[03:17] it's not nepomuk alerting, but other apps using nepomuk I believe [04:33] In Kubuntu 12.04, could someone tell me how to perfrom the network start/stop/restart functions which used to be done in /etc/init.d? It now refers me to use the service command, but this command fails when I use it. [04:33] jt__: likely you are after start network-manager and stop network-manager [04:38] Ah; I tried start/stop networking and network, but not network-manager. It's counter intuitive to me that "network-manager" would restart the actual network as oppose to neetworking or network-interface, but what-od-I-know. Is there documentation on what all these services are somewhere (I see a ton of services when I do a "service --status-all" === root is now known as Guest24285 [07:03] hello.

[11:25] sky100: How do you mean? [11:26] sky100: You add a plasmoid for Folder View, then point that somewhere like ~/, and it will display the contents of that directory and let you rightclick inside it and create folders and what not [11:27] hateball ..all i wanted to create a folder on my desktop [11:27] sky100: Well... that's not how plasma works. But once you do the above it'll behave in the same way [11:28] i see [11:28] sorry didnt get ur suggestion [11:28] im new in ubuntu [11:29] Rightclick the "desktop", add "graphic component(?)" and then choose folder view [11:29] * hateball does not use English locale, so [11:29] let me chk [11:29] "add widgets" [11:29] then you can customize the folder view item to show whichever folder you want, change the size and location etc [11:32] So if you really want you can make your entire plasma one giant folder view :p [11:33] Good afternoon [11:33] hey lordievader good afternoon [11:34] sky100: hey, how are you? [11:35] im fine ty , how abt u [11:35] sky100: I'm fine :) [11:35] i right clicked on desktop hateball [11:36] not seeing any option like graphic components [11:36] you may need to "unlock widgets" first [11:36] then as Tm_T said "add widgets" [11:36] again, I don't use English locale, so my translations may be off :) [11:37] my widgets is open [11:37] not locked [11:38] yes im now in ADD widgets [11:38] anyone here with the new ATI drivers (12.3)? is a update recommended? [11:39] so add widgets has option like NEW FOLDER ? [11:39] sky100: then scroll around that for a bit til you find Folder View and drag that onto the desktop [11:39] ok hadrian [11:39] oops [11:39] hateball, [11:39] :) [11:40] yes dragged [11:40] then you should be able to edit the properties of that, and choose which folder to point to [11:41] straight into your home, or to the Download folder, or whatever [11:41] as well as move and resize it to your liking [11:41] are the folders just shortcuts to the real folder or well deleting them remove the folder completely [11:41] im seeing that it shows up the items which are in my home directory [11:42] is that ok? === avihay_ is now known as avihay [11:42] yea.. now right click on it gives option CREATE NEW [11:42] like folder etc..

[13:19] weird stuff is this when I clicked on to OPEN at the bottom & browsed to the folder where my picture folder is residing & selected photo from there and used as wallpaper .. it just got vanished after reboot [13:20] until i did this last time to be relived of this issue [13:20] relieved * [13:20] that directory is in the home [13:21] i just navigated to /home/USERNAME/.kde/share/wallpaper & pasted all the photos there which I might want to use as my wallpaper time to time [13:22] i really dunno even now why it just did not get saved which I browsed from OPEN from plasme desktop [13:23] now I reboot & see my preferred wallpaper is just working fine on the desktop [13:24] BluesKaj, u there ? [13:24] your wallpaper file can be anywhere in ~/ (/home/user/) [13:24] yes [13:25] nut to get them working i had to copied & pasted the images into that directory [13:25] but* [13:25] to copi* [13:25] copy* [13:25] I created a separate folder for my fav wallpapers and just navigate to it from the desktop shell/settings highlight the pic and click open [13:26] yes i was doing the same earlier [13:26] but it just had stopped working ... [13:26] strange [13:27] really upsetting me.. [13:27] yea BluesKaj [13:27] & after reboot do u find the new wallpaper just on ur desktop? [13:28] in my case it was just switching back to default [13:28] did not know that I had to manipulate with directory to get wallpaper working .. [13:29] wallpaper changes without rebooting , but it sticks after a reboot , yes [13:30] yes ..it was changing normally without rebooting... but does not stick after reboot .. [13:31] thats what is poking me at.. [13:31] as I reboot after changing the wallpaper ..>>> DEFAULT is lodged !!! [13:32] dunno ... whats wrong with it ... [13:40] let me browse to my pic folder & select a new image use that as my wallpaper & reboot & see what happens! BluesKaj [13:40] BRB [13:46] Will Kopete connect to yahoo messenger.. It doesn't seem to like me today. I haven't connected in over a year so perhaps they've changed something. [13:47] nahh BluesKaj ..the problem exists [13:48] i need to save all images into the directory to get them working as my wallpaper [13:48] :( [13:48] this is really weird [13:49] sky100, yes , of course , once saved in desktop settings/plasmadesktop shell . they should remain there til you delete or remove them [13:51] yes [13:52] but dunno BluesKaj whats the issue that any image saved in plasma desktop shell & applied as wallpaper is vanisihing at the reboot [13:52] :( [13:55] sky100, which layout are you using in the desktop shell ? [13:55] let me see.. [13:56] desktop [13:57] wallpaper + image ? [13:57] = [13:57] yes [13:58] and you haven't been clicking on "install default wallpapers" ? [13:58] nah [13:59] coz i wanted the images of my choice to use as wallpaper [13:59] not the default wallpapers [14:00] ok , click on "open" , to where does it navigate? [14:00] ok [14:00] plasma desktop shell [14:01] its navigated to^^^^ [14:01] but you already had the plasma desktop shell open [14:01] yes [14:02] so it didn't open the original wallpaper source folder [14:03] i have the source folder in on my partition [14:04] for example my last choice was located in my pictures folder , so when I clicked on open the desktop shell opened my pictures folder [14:04] my partition? [14:05] yes , in my case it also directs me to the last opened folder [14:05] like u said my picture folder [14:05] what's this my partition? [14:06] nah .. discard that [14:06] no , what did you mean by that [14:06] wrongly typed [14:07] is the last picture you chose there highlighted ? [14:07] yes [14:08] & APPLY option is not LIVE [14:08] if i select other picture then APPLY becomes xclickable [14:08] clickable* [14:11] but if i now reboot the wallpaper which is being used right now , will just disappear [14:11] open system settings>startup&shutdown>autostart , make sure plasma desktop workspace is enabled [14:11] let me see [14:13] i m selecting RESTORE MANUALLY SAVED SESSION [14:13] is that ok? [14:14] dunno , never used it [14:14] i switched to Autostart [14:15] as u said [14:15] is the desktop worspace startup enabled? [14:15] More and more people here :) [14:16] I guess unity makes people switch [14:16] not seeing any option like work space start up [14:16] Auto start / service manager/ session management [14:17] all i see [14:17] look under desktop file in autostart [14:19] not service manager [14:20] im now looking into Configure desktop effects [14:22] look in autostart , that 's where the desktop startup is enabled , just make it is [14:22] sure [14:23] yes under auto start its shows ... gtk2-default -theme .rc.shgtk2-default-t ...Enabled [14:23] just next to it I see a drop down menu [14:24] Pre KDE start up / start up /shut down [14:24] so my serach was ok ? [14:24] no [14:25] oops [14:25] i was seeing in Auto Start [14:25] as u said [14:25] where I went wrong [14:26] kmenu>my computer>systemsettings>startup&shutdown>autostart , desktop file [14:26] ok [14:28] yes i went like Kmenu > settings> startup & shutdown> autostart> desktopfile [14:29] should I give u a screen shot ? [14:29] no [14:29] sky100, which kubuntu are you running ? [14:29] kubuntu 11.10 [14:30] under desktop file do you see "plasma ?

[14:49] !away > sky100 [14:49] sky100, please see my private message [14:50] hi [14:51] i realize that many of the great folk who have made kubuntu great have been volunteers, but this seems like a step backwards [14:51] and with all the painful churn these past few kde releases, this is just difficult to swallow. [14:52] dimw1t, kubuntu had only one paid dev anyway , so now it's up to the community to take up the slack , jonathan will helping us , but on a voluntary basis [14:54] BluesKaj: thanks, i guess it makes sense. hopefully all the kde churn around kontact/nepomuk/akonadi settles down so that people like me won't be afraid to upgrade their kubuntu going forward. [14:54] just feels like a setback, and one likely caused or influenced by kde massive design changes over the past year and a half [14:55] dimw1t, nepomuk/akonadi can be disabled if they trouble your setup ..I just dumped kmail/kontact since I couldn't get it to link properly thru akonadi anyway [14:57] yeah, i just got kontact to figure out that i had stuff there. [14:57] i only updated to kubuntu 11.10 last week [14:57] (trying to keep the pain level low so i can keep productivity high. gosh, i sound businessy) [14:57] too many "demon daemons" running on this old pc isn't beneficial , especially when they aren't really needed [14:58] but it wasn't until today that i realized that all i had left to do was Refresh my contacts folders for them to show up. [14:58] shessh [14:58] the rewrite of akonadi was a good thing. it sucked way worse before [14:58] too make places to screw up the pipeline [14:58] this new stuff looks much more "doable" at least as designed [14:59] so i went into kontact today and basically hit F5 on contacts and a second later they started showing up. [14:59] apparent disconnect between kontact and it's akonadi overlord [14:59] glad to hear it's working for you , I got tired oif the notifactions when akondi wasn't able to collect emails from my provider servers [14:59] so i tried with Calendar, Journal, and Tasks... yup. stuff came through.. finally [15:00] i'm taing a sacrificial machine and adding the kubuntu-backports to get kontact 4.8 to try [15:00] apparently it's got a lot more ironed out [15:01] BluesKaj: but that's the churn i was talking about. [15:01] i had barely recovered from the upgrade to 10.10 [15:08] does anyone have guidance one whether one should whack ~/.kde when you upgrade or if the upgrades should *just work*? [15:09] dimw1t: I believe removing ~/.kde is bad thing to do (and if upgrade would require that, that's a bug) [15:11] renaming .kde is safer [15:11] this time around (and the previous few) i've found it better to mv .kde .kde-backup and just start from scratch... but now you have to also kill .local, .config as well [15:11] at least .local/share/akonadi* [15:11] lordievader: even that shouldn't be needed [15:12] i agree, it *shouldn't* [15:13] Tm_T, I'm sorry, I don't know what the problem is. I'm just stating that is is safer to rename the folder than to delete it. [15:13] but this time around, with the akonadi rewrite, i've found it helpful to whack all of kmail/kontact/akonadi/nepomuk cache/config/data [15:13] lordievader: indeed it is safer (: [15:13] but lordievader is correct, i don't rm it, i rename instead [15:13] What is the problem, anyhow? [15:14] In Kate, how would I go about doing a replace with CR/LF? [15:24] Hi [15:25] mathieukh, Hey [15:31] heh , akonadi server configurations is repleat with all kinds of different errors [15:35] mr-rich: are you talking about making them all one or the other? [15:36] mr-rich: Tools -> End-of-line -> Unix or Windows [15:36] dimw1t: well, I got this spam with a javascript attached and it's all in one line. I want to break the lines at the semicolons ... [15:37] it's really cryptic code ... [15:37] ahhh [15:38] mr-rich: Replace [15:38] choose "Escape sequences" [15:38] then do Find: ";" and Replace: " [15:38] sorry [15:38] "\n" [15:38] so, I want to replace ";" with ";[cr/lf]" ... [15:38] make the replace field ";\n" [15:39] in quotes? [15:39] no [15:39] Mode: Escape Sequences [15:39] that interprets \n as [15:40] crap ... I already junked it and emptied the trash ... next time ... :) [15:41] heh [15:41] vim and sed and python are also very powerful for such things [15:45] welp ... time to byte the bullet and install the new kernel ... [16:10] imagebin is nowt working .. hence cant post any snapshot links [16:10] not* [16:10] !screenshot [16:10] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [16:10] has any one tried with imagebin lately? [16:10] skfin, imagebin is working here [16:11] hey lordievader [16:11] i have not been able to get it working for few hrs [16:12] always says image type not allowed [16:12] sky100, what type of image are you trying to upload? [16:12] i was trying to show a snpshot to BlueKaj .. which was a png [16:13] xtn was png [16:13] sky100, and it doesn't exceed the 2mb limit? [16:14] ummm let me see [16:14] 893.6Kib [16:14] so it shd have been uploaded [16:14] hmm strange, try to upload it as a jpg [16:14] ok [16:15] let me take a screenshot of my my current desktop [16:16] after taking snap i click SAVE AS & save it in my document [16:16] is it right ? [16:16] uhu [16:17] wrong ? [16:17] i was browsing to the DOCUMENT through imagebin [16:17] & click submit [16:18] Document? Not just an image? I.e. ".png" ".jpg" etc [16:19] i mean i was browsing to my documet folder [16:21] Yes? [16:22] i was just saving the snapshot to my documen folder [16:23] browsing through imagebin [16:24] sky100, you have done it before right? Do it the same way as you did then. [16:24] yea .. lordievader it went normally yesterday [16:25] dunno what has happened today [16:25] let me chek with the image i uploaded lastnite [16:25] let me put it in imagebin [16:27] yes lastnite's image is working [16:27] which i uploaded [16:28] So what is the difference between the image of yesterday and the one of now? [16:30] Kernel installed ... time to reboot ... [16:37] lordievader: Good to know that. [16:37] lordievader: I haven't used imagebin lately but thanks for the information [16:38] skfin, sry, I ment sky100 [16:38] Yea I noticed ;) [16:38] You just have to make some fun out of these kind of situations [16:38] skfin, Couldn't agree more :) [16:39] :) [16:39] http://imagebin.org/205716 [16:39] yes got it right [16:40] had to be with .png [16:50] Well, that was a bit shakey ... [16:52] what are the advantages of kubuntu over xubuntu and ubuntu? [16:54] lordievader, i had to manipulate the directory to get wallpaper working after reboot .. [16:55] /home/ppp/.kde/share/wallpaper <<, had to put my preferred photos into that directory [16:55] copied & pasted [16:56] sky100, I see [16:58] meerkats, Kubuntu has the KDE window manager, Ubuntu has the Gnome window manager and Xubuntu has Xfce, about the last one I am not sure. I would say one is not necessarily better than the other, more like a matter of taste. [16:58] lordievader, I have been told xubuntu is the fastest and lightest, true? [16:58] though Bluekaj was saying that he simply browse to the picture folder from Plasma desktop shell window , gets his photos , hit apply & OK & it sticks even after reboot ! [16:59] meerkats, more like lubuntu [16:59] sky100, true, that is normal behavior. [16:59] but dunno why wallpaper did not stick after reboot in my case!! [17:04] he was asking me if plasma desktop workspace is enabled [17:04] Setting/ startup& shut down ?autostart [17:05] / autostart* [17:05] http://imagebin.org/205721 << thats the screenshot .. [17:06] I'm not sure, I guess you need to talk to BluesKaj for that. [17:06] oh ok === serserar is now known as Guest52533 [17:49] gotta go [17:59] does kubuntu-full install all the kde software from kde software collection?
