lordievaderGood morning07:16
=== nick is now known as Guest58634
Guest58634Gday, two noob questions. 1. How do can I download anoher word proccesor program, and from where? 2. How do I make the windows minimize to the toolbar?07:32
eoshi there. My kde takes forever to start up. It seems that nepomuk and virtuoso are using the disk at start up for some 3 minutes.07:32
eosanyone with the same problem?07:32
eosGuest58634: another compared to what? to minimize click on the third button from the right.07:33
eosGuest58634: in the top roght corner.07:33
Guest58634Compared to LibreOfficeWriter. The problem is, when I minimize, it dissapears, and I have to alt+tab back to it. It doesnt show on the bottom panel07:35
lordievadereos: Do you use Nepomuk or Virtuoso?07:39
eoslordievader: I activated nepomuk for the semantic search .... I do not understand why virtuosos starts. May it be opened by akonadi?07:40
lordievaderGuest58634: There seem to be only a few alternatives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_office_suite_software07:40
eosGuest58634: it may be you do  not have a task manager in your panel. have you checked?07:41
eoslordievader: pstree shows that virtuoso was started by nepomuservices07:42
lordievadereos: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kde/2011-March/009092.html07:42
eoslordievader: well, that is not really a solution, because then the semantic desktop does not work anymore.07:43
lordievaderI know, it was just a bit of clarification of what virtuoso does ;)07:44
eoslordievader: from what I rememebr from long time ago, virtuoso was the original databse udner nepomuk, but for some strange reason I had thought we had moved on to another db .... apologies.07:45
lordievaderTo me the whole business of nepomuk/akonadi/virtuoso is a mess, it either crashes or hogs the cpu, thus making everything very slow.07:45
lordievadereos: Is virtuoso hoggin the cpu at your pc?07:47
eoslordievader: exactly. and if you sum it to the kwin / xorg cpu load .... mmmm .... it is a real pity because 4.10.2 is really great but you cannot wait 300 seconds to have your system up and running.07:47
lordievaderSupposedly someone is working on the login procedure.07:48
=== hunter is now known as Guest60435
valoriethis virtuoso cpu-hogging used to happen for me maybe 2 years or 18 months ago, but now, never07:51
eosvalorie: it is just always the same ....08:01
eosvalorie: unless maybe creating a completely new user accout, btu then you lose everything08:01
valoriein general I do upgrades, not re-installs08:02
eosvalorie: oh ok ....08:03
valoriewhen I do have problems, I move the old .kde folder, and then put things back until I have a problem08:03
valoriethen back out the problem line08:04
eosvalorie: it takes forever, this is a production machine08:04
valorieI understand08:04
valorieJust stating my experience08:04
eosvalorie: I think you are doing the right thing, it is more complicated when you have a production machine08:05
valorieeos, agreed08:06
valorieotoh, the nepomuk maintainer is amazing, and very helpful08:07
valorieit depends on whether or not you want to continue to use kubuntu on your production machine, I guess08:08
eosvalorie: I really do not know how to solve it .... I will try contacting him. He is around here, or on the dev channel?08:08
valorielooking at the nicklist08:08
eosvalorie: well, it has worked well .... apart this issue and the kwin / xorg issue ....08:08
valoriehe goes by vhanda08:08
eosvalorie: he is no her enow, but I was asking whether he normally hangs out her eor in the dev08:09
valoriekwin maintainer is mgraesslin08:09
valorieI don't see either08:09
valoriemore likely to see them in #kde-devel08:09
valorieboth of then08:09
valoriem08:10
valoriethis is a KDE issue, not a Kubuntu issue08:10
eosvalorie: are you sure? does it happen in all distributions or only in kubuntu? The xorg / kwin does not seem to happen on all of them ....08:11
valoriethat I don't know for sure08:11
valorieI'm just saying that nepomuk=vhanda, and kwin=mgraesslin08:12
eosvalorie: thanks I will try .... by the way what dm ar eyou using, lightdm or kdm?08:13
valorielightdm I believe08:13
eosvalorie: I was wondering whether it could be the dm ....08:14
eosvalorie: oh! what graphic card / driver do you use?08:15

valorieI generally go with the defaults unless there is a reason to do otherwise08:16
valorieI don't like to futz08:16
eosvalorie: that is a quite a processor  .... but I meant graphic card08:16
valoriemy computer is a tool08:17
valoriehmm, I was hoping sysinfo would list that08:17
valoriehow do I list that in the cli?08:17

aboudreaultnot sure why, but my sound from the headphone is very very low. everything seems to be at 100% in my mixer16:48
BluesKajaboudreault, I have to ask , vol ctrl on the headphone ?16:50
=== BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen
aboudreaultBluesKaj, no, they are too cheap for that.16:50
aboudreaultI have also tried the headphone with another laptop and they are fine.16:51
BluesKajaboudreault, a laptop?16:51
aboudreaultyes.16:51
aboudreaultit was fine for years... not sure what's the problem now16:51
BluesKajuse the line out ?16:52
aboudreaultsorry, what do you mean? what is the line out?16:53
ovidiu-florinlordievader: you did?16:54
ovidiu-florinsorry I don't remember16:55
BluesKajwell ,some laptops have an audio line ot where a separate sound system can be connected , sometimes this doubles as a hp out16:55
aboudreaultBluesKaj, ah. that.. nah the other line out never worked. I always used the same.16:56
RYDeNim testing kubuntu 12.10 for a very first time16:57
RYDeNand it's amazing16:57
BluesKajaboudreault, did you check alsamixer F5 , maybe the line out is muted or turned ...it really should work16:58
BluesKajor turned down16:58
aboudreaulti hear something, so it's not muted. in alsamixer.. I see Master, Headphone, Headphone 1 set to 10016:59
aboudreaultstrange.17:00
BluesKajwhat about kmix in the panel , is it turned up too ?17:02
aboudreaultyes.17:03
aboudreaultI guess I'll have to investigate deeper soon.17:03
ovidiu-florinaboudreault: If you wont be able to fix this, try this workaround: install the veromix widget and in it's settings you'll have volume. you can set the maximum to be 200 or 300. and increase the volume using this widget17:04
ovidiu-florinyou can drag it in the panel17:04
aboudreaultok thanks for mentionning.17:05
BluesKajor aboudreault if you have pavucontrol installed , check the volume there17:07
aboudreaultwill install it.17:07
BluesKajforgot to mention17:07
=== manu is now known as Guest41152
ovidiu-florinaboudreault: I use that for laptops with weak speakers17:11
aboudreaulteverything is at 100% there too.17:13
ovidiu-florinaboudreault: go to the pulse audio tab17:16
ovidiu-florinand set max volume value to 20017:16
aboudreaultthe sound is really crappy if I do that.17:16
aboudreaultthere must be something else....  will re-test my headphone to be sure with another device17:17
ovidiu-florinaboudreault: that means that there is something else17:17
BluesKajmaybe the HPs are cooked17:17

BluesKajkardbored, what kind of subject are you looking for ?17:30
kardboredwell, i guess my main area of questoin is: do people typically search and join channels on known networks, or do users typically know of secret servers and channels which they join? or both?17:31
bazhang!alis | kardbored have a search17:31
ubottukardbored have a search: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http*17:31

zzillezzhello, is there any reason why certain fonts look bigger (eg. firefox) than the rest of my kde system ? i chose a smaller font in 'configure my computer > application appearance'18:15
drostiezzillezz: gtk applications like Firefox don't obey the same parameters as the Qt apps, I think.18:18
BluesKajzzillezz, you can set your fonts in firefox>edit>preferences>content18:19
zzillezzdrostie: not on my system :(18:19
zzillezzok, i'll have a look BluesKaj18:19
roneyzzillezz: There's any entry in System Settings > Appearance for gtk apps.18:20
NJLas of the last firefox update my context menu is no longer contextual.  I shows every item all the time.  Is this a known issue?18:22
BluesKajdrostie, zzillezzif you make the gtk font settings in system settings the same as the system fonts , it should work afaik18:23
drostieBluesKaj: There's something in general missing for GTK though. Like, the GTK application associations seem to be totally different from the Qt ones. It's why I am very reluctant to have Wine on my KDE computer; the package management system installs Wine Notepad as a default viewer for all sorts of stuff and then every once in a while Firefox opens something in Wine Notepad. :x18:24
drostieI don't know what it is that's missing, but it just seems like some open desktop thing is not shared between the two, if that makes sense.18:25
BluesKajwell , FF here works with the gtk fonts and it could be because all fonts are the same in system settings, gtk and FF content18:27
BluesKajdrostie,^18:27
zzillezzhmm, when i change the fonts in the firefox settings, nothing seems to change .. even after restarting the browser18:29
