[04:16] <ashes> hello
[04:16] <ashes> i replaced windows with kubuntu on my sister's laptop, and she is basically happy with it
[04:17] <ashes> she is asking questions about setup that she would ask even if she was running windows
[04:17] <ashes> like making desktop shortcuts to firefox for facebook
[04:18] <ashes> she is a perfect candidate for apple. she just wants it to work
[04:18] <ashes> kubuntu is working for her
[04:18] <ashes> with my help
[04:19] <ashes> i run fvwm2 on openbsd, on my laptop, so i have to think of things differently with kubuntu
[04:20] <ashes> i can't expect my sister to run what i run, because upgrading packages for my laptop is not common sense stuff
[04:21] <ashes> her previous installation of windows7 was unusable, perhaps infected by malware
[04:21] <ashes> it got to the point that she said her laptop "didn't work"
[04:22] <ashes> and that was what i needed to install linux. she was at the point of being willing to learn a new desktop environment to save her hardware
[04:22] <ashes> now her laptop works well
[04:23] <ashes> but i am needed to install stuff
[04:24] <ashes> she tried installing .exe files yesterday, and i explained that the kubuntu app store was the only place she should install from
[06:57] <soee> any idea how can i make Thunderbird to send notification to my message indicator when T is not opened ?
[07:38] <oye> Hi. Yesterday I got Kubuntu installed in my laptop, thanks to Wubi. Everything went fine, the system is running smooth and sweet and nice. Now, my problem is that I can't boot back into Windows. I mean, everything goes fine, Grub loads, I select to boot Windows, and afterwards, nothing happens. It just gets stuck into a black screen. Any clues?
[10:02] <switch> so using kubuntu 13.04 on my gf netbook is ok, but using on my amd quad core machine is less than deserable
[10:02] <switch> how do update to a newer kernel than what is offered with distro
[10:04] <ozcanesen> hey guys is there any built-in command line utility to play sound in kubuntu like /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play?
[10:16] <spartanfx803> good morning
[10:19] <spartanfx803> How can i open a window showing all channels in a server using quassel?
[10:29] <oye> spartanfx803: /list doesn't work?
[11:09] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:20] <nick_omega> before i give up on the 13.04 installer that crashed twice just after starting to copy files over and install kubuntu 12 again, can anyone tell me if there's some sort of failsafe installer i could get into and try, and if it's worth a shot in your opinion
[11:20] <nick_omega> in my particular situation
[11:21] <BluesKaj> what OS are you on atm . nick_omega ?
[11:21] <nick_omega> BluesKaj, what?
[11:21] <nick_omega> BluesKaj, its not an installation from another os
[11:21] <nick_omega> BluesKaj, its a boot from the disk
[11:22] <nick_omega> BluesKaj, you are thinking i am installing it from windows or something i think but that is not the case
[11:23] <BluesKaj> nick_omega, there's a net install one can do to upgrade from an existing version , as an alternative , a method I had to use to install 13.04 beta
[11:24] <nick_omega> BluesKaj, yes thats my plan b
[11:24] <BluesKaj> I had to install 12.10 then do a net upgrade to 13.04
[11:24] <nick_omega> i hope i can net upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04
[11:25] <BluesKaj> nick_omega, no you have to go 12.04>12.10>13.04
[11:32] <BluesKaj> nick_omega, burn a 12,10 iso ,install it , then upgrade to 13.04 from there
[11:33] <nick_omega> BluesKaj, how much better is that then the two net installs - kinda limited on time atm
[11:33] <nick_omega> upgrades*
[11:34] <BluesKaj> 2 net upgrades will take a lot longer in most cases unless you have a really fast internet connection
[11:34] <nick_omega> BluesKaj, ok good to know
[12:36] <BluesKaj> !sudo

[14:49] <SonikkuAmerica> (Hello!)
[14:49] <lordievader> Hey SonikkuAmerica, how are you?
[14:49] <SonikkuAmerica> Just fine; you?
[14:51] <lordievader> Doing good too :)
[15:41] <nick_omega1> running tasksel in kubuntu 12.04 to install lamp.  says "the k desktop manager (kdm) daemon is typically stopped on page update and removal, but it appears to be managing at least one running X session ... Stop the kdm daemon? <yes> <no>"  i said yes last time but had big problems and ended up reinstalling, however, it was installing things at that time, but is not now.  what do you expect will happen with <no>
[15:42] <nick_omega1> ended up reinstalling kubuntu*
[15:45] <oye> Nothing.
[16:01] <nick_omega1> that wasn't good either.  enough with tasksel
[16:15] <guile_> hello all
[16:15] <guile_> loonking for some good skills in linux
[16:15] <guile_> feeling that here there isnt some
[16:15] <guile_> but up to you
 My system is up to date, but it's still Precise. How can I turn it into Quantal ? change your /etc/apt/source.list with quantal, this will do the trick
[16:21] <Tm_T> tintamar: you're looking for what in here?
[16:21] <tintamar> type vi /etc/apt/source.list, then type "escape" ':' "%s" and so on, or do it the hard way and substitute alllllll with your fingers
[16:22] <BluesKaj> tintamar, you can do , sudo do-release-upgrade , to upgrade via the 'net , but make sure update and upgrade you present system first and disable any ppas for safety's sake
[16:22] <Tm_T> BluesKaj: he's not asking nor he isn't really answering either
[16:23] <BluesKaj> yeah , I realized that too late ...he's giving advice :)
[16:23] <BluesKaj> Tm_T, ^
[16:24] <Tm_T> BluesKaj: bad one /:
[16:24] <BluesKaj> maybe he's in the wrong troll chat :)
[16:25] <BluesKaj> ok ...BBL
[17:16] <tintamar> hallo
[17:16] <tintamar> ,
[17:25] <lordievader> Hey tintamar, how are you

[18:00] <kinglaaa> Hi. Anyone else in here encountering problems with tearing on Kubuntu 13.04 using Intel/Nvidia hybrid graphics?
[18:11] <BluesKaj> !crosspost | kinglaaa
[18:11] <kinglaaa> ok sorry
[18:42] <alesan> hi
[18:42] <alesan> is there any info on how to install *Adobe* Acrobat reader?
[18:49] <SonikkuAmerica> alesan: I think it's in Winetricks
[18:50] <SonikkuAmerica> !crosspost | alesan
[18:50] <alesan> are you kidding me?
[18:50] <alesan> adobe reader is in the partner repository
[18:51] <alesan> why do you give wrong advice?
[18:51] <SonikkuAmerica> I didn't. Besides, if it's in partners and you have it enabled, why isn't it in USC?
[18:53] <alesan> USC?
[18:53] <SonikkuAmerica> Ubuntu Software Center
[18:53] <alesan> I use muon, I do not know USC
[18:56] <SonikkuAmerica> Muon Software Center should have the same stuff

[19:25] <thelonelyghost> I have a problem with the KDE clock widget not honoring my timezone. Google hasn't helped except for legacy issues that are no longer relevant.
[19:26] <thelonelyghost> Sidenote: 13.04 Kubuntu
[19:26] <SonikkuAmerica> thelonelyghost: You have to drop your /etc/localtime (with sudo of course) and symlink it to your time zine
[19:26] <SonikkuAmerica> s/zine/zone
[19:28] <thelonelyghost> SonikkuAmerica: drop my /etc/localtime? do you mean remove it?
[19:28] <SonikkuAmerica> thelonelyghost: Yes
[19:34] <thelonelyghost> SonikkuAmerica: still showing up as UTC despite symlinking
[19:34] <Avihay> d'you log out/in?
[19:34]  * thelonelyghost headdesk
[19:34] <thelonelyghost> Lemme try that.
[19:34] <Avihay> sec
[19:35] <Avihay> ...
[19:37] <Avihay> tintamar:  I wanted to suggest you just do it via the gui
[19:37] <SonikkuAmerica> thelonelyghost: Did it works?
[19:38] <SonikkuAmerica> *work
[19:38] <thelonelyghost> SonikkuAmerica: nope. still the same issue
[19:38] <Avihay> thelonelyghost: ^^^
[19:38] <Avihay> thelonelyghost: I wanted to suggest you just do it via the gui
[19:39] <Avihay> right click clock, select "Adjust date and time"
[19:39] <Avihay> go to the time-zone tab
[19:39] <Avihay> $$$
[19:39] <Avihay> sorry tint-amar
[19:39] <thelonelyghost> yep, done and set both UTC and New York just to be sure. Scrolled down and New York is set the same time as UTC?
[19:40] <thelonelyghost> current time zone in the time zone tab you referenced is "America/New_York"
[19:40] <Avihay> no
[19:40] <thelonelyghost> Er, "America/New York (EDT)"
[19:41] <Avihay> uhh, it depends on what you picked during setup, I live in a different country
[19:42] <thelonelyghost> I also ran 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' and set it to my timezone. no dice.
[19:46] <thelonelyghost> huh.
[19:46] <thelonelyghost> it just switched over.
[19:47] <thelonelyghost> just ran dpkg-reconfigure tzdata again and it reset itself. not sure why.
[19:47] <thelonelyghost> I'm not complaining!
[19:47] <thelonelyghost> Thanks Avihay and SonikkuAmerica!
[19:48] <SonikkuAmerica> You're welcome!
[22:10] <rosco_y> how do I add the multiverse software source?
[22:10] <SonikkuAmerica> rosco_y: It's in [ software-properties-kde ]
[22:11] <SonikkuAmerica> rosco_y: Excuse me; not there, in [ muon ]
[22:11] <rosco_y> SonikkuAmerica: ty.  Is that a command-line program?
[22:11] <rosco_y> ok, I have the dialog open from Muon->Settings->configure sources.  I'm just not seeing the "multiverse" option
[22:12] <SonikkuAmerica> There should be 4 types: Main, Restricted, Universe, and Multiverse.
[22:13] <rosco_y> Your right (of course), I wasn't reading the whole thing--xcuse me
[22:13] <rosco_y> my browsers are suddenly complaining that I need to upgrade my flash player
[22:13] <rosco_y> apt-get tells me I'm using the latest.
[22:14] <SonikkuAmerica> [ sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-installer ]?
[22:14] <SonikkuAmerica> Are you using Rekonq?
[22:15] <rosco_y> Firefox and chromium
[22:15] <rosco_y> I don't really care for Rekonq....
[22:15] <rosco_y> maybe I'm missing something there
[22:15] <SonikkuAmerica> Reinstall it then, and reboot (or log out/in) when you're done.
[22:15] <rosco_y> flash player?
[22:16] <rosco_y> download the executeable installer, boot to command-line, install?
[22:16] <rosco_y> I've done that in the past...oh, I think that route also requires kernal sources and a recompile.
[22:16] <rosco_y> maybe I'm thinking of suse
[22:17] <rosco_y> oh, use an option in apt-get to force a reinstall?
[22:17] <rosco_y> I tried apt-get and it didn't do anything because "I have the latest"
[22:17] <SonikkuAmerica> [ sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer ]
[22:18] <SonikkuAmerica> rosco_y: ^
[22:18] <rosco_y> I'll try the force option, I believe I noticed that at one time or another--thanks SonikkuAmerica!
[22:18] <SonikkuAmerica> yw
[22:21] <rosco_y> removing and reinstalling
[22:22] <rosco_y> shoot, this is another one of *those* days
[22:22] <rosco_y> can't even uninstall and reinstall
[22:25] <rosco_y> ok, seems I've got it worked out in Synaptic....reboot :)
[22:25] <rosco_y> ty again :)
