| dnivra | hello. I running Kubuntu 12.04 on a sony vaoi vgnfw260j. My left button on my touchpad has stopped working-the right button works fine. Could someone tell me how can i make the left touchpad button work? | 05:06 |
| dnivra | i was here sometime back asking about this. few suggestions such as sudo Xorg -configure didn't work. i still can't use left button on touchpad. | 05:07 |
| dnivra | any help in fixing this would be appreciated. | 05:07 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: Did you check for any hardware issues? | 05:11 |
| dnivra | phoenix_firebrd: sorry got disconnected. well it stopped working right after the last update of xserver-xorg-input-evdev. | 05:30 |
| dnivra | it was working fine till then. | 05:31 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: does it work when using a live disk? | 05:31 |
| dnivra | i didn't try it out. i don't have access to one now. | 05:32 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: try this command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 05:32 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: then restart and see if it works | 05:33 |
| dnivra | phoenix_firebrd: okay will try that. | 05:34 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: waiting | 05:36 |
| dnivra | phoenix_firebrd: just rebooted. i tried ~25 clicks. two random ones worked. | 05:41 |
| dnivra | but otherwise, it is still the same. left button still doesn't work. | 05:41 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: can you wait? | 05:42 |
| dnivra | sure. i'll be here. | 05:42 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: you there? | 06:14 |
| dnivra | yes phoenix_firebrd | 06:14 |
| dnivra | just creating a live CD. could only managed to get my hands on a 32bit kubuntu 11.10 | 06:14 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: did you check the current xorg for any known issues? | 06:14 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: good | 06:15 |
| dnivra | you mean check the xorg logs? | 06:15 |
| dnivra | phoenix_firebrd: did you want me to check xorg logs? i forgot to add that I tried xev and it doesn't detect left click-it detects right click and scroll bar but nothing is registered for left click. | 06:18 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: what is xev? x environment variable? | 06:22 |
| dnivra | xev prints contents of x events. | 06:23 |
| dnivra | someone in this channel told me to check it out yesterday. | 06:23 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: ok. tell me when you finished checking with the live disk | 06:25 |
| dnivra | sure | 06:25 |
| dnivra | phoenix_firebrd: just booted live cd, rebooted and observed something. a small portion of the touchpad's left button works fine. | 06:36 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: is there a hardware problem? | 06:36 |
| dnivra | so I guess that's a hardware issue? | 06:36 |
| dnivra | how can I find out if there is a h/w issue? | 06:37 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: does it work with bois menu> | 06:38 |
| dnivra | by hardware you meant phsical device has an issue right? | 06:38 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: does it work with bios menu? | 06:38 |
| dnivra | well I didn't try-i've never booted the bios menu. i'll find out how to enter that and check it out. | 06:39 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: wait | 06:39 |
| dnivra | and when you said 'does it work', you meant that the cursor works fine right? | 06:39 |
| dnivra | alright. i'm going to check out the bios menu then. | 06:39 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: do you use grub menu while booting? | 06:39 |
| dnivra | yes I do. | 06:40 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: i dont think you can check the touchpad hardware state in bios as far as i know, try your luck | 06:42 |
| dnivra | okay. if I can't, should I do something in grub? | 06:43 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: no | 06:44 |
| dnivra | okay. let me check the bios settings then. | 06:45 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: are you new to linux? | 06:45 |
| dnivra | been using it for ~3 years I'd say. | 06:46 |
| dnivra | slightly more maybe. | 06:46 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: dont mistake me, do you have a windows install disk, vista or windows 7 | 06:46 |
| dnivra | i have a vista recovery partition-i don't have any discs. | 06:47 |
| dnivra | recovery partition came along with the laptop. | 06:47 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: so you can boot into vista? | 06:47 |
| dnivra | no I can't-that's only a recovery partition. I've to install it but don't have space to do so :( | 06:48 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: in that case, you better take it to the store and check for any hardware defects | 06:48 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: was your touchpad working normally in 12.04 before the update? | 06:50 |
| dnivra | phoenix_firebrd: ah okay will do. thaks for your help! i'll get in touch with the store. | 06:50 |
| dnivra | it was working even after 12.04 install. | 06:50 |
| dnivra | xserver-xorg-input-evdev (2.7.0-0ubuntu1, 2.7.0-0ubuntu1.2) udpated messed it up I guess. i don't see any other culprit. | 06:51 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: but when using the livecd it should have worked well, its probably the hardware | 06:52 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: good luck | 06:52 |
| dnivra | oh yeah that is true. thanks! i'll get in touch with the guys! | 06:52 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dnivra: yw | 06:52 |
| aetoxx | When visiting https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/Packaging, I get warned for malware. | 08:15 |
| hateball | aetoxx: the whole wiki has been marked as malware by Google | 08:18 |
| hateball | for whatever reason, I'm guessing some bot-attack | 08:18 |
| aetoxx | hateball, a bot-attack shouldn't do that. | 08:19 |
| aetoxx | hateball, only if some actual content containing some virus file which is automatically executed on some platform should trigger that. | 08:19 |
| aetoxx | hateball, e.g. someone uploading some specially crafted content which breaks a browser. | 08:20 |
| hateball | Yes, that's what I meant | 08:20 |
| hateball | something automated that edits public wikis | 08:20 |
| hateball | but who knows | 08:20 |
| aetoxx | Is there some way to secure Kubuntu in some way? | 08:20 |
| aetoxx | I.e., install all kinds of kernel security patches, etc.? | 08:21 |
| aetoxx | Randomized stacks, etc. | 08:21 |

| matchaw_ | hi, has anyone seen this bug with Kmail : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294690 | 08:29 |
| ubottu | KDE bug 294690 in general "Kmail/akonadi creates duplicate messages with slow IMAP connections" [Normal,Unconfirmed: ] | 08:29 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, and how do I know that the KDE people are not evil? | 08:32 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, are there 'signoffs'? | 08:33 |
| noaXess | hey all | 08:34 |
| noaXess | in dolphin i have still the problem, that on double clicking a xml, firefox will be called.. instead of kate, which is the default: http://i.imgur.com/Zh2vq.png | 08:36 |
| noaXess | any idea? thought this was solved? | 08:36 |
| Smurphy | aetoxx: If you want to check everything - you have to review the code all by yourself. Help yourself- the entire code is available :) | 08:37 |
| Smurphy | define signoffs ? | 08:37 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, google: signoff site: lkml.org | 08:37 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: did you configure the default applications ? | 08:37 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: you mean, right click, open as kate, set default app.. yeas... sometimes.. | 08:38 |
| Smurphy | aetoxx: That should definitly exist. the KDE folks are very organized. | 08:38 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: Nope - in system settings. (Hold on - have to find it myself first). | 08:38 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: check my screenshot i made | 08:39 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: System Settings -> Workspace Appearance and Behavior -> Default Applicatins | 08:39 |
| Smurphy | Could be it has priority ... | 08:39 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: Saw the screenshot | 08:39 |
| noaXess | ok | 08:39 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: ok.. lmc | 08:40 |
| ronrom | i have installed kde and login in kde but the gtk apps appear with big fonts, already tried "kcmshell4 kcmgtk" but the fonts remain the same, any help? | 08:49 |
| Smurphy | ronrom: System Settings -> Style - System Settings -> GTK+ Appearance - just configure it right. | 08:52 |
| Smurphy | I tell it to use my KDE Fonts in GTK+ aopplications. | 08:52 |
| ronrom | Smurphy: thats what i said, i runned "kcmshell4 kcmgtk" but the fonts remain the same | 08:52 |
| Smurphy | you have to log out and log in again. | 08:53 |
| ronrom | i did | 08:53 |
| Smurphy | it won't take these on the fly. | 08:53 |
| Smurphy | then - I have no idea... | 08:53 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: ok.. i'm in default apps... what you want to know? for Web browser, firefox is set to be default for http and https | 08:58 |
| Smurphy | What was your problem before ? Editor or Browser ? | 09:01 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: from dolphin, double click on a xml file, firefox will be used instead of kate | 09:02 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: Yes - Firefox is better at handling xml code (to view it actually). | 09:03 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: but i want edit it.. not vew it | 09:03 |
| noaXess | view ^ | 09:03 |
| noaXess | i want, that kate will be opened if i double click a xml file | 09:03 |
| aetoxx | How do I install latest Kubuntu on precise? | 09:05 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: What does the xml file look like ? make a: file bla.xml | 09:05 |
| aetoxx | I mean, some kind of nightly version. | 09:05 |
| Smurphy | aetoxx: the last stable one or unstable ? | 09:06 |
| Smurphy | Got 4.8.3 here ... :) | 09:06 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: XML document text | 09:06 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, unstable, I think. | 09:07 |
| Smurphy | aetoxx: unstrable is the 4.9.1 branche currently. If you are good with linux/KUbuntu - you'll know how to do it. if not - I advise you to stay with 4.8.3 | 09:07 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, uhm, no, because I don't know where the ppa or debs are. | 09:09 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: Are you sure that kate is not embedded in your browsewr ? | 09:10 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: ??.. no.. there was/is a bug in dolphin i know.. but can't remember... | 09:11 |
| Smurphy | noaXess: Guess the bug still exists. Has the same effect here. Will use the default browser to open the file (xml) here too - even though I have emacs configured. | 09:12 |
| Smurphy | Guess you have to open a bug-report :) | 09:12 |
| noaXess | Smurphy: yes, thats what i mean ;) | 09:12 |
| Smurphy | aetoxx: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.8.4 chck this out. | 09:13 |
| Smurphy | 4.8.4 is out already. | 09:13 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, I already have 4.8.4. | 09:13 |
| Smurphy | aetoxx: then check this out: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.8.90 | 09:14 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, which .kde does the beta use? | 09:21 |
| Smurphy | aetoxx: the .kde ... | 09:27 |
| aetoxx | Smurphy, I mean which settings directory does it use? | 09:28 |
| aetoxx | nepomuk works when you have <10,000 files to index or when you leave your kde session running for at least 5 days or so. | 09:32 |
| aetoxx | Even then, it occassionally crashes. | 09:33 |
| aetoxx | Just look at bugs.kde.org for the tons of problems that people report related to it. | 09:33 |
| aetoxx | Since most people login and logout and turn off their machines, the model is flawed. | 09:33 |
| aetoxx | This is, btw, well-known by the developers. | 09:34 |
| aetoxx | If I would be managing the KDE-product, I would have classified as a nice work in progress experimental tech-preview which has no place on a user's desktop and most importantly no path to any real viable implementation. | 09:36 |
| aetoxx | Now, anyone disagreeing with me on this is either ignorant or a developer who wants to remain relevant for something which in fact is just a bad idea. | 09:37 |
| lorddelta | So there's a problem with my gstreamer. | 10:24 |
| === god is now known as Guest36711 | ||
| lorddelta | By problem, I mean big giant problem that makes it seem like my system can't play any audio files, even though this is a lie and all my audio works pat fine. Any ideas about what I can do to fix this? I've tried to create a new gstreamer configuration by deleting the registration database and regenerating it with gst-inspect, but the gstreamer validly can't find device-audio/x-vorbis, which is the cause of some of my errors | 10:27 |
| lorddelta | Anyone know how to fix this? | 10:27 |
| lorddelta | For now I've just switched backends, vlc is a pretty solid, robust interface, but I'd prefer to use gstreamer if possible... | 10:27 |
| lorddelta | Since it seems to be more of a defacto framework. | 10:28 |
| lorddelta | That and if someone/something breaks vlc I'd like to have a backup. :D | 10:28 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:08 |
| AndChat251264 | Kde is... very ugly. | 12:16 |
| Smurphy | AndChat251264: Go troll somewhere else ... or - if you don't like it -> Participate to make it better ... | 12:19 |
| AndChat251264 | The window borders just see to chunky and cluttered, especially around buttons | 12:20 |
| ikonia | AndChat251264: do you need help ? | 12:20 |
| Smurphy | AndChat251264: -> themes ? Change it. | 12:22 |
| AndChat251264 | Any way to make windows more like gnome? And is kubuntu close to stable now? It always crashed lots for me. | 12:22 |
| Smurphy | Using it all the time - didn't crash in ages ... | 12:23 |
| Smurphy | AndChat251264: If you want to use Gnome, why don't you use it ? | 12:23 |
| Smurphy | You have "that" choice under linux | 12:23 |
| * Smurphy never liked gnome - started with KDE on version pre 1.0 :) | 12:24 | |
| TEldeeb | hello all, | 12:33 |
| TEldeeb | In ubuntu, I can remove all user settings by deleting .gnome* | 12:33 |
| TEldeeb | is there a similar thing in kubuntu? | 12:34 |
| TEldeeb | ?? | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | TEldeeb, that's pretty drastic , what user settings exactly , in system setings , in user management ? | 12:36 |
| TEldeeb | i mean dolphin bookmarks, panels, .. | 12:37 |
| qbit | TEldeeb: each user in their home directory most KDE configs are stored in .kde directory, if that's what you mean | 12:38 |
| TEldeeb | yeah .. i'll try it .. | 12:38 |
| TEldeeb | thanks | 12:38 |
| qbit | don't have to kill the entire thing | 12:38 |
| qbit | for extreme testing you can just rename it and log out and back in again | 12:38 |
| TEldeeb | what's ".kdevduchain/" | 12:38 |
| TEldeeb | thanks qbit | 12:39 |
| qbit | but under .kde is a directory share/config, you'll find them all in there, you can either rename or delete individual configs | 12:40 |
| qbit | if you delete one and log out of KDE and back in again you'll get it replaced with a default one | 12:40 |
| BluesKaj | i get the impression that it's the defaults that he wants to change :) | 12:41 |
| TEldeeb | no, i just want to get back to defaults | 12:42 |
| TEldeeb | i shall try | 12:42 |

| amar | is there a way to remove kwallet, it's boring me, i've tried apt-get remove purge, but he is not gone | 15:47 |
| DarthFrog | If you remove kwallet, you will be even more bothered with applications asking for passwords. | 15:48 |
| genii-around | I just give kwallet no password and it doesn't bug me again | 15:49 |
| amar | i suppressed his asking effect, but he is not gone by itself, and no it's better without him | 15:49 |

| bimmel | Hi, I try to connect my sshd over internet but the connections time out before any authentication takes place. The machine is directly connected and the port is opened. | 17:37 |
| genii-around | bimmel: 2.171.1.11 does not seem to be reachable | 17:40 |
| bimmel | thats not the ip | 17:40 |
| bimmel | oh well it is, it changed secs ago | 17:40 |
| bimmel | its port 666 | 17:40 |
| genii-around | bimmel: Ah, OK. Interestingly, traceroute on that ip shows it is being routed through ip numbers which are reserved for private use | 17:41 |
| bimmel | private use of whom? its just a mobile connection | 17:42 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, 2.171.1.112 is a generic IP ,probly a german ISP | 17:42 |
| bimmel | yes | 17:42 |
| genii-around | bimmel: traceroute results from here: http://pastebin.com/YUdYZmHe | 17:42 |
| genii-around | ( it just sticks on the last address forever ) | 17:43 |
| genii-around | So it looks like some routing isssue and not some sshd issue | 17:43 |

| genii-around | BluesKaj: I usually just do: whois <IP/FQDN> at command-line :-) | 17:45 |
| bimmel | how could i resolve that? i dont use any 192.168.17.0 network. so it does not reach me | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | yeah genii-around I use traceroute as well when the IP won't resolve on infosniper | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, whois in the terminal doesn't work here, is it part of apackage ? | 17:50 |

| kubuntu | . | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | yes this is kubuntu , support | 18:12 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: His issue looks like some network misconfiguration starting at DTAG.DE | 18:13 |
| genii-around | ( bimmel ) | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, I didn't understand his sshd reference | 18:15 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: "<bimmel> Hi, I try to connect my sshd over internet but the connections time out before any authentication takes place. The machine is directly connected and the port is opened." | 18:16 |
| genii-around | Was his original question... So I tried to reach port 22 on his ip, which failed... so then traceroute to see where it ends... then I discover somewhere in between is routing stuff through private IP ranges and traffic will never get to hip IP | 18:17 |
| genii-around | *his/her IP | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, he mentioned the port was 666 | 18:19 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: Yes, you can make ssh daemon run on any port you want instead of 22 | 18:20 |
| genii-around | Something higher than 1024 might have been better... | 18:20 |

| JoeSomebody | hi, change partition is resize? and if so is it safe? wanna cut win7 drive in half and install | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | JoeSomebody, yes , how large is the partition? | 19:17 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: do it from a livecd and reduce the risk | 19:17 |
| lordievader | JoeSomebody: It is safe, if you have a verified backup. Also use gparted, the kde partion editor is not very great. | 19:17 |
| genii-around | Might also want to do a chkdsk from in windows first | 19:17 |
| JoeSomebody | about 500gb for some reason it says 430 | 19:18 |
| JoeSomebody | so gparted resize bofore install is recommended? | 19:18 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: it's up to you when | 19:18 |
| JoeSomebody | ok will do a backup , and then gparted | 19:19 |
| ikonia | genii-around's tip is VERY important if you are changing ntfs | 19:19 |
| JoeSomebody | just wanna do whatever is best | 19:19 |
| JoeSomebody | yes chkdsk understood | 19:19 |
| lordievader | JoeSomebody: It has been my experience that the kde one hangs and not does any resizing, gparted would resize it fine. Note I am talking about an external drive. | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | JoeSomebody, hope you have patience , resizing can take many hrs ...I also prefer to repartition before installing another OS ..as suggested gparted live-cd is a good method | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | heh, more advice there than enough :) | 19:21 |
| JoeSomebody | yeah i know it takes awhile on that size | 19:21 |
| JoeSomebody | acer was good they used to make a data partition on half of it was easy with those ones | 19:21 |
| rainer_ | hi | 19:25 |
| lordievader | Hey rainer_ how are you? | 19:26 |
| Miguelito | What would be the command to show the list of devices on my system - for example /dev/sda1 | 19:26 |
| lordievader | Miguelito: Do you mean sudo fdisk -l? | 19:26 |
| Miguelito | lordievader: does that show the device list? | 19:26 |
| BluesKaj | Miguelito, df -h | 19:27 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: thanks again | 19:29 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: the link you sent me to rip a dvd using the cat command returned a input/output error | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | Miguelito,yes , using dd is a better method , sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=filename.iso | 19:39 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: It completed the process like in a second - i looked in the dir and it looks like the file is there - its like 850megs - is there a way to verify it? | 19:45 |
| BluesKaj | Miguelito, yes use VLC , it plays multimedia iso files | 19:46 |
| genii-around | !iso | 19:46 |

| BluesKaj | if it's amedia file | 19:46 |
| Miguelito | kk | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | I assume it's a media , Miguelito | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | media file | 19:47 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: yes it is but it did nothing when i tried to load it with VLC | 19:48 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: when i went to load it from the dvd it worked | 19:49 |
| genii-around | The newer DVDs sometimes use a protection scheme now where they make a track at the beginning which has nothing on it and close that off, then make a second track with the actual data on it | 19:50 |
| BluesKaj | 850mb doen't copy instantly , Miguelito it's probly still copying | 19:51 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: yea i know that but i havent seen any activity on dvd or hdisk | 19:51 |
| BluesKaj | Miguelito, do you have libdvdcss2 installed ..the dvd may ne DRM'd | 19:52 |
| BluesKaj | ne=be | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | geni what's the workaround if the phony track is on the dvd? | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around,^ | 19:53 |
| Miguelito | yes i do | 19:54 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 19:54 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: im so use to windows that i wasnt reading that number as raw data - its only 847k not megs - sorrys its been like 10-12 years since working with Linux | 19:56 |
| Scunizi | Is there a way within Dolphin using split screen/directory to quickly move the right pane to the same directory as the left? | 19:58 |
| genii-around | Miguelito: Do you have more than one dvd drive? | 20:01 |
| Miguelito | genii-around: no sir | 20:05 |
| Miguelito | genii-around: it works fine - i have no problem copying - i just want to be able to write ISO's for data storage | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | what kind of data Miguelito ? | 20:06 |
| genii-around | Miguelito: Yes, I understand. At our house we make iso files and store them on a central machine which can stream to whichever computers in the house | 20:06 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: its a playable dvd | 20:11 |
| Miguelito | genii-around: not sure why i am having such a hard time :( | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | Miguelito, right click on the iso, open with vlc , if you have vlc installed | 20:14 |
| genii-around | Miguelito: Well, you can also use k3b to make an iso. | 20:14 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: its not and ISO - its a regular DVD | 20:15 |
| Miguelito | genii-around: i am using k3b to copy but have not been able to get it to make the ISO - probably because im not familiar with it | 20:16 |
| BluesKaj | !iso | 20:17 |

| genii-around | Miguelito: Tools... Copy Medium...check off "Create Image" under options tab...specify a path in your home directory in the image tab | 20:18 |
| BluesKaj | sorry Miguelito . I misunderstood /: | 20:18 |
| genii-around | Miguelito: Make sure "remove image" is *NOT* checked off in the options tab | 20:19 |
| Miguelito | BluesKaj: np sir - thanks to both of you for helping this rusty old linux guy out :) | 20:19 |
| Miguelito | genii-around: do i do a rip or a copy - i seen the check box that your talking about but that was when i was copying | 20:23 |
| genii-around | Miguelito: copy medium ... the first one at the top of the menu usually | 20:23 |
| gits1225 | Some help here please. I unticked Apply colors to non-KDE4 applications from Application Appearance -> Colors and now the fonts don't look the same. | 20:24 |
| gits1225 | I tried changing to defaults and still doesn't revert to how the fonts looked in the default install. | 20:25 |
| Miguelito | genii-around: BluesKaj, thank you both for your help - i am testing a burn from the ISO now - will let you but i feel confident | 20:38 |
| Miguelito | genii-around: BluesKaj- it was successful | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | Miguelito, good to hear | 20:48 |
| genii-around | Miguelito: Cool. | 20:48 |

| BluesKaj | maco, what feature is that ? ..altho I'm not fan of sidebars | 21:11 |
| maco | BluesKaj: click the checkbox in View -> Chat Monitor. it's not a sidebar. it splits the conversation pane, so all channels are up top and current channel is bottom | 21:12 |

| mikeeey | my laptop is overheating with kernel 3.1, is this problem solved in the kernel provided in kubuntu 12.04 ? | 21:36 |
| mikeeey | or in 3.4 ? | 21:36 |
| genii-around | mikeeey: What makes you think the overheating is related to the kernel you are running? | 21:37 |
| mikeeey | this is what I have read | 21:37 |
| mikeeey | over the past 15 minutes | 21:37 |
| mikeeey | it's not that I'm using a CPU / GPU intensive app, and the laptop stays cool on Windows | 21:39 |
| genii-around | mikeeey: There is also an opensuse channel on freenode to ask in, since that's what you're using.. #opensuse | 21:46 |
| mikeeey | I thought this is a well known issue on all distros | 21:47 |

| f1zz3r | i know this question is too bad :X how can i open a folder in konsole? | 23:43 |
| genii-around | f1zz3r: You can't really "open" them in that sense. You can list what's in them however, by: ls foldernamehere | 23:44 |
| f1zz3r | my problem is i cant find /home/<user>/.kde/Autostart | 23:45 |
| genii-around | f1zz3r: The folder .kde is hidden from ls command because it begins with a period. | 23:46 |
| genii-around | f1zz3r: However, it does exist. If you are in konsole, and you want to go into that directory: cd ( by itself, that puts you in home directory) , then cd .kde/Autostart | 23:48 |
| f1zz3r | so i do---> ls /home/<user>/.kde/Autostart??????????? | 23:48 |
| genii-around | f1zz3r: Yes, that is another way, specifying the entire path | 23:48 |
| f1zz3r | but i dont want to open the folder in konsole | 23:49 |
| f1zz3r | i want to open the folder | 23:49 |
| genii-around | f1zz3r: If you cd to some directory, that means you are entering into it. Then when you do the ls command, you do not need to specify the entire path | 23:49 |
| f1zz3r | yah i know... i already have done ls /home/<user>/.kde/Autostart but nothing happens.. i know i am a noob but the question is how to open this in normal way | 23:51 |
| f1zz3r | in dolphin how can i see hiden folderS? | 23:52 |
| genii-around | f1zz3r: If you put another / with an asterisk after Autostart like: ls /home/$(whoami)/.kde/Autostart/* does it say file not found? | 23:54 |
| f1zz3r | ls: cannot access /home/f1zz3r/.kde/Autostart/*: No such file or directory | 23:55 |
| f1zz3r | :S | 23:55 |
| genii-around | f1zz3r: So it means that directory is empty | 23:56 |
