[09:21] I see :) [09:22] Thanks :) === ocs is now known as bauLUCE [10:28] how can I change the font name and size for Kubuntu universally? [10:28] er, I mean. For all applications, menu, panels etc [10:30] ibiwor: easiest is to launch krunner and type "fonts" [10:30] ibiwor: should launch the proper settings page [10:31] hateball: krunner? [10:31] ibiwor: alt+f2 :) [10:31] (per default) [10:31] ah-ok :) [10:33] hateball: I opened it and saw Ubuntu 9 selected for majority of them and clicking Defaults changed it to Sans Serif. What's the default? [10:34] ibiwor: I'm not sure actually. I'd guess the KDE default is Sans Serif, and the Kubuntu default is Ubuntu. [10:36] hateball: KDE default looks good over tiny fonts before. Secondly, could you tell me what anti-aliasing does in Fonts? [10:37] ibiwor: I prefer the Ubuntu font, I just adjust the size. AA makes them look smoother [10:37] eliminates pixelated edges and such [10:41] hateball: Thanks. Lastly, I was looking for a way to reduce translucent nature of panels. I tried searching for Translucency in All Effects in System Settings > Desktop Effects, but there is no option for panels [10:44] ibiwor: does that mean opacity? [10:44] <- not a native English speaker [10:46] hateball: Yes. The Task Manager in the bottom Panel is sometime not clear. The Title of the Window minimised to the Panel is not clear irrespective of the desktop background [10:52] Thanks hateball [11:46] I do "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" and it upgrades a bunch of packages.

Can you give me a pointer? (I may not be out of date, and that's fine too) [12:11] dcorbin_work: Are you trying to upgrade to the next release of Kubuntu? [12:12] dcorbin_work: check "lsb_release -a" to check your version [12:13] Pici: I'm trying to stay reasonably current. [12:13] lucid 10.0.4 LTS. But seeing that, I think I'll say with the LTS version. [12:15] dcorbin_work: Kubuntu 10.04.4 is no longer maintained at least its kde components are not [12:21] GirlyGirl, 10.04 is an LTS release . it's still maintained [12:25] BluesKaj: Great. Thanks. [12:29] dcorbin_work, 12.04 is the next LTS , it's due to be released around the end of April . the release date has changed , so I'm not sure exactly [12:32] dcorbin_work, looks like April 26th [12:42] hey [12:42] anyone there to hep me out ?

[13:00] nvm, found it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule === CQ_ is now known as CQ === azbarcea is now known as Guest71476 [13:42] Hi! Installed xfce4 and lxde packages as the names are to try xfce and lxde DE early. Soon after installing them, on restart I noticed a change of grub background from default blue to a one based on debian something like this - http://lazybrowndog.net/debian/squeeze/bugfixes/grub/spacefun-grub-widescreen.png - and similar background when KDE loads with a splash screen. [13:44] Other than that, the desktop effects fail to load on login that only enabling them from desktop effects works but partially. How can I fix this? [13:47] I tried remvoving/purging the xfce4 and lxde packages the behavior repeats [13:52] ibiwor, install kubuntu-desktop ? [13:55] BluesKaj: I didn't install lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop DE on Kubuntu as it may cause interence/conflicts with applications and such. Only lxde and xfce4 packages [13:55] BluesKaj: My base system is Kubuntu 11.10 [13:57] lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop desktop system* [14:02] BluesKaj: ? [14:03] ola [14:03] ? [14:03] k [14:03] kk [14:03] k [14:03] joao: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:10] ibiwor, I have no idea where that debian image would have come from , it's definitely not part of kubuntukde afaik [14:12] Muon software market crushes [14:12] ? [14:13] BluesKaj: I think that spacefun grub image and splash screen is due to lxde package installation. But can you help me fix abnormal desktop effects bahavior please? [14:15] Any solution for that [14:17] BluesKaj: http://imagebin.org/204204 http://imagebin.org/204205 [14:17] ibiwor, abnormal desktop behaviour with which desktop ? [14:18] BluesKaj: Kubuntu itself. I have removed the meta packages for lxde/xfce4 and desktop systems were not installed [14:21] ibiwor, afaik , kubuntu itself installs kubuntu-desktop by default , and that image you posted is not familiar to me , so if you don't have kubuntu desktop installed I don't know waht I'm dealing with [14:23] BluesKaj: As I said. On my base system Kubuntu 11.10 I installed lxde and xfce4 meta packages only for desktop environment. xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop packages for desktop environment were not installed. And when problems were found in grub image, splash screen and desktop effects I removed [14:24] xfce4 and lxde packages. So now the system is with kubuntu-desktop as it was before. And the images are KWin notifications which is part of kubuntu-desktop [14:24] xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop packages for desktop system* were not installed [14:27] ibiwor, open a pakage manager and check if you have kubuntu-desktop installed for sure , please ..I'm still confused here === syon_ is now known as syon [14:28] BluesKaj: Yes, kubuntu-desktop is installed - http://pastebin.com/7rwt20s8 [14:29] ibiwor, have you rebooted since removing xfce etc? [14:31] BluesKaj: Yes, I rebooted after removing xfce4 and lxde packages for DE. It didn't help but I do see option to use lxde and xfce in login screen but they don't work. You can do 'apt-cache search xfce4' and 'apt-cache search xubuntu-desktop' for clarification ... [14:34] ibiwor, in the terminal , sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop [14:34] BluesKaj: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/lxde and http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/xfce4 if that helps to find the problem [14:35] BluesKaj: But won't that affect my configuration and such in KDE? [14:35] Any Wacom users know how to get Wacom settings in Kubuntu 11.10 like the ones shown here and in Ubuntu? http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/linuxwacom-0-14 [14:35] no , it's not purging, ibiwor [14:36] BluesKaj: Will my desktops and widgets go with that? [14:36] desktops as in pagers, wallpaper, widgets [14:37] BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/pRcrftc1 [14:37] ibiwor, the configuration files will be retained ..it basically replaces missing files [14:39] ibiwor, so what are you desktop effects issues ? [14:39] your [14:40] BluesKaj: As http://imagebin.org/204204 http://imagebin.org/204205 says Blur, Box Switch, Cover Switch, DEsktop Cube etc [14:42] BluesKaj: brb [14:43] ibiwor, so these effects in the list won't work ? because all I see is a list of effects but no indicator [14:44] BluesKaj: They could not be activated [14:47] ok, you may need a different graphics driver , what graphics card ? Have you installed the recommended driver in kmenu>apps>system>additional drivers [14:47] BluesKaj: Oh no. They have been working great till now. Only xfce4 and lxde packages installation caused that [14:48] and purging them didn't help [14:48] ibiwor, well removing xfce etc may have dropped the driver down to a default such as nouveau [14:49] just check the additional drivers to make sure [14:49] Checked, its like before.

[14:53] from #kubuntu-devel [14:54] try ubuntu+1 like Riddel suggested [14:55] k [14:56] andreaxxx, have you read tyhe bug , there's a workaround described there if you scroll down slightly [14:57] yes, but i reboot (probably also if i exit the session) then i must go and delete those files again [15:03] andreaxxx, have you updated /upgraded and dist-upgraded today ? === Guest71476 is now known as azbarcea [15:07] yes. btw, the problem exists also using gtk2-engines-qtcurve and has started manifesting since xsettings-kde was introduced, i think [15:09] andreaxxx, I had that problem earlier today , Kubuntu 12,04 - KDE 4.8.1 , and it disappeared after updating/upgrading and dist-upgrade , and rebooting [15:09] i'll try that now then! [15:09] brb [15:09] qtcurve here as well === lindalou is now known as westmi [15:16] BluesKaj: no luck, i also tried the suggested workaround but after logging out and in again the bug was still present [15:18] andreaxxx, sorry , dunno how to help , mine got fixed so..... :( [15:19] I'm trying to create ad-hoc wireless network with knetworkmanager, but I only get "Error... psk"? What might be wrong and could anyone point me to good tutorial? [15:20] BluesKaj: no prob :) [15:20] delac, is an ad hoc necessary ? [15:21] BluesKaj: I'm trying to set my laptop as wireless AP [15:22] delac: If possible, Master mode is better than ad-hoc. [15:22] Then the clients can connect to it as if it were a real AP. [15:23] jessie: I only seem to have infrastructure and ad-hoc options [15:35] well, seems the "psk" error seems to have occured because I tried to use WPA/WPA2 Personal security. Setting the security to None clears that (going to fix that later), but I still don't see the AP with my phone... [15:41] BluesKaj: I fixed desktop effects problem just by toggling desktop effects multiple times and playing with effects like unlocking widgets and shrinking/resizing panels. And splash image is also changed to default from spacebar. But I just don't understand how grub image got changed on installation of lxde and xfce4 packages [15:42] ibiwor, ok , good [15:43] Ok :S [15:43] oh joy! something with qtlib isnt amd64 compatible? [15:44] trying to update packages and getting a error that 'not all packages could be upgraded' [15:45] delac: That's likely because your phone won't connect to Ad-hoc networks. I know that my PS3 and Zune and Android all don't connect to ad-hoc networks. [15:45] mmm that time it was libqt4-opengl:amd64 [15:46] jessie: well, the phone is android... why doesn't it want to connect to ad-hocs? :( [15:46] delac, this might help , http://exain.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/making-a-wifi-hotspot-access-point-using-linux-wifi-lan-cardusb-adapter/ === david is now known as Guest58731 [16:52] Hi... could someone help me?

When I press on them in Chrome, file transfer thing (working module in activity bar) starts but never close and KTorrent acting weird compared to torrents. In uTorrent on Windows, they open as a usual torrent file. Is it possible to change magnet links behaviour in KTorrent and Chrome? I also do not want the download folder to be like */share/apps/magnet_io [18:42] Oxymoron: yes, that issue is not new, and in kubuntu you might have an easier time tagging the mag link to ktorrent, in ubuntu its difficult [18:42] oops wrong channel :P [18:43] almoxarife: it works open in Ktorrent but nothing else. Would like KTorrent to open it as a torrent, to select files to download, download destination etc. [18:48] Oxymoron: I copy the magnet link and open it in ktorrent with 'url-open' [18:50] almoxarife: For me it works open it in Chrome as a usual link. But then when downloading in Ktorrent, the path is /*/share/apps/magnet_io something like that. So then I move the downloaded files to another destination when it is finished.

I couldn't even reboot with ALT SysRQ B - I've been over my system logs, kernel logs and the like, and can't see anything wrong. Anyone got any ideas what might cause this? [19:59] BarkingFish: The first thing that comes to mind is a failing power supply. [20:00] The second is overheating. My initial guesses are not software, but hardware. [20:02] power supply is possible. Overheating I'd be weary of, since the computer is nothing more than a shell, no sides top or base, i'm in a room with aircon on, all the windows open, and my fan is running at 4500RPM. [20:03] i've got plenty of silver oxide on the chip & heatsink, good contact on both [20:03] I can't think of much else which would overheat [20:04] i'm just thinking if the video driver crashed, would that also switch the monitor off?
