[01:02] <rosco_y> I'm running 12.04.2 LTS, thinking of trying 12.10 (or 12.13?)  Does anyone have opinions on whether I should do a clean install, or upgrade?
[01:05] <Whiskey`Wonka> anyone running virtualbox on 13.04? im having usb issues
[01:06] <rosco_y> Whiskey`Wonka: how is 13.04 otherwise?
[01:07] <Whiskey`Wonka> rosco_y: having a muon permissions issue every so often and a toshiba cpu fan issue
[01:07] <Whiskey`Wonka> else its the same as 12.10 i wwas running
[01:09] <SonikkuAmerica> A Muon permissions issue?
[01:10] <Whiskey`Wonka> ahh, virtual box usb is lack of group permissions
[01:11] <Whiskey`Wonka> SonikkuAmerica: muon decided to not ask for the user password and generated a error 'operation failed due to a lack of permissions' or some such
[01:11] <SonikkuAmerica> You /are/ in vboxusers at least, right?
[01:11] <Whiskey`Wonka> SonikkuAmerica: i posted in here about that yesterday
[01:11] <SonikkuAmerica> Try running it with kdesudo.
[01:11] <Whiskey`Wonka> SonikkuAmerica: no, my user is not, when vbox installed it failed to make that change where it does on other platforms
[01:11] <Whiskey`Wonka> SonikkuAmerica: yes runnign muon with kdesudo solves that
[01:12] <SonikkuAmerica> Other platforms... um, I had the same trouble with both Unity and XFCE
[01:12] <Whiskey`Wonka> my convo yesterdaay was with wxl, maybe he still have the exact error
[01:12] <Whiskey`Wonka> SonikkuAmerica: i did not have that issue on 10.x or 12.x, only on 13.04
[01:12] <SonikkuAmerica> [ sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $YOURNAME ], where $YOURNAME is your username.
[01:13] <SonikkuAmerica> *if you didn't already
[01:13] <SonikkuAmerica> It seems to be the only solution thus far.
[01:15] <Whiskey`Wonka> SonikkuAmerica: a reboot solved it for me
[01:15] <SonikkuAmerica> *shrugs* Que funciona, funciona.
[01:16] <Whiskey`Wonka> if it comes back i will try that
[01:16] <SonikkuAmerica> (That [which] works, works,
[01:16] <SonikkuAmerica> )
[01:16] <SonikkuAmerica> *.)
[01:16] <Whiskey`Wonka> SonikkuAmerica: yes i know
[01:18] <rosco_y> Whiskey`Wonka: ty.  I've been running LTS, but lately having a problem with kworker hogging the cpu, so I'm thinking of trying something else for awhile.....
[01:19] <Whiskey`Wonka> rosco_y: well all my issues (other then the cpu fan) have been solved. virtualbox is a failure of the package to add my user to the vboxusers group
[01:19] <Whiskey`Wonka> the fan issues /does/ upset me as it works find with the live cd and with 12.10 where i came from
[01:45] <bigbrovar> Is anyone having this issue with kmail https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284172 where the inbox is empty but not the sunflowers under it
[03:19] <ek> Can someone here please assist me in getting my wireless device unlocked from RF-Kill?
[03:19] <ek> I've tried everything I can possibly find in the forums and such and nothing has worked.
[03:21] <ek> I thought maybe installing backports of the driver would help, but during installation the wifi card worked fine.
[03:21] <ek> It just seems to be permanently locked now...
[03:24] <DouglasK> Quassel IRC client lets you have a monitor pane that monitors traffic from all channels that you're in.  Is it possible to do this with Konversation too?
[03:35] <fbc_> Does anyone know of a bug with Dolphin that causes the SPLIT button to take forever.
[04:33] <rd13812> i get random freezes on kubuntu 13.04 any body can help me?
[04:36] <valorie> rd13812: you might run htop, and see what is causing the freezes for you
[04:37] <rd13812> no its complete freezes  when even harddrive stops
[04:38] <valorie> ok, but with htop you can see what is taking up more and more of your memory, or whatever is causing it
[04:39]  * valorie has no freezes
[04:39] <valorie> is it a power problem?
[04:39] <valorie> power supply?
[04:39] <valorie> bad hard drive?
[04:40] <valorie> etc.
[04:42] <goodtime> someone could have forked bombed you rd13812
[04:43] <rd13812> what is that?
[04:43] <goodtime> it happened to me once
[04:43] <rd13812> i use windows also with no problem
[04:43] <goodtime> its a simple command that freezes your pc
[04:43] <goodtime> yeah its for windows lol
[04:44] <goodtime> once they have your ip its all over and easy todo
[04:44] <valorie> anyway, "random freezes" can't be solved by us
[04:44] <goodtime> works on any os realy
[04:44] <goodtime> even linux
[04:44] <valorie> you need to get more information to figure out what is happening
[04:45] <goodtime> wiki fork bomb if you can
[04:45] <rd13812> i dont see anything happening in logs before freezing
[04:45] <goodtime> yeah sound like it
[04:46] <goodtime> try changeing your ip
[04:46] <goodtime> then reboot
[04:48] <rd13812> my ip is not static and i have changed it but still i get freezes
[04:48] <goodtime> hmmm its another issue then good
[04:49] <goodtime> fork bombs are bad news
[04:53] <rd13812> another question while i am here: why dolphin show my filename with not english  character wrong but nautilus shows them right
[05:36] <everest> !list
[07:50] <Doyle> Hey. Just upgraded to 13. The Display and Monitor panel is blank. What can I do to fix it
[08:12] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:53] <bushmann> hi, has anyone of you ever experienced the following error when trying to launch pulseaudio?
[10:53] <bushmann> pulseaudio: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpulsecore-3.0.so: undefined symbol: orc_program_new_from_static_bytecode
[11:32] <heinkel_111> hi
[11:32] <heinkel_111> I have installed puTTy and Xming on my windows 8 machine
[11:33] <heinkel_111> putty works fine, I have set up login with private key and so on
[11:34] <heinkel_111> Xming also works, from my putty ssh terminal I can start for example dolphin, konsole and some other programs I have tried
[11:34] <heinkel_111> how do I start a full kde client on the pc ?
[11:35] <heinkel_111> I tried startx but the message was that I did not have the right permissions
[11:35] <heinkel_111> uhm, maybe I should clarify -- I have one server running linux kubuntu
[11:38] <heinkel_111> the windows machine with putty and xming should be able to function as a thin client to the kubuntu server
[11:38] <heinkel_111> but I cannot figure out how I should start the kde desktop
[11:40] <BluesKaj> HI all
[11:40] <heinkel_111> by the way, libreoffice applications seem to work a lot better this way than the kde applications this way
[11:40] <heinkel_111> but that is just a note
[11:53] <heinkel_111> Floodbots are flooding my display
[11:58] <BluesKaj> heinkel_111, yeah , too many ppl with poor connections
[12:44] <n8w> hey
[12:45] <n8w> im tryin to install kubuntu 13.04 but everytime when i try to create swap partition in the manual mode..the setup fails with > the attempt to mount a file system with type swap in...
[12:45] <n8w> at none failed
[12:49] <BluesKaj> n8w, how many primary partitions do have on the drive , 4 primaries is the maximum
[12:49] <BluesKaj> swaps are primary
[12:49] <n8w> BluesKaj: 1 primary(w7) the rest of them r logical
[12:51] <n8w> BluesKaj: so im tryin to install kubuntu /,/home and swap on the logical partitions...anythn wrong with it?
[12:54] <BluesKaj> n8w, it's supposed to work , but I've never tried a swap as logical
[12:56] <BluesKaj> didn't think extended partitions allowed a swap , but you can always create a swap file within your OS and they work fine
[13:28] <Cenbe> Holy cow, what's with the FloodBot?
[13:28] <Cenbe> Fresh install of Kubuntu 13.04; Dolphin starts up painfully slowly (a minute or more). How can I diagnose this? The rest of the system seems fine.
[13:30] <BluesKaj> !ops , flodbots are going crazy here
[13:32] <smartboyhw> !ops | The FloodBotK bots are getting crazy
[13:32] <smartboyhw> BluesKaj: ^
[13:32] <coz_> heu guys, anyone know where the krita splash screen is located? I need to change that darn thing :)
[13:33] <BluesKaj> smartboyhw, yeah , i forgot the |
[13:48] <FlowRiser> hey guys, do you know any nice HTML ide that plays nicely with kubuntu ?
[13:48] <Pici> kate?
[13:49] <FlowRiser> I`m looking for some kind of a WSYG editor too, i`d like to see in real time what I do
[13:52] <arulmagi> hello there
[13:52] <FlowRiser> arulmagi, hi there
[14:00] <georgelappies> hi all, is it posibble to downgrade the kernel on 13.04?
[14:01] <FlowRiser> georgelappies, yes it is
[14:02] <georgelappies>  I have been having kernel panics in 13.04 a lot, they all seem to stem from kms_kernel_helper
[14:02] <georgelappies> thanks FlowRiser
[14:02] <georgelappies> how would one go about doing that?
[14:03] <georgelappies> never 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 Kubuntu
[14:03] <georgelappies> so it is not kwin that is causing this, it must be the kernel it self
[14:03] <FlowRiser> georgelappies, i suspect it would involve building your own kernel and chrooting into your os O.o It`s too bothersome for me
[14:04] <BluesKaj> georgelappies, just remove the kernel , but make sure the older one works ok first
[14:05] <BluesKaj> FlowRiser, not necessary to build a your own kernel
[14:06] <georgelappies> BluesKaj: I dont have an older one, this is on a fresh install of 13.04
[14:06] <georgelappies> how would I install an older one and test it?
[14:07] <FlowRiser> georgelappies, you have two options, either just install 12.10 that has an older kernel or build an older version and chroot it into your os
[14:08] <BluesKaj> georgelappies, clean install , hmm , give us some details about your problem , does your system boot for example ?
[14:08] <georgelappies> BluesKaj: it boots and works perfectly. Kubuntu 13.04 is BEAUTIFULL!
[14:09] <georgelappies> but, for no reason every so often I will go to a full console black screen with the last text on it:
[14:10] <georgelappies> Kernel Panic: kms_kernel_helper
[14:10] <BluesKaj> I've had kernel panics before then the next boot is ok , it can be intermittent , georgelappies
[14:10] <georgelappies> this happens on Ubuntu and on Kubuntu, yeah it is intermittent but bad
[14:11] <BluesKaj> I have to ask , have updated/upgraded/dist-upgraded /
[14:11] <BluesKaj> ?
[14:11] <georgelappies> it means I cannot trust my machine to be unattended i.e. let it seed files etc
[14:11] <georgelappies> it is a new clean install
[14:12] <georgelappies> well, when the kernel panic strikes the cpu usage goes up, I can hear how the fan in the laptop start to spin up
[14:12] <BluesKaj> no matter, sometimes updates/upgrades are necessary even after clean install
[14:13] <BluesKaj> when available of course
[14:13] <georgelappies> so 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 story
[14:13] <georgelappies> yeah, it is updated to latest
[14:14] <FlowRiser> if you can boot into your system, then maybe it will work to sudo apt-get install <kernel version> <kernel version headers>
[14:14] <BluesKaj> kernel panic hits during use , that's odd ...usually happens on bootup
[14:14] <FlowRiser> then it`ll ask for kernel version at the grub menu
[14:15] <georgelappies> jips, 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 panic
[14:15] <georgelappies> thanks FlowRiser, will install
[14:17] <georgelappies> different question, what is the recommended method to start dolphin as root? using sudo dolphin creates files in users directory that root has to delete again
[14:17] <BluesKaj> georgelappies, 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 down
[14:17] <BluesKaj> kdesudo dolphin , never use sudo with guis
[14:18] <georgelappies> thanks BluesKaj
[14:18] <FlowRiser> yes, i agree ... never do that; you risk deleting your whole /etc folder by accident then having to reinstall *whistles away*
[14:19] <Cigam> hello 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=eng
[14:19] <BluesKaj> georgelappies, I sugges you also download a new kubuntu image , the one you have may be corrupted
[14:21] <Cigam> The 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 wi
[14:22] <smartboyhw> Cigam: What's widi? You mean wi-fi?
[14:23] <Cigam> widi - 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 tv
[14:23] <smartboyhw> Cigar: Drivers never work on Wine
[14:23] <smartboyhw> So probably not.
[14:23] <smartboyhw> You can tru.
[14:24] <Cigam> ugh.. 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] <Cigam> or besides the intel widi is there something else that works similar?
[14:25] <BluesKaj> widi=wifi I assume
[14:26] <BluesKaj> oh that widi ?
[14:26] <Cigam> its 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 display
[14:26] <BluesKaj> :)
[14:49] <dan_fulea> hi, please help me with the pasting tool, i am editing in emacs, shell (maxima, sage, pari/gp), sublime-text and konsole, firefox, and there is a huge chance that a copy does not paste... is there any chance to ensure that the last item in that scissors icon is also pasting?!
[14:49] <dan_fulea> (this is a main point for moving to something else, where there is no copy+pasting chaos)
[15:28] <ed986787678> plase help, how to I set the default kubuntu  openvpn client to reconnect after it disconnects? no I dont want to connect automatically when kubuntu starts only when connected manually in case internet goes down
[15:28] <ed986787678> ?
[15:53] <dan_fulea> hi, please help me with the pasting tool, i am editing in emacs, shell (maxima, sage, pari/gp), sublime-text and konsole, firefox, and there is a huge chance that a copy does not paste... is there any chance to ensure that the last item in that scissors icon is also pasting?!
[15:55] <dan_fulea> it is clipper, or klipper, or something like this, i get mad while copying with Control+C or Shift+... from one terminal, then going to the hidden lower bar, getting the Klipper-Clippboard tool to show up, going to the most upper entry, hitting it, then going to emacs and yanking it
[15:56] <n8w> hey
[15:56] <dan_fulea> any text editing user around here?
[15:57] <n8w> i have made a list of installed software as dpkg --get-selection > list, but when i try to tun dpkg --set-selection < list i get : dpkg: warning: package not in database at line 1057 for all appz in the list
[15:58] <n8w> ok perhaps i should mention that the list has been created on kubuntu 12.10 and bein restored in kubuntu 13.04
[16:02] <avihay> dan_fulea: there are two clipboard systems. you can ask klipper to merge them for you:
[16:03] <avihay> right click klipper->Configure klipper->general->selection and clipboard -> Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection
[16:06] <avihay> I 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 programs
[16:12] <avihay> It also sounds like there's an issue with your workflow
[16:23] <ToPhEr0613> .
[16:56] <casa> Buenas
[16:57] <casa> Quisiera saber si ya arreglaron el Bug con el splash plymouth del kubuntu 13.04 ?, porfavor
[16:59] <BluesKaj> !es |casa
[17:03] <casa> Gracias BluesKaj :D
[17:04] <BluesKaj> da nada , casa
[17:04] <BluesKaj> err de nada
[17:12] <aleval> ciao
[17:55] <rd1381>  why dolphin show my filename with not english  character wrong but nautilus shows them right
[17:57] <dan_fulea> avihay :: thank you a lot ! this works now for me as i expected and saves my life! The help is highly appreciated! (Maybe one should install the clipper with the synchronized default of the two. It was the only reason i would have installed something else on the HD 6m ago. For me it is no need of two clipper spaces.)
[18:01] <Walex2> rd1381: perhaps different locales/regionalization settings?
[18:01] <Walex2> rd1381: check on the command line with 'locale' and in KDE in 'system settings>Common appearance>locale'
[18:05] <veryhappy> hey guys, got a problem while trying to setup kmail, i assume it's a bug, but i'm not sure what i've done that it always shows the same error, it says: KMail - Timeout trying to get lock, any ideas?
[18:06] <Walex2> veryhappy: perhaps there was a crash previously
[18:08] <rd1381> Walex2	: my country in use is iran
[18:08] <rd1381> but language seeting in us
[18:09] <Walex2> rd1381: but in both? And what is the encoding?
[18:09] <rd1381> ?
[18:09] <veryhappy> Walex2: nope dude, was setting it up for the first time, then it actually can't already complain... btw: kmail 4.8.5 on Kubuntu 12.04 Kernel 3.2.0-41-generic amd64
[18:09] <rd1381> encoding off what?>
[18:09] <Walex2> rd1381: also, in which filesystem are you looking for those filenames
[18:09] <rd1381> i mount with utf8 the ntfs drive
[18:09] <Walex2> rd1381: encoding: UTF-8 for example.
[18:09] <Walex2> rd1381: ahhhh
[18:10] <Walex2> rd1381: the NTFS drive is not necessarily in UTF-8 then, or your environment then is not in UTF-8.
[18:10] <rd1381> i dont think its mount error options because asi said nautilus shows it right
[18:10] <Walex2> rd1381: what happens in a command line?
[18:11] <rd1381> LANG=en_US.UTF8
[18:11] <rd1381> LANGUAGE=
[18:11] <rd1381> LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF8"
[18:11] <rd1381> LC_NUMERIC=en_US
[18:11] <FloodBotK1> rd1381: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:11] <rd1381> LC_TIME=fa_IR
[18:11] <Walex2> rd1381: I was asking whether using 'ls' from the command line shows you the filenames as you would like them
[18:12] <rd1381> ls shows it right
[18:12] <rd1381> even though terminal is not a very goot rtl emulator
[18:12] <rd1381> but the filename is in rssian
[18:13] <rd1381> Тройняшки
[18:13] <Walex2> rd1381: BTW there is no standard for encodings on IRC, but I use UTF-8 :-)
[18:13] <veryhappy> rd1381 Troinzashki?
[18:14] <rd1381> ls shows the filename right
[18:14] <veryhappy> sorry y was supposed to be y
[18:14] <veryhappy> not z
[18:14] <veryhappy> Troinyashki
[18:14] <rd1381> though filename is in russian and not a rtl language dolphin shows it wrong
[18:14] <Walex2> rd1381: in what way Dolphin shows it wrong? missing characters? characters as rectangles?
[18:15] <rd1381> Тройняшки: this is the correct one
[18:15] <georgelappies> mmm, is there no way to rollback the qtcreator version on 13.04 to the one using qt4? this Qt5 one still needs a lot of integration into kde
[18:15] <Walex2> rd1381: in general "wrong" is not a very useful description :-)
[18:16] <rd1381> oh
[18:16] <rd1381> never mind
[18:16] <rd1381> its seems to have been fixed
[18:17] <rd1381> i didnt check it after the last restart
[18:18] <veryhappy> problems don't fix themselves automatically you should check where the error was
[18:19] <rd1381> i think it had to do with this
[18:19] <rd1381> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636251/
[18:21] <rd1381> and the fact that i changed locale from kde and it affected gtk apps somehow ( smplayer would open rtl) and then in fixing that i somehow messed it up (by editing/etc/default/locale) though i expected better from ubuntu
[18:21] <rd1381> i would update locale and in next restart it would be gone again
[18:22] <rd1381> i dont remember exactly what i did but its fixed thank God
[18:36] <veryhappy> rd1381: nice you could fix it
[18:36] <rd1381> thank you
[18:36] <veryhappy> can someone tell me the name of the program that is connected to the calendar located in the clock that's built in into the kde bar?
[18:52] <veryhappy> ok thanks gotta go
[20:23] <lammerix> hello everyone
[20:23] <lammerix> I need some help with kmix
[20:24] <lammerix> is there someone who can help me?
[20:24] <lammerix> cooome on
[20:25] <lammerix> at least tell me where do i find help?
[20:25] <lammerix> i guess im invisible
[20:26] <lammerix> was kann man dazu sagen........
[20:26] <BluesKaj> you've been here for 2 mins ..have some patience , lammerix
[20:27] <lammerix> do you think waiting will bring some results?
[20:28] <BluesKaj> most of the time it does
[20:28] <BluesKaj> now what's happening with kmix ?
[20:29] <lammerix> I cant get my mic working. I found a solution, but can't implement
[20:29] <lammerix> can I paste a link here?
[20:29] <BluesKaj> no more than 3 lines
[20:29] <lammerix> http://lemire.me/blog/archives/2005/09/30/if-you-cant-record-using-a-microphone-on-the-cmi8738-card-under-linux/
[20:29] <BluesKaj>  alink works , yes
[20:30] <lammerix> kmix allows you to set the “Mic As Center/LFE” property to “false” using the GUI.
[20:30] <lammerix> I can't get this done
[20:31] <BluesKaj> alsactl store is only used to save the alsamixer settings , and save them if thy're correct
[20:31] <lammerix> Im new to linux, I didn't even tried the firs method with alsactl store
[20:32] <lammerix> is slsactl store some kind of software? if yes, how can I install it?
[20:33] <Artakha> it's a commandline program for setting alsa controls
[20:33] <Artakha> "1. run “alsactl store”" means run it on the command line
[20:34] <BluesKaj> use the konsole / terminal for the aslactrl store command
[20:34] <lammerix> trying
[20:34] <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 it
[20:35] <BluesKaj> but if you don't have alsmixer setup correctly that command won't help
[20:35] <BluesKaj> asound is no longer used
[20:37] <lammerix> and what is used now?
[20:37] <lammerix> Artakha, im trying to do that now
[20:38] <lammerix> ~$ edit/etc/asound.state. Set "Mic as Center/LFE" to "false"
[20:38] <lammerix> bash: edit/etc/asound.state.: No such file or directory
[20:38] <lammerix> sorry, wrong info
[20:38] <lammerix> lammerix@lammerix-desktop:~$ sudo alsactl store
[20:38] <lammerix> Home directory /home/lammerix not ours.
[20:41] <BluesKaj> lammerix, do you know about alsamixer ?, open it in the terminal by typing alsamixer , then use F4 to bring up the capture ctrls
[20:42] <lammerix> yeah, i guess asound didn't work, trying alsamixer
[20:42] <BluesKaj> raise the volume with the arrow keys and UNmute with M key
[20:42] <lammerix> root@lammerix-desktop:/home/lammerix# alsamixer
[20:42] <lammerix> cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[20:42] <BluesKaj> alsamixer
[20:43] <lammerix> should I write that into terminal without anything else?
[20:44] <BluesKaj> ok to install alsamixer , sudo apt-get install alsabase alsa-utils , in the terminal
[20:44] <BluesKaj> oops alsa-base
[20:45] <lammerix> E: Unable to locate package alsabase
[20:45] <BluesKaj> lammerix,^
[20:45] <lordievader> Good evening.
[20:45] <BluesKaj> put hyphen in between lammerix , sorry my mistake
[20:46] <BluesKaj> hey lordievader
[20:47] <lammerix> alsa-base is already the newest version.
[20:47] <lordievader> How are you doing, BluesKaj?
[20:47] <lammerix> he's not doing so well, it's hard with linux dummies
[20:48] <lammerix> so I have alsa-base installed, but can't open alsamixer
[20:48] <BluesKaj> ok , it's been along day here ...between running around for wife  setting stuff up in the back yard
[20:49] <BluesKaj> ok what does aplay -l output in the terminal, pastebin the output
[20:50] <lammerix> **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

[20:50] <lammerix>   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[20:52] <lordievader> !paste| lammerix
[20:52] <lammerix> okay, I got it
[20:53] <BluesKaj>  , open the kmenu>computer>systemsettings>multimedia>phonon>device preference , lammerix, there should be list of a devices to choose for your default soundcard
[20:55] <lammerix> I see them
[20:55] <BluesKaj> pass the cursor over them and choose the C-Media , if that's the card you want to the mic input for
[20:56] <lammerix> I chose it
[20:57] <cp> lammerix: as your "recording" device?
[20:57] <lammerix> i click on recording, then on CM8738 Analog Mono, then on defaults
[21:00] <lammerix> I guess i need a restart, will be back soon.
[21:04] <afiefh> Hi, 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 output
[21:05] <quandtum> is your audio HDMI by chance?
[21:08] <lammerix> I guess restart didn't help, still can't open kmix
[21:09] <afiefh> quandtum: nope, it's a normal old 3.5mm
[21:10] <afiefh> 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller
[21:10] <quandtum> hmm, 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.
[21:11] <BluesKaj> can you see kmix in the panel system tray ?
[21:12] <BluesKaj> lammerix,^
[21:12] <afiefh> BluesKaj: I have removed kmix from my panel in favor of veromix, however running kmix manually only shows a dummy device
[21:12] <afiefh> oops sorry, thought you were talking to me
[21:12] <lammerix> I really can't believe it!! it was in front of my eyes from the start!
[21:13] <lammerix> I just needed to open that mixer on panel en unmute it!
[21:14] <BluesKaj> I'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 , lammerix
[21:14] <lammerix> anyway, I learnt few things . 1. it's not always acutally hard 2. few new commands:)
[21:14] <BluesKaj> afiefh, I'm not familiar with vermix at all
[21:14] <BluesKaj> er veromix
[21:14] <cp> lammerix: When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.  ~~ Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four Mistakes are always initial. ~
[21:14] <lammerix> thank you BluesKaj, did it.
[21:15] <afiefh> BluesKaj: it's a neat plasmoid that allows you to control volume per application. Highly recommended
[21:15] <lammerix> cp do you watch Scherlock on bbc?
[21:15] <BluesKaj> well i would if I needed it afiefh
[21:15] <cp> lammerix: nope :), I mean I could, I just don't :)
[21:15] <afiefh> sorry
[21:16] <lammerix> it's not that bad:)
[21:16] <BluesKaj> lammerix, so your mic is working now ?
[21:16] <lammerix> it does, thank you
[21:16] <BluesKaj> cool
[21:17] <lammerix> okay, now it my turn to help someone else:) see you later
[21:17] <BluesKaj> lkater :)
[21:19] <BluesKaj> ok that's it for today ...later
[23:01] <l_r> hello
[23:01] <l_r> someone must explain me what an activity is in kde? i have three lights next to the K menu
[23:25] <valorie> l_r: activities are groups of pages and/or applications you often use together, for say work, programming, banking, planning a vacation, etc.
[23:25] <valorie> you can use multiple desktops within each activity if you like
[23:25] <l_r> oh
[23:25] <l_r> interesting
[23:25] <valorie> more sophisticated than just using multiple desktops
[23:29] <l_r> valorie, maybe a demo on youtube can show its power
[23:30] <valorie> yes, there are some
[23:31] <valorie> I'm sure a search of KDE Activities will show them
[23:31] <valorie> there is a kde channel as well, I think
