LinuxephusGreetings one and all. Question: How does one disable startup programs in Kubuntu that aren't showing up in Autostart itself. View screenshot as this question pertains to Jupiter itself where in Ubuntu it can be disabled via Startup Application's option.01:43

randomprolly not the best idea to post a phone number, just imo.01:44
Linuxephusrandom: You would probably be right. And in my careless rush after finally getting my system finally setup and fully customized, I overlooked that without a second thought. Thanks for headsup.01:46

dishantpHello folks, i am having problems with installing the kubuntu-desktop, my system has kde running in ubuntu, but due to broken packages , i am facing problems09:34

dishantpi do have the error log09:34
azbarceahi everyone09:36
azbarceaany idea why if [ "some-tmp" == "*tmp" ] ; then echo x; else echo y; fi prints "y" in Kubuntu,  and not "x"?09:36
lordievaderazbarcea: Because "some-tmp" != "*tmp".09:38
azbarcealordievader: is there a way to test "like" or regexp?09:39
lordievaderazbarcea: What are you trying to compare? Two strings, variables? Perhaps it is an idea to paste-bin your bash script.09:40
johnflux_azbarcea: at some point you should just use perl or something09:40
johnflux_lordievader: he wants to test if "some-tmp" matches the regexp "*tmp"09:40
azbarcealordievader: johnflux_: exactly, in other distro it uses the regexp having *?. as special chars ...09:41
johnflux_azbarcea: no, bash is bash09:41
johnflux_azbarcea: it doesn't change behaviour between distros09:41
lordievaderBash also recognizes the wildcard, however you are using it as a string. And so it is checked in a literal sense.09:42
johnflux_azbarcea: you can use =~09:42
johnflux_azbarcea: if [[ "some-tmp" =~ '^.tmp$' ]] ; then09:42
azbarceajohnflux_: bash: [: =~: binary operator expected09:42
johnflux_azbarcea: maybe that works09:42
johnflux_double [[09:42
lordievaderazbarcea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92260309:43
johnflux_azbarcea: ah or just:09:43
johnflux_azbarcea: if [[ "some-tmp" = *tmp ]]; then09:43
azbarceajohnflux_: lordievader: thx guys .. you are great!09:43
johnflux_azbarcea: note the single = and the lack of quotes around *tmp09:43
azbarceajohnflux_: lordievader: I wasn't paying attention09:43
johnflux_azbarcea: fwiw, I'm only googled it then pasted from http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/Patterns09:44
azbarceajohnflux_: lordievader: [[ fixed the problem :)09:44
johnflux_azbarcea: great :)09:44
lordievaderjohnflux_: Same here, I got a ubuntu forums thread with the same problem ;)09:44
lordievaderazbarcea: Good that it works :)09:45
johnflux_azbarcea: but, I do standby my original point that at some point you're better of switching to perl09:45
johnflux_azbarcea: also, the keywords that you're after are:09:45
johnflux_azbarcea:  *tmp  <-- this is call globbing09:45
johnflux_azbarcea:  .*tmp  <-- this is called a regexp09:45
johnflux_called09:45
azbarceajohnflux_: lordievader: no can do ... thx guys09:45
azbarceajohnflux_: lordievader: btw, correct form seams to be: "if [[ "some-tmp" = *tmp ]] ; then echo x; else echo y; fi" ... thank you ... lordievader your wiki page is great!09:51
johnflux_I told you that:09:52

ovidiu-florinhello world :D13:55
dishantpHi, i am having trouble upgrading and installing packages because i have broken packages. esp. kubuntu-desktop, my machine has KDE running in ubuntu.14:09
dishantpi tried couple of commands like dpkg --configure -a and apt-get update.14:09
dishantpdanny@danny-Inspiron-N5010:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop sudo: unable to resolve host danny-Inspiron-N5010 [sudo] password for danny:  Sorry, try again. [sudo] password for danny:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution t14:10
dishantpthis is the log14:10
BluesKajdishantp, sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade , the run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop14:13
BluesKajthe=then14:14
dishantpBluesKaj, yes i tried this. but it still won't install14:29
dishantpI closed the terminal so don't have the exact new error messages but it said it has unmet dependencies.14:30
BluesKajdishantp, sudo dpkg --clear-avail , if that doesn't help , then run sudo apt-get -f install14:32
=== darshil is now known as dtchanpura
dishantpBlueskaj,both of them don't do anything.14:34
dishantpthe latter says, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 311 not upgraded.14:34
BluesKajno output?14:34
BluesKajok then try sudo apt-get-upgrade now14:35
dishantpshould there be a hyphon between get and upgrade too?14:35
BluesKajdishantp, no , sorry14:36
=== spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57
dishantpokay, i tried this one too before. Didn't work that time. this time it is working.14:45
dishantpand i added a kubuntu ppa repository before to upgrade.14:45
dishantpBluesKaj, it worked successfully. Thank you, but how do i know if it still has any defects left , like the broken packages.14:46
BluesKajdishantp, no need for a kubuntu ppa to instyall kubuntu-desktop , it's in the default repositories ., the ppa might even interfere with the derfault s during upgrades14:47
dishantpBluesKaj, but i already did.14:47
BluesKajyou can add the ppa after you do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade , but i would advise commenting it with a # in your /etc/apt/sources.list until you are finished dist-upgrade14:49
BluesKajthe ppa that is14:49
=== pjoe is now known as pjoe_afk
dishantpBluesKaj, so, should i go for a dist-upgrade command?14:51
BluesKajdishantp, the dpkg --clear-avail command probly cleaned out any broken packages and the -f install helped fix the rest14:51
BluesKajdis to bring your desktop up to date , yes14:52
BluesKajdishantp,^14:52
dishantpthere is no such line in /etc/apt/sources.list and the files seems quite old,  the first line says : # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release amd64 (20110427.1)]/ natty main restricted14:54
dishantpand the login screen shows,it is 12.04 ubuntu.14:55
BluesKajdishantp, if the ppa isn't listed , then open muon and make sure it's not enabled there14:55
dishantpshould i close the upgrade14:57
dishantpalready ran it ,since i couldn't find any such line14:57
BluesKajdishantp,  do this open krunner (alt+F2) kdesudo dolphin /etc/apt/sources.list.d and find the ppa and remove it ...you can always addit later15:00
naftilos76hi everyone, i was in kubuntu for a long time and happy i could say until version 4 brought all those changes in Kontact etc. As a result as you all know very well a lot of issues started regading lots of crashes as far as the whole system or kmail is mostly concerned. Has that changed or is kubuntu and especially kmail and akonadi still a buggy environment?15:00
BluesKajnaftilos76, unfortunately for some users kmail/akonadi and the PIM package remains buggy15:02
skramer_but fortunately, these "some users" seem to be a minority, for most others it works like a charm...15:03
naftilos76That is really a shame. it used to be a good email client. I am currently using thunderbird and i am very happy with it. I guess i will have to try it once again before i condemn it for good15:05
BluesKaja charm for some , and a nightmare for others , skramer_ . Is there a fix an issue that's been identified in the PIM package that affects some and not others ?15:05
naftilos76All those coders. It is really dissapointing...15:06
dishantpBluesKaj, okay, i removed anything that had the name beginning with kubuntu-ppa15:06
dishantpbut with that on, i did the dist-upgrade15:06
dishantpdo i need to do it again?15:07
BluesKajnaftilos76, I had the same experience with kmail in kde3 , worked great , then kde4 the akondi server and database totally mucked it up for me.15:07
skramer_BluesKaj: honestly, I don´t know about fixes. I just can say that all my installations don´t suffer from any problmes regarding KMail / Akonadi...15:08
BluesKajok , dishantp , add the ppa if you wish to dist-upgrade to KDE4.10 , which is quite new and still has some small bugs15:09
skramer_Myself, I still see Kmail as a very good e-mail client, if not the best...15:10
BluesKajskramer_, well , I had segfaults after a few days with kmail and they become progressively worse , so i had no choice but to switch to T-Bird15:11
naftilos76BlueKaj: I have been involved in coding of several projects of mine (not open source of any kind) and i have a pretty good idea what it feels like to have a broken app after thousands of hours of coding. It's really a shame. I hope they will soon get rid of any problematic issues.15:11
dishantpWell, no Operating system can be bugfree. So, should i add it again? I mean,you said to remove and then add. also, when i open Update manager, it still says Go for partial update or close. Any problem left?15:12
BluesKajnaftilos76, this problem has existed for yrs now , and I think the devs are overwhelmed by the problem , there are too many issues involved ...think it's hopeless15:13
skramer_BluesKaj: fresh install or upgraded system? Just asking because my system´s origin is Kubuntu 11.10, which I upgraded to 12.04 without any problems...15:14
BluesKajdishantp, yes , upgrade one more time , the add the ppa , and dist-upgrade if you want the latest kde version 4.1015:15
dishantpSure, why not. Anyway, i was having problem with cmake saying kde 4.8.5 is too old.Now that out of the box, i can play.15:16
BluesKajskramer_, I have 2 kubuntu installs , 12.10 and 13.04 beta , neither will run kmail successfully ...it's almost like it's a HW problem15:17
BluesKajon the same pc15:17
BluesKajdishantp, right15:17
dishantpThanks a lot mate. Got to go for now. Shall talk to you later.15:18
BluesKajok dishantp , later15:19
skramer_BluesKaj: Unfortunately, I have no clue what´s the problem then. Still interesting that it works for some people while others are in trouble...15:20
skramer_BluesKaj: could it be related to composting? I remember that in one of my previous installs Kontact / KMail did not work well together with Oxygen Transparent...15:21
BluesKajskramer_, I suspect it's a database link issue with kmail and akonadi not dancing in sync15:21
skramer_BluesKaj: hmm... unfortunately, those are things which I don´t know anythin about :-(15:22
BluesKajyeah, it's arcane, like mystery to me :)15:24
BluesKajthe logs never show much either15:24
skramer_yes, the logs are really not so helpful :-(15:29

Inky2000Hi guys, i have got a lenovo x220 tablet. It has 3 buttons under the screen for shortcut usage. The left one is power button and then two others. So I set the other two up with setkeycode and associated a custom script on global shortcut menu.However, on each press on one of the buttons, the script gets executed a multiple of 3 times. Any ideas?21:51
johnflux_duckx0r: 99% charging21:51
duckx0rjohnflux_, not sure then. it only happens to me when the battery is unplugged and near dead.21:53
