uglyoldbobso im having a problem booting my uefi computer after updating the bios05:38
uglyoldbobi can still get the kubuntu installation disc to boot05:41
kaxmxuglyoldbob, is it hte kubuntu install disc or just booting off a CD in general05:53
kaxmx?05:53
uglyoldbobi got it fixed. here's what I did: I booted from the kubuntu install disc, selected restore the system, got a shell on the system root (/dev/sda2 for me), mounted /dev/sda1 (the efi stuff), and did apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd6405:54

livingdaylightsuch a shame kubuntu is being orphaned12:53
livingdaylightshame on you canonical/shuttleworth  :D12:54
livingdaylighthola Daskreech12:54
BluesKajlivingdaylight:  it may not be such a bad thing . considering what canonical's done to ubuntu desktops12:56
livingdaylightin Ubuntu software center offers to install .deb packages. How does it work in kubuntu? right-click doesn't offer Muon to deal with it, do we do it the old-fashined way, what was it? sudo dpkg -i <packagename.deb>  ?12:57
livingdaylightBluesKaj: jajajajaa12:57
livingdaylightBluesKaj: now, I hadn't thought of it that way, lol12:58
BluesKajmuon has the same options as any package manager livingdaylight12:59
livingdaylightI'm only in kubuntu coz of Unity not functioning to my liking, do still find it kde ugly, but at least it works :)12:59
* livingdaylight hides12:59
jdrsWhat were you using before?12:59
livingdaylightUbuntu12:59
jdrsNo, I mean the DE.12:59
livingdaylightubuntu=unity12:59
Riddelllivingdaylight: kubuntu isn't being orphaned13:00
livingdaylightjdrs: ? you mean Gnome?13:00
jdrsyes13:00
jdrsYou can always install gnome-shell if you don't like unity13:00
BluesKajyou can dress up kde much more thanthe ubuntu desktops IMO , you just have to do a little work13:00
livingdaylightyes, Ubuntu as it used to be, i.e. Gnome13:00
pozicI have konsole open and then execute gnome-terminal, but gnome-terminal is not displayed above konsole then. Why not?13:01
pozicIt's as if I need to give manual focus to the window to get it to be on top.13:01
livingdaylightjdrs: I gave Deepin a whirl but didn't enjoy my gnome-shell experience, windows kept popping open from the side13:01
BluesKajpozic:  ask in #ubuntu13:02
Sentynellivingdaylight: the default GUI package installer in Kubuntu is the QApt Package Installer, which should be automatically associated with .deb files13:02
livingdaylightSentynel: so, why when right-clicking the .deb file am I not offered options to install it?13:03
BluesKajSentynel:  that's a given on any 'buntu system13:03
Sentynellivingdaylight: it's under open with, or just left click it13:03
SentynelBluesKaj: QApt is Kubuntu specific13:04
livingdaylightSentynel: must have missed it. Anyway, sudo dpkg -i <packagename.deb> seems to have worked13:04
BluesKajSentynel:  and debs arent ?13:04
pozicBluesKaj: why?13:05
SentynelBluesKaj: he was asking about installing .debs in Kubuntu...13:05
BluesKajyou're asking a gnome question , pozic13:05
pozicBluesKaj: no, I am not.13:05
pozicBluesKaj: do you know anything about KDE at all?13:05
pozicBluesKaj: because, in fact, I have already solved it and it has _everything_ to do with KDE.13:06
pozicBluesKaj: which makes your comment all the more stupid.13:06
BluesKajpozic:  nice13:06
pozicBluesKaj: why do you respond to people when you don't know what you are talking about?13:06
livingdaylightSentynel: my bad, I do see it now13:06
=== nosrepa is now known as aperson
BluesKajpozic:  then why did you ask about a gnome app , if you're so knowledgable13:07
pozicBluesKaj: I used the word gnome-terminal.13:07
pozicBluesKaj: and it has nothing to do with gnome-terminal specifically.13:08
pozicBluesKaj: it's the same for many other applications.13:08
pozicBluesKaj: and in fact it has been discussed on a mailing list already where everyone agreed it was a KDE issue.13:08
pozicBluesKaj: and as such, I suggest you drop your ego and just acknowledge that you made a rather stupid reply.13:08
BluesKajok let's split hairs and fill the text with rhetoric and irrelavent comments13:09
pozicBluesKaj: split hairs? You said I had to go to #ubuntu.13:09
pozicBluesKaj: imagine that I was some poor loser without a brain.13:09
pozicBluesKaj: then I now would have been in #ubuntu and people telling me there would say I have to go to #kubuntu.13:09
pozicBluesKaj: please, don't say anything if you don't know what you are talking about.13:10
BluesKajpozic:  wow , you're easily insulted ,13:10
BluesKajbut you don't mind handing them out13:10
pozicBluesKaj: that's because I don't speak nonsense all day long.13:11
BluesKajpozic:  no , just here13:12
pozicBluesKaj: again, YOU are the only one who has communicated utter crap.13:12
pozicBluesKaj: YOU should apologize for your CRAPPY output.13:12
pozicBluesKaj: YOU should get rid of your EGO and ACK. you are WRONG>13:13
pozicBluesKaj: this is 'official Kubuntu support'.13:13
pozicBluesKaj: whoever is behind this should kick you in the nuts.13:13
pozicBluesKaj: because you are only spreading misinformation.13:14
livingdaylightI'm an advocate of free speech, but I think you've both aired your feelings now, no? common guys, we're all on the same team; if we're not there is enough room in the World without steppin on each other's toes13:14
pozicI think free speech is only useful for those who have anything to say.13:14

pozicYou are not entitled to communication just because you can type.13:15

jdrslol13:18
BluesKajthat's one angry bird :)13:22
BluesKajgot booted from ubuntu a while back as well iirc13:23
livingdaylightshame for one I also wondered what the remedy had been13:25
Sentynelmy guess would be the focus stealing protection settings13:26
jdrsMine was shrinking crazily. But found a workaround.13:27

livingdaylightI seem to have accidentally triggered a mouse gesture I was not aware of and instead of hitting the tab i was reaching for i opened u 4 workspaces compiz style. Anyone know about this. Can't seem to reproduce the guesture, though I try to recall it13:41
BluesKajbbl13:41
lordievaderlivingdaylight: Perhaps it is a binding to the screen corners, try to ram your mouse in the screen corners and see if something happens.13:43
livingdaylightlordievader: yes! yes, lol... nice one, I learnt something new :)13:44
lordievaderlivingdaylight: You can configure these bindings too, let me check for you where that was.13:45
livingdaylightthank you lordievader13:45
livingdaylightits not the first time its happened to me, but now I know. Could be useful it opens every application window on the screen, so one can navigate to it without having to go through the werkspaces aguess.13:46
