like plasma-netbook and plasma-desktop Different shells but the same KDE underneath | 23:21 |
| factotum | Cool! | 23:21 |
| Daskreech | factotum: synaptiks dosen't have the disable while typing option? | 23:21 |
| factotum | Daskreech. No for some reason it's not there anymore. Id did once upon a time with the 10.x release but it seems to be gone. Either that or relocated somewhere I haven't found yet. | 23:22 |
| Daskreech | I don't see why people would want a whole new distro to maintain so they can change one default package | 23:22 |
| factotum | Ego I guess. | 23:23 |
| Daskreech | more like fascination with pain | 23:27 |
| factotum | okay offtopic question: single player fps that isn't server-based. with a story line etc for linux. Does one exist? | 23:59 |
