SonikkuAmericaA Muon permissions issue?01:09
Whiskey`Wonkaahh, virtual box usb is lack of group permissions01:10
Whiskey`WonkaSonikkuAmerica: muon decided to not ask for the user password and generated a error 'operation failed due to a lack of permissions' or some such01:11
SonikkuAmericaYou /are/ in vboxusers at least, right?01:11
Whiskey`WonkaSonikkuAmerica: i posted in here about that yesterday01:11
SonikkuAmericaTry running it with kdesudo.01:11
Whiskey`WonkaSonikkuAmerica: no, my user is not, when vbox installed it failed to make that change where it does on other platforms01:11
Whiskey`WonkaSonikkuAmerica: yes runnign muon with kdesudo solves that01:11
SonikkuAmericaOther platforms... um, I had the same trouble with both Unity and XFCE01:12
Whiskey`Wonkamy convo yesterdaay was with wxl, maybe he still have the exact error01:12
Whiskey`WonkaSonikkuAmerica: i did not have that issue on 10.x or 12.x, only on 13.0401:12
SonikkuAmerica[ sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $YOURNAME ], where $YOURNAME is your username.01:12

heinkel_111Xming also works, from my putty ssh terminal I can start for example dolphin, konsole and some other programs I have tried11:34
heinkel_111how do I start a full kde client on the pc ?11:34
heinkel_111I tried startx but the message was that I did not have the right permissions11:35
heinkel_111uhm, maybe I should clarify -- I have one server running linux kubuntu11:35
heinkel_111the windows machine with putty and xming should be able to function as a thin client to the kubuntu server11:38
heinkel_111but I cannot figure out how I should start the kde desktop11:38

BluesKajn8w, it's supposed to work , but I've never tried a swap as logical12:54

georgelappieshi all, is it posibble to downgrade the kernel on 13.04?14:00
FlowRisergeorgelappies, yes it is14:01
georgelappies I have been having kernel panics in 13.04 a lot, they all seem to stem from kms_kernel_helper14:02
georgelappiesthanks FlowRiser14:02
georgelappieshow would one go about doing that?14:02
georgelappiesnever got them in 12.04 or 12.10 -> so that leads one to beleive that something in the new kernel is doing this. It happens in Ubuntu and Kubuntu14:03
georgelappiesso it is not kwin that is causing this, it must be the kernel it self14:03
FlowRisergeorgelappies, i suspect it would involve building your own kernel and chrooting into your os O.o It`s too bothersome for me14:03
BluesKajgeorgelappies, just remove the kernel , but make sure the older one works ok first14:04
BluesKajFlowRiser, not necessary to build a your own kernel14:05
georgelappiesBluesKaj: I dont have an older one, this is on a fresh install of 13.0414:06
georgelappieshow would I install an older one and test it?14:06
FlowRisergeorgelappies, you have two options, either just install 12.10 that has an older kernel or build an older version and chroot it into your os14:07
BluesKajgeorgelappies, clean install , hmm , give us some details about your problem , does your system boot for example ?14:08
georgelappiesBluesKaj: it boots and works perfectly. Kubuntu 13.04 is BEAUTIFULL!14:08
georgelappiesbut, for no reason every so often I will go to a full console black screen with the last text on it:14:09
georgelappiesKernel Panic: kms_kernel_helper14:10
BluesKajI've had kernel panics before then the next boot is ok , it can be intermittent , georgelappies14:10
georgelappiesthis happens on Ubuntu and on Kubuntu, yeah it is intermittent but bad14:10
BluesKajI have to ask , have updated/upgraded/dist-upgraded /14:11
BluesKaj?14:11
georgelappiesit means I cannot trust my machine to be unattended i.e. let it seed files etc14:11
georgelappiesit is a new clean install14:11
georgelappieswell, when the kernel panic strikes the cpu usage goes up, I can hear how the fan in the laptop start to spin up14:12
BluesKajno matter, sometimes updates/upgrades are necessary even after clean install14:12
BluesKajwhen available of course14:13
georgelappiesso if I leave my machine over night and sometime during the night the kernel panic strikes I may burn out the laptop, if it was a desktop it is a different story14:13
georgelappiesyeah, it is updated to latest14:13
FlowRiserif you can boot into your system, then maybe it will work to sudo apt-get install <kernel version> <kernel version headers>14:14
BluesKajkernel panic hits during use , that's odd ...usually happens on bootup14:14
FlowRiserthen it`ll ask for kernel version at the grub menu14:14
georgelappiesjips, during use for no reason i.e. it will do heavy stuff for long without crash but then sometimes while typing or moving mouse or just looking at the screen it will throw a panic14:15
georgelappiesthanks FlowRiser, will install14:15
georgelappiesdifferent question, what is the recommended method to start dolphin as root? using sudo dolphin creates files in users directory that root has to delete again14:17
BluesKajgeorgelappies, don't fool around with fixing a kernel this sounds very serious and I think a total reinstall is the best cure , you may spend days tracking this down14:17
BluesKajkdesudo dolphin , never use sudo with guis14:17
georgelappiesthanks BluesKaj14:18
FlowRiseryes, i agree ... never do that; you risk deleting your whole /etc folder by accident then having to reinstall *whistles away*14:18
Cigamhello all. I was wondering if anyone on here knew how to connect intel widi in kubuntu? I am downloading this firmware here, but not sure if its for making it work in linux. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3227&DwnldID=20919&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Wireless+Technologies&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+Display&lang=eng14:19
BluesKajgeorgelappies, I sugges you also download a new kubuntu image , the one you have may be corrupted14:19
CigamThe only file that I may try downloading is this file that is for win7 and win8 but I am not sure if it will work in wine or if it has to be windows in a virtualbox. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3227&DwnldID=22016&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Wireless+Technologies&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+Display&lang=eng I have thought widi worked in  linux but after more searches I can barely find wi14:21
smartboyhwCigam: What's widi? You mean wi-fi?14:22
Cigamwidi - wireless display a way to display your computer screen on a tv with the apropriate adaptor and I have a netgear push2tv connected to my tv14:23
smartboyhwCigar: Drivers never work on Wine14:23
smartboyhwSo probably not.14:23
smartboyhwYou can tru.14:23
Cigamugh.. then I guess I will have to virtual boot my win7 or win8... does anyone know if linux has a feature capable of doing it?14:24
Cigamor besides the intel widi is there something else that works similar?14:24
BluesKajwidi=wifi I assume14:25
BluesKajoh that widi ?14:26
Cigamits a separate wifi connection to transfer the display, similar to how you have a wifi connection on wireless keyboards, but this wifi transmits your computer display14:26
BluesKaj:)14:26

avihaydan_fulea: there are two clipboard systems. you can ask klipper to merge them for you:16:02
avihayright click klipper->Configure klipper->general->selection and clipboard -> Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection16:03
avihayI never tried it, so I can't say how well it works. but there should be a way to get the clipboard contents and the selection contents independently in all programs16:06

lammerixkmix allows you to set the “Mic As Center/LFE” property to “false” using the GUI.20:30
lammerixI can't get this done20:30
BluesKajalsactl store is only used to save the alsamixer settings , and save them if thy're correct20:31
lammerixIm new to linux, I didn't even tried the firs method with alsactl store20:31
lammerixis slsactl store some kind of software? if yes, how can I install it?20:32
Artakhait's a commandline program for setting alsa controls20:33
Artakha"1. run “alsactl store”" means run it on the command line20:33
BluesKajuse the konsole / terminal for the aslactrl store command20:34
lammerixtrying20:34
Artakha"2. edit /etc/asound.state. Set “Mic As Center/LFE” to “false”." /etc/asound.state is a configuration file, you'll need root priviledges for editing it20:34

lammerixokay, I got it20:52
BluesKaj , open the kmenu>computer>systemsettings>multimedia>phonon>device preference , lammerix, there should be list of a devices to choose for your default soundcard20:53
lammerixI see them20:55
BluesKajpass the cursor over them and choose the C-Media , if that's the card you want to the mic input for20:55
lammerixI chose it20:56
cplammerix: as your "recording" device?20:57
lammerixi click on recording, then on CM8738 Analog Mono, then on defaults20:57
lammerixI guess i need a restart, will be back soon.21:00
afiefhHi, I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 today, and my sound stopped working. trying to open alsamixer gives me "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory", veromix only displays a dummy output21:04
quandtumis your audio HDMI by chance?21:05
lammerixI guess restart didn't help, still can't open kmix21:08
afiefhquandtum: nope, it's a normal old 3.5mm21:09
afiefh7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller21:10
quandtumhmm, then I'm not sure.  I know the kernel in that is not working well with audio (but I think only HDMI).  The solution is to ppa the dev kernel or what I did was boot with a previous kernel, you could try that and see if it helps.21:10
BluesKajcan you see kmix in the panel system tray ?21:11
BluesKajlammerix,^21:12
afiefhBluesKaj: I have removed kmix from my panel in favor of veromix, however running kmix manually only shows a dummy device21:12
afiefhoops sorry, thought you were talking to me21:12
lammerixI really can't believe it!! it was in front of my eyes from the start!21:12
lammerixI just needed to open that mixer on panel en unmute it!21:13
BluesKajI'm fairly experienced with audio output settings and what's required to make them work , inputs not so much , however do you have the CMedia pci card enabled in the bios , lammerix21:14
lammerixanyway, I learnt few things . 1. it's not always acutally hard 2. few new commands:)21:14
BluesKajafiefh, I'm not familiar with vermix at all21:14
BluesKajer veromix21:14

lammerixthank you BluesKaj, did it.21:14
afiefhBluesKaj: it's a neat plasmoid that allows you to control volume per application. Highly recommended21:15

valoriel_r: activities are groups of pages and/or applications you often use together, for say work, programming, banking, planning a vacation, etc.23:25
valorieyou can use multiple desktops within each activity if you like23:25
l_roh23:25
l_rinteresting23:25
valoriemore sophisticated than just using multiple desktops23:25
l_rvalorie, maybe a demo on youtube can show its power23:29
valorieyes, there are some23:30
