kdefhi, anyone here know their way around using pulse audio and headsets?03:08
ahoneybunkdef: I can try03:16
kdefI have used this distro for quite some time...  and have constant sound issues.... in particular, when I want to change from sound card and speakers to my headset03:17
kdefand back.... I have no sound again.... headset has no sound03:17
kdefalso, kmix settings change randomly....  this is the worst.... if I start going deaf, can I sue canonical?03:18
ahoneybunoh my03:18
kdefi think it might be a kde thing, though...03:19
ahoneybunkdef: someone here can help you :)03:20
kdefI googled and it seems when there's no sound, it usually means a conflict03:23
kdefthe headset is treated like another sound card... but, I had it working before03:23
kdefI went into phonon - system settings and set it to prefer the headset for now03:24
kdefbut, nothing is working03:24

BluesKajHey all12:48
phillustinecan i get a little support up in here?14:30
susundbergSure, but you have to ask the question first14:32
phillustineyou can't intuit it electronically?14:32
phillustinepfff. this isn't what i signed up for.14:32
phillustineanywho. i guess no-one found my jokes amusing. tough crowd.14:34
phillustinei need to get my kubuntu.iso onto a usb.14:34
phillustinei'm guessing i can't just drag and drop.14:34

doleyb__When I push alt-tab, how many window titles should be visible at once?14:56
geniiAs many as you have open on the taskbar of your current desktop14:57
doleyb__Ok, it should be showing more than one.  Because I only get one title shown at a time.  The previous kubuntu version showed them all.14:58
geniiThere's probably somewhere to set that but offhand I don't know exactly where that would be ( I'm happy with how mine currently operates)14:59
doleyb__Anyone know where alt-tab options are changed?15:00
phillustineif i replace ubuntu with kubuntu, is there a chance i'll lose any files. or does it just act like an OS refresh?15:02
doleyb__You can basically just install kde packages into ubuntu...15:03
phillustinebut if install from a boot_usb, will it erase my beloved files.15:05
doleyb__Can you find the package installer?15:07
=== spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57
jazzkutyaphillustine: you can get kubuntu on an existing ubuntu by installing the kde-desktop package if i remember right15:08
phillustinei'm currently making a bootable usb from an .iso? by package installer you mean: dpkg or apt-get?15:08
doleyb__!kde15:08
ubottuKDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop.  To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install  kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See  http://kubuntu.org for more information.15:08
jazzkutyaover the network, no need to install any OS15:08
phillustineja sure. i can do it like that.15:09
phillustinebut perhaps i'm being heavy handed.15:09
phillustinemy real prob. is with unity. i just want a kde desktop.15:09
geniidoleyb__: System Settings... Window Behaviour ... Task Switcher      seems to be where the settings for it are. but I don't see many options in there15:09
morgan_is there a schedule for kde 4.10.4 in 13.0415:09
jazzkutyaphillustine: first install kubuntu-desktop with any package manager then switch and forget if you don't mind a bit of lost hard disk space15:10
phillustinei don't mind15:10
morgan_one issue with swicthing is some default apps may not be the native kde one's...15:10
jazzkutyaafter installing kubuntu-desktop you should get a change to select what to use at the login prompt: unity or kde15:10
phillustinejazzkutya: i can just get the kubuntu desktop with apt-get15:10
phillustineaha.15:11
murthyhello everyone15:12
dmattanybody has working gpg in kmail in 12.04 LTS with KDE 4.10.4 ?15:13
dmattwhen I try to run kgpg, it shows "QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave." and does not show anything15:14
phillustinejazzkutya: do i then just reboot?15:15
jazzkutyaphillustine: afaik it's enough to log out and log in15:15
jazzkutyayou can reboot if this does not work15:15

kaddihi? How do I download an album form amazon with ubuntu? Is there a way to use the amz files?19:11
kaddii tried pymazon and clamz and they don't work19:12
kaddii'm having trouble figuring out how the amzdownloader in amarok should work (still on 12.10)19:12
ahoneybunkaddi: you bought a album on the website?19:13
kaddiyes :.19:13
kaddi:/19:13
kaddithey don't tell you you can't download it until after you paid19:13
ahoneybunkaddi: I just go onto the amazon cloud player and download each song19:15
kaddibut it still tells me to install the mp3downloader if i only select one song19:15
kaddiah wait19:16
kaddibut that takes forever :/19:17
ahoneybunkaddi: amazon has not updated their build for theirmp3downloader for newer Ubuntu versions I believe, let me check19:18
kaddii know.. i was hoping some of the other apps would work.. But I can't make it work atm19:18
kaddioh well19:19
ahoneybunodd seems they don't even have a app for Linux19:19
ahoneybunofficial anyway19:19
kaddithey used to have one in the past19:20
kaddiwhich makes it even more ironic19:20
ahoneybunYea I remember one being on their site19:20
kaddisince they're now looking to get themselves integrated into ubuntu19:20
ahoneybunI guess no more development went into it19:20
ahoneybunthe Ubuntu Unity search was Ubuntu not them I believe19:20
kaddi"please see all the great search results you can get from us even though you're only looking for a file on your desktop.. but hey, don't think for a moment that this means you'll be able to download your purchases afterwards, that's clearly asking too much"19:21
kaddii think amazon paid for that?19:21
kaddibut I'm not 100%.. Didn't bother to follow that closesly19:21
ahoneybunthey pay if the user buys the product they found in the search19:22
ahoneybunif they follow the link in the dash and buy it then Ubuntu gets a % of it19:22
kaddiah19:23
kaddistill seems fishy to me :p But hey, I'm not affected, so there.19:23
ahoneybunmaybe it can run in wine19:23
kaddii started downloading them one by one now19:25
ahoneybunoih19:26
ahoneybuntheir is a program called clamz19:30
ahoneybunthat downloads songs and albums19:30
ahoneybuncommandline but still19:30
ahoneybunkaddi: how do you get the amz files?19:33
kaddiyeah, it's not working for me19:33
kaddiwell once i tried just downloading it with my normal linux-useragent, then i used an IE useragent, and I downloaded them both directly from the purchase page and the cloudplayer and neither worked19:34
kaddinot with clamz nor with pymazon19:34
ahoneybunso clamz does not work19:36
kaddino19:36
kaddiwell it funnily enough works for the files I'd already previously downloaded in the amz file, but not the ones I bought today. (So I made a .amz with all files i purchased in cloudplayer and clamz downloaded the ones that were already on my PC successfully and the ones that are new were all 0b)19:37
djonohey are there any touchpad tweaks? im index finger on the left button and scroll with the middle. but two fingers on this touchpad stops  the pointer19:39

phillustineWhy do memory locations have always this 0xhex format? What does the "0x" stand for?20:16
piratebridothanks genii20:16
geniipiratebrido: Welcome20:17
Artakhaphillustine, the "0x" is just a prefix so that hex numbers can be distinguished from base-10 ones20:20
Artakhai dunno exactly why they're in hex though, i guess they're shorter20:21
phillustineArtakha: thanks. i just read a little on that on wikipedia as well. i wonder why they use hex at all.20:21
phillustineperhaps that's it20:21
phillustine8-bit word or so20:21
Artakha32-bit :p20:21
Artakhaor 64-bit in 64-bit systems20:21
Artakhai guess it gives them a neat standard length20:21
phillustinewell, either way you can access more memory locations with shorter string lengths20:22
phillustinesth like that20:22
Artakhano it's not like that20:22
Artakhainternally they're just numbers20:22
Artakhawhat we're on about is how they're printed out20:22
Artakhawhen it comes to computers, deep down everything is numbers20:23
Artakhaat the base level everything is just bits20:23
techdionhello20:23
Artakhahello to you too20:24
phillustineja sure. you have a point.20:29
Spec-Chumphillustine: it's just easier to read in a machine decodable,ie  0xFFFE instead of 65534, so  instantly  know that 0xFFFE consists of 255 * 256 + 254; I couldn't work out mods (%) that quick20:29
phillustinethat makes sense20:29
phillustinefor humans then rather than machines20:30
Spec-Chumyeah20:30
phillustinehow did you get 255, 256, 254 from FFFE incidentally?20:30
Spec-Chumpowers of 1620:30
Spec-ChumF is 16; 16 x 16 is 25620:31
Spec-ChumFE is 16 * 16 + 1520:31
phillustinewell is not then 256 * 256 + 25420:32
Spec-Chumyeah, I typoed above20:32
Spec-Chumwell spotted20:32
Spec-ChumA+20:32
Spec-Chum:D20:32
phillustinegotcha.20:32
Spec-Chumphillustine: you can also convert it to binary very easily too, not that you'd want to really.  Each hex digit is 4 bits20:33
Spec-Chum0 is 0, F is 111120:33
Spec-Chumso FFFE is 11111111 11111111 11111111 1111111020:33
Spec-Chumeasy :)20:33
Spec-Chumtry doing that in decimal!20:33
phillustineaha. that's another reason why hex is popular.20:33
phillustineanyway, thanks for all the explanations. need to brush my teeth and head to bed.20:34
Spec-Chumphillustine: you're welcome buddy20:34
phillustinetake it easy20:34

zoiehow can i assign a command to a global shortcut?20:52
Spec-Chumnescius: no worries matey, let me know who you get on :)21:19
nesciusSpec-Chum: well, proprietary drivers having similiar issue as it seems from stracing one of included binaries21:21
Spec-Chumnescius: oh :(21:25
nesciusit opens a lot of 'files' in /proc/bus/pci and then outputs 'No supported adapters detected' and exits, however as I said, both monitors are connected to the GIGABYTE R697UD-2GD and Nvidia is just on motherboard..21:25
Spec-Chumcan't you turn the onboard off completely in BIOS?21:25
Spec-Chumso the OS doesn't even see it21:25
nesciusi found it really interesting.. it would mean that it is rendered in the nvidia gpu on board and then displayed via the ATI card21:26
nesciusI guess I can try.. brb :)21:26

lustigerpinguinmy problem: I will use thunderbird (not the webinterface)21:28
lustigerpinguindo you know a possibility to use the chat?21:29
Torchisn't that chat thing some google thing to lure people away from open protocols into their google+ hell?21:29
lustigerpinguinbtw: I hope my english is good to understand ;-)21:29
Torchbut in any case, it's not something a mail client will support. or should.21:30
Torchif you want to make use of anything google+ offers, use the webinterface, i would suggest21:31
lustigerpinguinI think is it in the google+ hell, i hoped there is a add on for thunderbird21:31
Torch(maybe it still talks xmpp?)21:31
lustigerpinguinI used thunderbird in the last years (and private) and I like it and I will use it!21:32
Torchlustigerpinguin: no idea about that, sorry. i don't use thunderbird and have zero knowledge about its plugins21:32
hidhi there's still one thing which prevent me to switch to kde: sound manager21:32
hidIn fact with gnome2 for example you had 2 choices between the headphones and the pc21:32
