Steve132Previous Versions of Ubuntu/KUbuntu allow you to install the bootloader to a particular disk00:28
Steve132during the install process, there was an 'advanced' options tab which let you do this00:28
Steve132however, I ran the installer and I don't see any such option00:28
Steve132https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Mac_OSX.2C_Vista.2C_and_Ubuntu00:31
Steve132See the "Start Installing" option where it clarifies how to do that00:31

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
DaemonFCKDE calls that the task manager00:44
ussher_perfect DaemonFC00:45
ussher_thanks.  I tried window manager, and activity bar, but they were both wrong00:45
ussher_the icons arnt so great at conveying the differences between stuff.00:46
DaemonFCussher_: If you get really stuffed, you can just delete the panel and have it create a new one using the default template00:48
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_heheh!!!03:11
AlexZionnatman: you have color scheme on the system settings of kde ...03:12
natmanAlexZion: but i want to just alter the panel nothing else03:12
AlexZionso 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

workisgreathi, when i disable desktop effects, the task manager turns dark. how do i make it use a lighter color? / kubuntu 12.0412:32
GirlyGirlworkisgreat: Screenshot ... never heard of such a problem12:35
workisgreatGirlyGirl: http://s019.radikal.ru/i603/1205/19/ff8de95bbfbb.png12:36
GirlyGirlworkisgreat: 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
GirlyGirlworkisgreat: Its just a quirk when disabling desktop effects, after a reboot it should be fine too12:39
workisgreatGirlyGirl: i tried - didn't help12:39
workisgreatproblem 2: view modes in dolphin don't work12:40
natmanhow do i check if Muon update notifier is working, i have not seen it in 3 days12:41
GirlyGirlworkisgreat: The taskmanager should sort itself out on nect login ... did you disable effects in systemsettings?12:41
GirlyGirlnatman: "sudo apt-get update"12:41
natmanGirlyGirl: I know there are  updates, just want to know if the little pop box will ever tell me12:42
GirlyGirlnatman: If there are updates it should tell you12:42
workisgreatGirlyGirl: it doesn't sort it. yes, i disable the effects in system settings12:43
workisgreatproblem 3 - is there a way to get rid of the message indicator, but have kopete / konversation etc. tray icons appear?12:43
GirlyGirlworkisgreat: 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
natmanGirlyGirl: 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
GirlyGirlworkisgreat: Just go in system tray settings (right click the tray) and remove message indicator12:45
GirlyGirlnatman: You can configure update checks with "kdesudo software-properties-kde"12:46

workisgreatGirlyGirl: Radeon HD5500 on work computer / Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT on home comp -- on both the problem persists12:46
GirlyGirlworkisgreat: Try changing the theme to oxygen then back to air ... after running commands mentioned above12:47

GirlyGirlDoes 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/Kubuntu12:56
Piciiirc, you can upgrade with either the desktop or alternate CDs now.12:58
n00bywhy 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
GirlyGirlPici: How exactly do you upgrade with the desktop CDs?12:59
n00bythe same problem always arises when i install googleearth, i have to set fonts to 20 with qtconfig-qt4 in gnome to get it readable13:00
PiciGirlyGirl: Put the CD in while you're running Kubuntu and it should prompt you.13:00
PiciGirlyGirl: The same way you would with the Alternate CD.13:00
GirlyGirlPici: 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
BluesKajn00by, I gave up on google earth , it's advantage over google maps has become minimal IMO ...too little return for too much hassle13:04
GirlyGirlPici: I can't see any mention of the possibility to upgrade from the desktop cd online. Have you ever tried this?13:05

GirlyGirlRiddell: Slow Internet and other reasons14:09
GirlyGirlRiddell: The ot person left14:10
RiddellGirlyGirl: yeah you can't upgrade from the desktop CD only overwrite it (which is often fine too)14:10
RiddellGirlyGirl: the alternate CD should have an upgrade script on it still that you can run but I haven't tested it14:11
GirlyGirlStill waiting for the kmix fix before upgrading some computers esp those used by other people14:12
GirlyGirlRiddell: 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 collectively14:21
RiddellGirlyGirl: 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
RiddellGirlyGirl: I hope kmix will be fixed with KDE SC 4.8.3 which is due this week14:24
GirlyGirlRiddell: It is fixed in 4.8.3 which is due today I believe14:24

theguyfromaccounHow do I disable a service like IPP or whatever is rnning on port 53?15:24
craigbass1976theguyfromaccoun, what's ps -ef tell you?  If it gives you a process number you can kill processnumber.  Where's this accoun place you're from?15:25

theguyfromaccouncraigbass1976: yes, but I'm running Kubutu desktop 12.0415:26

theguyfromaccounI don't want ANY ports open on my laptop15:28
craigbass1976theguyfromaccoun, Oh, hit the k menu (start menu, whatever) and search for services.  There's a service manager that might be what you're after15:28
theguyfromaccounnope15:29
theguyfromaccounDoesn't even show IPP or whatever is on port 5315:29
craigbass1976you 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 host15:29
craigbass1976How do you kwo there';s something running on 53 in the first place?15:30

craigbass1976I 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
drostieheh. enjoying it so far?15:33
drostieUnity 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
drostieI 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
drostieKubuntu 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
theguyfromaccounFigured it out15:36
theguyfromaccounPort 53 is open because dnsmasq is running on 12.0415:36

rlopezBluesKaj, 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
elvenfighterBluesKaj, is this your's tutorial?16:15
BluesKajrlopez, so you're actually locked or stuck and the installer is doing nothing then ?16:16
elvenfighterI mean it would be good to mention this extension16:16

elvenfighterhttp://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Dropbox+ServiceMenu?content=12441616:16
rlopezI've been using the dropbox default client for a while and it works fine16:17
BluesKajelvenfighter, no the tutorial is by Richard A Johnson16:17
rlopezI've tried kfilebox too, but then i just ended up using the default client16:18
rlopezelvenfighter, thanks! that looks useful16:19
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 possible16:19
rlopezBluesKaj, i'm going to let it run for a little longer, if it's still stuck, I'll try that :) thanks16:20
BluesKajrlopez, if the upgraded\r has been stuck at the same point for hrs then it's definitely stopped16:22
BluesKajand not doing anything16:22
rlopezBluesKaj, yeah... maybe my internet connection was lost last night at some point, and it  just froze there16:24
craigbass1976rlopez, you don't have fairpoint do you?16:26
BluesKajrlopez, somewhow I doubt that , dpkg usually autorestarts on it's own or quits and closes16:26
rlopezcraigbass1976, nope. What's that?16:27
craigbass1976My ISP.  Ikeep losing connection too...16:27
* BluesKaj shrugs ..it's your upgrade16:29
rlopezcraigbass1976, oh ok. I live in venezuela, so It didn't ring any bells :)16:29
rlopezBluesKaj, thanks for your help16:34

natmanMy laptop screen goes dark at the login page, then normal brightness once my password is accepted, can anyone help?16:53
BluesKajnatman, kmenu>computer>system settings>login page , "get new themes" , or enable the default16:57
anonymouse_hello17:03
natmanBluesKaj: did that, set to defaults, no help17:04
natmanBluesKaj: 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 me17:05
BluesKajnatman, are you on the job or using your laptop as a home user?17:07
natmanBluesKaj: laptop as home user17:07
GirlyGirlnatman: 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
BluesKajthen 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  , apply17:11
BluesKajnatman,^17:11
natmanBluesKaj: ya seen that, just laptop does come outside some days, would hate for it to be stolen with auto login17:12
natmanBluesKaj: okay, kdesudo allowed me to actually install new thems, gonna try a new one now17:13
BluesKajwell, the pws are still required for any apps and sites requiring security17:14
natmanBluesKaj: :( made no difference, still have to hit the "increase screen brightness button" to actually see the screen17:16
nixternalBluesKaj: 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
BluesKajnixternal, good to hear :)17:24
BluesKajnixternal, IIRC , that tutorial/Blog is yours , correct ?17:40
nixternalcorrect17:41
BluesKajnixternal, good job :)17:43
nixternalBluesKaj: 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 years17:44
BluesKajnixternal, 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 sessions17:46
nixternalglad it still works17:47
nixternali am horrid at keeping old posts updated, but i want to keep that one up to date as it is pretty popular17:47
efehello everybody18:33
efei am looking for help about some graphic card issue18:34
efecan someone help me please?18:34
efeanybody even hear me?18:37
annaleeEfe, it's rude to send usolicited private messages. Please don't do that.18:37
efesorry i am just desperately looking for help :(18:38
annaleeNot everyone in the nick list is actually at their keyboard, and not everyone at their keyboard can help you.18:39
annaleeIf someone's in the room who can help you, they'll see your request and jump in.18:39
annaleeThe rest of us aren't ignoring you; we're either not here or can't answer your question.18:40
efesure you are right :( i am just trying to solve my problem for about 48hours and no good progress so far18:40
Piciefe: You may also want to try #ubuntu, since graphics card issues are more of a 'core' problem.18:42
efethank you pici i am trying it right now18:43
annaleeand 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

L3topsI 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
L3topsWell done devs.23:14
L3topsI 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
szalL3tops: Kubuntu = lightweight? :o23:27
szalI somehow doubt that KDE is noticeably lighter than GNOME or Unuty23:27
L3topsyeah... I said it.23:27

L3topsszal: Install, and get back to me... in terms of resources.23:28

szalif you want lightweight, go XFCE or LXDE or one of the more 'esoteric' WMs23:28
L3topsI have spent the last 80 hrs addressing video issues23:28
L3topsit is all relative23:29
L3topsI did not make relation to xfce, or xbmc, or mint or lfs...23:29
L3topsI made relation to Ubuntu... until you do, I am not willing to have a discussion on the topic, and we should do so in offtopic23:30

L3topsszal: the long standing "complaint" against kde has been weight related. It is my suggestion that in 1204, she is not the fat girl. She is not even zoftig. She is svelt. She runs lean, on crap equip. Yes. She is lightweight.23:42
