| Steve132 | Previous Versions of Ubuntu/KUbuntu allow you to install the bootloader to a particular disk | 00:28 |
| Steve132 | during the install process, there was an 'advanced' options tab which let you do this | 00:28 |
| Steve132 | however, I ran the installer and I don't see any such option | 00:28 |
| Steve132 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Mac_OSX.2C_Vista.2C_and_Ubuntu | 00:31 |
| Steve132 | See the "Start Installing" option where it clarifies how to do that | 00:31 |

| ussher_ | whats the widget that shows the open windows called? I though it was called a task bar. today it dissappeared and with firefox open there is no indication in that box along the top of the screen. | 00:44 |
| DaemonFC | KDE calls that the task manager | 00:44 |
| ussher_ | perfect DaemonFC | 00:45 |
| ussher_ | thanks. I tried window manager, and activity bar, but they were both wrong | 00:45 |
| ussher_ | the icons arnt so great at conveying the differences between stuff. | 00:46 |
| DaemonFC | ussher_: If you get really stuffed, you can just delete the panel and have it create a new one using the default template | 00:48 |
| ussher_ | cheers for that DaemonFC. You've solved my problem. :) really appreciate the help. | 00:50 |
| ussher_ | not sure why, just when i started it today, the clock spanned the whole width of that bar and the task manager was gone. a bit out of the ordinary. | 00:51 |

| fire_ | yes I think I've tried apt-get update and after apt-get upgrade.... It say no upgrade is available .... | 02:59 |
| AlexZion | well of course , those command will not upgrade version ... | 03:00 |
| Kill_the_black | hi all hit girl | 03:01 |
| AlexZion | fire_: try with sudo do-release-upgrade -f kde -d | 03:01 |
| AlexZion | natman: you already know about plasma I guess ? | 03:02 |
| AlexZion | natman: how to add plasmoid to it ?, so even on the bottom bar ? | 03:02 |
| natman | AlexZion: ya just looking for a change up, to the standard taskbar at bottom of screen | 03:02 |

| AlexZion | try without it ? | 03:08 |
| fire_ | natman, you can resize your plasmaoid call "taskbar" so Icon will be bigger or smaller... | 03:08 |
| AlexZion | fire_: too late natman is gone ... :D | 03:09 |
| fire_ | Alex, I've to wait because it do many download now.... | 03:09 |
| AlexZion | ahh ok fire_, so the process is started , right ? | 03:09 |

| natman | is there any way to alter / change color of the panel? | 03:11 |
| AlexZion | fire_: I hope so | 03:11 |
| fire_ | heheh!!! | 03:11 |
| AlexZion | natman: you have color scheme on the system settings of kde ... | 03:12 |
| natman | AlexZion: but i want to just alter the panel nothing else | 03:12 |
| AlexZion | so there you can change color just to the panel I guess ...... | 03:12 |
| fire_ | or maybe play with "theme" or download new theme in system settings... | 03:13 |
| fire_ | for me it is on step 5 and will take another 2 hours... so thanks for the advice and have a good night. I'll come back for sure... | 03:16 |

| workisgreat | GirlyGirl: http://s019.radikal.ru/i603/1205/19/ff8de95bbfbb.png | 12:36 |
| GirlyGirl | workisgreat: after a restart of plasma it should be fine .... Press ALT + F2 and type "kquitapp plasma-desktop" then press alt + F2 again and type "plasma-desktop" | 12:38 |
| GirlyGirl | workisgreat: Its just a quirk when disabling desktop effects, after a reboot it should be fine too | 12:39 |
| workisgreat | GirlyGirl: i tried - didn't help | 12:39 |
| workisgreat | problem 2: view modes in dolphin don't work | 12:40 |
| natman | how do i check if Muon update notifier is working, i have not seen it in 3 days | 12:41 |
| GirlyGirl | workisgreat: The taskmanager should sort itself out on nect login ... did you disable effects in systemsettings? | 12:41 |
| GirlyGirl | natman: "sudo apt-get update" | 12:41 |
| natman | GirlyGirl: I know there are updates, just want to know if the little pop box will ever tell me | 12:42 |
| GirlyGirl | natman: If there are updates it should tell you | 12:42 |
| workisgreat | GirlyGirl: it doesn't sort it. yes, i disable the effects in system settings | 12:43 |
| workisgreat | problem 3 - is there a way to get rid of the message indicator, but have kopete / konversation etc. tray icons appear? | 12:43 |
| GirlyGirl | workisgreat: What graphic card do you have ... on Intel cards I get that same problem when disabling desktop efftects but it goes away on restart ... try "kquitapp plasma-desktop" then "kwin --replace" then "plasma-desktop" | 12:44 |
| natman | GirlyGirl: weird i pulled up Muon update manager, then settings and unchecked and re checked the notify me box, then i get the pop up message - how often does it check for updates? | 12:44 |
| GirlyGirl | workisgreat: Just go in system tray settings (right click the tray) and remove message indicator | 12:45 |
| GirlyGirl | natman: You can configure update checks with "kdesudo software-properties-kde" | 12:46 |

| GirlyGirl | Does the 12.04 alternate disk have an upgrade script ... I used to upgrade with the alternate disk before but there are no cd-rom upgrade instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades/Kubuntu | 12:56 |
| Pici | iirc, you can upgrade with either the desktop or alternate CDs now. | 12:58 |
| n00by | why does kde trust the xserver's dpi settings and display fonts with 3px height that are barely readable until i force it from 54 to 96 dpi? there should be a lower limit for font pixel height somwhere around 8px hardcoded! | 12:58 |
| GirlyGirl | Pici: How exactly do you upgrade with the desktop CDs? | 12:59 |
| n00by | the same problem always arises when i install googleearth, i have to set fonts to 20 with qtconfig-qt4 in gnome to get it readable | 13:00 |
| Pici | GirlyGirl: Put the CD in while you're running Kubuntu and it should prompt you. | 13:00 |
| Pici | GirlyGirl: The same way you would with the Alternate CD. | 13:00 |
| GirlyGirl | Pici: Considering that the Desktop CD has a live image rather than packages how exactly does that work and would it wipe away settings and any extra non default applications installed? | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | n00by, I gave up on google earth , it's advantage over google maps has become minimal IMO ...too little return for too much hassle | 13:04 |

| GirlyGirl | Riddell: Slow Internet and other reasons | 14:09 |
| GirlyGirl | Riddell: The ot person left | 14:10 |
| Riddell | GirlyGirl: yeah you can't upgrade from the desktop CD only overwrite it (which is often fine too) | 14:10 |
| Riddell | GirlyGirl: the alternate CD should have an upgrade script on it still that you can run but I haven't tested it | 14:11 |
| GirlyGirl | Still waiting for the kmix fix before upgrading some computers esp those used by other people | 14:12 |
| GirlyGirl | Riddell: The cd is more practical when upgrading multiple computers ... I do fresh installs on my own PC's (or actually use the pre release well before) ... but on shared PCs I upgrade them collectively | 14:21 |
| Riddell | GirlyGirl: ok thanks for the feedback, I'll do that testing and put it back next time around (mind and poke me to remember) | 14:23 |
| Riddell | GirlyGirl: I hope kmix will be fixed with KDE SC 4.8.3 which is due this week | 14:24 |
| GirlyGirl | Riddell: It is fixed in 4.8.3 which is due today I believe | 14:24 |

| craigbass1976 | you could just set up a firewall too. I haven't yet, but my laptop is a web server and I usually make it so apache only accepts connections from local host | 15:29 |
| craigbass1976 | How do you kwo there';s something running on 53 in the first place? | 15:30 |
| GirlyGirl | craigbass1976: We have an openbox version? | 15:30 |
| craigbass1976 | That's what's showing up on my menu screen | 15:31 |
| drostie | w00t! Fresh Kubuntu 12.04 install. :D | 15:31 |
| drostie | I have to say, guys, after the hell of Unity and Kubuntu Active, I am so glad to have sane windows. :D | 15:32 |
| craigbass1976 | I actually started with regular, knew I wouldn't like unity, tried xfce (which wont recognize when I've shut the lid) and now I'm giving this a whirl. I haven't used kde other than a knoppix live cd here and there since fedora 3... | 15:33 |
| drostie | heh. enjoying it so far? | 15:33 |
| drostie | Unity looks good. Give it a half year or a year and I think it will actually be usable in an everyday sense. At the very least I'm about to put lots of icons on a toolbar on the side of the screen with KDE panels, 'cause that was a very good idea. | 15:34 |
| drostie | I might even try to hack it so that the alt-F2 Klauncher shows up when I just hit alt, because that's also pretty nice. | 15:35 |
| drostie | Kubuntu Active was... *shudder*. Windows that can't be resized, every application starts out minimized for no good reason, you can't close anything without finding it on a taskbar. Not good. | 15:36 |
| theguyfromaccoun | Figured it out | 15:36 |
| theguyfromaccoun | Port 53 is open because dnsmasq is running on 12.04 | 15:36 |
| theguyfromaccoun | Thanks everyone for your help | 15:37 |
| drostie | crap, I gotta go too. Hope to compare the finer parts of KDE with you guys later! :D | 15:38 |
| craigbass1976 | If anyone calls tucows.com, option 9 lets you listen to a herd of cattle. Heh... Sounds like it might be indefinitely. | 15:38 |

| rlopez | hello everyone! | 15:47 |
| craigbass1976 | rlopez, hey | 15:47 |
| rlopez | first time here on irc... is there any proper way to ask for help here? or just common sense? :D | 15:49 |
| craigbass1976 | rlopez, just let 'er rip and wait | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez, common sense works , but you can ask in the meatnime | 15:50 |
| rlopez | hehe, thanks craigbass1976 | 15:50 |
| craigbass1976 | some rooms complain if you ask to ask. If you start chatting with one person in particular, you can preface what you say with their username so that it blinks or somethign for them | 15:50 |
| rlopez | well, last night I started upgrading to kubuntu 12.04... but now the installation froze downloading dropbox. Is there any way to tell the installer to skip that package, without interruping the rest? | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez, is the installer locked up ? | 15:58 |
| elvenfighter | Hello everyone, is there a way to install 'World Of Goo' using Muon? | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | elvenfighter, is it listed in muon? | 16:00 |
| elvenfighter | no, that's why I'm asking | 16:00 |
| elvenfighter | BluesKaj, no, that's why I'm asking | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | unless there's a special repository or ppa for it , no , but you may find it on the internet in a linux version | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | then you may have to a different method to install i t depending on the file extension, elvenfighter | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | use | 16:03 |
| rlopez | BluesKaj, no, the installer is still running. at least it responds if I try to cancel the upgrade | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez, don't cancel if it's running , there's a dropbox tutorial for dropbox on kde that I can post if you wish | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez, http://www.nixternal.com/kde-and-dropbox/ | 16:13 |
| elvenfighter | rlopez, you can look at kfilebox if you wish | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | kfilebox is broken , mostly' | 16:14 |
| GirlyGirl | Dropbox's default client works well on KDE ... and there is a service menu for dolphin to integrate it available | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | elvenfighter, the above tutorial works like a charm | 16:15 |
| rlopez | BluesKaj, thanks, I have dropbox installed already, the thing is that the installer just stopped downloading dropbox at 53%. It's been like that for hours. | 16:15 |
| elvenfighter | BluesKaj, is this your's tutorial? | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez, so you're actually locked or stuck and the installer is doing nothing then ? | 16:16 |
| elvenfighter | I mean it would be good to mention this extension | 16:16 |
| elvenfighter | BluesKaj | 16:16 |
| elvenfighter | http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Dropbox+ServiceMenu?content=124416 | 16:16 |
| rlopez | I've been using the dropbox default client for a while and it works fine | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | elvenfighter, no the tutorial is by Richard A Johnson | 16:17 |
| rlopez | I've tried kfilebox too, but then i just ended up using the default client | 16:18 |
| rlopez | elvenfighter, thanks! that looks useful | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez , well it's always good to have proven alternatives just in case , but in the meantime if your installer is stuck then stop the process , remove dropbox , restart the upgrader if possible | 16:19 |
| rlopez | BluesKaj, i'm going to let it run for a little longer, if it's still stuck, I'll try that :) thanks | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez, if the upgraded\r has been stuck at the same point for hrs then it's definitely stopped | 16:22 |
| BluesKaj | and not doing anything | 16:22 |
| rlopez | BluesKaj, yeah... maybe my internet connection was lost last night at some point, and it just froze there | 16:24 |
| craigbass1976 | rlopez, you don't have fairpoint do you? | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | rlopez, somewhow I doubt that , dpkg usually autorestarts on it's own or quits and closes | 16:26 |
| rlopez | craigbass1976, nope. What's that? | 16:27 |
| craigbass1976 | My ISP. Ikeep losing connection too... | 16:27 |
| * BluesKaj shrugs ..it's your upgrade | 16:29 | |
| rlopez | craigbass1976, oh ok. I live in venezuela, so It didn't ring any bells :) | 16:29 |
| rlopez | BluesKaj, thanks for your help | 16:34 |
| BluesKaj | what help ? | 16:34 |

| orated | Hello! Where is the keyboard shortcut set for KMenu/Kickoff Application launcher? I cannot find it in keyboard shortcut settings ... | 16:46 |
| orated | Alt+F1 which used to present no longer works for me now | 16:46 |
| bazhang | orated, alt f2 you mean? | 16:48 |
| nurupo | orated: alt+f2 works fine | 16:48 |
| orated | Alt+F2 is for Krunner afaik | 16:50 |
| orated | I'm asking for Application Launcher Menu (as per Add Widget options) | 16:51 |
| orated | Alt + F2 works fine here. But I'm not able to get Alt+F1 work | 16:52 |
| natman | My laptop screen goes dark at the login page, then normal brightness once my password is accepted, can anyone help? | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | natman, kmenu>computer>system settings>login page , "get new themes" , or enable the default | 16:57 |
| anonymouse_ | hello | 17:03 |
| natman | BluesKaj: did that, set to defaults, no help | 17:04 |
| natman | BluesKaj: i have tried to install a theme, i click install from the list of themes, but nothing extra ever appears in the list availible to me | 17:05 |
| BluesKaj | natman, are you on the job or using your laptop as a home user? | 17:07 |
| natman | BluesKaj: laptop as home user | 17:07 |
| GirlyGirl | natman: Some themes just don't work ... also those themes only worked for me if I run system settings as root with "kdesudo systemsettings" | 17:09 |
| BluesKaj | then you could use the auto login to by pass the login page altogether , click on the convenience tab, enable passwordless logins, enable autologin, preselect user , apply | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | natman,^ | 17:11 |
| natman | BluesKaj: ya seen that, just laptop does come outside some days, would hate for it to be stolen with auto login | 17:12 |
| natman | BluesKaj: okay, kdesudo allowed me to actually install new thems, gonna try a new one now | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | well, the pws are still required for any apps and sites requiring security | 17:14 |
| natman | BluesKaj: :( made no difference, still have to hit the "increase screen brightness button" to actually see the screen | 17:16 |
| nixternal | BluesKaj: nice to see that tutorial is still being used (re: dropbox for kde). anyways, I added an update linking to the servicemenu for kde. i guess that tutorial still works :) | 17:18 |
| BluesKaj | nixternal, good to hear :) | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | nixternal, IIRC , that tutorial/Blog is yours , correct ? | 17:40 |
| nixternal | correct | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | nixternal, good job :) | 17:43 |
| nixternal | BluesKaj: thanks. i did the post out of frustration back then actually. it is by far the most popular post on my blog, and from time-to-time gets a /. or digg effect, even after a couple of years | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | nixternal, I have it in my linux help sites bookmarks folder...the methos is cleaner than the kfilebox method which used to break after a few sessions | 17:46 |
| nixternal | glad it still works | 17:47 |
| nixternal | i am horrid at keeping old posts updated, but i want to keep that one up to date as it is pretty popular | 17:47 |
| efe | hello everybody | 18:33 |
| efe | i am looking for help about some graphic card issue | 18:34 |
| efe | can someone help me please? | 18:34 |
| efe | anybody even hear me? | 18:37 |
| annalee | Efe, it's rude to send usolicited private messages. Please don't do that. | 18:37 |
| efe | sorry i am just desperately looking for help :( | 18:38 |
| annalee | Not everyone in the nick list is actually at their keyboard, and not everyone at their keyboard can help you. | 18:39 |
| annalee | If someone's in the room who can help you, they'll see your request and jump in. | 18:39 |
| annalee | The rest of us aren't ignoring you; we're either not here or can't answer your question. | 18:40 |
| efe | sure you are right :( i am just trying to solve my problem for about 48hours and no good progress so far | 18:40 |
| Pici | efe: You may also want to try #ubuntu, since graphics card issues are more of a 'core' problem. | 18:42 |
| efe | thank you pici i am trying it right now | 18:43 |
| annalee | and if you still don't get an answer, try checking back at other times of day. Not sure what timezone you're in but it may not be the same time zone as the people best qualified to answer your question. | 18:43 |

| L3tops | I just wanted to say, I have been doing support in #ubuntu since release... and kubuntu (kde) has been met with little fanfare, yet... has become, imo, the lightweight stable derivative. Unity has a lot of serious issues it seems impolite to address... esp w/regards to nVidia (and the regeressive 295.40 driver, which is shared), however... nVidia is not the issue, though there is a bit of a performance hit. I am not pooping on Ubuntu.. | 23:13 |
| L3tops | . I wish instead to say what a fantastic job kubu/kde has done. | 23:13 |
| L3tops | Well done devs. | 23:14 |
| L3tops | I do not have a support issue, so the entire diatribe is inappropriate in this channel... and I am sorry for being off topic in my praise. I hope I will be forgiven. | 23:17 |
| szal | L3tops: Kubuntu = lightweight? :o | 23:27 |
| szal | I somehow doubt that KDE is noticeably lighter than GNOME or Unuty | 23:27 |
| L3tops | yeah... I said it. | 23:27 |
| szal | *Unity | 23:27 |
| L3tops | szal: Install, and get back to me... in terms of resources. | 23:28 |
| L3tops | I have installed both on 12 machines... and unity... imo not ready for prime time. | 23:28 |
| === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal | ||
| szal | if you want lightweight, go XFCE or LXDE or one of the more 'esoteric' WMs | 23:28 |
| L3tops | I have spent the last 80 hrs addressing video issues | 23:28 |
| L3tops | it is all relative | 23:29 |
| L3tops | I did not make relation to xfce, or xbmc, or mint or lfs... | 23:29 |
| L3tops | I made relation to Ubuntu... until you do, I am not willing to have a discussion on the topic, and we should do so in offtopic | 23:30 |
