[13:52] <eagles0513875> hey guys what package do i need to reinstall to get the kde netbook desktop back
[13:53] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, kubuntu-desktop
[13:53] <ikonia> eagles0513875: is this on 12.10 ?
[13:53] <eagles0513875> correct ikonia
[13:53] <ikonia> cool
[13:54] <eagles0513875> ikonia: what im finding odd is how i even have a desktop if i dont have kubuntu-desktop installed
[13:54] <ikonia> it's a meta package
[13:56] <eagles0513875> ikonia: understood but if i purged it it should purge all the packages associated with the meta package
[13:56] <ikonia> no
[13:57] <ikonia> it will just remove the meta package
[13:57] <eagles0513875> ok
[13:59] <eagles0513875> now to get the netbook desktop back what should i do
[13:59] <ikonia> can you not re-apply the netbook meta package ?
[14:00] <ikonia> or can you configure the desktop into "netbook mode" from the kde tools (I don't know, asking not telling)
[14:00] <eagles0513875> to answer your question you can from system settings
[14:01] <ikonia> eagles0513875: ok, so is that the best/acceptable way to do it ?
[14:01] <eagles0513875> now why even use the netbook meta package to begin with
[14:01] <eagles0513875> im guessing so
[14:02] <ikonia> I'd assume the netbook package was to set the netbook settings post install
[14:02] <ikonia> as they both use "kde" the kubuntu-desktop installs the kde+kubuntu components, then the netbook package tweaks them to netbook layout (I'd assume)
[14:02] <eagles0513875> cant that be done from the same package and eliminate the need for the netbook transitional package all together
[14:04] <ikonia> eagles0513875: the netbook package is being phased out as I understand from riddels commands
[14:04] <ikonia> but I don't see a problem with having it
[14:06] <eagles0513875> ikonia: if i can get away with kubuntu-desktop meta only?
[14:06] <ikonia> why does it matter ?
[14:06] <ikonia> (apologies if I'm missing the point of the question)
[14:06] <ikonia> you shouldn't need the netbook package to configure the desktop, as you've just said you can do it manually,
[14:06] <ikonia> the packages are linked to kubuntu-desktop
[14:07] <eagles0513875> i am and the menu is still broken sadly
[14:07] <ikonia> so you should be "fine"
[14:09] <ikonia> if it's still broke, grab the details, update the bug as best as you can
[14:09] <ikonia> (assuming it's the same issue)
[14:09] <eagles0513875> ikonia: i did yesterday with back trace something is causing a sig abort
[14:09] <ikonia> then why are you testing this ?
[14:10] <ikonia> if you've updated the bug already
[14:10] <eagles0513875> does the desktop version use the same menubar as the netbook version
[14:10] <ikonia> no idea.
[14:12] <eagles0513875> brb im going to reboot
[14:13] <ikonia> why ?
[14:13] <ikonia> what's happened that needs a reboot ?
[14:13] <ikonia> (or is it an unrelated reboot)
[14:16] <eagles0513875> ikonia: .kde contains my configuration files correct?
[14:22] <ikonia> eagles0513875: sure
