MichaelPOn my netbook i have 23 inch HD tv hooked up to hdmi... How do i make grub and plymounth boot show on both screens like it does on the livecd ?16:03
BluesKajMichaelP, look in system settings> Display&Monitor>Size &Orientation, check unify ouputs , apply16:08

=== pjoe_dj is now known as pjoe_afk
MichaelPBluesKaj, thanks16:23
BluesKajMichaelP, np , it worked for me with vga . I'm assuming hdmi isn't much differnt16:25
MichaelPNow see if that works16:25
3JTAAHPT8hi giuys , I cannot really understand the policy behind the release new versions of Amarok , I mean I love Amarok , and I had a lot of crashs problem last month, so I'm waiting for some upgrade hoping they will fix the problem , but now the upgrade is there...., and to ipgrade it I'll need to add a backport repository which of course can drive my system to a an unconfortable instability , so I'm just asking , is really the best way we have to spread the16:25
3JTAAHPT8 improvement of Amarok ?16:25
MichaelPBluesKaj, that put grub and plymouth on both screens16:25
hateball3JTAAHPT8: You can wait for the next release that has the latest version included16:26
=== paolo_ is now known as faLUCE
BluesKajMichaelP, isn't that what you want ?16:27
MichaelPyep16:27
MichaelPreboot and see what it does16:27
3JTAAHPT8yeah , of course but for now , if I want music , I just need to use something else, and who knows , maybe , I never come back to amarok , even if is a great software , but it has a bit of pbroblem yet .....16:27
MichaelPVLC16:28
BluesKaj3JTAAHPT8, amarok can work well, but it needs patience and a lot of attention , something for which i don't have time16:30
MichaelPvlc does both video and music... i use it in both linux and windows16:30
3JTAAHPT8I think hateball would be much better to use a separate repos just for Amarok , or other software which needs to grow up at different rhythm, to reach the same level of stability of the entire kde ...., anyway , is just my opinion , and probablly there are many reasons to do in the actual way...16:30
BluesKajyeah , VLC is my fav media player ... does everything16:31
hateballSure, except manage a library and other such things some users might need16:31
BluesKajlibraries are a PITA to me I just play the files from the folder16:32
lordievader3JTAAHPT8: You could try Clementine, it's a fork of Amarok 1.416:33
3JTAAHPT8yeah of course BluesKaj, but I fill much more confortable with amarok , when we are talking about thousands and thousands of tracks , to mange , to give it a valuation, to bild a temporany playlist just with a string search , and much more thing that is not really the same in vlc , you don't thing so  ?16:33
BluesKajaltho clementine is easier to use than amarok16:33
hateballDifferent users, different use cases16:33
3JTAAHPT8lordievader: I'm actually using it , and is a nice software , but I hate to loose any semantic data I put in amarok before ......16:33
BluesKaj3JTAAHPT8, I don't open vlc to play the file , I have vlc setup to play all media file extensions16:34
BluesKajso I just play the files from the folders directly16:35
=== aswin is now known as zero_coder
3JTAAHPT8Like I said , I think that there are few software in kde which needs to run a bit faster for a while to reach the same levels of the other , and in my opinion they should be spread in a searate way until they reach the same stability ....., especially if you use those software like default program to do something ...16:36
3JTAAHPT8I mean guys , when I open Kubuntu for the first time, the default confing , doesn't give any real example that can show the real powerfull of kde ......, I open a web page and it will open rekonq , which is an half software in my opinion (it doesn't support some basic stuff in my opinion), I open Amarok to play some song , and often happens a crash if you play a bit more with it ...., the default player is Dragon Player , someone has really never use it16:39
3JTAAHPT8 !?!16:39
3JTAAHPT8I mean, I thing that changing a bit of things can improves a lot the first experience of a newbbie just arrived on kubuntu.......16:41
BluesKajwell rekonq is not ready for prime time altho it is getting better ...i've never used the default media apps on any OS16:41
BluesKajor browsers16:42
3JTAAHPT8ok BluesKaj I agree, is not ready yet , so why use it us a default software ......16:42
3JTAAHPT8I mean we aren't talking about a quite useless application, we are talking about the default tool to access the web .......16:43
BluesKaj3JTAAHPT8, I beleive the internet section in the kmenu has the firefox installer in the list by default16:43
3JTAAHPT8we are sure there aren't other better solution m before rekonq is ready ?16:43
3JTAAHPT8yeah but the installer ....16:43
BluesKajwell, just run it16:44
3JTAAHPT8why don't put firefo by default or chromium , and just gives the possibility to try even rekonq ......16:44
BluesKajhow many ppl in W7 or 8 use IE16:44
zero_coderpeople are still using windows :P16:45
3JTAAHPT8ahh ok , so we have to do the same as windows , of course .....16:45
3JTAAHPT8yah , but they try to change because they don't like it anymore , don't you think ?16:45
3JTAAHPT8anyway , mine was just a suggestion, and actually I'm using kubuntu since 5 years about, and I love it .......16:47
lordievaderNo one is ever going to agree on what should be the default browser, different person, different browser. Be glad you got apt-get to install your browser of choice.16:48
3JTAAHPT8and is because I love it , I would like that people that comes to try kubuntu should remain really satisfied, even at the first impression ......16:48
hateball3JTAAHPT8: You could perhaps ask on the mailing list16:49
hateballI agree, having *good* default is something to strive for, just saying "you can install something else, the default is not so good" is hardly the best way to remedy the problem16:49
3JTAAHPT8hateball: I don't have to ask nothing at moment, like I said I'm using Kubuntu in my work since years , and I don't have anymore those kind  of difficulty........16:50
hateball3JTAAHPT8: Well you don't, but as you said new users might16:51
hateballI'm not sure if  there's any better place than the mailing list to post such suggestions16:51
3JTAAHPT8that's why I think, the first start of kubuntu , shoulb really ready for a newbbie ......16:51
3JTAAHPT8for us wouldn't be a problem to setting up owr environment around owr needs ...., for them is just impossible even to image that is possible ......16:52
3JTAAHPT8about the installer of firefox  BluesKaj , I can image their face when after hours of installation in some case, they start the system , search a browser , and what they found a software not ready yet , or another installation ....., most of them get confused about that I guess .....16:57
lordievader3JTAAHPT8: For Windows it is the same?16:57
3JTAAHPT8yeah , and that's why shouldn't be the same on Kubuntu16:58
3JTAAHPT8actually it should be the MAIN reason to do it .. :D16:58
3JTAAHPT8and talking about rekonq , have it as a default software means , to have it as a default browser when open links from apps like thunderbird, even if I change any settings I know about it, and being rekonq a software not ready yet , it should be avoided I guess .....17:03

BluesKaj3JTAAHPT8, anyone with some computer experience shouldn't have a problem with installing Firefox , especially if he/she has the ability to install linux in the first place :)17:55
3JTAAHPT8of course BluesKaj, maybe some of them ae even capable to compile it , why we don't point them just to the source  :D , of course I'm jocking  .....17:56
youquexanyone use chromium?17:56
3JTAAHPT8I do youquex, and I love it ...17:57
youquexivew noticed, whjat I think is a minor difference compared to chrome17:57
youquexwhen you dont have any tabs, there is no new tab button17:57
youquexso you gotta go to the menu, and open one, then you get the tab17:57
3JTAAHPT8yeah , I saw it ......17:57
youquexkinda annoying17:57
youquexis it a chromium thing17:57
3JTAAHPT8or just use CTRL + T youquex17:57
youquexoh i know17:58
youquexive been using linux for n12+ years, im very good with shortcuts17:58
youquexim just curious if its a linux thing with chromium AND chrome, or its just chromium, and would be see the same on windows17:58
youquexits just a minor annoyance cause im so used to hitting the new tab button and typing an address17:59
3JTAAHPT8maybe some #chromium channel here !?!17:59
youquexgoogling doesnt give much a clue, just lots of complaints of people bitching about them removing the + sign from the new tab button18:00
youquexeh maybe, ive been on freenode for years, lemme loook18:00
3JTAAHPT8yeah youquex is there a #chromium channel on freenode, maybe they can tell us ... :)18:02
youquexya i know18:02
youquexi just asked18:02
youquexno answerszz yet18:02
youquexlol18:03
youquexthey want me to ask in chromium support18:03
3JTAAHPT8yeah , I see , I'm there18:04
youquex3JTAAHPT8: well they are saying its a ubuntu build thing18:06
youquexthey built it with weird options or something18:06
youquexor its an old version18:07
youquexbut its 23.x which is only one version down from the current stable18:07
3JTAAHPT8 about the suggestion to improve the default config of  kubuntu,  do you think is this http://www.kubuntuforums.net/forumdisplay.php?165-Round-Table-Discussions-Moderated the right place to talk about it, I mean talk to the council of Kubuntu !?! , should I dare to ? , because I didn't find any better place to do it ......18:07
BluesKajchromium doesn't integrate it's tab fonts well with kde ..so small that they're unreadable on a large monitor, the gtk settings don't do much either18:13
tsimpson3JTAAHPT8: the best place to do it is either on the kubuntu-devel mailing list, or report a bug on launchpad18:13
3JTAAHPT8report bug to prupose an improvement of default settings !?! I'm confused !?!18:13
tsimpsonyes18:14
3JTAAHPT8I would like to open a discussion on it and not report a bug actually .....18:14
tsimpsonthen use the mailing list18:15
tsimpsonhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel18:15
3JTAAHPT8ok tsimpson, but once I'm in where should I write it !? :O18:21
tsimpson3JTAAHPT8: you write an email to the address shown18:21
tsimpsonit'll get sent to all subscribers to the list, including the council and and development team18:22
3JTAAHPT8ok tsimpson, i'll do it , thanks ...18:23

fkmIs it possible to _not_ theme the login screen (LightDM) in the newest version of Kubuntu?20:49
