dougtheslugI have noticed that a few applications on Kubuntu have some issues displaying text... it looks choppy, and shifted slightly up and down02:13
dougtheslugChromium and the GUI installer for Dropbox are the two I can remember, here are screen shots: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ahnzxreo82timf0/3_z79y3ylP02:13
xixordougtheslug: no idea.  Do you have fonts-freefont-ttf, ttf-dejavu-extra, fontconfig, fontconfig-config installed?02:17
xixoralso libfreetype6, ttf-mscorefonts-installer, ttf-ubuntu-font-family?  I'm just going through muon and checking which font packages I installed... I installed a bunch  when I first installed 12.1002:18
dougtheslugxixor: I am only missing ttf-dejavu-extra, the rest say they are installed in muon...02:20
dougtheslugI guess restart and see if i still have the issue?02:20
dougtheslug*after installing?02:20
xixoryeah, I guess02:21
dougtheslugxixor: hmm, chrome still has the issue, and the dropbox context menu for the tray icon has the same issue...02:25
dougtheslugmaybe I need to configure something in the system settings?02:25

noaXesshey.. checkout this, can you explain? why are cpu ussage in system monitor and top different? here for apport-kde http://wstaw.org/m/2012/10/31/plasma-desktopdJ3323.png06:41
msxnoaXess: don't be misguided by the graphical sysmon07:13
msxit, by itself, consumes more resources and isn't as accurate as console apps07:14
noaXessmsx: jep i think so..07:14
noaXessi'm searchingfor a simple widget, that shows top ;)07:14
msxnoaXess: top or htop (preferible the first) are your best friends, anything else is kiddy/windows stuff07:14
noaXessso i don't need everytime open konsole07:14
msxdo you know conky?07:14
noaXessconky? no..07:15
noaXessis it a widget?07:15
msxno, something better ;)07:15
msxdo you know yakuake?07:15
noaXessmsx: okee... let me know ;?07:15
noaXessmsx: this one http://conky.sourceforge.net/, right?07:17
msxnoaXess: let me c...07:18
msxnoaXess: btw, this is how i check top, i have it running all the time in a konsole in yakuake and since i do all my administrative stuff from console i use a lot yakuake (i would say i use it even more than any other graphical app except web browsers) - indeed i'm connected to irc with weechat now, a console/terminal client...07:20
msxnoaXess: yes, that is07:20
msxnoaXess: now check at deviantart or google images for conky and it will rock you up, trust me :) conky's great07:21
msxnoaXess: for a quick cpu usage monitoring i use an applet called "System Load Viewer" by Matthew Dawson, I don't know if it's already available in Kubuntu, do an apt-cache search07:24

foodI am trying to install kde 4.9 on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. Should i add this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to sources.list?07:30
noaXessfood: why not installing 12.10?07:31
almoxarifefood: yes07:31
foodnoaXess, for stability07:31
noaXessfood: hm.. 12.10 is stable enough for me and i use it all the day..07:32
noaXessbut if you need 12.04.. let me check07:32
foodthanks07:32
almoxarifefood: realistically you would be better off with the 12.10 as it is lts, but as you please07:32
noaXessfood: checkout this info: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.9.207:32
noaXessfood: so your info is correct.. add backports and update/upgrade07:33
almoxarifefood: once you have that ppa updated then you can expect something like a 640meg d/l07:33
foodThanks for confirmation07:33
foodOne more question , I want to remove the Unity-Gnome Completely ...07:34
foodCan you help?07:34
noaXessfood: wait..07:35
almoxarifefood: there is a longwinded sudo apt-get remove line that will do it, google it07:37
almoxarifefood: getting back to pure ????????? <-- google that07:38
foodheh Gnome is sucks07:38
noaXessalmoxarife: yes.. eralier i found a website where alle the comands are on.. from ubuntu to kubuntu, back to ubuntu.. and xubuntu.. and so on..07:38
foodnot going back soon though07:38
noaXesscan't find it.. :(07:38
almoxarifefood: insure you have a viable desktop before you do it07:39
noaXessfood: be shure to have konsole access, maybe over ssh07:39
almoxarifehttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekubuntu <- food07:40
noaXessGOT IT... psychocats ;) LOL YES07:40
noaXesshttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekubuntu07:40
noaXessha.. almoxarife good teamwork07:40
food 32bit ubuntu just freeze if it is idle for few hours. Maybe bug on kernel, xorg or other things.07:40
almoxarife:) , google and google-it are my friends07:40
foodah07:41
noaXessha and i had it in my favorites.. but to many favorites ;) LOL07:41
almoxarifenoaXess: you need onboard google, 'recoll'07:42
foodalmoxarife, which is the minimal install (not third party software) ...07:42
noaXessalmoxarife: okey..07:42
foodI am reading this http://askubuntu.com/questions/153036/how-do-i-install-only-the-kde-desktop-and-not-apps-on-unity07:42
almoxarifefood: qtrazor/razor-qt?07:42
almoxarifefood: razor runs kde apps, so all the hard work is already done once kde is on the platform07:43
noaXessalmoxarife: maybe i just to open my eays and realize that my bookmarks folder "linux" has a subfolder called "ubuntu" HEHE..07:43
almoxarifenoaXess: i was able to forget where anything was once i had 'recoll' setup correctly07:44
foodOkay, First installing KDE then removing gnome!07:44
noaXessfood: yea.. install kubuntu-desktop should do the job.. and then remove with comamnd fomr psychocats07:45
almoxarifefood: you want to insure you can login to it first,07:45
foodokay07:45
noaXessfood: also, to be on the safe side, install openssh-server and text ssh connection to that machine from another one.. if you have one.. ;)07:45
foodI see i have only 3 link on the sources.list07:45
almoxarifefood: you may also need to install kdm in place of gdm/lightdm, not sure if that wipe affects either07:46
almoxarifenoaXess: no gui?07:47
noaXessalmoxarife: just to be safe, if gui isn't working..07:47
almoxarifenoaXess: i meant on the ssh connection07:47
noaXessalmoxarife: you have command :)07:48
* almoxarife cli's with a gui07:48
noaXessi always work in command line on my servers... i i get a ssh connection.. if not.. i need to go into my car and drive long ways.07:48
almoxarifenoaXess: i got one server, the HTC, and its in the house07:49
foodI am trying to get the full source from http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php not sure if it is different for 64 and 32 bit. I first installed the 64bit Ubuntu07:49
noaXessalmoxarife: ? if you have another machne that works.. so connect over ssh is to recover things.. or if on the same machine switch to cli with ALT-F1, but you know that already i think ;)07:50
almoxarifeok, 3, voip/router07:50
almoxarifenoaXess: i do connect to the htc via ssh/putty07:50
almoxarifecan i ssh into a kindle/rooted i wonder?07:51
foodkde-plasma-desktop - KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal set of applications07:51
almoxarifefood: that's a matter of personal preference now, i use a lot of kde so have a hefty kde07:52
foodI see07:52
almoxarifefood: but when on the road its qtrazor or openbox07:53
foodOkay now i get error: kde-plasma-desktop : Depends: plasma-desktop (>= 4:4.9.1) but it is not going to be installed . Perhaps missing sources?07:53
almoxarifefood: you familiar with kde?07:53
foodyeah07:53
foodusing it for long time07:53
almoxarifefood: install plasma-desktop then07:54
almoxarifefood: the dependencies thing is a matter of not having the cart before the horse07:54
food?07:55
almoxarifenevermind07:55
almoxarifefood: you may need to install the core's before anything else, they should pickup the dependencies as they install07:56
foodalmoxarife, which package is that? May it be missing any sources list from sources.list? I saw it has only 3 links there07:57
almoxarifefood: not sure about the names in ubuntu, i don't use it, but search for 'core' with synaptic07:58

simplewi have installed kubuntu but i would like to have the ubuntu login screen, what i need to do?09:14
lordievadersimplew: sudo apt-get install kdm09:15
lordievadersimplew: 12.10 no longer has KDM as default, Light-DM is now the default login manager.09:15
simplewlordievader: i said i want ubuntu login screen, certainly that would no imply to isntall de kde app like kdm09:15
almoxarifesimplew: certainly would in kde like desktop envo09:16
lordievadersimplew: I'm sorry it seems i misunderstood the question, do you mean the Light-DM then, since that has been the standard Ubuntu login manager since 11.04.09:16
simplewlordievader: i have lightdm, but i dont have the ubuntu login screen, whats missing?09:17
simplewlordievader: appears to me its some theme package but i dont which is09:18
lordievadersimplew: There are two packages that might help you with this: unity-greeter and lightdm-gtk-greeter.09:19
almoxarifesimplew: re-install lightdm, is it the only login manager installed?09:19
simplewlordievader:  lightdm-gtk-greeter. isnt because i have it already instaleld09:20
simplewlordievader: im gg to try the other one09:20
simplewlordievader: it requires a llot of packages...hummm09:21
tsimpsonsimplew: edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and changing "greeter-session" from "lightdm-kde-greeter" to "lightdm-gtk-greeter" should do it09:21
tsimpsonI'm sure there's a GUI way, but that's the way I know09:21
lordievadertsimpson: To think that it would be that simple :)09:21
simplewok im gg to test it09:22
=== david is now known as Guest59611
simplewtsimpson: lightdm-gtk-greeter has nothing to do with ubuntu login screen :)09:26
simplewbut something is needed to do after doing changes in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, because when i logout i continued with the same login screen, and since there was no option to restart X in the login screen i was froeced to reboot and then i saw the lightdm gtk login which its far different from the one used in ubuntu, now after doing changes in the .conf file what service is needed to restart so that changes can be applied?09:28
lordievadersimplew: From a tty you can run, sudo service lightdm restart.09:30
simplewwhy unity and gtk lightdm dont appear in "kcmshell kcm_lightdm"?09:31
lordievadersimplew: Btw I do think you need the unity-greeter package. That is what I have in my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file.09:32
=== dimitris is now known as Guest83584
simplewlordievader: thats kill kde session... but after i isntalled unity-greeter it didnt changed /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, so i had to do it manually, strange there isnt some app to do this and that unity-greeter and lightdm-gtk-greeter do not appear in "kcmshell kcm_lightdm"...09:36

foodI have chrooted the iso and installed kde then i made the iso again , also removed gnome. It now log in KDE . But when i click on ubiquity it does not come anymore10:03
almoxarifefood: why would it? you wiped it, gnome'? remember?10:04
foodyeah10:04
foodOnly have the KDE. So for installing the iso i installed apt-get install ubiquity10:04

simplewi have set in /etc/sudoers sudo to NOPASSWD but muon continues prompting to enter password when hitting the Apply button, why is this?10:08
simplewfood: ate a procima10:08
simplewproxima*10:08
almoxarifesim, se fosse portugues10:08
tsimpsonsimplew: because muon uses policykit, not sudo/kdesudo10:08
simplewtsimpson: but polkit uses the set in sudo, like synaptic does, and synaptic doesnt ask the password anymore10:09
almoxarifetsimpson: may i suggest sticking with 'synaptic' , yes its not kde, but it is reliable and just works?10:10
tsimpsonsimplew: it uses sudo indirectly, it's authenticated over DBus iirc10:11
almoxarifemuon is one kde app i live without10:11
simplewtsimpson: if you look into polkit policies, muon should not ask a password anymore10:12
simplewits set to follow sudo grouṕ10:12
tsimpsonsimplew: report a bug then10:13
simplewand if im part of group sudo it should not ask the password anymore, that makes no sense10:13
almoxarifeoh, did i tell you all i rooted my kindle 6.3.1 to android via kde and yes, took some googling to get all the conf stuff right, but i got me a 200 dollar android tablet, glitch free even, thnks, the old lady didn't see relevant10:14
almoxarifefood: i am guessing you have a stable kde desktop now10:15
simplewtsimpson: seams an issue in kde, when running "kcmshell4 kcm_polkitactions" and click to see a policy it also asks for the password and it should not do it, ill look at this with more attention later10:16
tsimpsonsimplew: it's probably polkit-kde-1 then10:18
simplewit shouldnt even ask a apssword if i didnt set to NOPASSWD in sudoers, since im simply clicking to view a policy, this is definitly a bug10:18
simplewtsimpson: and by the way, running dolphin as root continues to not allowing to run kde apps from it, and im referring to KDE apps only10:20
foodalmoxarife, yeah , But the same i tried to customized the ISO10:21

Marius80DarthFrog, yes,  Slavek brouht up the very last version a few days ago21:57
Marius80DarthFrog, Ubuntu 12.04 is supported now21:57
Marius80beside some other distros21:57
Marius80DarthFrog, Ubuntu 12.10 will be supported soon21:58
DarthFrogI'm glad to hear it's still available for those who want it.  I never had any problems with the KDE 4 series.22:00
DarthFrogKDE 4.9.2 comes with Kubuntu Quantal.  I find it to be very good.  No issues whatsoever.22:01
Marius80DarthFrog, actually its rather okay, just a few things are bad22:03
Marius80DarthFrog, example:  the first minimized window gets a large button22:03
DarthFrogBad?  Or just not to your liking?22:03
Marius80actually bad,  since I don't like 'em22:04
Marius80:)22:04
Marius80if there is more that one window minimized,  the buttons referring to the minimized windows in the taskbar have the right size22:04
Marius80but when there is only one window minimized,  the button referring to this window is laaaaarge22:04
Marius80and thats ugly :|22:04
DarthFrogBeauty is in the eye of the beer-holder.22:06
Marius80heh22:07
=== Evpok_ is now known as Evpok
Marius80DarthFrog, is english your first language?22:07
DarthFrogNo, Canadian is. :-)22:07
Marius80lol,  ok so it's canadian english22:07
Marius80DarthFrog, could you tell me some search phrases I could use in google?22:08
DarthFrogFor what?22:08
Marius80for this border thingy22:08
Marius80I tried:22:08
Marius80kde4 border around minimized windows22:08
Marius80kde4 border taskbar22:08
Marius80kde4 border panel windows22:08
Marius80do I search for something wrong?22:08
Marius80maybe I am just missing the right word22:09
DarthFrogSounds like you've covered the bases.  Perhaps trying just KDE instead of KDE4.22:09
Marius80k I'll try that out22:10
Marius80thank you so far22:10
Marius80DarthFrog, by the way, the main developer is just in #trinity-desktop22:10
Marius80we are chatting at the moment22:10
=== ubuntu is now known as Guest90863
DarthFrogGood luck.22:11
rsolmahello. how do you install faenza for kubuntu?22:12
DarthFrogIt is, of course, possible that KDE 4 can't yet do what you're wanting.  You could always suggest it as an enhancement.22:12
DarthFrogrsolma: What is faenza?22:12
rsolmaan icon theme22:13
Marius80sorry, me again22:13
Marius80little question:22:13
Marius80I downloaded Kubuntu 12.04  and got a little scratch in the CD22:13
DarthFrogrsolma:  "apt-cache search faenza" turned up nothing.22:13
rsolmasec22:13
Marius80if I would md5sum the CD before installing,  could I find out if the CD is still okay?22:14
Marius80or shall I download and burn it from new?22:14
DarthFrogMarius80: There is an option on the initial screen to check the validity of the CD.22:14
rsolmahttp://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=14389022:15
DarthFrogMarius80: If it passes that check, you're fine.22:15
rsolmaits the most popular icon theme22:15
yofelMarius80: I fear I don't know how to do what you want, but in KDE4 the panel is rendered by plasma(-desktop) and the taskmanager look mostly depends on the theme as far as I know22:15
DarthFrogrsolma: On that page, there's a link to an installation script.22:15
yofelso maybe best look for a theme that does what you want?22:16
yofel(sadly borders seem outdated these days :( )22:16
yofel(as are colored icons :( )22:16
Marius80yofel, how bad :(22:16
DarthFrogrsolma: Looks nice, though.22:16
rsolmahow do i use a installation script22:17
Marius80yofel, I really had to search long to find vintage which looks pretty much like kde322:17
rsolmaon a lighter note, kubuntu12.10 seems lik a rock solid release22:17
yofelrsolma: try to install it from the icon settings22:18
yofelthere is an 'get new themes' and 'install theme file' button22:19
rsolmahow do you download the script22:22
DarthFrogyofel: Unfortunately, neither faenza nor kfaenza turns up with "Get new Themes".22:22
rsolmanope22:22
rsolmait doesn work22:22
rsolmabut it works manually22:22
DarthFrogrsolma: It is a link to a pastebin.  You'd have to do a screen-scrape and copy to a file.22:22
yofelDarthFrog: http://people.ubuntu.com/~yofel/pics/downl.png ?22:23
DarthFrogyofel: Doesn't work for me???  Strange.22:25
yofelyou did open the search from the icon settings?22:25
yofelnot workspace theme or ...?22:25
DarthFrogWindow decorations.22:25
yofelwrong22:25
yofelapplication appearaince -> icons22:26
rsolmawhat is your fav icon theme22:26
rsolmathis is addressed to evrybody22:26
DarthFrogyofel: Thanks.  That worked.  How can you tell that I rarely deal with the desktop? :-)22:26
* yofel as a dev kinda just sticks to stock oxygen22:27
yofelI liked the old oxygen icons better though22:27
yofelDarthFrog: I just followed: http://xkcd.com/627/ ;P22:28
rsolmahttp://alecive.deviantart.com/art/kAwOken-24416677922:28
rsolmathis is my fav icon theme22:28
DarthFrogyofel:  :-)  yeah, that's what I do, too.22:29
yofelok, I do know more about system settings than most people. The settings placement is rather unintuitive sometimes :/22:29
rsolmadoes kubuntu work well with ati cards22:29
DarthFrogyofel: In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king.  It's amazing how you can get a rep as a computer guru by following that flow chart. :-)22:29
yofelindeed :D22:30
DarthFrogrsolma: I ran a Radeon HD 5770 for a few years.22:30
rsolmaim thinking of using fgrlx22:30
yofelrsolma: I don't have an ATI card, but the open source driver is supposed to be somewhat usable. Catalyst support sucks, but that's an upstream issue.22:31
yofelfrom what I heard ATI dropped support for a few cards in the fglrx version that's in 12.1022:31
yofelso best check their hardware support list22:32
DarthFrogATI is always dropping cards off the bottom of the Catalyst list.22:32
DarthFrogMind you, other than for gaming, the open source radeon driver is fine.22:33
yofelrsolma: interesting icon theme - needs the right plasma theme to go with though22:33
rsolmaim just doing graphic work22:34
rsolmapainting22:35
Marius80re22:42
Marius80me again,  got a little question22:42
Marius80what is this error about, please?22:42
Marius80http://pastebin.com/b2f5USkp22:42
Marius80the trinity developers say,  that this error makes no sense,  since  libapt-pkg4.12 is a dependency,  and not libapt-pkg4.1122:43
Marius80beside that,  foomatic-db-compressed-ppds also gives an error22:43
Marius80the interesting thing:22:43
Marius80installing this stuff with apt-get  instead of apitutde gives _no_ error22:43
yofelaptitude is broken on amd64 in at least 12.04 due to multiarch issues22:45
Marius80yofel, may I PLEASE ask you to join #trinity-desktop and explain that to SlavekB ?22:48
Marius80he is the developer of trinity desktop22:49
BarkingFishmorning guys. I don't suppose any of you here happen to know how to enable the ctrl+alt+backspace restart for the x server in kubuntu, do you?23:07
OerHeksBarkingFish, yes ido, type  in kde menu "key" > keyboard settings, 3th tab "advanced"23:08
OerHeks"key sequence to kill the x server23:09
BarkingFishexcellent, thank you :)23:09
BarkingFishI was going by google and went to amend something which doesn't exist anymore :P23:09
BarkingFishgoogle said something about amending /etc/init.d/kdm23:09
OerHeksI helped with this issue and the reason why few days ago.23:09
BarkingFishwhich apparently is now an upstart job, and I understand precisely 0 about upstart.23:10
BarkingFishpersonally, would be nice to get rid of it for me (this end, not for kubuntu as a whole) and convert everything back to using init :)23:10
BarkingFishunfortunately, I'm not skilled enough to do that, so I'm stuck with it.23:14
yofelBarkingFish: there is also a sysrequest that you can use: sysrq+k (meaning alt+print+k usually) - that'll kill everything on your current terminal (which is X usually)23:16
BarkingFishyeah, i don't want to just kill it, i want it to restart, which is why I prefer the ctrl alt bksp combo :)23:17

andybrineevening everyone23:38
xixorsup23:38
BarkingFishhi andybrine23:38
andybrinejust having trouble ripping dvds23:38
andybrinei want to put dvds on my phone and with every program it crashes23:39
andybrinewondering if anyone hasw come across this before?23:39
andybrinethought this would be the best place to ask23:39
andybrinei know this is not very specific, it just seems to be every app when i go to rip23:41
BarkingFish!illegal|andybrine23:42
ubottuandybrine: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o23:42
andybrinethankyou for letting me know23:43
BarkingFishno problem :)23:43
andybrinethis is a purchased dvd ad i would like a copy on my phone23:43
BarkingFishRipping DVDs is questionable, since most contain some form of copy protection.  If anyone else is willing to assist you, that's their call, but it would be welcomed if you could take it out of here :)  Thanks!23:44
andybrineIm not here to get into a debate i would just like to know how i can transfer information onto my phone23:46
BarkingFishI'm not creating a debate. I'm telling you that what you're asking, you won't get an answer about in here.23:49
andybrinejust want assistance o how i can trasfer video files on to my phone23:50
andybrinelol23:50
andybrinethere is nothing illigal when it is your own purchased cds23:50
BarkingFishthat's fine - you do it by connecting your phone to your computer via USB, if it has a setting to be used as a hard drive - otherwise you can send them via bluetooth or copy to a memory card if your phone has one.23:51
andybrine!illegal sure it is :) Hahaha a world of knowledge i here tonight23:53
andybrinehad no idea you could to that :s23:53
andybrinelaymans answer to a complex query23:55
simplewRiddell: ping23:55
BarkingFishlet me clarify the law for you, as it stands in the UK and Europe anyway:  "Whilst it is not legal to rip a DVD in the UK and Europe, you are allowed to make one backup copy of it for storage on your computer only.  That right does not extend to disassembling, reassembling, or extracting individual clips or media from that DVD"23:56
andybrineyou actually realise there are legal ways to copy files from your mac onto a iphone.23:57
simplewyofel: ping23:57
BarkingFishno, I don't, because I use neither, andybrine23:57
BarkingFishI use linux and an android tablet.  I wouldn't know how to do anything with a mac and iPhone23:58
