| randomatix | is there any documentation for ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc & plasma-desktoprc? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| randomatix | My panel won't unhide when hovering at that edge. It does show the glow, like it's thinking about it. The only suggestion I've found is a blog post saying to change some undocumented value in plasma-desktoprc and reboot. It's not a good time to reboot, and I'd like to know what that setting really does. Any ideas? | 00:11 |
| === sam___ is now known as shadowh511 | ||
| === casa is now known as shaqit | ||
| Snowhog | randomatix: Well, without know what the blog post you looked at is, or what "setting" it refers to, .... | 00:34 |
| randomatix | Snowhog: well, the bigger question is "where are the settings in those files documented?". | 00:36 |
| randomatix | Snowhog: and the secondary question is "Is there a way to make a panel unhide without a restart?" | 00:37 |
| randomatix | Snowhog: for reference, the post is http://eyemeansit.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/restoring-a-lost-kde4-panel-that-wont-unhide/ | 00:39 |
| Kimlaroux | randomatix, maybe restarting plasma-desktop would work | 00:44 |
| Kimlaroux | and this blog post is silly... "Here’s the fix, assuming you have some folder on your desktop that will allow you to open up Dolphin:" I mean, this is Linux, you can do all that in one of the consoles | 00:45 |
| randomatix | Kimlaroux: Good idea. I may try restarting plasma-desktop next time. I might have found a workaround by doing something to generate a notification in the system tray. Will need to test that more. | 00:46 |
| randomatix | Kimlaroux: And, yeah, there were a few rookie indicators in that post which made me less than eager to blindly make that settings change. | 00:48 |
| Kimlaroux | Bah it's just a visual setting for KDE... should be pretty same IMO. KDE used to be 100% configurable through text files... | 00:49 |
| randomatix | It would be nice if the plasma settings were docuemented, perhaps something like http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries | 00:49 |
| Kimlaroux | Yeah, when I came back to KDE I couldn't find anything about it's configuration files. Kinda lame | 00:50 |
| randomatix | the prevailing notion of just blowing away the settings file & starting over whenever things don't work is bothersome | 00:51 |
| Kimlaroux | what annoys me more is the "point and click" of it all... Many things can only be configured through point-and-click setting panels. It's really a pain when those settings don't work. | 00:52 |
| randomatix | Kimlaroux: the Firefox approach works for me. GUI for the common items, about:config for tweakier things. | 00:53 |
| Kimlaroux | Firefox is not a whole desktop though | 00:53 |
| randomatix | Kimlaroux: right, just saying their hybrid method is appealing. | 00:54 |
| * Kimlaroux nods. | 00:54 | |
| randomatix | they seem free to add tweakable settings galore, without getting slowed down by decisions over what belongs in the gui | 00:55 |
| Cpt_Andrew | Anyone have methods of laptop power saving? | 01:37 |
| Cpt_Andrew | Linux is a monster in draining my macbook battery | 01:38 |
| randomatix | Cpt_Andrew: have you tried powertop? | 01:38 |
| Cpt_Andrew | no does it help a lot? | 01:40 |
| Cpt_Andrew | i only played with the system setting power options | 01:40 |
| randomatix | powertop shows technical info about what's using power, with suggested changes. not really a consumer-friendly tool, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerTOP | 01:42 |
| randomatix | it hits some items not covered elsewhere. still not everything you'll need to do, though | 01:43 |
| Cpt_Andrew | i see, can it actually make the changes itself? | 01:44 |
| randomatix | yeah. they may not be persistent. it's been a while since I used it. | 01:45 |
| Cpt_Andrew | K thanks, i'll check it out | 01:47 |

| Bunie_ | Hey guys! I'm using Lubuntu but i installed KDE and nobody is answering over there :P | 04:18 |
| Bunie_ | What is Konqeuror and how do i remove it without butchering KDE? | 04:18 |
| Snowhog | Bunie_: Konqeuror is a Web Browser and File Manager in one. | 04:20 |
| Bunie_ | Snowhog: But like, doesnt KDE by default use a different file manager? | 04:20 |
| Bunie_ | Snowhog: I use FireFox for my web browsing :P what use is Konqeuror to me? | 04:20 |
| Snowhog | Bunie_: Then don't use it. | 04:21 |
| Bunie_ | but its required for KDE? :P | 04:21 |
| Bunie_ | the file manager may come in handy someday anyways | 04:21 |
| Bunie_ | I've installed everything but xfce, no idea why. some strange urge to install them all. cant manage to get xfce to work though. | 04:22 |
| Snowhog | Bunie_: Konqueror isn't installed with the newer versions of Kubuntu, which now uses Rekonq as the default browser. | 04:22 |
| Bunie_ | Ah. Well as i mentioned im using lubuntu :3 just needed some info on KDE ^^ | 04:23 |
| Bunie_ | Thanks :D | 04:23 |
| Bunie_ | KDE is very pretty. it seems more resource hoggish then Gnome though lols. its a touch choice i'll have to make over-time :D see you guys later ;D | 04:24 |

| Snowhog | SJr: Instead of providing the contents of your xsessions-errors file, how about describing what is happening? Do you get to the KDM login screen? If 'yes', are you returned to it (looping problem)? | 21:08 |
| SJr | sorry I shorted the paste, from before. | 21:08 |
| SJr | I just get hung on the 'K' | 21:08 |
| SJr | when the K starts fading in, it just hangs there. | 21:09 |
| SJr | I can login with xfce no problem | 21:09 |
| Snowhog | SJr: Reboot in to recovery (single user) mode. At the prompt type: df -h and see what is reported for space available under root ( / ). | 21:10 |
| SJr | 12 G free out of 28 total | 21:11 |
| SJr | Is there a reason to reboot into single user mode? | 21:11 |
| Snowhog | SJr: Hmm. Not a space problem then. When did you last get in successfully, and what has happened since then? | 21:12 |
| SJr | Home has 4 G free out of 44. | 21:12 |
| SJr | Probably about 2 weeks ago, nothing the locker was in my laptop, in standby. It did eventually lose power and all the contents of RAM were lost. | 21:12 |
| SJr | About 6 months it started where new users couldn't login at all | 21:12 |
| SJr | but up until two weeks ago my user could log in successfully | 21:13 |
| SJr | sorry the laptop was in my locker* | 21:13 |
| Snowhog | SJr: Can you boot using the previous kernel? | 21:16 |
| SJr | Not sure how, and I think if it comes to that I'm just going to wipe and re-install. | 21:16 |
| Snowhog | SJr: From the Grub menu, or do you have the Grub menu set to hidden? | 21:17 |
| SJr | probably set to hidden | 21:17 |
| SJr | I also think I upgraded the kernel jsut now | 21:17 |
| SJr | (as I did a dist-upgrade to fix it). | 21:17 |
| SJr | to try to fix it* | 21:17 |
| Snowhog | SJr: Ensure that none of the file/directories in your users /home directory are owned by root. From the command line type: ls -laR | grep root\ root and see if any files/directories are shown as owned by root. | 21:28 |
| SJr | grep root\ root | 21:29 |
| SJr | Hmmmmm | 21:29 |
| SJr | Okay some were, and lets see if that works | 21:30 |
| SJr | Nope | 21:30 |
| dolphin | hello | 21:36 |
| Snowhog | SJr: From the command line (having booted into recover mode), can you get to the Desktop Environment by typing: startx | 21:36 |
| SJr | Nope it just wants to throw me into xfce | 21:39 |
| SJr | kde-failsafe works via kdm | 21:39 |
| SJr | I'm just going to reinstall | 21:42 |
