| ScottyK | Greetings! I borked my upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 tonight. When it rebooted, it's stuck at "Checking Battery State". How can I get a command prompt to fix the broken packages? Thanks! | 01:34 |

| G__81 | I have been using KDE as such. I tried Kubuntu and just does not work in my laptop. It boots and it logs in too. The system is completely unusable. I have to wait for 2-3 mts for the start menu to appear | 05:17 |
| G__81 | i am not even able to log out | 05:17 |
| G__81 | my laptop is not the latest one in terms of hw specs but fedora's kde works absolutely fine and hence i dont think its a KDE problem as such | 05:18 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:14 |
| natman | Hi, Just upgraded from Kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. When i click shutdown the computer frezzes at the grey screen with the Kubuntu logo, if i click restart there is no problem | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | natman , best to logout then choose shutdown | 12:28 |
| natman | BluesKaj: ill have to do that from now on? hitting shutdown has worked always before | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, I've had a similar problem , when choosing shutdown , theonly option is "suspend to ram" | 12:31 |
| natman | BluesKaj: eek must admit kinda dissapointed :( | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | it's a minor issue to me ...I'm used to glitches since I do lot of testing , and I'm sure it will fixed soon , you can file bug if you want , natman | 12:34 |
| natman | BluesKaj: ya think i will mind if i ask you a few other things? | 12:34 |
| BluesKaj | ok , I'll help if I can , natman | 12:35 |
| natman | BluesKaj: did my upgrade, so i still seem to have Kopete/Quassle/etc.. am i best to get rid of them in favor of Telepathy/Konversation? | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | dunno about telepathy , i found terribly buggy when trying to open an irc acct , konverstaion is my fav irc client and is solid and easy to setup , quassel is also quite good | 12:38 |
| natman | cool, ya Kopete does what i need it to do, might wait till Telepathy is 1.0 at least :) thanks for the advice BluesKaj | 12:40 |
| BluesKaj | kopete is still solid from all reports , I haven't used it in a while personally | 12:43 |

| phoenix_firebrd | andreas: that is ok, any other? | 14:25 |

| Tm_T | kroson: those dependencies exist because they're needed, I would say. (: | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | kroson, I use synaptic , it brings a few gtk libs but I can live with that ..IMO synaptic is superior | 15:10 |

| OerHeks | .. unless you want the paid games/apps, i presume | 15:12 |
| kroson | BluesKaj: its fine. Muon package manager is a good replacement for synaptic | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | I still prefer synaptic :) | 15:13 |

| maxstyvason | do you think Unetbootin would work better? | 16:56 |
| maxstyvason | I am re-downloading the ISO today if this doesn't work | 16:57 |
| alexfpms | joalland, are're here ? | 16:57 |
| joalland | As i remember, on kubuntu 12.04 the button "add a new language" was present. Is that a "bug" of the latest version ? | 16:57 |
| alexfpms | joalland, try this apt-cache search kde-l10n-fr | 16:57 |
| alexfpms | joalland, try this: sudo apt-get install kde-l10n-fr i mean | 16:57 |
| maxstyvason | sudo apt-get install language-selector-kde | 16:58 |
| maxstyvason | Kubuntu is missing parts of KDE | 16:59 |
| maxstyvason | alternatively you can download the french iso | 16:59 |

| joalland | Ok thank's | 17:00 |
| joalland | In fact the french communauty only deserve a french iso of Ubuntu | 17:01 |

| maxstyvason | joalland, the main Ubuntu distribution has it's own french iso | 17:02 |
| maxstyvason | http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/ | 17:02 |
| maxstyvason | but its Unity | 17:02 |
| joalland | yes i know. | 17:03 |
| joalland | I thaught you said an iso with ubuntu in french + KDE | 17:03 |
| WalterN | well... here comes my issue :P | 17:03 |
| maxstyvason | right install Ubuntu-fr, then sudo apt-get install Kubuntu-desktop | 17:04 |
| WalterN | so... installed 12.10 and everything seems fine when my three displays are mirrored, or two of the three are turned off... but when running two or three screens video is extremely sluggish, and I get this nasty looking error in xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/1rxcHM5y | 17:04 |
| maxstyvason | it should simply install KDE in your localized language | 17:04 |
| maxstyvason | WalterN, are you running an nvidia card? | 17:04 |

| joalland | yes, it should work. | 17:05 |
| === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna | ||

| yofel | something's wrong with the language settings in quantal o.O | 17:05 |

| maxstyvason | WalterN, ah http://askubuntu.com/questions/202574/desktop-does-not-show-when-i-installed-nvidia-drivers | 17:06 |
| yofel | well, there was some translation setup rework in Quantal. So maybe something got broken along the way | 17:06 |
| maxstyvason | MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL the Kernel | 17:06 |
| maxstyvason | idk why you have to | 17:06 |
| maxstyvason | but then re-install the amd drivers | 17:06 |
| WalterN | what? why.. I dont have an NVIDIA card... | 17:06 |
| maxstyvason | its not just an nvidia issue | 17:06 |
| maxstyvason | its cannonical being fucking retarded | 17:07 |
| WalterN | my video card is an AMD radeon HD6870 | 17:07 |
| maxstyvason | I am getting a 7000 so I wont have such issues | 17:07 |
| maxstyvason | I cant wait for trinity | 17:07 |
| WalterN | oh, lets see | 17:07 |
| maxstyvason | it sucks I know | 17:07 |
| WalterN | wayland looks like it will be interesting | 17:07 |
| IdleOne | maxstyvason: please keep the language clean | 17:08 |
| maxstyvason | the kernel doesn't get pulled during the driver installation so it doesn't get fully compiled | 17:08 |
| maxstyvason | sorry IdleOne | 17:08 |
| maxstyvason | WalterN, as a developer of wayland it is still very early | 17:08 |
| maxstyvason | you should steer clear of it for a couple years | 17:08 |
| WalterN | hehe | 17:08 |
| WalterN | it still looks interesting | 17:09 |
| maxstyvason | its being heavily worked on but the fact remains, xorg has 30 years of development, this has 5 | 17:09 |
| WalterN | does it incorporate ray tracing? | 17:09 |
| maxstyvason | its nowhere near ready or feature complete | 17:09 |
| maxstyvason | crudely | 17:09 |
| WalterN | thats... a lot cool | 17:09 |
| WalterN | kind of | 17:10 |
| maxstyvason | its very unstable | 17:10 |
| WalterN | sure | 17:10 |
| WalterN | so what am I looking at here? | 17:10 |
| maxstyvason | All the buzz is distributions looking to shed xorg | 17:10 |
| WalterN | oh, the closed source drivers... where is that? | 17:10 |
| maxstyvason | they generate it | 17:10 |
| maxstyvason | the closed source drivers should be in additional hardware | 17:11 |
| maxstyvason | clutter support is now complete, efl is complete, qt5 us fully supported | 17:12 |
| maxstyvason | we really won't have any focus on gtk | 17:12 |
| WalterN | dont see 'additional hardware' :-/ | 17:12 |
| WalterN | hmm | 17:12 |
| maxstyvason | its supported but our focus is with KDE | 17:12 |

| maxstyvason | 99.999999% of Linux applications are x applications | 17:13 |
| maxstyvason | download the amd driver .run | 17:14 |
| maxstyvason | cd ~Downloads | 17:14 |
| WalterN | oh, its in the software sources area | 17:14 |
| maxstyvason | chmod 777 "file.run" where filename is the file | 17:14 |
| maxstyvason | yes | 17:15 |
| maxstyvason | if its not there you need to install it manually | 17:15 |

| maxstyvason | ./ file.run | 17:15 |
| alexfpms | maxstyvason, nope, linux is a kernel. X application are the graphical ones | 17:15 |
| WalterN | it says its using the Xorg opensource drivers... | 17:15 |
| maxstyvason | where "file" replace with amd driver name | 17:15 |
| maxstyvason | alexfpms, my point is valid | 17:16 |
| maxstyvason | stop being a dbag | 17:16 |
| maxstyvason | use closed source drivers but make sure you install linux headers | 17:16 |
| alexfpms | maxstyvason, but it is far from 99.99999% | 17:16 |
| maxstyvason | name 10 linux applications that are widely used that dont require xorg | 17:17 |
| maxstyvason | sudo apt-get install linux-source | 17:17 |
| maxstyvason | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic | 17:17 |
| maxstyvason | THEN install the drivers | 17:17 |
| maxstyvason | dont install them until afterwards | 17:17 |
| maxstyvason | for some reason they don't get pulled | 17:18 |
| alexfpms | maxstyvason, every terminal app don't use x at all | 17:18 |
| WalterN | erm... the closed source drivers.. meh | 17:18 |
| maxstyvason | alexfpms, I am unaware of terminal applications that desktop users will want and need | 17:18 |
| WalterN | I'm going to try a different window manager first | 17:18 |
| maxstyvason | dude its not KDE lmao | 17:18 |
| maxstyvason | but whatever waste your time | 17:18 |
| maxstyvason | if your drivers are fail, no amount of software driven DEs will fix graphics lag | 17:19 |
| alexfpms | maxstyvason, under linux most of GUI apps are juste the wrappers for the command line tools | 17:19 |
| maxstyvason | every graphics intensive application you try to run be it movies, flash videos, etc will be slow | 17:20 |
| maxstyvason | alexfpms, you still havent named me any | 17:20 |
| WalterN | flash seems to run fine | 17:20 |
| WalterN | all 2D stuff seems to run fine | 17:20 |
| maxstyvason | yes because your 3D driver sucks | 17:20 |
| maxstyvason | with trinity cards it doesnt suck | 17:20 |
| WalterN | sure | 17:20 |
| maxstyvason | but you NEED fglrx | 17:21 |
| maxstyvason | your card is the last FGLRX card | 17:21 |
| maxstyvason | everything after the 6000 series is trinity | 17:21 |
| maxstyvason | sell your card and get a 7k card | 17:21 |
| maxstyvason | if you NEED it to be FOSS | 17:21 |
| WalterN | s/need/prefer/ | 17:22 |
| maxstyvason | right | 17:22 |
| maxstyvason | I am with you | 17:22 |
| maxstyvason | trinity oss support is superb | 17:22 |
| maxstyvason | amd couldnt legally release the source code of fglrx because of ties it has with other companies | 17:22 |
| maxstyvason | dnr and all | 17:23 |
| maxstyvason | hense the new chipset | 17:23 |
| WalterN | rlly | 17:23 |
| maxstyvason | why do you think torvalds is pissed at nvidia | 17:23 |
| WalterN | I think everyone is that has to do with video drivers and linux | 17:24 |
| maxstyvason | amd when releasing their new chip went open source and nvidia had the chance to but didnt | 17:24 |
| maxstyvason | amd's trinity chip on their 7k cards is smooth as ice with the oss trinity drivers | 17:24 |
| maxstyvason | check phoronix | 17:25 |
| maxstyvason | they made some serious benchmarks | 17:25 |
| maxstyvason | they had trinity on their processors and needed something on their graphics cards that wasnt tied down by licensing | 17:26 |
| maxstyvason | so they recycled trinity with their 7k cards | 17:26 |
| maxstyvason | im sitting on an nvidia card and the performance is sweet don't get me wrong | 17:27 |
| maxstyvason | but my next card will be amd | 17:27 |

| === max___ is now known as maxstyvason | ||
| maxstyvason | dude just hooked a second monitor up to my computer and I can have 2 different desktop modes on each monitor | 18:38 |
| maxstyvason | thats so hot | 18:38 |
| maxstyvason | every oher os and DE can't do what KDE does | 18:39 |
| WalterN | so it was the unity window manager... its much happier now with Xfce :P | 18:43 |
| maxstyvason | WalterN: you didnt say you were on Unity | 18:44 |
| maxstyvason | I assumed you were on KDE | 18:44 |
| maxstyvason | no bro dont use Unity anything but Unity | 18:44 |
| WalterN | I dont really like KDE that much :-x | 18:44 |
| maxstyvason | have you seen what it can do with multiple displays? | 18:44 |
| maxstyvason | you can have seperate desktop modes on each individual display | 18:45 |
| maxstyvason | not to mention oob support for application stretching | 18:45 |
| maxstyvason | but because someone told you KDE was bad you can go on assuming forever that it is | 18:46 |
| WalterN | Kubuntu was my first linux install ever | 18:46 |
| WalterN | I just prefer the Xfce feel more :P | 18:46 |
| maxstyvason | also if you have multiple users, you can login on each display with different user accounts at the same time | 18:47 |
| maxstyvason | so go on using sub par DEs | 18:47 |
| WalterN | gnome2 was really nice... while it existed.. Xfce is basically like old gnome these days | 18:47 |
| maxstyvason | gnome 2 sucked | 18:47 |
| maxstyvason | gnome 2 treated its users like they were retarded | 18:47 |
| maxstyvason | same with unity and gnome shell | 18:48 |
| maxstyvason | minimize is too confusing | 18:48 |
| maxstyvason | want to create a launcher to an app on Unity? forget it | 18:48 |
| maxstyvason | any and all GTK des are simply sub par in terms of features and usability | 18:49 |
| maxstyvason | you should really try Kubuntu 12.10 with kde 4.9.2 even if off of a thumb drive | 18:49 |
| FlyingElvis | <loves kubuntu 12.10 | 18:50 |
| === david is now known as Guest75273 | ||
| FlyingElvis | it sure beats unity thats for sure | 18:50 |
| maxstyvason | or continue living oblivious, shit you should buy a mac if you like living the walled garden experience where they shun any sort of real innovation | 18:50 |
| maxstyvason | at least OS X works | 18:50 |
| maxstyvason | friends dont let friends use gnome | 18:51 |
| FlyingElvis | cmon kde+the cube(i dont care what ya say about it, it is eye candy that is helpful) | 18:52 |
| maxstyvason | FlyingElvis: its KDE, when KDE 5 comes out with Qt5, and Plasma Active 3, your mind will be completely blown | 18:52 |
| FlyingElvis | whens that gonna be | 18:52 |
| maxstyvason | soon | 18:52 |
| WalterN | compiz, at least in the past, basically didnt work because of video driver fail | 18:53 |
| maxstyvason | Plasma Active 3 was just released | 18:53 |
| FlyingElvis | next release cycle? | 18:53 |
| maxstyvason | Qt5 is done | 18:53 |
| WalterN | maybe its fine now | 18:53 |
| maxstyvason | Plasma Workspaces Platform 5 will be done by January | 18:53 |
| maxstyvason | which is the full KDE experience | 18:54 |
| maxstyvason | one thing I hope they work on next is removing libreoffice from Kubuntu | 18:55 |
| maxstyvason | Calligra is 100x better | 18:55 |
| WalterN | installing my happy program things | 18:58 |
| WalterN | like inkscape <3 | 18:58 |
| FlyingElvis | calligra? never heard of it...is it in the repos? | 19:03 |
| maxstyvason | yes | 19:04 |
| maxstyvason | its KDE's office suite | 19:04 |
| maxstyvason | krita is more advanced than gimp and everything | 19:04 |
| FlyingElvis | really....and why isnt it default...ok ill check this out then | 19:05 |
| maxstyvason | because stupid Ubuntu devs didnt care about Kubuntu development and currently the development thing is "go with whats most popular" | 19:05 |
| kbroulik | is there a fix for the stupid mesa bugs in sight? | 19:06 |
| maxstyvason | they still dont want Kubuntu being developed because it makes Unity look bad | 19:06 |
| FlyingElvis | seriously...kubuntu is the shining version of buntu right now...that unity in 12.10 is just god awful | 19:06 |
| maxstyvason | not to mention it records your activity and actively uploads it to Amazon | 19:07 |
| maxstyvason | they are selling your info | 19:07 |
| maxstyvason | ;) | 19:07 |
| FlyingElvis | i about puked when i loaded up ubuntu 12.10 and saw that amazon launcher in the bar...and the ads in the hud didnt help either | 19:07 |
| oneadvent | maxstyvason: krita you say? i'm gonna look into it | 19:07 |
| maxstyvason | part of calligra | 19:07 |
| oneadvent | lol FlyingElvis me too! | 19:07 |
| maxstyvason | sudo apt-get install calligra | 19:07 |
| FlyingElvis | and that will get me the whole suite? | 19:07 |
| oneadvent | humph programs i didn't know i had | 19:07 |
| maxstyvason | yes | 19:08 |
| maxstyvason | its so much better than libreoffice in every way, kalc works with Microsoft Excel programmed things | 19:10 |
| maxstyvason | cant remember the damn wordf | 19:10 |
| maxstyvason | damn seizures | 19:10 |
| maxstyvason | I just had the word too | 19:10 |
| maxstyvason | where you create a thing that you can use over and over again for multiple purposes | 19:11 |
| maxstyvason | fuck whats that word | 19:11 |
| IdleOne | maxstyvason: Going to ask nice one more time. Please mind your language | 19:11 |
| maxstyvason | I would if I could remember words | 19:12 |
| IdleOne | This is not an optional, only watch it when you feel like it thing. | 19:12 |
| FlyingElvis | ok...libre is now uninstalled and calligra is installed | 19:12 |
| maxstyvason | macros | 19:12 |
| maxstyvason | man wow | 19:12 |
| maxstyvason | im having an off day | 19:12 |
| maxstyvason | you can use excel macros in calligra | 19:13 |
| maxstyvason | something libreoffice is still unable to do in all it's glory | 19:13 |
| maxstyvason | IdleOne: oh you meant cussing sorry | 19:13 |
| yofel | maxstyvason: calligra has some bugs and usability issues on it's own - Quantal has libreoffice as default as it's more tested. I have high hopes for calligra 2.6 though | 19:13 |
| maxstyvason | its more popular | 19:13 |
| maxstyvason | not necessarily better | 19:14 |
| maxstyvason | the bugs 2.5 has are minor and 2.6 is slated soon | 19:14 |
| yofel | it's what people are used to, and unless we have something considerably better it's not easy to get people to switch | 19:14 |
| oneadvent | i'm slowly making the switch to calligra, used to hate the interface but it has grown on me | 19:14 |
| FlyingElvis | i love amarok...so much better than rthymbox | 19:14 |
| maxstyvason | we are, it works with office documents oob | 19:14 |
| yofel | sure, 2.5 nice, but just not quite there yet | 19:14 |
| FlyingElvis | only beef i have with amarok is how it handles internet radio streams | 19:15 |
| oneadvent | i dont get its radio station thing. if it stops there is no "restart" option | 19:16 |
| maxstyvason | working with macros oob and having support for docx oob, and properly aligning office docs across the board (not just word) is enough to work with it | 19:16 |
| maxstyvason | ive never had the radio stop on me | 19:16 |
| maxstyvason | last.fm itself is crap | 19:16 |
| oneadvent | well i had internet go out on me one day and it took an act of congress to get the station back going | 19:17 |
| maxstyvason | but its plugin friendly so you can use anything out there | 19:17 |
| FlyingElvis | the streams themselves run fine for me...it is how hard it is to "save" them | 19:17 |
| maxstyvason | really? you couldnt restart the app? | 19:17 |
| maxstyvason | yeah I use a ripping app | 19:17 |
| oneadvent | i didn't want to lose the station though, so i didn't want to restart | 19:18 |
| maxstyvason | kaudiocreator | 19:18 |
| oneadvent | or *gasp* remember the name! | 19:18 |
| maxstyvason | right | 19:18 |
| maxstyvason | I have all mine written down and taped to my second mnonitor | 19:18 |
| FlyingElvis | my fave internet radio station is Venice Classical Radio Italia | 19:18 |
| maxstyvason | but kaudiocreator is nice for ripping talk shows | 19:19 |
| FlyingElvis | i have it playing right now | 19:19 |
| FlyingElvis | is there a website that lists all the kde programs? | 19:19 |
| FlyingElvis | im sorta new to kubuntu | 19:19 |
| oneadvent | kde-apps has some good links | 19:19 |
| maxstyvason | omg dude welcome to what you have been missing on Linux | 19:20 |
| maxstyvason | KDE has all the best apps | 19:21 |
| FlyingElvis | it is seeming that way | 19:21 |
| maxstyvason | I really dont understand why people continue working fruitlessly on gtk based desktops and apps | 19:22 |
| maxstyvason | kdenlive is almost as good as final cut | 19:22 |
| maxstyvason | not final cut pro but the basic version of final cut | 19:22 |
| TSK | kdenlive has improved DRASTICALLY since it's early days. It's become an entirely worthy app these days. | 19:24 |
| maxstyvason | its better than final cut express sadly lol | 19:24 |
| oneadvent | ok been playing with krita, but i seem to be missing an export to pdf option, any ideas | 19:25 |
| oneadvent | nevermind | 19:25 |
| oneadvent | i just can't read apparently | 19:25 |
| TSK | Honestly, Linux in general has improved by leaps and bounds this past decade. I find I don't even need Windows in a virtual machine anymore. 99.9% of what I ever need to do on a computer anymore comes in native Linux flavors, and what little does not runs fine in WINE. :) | 19:28 |
| FlyingElvis | ^^ | 19:28 |
| oneadvent | except ie testing :( | 19:28 |
| FlyingElvis | i dont have a computer in my house running windows | 19:28 |
| oneadvent | or a good msn client | 19:28 |
| FlyingElvis | wife and daughter both run ubuntu, i run kubuntu | 19:29 |
| oneadvent | trying to get my wife on kubuntu | 19:29 |
| TSK | I pretty much ignore IE these days. If I create a website to standards and it don't display right in IE, I advise folk to upgrade to a modern browser. ;) | 19:29 |
| oneadvent | that works if you are little stuff i gues TSK, but that wont work in the real world | 19:30 |
| oneadvent | you have to support it, sorry that is just reality | 19:30 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hello, everybody. Been a long time. :) | 19:30 |
| TSK | oneadvent: Actually, I've turned down web design jobs lately because folks insisted on modern web designs, then insisted on pixel perfect compatibility with IE6. | 19:31 |
| TSK | It's simply INSANE to expect that at any kinda realistic pay scale. | 19:31 |
| oneadvent | yea i'll agree ie6 support isn't needed. | 19:31 |
| oneadvent | but ie8 and ie9 is | 19:32 |
| WalterN | IE... should just die | 19:32 |
| TSK | I'm willing to work around the occasional bug in IE8 and 9 to get a site looking mostly proper, but I refuse to spend 90% of my development time using horrid hacks and other insanity in an attempt to achieve an impossibility for someone who totally misunderstands how the web works. | 19:33 |
| WalterN | it does not support SVG properly still | 19:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Well, well.... darkwing.... | 19:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | IE8 is OK, but I hate IE9. | 19:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Agreed, WalterN | 19:33 |
| oneadvent | :D i'm not defending it, but it is reality | 19:33 |
| oneadvent | the problem is there is no way to test without virtual machines | 19:33 |
| oneadvent | so you can't webdev without virtual machines is the end of my story | 19:34 |
| WalterN | wine is not an emulator :P | 19:34 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I personally support either Mozilla FF or Opera. | 19:34 |
| oneadvent | not even close on ie9 WalterN | 19:34 |
| TSK | WINE rules | 19:34 |
| oneadvent | wine has come a long way, was thinking of doing a talk about it sometime in our local lug | 19:35 |
| WalterN | firefox is great... I love having a bazillion tabs open with firefox.. typically keep ~50-60 open at all times :3 | 19:35 |
| FlyingElvis | chrome :) | 19:35 |
| TSK | oneadvent: Actually, BTW, there are webservices that can test a web page | 19:35 |
| TSK | In a variety of browsers | 19:35 |
| WalterN | chrome still does not have tab grouping | 19:35 |
| oneadvent | not javascript errors TSK | 19:35 |
| oneadvent | and not the level of visual a true web guy needs | 19:35 |
| oneadvent | again if it is small time sure, but the site i work on is used by every single school in florida | 19:36 |
| TSK | Honestly I've never had troubles with javascript. Mebbe I've just been lucky. I tend to rely on jquery rather heavily tho. | 19:36 |
| oneadvent | think about that base | 19:36 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm not impressed with Chrome. I actually don't like it. | 19:36 |
| oneadvent | +1 jquery, love it | 19:36 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It's fast, yes, but it lacks so much. | 19:36 |
| oneadvent | eh i use chrome, i'm not a heavy USER on the net, just like maybe 10 different sites | 19:37 |
| TSK | I'ma huge Firefox fan personally. Even use it on my Droid. | 19:37 |
| oneadvent | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=25 | 19:38 |
| oneadvent | guess i could use ie3 | 19:38 |
| oneadvent | lol | 19:38 |
| LINKSWORD2 | LMAO | 19:38 |
| oneadvent | i use ff for dev stuff cause firebug is awesome but that is about it | 19:38 |
| TSK | Firebug IS awesome, no doubt about that | 19:38 |
| === paolo is now known as faLUCE | ||
| TSK | There's a lite version available for other browsers BTW. :) | 19:39 |
| TSK | https://getfirebug.com/firebuglite | 19:39 |
| FlyingElvis | on firefox...for tab grouping...do you use that tab mix plus addon? | 19:40 |
| TSK | I personally use the built in Firefox tab grouping these days, tho I used to LOVE TabMix Plus at one time. | 19:40 |
| LINKSWORD2 | That was fun. Connection died. | 19:43 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hey guys, I have a bizarre question.. | 19:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I've got a Kubuntu ISO on a CD, and I need to build a bootable USB key for my friend's netbook. | 19:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I have limited download speed, so I'm looking for any program available that could let me copy the image from the cd to the usb. | 19:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Otherwise, I'd wind up spending 9 hours downloading a fresh installation of Kubuntu. | 19:48 |
| WalterN | what is this when I go to websites and stuff it says something like "would you like to install facebook messenger for quicker access"? | 19:48 |
| LINKSWORD2 | One word for that: Spam. | 19:49 |
| yofel | LINKSWORD2: I would try to dd the CD contents onto the flash drive | 19:51 |
| BluesKaj | WalterN, that's not a kubuntu question , b ut if you don't want it don't click on it | 19:51 |
| yofel | LINKSWORD2: I'm not sure if that works though, never tried that | 19:51 |
| WalterN | I think its a firefox thing? | 19:51 |
| LINKSWORD2 | yofel, how would I do that? | 19:51 |
| WalterN | not sure | 19:51 |
| yofel | LINKSWORD2: 'sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/sdb' - if sr0 is your CD drive, and sdb is your flash drive | 19:52 |
| yofel | just make sure that latter is really where you want | 19:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I don't suppose I can do that if I'm running Kubuntu from the CD drive? | 19:52 |
| BluesKaj | WalterN, it's a facebook thing , that's one of the mozilla revenue creatores | 19:52 |
| yofel | LINKSWORD2: hm, should be possible as long as the drive still appears in /dev/ | 19:53 |
| WalterN | BluesKaj: its not just facebook though, same kind of thing with youtube and one other one | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | facebook pay firefox | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | pays | 19:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hey BluesKaj :) | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | hi LINKSWORD2 | 19:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | yofel, if I can't do that, do you know any other way? (I do have Windows 7 on my pc.) | 19:54 |
| yofel | LINKSWORD2: if anything already mounted drives would be a problem, but as a CD is read-only anyway it should work | 19:54 |
| yofel | LINKSWORD2: well, try to image the CD (i.e. make an .iso out of it again) and then try unetbootin or how that's called | 19:54 |
| yofel | there's tools for windows to create cd images out in the net | 19:55 |

| Sector7 | Hello everyone. | 21:15 |
| brisko125 | Hi everyone ! | 21:16 |
| brisko125 | Not installed Kubuntu 12.10 yet but any experience / comment about upnp / dlna support within this new version ? | 21:19 |
| mparillo | I got a strange set of warnings on kdesudo that I never remembered seeing before: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1296175/ | 21:30 |
| oneadvent | brisko125: i'm curious on this too | 21:30 |
| oneadvent | hey mparillo i tried it | 21:33 |
| oneadvent | http://paste2.org/p/2364138 | 21:33 |
| oneadvent | no problems | 21:33 |
| mparillo | oneadvent: So you got similar warnings, but kdesudo seemed to work anyway? It did for me also. In Ubuntu Docs (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo) they warn you against simple sudo to run a graphical program from your Konsole. | 21:36 |
| oneadvent | yea kdesudo is the right way to do it, i dont think the errors are problems really though so long as it works | 21:38 |
| === Breadflour is now known as Dreadtower | ||
| mparillo | Thank you, oneadvent. makes me feel a bit better. Do you think it is worth opening a bug in Launchpad for those warnings. | 21:40 |
| Snowhog | oneadvent: Normal when launching a gui app from the console with kdesudo. | 21:40 |
| oneadvent | http://paste2.org/p/2364160 | 21:40 |
| oneadvent | without kdesudo | 21:40 |
| oneadvent | i would assume most of those errors come from kate running as root and not being setup right (cause root isn't configured as a user) | 21:40 |
| oneadvent | i don't really think it is a bug if it works. I bet if you signed in as root (enabled the account) and set up everything your errors would go away for the most part (like the second paste) | 21:42 |
| mparillo | OK, thank you again. | 21:43 |
| oneadvent | no problem, happy kde-ing mparillo | 21:43 |
| brisko125 | oneadvent: in fact I was just wondering which version of libhupnp0 was packaged within 12.10 | 21:46 |

| mgottschlag | hey, anybody can help me with network problems in 12.10? dns is not working at all unless I put a different dns server into /etc/resolv.conf | 22:40 |
| mgottschlag | not only with the updated installed kubuntu version, but right now also within the live cd session | 22:40 |
| mgottschlag | I am connecting to the internet via wlan, atheros chipset | 22:41 |
| oneadvent | so why not just have a different dns? | 22:41 |
| mgottschlag | I'd prefer to get my dns via NetworkManager/DHCP, especially when I am in a different environment like university with intranet nameserver etc :) | 22:42 |
| mgottschlag | that is how it always worked, now I need to enter a static IP there? | 22:42 |
| === shumski is now known as shumski_away | ||
| mgottschlag | I am seeing lots of forum posts in the internet with people complaining about 12.10, but no explanation anywhere, only some hints towards changes in how dns works now | 22:44 |
| oneadvent | i hear ya, just trying to figure out the problem/requirement mgottschlag. makes sense now. you could use something like opendns which works everywhere. I did not have those issues with my nm | 22:44 |
| oneadvent | maybe there is a problem pulling it for some reason on your routers side | 22:45 |
| mgottschlag | that is what I am looking into right now, let me restart the router, brb - it used to work 3 hours ago before I started the update though | 22:46 |
| mgottschlag | alright, seems to be resolved, wtf | 22:47 |
| oneadvent | :D sweet | 22:48 |
| mgottschlag | my router seems to have some known dns relay issues, and kubuntu was the victim of some seriously bad timing :) | 22:51 |
| mgottschlag | thx oneadvent | 22:51 |

| carter | what do i do in the terminal? | 22:59 |
| oneadvent | trying it here right now | 22:59 |
| oneadvent | should be able to type something like "flightgear" and get some useful information about why it wont work | 22:59 |
| carter | i just typed flightgear and it said bad command | 23:00 |
| oneadvent | sorry back and forth from the kitchen | 23:02 |
| oneadvent | i'm installing it, and i can tell you exactly when it is done but generally you can right click on the "k" and click edit applications, find the game in the menu on the left on and click on it, on the right it will tell you the command to use | 23:03 |
| carter | right click on what k? | 23:04 |
| oneadvent | the menu bar? | 23:05 |
| oneadvent | the "start menu" | 23:05 |

| oneadvent | the "k" meant start menu | 23:06 |
| carter | ohh gotchya | 23:07 |

| oneadvent | and see which one has a green dot | 23:16 |
| carter | where do i search at | 23:17 |
| oneadvent | in the start menu at the top | 23:17 |
| carter | under accesories | 23:18 |
| oneadvent | no | 23:19 |
| oneadvent | just click the start menu and start typing | 23:20 |
| oneadvent | applications -> settings | 23:20 |
| carter | im using linux 10.04 is that what you have? | 23:21 |
| oneadvent | nope, i'm all up to date at 12.10 | 23:21 |
| oneadvent | so your results may vary | 23:21 |
| oneadvent | there is a lot to google about that error | 23:22 |
| carter | alright idk if im gonna even worry with it | 23:22 |
| cini | is there embedded firewall in kubuntu? | 23:23 |
| oneadvent | truly i would google it carter, you will probably find a lot of other good suggestions, but at bare minimum i'd investigate that driver thing | 23:24 |
| oneadvent | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 23:24 |
| oneadvent | make sure you are up to date. | 23:24 |
| oneadvent | and cini no i do not believe so | 23:24 |

| Snowhog | oneadvent: Kubuntu, like Ubuntu, comes with UFW (Ubuntu Firewall), but it isn't active by default. | 23:26 |
| oneadvent | Snowhog: alrighty, i just knew i never had to deal with it :D | 23:33 |
| Snowhog | oneadvent: Kubuntu is secure enough that it doesn't really need to be used. | 23:35 |
| oneadvent | well plus who doesn't have a router | 23:37 |
| BarkingFish | Morning guys. Anyone know what the heck has happened to KDE, and why KDM no longer works when I use it as default DM please? | 23:41 |
| BarkingFish | LightDM's greeter sucks nuts, and I want to switch back to KDM. But - with KDM on, VLC doesn't work (no connection to pulseaudio, no xvideo available), and numerous other apps, including gimp and dragon video don't work either. | 23:42 |
| almoxarife | BarkingFish: which dm was installed first? | 23:49 |
| BarkingFish | lightdm was installed when I upgraded to 12.10 - I had KDM in precise | 23:50 |
| almoxarife | BarkingFish: is kdm is installed ? | 23:50 |
| BarkingFish | not now, no. I removed it when it didn't work. | 23:51 |
| BarkingFish | I can put it back if you like, if you can tell me how to get it to function :) | 23:51 |
| almoxarife | BarkingFish: lets assume you completely un-installed kdm then, have you tried to install it since? | 23:52 |
| BarkingFish | i've just put it back on this very second | 23:53 |
| almoxarife | BarkingFish: not no used it yet? | 23:53 |
| BarkingFish | i've noticed it's taken over as the default dm for Kubuntu, almoxarife - if I try to uninstall lightDM, it tries to take kubuntu-desktop off with it. | 23:53 |
| BarkingFish | almoxarife, no, not yet | 23:54 |
| almoxarife | BarkingFish: did you choose it as the dm already? | 23:54 |
| BarkingFish | no | 23:54 |
| BarkingFish | I have lightdm right now | 23:54 |
| almoxarife | BarkingFish: if you tried to un-install lightdm without another dm to take its place things may go haywire, don't do it | 23:55 |
| Snowhog | BarkingFish: You have to 'install' kdm then run dpkg-reconfigure kdm and choose kdm as the default. Don't remove lightdm. | 23:56 |
| Belial` | is there a way to install icons for use in gtk applications and set them with gtk-configuration? | 23:56 |
| Belial` | when i pick from the drop down menu in icons theme, i don't my system installed icons for kde. | 23:57 |
| BarkingFish | Snowhog, ah. That's the way round it. | 23:57 |
| Snowhog | BarkingFish: See http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?57401-Lightdm-KDE&p=288232&viewfull=1#post288232 | 23:58 |
| BarkingFish | I tried to simply select kdm as the default when the chooser popped up, and it wouldn't work | 23:58 |
| Snowhog | BarkingFish: That's because KDM isn't installed. | 23:58 |
| BarkingFish | Snowhog, that's just it - when I tried that, it was | 23:59 |
