Any help please. [01:55] anyone experience slow startup for dolphin in kubuntu 13.04? [02:01] sd [02:01] hi [02:02] Hi lier [02:04] = = [02:04] 我不会英语。。。。 [02:05] smartboyhw: T T [02:09] lier: I speak Chinese [02:09] I am Chinese (AFAIK from Hong Kong) [02:11] hi [02:11] Hello mustafa [02:12] what is this chat room about, do people talk about here? [02:12] mustafa: Kubuntu User Support [02:13] oh thanks === DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK [02:38] with Kubuntu 13.04 am I supposed to have Kscreen, or kde-workspace-randr? I've somehow screwed up my ability to use multiple monitors correctly with Kscreen. I think it started when I used Muon package manager to remove "residual configuration" that included kde-workspace-randr. [02:39] Now I've restored some function by installing randr and removing kscreen...but now im bothered with prompts when i enable to disable another monitor. === root is now known as Guest14488 [02:58] anyone experience slow startup for dolphin in kubuntu 13.04? [02:58] Trying to get some help for quite some time now. [02:59] no issues with dolphin here [02:59] actually 13.04 has been running pretty quick on my machines [03:00] ToPhEr0613: Everything is very quick except for dolphin. [03:01] I do however have an overheating issue on my laptop...threw together some parts to make a cooling platform..5 cooling fans [03:02] ToPhEr0613: The context menu for dolphin is also slow. [03:02] maybe on your system! [03:03] ToPhEr0613: Dolphin has always been speedy for me. It was fast in 12:10 [03:04] ok..not slow here...Im an ex windows user so anything thaats faster than windows is quick for me [03:04] ok...LOL [03:05] 13.04 is definately quiicker than 12.10 [03:05] Definately. That is why I can't understand dolphin's performance. [03:06] does the speed of dolphin have anything to do with devices you have connected? [03:06] Because of this I spend most time on my ubuntu unity partition. [03:07] nova_: I don't have any devices connected. [03:07] mine starts in <2 seconds [03:07] as long as it runs quick once its open ..for me thats ok i am running 9 devices on my network, I just fgured it was a bit of network lag [03:07] nova_: Mine starts in about 5 secs [03:08] about right [03:08] yeah i would suspect any devices, mounted drives, network devices..whatever needs to be listed in "Places" as soon as it opens [03:09] Before when I had 12.10 installed, it started in <2 seconds. Almost immediately [03:10] everything else running quick? might want to disable some animations and the indexing [03:13] gnome runs slow if installed on 13.04 [03:14] ToPhEr0613: Everything else runs fast. So I know its dolphin. Konqueror starts fast too. [03:16] i get the same speed for konqueror and dolphin..(initial launch takes a few seconds..Still faster than explorer) === CQ_ is now known as CQ [03:19] would starting it from a console tell you antying maybe? [03:20] I know its not the effects as I disabled everthing and its still slow. [03:20] When I start from the terminal I see this: QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap [03:23] yeah i get a few of those [03:23] YOu said you have several network devices? [03:24] nova_: No, I have no networked devices. [03:26] I would disconnect from the LAN completely and try it out [03:26] pull the plug or disable the network adapter..maybe reboot..and give it a try [03:27] one post im reading says "the cause is an useless (IMO) call to DNS service during startup process. So, the slowdown is the waiting time for DNS response. " [03:45] I had never really given KDE a shot before, but now since they've removed/disabled(however unintencional) SAMBA CREDENTIALS in UBUNTU, I'm discovering how really awesome KDE is especially for us techy folks. [03:51] fbc_, KDE is very versatile and configurable , that's why i chose it over gnome many years ago. [03:52] and it was more familiar looking to us old windows guys [03:52] It's not as bloated as I thought it was going to be. Gnome feels more sluggish than KDE does. [03:52] Yeah, it is a bit more familiar. [03:53] I started with Windows 3.1.. Whew.. Almost can't remember what it looks like. [03:54] one can bloat kde very easily if autoremove and autoclean aren't run periodically [03:55] yeah , old W 3.1 was my first experience with pcs on the job [03:57] we were a bit behind the curve technology-wise [03:57] Yeah, I can almost remember having to instal IPX, NETX for the novell servers that usd to be in fashion at the time. Connecting to BBSes on my 2400 baud modem with Telex(?), and using debug to low level format my MFM and RLL controller with debug g=c800:5. Boy those were the days. [03:58] too many short forms ...you lost me :) [04:00] yeah I tried Ubuntu...never liked gnome..and don't much care for Unity either [04:00] I'm sure there are people here that know what I'm talking about. We can't be all 15 year olds. [04:00] yeah I remember those terrible days too [04:01] didn't take long to find ljnux/kubuntu after buying a home desktop type pc after retirement and then it became my hobby [04:03] unity is probly a good desktop if one takes the time to figure out it;s quirks , but Ican't br bothered . KDE is much more straight forward [04:03] I use mine everyday for work. I love being able to do things in linux that just confound the average windows user. [04:04] * BluesKaj stares at the KB [04:04] I had someone the other day that was amazed I could connect to an Active Directory Windows share and pull all the files. hehehe [04:05] windows is more of a tool for those who don't want to involve themselves in OSs [04:05] I'm optimistic that MS will entirely destroy windows and their grasop on desktop PCs [04:05] grasp* [04:07] android is a game changer I think ...doubt we'll ever see anything from it for the desktop tho [04:07] nova_: Yeah, I believe that eventually they will deminish their market share in the personal pc market, but retain corporate marketshare. [04:09] not sure id want a pc that works like a phone [04:09] nova_: The PC marketshare will be retained by gamers and warcraft users. [04:10] yeah the gaming industry is goign to kill that though [04:10] thats called windows 8...(stay away) Thats what caused me to switch to linux completely [04:11] I stopped play wow...no one plays..you can't fill raids..the peopel that do play are SO BAD most of the time [04:11] playing** [04:11] gamesare for xbox or ps pc's do work and require knowledge [04:11] on linux? [04:12] I'm hoping Steam for linux does well [04:14] managed to get extfsd to work on W7 with read/write access [04:14] this will help you fix everything! http://nedmartin.org/v3/amused/engineering-flowchart [04:14] nova_: I stopped playing a while ago, but I'm thinking of getting back into it. My kids are starting to want to be with friends more. [04:15] nova_: Yeah steam really ticked off Richard Stallman. I really don't get his issue with it. I think more people jumping on the linux band wagon is good. [04:15] I mean access to the liinux partitions on this pc [04:16] BluesKaj: You mean EXT3/4 right? [04:17] richard stallman is about GNU, not linux as such [04:17] no EXTFSD, fbc_ o...it works with ext4 if you use the force read/write option [04:18] anyone ever hear anymore on the unix linux lawsuit??what ever happened? [04:18] ToPhEr0613, never heard a thing about that [04:19] ToPhEr0613: Nope I haven't. [04:19] ToPhEr0613: The last one I heard about ws this one: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/04/google-loses-linux-patent-lawsuit-implications-for-android.html [04:20] unix was suing linux for using unix code..is that cleared up? [04:20] ToPhEr0613: Who owns the rights to unix now? SCO? Did ATT labs sell it? [04:21] i thought it was sco [04:21]
