bigbrovarHI guys, just setup kmail for kubuntu 13.04 (clean install) and I found out after setting by office mail (based on rackspace) nothing shows in the inbox although mails in folders under the inbox are displayed but the inbox folder is completely empty08:11
bigbrovaranyone having this issue?08:11
bigbrovarThe other day I saw a blog post where the kmail devs were complaining about  kmail bad reputation among users being a best on urban legend and a myth that is different from reality.. Well its because of stuff like this that I went to thunderbird in the first place. It just works no hassle.. I should not spend my time working trying to get my mail client to do what mail client are meant to do.. display mail.. I have to just let it out before I kill someone08:15

Anubishi ! yesterday i installed the new version of kubuntu in a vm and when i entered in muon software center and selected sorted by rating i noticed that it doesn't work as expected. instead of ordering from greatest to lowest, for example, it mixed the results(eg.: in graphics section there was some app with 5 stars , then 4 1/2 stars and so on. instead of putting first the 5 stars app it displayed first the 4 stars app, then 5 star app, then 4 1/2 stars). i g09:31
ArtakhaAnubis, i dunno about that but fyi your message got cut, there's a length limit ("then 5 star app, then 4 1/2 stars). i g")09:34
Anubisohhh09:35
Anubisthe last sentence was: i guess this is a bug.09:35
Anubissorry, i forgot there is a limit for messages09:36
Artakhait's quite an obscure limit, irc clients don't tend to be able to know what the limit is and apply it to the input field09:37
noaXessha next.. have 500 pics, need to rename them but: orig name = 123_text_1.jpg, result shoud be 123.jpg.. so on renam remove pattern "_text_1"09:37
ArtakhanoaXess, pipe it to sed s/text_1//09:37
ArtakhaAnubis, hm. muon doesn't show ratings at all to me09:39
noaXessArtakha: hm.. do it wiht mv file file | sed s/_text_1//09:42
Artakhanono09:42
Artakhaecho the file name (so that the file name goes into output), pipe it through sed and save it in a var and use that09:43
noaXessyeah.. got it. i hopw ;).. try09:43
Artakhalike f2=$(echo $file |sed s/_text//)09:43
Artakhamv $file $f209:43
noaXessArtakha: simple and easy with rename: rename s/_text_1// *.*09:45
Artakhaooh, never knew of that09:45
Artakhathis is useful09:45
noaXessArtakha: found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2372719/using-sed-to-mass-rename-files check first answer09:45
noaXessArtakha: but anyway thanks.. you give me the right direction ;).. so..09:46

bla_hello09:48
bla_I have this problem with the "digital clock widget": it always displays time as UTC even though I set the time zone09:49
Artakhabla_, make sure you set the default time zone in the configuration dialog09:51
bla_I did that09:51
bla_is there a way to manually change it to UTC+209:52
bla_instead of setting it to "europe/berlin"09:53

sebastianHi, I'm on kubuntu 12.10 and kdesudo -- do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE prints "No new release found". is this ok?13:34
BluesKajsebastian, just , do-release-upgrade , why the -m desktop -f ?13:42
sebastianBluesKaj: that's the command muon is executing. do-release-upgrade without arguments also prints "No new release found"13:44
BluesKajsebastian, don't use kdesudo for one thing , sudo do-release-upgrade in the terminal is sufficient13:46
sebastianBluesKaj: just with sudo, it still says: "No new release found"13:48
Artakhasebastian, try update software sources and upgrade everything first13:50
BluesKajsebastian, check muon , make sure Normal Releases is enabled in software sources , updates tab13:52
sebastianBluesKaj: I've just checked. it is13:53
sebastianArtakha: everythink is up to date13:53

BluesKajRC530-RC730 ??   the kernel 3.5.0-28 seems right13:56
BluesKajsebastian, ^13:57
sebastianBluesKaj: an odd computer name :-)13:57
BluesKajI thought perhaps you had installed a newer kernel and that's why release-upgrade wasn't responding13:58
sebastianis it possible to print some more debug output to the terminal, when executing do-release-upgrade?13:59
BluesKajsebastian, yes in pastebin , then post the url here13:59
sebastianBluesKaj: well, atm, it is just printing "No new release found".14:00
BluesKajmuonsetting must be interfering somehow , but I seldom use it or have it installed so I'm not sure what the problem is.14:02

Specialistgenii-around: yes, but that was some time ago. only the 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrade broke things20:34
Specialistthe dist-upgrade ran out of disk space on /boot, so we completed the upgrade using apt-get dist-upgrade. atm there are no unconfigured packages left and dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a also went through without fixing things20:36
Whiskey`Wonkahmm, some kinda bug going on with muon20:44
Whiskey`Wonkaim trying to isntall virtualbox and it says 'this operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not given' but it did not ask20:45
wxlWhiskey`Wonka: you only have that problem with virtualbox or everything?20:55
Whiskey`Wonkawxl: well its the first time its happened. i will find some package to isntall and see20:56
wxlWhiskey`Wonka: try pastebinit. that's useful.20:56
wxl(and small)20:56
Whiskey`Wonkanope happens with all20:57
Whiskey`Wonkaa few days ago it was working fine, dont remember when exactly20:58
Whiskey`Wonkai can see what is going wrong, its not asking for my password, why, i have no idea.20:58
wxlif you kdesudo muon do ou have the same problem? can you install from the command line, e.g. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?21:01
wxlyou can do a quick error check with this:21:05
wxlfor f in /var/log/apt/*; do grep -i error $f; done21:05
wxlif you see something, you might want to dig into the logs and see what commands caused the problem21:05
Whiskey`Wonkaeh21:36
Whiskey`Wonkayour for f returns fatal error: Could not open /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd.21:36
Whiskey`Wonkaand nothign else21:36
onaihi everyone21:37
Whiskey`Wonkakdesudo muon does let me install21:37
onaiI am trying out the new kubuntu 13.0421:37
onaibut I cannot get it to boot in secure mode21:38
wxlfor f in /var/log/apt/*.log; do grep -i error $f; done21:40
Whiskey`Wonkaroot@Hydras:~# for f in /var/log/apt/*.log; do grep -i error $f; done fatal error: Could not open /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd. root@Hydras:~#21:41
Whiskey`Wonkai do not get why its trying to open /proc/21:42
wxlah, so that's your only error. somewhere in those logs an error was thrown because of acpi21:42
wxlwhich is straaaaaaaange21:42
Whiskey`Wonkals /var/log/apt/ history.log  history.log.1.gz  term.log  term.log.1.gz21:42
Whiskey`Wonkayea ive got ACPI issues on this laptop21:42
wxlah21:43
wxlwell it's probably irrelevant21:43
Whiskey`Wonkadamn cpu fan doesnt work in 13.1021:43
wxlgrep -i exec /usr/share/applications/kde4/muon.desktop21:43
wxldoes that give muon %i -caption "%c" ?21:43
Whiskey`WonkaExec=muon %i -caption "%c"21:44
wxlstrange that it doesn't call for privs right from the get go21:44
Whiskey`Wonkai know21:45
wxlbut it could make sense. you don't need privs to search21:45
wxli'm thinking about this from a command line sense21:45
wxli never use the gui :)21:45
Whiskey`Wonkaright but as soon as you try to apply, it wants them21:45
wxlapt-cache doesn't require sudo21:45
wxlnow that makes sense because the update && upgrade does require privs21:45
Whiskey`Wonkai wouldnt but i was told that apt-get and muon do not work together and for some time apt-get was screwing up shit21:45
wxlharumph that sounds like **** to me21:46
wxli'm running 13.10 and been only using apt with no probs21:47
Whiskey`Wonkawxl: i dunno, apt was deff creating issues back when 12.04 came out21:47
Whiskey`Wonkaa clean isntall and never touch apt, it was ok21:48
Whiskey`Wonkatouch apt, depends hells21:48
* wxl shrugs21:48
wxli've been using apt and apt only since about 11.0421:48
bazhangWhiskey`Wonka, what version of kubuntu21:48
Whiskey`Wonkabazhang: 1321:49
bazhangWhiskey`Wonka, thats not a version21:49

wxlzacarias: it appears your message was truncated. have you tried burning new cds and checking the md5 of the iso AND the md5 of the cd? have you ensured you burned at slowest speed/23:21
wxlzacarias: not sure it's relevant but look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1140727823:23
zacariaswxl: Actually, I didn't try burning new cd's nor have I checked the md5 of the iso and of the cd. But the cd's appear to be working. The computer boots from them, the splash screen with the "Kubuntu" and "Lubuntu" logo appears, but it just goes to the blank screen with the messages and then, nothing more happens. As for the thread, I think it's not quite the same problem.23:31
wxlzacarias: well, one bit difference can mean something that boots right but doesn't act right23:33
wxlzacarias: as for the thread i would at least try it.23:33
