OxDeadC0desometimes I wonder... I hooked up speakers to this newish tower I've got, it's got a intel/sigmatel audio controller, wasn't getting sound.. so I put the speakers into line out, opened alsa mixer, changed line out to line in/mic in, then back to line out, and it started playing (Still nothing through the main output though)01:23

ct529hi everybody .... I am trying to install kubuntu on a GPT formatted disk, but i have been unsuccessfull so far .... the installer does not see the GPT partitioning07:58
ct529in other words, it sees the partitions, but sees the total dimension of the disk  (750G) as 95G, and the partitions seem much smaller than what they actually are if I see them using gparted07:59
OxymoronHi, does anyone know any widget, patch or something that can switch between audio profiles?08:22
hateballOxymoron: what are you trying to achieve?08:34
hateballdifferent outputs/inputs etc?08:34
Oxymoronhateball: I want to have auto switch between anaog stereo profile and HDMI, depending if I have HDMI plugged or not in my laptop.08:35
hateballah right, that sounds useful08:36
hateballdoesnt it do that per default tho?08:36
Oxymoronhateball: For the moment I need todo systems settings -> multimedia -> phonon tab -> hardware profile and change manually each time.08:36
OxymoronNo, it doesnt do it per default. At least not on my system.08:36
OxymoronIt is pulseaudio.08:36
hateballI seem to recall that it switched both gpu and audio to hdmi when I plugged it on my Intel machine08:36
hateballbut I may remember wrong08:36
OxymoronI also have Intel. Have Intel HD Graphics 3000 and integrated audio Intel.08:37
hateballI know I was unable to only output the sound over hdmi, if I didnt also mirror/switch X to hdmi08:37
hateballbut I havent fiddled with that stuff in a long while08:37
OxymoronWaht I want preferable is to automaticly switch to correct profile depending if HDMI cable is in or not. Would be nice to have both audio and video, but audio is most annoying to change.08:38
OxymoronThere is commands in pulseaudio to switch between audio profiles. So basicly I would just need a script to check if hdmi is plugged in or not. Then auto switch profile.08:39
hateballI guess it could be scripted08:39
hateball:)08:39
OxymoronI just do not know how to script it, should it be bash and be placed in my home directory or what? :S08:39
ct529hi everybody .... I am trying to install kubuntu on a GPT formatted disk, but i have been unsuccessfull so far .... the installer does not see the GPT partitioning08:39

eagles0513875_hey guys how on earth does one install fonts?08:39
ct529hi everybody .... I am trying to install kubuntu on a GPT formatted disk, but i have been unsuccessfull so far .... the installer does not see the GPT partitioning08:39
FloodBotK1ct529: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.08:40
ct529ops sorry ....08:40
ct529slip of the tab ....08:40
hateballOxymoron: Well it wouldnt really matter what language or where it's placed, but it'd need to be run in the background and poll if HDMI is connected or not08:40
eagles0513875_ct529: make sure you flag the partition in gparted as bootable08:41
Oxymoronhateball: Yeah, but how to make it run in background? :P08:41
hateballeagles0513875_: krunner -> type "fonts" and you should get the install fonts thingy08:41
eagles0513875_ty hateball08:42
hateballeagles0513875_: that is, if you have .ttf files to install manually. otherwise there are tons of packages in the repo08:42
Oxymoronhateball: Also I do not understand why it is not integrated already. WOuld be asbtract in Phonon to work on all video and audio cards settings. Then just a API for it.08:42
Oxymoronhateball: Maybe there is a command in Phonon to switch profiles?08:42
hateballOxymoron: Well it's probably not implemented because not enough people, or rather the right people, havent been annoyed enough by the lack of it yet08:42
hateballOxymoron: there probably is a dbus command08:43
ikoniaOxymoron: I used to do something similar within xorg for if my laptop was docked or not, you may want to look at the possability of an event driven trigger on a script08:43
Oxymoronhateball: Yeah i guess so. I have been trying to fix this long time, but I have not right experience how to make Xorg and Alsa scripts.08:44
ikoniaOxymoron: maybe look at udev or dbus depending on what will class as the event08:44
Oxymoronhateball: This is a thing Windows user migrate to Kubuntu or Ubuntu want to just work. When plugin HDMI it should change automaticly.08:45
Oxymoronikonia: You knwo how xmbc does?08:45
hateballOxymoron: You could file an enchancement bug on launchpad08:45
hateballThis seems like something I may play with once I get some vacation time08:46
Oxymoronhateball: There is a thousand of them already. Nobody seem to care. I found a lot of bugs, suggestions on both ubuntu and kubuntu.08:46
ikoniaOxymoron: I don't know what xmbc does,08:46
Oxymoronikonia: XMBC has some kind of script to switch HDMI automaticly.08:46
ikoniaOxymoron: check out the guys with xmbc, see if they can explain what they are using as a trigger08:47
ikoniaOxymoron: I'm surprised an "application" is changing the audio settings though08:47
Oxymoronikonia: Yeah smart, I ask them :)08:48
ikoniaOxymoron: it will be interesting to know, that way you can see if it is usable outside of xmbc08:48
Oxymoronikonia: There is some app or something to switch, I dont remember what the name is though. I just wish it worked automaticly.08:48
ikoniaOxymoron: it won't work automatically unless you tie that to an event driven setup08:48
Oxymoronikonia: Yeah and i am very surprised anyone havent done it yet. HDMI isnt like yesterday technique08:49
ikoniaOxymoron: the event would be different for each desktop/setup it would be quite awkward to do for every user out of the box08:50
Oxymoronikonia: Why would it be different for each desktop? :)08:51
ikoniaOxymoron: different hardware, different event triggers08:51
Oxymoronikonia: Isnt that why Phonon exist for instance?08:51
ikoniaI'm not sure what you mean ?08:52
OxymoronI thought Phonon is some abstract layer to work with audio and video?08:52
ikoniaI can't see how that can change hardware configuration though08:52
Oxymoronikonia: Well it would abstract the hardware, so it doesnt matter which hardware I think? I am not sure though.08:53
ct529eagles0513875_: can you do that in gpt?08:54
eagles0513875_ct529: yes i have a 2tb hdd which it works just fine on08:55
ct529eagles0513875_: so you did first partition with gdisk08:55
ct529eagles0513875_: putting a gpt partition table on it08:55
ikoniaOxymoron: but the hardware config would need to change to do what you want08:55
ct529eagles0513875_: then created the partitions then formatted them08:55
ct529eagles0513875_: did you create a small initial 32Mb bootable partition?08:56
ct529eagles0513875_: for GRUB08:56
Oxymoronikonia: How do you mean?08:56
eagles0513875_ct529: no i usualy let the installer auto partition and do all that for me08:56
ct529eagles0513875_: and are you using LVM under it or not?08:56
ikoniaOxymoron: if you change the output device, you're making a hardware config change08:56
ct529eagles0513875_: so the autopartition uses GTP rather than MBR????08:56
ct529eagles0513875_: since when?08:56
Oxymoronikonia: Yeah, but isnt that abstracted in both Linux kernel and Phonon?08:58
ikoniaOxymoron: not really08:58
Oxymoronikonia: Then I do not know09:00

drostieHi guys. Dolphin keeps opening SVGs with Firefox even though I've told both it and KDE's File Associations to open in Inkscape (and eliminated Firefox from this list). What else in KDE might Dolphin be querying?11:18
qbitdrostie: this happens with xml files and umbrello files too; a bug report against dolphin has been files I believe - so it is a known issue that needs fixing in dolphin11:22
qbitdrostie: when I tried the same xml file in Konqueror file manager it worked as it should11:23
drostieAh, so all XML files get interpreted as web links and get interpreted as the Default Applications > Web Browser > http/https application. o_O.11:24
qbityes - in dolphin, but not Konqueror file manager11:25
qbitso I think this means it's a Dolphin specific issue and not a KDE -wide in general11:25
qbitat least that's my best guess at this point...11:25
drostieqbit: ok. is there a nice way to launch a KDE-compliant general purpose file opener from the command line? ^_^11:26
qbitdrostie: just use Konqueror with file management profile11:26
drostieqbit: *sigh* apt-get install konqueror ;_;11:28
qbitdrostie: I thought that should have been part of a basic install in KDE, maybe I'm mistaken there11:28
drostieactually honestly I'm not sure why I'm b*tching aside from having to customize the display attributes again.11:29
drostieqbit: rekonq is the new default browser in kubuntu.11:29
drostieqbit: seriously, this is a little absurd. I right now have Chromium, rekonq, konqueror, IceCat, Firefox, and Tor Browser all installed on my computer.11:30
qbitdrostie: ah - OK - wasn't sure when they made that change as I don't use11:30
drostieI should just install lynx and call it a full house.11:30
qbitlol11:30
qbitdrostie: there is a plasmoid widget that you can install in the kicker  bar at the bottom which allows to more easily select which profile konqueror opens as11:31
qbitdrostie: it can be done with command line switches but I don't recall exactly the line11:32

drostieit's not a dolphin problem.12:01
BluesKajdrostie, what bug ?12:05
drostieBluesKaj: when I click on an SVG it opens in Firefox. No matter what. Because it thinks XML documents are automatically http/https URLs.12:05
drostiewell not "no matter what" -- it opens in whatever the http/https URL viewer is. But still.12:06

floown_BluesKaj: another kubuntu12:47
floown_BluesKaj: dolphin has proposed to install samba when I try to share it12:47
BluesKajthen you don't need samba , either ssh or NFS would be better , NFS will mount the dir like it's on the other pc12:48
BluesKajfloown_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo12:49
floown_BluesKaj: ok, so I better use NFS12:49

BluesKajthe pastebin widget keeps launching a new instance of Firefox , rather than opening a new tab ..can't find any options in FF or pastebin to change that behaviour ...any ideas?15:26
vsraoHi. My monitor goes to sleep whenever I play a video using VLC, every 2 minutes. I've tried changing power settings and screensaver settings.15:29
genii-aroundvsrao: Perhaps also try: xset -dpms       to turn off monitor's own built-in power saving15:30
vsraogenii-around: Okay, I'll try that.15:31
Avihayis it because kubuntu doesn't use xscreensaver anymore?15:31
Avihayi mean KDE15:31
vsraogenii-around: That didn't work.15:35
Avihayvsrao: I have set my screen bottom right corner action to inhibit screensaver, and whenever VLC messes up with inhibiting I use that, but I'm still on 11.10 so ymmv15:39
genii-aroundHm15:39
Avihay11.10/4.815:39
vsraoAvihay: Yeah, I'm on 12.04.15:39
AvihayI guessed so. still worth a try, maybe they didn't break that functionality... like in previous version... and then neglected to fix it for a year and a half...15:40
* Avihay is not resentfull15:40
BluesKajThe only setting I use in power management is screen energy saving set to 180 mins , nothing else is enabled , same goes for the screen saver  and I don't get anyinterruptions during movies with VLC or dragonplayer15:43
Avihaythere we go: System Settings -> Workspace Behaviour -> Screen Edges. on the corner: Prevent Screen Locking15:43
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: try this switch in the launch command of firefox15:43
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: "-new-instance"15:44
jdsWas he asking about screen locking or power saving mode while watching a movie, something like that? Because I was going to ask the same thing.15:45
BluesKajit's not FF that's causing it phoenix_firebrd , it's the pastebin widget15:45
Avihayand that works for 4.7,4.8 and hopefully later and for  4.5 and earlier versions but not for anything in between, where prevent screen locking...  locks the screen immediately...15:45
AvihayI might be off on the version numbers15:45
Avihayjds, yes15:46
BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, and I'm trying prevent a new instance not launch one .15:46
