| rosco_y | does anyone know how to read kindle books on my kubuntu desktop? | 05:26 |
| valorie | rosco_y: have you tried Calibre? | 05:28 |
| valorie | !calibre | 05:28 |
| rosco_y | valorie: ty, yes I have. It looked promising but I wasn't able to convert it, or whatever is required. | 05:28 |
| valorie | well, ubottu doesn't know anything about it, but I love it | 05:29 |
| valorie | conversion shouldn't be required | 05:29 |
| valorie | unless it's a drm book? | 05:29 |
| valorie | if so, you have to search a bit for the plugin, because those are illegal in some places | 05:29 |
| valorie | personally, I feel that DRM is what should be illegal | 05:30 |
| valorie | the plugin is available, however | 05:30 |
| rosco_y | valorie: I'm pretty sure it is drm'd. I agree with you that it should be illegal. I bought it on Amazon because it was cheapest, I didn't realize it would be the most inconvenient | 05:31 |
| rosco_y | I'm not buying any more kindle books. | 05:31 |
| rosco_y | not for reference anyways. | 05:31 |
| rosco_y | I liked it in the first place, for just reading. But as a reference book, it can't be more inconvenient | 05:32 |
| valorie | true, it's difficult to flip back and forth | 05:33 |
| valorie | anyway, look around for "back up your kindle books" or similar | 05:33 |
| valorie | there certainly is a way, although I've not yet done it | 05:33 |
| rosco_y | It is searchable, and the links are clickable, I like that--but I really miss being able to flip through the book by fanning the pages | 05:34 |
| rosco_y | no wonder piracy was invented ;) | 05:35 |
| === bart is now known as Guest57618 | ||
| rosco_y | not that I'm a theif--I paid for the thing, I should be able to read it on my desktop too..... | 05:36 |
| valorie | haha | 05:36 |
| valorie | agreed | 05:36 |
| === Guest57618 is now known as bartart3d | ||
| jussi | rosco_y: its easy to read kindle books on your desktop. install chrome or chromium, then install amazons cloud reader there | 05:39 |
| jussi | rosco_y: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cloud-reader/icdipabjmbhpdkjaihfjoikhjjeneebd?utm_source=gmail | 05:40 |
| valorie | ah, that's another way to do it, true | 05:41 |
| rosco_y | jussi: ty! I do use chromium on a regular basis, I'll give it a look! | 05:41 |
| valorie | although you have to be online, that way | 05:41 |
| valorie | but it is easy to flip around, or easier | 05:41 |
| valorie | AND you can see figures and illustrations better | 05:41 |
| rosco_y | :) I believe I can make this work. | 05:41 |
| rosco_y | valorie: I believe you'd have to be right about seeing figures and illustrations better--my kindle is an old page-white reader, which I like in many ways, but..... | 05:42 |
| valorie | mine is old too | 05:43 |
| valorie | I love it, but do use the cloud reader also sometimes | 05:43 |
| valorie | for taking notes, especially | 05:43 |
| rosco_y | I beiileve the Cloud Reader in Chromium will work for me--thanks you valorie, jussi (where are you from?), et. al. | 05:44 |
| rosco_y | I used to work with a "Jussi" from Finnland--I'm poking a hole in the possibility that you might be the same person :) | 05:44 |
| jussi | valorie: cloud reader is available for offline reading | 05:45 |
| valorie | cool! I'll have to try that | 05:45 |
| valorie | probably only for books one has purchased | 05:45 |
| valorie | I usually check mine out from the library | 05:45 |
| jussi | rosco_y: Jussi is a _very_ common name in finland, its very likely it wasnt me. | 05:45 |
| jussi | valorie: afaik, cloud reader has the same possibilities as the normal kindle. but do give it a try. | 05:46 |
| rosco_y | jussi: :) it's not very common over here. Jussi worked with us at the Michigan Technological University | 05:46 |
| jussi | rosco_y: then it wasnt me :) | 05:46 |
| rosco_y | :) kiitos, hyvaa paivaa -- (my | 05:47 |
| rosco_y | my Finn is surely a LOT worse than your English -- which is very remarkably good) | 05:47 |
| jussi | rosco_y: for general chat, join us in #kubuntu-offtopic | 05:48 |
| rosco_y | ty, I've had enough chat for awhile, I'll let you all get back to topic--sorry for the interruption! | 05:48 |
| rosco_y | I'm adding the irc channel to my connect-list though--I'd propbably fit in better over there in general :) | 05:49 |
| h41 | I accidently deleted my /etc/default/rcS (kubuntu 13.04). What is the easiest way to restore it? | 07:09 |

| MySystem | also 13.04 | 07:28 |
| h41 | MySystem: thank you very much | 07:28 |
| MySystem | try it first its just an idea | 07:29 |
| h41 | MySystem: it worked, thanks. | 07:33 |

| MrNobody | genii-around: ok | 15:37 |
| genii-around | MrNobody: Or is it some other picture which is not displaying, like a background picture | 15:37 |
| MrNobody | genii-around: ok, but I don't change background picture of login page ? | 15:41 |
| genii-around | MrNobody: If you want different background picture on the login page, it's from System Settings...Login Screen(LightDM)...Then you click the thumnail it shows on the middle bottom , and choose Load from File, then navigate to whatever picture you want from there and select it, when you are returned to the Settings screen make sure to click on the Apply button in bottom right. | 15:46 |
| genii-around | MrNobody: If you make changes then only logout, you will only see the old one without the changes yet. Lightdm has to be restarted before the changes take effect. So either a reboot or to manually ctrl-alt-f1 at the login screen , login by text to the console and then: sudo restart lightdm | 15:48 |

| Butta | Hello | 20:11 |
| Butta | I have a friend that can't tick the button for activate wireless connections (wifi). I need help because is the only way he can connect to the internet | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | Butta, open kmenu>apps>system>additional drivers , to see if there is a wifi driver available | 20:16 |
| Butta | one thing, BluesKaj. My friend was available to connect to the internet until now | 20:17 |
| BluesKaj | Butta, what changed , update/upgrare ? | 20:18 |
| Butta | BluesKaj: I think it was the upgrade to kubuntu 13 but I'm not sure (sorry) | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | then he should have a driver available in the path I posted above | 20:20 |
| Butta | BluesKaj: Really? Ok, I will ask him tomorrow, I wish we can solve it... Thank you :) | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | Butta, usually when one upgrades the OS from an old release to the next, then the drivers for various hardware device like soundcards , wfi cards, graphics etc need to be installed again , usually from the repositories | 20:33 |
| three18ti | hey guys. Anyone using OpenV Switch with Kubuntu 13.04? I've got it installed, but when I go to attempt to boot with my network config active, plasma-desktop segfaults. when I remove all of my config lines from /etc/network/interfaces and reboot, KDE launches flawlessly. | 20:44 |
| three18ti | I'm thinking either a) figure a way to get network manager to work with openv switch, or b) disable network manager altogether... | 20:44 |
| three18ti | thoughts? | 20:44 |
| three18ti | from what I can gather from the crash info, it looks like something to do with plasma+applet_networkmanagement | 20:45 |
| FearTheLord | !ops | will god forgive me | 20:48 |
| ubottu | will god forgive me: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) Hobbsee, Tm_T, Nalioth, Riddell, seth, imbrandon, gnomefreak, nixternal, ryanakca, mneptok, PriceChild, tsimpson, jussi, Pici, ikonia, genii, Mamarok, claydoh, maco, apachelogger, seele, Nightrose, JontheEnchidna, rgreening, or txwikinger | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | well, three18ti if you can live without networkmanager (like I do ) then your interfaces file can do the job in conjunction with your settings in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base | 20:48 |
| txwikinger | what was that? | 20:49 |
| Mamarok | some poor misguided soul? | 20:49 |
| txwikinger | :-) | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | three18ti, Im trying to set up vpn myself , but not having much luck | 20:51 |
| three18ti | BluesKaj, did you just purge network-manager? I don't mind managing etc/interfaces by hand really. but it would be kinda nice to be able to tell n-m to manage the virtual interfaces... | 20:52 |
| three18ti | with openvswitch? | 20:52 |
| BluesKaj | three18ti, NM has vpn settings , but I haven't tried using it for that purpose yet , but I was trying to get Kvpnc to work with openvpn and T2LP/Ipsec , but pluto and swansoft fail everytime ...so I gave up on it for now | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | three18ti, ok openvswitch looks like unfamilar territory to me ... a bit beyond my scope. | 20:59 |
| three18ti | :) it's really not that scary, and it's -relatively- user friendly. | 20:59 |
| BluesKaj | cisco ? | 21:00 |
| three18ti | I felt that way at first, but I kinda have to learn ovs | 21:00 |
| three18ti | I know a little cisco... my last job we actually converted from cisco to juniper. | 21:00 |
| three18ti | so I know juniper a bit better. | 21:01 |
| BluesKaj | vpn in general doesn't have many friendly apps in KDE from my experience so far ...disappointing | 21:01 |
| three18ti | what kinda app are you looking for? I'm not well versed in vpn, but it was my understanding you could just save the vpn "profile" file and network manager could more or less "auto negotiate" | 21:04 |
| BluesKaj | three18ti, yes sort of , if you use openvpn ..it's reltively easy in ubuntu from the descritions I've seen in google , but i suspect it's not as easy as it's made out | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | descriptions | 21:06 |
| three18ti | negative. I've purged network manager and starting x still crashes. | 21:07 |
| BluesKaj | bummer | 21:07 |
| BluesKaj | three18ti, what about reinstalling plasma-desktop | 21:09 |
| BluesKaj | bbiab | 21:10 |
| three18ti | hmm... actually, I was able to manually `startx` threw a couple errors, but seems to come up... | 21:10 |
| three18ti | hmm... it seems fixing I had to get the network config right first, but now I boot right into kde no problems... | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | three18ti, that's a new one on me ,.. never heard of network manager crashing plasma and X | 21:22 |
| BluesKaj | or netconfig | 21:23 |
| three18ti | yea, especially because I purge network-manager | 21:25 |
| three18ti | which purged the plasma applet | 21:25 |
| three18ti | still though... something is hinky with the network config.... when comment out the eth0 config, br0 and br1 virtual interfaces are configured, but are unreachable / unable to ping out. when I configure eth0 (dhcp or static) then I am able to ping the ips on the virtual interface. | 21:32 |
| three18ti | something is up with my ovs config, I'm sure of it. | 21:32 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| BluesKaj | well ,you have my curiosity piqued | 21:34 |
| === jbracker is now known as Guest84756 | ||
| three18ti | haha. I think I had /static/ instead of /manual/ | 21:50 |
| three18ti | http://blog.allanglesit.com/2012/10/linux-kvm-ubuntu-12-10-with-openvswitch/ | 21:50 |
| three18ti | under the eth0 config. | 21:50 |
| three18ti | bam! | 21:50 |
| BluesKaj | iface ovsbr0p1 inet dhcp | 21:53 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 21:53 |
| three18ti | iface eth0 inet manual | 21:54 |
| three18ti | I had iface eth0 inet static | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 21:54 |
| three18ti | haha. and the automatic failover works :) | 21:55 |
| three18ti | so my interfaces file looks like this: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/250899 | 21:57 |
| three18ti | then I ran this series of commands, http://paste.scsys.co.uk/250900 | 21:58 |
| three18ti | the first one creates the virtual bridge, the second creates a bonded interface between eth0 and eth1, and assigns that to the bridge ovsbr0 the second set of commands creates the virtual interfaces br0 and br1 | 21:59 |
| three18ti | I should call it veth0 and veth1, that would make more sense. | 22:00 |
| three18ti | so like this: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/250901 | 22:01 |
| BluesKaj | dinner call...bbl | 22:03 |
| three18ti | so the flows look like this: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/250902 | 22:03 |

| Artakha | Linusnewb, a good start would be to pastebin the actual error | 23:13 |
| Artakha | Linusnewb, or rather, i cannot find anything from google with that error and i'd believe some would be there | 23:13 |
| Artakha | Linusnewb, maybe try `LANG=C whatever_command_you_do` and google the error message | 23:14 |
| Artakha | if the error is localized that is | 23:14 |
| Linusnewb | arthaka I think I need the server gpg key or whatever to make a checksumme | 23:21 |
