| arcturus | what version of xorg does the latest kubuntu have? | 00:16 |
| dougl | I am having font issues with my kde installed with kubuntu 12.10 - the font size when I 'kdesu systemsetting' is so small it is unreadable and not sure if it is related but I get a message when I launch apps from cli 'Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.' Anyone have any suggestions? | 00:18 |
| SIR_Taco__ | arcturus: 2xxx, 3xxx and 4xxx were dropped from the current proprietary driver (frglx), haven't tried the legacy drivers. Everything I see says that the legacy drivers do work though | 00:18 |
| dougl | my kmail and kate applications display normal sized fonts but when I print the font is huge on the printout | 00:18 |
| SIR_Taco__ | *fglrx | 00:19 |
| SIR_Taco__ | arcturus: 1.13 | 00:20 |

| dougl | SIR_Taco__, maybe will cure my curiosity - thanks | 00:24 |
| SIR_Taco__ | dougl: wonder what would happen if you moved the ~/.fonts.conf temporarily to see what happens? | 00:25 |
| dougl | no effect | 00:25 |
| SIR_Taco__ | dougl: mine aren't super small, but it is definitely a different font settings between the two | 00:28 |

| Scunizi | robtygart: sorry.. i've been going through 5k of photos looking for ones of my son.. I will be upgrading soon. This is my production machine and I do work with it all the time. Typically to upgrade I have to reinstall root leaving my /home on another partition. Then install all the stuff I typically have. It's a pain. | 00:53 |

| MySystem | hello i search a calculator with many funktions and history/chronic | 01:20 |
| MySystem | does anybody know a good one | 01:20 |
| Obsidian1723 | did you check google? | 01:21 |
| MySystem | dont know how the list of executed caslculations is called | 01:22 |
| Obsidian1723 | search in the software center or on google. | 01:22 |
| MySystem | for which word calculator and how is this list called | 01:23 |
| Obsidian1723 | Sorry, I can't tell you how to use google. | 01:24 |
| zacarias | Hi. Is there a way to search for files by date created or modified (instead of just by name or content)? Using Dolphin or another tool? | 01:24 |
| MySystem | the prob is not google the prob is the translation | 01:24 |
| MySystem | and google doesnt tell me how usefull the calculator is so i asked here to get sugestions | 01:25 |
| MySystem | zacarias the only iidea with dolphin i have is a search in the folder and sub for * and then sort the detail list by date | 01:29 |
| XiaYixuan | hi | 01:30 |
| XiaYixuan | Obsidian1723, can you tell me how to parse the text once I found the answer through google? | 01:30 |
| zacarias | MySystem: yes, but with that you still have to enter the name first, and you can't list all your files created on a certain date, for instance | 01:34 |
| MySystem | as name use wildcard * but yes it lists all files and you have to go to the position of the date you search in list | 01:38 |
| MySystem | with gui i sadly dont know any other option | 01:40 |
| zacarias | MySystem: I don't even see a column with date after the search (just "name" and "location"). And with CLI, how can I do that? | 01:42 |
| OerHeks | search last modified on Cli > find -type f -exec stat -c "%y %n" {} + | sort -r | head | 01:44 |
| MySystem | thx oerheks your way looks much better | 01:46 |
| OerHeks | found @ http://askubuntu.com/questions/61179/find-the-latest-file-by-modified-date | 01:46 |
| OerHeks | Also Dolphin should be able too, but i cannot find a howto. | 01:46 |
| MySystem | zacarias found a gui app sudo apt-get install kfind | 01:51 |
| zacarias | Thanks! | 01:52 |
| JuJuBee | I created a program shortcut (launcher?) in my K-menu but the icon won't stick. | 01:52 |
| silouck | i cant start apps from dolphin root, can anyone confirm? | 01:53 |
| MySystem | jujubee dont get the meening of stick | 01:56 |
| MySystem | sry translation my english is not the best | 01:56 |
| zacarias | MySystem: Thanks | 01:57 |
| MySystem | np | 01:58 |
| JuJuBee | MySystem: When I add the icon either in the .desktop file or by right clicking on the k-menu and adding an item, the icon does not show only the text of the launcher | 01:58 |
| MySystem | jujubee this case i don't know but is the icon in one of the listet formats (*.png *.xpm *.svg *.svgz) | 02:01 |
| MySystem | jujubee the only other idea i have is the user/group which access the file dont have read access but this isnt much possible i think | 02:03 |
| robtygart | JuJuBee: it might be your icons. Try using a different Icon set (Thats if you changed it in the first place) | 02:06 |
| === lucid is now known as govcheese | ||
| JuJuBee | MySystem: the rights on icons are rwxr-xr-x and they are .png files. | 02:07 |
| MySystem | jujubee then i sadly have no idea but if it is a system icon which is managed trhough icon packages then robtygart's idea sounds good | 02:08 |
| govcheese | sup | 02:09 |
| JuJuBee | If I use a system icon it stays. Seems if I copyt the icon to my home dir, it works fine. Strange... | 02:11 |
| MySystem | tell meif you figured out why jujubee sounds also strange to me | 02:17 |

| joedj | kdm comes up with the login screen. when logging in, the login screen disappears and he's left with a background image and a mouse cursor, but no further activity. this also happens with a new user | 10:31 |
| Odd-rationale | joedj: Is he on 12.10? | 10:32 |
| joedj | there are some errors about "QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave." in ~/.xsession-errors | 10:33 |
| joedj | Odd-rationale: 12.04 LTS | 10:33 |
| joedj | i installed twm and tried choosing that in kdm, same result | 10:34 |
| Odd-rationale | Can you login into a VT? | 10:34 |
| joedj | yeah | 10:35 |
| Odd-rationale | What happens when you run startx? | 10:35 |
| joedj | black screen | 10:35 |
| joedj | no mouse cursor | 10:35 |
| Odd-rationale | Any messages when you switch back to the VT? | 10:35 |
| joedj | (actually, it flashes the nvidia splash screen before the black one) | 10:36 |
| joedj | back on the VT there's "FATAL: Module off not found" as the last line | 10:36 |
| joedj | if i remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf that FATAL line goes away, still get the nvidia logo then black screen | 10:37 |
| joedj | there's an x-window-manager process running | 10:38 |
| Odd-rationale | Do you know whether the kernel got upgraded during that upgrade? | 10:39 |
| joedj | he thinks it may have | 10:39 |
| joedj | we have uninstalled and reinstalled "nvidia-current", and rebooted | 10:39 |
| Odd-rationale | You can check `less /var/log/apt/history.log` | 10:39 |
| joedj | yeah, looks like it | 10:41 |
| joedj | linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic:amd64 | 10:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Have you tried with the Nouveau drivers just to see if it works? | 10:42 |
| joedj | i don't think so | 10:43 |
| joedj | how does one install that? | 10:43 |
| Odd-rationale | try: rmmod nvidia | 10:44 |
| Odd-rationale | then: modprobe nouveau | 10:44 |
| joedj | that gives FATA:L Module off not found | 10:45 |
| joedj | (my typo..) | 10:45 |
| Odd-rationale | is xserver-xorg-video-nouveau installed? | 10:46 |
| joedj | yep | 10:46 |
| joedj | i can try reinstalling it | 10:46 |
| joedj | didn't help | 10:47 |

| tsimpson | ffmpeg is always good for converting | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | won't any open source players play AAC ? why the need to convert | 12:21 |
| tsimpson | depends on what kind of AAC is it, some are basically MP4, others are some DRM thing | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | soundkonverter works well for other conversions , never tried AAC tho | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | tsimpson, what about batch conversion with ffmpeg ? | 12:24 |
| tsimpson | it does batch too | 12:25 |
| tsimpson | as well as being command-line, so you can just write a script or bash for-loop | 12:25 |

| Obsidian1723 | Graf_Westerholt: No idea why it does that. I switched to Banshee awhile ago. Less problems. | 14:06 |
| derron | I love kubuntu even more than the gnome version.. but my kubuntu freezes occasionally.. I have an Acer Aspire notebook | 14:09 |
| derron | any idea? | 14:09 |

| Graf_Westerholt | Obsidian1723, thx, maybe I'll try it. | 14:10 |
| Obsidian1723 | derron: You could always check the log files, see what's going on with it...\ | 14:11 |
| derron | where can i find them? thanks | 14:11 |
| Obsidian1723 | Graf_Westerholt: Yeah, I'm a bad user. I just don't care anymore. Unless it's ap rogram that I NEED and ONLY that program will suffice, fine... I'll do a bug report or look into it extensively, but if it's something like an audio player? I'll do a few things to see if I can correct it, but I'm not going to sit there and muddle through it for days, weeks, months... I'll just replace it.

| Obsidian1723 | gotcha. ok, open up the file manager (Dolphin) under Help is About KDE | 14:14 |
| Obsidian1723 | 4.9.3 (which I have) is the latest release. | 14:15 |

| Obsidian1723 | ah | 14:16 |
| Obsidian1723 | Well, to each their own on this, but I recommend staying with the LTS releases, 12.04 in this case. | 14:17 |
| derron | ya i might consider that if I encounter the freezing more... | 14:17 |
| Obsidian1723 | LTS has 5 year support whereas the non-LTSes do not. Also, the non-LTSes aren't as stable. I know some people use them just fine, but in general, they are not. | 14:17 |
| Obsidian1723 | Non-LTSes are really just betas for the NEXT LTS... | 14:18 |
| Obsidian1723 | 14.04 | 14:18 |
| derron | ya i guess... i just like to jump onto the next new thing | 14:18 |
| Obsidian1723 | Nothing wrong with bleeding edge. That's why some people run Arch :D | 14:18 |

| Obsidian1723 | yeah, it's kinda flaey in some ways. Bleeding edge is a good way to learn. | 14:20 |
| Obsidian1723 | flakey | 14:20 |
| Obsidian1723 | I'd suggest trying it in a VM if you lack the number of physical machines to try any distro out on. | 14:21 |
| derron | Ya.. im just getting out of school for computers... getting my security+ soon.. i got my MTA for server | 14:21 |
| derron | so i want to try to learn more linux | 14:21 |
| derron | as well | 14:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | You can also make a default installation snapshot, so if the system gets borked up (which it will while you learn), rolling back is easy/. | 14:21 |

| Obsidian1723 | I was. I started on UNIX in 1978 actually. | 14:23 |
| derron | nice | 14:23 |
| Obsidian1723 | Windows didn't exist for 7 years, MSFT was a 3 year old company, APPL was 2 years old, the web didn't exist for 12 more years. | 14:23 |
| Obsidian1723 | I started @ age 11, I'm 45 now. | 14:24 |
| Obsidian1723 | GSEC is a bit more hands on then SEC+ is, but SEC+ is good... If yo uwant to get into security, you may want to focus on more of the hands on certs like GSEC, CEH, GCUX, etc, vs more administrative ones like CISSP. | 14:25 |

| BluesKaj | ok , go back to the lightdm greeter screen ,ctrl+alt+f1 to drop to the tty , login , then sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade , there's fix in the upgrades | 15:16 |
| CQ | have done that, no change up until 5 mins ago | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | I had exactly the same issue | 15:16 |

| === root is now known as Guest89754 | ||
| CQ | nomodeset? | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | the thing is you're able to boot into the greeter , so nomodeset isn't really applicable | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | !nomodeset | 15:24 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | did you any errors about X server and initramfs ? | 15:26 |
| * Smurphy uses: nomodeset and removes the splash and quiete stuff ... | 15:26 | |

| Derron | yea lol... i use to join IRC chats alot a long time ago... | 15:49 |
| TalonClaw | lol first day ever getting in one | 15:50 |
| Derron | ya i use to use mIRC back like 10+ years ago | 15:50 |
| TalonClaw | still managed to get banned on a channel by trying to join it :/ | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | TalonClaw, repeatedly trying to join an invite only chat can get you banned | 15:53 |
| TalonClaw | i think i accidently tried to join as root which is auto ban on backtrack | 15:56 |
| TalonClaw | was just looking it up | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | asking about backtrack in 'buntu chat's a no no | 15:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | indeed | 15:59 |
| TheLordOfTime | !backtrack | 15:59 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| TalonClaw | omg i fail so badly | 16:00 |
| TalonClaw | but yeha thats the channel im now banned from facepalm | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | well backtrack has reason to be paranoid | 16:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | yup. | 16:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | BT support maybe in ##linux though | 16:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | otherwise you're SOL. | 16:01 |
| TalonClaw | irc chat words | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | I don't see any benefits in backtrack anyway | 16:01 |
| TalonClaw | tools are there ready to use | 16:02 |
| TalonClaw | i find it easier to just have a play about on before getting into anything serious | 16:02 |
| TalonClaw | like pacman all night last night | 16:02 |
| derron_ | Kubuntu just froze on me 5 minutes ago.. seems to be while im browsing the internet... can anybody help? | 16:08 |

| snax | Derron: it's too old to boot of usb. | 16:19 |
| Derron | o ok | 16:19 |
| snax | It's a dell inspiron. | 16:20 |
| Derron | dell inspiron too old? | 16:20 |
| Derron | what model | 16:20 |
| snax | usb is not on the boot menu. | 16:20 |
| TalonClaw | you can still boot from usb you just need the right software | 16:20 |
| Derron | sometimes its not right in the bios... hit f12 | 16:20 |
| TalonClaw | and that ^ | 16:21 |
| Derron | i cant really remember but its somewhere where you wouldnt expect... | 16:21 |
| Derron | you have to enable a setting | 16:21 |
| Derron | i encountered that issue before where it wasnt in the boot menu... but i had to enable something | 16:21 |
| Derron | its like a setting where the HD info is... wish i could remember more specifically.. sry :( | 16:22 |
| snax | I'll snoop around the bios. thanks. | 16:23 |
| snax | I don't see it under F12 though. | 16:23 |
| Derron | ok hopefully if you snoop around the bios you find it.... but what model is the inspiron btw | 16:24 |
| Derron | becuase i have had an inspiron | 16:24 |
| snax | sorry I'm at work atm, until lunch break. Don't recall the exact model. | 16:24 |
| Derron | ok | 16:24 |
| snax | I go on lunch in 10 min though :) | 16:24 |
| Derron | ok hopefully you can find the setting when u do go | 16:25 |
| Derron | maybe i will try to research how to do it on some inpiron models while your working | 16:25 |
| Derron | wow apparently on some older models they block the USB booting on purpose... | 16:27 |
| Derron | stupid dell | 16:27 |
| snax | So you just unblock it in the bios. right ? | 16:27 |
| Derron | lol | 16:27 |
| Derron | hopefully idk still looking | 16:27 |
| snax | probably for security purposes. dumb dell. | 16:28 |
| Derron | yep | 16:28 |
| Derron | u could of course try pxe boot | 16:28 |

| avihay | it's in the backports repository | 16:55 |
| Derron | i htink it id update tho..i have to restart for it to show? | 16:56 |
| Derron | i think it is* | 16:56 |
| avihay | just reload, not restart | 16:57 |
| avihay | (like apt-get update) | 16:57 |
| Derron | how do i reload?? ctrl alt backspace? | 16:57 |
| Derron | o | 16:57 |
| avihay | what package manager are ya useing? | 16:57 |
| avihay | using* | 16:57 |
| Derron | muon.... | 16:58 |
| Derron | default | 16:58 |
| avihay | I don't know how to do it from Muon :-< | 16:59 |
| Derron | what do you use | 16:59 |
| avihay | synaptic | 17:00 |
| simplew | Riddell: Reading symbols from /usr/bin/konversation...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/konversation...(no debugging symbols found)...done. | 17:00 |
| Derron | on kubuntu?? i thought synaptic was just gnome | 17:00 |
| avihay | well, synaptic is a GTK program, you can instal it just fine if you'd like, and it happens to be the most stable, feature full package manager I know of | 17:01 |
| Derron | ya installing it now | 17:02 |
| rijack | can some one look at this | 17:03 |
| rijack | http://pastebin.com/ZvDDUq6Y | 17:03 |

| * BluesKaj agrees with avihay on that score , synaptic can't be touched in terms of usability | 17:05 | |
| avihay | rijack: I have smbfs in my package manager | 17:06 |
| avihay | BluesKaj: now if it wasn't so ugly... :-> | 17:07 |
| rijack | you do ? whatare your source or repos or whatever | 17:07 |
| avihay | I marked both universe and multiverse in the package-sources thingy, don't know how they are called now | 17:08 |
| rijack | k ill check that | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | avihay, just set it up with krunner, kdesudo systemsettings ..it can be configured to look just like any other kde app | 17:08 |
| simplew | avihay: theres no such package smbfs in ubuntu repos | 17:09 |
| avihay | BluesKaj: can you be bothered with sending me a screenshot of yours? | 17:10 |

| BluesKaj | avi you may need to do a ctrl- to bring the size down since i'm using a large monitor | 17:14 |

| BluesKaj | avihay,^ | 17:14 |

| avihay | try sudo apt-get install smbfs from your command line | 17:17 |

| Derron | someone told me latest kde is 9.2.3? | 17:18 |
| Derron | cant find it in the synaptic or muon | 17:18 |

| Derron | well realistically they should | 17:29 |
| Derron | many dont | 17:29 |
| arsal_ | it is avast | 17:29 |
| avihay | Derron: I delegate the viruse checking responsibility to the windows machines | 17:30 |
| avihay | I warn people that my DOKs were in the school computer farm and that they should update their anti-viruse before inserting it, which is, I think, fair enough | 17:31 |
| arsal_ | actually in a forum i read that there is only 14 viruses which effects linux.. how much is this true??? | 17:31 |
| avihay | Wikipedia lists about 14, all of them are now irrelevant. as far as I know avast only checks for windows viruses | 17:33 |
| rijack | i tried autofs my smb still isnt working | 17:33 |
| avihay | arsal_: erm, well seems my memory was off | 17:34 |
| avihay | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware | 17:34 |

| thecaptain2000 | hi, has anybody any idea how to turn a linux machine in a wifi hotspot? I have two wifi cards, with one I connect to the hotel wifi, with the other one I would like to be able to broadcast a signal that let my telephone connect to the internet in order to make skype calls with my wife (skype on linux is rubbish) | 17:37 |
| avihay | thecaptain2000: you can do it from the KDE network manager | 17:38 |
| Derron | speaking of skype... since microsoft took over skype.. i wonder if they will even bother to update linux with skype | 17:38 |
| thecaptain2000 | I tried, I found a few huides on the network, but either my android does not detect ad hoc connection or those guides are not accurate | 17:38 |
| thecaptain2000 | avihay: I tried, I found a few huides on the network, but either my android does not detect ad hoc connection or those guides are not accurate | 17:38 |
| avihay | I can guide you, assuming you are useing a recent version of Kubuntu/KDE | 17:39 |
| thecaptain2000 | avihay: basically my android wifi manager does not find the ssid of the ad hoc connection I set in network manager, associated with the second wifi card | 17:39 |
| thecaptain2000 | I am on 4.9 | 17:39 |
| thecaptain2000 | kubuntu 12.04 | 17:40 |
| avihay | ok, open the network manager | 17:40 |
| thecaptain2000 | there I am | 17:40 |
| avihay | in the wireless tab, click the add button, then the shared option | 17:40 |
| thecaptain2000 | I believe you mean in the "manage connection" program | 17:41 |
| thecaptain2000 | ok, done it | 17:41 |
| avihay | umm, yhe, sorry | 17:41 |
| avihay | pick an ssid | 17:41 |
| avihay | make sure that ipv4 is on basic and shared | 17:41 |
| thecaptain2000 | ok, I picked "ohmygod" | 17:41 |
| Derron | lol | 17:42 |
| thecaptain2000 | yup, basic and shared selected | 17:42 |
| avihay | in wireless security pick whatever you'd like | 17:42 |
| avihay | I suggest wpa | 17:42 |
| thecaptain2000 | I guess I need to restrict this connection to my "other" wifi adapter -> wlan1 | 17:42 |
| avihay | not really | 17:43 |
| thecaptain2000 | "restrict to interface" | 17:43 |
| thecaptain2000 | does it harm? | 17:43 |
| thecaptain2000 | if I do not do it, when the new network appears, it re tries to connect wlan0 | 17:43 |
| avihay | well, if you mix them up it will take you some time to figure it out | 17:43 |
| thecaptain2000 | well, I restrict it to wolan1, it should not harm | 17:43 |
| avihay | hit ok | 17:44 |
| thecaptain2000 | there I am | 17:44 |
| avihay | then open the network manager, pick one interface on the left | 17:44 |
| avihay | tell it to connect the to the hotel | 17:45 |
| thecaptain2000 | ok | 17:45 |
| thecaptain2000 | one is already connected (that is why I am chatting with you now) | 17:45 |
| avihay | go back and select the other interface, and tell it to connect to ohmygod | 17:45 |
| thecaptain2000 | done it | 17:45 |
| avihay | theoretically you should now be able to see it from the android after the whole setting network address thing finishes | 17:46 |
| thecaptain2000 | nothing is visible on Andreoid except for the same hotel wifi SSID | 17:46 |
| thecaptain2000 | which is where I got stck | 17:47 |
| thecaptain2000 | stuck | 17:47 |
| avihay | :-< | 17:47 |
| avihay | try to remove the restrict thingy | 17:47 |
| avihay | after that, try to remove the wireless security | 17:47 |
| avihay | I managed to make a windows laptop share my internet only when I used wep | 17:48 |
| avihay | and by remove I mean change, hit apply, and reconnect the interface to ohmygod | 17:48 |
| thecaptain2000 | avihay: done and reconnected, still no joy | 17:48 |
| avihay | umm, try to set the channel to channel 6? | 17:49 |
| thecaptain2000 | one thing, on the list of available connection, on the linux laptop, I see the connection I created (MyNewShared connection), it is the SSID which is ohmygod) but there is no signal associated to it, not sure if it helps | 17:50 |
| thecaptain2000 | avihay: he channel is set to automatica and cannot changeit | 17:50 |
| avihay | well, I don't know then, I managed to make it work twice in a row so I know it's possible | 17:51 |

| dougl | I backed up/renamed my .kde folder to .kde and now my kmail is gone and xchat is using some fontzilla that makes the nicks and chatter huge in the middle window of xchat = any suggestions for making my kubuntu 12.10 into a normal looking computer? | 18:08 |
| dougl | to .kde.bak | 18:09 |
| avihay | gtg | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, yeah use konverstion instead | 18:10 |

| dougl | BluesKaj, always good to hear from you... all my logs and everything are in xchat = been using the same .xchat dir for years - thats all you got ? :) | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, well it was a joke , but renaming .kde isn't always wise , I know it's a common fix for a lot of kde issues , but it's also a pita when it doesn't apply the fix one expects | 18:14 |
| chuckbry | Hi there! I've installed the full kde desktop on top of ubuntu 12.04. 1) Firefox and some other apps in unity have taken on a kde/qt theme. Any way to fix that? 2) In order for me to switch to KDE i'll need to find a way to get nautilus file manager & other gtk apps to look like the rest of the KDE apps. Nautilus looks & fonts are terrible and no fix i've tried so far has worked. I'd appreciate any help, thanks. | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | chuckbry, install kubuntu-desktop , then setup your gtk looks in system settings>application appearance | 18:16 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, ok - you made me laugh... is xchat a gtk app or something - where do you config the font on those apps | 18:17 |
| chuckbry | have already done that.. nautilus won't use the ubuntu font and the oxygen-gtk theme. | 18:17 |
| OerHeks | xchat has its own preferences with fonts and stuff. | 18:17 |
| chuckbry | or any other theme like qtcurve | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | in xchat itself I think | 18:18 |
| dougl | looking | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | chuckbry, do you want gnome/unity as an option when you login ? | 18:19 |
| dougl | say no | 18:19 |
| chuckbry | yes, for the time being | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | chuckbry, try the krunner (alt+F2) , kdesudo systemsettings , that gives root permissions and then try the changes for gtk using that method | 18:22 |
| dougl | OerHeks, BluesKaj got it readable = thanks guys :) | 18:24 |
| OerHeks | have fun dougl | 18:24 |
| chuckbry | did what you suggested but didn't work..maybe I have to log in again? | 18:27 |
| yofel | uh kdesudo systemsettings will set appearance for root, not your user | 18:29 |
| chuckbry | right...I remember a few years back that fiddling with settings as root fixed some problems system-wide but..that was several versions ago and I hadn't used kde since... | 18:31 |
| yofel | chuckbry: is xsettings-kde installed and running? | 18:31 |
| chuckbry | nobody uses nautilus in kde? | 18:31 |
| yofel | most people don't but it should use oxygen since 12.04 if you use it | 18:31 |
| mime_1111 | hey ppl | 18:33 |
| yofel | chuckbry: and so you have this in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4? gtk-theme-name="oxygen-gtk" | 18:33 |
| yofel | *and do you | 18:33 |
| chuckbry | let me see | 18:34 |
| mime_1111 | after having flash problems, i just start the browser as admin, and the problem has dissapeared, but only works correctly with sudo, any help? thnx | 18:34 |
| chuckbry | are there keyboard shortcuts for showing all desktops & moving an application to one like shift+ctrl_alt+-> in compiz? | 18:42 |
| yofel | chuckbry: the settings are there, but empty by default | 18:45 |
| chuckbry | didn't find one for moving apps | 18:45 |
| chuckbry | one that can be set, i mean | 18:45 |
| chuckbry | maybe missed it | 18:46 |
| yofel | chuckbry: systemsettings->shortcuts->global->kwin->Move Window ... | 18:46 |
| yofel | Window One Desktop ... rather | 18:47 |
| chuckbry | found it, thanks alot! | 18:48 |
| === mizzdle is now known as bazzle | ||
| chuckbry | expose of all destops like in unity? I got the cube working but that's not what i'm looking for | 18:49 |
| imgx64 | Hi, I'm trying Kubuntu 12.10 LiveCD in a virtual machine.. Why aren't Web Shortcuts working in the Alt-F2 menu? I typed "gg:test" then pressed Enter, but nothing happened. | 18:50 |
| chuckbry | That "window One desktop.." would have been a very hard find..could be made easier to find | 18:51 |
| chuckbry | found all the rest, thanks yofel..If only we could fix nautilus fonts & themes I'd be a happy camper | 19:04 |
| simplew | yofel: poing | 19:08 |
| yofel | simplew: piong | 19:23 |
| yofel | chuckbry: you are on 12.04 right? There the gtk theme is set by setting it for gtk2, and using xsettings-kde to also apply it for gtk3 | 19:24 |
| yofel | so if things work right, everything should be using oxygen-gtk | 19:24 |
| chuckbry | didn't quite catch the steps there..can't seem to start xsettings-kde. It come up but nothing starts..can you list the steps of what I have to do? | 19:28 |

| yofel | chuckbry: ah, I was just asking if it's running, it's a daemon without UI | 19:29 |
| === rene is now known as Guest83629 | ||
| chuckbry | ok | 19:29 |
| yofel | chuckbry: to set it go to systemsettings->applicationa appearance->gtk | 19:29 |
| m477 | how can I add apps to tray? | 19:29 |
| yofel | that should usually work then | 19:29 |
| yofel | chuckbry: here's my ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 http://paste.kde.org/605006 | 19:30 |
| yofel | chuckbry: for gtk3 you could put this in your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini http://paste.kde.org/605012/ but that will probably mess with unity | 19:31 |
| chuckbry | the 1st file is identical to mine. There's no gtk3 file in home | 19:38 |
| rijack | What does this mean in Konsole | 19:39 |
| rijack | ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.8 port 22: No route to host | 19:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | rijack, means it can't connect to that system via SSH on port 22 | 19:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | "No Route to Host" means there's no connection path to there betweenyou and it | 19:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | (also means no connections allowed there) | 19:40 |
| rijack | i dont know what could cause that | 19:42 |
| rijack | i can connect in Chromium | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | Chromium connects via SSH? | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | you likely are connecting to port 80 on that system via chromium, not port 22 / SSH | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | (80 is HTTP, 22 is SSH. they're separate servicse) | 19:43 |
| rijack | ok ill try that then | 19:44 |
| chuckbry | another unrelated quirk...using firefox as main browser..I can only move the window when point exactlty on the topmost part--the empty space beneath doesn't produce the cross mark and I end up trying sever times to point to the right place..quite nerving | 19:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | that wasnt a solution rijack | 19:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | that was me saying that you're probably mistaking having a site for having SSH | 19:45 |
| rijack | there are other unix commands then ssh to connect though arent there? | 19:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | you assume SSH is running on 192.168.2.8 | 19:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | its likely given the error message that that IP/machine is not running SSH | 19:47 |
| rijack | im trying to send command to my router's shell which it "should" support | 19:48 |
| phiscribe | most routers that have a way in use telnet. some need a "special" ip packet and or logon to get in | 20:02 |

| Tygart | What chat do I use for Kubuntu 13.04? | 20:05 |
| Captain_Proton | I just install kde and remove unity on 12.10 box now lightdm will not start anyne know what the lightdm.conf should be? | 20:09 |
| Captain_Proton | settings* | 20:09 |
| dougl | anyone want to chat about nepomuk - reading is not cutting it... what does it do and who said I wanted it? | 20:11 |
| OerHeks | nepomuk-akonadi is a desktop search/indexing service. nice, to find anything quickly. | 20:13 |
| Captain_Proton | guess I will have to go back to unity then | 20:14 |
| OerHeks | unity runs on lightDM, so if you removed it, sure it won't start. | 20:14 |
| Captain_Proton | I have lightdm install I do not know what kubuntu uses for the session setting or greeter they will be listed under /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | Captain_Proton, just install lightdm , kubuntu uses it as well | 20:16 |
| BluesKaj | since 12.04 | 20:16 |
| * OerHeks oops | 20:16 | |
| dougl | are the fonts here http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Tutorials/Metadata/Nepomuk/Quickstart messed up and ugly on other firefox browsers? | 20:17 |
| Captain_Proton | i know i can not find the light.conf setting for KDE | 20:17 |
| Captain_Proton | can someone do a cat on /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and let me know what they ARE | 20:18 |
| dougl | OerHeks, thanks :) | 20:18 |
| Tygart | Were is the support channel for Kubuntu 13.04 | 20:20 |
| Tygart | Where* | 20:20 |
| dougl | Captain_Proton, what did you need to know? | 20:20 |
| OerHeks | Tygart, join #ubuntu+1 for raring | 20:22 |
| Captain_Proton | what the user-setting is and greeter-session i think is lightdm-kde-greeter but I am not sure | 20:22 |
| Tygart | OerHeks: Thanks | 20:22 |
| pablo_ | hello everybody, I have a question about rekonq, beacuse i can't see any video on youtube. The problem exists only in rekonq, because firefox and chrome works fine with youtube. Anyone knows how i can fix it? | 20:22 |
| dougl | greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter | 20:23 |
| Captain_Proton | google rekonq and flash you need to move a file bu I can not remember where | 20:23 |
| Captain_Proton | dougl, is there a user-setting | 20:24 |
| dougl | Captain_Proton, no | 20:24 |
| dougl | autologin user you mean? | 20:25 |
| dougl | autologin-user=doug | 20:25 |
| Captain_Proton | I will just reinstall :( no biggie | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | pablo_, rekonq is hopeless , forget it ..it's much too buggt to be reliable | 20:35 |
| BluesKaj | er buggy | 20:35 |
| pablo_ | ok, i understand | 20:36 |
| pablo_ | maybe konqueror without webkit is better? | 20:36 |
| dougl | buggery... I thot this was a family channel | 20:36 |
| pablo_ | i don't know too much about kde applications, is the first time that i used | 20:37 |
| pablo_ | because, i don't like the look of gnome 3 and unity | 20:38 |
| dougl | pablo_, you are not alone | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | pablo , stick to known browsers that work, FF, chrome/chromium , even opera | 20:39 |
| dougl | I hear good things about chrome but firefox is tried and true for me... and youtubes great | 20:39 |
| pablo_ | ok, thanks to all | 20:40 |
| pablo_ | by the way anyone know if there is a channel in any server to talk about programming languages? | 20:44 |
| calcmandan | do you know how to list channels? | 20:47 |

| us0r | hello, i'm trying to install winPcap and i cant seem to find the right application to use to open the .exe file. does anyone here know? | 21:45 |
| genii-around | I'd guess the "win" part of winpcap might be your problem there. | 21:46 |
| BluesKaj | us0r, you need wine to run windows exe file in linux | 21:46 |
| us0r | ah, i see. can i apt-get wine? | 21:47 |
| BluesKaj | !wine | 21:48 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 21:48 |
| us0r | got it. thanks | 21:49 |
| us0r | damn, my terminal has been stopped up with a end user license agreement that wont let me agree to it or download wine | 21:58 |
| OerHeks | us0r, you cannot click it with your mouse ? try [tab] and hit [space] | 21:59 |
| us0r | not with mouse. [tab] and [space] worked. thanks | 22:00 |
| FloodBotK1 | !netsplit | 23:20 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 23:20 |
