[00:07] <swex> hello all
[00:07] <swex> googling for an hour but still cant get
[00:07] <swex> is there any way to map one key to multiple keycodes in linux?
[04:40] <MannyVel> Help: I have a HP C7180 multifunction printer scanner. On the same workstation, the scanner works on Ubuntu but does not work on Kubuntu. Any ideas why it doesn't work on Kubuntu. Both OS's are 13.04.
[04:47] <thunder1212> I have a usb pendrive and its not showing up the out put of lsusb is< Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1f75:0916 > and also when i open disk utility the device is there and when i format drive with mbr i get this error<Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error>  my os version is 1204
[05:05] <vyrgozunqk> morning guys
[05:07] <vyrgozunqk> i got this strange problem with Konsole, when i type for example dmesg and press Space bar, when it leaves the empty space it looks like it's visually remembered, so when i continue typing | grep and etc. everytim the marker goes one space furter but only visually
[05:08] <vyrgozunqk> so at the end the marker line looks like i've pressed space 5 times, but actually act's like it's where it was

[05:33] <FluxBox23_> Good Morning and Hi @ll
[05:56] <ashes> i uninstalled kwallet on my sister's laptop, because kmail kept asking to set up a password
[05:56] <ashes> is there any unexpected consiquences to this?
[06:15] <valorie> ashes: she'll have to put her password in everywhere, over and over again
[06:16] <valorie> I can't see how email will work if passwords have to continually put in manually
[10:38] <MDgd> Hey guys
[10:38] <MDgd> Quick question, does anyone know of a way to restrict access to the system's resources per process?
[10:39] <MDgd> Like, limiting the available processor's capacities so that a process can never use more than 90% of a CPU.
[10:39] <MDgd> There's no reason for a 12% gain in speed when the tradeoff is the system locks up
[10:59] <hateball> MDgd: I think you might be able to use ulimit to achieve what you want
[10:59] <hateball> MDgd: I don't know the proper syntax tho
[10:59] <MDgd> hateball, thanks for the pointer. I'll look into it
[11:00] <hateball> MDgd:Perhaps you can set similar options using sysctl as well, not sure
[11:01] <MDgd> I found a page detailing both. It seems to address CPU time, though not load.
[11:02] <MDgd> Still it's a step forward if that means any process that hangs the PC is killed
[11:25] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:00] <DFrostedWang> Well that's dumb

[13:41] <d-egg> by god, the distribution upgrade stops to ask me for configuration changes?  Can't that be done afterwards?
[13:43] <BluesKaj> d-egg, what configuration changes ?
[13:43] <d-egg> Would that be gone when I install 'unattended-upgrades'?
[13:43] <d-egg> BluesKaj: kismet
[13:44] <d-egg> and something about gnome defaults
[13:44] <d-egg> so far
[13:44] <BluesKaj> do you have ppas in your sources
[13:44] <d-egg> BluesKaj: yes, two small ones I believe and the kde one is off.
[13:45] <BluesKaj> what's the default option ?
[13:45] <d-egg> the default option?
[13:46] <d-egg> ah another one. runsvdir
[13:47] <mprat> does anyone here use Yakuake? is there anything wrong with downloading it from the software center rather than installing it manually?
[13:47] <BluesKaj> does it give any choices to reject , add , or accept defaults?
[13:47] <BluesKaj> the default is usually to accept and hit enter
[13:48] <d-egg> I get a gui with two buttons Keep/Replace, but no option for upcoming ones
[13:48] <BluesKaj> mprat, there's no need to download it if t's already installed
[13:49] <mprat> sorry, my question was more whether the software center automatically pulled the newest versions
[13:49] <BluesKaj> d-egg, have you made any changes in the sudoer file for example , then keep your settings
[13:50] <BluesKaj> mprat, not the newest , just the most stable newest
[13:51] <BluesKaj> newest isn't always best
[13:51] <mprat> BluesKaj: that's a good point =). Thanks!
[13:51] <d-egg> BluesKaj: That might be.  I guess otherwise it wouldn't ask.  I guess my question is if there is a way to defer those dialoges to the end of the upgrade
[13:53] <BluesKaj> d-egg, dunno never tried that , it usually goes by very quickly
[13:53] <d-egg> Well, it's probably taking 2-3 hours. I mean a distribution upgrade
[13:54] <BluesKaj> the only halt in the install procedure is those non-default settings I mentioned above
[13:54] <BluesKaj> d-egg, upgradiong to ?
[13:54] <infrid> re
[13:55] <d-egg> BluesKaj: 13.04
[13:56] <BluesKaj> d-egg, right ..depends on your method ...over the internet can take a while depending on your internet connection
[13:56] <d-egg> BluesKaj: it is installing not downloading
[13:57] <d-egg> Did no one ever complain about this so far?  Is that a totally new problem?!
[13:59] <BluesKaj> d-egg, well , i can say i haven't seen it before ... I meant installing over the internet not downloading
[14:59] <razor1101> What's the difference between this and Ubuntu and xubuntu?
[15:00] <razor1101> lubuntu and nubuntu*
[15:03] <palasso> razor1101, Kubuntu uses KDE, Ubuntu uses Unity, Xubuntu uses Xfce, Lubuntu uses Lxde,
[15:04] <razor1101> So what makes each one so special from KDE?
[15:06] <palasso> They are different Desktop Environments developed by different communities/commercial entities having different goals and feature sets with different pros and cons
[15:09] <palasso> razor1101, You may learn more about them at http://kde.org/ http://unity.ubuntu.com/ http://xfce.org/ http://lxde.org/
[15:28] <mprat> I'm having some problems with my ld linker for gcc/g++ - it keeps trying to use the linker stored at /usr/local/bin rather than the one stored at /usr/bin - any ideas how to fix that?
[15:41] <murthy> hello everyone
[15:49] <ahoneybun> murthy: sorry, hello!
[15:51] <lordievader> Hey ahoneybun, how are you?
[15:52] <ahoneybun> lordievader: howdy fine, yourself?
[15:52] <lordievader> ahoneybun: Doing good too :)
[15:53] <ahoneybun> cool
[15:57] <ahoneybun> lordievader: check the trello lately?
[15:59] <lordievader> ahoneybun: At times, why?
[15:59] <ahoneybun> no reason
[16:00] <ahoneybun> hows work on the Getting Involved page?
[16:00] <lordievader> ahoneybun: Haven't worked on it lately, busy with other things.
[16:00] <ahoneybun> oh ok
[16:03] <asraniel_> hi. i have a serious problem. libreoffice writer is randomly crashing. I have no idea how to solve this (kubuntu 13.04). is there a way to install openoffice? from what i remember it didn't crash
[16:06] <murthy> asraniel_: how much ram do you have?
[16:06] <asraniel_> 4 GB
[16:07] <murthy> asraniel_: swap enabled?
[16:07] <asraniel_> yes, about 4 gb swap space
[16:08] <murthy> asraniel_: have you tried starting libree office from the terminal and check if there was any error messages?
[16:14] <murthy> going for a restart brb
[16:14] <asraniel_> there where no error messages, problem is its random and i might have to wait an hour
[16:14] <asraniel_> for the crash to come
[16:23] <asraniel_> murthy: i found a possible cause for the bug
[16:24] <asraniel_> some people suggested it might be because of the intel gpu
[16:24] <asraniel_> to fix it, one has to disable anti aliasing in libreoffice
[16:24] <murthy> asraniel_: try that
[16:24] <murthy> asraniel_: do you have the crash log?
[16:25] <asraniel_> yes i did. the problem is on my gfs computer, so i'll have to wait and see if it worked
[16:25] <asraniel_> no.. i couldn't find any
[16:25] <asraniel_> for future reference you know where one might be? i also disable java, but it crashed at least once after that
[16:26] <murthy> asraniel_: a window will popup when a crash occurs , it will get you the crash log
[16:26] <murthy> asraniel_: check back here if the solution doesn't work
[16:26] <asraniel_> that window does not popup on every crash. perhaps 1 in 3
[16:27] <murthy> asraniel_: do you have chromium installed?
[16:27] <murthy> asraniel_:  i mean the browser?
[16:27] <asraniel_> yes
[16:27] <sebastiano> hi, do you know of a quick way to change the album tag of an mp3 file? so far I do it with amarok...
[16:28] <murthy> asraniel_:  can you check if soundcloud works for you?
[16:28] <asraniel_> link?
[16:29] <murthy> asraniel_: try playing this and see if it works in chromium
[16:29] <murthy> asraniel_: https://soundcloud.com/andrewbird/sets/andrew-bird-1
[16:30] <asraniel_> murthy: does not work
[16:30] <murthy> asraniel_: ok thanks, the chromium bug is confirm
[16:32] <murthy> heh rekonq works fine with soundcloud, may be ubuntu should use rekonq as the default browser of 13.10
[16:33] <asraniel_> i wouldnt want to miss my chromium, simply to sync my bookmarks easily with chrome on my phone
[16:34] <murthy> asraniel_: bookmark sync in chrome/chromium is the best
[16:35] <ahoneybun> murthy: for me FF is faster then rekonq
[16:37] <murthy> ahoneybun: with FF everything works fine, but fat UI
[16:37] <BluesKaj> rekonq still has too many issues with important sites like banks and other financial institutions
[16:37] <ahoneybun> BluesKaj: I would not log into a bank with it
[16:38] <murthy> ahoneybun: BluesKaj can we take this to offtopic ?
[16:38] <BluesKaj> chromium refuses to integrate all of it;s GUI with gtk settings
[16:38] <ahoneybun> murthy: true
[16:39] <BluesKaj> rekonq is a legit topic for this chat ...even tho it's hopeless
[16:39] <ahoneybun> lordievader: still there/
[16:39] <ahoneybun> BluesKaj: I would not say hopeless
[16:40] <BluesKaj> it is for my purposes
[16:40] <murthy> BluesKaj: I am afraid to do online transactions using rekonq
[16:40] <apachelogger> bikeshed is not a legit topic for this channel btw
[16:40] <murthy> apachelogger: hi sentinel
[16:45] <BluesKaj> apachelogger, bikeshed ?
[16:45] <murthy> BluesKaj: you dont know bikeshed?
[16:46] <BluesKaj> I have one , but it's in my back yard
[16:46] <murthy> ha ha ha
[16:47] <murthy> BluesKaj: thats the same i know :D
[16:47] <BluesKaj> along with lawnmowerand gardening tools etc
[16:49] <BluesKaj> am I supposed to know about "bikeshed" in Linux ?

[20:32] <jaysee> I have a dual monitor setup and have been playing around with kde a bit. One thing i liked about unity is that i had the global menu at the top of whatever screen i was using the app on. So naturally I tried to set the same idea in kde, but seem to have run into a roadblock. It seems only the first window menubar widget actually picks up on whatever application is running, with the other just sitting with it's generic file -> close. So I was w
[20:32] <jaysee> ondering, is it possible to have both of those pick up on my current app? Screenshot of issue: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51261980/Snapshots/Stack%20Overflow/snapshot1.png
