| Senjai | Just how different is Kubuntu from Ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| Aknot | ubuntu uses unity, kubuntu uses kde | 08:02 |
| Aknot | kde is the logical system while unity is marketed towards apple fanatics and other fashionable consumers | 08:03 |
| Senjai | Well | 08:03 |
| Senjai | I dislike the move from Gnome | 08:04 |
| Senjai | and the last time I was ingrained in the environment it used Gnome | 08:04 |
| Aknot | gnome was very good before they moved to gnome shell | 08:04 |
| Senjai | I like the windows-type UI Kubuntu appears to use, I'm concerned with compatability with some ubuntu apps | 08:04 |
| Senjai | Im very.. uninitiated.. well not so much, but enough to have to ask questions | 08:05 |
| Aknot | there is a kde "version" for every ubuntu program | 08:05 |
| Aknot | or kde program for gtk program i should say | 08:05 |
| Aknot | so i suggest always install kde variant | 08:05 |
| Senjai | And I think there are ways to install a gtk program, as long as you have the dependancies met right? | 08:05 |
| Senjai | You can run gtk programs in a kde environment. I think. | 08:06 |
| Senjai | Without having a GTK desktop | 08:06 |
| Senjai | Is this correct? | 08:06 |
| Aknot | yes you can install them fine but they might look worse because they dont match the theme and they dont integrate to system tray etc aswell as qt (kde) programs | 08:06 |
| Senjai | Oh, Kde programs are all build with Qt? | 08:07 |
| Aknot | yes | 08:07 |
| Senjai | I dont mind | 08:07 |
| Senjai | just as long as I can still use the programs | 08:07 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Depends on how you have them installed. I don't know if any post-install modifications are made by distros to improve the look and feel of GTK apps | 08:07 |
| FlameReaper-PC | as far as I know using (K)ubuntu | 08:07 |
| FlameReaper-PC | it's pretty smooth sailing for me | 08:07 |
| Senjai | Yea, I'll try it out then | 08:08 |
| Senjai | Thanks for your opinions. | 08:08 |
| Aknot | senjai which gtk programs do u mean specifically? im sure we can find u kde replacement | 08:08 |
| Senjai | Music player, starts with C | 08:08 |
| Senjai | that I'm worried about | 08:08 |
| FlameReaper-PC | though I think I customized my build a lot | 08:08 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Clementine? | 08:08 |
| Senjai | Streams radio from lasst.fm and such | 08:08 |
| Aknot | clementine? | 08:08 |
| Senjai | Clementine | 08:08 |
| Senjai | yea | 08:08 |
| Aknot | clementine is kde :D | 08:08 |
| Senjai | Mind slow tonight. | 08:08 |
| Aknot | and i use it | 08:08 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I think it's originally built in Qt | 08:08 |
| Aknot | its wonderful | 08:08 |
| FlameReaper-PC | so KDE should be able to display it well | 08:08 |
| Senjai | Sorry for asking the silly questions then | 08:08 |
| Senjai | lol | 08:08 |
| Aknot | np :P | 08:09 |
| FlameReaper-PC | somehow it doesn't work on mine, but I might need to look back at why I can't | 08:09 |
| FlameReaper-PC | because sometimes these problems can be very specific per person... | 08:09 |
| FlameReaper-PC | amarok is fine for me but might be a tad too heavy :P | 08:09 |
| FlameReaper-PC | hence why I depend on audacious a lot | 08:09 |
| Aknot | flamereaper how come clementine doesnt work?? | 08:09 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Aknot: on mine? | 08:09 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I can't remember | 08:10 |
| FlameReaper-PC | what error it threw out on the terminal last time I tried | 08:10 |
| Aknot | did u try reinstall? | 08:10 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I did, but that didn't seem to help | 08:10 |
| FlameReaper-PC | well it was quite sometime ago and I'm currently settling on Amarok and/or Audacious for music players | 08:10 |
| Aknot | try minirok, its amarok without all the crap | 08:10 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Tried, but somehow I didn't like it :P | 08:10 |
| Aknot | okok | 08:10 |
| Senjai_ | Virtual box kicked me off :/ | 08:11 |
| === Senjai_ is now known as Senjai | ||
| FlameReaper-PC | Aknot: guess can't really persuade someone who's comfortable with what they have even though there are better options eh :P | 08:11 |
| Aknot | true true | 08:11 |
| Senjai | Last question, is there any downside to installing via Wubi | 08:11 |
| jackyalcine | just a tad bit slower of a system, from my personal trials. | 08:12 |
| Aknot | ive never tried wubi | 08:12 |
| Aknot | why not just do proper install? | 08:12 |
| FlameReaper-PC | tried and despaired when there's a new distro release | 08:12 |
| Aknot | i mean if u like kde that is | 08:12 |
| FlameReaper-PC | and the migration from Wubi to a full partition is quite a work out | 08:12 |
| Senjai | Yea | 08:12 |
| Senjai | Thats my proble FlameReaper-PC | 08:13 |
| Senjai | Im uninstalling the wubi | 08:13 |
| Senjai | because its slow as crap | 08:13 |
| Senjai | I had Ubuntu 12.04 | 08:13 |
| FloodBotK1 | Senjai: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:13 |
| Aknot | senjai just do proper kubuntu install :D | 08:13 |
| Senjai | cleared it to install kbuntu 12.10 | 08:13 |
| Senjai | Ugh, gotta find a usb drive | 08:13 |
| Senjai | or an old ipod.. | 08:13 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Senjai: Here's a tip - back-up your home folder | 08:13 |
| Senjai | Why? | 08:13 |
| FlameReaper-PC | and when you do a partition install | 08:13 |
| FlameReaper-PC | just unload them into the new home folder | 08:14 |
| Senjai | yea, i wanted fresh of fresh of fresh though. Make sure none of the old issues come over. | 08:14 |
| Senjai | I have all my important stuff backed up into windows | 08:14 |
| Senjai | Via mount -t ntfs... etc | 08:14 |
| FlameReaper-PC | because most apps you use will have their configurations kept into that home folder | 08:14 |
| Senjai | Oh thats fine, | 08:14 |
| FlameReaper-PC | well it's fine if you want a fresh restart though | 08:14 |
| Senjai | I'd like to start fresh | 08:14 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I think I might consider that | 08:15 |
| Senjai | Fresh start? | 08:15 |
| FlameReaper-PC | and keep only documents produced from the old partition | 08:15 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Senjai: Yes | 08:15 |
| Senjai | I only kept files | 08:15 |
| Senjai | configurations can hurt you, in my experience | 08:15 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Yes | 08:15 |
| FlameReaper-PC | especially if your current install can't mirror the previous ones | 08:15 |
| Senjai | it wont | 08:16 |
| Senjai | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Wubi) --> Kubuntu 12.10 (partitioned) | 08:16 |
| Senjai | It would be.. iffy | 08:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | yea | 08:16 |
| Senjai | then having to go through and purge one by one as issues arise would be.. annoying | 08:16 |
| Senjai | lol | 08:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | well it won't hurt to keep some specific configs though | 08:16 |
| Senjai | Are the repos the same as ubuntus | 08:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | it is | 08:16 |
| Aknot | i always do fresh install | 08:17 |
| Aknot | most hassle free | 08:17 |
| FlameReaper-PC | well kubuntu is basically a KDE Ubuntu | 08:17 |
| FlameReaper-PC | so things are as simple as that | 08:17 |
| FlameReaper-PC | its just a matter of DEs | 08:17 |
| FlameReaper-PC | right, I guess I'll want to try a cross compilation now | 08:18 |
| ovidiu-florin | hello world | 08:18 |
| ovidiu-florin | good morning :D | 08:18 |
| FlameReaper-PC | hello ovidiu-florin and good... afternoon :D | 08:18 |
| ovidiu-florin | what's the discution topic ? | 08:19 |
| ovidiu-florin | :D | 08:19 |
| Senjai | My noobiness | 08:20 |
| Senjai | Not even sure how much i remember about linux operation | 08:20 |
| Senjai | gotta learn bash and the file system all over again | 08:20 |
| ovidiu-florin | Senjai: have you tried using windows? | 08:21 |
| Senjai | ovidiu-florin, sorry? | 08:21 |
| ovidiu-florin | (^ not a recommendation ) | 08:21 |
| ovidiu-florin | I thought you might have used windows or something, that being the cause you forgot these | 08:22 |
| Senjai | I use windows now. | 08:22 |
| Senjai | I was a hobbiest programmer some years back | 08:22 |
| Senjai | but its been a while | 08:22 |
| Senjai | Had to use windows for school, and work | 08:22 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I use everything that I can get my hands on, either by handover or self-obtaining | 08:23 |
| FlameReaper-PC | so far my life with usage has been revolving around Windows and (K)Ubuntu, with a little bit of Mac | 08:24 |
| FlameReaper-PC | as a user, I must say, I really like working with Ubuntu a lot | 08:24 |
| ovidiu-florin | I've managed to switch completly to kubuntu | 08:24 |
| ovidiu-florin | haven't used windows in more than 5 years | 08:25 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Windows for a lot of things is a given, but some specific tasks I can only do in (K)Ubuntu because... it's hell of a lot easy :P | 08:25 |
| ovidiu-florin | I use it a little bit now for cross compiling | 08:25 |
| Senjai | I will never ever use a mac | 08:25 |
| ovidiu-florin | but nothing more | 08:25 |
| Senjai | ovidiu-florin, you obviously dont work in finance | 08:25 |
| Senjai | ll | 08:25 |
| Senjai | lol | 08:26 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I'm about to attempt a cross-compile of the gimp-painters | 08:26 |
| FlameReaper-PC | of the 2.7 alpha branch | 08:26 |
| ovidiu-florin | I work in stock marchet | 08:26 |
| ovidiu-florin | Senjai: ^ | 08:26 |
| Senjai | really? Where | 08:26 |
| Senjai | What do you do | 08:26 |
| ovidiu-florin | Romania | 08:26 |
| ovidiu-florin | right now implementing the FIX protocol with Qt | 08:27 |
| ovidiu-florin | via the QuickFix engine with a custom framework on top | 08:27 |
| Senjai | What exchange do you work with in Romania? | 08:28 |
| Senjai | I know nothing about that country | 08:28 |
| Senjai | lol | 08:28 |
| ovidiu-florin | we have a relationship with a company in chicago | 08:29 |
| ovidiu-florin | kind of partners | 08:30 |
| ovidiu-florin | just asked simmilar on #kde, how would kubuntu perform on a tablet? | 08:31 |
| ovidiu-florin | or touch screen ultrabook? | 08:31 |
| Aknot | doesnt kde have some "mode" made for tablets and touchscreen | 08:32 |
| ovidiu-florin | yes it does | 08:32 |
| ovidiu-florin | but Kubuntu should also have Plasma Notebook | 08:32 |
| ovidiu-florin | from what someone from #kde told me | 08:33 |
| ovidiu-florin | how do I activate/use that? | 08:33 |
| ovidiu-florin | also has* | 08:33 |
| away | system settings -> workspace behavior -> workspace | 08:36 |
| ovidiu-florin | away: whooooaaaa | 08:40 |

| jackyalcine | oh boy http://i.imgur.com/QJE2D1Q.png :( | 08:53 |
| jackyalcine | 6 hours for upgrade to 13.04 | 08:53 |
| Aknot | did 13.04 come out already? | 09:03 |
| Unit193 | 13.04 stands for April, 2013. | 09:03 |
| Aknot | lol i never realised that they were dates :D | 09:05 |
| ovidiu-florin | Aknot: I think it came out allready, or atleast a beta or something | 09:10 |
| Aknot | one of the ubuntu devs said that ubuntu might become rolling release after 14.04 | 09:11 |
| FlameReaper-PC | <ovidiu-florin> but Kubuntu should also have Plasma Notebook | 09:13 |
| FlameReaper-PC | you mean plasma-netbook | 09:13 |
| FlameReaper-PC | just sudo apt-get plasma-netbook. can't remember what's the package name in apt | 09:14 |
| FlameReaper-PC | but I think it's that | 09:14 |
| ovidiu-florin | FlameReaper-PC: what are you answering to? | 09:15 |
| FlameReaper-PC | ovidiu-florin: about your question about the Plasma Notebook (Netbook actually) UI | 09:15 |
| ovidiu-florin | away told me how to activate it, and I did | 09:15 |
| ovidiu-florin | my reaction was whoooooaaaa | 09:15 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I really think that with touchscreen keyboard integration | 09:15 |
| FlameReaper-PC | and a few tweaks to it | 09:16 |
| ovidiu-florin | it's allready installed by default | 09:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | it can really be used for a touchscreen environment | 09:16 |
| ovidiu-florin | I hope so | 09:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I really liked that, though I'm defaulting to the desktop appearance | 09:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | rather than netbook | 09:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | using the netbook UI was fun though | 09:16 |
| FlameReaper-PC | wow, my college's connection when trying to use git is pretty horrible | 09:17 |
| FlameReaper-PC | guess downloading movies is all that my college's network is good for :P | 09:17 |
| ovidiu-florin | I plan to purchase a windows 8 tabled | 09:18 |
| ovidiu-florin | erase windows 8 | 09:18 |
| ovidiu-florin | and put kubuntu on it | 09:18 |
| ovidiu-florin | opinions? | 09:18 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I don't know how it works though for Win8 | 09:18 |
| FlameReaper-PC | best get an x86 tab | 09:18 |
| FlameReaper-PC | because if you get an ARM tab | 09:18 |
| ovidiu-florin | intel atom? | 09:18 |
| FlameReaper-PC | yes | 09:18 |
| FlameReaper-PC | also with a Win8 tab | 09:19 |
| FlameReaper-PC | I'd like to anticipate that the process of wiping Win8 out of it isn't as easy as we'd like to think | 09:19 |
| ovidiu-florin | not necessarily this one but something like it: http://www.emag.ro/tableta-asus-memo-cu-procesor-intel-174-atom-dual-core-z2760-1-6ghz-10-1-2gb-ddr2-64gb-wi-fi-bluetooth-4-0-microsoft-windows-8-white-me400c-1a013w/pd/E1LMNBBBM/?ref=nl&zone=box_43&unit=0.5&id=1027&emag_click_id=07ff0c8f621a6293c61e5614167950f0&ref=afs | 09:20 |
| Aknot | I had some small tearing on videos and on youtube videos. So i uninstalled ati fglrx drivers to see if its because of that. Now when i move windows they are extremely laggy and i still have tearing | 09:20 |
| FlameReaper-PC | if its anything like Acer's Iconia w700/w701 tabs then I guess the difficulties is as hard as installing (K)Ubuntu on a regular netbook | 09:20 |
| FlameReaper-PC | ovidiu-florin: that looks good, and doesn't seem to have any possible difficulties you might have when trying to install | 09:21 |
| FlameReaper-PC | but I suppose you might want to do some self-study whether you can even try booting a live USB/SD card session on it | 09:21 |
| ovidiu-florin | it's like a netbook without a keyboard and with touchscreen | 09:22 |

| elliria | It has some suggestions - the best appeared to be a way of booting with no theme at all. I get the impression from your error message that Kubuntu still thinks there's a theme. | 10:36 |
| elliria | <--- girl (: | 10:36 |
| lordievader | robtygart: If the kdm config file can be found it can be adjusted to a existing theme, however I have no idea where kdm keeps its config files... | 10:37 |

| lordievader | You know you could've done the same from the recovery mode ;) | 10:47 |
| lordievader | But it's a good alternative :) | 10:47 |
| mahesh_ | <lordievader> : I was disconnected. Can you please help me? | 10:48 |
| robtygart | lordievader: yah but I could not figure out how | 10:48 |
| robtygart | its 3AM its too late. | 10:49 |
| lordievader | robtygart: Ah, that explains it :P | 10:49 |
| lordievader | mahesh_: A conclusion I made earlier: It seems to me that all of those packages depend on wvdial, and that one depends on libwvstrams4.6-extras... but that one also complains about something,.. | 10:50 |
| lordievader | mahesh_: What comes to mind it that they might be in a repo that is not by default enabled. | 10:50 |
| mahesh_ | ok, so what will be the solution on this? | 10:51 |
| mahesh_ | I am nopt able to install any thing due to this... | 10:51 |

| lordievader | mahesh_: Could you send me the link ;) | 10:56 |

| mahesh_ | <elliria> : Already tried mate but not wroking :( | 10:57 |
| lordievader | mahesh_: Doesn't seem like there is a repo missing/deactivated. | 10:58 |
| elliria | Darn. | 10:58 |
| lordievader | elliria: Uhu... | 10:58 |
| mahesh_ | ok.. | 10:58 |
| lordievader | mahesh_: Try "sudo dpkg -r gedit; sudo apt-get -f install" | 10:58 |
| mahesh_ | ok | 10:59 |
| mahesh_ | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 10:59 |
| mahesh_ | Do you want me to provide full screen print? | 11:00 |

| mahesh_ | <lordievader> I think this one worked | 11:05 |

| BluesKaj | sbivol, I have a few "issues" with graphics on 13.04 , not sure if nvidia is at fault . i think it could be the latest KDE/Kwin | 14:11 |

| sbivol | BluesKaj: why would a music player need to know anything about users? seems weird | 14:26 |

Clicking on things and expecting them to open before you have even thought about clicking again. 2. Expecting a computer to boot up before you have time to pour yourself a cup of coffee.

| przemek | what's ean oem install for manufactures? | 17:03 |
| petersaints | przemek: It installs the OS ready to be used for the first time by a new user | 17:05 |
| petersaints | like when you buy a Windows PC | 17:05 |
| petersaints | and it boots with an initial user setup | 17:05 |
| petersaints | asking your name, set the password, etc. | 17:06 |
| przemek | so i can creat users on first start? | 17:06 |
| przemek | yep? | 17:06 |
| przemek | create* | 17:06 |
| petersaints | I haven't made an OEM install in a long time. But when I did that was the behaviour | 17:06 |
| petersaints | on the first boot it prompts you to create a new user | 17:06 |
| przemek | ok i will try oem first if i get any problem i will reinstall os again | 17:07 |
| przemek | thank you | 17:07 |
| eshack | I'm about 90% sure that is correct, it is intended for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to install the system for a new user. | 17:07 |
| eshack | 99%, not 90%. :) | 17:08 |
| eshack | It will be fine if you install it on your computer, though you don't get the advantage of setting up your user name and password during install. | 17:08 |

| ikonia | that's nothing to do with 32/64 bit | 17:39 |
| ethang | ikonia: any ideas? | 17:40 |
| ikonia | depends in what way it's failing | 17:40 |
| ikonia | you've not given any info | 17:40 |
| ethang | ikonia: it just doesn't show up in available devices | 17:41 |

| KJ_agent007 | if any partition program can see the drive then you should be able to mount it | 17:50 |
| KJ_agent007 | such as gparted or kparted | 17:50 |
| ethang | KJ_agent007: ok | 17:51 |
| ethang | I'll try | 17:51 |
| KJ_agent007 | cool cool | 17:51 |
| sbivol | TheDrums: on the Kubuntu LiveCD there is „partitionmanager” | 17:51 |
| sbivol | sorry, I meant ethang: ^ | 17:52 |
| KJ_agent007 | yup | 17:52 |
| KJ_agent007 | kparted | 17:52 |
| KJ_agent007 | and most rescue cd's have partitioning tools also | 17:52 |
| sbivol | KJ_agent007: kparted is no more, at least not under that name | 17:53 |
| KJ_agent007 | hum, lemme check | 17:54 |
| KJ_agent007 | ok the kde partition manager | 17:55 |
| KJ_agent007 | it's basically the same as gparted but for kde | 17:55 |
| ethang | about to try it out | 17:56 |
| ethang | KJ_agent007: nope. Kparted doesn't see it | 18:02 |
| ethang | I'm going to try the other hard drive | 18:03 |
