Taggnostrhello01:58
monkeyjuicehey01:58
Taggnostrhow can I change the default associations for protocols/extensions (e.g. ftp:// or .mp3)?01:59
Taggnostrin settings there's "default applications", but it only has a few entries (email, text editor, file manager, IM, terminal, browser, windows manager)01:59
amingvTaggnostr: for extensions System Settings>File Associations02:10
amingvTaggnostr: or right click on the file>Properties>File type options02:10
amingvFor protocols, I don't think that you can directly associate them with a particular application02:11

AlexeiRomanovi AM, after all, a ROMANOV07:08
AlexeiRomanovthe Russian Empire is rightfully MINE! step aside, Putin!07:08
AlexeiRomanovif it really was that i simply forgot to turn the wifi on, after downloading and installing 13.04 Beta 2, and unetbootin it to flash drive... and installing it... and it all failed because i forgot to turn the wifi on to update, then i went all the way back to 12.10.... ugh07:09
AlexeiRomanovbecause that would be very embaressing07:10
AlexeiRomanovi didn't even save the beta 2 either, it went right to flash drive... so i'll have to download it AGAIN07:11
AlexeiRomanovnot that it takes long at 15mbps, but WHY didn't i check the WIFI SWITCH!07:11

JensKapitzahi, is there a way to remove the Actvities from Kubuntu desktop  for one special user? (right corner icon) - the taskbar icons are removeable but i can't find the delete option at the corner icon08:02
MamarokJensKapitza: you can't really remove Activities, but you can remove the icon. It will still be available through the right click on the desktop, though. That's what you want?08:04
JensKapitzaMamarok: yes08:09
MamarokJensKapitza: then please have a look at this blog, there is an update on it for newer versions: http://blog.hanschen.org/2008/10/23/plasma-how-to-remove-the-cashew/08:11
Mamarokmind you, you are entirely on your own here, not supported by us08:11
Mamarokand you could have googled that yourself :)08:11
JensKapitzaMamarok: ^^ thanks (i've googled activites not cashew) but i don't want to remove it for all users just for one08:12
MamarokJensKapitza: then it's Stealth Cashew you need08:16
JensKapitzaMamarok: just moving to the new KDE (unity sucks, and XP user will not move to windows 8  - KDE is much easier to use - [like XP] ), i'm searching some known features know.08:22

smartboyhwHello10:42
DLandonColeheya10:42
DLandonColewould you be able to help me with a kubuntu install?10:43
smartboyhwDLandonCole: Yeah sure. What's the issue?10:44
DLandonColei have a 20GB hard drive i'm trying to install onto; it keeps saying that there's not enough space on there10:44
smartboyhwDLandonCole: Hmm how did you partition it?10:45
DLandonColei told it to use the whole thing10:45
DLandonColethere was a previous install of linux mint10:45
DLandonColei'm looking at the partition manager from the live CD and it sees it there as a 20GB drive10:46
DLandonColei'm just a bit confused10:46
smartboyhwDLandonCole: Hmm10:46
DLandonColein the manager, though, it's made two partitions10:46
DLandonColeone is 2.72GiB, and it's trying to install it there10:47
DLandonColeand then there's a 15.92GB space it seems to have allocated to swap10:47
smartboyhwDLandonCole: That MUCH swap?!10:48
DLandonColeyes10:48
smartboyhwTry re-partitioning then10:48
DLandonColeshould it not have done that from the installer?10:48
smartboyhwDLandonCole: I think it recongnizes non-swap space…10:49
DLandonColeok, i've used the partitionmanager to delete all the partitions and create a single, new ext4 partition on the whole disk10:51
DLandonColethat sound about right to you?10:51
smartboyhwDLandonCole: Yep sure:)10:52

pianogmxunless you suggest doing it from the terminal?14:48

pianogmxIf Alex was seriously using Kubuntu since 8.04, then wouldn't the person just wise up and realize that no OS (Windows, Linux distros, Mac) are perfect in their very nature...16:47
AlexZionCaptain_Proton:  yeah I'll check some other option to use KDE without be worried about it , I need a distro to work , and I cannot even image that it do something like this ...16:48
pianogmxso just a heads up AlexZion, nothing is perfect.  its just your willingness to work with imperfection.16:48
pianogmxhey i thought 13.04 was using a 3.8.x kernel?16:49
AlexZionpianogmx:  just one things , defending those stupid error , because they are , you are not making a good service to kubuntu ...., anyway , is just point of view16:49
AlexZionhere it seems not a real problem of perfect software16:49
Captain_ProtonAlexZion: I understand. I did distro upgrade is check by default. so why it did it. if you are running 8.04 were yo u staying there for 3.5 kde16:49
Captain_Protoni did check*16:50
pianogmxAlexZion, i didn't defened, rather I opened the idea of you contributing  by sending a bug report or fixing it yourself.16:50
AlexZionI'm on 12.10 Captain_Proton..., but it'sd ok , don't worry ......16:50
AlexZionI even tried to partecipate pianogmx but anytime the answer eas , not we will not change taht comma , so, after a while ......, you know ...16:51
AlexZionanyway , sorry to disturb you guys ......, and don't worry about what I said ....., have fun .....16:52

mikkleMuon shows a distribution upgrade, but when I click "upgrade", nothing happens.17:03
mikkleI've tried updating software sources, etc. but nothing works17:04
pianogmxmikkle, you might have stumbled into the same problem i have had...17:04
pianogmxmikkle: i had to upgrade some packages in order to allow the upgrade to work17:04
mikklepianogmx, no packages show up for upgrading17:05
mikkleif I do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" it says that 0 packages will be upgraded17:06
mikkleif I do a "sudo do-release-upgrade" it appears to be able to upgrade it...I haven't done it yet just in case this is not a safe method of upgrading17:07
mikkledoes anything know?17:07
mikkleI meant, "anyone"17:07
pianogmxmikkle: i had to look through my logs17:08
pianogmxmikkle: try going into terminal and reinstall 'update-manager-core'17:08
mikkleaha17:09
mikklehow?17:09
mikkleis apt-get reinstall a command?17:09
mikklebtw, I have the backports repo enabled17:10
pianogmxmikkle: sudo apt-get remove update-manager-core17:10
pianogmxmikkle: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core17:10
pianogmxbefore you do that though... do sudo apt-get update17:10
AlexZionwell it's quite funny ; I didn't want to upgrade and the procedure starts just with a click....., people who want to upgrade they cannot ....., wow  really excellent release ....17:11
pianogmxAlexZion: to each his own...17:11
pianogmxAlexZion: let me know when you do something optimistic and constructive in the channel. id be impressed17:12
mikkleI got it to work by running "sudo do-release-upgrade -f kde -d"17:13
mikkleit opens the "Distribution Upgrade" tool and starts a proper upgrade process17:13
AlexZionwell pianogmx, sorry , but I will not anyore, I tried in the past but without result .....17:13
pianogmxmikkle: cool.17:14
mikklepianogmx, thanks for you help through these rough upgrade times17:15
pianogmxmikkle: no problem.  im kinda upgrading myself right now17:16
mikkleAlexZion, sometimes shit happens when using linux where you expect it shouldn't. fortunately there's a tremendously awesome community which usually gets these things sorted out fast, with a little searching17:16
mikkleAnd a new stable Catalyst (13.4) was released today. It's like upgrade heaven.17:17
AlexZionhi mikkle I know very well , and that's why I'm using it since years, but those kind of thing shouldn't never happen, I mean is the basic ......17:17
pianogmxAlexZion is just a troll who likes to run their mouth spreading FUD about Linux... possibly doesn't even have Linux installed on their PC but rather in a virtualbox and is using Windows right now...17:18
mikkleAlexZion, they shouldn't but they do so often that I've given up expecting the ideal and complaining about it when the less-than-ideal arises17:18
AlexZionmikkle: I mean is quite useless to have the most stable system , if open your pc and click on the normal upgrade icon , the system will detroy himself  ....17:18
AlexZionyeah pianogmx you got it buddy ....... ;)17:18
mikkleAlexZion, I don't think I get you. I have to admit though, on a side, that a totally problem-free system is boring17:19
AlexZionwell , so we should build a system that has ramndom problem at any starts ...., it would be much more funny mikkle ?17:20
mikkleok I'm out...back running 13.04 :)17:20
pianogmxmikkle.... nice17:21
AlexZionanyway , I really like Kubuntu and I already said , I used it for daily work since the most unstable version of it 8.04..., but like anytime someone  here tried to say something become troll ......17:22
AlexZionpianogmx:  just for you information about a new troll, I have a kubuntu 13.04 installed on Vbox as well since the alpha1 but for testing purpose ...., and I would like to decide by myself when to Upgrade , that's why I'm so disappointed about this problem ....17:28

pianogmxwell i managed to get my lappy to 13.04 without a hitch.18:05
pianogmxatox, have you tried re-applying your theme?18:05
atoxI did, no such luck18:05
pianogmxatox, are you using the built in themes or a downloaded theme?18:06

pianogmxatox, which one?18:06
atoxOxygen + Air18:06
pianogmxhuh... i have no ideas.  might be something to do with graphic drivers rendering transparency...???18:07
pianogmxatox, what gfx card you have?18:07

manenbuIf I have 13.04 beta installed do I need to do anything special to get the final release or is it automatically updated?18:20
ahoneybunmanenbu: just run muon update manager and let it update everything for you18:30
ahoneybunpianogmx: I like them both18:30
manenbuthx18:30
pianogmxmanenbu: ahoneybun if i remember correctly, if you ran beta, you need to change a setting to make sure you get stable updates vs bleeding edge?18:31
manenbuany idea where that setting is?18:32
ahoneybunpianogmx: you mean for muon to look for normal releases over LTS?18:32

figure8carI was able to install QtCreator 2.5.2, but it is basically a single package.23:46
figure8carInstalling the 4.8.3 libraries looks to have many deps that a package manger should handle23:46
figure8carthere is a bug with the new tools that I see only with the new tool set, so I assume its in the new QT5x kit23:48
