livingdaylightI changed themes, but haven't been able to change the default and imo ugly default kde-grey in all apps and configuration dialogs. Which setting is that? thanks07:55
livingdaylightAlso, does Dolphin have a preference tab? can only move things to wastebin right now, rahter than outright delete07:57
livingdaylightAlso, dragging and dropping folders into other folders a pop-up dialog asks if I wish to cope or move HERE. Is it possible to just have it move and drop the folder without further option-dialogs popping up? It adds an unnecessary step07:58

livingdaylightI changed theme in kubuntu but apps and configuration dialogs still have the default kde-grey background. Can those be changed?12:36
BluesKajlivingdaylight, yes , did you change the colour or the desktop window decoration ?12:39
livingdaylightBluesKaj, I changed the theme, which changed taskbar (panels) . No, didn't look at window decoration12:40
BluesKajlivingdaylight,the panel theme is the window decor as wel , the colour theme is what you want in system settings application appearance12:42

Daskreechdougl: Oh I was goign to tell you how to fix that when I got a call16:46
Daskreechit's a simple thing16:46
Daskreechhi livingdaylight16:46
livingdaylightaloha Daskreech16:46
douglDaskreech, and tried to reinstall cups again and got a message..."sudo apt-get install cups" = "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." so I did that and it hangs at the same message...16:47
Daskreechlivingdaylight: it has a modifier beside the names just press the key before you let go the mouse button16:48
douglsudo dpkg --configure -a = Setting up cups (1.5.3-0ubuntu2) ..., Updating PPD files for cups ... and Updating PPD files for ppd-updaters ... and it hangs16:48

douglDaskreech, this time I did ctrl+c and it quits but installing cups again makes it hang at same spot... "Updating PPD files for ppd-updaters ..."16:52
Daskreechdougl: ok leave it for a while. Just occurred to me the ppd configuring might take a while16:52
Daskreechdougl: In the meantime. .. Umm how's things?16:53
douglDaskreech, what can I say... it is linux => about as easy as a root canal and twice as fun!16:54
DaskreechHooray fun :)16:55
douglDaskreech, pisses me off tho... how hard is it to install a fekin printer... this is day 316:55
Daskreechdougl: Well if it's anything like mine It's probably samba. Works fine connected but something between Apple and Microsoft makes cups and samba hate each other16:56
douglDaskreech, I have it printing to both samba printers connected to my XP box from my notebook 12.04 install16:57
Daskreechdougl: yep same kind of issue here too.16:58
douglWTF16:58
Daskreechat least your cups stays up. Mine tries to print says it can't find the printer. Puts the job on hold, decides it needs to reboot, restarts the CUPS server then prints the job 4 hours later16:59
douglDaskreech, now that productivity...17:00
DaskreechYeah but I suspect it's cups. Apple owns it and recently announced they were going to put in changes that would make things work better for Apple products but might possibly screw up other UNIXes17:01
DaskreechSo it really likes Appletalk type protocols now17:01
douglDaskreech, New and improved then half the function disappears and the other half breaks everything else... that is a Microsoft approach17:02
Daskreechdougl: Well as I said basically run by Microsoft and Apple so \o/17:04
DaskreechSamba has good guys so I'm trying to see if I can get it sorted from that side17:04
Daskreech CUPS guys basically stopped talking to people even more than they did before once they all got hired by Apple17:04
douglDaskreech, that is too bad17:06
Daskreechdougl: I think it will get fixed but wish I knew what it was doing the logs are very opaque17:06
douglDaskreech, I dont get much out of cups logs either17:07
BluesKajI gave up on printers/cups after 11.10 .after that none of our HPs would print , from a basic 50buck printer up to a fancy all in one my daughter used on her mac ..none wilkl work on kubuntu anymore . I gave up trying to figure out what's wrong . Just transfer the file to wife's windows pc and she prints it for me17:08
douglBluesKaj, I think that is what I have to settle for now... but like I was saying to Daskreech - I am going backwards... 1st I got 2 images and double spaced, 2nd I got cups errors when trying to print test page and now cups does not even install.17:11
BluesKajit's adamn shame ..HP used to be linux friendly17:11
douglYeah but the print catridges are so much money.17:11
=== Sigma is now known as Guest85791
BluesKajwe just print in blck and white and grayscale at that17:12
BluesKajwe don't need to print fancy colours for nothing17:13
douglThat is not too bad... at least you arent throwing away un used ink in single multi colourd cartridge.17:13
douglUpdating PPD files for ppd-updaters ... still going = How long is this supposed to take?17:14
BluesKajyeah I tried the ppd file route too , but they failed too ..think there's some communication problem between the pc and the printer even with the right drivers17:15
DaskreechBluesKaj: Well they started openprinting.org to take back control of the printing stack.17:16
BluesKajllke Daskreech , said the jobs queue just sits athere and does nothing , and don't have patience to wait for hrs17:17
DaskreechBluesKaj: I have it slightly worse I'm trying to get this working for a business printing receipts for customers17:18
BluesKajlexmark is the worst brand for linux , but really works well on windows 717:18
BluesKajDaskreech, not good :(17:19
DaskreechI know :-(17:19
QazaxPrinting in general is crap. There should be a generic printing driver, like the default VGA driver17:19
Daskreechwell lexmark recently committed to opening all their drivers to get them working on linux17:19
douglmy samsung is doing the exact same thing my lexmard did 10 years aga... that is why I changed to HP then Epson and now samsung17:19
douglago17:20
DaskreechQazax: should be but doubtful the printing industry would ever do that. They make a lot of money on drivers17:20
DaskreechSamsung actualyl has a linux printer page17:20
DaskreechI was impressed with that :)17:20
QazaxDaskreech: Yup, not thinking what is best for the customers and more what is best for their pockets :(17:20
BluesKajdask  I havent seen one for the Lexmark  X5470 , but I understand their driver support for business class printing is actually very good in linux17:21
DaskreechQazax: They are legally obligated to do that.17:21
BluesKajDaskreech,^17:21
Daskreechdpending on the situation they can be charged for thinking in terms of the consumer17:21

douglDaskreech, konsole is stuck again... any suggestions?17:25
DaskreechYeah a lot more companies are rolling out on Linux and some are even starting on Linux and then porting to Windows so things are looking up17:26
Daskreechdougl: Wish I knew which process was doing the ppd configuring17:26
DaskreechPart of the point of CUPs  (and X ) is that you are not supposed to install it yourself. cause it's a pain17:28

douglDaskreech, ?17:28
Daskreechit's configuring the printer-driver-gutenprint package17:30
douglDaskreech, that is the thing... it has been running for about 35 minutes... I did a dist-upgrade on a slower machine - Can you tell it is doing something for sure or is it hung saying it is doing something?17:31
Daskreechdougl: I think the issue is the --reinstall I did it's configuring everything from scratch17:32
Daskreechand upgrade will only replce parts that changed17:32
Daskreechthe --reinstall wipes everything and starts over. CUPS is kinda big17:32
douglDaskreech, ok - but this is a "sudo apt-get install cups"17:33
douglnot the reintall that I was tryihng befor I rebooted.17:33
Daskreechdougl: yes but it already did a wipe so it's picking up from where that left off17:33
douglDaskreech, I trust you... so I will let it go while I go for coffee - If need be you'll have to do the "there there" for moral support again - LOL17:35

dougllivingdaylight, I like the channel and ppl here :)17:38
livingdaylightdougl, tbh, its the people that have kept me in Kubuntu this far. KDE is not ''home'' for me, but slowly getting used to it.17:39
BluesKajlivingdaylight, did you login to pastebin and then upload the paste , because I'm not seeing anything17:40
DaskreechBluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/bygUYdVC17:40

Daskreechsmall thing17:43
livingdaylighthttp://clip2net.com/s/2b3pf17:43
BluesKaji'm really quite disappointed with printer support since last yr and I don't see much being done about it . Nothing's changed at al17:45
DaskreechBluesKaj: Yeah well people are amazed it's lasted this long17:47
livingdaylightover the years its got better, at least in Ubuntu, which I presume means Kubuntu also... but, its best to check which printers really DO work in GNU/Linux insttead of expecting any printer to work. I know that doesn't help if one already has one17:47
Daskreech Apple bought out the entire printer stack to prevent it from going to GPLv3 but up until just the past few months they have been really good about keeping it working for everyone17:47
DaskreechPart of the reasons why people do not want Microsoft to take over the bootloader now17:50
Daskreechwell I guess that would have been obvious regradless17:51
Daskreechregardless17:51
BluesKajlivingdaylight, oddly enough all the HP printers we have have driver support in kubuntu printer settings , but none of the printers work , all 3 start and then freeze , as if waiting for more instructions from the pc .17:51
livingdaylightGawd, its really WAR out there?17:51
livingdaylightBluesKaj, geez, sounds like its got worse then?17:51
BluesKajlivingdaylight, yes exactly17:52
livingdaylighttoday I read that collecting rainwater is illegal in the state of Oregon - madness-17:52
livingdaylightPrivate-for-profit companies think they can own the planet and fleece everyone on it to death17:53
DaskreechWell that's how the system is setup17:54
DaskreechWell except for Europe17:54
Daskreechthey are really hostile towards that17:54
Daskreechbut Asia is moving more to that companies run everything model as well17:55
livingdaylightI know this is getting off-topic, but people need to wake up about the increasing control put on their lives: http://www.naturalnews.com/036615_Oregon_rainwater_permaculture.html17:55

Key-Realis it possible to install kubuntu on a external usbhdd?  I'm new in linux.   I downloaded the CD and now I'm burning the image...18:22
BluesKajKey-Real, yes , you can , there can be issues with the bootloader depending on which OS you have on your main HDD.18:29
Key-Realwin718:30
douglDaskreech, ok, back now - still Updating PPD files for ppd-updaters ... been an hour and a half - lol18:31
douglGulp! help... sudo apt-get update = E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. = Errors were encountered while processing:  cups  printer-driver-gutenprint...18:38
BluesKajdougl, ok run , sudo dpkg --configure -a , it might work18:39
douglBluesKaj, thanks - did that and "Errors were encountered while processing:  cups  printer-driver-gutenprint" and back to command prompt18:40
BluesKajdougl, try , sudo apt-get install -f18:41
douglBluesKaj, same error while processing cups and printer-driver-gutenprint18:43
BluesKajKey-Real, ok , but make sure you install the grub bootloader , it may autoinstall depending on which kubuntu version you have.18:45
BluesKajdougl, try this , sudo dpkg --clear-avail18:46
Key-Realmom I try to erase the data on my usbhdd with partedmagic...18:46
douglBluesKaj, sudo dpkg --clear-avail was successfull no errors and return to command prompt18:48
BluesKajKey-Real, not necessary, the partitioning phase of the kubuntu install will ask you if you want to erase data18:48
Key-RealI had to view how big my usbhdd is18:49
BluesKajwell , dougl , it's hard to tell if it worked ..cups is probly still not installed properly , it just removed the broken packages that were blocking dpkg18:49
Key-RealIt is 1.36g18:49
Key-Realok, I'm starting kubuntu18:50
BluesKajKey-Real, 136G I hope18:51
Key-RealIt should be so setuped that I just plug the usbhdd to start lin and if not it should start win automaticly. is it possible?18:51
Key-Real136TB18:51
Key-Real:)18:51
Key-Real1.36TB18:51
BluesKajok , fine , Key-Real , if your pc is setup to boot from the cdrom first , like most are unless you changed the boot sequence in the BIOS.18:52
douglBluesKaj, still cannot sudo apt-get dist-upgrade = errors for cups and man-db18:52
Key-Realyes ofcause18:52
BluesKajthen your kubuntu live cd will boot first18:53
Key-RealI pressed "abort the installation" and I setuped the internet connection first18:54
BluesKajdougl, is cups the only app one can use for printer setups ?18:54
BluesKajdougl, I'm thinking there must alternatives18:55
BluesKajmust be18:55
douglBluesKaj, I am not even concerned with cups as much as getting my box back on track...18:55
douglI just want my Linux box back18:55
BluesKajdougl, have you tried the recovery kernel , choose "repair broken packages", it should clear them out18:57
Key-Realok, the it copy files18:57
douglBluesKaj, I have not tried that -> Do tell please?18:57
BluesKajKey-Real, why did choose abort the installation18:58
Key-Realto setup the internet first18:58
BluesKajdougl, reboot , choose the recovery kernel in the grub menu18:58
BluesKajno Key-Real it does that automatically18:59
douglBluesKaj, k... then repair broken packages?18:59
BluesKajdougl, yes a dialog will show up with options "repair..." will in the list18:59
BluesKajwill be18:59
Key-Realit has a red cross by have an internet connection19:00
BluesKajok then do it your way , Key-Real , I've never seen that before19:01
Key-Realit was a coincidence, I wannted to exit setup, it exits but started kubuntu kde? I looked at the wi-fi symbol it was red, I clicked, seted up the internet and startet setup again? than the symbol with the internet connection was not red, it was ok...19:05
Key-RealSo I can setup like that19:06
Key-Real:)19:06
BluesKajKey-Real, ok good19:06
Key-RealIt copyes files on the usbhdd now19:06
Key-Realit downloads language packages and stuff19:06
Key-Realgrub is a bootmanager?19:07
BluesKajyes19:07
Key-RealI heared of it as I had to do with aros19:07
Key-Realbut I not realy knew how to deal/configure it19:08
BluesKajgrub is actually a bootloader , it's run from the commandline , altho you can install a gui version for startup & shutdown in system settings , once you've finished installing kubuntu19:09
Key-Realah, ok19:10
BluesKajKey-Real, grub will auto install usually, but it might ask you if you want to install as I said earlier19:12
douglBluesKaj, it fixed it... dist-upgrade works again - thanks :)19:14
BluesKajdougl, cool , glad to hear it19:14

kzipHello!20:12
kzipI've installed Kubuntu 12.04 on a laptop after testing it out for some time in a virtual machine..,20:13
douglDaskreech, you here?20:13
kzipThe install went fine, and booted up, but the KDE desktop is very unresponsive20:14
Daskreechdougl: I think so20:14
kziplike something is talking almost all the CPU all the time20:14
DaskreechI think therfore I am?20:14
Daskreechkzip: Is something taking up all the CPU?20:14
* Daskreech bets on Nepomuk20:15
kzipI have to keep clicking on the K button in the CPU for any programs I run to get any time slices20:15
douglDaskreech,  http://localhost:631 -shows a printer but (cx5000) but no such file or directory when I try to print a test page.20:15
Daskreechdougl: So it is listed under printers?20:16
Daskreechkzip: press ctrl+Esc20:16
DaskreechYou should get a process manager.20:16
DaskreechSort by CPU% and see what's at the top20:16
kzipDaskreech: yes, kwin is taking up >24%, other procs20:16
kzipThis is from before - nothing appeared after pressing CTRL-ESC20:17
Daskreechkzip: kwin?20:17
Daskreechhmm20:17
Daskreechcan you press alt+shift+F12 and see if that helps?20:17
kzip(I'm chatting from another computer - my laptop is pretty much unusable currently)20:17
kzipCompiz isn't installed, so that shouldn't be an issue20:18
Daskreechkzip: Ah I don't suppose that you would have had installed ssh on it already?20:18
Daskreechkzip: kwin is a composititor so it can be an issue. Though I can't recall having anything that bad happen since KDE 4.5/4.620:18
douglDaskreech, there is a cx5000 listed.20:18
DaskreechIt's pretty good on detection20:18
Daskreechdougl: What's the connection it's using?20:18
douglDaskreech, smb://MSHOME/SEMPRON/CX500020:19
Daskreechdougl: Ah great can you press alt+F2 -> smb://MSHOME and press enter and see what that gets you?20:20
kzipDaskreech: that combo worked.  Sorting by CPUshows krunner & Xorg at the top, but only a few %, and now the system is responsive20:21
Daskreechkzip: Press it again and see if it goes back to being nuts20:21
DaskreechTHat toggles the compositor on and off20:21
douglDaskreech, shows icon of my xp printer/sound server?20:24
Daskreechclick on that then?20:24
DaskreechSee if it shows you the printer20:24
douglshows c$ and 2 other folders20:25
Daskreechoh Hm20:25
kzipDaskreech: yup, unresponsive again after pressing that combp20:25
Daskreechno printers?20:25
douglno printers20:25
Daskreechkzip: Ok hit it again and if you like you can hop into #kwin and let them know20:25
Daskreechit's weekend so they might not be around but I think they would like to hear that you are having kwin issues on firstboot20:25
kzipCool - what is the problem then?20:26
Daskreechkzip: Some plugin is having an issue with some (video) driver20:26
kzipAnd that combo disables what?20:26
DaskreechIt's normally really good about detecting those issues and disabling the compositor so that should be interesting20:26
Daskreechkzip: the compositor20:27
Daskreechwhich in turn runs the plugins20:27
kzipAnything I can do to leave it off?20:27
kzipon boot20:28
DaskreechTurn it off once then logout20:28
Daskreech it will remember the next time you login20:28
Daskreechdougl: what'the 2 otherfolders?20:28
douglone is called Downloads and the other SharedDocs20:29
kzipDeskreech: Ok - thanks for your help.  I'll report it in #kwin & see if I can help troubleshoot it with them.20:29
