[01:33] <bjrohan> How do I change my username in a fresh install of kubunut, as well as my computer name?
[01:37] <SIR_Taco> bjrohan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038214       http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=83107
[01:42] <bjrohan> SIR_Taco: that helps a bit, I got Kuser running, found my misspelled name, but I don't see where to change the login name, only the home dir
[01:43] <bjrohan> SIR_Taco: add a new user?
[01:43] <bjrohan> I have nothing in my home dir yet
[01:43] <bjrohan> it is a fresh install
[01:47] <SIR_Taco> bjrohan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5504884&postcount=5
[02:11] <bjrohan> SIR_Taco: how does one get into a recovery console in Kubunte, so I can change my username
[02:13] <bjrohan> SIR_Taco: this is done a boot time, then select a CLI
[02:22] <SIR_Taco> bjrohan, should be able to select it from the grub menu. Or, if you don't have a grub menu (ie, just Kubuntu installed) hold down the shift key when booting
[02:22] <bjrohan> I have the GRUB menu, I go into recovery, I then drop out to a shell prompt but when I type: usermod -l newname -m -d /home/newname oldname
[02:23] <bjrohan> it says it can't get a lock on /etc/password
[02:23] <bjrohan> The command was from the link you sent :-)
[02:27] <SIR_Taco> bjrohan, and instead of 'newname' you used the new user name, and instead of 'oldname' you used the old user name?
[02:28] <bjrohan> yes :-)
[02:30] <SIR_Taco> bjrohan, add "sudo" (without the quotes) to the beginning of that command
[02:30] <bjrohan> I tried that as well
[02:30] <SIR_Taco> bjrohan, when given the options, did you drop to shell, or root shell?
[02:31] <bjrohan> root shell my CL says root@bjrohan-Laptop#
[02:31] <SIR_Taco> hmm
[02:32] <bjrohan> it is odd, I tried sudo usermod -l bjrohan bjrhan
[02:33] <bjrohan> still said couldn't get /etc/password lock
[02:35] <SIR_Taco> bjrohan, what about usermod -l newuser -m olduser
[02:42] <bjrohan> I messed something up. Now I can log in
[02:43] <bjrohan> I enter my password, screen goes blank, and then back to login screen
[02:43] <phunyguy_t430s> no login shell set?
[02:45] <bjrohan> As it is a fresh install, I can just create a new user all together
[02:48] <bjrohan> grrr
[02:53] <bjrohan> SIR_Taco: When I do you line: usermod -l newuser -m olduser it says bjrhan does not exist, that is exactly my old name, I know it is b/c the dir is /home/bjrhan
[06:00] <Bradley23> my sound stopped working after this latest update. what do i do?
[06:04] <Bradley23> i have to go. i will be back in about an hour.
[06:42] <contrast> Greets, everyone... Anybody using the 4.10 beta? I'm wondering if it's stable enough for general use yet.
[06:44] <Guest74242> hi all. asking something. my java program launches a website (which has java applet) inside firefox. essentially, what it does is Runtime.getRuntime.exec("firefox www.mywebsitewithappletinside.com"). my firefox can open the page, but it can NOT render the applet. strangely, when i run "firefox www.mywebsitewithappletinside.com" at konsole, the page can be opened correctly, and the applet is rendered well. i use oracle jre 6.38
[06:59] <iroh> the sound on my Acer laptop stopped working after the latest upgrade. it still works on win 7. Kmix reported that the sound cards were no longer installed. I removed, and reinstalled PulsAudio, but no change. What should i do?
[06:59] <iroh> *sorry, not latest upgrad, but last update.
[07:02] <contrast> iroh: Did you check the device settings in Phonon (System Settings -> Multimedia)?
[07:23] <iroh> contrast: yes. the Internal Audio Stereo is Selected, but no sound.
[07:25] <iroh> i am currently usint oneiric, but will be upgrading to precise. hopefully that will make a difference.
[07:33] <iroh> i will be back after Precise downloads and installs (hopefully the sound will return).
[08:11] <invariant> When is 4.9.5 going to be released for precise?
[08:18] <tsimpson> invariant: #kubuntu-devel would be a better place to ask

[13:03] <Peace-> Linusnewb: i have found a solution but it's in italian
[13:03] <Bradley23> Peace-: I was using oneiric, and after the last update, the audio stopped working. i just dled the precise lts upgrade, and it still no longer recognizes the sound thru the video card (intel gma 4500M), and what sound that does come thru the laptop speakers sounds "tinny".

[13:29] <ronnoc> BluesKaj: Good morning!
[13:29] <Peace-> bye bye
[13:44] <Bradley23> hello. i just upgraded to Precise Pangolin (LTS), and the upgrade turned out well in most regards. I am having a hard time with Konqueror not System Settings defaults for .xpfs files, which i found a work around, but i would just like Konqueror to not steal the playlist files. and Karbon looks like it was hit with a chinese puzzle board made for a cell phone screen. How do i change it back?
[13:53] <Bradley23> Krita isn't as bad, but all if my settings are gone. Is there a way to get them back?
[13:53] <Bradley23> all of my settings are gone
[14:29] <EdenOnEarth> hello all: can anyone recommend  a good bash scripting chat room?
[14:30] <avihay> about krita's specific issues, it might be better to ask in the calligra channel. the upgrade process itself shouldn't have changed your personal settings (much)
[14:31] <OerHeks> EdenOnEarth, try #bash (741 people in it)
[14:32] <EdenOnEarth> thank you (:
[14:34] <TheLordOfTime> !crosspost | EdenOnEarth, even though yoru question was answered
[15:42] <doctorpepper> is there  any way to get kde-4.10 beta on 12.04 ?
[15:43] <Tm_T> doctorpepper: other than by compiling it by yourself not that I know
[16:29] <bjrohan_> I just purchased a new laptop and installed Kubuntu 12.10. The laptop has a microphone, but I can not get it to work, can anyone lend a hand?
[16:34] <OerHeks> bjrohan_, in #ubuntu you say you installed ubuntu LoLz
[16:35] <bjrohan_> yes, b/c they are picky over there. My understanding is that the base is the same
[16:35] <bjrohan_> if I say I installed kubuntu in ubuntu channel they don't respond
[16:36] <bazhang> so which is it
[16:37] <bjrohan_> ?
[16:37] <bjrohan_> me?
[16:37] <bjrohan_> It is Kubuntu
[16:37] <bazhang> kubuntu or ubuntu
[16:37] <bazhang> is anything muted in alsamixer
[16:39] <bjrohan_> I installed gnome alsa mixer and from what I can tell, nothing is muted
[16:39] <bjrohan_> although I messed something up, as now in playing with te settings, I don't get any audio out :-(
[16:40] <shadeslayer> for starters check kmix
[16:40] <bjrohan_> I got it back. interesting I have like 6 different output options (hp with beates audio)
[16:41] <bjrohan_> Kmix won't start for some reason
[16:41] <bjrohan_> I can start it from the laucher, the icon spins around in the taskbar, then nothing appears
[16:42] <bjrohan_> I have gnome alsa and pulse audio controls up
[16:43] <bjrohan_> The mic works, I have NO idea how
[16:43] <bjrohan_> too many options for ths noob
[16:44] <OerHeks> maybe this works for you > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1911822
[16:46] <bjrohan_> OerHeks: That did help, yesterday only 2 of my 5 speakers worked adding options snd-hda-intel model=ref to alsa config file got all speakers working
[16:46] <bjrohan_> Mic does now work, not sure what settings I changed, I will play and learn after my webinar :-). thank you all for the insight to get me this far!
[16:48] <OerHeks> have fun
[16:49] <bjrohan_> Yes, Linux is a boatload o fun for sure. I do enjoy it
[18:13] <alaa> hello
[18:15] <alaa> I have a question,is kubuntu.org/feature-tour really has screenshots that goes back to KDE 4.3.2 ?!
[18:17] <alaa> and if yes,why its not updated ?
[18:19] <alaa> just throwing a question worth thinkging about,I gotta leave for now.
[18:36] <bjrohan> Does anyone know of a plasma widget for FFMPEG desktop recording?
[18:39] <Deldeeric> total noob here, what would be the best app to use in order to manipulate multiple html files and extract specific data between tags.. I've been using sgrep, bad move?
[18:39] <bjrohan> bjrohan: Hi
[19:28] <iulian_> hello, can someone please can help me to fix this    http://paste.kde.org/627428/
[19:47] <ronnoc> not I, iulian_....Have you asked in kubuntu-devel? Seems technical enough to maybe warrant asking there.
[19:50] <iulian_> ronnoc: i just messed up some icons after update and now need to know what is origianal text in /usr/share/applications/kde/kresources.desktop
[23:50] <bjrohan> Is there a way to change how often the network manager refreshes available networks, or is there a way to force a refresh?
