[00:21] Hey guys, I installed kubuntu on my MacBook. Everything runs fine! :) But sometime ago a read something about the fan-system using linux. I should install some packages. Anyone suggestions? :) === Vito is now known as Vito_away [01:26] hi [01:27] I've got some questions concerning the look and feel of kubuntu [01:27] you dont like the look and feel? [01:28] when I open kwrite, type some stuff, and save it, dialogue window opens (to save it) [01:28] then I double click on an existing file in order to overwrite it [01:28] but: nothing happens... I double click, triple click... nothing... [01:29] is it only kwrite that is doing this [01:30] kate as well [01:30] lemme see if openoffice does the same... [01:30] one moment pls [01:30] cant you just select the file and just hit save? [01:30] also openoffice === sharky1 is now known as sharky [01:31] gotoguy, I could ... but why should we all miss features KDE3 already achieved [01:32] Kate askes nicely if i want to overwrite. [01:33] OerHeks, what version pls? [01:33] I am on Kubuntu 12.04 LTS [01:33] double click seems to just put the name in then your asked to overwrite [01:34] kate 3.9.3 [01:34] after you hit save [01:34] if I click on "save", I also get the same question [01:34] only double clicking does not give me this question [01:36] Marius80: That's just how it is in KDE 4. KDE 4 is not like KDE 3. [01:37] hm [01:37] ditto for monkeyjuice, that's how mine works too. [01:37] also happens in 4.9.90 [01:37] Snowhog, I guess you are a developer and you're annoyed by many people's questions like "why does kde4 not behave like kde3?" :-) [01:39] Why is BasKet Notes now broke when it worked perfectly in KDE3? I know why, but I guess the maintainer isn't going to fix it either. [01:40] I wrote the maintainer of Basket Notes a email and he said no new versions are planned. Even though it is now in Beta. [01:41] I thinkit is a good system, double click on a file to replace it does not replace it without warning. [01:41] Marius80: I recommend reporting a bug on bugs.kde.org [01:41] the maintainers probably know why that functionality was removed [01:42] I would rather have it NOT overwrite without asking to be sure. [01:43] It's not a bug, it's a feature. === kubuntu is now known as Guest86914 [01:44] an other annoying thing: a window is set to "keep above others" [01:45] then I open krunner (ALT+F2) [01:45] and krunner is not on the top, it is behind the window [01:45] you did tell kwin to keep a window above everything else [01:45] which is exactly what it's doing [01:46] shadeslayer, actually kde3 knew, that the run window should be "more above" [01:47] make a new window rule to do that? [01:47] krunner altF2 shows on top of any window that i marked 'keep above others' [01:48] same here [01:48] OerHeks, in kubuntu 12.04 ? [01:48] no, 12.10 [01:48] hum... I might need to upgrade [01:49] does in 12.10 the Enter-Bug exist? [01:49] Enter-Bug? [01:49] ALT+F2 ... type in a command... then enter... [01:49] enter again [01:49] enter... [01:49] and then it starts [01:49] Marius80: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:49] sorry for flooding [01:49] never heard of such a bug [01:49] Nope, that glitch is solved [01:50] now it shows directly with typing the available command/commands and responds to enter [01:50] I might need to install 12.10 [01:51] since 12.10 offers no alternate install cd... can I use the xubuntu one and install kubuntu-desktop later on? [01:51] try: apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade will do the trick. [01:52] hi, i'm trying to setup samba shares with dolphin and i keep getting asked for a password on the other side [01:52] can someone help me [01:53] gotoguy, thx [01:53] one more question... [01:53] no prob. [01:53] in the open dialogue window (e.g. from kwrite) I would like to achieve the following behaviour [01:54] 1 click on folders should open them but to open files, I want to use double clicks [01:54] (as it was on kde3) [01:55] I could only find a setting to make folders and files open by double click or single click [01:55] but I couldn't find an option to make folders open with a single click and files with a double click [01:55] Marius80: use the mini.iso and install kubuntu-desktop [01:56] Marius80: such an option doesn't exist [01:56] probably because the developers thought that it would be inconsistent [01:57] hum [01:57] I wish for that feature too. [01:57] gotoguy, what can we do to make developers build this feature? [01:58] probably write a comment to the developers mailing list. [01:59] first you have to join the list. [01:59] gotoguy, would you mind asking? [02:00] Yeah, thats a good idea, I will do it. [02:00] thank you very much gotoguy [02:00] no prob. [02:01] its the little things that make it better ;) [02:02] oh... one more thing found: [02:03] kwrite should open in the the folder a file has been opened from last [02:03] example: Last time I used kwrite, I was in /var/www/vhosts/test.tld [02:03] when I open kwrite again, I am in /home/user/Documents [02:06] Marius80: right click your icon, the change the default path to open. [02:08] brb. [02:12] hi ralfi & 5 clones [02:14] lol [04:10] hi guys, since few weeks I have a strange proble using amarok which often speeds up my cpus work's and so even temperature ...., some good start point to understand wath's going on ? [04:11] opening a terminal and typing a command called "top" will show you what is using up the PC's resources [04:12] yeah Platypus-Man I already checked and is amarok .... [04:13] and now it doesn't works anymore at all ... [04:13] no sound ... [04:13] ok, I'm a noob, so I have no clue beyond that really :p [04:13] ok , i'll check the phonon backend ...

Problem is I can't figure out where kubuntu installs kate developer header files or what package it is in (libkate-dev is installed but missing files mainwindow.h/plugin.h), Anyone who knows? [12:41] mike7b4_lenovo: the development files for kate aren't shipped [12:42] mike7b4_lenovo: if you need them please file a bug [12:42] hmm ok [13:26] help me please, why network manager ignores its vpn dns settings?

[14:58] bodom: I've no idea, but if you installed, and go in K menu and type "telep" it should appear [14:58] maybe after a pair of minutes since you installed [14:59] markit: that's what i supposed too, but there's no sign of it [14:59] open a terminal, start typing telep and then press TAB one or more tiles [14:59] look if there is a name that could fit it [14:59] then run it [15:00] markit: nothing again === mynick is now known as brun0 [15:00] bodom: ehm, are you sure it was installed? what version of kubuntu are you using? [15:00] markit: neither ktel, k-tel, etc.. [15:00] I think it is easier to do it trough krunner [15:01] markit: i've used sudo apt-get install telepathy-core kde-telepathy, not 100% sure, but command completed without errors [15:01] start typing telep [15:01] it should appear [15:01] let me try with a live cd in a VM [15:01] it's quantal [15:02] bodom: of course you are type in lowercase [15:02] markit: ofc, i'm using linux since 12 years [15:03] so it's quantal or I have to check? [15:03] probably telephaty is the underlaying "technology" or "layer" AFAIR [15:05] bodom try launching it form krunner, that is the way I do it, anyway the next time you boot it will start so you should try reboot [15:07] Rayonant: I cannot find it on krunner, will try reboot, but i cannot atm [15:09] bodom, have checked the System Settings for the 'Instant Messaging Accounts' icon? [15:09] *have you checked... [15:11] dimitrispt: i have one account defined there, disconnected [15:11] then, as Rayonant said, you need to reboot... or re-login [15:13] i may be old-school, but is it possible that there is no command line executable to launch it? [15:17] finally found it! It's ktp-* === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [15:30] glad you found it bodom :) [16:08] please press the power button on the kubuntu.org server or something [16:12] i was wondering if there is a ppa or something for the kde 4.10 RC [16:14] haakonn: there should be one but i don'0t remember ... and of course it's not supported [16:14] yay kubuntu.org is back [16:14] Peace-: that's a given [16:14] does anyone know how to change the position for the OSD for brightness and volume? [16:14] seems there is only beta 2 [16:18] no, it's actually 4.9.95 == 4.10 RC, yay [16:27] haakonn: will be a backport of 4.10 for 12.04? [16:27] I only see ppa for 12.10... [16:28] the rc is in ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta [16:29] haakonn: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.9.90 says is for 12.10, not for 12.04 [16:30] markit: oh, yes, i'm on 12.10 [16:30] if you're on 12.04, you're not supposed to like new things [16:31] haakonn: well, is 4.10, not 5.0 [16:31] markit: there are no official backports planned for 12.04, usually you get backports only for the current stable release [16:32] yofel: ah, not for LTS also? mmm [16:32] I've an issue with plasma at 16bpp, almost unusable, hope they fixed in 4.10 === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 [16:33] not for the LTS, no. It's a matter of what you can support (and have time for) [16:35] yofel: sure, just hoped :) [16:45] well no one is here at night. how about this morning? [16:47] artichoku, if you don't ask a question nobody answers you [16:47] post your REAL question, and wait [16:48] it can take time to get a response [16:48] especially this time of year. === administrator is now known as Guest6187 [16:51] I recently did a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.10 64bit. I'm trying to switch from the STA wifi driver to the b43.

[19:02] I do! [19:03] Bigcheese, my f12 keybinding isn't working [19:03] is it necessary some workaround ? [19:04] make sure it's the global key for it. [19:04] And that yakuake is actually running. [19:05] Bigcheese, yes i ran the ps command and it's runnin [19:05] Bigcheese, yes i ran the ps command and it's running [19:05] how can check the global key ? [19:06] I've only done it from within yakuake. [19:08] Bigcheese, there is a option inside Shortcuts configuration [19:08] the option is Open/Retract Yakuake [19:08] Yeah [19:08] The far right column is the global key. [19:08] Shortcut is clean and Global is with F12 value [19:08] Are you on a laptop? [19:08] Global has f12 value [19:09] no [19:09] i'm using a desktop [19:09] Does your keyboard do stuff? [19:09] :P [19:09] Like have multifunction function keys. [19:14] Dude [19:16] Hi [19:16] I have a problem with the trema. when I type ë, I get ê. what does that mean? [19:32] Bigcheese, when i changed to F7 it worked [19:32] good [19:32] i think there is some conflict with some KDE shortcut [19:32] Something was probably stealing F12. [20:02] Yakuake uses F12. [20:12] hey all, is there a way in kubuntu to export all of my desktop settings to import into another computer? thanks [20:13] skrite: If that computer will be running KDE, everything is under ~/.kde [20:14] Or you could just copy your entire home directory to the new machine. :-) [20:15] DarthFrog: i am looking to do this also for upgrade purposes. like saving a 12.04 settings and place the .kde folder into place over my .kde when i bump up to 12.10 [20:16] DarthFrog: thanks for your help ! [20:48] I am requesting assistance replacing the broadcom STA driver with the b43 driver. I'm running kubuntu 12.10. I have tried the following. purge of sta and install of b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer. also tried b43-fwcutter in combo with the legacy and lpphy installers. both added and removed b43 from blacklist.conf. seems no matter what i do it won't let me use the b4 driver, but hardware info indicates that my card i [20:48] s supported. However, i have received an error on multiple occasions that the driver must be installed manually. [21:12] mm trying 4.10 (.95), with a black backtroundn or a terminal open those trasparencies of K menu or activities or calendar or whatever are unreadable... am I doing something wrong? [21:26] umm..i need help === n00b is now known as Guest54367 [21:28] can someone help me? [21:28] KJ_agent007, if you ask your actual question maybe [21:28] nobody'll help you unless you provide details [21:28] such as what's wrong. [21:28] ok..how do i change to different rooms? [21:29] TheLordOfTime: you are discounting all the people in the chatroom who are telepathic [21:29] thelionroars, which is 3 people. [21:29] all of whom havent posted for 3 months :P [21:29] how can i find different rooms on here? [21:29] yes, shame on you [21:29] just /j the #channel [21:30] so /j #ubuntu [21:30] or whatever channel you want to join [21:30] how do i find the channels? [21:31] you can use the /list command [21:32] and whats that? [21:32] KJ_agent007 which client are you using? [21:32] but the output is fairly big [21:32] im using..Quassel IRC [21:32] im runnin Kubuntu Linux [21:32] KJ_agent007: there is also Konversation :) [21:33] I prefer Konversation to Quassel. [21:33] where do i find different rooms on here? [21:33] KJ_agent007: looking for the GUI option, please stay tuned, mate [21:33] ;) [21:36] you can join a channel with a button in the toolbar [21:36] bt i can't find a channel list window :S [21:36] hmmm [21:36] okk [21:36] thank you anyways [21:37] KJ_agent007: try installing Konversation, is in the software center [21:38] okk [21:38] the problem I have with Konversation, which I'm using now, is that I can't work out how to auto-identify to more than one server at once [21:38] found it [21:39] If my identity identifies to freenode, when I go on quakenet it will try to contact nickserv on quakenet also [21:39] can you edit the server settings and set a password? If you put your nickserv password there it should auto identify as well [21:41] I'll try the commands section under the server, hopefully that'll work === opieng is now known as help === help is now known as Guest39819 === Guest39819 is now known as opieng [22:34] anyone here using kde 4.95 (4.10)?

[22:40] (the problem I mean) [22:40] i confirm i dont know what u r talking about [22:42] kristjan: because you have kde 4.10 and not my proble, or you don' thave kde 4.10 at all and just want to make me aware you are alive?

[23:02] what problem? just install and hope :) [23:03] !mini | You can install the core system with a debian installer here [23:03] You can install the core system with a debian installer here: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:03] Marius80: if you enter "Y" the lubuntu desktop will be removed, and kubuntu installed, that's ok.

[23:05] actually I can only connect to my WIFI using the KDE interface or the one from Lubuntu... whenever I tried using the shell, it did not work out [23:05] same goes for the wicd program.... it does not connect to the WIFI [23:05] so I prefered using a graphical installation [23:06] but thank you very much for the advice [23:06] markit? [23:07] markit: I am not sure if it is really okay to hit "Y" [23:07] Marius80: I think it is, in any case you don't have any other choice [23:08] markit: I go for it... will you try to help me resolving the dependencies after the installation finished? [23:08] Marius80: I'm trying to help libreoffice 4.0 QA at the moment, but sure if I have some spare time [23:09] markit: erm... how comes, apt-get offers to do it without any hassle? [23:09] I mean, I will be around for an hour at least, so feel free to ask, hope you will be able to reconnect though [23:09] Marius80: well, how could they predict all the relation and problems that can arise from some thousand packets? [23:10] apt just warns you about what it knows... dependencies declared by the packagers [23:10] markit: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=9JSjWxnV [23:10] in any case, seems you will miss dependencies for non essential programs [23:10] let me see [23:11] ok, fine [23:12] would you trust apt-get over aptitude in this case? [23:15] hi guys! [23:15] is there any way to install kde-4.10 rcs on 12.04 ? [23:16] try backports [23:16] doctorpepper: see http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.9.90 [23:16] doctorpepper: hell don't try that [23:16] ? works like a charm here [23:17] I installed kde from backports and what I got is the reason why I reinstalled the system [23:17] oha this shouldn't happen. what problems did you had exactly? [23:17] parts of the system settings _always_ crahsed when opening [23:17] the ALT+F2 krunner dialog was messed up [23:18] and unmet dependencies [23:18] jEhrichs: the links is actually for 12.10 not 12.04 [23:18] I installed kde 4.9.3 (I think) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [23:18] ah wupps now that you mentionion it. yeah i have 12.10 running. [23:19] oh I see [23:19] sorry [23:19] did not know that... no clue if it works in 12.10... I am on 12.10 since about 20 minutes [23:19] Marius80: I have 12.04 in some pc with backports, and kde works fine, maybe you messed it up with something else [23:19] still this should not happen. but seems it might be really better to stay away from 4.10 on kubuntu 12.04 [23:19] jEhrichs: there is NO 4.10 in 12.04 [23:20] markit: I need to tell that I have also had installed the trinity-desktop [23:20] M*narf* 12.04 was what i meant [23:20] maybe thats why [23:20] maybe... ;P [23:20] btw, my netbook now has 12.10 with 4.10 and seems to work fine [23:21] except a transparency issue, but I do fear is a mad kde design decision [23:21] ok then I will try that out here [23:21] laptop with 12.10 and 4.10 running fine since 2 days [23:21] markit: as you know, I am on Lubuntu 12.10 [23:21] markit: transparency in plasma design? this seems to be a bug [23:21] jEhrichs: do you have visual effects enabled, and K menu, calendar, activities etc plasmoid with transparencies? [23:21] at the moment, "ubuntu-desktop" is installing (Gnome) [23:22] how would I install KDE 4.10 from backports? Should I NOT install "kubuntu-desktop" for that? [23:22] i switched the plasma theme back and fourth and everything looks normal again [23:22] Marius80: first, install kubuntu NORMAL [23:22] then if system is stable, activate backport and do an upgrade [23:22] you are doing a too far jump otherwise, OMHO [23:22] jEhrichs: do you mind my showing you a picture of what I mean? [23:23] markit: feel free to show it [23:23] by saying "install kubuntu normal" - do you mean I shall delete my system (Lubuntu) ? [23:23] or do you mean I should install "kubuntu-desktop" [23:23] jEhrichs: http://imagebin.org/240703 [23:23] no need to delete "lubuntu" you can install kubuntu.desktop and use both systems [23:24] Marius80: I mean you should not activate additional PPA for backports or kde [23:24] s/or/of [23:24] jEhrichs: does it happen to you too? do you have effects activated? [23:25] markit: my desktop looked simmilar after the desktop. I switched the Plasma theme from air to something else and now back to "Air for netbooks" and this one looks normal and correct [23:25] I've opened a terminal full screen to show it better [23:25] i assume this is a bug in the "Air" plasma theme [23:26] jEhrichs: maybe a config problem then? you mean you switched back to the same theme? [23:26] (I usually don't change theme, don't remember them by name) [23:26] no in conculsion i swutched from "Air" (the default) to "Air for netbooks" kinda like the default [23:26] *switched [23:27] the "Air" theme is still bugged with the mising/transparent backgrounds [23:28] jEhrichs: something devs are aware, or better file a bug? [23:29] ok, gnome has installed... I need to switch my desktop environment... will be back soon... then I try to install KDE [23:29] see you soon [23:29] no idea, i just assumed this was already be filed as this was very present right after the update (so everyone should have noticed it) [23:31] jEhrichs: is just I fear so much the "aesthetic madness" that thought was a new brilliant decision to make it "cooler" [23:32] nah I really can't believe this was done on purpose. otherwise we would have gotten thum blurred baackground instead === Catbuntu is now known as Neshemah
