Folklore"I'm thinking on moving to Suse. The main reasin is that Ubuntu is very dedicated to Gnome, and Kubuntu has bad support... I prefer KDE. Who uses Kubuntu, desn't think this also?"00:32
Folkloreis this true?00:32
Folkloream tryin to install os with kde for code testing00:32
holsteinFolklore: you can use kubuntu, or install KDE in ubuntu, or any of the other *buntu's, or any other distro... all should have KDE in the repositories00:36
Folklorewhy does kubuntu exist then00:37
holsteinFolklore: its ubuntu with KDE, and other customizations00:37
holsteinout of the box, kubuntu is a certain look and feel00:37
mase_workand also Ubuntu / Kubuntu is supposed to be easy so asking a user which desktop they prefer when they have no idea what a desktop is, is counter productive00:38
holsteinyeah, putting in a disk and being asked 'kde or gnome' and saying 'wonder what that means' ;)00:39
holsteini remember that00:39
holsteinFolklore: theres also no reason to "install" a kde os.. you can run one live for testing an application00:40
DdpbfKDE os?00:40
Folkloreits an application I wrote00:40
Folkloretrying to port it, so can't do the livecd thing need it to save stuff00:41
holsteinFolklore: right... load the live CD... test the application00:41
Folkloreit needs to save to the hardware, so I can dev it00:41
Folklorelive cd only saves to mem00:41
holsteinOK.. i assume virtualization is not an option00:42
Folkloreyeah im running it in vbox00:42
holsteinanyways.. suse has a nice KDE implementation too... i say either one will work fine00:42
holsteini usually find my way back to buntu becuase of the community00:42
Folkloreholstein funny you mention that, am downloading opensuse right now00:42
FolkloreI tried fedora but fedora too brutal on system resources, needs ovee 700mbs to install00:42
Folkloreand was maxin my cpu non-stop00:43
Folklorefor their kde version00:43
Folklore700mbs being the ram00:43
Folkloreover that00:43
holsteinFolklore: you dont go to KDE to be light on resources00:43
FolkloreI don't go to it to wreck my hardware either00:44
Folklorepcbsd has kde and isn't so hardcore(freebsd+kde)00:45
holsteinFolklore: isnt that an older verion?00:46
holsteinanyways, you can lighten it up in kubuntu im sure, but when i want light, i go LXDE00:47
Ddpbfholsteind: KDE could be ultralight also just  look this http://paste.kde.org/156794/00:47
DdpbfKDE on Pentium III00:47
Folkloreholstein yeah, lubuntu is my favorite nix os atm00:47
Folkloreincredibly fast, great on resources00:47
Folkloreuses lxde00:47
DdpbfFolklore: it use half of gnome and lxde00:48
Ddpbflxde is 7 mb00:48
Ddpbfeven less00:48
holsteinsee.. you should talk to Ddpbf, Folklore ... see how he/she has it configured00:48
DdpbfHe definetley00:48
StepNjumpI no longer can log on to my profile on kubuntu since I changed the name of a file in the name $media$*.arc. Do any of you know this file under kubuntu?00:49
Folkloreholstein im not a linux guy00:49
holsteinFolklore: right.. but Ddpbf is00:49
Folklorethats like matrix text to me00:49
holsteinand is using KDE on a p300:49
holsteinif you say its heavy, i agree, and thats the man to help you slim it down00:49
Folklorenot trying to waste lot of his time, maybe he'll be so kind to make a quick write up for noobs or something00:49
Folkloreso all can benefit00:49
holstein?00:49
DdpbfHolstein, this is my friend acctaully, i have few years newer maching00:49
holsteinFolklore: is it installed?00:49
Folklorestep by step kinda thing00:49
Ddpbf*machine00:49
holsteinjust test the application00:50
Ddpbfhe just show me this00:50
Ddpbffew hours ago00:50
holsteinim not clear on what the issue is Folklore ?00:50
Ddpbf:)00:50
holsteinif you are not wanting to waste time, just install kubuntu, and test00:50
Folkloreis his friends box holstein00:50
holsteinFolklore: ?00:50
DdpbfFolklore:  do you want just00:51
Ddpbfessential KDE00:51
Ddpbfnot full strenght00:51
StepNjumpis there a way to decrypt .encryptfs using just my password (not the passphrase)00:51
StepNjumpfrom the terminal?00:51
Folkloredbpbf yup00:51
Ddpbfsudo apt-get isntall kde-plasma-desktop00:52
Ddpbf*install00:52
Ddpbfit is  the bare-minimum required of KDE00:52
FolkloreI do that after installing kubuntu?00:52
Ddpbferr00:52
Ddpbfdo it from your lubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu00:53
Ddpbfwhatever do you use00:53
Folkloredo I gotta edit autostart script or anything00:53
Ddpbfalso there is metapackage kde-minimal00:53
Folkloreor will the two cmds above get it done00:53
Ddpbfnope00:53
Folkloreand I can just boot into kde00:53
Ddpbfyou will get kdm with it also00:53
Ddpbfso you could start kde session00:54
DdpbfThat way you could see if you like KDE00:54
Ddpbfand decide if you want to switch to kubuntu00:54
Folklorei've used kde before00:56
Folklorei just want a kde setup to test install code, like right click menu entry00:56
Folkloreicons, etc...00:56
Folklorexdg-mime seems broken on lubuntu00:56
holsteinFolklore: then install those pacakges Ddpbf mentioned, and test :)00:56
Folkloreand I need that to register file types, might just do it manually00:56
Folklorethanks ddpbf00:57

jubo2Hi.. I have a problem with Kubuntu.. The Wlan doesn't connect, it just fails in a blink of an eye12:00
jubo2only way to make it connect is to remove the wlan basestation from the known networks and re-add it then the wlan connects _once_12:01
jubo2btw. Nice job bolting in the full screen task switcher .. people switching from Mapples will find it comfortable12:02
jubo2any help would be appreciated. I've already evaluated Xubuntu and find it ridden with small but annoying bugs. Now I'm looking at Kubuntu..12:06

BluesKaje01, can you say kde , there are lots of ppas14:57
e01i was take a look yesterday, there is no official beta for 4.8, i just asked for some fan, if it maked own already and you guys knows, not more ;)14:58
Peace-e01: there is the neon-project14:59
Peace-e01: it should build kde daily or weekly14:59
Peace-!neon14:59
ubottuProject Neon provides set of daily builds of KDE and releated modules | See https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/ProjectNeon | More support in #project-neon14:59
Peace-e01: and of course there is the ppa14:59
Peace-but it's not stable :)14:59
Peace-so.... if you want a stable release you should use kubuntu.org to see when it will be released , instead if you are brave.... you could try neon15:00
* Peace- switch to project-neon session15:01
BluesKaj!bg | e0115:01
ubottue01: опитайте #ubuntu-bg за български потребители . try #ubuntu-bg for bulgarian users, and please idle there patiently15:01

BluesKajpea , he's using a translator which is just garbling what he's trying to say15:02

e01project neon is exactly what i looking for15:02
e01BluesKaj, not, i am not using translator, just mine translation skills are terrible15:03
e01i am excuse for15:03
BluesKaje01, I tried the neon project ..found it disappointing , but that's my opinion15:04
BluesKajyou might like it15:05
e01BluesKaj, i just want to see the news in the kde4.8 but i have no enough time to compile it on my broken ubuntu 12 :D15:07
e01and more, want to see if kwin is optimized as the devs says and will resize really smoothly than before15:08
BluesKaje01, well, I hope so too , but I'll wait until 4.8 is officially released15:09
BluesKajI'm also running 12.0415:09
e01just i was take a tour between the DEs for testing only, after test and the kde, i think to return to the 11.04 again15:11

XmannIs lightdm better than kdm or gdm?15:27

ubottuUsually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.15:27
XmannDoes lightdm make system boot faster?15:28
Xmann???15:28
Peace-boot?15:28
XmannYes15:29
Peace-ldm is a program15:29
Peace-and boot is the kernel15:29
XmannComparing to gdm ,kdm15:29
BluesKajXmann, dunno , this is a kubuntu support chat , kubuntu uses kdm, ask in #ubuntu15:29
Peace-BluesKaj: :)15:29
Peace-Xmann: btw ldm is a program that is started after boot is done15:30
Peace-so... kdm gdm or ldm doesn't matter15:30
Xmannlightdm is a display manager15:30

Peace-maiz: if you add -vf scale=640:480 before the output.avi you had scaled your video to 640x480 :D17:02
Peace-maiz: for audio :D boh17:03
maizPeace-: ok, I got it already. I increased the capture volume,17:03

Kottizenhi everyone - I just bought a new PC and I'd like to have my sound go through a HDMI cable, how'd I accomplish that?19:24
KottizenI've set HDMI to the preferred phonon and also plugged in the HDMI cable in the nVidia graphics card HDMI input (there are two HDMI spots, one internal and one nVidia)19:25
Kottizenhowever... it still doesn't work and I'm not sure how to debug this19:25
BluesKajKottizen, I hope you connected the hdmi cable to the output , unless you're trying to capture audio19:28
KottizenBluesKaj: ah yes, sorry - the output19:28
Kottizenoh actually19:28
Kottizenlet me check19:28
Kottizencan only find one port, so I guess it's the one out19:31
BluesKajthe nvidia hdmi ?19:32
Kottizenyes19:32
BluesKajKottizen, is the nvidia card a separate pci graphics card  ? If so make sure you it set as default in the BIOS19:33
KottizenBluesKaj: it is - thanks, will check that19:33
BluesKajKottizen, I'm not real sure about the audio settings for separate hdmi . I'm pretty sure if you set it in phonon and the test sound works . you should be ok19:35
KottizenBluesKaj: unfortunately I haven't heard a single sound since I installed the system, not even from the test sounds19:43
Kottizenit works in Windows, just confirmed that19:48
BluesKajKottizen. open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure your hdmi and master ctrls are all turned up to at least 80%19:48
Kottizenhow do I see which one'19:48
Kottizen's HDMI?19:48
BluesKajyes19:48
BluesKajit should be labelled19:49
Kottizenthis is what I see: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/09/plasma-desktopIf1491.jpg19:49
BluesKajKottizen, disable the automute setting19:51
Kottizenand no matter which one I choose, I always get this error (right-bottom corner): http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/09/plasma-desktopxJ1491.jpg19:51
Kottizenokay19:51
Kottizenit'd be nice to see what kind of error it actually was19:52
BluesKajKottizen, ok in phonon , choose the fallback hdmi option that shows in the error ,if it's listed19:58
BluesKajKottizen, you can check for phonon / pulseaudio errors in /var/log , if you feel like searching19:59
KottizenBluesKaj: this is weird - only the first one causes that error - when I select any of the other ones and click Apply I don't get that error anymore19:59
KottizenI'll do, thanks for the tup20:00
Kottizentip20:00
BluesKajKottizen, can you pastebin the phonon list settings pls20:00
Kottizenwhere do I find it?20:01
BluesKajKottizen, the device preference tab in phonon20:02
KottizenBluesKaj: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/09/plasma-desktopAn1491.jpg20:03
BluesKajKottizen, does the choice shown in you paste test ok ?20:04
BluesKajyour20:04
KottizenBluesKaj: nope - I don't hear any sound when clicking 'Test'20:05
BluesKajKottizen, in the terminal, cat /proc/asound/cards20:07
KottizenBluesKaj: I found this to be interesting (pressed F6 in alsamixer and chose the HDMI nVidia): http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/09/plasma-desktopjk1491.jpg20:09

BluesKajok try the hdmis and the pchs as well to see what the default is20:25
Kottizenclicked 'Test' for each one of them now, heard no sound20:26
KottizenI let each test run for like... three seconds or so20:26
BluesKajKottizen, if you pass the cursor over the diffent choices the dialog will show some info, find the one gives 'Card 0'20:27
BluesKajKottizen, what is the other end of the hdmi connected to ?20:28
Kottizena home cinema20:28
KottizenI get three with CARD=0 and a few with CARD=NVidia20:28
Kottizenand the home cinema worked fine on Windows, on the same physical machine20:28
BluesKajan are any of the hdmis card 0 ?20:29
Kottizennope20:29
BluesKajcard 0 is the default soundcard , so we need to change it , to the nvidia hdmi20:31
Kottizenthat'd be card 1 - how do I change it?20:32
BluesKajnot necessarily card 1 , open this file paste it , /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf20:33

zorsHi everyone, time for a stupid question.  Currently running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit edition on my old spare laptop:  1.8GHz CPU, 2Gb RAM, 120 Gb HDD & Intel 965 Video.  Sorry if I offend anyone but REALLY, for ME, Unity (including 2D version) sucks.  It's slow as hell and counterproductive, and I've HAD IT!  So it's time for a change.  After hearing from a friend how well KDE runs nowadays, I might just give it a try.  Having never tried it, the Question is:21:02
zors  Should I get the 32 or 64 bit version?  Which would be more appropriate for this laptop?, and lastly, what are the Pros and Cons of running on version instead of the other on this system?  Does a 64 bit OS really make ANY difference?  Maybe someone can enlighten me.  Sorry for the long post (and the venting.. ;)).  Hoping someone can help me out here.21:02
linxuser__aurimas__: sorry about that. I rarely use windows and gave up on wine couple years ago21:03
koleopterozors: I'd go with the 32bit21:04
koleopterozors: do you know the precise cpu model?21:05
Joitfor wine, at last, it works, when you install missing things over wine from windows, i did do that with a missing font and it worked great, so he/she may only should had it install something like sun java under wine21:06
linxuser__zors: ditto on the 32 bit. It'll load and run on either 32 or 64 bit machine while 64 bit will load/run on most 64 bit machines, likely all amd64s.21:06
zorskoleoptero: Yeah, sorry, Celeron M540 1.8 Ghz (single-core obviously)21:07
koleopterozors: well I'd use 32bit if I were you, 64bit might be better for some server tasks but it has problems with flash and uses more RAM of which you don't have that much (I know because I also have 2gb ;))21:09
koleopteroso yes go for 32bit21:10
zorskoleoptero:  thanks for the help, will get the 32 bit ISO then.21:11
koleopteronp and welcome to the fold :)21:11
szalkoleoptero: the Flash problems w/ 64bit are a thing of the past21:13
koleopteroyou mean by using the 64bit flash ppa?21:14
szalkoleoptero: that isn't even needed any more, at least not w/ Oneiric21:16
koleopterothanks for telling me, I hadn't checked, my bad21:17
koleopteroI'd still recommend a 32bit install for a pc with 2gb of ram though21:17
Deet`having problems reading a micro SD card. phone won't read it, windows can't format it, so i figured i'd try linux, but i can't even find it there21:19
BluesKajkoleoptero, 64 bitt works fine on my 64bit amd single core cpu , with 2G RAM ..no lags21:23
koleopteroBluesKaj: there's no definite reason it shouldn't, but since it uses more ram than 32bit, and there's not much to gain from 64bit I'd prefer it21:24
BluesKajkoleoptero, I tried 32 bit on the 64 bit pc , there wasn't much of an advantage in my experience , never noticed whether it used more ram for given application tho21:27
koleopteroBluesKaj: it generally does, and in some cases I've seen extreme differences, although sadly I haven't kept notes on it since most modern pcs that can run 64bit have exuberant amounts of ram which requires 64bit anyway21:29
linxuser__BluesKaj: Koeoptero> My own experience with this 2 yr old Intel 64 the other day tried 64 bit linux today running 32. 64 seemed slugish21:30
Deet`so where do i find a usb device that doesn't mount itself?21:32
BluesKajthis pc is pretty plain jane , 2 core amd cpu , 3G RAM, added a nvidia 7600gt and and m-audio 192 souncdard, seldom lags , but i don't run several apps at once , since I'm in a home setting21:32

Kottizenand modprobe it?22:57
