[00:23] <DarthFrog> Which file contains the session restore information?  I want to nuke it so that nothing carries over from a previous session.  (note: I'm in Precise and I wish to nuke the session file in my Oneiric install, then boot into Oneric).
[00:25] <DarthFrog> Cuz something is screwing up my Oneric desktop session such that I can't use it.  And the mythbuntu-repos.deb file won't install in Precise, such that I can't use Mythfrontend to connect to my MythTV backend.  This is a blasted nuisance.
[00:26] <Sentynel> DarthFrog: afaik, ~/.kde/share/config/session/
[00:26] <DarthFrog> Thankee kindly sir!
[00:27] <ybit> DarthFrog: reminder: #kde-usa
[00:27] <ybit> add it to autoconnect! :)
[00:27] <ybit> er.. daskreech *
[00:27] <DarthFrog> ybil: I"m not American.
[00:27] <ybit> sorry about that DarthFrog
[00:27] <ybit> i only meant to be harsh to daskreech ;P
[00:47] <daskreech> hi ybit
[00:57] <yovanni> hola
[02:01] <jalcine_> Hey all! I'm curious to see if anyone would like to hack on a AI project dealing with speech recognition for Linux. The code's at https://github.com/spchcntrl/speechcontrol. Thanks for forking!
[03:03] <gnupablo> hi
[03:46] <Bugsbane> Hi, can anyone on 11.10 please confirm whether lcms2 is in your standard repos? I'm trying to support multiple distro's but having trouble figuring out which versions of Ubuntu have lcms2
[03:48] <bazhang> !find lcms2
[03:49] <bazhang> !info liblcms2-utils
[03:49] <bazhang> Bugsbane, ^
[03:49] <Bugsbane> AH, thx
[03:49] <bazhang> np
[03:49] <Bugsbane> This explains a thing or two if it's in Universe. SOme people said it did exist, some said it didn't...
[06:36] <brent> using kubuntu 12.04, need help setting up bluetooth tether
[07:18] <genii-around> This channel still exists? Oh my
[09:26] <xxzz> hi, can I append grub2-efi boot parameters to chainload BSD
[09:27] <xxzz> and where I can do that
[09:40] <worm> My kubuntu panel seems broken. Can anyone help me?
[09:40] <Tm_T> worm: how it is broken?
[09:41] <worm> No reflection.
[09:41] <worm> I can temporarily solve it by delete it and add it again.
[09:41] <worm> But it is so unconvienient for me to do it every time I boot my computer,
[09:42] <Tm_T> no reflection?
[09:42] <worm> It was fine before I switched to the Netbook mode, then when I switch back, I cannot click on any icons there.
[09:43] <worm> Although it will tell me what the icon is.
[09:43] <Tm_T> worm: and you have only one plasma process running?
[09:44] <worm> I don't know. but everything seemed fine except of I couldn't left-click on the panel.
[09:45] <worm> And the Kickoff is not working too. I can only use Alt+F2 to open them.
[09:45] <Tm_T> worm: try "ps aux | grep -i plasma" in konsole and then pastebin the results
[09:45] <Tm_T> worm: kickoff?
[09:45] <Tm_T> ah, application launcher
[09:45]  * Tm_T don't think we had kickoff in KDE4 ever (:
[09:46] <Tm_T> doesn't either
[09:46] <worm> moi    14277  7.5  9.0 1013532 179520 ?      Sl   17:37   0:38 /usr/bin/plasma-desktop
[09:46] <worm> moi    14703  0.0  0.0  97332   956 pts/2    S+   17:46   0:00 grep --color=auto -i plasma
[09:47] <Tm_T> so only one, that's good
[09:47] <rethus> is 12.04 still stable?
[09:47] <rethus> or in beta-state?
[09:54] <Tm_T> rethus: not yet released
[09:56] <worm> Tm_T: But the problem still exists. What to do next?
[09:56] <Tm_T> worm: hmmm, do you have some plasma-related configs you really need to save?
[10:00] <worm> I am not sure. I had just went to System settings and change the Workspace Behavior -> Workspace ->Workspace Type to "Netbook", then when I turn it back, it went wrong.
[10:01] <Tm_T> hmmm
[10:01] <Tm_T> so we should move ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* files to somewhere so they can be put back if something is lost (most likely not though)
[10:05] <rethus> how can i set priority for twinkle by default?
[10:05] <rethus> i only know... ESC + CTRl, choose twinkle and increase priority. but after startup, it is reset to normal
[10:07] <worm> Tm_T Yes, you're right. Mais, all of my configurations like the widgets are gone... But finally the problem was solved.
[10:07] <Tm_T> worm: yeah, so some of the settings were gone a mess apparently, hmmh
[10:08] <worm> I am gonna set them back. Thanks a lot.
[10:08] <Tm_T> np
[12:17] <Kombala> Hi guys
[12:17] <Kombala> 횖처챰챰챗챔책 책챰챵체 찼챘책횪챵체?
[12:27] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[12:33] <phillips321> can anyone recommend a music player other than amarok that uses a library function (i.e. not xmms, bmp, audacious)
[12:34] <Riddell> phillips321: that has a music library?
[12:34] <phillips321> i have a mass of music, i just want to be able to search in it like i can in itunes
[12:34] <phillips321> banshee is what i want but for some reason it wont run on a fresh kubuntu 11.10 x64 install
[12:35] <Riddell> amarok does that, bangarang too
[12:35] <Riddell> juk as well
[12:35] <phillips321> i thought bangarang was for vids?
[12:36] <brenty> in kubuntu 11.10 with kde 4.8.1, still after update things seem to "stick" in task bar after closed... any thoughts on how to fix it?
[12:36] <Riddell> bangarang is for music
[12:36] <brenty> I read somewhere it was a qt bug
[12:37] <Riddell> brenty: i believe it is and a fix is in 12.04 but I don't think it has been backported
[12:38] <brenty> i tried 12.04 :( the network manager is still broke and wont tether bluetooth. now that you mention it, when i tried the latest daily build that sticky problem wasnt noticed
[12:39] <brenty> seems like i read about a 'patched' qt package.. added the ppa for it but couldnt figure out how to install it
[12:40] <phillips321> Riddell: cheers, juk looks like what i need
[12:40] <phillips321> working fine (all my music is on an nfs share and i mount readonly)
[12:41] <phillips321> lets hope once it's sifted through my 20,000+ songs it stores the library locally
[12:41] <brenty> KDE bug 275469 (ghost taskbar entries)
[12:41] <phillips321> (i chose RO to prevent my music library being screwed up by music players trying to 'organise' it)
[12:42] <brenty> ok so what do i do to fix it>
[12:42]  * BluesKaj tries out bangarang , audacious isn't my cuppa tea either ...amarok suffers from "trying to do too much for the dumb user" syndrome
[12:45] <brenty> just twiddle thumbs and wait for the fix to trickle down to  backports?
[12:49] <brenty> ok so i added a ppa with a patched QT. so how do i install the stuff there?
[12:50] <hateball> gogeta_: assuming you use KDE, #kubuntu would probably be a better choice
[12:50] <hateball> well.. if you use kubuntu.
[13:09] <brenty> it would seem that i have a later version of the qt libraries than what the 'patched' ones are. is there a way to revert to the slightly earlier patched ones?
[13:20] <brenty> so if a change is made to fix it in 12.04, eventually it will be put in kde mackports?
[15:29] <mobashua> bonjour a tous
[16:26] <tbruff13> can someone help me with this error that happens when i try to update var/cache/apt/archives/colord_0.1.12-1ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb Error: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/colord/colord'
[17:43] <roasted> Hi. In Ubuntu there's an installable "Gnome Schedule" package for scheduling tasks. Is there something similar in Kubuntu?
[17:48] <fdoving> roasted: kde-config-cron
[17:48] <fdoving> roasted: that's a package name,  needs to be installed i think.
[17:49] <roasted> fdoving: thanks, I was looking for this guy - http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeadmin/kcron/index.html - is that what you're referring to?
[17:49] <fdoving> roasted: yes.
[17:50] <roasted> fdoving: thanks much. I'm just trying to find ways on all DE's to run my rsync script to back my stuff up. I have an rsync script (non root) to sync my stuff over ssh to my file server.
[17:50] <roasted> It works flipping beautifully.
[17:51] <roasted> I tagged it in my gnome setup as a "startup application" since gnome's startup apps allows you to put a command in. In KDE, looks like I would need to put a command in /bin/bash script, +x it, and add it to startup. Same idea in the end, though.
[17:51] <roasted> But I began tinkering wtih scheduled tasks, because if my parents want this set up, I'd rather say, hey download this GUI and do it, ya know?
[17:54] <fdoving> roasted: try to search for autostart in the 'kmenu-search-line'
[17:54] <roasted> fdoving: just... right now? or after I install something?
[17:54] <fdoving> roasted: yeah, just try.
[17:54] <roasted> fdoving: sec. rebooting it.
[17:55] <roasted> fdoving: its been updating in my VM environment for 5 hours. I think it's time to do a hard shutoff. :/
[17:56] <roasted> fdoving: yeah, that's what I was referring to.
[17:56] <roasted> fdoving: in gnome, I can put in a specific command. Here, I can't put in a command... I need to put in a script.
[17:57] <roasted> fdoving: which requires me to dump the command in a text file, with the bin bash line at the top, save it, chmod +x it, and it'll work fine.
[17:57] <fdoving> roasted: ah, yeah. understand.
[17:58] <roasted> fdoving: same basic principle, just slightly different execution.
[17:58] <roasted> fdoving: that's why I got curious about a "gnome schedule" for kde. As easy as it would be to say, hey, this command I'm emailing you, #!/bin/bash, next line, paste, save, right click, properties, executable, then add it, it'd be easier to just fire up the scheduler GUI and go that route.
[18:00] <roasted> For what it's worth, instead of selecting the script, I just typed in mkdir /home/user/Desktop/TEST and it didn't work. Definitely needs to be in script form, not command form.
[18:00] <roasted> ha, actually, once I logged in it removed it from autostart
[18:04] <rapidsp> hi, anybody know when will be the 4.8.2?
[18:05] <yofel> rapidsp: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.8_Release_Schedule
[18:05] <rapidsp> yofel: thanks
[18:08] <Chaser> on a related question - does kubuntu get updated when ever there is a new KDE sc out ?
[18:09] <yofel> Chaser: bugfix updates are made available in a PPA and a bit later in the official updates.
[18:10] <yofel> the next higher kde release is only available per ppa
[18:10] <Chaser> yofel, thanks.
[18:26] <roasted> fdoving: for what it's worth, this scheduling app works just as gnome-schedule does... aka... great. thanks much!
[18:58] <Tsou-L> Hello guys.I have a Question.I want to learn Python,but on Python.org there isnt a builder for Linux ..only for Mac and Windows.Is there any builder that you suggest for Kubuntu?
[19:03] <yofel> Tsou-L: define "builder"
[19:03] <yofel> python is installed by default on kubuntu, if you mean an IDE, try Eric
[19:13] <Tsou-L> yofel: Well i ve seen a Tutorial video and he used Python IDLE (GUI)
[19:14] <yofel> idle is in the archive too, you'll find it in the software center
[19:21] <Tsou-L> Thanks alot yofel
[19:37] <krisx> Last night i was having problems connecting with Kubuntu so I restarted which normally would help. When i rebooted it went through the splash screen and instead of giving me the GUI login it throws me straight into a text login. What reasons would it do this?
[19:41] <EntarteteEnte> krisx: it could be a number of things, but one of my first guesses would be a possible bug in the video drivers you are using. hopefully X started for you the next time.
[19:42] <krisx> hopefully X?
[19:44] <BluesKaj> krisx,  do you still have the issue , if so try the recovery kernel , hold the left  shift key down after the bios options scrn
[19:44] <krisx> before or after grub?
[19:45] <BluesKaj> before ... you want grub
[19:46] <BluesKaj> the shift key is what brings grup up
[19:47] <BluesKaj> the grub menu that that is
[19:49] <krisx> i installed it via wubi. So it goes  to windows then it goes to grub without me needing to press anything. Should i go into recovery mode?
[19:52] <BluesKaj> ahh wubi , that's different , you should choose kubuntu at the grub menu , not windows
[19:53] <BluesKaj> afaik , then kubuntu will run without windows being loaded. if you run with windows it's mighty slow if I recall
[19:53] <krisx> well windows doesn't currently work. So i ran the second option "Linux 2.6.38-10-generic (recovery mode)
[19:54] <BluesKaj> ok
[19:54] <georgelappies_> If I am on 11.10 now, will I benefit by upgrading to 12.04 bow before it is realesed using a daily snapshot cd image or should I just wait for 12.04 to be released?
[19:55] <krisx> alright. i ran it, and rebooted and im getting the exact same results.
[19:55] <BluesKaj> georgelappies_,  if you're adventureous then install it ..I'm running it now without any probs
[19:56] <BluesKaj> krisx,  rebooted into which kernel ?
[19:58] <krisx> Linux 2.6.38-10-generic
[19:58] <BluesKaj> krisx,  if you really want to run kubuntu properly , create a partition for it by using the live cd install or with a partitoner ..wubi doesn't give a very complete kubuntu/linux experience IMO .
[19:59] <BluesKaj> !dual boot
[20:01] <krisx> I really don't want to get into partitioning. I'm probably going to buy another harddrive for my computer to run multiple operating systems. You don't think there is anything else i could try?
[20:03] <krisx> The real problem is I have a 2TB external HDD, i just can't find the power cord. So I can't back up all my valuable information on there, and I've screwed up on partitioning before -_-
[20:03] <BluesKaj> dual boot is easier than you think , the kubuntu live cd can give several easy to do options
[20:05] <qbit> also if you have a powerful enough machine virtualbox is a good way to play/test alternate stuff
[20:05] <krisx> yeah i understand vms.
[20:05] <qbit> the guest won't be as crisp or responsive as if it was on bare hardware, but it's very close
[20:07] <krisx> so you dont think there is any other way to fix it? i really feel that partitioning is my last resort.
[20:07]  * qbit doesn't know anything about wubi
[20:08] <BluesKaj> I tried wubi just once , on wife's pc ..not very satisying , even  VB is preferable
[20:09] <qbit> but if your able to get booted, just not into X and GUI you might want to poke into that a bit and try and undersatnd why
[20:09] <qbit> look at xorg.0.log in /var/log to see if there is any indication  if or why it might be X crashing
[20:10] <krisx> what do you mean by X?
[20:10] <BluesKaj> dunno how wubi handles hardware and graphics , but it sounds like a garphics driver prob if it was a regular install
[20:10] <qbit> drive a wedge between 'is it X' going down or is it KDM
[20:11] <BluesKaj> !X
[20:13] <qbit> X is the video display system and KDM is what displays the KDE login screen, if X crashes you'll never get to KDM
[20:13] <krisx> ah thanks.
[20:13] <qbit> and most X crashes are driver related
[20:15] <qbit> a very wild guess here is that initially for install purposes you were in some generic VESA mode of video, and the problem you are having now is it is trying to switch into a graphical video mode and failing
[20:18] <BluesKaj> krisx,  which kubuntu version are you running?
[20:18] <krisx> 11.04
[20:21] <krisx> i saw that lol
[20:21] <BluesKaj> krisx,  you're at a prompt after the text login ...just checking your irc client:)
[20:22] <BluesKaj> correct ?'
[20:23] <krisx> what do you mean by prompt?
[20:25] <BluesKaj> did you login ? if so , then after entering your password , you'll be at a TTY prompt where you can enter commands that may help you fix the problem
[20:27] <krisx> yeah i can login to text mode.
[20:27] <BluesKaj> krisx, you're in kubuntu, you just don't have a graphical user interface/desktop , but you do have the command line / terminal
[20:27] <krisx> yup
[20:28] <BluesKaj> type this , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:29] <krisx> do i need to manually connect to my router first? i don't know how to manage that in terminal
[20:30] <krisx> nvm
[20:30] <krisx> no wait
[20:30] <BluesKaj> are you connected to the internet in windows , if so you should also be connected in kubuntu, unless you're on wifi
[20:31] <krisx> im on wifi. windows doesn't actually boot on that computer anymore.
[20:31] <BluesKaj> heh, then dump windows and do a real linux install :)
[20:31] <krisx> i would if i could back up stuff
[20:37] <BluesKaj> there's your cunundrum , if you created an ext/linux partiton and installed kubuntu your ntfs partition would be accessaible from kubuntu and you could save your data thar way
[20:40] <krisx> But i can navigate to windows by just going "cd /host/"
[20:41] <BluesKaj> dunno , try it
[20:41] <qbit> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Video_Problems_after_second_reboot
[20:41]  * qbit wonders if that would do anything useful...
[20:43] <krisx> these are for problems directly after installation though, right? I've been using ubuntu like this for months.
[20:45] <krisx> BluesKaj: being able to access it to back it up is not the problem. not having the cord to my external hdd is the problem, which is the only reason i can't back anything up.
[20:47] <BluesKaj> krisx,  what brand external drive?
[20:49] <krisx> all i can find is wd
[20:55] <krisx> found a ethernet cable, so im doing the "sudo apt-get update/upgrade " now
[21:14] <krisx> damnit. i really felt like that was going to work..
[21:17] <krisx> wtf...
[21:18] <BluesKaj> krisx,  now , run, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:18] <krisx> first i tried running the kdm by script. it told me to do it like this "sudo restart kdm" and when i went "sudo startx" it worked.
[21:22] <BluesKaj> ok ,so you have a login page ?
[21:23] <krisx> well since i was already logged in, it just went past the login and its just working...
[21:23] <krisx> so strange...
[21:24] <BluesKaj> I see , sometimes kdm will open the login page again to relogin
[21:25] <BluesKaj> updates and upgrades bring fixes from the repos and upstream
[21:27] <krisx> what i find really weird is that its not really fixed. it keeps booting up and acting like its going to the kdm login, it just doesn't, instead it allows me to login and go startx and then i can use the gui.
[21:31] <BluesKaj> well, stuff to do ..later
[21:31] <Kimlaroux> Kubuntu 10.04 here. I installed Gstreamer Phonon backend and all it's plugins. Every time I start Amarok, I get a pop up saying "Phonon claims it cannot play MP3 files...". It can play mp3s just fine. Google is not help, anyone has any idea why I get the popup?
[21:50] <CartoonCat> yay! issues. I updated to latest, was ok or a day or so, it did some updates this morning, it wanted a reboot, made time, did it. now it just sits at the 'kubuntu' screen with the dots .  .  .  . moving and never loads past it.
[21:50] <CartoonCat> Ideas on how to start looking for the source of the issues
[22:38] <excognac> am i being dumb or i really need a win xp cd for virtual box? The reason is: i really need use a 16bit win software, wine is not really keen to do so...
[22:43] <CartoonCat> excognac: how else to you install the os if not with a install cd for it?
[22:44] <excognac> CartoonCat: yup. better find a solution in wine
[22:45] <CartoonCat> excognac: i recomend that if possible
[22:48] <excognac> ok, any ideas on "The specified device is not open or is not recognized by MCI."
[22:49] <CartoonCat> sounds like accounting records for MCIWorldcomm =)
[22:51] <CartoonCat> is that a error from spybot?
[22:52] <excognac> from the software in wine: basically it's a dead easy stuff, it plays a serie of images and puts arrows to certain points
[22:52] <excognac> i.e. this is a sheep embryo atlas and i do need it
[22:52] <CartoonCat> ah VB MCI, might need the vbruntimes
[22:53] <CartoonCat> or might need to find some other windows DLLs, trial and error a lot with wine
[22:55] <excognac> oh, it mentioned a dll too.  so, I shall hunt these files down, copy in "win" and wish the best?
[22:57] <LINKSWORD2> Hey guys, I've not been on in quite a while... My clock has gotten out of proportion, and I don't know how to adjust its borders.
[22:58] <danielo_> hello everybody
[22:58] <quizno50> hello =)
[22:58] <danielo_> I would like to ask You for some manual about insalling kubuntu on flash memory, that it could run it on each machine from usb port.
[23:00] <quizno50> danielo_ you mean to make a Live USB disk? or actually a full install on a Flash Drive?
[23:00] <danielo_> I dont mean live cd on usb
[23:00] <danielo_> no
[23:00] <danielo_> a normall install
[23:00] <danielo_> I've done normal install before, but it dosent work
[23:01] <danielo_> I just want to have all my stuff on 8gb usb stick.
[23:01] <quizno50> I would recommend using the Live USB, because it does hardware detection.
[23:01] <danielo_> my home folder and documents
[23:01] <quizno50> You can create a persistant filesystem on the live usb to store all your documents and things
[23:01] <em> what is the application in kubuntu that plays mp4 videos?
[23:01] <danielo_> yes I know, but in live usb I cant save my changes
[23:01] <LINKSWORD2> Uhm.... Duh?
[23:02] <quizno50> danielo_ if you have it formatted as a FAT32 drive, you can remount it with the read/write option and save things onto it
[23:03] <danielo_> what about installing apps?
[23:03] <quizno50> in all my playing around with it, that's what I found to be the easiest way to do things
[23:04] <quizno50> What I did was copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives over to a folder on the USB drive, then just run dpkg -i *.deb in that folder to reinstall everything after a reboot
[23:04] <em> what is the application in kubuntu that plays mp4 videos?
[23:04] <quizno50> em - I'm pretty sure the default is Dragon Player
[23:04] <em> it is asking for which application to open it with. oh yeah okay thanks.
[23:07] <LINKSWORD2> Hey guys, I've not been on in quite a while... My clock has gotten out of proportion, and I don't know how to adjust its borders.
[23:07] <quizno50> @LINKSWORD2 - what do you mean?
[23:08] <quizno50> @LINKSWORD2 - do you have a screenshot? or is it that your clock's time is off?
[23:09] <LINKSWORD2> I know how to adjust the time. What the problem is, is that the clock display is twice the size of the system tray bar where the clipboard and other items are stored.
[23:11] <quizno50> LINKSWORD2 - I would recommend looking at the appearance settings for the clock... Right click->Digital Clock Settings
[23:11] <LINKSWORD2> Already done that. It doesn't tell me anything about how to adjust its physical size.
[23:11] <quizno50> I was playing with it and got it to go huge by selecting the "Long Date" under Date Format.
[23:12] <quizno50> other than that; I don't really see much, and can't really recommend anything unless you have a screenshot that I could see
[23:12] <LINKSWORD2> Nevermind. I've just removed it and added the widget again.
[23:16] <danielo_> I dont get it
[23:17] <danielo_> please tell me the easiest way to have my kubuntu with my apps, repositories, setting etc on usbstick
[23:17] <danielo_> ?
