Peyamkubuntu and ubuntu sucks00:26
szalfine for you..  if you have grounded complaints, file bugs..  if you just want to brag, gtfo00:28
szalyofel: a word on the status of KDE 4.7.4 for Oneiric?01:15
amasonszal: 4.7.4 will probably be available oneiric after the packages for precise have been made.01:15
szalamason: is that in the works atm?01:16
amasonit's been in the works since shortly after 4.7.4 came out i think.01:16
amasoni am unsure what exactly the blockers are or if there are any...it could just be in the build queue01:17
amasonthere is a decent amount of changes going on atm so that wouldn't surprise me.01:17
szalamason: I heard of a case of a garbled system w/ 4.7.4 on openSUSE the other day01:22
amasonoh ok. i haven't built 4.7.4 myself yet so i can't really comment. but i know that the kubuntu devs are pretty busy at the moment so in terms of getting 4.7.4 it's probably a case of when it's ready it will be in the repos01:24
szalI suppose so, but I guess it's been at least a week already that it was released01:25
szal(#kde doesn't have that info in the topic any more)01:26
amasonwell if they choose 4.8 for precise then it may not hit oneric at all01:26
amasonare you looking for a specific change / fix in 4.7.4 ?01:27
amasonif so you can probably just build that subsystem01:27
* szal was guessing the other day that they'd be going for 4.7.5 in Precise due to it being an LTS01:27
szalamason: Okular in 4.7.3 doesn't print correctly; top margin is ignored and print begins at what is set as top margin in the settings dialog01:28
amasonwell precise isn't going to be released till 12.04 and theoretically 4.8 will be released then01:28
amasonso it really depends what the devs feel comfortable supporting for 5 years01:28
amasonmy guess is that if 4.8 is looking reasonable they will go for that01:29
amasongiven that they will get at least 3 minor updates to 4.801:29
szalmy guess was that in April we'll have 4.8.1, and that is traditionally far from bug-free01:29
szalthe .1 release, that is01:30
amasonyeh but that isn't necesarily better from a suppport perspecitive :)01:30
szalexactly01:30
amasonso unless 4.8 is fairly broken i'll hazzard to guess a buggy but upstream supported release will be included over a less buggy / less featured / less supported release for an LTS01:31
amason5 years is a long time and if someone can do some of that work for you it's an awefully big carrot01:32
szalah, just found the repo; gonna update my testbed system to 4.7.4 (openSUSE 12.1) & see what it's like01:35
amasonopensuse has some good rolling repos i think01:37
amasonif only it didn't use YaST i'd consider it for my desktop01:37
szalamason: nothing wrong w/ YaST :)01:39
amasonnot saying there is anything wrong with it , it's just not my cup of tea.01:40

szalamason: http://www.abload.de/img/20111214_fullscreenx6pxb.png <- just for the lulz, KDE 4.7.4, openSUSE 12.1..  no desktop effects (legacy gfx driver makes KDE not run w/ effects on), few customizations (UI font (yes, that is Ubuntu, and I think it looks better on SUSE ;)), window title bar, clock font colour)02:18
amasonnice02:18
amasoni have recently obtained a sandy bridge machine with an intel graphics chip, the difference in experience is night an day02:19
amasoni have other systems, ati and nvidia which theoretically are 'better' cards02:19
amasonbut the general desktop performance with the intel drivers is just wonderful02:20
amasoncompletely changes how i use the desktop02:20

Guest64093hi. i liked the mandriva representation of kde. the dash and all. can i do the same in kubuntu? how? help please05:48
chris122380I am also useing the broadcom legacy driver05:49
amasonGuest64093: you might need to describe how it worked05:50
chris122380used to be able to connect on ubuntu but can't on kubuntu05:50
amasonGuest64093: alot of people in this channel probably have never used mandriva , myself included05:51
Guest64093amason: like there is dash interface in gnome3. the same dash interface in kde05:51
amasoni also haven't used gnome3 sorry05:51
Guest64093ok05:51
Guest64093nvm05:51
amasondo you have a screenshot ?05:51
Guest64093sure. juist a min05:51
chris122380so no wpa2 for me then:-(05:52
chris122380Can't connect to my HOAs network then05:52
amasonchris122380: ubuntu and kubuntu both use the same kernel05:53
chris122380I know that05:53
cyberworm54holla kubuntu community05:53
chris122380the problem isn't the kernel05:53
amasoncan you use nm-applet then ?05:53
chris122380problem with network manager I believe05:53
amasonk well the only difference between kubuntu / ubuntu wrt to network-manager is the network manager interfaces05:54
amasonso i'd try nm-applet and see if that works05:54
chris122380nm-applet?05:54
Guest64093amason: http://imagebin.org/188479 this comes up when we press alt f105:55
cyberworm54try to modify the file manually05:55
chris122380that is the gnome network manager05:55
amasonchris122380: the gnome network manager interface05:55
amasonyeh05:55
chris122380that would break KDE05:55
amasonbreak ?05:55
amasonhow so ?05:55
chris122380I just want to have KDE working05:56
cyberworm54whats the problem? if you dont mind me asking05:56
amasonchris122380: well obviously it doesn't for your particular setup for one reason or another, it could be a bug in kde's network manager in which case your not going to find an immediate answer in irc.05:57
chris122380How do I get the latest KDE network manager05:57
amasonuse the latest version of kde 4.7.405:58
chris122380How do I get the network manager for kde 4.7.4?05:58
amasonGuest64093: you could try the plasma layout...right click -> layout -> search and launch05:58
amasonchris122380: it comes with kde 4.7.405:59
chris122380that still dosen't tell me anything05:59
chris122380How do I re-install network manager?05:59
amasonnetwork manager != kde's network manager interface. if ubuntu works for you but kubuntu doesn't then the problem is in the kde interface to network manager06:00
chris122380I understand that but how do I do a reinstall of network manager?06:01
amasonif you use the kubuntu ppa and install kde 4.7.4 you get _the_ lastest released version of kde's interface to network manager06:01
amasonlatest*06:01
amasonapt-get install --reinstall06:01
amasoni think06:01
amasonmight need to look at the exact flags06:02
chris122380yes but what is the package name for the kde network manager?06:02
cyberworm54network-manager-gnome06:02
amasonnetwork-manager-kde is kubuntu's06:03
cyberworm54network-manager-kde06:03
chris122380need to reboot thank you. We shell see if this works if not then i'll look for kubuntu ppa06:04

gorgonizerray1claw: it is telepathy-kde10:45
ray1clawgorgonizer: is it a complete client? or just a backend?10:46
gorgonizerthough you might need the PPA at    ppa:telepathy-kde/ppa10:46
gorgonizerit is a complete replacement for Kopete on the whole, though I am having FB Chat issues with Telepathy, but MSN and GTalk work fine..10:47
gorgonizerThe PPA has the KDE specific parts for Telepathy, the rest of telepathy should be in the normal Ubuntu repos..10:48
ray1clawhmm, you can try using <username>@chat.facebook.com on jabber with that.. it works okay in kopete10:48
jtheuerhey, how can I verify the actual graphics driver used by X? (now that we don't have a config anymore *g*)10:48
gorgonizerray1claw: it connects in Telepathy, then just disconnects after a while, which then needs me to enter my KWallet password and I get annoyed, so I disabled FB chat in Telepathy and just have it in Kopete until I get it working..10:49

[Relic](npviewer.bin:7083): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS6417:45
cire[Relic]: this happens when installing a package?17:45
cireor only when installing flash package?17:46
[Relic]thinking mone part got installed and the other didn't17:46
[Relic]this is flash; they renamed the packages when they moved to the new version17:46
cire[Relic]: So it _did_ install, but is not running correctly, right?17:47
[Relic]this time17:47
[Relic]removed both listed pakages through apt so hopefully a new install will work17:48
cireok17:48
[Relic]now it is back to not working and wrong elf class17:48
cire[Relic]: did you change somehow from 32 to 64 bit?17:49
cireall I find concerning you topic seems to be platform related17:49
[Relic]been 64 all the time17:50
[Relic]got them both removed from apt-get, now will try apper to install but not sure if I select one or both17:50
cirewhat do you mean by "both"?17:51
cirewhat are they called?17:51
[Relic]flashplugin-downloader and flashplugin-installer17:53
cire-downloader is uninstalled here. -installer works fine.17:53
cireI think you're right, this was the old version17:53
[Relic]they both say the same thing17:53
cireweird, apt-cache show tells me -installer depends on -downloader17:54
cireI have only installer17:54
[Relic]won't work17:54
[Relic]installer wants to use downloader and the say it can't configure it17:55
cire[Relic]: did you try installing it via console?17:55
ciresudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer17:55
cireso you get the apt output17:55
[Relic]tried removing one via apt and the other one then installs17:56
cireI just don't get it... dpkg -l *flash* tells me -downloader is uninstalled, trying to install it manually gets me "is latest version"17:57
cirewhat the hell...17:57
[Relic]welcome to my problem17:57
[Relic]wonder if flash aid was brought up to normal17:58
cireI was using debian for years and switched to (k)ubuntu a few days ago. So either this is (k)ubuntu related, or just rubbish17:58
cireokay, apt-get policy tells me -downloader is installed17:59
BarkingFishGuys, just wondering if you could help me - I want to burn a set of AVI's to a DVD, so that when you open the DVD, you get a menu, thumbnails of the episodes, etc - is there any good software for making video DVDs which don't require you to have Video_RM and Video_TS files?17:59
cireBarkingFish: these menus and stuff are part of the video DVD spec as I remember, and so are VIDEO_TS and stuff. You can't use one without the other, Iimho18:00
cirebut perhaps an expert will tell sth other18:01
BarkingFishhm. And all I have are AVIs. I've never made a Video DVD before, much less tried to figure out what goes where...18:01
cireBarkingFish: I did never do that, but there should be tools converting your avis to mpeg2 (VIDEO_TS format) and adding menus.18:02
cirebut expect them to get larger than the avis18:02
[Relic]k3b has a new video CD/DVD options; not sure if that handles that automatically or not since I have never used it18:03
cirethis VIDEO_TS stuff is made for running in hardware decoders as DVD players, so it may not be that efficient in encoding18:03
BarkingFishcire: yeah, which won't help.  I have a 52 episode series to put on dvd, at roughly 176MB per episode18:04
BarkingFishif I convert those to mpeg2ts, they'll be freaking huge :(18:04
cireBarkingFish: so get rid of those menu stuff ;)18:05
cireBarkingFish: where is it supposed to run?18:05
cirehardware dvd players, or just computers?18:05
BarkingFishcire: I wanted to do the menu, so I could make it look a little more...professional.. I'm learning new things, and can't "not" do them, just because it's complicated :)18:05
BarkingFishhardware dvd player18:06
BarkingFishI want something I can take out of my machine and watch in bed of a night, or when I'm relaxing.18:06
cireBarkingFish: so you're lost. imho it is not complicated, it is useless. You can either make a proper video DVD and following the specs, or ignore them and let the menus go18:06
BarkingFishI'll flip open kdenlive and see how big an mpeg2 transport stream comes out at.18:07
cireBarkingFish: I don't think you will succeed in putting all the episodes on one disk with mpeg218:08
cirebut yeah, give it a try18:08
cireand tell me how big it was, never tried it :)18:08
BarkingFishMaybe not on one disk, I can break it down into two or three maybe, depends how big the files come out at18:08
BarkingFishwell I'll soon see, I'm sucking the first episode into kdenlive now...18:09
cireBarkingFish: Why are you using kdenlive for that?!18:09
BarkingFishbecause it's all I have, and all I know how to use.18:09
cirethats a powerful non linear video editing system. You just need a file conversion tool, right?18:10
BarkingFishWhy do you think I was asking for help with other video editors??? :)18:10
cireI would do it in the commandline, but there are tons of frontends for these commandline converters18:10
cirewait18:10
BarkingFishok18:10
cireBarkingFish: give avidemux a try18:11
BarkingFishi have no idea how to use it, but anything's worth a shot18:12
BarkingFishHoly grud on a green stick.18:13
cireBarkingFish: it is very straightforward18:13
BarkingFish1 avi file, 176mb  -  sent out to .mpg at a reasonable video rate, resized and deinterlace...18:13
BarkingFish380.46MB, estimated render time: 05:42:1118:14
cireyeah18:15
BarkingFishI'm like, what the ....18:15
cirebut you also have to take care of the audio stream18:15
cirehardware dvd players don't play mp3 afaik18:15
cirebut I am no expert for this18:15
[Relic]this is getting annoying18:16
BarkingFish[Relic]: what is getting annoying?18:16
[Relic]not getting flash running18:17

jbwivguys, I was listening to amarok earlier. However, it froze, I killed it. Now, upon restarting, even though it seems to be playing mp3s there is no sound. I have sound from other applications like firefox. I've checked for hung amarok process and don't see any. any ideas on how to fix without a reboot?22:22
BluesKajjbwiv, try starting amarok from the terminal and pastebin the output22:28
jbwivBluesKaj, actually, now all sound has stopped :-/ does kde on ubuntu use pulseaudio? is restarting it as simple as killing the daemon?22:34
BluesKajjbwiv, ok run pulseaudio in the cli or krunner (alt+f2)'22:36
BluesKajjbwiv, yes pulseaudio is installed by default22:37
