[00:03] hi, I just launched the update and now I cannot install kde-workspace-bin, it says it has unmet dependencies. what's going on? [00:06] ale`: what depends is it looking for? [00:12] DaskreecH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827098/ [00:20] ale`: you are installing KDE 4.8 ? [00:22] DaskreecH: I don't really know, I just ran the update tool ^^; [00:22] ha ha did you try the KDE 4.8 beta ? [00:23] DaskreecH: no, btw, I just checked kdebase-bin and it's 4:4.7.4 [00:25] ale`: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list ? [00:25] DaskreecH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827110/ [00:31] !netsplit [00:31] !netsplit [00:31] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [00:31] ignore the dumb bots please... [00:32] ale`: can you tell me if gives you anything? [00:32] Heh, normally do after telling someone [00:32] !netsplit [00:32] !netsplit [00:32] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [00:32] ook, so that was my fault [00:36] um.... [00:37] i dont see any netspluts...? [00:37] because there wasn't any [00:37] what happened here? [00:37] -rw------- 1 N2N new2net 5 Jan 22 01:14 : [00:37] -????????? ? ? ? ? ? 2012.tar.bz2 [00:37] then why were the floodbots claiming so? [00:37] because they are broken atm [00:38] DaskreecH: yes, I have quite some files http://paste.ubuntu.com/827117/ [00:38] ah [00:38] so i should be poking #ubuntu-ops :P [00:38] saying "FIX THE FLOODBOTS IN THE WORLD!" [00:38] they're broken in #ubuntu too [00:39] they are fine in #ubuntu [00:39] ale`: can you pastebin apt-cache policy kde-workspace-bin [00:39] and I'm working on the ones in here [00:39] ts2: Where is your gif of a man with shovel that says under construction? :) [00:40] DaskreecH: I'm currently hitting the floodbots over the head with it [00:40] DaskreecH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827125/ [00:41] DaskreecH: uhm, I see the problem, it's taking it from ppa :O [00:41] ale`: disable that PPA then [00:41] SOLVED! [00:42] :) [00:43] I can't even remember the reason why I added that ppa [00:44] ahh, I remember now, probably a gtk3 engine [00:44] ts2, they actually broke a few days ago, there were 8 timeout quits and it still does that [00:45] EvilResistance: long as they are fixed by tomorrow [00:45] EvilResistance: there's not much to be done about timeouts, they happen from time to time [00:47] yeah, but it shouldnt trigger !netsplit for them [00:50] DaskreecH: I removed the ppa, and tried to install kubuntu-desktop, but it's complaining like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827128/ . Is there a way to let it do its job (i.e. downgrading the dependencies) without too much hassle? [00:51] EvilResistance: the timeout has nothing to do with it triggering netsplits [00:57] ale`: You did an apt-get update already right? [00:58] hi guys !! [00:58] is anyone running kde 4.8 on here ? [00:58] DaskreecH: yes :-) [00:59] :-) [00:59] DoctorPepper: Yes! [00:59] Not me but someone is [01:00] ale`: what's the apt-cache policy say for kde-workspace-bin now ? [01:01] DaskreecH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827136/ [01:01] ale`: sudo apt-get install kde-workspace-bin [01:02] DaskreecH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827139/ [01:03] apt-cache policy kde-workspace-data kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins [01:03] i need someone help me , i have an issue running python based plasmoid i get follwing error when adding them to a panel or the desktop "could not create python ScriptEgine for x widget" but the work just fine if i test them with plasmoidview [01:04] i mean plasmoidviewer [01:07] DoctorPepper: you have kdeplasma-addons installed? [01:07] Im wanting to write a research paper on the viability of FOSS/OSS being not only a good idea, but a viable replacement for the commercial OS's/programs. can anybody help point me in the right direction with something like an archive, or reputable sources? [01:08] no [01:09] but everything was working fine until i did an update yesterday [01:10] DaskreecH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827145/ [01:10] DoctorPepper: Ah Well maybe review the update log? or run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:11] Linkmaster: What? [01:11] ale`: sudo apt-get remove kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kde-workspace-data && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:12] DaskreecH: uhh..wanna write a 8-9 page research paper on how linux would be better to use then windows essentially [01:12] Linkmaster: right. what level of research paper is this? [01:12] I'm guessing not tertiary level? [01:13] DaskreecH: collegle level course [01:13] *that is, college in highschool [01:13] ha ha right ok may want to limit some of that to use cases [01:13] but the teacher used to teach at the USNA, so he teaches it like a college course, and i want to get a jumpstart on the paper [01:14] well yes, it would be for our standard homeowner(the biggest war between microsith and linux right now) [01:14] Thats a little like saying an F1 is better to use than a Windstar [01:14] you aren't really going to prove that to anyone in an 8 page paper. Come up with some use cases and lets go from there [01:17] DaskreecH: it complains about other packages in the same way... I guess finally It's easier to just manually reinstall those packages with the correct versions [01:17] It's incredible there is no tool that does this automatically [01:17] ale`: wellsome were installed already Tht's what the lib/dpkg/status is [01:18] ale`: also for some reason you have some KDE packages uninstalled completely soo not sure what happened before this but needless to say watch your PPAs more carefully [01:18] DaskreecH: dang? still not simple enough..true, with reflection, you are correct..could you join #kubuntu-offtopic so that we dont flood the main support channel? [01:19] Aptitude may sort some of that out :) [01:25] How do you edit the Kmenu so that you can add a category like "programming" and put programming applications in it? [01:25] so that it shows up with the other application categories [01:26] em: Right click the menu and choose edit [01:26] DaskreecH: thanks for suggesting aptitude ^^; first time using it, worked great [01:26] em: when you install programming stuff, it'll automatically do it. if not, rightclick on it, 'edit applications' and you get box to be able to edit literally everything about the menu to your desires [01:26] DaskreecH: I saw that but from that how do you set it to show up or not? [01:27] If there is a program in there it will show up if there isn't a program then it doesn't [01:27] there is a catgegory in there called 'education' but no applications show up in the menu or that [01:27] "education" doesn't show up. [01:28] It just starts with "Games" [01:28] If there are no applications under education then the education category will not show up [01:28] ^ as he said, you have to specifically install something through muon(or whatever you use), or add it manually [01:28] Oh i thought those were applications, I guess they are just subcategories [01:29] Is there a most logical place to put a 'programming langauges" category? [01:29] Well I would hope a programming language does not turn up in your menu [01:29] em: the biggest advantage about the menu editor is that you can change it to what suits *you* [01:31] DaskreecH: I mean like IDEs and programming tools, enviroments etc. [01:31] em: that would be under as development category I think [01:32] em: put them where you want (: but the system normally picks development, as he ^^ said [01:34] Is there a way to give a new item an icon? [01:36] em: Click the icon button in the Menu and choose a new picture [01:45] The icon button? [01:46] em: In the edit menu [01:49] oh thank you. [01:49] You are welcome === roger_ is now known as Roge152 [02:14] I think there is a problem with some of the repos, im maxing out under 100KB/sec on average around 30KB [02:15] if I lock a package version in Muon will it be updated using apt-get upgrade? === roger_ is now known as Roge162 === Roge162 is now known as Roge152 === roger_ is now known as Roge152 === jmichaelx is now known as TheNocturnalist === TheNocturnalist is now known as HexageSucks === HexageSucks is now known as jmichaelx === mohamed is now known as Guest7114 === Guest26887 is now known as Linkmaster [03:19] hey everyone [03:20] im having problem installing openssh-server [03:21] !crosspost | needhelp23323 [03:21] needhelp23323: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time.

[05:58] it depends on the resolution your screen is set at [05:58] since fonts are fixed size relative to the number of pixels, the more pixels you have per square inch, the smaller the font is [05:59] or is there a way to make the font bigger to be able to READ what it says?

[18:28] metralha761: kontact (kmail + kaddressbook), of course [18:29] I think we should separate formatting from content in kde [18:30] and you checked if delete that? some time don't remove configurations and personal data [18:32] metralha761: in what sense? they are in the directory, if you cancel the directory you cancel them. [18:34] the info are in your home directory [18:35] metralha761: what info?
