[00:01] is there any documentation for ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc & plasma-desktoprc? [00:11] 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? === sam___ is now known as shadowh511 === casa is now known as shaqit [00:34] randomatix: Well, without know what the blog post you looked at is, or what "setting" it refers to, .... [00:36] Snowhog: well, the bigger question is "where are the settings in those files documented?". [00:37] Snowhog: and the secondary question is "Is there a way to make a panel unhide without a restart?" [00:39] Snowhog: for reference, the post is http://eyemeansit.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/restoring-a-lost-kde4-panel-that-wont-unhide/ [00:44] randomatix, maybe restarting plasma-desktop would work [00:45] 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 [00:46] 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. [00:48] Kimlaroux: And, yeah, there were a few rookie indicators in that post which made me less than eager to blindly make that settings change. [00:49] 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] It would be nice if the plasma settings were docuemented, perhaps something like http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries [00:50] Yeah, when I came back to KDE I couldn't find anything about it's configuration files. Kinda lame [00:51] the prevailing notion of just blowing away the settings file & starting over whenever things don't work is bothersome [00:52] 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. [00:53] Kimlaroux: the Firefox approach works for me. GUI for the common items, about:config for tweakier things. [00:53] Firefox is not a whole desktop though [00:54] Kimlaroux: right, just saying their hybrid method is appealing. [00:54] * Kimlaroux nods. [00:55] they seem free to add tweakable settings galore, without getting slowed down by decisions over what belongs in the gui [01:37] Anyone have methods of laptop power saving? [01:38] Linux is a monster in draining my macbook battery [01:38] Cpt_Andrew: have you tried powertop? [01:40] no does it help a lot? [01:40] i only played with the system setting power options [01:42] 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 [01:43] it hits some items not covered elsewhere. still not everything you'll need to do, though [01:44] i see, can it actually make the changes itself? [01:45] yeah. they may not be persistent. it's been a while since I used it.

I'm using Lubuntu but i installed KDE and nobody is answering over there :P [04:18] What is Konqeuror and how do i remove it without butchering KDE? [04:20] Bunie_: Konqeuror is a Web Browser and File Manager in one. [04:20] Snowhog: But like, doesnt KDE by default use a different file manager? [04:20] Snowhog: I use FireFox for my web browsing :P what use is Konqeuror to me? [04:21] Bunie_: Then don't use it. [04:21] but its required for KDE? :P [04:21] the file manager may come in handy someday anyways [04:22] 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] Bunie_: Konqueror isn't installed with the newer versions of Kubuntu, which now uses Rekonq as the default browser. [04:23] Ah. Well as i mentioned im using lubuntu :3 just needed some info on KDE ^^ [04:23] Thanks :D [04:24] 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] tough* [04:24] ;3 [06:05] Happy new year everyonr [06:05] Everyone [06:09] -.- === vincent is now known as Guest31310 === Guest1143 is now known as iTSotona === Alcine is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as jalcine === vincent is now known as Guest31095 === mohammad_ is now known as Guest76352 === Guest76352 is now known as MohammadAleppo === henningj_ is now known as henningj [10:35] someone tell me how to remove the x/y coords from the display when I shit a window on the desktop?

Do you get to the KDM login screen? If 'yes', are you returned to it (looping problem)? [21:08] sorry I shorted the paste, from before.
