| Secris | I changed the theme to Zion (reversed) and kate is still showing black text | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| Torch | Secris: you mean why do the colours in kate not change with the global colour theme? | 00:16 |
| Secris | basically | 00:16 |
| Torch | Secris: if that is indeed the question, the answer is that kate has its own colour schemes | 00:16 |
| Secris | So I will need to get more color schemes? | 00:18 |
| Torch | Secris: just set the colour scheme in kate the way you want it | 00:19 |

| doctorpepper | hi guys!!! | 13:51 |
| doctorpepper | can anyone help me please, i am using ktorrent with a proxy and it seems that ktorrent ignores completly the proxy settings | 14:04 |
| invariant | doctorpepper, I recommend you do the proxy part via some other tool. | 14:10 |
| invariant | doctorpepper, that way you know that kproxy doesn't need to have that logic. | 14:10 |
| invariant | doctorpepper, and if you use some well tested tool, you are less likely to have any issues. | 14:10 |
| doctorpepper | actually the same setup used to work 6 months ago | 14:11 |
| invariant | doctorpepper, I am not saying that it didn't. | 14:14 |
| invariant | doctorpepper, I am just saying that if something doesn't work, working around it by using more proven tools is a viable strategy. | 14:14 |

| odo2063 | Hi! | 17:29 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Hey | 17:29 |
| odo2063 | yesterday i update from 11.10 over 12.04 to 12.10, but now i can't control my backlight brightness on my lenovo s205(AMD) anymore(specialkeys for sound do work). and i can control brightness at "boottime" | 17:31 |
| odo2063 | does somebody has an idea? | 17:31 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Check if the gfx driver is properly installed. | 17:32 |
| odo2063 | checked/installed twice with jockey | 17:32 |
| odo2063 | strange...that seems not right... | 17:33 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Is the driver also in use? | 17:33 |
| odo2063 | lets get back to the driver install. there are to points "ATI Fire GL" and "Video driver for the AMD...". and i installed the second, but it tells me that i have installed the first one | 17:35 |
| disharmonic | Evening | 17:35 |
| lordievader | Hey disharmonic | 17:35 |
| odo2063 | hi | 17:36 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Does it give more information? (Fglrx/radeon?) | 17:36 |
| odo2063 | no | 17:37 |
| odo2063 | fglrx is loaded | 17:37 |
| odo2063 | and i have "dirct rendering" and cubes :-) | 17:38 |
| MichaelP | Going to take windows of my Harddrive.. But i have 12.10 setup the way i want it with qtcurve styles and themes and all that.. What do i need to my a livecd of my system.. Or back all that up so i dont loose it ? | 17:39 |
| disharmonic | Muon doesnt auto-request kdesu? | 17:40 |
| lordievader | odo2063: So to get things straight, amdcccle does not complain... Can you change the brightness thorugh the powersettings in the System Settings program? | 17:40 |
| lordievader | MichaelP: How did you install (K)ubuntu? | 17:40 |
| MichaelP | Live usb | 17:40 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, there is no amdccle | 17:41 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Ahh that probably explains it :), strange though that the jockey reports that it is installed. Try reinstalling the fglrx driver. | 17:43 |
| MichaelP | normaly amdccle is start menu setting... amd catalyst control center | 17:43 |
| lordievader | MichaelP: Ok, then it should suffice to simply remove the Windows partition and update the Grub config. However it is allways a good idea to back up sensitive data before doing a major hard-disk operation. | 17:44 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, doing so with synaptic | 17:44 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Oh btw, can the terminal not find amdcccle? Or isn't it in the startmenu? | 17:44 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Jockey is a better option, imo. | 17:45 |
| disharmonic | Jockey is unreliable | 17:45 |
| lordievader | disharmonic: Not to me... | 17:45 |
| lordievader | Jockey-text anyhow. | 17:46 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, startmenu has it | 17:46 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, but powersettings does nothing | 17:46 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Hold on whay do you mean? Is the Amd control center in the start menu? | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | odo2063, run glxinfo | grep OpenGL to make sure the driver is loaded , it shows up beside "OpenGL version string" | 17:47 |
| disharmonic | lordievader, well my experience was so positive i now d/l the driver from AMD and generate debs with the buildpkg option ;) | 17:47 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. | 17:47 |
| lordievader | disharmonic: The downside of a manual install is that it usually breaks when you update the kernel, well that's my experience. | 17:48 |
| MichaelP | lordievader, sence windows 7 and 8 makes that little boot partition.. does linux boot record go to that or mbr | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | odo2063, the OpenGL version string, not vendor | 17:49 |
| odo2063 | OpenGL version string: 4.2.11903 Compatibility Profile Context | 17:49 |
| lordievader | MichaelP: Hmm good question, I must say I do not know. I suspect Grub is still in the mbr, since that is the section the bios reads when bootstrapping to OS. | 17:50 |
| mandoguit | fwiw... if you type inxi -Gx that information as well as video driver etc is displayed | 17:50 |
| lordievader | Or fglrxinfo, in this case. | 17:51 |
| disharmonic | lordievader, yeah. I always reinstall if the kernel gets updated, just to be sure. | 17:51 |
| odo2063 | inxi -Gx | 17:52 |
| lordievader | disharmonic: I grew tired of that, so I started using the jockey, works fine for me. | 17:52 |
| mandoguit | odo2063: in terminal | 17:52 |
| disharmonic | Regarding the Muon question. Shouldn't Muon ask for priviliges when clicking on install rather than displaying an error? | 17:52 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 17:52 |
| odo2063 | mandoguit, command not found | 17:52 |
| MichaelP | does ubuntu have anything to make livecd of the installed system... Like in PcLinuxOS when i used that years ago... i used MkLivecd | 17:53 |
| mandoguit | odo2063: hmmm.....might have to install it then. nice little utility to have on hand as it displays tons of info regarding ones system | 17:53 |
| MichaelP | i found what im looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 17:54 |
| nandhu | this will work out easily you can do a chroot to the live cd environment alter your linux and make it ready again | 17:54 |
| nandhu | LiveCDCustomization | 17:55 |
| odo2063 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1566720/ <-- fglrxinfo | 17:55 |
| mandoguit | odo2063: http://code.google.com/p/inxi/ seems it's not included in the default k/ubuntu installs as it is in other distro's. worth a look at imho | 17:57 |
| odo2063 | mandoguit, maybe not today ;-) | 17:57 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Can you paste bin the output of: sudo jockey-text -l | 17:58 |
| odo2063 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1566720/ | 18:00 |
| odo2063 | kmod:fglrx - ATI Fire GL (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) | 18:00 |
| disharmonic | lordievader, i never managed to enable the updates stream personally. I've seen others with the same issue. It does work as it should for many ppl though | 18:01 |
| odo2063 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1566733/ | 18:01 |
| MichaelP | So for LiveCDCustomization i need to have the kubuntu iso i take it... Sence it says choose ISO image that will be used for the base... im installed kubuntu... but i have ubuntu iso in my usb harddrive... or should i redown kubuntu iso? | 18:01 |
| lordievader | disharmonic: Had many issues with that too, but in 12.10 it worked to my surprise. | 18:02 |
| FlowRiser | odo2063, i have an Ati card; what i do after every installation of ubuntu; i install fglrx through: sudo apt-get install fglrx | 18:02 |
| * odo2063 is back in 5min | 18:02 | |
| lordievader | MichaelP: Why do you want to make a LiveCd? | 18:02 |
| disharmonic | lordievader, well i'm on 12.04 ;) | 18:02 |
| odo2063 | MichaelP, mint has actual a nice tool in its repo | 18:02 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Hmm seems the fglrx driver is installed, however I'd try to reinstall the driver through the jockey. | 18:03 |
| MichaelP | To have a compleate backup of my system | 18:03 |
| lordievader | disharmonic: I had the same problem in 12.04. | 18:03 |
| MichaelP | odo2063, whats in there repo | 18:04 |
| lordievader | MichaelP: A better way would be to get an external drive, or burn the files to a dvd. | 18:04 |
| MichaelP | lordievader, what my ./kde/share/apps | 18:06 |
| lordievader | MichaelP: I'd say /home, this contains all the user's files and user's config files. And perhaps a few things out of /etc (system-wide config files). | 18:08 |

| mohamare | i new in linux | 18:13 |
| odo2063 | nothing new | 18:14 |
| lordievader | mohamare: Check out: http://kde-look.org/ | 18:15 |
| odo2063 | so any other options instead of a new installation? | 18:15 |
| lordievader | odo2063: I take it, it didn't work? | 18:17 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, exactly | 18:17 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Hmm, bummer. You could try a manual install... Means: removing the driver through the jockey. Downloading the driver from AMD and manually installing that one. | 18:20 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, yeah may...u know...it's not an option for me ;-) (not that i not can) | 18:22 |
| lordievader | odo2063: What do you mean? Why not? | 18:23 |
| mohamare | no parsian in this room? | 18:24 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, i just take the new intall then... | 18:24 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Then you will be left with the radeon driver... | 18:24 |
| lordievader | Would be the same if you simply removed the fglrx driver, radeon is fallback.. should be in any case. | 18:24 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, y? | 18:24 |
| lordievader | odo2063: But why is a manual install no option? | 18:25 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, i just dont want to! :-) | 18:26 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Well you could try and see if the radeon driver supports the backlight brightness control. I know it never did for me, but perhaps for your card it does. | 18:27 |
| === adriano is now known as Guest38497 | ||
| invariant | lordievader, since when are those things even remotely related? | 18:51 |
| lordievader | invariant: Brightness control and gfx drivers you mean? | 19:04 |
| invariant | lordievader, yes | 19:04 |
| invariant | lordievader, because I haven't ever seen a device where they are related. | 19:05 |
| lordievader | invariant: I had the same problem once with my laptop, the fix was installing the gfx driver. | 19:05 |
| invariant | lordievader, very unlikely. | 19:06 |
| invariant | lordievader, you might think that was the solution. | 19:06 |
| invariant | lordievader, backlights are not controlled by graphics cards. | 19:06 |
| lordievader | invariant: Perhaps, it seemed so at the time. | 19:06 |
| lordievader | invariant: I see, then do you have a suggestion for odo2063 how he can fix his problem? | 19:07 |
| invariant | lordievader, check for platform support in the linux kernel for his device. | 19:08 |
| invariant | lordievader, if there is no such support, it's never going to work. | 19:09 |
| invariant | lordievader, (unless he wants to reverse-engineer the windows drivers) | 19:09 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, i had the idea that it might be something with the groups | 19:09 |
| invariant | lordievader, my answer is the only correct answer. | 19:09 |
| invariant | This is why you first check whether your hardware is supported with platform drivers before buying it. | 19:10 |
| invariant | Supported hardware is more expensive, but will save you a ton of headaches. | 19:10 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Has the brightness control worked before? | 19:11 |
| odo2063 | lordievader, in 11.10 yes | 19:12 |
| odo2063 | and with with any 12.10 live-image | 19:12 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Since when did it stop working? After an update or something? | 19:16 |
| odo2063 | exactly. i did yesterday the big run from 11.10 over 12.04 to 12.10 | 19:17 |
| lordievader | odo2063: Hmm perhaps simply reinstalling 12.10 is the easiest... | 19:18 |
| odo2063 | :-) i think i said something like that :-P | 19:18 |

| designbybeck | Greetings all, I have Kubuntu 12.10 installed on a computer that is being donated for a public access area for students. I'd like to let them login with Guest, but I want them to have a preset desktop with widgets and such ready to go. Can I do this? | 20:07 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: yes you can | 20:08 |
| === sysadmin is now known as Guest3568 | ||
| designbybeck | EagleScreen: might you point me in the directoin to set that up? I already have the main login set the way I want with widgets and background, how do I make this the default for the Guest everytime someone logs in | 20:09 |
| disharmonic | KDE does look sweet. Provided you take the time to set it up. Most distros have it looking really bland though | 20:10 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: making script that changes configuration on the fly, and make a plasma restart, OR using a different account than guest and using it as the guest account (i think this method is easier) | 20:11 |
| designbybeck | hmmm, so i can make a "randomuser" and set everything up on that "randomuser" account, and then make it a member of "guest"? EagleScreen is that how? | 20:12 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: why is your main reason to use guest account? autoremove of all files? | 20:14 |
| designbybeck | for the most part EagleScreen | 20:14 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: I think the easiest way is: 1) create a normal user, 2) use nodm instead if kdm (or lightdm, 3) clear that user password if you want, 4) make some script which clear previous sessions files at login | 20:16 |
| designbybeck | EagleScreen: It is for mainly physics and computer science students. I want them to be able to use all the software I have installed on it | 20:16 |
| === nmmm is now known as nmmm-away | ||
| disharmonic | Hmm, how do i set up virtual desktops? It used to be under the Desktop tab iirc, but i don't see that one anymore | 20:17 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: if you use nodm instead of lightdm, users can login with no password, and custom desktop configuration done by you will be persistent | 20:18 |
| disharmonic | nvm, foud it | 20:18 |
| designbybeck | not sure how to make those scripts and such EagleScreen | 20:18 |
| designbybeck | I guess other than the Widget setup I really don't care that they use Guest... Was just hoping to have some of the converter, calculator, weather widgets open when they first started up | 20:19 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: any dude? | 20:21 |
| designbybeck | no I'm not a programmer sorry | 20:22 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: can't you make a bash script? | 20:23 |
| designbybeck | no clue | 20:23 |
| designbybeck | !# | 20:24 |
| designbybeck | lol something like that in a text file | 20:24 |
| EagleScreen | let me see other alternatives.. | 20:24 |
| designbybeck | EagleScreen: with UbuntuTweak you can change a few login details on Ubuntu, was hoping for something that easy | 20:29 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: i am looking for it | 20:35 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: the key is in /etc/guest-session/skel I think | 20:46 |
| designbybeck | ah yes, I remember reading something about that for the Ubuntu setup I did | 20:46 |
| designbybeck | it was something along the lines as you get one sessions setup how you want it, copy something and put it in /guest-session/skel | 20:46 |
| designbybeck | I just didn't run across Kubuntu and Activities/Widgets and didn't know if it would work the same | 20:47 |
| === gerald is now known as Guest33496 | ||
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: I think yes, i am going to do a test | 20:47 |
| designbybeck | great! Thank you EagleScreen | 20:47 |
| === nmmm-away is now known as nmmm | ||
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: guest-session script appears to be using files in /etc/guest-session/skel, but there is not /etc/guest-session/skel in my system :O | 20:57 |
| designbybeck | hmm EagleScreen you think that Kubuntu doesn't have it? | 21:36 |
| designbybeck | what system you running EagleScreen? | 21:37 |
| === paolo is now known as faLUCE | ||
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: on Kubuntu 12.10 that directory is not present | 22:09 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: as consequence, I only have an idea of doing it with a user different than guest, which you could use like the guest account | 22:10 |
| designbybeck | I am seeing that myself EagleScreen | 22:22 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: have got that directory in your system? | 22:23 |
| designbybeck | no I do not EagleScreen I meant I see that it isn't there on Kubuntu or my Ubuntu setup | 22:24 |
| EagleScreen | ok | 22:24 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: use a normal user, you can create it with graphical tools or with command: sudo adduser charlie | 22:25 |
| EagleScreen | where charlie is the username you want | 22:25 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: you can deactivate his password with: sudo passwd -d charlie | 22:26 |
| EagleScreen | then everybody can login with it | 22:26 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: you also can install nodm if you do not want login screen neither (auto login without login screen) | 22:26 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: then you can customize the desktop as you like, and it will be persistent | 22:27 |
| designbybeck | I think there is a setting in Kubuntu that will turn off the password for the login | 22:27 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: may be | 22:28 |
| designbybeck | Will it roll back if another students changes something or turns off a widget EagleScreen ? | 22:28 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: we can do something to estore back the default (customized) desktop each time a session is started, so yes | 22:29 |
| EagleScreen | designbybeck: first create a new user and custimize the desktop as you want there. Ae you going to do it right now? | 22:31 |
| designbybeck | EagleScreen: I just found under System Settings Start up and SHutdown under Session Management area | 22:32 |
| designbybeck | It has On Login area... wonder if that might help | 22:32 |

| EagleScreen | designbybeck: copy recursively and keep file permisions (like buckup) | 23:07 |
| designbybeck | ah ok, that is done now | 23:07 |
| EagleScreen | now copy hiden and config files: cp -a /home/physics/.* /opt/physics_skel | 23:10 |
| designbybeck | gave some errors saying it would not create hard link to ... file. I am guessing that is correct because we want it to stay pointing to the same absolute path correct EagleScreen | 23:11 |
| EagleScreen | yes | 23:12 |
| EagleScreen | dont worry | 23:12 |
| designbybeck | ok that is done | 23:12 |
