| BluesKaj | roland, you can the file associations by using the "open with"(right click dialog) option and choose "other" , then in the menu type okular and check the box beside "remember application association" | 14:08 |
| roland | BluesKaj: when I click on the file in dolphin, it opens the correct application | 14:09 |
| BluesKaj | roland, you can change that in FF edit preferences applications tab | 14:12 |
| roland | BluesKaj: doesn't work, changed to okular, restarted firefox, still open "import with gimp" window | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | roland, did you see my post about the FF FF edit>preferences>?applications tab | 14:18 |

| cjae | will installing xbindkeys xautomation break the currently working logitech "extra keys" and what is enabling these working keys now? | 16:45 |
| draciron | Been trying for a week now to get a friend going on Kubuntu w/o success. She needs the Nvidia96 driver | 16:53 |
| draciron | however short of installing Nvidia binary and having to reinstall every time the kernel is updated, a rather gruesome thing to ask a first time Linux user | 16:54 |
| draciron | I can't find a way to get those drivers working for her. Anybody have any ideas? | 16:54 |
| shadeslayer | the driver should be automatically reinstalled whenever the kernel is updated | 16:55 |
| shadeslayer | !nvidia | 16:55 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 16:55 |
| BluesKaj | draciron, first are you sure that's correct driver for her card and which nvidia card is it | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | draciron,?^ | 16:56 |
| draciron | Mostly, the novoua is a disaster which leaves her low rez. Nvidia curren leaves her with cursor issue | 16:57 |
| draciron | She looked up her card and it showed nvidia 96 | 16:57 |
| draciron | It's an older emachine apparently. | 16:57 |
| Katbuntu | Hi | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | yes but which card please , draciron? | 16:58 |
| draciron | Asking, one sec | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | draciron, lspci | grep VGA | 16:58 |
| draciron | nvidia GeForce 4MX | 17:01 |
| draciron | Hi Katbuntu | 17:05 |
| Katbuntu | Hi draciron | 17:05 |
| BluesKaj | yup draciron , I had to be sure , but that card needs the legacy drivers you mentioned and that ould be problematic. Make sure the install is up to date by updating and upgrading | 17:06 |
| Katbuntu | I use Nouveau and it's better than nvidia propietary drivers... And with a nvidia 9300m gs | 17:06 |
| draciron | It's been updated, though new kernel update today she hasn't applied. | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | yes nouveau is really quite good nowadays , of course that depends on the card | 17:07 |
| draciron | problematic is an understatement. | 17:07 |
| draciron | the nouveau dumps her into low rez mode Katbuntu | 17:07 |
| Katbuntu | Yep | 17:08 |
| draciron | If she downgrades xorg she gets stuck in dependency hell. | 17:08 |
| Katbuntu | Ironically I have more problems with restricted drivers, I'll never understand. | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps the kernel update will help if the modules for nouveau kernel module is updated as well | 17:09 |
| draciron | if she installs from Nvidia website every time there's a kernel update it'll wipe her out and this is her FIRST experience w/Linux. | 17:09 |
| BluesKaj | draciron, 12.10 ? | 17:09 |
| draciron | yep 12.10 | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | what kind of pc specs ? | 17:10 |
| Katbuntu | draciron: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic | 17:10 |
| draciron | old eMachine | 17:10 |
| Katbuntu | It's an issue with propietary drivers on Quantal | 17:10 |
| draciron | she's already got headers & srcinstalled. | 17:10 |
| Katbuntu | ow | 17:10 |
| draciron | If there's support on a different version can move her to that. I just had her install the LTS since that's what I use | 17:11 |
| draciron | and that way it'd be easier for me to help her. | 17:12 |
| BluesKaj | linux isn't magic , but if she has 1G RAM and and decent cpu , 12.10 should run | 17:12 |
| draciron | It runs great, and aside from cursor issues and no OpenGL and other driver specific issues it runs great on her system. | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | then there are other versions that don't need fancier hardware like xubuntu etc | 17:13 |
| draciron | She's a first time Linux user, KDE is by far best way for her to start w/Linux. | 17:14 |
| cjae | thats a matter of opinion | 17:15 |
| draciron | Maybe after she's grown to appreciate Linux she can try other desktop managers, though I wouldn't inflict unity on anyone lol | 17:15 |
| draciron | I've introduced dozens of people to Linux and the ones that stayed with it were almost all those who started w/KDE. | 17:15 |
| draciron | KDE lessons the learning curve considerably. | 17:16 |
| BluesKaj | cjae, it's a matter of what works for you , opinion doesn't matter | 17:16 |
| cjae | lol | 17:16 |
| cjae | what works for me is my opinion | 17:17 |
| draciron | That allows them to explore linux w/o having to relearn keystrokes, etc. | 17:17 |
| draciron | It's been me experience. I used to start lots of folks w/Gnome but had a very high failure rate w/folks who started w/Gnome. | 17:18 |
| draciron | The UI was too different and the learning curve discouraged many. | 17:18 |
| BluesKaj | it also depends on what their area of computer use and experience is with windows or mac which determines how easily ppl adjust to kubuntu | 17:18 |
| quizno50 | I started my very non-technical wife with LXDE, she hated it; then I switched her to Unity when 12.04 came out, she loved it. (She hates using my Kubuntu Computer) So, I guess it really depends on the person. | 17:19 |
| === Katbuntu is now known as Guest10632 | ||
| cjae | two desktops | 17:20 |
| draciron | True. Though Unity seems like a serious pain, though win8 seems like a flat out theft of unity desktop | 17:21 |
| cjae | just use kdm | 17:21 |
| draciron | reminds me anybody had any experience getting around EFI? I've got a new laptop I'm working on installing Kubuntu on but | 17:21 |
| cjae | i have it working with no errors | 17:21 |
| draciron | struggling to get around the EFI so I can install | 17:22 |
| quizno50 | draciron: I put Kubuntu on my MacBook a while back, and honestly: I couldn't get the EFI stuff working at all... I had to use the BIOS emulation | 17:22 |
| cjae | and nautilus is transfering files better than dolphin right now, if you want gui transfers | 17:23 |
| draciron | This is a new win8 machine. No bios emulation option :( | 17:23 |
| draciron | it's pure EFI, no bios support at all. | 17:23 |
| draciron | I use Krusader personally. Despise Dolphin. | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | i have np transferring files with dolphin ..woking well here | 17:24 |
| draciron | That and good ole command line depending on what I'm doing. | 17:24 |
| quizno50 | Ouch... Hmmm... Last I played with it; I was able to get a USB stick to boot using the EFI stuff, but it took a lot of trial and error, but this was also the MacBook, no clue about newer Win8 systems =( | 17:25 |
| cjae | BluesKaj: your on 12.10 arent you | 17:25 |
| draciron | yeah no luck w/stick or USB DVD or DVD. | 17:25 |
| draciron | Yep 12.10 | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | cjae, yes | 17:25 |
| cjae | BluesKaj: I think there is a problem on 12.04 with kio-slave | 17:26 |
| draciron | Got to be a way to do it, been cussing at it 2 days now lol. The lap top I'm typing on now is ancient. | 17:26 |
| === Guest10632 is now known as Katbuntu | ||
| BluesKaj | was experimenting with 13.04 on another partition but the 3.7 kernel doesn't like my HW and the 3.5 alternative screws my graphics | 17:26 |
| draciron | Need to upgrade before this one dies :( | 17:26 |
| BluesKaj | cjae, drag and drop isn't working in some cases on 12.10 either ...tried copying some music file from a cd which used to work without k3b , but not anymore | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | err some music files | 17:30 |
| * cjae is upset about k3b | 17:31 | |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: HI | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | hi phoenix_firebrd | 17:32 |
| draciron | Guess it's time for plan B, SUSE :( | 17:37 |
| BluesKaj | cjae, the latest upgrades must have fixed the drop and drag / copy and paste problem with kio-slave , just testing a cd and the copy and paste appears to be working now | 17:39 |
| cjae | cool | 17:39 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: whats the problem? | 17:40 |
| * dougl thinks the kubuntu install is the problem for draciron | 17:41 | |
| cjae | holy sweet fudge is my external ever hot inside | 17:41 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dougl: why so? | 17:41 |
| dougl | phoenix_firebrd, sorry - I have no real insight but was wondering if there were install issues for draciron as kubuntu intalls since 12.04 were like root canals for me on my hardware. | 17:43 |
| cjae | must be good for life of device | 17:43 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dougl: Do you have a problem during installation? | 17:47 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dougl: wifi? | 17:47 |
| dougl | yes - used netbootin or something to get it installed. | 17:49 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dougl: netbootin ? why? | 17:51 |
| cjae | BluesKaj: which cd? | 17:51 |
| phoenix_firebrd | dougl: tried to install from a usb? | 17:51 |
| BluesKaj | a burned cd with wav files, cjae | 17:52 |
| cjae | BluesKaj: sorry, was the update on | 17:59 |
| cjae | which version of kde had the kio fix? | 18:06 |
| draciron | Kubuntu on the driver issue or the EFI? | 18:09 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: EFI? | 18:09 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: windows EFI? | 18:10 |
| draciron | Yeah it's a new win8 laptop and can't get into bios. | 18:10 |
| draciron | Yep winEFI | 18:10 |
| draciron | Can't get it to boot into install media, either USB or DVD. | 18:10 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: are you using a wireless keyboard? | 18:11 |
| draciron | I've got no qualms about installing Ubuntu then installing KDE post install, but LTS a big deal to me. | 18:11 |
| draciron | Nope, but wireless trackball. | 18:11 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: so wired keyboard? | 18:11 |
| draciron | yep, it's a laptop, using laptop KB. | 18:12 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: Did you read the manual to know which to access bios options | 18:12 |
| draciron | No bios options, have to boot into windoze to get to psudo bios, then select a temp boot order option, but when I do | 18:13 |
| draciron | get err msg no device I think it is. | 18:13 |
| draciron | one sec will power up and replicate. | 18:13 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: did you try f12 key or f10 during boot? | 18:14 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: tell me your laptop company name and model number | 18:15 |
| faris | Anybody using acer timeline series? | 18:15 |

| draciron | One of these new win8 abominations. | 18:20 |
| draciron | Already tried that, model too new. | 18:20 |
| draciron | The older methods of accessing bios don't work. | 18:20 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: Do you mean the secure boot issue? | 18:20 |
| draciron | That's what took hrs w/Toshiba tech support and I called them AFTER failing all the googled methods. | 18:20 |
| draciron | Aye, secure boot. | 18:21 |
| draciron | Can't get around win8's strangle hold on bios. | 18:21 |

| draciron | super grub? | 18:22 |
| draciron | There's a new version of grub? | 18:22 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: no it has been there for long | 18:23 |
| draciron | Though I'm not even getting that far. Can't even get it to see the media. | 18:23 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: Using it you can boot to any linux installs , thats includes your usb too | 18:23 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: Ubuntu has a solution for the secure boot, new grub version solves this problem | 18:24 |
| draciron | I've got media built, but can't get too it. can't get around the secure boot critter. | 18:24 |
| draciron | So no chance of using LTS? :( | 18:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: Does the laptop has a dvd drive and can it bbot from a dvd? | 18:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: Yes using super grub | 18:25 |
| draciron | Has a DVD, not sure if it can boot from it. | 18:25 |
| draciron | Though DVD was burned w/normal install from Kubuntu download site.. | 18:26 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: If you have no problem , try the super grub | 18:26 |
| draciron | DVD worked fine doing wipe and load on this machine, but no boot from new laptop. Googling super grub. | 18:27 |
| phoenix_firebrd | draciron: Download the super grub image and burn it to the dvd. Have the bootable Usb image inserted , boot using the super grub and boot into the usb | 18:28 |
