[00:05] <BarkingFish> morning guys - is it possible to downgrade firefox on kubuntu please? I'm stuck on 15.0.1 and most of my addons don't work with it.
[00:07] <artao> no such luck :(
[00:07] <artao> oh well
[00:10] <Dragnslcr> BarkingFish- apt-get install firefox=X.Y.Z
[00:11] <Dragnslcr> I don't think the default GUI programs have a way of specifying a version
[00:11] <BarkingFish> that would be great Dragnslcr - thank you.
[00:11] <BarkingFish> I had got firefox pinned at 13 but decided to have a look and see what the new version was like. Wish I hadn't :(
[00:14] <BarkingFish> Dragnslcr, doesn't work unfortunately :(
[00:14] <BarkingFish> I just get "version 14.0.1 for Firefox not found"
[00:15] <BarkingFish> I guess I'll have to cheat and use the wine version of firefox - which is still at 3.6 :D
[00:18] <Dragnslcr> BarkingFish- you might need the entire version string, e.g. 15.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
[00:18] <Dragnslcr> I'm not sure offhand how to see a list of all available versions, though
[00:22] <BarkingFish> Dragnslcr, success.
[00:22] <SIR_Taco_> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/pm/firefox
[00:22] <BarkingFish> I ran apt-cache policy firefox and it gave me the current version, and the last one it had which was 11.0+build1-0ubuntu4
[00:23] <BarkingFish> so I ran apt-get install firefox=11.0+build1-0ubuntu4 and it's gone through :)
[00:29] <BarkingFish> good lord JontheEchidna :)  There's a name i've not seen pop up for a while :D  How are you?
[01:30] <TSK> BarkingFish: There's also addons that you can install in newer Firefox revisions that'll override the version checking for addons and just FORCE them to work.
[01:31] <BarkingFish> TSK, that is good to know.  I wish I could find one - I'm back at v11 now and hardly bloody anything works :/
[01:52] <TSK> Hang on, BarkingFish.  I'll find ya the one I use.
[01:53] <BarkingFish> thanks :)
[01:54] <BarkingFish> be warned, I may ping out - I'm dl'ing Gnome / Unity to my system
[02:02] <TSK> BarkingFish: Found one of the tools I was using.  It's called "Addon Compatibility Reporter".  It used to force compatibility for addons, but apparently that has become the default for Firefox now.  Addons should just automatically ASSUME they're compatible unless you report them as incompatible.
[02:03] <BarkingFish> fantastic :)
[04:26] <emma> does it seem reasonable that when i run clementine (the music player) and i run the visualizations, clementine crashes?
[06:19] <Smurphy> Morning ...
[07:44] <skreech__> Whooo Sony
[08:30] <amgarching> any advice on getting "slight" hinting for rendering fonts in GTK? I cannot make "gedit" to respect my font settings. Firefox is ok though. I am puzzled.
[08:31] <amgarching> thunderbird fonts are ok, inkscape fonts are not. Both are GTK. Why?

[14:48] <cmagina> anyone experiencing issues with kwalletd? kwalletmanager can't open my wallet (no errors, it just shows me a wallet window with no contents)
[14:48] <cmagina> seems to happen every so often on a boot and only restarting kwalletd fixes it
[14:49] <cmagina> opening kwalletmanager on the commandline shows QDBusConnection warnings
[14:49] <cmagina> QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
[14:52] <Solak> Hello.
[15:03] <layke__> How can I add a command shortcut to the favourites start menu?
[15:03] <layke__> I want to launch something quickly regularly
[15:06] <BluesKaj> layke__, a script or an app?
[15:06] <layke__> It's a bash/sh script, which launches an app
[15:07] <layke__> bin/sh*
[15:07] <layke__> I launch the app by just running ./launcher
[15:07] <layke__> So I'd like to drop something on my favourites that does something like cd /path/to/ && ./launcher
[15:08] <BluesKaj> just add it as a script to system settings>startup and shutdown
[15:10] <BluesKaj> layke__, or you could add a program to it as well
[15:11] <layke__> I can't actually find system settings>startup and shutdown
[15:11] <layke__> I've found autostart.
[15:13] <layke__> BluesKaj, Found what I want.
[15:13] <layke__> KDE Menu Editor
[15:13] <layke__> And I can enter a command.
[15:14] <BluesKaj> kmenu >apps>computer>systemsettings>startup and shutdown
[15:15] <BluesKaj> layke__,
[15:18] <layke__> I see it now thanks. Looking at it though the Menu Editor is what I wanted though.
[15:20] <BluesKaj> layke__, does the script launch an app or ?
[15:21] <layke__> Yeah. It sets up environment vars and things and then launches it through WINE
[15:22] <BluesKaj> you can place the app in quicklaunch widget and if thapp is already linked to open with wine then that should work as well
[15:23] <BluesKaj> just add the quicklaunch to your panel
[15:23] <BluesKaj> then the app to quicklaunch
[15:34] <crow_> When I try to use "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" I get: Unable to resolve dependencies for the upgrade: no solution found. Unable to safely resolve dependencies, try running with --full-resolver.
[15:34] <shadeslayer> crow_: use apt-get
[15:35] <crow_> shadeslayer, can't I solve it with aptitude?
[15:35] <shadeslayer> because it's not supported iirc
[15:35] <shadeslayer> all upgrades are only tested with apt-ge
[15:35] <shadeslayer> *apt-get
[15:36] <crow_> shadeslayer, could there be future problems/inconsistence of the system if I start using apt-get because I've used only aptitude so far?
[15:36] <shadeslayer> shouldn't be
[15:38] <BluesKaj> !aptitude | crow_
[15:40] <crow_> interesting
[15:41] <crow_> and all the comparisons I found online praised aptitude and bashed apt-get
[15:42] <shadeslayer> fanboys :P
[15:43] <BluesKaj> crow_, they must be old reviews , I used aptitude for yrs until 2 yrs ago or so when it became apparent that aptitude could no longer cut it
[15:43] <BluesKaj> was getting dependency errors , until I switched to apt-get
[17:04] <uneivi> i can't update my kde to the last version. When i include the ppa backports to the repository its says  the 404 error. What should i do?
[17:05] <BluesKaj> uneivi, which KDE version
[17:06] <uneivi> i'm using 4.9.1 and trying to upgrade to the last version.
[17:08] <boboso> I would like to know how to get applications to only show on the desktop they are assigned.  I have searched the web but dont seem to be using the correct wording to find this.  I see the setting different widgets on each desktop.
[17:09] <boboso> I am running kubuntu 12.04
[17:09] <BluesKaj> boboso, you might have them set to show on every desktop
[17:11] <boboso> when i right click on it and it shows the 4 desktops the only one checked is desktop 2 so it should only be assinged to the 2nd correct?
[17:17] <BluesKaj> boboso, yes
[17:53] <Daskreech> boboso: Do you mean you want it to always open on Desktop 2 regardless of where you are now?
[18:05] <boboso> Daskreech that is fine but for now I just want it to show on desktop 2 and not the others
[18:06] <Daskreech> boboso: Just move it to desktop 2 and leave it there
[18:06] <boboso> i did but it still shows in the taskbar on all the desktops
[18:06] <boboso> i just want it to show on the taskbar in desktop 2
[18:07] <boboso> thats how i had it in the last version of kubuntu
[18:10] <phoenix_firebrd> hello everyone

[18:36] <renosis> Question: is kubuntu effected by the Amazon search feature?
[18:37] <genii-around> renosis: No, it's a package which is specific to Unity
[18:38] <renosis> genii-around, thank you much
[20:32] <Elesa> Hi, the installer is crashing just after I specify what I want to use my external USB drive's partitions for (/home, /, swap, etc)
[20:33] <BluesKaj> Elesa, is your external drive formatted to ext file system and mounted ?
[20:34] <Elesa> Yes, I had to create the partitions in the KDE Partition Manager since it crashed when I tried to do it via the installer..
[20:37] <BluesKaj> Elesa, does the drive show up in the ubquity's partitioning page ?
[20:37] <Elesa> Yes.
[20:38] <Elesa> I mean, everything works fine until I specify what I want to use each partition for..
[20:42] <BluesKaj> Elesa, using the manual partioning option ?
[20:42] <Elesa> Yes.
[20:43] <BluesKaj>  / is ext4 /home is ext4 etc ?
[20:44] <Elesa> Yes, everything is ext4.
[20:46] <Elesa> Ok, this is weird, I tried it again and set /dev/sdc1 as / but I forgot to click the Format checkbox.
[20:46] <Elesa> So I did it where all the partitions are listed and the installer crashed.
[20:49] <BluesKaj> is / the first partition ?, and make sure it's at least 7G in size
[20:50] <Elesa> Yes, it is 30 G
[20:52] <BluesKaj> 30G is way too large just for an OS under 7-10G is plenty
[20:52] <Elesa> But what if I install a lot of stuff? Is it still enough?
[20:53] <BluesKaj> Elesa, well use 10G then but not 30
[20:54] <Elesa> Ok.
[20:54] <BluesKaj> is this drive a usb or a sata
[20:54] <Elesa> Umm.. I think USB? It's a Seagate FreeAgent Go Flex
[20:55] <BluesKaj> Elesa, did you format the whole drive first then partition it ?
[20:55] <Elesa> I did..
[21:01] <SIR_Taco_> what about pre-formatting the partition, then install without formatting during the install?
[21:02] <Elesa> How do I do that? I don't want to make a mistake and accidentally erase this laptop's hard drive xD
[21:03] <SIR_Taco_> Elesa: are you using a CD/DVD for installation?
[21:03] <Elesa> no, Live USB
[21:04] <SIR_Taco_> Kubuntu 12.04?
[21:05] <Elesa> Yup.
[21:06] <SIR_Taco_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/990464
[21:07] <Elesa> I figured..
[21:07] <SIR_Taco_> seems it's a known issue when installing via live USB
[21:07] <SIR_Taco_> unfortunately
[21:08] <Elesa> This is sad.. a bug in the INSTALLER? Oh well..
[21:09] <Elesa> <333333333333333333
[21:09] <Elesa> Sorry
[21:09] <SIR_Taco_> one user suggested to specify just the root (/) and swap partitions during installation. After install, specify the /home, /etc, and other paritions in the fstab (not an ideal situation)
[21:09] <Elesa> I don't know how to modify fstab D:
[21:12] <SIR_Taco_> Elesa: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1038522/comments/9   maybe try that solution?
[21:16] <Elesa> I did it!
[21:16] <Elesa> I had less partitions this time and it just.. randomly worked. Haha.
[21:16] <Elesa> Thanks for your help, everybody!
[21:17] <SIR_Taco_> good to hear
[21:25] <bjrohan> I have just recently installed 12.10. I think I installed java, however in CHrome in a website I try to use their screencapture tool which I used to get to work, and now it says I don't have Java. Is there somewhere I have to enable it in Chrome (not chromium)
[21:28] <BluesKaj> bjrohan install kubuntu-restricted-extras , it contains the proper java libs and flash required for webpages
[21:29] <bjrohan> How do I do that? A HUGE thank you for your help BluesKaj yesterday. I installed, updated like you said, rebooted 2x, updated via update manager, restored, rebooted, all is working okay
[21:31] <BluesKaj> bjrohan, open a terminal , sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras , make sure you wait for the disclaimer which you have to say yes (y) to
[21:31] <bjrohan> Okay. So not adding an additional software location
[21:33] <BluesKaj> I think you added /enabled those yesterday

[22:10] <Zaken7> hey
[22:15] <Guest45687> i wont to learn speak english
[22:16] <Guest45687> because my english is not very good
[22:17] <backtothetoast> g45678 what is your language?
[22:19] <bjrohan> Hey BluesKaj
[22:21] <bjrohan> I recently installed kubuntu 12.10. previous to this I could do a screencast on a website on Chrome, now since the ugrade I get a message sayin Chrome can't find Java. I did just install the restricted packages, and rebooted, I still get the same error. Any suggestions?
[22:26] <SIR_Taco_> bjrohan: bugs are expected in a development release... there are patches that come down every day
[22:26] <SIR_Taco_> it's still in beta
[22:27] <bjrohan> I am pretty new to Ubuntu, just want to make sure I am not missing something obvious
[22:28] <SIR_Taco_> bjrohan: is the error more specific than "can't find java"? what service are you using to create your screencast?
[22:31] <bjrohan> I don't know. In the private website it gives me an option to upload a video, and one of the 4 ways is to record a screencast. It is a java program built into the site apparently. I do know before the update I would click it, it would tell me my icedtea was outdated, but I could run one time or upgrade. I tried to upgrade, but that didn't resolve, so I would always say use one time
[22:34] <SIR_Taco_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java    It likely wants sun/oracle java.....
[22:34] <SIR_Taco_> assuming that it's directed towards Windows users
[22:39] <bjrohan> Will take a look
