[00:17] <spelya> Hello! Help would be appreciated with installation or configuration  on WUBI.
[00:17] <spelya> I Just installed WUBI and reboot. The kde gear with progress dots appear for a while, then the splash screen changes, but stalls from there.
[00:23] <spelya> English or french correspondant accepted
[00:27] <spelya> Bye
[00:37] <MountainX> I'm running Kubuntu 12.04. After a system update about a month ago KSnapshot stopped working for me. All it does is capture the stock desktop background. I cannot actually capture any application windows. Anyone else seeing this?
[00:38] <MountainX> My KSnapshot version is 0.8.2
[00:48] <MountainX> Gimp's screen capture feature has the same error. The appearance of the error coincides with a Kubuntu system update that changed the way the desktop is shown (now hidden better) when the desktop is locked. I am guessing it was a security change. But it broke the ability of apps to capture the screen. Surely other people have experienced this...
[01:15] <MountainX> In case it matters, I'm running KDE platform version 4.8.5 and kernel 3.2.0-39-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 28 00:28:53 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:47] <valorie> MountainX: have you checked for a bug in bugs.kde.org?
[01:47] <valorie> sounds more like a KDE bug than a Kubuntu packaging error
[01:47] <valorie> although a check of launchpad of course would be worthwhile as well
[01:48] <valorie> the bug trackers are more likely to give you information than random people paying attention in channel
[01:57] <MountainX> valorie: I just checked at bugs.kde.org and I did not find anything that looked relevant to me. There are 145 bugs related to KSnapshot.
[01:59] <valorie> so it may be a kwin problem
[02:00] <valorie> so I suggest #kwin
[02:00] <valorie> martin is really helpful
[02:17] <MountainX> valorie: thank you
[02:18] <valorie> best of luck!
[08:35] <Dudalus_> Is there an easy way to use a Qt 4 and 5 toolchain on a Kubuntu system ? Because Qt5 doesn't use the doxygen style (Compiled with Qt 4)
[08:35] <Dudalus_> + and KDE 4
[09:06] <hateball> !info pastebinit | bentech4you
[09:06] <hateball> hmmm
[09:06] <hateball> !info pastebinit
[09:06] <hateball> why isnt that working...
[09:06] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[09:19] <bentech4you> thanks pastebin is working now
[09:45] <chiefw0tj> greetings.
[09:58] <simion314> hi all, any idea why the hell all say that openSUSE has athe best KDE implementation? I am running Kubuntu for years and I think all the bugs or issues are upstream bugs and not packaging bugs,  also having latest KDe on 12.04 LTS is great , the kubuntu devs are great
[10:01] <ihatetearing> a (for me rather annoying) bug ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307965 ) is fixed in kde 4.11, when can I expect that fix to arrive in kubuntu? 14.04? (planned release date for 4.11 is 2013-8-14)
[10:13] <yofel> ihatetearing: 13.10, the older releases will get backports as possible
[10:21] <ihatetearing> ok, thank you
[11:49] <skramer_> Hi. I would like to scan an image directly into The Gimp, but there´s no option for that on Kubuntu 12.04 and KDE 4.10.1? Any hints how to do that as I could not find much useful information on the web?
[11:50] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:00] <lordievader> Good afternoon
[12:04] <z4ch> Is there anyone here that could help me compile something from source? I'm getting a command not found error when i try to run ./configure
[12:06] <lordievader> What command is not found, z4ch?
[12:07] <z4ch> ./configure
[12:07] <z4ch> i'm fairly new to linux, i think maybe it just means that this source package doesn't have a configure file right?
[12:08] <BluesKaj> z4 is there a readme file ?
[12:08] <z4ch> but i try to run autoconf bc there's a configure.ac.in file, but it doens't work and has a huge list of code that shows up
[12:08] <BluesKaj> z4ch: ^
[12:08] <z4ch> yeah, the readme says to run ./configure :/
[12:08] <lordievader> z4ch: That is a script.. There is probably a command in there for which the package isn't installed.
[12:08] <lordievader> z4ch: Did you install the build-essentials package?
[12:08] <z4ch> yeah
[12:09] <lordievader> build-essential*
[12:09] <z4ch> and there were about 5 packages on the site that said they were dependencies so i installed those too, one of them being autoconf
[12:09] <lordievader> z4ch: Can you pastebin the full output you get when you run this configure script? (http://paste.kde.org/)
[12:10] <BluesKaj> z4ch:  you need to be in the path , cd to the package/app directory in the terminal then run ./configure
[12:11] <z4ch> i'm not that new to linux. lol
[12:11] <z4ch> and sorry this is taking me a little bit, i'm using teamviewer from work
[12:11] <z4ch> there's a little lag
[12:12] <z4ch> i pasted the output from ./configure
[12:12] <BluesKaj> z4ch:  well, don't know what you know or don't know
[12:12] <z4ch> if you want me to paste the output from autoconf' it's going ot be a lot more
[12:12] <z4ch> i know, i was just sying
[12:13] <lordievader> z4ch: Just the output when you run the configure script.
[12:13] <z4ch> ~/paste/709418
[12:15] <lordievader> z4ch: Is this paste.kde?
[12:16] <z4ch> i think. i just clicked on th elink you typed then pasted it in there
[12:16] <z4ch> but it's only one line, should i just type it?
[12:17] <z4ch> it says "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[12:17] <z4ch> "
[12:17] <lordievader> z4ch: Yes I see now. And you are in the right path? When you run ls you see the configure script?
[12:17] <z4ch> yeah, i just dont think there's a configure script in this source package. does that happen sometimes?
[12:18] <lordievader> z4ch: Does the ls command list it?
[12:18] <BluesKaj> z4ch:  you should see one
[12:18] <z4ch> no
[12:18] <lordievader> z4ch: There is your problem ;)
[12:18] <z4ch> just conifgure.ac.in
[12:19] <z4ch> so then do i need to use autoconf to generate a configure script?
[12:19] <lordievader> z4ch: No, it should be in the source tar-ball.
[12:19] <z4ch> so this is prbly just an complete tar-ball?
[12:20] <lordievader> z4ch: What did you download exactly?
[12:20] <z4ch> ps3-utils
[12:20] <z4ch> well, ps3-utils.2.3 to be more precise
[12:21] <z4ch> the only .deb file i could fine was for the powerpc architecture
[12:21] <lordievader> z4ch: The ps3-utils_2.3.orig.tar.gz?
[12:21] <z4ch> yes
[12:22] <lordievader> z4ch: Isn't in the repo? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/ps3-utils/2.3-1
[12:22] <lordievader> !info ps3-utils
[12:23] <z4ch> i downloaded the one i have from launchpad
[12:23] <z4ch> just from the precise page instead of quantal
[12:24] <lordievader> z4ch: You are right it is the autoconf thingie: "The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
[12:24] <lordievader> called `autoconf'.  You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
[12:24] <lordievader> it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'."
[12:29] <BluesKaj> z4ch:  which kubuntu are you running?
[12:40] <BluesKaj> odd that the config file is missing or corrupted. lordievader
[12:41] <yofel> not odd, there's a bootstrap script in there which has to be run first
[12:41] <yofel> common thing with autotools
[12:42] <BluesKaj> hi yofel , then it should be listed in the readme instructions
[12:43] <yofel> indeed
[12:43] <lordievader> It is, I quoted the readme a bit back.
[12:44] <lordievader> It is mentioned in the readme, I mean.
[12:48] <yofel> lordievader: the bootstrap script itself isn't explicitely mentioned - so you would first need to know what the autotools are to use this
[12:49] <lordievader> yofel: True, it isn't a great readme.
[12:59] <ghazali> dfas
[12:59] <ghazali> works fine!
[15:13] <Macer> hm. i'm having a problem with kleopatra
[15:13] <Macer> i'm trying to set up certs and i can't seem to get kleopatra to work properly. i keep getting errors
[15:13] <Macer> gpg-agent connectivity not reachable
[15:17] <jxjl> hi, is there any way, how to improve flash player performance on intel gma graphics? when I open any web page, that uses flash, it consumes 100% of avaliable cpu time
[15:20] <BluesKaj> Macer:  did you install a ppa , if so then you need a gpg key from the ppa site
[15:23] <Macer> BluesKaj: huh? for kmail?
[15:23] <Macer> i'm using it to set up my gpg stuff for sending/receiving encrypted emails
[15:23] <Macer> but nm. i figured it out. or should i say someone else did
[15:23] <Macer> not sure if someone filed a bug on it
[15:23] <Macer> seems more a kde issue than anything
[15:24] <BluesKaj> ok thought you were talking about a different app , Macer
[15:24] <Macer> https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/684902
[15:25] <Macer> kmail uses kleopatra as its gpg cert manager
[15:25] <BluesKaj> well I wouldn't know sincew I don't use kmail or any KDE PIM
[15:26] <Macer> heh
[15:26] <Macer> wow really?
[15:26] <Macer> i'd use all of it if i can.. especially if i am able to get owncloud to sync using dav
[15:26] <Macer> then you can sync contacts and calendar stuff on your phone to kde :)
[15:27] <BluesKaj> I don't need a calendar
[15:27] <BluesKaj> the panel one works for me :)
[15:27] <Macer> grrrrr
[15:27] <Macer> now it's not working
[15:28] <BluesKaj> not on the job here Macer ...I'm retired no need for an email database either
[15:28] <Macer> heh
[15:29] <BluesKaj> we actually talk to one another by phone , that must seem ancient to you tho :)
[15:30] <Macer> grrrrr
[15:33] <Macer> ok still not working :-/
[15:36] <BluesKaj> Macer:  kmail/akonadi  database server don't work on some systems and haven't for a long time , mine's one of them ,,,they begin to segfault after working correctly for a day or 2
[15:37] <Macer> BluesKaj: well... i'll have to discover that for myself ;)
[15:37] <Macer> right now i'm working on encryption
[15:39] <BluesKaj> Macer:  kmail/akonadi work fine on some systems , most intel cpu based I suspect ...amd does have success but not as much
[15:39] <Macer> alrighty :) just sent it to myself heh
[15:39] <Macer> nice. that actually worked.
[15:41] <Macer> finally. ugh. :)
[15:43] <Macer> hm
[15:44] <Macer> i guess you can only use gpg with clients?
[15:44] <Macer> gmail doesn't support it? I guess not huh? heh
[15:49] <BluesKaj> Macer:  that's why i use thunderbird , supports pop, imap
[15:53] <Macer> and gpg :-P
[15:53] <Macer> heh
[15:54] <Macer> i meant the gmail web stuff
[15:54] <Macer> then again i suppose gmail can't data mine encrypted emails :)
[15:55] <BluesKaj> gmail, can be redirected to send to thunderbird
[16:06] <abhayiit> I am trying to connect internet in ubuntu using pppoe but I am not able to .please help me
[16:06] <Macer> ubuntu or kubntu?
[16:07] <Macer> if you are using pppoe for dsl.. you just have to start network manager and add it to the dsl tab
[16:07] <Macer> not too sure about ubuntu but i'm sure the network manager works rather similar
[16:08] <abhayiit> I started network manager and then added dsl
[16:08] <abhayiit> in dsl I added username and password but no luck
[16:09] <abhayiit> Macer: ubuntu and kubuntu are very much similar
[16:13] <BluesKaj> dsl wifi or eth0
[16:13] <BluesKaj> ?
[16:14] <abhayiit> BluesKaj: dsl eth0
[16:14] <BluesKaj> router/modem ., or just modem
[16:14] <BluesKaj> ?
[16:15] <abhayiit> BluesKaj: router/modem
[16:17] <BluesKaj> then network manager should just connect by default , without any settings , abhayiit , have you entered a password for your use or some such ?
[16:17] <BluesKaj> err user that is'
[16:17] <Macer> oh
[16:17] <Macer> the configuration for the dsl needs to be done on the router not kde
[16:18] <Macer> kde simply connects to the router as thought it's connecting to your local network
[16:18] <abhayiit> BluesKaj: I entered username and password in dsl configuration
[16:19] <BluesKaj> on the router or in network manager?
[16:19] <abhayiit> Macer: I can plese help in configuring my router
[16:19] <abhayiit> BluesKaj: in network manager
[16:19] <Macer> abhayiit: remove the dsl configuration from kde
[16:20] <Macer> it won't work like that unless you plug the kde box directly into your modem
[16:20] <BluesKaj> there's no need in network manager unless you're using wifi abhayiit
[16:20] <Macer> the login/password is done on the router
[16:20] <abhayiit> How can I configure my router
[16:20] <Macer> find the instructions
[16:20] <Macer> lol
[16:21] <BluesKaj> abhayiit:  Macer is correct
[16:21] <Macer> or call whomever gave it to you :)
[16:21] <Macer> there are a lot of different routers
[16:21] <Macer> if i were to take a stab at it
[16:21] <abhayiit> I am having bsnl teracom router
[16:21] <Macer> i'd say set up kde to use dhcp. open a browser and try to connect to 192.168.1.1
[16:21] <Macer> but all routers are different
[16:21] <abhayiit> with ip address 192.168.1.1
[16:22] <Macer> then set kde up for dhcp .. it will usually grab an ip off the router since they're a usually defaulted to running dhcpd
[16:22] <Macer> then open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.1
[16:22] <BluesKaj> abhayiit:  open you browser , try http:/home in the addressbar
[16:23] <abhayiit> 192.168.1.1 opens a page of my router
[16:23] <abhayiit> http:/home is not working
[16:24] <Macer> ok
[16:24] <Macer> so login to your router.. usually there is a default password
[16:24] <Macer> maybe admin/admin
[16:24] <BluesKaj> or run route -n in the terminal , and look for the gateway IP
[16:24] <abhayiit> yes I logined
[16:24] <Macer> there should be a configuration for your "WAN interface"
[16:24] <abhayiit> BluesKaj: gateway ip is 192.168.1.1
[16:24] <Macer> maybe a dropdown menu
[16:25] <Macer> and you should see dsl or pppoe
[16:25] <Macer> by default it probably has dhcp
[16:25] <Macer> like i said. they're not all the same
[16:25] <Macer> when you choose pppoe or dsl it will make areas to put in your login/password
[16:25] <abhayiit> there is lan ,dhcp,dhcp relay andinternet connection configuration
[16:26] <Macer> internet connection configuration
[16:26] <Macer> would have it
[16:26] <abhayiit> in internet connection there is a default and options to add new etc
[16:27] <Macer> on the router?
[16:27] <abhayiit> Macer: sorry I didnt got u
[16:28] <BluesKaj> abhayiit:  best to stick with the defaults on the router , take the network manager back to default as well
[16:28] <abhayiit> BluesKaj: but with defaults nothing is happening
[16:28] <Macer> abhayiit: is it a router/modem?
[16:28] <abhayiit> i.e no internet
[16:28] <Macer> ie: it does both?
[16:28] <Macer> or do you have a dsl modem connected to  a router?
[16:29] <abhayiit> Macer: actually I dont know properly
[16:29] <Macer> are there 1 or 2 devices?
[16:29] <Macer> connected to your phone line
[16:29] <abhayiit> only 1 device
[16:29] <BluesKaj> abhayiit:  what's the name on the device
[16:29] <Macer> ok so it goes from phone line and has ethernet ports on it?
[16:30] <abhayiit> teracom
[16:30] <abhayiit> Macer: yes u are correct
[16:30] <Macer> then look around the screens for a section that says "dsl" heh
[16:30] <Macer> or maybe "internet connection"
[16:31] <Programmer_>  how  do i make my resolution set a certain way when vga is connected. automatically
[16:31] <abhayiit> Macer: I selected Internet connection'
[16:31] <Macer> yeah
[16:32] <Macer> it would be underneath configuration ... internet conenction
[16:32] <Macer> do you see any pull down menus??
[16:32] <abhayiit> Macer: in internet connection there is a default one and options to add new
[16:33] <Macer> the default one is already there?
[16:33] <Macer> pick the default one
[16:33] <abhayiit> yes
[16:33] <abhayiit> ok
[16:33] <Programmer_> anyone?
[16:33] <abhayiit> Macer: should I edit the default one
[16:33] <Macer> Programmer_: i found out that you can't :-/
[16:33] <Macer> abhayiit: yes
[16:33] <Macer> Programmer_: i had the same problem connecting my hdmi
[16:33] <abhayiit> done
[16:34] <Macer> what do you see?
[16:34] <BluesKaj> Programmer_:  system settings>monitor&Display
[16:34] <Programmer_> that sucks ass
[16:34] <Macer> Programmer_: may be different for other cards. i know intel can't do it
[16:34] <Programmer_> BluesKaj, i meant in a way that windows 7 does. so you dont have to touch the settings at all
[16:34] <Programmer_> yeah im on intel
[16:34] <abhayiit> vpi,vci,service category,peak cell rate
[16:34] <Macer> Programmer_: heh. yeah i ran into that a little while ago
[16:34] <abhayiit> Sustainable Cell Rate
[16:34] <Macer> cell rate?
[16:35] <BluesKaj> Programmer_:  ain't no such thing , once set tho it should stick
[16:35] <Macer> it's a cell phone dsl ?
[16:35] <abhayiit> no landline dsl
[16:35] <Programmer_> i remove it occassionally
[16:35] <Macer> oh
[16:35] <Macer> do you see a menu
[16:35] <Macer> that says dsl home?
[16:35] <Programmer_> only time i connect it is when im lazy and way to lay in the bed and surf the web
[16:35] <abhayiit> yes
[16:35] <Macer> try there
[16:35] <abhayiit> there is a dsl home
[16:36] <abhayiit> I clicked on it and there is management server andcwm parameters
[16:36] <Macer> kind of odd your phone company didn't have this set up for you already :)
[16:37] <abhayiit> Macer: what should I select out of the two
[16:38] <Macer> you don't see pppoe?
[16:38] <abhayiit> no
[16:39] <Macer> http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-347725-bsnl-teracom-wireless-router-configuration
[16:39] <Macer> maybe that will help you more ;)
[16:39] <Macer> it is difficult for me to do it without being able to see it
[16:39] <Macer> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J8vouAk4ew
[16:39] <Macer> there is a video for you ;)
[16:40] <Macer> step by step
[16:40] <abhayiit> Macer: mine is not a wireless
[16:40] <FloodBotK1> Macer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:40] <Macer> doesn't matter..... the wireless and wired act the same... wired is even less steps because you don't have to do the wifi stuff
[16:41] <abhayiit> thanks macer I will try it
[16:41] <abhayiit> :)
[16:41] <Macer> oh i'm sorry
[16:41] <Macer> not a good video to use.. it only shows the wireless config
[16:42] <abhayiit> Macer: I will try with the tutorial
[16:43] <Macer> http://www.calcutta.bsnl.co.in/dataoneinstall/pppoe12a.html
[16:43] <Macer> there you go :)
[16:43] <Macer> look at step 5
[16:43] <Macer> that's where you are
[16:45] <abhayiit> thanks Macer
[16:45] <Macer> http://www.corenetworkz.com/2010/06/configure-internet-connection-in-bsnl.html
[16:45] <Macer> that one has pictures
[16:45] <Macer> ;)
[16:54] <BluesKaj> I never had dsl ethernet network problems with any routers in linux , they just auto connected ...of course later I dumped networkmanager in favour of configuring the interfaces and resolv.conf files manually
[16:56] <Macer> wow
[16:56] <Macer> i just realized.. in the IM app.. what happened to all the other options?
[16:56] <Macer> like getting more plugins (like otr) and getting more styles?
[16:56] <Macer> it's just konversation isn't it?
[16:57] <Macer> oh. not konversation. hm. what was it called before?
[16:59] <BluesKaj> konversation bases it's look on your global settings in appearances in application and worspace in system settings , the settings in knoverstion are restricted to fonts , colours etc
[16:59] <Macer> BluesKaj: the IM app... i can't remember what it used to be called
[16:59] <Macer> but it used to have a lot more options
[16:59] <BluesKaj> kopete?
[17:00] <Macer> yes kopete
[17:00] <Macer> it is missing options now
[17:00] <Macer> such as im window themes
[17:00] <Macer> and otr
[17:01] <Macer> oh. i guess it's not kopete... it's an off brand knockoff
[17:01] <Macer> heh
[17:01] <abhayiit> Macer: thanks for your help
[17:01] <Macer> oh.. it's a telepathy front end
[17:01] <Macer> so kde uses telepathy now it seems
[17:01] <Macer> abhayiit: did you get it working?
[17:02] <abhayiit> yes it is working now
[17:02] <BluesKaj> kopete was dropped in favour of kde imcontacts, doesn't seem to have a name
[17:02] <Macer> wow.. it also doesn't adhere to the overall theme
[17:03] <BluesKaj> Macer:  some ppl still use pidgin
[17:03] <Macer> using a dark theme in kde still has it using black txt with a black background
[17:03] <Macer> BluesKaj: probably for all the features
[17:03] <Macer> i hate using pidgin because you lose the kde integration
[17:03] <BluesKaj> Macer:  dark themes seem to suffer i kde
[17:03] <BluesKaj> in
[17:03] <Macer> i hate having redundant apps ;) like 4 web browsers heh
[17:03] <Macer> i would love to just use rekonq but it doesn't work with the synology dsm
[17:03] <Macer> which is a bit important
[17:04] <BluesKaj> rekonq is hopeless , some still use konqueror , but it's not up to par anymore either
[17:05] <Macer> i disagree
[17:05] <Macer> i think rekonq is great
[17:05] <Macer> other than it not working with my synology stuff it was actually working quite well
[17:06] <BluesKaj> well , to each his own , doesn't work here very well at all
[17:06] <Macer> heh. i should try it again
[17:06] <Macer> it was working great until i updated the dsm :-/
[17:07] <Macer> other than that tho i didn't really have many problems
[17:07] <Macer> it's very close to being a viable browser
[17:13] <abhayiit> I am having laptop heating problem while using ubuntu.I have tried all the available tweaks that I found on google .but no use can someone help me

[17:16] <lordievader> !patience | abhayiit
[17:17] <BluesKaj> abhayiit:  have you updated/upgraded kubuntu lately ?
[17:18] <abhayiit> BluesKaj: I use ubuntu 12.04
[17:18] <abhayiit> not kubuntu
[17:18] <BluesKaj> then you should ask in #ubuntu , abhayiit
[17:40] <Zeel> ?
[17:41] <Zeel> How do you do a nat connection via SSID on virtual pc?
[17:41] <Zeel> the virtual pc is a kubuntu install
[17:42] <bazhang> virtual pc the microsoft product?
[17:42] <Zeel> can't connect via nat on a windows 7 host
[17:42] <roney> What virtualization tool are you running?
[17:42] <Zeel> yes microsoft product
[17:43] <bazhang> thats not really a kubuntu question Zeel
[17:43] <Zeel> The virtualizaiton tool is virtual pc
[17:44] <Zeel> its a valid question...
[17:45] <roney> Yeah, bazhang is right. That's really a Kubuntu question. But, IIRC correctly, most virtualization softwares have a config tool to deal with networks.
[17:45] <roney> thats not really*
[17:45] <bazhang> Zeel, its a valid virtual pc networking question
[18:26] <Zeel> What's the su password?
[18:26] <goodtime> your password i bet
[18:27] <Pici> !sudo
[18:27] <lordievader> Zeel: Root account is disabled by default. So "su" will not work. To use elevated privileges use sudo.
[18:27] <Zeel> btw, virtual box worked fine with kubuntu
[18:28] <Zeel> virtual pc is proprietary to microsoft products
[18:29] <goodtime> virtual box is fussy like that
[18:29] <Zeel> lol
[18:29] <goodtime>  i dont like it
[18:31] <Zeel> Thanks, lordievader...
[18:31] <lordievader> No problem, Zeel ;)
[18:36] <mikkle> My panel with only icon-tasks doesn't automatically resize when I set the minimum size to its lowest and maximum to its highest
[18:37] <mikkle> it works for the default task manager though...weird
[18:38] <mikkle> yes
[18:42] <ovidiu-florin> I keep receiving this notification: A new widget has become available on the network:

[19:05] <keithzg> Hmm, tomahawk has only one major flaw for me: it doesn't notice my play/pause button unless I have the application in focus (and unlike Amarok, etc it doesn't show up as a component in the SystemSettings global shortcuts config, so I can't apparently set that up easily).
[19:06] <lordievader> keithzg: Does it have some command line options/dbus?
[19:07] <keithzg> lordievader: according to a forum post from february last year it does implement the MPRIS2 media player spec via dbus
[19:07] <lordievader> keithzg: You might be able to control it through there. Set it up in a bash script and call the script with a global key-shortcut.
[19:09] <keithzg> lordievader: yeah, looking into that right now; I see at least some folks have done so for Clementine (http://wiki.clementine-player.googlecode.com/git/MPRIS.wiki ) so it shouldn't be too hard for me to figure this out :)
[19:10] <lordievader> keithzg: I believe my clemetine/music-control script also uses mpris, I'll take a look.
[19:11] <lordievader> Hmm it doesn't, it just simply calls clementine -t (or something)...
[19:12] <lordievader> keithzg: This works though with mpris (still clementine): qdbus org.mpris.clementine /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Play
[19:13] <keithzg> lordievader: Sadly for tomahawk "No such object path '/Player'"
[19:14] <lordievader> keithzg: What options does it give for "qdbus org.mpris.tomahawk" <- I think it is that?
[19:15] <keithzg> lordievader: /,/AudioOutputs,/AudioOutputs/0,/org,/org/mpris,/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
[19:15] <lordievader> keithzg: I think you need /org/mpris/MediaPLayer2
[19:17] <keithzg> lordievader: As the second argument, replacing /Player?  Still no such object path. Hmm . . .
[19:17] <lordievader> keithzg: Yes so your command becomes: qdbus org.mpris.tomahawk /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
[19:18] <lordievader> keithzg: I'll download tomahawk, and check it out ;)
[19:18] <keithzg> lordievader: :) Although I think I might have it, actually . . . I just copy-pasted your line like a script kiddie, that was the issue
[19:19] <keithzg> lordievader: Not sure quite where the typo is, but "qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.tomahawk /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause" works fine!
[19:20] <lordievader> keithzg: Ah yes, I didn't have tomahawk installed had to guess for a bit.
[19:21] <keithzg> lordievader: Well, you got ridiculously close, and it solved this in the end for me, so many thanks :)
[19:21] <lordievader> keithzg: No problem ;)
[19:24] <lordievader> keithzg: If you use more that one music player what you could do is build a check in your bash script to check what program is running. It's what my script does :)
[19:24] <keithzg> lordievader: Good idea, that makes sense
[20:08] <SonikkuAmerica> *sigh* I haz problem: Ever since I plugged in my Logitech H540 into my Fujitsu T4220 running Quantal, I can't get the sound to work properly...
[20:11] <SonikkuAmerica> Logitech H540 is a USB headset...
[20:11] <JosefStalin> !ops | bazhang
[20:12] <SonikkuAmerica> JosefStalin: That rules applies across the *buntu channel community... (and you don't have to send it to a particular person)
[20:13] <SonikkuAmerica> *rule
[20:18] <SonikkuAmerica> (2: 8 minutes) *sigh* I haz problem: Ever since I plugged in my Logitech H540 into my Fujitsu T4220 running Quantal, I can't get the sound to work properly...
[20:24] <jussi> SonikkuAmerica: I assume you ave been in system settings and set the headset as default? and in kmix and adjusted the headset settings there?
[20:25] <SonikkuAmerica> Yep. Even went to Phonon.
[20:26] <jussi> SonikkuAmerica: can you define " I can't get the sound to work properly..."
[20:26] <jussi> ie. what is "not working properly" ?
[20:27] <SonikkuAmerica> jussi: Sure, it typically happens when connecting and disconnecting: when I do one or the other, sounds and music cease to play.
[20:28] <SonikkuAmerica> jussi: Then when I re-set the playback to "built-in audio," it doesn't work until I reboot.
[20:30] <SonikkuAmerica> Oops! False alarm, it works now! (I had rebooted previously) Thanks anyway! ::facepalms::
[20:31]  * jussi hugs SonikkuAmerica

[21:16] <volkan> hello, how can I generate a PGP key for Launchpad under Kubuntu?
[21:18] <lordievader> volkan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[21:25] <volkan> lordievader: thanks. will try it out.
[21:28] <lordievader> No problem, volkan. Through that guide I created my own Launchpad PGP key ;)
[21:40] <volkan> lordievader: i think i did :D.thanks again
