shepherdHi, when my kde locks the correct password does not unlock it. Does anyone know how I could fix it? I've been living with the same problem for along time now, but it'd be nice to fix it :p02:45

manchickenshepherd: what do you mean? Are you talking about the regular lock screen?03:09
shepherdYes manchicken03:12
shepherdIt always says incorrect password.03:12
manchickenAre you using just the default authentication?03:13
manchickenHave you tried changing your password yet?03:13
shepherdI believe so..03:13
manchicken(I say this assuming you have tried both of these)03:13
manchickenAnd it's not the keyring, right?03:14
manchickenThere are two different main passwords: your user password and your keyring password. It is important to keep those distinct in your mind, and it's a good practice to have different passwords for both.03:14
shepherdIt's not the keyring password, it is just the password which I use to login. I have changed it before. But the same affect remains03:16
manchickenThat's very odd... not a networked login server or SAMBA domain controller authentication, right?03:18
manchickenAlso, can you log in via the virtual terminal?03:19
shepherdYes, that and kdm work fine. And no, it's just a stock install ( albeit one I've been using for along time ). I've upgraded from 12.04 over night to 13.04. Upgrader crashes now so I can't go any further. But I've had problems with the lock screen since the beginning.03:19
lorddelta>_>03:36
lorddeltaI'm sorry manchicken but the fact you are talking to sheperd...too hilarious XD03:37
manchickenlorddelta: ... is it because my name has the word "chicken" in it?03:37
lorddeltawhat do you think?03:37
manchickenI think you've been drinking :)03:37
manchickenShepherds deal with sheep. You've got the wrong delicious meat in mind my friend :)03:38
lorddeltaheh well we are all entitled to our opinions I suppose.03:38
manchickenSheep do not taste like chicken if you cook it properly.03:38
* manchicken wishes he'd been drinking...03:38
lorddeltaA shepherd and his flock of manchicken...guy waving a staff around at a peturbed bunch of chickens03:38

luxboxhello16:49
luxboxwhy my kubuntu crashes too often ? plz16:49
BluesKaj_luxbox, how often ? and have you updated and upgraded lately?16:52
geniiluxbox: Also, a better description from you of what exactly happens with your Kubuntu might help us understand what is going on with it16:52
luxboxyes I updated, all windows suddenly blocks, only the mouse moves16:55
luxboxit is very frequent and I have to reboot several times16:56
luxboxgenii: especially when there are several programs that must process16:58
luxboxgenii: I've 4Go ram16:59
luxboxgenii: but while installing of kubuntu, I did not create a swap, maybe the issue ?17:01
geniiluxbox: Probably not the issue, although it's a good idea to make a swap no matter how much ram so that you can hibernate and sleep the computer. Does the computer run OK at first, then get this way later, or does it do this from first booting?17:02
luxboxgenii: no, later17:06
geniiluxbox: Well, might be the swap in this case then. Do you have a partition you could use for it?17:08
luxboxgenii: no, no partition available17:10
=== JonathanS is now known as JonathanD
BluesKaj_will a swapfile work in this case , genii ?17:12
geniiluxbox: You can do it an alternate way, which is to make your swap a file instead of a partition.17:13

So once the VMs I have running some work stuff finish their latest tasks in a few minutes I'll probably power cycle (I bet just a lazy reboot would do it, really, but it's fair enough that a full cycle is the most assured method).18:17

natman_how do i change from the grey color on the windows on kubuntu 1304?19:48
gits1225You'll have to install a theme I guess natman_, but then again the new theme will probably look ugly with the rest of the desktop unless you take your time and fix the quirks like this: http://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/1g9lfs/archkde_ministry_of_image/19:53
gits1225aah, forgot to break the sentence ...19:54
natman_gits1225:  but what theme, desktop theme, window dec, either dont do anything19:55
natman_in terms of changing the grey color19:55
geniisoee: So then the basic process is like: cd && mkdir chroot && sudo mount /dev/sdX# chroot   (this is where you need to know the dev name for your hd install, etc)  then: sudo mount -o bind /proc chroot/proc && sudo mount -o bind /dev chroot/dev && sudo mount -o bind /sys chroot/sys    ...then you probably want: sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf chroot/etc/resolv.conf   .... then: sudo chroot chroot19:56
geniisoee: When done, use: exit19:56
gits1225natman_: hmm, isn't it under Workspace appearance -> Window Decorations -> Get new themes?19:57
gits1225Get new decorations*19:57
natman_gits1225: yes, but no matter what i get, every window is the same, all that changes is the title bar20:05
