HemzaI changed from Ubuntu 12.04 because of unity. I finsh the intallation of Kubuntu 12.04.2 and the update. KDE is not so fast as Gnome. Is there a way to enhace the boot and package lanch???14:54
=== Guest18728 is now known as Steven_Seagal_
BluesKajHemza, your boot launch timing is controlled in /etc/default/grub, by the line GRUB_TIMEOUT=X (seconds)15:01
BluesKajHemza, how did you install Kubuntu , clean or did you install kubuntu-desktop and still retain your Ubuntu /Unity or Gnome apps and packages?15:03
Hemza@BluesKaj, a clean install. I think the issue is in the KDE design... I'm used to Gnome2 and XFCE,,, for that i feel some differences.15:05
BluesKajHemza, that maybe your impression of KDE , but most ppl who switch to KDE find that the opposite is true.15:06
awaywell, you can run an xfce DE in kubuntu, but then you might as well install xubuntu instead15:07
Hemza@away, No No.. I want to try KDE. I want to participate in this community15:11
Steven_Seagal_Hemza, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1889034 (sorry i don't speak english)15:16
HemzaSteven_Seagal_: thank you so much, that is what was looking for.15:18
Steven_Seagal_Hemza ;)15:20
BluesKajIMO , trying make KDE "blazingly fast" " might save a half second here and there , but defeats the purpose of some KDE's benefits.. Hemza15:33
nookHey, i bought this remote controlle from amazon, and it works good with Kubuntu 12.10 (http://www.amazon.de/Unbekannt-X10-PC-Funkfernbedienung-mit-USB-Empf%C3%A4nger/dp/B004KVRSGO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1361720029&sr=8-2)15:34
nookBut i miss some keys, is it possible to change the default keys without Lirc?15:34
BluesKajnook, this is and english chat , please post websites written in english15:37
BluesKajan15:37
nookBluesKaj, sorry but i dont know if ther is a english version of this post someware15:39
BluesKajnook, then perhaps the people at #kubunru-de can help you15:41
BluesKaj#kubuntu-de15:41
nookBluesKaj, but my only question is, is ther a way to change de default keymap? Thats my loaded Kernel Modul: ati_remote             18282  015:43
nookrc_core                22331  3 rc_medion_x10_digitainer,ati_remote15:43
DarthFrognook:  Why without lirc?15:47
DarthFrogOr is it not an IR remote?15:47
nookDarthFrog, yep, its an X10 remote controle without IR. But i found a website and they are using lirc. But if i use lirc i have to configure the complet keymap, but i only want to change some keys^^15:48
DarthFrognook:  You'll have to find out where the current keymap is and edit it.  I've used lirc a fair bit but not radio remotes.15:49
nookDarthFrog, but how can i find the keymap? Never done some like this before...15:50
DarthFrognook:  You're going to have to read the documentation and/or HOW-TO.15:50
nookDathFrog, yes i think so too, i found some (only german -.-) pages with the same or an older remotes but all x10. I think the german Company Medion is the only who builds x10 radio remoes^^15:53
DarthFrognook:  Well, I'm Canadian so can't help you with German documentation.  I'm sure there are lots of x10 users though, either on IRC or web forums.15:56

alusionI have my kubuntu system LVM encrypted16:02
alusionhowever when I enter my cryptsetup password16:02
alusionit is indefinently stuck at cryptsetup: sda5_crypt set up successfully16:02
alusionI can't log into my system16:02
alusionI'm at the grub menu16:06
alusionhow can I fix16:06
yofelalusion: that sounds like the login manager never shows up, try pressing ctrl+alt+f1 and see if you can get to a shell login prompt there16:30
yofelafter it sets up sda5_crypt16:30
alusionyofel: it says that the sda5_crypt set up successfully16:30
alusionbut it just stays at that loading screen16:31
yofelyeah, at that point press ctrl+alt+f1 and see if you get a text login prompt16:31
alusionI press it and I just get a little blinking underscore in the corner16:31
yofelhm... ok, at the grub prompt, edit the ubuntu entry and remove "quiet splash vt.handoff=7" from the linux/kernel entry16:33
yofelmaybe that will tell more16:33
yofelI need to go, will be back in a bit16:34

alusionthere's an issue with the cryptsetup17:44
alusionidk what you mean with your question however.17:44
alusionI'm just trying to access it via dolphin right now17:44
DarthFrogI've never played around with filesystem encryption.  It seems to me to be too chancy.17:46
BluesKajyeah , never trusted encryption after some files were no longer accessible after an upgrade , luckily I had them backed up in decrypted form17:51

alusionwhat's the default kubuntu root passwd?18:09
DarthFrogThere isn't one.  Use your password to get root privileges via the "sudo" command.18:10
alusionyeah but I want to change directory18:11
DarthFrogOn a live system, I don't think there are any passwords.18:11
alusionand if I sudo cd18:11
DarthFrogyou don't need sudo to chdir.18:11
alusionit says sudo: cd: command not found18:11
DarthFrogcd is an alias for chdir.18:11
DarthFrogchdir is the real command.18:11
alusionchdir is not found though18:12
DarthFrogHuh?  That's not right.18:12
alusionI wanna access the folder but I don't have permission o_o18:12

alusionI can access my backintime snapshots18:13
alusion:O18:13
alusionthat means I'm saved?!18:13
Riddellalusion: if you need a root shell use  sudo bash18:13
DarthFrogRiddell:  he needs help with getting access to his encrypted filesystem.18:14
alusionI used sudo bash and changed dir to the folder18:15
alusionI see two things18:15
alusionAccess-Your-Private-Data.desktop and README.txt18:15
BluesKajchdir doesn't work here either18:15
alusionreadme says to run ecryptfs-mount-private18:15
alusionI run it but I receive an error18:15
DarthFrogBluesKaj:  It seems that chdir has been removed.18:15
alusionEncrypted private directory is not setup properly18:15
BluesKajlooks so DarthFrog18:15
DarthFrogalusion: If you can get access to your backup, make a copy of it on an un-encrypted file system ASAP.18:16
alusiondoing that right now18:17
alusionthe file is practically empty18:18
alusionis this normal of backintime lol18:18
BluesKajheh , I recall using cd to changer dirs on the original windows OS waaay back18:18
DarthFrogNo idea.  Are you sure the backup completed successfully?18:18

AbhiKDarthFrog: when i did your step, i didn't get to see any files in my "Home"18:27
DarthFrogAbhiK: ?18:27
AbhiKbut opening dolphin normally, shows me my /home/#user/ directory18:28
DarthFrogAbhiK:  That's because your in the /root directory.  You'll have to navigate to /home/abhik18:29
AbhiKDarthFrog: in normal dolphin, "Home" is same as my "/home/abhik" directory18:30
DarthFrogAbhiK:  Undt zo?18:31
DarthFrogWhen you issue the kdesudo command, you're acting as root, not AbhiK18:31

micha_hallo18:47
WatcherProblem with kubuntu 12.04 and dual booting Win 7 Pro. Ihave Kubuntu installed on the first drive, just installed Win 7 on the third drive, first primary partition. I've modified grub menu.lst  to load to add Win 7 to the menu. Kubuntu boot fine, Win7 does not. I get a grub error 12. How can I make Win7 boot?18:55
Torchisn't it true anymore that windows always wants itself (or its ntloader) to be on the first partition, first drive?18:56
Torchbut maybe i'm just confused.18:57
BluesKajWatcher, grub menu.list is a part of grub legacy . insttall grub2 ,. then sudo update-grub18:57
WatcherBluesKaj: Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't looked at grub2. Does it handle Win 7 dual better?18:59
BluesKajTorch, first partition yes , first drive , no18:59
BluesKajWatcher, grub2 is the default bootloader in kubuntu since 9.10 i think .18:59

WatcherBluesKaj: Net upgrades.19:03
BluesKajahh, that might expalin it , Watcher19:03
BluesKajWatcher, also run sudo os-prober before , sudo update-grub after grub2 is installed19:04
WatcherBluesKaj: The net upgrades have always completed OK without error. Do I need to upgrade from disk to cath the grub upgrade?19:04
