[08:58] <iroh> what is the quickest way to transfer the documents on the internal hard drive of my laptop to another laptop temporarily so i can reformat the hd?
[08:59] <Smurphy> f add another drive to the same controller type (S-ATA) and copy it over to another drive.
[09:01] <iroh> i am not very compute proficient. how do i do that? my friend is letting me borrow her laptop to store about 100 gigs of data so i can reinstall win7/kubuntu
[09:02] <Mamarok> Smurphy: I doubt he can connect a second HD, most laptops only have one slot for that
[09:03] <Mamarok> iroh: rsync is the tool you need
[09:04] <Mamarok> iroh: the syntax is probably "rsync -av /src/foo/ /dest/foo"
[09:05] <Mamarok> where /src/foo is your home directory, and /dest/foo the destination on the other laptop
[09:05] <Mamarok> now to connect these two it is probably best to have them in the same network, unless you have a cross cable

[09:07] <Mamarok> iroh: see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable
[09:08] <Mamarok> you will need to have a shared folder on the other side, with write permissions

[09:14] <iroh> Mamarok: thanks. I don't really know if my cable is a crossover. Most likely not. I read up on resync. my external hd failed, and it will be a couple more paychecks before i can get another.
[09:15] <Mamarok> you can see if it is crossover when you check both ends, and it should be printed on in

[09:15] <Mamarok> see also here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable
[09:16] <Mamarok> Smurphy: I just use rsync to an external HD, and since it is USB 3.0 that is very fast
[09:16] <invariant> All gtk3 applications that run don't display like they should. (For example, text is not visible, etc.)
[09:16] <invariant> What can be done about that?
[09:16] <Mamarok> but so is ftp and ssh
[09:16] <Smurphy> Mamarok: Using a self written script to sync tro my NAS of Gigabit Ethernet (for Backups).
[09:17] <Mamarok> invariant: change your settings in systemsettings -> Application Appearance - GTK+ Appareance
[09:17] <Smurphy> If I do some partition manipupations etc. - I tend to hook up a new disk - and do it. Even sometimes, take out the HD from the laptop and hook it into one machine that has faster Interfaces to do the manipulation;
[09:17] <Mamarok> well, that USB disk of mine is always hooked on the laptop, and it has a cron job running rsync
[09:18] <invariant> Mamarok, the problem is that something which is supposed to be white is transparant.
[09:18] <invariant> Mamarok, changing widget styles doesn't solve the problem.
[09:19] <Mamarok> invariant: did you read what I just said?
[09:19] <invariant> Mamarok, I even did what you said.
[09:19] <invariant> Mamarok, did you read what I said?
[09:19] <Mamarok> and do you use Oxygen as your default theme?
[09:19] <invariant> Mamarok, no
[09:19] <Mamarok> else this will not work
[09:20] <Mamarok> because the widget stly oxygen-gtk+ is only for oxygen themese
[09:20] <Mamarok> -e
[09:20] <invariant> Mamarok, why doesn't it say that anywhere then?
[09:21] <Mamarok> well, it should be obvious if it says oxygen :)
[09:21] <invariant> Mamarok, it doesn't say that.
[09:21] <Mamarok> it is self-explaining, why would an oxygen-gtk+ style work with a non-oxygen theme?
[09:22] <invariant> Mamarok, no, it is not. Nowhere in the GUI is even the word Oxygen displayed.
=== Tonio_aw is now known as Tonio_
[09:22] <Mamarok> *sigh*
[09:23] <invariant> Mamarok, I am the one who should be sighing.
[09:23] <Mamarok> invariant: Oxygen is the default theme in KDE
[09:23] <invariant> Mamarok, yes, so?
[09:23] <invariant> Mamarok, if I click on GTK+ Appearance, I don't expect it to only work for Oxygen.
[09:23] <Mamarok> and if the gtk theme is called "Oxygen-gtk+"; that suggests it is for adaptation tot he oxygen theme
[09:24] <Mamarok> well, it reasonably can't work with other non-oxygen themes
[09:24] <Mamarok> as those use other definitions of trnasparent, white etc.
[09:24] <invariant> Mamarok, can you be a bit more precise in what you say?
[09:25] <Mamarok> invariant: no, I can't
[09:25] <invariant> Mamarok, are you saying that if I want to use GTK+ applications when using KDE, the only choice I have is to use Oxygen?
[09:25] <invariant> Mamarok, I don't care how GTK+ applications blend in with the rest.
[09:25] <invariant> Mamarok, as long as everything is readable.
[09:26] <invariant> Mamarok, I think this would be the bare minimum feature that one could ask for.
[09:26] <Mamarok> you can use Raleigh as another theme, but I don't know how that belds in
[09:26] <Mamarok> and depending on thetheme you use you will have to modify theme settings probably
[09:26] <invariant> Mamarok, why can't I just let GTK completely control how it looks like?
[09:26] <Mamarok> nobody wrote another gtk theme, so you are free to do so
[09:27] <Mamarok> well, use the gtk theme all over then, your choice
[09:27] <Mamarok> it will just not loook that good
[09:27] <invariant> Mamarok, I don't understand how I can do that.\
[09:27] <Mamarok> invariant: you can use the gtk+ style for the widget style
[09:27] <invariant> Mamarok, all I want is that KDE doesn't touch how my GTK applications look like.
[09:28] <Mamarok> same place: system settings -> Application appearance -> Style
[09:28] <invariant> Mamarok, I already said that I had tried about 4 of them.
[09:28] <invariant> Mamarok, none of them resolved the background issue.
[09:28] <Mamarok> well, then don't use the widget stlye at all
[09:28] <Mamarok> so nothing will be changed
[09:28] <invariant> Mamarok, how do I do that?
[09:29] <Mamarok> invariant: which KDE theme do you use?
[09:29] <invariant> Mamarok, qtcurve
[09:29] <Mamarok> you do know that it is rather old, don't you?
[09:30] <invariant> Mamarok, I like it exactly the way it is.
[09:30] <invariant> Mamarok, I just want KDE to not do anything to my GTK applications.
[09:30] <invariant> It seems that 'doing absolutely nothing' shouldn't be too much to ask.
[09:31] <Mamarok> well, it does nothing for me here, sicne I didn't change a thing
[09:31] <Mamarok> but I use Oxygen, which is the default KDE
[09:31] <Mamarok> so if you use non-default settings, check with the author of QtCurve, that is not KDEs fault
[09:32] <invariant> Mamarok, I am asking how I can completely disable KDE touching any inner pixel of a GTK application.
[09:32] <invariant> Mamarok, as such, I am not interested in contacting the author of some theme.
[09:33] <Mamarok> you don't udnerstand: you don't use a KDE default theme, so don't blame KDE for a change that is done by the QtCurve theme
[09:34] <Mamarok> so if you don't want it to change your gtk, use the oxygen style
[09:34] <invariant> Mamarok, if there is no generic way to control this, then someone made a software design error.
[09:34] <Mamarok> the gtk apps I tried here look exactly like gtk to me, nothing modified
[09:34]  * Mamarok gives up
[09:34] <invariant> Mamarok, have you also tried a GTK3 application?
[09:35] <invariant> Mamarok, because I do have a GTK2 application which looks correct.
[09:35] <almoxarife> invariant: i am with you, you would think that with those high salaries they would do better software design
[09:35] <Mamarok> almoxarife: what salaries are you talking about?
[09:35] <invariant> He is being sarcastic.
[09:36] <Mamarok> I know
[09:36] <invariant> Still, it also implies that just because they are volunteers, they are free to create broken software and get a free pass for not receiving criticism.
[09:37] <Mamarok> invariant: make it better since you apparently know how to do so
[09:37] <invariant> I don't think everyone is a volunteer, though.
[09:37] <almoxarife> i use qtcurve for both qt/gtk , no issues here
[09:37]  * Mamarok wanders away
[09:37] <invariant> almoxarife, with gtk3?
[09:37] <invariant> almoxarife, it works with gtk2 for me.
[09:38] <almoxarife> invariant: you are right, the guy in the back office that staples paper to the wall, he gets paid
[09:38] <invariant> almoxarife, what's with the hate attitude?
[09:38] <almoxarife> invariant: no hate
[09:39] <invariant> almoxarife, hostile then.
[09:39] <invariant> almoxarife, I am saying it doesn't work.
[09:39] <almoxarife> give me a gtk3 app, so i can see some diff here to complain about
[09:39] <invariant> almoxarife, transgui
[09:39] <invariant> almoxarife, apt-get install transgui
[09:39] <almoxarife> i dont apt-get
[09:40] <almoxarife> i zypper
[09:40] <Mamarok> almoxarife: you are aure you are in the right channel?
[09:40] <Mamarok> sure*
[09:41] <almoxarife> kubuntu/kde
[09:41] <Mamarok> well, Kubuntu doesn't use zypper
[09:41] <almoxarife> all the same
[09:41] <almoxarife> thats alright, zypper dont mind
[09:42] <almoxarife> invariant: what is 'transgui'?
[09:44] <almoxarife> ic, a transmission remote-gui
[09:45]  * almoxarife uses the kde app to torrent, ktorrent
[09:50] <invariant> almoxarife, is that the result of your analysis?
[09:51] <invariant> almoxarife, can ktorrent connect to transmission?
[09:51] <invariant> almoxarife, if not, why would you ever even mention it?
[09:51] <almoxarife> invariant: of course
[09:52] <almoxarife> invariant: you mean in the sense that you(transmission) are u/l and i(ktorrent) am d/l the torrent i assume
[09:52] <invariant> almoxarife, no, it can't.
[09:52] <invariant> almoxarife, no, I don't mean that.
[09:53] <invariant> almoxarife, please don't take this the wrong way, but you are assuming that I am the clueless user here, while in fact you are.
[09:53] <invariant> almoxarife, please, do not respond to questions from people that you don't understand.
[09:54] <almoxarife> invariant: thats fine, i am clueless why a kde user is fixating on a gtk app used mostly on ubuntu like sys's
[09:54] <almoxarife> invariant: only because of the forum being kde related
[09:55] <invariant> You are now on my ignore list.

[12:26] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:26] <invariant> How do I set the location of the message which is displayed when notify-send "very long text here" is executed?
[12:27] <invariant> Various applications use this, but it doesn't place it on one screen.
[12:28] <invariant> If you have a multi-screen setup, you can replicate this behaviour by doing: notify-send "very long text here" very long text here" very long text here" very long text here" very long text here" very long text here" very long text here" very long text here" very long text here".
[12:28] <invariant> Without the exact quotes :/
[12:34] <lordievader> invariant: Maybe it works and maybe not, however the command "export DISPLAY=:0.0" or "export DISPLAY=:0.1" might help you.
[12:35] <invariant> lordievader, on what does this depend?
[12:36] <invariant> lordievader, it does not.
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
[12:38] <lordievader> invariant: export DISPLAY=:0.0 should be the first display and :0.1 should be the second. I do not have a multi-monitor setup myself so I cannot test it, but if I recall correctly it was something along those lines.
[12:39] <tsimpson> notify-send doesn't control where the message is displayed, that's up to the backend
[12:40] <invariant> tsimpson, how can I control it anywhere?
[12:44] <OerHeks> invariant, notify-send has limit options > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/notify-send.1.html
[12:46] <tsimpson> invariant: it's plasma that listens for the notifications, so its up to plasma where they show. probably depends on where the notifications widget is
[12:52] <invariant> OerHeks, I am not interested in notify-send.
[12:53] <invariant> OerHeks, I don't have a notifications-widget.
[12:53] <invariant> OerHeks, the thing of interest are the KDE applications that create notifications.
[12:54] <OerHeks> oh, my bad
[12:54] <OerHeks> you asked about  notify-send "very long text here"
[12:55] <BluesKaj> yes, I also assumed the issuw was the notifier
[12:57] <lordievader> Same here, I also thought he was executing notify-send from a terminal. So what is your problem exactly invariant?
[12:59] <invariant> lordievader, there are lots of applications which at some point use the kde notification frame work to send a message. These messages look exactly the same as if they are sent by notify-send.
[12:59] <invariant> lordievader, at some point the "backend" decides where to put the message.
[13:00] <invariant> What I want is control the location of the message in some way.
[13:00] <invariant> If you designed it such that this is impossible, then this is a bug which needs fixing.
[13:01] <invariant> I don't understand what was not clear about my initial question, however, which indicated this already precisely.
[13:01] <lordievader> invariant: Have you followed tsimpson's advice/suggestion?
=== cryptfu_ is now known as Guest60986
[13:02] <invariant> lordievader, he didn't provide any advice.
[13:02] <invariant> lordievader, he only said that it depends on the location of the notification widget.
[13:02] <invariant> lordievader, I can see whether I can add a notification widget.
[13:03] <lordievader> invariant: That implies experimenting with the location of the notification widget ;)
[13:04] <invariant> lordievader, the notification widget only works for some applications.
[13:04] <invariant> lordievader, this one is not one of them.
[13:05] <invariant> I am looking for something which gives the same output as if notify-send was called, which means that if I can control what notify-send does via some "backend", I can also control it for this application.
[13:06] <OerHeks> invariant, can't find notifier placement in http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/kquickguide/C/ch03s07.html
[13:08] <OerHeks> Would be a nice idea, anyway
[13:10] <OerHeks> I know Clementine musicplayer can control the position of it's notifier

[16:32] <oberdan> hi guy's i have a problem  in my kubuntu 12-04 i still tyng to install chromium from muon but after 20 sec. appear a screnn theth told me "ANOTHER APPLICATION SEEM TO USING THIS PAKEG AT THIS TIME .YOU HAVE TO CLOSE ALL THE OTHER PAKEG MANAGER BEFORE TO ADD E REMOVE  ITEMS"
[16:36] <OerHeks> oberdan, do you have terminal open?
[16:36] <OerHeks> that could lead to this error.
[16:37] <xixor> I wonder if there is a ghost/zombie muon, apt, or dpkg process running
[16:37] <DarthFrog> or a stale lock file.
[16:46] <oberdan_> so?

[17:16] <Kvaks> What's the best way to synchronize text files (for note taking) between my linux machine(s) and Android phone(s)?
=== spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead]
[17:18] <xixor> Kvaks: both ubuntu one, and dropbox, have android clients... I'd say either of those would work quite well for that task

[17:26] <Kvaks> Thanks.
[17:27] <xixor> I've never used ubuntu one, but I hear it's quite good. But I've been using dropbox for quite a few years now
[17:38] <Tygart> xixor: how much space dose dropbox give?
[17:42] <BluesKaj> 2G for free,
[17:48] <GH0> How can one reinstall syslog? Or is it even possible?
[17:49] <xixor> Tygart: yeah, 2Gb.  I think ubuntu one is 5Gb?  My dropbox has 6Gb, I managed to refer a lot of people
[17:51] <Tygart> Oh, I have been using Ubuntu one and the once from MSN
[17:51] <picharras> :)
[17:51] <Tygart> the msn one has 25gb free.
[17:51] <Tygart> I got it before they changed.
[17:52] <Tygart> picharras: Hello
[17:52] <picharras> Hi
[17:55] <GH0> Well, it appears as if syslog was actually removed from my machine. rc  inetutils-syslogd                        2:1.8-6                                      amd64        system logging daemon
[18:25] <smiffel> some of you know why kubuntu 12.04 messed up with my mousewheel? regardless which wm... kwm or icewm the same
[18:25] <smiffel> it's not as precise at it was still in 11.04
[18:26] <smiffel> this is annoying in games...
[18:26] <smiffel> i tried a few mice, not a HW issue

[20:15] <skrite> hey all
=== thgilsrooc is now known as calcmandan
[20:19] <skrite> how do i create a short cut to launch a custom application with parameters.. like conky -c testconfig.rc
[20:25] <rork> skrite: do you mean in the start menu / kicker?
[20:28] <skrite> no, it does not need to be in the start menu. they are some utilities like dmenu, etc..
[20:29] <ledah> hello anyone known a good alternative to gnomedo or synapse for kubuntu?
[20:30] <Tygart> skrite: have you looked at System Settings> Keyboard short cuts and gestures?
[20:31] <skrite> yes, but they don't seem to work with commands that have arguments
[20:33] <Tygart> o
[20:33] <Tygart> oh*
[20:35] <skrite> maybe i have something wrong here.
[20:35] <skrite> is there a keyboard shortcut for toggling tiling on/off?
[21:06] <Tygart> skrite: tiling?
[21:07] <Tygart> Are you talking about it showing all your workspaces
[21:17] <invariant> skrite, you should look into dbus.
[21:17] <invariant> skrite, then define a keybinding using khotkeys calling your dbus command, if it exists.
[21:18] <invariant> skrite, otherwise, find the code which currently toggles tiling and write a mini-C++ program which does the same thing.
[21:18] <invariant> skrite, you can file a bug if the toggling of the state is not exposed to dbus.
[21:19] <invariant> skrite, that's everything you can do.
[21:19] <invariant> skrite, your question is completely clear, btw.
[21:20] <invariant> skrite, it's quite annoying that mostly people who don't understand your question respond. Try to live with it.

[21:53] <Aison> hello all, I updated to 12.10 and now the login screen (lightdm) no longer appears
[21:54] <Aison> when I login into the console and type sudo lightdm something happens but then i'm back in the console again
[21:54] <Aison> when I type startx, X starts up with xterm
[21:54] <Aison> so X itself is fine
[21:55] <Aison> are there any logs from lightdm? I wounder what is going on here
[21:57] <xixor> hi.
[22:00] <Aison> Error writing X authority: Error opening file '/var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority': Permission denied
[22:34] <laura___> I just installed 12.10 on my laptop. Is there a way to change the login image to a female?
[22:36] <Torch> laura___: system settings -> account details
[22:36] <Tygart> laura___: system settings> Account details
[22:36] <Tygart> Click on the image
[22:36] <Tygart> lol
[22:36] <laura___> Tygart: Thank you!
[22:39] <Tygart> Aison: you could try installing lightdm again.
[22:39] <Tygart> sudo apt-get install lightdm
[22:49] <laura___> Tygart: I restarted my laptop, and the image was still the same. It is a male silhouette. That is the one I wanted to change. Is there a way to change that one?
[22:49] <laura___> Tygart: I'm talking about the login screen
[22:50] <Tygart> laura___: the background image.
[22:51] <Tygart> laura___: check System Settings > Login screen
[22:51] <laura___> It's the little icon by my name. It's a silhouette of a male. I figured there would be a way to make it female
[22:54] <laura___> Tygart: Ok, I changed the background image. I'm going to restart to see if that worked. Thank you for your help : )
[22:59] <laura___> Tygart: Nope, that wasn't it either. It just changed the whole background. Do you see when you go into System Settings > Login Screen, and you see the person's face above his name? That's the picture I'm talking about. I know it's trivial, I just don't want to have a male's silhouette. LOL
[23:00] <Tygart> That should have been system settings -> account details
[23:00] <laura___> Tygart: I'll check again
[23:01] <Tygart> Oh and you don't need to restart
[23:01] <Tygart> just log out
[23:02] <laura___> Tygart: That was the image I changed at first, but it only changed the image on the when I click on the start button.
[23:03] <Tygart> I am not sure then.
[23:04] <laura___> Tygart: Thank you for your help. I know you're right about changing it in account details. I wonder why it isn't changing. I'll just deal with the image. It's not that big of a deal
[23:04] <dougl> is it dpkg -i packagename.deb?
[23:26] <Aison> Tygart, I found the error: because I reinstalled lightdm, the old user lightdm was removed and added again, but the lightdm user got a new UID
[23:27] <Aison> but the owner of /var/lib/lightdm was still assigned to the old UID
[23:59] <surfn__> hi
