[00:14] <artao> does anyone here know of an app, linux preferably, with with I can enter notes by hand into pdf files using my wacom tablet?
[00:14] <artao> AND have those notes viewable in a standard install of Acrobat Reader .. kinda important
[00:16] <SIR_Taco> artao: could you not use something like Libreoffice Draw, and print to a PDF?
[00:22] <artao> perhaps. looking in to that ... i never though of using LO for pdfs .. that was mentioned in another channel as well =]
[00:35] <Daskreech> Most things can print to PDF
[00:40] <rhombus> The current kubuntu iso seems to be too large to burn to CD-R.
[00:41] <Phiscribe> ok whats up with the desktop cd now saying it needs 703mb and all my blanks are 700 and the burner whines about it?
[00:41] <Phiscribe> DOH
[00:41] <Phiscribe> i didnt read what you typed rhombus before i did, seems we are in same baot
[00:41] <rhombus> Phiscribe: Then this is a real problem
[00:42] <Phiscribe> maybe if i up date my burner software, trying that
[00:42] <rhombus> Phiscribe: I highly doubt it
[00:42] <rhombus> Phiscribe: For what it is worth, this oops has happened before
[00:42] <Phiscribe> 700's are suppoedly able to go up to 703, but its edgy
[00:43] <rhombus> Phiscribe: Actually, the hard limit is 702.8
[00:43] <rhombus> Man, who knows when this is going to get fixed..
[00:43] <Phiscribe> yeah not working with the 703.29, so its a distribution error and not just user error?
[00:45] <rhombus> Phiscribe: Since this has happened before, and since in both cases the isos were absolutely unburnable, I would say this is a bug and not your fault.
[00:46] <rhombus> How well is kubuntu maintained? The home page still has a copyright date of 2010.
[00:50] <rhombus> Maybe I will have to resort to the DVD... but that will take forever to download, not to mention oodles of disk.
[00:50] <Phiscribe> one of my boxes wont boot from dvd
[01:06] <Phiscribe> sigh...i dont know if trying to remaster is worth it, taking out wubi would make it fit
[01:07] <rhombus> Phiscribe: Oh, it has wubi in it?
[01:07] <rhombus> Phiscribe: Who needs that?
[01:07] <rhombus> Hey look, it's Bender!
[01:07] <vivid> Phiscribe: you could always use the net installer (mini.iso)
[01:08] <BenderUK> bite my shiny metal ass ;)
[01:08] <Phiscribe> good idea vivid
[01:09] <vivid> and yes its a bug, it says that under the download links in red ink
[01:11] <rhombus> BenderUK: lol
[01:12] <BenderUK> only people who haven't seen Futurama don't love Bender ;)
[01:12] <rhombus> BenderUK: (got anything to drink?)
[01:12] <BenderUK> yeah, energy drink ;)
[01:13] <rhombus> owwh...
[01:14] <rhombus> vivid: under which download links? I see no such message where I obtained the iso...
[01:14] <vivid> sec
[01:15] <vivid> youre right, its not there anymore, but it was
[01:16] <rhombus> vivid: oh... how old is this bug?
[01:16] <vivid> seems to reappear every release cycle...doesnt it?
[01:16] <vivid> look at the quantal images....758MB
[01:17] <Daskreech> Which ISO is that?
[01:17] <rhombus> Daskreech: kubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[01:18] <rhombus> vivid: A search reveals this happens a lot.
[01:18] <vivid> didnt the .1 release just happen?
[01:18] <vivid> probably want to report a bug against that if theres not one already
[01:18] <vivid> becuase it seems like it would be a critical bug
[01:18] <rhombus> vivid: where can I do that?
[01:18] <vivid> not sure, somewhere on launchpad which is extremely unintuitive
[01:19] <rhombus> vivid: they don't make it easy
[01:19] <vivid> well, its just impossible to search effectively
[01:19] <vivid> works better through google imo
[01:20] <vivid> but it does seem like it happens alot doesnt it
[01:20] <vivid> trying to fit an entire desktop on a single CD is getting harder and harder
[01:21] <rhombus> vivid: I suppose... but maybe there is a lot of unnecessary stuff on it
[01:21] <rhombus> for instance -- I have zero need for wubi, phiscribe mentioned it includes that
[01:22] <rhombus> it might mean that multiple isos are needed
[01:22] <rhombus> vivid: where can I find the mini iso?
[01:22] <vivid> uh
[01:22] <rhombus> vivid: and will it let me do an install over WLAN?
[01:22] <vivid> for which release/arch
[01:22] <vivid> i dont know
[01:23] <rhombus> vivid: x86
[01:24] <BenderUK> i wonder if trying to fit the distro on a CD should be still a priority
[01:24] <yofel_> note: you can get the old 12.04 release images from http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/releases/12.04/release/
[01:24] <yofel> those are a few M's smaller
[01:24] <BenderUK> i mean come on, i guess if someone can afford a CD he can certainly afford a freakin USB stick
[01:24] <rhombus> BenderUK: that depends on what you mean by "fit the distro"
[01:24] <yofel> BenderUK: quantal (12.10) won't fit on a CD
[01:24] <BenderUK> i mean the whole image
[01:24] <rhombus> BenderUK: I disagree here
[01:24] <vivid> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
[01:25] <rhombus> BenderUK: install isos should be provided, especially since USB boot still doesn't work on a lot of hardware and is finicky when it does work
[01:25] <BenderUK> hmm true
[01:26] <rhombus> BenderUK: and it's not like I am asking for floppies here
[01:26] <BenderUK> :)
[01:26] <BenderUK> btw rhombus, do you have any experience with kate?
[01:26] <rhombus> BenderUK: she's wicked in bed
[01:26] <rhombus> BenderUK: oh wait, you mean...
[01:27] <rhombus> BenderUK: um, no.
[01:27] <BenderUK> yep you stud, i meant the editor ;)
[01:29] <BenderUK> anyway i'm off coding, have a good night :)
[01:30] <rhombus> BenderUK: good night
[01:30] <c_smith> Daskreech, I managed to make the alternate installer work by using a frontend for dd.
[01:30] <Daskreech> c_smith: \o/
[01:30] <c_smith> Daskreech, just thought I'd let you know in case anyone else has the problem I had.
[01:31] <c_smith> anywho, now I'm running into issues because the machine has UEFI.
[01:31] <rhombus> vivid: ok, that was for the main ubuntu... is there a mini iso for kubuntu?
[01:31] <vivid> rhombus: no
[01:31] <vivid> its the same for all of them
[01:32]  * rhombus cries.
[01:32] <c_smith> something I'm gonna try a two step approach to: install, then chroot into it on the kubuntu main installer and install grub-efi.
[01:32] <vivid> you can either just base install and use apt to install kubuntu
[01:32] <rhombus> vivid: oh!
[01:32] <vivid> or you can select it from the list during install and it will download whichever you want
[01:32] <rhombus> vivid: oh, wow.
[01:32] <rhombus> vivid: nice. I will try that!
[01:32] <vivid> so you can install whatever you want with it
[01:33] <c_smith> anywho, I'll be on #kubuntu-offtopic should anyone need me.
[01:33] <rhombus> c_smith: sure, thanks.
[01:34] <c_smith> anyone know if a LVM/LUKS setup would interfere with chrooting?
[01:48] <Daskreech> rhombus: Isn't the mini iso just a netinst?
[01:48] <Daskreech> c_smith: No just have to load up the LVM LUKS
[01:48] <Daskreech> (though that does mean the kernel you are using should have support)
[01:49] <c_smith> Daskreech, well, looks like in trying to figure that out, I unintentionally hosed the UEFI partition..... ooops.
[01:49] <Daskreech> >_>
[01:49] <Daskreech> !uefi
[01:49] <Daskreech> hmm
[01:50] <Daskreech> !efi
[01:50] <Daskreech> They keep removing stuff :(
[01:50] <datruth> is there a tool in kde to check the health of my harddrives?
[01:53] <DarthFrog> smartctl, in package smartmontools.
[01:53] <yofel> datruth: not sure if there's any GUI app, for CLI there's smartmontools for SMART data and badblocks for physical tests
[01:56] <Daskreech> !info smartmontools
[01:57] <Daskreech> !info smart-notifier
[02:04] <digitalj> Man printing is so easy to setup on Kubuntu....
[02:04] <digitalj> Easier than Windows...windows didn't even autodetect the drivers for my network printer
[02:08] <rhombus> Daskreech: "just" a netinst?
[02:09] <rhombus> Daskreech: it's a netinst that starts from a CD...
[02:09] <Daskreech> rhombus: My point was that you don't need a "kubuntu" one
[02:10] <Daskreech> digitalj: Yeah but likely to get harder thanks to Apple
[02:10] <rhombus> Daskreech: oh, yes -- that was made clear to me by vivid -- I wasn't aware that could be done at the installer level
[02:12] <digitalj> How is Apple going to effect printing on Linux?
[02:12] <DarthFrog> Affect.
[02:13] <digitalj> DarthFrog, how nice of you
[02:13] <DarthFrog> :-)
[02:14]  * DarthFrog is a grammar Nazi at times.
[02:14] <digitalj> I'
[02:14] <digitalj> Oops
[02:14] <digitalj> I'm too tired for that
[02:15] <digitalj> and focusing on my mass produced, sugary,  corn-based cereal
[02:15] <datruth> yofel: do I need the smart data and badblocks?
[02:15] <digitalj> of which I'll be going back for seconds
[02:18] <c_smith> what i need to know now is is there a way to get the UEFI part back on the laptop I hosed it on?
[02:19] <c_smith> I got the proper partition back, but have no clue what was on it.
[02:19] <yofel> datruth: depends on what you want to know, for a general health info the smart data is usually enough
[02:29] <Daskreech> digitalj: They own CUPS
[02:29] <Daskreech> c_smith: not sure
[02:30] <c_smith> Daskreech, kk
[02:34] <c_smith> Daskreech, looks like just creating the partition was enough/
[02:35] <c_smith> now to install kubuntu THEN install the LVM/LUKS setup again, then chroot.
[02:35] <Daskreech> Hooray for technology becoming stupider
[02:37] <c_smith> yep
[02:37] <c_smith> now to figure out how to install grub-efi
[02:37] <c_smith> figured I'd just forego all that and just chroot
[02:44] <Daskreech> !grub
[03:37] <netrunner_> o
[05:39] <mr-rich> Why does kubuntu keep asking me if I want to remove my sound devices?
[05:40] <goodtime> you prob have some notifier running in the background
[05:40] <goodtime> might be able to disable it in settings
[05:47] <mr-rich> Notifier? for what? All I did was plug in my iPhone ... also happens when I start smb4k ... wierd
[05:48] <nightduke> hello
[05:52] <hateball> mr-rich: have you used say.... HDMI to connect your machine to some external device?
[05:55] <mr-rich> hateball: no HDMI connection. Just an Iphone or starting smb4k to mount my iTunes dir from a Winbloze VM ... that triggers a dialog to remove some or all of my sound devices ....
[05:59] <hateball> mr-rich: how strange
[06:00] <mr-rich> hateball: very
[06:00] <hateball> I don't know if an iPhone might act as a sound device of sorts, when it gets connected
[06:00] <hateball> anyhow, if I use HDMI it will add new sound devices, and then when I'm not using it any longer, it will ask if I want to remove the devices
[06:00] <hateball> thought it would be something similar perhaps
[07:39] <rly> How can I see why Nautilus is started at login time?
[07:39] <rly> I disabled all my Autostart scripts already.
[07:43] <hateball> rly: Nautilus as in the file manager?
[07:44] <rly> hateball: which other Nautilus do you know?
[07:44] <jdrs> fitness equipments
[07:45] <hateball> rly: Over 9000 others, not sure how it matters.
[07:45] <hateball> rly: Do you have session set to restore on login, or do you start with a blank one?
[07:45] <rly> hateball: you listed zero now.
[07:45] <hateball> Ok, suit yourself
[07:45] <rly> hateball: it matters, because it was a stupid question.
[07:46] <rly> I believe I resolved it myself already, but I think it's a bug.
[07:46] <rly> Or rather, a very unwelcome consequence of the way Nautilus works.
[08:00] <rly> Hi, I am running KDE, the as yet unreleased new car by The Not So Existing Corporation and I was wondering how I can eject the fanaticalator. Can you help me?
[08:02] <rly> Hi, I am trying to put in a nautilus in my machine, but it's breathing heavily and is in fact about to die! I thought Linux supported Nautilus.
[08:51] <nandhu> hi how to add a short cut key in metacity .. eg: i need to add ctrl+alt+o to open a library office
[08:56] <tsimpson> nandhu: you'd have better luck asking that over in #ubuntu
[09:35] <drillococco> ciao
[11:14] <Guest83828> Notebook/usb
[11:22] <equex> what metapackage should i install to get make, gcc and the rest _
[11:22] <equex> i thought it was build-essentials but thats not it
[11:22] <szal> drop the s at the end ;)
[11:23] <Taggnostr3> hello
[11:23] <equex> ah eheh
[11:24] <Taggnostr3> "uname -r" says "3.0.0-12-generic" but the kernel headers that I'm using are 3.2.0, and there isn't any package for 3.0.0 and this is causing me problems with dkms.  Do you know how can I fix this?
[11:25] <szal> Taggnostr3: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:25] <Guest83828> 217
[11:26] <Taggnostr3> szal: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[11:27] <Taggnostr3> szal, I'm getting the error while installing blcr-dkms, and it says "Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.0.0-12-generic cannot be found. Please install the linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic package, or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located"
[11:28] <Taggnostr3> I tried to look for that package but it doesn't exist, and I think the problem is that the value I see with uname -r is not updated with the current headers I'm using
[11:30] <vivid> Taggnostr3: update your kernel.....install linux-generic
[11:30] <Taggnostr3> it all started when I did an upgrade after about one month since the last one, and blcr-dkms gave an error.  When I restarted the additional nvidia drivers were disabled, and I spent a couple of hours trying to enable them and to reinstall blcr-dkms but that didn't work
[11:31] <Taggnostr3> vivid, it's already updated to 3.2.0, I tried to reinstall linux-generic too but uname -r still says 3.0.0
[11:32] <hateball> Are you actually *booting* the latest kernel tho?
[11:32] <vivid> you know you have to restart and select the kernel from grub right?
[11:32] <vivid> i mean, id think that is common sense but you never know
[11:33] <Taggnostr3> I just assumed it was picking the latest one
[11:33] <Taggnostr3> also because I don't have 3.0.0 installed
[11:33] <vivid> depends on what kind of funky shit youve done to the system...
[11:33] <Taggnostr3> with dpkg -l | grep linux-headers I see 2.6.24 and 3.2.0
[11:33] <vivid> grub will select whatever you tell it to select
[11:33] <bazhang> vivid, no cursing here please
[11:33] <Taggnostr3> fwiw I never had to select anything when starting the pc, is there a way to check what grub is picking?
[11:34] <vivid> so youve upgraded from one release to another?
[11:34] <Taggnostr3> it was already 12.04, but I haven't updated this machine in about one month, I just did the regular updates, and there were updates for the linux-headers too
[11:34] <vivid> bazhang: what..you going to kick me too now?
[11:35] <szal> Taggnostr3: did you reboot since?
[11:35] <Taggnostr3> yes, a few times already
[11:35] <bazhang> vivid, pardon? please keep the channel family friendly,  ie no cursing
[11:35] <Taggnostr3> I can try once more if you want
[11:35] <vivid> right, because IRC is a family hangout
[11:36] <vivid> Taggnostr3: be sure you select the kernel you want from grub....hold shift if you have to, to get the menu
[11:36] <Taggnostr3> so I restart and old shift, and then the grub menu should appear and I pick the 3.2.0 kernel?
[11:36] <Taggnostr3> hold*
[11:36] <szal> yes
[11:36] <vivid> basically
[11:37] <Taggnostr3> ok, let's see
[11:37] <Taggnostr3> in the meanwhile, thanks for the help!
[11:37] <vivid> i didnt know 2.6.24 was even available in precise..
[11:37] <szal> upgraded from some previous version, I assume
[11:38] <vivid> he said it was already 12.04...
[11:38] <szal> .24 must've been Jaunty or something
[11:38] <vivid> hardy
[11:39] <szal> !info linux-generic hardy
[11:39] <szal> indeed
[11:39] <vivid> anyway, i better get out of here before the 4am linux nazis come for me
[11:40] <szal> huh?
[11:41] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:45] <Taggnostr3> so in the grub list I only have 2.6 and 3.0.0, and they all say Ubuntu 11.10, even if I have 12.04
[11:46] <Taggnostr3> earlier, during the upgrade, a popup window asked me something about a menu list, or something similar, I just picked the default selection, but maybe that was the wrong one
[11:47] <Taggnostr3> could this be the problem?
[11:49] <BluesKaj> Taggnostr3, have you done sudo update-grub since installing 12.04 ?
[11:49] <Taggnostr3> no, should I?
[11:49] <BluesKaj> yes
[11:50] <Taggnostr3> ok, done, I guess now I'll have to restart again, right?
[11:50] <BluesKaj> well, it's not necessary , but if you're curious ...
[11:51] <Taggnostr3> uname -r is still wrong, so I'll restart once more and see if it works
[11:51] <Taggnostr3> brb
[11:51] <ALS-IT-NET-PC> lets go....
[11:57] <Taggnostr3> BluesKaj, I restarted and in the grub list I still see ubuntu 11.10 with the 2.6 and 3.0.0 kernels
[11:58] <BluesKaj> Taggnostr3, run lsb_release -a in the terminal
[11:58] <Taggnostr3> Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[12:01] <Taggnostr3> BluesKaj, in /boot/grub/menu.lst I still see 11.10 too
[12:02] <hateball> Taggnostr3:  Sounds like you need to re-run grub-mkconfig
[12:03] <Taggnostr3> hateball, I've done that too now, but the list is still the same
[12:04] <hateball> Taggnostr3: *how* did you do it? grub-mkconfig by itself will only print to stdout
[12:04] <hateball> which should let you see proper entries with the 3.2 kernel if it finds it
[12:05] <Taggnostr3> I see the 3.2 entries in the output, but there's also 3.0.0 and 2.6
[12:05] <hateball> and if you want grub to actually use that, you need to tell it to output to /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[12:06] <Taggnostr3> ok, let me try
[12:06] <hateball> you can take a look at your current grub.cfg for a comparison
[12:06] <Taggnostr3> hateball, apparently I don't have a grub.cfg right now
[12:07] <Taggnostr3> not in /boot/grub/ at least
[12:07] <Taggnostr3> should I just create it?
[12:07] <hateball> Ummm... are you perhaps still running grub1 and not grub2 ?
[12:07] <hateball> hmm
[12:07] <Taggnostr3> how can I check that?
[12:08] <Taggnostr3> in dpkg -l I see a 'grub 0.97-29ubuntu66' and 'grub-common 1.99-21ubuntu3.1'
[12:09] <hateball> yeah... that's not too awesome
[12:09] <szal> Taggnostr3: do you have a /boot/grub/menu.lst instead?
[12:09] <Taggnostr3> $ grub --version -> grub (GNU GRUB 0.97)
[12:09] <Taggnostr3> szal, yes
[12:09] <szal> supports my assumption that you have a system originally upgraded from Hardy
[12:09] <Taggnostr3> szal, that's where I have all the ubuntu 11.10 entries listed
[12:10] <Taggnostr3> szal, originally yes, it was hardy
[12:10] <hateball> I would suggest you remove grub1 and reinstall grub2, that should write the proper entries and such. But dont reboot before you have it properly installed :p
[12:10] <Taggnostr3> szal, I thought you were asking if I was upgrading from hardy when it broke
[12:11] <Taggnostr3> sudo apt-get remove grub && sudo apt-get install grub2?
[12:12] <hateball> Well you already have grub2 installed, so you'd want to do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" after removing grub1
[12:12] <hateball> assuming you want grub on sda, that is.
[12:13]  * szal would suggest running os-prober beforehand
[12:13] <Taggnostr3> if I do sudo apt-get install grub2 it wants to install several packages and remove grub1
[12:13] <hateball> That sounds like a good choice, it should trigger all the scripts
[12:13] <Taggnostr3> The following NEW packages will be installed:  grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2 grub2-common
[12:14] <Taggnostr3> hateball, you mean  sudo apt-get install grub2? or should I run os-prober too?
[12:14] <BluesKaj> sudo update grub afterwards should be enough, Taggnostr3
[12:15] <BluesKaj> sudo update-grub that is
[12:15] <hateball> Taggnostr3: by installing grub2 it should run all the magics
[12:15] <Taggnostr3> ok, I'm trying
[12:15] <hateball> that is probe for OS and ask to install it to MBR and so on
[12:16] <Taggnostr3> now menu.lst looks ok
[12:17] <Taggnostr3> so I'll try to reboot, if it works I'll run upgrade-from-grub-legacy as written in menu.lst to complete the upgrade
[12:17] <Taggnostr3> brb
[12:23] <hateball> That's a long time for a reboot, hope he didnt break all the things
[12:28] <BluesKaj> hmm, doesn't look good for his reboot
[12:30] <datruth> BluesKaj: I finally found a fix for my sound issue that I was working on
[12:31] <BluesKaj> datruth, by editing your script ?
[12:31] <datruth> BluesKaj: So what I did is I kept my script and I stop'd kmix from loading on boot, I installed veromix and reassigned the hotkeys to that mixer now with my script I chasnge the audio devices and control the volume on either or\
[12:32] <datruth> So no more setting the master channel manually
[12:32] <datruth> with pavucontrol and /veromix I can listen to both audio devices at the same time
[12:33] <BluesKaj> veromix is very similar to pavucontrol , but I'm glad to hear you have it fixed to our satisfaction
[12:33] <BluesKaj> your
[12:35] <BluesKaj> datruth, I can anyway with pavucontrol , i can switch from coax spdif to hdmi without volume probs
[12:36] <BluesKaj> datruth, the coax spdif runs off the pci soundcard and the hdmi runs off the onboard audio
[12:38] <datruth> ahh i see
[12:38] <datruth> Well I needed the widget+my script so I can do windows key+s then fn+music buttons
[12:39] <datruth> veromix is way better than kmix so I've given kmmix a autostart=false flag
[12:39] <BluesKaj> right , understood
[12:40] <datruth> time to check my smartmon report, I use smartmon do I need to use badblocks to?
[12:41] <BluesKaj> kmix here shows both the pci and hdmi outputs , the pci is card0 ,and hdmi is card1 , in phonon as well the /etc/modrprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file
[12:41] <datruth> BluesKaj: true but with kmix you can't change the audio device with out manually setting the master channel
[12:42] <datruth> I want to use hotkeys to do everything
[12:42] <BluesKaj> dunno about smartmonitor
[12:42] <datruth> Instead of going throw the dialogs to get the settings I want
[12:43] <BluesKaj> datruth, I don't need to set the master vol , they're both max on kmix , and pavocontrol at 100% , I just switch target devices
[12:48] <datruth> BluesKaj: I think your missing what Im saying
[12:48] <BluesKaj> datruth, I wish the devs would come up with a more comprehensive audio suite that can be configured from one application , rather the having deal with alsamixer, phonon/settings ,pulseaudio harware settings , kmix and pavucontrol or veromix ...seasoned kubuntu users know their way around these apps and their settings , but it's very confusing for new users
[12:48] <datruth> BluesKaj: I want to control the volume using hot keys on either audio device
[12:49] <datruth> Kmix doesn't allow for this in order to control you must first set the master channel
[12:49] <datruth> I've tried every possible way, and there are no google hits for it either
[12:49] <BluesKaj> yes I understand your need to use hotkeys , datruth ..but I don't need that
[12:50] <datruth> In kmix you have to manually do everything I dont like that
[12:50] <datruth> it should beable to use the same hotkeys on either device
[12:51] <datruth> BluesKaj: I couldnd't completely remove kmix since my script uses that to set the sinks when switching between audio devicesx
[12:52] <BluesKaj> some ppl don't like kmix either , they just disable it system settings ...it can't be removed without taking the desktop with it
[13:05] <CyberWasteland> ok
[13:07] <Taggnostr> hateball, BluesKaj, everything is fine, I just saw that everything worked and went home, thanks again for the help
[13:07] <hateball> Taggnostr: good, we were getting worried :p
[13:08] <BluesKaj> Taggnostr, c ool , glad to hear it :)
[14:06] <monkeyjuice> been trying to find how to get thunderbird to open chromium browser on email link, ?
[14:06] <Smurphy> default browser setting usually takes it. In ubuntu.
[14:09] <monkeyjuice> chromium is set as defalut
[14:09] <monkeyjuice> default
[14:10] <Smurphy> u right. It's using not my default browser here too... KDE 4.8.5 ...
[14:10] <Smurphy> *seeeK8
[14:14] <BluesKaj> trying out the chat client in thunderbird , sems to work so far
[14:15] <monkeyjuice> hmmm well were do i get thunderbird to open links ;(
[14:15] <Smurphy> https://paolobernardi.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/how-to-change-thunderbird-6-default-browser/
[14:15] <Smurphy> Try that one ...
[14:15] <BluesKaj> monkeyjuice: , tools /chatststus
[14:15] <BluesKaj> status
[14:17] <BluesKaj> the only prob so far is the entry textbox font is terribly small  on this screen , but chat text itself rsizes with ctrl+
[14:19] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: https://paolobernardi.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/how-to-change-thunderbird-6-default-browser/ Set thunderbird to ask you - and save it.;
[14:22] <monkeyjuice> hmmm well maybe reboot and see no good so far
[14:22] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  I don't need to change the browser , w're discussing the irc client in thunderbird ...a lot of ppl aren't aware of it and it seems like it's quite good
[14:23] <BluesKaj> monkeyjuice:  it's abit slow at informing you about your connections , especially the chat rooms
[14:23] <monkeyjuice> BluesKaj:  trying to get thunderbird to open email link with chromium
[14:24] <BluesKaj> oh sorry , misunderstood...hang on
[14:24] <monkeyjuice> ;)

[14:28] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  I should have checked , the latest t-bird is version 15 , so i doubt version 6 is similar

[15:02] <Joalland> Hi
[15:02] <Joalland> I've got severals questions on IRC
[15:03] <lordievader> !ask | Joalland
[15:03] <Joalland> How can i change the color of my nickname ?
[15:04] <Joalland> And how can I adress a message to another person ?
[15:04] <BluesKaj> Joalland:  which irc client?
[15:04] <lordievader> Joalland, The first I cannot answer, I suggest trying Google. For the second simply type someone's nick.
[15:06] <Joalland> Konversation
[15:07] <BluesKaj> Joalland:  settings configure konverstaion , colors and go from there
[15:07] <Joalland> ok thanks
[15:17] <BluesKaj> back on konversation ...familiar territory ..the t-bird irc client is ok, but a bit slow to change rooms , and the entry textbox fonts are too small and can't be increased, altho the chat text font is configurable
[16:41] <mr-rich> Ok, I have my TV card (a very old Bt878) plugged into the CD port on the MB (P55-UDA). I launch tvtime and I get a picture, but no sound. Both Phonon & Alsamixer don't even list the CD port as a possable volume control. Kubuntu 12.04 (all updates applied). Any ideas?
[17:10] <hegemon8> hello everyone
[17:16] <xubuntu_> anybody could help me partitioning?
[17:22] <skreech_> xubuntu_: What do you need?
[17:26] <uglyoldbob> is there a way to disable the reset button in kubuntu without unplugging it from the motherboard?
[17:27] <Daskreech> uglyoldbob: No
[17:27] <uglyoldbob> hmm, thats weird because i managed to disable the power button with power settings
[17:28] <Daskreech> It's almost purely a hardware switch and as far as I know the settings that manage it are BIOS/UEFI without external software calls. Unless you want to write one
[17:28] <Daskreech> There is a ACPI standard for the power switch. I don't think there is one for the reset
[17:29] <Daskreech> at least I've never seen one
[17:30] <xubuntu_> I can' partition ubuntu with mounting point
[17:30] <Daskreech> xubuntu_: Alright what are you doing?
[17:30] <xubuntu_> I have a dual boot mini mac
[17:31] <xubuntu_> and using an utility I could launch the trying xubuntu from  a partition, since using cd I cant, but I don't have a mounting point
[17:34] <xubuntu_> I've launched xubuntu from the image installed on a partition, and when I try to install it don't find the mounting point and it stop there
[17:34] <Daskreech> Which mac is this?
[17:35] <Daskreech>  did you use refit?
[17:35] <xubuntu_> yes sure
[17:35] <xubuntu_> mini mac
[17:35] <xubuntu_> with intel dual core
[17:38] <Daskreech> and you get the refit menu?
[17:42] <merlin1991> hey guys, I killed my grub by installing windows (again) to a fresh ssd, does someone have a guide handy for getting grub back into the bootsector?
[17:42] <xubuntu_> yes no problem with refl menu
[17:44] <merlin1991> xubuntu_: did you answer my question or someone elses from earlier?
[17:45] <Daskreech> !brub
[17:45] <Daskreech> !grub | merlin1991
[17:45] <Daskreech> xubuntu_: Alright how are you partitioning?
[17:46] <merlin1991> thanks Daskreech
[17:47] <Daskreech> xubuntu_: what's your partition layout?
[17:50] <xubuntu_> I created many partitions using gparted, but without mounting point
[17:51] <xubuntu_> it doesn't allow
[17:54] <xubuntu_> may I create a mountpoint on a partition using any utility different from ubuntu installation utility?
[17:56] <Daskreech> xubuntu_: Yes
[17:57] <xubuntu_> how?
[17:57] <Daskreech> xubuntu_: You have to create at least one point on the Ubuntu installation
[17:57] <Daskreech> the / mount point
[18:06] <xubuntu_> I didn't find the option
[18:06] <xubuntu_> how?
[18:10] <denisboyun> Hi guys, I have the some questions? I have a notebook asus x501, I already install Kubuntu 12.04 and the some keys for example FN+F2"wifi", FN+F10,F9"volume" aren't work. What is the problem?
[18:28] <rly> denisboyun: your laptop has no platform support out of the box then.
[18:29] <rly> denisboyun: file a bug/fix it yourself/write some kernel drivers.
[18:29] <rly> denisboyun: some subset of those need to be done.
[18:29] <rly> denisboyun: not everything works as great as one would want it to work.
[18:29] <rly> denisboyun: best thing is to buy hardware which you already know is working with the software you want to use.
[18:30] <rly> denisboyun: perhaps asus already has the important part (kernel support).
[18:30] <rly> denisboyun: to check that yourself, google for 'platform support' <your model number>
[18:31] <rly> denisboyun: if something comes back, thank your $GOD, otherwise accept that life isn't perfect.
[19:16] <rhombus> muon is complaining that it can't authenticate dependencies when I try to install firefox
[19:24] <denisboyun> file a bug/fix it yourself/write some kernel drivers. ---- Ok, I'd be be happy, but I don't how to start write code for kubuntu. Take me some url or any information how to do this?
