[00:46] <Reindeernix> When will kde 4.9 RC2 be added to kubuntu-beta repo?
[00:53] <M3CH3NGR> I think I'm in...
[00:53] <M3CH3NGR> Hello?
[00:53] <Reindeernix> Hello I am reindeernix-bot nice to meet you
[00:53] <Reindeernix> lol kidding, hey :)
[00:53] <M3CH3NGR> :p you had me going there for a min
[00:54] <koko-man> hi
[00:54] <M3CH3NGR> I'm very green(n00b-ish) when it comes to the IRC thing
[00:54] <koko-man> hi
[00:55] <koko-man> an other hi
[00:55] <koko-man> so
[00:55] <M3CH3NGR> but long story short, I'm a recent convert from Win and the switch went well, but after I installed VMware on my kubuntu 12.04 PC, I couldn't [re]mount my cdrom
[00:55] <koko-man> by
[00:56] <M3CH3NGR> I think vmware had control of it when it shut down and now neither vmware or kubuntu can mount it
[00:57] <M3CH3NGR> (btw sorry, I completely didn't think about the all caps thing when I made the alias. won't do that again)
[00:58] <Reindeernix> Well you dn't have to change it but if you want you can do it by saying /nick yournickname
[01:00] <m3ch3ngr> nifty, thks. I've tried a few mount commands and even looked in the fstab file, but once I'm in the fstab file I don't know what I'm looking at, can you assist me?
[01:00] <em> is there some reason that I should *not* install ia32-libs on my 64 bit machine?  Anyone know about this 'multiarch' thing?
[01:00] <em> hello?
[01:01] <em> i was just testing Reindeernix bot
[01:01] <Reindeernix> I'm a living person >.<
[01:02] <em> okay i see
[01:02] <Reindeernix> If you people are being sarcastic  them you are good at it

[01:18] <Adarc> guys, i have a serious problem. i plugged in my logitech g35 headset (usb), and set in the phonon kde settings g35 as nr.1 everywhere. now sound plays through my headset instead of laptop speakers, even microphone is fine. BUT firefox still uses laptop speakers (flash video and html5 video)
[01:19] <Adarc> anybody knows where i can look at to find the problem?
[01:24] <k4ever_> hi all.  is there a way to start kde without phonon?  phonon is crashing my system..
[01:26] <linuxdude> hello
[03:10] <naryfa> Hi, does anybody know how to add IRC to Kopete?
[03:12] <naryfa> I searched Google and I only found some plugin that doesn't exist anymore
[03:12] <naryfa> that's a bummer :)
[03:15] <c_smith> does Kubuntu 12.04 use Pulse?
[03:15] <naryfa> I don't think anybody is around
[03:15] <naryfa> but I think it uses phonon
[03:16] <Phiscribe> naryfa i think they have pulled irc from kopete around kde 4.1, dunno why
[03:16] <c_smith> no, I mean for drivers. does it use ALSA + Pulse or just ALSA?
[03:16] <Unit193> pulse is installed by default.
[03:16] <naryfa> Phiscribe: booooo, and there is no other way you would know of?
[03:16] <c_smith> I'm not talking phonon, that runs on top of it.
[03:16] <c_smith> Unit193, is it activated?
[03:17] <Phiscribe> well, in my kubuntu, half the pulse stuff doesnt work, like mixers, i have to use alsamixer to get sound to unmute
[03:17] <naryfa> I had that issue on my custom built desktop
[03:17] <c_smith> Phiscribe, I have issues with Pulse in ffmpeg.
[03:19] <c_smith> in ffmpeg I would be testing some commands to record my desktop, if I use pulse on top of ALSA, I'd hear nothing, if I just used ALSA, I'd have sound, and that is the repo versions. thinking about installing them for ease as the git versions are being a headache.
[03:19] <Phiscribe> dont know of a way to get the irc prot back into kopete
[03:19] <naryfa> Does anybody here use Quassel?
[03:20] <naryfa> I'd like to know if it's possible to hide join/part messages
[03:23] <Phiscribe> eh im booted into windows atm, or id look
[03:23] <Phiscribe> but i think its under buffer or something
[03:24] <Phiscribe> and Hide events
[03:26] <naryfa> hmmm
[03:30] <naryfa> I can't find it, what's message redirection?
[03:33] <naryfa> Nope, can't find this
[03:33] <Phiscribe> like a notice that goes to one window cant be sent to another like server notices or something, give me a min ill go in other run with kde running
[03:35] <naryfa> ok
[03:42] <phi_scribe> hey who was asking about quassel hide joins, right click in the chat area  and get a hide events menu
[03:42] <naryfa> me
[03:43] <naryfa> awesome, thank you
[03:43] <phi_scribe> find it?
[03:43] <naryfa> yes
[03:43] <phi_scribe> cool
[03:43] <naryfa> I appreciate it
[03:43] <naryfa> hooray
[03:43] <naryfa> :)
[03:44] <naryfa> now the chat is clean
[03:44] <naryfa> I just started using KDE today
[03:44] <phi_scribe> its my favorite sexier than the rest
[03:45] <naryfa> I'm suffering desktop-environment-battle-fatigue after  Gnome, LXDE, and XFCE
[03:46] <Phiscribe> been in that battle, now im at peace, kde for good machines desktop, lxde for the older ones, icewm for the ancient ones
[03:47] <naryfa> my laptop is 6 years old, it is still capable of running kubuntu fairly smooth
[03:47] <naryfa> only 2gigs of RAM
[03:48] <naryfa> well, 6 years ago it wasn't "only" lol
[03:48] <Phiscribe> eh i said good and didnt mention age lol, i got a PII i still run
[03:49] <Phiscribe> no quad core, two dual cores and two single cores, (well three with the pii)
[03:50] <naryfa> what's its speed?
[03:50] <naryfa> and what can you do on it?
[03:51] <Phiscribe> the pii? 467mhz or something, stream audio, internet radio, light browsing, (no flash) picture display, that kinda thing
[03:51] <Phiscribe> use it for testing sometimes
[03:51] <naryfa> Quite nice
[03:51] <TheMiner> If using a P2 I would suggest running Puppy instead
[03:52] <Phiscribe> oh its not got a buntu on it i has anitx
[03:52] <naryfa> antix?
[03:52] <Phiscribe> its a distro
[03:53] <naryfa> the one from mepis?
[03:53] <Phiscribe> oh yeah mpeis based lol forgot
[03:53] <Phiscribe> 3 kubuntus 2 lubuntus 1 antix (forgot about the one upstaris)
[03:54] <Phiscribe> i got a ex wife and three kids that show up an all wanna facebook someplace
[03:54] <TheMiner> 1 Kubuntu, 1 Slack, 2 FreeBSD
[03:55] <naryfa> is there anything you can't do on FreeBSD?
[03:55] <TheMiner> Nope
[03:55] <naryfa> How about driver support?
[03:55] <TheMiner> FreeBSD is rock solid stable and the portage tree is excellent
[03:56] <TheMiner> Pretty good
[03:56] <TheMiner> had a few minor hiccups with an atheros wireless adapter sometime back
[03:56] <Phiscribe> ive never tried bsd, have meant too, but man i dont need another thing to tinker with
[03:56] <TheMiner> nothing a little rewrite on my end didnt fix
[03:56] <TheMiner> It is hard to put BSD down once you have started running it
[03:57] <Phiscribe> i wont be enticed! i got too much on my plate now lol
[03:57] <naryfa> Yeah, I find myself in the same den. Too much tinkering, and I can't use the system for anything productive.
[03:59] <naryfa> Do you experience many crashes in Kubuntu?
[03:59] <Phiscribe> you a coal miner TheMiner?
[03:59] <naryfa> Executable: amarok PID: 2052 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)
[04:00] <TheMiner> Potash
[04:00] <TheMiner> Well I work at a potash mine
[04:00] <Phiscribe> ah, salty type, i live here in the coal fields
[04:01] <TheMiner> My day is spent programming PLC's and automating more and more of the mine
[04:01] <TheMiner> Am part of a mine rescue team and have been in a few coal mines
[04:02] <Phiscribe> sounds great
[04:02] <TheMiner> It's not a bad job
[04:02] <TheMiner> Am currently implementing an RFID tracking system for all underground personell
[04:02] <TheMiner> In the even of an emergency the system will be able to show the last known whereabouts of the miners
[04:03] <Phiscribe> thats  good idea
[04:03] <TheMiner> much easier to find them and get them out
[04:03] <Phiscribe> a
[04:03] <naryfa> and track their every move
[04:03] <TheMiner> that is exactly what they say
[04:03] <TheMiner> lol
[04:03] <TheMiner> and I am quite sure that the mine bosses will be doing exactly that
[04:03] <TheMiner> I can easily see how it can be used as a productivity tool
[04:04] <Phiscribe> about a year a go i live a county over and one of the nearby mines had an explosion, 38 died
[04:04] <TheMiner> We have already placed ip cameras in various places around the mine
[04:04] <TheMiner> Upper Big Branch coal mine
[04:04] <Phiscribe> yeah
[04:04] <TheMiner> 2008
[04:04] <Phiscribe> no 2010 i think
[04:04] <TheMiner> Very rough
[04:04] <TheMiner> yeah you are right
[04:05] <naryfa> Ok, sorry to interrupt, another quirk that's bugging me. The panel transparency level, is it possible to make it solid?
[04:05] <Phiscribe> which panel?
[04:05] <naryfa> the bottom one.... "taskbar"
[04:08] <phi_scribe> well, not sure thats part of the theme i think, might be theme specific im looking
[04:11] <phi_scribe> i think you might have to change the theme altogether or disable it globably
[04:11] <naryfa> yeah with all the animations, right?
[04:11] <phi_scribe> its the workspace theme in system settings
[04:12] <naryfa> ok,
[04:12] <naryfa> thanks
[04:13] <phi_scribe> sorry not up to speed on that one, i leave it trans
[04:14] <naryfa> and you can read it clearly?
[04:14] <Phiscribe> mostly, its a dark theme
[04:17] <naryfa> Ok, I messed something up, animations are taking 100% cpu, I have to restart. BRB
[04:22] <naryfa> Do you get application crashes often?
[04:22] <Phiscribe> well
[04:23] <Phiscribe> on the system i clean installed 12.04 not much but the one i upgraded from 11.10 yeah some
[04:23] <Phiscribe> bugs, mostly that im awaare of now and avoid, waiting on fix
[04:23] <Phiscribe> like the preview option in dolphis is buggy
[04:24] <Phiscribe> dolphin
[04:25] <naryfa> something got messed up really badly just now, my every window move or animation generates 100% cpu
[04:25] <Phiscribe> what did you turn on? lol
[04:25] <Phiscribe> turn it off!
[04:25] <Phiscribe> which process is it
[04:26] <naryfa> let me see
[04:26] <phi_scribe> use system monitor
[04:26] <phi_scribe> sort by cpu
[04:26] <naryfa> kwin
[04:28] <naryfa> OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past.
[04:28] <naryfa> This was most likely due to a driver bug.
[04:28] <Phiscribe> i think my mouse died in the other room
[04:29] <Phiscribe> did you change any desktop effects
[04:29] <naryfa> yeah
[04:29] <naryfa> and it messed everything up
[04:30] <naryfa> it seems to be ok now I think
[04:30] <naryfa> I reenabled openGL
[04:30] <naryfa> I'll watch it
[04:31] <naryfa> I'm really tired of bugs
[04:31] <naryfa> REALLy
[04:31] <naryfa> Y
[04:34] <phi_scribe> yeah sorry you got a bad experience, im mostly over the bug  hurdle in 12.04
[04:36] <naryfa> You talk like you went through some crazy stuff too
[04:37] <Phiscribe> oh yeah 12.04 had nastiness when it came out at first, external drives spining all the time, processes eating cpu, the /var/run locations changed and some apps didnt know it
[04:38] <naryfa> oh man
[04:44] <naryfa> Ok, this is nicer, I changed the theme to air for netbooks
[04:46] <naryfa> are you still around?
[04:49] <naryfa> Ok, I'm out, time to get some sleep
[04:49] <naryfa> Thanks for your help today.
[04:49] <naryfa> Have a good night.
[05:14] <em> Is there any thing wrong with using firefox in kubuntu rather than rekonq?

[05:16] <mah454> How can customize default KDE for all users ?
[05:16] <Phiscribe> kde can give gtk app the kde look and feel
[05:49] <skreech__> em: No use whatever works
[05:49] <skreech__> mah454: /etc/skel
[05:50] <mah454> skreech__: what file must copy on this folder ?
[05:54] <Daskreech> mah454: The file that you want ?
[05:54] <mah454> Daskreech: I need change default KDE settings for all users
[05:54] <mah454> How can do this ?
[05:54] <Daskreech> mah454: I don't understand the question
[05:55] <mah454> Daskreech: what part ?
[05:55] <Daskreech> the folder /etc/skel gets copied to any new user you create
[05:55] <mah454> Daskreech: view ...
[05:55] <Daskreech> So if you want certain settings just set them up then copy them to /etc/skel
[05:55] <Daskreech> when a new user gets made they get all the settings from that directory
[05:56] <Daskreech> So to answer your question. The file that you want
[05:56] <mah454> Daskreech: ok , what files must be in /etc/skel ?
[05:57] <Daskreech> mah454: no files need to be in there
[05:57] <mah454> Daskreech: view ...
[05:57] <Daskreech> when you create a new user the files they get in ~ are from /etc/skel
[05:57] <mah454> Daskreech: I need change default KDE settings , (for remastering Kubuntu (New distro))
[05:57] <mah454> ok ?
[05:57] <Daskreech> Since they are config files they are all hidden fiels mostly
[05:57] <Daskreech> files
[05:58] <Daskreech> But just change the config files from a user you have already and copy them (without user info) into /etc/skel
[05:58] <mah454> this : .local , .kde , .config , .... ?
[05:58] <Daskreech> Right
[05:58] <mah454> ok
[05:59] <Daskreech> which ever ones you want
[05:59] <Daskreech> so if you only really care about the plasma settings you can copy the .kde/share/apps and .kde/share/config files for plasma
[06:00] <Daskreech> They will get copied over and then when KDE starts the first time it will take those settings for plasma and make default settings for everything else
[06:00] <Daskreech> same for any other application
[06:00] <mah454> Daskreech: I copy this folders in /etc/skel , but not copy to new user $HOME !
[06:00] <Daskreech> mah454: They should
[06:00] <mah454> sorry for bad english !
[06:01] <mah454> okey , I go to test ....
[06:02] <Daskreech> mah454: Ah right. Yes putting them in /etc/skel will copy  them to a new user $HOME
[07:10] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:44] <kaddi> hi guys
[07:45] <kaddi> i accidentally klicked ignore on the kdewallet prompt when I was firing up kopete and now kopete won't let me connect my IM profiles. How can I manually start kdewallet so that it will let kopete access the stored password information?
[07:45] <kaddi> i can't reboot atm (important task running for the next 3-4h) and have already tried restarting kopete
[07:48] <lordievader> Hey kaddi, try the "KDE wallet" program or the "Kwalletmanger"
[07:49] <kaddi> hmm, mebbe the problem is bigger then >.< there's a kdewallet in there, but it seems empty
[07:49] <kaddi> it also hasn't prompted me for my password
[07:50] <lordievader> kaddi: Check out the "Access control" within the KDE wallet program, I guess/hope you can change something there.
[07:51] <kaddi> kopete is set to "always allow"
[07:53] <lordievader> kaddi: In the kwalletmanager do you have an entry for Kopete?
[07:53] <kaddi> well, i have under access control, but not in the wallet itself. the wallet itself seems completely empty
[07:54] <lordievader> kaddi: That is strange is the wallet enabled?
[07:54] <kaddi> how do I check that?
[07:55] <kaddi> i guess it's not enabled and that's the whole problem (or I hope it is)
[07:56] <lordievader> kaddi: You can see if it is enabled in the tab next to Access Control, its called Wallet Preferences
[07:59] <kaddi> well i have a check nedt to enable kde wallet
[08:00] <lordievader> kaddi: So it is enabled? What is set as the default wallet?
[08:00] <kaddi> kdewallet
[08:01] <lordievader> kaddi: Hmm it should work then, you could try to create a new wallet.
[08:08] <nafg_> Is there a gnucash built with SQLite support?
[08:14] <quan_> what`s this?
[08:14] <kaddi> a support channel
[08:15] <kaddi> lordievader: i got it to work by right-clicking the wallet and opening it and then restarting everything a number of times >.>
[08:21] <lordievader> kaddi: Ok, good to hear that it works now :)
[09:42] <blackdiamond> hi gud aft to all,

[10:14] <arianna> hi, i've a problem with wine, i can't install it...
[10:14] <lordievader> arianna: Hey, how are you? How did you try to install wine?
[10:14] <arianna> when i select wine package aptitude propose just 1 solution which deselect wine..
[10:14] <arianna> my current arch is amd64
[10:15] <arianna> lordievader: fine thanks ^^
[10:15] <lordievader> arianna: Try using apt-get, aptitude is kind of outdated. "sudo apt-get install wine"
[10:16] <arianna> lordievader: you're right o.0
[10:17] <arianna> why is aptitude outdated?
[10:17] <lordievader> arianna: Not sure, but that is what I hear from other people, never used it myself actually.
[10:18] <arianna> lordievader: thank you for your help, have a nice day ^^
[10:18] <lordievader> arianna: Same to you.
[10:37] <reindeer> Q: Muon-updater, how to re-enable an update that has been "set to hold" (purged?), blender SVN in this case.. Help anyone?
[10:38] <lordievader> reindeer: Do you mean you locked the version of blender?
[10:38] <reindeer> i guess so..
[10:39] <lordievader> reindeer: Try Synaptic, imo a much better package manager than muon.
[10:41] <lordievader> reindeer: Then use the menu "package" to lock and unlock the versions.
[10:41] <reindeer> ok, i look if i missed that
[10:42] <reindeer> can see any menu  with "package" label
[10:42] <lordievader> reindeer: This is in Synaptic not Muon.
[10:42] <reindeer> oh well..
[10:43] <lordievader> reindeer: To install Synaptic issue the command: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[10:43] <reindeer> i kinda though if there is an option to lock, there must be one for unlock too
[10:44] <reindeer> and i remember i just mouseclicked it to not update,because those svn updates come allmost daily..
[10:44] <lordievader> reindeer: There probably is, but I would not know where it would be in Muon.
[10:44] <reindeer> ok, its kinda strange its not in plain sight..
[10:49] <reindeer> so to switch to synaptic, how to do the switch without mixing up my system?
[10:50] <lordievader> reindeer: Just installing it should do no harm, to do so open a terminal (Konsole) and type: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[10:51] <reindeer> yeah, i was thinking of how to make it the default on my system
[10:51] <lordievader> reindeer: What do you mean exactly?
[10:52] <reindeer> to make it the defaul updater, update packages, distr-updates, the whoel nine yards
[10:54] <lordievader> reindeer: Not sure if synaptic can do notifations, you should google that. However you can disable the notifications from Muon somewhere in it's settings.
[10:56] <reindeer> ok, thanks. That  "somewhere" is also my feeling, just havent really seen it, been looking though and even "muon help" in menu is unavailable
[10:57] <lordievader> reindeer: One of the reasons I dont use muon ;)
[11:00] <reindeer> hmm, looks like i hit a wall here. all i wanted was to (possibly) update blender, so that the "logicbricks after And10 are all duplicates" issue could be fixed, not today i guess then..
[11:01] <reindeer> the issue is not official bug name so dont google.. :)
[11:55] <BluesKaj> hiyas all

[12:11] <nag_> BluesKaj: So i killed the process and started. here i'm unable to write anything on it
[12:12] <BluesKaj> nag_, have you updated/upgraded since installing it , then if it's still hanging , run it from the terminal to see what errors it puts out
[12:13] <Smurphy> Just tried loading kjots - won't work... Can't open a new Book ...
[12:14] <nag_> BluesKaj: Ya i did that. i didnt c any error when i'm run it from terminal. It simply opens that application. Unable to write
[12:14] <nag_> Smurphy: yes can't able to open a new book & new page
[12:16] <nag_> BluesKaj: Smurphy: i have completly removed "dpkg --purge kjots" & restalled it. even that wont helpfull
[12:17] <BluesKaj> I have to reboot ...brb
[12:20] <Smurphy> nag_: ack ...
[12:20] <Smurphy> same here. Just testing on my other system which gets all point releases.

[12:28] <Smurphy> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_main_i18n_Translation-en
[12:29] <Smurphy> Seems an update process didn't run correctly. Will try again later :)
[12:29] <nag_> Smurphy:  my system is updated one
[12:30] <nag_> Smurphy: Should we need to restart our system for this application once we installed
[12:32] <Smurphy> no. Under linux - the only times you need to reboot the system is in case of a kernel update, or if the init-daemon can't reload itself (libraries).
[12:33] <nag_> k
[12:33] <Smurphy> If Kubuntu needs rebooting - it will tell you ;)
[12:33] <BluesKaj> Smurphy, or something like reloading alsa after sound card/driver installs
[12:33] <Smurphy> even if they reboot too often for my taste :)
[12:34] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: Nope. I remove all drivers and add them back again after manually
[12:34] <Smurphy> :}
[12:34] <BluesKaj> that's reather drastic ...why the fear of rebooting ?
[12:34] <BluesKaj> Smurphy,^
[12:35] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: Why _should_ I reboot ?
[12:35] <Smurphy> :}
[12:35]  * BluesKaj shrugs , nm
[12:37] <BluesKaj> well i have to boot into the other drive ...bbl
[12:42] <nag_> Smurphy: hey is it working on ur dell
[12:42] <nag_> kjots
[12:47] <Smurphy> nag_: I think I found out what the issue is ...
[12:47] <Smurphy> yup. I found out what is wrong.
[12:47] <nag_> Smurphy: oh its gud to hear ... what is that
[12:47] <nag_> Smurphy: P(
[12:47] <nag_> Smurphy: :(
[12:48] <Smurphy> Go to System Settings -> Personal Information
[12:48] <Smurphy> In there - you'll have the serveral entries with Notes etc. broken entries.
[12:48] <Smurphy> I took the "Local Notes" entry and made sure it pointed to an existing directory.
[12:48] <Smurphy> Then it became a "Ready" state - and now I can work with it :)
[12:50] <nag_> how did u do that. i mean pointed to the dir
[12:52] <Smurphy> Click on the row with "Local Notes" - and click on Modify (Right top side)
[12:52] <nag_> k
[12:52] <nag_> after that
[12:53] <Smurphy> If the directory exists - you save it. The "Local Notes" entry should go to the ready state.
[12:53] <nag_> this is the entry "local"
[12:53] <nag_> this is the entry "/home/nag/.local/share//notes/MmQRT8qyAD"
[12:53] <Smurphy> Whatever. You need it to point to a local Directory.
[12:53] <Smurphy> Yes - that is fine.
[12:56] <nag_> Smurphy: its working for new page, but new book its not working
[13:01] <Smurphy> Click on Notes -> the you can add a book.
[13:09] <nag_> Smurphy: thnx man its working... :)
[13:10] <BluesKaj> !cookie | Smurphy
[13:16] <Smurphy> lol ...
[13:16] <Smurphy> :}
[13:36] <nag_> BluesKaj: can i open a private channel
[14:24] <dcorbin_work> With a recent re-install, my tray has an icon on the left edge that I don't recognize 3 small spheres, red, blue and green.  What is it?
[14:24] <dcorbin_work> It seems to be called "Activities", but what IS it?
[14:26] <lordievader> dcorbin_work: Let's see if I can find that video explaining activities.
[14:27] <lordievader> dcorbin_work: Yes, I think it was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRJJ4tG4lFQ
[14:30] <dcorbin_work> lordievader: thanks
[14:37] <Daskreech> dcorbin_work: ot
[14:37] <Daskreech> its   the Plasma concpet of tying together a number of things you are doing that are connected to each other into a single space
[14:38] <slestak_work> anyone using Search and Launch on a netbook with 12.04?
[14:39] <slestak_work> Is it possible to edit the apps that show below the search box?
[14:39] <slestak_work> nevermind, found it
[14:50] <dcorbin_work> I watched the video, and I googled a few articles.  For me, it's another layer on top of virtual desktops that offers little more.  I'm a very light user of virtual desktops.  Activities seems to add a bit more dynamic-ness and less geography to it, but I doesn't really seem helpful.  (Just an observation)
[14:53] <Riddell> dcorbin_work: just ignore it then and remove the applet
[14:53] <dcorbin_work> I probably will.
[15:44] <Riddell> alpha 3 candidates images for the testing!
[15:44] <Riddell> anyone who wants to help welcome in #kubuntu-devel
[16:00] <em> dcorbin_work: how are you supposed to use the activities thing? I don't get it.
[16:03] <Daskreech> em: It's a grouping of your tasks and applications
[16:03] <Daskreech> Think of it as saved sessions
[16:14] <em> Daskreech: could be useful if you got used to it
[16:27] <Daskreech> em: Yes it can
[16:38] <waterpie> hi all

[17:33] <lordievader> Good evening
[17:38] <DarthFrog> Ah, the global nature of the Internet.  It's 10:39 AM here on the left coast of North America. :-)  So, good morning to you.
[17:39] <lordievader> DarthFrog: Lovely thing, ain't it :)
[17:48] <mydogsnameisrudy> DarthFrog:  left coast ? is that east or west
[17:52] <DarthFrog> west.  I'm in BC.

[22:51] <BarkingFish> Evening all - is there any way whatsoever that I can stop sudo keep asking me for my password when I want to do stuff please?  I know I should use sudo to do things, but half the time I can't be bothered, I just run as SU so that I can get things done without being bugged for my password everytime.
[22:52] <Quintasan> BarkingFish: I think there was a PolicyKit KCM that allowed you to change what operations needed you to provide password however I have next to no idea what happened to it
[22:53] <BarkingFish> Damn.  Would that be something I'd need to consult KDE over?
[22:54] <Quintasan> BarkingFish: You can try that however I'm not sure if they have something to do with this
[22:55] <Quintasan> Might as well ask over in PolicyKit
[22:56] <genii-around> BarkingFish:Maybe something like %admin ALL=NOPASSWD  for the sudoers file
[22:56] <BarkingFish> well if it was a KCM, I'm sure they'd know if it's included in KDE now or not :)
[22:58] <BarkingFish> ok
[22:58] <Linkmaster> BarkingFish: couldn't you technically make the 'root' account? such that you wouldn't have to use sudo anymore
[22:58] <BarkingFish> Linkmaster, officially, we are recommended not to work in root
[22:59]  * genii-around hands BarkingFish a cookie for being good
[22:59] <Linkmaster> Ahh, for devel stuff, hmm..
[22:59] <BarkingFish> and we're instructed not to teach anyone else how to make a root account.  I would rather practise what I'm supposed to preach to people, even though I disagree with it.
[22:59]  * Linkmaster nods
[22:59] <Linkmaster> thats a good practice
[22:59] <BarkingFish> If people know what they're doing, they should be allowed to use a root account if they wish
[23:00] <Linkmaster> I was just wondering aloud, thats what I'd personally do if I got tired of all the 'sudoing' =P And if I'm doing a lot of heavy sudo work, I just do 'sudo -i', and I'll be fine till I log out of that
[23:00] <BarkingFish> I've been on linux for approaching 12 years, going way back to Mandrake 8.2 or something silly.  But if I'm teaching it, I need to be doing it.
[23:01] <BarkingFish> I only work in root because I get fed up of sudo asking me for my password everytime I want to do something simple, like reload a module or something.
[23:02] <Linkmaster> thats why I use 'sudo -i'
[23:02]  * Linkmaster doesn't know if thats a bad practice or not
[23:02] <BarkingFish> there used to be a list of people who could use sudo and you could set a no password option in it, I can't remember how to write the file though, and how to change the options in it
[23:03] <BarkingFish> i think it was something like /etc/sudoers or something
[23:03] <Linkmaster> You can change that in the system settings, that I do know
[23:04] <SeH> hella
[23:04] <SeH> i wanna to add new keyboard layouts in kubuntu
[23:04] <SeH> howto
[23:06] <BarkingFish> SeH, if you press ALT + F2, and type systemsettings in the box which pops up, hit enter and go to Input devices
[23:07] <BarkingFish> when you get there, click Keyboard and then hit the Layouts tab, that should give you options in there
[23:07] <BarkingFish> you can add new layouts from within that part of the setup
[23:10] <SeH> brakingfish; I cant see layouts in keyboard sttings
[23:10] <SeH> barkingfish ²
[23:12] <BarkingFish> there should be a setting there for it.
[23:13] <BarkingFish> There should be, under Keyboard, 3 or 4 tabs in the right side of the screen, one of them should be Layouts
[23:13] <BarkingFish> Which version of Kubuntu are you using please?
[23:14] <SeH> Barkingfich; kubuntu 12.04
[23:14] <SeH> there is 3 tabs
[23:15] <SeH> material; dispositions; advanced
[23:18] <SeH> barkingfish, ping
[23:19] <BarkingFish> Are you in the same place as I am?
[23:19] <BarkingFish> Is your system localised in English?
[23:21] <SeH> no in french, but I am in the input device (périphérique d entrée)
[23:21] <BarkingFish> Let's just make sure you're in absolutely the right place.  - You should have system settings open:  Click "Input Devices" in the Hardware section, then click on the Keyboard button in the left hand bar.  Three tabs should appear on the right side, Hardware  Layouts   Advanced
[23:21] <BarkingFish> It should then be the center tab of those three which you need
[23:22] <SeH> BarkingFish; Okayy thanks I find it :)
[23:22] <SeH> its (dispositions) layouts
[23:22] <BarkingFish> Excellent
[23:23] <BarkingFish> What you need to do, you might need to install full language support so that you have access to other keyboard layouts also - if you find that the one you want is not supported
[23:25] <SeH> aha Ok thankyou Barkingfish
[23:25] <BarkingFish> if you want to do that, quickly, SeH - go back to the main menu of system settings, and click "Locale"
[23:26] <BarkingFish> then click System languages, and you will get told if you have full language support or not, and if not, you will be given the option to install the language support at that moment
[23:27] <SeH> yes the blue flag; I ll add the new language from it (i think its done); BarkingFish
[23:28] <BarkingFish> ok :)
