Scunizi | hopefully someone will be awake :).. Dolphin has just started freezing on me. If I start it from cli the 1st output line is "dolphin(5478) kxmlgui::actionlist::plug: Index 19 is not within range (0-11" then "QPixmap::scaled" Pixmap is a null pixmap. This is right after opening it. How do I fix it? | 01:12 |
fractaline | valorie, didn't work from tty, ( i realized after that it was simply because i didn't do mkdir ~/.kde-old first) but i did the cheeky thing and just renamed it from dolphin then quickly logged out, which worked. the fresh .kde is without the said glitch. | 02:03 |
fractaline | but i'm still feeling the need to do a clean install as there are other "artifacts" from ubuntu... e.g. nautilus is seen running in system activity but is not present in app list... | 02:06 |
fractaline | and i cant seem to get rid of the cairo(gnome) login option from login screen. it's all just a bit messy in there. :/ | 02:08 |
fractaline | my current question is that if i install clean and use a backup of /home (eg copy it to it's own partition) will i be importing the issues along with it?? | 02:11 |
* fractaline has a head that's spinning | 02:11 | |
ahoneybun | fractaline: there are certain config files that could be in the /home directory | 02:12 |
ahoneybun | that could bring a issue over | 02:13 |
fractaline | that was mt concern | 02:13 |
fractaline | *my | 02:13 |
ahoneybun | I usually only copy directories (music, pictures, docs) and so forth | 02:14 |
ahoneybun | just don't copy over hidden directory and files | 02:14 |
fractaline | and just reinstall all the needed apps and reconfigure? | 02:15 |
fractaline | i don't have that many to worry about currently so.... no real stress | 02:15 |
fractaline | ahoneybun, did you happen to see the issue i was talking with valorie about? | 02:17 |
ahoneybun | no I have not looked at the logs | 02:18 |
fractaline | no worries | 02:18 |
fractaline | i'm being haunted by the ghost of ubuntu's past | 02:19 |
ahoneybun | cairo issues? | 02:19 |
fractaline | i think so | 02:19 |
fractaline | have you used cairo? | 02:19 |
ahoneybun | nope | 02:20 |
fractaline | i have a feeling my intel integrated graphics card is not liking it... and compiz | 02:21 |
fractaline | i do like eye candy but kwin/plasma has plenty | 02:22 |
ahoneybun | yes it has a lot of what compiz can have | 02:24 |
ahoneybun | or has I mean | 02:24 |
fractaline | seems to use a lot les ram as well | 02:24 |
fractaline | i've been impressed with how light kde is for how feature rich it is | 02:26 |
ahoneybun | fractaline: kwin seems to have a lot more work being put into it then compiz | 02:28 |
ahoneybun | IMO Ubuntu is silly for using compiz at all, but they have to as Unity is a plugin to compiz | 02:28 |
fractaline | i see, that makes sense. i'll be glad to be rid of it | 02:29 |
ahoneybun | I don't see it having very good performance, but I have not officially tested it | 02:33 |
fractaline | i used it on mint and ubuntu, both of which i find rather boring without but the systems of both became very buggy hence my joy in finding kde, stability and customization | 02:35 |
ahoneybun | yea KDE has customization for sure, Mint's work is top notch, kinda wish they we leading Ubuntu | 02:36 |
ahoneybun | not sticking to the old desktop method though | 02:37 |
fractaline | was it you that said mint kde was choppy? | 02:37 |
ahoneybun | no I have not used Mint KDE to say anything good or bad | 02:40 |
ahoneybun | I just perfer Kubuntu's pure KDE design | 02:40 |
fractaline | it was Aethysius .... | 02:41 |
Aethysius | I didn't care for Mint's play with KDE. | 02:42 |
Aethysius | Kubuntu just integrates KDE and Ubuntu so well. | 02:42 |
Aethysius | Oh, I feel kind of stupid for asking this, but how do you get to change the wallpaper in Kubuntu? | 02:43 |
fractaline | default desktop settings | 02:43 |
Aethysius | I thought that meant that it would set everything back to default, my mistake. | 02:44 |
fractaline | so, i have an extended partion in which there is a 62gig, a 95gig, both ext4 and 4gig swap. does it seem reasonable to use the 60gig for /home and 95gog for / ?? | 02:45 |
fractaline | i should probably shrink my windows partition as it does not really deserve 290 gig.... | 02:47 |
ahoneybun | 60GB for / and 95Gb for /home is what I would do, you really only need 25 for the / for the bare minimal | 02:48 |
fractaline | i was just being cautious in the beginning, but now i'd certainly rather not boot it at all | 02:48 |
ahoneybun | Aethysius: I don't like to have GTK apps on a Qt system unless they are the best for the job | 02:48 |
ahoneybun | GIMP, Inkscape | 02:48 |
fractaline | boot windows that is | 02:48 |
ahoneybun | oh | 02:49 |
ahoneybun | fractaline: you want to remove windows? or just make it smaller? | 02:49 |
fractaline | just smaller for now | 02:49 |
ahoneybun | oh not sure how that will work | 02:50 |
ahoneybun | I know you can do it | 02:50 |
fractaline | +1 about the gtk apps | 02:50 |
fractaline | it's how i did it originally, just shrunk it | 02:51 |
fractaline | what would be the risk? | 02:53 |
ahoneybun | fractaline: I'm not sure, I just deleted windows by reformating my HDD with just Kubuntu | 02:59 |
fractaline | good man ;) | 03:04 |
ahoneybun | lol yep | 03:05 |
Aethysius | I kinda want to do a fresh install of Kubuntu, but I don't want all my settings to die. | 03:15 |
Aethysius | Also, I'm too lazy. | 03:16 |
tsimpson | Aethysius: that's why it's recommended to have a separate /home | 03:16 |
Aethysius | I do. | 03:17 |
tsimpson | then your personal settings are safe, stored under /home/<you> | 03:17 |
Aethysius | Oh, I see. | 03:18 |
Aethysius | Thanks for that info. | 03:18 |

ed9876434567654 | somebody help me, music playback on my kubuntu install is not so great compared same machine running win7, tried several flac files and they sound really poor on linux, they even sound better on my android tablet? any ideas why and how to fix this? | 15:43 |
Alex_Zion | yeah , if I open a link from here (quassel) for example , or even from akregator ...... | 15:43 |
BluesKaj | ed9876434567654, bad audio qulity , please describe | 15:45 |
Alex_Zion | BluesKaj: I'm using chromium as a default browser , can be thisone the problem ? | 15:45 |
BluesKaj | Alex_Zion, never heard of that , try firefox as default and see what happens with it | 15:47 |
ed9876434567654 | not sure how, its like depth maybe, basicly everythin on linux sound like 128kbps mp3, really low quality, low bass | 15:47 |

ed9876434567654 | yes | 15:51 |
BluesKaj | Alex_Zion, for some reason the link is calling a tmp file , temporary ...why? I have no idea | 15:54 |
Alex_Zion | BluesKaj: it seems to work with Firefox as a default browser ..., so the problem is once again chromium ....., and I really hate firefox in kde , is horrible and doesn't work really well .... | 15:54 |
Alex_Zion | and rekonq is not ready yet .... | 15:55 |
Alex_Zion | so I have no choise at moment ..... :( | 15:55 |
BluesKaj | Alex_Zion, I find the opposite FF works well in KDE as long as your gtk settings are setup in system settings > application appearance | 15:56 |
Alex_Zion | well , I cannot use Firefox in this way , so probably is much better copy and paste the link I need to open...... | 15:56 |
Alex_Zion | BluesKaj: in Firefox very often I cannot open menus and the only chance to keep using it is to restart it ...., so you can just Image how unconfortable it is ..... | 15:57 |
BluesKaj | chromium doesn't integrate as well , IME ...unreadable tab fonts on large monitors | 15:57 |
Alex_Zion | In my case Chromium has ..., well had ..., the best integration , much bettere than firefox that for me is really unusable .. BluesKaj | 15:58 |

Alex_Zion | I was hoping on Chromium , but since months it seems is getting worst ..... | 16:01 |
Alex_Zion | are months there is a problem with flash still there , and now this problem ..... | 16:02 |

ed9876434567654 | BluesKaj I have tried amarok, also audacious, even vlc, it all sound the same | 16:06 |
BluesKaj | sounds like pulseaudio might be to blame , try removing pulseaudio and playing with just pure alsa , you'll probly lose your webaudio playback , but it's worth the test to track this problem down | 16:11 |

BluesKaj | BBL... | 16:18 |
ed9876434567654 | BluesKaj I have done that and not sure it sound somewhat louder and better though still not as good as the tablet playback, maybe I try playing with the equaliser or smth | 16:20 |

fractaline | nborgror, which one? i have changed the grub background and the splashscreen but i can't seem to get the login screen to change | 23:07 |
genii-around | I believe currently there are issues also with Kubuntu and plymouth | 23:07 |
genii-around | eg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bug/1172534 | 23:08 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 1171099 in kubuntu-settings (Ubuntu Saucy) "duplicate for #1172534 kubuntu - plymouth not shown" [High,Triaged] | 23:09 |
nborgror | fractaline: the grub background and bootsplash | 23:10 |
nborgror | how change the grub background ? | 23:11 |
nborgror | and also the bootsplash ? | 23:12 |
fractaline | the easy way for grub is to put a suitable image in /boot/grub then in terminal update grub | 23:14 |
fractaline | system settings - workspace appearance for splashscreen | 23:15 |
fractaline | but yeah... i've yet to find a way to get lightdm settings to stick | 23:16 |
genii-around | And for changing the plymouth splash screen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth#Splash_Theme | 23:17 |
nborgror | ok, I try | 23:17 |
nborgror | fractaline: I must create directory /boot/grub ? | 23:18 |
fractaline | no, it's there | 23:19 |
nborgror | I put a image in what folder in /boot/grub/ ? | 23:21 |
genii-around | It sort of sucks there are so many splash screens before the desktop comes up... grub->plymouth->lightdm->kubuntu-splash | 23:21 |
genii-around | nborgror: To do that, you should either run dolphin with kdesudo dolphin, or else if in Konsole to do: sudo cp filename /boot/grub (if you are in the same directory the file is in while in Konsole) | 23:23 |
nborgror | ok | 23:23 |
