[00:38] <wfreeman> Hi, I have a simple question about laptop backlights. The built-in KDE brightness control does not do what it should do. I have written my own scripts to control brightness and would like to bind them to the laptop's brightness hotkeys, but even after disabling those hotkeys in the KDE hotkey manager, they are still doing weird things with the screen brightness.
[00:39] <wfreeman> Does anyone know what other KDE (or otherwise) component is reading these hotkeys? Again, all I'd like to do is turn this off, so I can bind them to my own scripts which work.
[00:40] <swex> wfreeman: whats your kubuntu version?
[00:41] <swex> wfreeman: how do you disable those keys in  shortcuts and gestures?
[00:42] <wfreeman> swex: I'm on 13.04. I simply went to System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts -> KDE Daemon, and turned them off
[00:44] <swex> so now just goto custom shortcuts and make you own script run on those keys
[00:45] <wfreeman> I have done that, but something else (something more low-level, perhaps) is reading the keys and triggering some brightness calls that don't work. If I set my own shortcuts in custom shortcuts, I get the weird built-in behavior, plus mine.
[00:45] <wfreeman> (Thank you for your help, by the way!)
[00:48] <swex> how do you get info about triggering some calls that don't work?
[00:49] <swex> do you get indication bar on press?
[00:51] <wfreeman> I get the indication bar, but the backlight brightness also flickers wildly (i.e. hitting "backlight up" cycles between 0% and 10%)
[00:53] <swex> wfreeman: what backlight driver do you have?
[00:54] <swex> wfreeman: whats your backlight hardware?
[00:54] <wfreeman> How do I check that?
[00:55] <wfreeman> I see intel_backlight, acpi_video0, acpi_video1 in /sys/class/backlight -- the two video* things are probably because this is an Optimus system.
[00:55] <swex> ls -R /sys/class/backlight/
[00:56] <wfreeman> yep, those are the three I see there. But in dmesg I see a message: asus_wmi: Backlight controlled by ACPI video driver
[00:58] <wfreeman> Don't worry about it, I'll just use some other hotkeys for the backlight. Just thought there might be an easy answer.
[01:02] <swex> wfreeman: seems like kde just can't choose right one for you
[01:03] <swex> check for corresponding modules of lsmod
[01:03] <swex> and try to delete unnecessary with rmmod
[01:05] <wfreeman> Unfortunately, it looks like asus_wmi does lots of other things (which work correctly), so I'll just use some other hotkeys for the backlight. Solutions I've found involve hacking dsdt tables, which I'd prefer not to mess with atm :P
[01:12] <swex> wfreeman: also try to bug to https://bugs.kde.org/
[02:06] <BluesKaj> 'evening all
[04:51] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[05:01] <Whiskey`Wonka> would this be the right place to talk about a possible bug in kde network manager?
[05:02] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[07:27] <testerjester> hey
[07:27] <testerjester> it's been years since I have used IRC and Unix/Linux
[07:28] <testerjester> Just getting back on the horse.
[08:59] <inf> Hello. Any idea on how to fix blurred fullscreen flash clips? (especially youtube, kde 4.10, Chromium 25.0.1364.160)
[09:18] <liudas> hello everyone. failing install kde-workspace
[09:18] <liudas> i use ppa, atp-get update and then upgrade ays that failed install kde-workspace
[09:18] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:18] <liudas> laptop boot, but cant login
[09:20] <liudas> kubuntu version 12.10 i guess, i'll check that in few minutes
[11:18] <Strav> he. Can anyone tell me what is the preferred way to launch kmail in systray without having it's main window appearing on startup?
[11:19] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[13:47] <buchstabensalat> hi there. I'm trying kubuntu (and kde) for the first time right now and I have a problem with the file manager. the back and forward mouse buttons don't work. google says tinkering with xte and xbindkeys is a solution. is this really the only way? is there no mouse button support in kde?
[15:03] <ArchBeOS> hey guys, i was thinking about jumping to kubuntu as my laptop's main distro but before i did that are there any plans regarding mir? will kubuntu exist in a year
[15:03] <ArchBeOS> ?
[15:04] <thelionroars> do you really think ubuntu is going to drop all support fox X? Seems unlikely to me
[15:04] <lordievader> It is for as far as I know unsure if Kubuntu will use Mir or Wayland.
[15:05] <thelionroars> so no Wayland either?
[15:05] <ArchBeOS> so....vanilla KDE Debian?
[15:06] <SonikkuAmerica> Well, according to the ubuntu-users mailing digest, it all has to do with what lightdm will do.
[15:06] <ArchBeOS> who maintains lightdm?
[15:11] <thelionroars> I've done something funny to my sudo persmissions on my desktop, which I notice only when I try to update using the GUI. The updater won't accept my password, however I can update on the commandline using apt-get etc. Presumably trying to get su privileges for any other GUI utility has the same problems. Does anyone know what settings I need to change?
[15:12] <lordievader> ArchBeOS: I believe lightdm is a Canonical creation.
[15:13] <Wizard> Hi.
[15:13] <lordievader> Hey Wizard
[15:15] <Wizard> Seems that 13.04 is available for PowerPC :)
[15:16] <Wizard> Any people who tried it out here? :P
[15:17] <Wizard> lordievader: Hi, btw.
[15:17] <lordievader> Wizard: ;)
[16:06] <buchstabensalat> how fast after release are new kde version usually available in kubuntu? don't care if official backports or ppa
[16:25] <Walex2> buchstabensalat: some days to a week usually. No guarantees
[16:31] <buchstabensalat> ok, thank you
[17:39] <masahero> Hello
[19:23] <OerHeks> Awesome, 2nd screen dvi is working great on Kubuntu13.04 with Nvidia GT430
[19:29] <gabylinuxssd> hello everyone!
[19:29] <lordievader> Hey gabylinuxssd
[19:32] <gabylinuxssd> hello to all!
[19:32] <lordievader> Hey gabylinuxssd
[19:33] <gabylinuxssd> i have a little problem with thuinderbird and rss reading, it does not open links, and i think because it adds itself two backslahes before the link like: "//www..."
[19:33] <gabylinuxssd> i did  not found any solution on the net
[19:34] <lordievader> gabylinuxssd: Do you have an example of what it does and what it should do?
[19:35] <gabylinuxssd> well,i see that the problem is on akregator,too..what it shoul do is simply open any link on clik or double click in any browser,but its not happening because the programs add two backslahes before the actual link
[19:36] <gabylinuxssd> i did not change any settings on the programs
[19:38] <lordievader> gabylinuxssd: What happens when you right click the link and select 'Open link in browser'?
[19:38] <gabylinuxssd> on thunderbird nothing happens...and on akregator
[19:39] <gabylinuxssd> file:///www........   webpage not found when opened in any browser
[19:40] <gabylinuxssd> on viewing the source on thunderbird of the rss, i see the same: <base href="//www......."
[19:41] <lordievader> gabylinuxssd: Have you tried other rss feeds? Perhaps it is simply the rss feed that is malformed.
[19:43] <gabylinuxssd> yes,thunderbird and akregator,and both programs are reading well the rss and the content of them,but whe i want to open the link on any browser the programs adds two backslahes before the link and i think this is why i cannot open in browser
[19:43] <gabylinuxssd> lordievader,can you try it yourself with a rss to see if this is general problem or only me?
[19:44] <lordievader> gabylinuxssd: Give me a minute.
[19:45] <gabylinuxssd> ok
[19:47] <lordievader> gabylinuxssd: Right I had an 'Account settings' bug, I cannot add accounts. Or do I add rss feeds elsewhere?
[19:48] <gabylinuxssd> in thunderbird:file, new, other account
[19:48] <gabylinuxssd> blogs and news feed
[19:54] <gabylinuxssd> lordievader, i see now something, on akregator, all the defaults feeds are working well and open links in browser,but i see that the format for the rss is "www.......rdf" and when i add new rss feed it does not have the rdf format
[19:54] <lordievader> gabylinuxssd: The website link opens fine on this side of the screen.
[19:54] <gabylinuxssd> importingt a default kde rss on thunderbirds,the links are working too
[19:54] <gabylinuxssd> can you give me your test rss to test it here
[19:57] <lordievader> gabylinuxssd: http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/rss
[19:57] <gabylinuxssd> ok,testing now
[19:59] <gabylinuxssd> yes, thanks lordievader, looks like my rss links are malformed because with your link is working ok
[20:00] <gabylinuxssd> but its strange because i get all the title and content but on double click it is not working
[20:05] <soee> anyone using latest Chrome and can confirm that G+ sometimes hangs ?
[20:06] <lordievader> soee: Let me check.
[20:06] <soee> lordievader, ok
[20:07] <soee> lordievader, wait from what i see i have 29-dev version, so this might be the problem
[20:08] <lordievader>  soee When it was still loading there where some short hangs, but after it fully loaded I saw no problem.
[20:09] <soee> lordievader, ok thank you
[20:09] <lordievader> soee: No problem ;)
[20:18] <gabylinuxssd> bye lordie,thanks
