[07:12] hi [07:13] Hey manenbu, how are you? === jan_ is now known as Guest71432 [08:18] Hi. I want to improve my fonts in kubuntu. The present font which I am using has a lot of washed away look at the edges. How can I fix this. [08:19] I want a consistent thick font. [08:34] nascentmind: have to tweaked the anti-aliasing settings? [08:35] murthy, done. [08:35] murthy, the fonts are thin. [08:35] nascentmind: you mean you tried already? [08:35] its not thick and crisp at the edges. [08:35] yes [08:35] its already enabled. [08:35] nascentmind: I think I have the same problem on my desktop, haven't found the fix yet :( [08:36] since the font is thin i can see patches of background color in between the fonts. [08:36] nascentmind: whats the font that you are using? [08:36] :D [08:36] From inconsolata to monospace same problem. [08:37] because of the patches the white foreground does not appear bright.. [08:37] nascentmind: can you give me your anti-aliasing settings ? [08:37] anti alias settings are enabled. [08:38] nascentmind: i mean the values you see when you press the configure button [08:39] I have disabled exclude range. [08:39] I use sub pixel rendering hinting style full RGB. [08:39] mine is exclude range is disabled, sub-pixel rendering is enabled and it is set to rgb and hinting is set to slight [08:40] I am using ubuntu font [08:42] lordievader: Is there a possiblity that graphics card setting can override the anti-aliasing settings of the apps, I think I have seen something like this for geforce [08:42] murthy: Might be yes. Where can I find these anti-aliasing settings? [08:43] lordievader: you mean the graphic card's? [08:43] murthy, did it make a difference? Mine doesn't [08:43] nascentmind: do you restart the application when ever you make a change to see the change? [08:44] murthy: Oh well never mind, in the nvidia x config you can override application settings. [08:44] nascentmind: Do you use an nVidia card? [08:44] lRIGHT [08:44] OOPS [08:44] lordievader: right [08:44] yes [08:44] nascentmind: With the closed source driver? [08:44] lordievader, I have a intel card. [08:45] nascentmind: can you change the subpixel rendering to slight and try to re-login and see if it works? [08:45] Oh I thought you mean: yes, I have an nvidia card. [08:46] me too, nvidia [08:46] murthy: Ah that subpixel rendering was the one I was looking for. [08:46] My amd card screwed up recently. and with it too I have the same problem. [08:46] mine is set to rgb with slight hinting [08:47] does this effect gtk rendering too? I use a lot of gtk apps. [08:47] nascentmind: ya, chromium will look screwed [08:50] Nice murthy, that subpixel thing seems to fix it for me :) [08:54] lordievader: nice :) === tayl is now known as Guest10734 === Guest10734 is now known as Taylz [10:16] I need some help [10:17] I've tried searching the net already so put your lmgtfy.com tabs away [10:18] RTracer: hi, may i try? [10:18] So whats going on is after a recent update LightDM will not work [10:19] When I try Alt+F1 and starting it manually, it throws some GLib errors and.. [10:19] I forgot what its called [10:19] But it core dumbs [10:19] dumps* [10:20] segmentation error [10:20] Thats it [10:20] RTracer: does it work for a guest user? [10:20] How do you login as a guest in terminal? [10:21] just Guest in the username? [10:21] RTracer: so you can't even see the greeter :( [10:21] Nope [10:21] RTracer: I need you to paste a file, can you do that? [10:22] I dont think so, how will I upload the file? [10:22] RTracer: use paste.kde.org [10:22] I'm on my laptop right now, isnt there a terminal based web browser or something [10:23] ? [10:23] Hm [10:23] links [10:23] Lynx [10:23] links is newer iirc [10:23] could be wrong tho [10:24] RTracer: I need to see this file "/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log" [10:24] Alright [10:25] I'll see if I can grab it [10:25] RTracer: you need to use sudo to access this "/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log" [10:27] RTracer: Also I need to see this file "/var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log" [10:31] I cant even figure out how to submit the file to paste.kde.org [10:32] RTracer: use a pen drive to get the file to the other system [10:33] RTracer: I guess you are familiar with mounting a drive? [10:35] Yeah [10:35] Just need to format it because [10:36] I dd'd an ISO to it, so its not reconized as a proper drive [10:47] Sorry its taking a while, Windows cant reconize a [10:47] USB drive after i've formatted it in Linux [10:49] RTracer: that happends [10:49] RTracer: *happens [10:51] Yeah, its fucked [10:51] Well, i'll log into Kubuntu on my laptop, grab the files and come back [10:51] brb [10:59] Alright [10:59] Who was it that was helping me?

[11:16] I already tried that [11:16] Both through apt and via the .run file provided by AMD [11:17] RTracer: can you give me one last file? [11:18] Sure [11:18] RTracer: this file ".xsession-errors" in the home directory [11:18] Alright, brb [11:25] Rekonq is unstable as shit in Kubuntu 12.10 [11:26] murthy: http://paste.kde.org/762224/ [11:26] RTracer: run this command in the system that has the issue and tell me what it gives "grep "user-session=" /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" [11:27] the command is "grep "user-session=" /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" [11:27] wait [11:27] grep "user-session=" /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [11:27] RTracer: the above is the command [11:28] i am checking the file that you gave me now [11:28] user-session=kde-plasma [11:30] I reckon, in 100 years, our medical reseach and cures will allow us to live until 250 [11:31] Although, coming to think about it, all the dumbasses in the world will keep life expentancy down a bit [11:31] Woops, I tend to wonder about with my thoughts, sorry [11:31] brb [11:39] bbl [11:40] murthy: how's it going?

[13:30] tux_: Doing good, how about you? [13:30] fine [13:30] where are you from? [13:31] tux_: Hang around long enough and you'll find out ;) [13:31] hi [13:31] RTracer: are you there? [13:32] Yeah [13:32] RTracer: have you solved the problem? [13:32] Nah, I gave up [13:32] RTracer: what to try? [13:32] I thought I did [13:32] RTracer: *want to try? [13:33] agian? [13:33] Sure [13:33] Found anything interesting in the last link I sent you> [13:33] ? [13:33] RTracer: run the following command and try [13:34] RTracer: sudo dpkg --reconfigure lightdm [13:34] I tried thata already [13:34] Didnt work [13:34] Oh wait [13:35] Should it work if .Xathority is deleted? [13:37] RTracer: you didn't already try that? [13:40] No [13:40] I did delete .Xathorirt [13:40] Xathority [13:40] But that didnt work [13:42] Now it says something about Plymouth [13:43] RTracer: so did you try the command that i gave you now? [13:43] Yeah [13:44] Plymouth command failed [13:44] and Disconnected from Plymouth [13:44] murthy ^ [13:45] Oh and everytime I run "start lightdm" it doesnt start the first time [13:46] RTracer: what is error that you see in the terminal? [13:46] none [13:47] Should I just launch it using "lightdm" [13:47] sudo lightdm [13:47] Oh I see [13:48] Those GLib errors again [13:48] tell me [13:49] GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g_type_init() [13:50] GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed [13:51] RTracer: can you try to login with kdm? [13:51] GLib-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed [13:51] I'll have to get it [13:51] I tried gdm and that didnt work [13:51] I'll try kdm [13:52] btw, that's all the errors [13:52] aha! KDM works! [13:53] Wow, I'm acturally at my desktop [13:53] Thanks murthy [13:53] RTracer: :) [13:53] RTracer: yw [13:53] I notice there's a game I like to play that doesnt work with a GTK+ theme [13:53] Maybe the same sorta thing is going on [13:54] Becuase I get simular errors when I try to launch that game with a GTK+ theme === rooted is now known as Guest73894 [13:57] RTracer: if you still want to try? we can [13:57] Why would LightDM do that murthy? [13:57] any ideas? [13:58] RTracer: two things you could try [13:58] I guess it'd be nice to play in a GTK theme [13:58] RTracer: 1. do a disk check [13:58] RTracer: 2. check for broken packages [13:58] I like KDM, it warns me if i'm logged in via TTY [13:59] if I reboot or shutdown [13:59] Alright, i'll try those, thanks [14:00] Hi folks. I've got a head-scratcher with easy tag. Maybe it's just me. :-) Anyway, when I launch easytag (from the command line), nothing happens: no feedback, no new line and no program launch. Nuttin'. Any ideas? [14:01] DarthFrog: try to see if you get something when you run "strace easytag" [14:01] murthy: Did that. Nothing that makes sense to me. [14:01] How do I do a disk check btw> [14:01] ? [14:02] RTracer: sudo touch ./forcefsck [14:02] murthy: it seems to sit in a polling state. [14:02] RTracer: after that restart the system, the disk check will be done during boot [14:02] Thanks [14:03] Wait up, which directory is forcefsck in? [14:03] DarthFrog: is the debug enabled for easytag? [14:03] RTracer: root [14:04] oops [14:04] RTracer: sorry [14:04] Which root [14:04] RTracer: sudo touch /forcefsck [14:04] RTracer: thats the correct one [14:04] Oh I see, thanks [14:05] murthy: how would I do that? [14:05] DarthFrog: run debugdialog [14:05] DarthFrog: wait [14:06] DarthFrog: its kdebugdialog [14:07] DarthFrog: untick disable all debug output in that dialog and see if the one for easytag is checked [14:10] fgh [14:10] df [14:10] df [14:10] ghghg [14:10] tux_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:11] murthy: easytag isn't a KDE programme. But there is kid3 and that's working. I'll use it instead. Thanks. [14:12] DarthFrog: I have used it since it was available for windows , its a good one [14:12] i know [14:21] Hi folks [14:23] hi === kaddi_ is now known as kaddi === 45PAAL7PJ is now known as AlexZion [15:06] hello mates , how to create dos iso more then 2.88mb? i need update the bios which have 8mb [15:07] k3b? any ideas? :) === Boc is now known as bjoc [17:10] Hi there. How can i disbale guest account in KDM? [17:13] bodom, system settings>login screen>generaltab, uncheck "allow guest login ", apply [17:13] BluesKaj: isn't System Settings -> login screen to configure LightDM? [17:14] well, I thought kdm would be the same [17:15] BluesKaj: ok, i'm gonna try anyway, thank you [17:15] why are you using kdm ,are you on an older release? [17:46] is there any special reason why kubuntu-desktop depends on lightdm? [17:53] both ubuntu and kubuntu use lightdm nowadays === akshay_ is now known as akshay_r === root is now known as Guest7802 [18:03] OerHeks: yep, but this way one can't uninstall lightdm without uninstalling also kubuntu-desktop [18:04] so? [18:07] so, what if i want to use kdm? === Exposure` is now known as Exposure [18:09] bodom, have you seen this ? ..it might give some clues [18:09] http://askubuntu.com/questions/74353/virtual-terminal-switching-with-a-multiseat-setup-and-lightdm [18:13] BluesKaj: i think i don't understand how it can be helpful [18:13] bodom, ok nm then [18:14] you obviously want to stick with kdm [18:15] BluesKaj: you can use kdm if you want [18:15] there's no reason you can't have both installed [18:16] oops, bodom not BluesKaj [18:16] I have no need to use kdm , I use a single monitor [18:16] echo `which kdm`|sudo tee /etc/X11/default-display-manager [18:16] ^ will select KDM as the default display manager [18:17] tsimpson: Yes, i have kdm installed and it's already set up as default VM, but i would like to uninstall lightdm without breaking kubuntu [18:29] bodom: so just remove it and kubuntu-desktop, it shouldn't remove anything else by default [18:30] yep, but i'll no longer get new kubuntu software [18:31] sure you do, just no packages that are added to the default seed [18:32] which is mostly not a problem, until you want to upgrade to the next kubuntu version [18:58] iHi, is it possible to use shared folders of Oracle VM VM VirtualBox under kubuntu? [19:21] Key-Real: probably, but is may be simpler to just use NFS for that. [19:32] <|kira> I use sshfs === yaos is now known as kenami [20:17] In the old kubuntu terminal I could use ctrl pgup/pgdwn to move between tabs. In Konsole that doesn't seem to work. [20:19] <|kira> I think you can change the binds for that [20:21] Ah, found shift-right and shift-left do that. [20:21] Thanks. [20:22] I gotta say, part of why I switched to kubuntu was not just Unity's slowness, but the gratuitous rearranging of the GUI. I'm not really happy to see the same nonsense happening with kubuntu's GUI. === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 [20:22] <|kira> You can change kde a lot more than unity/gnome3 [20:23] Yeah, but I don't want to :-). [20:23] <|kira> I use KDE and XFCE, XFCE is a lot like gnome3 and kde is a lot better than it was [20:23] I want it to just stay the same, so I can get work done instead of frittering away the hours fiddling with the GUI, just to get it back to the way it used to be. [20:23] <|kira> Mate is a dead end project, and Cinnamon is buggy [20:24] Hm, I think I was using XFCE before, maybe that's my mistake. I thought xfce was the default kubuntu UI? [20:24] How do I check? [20:24] <|kira> xubuntu is xfce... kubuntu kde, gnome-ubuntu is gnome 3... ubuntu is unity... [20:25] Ah... okay, maybe that's where I messed up. [20:25] <|kira> lubuntu is lxde which is really small but too far [20:25] <|kira> kde and xfce are the best offical ubuntus.... cinnamon is really nice but there's no cinnabuntu [20:26] I seem to have set my kde wallet password somewhere along the way, but now I can't remember it. This install is only a few days old, how do I reset it? [20:26] <|kira> I should make cinnabuntu... [20:26] What's cinnamon? [20:26] <|kira> cinnamon is gnome 3 made to be more 2-like, Linux Mint uses it an there's an ubuntu ppa [20:27] Ah... [20:27] <|kira> it's buggy still [20:27] I have a lot to do... I just instaleld a 256GB MSATA SSD (which is listing as 238GB, sigh). I need to revise/reconfigure/reinstall everything. [20:28] I want to set up multiple boot partitions. Sadly this includes windows (I haven't booted windows on my personal laptop in 6+ years). [20:28] <|kira> well linux installs are tiny compared to windows, you could jsut get every livecd and try them all [20:28] But I need to support some stuff that means I may need to occasionally boot into windows. [20:28] <|kira> use kvm or xen or virtualbox [20:28] Nah, I need at least three boots. [20:29] <|kira> kvm supports 1024 machines and 2048 cores and 32TB of ram... [20:29] My every day boot, probably kubuntu or xubuntu. A boot for the latest bleeding-edge ubuntu so I can test it against my hardware (things *always* seem to break). A centos boot for a particular project involving commercial software that is only available for centos. And a windows boot. [20:30] <|kira> My host os is kubuntu, have xubuntu in a vm and windows xp and 7 in a vm too... [20:30] And most of them involve wacky graphics driver issues, so I can't run them under a virtual server. [20:30] <|kira> cent is bad lol [20:30] Yeah, but it's become something of a standard in the 3D graphics industry. [20:31] Actually I think RHEL is the standard, but CentOS is the open source/free equivalent. === afiefh is now known as afief [20:31] <|kira> what software? blender works perfectly on every major distro [20:31] (as far as the industry cares) [20:31] <|kira> fedora is open redhat, cent is... related [20:31] <|kira> cent is like 5 guys, fedora is 300.... [20:32] <|kira> mint is 3 guys, ubuntu is... 400? === euphoria is now known as Guest81339 [20:32] <|kira> ubuntu is pretty much a compilation os series, not much work done, debian is the true mothership distro [20:32] <|kira> so much is debian based [20:33] <|kira> Debian testing is more stable than most distros, stable is old, unstable breaks [20:35] hello:) how do i backup all emails as simple text files (one email one file)? [20:36] somebody help me please... [20:36] <|kira> with what program? [20:37] |kira: thank you... any email client. do you know one that does that? [20:38] what i want is to have one (readable) text file for each email [20:38] <|kira> most backup as xml, which can be broken apart [20:38] <|kira> thundebird and such [20:39] so one big xml file. and how do you break it apart into many little files (one per email)? will these then be readable in a simple text editor? [20:40] <|kira> any simple programming language, go, python, read the xml, spit out the text as seperate files names however [20:41] also how will these files be named? can you get for example the object of the email to be the name of the file? [20:41] <|kira> can ame them however you want [20:42] can a newbie (like me) do this easily? i dont know how to program [20:42] <|kira> i'm about to make a program that does that [20:42] super... thank you [20:43] <|kira> i'll be developing it tonight, i have thunderbird emails i want to blow up to seperate files too [20:43] i still dont understand why thunderbird does not give us this option... [20:44] <|kira> i think there is a way, but nothing as simple as "here's backup dump mails as text fies" [20:45] will you make it available to everybody? [20:46] or just me? :) [20:46] <|kira> open source project [20:46] so where will i find it? [20:46] <|kira> dunno, github probally [20:47] so tell me what to do.... should i go look for it in github tomorrow? [20:47] <|kira> i'm on irc every day, just bug me once in a while [20:48] ok so i will come bug you tomorrow :) always in this channel (kubuntu)? [20:48] <|kira> yup [20:51] really |kira , must be a lurker [20:53] <|kira> i'm maximum lurker [20:53] <|kira> i lurk 50 channels [20:53] what is lurker? [20:54] <|kira> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurker very old word lol [20:54] a member of an online community who observes, but does not actively participate [20:55] but you participate dont you? [20:55] <|kira> when i have reason lol [20:56] what time will be connected tomorrow? [20:57] <|kira> 4-12pmest [20:58] Hm. [20:59] ospi3: Where is the email coming from? [20:59] 5pm already, where did the day go? [20:59] <|kira> I think I'll call it "Thunderbird Backup Exploder" [21:00] ospi3: Maildir is a standard mailbox format that puts the messages in individual files in a subdirectory. [21:01] <|kira> I forgot about that... although i have all of these json emmail backups... [21:02] Cool. [21:03] could you make it that the name of the file comes out as 20130526 News from Alaska (YYYYMMDD EMAILOBJECT) ? (hopefully im not being rude in making these requests) :) [21:03] the name sounds good... [21:06] <|kira> I'll probably name the files like this: YY/MM/DD/HH/MM/SS/Title/from/to [21:07] ok [21:07] <|kira> know of the Go programming language? [21:08] i know of "go" as in "I go to work" :) [21:08] <|kira> I'll be making it with that http://golang.org/ you can apt-get golang [21:09] can you make it so user-friendly that even my grandmother will be able to use it? [21:10] <|kira> you can "go make" it into a simple binary people can run [21:12] |kira: How is go for quickie scriptnig stuff? [21:12] <|kira> go is a full blown programing language, but it's even easier than most scripting languages [21:12] |kira: I've been curious about, haven't managed to make time to try it out. Hell, I've barely made time to try out more practical languages that have long been on my to-do list, like python and ruby. [21:12] |kira: Really? [21:12] <|kira> you can elarn go pretty quick [21:12] <|kira> http://tour.golang.org/#1 [21:13] ok kira .... glad i bumped on you.... be back tomorrow then ... good night (for me time) :) [21:13] <|kira> kate in kde support go syntax [21:14] <|kira> and golang is a standard package you and apt-get [21:15] Neat tour. [21:19] Niklaus Wirth had dinner in the same restaurant tonight as me. I think. At least, there was a lonely man with a beard and a lonely man with a dog on that terrace. You could have just told me Kubuntu is only mimicking dual monitor support. It would have been okay. Now I choose a different distro. [21:20] <|kira> I'm using multimonitor... you can have separate desktops or 1 big one made of multiple monitors... just depends on how your screens are set [21:20] why not have four digits for the year (YYYY)? it will work better for the century turns dont you think? [21:21] I've jsut *barely* gotten my external video working (dang nvidia). [21:21] <|kira> amdcccle or nvidia's... something, lets you set that, intel has a thing too [21:21] <|kira> nvidia on a laptop? [21:21] But what I *really* want is to use multiple monitors when docked, and when I undock, have each monitor be a workspace. [21:21] Yea,h thinkpad t52p with nvidia. [21:22] Turns out there are some really annoying aspects to nvidia on the thinkpad t520 - the external video port is just dead if you don't use nvidia mode.
