[17:56] Wizard: During install time it tries to understand what kind of computer you have and installs whatever desktop it thinks is the right one, sometimes wrongly [17:56] maco: I did that, I was just shocked. [17:56] This is a small netbook, so it guessed "correctly" [17:56] my netbook gets desktop mode by default, because it's a very high resolution netbook [17:57] I also installed Kubuntu Precise on my Powerbook G4, works like a charm :D [17:58] Anyone else have a glitch where kopete just won't log in? It worked fine for me consistently, but then it just randomly shows a blank buddy list [17:58] I think it might have something to do with some service not being started...any way to check it?

[18:02] Wizard: http://pastebin.com/CxYadFki [18:05] It spits the same here, but without this last line. [18:08] Hmm, How often does it disconnect?

All is well, and again, thanks for being here.

[18:14] its not just one client [18:14] I have several protocols [18:15] and they all go out at once [18:15] and clicking 'attempt to log back in' does nothing [18:15] like, setting the status to 'online' [18:16] And only kopete disconnects? [18:16] * Barsan is away: Ausente no momento [18:20] Well, I only use kopete [18:20] but I have multiple protocols and accounts under kopete [18:20] so I doubt its a server issue [18:20] if the server went out, it would only be one server [18:20] !away > Barsan [18:20] Barsan, please see my private message [18:21] plus, I'm really doubtful that the gmail jabber server and the msn live server and the aim server for the east coast all go out simultaneously [18:21] so its certainly a client error [18:23] * Barsan is back.

[20:38] Currently no backports. It seems it only has Oneiric packages. [20:38] asfyxia, you can find the ppas in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [20:39] Or use the command sudo add-apt-repository -r "ppa" to remove it [20:43] Hello! Quick question about khotkeys. Does anybody know how to coerce it to use raw codes instead of key codes for inputting shortcuts? The issue is, when I try to make a shortcut C-M-, it simplifies that to C-M-. I could live with C-M- falsely triggering the action, except that C-M- does _not_ trigger the action. It makes the numpad, which I use for all of my directional shortcuts, functionally useless. [20:46] There's something wrong with index files, I think I'd better clean out my /etc/apt/sources.list, but not today... ;-p [20:52] ....and suddenly Muon wake up and a lot is happening, from the new ppa I reckon, and I'll lean back and enjoy the show... [20:53] Small correction: It's not khotkeys (don't know why I thought it was?) It's the kde control module's shortcut settings === EvilResistance is now known as Resistance [21:20] Ok, I have KDE 4.8.3 now on Precise, so I'm running a Lamborghini straight from the factory...

[23:44] yep [23:45] and download your brand new .*shrc [23:45] Cerealklr: perhaps somebody in this channel could do something like this :) [23:46] bezgo: it's a number to describe binary information [23:46] What would cause my Date and Time to shift dramatically 30 minutes off, especially when it is supposed to be in sync with an NTP source?

[23:49] Oh no, by broken in I meant "lived in" or "configured as I like" [23:49] ah, ok :) [23:49] in fact, except for a few little issues with Muon in the very beginning on 11.10, I've had no serious issues [23:50] I must say I'm very pleased with 12.04 which I installed without any problem on that comp [23:50] But I've got a whole stack of tiny ones (Grid Desktop activity only works on the first display of my virtual desktops, the shortcut manager records processed key codes instead of raw keycodes, so it doesn't work for a large number of reaosnable normal keys [like the number pad]), etc. [23:50] while still using 11.10 with 4.8.2 on my laptop. Though, I haven't tried the dready akonadi.. [23:51] I've figured out the issue to the former problem after a lot of testing and messing with display settings, but still can't figure out a fix [23:51] can't help you there [23:52] Yeah, I've posted about it here and #kde twice, and nobody really had any input. =/ [23:52] does a usb 3 controller have to be onboard during the installation of linux, or can i add one later and work?

As to what that module would be called, I haven't a clue.

[23:54] this is my output [23:54] http://paste.kde.org/471608/ [23:55] Cerealklr: it's functional. just that my usb thumbdrives are faster than this [23:55] have you had the opportunity to speedtest that combination of hardware on a different OS? [23:56] Cerealklr just installed it 20 minutes ago. [23:56] calcmandan: xhci_hcd is loaded, which as I understand it is the module in charge of USB3.0 support [23:57] So yes, it looks like kubuntu has recognized it as such [23:57] Cerealklr: ok thanks.
