I saw it uses a KDE version of lightdm, but couldn't find themes for it :/ === TheMaster is now known as Hypnotoad === marco is now known as Guest72199 [03:08] hi, anyone here know their way around using pulse audio and headsets? [03:16] kdef: I can try [03:17] I 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 headset [03:17] and back.... I have no sound again.... headset has no sound [03:18] also, kmix settings change randomly.... this is the worst.... if I start going deaf, can I sue canonical? [03:18] oh my [03:19] i think it might be a kde thing, though... [03:20] kdef: someone here can help you :) [03:23] I googled and it seems when there's no sound, it usually means a conflict [03:23] the headset is treated like another sound card... but, I had it working before [03:24] I went into phonon - system settings and set it to prefer the headset for now [03:24] but, nothing is working === hoverboard is now known as orbnbradsanchez === orbnbradsanchez is now known as overripebanana === overripebanana is now known as suzysanchez === suzysanchez is now known as hoverboard === goodtime_ is now known as goodtime [04:03] nevermind, I'll install smth else... smth NOT KDE [05:31] murthy_: I've succeeded in compiling the whole lot :D, compiled the whole program + the python plugin from scratch. === magespawn_ is now known as magespawn === hoverboard is now known as hitherebaz === hitherebaz is now known as hazbang === hazbang is now known as bazadvice === bazadvice is now known as hoverboard === skyz is now known as skyz_ === jbracker is now known as Guest83157 === kubuntu is now known as Guest63491 [08:52] greetings [09:13] ey === roman is now known as Guest21933 === erry_ is now known as erry === Torch_ is now known as Torch [10:49] Moin [10:51] darkfire: hello. is "moin" international now? ;-) === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] === MKay5 is now known as M_Kay === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [12:48] Hey all [14:30] can i get a little support up in here? [14:32] Sure, but you have to ask the question first [14:32] you can't intuit it electronically? [14:32] pfff. this isn't what i signed up for. [14:34] anywho. i guess no-one found my jokes amusing. tough crowd. [14:34] i need to get my kubuntu.iso onto a usb. [14:34] i'm guessing i can't just drag and drop.

[14:39] nope [14:39] jk [14:40] who else ? :) [14:41] phillustine, assuming your machine has usb boot capability of course === pity is now known as Guest48779 [14:56] When I push alt-tab, how many window titles should be visible at once? [14:57] As many as you have open on the taskbar of your current desktop [14:58] 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. [14:59] There'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) [15:00] Anyone know where alt-tab options are changed? [15:02] if i replace ubuntu with kubuntu, is there a chance i'll lose any files. or does it just act like an OS refresh? [15:03] You can basically just install kde packages into ubuntu... [15:05] but if install from a boot_usb, will it erase my beloved files. [15:07] Can you find the package installer? === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 [15:08] phillustine: you can get kubuntu on an existing ubuntu by installing the kde-desktop package if i remember right [15:08] i'm currently making a bootable usb from an .iso? by package installer you mean: dpkg or apt-get? [15:08] !kde [15:08] KDE (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] over the network, no need to install any OS [15:09] ja sure. i can do it like that. [15:09] but perhaps i'm being heavy handed. [15:09] my real prob. is with unity. i just want a kde desktop. [15:09] doleyb__: System Settings... Window Behaviour ... Task Switcher seems to be where the settings for it are. but I don't see many options in there [15:09] is there a schedule for kde 4.10.4 in 13.04 [15:10] phillustine: first install kubuntu-desktop with any package manager then switch and forget if you don't mind a bit of lost hard disk space [15:10] i don't mind [15:10] one issue with swicthing is some default apps may not be the native kde one's... [15:10] after installing kubuntu-desktop you should get a change to select what to use at the login prompt: unity or kde [15:10] jazzkutya: i can just get the kubuntu desktop with apt-get [15:11] aha. [15:12] hello everyone [15:13] anybody has working gpg in kmail in 12.04 LTS with KDE 4.10.4 ? [15:14] when I try to run kgpg, it shows "QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave." and does not show anything [15:15] jazzkutya: do i then just reboot? [15:15] phillustine: afaik it's enough to log out and log in [15:15] you can reboot if this does not work [15:15] jazzkutya: thanks. [15:15] i'll give it a go === marco is now known as Guest40950 === marco is now known as Guest69874 === christian is now known as Guest65136 === Guest65136 is now known as crodriguez === murthy is now known as murthy_ === rosco_y is now known as rosco_away === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] [17:09] dmatt: to my [17:14:40] problem ... kgpg was already running but could be activated only through system tray icon, which is normally hidden ... so it worked OK, I just did not see it [17:12] How open is the Oxygen icon project? [17:12] Actually, I was wondering how easy it'd be to build a flexible icon set for KDE [17:14] jalcine: http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?page_id=4 [17:15] jalcine: KDE's suggestions for using and modifying them: https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Oxygen/Licensing [17:18] thanks genii [17:21] jalcine: You're welcome === aluno is now known as LM-05 [17:33] asa === rosco_away is now known as rosco_y === palasso_ is now known as palasso === dragan is now known as Guest64433 [18:44] Hello [18:44] Hello [18:45] FluxBox23: Hello, welcome to the Kubuntu spuurt channel.

How do I download an album form amazon with ubuntu? Is there a way to use the amz files? [19:12] i tried pymazon and clamz and they don't work [19:12] i'm having trouble figuring out how the amzdownloader in amarok should work (still on 12.10) [19:13] kaddi: you bought a album on the website? [19:13] yes :. [19:13] :/ [19:13] they don't tell you you can't download it until after you paid [19:15] kaddi: I just go onto the amazon cloud player and download each song [19:15] but it still tells me to install the mp3downloader if i only select one song [19:16] ah wait [19:17] but that takes forever :/ [19:18] kaddi: amazon has not updated their build for theirmp3downloader for newer Ubuntu versions I believe, let me check [19:18] i know.. i was hoping some of the other apps would work.. But I can't make it work atm [19:19] oh well [19:19] odd seems they don't even have a app for Linux [19:19] official anyway [19:20] they used to have one in the past [19:20] which makes it even more ironic [19:20] Yea I remember one being on their site [19:20] since they're now looking to get themselves integrated into ubuntu [19:20] I guess no more development went into it [19:20] the Ubuntu Unity search was Ubuntu not them I believe [19:21] "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] i think amazon paid for that? [19:21] but I'm not 100%.. Didn't bother to follow that closesly [19:22] they pay if the user buys the product they found in the search [19:22] if they follow the link in the dash and buy it then Ubuntu gets a % of it [19:23] ah [19:23] still seems fishy to me :p But hey, I'm not affected, so there. [19:23] maybe it can run in wine [19:25] i started downloading them one by one now [19:26] oih [19:30] their is a program called clamz [19:30] that downloads songs and albums [19:30] commandline but still [19:33] kaddi: how do you get the amz files? [19:33] yeah, it's not working for me [19:34] well 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 worked [19:34] not with clamz nor with pymazon [19:36] so clamz does not work [19:36] no [19:37] well 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) [19:39] hey 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 pointer [19:40] djono: Please don't post the same question in multiple channels. Choose the channel of the distribution you're using. [19:40] im using lubuntu kubuntu and ubuntu [19:41] djono: Whichever one you're connecting in now. [19:42] kubuntu [19:45] any ideas [19:52] Hello! [19:53] what up [19:53] I'm a helpee in need of a helper. Any helpers out there? [19:54] Issues with a highend ATI card being identified as nvidia..

Scrolling tab on right [19:54] I believe I am running noveau drivers [19:55] nescius: noveau is nvidia, are you sure you've got an ATI card? [19:56] what does inxi -Gx tell you? Assuming you have it installed :) [19:56] inix -G [19:56] Graphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cypress PRO [Radeon HD 5850] bus-ID 01:00.0 [19:56] X.Org 1.13.3 drivers ati,radeon (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution 1920x1080@60.0hz [19:56] GLX Renderer Gallium 0.4 on AMD CYPRESS GLX Version 3.0 Mesa 9.1.1 Direct Rendering Yes [19:56] that's mine for example [19:56] yes, from lshw:product: RD890 PCI to PCI bridge (external gfx0 port B) [19:56] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI [19:58] oh, right, odd [19:59] anyone have any recommendations for a dynamic dns service? [19:59] i'm in the uk if that makes a difference [20:00] ..to explain it a bit, there is an nvidia chipset with GF110 [GeForce GTX 580] , the ATI card is connected via pci express and both monitors are through it [20:01] Does anyone know of any opensource GIS software? [20:02] phillustine: Some guys at my work use this: http://www.qgis.org/ [20:03] genii: nice. thanks. i'll check it out. [20:04] nescius: what does 'lspci | grep VGA' say?

What does the "0x" stand for? [20:16] thanks genii [20:17] piratebrido: Welcome [20:20] phillustine, the "0x" is just a prefix so that hex numbers can be distinguished from base-10 ones [20:21] i dunno exactly why they're in hex though, i guess they're shorter [20:21] Artakha: thanks. i just read a little on that on wikipedia as well. i wonder why they use hex at all. [20:21] perhaps that's it [20:21] 8-bit word or so [20:21] 32-bit :p [20:21] or 64-bit in 64-bit systems [20:21] i guess it gives them a neat standard length [20:22] well, either way you can access more memory locations with shorter string lengths [20:22] sth like that [20:22] no it's not like that [20:22] internally they're just numbers [20:22] what we're on about is how they're printed out [20:23] when it comes to computers, deep down everything is numbers [20:23] at the base level everything is just bits [20:23] hello [20:24] hello to you too [20:29] ja sure. you have a point. [20:29] phillustine: 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 quick [20:29] that makes sense [20:30] for humans then rather than machines [20:30] yeah [20:30] how did you get 255, 256, 254 from FFFE incidentally? [20:30] powers of 16 [20:31] F is 16; 16 x 16 is 256 [20:31] FE is 16 * 16 + 15 [20:32] well is not then 256 * 256 + 254 [20:32] yeah, I typoed above [20:32] well spotted [20:32] A+ [20:32] :D [20:32] gotcha. [20:33] phillustine: you can also convert it to binary very easily too, not that you'd want to really. Each hex digit is 4 bits [20:33] 0 is 0, F is 1111 [20:33] so FFFE is 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111110 [20:33] easy :) [20:33] try doing that in decimal! [20:33] aha. that's another reason why hex is popular. [20:34] anyway, thanks for all the explanations. need to brush my teeth and head to bed. [20:34] phillustine: you're welcome buddy [20:34] take it easy [20:34] always [20:35] todays lesson was brought to you by the number 16 and the letter F :) [20:41] Spec-Chum: thanks for help.. [20:44] I will try proprietary drivers first - vga_switcheroo is set to yes but /sys/kernel/debug/ does not contain any switcheroo === hoverboard is now known as sandyvags === sandyvags is now known as hoverboard [20:52] how can i assign a command to a global shortcut? [21:19] nescius: no worries matey, let me know who you get on :) [21:21] Spec-Chum: well, proprietary drivers having similiar issue as it seems from stracing one of included binaries [21:25] nescius: oh :( [21:25] it 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] can't you turn the onboard off completely in BIOS? [21:25] so the OS doesn't even see it [21:26] i found it really interesting.. it would mean that it is rendered in the nvidia gpu on board and then displayed via the ATI card [21:26] I guess I can try.. brb :) [21:27] * nescius restarts [21:27] hi, I new her! [21:27] I hope I'm not off topic [21:27] hi lustigerpinguin [21:27] depends what you're about to ask hah [21:28] I have a more or less general question to linux [21:28] I have "the probleme" to use gmail [21:28] a nice gimick in gmail is the chat function [21:28] my problem: I will use thunderbird (not the webinterface) [21:29] do you know a possibility to use the chat? [21:29] isn't that chat thing some google thing to lure people away from open protocols into their google+ hell? [21:29] btw: I hope my english is good to understand ;-) [21:30] but in any case, it's not something a mail client will support. or should. [21:31] if you want to make use of anything google+ offers, use the webinterface, i would suggest [21:31] I think is it in the google+ hell, i hoped there is a add on for thunderbird [21:31] (maybe it still talks xmpp?) [21:32] I used thunderbird in the last years (and private) and I like it and I will use it! [21:32] lustigerpinguin: no idea about that, sorry. i don't use thunderbird and have zero knowledge about its plugins [21:32] hi there's still one thing which prevent me to switch to kde: sound manager [21:32] In fact with gnome2 for example you had 2 choices between the headphones and the pc [21:32] but I understand nothing with the kde method [21:33] o.k.
