[01:07] <RaphaelAraujo> Hi guys, is there anyway to get more themes for kubuntu's login screen? I saw it uses a KDE version of lightdm, but couldn't find themes for it :/
[03:08] <kdef> hi, anyone here know their way around using pulse audio and headsets?
[03:16] <ahoneybun> kdef: I can try
[03:17] <kdef> 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] <kdef> and back.... I have no sound again.... headset has no sound
[03:18] <kdef> also, kmix settings change randomly....  this is the worst.... if I start going deaf, can I sue canonical?
[03:18] <ahoneybun> oh my
[03:19] <kdef> i think it might be a kde thing, though...
[03:20] <ahoneybun> kdef: someone here can help you :)
[03:23] <kdef> I googled and it seems when there's no sound, it usually means a conflict
[03:23] <kdef> the headset is treated like another sound card... but, I had it working before
[03:24] <kdef> I went into phonon - system settings and set it to prefer the headset for now
[03:24] <kdef> but, nothing is working
[04:03] <kdef> nevermind, I'll install smth else... smth NOT KDE
[05:31] <lordievader> murthy_: I've succeeded in compiling the whole lot :D, compiled the whole program + the python plugin from scratch.

[10:51] <ovidius2> darkfire: hello. is "moin" international now? ;-)
[12:48] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[14:30] <phillustine> can i get a little support up in here?
[14:32] <susundberg> Sure, but you have to ask the question first
[14:32] <phillustine> you can't intuit it electronically?
[14:32] <phillustine> pfff. this isn't what i signed up for.
[14:34] <phillustine> anywho. i guess no-one found my jokes amusing. tough crowd.
[14:34] <phillustine> i need to get my kubuntu.iso onto a usb.
[14:34] <phillustine> i'm guessing i can't just drag and drop.
[14:35] <BluesKaj> !usb
[14:35] <susundberg> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[14:35] <susundberg> damn those shortcuts, always bit faster
[14:36] <BluesKaj> well, this isn't a pi**ing contest :)
[14:38] <phillustine> susundberg: i guess that was for me?
[14:39] <BluesKaj> nope
[14:39] <BluesKaj> jk
[14:40] <BluesKaj> who else ? :)
[14:41] <BluesKaj> phillustine, assuming your machine has usb boot capability of course
[14:56] <doleyb__> When I push alt-tab, how many window titles should be visible at once?
[14:57] <genii> As many as you have open on the taskbar of your current desktop
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <genii> 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] <doleyb__> Anyone know where alt-tab options are changed?
[15:02] <phillustine> 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] <doleyb__> You can basically just install kde packages into ubuntu...
[15:05] <phillustine> but if install from a boot_usb, will it erase my beloved files.
[15:07] <doleyb__> Can you find the package installer?
[15:08] <jazzkutya> phillustine: you can get kubuntu on an existing ubuntu by installing the kde-desktop package if i remember right
[15:08] <phillustine> i'm currently making a bootable usb from an .iso? by package installer you mean: dpkg or apt-get?
[15:08] <doleyb__> !kde
[15:08] <jazzkutya> over the network, no need to install any OS
[15:09] <phillustine> ja sure. i can do it like that.
[15:09] <phillustine> but perhaps i'm being heavy handed.
[15:09] <phillustine> my real prob. is with unity. i just want a kde desktop.
[15:09] <genii> 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] <morgan_> is there a schedule for kde 4.10.4 in 13.04
[15:10] <jazzkutya> 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] <phillustine> i don't mind
[15:10] <morgan_> one issue with swicthing is some default apps may not be the native kde one's...
[15:10] <jazzkutya> after installing kubuntu-desktop you should get a change to select what to use at the login prompt: unity or kde
[15:10] <phillustine> jazzkutya: i can just get the kubuntu desktop with apt-get
[15:11] <phillustine> aha.
[15:12] <murthy> hello everyone
[15:13] <dmatt> anybody has working gpg in kmail in 12.04 LTS with KDE 4.10.4 ?
[15:14] <dmatt> 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] <phillustine> jazzkutya: do i then just reboot?
[15:15] <jazzkutya> phillustine: afaik it's enough to log out and log in
[15:15] <jazzkutya> you can reboot if this does not work
[15:15] <phillustine> jazzkutya: thanks.
[15:15] <phillustine> i'll give it a go
[17:09] <dmatt> 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] <jalcine> How open is the Oxygen icon project?
[17:12] <jalcine> Actually, I was wondering how easy it'd be to build a flexible icon set for KDE
[17:14] <genii> jalcine: http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?page_id=4
[17:15] <genii> jalcine: KDE's suggestions for using and modifying them: https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Oxygen/Licensing
[17:18] <jalcine> thanks genii
[17:21] <genii> jalcine: You're welcome

[18:47] <Spec-Chum> haha
[19:11] <kaddi> hi? How do I download an album form amazon with ubuntu? Is there a way to use the amz files?
[19:12] <kaddi> i tried pymazon and clamz and they don't work
[19:12] <kaddi> i'm having trouble figuring out how the amzdownloader in amarok should work (still on 12.10)
[19:13] <ahoneybun> kaddi: you bought a album on the website?
[19:13] <kaddi> yes :.
[19:13] <kaddi> :/
[19:13] <kaddi> they don't tell you you can't download it until after you paid
[19:15] <ahoneybun> kaddi: I just go onto the amazon cloud player and download each song
[19:15] <kaddi> but it still tells me to install the mp3downloader if i only select one song
[19:16] <kaddi> ah wait
[19:17] <kaddi> but that takes forever :/
[19:18] <ahoneybun> kaddi: amazon has not updated their build for theirmp3downloader for newer Ubuntu versions I believe, let me check
[19:18] <kaddi> i know.. i was hoping some of the other apps would work.. But I can't make it work atm
[19:19] <kaddi> oh well
[19:19] <ahoneybun> odd seems they don't even have a app for Linux
[19:19] <ahoneybun> official anyway
[19:20] <kaddi> they used to have one in the past
[19:20] <kaddi> which makes it even more ironic
[19:20] <ahoneybun> Yea I remember one being on their site
[19:20] <kaddi> since they're now looking to get themselves integrated into ubuntu
[19:20] <ahoneybun> I guess no more development went into it
[19:20] <ahoneybun> the Ubuntu Unity search was Ubuntu not them I believe
[19:21] <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] <kaddi> i think amazon paid for that?
[19:21] <kaddi> but I'm not 100%.. Didn't bother to follow that closesly
[19:22] <ahoneybun> they pay if the user buys the product they found in the search
[19:22] <ahoneybun> if they follow the link in the dash and buy it then Ubuntu gets a % of it
[19:23] <kaddi> ah
[19:23] <kaddi> still seems fishy to me :p But hey, I'm not affected, so there.
[19:23] <ahoneybun> maybe it can run in wine
[19:25] <kaddi> i started downloading them one by one now
[19:26] <ahoneybun> oih
[19:30] <ahoneybun> their is a program called clamz
[19:30] <ahoneybun> that downloads songs and albums
[19:30] <ahoneybun> commandline but still
[19:33] <ahoneybun> kaddi: how do you get the amz files?
[19:33] <kaddi> yeah, it's not working for me
[19:34] <kaddi> 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] <kaddi> not with clamz nor with pymazon
[19:36] <ahoneybun> so clamz does not work
[19:36] <kaddi> no
[19:37] <kaddi> 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] <djono> 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] <genii> djono: Please don't post the same question in multiple channels. Choose the channel of the distribution you're using.
[19:40] <djono> im using lubuntu kubuntu and ubuntu
[19:41] <genii> djono: Whichever one you're connecting in now.
[19:42] <djono> kubuntu
[19:45] <djono> any ideas
[19:52] <nescius> Hello!
[19:53] <phillustine> what up
[19:53] <phillustine> I'm a helpee in need of a helper. Any helpers out there?
[19:54] <nescius> Issues with a highend ATI card being identified as nvidia..
[19:54] <genii> djono: System Settings ...Hardware ...Input Devices ...Select Touchpad on left... Scrolling tab on right
[19:54] <nescius> I believe I am running noveau drivers
[19:55] <Spec-Chum> nescius: noveau is nvidia, are you sure you've got an ATI card?
[19:56] <Spec-Chum> what does inxi -Gx tell you?  Assuming you have it installed :)
[19:56] <Spec-Chum> inix -G
[19:56] <Spec-Chum> Graphics:  Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cypress PRO [Radeon HD 5850] bus-ID 01:00.0

[19:56] <nescius>  vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
[19:58] <Spec-Chum> oh, right, odd
[19:59] <piratebrido> anyone have any recommendations for a dynamic dns service?
[19:59] <piratebrido> i'm in the uk if that makes a difference
[20:00] <nescius> ..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] <phillustine> Does anyone know of any opensource GIS software?
[20:02] <genii> phillustine: Some guys at my work use this: http://www.qgis.org/
[20:03] <phillustine> genii: nice. thanks. i'll check it out.
[20:04] <Spec-Chum> nescius: what does 'lspci | grep VGA' say?
[20:04] <genii> piratebrido: no-ip is the classic :)
[20:04] <nescius> Spec-Chum: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF110 [GeForce GTX 580] (rev a1)
[20:04] <nescius> right..

[20:08] <BadDesign> Does anyone have this problem with Skype when you are unable to send messages? I have Skype 4.2.0.11 and I get "This message is not delivered yet" when I try to send a message to someone who is offline

[20:08] <Spec-Chum> looks like it might help
[20:08] <Spec-Chum> nothing I've got experience with tho, sorry
[20:11] <nescius> Spec-Chum: will do, thanks
[20:12] <morgan_> looks like amazon abandoned Linux mp3 support
[20:12] <morgan_> *ucking idiots
[20:12] <morgan_> http://www.amazon.co.uk/forum/mp3?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx28IXQIV6LBRU4&cdThread=Tx3SF3IF9K4F2ZK
[20:13] <morgan_> http://mdboom.github.io/blog/2012/09/11/amazon-mp3-ends-their-support-for-linux/
[20:16] <Spec-Chum> morgan_: their loss
[20:16] <phillustine> Why do memory locations have always this 0xhex format? What does the "0x" stand for?
[20:16] <piratebrido> thanks genii
[20:17] <genii> piratebrido: Welcome
[20:20] <Artakha> phillustine, the "0x" is just a prefix so that hex numbers can be distinguished from base-10 ones
[20:21] <Artakha> i dunno exactly why they're in hex though, i guess they're shorter
[20:21] <phillustine> Artakha: thanks. i just read a little on that on wikipedia as well. i wonder why they use hex at all.
[20:21] <phillustine> perhaps that's it
[20:21] <phillustine> 8-bit word or so
[20:21] <Artakha> 32-bit :p
[20:21] <Artakha> or 64-bit in 64-bit systems
[20:21] <Artakha> i guess it gives them a neat standard length
[20:22] <phillustine> well, either way you can access more memory locations with shorter string lengths
[20:22] <phillustine> sth like that
[20:22] <Artakha> no it's not like that
[20:22] <Artakha> internally they're just numbers
[20:22] <Artakha> what we're on about is how they're printed out
[20:23] <Artakha> when it comes to computers, deep down everything is numbers
[20:23] <Artakha> at the base level everything is just bits
[20:23] <techdion> hello
[20:24] <Artakha> hello to you too
[20:29] <phillustine> ja sure. you have a point.
[20:29] <Spec-Chum> 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] <phillustine> that makes sense
[20:30] <phillustine> for humans then rather than machines
[20:30] <Spec-Chum> yeah
[20:30] <phillustine> how did you get 255, 256, 254 from FFFE incidentally?
[20:30] <Spec-Chum> powers of 16
[20:31] <Spec-Chum> F is 16; 16 x 16 is 256
[20:31] <Spec-Chum> FE is 16 * 16 + 15
[20:32] <phillustine> well is not then 256 * 256 + 254
[20:32] <Spec-Chum> yeah, I typoed above
[20:32] <Spec-Chum> well spotted
[20:32] <Spec-Chum> A+
[20:32] <Spec-Chum> :D
[20:32] <phillustine> gotcha.
[20:33] <Spec-Chum> 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] <Spec-Chum> 0 is 0, F is 1111
[20:33] <Spec-Chum> so FFFE is 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111110
[20:33] <Spec-Chum> easy :)
[20:33] <Spec-Chum> try doing that in decimal!
[20:33] <phillustine> aha. that's another reason why hex is popular.
[20:34] <phillustine> anyway, thanks for all the explanations. need to brush my teeth and head to bed.
[20:34] <Spec-Chum> phillustine: you're welcome buddy
[20:34] <phillustine> take it easy
[20:34] <Spec-Chum> always
[20:35] <Spec-Chum> todays lesson was brought to you by the number 16 and the letter F :)
[20:41] <nescius> Spec-Chum: thanks for help..
[20:44] <nescius> I will try proprietary drivers first - vga_switcheroo is set to yes but /sys/kernel/debug/ does not contain any  switcheroo
[20:52] <zoie> how can i assign a command to a global shortcut?
[21:19] <Spec-Chum> nescius: no worries matey, let me know who you get on :)
[21:21] <nescius> Spec-Chum: well, proprietary drivers having similiar issue as it seems from stracing one of included binaries
[21:25] <Spec-Chum> nescius: oh :(
[21:25] <nescius> 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] <Spec-Chum> can't you turn the onboard off completely in BIOS?
[21:25] <Spec-Chum> so the OS doesn't even see it
[21:26] <nescius> 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] <nescius> I guess I can try.. brb :)
[21:27]  * nescius restarts
[21:27] <lustigerpinguin> hi, I new her!
[21:27] <lustigerpinguin> I hope I'm not off topic
[21:27] <Spec-Chum> hi lustigerpinguin
[21:27] <Spec-Chum> depends what you're about to ask hah
[21:28] <lustigerpinguin> I have a more or less general question to linux
[21:28] <lustigerpinguin> I have "the probleme" to use gmail
[21:28] <lustigerpinguin> a nice gimick in gmail is the chat function
[21:28] <lustigerpinguin> my problem: I will use thunderbird (not the webinterface)
[21:29] <lustigerpinguin> do you know a possibility to use the chat?
[21:29] <Torch> isn't that chat thing some google thing to lure people away from open protocols into their google+ hell?
[21:29] <lustigerpinguin> btw: I hope my english is good to understand ;-)
[21:30] <Torch> but in any case, it's not something a mail client will support. or should.
[21:31] <Torch> if you want to make use of anything google+ offers, use the webinterface, i would suggest
[21:31] <lustigerpinguin> I think is it in the google+ hell, i hoped there is a add on for thunderbird
[21:31] <Torch> (maybe it still talks xmpp?)
[21:32] <lustigerpinguin> I used thunderbird in the last years (and private) and I like it and I will use it!
[21:32] <Torch> lustigerpinguin: no idea about that, sorry. i don't use thunderbird and have zero knowledge about its plugins
[21:32] <hid> hi there's still one thing which prevent me to switch to kde: sound manager
[21:32] <hid> In fact with gnome2 for example you had 2 choices between the headphones and the pc
[21:32] <hid> but I understand nothing with the kde method
[21:33] <lustigerpinguin> o.k. Torch thanks, i will looking for a solution...
[21:33] <lustigerpinguin> bye
[21:35] <Torch> hmm. first google hit has a how-to...
