[00:25] <phunyguy> ahhh +1  couldnt remember!  thanks!
[00:40] <killown> about this https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305498
[00:40] <killown> the developer is saying this is a kubuntu issue
[00:47] <SIR_Taco> killown: have you done what Mr. Feck suggested in your bug report?
[00:51] <killown> SIR_Taco, what is #kubuntu is for?
[00:53] <SIR_Taco> killown:  KDE 3.4.2 is what you are using?
[00:53] <killown> SIR_Taco, 4.9
[01:01] <SIR_Taco> killown: What are you trying to accomplish exactly?
[01:01] <Nutts> Hi all. Having lots of trouble installing kubuntu lts. The boot CD keeps freezing up. Anybody else had this issue?
[01:03] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: which Kubuntu/Ubuntu version?
[01:03] <Nutts> 12.04 PP
[01:12] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: did you run the "check disc for errors" option from the menu when you boot from the disc?
[01:13] <Nutts> I did not. I only checked the MD5 on the iso and it came back ok. recommended?
[01:17] <juan_> HOLA
[01:17] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: It's worth a shot... there are many things that could be wrong
[01:21] <Nutts> SIR_Taco: test passed. Would you recommend the memory test?
[01:21] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: yes I would, but it's going to take awhile
[01:22] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: you don't get any sort of error while installing? can't hit CTRL-ALT-F1 or F2, etc. to get to a terminal?
[01:26] <Nutts> Sir_Taco: nope. basically everything seems to be going fine. But the scrolling dots stop moving and the cd drive stops spinning after another minute or so. all hard drive activity stops
[01:26] <Nutts> No errors on the screen
[01:27] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: when the 'scrolling dots' are on the screen, you can hit ESC and it should show you the boot process. You might see an error there (could be driver related, could be hardware related)
[01:28] <Nutts> Sir_Taco: Ok let's see what she does
[01:31] <Nutts> Sir_Taco: Ok looks like a driver issue. "b43-phy0 error: firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found
[01:34] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11883375&postcount=6
[01:35] <SIR_Taco> not an ideal solution, but it seems to be a solution
[01:35] <Nutts> Sir_Taco: Thank you. You are a gentleman and a scholar
[01:36] <SIR_Taco> Nutts: You're welcome
[02:09] <Tech_Head> Hello all
[02:14] <SIR_Taco> hello Tech_Head

[05:20] <ggvaberi> hi guys.
[05:20] <ggvaberi> how to change application launcher icons sizes?
[05:46] <noaXess> morning..
[05:46] <noaXess> each morning
[05:47] <noaXess> updatedb.mlocate runs now (07:47 am) instead of 05:25 am
[05:48] <noaXess> any idea, where updatedb.mloate is configured to run later then 05:25? see /etc/crontab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1158433/
[09:37] <kvaks_> I've installed kubuntu-desktop over regular Ubuntu 12.04. Using KDE I still get gnome notification pop ups (say, for new package updates available). How can I reconfigure to use knotify instead of Ubuntu/Gnome's notify-osd?
[10:01] <mime> hey ppl, ive already installed precise, but when installing a colortheme or iconset, nothing appears in the list, only i see them when i start systemsettings in sudo mode, any help? thnx!!!
[10:22] <Qantourisc> Compared to Xubunutu how "slow" is it ? (6 year old machine)
[10:22] <Qantourisc> (Xubuntu is a nightmare cause it uses gnome's network manage)r
[12:27] <Quetzalcoatl> hi guys! is anyone installed iredmail using virtual domains ?
[12:29] <Quetzalcoatl> my dns is kept on my isp
[13:31] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:33] <killown> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305498  the developer is saying this is a kubuntu issue, please someone help to fix thiss
[13:36] <who_me> Hello. Will Kubuntu ISOs be re-issued following the release of Ubuntu 12.04.1 ?
[13:39] <phunyguy> ugh, the wifi here sucks, sorry.
[13:39] <phunyguy> (if anyone answered)
[13:49] <gogo_> hi everyone
[13:49] <phunyguy> good luck, lol.
[13:49] <gogo_> my flash player doesnt work how can i fix it
[13:50] <phunyguy> it's a ghost town here this morning
[13:50] <gogo_> my flash player doesnt work how can i fix it
[13:52] <gogo_> my flash player doesnt work how can i fix it
[13:52] <hateball> gogo_: In which browser, and what does "doesnt work" mean?
[13:52] <hateball> !repeat
[14:07] <phunyguy> So I found an article to modify some config files, but there should be an easier way.
[14:31] <excognac> hi all sorry for such an easy question but how do i copy /home/userA/.kde to home/userB/.kde whereas userB is the only sudoer?
[14:32] <excognac> or ny oter ideas to recover fast a corrupted/broken desktop profile
[14:32] <excognac> *any, other
[14:33] <phunyguy> su to userB
[14:33] <phunyguy> in the terminal, and cp -v /home/userB/* to /home/userA
[14:33] <phunyguy> pretty much anyway
[14:33] <excognac> thanks a lot
[14:33] <phunyguy> maybe have to chown it once it's there
[14:34] <SIR_Taco> excognac: if your kde desktop config is corrupted just move and/or remove the .kde directory. It will be re-created next time the user logs into KDE
[14:35] <excognac> ty SIR _Taco
[14:58] <Qantourisc> Compared to Xubunutu how "slow" is it ? (6 year old machine)
[14:58] <Qantourisc> Kubunutu to understand
[15:03] <BluesKaj> genii-around, I have 2 internal drives and one external , each internal drive has 2 partitions , the external is formatted to ext4 and contains media files mostly. I've reading about UUID and it's settings in fstab , but each OS installed has it's own fstab and designates each partition on all drives differently from each other's fstab , Will UUID tie the partitons on the drives so they have common IDs in each fstab
[15:03] <BluesKaj> ?
[15:06] <genii-around> BluesKaj: Work, sorry for lag
[15:07] <BluesKaj> np genii-around , I'm here all morning
[15:07] <genii-around> BluesKaj: The UUID is always static no matter what order the system boots up in, or what order the BIOS puts the drives
[15:08] <BluesKaj> ok genii-around how do I implement UUID , been looking for tutorials , but there seem to be any current ones
[15:09] <bazhang> !blkid
[15:09] <genii-around> BluesKaj: To find the UUID: sudo blkid
[15:09]  * genii-around sips coffee and stares at bazhang
[15:10] <BluesKaj> bazhang, that doesn't tell me much
[15:10] <genii-around> BluesKaj: To implement the UUID in fstab, format is like: UUID=73ef1624-8922-41bd-a946-1fbe06434324 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
[15:10] <viktor> hi
[15:10] <genii-around> ( this is an excerpt from my fstab )
[15:10] <viktor> cmagina
[15:11] <viktor> u there?
[15:11] <viktor> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1159180/
[15:11] <BluesKaj> genii-around, so do I run the command on each OS ?
[15:12] <genii-around> BluesKaj: Since the UUID never changes, no, just under one, then record the UUID so you can use it in the different fstab files for each system
[15:13] <BluesKaj> ok genii , thanks
[15:19] <BluesKaj> going back to the main drive 12.04 to do the UUIDs , sudo blkid , since it's the stable OS in my setup ..BBIAB
[15:43] <legodude> hi everyone, I'm having new trouble with /tmp and 'overflow' - I'm running out of temp space whenver I try to do anything
[15:43] <legodude> I don't quite understand it
[15:45] <legodude> and df reports 1bmb sized /tmp
[16:12] <chilly_> Hello.. I'm quite new to kubuntu..
[16:12] <chilly_> does anyone know what is the use of the four dots beside the icon on title bar?
[16:13] <chilly_> when i click on it, it became one dot, but nothing happens
[16:14] <Kvaks> chilly_: It doesn't look like four dots, but I have a "sticky" button there.
[16:14] <Kvaks> Makes the window stick even if you move around to other virtual desktops.
[16:15] <dabauer> join ubuntu-cn
[16:15] <chilly_> I see.. let me try that..
[16:15] <chilly_> whoa.. ur right kvaks.. thanks for the info..
[16:15] <Kvaks> No prob!
[16:15] <chilly_> its kind of awkward going kubuntu from windows..
[16:16] <Kvaks> Good move. You'll get used to the differences quickly, I think.
[16:16] <chilly_> I hope so.. this is the third time I reinstall my machine with linux distro
[16:17] <chilly_> never got the plugin usb modem to work till now
[16:17] <chilly_> and missing many great window programs
[16:18] <Kvaks> Most work well in Wine, though.
[16:18] <Kvaks> The only Windows app I miss is Adobe Lightroom.
[16:18] <chilly_> mm.. currently im trying to install notepad ++ with wine..
[16:19] <chilly_> its updating gecko
[16:19] <chilly_> sure takes its time
[16:19] <chilly_> downloading
[16:19] <Kvaks> No need for that! There's plenty of good text editors for Linux!
[16:20] <chilly_> ya.. real plenty, but most of them doesnt have feature that npp have..
[16:20] <chilly_> i tried netbeans ide, and i cant even press enter to change line..
[16:21] <chilly_> but really some kde feature are nice, like that desktop icons..
[16:22] <chilly_> having said that.. do you know how to remove icons from the desktop? most programs i tried installing, i have no idea how to uninstall them completely.. the icons are still left behind
[16:23] <Kvaks> I don't know, I don't have any icons on my desktop at all. Did you drag them there? Right-click and delete, perhaps?
[16:23] <SaCruM> Hi there, someone here know the game summoning wars? It is pretty hard to install apparently. Someone here have it installed and could guide me to install it? Please..
[16:24] <chilly_> nope.. it came with the installation i suppose..
[16:24] <chilly_> i didnt do anything but now i have icons on the desktop, similar to iphone menus.. which is quite neat
[16:25] <chilly_> i was installing kubuntu from server edition, and installed kde interface from there.
[16:25] <chilly_> for sacrum, i didnt play game much.. maybe you can use wine, as kvaks and i discussed just now
[16:26] <SaCruM> chilly_: summoning wars was developed for linux. Its just hard to install, i think i need a lot of deps like ogre, ois, lua5.1... :S
[16:28] <chilly_> hoboy.... i cant event start webgl for my chrome installation in kubuntu.. u lost me in the dependency..
[16:35] <cmagina> viktor: as i said, the issue is an installer problem, which is an area i have no knowledge of. i'd talk to mint, ubuntu or debian about it as there is a greater chance of finding someone with installer internals knowledge who could help you
[16:40] <viktor> cmagina
[16:40] <viktor> the problem is by GPT partitions
[16:40] <viktor> i erase all the disk with Gparted
[16:40] <viktor> and derate a new partition tab
[16:40] <viktor> Linux create MBR partitions by defect?
[16:40] <cmagina> not sure actually
[16:42] <cmagina> the system did properly detect your partitions, both the kernel and the installer, the issue was that the installer failed when it was looking at them for their filesystem type (NTFS, etc.)
[16:42] <cmagina> it figured out some of them, but looks like when it should have returned that information to the partitioner it returned nothing
[16:43] <cmagina> which means there is a bug in the partition scanner that could definitely be related to your system using GPT
[16:43] <chilly_> @kvaks : yowzer, npp and wine works like charm.. thanks again.. ciao
[16:44] <cmagina> if it works by not using gpt, awesome, but its probably worth while to submit a bug against the installer with that syslog and the details of your setup so it can be fixed :)
[16:52] <viktor> hi
[16:53] <viktor> why only open gparted in KDE with terminal (sudo open gparted) ??
[16:53] <viktor> not click in desktop¿
[16:53] <DarthFrog> You can create a desktop icon that will do that.
[16:54] <viktor> yes
[16:54] <viktor> but doesn work
[16:54] <DarthFrog> Use kdesudo instead of sudo.
[16:54] <viktor> in properties of application?
[16:55] <viktor> ok thanks
[16:55] <viktor> solved problem :)
[16:55] <viktor> thanks a lot
[16:55] <DarthFrog> In the "Command" field of "Application".
[16:55] <DarthFrog> You're welcome.

[19:46] <JUS> hi
[19:48] <CQ> hello, any idea where I can get the get_architecture command from??
[21:48] <andrewx> Can some1 PLEASE tell me how I can download a package to a specific folder? like apt-get -d <package_name> /folder  is there a way to do this please?
[21:50] <DeadTOm> It's a matter of finding the actual path to the package you want and then you can just use wget.
[21:51] <BluesKaj> andrewx, the downloads are defaulted to /home/your/username /Downlods
[21:52] <andrewx> LOL
[21:52] <andrewx> you mean to say: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[21:52] <andrewx> but that does not address my question.
[21:52] <andrewx> I was curious if it was possible to download a package to a specific folder
[21:52] <DeadTOm1> Yes, you can do that with wget.
[21:52] <andrewx> so I wouldn't have to go hunting through cache,
[21:53] <DeadTOm1> To my knowledge, it can't be done with apt-get.
[21:53] <DeadTOm1> No you could grab it from the repo with wget.
[21:53] <andrewx> can I get apt-get to tell the specific URL ?
[21:53] <andrewx> I guess for now, its plucking it out of cache...
[21:54] <DeadTOm1> If you know the name of the package, you can google it, with your ubuntu version name and it will turn up the path to it in the repo.
[21:54] <BluesKaj> uhm if you download an app from a website , /home/your/username/Downlods isn the target file
[21:54] <BluesKaj> isn=is
[21:54] <andrewx> Somehow that does not ring true. but ok.
[21:54] <andrewx> You mean using wget.. by default?
[21:54] <BluesKaj> take alook
[21:55] <BluesKaj> that's where mine end up
[21:55] <andrewx> wget will write to last cwd actually
[21:55] <andrewx> cd
[21:55] <andrewx> at any rate...
[21:56] <BluesKaj> both using a browser and  wget
[21:56] <andrewx> I agree with browser perhaps.
[21:56] <andrewx> I notice that "recoq" actually works out of da box now with flash! lol
[21:56] <andrewx> in 12.04 anyway
[21:56] <andrewx> can't say I'm too overall impressed with all those changes
[21:56]  * BluesKaj shrugs  ..well, that's been my experience
[21:57] <andrewx> Not used to those menu's being moved to right-hand drop-down...
[21:57] <andrewx> who's silly idea was that anyway?
[21:57] <DeadTOm1> wget will write to either the folder you're running it from or with the -P
[21:57] <BluesKaj> andrewx, otherwise rekonq doesn't load pages properly, it's hopeless
[21:57] <andrewx> I usually use -O myself.
[22:37] <JMichael|work> is there a way to stop the file transfer pop-up notifications, while keep the systray file transfer indicator?
[22:45] <DeadTOm> Hmmm... I don't get those notifications. The tray icon changes to let me know something is going on but nothing pops up. I have to click on it to see what's going on. What version of kde are you using?
